Within just one issue of a news report I receive each day by e-mail, there were four stories that, in a weird but common way, related to one another.
As we've agreed in these spaces, everything is related to everything else in this nation, this world, and indeed in this universe. You can't be fighting one battle without acknowledging that there are going to be other battles that will then need your attention. Sadly, what that usually means is that while you are fighting a battle to try to restore some measure of justice and fairness to America, some small minded and humorless group is off trying to pass what I have often termed "distraction" legislation.
Consider, if you will.
Today, Thursday April 6, there is reported the story of one Rob Booker, a former Army National Guard member who served his nation during the unnecessary Gulf War. For the last two years, Rob and his family have been trying to qualify for veteran's benefits in hopes of getting medical attention to assist in his battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, better known both as ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease.
Rob has had no success in gaining such care since, in almost every single instance, any disease that a Gulf War veteran acquired and asked the VA for help with was routinely denied as being "non-service related". What this simple little two word denial truly means is that the VA does not have to prove that he didn't get the disease during his duty in the Middle East but that Rob and all of the other veterans must prove that they did. Naturally, that is usually impossible for someone without the financial means to wage such a battle as well as lacking the physical health to do so.
Instead of simply opening the doors of the VA hospitals based solely on the fact that Rob and the hundreds of thousands of other Americans like him risked their lives and futures in order to assure Corporate America a continuation of the cheap oil it desired, the VA has now chosen to conduct a "study" to see if the incidence of Gehrig's disease is greater within Gulf War veterans than in the population as a whole. How very sweet of them, wouldn't you say? I mean, conducting a study to see if those who are dying, or who have already died, should have been covered by veteran's benefits?
At one point, Rob was advised by a VA representative to go back to his civilian doctor and have him alter his diagnosis to one that was covered by the VA. As Rob's wife Lynn Booker said, "We didn't even bother. No doctor is going to change a diagnosis and set himself up for malpractice."
Well, the reality of this situation is that in late March, the VA finally agreed to treat Rob's disease at one of their hospitals. Sadly, that small offer came a bit late since Rob Booker had died in February, just short of a month earlier.
Gentle readers, the reality is that all of our children and young adults who we send off to protect Corporate America's overseas interests have been treated in this vile manner since the Korean War. This nation's government cannot praise their military men and women quickly nor loudly enough when it's time to send them off to murder other human beings in another of their idiotic and usually completely avoidable wars but cannot forget or outright ignore them fast enough once they return and ask for assistance from that same nation and government.
Men and women returned from Korea to a nation which hardly understood why they were fighting so far away and who tried to ignore the scars that these brave men and women brought home with them.
When we sent our children off to the jungles of Vietnam, no one in the public truly understood why we were there nor could they even find Vietnam on a map if their lives depended on it. When the children and true progressives back in the "world" began to see just how unnecessary and wasteful of lives that the "war" truly was, they began to fight and march and demand a return to sanity and an end to the madness that this horrendous war was proving to be. That left the returning men and women, some obviously physically disabled but so many more emotionally and spiritually destroyed, to be welcomed back either with cries of "baby killer" from the unthinking youths or to be ignored by the older generations because they were embarrassed with their lack of knowledge about what was happening in and to their own nation.
When these children began dying from their wounds or their exposure to Agent Orange or to commit suicide at a rate beyond anything ever witnessed in this nation (but completely covered up by the military and the conservative movements that culminated in the horrors of the Reagan Revolution), nothing was done, When evidence mounted that Agent Orange, in particular, was causing untold suffering and even terrible birth defects in the children of our veterans, nothing was done. Once thousands of Americans had already died or taken their own lives from the emotional and physical pain, the government set up "studies" and delayed and delayed and delayed. It wasn't until nearly twenty years after the fact that the government finally admitted the many, many diseases directly attributable to Agent Orange, described as the most toxic chemical ever devised by mankind, was "service related" and finally agreed to list the veterans suffering from them as being eligible for treatment at VA hospitals.
Now, we have the brave men and women who fought another unnecessary and destructive "war" who are again being treated with the same shameful and mean spirited ignorance. Again, it has become a situation where the sick must prove the causes of their illnesses rather than having this nation stand up proudly and offer that medical attention to them simply because these fine Americans had answered a call for duty and had acquitted themselves with utmost honor and bravery. There need never to be anymore compelling reason than that to give these people exactly what they need and deserve.
What does Congress and the nation seem to find so much more compelling than saving the lives of our men and women who so proudly served this nation?
Well, our vaunted Congress is busy passing another law for a problem that exists only in the tiny minds of the Religious Right (a true oxymorn) but is of little or no significance to any but the most uninformed. The Republican-controlled House today again passed the so-called "Partial Birth Abortion Ban". Now, understand that I term it the "so-called" because you will never find in any medical dictionary or medical reports or medical studies any reference to a "partial birth abortion". The phrase exists only in the warped and nearly empty minds of the Religious and Rabid Right (but there I go again, repeating myself).
In fact, even the Right cannot point to any exact instance where the procedure, itself, has been used for any reason whatsoever except to save the woman's life.
Of course, when one spends a moment thinking clearly about the entire abortion debate from the Republican point of view, it nearly makes a sick kind of sense. Consider the following steps of reasoning that the Republicans undoubtedly follow; First, women who vote tend to vote for Democrats since Democrats usually offer the more caring approach to legislation concerning women and families. Therefore, if the woman's life is endangered by the pregnancy, the Republicans only lose a probable member of the opposing party if she dies during birth. Also, once the woman is forced to deliver the child and then dies in the process, then the odds are fifty-fifty that the child will be a boy, perhaps a boy who will grow into a white, rich, pasty white member of the Republican Party. If the baby is a girl, then the Republican Party can only hope that she, like her mother, becomes ill due to a pregnancy and the cycle can continue.
Too cynical? Probably not cynical enough, if you ask me.
What other topic might hold the attention of our elected officials, something that can help them to ignore the cries from the sick and dying veterans?
Well, Oklahoma's House of Representatives has decided that they can force the children of that state to ignore reality and any level of scientific proof and to require that only myth, magic and miracles be taught in public schools. That's right, gentle readers, these idiots have now mandated that the children of that backwater state must now be taught "that human life was created by one God of the universe."
Oh, to be a biology teacher in this third world state. I would offer to my students the fact that this is now all that I can offer; that the myths and stories of the Babylonians and Sumarians that were plagiarized and included in the bible have somehow acquired the status of "truth". Very well, I would continue, which one God are we now allowed to discuss? Is it the one that the Christians and Jews worship and which among the many interpretations of that God by those two fractured religions is admissable in this school? Could it be the Buddha? How about the tortoise that some American Indian tribes believed brought the universe into being? How about the other tribes in America who credit the raven or the coyote or the bear? Some believe that the universe sprang into being through the exhortations of a group of Gods who had one of greater power than the others? Could that one be the one and only?
Get real, folks. Whatever religion you follow and whatever relational somersaults you have to put yourself through in order to believe in the imaginary is an exercise fully protected by our magnificent Constitution. What is often termed the "Separation of Church and State", but is more aptly termed "Freedom From Religion" is all that has kept this nation from degrading into just another nation governed by fanatics and religious murderers who gleefully torture and murder anyone with the termidity to ask if, just perhaps, we should employ the scientific methods instead of blindly following the "ONE TRUE RELIGION", a religion that changes from nation to nation and even within each nation from absolute religious leader to the next absolute religious leader who had the first absolute religious leader killed because he didn't enforce the right religious laws that the second thought more important.
Gentle readers, this nation is too easily distracted from what is truly important and too easily focused on the place that myth, magic and miracles should play in our once intelligent national debate. This nation is too easily fooled into believing that an unbelievably rare medical procedure is of any danger whatever to our national psyche. Both of these acts are the acts of cowards. Cowards because the Right has no real agenda that might prove beneficial to this nation and its inhabitants. Cowards because all the Republican Party is able to focus on is either insane posturing while destroying what was once good and decent about America or offering up completely unnecessary legislation whose only purpose is to create a generation of illiterate and unthinking adults who believe, not in truth or reality, but only in the unseen and unseeable and unknowable and unprovable and unnecessary.
As a veteran and victim of this nation's ignorance, I kindly offer the Right the following suggestion - you can all go to Hell.

