|Military and Political Alliance
|March 1st, 1968
The Communist Nations Treaty Alliance (CNAT) is a military and economic political union that replaced the Warsaw Pact in order to be more stable and worldwide.
Alien Revolution
The Alien Revolution refers to the political changes to the Communist nations following contact with alien nations. The Soviet Union suffered a coup in 1968 that replaced the government of Brezhnev with an interm military government headed by Marshal Zhukov.
This new military government was nationalistic but also less tyrannical than previous governments. Freedoms such as free speech, free press, and some small capitalistic enterprises were now allowed, but the government retained the right to regulate rights as it saw fit.
In the midst of this government change, CNAT was founded to replace the Warsaw Pact. The pact was designed to be more firm, cooperative, and global. In all of this it succeeded, but Romania backed out, while Yugoslavia and Albania refused to join anyway.
The Prague Spring of the late 1960s did much to set CNAT's tone towards Human rights and the size and power of government in CNAT nations. Communist governments still hold power in these states, but peaceful opposition towards these governments is rising.
CNAT originally comprised of the former Warsaw Pact nations and Mongolia, excluding Romania, who decided to take its own hardline path out of opposition to reform and antagonism towards the Soviet Union.
Following the organization's desire to be more global for Communist nations worldwide, new nations were admitted. North Vietnam was the first and joined CNAT after the Vietnam War ended in a truce. Soon after, South Yemen joined as well. Invitations for North Korea to join was denied by the isolationist Korean government, Yugoslavia, Albania, and Romania still stubbornly refused, and Cuba, despite being eager to join, was denied when it was feared that doing so would incite war with the United States.
Promethean Invasion
In late 1968, an alien race called the Prometheans invaded Earth in order to subjugate and enslave the Human race. With no other option, Human nations bunkered down and prepared to fight what would be the most destructive war in Human history.
The Prometheans attacked with the advantages of surprise and advanced technology. Cities and nations fell within days while millions of humans, combatants and civilians alike, died swiftly.
Communist insurgent groups rallied together to fight the invaders. Most of the Soviet Union's efforts were concentrated in Moscow, where brutal urban warfare was taking place, but groups of Soviet soldiers in other CNAT nations fought as well.
Due to the better coordination of CNAT forces and the nondiscriminatory attacks of the Prometheans, most other Communist nations joined CNAT in order to fight back. Yugoslavia, Albania, and Romania, at first resilient in their refusal to join, now eagerly did so in order to fight for their homelands. Cuba was too far away for effective coordination, and Chinese and North Korean forces, while cooperating with Soviet forces, refused to join CNAT due to mutual animosity with the former and die-hard isolationism with the latter.
Battle of Aden
The first major victory for CNAT, and Humanity as a whole, was in South Yemen. Soviet, Yemeni, and Dravimosian forces managed to evict a small Promethean occupation force from the city of Aden, capital of South Yemen.
The victory stopped the steady decline of moral for Communist forces and Humanity as a whole. It showed Promethean forces can be beaten and that the war could be won.
Battle of Moscow
Promethean forces made Moscow one of their main targets, as it was the capital of one of the Human's two superpowers. The Soviet government was warned and was able to flee, but in the process the Soviet Air Force was almost completely destroyed and the Soviet Army took massive casualties. For the next few days CNAT forces waged a bloody urban conflict against the invaders. Entire sections of the city were destroyed in the process, but no matter what the Prometheans did, the Soviets and their alien allies desperately held on.
By the end of the week, thousands of what appeared to be meteors rained down over the city. But these were actually many Dravimosian and Azaranian drop pods, all of which brought troops, supplies, and vehicles with which to drive the Prometheans out of the city.
Within two weeks, the enemy had been completely forced out and the Soviet government returned triumphantly.
Battle of Belgrade
By the start of the next year, most nations were liberated from Promethean military occupation and only small groups of Promethean soldiers still resisted. The largest group in the second world was the one that held Belgrade, the capital of Yugoslavia.
Marshall Tito was wounded in his escape, but he had managed to rally his forces and wage a guerrilla war against the invaders. Aid could not be sent by most other Communist forces due to more important battles further east, but once Moscow was won and the other capitals were liberated, CNAT-alien forces converged on Belgrade.
Within a week, all Promethean forces had either been eradicated or had surrendered. The victory helped solidify Yugoslavia's position in CNAT and strengthened CNAT's position worldwide.
CNAT was stronger politically because of the war. Almost all Communist nations now were a part of CNAT's military command, even though almost every nation in the world was still devastated.

