Fauna in the World of Avatar
this wiki
A vast range of fauna inhabit the World of Avatar; most of the animals presented are notably chimeras or crossbreeds of two real world animals. There are certain exceptions though, such as Kuei's pet bear, Bosco, the herbalist's cat, Miyuki, or the messenger hawk.
There are several distinct habitats in the Avatar World, suitable for different animals and plants.
Foggy Swamp
Due to the wet climate and abundant vegetation, the Foggy Swamp plays host to a large variety of fauna. Hundreds of living things are densely packed into the swamp; this includes glowflies, elbow leeches, screeching birds, and catgators.[1]
Great Divide
The Great Divide has various species due to an arid climate. This unique area is home to certain creatures, such as the canyon crawlers.[2]
The low temperatures in both the Northern and Southern Water Tribes do not allow for much fauna to thrive. However, there are some animals that have adapted to the cold environment, such as otter penguins, tiger seals, polar dogs, polar bear dogs, and buffalo yaks.
Si Wong Desert
The Si Wong Desert has the driest, hottest climate in the world. The desert's ecosystem primarily consists of a few scavenger species such as the gilacorn, predatory insects known as buzzard wasps, giant rhinoceros beetles, which are used for transportation, scorpions, and jackalopes.[3]

Russia, 2013, 77 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Drama, Social Issues
Program: Contemporary World CinemaLanguage: Russian English Sub-Titles
The ironically titled A Long and Happy Life tells the story of a city boy who has disastrously decided to become a farmer but is about to be booted from his land. Young Alexander, a.k.a. Sasha, has relocated to an ailing village in a remote area of Russia and leased a farm. His sense of duty to his farmworkers proves to be his undoing when the local government's land administration office demands he give up his plot of ground. Initially, he imagines moving back to civilization with his pretty girlfriend, Anya, who has arranged for him to get a healthy chunk of compensation in the deal. But the men who are essentially his serfs beg him to stay. Moved by what seems to be innocent loyalty on their part, Sasha decides to take a stand against local officials, only to discover he's in this battle all alone, cheated in more ways than one by his former employees. A violent end awaits him, and the miserable Sasha can see it coming. He has meant to do the right thing all along, but ultimately he will pay a steep price for his good intentions.
A short, High Noon-inspired tale of the bleak-chic school of filmmaking, A Long and Happy Life draws power from its handheld style and simple circumstances, like the potato harvest hanging in the balance and the river forever splashing just outside Sasha's windows. The fifth outing by writer-director Boris Khlebnikov (Help Gone Mad), the film debuted at the 2013 Berlin Film Festival.

While sleeping on a friends couch this morning I awoke to a heavy knock at the door. This usually means Florida Power and Light is here to cut the power so I answered the door and prepared to get everyone to scramble around until we had enough to pay it, but it was this goofy red headed fella.
Him: "What's your name?"
Me( very sleepy): "what?"
Him(very angry): "What's your name!?!?"
Me(very sleepy and slightly agitated): "Mikey, who the fuck are you?"
He pushed me out of the way and three more guys came around the corner right into the place, refusing to provide a warrant, or a name. They all had guns, and badges, but they didn't look like cops. They were wearing regular clothes, with black "Police" shirts. Two of them had lots of tattoo's and one had his lebret pierced, which I found odd.
They claimed to be looking for this kid Justin who lived with us years ago, he has a warrant out for stealing a drink from the grocery store. Anyways, they ransacked us, insulted us, and wouldn't provide any info. They sat there and insulted us for twenty minutes before leaving. This one guy kept saying "flop house" and "floppers" but that was the only funny part. Turns out they are indeed real cops, because our neighbor was arrested by them after they did something similar and found pot in his house. So I can get their names...
but realistically, is there anything to do about this? Aren't I pretty much powerless? Will a complaint only agitate a retaliation? I know the best way to deal with police is to say nothing that you don't absolutely have to, but I'd looove to hear any sucessfull stories involving reconciliation and justice. I just have a feeling there won't be many, if any.

Irving'e karşı Lipstadt
Holocaust Denial on Trial, Trial Judgment: Electronic Edition, by Charles GrayTable of Contents
|< Introduction
|Irving's response >
The case for the Defendants
5.232The Defendants maintain that this amounts to an admission by Hitler that had used inhumane means to remove (that is, to kill) the Jews. They contend that Irving obfuscates the true sense of what Hitler was saying at p631 of Hitler's War (1977 edition). Irving there prefaces his quotation from Hitler's speech with the comment that Hitler was speaking "in terms that were both philosophical and less ambiguous". He writes that Hitler was speaking of the reasons why he had "expelled" the Jews. The Defendants argue that by these devices Irving sought to blunt the significance of the reference by Hitler to the "extirpation" of the Jews.

