Taylor's Port Winery
Taylor's is one of the only independent family owned wineries in Port Country, and controls the Fladgate Partnership which also encompasses the other prestigious Port Wine Houses of Fonseca, Croft and Delaforce. Now well into its fourth century, Taylor's is one of the very oldest of the Port houses. Alone among the original British Port firms it has remained totally independent throughout its history. Family owned and managed since its foundation, Taylor's is run today by descendents of the Yeatman's and Fladgate's, both families have been partners in the firm since the 1830's. The family involvement continues today with Alistair Robertson and Huyshe Bower both Yeatman descendents. Alistair's daughter, Natasha, and her husband, Adrian Bridge, Taylor's Managing Director, represent the current generation.
Job Bearsley is considered to be the founding father of the firm. An Englishman, he was trading Salt Cod (bacalhau) in the north of Portugal in the 1670s. But the first record of Bearsley as a port shipper -and a partner in the firm which became Taylor's -dates from 1692. In 1727 Job Bearsley's son Peter became the first British trader to venture into the wild, mountainous country upriver in search of the best wine. In 1744 his brother; Bartholomew, became the first Englishman to purchase an estate in the Douro (Lugar das Lages) where Taylor's have made wine every year since 1744, apart from a short break when it was used as a field hospital for Wellington's troops. In 1816 Joseph Taylor became a partner. By 1826, ten years after he first joined the firm, Taylor was running under its sole name and steering it through adventures time. In 1836 John Fladgate, a London wine merchant, became also a partner and two years later a new partnership was arranged between Fladgate and Morgan Yeatman and in 1844 the firm became Taylor, Fladgate & Yeatman, the name it bears today.
Throughout history Taylor's has been a pioneer. In the 1920's it was Dick Yeatman who introduced the first varietal plantings at Quinta de Vargellas in the Douro Superior. In 1934 Dick Yeatman created the first Dry White Port wine, Taylor's Chip Dry, as an aperitif to refresh them after a long hot day working in the vineyards. Taylor's was the first to commercialize a Single Quinta (Estate) Vintage with their 1958 Quinta de Vargellas. Taylor's have also pioneered the commercial market for their Aged Tawny ports and were one of the first shippers to offer a 10 & 20 year old. In the late 1960's Alistair Robertson responded to the needs of the Port wine consumer to produce Late Bottled Vintage (or LBV) in 1970. At a time when the consumer was looking for a Vintage style port that was ready to drink and did not require decanting, LBV met all these criteria.
With a reduced population in the Douro region it is becoming increasingly more difficult for vineyards to find pickers and treaders for the harvest. Although the traditional method of treading the grapes in the lagar produces the finest Vintage ports, Taylor's has been developing mechanical methods to extend the benefits of foot treading to wines of all levels, since the early 1990's. In 1995 Taylor's began an extensive Research & Development program, at Quinta de Vargellas, with a team of winemakers, technicians and engineers. Using piston technology in specially designed temperature controlled vats and with proportions similar to those of the lagar, Taylor's have now built the most advanced winery in Portugal at Quinta da Nogueira. The 'Port-Toes', as they are known, are able to closely replicate foot treading and are producing high quality port wines

From Exalted - Unofficial Wiki
A rewrite of Exalted, inspired by willows, haren, Kraken, and others in #wod.
Welcome to Dr Exalted
Dr Exalted is an effort at creating a more style-oriented system to pin the canon setting of Exalted over. At the same time, though, it represents a shift - perhaps even a significant shift - in certain aspects of the setting that tend to impose on mechanics.
Of note, Attributes are removed. There are all-new Abilities, and actions are accomplished by pairing two relevant Abilities, rather than relevant Attribute and Ability. This is intended to provide players a more specific panoply of capabilities that firmly uphold the character's personal style, without requiring undue investment in irrelevance. Yes, this means that a character can invest in fewer Abilities and be capable of many more things - this is a feature, not a bug, and is coupled with fewer starting Ability points, and increased experience point costs for improving Abilities.
In particular, the five combat Abilities are forever banished. In their place lie five new combat Abilities, each representing more a style and outlook on a method of combat than the weapons that define it. Charms stemming from these Abilities are equivalent to the current Martial Arts Styles, following the same pattern. Potentially, these Styles could be based on more than one of the new style-oriented combat Abilities.
I'm drawing a lot of inspiration from http://wiki.stryck.com/Exalted/AlternateAbilities
Combat Abilities Attacks and defenses are always based on at least one of the Combat Abilities. Stunts and magic, however, can break this rule. Additionally, the Combat Abilities are typically used for rolls involving tactics and strategy for mass combat, reflecting the character's personal style in conflicts great and small.
The five Combat Abilities never have Charms based on them. The battle-magic of characters is structured in trees based very directly on the closed, self-contained, theme-based Martial Arts Styles. The components of these Styles are techniques (not a finalized term). The difference between Techniques and Charms may seem semantic, but I feel that there are suffecient differences between the two to warrant separate nomenclature.
Ferocity refers to a style of combat emphasizing brutality and strength.
Discipline refers to a style of combat emphasizing regimented, practiced manuevers.
Precision refers to a style of combat focused on a more delicate application of skill.
Cunning refers to a style of combat favoring "dirty tricks" and generally sneaky methods.
Insight refers to a style of combat rooted in philosophy or deep understanding of the world.
Leadership is the Ability governing interactions with a group when the character acts as an authority over them.
Fellowship is the Ability governing interactions with a group when the character is among them.
Leadership and Fellowship both are roughly analogous to the part of Presence that deals directly with interacting with groups. Generally, neither will be of great use in the stereotypical courtly setting, as that social structure is a mingling of individuals. Fellowship is also of value in group combat situations, in particular, small-unit tactics.
Puissance deals with outright physical might, ranging from sheer lifting ability to unflagging endurance.
Alacrity handles tests of agility and swiftness, including the rudiments of classic wire-fu manuevers.
Already sounds a fascinating concept, and I look forward to seeing what develops out of it. Post moar! ...DeathBySurfeit
It's taking a while. I've temporarily abandoned thoughts of classifying and honing Abilities - instead, I shall post them as they come to me, and will polish and adjust later as needed. - David.

