Do you have this one? If not do you know what it is? Or if you do please let me know what this actually is. I was told it was a colonial weight to measure how much of a type of metal weighed. I have had this a while. It was found in a lot of uncleaned Roman coins years back. The coin looks great. It measures 3/8" thick and a little smaller than a quarter. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Even if you do not know please get back to me to let me know. Thank you, Pete
I also would like to know what this is. Looks like an old medallion to me but also a coin?

i've got a site where i want to randomize the branding image on the home page. not each time the user visits, but once per day
at the moment i'm thinking of using jquery to store a cookie when the user visits, which will last until midnight. then, if the user visits again that same day, just grab the image from the cache instead of sending them another random one
problem is, i've just heard of some strange EU rule on cookies, meaning you have to tell the user when you're using them. someone here said you don't have to tell the user / ask for permission / tick the popup box saying "can i use cookies" / etc IF the cookie is essential for site operation. but this is just to enable the caching of a simple image, albeit one that, from the site owners point of view, will massively cut down on bandwidth by not sending the users new images every five minutes
is it still ok to use cookies in this case? & if not, is there another way around this?
(i was thinking of maybe embedding a php script that automatically finds out which image should be shown on that day - & if that image is already in the cache just use that)
There was a discussion about this issue recently, which you might find helpful, especially this link, provided by @ULTiMATE: http://www.international-chamber.co....okie_guide.pdf
In hindsight, no one is going to care your site is using a cookie for this. The EU Cookie law is a miserable joke with no enforceability. So go right ahead.
nah, the EU cookie law has me a bit spooked. it might be a dumb law but if bureaucrats are gonna interfere i wanna be out of it in case i'm forced to make changes later. i'll just gonna give the user a different image on each day of the month instead
cheers anyway everyone

HOUSTON - A Navy veteran is making a miraculous recovery from a terrible accident.
Darion Nelson was thrown out of a truck in a wreck while serving in Kuwait. He landed face-first and inhaled sand. The lack of oxygen led to a severe brain injury.
Nelson's original prognosis was devastating. Doctors told his family that he would be in a vegetative state. But Nelson's will to survive, excellent medical care and NASA technology have helped him get back on his feet again.
About three months ago, moving down a hallway under his own steam was considered impossible for Nelson.
Nelson has been getting care at the Michael E. DeBakey V.A. Hospital in Houston. A NASA-engineered apparatus has helped him regain his balance.
The booth was designed to help astronauts get their balance back after long stints at the International Space Station. It has moveable walls and moveable foot plates that are teaching Nelson's brain how to keep his body upright.
His progress has been slow but remarkable.
"This machine, he hates," said Nelson's mother, Linda Freeman. "But I've seen what he started out as, not being able to balance or kept falling all the time. But now, with the use of the machine and the therapy, the physical therapy that he's getting, he's been able to balance more and do a whole lot more on his own, which makes him excited."
Nelson has a 15-month-old son. Nelson is learning to walk again while his son, James, is learning to walk for the first time.
"He's walking now and I miss it, doing what dads are supposed to do, like change him," Nelson said. "I can't do it because of my condition. But just hearing his voice keeps me going."
Nelson's nurse said she is confident that Nelson will one day walk alongside his son.

THE COUNTY men's national fours and triples championship semi-finals will be played at Chippenham Town on Saturday.
They have had to be re-arranged for 2pm and 6pm on Saturday so as not to clash with the inter-county men's national top fours competition game being staged on Sunday at Rugby between Wiltshire and Warwickshire.
West Wilts club Holt have a strong hand in the fours semi-finals with one team in each of the semis.
Wiltshire newcomer Craig Doughty's four face Graham Shadwell's rink from Spencer Moulton while Ben Gadd's quartet play surprise package Westlecot, a foursome of senior players led by Mike Titcombe Senior.
The two winners of the fours semis will represent Wiltshire at the men's national championships due to be held in August at Leamington Spa for the first time in their history.
The triples competition semi-finals at Chippenham is not as clear cut because two quarter-final matches featuring Holt teams against Westlecot trios were delayed and are not due to be resolved until this Friday evening owing to weather problems last week.
The teams for one of the triples semi-finals is known and that will feature previous holders Wootton Bassett, who finished as runners-up in the nationals at Worthing in 2012 against Shadwell's trio from Bradford-on-Avon.
The other could possibly be an all-Holt affair.
Fours Semi-finals (2pm): Rod Summers, Tony Keating, Kevin Rowdon & Craig Doughty (Holt) v Russell Francis, Gary Fippen, Andy Colebrooke & Graham Shadwell (Spencer Moulton). Wayne Simmonds, Justin Davis, Wayne Snook & Ben Gadd (Holt) v Joe Mazzotta, Mike Titcombe Snr, Mike Bowden & Mike Hall (Westlecot).
Triples Semi-finals (6pm): James Nobbs, Gary Morphet & Neil Smith (Wootton Bassett) v Russell Francis, Andy Colebrooke & Graham Shadwell (Spencer Moulton). Paul Sloman (Westlecot) or Ben Gadd (Holt) v Ray Sowden (Westlecot) or Craig Doughty (Holt).
The second semi-final is dependent on the results of the two delayed quarter-finals being played at Westlecot on Friday evening.
Meanwhile, a busy weekend is in store for Spencer Moulton duo Russell Francis and Graham Shadwell as well as Holt's Wayne Simmonds.
All three feature in the Wiltshire national fours and triples championship semi-finals being staged at Chippenham Town on Saturday.
Then on Sunday the trio have been named in the Wiltshire side to play Warwickshire away at Rugby in the opening round of the Balcombe Trophy, national county top fours competition.
A place in the regional final at Cotswold (Stroud) on June 22 awaits the first round winner.
Wiltshire team manager Dave Snell and his fellow Middleton Cup selectors have named a side packed with experience and only drawn from four clubs Wootton Bassett, Holt, Spencer Moulton and Westlecot for the Balcombe Trophy tie.
Rink 1: Wayne Simmonds (Holt), Steve Snell, Neil Smith (both Wootton Bassett) & Graham Shadwell (Spencer Moulton).
Rink 2: Graham Hatherall (Westlecot), Russell Francis (S Moulton), Mike Jackson & Mel Biggs (both W'lecot).

text: As I'm sure everyone knows, many parts of the U.S. are experiencing a major heat wave. Are people here cutting back on the grilling because it's just too uncomfortable outside? Tonight I grilled for the first time since last weekend and while I was in the garage the temperature went from well above 90 at the start to 105 by the time my round steak was done, but obviously I had a hot charcoal fire and a cast iron grate in a semi-enclosed space.

