I call it unchivalrous because it has been known to elide eulogies of enemy decency and enemy valour.
I'll be done with him for one,' added the unchivalrous friend.
He could not exult over her, for that would be unchivalrous; but would not her own conscience reproach her bitterly?
The rest lay upon the hillside,—some past help, and all exposed to the fire of an unchivalrous foe.
Yielding to circumstances he accepted what he bluntly pronounced, ungenerous and unchivalrous terms.
But he loved her, and he would have deemed it unchivalrous to let her feel now that their relation to one another had changed.
It was well that Miss Verbena Martin could not overhear their talk, which was unchivalrous and unfriendly in the extreme.
The inflated state of the unchivalrous middle, denominated Manchester, terrified him.
"You're welcome to all the good they may bring you, old boy," was Nicholas's unchivalrous retort.
The wrath against this unchivalrous wickedness increased mightily.

What are the pros? Taste and color
What are the cons? none
They grow in northern Maine where the season isn't as long as else where. They have a lovely taste and texture...they make a lovely pie and prefer them to pumpkin. The matured when my butternut didn't, which I also like very much. The Red Kuri seem to keep better than the Butternut squash over the long winter months.

What are the pros? Vigorous grower, tasty
What are the cons? None
I planted these pretty late in the summer, not even sure we'd get a harvest, but we got several off the vines before the frost. I didn't get all the vines pulled, and noticed the vines started growing again, even after frost! :) Not that it mattered here in Nebraska, but interesting.
I scrape out the seeds and bake. So good. The description says dry, but I found it smooth, sweet, and moist with no strings.
I'll plant next year, earlier in the season.
As other reviewers have noted, this vine is super vigorous. In less than a month, it had filled in a large space and taken over my tomato cages, with fruit hanging on the cages. :)
18 out of 18 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? Delicious; Fragrant Flowers
What are the cons? Dislikes heat
Easily my favorite winter squash for eating! Vines get super long and mature quickly. Direct sow in May. Harvested several squash in early July, then the plant stopped flowering and some of the foliage died during the hot period in July and early August. Now that the nights are cooler, it's back to growing nonstop and I have 4 more squash maturing, and it's still flowering so I may end up with more! Less sweet than most winter squash and small enough that it's easy to process. Takes over my whole driveway and climbs into the neighbor's yard but totally worth it!
17 out of 17 people found the following review helpful:
What are the pros? vine borer resistant
Planted mid June. Long vines, heavy blossoms. Kept smelling strong perfume, thought was coming from neighbors home. Noticed bees and other insect were in large numbers on blossoms, more than other squash growing nearby. Smelled the blossom and realized the smell was coming from blossom. Never have grown any other squash with frangrant blossoms. Thus far 8 fruit developing. Vine borer has made its usual hit, but plant seems to be holding strong. Growing on black plastic. High 90s causing plant to wilt, but rebounds in evening. Hope taste meets what other reviews state, yet to be seen.
What are the pros? Easy to grow, gorgeous, tasty
These are some extremely prolific vines! They sprouted very quickly and the seedlings were enormous so I could tell they were going to be some huge vines. They wound their way all around my garden, down the walkways, and climbed over any other plant in their way. So, you definitely need a bit of space to be able to grow these, but it was worth it! They are such a beautiful color and fun shape, and delicious, too! They started fruiting quickly and the squashes grew and hardened quickly as well. I planted these at the end of March and was able to start harvesting squash by the end of June, so I think they are right on with the "92 days to maturity" estimation.

NEWARK, Ohio (AP) -- An Ohio mother who has late-stage, inoperable cancer got to see her 17-year-old daughter's graduation in a special ceremony held in her hospital room.
Seventeen-year-old Evie Shumaker was supposed to graduate from Newark Digital Academy in central Ohio on May 31.
But when she told her teachers that her mom, 57-year-old Melissa Shumaker, had advanced pancreatic cancer, they decided to organize an impromptu graduation celebration on Monday.
The teen dressed in a cap and gown, "Pomp and Circumstance" was played on a cell phone and Shumaker saw school officials hand her daughter a diploma. She tells The (Newark) Advocate (http://ohne.ws/1fegG1w ) that God has blessed her because she didn't think her mom would see her graduate.
Melissa Shumaker is being treated at a hospice at Licking Memorial Hospital.

Fatah names children´s camp after notorious terrorist (ISRAEL HAYOM) Efrat Forsher and Israel Hayom Staff 07/29/12)

