No, I'm not assuming this at all.
What I'm assuming is that some underaged congoers will find someone to do a badge-swap with them. It only takes one, really, and then we're violating the law, and opening ourselves up to prosecution and lawsuits.
It doesn't take every underaged congoer to make trouble for us, after all, if we don't follow the law. And if we're already following the law and checking IDs, then what's the point of having badges that show us if you're a minor?

I have made myself some clothes, the kids clothes and enjoyed doing that.
I have done quilts and loved that.
I have done stuffed animals and other crafty things and loved that.
My problem is i get burned out and if i have a stack of projects to get done, likelyhood is that i will go gung-ho to begin with and then fizzle out and by the end completely give up and leave the last one or two items to be relegated to the UFO pile.05-07-2005, 06:04 PM #11

Between tricky restaurant choices, finicky eaters, and the desire to provide healthy, nourishing food, taking the kids out to eat can drive any parent crazy! We'll give you the inside scoop on better choices and some easy steps on how to lighten up those kid-favorites. By: Toby Amidor, MS, RD and Karen Ansel, MS, RD
Kids' Menu Choices
Panera Bread
Made from white whole-grain bread, this sandwich from Panera Bread contains 3 grams of filling fiber and is paired with 60-calorie organic yogurt (a better choice than chips). Peanut butter (about 2 tablespoons worth) is an excellent source of heart-friendly vegetable protein as well as niacin, vitamin E, and magnesium. With almost half the sodium as the other kids' sandwich options, it's clearly the better choice.
Thumbs Down: Signature Mac & Cheese
This 490-calorie meal doesn't seem too terrible, but remember kids need fewer calories than adults. In this dish, 55 percent of the calories come from fat, 13 grams of which is saturated fat. To balance out the meal, split a PB&J or Smoked Turkey Sandwich between two children and add a few tablespoons of the Mac & Cheese on the side.
Chili's Grill & Bar
When your child is dining off the Chili's Grill & Bar Pepper Pals menu, the Grilled Chicken Platter is an overall healthy option with 170 calories, 5 grams of fat, and 720 milligrams of sodium. Side dishes and drinks aren't included in the calorie information of the dish (but are included in the kid's meal), so choose wisely. Some healthier sides include broccoli, mandarin oranges, pineapple, or celery sticks with Ranch.
Thumbs Down: Pepper Pals Side Cinnamon Apples
A medium apple contains 95 calories and is naturally fat free. However, this cinnamon-flavored menu item contains almost three times the calories and 11 grams of fat. While this side does offer a healthy dose of fiber, treat it as a dessert or skip it and choose any of the sides listed above as well as corn on the cob without butter or mashed potatoes without gravy.
Forgo the cheese and choose the Applebee's single mini hamburger featuring 100% fresh ground beef for 340 calories and 14 grams of filling protein. This burger is quite filling, so skip the fries and pair it with steamed broccoli for just 25 calories. If the Kids menu in your town offers fried shrimp or pasta with marinara sauce, consider one of these options. Both are lower calorie and fat choices with 230 calories and 360 calories, respectively.
Thumbs Down: Kids Grilled Cheese (on sourdough bread)
With loads of sodium (1,430 milligrams to be exact), this isn't an ideal choice for a growing child. With a whopping 620 calories, this entrée has more than twice the calories of an order of kids' chicken tenders. Ask for whole-wheat bread to up the fiber and pair it with a side of applesauce (as opposed to fries) so you don't add even more sodium to the meal.
Uno Chicago Grill
There's no guilt choosing these Uno Chicago Grill oven-baked chicken nuggets for your child. One serving supplies a reasonable 250 calories and 12 grams of fat (only 2.5 grams are saturated). Compared to many other items on the kiddie menu, it's lower in sodium too with 460 milligrams. Plus it dishes up 40% of the daily value for iron. Round out your child's meal with a side of steamed broccoli, red grapes, or brown rice for extra fiber and nutrients.
Thumbs Down: Deep Dish Pepperoni Pizza
This deep dish pie serves up a staggering 900 calories, 62 grams of fat, and 1,470 milligrams of sodium. Your child can still go Italian. Order a 290-calorie bowl of whole grain pasta with tomato sauce (it counts as a veggie!). Your child will score 9 grams of fiber and at least 20% of their daily value for vitamins A and C.
A small turkey sandwich off the Così Kids menu has just 151 calories, 1 gram of fat, and 262 milligrams of sodium. Skip the chips, soda, and juice and choose baby carrots or a fruit cup and milk. Also, ask for the sandwich to be made on whole wheat bread for added fiber and whole grains.
Thumbs Down: Mississippi Mud Pie instead
With many of the sandwiches within reasonable calorie ranges (like tuna, turkey, and even grilled cheese), ordering this truly troublesome dessert will add a staggering 777 calories, 50 grams of fat, and 1,065 milligrams of sodium to the meal—yikes! Considering each kids' meal already comes with a chocolate chip cookie, skip the kids' dessert menu entirely.
California Pizza Kitchen
With only 280 calories, this meal from CPK is the lowest calorie entrée on the menu. Three grams of fiber and a low 456mg of sodium make it a good choice for your healthy eater. Pair with milk and if there's room, round out the meal with fresh fruit.
Thumbs Down: Kids Curly Mac 'n' Cheese
With 960 calories, 33 grams saturated fat, and 699 milligrams of sodium this dish is well above the healthy limits for any child or adult. If noodles are on your child's mind, choose the multigrain Fusilli (you can get it upon request) with Tomato Sauce to save 470 calories and 31 grams of saturated fat.
Red Lobster
When it comes to healthy kids meals, Red Lobster's Kids' Cove Menu has too many to list. Top honors go to the Garlic-Grilled Shrimp with just 60 calories and 1 gram of fat (0 saturated). Other top picks include the Broiled Fish and the Popcorn Shrimp for 140 calories each. Did we mention that we love that all of these come with 1% milk plus your child's choice of broccoli or orange slices?
Thumbs Down: Frozen Strawberry Lemonade
With the exception of the Chicken Fingers, just about every kids' pick is a winner. But there's still trouble lurking on the kids' drink menu. Red Lobster's Kids' Cove Smoothies, Slushies, and Lemonades all pour upwards of 250 calories. The biggest calorie bomb is the innocent-sounding Frozen Strawberry Lemonade, clocking in at 380 calories. Steer your child toward the gratuitous glass of milk instead.
Friendly's offers 2 kinds of entrées for children: Level 1, with smaller portions, and Level 2, with larger portions. In most cases the petite size Level 1 entrees are the smartest picks for kids of any age. The best of the bunch: Friendly's Mac & Cheese. It's surprisingly moderate in fat and calories with 340 calories and 11 grams of fat. Plus, your child will get plenty of protein and calcium. Friendly's Mac comes complete with a side so your child has an opportunity to work in some produce too. Top picks include mixed vegetables, apple slices, or broccoli.
Thumbs Down: Chicken Quesadilla
Nearly all the Level 2 entrées dish up more fat and calories than most adults should eat, let alone a child. But the booby prize goes to the Chicken Quesadilla with a shameful 1,070 calories, 72 fat grams, and 2,340 milligrams of sodium.

