What's the Real Story Behind the Popular Soft Drink Coca-Cola?
Nothing could be more American than sitting down with your friends, in a restaurant or during the big game, and enjoying a great big glass of Coca-Cola, right? Coca-Cola means Santa Claus, family outings and summertime fun… in other words, pure Americana.
So, what does Coca-Cola have to do with America's war on drugs?

Where Does the Phrase 'Paint the Town Red' Come From?

Freaked About Perishing In a Natural Disaster? Here's the Real Story

Braised Short Ribs with Celery-Root Pancakes
Executive chef Jeff Armstrong's braised short ribs are a big seller at 17 at the Sam Houston Hotel in Houston. That's good news for the restaurant—short ribs are an inexpensive cut, so profit margins are high—and good news for anyone interested in trying Marcia Kiesel's adaptation. We braise the meat until it's fork-tender and succulent, then pair it with crisp celery-root pancakes and soft, buttery cipollini onions.
Slideshow: Affordable Meat Recipes
- Active:
- Total Time:
- Servings: 4
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 5 1/2 pounds beef short ribs (8 ribs), trimmed of excess fat
- Salt and freshly ground pepper
- 8 large garlic cloves, chopped
- 1 medium carrot, thinly sliced
- 1 medium onion, coarsely chopped
- 1 medium celery rib, thinly sliced crosswise
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup dry red wine
- 2 cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick, broken in half
- 1 bay leaf
- 5 cups water
- 3/4 pound cipollini onions (about 20), peeled
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- Celery-Root Pancakes
How to make this recipe
Preheat the oven to 325°. In a medium roasting pan, heat the vegetable oil. Season the ribs with salt and pepper and cook over moderately high heat until browned on both sides, about 10 minutes. Transfer the ribs to a large bowl. Add the garlic, carrot, onion and celery to the roasting pan and cook over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Add the tomato paste and cook, stirring, until glossy, about 1 minute. Add the red wine and boil over high heat until reduced by half, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, about 4 minutes. Add the cloves, cinnamon stick, bay leaf and water and bring to a boil. Return the ribs to the pan and simmer for 1 minute. Remove from the heat.
Cover the ribs with a sheet of parchment paper, then cover with foil. Bake until the short ribs are very tender, about 2 hours. Let the ribs cool slightly.
Skim the fat from the surface of the ribs, then transfer the ribs to a large bowl. Strain the pan sauce into a medium saucepan and skim off the fat. Boil the pan sauce over high heat until reduced to 1 1/2 cups, about 12 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Return the ribs to the roasting pan, pour the sauce on top and keep hot over low heat.
Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan of boiling salted water, cook the cipollini until just tender, about 10 minutes; drain well.
In a medium skillet, melt the butter. Add the cipollini, season with salt and pepper and cook over moderate heat until nicely browned, about 8 minutes.
Transfer the short ribs to plates and spoon the cipollini alongside. Spoon the sauce over the ribs and serve, passing the Celery-Root Pancakes at the table.
Suggested Pairing
Look to France's Rhône region for a Gigondas.

Listen, AF is at my house. I am doing my best to lock her up in the closet. If I can, I will keep her away from those of you who still have a chance.
43 w/Emphysema - TTC from 2005 - 2013. 2 miscarriages in 2008. Good things do not come to those who wait.
Like the curious headcase I am... having already pinpointed likely ovulation in july of next year and already planning a wedding date accordingly
I then went to find out what my due date would be if successful.
It would be end of March 2011.
One month before easter. If we concieve our second month trying... our due date would be easter.
Count me as crazy too, and proud of it! I had decided before I O'd that I was going to conceive on the full moon. Well, it looks like I came really really close (the moon was mostly full )...
bfp (there was an even fainter test on the morning of 13dpo, but my urine was very diluted)
I've gone from shock to complete anxiety in the last three days. I've been so focused on getting pregnant again, but I really had myself convinced it wouldn't happen. I didn't realize how worried I would be about another miscarriage. I think the fact that I have no real symptoms is making me skeptical, but the tests are reassuring. Hopefully I'll feel better after my doctor appt. later this week. I've been afraid to post here, but I guess no matter what happens, I am pregnant right now!
please please stick... : DH is already glowing... I love him so much....
bananabee... If you're sure of your O date, I'd call the doctor and see what they say! :
Oh and as far as FF's fertility points, they're a load of crap! They gave me a high of 41, but as the days went on and I added my "symptoms" such as cramps and skin breakout, they reduced my points! Even though I'm pregnant, I only have 39 points. I've read about lots of people who had tons of points, but then AF came. They shouldn't tease people like that. :
Hello ladies!! Good morning to all!! I hope everyone is having a great morning!
banana Wow...that chart is just crazy!! I really hope that you can figure things out soon. I hope it is a BFP for you!! it just stinks being in limbo!! Best of luck!!
AFM, ...I am not being very optimistic today though...back to feeling like it is never really going to happen anyway. I hate that feeling. It has only been 5 cycles for me so...why do I feel this way. I get so mad about it like you keep doing the same thing over and over with no result. It's so discouraging! I know I said I want to be positive and calm. I guess that isn't happening, at least not today anyway. I try to remember that it will happen when it's meant to but, that just doesn't seem like enough! WTH??? Do you guys feel like this?
Anyway, sorry about the rant/pity party for myself...I just can't help it...I just want this to happen already!! I hope you all have a great and happy day though!! Good luck and lots of to all!!
CONGRATS, Lucy!!!
Ok...so I had a .2 drop in temp this morning and am hoping it has something to do with implantation. I've had a constant headache all day yesterday and today for no apparent reason. I took 6 Tylenol yesterday and 3 more this morning but it doesn't seem to ever go away completely. No other "symptoms" as of yet though! I'm hoping to see my temp shoot high in the morning. :
I know my cycle will be thrown off around March, but not for stress but from such excitement it will stress out my body (that's when he comes home)
But I can still dream ^_^
Banana... Im thinking you didnt O when FF says you did, Im thinking you Oed up to a week later (your temps point to that as a very good possibility) I think cd 22 or cd 25 are both good possibilities... I know you didnt record any EWCM then... but it seems a lot of us are oing lately when we had (or recorded) no ewcm.
DS (03/10) & DD (06/07) both were/are :
Hi all,
I had some questions that kind of got lost in all the new news. HUGS to the BFPS and more HUGS for the BFNS.
- Why does FF seem to arbitrarily change your O date? What causes it to do that?
- How soon after conception do your temps go up?
Just want to keep an eye out for any change in my chart. Even tho it's a frustrating rollercoaster right now, LOL.
- Does my chart make any kind of sense to anyone? I'm just asking cause I haev no idea what its trying to tell me