Berry Picker (3.5e Flaw)
From D&D Wiki
(Redirected from Berry Picker (3.5e Trait))
Berry Picker[edit]
You only eat what you prepare for yourself.
Effect: You can only eat food you have hunted or forage for in the wild, and subsequently prepared for yourself. You will only drink beverages made from water collected by yourself from a natural source. You also cannot benefit from food made by spells (ie: Create Food; Heroes' Feast), or from magical items (ie: Ring of Sustenance; Clear Ioun Stones; Sustaining Spoon). If you eat or drink excluded substances, you become sickened for 8 hours.
Roleplaying Ideas: When you have to eat somewhere, or when someone offers you food, you must decline it, or find some reason to excuse yourself.

2 speed power glide
A friend is giving me a 235 from an Impala that runs great. I don't know what year the Impala is. I'll find that out tomorrow. If its a '62 or older I'm told I have to get an adaptor ($350) to use the th350 I have. If this is the case I may use the 2 speed powerglide instead. What are the pros and cons of this trany?
I'm not sure about the timing of the switch to the 'late model' Power Glide but if your tranny is attached to a 235, it is likely the less desireable early vesion. If it is the cast iron version, forget it. '63 sticks in my mind for the date of the conversion to mate up to the new 215/230/250 series of straight 6s. The '63-up version is a very good tranny and still has a slew of upgrade parts available. Still in demand by drag racers. I think you are stuck getting the adaptor reguardless of which tranny you run.
Build the 235. Great engine and can be made into a perky performer that isn't a belly-button SBC. I just rebuilt mine for my '53 Chevy pick up with all the hot mods (milled the head 0.100" for 9:1 compression, 280 cam, electronic ignition, Clifford 4-bbl intake, Fenton cast iron headers, full flow oil filter). I got the adaptor for the late model tranny and am using a 2004R OD. I used a Power Glide behind the 230cu in 6 in my son's '36 Pontiac (pictures in my photo album.).
Got my adaptor from Stovebolt Engines
Got my intake from Cliffords
If I remember correctly, a cast-iron PG can be push-started.
Yes, the CI unit has a rear pump so can be push started. In fact, my wife's '56 Bel Air hard top all of a sudden qiuit shifting into second. Turned out that the rear pump ring had split and was dumping front pump pressure.

"I found this design because I called their customer service to ask for a recommendation for gift tag design that will compliment the birthday invitation I have picked out. Luckily, the customer service lady suggested this design and infact, she helped me customize the text i wanted in the tag. Excellent quality on papers and the color is so subtle.

This thread has me rolling in the floor...
I used to go on some "interesting" TDY trips with a fella that had a "reputation" as a "pickup man" when it came to the local lovelies. No matter where we travelled, he always seemed to have a "friend" accompany him down for breakfast the next morning.
Finally, curiosity got the best of us one day and we asked him his secret to success...He smiled, and said "whenever you walk into the local bar, pub, restaurant, shopping mall, whereever we might be, and we "eye" the local talent...I always "go ugly early" ...
Everytime I touch my Glock19, I thank him for imparting that bit of guidance to me..."Go Ugly Early - Get a Glock and never look back!!"
Zonker's sig line says it best. I have owned Kimbers, and still have a couple of them. I do carry them from time to time, and I do see them as beautiful (and effective) pistols. But I find myself carrying one of my Glocks much more often than not. There is something "beautiful" in a Glock's simplicity and reliability.
Everyone needs a block.... err I mean brick...... err I mean glock.
I have a 9mm Springfield EMP. It's a thing of beauty and I like shooting it but I don't carry it much. I carry my Glock 19 almost exclusively. As was noted before, there is something to said for simplicity and reliability.
Y'all do realize that there are various pretty guns that are just as effective as Glocks.
First, you lose the ability to use the longer magazine in the pistol it was intended for.
Second, if the adapter comes loose and slides up the mag, you might not be able to insert it into the pistol properly.
Third, they make the magazine bulkier to carry.
I can fire my smaller Glocks just fine with their larger cousins' magazines with no issues whatsoever, sans adapters.
KISS, and save your money. You don't need those things. :nono:
I too just got a G27. I love the gun, I mean love it. I found the pinky extenders nice because you can get up to two additional rounds and that makes it hold 12 rounds of 180gr madness in a compact package, but they don't help me in the control department. In fact, I find I have better control with the flush fit mag.
Best part about carrying my Glock over my Kimber (besides size, weight, and capacity) is that if I drop it, bang it, or even get it taken after a shooting, I dont really care. It is truly a very utilitarian pistol! For concealed carry, it is one of the best IMO. And just be ready, it takes some time to get accuracy out of it.

Scott Rolen is hot, he's healthy and he's the player Tony La Russa remembers -- the one who was a key member of a three playoff teams, including a World Series champion.
Rolen and La Russa didn't always see eye to eye during the third baseman's five-plus seasons in St. Louis but they have a similar view of what Rolen is doing for the Cincinnati Reds.
"So far, so good," Rolen said after hitting two homers against the Cardinals as Cincinnati won 9-8 to break a tie with St. Louis atop the NL Central. "I'm healthy, that's for sure. I'm going to keep going out there and swinging it."
He's swinging it like he hasn't since before he left St. Louis in a trade with Toronto after the 2007 season. Rolen has 13 homers this season, more than last year's 11 in 128 games with the Blue Jays and Reds, more than his 11 in 115 games for Toronto in '08, more than his eight in 112 games for the Cardinals in '07. This is a guy who has 296 home runs in his career and as many as 34 in a season.
And now he's batting .421 (8-for-19) in St. Louis since he left the Cardinals.
"Rolen's healthy," La Russa says. "He's an outstanding player when he's healthy. Their manager has probably gotten more out of him than I did. I know that's true."
"I have some pretty good memories, that's for sure," Rolen said of his time in St. Louis. "Good fans, good people. There's a little anxiety, some anticipation still. I'll enjoy getting on the plane, too."
He'll get to leave after the Reds try to protect their one-game division lead in tonight's final game of the series.