TRADESMEN of Yeovil, put down your hammer, turn off your drill, as this year's Britain's Top Tradesman (BTT) competition from Screwfix has launched in the South West.
Screwfix, which has a store in Yeovil, is launching its annual competition to find and recognise the brilliant builders, exceptional electricians, helpful handymen and perfect plumbers that keep the UK's homes and businesses in top condition.
Not only will this year's worthy winner carry the title that will transform their business - but they will also win the keys to a brand new £28,000 Toyota van (OTR) with all the gadgets and livery they need.
Last year, Tom Ball, a joiner from Cheshire, walked away with the crown after fighting off stiff competition from thousands of entrants.
He says it has had an amazing impact on his business, Tom Ball Joinery, bringing him new customers and filling his work book for months.
The Britain's Top Tradesman Award is given to those who can prove they excel in their business.
Maybe you've just started your own company, or perhaps you have taken a course to upgrade your skill-set.
You may have completed a complex job for someone, or you run your business with customers in mind, by offering transparent pricing, free quotes or on a no-fix no-fee basis.
No matter the reason, you have until 14th September 2014, to put your case forward and enter the competition.
John Mewett, marketing director at Screwfix, comments: "We run this competition to reward quality tradesmen and to celebrate their success.
The regional rounds of BTT enable people working in the trade to meet up, share ideas and tell us about what's happening on the ground. It's the fifth year we have run this competition, and the calibre of entries improves every year. We are looking forward to meeting and rewarding those tradesmen who go that extra mile.
This year's winner will receive a Toyota van and the title of Britain's Top Tradesman 2014, so it's well worth taking the time to fill out the easy application form."
Entries to BTT are open until 14th September 2014, with regional finalists going head to head in October.
The national final will be in November, with the overall winner being named Britain's Top Tradesman 2014.
To enter you can go into the Screwfix store in Yeovil, or go to screwfix.com/btt where you can also watch a film of Tom giving top tips on how to get through to the final. Visit our Facebook page for more information about the competition.

Line Navetta 30 — By Diane M. Byrne — May 2002
Ship Shape
|Part 2: Salty Appeal
Stylistically, the deckhouse is the first obvious nod to the Navetta's roots. International Project Studio, headed by naval architect Gianni Zuccon, places it forward and fully encloses it with large, square windows, more like that of a commercial ship--and much different than the open-air flying bridges of other Custom Line craft. It's not quite all business, though, because a ladder amidships at its base yields access to a private, small sundeck on its roof. This part of the superstructure is designed so that you'd never know a person was up there unless you climbed the ladder.
Another example of how Custom Line unobtrusively blends distinctly yacht-oriented features into the design is the all-teak swim platform. It doesn't protrude far or give the appearance of being tacked onto the transom; rather, it wraps around ever so subtly to blend into the hull sides just above the waterline.
While most of the interior reflects yacht-like traits, there are a handful of features that lend salty appeal. For example, large, square windows line the main deck. An all-wood planked sole--not wall-to-wall carpeting--runs through the saloon and dining area and even extends into the galley. A staircase to starboard in the saloon that is faced and topped with more wood leads down to the guest accommodations and up to the pilothouse. The steps are steep, much like those of a converted vessel; Custom Line was wise to include a handrail (in matching wood, of course).
While Custom Line offers owners a choice of woods and other soft goods, most of the five Navetta 30s that are currently under construction feature an appearance reminiscent of a bygone era rather than the highly lacquered, modern flourish we've all come to expect of Italian yards. Hull #1, shown here, best exemplifies the classic appeal, featuring satin-finished mahogany and coffered overheads.
Like the rest of the luxury yachts from Custom Line, the Navetta 30 permits owners to tailor space planning. It's easy to imagine many of them opting to have the owner's suite on the same level as the saloon, as was done on Sunshine of Spain, since this has become a growing trend on megayachts smaller than 150 feet LOA. Thanks to this arrangement above deck, the lower deck handily accommodates four guest staterooms, comprised of a full-beam VIP cabin amidships, two staterooms featuring twin beds (with ever-convenient pullman berths also available) just forward to either side of a foyer, and a double cabin forward of that. In an interesting twist for a yacht just over 100 feet LOA, Sunshine of Spain features a sauna in place of one of the two twin staterooms below.
Placing the owner's suite on deck does have a drawback, however. It limits space aft in the dining area and saloon--rooms sure to be centers of activity--as well as in the galley, so the alternate arrangement Custom Line offers might get a better reception among some prospective buyers. Instead of having a full-beam VIP cabin below decks, owners can turn that room into their private retreat and have the remaining three cabins house their guests.
Even though the Navetta is remarkably different from any other Custom Line yacht, the philosophy behind her creation is the same: comfort, polish, and pleasing lines. The yard is striving to prove that the seemingly incongruous concepts of shippy styling and luxury luster can blend.
Just don't tell that to the antagonists on opposite sides of the exploration-yacht argument; they just might catch on.

THE Cumbrian coastline looks set to be battered by 60mph winds prompting the Environment Agency to put a flood warning back in place.
A warning - the second most serious - is in force for the Morecambe Bay area including Roosebeck, Canal Foot, Arnside and Sandside, where tides could reach heights of 9.5m this afternoon.
"Due to a combination of high tides, strong winds and large waves, onshore flooding may occur," said a spokesman for the agency.
"Winds of up to 60mph are expected in coastal areas."
The high tide is expected at 3.59pm and the Environment Agency said conditions will apply two to four hours either side of high tide.
"The risk of flooding could continue," said John Curtin, head of incident management at the Environment Agency.
"We would again remind people to avoid coastal paths and promenades which could be dangerous."
Yesterday alerts were still in place for the Rivers Rothay, Brathay and Winster, but these have now been removed.
However at round 2pm yesterday coastal water overtopped at Sandside for the third time in as many days, causing havoc for motorists on the B5282 close to The Ship Inn.
On Friday water rushed up to houses and into the pub, and on Saturday it covered the road and left motorists stranded between pockets of deep water.
"We got to where the road had flooded slightly and pushed on and now we're facing even worse flooding," motorcyclist Nick Heaton told the Gazette at the time.
"We'll just have to wait for it to subside."
Another couple, who asked not to be named, also said they'd found themselves stuck and were waiting for water to recede.
On Friday the water also flooded areas of Arnside, Grange-over-Sands and Canal Foot at Ulverston.
However, a spokeswoman for the Bay Horse pub, at Canal Foot, told the Gazette that although it was raining and windy yesterday, no water had breached the road.
On Friday around 500 sandbags were handed out at South Lakeland District Council depots in Ulverston, Kendal, Troutbeck and from both Storth and Arnside village halls.
South Lakeland District Council later thanked residents for their 'vigilant' response to the extreme weather.
"Thanks to the warnings sent out most people were well prepared," said Nick Pearson, council street scene manager.
"Many residents living in coastal areas are used to dealing with the ever-present threat from the high tides."
To keep up to date with flood alerts people are urged to visit www.environment-agency.gov.uk, or call the agency's Floodline for advice and information on 0845 988 1188.
Anybody who manages to get pictures of flooding is asked to send them to email@example.com or tweet them to @annageorgina

Did you know?
The Garden Route Trail is the most ecologically diverse walking trail in South Africa.
A wonderful way to experience South Africa's famed Garden Route is on a guided trail. Choose from a variety of hiking trails that will take you deep into one of South Africa's most spectacular scenic areas.
If you have the time and are reasonably walking fit, opt for the guided five-day Slackpacker Trail that traverses the coast 63km from Wilderness to Brenton on Sea. You'll walk through two nature reserves – the Goukamma and the Wilderness section of the Garden Route National Park. On this walking trail you'll see an amazing variety of scenery, from Afro-montane and dune forests to coastal thickets and gorgeous beaches.
And it's not all walking. One day you'll canoe for three hours along the Touws River, splashing under refreshing cascades and swimming in deep rock pools. Then there are special beach days, where you're so remote you have only dolphins, African black oystercatchers and a cliff colony of Cape and white-breasted cormorants for company. Inspect the rock pools teeming with small marine life as your expert guide points out the different life forms.
You'll stay in simple, comfortable chalets and cabins, and the best part – especially if you don't want to get too physical – is that all your catering and carrying of luggage is done by a support crew.
If you're pushed for time, then go for the 6km Dune Mole Rat Trail, which meanders through a wetland area in a Ramsar Heritage site. You'll see birds galore. Or choose the popular and unforgettable three-hour Moonlight Meander and Starlight Stroll.
Or what about the Elephant Walk where you'll be guided along former elephant trails in the Diepvalle forest? You might even spot one of the elusive, almost legendary, forest giants.
But whatever walking trail you choose, expect a memorable experience.