The performance will begin at 3 p.m. Admission is free and open to the public.
The program will focus on the "spiritual," including "Hush, Somebody's Callin' My Name," "I Hear A Voice A-Prayin,'" "Let The Heaven Light Shine On Me," "If I Got My Ticket, Can I Ride?" "I Want Jesus," "My God Is A Rock," "Set Down Servant," "Sometimes I Feel," "I Know I Been Changed," "I Been In The Storm So Long," "My God Is So High," "My Lord, What a Mornin'" and "Ain't-a That Good News."
Featured soloists will be Maria Fogle of Columbia, Danielle Richardson of Greenville, Courtney Dease of Scranton, Kevin Deaver of Florence, Alonda Heyward of Summerville, Jason Jones of Florence, Stacy Gandy of Chapin, Christian Weatherford of Pamplico, as well as Glen Gourley, FMU associate professor of theater, and Benjamin Woods, FMU professor of music.
The religious songs of African-Americans have commonly been accepted as characteristic music of the race. The name "spirituals," given to them years ago, is still current and many songs still retain their former qualities. Besides providing relaxation and solace, such religious songs were a stimulus to courage and a tie to heaven. Such songs are all valuable as an expression of the character and life of a people. They breathe a childlike faith in a personal Father, and glow with the hope that the children of bondage will ultimately pass out of the wilderness of slavery into the land of freedom.
The 30-voice choir is under the direction of Sue Butler Orr, FMU assistant professor of music and choral director. The group is accompanied by Rebecca M. Culbertson.

My name is Clarissa and yup, I am the lady in the photo. I am a work from home mum and I have been hosting/managing/developing websites since year 2005.
I deal a lot with web hosting companies due to my job nature as a web developer. To name a few, I was/am a user of A2Hosting, BlueHost, FatCow, GoDaddy, Hostgator, InMotion, iPower, Lunarpages, SiteCloud and of course, iPage – an excellent shared hosting company that I have been using a lot lately.
I enjoy cooking (a lot!) and hanging out with my kids during my free time. Unlike most other web developers, I prefer not to spend long hours time in front of a PC – this is why I do not have an active Twitter nor Delicious account until today :(.
About this site
The objective of iPageReview.biz is simple and direct: to assist web host shoppers to make informed-decision before they make a purchase. It is a place to share my opinions about the web host (read my iPage review); as well as a place to collect and display users' reviews. The website is all about iPage at this moment but I might add other host later in the future. In case you need opinions on other web hosts, check out my list of 'Other Hosting Resources' for other reliable hosting review sites.
Please bear in mind that my review and comment are solely based on my personal preferences. Also, when you are reading iPageReview.biz, it's important to note that I am affiliated to iPage (it means I get paid when you order iPage from this site) though I've done my best to make sure my review is fair and unbiased (this is why we have the user review section, right?).

Introduction. Spectroscopic analysis of urine samples from laboratory animals can be used to predict the efficacy and side effects of drugs. This employs methods combining 1H NMR spectroscopy with quantification of biomarkers or with multivariate data analysis. The most critical steps in data evaluation are analytical reproducibility of NMR data (collection, storage, and processing) and the health status of the animals, which may influence urine pH and osmolarity. Methods. We treated rats with a solvent, a diuretic, or a nephrotoxicant and collected urine samples. Samples were titrated to pH 3 to 9, or salt concentrations increased up to 20-fold. The effects of storage conditions and freeze-thaw cycles were monitored. Selected metabolites and multivariate data analysis were evaluated after 1H NMR spectroscopy. Results. We showed that variation of pH from 3 to 9 and increases in osmolarity up to 6-fold had no effect on the quantification of the metabolites or on multivariate data analysis. Storage led to changes after 14 days at 4°C or after 12 months at −20°C, independent of sample composition. Multiple freeze-thaw cycles did not affect data analysis. Conclusion. Reproducibility of NMR measurements is not dependent on sample composition under physiological or pathological conditions.

