He said he* will issue an order for no more police escorts in Benton county, except in special circumstances. Popenhagen said he has received calls for an escort several times where it was questionable* whether an emergency vehicle was really needed. He said it is more dangerous to escort someone than to let them go through on their own, especially at night, as |K*oplc* sometimes pull over for sirens and flashing rt-d lights and then pull back onto roads as soon as the* vehicle has passed, not realizing there may be* a second vehic le coming.

Flora Fun!
Here goes my fourth planted tank!!
I just purchased a Fluval Flora to replace my 10 gal tank. Since I have an arrangement of only two tanks at a time in the house lol, I will be tearing down the 10 gal. and placing this tank where the 10 gal once stood.
My plans are:
Replace the stock light with one of my 26 watt CFL clip on desk lamps.
Reuse my paintball co2 system for this tank (the included co2 system would cost me a fortune to keep running with the price of the canisters)
I am going to use everything else that came with the tank. Including leaving the foam rock background (I like it).
I do plan a dramatic slope in the tank from back left to front right. This may or may not include rock, or the piece of driftwood that was in my 10 gal, all will be decided when I do the setup lol.
The plants will all be taken from my 36 gal, and some from the 10 gal for the initial planting.
I do have some led moon lights that will make the move to this tank as well.
Stay tuned for the setup.
Here are some un-boxing pics.
everything included in the box.
My little helper (more like terror sometimes) My daughters cat "Cupcake"
Everything in one shot.
Very nice. I know I've enjoyed my Ebi for some time now. The link's in my sig, I just updated too! Also, are you going to use that CO2 system that comes with the tank? If I were you, I'd sell it on eBay or something and get the money to set up a paintball system. Or use the money for plants/shrimp etc. Speaking of which, what are you considering for stocking? And for plants? Are you doing DSM? And don't forget to join the Fluval Pimp Club and post your scape in my "Post your Ebi/Flora here" Thread.
Congratulation on being a father of your new baby Flora.
Some lol
New Pics!!!
I managed to land some plants at the CAS auction today so the tank has some new to me plants lol I kept the anubias after a quick H2o2 dip. The Parva was also kept. I kept my tiger lotus, and brought in some of the star grass from my 36, added a small stem of Hygrophila Kompact, and added the rest to my 36 gal. There is a very small stem of Ludwiga ovalis, a couple stems of Rotala rotundifolia. Lets see if I can get them to bush out like the didlipsis did lol.
The fish were NOT happy with me, With my sparkling gourami being the most pissed lol. Once I got them in the new home, they seem to be very interested. Jelly one of my two badis has already staked claim to the small cave created under part of the driftwood. He has chased everyone out so far. Peanut butter the other badis is still searching for his home.
I still have some planting to do. the area in the lower left is going to get a carpet of marsilea hirsuta when I find some. This should help hold the slope in the tank well. The plan is to let the stems in the back bush out, and leave the foreground with as little clutter as possible.
The tank location. messy from the tank tear down.
Tank getting filled!!!
Freshly filled, restocked and planted!
http://i243.photobucket.com/albums/f...a/IMG_0496.jpgMandatory quarter shot!
Moon lights.... it is more awesome in person!
Its looking great!
Keep it up! :D
Nice moon lights! Where'd you get 'em? What did you put on top of the stratum? Gravel? So far it's looking good! Keep it up! I LOVE my ebi. Sooo much. Also, how do scarlet badis do with shrimp? I kinda want to get some for my ebi. Thanks!
Wow, very nice!!! Great job!!
The moon lights are from petsmart
I have two of the lights one on each side of the tank in the rear facing to the front.
I have an iron rich substrate called Activ-flora over the top of the stratum, eventually a carpet will be covering it all up. It was out of my 10 gal.
I would be worried with the scarlet badis with shrimpletes. They might get eaten.
Great job on the new setup. :thumbsup: That piece of mopani wood looks awesome in there.
Better pictures, not the greatest, but better than the first ones lol
Overall tank shot.
Right side of the tank.
Left Side of the tank
Danios (these suckers are hard to photograph)
Peanut butter and Jelly waiting for food (they attempted flake food tonight, guess they felt left out)
One has staked claim to the little cave created by the driftwood behind the parva, it is very funny, he goes inside then pokes his head out when other fish go near.
Wow pic got turned upsidown lol
I could not find sparkler the sparkling gourami to get his picture, he hides most of the time, very shy fish.
Lol, we have the same taste in fish I see :b I have Danios and Darios in my nano as well...
And was actually just looking for chili rasboras for the new setup...possibly. Where did you find yours?

