E-liquid, also known as smoke juice and e-juice, is a liquid used in all electronic smoking devices, that provides taste, and vapor, and that delivers nicotine when vaped. Coming in second place, with Halo's Turkish e-liquid tobacco, is Tribeca flavored e-liquid. The sweet hints of caramel and vanilla, with only a little taste of tobacco and a descent throat hit help make Tribeca one of the top flavors of e-juice on the market. Which says a lot considering there are 23 flavors of e-liquid made, just by Halo.
Halo Tobacco Flavors
*Prime 15
*Torque 56
*Midnight Apple
*Captain Jack
*Tiki Juice
*Freedom Juice
*Southern Classic
Halo Menthol Flavors
*Menthol Ice
*Cool Mist
*Sub Zero
*Menthol X
Halo Gourmet Flavors
*Kringle's Curse
*Belgian Cocoa
*Twisted Java
*Cafe Mocha
Tribeca has a very pleasant smell, much like sugar cookies, with only a mild tobacco like smell. It is golden light brown in color, and has more of a caramel smell than vanilla. With each inhale, you will get an explosion of rich flavor, and with each exhale, you will notice more of the greener, woodsy, tobacco flavor. The tobacco flavor adds just enough balance to the sweetness and other flavors to keep the sweetness form being too sugary. As with all Halo e-liquids, there is a "perfumey", "powdery" after taste. If you do not like the perfume or powder after taste, you will not like Tribeca e-liquid.
With the Tribeca e-liquid, there is no steeping needed for great flavor, as it is steeped before it's put into the bottle. Tribeca e-liquid has a decent throat hit with a tremendous vapor production. It vapes well at 6.5 to 7.6 watts on a nautilus BVC coil, or at 3.5 to 3.7 volts on a 1.8ohm atomizer. It also works great with Aspire BDC's. The warmer you like your vape, the more e-liquid you can use at a time.
Tribeca e-liquid from Halo is suggested to new comers in the e-liquid industry due to it's soft hit and great flavor. There are many reasons as to why Tribeca and all Halo e-liquids are suggested to new comers. The main reason being that it is 100% made in the United States.
E-liquid companies that are making e-liquids over seas have lost their integrity of making e-liquids. The way e-liquid is made over seas is greatly compromised, and there are no penalties for providing dangerous products to the public.
Halo e-liquids are one of the more expensive brands of e-liquids around, and one of the most popular and widely distributed brands around the world. They are well known on line and in supply and brick and mortar stores. The good news is that there are Halo cigs coupons online that allow you to get a discount on Halo E-Liquids. You can even smoke Tribeca if you do not want any tobacco and just like the flavor of Tribeca, or if you are cutting back on your tobacco intake by ordering Tribeca in omg, 6mg, 12mg, 18mg, or 24mg strengths of tobacco.
If you are a first timer, or just want great flavored e-liquids while being able to choose your tobacco intake, you must try Tribeca and other Halo e-liquids. They are made with high grade ingredients and are 100% made in the United States to ensure you are smoking the cleanest juice.

highlight for me
Best Divided Sky I've ever heard live and, without a doubt, the best Ghost I've ever heard live.
This Ghost should be on the jamming chart because it has a distinct musical narrative that builds and transforms and then finally hits a peak, subtly easing back down to Earth.
I think, for me, it's the 3rd best Ghost of 3.0.
Birds of a Feather smokes, as does the YEM and the R&R.
I know there's some flubs here, mostly the train wreck from Drowned>Meatstick, but there's great song selection and great flow, and it really seemed to fit the dreary and cold, dark night along the Atlantic Ocean.
This show had a distinct feel, a theme, and it was awesome.

Batting Average: .633 (57/90)
The two ratings are Batting Average and GHI. Both are defined below.
BA: The total number of stars achieved divided by the total possible stars a concert can achieve. Each song can achieve a total possible 5 stars, 5 being the best, 0 being the worst. Therefore, each show receives anywhere from a 1.0 to a .001.
GHI: This rating is used in The Phish Companion 2nd Ed. Each show is given a score from 0 to 5, five being the best and 0 being the worst.
The two scores are synonymous. I like the BA form better because each show receives a score closer to its worth depending on how you rated it.

CORPUS CHRISTI - The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi baseball team suffered a pair of close Southland Conference losses on Saturday, with the Stephen F. Austin Lumberjacks taking a 4-2 win in game one of a doubleheader, before earning a 2-1 final in the nightcap.
The Islanders fall to 15-24 on the year, 8-12 in Southland Conference play. SFA improves to 16-23 overall, 9-11 in league games. Trevor Foss was tagged with the loss in game one to move to 0-6 on the year, while Adam Hoelscher pitched 8.2 innings and gave up two runs, just one of them earned, but still saw his record go to 6-4 on the season with the loss in game two.
In both games, the Islanders had their chances, but were unable to get timely hits, including in the final inning of both games with the tying or winning runs in scoring position.
In the first game of the day, the Islanders fell behind by a 3-0 score after scoring single runs in the third, fifth and sixth innings.
The Islanders pulled within one after the bottom of the sixth, scoring two runs on four hits to make it a 3-2 score. Jonathan Gonzales started things off with a leadoff single, but was out on the bases as Eric Weiss reached on a fielder's choice. Jeramie Marek followed with a single to move Weiss into scoring position at second base. Santiago Ruiz came through with an RBI single to left field, and was followed by an RBI single by Brad Porras to make it 3-2.
SFA added a single run in the top of the ninth, and the Islanders were unable to get anything in the bottom half to make it a 4-2 final in the front end of the doubleheader.
Game two saw the Lumberjacks score an unearned run in the top of the first inning after an Islander error allowed a batter to reach, and he would eventually come around to score on a double for a 1-0 lead.
The visitors added to the lead in the third inning, getting a single run on the first hit of the series for Hunter Dozier, an RBI double down the third base line to score a runner all the way from first to make it 2-0 SFA.
The Islanders manufactured a run in the bottom of the sixth, as Jordan Lee and Drew Vest drew back-to-back walks to start the inning. Gonzales hit into a fielder's choice, with Vest being put out at second, but the SFA shortstop overthrew first base and allowed Lee to come all the way around to score an unearned run to make it 2-1.
Texas A&M – Corpus Christi threatened in the bottom of the eighth inning, getting a runner all the way to third, but were unable to bring the tying run home.
In the ninth inning, Marek singled and stole second base ahead of an Eric Weiss walk. After Santiago Ruiz reached on an error by the second baseman to load the bases, but a strikeout ended the game with the bases full for a 2-1 Lumberjacks win.
The two teams will play the final game of the series on Sunday afternoon, with a scheduled 1 p.m. first pitch. Daniel Minor will be on the mound as he tries to stop the bleeding for the Islanders, while Colton Eubanks gets the start for SFA.

