Target: United States Senate
Goal: Fund community behavioral health centers nationwide
A bipartisan bill that would expand access to mental health care has been introduced in the Senate, but has stalled as the underlying gun violence bill was pulled. Urge the Senate to vote on the mental health care bill regardless of their views on firearms legislation.
The Stabenow-Blunt Amendment, or the Excellence in Mental Health Act, would provide $1.4 billion in Medicaid funding over a 10-year period for community behavioral health centers nationwide. It has been tied in with gun control legislation, and has been stalled for months because the Senate failed to garner enough votes to pass a separate amendment on background checks for buying firearms. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid pulled the gun violence bill, which has left the mental health care amendment in limbo without a vote.
Recently, the Senate overwhelmingly passed a separate mental health bill with a 95-2 vote. The Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act, will strengthen suicide prevention programs and early intervention for mental illness. The overwhelming majority vote shows that there is clear bipartisan support for bolstering the mental health care system.
President Barack Obama said recently that mental health issues must be brought "out of the shadows." Urge the Senate to vote in favor of the Stabenow-Blunt Amendment on the Senate floor, effectively shining light on the issue by expanding mental health care services for Americans with mental illness nationwide.
Dear Senators,
I urge you to support the Sabenow-Blunt Amendment, also known as the Excellence in Mental Health Act, and bring it to a vote on the Senate floor. It is unfortunate that the Excellence Act has been tied in with gun control and background check legislation, because this obscures the underlying benefits of real mental health care reform.
The Excellence Act would provide $1.4 billion in Medicaid funding over a 10-year period for community behavioral health centers nationwide. Access to quality mental health care services would be expanded for Americans who would not have access to these services otherwise, such as the uninsured and those with low income.
The Senate has demonstrated overwhelming bipartisan support for the expansion of mental health care services by passing the Harkin-Alexander Amendment, also known as the Mental Health Awareness and Improvement Act. It is vital that the Senate demonstrate this unified front again, regardless of your views on firearm legislation. Support the Excellence Act and secure a vote before the full Senate, and pass this legislation. It would benefit Americans with mental illness and bring mental health care issues "out of the shadows," as President Barack Obama recently said we must do as a nation.

The easiest and most efficient way to book train travel from Dallas to San Antonio is through the Amtrak website. The carrier offers daily journeys between the two cities on the Texas Eagle with a duration of about 10 hours. The Amtrak site allows you to purchase one-way or roundtrip tickets in advance, which often is less expensive than buying them at the station on the day of travel.
Seating Options
Booking online gives you the ability to see all routes, times and fares before choosing the best one to meet your needs. Input your preferred day of travel, then choose between saver, value, flexible or premium price structures. Flexible tickets are 100-percent refundable, while value fares are refundable with restrictions and saver seats are nonrefundable. Premium seats are the most expensive and include a roomette with reclining seats that convert to a bed. Discount programs such as AAA, NARP and student status can be applied to all price levels except saver seats. Check for daily specials, SmartFares, weekday discounts and reduced pricing for military, seniors and children.
After choosing your tickets, click to access extras such as discounted hotels, rental cars and activities in either Dallas or San Antonio. After entering travel information such as your name, contact number and email address, decide whether to accept the offered travel insurance, then finalize the reservation with online payment by eVoucher or credit card.

NEW YORK (AP) For tourists, there's lots of news from New York City this fall, including a Broadway musical featuring the Grinch, the annual chocolate show and a discount pass to attractions around Rockefeller Center.
The musical adaptation of Dr. Seuss' holiday tale How the Grinch Stole Christmas is making its Broadway debut Nov. 8 at the Hilton Theatre. It will run until Jan. 7. Previews were to begin Oct. 25.
Explore New York: City guide | Interactive map
The Chocolate Show returns to Manhattan for the ninth year, Nov. 9-12, at the Metropolitan Pavilion and Altman Building, 125 W. 18th St. Renowned chocolatier Jacque Torres, Payard Patisserie and the Chocolate Bar are among those with booths offerings samples and new products. There will also be cooking demonstrations, a Kid's Chocolate Zone, and a Chocolate Lounge with chocolate-infused cocktails. A chocolate beauty bar will offer massages and chocolate treatments, and a book display will include chef signings. Tickets are $25 and available online at Ticketmaster.com or by phone at 212-307-7171.
The 2007 Zagat guide to New York City restaurants is out with a convenient new feature: a fold-out color map of the city's 50 most popular places to dine, according to the guide's surveyors. The top 10 on the most popular list are Gramercy Tavern, Union Square Cafe, Le Bernardin, Babbo, Peter Luger, Bouley, Gotham Bar & Grill, Daniel, Jean Georges and Blue Water Grill.
The book also includes lists of eateries by category, including best hotel dining, best people-watching, best child-friendly, and best ethnic food. Many restaurants in the survey are perennial favorites, but readers can also locate up-and-coming places on the "Noteworthy Newcomers" list. Top 10 newcomers were Telepan, The Orchard, Urena, A Voce, Morimoto, Country, Del Posto, Cookshop, Buddakan and Bouchon Bakery.
Those who can get to Manhattan on Nov. 10 for some early holiday shopping may want to check out Lucky Shops, sponsored by Lucky magazine. Last year's event drew 5,000 visitors from 36 states. Tickets are $50 at the door, 11 a.m.-7 p.m., 1356 Broadway at 36th Street. Tickets bought in advance from 866-458-2598 or www.luckyshops.com are discounted. Bags, shoes, jewelry and apparel chosen by Lucky experts from top designers, labels and boutiques will be offered at up to 70% below retail.
Looking ahead to the Christmas holiday season, no visit to the Big Apple in December would be complete without a stop at Rockefeller Center to see the skaters and the famous tree, which will be lit Nov. 29.
A new "Rock Pass" combination ticket gets you on the NBC Studio Tour, the Radio City Stage Door Tour and to the Top of the Rock Observation Deck for $45, about 17% less than you would pay if you bought tickets to the three attractions separately. Top of the Rock admission is by timed entry, so you won't wait long for your panoramic views of the Empire State Building, Central Park and the city's bridges and waterways as seen from the 67th, 69th and 70th floors of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. You can buy the Rock Pass at any of the participating attractions. For more information about the observatory, visit www.topoftherocknyc.com.
Also available is a $30 combination ticket that covers admission to Top of the Rock and the Museum of Modern Art, which is just a few blocks away on 53rd Street off of Fifth Avenue.