Giant spider
this wiki
|Release date
|4 January 2001 (Update)
|Combat level
|2, 27, 50
|Always drops
|I think this spider has been genetically modified.
Giant spiders are very large spiders most commonly seen around Lumbridge. They are easy to defeat, and are weak against magical attacks.
- Lumbridge (level 2)
- Near Outlaw Camp, west of Grand Exchange (level 2)
- Varrock Sewer (level 2 & 27)
- Wilderness, Ruins west of Bandit Camp (level 21)
- Wilderness, northwest of Lava Dragon Isle (level 27)
- Stronghold of Security: Pit of Pestilence (level 50)
Stronghold of SecurityEdit
There are also level 50 giant spiders in the Stronghold of Security in Barbarian Village. They are commonly used by players with Defence levels around 60 or higher to get Combat experience quickly and easily. There are two rooms that are most commonly used for training. The first is the western room, which can be found just north of the third level ladder. The second area is north-east of this room, and it has the spiders very densely packed.
Giant spiders are good for training because they are both aggressive towards all players, regardless of combat level, and have very low Defence. They have the same amount of health as rock crabs, and as such, provide similar experience rates; however they are unsuitable for players with low Defence to train on as they can deal up to 7 damage with relative accuracy.
They are generally better than rock crabs for higher levels to train on because they are much more densely packed together, and they also don't require players to move around to reset their aggressiveness as often.
Strategies Edit
As stated previously, the spiders found in the Stronghold of Security are an excellent training option for higher levelled players. The strategies below may help players get the best results out of attempting to train there.
It may be practical to bring a ring of life over any other ring because the spiders stay aggressive for a long time; for this reason, and their steady rate of damage, inattentive players are likely to be killed. As long as the wearer's Hitpoints level is above 70, a ring of life completely prevents a player from dying.
It is strongly recommended that a player has at least level 40 Attack and Defence when training melee in this area. As giant spiders do not take much accuracy bonuses to hit on consistently, the experience rates are largely predetermined by a player's Strength level and bonuses. As such it is recommended to use a quick weapon such as a dragon scimitar or an abyssal whip along with equipping armour which will sustain the player for as long as possible without having to bank. Degradable equipment will break rather quickly due to the constant combat that power leveling involves, so it is recommended to bring either rune or dragon armour. Bringing a powerful shield such as a blessed spirit shield or a dragonfire shield is advisable, however a dragon defender is still a very good option. Any armour or equipment that provides a strength bonus such as Bandos equipment, a fighter torso or a fire cape is very helpful, but by no means necessary.
A common special weapon to use is the dragon battleaxe, but Excalibur is also viable because it reduces damage intake, allowing players to both stay longer and check the screen less often if semi-afking. Players should be wary that continued use of dragon battleaxe's special can diminish their Attack and Defence levels significantly over time, and as such are recommended to use attack or super attack potions to supplement their attack level. Alternatively, a Saradomin godsword can significantly prolong a trip for a players training any combat style, so long as they are able to obtain or buy one.
Training Ranged at giant spiders is still viable despite the fact that ranged equipment provides less melee protection by default. A Rune crossbow with broad bolts or a Dorgeshuun crossbow will provide substantial experience rates, however more expensive ammunition can be used if desired. As they have low defence it is possible to bring tank armour and still hit consistently; because of this bringing a dragonhide body along with platelegs, a helmet and a shield is a generally good choice. Alternatively Void equipment can be used, however a more powerful shield may be needed to compensate for a lack of defence.
Players who are willing to use up runes for Magic experience may with to train on giant spiders as they have no magical resistance, and as such, it is possible to cast spells while wearing a full set of melee armour. Casting Fire strike or Fire bolt is relatively cheap and produces a decent amount of Magic experience, however a salamander can be used as a cheaper option.
Banking Edit
The most practical banking method is wearing a charged amulet of glory and teleporting to Edgeville to restock. However, players who have completed Desert Treasure may wish to remain on the ancient spellbook in order to be able to cast Edgeville Home Teleport which can substitute teleportation items altogether. Players who have an amulet of glory mounted in their house are able to use their mounted amulet, as it can be used for as long as the player is able to use Teleport to house.

Really love the park only reason we didn't give it 10 stars is no sewer.
Most walking paths are cemented sidewalks. Most are nice large space. - JustDon
Aug 2016 - $24.00
Nice State park with lots of shade and room between sites. Bring plenty of wood for leveling, the sites are way off level. Interior roads are in need of repairs. No over air tv but a few sites can get satellite. Good laundry facilities. Bring all your supplies because the stores aren't close. Would have given a higher rating if the sites were more level and had sewer. We would camp here again if in the area. - southernsky

Everyone was very helpful and nice. It had large shade tree with a fishing pond in front. Family friendly and pet friendly. The grounds was well kept. They were very strict when it came to the park policy. But in all was a nice park; I would stay there again. One bad point was it was close to a train track and it was loud during the day but at night it was pleasant. - ShihTzu Crazy

This park was on a large highway, but if you are in the back of the park, the noise level is minimal. The sites are fairly level, but there are lots of trees to maneuver around. We had a problem with their sewer lines backing up on a Saturday and were told that we would have to wait until Monday, since a weekend call would cost more money. So we could not use our bathroom in the camper for a couple of days until their lines were repaired. There is a sizable pond at the entrance to the park and fishing is allowed. We would stay here again if we go back into the area. - hippichik

Camped 3 nights while visiting son stationed at Fort Polk. Easy to get to. Seems designed mostly for extended stay. There is no office, and we never met any staff. After we left, we called and asked for the mailing address to send payment. I believe they have Wi-Fi, but I never met anyone to get access. There is a building with washers/dryers, and restrooms. Restrooms were undergoing some work, so not the cleanest. Overall not a bad experience, but different than most parks. - texpilot

We found this park by accident. We were looking for an RV Park close to Fort Polk and happened on this one by accident. It is right outside (approximate 2 1/2 miles) from the gate off of LA 467. About 7 miles from the town of Leesville. The price given is based on the weekly fee of $85. This is so convenient to the post. The campsites are gravel with full hook-ups including cable. Their Wi-Fi is fast and free. Also while we were there they were putting in brand new restrooms and a laundry. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to all. Very friendly owner and quite helpful. - Janeen

The park was nice and very quiet. It has 2 fishing areas, swimming area and a kids playground. There was quite a bit of boat traffic with the boat launch but noise was not an issue even with us being set up right on the water. Sites were paved and fairly level but water and electrical hookups were far off from the pad. We barely had enough water hose to make the connection so an extra hose would be helpful. The bathrooms were clean but need some upgrading especially in the showers. The lights were burnt along the jetty but the Pier lights worked fine. We caught a few fish but mainly Catfish. We will stay again soon. - Rnaogea