Not sure if this will help, but are you drinking enough water? dehydration can give a nasty headache. Do you sit at a desk all day like I do? I get up a few times a day and do stretches. Yes, people look at me strangely, but my headaches are few and far between now. I hope you feel better soon.
als, a tiny bit of caffeine might help... like a cup of tea. it opens up the capillaries (sp?) and is the active ingredient in excedrin...
Thanks, LZP! I am drinking enough water. I keep a bottle at my desk, but yesterday I was off and it started when I was just sitting around doing nothing around 10 am. I had a cup of coffee around 8:30 so I had my caffeine for the day. After the Tylenol didn't work I did drink a Mtn Dew in the afternoon but even that didn't work. I thought maybe the heat was causing it since it's so hot here but it doesn't make sense since I was just loafing around and actually using a blanket on the couch since the fan above me was making me cold.
This morning the headache is back even after my morning cup of coffee again. I'm even feeling a little queasy and hot now, so maybe I'm just getting sick or am allowing my mind to go crazy with the possibilities. I'm not doing anything differently, so I don't know what may be causing it other than a possible pregnancy or the heat...more than likely the heat.
Even temping at different times you can get a reliable idea of what is going on as long as its always after a minimum of 3 hours sleep. Yes, FF wants you to temp at the same time every single day but women who are already moms cannot do that. Ive temped anywhere from 4am to 7am in the months past and still get a very clear picture of how my chart moves.
And not every woman gets triphasic, as Ive said, so do not rely on that as a sign that you either are or are not pregnant... because I had a triphasic chart last month and I am most certainly not pregnant. But I see ton of pregnant ladies on this site without triphasic charts.
Congratulations Lucy! Many sticky vibes to you! :
LZP - It sounds like you have a stressful weekend ahead of you! It really probably is a blessing in disguise since it will certainly get your mind off of things. I think, if it were me, I think I would try not to test on Saturday... It will only be 7ish DPO, right? If it was a BFN, I think it would just depress me for the party, and if it was a BFP, I think it might be a little awkward with the house guests... Does that make any sense? I have a feeling I would want to go around the house beaming, but that would certainly raise some eyebrows lol. I think it would also be hard not to tell people if they were all there that day.
I'm doing a terrible job of convincing myself it's not pregnancy related. It my temps jumps up in the morning I will probably go ahead and test. If it stays the same or drops lower I will wait til around Friday.
Your chart makes sense to me. It says you havent Oed yet and probably will be today or within the next few days if you're not checking your cm. (but of course I could be wrong)

Home > News & Events > News > Alumni Stories > HKS Graduates Recognized as Young Leaders on Foreign Policy
Five Harvard Kennedy School alumnae are being recognized as young movers and shakers in the world of international affairs.
Taufiq Rahim MPP 2008, Sabrina Roshan MPP 2010, Molly Kinder MPP 2008, Candace (Chin) Yu MPP 2008 and Eric Maltzer MPP 2007 were all included on the list of the "Top 99 Under 33 Foreign Policy Leaders" by Diplomatic Courier magazine
The "99 Under 33" project was launched in 2011 with the intent of capturing the impact of 99 leaders under the age of 33.
"This list is broad and diverse, encompassing attorneys, financiers, technologists, journalists, bankers, activists, and scientists—as well as diplomats, soldiers, and other government officials," according to the magazine. "This reflects our belief that foreign policy in the 21st century is made by leaders from all sectors."
Taufiq Rahim is a political analyst based in Dubai and the director of Globesight, which advises international and non-profit organizations in the Middle East & North Africa on strategy.
"While I am grateful to be recognized on this list, I have to say that I am consistently amazed by my fellow classmates, many of whom remain unrecognized, who barely four years after graduating, are making remarkable contributions in so many geographies around the world," said Rahim.
Sabrina Roshan works in the World Bank's Africa Region Poverty Reduction and Economic Management unit, where she focuses on gender disaggregated impact evaluations, portfolio management, and related economic and sector work.
"I am also keenly aware that there are countless others, both in my cohort of HKS alums and elsewhere, who are doing just as much if not more to 'change the world,' who I share this recognition with," said Roshan.
Eric Maltzer is a Foreign Affairs Officer in the State Department's climate change office.
"It's a huge honor to be recognized on a list like this one, but it's also humbling; there are young authors and CEOs and disruptive innovators out there who are making an impact on their own terms, and I can't help but be in awe of them," said Maltzer.
Candace Yu builds strategic alliances among diverse stakeholders to advance foreign policy. As an Obama Administration appointee at the Department of Defense, Yu has advised on technology issues – primarily cybersecurity and internet governance.
"I am humbled to receive recognition for my work - for doing what I enjoy - and believe it's a broader reflection on the incredible teams that I've worked with and mentors who advised me early in my career," said Yu.
Molly Kinder serves as ONE International's Director for Agriculture and European policy.
The "Top 99 Under 33 Leaders" will be profiled in the fall print and online editions of the Diplomatic Courier, on the Young Professionals in Foreign Policy, and in a series of events throughout the year.
Taufiq Rahim MPP 2008, director of Globesight
"While I am grateful to be recognized on this list, I have to say that I am consistently amazed by my fellow classmates, many of whom remain unrecognized," said Rahim.

Hehehe!!!! The Tag Game is still around and I got tagged by KC.
The rules: Each player starts with seven random facts about themselves. Cats who are tagged need to write in their own diary about the seven things and the rules. You need to choose seven cats to tag and list their names. Don't forget to leave them a comment that they have been tagged and to read your diary.
1. I am very talkative. I make sure you know what I'm thinking. I also use my tail to communicate (even though my Humans are still figuring out what I'm talking about).
2. My humans are keeping all of my five 13week old babies. I love my babies but sometimes they get on my nerves. Especially when they still want to nurse.
3. I absolutely LOVE the sound of a can of food opening.
4. I used to live outside. I was a wild cat and my favorite spot was up in the rafters in the storage shed. I could plan my day up there.
5. Now my favorite spot is on a fluffy blanket next to my human's bed.
6. My HuMom says I have a cute cat butt. My HuMom is funny.
7. I secretly have a crush on Mulligan. He is the 10 year old golden retriever that lives here. When I first came in the house I didn't like Mulligan but now I think he is a big sweetie and I have wallered around in his tail feathers.
The 7 kitties who I'm tagging are:
1. Miss Little
2. Midnight
3. Frosty
4. Luke Skywalker
5. Tobber
6. Skittles
7. Hunter Noel