2009 Mazda 6
An all-new 6 is set to debut at the Frankfurt auto show in September.
We're not sure how much of the Ford Mondeo is incorporated into the European Mazda 6 platform, but we hope a lot. Either way, Mazda has a pretty good track record of pumping out fun-to-drive cars in spite of the best efforts of its parent company's in-house cost cutters.
For the U.S. market, the next-gen 6 will be offered only as a sedan and five-door hatch. Low demand for the current Mazda 6 Sport wagon, which was discontinued for '08, has rendered it a no deal for the second-gen 6 in America. (The Continent is expected to be able to purchase a wagon version of its 6, however.)
As for the Mazdaspeed 6, which is also gone for '08, let's just say it's on hiatus until the new 6 gets its legs. We see a direct-injection turbocharged V-6 with all-wheel drive in its future, similar (although probably not identical) to the system found in the upcoming Lincoln MKS. The all-wheel-drive variant will likely appear along with a hybrid within a year of the U.S. version's debut.
Expect even more acute handling, as well as a choice of more potent four-cylinder and V-6 engines under the hood, the latter being the corporate 3.5-liter of about 260 horsepower (as found in many other FoMoCo products).
U.S. models will continue to be built at the same plant in Flat Rock, Michigan, that has been building the 6 since the beginning, with the vehicle reaching dealerships in early '08 as '09 models.

Description: The recent interpretation of Maya hieroglyphs has given us the first written history of the New World as it existed before the European invasion. In this book, two of the first central figures in the massive effort to decode the glyphs, Linda Schele and David Freidel, make this history available in all its detail. A Forest of Kings is the story of Maya kingship, from the beginning of its institution and the first great pyramid builders two thousand years ago to the decline of Maya civilization and its destruction by the Spanish. Here the great historic rulers of pre-Columbian civilization come to life again with the decipherment of their writing. At its height, Maya civilization flourished under great kings like Shield-Jaguar, who ruled for more than sixty years, expanding his kingdom and building some of the most impressive works of architecture in the ancient world. Long placed on a mist-shrouded pedestal as austere, peaceful stargazers, the Maya elites are now known to have been the rulers of populous, aggressive city-states. Hailed as "a Rosetta stone of Maya civilization" (Brian M. Fagan, author of People of the Earth), A Forest of Kings is "a must for interested readers," says Evon Vogt, professor of anthropology at Harvard University.

A mad mix of Latin and funky rhythms – a 70s classic from the Belgian group Chakachas! The album's best known for its title hit "Jungle Fever" – an insane cut that features heavy drums, choppy guitar, and a stop/start action that's peppered with sounds of female pleasure! The track was a worldwide hit, and continues to be a funky classic today – thanks to a heavy sample history, and a life in playlists worldwide – but the rest of the album's pretty darn great too, and even weirder. Some tracks mix easy Euro grooving with heavy conga, others have kind of an LA Chicano funk approach, and still others throw in some mad horns to complicate matters with nice jazzy riffing. Really great throughout – and maybe one of the best funky albums to ever come out on a major label! Titles include "Jungle Fever", "El Canyon Rojo", "Chica Chica Bau Bau", "Eso Es El Amor", "Ay Mulata", "Cha Ka Cha", "Latin Can Can", and "Yo Soy Cubano".

We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

Dietary information Kosher
Test kitchen tips
For best results, use the dough cycle on your bread machine and bake the loaf in an 8½" x 4½" pan in the oven at 350°F for 35 to 45 minutes. Baking in the machine will result in a shorter, somewhat denser loaf.
To make rolls: Divide dough into 8 pieces. Shape into balls, and place in a lightly greased 9" round pan. Cover and let rise for about 1 hour, or until almost doubled. Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 20 to 25 minutes, until golden brown. Brush with melted butter and serve warm.

Motion Capture, or Mo-cap is a technique of recording realistic movements. It is used for movies and video games.
Here's a basic, stripped-down, vague explanation: Instead of having the artists in a video game animate the 3D models from scratch, they hire someone to wear a skin-tight black suit covered in ping-pong balls at specific joints and tell them to move around. These movements are recorded onto the magical computer, and then they do something that makes the models move just like the recorded information.
Motion capture is an expensive process, but it gives the most realistic animation possible.

These technologies drastically lowered sequencing costs and increased sequencing throughput. They radically changed molecular biology and computational biology, as data generation is no longer a bottleneck.

Metagenomics, also known as "environmental genomics", provides an alternative to traditional single- genome studies for exploring the microbial world. Most microorganisms (up to 99% of Bacteria
HTS technologies provide fragments of sequences (called reads) of length a few hundred base pairs without any information about the locus nor the orientation on the molecule they come from. In the metagenomic context, an additional difficulty comes from the fact that each read may belong to any species.
Nowadays, it is difficult to assemble complex metagenomes (such as soil or water metagenomes) into longer consensus sequences, because reads from different species may be merged into one chimeric sequence. Mende and colleagues

The index data structure we use is based on a Bloom filter, specially designed for the task of storing efficiently a huge set of
Bloom filter
A Bloom filter is a probabilistic data structure designed to test the membership of elements in a set
This data structure is probabilistic in nature, as false positives are possible. Even if an element is not in the set, its bits in the array may still be all set to one. This is because the bits associated to an element may independently be associated to other elements. Hence, the Bloom filter returns a wrong answer with non-zero probability. This probability is the
The Bloom Data Structure index
In this article, we consider a slightly different variation of Bloom filters: instead of using a single array of bits, each hash function corresponds to a distinct array, disjoint from all other functions. In terms of performance, with uniform hash functions, this variation is asymptotically equivalent to the original definition
Particular hash functions The hash functions used in this framework are a specific family of functions, which can be efficiently computed on consecutive
One important property of these functions is that there is a simple relationship between the hash values of two consecutive

Dealing with false positives
Our approach may generate false positives for two reasons we describe in the two upcoming sections, which also expose solutions for limiting these effects.