Searching our site for cake content had one major side effect – an unquenchable craving for moist crumbs and sweet frosting! I gave in and made the absolute easiest cake on the page, courtesy of Mama Neely. I'm calling it my "Fool-Your-Friends Cake" since it uses a cake mix but tastes completely and deliciously home made.

Kind, helpful and almost as good as Marcus (before Didyme died, was Marcus very kind. So if Ralph had lived then, had he not been kinder to a Marcus. But when Ralph was born, was Didyme death. And when Didyme died, Marcus stricter on the rules. And it did so that he was also a little meaner. So now Ralph kinder than Marcus. But it was not until he Didyme died.).
His education is bodyguard. He is not mentioned in any of the movies or books. Ralph did not want to drink human blood, but does it because he is in the Volturi clan. He has at least blood thirsty in the Twilight saga. He has even less blood thirsty than Carlisle Cullen and Denali coven. He was the first who found that vegetarians fail to stop to drink them as well because they are tempted of of human blood if they have been living on animal blood for a long time. But Ralph lives on human blood, so he can control himself them. He kills only culprit. The first persons he killed was his parents. He killed his parents because they mistreated him, other children and other adults. But for the most part is it Heidi or any other of Volturi which provides blood to him.


text: Politics 30 April 2013 Unemployment up and inflation down in the eurozone ECB rate cuts expected Sign up for our weekly email * Print HTML The latest unemployment figures in the Eurozone are really, really bad. In fact, they are – again – the worst they've ever been: That's an average unemployment rate of 12.1 per cent in the eurozone (and 10.9 per cent in the wider EU). But that high rate disguises enormous disparities: unemployment in Greece is 27.2 per cent; unemployment in Spain is 26.7 per cent; but in Austria, just 4.7 per cent of people looking for work can't find it, and in Germany it's only 5.4 per cent. At the same time, inflation in the eurozone has been plummeting. In the latest quarterly data, the all-items index is estimated to have grown by just 1.2 per cent over the year – well below the 1.6 per cent which was predicted. That offers a ray of hope for the continent. Unlike the (claimed) British plan of fiscal restraint and monetary activism, Europe has experienced crippling austerity without any major monetary policy designed to ease the burden. Typically, that reluctance is ascribed to the stereotypical German fear of inflation. Regardless of whether or not the blame truly lies at the feet of Germany – and whether the fear of inflation is just a hangover from the harrowing experience of hyperinflation in the 1920s, or something more concrete – the ECB is an exceptionally inflation-averse central bank. All eyes will be on the bank later this week, then, as it announces whether or not it will be cutting rates for the first time in almost a year. It's bumping against the lower bound, since the bank already pays 0 per cent on overnight deposits; but the rate it charges for overnight loaning is still at 1.5 per cent. And its headline rate, which it charges to the majority of the banking system, is still at 0.75 per cent, leaving ample room for a cut. › Lies, Damn Lies, and Department for Work and Pensions Statistics Alex Hern is a technology reporter for the Guardian.

With the stress of endless classes and caffeine cravings becoming a distant memory (finally!), the time has come to get in some much deserved R&R and enjoy the festivities that come with this exciting time of year. For most of us, reuniting with loved ones over the winter break means endless airport lines/car rides upstate and the dreaded challenge of styling multiple outfits out of the same, oh so tiny suitcase. When traveling over the Christmas holidays, fear no more, for the simplicity of living out of a suitcase might just provide you with the sartorial salvation you've been looking for all along.
Scouring for last-minute deals downtown, I spotted this daring Fashionista dressed impeccably in an ensemble she mentioned was inspired by none other than the amazing Chanel Dallas fashion show. For looks appropriate for all ranges of festivities, take a couple pointers from this Fashionista and pack a high-waisted skirt in an interesting fabric. Other than pairing ideally with nearly anything in your closet, this piece is oh so perfect for evening parties and afternoons spent catching up with your loved ones. Pay homage to Karl Lagerfeld with the addition of a western inspired denim vest. Not only will such a piece add a little texture to all your looks, but also bring a little pop of color to those gray and dreary winter days! In terms of footwear, as this Fashionista goes to show, the key item necessary to survive all holiday parties is a pair of classic platform ankle boots. With all of these pieces in your suitcase this season, dressing from a selection of your wardrobe won't be a drag at all!
One Simple Change: For a more casual event, such as brunch, ditch the platforms and skirt and opt for a relaxed T-shirt dress and strappy flats instead.

Evaluated by Dr. Nagorney of General Surgery, who did not recommend surgical resection. An MRI of the abdomen demonstrated right hepatic lobe masses under the diaphragm and along the posterior margin of the liver adjacent to the right hepatic vein which is suspicious for residual cholangiocarcinoma.
God bless.
So far thru my research,there are no effective chemotherapy for recurrence.
RFA, microwave ablation , IRE (irreversible electroporation),TACE (chemoembolization), PEI (percutaneous Ethanol Injection),cryoablation and radioembolization with y90(glass or resin) are non-systemic interventional radiation treatments that can extend my survival time as an intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patient and the PDT and IMRT (ie: Cyberknife),,nano knife,SBRT are treatments for Extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma patients.
But none of the above treatment choices is a cure for CCA.
Even Only surgery can provide the only possible cure for CCA and in my case, the CCA COMEs AROUND every 20 month after resection with chemotherapy.this is not a long term cure but a chronic disease that require a lot of decisions to be made after reading and attending a lot of seminars.it is indeed a roll-coaster ride.
the recurrence is high (50-75%) for CCA.But if you can discover the tumor recurrence earlier (ie: sizes of the lesion or tumor</=3cm and not more than 3-4,even with a few lymph nodes involvement; IRE, cryoablation, RFA with chemoembolization can extend the life and qualitity of life for those who is not resectable.
Again ,the KEY is EARLY DETECTION by CT ,MRI (both are for structural change of the tumor and if the scan is positive,then follow up with a PET/CT to find out whether the tumor is active
Finally, as recurrence is very common (50-75%) , try to view CC as a CHRONIC disease like our Marion said may not be a bad idea, like hypertension or diabetes ,then the negative psychological and emotional impact will be much less for the patients as well as for the caregivers when we first heard of this disease and we can devote more positive energy to prepare learning and treating the cholangiocarcinoma at hand.

Great post!!!
I love lobster on the grill - beats boiled or steamed any day.
Regarding the steaks, did it develop a crust? The reason I ask is i do mine 2 minutes per side for medium rare, all over the chimney. Great crust. The outside meat will get a bit more done, though, but it's really only a 1/8 inch portion, not a problem with a 11/2 or 2 inch steak, but may be problematic on thineer steaks.
Also, remember to let them rest.