Condo auctioned for $1.76 million
Published: Wednesday, June 12, 2013 at 1:00 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, June 11, 2013 at 8:21 p.m.
SARASOTA - A penthouse in the Vista Bay Point condominiums on Golden Gate Point sold at auction last week for $1.76 million.
The 3,300-square-foot residence attracted 11 bidders from several states to the absolute auction, held in the residence's living room overlooking Sarasota Bay.
The high bidder was Larry Snipes of Fayettville, N.C., who purchased the unit via a corporate entity, Sarasota Eagles Nest LLC.
The seller was Derwood Godwin, who bought the residence in 2004 when Vista Bay opened. He paid $2.07 million, according to county records. The unit was assessed for tax purposes last year at $1.21 million.
The three-bedroom, three-and- a-half-bath unit occupies the entire top floor of the 17-unit building, at 128 Golden Gate Point.
"The best thing about it is the views," Goodwin said in a statement. "There's not another view in Sarasota County anywhere close to this."
Craig King, whose J.P. King Auction Co. handled the auction, said the firm received 4,701 Web hits leading up to the sale date.
"Last week's auction is a great indicator that a recovery is on its way in the luxury market," King said.
The unit includes a rooftop veranda with a domed kitchen, bathroom and seating for 30.

SEATTLE -- Sullen and beaten, the 49ers joined every other Super Bowl runner-up since 1973. There will be no avenging last season's Super Bowl defeat.
The 49ers stopped short of a trip to Super Bowl XLVIII by losing 23-17 to division-rival Seattle in Sunday's dramatic NFC Championship game at CenturyLink Field.
"We had a fair shot to win it," right tackle Anthony Davis said.
A series of tragic plays, however, spelled the 49ers' demise in the fourth quarter, most notably three turnovers by quarterback Colin Kaepernick.
"I cost us this game," Kaepernick said.
Similar to the 49ers' unsuccessful Super Bowl finish last year, Kaepernick's final pass this season went toward Michael Crabtree in the right side of the end zone. Instead of falling incomplete like last year, Kaepernick's pass was tipped by cornerback Richard Sherman to linebacker Malcolm Smith for a game-clinching interception with 22 seconds remaining.
"The final interception, the ball thrown to Crab, could have gone either way," 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh said. "If that goes about an inch or two (more), Crabtree catches it for a touchdown and we win. Richard Sherman made a terrific play."
Sherman agreed, and he celebrated by verbally blasting Crabtree after the game.
"When you try to come at me with a sorry receiver like Crabtree, that's the result you're gonna get," Sherman shouted to Fox Sports' Erin Andrews.
In his ensuing news conference, Sherman said the 49ers wouldn't even pick Crabtree if they could take 20 wideouts in a fantasy-fooball draft, adding, "He knows I'm going to be tough on him for the rest of his career."
In last season's Super Bowl exit, Kaepernick unsuccessfully took three shots to Crabtree from the 5-yard line. This time, the 49ers marched 60 yards in three minutes to the Seahawks' 18-yard line, where Kaepernick then heaved his fateful, final pass on first down.
"I had a one-on-one matchup with Crabtree. I'll take that any time," said Kaepernick, who totaled nearly as many rushing yards (130) as passing yards (153).
Kaepernick looked indeed poised to win a second-straight NFC Championship via a fourth-quarter comeback, having pulled that off a year ago in Atlanta.
A 16-yard completion to Crabtree moved the 49ers to the Seahawks' 29. Then came an 11-yard reception by Vernon Davis. Then came, well, The End.
"The ball was kind of inside. I did what I could," said Crabtree, who later fired back on Twitter regarding Sherman's taunts and called him a "fake" star.
Nonetheless, Sherman's play sent the top-seeded Seahawks (15-3) to the Super Bowl, where they'll face Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos on Feb. 2 in East Rutherford, N.J.
The Seahawks didn't lead until Russell Wilson threw a 35-yard touchdown pass to Jermaine Kearse on fourth-and-7 with 13:44 remaining. Aldon Smith jumped offside before the snap, allowing Wilson to take a free shot at Kearse against Carlos Rogers' coverage.
"They threw the ball at me, and I've got to make a play on the ball," said Rogers, who returned from a hamstring strain that kept him out of the preceding playoff wins at Green Bay and Carolina.
Shortly after Kearse's touchdown, Kaepernick lost a fumble on a sack by Cliff Avril, who took an outside path around Anthony Davis. Michael Bennett recovered the fumble and returned it to the 6-yard line with 10:07 remaining.
"We can't put this on Kap," Davis said. "It's more my fault than the quarterback's fault."
Although the Seahawks didn't convert that turnover into points, the 49ers still sustained a serious setback on the drive. Star linebacker NaVorro Bowman injured his left knee -- preliminarily called a torn anterior cruciate ligament, Harbaugh said -- on a potential takeaway at the 49ers' 1-yard line.
When the Seahawks promptly turned the ball over anyhow with a fourth-down fumble, the 49ers had 8:18 to rally. Two snaps later, Kam Chancellor intercepted a Kaepernick pass intended for Anquan Boldin at the 49ers' 40.
"Kap never saw him," Harbaugh said. Kaepernick, however, said he saw Chancellor and thought he could "put it over his head."
Kaepernick also had second thoughts on his second intercepted pass. "Could've put it a little deeper in the corner and gave Crab a chance," said Kaepernick, who stuck by his belief that Sherman's single coverage was his best option.
"Not many people get to be in this arena," Harbaugh said. "I'm proud of our guys for the fight they showed today and all season."