Welcome to your go-to Guild Wars 2 Gold Guide!
First off let me apologize for my absence from this blog. I have been struggling with internet problems for a week! Still not perfect but at least my land line is working (wireless on the fritz). Comcast can't seem to lock down the issue, but I'll get posts out as best I can! I already have about 100 emails to get through... so please don't be upset if I'm late responding. You can sign up for the newsletter on the right of the screen for more frequent tips while I get things back to normal.
Here's an email from someone who recently struck it rich:
"Hi Markco,
thank you for your incredibly helpful blog as well as email tips.
Now I do have a specific question though. I've managed to craft Eternity and sold it for about 4k gold. But I am unsure how I can invest a significant amount (maybe 1-2k gold) to make more money. So far the most I had to flip with was around 400g and even then I sometimes run out of ideas what to invest in / flip. I guess one option would be precursors or directly legendaries, but that seems quite dangerous (?)
I'd appreciate any tips you could give me.
Your blog reader,

Warmer weather brings out bikers
CHP urges caution on roadways
It happens every year. The weather gets warmer and Southern California streets get a little bit more crowded with motorcyclists cruising the coastline and mountain roadways.
To help prevent the number of motorcycle-related collisions, injuries and fatalities from increasing as they typically do during the warmer months, the California Highway Patrol is recognizing the month of May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month and encouraging motorists to drive with caution.
"No matter how you travel on California's roadways, safety should always come first," state CHP Commissioner Joe Farrow said in a press release. "Motorcyclists and drivers both share equal responsibility for roadway safety."
More than 884,000 registered motorcycles and 1.4 million licensed motorcyclists are in California, according to data from the California Department of Motor Vehicles.
And according to preliminary data from the CHP's Statewide Integrated Traffic Records System, 476 motorcyclists were killed in traffic collisions in 2016. More than 14,000 others were injured last year.
In 2015, nearly 500 motorcyclists were killed and more than 13,500 sustained injuries.
For motorcycle riders, following the basic laws of traffic can mean the difference between life and death.
CHP officers urge riders to always use their turn signals, avoid riding in another driver's blind spot and ride sober.
They also advise motorcyclists to wear helmets—as required by law—and protective gear while out on the roads.
But it's also up to drivers sharing the road with motorcyclists to help ensure their safety.
Most multi-vehicle motorcycle collisions are caused by drivers who don't see the bikes, so drivers should always be on the alert for riders and leave plenty of space between their car and a motorcycle on the road, police said.
"With great weather and scenery, California has always been a state where motorcycling for recreation and commuting takes place virtually year-round," Rhonda Craft, state Office of Traffic Safety director, said in a press release. "But both riders and drivers must be constantly aware of the dangers.
"We all have to be mindful of every vehicle around us and share the roadways with safety in mind."
There were 56 motorcycle related accidents in the Moorpark station area in 2016, CHP officer Marco Marin said.
Out of those, 47 involved injuries, six involved property damage, two were hit-and-runs and one resulted in a fatality.
Though Marin said it's difficult to tell whether or not motorcyclists and drivers have made more conscious efforts to drive safely over the years, he's found that law enforcement personnel have made it more of a priority to educate motorists on the importance of roadway safety.
"The awareness and education out there has gotten better than when I first came onto the department," he said.

