Research at Rice University has proved that the work done by Lithium-Ion batteries can also be done with very tiny batteries, which Rice University just produced.
The researchers have packed the energy produced by an entire Lithium-Ion battery into a small nanowire. This battery is 6 times thinner than a bacterium, 100 times thinner than a human hair and 60,000 times smaller than a AAA batttery.

General Manager, Eric Liebtag
A Culinary and Hospitality Management graduate of Le Courdon Bleu in London, England, Eric Liebtag joins The Corner Office as General Manager, bringing with him more than ten years of culinary experience. Responsible for overseeing service and day-to-day operations at The Corner Office, Liebtag joins forces with Executive Chef Rich Byers, to offer a unique food and beverage program, focused on supporting local agriculture and purveyors.
Liebtag has always had a great love for food, from his teenage years, practicing as a butcher's apprentice in a small neighborhood butcher shop to serving as a restaurant manager at McKinley Pub in Philadelphia. In the early 2000's, Liebtag left Philadelphia for Europe where he had the opportunity to work hotels in Switzerland and cafes in France, as well as receive his culinary education at Le Courdon Bleu in London. Following graduation, Eric refined his culinary skills under Andrea Garrett at One Michelin Star Restaurant, The Orrery in London, where he served as Pastry Chef.
In 2005, Liebtag found himself back in the states, where he joined Philadelphia's four bell restaurant, Lacroix as Sous Chef. Liebtag received an opportunity in 2008 to join opening team at The Blackstone Hotel and Mercat al la Planxa in Chicago, where he joined the family of Sage Hospitality and took the role as Executive Chef with Chef Jose Garces, followed by Assistant General manager at Mercat al la Planxa, directing all food and beverage departments including menu, recipe, and system development. During his tenure, Mercat was awarded Best New Restaurant in 2008 by Esquire magazine. Recognizing his passion for restaurant management, menu creations, and the ability to lead a team to successfully run a food and beverage program, Liebtag left The Blackstone Hotel and Mercat in 2013, but still stayed in the Sage family to join the team at The Corner Office.

| The following The Ashes of Rome (Map Game) page is under construction.
Please do not edit or alter this article in any way while this template is active. All unauthorized edits may be reverted on the admin's discretion. Propose any changes to the talk page.
Alternate history or alternative history, sometimes abbreviated AH, is a genre of fiction consisting of stories that are set in worlds in which one or more historical events unfolds differently from how it did in reality. It can be variously seen as a subgenre of literary fiction, science fiction, and historical fiction; different alternate history works may use tropes from any or all of these genres. Another occasionally used term for the genre is "allohistory" (literally "other history"). (paragraph copied from Wikipedia)
Alternative History was created by Muhammad Mehmed in 747 when he published the first ever book 'Persia Survives'. The Caliph was really interested at that time and orded another book to be made. He also decided to promote Alternative History. This meant by 550 there was loads of Alternate Historians in the Caliphate. He made his second book in 549 called 'Byzantine Defeat'.
Map Games was invented by Muhammad Ali (random name and its NOT THE BOXER) in 549. It was when you have a map and you play different nations in a different time period or the same time period. You are in control of your nation in all ways. A mod is the leader of the game and do mod responses and create events which happen in the game. A mod cannot play.
In 553 the Caliph made it law that Alternative History would be taught all over the Caliphate. This meant that Alternative History was extremely popular in the Caliphate.
In writing an alternate history, the author makes the conscious choice to change something in our past. According to Muhammed Mehmed, the farther of alternative history, alternate history requires three things:
1) the story must have a point of divergence from the history of our world prior to the time at which the author is writing
2) a change that would alter history as it is known.
3) an examination of the ramifications of that change. (Section copied from Wikipedia)
Muhammed Mehmeds Books
- Persia Survives - What if Persia offered a treaty to the Caliphate in 620s and made sure that the Persian Kingdom was stable enough to survive at that current size.
- Byzantine Defeat - What if the Byzantine Empire was defeatend in the 1st Byzantine-Caliphate war and made sure that the Caliphate had an advantage against the Goths?
- Rome Collapsed Differently - What if Rome collapsed differently so the Goths werent so United and made sure that the Caliphate would rule over North Africa in 750? (It collapsed like the OTL)
- No Muhammed - What if the prophet Muhammed died when he was ten and the Caliphate would never of existed?
- No Plague - What if the Plague of the 7th Century never came about and both sides would be stronger in the war of the 2 High Councils?
- Goth and the Caliphate freinds - What if the Goths accepted the Caliphate into the High Council of the Mediterranean and the War of the Two High Councils and the High Council of the Middle East would never existed?
Alternative History lessons
By 12 years of age, it is required that all students would read the six Muhammed Mehed books. Alternative History is taught until 16 years of age when you've got the choice of more teaching of Alternative History.
Alternative History other books
This is where other nations from the Caliphate can list there own Alternative History books. You have to list it and make a page for it.

