http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/-CEkxw==.jpgDemo Dick 75 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Complete the game on Elites difficulty.
Okay firstly, the difficulty achievements do not stack so you will be playing through 3 times to net them all, i recommend playing through on Elites first. It is really not very hard just take cover and always use grenades when facing a large group. Never run in as the aiming in this game is so bad you will never react in time.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/-LjdCA==.jpgDOY 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Complete mission 8 on any difficulty.
As you can no doubt tell, each of these are awarded at the end of each level, there are 8 in total and they are not very long. No explanation really needed here.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/+Ro28Q==.jpgDouble Tap30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Complete an entire mission using only the pistol. (Single Player)
Just as it says, complete any mission using only the pistol. I recommend doing this on the very first mission as it is not long or hard at all. You CAN NOT use kill moves or grenades!
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/+PrOYg==.jpgGetting Your Gun Off30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill at least one enemy with every weapon in the game. (Single Player)
These carry through each playthrough.
Mission - SNAFU
All of these weapons are dropped by enemies frequently. Sap9- Starting weapon
Sm5 - starting weapon
Knife (kill move)
Type 97-1
Dragunov (you will come to a building where you fast rope down for the first time, before you do there is a Dragunov laying on the table to the right.
Mission 3 - GNBN
Spas 12 (you will come to an area with this lying on a shelf, its impossible to miss)
Ar 4( in the harbour area, at the beginning make your way to the left and you will see a group of enemies burst out of a building, kill them then enter the building to find this lying on a gun shelf)
GM-94 (Its located in the harbour area when you first get attacked by people on the ship, its to the right as you walk around the corner to said ship, lying on an ammo box)
Mission 5 - FUBAR
TT-33 ( after passing over the bridge you will enter a small building to continue, it is lying next to the exit on some ammo boxes. Again, impossible to miss.
Note the majority of these weapons can be located throughout the game, this is just the first place you will find each weapon.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/+tvH1w==.jpgFrag Out!25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 20 enemies using grenades. (Single Player)
You should get this way before the end of your first playthrough if you use them frequently, another quick was is once you start to exit the courtyard on the first level, 4 enemies should burst down the door if you can get it right you can get all 4 with 1, simply press start and reload your checkpoint. Rinse and repeat.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/UP59Vq4=.jpgNow THIS Is A Knife30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 30 enemies using kill moves. (Single Player)
Very easy to do, simply get close to an enemy and press a, you will go into an animation in which you kill the enemy in various ways, there are always alot of easy kills at the beginning of each level as they are not alert of your pressence.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/UP+drj0=.jpgNever Knew What Hit Them20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 50 unalerted enemies. (Single Player)
An unalerted enemy is an enemy that on your radar is pointed out by a green icon, yellow and red do not count. At the beginning of each level you can usually get around 4-5 easy unalerted kills by using a quick kill move, or shooting them in the head with a silenced pistol.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/UP28p4g=.jpgImprov25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 20 enemies using explosive objects. (Single Player)
Explosive objects are mostly red, Gas cans, Fuel tanks and Explosive barrels, simply wait for enemies to go near them and shoot the object and it should kill the enemy. The last mission has a ton of explosive barrels scattered throughout the level.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/UPxcXxs=.jpgGuns Don't Kill People, SEALs Do25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 30 enemies using sniper rifles. (Single Player)
The Druganov is in mostly all the levels, simply kill 30 people, nothing else to it, a good place is the first level just before you get to the courtyard you go through a building with one in, simply take it and kill everyone in the courtyard and then the 4 who bust down the door. Reload your checkpoint and repeat.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPn+tOI=.jpgSupressing Fire25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 20 enemies using blindfire. (Single Player)
When in cover simply hold the right trigger on its own and you will blindfire, on the easier difficulty's run right up to a piece of cover with an enemy behind and fire away. The accuracy with it is terrible as expected so make sure you are close!
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPgeTHE=.jpgAre These Guys For Real?30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 50 Spetznaz. (Single Player)
Spetznaz are the soldiers with balaclavas and/or helmets, they will burst out of a room or fast rope into your location, kill 50 of these and the achievement is yours. There is way more than 50 before the end of the game.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPo-RcQ=.jpgHealth And Safety25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Blow up 20 fire extinguishers. (Single Player)
These can be found on walls around the different levels, there is way more than 20 throughout the game. A quick way to get this is load up mission 7 *KATN* and work your way through the level. You should reach a room about half way which has 3 soldiers in it, one of which is bending down fixing a box on the wall. There are 5 fire extinguishers located in this room, proceed to shoot them all then reload the checkpoint and you should start just before the room.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPvfvVc=.jpgMigraine Breaker50 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 50 enemies with head shots. (Single Player)
Alot of the time you will get head shots without knowing, and you can just aim your shots, for a few easy headshots in each level, when you first start there will be guards unaware of you so just walk around poping them.
Another place, credit goes to ThingontheFloor
In the first mission *SNAFU* you will come to a courtyard and after dealing with the enemies in there a group of 4 will break down the door. Time your throw correctly and you can get all 4 of them easily. This is also pretty easy to do throughout most of the missions but obviously this is the best place.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPkYUco=.jpgDick Would Be Proud35 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Complete a mission without dying. (Single Player)
Play the first mission *SNAFU* on recruits and try to get as many kills with out alerting the guards, on the easiest difficulty this really should not be a problem, just take cover whenever you can to avoid death.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPqmvAs=.jpgMilitary Budget30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 5 enemies with an assault rifle without reloading or changing weapons. (Single Player)
Head shots are the key! The best way is to find an area with 5 or more guards, take cover and try to pop out and just tap the trigger to not waste ammo. A place i did it was after the room i mentioned in *Health and Safety* there are walkways with lots of soldiers and lots of cover for you.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPiHtb4=.jpgCome Get Some!20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 5 enemies with a shotgun without reloading or changing weapons. (Single Player)
Same as above, and you will be surprised how long the shotguns range is, just take your time. Only difference here is you have to kill a soldier with every shot as the shotgun only holds 5. For a bit more room for mistakes, use the spas 12 as it holds 8.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPlnTS0=.jpgNinja20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Perform 3 Kill moves in a row. (Single Player)
Extremely easy to do in the first mission right at the start, just run up to a soldier and hit a, you will perform a kill move, repeat 2 more times.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPzFptQ=.jpgCurb-Stomper20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Perform 5 Finishing moves. (Single Player)
You firstly must make an enemy fall to the ground, they will still shoot you in a last stand position. Once you run up to them it will give you the option to do a "finishing move". The best way to drop an enemy into this position is with the ak74 (ak47) fire a few shots into their chest and they should fall.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UP0lXkc=.jpgChop-shop20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Destroy 10 vehicles. (Single Player)
To destroy a vehicle, shoot it several times and it will start to flame followed by an explosion. An easy place to do this is near the end of mission 6 *HUMINT* you will go into a sort of car park area with plenty of vehicles, stay near the back and just unload on them then restart from checkpoint and repeat untill you have it.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UP8EV-I=.jpgOver The Top5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Throw an enemy over a ledge. (Single Player)
You will get many opportunity's to do this, the first is in the very first mission when you enter a building and upstairs there is a soldier next to a Dragunov. If you are quick run right up to him and press A, if he is near enough to the window you will throw him out.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/UPxvZgc=.jpgNot The Face 5 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Smash an enemy's face into a wall. (Single Player)
Again, on the first level you will run into a small square outpost type building with a guard inside, he will be right next to the wall and when you press a to perform a kill move you should slam his face into the wall killing him.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/UP2PnpQ=.jpgFresh Off The Boat 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Play online once. (Multiplayer)
Mode and whether its ranked do not affect this, just play any game online and complete it and you will unlock this.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/i...8/UP+ulyE=.jpgTHREATCON 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Place first in a Ranked Deathmatch game. (Multiplayer)
*MUST BE RANKED* Find a death match game and just do your best, the game is pretty terrible online and your best bet is you run around trying to hit people with kill moves, or just find a good spot and camp.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UP5Ob7I=.jpgSpec Warrior 15 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 3 people in a row. (Multiplayer)
Can be ranked or player just kill 3 people in a row there is no time limit in between each kill so just take your time and try not to die. Should not be to hard.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPvshEs=.jpgSEAL Team Six 10 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Play a Team Deathmatch to completion with at least 3 friends on your team. (Multiplayer)
See *friendship is for suckers*
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPoMfNg=.jpgSmack The Rogue 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Come first in 10 Ranked Deathmatch games. (Multiplayer)
Just as the title says. Must be ranked, just find a good strategy and stick to it. They do not have to be consecutive just 10.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPgtdW0=.jpgFriendship Is For Suckers 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill someone on your friends list. (Multiplayer)
You can do all the friend achievements in a custom game, just simply invite them to your game, do a kill move on them for 2 achievements. If you have 3 other friends simply play a custom game, any mode and complete it for another easy achievement.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPnNjf4=.jpgKeep Your Friends Close ...20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Perform a kill move on a friend. (Multiplayer)