This won't help add more cup holders but may be helpful for those with older vehicles. I modified my cup holders in my '94 Suburban (they were made for some seriously super small cups.)I purchased 4"-3" plumbing slip fittings. Inserted into the ridiculously small cup holders and this allowed water bottles, and large to extra large fast food cups to fit nicely with added height & width very securely.

"I spent approximately nine months straight in a cell with him, three to eight hours a day sometimes. Bundy was a truly evil person, an exceptionally sick individual and he was a master at playing games. Bundy was the purest classical form of sociopathic personality. His evil was so strong, I was with him on two occasions that I saw physical changes in him. I could smell him. I was seriously afraid of him, and I'm not the type to get afraid. One of the times was when Kimberly Leach was found. He got very weird and very dissociative. He became very irate. He gave off an odor of almost burning carpet. He was just sweating profusely, almost like a chemical scent. He told me about this before. He was aware of it. It was wild, just incredible. I'm not saying this to glamourise Bundy. He was just trash. Bundy told me a lot of things I didn't want to repeat. I don't want to hurt (his victims') families." - Joe Aloi, who worked as an investigator for the circuit public defenders office, describes his former client Ted Bundy's behaviour during their time together.
Source- Ted Bundy: A Visual Timeline by Rob Dielenberg
How I Met Your Mother
About Ted's first escape on June 07, 1977 :
Bundy arrived for a hearing on his motions (He wanted the Utah case suppressed as evidence in the murder trial, the suppression hearing closed and the death penalty ruled unconstitutional). After a 10:30 recess, he was left alone for a few minutes. Bundy paused for a moment by a second-story window and then jumped. Walking so he wouldn't draw attention, Bundy ambled four blocks to the Roaring Fork River. Diving under a bush, he pulled off his turtleneck sweater, changed the part in his hair and then headed back through the center of town. He reached the tree line in fifteen minutes.
For six days, deputies, dogs and helicopters searched for Ted Bundy. Spending the night in the rain, Bundy broke into an empty cabin on Conundrum Creek. He stayed there for twenty-four hours, wolfing down a can of tomato sauce and a box of brown sugar. The morning of the third day, he grabbed a .22 rifle out of the cabin and headed up the creek, hoping to cross the Continental Divide. He took a wrong turn and stumble back to the cabin with a sprained ankle the following evening, passing a civilian armed with a rifle.
"I'm looking for Ted Bundy," the man with the rifle said.
"Good luck," Bundy said.
Discovering that the searchers had been in the cabin, he slept in the brush. Cutting north, he crossed a golf course and found a Cadillac with the keys in the ignition.
Bundy was pulled over as he tried to slip out of the county. A Band-Aid plastered on his nose and a hat pulled low over his eyes, Bundy ducked behind the steering wheel.
"Hi, Ted," Deputy Gene Flatt said.
"Welcome home, Ted" Sheriff Ken Keinsat said when Bundy arrived back at the jail.
"Thank you," Bundy said. - Rolling Stone, December 14, 1978

In November 2016, Stanford University researchers made an alarming discovery: across the US, many students can't tell the difference between a reported news article, a persuasive opinion piece, and a corporate ad. This lack of media literacy makes young people vulnerable to getting duped by "fake news" — which can have real consequences.

Animation by Patrick Smith
Who wrote it? Real news contains the real byline of a real journalist dedicated to the truth. Fake news (including "sponsored content" and traditional corporate ads) does not. Once you find the byline, look at the writer's bio. This can help you identify whether the item you're reading is a reported news article (written by a journalist with the intent to inform), a persuasive opinion piece (written by an industry expert with a point of view), or something else entirely.
Animation by Patrick Smith
What claims does it make? Real news — like these Pulitzer Prize winning articles — will include multiple primary sources when discussing a controversial claim. Fake news may include fake sources, false urls, and/or "alternative facts" that can be disproven through further research. When in doubt, dig deeper. Facts can be verified.
Animation by Martina Meštrović
When was it published? Look at the publication date. If it's breaking news, be extra careful. Use this tipsheet to decode breaking news.
Animation by Augenblick Studios
Where was it published? Real news is published by trustworthy media outlets with a strong fact-checking record, such as the BBC, NPR, ProPublica, Mother Jones, and Wired. (To learn more about any media outlet, look at their About page and examine their published body of work.) If you get your news primarily via social media, try to verify that the information is accurate before you share it. (On Twitter, for example, you might look for the blue "verified" checkmark next to a media outlet name to double-check a publication source before sharing a link.)
Animation by Augenblick Studios
How does it make you feel? Fake news, like all propaganda, is designed to make you feel strong emotions. So if you read a news item that makes you feel super angry, pause and take a deep breath. Then, double-check the item's claims by comparing it to the news on any three of the media outlets listed above — and decide for yourself if the item is real news or fake news. Bottom line: Don't believe everything you read. There is no substitute for critical thinking.

