When it comes to cooking, the needs of the Great Aussie Bloke are simple. He wants food that tastes great, makes him look good and doesn't take all day and numerous trips to the shops to prepare.
With over 120 tried-and-true recipes, this is a book for every man at every stage of this life: the 20-year-old who's just left home; the family man whose wife is busy running a small nation; the divorcee whose spare cash is going in maintenance; or the sports fiend wanting to feed his mates while watching a Significant Sporting Events on the telling.
Kim takes us on a whirlwind tour around the kitchen. We start with the basics - survival food for home-leavers, comfort food for hangovers, quick and tasty numbers for school nights - before moving on to the sort of sophisticated offerings (think souffles and beef fillet) that will impress Aunty Mavis as much as they will the gorgeous girl from Accounts who amazingly agreed to a date. Other useful tips include how to use a knife without ending up in Emergency, the rules of matching food with wines (there are none) and reasons to avoid tablecloths.
Beautifully photographed and written with wit, warmth and the odd tasteless quip, this book will help you, or the man in your life, experience the fun and adventure of cooking and the pleasure of serving good food for others to enjoy.

H700 Shenzhen Tower
Shenzhen, China
- Design
- Height: Approximately 700m
- Construction
- To be determined
bKL Architecture has unveiled their concept design proposal for a new tower and plaza located in Shenzhen, China. Anchoring the gateway between the CBD and the surrounding natural context, the tower, rising to approximately 700m, becomes a technical expression of the developing region, while the plaza provides a cultural focal point for the eastern expansion of the city.
The plaza includes retail, civic, and institutional structures, providing the perfect opportunity to become the cultural epicenter within the new development.
The tower's elegant form is composed of three transforming design components: the shape, the structure, and the sky gardens. All three design components ground the tower in a continuous interaction between people and nature. The tower is bold, technical, and strong, while at the same time refined, natural, and elegant.

Anchoring the northwest corner of Lake Street and Michigan Avenue, this 41-story, 402-unit residential tower sits prominently beside the historic Carbide and Carbon Building. With an east-west orientation and narrow face addressing Michigan Avenue, the new tower complements its Art Deco predecessor. Its siting encourages a dialogue between the buildings while permitting enough space for each to establish its distinct presence.
The Michigan Ave. tower features two levels of retail and garage parking. Amenities include a fitness room, lounge, game room and party room. Outdoor space can accommodate large or small gatherings, and the building provides a rooftop pool and a dog run. Partially inset residential balconies on the north and south facades complement a clean, modern, highly polished face on Michigan Avenue.
The site is easily accessible to the shopping of north Michigan Avenue and the many attractions of Millennium and Grant Parks.
This project is LEED Gold certified.

Animation Cultural City is a mixed-use campus for the creative community in Beijing, China, combining office, retail and parking with extensively landscaped spaces. Its buildings and landscape were designed to inspire both workers and visitors and to fuel creative energy.
Great consideration was given to the use of sunlight in this design. The building orientation, scale and façade detailing are used to optimize the amount of direct sunlight while allowing diffused light into office and retail spaces. Plazas, sunken gardens and other exterior areas provide shaded resting spots as well as sun-filled larger public spaces.
These public spaces and plazas provide ample outdoor areas for public and private gatherings in daytime and night, all seasons of the year. They create an enjoyable, lively environment with modern, sophisticated architectural appeal and aesthetic interest.

Jinhua, China
- Design
- Ongoing
- Project Area
- 1,800,000 square feet (168,000 square meters)
- Materials
- Glazed curtain wall, LoE vision glass
These two glass towers amplify the intersection of Jinhua's primary north-south axis and the Wu River, a key site in the city. Their sculptural nature creates a striking landmark in this area, a region known for the beauty of its mountains, rivers, caves and natural stone formations.
Inspired by these forms, a podium of stone and brushed metal panels supports two towers sheathed in a crystalline glass skin. The transparency and translucency of the glass respond to programmatic and environmental conditions; its reflectiveness emphasizes the angles of the towers.
The varied angularity of the towers and podium buildings also reflect differing interior functions. Retail, offices, hotels, and residences are spread over the 1.8 million square foot (168,000 square meter) mixed-use structure.

In Technology
Will voltage vary with frequency vary?
One factor to consider in the generation of power is that in a generator there is an electromagnetic field moving past wires in which a voltage is induced. If the speed is… reduced (speed is propotional to frequency) the voltage will be too, all else being equal. However there may be compensation for this by a rise in exitation current to increase the magnetic field seen by the wires. Other equipment outside the generator can also control the voltage received. (MORE)

Alan Fine A1 - Leng Xiaozhuang A1 - Reinhard Radermacher A1 - Imam Haider A1 - Steven M. Nadel A1 - David Fridley A1 - Ray Phillips A1 - Jeanne Briskin KW - cfc KW - design KW - efficient refrigerator KW - testing AB -
This report describes the Sino-US project to promote the transformation of the Chinesedomestic refrigerator industry to the production of chlorofluorocarbon (CFC)-free, super-efficientmodels. Technologies examined in this effort include non-CFC refrigerants and foam-blowingagents, alternate refrigeration cycles, more efficient compressors, optimization of condenser andevaporator designs, increased insulation thickness, and improvements to door gaskets andcontrols.
Work completed through December 1995 at the China Household Electric ApplianceResearch Institute (CHEARI), the Haier Group, and the University of Maryland (U. Of Md.)includes the building and testing of Chinese refrigerators that contain a wide variety of energyefficiency improvements and no CFCs. Chinese consumer opinion research on the marketing ofozone-friendly, energy-efficient refrigerators has also been undertaken. Field testing wasundertaken for one year in three Chinese cities to test the performance of units under actualoperating conditions.
The key findings of these activities are:
Next steps for work to be completed under the project include modification of the prototype inresponse to consumer opinion research and field test results, and certification in accordance withinternationally accepted standards. This work will be followed by application of energy efficientCFC-free design techniques to other Haier products, such as Haier's new BCD-268 model.
For other refrigerator manufacturers, the Sino-US Refrigerator Project demonstrates thatit is technologically feasible to redesign household refrigerators commonly in use in China andother countries so as to simultaneously replace CFCs and significantly improve the refrigerator'senergy efficiency. This substantial increase in energy efficiency can be obtained by adoptingtechnically proven measures used individually by manufacturers in the past, but not heretoforecombined in a single nonozone-depleting energy-efficient product design. The prototypedeveloped through this project demonstrates that combination of these measures can result insignificant energy savings. These savings provide substantial economic and environmentalbenefits, as well as cost savings to consumers and a potential competitive benefit to manufacturersthat adopt energy-efficient CFC-free technology.PB - U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ER -