Intraductal papilloma is a small, noncancerous (benign) tumor that grows in a milk duct of the breast.
Intraductal papilloma occurs most often in women ages 35 - 55. The causes and risk factors are unknown.
The health care provider might feel a small lump under the nipple, but this lump cannot always be felt. There may be discharge from the nipple.
A mammogram should be performed, but may not show a papilloma. Ultrasound may be helpful.
Other tests include:
The duct is removed with surgery. The cells are checked for cancer (biopsy).
There may be support groups for women with breast disease in your area. Ask your doctor or other health care provider for a recommendation.
The outcome is excellent for people with one papilloma. People with many papillomas, or who get them at an early age may have an increased risk of developing cancer. Risk may be higher if they have a family history of cancer or there are abnormal cells in the biopsy.
Complications of surgery can include bleeding, infection, and anesthesia risks. If the biopsy shows cancer, you may need further surgery.
Call your health care provider if you notice any breast discharge or a breast lump.
There is no known way to prevent intraductal papilloma. Breast self-exams and screening mammograms can help detect the disease early.

That's the storyline of the 2012 playoffs, and why would the World Series unfold any other way, starting with Game 1 on Wednesday.
It sets up precisely: Detroit's Justin Verlander, baseball's ace of aces, is pitching Wednesday; and the Giants won't throw their ace, Matt Cain, until Game 4.
So the Giants theoretically could fall behind quickly and decisively in this series, as they fell behind 2-0 against Cincinnati in the NLDS and as they fell behind 3-1 to St. Louis in the NLCS.
Six victories in six elimination games later, the 2012 Giants know no other playoff path.
"We don't want to go down 3-1 again, but we know what kind of determination it's going to take to win," catcher Buster Posey said Tuesday.
"We know we're facing a really, really good team, and it's going to be a battle from the first pitch tomorrow."
The Giants squeezed past Cincinnati by gutting out extra innings on the road in Game 3 and then blitzing the Reds after the momentum turned.
The Giants knocked over St. Louis by using a miracle game from Barry Zito on the road in Game 5 as a slingshot into a dominant final sprint.
Here's how and why they could do something similar over the next week or so to win their second World Series in three years ...
Verlander can win only half of the games necessary to clinch this series, and after him, Detroit's rotation is much less certain.
The Giants know their most reliable starters, Ryan Vogelsong and Cain, are coming in Games 3 and 4, so there will be no panic if they drop some early games.
That leaves Detroit vulnerable even in Verlander games, if his pitch-count runs too high.
Jhonny Peralta and Miguel Cabrera could be problems at shortstop and third base, respectively.
Also, the Tigers' pitchers (including Verlander) put on one of the worst displays of fielding in playoff history in 2006.
Yes, the Giants are experts at chopping slow bouncers back to the mound with runners on, as they showed against St. Louis.
The Giants, meanwhile, are playing their best defense of the season.
And Giants manager Bruce Bochy almost always finds ways to limit opportunities for the opponents' best weapons by aggressively using his bullpen.
He'll have Tim Lincecum as a super-reliever for this series, and you can bet he'll pit Lincecum vs. Cabrera at least once in a key spot.
In 2010, the Giants got the full benefit of Rangers D.H. Vladimir Guerrero kicking balls around in right field in Game 1 -- and the embarrassment seemed to affect Guerrero at the plate, too.
Young won't be that bad, but he's still a natural D.H. who must play the field in several of the games. There will also be those automatic outs in the ninth spot in the order, whereas the Giants got RBIs from their pitchers each of the last three games.
Again, the Giants rotation isn't set up quite right, and if Madison Bumgarner can't turn things around in Game 2, things will really be off-kilter.
But if the Giants get down 2-0 ... or even if it's 3-0, the Giants will just gather up in the dugout, scream for a bit, and come out roaring.
It's the story of the 2012 playoffs.
"You play with fire, it's going to burn you," reliever Jeremy Affeldt said. "I don't think we necessarily want to get behind in this series.
"I think this team understands what it has to do to win a series when we are behind."
If the Giants ever got ahead in a series, I'm not sure they'd know what to do. They'll fall behind in this one, because it's who they are.
Then they will rally back. And ... prediction: Giants in 7 games.

hi masters.
My scenario is MDM and SRM. I am trying import the look table like currencies, iso code and others tables with transaction MDMGX use the FTP option the transaccion mark green color and the files xml are import ok into distribution file. but when I check the tables in MDM import or in MDM Manager does not found the tables.
any Idea what can be.
Hi Oscar,
this is the support forum for the SCN platform, the app you just used to post your question. Please use the Forum Finder for the New SCN and identify the right space to post this question into.
I'll put this thread in moderation.
Moving to SAP NetWeaver Master Data Management
The issue could because of the values, check the exception folder, if any values are stuck in that, also check the port execution whether it says, block on exception.
Try to import the files which are stuck in Exception using Import Manager, through Ports, you'll get the exact error, why they are getting into exception.
Do these preliminary test, and let me know your results
thanks for your help.
I made the import manually and still not have mapping so made mapping the import was successful. I am check in Data Manager and I can see the content in table like currencies.
but The problem in automatic way the port is in ready directory but no load in repository. is necessary create an bath into mdm.
thanks in advances.
Since now you've made the Map, did you save the map, using save update option in the Import Manager.
Then you need to use the same map in the console for the port, and keep the port as automatic processing, also make sure the property as, block on structural exception is not select.
Make these check and your automatic import should work
hi abhiskek thanks for your help.
I have a question. the mapping es content standar of distribution repository example to currencies
thanks again
Hello Oscar,
Not able to understand your question, as for the standard mapping is given, the path mentioned is correct. It will LT_Currencies, LT stand for Lookup Table.
ERP is the remote system from which you are importing the currency table values.
hi abhishek.
sorry for my wrong approach. I try to be clearer .
if we have the repository Inbound/ERP/LT_Currencies and want importa automatically is neccessary create at least a mapping before try import or no is necessary because de mappping is included in escenario.
Hello Oscar,
There are few things to need to check before you do automatic import,
1. Check the Port Processing in Console (Manual or Automatic).
2. Check the Block is used, eg. Block on structural Exception.
(This block the port if any exception has occurred, so no xml's will be imported
until you clear the exceptions)
3. Check if the Map in the port is correct one. (Usually a standard Map will be provided)
4. Test Run to see if the Map used is working properly
4.1 If yes, then you are ok.
4.2 If No, then you need to check which all error(Value, Import, or structural) has occurred.
5. Use the Import Manager to change the Map, and save the updated, and reattach the map in port through console.
As for your query, SAP includes standards Maps in the scenario, but they work in ideal scenario, which is not the case every time, hence modification are required, as explained above.
thanks abhisek
that's really what I was looking for. has served me well this information
just one last question in this new format as I can assign points for your answer.
You can assign points, on the left hand size you see the points available.
You can assign points, after each answer you have the option to assign the points.
The reason could be that your Import server is not picking up the files from the Ready Folder. Please check the following
Hope this helps,