Well Thursday night was Bevin's 2nd injection and I decided I would give it to her. We planned to feed her dinner and then while getting her ready for bed I would give her the shot. Well during dinner she went into melt down mode so Rich started getting her ready for bed while I got everything ready for the injection.
Getting ready to give Bev the shot
Putting the band-aid on
Daddy holding Bev
Bev falling asleep after her shot
I managed to suck it up and give her the injection and then she wanted Daddy to hold her and was asleep within minutes. We have noticed the past few days she seemed to be walking better. She still has the limp, but it didn't seem quite as bad and she seemed to loosen up a little quicker in the mornings.
Friday afternoon I met with the Sacramento Region Arthritis Foundation and am so happy I did. Eric and Kelly were great and we will get to include Bevin's picture and story on some things for the walk. This makes me look forward to May 14th even more! I did find out however that Bevin's Rheumatologist was the only Pediatric Rheumatologist in the Northern California area…I didn't know this. I thought he was just the only one for the Kaiser in Northern California. Apparently there are some states that don't even have a Pediatric Rheumatologist. This makes me very glad Kaiser plans on replacing Sr. Stobie with 2 Pediatric Rheumatologists.
I also received an e-mail from Bev's pediatrician letting me know that Dr. Stobie had officially retired and they have currently only filled one of the two positions for his replacements. The one position they filled will not be filled until August…they are still waiting to offer the other opening. Until then we will get to keep seeing Bevin's pediatrician until a new pediatric Rheumatologist starts. In the e-mail her pediatrician said he wanted to see her within the first month of February so we called to make the appointment and were able to get in the same day.
It ended up being a little earlier than her pediatrician wanted to see her to follow up on her MTX, but it ended up being a good thing we went in. Bevin had a fever and an ear infection so she had Amoxicillin added to her little drug cocktail. Her pediatrician also noticed she seemed to be walking better…so I really think that's a good sign to tell us the MTX is helping her! Fingers crossed…

Gordon drives Dodgers' win from leadoff spot
Second baseman tallies three hits, scores four runs, steals two bases
ATLANTA -- Dee Gordon notched three hits, scored four runs and swiped two bags to up his Major League-leading total to 54 as the Dodgers held on in a tight finish to defeat the Braves, 6-4, on Thursday afternoon at Turner Field.
Los Angeles has ended all nine of its road trips this year with a winning record.
Gordon was one of four Dodgers with multiple hits, crossing the plate courtesy of Yasiel Puig and Adrian Gonzalez, who tallied three knocks apiece. Puig brought Gordon home from third in the first, and Gonzalez plated Gordon from third in the third, from second in the fifth and again from second in the ninth.
"Dee Gordon beat us. He got on base four times and scored four times," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He's probably your most traditional leadoff hitter I've seen in a long time, a guy that can get on base with a bunt or a walk and create some havoc with his legs."
A game like Thursday's was what Gordon needed after a rough couple of weeks at the plate. He was batting a respectable .250 (19-for-76) since July 25 entering Thursday, but he hadn't walked in any of his past 78 plate appearances.
"When you're not going so good, I think I'm doing a better job of not going outside of my game," Gordon said. "I had a rough week and a half, two weeks -- getting a hit, lining out and not having much to show for it. I just grinded it out and just tried to keep playing my game."
"I think his lack of change has really been, to me, a sign of confidence in what he's doing and maturity that says, 'I'm not going to go into changing everything just because I go a few days without getting a hit,'" Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "I think the lack of change is showing a maturity in him."
Gordon and the upstart offense did just enough to back a strong outing by Roberto Hernandez, who earned his first win as a Dodger and the team's National League-leading 70th victory, and a shaky bullpen performance.
Hernandez, who allowed two earned runs or fewer for the seventh time in his past nine outings, gave up one run on three hits in six frames before giving way to a relief corps that white-knuckled its way through the final innings. Atlanta notched eight hits against Los Angeles' bullpen and tagged Brian Wilson for three runs.
Kenley Jansen cleaned up Wilson's mess in the eighth by striking out Evan Gattis, but he gave up a single to Jason Heyward and a double to Freddie Freeman in the ninth that put the game's tying runs in scoring position. But Jansen ended the threat with yet another strikeout, fanning B.J. Upton to earn his 34th save.
"Today wasn't an easy day," Jansen said. "I feel like I didn't have my stuff, but I just battled mentally just to get myself out of that game."

Results 681 to 700 of 792
Roundabout SE
Bravo 1 FTL
We got in the truck and drove off. After disembarking and not getting any orders I realizedBravo Squad Lead. Got into our transport truck and... died.
Bravo was ordered to flank around the valley from the north, told the situation to the fireteams and we went. Suddenly, my internet started acting up. After going to the attic to restart my router I found myself very far away from the engagement zone (thanks AI). Relinquished command of Bravo to Skabooga from A2, and gave command of the fireteam to my AR Zitron until I regrouped.
By the time I RV'ed, Bravo was being engaged from every angle, took command of my fireteam, but left command of Bravo to Skabooga, as he had a better idea of the situtation. A few injuries and revives later, we won.
Goose Chase
Alpha 1 FTL
Took up FTL slot again as it was empty for like 2 minutes, no regrets best mission in quite a while.
We were heading with a hostage due East, with Unaco, the hostage guard commanding the element of the two fireteams A1 and A3.
We would move as fast as possible to the safezone East, A1 would lead in front, Hostie in the middle, and A3 in the back. We were buzzed by the chopper constantly while moving, I would like to know how easy were we to spot, as I could see the door gunner very clearly at times.
So, after walking for quite a bit, Wolfenswan (A3), reported that the chopper has powered down north of us and is disembarking troops. Unaco ordered a quick spring towards south to Msta(?) safehouse to take some transport. The chopper followed us through the forest.
We arrived at the safehouse and found a sedan and a Diskha UAZ. Hostage and Unaco took the sedan and drove forward. We took the UAZ, and started firing at the chopper. What followed was a chase scene to the outskirts of Elektrozavodsk, us only stopping to scare off the chopper with our dishka. After arriving at a designated RV, we ditched the transports and went on foot through the forest. We kept 2 people in the UAZ to scare off the chopper.
What followed was a very confusing last minutes.
We heard the chopper power down. A3 is being engaged. Unaco orders A1 to advance forward. I spot the chopper, on the ground, realizing it's an excellent position to flank BLUFOR. A BLUFOR pilot scared me very much but me and my buddy killed him. Buddy lost his legs, my other fireteam members sprint to steal the chopper (will know it is frowned upon in the future, sorry). I run over to two BLUFOR sitting near a fence and I shot both of them in the backs. One of the pesky blufor didn't die, but go into agony mode and shot me with his m249. I got into agony too, as the blufor crawled near me he said "I ran out of ammo" *click, click*. I smiled and shot him with my full AK mag. My buddy revived me, after crawling to my position for quite a while.
Here we were, only now realizing that Unaco was dead, A3 dead, us cannot stand up, and the hostage - gone. I ordered the guys in the chopper to find the hostage, giving them a rough position. Saw enemy helicopter flying around, looted the M249 and shot everything at it, then took a nearby M4 holo (keke FTL loot), and emptied that too to no effect. Then saw the heli land, and a few moments later the mission ended.
Nothing special happened here, went to the crash site with Strang in command, saw the enemy and died almost immediately, evil custom AI.
Phew, what a wall of text. Really enjoyed that session, especially Goose Chase, I think that mission worked very well, would be interesting to experience it from the BLUFOR side, see how it plays out.