Can be ranked or player, just play and complete 50 games of any game type. I suggest you work towards winning on each map whilst doing this.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPsKYWM=.jpgFrom Beyond The Grave 20 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - An enemy dies from your grenade … after you have been killed. (Multiplayer)
Basically whenever you see someone throw a grenade whilst they are shooting you and hope you die before it explodes and kills them, keep trying and it will eventually happen. Can also be done with a friend in a custom game.
http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UPi0jKI=.jpgPOTUS 25 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Place first in a Ranked Team Deathmatch. (Multiplayer)
Same as *THREATCON* but must be Team Deathmatch, try your best and hope you get good team mates.

http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f...8/UP83bu4=.jpgOne Man Army 30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Kill 200 enemies. (Multiplayer)
Will take some time, simply kill 200 enemies across all multiplayer modes, ranked or player. You can boost this with friends to make it go quicker. If you are doing it normally i would recommend deathmatch over team deathmatch
I got "Getting your gun off" achievement so it's not glitched :)
EDIT: found what i was missing and updated the full list of weapons.
And for the last achievement you have to kill 200 people not 2000 :)
Double Tap30 http://www.xbox360achievements.org/f.../site/gp-g.jpg - Complete an entire mission using only the pistol. (Single Player)
you have to use ONLY the pistol throug a level to kill the guards, no grenades or brutal kill with the knife are allowed.
pretty essy anyway.
I heard this game blows monkey balls? is this true.
Just got the game but its not too bad but playing it three times is messed up =(
this game is way better than shellshock 2. one, because its funnier, even though its like the F word every second, the timing is just hilarious. and 2, it has online. havent tried it, but still.
second question, for the one where you have to get a kill with each weapon. does it have to be in one playthrough? or can i load up another difficulty and just find the gun i need to use?
I couldn't get it with the tip above because it was just 3 guys that came out, and one guy that was in the back that I could never hit.
Thanks for the guide though, fairly simple (and thankfully short) singleplayer, and too many multiplayer achievements for how bad it is. But still appreciated.
questionon the kill 50 un-alerted. Say my 1st playthru I killed 40... can I just redo the 1st mission and get like 5, then redo it again?
Or does it have to be all done in 1 playthru with no go backs?
Thanks in advance
Ok i just had the most kills in a ranked team death yet I did not get the achievement, OMG this game is so terrible
EDIT: Ok i just played another TD didnt get the most kills but got the achievement WTF
thats very boring/easy achievements... I played and I hated it ;/
Nice guide came in very useful. One comment i will make is about your 6/10 difficulty rating in the roadmap. Are u serious? The game is literally less than 2 hours long even on the hardest difficulty! You can take a good few bullets even on hard and the checkpoint/health system is more than generous. Seriously this should be a 2 or a 3 for difficulty. The hardest part of this game is finding the patience to deal with the online lag.
Sweet Guide!!:locked
Just won 10 ranked deathmatch games.... no achievement. glitched?
also, i finnished 1 random online game, and i got the achievements for beat level 3 and compelte a level without dying. even though i have not played 1 single player mission yet.
The Single Player Achievements remind me of Shellshock 2.
could someone please make a video for the gang bang achievement because im rely struggling onit ?