Yep, I THINK I am going to find a new home tonight!! I was put on the websie for North West Animal Companions, and I quickly became the most requested dog!! There are 2 families that seem like great fits for me, and now I just have to meet them and see which one it will be!!
I had a bath today, and Mommy will brush me in a little while, and then I have to put on my best smile! I am very excited about my interviews, but I am also very nervous about it!!
Wish me luck!! I hope in my next entry I can tell you all about my new home!!
I was rescued from the Humane Society last Thursday. Mommy went in to look and see what they had that they were saying was "unadoptable". I was lucky enough to be in that group!! Yep, LUCKY enough is exactly what I meant to say!
You see, I was so badly infested with fleas that I made my vet GASP in horror at the sight! THAT threw Mommy for a loop until he told her WHY he gasped!! He said I was the worst case of fleas he has seen since he was in SoCal where the fleas prosper all year round!
Well with a Capstar pill and a good flea dip, the fleas were MOSTLY dead. Mommy and Daddy took care of the rest with a dose of Advantage later that night. I am now flea free and proud!
I was very matted and nasty, even after a good long bath. Daddy took the clippers to me and got rid of a lot of that. I had a big old tuft of hair on the top of my head that made me look like the Fraggle Rock Muppets! Daddy didn't hear Mommy tell him not to cut it off, so it went into the pile of matted hair!!
It is a darn good thing I am still SO CUTE!! Now all I need is for someone to take me home and love me furever!! I know it will happen, EVERYONE seems to fall in love with me, but they can't take me because they have too many dogs already!!

Like its predecessor, the KE850 Prada, LG's second Prada-branded handset is gloriously sleek, round-cornered and modern. It has a touch-screen front, complemented by a metallic slide-out QWERTY keyboard.
The navigation menus are intuitive and the phone boasts one of the best touch-screens around. Typing emails are a breeze on the intelligently designed QWERTY, which keeps all the right keys and relegates the rest to secondary menus.
Five-megapixel camera, video recording with secondary camera for video calls, and a comprehensive editing suite. But the lack of GPS makes this a mid-range device in a time where applications are all buzzing around location-based services. Though the KF900 has Wi-Fi and dual-band HSDPA connectivity, internet and email are patchy, and we wouldn't recommend this phone as a dedicated internet device.
LG's proprietary operating systems runs smoothly and lags were rare, though the phone faltered in the messaging menus when the text inbox was full. The camera produces incredibly crisp, clear shots in good lighting, while the video camera shoots in TV-quality. Slot in a 16GB memory card and this phone would make a good all-in-one gadget.
The battery drained like it was going out of style when the phone went online. Even with only 2G use, talk-time wasn't more than a few hours.
Lack of GPS is a deal-breaker for us, but LG has improved on the KE850 by jazzing up the OS, creating a near-perfect touch-screen and packing in some serious power for a fashion-phone that almost straddles the business market.

Look and feel
Ease of use
Battery life
Excellent entertainment features in camera, video and editing suites; superb touch-screen; smooth user interface.
Patchy internet and email experience; lags in menu loading as memory is used up; lack of GPS prevents it from being a real ?high-end? device.
LG's second Prada phone, the Prada KF900, is as smart as it is stylish, though a lack of GPS makes it a mid-range device with a high-end price tag
The second Prada handset from electronics giant LG is more than just a pretty face, with some serious power packed into its sleek, shiny casing.
Boasting a three-inch touch-screen with 240x400 pixels, the LG KF900 Prada also features a snazzy slide-out QWERTY keyboard, five-megapixel camera with auto-focus and video calling, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and dual-band HSDPA connectivity. The entertainment suite is excellent as well, with not just image and video recording, but comprehensive editing apps too.
GPS is about the only missing feature, leaving it just short of the major leagues, where phones like Nokia's Nseries and the HTC Touch range can be found.
The KF900 is an advancement on the last Prada-LG collaboration – the KE850 was a touch-screen with a less user-friendly interface, no Wi-Fi or 3G connectivity, and frequent lags in its operating system. LG has improved on all these issues, without losing any of the aesthetic touches that made its predecessor top of the fashion phone stakes.
Smooth User Interface
The intuitive user interface (UI) was the first thing that struck us about the LG Prada KF900. The proprietary UI looks complicated because the navigation menus are tabbed in grid form – four tabs, comprising communication, entertainment, utilities and settings, are home to eight icons each – but all handily labelled so it's easy to work out. There is a choice of three home screens – wallpaper, which can be any image on the phone, a customisable shortcut screen that can hold up to nine shortcuts, and a third window to which you can add memo, calendar, appointment and world clock widgets. What's more, you can easily move between these three screens by swiping across the screen to 'rotate' to the next one. It's slick, simple and very iPhone-esque. We were really impressed with the touch-screen as well, which responded perfectly to our commands, and vibrates gently for satisfying haptic feedback. Though not multi-touch, the screen does recognise different pressures. For example, swiping actions scroll the screen, pressing down unlocks the phone, and simple light touches select icons. An accelerometer means the phone can load screens (including the browser) in both portrait and landscape orientations, and it automatically switches to landscape when the QWERTY keyboard slides out. Unfortunately, an otherwise streamlined user experience is marred by slow load times when the phone's pitiful 60MB of on-board memory is taken up with text messages, pictures and other shrapnel of phone usage. This was especially noticeable in the message menus.
However, one nice touch is that you can choose to view messages in 'threaded' form, where all messages from a contact are saved together with your replies. Yes, just like the iPhone.
Flawed internet experience
The Prada's three-inch display is clear and crisp, and while it has dual-band HSDPA support, browsing isn't as fast as you would imagine. The full HTML browser should allow it to access any page on the web, but our review model had trouble with sites that weren't mobile optimised, particularly when it came to processing embedded links.However, we had no trouble with popular sites that did have mobile versions, such as Facebook, Hotmail, and certain blogs. The KF900 had no problem loading images at all, and even image-rich sites loaded within five seconds. The touch-screen worked perfectly as a trackpad substitute; scrolling up, down and sideways was a breeze. The browser's address bar disappears when not in use, so to retrieve, you need to tap the top or bottom edges of the screen. But the touch-screen proved over-sensitive here, causing us to call up the address bar unintentionally.
Email setup is straightforward, with a wizard that prompts you through the process – we easily added a Gmail account as well as our work account. The QWERTY keyboard is intelligently designed to include the most used characters, relegating the rest to secondary menus.
But the email function is nowhere near as well integrated as on dedicated handsets like the BlackBerry line. Our main quibble was with the menu load times – it took at least 10 seconds to load the inbox, and another 10 seconds to open an email. This is a pity, because with apps like the document viewer and the ability to email attachments, this wouldn't be a bad business phone.
Camera, music and action
One of the best features of this phone is its camera and video. The camera boasts five megapixels, a flash, auto-focus and a video-calling function, as well as a comprehensive editing suite that includes filters, cropping, and cutesy adjustments like adding text, speech bubbles and butterfly stamps to your images.
Pictures taken in daylight came out with incredible clarity, at a high enough resolution for printing, but unfortunately it wasn't great in low light.
A cool addition is the so-called Muvee Studio, which creates a slide show of up to 15 images, complete with fades and soundtrack (there is a pre-loaded list of tracks that can also be added).
Once you've taken a picture, a toolbar pops up with options to send the image via MMS, email, or Bluetooth, or set it as wallpaper, which is intuitive and intelligently designed.
The same goes for video, which records at a DVD-quality 30fps, and at a resolution of 720x480 pixels. All video and photos are stored in the Gallery, where a series of iPhone-like swipes scrolls through them all.
We can't get past the lack of GPS though. It's now almost standard for phones to come with a great camera, music player and entertainment options, and with so many companies focusing on location-based services, a phone without sat nav capability in 2009 sits well and truly within the mid-range category. Even if it does look sexy.
The verdict
The LG Prada KF900 is a great entertainment phone, and we'd pick it up for the excellent camera and video alone. As a smartphone, the internet and email experience is a bit too patchy to really stand up to feature-full devices like the Nokia N96, HTC Touch Pro or indeed, the iPhone, whose footsteps it has followed in design and UI. The lack of GPS is also a definite drawback, especially considering the hefty price tag.
But we're won over by its smooth-running software and excellent hardware. The phone looks and feels great, its QWERTY is intelligently designed for optimal typing and navigation is streamlined and intuitive.
This handset definitely ticks enough boxes to be far more than another designer-branded fashion phone, and puts LG with the pack leaders in
touch-screen technology.