The Danish Committees on Scientific Dishonesty
What is scientific dishonesty (research misconduct)?
Scientific dishonesty (research misconduct) is defined by the Danish Parliament as: Falsification, Fabrication, Plagiarism and other serious violations of good scientific practice committed wilfully or gross negligent in planning, performing, or reporting of research results.
Responsibility / mission of DCSD
DCSD investigates allegations on research misconduct which are of significance for Danish research.
Investigations start upon acceptance of a complaint.
DCSD contributes to strengthen the credibility of Danish research and to prevent scientific dishonesty. DCSD has previously published a set of guidelines for good scientific practice. DSCD decided at the Committees anual meeting on 27 January 2015 that the guidelines will no longer be updated due to the new Danish Code of Conduct for Research Integrity.
The previous guidelines from DCSD on good scientific practice from 2009 kan still be accessed as a historical document.
The Scope and Jurisdiction of DCSD.
The scope and jurisdiction of DCSD is determined in the following regulations:
- Act on the Research Advisory System, etc
- DCSD's executive order
- DCSD's Rules of Procedure
Organisation of DCSD
DCSD consists of three committees covering all areas of research.
- Committee on Scientific Dishonesty for Health and Medical Sciences (USF).
- Committee on Scientific Dishonesty for Natural, Technological and Production Sciences (UNTPF).
- Committee on Scientific Dishonesty for Cultural and Social Sciences (UKSF).
Each of the three committees consists of a chairman and six members. The members are recognized scientists who are appointed by the Danish Minister for Science, Innovation and Higher Education after consultation with the Council for Independent Research. The Chairman, common for all the committees, is a high court judge and appointed by the Minister.
The Chairman distributes the cases for consideration to the three committees.
Procedures for investigations
For DCSD to begin an investigation of an allegation of research misconduct, the matter must fall within the mandate of DCSD as defined in the relevant regulations. In particular, the following conditions must be met:
- The allegation must relate to a scientific product, for example a scientific paper, a Ph.D. thesis or similar.
- The case must be of importance to Danish research.
- The case must concern "scientific dishonesty". Questions about scientific disagreements or the quality of research is outside the mandate of the DCSD.
- The respondent must be scientifically trained within the field of the scientific product in question.
Case proceedings
When a case falls within the mandate of DCSD and is accepted for investigation DCSD will initiate a consultation of the parties (complainant and respondent) according to the following procedure:
- The respondent receives a copy of the complaint, and the respondent is requested to submit a response within an appropriate time frame.
- A copy of the respondent's comments is sent to the complainant and the complainant is requested to submit a response within an appropriate time frame.
- A copy of the complainant's comments is sent to the respondent and the respondent is requested to submit a response within an appropriate time frame.
- A copy of the respondent's comments is sent to the complainant for information.
DCSD may during the investigation request further information from the parties. DCSD can also set up special committees ad hoc to analyze specific aspects of the case, and DCSD may ask external experts for specific advice.
The procedure for the preparation of a case and decision can be found in the rules of procedure.
The decision
DCSD's decisions are sent directly to the parties in the case. Decisions are also made available in anonymous form on this web page.
Annual reports
DCSD publishes annual reports.

Dr. Ignacio E. Grossmann, a world renowned researcher for developing novel mathematical programming algorithms and techniques for solving problems in process systems engineering, delivered the Distinguished McFerrin Lecture which is part of the Lindsay Lecture Series hosted by the Artie McFerrin Department of Chemical Engineering at Texas A&M University.
Grossmann is the Rudolph R. and Florence Dean University Professor of Chemical Engineering and former department head at Carnegie Mellon University. He is a member of National Academy of Engineering.
He presented his lecture, "Recent Advances in Computational Models for the Discrete and Continuous Optimization Models of Industrial Process Systems," with several references to applications in the oil and gas industry. Grossman gave an overview of deterministic and stochastic models based on mixed-integer liner/nonlinear programming to optimize the offshore oil and gas facilities.
"These models and algorithms are applied to the design and planning of offshore facilities with uncertain crude oil prices and reservoir sizes," said Grossmann.
Grossman is the director of the Center for Advanced Process Decision-Making, which comprises of a total 20 petroleum, chemical and engineering companies. In addition to NAE, he holds memberships in the Mexican Academy of Engineering, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, Institute for Operations Research and Management Science, Mathematical Optimization Society and the American Chemical Society.
The J.D. Lindsay Lecture Series enables outstanding speakers from industry and academia to visit Texas A&M and the Department of Chemical Engineering to exchange ideas on teaching and research with students and faculty.