The band plays a style of rock-n-roll that blends Nirvana, BRMC, Band of Skulls and even a bit of Refused. They regularly play the East Coast and Mid-West in support of their EP "Amnesia", which has included opening for Bad Religion at Milwaukee's Summerfest in 2013. Singer/guitarist Brandon Zano and drummer Stephen Nicholson have played together in This Is A Shakedown, Dozen Dead Roses and Leo. Lead guitarist/vocalist Matt Jauch has been in Chalkline, Solo Flyer, Boatzz and Stimulus Package. Bass player Paul Bartholet comes from the Akron, OH stoner rock group Sofa King Killer. He replaced original bass player Caitlin Dorney in May of 2014. The band will begin tracking their debut long player in January 2015 with Ben Vehorn (Royal Bangs, Drummer, Houseguest).

I found out that the plugin sets the wrong folder as plugin-folder in some cases, when installing it as mu-plugin.
I solved it by changing line 61 in simple-fields.php. I have tried to install it both as normal plugin and as a mu-plugin, and it seems to work.. *touch on wood*
Here is the new line 61
define( "SIMPLE_FIELDS_URL", plugin_dir_url( __FILE__ ));
Maybe a thing to change in the next release?
Tack o hej!

It is well established that antagonistic genotype by environment interactions for fitness can create adaptive spatial variation, where different genotypes are favored under different environmental conditions (Merila and Crnokrak 2001; Kawecki and Ebert 2004; Leinonen et al. 2008, 2013). Since the potential of populations to adapt to specific conditions carries strong implications for nature conservation and our understanding of evolutionary patterns, the quantification of local adaptation has become an important task in biological research.
Local adaptation may, however, be inferred in several ways, one of the most widely used being reciprocal translocation studies, where different populations are reared in a reciprocal manner in their locations of origin (Hereford 2009). Antagonistic patterns in the performance of different populations across environments and, especially, populations performing best in their native environment are inferred to reflect local adaptation (Kawecki and Ebert 2004; Hereford 2009). Although an efficient method for studying local adaptation, translocation studies suffer from two logistic shortcomings. First, it is often difficult to rear organisms originating from multiple populations under natural "common garden" conditions. This is especially the case in freely moving organisms. Second, since the objective is to examine antagonistic patterns of fitness of different genotypes across environments, it is crucial to have a correct measure of fitness. As fitness is a composite trait, its correct estimation is not a simple task (Shaw et al. 2008). Indeed, traits closely linked to fitness, such as survival or reproductive success, are likely to be involved in trade-offs with other fitness-related traits (De Jong and Van Noordwijk 1992; Reznick et al. 2000). Consequently, the inference of local adaptation is highly dependent on how fitness is estimated.
The above complications have led to the development of alternative ways to examine presence of local adaptation based on comparing observed genetic divergence in traits of interest to a scenario of neutral divergence. One such a methodology is QST–FST comparison (Spitze 1993), where neutral genetic divergence as estimated from neutral molecular markers (FST) is compared to the divergence in a quantitative trait (QST). QST is estimated as follows:
where σ2AB is the additive genetic variance component explained by population differences, whereas σ2AW is the within-population genetic variation of the trait. If QST << FST, stabilizing selection is inferred, if QST >> FST divergent selection is inferred, and if QST and FST are of the same magnitude, the trait under study is assumed to have evolved in a neutral manner.
In order to obtain reliable estimates of genetic variances for populations, it is crucial that the traits are recorded under common conditions, that is, when the populations compared are exposed to the same environment, since environmental effects may inflate variation in trait divergence (Pujol et al. 2008; Alho et al. 2010, 2011). In a similar vein, the estimation of genetic variances often requires controlled environmental conditions (Weigensberg and Roff 1996). Consequently, the vast majority of the studies using QST–FST comparisons to infer local adaptations have been conducted in laboratory conditions (Leinonen et al. 2008; Pujol et al. 2008). If the intention of the study is to infer local adaptation as it would appear under natural conditions, these preconditions make the strong assumption that there are no population × environment interactions in the focal trait. Although the inference for local adaptation via QST can be influenced by variation in experimental conditions (e.g., Richter-Boix et al. 2010; Hangartner et al. 2012), few studies have examined the presence of local adaptation using both translocation experiments and QST–FST comparisons, where the assumption of no population × environment interactions can be tested. Such interactions are also important from an evolutionary perspective, as the speed at which an evolutionary response may precede is likely to be dependent on the amount of plasticity of the trait (Price et al. 2003). In cases where the genetic effects are overridden by plastic responses to different environments, plasticity may impede an evolutionary response (e.g., Price et al. 2003; West-Eberhard 2003), suggesting that plasticity may play a key role at early stages of divergence. However, the relative amount of variation in fitness traits explained by environmental versus genetic effects under natural conditions has remained an unexplored topic in evolutionary biology.
This question is especially relevant in managed systems like salmonid fish populations, where individuals from foreign populations have frequently been introduced into native populations. If genotypes of different origin are highly plastic, we may expect that there is only weak or no selection against nonadapted (foreign) genotypes. On the other hand, if phenotypic variation is mainly genetic, we may expect that natural selection is acting directly on genetic variance and that nonadapted genotypes will be selected against. Sea-run brown trout (Salmo trutta) is commonly managed by sea-ranching, where breeding fish are caught from the wild, the offspring are reared in a hatchery and subsequently released into the wild at the smolt stage, when juvenile salmonids migrate to the sea (e.g., Petersson et al. 1996). The hatchery conditions differ strongly from the species' natural habitats, and adaptive divergence, where hatchery populations of the brown trout have higher growth rates than wild populations has been demonstrated (e.g., Rogell et al. 2012). In addition, genetic selection gradients for larger body size were very steep for wild trout populations reared in hatchery environments, indicating that body size is strongly genetically correlated with a causal trait upon which hatchery selection is acting (Rogell et al., unpubl. ms.). This is not surprising, since growth rate and body size frequently vary across environmental clines. Body size is often closely associated with fitness, and a large body size generally incurs higher reproductive capacity and competitive ability (Arendt 1997; Dmitriew 2011). However, the fact that many populations express submaximal growth rates is generally explained by costs of high growth in terms of a higher sensitivity to predators and environmental stress (Arendt 1997; Dmitriew 2011). For example, adaptive divergence in intrinsic growth rates in amphibians has been found across gradients of latitudinal climatic variation (Palo et al. 2004) and environmental stress (Rogell et al. 2009; Hangartner et al. 2012). Thus, the fast-growing hatchery populations are likely to be more competitively dominant/aggressive, but they are also likely to exhibit a more risk-taking behavior, which makes them more exposed to predation in the wild (Biro et al. 2004; Sundström et al. 2004).
Here, we examine the consistency of local adaptation across a range of environmental conditions, as well as the amount of phenotypic variance explained by population and environment, in a large-scale experiment conducted during two successive years. In a previous study, we reared several sea-run brown trout populations over the first growth season under controlled hatchery conditions and in a semi-natural experimental stream, respectively, to assess within- and among population variation, and to estimate QST for body size and survival (Rogell et al. 2012). Microsatellite markers were used to estimate neutral genetic differentiation (FST) between the study populations and to determine population and family origin of the experimental fish (Rogell et al. 2012). In a parallel study reported in this article, all parental crosses from all populations were stocked into natural streams devoid of trout, located close to the native streams of the focal populations. This allowed us to compare trait values of different populations in a semi-reciprocal manner.
The objectives of this study were (i) to investigate if adaptive patterns of brown trout life-history traits are consistent across stream environments and (ii) to assess the importance of population origin and rearing environment on growth and survival. Since our previous results showed that reaction norms in trout body size and survival across hatchery and experimental stream conditions were parallel (Rogell et al. 2012), we expected population × rearing environment interactions on size to be rather small, which would indicate that adaptive patterns of brown trout life-history traits are consistent across stream environments. Predictions for survival differ, however, since a trade-off between growth rate and survival can be assumed. As captive hatchery conditions lack predators, we expected the hatchery populations to have a stronger competitive ability in the experimental stream free from predatory fish. On the other hand, as fish predators are present in the natural streams, we expected hatchery trout to be more adversely affected by predation than their wild conspecifics in those environments. As we have no prior expectations, due to lack of previous studies, of how much variation in life-history traits that are explained by adaptive divergence versus plastic processes we assessed the importance of population origin and rearing environments on body size. We note that a stronger genetic than plastic component would allow a more efficient selection against nonnative genotypes.