Israel Hayom
Israel Hayom Articles-Index-Top
Palestinian Media Watch reveals Fatah-run camp in Jericho named after Dalal Mughrabi, a Palestinian terrorist who led one of Israel´s most lethal attacks, killing 37 people on a bus in 1978 Jericho district governor tells camp participants that Mughrabi should be "a beacon for us."
Palestinian terrorist Dalal Mughrabi, who in 1978 masterminded one of Israel´s most lethal terror attacks, killing 37 people 12 of them children on a bus, has been hailed as a hero and role model time and again on the Palestinian street.
Now, the Palestinian Authority has found yet another way to honor her memory, by naming a children´s camp in Jericho after her.
Just two years ago, Israel and the U.S. exerted great pressure on the authority not to hold an official ceremony marking the anniversary of the 1978 attack. Despite international criticism, Fatah proceeded with its plans and held the ceremony and named a square in Ramallah after Mughrabi.
Several other places throughout the West Bank and Gaza have also been named after the terrorist, including schools, sports fields, streets and more.
The existence of the Sisters of Dalal Mughrabi children´s camp in Jericho was first revealed two weeks ago by Palestinian Media Watch, which studies Palestinian society and monitors Palestinian media publications.
The organization found that in an article published in the PA- affiliated Al-Hayat al-Jadida newspaper, it was stated that the Sisters of Dalal Mughrabi camp was organized by Fatah, which is headed by PA President Mahmoud Abbas.
Among other things, the article also stated that Jericho District Governor Majed Al-Fatiani met with participants of the camp and reportedly told them: "It is our national obligation to be faithful to those before us who gave and sacrificed for Palestine, and they should be a beacon for us in our activities and in guarding the achievements and capabilities of our people."
Following the revelation of the camp´s existence, MK Danny Danon (Likud) said he planned to ask Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to stop the transfer of funds to the PA.
"The [Palestinian] Authority is funding terrorism education from an early age and is once again showing its true face," said Danon. "The Palestinians want to establish a terror state in Israel´s backyard and naming a children´s camp after a terrorist is proof of this."

Once again, a Major League pitcher has gone on the disabled list with a concussion stemming from getting hit with a comebacker. This time it is Alex Cobb of the Tampa Bay Rays. Instead of renewing the call for greater pitcher protection, more should look at the mechanics of former Atlanta Braves pitcher Greg Maddux.
Cobb's injury can purely be clamed on his mechanics, as seen here.
As you can see, Cobb's delivery causes him to fall to the side and essentially face first base. Most comebackers like that essentially come off the bat at 100 miles-per-hour. Catchers can catch 100. Hitters can hit 100. But pitchers can't catch that type of heat, because they're not in a proper fielding position at the end of their delivery.
Enter Maddux, who won a record 18 Gold Gloves for a reason. It all started with his delivery, which put his shoulders directly square to the plate, as seen here.
Until big league pitchers figure this out, they'll just keep getting hit with comebackers.Tags: Alex Cobb, Atlanta, Atlanta Braves, Baseball, Greg Maddux, MLB, Tampa Bay Rays

The Shakespeare Conference: SHK 12.0199 Tuesday, 30 January 2001
Date: Friday, 26 Jan 2001 11:11:04 -0500
Subject: 12.0158 Re: Performing the Tempest
Comment: Re: SHK 12.0158 Re: Performing the Tempest
Hello All:
The Oregon Shakespeare Festival (www.orshakes.org) is doing a production
of "The Tempest" as part of its 2001 season, and the web site features
comments about performance choices the production will use. Of interest
to our discussion about line cuts may be the director's (at the moment,
I forget who this is) remarks about Miranda's comments to begin 1.2. The
director states that in an effort to show the storm through Miranda's
eyes, "I've restructured the first scene so that 15 or 20 of Miranda's
first lines are integrated into the opening tempest."
The web site has more of the director's comments about the play and its
upcoming production.

MANAMA: Terrorism, subversion and street violence have ruined Bahrain's efforts to mark the International Day of Tolerance.
And as Bahrain joins the rest of the world today to salute values of peace and love, Minister of State for Human Rights Affairs Dr Salah Ali denounced those who are defiling Islamic and Arab values.
He said that the kingdom has adopted an approach to promote tolerance and co-existence according to the Islamic precepts.
He stressed Bahrain has been able to fuse these principles throughout its history and succeed in promoting values of tolerance among all social components.
Yet, he said, despite the tremendous efforts of the government to promote the culture of tolerance and co-existence, some groups still persist in opting for violence and terrorism.
"Mounting violence, subversion and terrorism have nothing to do with the values of tolerance and the ethics of the Bahraini people who have always been known for ostracising such hostile and uncivilised behaviour that is religiously, morally and legally rejected," he asserted.
He pointed out that International Day for Tolerance has coincided with a recent series of regrettable and cowardly blasts in Manama which targeted the expatriate community.
"This underlines the need to confront those criminal acts legally," he said, calling for concerted efforts to meet the UN strategy, launched by Unesco, to confront discriminatory practices exercised against the labour force, in general, and the Asian workforce, in particular.
He paid tribute to Asian workers for their vital contribution to the economic, social, scientific and cultural fields in Bahrain over the past years, slamming the hostile campaigns conducted by the extremists against the expatriates.
"This is one side of rejected fanaticism which has to be confronted socially and legally," he said.
"Bahrain is proud to be a partner of the civilised world in respecting values of tolerance," he added, commending the government's strenuous efforts to achieve comprehensive national reconciliation after the unfortunate incidents of February and March last year.
The crisis, he said, "has weakened the social fabric. As a matter of fact, all public and private groups have thrown their weight behind His Majesty King Hamad, His Royal Highness Prime Minister Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa and His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander, who urged to mend social rifts and tackle the repercussions of what had happened through a set of constitutional and legislative procedures".

|Students will actively engage in discussing the lesson and reflect on the concepts taught.
Special Needs of students are considered in this lesson:
Since this lesson is taught so early in the 1st grade school year, the students have a short attention span so I have to incorporate many different teaching strategies to hold their attention. The Power Point presentation is a visual tool which is beneficial to all students. Using their Social Studies textbook is another visual tool that helps bring the content to life. I have also incorporated hands-on activities and performing arts activities as a way of getting them excited and involved in the lesson, both socially, and, academically.
Extension Ideas:
Have the students create their own "Constitution" for our classroom or the school.