Food & Drink: Beer Up
At elegant parties and modern wedding celebrations, as at gastropubs and fine restaurants, microbrews carry the same prestige and cool factor as fine wine | By Chelsea Lin
July 23, 2014
At elegant parties and modern wedding celebrations, as at gastropubs and fine restaurants, microbrews carry the same prestige and cool factor as fine wine | By Chelsea Lin
Some of these light, accessible beers may be best known for their commercial compatriots—think Budweiser and Miller High Life—but the same refreshing quality that makes them great tailgating beers makes them ideal for casual summer weddings.
India pale ales are beers for beer drinkers. They are golden-hued, ultra-hoppy brews with a bold—some even call it bitter—flavor and lingering aftertaste.
Tasting flights generally move from lighter beverages to darker ones; it's a natural progression, too, for meals. The richness and sweetness of porters and stouts make them an even match for desserts.
There's a cider for every season, but the Pacific Northwest's bounty of produce yields a whole spectrum of complex brews. From light and refreshing glasses such as Pyramid's apricot ale to heartily spiced concoctions like Elysian's Great Pumpkin, vegetable- and fruit-based beers get culinary bonus points.
PAIR UP: Beer is like that convivial partier that everyone loves; as long as you follow a few cardinal rules, it'll go as well with barbecue fare as fancy four-course meals. Stoup Brewing brewer and certified cicerone—the beer world's equivalent of a sommelier, denoting extensive training and mastery—Robyn Schumacher says the trick to pairing food is matching intensity regardless of how formal or homey your menu concept is. "If the food is big and bold, make sure the beer is also," she says. "If not, one will overpower the other and frankly defeat the purpose of pairing."
BOTTOM LINE: A beer-only reception costs less than stocking a full bar, and you (or your catering manager) probably won't need to hire as many servers. Kegs are usually the best way to go. "Often our clients wind up buying a couple of them," says Jessica Paul-Jones from Skillet Street Food. You might consider starting the evening off with these bulk vessels (a regular half-barrel holds approximately 165 beers; a pony keg, half as many) and then moving to bottles or cans—perhaps specialty brews not offered in barrel form. This way, anything left over is easily stored for future soirées.
THE NEW WINE: "Beer has a laid-back reputation, but don't underestimate it," says executive chef Wesley Hood of Aqua by El Gaucho. Hood participated in a beer vs. wine dinner during Seattle Beer Week a few years back, and says beer swept the competition. "It was fun to see people swirling beer around their mouth, and really appreciating the flavors," he recalls. You can encourage the activity by setting up tasting flights or pairing locally made brews with regional cheese, or talk to your stationer or event planner about creating an artful menu that highlights your beers' tasting notes the way a wine menu might.
The Pine Box: With 33 beers on tap and a very rare built-in Randall—a fancy filter contraption that infuses beer with everything from hops to smoked wood chips and chocolate—this historic spot on Capitol Hill is your best bet for testing and tasting the beer industry's most creative waters. Says Seattle Met beverage expert Allecia Vermillion, "The Randall can make for some sensory-scrambling combinations, as with Hopworks Noggin Floggin Barleywine: so aromatic from a filter session with hops that the Washington Beer Blog likened its aroma to a fruit salad." Is it feasible to serve something so newfangled to your guests? Probably not. Is it fun to try anyway? Sure seems like it.
Brouwer's Café: This Fremont joint from the owners of the beer boutique Bottleworks is notable not just for its 64 beers on tap and more than 300 in bottles but for its emphasis on Belgian brews and the bites that best underscore them. Think pommes frites, croquettes, and charcuterie. Think, in other words, potential reception menus.
Chuck's Hop Shop: With locations in the Central District and Greenwood, these outposts of 40-plus beers on tap and around 1,000 bottles available to drink there or take home are something like mini-marts crossed with pubs. Considering hiring a food truck on the big day? The Grilled Cheese Experience, Snout & Co, Napkin Friends, Off the Rez, and more all show up at Chuck's (check the online schedule), so research opportunities abound.
Glass Houses: Pint glasses are fine, sure (and better than plastic keg cups), but pilsner and weizen glasses are nicer—and more niche. Snifters, flutes, mugs, and steins may seem overly fussy, but proper glassware not only elevates the drinking experience, it can help integrate the service and the setting, too. Think goblets at Thornewood Castle or modern stemware for Cedarbrook Lodge.
Map Quest: Beer is a good-time beverage, and including it in your menu allows for clever personalization. For instance, City Catering Company owner Lendy Hensley's suggestion: "Choose craft beers from regions that mean something to you." Ex-roommates from Cal can grab a West Coast ale from Berkeley's Bison Brewing; childhood friends from the East Coast might gravitate toward IPA from Dogfish Head in Delaware.
Cider Goes Pop: Beer's apple-y cousin makes for a bubbly, festive, and—bonus!—gluten-free addition to the bar menu. Ciders are produced with varying levels of carbonation; consider subbing lightly effervescent dry and semisweet options from Seattle Cider Company for Champagne and other grape-based salutes.
Shaken & Stirred: Here's to thinking outside the bottle: "Beer brings depth to cocktails that other ingredients can't match," says Erik Carlson, bar manager at Stoneburner and Bastille restaurants. He cites one called the radler as a fine example. Lemon, sugar, and German lager, plus additions such as ginger or bourbon, make for a winning signature selection.

Canadian Wheat Board
November 16, 2011 by staff
Canadian Wheat Board, More than 27,000 Canadians have sent automated letters to the federal government in just over a week demanding the Canadian Wheat Board monopoly be saved.
The response has energized the agency's backers in their fight with the Conservative government.
"The groundswell is definitely there," said Manitoba farmer Andrew Dennis.
The letters were generated when individuals texted FARMER to a specific number, part of the CWB's Stop the Steamroller campaign.
The letters were then sent to the individual's MP and a senator from their province, as well as Prime Minister Stephen Harper, Agriculture Minister Gerry Ritz, interim NDP leader Nycole Turmel and Liberal leader Bob Rae.
The campaign began in early November and by Tuesday afternoon, 27,600 texts had been sent.
CWB officials said at least 40,000 people have visited the website promoting the campaign. The $1.4-million campaign includes television and print ads as well.
Dennis said the support is perhaps coming late in the game, but he finds it heartening and energizing in his quest to save the single desk.
Dennis is a third-generation wheat and canola farmer with 2,500 acres in Brookdale, Man. He said in the summer he started to help raise money for the Friends of the Canadian Wheat Board, but he is not a member of any particular lobby group.

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
A year ago i lost my house. (payments to high). how can i stop the bank from taken money from my bank account? I know there is a bank account protected by lawyers. People whit a lot of money used to protect their money.
Well, you don't give a lot of information but I will try to answer your question. It depends on who the bank is that is taking the money out of your bank account. If it is the bank where you have your account and it is taking money out of your account which it claims you owe it, then the answer is, yes. It can. Why? Because when you openned your account with the bank you signed a contract stating that they can take whatever they claim you owe them from whatever funds you have deposited with them. This is how they can take penalties and fees out of your account, whether you agree or not, because you gave them permission to when you openned the account.
Now if the bank which is taking the money out of your bank account is NOT the bank which holds your account, then the only way they can do that is with a writ of garnishment from a court. You would know if you have had a writ of garnishment issued against your account because they would have had to serve you with the papers and documents. I assume this is not the case. If the bank you allegedly owe the money to is the bank that has your account, then the remedy is simple. Move your account to another bank that you do not owe money to. But make sure you do not inform the first bank which bank you are moving your account to.
Regarding the attorney's trust account. It is not used by "people with a lot of money to protect their money". The lawyer's trust account is just as susceptible to a writ of garnishment as any bank account, if the creditor knows the money is there and belongs to you, then the creditor can garnish the trust account to the extent of the money it holds belonging to you. Of course, they cannot find out that your money is in the trust account unless you tell them, because the lawyer cannot. It is privileged information.

has anyone tried to retrieve a listing from the user profiles on any workstation or server?
and maybe have an alert whenever the number of profiles is greater then ... on any pc

Are you using roaming profiles? You want to clean them up after they reach a certain amount?
Sep 17, 2009 at 8:58 UTC
indeed, especially because of the ever growing mailboxes the system drives of our workstations are getting fragmented and full
also, if I need to edit a profile I have to hunt down all copies to prevent unwanted files, folders or settings replicating back to the network copy
Sep 17, 2009 at 9:11 UTC
What kind of listing are you looking for? Just a report on the number of profiles on a system? Or are you looking to determine the profile sizes? I don't think SpiceWorks reporting could do this very well, but it should be doable with a script.
Sep 17, 2009 at 9:20 UTC
Use DELPROF from Microsoft to delete roaming profiles. it is a very easy tool to use and quite the time saver!
Here is the script I use, it deletes all roaming profiles older than 8 days silently:
for /f %a in (computers.txt) do (delprof.exe /D:8 /I /Q /C:\\%a)
Sep 18, 2009 at 3:54 UTC
I already know about delprof but I was rather hoping this could be a part of the inventory reports in SW since it is essentially WMI scriptable ;-)

With the possibility of winter-like weather in our area, TDOT and local county officials are preparing just in case.
TDOT has put brine on area interstates and state highways. Workers will remain on standby throughout the evening, in case the are needed.
In East Tennessee alone, TDOT has an almost $8-million dollar snow budget, more than 200 salt trucks, and 58,000 tons of salt ready to go.
Knox County is getting its trucks loaded with brine and its salt spreaders in order. It will have all its trucks loaded by Monday night and ready to go at a moments notice.
The county says there's not much pre-treating they can really do because of all the rain we're expecting, which would just wash the brine away.
There's still something drivers can do to be safe.
"I think that they should look out for the icing conditions on the roads and just be, slow down and stay off the roads as much as they possibly can," said Brian Hubbs, Knox County Director of Highway Maintenance.