Well the treks were a sensation, and all input by World Expeditions was faultless. The planning, all the personal, and the complete itinerary were superb. The scenery was spectacular. The people were so friendly. My highlights were- the day walking back to the bus from Landruk through all the beautiful villages and farms, getting to Everest Base Camp, and the views from Gokyo Ri and Kala Pattar. Thanks again for all your input to a superb month in Nepal.
Travel Advisory
Peru Update: 15 March 2017
There have been heavy rains across many regions of Peru in recent weeks causing flooding, landslides and mudslides. Trujillo and surrounding areas in the north of Peru have been particularly affected as have areas of Lima. November through April is the rainy season in Peru and every year this region experiences flooding and landslides in some regions. Our partner has advised that at present no World Expedition trips have been affected.
We will of course be monitoring the situation and will provide updates if there are any further developments. In the event that any of our trips will be affected, contingency plans will be implemented to ensure their smooth running. As always the safety of our travellers is our foremost priority. World Expeditions and our partner in Peru continue to monitor the situation and we are receiving constant updates.
Japan Update: 22 November 2016
A 6.9 magnitude earthquake off north-eastern Japan near Fukushima prefecture has prompted a tsunami warning of possible 3m waves; small tsunamis have been observed in coastal areas. The quake struck this morning at about 06:00 local time with an estimated depth of around 25km. Damage from the quake remains unclear, but there are some reports of minor injuries. Tremors were felt in Tokyo and residents have been urged to evacuate some coastal areas - a Tsunami warning has been issued for Fukushima prefecture and Miyagi prefecture..
World Expeditions presently has a group of travellers on our Backroads of the Japan trip who are now in Nara and are safe and well; their itinerary will continue as planned unless changes become necessary. The safety of our travellers is our foremost priority.
We will continue to monitor the situation and further updates will be provided if required. Those in Japan should follow all instructions issued by local authorities, including evacuation orders and should expect aftershocks. Our thoughts are with those affected by this event.
India Update: 18 November 2016
Currency restrictions remain in place across India. No more than 2000 Indian rupees (around AUD 40) may be exchanged over-the-counter at one time. The current ATM withdrawal limit is 2,500 rupees (around AUD 50). Indian authorities recently announced that all 500 and 1,000 rupee banknotes were to be withdrawn from circulation, as part of a crackdown on corruption and counterfeit currency. Please do not rely on ATM's or the bank to withdraw money in India at this time. We suggest all travellers bring foreign currency to exchange upon arrival in India. Please also use ATM's at the airport on arrival.
Thailand Update: 23 October 2016
World Expeditions joins the people of Thailand and people all over the world in offering our deepest condolences and respect upon the passing of King Bhumibol Adulyadej of Thailand. The dedication of His Majesty to the well-being of the nation and its people is unparalleled.
Thailand is entering a period of mourning that will last for one year commencing 14 October 2016. During the first 30 days of the mourning period, all public festivities are cancelled. In the initial period, some entertainment venues may decide to close or operate with restricted hours. Major sites, with the exception of Wat Pra Kaew (Temple of the Emerald Buddha) and the Grand Palace in Bangkok, are open as usual, as are restaurants and shops. The general atmosphere is, as expected, subdued.
Travellers should exercise special sensitivity as Thailand mourns the passing of its monarch. The Tourism Authority of Thailand encourages visitors to continue with their travel plans as normal and has created a list of recommendations regarding the Mourning Period for His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The recommendations should be adhered to as a mark of respect and solidarity with the Thai people.
• Many Thai people will be wearing black or white clothing as a sign of mourning. This is not required of visitors but if possible, they should wear sombre and respectful clothing when in public and avoid colourful, eye-catching dress.
• Visitors should refrain from conducting any inappropriate or disrespectful behaviour.
• Most of the traditional and cultural events will be taking place as usual, although the celebrations may be changed for appropriateness as a mark of respect, or the events may be dedicated to the memory of His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
• All transport, banks, hospitals and other public services will be operating as usual.
• The related authorities have stepped up safety and security measures for all Thais and visitors to facilitate their travelling around the country.
All World Expeditions trips are operating as normal and do so with the utmost respect for the remarkable King Bhumibol Adulyadej and his people.
Vietnam Update: 18 October 2016
Vietnam has been struck by severe flooding from a tropical low pressure event that brought rains of up to 900mm to central parts of the country in recent days. Reports indicate that at least 25 people have died and four are missing, with these numbers expected, unfortunately, to rise. Our thoughts are with those affected by this event. The regions affected (at present) are four provinces in the central north of Vietnam (Quang Binh, Quang Tri, Vinh and Ha Tinh). All World Expeditions travellers are safe and accounted for.
The country is bracing for the prospect of more floods and landslides to come as Typhoon Sarika regroups over the South China Sea. Winds are forecast to be up to 150 km per hour, with the storm expected to be in striking distance of Vietnam's northern coast by tomorrow morning or possibly this evening. All cruises in Halong Bay will be cancelled for the next few days at least.
Below is the status in relation to current and forthcoming trips (until the end of October). As always, the safety of our travellers is our foremost concern. If required, contingencies will be implemented. Naturally the situation is fluid and we are receiving regular updates from Vietnam as the situation unfolds.
Best of Vietnam and Cambodia - 1/10/16 - The group have left Vietnam and are doing well in Cambodia.
Vietnam by Bike - 15/10/2016 - Travelling to Hue by train tonight (18 October). The railway routes from the north to the centre of Vietnam are operating normally. The group completed the overnight cruise in Halong bay as normal last night but this morning for safety reasons all the cruises returned to shore earlier than scheduled by about 2 hours; the trip continues to follow the itinerary as normal.
Mekong Delta Cycle - 15/10/2016 - Trip runs in Southern Vietnam, no impact at present.
Waters Vietnam Adventure - 17/10/2016 - Halong bay cruise is cancelled today, remaining in Hanoi tonight and will continue as normal tomorrow.
The forthcoming trips below are expected to operate as normal however the situation is fluid and contingencies will be implemented if needed.
Ho Chi Minh City to Angkor Wat Cycle - 29/10/2016
Mekong Explorer River Cruise - 29/10/2016
Bike, Hike and Kayak Northern Vietnam - 31/10/2016
Myanmar Update: 14 October
The government has imposed a state of emergency in the majority of Rakhine State (except Sittwe and resort areas at Ngapali Beach) in response to armed clashes. World Expeditions does not offer trips in this area and all forthcoming World Expeditions trips are operational. The rest of the country is calm; the affected area is in the most Northern part of Rakhine State and it is business as usual in the rest of the country. The people of Myanmar look forward to welcoming travellers as always.
China Typhoon Meranti Update: 19 September 2016
Typhoon Meranti made landfall early Thursday September 15 in Fujian province. The strongest typhoon to hit China this year has left 28 people dead and 15 others missing in the east of the country. Reportedly the worst hit area is Xiamen (or Amoy) and Fuzhou has been flood affected. World Expeditions trips do not go to any of these places so none of our trips have been impacted, however naturally we are watchful as ever during Typhoon season. Chinese authorities on Saturday warned of high waves and strong winds from a new storm, Malakas, which was bearing down on the east coast of the Chinese mainland after skirting Taiwan; we will monitor the impacts of this new storm however it is likely to affect the same region as Meranti. Our thoughts are with those affected by these storms. All trips in China are operational as normal and as always we are carefully monitoring conditions, with trip changes implemented where necessary to ensure the safety of travellers.
Myanmar Earthquake Update: 28 August 2016
On the 24th of August a 6.8-magnitude earthquake struck 19 km from Seikphyu (south of Bagan) in Myanmar, resulting in the deaths of three and damage to some 187 pagodas and temples. All World Expeditions travellers and staff on the ground are safe and all trips have continued to run as normal. After an earthquake struck Bagan in 1975, more than 600 pagodas were poorly renovated. The parts of the pagodas that were renewed after the 1975 earthquake have been damaged but the ancient bricks have not collapsed. We will continue to monitor conditions locally and if necessary amendments to itineraries will be implemented however at this stage no significant changes are expected. As always the safety of our travellers is our foremost priority.
Zika Virus: Updated 18 November 2016
The Zika virus (ZIKV) is a mosquito-borne disease, which is transmitted by some species of Aedes mosquito which bite in the day, particularly around dawn and dusk. The Zika virus is present in a number of countries in Central and South America, the Caribbean, the Pacific and parts of Asia. Click here for list of affected countries, in order of prevalence of the disease. Travellers are advised to protect themselves from mosquito bites by using insect repellents and wearing long sleeves and long pants, especially during daylight when the mosquitoes tend to be most active. The virus has been identified as a particular concern for pregnant women and they are being urged to reconsider or postpone their trips to countries affected by the virus. For more information see the World Health Organisation (WHO) website here. We will be monitoring the situation and provide updates if there are any further developments warranting concern. For now, all of our trips remain operational.