Our modern, spacious apartment in the new and exclusive development of Quinta das Palmeiras offers everything you need for a perfect relaxing holiday. Within a few minutes walk you can be wandering through the historic old town of Lagos, with its many traditional shops and local restaurants, or enjoying a sundowner on the beautiful marina. A ten minute walk along the promenade will take you to the safe sandy town beach of Praia da Batata.
The apartment has everything you need including TV with BBC channels, DVD, full wifi. air-conditioning, ample storage and underground parking to keep your car cool during the hot days (we hope!). At the secure residents-only family friendly pools there are sun loungers and parasols, alongside an enclosed soft mat playground area for the children. Our sunny, spacious, balcony, accessible from the kitchen and living area, is furnished with comfortable rattan dining table and lounge chairs.
Our local manager Gail will advise you on airport transfers, toy boxes, welcome packs and general information about collecting keys and Lagos itself. We love the fresh, local food on offer in the many and varied restaurants, the ease of walking around the town without the need for a car, and the friendliness of the local Portugese. Come and see it for yourself!
The living area is comfortably furnished with leather sofas, (1 a double sofa bed) coffee table, lamps and rugs, with the dining area seating 6 guests. The TV/DVD can access satellite channels (not BBC). Double glass doors with electric security blinds lead onto large balcony.
Outside the balcony is furnished with a rattan dining table, chairs and additional lounge chairs with a coffee table to enjoy a relaxing drink or alfresco dining. There are planters and shrubs to make this an attractive area to relax, drink and dine.
Bedroom 1 - King sized Bed
Bedroom 2 - 2 Single Beds
Both bedrooms have large fully fitted wardrobes with plenty of hanging space and drawers. Bedside tables, a dressing table and large mirrors complete the furnishings. Haitrdryer.
The en-suite to the double room has a hydrotherapy bath with shower, basin and toilet, bidet, towel rails and toiletries storage unit, shaver socket. The second bathroom has shower enclosure, basin and toilet along with towel rails and toiletries storage unit.
A washing machine is situated in the kitchen along with a clothes airer, iron and ironing board.
Guests also have free access to the leisure centre which includes an indoor heated swimming pool, jacuzzi/hot tub, fully equipped gym, showers and WCs. We can arrange for a cot and high chair to be available. Welcome packs can be ordered in advance to include fruit/tea/filter coffee/juice/bread/eggs/wine etc. Please enquire when booking. Also baby food, nappies, toys can be available on request. We will do our best to accommodate early/late arrivals. Our manager Gail will meet you at the apartment, will settle you in and answer any queries you may have. She has a wealth of local knowledge having lived in the area for many years and will be your point of contact throughout your stay.
The apartment is on the first floor and the lift stops just outside the apartment door. There is access from the underground car park directly to the apartment.
We are both retired professionals and live in the centre of England.
One of us is a keen golfer and loves the variety of courses in this part of Portugal. We both enjoy the beautiful unspoilt scenery of the western Algarve. We have grown up children and grandchildren who love to come and stay and enjoy the area with us.
Val purchased this apartment in 2011
Location, location, location!
We bought this property because we love Lagos and the surrounding area. It is a busy working Portuguese town with a charm of its own whatever time of the year you visit. We enjoy driving to the west coast and visiting the fantastic beaches. We have found a wonderful seafood restaurant in the most unspoilt area with wonderful sunsets - highly recommended.
There is always plenty to do whatever time of year you visit and you do not have to use the car at all because of its central location. The apartment itself is home from home with everything you could want to make it an enjoyable and relaxing stay. Our south facing balcony enjoy the sun most of the day.
We love the light and airy feel to the apartment and its clean and modern look. So easy to look after. Cafe Fresco is so handy for either a lazy breakfast or to take away a bite to eat for lunch on the balcony.
Myself, husband and two year old son have recently stayed here. The Apartment was clean, tidy & well furnished. We could not have asked for anything more from the apartment itself. Air conditioning throughout made it extremely comfortable. Wifi was an added bonus and two bathrooms, one with a bath, was great with a small child. Val, the owner, arranged for private transfers from the airport, a highchair and even a toy box! Gail met us on our arrival at the apartment and showed us around answering any questions we had. The apartment is well situated for exploring Lagos. We ate out most evenings. There are good restaurants a couple of minutes away and a little further, about a 10 minute walk, is the centre of the town, where there are many good restaurants to choose from. The two beaches Meia Praia and Batta are both about a 15 minute walk away. We didn't hire a car but, had we done so, the apartment has underground parking and designated space. The bus station is a couple of minutes away and the buses are a cheap way to explore further afield. Overall, we had a fabulous holiday, fell in love with Lagos, and will definitely be back.
Images do not do the apartment justice, we loved it from the minute we walked in, so much space and all the luxuries of home, plus the weather. Location is excellent for everything you want to do, and a wonderful relaxing place to come back to after a hot day sightseeing or on the beautiful beaches close by. Definitely coming back in the coming years and can honestly say not said that very often. Contact on arrival was very informative and even arranged transfers from the airport, local knowledge also very helpful. We did many things and really enjoyed them all, best value for money apart from the beautiful beach was the tuk tuk tours, really good fun, informative and driver was great at taking us to places we would not have seen, 2.5 hours , 3 people for 30 euros- excellent.
