Lampasas is running at full speed. The Badgers have to in order to keep pace.
Despite having District 8-3A's second-best rushing offense and scoring a combined 118 points over its last two games, Lampasas is just 1-2 in its attempt to return to the playoffs.
The Badgers' problem is not a lack of firepower. Rather, Lampasas is struggling to keep its opponents out of the end zone.
After losing their district opener to Gatesville 45-27 and failing to score a point in the fourth quarter, the Badgers are scoring at will behind an explosive rushing game.
Against Brownwood, Lampasas' running backs accounted for 485 yards, including a second consecutive stellar game from senior Steven Jazdyk, en route to a 61-56 victory to snap a seven-game district losing streak.With Gary Spencer out indefinitely after injuring his leg, Jazdyk returned from a lengthy absence to rush for 298 yards and four touchdowns in a 58-57 overtime loss at Llano.
Jazdyk carried the ball 28 times for 296 yards and six touchdowns against the Lions, but it still took a go-ahead touchdown pass from Collin Bowen to Cale Walker with 39 seconds remaining to pull out the victory.
In addition to the game-winning score, Walker ran for 112 yards and two touchdowns on the heels of rushing for 194 yards and a pair of scores against the Yellowjackets.
With their playoff fate still up in the air, the Badgers need to begin producing stops in order to secure a berth for the first time since 2011.
Lampasas' lack of defense could prove detrimental once again as it will be challenged to stop district leader Liberty Hill and its rushing game averaging 349.4 yards per game.
Injuries force Gatesville's Jones in
The Gatesville coaches did not ask Andraque Jones to do anything he was not wanting to do already.
The Hornets' junior athlete filled in for injured running backs Jake Kee and Tariq Miller, rushing for 83 yards and two touchdowns on 19 carries, mostly out of a wildcat formation.
"Missing Jake Kee and Tariq, that's a big part of our offense and they asked me to step up and fill in a role, so I took responsibility for it," Jones said.
Jones also had an interception on defense that led to his first touchdown, and two receptions for 41 yards in the Hornets' 37-25 loss to Llano.
While the Hornets hope to have Kee back for their game this week against Brownwood, Jones will continue to receive carries, Gatesville coach Kyle Cooper said.
"Andraque's, he's taken a couple of snaps back there, repped through practice, even earlier in the year, and just weeks maybe we just didn't go to it," Cooper said. "Andraque, he'll continue to do that no matter what the outcome."

Bees make most out of passes
Academy only attempted seven passes against Salado on Friday, but the Bumblebees made the most out of them.
Quarterback Malik Jackson completed 6 of his 7 attempts, and half of his completions went for touchdowns, all to Phillip Redwine, in the Bumblebees' 28-14 win at home.
Jackson passed for 150 yards and hooked up with Redwine for scores of 6, 66 and 25 yards.
Jackson also accounted for the Bumblebees' fourth score on an interception he returned 68 yards for a touchdown.
Salado, meanwhile, totaled 302 yards of offense, but only scored 14 points after entering the game averaging 34.
Eagle running back Ryan Simmons impressed again with 107 yards, but the Bumblebees were able to contain quarterback McLane Carter to a degree, as he was 22 of 36 for 192 yards and two interceptions.
The loss was a significant blow to the Eagles' playoff hopes as they now sit two games behind three teams tied for third place with two games remaining in the regular season.

Buffs offense struggles
Friday night went down as another chapter in the Buffaloes' incredibly rough season.
Florence (1-7, 0-5 District 13-2A) amassed only 15 yards of total offense and no first downs in a 42-0 loss to Lago Vista at Stampede Stadium.
The Vikings (5-3, 3-2) entered halftime with a 28-0 lead, tripping the Buffs early.
Florence averages just 191.8 offensive yards per game, and gives up an average of 421.6 yards to opponents.
The Buffaloes, a young team, are rebuilding for next season.
Lago Vista surpassed its average pace of 304.88 rushing yards per game, accruing 319 at Florence.
— Brian Bradley
- McGregor (7-1, 4-1 13-2A, Div. I) at Florence (1-7, 0-5), 7:30 p.m. Friday: The Bulldogs head to Florence after beating the Buffs 45-0 last year, and 50-14 in 2011.
- Lago Vista (5-3, 3-2 in 13-2A, Div. I) at Salado (1-7, 1-4), 7:30 p.m. Friday: This is the first of two must-win games for Salado, which must win out and get help to reach the postseason.
- Lampasas (3-5, 1-2 8-5A) at Liberty Hill (7-1, 3-0): In a matchup between the two most potent rushing offenses in the district, the Badgers' playoff hopes will take a major swing in either direction based on the outcome.
- Gatesville (3-5, 1-2 8-3A) at Brownwood (3-5, 1-2), 7:30 p.m. Friday: Gatesville and Brownwood met last year with the District 8-3A championship all but riding on the outcome. This year, the two teams, two of four tied for third in the district standings, meet with their playoff lives on the line and two-game losing streaks in tow. The Hornets, who defeated Brownwood 35-14 last year to win their first district championship since 2003, lost to Llano 35-27 on Friday while the Lions, a perennial power, lost 61-56 to Lampasas.
- 25 — Consecutive points Llano scored in the first half of its 37-25 win over Gatesville.
- 18 — Combined points by which Lampasas has been outscored during the first half of its district games.
- 6 — Weeks since Florence's last win.
- 4 — Touchdowns accounted for by Academy quarterback Malik Jackson in a 28-14 win against Salado.
- 0.23 — Yards per carry for Florence in Friday's loss to Lago Vista.

WINNIE, Texas - A pickup truck pulling a trailer hit a truck with two children inside of it.
According to officials, around 4 p.m. Wednesday a Hamshire-Fannett School bus was stopped on state Highway 73 near Englin Road dropping students off at their homes.
The driver of a Dodge truck, 44-year-old Glen Luckey, lost control of his vehicle towing a trailer and hit siblings as they stood near their driveway, officials said.
Luckey says he did not see the stopped school bus.
The children were pinned underneath the truck and trailer.
Officials said the 13-year-old girl and 14-year-old boy were then taken to Hermann Memorial Hospital with serious injuries. They are expected to recover.

One of the things I hear a lot, from a lot of people, is this: I wish I had more money. The wish for money is almost universal — no matter how much you have right now. Even many of the wealthy wish that they had more money.
Many think that having more money is one of the keys to greater life satisfaction. While having more money can help you achieve a little more happiness (especially if you make less than $75,000 a year), the reality is that more money isn't going to better your financial situation, or improve your level of happiness, if you don't know what you're going to do with it. Indeed, if you don't have a plan for your money, you can end up in financial trouble no matter how much you make each year.
Pinpoint Your Money Motivations
Rather than just thinking that more money would be nice, think about why you want more money. You need to figure out your motivations. For some people, this relatively easy. If you are having a hard time making ends meet, you probably want more money so that you can pay the bills. If you are drowning in debt, more money can help you pay it off.
Money represents security and financial freedom in these cases. Chances are that when you do get more money, you know exactly where it should go. It goes toward paying down your obligations and toward paying the bills.
Things get a little fuzzier when you have more financial freedom. When you have moved beyond day-to-day survival mode, it becomes a little harder to pinpoint your money motivations. Honestly evaluate the situation. Do you want more money so that you can save more for your future retirement? Do you want more money so you can buy the material status symbols that our society often associates with wealth?
Look at what you're interested in so that you can figure out what you will actually do with the money. Creating a plan for your money is important if you want to avoid the pitfalls that come with poor financial management.
Planning Your Finances
Without a plan for your money, there's a good chance that you will just spend it on whatever comes your way — even if that expenditure represents something that isn't important to you. A plan can prevent that. You need to figure out what's most important to you, and what you want to accomplish with your money, and then bring your financial actions in line with that.
Some people like to use a zero-based budget to make this happen, giving every dollar a job. Since I am on a variable income, and my pay schedule is never the same each month (few of my clients pay on the same day each month), my cash flow is a little out of whack, so I don't use zero-based budgeting. However, I still make it a point to plan my finances. I make sure that money is automatically transferred to accounts meant for retirement, emergency fund, and quarterly taxes. I pay my tithing and donate to a local charity. All the bills and necessary expenses (insurance, utilities, mortgage, groceries, etc.) are paid. Then I focus on short-term goals like travel. With anything left over, my husband and get whatever else we want/need, such as clothes, eating out, and entertainment.
This is a system that works well for us. Sometimes I wish I had a little more money, but that's usually during times when clients are paying late and I have to do a little footwork for the cash flow. Most of the time, I'm happy with where we're at, and what we accomplish with our money.
Do you wish you had more money? Why or why not?