| Ventus
|330 Gs
| Monarus
Moonlit Monarus
|First appearance
|Just For the Shun of it
Monarus (Japanese version Fairy (フェアリー Fearī)) is a butterfly-like Bakugan.
Monarus is a butterfly-like Bakugan. Monarus, like other Ventus attributed Bakugan, is one of the fastest Bakugan thanks to its large wings and ultra light weight. It has the ability to fly beyond Gate Cards. Its enormous butterfly wings can create a mighty hurricane wind to defeat it's opponents.
Bakugan Battle Brawlers
In Bakugan Battle Brawlers, Shun had a Ventus Monarus and Runo had a Haos Monarus.
Monarus first appeared in episode 13 of Bakugan Battle Brawlers, Just For the Shun of it, where it fought and saved Drago from being sent to the Doom Dimension.
It appeared in Duel in the Desert, where it once again saved a Bakugan from being sent to the Doom Dimension, this time Gorem.
In A Little Help From My Friends, Shun used it in his battle against Komba, she used Blow Away on Harpus and El Condor to defeat them.
A Haos Monarus was seen in Doom Dimension or Bust, in Runo's basket of Bakugan when she decided not to play Bakugan anymore.
In A Place Far From Home, it battled Oberus, but was defeated by Bee Striker.
In Ground Control To Major Dan!, a Ventus Monarus was seen with Harpus trying to fend off Tayghen.
- Ability Cards
- Scarlet Twister (Crimson Twister): Monarus can move any Bakugan on the field to any Gate Card, but defeats Monarus if the Bakugan that was moved was about to being defeated by another Bakugan.
- Air Battle: Monarus can fly beyond Gate Cards and nullifies the Gate Cards that it lands on. (Ventus)
- Blow Away: Moves the opponent to another Gate Card. (Ventus)
- Backdraft: Removes Monarus or the opponent Bakugan from the current brawl, making the battle a tie. (Ventus)
Monarus was released in the BakuClear/BakuPearl series, in all Attributes, except Darkus and in Pearl as Pyrus, Ventus, and Subterra. In Japan, its Ventus version in BCV-07 comes with 200 Gs and 380 Gs.
Monarus is available in Pyrus, Ventus, and Haos for the first video game. Chan Lee and Dan use a Pyrus Monarus, Runo and Julio both have Haos Monarus, and Shun and Komba both have Ventus Monarus. Monarus starts with 300 Gs when purchased, making it the second strongest non-Guardian Bakugan in the video game, the first being Laserman with 320 Gs.
|470 Gs (Pearl), 700 Gs
|570 Gs
|590 Gs
|200 Gs (Japan), 380 Gs (Japan), 440 Gs (Pearl), 560 Gs, 640 Gs (Pearl)
- Its name and appearance are based on the Monarch Butterfly.
- There are a variety of things about Monarus that change, such as, the ovals on the back of its wings sometimes vanish, they are also sometimes diamond-shaped, also the yellow is sometimes close together, or spread out, its head is sometimes smaller, sometimes one of its eyes is bigger than the other, and a few other things.
- In the DS version of the Video Game, a Pyrus Monarus is orange with red on the top screen, but it is red with orange on the touch screen, a Haos Monarus has a bit of an inverted color scheme and a Ventus Monarus appears normal, probably because it is Ventus in the anime.
- In the anime, Ventus Monarus has red eyes, but while in the game, it has yellow eyes.
- Monarus and Ravenoid are the only two minor Bakugan from season 1 that have an game exclusive evolution in season 2.
- Monarus' rising battle cry in the Wii video game sounds like something Sirenoid might make.

