Modding and motivation
Recently I have been working on a mod project, or so I say. In actuality I will open up kotor tool, start poking around, and then come up with any excuse I can of why I can't mod today. I love the feeling of seeing your story come to life. It's a wonderful thing, but I just can't seem to motivate myself to do it anymore if I ever really could. So my question is this: how do you guys find motivation to mod? Or even work on any projects you don't have to complete?
Do you not enjoy playing God when I comes to allowing us to mod? Face it, we get off on power trips being able to mold a universe to our will.
lol, talk to me later
I do it for the fame and glory that comes with modding so that I can increase my oh so enormous ego.
Or I just do things for myself and release them in case anyone else wants them...
I always enjoyed expanding the envelope of what's possible with KotOR modding. It really kept me going to see what I could do within the limitations of the engine.
I do it for the Dark side Cookies...mmm
On topic:
Myself- I think about the enjoyment people will get from playing the mod.
I know there will always be people who will not enjoy or have XYZ to grip about - But the over all player base will enjoy your mod.
Just think, one of your waiting to be completed/release mods -might just inspire another person to mod -wither it be kotor games or another game.
I know I was inspired by other peoples' mods to get into modding or at least think- let me see what this is all about.
There is a person waiting to be inspired by your mod- you just need to finish/release.
Now go and inspire others with your mods =)
I've been going in cycles for the past year or two..do some work, take some time off, do some work, take some time off....About 3-6 months ago, I swore off modding. I thought I was done, just couldn't do it anymore. Slowed down my visits to LucasForums, Deadly Stream, etc. Tried to distance myself from it.
Then out of the blue just started tinkering again--helped someone else with a modding problem, got a random question about one of my mods, and 'BAM'--I was at it full throttle again. Then I said to myself "You've done so much work already on these things it would be pretty F'ing stupid if you didn't finish them."
So I've set a goal of getting these mods done and released...then.....we will see.
I also haven't been very active lately, though I won't stop modding games in general. I like the idea of implementing something I would like to see in a game. For example: I scripted a K.I.T.T. from Knight Rider into GTA SA, the way I wanted it to be. It wasn't perfect, sure. But I liked it that way. I knew there were completed mods out there, but I just wanted the car. So I basically do things, because I want to have them and I know what I want. If they are complete I'll release them. (Most of them are not :xp:)
On Topic: I've been very...VERY inactive latley unfortunatly... But basicly I look at modding the same way I look at football (American :p) or any sport you may play. Everyone has to find they're own reason to play. I'm not even going to lie a big reason I play football is the fact it really makes me more popular in highschool. While some simply play to stay in shape. Modding is the same way some mod for compliments while others mod for themselves.
Well, I have some mods I haven't let go of and to this end I'm getting into 3D as a whole...as soon as I can afford to make a functional build of my next machine I've been talking about forever.
I have several health concerns now so I can't internet like I used to. Or game. :(
I know this may sound cheesy, lame, or stupid, or whatever excuse people use to make fun of overly emotional speeches, but bear with me:
Think of how you felt the first time you made an item, the first time you got that skin looking just right, or even the first time one of your mods got a download. How did you feel, knowing that you could create almost anything you wanted? And what did you think when you saw that someone liked your idea? You wanted to do it again, didn't you?
I know that modding these games isn't a paid profession, but more of a hobby. That doesn't mean you can't try your hardest or do what someone tells you to; it means that you dive into a universe you enjoy, and make it seem a little more right.
For me, these things are paramount to why I mod. I enjoy what I create, but I also don't create mindlessly. I take after HK in that respect: it isn't about the numbers, but the quality of my work. I need to have it right, have it just the way it needs to be, and short of that, the best I can make it. I have a motivation to try my hardest, but I ground myself to something else: stability. Modding is a finely-tuned machine: if one thing goes out of balance, the machine loses its edge and doesn't function the way it should. For me, this translates into something real simple: "If it doesn't make sense, or you can't make it make sense, it can't be suitable material."
We all journey on the paths we tread, and sometimes we find a crossroads but don't know which way to tread. Tired from the journey, we settle down and rest a while to think. When we make a decision, we close paths that won't be tread; sometimes we leave our well-worn paths and travel roads new and unknown. But one day we must all go home.
You've been in this thing for about 3 years(give or take). Your lack of motivation is entirely justified. The best advice I can offer is to consider the basic questions:
1. Why did I get into modding?
2. What do I enjoy from it?
3. If I could give it up, why would I?
In closing, I find motivation because of my love of a good story. I feel great when I imagine an adventure unfold, the people, the places, the dangers and triumphs they face. They have lives, backgrounds, stories, wants and fears of their own. I get an immense satisfaction in telling their stories and molding them into people. If I see something that catches my eye, or that seems impossible, I ask myself, "Why not?" and think about how to do it.
SPEECH OVER! :p
Sorry for the immensely long post, but I didn't realize I had this much to say. Hope you do well, whatever you do in your free time. How's high school?