Here's a short video of Goose Chase, showing the botched west Chernarus hostage rescue. For reference SuperU was ASL, my two-man A1 (me and Simon) were trying to cut the enemies off as they were trying to get into the safe zone, while A2 FTL'd by IceRaiser was chasing the fleeing enemies from behind. The white jacket of the hostage shone like a star in the middle of the forest, making it fairly easy to follow the fleeing OPFOR from A1's position and close in.
You also get to observe the horror that is ARMA2 HDR.Clips are fully loaded, and then blood floods the lawn
I was only around for Goose Chase, so I can only post about that. At great length! I was the "Element Lead" for the Eastern Group, so I can shed some light on what our thinking was, and the confusion there at the end, with the Chopper and stuff.
Goose Chase
Guard 1, looking after Aido and Alphas 1 and 3.
I was tasked with getting my hostage to the Eastern most Safe Zone, keeping OFF the roads, out of clearings and towns, under cover, and moving fast. We knew that BluFor would have to anticipate us, find a clearing to set down and get boots on the ground... so if we kept moving and kept away from any likely spots, I thought we'd be able to keep a step ahead of them, always being gone and moved on by the time they got in a position to move in on us. We did pretty well, for the majority, only seeing a BluFor infantry man when we were ~1100 meters from our final destination.
I was looking after Aido, who was a very good hostage. He gave me a little hassle at first, not knowing instinctively which direction I wanted him to go (no compass), and running into a wall for a while. But he eventually got to following me obediently (with one of the other groups shepherding him from behind. I don't know how it was for him (it is difficult to play hostages and the like), but I thought it was a nice balance of him possibly running off (and me keeping an eye on my STHUD) without it being a constant pain. And without me having to shoot him.
We headed out East, with Alpha1 running 100 or so meters ahead, scouting out the ground, Alpha3 taking up the rear 50 meters back, and me and Aldo sandwiched between. Fer had stressed he wanted us to keep moving, and to keep to the trees, for the reasons listed above. I thought it was a good plan, and that we'd do best avoiding, or fighting around/past any engagements. We were being buzzed pretty much from the off, but it was a few minutes in before I reckoned they'd got a solid on our position, when a chopper dropped some troops, by parachute, to our North, with some more activity East, in our path.
This was the first mission I'd commanded at such a level for quite a while, so I was a little rusty with my decisions... as we shall see. I figured BluFor had anticipated our Eastern route, to the vehicles cache thing we were heading for, and that an ambush was waiting East (the anvil), and the Northern troops were there to move in on our flank/rear (the hammer). I decided to divert to a vehicle cache to the South... figuring it would take BluFor too long to reposition and ambush us there, while we avoided anything they had planned. I also thought we could give BluFor a surprise ourselves, and tasked Wolf and Alpha3 with holding back, and setting an ambush on BluFor if they moved down.
Me, the Hostage and Alpha1 made it to Mrsta and were able to secure ourselves a Sedan, and a DSkHm UAZ. We were still getting constantly buzzed by the chopper, but no ground troops. I gave the UAZ permission to open up if they got a good shot on the chopper, try and keep it away from us if we were going to be taking any roads with our new shiny vehicles. To that, I said my decisions and planning were a little rusty. I checked the map and realised we weren't in the greatest position. The only roads nearby led back up North to Staroye, and were I figured BluFor would be waiting for us, or South, down to Elektravadosk, and then a long route round the coast, or back inland, which would have left us quite exposed, but moving fast enough to not give Blufor time to set anything up. I should have had a better idea of what to do there.
In the end, I chose a Thunder run down to Elektra, and then to turn back inland, up to Staroye and hook up with Alpha3 (who had flanked our initial route, but not encountered BluFor), with the circuitous route confounding any ambushes and the like. I picked a point ~3K of the Safe zone, and got everyone back on foot, except for a gunner/driver for the Uaz. Those on foot would move (almost) directly to the Safe zone, but keeping in cover as much as they could, while the Uaz would shadow us on the road North, and scout out our final destination. We were still being constantly buzzed by the chopper, and then I got the bad news from Fer... a second chopper, and at least a fireteam, was now headed our way to join the one currently bothering us, and he was bugging out. We were on our own, with all the remaining BluFor focussing on us.
We got ~1300 meters from the Safe zone, and things were getting tense. It must have been quite obvious to BluFor which zone we were heading to, and from which general direction, so I was somewhat expecting the contact when it came. Alpha3 were leading, Alpha1 taking up the rear, moving NE. Alpha3 got contact to our East. I tasked them with engaging, figuring they could hold them off, while Alpha1 and I made a bee line North and slipped away. As we moved forward, we encountered some more enemy (or the same) and Alpha1 made to flank them and hit them while Alpha3 pinned them. I needed to make a decision... I was getting a little confused, Wolf (A3 lead) was down, I didn't know where the enemy were exactly, or if we had a hope of beating them in a stand up fight. I didn't know if there were more enemy directly North and if I could or should rush off with the Hostage, leaving my Fireteams to die, holding the enemy off, or if we could disengage and pull out with some force still intact. I got radio that the enemy had landed a chopper, and that it was easy pickings. Wild, heroic fantasies of bundling the Hostage into the enemy chopper and stealing it from under their noses ran through my mind. As all of this was happening, I caught some muzzle flash from a low wall to my right, between A1 and A3 to my mind, and I figured we had (some of) the enemy sandwiched between us. I made a decision...
In the end, it was a regrettable decision. I decided to take the shot, to kill the enemy engaging us there, to fight our way out together, and, maybe, try and secure that chopper. I decided to take the shot. Regrettable. For a start, I had a Bizon. It was ~150-200 meters, the target was moving, and I had a Bizon. He likely had some sort of scoped/holo M16. Secondly, I was wearing a sky blue tracksuit, and wasn't in anything you could call cover. He was wearing woodland camo and had trees to hide behind. Regrettable. I saw some more muzzle flash, and that was it. It was then I thought, I should have just ran. The Fireteams were screening me from the enemy, we could have made it away North and probably had a damn good chance of making it the ~1K to safety. But hindsight's a bitch.
With me dead, it seemed to unravel somewhat with OpFor... Halop did a nice ambush and execution on at least 3 BluFor, but left one still alive, writhing around to wound him. And, in the end, if we couldn't have the hostage, no one could, and he got killed shortly after BluFor landed and picked him up. We were the bad guys, after all. If I'd stayed alive, or someone had noticed the absence of my melodious tones, we could have still had a chance of pulling out and getting the hostage secure again. But hindsight's a bitch.
I should probably take (some) responsibility for the chopper, and any OpFor antics with it. I should have cut the idea down as soon as it was suggested, and I should have told them off it when they made a move for it... but I was dead by then. And I was thinking with my bones/balls, rather than my brains, and I thought we could try and pull off something spectacular after I had made my 2 Fireteams do little but run through some woods and take potshots at a chopper for an hour or so... If we could do it in a decent manner. I apologise for not speaking up on it, as I should have.
It was a good mission though, and I enjoyed myself... despite the pressures of command, and somewhat spoiling A1 & 3's fun by keeping them AWAY from the enemy as best I could.