Caitlin Graham
I go to Girard High School and i'm a Freshman. My favorite color is purple. I have one sibling and his name is Jarred. I like to draw when i'm bored or just have time to draw. I love watching soccer and baseball. I've played soccer since I was 5 or 6, but i'm not playing this year. Soccer is my favorite sport to play and watch.
Three things about me.
I love to play soccer. All summer I played soccer pretty much every day. I'm not playing on a team this year but I still love playing with friends. It's my favorite sport. I also love watching it, I watched almost every game of the FIFA World Cup. And I still watch the Premier League games.
I like to draw. Whenever i'm bored or am not really doing anything I will draw. I draw a bunch of things, either in my agenda because i'm bored or on a piece of paper. I'm not the best at drawing but it's still fun to do sometimes!
I don't play any instruments but I love listening to music. I could listen to music all the time. I have so many favorite songs. I listen to music while I do homework, do any kind of work, play soccer, or just when ever I can.
My Goals
1. I want to lose weight and get fit. So i'm going to start to exercise almost every day and eat healthier food, so I can accomplish it.
2. I want to be on the 10th grade soccer team. That means I need to lose weight. But i'm also going to practice a lot, train, and work hard to get better at soccer.
3. I want to get almost all A's this year. I don't want to give up, not study, or not try hard. I might get a few B's at my subjects i'm not great at but I want to do better then I did in 8th grade.
I would love to go to...
I think it would be amazing to visit Europe. I want to see a live soccer game there since they're big into soccer. I would want to travel all of Europe. There is so much old historical stuff that would be cool to see. I've also had relatives go there that say amazing there.

It's not all the time that you find yourself in need of a replacement Heater Hose for your car or truck. While it may not be difficult to locate replacement parts for Dodge vehicles, these days only the highest quality are required to repair your car or truck. Your Dodge dealership isn't the only place to locate the best replacement parts for your WD21. The vehicle in your driveway symbolizes the best in class compared to all the other vehicles these days.
The technology to heat the passenger compartment of an automobile came long before one was invented. The engine of your Dodge WD21 constantly pumps and turns a mixture of water and ethylene glycol through the engine block in order to absorb the heat it generates, and sends this liquid to the heater core (a small radiator) through a heater supply hose when you want to warm your vehicle's cabin. Dodge WD21 heater hoses help cool the engine by supplying an alternative path for hot coolant to travel. The return heater hose will usually drop the coolant back into the water pump or a by-pass housing in your engine so the radiator can return it to optimum temperature.
Given all the hassles associated with fixing broken parts on your car or truck, let www.carpartsdiscount.com be the most authoritative website you go to make purchasing it easy. At Car Parts Discount, we have real customer support agents here with enough expertise to help you purchase the correct Dodge WD21 part for your needs. Don't let a Heater Hose repair bring about the demise of your car, truck, or SUV, and don't risk lowering its resale value by installing anything but the highest quality repair parts. When it comes to Dodge WD21 Heater Hose parts, you can find them for 1942 models by clicking the appropriate year below.

Should you do it? And why?
I got an interesting question on Twitter today from someone who learned how to use Twitter from my Twitter Essential Training course on Lynda.com. He asked:
Do you feel that there is a benefit to having a Twitter feed on a blog?
I have my Twitter feed on my blog. It's at the bottom of every page — a place that isn't "in your face" but is persistent. The solution I use — the WordPress plugin HL Twitter — shows all of my Tweets, including @replies, and can show the tweets for as many accounts as I like. It also offers the option to archive tweets on your blog and tweet new blog posts. I don't use either of those features, but they're there. and, of course, there are other solutions that'll put tweets on your blog or website.
My response was as lengthy as Twitter's 140 characters allow:
Yes, but it depend on what you tweet about and what your blog is about. Should be similar or compatible. Nice question, BTW!
It is a good question. One that's worth discussing here.
Why Your Might Put a Twitter Feed on Your Blog
Think about your blog for a moment. What is it like?
Is it a personal blog where you share your thoughts and opinions and personal news? My blog, An Eclectic Mind, is like that.
Or is it a business blog that you created primarily to provide additional information for existing and potential customers or clients? This blog-based site, Maria's Guides, and the site I maintain for my helicopter charter business, Flying M Air, are like that.
Now think about the things you tweet about. Are those things complementary or compatible with your blog?
In my personal blog, I write about everything. On my personal Twitter account, I tweet about everything.
In my personal blog, I'm not afraid to voice my strong opinions on politics and religion. In Twitter, I often share links that support my opinions on politics and religion.
In my personal blog, I occasionally use foul language. On my personal Twitter account, I occasionally use foul language.
Obviously, my personal blog and my Twitter stream are a good match.
My Flying M Air site's "blog" entries normally consist of company news and special offers. Even though Flying M Air is actually me — I am the sole owner/operator of the business — my personal tweets about everything under the sun would simply not be appropriate to display on Flying M Air's site. Not only that, but my strong views about politics and religion and my occasional off-color language could seriously turn off some potential clients who have conflicting strong views and don't like to read language like that.
As a result, I wouldn't dream of listing my tweets on Flying M Air's site.
As you can see, this isn't the kind of question you can answer with a simple yes or no. You need to look at it on a case-by-case basis.
The Benefit
Of course, the original question focused on the benefit of including tweets on a blog. Once you decide whether it's appropriate, you might still want to determine whether there's a real benefit to doing this.
I think this depends a lot on whether your Twitter stream adds anything to your blog.
I'll be honest with you — I don't know if it adds anything to my blog. No one has ever commented on it. I don't know if it's gotten more more Twitter followers — which might be a good motive for including it. It certainly helps make me look more active in social networking circles. But is that a good thing? Who knows?
Your blog design has a lot to do with it, too. Do you have room to include a Twitter stream? Will the format you can display it in match the rest of your site. (Aesthetics is important!)
And why do you think it might benefit you? Do your perceived benefits outweigh your perceived drawbacks?
I'm not sure how helpful this is. I guess my point is, you need to think about it and, if you decide to go forward, try to determine how it helps or hurts you.
Remember, it's always easy to remove if things don't work out.
Let me teach you more about Twitter!

Deadline reports that Benedict Cumberbatch will voice the fearsome dragon Smaug in the upcoming The Hobbit films. Not only that, but he will also voice another character, who was only mentioned in the actual book. Don't look further if you want to avoid spoilers!
According to the article, Cumberbatch will also be the voice of the mysterious Necromancer of Dol Guldur, whom Lord of the Rings fans know to actually be the Dark Lord Sauron. It's been mentioned a while ago that the movies will show us some of the events involving Gandalf that happened during The Hobbit but which were only mentioned in the books. Maybe there will be some surprises even for longtime fans?
This won't be the first meeting of Cumberbatch and Bilbo Baggins actor Martin Freeman - they are also the stars of BBC's TV show Sherlock, featuring them as Sherlock Holmes and John Watson, respectively, in a modern setting. Personally, I can't wait for the new series of Sherlock almost as much as for The Hobbit!
Among other newly revealed Hobbit actors is also Luke Evans, who will portray Bard the Bowman.