Before you can even begin to pack your household goods into their huge container boxes, you need to search the net for a checklist on household items that you can actually bring into Australia without any problem. Like it or not, there are some household items and personal effects that are considered illegal to bring into Australia.
Having this checklist also serves another purpose. When packing your stuff, eventually you'll need to hire a shipping company to transport them, bring them into the port and clear them through customs to get them ready to be transported to their new country of destination. The thing is, there are many types of container sizes and prices to choose from. Each carries a different value and it's up to you to decide which one is more cost-effective. For instance, if you have less than 15 cbm (cubic meters-the standard for freight) worth of household items and goods, then it's more cost-effective for you to use the LCL Cargo. LCL Cargo means Less than a Container or more commonly known as "Share a Container" service. If you have more than 15cbm but less than 30cbm, then a 1 x 20ft container is your next best choice. Pricing for different container sizes will depend on the shipping company that you hire.
Normally, when you're shipping to Australia, you need to pay for your personal goods in cash at the Port of Departure. This only ensures that you've paid the necessary fees and taxes and the government of your country of origin has approved the transfer of goods. If for some unexplained reason, there is a problem with your payment, when your goods have reached Australia, the Port of Arrival won't be able to immediately release your property until such time that the payment is met. If after the appointed time, you still haven't managed to produce the payment, the Port has the right to auction your cargo.
Once your possessions have arrived in Australia, they don't get immediately delivered "door-to-door". In fact, they will still be at the mercy of the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service. This is where your shipping or box shipping company comes in handy. They will be representing you in their dealings with the Australian Port authorities. With your payment for their services, they will be your credit referee (credit ratings are important in Australia, your customs agent, clearing the way for you to get your goods at the soonest possible time.
Most websites on Australian shipping mention having to pay A$2,600 plus GST per 20 foot container security deposit. This security deposit covers little details like payment for getting the container off the ship and onto the wharf, getting a bond on the goods for inspection, unpacking quarantine inspection and putting the empty cargo container and into the container park.
Reading about Australian shipping seems like a complicated process and it is. If you don't know what you're doing, it would be more prudent to let the professionals handle it, even if you are shipping boxes to Australia.

No, my son's son also resides the same house, when she cares for him four days a week. Besides, her mother a visitor from China is also resides at the house.
No, she did not give me son's key yesterday when my son tried to enter and she said she could not find the new key. Only after my son alerted police today, she gave the key to the police office when the police warmed her it is illegal to change the lock of my son's sole property.
As I said before, their marriage is basically broken and leads to a divoice. My son is present living with us as temperally arrangment. Thanks.
The eviction is never in the picture, as I said my son would let her and her mother stay until the divoice being settled. If her action is illegal, is there no any consequence? warning or record? Thanks.
I have rated your answer as excellent already.
However, since you mentioned about the police probably would warned her do not do this again. It was actually her second time doing thing illegal. A few weeks ago, she also illegal changed the mail box lock with her lie to post office about losing the key. My son has their only mail box key. However my did not report to police about the case.

The Second Civil War was fought over reproductive rights. The chilling resolution: Life is inviolable from the moment of conception until age thirteen. Between the ages of thirteen and eighteen, however, parents can have their child "unwound," whereby all of the child's organs are transplanted into different donors, so life doesn't technically end. Connor is too difficult for his parents to control. Risa, a ward of the state is not enough to be kept alive. And Lev is a tithe, a child conceived and raised to be unwound.

Madonna has apparently mad at husband Guy Richie after he was caught out partying while she was visiting Malawi.
It seems that Madonna and husband Guy Ritchie have quite different ideas on how to spend their time beyond their hectic schedules. While the pop queen was in Malawi with daughter Lourdes and adopted son David Banda, the hunk spent his time partying at trendy Mayfair bar Mahiki, where he reportedly dancing intimately with a mystery brunette.
Rumor has it Madonna obviously mad that Guy was out on the town in London while she dutifully went on her journey to adopted baby David's hometown in Malawi.
"Guy seemed a bit solemn at first. He seemed determined to drown his sorrows as the drinks flowed. Then he hit the dance floor and spotted a leggy brunette. They seemed to just click together. When they got talking they began dancing closely. They didn't leave together but got very close on the dance floor," British newspaper The Daily Record quoted an onlooker as saying.
Meanwhile, it is reported that Madonna already jetted out of Malawi on Sunday April 22nd after a six-day visit to the impoverished homeland of David. Now that she's home, what would she do with her hubby? We'll keep you posted with more.

Idaho leads world in "Fat Pill" production
(Aug 25, 2006)
Boise, ID – Shh, shut up, gather 'round, listen up girl friends. If the
U.S. government applied the same rules to the potato industry that they do
to the tobacco industry, the label on a sack of Idaho's Russets would read,
"Caution: This product is hazardous to your
health. Known to cause huge insulin increases resulting in death from high
cholesterol, arteriosclerosis, diabetes, and heart attack."
Of course, as a Libertarian, I am not suggesting the government add the
above label to Idaho's "Famous Potatoes." In fact, for individual rights,
free market, and the Trophoblast Theory of Cancer reasons too lengthy to go
into here, the government should remove their caution labels from tobacco.
(Note: For example, Superman (the actor's) wife, who never smoked a day in
her life, died of lung cancer last year. If she, a non-smoker, died
of lung cancer without smoking, how does one prove that smokers who
died of lung cancer didn't die of the same "mysterious" cancer trigger that
she died from instead of from tobacco? See Prof John Beard's work in
Embryology, Edinburgh University, circa 1900, which shows that unless a
diploid totipotent cell already exists at the cancer site (some 28% miss
their naturally-targeted gonads during fetus development), it is
biologically impossible for tobacco (or ultraviolet light or asbestos) to
"trigger" the meiotic meiosis cell reduction to the trophoblast level.