"Nick, stop Putin!": Nikolai Burlyaev told about patriotism and creativity
3 Aug actor, Director and President of the forum "the Gold hero" Nikolay Burlyaev celebrates the 70th anniversary. On the set he first appeared at the age of 13. Then at the training Studio of VGIK, aspiring filmmaker Andrei Konchalovsky filmed a short film "the Boy and the dove". Then it was the work of Andrei Tarkovsky in "Ivanov the childhood".
The Theatre. City Council young Kolya burljaeva invited legendary Director Yuri Zavadsky. In the play "Leningrad prospect" his partner was an outstanding actor Nikolai Mordvinov. Then the current hero of the day, he studied acting in the case of the Shchukin theater school, and studied film directing at VGIK Mikhail Romm and Lev Kulidzhanov.
We met in St. Andrew's monastery, where for many years the Directorate of the "Golden knight". Calling in the midst of the summer heat, observer of the "MK" and was hoping to catch Nicholas burljaeva in Moscow. All vacation, work in the garden plots, but our celebrant has decided quite different questions. In his office he appeared with the icon, written on the old wood, and with the words: "Only that the Bulgarians gave". Before you start the conversation, prepared a letter to the MOE.
photo: Mikhail Kovalev
"I created a professional chorus of EMERCOM of Russia"
— Why do you write in the MOE?
— MOE and "Golden Vityaz" — for 25 years. We walked in parallel, one course. They save the lives of people, and "Golden knight" through art trying to save the human soul. Culture is in an emergency condition. The formula of Dostoevsky's "Beauty will save the world" is under threat. It's time to save the very beauty. So we combined our efforts. In addition to programs of the "Golden knight" I now have a huge army of rescuers — about 300 thousand people and millions of families. I've always tried to strengthen the soul of the army and people. This is our vanguard, and it should be brought up to the correct films. For the year of joint work we managed to open 20 cinema clubs "Golden knight" in the structures of the Ministry of emergency situations of the Far East to the West and South of our borders. I give them the films from the funds of the forum, carry out exhibitions, created a professional choir of EMERCOM of Russia, invited to work the best Regent George Safonov. No Studio, so I will make an effort to organize it. Already received approval for the creation of two paintings. It will be a documentary about the legendary personality of MOE, 96-year-old Dmitry Ivanovich Mikhailik, and game disaster movie. Critical to this genre, but I hope that we will do a decent Russian film. I will be his General producer, but if I Director — view.
— What is all this for the Ministry that deals with emergencies?
With amazing gratitude and hope there reacted to the creation of the cultural Institute of EMERCOM of Russia. There is a period of formation. We get a television equipment to broadcast a live signal on any channel in the world, I want people to know about the film forum "Golden knight", literature, music and theatre forums, the forum of fine arts, which we provide. Our Central TV channels are not very willing to cover our activities.
— We have known for over 20 years, and all this time you're talking about saving the culture. I have the feeling that nothing in 25 years has not changed.
Five years ago I began to lose my inherent sense of optimism, watching what dressing culture we come, following the Western path of permissiveness. I began to lose faith that my efforts have some value. But in December 2014, the President adopted the decree on the new state cultural policy, largely based on the practice of the "Golden knight". I was one of the initiators of the decree and regain a sense of optimism. Never taken such a decision, based on ethical norms and moral categories of culture of the peoples of the Russian Federation. The second necessary step is to bring the culture from the sphere of the market.
But that's impossible.
— Now this may seem wild, but after four years the government will gain a lot. You need to increase the budget for culture at least to the size of the budget of the Ministry of defense, as culture is the defense of the soul. If we lose the soul, then the country can be taken with bare hands. Impossible to measure all the ruble and the success of the first weekend. Andrei Tarkovsky was not successful in the first weekend. And his "Andrei Rublev" just for seven years has been shelved. It's been 50 years since the creation of the film, and he blocked off all cash records. I saw a queue of spectators in Paris, Los Angeles, Caracas. Should culture be measured by eternity, not the weekend.
In the film "Andrei Rublev".Photo from the personal archive.
But the latest policy of the Ministry of culture and cinema Fund is not built on eternal values.
— It was built incorrectly and it is necessary to explain to the officials who do not know what they are doing, lowering the spiritual level of the people. But if they know they are criminals. Then you have to change such leaders.
— You seem to hover in the clouds. Today it is impossible what you say.
— Yes, and I started to think: maybe I do. During 15 years at the world Russian people's Council, member of the Presidium of which are, like a woodpecker hammering one and the same: there is no strategy of the state cultural policy. What got me so stuck? Maybe I'm wrong. But he was right. Witness the decree of the President.
"I am a sinful man, but greed and avarice in me no
— Once the "Golden knight" has collected a large number of guests, and how you now live? For many years the leadership forum become a businessman?
— It would seem that the year of jubilee, then celebrate it in a big way, call halfway around the world. But all was not as I planned. Money again was not. The Ministry of culture gave a pittance, so we not only have stretched his legs. If not for the support of the MOE, then nothing would have happened. I'm a sinful man, but greed and avarice in me. The Lord of the gyrus removed from my mind. A businessman I never was and never will be. I have no desire to make money on what they were doing. For theater forum we rented for 10 days the room. I have a ticket is not sold, distributed to all schools, children's homes and boarding schools, dedicated forum children — the future of Russia.
— As without the business acumen to hold the festival?
For 25 years I became a professional festival of business, held about 80 large-scale forums. We have the halls crowded. In the final of the people and with us sing, "Stand up for faith, Russian land!".
— Once you said, "What's wrong with being a patriot and Slav?". Ready today to say it?
— I would have corrected: "We are Russians!". So said Suvorov. What a joy to be a patriot and Slav, to assist in the enforcement of ideas of Pushkin and Tyutchev, think about the unity of the Russian world, which is now falling apart. "Golden knight" makes more than politicians. While they betray Serbia, we are building an army of 55 people — Russian, Belarusians, Ukrainians, go hold a film festival during the siege.
Do you ever get ashamed of what you Russian people?
— What are you? Russian people absolutely nothing to repent for. It is necessary to do to others, able to betray those who raised them, took care of, loved. How can you repent for the great and much-suffering Russia? Because she keeps the world! I drove for the life of the 60 countries and have lost the desire to go anywhere. We are better than that. I recently visited Scotland, England, France, and Italy, where before watching the process of dying. And now everything is worse: goods, and food, and terrible spaghetti. People in rags walking. The devil, dressed all in tattered jeans. It is true that we girls wear them, thinking it was beautiful. I went to Scotland in the best restaurant by the sea and saw the spotted cats sofas, tasted monstrous food. And what their metro shabby! The airports of Orly and Heathrow seemed once excellent. And he returned to "Sheremetyevo", I thought, Yes, we have six stars, and there are three barely pulls. The crisis we have made such progress! We can really make Russia great, although problems have many. I see opportunists, traitors, bribe-takers in different ministries and government. Gogol used to say, now is fighting the main battle for the human soul. Was never chenopodiacea, because I'm a Cossack Zaporozhian Sich to the roots. We do not recognize power, but the will of the Lord God over us. But now, I support the President. He makes the right moves.