Author of "Her Love Bucket" reveals details of Relationship Design;
and it's generated by
love for you. Here's what this website is all about:
This website is Generated by Love
Most Love Relationships Go
From Casual => to Serious
=> to Commitment
From Casual to Commitment
What are Relationship Designs?
Relationship design is a broad spectrum. So there are many relationship designs.
There is a whole spectrum of relationship designs and there are nine relationship designs with a dominant emphasis within the spectrum. Again, there are many, many more than nine.
The term relationship "mate" (as in shipmate) is used in the naming description of the relationship design. Within the broad spectrum of the relationship designs, there are ranges of values or sets of related qualities. These values and qualities dominate the specific mate emphasis.
9 Dominant Relationship Designs with Specific Mate Emphasis
Culture Mate
Family Mate
Support Mate
Equality Mate
Companionship Mate
Cooperative Mate
Partnership Mate
Legacy-Mission Mate
Expansion Mate
The phases of relationship from dating, to accommodating, to established often happen without clear forethought or intention. Real Love Dynamics include the clear intention of a specific relationship design which can foster the possibility of experiencing true lovematism.
Here we are talking about LOVER RELATIONSHIPS: Between two consenting adults who have deep love and affection for one another.
Keeping "The Love Bucket" filled has a lot of to with relationship design, in particular, relationship design lifestyle. When you share in life, ideally you share in your relationship design lifestyle. Within your relationship design is a common goal.
When you relate to your lover from the power position of being a "prorelator" the respect and love you share is expanded. When you identified and make the choice of your relationship design, your common goal becomes clearer to both lovers. A prorelator knows how to respond and listen to keep the common goal of a relationship moving forward in a positive, love and passion-filled direction. That's love's true north and real love dynamics working in harmony.
Sherrie Rose is known for her LOVE BUCKET concept and for the phrase: "He WINS + She's HAPPY =Your SEX LIFE is Enhanced." That's actually the Love Bucket® Formula.
The most passionate love relationships are filled with sexual dynamics and having clarity of purpose in your relationship design will boost sexual intimacy and stoke the smoldering fires of passion.
"It is not enough to be well-intentioned; one must strive to put those intentions into action in a capable way." ~Andrew Cohen
"Clear INTENTION in your relationship design is the key to safe navigation when the sea gets rocky in your love relationship."
~The Love Linguist
"Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities, because it is the quality which guarantees all others."
~Winston Churchill
"It takes serious COURAGE to make a commitment to a love relationship."
~The Love Linguist

Data Sheet
Cisco IOS Multicast for
Hoot & Holler Networks
Hoot & Holler is a specialized, private telephony system that facilitates communications in industries that depend upon very rapid dissemination of information. Traditionally, Hoot & Holler has been used as a means to provide a one-to-many or many-to-many conferencing service for voice communications.
While popular in the publishing, transportation, power plant, and manufacturing industries, Hoot & Holler networks are most commonly deployed in the financial brokerage industry for market updates and trading. Hoot & Holler networks are typically spread over four to eight sites, although financial networks may have hundreds of sites interconnected.
A typical brokerage firm has several Hoot & Holler networks to service its many markets, such as equity, retail, and bonds. These networks are used either once a day for the "Morning Report" or throughout the day for brokers to "shout" orders onto busy trading floors. In the past, brokerage houses relied upon point-to-point telco circuits and customized Hoot & Holler bridging and mixing functionality to provide an "always-on" multi-user audio conference network without requiring users to dial in. While the network is always active, it is not always in use.
Cisco Systems offers Cisco Hoot & Holler network solutions based upon its proven Cisco IOS® Multicast and Cisco IOS Voice-over-IP technologies. The Cisco IP-based Hoot network only uses bandwidth when it is in use; when it is not, the same bandwidth can be used to carry other traffic. The IP backbone interoperates with existing Hoot & Holler end-station equipment, such as microphones, turrets, Hoot phones, or squawk boxes, as well as bridges and mixers, for a seamless transition. Brokerage houses can adapt this solution to eliminate costly private telco circuits and reap significant operational cost savingsup to millions of dollars per yearfor a rapid return on investment.
Technology Summary
Cisco Hoot & Holler networks rely upon a variety of Cisco IOS software features, including Voice over IP, audio compression, and routing update protocol (RTP) header compression. The Hoot & Holler solution is unique in its additional need to replicate a single voice signal for simultaneous arrival at multiple end stations. This replication is achieved using Cisco IOS Multicast technologies.
Multicast comprises a single content stream across switched networks, which is replicated at branch points closest to viewers for minimal resource consumption. This uses bandwidth much more efficiently, reaching more users at a lower cost per user.
The primary Cisco IOS Multicast technology required for Cisco Hoot & Holler networking is Protocol Independent Multicast version 2 (PIMv2). PIM provides intradomain multicast forwarding for all underlying unicast routing protocols. PIM distribution trees are dynamic; that is, the network can respond to accommodate senders and receivers joining and departing the network in real-time. PIM is independent of any underlying unicast protocol such as Open Shortest Path First Protocol (OSPF) or Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), and supports explicit join (sparse mode), flood-and-prune (dense mode), or hybrid sparse-dense modes. For Hoot & Holler, Cisco PIMv2 multicast technology should run in sparse mode. Sparse mode (RFC 2362) relies upon an explicit joining method before attempting to send multicast data to receivers of a multicast group (Figure 1).
Figure 1 PIMv2 Sparse Mode
Brokerage houses and other Hoot & Holler network customers can reap significant performance and cost benefits from shifting its underlying network from telco circuits to the Cisco Hoot & Holler solution with Cisco IOS Multicast:
- Cost savingsthrough elimination of costly private telco circuits and bandwidth conservation
- Scalabilityadding more end stations does not require additional circuits; because Cisco IOS Multicast replication vastly simplifies expansion, making it easier and faster to deploy than circuit-based solutions
- Interoperabilitystandards-based software interoperates with the data network and existing Hoot & Holler end station equipment, bridges, and mixers via analog bridges
Platform Support
Cisco IOS Multicast for Hoot & Holler is initially supported on the Cisco 2600 and 3600 multiservice platforms.

