Data on foods consumed by gorillas and chimpanzees living in primary forest in Gabon were collected, mainly by examination of the contents of feces. Gorillas ate fruit very regularly (some fruit remains were present in 97.6% of 246 fecal samples examined), in addition to leaves, stems, pith, and bark. Some fruit remains were present in all chimpanzee fecal samples examined. Mean numbers of fruit species per fecal sample were 2.5 for gorillas and 2.1 for chimpanzees. Sixty percent of all identified foods recorded for gorillas were recorded for chimpanzees as well. Our results indicate that important differences in diet exist between western lowland gorillas and the eastern gorilla populations of Kahuzi-Biega and the Virunga Volcanoes. It is now clear that western gorillas cannot be accurately classed as folivores.

Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) is the new generation of sensor network which combines micro-electronic technology, embedded computing technology, distributed information processing technology, networking and wireless communication technologies. Wireless sensor network is composed of a huge number of sensor nodes that can cooperate to sense, collect and process the data. It has a series of features, such as the huge number of nodes, limited node hardware resource, power supply constraints, dynamic topology and self-organization, etc. The character of WSN allows it to be widely utilized in military surveillance, environmental observation and forecast, household appliance automation, medical care, space exploration, and other various commercial applications. Thus, these all contribute to a broad perspective of wireless sensor network. However, it also has brought a lot of challenges in the application areas – how to test and validate algorithms and protocols of wireless sensor network towards the large scale scenarios. Comparing simulators with test-bed, the accuracy and reliability of simulators becomes a strong issue. The purpose of this thesis is to present an effort took to examine the reliability of Castalia/OMNET++ simulator through simulating wireless sensor network. In this thesis, two test-bed experiments were setup by using two IRIS (Integrated Resource Information System) nodes and one MIB520 gateway to evaluate the simulator's reliability. The results collected from IRIS test-bed experiments were compared with the results collected from the simulation experiments of the same scenarios on Castalia simulator. A lot of various parameters (traffic load, radio transmission power, and interference model) were considered in the simulation. The simulation results show that the Castalia simulator provide quite reliable results up to 2% over/under estimation of test-bed results. In addition, a simple tuning Castalia default value configurations can significantly increase accuracy.

Poem Title:
Now I 'm convinced the Lord is kind To men of heart sincere; Yet once my foolish thoughts repined, And bordered on despair. I grieved to see the wicked thrive, And spoke with angry breath, "How pleasant and profane they live ! How peaceful is their death ! "With well-fed flesh and haughty eyes, They lay their fears to sleep; Against the heav'ns their slanders rise, While saints in silence weep. "In vain I lift my hands to pray, And cleanse my heart in vain; For I am chastened all the day, The night renews my pain." Yet while my tongue indulged complaints, I felt my heart reprove, "Sure I shall thus offend thy saints, And grieve the men I love." But still I found my doubts too hard, The conflict too severe, Till I retired to search thy word, And learn thy secrets there. There, as in some prophetic glass, I saw the sinner's feet High mounted on a slipp'ry place, Beside a fiery pit. I heard the wretch profanely boast, Till at thy frown he fell; His honors in a dream were lost, And he awakes in hell. Lord, what an envious fool I was! How like a thoughtless beast Thus to suspect thy promised grace, And think the wicked blessed. Yet I was kept from full despair, Upheld by power unknown; That blessed hand that broke the snare Shall guide me to thy throne. God, my supporter and my hope, My help for ever near, Thine arm of mercy held me up, When sinking in despair. Thy counsels, Lord, shall guide my feet Through this dark wilderness; Thine hand conduct me near thy seat, To dwell before thy face. Were I in heav'n without my God, 'twould be no joy to me; And whilst this earth is my abode, I long for none but thee. What if the springs of life were broke, And flesh and heart should faint? God is my soul's eternal rock, The strength of ev'ry saint. Behold, the sinners that remove Far from thy presence die; Not all the idol gods they love Can save them when they cry. But to draw near to thee, my God, Shall be my sweet employ; My tongue shall sound thy works abroad, And tell the world my joy. Lord, what a thoughtless wretch was I, To mourn, and murmur, and repine, To see the wicked placed on high, In pride and robes of' honour shine! But O their end, their dreadful end! Thy sanctuary taught me so; On slipp'ry rocks I see them stand, And fiery billows roll below. Now let them boast how tall they rise, I'll never envy them again; There they may stand with haughty eyes, Till they plunge deep in endless pain. Their fancied joys, how fast they flee! Just like a dream when man awakes; Their songs of softest harmony Are but a preface to their plagues. Now I esteem their mirth and wine Too dear to purchase with my blood; Lord, 'tis enough that thou art mine, My life, my portion, and my God. Sure there's a righteous God, Nor is religion vain; Though men of vice may boast aloud, And men of grace complain. I saw the wicked rise, And felt my heart repine, While haughty fools with scornful eyes In robes of' honor shine. Pampered with wanton ease, Their flesh looks full and fair; Their wealth rolls in like flowing seas, And grows without their care. Free from the plagues and pains That pious souls endure; Through all their life oppression reigns, And racks the humble poor. Their impious tongues blaspheme The everlasting God; Their malice blasts the good man's name, And spreads their lies abroad. But I with flowing tears Indulged my doubts to rise; "Is there a God that sees or hears The things below the skies?" The tumults of my thought Held me in hard suspense, Till to thy house my feet were brought, To learn thy justice thence. Thy word with light and power Did my mistake amend; I viewed the sinners' life before, But here I learned their end. On what a slippery steep The thoughtless wretches go; And O that dreadful fiery deep That waits their fall below! Lord, at thy feet I bow, My thoughts no more repine; I call my God my portion now, And all my powers are thine.