Paul, Emma and Josh
We really enjoyed our stay in Lagos. The apartment was perfect for 4 adults, very clean, spacious and well equipped with a large balcony to enjoy outdoor dining. We hired a car and appreciated the secure parking space that was included in the rental (the space was exceptionally large compared to other holiday rentals we have experienced). Walking into Lagos centre was quick and easy, with lots of different restaurants to choose from, the Marina was 5 minutes away and the beach was only a 10/15 minute walk. The apartment was also well placed for driving, within minutes you could be on the N125 coast road which runs along the Algarve and we enjoyed exploring the area. We would definitely recommend the apartment, the facilities, wifi, indoor and outdoor pool, gym, and it's location are great and we wouldn't hesitate to return.
We had a very good vacation and was very satisfied with the apartment. Big rooms and well equipped kitchen. And thanks for the good explanations and manuels. Also the garage was a pleasure.
Excellent property, all you need to enjoy your holiday, kind reception, very comfortable. Totally recommend it!!!
We have been coming to Portugal for many years and have stayed in a villa complex in Torraltinha Lagos for the last 10 years which we have really enjoyed. My sister is disabled and it has been getting harder for her to travel down into the town on her mobile scooter so we chose an apartment nearer to the Marina recommended by our good friend (Gail) who looks after it for the owners and it is a great choice much better than we thought it would be. Very spacious, comfortable and clean, well equipped and a good base location for getting around the town easily. It has an underground car park with a lift to our apartment so easy access for her mobile scooter and two swimming pools and a gym which we really enjoyed using each day. Very pleased with the excellent Wi-Fi reception but would have liked a better TV service for the men of our party!! It is in a great position within walking distance to excellent bars and restaurants particularly the Marina. We love it in Lagos and are really looking forward to returning again in October this year.
Lagos has an abundance of separate white sandy beaches - the long and spacious Meia Praia beach (almost 6km long) on the Marina side of town which is a 5-10 minute walk from the apartment, and the smaller but beautiful cliff surrounded cove beaches on the western side, including the Dona Ana beach, considered by many to be the most beautiful and picturesque beach in the whole Algarve. A short 30 minute drive away are the wonderful surfing beaches on the West coast of the Algarve, including Praia do Amado, often proclaimed to be the most popular beach along the West coast.
There is a local supermarket, Pingo Duce, within 3 minutes walk with an ATM machine nearby. Lidl is a five minute walk from the apartment.
Just below the apartment there is the reasonably priced Cafe Fresco serving excellent English and Portuguese food (with free Wi Fi). There are multiple bars and restaurants within a comfortable ten minute stroll.
Popular boat trips run along the west coast all year round and can be boarded just five minutes from the apartment. Lagos is a great place for all kind of water sports and nautical activities whilst just ten minutes away at Luz there is a PADI certified diving school.
There's plenty for the children to enjoy - Lagos Zoo and Marine Zoo are all nearby and the water parks of Aqualand and Slide and Splash provide much fun and enjoyment for both parents and children.
Lagos is ideally located for golfing holidays. Lagos is served by two world class courses, the Palmares course and the Boavista course, both of which are a 5 minute drive from the apartment complex. The main golf season is from late autumn to late spring. Winters are mild and golfers can enjoy warm sunny days on the fairways when their home courses are unplayable.
The Palmares course, a Par 71, is a design masterpiece, which blends a perfect mix of links and inland golf, with magnificent views over Lagos Bay and the Monchique mountains.
The Boavista course provides a variety of attractive and interesting holes. Umbrella pines, blossoming almond, fig, palm and olive trees line the rolling fairways, weaving their way between water hazards and carefully placed bunkers.
Breathtaking views, spectacular scenery and the clear Atlantic Ocean, which is visible from most holes, all combine to make this course a delight for the golfer. There are also other golf courses a short drive from Lagos.
Lagos is a town steeped in history and to many visitors, it is their favourite on the coastline. It has a charm and beauty all of its own. Indeed, it has often been described as the jewel in the Algarve crown. Its historic centre is enclosed in largely fourteenth century walls at the mouth of the Ribeira de Bensafrim. It was from here, inspired by Prince Henry the Navigator's maritime school, that many of Portugal's great explorers set off on their great Voyages of Discovery, including Gil Eanes, who was born in Lagos and whose statue today stands in the shadow of the Town walls.
Lagos became capital of the Algarve in 1577 but much of the town was destroyed in the great 1755 earthquake and Faro took over as capital in 1776.
Today Lagos is a major resort but it remains a living breathing working Portuguese town and is an important services centre, fishing port and local market centre. Its pretty winding cobbled streets are full of outdoor restaurants, interesting shops and has a lively atmosphere whilst during the summer months there are concerts held in the amphitheatre close to the old Town walls.
You can visit the old Slave Market to view an art exhibition or while away some time in Lagos Museum to learn about the colourful past of this charming town.
Within a few minutes walk of Lagos' enchanting historic old town quarter (centro historico); with its fine selection of restaurants offering the best gastronomy of Algarve cuisine, bars and pavement cafes, shops and stylish boutiques, traditional handicrafts shops, all contained within the old 16th Century city walls and a maze of cobbled streets