Muito bom, quarto amplo, muito limpo, cozinha completa, todas as comodidades, muito bem localizado. Nos adoramos, saimos de Las Vegas, ja passamos em San Diego e Los Angeles e nao encontramos nenhum hotel como este com o mesmo preco.
Hospedei-me com minha esposa e duas filhas adolecentes. Recebemos serviços superiores ao que pagamos. Foi uma das melhores surpresas da toda viagem. Confortável, espaços amplos, limpos, um apart-hotel totalmente equipado, cozinha completa e lavanderia, 2 suites, tudo novo e bem organizado, dormitórios com camas grandes e extremamente confortáveis, Tvs LCD nos quartos, e na sala. Tarifa muito baixa. Nada a reclamar, só a agradecer.
Tudo! Foi ótimo. Não poderia pedir por algo mais relaxante e me senti em casa.. Encontrei o meu novo lugar em Las Vegas. Não consigo pensar em nada
Tudo que mostra no site, é verídico. O quarto é espaçoso, o chuveiro poderia ser mais forte, a cozinha é boa, o spa é bem quente e relaxante. O chuveiro poderia ser mais forte, poderia ter mais horários de transporte para a Strip

Great location for exploring Vegas. Quiet facilities. Room felt luxurious. Staff very polite and helpful. All round excellent place to stay when visiting Vegas.
The unit was nice. It had in unit laundry. Ridiculously oversized bathtub. It's definitely not a resort. It's a condo complex that looks to date from the mid 1980s. The units are one bedroom apartments. It looks much nicer in photos. When you check in, a 'concierge' gives you a hard sell on buying a timeshare. The check out time is a cruel 10 am. I stayed there because it had good reviews. It was ok, but more expensive than much nicer places. Keep that in mind.
Size of suite was livable with kitchen, dining and living areas and master bedroom with spa. Bedroom closet ridiculously small; room-safe out of practical reach. Can't turn lights or fan on/off from inside bedroom,. only from living room. Insufficient dresser drawers for two people let alone three. Shower door gap leaks water onto bathroom floor; door scrapes on floor. Kitchen floor out of level so refrigerator door slams against wall. Ironing board wouldn't stand; clothes washer very noisy. Coffee table so heavy took two to move so sofa bed could be used. TV in living room on different cable system than bedroom, couldn't watch same program from both rooms. No computer/work desk or convenient device charging outlets; internet pages blocked.
The location to down town Las Vegas is great. Good room for a large family of 8 for this price range. Very clean & modern. Can not check in until 4:00 pm and must check out by 10:00 am?
rooms are great pool is pretty run down
I didnt!! Dirty, didn't come and clean the room when they said. Noisy neighbors and nobody came and quieted them. Would never stay here agai!! Front desk staff was nice other than that addressed above.
Quality comfortable and clean
The apartment feel resort was exactly what I was looking for for a relaxing, family, Las Vegas trip. The villas were well kept, the staff was nice & helpful, the pool area was great and the BBQ grills were a plus
Loved the room, had everything we needed. We were far enough from Las Vegas blvd. to not have to worry about the crowds, but close enough to get there in 10 min. The pool was perfect.
hotel staff and the entire complex was great I thought my room had a washer/dryer and planned for that and it did not
The room was large and clean. The hourly free shuttle bus to "the strip" was handy. Our overall experience was not good. This is a timeshare facility, not a hotel. At checkin I had to stand and listen to a 20 minute timeshare presentation before they would hand over the room key (while my family was waiting in the car in 35 degree heat). They seemed to be trying to sell me a unit, even though I live on the other side of the world. Our room faced a 6 lane highway with terrible traffic noise. The maintenance men woke us at 7am each morning, even on the weekend. I think there are much better places than this in Las Vegas.
Stayed there because our last stay in Bakersfield CA was a good stay and nice laundry facilities that worked. But when going to use this one unfortunately it was not working and the front desk help couldn't help. This really was our last second decession making on staying here and was left down.
Every thing was wonderful
Yes we'd stay again. We stayed 4 nights and we found everyone to be very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were clean, the beds were very comfortable and the breakfast was really good. But best of all the staff was genuinely friendly and each person spoke to us. Just a hop and skip away from the Red Rock Casino. The carpet needed to be cleaned.
Nothing! Staff!
Quiet, clean and comfortable
We liked the free breakfast and close proximity to the Summerlin area. There was a horrendous sewer smell from the bathroom that would come and go. We kept the bathroom door shut while in the room. Glad we did not spend much time in the room. Breakfast was okay, juice machine was very watered down, Room carpet was a bit dirty. Weight machine in fitness area was missing some parts.
I've generally been impressed with the Hampton Inn in any location. They seem to be nicer than comparably priced hotels. They are usually more updates as well. This was no exception. We planned on a small refrigerator in our room, because every other Hampton Inn Does. We were disappointed that our room didn't have one. We had to throw away some things that we had planned to have the beefcake day.

Project DescriptionA modest building program challenged the client's desire for an entry building to the city. By pulling facades away from the body of the building, selecting of a bold exterior rain-screen, and referencing a large Ned Kahn designed kinetic sculpture on an adjacent building, this project stands out in its urban setting, while leveraging its small scale to connect at the pedestrian level. The creative use of the building's periphery challenges the typical bank typology in its use of materials, site relationship, and day-lighting.
Typology and Material
The client desired a "clean, urban building" but was adamant that it be welcomed by its older, conservative clientele. By using a modern building form, clad with wood veneered rain-screens, this building bridged the client's desire with the warm presence preferred by the clientele. The wood also plays on associations with banking, especially bank furniture, and was selected for its literal reference to the client's extensive use of cherry paneling and furniture at all of its branches.
Site Interlock
Stone slabs reach out and "lock" the building into the landscape design. They provide seating along the public sidewalk allowing the public to inhabit the periphery of the building. This detail supports the larger mission of inviting the public and creating usable spaces for people downtown. These stone slabs are salvaged from San Francisco's Union Square adding regional value. Out of necessity the small parking lot is enclosed. Wood and aluminum fencing and orchard trees mediate the need for parking and the desire to have an appropriate response to the urban condition.
The building edge is softened by the play of light and shadow created by overhead aluminum trellises. Rather than controlling the corners of the site, the mass of the building is subtly enforced by the profile of the trellises. Though the building retreats from the corners the suggestion of the full mass is articulated by detached walls, a pattern that is repeated to create open volumes on the exterior of the building. Daylight permeates these volumes and welcomes a visitor even before they reach the front door. The light filled space continues as they move through an interior designed to accentuate art glass clerestory windows, which feature leaves collected at the nearby Luther Burbank Gardens. The combination of material, public engagement, and daylight combine to create an open retail banking experience.