No Injuries from School Bus Accident in Rural Kell
9/24/2013 @ 2:13 PMMarion County Sheriff's Deputies say no one was injured when a car ran into the rear of a Raccoon Grade School bus stopped at the railroad crossing on the Carter Road in rural Kell Monday afternoon.
Reports indicate the driver of the car, 31-year-old Jeremiah Lawrence of County Farm Road in rural Kell, had stopped behind the bus. However, he told deputies for an unknown reason his car lurched forward with the front part of his vehicle running under the rear of the bus. Bus driver, 69-year-old Kenneth Hawkins of State Route 161 in Centralia, had ten students on the bus at the time. The students were all transferred to another bus for the rest of their trip home.
Deputies say the crash damaged the hood of Lawrence's car, but caused no apparent damage to the bus. The crash occurred at 3:32 Monday afternoon.

Money-Saving Tip #2
"As we finished the final details of the gut renovation of our 1930s stone house, we coveted copper switch plates for lights and electrical outlets. But at $25 or more each, the price tag was way over our budget. So I bought cheap metal switch plates from the big-box store and copper foil sheeting from the crafts store and used spray adhesive to affix the sheeting to the plates. My husband even embossed a beautiful fern design on some of them. They are developing a patina that gets richer every day, and we still have enough foil to make 'copper' plates for the entire neighborhood."

Made mine on Trader Joes Asiago/black peppercorn sourdough bread. Also used the Kraft shredded Parm/Romano/Asiago blend (if you haven't tried this it is the best! Fridge section of the market.) Was a nice light supper. I know I will use it again. Thanks!
I made a bread in the bread machine and then I saw your recipe. It looked so good in the photo I had to try it on the fresh bread. I didn't have any italian dressing so I spread creamy ceasar on the bread and topped it with the rest of the ingredients listed. I will try it with italian dressing next time. Very easy and very tasty, thanks for sharing your recipe.
Bruschetta is one of my favourite entrees I order when we dine out at an Italian Restaurant. I made this for lunch today just for me, didn't share it with anyone. It was so quick and easy, also very yummy. Thank you Anme.

My Nonprofit Reviews
Review for Drawchange Inc, Atlanta, GA, USA
Drawchange is a great organization! Unlike many other organizations, you don't just give your time and finances to Drawchange, but rather become a part of it. Drawchange mixes creativity, passion, hope, and service together. I have been searching for years to find an organization where I can use my design skills & creativity to help others, and Drawchange is exactly that. It is important to note that Jennie, founder of Drawchange, really utilizes the volunteers and involves them as much as possible in a variety of events and tasks. I was unable to travel on the Costa Rica service trip this Summer, but Jennie took the time to meet with me, show photos, and share stories. She made me realize that even though I was not present on the trip, the work that I have put in to the organization really did make a difference. Jennie believes that the more people who get involved, the more lives change. Every time I meet with her I leave inspired. She truly loves what she does.