Families Without Homes
In a report released this year, the Wilder Research Center estimated that 15,759 Minnesotans are homeless or precariously housed. These men, women, and children were living "doubled up" with others, or in shelters, transitional housing, or on the streets. In response to increases in homelessness, St. Stephen's Church of Minneapolis has opened five programs for the homeless over the past twenty years, which in the last decade have focused more on homeless families. Here, Minnesota Parent takes a look at two of these programs: Job and Employment Readiness, and Housing Services Programs.
From Tragedy to the Streets
Bonita and William had to get out of Milwaukee. William's twenty-two-year-old son Monty died in a car crash after a police chase, and the funeral and burial exhausted their savings. Bonita could no longer bear to stay in the apartment where Monty's memory lingered like a ghost. So the couple gathered up a few belongings, and with their ten-year-old daughter, twelve-year-old son, $50, and some food stamps, they got on a bus and moved to Minneapolis. "I bragged to my children what a wonderful place Minneapolis was," said William, who had been to the Cities before for work, removing asbestos insulation from old buildings. "I had no idea moving here was going to be mission impossible."
And three months and four shelters later, it was beginning to seem that way. They had figured it wouldn't take long to get on their feet. While Bonita, an industrial seamstress by trade, is disabled with a spinal lipoma, William has worked for most of his forty-seven years. "We don't have U.D.s [eviction records], we don't have criminal records, we are good people, and we want to give our kids a better life."
Unfortunately for William and Bonita, it's becoming more difficult for low-income families like theirs to find and keep housing in the Twin Cities. According to the Wilder Research Center, the number of homeless and precariously housed persons in Minnesota about doubled between 1991 and 1997. Also in that time, the number of homeless with full-time work has doubled, and the number receiving government benefits like food stamps and Medical Assistance has dropped. These trends indicate that a job is no guarantee of housing anymore. As one homeless father of three puts it, "In Chicago, there was housing but no work--here, there is work but no housing."
St. Stephen's Programs
St. Stephen's Church has been in the business of housing the homeless since 1981, when they first opened a shelter for homeless men in the basement of their Whittier Neighborhood Church. Since that time, the demographics of homelessness has shifted considerably in the Twin Cities, and St. Stephen's has opened new programs to meet new needs. In the 1980s, single, adult men comprised the largest group of homeless adults in Minnesota, but today women outnumber men and there are almost as many homeless children as men and women combined. In the metro area there has been a nine-fold increase in homeless children in this decade alone.
Homeless children represent homeless families. St. Stephen's has responded to increases in homelessness among families by creating programs that address the needs of parents. In the 1990s, they started their Employment and Job Readiness Program and their Housing Services Program. According to Sue Roedl, program director and caseworker, most St. Stephen's clients who are parents have two case managers: one for jobs and one for housing.
"The job training program helps folks stabilize their lives," says Sue. "Steady employment guarantees rent and provides a structure for the children." Janice, who grew up in Minneapolis, is a case in point. "I worked in the laundry at the Radisson, and my boyfriend didn't work. We had two kids when we were first evicted for falling behind on rent. That's when we first went to the shelter. It was always on my shoulders to pay rent and put food on the table."
Thus began a cycle of evictions and shelter stays for Janice and her family. She had five children when Audrey Preston from St. Stephen's Housing Services helped her get furniture and move from a shelter into an apartment. "She asked me why I didn't go to school," said Janice. "I said I was too dumb. Audrey referred me to St. Stephen's Job Service Program where Sue convinced me to take a college-placement test.
"We do a lot of things we don't have to do," says Sue. "We try to take a small case load so we can provide life-skills training and emotional support." St. Stephen's will work with about 120 people this year through their Employment and Job Readiness Program. This helps clients find the schooling and training they need to make a living wage (while, in many cases, raising a family). It also helps clients land jobs, and provides ongoing mediation between employee and employer, if that's needed.
According to Sue, Janice was struggling with five kids, a low-paying job, and an abusive boyfriend who didn't work regularly. "Sue is totally supportive of me," says Janice. "She is a friend. St. Stephen's helps with bills sometimes, and I come to a class for single women once a week. I like having that support. Now I go to Minneapolis Community College, and I'm getting a 4.0 average. When I get my associate's degree, I want to work with battered women in shelters."
Getting Families Out of Shelters
Housing homeless families became a high priority for Minnesota state government in the 1990s, and justifiably so. Researchers at Columbia University concluded that half the kids in shelters have chronic health problems. Over forty percent have asthma or other respiratory problems. The rate of ulcers and other gastrointestinal problems among shelter kids is three times that of the population at large. The rate of diabetes is more than ten times higher, and the rate of tuberculosis is 100 times higher. It's clear that living in shelters is physically and emotionally stressful.
Unfortunately, shelters are difficult to exit without help. The county-funded shelters cost $25.66 per person per day. That includes infants. This means a family of five will pay more than $125 a day to stay in a shelter. If they can't afford this, all the earnings and benefits they do receive will be taken over by the shelter, and the shortfall will be made up by the county.
With these fees, it's tough for clients who do make money to save enough to get out. Perhaps as importantly, there is little incentive to get work for adults who are stuck with families in shelters. At the wage rate most shelter residents can expect to receive, their entire check will be taken over by the shelter. According to Audrey, escaping the shelters is particularly difficult for new arrivals. "People from out of state are not eligible for benefits until day thirty-one here. Consequently, they come to the shelter, they don't have any money saved, they don't have any resources, they don't know anybody, they're stuck."
Under Minnesota's Family Homeless Prevention Act of 1994, money became available to agencies like St. Stephen's to work with the county in getting people out of the shelters. "Hennepin County gave some flexibility on how agencies do this, as long as they got the job done," says Sue. Many agencies rely on supervised, transitional-housing programs to get people out of the shelters. These may keep residents from getting into trouble, but do not provide experience in successful independent living.
"The St. Stephen's approach has been to help people find permanent housing and give them a lot of support in the transition time," says Sue. "We teach individuals to be good tenants in the places they're going to live permanently." St. Stephen's will place about 100 families and 100 singles in apartments this year. By concentrating resources on placement and support, they avoid the problem of clients becoming stuck in or dependent on transitional housing. "The problem with transitional housing is that sometimes there is no place to go when your time is up," says Sue.
Through public and private grants, St. Stephen's is able to help clients with housing-related costs. They will cosign leases, help clients financially in times of need, and work closely with clients and landlords, which has helped build up a network of landlords who prefer to rent to St. Stephen's clients. This trust is important when trying to place clients who have poor or no rental histories. But still, the list of housing applicants is long compared to the list of available housing.
The Workers
Audrey Preston has spent twenty-eight of her fifty years working in the chemical dependency field. She transferred her skills into homeless advocacy with St. Stephen's when she moved here from Chicago. "My daughter had been in a homeless shelter before. I sent her here to Minneapolis with her kids when she could no longer stay with her abusive husband in Illinois. When I finally saw the shelter she stayed in, tears jumped into my eyes. If I had known what the conditions were, I wouldn't have encouraged her to come."
Now Audrey does her best to find apartments for single adults and families. But low-income housing continues to be replaced by upscale apartment buildings and office parks. African Americans and other minority groups frequently face discrimination by landlords. Migrants from other cites have gotten a bad reputation, according to Audrey, because Minneapolis landlords have different standards for acceptable tenant behavior.
"In Chicago, where I came from, as long as you pay your rent, they don't care if you move a gorilla up inside your house," says Audrey. "That's not the case here. There are very strict guidelines and rules that people from out of state don't know about." These rules include restrictions on how many people may live in the apartment, how much noise the tenants may make, and even expectations on how long children may be left in the apartment unattended. Since most of Audrey's clients are from out of state, her job becomes that much more difficult. "Our agency has a pretty good catch of landlords," says Audrey. "But even many of those don't want to take people who are from out of town. I might have to go through twenty to thirty clients just to get seven or eight placements. The others go back to the shelters or where they came from."
People who come through the St. Stephen's programs frequently have had difficulties with abusive relationships, poor health, drugs, or some other life challenge that makes finding and holding apartments difficult. "Between housing placement and job placement, housing is a hundred times more difficult," says Sue. " With a job you've got to keep it together for eight hours a day. With housing you've got to keep it together twenty-four hours a day."
It Can Work if You Work It
Bridget was sixteen and a high school student in Chicago when she became pregnant. At seventeen she had dropped out of school, married the father of her child, and became pregnant with a second child. She left her husband and moved back in with her mother when her husband began seeing other women. "I thought I was in love," says Bridget, "but things weren't going as planned." Then her mother died when Bridget was twenty-one, and her husband kidnapped her kids and took them to Minneapolis. Bridget turned to drugs.
She was a heavy user of cocaine and alcohol when Anne, a reformed addict, adopted her from the streets of Chicago. Anne told Bridget she was too beautiful to do this to herself. In a year Bridget moved to Minneapolis, where she entered a drug treatment program and was able to reclaim her kids. At first she and the kids lived in the shelters and with friends and relatives, but St. Stephen's has helped her to find an apartment and has gotten her into a GED program. "It lifts me up to be getting my GED," says Bridget. Her kids are already doing better in school under the influence of a more stable home life.
The Work Goes On
"Tonight over 9,000 children will be homeless in Minnesota," declares a recent publication of Minnesota Coalition of the Homeless. These children, with or without parents, will be staying with friends, relatives, in shelters, or wherever they can. Homelessness affects their emotional and physical health, and influences their future prospects in work, in relationships, and in life. St. Stephen's and other agencies are doing their best to help families break the cycle of poverty and homelessness, but the work isn't easy.
The massive exodus of high-paying industrial employers from U.S. cities in the second part of this century has left millions of families across the nation without living-wage work. This contributes to the dissolution of inner-city communities and families, and to the societal ill of homelessness. Building affordable housing is part of the solution, but equally important is helping people with shattered lives rebuild themselves. As Minneapolis and St. Paul struggle to revitalize and repopulate their inner-city neighborhoods, the work of St. Stephen's and similar agencies becomes especially vital.