Lighting Noob Has a Question
Right now I'm running 8000k Khoalty HID's in my xenons and 2500k Nokya H3 Halogen bulbs in my projector fogs and Im starting to get sick of the setup. I want to go 6000k all around. Will I be able to put a H3 HID bulb in my projector fogs with no problem? Or would I need to buy a whole kit with ballasts and everything and do a retrofit.
Also, if i were to go with Halogen H3's such as these:
would the color be an exact match to the 6000k HID's I will have in my xenons?
Thanks for the help. And I apologize in advance if this is a dumb question :rofl:
H3 is just the size of the bulb. You still need the balasts and what not. The 6ks will match if you get the kits from the same place, but there is a chance that they will be slightly different if your order them from different manufacturers.
A H3 bulb is an incandescent bulb and therefore unable to properly match the 6000k temp color of a HID bulbs. You will be able to get close but as the bulb will have a coating on the outside of the bulb, as time goes by the color of the bulb will change drastically. You can however get a H3 HID kit for your fog lights. Just make sure that there is enough room in the housing.
The H3 bulb should fit. I saw a DIY somewhere putting a hid bulb into those aftermarket projector housings. You will have to do some cutting to make it work right. I also advise running a wiring harness for the fogs

Petal Drops
2 Recommendations
macavada's recommendation
Designed by the Quirky community in just 24 hours, Petal Drops is a flower-shaped funnel that fits on top of standard threaded water and soda bottles, providing users with the chance to easily and elegantly capture rain water and repurpose it for watering plants. Rainy days may not seem so bad anymore. Hereâs how it works: 1. Set your bottle, with attached Petal Drop, in your desired location and place some pebbles in the bottle if it's a particularly windy day. 2. Once it starts to rain, you'll watch as the petals act as a super funnel, collecting and storing rain water quickly and efficiently in the bottle you were oh-so-close to chucking. 3. Once the bottle is full, pour out the water wherever you choose... feed that thirsty plant, wash the chalk off your driveway, or give Fido a bath. Constructed out of 100% recycled HDPE, Petal Drops' contemporary flower shape makes it a product you won't mind placing in your garden or on your patio -- it might even blend right in!
DesignDingo's recommendation
Cool, flower petal design allows you to refill and reuse your plastic water bottles with this funnel inspired by nature.

Strikethrough, cross out text
I made this as soon as I found out there happen to be special computer characters for a line that crosses over the adjecent character or symbol. This is a generator that can help you turn your text into crossed out. You input your original text and it puts those special symbols around each of the original characters making all of your text strikethrough.
This resulted strikethrough text will work in many places including social networks (like Facebook), forums, chats and blogs. Not too many places originally enable this text cross out feature using tags, but you don't have to care about that, because it's just a text, nothing more. Strikethrough will now be just a part of your text. Which also means that when someone copies that text, strike out will still be present. If it was done with the HTML <s> tag, strikethrough wouldn't stay.