- Evgeni Plushenko helps Russia take charge in Winter Olympics' team figure skating

- Winter Olympics: Your Thursday update
- Team skate competition begins
- Downhill practice runs halted over safety concerns
The Sochi Games have hardly begun, and they're already proving Hall of Fame basketball Coach John Wooden's axiom: "Sports don't build character. They reveal it."
The emergence of San Jose's 15-year-old Polina Edmunds as one of ice skating's fearless new faces of the Games is especially heartwarming. It may be too much to ask for Edmunds to break into the ranks of the world's top skaters in her first Olympics, but it will make for must-watch television -- particularly for the Archbishop Mitty High School crowd. They know the talented sophomore will give it her best shot.
Bay Area sports fans also have a special interest in the hockey competition this year, with four of the San Jose Sharks taking the ice. Should Joe Pavelski's U.S. squad falter, we can always cheer for Sharks on Canada's and Finland's teams, promoting the sort of good will the Olympic spirit cherishes.
That spirit may yet triumph at Sochi, but it will be a struggle. Speaking of Wooden's quote about revealing character.
Russian President's Vladimir Putin's production of the Olympics is the most corrupt in history, and that's saying something. The Sochi Games will cost a staggering $51 billion -- seven times what the 2010 Vancouver Games cost and more than the combined cost of all Winter Olympics in history.
Russian businesses have no peers when it comes to grabbing Olympic gold. They've snagged an estimated $20 billion through overcharges and outright embezzlement.
The International Olympic Committee has a nasty habit of letting repressive regimes use the games to portray their nations in the best light possible. It rationalizes this by marketing the Olympics as an agent of change in the world.
Well, let's see. Has anyone seen lasting political effects in China as a legacy of the Beijing Games? How about Leonid Brezhnev's Moscow games in 1980? Or Adolf Hitler's Berlin in 1936?
We rest our case.
The IOC demands that host countries adhere to the Olympic ideals of nonviolence, openness to the world and individual expression. Maybe Putin didn't think that included the gay community. More likely, he knew his Olympic history and figured the IOC would be gutless in enforcing that promise. Which it is.
But the corruption should not stretch to the games themselves or tarnish the sparkle of the finest athletes in the world. The contrast between their honest dedication and their host's craven ambition may turn out to be poetic justice.
And who knows. Perhaps the world will see a 21st Century version of the brave Black-power protest by Tommie Smith and John Carlos in the 1968 Mexico City Games, a milestone in the Civil Rights Movement.
The beauty of the Olympics is the world never knows what to expect from it. Let the Games begin.

SAN FRANCISCO -- They skipped classes, played hooky and generally packed downtown San Francisco streets Wednesday with a sea of orange and black to cheer the 2012 World Series champs.
Sporting panda hats and fearsome beards, fans lined the parade route, some perching on lampposts and leaning out windows to catch a glimpse of their beloved Giants' victory lap.
Many were up with the sun this morning -- a determined few even lined up the night before -- to witness the 11 a.m. event. The parade was expected to draw as many as one million and BART, Caltrain, Muni and ferries added extra service Wednesday morning.
Amanda Elke wasn't taking any chances. She arrived at the Civic Center Plaza the night before -- at 11 p.m. Tuesday -- to be one of the first at the front of the line.
"These guys play for the name on the front of their uniforms ... that's why we love them so much," said Elke, 23, from Salinas. "They did this for all of us so we had to be there for them."
Stefanie Herin, of Concord came with her deaf husband, Robert, their son Matthew, and a group of deaf friends who sat directly in front of the stage.
"This is so cool to be here with my dad and have the privilege of sitting up front" said Matthew 12, a die-hard giants fan. "And best of all I get to miss school too. "
Squeezed into a BART train from Pleasanton, 50-year-old programmer Ron King was ready for even more craziness than two years ago. That time he was able to sneak a peek at the Giants during the City Hall rally near his Civic center office.
This time he isn't so sure.
"The trains weren't this crowded this early in 2010," King said. "Today's going to be huge!"
Eight additional ferry runs were added from Vallejo, and two out of Alameda/Oakland.
Fans attending the parade were advised to avoid driving their cars to the event, with lengthy delays likely and parking extremely limited.
Caltrain was expecting thousands of additional passengers today and as of 8:30 a.m. had sent an additional five trains this morning to help fans get to San Francisco, according to spokeswoman Christine Dunn. Caltrain used an additional two express trains from San Jose, as well as an extra three trains that originated in Redwood City to help with the overflow crowds.
"We have had lots of Giants fans coming in," Dunn said. "Everything is going really smoothly. We have very crowded trains but everybody is having a good time."
When the Giants celebrated after winning the World Series in 2010, Caltrain set ridership records with an additional 37,000 passengers on the day of the parade. Caltrain averages about 50,000 passengers on a weekday, Dunn said.
As fans try to get home following the parade, Caltrains will leave from San Francisco every 15 minutes.
"That will expedite people getting home," Dunn said.
For those who cannot make it to the parade in person, it will be televised live by the ABC, NBC, CBS and Fox local network affiliates, KRON 4 and Comcast SportsNet Bay Area.