digress. Back to the scene of the crime: heart attacks, diabetes,
arteriosclerosis, and obesity caused by a high-carb, low-fat, low-protein
In the NY Times bestseller, Protein Power, by Drs. Michael and Mary
Eades who have treated thousands of patients, they say in their chapter
titled "Cholesterol Madness:"
America people have become accustomed to thinking of cholesterol as an evil
destroyer of health. The average American is not even sure what cholesterol
is exactly; only that it's "fat in your blood" and "it's dangerous." In
fact, nothing could be further from the truth: cholesterol is absolutely
essential for life, and falling levels of cholesterol are a grave sign,
often a marker for cancer.
Cholesterol isn't even really a fat; it's a pearly white waxy alcohol with a
soapy feel. Every cell in your body requires cholesterol to maintain the
structural integrity of its cell membrane, to control the flow of water and
nutrients into the cell and waste products out. Your nerves and your brain
require cholesterol for normal electrical signal transmission.
Your body
uses the cholesterol molecule as a building block for many important
hormones: the sex hormones (estrogen and testosterone) and your body's
natural steroid, hydrocortisol.
Cholesterol in the bile your liver makes, aids in the digestion of fatty
food and helps you absorb fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K from food.
Cholesterol gives your skin the ability to shed water.
Every cell
in your body can make it. In fact, only about 20 percent of the cholesterol
in your blood comes from your diet. Your body (primarily your liver) makes
the vast majority (80 percent). To ensure your cells always have plenty, if
there's not enough coming in, the cells pick up the slack and make more.
That's why simply cutting back on dietary cholesterol often doesn't cause
much of an improvement in blood cholesterol levels.
standard low-fat diet approach to treating cholesterol actually causes the
cells of your body to have to make more cholesterol for vital functions.
Control over how much the cells make lies within the cells themselves. When
the supply in the cell runs low, the cell can either make more cholesterol
or send messengers to the surface of the cell to collect some from the
plays a key role here: it revs up the cells' cholesterol-manufacturing
machinery, building up a surplus within the cell, making it unnecessary for
the cell to retrieve any from the bloodstream, and thereby allowing excess
cholesterol to build up in the blood.
By eating
a diet that reduces insulin levels (high protein, low carbohydrate), you
reduce the signal telling the cells to make cholesterol; they must harvest
it from the blood to have enough, and your blood cholesterol levels –
especially the "bad" LDL – fall rapidly. Even while eating a diet that
contains red meat, egg yolk, cheese, butter, and cream, as long as you
control your insulin output, your cholesterol will remain in the healthy
180-200 mg/dl range with the LDL/HDL ratio under 3. And the extra dietary
fat will actually raise the HDL – "good" cholesterol – level in your blood."
For 700,000 years before the Egyptians, humans evolved eating a diet high in
protein: meat, nuts, berries, and fat. When farming was discovered and
humans switched to an agricultural diet high in carbohydrates – wheat,
barley, potatoes, carrots, corn, sugar, raisins, bread – our insulin
sky-rocketed and our health plummeted.
As Drs. Michael and Mary Eades state in their chapter, "Overcoming the
Curse of the Mummies:"
nutritional wisdom would predict that the diet of the ancient Egyptians –
high in complex carbohydrates, low in fat, no refined sugar, almost no red
meat – should have brought health, fitness, and longevity to the Egyptians
of old. But it didn't.
Translations of the ancient Egyptian papyrus writings and modern examination
of their mummified remains by pathologists tell us quite a different tale.
The evidence speaks of a people afflicted with rotten teeth and severe
atherosclerosis, suffering from elevated blood pressure and dying in their
thirties with heart attacks. And contrary to the paintings of the willowy
svelte figures in pleated linen that adorned their tomb walls, the large
skin folds of the mummies tell us that their ancient low-fat,
high-carbohydrate diet left them obese as well."
If this indictment of today's prevailing – and erroneous -- nutritional
advice to eat a diet of low-fat and high-carbohydrate wasn't bad enough, the
medical and pharmaceutical industries are now pushing chemicals that
interfere with the body's natural and necessary production of cholesterol in
the cell. After failing to bring your insulin-induced high cholesterol
level down with bad nutritional advice, many doctors then place their
patients on drugs such as Lipitor that interfere with the statins, which
participate in the cell's normal production of cholesterol. This does not
solve the initial problem – which was eating too many carbohydrates -- and
will cause other new problems. But it sells a lot of pills. Billions of
dollars worth per year.
The problem is: excess carbohydrates increases blood sugar, which increases
excess insulin, which triggers excess cholesterol and the storage cycle
leading to fat accumulation and smooth muscle that hardens the linings of
the arteries, and therein lies the problem. The simple solution is: stop
eating a diet high in carbohydrates and low in fat and protein. Beef: it's
what's for dinner. And eggs, chicken, fish, nuts, berries, cheese, butter,
and green leafy veggies and broccoli. Cut the grains, white bread, carrots,
potatoes, pizza, cakes, cookies, doughnuts, sugar, and Twinkies. Watch your
cholesterol drop in half within two weeks.
How long have we known about this? In 1825, the Frenchman Jean-Anthelme
Brillat-Savarin published an essay entitled "Preventative or Curative
Treatment of Obesity" in his book The Physiology of Taste in
which he stated: "Now, an anti-fat
Diet is based on the commonest and most active cause of obesity, since, as
it has already been clearly shown, it is only because of grains and starches
that fatty congestion can occur, as much in a man as in the animals:…"
Hey, what do we feed cattle to bring them to market? Corn. Grains. In
1862, William Banting, a London undertaker, was so obese he couldn't walk
down the stairs or tie his shoestrings. After going on his
doctor-recommended diet of low carbs and high protein, he lost a pound a
week until he reached his normal weight, was able to walk and easily bend
over, and was so excited that he published 2,500 copies of his Letter on
Corpulence, describing his diet. He lived until age 81 and his diet
plan was so widely read that dieting itself became known as "banting." In
1931, Vance Thompson published a low-carb book called Eat and Grow Thin,
which went through 112 printings.
Unfortunately, since 1988 when America's Surgeon General pushed the U.S.
program of low-fat and high-carb nutrition, the medical and food industry
raced toward zero-fat everything. The result: increased high blood
pressure, arteriosclerosis, diabetes and heart attacks, even in young
children. There is no excuse for doctors to not know this important
information. Hopefully, more medical nutritionists will read Drs. Michael
and Mary Eades' bibliographies in their book, Protein Power.
This brings us to Idaho, which recently hosted the World Potato Congress.
Since Idaho is the leading producer of potatoes in the world (high
carbohydrates), and the average American's deadly diet consists of a high
dose of carbohydrates relative to protein and fat, perhaps Idaho's state
motto should change from "Famous Potatoes" to "Famous Heart Attacks R Us." –

The Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle/Jiralhanae Variant, more commonly known as the Brute Plasma Rifle, and known to the Jiralhanae as the blood-hand,[3] is a Covenant infantry firearm, and is a modified version of the original Plasma Rifle used almost exclusively by Jiralhanae.
Design DetailsEdit
The Brute Plasma Rifle is a Covenant directed energy weapon that uses a superheated ionized gas called plasma instead of projectile ammunition. The weapon has a power output of 100−150 kV at 0.2–0.3 A (20–45 kW), and can fire 360–540 rounds per minute. Unlike the Plasma Pistol, the plasma rifle is capable of fully-automatic fire, thanks in part to its dual plasma collimator design. Placed atop one another, these collimators fire in a staggered pattern, taking the slow automatic fire of each individual collimator and combining them to allow a faster rate of fire. The Type-25 DER/J is considerably different than its Sangheili-issued counterpart. Unlike standard plasma rifles, the Jiralhanae variant fires a weaker bolt, identified by the bolts' red hue. The weapon compensates for this weakness with a higher rate of fire, as well as achieving better penetration and stronger kinetic impact than its Sangheili-issued counterpart. The only visual differences between the two weapons is that the Jiralhanae variant has a red casing. The top half of the Brute Plasma Rifle is also longer towards the back end than its Sangheili counterpart, which allows for a more comfortable grip by Brutes. So far, this variant has only been found in the hands of the Brutes and a small number of other Covenant species (such as the Drones) who work directly with them. Even now the weapon has only been sighted since the Brutes have begun a return to front-line combat.[2]
Against infantry, the lethality of the Jiralhanae Variant of the Type-25 DER is considerably increased over the standard model due to its higher rate of fire at close range. Injuries inflicted to a victim are severe third-degree burns, though this type of injury causes the wound to be cauterized instantly. Body fluids would be subjected to flash vaporization, inducing a strain or a shock on the body, and fluids trapped in organs or arteries subjected to rapid expansion from the heat could cause ruptures and additional damage to the target. Near misses can also cause injury, as they produce severe burns to nearby areas. This can also cause trauma or heat stroke due to the extreme temperatures of the plasma bolt. Should the plasma impact an object, the impact can cause splash damage creating debris that may come into contact with a target, with a crippling or lethal effect. Generally, two hits from either a Plasma Pistol or Plasma Rifle will kill a light or non-armored target. Like its counterpart, over-extended periods of firing can overheat the weapon, causing it to become unusable for a short period of time.
The Type-25 DER/J is a close to medium range weapon, and as such can inflict very high damage at short range. The Jiralhanae variant is benefits from a higher rate of fire, doubling the rifle's efficiency - this higher discharge rate allows for higher velocity, increasing the kinetic impact. The Type-25 DER/J can easily kill lightly- or unarmored targets with two strikes, while against heavily armored targets the Type-25 Jiralhanae Variant can inflict double the damage of the standard Type-25 DER. Sufficient numbers of infantry equipped with Type-25 Rifles can halt an enemy advance with its ability to deliver suppressive fire. This tactic is also reflected in the Covenant's combat doctrine: destroy enemy morale with harassing fire and exposure to the alien-ness of their infantry. SPARTAN-IIs can dual-wield plasma rifles, doubling their efficiency in close quarter combat situations. The plasma rifle's high-velocity bolt coupled with its kinetic impact can temporarily stun even a SPARTAN-II.
The Type-25 DER/J is even more prone to overheating than its standard counterpart after expending four percent of its battery[4] because of the rapid cycling, loading, ignition, and release phases; to prevent the weapon from being damaged, the Type-25 DER temporarily shuts down and opens heating vents to allow the excess heat to dissipate before the weapon reactivates. When compared, a single bolt from the Jiralhanae variant of the Type-25 DER is considerably weaker than a bolt from the Sangheili version, this is because in order to achieve a higher rate of fire the temperature of the plasma must be reduced in order to achieve a higher discharge rate without overheating the weapon after a few shots. At 10% charge level, the plasma rifle will begin to misfire, perhaps is due to the battery's inability to deliver enough energy to start and complete the ignition and release phase of operation, hampering the operator's use of the weapon. Human military experts and scientists do not understand how Covenant plasma weapons work, or how they are recharged; as such, when the battery is depleted, the rifle must be discarded or replaced.
The Type-25 DER/J is not suited for long range combat, due to several distinct properties of the weapons operation. The first is the rate of thermal expansion which is determined by the rate of the bloom of the bolt, blooming is the result of plasma breakdown in the air at energy densities of around a megajoule per cubic centimeter. This effect causes the plasma to defocus and disperse energy into the atmosphere. It can be more severe if there is fog, smoke, or dust in the air. As the bolt is accelerated away from the "barrel" of the weapon the plasma begins to decay as a result of the weakening magnetic field. Speed also factors in to this, the faster the bolt is accelerated, the farther the bolt will travel before the temperature of plasma begins to decay and the magnetic field becomes unstable and finally dissipates. As the bolt loses velocity it also loses kinetic damage as it travels longer distances.
Changes from Halo 2 to Halo 3: ODSTEdit
- Rate of fire decreased.
Changes from Halo 3: ODST to Halo 5: GuardiansEdit
- Rate of fire increased.
- Capacity decreased; now drains 1% of the battery every 2 shots compared to 4 shots for 1% in previous games.
- In Halo 2, when facing multiple foes, Dual-Wielding two Brute Plasma Rifles can be a key tactic to winning, especially on Legendary difficulty. Pulling one trigger and then pulling the other one a split second later will result in a storm of plasma bolts that can cut down enemy formations quickly. This can also help when facing the Flood. The downside to this is that the rifles will overheat fairly quickly, leaving you vulnerable to open fire.
- A way to overcome the fast overheating issue is to fire one rifle until it overheats and then the other. Firing both in bursts can also prevent overheating and maintain accuracy.
- Dual-wielding the Brute Plasma Rifle with a standard Plasma Rifle is another good tactic. The Brute Plasma Rifle will overheat faster and by the time the Elite Plasma Rifle has overheated, the Brute Plasma Rifle will be ready to fire again. This can be useful when facing large quantities of Flood. Note however, that this tactic will drain a lot of power.
- In Halo 3: ODST, Brute Plasma Rifles are an excellent way of draining a Brute's shield quickly and when coupled with a Magnum or Covenant Carbine, make way for an easy headshot and quick kill. They are also useful at draining the shields of a Jackal or Drone.
Multiplayer and FirefightEdit
- Both Plasma Rifles strip shields better than damaging flesh and armor (and thus, are not as good at eliminating the Halo 2 Brutes as, say, the Battle Rifle), their true value lies in their rate of fire and their ability to stun opponents. In ODST, this ability to take down shields is even more effective, as they can remove a Brute's Energy Shields in a matter of seconds. The Brute Plasma Rifle is also effective against swarms of Drones.
- A third tactic is the infamous "noob combo." Instead of using the Plasma Pistol and a human weapon, dual wield a Brute Plasma Rifle and a human SMG. This is one of the most powerful combos and can defeat even an Energy Sword wielder. The only disadvantage is that only works at mid-range, and you need some very good aim because if you fail to aim properly, you may be left with an overheated Plasma Rifle and an empty SMG. In order to combat the lack of SMG's in levels with the Brute Plasma Rifle, try Dual Wielding a Needler with it as well, as these weapons are normally in huge supply on such levels. Also with this way a good aim isn't a necessity as the needles home in on enemies and damage or kill them with the least amount of ammo needed.
- The Brute Plasma Rifle and the Sentinel Beam are the only weapons in Halo 2 not shown in its instruction manual.
- The Brute Plasma Rifle is the only known Brute weapon without blades for close-quarters combat.
- In Halo 5: Guardians's Anvil's Legacy update, there is an unusual texture glitch for the Brute Plasma Rifle by doing the Weapon Pad REQ Glitch with a "Mythic" REQ. The texture is blue and doesn't apply to the model correctly.

As a librarian, I of all people should know better than to judge a book by its cover. But I do – all the time. In honor of Halloween, here are three books with covers I find sufficiently creepy:
Living Dead Girl by Elizabeth Scott Details 15-year-old Alice's five-year ordeal of abuse and control at the hands of her kidnapper, who now demands she find the next girl for his collection if she wants to be released. Another librarian described it as "deeply disturbing," and this cover is not far off the mark.
Through to You by Emily Hainsworth In this upcoming book, former football star Cam grieves for his girlfriend (killed in a car crash), and is pulled into an alternate reality where the accident had a much different outcome. Interesting plot, but I'm far more intrigued by the haunting cover image.
The Blessed by Tonya Hurley In Brooklyn, three very different girls (each named after a martyred young saint) are drawn together in an emergency room on Halloween and forced into an epic battle against evil. I'm inexplicably freaked out by the cover girl's watery, puffy eyes.