(Adds quotes, details)
TOULOUSE, France, June 8 (Reuters) - The head of Airbus expressed worries about growing geopolitical uncertainties on Thursday, calling the rift between key customer Qatar and its Gulf neighbours troubling and warning of the impact of a "hard Brexit" on the planemaker's UK operations.
"Any disruption in any mature region or market that is relevant for us is a reason for concern," Chief Executive Tom Enders told reporters.
Referring to the aviation blockade against Qatar imposed by Saudi Arabia and others this week, Enders said: "That's a development that is troubling for our industry, for many industries. We sincerely hope that these disruptions are not developing to a long-term conflict."
The bust-up between Arab powers has dealt a blow to Gulf carriers already hurt by low oil prices and laptop bans and exposed the sensitivity of Gulf hubs to regional uncertainty, delegates at an airlines meeting said this week..
Analysts say any prolonged disruption could prompt Qatar to delay taking aircraft deliveries from Airbus and Boeing.
Speaking at a media briefing ahead of the June 19-25 Paris Airshow, Enders played down suggestions that Airbus, the world's second-largest planemaker behind Boeing, was too reliant on the Middle East.
"We are far from being over exposed… to this region," he said, noting it made up 13 percent of unfilled orders.
"I think this region will remain important and relevant even allowing for some recouping, some consolidation; nobody can exclude that for the long term."
With talks looming on Britain's decision to leave the European Union, Enders said Airbus's UK plants were among its most competitive and warned against crimping this advantage through restrictions on people or goods.
"We are a company that is obviously very interested in the free flow of people. The mobility between our sites in Europe is crucially important," he said.
"Any tariff barriers could also potentially impact the competitiveness of our activities in Britain."
Enders was speaking shortly before a shock exit poll suggested that UK Prime Minister Theresa May had failed to maintain an overall majority after calling an election to strengthen her Conservative government's position ahead of EU negotiations.
Several companies have expressed concerns over a so-called 'hard Brexit' under which trade tariffs could apply.
Enders said "any British government paying attention to the importance of the aerospace industry is well aware of what is at stake".
Analysts say Airbus is expected to press UK governments for continued support for the aerospace industry as the price for maintaining the same level of UK investment for future aircraft programmes. (Reporting by Tim Hepher, Cyril Altmeyer; Editing by Dan Grebler)