Happiness with Little..is it possible?
By Vraja Bihari Dasa
'Simple living high thinking'…..come on, give me a break"! For a hard core Mumbaite, raised on the modern adage, 'I get what I want', and 'just do it', this traditional Indian saying seems too old fashioned and impractical. However a journey through one Indian village was an eye opener for our group and compelled us to question our media influenced, beliefs.
Remuna is 15 kms on the eastern side of a small town, Balasore, in Orissa. We were a group of 170 young boys on a 'yatra' to the holy place of Jagganath Puri and Remuna. As the sun was completing its westward journey, we were on a hour long harinaam procession (a procession of congregational chanting of holy names of Krishna) through the interiors of the village. For most of us Mumbaities, it was shocking to see clean sand roads, lined on both sides with well maintained simple mud houses, and the fragrance of incense and cowdung permeating the atmosphere. We could never experience this, driving through the traffic in Mumbai or being stuffed in a local train with over 500 passengers in one small compartment. Each house had all its members come out excitedly and happily greet us, exuding natural warmth and spontaneous affection. Almost all of them clapped and nodded their heads in appreciation as our group passed through dancing and chanting the holy names of Krishna. While cows and little calves moved about happily in an open space, elders offered respectful 'namaskar', women blew conch shells to invoke all auspiciousness, and little children happily joined in, thus declaring our presence there to be a festive event for the community. Some of us couldn't help comparing this response with the fast paced city life where our harinaams usually attract cold stares. Sky rise buildings and apartments have 'beware of dogs' or 'trespassers will be prosecuted' sign hanging, and uniformed security men with their buzzer alarm and other high tech gadgets get alert, ensuring we don't 'intrude' on anyone's privacy.
Mr Mohanty, a school teacher had known that a group of devotees would be passing through his school. He was honored to have so many devotees near his school. Joyfully he greeted each one of us with a garland and arranged a refreshing lemon drink as we continue our harinaam. He also paid obeisances to all vaishnasvas and expressed profuse gratitude for having 'blessed' his village. A short break over, we carried on and soon reached our dinner destination. This was a modest thatched house bricked by cowdung. A clean, natural ambience of a beautiful 300 year old temple (part of the house), made the devotees feel welcome. Our host, Kamal lochan Das earns little from his traditional farming, and for a big joint family, he barely makes ends meet. The head of the family personally served all of us and since it was dark now, he stood with a lantern to help us settle down for prasadam. For generations this simple family, unknown to the world, has been serving devotees and piligrims. For the entire prasadam feast they cooked, they refused to take a donation to reimburse the costs. All of them happily joined us in katha and kirtans, and many from the village also congregated. Later as we left the house and thanked the family, elderly Mr. Das, the head of the family, was in tears and made a heartfelt appeal to us to visit his house again.
This is the hallmark of Vedic culture and many historians have revealed the glory of ancient India, when this lifestyle was a common place. Megasthenes, Fa Hein, Heun Tsang and many other travelers have written detailed accounts of a flourishing God centered life in India. Individual families opened their houses to one and all and temples celebrated festivals daily and thousands would be fed sumptuously. Shri Chaitanya Charitamrita also describes in great detail the installation of Gopal deity in Vrindavan around five hundred years ago. All the nearby villages and provinces, even in the fearful reign of the Mughals came together, and under the spiritual leadership of Srila Madhavendra Puri, rejoiced giving pleasure to Krishna. Grand festivals and opulence prevailed although interestingly, individual families possessed little. Even less than two hundred years ago, Lord McCauley, in his speech dated Feb 2, 1835, revealed to the British Parliament, the glory of Vedic India. The House of Commons Library has documented his famous words, "I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such caliber, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage…". Since the focus of activities then was to serve and love God, Krishna, people were happy. Evenings would be spent congregating in local temples, and kirtans, katha, and devotional dramas kept people entertained and spiritually surcharged. Ironically today, despite the best time saving devices, people are getting busier, and regret having no free time to relax. Modern entertainment is simply bombardment of variegated visual images on the television screen that has desensitized us and reduced us to lead a life akin to a programmed robot.
Since the formula for happiness then was simple, to lead a Krishna conscious lifestyle, we can individually adopt the same today. As the media goads us on a mad spree to possess more, Kamal locan Das and Mohanty are shining examples of a dying tradition that is most effective to guarantee a happy life. In a fast paced modern life, for someone to throw open his doors to serve and feed such a large number of strangers is rare. In a couple hours we were gone, and we might never meet this family again. However for Das family, we were an integral part of their life filled with love and service.
As we reluctantly trudged along the swampy fields to catch our buses to the railway station, we knew we were leaving Remuna with a heavy heart. As we felt humbled and inspired by this trip, we also felt at home hearing loud film music blasting off at the neighborhood, and a group of teenagers dancing wildly to passionate Bollywood numbers. We were sorry that the next generation is catching up with us and embarking on a tragic life of 'simply living and hardly thinking'.

Is it just me or does anyone else look at there Mosin Nagant amd feel a little eire? Dont get me wrong I love the gun, but sometimes when im shooting or working on it I cant help think what its previous owners have seen. Probably some kid my age scared outta his mind about whats happening. That gun has been on the ends of life and death. How about you guys? Anyone else think about that when they see their Mosin?
Did you ever think you are on the wrong forum? If you feel guilt about owning a firearm you need to rethink your hobby. Oliver Winchesters daughter had those feelings. She spent his fortune building a complicated home to escape those very ghost.:(
I have a few firearms with military pasts. A lot of them are surplus, so they never saw combat, but some old military firearms, like Arisakas, Kar98s, Lugers, etc., came from dead enemy soldiers, or off I battlefields. I have held, and even almost bought, firearms that I knew came from dead men. It is an eerie feeling, but also a feeling of history.
Word is not every Mosin saw the battlefield but 99% of them were in fact issued to someone, somewhere, sometime...It's fun to think about...:cool:
Whoa! You had me scared for a second! I had to check my own pulse!
My Mosin killed a **** ton of Germans... at least I hope it did.
If only they could talk what stories they could tell.
I tried to buy a Ruger Blackhawk .44 mag for really cheap, $200 asking price. Only had one shot fired through it, other than factory testing. That one shot was for a young man to kill himself.
Alas, someone beat me to it. If I'd only had the money in my pocket instead of having to go to that ATM...

Adorable vintage carnival souvenir chalkware dog, measuring 7 inches tall. He does show some signs of age - minor scratches and chips, but the paint is bright and vivid (see photos). What's very cool about vintage souvenir chalkware is that they were cast from a mold, then individually hand painted, so no two are exactly alike! I believe this is Betty Boop's dog, Bonzo.

Hi All,
I have a web page that is created using ASP.NET and backend database is SQL 2008. This page basically allows user to book resources (laptop, projector, etc). Also, I have a trigger created in SQL that sends out email to the administrators that there is a booking so take appropriate action. This is all good and now the thing that want to do is a check/valildation.
1-) When a user books a laptop or projector - web page should check if there is no conflilcting Time and Date for a specific Equipment in a particular Room.
2-) It should check that we have equipment available - like an invetory.
I was thinking to put a validation in the web page but thought it has to query the database.
So, how can I go achieving this. What would you guys do?
Cheers in advance for the help.