Q&A Craig Christian
By Ray Wheatley–World of Boxing
Photo: Jeff Pamungkas
Australian Craig Christian has guided the career of the WBA super featherweight champion Chris John since 2005 and through twelve successful world title fights. Christian talks to Fightnews and says that Jan Manuel Marquez rates as his greatest victory and that his win over Derrick Gainer also rates as one of his best. He also mentions that it was important that Chris John defeated Daud Yordan on Sunday and that WBA champion Yuriorkis Gamboa and WBO champion Orlando Salido are on the WBA 126 pound champions radar.
Congratulations on guiding the career of Chris John who has been the WBA 126 champion since 2004 and you have trained and managed him for twelve of his fourteen title bouts since 2005. He rates as one of the best featherweights in the history of the sport and his win in 2006 over the great Mexican Juan Manuel Marquez who had boxed a draw with boxing pound-for-pound best Many Pacquiao the previous year. The decision win over Marquez was never disputed. This fight must rate as his best achievement, your thoughts.
Yes, the Juan Manuel Marquez fight on paper is definitely John's best win, the Gainer fight was the first fight with Harrys Gym and that would have to be up there because of the pressure Chris John had on him. Everybody in Jakarta wasn't very happy with him picking me as his trainer so the pressure was enormous but after getting dropped in the first round he demolished Gainer punished him for the next eleven rounds; it was a great victory and I believe this last fight was up there too because all he has achieved in boxing would have amounted to nothing if Yordan beat him, and there were many people hoping that would happen. But as usual, he came through it all and because of his pride and professionalism schooled the talented Jordan who I believe has a big future in boxing.
Do you have Yuriorkis Gamboa who holds the WBA title on your radar? Would he be a difficult fight for Chris?
We look at it this way: first of all, yes we would fight Gamboa if we have what he wants which we have, we are the super champion he is jus the ordinary champion, I say that with no disrespect. We have it, he wants it. We say come and get it, take it off the champion Chris John. Why should we have to leave our comfort zone? They are not offering any great amounts of money to entice us over there, it could be held on a Sunday morning in Jakarta and PPV back on the Sat night live to the states. More money in it for everyone that way. I will say never underestimate John – no one has taught him how to lose yet, in a great fight in Jakarta I think John would rise to the occasion and win on points.
The former WBO champion Juamma Lopez has expressed interest in a bout with Chris. Is he on your radar? Is that an easy or tough fight for Chris?
Well, just before I answered this Juan Manuel Lopez was KO'd by Orlando Salido and i think he will KO him again in the rematch. Salido was our sparring partner in the USA for the Juarez fight and we would unify against him, give the opportunity.
Chris has now had forty-five wins and 2 draws. One draw was against Rocky Juarez. ESPN, Max Kellerman had the fight 8 to 4 rounds in favor of Chris. Tell me about that fight and the decision .
That was another big fight for Chris he really wanted to be the first Indonesian to defend a title successfully in the USA, all others had failed. I think Chris clearly won that fight, but we were happy we got the draw because they could have gone a bit further and given it to Juarez. We knew everyone who watched it thought we won the fight and we knew we would beat him again as Chris was sick in bed for the week leading up to the fight. We knew we could improve and that was all Juarez had as Chris showed in the rematch.
How many more fights for Chris John?
Good Question, a lot of it will depend on whether Gamboa decides to fight us — when we beat him they would have to say Chris John is the best featherweight going and that might be a good time to retire with a perfect record. If not, we would like to get 50 victories undefeated, but thats only a thought. Chris John might tell me different. So I would have to listen to the boss before I can tell you for sure. I read in an article he said he wants to fight till he's 35, you never know, he is a remarkable guy.

With shares of Facebook (NASDAQ:FB) trading around $59, is FB an OUTPERFORM, WAIT AND SEE, or STAY AWAY? Let's analyze the stock with the relevant sections of our CHEAT SHEET investing framework:
T = Trends for a Stock's Movement
Facebook is engaged in building social products in order to create utility for users, developers, and advertisers. People use Facebook to stay connected with their friends and family, to discover what is going on in the world around them, and to share and express what matters to them with the people they care about. Developers can use the Facebook platform to build applications and websites that integrate with Facebook to reach its global network of users, building personalized and social products. Advertisers can engage with more than 900 million monthly active users on Facebook — or subsets of its users — based on information they have chosen to share.
Facebook is continuing in its Johnny-come-lately routine as it prepares once more to get in the game that Snapchat has been dominating. The social media giant has tried its hand more than once and failed, but it appears it will try again with a new app, this time a little less Snapchat clone and a bit more TapTalk clone. According to sources for The Financial Times, Facebook is working on a project, codenamed Slingshot, that will function somewhat like the widely popular Snapchat app, which features limited lifespan photos, videos, texts, as well as video calls. For those familiar with Facebook's delve into this sort of project, the Poke app might come to mind. That app also served as a Facebook's competitor to Snapchat, but it has recently been pulled from the app stores.
In an odd reverse-reading of the saying "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em," before Facebook made Poke in attempt to challenge Snapchat head-to-head, it actually tried to buy the company. Last year, it offered Snapchat creators Evan Spiegel and Bobby Murphy $3 billion for the company. As can be plainly seen, the offer was rejected by Snapchat. This new attempt at a Snapchat-like app has been in development for several months and been overseen directly by Mark Zuckerberg, reports The Financial Times. Though the app could never see the light of day, one of the sources said it may come out as early as this month. Following the new system Facebook is implementing, it will also likely be a standalone app, rather than one that gets embedded in another of Facebook's already popular apps.
It might seem a bit odd that Facebook keeps trying to get into that same segment of communications, but there are some pretty big reasons for it. Firsly, 700 million photos, videos, and messages are sent across Snapchat every day, reports PCMag. That's a load of user interaction Facebook can't just sit by and ignore. The other important thing is that Snapchat is succeeding where Facebook is failing. According to CCS Insight analyst Geoff Blaber, "Snapchat over-indexes with the very segment where Facebook has cited falling engagement: teenagers," reports The Financial Times.
T = Technicals on the Stock Chart are Mixed
Facebook stock has struggled to make significant progress over the last couple of months. The stock is currently trading sideways and may need time to stabilize before heading higher. Analyzing the price trend and its strength can be done using key simple moving averages. What are the key moving averages? The 50-day (pink), 100-day (blue), and 200-day (yellow) simple moving averages. As seen in the daily price chart below, Facebook is trading between its rising key averages which signal neutral price action in the near-term.
Taking a look at the implied volatility (red) and implied volatility skew levels of Facebook options may help determine if investors are bullish, neutral, or bearish.
Implied Volatility (IV)
30-Day IV Percentile
90-Day IV Percentile
|Facebook options
What does this mean? This means that investors or traders are buying a very small amount of call and put options contracts, as compared to the last 30 and 90 trading days.
Put IV Skew
Call IV Skew
|June Options
|July Options
As of today, there is an average demand from call and put buyers or sellers, all neutral over the next two months. To summarize, investors are buying a very small amount of call and put option contracts and are leaning neutral over the next two months.
On the next page, let's take a look at the earnings and revenue growth rates and the conclusion.