Sports Tony Romo, Jessica Simpson, and Bothell, WA
posted by January 14 at 10:59 AMon
Can we claim a local, vested interest in more than one athletic choke job this weekend? The New York Post thinks so. Their Dallas Cowboys game prank yesterday at Texas Stadium has been making the Internet rounds this morning, and wouldn'tcha know it:
Simpson [as in Jessica, girlfriend of 'Boys QB Tony Romo] didn't show up yesterday, but The Post brought [Lynsey] Nordstrom - a 21-year-old nanny from Bothell, Wash. - to Texas Stadium. We sat her in the third row behind the Dallas bench, and she must have made the difference - Romo's final drive was stopped short of the end zone.
Not just any nanny, of course—a blonde nanny in a pink Tony Romo jersey. An impersonator! The whole idea is that this professional lookalike would wave and wink and cause an uproar, much like the real Jessica did a few weeks back to earn the nickname "Yoko Romo" from sports fans. A repeat distraction would then give Romo a perma-bone and thus impact his play ("Why'd you run to the left, T.O.?" "Cuz that's where you were pointing!"). But here's the problem with this genius plan:
Something tells me that Nordstrom's claim to fame is being the best Jessica Simpson lookalike…in Bothell, WA. Anyone who watched the game knows that the blame rests on many Cowboys variables other than Fake Jess—the no-show by defensive safety Roy Williams, a bunch of overpaid guys letting passes slip through their hands, that stupid motherfucker Roy Williams, and so on. But on the bright side, perhaps we can milk the local girl's 15 minutes and secure her services for a Strangercrombie '08 auction. "Attend a football game with Bothell's Jess!" "Take Bothell's Jess to Aveda!" Oh, the possibilities.

Waterday, 29th Moons, 722
Altaksus celebrated his birthday… An odd humanoid custom.
Airday, 12th Yearsend, 722
Our team has returned to the Halls of Cordaris after some harrowing encounters in the Dungeon, this time taking the traditional Delver's entrance, walking by the Undercity Market and purchasing some last-minute supplies for excavation (Several Picks, a shovel, and other odds and ends that they didn't think about). Walked through the Chamber of Longing (And remarked about how odd of a coincidence it is that there is a Chaos Cult with a Black Hand Symbol, and this giant, stone hand in the room, covered in notes), wandered a few days in the top layers of the Dungeon (Killing minor dungeon denizens, such as giant rats, centipedes, etc…).
Earthday, 14th Yearsend, 722
The most significant encounter here was with a pair of mutated Manticores that were severely weakened by their exposure to a pit of radiation (Altaksus and Nimeliel identified this radiation as a Pit of Insanity, and were very careful not to allow any spellcasting nearby, after what they had learned studying Arcane Magic).
Queensday, 16th Yearsend, 722
Another significant encounter was a few days after this, when they had broken into the cavernous areas of the Dungeon, and encountered a squad of Dwarves, Defending the boarders to their lost city of Dwarvenhearth. Sparrow stepped up to the front here and bargained with the dwarves to request an escort, convincing the wary Dwarves that Dwarvenhearth was not their target, but that an unexplored area of Ghul's Labyrinth was their real goal. Twenty hours of marching later (And one sleep break) our group makes it to the location that Altaksus and the Dwarves agreed would take them to the spot they wished (The dwarves not being aware of the Halls of Cordaris). Sparrow gifted them some alcohol, and they wished each other good luck.
The final stretch of the journey to the Halls of Cordaris was truly within an unexplored (By the Delver's Guild anyway) area of Ghul's Labyrinth. Several hours of slow exploring, checking for traps every step, our group makes it a few hundred feet down the hall, and spot, what appears to be a Lab, with human sized creatures inside of canisters propped up against the wall. Some people on the team really wanted to investigate (Especially the weapons on the tables, which looked like they were being enchanted), and others were dead-set against it. Small arguments broke out here (As exhausted as everyone was, almost at 24 hours of constant activity), until they decided to investigate this after they were done with their Legacy Quest for Raguel. So, everyone swore not to reveal the secrets here, and to keep this claim theirs by way of secrecy.
Our team then follows the ghostly sounds of a marcher in boots to a pair of double doors that it sounded like it walked right through. The impressive double doors were locked and trapped such that Sparrow had to pick the locks on to open (And the traps were monstrous mechanisms set in the walls to quarter people that set it off by way of menacing, enchanted buzz saw blades). This turned out to be an enormous armory filled with medium and heavy armor sized for Orcs (And a few heavy suits for Minotaurs, which intrigued Altaksus, but he was not trained in the use of such heavy armor, but planned to soon be).
After browsing this room, the Seekers of Legacy left by the opposite door in this fifty foot by fifty foot chamber, and encountered another hall, this one with the skittering sounds of large rats. Another one hundred feet in, and our group encounters a brick wall bisecting the hallway, cutting it off. Altaksus swears this is the spot they need to be in, and both he and Elenoora lay in with picks on the wall, tearing it to pieces within a few minutes. Stepping inside, Nimeliel orients the group to her map, and they decide to turn back to camp for the day, as to start exploring the Halls of Cordaris fresh.
Kingsday, 18th Yearsend, 722
The next day, they hear the marching of boots coming down from the hall where they broke into Cordaris, and quickly step out of the chamber, to confront the people they heard. Upon opening the door, they found themselves amidst a horde of orc bodies, slain by the identical trap on this side of the chamber, and another group of orcs was the marching sound that they heard coming up the hall. These orcs cautiously approach the group, standing amidst the carnage of their kin, unscathed and obviously highly capable of slaughtering them in the same way. Begging passage from the Seekers of Legacy, our team flaunts their prowess and gathers what information they could from the tribal orcs. They only knew that they were quitting because this place was the home of a Demon Lord, and Demons had recently swept through here, killing man and orc alike. There were also orc kin here called Urlocks that promised them that their race would have a grand future if they could kill the demon spawn of Cordaris. Deciding that these "Future Orcs" were liars that would kill them all fruitlessly, they have been escaping whenever they could (Whenever the Urlocks were distracted), and these were the last of them. Satisfied that they were telling the truth, The Seekers of Legacy let the orcs go, deeper into the dark labyrinth of Ghul, and stepped into the Halls of Cordaris.
Our team then encountered a few reanimated orcs slain by demon fire (Or so they guessed), and George made short work of them with his ability to call down Divine Turning, destroying the lot of them with a few gestures and his presented Sun Holy symbol. Rounding another few corners, our team came upon a horrid Destrachan with two Lightning Mephits working together. Battle was engaged, spells were tossed, a damaged charging device (That the mephitis were using for Aelectricity to recharge themselves) was broken beyond repair in the room. The destrachan went down rather quicly by grievous wounds inflicted by Elenoora (Nice crit on that Greataxe Steph!). The most memorable scene in this battle was an accidental Fireball misfire by Nimeliel, hitting the door frame instead of launching into the room to blossom as it should (Bad fumble there Jordanna…). The Seekers of Legacy then agreed to be more careful, as they could be their own worst enemy (The firebally damaged everyone more than the destrachans and the mephitis ever did).
Resting a few minutes to regain their grace and skill, our team then pressed on. Moving a few rooms down, when some of them heard two Giants arguing and wishing they had "Man-Meat." The Seekers then quickly concocted a plan to fight the Trolls (As identified by Elenoora). Sienna would go forth, spilling oil across the floor, Nimeliel would cast grease, more oil would be spilled, and Sparrow would fire a flaming arrow, causing the trolls to slip and fall, rolling in flame as they incinerated, unable to stand.
So, Sienna went forth, spilled oil, Sienna heard the trolls sniffing the air and walking to the door. She resolved to quietly continue spilling the oil, now ten feet away from the door, and was amazed as to how long and terrible their arms were. One troll shouted in happy surprise something Sienna could not understand but Elenoora could ("Thank the Hungry God, he has provided us with our utmost wish, Man-Meat is here!)… they reached forth, both grabbing her and rending her twain. Petrified by the sudden violence and raw power of the trolls, our team does nothing but hope that the trolls didn't notice Sienna shout to light the oil now (Apparently the trolls didn't understand Imperial). The only thing our group heard thereafter was the singing of troll songs, and the loud slurping and belching as they ate Sienna raw (Elenoora heard them discussing that this was a better hunting ground than the Midden Heaps).
The quietest amongst the group went forth an hour or so later, and grabbed a chunk of Sienna's flesh, and our team (As quietly as they could), left Cordaris, to retreat back to the trapped armory in Ghul's Labyrinth, to spend the night in contemplation, before going to sleep, our team discussed options on how to solve Sienna's death, and came to the conclusion to Reincarnate her. Nimeliel uses her Dreaming Apocethary coin to special order two scrolls of Reincarnate (In case one of them is miscast, as this would be Altaksus reading the scroll with his skill at magical devices).
Airday, 19th Yearsday, 722
The next day, our team is depleted of most of their treasure, and there are two scrolls by Nimeliel's pillow. They then begin the first scroll, and almost immediately notice the problem, nothing is happening with the chunk of Sienna's flesh. An hour later, there is a bat flying around this chamber, that then settles on a piece of armor, and Nimeliel detects the lingering presence of magic on the animal. Surmising that they just reincarnated some rat or another small animal into this bat, they use the next scroll, and hope for the best. Within a few minutes, the flesh begins moving and growing, and the team then sits and watches what happens. Over the course of an hour, it grows, forming into a new human shape, and just when they believe it should continue growing, it stops and begins finalizing its body, becoming a nude female Halfling.
Tearing apart their sacks that so recently held treasure, the Seekers of Legacy sew crude clothing for the Halfling Sienna. Sienna thanks everyone for her life, and admits that she will do her best in her new shape, but as soon as she is able, she would like to be returned to her Prustan body. As, she is not at all accustomed to being the size of a toddler, and that she isn't sure how effective she will be in her child body. They rest and adjust for the next day, now having spent 3 days here in this armory.
And that is where we ended the session (Actually, this journal counts for two sessions).

hi Debbie-
It may take a while for him to learn to get into doing a project- I'm wondering if he is easily distracted by other things when you are working on projects?
Maybe just let him do the 2 minutes, then do something non craft for a while then go back to the same project?
just an idea :)

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Wild Black Cherries (Prunus serotina) are native to North America and were extensively used by Native Americans for their therapeutic properties. The fruit was eaten fresh or used in cooking applications, and the bark was believed to have astringent properties. Wild Cherries, like many other fruits, are a naturally rich source of flavonoids. They also contain calcium salts, potassium, lignins and beneficial tannins. This vegetarian product is a concentrated 10:1 extract and is one of the highest potencies available.

The Truth About Phobias
Weddings are generally joyous occasions, but not so for Marissa Wolicki, 25, of Toronto, Canada, who reluctantly attended one recently with her boyfriend.
"All of a sudden, the room started to spin. I started to feel really nauseated. My heart went pound-pound-pound-pound. I grabbed my boyfriend's hand and said we had to go. He said, 'We can't go. We're in the middle of a wedding!' He started getting mad at me. People who don't have these attacks don't understand. My legs started to shake. I had a fear of fainting and embarrassing everyone -- a fear I was going to die."
Recommended Related to Anxiety Panic
By Lauren IannottiIt's the most common mental illness in America. One worrywart stares down her (and our) tendency to fret.
Read the The United States of Anxiety article > >
For Wolicki, this was another in a series of attacks brought on by a social phobia, a form of anxiety disorder marked by irrational fears so terrifying they can sometimes lead a person to avoid everyday situations. How many people suffer from phobias? About 8% of American adults, according to the American Psychiatric Association.
"Phobias are real," says Jerilyn Ross, who is a licensed clinical social worker, president of the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, and director of the Ross Center for Anxiety and Related Disorders Inc. in Washington, D.C. "People should not feel ashamed. For some reason, their bodies do this. Phobias are serious -- and can be treated."
When Panic Attacks
Ross is familiar with phobias from two vantage points: as a medical expert and as a patient. She overcame a serious phobia of being trapped in tall buildings.
"The experience of phobia is so unlike what most people know as fear and anxiety. If you try to tell them there's nothing to be afraid of, that just makes the person feel more alone and distant," Ross tells WebMD. "People with phobias are always aware that their fear doesn't make any sense. But they cannot face it."
"An adult with phobia does indeed recognize the fear response is exaggerated," says Richard McNally, PhD, a Harvard psychology professor. For example, "they recognize that this is not a poisonous spider but can't help but react with disgust and aversion to any spider they see. So these people cannot go into their backyard for fear of spiders."

3 firefighters injured battling Manlius garage, house fire caused by careless smokingManlius, NY -- Three firefighters were taken to Syracuse hospitals Monday night after they were injured while battling a fire in the town of Manlius, authorities said.Firefighters were called to a fire at 5:16 p.m. that had spread from a garage into a house at 7209 Kendall Drive East, said Minoa Fire Chief Erich Schepp.Minoa, Kirkville, Fayetteville and Manlius volunteer firefighters responded. Enough firefighters responded so they rotated battling the fire so everyone kept warm, but the cold temperatures created other obstacles, Schepp said.At least two of the firefighters slipped on ice, he said. The chief was not sure how the third firefighter was injured. All three firefighters' injuries were minor, however they were taken to area hospitals, Schepp said.The names of the injured firefighters were not immediately available. Schepp said one of the firefighters who slipped on ice and may have bruised his shoulder is a member of the Minoa Volunteer Fire Department.A man and his adult daughter were at home Monday evening when the fire started, Schepp said. They were able to call 911 and get out safely, he said. A cat and dog in the home also were not injured, the fire chief said.An investigation into the fire found someone smoking didn't properly dispose of a cigarette in the garage, which caused the fire, Schepp said. The fire spread into the house and also destroyed a car in the driveway, he said.The two-story home has severe smoke and heat damage, the fire chief said. Firefighters let the man and his daughter collect some belongings for about an hour Monday night. The American Red Cross is now helping them.Story Link; http://www.syracuse.com/news/index.ssf/2014/03/3_firefighters_injured_battling_manlius_garage_house_fire_caused_by_careless_smo.html

What is dermatopathology?
Dermatopathology is a subspecialty of pathology.
- Pathology is the study of diseases. It includes the study of the causes, course and progression and the complications that arise from the disease.
- Anatomic pathology, or histopathology, refers to the study of the structural and compositional changes that occur in organs and tissues as a result of disease.
- A pathologist is a doctor trained in anatomic pathology that examines, describes and interprets pathological specimens to arrive at a specific finding or diagnosis.
- Dermatopathology is the study and description of structural and compositional changes that occur in skin disease.
From a practical point of view, dermatopathology involves the microscopic examination, description and interpretation of biopsy specimens obtained from the skin. This is usually carried out by a general pathologist (who may or may not have had specific training in dermatopathology) or by a dermatopathologist (a doctor trained specifically in dermatopathology, but who may not have fully trained in anatomic pathology). Dermatopathologists often have training in clinical dermatology.
The interpretation of skin specimens can be complicated and difficult, as many diverse inflammatory skin diseases share the same basic inflammatory process or pattern. The final diagnosis requires clinical input and clinicopathological correlation.
How are skin biopsy specimens examined?
Skin biopsy specimens are processed and then stained with Haematoxylin and Eosin (H&E). With this stain, eosinophilic or acidic structures stain red, while basophilic or alkaline structures stain blue in colour. Depending on the observed dermatopathological pattern present and/or the clinical features, special stains may be requested to identify agents causing the condition (e.g. bacteria or fungi), specific substances deposited in the skin (e.g. amyloid, iron or melanin) or specific markers to identify the origin, nature and distribution of cells in the specimen being examined.
The specimen is systematically examined by looking at the structure of the epidermis, dermis, subcutis, fascia and underlying structures. Based on the findings, the pathologist may come up with a definitive diagnosis, or list several possible explanations, creating a differential diagnosis. The integration of clinical information in conjunction with the pathological findings generates the final diagnosis. It is in this correlation of clinical and pathologic findings that experience in clinical dermatology can be very helpful.

The New Britain Campaign was a World War II campaign by the Allies, between December 1943 and the end of the war in August 1945, to contain Japanese forces concentrated in Rabaul, the capital of New Britain, the major Japanese base for the New Guinea and Solomons campaigns.
New Britain is a crescent-shaped island north east of the mainland of New Guinea, approximately 600 kilometres (370 mi) along its south-eastern coast line, and from 30 to 110 km (20–70 mi) wide, not including a small central peninsula. The island has an area of 37,800 square kilometers (14,600 mile²).
There were more than 100,000 Japanese military and civilian personnel on New Britain and a smaller nearby island, New Ireland.[1] These were centred on the headquarters of the Eighth Area Army: the 17th Division (11,429 personnel at the end of the war); the 38th Division (13,108); the 39th Brigade (5,073); the 65th Brigade (2,729); the 14th Regiment (2,444); the 34th Regiment (1,879) and the 35th Regiment (1,967). By the end of the war, these Japanese forces were restricted to Rabaul and the surrounding Gazelle Peninsula.
United States, Australian and New Guinean forces, assisted by local civilians, were always a division-level command or smaller: the U.S. "Director" Task Force (effectively a regimental combat team) and the 1st Marine Division handed over to the 40th Infantry Division, which in turn handed over to the Australian 5th Division.

