Admit your sins so we can all move on to another argument.
I just reread through the posts. It comes down to my misreading/your being unclear about him getting the $9m "over time." I took that to mean over the course of more than 1 season, not just during the 2012 season.

Reviews of this property
The contact with Patrice has been easy from the beginning. I don't speak french so Patrice was so nice to get his friend, who speaks english, to hand us the keys. Patrice is very nice and answers all your questions when you write to him.
The apartment is nice and has a good layout. The area is gated and there is not much noise even do you are in the city. It's about a 15 mins walk to the local marked and 25 mins walk to the centre of Toulouse.
Toulouse is a very nice city and we are glad that we got to see and experience Toulouse.
I would definitely recommend this to others.
Beautiful apartment decorated with great taste and excellent treatment and sympathy by Patrice, the owner.
Magnifico apartamento decorado con muy buen gusto y excelente trato y simpatia por parte de Patrice, el propietario.
We stayed four days in Toulouse and thoroughly enjoyed the home of Fabrice and availability. Comfortable, extremely clean and well located.
We felt "at home". Really well. An address that we keep for our next stay in this city.

Nous nous sommes sentis "comme chez nous". Vraiment très bien. Une adresse que nous gardons pour notre prochain séjour dans cette ville.

The apartment offers every comfort and is the central location to tram and metro for a city break ideal. The approach and departure path disturbs really only departure Wind. The owner PATRICE is holfsbereit and extremely friendly. The shops can be reached in 10 min.! We would come back any time!
Die Wohnung bietet jeden erdenklichen Komfort und ist mit der zentralen Lage zur Tram und Metro für Städtereisende ideal. Die Ein- und Abflugschneise stört eigentlich nur Abflugwind. Der Eigentümer PATRICE ist holfsbereit und ausgesprochen freundlich. Die Einkaufsläden sind in 10 Min. zu erreichen! Wir würden jeder Zeit wiederkommen!
Very nice apartment, very well located and very well equipped! Everything you need in a lovely setting! I will return to the occasion!
Très bel appartement, très bien situé et très bien équipé! Tout le nécessaire dans un cadre très agréable! Je reviendrai à l'occasion!

Patrice est très aimable et arrangeant. L'appartement est très confortable, bien situé et bien équipé. Excellente option pour séjourner. On vous le recommande.
Very welcome Patrice in his well equipped and very pleasant apartment.
Très bon accueil de Patrice dans son appartement bien équipé et très agréable à vivre.
My friends and I stayed from the 19th to the 24th of September 2013 in this beautiful apartment. After leaving Toulouse we talked much about missing this flat.
First of all to mention is, that the owner is very nice and helpful. We had no problems while arranging our stay or while our time in Tolouse. Now for the apartment itself: It is absoloutly adequate to live in. It is very clean and nicely equipped, especially in the bathroom and the kitchen. Also there is a TV and a stereo equipment in the living room. There are several metro stations in the area, which are in a nice range to reach by foot. Also it only takes a few minutes with the metro to reach the center of Tolouse.
All in all it was a very pleseant 5 days stay there. We would recommend it to anyone.
My partner and I stayed in Mr Moquette's flat during a week-long city break to the wonderful city of Toulouse. We were absolutely delighted by the welcome we received as well as the beautiful flat we stayed in. Patrice made us feel very welcome and bent over backwards to make our stay pleasant and special. The flat was beautifully decorated, very clean, super cosy and really well-equipped. All the electric appliances (including washing machine and dishwasher) are brand new and easy to use. There was also everything we needed for our first breakfast. Plenty of storage space, a great 'Italian style' shower, and a large and very comfortable bed. Towels and bedsheets were provided, which made things much easier for us. The parking space was also incredibly handy for us, and right next to the flat. The flat is located in a quiet and enclosed residence which was an added bonus as we felt really safe and comfortable. The flat was within easy walking distance of the "Arènes" metro station as well as a large supermarket which was ideal for us. A BIG thank you to Patrice Moquette for making our stay so pleasant. I most definitely recommend this address and will certainly use it again next time we are visiting the gorgeous city of Toulouse!

The Barbe Bucs finished preparations for another state title run Friday night with a 23-0 victory over the Westlake Rams in the annual Lake Area Jamboree held at Cowboy Stadium.
Quarterback Kennon Fontenot and wide receiver Trey Quinn picked up where they left off last season, but they were surrounded by quite a few new faces in their final preseason competition.
"We had quite a few young guys step up for us tonight, especially offensively," said Barbe head coach Mike Cutrera. "I think this experience will end up helping us on offense in the long run."
Fontenot completed 12-of-16 attempts for 199 yards and one touchdown and he rushed for a score. Quinn reeled in five receptions for 74 yards, most of which came after the catch.
Two of those new faces the Bucs had on the field were running backs R.J. Fowlkes and Kirkland Banks. Fowlkes rushed for 50 yards on seven carries while Banks, a freshman, scored a 47-yard touchdown on his only rush of the game.
While the offense was clicking all night, it was the Barbe defense that stepped up by holding Westlake to 45 yards on the ground and 47 yards through the air.
"Early on this season we expect our defense to carry us because that is where a majority of our experience is," Cutrera said. "Until our offensive guys get some experience and settle in, we expect our defense to come up big every week."
Westlake quarterback Tim Hamilton led his team in rushing with 42 yards and connected with wide receiver JaCory Washington on a 39-yard pass early in the game.
"We wanted to play the best team in the area and Barbe is a great measuring stick for us going into the season," said Westlake head coach Shawn Demeritt. "I thought we moved the ball well in the first half and our defense did make some big stops.
"I wanted to see how we could handle the adversity of playing a good 5A team and I thought we did some good things."
Earlier in the evening the Sulphur Tors squeaked by the Sam Houston Broncos 14-12 thanks to some big plays.
The Broncos struck first after junior quarterback Dustin Duhon led them down the field on the opening drive before punching it in from a yard out.
Sulphur answered in the second half thanks to a 44-yard touchdown run by Michael Lyons before Derrick Guillory returned a punt 75 yards for a 14-6 lead.
Senior Cliff Reid was able to breathe some life into Sam Houston on the ensuing kickoff when he sprinted 98 yards for a touchdown, but the Broncos were unable to convert the 2-point conversion.
Lyons ran for a game-high 83 yards on seven carries.