If you get in the habit of asking all 5 of these questions whenever you read a news article, then your basic news literacy skills will start to grow stronger. However, these are just the basics!

It's hard to imagine being unable to turn thoughts into words. But, if the delicate web of language networks in your brain became disrupted by stroke, illness or trauma, you could find yourself truly at a loss for words. This disorder, called "aphasia," can impair all aspects of communication. Approximately 1 million people in the U.S. alone suffer from aphasia, with an estimated 80,000 new cases per year. About one-third of stroke survivors suffer from aphasia, making it more prevalent than Parkinson's disease or multiple sclerosis, yet less widely known.
There are several types of aphasia, grouped into two categories: fluent (or "receptive") aphasia and non-fluent (or "expressive") aphasia.
People with fluent aphasia may have normal vocal inflection, but use words that lack meaning. They have difficulty comprehending the speech of others and are frequently unable to recognize their own speech errors.
People with non-fluent aphasia, on the other hand, may have good comprehension, but will experience long hesitations between words and make grammatical errors. We all have that "tip-of-the-tongue" feeling from time to time when we can't think of a word. But having aphasia can make it hard to name simple everyday objects. Even reading and writing can be difficult and frustrating.
It's important to remember that aphasia does not signify a loss in intelligence. People who have aphasia know what they want to say, but can't always get their words to come out correctly. They may unintentionally use substitutions, called "paraphasias" – switching related words, like saying dog for cat, or words that sound similar, such as house for horse. Sometimes their words may even be unrecognizable.
So, how does this language-loss happen? The human brain has two hemispheres. In most people, the left hemisphere governs language. We know this because in 1861, the physician Paul Broca studied a patient who lost the ability to use all but a single word: "tan." During a postmortem study of that patient's brain, Broca discovered a large lesion in the left hemisphere, now known as "Broca's area." Scientists today believe that Broca's area is responsible in part for naming objects and coordinating the muscles involved in speech. Behind Broca's area is Wernicke's area, near the auditory cortex. That's where the brain attaches meaning to speech sounds. Damage to Wernicke's area impairs the brain's ability to comprehend language. Aphasia is caused by injury to one or both of these specialized language areas.
Fortunately, there are other areas of the brain which support these language centers and can assist with communication. Even brain areas that control movement are connected to language. Our other hemisphere contributes to language too, enhancing the rhythm and intonation of our speech. These non-language areas sometimes assist people with aphasia when communication is difficult.
However, when aphasia is acquired from a stroke or brain trauma, language improvement may be achieved through speech therapy. Our brain's ability to repair itself, known as "brain plasticity," permits areas surrounding a brain lesion to take over some functions during the recovery process. Scientists have been conducting experiments using new forms of technology, which they believe may encourage brain plasticity in people with aphasia.
Meanwhile, many people with aphasia remain isolated, afraid that others won't understand them or give them extra time to speak. By offering them the time and flexibility to communicate in whatever way they can, you can help open the door to language again, moving beyond the limitations of aphasia.

Chances are you've knocked on wood in the past week. But, really, why? Here's one origin story:
Knocking on wood is thought to come from the folklore of the ancient Indo-Europeans, or possibly people who predated them, who believed that trees were home to various spirits.
Touching a tree would invoke the protection or blessing of the spirit within.
And somehow, this tradition has survived long after belief in these spirits had faded away.
What are some other origin stories of knocking on wood that you've heard?

How high can you count on your fingers? It seems like a question with an obvious answer. After all, most of us have ten fingers, or to be more precise, eight fingers and two thumbs. This gives us a total of ten digits on our two hands, which we use to count to ten.
It's no coincidence that the ten symbols we use in our modern numbering system are called digits as well. But that's not the only way to count. In some places, it's customary to go up to twelve on just one hand. How? Well, each finger is divided into three sections, and we have a natural pointer to indicate each one, the thumb. That gives us an easy to way to count to twelve on one hand.
And if we want to count higher, we can use the digits on our other hand to keep track of each time we get to twelve, up to five groups of twelve, or 60.
Better yet, let's use the sections on the second hand to count twelve groups of twelve, up to 144.
That's a pretty big improvement, but we can go higher by finding more countable parts on each hand. For example, each finger has three sections and three creases for a total of six things to count. Now we're up to 24 on each hand.
And using our other hand to mark groups of 24 gets us all the way to 576. Can we go any higher? It looks like we've reached the limit of how many different finger parts we can count with any precision. So let's think of something different.
One of our greatest mathematical inventions is the system of positional notation, where the placement of symbols allows for different magnitudes of value, as in the number 999. Even though the same symbol is used three times, each position indicates a different order of magnitude. So we can use positional value on our fingers to beat our previous record. Let's forget about finger sections for a moment and look at the simplest case of having just two options per finger, up and down. This won't allow us to represent powers of ten, but it's perfect for the counting system that uses powers of two, otherwise known as 'binary'.
In binary, each position has double the value of the previous one, so we can assign our fingers values of 1, 2, 4, 8…all the way up to 512. And any positive integer, up to a certain limit, can be expressed as a sum of these numbers. For example, the number seven is 4+2+1. So we can represent it by having just these three fingers raised. How high an we go now? That would be the number with all ten fingers raised, or 1,023. Is it possible to go even higher? It depends on how dexterous you feel! If you can bend each finger just halfway, that gives us three different states -down, half bent, and raised. Now, we can count using a base-three positional system, up to 59,048. And if you can bend your fingers into four different states or more, you can get even higher. That limit is up to you, and your own flexibility and ingenuity.
Even with our fingers in just two possible states, we're already working pretty efficiently. In fact, our computers are based on the same principle. Each microchip consists of tiny electrical switches that can be either on or off, meaning that base-two is the default way they represent numbers. And just as we can use this system to count past 1,000 using only our fingers, computers can perform billions of operations just by counting off 1's and 0's.
From the TED-Ed Lesson How high can you count on your fingers? (Spoiler: much higher than 10) - James Tanton
Animation by TED-Ed
Ted the Animator: "Wait… how come for a couple frames in the middle, the background goes backwards?"
Carl the Animator: "The fabric of the time-space continuum fractured, causing their timestream to temporarily run in reverse."
Ted the Animator: "…or, you just forgot what direction they were going."
Carl the Animator: "Yeah, that too."

