Arabs Destroy 2.5 Acres of Vineyard in Samaria, Locals Say
Some 3,000 vines, situated near Shiloh in Samaria, were destroyed over the past few days, it was discovered this morning.
The vineyards are visited every few days during this season, so the precise time of the destruction is unclear.
The damage is estimated at 200,000 NIS.
Footprints leading to the Arab village of Kutzrah were discovered by IDF trackers during their initial investigation. About a year ago, a 1/4 of an acre was destroyed in the same vineyard.
"This morning we discovered the difficult scene of some 3,000 destroyed vines," Itamar Weiss, a worker at the vineyards, told Tazpit News Agency. "This is the fourth time this vineyard has been targeted in the past years."
Israeli Police said an investigation has been launched to discover the culprits.
Weiss said that residents "expect these crimes to be treated with the same force that crimes throughput the rest of Israel are treated and investigated."
This incident is one of many attacks apparently executed by Arabs against Jewish agriculture and farming in Judea and Samaria.
In the beginning of November 2012, Tazpit News Agency reported that a herd of some 400 goats was stolen from Avraham Hertzlich, a farmer from the Benyamin area.
An olive grove near Shiloh, owned by Erez Ben Sa'adon, was vandalized at around the same time. Many of the trees were uprooted or cut down, and the irrigation system was damaged.
About a month ago, 70 heads of sheep were stolen from a pen in Sussia.Aryeh Savir, Tazpit News Agency

Wavesby Fredric Raichlen
Sitting on the beach on a sunny summer day, we enjoy the steady advance and retreat of the waves. In the water, enthusiastic waders jump and shriek with pleasure when a wave hits them. But where do these waves come from? How are they formed and why do they break on the shore? In Waves, Fredric Raichlen traces the evolution of waves, from their generation in the deep ocean to their effects on the coast. He explains, in a way that is readily understandable to nonscientists, both the science of waves themselves and the technology that can be used to protect us against their more extreme forms, including hurricanes and tsunamis. After offering a basic definition of waves and explaining the mechanics of wind-wave generation, Raichlen describes how waves travel, how they shoal (rise), how they break, and how they transform in other ways. He goes on to describe, among other things, the complicated sun-Earth-moon combinations that create astronomical tides (the high and low tides that occur daily and predictably); the effects of waves on the beach, including rip currents and beach erosion, and on harbors and shipping; and the building of breakwaters to protect harbors and bays. He discusses hurricanes, storm surges, and hurricane-generated waves. He offers a brief history of tsunamis, including Sumatra's in 2004 and Japan's in 2011, and explains the mechanisms that generate them (including earthquakes, landslides, and volcanoes). Waves can be little ripples that lap peacefully at the shore or monstrous tsunamis that destroy everything in their paths. Describing the science underlying this astonishing variety, Waves offers a different kind of beach reading.

Anticipated and Repeated Shocks in Liquid Markets

This paper examines how anticipated and frequently repeated shocks are absorbed in liquid financial markets. We show that Treasury security prices in the secondary market decrease significantly in the few days leading up to Treasury auctions and recover shortly thereafter, even though the time and amount of each auction are announced in advance. The issuance cost to the Treasury Department is estimated to be between 9 and 18 basis points of the auction size, or over half a billion dollars for note issuance alone in 2007, most of which can be attributed to the price pressure effect around auction days. These results are linked to dealers' limited risk-bearing capacity and the imperfect capital mobility of end-investors, highlighting the important role of market frictions even in very liquid financial markets.

Why didn't Renee Zellweger sing the Chicago number?
In the movie, Best Song nominee "I Move On" is performed by Zellweger and Catherine Zeta-Jones. Yet Zellweger decided weeks before the ceremony that she wasn't going to perform on the telecast. "(Renee) wanted her night to be about celebration, not about work," says Chicago director Rob Marshall. "She had family in town." Fortunately, Queen Latifah was happy to take her place. In the two weeks leading up to Oscar night, she rehearsed about eight hours a day with Zeta-Jones.
Who was the 'friend from Queens' that Best Actor Adrien Brody singled out in his acceptance speech?
Brody gave a shout out to his childhood pal Tommy Zarobinski, a specialist with the U.S. Army's 773rd transportation company, currently stationed in Kuwait. "We grew up together," says Brody, who attended LaGuardia High School for performing arts in Manhattan with Zarobinski. "We've been friends forever. I mean what I said. I hope he comes back okay. I am thinking about him." Zarobinski's mother, Ada, was moved by Brody's speech. "To hear Adrien talking so beautifully like that on a night that was so big for him, it was a lot of happiness for us," she told PEOPLE. "I never thought he would mention my son. Adrien's a very good-hearted person." Adds Zarobinski's sister Kelli-Ann: "Adrien is Tommy's best friend. After all this publicity and all the movies, he never forgets my brother. He's a stand-up guy."
When Colin Farrell introduced Best Song nominees U2, what was it that he said in Gaelic?
Irish actor Farrell gave a tip of the hat to his countrymen by saying, "Go raibh mile maith agat. Agus anois U2!" Translated: "A thousand thank-yous. And now U2!"
Where was Eminem?
Best Song winner "Lose Yourself" from 8 Mile was the only number not to be heard during the telecast. That's because weeks before the show, Eminem had turned down an invitation to perform his hit before Hollywood's elite. "He's running a record label and he needed a break," said Eminem's songwriting partner Luis Resto, who accepted the award. "But he will be very overjoyed that he won, believe me. It means a lot to him." As for why another performer didn't come on to do the song in Eminem's stead, Vilanch says he wanted rapper Queen Latifah to fill in but she declined since she was already committed to the Chicago number.

Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
The EC approved expanded use of Eisai's once-daily epilepsy drug Zonegran® (zonisaminde) to include monotherapy against partial seizures (with or without secondary generalization) in adults with newly diagnosed epilepsy. The drug had previously been approved as adjunctive therapy.
Approval in Europe for the monotherapy indication was based on a trial in 583 newly diagnostic adult partial epilepsy patients that demonstrated the safety and noninferiority of once-daily zonisaminde compared with twice-daily controlled-release carbamazepine monotherapy in terms of seizure-free response rates at six months. "Zonegran is already a successful, once-daily add-on therapy for patients with epilepsy," comments Bettina Bauer, head of EMEA epilepsy business unit at Eisai Eruope. "Zonegran is one of only six anti-epilepsy drugs available as monotherapy."
Also today Eisai confirmed that the EMEA has accepted for review its application for approval of Zonegran as an adjunctive therapy for pediatric patients aged six years and over with partial seizures. The firm is developing Zonegran in Europe under license from Dainippon Sumitomo Pharma. Sales of the drug in Europe were JPY 4.5 billion (about $60 million) in fiscal year 2011, up from JPY 4.3 billion in 2010.

The welterweight title showdown between WBO champion Manny Pacquiao and and Joshua Clottey will be back on the air Saturday night. HBO will show the fight at 11 ET.
When HBO re-airs a highly publicized fight, there is usually a buzz among those who were unable to view the event live. There isn't much buzz surrounding this replay, with the possible exception of Pacquiao supporters.
Pacquiao came to fight Saturday night. Clottey seemed to have things on his mind, other than boxing.
It was believed that Clottey, a former IBF titleholder, would present Pacquiao his stiffest test at 147 pounds. An argument can be made that Clottey was his easiest opponent in the past two years.
For much of the 12-rounder, Clottey stayed in a defensive posture, while Pacquiao threw punch after punch. It wasn't a difficult fight to score as Pacquiao cruised to a lopsided unanimous decision.
Clottey's unwillingness to put up much resistance made for a rather dull night. Fortunately, Pacquiao did his best to entertain the nearly 51,000 onlookers at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Yes, the crisis is over...
Pizzaflation explains the deterioration of the US Dollar in something we all love; Pizza.
DB's balance sheet is 50% the size of Germany's GDP. By way of comparison, imagine if JP Morgan was a $9 TRILLION bank. That's effectively DB's status in Germany.
Recently Jan Hatzius cut his Q1 GDP as was reported first on Zero Hedge, to 2.5%, even as the Goldman chief economist is still (we give it 2 weeks) keeping his FYE GDP outlook constant (who says bulge brackets don't believe in hockeysticks). Following the just released ugly trade data which as we suspected would lead to even more GDP downgrades, Dudley's successor is out with yet another warning that should come as manna from heaven to those who continue to believe in non-dilutable assets: "Through February, the trade data suggest a large drag on GDP growth in the first quarter and suggest downside risk to our 2.5% forecast." Gee whiz, Jan, if Q1 when the bulk of the tax stimulus is concentrated (which was the reason for Goldman's December bullish 180 on the economy) is unable to post an economic improvement, what is left for the rest of the year, when no more fiscal stimulus is projected, and when, gulp, QE3 is ending? We can't wait to hear your explanation for this.
Goldman's Jan Hatzius, who whether he likes it or not, is probably the biggest variable as to whether there will be a QE3 or not, as every other Wall Street "strategist" immediately parrots what Hatzius says will happen (in no small part due to Hatzius' close relationship with NY Fed's Bill Dudley) has just released a hypothetical Q&A session in which he provides what potential answers to questions during Bernanke's first ever scheduled press conference on April 26 of this year might look like. In order to keep the dodecatuple reverse psychology mystery to a maximum, Hatzius also provides what Goldman's answers would look like pari passu with those of the Fed (which is not all than ironic: after all the Fed gets its teleprompted lines straight from the corner offices at 200 West). So for all forensic linguist/economist/psychologists who are hoping to get an extra ounce of informational clarity on the future of monetization post June 30, here it is. Good luck.
During his presentation to the Senate yesterday (to be followed promptly by another presentation before Congress shortly), Bernanke discussed the impact of the $61 billion spending cut on GDP. In doing so he referenced a report published by Goldman strategists Jan Hatzius and Alec Phillips. He did so incorrectly. And the first thing Hatzius did this morning is to correct the Chairman: "Some have wondered—e.g. in the Q&A portion of Fed Chairman Bernanke's monetary policy testimony on Tuesday—how such seemingly small cuts could have such a noticeable impact. But it is important to remember that we are talking about a hit to the quarter-on-quarter annualized growth rate of spending here, not about a hit to the level of GDP. For illustration, it is useful to go through a simplified version of the calculation underlying our estimates for the House-passed spending cut." Hatzius clarifies further: "We estimate that the $25bn cut in our budget projections reduces growth in Q2 by around 1 percentage point (annualized); this effect is already incorporated in our forecast that real GDP will grow 4% (annualized). In addition, we estimated that the $61bn cut passed by the House would reduce growth in Q2 and Q3 by 1½-2 percentage point (annualized) in Q2 and Q3. (In other words, relative to the assumptions currently embedded in our forecast, the House-passed package would imply an additional ½-1 percentage point drag on growth in Q2 and an additional 1½-2 percentage point drag in Q3.) Spending would then be maintained at that lower level thereafter, and the effect on GDP growth would dissipate quickly in Q4 and would be essentially neutral by 2012 Q1." So perhaps the Chairman will keep this in mind as this report is surely reference once again today.
Jan Hatzius is the bellwether of the sellside economist crowd. When he was bearish (2009), most were bearish, when he turned bullish (early half of 2010), everyone else followed suit. Then he turned bearish again (early August 2010) and convinced his friend and former co-worker Bill Dudley to launch QE2. Then, in December, he turned very bullish again. And now we are here. We expect Hatzius to be fake bullish for another 3 months max, at which point he will have no choice than to start telegraphing to Jon Hilsenrath that it is time for QE3. In the meantime, for those who are not too familiar with his work, here is an extended interview with Bloomberg TV, in which the GS head economist talks about Goldman's call for 18% gain in stocks this year as well as trends in jobs, inflation and other data indicators.
