Vampires or Culebras, as they are typically called, are a semi-reptilian race of immortal and feral creatures that feed on blood. In the series, they are people given the condition from the bite of another culebra.
Vampires are somehow related or descended from the Aztec snake gods, particularly a goddess.
Culebras originated from Xibalba, the first realm, where they were nothing more than slaves to the demons.
The Nine Lords of the night were faithful men and women who worshiped the serpent god (Amaru) and came from the first realm. The oldest of the Nine Lords (Amancio Malvado) sacrificed a woman into the pit transforming her into the 'mistress of the night' (culebra) and the harbinger of the next realm.
According to Professor Tanner (a.k.a Sex Machine) these vampires look more like snakes than bats and have a reptilian form. These vampires are from Mesoamerican, Mayan or Aztec regions, unlike other vampires in the world, due to their appearance of reptiles (in other regions, vampires looks like rats or bats). These vampires have monstrous faces, cone-shaped fangs that fold up against the gums, flaked skin, vertical pupils, red/orange/yellowish glowing eyes (though Professor Tanner demonstrated having light blue eyes when transformed) and claws. Some vampires that were large in their human form become horned and burly. Some vampires have hardened scales while others have flaked skin like other snakes.
The blood of the living is the main component of a vampire's diet whether from the source, from a cup or container, or from the flesh of humans, which vampires make into a raw delicacy. It is undetermined when vampires need to feed, how long they can go without feeding (as Carlos was trapped in the labyrinth for months presumably without a source for blood) and what ill affects it has on them if fail to feed, while it is known that they will lose themselves to their animal instincts and behavior due to their bloodlust. They can also consume human food, as seen when Sex Machine is eating a bowl of Frito pie, and when Ritche Gecko is seen eating a steak/potato/vegetable dinner, but it's uncertain whether they gain sustenance from it, or simply do it to pass as human.
Despite their monstrous traits, they still retain many human traits that allow them to further the illusion that they are normal humans,such as sweating and breathing. As such, they still need to sleep, which they do during the day time. Vampires even produce waste, as seen when a vampire urinated on Gonzalez and still grow hair like humans do, as seen when Carlos was shown to have grown a full beard and shaggy long hair after spending months in the labyrinth.
As far as we know, vampires were originally living humans until they were converted (also called being turned or sired) by another vampire. However it is possible that two vampires could produce a vampire in the typical way of human reproduction. A vampire who is responsible for a new vampire's creation is called a sire. A new vampire is a fledgling or progeny. This creates a bloodline from sire to progeny, similar to a familial bond as the sire's blood forever flows in the progeny's veins.
In the series, vampires have a snake-like venom that is injected from their fangs into the human they turn and it gives the victim frightful and painful hallucinations, as well as giving them an agonizing fever and sickness, before they overcome their ailments and emerge completely transformed. When they are transformed, they change into their reptilian form and will mostly be feral if aroused by blood and will transform when blood is shed, while some of them are not as feral.
Powers & AbilitiesEdit
Vampirism makes its victims immortal and gives them many supernatural powers.
- Immortality - Vampires do not age nor decay and are immune to death by disease or sickness.
- Accelerated Healing - Vampires heal from physical wounds much faster than humans without any lingering side effects of such injuries. As such, they are naturally more resilient to injuries and seem to not require medical attention when they are injured, while feeding may allow them to heal and recover faster. In addition, chronic illnesses, such as poor vision, are immediately corrected. For example, Richie was shot in the hand and had a large hole that caused him immense pain if too much pressure was applied to it. Upon transformation, the large wound healed rapidly and his vision was heightened, no longer requiring him to wear glasses.
- Superhuman Strength - Vampires can strike, grab, restrain or dismember their prey with inhuman strength. With their strength, they are capable of easily defeating grown men, and sometimes other vampires, fairly quickly in direct physical combat, though burly vampires are a bit harder to kill, much like a large human. Due to a vampire's strength increasing with age, the 1,000 year old Santanico was able to eviscerate humans much bigger than her with ease, swing her hands through a person and maul them in one strike, and throw them with one hand across a room. Also, Carlos casually overpowered and killed two humans with his fangs and pushed Gonzalez through the air, though his being younger than Santanico makes him weaker than her. Regular vampires are as weak as humans and one human can easily defeat them until they are overpowered. Vampires that are centuries old will exert the force of any type of moving vehicle no matter there size or appearance while younger vampires have the strength of a human and can be more easily slain. Their are some instances when young vampire is in fact stronger than humans, even older ones if they are less feral than the older ones and know how to fight without going into feral hazes and becoming blood crazed. Scott in the series, killed a group of vampires in a minute with his fangs and mauled them to death with ease.
- Telepathy - Santanico Pandemonium was able to communicate with Richard Gecko by the use of telepathy, as well as hypnotize, entrance and see, feel and know what others know just by being in their presence. Carlos already knew Kyle's name and everything Kyle knew and experienced after being in his presence, though it may have also been caused when he fed on Kyle. A vampire that so much as touches a human will instantly know everything that human knows.
- Illusion Casting - Santánico Pandemonium was able to appear only in the sight of Richard Gecko and causing to see feel and know things that other knew by her telepathic guidance. Her telepathic/empathic ability to feel, see, and know what Richie knew allowed her to follow him even when he was .
- Shapeshifting - Vampires can shape-shift into a reptilian form that is stronger and far more feral than their human form or their regular vampire form. It causes them to mentally degenerate into mindless animals that can be killed easier as they are not as smart in a fight and are more blood crazed, though when partially transformed, they are simply more aggressive and can speak, while other are more like hungry zombies and even hunt in hoards or packs. They either have flaked or scaly skin with sometimes hardened scales and horns. It can allow a younger vampire to overcome and kill a group of other vampires and slaughter them in a minute if they are able to control themselves when transformed. The oldest of vampires are more adept in this and Scott was the only young vampire. They can also change into their victims, while this may be a form of telepathy or illusion casting, since their clothes change along with them. Carlos changed only his clothes and he saw himself as himself but with the officers clothes, while his reflection and everyone else saw and heard him as the officer.
- Flight - Santánico was the only vampire to demonstrate having wings. While in a fight and not wanting her enemies to escape, her wings grew out of her back and lifted her quickly into the air.
- Wall-Crawling - Vampires are capable of scaling on surfaces opposite to the ground and on walls, possibly with their claws. They retreated the first time they fought the humans and crawled onto the walls like insects and into wholes in the walls and ceilings, leaving the remaining humans trapped in the bar lobby.
- Special Abilities - Richie stated that some Culebras can have a special ability, such as Santánico growing a pair of bat-like wings, Carlos able to crush someone like a boa constrictor and Amancio growing two extra pairs of appendages that look similar to a praying mantis. A vampire was able to spit venom into the faces of Santanico Pandemonium and Richie Gecko, sedating them both, which Amancio Malvado again used on Santanico.
If vampires are killed, they and anything they wear turns to desert-like dust with no trace that it was ever a creature. As of season 2, vampires are incinerated into ambers when they are killed, along with at least most of what they are wearing at the time, while some accessories, like glasses, are left behind.
- Sunlight - Direct, strong sunlight burns their skin and, if fully immersed in it, they will die and turn to dust along with what they wear. The touch of direct sunlight will either cause their skin to burn in smoke or be set ablaze. Only direct sunlight can harm a vampire, while one that remains in shade or shadows will remain unaffected by the sun. However, if a vampire has recently fed, it is able to walk in sunlight temporarily.
- Decapitation- Cutting off a vampire's head will not directly kill a vampire, but seems to simulate a state similar to death. It's presumed that if the head is reattached to the body, it will regenerate.
- Heart Destruction - Damaging or destroying their heart, the organ of blood and the source of their strength, usually by means of stabbing it, kills them and turns them and whatever they were into nothing but dust.
- Culebra Venom - It appears that snake venom or maybe actual culebra venom incapacitate vampires, as demonstrated when Carlos poisoned the goblets of the councilors to the Nine Lords of the Night by having snakes spew venom into the goblets. Minutes after the councilors consumed the poisoned blood from the goblets, they choked and couldn't move and were paralyzed, allowing Carlos to kill several of them while they sat helpless at the dinner table. A vampire was able to sedate both Santanico Pandemonium and Richie Gecko by spitting venom in their faces, which Amancio Malvado also used this on Santanico later on.