We tickled the 40 players today but didn't quite make it. Shapur Raiders went as expected, with general dying fueled by ASR_AI anger. Goose Chase went to Blufor though with one hostage dead and the other only surviving by sheer luck it's a victory of questionable fashion. Black Folk Down went worse than the last times, with both Squads nearly perishing at the feet of bunker hill

It's okay to not like things.
Fun fact: this was my first time playing Arma 2 multiplayer. Chances are you could probably tell. Had a great time though! :D
Lessons learnt:
- I really need to install STHud
- I should turn down the quality settings so I don't end up with BlackFolkDown turning into an interactive slideshow and having to quit because of it.
- The mic is my friend, so I should use it.

Very fun session today. I took command of two missions which meant a lot of shouting and losing control.
- Shapur Raiders
Charlie Squad Lead. Started with a plan to take positions and watch to the south / reinforce alpha and bravo to the north, but the convoy interrupted all that and shot me in the face. Mission over very quickly
- GooseChase
OpFor Commander. The plan wasn't bad, but didn't leave much room for dealing with a BLUfor ambush and didn't anticipate the death of a hostage. With two squads down, the remaining group was surrounded and killed. SuperU, with an alarmingly effective case of Stockholm Syndrome, dodged death to grant BLUfor a win. A lot of CC shouting occurred on my part as things fell to pieces.
The mission could easily have ended in the first few minutes as SuperU decided to walk 200M across an open field with only two men as guards. There was only two AK47s inbetween him and a swift BLUfor rescue.
Many thanks to squads one and three for dying valiantly.
- BlackFolkDown
Alpha Medic. Helped secure Abdul, the warlord with questionable motives, before watching Toppo get sniped out of his helicopter. Fell victims to snipers myself, starting cheating by accident, gunned down when running across open ground.
- Police Rescue
BLUfor commander. Very fun mission which worked well with a two commanders structure - came all so close to winning but had the hostages snatched from our grasp, then they decided to run off. BLUfor and Opfor continued to fight as orders become meaningless in a post-apocalyptic Zargabad.
- Test Mission
Far too many map markers. Far too many grenades. Good mission.
After session - Undercover
Black people should not attempt to pass themselves off as takistani locals.
After After Session - Escape From Chernarus
Modern Warfare 14: Captain Price vs ASR AI
I strongly recommend people stick around after sessions if they are able. It's a lot less serious and the more informal missions get played. Plenty of fun to be had

Was I the only one that found Police Rescue confusing? It didn't have tags or anything so I got separated from my FT and ultimately paid the price of an infantryman to some nasty rocks. Also it lagged. :D
Shapur Raiders
Alpha Squad Lead
"Hell yeah, alpha squad supreme let's go and kill that convoy... oh it's already here and shooting death at us. Come in A2, *silence*, come in A1, *silence*." Then I get a message on global that there are only 3 people left, okay time for heroics, atleast i have my med.., had, as he got butchered by a hind.
Okay sole survivor mode GO, I hear an UAZ, it has a Dshka, I kill the gunner and driver. Then I sprint to it, gonna teach that hind a lesson, and it shot me with it's autocannon.
Even though I was hoping to hold out for Blufor, I got into Opfor. Same plan as before, splitting up, but this time I went West. Ghandi was my element lead and hostie guard. We get into a forest near that village don't remember the name. We got engaged by the chopper, my team returned fire and, as I learned post game, killed it's door gunner, Waffly. But at the same time, sneaky Blufor A1 was shooting at us at the same time as the chopper, so I dismissed those shots as Chopper fire.
If only I had known that Blufor was already on the ground stalking us. As expected of a clueless FTL, I walked into the perfect ambush, and my Fireteam was massacred in seconds.
Bravo 2 AT
It was a pretty smooth mission for our fireteam, not counting the end. Sounded like Alpha got shot up pretty bad, bravo also lost quite a lot of guys near the end. That assault on the villa was evil. Got killed by an enemy sniper.

Tonight we played:
Goose chase
Rep Revolution
The goose was well and truely chased, Vanguard was as painful as ever and Special soup's new mission had ice escaping by the skin of his teeth.
Please come along on Sunday for more splodes and possibly less baby noises, or not.
I was only around for Vanguard. Was Bravo SL.
Everything went somewhat smoothly up until the point when we reached the southern end of that industrial complex we were supposed to clear. There was a static or something to our south. In hindsight, I should have sent some fireteam to flank it form the side, there was an opening in the walls to the back. But, Vanguard is Vanguard, I got shot and killed, and then I disconnected, didn't see what happened in the end. Ruling through incompetence :D

Goose Chase
I was hostage #1, "protected" by Ghandis.
We started off by hanging around in the starting village, trying to understand how Ghandis' relatives could've bought such a crappy house.
Crappy table in the crappy kitchen:
I did use the wait to catch some sun:
After a little while, Ghandis decided that we should travel up to his summer home.
We got caught up in some traffic but after I yelled at the driver in front that he was a worse driver than my grandmother, he drove off the road and almost hit a tree.
Satisfied that we could now drive faster than 30 I told Ghandis to punch it! I was getting hungry.
But when we got there.. we waited:
Some TV-inspectors came flying past in a helicopter and shot up Ghandis cars - even killing one of his friends :o
They flew away though when they realised that the Ghandis had paid his bills.
We waited some more and I realised that Ghandis did not have a soul. Look at those empty eyes:
One of Ghandis friends came by, wearing nothing but a pyjamas, namned Wolff and told us that we'd go to the pancake factory.
On our way there Ghandis insulted me by saying that my manhood was small.
The rest of the way I refused to talk to him and just sat there looking out the window.
We got to a russian harbour and Ghandis got out and pointed his gun at me, telling me to get out.
I refused; unless he would apologize!
He said "sorry, now get out". I forced him to say it really-really nice and mean it!
"I'm really-really sorry and your manhood is big". I jumped out and said "Great, we're friends. Let's go have pancakes!"
Then bullets started flying around us as the TV-inspectors hunted Ghandis, even though he said he'd paid, and I crawled all the way to a medic-marked pancake vodnik.
But they were all out of pancakes :(
Toppo(?) was the FTL of A1, Bodge was SL.
We flanked around north, went in and killed dudes.
M113's died, Bravo died, tank died...
We got to the first stronghold and managed to piss off a T-34, leading to Bodge's death.
Alpha regrouped, 5 men strong, and charged at the hill!
And we died ^.^
Great commanding, awesome job Alpha!
Rep Revolution
King IceRaiser o' Pancakes needed to be transported to the airfield to personally test the latest shipment of pancakes.
Specialsoup(?) was in charge of my loyal bodyguards.
The plan was to drive in a convoy with the BMP2 first, followed by a SUV with a Fireteam, SUV with me and a fireteam and a Ural bringing up the rear with anyone that couldn't fit+CO.
I decided to grab the frontseat so I could pick the radiostation and poke my loyal driver, Dan, with a stick I found.
The plan was simple:
As we got to the last little hill before Nagara, an IED exploded between the BMP and the SUV, destroying the SUV.
The BMP struggled to turn and seemed really confused(note to self: don't hire the sheepest crew) and I yelled at Dan to drive, drive and DRIIIIIIVE!
Bullets dented my beautiful SUV as we flew over the dunes and into Nagara, making a speedy escape.
My loyal bodyguards did their job and their family's shall recieve a goat each.
We got to the airfield and pancakes was had.
Thanks everyone for coming along and trying to kill me :)