SABMiller to be Sudan's first brewer in 25 years
By Skye Wheeler
JUBA, Sudan (Reuters) - Global brewer SABMiller said it would launch a new lager in south Sudan, the first beer produced there since Islamic law shut down the region's last brewery 25 years ago.
Alcohol was banned in Sudan after the northern Khartoum-based government brought in Sharia law in 1983.
But the country's south won the right to a semi-autonomous secular government in the 2005 peace deal that ended more than two decades of civil war between the mostly Muslim north and the mostly Christian and animist south.
"We will not only be consuming but producing alcohol. It's a serious political message of one country, two systems," the south's agriculture minister Samson Kwaje told Reuters at the SABMiller launch Tuesday.
He said he did not think the introduction of a new beer in South Sudan would aggravate already tense relations between Khartoum and the south's capital Juba.
Nigel Fairbrass, spokesman for London-based SABMiller, said the as-yet unnamed beer would be produced in a new plant in Juba, part of an ongoing investment that has cost the company $37 million.
The company became convinced there would be a strong market for a south Sudanese brand after seeing the amount of SABMiller beer the region was importing from Uganda, he added.
The company said its subsidiary Southern Sudan Beverages Limited would employ 250 people once the beer was launched in February, and also would produce soft drinks. Continued...

Whoopi Goldberg, who has hosted the Oscars four times, felt that Anne Hathaway and James Franco missed the mark as hosts.
Barbara Walters said, "I thought she was very good. But there were some moments that made you go, 'What?'"
Said Goldberg on The View today: "You've got to get people who understand a live show. The first few minutes of that show is yours. You have to recognize two things. You have to recognize -- like after Melissa Leo said that word -- ... when things happen like that, you have to be able to come and lift the audience out of their shock and move the show forward. I felt like last night there was no one in charge."
Goldberg said again that she would host the show with Billy Crystal, but she realizes that's not exactly young and hip.
She continued: "I understand what they were trying to do. There are enough young performers out there who could have filled in the gaps. I like James Franco a lot. I like Anne Hathaway a lot. But this is a show that, it's on you to keep it going. It's on you. You have to be able to surf in this show. And I didn't think they surfed as much as they could have."

WARMAP - the War memoryscapes in Asia Partnership
Memories of Asia's 20th century wars of imperialism and liberation continue to shape national identities in the region. However, the way regional and global economic integration are impacting on the production of contemporary war memories remains poorly understood. This interdisciplinary research network explores Asia's conflict heritage in a globalized world, focusing on the powerful transnational flows which are challenging, subverting and transforming official discourses of war remembrance. What does the border-crossing movement of tourists, remebrance practices, capital and information, and the rise of non-state heritage players, mean for post-conflict reconciliation in a region still clearly haunted by its past? Funded by the Leverhulme Foundation, and based at the University of Essex, WARMAP brings together scholars from the universities of Konstanz, Wageningen, Kyushu, Deakin, the National University of Singapore and Academia Sinica, as well as heritage practitioners from Europe, Australia and Asia.