|Anyway to elect a coordinator from a network of brokers?
|Tue, 07 Aug 2007 18:16:09 GMT
Hi, I'm trying to build a distributed redundancy network where only one of the broker is suppose to produce message that will be consumed by all the consumers. We also require that a new coordinator to be elected immediately when the previous coordinator fails. JGroup has this ability of determine if a node is a coordinator within a group of nodes because the nodes are ordered in a list and the node at the top of the list is the coordinator. It updates the list when the coordinator fails and the next in the list becomes the coordinator. I'm wondering if there is similar mechanism in ActiveMQ or what would be the best way to go about electing a coordinator within the network of brokers. Any input is deeply appreciated. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Anyway-to-elect-a-coordinator-from-a-network-of-brokers--tf4231819s2354.html#a12039573 Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

|Slightly OT: Eclipse is acting up with SVN on OS X. Please help.
|Fri, 19 Aug 2005 21:07:31 GMT
Guys, I use Eclipse for Mac OS X: Version: 3.1.0 Build id: I20050401-1645 with Subclipse 0.9.30. It works fine. I figured I might as well move to the "official release" of Eclipse 3.1 with the current Subclipse 0.9.32. However, when I now try to open the SVN repository perspective I get an error. I moved back to the previous version (i.e. the combination I started with), all is fine. Does anyone have a clue? Thanks. Bye, Helma

Bible Commentaries
Abbott's Illustrated New Testament
Luke 14
Verse 1
To eat bread; to dine or to sup. This seems to have been an entertainment where there were many invited guests; as appears from allusions in Luke 14:3,7,12,15, &c. The whole conversation takes its turn from the circumstances of the occasion; the images and illustrations being drawn from entertainments and invitations to guests.
Verse 10
Then shalt thou have worship, &c. This shows that it was not our Savior's design, in these instructions, to teach men to be indifferent to the respect and honorable regard of their fellow-men, but to show them the true way to attain it,--namely, by modest and unassuming deportment, and by treating others with respect.
Luke 14:12-14. That is, the kindness and hospitality, which the wealthy have it in their power to bestow, are not to be regarded as Christian virtues, except when they are rendered to those who cannot make any return.
Verse 16
A great supper. This supper represents the kingdom of God, to which the guest had alluded, in the Luke 14:15; so that the parable is a rejoinder to his remark; and is intended to show that the Jews, who were first invited, would reject the blessedness, which this guest had spoken of, and that then the invitation would be extended to other nations.--Bade; invited.
Verse 33
And, therefore, whoever will become the disciple of Christ, must consider how much is involved in the change.

Lobo Rookies Rockin' at MW Championship
May 4, 2012
MW Tournament First Round Results
In Tucson, Ariz., the one question mark the 16th-ranked University of New Mexico men's golf team had going into the Mountain West Championship was how its three freshmen would handle the unfamiliarity of not only the course but also the pressure of playing in the event.
The answers after the first day of the event: 1 under par, 1 under par and 1 under par.
Behind the rookie trio of Victor Perez, Gavin Green and Sean Romero, the Lobos shot a 3-under 281 at the Catalina Course at the OMNI National Golf Club and finished in second place at the MW tournament. No. 15 San Diego State (as ranked by Golfweek.com) shot a 4-under 280 for a one-stroke lead in the eight-team field.
"We played the way you've got to play the golf course," said Lobo coach Glen Millican, who is looking for his first conference title since 2006. "The freshmen did a great job to get us to 3 under par and give us a chance to shoot another low round on Saturday."
The trio is tied for fifth place, four strokes behind the leader, Zahaki Brown of Colorado State. Brown's 5-under 66 even included bogeys on the 17th and 18th holes, and his round helped the Rams finish in fourth place at even-par 284.
TCU is third with a 2-under 282, and No. 14 UNLV is fifth with a 1-over 285.
Junior John Catlin is tied for 12th at even-par 71 for the Lobos, and fellow junior James Erkenbeck is tied for 15th with a 1-over 72.
Perez, who won the Aggie Invitational on April 21-22 in Bryan Texas, had a bogey-free round. Both Green and Romero overcame a rough patch to finish in the red.
Green was 2 under through 10 when he double-bogeyed his next hole and bogeyed No. 13 to creep up to 1-over. The freshman from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia finished with two birdies in his final three holes.'
Romero birdied his first hole but had a double-bogey on No. 2 and bogey on No. 5 to get to 2 over. The Texarkana, Texas native birdied Nos. 10, 11 and 12 to get back under par.
"Both Sean and Gavin did a fantastic job maintaining their composure," Millican said. "Nerves are always different at a tournament like this, but both guys didn't let it bother them and that was good to see."
Catlin finished his last nine holes at 2-under after a bogey on No. 9 left him at 2-over for the round. Erkenbeck, who is playing with a bruised left wrist after hurting it during a practice round Sunday, birdied No. 18 despite playing through some discomfort.
After last year's first round of the MW Championship, the Lobos were in eighth place and 13 strokes off the pace. Millican said he was pleased with the better start but said UNM has to stay focused Saturday.
"It's good to shoot a low score in the first round because you don't have to do anything different," Millican said. "You don't have to try to reel off a bunch of birdies to get back into it. But you do have to come back tomorrow and execute."
The Lobos will tee off at 10 a.m., Mountain Time, with the first-place Aztecs. Golfstat.com has live scoring for the event.

Montmorency Cherry Juice Can Reduce High Blood Pressure, Study Finds
A small new U.K. study has found that drinking tart Montmorency cherry juice can significantly reduce high blood pressure, with results comparable to those achieved by medication.
The new research, which is the first to look at the effect of Montmorency cherry concentrate (Prunus cerasus) on blood pressure, comes from Northumbria University's Department of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation.
The researchers recruited 15 male participants who showed signs of early hypertension (high blood pressure) with blood pressure readings of at least 130/90 mmHg. Readings at this level and above indicate a higher risk of experiencing cardiovascular related problems, with high blood pressure the leading cause of deaths from cardiovascular disease.
Some of the participants were then given 60ml of a Montmorency cherry concentrate while others received 60ml of a shop-bought fruit-flavored cordial.
Blood pressure readings and blood samples were taken before the juice was consumed and at regular intervals after consumption.
The results showed that those who had taken the cherry concentrate benefited from a drop in blood pressure of 7 mmHg in the three hours after consuming the drink when compared to drinking the fruit-flavored cordial, with the results comparable to those achieved by just a single anti-hypertensive drug.
The team also found that it was the participants with the highest blood pressure levels that benefited the most.
With even just a small reduction in blood pressure having a large impact on mortality rates from cardiovascular disease, the researchers believe the results could be significant in helping to lower and manage high blood pressure and prevent further health problems. Previous research has also shown reducing blood pressure by just 5-6 mmHg over a long-term period can reduce the risk of stroke by up to 38 per cent and coronary heart disease 23 per cent.
The researchers believe that it could be the phenolic acids, protocatechuic and vanillic compounds found in the concentrate which are responsible for the reduction in blood pressure, with participants showing the greatest reduction in blood pressure when these compounds reached their highest levels in the plasma.
Northumbria University has also found many other health benefits of Montmorency cherry concentrate, with the University's previous studies showing that it can improves both the quality and quantity of sleep, reduce symptoms of gout, and thanks to its anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties, help to muscle recovery after exercise.
The findings were published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.ALSO ON HUFFPOST:
About 1/2 cup of dried tart cherries has about 50 per cent of your daily intake of vitamin A and 10 per cent of potassium and fibre, says author and registered dietitian Dr. Wendy Bazilian. She adds tart cherries have about 19 times more vitamin A than blueberries or strawberries.
When our bodies are inflamed — either through redness, pain, cuts, bruises or injuries — eating tart cherries can help reduce the amount of inflammation, Bazilian says. "A study reported consumption of Montmorency tart cherry juice reduced blood levels of uric acid and C-reactive protein, a measure of inflammation."
Tart cherry juice is definitely popular among athletes, Bazilian says, especially post-training and post-exercise. About 12 ounces of tart cherry juice (two times for eight days) reduced pain post workouts, according to a study from the University of Vermont.
A common disorder that affects millions of people in North America, osteoarthritis is inflammation in the joints. Bazilian says a study from the Oregon Health & Science University found participants who drank 10.5-ounce bottles of tart cherry juice twice daily for 21 days experienced a significant reduction in serum biomarkers of inflammation. "They concluded that tart cherry juice may be an effective way for osteoarthritis patients to manage their disease."
A study from Louisiana State University found drinking juice made from Montmorency cherries twice a day for two weeks helped increase sleep time by nearly 90 minutes among older adults with insomnia.
Gout is a painful form of arthritis, with uric acid building up in the body. It can lead to painful joints (often in the toe) and even kidney stones. Bazilian says one study at Boston University found three and a half cups of tart cherries in two days reduced the risk of gout attacks by 35 per cent.
Bazilian adds studies also show tart cherries may help lower levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, reduce inflammation and improve belly fat – all factors specifically linked to heart disease risk. Research from the U-M Cardioprotection Research Laboratory found tart cherries were linked to a reduced risk of stroke, according to Science Daily.
Bazilian says one study from Oklahoma State University found adding tart cherries to your diet reduced age-related bone loss in mice. This research, however, has still not been tested on humans.

"I used a photo I had taken and lightened for the backdrop - it's beautiful! I've tried doing this card on other sites, but either the photo quality was sub-par or I couldn't manipulate it the way I wanted. This goes all the way to the edge of the paper, which is what I wanted. I also love being able to do a little something in the back of the card. One wish: I'd like to be able to justify the writing to the bottom of the print space. I figured it out myself but for everyone who's super persnickety about spacing, it would be nice to have a way to do it automatically. Overall: I love these cards. Beautiful quality. Totally getting them from here again."
"The front of the card was gorgeous but the print on the back was blurry and the red was bleeding into the white at the edges so it made the text hard to read."
"I designed a business card using photos of my work. The online design process is relatively easy, although the view varies from device to device (my iPad had better images than my laptop). The option to see a proof and update the product is very helpful, and the person providing prrofs was very responsive. I also like the option of up to three updates (I'd missed an error in my email address, it was easily fixed)."
"we love this card. have re ordered multiple times. we use it on our honey from our honey bee's. you won't be sorry. great customer service when I've had a question."

Google Gets "Last Chance" to Settle With EU on Antitrust Abuses

Google stands accused of boosting its ad services while suppressing rival ad vendors
A host of small competitors -- including TripAdvisor (Mass., U.S.), Opodo (pan-European), Hotmaps (German), Foundem (UK), and eDreams (UK) -- have filed complaints against Google Inc. (
) before antitrust regulators in the European Union accusing the smartphone operating system and search giant of
manipulating search results to boost its own offerings
. Google offers a variety of services, which are monetized through advertising.
Microsoft Corp. (
), an online advertising rival of Google's, is the largest firm to have complained to the EU about the alleged abuses. Currently there are 16 complaints against Google.
Stat Owl
] and
Net Market Share
] both estimate Google to control roughly 81 percent of the search market. Microsoft's Bing is thought be in second place with nearly 9 percent. In Europe Google's market share is estimated to reach even higher -- approximately 86 percent, according to
, another online statistics service.
An EU antitrust probe against Google
was first launched in 2010, looking into the claims of search abuse. EU Competition Commissioner Joaquin Almunia says that like Google, the European Commission -- Europe's antitrust watchdog -- is eager to avoid fines or trouble from non-compliance.
The EU is concerned Google is abusing its dominant search position.

The EU investigation found signs that Google did indeed abuse its dominant position. But the EU is willing to avoid formal charges if Google vows to change it ways and commits to a closely monitored program of compliance.
In a letter Eric Schmidt, Google's executive chairman, Mr. Almunia writes:|
Google Inc. has repeatedly expressed to me its willingness to discuss any concerns that the Commission might have without having to engage in adversarial proceedings. This is why I am today giving Google an opportunity to offer remedies to address the concerns we have already identified.
In this letter, I offer Google the possibility to come up in a matter of weeks with first proposals of remedies...
If Google comes up with an outline of remedies which are capable of addressing our concerns, I will instruct my staff to initiate the discussions in order to finalise a remedies package. This would allow to solve our concerns by means of a commitment decision – pursuant to Article 9 of the EU Antitrust Regulation - instead of having to pursue formal proceedings with a Statement of objections and to adopt a decision imposing fines and remedies.
David Wood, a lawyer for lobbying group ICOMP whose members include Microsoft, Foundem, and Hotmaps, explains that non-compliance or failure to respond convincingly will likely bring on formal charges. He

Europe's antitrust laws allow regulators to fine up to 10 percent of a violator's global revenue. While the EU is best known for its massive billion-plus dollar
fines of Intel
Corp. (
and Microsoft
Corp. (
) for persistent antitrust violations, the region's regulators have also made peace with other investigation subjects.
As Mr. Almunia points out in his letter/threat to Google, International Business Machines, Inc. (
) faced a similar investigation in 2011, but was able to
resolve it without formal charges
being filed. While Google disputes wrongdoing in the case, it may wish to follow IBM's lead in order to avoid painful fines.
IBM wisely avoided EU fines in a similar probe, while Microsoft and Intel
"did things the hard way". [Image Source: Reuters/Rick Wilking]
Even if Google settles, Mr. Almunia says it will still face some other probes, such as an investigation into complaints that Google
"snooped" on private communications on unsecured networks
, using its "Street View" cars.

It's been a great year for my investment property. I keep a very close eye on what's happening with house prices in my area, and lately things are going well. Very well.
I'm up about 50% on what I paid back in 2007, and because my interest is greater than the rental income, I actually get a really nice tax deduction. That's why I was happy to borrow 90% of the property value and to have an interest-only loan.
As long as interest rates don't rise too much, and as long as we keep seeing strong rates of growth in property prices, I'm going to make a fortune!
Tough to please
You'd think my mum would be proud, but she thinks my investment is crazy. She says that any asset that loses money each year didn't seem very attractive to her.
She wasn't even impressed by my capital gain, saying I was ignoring some substantial renovation costs, not to mention all the strata, council rates, insurance, interest and stamp duty costs. Including these, and averaging the return out over the past 7 years, Mum thinks the return is probably less than what I would have made in a savings account. And she reminded me that my agent takes a chunk of the rent, too.
She was even sceptical that prices could keep rising at such a strong rate, quoting some nonsense about a much lower longer term average, and that affordability considerations necessarily limited the pace of future growth.
Mum also reckons that my focus on short term prices was a waste of time, and that I'd be better off considering the longer term income generation potential of my property. She said unless I started paying down the loan, I was never going to earn a cent in net income, especially when interest rates eventually rise.
Mum's better way
But what does she know? Her money is invested in shares. At least my property doesn't change in value every day!
Although, according to her, it's the price that changes each day, not the value. And besides, she reckons my property's price would probably change a lot too, if I held an auction every day.
At any rate, she tells me the volatility doesn't bother her; despite all the ups and downs of the market, despite all manner of crashes, economic bumps and wars, her shares have actually increased by over 11% annually, on average, for the last 30 years.
Not that she pretends to be some great stock picker; apparently all she did was buy into a basket of quality Australian dividend paying companies. Some had done poorly, but most had done well, and a few had done really, really well.
Besides, she said, her focus wasn't on the changes in price, but rather the income her shares produced. Mum reckons that there are no ongoing costs with her shares and that because of 'franking credits' the income is extraordinarily tax effective.
When I pointed out that I paid no tax on my investment property, she simply said that she would rather make money and pay tax, than lose money and pay no tax. I need to ask my accountant about that.
Nevertheless, she doesn't get that its all about the capital gain for me, and that the trend in house prices was extremely favourable.
Mum's Foolish takeaway
When I tried to explain, she simply said: "Any investment where the return rests entirely on people paying a higher and higher premium to the underlying income potential was extraordinarily risky, especially one which requires ongoing costs. And that's true regardless of whether you are talking about property or shares.
"Both are great investments, but if your focus is the folly of short term prices, if you ignore the real value (not price) of the asset, you are gambling and will ultimately achieve returns that are typical for that endeavour."
I'll keep thinking about that. In the meantime, I'm off to check last week's auction results. (A confession… No, I don't own a highly-geared investment property -- in fact, I don't own an investment property at all. But if I did, this is probably what Mum would say, and she'd be right!)

Mistra Financial Systems is a MISTRA funded research program that aims to investigate what kinds of changes that are needed to make financial systems more conducive to social and environmental sustainability. The program will run for four years, with the potential for extension. Cecilia has focused her career on finance and sustainability for the past 10-12 years by, for example, supporting investors (such as the Swedish AP funds) to invest in accordance with their sustainability policies, demonstrating how the multilateral development banks (World Bank, IFC) can more effectively incorporate environmental considerations into their project finance, and by developing practical tools for creditors and investors.

text: I just can't figure this out: When I import/merge a .reg file (v5 format) manually by right-clicking the file in Explorer, it works perfectly. But if I try to import the very same .reg file in a batch file, it doesn't do anything! The .reg file is only changing keys under HKEY_USERS. Here's a sample: Code:Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [-HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3499517676-2516875876-2438310748-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.3g2] [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3499517676-2516875876-2438310748-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.3g2] [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3499517676-2516875876-2438310748-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.3g2\OpenWithProgids] "VLC.3g2"=hex(0): [HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-3499517676-2516875876-2438310748-1000\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.3g2\UserChoice] "Progid"="VLC.3g2"I'm running 64-bit Windows 7 SP1, and I've disabled UAC, and I run as Administrator, so that's not the problem. But just in case, in the batch file I used NirSoft's NirCmd (http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html) to elevate the command level to run as System, as follows:Code:NirCmd.exe ElevateCommand RunAsSystem C:\Windows\Regedit.exe /S "PathToRegFile.reg"But as I said, nothing in the registry gets changed from that batch file command! (By the way, before turning to NirCmd out of desperation, it originally said just "Regedit /S "PathToRegFile.reg"). The batch file and commands work correctly under 32-bit XP Pro, but none of those batch files that import reg files work under 64-bit Windows 7! What's going on?

Version 1
- Casey Jones: (angrily) Heather. Ha! Heather. It burns me up. After all I try to do for her, who is her conscience anyway? Me or that female Heather herself?! Right! I have had just about enough of this. I'm going to take the next boat out of here. Open up that door. Open up! I want to go home. (hears a braying noise)
- Dr. Robotnik: Come on, you blokes. Keep it moving. We haven't got all night. Now be there, lads.
- Casey Jones: (puzzled) Now where did all those toys come from?
- Dr. Robotnik: Come on, let's have another! (toy appears) And what's your name?
- Toy Alien: Haw, hee!
- Dr. Robotnik: Okay, you'll do. In you go. (kicks the toy alien in with the other toy aliens) You will soon make a nice price. (laughs evilly) Alright, next! (Little Toot appears) And what might your name be?
- Little Toot: Little Toot.
- Dr. Robotnik: Oh! So you can talk, eh?
- Little Toot: Yes sir, I wanna go home find Big Toot.
- Dr. Robotnik: TAKE HIM BACK, HE IS STILL A TUGBOAT, WHO CAN STILL TALK!
- Little Toot: Please, please, I don't want to be a girl. (All the other tugboats beg) Let me out of here.
- Dr. Robotnik: Quiet! You girls have had your fun. Now pay for it!
- Casey Jones: Girls? So that what. Princess Sally!
- Heather: Ha! The way you hear that engineer speak. (takes a sip of her beer) You're thinking something's about to happen to us. (suddenly sprouts out donkey ears)
- Princess Sally Acorn: Huh?! (gapes, looks at her beer, realizes that it has an effect in it, and pushes it away) Ugh!!
- Heather: Conscience. (grabs her cue stick) Ah, phooey! (strikes a ball and sprouts out a donkey tail)
- Princess Sally Acorn: Hmm?! (with her cigar in her mouth) Oh? (throws it away) Hmph!
- Heather: Where does he get that stuff? How do you ever expect to be a real girl? (leans over the pool table and strikes another ball) Now who do you think I am? (turns around, grabs her cigar, and shows Princess Sally Acorn that she has alligator teeth like a crocodile) Mr. Tick-Tock?!
- Princess Sally Acorn: (gasps and twitches her eye) You sure are! (laughs, but suddenly brays in the middle of her laughter, and covers her mouth in shock)
- Heather: Hey, you laugh like a donkey! (laughs, then also begins to bray, and covers her mouth to stop) Did that come out of me?!
- Princess Sally Acorn: (gulps and nods her head) Uh-huh.
- Heather: (touches her back, realizes that she has a donkey tail, and grabs its end) Oh! (opens her mouth and feels that she has crocodile teeth) Huh? (feels her ears and realizes that they are long until she tugs at them) What the--? What's going on?! (looks in the mirror, realizes that she is turning into Tick-Tock the crocodile, and screams in terror) Aaaahh! I've been double-crossed! Help! Help! (runs around the pool hall) Somebody, help! I've been framed! Help! (begs to Princess Sally Acorn, who was backing into a wall, and getting her braces grabbed by the hands of Heather) Please, you must help me. Look, come on, I promise you will be a friend. Call that engineer. Call anybody. (lets go off Princess Sally Acorn's braces as her hands close up and become hooves. Princess Sally Acorn gasps in terror) Papa? PAAAAAAAPAAAAAAAA... (In the shadow, poor Heather's skin turns green, and as Princess Sally Acorn runs around, gulps nervously, and hides under a chair, after Heather has turned into Tick-Tock the crocodile, who was beginning to bray uncontrolably, kicking the mirror on the glass window, kicking everything, and throwing off all her clothes. When Heather leaves braying widely, Princess Sally Acorn suddenly sprouts out grey donkey ears)
- Princess Sally Acorn: Hmm? Huh?! Oh! What's happening?
- Casey Jones: (hurries to save Princess Sally Acorn) Oh, I hope I'm not too late.
- Princess Sally Acorn: (looks all around) What will I do?! (sprouts out a grey donkey tail, grabs its end, and gasps in terror) Oh!
- Casey Jones: (rushes into the rescue) Princess Sally Acorn?!
- Princess Sally Acorn: Casey Jones?! Oh, Casey Jones, please help me!
- Casey Jones: Hey, Princess Sally Acorn, quick, the kids. They're girls. They're all toys and animals! (gasps in horror when he sees poor Princess Sally Acorn turning into a donkey) Oh! You too! (Princess Sally Acorn nods her head nervously) Come on, quick, before you get any worse. (grabs Princess Sally Acorn by her glove on her hand and takes her away from the pool hall) This way, Princess Sally Acorn, it's the only way out. (The two continue to hurry on their way out of here in the moment in which poor Princess Sally Acorn is about to get any worse) Come on, quick, before they see us. (puts a watch round his wrist, wears his red t-shirt, just like Jake Spankenheimer's, blue swimming trunks, just like Ash Ketchum's, Johnny Bravo's sandles, black train driver, yellow shades, snorkel mask, diving tank, and green bag-pack while poor Princess Sally Acorn takes her Pinocchio costume off, puts it into Casey Jones's bagpack, and her Pinocchio costume reaveles her blue bikini, which is under her Pinocchio costume, before she puts on her blue swimming cap, black flippers, dive tank, snorkel mask, and swimming gloves when she and Casey Jones reach the top of the cliff) You've got to jump. (Casey Jones and Princess Sally Acorn jump off the cliff and dive in with Casey Jones doing a cannonball dive and Princess Sally Acorn doing a clap dive together as they dive into the river and swim away from Pleasure Island)
- and more
Version 2
- Casey Jones: Well, it's about time! (Willie sneezing)
- (Pedro flies up on the mouth)
- Princess Sally Acorn: Hang on! And here we go!
- (Willie sneezes)
- Casey Jones: (nearly loses his clothes) Bless you!
- (Willie inhales)
- King Max Acorn: We're going back, sweetie.
- Princess Sally Acorn: No, father, we'll make it this, so let's go faster.
- (Willie pulls poor Pedro, Princess Sally Acorn, and King Acorn back in)
- King Max Acorn: It's no use, we're done for!
- (Willie sneezes again and spits out Pedro, Princess Sally Acorn and King Max Acorn out of his mouth again)

Paul Carr: Fleet Foxes serve up another taste of their new album with this progressive folk song that comes across like a lost and less psychedelic Jefferson Airplane number. As expected it harnesses the power of the harmonies which after six years sound as fresh as ever. Just when things seem to be getting too settled the mood and tempo shift to reveal a gauzy, floaty gem of a chorus. A timely reminder of what we've been missing. [8/10]
Latest Blog Posts
Mike Schiller: It's just two verses and a hook, but these verses kill. Vince Staples hasn't been around long but his mastery of meter, rhythm, and wordplay is in full effect throughout "Big Fish", which says its piece and leaves us wanting more. It sounds like it's a tale of self-aggrandizement thanks to its hook, but the lyrics are another tale of the difficulty and conflicts of interest that came with the gang affiliations of his youth (not to mention the literal sinking ship of the video). "Big Fish" is a fine way to lead into his new album. [9/10]
Electronic producer Mux Mool is fascinated by the sounds of classic arcade games as well as abstraction and experimentation. He grew up in Minnesota endlessly absorbed by an inexpensive little sampling keyboard, amazed by how changed when you lower an octave. Mux Mool used that tool and many more keyboards after it to keep chasing the sounds he wanted to create. After a couple of releases through Ghostly International, Mux Mool released his 2016 album Implied Lines via Bandcamp, but now he's re-releasing the record via Young Heavy Souls and adding two tracks, including "Starfighter Courage" that we are premiering today.
Nashville's *repeat repeat have an amazing sound that's rooted in garage rock and psychedelic rock, but possesses the energy and attitude of punk alongside some killer harmony singing that artists in Nashville do better than anyone else. The band's sound is urgent with slashing guitars, waves of synths, yet beautifully melded to a hazy, sunny Calfornia vibe. They are describing themselves as a "surf rockcandy trio", but their sound is a lot broader than that to my ears. I hear a significant way forward for the guitar and rock music, which have been maligned of late as things of the past. *repeat repeat's stunning guitar work powers the rhythms and beats, but it also colors each passage and creates multiple voices in the music. The way the guitar effortlessly blends with the electronic elements in the song "Plugged In" that we're premiering today, is impressive.
Last year when we reviewed St. Lenox's most recent album Ten Hymns From My American Gothic, John Paul said the record was "nothing short of a 21st-century pop masterpiece". The album also appeared on our best albums of 2016 list. Now St. Lenox has an exciting new project on tap as he is bundling this album with his previous LP Ten Songs About Memory and Hope into a single audio collection as well as releasing a visual album for Ten Hymns From My American Gothic. Each song from St. Lenox's last album now has an accompanying video and Andrew Choi (a.k.a. St. Lenox) says it is the first individually-made DIY visual album with him creating, playing and recording the music as well as directing the videos. It's an ambitious and worthy project that could set the stage for more artists to develop these sort of projects given that we now live in a video-driven world.

I have been to three doctors and he the only ONE who was able to diagnose my swollen glad as infected. As soon as possible, I'm having him operate on me to remove my deviated septum.

I recently had balloon sinuplasty performed by Dr. Fishman. He's been my ENT for many years and I trust his experience and skill. My results are great, I can breathe clearly and the best thing is I'm not getting frequent sinus infections like I used to. He has treated my entire family and operated on my kids. I trust Dr. Fishman and we're glad he's our doctor.

i think it would turn to ice...but possibly am wrong.
Me asked this question a while ago..if the search facility worked I could found it...but me thinks it would get hotter. Hot enough to make a nice cup of tea.(though me drinks coffee,,but I said tea cos that sounds more quaint)
Lol. I love it when you say the "As a firm believer in empirical study.." Its hillarious. []I think you've turned 8.5 again. []
But making water into a solid (ice).. Don't you cool it, instead of heat it?
Yes. It gives off heat because the particles become more closer together and lose energy. But still isnt the "thing" itself, cold? Not the thing which is given off.
This question can have quite a few answers, depending on variables.Firstly, while most liquids can shrink by becoming sold, water is one of the exceptions in that crystalline ice takes more space than water at the same temperature. It is possible you may form amorphous ice.If you squeeze hard enough (harder than would be possible with anything on Earth), the electrons would fuse into the nucleus of the atoms, creating neutons (this is what happens in a neutron star - but under immense gravitational force).Increase the pressure even harder, and you will form your own black hole (although a very small black hole would be unstable).