Franchising and distribution arrangements continue to be increasingly important elements of our global economy. Many brands that are global household names today achieved their success through master franchisees and distributors who bring established products, services and customer experiences to international markets.
McMillan's Litigation Group understands that franchising and distribution arrangements are different from other types of business relationships. We also know that when dealing with potentially hundreds of franchisees and distributors, disputes are bound to arise. When they do, McMillan zealously represents our clients' interests.
The litigators of our Franchise and Distribution Group have extensive experience representing clients in all manner of franchising and distribution disputes, from defending claims for breaches of franchise legislation and resisting injunctions designed to restrain terminations to enforcing non-competition clauses against, and recovering inventory and payments from, former franchisees/distributors.
We represent some of the largest franchisors and suppliers operating in Canada—both domestic and international.

It's Feel Good Friday! Here are some things that made us feel good this week:
We've spent the week in Nashville, TN. It's been great working in Music City. We'll post a TGS Travels blog soon with details from the trip.
We got to visit our friend, Mickey Guyton, in the studio. She's recording her debut album, and we can't wait for y'all to hear it. You can listen to her EP here.
We visited our friend, Joanna, owner of The Kind Cake, at the Whole Foods Farmer's market in Green Hills. Any day we get to eat Kind Cakes is a good day!
We got to Skype Claire, one of our interns. She is studying abroad in China and doing really well. It was great to hear from her and discuss some new projects!
Take care and have a great weekend!

Always Watching, Wazowski
Which translates in my living room as this:
Still good, I think. (Yes, I was watching CBS Sunday Morning, aka "Old People News." Shutup.)
I went to Sears, which while not as flashy as Best Buy, is still a little better than BJs. Seriously, I considered getting my TV from the same place that provides my pallets of Diet Coke and giant tubs of hummus. A deal's a deal, whether or not you can eat it.
However, the BJ's TV was a weird brand whose name I can't even recall now. Sears was offering an RCA, whose mascot reminds me of (what's the story?) Wishbone.
Though some people tell me the new TV is "only" 32 inches, I prefer to think of it as being "ZOMG" 32 inches. The last time I had a TV this large was…never. Plus, it's hooked up to a laptop so I can watch DVDs, internet media, and torrents. O.o
Until my mom moves here this August (yes, did I mention that?), I find myself in a two-TV situation. I suppose I could set up a situation room in my apartment. Hmm.

The French striker is close to full fitness after recovering from a broken leg but is expected to start on the bench.
Cisse made an impact when he came on as a substitute in last week's first leg and Riise is predicting a crucial cameo tonight.
He said: "Cisse is not fully fit to play a whole game but he can come on in the last half hour and put some pace up front like he did in the first leg. He can make the difference as we need to score."
Riise is also hoping that the home supporters will have a part to play.
The Anfield roar contributed to Liverpool's stirring 2-1 first leg win over Juventus in the quarter-finals and Riise believes that Chelsea could be similarly intimidated. He said: "It's going to be a great atmosphere. Our fans are going to be up for it and so are the players. It should be a great European night again."
With a score draw good enough for Chelsea to progress to their first Champions League final the onus is on Liverpool to make the running, but Riise is predicting another tight game.
He said: "Chelsea played well tactically and they know now they can come to Anfield and just score one goal and they are through. It is going to be a close game.
"Everyone knows about their record away from home. They are strong defensively, don't concede many goals and they score a lot. We are going to need mental strength because it is going to be tough.
"Chelsea are a strong team but so are we and, hopefully, we will come out on top."