Hilary Swank's Big Night at 2012 Met Gala
She always has something special for the paparazzi, and earlier tonight (May 7) Hilary Swank looked amazing at the 2012 Met Ball.
The "Million Dollar Baby" babe showed up at the Metropolitan Museum of Art along with Michael Kors, wearing a gorgeous gown designed by Kors, himself.
The annual fete finds actress Carey Mulligan acting as honorary co-chair alongside designer Miuccia Prada and US Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, while Azealia Banks is lined up to perform.
As for the celebratory occasion, this year's rendition of the Met gala ushers in the 'Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations' exhibition exploring "the striking affinities between Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada, two Italian designers from different eras."
The display is described as being "inspired by Miguel Covarrubias's "Impossible Interviews" for Vanity Fair in the 1930s while featuring "orchestrated conversations between these iconic women to suggest new readings of their most innovative work."

I'm trying to create my own repository, I am using GIT for my source and wish to have my repository download from there - question - why do some host their code on GIT but yet point their xbmc repositories to somewhere else such as google code?
Anyhoo, my git repository is setup here -> https://github.com/Eldorados/eldorado-xbmc-addons
I've followed examples of others that I have found, but I must be missing one small step
My repo addon.xml is here: https://github.com/Eldorados/eldorado-xb.../addon.xml

I have tried flip flopping between using zip files and not, neither have given me any success.. and in the case of using zip files, I am unclear on how to properly do this - does everyone manually zip their addons and commit them? How does the repo know which zip file to download and install?
In the case of not using zips as mine is currently set - my paths are the same as others I have found, and their GIT structure looks identicle.. so what am I missing?

Whether your planning a running session, gym session, sports session
or competitive event then your warm-up ought to be a priority. There
are several reasons for this but at the forefront of your mind should
be injury prevention and joint health.
So here are just a few things to aim for...
Foam Rollers and Self myofascial release tools are readily available
now, see your local lifestyle sports for a range of these. The
internet is flooded with videos on how to use them, but really theyre
quite simple with only a few general rules. The clue is in the name
really, so just use them on soft tissue (muscle), dont cross or put
pressure on your joints. Areas to concentrate on before running are
quads, IT band, calves and feet.
We touched on this before in a previous article, but think about
exercises or movements that will gently take your ankles, hips and
thoracic spine (upper back) through their range of motion. Again a
quick youtube search will see some good examples, but heres a quick
circuit to try at home before you go out, the only equipment youll
need is a wall so no excuses...
1. Wall ankle drills. Stand with one foot about an inch away from the
wall, keep your heel flat on the ground and tap your knee to the wall,
you should feel a gentle stretch at the front of your ankle. Aim for
8-10 repetitions and repeat on the other leg.
2. Leg Swings. Standing upright find something to hold onto at arms
length. Gently swing your leg to a height youre comfortable with.
Keep your upper body posture tight and tall, and try to get the
movement from your hips. You should feel a slight stretch in your
hamstring at the top of the swing. Aim for 10-12 on each leg.
3. Hip Circles. On all fours, start with one leg and take your knee to
your elbow, out to the side and then straight back, creating as big a
circle as you can. Try to keep your spine solid and straight and get
the movement from your hip. Aim for 10-12 repetitions on each side and
repeat with the other leg.
4. Thoracic Rotations. In the same position as above on all fours,
take one hand and place it gently on the back of your head, keeping
your hand there touch your elbow to elbow and then rotate the opposite
direction towards the ceiling with as much rotation as possible. Turn
your head in the same direction and try to get the movement through
your mid back. Aim for 10-12 on either side.
Repeat those exercises in a circuit fashion two or three times.
When you think about your dynamic warm-up above, gradually increase
the intensity as you move through it, a good rule of thumb is that you
should have a light sweat as you finish them.
This is something that many dont consider, but while youre making
your way through all these its time to switch yourself on for your
task ahead. Think about your workout or session and walk yourself
through it in your mind.
There you go, a few quick ideas to help guide you through a warm-up,
once youve finished those start into your run with a gentle walk,
long strides or gentle lunges before you take your intensity
up....trust me, your body will thank you later having done a good

- More about Scanpan
Scanpan has been a leading European manufacturer of cast-aluminum nonstick cookware for more than 50 years. To ensure quality, the company casts and coats all of its nonstick aluminum products at its own factory in Ryomgård, Denmark. Reflecting the Danish company's progressive commitment to environmental sustainability, the cookware is made of 100% recycled aluminum with ceramic nonstick coatings that are free of PFOA and PFOS chemicals. The patented ceramic-titanium nonstick surface is ten times harder than stainless steel. Each pan is squeeze-casted into shape using 250 tons of pressure, which eliminates hot spots and ensures even cooking.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JM49 from Fantastic Roasting Pan This is a fantastic roasting pan in al respects. It is a perfect size, weight and shape (both the medium and large roasters), conducts heat as well as any roaster I have used and cleans up beautifully. This is the equal of even the most expensive French or All Clad roasting pans - which I also own.Date published: 2015-12-16Rated 5 out of 5 by SueSue2 from Always happy with Scanpan I've used Scanpan frypans for over 15 years and they still cook and clean up very well. I recently replaced my Calphalon grill pan and my roaster with Scanpan and wish I had years ago. Although Calphalon cooks as well as Scanpan, Scanpan cleans up so much more easily. Until now, my Calphalon roaster sat unused for so many years while I used a disposable aluminum roaster or my stainless pan wrapped with aluminum foil. Fortunately, I have friends and family that want my old kitchenware so my Calphalon does not go to waste. PS. Williams-Sonoma's price for this Roaster is considerably better than at other websites.Date published: 2014-04-26