I know that there is a limit of 5000 index entries per entity, which means I can't do things like this:
class Foo(db.Model):
x = db.ListProperty(int)
y = db.ListProperty(int)
foo1 = Foo(x = range(5001))
Furthermore, if I have the index in index.yaml
- kind: Foo
- name: x
- name: y
then I also see from this thread:
that I can't do this:
foo2 = Foo(x = range(100), y=range(100))
because that would give me 10,000 index entries.
However, my question is: if I DON'T have any entries in index.yaml for Foo and try:
foo3 = Foo(x = range(100), y=range(100))
will that still raise the "BadRequestError:Too many indexed properties for entity" exception? From my tests, it looks like it won't cause any errors. Is this correct? How many index entries would foo3 have in this case? Is it 200 (the sum of the lengths of each list)? Or something else?

Business-not-as-usual: Tackling the impact of climate change on supply chain risk By Richard Gledhill, Dan Hamza-Goodacre and Lit Ping Low
While climate change and increasing temperatures now seem inevitable, there are high levels of uncertainty about the manifestations and magnitude of their impact. What is certain, though, is that climate change will have a multiplier effect on supply chain risk. By looking closely at the nature of a sector and the concentration of supply, it is possible to gauge the magnitude of the impact, with agricultural commodities such as wheat, maize and especially rice more subject to supply change disruption than petroleum, gas, metal ores and scrap. Effective ways to manage the supply change disruptions created by climate change risks centre on three principles: 1) recognising that the risks cannot be viewed in isolation due to their interconnectivity; 2) ensuring that the appropriate risk management procedures are in place including scenario planning; and 3) developing global collaborative strategies to deal with heightened international resource scarcity.

I want to get the search box back in Windows 7 without having to enable the Windows Search service. Is there a registry key to make it behave like in Vista, so I can just do searches on the fly without having some pesky indexing service running in the background?
this is not possible. Windows Search is required for the Search box to function.
however, you can enable Windows Search and disable indexing separately. but searches will be signifacantly slower.
Alternatively, you may want to have a look at Voidtool's Everything, taking Windows desktop search to a whole new level, unrivaled in speed and capability.
Everything is freeware, a portable version is available.
You can simply disable the indexing service?
Then, press Alt and go to
Choose the second option (and anything else you want).
There are two pretty simple ways of disabling Windows from Indexing;
As far as I know, both of these methods should still let you be able to search in Windows Explorer.

Waterbury to see $350k from insuranceNovember 16,2012
WATERBURY The villages insurance coverage will provide a nearly $350,000 blank check as compensation for its old office building at 51 S. Main St., which was severely damaged by flooding from Tropical Storm Irene last year.
A contractor had estimated almost a year ago that repairing the building would cost $435,844, but Waterbury officials have since decided that the space is insufficient for their needs in coming decades, municipal manager Bill Shepeluk said Wednesday at a village trustees meeting.
The trustees can now figure out how else to spend the insurance money, and there are no restrictions.
Due to depreciation, the villages insurance company had anticipated providing 75 percent of the cost to rehabilitate the building to the condition it was in prior to Irene. But the village argued that inflation should instead bump the amount up. The insurer ultimately offered 80 percent of the rehabilitation estimate, Shepeluk said.
The insurance money will also continue to cover expenses for heat and electricity at 51 S. Main St. and rental costs for the village police department, but the arrangement wont last indefinitely.MORE IN Central VermontRUTLAND More than 26,000 people were without power when severe thunderstorms rolled through the...