Moment Poem
As I looked out the window
rainy and gloomy
but somehow comforting and relaxing
I laid down in my bed
listening to music
and sipping my hot chocolate.
I curled up in my bed
then I closed my eyes
letting myself drown in a river of happiness.
Then I murmured
'What a perfect moment.'

All new airline credit cards are linked to traveler's miles on behalf of new applicants. They have to coordinate deals with major companies who will accept these miles for future endeavors. Travelers are focused on working to fulfill different obligations before they make arrangements. Having a credit card approved and prepared will put them at ease before they undertake any major trip.
4. Discover it Miles
The credit card will actually give new applicants over 12 months to pay down different purchases. They can structure payments in a way that won't overwhelm them financially. Credit card deals are approved through an approved lending agency. The Discover brand is one associated with trust on certain types of purchase deals.
Select plans can be linked to accrue airline miles on behalf of the consumer. Lenders often provide some reward to make purchases worthwhile. Each deal has to be structured in a way that makes sense. The sleek appearance of the card makes it ideal for anyone keenly interested in new deals.
3. Capital One Venture
Applicants should seek out a company well versed in a listing of new options. The Capital One Venture Rewards Card is shipped out to new destinations for those following plans. A signing bonus is actively available on behalf of new customers.
Earning unlimited miles is a popular draw for those who want to book purchases. But Capital One will make sure that miles never expire either. They may be accrued until customers are ready for a travel excursion.
2. Delta Reserve Credit Card
It is always helpful to have a credit card ready to use as needed. Delta is a major airliner who has built up trust among consumers. Their credit card is ready for flexible purchases that may be listed through select sources.
Travelers may earn 10K miles after their first selected purchases. That gives them a substantial advantage when planning a trip to nearly any destination in the world. Frequent Fliers will appreciate having another card in stock as well.
Citi has partnered with American Airlines to ship out a new credit card to their loyal users. They can rapidly build up miles to be used on nearly any trip. Perks and benefits are often included in a list of assets offered up by the card. New applicants need an excellent credit history to maintain their status as borrowers through Citi.

Went to the pics with my 2 sons and watched Prometheus in 3D, then went for a burger, then home and watched Blade Runner Final Cut for the n'th time with a nice glass of Morgans n' Coke.
Am so-o-o looking forward to him making the proposed prequal to Blade Runner!
Anyone else a fan of these?

Haven't seen Prometheus yet, but love his movies.

I too haven't seen Prometheus, I wish Friday got here quicker.... :/
Hate to admit it but I never seen 'Blade Runner'.