Upgraded Angel Eye HID Install (pics)
After reading several threads in the 7 series and other forum areas on angel eye upgrades (most notably this one
, Special thanks to FalconFlyer for the install guide and comments) I jumped on the bandwagon. i went with the HID upgrade from alpine MSS, though i was strongly considering the LUX LED's. In the end the brightness of the HID install sold me. On the last few posts of that thread above, it appears there may be some longevity issues with the relays and if the lights go out it sounds like you need to switch the system off or it overheats... I am a little uncomfortable, and have been checking my wires weekly.
Anyways, I am very happy with the resulting look of the upgrade. I know there are a few threads bragging about 20 min installs, but it took me just over an hour to get everything in and the cables tied down. I had an extremely hard time on my X6 getting my hand in to plug in the light bulb and get the cable grommet set the cap. I went with the 7k bulb color, which I am happy with. To my eyes the 8k tinged a bit to blue relative to the headlight color. Even the photos below appear a bit more blue than what I perceive in person. These are bright enough to reflect in the paint of the car in front of you during mid-day.
Attached are some pics (first time posting photos, so....), these were taken early evening in the shade.
A before, after from a couple angles, and side by side with one done.

Behind the full golden color you'll find an alluring aroma, a dynamic complex of flavors, Belgian flair, Brooklyn fortitude and a dusting of our special yeast. To create this beer, we used the old technique of 100% bottle refermentation a practice now rare even in Europe. It gives this beer a palate of unusual depth.