The supervisor said he had no reason to believe Moussaoui was planning such an attack, but made the remark in a frustrated attempt to convince headquarters that a special search warrant was needed to search Moussaoui's computer, investigator Eleanor Hill told a House-Senate committee investigating the Sept. 11 attacks.
Moussaoui is now accused of conspiring with the Sept. 11 hijackers to commit terrorism, and Hill outlined the Minneapolis FBI's office's repeated and unsuccessful efforts to convince headquarters that he was a possible terrorist.
The supervisor told the committee staff he was "trying to get people at FBI headquarters 'spun up' because he was trying to make sure that Moussaoui 'did not take control of a plane and fly it into the World Trade Center,'" Hill testified.
Hill said the headquarters agent responded, "That's not going to happen. We don't know he's a terrorist. You don't have enough to show he is a terrorist."
The headquarters agent told the investigators he did not recall the conversation.
Hill also said that a July 2001 memo by an FBI agent warning that Osama bin Laden might send terrorists to the United States for flight training was disregarded by headquarters, which was unaware officials previously tried to identify Middle Eastern flight students in this country.
The investigator said the failure to connect the so-called Phoenix memo with the arrest of Moussaoui a month later — and a general increase of terrorist alerts — represented major intelligence failings before the Sept. 11 attacks.
"No one will ever know whether a greater focus on the connection between these events would have led to the unraveling of the Sept. 11 plot," said Hill.
"But clearly, it might have drawn greater attention to the possibility of a terrorist attack in the United States, generated a heightened state of alert regarding such attacks and prompted more aggressive investigation and intelligence gathering," she said in a report for the House and Senate intelligence committees.
The committees looked into the handling of the Phoenix memo and the Moussaoui case as it held its fourth public hearing into the Sept. 11 attacks.
The Phoenix-based agent, Kenneth Williams, wrote a memo to his superiors in Washington two months before the attacks, suggesting that terrorists might be learning to fly commercial jetliners at U.S. flight schools. He asked for a check of flight schools, but no checks were made.
Williams was not identified by name in the report and was to testify later anonymously. As his own prepared testimony noted, his identity has already been revealed in many news accounts of his memo, which was disclosed earlier this year.
Hill said New York FBI personnel who reviewed the memo found it "speculative and not particularly significant." They said they knew some flight students were affiliated with bin Laden, she said, but believed they were intended to fly goods and personnel in Afghanistan.
Hill wrote that both Williams and the FBI agents in headquarters were unaware that the FBI had received a report in 1998 that a terrorist organization might be planning to bring students to the United States to train at flight schools.
By November 2000, though, an analyst wrote a memo informing FBI offices that he found no evidence of terrorists studying aviation and that further investigation "is deemed imprudent" by FBI headquarters.
Agents involved in the Moussaoui case also were unaware of the Phoenix memo and the earlier investigation.
Moussaoui was arrested by FBI agents in Minnesota on immigration charges in August 2001 after a flight school instructor became suspicious of his desire to learn to fly a commercial jet. FBI headquarters denied agents' request to seek a warrant to search his computer. Moussaoui has since been charged with conspiring in the Sept. 11 attacks.
In his prepared testimony, a Minneapolis-based FBI agent blamed legal restrictions, FBI headquarters and the circumstances of the case for impeding a more aggressive investigation of Moussaoui before Sept. 11.
Lawmakers have been meeting behind closed doors since June, but public hearings were delayed until last week, partly because of questions about what information could be revealed in the Moussaoui case.
The committees have also been clashing with the Bush administration about whether it can reveal what intelligence about terrorist attacks was disclosed to the White House before Sept. 11.
The administration doesn't want to reveal what the White House knew, even if the intelligence has already been declassified.
On Tuesday, leaders of the committees again called on the White House to allow the information to be disclosed, or explain why the information should be kept secret.
House Minority Whip Nancy Pelosi, the leading Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, said the White House's failure to allow the information to be disclosed "will undoubtedly further weaken public confidence in the entire classification system."
"To classify for the wrong reasons, when security is not at stake, when nothing of substance is really at stake, undermines the willingness of the American people to put their faith and trust in the government," the California Democrat said.

BioWare - Editorial @ Gamemoir
View Single Post
May 10th, 2014, 03:58
To be fair, I do admit I felt some kind of dilemma with some choices in Bioware games. Well, sort of, then I felt quite cheated and it made me furious in some cases.
My most memorable dilemma was Anomen's quest - whether to advice him to or not to take revenge over his sister's death. In the end I chose him to take lawful path and he became a knight and all seems to be well. Until a messenger shows up. I thought oh crap, I took wrong decision. But things worked out somehow, so I decided to take a different path in my next playthrough. Hm, messenger shows up again and make me feel like crap for completely different consequences. This is not really a choice, it's just a cheap design to make player feel crap (if you are emotionally attached to Anomen) no matter which choice you make. That's the *choice* for you in Bioware game.
Above happened because I was attached to Anomen. Often it depends on your emotional attachment with individual characters who's involved in conflict.
In my case, I couldn't give a damn if I hurt Merrill's feeling because I really disliked her (I only wish there was a way to get rid of her!), so no dilemma there. Kaidan vs Ashley? I disliked both. I think in most cases, people saved possible *romance option*. That's certainly what I did since *romance option* companions tend to me more chatty. The author mentioned he always wondered "What was Kaidan going to be like in the third game?". Well, he doesn't need to, because they do *exact* same thing.
But some good memorable conflicts were present in DA:O. I really liked Landsmeet. To choose Alistair to marry my warden or Anora or rule alone? None of them really felt right because my human noble warden was in romantic relationship with Alistair, wouldn't want him to marry Anora, but if my warden becomes a Queen, all sorts of problem happens (no heir & Morrigan's ritual, which was really freaky) etc. Ritual was also interesting choice - considering my warden is in love with Alistair, going through ritual wasn't exactly a cheerful thought, so it could also be plausible to go through sacrifice. Either way, it made me think and play a "role" of my warden depending on personality I chose for her.
So yeah, I think Bioware is good enough with the choices, enjoyable enough