My family and I stayed at this park for two months while we moved. It is a beautiful park that is set up really well. The sites have full hookups. They are paved and level. The lake, pier, and beach are great. There is a playground and fish cleaning station. The staff is friendly. The only reason that I give this campground a 9 is because the site we had was on a hill and mud washed over our pad during a hard rain. - The Dowdy's

We have stayed at this park several times and each time it has been very enjoyable. Looking forward to the next visit. Highly recommended. - JBarker

Leslie Burke Has No Right to Live: It's All About the Money
By Wesley J. Smith — May 18, 2005
The cat has leaped out of the bag in the Leslie Burke case. The government
has argued
that it would be too expensive to permit some patients who want to live to remain alive if doctors don't agree. This is blatant health care rationing.
Health care rationing is medical discrimination by a polite name. And it pits some patients against others. The UK government seems to be intentionally pitting healthier and able bodied patients against the ill and disabled by their public arguments. The idea is that if people like Burke can demand food and water or other forms of life sustenance, other types of health care will have to be limited. Shame on them.
A more reasonable approach would be to separate tube-supplied food and water from other forms of care. That would take care of Leslie Burke. Then, the other issues of health care resources could be argued. For example, is it just that some people be denied wanted life-sustaining medical treatment so that NHS can offer other patients free care?

OAK: The MSG of Wine
Recipe for Chardonnay
One 10,000-gallon fermentation tank
10,000 gallons of Chardonnay grape juice
Two 25-pound burlap sacks of oak chips (extra-light, light, medium toast, extra-medium toast, heavy toast, or extra-heavy toast)
1. Toss oak sacks into tank with Chardonnay juice.
2. Let steep for about a month, lifting and dunking occasionally (like giant tea bags).
3. Fish out sacks.
4. Bottle and label.
Serves 106,000
Many kinds of containers are used to ferment grape juice into wine. The following are the three most popular:
- Stainless steel, a neutral environment. It imparts nothing to the fermenting wine-zero aroma, flavor, or mouthfeel.
- Used oak (barrels that have held wine in a previous year). It imparts weight and a rich, viscous mouthfeel without adding sweetness or flavoring.
- New oak. It adds a lot: enriched body, tannin, and certain unmistakable aromas and tastes. These include vanilla, caramel, buttered toast, and all too often, burnt popcorn kernels. Above all, new oak adds its own nonvinous, rough-hewn sweetness.
- The staves of oak barrels allow mild, beneficial oxidation of wines as they age.
- Oak enriches a wine's body and adds viscosity.
- Oak's natural tannins act as a preservative for wine (important for aging big reds and a few whites).
- It creates a vanilla-like sweetness.
Oak is generally used in the form of barrels. Wines fermented in oak barrels are far more powerfully influenced by its character than wines merely aged in them. Oak should be applied only to a wine that already boasts substantial weight and flavor of its own, and that means rich reds, primarily. While the expert use of oak barrels in the maturation of great red wines is essential, misuse merely contributes strong barrel flavors that obliterate any varietal aromas in a wine. Very few white wine varieties reap any benefit from contact with new oak. New oak acts on white wine like MSG, sweetening up but dumbing down whatever vibrant varietal signature exists.
For Chardonnay, the grape on which new oak cooperage is most often lavished, varietal character is a nonissue. As a variety, Chardonnay has so little flavor of its own that it is often entirely dependent on a winemaker's "recipe." Most Chardonnays are created in the winery with oak, not in the vineyard with pruning shears. For Riesling, Chenin Blanc, and Sauvignon Blanc, the food world's three most important white wine grape varieties, new oak is the Antichrist. The joy of these varieties as food mates is their freshness, delicacy, and succulence, all qualities that wilt in the presence of new wood.
For many years, the American public, who are by no definition daily wine drinkers, have been seduced by wines oaked in the most heavy-handed method imaginable. Virtually all under-$10 white wines produced in the United States are sugared with oak chips, powders, and essences. Oak-obsessed California winemakers simply will not let the poor palate-dead American consumer come up for air. (To be fair, neither will the Australians, South Africans, or Chileans.) It's nearly impossible to find a nonoaked domestic white wine of any kind, save a handful of East Coast whites and a very few West Coast examples (Randall Grahm's Malvasian bonbons). This begs the question: Why is virtually all white wine made in America bludgeoned with oak?
American wine drinkers, as well as those of countless other nations, are weaned on cold sweet drinks fruit juice, soda pop, etc. Since all alcohol is puritanically forbidden here until at least voting age, we have never been a wine-drinking nation. Our first tentative contact with the grape is logically made most painless with a beverage of comparable sweetness to fruit juice and soda pop. Once we are initiated into a world of oaked wines, our reprogramming requires a complete reinterpretation of individual taste.
There are actually grape varieties that provide us with the sort of sweetness we love without relying on enhancement by nonliving substances. Unfortunately (or fortunately), these wondrous varieties don't flourish well in most parts of the world.
To satisfy the great American sweet tooth, the wine industry has marked each decade with a new "pop wine": Cold Duck in the sixties, Lambrusco in the seventies, white Zinfandel in the eighties, and finally in the nineties, the great seducer Chardonnay.
Since Americans historically have little or no contact with clean, well-made, nonoaked wines, they neither understand nor enjoy them. They do enjoy the concept of wine as long as it doesn't taste like wine. Oaked wines are far easier for non-wine-drinkers to deal with. They are mild, low-acid, sweet beverages that are popular for many of the some reasons as fastfood hamburgers: The taste is reliable, always the same not great but no surprises.
The wine establishment, because of a combination of taking the path of least resistance and its own nonenlightened wine experience, has become an unwitting accomplice to this oak-driven madness.
When consumers, retailers, and restaurateurs cease associating the aroma of oak with quality, perhaps winemakers will stop abusing it. In my twenty-five years' experience teaching consumer and wait staff wine classes, I've found that when someone who's genuinely interested in wine tastes a range of examples uninfluenced by new-oak treatment, set out side by side with oaked wines, they become instant converts to "the real thing."

Willie Gluckstern hits it on the head. Having worked in the wine business for several years, and supporting the industry as a consumer for over 30 years. We have discovered...there is a lot of hype out there. Over-oaked chardonnays...(or stuff put on the bottom of the stainless tanks to make the stuff taste "oak-like" or "buttery") has been promoted way past its expiration date. Each person needs to taste each wine themselves, with and without food, to determine what they prefer. Yes, there are some basic rules..strong chardonnay is needed for stinky fish, a sweeter wine such as Riesling will compliment a hot dish such as Thai or hot Spanish cuisine. Cabs go best with Beef....etc... Buy the book, try the wine, and let us know what you think!

Lesson 28 Writing & Balancing Equations
-The student will write chemical equations representing reactions.
-The student will balance chemical equations.
PA Science and Technology Standards: 3.4.10.A; 3.4.12.A; 3.2.10.B
PA Mathematics Standards: 2.2.11.A, 2.4.11.E, 2.5.11.A
I.Atoms and Mass are conserved in chemical
a.There are word equations and chemical equations for a reaction
i.Hydrogen + Oxygen Water
ii.H2 + O2 H2O
b.The only problem with the chemical equation we have written is that there is more oxygen on the left than on the right – this is not possible considering the law of conservation of mass.
c.Also, when we measure the masses of the reactants and the products, there is no difference.
d. We need to find some way to show that the reaction has occurred, but following this information
II.Coefficients indicate amounts of reactants and products
a.We can place numbers in front of each of the reactants and products to indicate the amount of that reactant or product that is present in the reaction.
b.We call these numbers coefficients
c.We cannot change the subscripts associated with any of the elements involved in the reaction.
d.Coefficients can only go in front of compounds or single elements present – not in the middle of a chemical formula.
i.Unbalanced --- H2 + O2 H2O
ii.Balanced --- 2H2 + O2 2H2O
f. The process of inserting coefficients to make sure that the law of conservation of mass is followed is called "balancing an equation".
g.Steps for balancing an equation (start where you need to in order to solve the problem you are given – you don't always need to start at the beginning)
i. Read the problem
1.In a gas hot water heater, methane gas is combined with oxygen, and in the process, produces carbon dioxide and water vapor.
ii.Write out the words in equation form.
1.Methane + Oxygen Carbon Dioxide + Water
iii.Write the correct formulas for the different elements and compounds present.
iv.Count the number of elements on each side and make a chart. Make sure the elements are in the same order on both sides to keep from making the problem any more confusing.
1.Left side:Right side:
C atoms – 1C atoms – 1
H atoms – 4H atoms – 2
O atoms – 2O atoms – 3
v.Insert coefficients for atoms of one element at a time so that the law of conservation of mass is satisfied
1.Tips for balancing equations
a.First, balance the types of atoms that appear in only one reactant and one product
b.Balance the remaining types of atoms one at a time
c.Balance H atoms and O after most of the other elements have been balanced
d.If the same polyatomic ions appear on both sides of the equation, treat them as if they were single units, like monatomic ions.
e.If you get stuck – sometimes it is a good idea to start over from scratch.
vi. Repeat steps iii. and iv. until the law of conservation of mass holds for all of the elements in the equation.
vii.Go back and check your math – simple mistakes can cause large problems.
viii.Make sure that there are equal numbers of atoms of each element on both sides of the equation.
ix.Finally, check to see that all of the coefficients are in lowest terms.
i.Common Pitfalls
Many students forget one or more of the final three steps. These are the places where mistakes made during the earlier stages of the problem are caught and corrected. Since it is relatively easy to make these mistakes, and just as easy to complete these three steps, always remember to apply them to every problem you complete!
1. Check your math!
2. Check for equal #'s of elements!
3. Check for lowest terms!
h.Second example
I. Write the word equation, showing all of the reactants and products
Phosphorus + potassium chlorate potassium chloride + phosphorus (V) oxide
i.More examples
i.CaSi2 + SbCl3 Si + Sb+ CaCl2
iv.Cellular respiration is the process that your body uses to get energy from the food you eat. In cellular respiration, sugars such as glucose, C6H12O6, react with oxygen. The net result is an increase of energy and the production of carbon dioxide and water. Write the balanced equation for cellular respiration.
v.When calcium is added to water, calcium hydroxide and hydrogen gas are formed. When calcium hydroxide is heated, water and calcium oxide are the products. Write balanced chemical equations that describe this series of changes.

Authors should try to work with chain/big box and independent bookstores, but most authors, whether traditionally or independently published, will find independent bookstores more receptive to working with them. Big box stores tend to have a lot of red tape and corporate policies that make them unfriendly to self-published and local authors. Even if the local branch of a big chain store wants to work with an author, it is often helpless to do so because of corporate guidelines that govern return policies or refuse to carry self-published books. In addition, chain stores tend to have larger staff and greater turnover that make it more difficult for authors to build relationships with store employees. And yes, your books stand a good chance of being buried on the shelves in a big box chain store.Independent bookstores, by comparison, can be a delight to work with. People who work in independent bookstores love books.
Want a Unique Date Night Idea? Hang Out at a Local Bookstore
My husband and I are big date night people. We try to go out a couple of times each month. But we add a twist to the activity: usually one of us plans it and it is a surprise to the other person.
When it's my turn to choose, I try to find activities that are different each time. One particular Friday night when we had already seen all the current movies we cared to, I took the advice of a former coworker. She told me that she and her husband like to just hang out at bookstores sometimes.
Since it was in the middle of the cold winter, being indoors in a cozy bookstore sounded like a good idea. So we went to our local Barnes and Nobles and spent a few hours.
Now I'm not what I would consider to be a big book lover. I thought this activity would be more fun for my husband, who loves books and reads all the time. But I really did enjoy myself.
I spent most of the time in the aisle about internet marketing, thumbing through some of the books that I had heard about, but probably wouldn't go out to buy. For example, there was one book about eBay that had tips from their top powersellers. Some of these tips were actually pretty good.
This was also around the time that Perry Marshall's bookstore book had just come out. Unfortunately they had sold out of it pretty quickly.
My husband looked through gardening books. This is another nice thing to do in the winter; it gets you longing for the warmer weather and gardening season.
Amazon is great for buying books, but you really can't look through them first. It's true that most of the Amazon books have a Look Inside feature, but this only allows you to see select pages. It's hard to really get a feel of the entire book that way.
Nothing compares with actually holding the book in your hands and skimming it. I did find some books I was interested in buying. Did I actually purchase them there? No. But I did ask for them as payment for some internet work I did for a friend (I helped her sell her RV on eBay). I guess it's kind of ironic that she bought them from Amazon.
The bookstore was surprisingly crowded for a Friday night. Some people were there to buy books, but others were just killing time. In fact, we bumped into some friends of ours who were waiting until it was time to head over to their movie at the multiplex nearby.
After we felt that we had gotten our literary fill, we went to the adjoining Starbucks and had a hot drink and dessert. Mine was some kind of decaf sweet latte thing.
All-in-all it was an enjoyable evening. I would do it again for a date night. So if you're into books, and even if you aren't and you want something different for date night, try hanging out at your local bookstore for a couple of hours.
Amazon Effects on Your Local Bookstore – Competitor Or Teacher?
The current economy is being effected by a number of different factors and businesses of all shapes and sizes are feeling the effects. A trend that has effected many retailers, in combination with the general downward slide of consumer spending, is the adjustment to online retailers, namely Amazon. I will focus on Amazon being that as of the close of 2007 it held the title of the world's largest online retailer with close to 15 billion in annual sales. The way in which traditional retailers use the technology that has now become commonplace is a determinate of their future success. A clever retailer will incorporate these new technological tactics rather than cut his or her losses.
In 1994, former financial analyst, Jeffery P. Bezos founded Amazon.com, an online bookstore. The company quickly expanded its product line to sell electronics, cds, movies, children's toys, household items and even groceries. Today, Amazon and it's partners sell virtually any item from fine jewelry to sports equipment. As of 2006 it sells digital copies of CDs, DVDs and Books. Amazon Unbox allows customers to download these products to their computer or certain TiVo boxes. In 2007 the company introduced Amazon MP3 store and the Kindle. Amazon MP3 is similar to Apple's iTunes making downloadable music available. Kindle is an electronic book reader and the first electronic device to carry the company's own brand. Amazon also rents out parts of its back-end infrastructure to other companies, positioning itself as a technology company, Amazon Web Services.
Amazon's growth has been slow and steady. The company did not profit until 2002. Although the company has shown a net profit in every year since 2002, as of the close of 2007, Amazon had a net cumulative deficit of over 1 billion dollars. Amazon's growth is the result of a solid progression that adds levels and products and merchant partnerships. The culmination of these business aspects results in consumer and merchant positive name recognition alike.
In this respect, I think that Amazon took cues from traditional retailers who are successful, slow and steady. This is a direct contrast to your lightening fast overnight internet success story which was the dream of so many dot bomb participants. So, it stands to reason that if the iconic company of the internet era took a traditional retail approach to solid success that a solid traditional retailer could greatly benefit from incorporating some of the technological strategies of the Internet store.
The speed and convenience of an online purchase is hard to pass up. But retailers will always have the advantage of atmospheric dynamics. People like to peruse and touch and feel. They need the hands on experience and inspiration of the store setting, smells and other people. In this day and age it is the responsibility of the local retailer to incorporate technological functions tot his atmosphere in order to stay in the game.

Brian Myrow had a perfect night, going 4-for-4 with a pair of doubles, a walk, an RBI and two runs scored. It is the fourth time this season he has notched three hits or more and the ninth time he has reached base at least three times. He has had four games with multiple extra base hits and upped his on-base percentage to .472 for the year. He is in the top 10 in the Pacific Coast League in hitting and on-base percentage.
Nine of Portland's 14 hits went for extra bases and Chase Headley collected two of them. He hit a solo homer – his fifth – and added his 12th double of the campaign while scoring two runs. It was the second homer in as many days for the left fielder and all five of his homers have been solo shots. Headley is hitting .381 over his last 15 games with 24 hits in his last 63 at-bats with seven going for extra bases. He has also scored 13 runs over that span.
Will Venable also doubled and homered, driving in three runs and scoring once. All three of his homers have come over his last three games and he has seven RBIs over that span. This is his third game with multiple extra base hits, despite it being just his sixth contest with multiple hits. While he left the bases full in the first inning and stranded a runner at third base in the third and sixth inning, it was Venable's bases loaded double in the eighth that proved the difference in the game; he is still hitting .346 with runners in scoring position for the year.
San Antonio (19-20) lost 13-10 to Corpus Christi (Astros) in 11 innings
After Mike Ekstrom was hammered for nine runs in an inning and a third, Lee Gwaltney came on and worked 3.1 scoreless inning, giving up four hits and a walk while striking out three. He also added an RBI on a groundout in the second. Gwaltney did allow an inherited runner to score but the outing was far better than the five runs he surrendered on four hits and a walk over two-thirds of an inning in his system debut and only other appearance.
Manny Ayala made his season debut after missing the first month-plus of the season with an arm injury. The right-hander gave up a solo homer and a walk while striking out one, tossing 17 pitches. Ayala worked in 22 games last season – all as a starter – across two leagues. In Lake Elsinore, he went 11-3 with a 2.22 ERA over 17 starts and 101.1 innings. He then went on to post a 1-3 mark with a 5.28 ERA in five starts and 29 innings with San Antonio before his season ended prematurely due to injury.
Down nine runs after two frames, the Missions came back to tie the game at 10-10 in the bottom of the eighth, eventually sending the game into extras. Colt Morton's single in the eighth tied it and the catcher ended the night with two RBIs and two hits in five at-bats. He had been in a 0-for-9 slump in San Antonio and hitless since his return from the big league club. Morton went 1-for-15 over nine games with the Padres, striking out five times.
Lake Elsinore (19-22) lost 2-0 to Stockton (A's)
Ernesto Frieri made his second straight start, dropping to 1-3 on the year after allowing two runs on four hits and two walks over five-plus innings. He struck out a pair, tossed his first wild pitch of the year and induced his second double play grounder in 17 appearances. It is the first time he has started more than one game in a year since 2005 when he made five starts for the AZL Padres. He has kept the opposition to a .189 average with runners in scoring position.
Dylan Axelrod worked two scoreless frames of relief, putting down all six batters he faced via four fly outs and two groundouts. He came in with two runners on and nobody out, keeping one off those inherited runners off the scoreboard. Axelrod has prevented seven of the nine runners he has inherited from scoring. The right-hander has surrendered runs in nine of his 17 outings and has worked to the minimum three times.
The Storm managed to collect just two hits on the day, but Robert Perry who reached base three times – accounting for half of the Storm base runners throughout the game – without the benefit of a hit. He drew a pair of walks and was hit by a pitch. Perry has just six hits in his last 44 at-bats – a .136 average – but boasts a .325 on-base percentage for the year thanks to 18 walks. While he has five multi-hit games, he also has four multi-walk games.
Fort Wayne (17-22) won 6-5 over West Michigan (Tigers)
A day after collecting just three hits, Fort Wayne busted out by putting 12 on the board - all singles. Andrew Parrino led the way with a 4-for-5 day that included an RBI and a run scored. He was, however, thrown out trying to steal for the third time this year. The infielder has gone five games without striking out - the longest span in his minor league career. Parrino matched his RBI total from his previous 11 games and now has five multi-hit games on the season and a .430 on-base percentage.
Derek McDaid picked up the win, his second, tossing a scoreless inning while surrendering a hit, a hit batsman and a walk. He was aided by a caught stealing from Luis Martinez. The right-hander has allowed just two runs over his last 14.2 innings on nine hits. He has held right-handed hitters to a .108 average with just four hits surrendered in 37 at-bats. He has also not allowed a hit in 15 at-bats with runners in scoring position and two outs.
Brad Chalk reached base three times via a pair of walks and a single while also touching home twice. The outfielder has drawn six walks over his last four games and has a .457 on-base percentage when he leads off an inning. He has scored three runs over his last two games after scoring three total in his previous 13. Chalk is hitting .333 over 15 games when he bats seventh in the lineup and .224 when he hits elsewhere.

|[PROPOSAL] New build targets for Tomcat
|Fri, 21 Jul 2000 20:09:31 GMT
Hey all, Definitions: Tomcat - Servlet Engine Jasper - JSP Engine These recent security advisories on Bugtraq have me a bit worried. I'm worried that because of Jasper, people will view Tomcat as being insecure when it really is not Tomcat's fault. Essentially the crux of the advisories is that the implementation of JSP that comes with Tomcat is somewhat security hole prone, we are now up to 3 or 4 security advisories for Jasper, and zero for Tomcat itself. What I would like to do is simply be able to provide people with the ability to create a copy of Tomcat that does not have *any* support for JSP within it. This way, people who do not care to use JSP (like myself) can feel secure that any hole in Jasper will not compromise my server in any way. I am ok with the default continuing to be a distribution of Jasper+Tomcat. My goal here is simply providing options, not removing existing functionality. I think that this can be done fairly easily with more defined targets in the Ant build scripts. My proposal would be to break things up like this: Build only the necessary files for Tomcat itself: <target name="compile-tomcat"> Build only the necessary files for JSP: <target name="compile-jsp"> Package Tomcat for distribution sans JSP: <target name="package-tomcat"> Package Tomcat for distribution with JSP: <target name="package-tomcat-jsp"> The current "webapps" target would also be split up: <target name="webapps-servlets"> <target name="webapps-jsp"> Comments? -jon

Agent Two - Something Wrong
Joseph sat fiddling with his dagger as he sat watching the boy. He found this part always boring. Then something happened that he didn't expect. His shadow... moved. Not in the way shadows usually did but of its own accord.
The boy looked back at it then turned back to the archery range. He had a good aim. Not as Agent Two's but good. He doubt the boys accuracy lasted as he got as far away as Joseph could get with firing a bullet and hitting a important organ. Joseph watched the shadow more closely and found himself amazed.
The shadow was moving on it own. Like it was its own person but it kept to being a shadow. A guess would because the boy wasn't alone. There were many people around him who probably hadn't noticed the shadow moving how it seemed to raise a little every so often.
Agent two pulled out his phone about to call back to base and inform Denia Elong but found a missed call from Lea. He rung her back and she picked up quickly. "Something's wrong, Joseph"
"What do you mean?" he questioned even though he knew what she was getting at.
"These teenagers they've sent us to watch. They're strange. Different. Special" she said beginning to babble.
"You mean they have gifts" Joseph whispered watching the shadow as it almost looked at him. The shadow then hit out at the boys leg trying to make it look his way. Joseph got to his feet and walked off.
Lea breathed out heavily on the other end of the phone. "That's exactly what I mean" she whispers. "There... There was another agent and I swear she'd just... set him alight but she didn't have a lighter and it wasn't any normal... burning. I'm really freaked out here, Joseph. We weren't trained for this type of stuff"
"I know" he whispered glancing back behind him. The boy, Skylar, that Agent Two had been watching had ignored his shadow and not looked his way. The shadow was still watching though. He could feel it now. Joseph turned his back and started walking off again. He need to eat. "This is a job, Lea. Just think like that"
"But Joseph-" he hung up and shoved the phone in his pocket. He had sort of lied to Lea. He wasn't going to leave it alone. How could he?
Joseph headed to the boys house. The mother was gone by now. Not that he knew. Agent Two easily picked the lock and slipped into the house. It was basic. A normal home with photos of past memories. A kitchen. Living room. All the basic things. It was plain. Joseph sat on the back of the couch and closed his eyes.
What was going on why did these children have these gifts? He stood up again and eventually came across a study. He thought it was useless. The extraction would have obviously got rid of any interesting data. Then he saw a book on the shelf. It was an inch out of place but since non of the other books were it stood out. He plucked it down and found another book hidden inside. He checked his watch.
He should get going. So he did leaving via the back door. When he got out he went across the street to his own home for the mean time. He went upstairs and sat in the slightly tinted window watching and waiting for the boy to come back. He opened the book and the words burst out of him.

GSTO2 genetic polymorphisms are associated with the progression of HBV infection.
The present study found that rs3740400 in As3MT and rs156697 in GSTO2 were strongly associated with the arsenic species (%iAs, %MMA and MMA/iAs and DMA/MMA ratios) in urine of the occupationally exposed workers and they may influence methylation capacity.
No significant association has been found between childhood Pre-B acute lymphoblastic leukemia and GSTO1 (show GSTO1 Proteins) A140D and GSTO2 N142D polymorphisms.
GSTO2 and GSTP1 (show GSTP1 Proteins) gene polymorphisms may serve as independent prognostic markers for hepatocellular carcinoma patients.
Our results indicate that GSTO1 (show GSTO1 Proteins)*C/GSTO2*G haplotype is associated with increased risk of TCC (show SFXN1 Proteins). The modifying effect of GSTO2*G/G genotype on individual susceptibility to TCC (show SFXN1 Proteins) is more pronounced, when associated with smoking.
we for the first time provided evidence supporting the prognostic role of GSTO2 in the progression of TACE (show ADAM17 Proteins)-treated hepatocellular carcinoma
The GSTA1 (show GSTA1 Proteins)*-69T and GSTO2*D142 variants are both associated with a significantly increased risk of asthma.
The results indicate that mutant GSTO2*Asp (show ASIP Proteins) genotype is associated with increased risk of age-related cataract in smokers and ultraviolet-exposed subjects, suggesting a role of inefficient ascorbate regeneration in cataract development.
GSTT1 (show GSTT1 Proteins) active genotype and GSTO1 (show GSTO1 Proteins) Asp140Asp and GSTO2 Asp142Asp genotypes may have a prognostic/pharmacogenomic role in patients with muscle invasive bladder cancer.
No significant association between GSTO2 polymorphism and acute renal graft rejection.
The protein encoded by this gene is an omega class glutathione S-transferase (GST). GSTs are involved in the metabolism of xenobiotics and carcinogens. Four transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Battle to Barn
We walked several miles as we came to another barn.
"Well arn't we staying on the country side." I said to Ifrit as we led our little group followed close behind.
"Don't want to run into any unwanted guests." he simply said.
"It might be a little late for that." I said as I heard footsteps. They wern't normal. They were louder than they shouldve been. Like someone wanted me to notice. "I'll bring up the back." I said as I leaned a little closer to Ifrit. "Whatever happens, keep running."
"What in hells name are you talking about." he said giving me an annoyed look.
"Just trust me." I smiled as I fell in behind a guy named Zell.
I walked slower than the group. Soon, I heard the footsteps vanish. Strange.
I dared myself and glanced back, but there was no one there. Then, a little shadow that nearly slipped my eyes flew ahead of me. I went from my slow steps to a sprint in an instant.
I shoved everyone out of my way as I looked at Ifrit and the avenger. Ifrit had jsut enough time to block the attackers attack.
I began to shout at Ifrit, but my words were silenced as I saw a bow and arrow with a green sash. She held a knife in her hands. It was odd because bowmans never used knifes, but I guess she was skilled in both, but as soon as she slipped her bow from her arm, I knew we were done for. The way she pulled it off of her back was the way of a true green belt.
"Run!" I shouted at Ifrit and he didn't hesitate. He shoved everyone away from the girl.
I saw her move forward, but then I stepped in her way. "Going somewhere?" I asked as I faced her. She was beautiful. She had brown hair and eyes that were blue like mine, but dark. Nearly black.
"Yeah," she said. "And your in my way."
"Well, I see where the problem is, but I'm afraid your gonna have to deal with this problem before you can get to that problem." I said pointing to the now vanished Ifrit.
"I guess so," she simply said as I began to run at her. With my dagger in my hand, I jumped up behind her, but she was faster. She had already made some distance between me and her and had an arrow in her hand and aimed.
I dodged her in the nick of time, but as soon as I had recovered from the first blow, she came at me with another one from a different angle. She was good.
I knew I had to take this one. I shifted my shoulders so that instead of hitting my heart, it was make it's way to my shoulder.
She didn't waste anytime in making her next move, and neither did I. She shot a couple more arrows and I dodged them gracefully but my they cut iff bits of my hair. I went in closer going for a one on one combat. I say how her arrows were attached to her back and planned everything out. I reached for a second dagger and held it in my left hand. I took my chance and threw it, aiming for her throat, and just like planned, she reacted instantly. She shifted ripping off the strap to her arrows.
I ran forward and kicked them away from her but she was already coming to me again, this time with her bow. I was careless in the begining though. I noticed that she had sharp edges on her bow that could easily penitrate my skin. I reacted dlowly at first, but then realization hit me. There was no way I could out wit her. She was a green belt infact. I was meerly a blue belt, but I had to try.
Now, it was just a one on one fight. Nothing seperating us except our weapns. Then, she dropped her bow and pulled out the knife she had earlier. She wasn't as skilled as she was using her bow, but she was at a red belt lever with it. There was no way out of it. Out weapons met for several instances as we were pulled apart only to come back at each other.
Then, I felt a sharp pain go into my other shoulder. She had plunged her knife into me, with an agonizing shriek, I fell to the ground, defeated.
"You can't win." she solomly said. "There's a fine line between your abilities and mine." she wasn't even out of breath, though she seemed entertained. "Concider yourself lucky to be alive. I'll spare your life for another time." she picked up her bow and arrows.
She simply ran away in the direction Ifrit had gone. I grabbed the knife that was in my shouder and ripped it out of my shoulder. I placed it by the bow that was in my other shoulder. She was only milimeters away from hiting the nerve that would paralize my entire arm.
She was right. I had been lucky. Unlike the pro assassins, she was like a lilly compared to them. The bleeding didn't stop though. I put pressure to it and tried everything to stop it, but I couldn't. There was just no way.
I felt my adrenaline rush leave me. That, plus all the blood I had lost made me swoony. I began to sit up and tried my best to stand, but the instant I did, I fell right back down.
I didn't hit the ground like I planned, but it felt like I was in someones arms. It took every bit of energy I had to open my eyes and see who's arms was around me and now lifting me up.
It was Ifrit. He was looking down at me, concerned. I merely smiled and uttered the words, "So you do care," having just enough in me to make comments.
"Concider yourself lucky." he said as I felt his chest rumble as he chuckled.
"I'm very lucky," I said hearing that girls voice in my head again.
Then fatigue washed over me and I passed out.
I found myself parched up and laying in a pile of soft hay that picked at my skin occasionally. I sat up slowly as I felt dizzy. Caesaria was laying bext to me as I glanced around me to see where I was.
A barn. I simply concluded to.
I tried to brush my hand through my hair and straighten, but right when my arm went up I felt a rush of complete oaun go through my system.
"AHH!" I screamed as I fell back into the hay and clutched my shoulder and felt something ooze around me. Blood.
"Camalot!" I heard Caesaria scream. "Ifrit!" she said, but all I could think of was the encounter I had with that mystery girl. Memory of everything that happened came back to me.
"I need water!" she screamed as I felt something cool touch my wound. I was proped up against something warm. A hand went on mine and i squeezed it against the pain.
Hours later, Caesaria got the blood to stop and I was laying against fresh hay again. "Now," Caesaria said. "I don't want you moving. If you need to do something tell me or Ifrit. I don't want you doing anything on your own. Not until your wound is somewhat healed."
"What are you? My mother?" I said giving her a frown.
"No," she said. "But I amd someone who knows that if you loose too much blood you'll just be a drag to all of us and get all of us killed. That and if you move your shoulder wrong you'll never be able to fight. Are you willing to take that risk?" she said sternly.
"Okay," I said as I jsut loked at Ifrit that was sitting by me. He gave me a knowing look. Knowing I didn't like taking orders, he just nodded.
I sighed and closed my eyes.
I felt comfort in my entire body as I slept. It was nice. To realax, finally. Safely.

Tarski/Field: According to him the following two sentences are a contradiction because he needs quantities for his definition of implication: a) "snow is white" does not imply logically "grass is green". - b) There are no mathematical entities (m.e.) like quantities. - ((s) Therefore, Field must be independent of Tarski.) Solution Field: Implication as a basic concept.
Tarski/Truth: unlike disquotational truth: only for a fragment. - Unrestricted quantifiers and semantic concepts must be excluded. Problem: we cannot create infinite conjunctions and disjunctions with that. - (Tarski-Truth is not suitable for generalization).
DeflationsimVsTarski/QuineVsTarski. - Otherwise, we must give up an explicit definition. - Deflationism: uses a generalized version of the truth-schema. - TarskiVsDeflationism: pro compositionality. (Also Davidson) - Tarski: needs recursion to characterize e.g."or".
Composition principle/Field: E.g. A sentence consisting of a one-digit predicate and a referencing name is true, iff the predicate is true of what the name denotes. - This goes beyond logical rules because it introduces reference and denotation. - Tarski: needs this for a satisfying Truth-concept. Deflationism: it is not important for it. - (> Compositionality).
Truth-Theory/Tarski: Thesis: we do not get an adequate Truth-theory if we take only all instances of the schema as axioms. - This does not give us the generalizations we need, e.g. that the modus ponens receives the truth.
Deflationism/Tarski/Field. Actually, Tarski's approach is also deflationistic.
Horwich I 477
FieldVsTarski/Soames: hides speech behavior. - Field: introduces primitive reference, and so on. -> language independence. - SoamesVsField: his physicalist must reduce every single one of the semantic concepts. - For example, he cannot characterize negation as a symbol by truth, because that would be circular. E.g. he cannot take negation as the basic concept, because then there would be no facts about speakers (no semantic facts about use) that explain the semantic properties. - FieldVsTarski: one would have to be able to replace the semantic terms by physical terms.
