All achievements are obtainable; however the tracking system in the game is a bit glitch and doesnt track everything every time. If you restart a challenge a lot the mines you collect do not count. Even when you complete a challenge they do not count either. For this achievement it will be easiest to follow the achievement guide and follow the two controller approach to getting enough mines. Also, achievements related to completion or collection will pop up at the scoreboard or at the mission select screen very inconsistent. The achievements that are kill related will pop when the kill happens.
The online achievements will not register at all if you have more than one account signed in playing online. Although the game supports you taking a guest with you for online battle it appears if the achievements are disabled in this form of multiplayer. Total wins, if you are doing this achievement with a second controller it will only track properly in local play, and sometimes wins dont register so make sure you dont spam past the win screen.
What causes the tracker to miss information Im not sure of. But I can report what I have noticed and the precautions I took to correct the glitches hope this helps other sailers!
This is a fun little arcade game that does require a good bit of skill in order to even complete the challenges portion of the game. Im going to lay out just a few bullet points that will be useful on all levels. There are 3 major areas Im going to outline briefly to help understand the strategy used for gold medals in the levels below: Driving, Attacking, and Stuff in the Water. As for achievements, if you can get 15 Gold Stars, youve already gotten the other 10 offline achievements.
Boat Driving Tactics: At the start of each match, during the countdown, if you mash the A button you will get a boast or fast start just like Mario Kart. Getting a gold star on a level is very dependent on getting a good start; Ill be setting goals by certain times. My suggestion is practicing the opening on the level till you reach the goal before moving on. If you dont have a hot start it is very difficult to recover in this game. Never drive the sides of your boat near the sides of another ship unless you are 100% sure their cannons arent armed, which is never! Always approach the front or rear for an attack. Also you can head on collide without taking a lot of damage most times then just turn your cannons toward the opponent for easy kills. Finally driving point, avoid getting caught in traffic. Getting caught in a jam always results in taking damage; unless you are skilled at quickly taking down ships in a jam avoiding getting in the middle of the clustering ships will help keep your scores straight. Even though there are obviously stupid AI and smarter AI they are all chase after you the same way, learn the pattern the AI pursues and how to kill something chasing you and getting kills will happen faster each attempt.
Attacking: This is the most challenging aspect of the game if you can get down the science of always getting the kill when you need it you are well on your way to having a few gold stars. When firing the cannons I found it best to alternate firing. This way you get to fire about every two seconds opposed to every four. Alternating also prevents you from being a sitting duck against an opponent or just missing that quick kill before the AI runs into the island. The bumpers serve two useful purposes for training in this game. The Color of the arrow tells you if that cannon is ready. Green means Ready to go: and Red means reloading. After you fire either cannon it takes roughly 3 seconds to be ready to fire again. The second purpose of the bumper is to help you aim. Learning to aim well and how to deliver effective attacks will be the one aspect of the game that focusing on will improve your performance over all. I found in trying different styles and the controller layouts that aiming is easiest with the game defaults. Holding down both bumpers was nice when learning how to time out the reloads, however found it confusing to learn which cannon was which side. I found that holding down only the right bumper to be the best to hold down all the time that way if a boat approached the side of the boat without the arrow it meant to pull the left trigger since the boats can get small and spun around at points there is a learning curve as to which cannon to fire at times.
Stuff in the Water: Power-ups and Mines. Power-ups are pretty straight forward. They each serve their different purposes. Look in the help if you want to see a listing of what they are. Two notes on power ups: 1. The AI typically are good with the power ups, so be aware of what the computer and/or your teammate may have. 2. Make sure when you get a health pack and you are below half health to just use it survival is extremely important to reaching a lot of the gold star goals. Mines are the secret ingredient to the your damage and kills in this game. Picking them up always scores points, its less objects on the screen you have to avoid when they are your color, and if you control ¾ of the mines on the board the opponents will always be 3 cannon balls away from death in almost every scenario.

With all these little piece of advice in mind lets dive into the 15 challenges with a few bullet points on each one to getting a gold star, if I ever get setup to capture game play on my computer Id put up video walkthroughs.
Challenge 1 You, Cannon Do It: Gold Star 125 pts.
Fast start. Early on focus on getting mines, if the other ship approaches your cannons try and put damage on him otherwise the mines are the most important thing to focus on. Once you have the major of the mines in your favor start trying to push the other ship into the upper right corner to set up a grave camp. Doing figure eights allows you to circle an opponent and alternate the guns increasing damage are a kill or two back to mines, on all the levels where you score with mines always keep on top of that collection because its free damage. With about 1:00 in the run you should have at least achieved 90-95 points. If you are not around this number getting to 125 is getting out of the question. When setting these goals I aimed for most to be reached roughly: 10-15 seconds before the clock runs out.
Challenge 2 Sunset Showdown: Gold Star 2:20
4 ship free for all. Fast start at the beginning and swing out around to the green ship on the right side. All three opponents will fire all of their cannons within the first second or two in almost all of my starts. This will avoid taking damage early. The real trick to this level is trying to keep the number of lives even on all the opponents, since its a free for all they damage each other quite a bit and each ship that gets taken out is more work that you have to do eating up the clock. If you time up the kills right you can be firing your second shot to kill a ship right as the next ship shows up to take its first shot. If you die more than 3 times on an attempt odds are against you meeting the goal in time.
Challenge 3 Mine o Mine: Gold Star :50
100% Focus on collecting mines, firing the cannons is only necessary if the other ship is hurt and blocking your road. You can fast start this one if you want or slow start. My best scores I have used slow start but have more consistent results using a fast start. Once you are in a match slow controlled driving and staying focused should get a gold star. If you want to make it easy on yourself restart till you get a match that has a mine clear power up. Get to 25 seconds then use the power up and you have fresh mines across the board to rush to the finish with.
Challenge 4 9 Lives? But Im a Sea Dog! Gold Star 2:20
Shooting pro level. This is a level where using your bumpers will really help out. Get in a rythmn killing and the boats will start to come to you. If you get overwhelmed remember to head on collide it will serve as a short stun that will help you get a kill lined up. Keep your deaths to a minimum and this level is not too difficult.

Challenge 5 Rampage: Gold Star 2:15
Fast Start. Get those crates and line up kills quickly. AI will race to crates as they fall in the water so make sure you are first there and a ship to ram will not be too far behind. If a boat gets the power-up try and stay behind or away from it. Get a double kill or two and you will be well on your way. You have to get 5 kills (25pts) before the 1:00 remaining marker, that gives you time to get into a groove and get a kill every 12 seconds before time runs out.
Challenge 6 Marathon Match: Gold Star 625 pts.
Honestly, every time I have played this challenge I have gotten a gold star. Probably the easiest challenge. However its 10:00 long, ugh. Best advice is to track your progress that means 250 points every 3 minutes. Staying alive gets points the fastest. Try positioning yourself close to the volcano lapping circles. This will get you mines as they are falling into the water which will boast all your scores throughout the match, youll notice that youll be taking larger paths or turning around more if a computer gets a cluster in the inside.
Challenge 7 I Dont Mine, Do You?: Gold Star 2:10
Focus on grabbing mines. To stay on pace you need to get 20 mines every 40 seconds. Only engage combat with the other ships if they are getting in your way or stealing large amounts of mines, but dont distract yourself getting kills. Try and always be a lane behind the plane. Example: If the plane is flying downward then you need to be picking up the trail left up top going right. The plane will drop mines in clusters or in zigzags, try learning these drop patterns and youll find keeping on pace to be much easier.
Challenge 8 Stormy Seas Ahoy!: Gold Star 2:00
Slow start. Only allowed 1 death make it count, 2 if you are already ahead of pace. Best advice on this level is to stick to the middle after you have a few kills under your belt and it doesnt feel over whelming. The AI will sail directly towards you this way then it becomes simply lining up shots and knocking them down. Get a good rhythm to your kills on this challenge and the gold is yours.
Challenge 9 3 Way Action: Gold Star 170 pts.
2 vs. 1. Sail around the middle tower collecting fresh mines which will result in several easy kills. Wait to attack until the AI ships are injured which insures that your shots will be kills. Keep your deaths to a minimum and the points will be flooding in, in no time. As always set your goal to achieve a gold star about 5-7 seconds before the clock runs out that way if you run in to a jam you dont fall 2 points shy before the clock runs out, and then your stuck on the loading screen again, and then the game freezes updating leaderboards, then kicks you to dashboard, then pops up an error message, sigh my save for this game glitched for a day and thats what happened. Not very fun, yes this game is just glitchy at times so its just smart to pad numbers a little bit.