The Bergen Clinical Blood Pressure Study in Norway was used to examine the relationship between body mass index (BMI (kg/m2)) and total mortality in different age segments. Of 6,811 invited subjects, 5,653 (84%) participated in the study (1965–1971) and 4,520 (66%) died during 182,798 person-years of follow-up (1965–2007). Mean age at baseline was 47.5 years; range 22–75 years. BMI (kg/m2) was calculated from standardized measurements of body height and weight and divided into four groups (<22.0, 22.0–24.9, 25.0–27.9, ≥28.0). The 20 years cumulative risk of death related to baseline BMI was U-shaped in the elderly (aged 65–75 years), whereas the pattern was more linear in the youngest age group (20–44 years). In contrast to the younger age groups, the highest mortality in the elderly was in the lower BMI range (<22.0 kg/m2) (adjusted Cox proportional Hazard Ratio 1.39, 95% Confidence Interval 1.10, 1.75) compared to the BMI reference group (22.0–24.9 kg/m2). This pattern persisted after 72 months of early follow-up exclusion and it was robust to adjustments for a wide range of possible confounders including gender, history of cardiovascular disease, respiratory disease or hypertension, smoking habits, physical activity, socioeconomic status, physical appearance and other anthropometric measures. The study shows that a low BMI is an appreciable independent risk factor of total mortality in the elderly, and not a result of subclinical disease or confounding factors such as current or previous smoking. Awareness of this issue ought to be emphasized in advice, care and treatment of elderly subjects.

bites 2 in office
JAKARTA, Indonesia Two people have been hospitalized after being attacked by a giant Komodo dragon that wandered into the office of a wildlife park in eastern Indonesia.
An official at Komodo National Park, Heru Rudiharto, said Wednesday the 6½-foot-long Komodo dragon attacked a park ranger after walking into the office on Tuesday.
It then attacked another park employee who came to help him. Both were badly bitten and were evacuated to a hospital on Bali Island.
Rudiharto said the park ranger also was attacked by a Komodo dragon in 2009.
Endangered Komodo dragons can grow longer than 10 feet. Fewer than 4,000 are believed to be alive. They are found in the wild primarily on the eastern Indonesian islands of Komodo, Padar and Rinca.MORE IN Wire NewsWASHINGTON Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump encouraged Russia to meddle in...

That candid camcorder continues to sneak into rather personal situations. Crystal Knight and Peyton Alexander are both caught copulating (in separate scenes) poolside. Brooke Ashley gives Jake Steed something to eat in the kitchen and proves herself the high-priced spread as they do it on the formica countertop. Solveig shows enthusiasm and energy in her all-black fuckfest. Avalon takes matters in her own hand as she watches Peter North receive a blow job, followed (in a pre-nom-worthy couples scene) by what will probably be the best hand job of the year, from lovely Tatiana. Also, Mishka is seen in a three-way interracial d.p. that also allows her to demonstrate her deep throat techniques. At the end, Avalon catches the cameraman and -- naturally -- does him!