Ever since his transition from a critical, respected and objective economist to the third coming of A Joseph Cohen, Goldman's Jan Hatzius has become an increasingly irrelevant second fiddle-cum-broken record, and as such his observations have merited less and less attention. His latest spin piece on why the centrally planned US economy will grow within the parameters of "perfection pricing" is merely more confirmation of this sad transition. To wit: "2012 is still a long way off, and the uncertainty surrounding any forecast is large. But if we are right, the implications of this forecast are reasonably benign for the US Treasury market and very benign for the equity market. Indeed, our strategists expect only a moderate increase in 10-year Treasury note yields to 3¾% at the end of 2011 and 4¼% at the end of 2012, as well as an increase in the S&P 500 index to 1500 by the end of 2011." In other words: the debt-fueled Frankenstein of a Goldilocks monster, currently rampaging around on government-funded steroids, is really completely under control. It appears that all the gloves have come off in this last attempt to reflate the global ponzi, and sadly credibility once relevant, is now completely out of the window.
Jan Hatzius, whose recent conversion to an economic bull forced all the Wall Street sell side lemmings to follow suit (just like they did in August when he downgraded the GDP only to start pushing Bill Dudley's buttons for QE2 and ultimately getting it), disclosed earlier that QE 2.1, or an extension to QE2's $600 billion (excluding the $300 billion from QE Lite), is all but certain. After all Jan's calls for QE Lite in January 2010 are precisely what happened. It was also Jan who first demanded QE2 in September, and got that too. Which means that as we expected, the total amount of debt to be monetized this year (between QE lite, QE2 and QE2.1) will be about $1.6 trillion, or more than the entire budget deficit. Now what bond investors are wondering is what happens when the Fed starts unwinding: by now everyone knows how POMO works - buying USTs in the open market. Well, at some point in the next 2 years the Fed, which by then will have about $4 trillion in Treasury securities (assuming all MBS have been prepaid) will have to start selling this paper. Couple that with the $1.5 trillion in debt issuance by the Treasury, and soon America will be faced with the brick wall of such a supply deluge in paper that there will be no way to sell it without hiking rates into double digit figures. This, much more than any unfounded speculation of capital flows from equities to bonds, is what is starting to awake the US bond vigilantes.
It was only two days ago that Goldman upgraded its own bonus pool by saying the economy is now going nowhere but up, up, up. That lasted for 72 hours. Below is Hatzius' (first of many) mea culpa for finaly selling out: "A clearly disappointing report all around, with payrolls up much less than expected and the unemployment rate up. Although hours worked rose only 0.1% in November, this rough proxy for real GDP less productivity changes is tracking at roughly a 2½% annual rate. Flat wages coupled with the small increase in payrolls suggests very little wage and salary growth in November." We give the Goldman "strategist" 3 months before he starts beating the QE 3-666 drums again.
Goldman's Jan Hatzius, who after flipping his view on the economy in early August, and taking all of the street with him, has recently flopped back to a semi-optimistic outlook. What is amusing is that despite his suddenly far more bullish outlook, he, as well as the entire Goldman team, continue to call for $2 trillion in total QE2. Of course the two are completely at odds with each other, but hey - if it means 2011 will be another record bonus year, why leave something as irrelevant as logic stand in the way of that 3rd French Polynesian island. On the other hand, Hatzius is certainly not stupid, so in continuing with his rhetorical device of an hypothetical interrogation, today Hatzius releases his latest Q&A, this time focusing on the future of Quantitative Easing. What is most notable, is that as of today, the Dutch strategist sees the possibility for less QE2 post June, contrary to his recent missives which expected QE2 to continue until the full $2 trillion of expected monetary base "printing" was fulfilled. Then again, as Ireland has so aptly demonstrated today, at this point it is no longer a question of whether any economic policy is viable in the long-run. All that matters is for putting enough lipstick on the bankrupt global pig for another few months at a time, so that yet another sovereign constituency can foot the bills in what has become a rolling global bailout of country after country.
Here is Jan Hatzius' initial read on Bernanke speech. In a nutshell, Hatzius seems to believe that reading between the lines may mean Bernanke will not do QE2, and preserve some of the Fed's mystique, so that all those massive bond managers who get the Fed's data early appear to have a competitive advantage. Alas, they don't. And all those who believe the Fed at this point, now that fiscal stimulus is no longer an option and all out FX war has broken out, has any other option but to buy anything not nailed down, well, we would like to point them to the 9 upcoming POMO monetizations over the next 4 weeks. What is most troubling is that the market has now priced in not only that, excluding some intraday volatility especially on OpEx days, but the expansion of Fed proxy buying of AAPL to $25 billion a week. Hatzius better hope that his attempt to restore some credibility to the Phantom of the Fed is grounded in reality. Because in the off chance he is right, buying a boatload of far OTM broad market puts on November 2 may well end up being the most profitable trade of the year, if not decade.
From Tungstenman Sachs: "Our view remains that the Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) will once again ease monetary policy via unconventional measures in late 2010 or early 2011. Our views have not changed, and today's comment discusses them in Q&A form. We believe that purchases of US Treasury securities cumulating to $1 trillion or more are the most likely cornerstone of the program; that the September 21 FOMC meeting is probably too early for a big announcement, but that November 2-3 is a possibility; and that it would likely "work" to a limited degree, perhaps boosting real GDP growth by a little under ½ percentage point per $1 trillion in purchases."
Goldman's Jan Hatzius explains why while he is still convinced that the Fed will ultimately have to undergo QE2, he presents the case why the Fed's hands are now most likely tied through its November 2-3 meeting (and why the J-Hole meeting will be a snoozer), at which point it will be too late for the market to benefit from monetary stimulus. The implication: very bearish for stocks, as Obama's only option for pumping up stocks in advance of the elections (monetary easing) is eliminated. With no means to implement a stock run up into the election (which would become a prompt self-fulfilling prophecy), the market is likely about to tumble.

What's With Whitney?
Whitney Houston's erratic behavior of late has been the cause of concern for her friends and relatives, reports this week's PEOPLE. Drugs are being suspected, despite denials issued by Houston and her publicist. "Dionne (Warwick) and Natalie (Cole) were going to talk to Whitney about her problem," a source close to the pop diva, 36, tells the magazine. "Natalie is really the voice of authority on this because of what she's been through with drugs. But they didn't talk to her." Since the beginning of this year, Houston has made headlines: she was caught at a Hawaiian airport with marijuana in her bag; she missed a salute to her mentor Clive Davis at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame; she was replaced on the Oscars and she gave a disjointed interview to a magazine. On Monday she is expected to perform at Arista Records' 25th anniversary party. All eyes will be on her.

Personal: Ultra-busy personal fitness trainer; owner and founder of EcoTrek Fitness, with outdoor workouts all over West Michigan. Married with one son. I try to ride my motorcycle as much as possible, and that requires heavy-duty planning (and packing) when it comes to fashion and being "appropriately dressed" everywhere I go.
Types of clothes I wear the most: I change my clothes two or three times each day, alternating between my fitness sessions with clients, marketing or committee meetings, school functions and athletic events. During the week, I'm wearing mostly workout clothes along with "business casual" — sometimes a mix of both! On weekends, I like my denim skirts, bare legs and knee boots the best.
Most useful wardrobe item and why: My comfy, black, low-rise workout skort! The shorts underneath keep me modest when I'm working out with tennies, but then the skirt part transitions well when I head to a meeting just by adding a vest, boots and scarf.
Fashion fetish: At first, I was going to say my shoe collection, but almost everyone has that fetish! I'm really into hats and often use my longer hair as an accessory, too. I also collect small vintage purses and I wear way more boots and unique coats than any girl should have.
Fashion tip: Wear clothes that fit and wear them confidently! It may be hard to let go of some of your old clothes that don't fit right anymore, but they're not doing your body justice. I especially enjoy seeing my fitness clients proudly sporting new outfits once they've reached their goal weight.
Best-ever fashion find: My custom-made black leather jacket and chaps from a leather shop in Grand Rapids. It's hard to find pants with a 35-inch or 36-inch inseam to accommodate my freakishly long legs and a lined leather jacket with sleeves long enough for my monkey arms. I couldn't resist having the fringe added to both, to match my hippie-girl motorcycle!
Worst-ever fashion experience: We had just arrived at a Griffins hockey game, and I was wearing my favorite red leather boots with the pencil-thin five-inch heels. There was a small gap in the brick walkway on the way into the arena, and one of my skinny boot heels stuck in the gap and broke off at the top. I duct-taped it that night (thanks, maintenance department!), but those boots are still tucked away in the back of my closet until I can find a shoe-repair person who can work some serious magic!
Best fashion advice you ever read or received: Many years ago, a fitness client told me that if she had my body, she'd be walking around in a swimsuit every day and that's what I should do! I didn't quite take it that far, but it's true that I work out hard, so I like to wear more fitted clothing. Why keep the rewards all covered under baggy clothes, right?
What celebrity best exemplifies your style, if any: I love it when people tell me I look or act like Cindy Crawford! Her life mirrors mine — down-to-earth supermom who started modeling when she was a teen, has always been fitness-oriented and evolved into a successful entrepreneur. (OK, we're the same except she's way more rich and famous than me, ha!) She always looks classy and carries herself confidently.
I feel best wearing my: Bright white stocking cap that my late Grandma Draft knitted for me. It's not just sentimental and functional, it's cozy and great to pull on when I'm in a ponytail mood. My mom knitted these trendy little fingerless mittens this season, too. Pretty hip!