Two holsters, buy 1 or both. $50 each includes shipping. Both are black and are right handed.
DeSantis Speed Scabbard - Speed Scabbard® — DeSantis Holster
Wild Bill Fusion Paddle - Fusion Paddle
Both are great, solid, stiff leather holsters. I went IWB and no longer need these two.
Neither were carried for even a full day, so they truly are "like new"
Hope to find them a new home so they don't stay trapped in a dark drawer... they deserve so much better.

World Expeditions
World Expeditions is one of the world's leading adventure travel companies offering ground breaking itineraries on every continent. The company has been operating small group trekking and adventure travel holidays and vacations since 1975.
We are widely recognized for ground breaking Responsible Tourism initiatives. In particular, the award winning Community Project Travel Program helps to improve the living conditions of some of the world's most remote communities
Today, with offices around the globe, we offer more than 500 stand alone itineraries; small group active adventures and expeditions, cycling and walking tours and cultural journeys. Each itinerary has several scheduled departure dates throughout the season.
Supported by some of the world's most experienced and respected adventurers, including mountaineers Peter Hillary and Tim Macartney-Snape working with us as specialist guides, World Expeditions' has helped shape the adventure travel industry standards since its inception almost four decades ago.
Our all-inclusive, no hidden extras pricing policy combined with longer, creative itineraries and the use of quality ground services attracts people who have high expectations of their travel experiences.
In 2004, we became the first adventure operator whose product was being distributed on Lonely Planet's Travel Services section on their website.
World Expeditions is truly global company with offices in London, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth, as well as Auckland, Ottawa and Montreal.
Why Travel with World Expeditions?
We own most of our operational bases around the world. This ensures that we can provide high quality trips of exceptional value with no hidden extras. Our trips are all inclusive, so there is little need to pay for anything once your trip commences until it ends. Our hands-on approach and years of experience has ensured a safety record second to none as we've pioneered some of the most unique itineraries in the adventure market place today.
World Expeditions has been seriously committed to responsible travel and true sustainability since we began in 1975 when we established our philosophy and stated ideal which was to "take only photographs and leave only footprints".
Almost four decades of pioneering adventure travel has proved the positive conservation outcomes when travel is managed for sustainability. We believe a responsible, long-term vision can deliver true sustainability and with the participation of all our clients and business partners the challenge is being met and achieved.
An example of this commitment to sustainability has been our efforts to preserve the forests of Nepal. This has involved changing an entrenched culture of burning wood for fuel. World Expeditions has pioneered the change to kerosene as an alternative to wood on all trekking expeditions in Nepal. We do not have camp fires and we strongly discourage trekkers from buying wood-fueled hot showers in lodges along the trail. As a founding supporter of the International Porter Protection Group (IPPG) we also lead the way in porter protection by providing a good working wage for all Nepalese staff, food and extra clothing for those working above the tree line, life insurance cover and emergency helicopter insurance. Our efforts were recognized at the World Travel Mart in 2006 when our porter policies received a 'Highly Commended' in the Mountain Environment category.
Our philanthropic program ensures we 'give something back'. Our current initiative is Community Project Travel. The concept behind our Community Project Travel range of trips is based on the ethos of "travel with a purpose". It is a range of small group adventures, each about two weeks in length, whereby participants commit four to five days of their holiday to making a difference to a community in need. A portion of the traveller's participation fee contributes to the associated material costs of the project. In 2006 our travellers helped to refurbish the Saramthali school in Nepal, collected 7 tonnes of ghost nets from the Arnhem land coastline, helped to build a new school room for the Xo village in Vietnam as well as erect a footbridge for the village of Qelqanqa in Peru so that kids could access the school safely.
In recognition of our environmental policies, we are the only Travel Company ever to be fully endorsed by the Wilderness Society in Australia. In 2001, we received the National Travel Industry's Environmental Achievement Award, presented by WWF Australia, for our responsible tourism policies.
In addition, we create excellent adventures! Our trips have featured in the world's most prestigious magazines and newspapers including: OUTSIDE magazine, both National Geographic Adventure & National Geographic Traveler magazine, Wanderlust, The Sunday Times, The Sydney Morning Herald, The Australian, The Age, The Sunday Telegraph (UK) plus much more.

Thanks for sharing that solution.
Now that we have a thread on WP3 .2 issues, let me share one more thing. There is an auto wrapping of the orphan

 tags inside the content editor (as of WordPress 3.2). i.e. when you will try to write the following code:

my list item

and switch between Visual/HTML mode. This code will be converted into:

my list item

Now since I was using some short code on stylish lists as:
[list params="foo"]
my list item
 [/list]
It outputs the following code:

 //the added one by WP
my list item

For now, I am directly inserting the HTML markup via JS tinyMCE insertion. I am sure there would be some filter to override and prevent this auto wrapping of orphan list items.
Edit: @bitfade, sorry for posting another issue. (I think a single thread will be okay for any such things). Don't mind mate.
Happy Birthday to the "Marketplace Patrol". Have a great one Drew!
Depth is good. But your previous "Bright Color Choices" were awesome. (I am talking about the old logo with those rainbow colors).
P.S. Drop me a mail from my profile page (for vector files). I can't send attachments via your profile message box.
Your current Logo is perfect. May be you can create a silhouette version for monochrome too. If you wish to use some elements from the image below, you are free to do so:
Long back these logos were created for a contest, and are not used by any Company. If you wish to use the "type" or any of these elements, mail me and I will send you the vector files. Just posting it as you may find the "PD" treatment in these Logos.
Edit: Linked the image instead of direct insert.

Poll: De Blasio Leaps to First Place
Public Advocate Bill de Blasio has shot to first place among the pack of Democratic mayoral candidates, with support from 30 percent of likely primary voters according to the latest Quinnipiac poll released Tuesday.
That's an increase of 9 percentage points since the last Q-poll released on July 29. De Blasio has leapt over both City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, who comes in at 24 percent, and former comptroller Bill Thompson, who pulls 22 percent.
De Blasio also leads in the likely event of a run-off election. A run-off is triggered if no candidate takes more than 40 percent in the primary election.
Among the other candidates, former Congressman Anthony Weiner has dropped to 10 percent, down six more points since the last poll. Comptroller John Liu remains flat at 6 percent and former City Councilman Sal Albanese is at just one percent.
The poll also asked about the NYPD's use of stop-and-frisk. Sixty percent of Democratic primary voters say it's excessive and harasses innocent people.
The poll was conducted from August 7-12 and surveyed 579 likely Democratic primary voters. It has a margin of error of plus or minus 4.1 percentage points.

Hello everyone! I thought I'd start with a pic of my favorite revolver.
Colt Diamondback .22
Printable View
Hello everyone! I thought I'd start with a pic of my favorite revolver.
Colt Diamondback .22
Very nice.
Many years ago I tried to interest Colt in reviving the New Service and giving it the Python treatment, and thus have three matched guns on differing frames, but to no avail.
I've owned all three guns, Pythons, Diamondbacks and New Services. And, dang it!, I don't have a one now.
Bob Wright
P.S. Friend of mine had a 2 1/2" Diamnondback, and that is what I really wanted for carrying. Couldn't talk him out of his, and couldn't come up with one at a reasonable price. Settled for a Smith Model 19 and never looked back.
Congrats mr. Brown-----you got a keeper for sure !!!!! I bought a 6" diamondback in the early 1970's. It is chambered for .22 long rifle. Awesome pistol for small game hunting. I refer to it as my "baby python"
my wife used it to win a first place trophy in an nra hunters pistol match in the early 1980's, while we were living in el centro, ca.
Take good care of it & enjoy for your lifetime !!!!!!!!!!
Outstanding!! You don't see many .22 Diamondbacks in that good of shape anymore. Nice:mrgreen:
One ? for u -- is the trigger pull on the diamondback as nice as on the other Colt Snake guns ?
Eli :mrgreen:
Very nice, you don't see too many .22 versions. I'd love one to go with my .38 Special Diamondback.
I have a blue python but a want a matching Diamondback in 22. Very nice gun, does it shoot as nice as a python?

For those trying to get a social media campaign going in their company, they'll often have to deal with naysayers that question the value.
Former Kodak CMO Jeff Hayzlett says dealing with the non-believer is all part of "running the gauntlet." He believes it so strongly that he even wrote a book with the same title that promises to teach people how to push forward with their social media dreams.
Hayzlett spoke with Bryan Elliott on Behind the Brand about what it takes to engage audiences, and how to explain to those number crunchers that social is valuable. For one, he said talking about return on investment is overhyped.
"I say to them, 'What's your return on ignoring?'" Hayzlett said. "If you're engaged with your customers, and you have an operation that is doing what it's supposed to be doing, then you're going to make money."
Hayzlett said at this point, not engaging via social media is just a way to lose money. He broke down his social media strategy, calling it "the four E's."
"Get engaged, start doing it. Start being your own Chief Listening Officer," Hayzlett said. "When you educate people about your product, they get excited, and then start to evangelize by becoming brand ambassadors."
If you have any comments about how to buck the social media naysayers, tweet them at @BryanElliott, or leave a comment below.

Ridge and Rafter size
Hi guys,
I just wanted to make sure, before the carpenters finish off the dormers, that we're working with the right size lumber. The inspector was pretty flexible, but I just wanted to here from some other people what they thought.
Anyway, the dormer size (framing size) is 42.5", and the height is about 74 inches. The pitch is 6:12, and the ridge length is about 6 feet. I plan on using a 2x8 ridge and 2x6 rafters (on 2x4 wall studs). Originally I was intending 2x8 for ridge and rafters, but I think that 2x6 should be fine, and I didn't want to increase the span too much betweem the ridge and the window top.
With a flat ceiling it didn't matter about the ridge hanging down, so I figured I'd go with 2x6 rafters.
Does it sound good, guys?
I was worried that you might be using a 'sloped' ceiling, in which case the 2 x 6 rafters would be too short to allow for effective insulation.

There's really only one instance when an issue can prove more irritating and that's when the software (or a combination of it and hardware) royally breaks and thus bricking the device. How useful is a bricked Windows Phone? Well, it's good paperweight, I suppose. This is what happened to my poor white Lumia 920. Let me tell you a short story of what happened and how quickly the issue was resolved by Nokia.

A teenager who raped a woman with Down's Syndrome has been jailed for eight years.
Liam Felton, 18, approached his 22-year-old victim while she sat on a bench in Station Road, Harold Wood on the evening of September 12 last year.
For about 15 minutes, he attempted to engage her in a conversation before the pair got up and walked together for a further five minutes.
He then grabbed the woman by the throat and forced her into an alleyway before raping her twice. He fled from the scene.
Police arrested him the next day after CCTV images of him sitting on the bench were circulated.
Felton, of Station Road, Harold Wood, pleaded guilty to two counts of rape at Snaresbrook Crown Court and was sentenced yesterday.
Detective Constable Tim Glover, who led the investigation, said: "This was a shocking and harrowing attack on a defenceless girl.
"The victim has Down's Syndrome which impairs her both physically and in her speech - it would have been clear to Felton from his conversation with her that she had this condition.
"However, he chose to abuse her in the most callous way - I can only hope that his jail sentence gives some form of closure to the victim and her family."

for National Geographic News
November 3, 2004
It's easy to understand why water striders—those six-legged insects that float and glide across the surface of ponds, streams, and lakes—are sometimes called Jesus bugs or pond skaters.
Less clear is how the bugs manage to stay afloat without drowning, especially in turbulent conditions brought by rainstorms or moving water. That is, until now.
Studying the insects under powerful microscopes, researchers in China have found that water strider legs incorporate thousands of microscopic hairs. Measuring about 50 micrometers—or less than two-thousandths of an inch—long, the hairs are scored by miniature groves. These groves trap air, increasing water resistance of the water's striders legs and overall buoyancy of the insect.
"Normal hydrophobicity [or water repellency] may support them resting on water," said Lei Jiang, a researcher with the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing, China, and study co-author.
"Slight touches or disturbances may break that balance. However, the air cushion at the leg-water interface can [enable] them to locomote quickly and stably on the water surface—even in rainstorms or other disturbances."
Jiang noted that other animals developed features, such as the feathers on a duck, that work in similar ways. However, most are far less effective at promoting super water-repellence, he said.
High Water Mark
Common to ponds, rivers, and lakes, water strides (Gerris remigis) are considered the most advanced surface-dwelling water bug found in nature.
The insects, which measure about a centimeter (two-fifths of a inch) long, have two pairs of long, thin legs that they use to float and travel on water surfaces. They also sport an additional pair of smaller frontal legs, which can be used to grab prey.
The water strider's hairy legs work to keep it afloat. The hair-and-trapped-air combination has such water-resistance qualities that the insects legs can create 4-millimeter (0.16-inch) dimples in a water surface without breaking through.
The water-resistant legs displace some 300 times their own volume—the source of the insect's remarkable buoyancy. Jiang and colleague Xuefeng Gao found that the water strider's legs are so buoyant, they can support 15 times the insect's weight without it sinking.
This excess floatation capacity may allow the insects to bounce on water surfaces, much like a rubber ball on a cement sidewalk, to avoid drowning during a downpour.
The superfloatation also helps the bugs to skate across water surfaces in search of prey with remarkable speed. The insects can dash at speeds of a hundred body lengths per second. To match them, a 6-foot-tall (1.8-meter-tall) person would have to swim at over 400 miles an hour (644 kilometers an hour).
Water striders not only travel quickly, but they venture far afield. Scientists say some bugs have traveled hundreds of miles across calm tropical oceans.

Coming to terms with an iconic opera house:
We call them shells because that's how they look. Properly speaking, though, the [Sydney] Opera House is not a shell structure at all.
The shell idea thrilled architects of the mid-20th century because it looked effortless and was immensely difficult to achieve. The idea, though, is simple: in a structure shaped around natural stress patterns, the forces generated by self-weight will remain within the material, removing any need for external ribs, beams or buttresses.
Utzon's shells were never actually shells, even before they were re-formed into spherical sections to make the maths do-able. And, either way, the same fundamental problem would have arisen.
The problem is that they are three-dimensional gothic arches which generate huge outward thrust. The Opera House is really a gothic cathedral, sans buttresses. This necessitates the enormous tie-beam that holds the "shells" together underground and, in so doing, makes a proper orchestra pit impossible. Along with the narrow peninsula site and the sketch-decision to locate the two halls side-by-side, the shell idea meant the opera hall could never have orchestra pit, fly-tower or side-stages.
Which does not mean there is anything wrong with the building, just that we misnamed it. We could fix its faults by admitting it is not an opera house at all, never will be. It is not, really, architecture. It is a fabulous, transcendent piece of sculpture.
RTWT here.
And more on the same from a different perspective:
In the second act of Swan Lake, elegant ballerinas, with white tutus fluttering, toes pointed, leap across the Sydney Opera House stage at speed and out of sight into the wings. What waits for them there must rank among the least graceful moves in all the world.
But it is one that has saved them from disaster, according to the ballet's artistic director and a former dancer, David McAllister.
"The girls would race off the ramp in the second act and we'd have someone there to catch them and push them off to the side, a bit like a football or handball, so the girls didn't go smashing into the wings," he says.
Their leap into the arms of a catcher, often a sturdy mechanist, has been necessitated in Swan Lake and other ballets over the years because the Opera Theatre has so little wing space. It is about two metres wide, a quarter of what the ballet has at its Melbourne venue. This makes exits at speed in the Opera Theatre risky: accidents must be avoided, but illusion - essential to the magic of theatre - must be maintained.
RTWT here.
And finally, The Music Of The Spheres:
Of all the habits shared by ancient and modern people, stargazing may be the most serene. When we look up at a clear night sky, or view the fabulously beautiful pictures of stars and galaxies coming from the Hubble Space Telescope, we enter awestruck and humble into a magical realm that has the sacred hush of an ancient cathedral or a great art museum. We almost feel we should keep our voices down and turn off our cell phones out of respect.
So how would you feel if suddenly, as you quietly admired a dark and starry sky, you heard the stars making all kinds of crazy noises?
Einstein's theory of spacetime tells us that the real universe is not silent, but is actually alive with vibrating energy. Space and time carry a cacophony of vibrations with textures and timbres as rich and varied as the din of sounds in a tropical rain forest or the finale of a Wagner opera. It's just that we haven't heard those sounds yet. The universe is a musical that we've been watching all this time as a silent movie.