Choice of parameters The comparison of these FP curves led us to choose the combination of the three balanced functions plus an unbalanced one. This choice is motivated by the fact that unbalanced functions are not essential, as they have a limited effect on the FP rate (Figure

July 2015 - Norwegian Dawn to Bermuda
Had a wonderful cruise to Bermuda. It was great not to have to fly to get to our departure port. Black Falcon terminal worked great for us. Easy to get on and off the ship. Norweign Dawn was a great ship. The food was fabulous, at the buffets and at the restaurants. There was plenty of seats available at the buffet for everyone. This was the best food I have had on any cruise I have been on. The only negative of the cruise was TRYING to get a drink. The bar staff was under staffed and didn't really care if you got a drink or not. They were not very nice at all. When you did get a drink it was very weak. The rest of the Norwegn staff was very nice especially our room Stewart. Plenty to do on the ship you will not be disappointed. Bermuda was great. We did Parisailing , a jet ski tour and visited the caves. The bus system worked great for us. We had a great trip and I would definitely do it again.

There is an element of controversy surrounding the means by which companies market themselves via email. Many people argue that the mass sending of emails is no more than unsolicited junk mail and that in the current age of social media sites such as Facebook there are far more effective means of promotion available. Whilst there is an element of truth to these dissenting voices there is no need to write off email marketing completely as when used properly it can be a highly profitable means of promoting your business. Provided you follow a few simple basic practices there is no reason why your email campaign shouldn't deliver a return.
In order to prevent people deleting your email straight away it will help if you have a well written subject line. Try to avoid using language which may considered too 'salesy' such as 'guaranteed' or 'free' as this is likely to raise a red flag with anyone reading it. Try to spend time thinking of a subject line which will both grab the attention of the reader and entice them to find out more by clicking on your email. If you are using email marketing software which enables you to include the customer's name then try and do that as personalization could make a big difference. Making the recipient feel less like a number on a spreadsheet could make the difference between making a sale or not.
If you are going to have a chance of making any money off the back of your campaign then you will need to make sure that your email contains links to your website. When doing this it may be tempting to include as many links as possible, however this is likely to compromise the integrity of your email and simply make it look cluttered and poorly thought out. The less links you, the more likely you are to achieve click-throughs to your site. Try to avoid the temptation of including an animated banner in your email as this is a sure fire way of putting people off.
Do bear in mind that due to the increase in spam emails over the past 10 years legislation has been introduced to combat this nuisance. Make sure that you adhere to your country's legislation in order to prevent your emails being sent to recipients who have not requested them. Even if customers have signed up to your emailing list you are now required to include an 'opt out' link at the bottom of your email so that people can unsubscribe easily. You should handle any unsubscribe requests as promptly and courteously as possible.
If you end up sending out unsolicited emails then it is almost a certainty that this will result in complaints being sent to your internet service provider. It doesn't matter how sure you are that you have complied with all relevant regulations, your customers may not agree.
Once you are up to speed with these basic principles of email marketing then you will be ready to help boost your sales!

Apparently, motherhood is the same way. My daughter is currently 17 months old and in the climbing stage. She climbs or attempts to climb on everything and anything. Seriously. She even tries to climb up walls. And I am frazzled from the moment she wakes up until she goes to bed.
I can't relax or turn my back for a second. It's exhausting. Not to mention I am able to accomplish absolutely nothing now. I can't even brush my teeth w/out her trying to stand on top of the toilet tank. (And let's not even discuss trying to actually go to the bathroom!)
As so many moms today do, I posted my frustration on Facebook and Twitter yesterday. I wrote: "DD is actually attempting to climb up the wall of my bedroom. OMG, when does this stage/obsession end?!" Here are some of the comments I received:
- I think 25 is a pretty safe bet
- My son went from chairs to walls and doors to people
- If she's anything like my monkey: never.
- Ours hasn't ended yet. My (7 year old) daughter climbs door frames, trees, ledges, retaining walls, etc etc!!
- After she falls a few times it will sink in
- Give her a safe "climbing" period every day. Do you have a swing set/jungle gym? Maybe just some good park time every day... Ideally it would tire her out and give her her climbing fix for the day! (The most appreciated comment, although it would probably never work with my daughter)
- You'll stop freaking out after she pulls every towel bar and curtain rod out of the wall and decides that running is a far better way to make mommy scream in panic
Here's the thing. I wasn't actually looking for a dose of reality. I know the answer to my own question. I just wanted somebody to commiserate with me to make me feel better. A little dose of, "Been there, dealt with that. You'll get through it." I know it is normal behavior and plenty of other moms have experienced it. I'm aware it's going to go on for a long time and I just need to suck it up and deal. Nobody needs to tell me that.
But sometimes, all I want is for someone to offer a simple, "Hang in there, girl!" (Pun intended.) Of course, I can't expect people to know what I am looking for from them on a given day. Any more than I can stop my daughter's climbing obsession. Can I?