Whisky distilled in Dunedin and matured in Oamaru will take
on legendary Scottish brands Glenfiddich and Johnnie Walker
at their own game in a precursor to the All Blacks-Scotland
test match at the weekend.
Two months after two whisky brands from the New Zealand
Whisky Co were named world's best at a competition in the
United States, company spokesman Greg Ramsay said more of the
company's whisky produced at the Willowbank Distillery now
faced a test match against the Scots.
Mr Ramsay said the "test match" would take the form of a
blind tasting organised by Edinburgh whisky experts.
"Scotland has never beaten the All Blacks in 107 years of
rugby, but when it comes to whisky, the tables are turned.
The New Zealand Whisky Collection will be the underdog
against the world whisky powerhouse.
"Still, an upset in this weekend's blind tasting is far more
likely than one out on the Murrayfield turf."
The company's whisky stock has been aged in Oamaru for the
past 20 years, and Oamaru Maturation Store manager Debbie
Preston said the company had recently re-commenced exports to
Scotland, and the craftsmanship and quality ingredients with
which it was made would stand it "in good stead" when taking
on the Scottish powerhouses.

What Is Sleep Apnea?
When you have this condition, your breath can become very shallow or you may even stop breathing -- briefly -- while you sleep. It can happen many times a night in some people.
Obstructive sleep apnea happens when something partly or completely blocks your upper airway during shut-eye. That makes your diaphragm and chest muscles work harder to open the obstructed airway and pull air into the lungs. Breathing usually resumes with a loud gasp, snort, or body jerk. You may not sleep well, but you probably won't be aware that this is happening.
The condition can also reduce the flow of oxygen to vital organs and cause irregular heart rhythms.
The most common obstructive sleep apnea warning signs include:
- Daytime sleepiness or fatigue
- Dry mouth or sore throat when you wake up
- Headaches in the morning
- Trouble concentrating, forgetfulness, depression, or irritability
- Night sweats
- Restlessness during sleep
- Problems with sex
- Snoring
- Waking up suddenly and feeling like you're gasping or choking
- Trouble getting up in the mornings
If you share a bed with someone, they'll probably notice it before you do.
Symptoms in children may not be as obvious. They may include:
- Bedwetting
- Choking or drooling
- Sweating a lot at night
- Ribcage moves inward when they exhale
- Learning and behavior disorders
- Problems at school
- Sluggishness or sleepiness (often misinterpreted as laziness in the classroom)
- Snoring
- Teeth grinding
- Restlessness in bed
- Pauses or absence of breathing
- Unusual sleeping positions, such as sleeping on the hands and knees, or with the neck hyperextended
Talk to your doctor if you notice any of these problems. There are a lot of other possible causes for these symptoms as well.