Bley Franken with RhinestonesSaturday, April 28, 2012
Good morning, dear readers!
This manicure is a few weeks old (I never got around to posting it). Please forgive the burns on my index and middle finger >.<.
I started with an un-named bley (blue-grey, as coined by the lovely Amanda XD) franken (any ideas?), then added some glitter and rhinestones. :D
Here is the franken on it's own:
It could have used another coat as I can see some balding now in the photos. Oh well! ^-^
Have a fantastic day!!! :D

Adhesion of chemically and electrostatically bound gold nanoparticles to a self-assembled silane monolayer investigated by atomic force volume spectroscopy

The adhesion of gold nanoparticles either electrostatically or chemically attached to a substrate has been probed using AFM operating in force spectroscopy mode. A monolayer of –NH2 terminated 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane or –SH terminated 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane was self-assembled onto a p-type silicon (100) substrate. Each silane monolayer provided the point of attachment for citrate stabilised gold colloid nanoparticles. In the case of the –NH2 terminated layer gold colloid assembly was driven by the electrostatic attraction between the negative, citrate-capped, gold nanoparticles and a partially protonated amine layer. In the case of the –SH terminated regions, well-known gold–thiol chemistry was used to chemically attach the nanoparticles. An atomic force microscope tip was chemically modified with 3-mercaptopropyltrimethoxysilane and scanned across each surface, where the cantilever deflection was measured at each x, y pixel of the image to create an array of adhesion force curves. This has allowed an unprecedented nanoscale characterisation of the adhesion force central to two common surface attachment methods of gold colloid nanoparticles, providing useful insights into the stability of nanoscale constructs.

3d graphs (parametric)
I am working on a project with Mathematica 3 for Win 95, and I was
wondering if it is possible to do a 3D plot of some sorts that will
involve 5 equations. Basicly, I have 3 motion (location) equations, 1
for time, and 1 for rotation/orientation of particle. Really, the
equations are just parameters, but the program doesn't like that many
of them, so I have been stuck with just plotting each equation
individually. Maybe if I could do multiple graphs or something???
Any help would be great!!

Sen. Sam Brownback suggested Thursday that a pilot program based on the Homestead Act could bring revitalization and relief to Greensburg.
Through a series of tax incentives, Brownback told media in a conference call that he hopes the program would stimulate the town's economy and encourage it to grow.
The program would have four main components:
a $5,000 tax credit for all first-time homebuyers;
help paying down student loans for people to move in and stay in Greensburg;
tax credits for investing in the rural community;
a venture capital fund.
Similar programs have successfully worked in cities, Brownback said, but this would be the first in a rural area.
"We're going to see if we can get this in place as a pilot project, and I think it could be a good project in Greensburg," Brownback said.
He said he is working with Gov. Kathleen Sebelius to waive the local disaster assistance program match. Normally, the federal government would give 75 percent of a city's requested funds, with the city ponying up 25 percent.
"We're pushing that that local match be rescinded because there is no local match to be had," Brownback said. "The community needs its money for local purposes."
Kiowa County Commissioner Gene West, who hadn't heard the specifics about Brownback's plan, said it was something to consider.
"Anything that can help is going to be great," West said.

Terminating your parental rights just to avoid paying child support will be frowned upon, it is like not owning up to your responsibility. Weather or not she is a liar, your husband still had sex with her and possibly created a baby with her. It is just as much HIS baby as it is hers (if he is found to be the father). Sorry if this comes off as being mean, but we have so many mamas here chasing after deadbeat dads and struggling to keep food on the table. I don't think it's fair that the father has a desision on weather or not he feels like paying support and being involved in his child's life. Everyone needs to think of the CHILD FIRST.

Actor Neil Nitin Mukesh is shooting for his upcoming movie which is also a romantic thriller named 'Shortcut Romeo'. He in the beginning enjoyed shooting the action sequences of the film that was held in the jungles of Kenya. He later on admitted that shooting action sequences in a jungle is really a tough job. The shooting of the jungle part was in Masai Mara which is a game reserve in south – western Kenya. It is a large natural reserve perfect to give the film the Jungle – Feel it needs.
The actor tweeted about his experience of the shooting in jungle and said he had to crawl for the action sequences in the jungle. The actor said in his tweet that he had hundreds of thorns in his hand and was surprised how the wild animals never got pricked. The 30 – year – old actor seemed to have a tough time shooting in the jungle.
Sunil Ganeshan is both the director and producer of the upcoming film 'Shortcut Romeo' which is a remake of the Tamil film 'Thiruttu Payale' which released in 2006. In this film Puja Gupta plays the lady love of Neil and we will see Ameesha in the negative role this time. Recently Neil Nitin Mukesh was seen in a multi – starrer movie 'Players' along with Bobby Deo,l Abhishek Bachchan and others. 'Players' was all about mastermind strategy behind a grand theft and revenge.
More tweets from Neil about his jungle experience were found in the social networking site. One said about his experience when they had to hurry back to their safari carriages as a group of ten lioness came out to hunt for antelopes. The actor said that all his pain from the thorns vanished after seeing this.
The actor will also be giving his voice for a song in the film as he has earlier done in his movie 'Aa Dekhe Zara' and 'Jail'.

Congratulations, on first crack. You might want to invest in a card that suports packet injection .
I am so happy, I just cracked my wireless network for the first time (64-bit). Took me 2 days, lol, cause my card does not support packet injection (Netgear MA311). What I did was collect 25,000 ivs and copied the .cap file to my usb drive... and since I suck at Linux, I downloaded aircrack 9.1 for windows and tried that way. But it still did not work. So what I did next was check the box that says "Use PTW attack," and bingo! Cracked it in about 1 minute! I am sure I could have done this in the command line in backtrack2, just do not know the specific command (I did try various commands suggested by different tutorials, maybe it is just the 0.7 version of aircrack in bt2, don't know). Sorry, don't know if this post was appropriate, thank you all (u know who u r) for helping this noob out!
Congratulations, on first crack. You might want to invest in a card that suports packet injection .
The command line to use if you are using the PTW method is:
aircrack-ng -z -n 64 filename.cap
-z tells it to use the PTW method
-n 64 tells it that it is a 64 bit key, and this will speed up the process.
filename.cap is the capture file.
Thanks phoenix910! What extactly is PTW?
That wep doc was a good read, is there a directory or site with more of those type papers?
As always, thanks for all your help and knowledge guys!