Here's what i'm doing: Code: float movex = ((SIValue+3)/6.0 * _scale.image.size.width); [UIView beginAnimations:nil context:NULL]; slider.transform = CGAffineTransformMakeTranslation(movex, 0); [UIView commitAnimations]; Which works... sort of. _scale (an UIImageView) is holding an image that is 1024 px wide - and width returns that amount. But that isnt what i'm looking for. I'm looking for the width of the image -as its represented on the screen-. This is not a fixed number, as the image will scale depending on orientation of the ipad. Is there a way to retrieve this?

You can also use the Quick Mask option to make selecting areas even easier. First, double-click on the Quick Mask button to bring up the options panel, and click on Selected Area, then click OK. This makes the area you paint over using Quick Mask into the selected area rather than the masked area, as is normally the case.
Next, choose the Paintbrush tool, and set its tool options for a small soft-edged brush.
Using the brush tool in Quick Mask mode, paint over the area that you want to repair. When you've covered all of it, click the Quick Mask button again to return to normal selection.
The selected area should now be surrounded by a marquee. Select the Patch tool, and use it to click and drag the selected area just as you did before, to an area of clean pixels. When you release it the tool will copy and blend as usual. Again, use CTRL+D to de-select the area when you've finished.
Use the Patch tool in conjunction with the Healing Brush and Clone Stamp, and you will have a powerful array of tools for retouching any picture quickly and effectively.

Finished American Mania. Good read, but the weird thing was that whenever the author was writing about anything I do know about, I caught him in pretty egregious factual errors, and the most interesting stuff was in things I don't know jack about -- which is a shame, since I can't really believe a word of what he says without cross-checking. Meh.
Out of books I haven't read already, except a few that I don't even want to. Crap. Perhaps it's time to get back to NWN2…

Başkent TV - February 27- 2009
Adnan Oktar:This is not something that one can argue about. We have been taking the lead for seven hundered years. After a temporary term, our leadership has remained with us in the spiritual sense. It stil remains with us in the spiritual sense. We are still the leader. I mean, we are the children, the decendants of the Ottoman. And we ruled this region very well. And everyone is accustomed to this. In the sermons of many foreign countries, they still recall Sultan Abdulhamit. Turkey's leadership is already not something in discussion... In other words; if you we ask Saudi Arabia to take the lead, even if we ask them kindly; they cannot take the lead in any case, they will not be willing to. The leader is Turkey. We have an experience of six or seven hundred years. This topic is already closed. This has been temporary. I mean, all right the caliphate is removed. This is true. The emperorship ended. This is also true. But its intengible heritage remained with us. Its moral strength remained with us. We will carry this on InshaAllah... This will carry on with Turkey's leadership... I mean none of the countries has neither the staff nor the talent, the desire or demand to become a leader. We are the only one demanding this in every aspect as the one having staff, qualified units, intellectuals, army, military, technology and culture along with an experience of six hundred – seven hundred years.There is no one else to do it. And this is what we are doing actively, right now. We are in Afghanistan, in some other place, we are everywhere.That's to say; when an incident occurs in Palestine, they ask Turkey to take the lead.

An Excerpt from the Column of Yusuf Kaplan:
That's why, this poor, pathetic intelligencia suffering from a blind mind and intellectual imperialism, that cannot see that we are a world actor from Asia to Europe in the last two thousand years of the world history , that we are a world actor having a key role in forming the world history along with the Germans, Arabs and Persians in the last thousand years, that we are also a world actor shaping the world history with Germans, Britons, French and Russians in the last five hundred years; that we have the keys to the order of peace and conciliation, which do possess the historical depth and cultural wealth that will restore the Ottoman's principals of justice, morality and aesthetics reshaping the world's future. - from the point of view suggested by the compass metaphor- cannot comprehend its horizon simultaneously wide open to particular catchment areas of the world as well as its will to become a central country; and it cannot stop itself from arabesque and eurobesque elegies with a primitiveness revealing its intellectual pitifulness, submissiveness and dimsightedness.

Are there any mods that balance the combat out?

Are there any mods that balance the combat out?
April 30th, 2012, 19:36
I would rather fight a mob of raging orcs then a pack of wolves. Fighting wolves is hard, and not in the regular fair way. You swing your sword at you and they keep jumping backwards making it almost impossible to kill them unless you back them into something. When they do attack you they just continuously stun lock you until you die. Which makes my time spent in Nordmar infuriating.
I have the latest Community Patch installed, with auto balancing off because I like being overpowered. I also have alternative AI off because I have no idea what it does.
Seeing as how most Gothic fans are a bunch of masochists for difficulty, I'm probably going to have a hard time finding a mod that makes fighting animals easier. (when I say animals, I mean mostly wolves.) But I might as well post here and see if anything turns up.