text: blog postsA literal paradox: "literally" generally means 'figuratively'Oct 27, 2010 5:45 pm4022 views The English language is full of paradoxes, like the fact that "literally" pretty much always means 'figuratively.' Other words mean their opposites as well--"scan" means both 'read closely' and 'skim.' "Restive" originally meant 'standing still' but now it often means 'antsy.' "Dust" can mean 'to sprinkle with dust' and 'to remove the dust from something.' "Oversight" means both looking closely at something and ignoring it. "Sanction" sometimes means 'forbid,' sometimes, 'allow.' And then there's "ravel," which means 'ravel, or tangle' as well as its opposite, 'unravel,' as when Macbeth evokes "Sleepe that knits up the rauel'd Sleeue of Care."A million English words, or only 600,000? Either way, it's a language packed with more words than you'll ever needJul 8, 2008 9:30 pm2330 views Paul Payack, professional word-counter and the founder of Global Language Monitor and yourdictionary.com, claims that someone coins an English word every 98 minutes, which seems pretty fast until we consider that during the word-coining frenzy of the 1590s, when the pace of life was slower, about 10,000 new words popped up every year. If Shakespeare and his contemporaries never slept, that comes to a neologism every 52 minutes. With more than 326 million native speakers of English today, and only 2 million in 1600, today's neologism-per-person rate is only a fraction of what it was 400 years ago. Given our perception that the pace of life has increased dramatically since the Renaissance, this suggests that while there are in fact more words in English now than there used to be, we have a lot less time to coin them (neologism, a word, coined in France in the 1730s and borrowed by English in the 1770s, meaning 'a new word'; Renaissance, a mid-19th century word meaning the European revival of arts and letters of the 14th - 16th centuries). A modest proposal: Don't make English official, ban it insteadMar 2, 2007 9:45 am2600 views Once again the House of Representatives is considering legislation to make English the official language of the United States. Supporters of the measure say that English forms the glue that keeps America together. They deplore the dollars wasted translating English into other languages. And they fear a horde of illegal aliens adamantly refusing to acquire the most powerful language on earth.A new pronoun. Again?Nov 28, 2006 11:15 am1977 views There's a new gender-neutral pronoun in town. Hu – an epicene replacement for he and she –has been in the news, but so far it's not on many people's tongues, and while hu has appeared in print, it's not likely to catch on any time soon. Most of our pronouns are gender-neutral: I, you, we,they, me, our, them, us,it. But there are two exceptions: he and she. Normally this is not a problem, since he and she are incredibly useful words. But sometimes the lack of an epicene third-person pronoun causes us to produce sentences like these: (1) Everyone loves his mother. (2) Everyone loves their mother. (3) Everyone loves his or her mother. A panda walks into a bar, or, why language self-help books help nobodyFeb 14, 2007 5:52 pm1437 views Americans are convinced that theres a right and a wrong way to write something. We gleefully point out other peoples language mistakes, though many of us secretly worry that given half a chance, wed use who when we should be using whom, or put the comma in the wrong place. So we buy books to find the answer.A portrait of the selfieNov 24, 2013 4:45 pm3065 views Oxford Dictionaries has picked selfie as its 2013 Word of the Year (WOTY). Announcing your word of the year in mid-November guarantees a lot of attention from journalists and late-night TV comics, but it also suggests that not much is going to happen, linguistically, in the six weeks that remain in 2013. The Web of Language won't make its annual WOTY pick until late December, and the American Dialect Society makes its announcement in early January. Nevertheless, judging from the attention it has gotten, selfie seems a good choice.A spelling reformer writes to Mr. LincolnJun 5, 2009 12:45 am32398 views In 1859, a Methodist minister named A. B. Pikard wrote two letters to former senator Abraham Lincoln -- Lincoln had lost his seat to Stephen Douglas in 1858 -- protesting the inhumanity of the fugitive slave laws. Its no surprise to find a northern abolitionist minister opposing the return of runaway slaves to the masters theyd escaped. But a minister who uses the phonetic alphabet to argue that the practice is both immoral and unconstitutional, well that is unusual.Afghan government reaches impasse: can't decide whether to use the Pashtu or the Dari word for 'university'Aug 12, 2008 11:15 pm1974 views This week, as Afghanistan continued to outpace Iraq in the two countries' olympic race toward self-destruction, the Loya Jirga, or Afghan parliament, debated whether to use pohantun, the Pashtu word for 'university,' or daneshgah, the Dari word, in the new higher education law. Delegates also argued over which of the nation's two official languages should be used in class. Pashtu, the majority language, is spoken in most of the country by the Pashtun, the traditional rulers of Afghanistan. Dari, related to Farsi, or Persian, is used mostly by those in the country's northwest who live closer to the Iran border. A reporter for a state-run newspaper was recently fined for using the Dari word for 'university' instead of the Pashtu one which is on Kabul University's official seal.All bloggers are liarsOct 19, 2006 8:58 am1741 views The Cretan philosopher Epimenides is famous for his paradoxical statement, All Cretans are liars. The paradox is pretty clear. If hes from Crete and tells you that Cretans lie, then his statement is itself a lie. But if hes lying when he says that Cretans are liars, then.... As Gilbert and Sullivan put it, a paradox, a paradox, a most ingenious paradox.All hail goddess English?Nov 4, 2010 11:00 pm3430 views Global English may be about to go celestial. A political activist in India wants the country's poorest caste to improve its status by worshipping the English language, and to start off he's building a temple to Goddess English in the obscure village of Bankagaon, near Lakhimpur Khiri in Uttar Pradesh.Amazon Fail 2.0: Bookseller's Big Brother removes Orwell's Big Brother from Kindles everywhereJul 18, 2009 12:45 am1840 views In a move worthy of George Orwell's Big Brother, Amazon.com sent its thought police into Kindles everywhere to erase copies of "1984" and "Animal Farm."Amazon Sales Rank: I'm being outsold by a book on tattoosSep 24, 2009 1:45 pm1953 views My book "A Better Pencil" came out this month from Oxford University Press. It's not my first book, but it's the first one I've published since the internet went viral. Because my book is about the impact of computers and the 'Net on how we read and write, I checked the World Wide Web to see how the book was doing.America's War on LanguageSep 3, 2014 6:30 pm15199 views It's the centennial of America's entry into World War I, time to take a closer look at one of its offshoots, America's little-known War on Language The United States declared war on Germany on April 7, 1917. In addition to sending troops to fight in Europe, Americans waged war on the language of the enemy at home. German was the second most commonly-spoken language in America, and banning it seemed the way to stop German spies cold. Plus, immigrants had always been encouraged to switch from their mother tongue to English to signal their assimilation and their acceptance of American values. Now speaking English became a badge of patriotism as well, a way to prove that you were not a spy. The war on language was fought on two fronts, one legal, the other, in the schools. Its impact was immediate and long-lasting. German was the target, but the other "foreign" tongues suffered collateral damage. Immigrant languages in America went into decline, and there was a precipitous drop in the study of foreign languages in US schools as well. An inconvenient tweet: it's against the law in EnglandJun 5, 2013 10:15 pm872 views At least six people have been arrested in England for tweets about the recent terrorist killing of a British soldier, and they're only the latest tweeters to be punished because some tweets, in England, are against the law. In 2012, 653 Brits faced criminal charges because they crossed the line in one way or another while using social media. The First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees free speech. Espionage, obscenity, and fighting words are not protected, along with certain kinds of commercial speech. You can't conspire with the enemy, shout fire in a crowded theater, lie about a product you are selling, or broadcast obscenity or profanity over the airwaves during hours when children might be in the audience. Other than that, anyone can say just about anything online or off, and the law will look the other way. But England has no free-speech guarantees. The English Communications Act makes it illegal for the 6.6 million active tweeters in the U.K, to tweet anything grossly offensive, obscene, or menacing. But it's also against British law to send any electronic communication "for the purpose of causing annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety to another." In England, it is illegal to send an inconvenient tweet.An M.A. in Facebook: now you can earn academic credit and avoid schoolwork at the same timeApr 1, 2009 10:45 pm1292 views Birmingham City University, in England, is offering a Masters degree in Facebook and Twitter. Students can now pay £4000 (about $6000) to earn credit for doing what they normally do to avoid schoolwork.

Before boarding a plane for Portland to face Wichita State in the second round of the NCAA tournament, VCU made one final preparation. Coach Shaka Smart had his players gather around a posterboard of a four-team bracket. On one side, VCU vs. Wichita State, on the other, New Mexico State vs. Indiana. The end result has VCU victorious and in the Sweet 16. Each member of the Rams team signed the bracket, uniting for the common goal. A 62-59 opening victory over Wichita State would indicate that goal is being realized.
It isn't the first time Smart has used a bracket to motivate his players. Ahead of the CAA tournament, with VCU on the NCAA bubble, Smart trotted out a CAA bracket. After going the distance, and winning the CAA title over Drexel (breaking the Dragons 19-game winning streak in the process), VCU's senior catalyst Bradford Burgess suggested they use the bracket again.
Burgess is the lone returning starter from the Rams team that reached last year's Final Four, and has picked up right where he left off, dropping 16 points, 5 rebounds, and 4 assists against Wichita State.
Next up for No. 12 VCU is No. 4 Indiana Saturday in Portland, Ore., (7:10 p.m. ET, TBS). You can bet the board will be making the trip.