— In the leadership of the "Golden knight" Vice-President, was for many years the Ukrainian actress Raisa nedashkivska. That changed after recent events?
— Raisa nedashkivska was my most faithful sister, starting with the first "Golden Vityaz". We passed the dangerous roads. In the days of the embargo of Yugoslavia it was the Serbs transported across Ukraine to us in Russia, took care of them as his own mother. When struck square, she called me: "nick, stop Putin. Shoot our boys." I said, "Raya, we are all with you took place in Russia in 1993, when a third force shot at the White house to the army and the people. This is an old script of the devil — bleed blood. He needs a civil war. Raya, you're brainwashed". She said, "nick, you're a zombie". Since we have no contacts, although I Raisa congratulated the day of birth, and Ada Rogovtseva, too, because I sincerely love them. I hope that sensible grain in their heart will sprout.
"I have five children and four grandchildren, but to sell themselves I'm not"
— Someone from anniversaries running, and someone is directing them a Grand for six months describing the program of festivities.
My birthday falls on the month when you will not be able to collect friends. Only relatives will be invited for a Cup of tea. We have rampant there. We in the family non-drinker. Yes, and I have no desire to pompously celebrate the 70th anniversary. But in the fall I have to spend two or three evenings in the House of cinema, a retrospective show or to perform with an orchestra, reading of Derzhavin's "God". I don't have time to throw dust in the eyes. There is a forum for a forum, are preparing a Grand Slavic forum of arts in Stavropol. Will take the best films and actors of Russia, Fedoseyev's orchestra, the ensemble of Moses, the Serbian teams. My task as a successor to the eminent teachers is to show people the highest. If painting, it is not the notorious "Black square" and work Andriyaka, belyukin, Shilov, those who know how to write with a brush, not smears worse than the children. In his youth, my friend Andrei Tarkovsky and Savva Yamshchikov was telling me about Modigliani and Utrillo. I thought, maybe it's true, it's brilliant. But it is difficult to convince me that the authors of the so-called modern alternative painting, postmodernists draw better than children. Yes, they just can't draw. They are too lazy. As Shilov, they will not draw because it is work.
— What's wrong to drink a glass of wine at a birthday party?
— I at a certain point in life to give up alcohol, seeing as leaving one by one my friends. Became Vladimir Vysotsky, Oleg dal, hanged himself Gene Shpalikov. I live in Bohemia almost since childhood. How he survived I do not know.
— Do not exaggerate. Not all artists are necessarily drinking?
— The name of those who fell in childhood in the movie and stayed there? Lena Proklova. Who else?
Dmitri Iosifov played Buratino successfully removes soap operas and documentaries. And that, by the way, you wrote about Sartre after the film "Ivan's childhood", where you were a boy?
— In the Western press wrote and we quoted Jean-Paul Sartre wrote about Tarkovsky's film and something about me. But I don't remember what. And the words of Konstantin Simonov remembered. He compared my image with the image of the boy Bartholomew. But it's not my merit, and Tarkovsky. I was a model. As for Dmitry of Joseph, whom you mentioned, thank God that he refrained. And all because the Belarusian. Our profession was created for the Bohemian life — later, the end of the performances, then drinking to relax, the house of creativity. I took it all. For ten years with their older friends, who loved the noisy feast, with Sawa by yamshikova we every evening visited restaurants of the WTO, the cinema House, the House of journalists, Central house of writers. Until it's all eaten, will not rest. This was making me weary. Savva, I have read the poems when he and his friends raised a glass for a glass: "let the pastime with the elite in smoky pubs/ ad nauseam night vigil, the feast in the creative houses./ Companies of idle mirth,/ the Bed of someone else, the pain of a hangover, but loved picnics classics of Soviet sons".
In the film "Ivanovo the childhood".
But during feasts, people were talking.
— When people drink, it climbs imp, egocentric: "I am…". He can not hear anyone, only to show yourself, a loved one. Alcohol is a poison, a drug that is recognized by the International health organization. If so, you have to sell it in pharmacies in small doses. But we are talking years of soldering Russia. Why does the government not fight with it? What losses! Accidents, disasters, injuries, families are crumbling, children are morons grow. Here is the answer about the birthday and the Cup of tea. I tried to fight this evil and "the Golden Vityaz", do not allow anyone to drink.
— Remember your rounds in the train. People immediately hid the bottle, and when you leave, the fun began.
— Of course, under the table. I say drug, all attached to him.
— Still a lot of time you consume a festival, but how can it be main with such acting talent?
— In the word "eats" is already incorporated some relevance to what I do. What we do not consume, and justifies the life of each of us. I and my employees are not useless. We are fighting for the souls of men.
— In the name of what you were going into the profession? Not just the same as? And doing something related, even on the spiritual cost is not equal.
— Create one forum gives no less than the creation of the film. I am a 23 year refuse as an actor from roles after Yeshua Ha-Nozri in the Master and Margarita". I know that I can play the way others can't. Know the secret of dramatic art, and many actors do not know her. They know how to pronounce the text, charismatic, but for the sake of what it is doing? My question is, why was it necessary to appear in the series, one actor answered honestly: "I had to build a fence. I have three children". And I have five of them and four grandchildren, but to sell themselves, I will not. Seeing as after "Ivanov of the childhood" and "Andrei Rublev" I started a lot of filming, Tarkovsky said, "Kol, why are you doing this? Stop! Even starve you — don't play that, then what would be ashamed." Now I understand that he was right. And then like a lot to do. Yes, it is a difficult path. After the "Military field novel" I was offered as many roles as it had never been offered. Maybe 80. The temptation was great. I read another script and thought: if you do, you will be able to begin building villas, the car purchase should pay the debt. But I refused, because I realized the truth of Tarkovsky. But I still appear on the screen. Definitely.
— Did your children follow in your footsteps. Son Ivan became a composer, the daughter of an actress. You they are not stopped?
— There is genetics worked. The kids know my attitude to the acting profession. So Ivan became a composer, although in his childhood he was an actor. As the channel heads, he is one of the best composers of our movie. The daughter Mary became an actress. I didn't even know that she went to GITIS. Secretly from me and had been invited only to a degree. Younger children understand that this is not the profession, which now needs to be addressed. She is in great danger. There is such a trade — and soul, and body.
— I remember riding with you in Kursk on the bus and you started into the microphone to read poetry. Their last, and before that…
— Pasternak?
Yes. Simply, without pathos, just as if you were talking to us. The verses continue to write?
So it is necessary to read, to dig to the bottom, not to revel in their own voice and acting talent, as do 95 percent of the actors. They go by the text, not understanding the mysteries of the craft. The poems I write. The time has passed. Once wanted to prove that much can a writer dreamed of becoming. Looking at Vladimir Vysotsky, Gena Shpalikov, I thought: "well, what am I? It is necessary to try". Now I am a member of the Union of writers, himself proved that it can satisfy their ambitions. And I will continue to work as directed and only on the fact that not below the level at which worked before. Just for the sake of money won't do anything.
Is it hard to share?
— God bless all to live simply, happily, easily. I first book is called the line of his poems — "The joy of suffering." This is the main law of life. Not to lose the joy in your heart, to carry by through all life's calamities. I have this feeling of joy. Try a stricter attitude to yourself, animate pride, that's all.Related posts:

In the wake of the alleged sex abuse scandal at Penn State, nearly everyone around the country, from media members, alumni and former players have spoken out about the tragic events that have taken a seemingly squeaky clean college program and imploded it in less than a week.
The details of the case have been reported time and again, but it's clear these alleged incidents, which have already cost the university's president and football coach/icon Joe Paterno their jobs, has affected everyone in one way or the other.
While there are hundreds of former players out there, only a handful have been able to make it to the pros. Currently, there are about a dozen former Penn State players on an NFL roster, including Seattle Seahawks fullback Michael Robinson.
Robinson became one of the all-time greats in Penn State football history, helping to lead the 2005 team out of a recent string of losing seasons and to a Big Ten Championship and victory in the FedEx Orange Bowl.
That year, Robinson was the senior starting quarterback and did damage with both his arm and legs. The year after, he was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers, where he saw some action before winding up in Seattle, where he is currently serving as a fullback.
At Wednesday's practice, Robinson spoke to media members, including the Seattle Times, and had to hold back tears when talking about Paterno's then plans to retire. Paterno has since been forced out by the university's Board of Trustees, but Robinson offered a few words for the victims in this scandal.
The Seahawks host the Ravens this Sunday.

This guy Tay Zonday and his "Chocolate Rain" lyrics are tripping me and a lot of other people out.
"I am a singer-songwriter-vocalist. I do everything. No style is off-limits. No two videos are alike. From Bach to Tupac, Opera to Screamo, Expect the Unexpected!"
That's what Tay Zonday YouTube site says. (I hope that means he's getting revenue sharing.)
"Yes, I have a deep voice. No, I don't fake it," Tay Zonday continues.
I wish he would give more info about his nationality -- something I always try to decipher. Is he black? Is he Indian? I want to know.
Is that what "Chocolate Rain" means? With the property value line and all...
"Yes, I look young. I am 25 years old. I have never studied piano or voice formally. Several of my videos have free MP3s and/or sheet music that you can download in the video details!"
Right now, Tay Zonday's personal website (or blog?) redirects back to YouTube, but I'm sure with all the attention he's getting -- somebody's trying to get him on MTV -- it'll be smoking hot soon.
Then we'll all know more.
My kids cracked up at the "Chocolate Rain" video and lyric delivery, but if you listen closely, the "Chocolate Rain" lyrics are really sad.
Reminds me of the recent 20/20 special about hell (watch the video) that made ruminate about the hell on earth some people experience now, and the one guy who went to hell and came back to life, sobbing to be saved.
But back to Zonday. Here are all of Tay Zonday's videos.
Believe you me, this is only the beginning for this man...