$1 Store Secret Santa
As a lot offices do, we here in the now Townsquare building have been holding a 'Secret Santa' for almost as long as I've been running aimlessly around these halls and annoying you on the air (May will be 10 years). Like many of the get togethers we have here from the annual Chili Cook Off (that Boris from WPDH always wins with grace and humility) to Thanksgiving Dinner to various Pot Lucks this one is greatly anticipated, if for no other reason than the silliness of some of the gifts and for the fact that we're all, at this point in the year, losing our minds.
You see a couple of years ago it was decided, for fun and to take the monetary pressure out of the equation, to limit the Secret Santa to something from a Dollar Store with the initial thought being just presents for $1. Though the presents don't necessarily stick to the $1 rule a Dollar Store for the shopping does.
My many thanks go out to my Secret Santa for the thermos that I will actually be able to use (Bob in production got a child's bowling ball and pin set – ammo at best) though sadly it didn't come wrapped with some intended soup already inside, like Tomato with maybe a grilled cheese sandwich?
For my Secret charge, John in sales, I bought a "Happy Holidays" mug and Santa coasters that will surely end up in the back of a kitchen cabinet in his home somewhere to eventually become a housewarming gift for the next person that buys his house. I also included with the gift a roll of scotch tape so that when he's either 1 – so impressed with the present I got him he'll have help wrapping the present he now feels obligated to get me or when 2 – he thinks the present sucks so bad that he will have help wrapping the present he re-gifts to someone he doesn't like.
A big thanks goes out to JB (Jill from traffic) and Anthony (from everywhere else) for getting this organized. Also of special note is Jill's fine and expert use of her megaphone to run the show…now nix the megaphone…please.
Outside of the Secret Santa-ing I did get a separate and very cool gift from our Jo-Jo in Traffic, the little stuffed Frankenberry fella that you see in the pic. Well, he now has his own thermos and, if he is anything like this Frankenberry it will be re-purposed to be a large beer tankard.

God reveals Himself to those who truly seek Him. Whether it be through His word or visions or dreams, (or other people).
One passage I remember, "Seek and you will find Him".
There is evidence of a creator. I believe that if you were to give the "God theroy" a look with an open mind you would see that there is more to it than meets the eye.
When you do find Him and God reveals himself to you then your blinders will be removed and I'm not saying this to be rude or condicending, I'm saying this because that is how it happened to me.
For years I thought on the same lines as you and many others here. I did not have time, religion is for the weak minded, i had better stuff to do with my time.
Well, I was skeptical and it was a slow process, I jumped in with both feet and eventually I began to see things differently(renewing of the mind)than the way I used to see things.
That is when God can show you, not before.
Give it a try, can't hurt.

Have hope
"And now, Lord, for what do I wait? My hope is in you." –Psalm 39:7
I have been following the severe weather outbreak across the Midwest over the last several days and the devastation is appalling. Tornadoes are nothing new to this Kansas girl, but even with as many storms as I've been through, I still can't get used to seeing broken homes and broken lives. Scenes like those in Joplin, Mo. are absolutely horrific and my heart hurts for the people whose lives have been so abruptly changed.
I can't say I know how they feel. I've never been personally affected by a tornado. My home has never been shattered to pieces. My possessions have never been blown miles away by the wind. I can only imagine the pain that follows having your life smashed and scattered, leaving you to try and pick up the pieces of whatever you can find.
I imagine a lot of people are feeling lost and hurt. And waiting. For an absolution. For redemption. For peace.
I believe the Lord allows everything for a purpose. We may not know what that purpose is right away, maybe we will never know. But it's during times like these that we need to put all our strength and faith in the Lord and hope in him.
I remember when an EF-5 tornado wiped the town of Greensburg, Kansas off the map on May 4, 2007. Greensburg is only an hour from where I live in southwest Kansas, so the storm was a pretty big deal in our area for a long time. I traveled to Greensburg a few weeks after the tornado ripped its path through the town. Here are some photos.
Sorry for the low quality of the images. My computer crashed a few months ago and I lost some of the images stored on my hard drive, these included. A friend was able to recover some of them for me, but they were super compressed. It happens. But I think you will still be able to get a pretty good idea of the state of shambles this town was reduced to.
This one really hurts my little farm girl heart. These used to be such pretty combines…
And farming implements. Tossed together and tangled like toys in a child's toy box.
Even though the homes of the people of Greensburg were crushed, their spirits were not.
They had hope.
They knew the process would be long. And hard. But they began rebuilding.
And now, four years later, they've come a long way.
Here is all that was left of Greensburg High School four years ago.
Here is the new Kiowa Country High School. The towns of Haviland, Mullinville and Greensburg consolidated and built this new, state-of-the-art high school at the site of the old Greensburg High School.
They even put in a wind turbine to generate power.
There is still a lot of work to do in Greensburg. Amidst the brand new hospital, high school, Dillions grocery store and Best Western hotel, trees can still be seen with missing limbs, stairs still sit on foundations and lead to nowhere. Signs of lives once lived and destroyed but never restored.
But slowly and surely, the resilient people of this town are rebuilding. They are making their town better than it used to be. They keep hoping.
I pray the people of Joplin, the people of Canadian County, Oklahoma and everyone else effected by this year's tornadoes have the strength to keep going.
I pray they have hope.
Much love,

so many new calibers coming out but I left wondering why I'd need anything more than a 12 gauge pump, M1a1 308 and Glock 10mm?
so many new calibers coming out but I left wondering why I'd need anything more than a 12 gauge pump, M1a1 308 and Glock 10mm?
The market will decide if the .327 Mag is a viable contender in the compact SD revolver arena. It always does. A LOT of shooters dismissed the .40 S&W as an answer to an unasked question when it was introduced. There were some very convincing arguments made to support that idea. Some shooters STILL feel that way. But NONE of those convincing arguments kept the .40 S&W from become overwhelmingly popular in CCW & LE circles because it simply worked. If the effectiveness (one shot stop statisitcs) PROVE the .327 mag really IS "twice as effective" as the .38 spl +P then (with the addition of an extra shot in the cylinder) there is a long & successful career ahead for this new caliber. But if it's just another example of "the next big thing"...it'll go the way of 8 Track tapes & Beta Max video recorders. Only time will tell.
When S&W comes out with their version in this cartridge, I'll buy one. (I dislike Ruger for the politics, not their guns.).
But as far as the cartridge goes, and from what I have seen and read of it ... it'll be a winner.
I went to the Shot Show again this year and it was the big talk there.
Also, saw the special they did on it on Shooting USA.
Read the couple of articles popping up here and there from AR, et al.
All the ballistics appear to support the idea that it is nearly equal to .357 Mag, yet in a smaller (sic: higher capacity), less-felt-recoil package. (Rumor has it that S&W is working on 7 & 8 shot models.)
S&W will no doubt offer a ligher version, 627, 642 type platform for the new cartridge that will truly highlight its potential-upside when it comes to carrying.
I know the wife is already hot about the idea. She's been on the local gunshop owner to give her all the information that I have been unable to provide to her satisfaction. And therein lies the potential really-big upside. If this turns out to be something the women perceive as "their magnum" ... well, that would be really good for all of us because the more women we motivate to come into our realm, the better off we will all be in the long run for a multitude of reasons imho.
I like it. I also like the fact that you can also fire 32 H&R Magnum in the weapon, or is that 32 S&W Long? Not sure, can't remember at the moment. Someone set me straight on that please. (Anyway, I like guns that fire mulitple cartridges: 38/357 Mag, 44Sp/44 Mag, "The Judge" 45LC/410, "The 460 XVR" 45LC/454 Casull/460 S&W Mag, etc.).
It has promise, but I think I will hang on to SP101 .357 magnum 3" for it is in a proven caliber in my book.
An answer in search of a question....
If it DOESN'T catch on and ammo is hard to get will it have any "collector value" or just be a unique but expensive paperweight? At $500 I can't justify being a guinea pig just yet.
I want a 342PD in this caliber 6 shots.
I reviewed my posting in this thread. I have changed my mind.
Maybe it is an answer to a question not asked; but, it is a good answer. And 4 rnds of different power & recoil levels makes the utility
of the handgun very good, from new shooter to old hand using the same package.