Guard for Stanglove.
I actually have a video of this mission, but not very much happened and due to living in a) the worst place in England, and b) farmland, It would take a very long time to upload a not very interesting video.
After a confusing start where I struggled to work out which vehicle was which and where the rest of Black Mamba's fireteam was going, we set off. We quickly realised our driver was not even in our mumble channel, followed by Black Mamba falling out of the pickup and being left behind. He proved extremely useful in confusing BLUFOR from behind enemy lines.
After Mamba passed on intel on where BLUfor were paradropping, we swerved around to Stary, met up with our expressionless comrades, found a less than inviting selection of vehicles are proceeded north. We came to a point where we had to drive several hundred metres across open fields in our god awful pickup. Luckily, BLUfor chose this moment to land their helo and pick up the troops they dropped in completely the wrong place. We picked up a Dshkm armed UAZ and gunned it to Krasnostav. I got my cereal from the supermarket, Strang went crazy on the gun, something nearby blew up for absolutely no reason.
Alpha 3 FTL. Drove the M113 around, half of my squad joined the squad lead as he pushed into the compound, lost the M113 which did far less drifting than hoped, proceeded to be destroyed by a tank. Apologies to Macaco for running him over.
Rep Revolution
Thanks to all for testing. I've made a few changes already and I'll put another version up sometime soon. The mission didn't quite go as planned but there was plenty of action and 'king' iceraiser came within millimetres of lead-based death.
[AAR] I44 10/11/12 - <- Look at that date!
So we played I44 again :D
And we actually completed some Kalelovil's missions so that counts as a success in my book.
We played these missions:
Road Escort - different versions and quite a lot of times because it was that fun.
Dynamic campaign
Tunnel ambush
As always thanks to those who came, and I hope I'll see you next week.
Really though, we need to recruit more minio... I mean soldiers for the next session.
BTW it was fun, especially when I died twice in a flying double-truck.

The time travelling, mortar firing, gravity defying, half-track owning 20 wheeled battle truck was the highlight.
Also forcing daf to hide in a hole in the Tunnel mission was fun.

Smith drops rookie battle to Cards' Lyons
Padres righty allows four runs on five hits in one-plus innings
SAN DIEGO -- When Padres manager Bud Black came to the mound during the second inning on Wednesday night, he had a chat with his starting pitcher, Burch Smith, before taking him out of the game. Black said they talked a little bit about the present, but also about the future.
"In short, I told him, tonight was not the night that he needed to continue," Black said.
Smith left the game without recording an out in the second inning as the Cardinals defeated the Padres, 5-3, in front of 18,683 at Petco Park.
Black announced after the game that the team would option Smith to Triple-A Tucson with a corresponding roster move to come on Friday.
"Right now, I think it's time for him to go back and reassess what happened here, realize what he did in Double-A and continue to grow as a pitcher," Black said. "He took away from here what it means when you don't execute a pitch at the Major League level."
St. Louis tagged Smith for three runs in a 37-pitch first inning that saw nine batters come to the plate. He was charged with four runs on five hits, four of which came on two-strike counts. This was the second start in which he failed to record an out in the second inning (May 11 at Tampa Bay). He allowed 15 runs in 7 1/3 innings in three starts.
"Obviously not happy about it," Smith said about going back to the Minors. "But I feel like I could've performed better. I understand that it's a numbers game. So I'm going to go to Triple-A and continue to improve."
The Padres (21-25) have dropped their last two games to finish this seven-game homestand 3-4. They are in fourth place, however, only 4 1/2 games out of first. San Diego begins a three-game road series against Arizona, which is in a three way tie for first with Colorado and San Francisco, on Friday.
Smith was actually the more experienced pitcher compared to Cardinals' starter Tyler Lyons, who was making his Major League debut.
And Lyons (1-0) fit right in with the rest of the Cardinals' starting pitchers, who have the best ERA in the Majors. He flummoxed the Padres for seven innings, scattering four hits. Fifteen of the 21 outs he recorded didn't leave the infield thanks to an effective sinker.
The only run he allowed came on a homer in the seventh from his former teammate in the Arizona Fall League, Jedd Gyorko.
"He had some pretty good late downward movement," Gyorko said. "You hit your spots and have that kind of movement, you're going to be pretty successful."
Cardinals manager Mike Matheny thought his team's early run support was a huge boost for Lyons, who said his first career outing -- which included his first career hit -- was "everything he could ask for."
"It's always a better situation to go out with a little bit of a lead," Matheny said. "It creates a different atmosphere in the dugout, too. When guys are scoring right from the top, there's a buzz going on. They can't wait to see what this kid can do. And it helps him to have a better chance."
San Diego battled back in the ninth, when Alexi Amarista's two-out single drove in a pair of runs, but it was too little too late.
Tim Stauffer relieved Smith and preserved the Padres' bullpen, lasting 5 2/3 innings while allowing one run with seven strikeouts.
"Those five plus innings might help us in Arizona and Seattle," Black said. "It saved a number of guys in the bullpen."

Almond-Pea Soupby Amie Valpone in Healthy Recipes, May 10, 2013
Spring to me means fresh green soups and that's just what I created for this year's Mother's day menu at our home. This soup combines sweet veggie flavor from the peas with creaminess from almonds. I added a few sprigs of fresh mint and my favorite Vidalia onions to dazzle taste buds and add a sweet touch without any added sugar. Pair this soup with a salad and lean protein such as grilled fish and a spinach salad for a Mother's Day dinner that Mom will love.
Almond-Pea Soup
Serves 4
2 tablespoons dairy-free butter
1 large Vidalia onion, chopped
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 cups chicken broth
1 lb. frozen peas
1/2 cup packed fresh mint
1 cup almonds
3 chives, finely chopped
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, salt and pepper; cook for 5 minutes, then add chicken broth; cook for another 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
Place the peas, mint and almonds in a blender with the chicken broth mixture; blend until smooth.
Garnish with chives and serve.

German translation:
"Bemaßung" is written with "ß" instead of "ss".
BTW, this may be useful: dict.leo.org
Thanks Nomen. QCAD uses the Swiss German spelling rules (we don't use the German ß in Switzerland).
Spanish Translation:
"Close Sequence" must be "Cierra la secuencia" and not "Cerca de la secuencia"
Thanks Xavier. This has been fixed for the next release.
Please let me know if you spot any other errors. The Spanish translation is based on an automatic translation, so it is likely to contain more errors.
Italian translation
The original english sequence:
main menu → draw → text → special characters → others - character map
is translated as:
menu → disegna → testo → caratteri speciali → altri → mappa del PERSONAGGIO
while it should be:
menu → disegna → testo → caratteri speciali → altri → mappa DEI CARATTERI
Because the english term "character" can be translated in italian both as "carattere" (that can be both the personality of a human being AND a typographal typeface) and "personaggio" (that is ONLY a character of a novel, a theatrical show, a film, and so on). In this specific case, the correct italian translation is "carattere". More precisely, it should be translated with the plural form "caratteri" (that is: "mappa dei caratteri").
Thanks Alessandro! I will fix that for QCAD 3.7.5.
Please let me know if you spot any other error / inconsistencies. Thanks.
French translation:
Under "Divers" in main menu, all submenus are still written in English. (QCAD version 188.8.131.52 dated Oct 14 2015)
Under "Divers" in main menu, all submenus are still written in English. (QCAD version 18.104.22.168 dated Oct 14 2015)
Yes, The 'Misc' menu is for various tools and is only available in English at this point (i.e. not translated).
Please mark as translatable: "Color:", "Handle:", "Continuous"