First-year students to discuss civility, ethics with prominent attorneys and judges
DETROIT (Jan. 9, 2012) — Wayne State University Law School first-year students will have the opportunity to discuss the importance of workplace civility and ethics with more than 50 prominent Detroit-area attorneys and judges. The Professionalism in Action program will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 13, at the McGregor Memorial Conference Center.
The Professionalism in Action program was introduced by State Bar of Michigan past President Ed Pappas in 2009 and has been endorsed by the State Bar. It serves as a model for Michigan law schools that want to provide an opportunity for interaction between first-year law students and veteran lawyers and judges. The program emphasizes the importance of professionalism through a series of preselected hypothetical situations, which are discussed in small-group sessions composed of law students, lawyers and members of the judiciary.
The program will begin with briefing sessions for small-group leaders and will include a welcome by Wayne Law Dean Robert M. Ackerman. State Bar of Michigan President Julie Fershtman and U.S. District Court Judge David M. Lawson, '76, will provide remarks prior to group sessions and evaluations. The event will conclude with a reception.
Group sessions will cover issues such as duties to the profession, duties to the public, honesty and the effect of substance abuse.
"We view this program as a unique opportunity to help students begin their law school careers with a firm understanding of professional ethics," said Professor Anne M. Burr, Wayne Law director of Legal Research and Writing. "Ethics and professionalism should be central to our legal culture."
For more information about the Wayne Law Professionalism in Action program, contact LaVette Benson at firstname.lastname@example.com or 313-577-4822.

WTC Official Refused to Pay to Install 2-Camera Surveillance System
A Port Authority of New York and New Jersey official refused to pay for the installation of a $4,000 two-camera video surveillance system to monitor the World Trade Center.
By SSI Staff · March 26, 2014
NEW YORK — The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey purchased a two-camera video surveillance system in August for One World Trade Center but it has sat unopened because the agency wasn't willing to pay for installation, the New York Post reported.
The revelation comes after a 16-year-old boy managed to evade security at the Freedom Tower in the middle of the night and climb to the top, where he took pictures, prompting an investigation into surveillance failures.
The Post cited an unnamed source who said a top Port Authority official fumed at the $4,000 cost for the two-camera system and refused to spend any more funds to have it installed.
"He looked at me and my colleague and said, 'Why did I spend $4,000 on this equipment when you could have gone to Home Depot and gotten something cheaper?'" the source told the Post.
"I was kind of stunned because that's a pretty bold statement to make considering we got the specs from them, and the Port Authority had it made to order."
The Post also recently reported Freedom Tower does not have a single operational surveillance camera inside. The report also cited a security source who said the building's video system "won't be operational until the building opens later this year."
Port Authority spokesman Steve Coleman told the Post the cameras "had no surveillance value whatsoever" even if they had been installed because there was no infrastructure in place to get them working.
"The building is still under construction, so the wiring for the network has not yet reached the 104th floor," he said.
The incident has prompted calls for greater security measures at the site, and talk of the possibility of moving authority for the building's security from the Port Authority to the New York Police Department.

I've been slaving away on my gauntlets ever since I finished painting my helmet. ( still needs to be weathered though. )
I've still got some refining/finishing work to do before I can install the toggle switches, push buttons and LED... which I still haven't gotten yet. I've got some re working on the flame thrower box to do, plus I might make the whipcord housing a bit narrower.
Any ways, on to the pictures... ( Please excuse the poor quality/grainy pictures as I didn't have any spare batteries for my digital camera. So I took these with my web cam. :o )
I was having issues with properly shaping the clamshells, so I made them a one-piece, slip-on style. They should do me for a while, until I can justify and afford to get a nice set from Cruzer.