It means to be a leader. Take good shots only. Look to make your team better and to win. Take control of the games thaT Might be slipping away. Lead your team to victory. Being an immature player is taking bad shots, turning the ball over.
It means to be a Leader and pass the ball and dont always do it by yourshelf.
To be a mature basketball player means to:
Have great sportsmanship. If you win, act like you deserved it, by not letting your emotions run wild, and laughing at the team you just beat. If you lose, don't throw a temper tantrum. Losing is a humbling experience, and you should learn from it. What could you have done better? Shoot more? Pass more? Don't be negative. Players get upset that they made a bad play, and they worry about the rest of the game, which they usually do worse. Just play the game. There are so many possessions in basketball, one mistake won't bring your team down. But, your attitude can, and attitude is a virus that can affect anyone, no matter what you do.
Playing your role. If you're a center, don't grab a rebound, and not outlet your point guard. It doesn't make sense. Neither does being a point guard, but not passing the ball to anyone. Play your role, and within yourself. Bring something new to the team, whether you're a center or PG. Develop blazing speed, or a nice set of post moves. Playing your role can also mean the difference between getting the minutes you want, or being at the end of the bench pouting, and wondering why you're not playing in the biggest game of your life!
Be coachable. Don't talk back to the coach negatively if they tell you to go stand somewhere. Don't give them attitude. Let them instruct. If you don't understand, or you see something inside the play that could be an easier way, let him know. I do this a lot during practices. If we're running a play, I make sure to run it first, and when I get off, I watch every position. If I don't understand a certain part, I'll ask, whether it's the Freshman coach, JV coach, or Varsity coach. Be a student of the game by learning from your basketball teacher, who is most likely, willing to help you.
Don't care about how many minutes you get. Certain players get more minutes because of there skills. If you feel you could be making an impact, then ask your coach what you can do to get it. What should you work on to get better? When you figure it out, work religiously on it, and better yourself. Work hard in practice, and when you do get your minutes, play your role. Do what you do best whether it's scoring, passing, or grabbing rebounds. Coaches love players that are multi-dimensional, and that could do it all. Example, Lebron James. He can score, he can pass, and he can grab rebounds. He's the most versatile player in the game, and he's only 25. But don't be mistaken that you can't do what he does. He's a student of the game who is always learning, and he practices hard.
The most important, be a good teammate. This could fall in the leadership role as well. It could be on and off the court. If you know you have a game on Thursday, but a few of your teammates decide to go to a party that doesn't end until 2 A.M. in the morning, tell them that they shouldn't go. Let them know that they are a family. And, as a team, they should all be focused on tomorrow's game, and not out partying, which could negatively affect their play, cause some chemistry problems, and what teams try to avoid the most: A LOST ON THERE RECORD!!!!!!! Or, if someone on your team can't get a move down, help him out. Show him how to do it. Be a good teammate, and let him know. If someone is ball hogging, let them know. If you make a bad pass, and they give you a bad stare, then let them know you got them next play. Or, if they miss a layup, let them know that it happens, and that they'll get the next one. Being a leader and a good teammate is uniquely similiar.
A mature basketball player plays his hardest, and doesn't complain whatever playing time he is given. He works hard every day at practice, and even harder in games. He is a good sport, and is coachable, and coaches love it. And, don't forget you have a duty in the classroom as well. If you see a friend even goofing off, tell him to finish his work first. Those little things can help you grow as a more mature person and player. You'll be more disciplined, which will help you in school and on the court.
Take these tips and apply them, and not only will you be a more mature basketball player, you'll be a better student-athlete!
A lot of the way a player is judged on how mature they are is based on their decision making. If they take poor shots, or turn the ball over a lot, then that leads to a lot of questions about that player. Also being mature on the basketball court means being a good leader, and helping out teamates, and constantly pushing your team to new heights.
Be a leader, make smart plays, and don't show emotions.
Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard.
- Kevin Durant
it means that you are a smart hardworking player.it can also mean that able to take tough calls and not throw tempers. also it means that you share the ball and is not just worried about your stats.i jus means you are a sport.
It's about leadership: reminding your teammates to stick to the gameplan, calling them to hustle harder for the ball on rebound, getting back on defense to your side of the court before your opponents do.
It's about brotherhood: motivating your mates when the score gap is widening, pulling your mates away from scuffles when the game gets scorching hot, offering a hand to an opponent who fell onto the woodwork.
Finally it's about generousity: giving up the ball to a teammate for the open shot, shielding your teammate's marker so that he gets the basket easily, and (in non-competitive games), giving your place to one of the boys waiting on the bench for a chance to be on court.
to be a mature basketball.player is to be a leader and make great plays for your team.also take the right shots at the right time.
Great players are great leaders.Miamiheatboy

Labor and Environmental Groups Launch a Green Jobs Campaign
April 16, 2008
The United Steelworkers (USW), the Sierra Club, and the Natural Resources Defense Council launched a national campaign on April 8 to promote renewable energy. The Green Jobs for America campaign will highlight the potential to create more than 820,000 new jobs throughout the United States through a greater commitment to renewable energy. In addition to encouraging renewable investments from the private sector, the campaign will emphasize the kinds of policies that are needed to fight global warming and expand clean energy production. The Blue Green Alliance, a strategic partnership formed by the USW and the Sierra Club in 2006, is also participating in the campaign.
The Green Jobs for America campaign will run through mid-September, focusing on twelve states—Florida, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Virginia, and Wisconsin—that stand to gain nearly 170,000 new jobs in wind turbine manufacturing as well as nearly 93,000 new manufacturing jobs making the parts for solar power equipment. Teams from the participating organizations will undertake grassroots organizing, conduct a series of public events, gather signatures on petitions, and release independent studies highlighting the potential for tens of thousands of new green jobs in each state. See the Sierra Club press release.
The Blue Green Alliance has also teamed up with the Alliance for Climate Protection, a nonprofit organization, in an effort to educate the 850,000 members of the USW about climate change. The program will be the first of its kind to build a blue-collar constituency for climate change solutions, highlighting the opportunities for high-paying domestic jobs in renewable energy, clean technology, and "green" manufacturing, while also explaining the environmental and economic risks associated with climate change. The effort is part of the "We Campaign," launched by the Alliance for Climate Protection to emphasize the potential for renewable energy and energy efficiency to help mitigate climate change. See the Blue Green Alliance press release (PDF 160 KB) and the We Campaign Web site. Download Adobe Reader.

I see that the new version of QCAD has a lengthly list of items under Examples in the main menu. The Reference Manual does not appear to have any mention of these examples and their functionality. I opened the .js files, but there aren't really any comments in there to help.
The QCAD Application Framework pages have some tutorials, but don't list all of them included in Examples.
Is there some documentation somewhere that explains all of the examples, what they do and how they do it? I'm working on a big project and these are a great place to start.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

This isn't crazy, or terrifying: alongside Robert Draper's GQ piece on Donald Rumsfeld being called out by former colleagues, they're running covers of his White House morning defense briefings. You have to see these.
Draper notes that the briefings were "a daily digest of critical military intelligence so classified that it circulated among only a handful of Pentagon leaders and the president; Rumsfeld himself often delivered it, by hand, to the White House." You have to wonder: was Rumsfeld sitting over a well-to-do Department of Defense intern, going through loads of pictures and trying to decide what colors he wanted which quotes to be? Or did he do it himself? Either way, these things have more in common with the Zodiac Killer than anything any kind of defense briefing should even remotely look like. Graphic designers, turn away. These aren't pretty, in so many ways.

TRUCKEE, Calif. - A national organization that works to protect nearly extinct species has filed an appeal regarding the proposed two-megawatt Cabin Creek Biomass Energy Facility, a Placer County official confirmed Wednesday.
The Center for Biological Diversity submitted the appeal after the Placer County Planning Commission approved a conditional use permit and certified the project's final Environmental Impact Report on Dec. 20, said Brett Storey, Placer County project manager for the biomass facility.
The Placer County Board of Supervisors will hear the appeal in either February or March, Storey said.
The appeal is based on the EIR's inadequate analysis on potential greenhouse gas emission amounts and the facility's potential ripple effect on area forests and forest management, said Kevin Bundy, senior attorney for the Center for Biological Diversity, Wednesday morning.
He added the center's main concern is that correct environmental information is used during the decision-making process for the biomass facility.
The Center for Biological Diversity's main offices are in Tuscon, Ariz., with numerous field offices throughout the United States, the closest of which is in San Francisco. Learn more about the center at www.biologicaldiversity.org.

Hi all,
I've looked throught the forum but I couldn't find a solution for my problem.
Whenever I try to play videos on PS3 using PMS(v1.10.51) it just shows "The data is corrupted" error, except for avi files.
I'm using Windows Vista Home Premium 32bit with Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T9400 2.53GHz and 2GB memory and my network connection is Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100.
I've installed ffdshow(rev.2812) and Haali Media Splitter (v22.214.171.124), then both TVersity and PMS.
PSM plays avi files fine but it doesn't work when trying to play avi with external subtitle(srt), and mkv and ogm are no good as well. All the files that can't be played with PMS play fine with TVersity.
There seems to be some problem with transcoding (same avi file doesn't play when played from #--TRANSCODE--# folder) using Mencoder(that's what I'm using), but this is wierd coz I could play the same files on PMS without problem with exactly same setting before reinstalling the OS.
PMS is a great MS and I really want to use PMS to play mkv with embedded subtitles, so please could someone help???

U.S. Dist. Court reluctantly upholds judgement for costs to disabilities group suing bagel shop over accessibility
I might well have reached a different conclusion in this case if I had reviewed this matter de novo. Viewed with the benefit of hindsight, it is quite clear that this is a trivial dispute that could have been avoided if counsel on both sides had worked co operatively to solve the problem. While the Magistrate Judge�s fee award in this case was not clearly erroneous, the Disability Rights Center is not free from blame.

Ohh la la..just look at cute little Daisy Cruz! Just look at that bright smile! Does she look like she is having fun? You bet..because she is! This girl loves the camera. She loves knowing all of you are watching her, lusting after her. Lusting after that perfect little body. Such big titties and of course a nice smooth pussy. Enjoy Daisy, she wants you to!
Cute Daisy Cruz has never tried the Sybian before, but thinks it looks like a lot of fun. The beauty strips off her casual clothes and braces her feet as she lowers her slick little pussy right down over the cock. Her long hair gets moved around as she touches her boobs and rocks her body to orgasm. This is definitely a video to get off to as it isn't hard at all to imagine that you are the one that Daisy rides so well!

In the JV Homecoming game, the JV Bulldogs fell to the visiting Oroville Tigers. With 8:14 left to go in the half. Oroville running back James Jones took the ball in for the score. The PAT was unsuccessful, however, when #24 Colton Graff blocked it.
Jones saw some more after with under a minute to go left in the game when he intercepted the ball from Bulldogs' QB Grayson Wedin and returned it up the sideline with 0:44 left in the half. The Tiger swent for two and were successful.
The second half of play started out very slow, until the Tigers sprung another touchdown in with 6:10 left in the game.
With the clock ticking down, the Bulldogs' Junior Angel took it upon himself to throw would-be tacklers off him and marched 43 yards in the end zone. The PAT attempt was successful; however, it would not be enough to win the Bulldogs' homecoming match.
This week, the JV and Varsity Bulldogs' go on to play the Power House Sutter Huskies at home.

Lawyer hired by NC in spill probe represented Duke
Published: Monday, March 24, 2014 at 3:12 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, March 24, 2014 at 3:12 p.m.
RALEIGH, N.C. — The lawyer hired to represent North Carolina's environmental agency during a federal investigation into its regulation of Duke Energy's coal ash dumps previously represented the utility company in a different criminal probe.
The state Department of Environment and Natural Resources has hired Mark T. Calloway of Charlotte to help respond to 20 grand jury subpoenas the agency has received following the Feb. 2 spill at Duke's Eden plant that coated 70 miles of the Dan River in toxic sludge. Duke has been issued at least two subpoenas.
Calloway represented Duke in a 2004 federal investigation into the company's accounting practices. Duke was cleared of wrongdoing.
Environmental agency spokesman Drew Elliot says he sees no conflict of interest in Calloway's prior representation of Duke.
Legal experts say the arrangement likely doesn't violate ethics rules.

CORPUS CHRISTI – The women's basketball team reached out to the community on Saturday, participating in two events. On Saturday morning, the team along with the track and field team was among the thousands that took part in the third annual Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk. The team walked the event in pink uniforms.
"The Making Strides Against Breast Cancer Walk allows our players a chance to support and raise money for a cause near and dear to so many people across the Coastal Bend," assistant coach Geoff Grawn said. "Our players look forward to this event every year because they truly understand the magnitude of the cause they are walking for."
In the afternoon, the team headed over to the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) to take part in the YWCA Reading Rally, marking the Islanders 10th year volunteering at the event. As part of the rally, the student-athletes interacted with young girls and stressed the importance of reading and how it has influenced their goals and career paths in life. The event also allowed the team to showcase their creative sides in helping the children make arts and crafts.
"The Reading Rally is a wonderful event that discusses the power of reading and education to area young girls," Grawn added. "Our involvement over the past 10 years allows our players a chance to interact with the young girls and discuss with them firsthand how they became Islanders.
"The goal behind the event is to empower these young girls into becoming whatever it is they put their minds to and through reading, learning and staying in school they can become the next Islander, pilot, teacher etc."

Monday was a good afternoon for the Carthage boys tennis squad, at least before the weather turned.
The Tigers won five of six singles matches and the only doubles match played to defeat visiting Thomas Jefferson 6-1 in Carthage.
"The kids picked it up and they played much better than they did last week," Carthage head coach Bob Whyte said. "I think they got some of their nerves out of the way after a little more practice."
Richard Perry rolled to an 8-1 win in No. 1 singles against Frank Cascone, Brandon Splitter won 8-3 against Preston Carpenter in No. 2 singles, Eli Dickerson claimed an 8-2 victory in No. 4 singles against Levi Vasquez, Sawyer Bacon earned an 8-5 win against Joe Scott in No. 5 singles and Jacob Kunard was dominant in the No. 6 match, beating Michael Joseph 8-0.
Perry and Brandon Splitter defeated Cascone and Carpenter 8-1 in No. 1 doubles.
"You can start at the top and work your way down," Whyte said. "Richard Perry stepped up and played a very solid match at No. 1 and it was nice to see Brandon Splitter get his first win of the year at No. 2. Eli Dickerson played another really good match for us. He did a good job figuring out what he needed to do, he found a plan and executed it. It was nice to see Sawyer Bacon play better, too, and Jacob Kunard was very impressive for us today. He was hitting the ball with confidence and I've been looking for him to step up and do that."
The Tigers will travel to Republic Wednesday for a makeup match after it was originally rained out. Carthage will then travel to Nevada on Thursday, but the team will be without four of its top eight players both days as those players participate in SkillsUSA.
"It's going to be a little bit of a challenge for us," Whyte said. "It's why you want more than six players. You've got to have some depth because there are times when kids have things to do. When they're successful like that in more than just your sport you're happy for them."

Gheens festival to draw thousands
Published: Thursday, June 5, 2014 at 9:54 p.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, June 5, 2014 at 9:54 p.m.
A 40-year tradition of good food returns Friday night with the Gheens Bon Mangé Festival.
The festival, which runs through Sunday at the Vacherie-Gheens Community Center in Gheens, usually draws about 3,000 people, said Hollie Lapeyrouse, community center board vice president .
Most visitors hail from Louisiana, but some travel from across the country to attend the free event.
Bon Mangé means "good food" in French. But the festival also features drinks, music, carnival rides and three live auctions.
Festival-goers may purchase favorites including chicken and sausage gumbo, red beans and rice, spaghetti and meatballs, and jambalaya. But new food items, including shrimp and catfish po-boys, are also on the menu, Lapeyrouse said.
There will be live performances by Ruff N Ready on Friday; The Gary T Band, Pot 2 La and Halifax on Saturday; and The Members Only Band on Sunday.
Auctions will take place at 8:30 p.m. Saturday and 2 and 5 p.m. Sunday.
Auction items include LSU and Saints-themed rocking chairs, boiling pots, fishing poles and lamps.
There will be raffle prizes that include $300, $200 and $100 donated by the community center.
Other raffle prizes include a hand-quilted baby blanket donated by The Merry Quilters, a 150-pound live pig donated by Ramsey and Marcie Keller, one bushel of medium crabs donated by Yogi G's Seafood and a $50 gift card to Outback Steakhouse donated by Alumni Medical.
Tickets will be available throughout the weekend, and the drawing will be held Sunday.
On Saturday, presenters will introduce the Gheens Bon Mangé royalty for 2013-14.
The royalty include Laila Andras as Junior Miss Gheens Bon Mangé XXII, Carli Lambert as Teen Miss Gheens Bon Mangé XXVI, Jami Brown as Miss Gheens Bon Mangé XXVI, Nicole Legendre as Ms. Gheens Bon Mangé IX and Peter Dominique as the Gheens Bon Mangé King.
Former queens also will assist in the festival by serving food and drinks, handing out raffle tickets and presenting auction items.
"The queens travel throughout the year, and they mingle with the community at the festival," Lapeyrouse said.
Lambert, 18, said she attended the event in previous years and is excited to celebrate the festival for the first time as royalty.
"When I went before, it was great seeing the queens. They have a huge role in the festival," she said. "All the queens have worked hard to bring people in. It's going to be a good time."
The festival also helps local residents.
"All proceeds from the festival go back into the community," Lapeyrouse said.

|Heather and Chris observe a
timeless tradition
Weddings are tricky to execute, because no detail, however small, can be overlooked. Fortunately for me, Heather was very clear about how she wanted her special day, and it took no more than a few meetings and emails to set the plans in motion. Armed with my lists, I was assisted by a competent team: husband, Tom, daughter, Nikki and friends, Joanne and Heidi. Together, we ensured that the wedding went off without a hitch.
|Almost ready for the toast
|The end of a happy day
My friend, Heather, got married this weekend to a great guy, and Tom and I wish them many years of happiness.
... and so the adventures continue ... join us.

Download speed depends 99.9% of the seeders connection.
The difference in torrent apps today is the features (and UI). Transmission is the best without a doubt.
What really is pissing me off right now is (in version 1.76) the LIMIT UPLOAD SPEED not working! When you open a website, you send a request, and if 100% of your upload bandwidth is being used, the website will take LONG to open! Now I can't browse while having Transmission open! Let's wait for the next update.
I thought I'd revisit this app after upgrading to Snow Leopard and finding that Azureus 184.108.40.206 won't open files/run correctly. I also tried µTorrent ( µ ) so this is a comparison with that.
Firstly, I think that Transmission ( T ) has a better interface and µ appears to have ripped it off!!! (even down to the icons in the prefs menubar). More importantly, T has many more features and also runs in 64bit mode (which µ can't do, only 32bit for that).
The main features different to µ include the ability in T to use the bluetack blacklist to ban bad traffic - essential for any good torrent app imho. Other nice features include the ability to selectively download individual files easily (I think you can do this in µ but only by going into the torrent's info after it's started up). The autosize window feature in T is also great imo (it's the little things that stand out)…
â¦What about resource usage? About the same CPU for both but more ram usage for T for me (39Mb vs 11Mb) but than again, as mentioned it runs natively in 64bit. Besides, on a new mac, resource usage for both is still negligible compared to, say, Azureus/Vuze.
Finally (& most importantly) how about speed? I chose a 100Mb Audio torrent with >5000 seeds and about 500 peers and downloaded with both. I made sure both apps had identical settings (even down to specifying the same port mapping) and ran the torrent twice, one after the other.
I found that µ took 2min start to finish and T took 2.5min. After looking closely at that, I found the extra 30sec was on startup with T (whereas µ started the download almost immediately). If timed from the moment download traffic appears, then they are the same. I think the slower start may be T loading up the bluetack filters? â¦but I think these are essential so don't mind the extra first 30sec (and on a bigger file it'll be negligible)â¦
â¦In summary, T has more features, a better UI, can utilise blacklists and runs natively as 64bit in 10.6; A uses less memory and is slightly faster to start up.
I've since switched back to Transmission (bye bye Azureus ).
1.75 is highly unstable on Snow Leopard. It crashes often
Indeed, with the addition of DHT support in version 1.7, there's no longer any need to use uTorrent or Vuze etc. to download those difficult torrents. The minimal interface here is simply OS X heaven, yet the preferences and group support allow savvy users to get exactly the behaviour they want 99% of the time.
Finally, DHT support in 1.70! Hooray for Transmission team!
Transmission 1.60 is very unstable, multiple crashes on torrents that work fine when running 1.52. Worst part is it freezes up entire OSX desktop (running latest updates on Leopard). I recommend staying at 1.52!
1.34 is the latest decent firmware. Anything later seems to drastically decrease download speeds. When I update to the latest version, I get 0-10kb/s and when I downgrade back to 1.34 it rockets back up to 200-500kb's. Weird.
Switched from Azureus/Vuze when I realized that I didn't need 50MB of bloat. Thanks osx.iusethis!

Q Once every couple of weeks when I am making a left turn from Castro Valley Boulevard to Strobridge Drive in the early morning heading north to Interstate 580, I will be sitting in the left-turn lane with a red arrow for five to ten minutes. During this time the light will cycle for all directions two or three times. What are my options?
Bob Weisman
Castro Valley
A So many have asked the same question so many times. What do you do now?
Q Since this occurs when there is little traffic, when it is clear with no cars coming from any direction, I carefully complete my left turn against the red. Would it be better to move across the intersection and merge right with the through green? Other than sitting for five to ten minutes waiting for a light change that never comes, how should this be handled?
Bob Weisman
An urgent page for Bruce-the-Roadshow-Traffic-Consultant and longtime motorcycle cop:
"It sounds like this reader is doing it right. Short of just sitting there until the baseball season is over, be very careful and make the left turn. Yes, I think it's added insurance to make the right on the through green. Bottom line is, if you cause an accident it's going to be on you, so be extra careful. Lastly, notify the authorities that there is a malfunction to the light. It should be cycling."
Q I saw something at a Giants game that just didn't seem right. The Giants have installed a handful of charging stations and EV spots in Lot A. They are just about as close to the ballpark as you can get.
We drove our Nissan Leaf up to a game from Palo Alto, and we were counting on a charge while we watched the game. But all spots were full of EVs -- not a big deal -- but some of the EVs parked in those spots WERE NOT EVEN PLUGGED IN. That strikes me as just plain wrong. If you don't need to charge, don't use the space.
Buzz Frahn
Palo Alto
A And ...
Q I've also seen the same thing at charging stations in the short-term garage at SFO. What gives? Do these people think owning an EV entitles them to act like jerks?
Buzz Frahn
A This is a growing issue at many parking lots. Experts say that at private lots one charging station is needed for every two of their employees' electric vehicles.
Typically, parking folks do not intervene or admonish drivers in these situations, mainly because there could be a variety of reasons why the EV is unplugged. An example is that older charging units at SFO have one cord and one plug for charging. Many times the person who arrives first uses the charging cord and may have completed the charging process when a second vehicle parks in the adjacent EV stall.
The second vehicle takes the cord from the first and uses it on his vehicle because the first one is done charging (and in some cases before the first vehicle is done charging). Said Doug-the-SFO-Guy: "It wouldn't be right to penalize the unplugged vehicle for being in an EV stall and not charging."

Navigating the First 100 Days After Diagnosis
This post is by Lisa Goring, Autism Speaks' director of family services. Lisa lives in Manhasset, New York with her husband Paul and two children, Lindsey and Andrew.
"Your child has autism." 11 years ago this month, I heard those words, and it felt as if everything stood still. The pediatric neurologist kept on talking, but I honestly don't remember a word that she said. Autism?
And so like many parents before me and after me, our journey began. I called early intervention; I called therapists; I went on websites (there weren't that many 11 years ago) to help my son Andrew. I wasn't even sure what I was asking for – what exactly are ABA, occupational therapy and speech therapy? I had a lot to learn, and I needed to learn quickly – this affected my child!
11 years later, I have learned quite a bit. As the director of family services at Autism Speaks, as well as being a parent of a child with autism, I know how critical those first few months after a diagnosis can be. I also know how lost and isolated some families can feel. And I am so proud that we, at Autism Speaks, are able to provide families with the 100 Day Kit.
In working on the 100 Day Kit we wanted to make sure that we received input from parents of children with autism as well as autism professionals. When we were putting together the advisory committee for the original 100 Day Kit, we consulted with professionals that are clinically strong, but also those that understand the needs of the families. Those that believe in children with autism, and all that they can achieve. We thought it was important to be able to provide newly diagnosed families with access to the work of these professionals through this kit.
We also knew how much newly diagnosed families could learn from other parents of children with autism. I was always so grateful to the parents of children with autism who I reached out to. They would share their time, experiences, knowledge and resources and truly understood the challenges. And so we knew it was important to get the perspective of parents of children with autism as we developed this kit. We made sure that we included information from our parent advisory committee. We asked them to let us know what was helpful when they first got the diagnosis. What did they wish that someone had told them? And so we took their input and incorporated that into the 100 Day Kit.
I am so appreciative of the professionals and the parents of children with autism that were able to contribute to this kit and even more proud that we are launching Version 2.0. This new version incorporates so many amazing suggestions and comments we have received since we first launched the original kit. It reflects, even more than the original, the great advice that parents "who have been there" have shared. Every 20 minutes, a child is diagnosed with autism. When families first get the diagnosis of autism, it can be difficult. Our hope is that the new 100 Day Kit will provide families with a greater sense of hope, with resources, and information that will help make those first few months just a little bit easier.

Meth lab found in Salvation Army Opportunity House
February 27, 2013
PARKERSBURG — A Parkersburg couple were arrested Monday afternoon on felony charges relating to the manufacture of methamphetamine in the Salvation Army Opportunity House on Fifth Stree....
Caffine is an adictive substance and is actually classified as a drug. All be it isn't the most powerful drug nor illegal it is a drug. People use caffine to stay awake (like many other uppers) Also because it is classified as a drug is why the FDA required it to be removed from the legal Alcoholic. beverages because alcohol is a depressant (downer ) and caffine is a stimulant (speed or upper) the drinks were having a speedball type reaction on the user. I am not trying to be rude just explain that caffine is a drug (stimulant) also that it has deadly side effects. Look up Monster Energy drink deaths. There is nothing but heavy caffine in those that has caused overdose. If I remember correctly I also believe JOLT COLA was removed from the market for a few years due to death related incidents involving the drink and its double the caffine of any. other soft drink.

I am NOT standing up for them but obviously people dont know what happened to his son, Travis didnt "send" his son away his mom came and picked him up from out of states bc it was her turn for partcial custody. And no he is not 19 he is 35. And there is more then just one child suffering from this there is two families with children that are suffering bc of the decision that these two made. They will pay for what they did and so will the rest of the people involved.

My goodness!! Am I to assume the people that did not agree with my statement are presently or in the past hooked on drugs? Let me guess, you were the kids the "PUSHERMAN" approached on the school yard at a very young age. You know the man that's out to get children hooked on drugs. The invisible man that is. Because what idiot would think they could get rich off approaching 10 year old children that have not income other than from parents? How would that work? Mom I need 250.00 for an 8 ball? If you haven't been there you don't know and what would that make you for commenting on something you have no first hand knowledge??? Think about it :)

Forgiven I want to say you aren't completely wrong but drugs are not just drugs as a whole. Alcohol, caffine, and other legal substances are drugs but not as dangerous as meth in any way. Also I am a strong proponet of cannabis eventhough it is a schedule one drug the use of it has not ran people out of a home or landlords to lose their property to demolishion. No one has ever died from its mere use either. Please understand I am not trying to be rude but until we as a nation rethink drug policy. There will be no way to move forward and protect the public from real dangers.

wow crooked... you sure do seem to know a lot about meth and the different types.. that is absolutely disgusting that someone would basically "stick up" for these low lifes who produce/use meth, whether it is just for personal use or if they are selling it. meth is meth. period.

i am struggling with the ones that want to be specific on what kind of drug it was and who was wrong in calling it meth. i find that irrelivent.drugs are drugs and since i work in this field i see first hand the damage and distruction addiction does. Also having been raised in a fmaliy closely involved with a Salvation Army and i my self having voluntered many hours there i understand the purpose of the Oppertunity house and i have seen lives and families changed and saved bc of this wonderful "oppertunity" at a frest start. Salvation Army is strict on the no drug policy and they take many measures to inforce it.i feel sorry for the ones that say they are enabling this behavior by handouts and i hope that u all can re-evaluate a time in your life that u needed help or u struggled with something and how u felt and remember Jesus didnt die on the cross to save the perfect HE died on the cross to save sinners and im pretty sure this includes u sad judgement ppl too.

Wow defending a meth prodution that is low. Meth is not only deadly to those who use it but those exposed to the production. Then to think of the innocent people exposed and now homeless. I just cant believe how low some will go.

First and most important is that this is not methamphetamine. Real Methamphetamine has not been seen in the Parkersburg area in over 5 years. This stuff is what the authorities allow in Parkersburg since they know every and anyone that purchases a box of cold medication. It's controlled unlike real methamphetamine that say comes from out of state (uncontrolled). Between the sale of ephedrine and officers threatening people to snitch there isn't really much work for them to do. A shake and bake cook is not a meth lab simply because if the chemical structure even has the same molecular make up as methamphetamine it is "L" methamphetamine which is much weaker than the "D" methamphetamine.
1 Agrees | 14 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
It is a shame because this will put those people truly in need of help and who are willing to help themselves & follow rules in a bad light. Doesn't the making of meth do permanent "damage" to a structure? Making future residents sick etc? I hope everyone remembers that this couple is not ALL people who need a hand up. But to take advantage of the opportunity given to them in a time of need is just disgusting. I hope they throw the book at them. I feel bad for all the people trying hard and making the most of the opportunity house. I hope people won't paint them all with one brush because of the actions of 1 or 2. The fact that there is a child involved is just sad.

These are the results when society ENABLES alcoholics and Drug addicts. They don't need handouts and charity, they will only abuse this. Please don't anyone cry "They aren't bad people who need to be in jail. They are sick people with a disease called Alcoholism and Drug Addiction. They don't need to be in jail they need to go to the Fellowship Home or the Amity Center where they can get hubs, support and compassion." BOO HOO! These people need to go to prison, gets jobs, stop having kids and stop abusing themselves, others and the system.

This is another fine of example of the old phrase "You can't fix stupid". It is appalling that either one of them would take advantage of the generosity of so many. This man should be sentenced to hard labor for not only operating a drug lab but for sending his son away after using him to get in the place. Anyone can be called a father but it takes someone special to be called Dad.
And what in the world was she thinking? Why move into a free apartment with a bum who can't hold a job and is into drugs who gives his kid away. That's trying to find success in life, NOT.
Good job to the task force for another successful bust.

About the Book
"Katharine Ashe writes with eloquence and power."
—Lisa Kleypas
"You'll be swept away by Katharine Ashe's evocative writing."
—Sabrina Jeffries
Following her sensational debut novel, Swept Away by a Kiss, author Katharine Ashe was named one of the "New Stars of Historical Romance" by the American Library Association publication Booklist. With each new book she has proven them right—and never more so than with her novel How to be a Proper Lady. Continuing her phenomenal Falcon Club series, Ashe enchants with this tale of a woman kidnapped as a child by pirates and returned years later to her English family. She must now learn how to be a cultured lady...and to navigate the treacherous waters of love with the notorious sea captain who brought her, kicking and screaming, back to society. This is witty, emotionally rich, and wonderfully imaginative storytelling that readers of Lisa Kleypas, Eloisa James, and Johanna Lindsey will absolutely adore.
The Rules of Being a Proper Lady
1) Never take steps greater than six inches apart.
2) Never look boldly at a gentleman.
3) And never, ever, kiss a man who is not your fiancé.
But beautiful, bold Viola Carlyle doesn't care about the rules. And she desperately wants to kiss the notoriously tempting Captain Jin Seton, the man who brought her kicking and fighting back to English society. Kidnapped as a child, now she longs to return to that life of freedom where she was able to live—and love—as she wished.
Having hunted Viola for two years, Jin Seton has finally found his good luck—for, by finding Viola, his oldest, deepest debt will at last be paid. And although he has vowed not to let her win his heart, this very improper lady might finally be the one who tames him.