Piru piru piru piru piru piru piru Kacha! Magellan: "What's the condition? I am almost there!"
The caller: "Well hurry, he is alone and drinking rum but that does not mean his companions are going to stay away forever."
Magellan: "Yes I am almost near the mountain you said, now which way?"
The caller: "Turn left…then…"
Where the Kid prates were battling:
Shiliew: "What have we here? Some of us were supposed to take you down but it looks like there has been some trouble; it is highly unlikely that you defeated them, so you must have hid from them."
Law: "Well let's just say that we are more cautious than the others, now prepare yourself!"
Shiliew: "Is that supposed to be a threat? You think that you can take me on?"
Killer: "Well he is not alone you know!"
Law: "You stay down, that's the right place for you."
Killer: "Listen to me, this not the time for foolish differences, we can beat him if we work together but alone none of us have even a slight hope to accomplish that, you understand?"
Law: "Whatever just don't slow me down."
Shiliew: "Even together you don't stand a chance against the strongest swordsman in the world!
On the other side:
Pizarro: "Huh and you are worth 420 million? Pathetic!"
Kid (badly injured, bleeding all over and panting): "Only if there were enough metals around, you would not live long enough to say those words."
Pizarro: "Grahahahaha, a true warrior does not complain about how the stage is set up. You are a coward, now to finish you off. Ancient Predatory - Fangs of Doom!" He jumped forward in his hybrid form, catching Kid in a bear hug like maneuver and then suddenly turned into full beast mood and tried to bite Kid's throat. Kid however managed to bring his dagger in the path to block the attack with his magnetic powers.
Kid: "Inward Flux! The metal pieces that Kid used earlier was scattered though out the place, suddenly rose up in the air and rushed in a tremendous velocity to Kid's body, however as Pizarro was much bigger than Kid in his hybrid form and in between kid and the metals, he was caught in the barrage.
Pizarro: "Uh! Annoying little pest, don't you understand, this will not work on me? My body is naturally hard in this form and I have trained in a similar fashion as those marines and can make my body tough like their Tekkai technique. The difference is I can also move as I wish to during combat while still maintaining the hardness. Not many people can do that you know. Now you will get the punishment for annoying me, Bestial Claw!" He jumped forward and slashed Kid wish his talons, the force behind the attack was so fierce that it literally made cuts in the wind and his nails became red hot with the friction with the air. Kid tried to dodge it but it was just too fast, he was caught in the chest by a little bit, making blood gush out of two long and deep wounds.
Kid (screaming in pain): "Damn you!"
Pizarro: "Game over! Ancient Predatory – Razing Beast!" He changed completely into his beast form, growing huge by the process and pounced at Kid, when his fangs were only a matter of inches away from Kid's throat, he suddenly froze and hung in the air!
Pizarro: What the hell is this!
Behind them Laffitte was making short work of kids subordinates, only the fire breathing guy with blue hair was still fighting. But suddenly out of nowhere a white whirl came and kicked him in the face, sending him flying.
"Haiiiiya!" The talking Beard named Bepo announced himself.
On the other side:
Law: "Room Scatter! He held out his hand and motioned at Shiliew to separate him into parts."
Shiliew: "Huh, how come you think that will ever work on me, Tornado Whirl!" He held his sword with both hands and spun in an incredible speed creating a lot of dust. When it cleared he was standing in a fighting stance, completely unharmed.
Law: So you have busoshuko haki?
Shiliew: "That's one of my many abilities. But enough talk! Rain in the winter, Deathly Downpour!" He made an attack similar to the Deathly Torrent but with four slashes rather than two, it stared a literal rain of tiny but potent needle like attacks on his opponents.
Law: "Room, Exchange!" He formed his sphere above him in the path of Shiliew's attack and exchanged the needle slashes with leaves from the nearby trees. Then he jumped at Shiliew and slashed with his Nodachi at the former warden's head.
Shiliew brought up is sword to block the blow, Killer rushed to him with both his scythes in hands and then pounced at Shiliew's back while bringing the blades together, trying to decapitate him behind. Shiliew turned his sword in an angle, with its tip blocking one of Killer's scythe and the bottom of the hilt blocking another, while blade itself blocked Law's attack. Then suddenly he sat down in a semi squatting position and made a back flip, kicking law in the chin while doing it. He moved over Killer and landed behind him and wasted to time to stab Killer from back with the full intention of piercing his heart. Though Killer managed to move aside just in time to avoid the fatality of the blow, his shoulder took the damage.
Law (getting up): "I never expected you to be athletic with that size."
Shiliew: "Well I admit that I hate jumping around but if need be there no problem doing it."
Law: "Let's see what you do about this!" He took up a rock from the ground and threw it to Shiliew.
Shiliew (looking surprised): Caught the rock, "This is supposed to hurt me?"
Law: "Translate!" Suddenly Shiliew found that he is holding the tip of the blade of Law's sword instead, with Law just behind it. Law pulled the sword off Shiliew's grip and tried to stab his chest, but Shiliew side stepped, resulting Law to trip and then he swung down to take his (Law's) head off, only this time his sword was blocked by a pair of scythes.
Killer: "Now we are even Law!" Law jumped away from Shiliew. He looked confused, "No matter how fast you are, it was impossible to dodge that attack unless you knew precisely what I was going to do."
Shiliew: "Yeah I knew what you were trying, ever heard Kenbunshoku haki?"
Law: "Figures."
Shiliew: "Ok enough fooling around! I don't have all day you know. Rain Stopper!" He sent a huge ranged slash attack at Law and then dashed at him with his sword drawn back; Law stopped the slash with his sword.
Shiliew: "Too late!" He hacked at law from the side.
Law: "Is that so? Interchange! " Suddenly Law's sword and Shiliew's attack changed places and Law's sword came at him, which he held by the hilt. The slash came to Shiliew form the back.
Shiliew: "Arghhhh!" He was hit by the immense slash of his own on the back, blood surged out of his back. "Now Killer!" Law shouted, Killer wasted no time and rushed Shiliew, but the larger man got up just in time to block his attack.
Shiliew (panting): "You are a crafty one there. I must not drag it any longer! Blood Bath!" He suddenly moved so fast that neither Killer nor Law could follow him.
Buggy: "Take her down men!"
Escapees: "Yes Captain Buggy." All the Escapees rushed to Catarina Devon. The original Buggy crew followed suit.
Mr 3: "She is too powerful!"
Buggy (mumbling): "Yeah she is!"
Mr 3: "Well I have trained so hard just for times like this." He started to form a huge hammer like object with his wax. Devon was making short work of her opponents. The only strong ones there were the five inmates from Impel Down but they were nothing compared to the most notorious female criminal of the world.
Buggy: "What are you doing?"
Mr 3: "Don't question, hurry up and give me as many of those Muggy balls you have!"
Buggy: "Ok I have ten, take them. Mr 3 took five bombs and put them inside the striking part of his hammer so that they would explode when the hammer is hit."
Mr 3: "Now follow my lead."
Buggy: "Whom are you ordering around? I am the Densetsuno Buggysama."
Mr 3: "Just do it. I will hit her with this while you will use your power to sneak up on her from behind and blast her with those bombs. You must use them efficiently, this is the only chance we will get, our men won't last much longer."
Buggy: "Ok I will try but I am Buggy the Clown, I will do it in a flashy way."
Mr 3: "Forget about being flashy." He ran to Devon and raised his huge hammer to hit her. Suddenly, a finger much bigger than the hammer blocked its path which resulted in an explosion of the bombs inside it.
Sanjuan Wolf: "Ow that hurts!" He held his injured figure protectively."
Mr 3: "Oh no! Run for it!"
In the Beach:
Enel: "this fight has dragged out over an hour, why won't you give up, you stubborn fools? You can't hurt me!"
He was right; neither Crocodile nor Daz Bones could hurt him however he managed to hurt both of them. Crocodile was less affected but still took damage as sand was not a complete insulator.
Crocodile (whispering to Bones): "Ok this is our only chance, you must hold him long enough to get this done."
Bones: "I will try my best."
Crocodile: "Let's go. Desert Spada! Sables!" He sent two consecutive powerful attacks at Enel.
Enel: "Pointless!" He just stood there and allowed the attacks to pass by.
Bones (snuck in by the distraction of the sand storm): "Got you, now Boss!"
Crocodile: "Desert la Spada! He sent the more powerful version this time and amazingly it did hit Enel because Daz Bones was holding Enel's wrist while he transformed his own legs into steel, channeling Enel's electricity into the ground."
Enel: "Cruse you, let go, Mamuragan!" He hit Bones all over the body with his violent attack, knocking him out cold, but he himself took serious damage from a direct hit by Crocodile's best attack. He tried to keep standing but fall down.
Crocodile approached him, "you gave us a lot of trouble, now to deal with you permanently!" He extended his right hand to hold Enel's hand, planning to suck him dry. However, when he did that, Enel grabbed him back, he grinned, "test my new ultimate attack, Zeus!"
Well guys, I wanted to finish all the fights between the BB pirates and the Supernova+Buggy+Crocodile alliance on this part, but I think it has become too long. So the rest will be on the next part. Next time it will be the continuation of these battles as well as the battles between Hawkins and Doc Q with Van Auger Dealing with Hawkin's crew, also who is the mysterious caller of Magellan's den den mushi and about whom is he talking? Where are Jean Bart, X Drake, Scratchman Appo, Black Beard, Jesus Burgess and Vasco Shot? Who is the challenger of Akainu from the last part (I admitted in the comment that he is Garp) and who else is there with him? And when are we going to see the Straw Hats in action? All of it, next time! Please excuse any mistakes and do comment. Thanks.