Internship Policies
Policy for Employment in Internship
Definition of counseling employment: 40% direct contact with clients (individual, couple, family, or groups) for the purpose of personal change (growth, self awareness, behavior change, etc.) involving identification and application of counseling skills.
Field experience options for a student employed in a full-time counseling position:
- Change counseling agencies with or without leave of absence
- Change counseling units within the same agency
- Reduce time in primary unit, take on second unit for 20% of work time
- Maintain same job, alternate clinical supervisor. Requires minimum 1 hour a week with on-site supervisor accessible and providing consultation as needed
- Maintain same job and same on-site supervisor, but increase supervision. Requires additional 1 hour per week and change in focus of supervision
- Same part time job, additional part time placement
- Full time job with additional 20% internship hours
- No change of employment, full practicum or internship credit for regular full-time or part-time job. (This applies to students in their first year of employment in a new job)
- Exceptions for the unusual case require documentation of student expertise
HDC Policy Regarding Inadequate Performance in Internship
In the event that a student's performance during internship is seriously inadequate and/or the student is disruptive to the operation of the placement site, the Department of Human Development Counseling reserves the right to remove a student from his/her field placement at the discretion of the faculty internship supervisor and on-site supervisor, in consultation with the student's adviser. In such cases, remedial steps will be recommended as deemed appropriate. A student may apply for readmission to internship when all remedial steps have been carried out to the satisfaction of the student's faculty internship supervisor and adviser. If the student's performance in internship is in violation of the HDC policy on student conduct, appropriate measures will be taken as outlined in that policy statement.
Policy on Student Conduct
Since counselors interact with their clients at a time when clients are particularly vulnerable, counselors must exhibit professional judgment and behavior. HDC students are expected to display personal and professional integrity in their roles as counselors, students, and citizens. Any violation of professional ethics (ACA Ethical Standards), the university code, or local, state, or federal laws will be grounds for consideration by the HDC Department Committee that the student be removed from the HDC Department. The Department Committee's decision shall be independent of the student's academic achievement and of any decisions made by professional organizations or the legal system.
The counselor educator has a responsibility to the community to ensure that unprepared counselor-trainees are not allowed to advance in the counseling Department. The faculty reserves the right to review a student's fitness, at any time, on the basis of personal characteristics or dispositions, for continuing in the Department.
Students with characteristics or dispositions that could prove dysfunctional in the profession will be reviewed by the entire Department when it is so recommended by two or more faculty members. The Department's evaluation results in a recommendation for:
(a) continuation in the Department
(b) continuation with conditions
(c) dismissal from the Department
HDC Policy on Appeals
To appeal a decision regarding a grade or another Department matter, the student will first try to settle the disagreement with the faculty or staff member involved. If still dissatisfied the student will next consult the adviser, and finally, the Department Chair. If the student is still dissatisfied with the results, a written request will be submitted to the Chair for a hearing before the HDC Department Committee. The University grievance process remains available if all efforts at the Department level are unsatisfactory.
University Policy on Appeals
A grievance is a complaint arising from any alleged unauthorized or unjustified act or decision by a member of the University community which adversely affects the status, rights, or privileges of any member of the student body. The two principal functions of the student grievance are to determine whether institutional error has occurred and, if so, to determine an appropriate redress for the grievant.
Grievable issues are those in which there is a possibility of error in University policies and procedures (or lack of them) and/or the administration of such policies and procedures. A complete statement of policy and procedures is available on the Student Affairs website.
Evaluation Protocols
Evaluation is viewed as an important part of the clinical experience, enabling the Department of Human Development Counseling to provide constructive feedback to students and faculty supervisors and to provide high quality clinical experiences for HDC students.
Formative evaluation occurs throughout the clinical experience in group and individual supervisory sessions from peers and supervisors. Summative evaluations are provided in writing by University and on-site supervisors.
For interns, the faculty supervisor completes the "Faculty Supervisor's Evaluation of Intern Student" Form. The on-site supervisor, who is the primary supervisor for Internship, completes the "On-site Supervisor's Evaluation of Intern Student" Form. These evaluations are placed in the student's permanent file in the HDC office.
At the conclusion of the internship experience, or at the end of each semester, interns are asked to evaluate their on-site supervisor using the "Intern Student's Evaluation of On-site Supervisor" Form, their faculty supervisor using the "Intern Student's Evaluation of Faculty Supervisor Form, and their placement site using the "Intern Student's Site Evaluation" Form. Interns' evaluations of their placement sites are kept by the Department of Human Development Counseling; evaluations of both supervisors are kept by the HDC Chair.

|Topic Review (Newest First)
cool , ....
thanks for the help people ... just what i wanted to know ...( boy you guys know so much! ) .....
gotta go now! .... need to head off to the lfs to find some darker substrate .... ... thanks again ...
aussie tanker
Actually, yes, substrate color can play a big role in fish health and color. For most fish, there is definitely a preference for darker substrates. Few fish enjoy a reflective substrate, and most all are adapted to an environment where the substrate is of a subdued tone. That's why many fish have color on their sides and backs but have light-colored bellies. If you're a predator spying the water from above, a fish against a darker substrate will be MUCH more difficult to find if its back is also darkly colored than if it's back were bright or white. Likewise, if you're a predator looking for prey from the substrate up, a fish against sunlight will be much harder to spot if its belly is lightly colored and even reflective than if its belly were dark. Fish such as upside-down catfish have dark bellies because they swim in a different orientation.
Many fish put in a tank with very light-colored gravel will tend to blanch. This is both an adaptive response to the lighter gravel (to reduce their visibility from above) and a response to increased stress (won't generate full color when stressed). A prime example is the lemon tetra. Kept above a light-colored or even earth-colored gravel and it will be lemon-yellow to yellow-white. Kept above a black substrate, and they'll turn slaty grayish yellow--quite attractive, actually. For this particular fish, it's usually best to keep them above a neutrally colored substrate, since most people purchase this fish because they prefer its color to be a luminous yellow. For most other fish, however, a darker substrate is almost always preferred, and fish such as neons and cardinals will actually live longer when kept in such a manner. This does not exclude water quality as a factor as Buck mentioned, however: A fish kept over a dark substrate cannot be expected to demonstrate deep, rich colors if its in a constant state of poor health.
I cant speak for the fish but darker substrates tend to accent fish and plant colors a little better then very light colored sub's... but that is all up to personal taste.
I have done both and now prefer a more natural "dark" substrate.
With most fish, not all , I have found that water quality determines the fishes health which effects the fishes coloration, not its surroundings and also how "we" see them is dependant on lighting and the surroundings.
Lights are the biggest quirk with fish color I think.
Hi all,.....
when i set up my first planted tank i used a white gravel substrate ... i am not sure of the exact type, but it is one of the most common brands of aquarium substrate sold in most lfs here in sydney australia .....
i chose the white colour, rather than the more common brown sandy colour because i had seen some pics of planted tanks on the net and i thiought that the white clour provided a great contrast and look against the black driftwood and the rich green of the plants ...
i also thought that it may help to "distribute" the light a little better ( my tank is quite deep, ... really too deep for a planted tank at 24 inches ).. slightly off topic here ... but any thoughts on this aspect ?
now for a question ...
i have recently read that white / lighter coloured substrates can cause freshwater tropical fish ( .... not the marine style fish ..... ) to gradually lose their colours by somehow causing the brighter colours to dull or fade over time ... and therefore it is better to use darker coloured substrates in aquariums of freshwater tropicals .... is this correct? ... and if so, does anyone know the mechanism for this ?
i think i also read that lighter substrates cause the fish to be more "nervy" or "timid" ... again, any personal observations on this ?
hope that someone can offer guidance on this ....

text: Bored at work, waiting for 'early release' I read several wikipedia entries about several female skating phenoms from the late 60s and early 70s - Gabriele Seyfert - -She lost to Hana Maskova of Czechoslovakia at '68 Euros. I didn't know that. I just assumed that Gaby was always dominant on the Euro scene. -She also was the daughter of Jutta Mueller. -She landed a 3loop in '68. Wow. Was she considered a stronger free skater than Peggy Fleming? -Any reason why she didn't continue until the '72 Olympics? She was on quite a streak, winning Worlds in '69 and '70 -She had been coaching Anett Poetzsch as a youngster and Anett was taken away from her by the GDR Skating authority....and given over to her mother for coaching. Awkward! She quit coaching as a result according to the entry. Hana Maskova- -Her wikipedia entry stated she was a 'hard worker' and a great free skater. Anyone have any insight? She beat Gaby at '68 Euros. Would she have also been competitive with Peggy Fleming? -She withdrew from '69 Worlds and never competed again. I wonder why.... -She died in a car crash in '72 Albertina Noyes- -She was solidly the #2 American after Peggy Fleming for the length of their careers together throughout the 60s. Any insight on her? Was she noted for anything? I've never seen her mentioned in any threads. Zsuzsa Almassy- -She was '69 World Champion Bronze Medalist but never landed on the world podium again. I think she was as high as Silver on Euro podiums, too. Was she noted for anything? Julie Holmes- -I see she was coached by Carlo Fassi. Was she a princess-style skater? She seemed really strong in Figures, but was beaten by Janet Lynn at US Nats, yet finished ahead of Janet every year at Worlds from '69 - '71, winning a bronze in '70 and silver in '71. She was finally passed by Janet at the '72 Olympics. Did she bomb that competition? She disappears after Sapporo.... Trixi Schuba, Petra Burka and Janet Lynn have been explored in other threads. I think it's great that Petra landed the first triple jump in '65 (?) but sadly quit skating after '66 Worlds. Was she an athlete? Artist? Was coach Ellen Burka her mother? Any insight on any skater would be greatly appreciated.

WD Targets CCTV Market With New Line of Hard Drives
WD, a Western Digital company, unveiled its WD Purple line of hard drives that the company says is optimized for mainstream video surveillance applications.
By Rodney Bosch · February 27, 2014
IRVINE, Calif. — WD, a Western Digital company, unveiled its WD Purple line of hard drives that the company says is optimized for mainstream video surveillance applications.
The 3.5-inch drives — available in capacities from 1 to 4 terabytes — are designed to withstand the demands of video surveillance applications where the drive spends the vast majority of its time writing. This can result in high temperature fluctuations and equipment vibrations.
"WD Purple is our evolution of surveillance storage. We had been servicing this market with a standard consumer electronics drive, but now we have improved that and have this line which is specifically optimized for the surveillance market," Richard Reid, a Western Digital product manager, tells SSI.
The new line extends Western Digital's campaign to delineate hard drive market segments with an accompanying color-based branding, which makes it simple for security integrators, VARs and consumers to select the right drive engineered for their application, Reid says.
WD is targeting the new line at OEMs building mainstream video surveillance systems and NAS boxes designed for pairing with IP video cameras, as well as residential and small- to medium-sized businesses looking to upgrade existing systems. The drives are designed to be installed in table-top surveillance systems with one to eight drive bays that support one to 32 IP cameras. The drives are rated for workloads of 60TB of writes per year and are backed by a three-year warranty.
Western Digital forecasts the surveillance market for hard drive requirements growing at about a 13% CAGR, with much of that growth attributed to NVRs. The continuing market shift from legacy analog cameras to IP-based systems is also driving the need for increased storage, Reid says.
"As systems transition from standard analog cameras to IP cameras, the data required goes up four fold. So a typical standard def camera is about 2 megabytes per second and a high def camera is 8 megabytes per second," Reid explains. "A standard system with analog cameras might be shipped with a [500GB] drive. As the customer moves their standard system up to IP cameras they are moving up to a 1-terabyte drive. That is just for the low-end systems. This WD Purple line with the highest capacity of 4 terabytes plays right into that transition from analog to IP cameras."
WD Purple hard drives are equipped with an array of exclusive WD technologies, including AllFrame. When combined with ATA streaming support, the firmware helps to reduce video footage loss with a proprietary cache policy management technology to help improve data flow and playback, Reid says.
Built for easy integration into new or existing video surveillance systems, WD Purple hard drives are compatible with industry-leading chassis and chip-sets. Without a current industry standard, Reid says WD worked closely with surveillance partners to develop a proprietary benchmark to define and demonstrate performance in surveillance systems.
A special Compatibility Selector is available to assist customers with surveillance drive selection here.

Even when we understand their parts, living things are hard to put back together
Robert L. Dorit
The publication in 1637 of René Descartes' Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting One's Reason and of Seeking Truth in the Sciences changed the practice of science forever. In it, he poured the foundations of modern science by putting forth two powerful and interrelated theses. The first embraced reductionism as a way of knowing: Descartes committed himself to "divide each of the difficulties under examination into as many parts as possible, and as might be necessary for its adequate solution," and to "conduct my thoughts in such order that, beginning with those objects that are simplest and most readily understood, I might ascend little by little, and, as it were, step by step, to the knowledge of the more complex." Later in the same work, he deployed one of the most durable metaphors of Western intellectual thought: He argued that the body was best thought of as a machine.
By coupling those two ideas—that complex machines could be understood by taking them apart, and that living beings are essentially machines—Descartes set the stage for the age of science. He argued persuasively that living systems emerge as the physical consequences of material forces. For example, also in his Discourse, he explained the workings of the heart:
I wish it to be considered that the motion which I have now explained follows as necessarily from the very arrangement of the parts, which may be observed in the heart by the eye alone, and from the heat which may be felt with the fingers, and from the nature of the blood as learned from experience, as does the motion of a clock from the power, the situation, and shape of its counterweights and wheels.
The living world was thus the legitimate province of the sciences and its inner workings could be probed and understood through logic, observation and experiment.
The task of this new science would henceforth consist in disassembling the seemingly complicated machinery of life into its simplest components, which could then be cataloged, prodded, manipulated and described. According to Descartes' model, any real understanding of the body could only come from taking it apart, just as one takes apart a machine to discover its inner workings. If we wish to understand how a clock tells time, according to this model, our job is to disassemble it. Understanding a clock means understanding its springs and gears. And the same is true of living "machines."
This notion of the body as a machine would clear away centuries of intellectual detritus: By arguing that the body was the sum of its interacting parts, and, more importantly, by suggesting that the study of those parts would reveal the workings of the body, Descartes shifted centuries of scientific and philosophical discussion about imponderable life forces and inexplicable animist vapors. (Lest we go overboard in praising Descartes, he clearly panicked at the last moment. He exempted human beings from the ground rules he set for other living organisms. In so doing, he sowed 400 years of confusion and discord with his notion that the mind and the body were separate phenomena, governed by separate rules.)

This is not the BioShock we know. Linked only thematically to the first two titles, BioShock Infinite promises a breath of fresh air - seriously, the other two were set underwater - for veterans, and an open entry point for new players.
It is set in the breakaway city-state of Columbia, the year is 1912, and the world is getting used to the idea of American exceptionalism.
Forget about the city upon a hill, though - this one floats above them all. Up there in the clouds, the citizens have taken their ideals to uncomfortable extremes, under the leadership of a bent prophet. They pray to Washington, Jefferson and Franklin for guidance and then use their wisdom to persecute minorities and perpetuate filthy levels of sexism, all protected by police who wouldn't have been out of place under Hitler.
It is your bad luck to be the prophesied "false shepherd". A veteran of the US Cavalry, Booker DeWitt is tasked with recovering the "lamb" - a mysterious young woman named Elizabeth - and delivering her in order to clear a debt.
You might understand how that might upset the locals. You can deal with them in this first-person shooter using a range of firearms, supernatural abilities, and a clever tool called the Sky-Hook. That allows you to ride overhead cables in a flying fox-like fashion and butcher enemies with brutal efficiency.
Elizabeth is a disapproving accomplice, albeit willing, and she's a great character: a triumph of voice acting, animation and design who out-Disneys cinema's favourite princesses. Mechanically, she is a supporting character whose abilities include opening rifts in space and time to supply Booker with items and tricks, but she provides a blessedly liberal counterpoint to all the happy fascists.
The sound design is top notch, with many layers of incidental audio bringing Columbia to life. Some of the best bits are so subtle that impatient ears will miss them, like the barbershop quartet doing sweet justice to the Beach Boys' God Only Knows, or the clever Cyndi Lauper infusion later on, and don't worry about the apparent anachronisms: the plot has them covered.
Some of the character sprites are too crude to belong in the amazing world they inhabit and that's a shame, because in most other games they'd have been acceptable. It's hard to accept the wooden movements of the holy folk moving through a serene, hymn-filled chapel ostensibly full of joy and peace. It's written everywhere but on the lifeless faces of the characters within, save for the bully who baptises Booker half to death.
Columbia is a big place and you are propelled along at a reasonable pace at most times. That does slow down at points and, if you're prone to wandering, can mess with your focus. This creates an uneasy feeling when contrasted against he heights this game achieves in other areas.
BioShock Infinite is the first game I have played in a while that feels like it has life-changing depth - something I haven't seen in a game since Final Fantasy VII and, for the record, I'm still playing that one regularly. Like a great novel, film, or record, the game feels dangerous and comforting, compelling and distressing. The dense layers of plot, dialogue, music, visuals, and action are packaged almost without fault. BioShock Infinite feels like it might become an all-time great. History will tell.

8.00 a pound glass or plastic.
8.00 a pound glass or plastic.
Carriage House Farm, North Bend, Ohio
Here in Chesterfield, VA I have been getting 7.00 per pint for the last couple of years but will probably go to $8.00 this year. I sell pints and quarts in Mason jars and most of my regulars return the jars when buying more honey.
I have just come back from a farmers market where I have been selling honey ( and seedlings and our own candles and Pecan Nuts) for a good while.
We sell our Raw Honey for $ 5.00 ( Australian) for 500 g ( 10% more then a lb) and a kg for $ 9.00. The honey is in glass jars and we give a dollar for every jar returned. It helps the repeat trade.
There is another beekeeper there and he sells his honey for $ 7.00 for a kg and drops the price to $ 6.00 if the trade is slow.
Been selling 3 lb. (quart jars) for $12.00 for the last two years at the local Farmers Market. Must be to cheap or two good, i'm sold out before the first of the year. Jack
What I've seen from local people at farmers markets and the health food store is 7-8 a pound for liquid honey, some charge more for the dark buckwheat honey. $10-12 for a pound of raw or cut comb.
A laborer is entitle to a fair wage, farmer is entitled for a fair amount for his product, and the beekeeper is entitled for a fair amount for his local product. But, I am not into gouging [sp.?] my friends and neighbors. I want them to benefit from my effort to deliver a superior product. We need to be careful least we consume one another.
Kindest Regards
"I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." Nathan Hale, 1776
We have people choping at the bit from our church, neighbors, the feed store ...all to buy LOCAL honey. People have heard its better. They believe the effects on allergies, etc.. The guy at the feed store said there was an older gentleman that used to sell them honey but he died and no one picked up the trade. They were very excited! My wife just innocently posted to facebook last year that her husband was crushing honey out of comb from our hives, she received over 20 messages on how to purchase our honey. I am going to be selling mine for $6 pint and $12 a quart.
"I believe that banking institutions are more dangerous to our liberties than standing armies." - Thomas Jefferson
Same here -- I had no intention of selling honey, but everyone from my doctor to my students' parents have asked me to "Put my name on your call list" when honey comes in. Heck: I don't even have a "call list"! Guess I'd better make one.
I get people asking to buy too. I try and explain to them that I don't even know if I'm going to get honey for me this year and I'm playing this game so I can have bees not so I can sell honey.
Good point -- guess I'll order those labels, after all!
Getting $7 for 1 Lb and $13 for 2 Lb jars whether plastic or glass, I give 50 cents off for glass jars returned it doesn't save me any money but like to recycle them.
I get $4 per 1lb. plastic bottle. at our local farmers market and at work. there are a couple of local guys who keep the price too low. I wish I could get what some of you are getting!

The assault at a residence in Carambei, in the Brazilian state of Paraná, ended up in a strange way. The thief was confronted with an orgy, into which he ended up participating. However he was arrested anyway for breaking into the house.
The thief, named José Pedro Alves, 39 years old, entered a residence in Carambei, in the Brazilian state of Paraná, with the intention of robbing.
However he was surprised with an invitation to participate in an orgy.
When he entered the main room, the thief found two couples having sex. Thinking that the "black mask was part of a sexual fantasy", the participants invited him to join in.
José Pedro Alves quickly forgot what he wanted to do there and participated in the orgy for about half an hour, reported one of those involved.
However, the affinity with the alleged 'victims' of burglary, did not prevent him from being arrested.

After reading some of the post lately about the Cobalt and Impala regarding MPG and sales I started thinking. I used to love the Beretta when I was in high school, thankfully I never ended up with one, but has anyone seen one on the road lately. I can't remember the last time I did.
I break for Spaceballs.Ludicrous speed, GO!
I have seen one recently, think it was an onld white one. I remember a several people in high school had those and they actually looked good, especially with ground effects and chrome wheels.

Yes actually. There are quite a few of them out here in California. I see a lot of them actually -- same with the old Chevy Corsica...I think a lot of that has to do with the fact that cars don't rust here in California.
I always thought the Beretta was a sexy car.The 3.1L in it though leaves me totally flaccid.
I saw one a few months ago. It was a cop car they had set up to monitor a school zone. It looked in good shape, I wouldnt have know it was a cop if he didnt have someone pulled over. It even had a for sale sign in it.

I thought we were talking about a different kind of Beretta
Check out www.beretta.net. I used to be a member there when i owned my 1988 Beretta (1998-2000). It was a very nice LOOKING car for it's day. Oh the joys of owning a 1980's GM car.Anyway, a guy down the street still has one, so there is atleast one left.
Something funny about those cars... I rember this girl on my street had one and the trunk release was under the armrest. I find that odd, I drive and Accord. Didn't they have a GTZ or GTU model? It was all decked out. Like I said I wanted one bad, but now I just think of "Hockey Hair"/"Mullet" when I think of them. lol
I break for Spaceballs.Ludicrous speed, GO!
I saw one the other day, first one in a while. I remember because it brought back memories from college. One of my friends had one in college (the Z edition, Z26?), and I got to drive it once. She (and the lot of us, less me) was trashed, so I was elected to drive back to town. Everyone else got the wise idea to ride along and would go back the next day to pick up their cars. So I drove back with 9 (yes NINE) people in there, not including myself (so I guess 10 really). 3 people in the front passenger seat, 4 across the backseat with 2 laid across the laps of the seated.Not the smartest thing I've ever done I'm sure, lol. Good thing it was an automatic though! And yes, we made it safe and sound.

Cass County TRIAD has goal to protect seniors
At Cass County TRIAD meetings, Sheriff Tom Burch shares information regarding current frauds and scams.
One often referred to is how credit card information can be stolen just by having someone pass by you with a credit card reader. It's hard to imagine that this can happen, but if your card has Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), it can.
Not all credit cards have an RFID chip in them at this point; however, the likelihood of your card having this chip in the future is increasing.
This chip makes it easier to pay with the card. You just have to hold it by the reader instead of scanning it.
Your card may have this chip if it has a symbol similar to radio waves )))) or if it says something like "blink" "paypass" or "paywave."
If your card has an RFID chip and someone has a credit card reader, they can get your card information and make a "clone" card. There are several websites and newsclips that have more information on this scam and how you can protect yourself, including this AARP site: http://www.aarp.org/money/scams-fraud/info-01-2011/scam_alert_handsfree_....
TRIAD meetings also cover the many benefits of the annual Minnesota TRIAD Conference, where seniors and law enforcement from throughout Minnesota who are committed to keeping seniors safe can meet one another. Participants also learn ways that other TRIAD groups enhance senior safety and share what is being done in Cass County.
Last year in early October, three Minnesota TRIAD members, including Pauline of Cass County, went to Indiana for the National TRIAD Conference, where they spent three days with 180 participants from 22 different states.
These participants represented 650 TRIAD groups and 17,000 TRIAD volunteers who had the opportunity to meet and visit with such a diverse group of law enforcement and TRIAD volunteers while learning about projects they are involved in.
The Minnesota TRIAD Conference in Baxter had 125 participants in 2012. The conference incldued speakers, interactive sessions and a chance to learn from and share with each other.
The 2013 TRIAD Conference will be in New Ulm on Sept. 18-20. The 2014 TRIAD conference will be hosted by Aitkin, Cass and Itasca TRIADs.
TRIAD brings together caring senior citizens and law enforcement people who are working for a common goal — to keep senior citizens safe in our communities. TRIAD meetings are generally held the third Tuesday of every month at the Hackensack Senior Center with lunch at noon immediately following by the meeting.
All seniors are welcome and encouraged to attend the TRIAD meetings and become part of the TRIAD family.
TRIAD contacts include Maynard and Betty Nelson, Backus, 218-682-2363; Bernie Miller, Hackensack, 218-675-6137; Betty Waldron, Pine River, 218-587-3216; Shirley Dowson, Walker, 218-547-1894 or email@example.com; Pauline Fahey, Cass County Sheriff's Office, 218-547-7308 or email@example.com; and Minnesota TRIAD, 218-536-0899 or www.mnsheriffs.org.