I have a bunch of projects that I need to paint. Usually I just put a drop cloth on the floor of my shop but I am usually left with a cloud of spray paint hanging in the air and the overspray gets on everything. I finally decided to make a paint booth to keep the shop clean. Unfortunately I do not have a lot of room so I designed a folding paint booth that can be easily stored when not in use.
This is a relatively cheap project. The box fan was free and the plastic sheet and filter were about $30. You could always substitute cardboard for the coroplast and make it even cheaper.
NOTE: The motors on most fans are not sealed and could ignite paint fumes. Vent properly, use a sealed motor, or use only with water-based paints.
- 4' x 8' sheet of coroplast (corrugated plastic)
- Box fan
- 20" x 20" x 1" HVAC filter
- Duct tape
- Industrial strength velcro
- wood or steel rod
- Razor
- Straight edge
- awl or nail
Step 1: Prep the Fan
We want the filter on the back of the fan where the air is sucked in. Remove the protective grille from the back of the fan to get the best air flow and remove any obstructions for the filter. My power cord was routed out the back of the fan so I rerouted it out the front.
Step 2: Measure and Cut
My pattern is based on a box fan with a 18.25" opening and designed to give about a 36 x 29" working area. You can adjust the dimensions to fit your fan/space.
Layout your cut and fold lines on the coroplast with a pencil. Use a razor to cut it out. To help the parts fold, I cut along the fold lines through the outer layer of the coroplast on the outside of the folds.
Step 3: Add Velcro and Assemble
Add the velcro strips to the tabs. Fold and assemble everything to make sure it all fits as planned.
Step 4: Attach to the Fan
Line the funnel up with the fan. Use an awl or nail to punch holes in the funnel where the screws for the cover go. Use the original screws from the cover to attach the funnel to the fan. The extra flap on the base goes under the fan. Use duct tape to seal the funnel to the fan.
Step 5: Add the Filter
Use the duct tape to secure the filter in place. Make sure to seal the edges completely so no air/paint can leak past the filter.
Step 6: Add Bar
I drilled a hole on either side and inserted a 3/8" steel rod. This gives me an easy place to hang parts as they are painted.
Step 7: Test
Fire up the fan and check your airflow. You can see this plastic bag is sucked securely to the filter. During my first test with paint I hung a clean piece of paper behind the fan. There was not a hint of paint spray on it when I was done. The filter caught all of the overspray.
Step 8: Use, Fold, Stiore
Your spray booth is ready to use. Keep in mind this filter only collects the particulates in the air. It does not eliminate fumes. Always paint in a well-ventilated area or wear a respirator if needed. When you are done, pull apart the velcro tabs, fold it up, and store it out of the way. Now my shop stays cleaner and I find myself painting more often now that I don't have to worry about the mess or wait for perfect weather outside.

Dungeons & Dragons: Daggerdale
Will this be a real multiplayer rpg for 360?
I mean will it be able to handle my character & my friends character with our own stats instead of a preselected character that can-not level up or such nonsense
obaerga - 6 years ago
Top Voted Answer
Yes, you can even use the same character (two halfing mages b.e) the enemies scale depending on all players levels and drops as well. any character you level up in single player can be used in MP as well with your friend and their own things.
Silver803 - 6 years ago
From what I've seen it is another diablo clone
jedidave - 6 years ago
Yes. You will keep your own loot and experience if you join a friend to play online. Though I am unsure if it will allow multiple of the same character.
Bowlgnasandwich - 6 years ago
The level up system is works very well at letting you customize how you want to play. Each time you level up you are given 2 points to buy new abilities, 2 points to spend on stats, and 1 point to spend on a "perk" like melee attack power drawing from intelligence instead of strength. Turn a mage into a tank.

I'm a 14 year old girl who joined Level Ground Mixed Martial Arts in May 2015. Level Ground has had a great impact on my life ever since then. From the first day, feeling like I couldn't do jujitsu but the support was so high, there was no way that "can't" could even slip out my mouth. The encouragement made me love it but the advice, the laughter, and determination made me come back over and over again. I'd never seen myself doing Mixed Martial Arts in a million years but I wanted to try something new for a change. Before Level Ground I used to get into a lot of trouble by hanging with the wrong people at wrong times and it wasn't getting me anywhere in life, it wasn't helping me grow at all. My old mindset wasn't like how it is today. I didn't really care about how anyone felt about me because I didn't care for myself. I was not only hurting myself but the people around me and it was like when I came to Level Ground they helped me grow and see things more clearly. The love they have for one another taught me that it's okay to be happy and be loved. Getting on those mats helps me release the pain and anger and allows me to enjoy being myself and being here is like being with family. -M., age 14

|[jira] [Commented] (MATH-786) "hashCode" in "Pair" class
|Mon, 07 May 2012 11:09:54 GMT
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-786?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13269529#comment-13269529 ] Gilles commented on MATH-786: ----------------------------- bq. Do you have a use case at hand that requires this change? It's an optimization suggested by a developer who works with maps. I have no idea how much gain it provides; but it seems that for an application that calls "hashCode" a lot, that might be useful... I don't understand why you call it "premature" optimization. If the Javadoc states that the correct behaviour is up to the user, I don't see any real problem; we have other cases where a flag indicates that a reference is stored, and if the user does something he shouldn't, the same "problems" will be created. What I propose seems the perfect compromise between always assuming immutable (the two Seb's opinion) and never optimize "hashCode" (your opinion). The default being no optimization so that users are not bitten by surprise. Shall I apply the change? > "hashCode" in "Pair" class > -------------------------- > > Key: MATH-786 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MATH-786 > Project: Commons Math > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.0 > Reporter: Gilles > Assignee: Gilles > Priority: Trivial > Fix For: 3.1 > > > Since "Pair" is supposed to be an immutable class, couldn't we cache the "hashCode" value at construction? That would supposedly make it more efficient when used in maps. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