Purchased this a couple years ago and have used it several times over. Love the detail. A bit small. Would love to see a larger version of something similar. All the same, fantastic little house.
While I did not make use of any of the valuable coupons associated with this product, it was a lot of fun to play! The item is basically a complex PDF document (use Adobe Reader), with point and click interactivity. Find the Eggs and gain coupons for actual products! Some eggs are easy, some are more difficult, some require solving puzzles to unlock.
Much more fun than "here's some coupons". I hope to see more of these sorts of items in the future!
Beautiful ship set.
Fabulous utility for playing scenarios in the Great Age of Sail.
But, I do not game in the Great Age of Sail.
4-star rating because it is beautiful but nearly useless for a fantasy setting.
Most races and nations in fantasy settings do not have gun powder weapons.
In the 'verse I play in, only one nation of humans and the dwarves (order & chaos) have such weaponry.
That means only 17% utility.
Now, what could change that would be one of two changes or many even both if I can be so bold.
1) Leave the weapon ports, but remove the cannons on both decks and let the purchaser fill in the mounts with ballista/trebuchets of their own.
2) Provide trebuchets for the open deck and ballista for the weapons deck.
Granted, you have provided ballista-like weapons on the fore-deck (or are they just harpoons) and a dragon fgurehead, but there does not appear to be any other fantasy touches.
Would love for you to do the changes specified.
Thank you otherwise for a beautiful ship.
large map
which may be difficult to print everywhere
results are very nice
details are interesting, not repetitiv
usable for many games.
one advice in general;
use a plastic sheet window in the same size (or an inch larger) to protect it
These are good stuff. We have tried several different methods for creating interesting multi level terrain and these models rank up there. The design is great with plenty of spots to place minis as they move up, down and across the hills. A few of these spots are at slightly too much of a slant and getting a mini to stay exactly where you want in these specific spots can be tricky. The textures provided are nice. However, after seeing some other products I would have like a few more customize options.
I am pretty much a newbie at paper modeling and I really didn't have any issues with these and would personally consider them "medium" difficulty. They are definitely more involved than a couple walls and a pitched roof and during the later stages of assembly it can take some Dexterity checks to get into the tigher spots to hold pieces while the glue sets but the DC isn't too crazy. (aside - I would NOT attempt these models with normal PVC unless you are into self toture, you really need a tacky glue that is going to set pretty quickly, I have done some simpler buildings with 'normal' glue but cannot imagine how you would do that with these)
All-in-all a solid product that is worth the money and time to build. I would definitely recommend but only wish there were a few more options to add a little more variety.
Looked cool, but I couldn't figure out how to use all the features and wasn't able to find the instructional video mentioned in the product details.
Hopefully I'll figure out what I'm missing and be able to use it!
Money well spent. Beautiful covers. My book really stands out in the crowd and I can't be happier.
There are enough options in size and the very high resolution of the covers and pages brings out the fine detail on each one. Great work, guys.
Again, absolutely AWESOME! and still pretty close to the best money I've spent on product at DTRPG! See my review for the Space Package. Lots of flexibility on use and licensing. I use these as a portfolio material for the Viking-based D&D game I play in. Only one negative comment. Contrary to popular belief, Viking helms, as the one depicted on the 3rd cover in the set of 4, do not have horns on them. Otherwise still extremely attractive if you don't care or are not a historical purist. Definitely looking forward to using these as covers for future personal projects and possible other uses. Professional looking and sized in Letter and A4.
AWESOME! Pretty close to the best money I've spent on product at DTRPG! Lots of flexibility on use and licensing. First thing I did was select one of the images to use as a banner for my web page. Will definitely look forward to using these as covers for future personal projects and possible other uses. Very attractive, professional looking and sized in Letter and A4.
Great product and outstanding support service.
I was having issue with the grid settings in Ground Set #1.
After written about my issue on this site, LZW contacted me and resolved my issue within hours.
The "Grids []" check box should be used to turn on/off grids within the pdf; and not the layers side bar.
A happy customer again. Good work!
I am using Ground Set #13 Winter Forest and this set to create a 60"x50" map for Frostgrave.
Looking forward to use the finished map for future tabletop games.
This is the second tank I've built (the first being the KV-1 in this series). A little practice goes a long way to making these tanks, and this one went together very quickly. Even though all the parts fit on one page, you still get to choose from two turret types and four texture options. It's a tiny tank! I made cutfiles for all the parts, so I could use my machine cutter to do that dirty work for me.
I seriously hope they continue this line of models!
I tend not to do a lot of detailed papercraft, and having seen other models that are 11 pages of parts, clearly this isn't the most detailed type of model out there. But, for me, it was pretty fiddly. The instructions could possibly have been a little clearer. The pieces could have been laid out differently maybe to make it easier to assemble. But, I built it, and it's gorgeous! There are four textures to choose on the tank, and it has two subtle variants of the turret you can build. The turret is removable, and turns.
I recommend tweezers, paperclips and other little tools that may help put pressure on tiny tabs in hard-to-reach places. I also struggled to find something that would let me roll up the gun barrel. It's quite small. In the end, I was able to roll the paper (I used heavy matte photo paper) around a chopstick to get a slight curve, then a nail, then a wooden skewer, and finally the nozzle of a can-of-air that I had in my office. That finally got it rolled up nice and tight.
I definitely plan on making the other tanks in the series.
I cannot overstate how awesome these templates are. I love using them. Everything I've made with them has gotten a very positive reception.
Interesting promotional item. Just sends you back to order one of their items.
while I loved the Halloween Coupon Book none of the coupon really worked for me

Right Track - Obamacare Costs
I'm grateful to my friend Bob over in Pennsylvania for this terrific explanation of Obamacare costs. It's from retiring senator Tom Coburn, himself a doctor.
"Hmmm, Obamacare, that's the program that Obama says we have 8 million new enrollees in…people who would not have not been insured before, right? 8 million less the 25% who have not paid premiums so the insurance is not in force…that's 6 million less the 5 million who we know for sure had insurance before but were displaced by Obamacare. So we are down to $1 million people who the government spent $138 Billion, as far as I can obtain the spending facts, to put their plan in place through might I add private insurers. So we spent an average of $138,000 per person to insure them with much smaller care networks, much higher premiums and much higher out of pocket expenses than either Medicaid or other assistance programs. This debacle is being touted as a success by this administration. That is why I am leaving Washington."

This became very popular in the late 60's when it was used as background to the movie Elvira Madigan. I never saw the film and having looked at the plot on Wikipedia, I don't think I'll bother - very depressing!

Right Track - Sequestration Part II
So the results of the sequestration are finally in. I thought things had been rather quiet on that front since various members of the left wing had forecast terrible events if we dared to cut any government jobs or programs. We heard estimates from 1.2 million jobs (Harry Reid) to 170 million (Maxine Waters!) I don't think we have 170 million actually working here anyway. Well, the Government Accounting Office (GAO) has just published its report on the number of government positions lost and it managed to find one. Yes, only one job was lost. Amazing after all the doom and gloom of total collapse that just one poor fellow in the Dept. of Justice was let go. Can we ever trust politicians with numbers?

Trevor's Tirade - VA Health Care
Is it me or has everyone gone crazy? We are in the midst of another "scandal" and this time it's to do with the Veterans Affairs hospitals. It seems that vets cannot get the healthcare that has been promised to them. There is talk of secret lists and long long waits. I saw a Major General (retired) talking about his difficulties. He had to wait months to be seen by a specialist for his complaint. He was able to take it to the very top of the Pentagon. But as he said how many could do that. No one has complained about the actual medical care once they get through the screen of paperwork and bureaucracy. Over eleven states are reporting that things are very bad with the VA. And yet the custodians of our society - the media - have totally failed to suggest that this gross inefficiency is the face of government run health care. Come on People!

In the TV detective series Jesse Stone, the hero played by Tom Selick is advised that when things get tough he should listen to Brahms. Now I took to Brahms quite late in life as I didn't like him early on. This is one of his Intermezzos, played by Glenn Gould who himself was quite an interesting character.

Koekkoek Okay After Injury Scare
A sigh of relief was heard today rom Tampa, Florida, to Peterborough, Ontario.
Slater Koekkoek, the Tampa Bay Lightning?s top pick (10th?overall) in this summer?s NHL Entry Draft, left last night?s Peterborough-Oshawa Ontario Hockey League (juniors) preseason game in the second period with an upper body injury. Koekkoek, a star defenseman for Peterborough, sustained a hit from Columbus prospect Boone Jenner and smacked his left shoulder into the boards. It was the same shoulder Koekkoek had surgically repaired last fall and caused him to miss the remainder of the regular season and playoffs.
Thursday was Koekkoek?s first game action since sustaining the injury last November.
Steve Yzerman, Tampa Bay?s general manager, took a risk and drafted Koekkoek based on Koekkoek?s impressive upside and the player being cleared by doctors before the draft. Today Yzerman called the Petes, his former junior club, to check up on his prized prospect.
As Yzerman was told, and both the Peterborough Examiner and Tampa Bay Times reported this afternoon, although Koekkoek left the game and was hospitalized for further evaluation, he only sustained a deep bone bruise. He is expected to miss ?a couple of weeks.?
Two weeks is certainly better than two seasons, which may have been the result had Koekkoek severely re-injured his left shoulder.
"It's not a serious thing, so I'm happy about that," Koekkoek told the Tampa Bay Times. "Obviously, it's tough. I worked so hard to get it back. But this isn't affecting (the surgical repair) at all."
"Sometimes you've got to get used to getting banged around and get that strength back," Yzerman told the Times. "He'll be alright in the long run."
Koekkoek was named captain of the Petes earlier this week ? an honor the NHL Hall-of-Famer Yzerman was never presented in his time with Peterborough. Koekkoek is expected to lead the club on and off the ice as a two-way defenseman with top-pair NHL upside ? as long as he stays healthy.
Koekkoek is ranked as the Lightning?s No. 2 prospect by BoltProspects.com.

Baseball Heckler
5 i's when the heckler said it. 4 i's when Hamilton said it. Makes me wonder what happened to the other i.
That's too funny!
However, the truth has to come from somewhere… 😛
She was just doing that for him. I mean, no one wants to go to a Cubs game.
Hahaha it's funny because that would imply people actually go to Cubs games XD
You funny Ryan.
P.S, are you guys from Chicago? Because I remember in the one about a guy watching basketball at the game, you used the Chicago Bulls, and now you're using the Cubs so what's next? A comic at a Chicago Bears game?
ha, that's right. total coincidence. Although, my dad's side of the family is all from Chicago.
meh. Not crazy about comics that depict violence against women. It sort of makes it seem lighthearted (not) and OK (NOT!!!)
For sure, Colleen. I like that you're able to not like some of our comics, but you don't cut us off. Thanks for your devout readership.
…. you guys have a pretty good BATTING AVERAGE overall.
How come Hamilton is right handed, but smacked her with his left hand? Hey! Did Hamilton really sign with the Cubs?!?! signed…Die Hard Cub fan
Switch hitter. 😉
Oh hey look. Domestic violence. Funny, right? XD
-_- Not funny.
The joke isn't domestic violence, the joke is taking heckling seriously. If you would calm the fuck down and view one bit of comedy without resorting to white-knighting, you would live a much happier life.
Spot on! 🙂
Your name is not as it suggest Dr. Moron.
If it is not about domestic violence / violence against women why did he beat her? He could have hit the dude that shouted, he could have gone to a divorce attorney… This comic IS about domestic violence because the author chose it to be.
Your logic: Domestic violence is a negative thing that exists, therefore nobody should joke about it.
I hope you're just trolling. Or else you're taking this comic as seriously as the baseball player does with heckling 😛
When did Andy Capp start playing baseball?
That player took things way too literally.
Maybe he's autistic 🙂
watch yourself rodge…not very P.C.
Wow! That guy's too gullible.

Mayoral hopeful Tonita Gurule-Giron was fired from a managerial position at the state Human Services Department following allegations that she made false accusations against one of her employees and that she tried to get others who worked for her to do the same.
The employee she was accused of targeting was Edward Tsyitee, one of her opponents in the mayor's race. She accused him of sexually harassing women in the office.
The drama unfolded more than 12 years ago at the local Income Support Division, where Gurule-Giron served as county director.
The mother of a West Las Vegas Middle School Seventh grader says an assistant coach there placed her son in a headlock and later tried to stick his head into a toilet on Wednesday.
Frances Gonzales said the school's administration tried to talk her out of filing charges, and she contends that the assistant coach was at the school on Thursday.
Stacey Jaramillo was getting ready for class at about 9 a.m. on Thursday when she felt her mobile home shake.
"It felt like an earthquake," the New Mexico Highlands University student said.
She looked around the house and soon went outside to discover that the strong winds had toppled part of a tree onto their double-wide mobile home, located on McRae and Silva Streets.
She called her husband, Felix Jaramillo, at Pizza Hut where he is employed as a floor manager.
The Associated Press
ALBUQUERQUE — A recent study by state health officials found that more than a fifth of third graders in New Mexico are obese.
The report issued this month by the New Mexico Department of Health showed that 15 percent of kindergartners are obese, rising to 22 percent by third grade.
The study was based on a survey of more than 3,600 New Mexico children at 28 schools statewide between August and November.
In 1935
Monday, Feb. 25 — A pint of nitroglycern was found yesterday by members of the sheriff's office, which is thought to be some of that which was used to blow the safe in the robbery of the Gross, Kelly company May 14, 1934, Sheriff Francisco P. Delgado said. The nitroglycern was found buried under a tree on a ranch northwest of Las Vegas.