The Saxon kings in Dorset – Dorset's royal Wessex dynasty
David Pilling explains Dorset's links with the royal Wessex dynasty
Published in October '12
From the time of the earliest Saxon kingdoms in England, the history of Dorset has been inextricably linked to the fortunes of the English monarchy. Dorset was a vital centre of religious and secular power, and a place where kings were crowned and buried. Dorset became a powerful Saxon kingdom in its own right, and one that endured and flourished until the Norman Conquest.
Dorset had a long history of human settlement long before the coming of the Saxons. Proof of this can be seen in the remains of Neolithic and Bronze Age burial mounds, and later Iron Age settlements such as Maiden Castle and Hod Hill. Impressive as the fortifications of these windswept hilltop fortresses might seem, they weren't enough to deter the Roman Legions that arrived in Dorset in the 1st century AD and set about conquering the local tribes. The Roman occupation lasted until the early 5th century, and when the legions were recalled to Rome they left Dorset at the mercy of the Germanic pirates raiding their coasts. From the mid-5th century onwards, the Saxons came not just to raid and plunder, but to settle.
Dorset was not defenceless, however, and the remains can still be seen of three north-facing defensive earthworks dating from the end of the Roman period. Perhaps the most well-known is Bokerley Dyke, a defensive earthwork over three miles long on Cranborne Chase in north-east Dorset, near the villages of Woodyates and Pentridge. The origins of the dyke are obscure, and it may have originated as a boundary marker in the Bronze Age. The dyke still defines the border of Dorset and Hampshire, and protected the Romano-British settlement at Woodyates against invaders from Hampshire. The other two dykes are Combs Ditch, to the south-west of Blandford Forum, and Battery Banks, west of Wareham along a ridge between the rivers Frome and Piddle.
These defences seem to have been effective, for the Saxons did not make serious inroads into Dorset until the mid-7th century, over a hundred and fifty years since the first boatloads of Saxon settlers arrived in England. Much of Dorset was part of the Romano-British kingdom of Dumnonia that also included Cornwall and Somerset. In 652 the Britons, 'furious in the recollection of their ancient liberty' according to the chronicler William of Malmesbury, were defeated in battle at Bradford by the Avon by the Saxon king Cenwalh. The defeat weakened the Britons in Dorset, and at last their stout resistance started to crack.
In 658 Cenwalh scored another victory at the Battle of Peonna, allowing the Saxons to advance into the eastern part of Dumnonia, all the way to the River Parrett that flows through Dorset and Somerset. By the end of the seventh century the Saxon tribes in Dorset – known as the 'Dormsaete' – had come under the control of the West Saxons, and Dorset was being used as a base for West Saxon attacks on the remaining British kingdoms in the south-west. Dorset thus became a subkingdom of Wessex, but despite its subordinate status was to play a major role in the fortunes of the West Saxons monarchy, and Saxon England as a whole.
Coenred, a prince or 'aetheling' of the royal Wessex dynasty, was sub-king in Dorset from c. 670-694, and in one of the earliest recorded West Saxon charters he gave land in Dorset for the foundation of a monastery at Fontmell Magna. One of his daughters, Cuthburh, followed her father's lead and founded a nunnery at Wimborne that later became Wimborne Minster. Coenred was the father of Ine, the greatest of the early kings of Wessex, and remembered for his code of laws and customs. The enduring link between Dorset, 'west of Selwood', and the royal house of Wessex was to prove crucial in the reign of Coenred's famous descendent, Alfred the Great.
The kingdom is first referred to as 'Dorset' in a charter from 841, over a hundred years after the death of Ine. By this time Aethelwulf was on the throne of Wessex, and a new enemy had appeared in the shape of the Vikings. Hordes of these fierce Danish warriors, in their swift and mobile longboats, threatened the southern coasts throughout the mid-9th century. In 860 the men of Dorset joined with the men of Berkshire to face a Danish war-band that had sacked Winchester. Slowed down by their plunder, the Danish were slaughtered by the combined Saxon host, but that was not the end of the threat.
By the 870s, Alfred was King, and Wessex was the only Saxon kingdom yet to be conquered by the Danes. Dorset would soon feel their wrath. Under their leader, Guthrum, part of the Danish host or 'Great Army' overran the royal burh of Wareham, forcing Alfred to lay siege to their camp. Having extracted an oath from Guthrum to cease hostilities, including an exchange of hostages, he allowed the Danes to march away. Such clemency proved unwise as the Danes promptly murdered their hostages and ravaged the kingdom until a provident storm scattered their fleet, forcing them to sue for peace. Alfred's trusting nature proved his undoing, for in 878, in the depths of winter, Guthrum broke another treaty and his army overran Wessex, forcing the fugitive Saxon king into hiding.
When Alfred re-emerged in the spring, he rallied his militia at 'Egbert's Stone' near Bourton in North Dorset, a standing stone reputedly placed by his grandfather, King Egbert, to mark the boundaries of Dorset, Somerset and Wiltshire. After defeating the Danes, Alfred realized that Wessex needed ships to defend her coasts against the dreaded longboats, and embarked on a ship-building programme. According to legend Alfred's new warships trapped a Danish fleet that had sailed upriver to Wareham. The Danes were defeated near Arne and driven out to sea, where bad weather wrecked over a hundred of their ships near Studland, just off the Isle of Purbeck.
After Alfred's death, the history of the Wessex monarchy in Dorset takes a darker turn. His immediate successors succeeded in holding Wessex against the Danes, but their glory ended with the brutal assassination of the boy-king Edward. Edward's murder in 978 was the final act in a power struggle between the king and his stepmother, Queen Aelfthrith, who wished her own son Ethelred to succeed to the throne. To that end, she invited Edward to the royal palace at Corfe. Weary from hunting all day, the young king returned alone to the palace as dusk fell, where he was greeted at the gates by his smiling stepmother. At a signal from Aelfthrith, her servants dragged him from his horse and knifed him to death. She ordered his body to be buried in Wareham Priory. A heavenly light was later said to shine over his tomb, and many miracles to have occurred there. The people looked on the murdered youth as a saint and remembered him as Edward the Martyr.
Aelfthrith's son Ethelred, nicknamed 'the Unready', was duly proclaimed king, but his reign was a disaster. Incapable of defending his kingdom against the Danes, he finally resorted to ordering all Danish men living in England to be murdered on St Brice's Day (13 November). Grim proof of this early example of genocide was discovered in 2009 by workmen digging a new road on Ridgeway Hill in Dorset. They uncovered a mass grave containing 54 skeletons, all decapitated and buried alongside their heads. Archeologists dated the remains to Ethelred's reign, and Dr Britt Baillie of Cambridge University suggested that they were part of a cadre of young, elite Viking warriors known as 'Jomsvikings'. A chronicle commissioned by Ethelred's second wife, Queen Emma, mentions the presence of the Jomsvikings in England at this time, and Dr Baillie contends that they were most likely ambushed and methodically butchered by local Anglo-Saxon villagers.
The massacre did Ethelred little good, for it merely enraged the Danes and led to them conquering the whole of his kingdom and driving him into exile. He returned, to reign for two more years before his death in 1016, and was buried at Wimborne. His hard-nosed son, Edmund Ironside, put up a more spirited fight, but died in mysterious circumstances in 1018. Edmund's rival, the Danish prince Cnut, thus became the first Danish King of England, and ruled in peace for almost twenty years. Having ravaged Dorset as a Viking in his youth, he died peacefully at Shaftesbury Abbey in 1036.
Saxon (and Danish) England came to an abrupt end at Hastings in 1066, where the last Saxon king, Harold Godwinsson, died fighting under the banner of a golden lion, an icon long associated with Dorset as part of the wider kingdom of Wessex: the gold and the lion motif has since been incorporated into the Dorset County Council's flag. With the death of Harold, England was condemned to the 'cold heart and bloody hand' of William the Conqueror, and the imposition of a foreign regime that would change the country forever. Dorset was to play an equally important role in the careers of the Norman kings and beyond, but that's another story.

For The Curious Listener
Invite strangers to listen along with your music or podcast on public transport with a playful brightly coloured, ear shaped additional headphone jack.
For The Curious Listener aims to break the environmental disconnectedness of headphones. Is simply the possibility of entering the aural-scape of another person enough to shift the inherent disconnection MP3 players exude? It is intended to invite strangers to enter into your private sound world: it is both an experience for you and the person listening to it. By using the form of an ear the user can be playful, leaving it in nooks and crevices that show no sign that they are the source of the audio. It is a playful exploration of the altered perception MP3 players afford. Furthermore it affords or fulfils a fantasy element whereby no longer do you look at a person wearing headphones and wonder, 'What are they listening to?' you can plug in and listen in.
Device Shifting – shift the behaviour of how a human relates to a device by either occupying it, lowering its level of required or possible engagement or transforming its input or output with a mass produceable accessory.
This research takes a critical design approach as defined by Anthony Dunne and Fiona Raby{Anthony Dunne, 2005, Hertzian Tales – Electronic Products, Aesthetic Experience, and Critical Design} to explore our evolving interrelationships and interdependencies with devices. Critical design uses speculative design proposals to challenge narrow assumptions, preconceptions and givens about the role products play in everyday life. Accepting that our interrelationships and interdependencies will only intensify as we become more connected to each other and to cyberspace through devices, we will require a more intimate and humanly experience of connection.