The sporting event of the year returns this summer to Valencia. Tomorrow the city will be holding the motor-world's main event: Formula 1. A spectacular urban circuit, more than 5 kilometers long with 25 curves, will convert Valencia into the perfect stage for the world's best pilots.
The roar of engines, exclusive designs, spectacular curves, the port… this is Formula 1, this is Valencia. It's time to come on board the sporting event of the year.
The Circuit
The circuit where the Formula 1 Telefonica Grand Prix of Europe will be held is a street circuit around the Juan Carlos 1 Marina, which was the base for the 32nd America's Cup, the most important sailing competition in the world.
The layout will also enter in the area currently undergoing expansion from the city itself towards the port area and will link two of the great maritime avenues.
Under these premises a layout that guarantees the safety of the participants was created, that would not disrupt normal life of the local population too much, that would be completely sustainable and that would have a careful impact of the wellbeing of the Valencians.
With that in mind, the circuit will be set up and taken down on avenues and streets for conventional use and will be surfaced according to the indications of the International Automobile Federation.
Track layout
The Valencia Street Circuit is framed by the Grao area and more specifically will pass through the inner docks of the port and around the streets of the future neighbourhood that will eventually be built between the railway track, the port and the old bed of the River Turia.
Despite being a street track, its specifications and safety are the same as at a permanent track. The track length is nearly five and a half kilometres long and the width will be at least 14 metres wide including two hard shoulders of asphalt agglomerate identical to those of the track, each a metre wide on each side. Likewise runoff zones will be accounted for on the turns.
The asphalt surface that will be used will be made up of modified bitumen with strong resistance to horizontal traction as applied to the surfaces of racing tracks. It will also have the usual drainage systems and in difference to the rest of the city streets it will not have any manhole or drain covers.
The Track
Total track length: 5,419 km / 3,367 miles
Laps in a race: 57
Distance in a race: 308,883 km (191,919 miles)
Fastest lap in a race: 1:38.683 (Timo Glock, 2009) 197,688 km/h
Fastest lap: 1:37.587 (Sebastian Vettel, 2011) 199,908 km/h
Estimated maximum speed: 315 km/h
Estimated minimum speed: 50 km/h
DRS areas: 2
Length of Pit Lane: 657 metres
Minimum width on home straight: 15 metres
Minimum width on rest of track: 12 metres
Turns: 25
Left turns: 11
Right turns: 14

>> OPENING WORDS FROM THE EDITORBy Colin Vassallo, [Editor@...]
OK for those of you who didn't scroll down to the very end of the
newsletter yesterday, the whole issue was fake, an April Fool's joke.
Yes, even Clevett quitting was fake. Some were fooled, some weren't!
Hey, you can't always please everyone! But anyway, all the news from
yesterday newsletter was just made up for the special occasion.
Pre-Order the WrestleMania XX triple DVD disc set now!

> TORRIE ON DIVAS MAG COVER ALREADY- W-O Newsletter reader Anthony Silva sent in word that the new Divas
2004 Magazine is already on sale with Torrie Wilson on the cover.
Interesting enough WWE.COM was still accepting votes for the cover, with
finalists Torrie and Gail Kim. The issue is supposed to hit the
newsstands on April 20th nationwide but it looks like certain locations
already have it on sale.
> WWE IN MEXICO TOMORROW- WWE will be heading to Mexico tomorrow for the first time with a show
in Monterrey. Smackdown! Superstars Rey Mysterio and Chavo Guerrero will
be on the card as well as a special attraction. An interesting match
just announced is the pairing of Shawn Michaels and Shelton Benjamin
taking on Ric Flair and Batista. Despite the fact that this will be
WWE's first showing in the area, the show has not sold out and tickets
still remain. Even though it is a house show ringside tickets are
selling for $150 USD while other tickets are in the range of $10 to $80
USD. Ouch. Tickets can be purchased from http://www.arenamonterrey.com

chart for the week ending April 10. 'The Monday Night War' is in first,
followed by the debut of 'No Way Out 2004' in third place, John Cena's
'World Life' in fourth, Steve Austin's 'Stone Cold Truth' in sixth and
Mick Foley's 'Greatest Hits And Misses' in seventh. All mentioned videos
can be purchased through http://www.wrestling-online.com/megastore/ on

closing. The day's range was 14.59 - 15.44.
> RATINGS- Smackdown! did a 3.2 rating with a 5.0 share, down 0.2 from last
week's show. (Ratings compiled by Nielsen Media Research and put online