Christine M. Irvin5 Stars Out Of 5Another book featuring Jackson JonesApril 17, 2012Christine M. IrvinQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for #2: Jackson Jones: The Tale of a Boy, a Troll, and a Rather Large Chicken.Jackson Jones: The Tale of a Boy, a Troll, and a Rather Large Chicken (make sure the title is in italics), written by Jenn Kelly, is the second installment in the Jackson Jones series of books. In the first book, Jackson Jones: The Tale of a Boy, An Elf and a Very Stinky Fish, Jackson's adventures start when he falls into his aunt's hair (yes, you read that right). In this book, it all starts when Jackson loses his temper after his little brother trashes his notebook, his special notebook, the one with all his stories and drawings in it. After Jackson starts yelling about it, his mother sends him outside to clean the pool so he can cool off. While cleaning the pool, a fierce wind kicks up and hail starts pouring down, threatening the patio umbrella. When Jackson tries to rescue the umbrella, a big gust of wind opens it up and carries him into the air, much like Mary Poppins.
Jackson is taken through the skies until he eventually lands in a big tree. But, this isn't any ordinary tree, this tree is full of life. First, he meets a troll named Stimple, whose job is to collect the garbage from all the floors in the tree (Yes, you read that right.). Jackson asks Stimple how to get out of the tree so he can go home, but Stimple is busy and tells Jackson he will have to wait until he (Stimple) has finished his work. In the meantime, Jackson has many adventures.
He meets an elf, the elevator man, and several chickens, including a rather large one. Through his adventures, Jackson learns the importance of family. As Sir Shaw says, "Mind your roots. The Author will always help you find your way home." The elf is a cousin of the elf in the first book and the elevator man, Sir Shaw, worked in the Book Room in the first book. And, God is "The Author" as he was in the first book.
The pencil sketch illustrations by Ariane Elsammak are expressive and are used in every chapter.
What I Like: As with the first book in the series, I love the writing style, it's fast-paced, witty and downright hilarious in places, making it a joy to read because you never know what's going to happen next.
I also like the short chapters. There are a lot of chapters, but many of them are no longer than two pages, and many of them are just a paragraph or two. You can read through a chapter in no time at all.
What I Dislike: Like the first book, this one is entertaining, very readable, and conveys a good message. But, if you haven't read the first book, you might be confused about the references to The Author and the Book Room.
Overall Rating: Very good.
Age Appeal: 9-12.
ValerieBC, CanadaAge: 45-54Gender: female5 Stars Out Of 5Fun for a TweenJanuary 6, 2012ValerieBC, CanadaAge: 45-54Gender: femaleQuality: 5Value: 5Meets Expectations: 5This review was written for #2: Jackson Jones: The Tale of a Boy, a Troll, and a Rather Large Chicken.Strange things happen to Jackson Jones, age ten-and-a-half. In his first adventure, he got lost in Great Aunt Harriet's hair. More recently, a big umbrella and a bigger wind propelled him to a very strange-and yes, BIG-tree. So big it has an elevator with an operator, Sir Shaw. Jackson only wants to go home, but instead finds himself in a series of adventures on the various branches of the tree where he keeps running into the troll Stimple, Keeper of the Tree, who has random half-rotten food stored in his beard in case he wants a snack.
Jackson meets Burt, a girl elf who's more than a little OCD. She takes care of the garden, and she's certain the only way the Author will like her is if she does a perfect job. Which means Jackson may not sit on the chairs in the gazebo or do more than look at anything at all. In fact, Burt says the Author will love Jackson more if he cleans up a little, and sends him to Miss Pottle, a rather large chicken (see the title of the book) who runs the Tree's beauty shop and wears an excessive amount of make-up.
As you can see, Jackson learns a few important lessons about his relationship with the Author before he finds his way back home. Jackson Jones: The Tale of a Boy, a Troll, and a Rather Large Chicken is told in captivating language sure to keep the middle grade reader spell-bound, and the younger child enthralled to be read to. The author (not to be confused with the Author) keeps the story flowing with a breezy, humorous voice and very short chapters (89 of them!) titled intriguing names such as Chapter 32: In Which Burt Shrieks a Lot. You'd Better Cover Your Ears.

I have a question similar to the one discussed here Concatenating dictionaries of numpy arrays (avoiding manual loops if possible)
I am looking for a way to concatenate the values in two python dictionaries that contain numpy arrays of arbitrary size whilst avoiding having to manually loop over the dictionary keys. For example:
import numpy as np
# Create first dictionary
n1 = 3
s = np.random.randint(1,101,n1)
n2 = 2
r = np.random.rand(n2)
d = {"r":r,"s":s}
print "d = ",d
# Create second dictionary
n3 = 1
s = np.random.randint(1,101,n3)
n4 = 3
r = np.random.rand(n4)
d2 = {"r":r,"s":s}
print "d2 = ",d2
# Some operation to combine the two dictionaries...
d = SomeOperation(d,d2)
# Updated dictionary
print "d3 = ",d
to give the output
>> d = {'s': array([75, 25, 88]), 'r': array([ 0.1021227 , 0.99454874])}
>> d2 = {'s': array([78]), 'r': array([ 0.27610587, 0.57037473, 0.59876391])}
>> d3 = {'s': array([75, 25, 88, 78]), 'r': array([ 0.1021227 , 0.99454874, 0.27610587, 0.57037473, 0.59876391])}
i.e. so that if the key already exists, the numpy array stored under that key is appended to.
The solution proposed in the previous discussion using the package pandas does not work as it requires arrays having the same length (n1=n2 and n3=n4).
Does anybody know the best way to do this, whilst minimising the use of slow, manual
for loops? (I would like to avoid loops because the dictionaries I would like to combine could have hundreds of keys).
Thanks (also to "Aim" for formulating a very clear question)!