There is going to have to be a little interaction with your app. So depending on how you want the interaction to go I would propose one of the following solutions:
1) Run a query against the item and/ or date & time to see if the request to reserve the item conflicts with an existing reservation and if it does return a flag telling you to post a mesage in the app that the item is already reserved or it will process the request and the flag will tell you it was reserved (Test SQL follows).
2) Have your app query available dates and times for objects and only list those available dates and times for the item and have people choose only the available times.
SQL for Scenario 1 (please remember to check all SQL anyone posts because they do not know your environment and could post SQL that may negatively impact any of your systems):
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Reserve](
[rowidnum] [int] IDENTITY(1,1) NOT NULL,
[itemname] [varchar](100) NULL,
[Reserved_Start_datetime] [datetime] NULL,
[reserved_End_datetime] [datetime] NULL
insert into reserve (itemname, Reserved_Start_datetime, reserved_End_datetime)
select 'Projector',null,null
union all
select 'white board',null, null
union all
select 'tablet','11/29/2010 12:00', '11/29/2010 1:00'
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_CheckMakeReservation (@Item Varchar(100), @ReservationStartTime DATETIME, @ReservationEndTime DATETIME)
DECLARE @Reserved int
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM Reserve
WHERE itemname = @Item
AND reserved_Start_datetime >= @ReservationStartTIme
AND reserved_End_datetime <= @ReservationEndTime
) > 0
SET @Reserved = 1 --In your application, post a message indicating the item is already reserved during that peiod of time.
RETURN @Reserved
UPDATE Reserve
SET reserved_Start_datetime = @ReservationStartTIme,
reserved_End_datetime = @ReservationEndTime
FROM Reserve
WHERE itemname = @Item
AND reserved_Start_datetime IS NULL
AND reserved_End_datetime IS NULL
SET @Reserved = 0 --In your application, post a message that reservation has been made.
RETURN @Reserved
SELECT * FROM Reserve
DECLARE @ReturnValue INT
EXEC @ReturnValue = usp_CheckMakeReservation 'Projector', '11/29/2010 12:00', '11/29/2010 1:00'
SELECT @ReturnValue
SELECT * FROM Reserve
DECLARE @ReturnValue INT
EXEC @ReturnValue = usp_CheckMakeReservation 'Projector', '11/29/2010 12:00', '11/29/2010 1:00'
SELECT @ReturnValue

Calgary residents have a myriad of options to choose from when it comes to buying auto insurance policies. Auto insurance is of course a complicated issue and needs broad and deep knowledge of the industry to be able to choose the type of insurance policy auto that will address their needs. Often people are confused on the amount you need to spend on car insurance. It is so strange that the majority of buyers of car insurance do not reflect on why they should buy insurance coverage and mechanically continue to think how you can minimize the investment needed to take motor insurance products. First of all, we know that the Government has ordered car for vehicle owners insurance policy not is them loaded with unnecessary spending. Auto insurance is a product of vital importance, the value of which is carried out only when there is an emergency situation and the product of car insurance you have purchased has been saved from a severe financial loss when you have to compensate to the third person or yourself or your vehicle during an accident. Here are some important things you need to know about cheap Auto insurance Calgary.
What decides the price of a policy
There are a large number of Calgary car insurance providers. They offer customers a wide range of options to choose from. Although the term motor insurance package refers to a single product, there are ways that can be customized to meet specific needs, situation and needs of the owners of vehicles. To know what options are there, what you're tops are provided and tops so they are important to you, you need to make an exhaustive study of the products available and make the right choice and take the necessary steps to customize the policy so that you can find cheap Calgary auto insurance. In addition, there is something called the deductible means the amount you are willing to spend on your pocket for a claim. The higher deductible opts, retail is the price of the policy. In this regard, a renowned auto insurance agent can help make the right decision. Here are ways to restrict expenditure which you will do in an insurance policy.
Tips for finding the cheapest auto insurance policy
First, work on each of the aspects of the policy thoroughly to decide what covers you want to and what covers do not want or that are not appropriate for your situation. In fact, many vehicle owners are spending unnecessarily on the covers that are never going to need because enough have not been investigated and have not read properly through policy options. Never neglect the vital segments of the policy. This is because after all, when you buy a vehicle insurance coverage, you must stay in the peace of mind and the purpose of buying the plan must be complied with. If the plan you have purchased is in appropriate and inappropriate, they are more likely to suffer the consequences in case of emergency. The work on deductibles and prices must work to their advantage.

Best carbs for weight loss?

I found that I tend to gain weight on chicken and turkey but not fish or red meats. If I eat any conventional meat on a regular basis I would gain weight, must be natural raised.
So on an average day ~1 pound of pork or chicken with skin.
1-2 large grapefruits
~1 pound of leafy vegetables of my choice, cooked into a soup
~1-1.5 pound of a starchy vegetable like sweet potatoes or winter squash, baked.F 28/5'4/100 lbs

The best carbohydrate for weight loss would be vegetables.
I'm female, 5'6, 136lbs, just trying to lean out and drop those last 5 or so lbs......
I lift a couple days a week, get som HIIT or sprints in twice a wee, maybe a longer walk or jog.
Is fruit too sugary? Should I be looking only toward starches? Or does it matter as long as total calories are low? I know this is a pretty nit-picky question, but I'm finding these last vanity lb's pretty tough to drop.
Any other advice?
Eat fruit.
Originally posted by Derpamix View Post�Fructose inhibits the stimulation of insulin by glucose, so this means that eating sucrose (a disaccharide, consisting of glucose and fructose), in place of starch, will reduce the tendency to store fat.