A 12-year-old boy suffered serious head, abdominal and leg
injuries in a three-vehicle road smash north of Taupo.
The boy was one of two people airlifted to Waikato Hospital
after the serious crash on State Highway 1, south of
The crash happened about 2pm yesterday near the Ohakuri Rd
turnoff, halfway between Taupo and Tokoroa.
Police believed a car had crossed the centre line before
hitting the side of a horse float truck.
Senior Sergeant Fane Troy of Taupo police said the driver
seemed to have lost control before crashing head-on with a
second vehicle, travelling behind the truck.
Mr Troy said there were three occupants in one car and one
person in the other car.
Taupo's Greenlea Rescue Helicopter arrived shortly before 3pm
and was there for about 20 minutes before taking the
12-year-old boy to Waikato Hospital with severe head,
abdominal and leg injuries.
Mr Troy said a second rescue helicopter was also called to
take another crash victim to Waikato Hospital.
The two others involved suffered minor injuries and were able
to walk away from the crash.
A Waikato Hospital spokeswoman said two crash victims were
being treated in the emergency department yesterday
afternoon. One was in a serious condition and the other was
in a stable condition.
The horse float, which was carrying live horses, had minimal
damage. The driver, George Potts, said he was driving up the
hill towards Tokoroa when he quickly swerved to miss a car
going the other way.
"I looked behind me and saw cars all over the place," he
When The Daily Post arrived about 3pm the road was blocked
with a diversion put in place by police.
The road reopened about two hours after the crash.

i love that the campus is not huge. nature trails and peace plaza are the best way to relieve some stress. however, communication at student one-stop has been terrible for financial purposes.Read More
the campus is gorgeous and i love the location. by talking to past students everyone loves this college- from fhs professor to the layout.Read More
It seems to be affordable. The campus is nice and pretty big, although is located in an urban area. They have a freshman residency policy that stinks.Read More

I got into this college and toured it as well. It is an amazing college that offers a lot of possibilities for you undecided kids. They also have a pretty neat campus life.

These "Anchorman" quotes were good ones but couldn't make the cut:
"I wanna say something. I'm gonna put it out there -- if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back. [Pause] I want to be on you."
"Superduper! Superduper! That's nice. Way to go! Neato, gang!"
"Loud noises!!! Loud noises!!!!"
"I love carpet. I love desk ... I love lamp. I love lamp."
"Great Odin's Raven!"
"I have one great passion that lives deep within my loins like a flaming golden hawk."
"We have a saying in my country -- the coyote of the desert likes to eat the heart of the young and the blood drips down to his children for breakfast, lunch and dinner."
"It seems that our youngest, Chris, was on something called acid and was firing a bow and arrrow into a crowd. [Pause.] You know how kids are."
"Sweet Lincoln's mullet!"
"Garth, if I was to give you some money out of my wallet, would that ease the pain?"
(More importantly, had Vince Carter known last season that he could potentially receive two paychecks for quitting on the Raptors, what would he have been capable of? Would he have just started launching 3s at his own basket? Blocking the shots of his own teammates? Showing up naked for games? Where would the line have been drawn?)
23. "I ate a whole bunch of fiberglass insulation. It wasn't cotton candy like that guy said -- my tummy itches."
To former Cavs GM Jim Paxson again ... in yesterday's column, I mistakenly blamed Philly GM Billy King for the fact that Kevin Ollie possesses a $15 million contract right now. Actually, Paxson was the one who signed Ollie to that deal; King then traded for it the following season. So my facts were screwed up. But since I forgot to mention King signing Derrick Coleman's decomposing body to a $20 million extension three years ago, we're probably even here.
(While we're here, kudos to Steve Carell as Brick Tamlin -- normally the Token Dumb Guy is a thankless role, but he's outstanding in this movie -- good enough that I'm even thinking about seeing "The 40 Year-Old Virgin" in the theaters. Which reminds me, does he wear an A.C. Green jersey at any point in that movie? Was A.C. hired as a consultant? Has anyone written about this yet?)
24. "I mean, come on, Ed, it's bullcrap! I mean, don't get me wrong, I love the ladies. I mean, they rev my engine -- but they don't belong in the newsroom!"
To NBA TV, who keeps insisting on showing WNBA games when they could be showing classic NBA games in their place. Sure, I'm the only TiVo owner in the country who gave "NBA Hardwood Classics" the pole position spot on their TiVo season pass, but still. Throw me a bone here. I need my weekly Bird fix. I need my weekly M.J. fix. Heck, I need my weekly Gus Williams fix. Please tell me their season is ending soon. Please.
25. "It's so damn hot! Milk was a bad choice."
To the Nets, who geared their entire summer around a Shareef Abdur-Rahim sign-and-trade and found out he couldn't pass a physical. Ouch. Why not pursue Antoine Walker over Shareef? Since when has Shareef ever been on a winning team? Isn't he the quintessential "Good stats/bad team" guy of the past 10 years? And while we're here, everyone needs to settle down with the whole "The Nets could be a top-five team!" stuff. Let's get an extended look at Kidd's knees and Vince's everything before we start lumping them in with the Pistons, Pacers and Heat.
By the way, quote No. 25 cracks my list of the most underrated things about "Anchorman," along with ...

...is a Detroit based rock band whose members each have a long history with and love for rock, southern rock and metal.
The beginning of Black Soul Swamp (BSS) was spent with the 2012 & 2013 line-up writing and recording the debut album entitled "Songs from the Swamp Part 1 & 2" which at the time included members Shawn Moore- Guitar (Crucified Nation, Abandon and Dark October) , Justin Babcock- Vocals (Fate, Abandon and Dark October), J. Chris- Guitar (Retroburn, Dark October), Doug Kaye- Drums (Koyl and Abandon) and Bassists- Jeff Wagner and Terry Schumate.
After Doug, Jeff and Terry left for various reasons, BSS reformed in 2014 with Brian Germain on drums (Crucified Nation, Mindrought) and Shawn Busch on Bass (Spittin' Whiskey). While they didn't record the album, the addition of these two heavy hitters has only solidified the bands agenda and goals.
The song "Blind Man" off the debut was chosen by the director of an independent film out of Grand Rapids, Michigan to be showcased in the film "I Wish" as well as the sound track.
In March of 2014 the band was approached by Dear Street Productions and the Witching Hour Entertainment group to record the new BSS video for the song "BROTHER". The video was released in June, 2014.
The guys of Black Soul Swamp are stoked about what is in store for this line-up and look forward to sharing their music with the world as promoters in the Midwestern U.S. market have already entrusted them to pump up the crowd and share the stage with Candle Box, members of Motley Crue, Tesla, Shinedown, Great White as well as Buckcherry and former Ozzy Osborne guitarist Jake E Lee's new band Red Dragon Cartel.