San Juan, Puerto Rico — A suspended priest of the diocese of Caguas, Puerto Rico, was arrested Tuesday by federal authorities for allegedly transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity and sexual trafficking of minors.
Fr. Israel Berrios, 58, was arrested at his home in Naranjito without incident, according to a press release Wednesday by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement's Homeland Security Investigations unit, which conducted the investigation.
The Associated Press reported that Berrios has been accused of sexually abusing an altar boy from the time he was about 8 until he turned 17, according to Puerto Rico Justice Secretary Cesar Miranda.
If found guilty, he could face at least 10 years in prison, and as much as a life sentence if convicted on all charges.
In a statement Wednesday released to Catholic News Service in Washington, Bishop Ruben Gonzalez Medina of Caguas called the abuse of a minor "unjustifiable, intolerable, reprehensible" and a criminal act that "cannot, in any way, go unpunished."
We refreshed our website! Drop us a line at email@example.com to tell us what you think. We value your feedback.
He asked for forgiveness "especially from the youth involved" and his family and from "all those who in one way or another have been affected by the actions that led to the arrest and imprisonment" of Berrios. He urged others who may be victims of abuse to come forward.
Gonzalez said he suspended Berrios last year when the allegations first surfaced and followed the protocols established by the Puerto Rican Episcopal Conference. He said the Caguas diocese has fully cooperated with the criminal investigation and the case "has been elevated to Rome" to begin the process for Berrios' laicization by the Vatican.
The bishop urged Catholics to pray that "justice and mercy can heal the deep wounds" of "this painful situation."
Until his suspension, Berrios was pastor of St. Andrew the Apostle Parish in Barranquitas. He also served as a diocesan consultor, a member of the priests' senate, and was on the diocese's vocations team.
According to the ICE indictment, from 2007 through 2008, Berrios allegedly transported the minor to his Naranjito home in an automobile owned by the San Jose Parish in Aibonito to engage in a commercial sex act.
The indictment further alleges that in July 2008, Berrios transported the minor to Miami, where together they took a four-day cruise to the Bahamas for the purposes of engaging in a commercial sex act.
The minor in question is now a 21-year-old university student, according to AP.
The investigation is part of Operation Predator, an international initiative to protect children from sexual predators. Since its launch in 2003, more than 10,000 people have been arrested for crimes against children, including the production and distribution of online child pornography, traveling overseas for sex with minors, and sex trafficking of children. In fiscal year 2013, more than 2,000 individuals were arrested under this initiative.
AP reported that local prosecutors are investigating at least 17 other priests from eight dioceses facing similar allegations.
Prosecutors have already charged one of six former priests from the diocese of Arecibo with committing lewd acts. Edwin Antonio Mercado was scheduled to appear in court in late May.
The Puerto Rico Supreme Court agreed to hear a case involving the Arecibo diocese and the Puerto Rico Department of Justice's effort to obtain confidential documents related to the probe. Diocesan officials argue they have already provided sufficient information and seek to protect the identity of those who made the allegations.

The Epic Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But: Norwegian Epic Cruise Review by lawgirl
Overall Member Rating
The Epic Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing But
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Miami
Embarkation and debarkation was a breeze. However, from there we experienced some pros and many cons. Others on the cruise (many of which were die-hard NCL fans) did not really enjoy the Epic experience.
1. Entertainment: Although it is not the traditional "Song and Dance Extravaganza" on most lines, we really enjoyed all the entertainmnet. This was definitley the highlight of the cruise.
For those worried about pre-booking, we booked most things ahead, but there were plenty of seats (even for Cirque) if you went asap when you boarded to the entertainment booking area - deck 6 I believe.
Blue Man - I am not smart enough (?) to get Blue Man, but it was fun and hey, it was free!!!
Cirque: Very good - everyone complains on the boards about the food - I thought food was very good. Plus, the entertaiment More is great. Spring for the premium seats and go early - 45 minutes before show - to get best seats. Lines start early. DH was part of the show, so that was fun! He was the bell ringer! Lots of audience participation.
Legends: We just saw this in Myrtle and frankly, this show was just as good (just shorter). Much fun!!!! We liked Elvis the best, but Madonna and Tina were good too!
Second City : Again, funny and good!
Howl at the Moon: We went multiple nights - I loved this venue!!! The singerrs aren't great, but they literally know ANY song and the crowd gets into it - super fun!
Other bars: There are many options every night - Bernie Martini (standards) is very good as are all the artisits at Fat Cats (blues). There was even a guy in the middle of the ship near one bar with just his guitar who was great. If you dine in the MDR, I liked Manhatttan better because of the band - Bernie Martini played one night which was really fun!
Overall, the entertainment is very good and by far the best part of the ship.
2. A few good cabin ideas - like magnets to keep curtain to balcony closed, lots of storage, nice reading lamps. OUr stweard, Patrick (cabin 8155 - more on that cabin later) was so nice and did a great job! Also, our room was quiet - hardly heard anything.
3. Service, in general, was quite good.
4. There are lots and lots of activities which is good. However, no library or game room, which we do enjoy.
5. The decor of the ship - especially public areas on 5, 6, 7, were really lovely and neat decor. The chandalier was beautiful.
1. Cabins are unbelievably, incredibly, annoyingly small. I cannot describe adequately how small they are!!!!! By far the smallest I have ever seen. We had a standard balcony room # 8155 (be warned, this cabin has an uncovered balcony). There is literally about one foot or less at the end of the "curved" (which means too short to lay on) bed - you have no room at all. If you are thinking of more than two people in the room, think twice. Even for two it was so tiny. One of us had to stay on the bed while the other dressed. The curved rooms takes up alot of useless space - who can sit on a curved couch? And the bathrooms are every bit as annoying as set forth in all the threads. The sink especially. The shower was not too bad. Toilet area was tiny as well.
One guy who was in his cabin with two kids and his wife joked that it was his daughters' birthday and they were going to fill the cabin with balloons - which would take 2 balloons. Not one person said anything good about the size of the cabins or the layout or the bath area.
IMO, NCL really messed up with the cabins - if the cabin had been even a normal size, it would have really made a difference. But I KNOW from comments, that because of the puny cabins, many won't cruise on Epic again - without repeat cruisers, eventually NCL will have a big ship with half empty small cabins, instead of a fuller ship with slightly larger rooms - even one foot wider and two feet longer would have really helped (there was planty of space to take a foot at least off the balcaony and add it to the room). And, if you are listening NCL - there is a reason none of us curve our rooms in our houses - IT IS STUPID!
2. Crowds and more crowds! Be prepared to get frustrated in the Garden Cafe - no tables and lots of people! The pool area/pools are very crowded - the adult pool is the size of a large hot tub and therefore is about 90 degrees - crowded and hot (and why are they showing wild animals fighting and killing each other on the big movie screen at the adult pool - just a question)
3. Deck 15 - What were you thinking????? OK - they shoved about every possible thing you would want to do on a sea day on ONE DECK! Here it is: Garden Cafe Buffett, outdoor eating venue, entrance to Italian restaurant, multiple rock walls, 4 ping pong tables, outdoor casino, outdoor shopping kiosks/area, kids water park, adult/kids water slides, several bars, the only two general pubic pools, bandstand, hot tubs, adult pool/nightclub area. Yes, that is all on ONE DECK - one very, very crowded deck with dangerously slippery floors because of the slides - and no good way to get around because the kids water park is in the center walkway.
4. Smoke everywhere because of the casino - you havd to walk through it to get places and even if you go one floor up, they failed to put a ceiling on the casino - so the smoke floats up to all the public areas in the floor above.
5. NCL is desperate for money - clearly this must be the case since you are up-charged for everything. After a few days, my DH thought they would have panhandlers in the halls.
6. Which leads to very mediocre food - especially in the MDR - Clearly a ploy to get you to spend, spend, spend in the specialty restaurants. Most of these were mediocre as well. Cagney's is not good - certainly it is no where near Chops on RCI or the speciality restaurants on Celebrity. La Cucuina was OK - average Italian fare. Moderno was actually the best one. It was worth the extra money.
NCL (at least the Epic) seemed to me to be for those who don't really like traditional cruising. It is far, far more casual than other lines, with no special events (like Captains' party or loyalty parties), very casual dress with no formal nights (shorts in dining areas on the "formal" nights????) , and basically, harder in a way to make friends given that you sit with only your party most nights.
In sum, if you don't mind small cabins, extra charges, very casual dress and crowds, but you like activities, choices and entertainment, this may be your ship. If, like me, you like to dress up, eat fine food, have traditional seating and have a nice cabin, this is definitley not your cup of tea.
This is just my impression. I truly did enjoy the cruise (because who wouldn't enjoy a cruise????) especially the entertainment. But, it is back to RCI for us. Thanks. Less