Clown Loach Question
Posted By: Matt <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: Thursday, 23 December 1999, at 2:21 p.m.
As I have said, I have 3 clowns that I got yesterday and they are all still doing great. No sign of disease brought in!! When i first put them in, I had no caves but a well planted portion of the tank. They were very active and always moving. Last night, after they had been in there for a while, I built two caves from some 1 3/4 in plastic water pipe and they rarley come out. I want to take the caves out so I can see them more becuse they are very pretty, but I know clowns like caves and places to go. Is the planted portion enough or do they HAVE to have the caves??? They seemed to do fine befor I put them in. Also, the two bigger clowns' stripes are just a little faded and are kind-of grey, but the smaller one has very definite black stripes. Is this somehting that comes with age or size?? Any infor on this will be very appreciative because I am eager to learn about these since I have never had any of these before.

Houston TX (SPX) Jan 07, 2014
Rice University scientists have pioneered a tabletop magnetic pulse generator that does the work of a room-sized machine - and more. The device dubbed "RAMBO" - short for Rice Advanced Magnet with Broadband Optics - will allow researchers who visit the university to run spectroscopy-based experiments on materials in pulsed magnetic fields of up to 30 tesla. (A high-resolution magnetic resonance imaging system is about 10 tesla in strength.)
The Rice lab of physicist Junichiro Kono created RAMBO in collaboration with Hiroyuki Nojiri at the Institute for Materials Research at Tohoku University in Sendai, Japan.
Details appeared online recently in the American Institute of Physics journal Review of Scientific Instruments. The advantages of such a small machine are many, said Timothy Noe, a postdoctoral research associate in Kono's group and lead author of the paper. Aside from its size and powerful performance, RAMBO has windows that allow researchers to directly send a laser beam to the sample and collect data at close range. "We can literally see the sample inside the magnet," Kono said.
"We have direct optical access, whereas if you go to a national high magnetic field facility, you have a monster magnet, and you can only access the sample through a very long optical fiber. You cannot do any nonlinear or ultrafast optical spectroscopy.
"RAMBO finally gives us the ability to combine ultrastrong magnetic fields and very short and intense optical pulses. It's a combination of two extreme conditions."
The device's unique configuration allows for the best access ever in a powerful magnetic field generator meant for scientific experimentation. Researchers can collect real-time, high-resolution data in a system that couples high magnetic fields and low temperatures with direct optical access to the magnet's core, Kono said.
In addition, the unit can run a new experiment in a 30-tesla field every 10 minutes (or less for smaller peak fields), as opposed to waiting the hours often required for field generators to cool down after each experiment at large laboratories. The device has already paid dividends for Kono's group, which studies superfluorescence by hitting materials with femtosecond laser pulses to trigger quantum effects.
RAMBO allows the laser pulse, the magnetic field pulse and the spectrometer to work in sync. RAMBO is possible, he said, because of Nojiri's development of a small and light mini-coil magnet. A little bigger than a spool of thread, the magnet allows Rice researchers to perform on campus many of the experiments they once carried out at the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory at Florida State University or at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
The Florida State facility has produced continuous magnetic fields of 45 tesla; Los Alamos has produced pulses over 100 tesla. "I would say we've been able to do 80 percent of the experiments here that we used to have to do elsewhere," Kono said. "And that's not all. There are things that only we can do here.
This is a unique system that doesn't exist anywhere else in the world. "High magnetic fields have been around for many years. Ultrafast spectroscopy has been around for many years. But this is the first combination of the two," he said.
Kono's group built the system to analyze very small, if not microscopic, samples. A sample plate sits on a long sapphire cylinder that passes through the coil's container and juts through one end of the magnet to place it directly in the center of the magnetic field. The cylinder provides one direct window to the experiment; a port on the other side of the container looks directly down upon the sample. The coil is bathed in liquid nitrogen to keep it cool at around 80 kelvins (-315 degrees Fahrenheit).
The sample temperature can be independently controlled from about 10 K to room temperature by adjusting the flow of liquid helium to the sapphire cylinder. Kono said he expects RAMBO to make Rice one center of an international network of researchers working on modern materials.
"This opens up all kinds of possibilities," he said. "Scientists working in different areas will come up with new ideas just by knowing such a thing is possible." He said the team has already collaborated with Jean Leotin, a co-author of the paper and a professor at the Laboratoire National des Champs Magnetiques Intenses in Toulouse, France, to perform one of the first time-domain terahertz spectroscopy experiments in high magnetic fields.
Co-authors include Joseph Lee, a student at Clements High School, Sugar Land, Texas, who works in Kono's lab, and Gary Woods, a professor in the practice of computer technology and electrical and computer engineering. The National Science Foundation, the Department of Energy and the Robert A. Welch Foundation supported the research. Read the abstract here