This is a new feature on the forums. The staff are going around tidying the clutter and making sure x360a is the one stop shop for all your 360 needs. :D
The Faq threads are where we need your help! What do you think are the most commonly asked questions about this game? Which threads keep popping up? What things do you wish you had been told when you first got this game?
Post in this thread and I'll edit the top post ;)
Thanks for your help
Where can I find a map for all gold locations?
How do I beat the final boss (Magruder)?
There are two parts on the final boss. The first part is probably the most difficult. What you do is watch where he goes and once he walks over one of the geysers you have to either throw a dynamite or shoot it with your dynamite bow. Timing is the key for this part and use your mini map also, it really helps.
As for the next part its fairly simple. Go to the left side of and there should be a big rock that you can hide behind where he can't hit you (i think its to the left from where you first start). Make sure you don't go too far back because Magruders men will be behind you. Once you find the spot take out your sniper and snipe his head. That will get him angry and he'll throw his super dynamite at you. Once he throws it up simply go into Quick Draw mode and shoot it. Do this a few times and it will cause the rock on top of him to fall.
As for gold locations: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...+xbox+360+gold
wow thanks i've been to lazy to use that gold rush video, but im glad i finally did because i just got my 1000 in GUN.
I have seen several people comment on Magruders men being in the back. I have done this came on each of the first three settings and have nevers seen his men yet. I am not sure if I am insane enough to try this on insane
Q: I've heard about this "glitch" that people refer to, which will allow one to pick any chapter of the game to play, which might well make it easier for me to finish the game on tougher difficulty settings . . . how might I do this, and how does it work?
A: There is a well-documented feature of the game that has been dubbed "the glitch," but is, in fact, an intended feature to the game, once you have completed one play-through on any difficulty. This link goes into that feature, in great detail (one of the posts in the thread even has a Youtube video link, showing how to accomplish this, which you may find extremely helpful):
12minutes 44seconds into the 20 minute video allowed me to get the last gold I was missing :)
it won't progress
I've just bought Gun recently and played it on the first mission which is the tutorial and it all went well until the moment after defeating the grizzly bear. After defeating it I tried to skip it but it just got stuck after that, then I reset and do the same thing all over again and this time without skipping and watch through until I see the loading icon. But once the screen goes black with "GUN" icon, it got stuck again! Using ever single method from installing it to HDD and using the cheat code at the beginning, I could not progress towards the next mission. Can anyone help me on this problem?
EDIT: Nevermind.

You may not even need any treatment for acute insomnia. In mild cases, it often can be cured with good sleep habits (see below). If your insomnia makes it hard for you to function during the day because you are tired, your doctor may prescribe sleeping pills for a limited time. These quick-working, short-acting drugs can help you avoid next-day drowsiness. There is not a lot of evidence that over-the-counter sleeping pills are effective for insomnia. They may have troubling side effects including daytime drowsiness..
Good Sleep Habits for Beating Insomnia
Good sleep habits, also called sleep hygiene, can help you get a good night's sleep and beat insomnia. Try these:
- Go to sleep about the same time each night. Get up at the same time each morning. Try not to take naps during the day, because naps may make you less sleepy at night.
- Avoid caffeine, nicotine, and alcohol late in the day. Caffeine and nicotine are stimulants and can keep you from nodding off. Alcohol can cause waking in the night and leads to poor sleep.
- Get regular exercise. You'll feel more tired at night. However, you may not want to exercise within about 3 or 4 hours of bedtime. Doing so keeps some people from falling asleep.
- Don't eat a heavy meal late in the day. Eat dinner at least 2 hours before bedtime. A light snack before bedtime, however, may help you sleep.
- Make your bedroom comfortable. Be sure that it is dark, quiet, and not too warm or too cold. If light is a problem, try a sleeping mask. If noise is a problem, try earplugs, a fan, or a "white noise" machine to cover up outside sounds.
- Follow a routine to help you relax before sleep. For example, read a book, listen to music, or take a bath.
- Avoid using your bed for anything other than sleep or sex.
- If you can't fall asleep and don't feel drowsy, get up. Read or do something quiet until you feel sleepy.
- If you find yourself lying awake worrying about things, try making a to-do list before you go to bed. This may help take away worries overnight.

amy's voice is a combination of the smooth of the pavement and the gravel of the road... amy bishop is a singer/songwriter. on the scene for a number of years. what number you ask? enough years to be impressive not so many that you think she is old. here is her very interesting and captivating tale... once upon a time where the earth was green and lush, in a land blessed with vine ripened tomatoes amy bishop gracefully was born unto this world. it was clear that this little angel had music running though her veins. she burst from the womb holding a rhinestone encrusted microphone and her first cries sounded like the opening melody of "born free". amy began her illustrious music career singing around campfires, block parties and in a church choir. amy reluctantly shared the lime light with her brothers joey and jimmy. the three of them would try to out sing each other sunday after sunday. their harmonies soared higher and higher until only dogs and god could hear them. knowing that a career in music is no guarantee amy decided to practice other useful trades. little did she know that there was almost no demand for mediocre cartoonists who can ride a unicycle. when the bubble finally burst amy attended the post secondary school of karaoke hosting and soon was making headlines all over south west calgary. one night as amy was belting out "house of the rising sun" a local songwriter walked in to the tavern. she asked amy to join her band and sing lead. mississippi steamboat was the band and amy fell in love with LIVE music. her karaoke backing tracks went the way of the dodo bird. amy decided to learn how to play the guitar, write songs and to master the art of writing her biography in the third person. with mississippi steamboat amy recorded her first cd "the highway" in 2000. since then she has released four solo cds: 2001's "live in my living room", "just like her" in 2004, "days and nights" in 2008 and most recently "elysium" in 2010. the most important thing you need to know about amy is that she has 3 incredible little boys. amy spends most of her days changing diapers and trying out new and interesting ways to serve healthy food so that the kids will eat it. her biggest hit so far is rainbow lunch... (please email amy for the recipe) before being blessed with children amy collaborated with moby, opened for april wine, farmer's daughter and chris cummings, and her intuitive musical prowess had become the stuff of local legend. amy has an instinctive ability to craft stories into song and deliver them with the sincerity and passion of a best friend - qualities that make amy an undeniable canadian talent. amy was born a singer, and grew into a songwriter through a lifetime of experience. she puts it all together in engaging performances that show off her range and power. an evening with amy bishop delivers rollicking "ain't life grand" road songs, soulful versions of love-gone-wrong ballads, and folk-based acoustic numbers that allow her naked vocal beauty to shine through.

A Comparison of Strength and Muscle Mass Increases During Resistance Training in Young Women
But that's that. In the short-term for beginner, more complex movements, within the limitations of this (and other studies) appear to give POORER muscle growth while strength is being gained with the growth from simpler movements showing up earlier.
Effects of Low Versus High Load Resistance Training – Research Review
Similarly, some recent papers have found that relatively low-load training but doing a ton of reps to failure has the same potential to recruit the high threshold muscle fibers as heavier training; growth in these studies was typically similar as well but they all suffered from the same basic flaw which was that they used untrained subjects. We know that beginners pretty much make the same gains no matter what is done and this didn't really say anything about trained lifters.
Effects of different volume-equated resistance training loading strategies on muscular adaptations in well-trained men – Research Review
Enter the paper I want to talk about today, done by Brad Schoenfeld and his colleagues. Brad has been doing some interesting work of late and it's clear that his actual background in practical weight room practices is informing his study designs since they are showing at least some relationship to what actual trainees actually do. And this is a good example of that. On to the paper.
Strength and Neuromuscular Adaptation Following One, Four and Eight Sets
There has been a literally decades old argument going on regarding the optimal volume of strength training (and here I'm primarily focusing on the argument about doing a single set vs. multiple sets) for various goals including strength, hypertrophy and the training of athletes. Claims that "One set is just as good as three" or what have you are often made based on a variety of arguments. Most of those I'm not going to address here since I want to focus primarily on the research into the topic. I'm also going to be focusing only on the issue of strength since muscular size gains are sort of a different issue.
Physiological Elevation of Endogenous Hormones Results in Superior Strength Training Adaptations – Research Review
A long-held belief that has floated around the world of strength and hypertrophy training is that training legs (for a variety of reasons including hormonal) has a positive effect on either strength or size. Many, many systems of training are based around that (including Dan John's Mass Made Simple which I recently reviewed) and the argument that you must train legs for maximum size (either in general or as part of a given training session) or what have you is often made.
Static Stretching and Refined Grain Intake by Paleo Man – Research Review
A combined research review looking at the issue of static stretching and high-intensity exercise performance along with data suggesting that ancient man was refining and consuming grains far earlier than originally assumed.
Casein Hydrolysate and Anabolic Hormones and Growth – Research Review
Today I want to look at two different recent studies which are:
1. Hydrolyzed dietary casein as compared with the intact protein reduces postprandial peripheral, but not whole-body, uptake of nitrogen in humans.
2. Elevations in ostensibly anabolic hormones with resistance exercise enhance neither training-induced muscle hypertrophy nor strength of the elbow flexors.
Fat-Free Mass Index in Users and NonUsers of Anabolic-Androgenic Steroids – Research Review
Last Thursday, I published a guest article by Alan Aragon entitled Supplement Marketing on Steroids, which was a scientific and technical analysis of recent claims regarding rates of muscle mass gain and potential maximum size by the website Testosterone.nation. In a different contest, this topic was previously covered on this site in the article What Is my Genetic Muscular Potential?
Effects of Moderate-Intensity Endurance and High-Intensity Intermittent Training on Anaerobic Capacity and VO2 Max
But among other aspects of this particular meme, the idea of the Tabata protocol (often abbreviated Tabatas) gets bandied about all the time. And the problem is that people are using the term to describe something that they don't really understand. What has happened is that a bunch of people who don't really know what they are talking about have written so much about the protocol that what it actually is or accomplishes has been completely diluted.
Rest Interval Between Sets – Research Review
When you look around the weight room, it's not uncommon to see folks using rest intervals that are wholly inappropriate for their stated goals. The paper I want to look at today was a good overall review of how rest intervals should be structured for different training goals including maximal strength, hypertrophy, power production or local muscular endurance.

India Plans to Cap Fuel Subsidy at $8.15 Billion
NEW DELHI – India plans to limit its fuel subsidies at 400 billion rupees ($8.15 billion) this fiscal year, scaling down its initial estimate by 50 billion rupees following easing crude oil prices and also due to its higher borrowing target, a senior finance ministry official said Tuesday.
"We will give another 200 billion rupees to 250 billion rupees maximum" this fiscal year through March, the official said.
The new target, however, is unlikely to ease worries that the government will miss its fiscal deficit aim of 4.6% of gross domestic product as overall subsidies toward food, fuel and fertilizer mount.
The finance ministry has already committed to give 150 billion rupees as the first installment to state-run oil marketing companies--Indian Oil Corp., Bharat Petroleum Corp. and Hindustan Petroleum Corp.. This cash will flow out in the November-December period when Parliament meets next, the official said.
The subsidy is to partially compensate the revenue losses of state-run oil marketing companies due to selling some fuel products at discounted prices. The retailers are also partly compensated by state-run upstream companies through discounts on crude oil.
The official said the new subsidy target factors in lower crude prices.
The average price of the Indian basket of crude oil fell to $108.79 a barrel in September from $118.46 in April.
The new subsidy target comes as the government decides to borrow 528 billion rupees more from the market than planned earlier to meet expenditure commitments.
But, the government still maintains it will meet the budget gap target.

|Federal Law Requires Reduction To Federal Unemployment Benefits
State Unemployment Benefits Are Not Affected
NASHVILLE – The Budget Control Act of 2011, also known as "sequestration," requires budget reductions to many federal programs, including the Emergency Unemployment Compensation (EUC) program. To meet the federal requirement for sequestration for fiscal year 2014, Tennessee must reduce all federal EUC benefits paid on or after October 5, 2013, by 4.4 percent.
EUC claims that are mid-tier as of October 5, 2013, will continue at the same weekly amount until the current EUC tier ends. All new EUC claims and EUC claims that transition to a new tier as of the week ending October 5, 2013, or later, will be reduced by 4.4 percent.
Approximately 20,000 Tennessee claimants currently receiving EUC or transitioning into EUC from Tennessee Unemployment Compensation program will be affected. Benefits received under the state's unemployment compensation program, generally the first 26 weeks (maximum) of available benefits, will not be reduced.
Claimants are being notified of the reduction during their weekly Internet or telephone certification.

Levy County property owners can expect that the non-ad valorem assessments for ambulance, fire, the landfill and road services will remain the same in the fiscal year that begins Oct. 1.
That's because the Levy County Commission, on Tuesday, tentatively gave unanimously approval to keeping the assessments at the same level as last year. The final vote will be done following a public hearing scheduled for Sept. 13 at 6 p.m. at the county courthouse in Bronson.
Michael Lee Hannigan, 33, of Chiefland is sitting in the Levy County Jail under a $1 million bond after being arrested on Sunday, July 3 at about 10:30 p.m. by the Chiefland Police Department and Levy County Sheriff's Office following a report of a man being attacked with a knife in the area of Northeast 11th Terrace.
The victim said he found a man sleeping in his camper located in the back yard of his residence. The victim said when he tried to call police, the man followed him and attacked him with a knife before fleeing on foot.
The "Veterans Walk" started just as dusk fell. with the entire park in absolute silence while patrons stood and saluted our great flag while the National Anthem played in the Bronson 4th of July celebration.
Levy County Commissioners have had enough with the accidents along a stretch of State Road 24 by the Bronson Speedway and University Oaks subdivision and they want the Florida Department of Transportation to do something about it.
UPDATE: A Chiefland woman is the second fatality in a July 2 accident that ccurred on State Road 24 near Bronsn Speedway.