Challenge 10 All By Myself: Gold Star 3:00
This level you cannot afford to die, survival is utterly important. Stay near the inner circle of the island and collect as many mines as possible. If you collect plenty of mines the rest will unfold itself into an easy scenario. If you can survive long enough to a high score in the first minute youll see this is a fairly easy gold star.
Challenge 11 Booty Pincher: Gold Star 2:00
This is a crowd control exercise. You need to get the deaths of the ships alternating with your kills. You can only score from picking up treasure. You need to pick up 15 chests in two minutes which if you kill properly thats 5 kills 6 if you arent lucky. Try and fight towards one of the opponents spawning zone. If you alternate properly and position in a corner the other ship will spawn far enough away you are always fighting in a 1v1 scenario making picking up the triangle of chests up much easier. Just remember when a ship spawns it is invulnerable until it stops sparkling which is about 3 seconds. Dont get caught trying to fight a ship that cant take damage your weapons are your life saver.
Challenge 12 Monkey See, Monkey Do: Gold Star 2:45
Fast start. Snatch up as many mines close to the volcano as you can. As far as damaging the other ships and score. Collect mines and kill as ships get in your way and clean up their remains. Your partner is rather reliable here. If the partner gets a chance at getting a power up let them have it and they will put it to good use. Although the partner doesnt collect many mines it will grab treasure well. I suggest trying to get 100 pts withen the first minute. If you can keep this pace getting 250 in the time limit will come easily if you stay focused on controlling mines on the board the kills will come as well and only 3 more gold stars to go.
Challenge 13 Shark Infested Waters: Gold Star 2:15
Four player free for all. Slow start. Once again stay close to the island. You need to be the one getting the crates, you should be able to kill ships as they come to get crates and sail towards you if you time it all up right. You should be able to get 5 kills or 25 points by 1:00 into the match. This will leave you 1:15 to get the remaining 5 kills. 2 deaths is about the most respawn time you can afford even if youve already gotten a monster kill.
Challenge 14 Mellow Yellow: Gold Star 2:30
This is the most difficult challenge in the game. If you can beat it my honest opinion is that you will get gold or very close to gold. There are four crates on this level each located on a point of the compass. Fast start. Boost towards the left crate and grab it then escape up through the north top of the mine cluster and you can sail out without taking damage or out of bounds.
As a note to this part, if you play your cards right you can get a perfect start. If the two ships on the right get the boost they will chase you out of bounds, once you reset your timer you can bump them to get a free quick kill from the kraken getting you closer to gold. If it works out right you can even get all three boats from the start with the kraken for a quick triple kill in 15 seconds.
Back to the level You have to get 12 kills in one life. The bottom left ship, the smaller ship will have 5 lives focus on him the most. The bottom right ship will have 4 he is second priority. And the final ship with 3 lives is lowest of your concerns. Shooting a quick 3 shots into the front of the volcano can get a free kill or two, but dont focus on keeping it active its just a perk. About half way through the timer the mines will float inwards, be aware of them and dont take damage. Unnecessary damage will ultimately lead to a restart. If your health gets to half make sure you heal. Grabbing the health crates without taking damage takes practice, especially the bottom crate because it always seems to be off camera. Gold on this level and only the final level to go.
Challenge 15 The Duck Hunt: Gold Star 140 pts.
All kills are one shot. Fast start, focus on collecting mines but also make sure you shoot to kill if an AI is near or they will take you down instead. If you get off to a slow start restart. If you get behind on picking up mines you are ultimately dooming yourself. Getting power ups are useful but dont let them get in the way of killing. Everything is one shot, focus on doing damage sail for mines and avoid getting shot. Make sure you pick up the treasure from your kills. The big trick to this level is trying to outscore the other three ships. If you are able to outscore them then you already are on the pace to getting 140 points. Dont get tied up and stay moving on this match, also be aware of which boat has what power up so you arent getting bombarded by missiles and rams.
Complete this challenge and the achievement is yours. Good luck all ye scurvy sea dogs! See you on the leader boards.

Health & Community Impact
Customers want us to contribute to healthy lifestyles and healthy communities. We aim to achieve this by being a good neighbour wherever we operate
Customer Choice, Health & Nutrition
Supermarkets have a responsibility to help customers make the right choices. We do that by offering a diverse range of products at affordable prices and providing the information people need.
In-store & Community Initiatives
Tesco Ireland aims to make healthy eating more affordable for customers by developing our Healthy Living range, introducing nutritional labelling on all our own brand products, and prioritising healthy eating promotional campaigns such as Operation Transformation. We have launched several initiatives and promotional campaigns as part of our strategy to make healthy eating more affordable and appealing at Tesco.
Some of the initiatives and promotional campaigns include:
- Regular savings and special offers on basic fruit and vegetable items
- Introducing Tesco Home Grown in Ireland, promoting Irish home grown and seasonal produce
- Healthy Recipes and Tesco Diets Online
- Supporting customers participating in Operation Transformation we have been running very special promotions for customers on ingredients for the programme's recipes, with at least 25% off a huge range of products, making it simpler and cheaper to take part!
Nutrition Labelling
We are introducing nutrition labelling on all of our eligible own-brand food lines. The only exceptions are food cooked in-store and products where it would be impractical to add a label, such as herbs and spices.
Our nutrition labelling uses Guideline Daily Amounts (GDA) and tells customers how many calories and how much sugar, fat, saturates and salt they will eat in one serving, along with the percentage GDA for a typical adult. GDA labelling indicates the amount of salt, sugar, calories, fat and saturated fat that a serving of a product contains, compared with the recommended Guideline Daily Amounts. It gives our customers an efficient and easy way to choose healthy products and is especially useful for those who are counting calories or have health issues.Back to top
Responsible Retailing of Alcohol & Cigarettes
Our approach to healthy living also encompasses the responsible retailing of alcohol and cigarettes. As Ireland's largest retailer, we are fully committed to playing our part. We already have strict policies to prevent underage sales of alcohol and tobacco. All retail staff involved with the sale of alcohol and tobacco are trained on the legal implications of selling such products to underage customers.Back to top
Tesco Opticians & Pharmacies
2011 witnessed more firsts for Tesco in Ireland with the opening of 3 Tesco Opticians (Balbriggan, Portlaoise and Naas) together with 3 Tesco Pharmacies (Balbriggan, Portlaoise and Naas). This was followed in 2012 with an additional pharmacy at Tesco Newbridge. Offering a full range of services, the Opticians and Pharmacies build on Tesco's long standing commitment to health and making affordable options avail to its customers.Back to top
Charity & Community
We are committed to working with and becoming part of the communities in which we operate, and to helping staff and customers pool their resources to support causes that are close to their hearts. Every Little Helps isn't just a slogan – Tesco Ireland puts it into practice by supporting local projects at a local store level. These are typically projects that benefit children, people with disabilities, the elderly and the environment.
At Tesco Ireland we are involved with local communities on several levels, including:
- The Tesco Charity of the Year
- The Tesco for Schools and Clubs Programme
- Sponsoring Community Champions in 25 of our stores
- Supporting local projects and initiatives at store level
- Sponsoring the Ladies Gaelic Football All Ireland Club & Post Primary Schools Championships
We also play our part in supporting national charities, such as Barnardos and the Simon Communities, by arranging bag packs and flag days in our stores throughout Ireland to help raise much needed funds to assist the charities in maintaining their level of services at a time of continuing hardship for many in Ireland.Back to top
Community Champions
Tesco have now introduced Community Champions in 25 stores across Ireland. Community Champions are Tesco Customer Assistants who paid to spend 15 hours of their work week working and creating links with their local communities and organisations.
As a Community Champion, their task is to understand local community issues and to utilise Tesco skills, knowledge and resources to make a difference. This can be anything from organising tours of the store by local schools, cups and coffee for the local youth group to arranging fund raising events for local charities and clubs. By giving our employees the time and tools to work with their neighbourhood, we make a real difference.Back to top
Tesco Charity of the Year
Tesco Ireland started Charity of the Year in 2001 and to date, through the generosity and fund raising of Tesco staff, customers and their local communities, Tesco Charity of the Year has raised over €10.5 million for good causes and charities in Ireland.
During the most recent Tesco Charity of the Year partnership with the Irish Cancer Society in 2010 & 2011, Tesco raised over €1.9 million and funded the roll out of the Society's Care to drive scheme, a volunteer based transport programme for those living with cancer in Ireland, to an 12 additional locations nationwide.
For 2012 and 2013, Tesco Ireland has chosen Aware as their new Staff Charity of the Year, with all funds raised through the two-year partnership going towards two national projects: Beat the Blues secondary schools awareness programmes (2012) and the rollout of Living Life to the Full, a new Cognitive Behavioural Therapy programme assisting adults with mild to moderate depression (2013).Back to top
Tesco for Schools & Clubs
Tesco Ireland celebrates its 15th anniversary of our Schools and Clubs programme in 2012. We were one of the first companies to make a long-term commitment to an educational scheme of this scale, and it is still the largest of its kind in this country.
Since the start of the scheme in 1998, Tesco Ireland has given away almost €17 million worth of equipment. 2011 alone saw more than 1,600 schools and clubs participated, and we gave away 30,000 individual pieces of equipment worth over €725,000. The scheme is open to all primary and secondary schools in Ireland together with children's sports clubs. School and clubs can choose equipment from our bumper catalogue across the areas of ICT, sports and health, green schools, basic skills and creativity.