When planning for honey moon vacation in Africa, Uganda has to be your first priority and after your vacation you will get the meaning of Uganda being called the "pearl of Africa". Uganda has got variety of wildlife, great primates like the endangered mountain gorillas, chimpanzees, golden monkeys among other primates, the unforgettable waterfalls, hospitable Ugandans and their cultural aspects.
My husband and I were 2 out of the 8 Americans who were on this 2 week adventure to Murchison Falls and Bwindi. I can honestly say that Uganda is my favorite countries out of the three that we visited (Uganda, Kenya and Tanzania). Of course we had vehicle trouble but the people of Uganda made it so much fun. We had vehicle trouble in the other 2 countries as well. But remember people, we were in Africa! No freeways and no paved back roads. I hope they don't get paved roads to Bwindi or Murchison as well as the Serengeti. Then it will be more like Yellowstone. The thought of Africa turning into a Yellowstone, Zion, or Yosemite is disheartening. Anyhow…… Willy was wonderful. Anytime we wanted to stop (remember a group of 8) he would pull over and let us get out seeing the elephants, the hippos, the crocodiles, and even a bush pit call. His knowledge is amazing and he was just wonderful person to spend time with. If you get Willy for a guide you must ask about Uganda in general and he will get you all the information about the pearl of Africa.
If you are entertaining a trip to Africa I highly recommend Active African Vacations. And remember you are going to Africa a developing continent. Take you spirit of adventure and no expectations and you will be utterly delighted.
We had a perfect time with Sam, couldn't have wished for a better driver! Murchison Falls was a very nice park; we saw lots of animals during the game drive and boat cruise along the River Nile. Murchison falls does not only offer these experience but there is also more sightseeing like top of the falls where you can have an unforgettable photographs as you clear view of the falls as marvel into the gorge of the rocks, I hope to return soon to this beautiful country the pearl of Africa.
And for my trip in Uganda Murchison falls national park was perfect for wildlife and more sightseeing, Kibale forest national park for the great chimpanzee tracking and an unforgettable Bigodi walk looking for the rare shoe bill and other primates, Queen Elizabeth national park for viewing wildlife in the savannah grassland and cruise along the Kazinga channel that connects Ramsar Lake George to Lake Edward for more wildlife viewing along the shores, visit for the unforgettable chimps in Kyambura gorge then drive to Bwindi gorilla park via the Ishasha wilderness grassland where you can view the tree African climbing lions and more wildlife species.
With fully prepared requirements we could wait to trek the mountain gorillas in the mist, when we were booking our trip with our knowledgeable tour consultant in Uganda we had to pay earlier in order to get us booked gorilla trekking permits of the Rushegura gorilla family which was so interesting from the group members and the juveniles!
Bwindi Impenetrable National Park lies in southwestern Uganda on the edge of the Rift Valley. Its mist-covered hillsides are blanketed by one of Uganda's oldest and most biologically diverse rainforests, which dates back over 25,000 years and contains almost 400 species of plants. More famously, this "impenetrable forest" also protects an estimated 400 mountain gorillas – roughly half of the world's population, including several habituated groups, which can be tracked once on Gorilla Tracking in Uganda.(www.gorillatracking.net/blog.html)

Pollute Less and You Could Cash In, Britons Told
Date: 20-Jul-06
Country: UK
A government study will focus on personal carbon caps which, if adopted, could allow the public to cash in if they cut down on their emissions of carbon dioxide, which contributes to global warming.
Those who produce less carbon under their personal cap could earn credits, which might be used like points on a loyalty card or sold on to those who pollute more.
The plan will be unveiled by Environment Secretary David Miliband later on Wednesday.
"Imagine a country where carbon becomes a new currency," Milliband will tell the Audit Commission's annual lecture. "We carry bank cards that store both pounds and carbon points. When we buy electricity, gas and fuel, we use our carbon points, as well as pounds."
Under the proposed scheme, carbon allowances would cover energy use through electricity, gas, petrol and air travel. Such emissions make up 44 percent of total UK emissions.
"People on low incomes are likely to benefit as they will be able to sell their excess allowances," Milliband will say. "People on higher incomes tend to have higher carbon emissions due to higher car ownership and usage, air travel and tourism, and larger homes."
Personal carbon allowances are one of several options Britain is looking at to help the public get involved in tackling climate change.
Other ideas include carbon loyalty cards, league tables, the use of carbon offsets at point of purchase for certain sectors, product carbon labelling and carbon calculators.