Wild Heaven Releasing Emmylou 10/5
10 October 2016
18 months ago our Brewmaster, Eric, and his production team began aging a blend of golden ale in Bordeaux barrels. Fermented in steel tanks, what followed in the wood was a mixed fermentation including brettanomyces and lactobacillus. The result is radiant.
Five golden fruits - kumquats, D'Anjou pears, canteloupe, gooseberry and Asian persimmon were added to dozens of barrels - only one fruit per barrel. The beer ranges from 12 to 18 months of barrel aging and the maturity shows. A final careful blending process created a beautiful tart beer with the oak shining through.
Thus begins a new series for Wild Heaven Beer. We're excited to introduce Emmylou first. Another from the series will appear every few months in the coming year and hopefully beyond. We've already got four more in the barrels and each one will be unique. It goes without saying that each of these barrel-aged fruited sours will be a very limited release with only a small amount making it to retail shelves.
We're opening early on 10/15 for a special Emmylou Tour. In town for Decatur Beer Fest? Come hang out with us first. $50 entrance includes
36oz of tastings at the brewery including Emmylou
Special Emmylou cheese pairings
Four (4) 500ml souvenir bottles of Emmylou

We have a 4 year old son that will be starting kindergarten in the fall and I am looking for info on good schools to consider, also looking for recommendations on neighborhoods.We love open spaces and enjoying growing our own vegetables. We have heard good thing about Hollymead, Crozet,and Nelson County. We plan to rent for the first year so that we will have time to familiarize ourselves with the area. I will telecommute and will have to travel to Harrisonburg and take Amtrak to DC occasionally. I am a working mama looking for a community with:
-High regards for sustainability and green living
-Access to organic foods/local farms
-Progressive thinking
-Holistic/Alternative health options, alternate/no-vax friendly docs
-Low crime
-Outdoor activities
-Good schools that think outside the box (not traditional), my biggest concern is getting into a school that crushes creativity and that doesn't value a child as an individual.
My husband and I, are looking forward to our move and meeting like minded individuals in the area. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Bumping up for input. Anyone in the area with advice to share?