LT - Beatty
LG - Boothe/Petrus
C - Baas/Boothe
RG - Snee
RT - Brewer/Diehl/Locklear
I see it looking like this, with Boothe and Brewer winning the offseason competition at those spots. Also, for those of you who think Beatty isn't an absolute lock at LT barring injury, that idea is laughable. I think our biggest worries are obviously LG and RT, but I don't think it's worthwhile to spend a first rounder on a lineman, because we already have competition at our biggest holes on the line, and we are good at picking up guys in later rounds and then developing them.
Personally I'd like to go RB in the first, although I'm ok with us drafting most positions there, I think a pickup of RB or WR would be able to make the biggest immediate impact, as our RB depth is laughable right now, and the third WR spot is of course up for grabs, and a very important position to fill with Nicks and Cruz drawing all the coverage so as to open things up for our TEs and third WR.
I know that this draft has a lot of depth at RB, and I know that the top guys after Richardson, (Martin, Wilson, Miller) are all seen mostly as mid to late 2nd rounders. However I think that is largely due to the undervaluing of the position and the fact that it's easy to find guys in later rounds, plus that they tend to have shorter careers. Despite all of this, I really would be thrilled if we picked up Martin or Wilson with our first pick at 32, (we rarely seem to move, but I would love to trade back and then pick up wilson if we could) because either of them could be a stud for us at what I see know as the biggest weakness on our team along with o-line, where at least in the case of the o-line we have depth, whereas at RB we have Ware and a 7th rounder in Scott (not that I won't be thrilled if he turns out to be something)
Massive walls of text over. Thoughts?

[quote user="mjg407"]I don't like the player moves either. IMHO Tollefson has done a good job, and Madison is needed on the field. The browns line is solid, probably one of the best lines out there. We had a lot of weaknesses exposed yesterday. Not sure if Spags was trying some different things but we were exposed.
I thought Tollefson was out because of injury of some sort?
McDougle just sucks....

I have an abstract class Entity and a derived class, let's call it Fred. I'm using newInstance() but I want to store the new instance in a HashMap<String, Entity>. When I do (Entity) klass.newInstance(); I'm getting an exception that I can't cast to Entity but I don't understand why.
To further complicate matters, the class definition for Fred is created dynamically at runtime using a Javassist class loader.
Any suggestions appreciated.

In previous posts we've seen how to Enable automatic security update in Debian/Ubuntu and in Red hat enterprise or Centos 6, recently I've started to work with the new Red Hat Enterprise 7 and I've noticed that there are some interesting changes in the way this system can be set to auto update.
An example ?
In Red Hat/Centos 6 you could not set which kind of update you'd like to do, so you could just decide to update for any kind of update (feature,bug or security) or nothing at all, this has changed and now we can fine grain which kind of updates we want to do on our servers.

1st Congressional District When six-term US representative Tom Allen announced in May that he'd seek Susan Collins's Senate seat next November, he basically proclaimed open season for some of Maine's best-known politicos (as well as a few newcomers). Already some candidates have come and gone, but the field remains wide open as candidates prepare for the June 2008 primaries. Dems will be choosing between candidates who have largely similar positions on Iraq, and whose healthcare positions still need to be fleshed out. And Republicans — with one candidate whose official stance on the war won't likely be publicly known until after the primary, and another with a dearth of political experience but a comprehensive platform — are already at a disadvantage: among candidates who have filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission, the best-funded Republican still trails the worst-funded Dem in campaign contributions (though only barely). Here's where the crowded field stands so far.
CHARLIE SUMMERS R-Scarborough | Summersforcongress.org
Summers's wife, Ruth, is running his campaign while the Navy Reserve lieutenant commander is stationed in Baghdad's Green Zone. He'll likely be overseas until late summer of 2008, after the primary, and federal rules prevent him from doing anything for his own campaign (like writing e-mails or fundraising) while he's on active duty. So far, with Ruth at the helm, Summers's campaign has raised $63,671, according to his Federal Election Commission filing, placing him dead last among those who have filed paperwork to run for the 1st District seat. Aside from his military experience, Summers's resume includes stints as senator Olympia Snowe's state director, as a state senator, and as the New England Regional Administrator for the US Small Business Administration (a post previously held by Susan Collins). In 2004, Summers challenged Tom Allen for his seat and lost, though he got about 40 percent of the vote.
DEAN SCONTRAS R-Eliot | Teamdean08.com
Scontras is a feisty tech-businessman who counts job security and immigration issues among his top priorities. He touts technology as part of his platform, which he calls "Republican 2.0." The next generation of Republicans, Scontras says, needs to embrace modernity within government, which will lead to better efficiency and increased personal freedom. According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Scontras has put $109,861 into his coffers, which would make him the best-funded Republican candidate. Scontras compares the momentum behind his candidacy to that of Republican Jim Ogonowski, the political unknown who came close to beating Democrat-with-name-recognition Niki Tsongas in October's special election for Massachusetts's 5th District congressional seat, which has been held by Democrats since 1974.
MICHAEL BRENNAND-Portland | Brennanforcongress.org
Brennan, a long-time progressive fixture in the Maine State House — his campaign chair is the current state senate president, Beth Edmonds — is struggling to raise money. As of September 30, he had just $109,908 in campaign contributions, which places him last in fundraising among Democratic candidates with FEC filings. On paper, Brennan seems like a perfect fit for the job — he served in the Maine House from 1992 to 2000, and in the state Senate from 2000 to 2006; he currently works as a policy associate at the Muskie School of Public Service, and as an adjunct professor at the University of New England; he advocates for universal health care, and has experience working on housing and social issues — but will he be able to overcome his wonkishness and stir up enthusiasm for his campaign?