Joint topology control and routing in IEEE 802.11-based multiradio multichannel mesh networks
Chen, Lin
Zhang, Qian
Li, Minglu
Jia, Weijia
|Issue Date
|IEEE transactions on vehicular technology , v. 56, (5, Part 2), 2007, SEP, p. 3123-3136
|Due to low cost, ease of deployment, increased coverage, and enhanced capacity, multiradio mesh networks that utilize inexpensive and readily available Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.11 wireless interfaces are touted as the new frontier of wireless networking. In a multihop mesh system, the close interaction between topology control and routing selection affects the system throughput of a wireless network. This paper proposes a novel joint topology control and routing (JTCR) protocol for a multiradio multichannel wireless mesh network to exploit both channel diversity and spatial reusability. It resides between medium access control and the network layer and aims to improve the network throughput by coordinating transmission power, channel assignment, and route selection among multiple nodes in a distributed way. JTCR jointly coordinates the transmission power at each node, the channel selection on each wireless interface, and the route selection among interfaces based on the traffic information that is measured and exchanged among two-hop neighbor nodes. An equivalent channel air time metric (EC AT M) is presented to quantify the difference of various adjustment candidates. This protocol achieves the efficient utilization of available channels by selecting a feasible adjustment candidate with the smallest EC AT M value and coordinating affected nodes to realize the adjustment. Our NS-2-based simulation results show that the network throughput can be significantly improved by using our proposed solution.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 15/8/2014 (1104 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
This week has brought another spate of items in the news predicting the death of daily newspapers.
I've gotten used to these over the years. Such predictions have long been a favourite of online commentators, who gleefully predict people will be reading only them in the future.
The main thing such writers have in common – apart from massive use of self-serving arguments -- is that they have little knowledge of the complex nature of newspaper business models or of how these models are being transformed. Attend a newspaper conference these days and you will be overwhelmed by the sheer number of new ideas being developed around the globe.
Admittedly, I was a bit alarmed to see David Carr, the respected media columnist for the New York Times, write a piece headlined: "Print Is Down, and Now Out."
Carr and others were commenting on a recent series of moves by large American media firms to spin off their newspapers into independent companies, separate from their more lucrative TV and digital properties.
Thus orphaned, so the thinking goes, these newspaper companies will wither and die.
Well, I have a message for the spun off newspaper firms: "Welcome to the orphans' club!"
The Winnipeg Free Press was an orphan in 2001 when it was sold by the Thomson Corp., which was divesting itself of its newspapers to focus on electronic information services.
Ron Stern and Bob Silver had confidence in the newspaper's future and purchased the Free Press and sister paper the Brandon Sun. In 2002, 49 per cent of the company was made into a publicly traded entity, which is now known as FP Newspapers Inc. Ron Stern remains the majority owner of the company.
Over almost 13 years, FP has performed steadily as it has adapted to what are undeniably challenging and changing times for newspapers.
We've grown to encompass two daily and eight community newspapers and many related digital businesses. We help advertisers reach customers in print, certainly, but also through many other means such as online ads and social media. Our digital developers produce websites, mobile apps and much more for customers. We print the daily Metro newspaper for Torstar as well as many community and ethnic newspapers owned by others. Our carriers now deliver not just the Free Press and Brandon Sun, but other publications as well.
You may recall that in 2001 the big media company in Winnipeg, owner of multiple Canadian daily newspapers, was Canwest. It went bankrupt and has disappeared.
Our most recent quarterly financial results were released today. They show us holding up better than most public newspaper companies. Revenue for the second quarter was down 5.6 per cent on a year over year basis, but expenses were also down – by 3.5 per cent before restructuring costs are considered – the result of careful management and prudent responses to drops in revenue. A bright spot was a 4.7 per cent increase in internet revenue, a continuing growth area as we develop how we serve our growing digital audience.
At our board meeting, I presented facts on the Free Press and how its audience has changed over the past five years. It went something like this: "In 2008, our readership was 391,000 adults, in 2009 it was 412,000, in 2010 it was 419,000, in 2011 it was 410,000 and in 2013 it was 405,000 adults."
In other words, our audience size is stable.
Those figures alone contradict anyone predicting the imminent demise of the newspaper.
Are times challenging for conventional newspaper companies? You bet.
We have to adapt to the shifting reading habits of our audience – about 10 per cent of them look at our content only digitally, for example. But we are adapting, we will continue to adapt and we'll await the day when people start commenting on the rebirth of newspapers.

For 20 years the Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize has recognized the best Canadian novel or short story collection.
Yasuko Thanh
Mysterious Fragrance of the Yellow Mountains
Hamish Hamilton
"Straining under the colonial rule of the French at the turn of the twentieth century, Vietnam is rife with corruption, oppression, opium dens, and revolutionary cells, and an active guillotine dominates a Saigon square. With compelling narrative drive, Yasuko Thanh imbues Mysterious Fragrance of the Yellow Mountains with atmosphere and resonance, and creates mesmerizing characters who undergo complex change — politically, socially, personally, sexually — as they are gathered into a vortex of intrigue and risk. The author is as fearless and as wise in reshaping the mystique of the revolutionary as she is in delineating a dramatic time and place in this elegant and tantalizing novel."
- 2016 Rogers Writers' Trust Fiction Prize Jury Lauren B. Davis, Trevor Ferguson, and Pasha Malla
Vietnam is a haunted country, and Dr. Nguyen Georges-Minh is a haunted man. In 1908, the French rule Saigon, but uneasily; dissent whispers through the corridors of the city. Each day, more Vietnamese rebels are paraded through the streets towards the gleaming blade of the guillotine, now a permanent fixture in the main square and a gruesome warning to those who would attempt to challenge colonial rule. It is a warning that Georges-Minh will not heed. A Vietnamese national and Paris-educated physician, he is obsessed by guilt over his material wealth and nurses a secret loathing for the French connections that have made him rich, even as they have torn his beloved country apart.
Yasuko Thanh won the Writers' Trust of Canada/McClelland & Stewart Journey Prize in 2009 for her story "Floating Like the Dead." In 2012, her debut collection of the same name was shortlisted for the Danuta Gleed Literary Award and longlisted for the Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award. Thanh's work has appeared in numerous publications, including Prairie Fire, Descant, PRISM international, and Vancouver Review. She lives in Victoria.

Christmas In The Caribbean: Norwegian Dawn Cruise Review by SWFLVagabond
Overall Member Rating
Christmas In The Caribbean
Destination: Western Caribbean
Embarkation: Tampa
This was a holiday cruise and there were many multi-generational families on board which I expected having been on a Christmas cruise previously with Holland America. The cruise was sold out. There is a convenient parking garage across from the NCL terminal where we left my car for the week. Embarkation was a breeze - the fastest ever for any cruise I've been on. Our mid-ship balcony cabin was adequate. It had plenty of storage for 2 people and the beds were comfortable.
We dined at Le Bistro and El More Moderno specialty restaurants. I enjoyed both restaurants, but Moderno which featured Brazilian cuisine was exceptional. The food in the main dining rooms (Venetian and Aqua) were good as was the service. We had to wait to be seated in The Venetian for Christmas Dinner and were given complimentary glasses of champagne while we waited which was a very nice touch. I'm not much for buffets, so only ate in the Garden Café twice for a late afternoon lunch.
The entertainment on board was an A+. I really enjoyed Second City and the comedian (Tim K.). Lots to do in the evening - dancing, audience participation shows (loved Dancing with the Dawn Stars and The Quest), music in several venues, parties and more. No reason to be bored and head to your stateroom early unless you wanted to do so.
The cruise staff were friendly and accommodating, wanting to make sure everyone had a good time and good service. They couldn't have been nicer.
Getting off and back on the ship at each port (Roatan, Honduras; Belize City, Belize; Costa Maya, Mexico, and Cozumel, Mexico) was easy. Security staff were efficient.
I liked that disembarkation allowed passengers to select their time to leave the ship. I have not experienced this before and it was a big plus.
Overall, I had very good experience on this ship and would sail NCL again. If you're looking for a fun, relaxed time, don't want to dress in tux and gowns in the evening, this is the ship and cruise line for you. I'd definitely cruise again with NCL in the Caribbean. What NCL does, they do very well. THIS WAS A FUN CRUISE!! Less

I have a guy friend I have known for a long time, almost 10 years. We have known each other that long, but don't hang out regularly anymore. Anyway, sometimes he lies and it doesn't make sense to me why. He likes to say his memory sucks which is why he doesn't know when my birthday is,but he remembers other things ... Like when I was never to go through my graduation and he said it was as much for my family as it was for me, then didn't participate in his own. He'll forget dinner plans but remember later to reschedule with me. I have a really good memory so I remember a lot, but why does he pretend he doesn't when he does?
Most Helpful Guy
What sort of paranoid individual refuses to take her friends word at his fallible memory, and decides for herself that he must have a good memory and be lying about it?
Listen love, you don't know what it is like to be someone else, so you've no right to assume he's lying to you.
I have a crappy memory too, and I can never remember birthdays and anniversaries. And you know what else? I don't even TRY. Those things don't matter the tiniest f*** to me. But I wouldn't say that to someone because it would hurt her feelings. I simply say "Bad memory" and use what little memory powers I have to remember the things which actually matter to me. Dates ain't one of them.00|00|0

Point A La Linge Candles
I tend to choose candles based on scent rather than appearance but the French company, Point a la Linge, makes candles you might want to choose for their looks alone. They make candles in the shape of flowers, vegetables and Greek columns. The candles are made of colored wax which is then hand painted. The candles are almost too pretty to burn but some, like the peas in the pea pod shown here can be burned and then replaced. The prices are reasonable, most candles are in the $15 to $30 price range with refills priced under $10.