Editor's note: ESPN senior NFL writer John Clayton's weekly "First And 10" column takes you around the league with a look at the best game of the week followed by primers for 10 other games. Here's his look at Week 7.
First ... Denver Broncos at Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings are rested and have had time to reflect on their 5-0 start.
They know it wasn't a fluke. Through free agency and the draft, the Vikings upgraded the offensive and defensive lines. They play a physical brand of football, which allows them to run when necessary and hit the big pass plays. Gus Frerotte, the team's backup, came off the bench as a big surprise and gave Daunte Culpepper a three-week rest while he adjusts to playing with three fractured bones in his back.
The Vikings have depth, but, more important, they have great coaching. Defensive coordinator George O'Leary preaches aggressiveness along the defensive line and smart, opportunistic play in the secondary. It works. And so do the solid passing schemes of Scott Linehan, who mixes the run well with the pass.
But the biggest reason for the Vikings rapid start is Mike Tice. He works the Vikings. His newest mission is to make sure they don't read too many press clippings and become complacent. They shouldn't. The team that won only six games last season can equal it if they beat the Broncos.
Though the schedule grows more difficult in the next three weeks, the Vikings have a rare opportunity. Their next three games are at home. They play the Broncos Sunday, the Giants the next week and the Packers on Nov. 2 in a second meeting that could allow them to gain more distance in the NFC North race.
Tice keeps bringing out the pads and making practices more physical to keep the players into the power of the game. At camp, he had more scrimmages than most teams because he wanted to establish a physical presence along the offensive and defensive lines. He wanted his linebackers to smack running backs. The extra hitting improved the team's tackling skills.
Part of his camp agenda was borrowed from Joe Gibbs, the former Redskins coach who once employed Tice as a backup tight end. Gibbs was imaginative with his offense, but he stressed execution and would run plays over and over again until they were right. Tice has one of the biggest and tallest offensive lines and is using it to the Vikings advantage.
This week is a statement game more than anything else to the Vikings. They have a chance to go into the Packers game 7-0. Chuck Knox taught Tice that winning the division was the most important thing in developing a playoff caliber team.
The Broncos will be without quarterback Jake Plummer, who is actually suffering more with a foot injury than the shoulder injury that was initially bothering him.
Steve Beuerlein draws the starting assignment for the second consecutive week, and he will try to execute Mike Shanahan's creative plans. Each week, Shanahan adds a whole new section of plays so teams don't pick up on Denver's tendencies. Two weeks ago, it was the Wishbone. Last week, he ran completely opposite the team's tendencies on certain running plays.
Even though the Vikings are playing in the day, they are now a prime-time team. They can't afford a retreat.
And 10. New England Patriots at Miami Dolphins: The Dolphins defense is hot. Red hot. They've allowed only four offensive touchdowns this season, and they are getting better each week. Their defensive ends put on a show last Sunday against Jacksonville and that's a concern because of the injuries that don't seem to be going away for the Patriots offensive line. Everyone expects a good defensive game because these AFC East rivals have good defenses. But the winner might come down to which team has the better quarterback this Sunday. Even though these are considered playoff caliber teams, neither is getting playoff caliber quarterbacking. Tom Brady has an excuse. He's had shoulder problems dating back to last season. Brady has a 72 quarterback rating, is completing just 58.1 percent of his passes and his 6.3 yards a pass attempt is one of the worst in the AFC. Many believe his lingering shoulder problem is worse than the team wants to admit. He's not throwing the ball downfield. Against the Giants last Sunday, he threw only one completion in the first half. For Fiedler, there is no mechanical excuse. He's just missing on the longer throws. The inaccuracy is slowing down the Dolphins' passing offense. Fiedler has completed only 56.8 percent of his passes and has a 74.2 quarterback rating. With a running back as potent as Ricky Williams, Fiedler should have a rating near 90. Fiedler's inability to get the ball downfield is allowing more defenders to stay near the line of scrimmage and limits Williams to 3.4 yards a carry.
9. Tennessee Titans at Carolina Panthers: What an interesting matchup. Steve McNair is everything to the Titans offense. He's going against an aggressive, young defense that loves to hit. McNair has been forced to carry the load because Eddie George isn't getting consistent running yards and the Titans have had injuries to as many as two tight ends. It would help McNair if Frank Wycheck could come back from his seasonlong concussion problem and give the Titans another receiving threat. The Titans best formation is three-receivers and one tight end. Against the Texans, McNair had a career 421-yard day mostly out of that formation. The Panthers defensive line is great at beating blockers, but McNair's specialty is making plays on the run. The other great part of the matchup is how good the Titans are at stopping the run. The Panthers run the ball 58.5 percent of the time. Stephen Davis will pad up a bruised forearm and try to hit the Titans defense. As an outside threat, the Panthers will continue to develop powerful 220-pound threat DeShaun Foster.
8. Green Bay Packers at St. Louis Rams: The Rams righted their offense by whipping up on bad teams. They outscored the Falcons and Cardinals, 73-13. They had 897 yards of offense in those two games, more than twice the amount their opponents gained. They are controlling the clock and controlling the game. No wonder the Packers are concerned. They are having difficulty stopping good offenses. And now, the Packers defense has to try to stop the Rams in St. Louis. Ouch. The Packers rank 30th in pass defense, allowing 248 yards a game. And to make matters worse for the Packers defense, they are thinner with the loss of defensive end Joe Johnson for the season. They will have to shift tackles to ends and weaken their inside defense. You would think this would be a great showdown for two great passing offenses, but there is a big caveat. Brett Favre is playing in a dome. He's 11-19 in domes with 44 touchdowns and 48 interceptions. Bad things happen to him in domes. He had six interceptions the last time he was in the Edwards Jones Dome.
7. Kansas City Chiefs at Oakland Raiders: This is the Raiders' last stand. If they lose, they will fall five games behind the Chiefs. Nothing is working for Oakland. It entered the week with 14 injuries, many so serious that those players won't practice all week. And no team needs more practice than the Raiders. They committed 19 penalties in last Sunday's loss to the Browns. The only hope is the return of wide receiver Jerry Porter, who's been out after sports hernia surgery. Porter is the Raiders only true deep threat, and Rich Gannon needs something. He's standing back in the pocket watching no one get open. The Chiefs can whip the Raiders so many ways. The Raiders are the league's worst run stopping team, and Priest Holmes is second in the AFC in rushing. He has 564 yards on 123 carries. Trent Green got the passing offense going last week, and the Chiefs can attack the battered Raiders secondary with Eddie Kennison, Johnnie Morton and Tony Gonzalez. And the Raiders have had special teams problems all year, while Dante Hall, the Chiefs returner, has been unstoppable.