Ladies Gaelic Football
Tesco Ireland are the proud sponsors of the Ladies Gaelic Football All Ireland Club & Post Primary Schools Championships. This is the largest female participation sport in Ireland with over 1,000 clubs.Back to top


text: Someone on another board asked a good question. Where do we post threads that deal with live action versions of manga/anime/game series? I told the person in question to post her question in the anime section even though it wasn't based on anime but the live action series. Other costumes doesn't seem to be the right place either so maybe with many anime/manga/game series being turned into live action movies/series maybe a new forum is needed?

In an effort to honor our veterans and provide them with a fitting final resting place, U.S. Senator Jack Reed today announced that Rhode Island will receive $1.1 million to improve operations and maintenance at the Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Exeter. This grant was awarded through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Cemetery Grants Program.
"I am pleased that the federal government is providing this funding to improve the hallowed grounds of the Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Exeter," said Reed, a member of the Appropriations subcommittee that oversees federal spending on veterans programs. "Our veterans have served with great distinction and it is imperative that we honor their sacrifices. This grant will help enhance the final resting place for those who served."
In 2007, Reed helped secure over $5.7 million to expand and renovate the cemetery. This money supported the construction of the new Administration and Honor Guard building, a public information center and restroom access kiosk, one thousand ninety new cremation niches, and the widening of the main entrance road. This new funding will enhance the day-to-day operations of the cemetery.
The Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery in Exeter spans 265 acres and is one of the most active veterans cemeteries in the country. It serves as a final resting place for Rhode Island veterans who have served their country honorably during wartime and their eligible dependents. The grounds of the cemetery include a number of memorials dedicated to veterans of specific wars and conflicts.
Over 20,000 veterans and their eligible dependents are interred at the Rhode Island Veterans Memorial Cemetery.

And lastly, for the purpose of the discussion of RP and marial law.
There is big difference in Title 10 (federal) and Title 32 (state) call ups.
When serving under Title 32 Active Duty, Title 32 service is primarily state active duty.
This includes the following forms of active service:
o State Active Duty (SAD). The Governor can activate National Guard
personnel to "State Active Duty" in response to natural or man-made disasters
or Homeland Defense missions. State Active Duty is based on State statute
and policy as well as State funds, and the Soldiers and Airmen remain under
the command and control of the Governor. A key aspect of this duty status is
that the Posse Comitatus Act (PCA) does not apply.
Boot at Benning
Jumped at Ft Brag
OSUT attached at Ft Knox for tank training
A company 2ID - 1st heavy Camp Casey (Iron Brigade) or 2-72 Armor (as this changed while I was in service whith the reformatting of 2ID)
deployed from Korea to small town of Ar-Ramadi Iraq as a tank regiment attached to 2ID 2004-2005 (as well as everywhere in between) Rolling with Marine scouts at that time.
Then back to 2-81 knox as an instructor (SSG)
I am truly sorry I doubted your service 1SG.
All my photos are in print at home. I'll scan some later. I have a lot I can't put up here. But I have a few I can.
Back to the issue at hand. My problem stemmed from your remark on weather the NG were or were not a military presence. Its irrelevant to what their purpose is. I understand what you are trying to say about what their purpose is defined by who called them up. However, They are still military and their presence (in that manner seen in Boston) deserves an answer. Their presence is a violation to our freedoms and rights. Its down right larceny to our freedoms you and I fought to protect.
Maybe they thought there was no need to announce it. However, they should have. And if things like this become standard. Shooting up unarmed terrorists hiding in a boat with over 1000 rounds of which none hit their target is hardly the security I would want. Martial law, cerfew, and military presence and illegal search and seizure, none of which I know are legal without court order or martial law.
An informed, educated and armed citizenry could have solved this better. A hotline to call in and say my home and my property are secured and we are armed. Then no grey boundaries would have been crossed. But that is just my utopia.
Again sorry for doubting your service 1SG. I assumed your statements were of contempt of the NG not actually being soldiers. Even though I heard what you said about their assistance to the war, I took it as a left winger tactic to say one thing nice and deceive the real intention of your post. I call it Bully debating. As usual, "when you assume, you assume great risk" For that I apologize.
When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.
1 Corinthians Chapter 13 - 11
It's not boot camp, it's basic training.
So you lied about being assigned to the 82nd. Jumping at Bragg doesn't assign you to a unit and you know that. To me everything you say about Army is now in question.
My love for anyone that laces up boots and puts their life on the line for this country has no lines. It matters not what MOS they are or what patch or badge is on their uniform, I care about them all. This should put an end to this for you.
The people that assaulted the boat were not NG they were either local cops or FBI and clearly they needed some more training. However, they had no idea what weaponry the target had on him and I would have blasted his *** before I maneuvered on the boat.
I don't know who did searches or whether or not they had warrants or cause to search homes. We see one video of people being detained from a house. I don't know anymore then that.
When did I lie? I said 11X (which states I wasn't assigned to anyone who obviously knows the MOS) So there is no lie there. In fact honesty. I felt a part of the 82nd even though I wasn't attached. And was devastated when I checked my AKO account to see orders to the latter. But as you say, highlighted in bold above; I respond, your opinion means squat to me. As you are clearly wrong.
I tried to be nice to you. But as in typical 1SG action you want to be "Top Dog." I'll just let that go, as your ego is clearly bigger than your limited brain. (11. X. NOT. UNIT. robot mentality)
I've read every post on this thread. You are not a very nice person are you? You should call me and we can talk about it sometime. Battle.
When I was a child, I used to talk as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I put aside childish things.