Print LaCrosse Footwear make products for blue-collar folks and blue-collar folks only. Period. Whether you're a worker, farmer, hunter, firefighter, cop, fisherman or on a larger scale, anyone who identifies with the blue-collar values of honest, hard work, you'll find a huge amount of LaCrosse gear and LaCrosse Boots designed to make your life even better than it already is. You'll find our boots and performance clothing in mines, industrial settings, road projects, backcountry hunting camps and many more places where excuses don't cut it. People who know quality ask for LaCrosse Boots by name. It's a commitment LaCrosse made back in 1897 and a lifestyle they'll continue supporting. That's pretty obvious in the way LaCrosse Boots does business. Like you, their products are tough and their service is respectful, if not downright courteous. What's more, if their boots and clothes don't make the blue-collar lifestyle better, they don't waste time making 'em. That means you're not about to see LaCrosse Boots on the cover of some hip Hollywood magazine anytime soon. Just not the folks they aim to serve. They don't guess what their customer's need. LaCrosse lives it. LaCrosse Mining Boots are developed side-by-side with miners. Their scent-free bow hunting boots with experienced hunters. Their toughest leather work boots with the toughest work conditions in mind. See the pattern? You'll see they're conscious of your need for value, too, because LaCrosse products aren't full of a bunch of rigmarole you don't need. Instead, LaCrosse shoes and clothing offers more comfort and technology than you'd generally expect at that price. The way they see it, thinking this way is better, and that's what makes LaCrosse proud to be Blue Collar by Choice. It's the reason they choose specific kinds of leather. It's why a boot's lugs are deep, or shallow, or shaped just so. It's the reason a garment is made with a particular chemical-resistant fabric. Sure, there are easier ways to build products. But it's never been about easy. Respect is the consequence of LaCrosse's 100-plus-year commitment to quality. They promise never to take that respect for granted. Not now. Not ever.

I remember the Blue Lady and how her eyes glittered when she danced and her body spoke in words her mouth could not. Her eyes glinted like light on ice. Her body surged like the ocean at dawn and Brother was swept up in the tide.
Sing this corrosion to me
She would hold me when the bad dreams swelled behind my eyes and she would take me out onto the hill and catch stars and weave them through my hair. Sometimes she would take me and we would walk through the old streets where the houngans held strange spices and the sidewalks flooded with red.
Gimme siren child
Do you hear me call?
We couldn't speak their language but all she had to do was flutter her pretty blue eyes like eggs in a robin's nest and the boys and girls would ruffle and swoon and baby her like a little bird. Then she would wrap her hand in mine and tug me with on her adventures and I was happy.
Sometimes people would ask me "why do you spend so much time with your sister when she shines over your glow?" but they just didn't understand. Her shines helped my shadows grow and we made each other beautiful.
I remember though that when she smiled her eggshell eyes would go dull and pale and she would run to Brother and find peace in his arms. I asked Brother "Why does a woman made of water forge herself in a crucible of fire?" Brother said that sometimes beautiful people loved ugly monsters that hurt them and hurt them. On that night, I cried.
I remember I used to brush her hair and it was like ripples of spun-candy clouds and my fingers were like ivory stalactites. She smelled like warmth and sunlight and violets and I remember I loved her. I loved her and it cracked my heart because it was too full of flowers.
And then the Monster came and I knew her for what she was. She was like beauty wrapped in thorns and vines and hatred and she was rotting and ugly to me. She came to hurt the Blue Lady for what she had done but I could not let that happen.
Kill the king, when love is the law
I did Bad Things. I did Bad Things so the good things could live on and I was punished and my eyes became like smooth, cold blue stones that were too heavy to see. I did it for her. I did it all for her but I couldn't let her see because she would not see me she would see the Monster. I told Brother the Bad Things and he promised not to tell but he knew he had to take me away. He had to take me away from the Blue Lady so she did not know and I cried but I knew it was best. He took me far away but I never stopped loving her.
It was too late though. Other Bad Things had seen what I had done and they took me from Brother. They stole my words and they twisted my mind in places it was not supposed to go and now my lips don't say the right things.
When Brother saved me and took me back he said my eyes were so blue, blue like her. He would brush my hair and he said it was like ripples of spun-candy clouds and his fingers were like stalactites. He would remember her and his voice went dull and pale and he ran to his Husband and found peace in his arms.
Sing, child, of right and wrong
I didn't have any arms to run to when I remembered. I was alone and the world was always dark and my words were broken. I missed her. I wanted to touch her hair and laugh with her and eat sweets and get the sugar all over my face while we laughed and she flirted with all the pretty people. I missed the violets and so I went to find her.
Gimme things that don't last long
In my walk I met a man. His voice was hard like stones grinding together in the ice and I knew the Blue Lady had danced for his eyes. I said "Please Sir, I have traveled long to find my sister and I have lost my way." He wrapped his hand around mine and it was big and eclipsed me like the coldest sun. He smelled of Vodka and his voice was haunted by little children and heavy ghosts.
I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more
"Da, Devotchka. I can take you some of the way but my hands cannot yet hold her."
And so the man with the hard stone voice took me some of the way and let me go and I wandered among the houses. Eventually I met another man. His voice was like drowning and I knew the Blue Lady had crashed along his shores. I said "Please Sir, I have traveled long to find my sister and I have lost my way." He wrapped his hand around mine and it was like thin rods of steel curling spiky and sharp. He smelled like sickness but I didn't feel dead.
"Yes, little girl. I can take you some of the way but Milaya shines too bright for these perfect green eyes."
And so the man with the drowning voice took me some of the way and let me go and I wandered among the houses. I knew I was close. I could smell violets all around me. Eventually I met another man. His voice was like gauze stifling a wound and I knew the Blue Lady had wrapped his hurts. I said "Please Sir, I have traveled long to find my sister and I have lost my way." He wrapped his hand around mine and it was like sterile hospital tools that were too good at cutting but I was not afraid. He smelled like white and static and his emptiness made me cry.
"Yes, little blue eyes. I will take you to the Ballerina because I understand the way."
I don't need no one to understand
And so the man with the voice like smothering took me to the house of the Blue Lady and I knew it was hers because I could feel the petals of the violets even in winter. The man walked away and I knocked on the door and I held my arms wide
and the door opened.

Have Ford Questions? Ask a Mechanic for Answers ASAP
HiCustomer Thank you for asking your question on JustAnswer.
It sounds like you might have a connection issue at the blower motor or the blower motor resistor. I would check the connections on both. Wiggle the connectors with the blower running.I would also remove the resistor and inspect it for any signs of corrosion or loose solder joints on the resistors. Both items are located under the instrument panel on the passenger side of the vehicle. See attachments below for instructions/locations.