>> RAW TAWKBy Ginger, [GLRSS@...]
Hey, Readers! Auntie G. is back, and I have *lots* to say this week.
So, no small talk, anecdotes or lengthy introductions. . .let's just
dive right into the RAW Tawk!
Jazz's outfit on Heat was really cute. . .but, wouldn't it have looked
WAY better on Lita?
It was a bit surprising that Al Snow referred to Joey Matthews as "Joey
Babaganuch." (Or, you know, however you spell that. . .) Yes,
he is an indy guy, but one of the better known ones. Show a little
respect, Junior!
My mama always told me if I had nothing nice to say, I should say
nothing at all. With that in mind, I just have to say. . . Val Venis
has perfected his pre-match towel twirling technique to high art!
"Matt Has Four Different Phone Numbers." That may have been impressive
five years ago, but these days, most of us have at *least*
two or three, my friend!
"Matt is a Fan of Thin Crust Pizza." Ginger, too. Low carbs, don'tcha
At the top of RAW, Mick Foley said he wanted to hear that Randy Orton
accepted his proposed Hardcore match at Backlash, "From the
horse's mouth." Not to be argumentative Mick but, to me, Randy Orton
looks more like a baboon than a horse. . .
I've seen a lot of people green-misted before, but Coach was, by FAR,
the funniest! Gotta love a man who can get another man's green
spit in his mouth and still be entertaining!
Isn't it interesting that, even though Molly's hair comes equipped with
a chin strap, it looks less like a wig than Nidia's?
Does John Hennigan realize that we can see right through his shirt?!?
After Edge's first match back after neck surgery was announced, I had
two thoughts:
1) His first match isn't until BACKLASH? Three weeks away? That
2) I've never wished I was Kane before, but I do now!
If Eric Bischoff was really as smart a businessman as Triple H claimed,
it seems like he might have tried to keep his "#1 Superstar"
from trying to kill the rest of his roster!
HO-LEE CUH-RAP!!! I cannot BELIEVE this $#!%!!! ANOTHER Triple
H/Michaels/Benoit Triple Threat match? It's lucky for WWE that
I never buy PPV's cuz, if I did, I'd stop now.
. . .sorry. . .
So, RAW is "Fight Club" now. How original. . .
It's lucky for Lance Storm that he decided the dancing gimmick wasn't
his cuppa tea because, after the gore Rhyno gave him, I don't
think he'll be able to *walk*, let alone dance!
With that green mist residue on his face, Coach looked kind of like
Johnny Spade. . .Johnny Nitro. . . Wasn't he Johnny Deuce or Johnny
Diamond or something a couple of weeks ago? Is it my
imagination, or is this dude going by a different name every time we see
him? If he ever plans to settle on a permanent name, may I
suggest "Johnny DELICIOUS?!?"
And, where the heck is Matt Cappotelli? Is he being held back because
his hair isn't *quite* as grand as John's?
While - for the most part - I find it painful to watch Ric Flair
wrestle, I'll NEVER get tired of his old standards - Strutting, begging
mercy and falling on his face!
OH. . .MY. . .GOD!!! From the year 1989, James Hetfield traveled
through time to be in the audience for RAW last Monday night! And,
it appears that he's a Shawn Michaels fan!
How sweet! To celebrate their (near) tag team title victory, Benoit and
HBK didn't just hug. . .they slow danced!
Even though "Johnny Nitro" screwed his team out of the belts, what Shawn
Michaels did to the Special Guest Referee wasn't exactly
what I'd call "Christian." HBK, WWJD?
For once, Jerry Lawler and I had something in common. . .we both looked
forward to The Highlight Reel all night! Trish was an
interesting choice for a guest, but I was *hoping* for Edge!
((Sigh)) Jericho is *so* beautiful when he's hurt. . . And he's funny
as Hell, too!
At the risk of alienating those who have low self-esteem when it comes
to their Wrestling Super Genius quotient, I must point out that I,
your Auntie Ginger, used Jericho's old "Trashbag Ho" rant in last
weekend's edition of "Ginger's (Sort of) Weekly Column." The fact
that Jericho brought that back last Monday on RAW after keeping it in
storage for a year or two can mean one of two things: Either
I'm the one, true WSG (Wrestling Super Genius), or Chris Jericho and I
have a cosmic, psychic connection. Or, maybe both. You can't
deny it. It's true.
Apparently - perhaps in honor of the new movie being heavily promoted
during WWE programming - Kane is serving as "The
Punisher" to any RAW Superstar who pisses off the boss!
Wait a minute. . . Tajiri beat Kane? That's *awesome*! But, wouldn't
*red* mist have been more appropriate. . .and *less*
EDGE! EDGE! EDGE! My GOD, he's hot! After a week of anticipation,
how sad is it that he only made a thirty-second appearance -
and *that* was a teaser for a match at a pay-per-view event that I won't
even see!
I respect Chris Benoit, but even *he* isn't always right. He told
Shelton Benjamin that everyone calls Triple H "The Cerebral
Assassin." I happen to know for a fact that lots of folks simply call
him "@$$#0!&" - over and over again in a chant-like fashion!
Shelton Benjamin not only main evented his first night on RAW but - OH
MY GOD! - Triple H *jobbed* to him! Say what you will, that
was an AWESOME match. Triple H did a great job of putting Shelton over
- two snaps up, baybee! I kid you not, I actually got a little
misty when Shelton got the pin. I'm sure it was just a one-time thing,
but wasn't it great?
Even more astounding than the upset trouncing of Triple H was the fact
that Mike Chioda refereed the RAW main event from beginning
to end and didn't get knocked out or injured at all! Earl Hebner must
have gone home sick. Either that or WWE read my column in
Wrestling-Online Newsletter #1786 and decided to discount my WSG
status. I vote for "B". . .
In closing, I'd like to point out that neither A-Train *nor* Chuck
Palumbo appeared on RAW last Monday - after being freshly traded to
RAW by SmackDown's new G.M., Kurt Angle. Guess we'll be seein' 'em on
Heat next Sunday, huh?
See you in a week. . .or when my work schedule allows. (Tax season 2004
will be HISTORY in just over two weeks! Pray for me!) Until
then, be sure to visit TheRingPost.com and check out the latest edition
of "Dear Auntie Ginger" right here:
