The anti-virus is the only compound capable of purging the t-virus. It was created by Dr. Charles Ashford as a means to help his daughter, Angela Ashford, to retain her mobility and keep the t-virus mutation in her system in check.
In its liquid state, the anti-virus' visual cue is green as opposed to blue like it's counterpart. While it is known to cure t-virus related infection, the anti-virus is not a fool-proof antigen. Rain Ocampo, who had been bitten several times and spent over an hour in an infected state, died and reanimated as a zombie a few minutes after being administered the anti-virus.[1] Dr. Sam Isaacs was bitten and infected by an Enhanced Zombie, and several massive doses of the anti-virus could not save him from extensive mutation.[2]
However, it did work for Carlos Olivera three hours after he was bitten by his infected partner, Yuri Loginova.[3] It is likely that the dosage of the t-virus in Rain's body was significantly more than in Carlos' as a result of being bitten more than once, thereby increasing the overall dosage and giving her a smaller time frame in which to safely inject the anti-virus without mutation. However, when Carlos was infected a second time, even though there was only a few hours between infection and arriving at the North American Research Facility, Carlos believed his infection was too far gone to be cured and didn't even attempt it.
In Resident Evil: Extinction, the White Queen explained that because of Alice's unique situation as the only human to bond with the T-virus, her blood contained a possible cure or anti-virus to the t-virus which had since swept across the globe.[4] Umbrella's North American Research Facility contained all that she needed to create another cure, but whether or not Alice succeeded or attempted the endeavor is never revealed.

LIMA – Jailed former Peru President Alberto Fujimori has been admitted to a hospital for tests after a recurrence of cancer, his attorney said Monday.
"The ex-president has been transferred (from his cell to Lima's top cancer hospital, INEN,) for evaluation, and probably will require surgery," William Castillo told reporters.
Castillo said the disgraced ex-president, 75, was expected to be hospitalized for five days.
Fujimori is serving a 25-year sentence after being convicted in 2009 of human rights violations during his 1990-2000 tenure.
He has suffered a recurrence of cancer in the same area of the tongue where he was operated on previously, his son, lawmaker Kenji Fujimori, said last week.
The already jailed ex-president is currently on trial for corruption. In the present court case against him, which got under way on Oct. 17, prosecutors accuse Fujimori of diverting some $40 million of the military's budget to tabloids supporting his 2000 re-election campaign.
Forced to resign in 2000, Fujimori fled to Japan but was extradited in 2007 to face charges at home.

" Brand: Royalty / Type: Bar "
It's amazing how many products are miss-named (or misleadingly names). Maryland cookies are unknown in Maryland, there's a Salsa Inglesa in Mexico that none of us Inglesas were familiar with and so on. This bar is plastered with Union Jacks and branded as Royalty, but I very much doubt the Queen scoffed one of these to celebrate her grandson's engagement yesterday.
The Royalty Mighty Bar is a poor man's Mars bar, or at least that's the description we'll start with. It's about the same size, but costs half the price here, and following drops in my standards of cleanliness (no running water) and politeness (sometimes ignoring people is the only way to go), my taste in chocolate is following suit. Things I wouldn't consider trying at home, somehow now look ultra appealing.
This chocolate bar is thinner but deeper than Mars, as if someone has taken the latter and squished it in. It is covered entirely in chocolate, with a sort of wave pattern on the top to add the tiniest bit of texture. Inside there is a layer of nougat, topped with a layer of caramel. So, yes, pretty much like Mars.
The Mighty is subtly different, though. For one thing, the chocolate isn't an even coating all the way round, and there's an extra thick layer on top. The chocolate is quite nice - not the sort you'd want to eat 1kg of on its own, but lacking the grainy or too sweet hallmarks of really cheap chocolate. It's not what you'd describe as creamy, but you wouldn't really call it dusty either.
Inside, the bar is mainly nougat. This is sweet and chewy but not too hard, more fluffy in places. It's comparable to the stuff you find in a Mars, but there's a greater ratio of it in this bar - it's practically a nougat bar with a caramel after-thought. The caramel is nice, runny and sweet, but there's really not very much of it, and it's possible to get a few bites that don't contain any of it.
The one thing that really lets these down is the packaging. Wrapped in thin plastic, like many a chocolate bar, either the makeup of the wrapper, or the way they are packaged, always seems to damage the bar. I haven't had a single one yet that's been fully intact on opening, and most have oozed a lot of their contents out from numerous cracks in the chocolate. This is a real waste, especially as it's the caramel that tends to escape and there's not much of that to begin with. It also makes them messy to eat (you end up with sticky fingers the second you open them) and though you can suck the plastic to get all the good stuff off it, people might look at you funny if you do it in public.
Packaging aside, these are a more than acceptable alternative to the real thing. They don't taste cheap, and while they're not identical to Mars, they work with the tried and tested flavour combination to be a good product in their own right. They rank about the same on the sickliness register as the brand name, so if you don't like Mars, you're unlikely to like these, but if you do and want to save pennies (though not calories) I would recommend trying these. I thought they would be a poor substitute but they turned out to be rather tasty, and great value for money.
In the UK look out for them in independent grocers, or on Approved Food. I pay 2000 Le for one here which is about 30p, compared to 4500 Le for a Mars bar of the same size.
Unlike some knock offs, this one doesn't try to emulate the original in its packaging, to trick you into buying it, but it may confuse you a little anyway. There are 3 bars in the range (which also includes fake Snickers, and faux Bounty) and this one looks a bit like the Nuttery version so make sure you pick up the right pack.

Jersey Girl Scores Major Gig For Nickelodeon
Back in the 1990's, a Jersey Girl was trying to capitalize on her initial success on the big screen by launching her own rock band.

Over the last 20+ years Colleen Fitzpatrick has seen every side of Hollywood and the music business, making her the perfect person to run a music division that is predominantly led by its teens, and spearheaded by its TV programming.

In the world of fashion, a lot of the time less is more. Minimalism has always been an everlasting trend. It's a pleasant reminder to get back to basics and not waste time worrying about the fickle fads that come and go. In fact, many designers showcase the beauty of minimalism in fashion right on the runway. Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away. This Fashionista is flaunting a look of simplicity, yet she is still far from basic. Her unique gold necklace is the perfect accent of originality over her gray basic T-shirt and cream cardigan sweater. Worn with her dark denim jeans and black leather boots, she is keeping it casual with her own personal flair. The gold accessory on the back of her boots is another bold accent to bring out her inner style amongst the simplicity.
Name: Erin Murphy
Major: Journalism
Year: Junior
CollegeFashionista: Who is your fashion inspiration?
Erin Murphy: I get a lot of my inspiration from Kendall and Kylie Jenner. I really love their California-girl aesthetic, simple and chic.
CF: What is your favorite item in your closet?
EM: My favorite item in my closet right now is my leather leggings because they intensify any outfit but once it starts getting warmer I'll be all about my maxi skirts.
CF: How would you describe your style?
EM: My style is very laid back and feminine at the same time.
How To: Simplify your closet with graphic shapes and bold mixes of black, white and color balanced with neutrals that look surprisingly new. While sometimes a basic white T-shirt might not look so appealing on your favorite shopping site, basic neutral colored sweaters, T-shirts and blouses are closet necessities. They make outfit pairing so easy and reusable. Incorporate a few bold accessories to switch up your otherwise simple outfits. This is such an awesome way to make the same set of clothes into a totally different ensemble.

A hostile Syria will find many allies in Lebanon eager to turn on Hizbullah.

Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., made the announcement Monday evening, telling senators, "I think what you need to do is make sure the president has the opportunity to speak to all 100 senators and all 300 million American people before we do this."
Reid had just hours earlier announced that he was scheduling lawmakers' first vote on the war resolution for Wednesday, and he claimed Monday that he had the 60 votes needed to advance the bill in the Senate. But Reid changed course amid mounting Democratic opposition to a military strike, coupled with what President Obama is calling a potential "breakthrough" deal that could avoid military action entirely if Syria agrees to surrender its chemical weapons to international authorities.
"I've talked to all my Democratic senators and we have enough votes to get cloture," Reid said. "But I don't think this is a counting numbers thing tonight."
A growing number of Democrats have come out against the resolution, which would give the president 60 days to launch air strikes against the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in retaliation for an Aug. 21 chemical attack outside Damascus.
The president is scheduled to talk privately with both Republicans and Democrats in separate meetings on Tuesday, followed by a prime-time address to the nation that evening.
Democrats say it was Obama's threat of a military strike that ultimately forced Russia and Syria to propose a diplomatic solution in which Syria would avoid a strike by giving up the chemical weapons it is accused of using against its own people.
"That we have reached this point," Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., "has more to do with a president determined to stand up as a matter of principle more than anything else."

1. FAN REACTION: Pelini said he couldn't predict how fans insulted by his expletive-filled rant will react to him when he enters the stadium during the traditional Tunnel Walk.
"I would think the rational people out there would understand," he said, "that a lot of times you say things you don't necessarily mean."
2. SIMPLIFYING OFFENSE: Whether Martinez plays or not, the Huskers plan to condense their offensive repertoire. Instead of practicing a wide variety of plays during the week, they focused on doing fewer things better.
The Huskers generated only 135 yards in the second half against UCLA.
3. TOO CLOSE FOR COMFORT: South Dakota State played a sixth-ranked Nebraska within 17-3 in 2010, a week after Martinez and the Huskers had dazzled the nation with a big road win over Washington. If the Huskers looked past the Jackrabbits in 2010, they won't this time, Pelini said.
"They are going to be sound in what they do," Pelini said. "They won't be really fancy, but they'll be sound and aggressive."
4. ZENNER'S A WINNER: South Dakota State's Zach Zenner is the best back in the FCS, averaging a nation-leading 180 yards after going for more than 2,000 last season.
Zenner runs behind a big and veteran offensive line that will test Nebraska's defensive front.
"Zenner definitely instills some extra confidence, especially for the offensive line," SDSU offensive tackle Bryan Witzmann said. "If we hit up our blocks, he can be gone. He's got breakaway speed, and he can showcase it."
5. HOMECOMING:Twelve native Nebraskans are on the South Dakota State roster, including four starters.
Naturally, this is a red-letter game for guys like center Taylor Suess, who grew up in Columbus, Neb.
"It definitely gives us a chip on our shoulders," he said. "I've had a lot of doubters even since high school who said I couldn't play at the Division I level anywhere. That's why one of the biggest reasons I wanted to play at SDSU was to prove those people wrong, and now that I get to show it against my home state, that's great."

SINGAPORE'S state-owned investment company, Temasek Holdings, has raised $2 billion ($1.7 billion) by selling shares in Optus owner Singapore Telecommunications as the fund seeks financing to expand overseas.
Temasek sold 770 million shares at $S2.66 each, 5 per cent below yesterday's closing price of $S2.80, the fund announced.
The sale cut Temasek's stake in SingTel to 56.3 per cent from 61 per cent, sending the phone company's shares down as much as 5.7 per cent.
Temasek's chief executive officer, Ho Ching, has been investing in pharmaceutical companies, airlines and banks in Asia, seeking to raise the proportion of foreign investments in the fund's $S103 billion portfolio to boost returns.
Analysts said the policy might lead to further sales of SingTel shares, reducing the state's holding in the company to a minority.
"They will continue to sell down their stock," said Wong Soon Tong, an analyst at Daiwa Institute of Research. "Maybe they need it to pay for Shin Corp."
In January, a Temasek-led group bought half of Thailand's Shin Corp for 73 billion baht ($2.6 billion) and offered to buy the rest of the stock.
The group said this month it owned 96 per cent of the company. Shin's main asset is mobile phone company Advanced Info Service.
Before Temasek's sell-down, shares in SingTel, Singapore's biggest phone company, had risen 13 per cent in six months, outpacing an 8.9 per cent gain in the Straits Times index.
SingTel shares fell as much as S16c to $S2.64 in early trading in Singapore yesterday.
"The fundamentals of SingTel haven't changed and today's drop is a correction in reaction to Temasek's placement of the shares at a discount," said Christopher Wong of Aberdeen Asset Management Asia in Singapore.
The stock sale, arranged by Goldman Sachs, would boost SingTel's free float (the shares available for trading) to 43.7 per cent, Temasek announced. It said the increase would benefit all investors in the phone company.
Temasek did not say whether it planned to sell more SingTel shares. It is spending more overseas in an attempt to improve flagging returns.

Extra features no loss for iPods
Those extra features like voice recording and radio sound novel enough but there are more add-on peripherals for the iPod by third parties than for all the other MP3 players combined. If it is not on the iPod, chances are that there is a peripheral for it than can add the functionality.
Now that we are talking about colour screen iPods the possibilities for peripherals get even better. Imagine being able to add the iSight to the iPod for tape-less movie recording.
Rio and Creative could do worse than make iPod peripherals. Their players are simply not relevant to anyone except Microsoft.
And what about all the extras that the iPod HAS and others LACK?
(The most fun maybe: the music quiz that uses your own music.)
That's like someone choosing Windows because of solitaire
(raises hand)
I gots ta have my Solitaire!
iPods have Solitaire.
Yes... But NOT Mac OS X!! (preinstalled, at least...)
The "feature" I miss the most since I switched is M$ Solitaire, probably the best Windows app ever written. Ooooh those jumping cards
For me, it's got to be Minesweeper.
i've noticed that each windows revision comes with more versions of card games.
The iPod is a great device. The games it comes with, the software updates, the calendar and contacts functionality, and the music player aspect all combine to make it one of the best, if not THE best, in its class. (I need to use mine more...)
Parachutes is the best, and I never played it prior to my 3rd Gen iPod!

In a recent interview, 'Twilight' starlet Kristen Stewart gives update to 'The Twilight Saga's New Moon' as well as addresses several issues concerning the directors of the franchise.
Kristen Stewart has sat down with MTV to discuss a bit about the pre-production of "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" and about the changes of director for the franchise. When explaining what she thinks will make "New Moon" even better than "Twilight", she revealed that the rehearsals for the sequel have been completed.
"We've had all of our rehearsals, it's pretty much done - all of the prep for the script, it's solid," the 18-year-old gushed. She then went on explaining, "There's no more work to be done, whereas a lot of times you'll be on a movie and you scramble the night before and make sure everything's done, and then you lose sequence of the whole thing because you don't shoot in order. We're set! It feels so good."
Aside from giving out about the finished rehearsals, Stewart also used the time to once again talk about the changes of director from Catherine Hardwicke to Chris Weitz. "To be honest, I don't know - I don't run studios. It was definitely both of them [agreeing to part], it was Catherine [Hardwicke] and Summit agreeing it was the best thing to do. It wasn't like, 'You're fired!' It was a comfortable situation," she said after admitting that Hardwicke's exit "wasn't much of a shock" for her.
"And Chris is like the most genuinely invested guy - he didn't just jump on the bandwagon and be like, 'Ooh, let's get the biggest, most successful movie! I wanna do "Twilight 2"!' He genuinely likes it, and is entirely involved," the "Adventureland" actress then expressed her support to the "New Moon" helmer. "He's a really sweet guy, and we're all really excited to work with him. I like his previous work too, so it all just works out."
Asked about her opinion if Summit Entertainment choose female director for "Eclipse", Stewart stated, "I can't think of a direct effect of having a female or a male director." She furthermore continued, "I could speak specifically about Catherine, Chris or ["The Cake Eaters" director] Mary Stuart [Masterson]. I could speak about people that I know and that I've grown to care about - but I don't think it's about them being a girl or a boy."
A sequel to 2008 hit vampire drama "Twilight", "The Twilight Saga's New Moon" will be directed by "The Golden Compass" helmer Chris Weitz using the script penned by "Twilight" screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg. The romantic drama will see the return of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner among others. The Summit Entertainment movie is aimed for November 20 U.S. release.

The State of the Union might be President Obama's night, but on Tuesday night, members of Congress were fawning over another famous guest in the Capitol: Willie Robertson, one of the stars of A&E's hit "Duck Dynasty."
The hirsute reality star stood out while seated in the gallery overlooking the House floor, as lawmakers mingled below. He wore a jacket, button-down shirt and no tie, with his hair wrapped in a USA flag bandana — a marked contrast to the buttoned-up sartorial code that prevails.
Some politicians gawked over Robertson, who posed for pictures and signed autographs for members of Congress, including Wisconsin Republican Paul Ryan. Robertson was a guest of Rep. Vance McAllister of Louisiana.
Robertson even got what looked like a personalized wave from the president after the speech, after McAllister pointed out his famous guest to the commander-in-chief.
We caught up with Robertson ever so briefly after the speech. His review: "It was good." And then, the bearded TV star was off, turning to his wife and asking "Where are we going for dinner?"
Last month, A&E suspended the "Duck Dynasty" family patriarch, Phil Robertson over controversial remarks he made in a magazine interview — with many politicians taking sides in the national brouhaha.

Cavs Crush Spurs in the 'Burgh
The Spurs were especially shorthanded on Thursday night, but the Cavaliers were without Mo Williams and Anderson Varejao and still handed the Spurs a 106-80 drubbing in the Steel City.
San Antonio traveled without four of their top dogs: Tim Duncan, Manu Ginobili, Tony Parker and Richard Jefferson. That left Gary Neal – an undrafted rookie from Towson – to as their high scorer, finishing with 10 points on 4-for-13 shooting.
The Wine and Gold, conversely, had four players in double-figures, paced by J.J. Hickson's 18 points. The third-year forward from N.C. State hit his stride after intermission – notching 10 of his 18 points in the third period. For the night, the high-flying forward finished 9-for-19 from the floor with nine boards.
Starting guard Ramon Sessions, who continues to impress through the preseason, also snagged nine rebounds – adding 14 points and six assists in just 24 minutes of action. Sessions was an economical 4-of-8 from the field and 6-of-9 from the stripe.
Sessions and Hickson have reached double-figure scoring in each of Cleveland's five preseason outings. J.J. is averaging 16.0 points and 9.2 boards per contest.
Sessions' backcourt mate, Daniel Gibson, has been just as impressive through five exhibition contests. Boobie came off Byron Scott's bench to notch 13 points and six helpers of his own. The former Longhorn was 6-for-8 from the field and added four boards, a steal and a blocked shot.
"I think guys are busting their butts every day, and tonight we had it pretty much for the whole game," praised Coach Byron Scott. "We had some lulls, but really loved the effort that we were applying out there. Guys are getting better. We're going to keep working, but we're getting better."
The Cavaliers outscored San Antonio in every quarter of Thursday night's win – dishing out a preseason-high 23 assists and committing a preseason-low 13 turnovers.
While Sessions and Gibson are battling for regular season playing time, rookie guard Manny Harris is attempting to make a case for the final roster. The former Michigan star, who has now reached double-figure scoring in each of his last three games, finished with 11 points, four boards and an assist, playing the entire second half.
But the news wasn't all good for the Wine and Gold on Thursday night in the 'Burgh.
Late in the first half, Antawn Jamison went down on the baseline grasping his knee. He limped into the locker room and was diagnosed with a sprained left knee. Later, Jamison downplayed the injury and was able to walk it off. In the second half, Anthony Parker sprained his ring and long finger on his right hand and didn't return.
The Cavaliers tallied preseason bests with 106 points on 52 percent shooting. Cleveland shot 50 percent from long distance and an impressive 83 percent from the stripe. Every Cavalier that saw action got into the scoring column.
Byron Scott's squad returns to Cleveland, where they'll face Trajan Langdon, Sasha Kaun and CSKA Moscow on Saturday night. They'll travel to Cincinnati and Columbus the following week to wrap up the exhibition schedule. Cleveland opens the season the following week against Boston at The Q.

A local business, hospital and church will host Carter BloodCare's mobile bus this weekend to help bolster the regional blood bank's supplies.
Title Max will be hosting a blood drive from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Friday, Aug. 1, on the Carter BloodCare bus in the parking lot at 1065 Gilmer St. For more information about this drive, contact event coordinator Izac Herrera at 903-885-2058 or
To schedule an appointment time for any of these three blood drives, contact Lanie Jennings at 903-571-9667.
All blood types are needed. In fact, some patients require only one part of the blood. Some patients require only red cells, while others might only need platelets. Donating just one pint of blood can save three lives and there is no substitute for human blood. One in seven patients admitted to a hospital will require a blood transfusion, Carter BloodCare Director of Public Relations Linda Goelzer noted in a press release Monday.
Potential blood donors may volunteer beginning at age 16 with parental consent; 17-year-olds may give independently; and there is no upper age limit for giving blood.
All donors must weigh at least 110 pounds, feel well on the day of donation and present a government-issued photo ID each time they give blood. It's also a good idea to eat a nutritious meal and drink plenty of water before giving blood.
Carter BloodCare is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) organization that operates on behalf of patients in 50-plus Texas counties. With volunteer blood donors, Carter BloodCare is the primary provider of blood and transfusion services to more than 150 hospitals and healthcare facilities in North, Central and East Texas. The blood center is licensed by the Food and Drug Administration, accredited by American Association of Blook Banks and is a member of America's Blood Centers.
For more information about hosting a drive, donor eligibility, Carter BloodCare or to schedule an appointment, call 1-800-366-2834 or visit carterbloodcare.org.

The Carolina Hurricanes completed the home-and-home sweep of the Buffalo Sabres with a 3-1 win last night in Buffalo, New York at the First Niagra Center. The Buffalo Sabres scored the first goal of the game, but the Hurricanes responded with three unanswered goals in the third period. Backup goaltender Dan Ellis got his first start of the 2012-2013 season for the Carolina Hurricanes, and looked impressive with 40 saves on 41 shots to secure the victory. Ryan Miller took the loss for the Buffalo Sabres, letting in three goals on 42 shots faced.
The first two periods of actions saw both teams get open scoring chances both even-strength and on the powerplay, but the stellar goaltending of both Dan Ellis and Ryan Miller kept the game tied 0-0 through two periods. The Carolina Hurricanes took 14 shots in the first period ad 10 in the second period, while the Buffalo Sabres took 10 shots in the first period and a game-high 18 shots in the second period. Both starting goalies were playing strong atop their respective creases and limiting rebound control to keep the score tied at 0-0 going into the final period of play.
The Buffalo Sabres got the scoring started in the third period with a goal from forward Thomas Vanek, his third of the season, at the 1:56 mark of the third period. Vanek drove hard to the net and buried a powerful wrist shot over the shoulder of Dan Ellis; the goal came on the powerplay and was assisted by Jason Pominville and Christian Ehrhoff.
The Carolina Hurricanes would answer with a goal of their own a mere 1:25 as Alexander Semin stole the puck on an aggressive forecheck and beat Ryan Miller with a quick wrist shot under the crossbar. The goal was Semin's first of the season and first as a Carolina Hurricane.
Starting goaltender Dan Ellis did well to keep the score tied 1-1 until Jay Harrison buried a slap shot off an offensive-zone faceoff win by Captain Eric Staal and blasted a slapshot from the point past Ryan Miller. the goal was Harrison's first of the season and gave the Hurricanes a 2-1 lead. Forward Jeff Skinner would add an empty-net goal with 25.2 seconds remaining; Skinner took a lead pass from Jay Harrison and skated around a few Buffalo defenders before lifting a backhand shot into the net for his fourth goal of the season.
The win was the second in a row for he Hurricanes who take to the ice again Monday, January 28 at the PNC Arena in Raleigh, North Carolina against the Boston Bruins.

Drippy stripes for journaling/
"That is part of the beauty of all literature. You discover that your longings are universal longings, that you're not lonely and isolated from anyone. You belong."
F. Scott Fitzgerald
This is the book I'm altering, with golden airbrush colors (aka airbrush acrylics) drizzled over a {fully dry} background of thinned airbrush acrylics. The plan is to journal in white on the black lines and in another color on the white lines! Love the opacity of the white. We'll be using these paints to do some cool things in the new workshop I'm developing.
I am curious to see what you do with drippy lines. Tip of the day: you can thin golden fluid acrylics with airbrush medium to get a flowy effect. Or water. But I expect that you would lose the opacity.

My jar of peanut butter is empty. I guess that means that I need to use my other favorite spread. It needs no introduction. You know what it is..
Probably half of any given jar of Nutella ends up being combined with peanut butter in some way. The rest..well that usually just ends up spooned into my mouth.
So I wanted to switch it up a little. I wanted to be fancy by baking my Nutella right into some breakfast worthy granola.
Then trash it up with some crushed up pretzels. You know, because that sounds like the best thing to do.
And while I'm still opening and closing the enormous amount of boxes littering my house, searching for my belongings, I can find some comfort in eating pretzels and chocolate for breakfast. Because if that won't cheer me up and get me ready for the day, then I don't know what will.
Pretzel and Nutella Granola
printable recipe
What you'll need:
- 4 tablespoons Nutella
- 4 tablespoons honey
- 3/4 cup crushed pretzels
- 2 cups large flake oats
- Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Place the Nutella and honey in a small bowl, and microwave for 20-30 seconds. Mix together until smooth.
- In a medium bowl, mix together the oats and pretzels. Mix in the melted Nutella mixture until the oats are coated with the mixture.
- Spread the oat mixture on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for around 17 minutes. Let cool.
- Store in an airtight container.

Most reviews are written only a short time after purchase, but I have been using this racquet for over a decade and I have no desire to look anywhere else. I just bought my second one in case my strings break during a match. Light weigh, grade head size, and just feels great. Other racquets put too much strain on my forearms with the weight of their head.
I've been playing tennis for about 10 years and this has been favorite racket so far. It's so lightweight and such a great size!
After doing a lot of research, I had my eye on the Hyper Hammer to replace my Pro Staff 6.0 that I bought back in the 90's (still have the Pro Staff, just wanted something less than 25 years old). As light as the Hyper Hammer is, I was pleasantly surprised by the power it produces, the control it allows, and the forgiveness it gives on hits outside the sweet spot. I definitely recommend this racquet, and use it with a shock trap vibration dampener. You will not be disappointed!
I bought this racquet about a month ago. I have had one just like it for about two years. It is light enough not to hurt my elbow or cause my sholder much trouble. I am 68 years old and can't handle the heavy racquet any longer. This Racquet is good for playing the net, and will let me make returns from the baseline with a lot of pace. If I am playing about ten foot from net and don't hit the ball as center as I could, the ball will still carry over the net. The Ti6 I used to play with would ... fall short. This is a perfect racquet for me. If I could find a better one, I would buy it. But I can't. I've tried.
I bought this 2 weeks ago and it has been a wonderful time with it, it has a light weight so you can do your swing like it is.
awesome item for the price, great durability and great price
Great all around racquet for high school level play! Good grip and sturdiness as well as head flexibility!
it is a good racquet with a lot of control, will recommend to a friend
I just got mine today and I love it. I think it's better than the Wilson for just 1/2" shorter and lighter. A great buy for the money.
I bought this 2 weeks ago and I have had a great time with it, for me the weight is ideal for me and it is very comfortable.
The racket has nice balance and fairly large sweetspot...perfect for my son who was just getting into tennis.

TURNING back the hands of time will prove a headache for a Dorchester store as the clocks go back this weekend.
As we bid farewell to British Summer Time and move into Greenwich Mean Time in the early hours, Fred Burgess and son Jonathan from Clockhouse Jewellers in Durngate Street face the daunting task of changing up to 40 clocks.
For many of us the clocks changing means an extra hour in bed but for Jonathan and his dad it will be a busy weekend as they have to adjust all their timepieces.
He said: "We have got about 40 clocks and with the clocks going back we have to stop them all and wait and then go round an hour later starting them again."
• Don't forget – the clocks go back at 2am in the early hours of tomorrow to 1am.

Annual property tax levy increases for municipalities are capped at 2 percent (notwithstanding certain loopholes that allow most municipalities to increase taxes by slightly more without violating the cap).
Now, farmers want a tax cap. The New York Farm Bureau is asking the state Legislature to put a 2 percent cap on agricultural land assessments, mirroring the relief given to homeowners. The bureau says spiraling taxes put New York farms at a disadvantage. It says New York farmers pay $38.41 per acre in property taxes – the second-highest rate in the country and one that eats up to 15 percent of a farm's net income.
A Senate bill capping farm land assessments has passed. The bureau is seeking support in the Assembly.
Should farms have a property tax cap? Answer below and share your thoughts in the comments.

Should farmers have a 2 percent property tax levy cap like homeowners?

It's nice to have goals, and it appears Miami Dolphins RB Reggie Bush has a far-fetched one.
"I want the rushing title," he said on WSVN-TV on Sunday. "I've been working towards that goal. Just being effective like I was this past season.
"Every time I rush the ball I want 4 yards. I'm keeping my focus simple and small, but at same time helping my team progress."
Well, Reggie, at 4 yards a pop, you'll need approximately 400 carries (give or take) to top the NFL's rushing charts ... or about twice as many as the career high (216 carries) you established last season.
But that's not the only reason you're unlikely to check "NFL rushing king" off your bucket list:
Sorry, Reggie, but just hitting the 1,000-yard plateau again in 2012 will be an achievement itself.

I thought I was not experiencing this problem at first because I can
successfully authenticate my Pocket PC. But after I already had other
clients on laptop, it won't authenticate. There is a continuous loop wherein
after entering the username and password correctly, it refreshes back to the
login page and does not continue to the page to be visited.
I reviewed who has logged in using the captive portal log and I saw the
authentication only happened up to the MAC address of the WRT54G but failed
to authenticate the laptop's MAC address.
With my pocket pc it is a wierd experience. After logging in, the page
refreshes back to the same authentication page. But after you click on a
hyperlink that links to my allowed webpage for usage acceptance policy, the
authentication page will automatically go towards the desired page to visit.
(This cannot work with laptop clients.)
As soon as the pocket pc gets authenticated, the username is gained access
to both the pocketpc's MAC and the WRT54Gs MAC.
Altogether, laptops cannot connect but pocketpc's and nokia 9500 can
connect; but the username of the last person to login is reflected at the
APs MAC and the mobile device's MAC.
This happens with 1.2b8 up to 1.2b10.
Tested with 1.2b7 and logs-in flawlessly. I also checked the captive
portal's log and the WRT54G's MAC is not reflected but only the clients'

VoxCommando offers many options that determine the way the program works, how commands can be spoken, and also how VC interfaces with other utilities such as your email.
To access these settings, click "Options" on the top menu of the main VoxCommando window.
Options are broken up into different tabs.
- 1 General
- 1.1 Sounds
- 1.2 OSD Alternates options
- 1.3 Prefix Mode
- 1.4 Language Settings
- 1.5 Confirmation Command Phrases
- 1.6 Idle Event
- 2 Advanced
- 3 Email
- 4 Events
- 5 Kinect
- 6 Plugins
- On mode
- This defines what sound is played when VoxCommando is activated.
- Standby mode
- This defines what sound is played when VoxCommando goes into standby mode.
- Off mode
- This defines what sound is played when VoxCommando goes into off mode.
- Recognized
- This defines what sound is played when VoxCommando has recognized a command and is about to execute it.
OSD Alternates options
Required Confidence
- When VoxCommando hears a command, it will have an associated "confidence" based on how well it heard you and if there are similar commands that it is listening for.
- Confidence is shown on the popup OSD, in the command history panel, and in the large text box in the main VoxCommando window. Percentages close to 100 indicate that VC is very confident that it heard you correctly.
- You may experiment with this required confidence percentage to execute your "good" commands, while ignoring other sounds. If you have an accent that VoxCommando has trouble understanding, you may need to lower this number.
- When the confidence for a command is lower than the "Required Confidence" for a spoken command, a ? icon will appear in the history tab and the command will be ignored.
- When the confidence is higher than "Required Confidence", a megaphone icon will appear in the history tab and the command will be executed.
Show OSD on Command
- If checked, a small text window (OSD, or on-screen display) will open showing the command, whenever a command is recognized.
Show OSD alternates
- If checked, when you say a command a text window (OSD) will open showing possible alternate commands (if any) in a numbered list. To then execute an alternate, say the phrase "Option 2", or "Option 3" etc.
- Note that, by default -- even if it recognizes possible alternates -- VC will automatically execute the most likely command (i.e. Option 1). You can disable this by checking the "don't execute if there are alternate commands" box (see below).
- If you are using a program that takes over the screen in fullscreen mode (e.g., Windows Media Center, or XBMC when in "true fullscreen" mode), you will probably not be able to see the alternates OSD window. There are various solutions to this depending on which program you are interacting with. Please search the forum for more information.
Only show OSD/Alternates if command is executed
If this box is checked then OSD message popups will not be shown:
- when in Standby mode, except for commands that are "always on"
- when the confidence test fails
- if the command is not executed for some other reason
OSD appearance options
- OSD font scale adjust. Change the font size of all OSD messages
- OSD screen number. If you use multiple monitors, specify which screen displays OSD messages. The screen number is 0 based, so your primary display is 0, second display is 1, etc. If you set this to a higher number, when that screen is not active the display will switch automatically to the primary display (i.e. screen '0').
- OSD vertical position. Specify vertical position of all OSD messages. Positive numbers measure number of pixels up from the bottom of the screen. Negative numbers measure number pixels down from top of the screen.
- OSD display time (ms). Specify duration (in milliseconds) that automated OSD messages remain on the screen. The default duration is 6000 ms (6 seconds). [VC versions 126.96.36.199 or later only]
- Generate VC.Alternates event. When checked, VC will generate an event whenever alternate potential commands are detected. This event will carry alternate commands as payloads, and can be seen in the history panel when alternates are available. See forum for an example of how this feature can be used.
- Don't execute if there are alternate commands. By default, VC will automatically execute the most likely command that it understands, even if it recognizes possible alternates. If you select this checkbox, VC will not execute the most likely command but will instead always wait for you to select an option (i.e.,"Option 1," "Option 2," etc.).
Prefix Mode
When in standby mode, VoxCommando only reacts to certain commands that are set to be "always on", such as "pay attention". If you enable prefix mode, you can issue any command while in standby by first saying the prefix. (See also: Prefix Mode demo video)
For example, if you enable prefix mode and set the prefix to "Jarvis", you could execute a command such as "Who is this?" by saying "Jarvis, who is this?"
This will allow the command to execute, but VoxCommando will remain in standby mode. You can use multiple alternate prefixes by separating them with commas.
Enabling, disabling, or changing the prefix will require a full rebuild of all commands. This should be done automatically when you save your options and may take some time depending on the size of your media library.
The prefix can be more than one word (this is good as it will avoid false positives). You can also use multiple prefixes by separating them with commas. As a general guideline, each prefix should contain at least 3 syllables and you should not use more than 2 or 3 prefixes at once.
- Use Prefix(s)
- Use this checkbox to enable or disable prefix mode.
- 'Prefix' field
- This defines the text that will be used as a prefix (or name). See above for an explanation. Multiple alternate prefixes can be used by separating them with commas. For example, if you want to be able to start your command by saying either "jarvis" or "computer" then you could fill in the prefix field with jarvis, computer.
- Required Prefix Confidence
- VoxCommando must be confident that it understood you correctly before executing a command. Normally it is sufficient to define the confidence required for the command (see Other Options, below), however, you can further fine tune this by requiring a minimum confidence for the prefix as well as for the entire command. If you are not concerned with this, set it to a very low number like 1. If you get false positives based on the prefix you can raise this number, or try a longer prefix.
Language Settings
Speech Recognizer Culture
Select the language that will be used for speech recognition. We also refer to this as the language of the speech "engine".
- Standard configurations of VoxCommando that use English will default to English (US) but if you have an accent that sounds closer to British you should change this to English (UK).
- If you are going to train Windows to understand you better, make sure that you are training the profile using the same language as you are going to select here.
- You can only select languages that are installed on your system that support speech recognition. Windows Ultimate supports the following languages:
- English (US)
- English (UK)
- French
- Spanish
- German
- Chinese (untested with VC)
- Japanese (untested with VC)
- The phrases defined in the command tree editor should use the same language as the speech language here. When you first install VoxCommando, there are standard configurations offered in several different languages. If possible, choose one for the language you wish to use. Other "unofficial" configurations can sometimes be found on the forum or by asking another user for their language-specific configuration.
- Some versions of Windows (such as Windows Ultimate) will allow you to easily install new language packs using Windows update. For most users it is recommended to select English because most media (song titles, artist names, and sometimes movies and TV-show titles) are in English. Of course, if your media library does not contain a lot of English titles and you do not intend to issue English commands you should choose the most appropriate language pack for your needs, if possible.
- Even if you use English as the "speech engine", you can probably simulate many phrases in other languages by spelling phrases phonetically (e.g., our Brazilian users seem to have good success with this method, as Portuguese is not a supported language).
- This is a complex topic that can be discussed in the forum if you need more help.
Also see the Languages wiki page for a more detailed discussion.
Display Language
Select the language that will be used for the VC interface (VoxCommando menus and buttons). For the time being, most items are only available in English. With the constant changes and updates to VoxCommando it was too difficult to update multiple languages. Hopefully more languages will be available soon, at least on key windows.
Confirmation Command Phrases
Any command can be set to require confirmation. For example, if you have a command to delete a file, or a command to shut down Windows, to be safe you may want to require confirmation so that the command is not triggered by accident. Commands can be set to require confirmation in the LCB (Logical Command Builder). See the image at right. By default, most commands do not require confirmation.
Specify the phrase(s) that you wish to speak to confirm a command (when required).
Specify the phrase(s) that you wish to speak to cancel a command (if it was triggered by accident, or you changed your mind).
Auto cancel after (sec)
After a certain amount of time, if you do not confirm a command, VC will automatically cancel. Here you can set the amount of time before this happens.
Show OSD when confirmation required
Displays an OSD user prompt whenever VC is expecting a confirmation. The OSD message will display the expected confirmation phrase(s).
Click here to watch Kalle's video tutorial on using command confirmation.
* As of VC 22.214.171.124, these default confirmation phrases can be disabled by leaving either the Confirm or Cancel phrase field empty. This is helpful if you prefer to create custom confirmation commands in your command tree that have additional features (such as confirmation commands that are "always on"). Custom confirmation commands can instead use the actions VC.ConfirmYes and VC.ConfirmNo.
Idle Event
Idle Timeout in seconds
- Enter a number here (in seconds) to have VoxCommando automatically switch to standby or off mode after a period of inactivity (no commands recognized). Set to 0 to disable this function.
UDP broadcast
- Send port
- Set the the port for sending events to EventGhost. EventGhost needs to have the Broadcaster plugin enabled and set to listen on this port.
- Broadcast or Target IP radio button
- If Target IP is selected, then you must specify the IP address to send UDP messages to.
- If Broadcast is selected, then the IP will be set to 255.255.255.255, which means that all machines or devices on the LAN will receive the message provided that they are listening on the correct UDP port.
- Listen port
- VoxCommando will listen for UDP messages on this port. The default port is 33000. We advise that you do not change this. Many different applications and devices for which we have provided custom solutions talk to VC via this port (e.g., Tellvox, VoxWav, Vera, BEAM Sphere, etc.). Changing this value can result in events not being generated (i.e., the message will not be received).
Phrase Processing (PayloadXML)
Settings that affect how VoxCommando processes payloadXML files.
Whenever you create a payloadXML file, you have the option of checking the "SubMatch" box. The Phrase Processing advanced option defines the minimum and maximum sub-phrase lengths (in characters) that VoxCommando will recognize if that box has been checked.
If you only ask for part of a song or movie name, for example, VoxCommando can still recognize your command (if submatch is enabled for that phrase). This is what allows you to ask VC to "Play artist Marley" when what you would actually like to hear is the artist "Bob Marley and the Wailers".
Note: The complete phrase will always be one of the possible phrases even if it happens to be shorter than the minimum length specified here.
By default, VoxCommando will warn you about payloadXML files that contain more than 25,000 items. In the Advanced tab you can increase this number to a maximum of 99,999 items. Increasing the number will affect the warning message only; it will not ensure that your computer can magically handle an excessive number of items.
Directory Watcher
Note: If you wish to watch a folder for any type of file and to generate events when a new file appears you should use the Watcher plugin
- Wav folder watcher
- Default: leave blank
- If a local folder (directory) is specified, VoxCommando will monitor this folder. Whenever a new .wav file is detected, VoxCommando will attempt to open the file and process the audio contained in the file, as speech. The file will be automatically deleted after processing is complete.
- Sox preprocessing
- It is recommended to leave this at the default setting: unchecked.
Time to Reinitialize Microphone
- Mic check status every (sec)
- Is sometimes useful if your usb microphone disconnects itself. Set this to number of seconds between checks. If VoxCommando determines that it has lost connection with the microphone it will reinitialize. Set to 0 to disable. Recommended to leave off unless you determine that you need to use this feature to stay connected to your microphone.
UI - Minimize to system tray on close
If you want to completely (almost) hide VoxCommando you can select this and then when you close VoxCommando, it will not really close, but instead be moved to the system tray (near the clock on the task bar). When in this mode you can actually close VoxCommando by right-clicking on the system tray icon, and selecting "close".
Please see the forum post "Start VC in system tray" if you need help figuring out how to automatically minimize VC to the tray on launch.
Gmail Settings
If you wish to use commands to check for new email messages on your Gmail account then you will need to enter your username and password here so that VoxCommando can access your account.
For your security, values are encrypted using your main hard drive ID. Therefore, if you move your VC settings to another computer (or accidentally send your VC options to another user) this information will not be readable.
- Disclaimer: If for some reason your credentials are readable by others who have access to your options file, we will not be held responsible.
SMTP server settings
Set up the SMTP account settings that will be used when sending email with the SMTP actions. Default info is provided for Gmail.
- Check program focus every ______ (ms) allows you to set the time between polls to see which program has focus. If the program that has focused has changed since the last poll, then an event will be generated of the form: focused.PROGRAMNAME
Events table
Note: Most users don't need to worry about this feature...
The Events table found on this tab allows you to define event "shortcuts" that you can trigger on the event menu of the main VoxCommando window.
- This can sometimes be useful for testing commands.
- If no events are defined in this Options tab, then the "Events" item will not appear on the main menu.
Special settings for using a Microsoft Kinect as a microphone array
See wiki entry: Kinect audio for more details.
On this tab you can toggle active plugins on and off.
In order for the plugins to become active, you must click Save and Close.

Department: Health & Environment
Release Date: Jun 28, 2014
Contact Information:
Jane Viste
The Health Department will be providing shots free-of-charge on Sunday and Monday for customers who have eaten food prepared at Tortilla Marissa's in Fort Collins in the past 14 days: that would be since June 15 (for the Sunday clinic) or since June 16 (for the Monday clinic.)
The free shots will be available only for customers who have eaten at the restaurant during that time.
The clinics will be held at the Fort Collins Health Department office, 1525 Blue Spruce Drive, on Sunday, June 29th, from noon to 5 p.m. and on Monday, June 30, from 5pm – 8 pm.
On-line registration for the clinics is now available through a link at www.larimer.org. Online pre-registration for the clinics is strongly encouraged, as it will significantly reduce wait times to receive services.
Customers who consumed food or drinks (either dine-in or take-out) from the restaurant in the past 14 days could benefit from getting a Hepatitis A vaccination or Immune Globulin (IG) injection to reduce the risk of illness. Both will be available for free at the Hepatitis A shot clinics. Those who ate at the restaurant more than 14 days ago might have been exposed, but a shot would not offer protection from any potential exposure to food from this restaurant. They should monitor their health and contact their health care provider if hepatitis symptoms develop.
Shots can also be obtained from private health care providers. Some pharmacies may be able to provide Hepatitis A vaccine, with a physician's order, for those customers whose 14-day window will expire on June 27 or 28, if they cannot get into their provider's office. People who have had at least one vaccination for hepatitis A or have had the illness in the past are protected from hepatitis A infection and do NOT need to receive any shots.
People who recently ate at Tortilla Marrisa's who are not currently in the Larimer County area are urged to contact their state or local public health department or their health care provider to obtain necessary shots if they can do so within the 14-day window.
Symptoms of hepatitis A may include fever, tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, abdominal discomfort, dark urine, gray or white stools, and jaundice (yellowing of the eyes and/or skin). Symptoms are more severe in adults than children. For most people, symptoms usually appear about 4 weeks after ingesting the virus.
Anyone who develops symptoms should contact their health care provider and NOT prepare food for others. This is especially important for food workers, health care workers, and day care workers.
For information about hepatitis A and preventive treatment, please contact the Colorado Health Emergency Line for Public Information (CO-HELP) at 1-877-462-2911, or 303-389-1687. For additional questions, call the Health Department at 970-498-6706. Additional information about hepatitis A can also be found through www.larimer.org and on the CDC website: http://www.cdc.gov/Hepatitis/A/index.htm

Evaluation of Freight Corridor Mode Performance: Brisbane - Cairns Corridor Freight Movement Analysis
Bunker, Jonathan M. (2001) Evaluation of Freight Corridor Mode Performance: Brisbane - Cairns Corridor Freight Movement Analysis. Queensland University of Technology.
|PDF (104kB)
This report provides an analysis of freight movements on the Brisbane - Cairns corridor as an activity within the project Evaluation of Freight Corridor Mode Performance. It follows on from the lead activity which produced the document Evaluation of Freight Corridor Mode Performance: A Literature Review (Bunker, 2001).
The project hypothesis is that the transport planning and freight transport decision making processes could be more well informed by developing a model that represents in detail the process of mode selection for corridor freight movements, using key performance indicators. The overall aim is to develop a framework for such a model and is to include a freight corridor in Queensland as a case study. The corridor that was selected is Brisbane - Cairns.
The purposes of this analysis of freight movements on the Brisbane - Cairns corridor are to become familiar with the attributes of the corridor, and to gain an understanding of how each freight mode is currently being used in the line haul freight task along the corridor. This will provide a basis for investigating the nature and values of specific freight mode choice determinants and performance indicators for this corridor developed earlier in the study, through consultation with the parties involved in the decision making process.
This examination of freight flows on the Brisbane - Cairns corridor has demonstrated that Brisbane is the focus of freight movements along the corridor. In the northbound direction, this is attributed to regional areas' reliance on Brisbane for the supply of goods. In the southbound direction, Brisbane, although less pronounced, is also the principle destination for freight originating in the regional areas. The directional split is even south of Bundaberg, while the northbound split is dominant on links further north, suggesting a strong reliance by northern centres for inwards goods movement from Brisbane.
The northbound task is well spread amongst road, rail and sea along the length of the corridor. Road is on most links the dominant mode in the southbound direction. A substantial empty backhaul exists in the southbound direction across all modes, except for road south of Bundaberg.
It is evident from the data that in the northbound direction, sea dominates, but is generally restricted to the bulk freight task, which is primarily petroleum distribution from Brisbane refineries to regional areas. In the southbound direction, sea carries very little intra-state freight, aside from the bulk movement of bauxite between Weipa and Gladstone for refining, but dominates the movement of bulk freight (primary produce) to the southern states.
Air is restricted in both directions to a very small volume of freight, which is expected to be high value, rapid transit freight.
The balance of the corridor freight task in both directions is distributed between road and rail. It is apparent from the data that on an overall corridor basis there is strong competition between these modes in moving all freight types, including bulk, non-bulk containerable and non-bulk non-containerable. Road generally carries more freight than rail, although the task is relatively even in both directions between Rockhampton and Townsville. On a distance basis, the mode share to road decreases marginally with distance while that to rail increases marginally. However, road is still dominant even on the longest distance movements between Brisbane and Cairns.
Closer examination of the data suggests that for bulk freight and non-bulk non-containerable freight, on a movement by movement basis, one mode is likely to tend to dominate, due to a natural advantage for that particular movement. This may be termed the "right mode for the task" effect, which is associated with parameters of the individual task. However, it is difficult to ascertain the reasons for mode selection in the non-bulk containerable freight segment.
With the modal competition evident, this freight corridor has diverse attributes that enable a useful investigation into the customer service provider/mode selection process for individual freight tasks. This will provide further insight into the modal distribution evident on the corridor.

In Alberta, Canada, an eminent paleontologist disappears from a dinosaur dig site, and at the Cambridge Forensic Center, Kay Scarpetta receives a grisly communication that gives her a dreadful reason to suspect this may become her next case. Then, with shocking speed, events begin to unfold. A body recovered from Boston Harbor reveals bizarre trace evidence hinting of a link to other unsolved cases that seem to have nothing in common. Who is behind all this? And whom can Scarpetta trust? Her lead investigator, Pete Marino, and FBI agent husband, Benton Wesley, are both unhappy with her because of personnel changes at the CFC, and her niece Lucy has become even more secretive than usual. Scarpetta fears she just may be on her own this time--against an enormously powerful and cunning enemy who seems impossible to defeat.--Publisher.

The three pictures which are sent to various sites leave out the walkers and focus on the survivors.
"The Walking Dead" is expected to be on of the most crowded panels at San Diego Comic Con this year. Before the the panel takes place on Friday, July 22, fans are treated with a number of season 2 photos which are spread on some online websites as exclusives.
The first one, from THR depicts Sarah Wayne Callies' Lori hiding from the walkers underneath what looks like a car. Meanwhile, MTV's picture is less tense with the survivors still whole, walking through the jungle. Rick Grimes leads the pack to pass Atlanta through the forest with his wife Lori hanging at the tail. Perhaps giving the clue closest to what happen after the lots left CDC is found in Los Angeles Times' pic. They, and the beloved RV, got stuck in the middle of a traffic.
The Comic Con session will take place at 11: 15 A.M. at Ballroom 20. Producers Frank Darabont and Robert Kirkman will be accompanied by some of the cast including Andrew Lincoln behind the desk. Footage from the new season is expected to be played during the panel.