Again, just because you jump(you'd have to post your jump log for me to believe it) or felt you were part of the 82nd does not mean you severed there. You know exactly what I mean and it has nothing to do with rank, poser. Yup, calling you out on it. I drove by 3/75 yesterday on my way to air field so in your mind I served with BN.
This isn't about you or I but you wanted to travel down the dusty trail. But hey, thanks for serving.
You shouldn't be mad that you are a tanker or you were made to be a tanker. I know a lot of great tanker door kickers and the M1 is a beast!!! I'm always happy to see you guys!
"Maybe they thought there was no need to announce it. However, they should have. And if things like this become standard."
So much for this-
"Shooting up unarmed terrorists hiding in a boat with over 1000 rounds of which none hit their target is hardly the security I would want."
I saw the video and have to comment that if this is how our NG troops were trained, we're screwed. The 9 bystanders in NYC who were shot- all shot by the Police.
From http://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/26/ny...anted=all&_r=0,
"There is no national data on how often bystanders are struck by police bullets; Geoffrey P. Alpert, a criminologist at the University of South Carolina and an expert on the police use of force, said that hitting innocent civilians doesnt happen very often, but it happens.
No shyte- they also shoot when a less lethal method would work fine. MKE Police killed two people with knives in the last week- if someone makes a move, the others can move out of range- it's not like they'll be accurate if they throw it. I think a shotgun with rock salt would make someone think twice.
"An informed, educated and armed citizenry could have solved this better. A hotline to call in and say my home and my property are secured and we are armed. Then no grey boundaries would have been crossed. But that is just my utopia. "
Yeah- about the informed, educated part- I think this is gonna be tough with the lap dog media and the prevailing school curricula.
The Judge with words of rationalism.

"It is no coincidence that the century of total war coincided with the century of central banking" - Ron Paul
The deep end......... He just went off it.
I don't want to live in a police state...So I am with Ron Paul. Even in light of what happened in Boston. I have many relatives in Poland and when I was there in 1973 (pre-lech walenca) there was armed guards everywhere. Also saw military vehicles in Warsaw regularly. As an American my clothes gave me away as tourist... I did not enjoy the attention military with automatic weapons always looking at me.
As the good judge said - our founding fathers knew that too much power in the hands of government is not a good idea.
Ron Paul knows he we can't get the country back up on it's wheels - so he pulls as hard he can... just think what it would be like around this country if we did things a bit more logically - like the Constitution spells out.
...A bad day water skiing still beats a good day at work...1995 Pro Star 205....
Comparing day to day life in Poland to the 4 or 5 days of Boston is apples and oranges. We are not under daily lock down or anything close to that. There are not military forces with automatic weapons roaming our streets daily.
It was a response to terrorist attack. We were and are fighting a war here and I think the people in charge will always have a difficult time balancing use of force for the protection of the people.

how to determine the center or foci of an ellipse from a slope
Hi guys,
I have a slope field (2d-array), which is defined
by ellipses (can be arbitrarily tilted), which all have the
same foci and center but different major and minor half axes.
In fact, I obtained the tangent at each point by measurements.
Does somebody have an idea on how to approach the problem
of finding the center or the foci of the ellipses? I think
there is no exact solution to the problem?
Best Regards,

Have Arsenal already employed Wenger's successor? – Conspiracy Theory!!
Rumours are rife that Wenger has not signed the new contract on offer and is considering not doing so. Some feel and I agree that he is a man of honour and will not sign this deal unless he feels he had taken Arsenal forward this season and that he can do so gain in 2014/15.
It would be hard to argue in any footballing sense that we have progressed as a team as we are certainly not playing an improved or different brand of football. The fact that we are so predictable and the samey and even more so without the pace of Ramey and Walcott is undeniable for me at least On the flipside we have attracted a world star in Ozil, spent big in the process and we have a realistic chance of finally winning a trophy , the FA Cup. Whether that will be enough to convince a wavering fan base remains to be seen but given his position and what he had achieved for the football club, that is perhaps not as relevant what the man himself feels.
None of us know what Wenger might be thinking but if he is not having doubts about his vision for the team after the last 2 months he lacks the integrity I believe he has. What cannot ever be questioned is the deep love he has for the institution that is Arsenal FC and that he will always want what is best for it. He will have to determine if he has the strength and conviction to take on the task for 2 more years and it that is what is best for his club.
So what if he determines that this summer is the time to pass on the baton who will pick it up for the next leg? What comes next from me is largely guesswork and theorisation but not all.
In January it was announced that Dutchman Andries Jonker would be taking over from Liam Brady as Head of Youth Development at the club. When it was reported that the appointment was made by Gazidis and not Wenger I was intrgued. That piece of information piqued my interest a while ago and I read up on Jonker, who has an impressive coaching pedigree. My mind began working overtime when this week I read he is bringing in two other Dutch coaches, Frans de Kat and Jan van Loon taking over the Under 18s and Under 16s respectively.
I began to wonder if a contingency plan might not already be in motion should Wenger decide not to sign. After all there is a fairly obvious precedent for the club bringing in a man, who whilst not a big name was in fact a widely respected coach. This would not fit with the social media clamour for a Low, Klopp or a Martinez but there can be no doubting the 51 year olds credentials both within the Dutch FA set up, as a right hand man to Louis van Gaal and as a number one to a degree in his own right.
Van Gaal and Jonker first teamed up at Barcelona in 2002/3 but it was between 2009 and 2012 at Bayern Munich that he truly came to the fore. Between 2009 and 2011 he coached Bayern's first team Bundesliga triumph, the German Cup in 2010 and to a Champions League final in the same year. Even when Van Gaal was sacked in the April of 2011 Jonker was asked to remain as interim manager and won 4 and drew one of the last 5 games. A period which the Bayern players enjoyed as this quote from our favourite player Robben will beat testament to: 'Andries Jonker brought joy back to training and we rallied under him.'
When Heynckes returned to steady the ship and ultimately take the Bayern back to the peak Jonker was retained in the final year of his contract and asked to take the Bayern Munich II and oversea potential future stars.
I am certain a question over such a promotion to a top job might be around the ability of Jonker to attract the big names the Arsenal fans crave. However it is as important to further develop those we have who are on the brink of greatness such as Chamberlain, Wilshere and Ramsey. A quick look back to the period of 2009 and 2011 in Munich might give an indication.
Tomas Muller – Promoted from Bayern II by Van Gaal/Jonker 2009
Toni Kroos – Brought back from loan and promoted by Van Gaal/Jonker 2010
Holger Badstuber – Promoted from Bayern II by Van Gaal/Jonker 2009
David Alaba – Promoted from Bayern II 2009 and loaned to Hoffenhein 2010 for experience by Van Gaal/Jonker
Luis Gustavo – Signed from Hoffenheim for Bayern Jan 2011 by Van Gaal/Jonker. (Followed him to Wolfsburg!)
Obviously all this is conspiracy theory and I am not claiming it is anything more but what we do know is that the footballing philosophy of Jonker would be very similar to that we have become accustomed to. We also know that he has experience of working with the very best talent in Europe.
But he is not a big name though right?
One final interesting factor to add to the mix is that we all know Van Gaal is stepping down as Dutch National team boss after the World Cup. We also know he has expressed an interest in managing in the Premiership and has even thrown his hat in the ring to manage in North London in Seven Sisters. If the Arsenal job was to be available and given a choice I think we all know who he would choose!
Van Gaal has won leagues in Holland and the Champions League with Ajax and the old UEFA Cup. In Spain with Barca he won back to back La Ligas and the Copa Del Ray. At Bayern he oversaw, with Jonker the season I described in 2010, winning a domestic double, signed Robben and converted Schweinsteiger from a winger to one of the best centre midfielders in the world.
He has just lead the Dutch to Brazil undefeated winning 9 out of 10 qualifiers and unlike Martinez, Klopp and Guardiola is available should our present manager decide to hand up his coat and it's troublesome zip. Is a Jonker coach and Van Gaal Technical Director or Jonker assistant to Van Gaal not quite an interesting combination?
Just asking?
Until next time