Random thoughts while wondering how good Mario Manningham would look in a Cleveland Browns uniform:
LOOKING AHEAD: Manningham and the New York Giants have another game to play this season, but not long after that comes decision time. The former Warren G. Harding High School star and University of Michigan standout's four-year contract runs out after this season.
Manningham will be an unrestricted free agent and is sure to draw plenty of interest on the open market, despite not having the kind of regular season he would have liked. Manningham, who dealt with a concussion and knee injury, caught just 39 passes for 523 yards and four touchdowns in 12 regular-season games.
Those numbers were down from a career-best 60 receptions for 944 yards and nine touchdowns in 2010.
But any concerns about Manningham's health and effectiveness should have been answered in the playoffs. He caught a touchdown pass in each of the Giants three playoff games.
Manningham is a talent. What could he do in an offense with more opportunities? The Giants spread the ball around to Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz, Manningham and tight end Jake Ballard. In Cleveland, for example, Manningham would instantly become the No. 1 option in the passing game.
He'd look good in an orange helmet. With Manningham, Greg Little and perhaps Oklahoma State's Justin Blackmon in the draft, the Browns' receivers could go from lame to impressive very quickly.
NORTH-SOUTH: Four area high school football players are on the North roster for the annual Ohio North-South Classic, set for 4 p.m. on Friday, April 20 at Ohio Stadium.
Fitch running back Will Mahone, Ursuline linebacker and running back Jesse Curry, Western Reserve quarterback Jeff Clegg and Boardman running back Devin Campbell will suit up for the North, which will be coached by Liberty Center's Rex Lingruen. Western Reserve coach Andy Hake will assist Lingruen.
RIVALS COME TOGETHER: John F. Kennedy and Howland no longer meet on the football field, but the schools' boys basketball teams will play Saturday night on the Tigers' home court.
Howland coach Bill Bogan said the game will be part of a Hoops for Healing event, with proceeds from a 50-50 raffle and any donations collected going to cancer charity organizations.
PLAY4KAY: When the Mineral Ridge girls basketball team hosts East Palestine on Thursday, the Rams also will be participating in the program's third annual Play4Kay event, which benefits the Women's Basketball Coaches Association-Kay Yow Cancer Fund.
Yow, the former North Carolina State women's coach, died of breast cancer in 2009. Play4Kay events raise money for women's cancer research. Mineral Ridge has raised more than $6,000 in its first two events, according to Mary Riffee, who serves as the chairperson of the school's Play4Kay committee.

ADVISORY: Rep. Chaka Fattah and Legal Experts to Discuss the Future of Legal Services for the Needy
Contact: Katie Peters

What Lies Ahead for Legal Services, Pro Bono, and the Access to Justice?
Washington, D.C. – Legal services providers play a critical role in helping a diversity of anti-poverty programs to fulfill their missions. Throughout the country, attorneys assist families to secure housing, food, family stability, and education, to promote safety for victims of domestic violence, to access income supports (SSI and TANF), and to manage other basic life necessities. Unfortunately, legal services programs are facing serious and unique challenges related to funding and other concerns. Given the widespread implications for human needs, it is important to focus on what lies ahead for legal services, pro bono, and the access to justice.
Our panelists will explore what attorneys are currently doing to help the poor and the future of free legal services for the needy. Will pro bono initiatives help close the justice gap? What is the likelihood of continued state and federal funding for legal services? How severe will the impact of potential budget cuts be? How will people who cannot afford a lawyer find their way through the legal system?

The Atari 8-bit line (the Atari 400, 800, XL, and XE computers) were the best gaming computers of their time, with some of the best graphics to be had outside of an arcade and sound that would be largely unmatched until the Super NES and its Sony-designed custom sound chip. It had all the staples that graced its rivals, the Apple ][ and the Commodore 64, only they generally looked, sounded, and played better on the Atari. And because the Atari 8-bit was architecturally similar to the Atari 5200, it was no trick at all for the lively Atari 8-bit hacking community to convert 5200 ROMs for use on the Atari 8-bit computers.
One of my favorite games of the 1980s was Boulder Dash, from First Star Software. When I first saw it, I thought it most closely resembled Namco's popular Dig-Dug arcade game. But where Dig-Dug was about defeating the hordes of Pookas and Fygars, Boulder Dash was a much more puzzle-oriented experience. A much closer predecessor to Boulder Dash was The Pit, an arcade game from Taito and Zilec.
In Boulder Dash, you are an intrepid diamond miner known as Rockford, and you are digging through underground caves in search of diamonds against a time limit. Naturally, there are hazards to getting these gems. The most common hazards are the eponymous boulders, which act as obstacles when they're at rest. When you remove the dirt from underneath them, they drop down, and if you happen to be under them, you're toast. One of the keys to success in Boulder Dash is to master the game's physics to avoid being crushed while gaining access to the valuable diamonds. Any boulders or diamonds immediately above a falling boulder will also drop, leading to an avalanche in some situations.
In addition the boulders, many levels contain special obstacles. The most common of these are fireflies, flashing rectangles that move through the tunnels Rockford has dug through the course, always in a clockwise pattern, that, when they touch boulders or amoebas, create explosions that clear out nine squares around them. Any boulders, walls, or dirt in the way are vaporized. Unfortunately, they also explode on contact with Rockford, vaporizing him. They are very dangerous but very necessary to remove walls and obstacles in certain mazes.
Butterflies travel in a counter-clockwise direction. They are as explosive as fireflies, but when they explode, they turn everything within a 9-square area into diamonds! However, keep in mind they also explode on contact with Rockford.
Amoebas appear in two of the levels. These green blobs start out with one square but quickly grow. Only boulders stop their growth, and you can't dig through them. Butterflies and fireflies explode on contact with them. The longer you drag out the level, the more rapidly they grow. If you surround an amoeba completely with boulders, it turns into diamonds. If the amoeba comes in contact with a brick wall, it turns into boulders, generally rendering the level unwinnable.
Magic walls are walls that, when a boulder falls on them, are activated. Any boulders that fall upon them while they're active turn into diamonds and drop below the magic wall. They only remain active for ten seconds, so in order to get the most benefit from them, you'll need to make sure there are plenty of boulders to drop on them in a chain reaction before you activate them, and to make sure there's plenty of space beneath them open for the diamonds.
In the 8-bit original version of Boulder Dash I played, there are 80 levels - Screens A through P, each with 5 different variations. Naturally, the game gets much tougher at higher levels and requires greater puzzle-solving abilities.
I used to spend a lot of time playing this game with my cousins, and my mother used to play it a lot when we got our own Atari. It is surprisingly addictive, even today. First Star Software is still in business and continues to make updated versions of Boulder Dash for PCs and mobile platforms. Meanwhile, the C64 version of the original is available for download on the Wii's Virtual Console. If you have a chance, check out this charming little puzzler.

I hear you there! I find it so painful to see everyone around me with problems that I think can be negated or at least be toned down if they changed their diet.
My father is much younger, however he is a schizonphrenic, overweight, has lots of joint pains, and who knows what else since he cant even afford a physical. I am worried about diabetes/heart disease with him as well. I know eating primal can help with all this and especially since he cant afford medicine or doctors visits its critical that he changes his ways.. .sigh... I'm working on him. Now when he comes to visit he eats what I prepare and enjoys it. He knows I don't keep bread in the house..however last weekend he found a bottle of sprite that I had for a party.. and had deviled dogs in his car for the ride home.
It's very painful to watch, especially when its someone you love dearly.

The fifth season of the IPL is ready to embrace a duel between the batsman of the season so far, Ajinkya Rahane, and arguably the fastest bowler of this edition, Dale Steyn. It will be a sight to behold when Rahane, who has mesmerised the players, pundits and fans of the game with his quality of strokes, will be up against Steyn, who has rattled the stumps of some of the best batsmen of this format, when Rajasthan Royals host Deccan Chargers on Tuesday.
Rahane's magnificent touch during his unbeaten knock of 102 - his maiden Twenty20 century - against Royal Challengers Bangalore has been the talk of the town. In Rahane, Rajasthan have not only found a terrific opening batsman but also a player who is quite capable of carrying their innings together with his array of good cricketing shots. Steyn, with his fierce pace, had almost won the game for Deccan against Mumbai Indians until Daniel Christian spoilt his figures of 3 for 12 by giving away 21 runs in the last over when the visiting team required 18 to win.
Rajasthan's foreign recruits, by and large, have played their part, helping their side win three out of five games so far. Just like Rahane, the form of Owais Shah has been a revelation for Rajasthan. The England batsman's knocks of 76 and 60 against Mumbai and Bangalore, respectively, gave the much-needed fillip to their innings in the middle overs. Brad Hodge, with limited opportunities, has made it count whenever he stayed at the crease for some length. None of the batsmen who have faced Brad Hogg in the tournament so far, has been able to pick his chinaman deliveries. Johan Botha might not have executed the plans set by his skipper Rahul Dravid that well, the competitive spirit that the South African has brought to the Rajasthan camp is unparalleled.
Deccan may still be a little rusty as they are coming into this game after getting an extended break. Their skipper Kumar Sangakkara has been involved in one of the two matches that the team has played so far. Cameron White showed the glimpse of his big-hitting ability in the game against Mumbai when he clubbed two sixes in his 30-run knock. But Deccan would like one of their senior foreign recruits to contribute more consistently. Christian, although has shone with the bat, has leaked a lot of runs. So except Steyn, the other foreign imports still need to prove themselves.
Another thing that gives Rajasthan an edge over Deccan is the form of their Indian players. Whether it is the batting of wicketkeeper Shreevats Goswami or the medium pace of Siddharth Trivedi, both have contributed equally to the team's cause. The strategy of leaving out left-arm spinner Ankeet Chavan and including pacer Pankaj Singh also paid off well for Rajasthan against Bangalore. The tall bowler swung the ball, as well as generated the bounce on an otherwise placid M Chinnaswamy wicket.
Barring Shikhar Dhawan, none of the other Indian batsmen has made any substantial contribution for Deccan. The likes of Parthiv Patel, Bharat Chipli and Ravi Teja are still finding their feet in the batting department. Deccan would also like Amit Mishra to show more control with his leg spin and provide the team more wickets in the middle overs.
Having the benefit of playing at home, which has been their fortress over the years, Rajasthan will start as favourites. But Deccan, who are fresh and taking the field after a gap of eight days, may be at advantage against a jaded Rajasthan, who are coming after playing two back-to-back away games in Kolkata and Bangalore. While another win here will put Rajasthan firmly on track to reach the play-offs, a loss here will put more pressure on Deccan, who have already been beaten in their first two matches. As plenty will be at stake, another absorbing game is on the cards.
Probable XIs:
Rajasthan Royals: 1 Ajinkya Rahane, 2 Rahul Dravid (capt), 3 Shreevats Goswami (wk), 4 Owais Shah, 5 Brad Hodge, 6 Ashok Menaria, 7 Johan Botha, 8 Brad Hogg, 9 Siddharth Trivedi, 10 Amit Singh, 11 Pankaj Singh
Deccan Chargers: 1 Parthiv Patel (wk), 2 Shikhar Dhawan, 3 Kumar Sangakkara (capt), 4 Bharat Chipli, 5 Daniel Christian, 6 Cameron White, 7 Ravi Teja, 8 Amit Mishra, 9 Dale Steyn, 10 Ankit Sharma, 11 Anand Rajan

im really thinking of getting the trinity symbol tattooed on my arm somewhere but my dad is one of them people who think its stupid and i dont feel like hearing him scream and yell about it. ill probably get it after i get into collage.
btw for those who dont know, this is a trinity symbol:
it represents the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit (Christian thing). however more than likely i will design it myself

When Oreo was a kitten, he was a stray. I always saw him wandering around my backyard looking for food. I fed him every chance I got. I felt soo bad when it rained outside and I knew he was upset. So one day I set up this basket with some food under it and sure enough,he went for the bait. I let the basket close on him and I caught him! I was soo happy. I brought him to the vet, got him all cleaned up, and brought him back to my house. He still lives with me today. He's 2 years old.