Fructose does not require insulin.
Thank you Damiana!
I second the lower fat, limit oil to 1 tbl a day & 1 avocado a day. See how fruit vs starches make you feel. Starches make me sleepy and achy, fruit makes me happy but also makes me hungry so i Use it as a snack on the go food.
I've tried low carb higher fats and my body held on to the fat (no fruit or starches at all).
Most of my life I'm low fat unlimited carbs & stay lean. Yet if I eat the wrong animal foods my figure suffers :-(
Maybe get a food allergy test, if you omit the foods your body sees as toxic you will definetly look and feel better.
One more thing about low carb lifestyle - yesterday (Monday) on oneradionetwork.com podcast about tooth decay they talked about seeing people who live low carb end up shutting down there metabolism long term- not good!
Sugar is the best carb source for weight loss. Eat fruit. Especially given the exercise you are doing. Veggies are not really an appropriate suggestion within this context.
Eat fruit.
I've never heard this before! But if it's true, awesome, b/c I love fruit...
Hi, I'm new to all this and was checking on quinoa. I saw lots of reference to white rice being preferable. Why white and not brown? Thanks.
Keep in mind that there are lots of contradictory claims made about weight loss that are either untestable or untested in any remotely controlled manner, even a carefully defined n=1 on the part of those who support these techniques.
Eat high carb! Eat low carb! Eat only starchy carbs! Eat all your carbs as fruit! Eliminate all PUFAs from your diet and those moobs will just disappear!
What matters long-term is what you eat long-term. What you do in the short term may be good for reaching a short-term goal, but obviously that is not what you really want.
Or you could start testing these things properly, so you can find out what affects you and what you can live with.
Plan to weigh yourself every day for the duration of this experiment and record the information. It is best to have your body fat measured at the beginning and periodically. Take some measurements, if only waist and chest measurements. Take a photo of your body for the "before-and-after" shot.
First you need to know what your diet is right now. I suggest you spend a week carefully measuring and weighing everything you eat, entering it into a diet site online and letting the site calculate your calories and macros, so you know where you stand.
You may find you are consuming a lot more calories than you thought you were. You may be surprised by your actual macros, or maybe not.
The next step would be to create a baseline against you will compare changes. Based on how many calories you have been consuming and whether your weight is stable, increasing, or decreasing, you may need to adjust your calorie intake. Set yourself a protein target in grams/day based on your likely protein needs. Decide how you want to divide up your energy calories (carbs vs fat), set it in stone for now, and plan your menus daily in advance to make sure you meet that goal. I suggest dividing your energy calories between carbs and fat evenly at this point.
After a week, reassess. If your weight is trending up or down, tweak your calories again. When you are stable you are ready to proceed with the next phase. Make sure your weight has been stable for a week or two before you move on from this phase.
According to conventional wisdom, cutting your calories by 500 calories a day should result in a loss of 1 pound per week, and cutting calories by 1000 calories per day will result in a loss of 2 pounds per week. This is something you can now test.
I suggest keeping your carb v fat ratio constant while you do this.
You can report your results after a month, or after you reach your goal. You don't have a lot of weight to lose, so you may find you get the results you are looking for and can stop.
Or you may wish to cycle through various test parameters to see what happens when you do 2 weeks of VLC, then high carb, then low fat. What happens when you get all your carbs as starches or as sugar?
And beyond this there are lots of other things that can be tested. Does eating the same food in a different number of meals make a difference? Do some of these changes make it harder to stick with the diet? Do any of the changes affect body composition?
When you reach your goal, you could even go back to the maintenance phase (where you will probably find your calorie requirements to be down a little bit), and test macro changes while keeping your intake constant.
Most people just drift. Many of them are able to achieve their goal weights simply by eating clean. For those who are not, if you need to monitor your intake strictly, even for just a while, you can turn it into a research project and get real data out of it.
Look at the exercise she's doing, and then think again about suggesting vegetables as the preferred carb source
indeedMake America Great Again
Yeah, people here seem to neglect any sort of individual context when handing out advice. I would suggest starch aswell tbh. I mean, eating mass quantities of the stuff(with mass quantities of fat) myself went hand in hand with being very lean. But some will have problems eating a lot of starch, and in light of them wanting to lose weight combined with that amount of exercise, the fruit may be easier for them to accept. I would say fruit>starch is slightly preferable if she's 'got 5lbs to lose', because amongst other things the caloric intake will invariably be lower.
It's a weird question to begin with - What carbs should I eat to lose weight? Perhaps she's not eating a sufficient amount to sustain that activity level.

I want to drop fat, but I really don't feel satisfied when I eliminate fruits and starch- I can handle it for about a week, then I get sick of it. So, if I want to include carbs and still drop fat, what are the best carbs to include?

"Yes sir, I am going to Arizona on Friday," said Jackson when asked if he was in deed making the trek south. "I am looking forward to my trip. I visited Arizona State my senior year in high school but now I am looking forward to visiting the University of Arizona."
Jackson has already taken an official visit to Oregon State and according Ruben, it went well.
"My trip to Oregon State was a real nice trip," he said. "It was a nice little visit. On a scale of one to ten I would probably give it a nine or so. It was a good visit."
Jackson played his high school days at Edison High School in Stockton, California and that may play in to the Wildcats favor.
"I know Chris Henry real well," said Jackson. "I talked to him the other day and he was telling me how much he likes it up there and where the program is going and everything. I played with Chris in high school."
In addition to Henry, the Cats may have yet another card up their sleeve in former CCSF Ram linebacker Randy Sims.
"I played with Randy Sims last year here too," said Jackson. "I talked to him at the same time I talked to Chris. He was telling me all the same stuff about how much he likes it down there and everything."
Jackson is being recruited by wide receivers coach Charlie Williams for Arizona and has spoken to head Coach Mike Stoops and new tight ends coach Josh Heupel.
"Coach Williams is a cool coach," he said. "I like him. I talked to coach Stoops and the new tight ends coach, Heupel, too and they both seem like really good guys. Coach Stoops is an outspoken guy and a real decent guy."

Reviews created during the creation of The Mysterious Five Project. These reviews are meant to be more critical about the game in certain aspects.
In your pre-review, please list the following:
- Your feelings about the game;

- How you think the article can be improved.
locky's review
i say that this game is good because i'm working on it
Exotoro's review
Ok, technically I work on this game too but as project supervisor here's what I think we need to fix:
Series Icons. Not all characters have them and it's a bit messy that way.
But otherwise I'm really enjoying working on this project. There's this energy I haven't felt since working on Fighters of Lapis 3 and there's just all these great ideas coming from everyone; by the time this is finished I have the feeling it'll be a while before I want to work on the next one but it'll be something to look back at for sure.
Not giving a rating since I work on it but I really do enjoy working on this.
Some Help
So, I really like this and would be on a sequel team if I was allowed to, but for now, let's actually bring some helpful comments.
- Game Modes are same same old basic FOL stuff.
- The EShop description is super cheesy.
- Same old characters(although less focused upon, which is nice).
- Since it's a lot of different writers, the descriptions for characters and stages aren't very seamless. Some are "lol so wacky" and some are more serious.
- Since there are a lot of characters that have to be added, a lot of the stuff is boring and old(basically making alternate versions or clones of characters to an obnoxious point)
- Not enough items, assists, or enemies
- Bosses are not elaborated on
I don't feel a score if appropriate for this. This is mainly just some suggestions. Pretty good game.