The new Eagle River Watershed Plan is now available for review and input before it undergoes public adoption hearings sometime around October.
The new draft plan updates the 1996 watershed plan and now includes the Colorado River. It was presented to Eagle County Commissioners at their regular Tuesday meeting. The public may find the plan on line at www.eaglecounty.us/Planning/.
"We wanted to make this plan accessible to your average person," said Eagle County Senior Planner Cliff Simonton. "It deals with a lot of technical and scientific stuff, and we tried to present it in a way that clearly outlines what our goals and priorities are for the watershed."
The update was done by a "partnership advisory team" that included all stakeholders of the watershed as well as the Eagle River Watershed Council and the Colorado Division of Parks and Wildlife. The plan outlines goals, concerns and priorities intended to help guide future development and use of water and land.
"There are some good conversations in here that have been presented in an accessible way," said Commissioner Jon Stavney. "I think it goes beyond the scope of what the county and municipalities can do in some areas, though."
Advisory team members, including Simonton and Tambi Katieb with the ERWC, agreed that there are numerous "tough questions that need to be discussed."
Some of those questions have to do with technical and legal agreement on what some terms and phrases truly mean. One example is the county's required setback of buildings from a riparian area. Stavney pointed out the vague definition of "riparian area" and also how a setback of 50 or 75 feet might be adequate in one area but not another.
The team said the plan is intended more as a guide than a blanket of black-and-white rules.
"This plan is about collaboration," Katieb said. "This is not a regulatory plan. It doesn't trump Colorado law - it doesn't trump water rights. It provides guidance so you can look at something in a more balanced way and make an informed decision with these things in mind."
Still, there will surely be discussion and revisions to the plan between now and October.
Meanwhile, the ERWC is launching a study of the Colorado River with Colorado State University. The mission is to collect a baseline of scientific data that has been missing on that stretch of river so far.
"Ideally we would have that information before coming out with the new watershed plan but we can take it into consideration as the data becomes available," Simonton said.

For more than four years, San Jose officials have been asking Major League Baseball to decide on the Oakland A's plan to move to a new downtown ballpark in the city over the San Francisco Giants' territorial objections.
But in a court filing late Friday in San Jose's lawsuit over the stalled decision that has kept the A's in Oakland's deteriorating Coliseum, MLB lawyers for the first time argued they already made that decision in June -- a day before the city sued. And the answer straight from Commissioner Bud Selig: at least for now, no way San Jose.
In the court document, MLB lawyers revealed that the league denied the A's relocation request in a June 17 letter from Selig, who "formally notified the Athletics' ownership that he was not satisfied with the club's relocation proposal." San Jose filed its lawsuit against MLB the following day, alleging the league had violated antitrust laws and unlawfully interfered with a November 2011 option agreement between the city and the A's to buy ballpark land.
The revelation came in what is typically a dry summary of each side's position as the antitrust case heads to a Friday hearing on the city's remaining claims. But it was unclear whether Selig's letter was a definitive rejection of the A's San Jose relocation plans, and owner Lew Wolff, while declining to comment on the letter, vowed to continue to pursue the A's move to the South Bay.
"All I can tell you is we're still proceeding as we've always done," Wolff told this newspaper.
MLB lawyers disclosed the letter as part of an effort to persuade U.S. District Judge Ronald Whyte that it undercuts San Jose's legal claims. In the same court document, San Jose's lawyers say the city has yet to be provided with Selig's letter, and that it should not be grounds for halting the legal battle.
The letter itself has not been made public, thus it remains unclear how far it went in sidetracking the A's desire to relocate to San Jose, and whether it simply identified further steps the team would have to take to proceed.
San Jose Mayor Chuck Reed said he was unaware of the MLB letter to the A's until notified Saturday, but doesn't consider it a deterrence to moving forward with the legal challenge.
"I don't know that it has any significance whatsoever," Reed said. "We're going ahead with the case."
Whyte is scheduled to hold a hearing in the case on Friday, when he will consider a variety of legal issues, including the importance of the letter. Whyte also will weigh whether to allow the city to immediately appeal his October ruling dismissing San Jose's key antitrust arguments, the core of the legal case against MLB. San Jose's lawyers are seeking the right to proceed now to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in an attempt to overturn Whyte's antitrust findings, rather than wait until the conclusion of the overall case.
In addition, the league's lawyers argue that the city's remaining legal claim should be put on hold because it could be nullified by a parallel case unfolding in the state courts that challenges the city's option agreement with the A's to purchase land downtown to build a new stadium. Whyte left intact a legal claim under California law that MLB's failure to make a decision on the move has been arbitrary, interfering with San Jose's right to pursue the team and blocking the $7 million land deal with the A's.
MLB lawyers now maintain that if the city loses the state court case, it would short-circuit its remaining claim in the federal lawsuit. In court papers, MLB lawyers also argue that the June letter does amount to a "final" decision on the A's fate, undermining the city's claim that a failure to act on the relocation bid has damaged the city's interests.
Nathaniel Grow, a University of Georgia business law professor, said much will depend on whether the letter was an outright rejection of the relocation plan, or whether MLB is using a narrow finding from the league as legal ammunition to get rid of the court case. Grow added that an outright denial of the relocation would support MLB's argument that the state law claim should be dismissed, but he found the timing of the disclosure unusual, given that baseball's lawyers could have used the same argument to try to get the case dismissed this summer.
Joe Cotchett, San Jose's lawyer, said Saturday the letter is another indication that baseball is stonewalling the city's bid to lure the A's to the South Bay.
"I think it clearly shows major league baseball's intent here," Cotchett said, declining to elaborate further on the letter.
MLB did not respond to a request for comment. John Keker, the league's lawyer, declined to comment Saturday.
The A's have been seeking MLB approval to move to San Jose since 2009, hoping to abandon Oakland's O.Co Coliseum, the fourth oldest ballpark in the league and the team's home since 1968. Oakland city officials have been working on a proposed plan to retain the A's, as well as the Oakland Raiders, with a stadium complex on the same site, but the A's have yet to express any support for remaining in the East Bay.
"I'm one of those people who's had confidence from the beginning that they couldn't go down there," Oakland Mayor Jean Quan said. "I'm very optimistic about keeping the A's."