Researchers Now Have a Myriad of...
Clinical-Style Validation, Regulation, and Quality Control...
Co-Sourcing Improves Pharmaceutical Laboratory Productivity
Capitol Hill Critics Second-Guess Agencies Using...
Amunix Operating said today its eight-month-old research collaboration and licensing agreement with Johnson & Johnson's Janssen Biotech unit will expand now that an option has been exercised for the development of an additional therapeutic molecule that Janssen will select. Amunix will combine its XTEN half-life technology with the molecule.
Janssen will be responsible for all preclinical and clinical development as well as commercialization of the product. Amunix will receive an option payment in addition to research funding and will be eligible for future milestone and royalty payments. Payment amounts and other financial terms were not disclosed.
Amunix' half-life extension technology is based on XTEN, hydrophilic, unstructured, biodegradable polypeptides that can be recombinantly fused or chemically conjugated to peptides, proteins, and other pharmaceuticals. XTEN imparts favorable properties upon the molecules to which it is attached, including lower dosing frequency and more stable plasma drug concentrations.
Two genetically-fused XTENylated products, VRS-859 (Exenatide-XTEN) and VRS-317 (hGH-XTEN) have completed Phase Ia studies through partners Diartis and Versartis, respectively. VRS-317 is now undergoing a Phase Ib/IIa trial in pediatric growth hormone deficient patients.
Amunix and Janssen entered into their collaboration in January. At the time, Amunix said it would assist Janssen in engineering up to three XTEN fusion proteins, in return for Janssen overseeing all preclinical and clinical development as well as manufacturing and commercialization of the resulting products. Under their original agreement, Amunix received an undisclosed initial upfront payment in addition to R&D funding, and was eligible for future milestone and royalty payments.
"Amunix continues to advance its XTEN half-life extension platform and remains focused on its application in advancing therapeutics," Volker Schellenberger, Ph.D., Amunix president and CEO, said in a statement. "We are very pleased with the progress of our collaboration with Janssen."
Amunix is also working with Biogen Idec in hemophilia, and with several other undisclosed partners in various other therapeutic areas.

12th annual Tulip Extravaganza planned for April
Published: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 5:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, March 18, 2014 at 5:12 p.m.
In the next few weeks, tulips will start blooming along Main Street in Hendersonville, leading up to the 12th annual Tulip Extravaganza. Eight thousand to 10,000 bulbs are planted each year to bring color to Main Street.
The Tulip Extravaganza, organized by Narnia Studios owner Barbara Hughes, is scheduled for April 1-30, which includes the week of Passover and Easter. Many shops will hold an annual "spring cleaning" sidewalk sale April 11 and 12 during the height of the spring color. Downtown businesses hope residents will bring their out-of-town guests for a colorful month of shopping and dining.
"They are actually right on schedule," Hughes said of the tulips. "They couldn't help it. They had a rough life this winter, but the last couple of weeks were seasonably warm."
"The bulbs we planted in the fall should be in full bloom the second and third week of April," said Master Gardener Scott Johnson. "Lots of tulip leaves are already poking through the flower beds."
The deadline to enter the annual tulip photo contest is April 26, with winners announced April 30. All photos entered must be taken in downtown Hendersonville.
The Easter Bonnet Promenade will be held at 11 a.m. Saturday, April 19 on Main Street. This year, the contest will judge the best hat in two categories: ages 14 and younger and older folks. Winners are given a basket from Narnia.
"Wear your finest or 'funnest' hat and join in. The hats are voted on and prizes awarded," Hughes explained.