On the wall outside my speech therapy room there are cartoons of children saying, "I can!"
I tell my students the word "can't" is not allowed in my room.
It's only natural to begin believing what you hear, so tell yourself you can do anything. We hate to be wrong, so if you tell yourself you can do something then you are more willing to do what it takes to achieve something so you can prove yourself right. If you believe you can't do something then you have given up and will stop trying.
Some of my students have a hard time understanding this concept. I think this is because they truly believe they can't produce a sound or remember the order of days.
"I just want them to believe in themselves and know that can be the best in whatever they want. They have a hard time receiving that positive reinforcement because of their confidence levels," said Desiree Tamez, a middle-school teacher, referring to her students with disabilities.
Self-confidence and esteem play big roles in everybody's life. I believe it's the biggest factor for success, which is why I stress its importance.
People with disabilities have to realize their disability is just one aspect of their life. It is not who they are.
"I have Lupus. Lupus doesn't have me," Evelina Solis said .
Evelina is the founder of SoltoSoul, co-founder of Power of Women workshop, a motivational speaker, mother and wife,
She is a strong woman and is determined to defeat Lupus. She may not be happy to undergo surgeries or therapy but she is optimistic about it all. And her optimistic outlook has kept her alive, strong and successful.
She advised me and other women to "stop our freaking thinking." This means to stop thinking all those negative thoughts because they are not doing anything for us but hindering our abilities.
Replace your negative thoughts with positive thoughts. Focus on how your strengths can gain success.
The article "Who Me? Self-Esteem for People with Disabilities," by Ryan J. Voigt, mentions several tips to improve your self-esteem.
One tip states to avoid "should" statements, such as, "I should be able to finish this exam in 50 minutes like everyone else in the class." Voigt mentions how accommodations are set to offer an equal opportunity for students to show what they know.
A healthy self-esteem gives you the strength to achieve personal success.
Do you have any advice to promote a healthy self-esteem?

Tim Godwin, the Metropolitan police deputy commissioner, admitted pressure on public funds had left senior officers moving money away from frontline crime-fighting operations to meet the bill.
He told the Home Affairs Select Committee that the money used for "dedicated security posts" could instead "be used to provide police officers to police the streets".
MPs were also told by the head of the Met watchdog that it was "hard for the public to appreciate this money is well spent on their behalf."
The figures were disclosed as a lengthy row intensified between Scotland Yard chiefs and the Home Office over the security budget.
Sir Paul Stephenson, the Met police Commissioner, has been in a dispute with ministers over the rising cost of protecting the extended Royal family, including providing round-the-clock protection for Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice, the daughters of the Duke of York.
He has raised the issue with Government "almost constantly", MPs were told.
It costs the Met police approximately £50 million a year to cover the protection of the Royal family. Sir Paul has told the Home Secretary that he believes there is a £20 million annual shortfall in the amount central government is paying the force to carry out the duties.
Senior Yard officers, who have been urged to tighten budgets, have expressed their concerns about the substantial burden of costs borne by the taxpayer.
Since the September 11 attacks on America in 2001, 22 members of the Royal family has been given blanket security protection by the Metropolitan police.
Dai Davies, a former head of SO14, the Met's royal protection squad, said last week that some officers had voiced their doubts about the need for Princess Eugenie, who is taking a three-year degree at Newcastle University, to have full-time bodyguards.
He said: "I am not aware of any evidence of any threat to her. If there isn't a threat, it would appear to be a pointless exercise."
The princess's cousins Zara and Peter Phillips, the children of the Princess Royal, live safely without any bodyguards.
Meanwhile in 2008, the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester became the first members of the Royal family to visit America without any British police protection.
But another perceived anomaly is the case of Princess Alexandra, 73, the Queen's cousin and the youngest granddaughter of King George V. She carries out 120 royal engagements a year and lives in a large house in southwest London, which is afforded 24-hour protection.
The Met has an extra £4 million into its protection budget - the equivalent of more than 130 extra officers on the beat - as the gap has widened between demand for its specialist services and central funding.
"The amount of money at the moment in terms of dedicated security posts is a small sum, but that could be used to provide police officers to police the streets," Mr Godwin said.
"It is sometimes hard to identify what is the national bit and what is the London bit.
"One of the biggest challenges for the Met is to make the case of what the thing is and how much it costs, because it can vary," he added.
Kit Malthouse, the chairman of the Metropolitan Police Authority, told MPs: "It is a good point and one the commissioner discusses with the Home Office almost constantly.
"Our view is this money should come from central Government, but they have got us because to handle the risk we need to manage the service."
He added: "I think national functions should be funded nationally and the rest should be left to mainstream delivery.
"It is hard for the public to appreciate this money is well spent on their behalf."

From ink cartridges to dog biscuits, monks run thriving business
ancient order that broke off from the Benedictines, they were the
builders of the Middle Ages, harnessing water power for milling and
metalwork – industries that sustained the monks' simple lives of prayer
and contemplation.If they'd only known Father Bernard McCoy, those
businesses might still be humming today.McCoy, 42, is the marketing
genius behind LaserMonks Inc., the multimillion-dollar Internet
business that supports a small community of Cistercian monks on 500
rolling acres in western Wisconsin.There, at the Abbey of Our Lady of
Spring Bank, the six monks spend their days in ora et labora, or prayer
and work.They pay the bills and support their charitable endeavors by
selling (with the help of some equally enterprising women) printer inks
and toners, and now a host of other specialty products from around the
world."We're modern monks following an ancient tradition," said McCoy,
who holds a number of titles at the monastery, including prior, and
chief executive officer of LaserMonks.McCoy started the company in 2001
to generate income for the monastery, which had moved from Oconomowoc
in the 1980s and had recently completed construction of a new
17,000-square-foot abbey.
The monks had tried or rejected a
variety of other ventures over the years, including growing shiitake
mushrooms, real estate development – one project got them sued – and
developing a luxury golf course, before striking what has amounted to
black gold.McCoy was in the midst of the golf course deal, he says,
when, his printer ran out of toner. He started poking around for a
replacement and divine inspiration struck."I thought, gosh, if I can
save this kind of money for the monastery, what could I do for other
nonprofits?"Help with marketing Sales were slow initially, until Sarah
Caniglia and Cindy Griffith stumbled onto the monks' Web site. The
women, who lived in Colorado at the time, had experience in the ink and
toner business and approached the monks about collaborating.
firm, now called Monk Helper Marketing, has been running the business
ever since, from the ground floor of a three-story building on the
monastery grounds where they live with their five dogs and two
cats.Today, they manage a database of about 70,000 customers and sell a
lot more than ink and toner. Products touted on their various Web sites
include fair trade coffee, gourmet dog biscuits, decadent chocolates
and an array of boutique products made by monasteries around the
world."We knew once we were out here that we'd never go back," said
Caniglia, who is drawn by the spiritual atmosphere of the monastery and
the company's emphasis on charitable giving.
LaserMonks is
projecting sales of up to $3.5 million this year. Of that, 10% goes to
run the abbey, which gives $100,000 to $125,000 a year to charities
around the world, according to McCoy.The monks receive no personal
income, says McCoy, who touts himself as the lowest-paid CEO in
America."I ask for a raise every year, and every year they double it.
But two times zero is still zero."Very little of the work is actually
done by the Sparta monks. The ink and toner cartridges are filled
elsewhere and drop-shipped to customers from warehouses across the
country. They bake the Benevolent Biscuits dog treats the company
sells; they're taste-tested by the monastery's resident Doberman
pinscher, Ludwig.McCoy travels the country talking up the LaserMonks
story to business groups; his simple white and black robes have gotten
him through more than one door that might otherwise have been
closed.But the bulk of the work of LaserMonks is done by Caniglia,
Griffith and their employee, Victoria Bench."We run the operations,"
says Caniglia, "so they can be monks, pray and be contemplative."
monks' day begins at 4:15 a.m., when they gather in the chapel to pray
in the spare and haunting Gregorian chant passed down through the
monasteries of Europe for centuries. They'll return again and again,
spending in all about five hours a day in formal prayers. In the
intervening hours, they take their meals and carry on the work of the
monastery – cooking, cleaning, maintaining the grounds, spiritual
counseling – all in an atmosphere of silence.
In what remains of
the day, the monks pursue their own interests, some of which are
decidedly modern. Father Robert Keffer paints in a studio on the
grounds; Brother David Klecker enjoys photography and video production;
his day in the life of the monastery can be seen on YouTube. And
Brother Stephen Treat writes a blog. They ride the abbey's Peruvian
Paso horses. McCoy used to fly the abbey's plane, but he no longer has
time, so they're selling it. And in the kloisterkeller – a divine rec
room – they watch movies and play pool."It's all ordered to allow for a
life of otium sanctum, holy leisure," said McCoy, who joined the
monastery at the age of 22. "Time to reflect on the good, the true, the
The success of LaserMonks has afforded a level of
comfort, even luxury, some might see as inconsistent with monastic
ideals.It's not, said McCoy, who notes that Cistercian monks take a vow
of stability, a lifetime commitment to their monastic community, but
not a vow of poverty."Because we have a vow of stability, we have
property, tools, equipment, a library. Does it mean we live
ostentatiously? No. Are we comfortable? Yes," he said."We're not
drinking out of Baccarat crystal every day – unless somebody donates
it."We have what we need and not more."