ABINGDON –– With a large portion of the Carroll County softball team attending commencement ceremonies Saturday morning – as onlookers, not participants – the lone 12th-grader on the Cavaliers' roster, Lindsey Davidson, received her diploma, officially exiting high school. Unofficially, the graduation of Davidson and her classmates made a group of season-long juniors a team of instant seniors.
Later in the day, they played like it, too.
Once Galax realized that those long, booming leading passes it kept sending downfield were easy fodder for Glenvar's offside trap, the Maroon Tide was just fine.
Besides, it was way too hot to repeatedly sprint 40 yards for no more reward other than to see a waving linesman's flag.
After incurring five offside calls in less than 10 minutes of play, Galax adjusted its approach, worked through Glenvar's defense rather than over it and advanced to the Region C semifinals with a 5-0 first round win Monday afternoon.
RADFORD –– Austin Pack's burgeoning career as a moonlighting track star is climbing onward and upward. Onward to the state tournament and upward to…well, who knows how high.
Pack, a junior who is better known as a quarterback, jumpshooter and pitcher/infielder, and whose lone job in track is bar-hopping, opened some eyes and set a new school record last Saturday by winning the Region C high jump championship at Radford University with a leap of six feet, six and a quarter inches.
That's 6-6. And a quarter.
RADFORD –– The most exciting match of the day Wednesday, certainly the one with the most thrilling finish, was the one that had the least relevance, at least in the big picture.
DRY FORK –– Carroll County came off the bus swinging and jumped out to a 10-0 lead in the top of the first, knocking off Tunstall 10-5 in a Region IV softball tournament quarterfinal game Tuesday.
The Cavaliers (19-5) registered eight hits among their first 10 batters, including RBI singles from Lillie Kimble and Ragan Halsey plus a three-run double by Jordan Nunn.
The double-digit cushion came in handy as Carroll County managed just two base hits the rest of the afternoon.
An expanded playoff field got Galax into the regionals in baseball for the first time since 1988. A scorching bat rack and a porous Bath County defense ensured Galax's wait for its next regional game would be a matter of days, not decades.
The Maroon Tide staked itself to a 6-1 lead in the first inning on five hits and three errors and kept just out of reach of Bath County the rest of the afternoon, take a 13-9 win in the Region C Division 1 quarterfinals at Felts Park.
INDEPENDENCE –– Grayson County batted through the lineup in three separate innings and annihilated Fort Chiswell 25-6 in a Region C Division 2 quarterfinal baseball game Tuesday.
Holding the Pioneers to one run in the first two innings thanks to a pair of double plays, the Blue Devils pounced on Fort starter Darren Roberts for five first-inning runs, including a two-run single by Jared Salts, to take the lead for good.
James River (21-3) pounded out 22 hits and scored 14 runs before Grayson County (13-10) scratched a hit as the Knights cruised to a 23-4 win in the Region C Division 2 softball tournament semifinals.
Thirteen different Knights had base hits. Jenna Sprinkle led the charge with a home run among her three hits. Haley Shotwell struck out four in five innings.
Taylor Hale connected on a two-run home run for Grayson County and drove in three of the Blue Devils' four runs.
Region C boys' soccer
RADFORD –– With the Cave Spring softball team down by seven runs midway through the fourth inning Wednesday, the talk in the Knights' dugout turned to whether anyone had seen "The Hangover Part II."
That is a movie about a night the characters can't remember. But Wednesday's game turned out to be one the Knights will never forget.
Down by nine runs entering the bottom of the sixth, the Knights rallied for a 13-12, eight-inning win over Carroll County in a Region IV semifinal at Radford University.
INDEPENDENCE – In its first two Region C Division 2 tournament games, Grayson County faced teams that would conclude their seasons with a combined record of 36-6.
Five of those six losses, including a pair of win-or-go-home decisions, were at the hands of the Blue Devils.
Grayson County (14-7) held a formidable Chilhowie lineup to three runs through six innings while the Blue Devils used bookend four-run rallies in the first and last innings to power their way back into the region title game, taking a 9-5 win over the Warriors (19-3) Thursday at GNB Park.

I have always had a fairly wide and humped nasal bridge which i finally came to get removed 3 weeks ago. I asked my surgeon to remove the hump on the bridge on my nose,it has been fractured to make the bridge narrow and rasped the bump down.
It was painless but uncomfortable and i found it hard to sleep at night as you must remain upright.I would do it again as it was worth it and there isnt any pain but as you can't breathe out your nose for the first few days this is difficult and gives you dry mouth so you must drink plenty of water and take 2 weeks off work. Bruising was minimal and lasted 5 days only which i was happy with.
One side is perfect but on the other i can still see and feel a big lumpy bone which looks like it used too before surgery. I called him up and he said give it 6 months as it will be swelling but i recognise the feeling of bone!.Could there be swelling underneath the bone pushing it up,how come the other side is perfect? What if he hasnt rasped enough?