8 Opinions
Pixadex has been merged with CandyBar :
awesome buts seriously needs support for 512×512
I'm an iconoholic, desperately driven to customizing anything in sight (or not in sight). Plain folders really bug me, and a lot of SW developers have poor aesthetics (sorry folks, but...). So, I have massive amounts of icons I pick-n-choose from. Pixadex makes it really easy to find the "just-right" ones for my gratification. I don't do "unified" so it's important I have a wide range to select from, and this app orders them for me. I especially like the icontainer concept, which allows me to install sets into Pixadex in a ready-made group I can quickly identify. I do agree, however, that Candybar is rather redundant and needs to be merged, so forgo it. As to its price, I don't think it's all that high compared to a lot of SW out there that runs up over $30.00 and competes with free stuff that's just as good - or better, the point being, I searched for a freebie to do what Pixadex does and couldn't find any, so I think it's a good value in the long run.
I totally agree with mumblingmynah. It should be merged into one app with CandyBar.
Nice app, and does what it says with no problems, but too expensive. This should just be merged with candybar.
Totally reliable, incredibly poserful.
I've personally found this to be especially useful for managing my expansive collection of stock icons. Seriously, web development gets that much easier when you don't have to waste time looking for the right-looking printer icon.
If you love icons, and you are anal about their organization, this is the app to get. Great interface, great functionality ... just plain good stuff.

Are mammograms adequate to find cancer in women with dense breasts?
Upstate radiologists Dr. Katherine Willer and Dr. Deepa Masrani are joined by nurse advocate Debra Malay RN BSN, to discuss a new law mandating radiologists to inform women with dense breasts that they may benefit from supplemental screening techniques such as breast MRI and breast ultrasound. They caution that all women are at risk of breast cancer, and should consult with their primary care provider to assess individual cancer risk. They also describe Upstate's unique patient advocate program to guide patients throughout their breast care treatment.

It's very noticeable you fought it solo: some orders and some stuff that happened clearly shows it. But I think it's cooler that way!
Which orders made it obvious? I'm probably going to be doing a few more solo ones and I want to make sure it doesn't seem like I'm biased.
To be honest I wasn't biased at all. I had no idea who was going to win and I actually thought the mutants would win even with the small entranceway and the grenades. I had more points on the mutant side and I thought with the officer in the prison who had an entire game to try to break out it would cause more carnage, but he got smoked early on.
Thanks for the input guys. There will most definitely be more like this, maybe even a campaign style? I think that's a good idea. I'll make a stream of events and battles based off of the outcomes of the battles I have with some comics or something like that before the next battle to show events.

Jane Currier of Randolph Center spent weeks at Gifford, including Thanksgiving and Christmas, after a fall where she injured her head and fractured her shoulder. A bright spot in the 84-year-old's day were meal deliveries by Simon Leong of the Food and Nutrition Services team. Both remember the day they met well.
"Who are you?" Jane recalls Simon asking. "I said, 'I'm Jane.' And he said, 'I'm Tarzan.' And we kept it up. He's very friendly. He never forgets names. He's somebody to talk to. He's funny. He's a character. I think I'll keep him and take him home." ~ Jane Currier

Maybe she wouldn't have so much time to misbehave if she had to get off her posterior and go to work each day. The need to pay for food and electricity certainly motivates me to get up and go to work every day. Quit giving people disability who are not truly disabled. This system creates "emotional cripples" who have no concept of how to solve problems or care for themselves.

I would like to watch the following youtube embedded live TV channel on my TV.
The link can be found at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=62i9gJqk ... r_embedded
I have just installed PS3 Media Server and can play content off my MAC on the TV.
I have also installed VLC and can play normal youtube links on it but not the embedded video link pasted above. The link does not work on PS3 directly so I would like to stream it via VLC. So far I have not got anywhere but then my knowledge on how to stream live videos onto the network is very limited. Any help suggestions on this would be greatly appreciated.
Here is what I am using currently:
MAC OS X 10.7.4 (2.3GHz Intel Core i5)
VLC Media Player (Version 2.0.3 Twoflower (Intel 64bit))
PS3 Media Server (Version 1.60.0)
Sony PS3 (Software Version 4.21 - 250GB Model)
Many thanks in advance for your help!

Police in Palo Alto zapped suspects with Tasers in a pair of recent incidents, ending a nearly two-year period in which the stun guns weren't fired at all in the city, according to a new report.
Los Angeles County-based independent police auditors Michael Gennaco and Robert Miller concluded that police were justified in using a Taser in at least one of the incidents, but raised concerns about officer training. The other incident remains under review.
The incident detailed in the report began when a police officer pulled over a vehicle because of an expired registration sticker. The officer called for backup when a passenger in the car "responded strangely" to his questions.
The male passenger appeared to be under the influence of a drug and ignored orders not to put his hands in his pockets, according to the report. The officer fired his Taser into the man for 5 seconds when he twisted out of his grasp during a pat-down search and continued to reach for an object.
"The Taser was effective and the passenger crumpled to the ground," Gennaco and Miller wrote in the report.
Lying face down, the man kept his hands under his chest. But a backup officer was able to handcuff him after the first officer fired another 5-second burst, according to the report.
The object turned out to be a "glass 'crack' pipe." It was broken during the scuffle and one of the officers was cut.
"We concur with the determination that both five-second activations of the Taser were reasonable and conformed to PAPD Taser use policy," Gennaco and Miller wrote in the report.
"While the officer's perception of immediate threat -- a prerequisite for Taser use under PAPD policy -- was inherently speculative in this situation, it was a reasonable inference from the suspect's belligerent stance and his fixation on an object in one of his pockets and his vigorous struggle against the pat down search."
However, the auditors raised some concerns. Although justified by the "rapidly evolving nature of the physical struggle," the first officer did not issue a verbal warning as called for by the policy when possible.
In addition, an interview with the driver about the incident was conducted in the back of a squad car by the backup officer. Ideally, a supervisor should have handled the interview in the open, according to the report.
Still, the driver agreed that the Taser use was justified.
"She appeared to be relaxed and candid in this brief field interview and described her friend as having 'flipped out' and the officers as acting 'very proper,' " Gennaco and Miller wrote in the report.
The auditors ultimately concluded that every officer needs to be well-versed on the policy.
"While we agreed with PAPD's decision to find the one Taser use discussed above in policy, training issues were raised even as to their deployment," Gennaco and Miller wrote in the report. "We are hopeful that PAPD continues to provide robust in-service training to its officers in Taser use, as it did when the Tasers were first brought into the Department."
The report also covered a recent internal affairs investigation into an officer's off-duty conduct and a citizen's complaint about the on-duty conduct of officers.
In the former case, Gennaco and Miller agreed with the investigation's conclusions that the officer had violated the department's "conduct unbecoming" policy by refusing to cooperate with San Francisco authorities while they investigated a report that he was suicidal.
The auditors also found the citizen's complaint unfounded, but said the investigation could have been conducted more quickly.