Grown Women Loving Teen Vampires is Just Plain Wrong

In case you are living under a rock, the final instalment of the film version of the Twilight series was released in theatres last week. Am I being overly sensitive about the idea of grown women fantasizing about teenaged boys? Why does our culture have this strange double standard? If 35-year-old fathers were lining up at movie premieres to get their photos taken with Dakota Fanning, we'd scream bloody murder.

Reviews of this property
A cozy roof-top room in a Belgian house. It is easily accessible by public transportation to the airport and main train station. The house is very quite, clean and artistic decorated. There are many shops, restaurants and fast-food shops nearby. We have had a nice stay here. Thanks a lot!
Very good. Welcome, comfortable room, close to downtown, we had a pleasant stay!
Très bien. Bon accueil, chambre confortable, proche du centre ville, nous avons passé un agréable séjour !
It was a doble booking and Damien offered us another house, very kind from him. The house was perfect, nice and quiet area, close to the Metro, wich it was direct line to the city center. His girlfriend and his family were very kind too.
To sum up, we had a great time in Brussels and at Damien´s house. He and his mother were very very nice towards us. The room was very clean and nice as well.
I can olny recommand this stay for all guys who search a nice and cheap stay in Brussels.
In total I evaluate the stay in the house positivly. Very hospitable owners.
Stay awesone :)
It was a very nice pleasant stay, Damian and Patricia are friendly and very helpful Mosna. The room and bathroom are very well cared for and to be especially nice, I found the small Nikolausaufmersamkeit the morning standing at 6:12 next to my door. The location is to achieve fine and it is wonderfully quiet and yet zentral.Für more visits it is on my favorites list, I recommend it very much on!
Es war ein sehr schöner angenehmer Aufenthalt, Damian und Patricia sind freundliche und sehr hilfsbereite Meschen. Das Zimmer und das Bad sind sehr schön gepflegt und als besonders nett empfand ich die kleine Nikolausaufmersamkeit die am 6.12 morgens neben meiner Türe stand. Die Lage ist prima zu erreichen und es ist wunderbar ruhig und doch zentral.Für weitere Besuche steht es auf meiner Favoriten Liste ich empfehle es sehr gerne weiter!
Very nice and charming host family. Damien was super helpful in all matters and I immediately found my way in the city. The place is very clean and friendly. I believe most hotels don't reach that level. I can highly recommend a stay here!! Enjoy
I would definitely recommend Damien's place to everyone. The room is comfortable, very clean and quiet. We felt welcome and had really good time. Damien is very helpful and friendly host. We had even cot bed for our baby so she happily slept at night.
I enjoyed the friendliness of the hosts and their warm welcome.
J'ai beaucoup apprécié la gentillesse des hôtes et de leur accueil très chaleureux.

Rory Stewart:
Time to end the war in Afghanistan
British MP Rory Stewart walked across Afghanistan after 9/11, talking with citizens and warlords alike. Now, a decade later, he asks: Why are Western and coalition forces still fighting there? He shares lessons from past military interventions that worked — Bosnia, for instance — and shows that humility and local expertise are the keys to success.

Aren't these temporary tattoos stunning? Robyn Fukumoto contacted me last week and told me about her charity The Temporary Tattoo Project. I was immediately inspired by it. Here's her story:
Basically, my friend Lauren and I were looking for a relevant way to engage our generation in contributing to a great cause, so we created The Temporary Tattoo Project to benefit Flying Kites, a nonprofit out of Greenpoint that runs a school and orphanage in Kenya.
We collaborated with six top tattoo artists (five from NYC and one from Hawaii) to create temporary tattoos that are being sold to raise money for Flying Kites' Child Sponsorship Program and Leadership Academy. Each artist was paired with a child in need of sponsorship who inspired limited edition works of art meant to be showcased on your skin.I'm excited to announce that they are the featured charity on Groupon this week! I'm encouraging you to check it out and make a donation if you feel inspired, too. Act fast. Their Groupon ends Sunday! Those who donate $10 will receive a free temporary tattoo.
I think you should order one for your sassy mom for Mother's Day, one for your adventurous dad for Father's Day, or one for your wild child's birthday. You could even buy the whole set of six for your favorite badass family!
Discovering cool projects like this makes me happy. Thanks Robyn for contacting me and sending the tattoos. I think what you're doing is fabulous. Good luck!

Discussion in 'Photo & Video Gallery' started by Megasaurus, Dec 23, 2010.
Took these over the summer, ignore the date the camera was not setup properly. She's hot huh?
So..is that your gf sittin in the car looking out the window in the 5th pic down? Not the 6th pic, the 5th pic. The little tan one with the 4 legs & floppy ears? ha ha ha..
Seriously, the woman in these pics is not the same woman you posted as your "wifey" in your first pic on your other thread. So what's the story? 2 wives? 2 girlfriends?
edit** BTW your first 2 pics aren't downloading all the way. You can only see about an inch of the left side of the first 2.
I was always taught, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."
Guess I already said too much, huh?
Haha... Mega, I like your wife better than your girlfriend.
Do u realy think u can fool us on one and the same site ?? LMAO
Go find you are GF and then come back..stop posting pictures of magazins especialy when theyr ugly !!!!
I had better looking ones that i threw out for beeing a bitch then the ones u post here !!!!!
bahahaha, this is an old running gag on a lot of sites. One of the worst modeling photo shoots ever.
It's 1) the car, 2) the bad backgrounds, 3) the horrible posing, 4) the terrible wardrobe, 5) terrible hair and makeup, 6) etc, etc, etc.
Yeah, sure- I believe you.
Isn't that a Toyota?
Cute dog- very fit looking young woman also.
# 7. Terrible face!
not just the face...LOL ooops
Heh, her face isn't bad-maybe it is just the weird over application of mascara.
I suspect MANY HERE (not me of course, but many of you) have done much worse- AND BEEN PRETTY HAPPY WITH IT!