text: Politics 5 March 2001 Tell the truth about food Sign up for our weekly email * What is it about modern life that turns things our ancestors would have regarded with relative equanimity into national crises? In the 19th and early 20th centuries, outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease - which does not actually kill animals, much less humans - occurred almost annually. Politicians did not then call emergency meetings, nor did various bossy-boots tell everybody to stay at home. So what has changed? First, modern farming is so intensive, so dependent on maximum use of investment, land and raw materials, that it cannot tolerate the inefficiencies of temporarily sick animals, producing less milk and less meat. Second, food distribution is so integrated nationally that a disease which, in 1967, could be almost confined to a few counties in Wales and the west can now spread from the north-east to the south-west in days. A foot-and-mouth outbreak is thus a doubly ironic comment on modern farming methods, which increase the risks that disease will spread while ensuring that what was once a setback for farmers is now a catastrophe. As Colin Tudge pointed out in an NS essay last month, agriculture has neglected the principles of traditional husbandry: that, to minimise the possibilities of infection, animals should not be overcrowded; and that, to prevent microbes feasting on corpses, the time and distance between slaughter and consumption should be as short as possible. We have allowed agriculture and food distribution, influenced by the rapacity of supermarkets, to develop like other modern profit-making industries, with the emphasis on high productivity and efficiency. So cows are fed on ground animal remains as a cheap source of protein. More animals are reared more intensively on fewer farms. Abattoirs are subject to economies of scale so that their numbers have fallen by nearly two-thirds in 15 years. Livestock travel an average of 100 miles for slaughter, and sometimes from Northumberland to Essex. Centralised supermarket distribution systems create further delay between slaughter and consumption. Imagine, then, that ministers announce new regulations to put a stop to all this nonsense, which is not much less foolish than the Soviet collectivisation of farms. Imagine that food prices rise steeply as a result. Would the newspapers that now run articles deploring intensive farming politely applaud this result? Would such a government have the remotest chance of winning a subsequent election? In your dreams. This is a perfect illustration of Professor Eric Hobsbawm's argument on page 25 of this issue. Liberal democracy, at its present stage of development, is poorly equipped to deal with the biggest 21st-century problems. Since electors are now encouraged by politicians and the media to vote according to their personal interests - rising living standards, lower taxes and so on - democracy is scarcely distinguishable in its effects from the market consumerism that, according to its advocates, is a better gauge of what people really want. Either way, we are trapped in the tyranny of small choices. People buy (or vote for) cheap food; for most individuals on modest budgets, this is a perfectly rational choice. But the result - animals reared in inhumane conditions and at risk of disease, which may sometimes (as with BSE or E coli) be transmissible to humans - is one that nobody would freely choose. Again, it is perfectly rational for individuals to vote for lower taxes; to take the car to work or shopping (and to resist attempts to prevent them doing so); or to get the best school, even if it means paying, for their own children. Yet anybody who deliberately chose the results - cash-starved public services, global warming and a socially divisive education system - would be thought to have taken leave of their senses. As Professor Hobsbawm argues, political decisions should be "about common or group interests as distinct from the sum of choices . . . of individuals pursuing private preferences". But democratic politicians, at least in public discourse, have all but forgotten this truth. Ruled by marketing gurus, they segment the electorate into notional types - Worcester woman, Mondeo man, Pebble-dash person - who seem united only by suburban self-interest and narrow-mindedness. They defer to a US theory that, with deference dead and external threats minimised, western rulers need a "daily mandate" to ensure continuing public support. So the Tories change their policies almost as often as they change their clothes, in response to the latest focus group or private poll. Labour sometimes strives to do the right thing, but nervously, believing that it can get away with it only if it also panders to the public's basest instincts, as on asylum-seekers and crime. None of this should be an argument against democracy. As Professor Hobsbawm observes, governments must have dialogue with the people if they are to understand how techno-political solutions affect real human beings. But we need better leadership, from politicians willing to confront the public with hard choices and unpalatable truths. We can expect nothing before the election; but Tony Blair, once safely back in Downing Street, could make a start by telling the British that they must pay much more for their food. Leave our dead atheists alone Will nobody leave our dead heroes in peace? It is just about tolerable to expose Field Marshal Montgomery as a repressed homosexual with paedophiliac tendencies, or Winston Churchill as a depressive prone to alcoholic binges. But to claim that the philosopher and philanderer A J Ayer, who ridiculed all metaphysical statements as nonsense, got religion near the end of his life is deeply shocking. In 1988, after an operation, Ayer's heart "stopped" for four minutes. Now a doctor has told the Sunday Telegraph that Ayer reported seeing a red light and a Divine Being and said he would have to "revise all my books and opinions". If there were an atheistic version of blasphemy, this would be it. Apply Occam's razor, as Ayer surely did on reflection. He saw a Divine Being as he came back to life. It was the nurse.

text: I have some custom BB codes that used to stay in background while directly applying formatting to the text in messages. Say, an [H1][/H2] pair of tags would format text as a heading while hiding the tags themselves. This would work both when creating a message and when editing it. After updating from version 1.5.7 to 1.5.8 I noticed that the formatting is no longer applied to the text in the edit mode, instead one sees plain text with BB code tags in it. The direct formatting in the edit mode still works though when creating messages. What's the possible cause of this change of behavior? Does the problem lie in XF, or should I fix things on my side?

Love the throat hit on this and the flavor was enjoyable too. However, in my RDA once the juice got to a certain point it began to give me wet mouth. Quite odd really.
This new rating screen sucks. It is NOT user friendly and seems to have several hiccups. I wanted to rate and comment on all flavors but it will not let me. Also.... This flavor is NOT appealing at all.
I let it steep for a few weeks. Its not a smooth VG vape; it has a strong throat hit. I can definitely taste the berry on inhale and exhale with a little peach flavor. Don't really notice the citrus flavor. Not something I'd buy again. Taste is subjective though so what I don't like others might love.

Nicaragua came with the tag as being a bit of a favourite amongst other travellers, so Macca and Brianna we're extremely excited to see what it had to offer and whether it lived up to its reputation for themselves. What they discovered was a country of unparalleled beauty, kind and generous people, and enough adventure activities to keep any adrenaline junkie happy. In this episode Macca and Brianna try out volcano boarding for the first time, hike to the top of El Hoyo before swimming in a crater lake, spend a night on the tiles in San Juan del Sur, even manage to pick up a new travelling companion, before finishing off zooming around the island Ometepe.