AlexL: this should be fixed. C++ sources need to be updated from https://github.com/qcad/qcad

8. ultimatebatman (Posts: 52; Member since: 04 Dec 2012)
I live Sony phones but the big problem is that it takes them too long to get to market. The Xperia T took 5 months or more to launch after it was revealed (as the GL). The Yuga is powerful and awesome, but if Sony releases it 5 months after the Galaxy S IV, thye have a problem.
9. Omarc07 (Posts: 481; Member since: 12 Nov 2012)
It takes sony a long time to release there phones on the the states a looong time lol over here in puerto rico at&t usually gets sony phones but alll laaaatee just like in the states . But CLARO which is a company here gets every single sony phone way faster they got the xperia S, xperia acros, xperia SL, xperia J,xperia acros S etc n nmany more while at&t has what 2 xperia phones? haha i will be waiting for this phone to come out im sure at&t wont get it anytime soon while CLARO will probably get it first.
11. adjou (Posts: 106; Member since: 06 Jul 2010)
I've heard that at&t won't be getting the yuga or the odin. T-mobile is thinking about it. But at&t will be getting the Sony phablet, which is out Q4.
15. metoyou (Posts: 279; Member since: 19 Oct 2011)
hm...I expect Sony have little more design than this but I guess I have to wait to see when it's official.
Does that silver button telling it's a camera key ? :)
18. Insignificant (Posts: 192; Member since: 22 Sep 2012)
The silver button is the power button, and there is also a camera button so don't worry.
And Eldar has a track record of taking rubbish pics. Look at his pics of the Arc/T.

International Airplanes Trafficking Association
From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia
The International Airplanes Trafficking Association (IATA) is an not-for-profit, international organization based in Cuba. Its primary purpose is in stealing airplanes from airlines and hijacking passenger jets at an interest (non-profit oriented).
The IATA was originally founded in 1945 by Mr. Iosief Stalin to confiscate American airliners and sell them in Europe. To this end, the original profits involved in this operation were believed to have been transferred to Stalin himself. Declassified Soviet materials now show that nearly all of the funds were transferred to a company called "Nogaisk Vodka Manufacturing", so it is presumed that the profits were all consumed by Stalin in the form of vodkas. The original agency involved the hiring of KGB agents inside the U.S., having received special training courses on how to successfully steal a passenger jet in an airport without getting caught. After successfully stolen Harry Truman's DC-3 in 1949, Stalin decided that it's time to turn to expanding the IATA program and start stealing military jets and bomber aircraft instead. Stalin's plan was again very successful: by 1951, the IATA managed to steal a total of 1,543 passenger airliners, 693 fighter aircraft, and 393 bombers from the U.S. (half of which were sold to the United Kingdom) However, after Stalin was found dead in his apartment holding a huge tank of vodka in his arms, the IATA was shut down due to the lack of vodka demand back in Moscow. The IATA remained nonexistent for another 30 years until Mikhail Gorby came to power. After he made his famous speech in front of Politburo stating that "IATA would greatly benefit the Soviet economy, the IATA reopened and began a business of stealing and selling passenger jets all over the world to this day. The organization is currently opposed by another organization, the ICAO, an organization that is responsible for returning stolen airliners back to its original owner.
edit History
The IATA was established in 1945 after Stalin found himself addicted to vodkas. Everyday Stalin had to consume at least 300 bottles of premium vodka made exclusively in Siberia, with the aid of his super urination machine that could increase the speed in which Stalin pisses by 327% designed by his old colleague Vladimir Lenin. After 8 months of staying in this habit, the Soviet treasury began to empty out, and Stalin was very upset about it. Therefore, in order to prevent death by being hit in the head with a vodka bottle, Stalin's comrades designed a plan to fulfill Stalin's vodka addiction while still keeping the Soviet treasury running.
Their ultimate product was the IATA, an organization they designed to make enough money through stealing Boeing aircraft straight from their factories and selling them cheaply to other buyers. In order to more conveniently supervise over the stealing of airliners, the Soviets set the HQ of the organization in Havana, Cuba, a location very close of the U.S. homeland, but under control of a communist government that is pro-USSR. The IATA was found initially to be very successful at making money for Stalin, and vodka became very popular in the Soviet Union. After its reopening in 1989, the IATA became a public company selling stolen planes to anyone in the world, and slowly, the IATA became a symbol of Soviet and Russian patriotism --- "For the Stealing of American Airplanes!" became a common warcry in the USSR. In 1990 along the IATA stole 1,032 DC-9s and 194 DC-10s, eventually forcing the aircraft manufacturer McDonnell Douglas to declare bankrupt. This act made both the U.S. government and British parliament furious. "This can't happen! Gorby will never do this!" cries U.S. President Ronald Reagon. Unfortunately for Reagon, Gorby was actually enjoying the profit IATA made him through his newly built summer resort in Ukraine, a mansion he ordered for $85 million.
However, the IATA's success also came with a downside: with so much money earned from all of the Stolen airplanes, everybody in the Soviet Union begin to drink massive amounts of vodka and use Lenin's genius invention to urinate very quickly. This lead to disorder in the Eastern bloc, and with so much irremovable urinate everywhere, the Soviet economy cannot undertake the enormous pressure of handling so much urination waste, and in 1991, the USSR collapsed due to the reality that nobody in the USSR at the time was really conscious enough to make any decisions and that everyone were drunk all year long from drinking vodkas. After the collapse, the United Nations stepped in and "purified" the IATA, making it into a civil aviation authority, and started selling stolen aircraft internationally through more legal pathways (e.g. with the aid of the CIA). The IATA also began to put up airport codes and sales between different airlines to make money. The IATA today is founded by numerous airlines around the world, and operated internationally to continue to steal airliners legitimately through diplomatic means, and today the IATA is also seen commonly making advertisements for the sales of different vodka brands.

1945-1953 "Salute Comrade Stalin! We are your loyal followers we provide you with the best vodka solutions on the entire planet!" 1989-current "We pledge to sell you the cheapest airliners on the market... and on demand we steal speific aircraft just for you! So why don't you visit us at your local IATA dealership today!"
edit iStealJets program
In 2013 the IATA announced the introduction of a brand new "iStealJets" program to its markets in North America, a move most experts believed IATA made in order to increase its profit (and vodka output). This program will provide never-seen-before "how to steal planes" training courses for average lower-class Americans needing financial assistance, along with some psychopaths bored of staying in a psychiatric hospital. This crowd sourcing technique will increase the number of annual planes stolen by the IATA significantly, and along with this increase will be the number of vodka produced and purchased back in Russia. Many Russian government officials are already cheering up for this new program through public parties and celebrations, and vodka production companies have already offered special opening-day discounts and coupons to celebrate the fatting of their wallets. IATA also announced that they will be adding an iStealJets app for apple phones, where the user can easily access information from their phones on how to bypass airport security and successfully steal an airplane, taxi it, takeoff, fly it, and land it safely in Cuba.