Among the most vivid memories of the Dream Team in Barcelona was what's known as "the Kukoc game." That was the game in which Jordan and Pippen vowed to shut down Tony Kukoc, the Croatia star who had been offered a big contract by the Chicago Bulls at the same time management had refused to extend Pippen. In a Friday morning roundtable the Dream Teamers had joked about how all of them had vowed to shut down Kukoc on behalf of Pippen. Which is exactly what happened. So several hours later it was jarring to see Kukoc featured so prominently and saying nice things about Scottie in the taped segment that preceded Pippen's induction. In truth, though, Pippen always felt a little guilty — emphasis on little — about "the Kukoc game." For after the tall and talented Croatian joined the Bulls, he became one of Jordan's and Pippen's favorite teammates for his versatility.
Dream Team Rumors
On the game against Croatia when the Dream Team vowed to shut down Toni Kukoc, who had received a lucrative contract offer from the Bulls. And shut him down they did: Barkley: "I remember Michael was, like, foaming at the mouth. 'Kukoc makes more money than Scottie and I put together! Wherever he goes, I got him!' And Michael and Scottie shut him down. It was hilarious." Pippen: "I appreciate you guys talking like that, but it was truly a collective effort. If I got beat on the backdoor, David was right there. In truth? Toni did not have a chance in that game."

REVIEW STAFF

Hamilton will soon get official word of funding commitments for community projects from the federal government through its Community Infrastructure Improvement Fund (CIIF), MP David Sweet (Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale) said Saturday during his New Year's levée in Waterdown.

Although "not at liberty" to say which of 18 projects submitted by the city will receive funding or how much, Sweet said in an interview that those and other details will soon be known as the process rolls out. "The process was slowed by the holidays," he said, while adding that the funding announcement will be made "in the near future."

In December, the city received unofficial word from the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario that (CIIF) funding will be granted for expansion and renovations to the Ancaster Senior Achievement Centre and the rehabilitation and upgrade of the Sackville Senior Centre. The commitment from the government will be $500,000 for the Ancaster project and $650,000 for the Sackville project on Hamilton Mountain. The city will match the federal funding in each case.

One of the projects on the list for government funding was a $1.2-million renovation of Waterdown's Memorial Hall.

Another local undertaking that has yet to secure a funding commitment from the Canadian government is the cleanup of chemical pollution at the Hamilton airport. The city wants the government to help pay for cleaning up perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) contamination caused by firefighting foam used 30 years ago during training at the site, when it belonged to the federal government.

Sweet said Transport Minister Denis Lebel, who rejected Hamilton's request for funding assistance last summer while pointing out that the city accepted the airport lands "as is" in 1996, indicated late last month that he is "reviewing the file." The Minister is also waiting to hear the results of a study by TradePort International Corp, operator of the airport, about the amount of contaminant on the site, the direction of its spread and the estimated cost of cleanup, the local MP said.

It's estimated the cleanup could cost up to $4 million.

On the national front, Sweet confirmed that Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced last Friday that a meeting has been arranged for this Friday (Jan. 11) with a delegation of First Nations leaders coordinated by the Assembly of First Nations to continue ongoing dialogue from the historic Crown-First Nations Gathering held last January. The meeting will focus on the treaty relationship and aboriginal rights, and economic development.

Meeting

Sweet didn't know if Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence, who launched a hunger strike, consuming only liquids, Dec. 11 to promote a meeting with the federal government about treaty rights, would be at Friday's meeting as Harper left it up to the Assembly of First Nations to choose which native leaders will attend, but Spence has said she expects to be there. Spence has vowed to continue her strike until she has weighed the outcome of the meeting.

"Canada's economy continues to outperform all Western countries," Sweet said as he talked about the Conservative government's plans to continue its focus on the economy, jobs and growth over the next year. Keeping the tax rate low, reducing government spending, looking at more ways to reduce government red tape and balancing the federal books are also priorities, he said.

About 100 people attended Sweet's levée at the Waterdown Legion Hall, where they got an opportunity to talk with their MP and enjoy refreshments, including cake, sandwiches, tea, coffee or hot apple cider.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX may open higher, Fed meet in focus
Dec 12 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index looked set to open higher on Wednesday, as investors bet the U.S. Federal Reserve will unveil a fresh round of stimulus for the economy.
* The U.S. Federal Reserve is expected to announce a fresh round of bond buying as part of its efforts to support a fragile economic recovery threatened by political wrangling over the government's budget.
* Cenovus Energy Inc said it expects to produce nearly 14 percent more oil next year as it ramps up output at its Christina Lake oil sands project in northern Alberta.
* Range Resources Corp said it expects capital spending to fall 19 percent to $1.3 billion in 2013, with nearly 85 percent of the budget going to its oil and liquids-rich operations in the Marcellus and Horizontal Mississippian shale fields.
* Avon Products Inc said it will cut about 1,500 jobs globally and will exit the South Korea and Vietnam markets as part of a turnaround plan announced in November.

Inducing and Characterizing Structural Changes in RuO2•xH2O
Cormier, Zachary R.
MetadataShow full item record
RuO2/carbon composites have attracted a lot of attention for use as supercapacitor electrodes due to their high power and energy capabilities. Methods for loading the RuO2 into the carbon include impregnation and electrochemical deposition. The first project involves impregnation of RuO2 nanoparticles into a mesoporous carbon powder. Structural changes of the RuO2 nanoparticles in the composite were induced by annealing at high temperatures, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) and X-ray absorption (XAS) were used to study the changes. In situ electrochemical-XAS experiments were also developed and performed to study the structural stability of the RuO2 nanoparticles in the composite as well as bulk RuO2•xH2O, with respect to changing potential. Preliminary work on the electrodeposition of RuO2•xH2O onto Au foil and carbon cloth was performed. An electrode with a high specific capacitance of the RuO2•xH2O component was achieved. However, further studies need to be performed to optimize the deposition solution.

Pirates tender offers to eight
Pirates tender offers to eight
While Jose Castillo, Jody Gerut, Mike Gonzalez, John Grabow, Xavier Nady and Freddy Sanchez were all expected to be offered contracts, the status of Shawn Chacon and Humberto Cota was uncertain until just prior to the midnight ET deadline for teams to tender offers.
Chacon, who will turn 29 on Dec. 23, went 7-6 with a 6.36 ERA in 26 appearances overall with the Pirates and Yankees last season while earning $3.6 million. Because teams can not cut an arbitration-eligible player's salary by more than 20 percent from the previous season, there was speculation that the Pirates might non-tender Chacon and attempt to re-sign him at as smaller salary as a free agent. If the Pirates had chosen to go that route, however, they would have risked the possibility of Chacon signing with another club.
Cota, who was the Pirates' Minor League Player of the Year in 2001, batted just .190 with five RBIs in 100 at-bats last season. Cota rarely played in the second half of the 2006 season, and he was thought to be a likely candidate to be non-tendered.
The Pirates also made a roster move earlier in the day Tuesday by claiming relief pitcher Franquelis Osoria off waivers from the Dodgers.
Osoria, 25, has split the past two seasons between Los Angeles and Triple-A Las Vegas. In 36 career big-league appearances, he has gone 0-4 with a 5.13 ERA.
With the addition of Osoria, the Pirates have 40 players on their 40-man roster.
In other Pirates news, the team is expected to officially announce the signing of right-handed pitcher Yoslan Herrera later this week, perhaps as early as Wednesday. Herrera, a Cuban defector who agreed in principle to a three-year contract in early November, was in Pittsburgh for his team physical this past weekend.
Herrera, 25, compiled an 18-7 record and a 3.27 ERA while pitching in Cuba.

Build It: A Budget CS5 Desktop
ARTICLE DATE : August 18, 2010
We take the contradictory idea of a "budget Adobe CS5 desktop PC" as a quixotic challenge and make it for less than $2,000.
Sure the concept of a budget CS5 desktop PC seems counterintuitive. After all, Adobe Creative Suite 5 (CS5) is the kind of software suite that needs some serious power to run smoothly. It's like trying to find the cheapest five-carat diamondno matter what you find, it's still going to be expensive, because, well, it's a diamond. The suite itself costs $2,600! You can save money by just upgrading the parts of the suite you need, but what if you want to start from scratch? That's where we come in. From choosing the parts and putting them together, we walk you through the steps of building a solid system that will run CS5 for $1,916 total.
It's important to note that this system build will not be as powerful (or, consequently, as expensive) as the Ultimate CS4 Machine, though the components we plan on using for the CS5 will be pretty close in terms of performance. In building this desktop, we are taking full advantage of the backend work Adobe has done. For example, it increased the support for 64-bit CPU integration and even gave Premiere a new 64-bit playback engine. Adobe CS5 also takes advantage of your system processor's multithreading capability. Adobe also made some significant changes to the overall hardware integration with supported video cards in After Effects, Photoshop, and Premiere.
Graphics Card
CPU & Motherboard
Memory & Hard Drive
Power Supply & Case
CS5 is the dominant creative suite on the market, but that dominance comes at a high price, literally. The point of this system is to ease some of that burden on your wallet and still build a system that will get the most out of the Suite. There are definitely ways to supe up this system for your individual needs but this should provide a good base.

Weak global oil demand is keeping a lid on prices, according to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), and that's bad news for companies carrying a lot of debt.
Oil demand for 2014 will be lower than previously expected, prompting the IEA to downgrade its forecast by 180,000 barrels per day (bpd) for the year. In the second quarter, global demand only increased at an annualized rate of 700,000 barrels per day, the slowest pace in over two years.
Flagging demand is helping to keep oil prices from spiking, which is fortunate, considering that violence in oil producing countries around the world is keeping a substantial portion of oil supplies offline. All told, around 4 percent of global oil supplies are offline because of conflict. But, according to the IEA, "Oil prices seem almost eerily calm in the face of mounting geopolitical risks spanning an unusually large swathe of the oil-producing world."
Libya has been in a state of political crisis for over a year, which has kept most of its 1.6 million barrel-per-day capacity offline since the summer of 2013. Nigeria has experienced sabotage to key pipeline infrastructure, knocking some of its production offline. Iran has been under western sanctions since 2012, which have capped Iranian oil exports at 1 million bpd – about 1.5 million bpd lower than pre-2012. And Iraq, despite continuing crisis and chaos, has remarkably kept its output fairly steady.
The fact that prices have remained unusually stable over this period of global unrest is a result of weak global demand. Demand growth in the U.S. and Europe has been much softer than expected. OECD economies – a collection of 34 industrialized nations – saw oil demand shrink by more than 400,000 barrels per day in the second quarter.

Hugi, with whom Thialfi contended in running, was Thought, and it was impossible for Thialfi to keep pace with that.
There the goal was fixed, and Thialfi and Hugi started off together.
Then they ran the second heat, and when Hugi reached the goal, Thialfi was three quarters of the way thither.
Next Thiolfi presented himself to run a race, and the king brought out a young man named Hugi to run with him.
In the second trial, Thjalfi was a full bow-shot from the boundary when Hugi arrived at it.
Hugi, with whom Thiolfi was running, was Thought, and not the swiftest runner can keep pace with that.
Thialfi is the swiftest of mortal runners; but the slender lad, Hugi, was my thought; and what speed can ever equal his?
They followed him out to the plain where Hugi, whose name means "thought," was ready to race with young Thialfi.
The King called on one named Hugi and placed him against Thialfi.
In the first run Hugi came in so far ahead that when he reached the goal he turned about and went back to meet Thialfi.

I volunteer at a range as an instructor once or twice a month. The other instructors and I divy up any brass that shooters who dont reload are going to throw away. You really can't have too much, since the price is always only going to go up in the future. I think of it as a hedge against inflation.
It used to be only rifle brass, but last year they put in a pistol range, so now we can scrounge that too. Also, the cops sometimes come out and use the range for training and leave all their brass on the ground. Usually good Hornady brass.
I got several hundred pieces of once fired Hornady .223/5.56 brass off the ground last year thanks to them.
Funny, I just remembered, one day last year my daughter was out riding her 4 wheeler over at the neighbors place. She comes flying up in the yard and runs in the house hollering, "Dad, come quick!"
Long story short, the neighbor's son and his freinds had been out shooting in the pasture a few days earlier and she came across the brass on the ground out there while riding.
She then let the neighbor know that she and her dad would be right over to clean that mess up for him if he would like us to. lol. She loves it. It's like Easter egg hunting to her.
That resulted in a few hundred 9mm and .40 cal cases. They were shooting ak and sks too, but it was all steel stuff.
Brass is where you find it.

LAKELAND -- For the third year in a row, Indian Rocks Christian ended Lakeland Christian's season 25-10, 25-12, 25-7 in a Class 2A region quarterfinal Tuesday night.
The Eagles (23-6) will play Tampa Prep in the region semifinals next week. The Terps topped the Golden Eagles last week for the district crown.
The Vikings, who had to reshuffle their lineup due to injuries during the season, finish 11-13.
The Vikings scored the first two points of the match, but the Eagles used the serving of co-captains Marisa Moralobo and Kindall Edwards to score 17 of the next 18 points and take the first game and control of the match.
"Mentally, I think we shut down tonight," Viking coach Allie Henderson said. " Due to the injuries, we had to put different girls in there and we learned a lot about our team."
"Serving has been our key all year long," Eagles coach Mark Foster said. "We have three main hitters (Moralobo, Edwards and Madi Loebel) and everybody feeds off of them."