Amber Rose: I'm boring in the bedroom
Amber Rose thinks she is a bore in the bedroom.
The curvaceous model believes she would shock people with just how mundane she is in her love life, insisting she is just a "normal girl".
The 32-year-old beauty - who was married to rapper Wiz Khalifa from 2013 until earlier this year - shared: "People really think that I have orgies all day and I do, like, these crazy sex acts - I'm really just a normal girl."
Amber claimed the public would struggle to believe how unadventurous she is between the sheets, as it contrasts so sharply with the general perception of her.
She told 'The Amber Rose Show': "I feel like I'm just such a nerd in the bedroom."
Amber, who also previously dated rap star Kanye West, claimed men are usually quiet when they are in bed with her because they find her to be intimidating.
She said: "Men are so scared of me. I literally will go out on a date, and a guy's like [trembling]. They're f**king scared of me - they're terrified of me."
Meanwhile, Amber recently insisted she doesn't need a man as "anything a man can get for her, she can get for herself".
She said: "I'm not a convenient girl. I can't just fly out whenever they want me to fly out. I can't just go on vacation whenever they want to go. I have employees and a son. I have a lot on my plate. They are welcome to come along for the ride but I can't just come on every call.
"They have to come along for my ride, I can't come along for theirs. I really don't need a man for anything. I have a house, my own cars and own money. I think some men want a girl they can semi take care of where the girl has her own little job. It's not like that for me. Anything a man can get me, I can get for myself."

The good news for Houston this weekend was joining the USA TODAY Top 25 poll at No. 12 after starting 2-0. The bad news is the possibility quarterback Case Keenum could miss the Cougars' game at UCLA this weekend.
Keenum left the team's 52-24 defeat of UTEP after a hit during the third quarter. Houston coach Kevin Sumlin called Keenum "day-to-day."
"Most people saw that he was injured on Friday night and that at that time he was displaying symptoms of a mild concussion," Sumlin said. "But since then, his condition has improved dramatically."
Sumlin also noticed a change in Keenum's attitude since the injury on Friday night.
"From the time he was sitting on the bench to the last couple of days of conversation, (he's been) smiling," Sumlin said. "Obviously, he wasn't in a great mood Friday night. His demeanor, everything else (has improved)."
Should Keenum be unavailable, junior backup Cotton Turner would likely step in. Cotton replaced him against UTEP and completed nine of 10 passes for 69 yards and a touchdown while leading the Cougars to 17 points.

Cover of Harrowsmith (Spring 2017)
|Yolanda Thornton
|James M. Lawrence
|Year founded
|Moongate Inc.
Harrowsmith Country Life was a resourceful magazine that explored and showcased country living. Originally called Harrowsmith, the magazine was heralded as a back-to-the-land and environmental issues platform. In 1976, founder James M. Lawrence cut and paste the first issues together on a kitchen table in the tiny village of Camden East (pop. 256) in Ontario, Canada. Within two years, the magazine had over 100,000 subscribers and eventually became Canada's 8th largest magazine. It was the leading Canadian magazine read outside of Canada.
In 1988, Lawrence sold Harrowsmith to Canadian media giant, Telemedia, where it remained until 1996. Telemedia launched an American edition, and the words "Country Life" were tacked onto Harrowsmith's title. The American edition reached a paid circulation of 225,000 but folded as Telemedia began making changes to their publishing business.
Editor Tom Cruickshank came on board, taking the helm of Harrowsmith Country Life in 1996, after Telemedia sold Harrowsmith Country Life, and its sister publication Equinox, to Malcolm Publishing, a Montreal, QC company. Equinox ceased publishing in 2000 and its coveted mailing list was sold to Canadian Geographic. Harrowsmith went on to celebrate 30 years of publishing in 2006.
Harrowsmith TV exists as re-runs and Harrowsmith books can still be found. Some titles, such as the popular mainstay Harrowsmith Cookbook (three volumes) are still available through Amazon and Firefly Books. Telemedia no longer exists and many of its assets were sold to Transcontinental Media in 2000.
In 2011, Harrowsmith Country Life published a single issue in March and in August 2011 the magazine announced that it would cease publication just short of its 35th anniversary issue.[1] It failed to notify subscribers that the magazine would suspend publishing and those subscribers who had paid for their magazines in advance did not have their money refunded.
In the fall of 2012, after obtaining the licensing rights to Harrowsmith, Yolanda Thornton, a former employee, revived Harrowsmith magazine starting with its sister publication: Harrowsmith's Truly Canadian Almanac for 2013.[2] Moongate Inc. (Toronto, ON) which is also owned by Yolanda Thornton assumed the publishing for Harrowsmith. The 2013 edition was received positively and sold well to long-time fans with nostalgic relationships to the original magazine.
In the spring of 2013, a second issue was added to the roster: Harrowsmith's Gardening Digest.[3] In 2015 the addition of two more titles saw the release of four issues that year: Harrowsmith's Gardening Digest, Harrowsmith's My Kind of Town, Harrowsmith's Homes and the annual 2015 Harrowsmith's Almanac. For the 2015 annual fall almanac edition (published September 2014), the title was shortened to Harrowsmith's Almanac.
In 2015 and 2016, Harrowsmith embraced the digital market and reached a wider audience with a new format. Two print issues were published (spring and fall) and two online editions (summer and winter) were included in annual subscriptions. "Country Life" was dropped from the title; addressing a broader demographic appeal to eating locally grown foods and a simpler lifestyle.
Today, with four issues a year, Harrowsmith magazine continues to be a trusted Canadian resource for living simply and sustainably. Since James Lawrence's kitchen table ambitions in 1976 to the current publication, the content remains the same. Harrowsmith will always be about reconnecting: to food, land and community. The Fall Almanac is still hotly anticipated for its annual seed guide, astronomy and weather sections. From gardening tips to DIY projects, seasonal recipes, home and design features and travel ideas, Harrowsmith resonates with both urban and rural readers alike.