|Fall of Shutai
|Location: Shutai
|Date: month of the Monkey, 1192 [1]
| Major Forces: Phoenix Clan,
Scorpion Clan
|Generals: Isawa Taiken
|Battles of Rokugan
The Fall of Shutai was the Phoenix show of strength in Scorpion territory during the War of the Twins. The village was razed to the ground. [1]
Shutai Edit
Shutai was located in the southernmost reaches of the Scorpion provinces, one of the most notable hotbeds of ronin, and more specifically bandit, activity anywhere in Rokugan. Its magistrates were either incompetent, quickly corrupted, or killed outright shortly after their arrival. Despite it, the village had been rebuilt following its virtual destruction during the Destroyer War, so the Phoenix believed that something of value to the Scorpion was found there. [1]
Orders Edit
Shutai was a soft target, which was ordered to eradicate completely, bloodying the Scorpion and teaching them how it feels to be in the reciving end of tactics they delight in employing. In 1191, Kyuden Agasha had been destroyed using ninja sabotage, so the Phoenix had decided to retaliate in similar way. [1]
Destruction Edit
Isawa Taiken led one hundred men, predominantly members of the Legion of Flame commnaded by Shiba Kataken, but more than a few members of the Firestorm Legion, counted among the most destructive shugenja among the Phoenix Clan. They moved from the east, crossing the lands of their Crane allies, and apporached as a merchant caravan that came from the south, near the Twilight Mountains, bordering the Yasuki lands. The attack was one of the few occasions in which they were permitted to unleash their true power. [1]

I ran into an interesting oddity after reading the initial post. I wanted to be sure I was attributing lyrics correctly - matching up lyrics with the artist I was pretty sure made the lyric famous.
It started looking like the common lyric websites do not place much emphasis on anything that happened before 2001, or thereabout.
"Boom Boom Boom Boom" should bring up John Lee Hooker first, but does not.
Katy Perry and Lady Gaga's parents were not even thought of when he did that.

Frank settled down in the Valley
And he hung his wild years on a nail that he drove through his wife's forehead
He sold used office furniture out there on San Fernando Road
Assumed a $30,000 loan at 15 1/4 % and put a down payment on a little two bedroom place
His wife was a spent piece of used jet trash
Made good bloody-marys
Kept her mouth shut most of the time
Had a little Chihuahua named Carlos that had some kind of skin disease and was totally blind.
They had a thoroughly modern kitchen, self-cleaning oven, the whole bit
Frank drove a little sedan
They were so happy
One night Frank was on his way home from work when he stopped at the liquor store
Picked up a couple of Mickey's Big Mouth's
Drank 'em in the car on his way to the Shell station
He got a gallon of gas in a can
Drove home, doused everything in the house
Torched it
And he parked across the street laughing
watching it burn
All Halloween orange and chimney red.
Then Frank put on a top forty station, got on the Hollywood Freeway
Headed North
Never could stand that dog

Local Competition Fumes over Sheetz Beer Sales
After the company resumed the sale of beer this week, liquor stores are worried they will be forced to close.
ALTOONA, Pa.-- Beer retailers here are concerned that if the Sheetz convenience restaurant here is permitted to sell beer, they will not be able to hold up against the competition, local television station WJAC reported.
The Sheetz convenience store here has resumed the sale of beer earlier this week, six months after the first attempt into the category was ended by the state, the report stated. Sheetz filed an appeal against a measure to stop selling beer, and until a judge decides if its liquor license is invalid, the store will be allowed to sell beer, the station reported.
In a separate report by WJAC, Sheetz officials said they expect a lengthy legal battle, but are thrilled to be back in the beer business. The final decision could be anywhere from six months to a year away, but until that time, Sheetz' adult customers can purchase six- and 12-packs of beer to go.
Although beer sales are only allowed at one location currently, some business owners told the station it will have a ripple effect, allowing Sheetz and other convenience stores to sell beer, then eventually grocery stores as well, the report stated.
In addition, many locations close to the Sheetz store said it would eventually shut their businesses down completely.

Having worked as an academic at MIT and a researcher specializing in computer technology and software engineering, Golan Levin now spends most of his time working as a performance artist. Rest assured his education hasn't gone to waste, however, as Levin blends high tech and customized software programs to create his own extraordinary audio and visual compositions. The results are inordinately experimental sonic and visual extravaganzas from the furthest left of the field.
Many of his pieces force audience participation, such as Dialtones: A Telesymphony, a concert from 2001 entirely composed of the choreographed ringtones of his audience. Regularly exhibiting pieces in galleries around the world, and also working as an Assistant Professor of Electronic Time-Based Art at Carnegie Mellon University, Levin is unapologetically pushing boundaries to define a brave new world of what is possible.
His latest piece, Double-Taker (Snout), is installed at the Pittsburg Museum of Art.