The main battles of the campaign were:
- Battle of Arawe
- Battle of Cape Gloucester
- Battle of Talasea
- Landing at Jacquinot Bay
- Battle of Wide Bay–Open Bay
The initial landings at Arawe and Cape Gloucester were part of Operation Cartwheel. The main objective of the overall operation was the isolation of Rabaul. Part of this plan called for the Allies to secure beachheads on New Britain, within which air bases could be constructed.

is that why you are so grumpy with narratives this week--because all the stories have been told and you are a writer--so you are basically either out of a job or reduced to a recycling agent...?
Is that why they're always trying to kill us Jews? Cause our stories are so badass?
I found bible stories to be convoluted, nonsensical, and generally lacking in coherent points. At least when read in the bible. The distilled children's book versions or the campy movie renditions are a whole different bag of tricks. Been reading The illustrated Children's Bible have we Charles.
What about the mormonz?
The New Testament is saturated with Jesus' death because that's the part that Paul (WAS: Saul of Tarsus) thought was the most important part of Jesus' life. Here's a bit of information about him: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_of_Tarsus
This view was cemented by the Council of Nicea and is why now Christians are more interested in Jesus' death than what he had to say while he was alive.
Christianity was a religion of the people, by the people and for the people, until Saul felt it was more important to use as a tool to control the masses.
the truth abouth the bible.
warning, spoiler alert!
You need to do a little more research on this one. Christians believe Jews are God's chosen people. And that Jesus was scattered all throughout the old testament. He was in fulfillment, not in resentment towards.
So basically your little thought bubble here is ignorant and trite. Sorry - your thoughts aren't as important as you think they are.
Don't worry it happens to all of us.
ryan, you are wrong, wrong, wrong. i'm right, right, right.
But how does Chewbacca relate to Jesus in the context of this narrative construct?
So Bush meets this Marine who lost both his legs in Iraq and says \"Good Man, We\'re Gonna Get Him Some New Legs...\" Bush is the guy Dan Savage supported to start a war in Iraq. The Marine is the guy who is paying the price for Bush\'s stupidity and incompetence.
Excerpts below from Dan Savage\'s \"Say yes to war\" piece Oct. 2002
\"While the American left is content to see an Iraqi dictator terrorizing the Iraqi people, the Bushies in D.C. are not. \"We do not intend to put American lives at risk to replace one dictator with another,\" Dick Cheney recently told reporters. For those of you who were too busy making papier-mâché puppets of George W. Bush last week to read the papers, you may have missed this page-one statement in last Friday\'s New York Times: \"The White House is developing a detailed plan, modeled on the postwar occupation of Japan, to install an American-led military government in Iraq if the United States topples Saddam Hussein.\"\"
\"In the meantime, invading and rebuilding Iraq will not only free the Iraqi people, it will also make the Saudis aware of the consequences they face if they continue to oppress their own people while exporting terrorism and terrorists. The War on Iraq will make it clear to our friends and enemies in the Middle East (and elsewhere) that we mean business: Free your people, reform your societies, liberalize, and democratize... or we\'re going to come over there, remove you from power, free your people, and reform your societies for ourselves\"
But what do you do if all the great stories have been toldand only a great story can establish a religion, a state, a race? You take, borrow, steal, and become resentful.
Or, if you're Dan Brown or J.K. Rowling, you become filthy stinking *rich*, is what happens here.
"And that Jesus was scattered all throughout the old testament."
hehehe that just sounds kind of dirty for some reason. Is 'that Jesus' a euphemism for semen? If so I want to stick my God the father in her Holy Ghost so I can shot that Jesus into her heart.
"But what do you do if all the great stories have been toldand only a great story can establish a religion, a state, a race?"
I'm unsure about the idea of "great stories." Narrative has too many permutations to be exhausted, see the Library of Babel.) I am convinced, though, about this idea that narrative does this, that it creates identity: religion, state, race, tribe, region, etc. For instance, L. Ron Hubbard was able to create a religion with a story. Not a great story. Just a story. Star Wars has created something ... an international geek culture ... I suspected that the anti-narrative post was an attempt to get at the function of narrative in globalism, right? Most criticism frames the study of narrative in terms of nations, religions, race, or international movements like Modernism / Communism (but these seem like echoes of essentially political/commercial structures like global capitalism.) In Modernism/Post-Modernism there are only a few players and a huge, distributed audience. There has been a shift since the 1990s, with many players and many audience members in terms of cultural production/consumption.
So what do these stories look like that are no longer interested in telling the stories of New York, London, Paris, Peking, and the kind of people who live there? I do not belong to a clearly defined ethnicity or religion and to say "Culture of the United States" is kind of a joke.
But there are "chosen people" who do tell stories about themselves that are global in nature. There are the new(ish) narratives of people (somewhat) free from the constraints of geography, religion, ethnicity, etc.: Geek stories (Star Wars, Philip K. Dick, Star Trek), gay literature, and the catch-all of counter-culture lit. Do these literatures operate any differently then, for instance, post-colonial lit? I think they do -- they are constructive and optimistic (utopian) for the most part (even if dystopian) because the imagine a future in which the old lines of power have dissolved. Of course there are always new sources of oppression. A story has conflict. Maybe it is the past -- but I think a difference might be that these literatures are future facing (to generalize).

if it were my choice, i'd edit that fucking bible down to the 4 gospels, and cut those down a la thomas jefferson.
the new testament isn't a coda, its the old testament that's a curse on civilization.

The Ultimate Raised Bed Garden
After three hip replacements I thought I was finished with gardening, so I dreamed this up. Screwed a PT 2X12X8 to my shed, cut another in half for sides, used a third to complete it. 4X4 legs support the outside dimension. Screwed 2X2 around the lower inside edge so I could drop in 5/4 PT deck boards for a bottom. Lined it with landscape fabric stapled up the sides so the soil doesn't leak out. Now I can grow tomatoes and peppers without bending or stooping.

WASHINGTON (July 1, 2013)--U.S. manufacturing activity increased in June behind a pickup in new orders and stronger production, the Institute for Supply Management reported Monday.
The increase suggests factories could help the economy in the second half of the year.
The institute said its index of factory activity increased to 50.9 in June, up from 49 in the previous month.
May's reading was the lowest in four years.
A reading above 50 suggests growth, while those below indicate contraction.
The survey also found that factories cut jobs last month.
Manufacturing has slowed this year after providing crucial support to the economy for the first three years after recession ended in June 2009.
Europe's slump has weighed heavily on U.S. exports and businesses cut back on their investment in machinery and equipment in the first quarter.