Author's Note: The origins of this fic lie in my sudden and spontaneous realization that due to the holiday break, there will be no Christmas episode of Once Upon a Time (which, considering memories of that one Xena episode and multiple House Christmas episodes brought tears to my eyes, is just unacceptable). I have thus decided to write my own. The most important parts of it, anyway. Warning: You might die of overdose of sweetness upon reading this fic, in which case I cannot be held responsible.
English is not my native language and that makes me very sad. Damm.
To See Her Smile
First there was a deep sigh, followed by only a slightly amused chuckle. Before the story is told, both should be explained. You see, a sigh or a chuckle if performed within a time period longer than two seconds wouldn't be half as interesting as when the two are tied somewhat. What connected this particular sigh to that particular chuckle was absurdity. The sigh came to be when she realized she was once again standing at her doorstep with her tail between her legs and would love to say she couldn't quite comprehend what preposterous set of circumstances had brought her here, but that was where the chuckle occurred; rather than being oblivious, she had quite a good idea. In fact, the box in her hands spoke for her clearly.
She shivered when the number on the door started to move and run away from her and blamed it on the cold, even though she had been running around Storybrooke in her jacket during countless merciless blizzards since the beginning of December. Regina stood speechless in the doorway, apparently shocked by the younger woman's boldness – or foolishness – depending entirely on the point of view.
"Who is it?" a boy's voice called out from inside the house, cheerful and full of anticipation.
Regina hesitated for a while and Emma would have sworn the way she was looking at her almost looked kind of, just vaguely, a little as if she were asking for permission, but Emma knew better than to expect Madam Mayor to ever ask her for anything, so she remained silent.
"Just one of those wandering businessmen, sweetie. I'll be right back," Regina called back, never tearing her eyes from the blonde.
"At this hour?" Emma could almost see his head tilt in confusion.
"Stay at the table, Henry."
Her voice was calm but firm and Emma reprimanded herself for not having just rung and left the box at the threshold. "Look," she started quietly so that the boy wouldn't hear, "I don't want to disrupt your holiday peace or anything. I know this isn't where my place is, I just…" she trailed off and her gaze dropped to her waist. Regina's followed and the brunette finally noticed the small present wrapped in red with a golden ribbon on top.
"Could you sneak this under the tree somehow? Please?"
When Regina half-heartedly took the present from her trembling hands, a tiny part of her thought she was going to throw it on the ground and stomp on it repeatedly. Normally, Emma would have forced her to do whatever she wanted her to do – for Henry – but it was Christmas and the last thing she wanted was to start a fight on Christmas. And outside the ring, Emma was a lousy fighter.
"Oh, one more thing," Emma remembered as she watched Regina step back. She reached into her pocket and pulled out another smaller box. "This one's for you," she whispered and it took all of her willpower not to look away – for too long, at least.
The brunette frowned. "Me?"
"You've been raising our—" Emma quickly stopped herself before saying something that would have her in handcuffs again, "Henry for ten years. It's the least I can do," she muttered those last words almost inaudibly and pretended her cheeks weren't burning to maintain at least some level of self-worth. "Just take the damn thing and I'll be on my way."
A still suspicious look grazing her face, Regina took the second box from her hands, their fingers brushing lightly. She gave her a nod with a barely distinguishable hint of a smile and Emma turned on her heel to leave.
"Come in, Miss Swan."
Emma stopped dead in her tracks. Did she really just hear that? Or was it something about Sichuan? Okay, that made no sense. She spun around to see Regina smiling – actually smiling, as if her usual holier-than-thou smile wasn't frightening enough – and wouldn't dare say the smile was meant for her instead of some wheel in her head plotting. "Uhh… You sure?" she asked, taking in the lights along the edges of the roof and windows flickering red blue and green and yellow and the smell of roasted turkey coming from the dining room and the fittingly oversized five-pointed star on top of the Christmas tree whose branches she could see standing still in the dark through one of the windows. Right now, Madam Mayor had all the things she had never seen up close and was on the inside quite frankly dying with curiosity, hoping it wouldn't kill the cat.
"In the interest of honoring centuries old but nonetheless still equally moronic rules of social etiquette, I am," Regina answered and walked back into the house leaving the door open for Emma, obviously deciding the discussion was over – if there ever was one.
The blonde kept standing in awkward silence on the road that was the one place in the entire neighborhood snow hadn't covered up and hidden behind a mass of white. Regina had it shoveled.
She hoped this one time couldn't hurt.
"Thanks," she mumbled to herself and followed suit.
On December 24, 2011, Emma Swan had her first Christmas dinner inside a warm house with her son and his – her – their family. She helped hide the two new additions to the modest pile of presents without Henry noticing and was later pleasantly surprised when she found out the Mayor, or as she was now known, Regina, was willing to share the home she had built for the night, too. And Emma didn't even have to sleep on the couch.
And in the morning, she got to watch Henry practically fly down the stairway and tear the wrapping off the barking dog plushie she had gotten for him, hoping desperately he wouldn't find the gift too childish for his liking. To her surprise, he didn't.
A while later she got to watch Regina open her present. She had bought a miniature porcelain elephant with its trunk pointing up in a gesture symbolizing good luck, hoping the brunette wouldn't consider it too pathetic, even for Emma. To her surprise, she didn't.
Most surprising of all was that sometime during the night, Santa and his elves returned to place another present underneath the Christmas tree labeled 'Swan', but Regina wouldn't let her open it until after Emma has left. Not wanting to cause trouble, Emma obeyed.
She couldn't help but giggle as she opened the envelope on her way back to Mary's, trying to make out what it said inside through the haze of her breath vaporizing in the freezing air.
Thank you. ~R

10 Ways to be Rich Without Being Wealthy (Rich): Money is a tool, not an end goal. You only need as much as of it as will be necessary to have the quality of life that you want. That has less to do with a certain salary or portfolio level than we think. Here are 10 forms of "wealth" that can lead to a rich life and require very little emphasis on having or earning a lot of money.
- You Don't Have to Make a Lot of Money to Get Out of Debt (Debt): One of the biggest myths out there is that you need to make a lot of money in order to get out of debt. But, you absolutely do not have to make a lot of money to get out of debt.
The Value of Work (Work): You won't get the same props (or paycheck) for vacuuming an apartment building as you would for performing open-heart surgery. But, that doesn't mean a janitorial job is demeaning. It just means we don't have the sense to appreciate it.
- Taking Valuations Into Consideration When Setting Your Stock Allocation Reduces Risk by 80 Percent (Valuations): There's lots of controversy today over whether Buy-and-Hold investing strategies really work for the long term or not. The one alternative with 30 years of academic research backing it up is Valuation-Informed Indexing. This article examines the data to show that stock investing risk virtually disappears for those investors who are willing to take valuations into consideration when setting their stock allocation.

Boat captains must master nautical lexicon before sailing the seas to ensure that they can distinguish port, which means left, from starboard, which means launch the vessel into deep space. Count down to a sea launch with this Groupon.
Choose from Four Options
- $35 for one ticket to a Skyline Sail ($70 value)
- $55 for one ticket to a Fireworks Sail ($110 value)
- $69 for two Groupons, each good for one ticket to a Skyline Sail ($140 value)
- $109 for two Groupons, each good for one ticket to a Fireworks Sail ($220 value)
- Chicago's only wooden tall ship
- Winner of Illinois Meetings + Events Readers' Choice Best Of Awards in 2009, 2010, and 2013
On two-hour Skyline Sails, passengers cruise along the shores of Lake Michigan out of Burnham Harbor on a 77-foot wooden tall ship. Passengers clink drinks bought aboard the ship, munch snacks from home, and take in views of the skyline from the bow of the only wooden tall ship in Chicago. The Fireworks Sail casts off from Burnham Harbor on Wednesdays at 8 p.m. and Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. throughout the summer. The Skyline Sail casts off from the harbor Tuesdays through Sunday throughout the summer. Check Tall Ship Red Witch's website for Skyline Sail times.
Tall Ship Red Witch
What looks like a crimson-hulled pirate ship glides into view. The wind picks up, surging into the schooner's 77-foot gaff-rigged sails and speeding the vessel along at 8 knots. Those on shore can just make out the boat's name, Red Witch, and what appear to be passengers raising a drink to the views from ship.
Designed by renowned naval architect John G. Alden and named after the book Wake of the Red Witch—the same story that inspired the film starring John Wayne and Gail Russell—the Coast Guard–licensed ship accommodates up to 49 passengers within its mahogany-over-oak frame. Having sailed waters off Maui and San Diego, the boat is now under the stewardship of Captain Andrew Sadock and his crew who will be glad to autograph cannonballs for each passenger.