Nelson Mandela was remembered this week as a "giant of history" and "one of the greatest leaders of our time," according to news sources, as tens of thousands of people attended his memorial services Tuesday.
The former president of South Africa died Dec. 5. Nearly 100 world leaders paid tribute to the anti-apartheid icon this week at the Soweto soccer stadium that hosted the opening and closing ceremonies for the 2010 World Cup.
President Obama spoke to the attendees Tuesday, along with U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff and Cuban President Raul Castro.
"His struggle was your struggle. His triumph was your triumph," Obama said. "Your dignity and hope found expression in his life, and your freedom, your democracy is his cherished legacy. The world thanks you for sharing Nelson Mandela with us."
Mandela, who became one of the world's greatest leaders, was born in Mvezo, Transkei, on July 18, 1918. His father, Henry Gadla Mandela, was the key counsellor/advisor to the Thembu royal house.
The younger Mandela went on to bring about some of the most significant changes in South African History and politics - becoming the father of South Africa's democracy. He was instrumental in the formation of the radical African National Congress Youth League in the 1940s, which was determined to change the face of politics.
"... It was also through Mandela that the world would learn the spirit of endurance, the triumph of forgiveness and the beauty of reconciliation," his obituary reads.

Warburg President Says Neiman Sale a Success
For Warburg Pincus, its $6 billion sale of luxury retail chain Neiman Marcus Group Ltd. was a "success."
"The deal turned out fine," said Charles Kaye, co-president of the private equity firm, who added that the portfolio company was "reasonably successful, considering the time."
Warburg, alongside co-owner TPG Capital, earlier this month announced the sale of Neiman to private equity peers Ares Management and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.
That exit came eight years after the pair bought the retail chain for $4.9 billion and rode the investment throughout the financial downturn.
At first glance, the transaction appeared to be a marginal win for the duo. The Wall Street Journal, citing people with knowledge of the matter, reported earlier this month that the firms were poised to more than double the amount of cash they put in back in 2005.
Mr. Kaye, while speaking at the Dow Jones Private Equity Analyst Conference in New York on Thursday morning, added leverage helped pad the firm's return. He said that "other things" also contributed, but he didn't specify further.
The exit came through a so-called secondary deal, where private equity firms buy and sell from one another. Those deals have sometimes been criticized by investors, but the transactions play a large part in annual M&A volume.
Mr. Kaye defended the practice—as well as private equity's broader strategy industrywide.
"[Private equity] is a more sustainable phenomenon than some people might believe," said Mr. Kaye. "Some businesses may just not belong in the public markets."

I need to produce closed polylines that are encoded/recognizable as a closed thing by POLYLINE or LWPOLYLINE elements in the DXF file.
I have tried (and found frustrating) QCad Demo 220.127.116.11. There is a "Close" Button when drawing Lines, but the whole thing comes as a bunch of single LINE elements in DXF.
Also, I'd like to modify "closed" polylines from some given DXF file into really closed polylines (in the above sense), optimally without redrawing them.
--> Would that work in QCad Professional?
Not that crucial, but still quite a nuisance: It seems layers can get messed up: I modify one polyline point, and suddenly the thing is on a different layer (the one that by chance was highlighted in the layer box).
--> Is that a bug or a feature?

UPDATE: "The Flash" Hasn't Cast Savitar, Says Berlanti
TV, Comic Books
[A quick note before we go too much farther: I started writing this post before DC's big announcement about its September-and-beyond plans. In fact, I wanted this particular post to be about something other than Flashpoint and/or line-wide reboots — so depending on your perspective, I picked exactly the right week, or exactly the wrong week, to draw that line. In any case, it's probably not hard to tell, from the past few weeks' worth of posts, where I stand on current events.
[So there you go. On with the business at hand.]
Since it's pretty much summer, and time to think about catching up on reading, let's revisit DC's list of "30 Essential Graphic Novels" — "best-selling titles that you must read[, ]whether you are just beginning to discover graphic novels or you are an established fan looking to expand your collection."
The list is almost four years old, and has had a few minor updates. (Pride Of Baghdad replaced The Quitter, and Crayon Shinchan replaced Sword Of The Dark Ones.) For the most part, though, it's the same compilation — heavy on the Batman and the Jeph Loeb, a decent amount of Alan Moore (but no Swamp Thing), a couple of Sandman books and Hellblazer, but no Wonder Woman, no Joe Kubert, and no Jack Kirby. While there are at least a couple of representatives from each of DC's imprints, there aren't many hints at the real scope of DC's diverse publishing history.

Bardsea Holiday Cottages
See & do near your Bardsea cottage
Take time to reflect in the grounds of Conishead Priory, a Gothic revival country mansion that's now an international Buddhist college, with tours, café and gift shop. Enjoy a visit and tour of Swarthmoor Hall, original home of George Fox who founded Quakerism. Travel back to the Bronze Age at the Druid's Circle on the east side of Birkrigg Common, featuring two roughly concentric stone rings (like a mini Stonehenge) and blessed with wonderful views over the village and bay beyond. Also close by is Furness Abbey, once England's second richest abbey and protected by English Heritage. Back in Bardsea, admire the many stained glass windows of Holy Trinity Church.
Dust off those boots and stomp along the Cumbria Coastal Way into Bardsea Country Park, an idyllic coastal spot that's great for a picnic with a view. You can access the beach and discover the ancient oak trees of Sea Wood, owned by the Woodland Trust. The park is also popular with bird-watchers and sea anglers. For shopping, the thriving town of Ulverston is just down the road, birthplace of Stan Laurel. And if you've packed your clubs, don't miss Ulverston Golf Course - the views from the greens are truly magical.
Come nightfall, enjoy a relaxing supper in your cosy Bardsea cottage or stroll into the village for refreshments and banter in one of the local pubs.

- Facebook's $19 billion deal for WhatsApp breaks Silicon Valley records
MENLO PARK -- Sequoia Capital made a fortune through early investments in startups that went on to became global icons. Think Apple, Cisco, Google, Yahoo, PayPal and LinkedIn.
But on Wednesday, the legendary venture capital firm hit a $3 billion jackpot.
Sequoia's $60 million investment in a little-known but fast-growing mobile messaging service paid off big-time when Facebook announced it bought the company, WhatsApp, for $16 billion in cash and stock. That represents the single largest purchase of a Silicon Valley-based company.
For Sequoia, the Facebook acquisition represented "a massive win," said Anad Sanwal, CEO and co-founder of CB Insights, a venture capital database. "They're just really good at what they do. They're really, really good."
Sequoia Capital invested in WhatsApp in 2009 and continued as the sole investor through two more rounds of funding in 2011 and 2013.
Sequoia's investment gave it a stake in WhatsApp that could be somewhere around 14 percent and possibly higher, said Justin Byers, director of business intelligence for VC Experts, who reviewed WhatsApp's regulatory filings.
In an email to this newspaper, Byers called Sequoia's $3 billion payday "a nice return."
It's increasingly rare for one venture capital firm to be the sole investor in a fast-rising Silicon Valley startup, Sanwal said.
"They're one of the few VC firms that can see around corners," he said.
In addition to its legendary status as an early investor in startups that became global icons, 41-year-old Sequoia Capital, based out of Menlo Park, also has invested in Nimbula, a Menlo Park-based cloud computing company founded by two former Amazon.com executives; Jive Software, of Palo Alto, which connects businesses such as Intel and Nike to customers through social networking; Inkling, of San Francisco, which provides college textbooks for mobile devices; SunRun, a San Francisco solar company; Evernote, of Mountain View, which creates software that allows people to save notes, websites and other information online then access them through mobile devices; and Hearsay Social, of San Francisco, which lets corporations interact with consumers via social media.
Sequoia partner Jim Goetz declined to comment Thursday.

Roger to play his third final this year
Roger defeated Russia's Mikhail Youzhny 6-2 6-3 to reach the final of the Dubai Open. Roger will now either meet second-seeded Spaniard Rafael Nadal or unseeded German Rainer Schüttler in Saturday's final.
Although the score suggests it was a straightforward match for the Swiss top seed, a strangely inconsistent performance from Roger in the first set meant he fell behind in his first four service games. He had to fight off four break points in the opening game and although he broke to lead 2-0 when Youzhny netted a weak backhand, Roger faced another three break points in the next game. He also fell behind 0-30 in his remaining two service games of the set but often followed up by playing sublime tennis to pull himself out of trouble.
After holding off an eighth break point when leading 4-2, Roger broke again for the set when Youzhny made a forehand error. The second set was more comfortable for Roger as he raised his game and often ended rallies by changing the pace and forcing errors from his opponent. The outcome of the set still hinged on just one break of serve. That came in the seven-deuce second game after Youzhny failed to win any of five game points and then double-faulted on break point.
"Overall, I played well in the match," Roger commented. "I'm very happy, I just tried to win it."
It's today ..Oh my god ..my heart is pulsing strongly ..I feel afraid and assured at the same time ...I don't know why this feeling..!! Please forgave me, but I know you can do it .
Good luck & Be careful ..!!
Don't forget the match last year in de semi final of the French Open........
I know you can beat him,
Now go ahead for the title!
But please don' t forget the plesure of play, which you make play so well. Enjoy the final with Nadal, you will hold the trophy!!!
Congrats once again you finally started to play great tennis didn't think that you played the best that i have seen you but the good thing is that we all know that you always have some other gears to go to if you need to.

"The Worst Gift He's Ever Given Me"
"I was feeling frisky after getting home from a Friday night out and decided to send some booty texts. I had recently been hooking up with two different guys, so I figured I might as well try my luck with both of them. I guess in the heat of the moment I forgot that when there are multiple recipients, iPhones create a group text in which everyone's name is visible. To my horror, the two guys could see that I had said, "Hey, wanna come over? :)" to both of them. Needless to say, I ended up very lonely that night." —Chloe M.
"My ex and I decided to spice things up by having a quickie in my family's kitchen. After he left, I texted him to let him know how hot it was, but to also tell him how furious my neat freak mom would be if she ever found out only adding to the hotness. However, my subconscious got the best of me and I accidentally sent the text to my mom instead. Not only was it extremely awkward the next time I saw her, but she also made me scrub down the entire kitchen as she watched, making sure I hit every last spot." Laura T.

Qx9650 quad core 3.0ghz 12mb l2 cache 1333fsb
8gb ddr2 800mhz
3x 500gb sata2 7200rpm
5x 2tb sata2 5900rpm
Nvidia gtx 550 ti
All files being served are mkv, ts, mp4, or m2ts. My goal is to serve sbs 3d signals to the Samsung player and 720p and 1080p signals to everything. I assume my system specs should be plenty for transcoding. Any recommendations there are appreciated. Thanks.

UCB joins Emerson
10.01.2013 - Belgian UCB S.A has signed a $6.1m contract with Emerson Process Management for UCB's $228m biotech manufacturing site in Bulle.
Under the terms of the agreement, Emerson will provide automation and operations management systems to construct the first phase of the new microbial production plant. UCB's 20,000-square-meter facility, which will be one of the largest in Europe, will be the main production centre for Cimzia® (certolizumab pegol), which is used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and Crohn's disease. Last autumn, UCB opened a €65m mammalian production plant in Belgium.
"The state-of-the-art and largely automated facility at Bulle will be a model for the industry when it opens in 2015," said Michele Antonelli, UCB executive vice president. "To ensure the project meets its tight build-out schedule, we selected Emerson Process Management for its demonstrated ability to engineer and coordinate fast-track automation projects of this type."
Emerson's integrated solution includes its Syncade™ Smart Operations Management Suite, DeltaV™ digital automation system, and AMS Suite predictive maintenance software. Emerson will also provide related engineering services, including design, installation, testing, and commissioning.
"Typical biotech manufacturing can involve thousands of pieces of paper that can affect the ability to produce 'right-first-time' batches," said Lorenzo Zampini, automation project manager. "With Emerson's integrated operations management and control systems, we can automate the reporting process as well as gain tighter process control for increased productivity and smoother regulatory compliance."