That doesn't mean I'm city bound. One summer in the mid-80s I became part of a four-man crew on 48-foot commercial fishing boat long-lining for black cod along a stretch of the Aleutian Islands. I wanted to visit Alaska and experience life on the sea. Within days the monotony of work from 6 a.m. to midnight seven days a week set in and I longed to get back home (Humboldt State at the time where I received a degree in Journalism). But when I did I was really glad to have memory. The next summer I traveled to Europe for two and a half months. It was good, but I made the mistake of not sticking around one place long enough to feel a connection. Much more recently I hiked the national parks of southern Utah, the Rockies out of a friend's house in Boulder, and over relatively fresh land on Hawaii's Big Island. I love how physical exertion makes the surroundings even more beautiful. In June I'll be visiting my sister in Chesapeake, VA, with a six-day side trip up to DC. I'm going to stay in a hostel for the traveler's atmosphere. I haven't done that since my 80s Europe trip.
In between all that I found my birth mother in Kansas City. The reunion after 31 years went so well with her and the rest of her kids I decided to move there for nearly a year to get to know them all better. I have a manuscript ready to be published which chronicles to whole experience. In the meantime I'm completing a screenplay that's been a blast to compile.
Financially I am self-sufficient. The majority of my income is from rental property I own; to maintain health benefits, I'm working retail. But I'd rather not be doing the retail any longer, which adds incentive to successful writing. But you know the ol' saying, don't quit your day job till you've got something better. For me, that's the plan.
As part of this summary I can also add that I'm happy, enthusiastically optimistic, love to laugh and make other too, passionate in life and love, very comfortable with who I am, organized (as opposed to what the OKC computer says under the 'Personality' tab). I'm great on my own, but sharing magnifies the effect.
In your basket of talent: You're a woman who is fit, youthful, attractive, appreciates health, energetic, gregarious, open, quick, funny, romantic, outgoing. You could be making a boatload of money or just be doing what you love best.
MOVIES: Fearless with Jeff Bridges, Network, almost anything with William Holden, I'm a guy, so Apocalypse Now, both original and Redux (I can take either side of this debate).
MUSIC: Led Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, the Beck station on Pandora, White Stripes, Miles Davis, John Coltrane.
FOOD: Sushi, salmon, really good backyard BBQ with mesquite charcoal, lots of veggies, throw in an occasional medium-rare ribeye, and of course a jammy zin goes with everything.

It has been almost a century since deer were introduced to the Royal National Park, but lately they have taken to the streets of suburbia and locals have had enough.
Despite the introduction of a National Parks plan to reduce the number of the Indonesian rusa deer in the park, the animals are wandering into the Sutherland Shire, grazing on the playing fields, defecating and chewing on residents' roses at night.
Some even swim across the Hacking River to take up residence in waterfront reserves.
Sutherland Shire Council wants the deer to be declared "a key threatening process" under threatened species laws, to speed up the culling program.
Councillor Bob Spencer said the deer were driven to suburbia because of the competition for food in the park, and they are sometimes known to be brazen in their encounters with humans.
"The little timid Bambi isn't always the case," he said.
The impressive animals, which weigh up to 160 kilograms, were introduced into the park in 1906. A group of seven were enclosed in a small area in the park as a tourist attraction, but they escaped.
There are now estimated to be more than 2500. Since the culling program began in February last year, 327 have been killed. The carcasses are fed to the lions and tigers at the Mogo Zoo.
Kirrawee resident John Ford, 70, said the deer had caused havoc on local roads for a number of years, but the problem had escalated in recent months. "I love them dearly, I suppose, but they are just a pain," he said. "It won't be long before they are sitting on our balcony and knocking on our front door."
National Parks' Sydney South regional operations co-ordinator, Greg Tedder, said:
"We actually haven't found a technique to deal with these animals in people's yards and down the main street."
Some animal rights groups oppose culling the deer, but RSPCA inspectors have found the cull has been conducted humanely.

Hope everyone had a great Fourth! As for myself, I took a stand up paddleboard lesson on Friday last weekend and will be taking one more tomorrow (more of a tour than a lesson, to get familiar with the paddle areas in my neck of the woods)! At any rate, in about a month or so I will probably be purchasing my own SUP and I have begun research into it. Curious if any of you MDAer's out there SUP? If so, any tips on what I should look for in my first board? I am a 5'1'' female, about 132 right now, probably will be weighing less soon. The board I took my first lesson on was I THINK 10'-ish and felt pretty good, but didn't have any grip on it. Any info you guys have would be great! Cheers!
No announcement yet.