Crunch Time for Franco-German Relations
Decisions taken over the coming week will define Europe's destiny for generations.
For the past 60 years, the European Union in its various guises has helped to ensure peace and prosperity. Central to this project has been the relationship between France and Germany: the creation of the European Coal and Steel Community in 1956, which began this process of integration, was designed to bring to an end to nearly 100 years of Franco-German conflict that had seen Paris twice occupied by Germany and Germany brought to its knees by the Treaty of Versailles in the wake of World War I.
Now the euro crisis is putting new strain on the relationship. Unless France and Germany can find a way to resolve those differences over the next few days, both the euro and the European Union itself could start to unravel—a terrifying prospect.
For the past year, tensions between France and Germany have hampered a decisive response to the euro crisis. At issue is who should bear the ultimate losses should a euro-zone government become insolvent. Germany believes those losses should be borne by euro-zone government bondholders, bank shareholders and the citizens of the countries that ran up the debts. France argues the damage to euro-zone credibility from failing to stand behind its governments and banks will ultimately cost taxpayers far more than supporting them with bailouts and liquidity facilities, including access to the unlimited firepower of the European Central Bank's balance sheet. The situation is complicated by the ECB itself, which agrees with France that sovereign defaults will trigger contagion and slump, but concurs with Germany that providing profligate governments with a blank check will fuel moral hazard.
For much of the past two years, the two countries have tried to sidestep providing a decisive answer to the question of who would ultimately bear the losses, resorting instead to a series of fudges. Germany agreed to bailouts for Greece, Portugal and Ireland, and France accepted they should be conditional on harsh austerity packages. The official line was that these countries were suffering liquidity, not solvency, crises; that way any decision on who should bear losses could be postponed until the rest of the euro zone's finances were in better shape and able to absorb the impact.
But this strategy has been blown out of the water. First, the markets didn't play ball: the July 21 deal that imposed "voluntary" 21% haircuts on holders of Greek government bonds appeared to confirm investors' fears that they would bear the costs of the euro crisis. The result has been an institutional run on the entire European banking system, first by U.S. money-market funds, then by long-term bond investors. This has left the euro zone facing a severe credit crunch that threatens to tip the continent back into recession, worsening its sovereign debt crisis. European banks have €1.7 trillion ($2.36 trillion) of debt maturing in the next three years; there is very little chance of the bond markets reopening while doubts remain over sovereign debt.
Second, Greece's economy has performed far worse than anyone expected. Whether because of Greek noncompliance with its bailout package, or because the austerity plan was badly designed, or the austerity was simply too severe, the economy is now in a desperate state: Greece's debt-to-GDP ratio is expected to peak at 186%, according to a European Commission report, and could reach as high as 200%. If bondholder haircuts remained unchanged at 21%, it estimates Greece would need a €450 bailout to fund it until 2020. Even if bondholder haircuts were increased to 60%, Greece would still need a €109 billion bailout and its debt-to-GDP ratio would still be an eye-watering 110% in 2020. To restore Greek debt to sustainable levels, all its creditors—both private- and public-sector—would need to accept losses. A coercive deal that triggered credit-default swaps would worsen contagion; there are an estimated €79 billion of gross outstanding CDS on Greek debt.
But if this is the moment of truth for the euro zone, which will prevail: Germany or France? Both claim the moral high ground. Germany argues that socializing the costs of the crisis—whether through further bailouts, ECB liquidity support to governments and banks, or debt forgiveness—will reward irresponsible governments, creating moral hazard. Besides, European treaties forbid ECB financing of government debt and the bailing out of countries. And as the euro zone's richest member, Germany is only too aware France's approach would require German taxpayers to pickup the lion's share of the costs of the bailouts; France's approach also appears self-serving, since its banks are among the most highly leveraged and most heavily exposed to euro-zone debt.
But France rightly argues the crisis has exposed severe shortcomings in the euro-zone framework and that, in a highly interlinked currency union, there is no way to ring-fence the problems of one member state without marshalling the full resources of the bloc. Simply recapitalizing the banks isn't sufficient; there is no realistic amount of capital that would reassure markets the euro-zone banking system could withstand an Italian default. Only the ECB can remove the uncertainty over the euro zone's commitment to support its struggling sovereigns and banks. That may carry the risk of moral hazard, but there is nothing moral about triggering a global depression.
From the market's perspective, a French victory would clearly be the best outcome. But this seems unlikely since, even if Germany relented, the ECB doesn't want to put its balance sheet at risk. Worst would be a disorderly Greek default without a massive bank recapitalization and increase in bailout facilities. Instead, what euro-zone leaders appear to be inching toward is yet another fudge: a Greek deal that avoids default but still falls short of putting debt on a sustainable basis; a bank recapitalization that's not sufficient to withstand multiple defaults and an expanded bailout fund that isn't big enough to restore the confidence of sovereign and bank debt markets. That would send a worrying signal that the rift between Germany and France hasn't been mended. And the longer they leave it, the wider it is sure to grow.