Catch turns seven
The performance series gears up for its anniversary.
Mon Aug 23 2010
THE SHOW GOES ON Dinwiddie, left, and Larson preside over a night of Catch
What makes a running show last? In 2003, Jenny Seastone Stern initiated Catch, a bimonthly showcase for the emerging avant-garde that came to life at Galapagos when the space was located in Williamsburg. A year later, Andrew Dinwiddie and Jeff Larson took over the program (Caleb Hammons is also in the fold, as the administrative director). On Saturday 28, the 40th edition of Catch will take place at the Bushwick Starr with a typically standard evening of seven-minute works by Anna Azrieli, Sara Barron, Milka Djordjevich, Beth Gill, Living Things and Chris Schlichting (Neal Medlyn, performing for 14 minutes, gets two slots). The evening, which will be followed by a party, marks Catch's seventh year. In honor, the curators chatted about its ongoing appeal.
On the curatorial process:
Jeff Larson: The enterprise of Catch shifted gears fairly dramatically when we took over and started talking about what we wanted to do. It was basically the same format, but [we considered] the question of who Catch was presenting and how to encourage work that was more considered. Of course, you're always going to have someone throw something up there when you are not prescreening the work, but we had specific ways in which we thought, Oh, maybe by bringing some more established people into the mix, that will change the way that people think about what they're doing and how they're preparing. David Neumann and Cynthia Hopkins did pieces on our first show. We think of it as a potential incubator for works and also for artists who don't have larger opportunities.
Andrew Dinwiddie: For a while, we asked people to do seven minutes one month and then 14 minutes a few months later—just to encourage them to get closer to their goal of doing a full show. But we really ask people to do whatever they want. We almost always phrase our invitations as, "Would you like to do seven minutes of whatever you want at Catch?" Anna Azrieli asked [to be in Catch], and I had seen her at Dixon Place a while ago in a piece that I couldn't really tell whether I hated; it bothered me so much that I ended up thinking it was good. We make a conscious effort to not be sure about everybody on the program. There's got to be at least one wildcard.
Larson: I think a lot of our curatorial input comes not just in choosing the artists, but in knowing what the dance or theater schedule is for that coming year, or what people have just recently done. We have a sense of, well, if we ask this person they're probably going to present work that's related to an upcoming show. Or, we haven't seen this person do anything in a while—let's reach out.
On the show itself:
Dinwiddie: We have beer. That's one of the most important things about it for us. We'd refuse to do it at a place that didn't have beer.
Larson: That makes me think: When we started doing Catch, we didn't know exactly what we wanted it to be. In moving away from Galapagos and starting to do it at other places, one thing I quickly began to realize is that a huge part of the show is that it's a community event. There are probably more than enough variety shows presenting short work. I think there is a balance that we need to strike between how we're serving artists who are part of the show and then, ultimately, how we're serving our audience.
Dinwiddie: And if we're not serving the specific audience, then we're not serving the community because they won't come. I feel like people really do enjoy the shows, I guess. Maybe people who hate it don't talk to me.
Larson: Mixed shows are a dime a dozen. It's just important to continue to ask, Is what we're doing relevant? Is it serving anyone? Is it fun for us? It has to be all of those things.

Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I rise today to strongly support the nomination of Bill Orrick to the Northern District of California.
Bill Orrick was raised in San Francisco, where his family has a long and distinguished pedigree in the legal community. I happen to have known the nominee's father, William Orrick, Jr., who was a highly-respected Federal judge in San Francisco. The firm Orrick, Herrington, & Sutcliffe--which his grandfather founded--is pristine in San Francisco. I strongly urge my colleagues to support Bill Orrick's nomination. He has proven throughout his career that he has the intellect, skill, and temperament to do an outstanding job on the Federal bench in San Francisco.
Mr. Orrick earned his bachelor's degree from Yale and his law degree from Boston College. He then represented low-income clients in Georgia for five years. After that, he came home to San Francisco, where he practiced commercial litigation for 25 years at Coblentz, Patch, Duffy, & Bass. He primarily practiced in the field of employment defense.
In 2009, he joined the Justice Department, where he worked in the Civil Division and oversaw the Office of Immigration Litigation. As an attorney at the Justice Department, Mr. Orrick's job has been to represent his client zealously and professionally--and he has done so.
The Office of Immigration Litigation is in the business of defending the government's position in cases in which an alien is seeking to prevent removal from this country. The office also defends the government in cases when an alien brings a challenge to the length or conditions of detention. That means that Orrick's primary task was to litigate against aliens in Federal court.
Mr. Orrick has also been called upon to represent the Department of Justice in other cases, including those challenging state immigration laws like those in Arizona and Alabama on Federal preemption grounds. In these cases and others, Mr. Orrick dutifully and faithfully executed his duty to advance the position of the United States Government.
Mr. Orrick's record speaks for itself. He is seasoned. He has over three decades of experience in legal practice, faithfully representing his private and governmental clients. He has been rated ``well qualified'' by the American Bar Association.
I will close with a few remarks on the confirmation process. Mr. Orrick's confirmation is a long time coming. He was first nominated nearly a year ago, and first approved by the Judiciary Committee on August 2, 2012 with the support of Senators Kyl and Graham.
When the 112th Congress recessed, other nominees who were reported by the Judiciary Committee before the August recess were confirmed. Not Mr. Orrick. He had to be renominated. His nomination had to be reported by the Judiciary Committee again. His nomination has only now come to the floor--nearly a year after his first nomination.
This is a real shame. The Northern District of California is in a judicial emergency, as declared by the Judiciary Conference of the United States, as are all judicial districts in California. The Northern District has 675 weighted filings per judgeship, making its caseload 30 percent above the national average. A civil case takes nearly 3 years to get to trial--up nearly 50 percent from a year ago.
When well-qualified nominees like Bill Orrick are held up, judicial emergencies like those California continues to face year after year are only exacerbated.
I am very pleased Bill Orrick will be confirmed, and I thank my colleagues on the Republican side for agreeing to schedule a vote on his nomination. I simply believe--strongly--that he could and should have been confirmed sooner by this body.
I yield the floor.