That response is odd.
I WISH I could get my own board. They're so expensive! I want to participate in the Waterman's 5k but would need my own to do it.
If you're still thinking about it, keep in mind that they come in different stabilities. You can get a less stable, more fast one, a more stable, slower one (probably what you used), and uber stable ones that are kind of hard to maneuver, like people do yoga on.
I'd recommend trying them out at a shop that lets you do that, and then getting one that feels a little uncomfortable but not to the point that it'll deter you from using it. That way your skills can grow into it.
I have three SUPs, one a 10 foot surf sup (corban), a 10'11" PSH surf SUP (great board) and a 14" race/downwinder board.
All depends on what you want to do if its Surf any of the 9 foot plus Starboards widepoints will suit your size and weight. If its racing touring look for a 12'6" or 14" race or downwinder board's but remember that you still need it light enough to get it on/off roof, store at home, carry to waters edge. A race or touring/downwinder will be faster on flat water and better for long paddles
My wife is similar size and can paddle a 9' surf sup no problems in flat water. Suggest you demo a few from shop to get a feel for what will suit you. Its a great sport I luv paddling my 14 footer along the coast on flat no wind days, I can see all the reef and fish and living in west australia spot the great whites sharks before they get too close.... (tragically we had another attack last weekend just up the coast) :-(
cheers"Times fun when you are having Flies" Kermit the frog
Hey there!
So I am a very active paddler and have several boards: an 8-0 L41 SimSUP (surf), a 10-6 Laird (surf), a 14 bark (race), and a 14 Naish glide (downwinder). and can tell you that will outgrow your first board if you buy one you are comfortable on now. Test as many as possible, the learning curve is steep and you need to determine what you want to do with it. You are in seattle which means surfing is out, but cruising is fun and there is a great race scene there. I would lean towards the 12-6 or maybe 14 race class for flatwater since you can cruise and train, but also enter races if you want to. They are fast, fun and light (if a bit more expensive).
Also check with your local shop- they often have frequent renter programs or apply rental fees to the purchase of a board.
Keep with it and enjoy the stoke!Male 40 Years Old

I am sure that having a good board is going to make a big difference, and in Hawaii I got to surf on some nice, honest SUPs, and the difference was tremendous. But I just wanted to chime in and say, get out there and do it on whatever you can afford/find/like. Hell, it is my favourite way to float now and I wouldn't have got into it this quick if I had to spend a grand.
Have fun!

Hurricane season is about to heat up
The hurricane season in the Atlantic began on 1 June and ends on 30 November. The Pacific hurricane season began on 15 May and also ends on 30 November.
"We're at the period when you start to see these waves rolling off of Africa. Everything is in place for a really active year," Gerry Bell, lead forecaster for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Climate Prediction Center told the Sydney Morning Herald.
During such "active years", there is a 90 per cent chance of a hurricane strike somewhere along the US east coast and an 80 per cent chance of a Gulf Coast landfall. The reasons for the storm activity: record warm temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean and La Niña. This weather phenomenon makes it easier for hurricanes to start and strengthen.

They are lovely. Because I am currently seeking my Master's Degree in Gerontology (and my undergrad is in the same area), I am very interested in learning about new products that are geared toward elderly people.ReplyDelete
These canes are beautiful and have in mind the truth that people who are growing older still desire to be stylish and colorful.
Pam, I think it's great that you have expanded in a different fashion direction; one that validates the need to look good at any age.
Oo, lovely. I don't 'need' one but I think I should have one.ReplyDelete
I want to threaten to beat small boys with it! Like a Dickensian madwoman!
It would suit my 'image' very well. Eccentric.
Tactile. Mmmmmmm. Dreamy.
I usually love your blog...but, my dear, walking canes...you lost me..ReplyDelete
Congrats on your new sponsor. Love that they come in colors... if you have to have a cane, then you might as well have one that is stylish! xoReplyDelete
OK, everyone, the reason the canes are good for a blog such as this is NOT because we need them, but because many of us are taking care of or have elderly parents!! A great way to bless your own mom or grandmom!!! But, when I get there in 20 or so years...I am excited to know there will be stylish products such as this!!ReplyDeleteReplies
Good point, Pam! They are lovely!Delete
Those canes are pretty. I sure hope I won't be needing one :)ReplyDelete
Very creative and time appropriate ~ we are an 'aging' society with all the baby boomers coming up ~thanks, ^_^ (A Creative Harbor)ReplyDelete
Congrats on the new sponsor Pam!!!ReplyDelete
Those canes are gorgeous. I occassionally have to use one when the fibro gets a bit rough. I am blessed to have annie's (my great-grandmother) cane. The one she CARRIED but refused to use even at age 100 because someone might think she was old and crippled!!
These are amazing! My dad needs a cane. I'm going to send him this article. Thank you so much.ReplyDelete
They are terrific. I walk with a "balancing stick" I blinged mine with rhinestones. Thank you for sharing at the Thursday Favorite Things hop. xoReplyDelete
This cane is great! thank you for me to discover it!ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for joining in our conversation today! I appreciate your time and love hearing from you!

Youth pastor, former school board member sentenced in sex misconduct case
A youth pastor and former school board member in Hancock County was sentenced to two years in community corrections on charges of child molestation and sexual misconduct with a minor.
Steve Harding was accused of sexual misconduct with a girl whose parents considered the youth pastor a family friend.
Harding was sentenced to three years at the Hancock County Jail with one year suspended and two years executed. However, the court will allow the sentence to be served on Community Corrections, meaning he will not serve jail time.
Harding was also ordered to pay over $400 in fines and court costs.
Court documents say the encounters occurred when the girl was 13 and 14, at Harding's home and at the New Palestine United Methodist Church.