Located in the Aegean Sea is the stunning island of Tilos. Here, you will find interesting buildings from history, such as the Monastery of Áyios Pandeleímon who is patron saint of the island. Kharkhadió Cave on the west of the island is also very historically interesting since bones of dwarf elephants and Neolithic objects were found here. In Megalo Horio, you will find an Elephant Museum which shows these bones to the public. These days, Mikro Horio is deserted, but its old buildings still remain and the village is very atmospheric to walk around. If you are looking for a lovely beach to relax on during your journey, Eristos beach is very beautiful and remains relatively unspoiled and on the far end it is used as a nudist beach.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

The British royal family's clothing choices made sailor suits so popular for boys in the early 20th century.
Western wear became hip across the country thanks to the mass appeal of such shows as "Davy Crockett."
Those influences are clear and will be among the clothing trends explored in "Frocks and Togs: Children's Textiles," a new exhibition opening Saturday at Panhandle-Plains Historical Museum in Canyon.
But the show also will explore a clothing mystery: Why pink and blue became associated with girls and boys, respectively.
In fact, the exhibition shows that originally, those colors were reversed.
"It just switched, and nobody really knows why," said Monica Shaffer, PPHM assistant registrar.
"But there's a woman working on a book on that."
The exhibition will avoid specifically assigning genders to the children and clothing featured in the exhibition.
"We want you to think, 'Is this a boy or a girl?'" Shaffer said.

Top life lessons learned from The Sandlot
YOU GUYS. Read that last part again and explain why you don't have your tickets yet.
When the Sandlot gang comes face to face with their arch rivals, big man Ham goes insult-for-insult with some spoiled dickbag named Phillips. After some intense slams, including "butt sniffer" and "scab eater," Ham nails him with the death blow: challenging Phillips's baseball skills by comparing him to a female. This statement will win you pretty much any argument, either at work, home, or even in government. Use it wisely.
2. Faking your own death is the ultimate way to score chicks
In the classic "nerd loves girl" scene, our man Squints fakes his own pseudo-death in a pool, as a clever ploy to suck face with certified hot chick (and top-notch lifeguard) Wendy Peffercorn. Is it sleazy as hell? Yes. Could it technically be considered assault? Maybe. But did it give hope to generations of nerdy dudes hoping to make out with hot lifeguards? Goddamn right. God bless you, Squints. Keep lotioning and oiling.
This is the only way to make a s'more. Pay attention.

Victorian pioneers of the marine aquarium
When we talk about the history of the marine aquarium, we often praise people such as Lee Chin Eng, Peter Wilkens and Jean Jaubert, who did pioneering work in the 20th century. Their innovations and vision helped give rise to the popular marine aquarium hobby we know today. What few people know, however, is that Victorian England saw an aquarium craze 165 years ago, when much ground-breaking work was done. Some of the pioneers of the marine aquarium from that time are George Johnston, Robert Warington, Anna Thynne, William Lloyd and Philip Henry Gosse. In this article, I will detail their work, including the trials and tribulations, which represents some of the early attempts to maintain a balanced marine aquarium.

Feature Article: Experimental aquaculture of Dendronephthya corals
Back in 2005 I first read about Dendronephthya corals, notorious for being difficult to maintain in aquaria. Lacking zooxanthellae, these corals require plankton to stay healthy. In the following years, I read up on the scientific literature, and toyed with the idea of setting up an aquarium specifically designed for Dendronephthya. This led to the launch of a crowd funding project on Indiegogo, to acquire funds for the development of a culture protocol for Dendronephthya corals. Although insufficient funds were gathered to fully develop an aquaculture system and culture protocol, two preliminary experiments were conducted. In this article, I will present the results of these experiments, and provide future directions for research. This may help aquarists to keep pushing the frontier of coral husbandry and aquaculture.

Sixteen names remain in this year's Celebrate Youth Scholarship Contest after potential winners were narrowed from 32 in a drawing Thursday night.
The third of five drawings took place during the Best of Amarillo celebration at the Amarillo Civic Center's Heritage Ballroom.
The annual scholarship contest is part of the yearlong Celebrate Youth program to recognize local youths. Almost $15,000 in savings bonds that will go toward college tuition will be awarded this year to eight participants.
"Our youth and students today will be the leaders in the future," said Joanne Gosselin, general manager of the Amarillo Globe-News, a sponsor of the drawing.
"It's so important to recognize their contributions and encourage them, and that's what this program is about," she said.
In the end, four children each will win a $100 savings bond; two will receive a $1,000 savings bond; one child will receive a $2,500 savings bond; and the final winner will receive a $10,000 savings bond to go toward college tuition.
The next drawing, scheduled for 5 p.m. Thursday at the Continental Retirement Center, 1300 S. Jackson St., will determine the eight finalists who will receive the savings bonds. The Nov. 9 drawing will determine the amount each finalist will receive.
The scholarship was created by 10 community businesses to further education for children. Only children ages 5 to 8 are eligible.
Drawing participants do not have to be present to win.