6. Washington Redskins at Buffalo Bills: Talk about falling stars. That talented Steve Spurrier offense of the first four weeks has dropped dramatically. Patrick Ramsey is holding the ball too long. He's getting sacked four times a game and hit way too many times. Changes might be brewing along the offensive line, but they might also need some review of strategy here. Spurrier loves to send everyone into routes. Maybe he'll keep a back in to chip block, but that isn't going to be good enough to stop a top defensive end. The Redskins are also fading defensively where more changes are brewing. Bruce Smith will play less at defensive end and Regan Upshaw will play more. For the Bills, it's even more baffling. One of the league's most improved teams is getting very little out of their offense. They are averaging a league-low 261 yards a game of offense. Think about it. A league low with Drew Bledsoe at quarterback. It's time to bench Josh Reed and replace him with Bobby Shaw, but Eric Mould's groin injury means that can't happen. The loser of this game could go into serious depression.
5. Tampa Bay Bucs at San Francisco 49ers: The Bucs are starting to get real thin in the secondary. Brian Kelly is considering playing despite a torn pectoral muscle. They need him because they are losing trust in third corner, Tim Wansley, who is late for meetings and sometimes irresponsible. Defensive tackle Warren Sapp is steaming about his $50,000 fine for harassing officials and conduct on the field. Watch him try to take it out on the 49ers. Meanwhile, the 49ers are a mystery. They are 0-3 in one-point games. Part of the problem has been bad special teams. This is a critical game for the 49ers. Terrell Owens is frustrated, and he hasn't been the same receiver since being hit by Aeneas Williams of the Rams several weeks ago. He's dropping passes and short-arming the ball. He needs a big game. Lost in all the talk about the Bucs and their defense is the great season being had by quarterback Brad Johnson. He's completing 65.8 percent of his passes and has 12 touchdown passes compared to three interceptions. His 101 quarterback is more than compensating for the lack of a running game.
4. Philadelphia Eagles at New York Giants: Is it time to bench Donovan McNabb? Maybe it is. McNabb's career isn't overrated. But we aren't seeing the real Donovan McNabb, and finally, it was revealed he has a sore thumb. McNabb wasn't good against the Cowboys last week, and the Eagles can't keep losing division games. McNabb's completing just 49.1 percent of his passes and has a QB rating of 54.2 -- worst in the NFC. If you're Andy Reid, you should keep the bullpen active. Giants coach Jim Fassel vows some changes in the offense, which isn't working. Sounds like a year ago, except Sean Peyton, now an assistant in Dallas, can't be used as a scapegoat. Kerry Collins isn't hitting the long passes and his interception total has risen to nine.
3. New York Jets at Houston Texans: The Texans built their defense around the expansion selections of cornerback Aaron Glenn and defensive linemen Seth Payne and Gary Walker. Walker has a bad shoulder, Payne is out for the season and Glenn is expected to miss his second consecutive game. No wonder Dom Capers defense has dropped to 30th. That gives Jets quarterback Vinny Testaverde a chance to maybe have a 200-yard day. Yes, it's possible. The Jets even have a chance to get out of their early season funk, but this is still a dangerous game for them. They are on the road. Capers does a great job motivating his team. And David Carr will be throwing against a Jets secondary that is almost a skeleton because of injuries. Andre Johnson will be hard for the Jets cornerbacks to handle.
2. San Diego Chargers at Cleveland Browns: Marty Schottenheimer returns to his old stomping grounds in Cleveland with a lot on his plate. The pressure is on in San Diego, and while Schottenheimer isn't going to lose his job during the season, he needs to start turning things around. The 0-5 start has a lot of people uncomfortable in San Diego. Schottenheimer is sticking to his plan of working the players hard and having them prepared. But the Chargers need a victory to take some of the pressure off. Butch Davis has responded to Cleveland's 1-3 start by winning two games. The underachieving defensive line is starting to play well. Sure, the Browns allowed Jamal Lewis to run for 295 yards, but the defense has played pretty well since that game. Davis' biggest concern is along the offensive line where they will be down two more starters -- Shaun O'Hara and center Jeff Faine. For the Chargers to win, they need a good day along the defensive line. This line is rested from the bye week. The Browns are thin. There are no excuses if the Chargers can't pressure the Browns.
1. Chicago Bears at Seattle Seahawks: Everyone who has been clamoring for change at quarterback in Chicago might get it this week. It looks as though Chris Chandler will play for Kordell Stewart, who has a leg injury. Chandler is a smart quarterback, but he's playing behind one of the league's worst offensive lines in a system that really only allows him to throw short. The Seahawks aren't great pressuring the quarterback, but if they can blitz Chandler, they could cause him a lot of problems. Ray Rhodes, the Seahawks defensive coordinator, should find ways to diagnose the Bears short-passing defense. To make matters worse for the Bears, halfback Anthony Thomas, who has been running well of late, probably won't play because of a foot injury. The only reason this game made First and 10 is to see what the Bears offense looks like with a different quarterback.

I know that it's not the best case scenario, and that, auto-updatable local installs, TS sessions and other means are now available for this situtation, but I'd like to have a clear and deep answer to discourage such way to install applications across a network.

No, Zanaflex is not a narcotic.
Zanaflex is a short-acting muscle relaxer. It works by blocking nerve impulses (pain sensations) that are sent to your brain.
Zanaflex is used to treat spasticity by temporarily relaxing muscle tone.

Zanaflex is not a narcotic and will not show up on a drug screen, the things they test for on a drug screen is for cocaine, narcotics such as percocet,lortab,morphine, thc, ativan, valuim, xanax etc. Zanaflex is a muscle relaxer and they do not test for that on a drug screen, so you have nothing to worry about.
Thanks so much for your response on this one. I was in the same boat at the person that posted this question and was freaking out about my test also.
So this will not show up on a 10 panel drug screen I have to take 2 morrow does anyone know for certain ty

Very good and refreshing. Made it last night for DH and I. He really liked it because it wasn't too sweet. I added a little more o.j. so that it wasn't too thick. Will be making it often since we have fresh strawberries most of the year here in Mexico. Made for Bevy tag.