Other name: デッドマン・ワンダーランド, 亡灵幻境, 亡灵环境, 死囚乐园, 死囚樂園
Status: Completed
Viewed: 330
Summary: A massive earthquake ravaged Japan's mainland and destroyed most of Tokyo, sinking three-quarters of it into the ocean. Ten years later, the story shifts to Igarashi Ganta, a seemingly ordinary student attending Nagano Prefecture's middle school. An escapee, a survivor of the great earthquake, Ganta has no memories of the tragedy and has lived a normal life. This all changes when a strange person covered in blood and crimson armour floats through his classroom windows. Grinning madly, the Red Man massacres Ganta's entire class but instead of killing him, embeds a red crystal shard in Ganta's chest. Within days of the massacre, Ganta is declared the sole suspect and, following a quick trial, is sentenced to life imprisonment in Deadman Wonderland, a massive theme park like prison.

Penguins of Madagascar Regurgitating Rico Launcher and Kung Fu Panda Kung Fu Po Wrestler Review
Have you shopped for your children's Christmas presents yet? I got a couple of really cute toys to tell you about, it's the Penguins of Madagascar Regurgitating Rico Launcher and the Kung Fu Panda Kung Fu Po Wrestler from Mattel! I gave both of them to my granddaughter and she had so much fun with them! Her favorite was the Kung Fu Po Wrestler.
About the Kung Fu Panda Kung Fu Po WrestlerTwist, tumble & tackle! Plush Po is ready to wrestle! He'll respond with fun phrases and sounds when you wrestle him & show off your best kung fu moves! He's so cute and says some cute sayings!
Requires 3 AA batteries, not included. I would highly recommend Kung Fu Po Wrestler, especially for little boys, but girls like it too.
Ages: 3-8 years
About the Penguins of Madagascar Regurgitating Rico LauncherLoad! Launch! Attack! Load the popcorn balls into Rico's mouth and pull his legs back to send the popcorn soaring! Phrases & regurgitating sound effects add to the fun! This is a cute toy, but the sounds it makes sounds like somebody is going to throw up. My grandkids got a kick out of it!
Requires 2 AA batteries, included.
As you can see these toys are quite adorable and the kids would love them! Children always seem to love toys that have sound effects. The Kung Fu Wrestler is great for kids to get rough with and still have fun. Do you ever notice how much kids love shooting fun toys at each other? The Regurgitating Rico Launcher would be really fun for the kids, but you would probably need two of them, you know how kids get impatient to wait their turn, especially with fun toys!
A product sample was received for review. I was not paid in any form of cash for this posting. The opinions expressed are my own and were NOT influenced in any way.

Rahul attacked Narendra Modi over demonetisation and questioned him over the Indian economy.
Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday attacked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and accused him of weakening institutions like the Reserve Bank on India (RBI).
Addressing Congress' 'Jan Vedna' meeting against note ban, Rahul said "achhe din" (good days) will come when Congress comes back to power at the Centre in 2019. "BJP, RSS and Narendra Modi have weakened institutions like RBI. People of country are wondering when are 'Acche din going to come'. I'll tell them it will come when Congress comes to power again," said Rahul Gandhi addressing the Congress National Convention in the national capital.
"We respected RBI's independence. It is the financial bedrock of India and now it is is being ridiculed. People in RSS and BJP are under the impression that nobody else's opinion matters but theirs," he said here. He continued his attack on the PM and said that demonetisation was a 'personal decision' made by Modi. "Today I read in newspaper that PM said he will transform India. But PM needs to ask himself why suddenly auto sales have fallen."
Quoting figures, Rahul said automobiles sale has dropped by 60% in the country. "We have gone back 16 years, the backbone of India's economy has been broken" he added. Rahul said that it is for the first time that India's Prime Minister is being "ridiculed world over" for taking such an "ill-conceived" decision. "For the fist time India's Prime Minister is being ridiculed the world over..never before every single economist of any repute said that Prime Minister has taken an ill conceived decision," Rahul said.

Tips and Tricks for ACT English
Whom's troubling you? I mean, who's troubling you? Uh…let's make that WHAT'S troubling you? Is it the ACT English test? If so, you're not alone. A lot of students struggle with this section of the ACT precisely because they rely on what "sounds right." This isn't necessarily a terrible strategy—after all, it's the only way (after studying) that you'll get diction and idioms questions correct—but there's a problem inherent in it. The problem? Most people don't speak perfect English in everyday life (and if they did, they would probably sound kind of annoying). But for just one day—test day—let's pretend like we do so we can master the ACT English test with some precise tips.
Identify the Problem
When you look at an ACT English question, the underlined portion might sound just fine. That's a start, but go deeper. Look at the underlined portion critically. What part of speech is underlined—a noun? Verb? Punctuation? The truth is, the ACT English test doesn't examine a huge number (not "amount"—one favorite ACT English test confusion) of topics. By reviewing the topics the test examines beforehand and examining the categories of underlined words, you're not just relying on your ear to take the test—you're relying on your knowledge.
Look for Clues
Early and frequent practice is the best way to identify when the ACT is giving you clues. However, even if you're cramming a couple hours before the test (look, we've all been there), you can still catch on to a few of the ways the test will let you know what's up. First of all, scan your answer choices. Are they all words that sound the same but are spelled differently? Or are they entirely different words, but with similar meanings? Are they verbs conjugated in different tenses? Or different versions of an idiom using different prepositions? This, in combination with your correct ID of the question type, will help you figure out what's being tested—which will help you figure out what the answer is.
Note: if you don't know some of the above terms, like "preposition" or "conjugate," don't be hard on yourself—some schools have stopped teaching straight-up grammar. However, it'll help you a lot in your studying to familiarize yourself with the basics, so you know exactly which areas you're strongest in, which need improvement—and, most importantly, how to improve those weak areas.
The Fancy Answer Is Rarely Right
When you get right down to it, sometimes, we all have to make educated guesses. Note: educated! The ACT loves to present language that sounds more formal or complex—using words like "one" or "whom" unnecessarily—because it can make students think twice about the correct answer when they're presented with the "fancy answer." At the end of the day, the ACT prioritizes clean and clear English. Make sure your choice keeps the meaning of the original—but if it presents the same idea in fewer words, or in active voice, it's more likely to be correct.

This is my second time staying at the Hotel Sophia. The hotel is within easy walking distance to the Melbourne CBD and very close to the King Street stop for the free circle-line tram. The standard room is of average size, the bed comfortable and the provision of a mini-fridge and kettle is great. The hotel is reasonably priced. The inclusion of breakfast is a bonus, with options including 4 cereals, numerous types of bread for toasting, eggs and bacon, and fruit/yoghurt if you get up early enough. Whilst the walls are thin and most rooms get street noise, for the price you really can't go wrong.
- Reservation Options:
- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, Priceline, Expedia, Ctrip TA, Hotels.com, TripOnline SA, Travelocity, Hotwire, Cancelon and HotelQuickly so you can book your Hotel Sophia reservations with confidence. We help millions of travelers each month to find the perfect hotel for both vacation and business trips, always with the best discounts and special offers.