Posted by Stephanie Balaouras on September 21, 2010
Last week, I wrote a blog post summarizing the Day 1 opening keynotes at Forrester's Security Forum. This week, I'd like to recap the Day 2 opening keynotes. The second or last day at any event is always a challenge; attendees are always tempted to leave early or to stay in their hotel rooms to get some work done or if the event is in Vegas, squeeze in some craps (my favorite) or drop a few coins in a nearby slot. Luckily, we held the event in Boston and the lobsters have nowhere to run, so most attendees were happy to stick around until the end of the day. Not only did we have great attendance on Day 2, but there was a palpable buzz in the air. The audience asked tough questions and no one was spared — Forrester analysts, industry guest speakers, and vendors. While the main topic of Day 1 seemed to focus on risk and overall strategy, governance, and oversight, Day 2 focused on coming up with the specifics — the specific plans, the specific policies. As Andrew Jaquith stated in his keynote, to provide better data security, "you don't need more widgets, what you need is a plan."
Below are some of the highlights from the Day 2 keynotes:
Posted by Stephanie Balaouras on September 14, 2010
I had the chance to sit down with Credit Suisse's CISO and Head of IT Risk, Daniel Barriuso, to ask him a few questions about his role at Credit Suisse and his approach to security. Daniel will be keynoting this week at Forrester's Security Forum, which kicks off this Thursday, September 16th. Here's a sample of our Q&A below:
Why is a more holistic approach to IT security so important today?
[Barriuso]: Given the complex and fast changing IT security landscape, a holistic approach is key to being able to effectively understand the end-to-end threat landscape and manage it proactively. This entails planning for both current and emerging threats, identifying future trends, and making conscious decisions on the security investments required.
What were some of the most important lessons that you learned over the last several years?
[Barriuso]: A key lesson that I have learned through my career is that governance is the foundation for a strong IT security organization. Often organizations focus on technology and technical controls as the main driver to secure data. Instead, a top-down approach is required, beginning with the policy, governance bodies, and risk management framework.
What advice would you give to other senior security leaders who want to move to this more holistic approach?

Attach self-propelling bacteria to a cog and they'll set it spinning for you, say Italian physicists.
Last year, we looked at an idea for a bacteria-powered motor dreamt up by Luca Angelani and pals from the University of Rome in Italy. Their idea was to place a cog with asymmetric teeth into a bath of moving bacteria and wait for them to start it spinning for you, like carthorses pushing a millstone.
We said at the time that the idea sounds a bit like extracting kinetic energy from the random motion of particles, which is impossible because the motion is symmetric in time.
But Angelani and co say there is in important difference between Brownian and bacterial motion: the former is in equilibrium but the latter is an open system with a net income of energy provided by nutrients. This breaks the time symmetry allowing energy to be extracted in the form of directed motion.

text: I apologize if this has been posted before but I actually looked but could not find anything on the forum for this topic. I have an 07 Ext and the keyfob does not work outside of the car but when I am inside the vehicle it does work. I have to use the key to unlock the door but once I am inside and push buttons on the fob it functions correctly. I replaced both fob batteries and still nothing. Does anyone know of a DIY fix, I just hate being at the mercy of dealerships after warranties expire.

Well, my hubby and I are TTC, I sure know all of this, I have 3 kids.. but this is odd. yesterday i started this dark brown spotting, no need for a pad, just only when i wiped. Today its still dark brown, but more of it, maybe even some dark red mixed in at times, but, nothing heavy at all. I am very nauseated, not sure why. I usually always have swollen and tender breasts before my period, but, i dont have that. We are talking a good 5 days before my period is actually suppose to be here.... What are your thoughts? thanks!! :))) Also, I took a test, its Negative.

Khan-Molina at the LA Sports Arena
By Miguel Maravilla
Los Angeles has hosted many great fights throughout the years and will continue its tradition of great fights when former world champion Amir "King" Khan (26-3, 18 KOs) takes on the undefeated Carlos Molina (17-0-1, 7 KOs) of Norwalk, California at the legendary Los Angeles Sports Arena. The bout will take place on December 15.
The Los Angeles Sports Arena hosted its first fight card on July 8, 1959, when Joe Becerra of Guadalajara, Mexico knocked out France's Alphonse Halimi for the world bantamweight title. Sugar Ray Robinson and Gene Fullmer fought to draw in December of 1960. Muhammad Ali and Archie Moore squared off in 1962. Other notable fights at the LA Sports Arena include Bobby Chacon vs. Danny "Little Red" Lopez, Roberto Duran vs. Pipino Cuevas. Roger Mayweather began his stint as the "Mexicutioner" in the 80's with wins over Mexican's Mauricio Aceves and Rodolfo Gonzalez at the Sports Arena. The last time boxing took place at the LA Sports Arena was in August of 2008 on the card that Karim Mayfield scored a first round TKO. The last championship fight to take place at the Sports Arena was a slugfest between Mexican sluggers Jose Luis Lopez and Yori Boy Campas as Lopez went on to win a fifth round TKO.

a place for zinesters - writers and readers
I e-mailed Joe Smith, publisher of the Aardvark and owner of Manual Publishing blog, November, 2009:
I wrote the following comment on your blog entry, November, about library closings. I tried to enter it in the comments text box, but there was this scroll down menu I was supposed select something from that I didn't understand. I tried various choices, but it kept saying I got it wrong in red. Not complaining, just explaining. My usual incompetence. Hope this is the right e-mail address. It's the only one I could find. Anyway, here's the comment. You're welcome to post it yourself if you want, but I won't hold it against you if you don't want to. I'm just trying to "support the scene".
I saw a segment on ABC News about how public libraries were going to start de-emphasizing paperbooks and offering free e-books. Like many an old-school bibliophile, this saddened me (and irked me, hearing Charlie Gibson's smug, mock sympathetic, final words on it). But then my "fair-minded" side thought, "Maybe I ought to try an e-book before I knock them."
I've never seen an e-book or an e-book reader. I guess they run on batteries, but given the slow, desultory way I read a book, would they run out and need recharging inconveniently often before I finished one? Would it be a frustrating and often confusing experience to try to read one, like the Internet often is for me? Like so many questions of paper vs. screen, it's hard to put my finger on my doubts about the latter. It seems like electronic/screen advocates always have a quick, easy and glib answer to any problem or concern I have about them.
I used to have a great fondness for libraries, but especially from browsing the ones I've visited recently, that fondness has all but died. For years most public libraries have been having a tendency to "cull" their old books for newer, trendier ones. It seems to me that the content has gotten so much shallower.
I may be as guilty of adding to the decline of the book industry as the e-book readers, since for decades, I've gotten about 90% of my books at library and yard sales and second-hand shops, ultra-cheap (many just 10 cents a piece, some even less). By doing this, I have many, many more books, very enticing ones, I'll be able to read in my lifetime, so if e-books kill the good-old paperback, I'll have a pretty good cushion for that sad event.
What I'd like to see more of is "private" libraries, not in the elitist or exclusivist sense, but in the sense of zine libraries and info-shops. Why can't we old-school bibliophiles and "retro" technology-admirers do with books, vinyl records, cassette tapes, 8-tracks, VHS video, etc. what's already being done with zines? I don't want to bug anybody by getting on my libertarian soapbox, but one hurdle such a strategy faces is the tight control government has,even at the local level, over "venue"---building codes, zoning, occupancy restrictions, etc., etc. How many times have we read about this, that or the other zine library or info-shop having to face the grinding task of re-locating because of the city-hall harrassment?
We bibliophiles (and respecters of all the "moribund" technology) just need to keep networking and figure out our own strategies to keep these good info/entertainment media alive. I've been trying to do just that, but maybe I could do better.
James N. Dawson
Both you and I, by using the Internet even at this moment, and you, right or wrong, necessary or not, with your involvement with on-line publishers, and your "shout-out" to visit you on "Twitter", with millions of others, over a period of 15 years, have been putting our 2 cents worth in, to chip, chip, chip away at paper publishing and distribution. What you, even I (although more out of being manipulated and maneuvered and bare necessity) have been doing, day after day after day, couldn't have resulted in anything other than the toppling of libraries.
There was a story on CBS News a few days ago on how e-books, now 9% of all books sold, have resulted in a record number of bookstore closings. If more and more people---are they mostly "youth"?---prefer e-books, then why blame callous old government for closing down libraries fewer and fewer and fewer people are using? Certainly at some point you've got to realize it comes down to hard economics. In socialist or mixed-economies, even the most generous budgets have to be balanced. Healthcare certainly would take priority over libraries.
I've been guilty myself. I have located a few important books in a couple of my local libraries I want to read, and at least one DVD I want to watch, and I hope to follow through and support them by checking them out, but as usual, maybe irrationally, I'm procrastinating on it.
I put an ad on Craigslist inquiring about old, storefronts at "rock bottom" rents, to possibly start my own alternative lending library, but so far, all I've got in response is spam from greedy, predatory scam artists, that seem to swarm the Net like so many disease-infested flies. It's a bit discouraging and depressing.
June's almost mindless response to you was all Greek to me and I don't think it made much sense anyway. I fail to see how "tweaking" the library system to conform to an Internetized society would work at all. If millions of titles can be stored in an e-book, and more and more people prefer e-books, then pragmatically, libraries as we know them, are destined to become irrelevant and obsolete. I wouldn't want her version of a "library" anyway. I think the abandonment of traditional books and libraries is a huge mistake, and it really disturbs me. But it's not callous government, it's shallow, superficial-thinking people, and these people seem pretty much unreachable.

Hi James,
I was in the printing game for more than 30 years and know above most others how technology has decimated the old regimes. I'm now trying to keep up with the electronic world -- an unreal world where all matters physical seemed to have drowned in there efforts to stay afloat. What I was indentured for, trained and worked for does no longer exist except for the remaining relics that you will find in a museum.
It would seem that the younger generation don't really appreciate what has gone before them and why should they? The problem is that there are remnants of the old world trying to survive this chip, chipping away as you describe and it highlights the legacies that have been left behind. I'm in full agreement with many people when they say you either use it or lose it. This applies to the way that libraries are being used today. However, it has always been the minority of people who use libraries so there is no change there. Apathy has always existed and it has been the hard core of users that have justified the existence of the library. Now that times are hard, local government is looking for the easiest ways to cut costs. My fight is to retain the status quo and not let the local politicians balance their books in other departments. In other words robbing Peter to pay Paul.
We all have our agendas. I think we're singing from the same hymn sheet, only language is getting in the way. I'm trying hard to ensure that libraries in the UK still have a place in this modern society. If things are balanced, there is a place for both ideals.

Does Super Bowl Math Add Up?
This year's Super Bowl at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., is predicted to bring a half a billion dollars to the New York and New Jersey region. But economists don't expect to see that kind of cash raining down on the Garden State.
"Well I don't know, first of all, if that number is real and I don't know where that number came from," said Secaucus Mayor Michael Gonnelli. "But I would say a good portion of that number is going to New York."
The estimate comes from the Super Bowl's NY/NJ Host Committee, but economic studies and past experience show Super Bowls rarely bring that kind of cash to a host city.
"When independent economists not working for the NFL and not working for the teams and the leagues have gone back and look at cities who have actually hosted the Super Bowl what people get are economic impacts ranging somewhere between say 30 and 120 million dollars," said Victor Matheson, an economics professor at the College of the Holy Cross. in Massachusetts. "So again not something you'd turn down but it's also a fraction of that $500 million claim the NFL is coming up with."
Part of the problem, Matheson says, is that when hotels fill up with tourists for one event, attendance for other events go down. He saw this in 2004 when New York hosted the Republican National Convention.
"Attendance of Broadway shows that week was actually down 20 percent compared to what it was weeks before and the year before at the same time," he said.
New Jersey Public Radio examined data from the 2011 Super Bowl in Dallas, which was played 21 miles east, in Arlington, Texas.
Sales tax revenue in Arlington – and even nearby Dallas and Fort Worth – saw a minimal rise. There was only one area where there was a large revenue increase: hotels.
"That's because when these events occur, the price of hotel rooms goes way up," said Philip Porter, an economist at the University of South Florida.
But extra hotel profits doesn't mean there's more money circulating in the local economy. The salaries of the front desk clerks and housekeeping staff stay flat, Porter says. And most hotel chains are headquartered elsewhere.
"So when the price goes up that doesn't help the local economy," he said.
Merchandise sales don't help the local economy either. New Jersey doesn't have a sales tax on clothing, and many licensed NFL vendors are not local, Porter said.
New Jersey also lost out when it came to the one of the Super Bowl's big money makers: the NFL Experience. That's a lucrative pop-up theme park that is usually situated close to the stadium in the days before the Super Bowl is played.
It was one of the key things even Gov. Chris Christie hoped to see in New Jersey when he discussed New Jersey's bid for the Super Bowl in 2010.
"If you look at the bid, which is now the blueprint for the host committee, there is significant activity going on in New Jersey," Christie said. "The party the night before the Super Bowl will be in Liberty State Park. The NFL Experience and the NFL Tailgate parties will be at the Izod Center and at the Meadowlands Track."
But the host committee, the corporate organizers of the Super Bowl, decided not to put the NFL Experience in New Jersey. Instead, a scaled down version is in midtown Manhattan.
That decision disappointed New Jersey mayors and businesses.
"Because if it were in New Jersey then less people would be apt to travel in New York City," said East Rutherford Mayor James Cassella. "If the NFL experience was situated in New Jersey they'd have a tendency to stay in New Jersey, be spending their money in New Jersey."

Two USC Librarians Tapped as ARL Leadership and Career Development Fellows
The Association of Research Libraries (ARL) has chosen the USC Libraries' Chimene Tucker and Melanee Vicedo as fellows in its 2013–2014 Leadership and Career Development Program. The USC Chronicle recently featured the news in its Family Matters section:
Turning the page toward leadership in libraries
USC librarians Chimene Tucker and Melanee Vicedo have been selected to participate in the Association of Research Libraries (ARL) Leadership and Career Development Program (LCDP) for 2013-14.
The LCDP is an 18-month program designed to prepare mid-career librarians from traditionally underrepresented racial and ethnic minority groups to take on increasingly demanding leadership roles in the ARL.
The program includes three institutes, a mentor relationship with an ARL director or senior staff member, research coaching and participation in other activities related to ARL's strategic directions.
Tucker's project will examine the literacy skills and competencies librarians are using and determine those that may need to be developed to support new multimedia research projects of students and faculty.
Vicedo's project will seek to determine the relevancy and use of library collections for students enrolled in the USC Master's in Social Work online program.
Check back with Libwire for more news about Tucker's and Vicedo's projects.

1. Re: Eclipse SVN. Adding a Repository URLgimbal2 Aug 2, 2012 8:19 AM (in response to 951750)Besides the fact that there is a perfectly fine Eclipse forum on the Eclipse website, you neglect to mention which version of Eclipse you're using, which variant of Eclipse you're using (standard, enterprise, ...) or which SVN plugin you're using. If you want to be helped take a little time to provide prudent information.
Now, you mention "repository exploring" so I guess you're talking about the perspective of the same name. There are multiple ways to get to Rome like usual, that is my favorite one too with pretty flowers and rocks along the way. And apart from that I can't say anything more - "on my system it works". I don't even know where that task repository tab is coming from, I don't see any view that matches the name. Perhaps you have some other plugin installed that is getting in your way. What I'd try is to go to the show view dialog and manually selecting SVN -> SVN repositories. That should open the repositories tab like you're used to.

Discussion in 'Pistons and NBA' started by Slippy, Jul 10, 2009.
He has been very impressive.
Free is always the best kind of anything!! Thanks for the link.
Deron with the hottest block of the day!!
Deron Washington is stupid athletic! A couple follow up dunks and a sick block on the break... wow
Daye has a sweet stroke. Summers looks like he can get 10 minutes a game this season.
They had a pretty good game. I got the feed in the 3rd quarter, so i missed the first half. Looks like Day, Summers, and Jonas all had good games.
As much as it's just Summer League gotta remeber Stuckey made a good impression his rooki uear in Summer League. I liked the Dajuan Summers pick and think he might the "Steal" of the draft....at least I hope so !!
I think Summers & Daye should get 10+ MPG next year. It's not like we're going to the finals. Let's see what they can do now!
Deron Washington looks like he plays PF out there...I like his game
Washington 4-12 from the line, he needs to work on that.
Washington-Summers-Daye shining brightly in Detroit?
Game 2 Recap Detroit Pistons Summer League: Game Two Recap BleacherReport.Com "Game two for the Detroit Pistons in the Las Vegas Summer league came down to the last couple of possessions. Dajuan Summers sealed the game with two clutch free throws with 4.7 seconds remaining giving the Pistons a 91-87 win over the Toronto Raptors. Summers had another good game to go along with his player of the game performance in game one. He finished the game with 19 points and six rebounds, going 7-17 from the field and 1-4 beyond the arc. He flashed some strong play-making ability beating coverage along the baseline multiple times, finishing with reverse lay-ups. He also had a powerful dunk courtesy of an assist by Austin Daye halfway through the first quarter. Daye had the best Piston performance of the afternoon, finishing with 19 points, eight rebounds, while going 8-14 from the field and 2-4 from the three point line. One of those treys was from deep downtown to, this kid has some serious range. Daye was also a pest on defense altering a number of shots with his crazy long arms. Although he wasn't credited with a block he certainly made his presence known." Detroit Pistons Summer League: Game Two Recap | Bleacher Report
Re: Game 2 Recap He definitely had at least one block, if not two. One of those was clearly a block.
Box score: NBA.com 2009 NBA Summer League Game Boxscore D. Washington 4-12 at the FT line.
Re: Game 2 Recap I hope they don't rip him off in the stats department like they did to Darko and Amir....
Why aren't these stupid coaches playing Trent Plaisted more? I guess they don't like stopping the pick & roll! He would have had 16 points, 20 boards and 4 blocks if he played the full 48.
Thanks for the link!
Hate to say it but Trent Plaisted will never make the team.
Hate to say it but Trent Plaisted might just make the team
Jerebko with 8 PF's in only 20 some minutes? He's supposed to be a good defender too. They need to call these games more like real NBA games.
Separate names with a comma.

Borderline gay of you to focus in on my crotch so hard? I said that because it was a good deal, I'm not into "brand names", I'm into what I like. I had a lot of youtubers ask me about the fleece, and I know I would get a lot of question about it so I tried to shed as much light on it as I could. I'm not a "hey I look at my in my Js (or whatever else)" type of person.. Most people don't even know I collect sneakers.
Ya don't say. That seems funny coming from a dude who goes on to say:
Really, huh. Tell us more.
BTW, your little horsey TJ Maxx joints - yeah, in the Polo universe, those don't count. Sorry.
Oh, yes. Indeed.
BTW, if you earn an "hourly wage" then maybe you should fall back, huh? Stay in school, maybe one day you'll earn a SALARY.
I think it may be time to try again with a new screename.
Anybody who has to claim they are a grown man is most likely not one.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
At the crossroads of Asia and Africa, Ethiopia took the best of what the old spice routes from the East had to offer and applied it to the local foodstuffs. The result was a hearty array of meats, legumes, and vegetables suffused with complex but delicate flavorings. And the unique injera bread doubles as a utensil, making dinner as fun as it is tasty. Sheba is a little more upscale than the average Ethiopian restaurant you might find in Washington, D.C. or Los Angeles, but it isn't a typical Ethiopian place, either. Several of its more "exotic" dishes work the flavors of the Mediterranean and West Africa into the mix, giving the restaurant a more extensive and interesting menu. The best introduction to the cuisine is one of the sampler platters for two ($46 to $56) or the doro wat ($21), the national dish of Ethiopia. Vegetarians have a number of delicious options that cost between $12 and $16. Meat platters are a little pricier ($20 to $25). Sheba is also more than just a restaurant: An adjoining gallery fits very well into the Design District's art appeal.
Remember that trip to Buenos Aires? There was supposed to be tango dancing until dawn and a smoky-eyed lover. Instead you tripped over your own feet and got fat eating alfajores. Now that you're back in Miami, the porteños are gone, but there are still alfajores. Buenos Aires Bakery offers three kinds of the cookie and dulce de leche sandwich at $2 a pop: dark chocolate, white chocolate, and maizena. The cookies are moist and the Argentine caramel perfectly gooey. Take a bite, make peace with your chubbiness, and daydream about the Paris of South America.
Argentine steaks are revered not because of how they're cooked, but because the meat is incredible. The cattle roam the fertile pastures of the pampas and are never forced to exert themselves (because exercise makes the meat tougher). They are carted around the country in train cars. This special treatment produces beef that melts when it hits your tongue and is unrivaled in tenderness and flavor.
But until just last year, the USDA — out of protectionism and semi-legitimate fears of hoof and mouth disease — banned the import of Argentine beef. Now that it can again be imported, you don't want to go to some fancy Argentine steak house and have them jack up the price on you just for cooking the meat. That's where Estancia Argentina comes in. It's a Miami-based chain owned by Buenos Aires transplants, with locations in Aventura, Coral Gables, Kendall, and Miramar. It's half restaurant, half market, and all good. The empanadas ($1.55) and sandwiches ($8) are delicious, made fresh with quality ingredients. The walls are lined with bottles of wine, so you can buy a Malbec and drink it with your meal. The meat counter is to drool over, with all sorts of Argentine beef cuts, cheeses, chorizos, and chimichurris. They also have great desserts ($1 to $5). The place is always packed with Spanish speakers enjoying a cup of vino or guarana soda with meaty skirt steak or prosciutto and mozzarella sandwiches. Join them.
There's no Brie, quail eggs, or diced jalapeños baked into the dough of the bagels at this Kendall joint. Nor is there any caviar-infused shmear or exotic fruit toppings shipped from some remote village in the heart of the Amazon. That's because The Bagel Express, a non-descript delicatessen squeezed into a small, suburban strip mall, simply makes great bagels. There's greatness in the first bite. And the second. And the thirtieth.
Made from scratch and baked fresh daily, the bagels here are classics — pumpernickel, sesame, egg, poppy seed, garlic, salt, cinnamon, plain, and everything. The price: $6.60 for six and $11.95 for a baker's dozen. For the carb-conscious, there's also whole wheat and eight-grain available with your choice of regular or low-fat cream cheese (plain, chive, vegetable, strawberry, and honey walnut) for $2.75 a pop. Speaking of pop, The Bagel Express has Dr. Brown sodas (diet and regular). Then there's fresh, hand-sliced Nova lox for $7.99 per quarter pound and delicious, buttery rugelach for $10.95 a platter.
Still not convinced? Oy vey! Then swing on in after the morning rush and try a Boar's Head deli sandwich served in a large woven basket with your choice of bagel, for $7.95. While you're there — now don't get all verklempt — ponder this: Although a bagel topped with Alba white truffle cream cheese and goji berry-infused Riesling jelly sounds superb, it'll run you $1,000 at the Westin Hotel in Times Square. But these tasty bites in Kendall will cost you a mere $1.25 each. Enjoy!
If great bread is the staff of life, all of us here in South Florida are living on borrowed time, eating mushy, pallid, tasteless loaves made from ultrarefined flour that no self-respecting Parisian or Italian would use for a doorstop. But thankfully, for those special occasions, we have La Provence, where you can get a proper baguette ($2) or crusty loaf of sourdough ($2.25) or hunk of multigrain ($4.35). But man (and woman) doesn't live by bread alone, so if you're hungry for a light, flaky croissant; luscious Danish, fruit tart, or cheesecake; even savory quiches or empanadas, La Provence has you covered there too. Just no doorstops.
For more than nine years, Aziza Yuself has made Varanda's a place where Brazilians can savor authentic cuisine. That's why the low-key eatery draws so many of the Brazilian expatriates residing in North Beach, who can watch Brazilian television and have long conversations in Portuguese while dining on exceptionally good food, especially the muqueca de peixe, fish perfectly simmered in a coconut sauce ($14.95). Meat lovers will enjoy the picadinho ao mohlo, beef strips in a delicious hot sauce, for $10.95, or the frango ao mohlo curry, curry chicken in coconut sauce for $13.95. For many folks, Varanda's is a home away from home, but even if you're not from São Paulo, you can drop by too.


text: As title, i need to start improving my art so now i have got Photoshop i need a tablet to create professional concepts and textures. I assume i wouldn't need a tablet over £50 ($80)? At least i hope that is the case. So i guess i should ask whether or not purchasing a Wacom Bamboo would suffice? Also any recommended tablet with stand would be a plus.

Thank you and yes I hope they stay up... And it's a girl..!!
awesome looking dog, bro! but this is like the 5th thread for the same dog in a week and a half. you're allowed to bump a thread with new pics to keep the internet less cluttered. no offense, just sayin'.
1st of all I'm a lady so the bro thing...ya no.
2nd what does it matter how many times I post to you??
3rd don't open my threads then!!!
2, it creates congestion and clogs the board. nobody starts 5 new threads a week for their same dog, fishtank, crossbow, trampoline septic tank or whatever the forum is about. if everybody did that it would lessen the pleasure of the internet
3, i'n new here so haven't memorized everyone's username yet. i have started to memorize the thread titles. you keep making new ones and tricking me. that's my fault. something tells me i will remember you now.
i love your dog though and again no offense! i'm just honest!
Actually when someone comments it's puts it back at the top.. I did not keep posting

Cutting emissions by drug industry is crucial to reducing NHS's carbon footprintBMJ 2012; 345 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.e8243 (Published 03 December 2012) Cite this as: BMJ 2012;345:e8243

Two thirds of the total greenhouse gas emissions accounted for by the NHS in England come from sources not directly controlled by the NHS: drugs, medical devices, business services, and manufactured products have a far larger "carbon footprint" than do hospitals, ambulances, or catering. Drugs alone account for more than 20% of total emissions and devices another 8%.
The figures make it clear that the drug and medical device industry is important if the NHS as a whole is to reduce its impact on the environment. New guidelines (http://bit.ly/XhJVGn), just published by Environmental Resources Management, a leading consultancy in international sustainability, provide a systematic way of working out the greenhouse gas emissions for drugs and medical products, as a conference held …

Lodi High School roared into the fourth quarter looking forward to many academic and extra-curricular events. State testing occurs next week, and we are optimistic about reaching 800 as the school's API score. As well, Advancement Placement Testing is set to occur from May 7-18. It is hard to overstate the pride we have for the students and staff who have worked so hard to make Lodi High a regional standout for comprehensive high schools.
On the extra-curricular front, several things are forthcoming. The annual blood drive will be held on April 11. For the first time, student government is hosting a 3-on-3 basketball tournament on April 27 at 5:30 p.m. The annual Lodi Idol Singing/Talent Competition will take place on Wednesday, April 25.
April is Distracted Driver Awareness Month. With this in mind, Lodi High School Student Government and Friday Night Live will hold an assembly and lunchtime activities to bring attention to this timely issue.
No school year is complete without prom and graduation. This year, prom will be held on April 28 at Hutchins Street Square. Prom will begin at 8 p.m.
With graduation nearing, the staff is busy preparing to mark this important rite of passage. This year, graduation takes place on Thursday, May 24 at 7 p.m. As always, the Grape Bowl will play host to this celebration.

First off I'd like to say thank you to everyone for the support and advice given thus far. I did go ahead and educate myself on the Texas Lemon Law and it's process before the second time that I contacted the CSM at Ford just so I knew where I stood as far as options.

Did you watch the video that I linked? My Ranger would only make a sound resembling that if i didn't press the clutch in all the way. This sound is horrible and can at times last 3 seconds or longer, a few times I've heard it continue throughout the gear into the 2-3 gear shift.
The stuttering during first gear feels like what a normal automatic feels like when the transmission is slipping, and has only been present since the 12B37 update. Just thought I'd add that in.
I hear most people saying to start the lemon law process, and I appreciate all the links I've been given and will be following up on them. If anyone has more to add I'm listening, and I'm going to make a decision on what to do by tomorrow most likely. I was thinking of coming to the Ford CSM with options like replacing the car with a used Focus with close to the same miles and a manual transmission, or filing the lemon law paperwork, and see what she has to say. Any thoughts on that?

UPDATE 1-Protesters ransack government buildings in Guinea smelting town
(Adds comment from RUSAL spokeswoman)
CONAKRY Feb 26 (Reuters) - Protesters angered by the death of a young man in police custody ransacked a police station and government buildings in Guinea's main aluminium smelting town on Wednesday, local residents said.
Work at Russian aluminium giant RUSAL's Friguia refinery has been suspended since April 2012, hitting household incomes hard and aggravating social unrest in the town of Fria, 160 km (99 miles) north of the capital Conakry.
Protesters threw stones and burned tyres in the town's streets, before attacking the police station.
"The municipal police station is looted. The youth are in the streets showing their anger after the death of their friend," Fria resident Mamadou Gueye told Reuters.
"The few gendarmes and police officers who were on duty have fled the city," he said.
It was unclear why the young man had been taken into custody by the police. But town residents told Reuters he had been beaten to death.
Government officials did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment.
"There are no authorities right now. We're not seeing the mayor or the prefect ... no one," said a second Fria resident, who asked not to be named. Continuación...

Sharepoint: Shared Documents
Shared Documents allow a department to collaborate on documents. It's also possible to have versioning associated with a file so that it is possible to rollback to an earlier version if necessary.
Create Document Library
For a document to be stored in Sharepoint, a library for those documents needs to be created.
- From the Site Actions menu, click on New Document Library
- You will then asked to name the Document Library, and answer some questions about it:
- Navigation: If you like this Document Library to appear in the left-hand menu, then select "Yes"
- Document Version History: If you would like to switch on version history on any document uploaded to this library, select "Yes". For space reasons, the default for this option is "No" as not all people need versioning.
- Document Template: You can upload any kind of document to the library. However, if you create a document from scratch in the library, then this is the type that will be created. If in doubt, keep the default option.
- Click on Create. You will then be taken to your document library.
Adding a File to your Document Library
- From within the Document Library click on the Add Document button at the bottom of the list of all the docs.
- You can then upload a document from your local computer to the Sharepoint site.
- The document will appear in the Document Library instantly.
Editing a Document in Sharepoint
For best results, you should be accessing this Sharepoint site with Internet Explorer. Other browsers will work, but possibly not as smoothly.
- To edit a document on Sharepoint, first click on the Document name.
- You will then be given the option to open the document in Read-Only mode, or with the ability to edit it. Select your option (probably "edit") and then click on OK.
- You will then be able to edit the document. Whenever you save the document, the new version will be automatically uploaded to the Sharepoint site.
Assigning unique permissions to individual documents
It is possible to assign unique permissions to individual documents and folders within the Shared Docs library. This will lock them down so that only specified people will be able to view and edit the documents. This can be useful if you would like to use a Document Library to store leave records.