I think Blade Runner is a classic - I must buy the book it was based on sometime (Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep).
Music was by Vangelis, just fits the film (imho) and Rutger Hauer's death is a great scene "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe....".
Anyways, getting back to Prometheus (not going to spoil) Ridley Scott says there are maybe another 2 films yet to bridge the gap up to Alien - if true, can't wait.
Jun 4, 2012 at 10:28 UTC
Since we're on this side of the pond, we don't get it until this weekend (but I'll be going just the same). I will second your suggestion to read the novel - most of Philip K. Dick's stuff is a pretty good read, and there's more that he's written that's been turned into Hollywood fodder. And, so long as the sequels to Prometheus don't turn out like some of the Alien sequels I think we'll be OK. I could stomach three (barely) but four was a turd. It's really too bad the rest couldn't be as good as Aliens.
I'll also agree that Blade Runner was an excellent film, although it seems a little dated by today's standards, I think for the most part it has held up extremely well. I remember seeing that one in the theaters with my folks (I was 14 at the time) and I went out and bought the soundtrack the next day.
Jun 4, 2012 at 10:28 UTC
I have not seen Blade runner in years, seeing this thread I think I may make it a movie night and watch it tonight.
I will probably be tired tomorrow but oh well!! LOL
Jun 4, 2012 at 10:45 UTC
Not sure but I think some of the Alien sequels were not Ridley Scott (and the Alien v's Predator etc are not that good, "Predators" with Adrian Brody is truly awful imo).
But even though I have seen BR a few times and used to own the DVD, I really enjoyed it most this time round, I seem to appreciate the story more now. Some have even speculated that Harrison Ford's character might even be a droid and not know it.
Obviously you can see I am a sci-fi film fan!
Jun 4, 2012 at 11:15 UTC
We got to wait till next weekend. Does not hit the theaters until Friday. I am jealous and Yes me and my wife are both Sci-Fi fans. Love all that Ridley Scott, Star Trek, Blade Runner stuff.

Only the first was Ridley Scott. Aliens was James Cameron. They changed the director for each movie.

I didn't think there was an awful lof of real 3D footage (not like say, Avatar) but I still thought the whole film was beautifully shot.
Jun 11, 2012 at 8:24 UTC
Watched it Saturday night. Always been a big fan of the Alien series and Ridley's work. So, when I heard he was on this project (and that this project even existed), I was extremely excited. I thought it was a fantastic movie. It held onto the feel on the 1979 classic very well. My only real complaint was that Noomi Rapace looked a little too much like a young Sigourney Weaver, which I know was another homage to the original, but it just seemed too convenient.
Note to all people going to watch this film: Forget everything but the first three movies. The AvP movies cause a problem with the timeline of Prometheus and were never intended to be part of the Alien universe. Alien Resurrection was just terrible.
/Actually, Alien 3 wasn't the best either, but at least it provides closure for the story.
Jun 11, 2012 at 9:11 UTC
Ok, went to the matinee on Sat. Saw the movie, loved it. They put some serious money into this production. Solid Sci-Fi, IMO.
Jun 11, 2012 at 10:16 UTC
I think the Blue-ray would be worth it when it comes out.

The Empire League is a planned independent baseball league scheduled to start in 2016.[1] It will replace the North Country Baseball League, which folded after one season.[2] The league will operate with four teams based in the states of New York, and Maine. The league is a low-budget league, meant to give players recently graduated from college or with little pro experience an opportunity at staying in shape and providing them the chance at being signed to higher level league contracts with affiliated or independent teams. All league funding comes from advertisement sales, ticket sales, tryout revenue. The League will be run by Eddie Gonzalez, former professional baseball player, and former NCBL executive

How good is our God!

Geronimo's Heirs Declare War on Yale's Skull and Bones: It's About Damn Time
My question is, what took 'em so long? I'm talking about the descendants of the Apache warrior Geronimo demanding his remains back from "one hundred years of imprisonment at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, the Yale University campus at New Haven, Connecticut, and wherever else they may be found," according to a lawsuit filed yesterday in federal court.
In case you missed that lesson in your junior high social studies class, Geronimo was the scourge of the Southwest in the late 1800s, having been driven into the life of a warrior after his first wife and their children were slaughtered by Mexican soldiers. (Other wives and offspring were to follow.) Relentlessly hunted by American cavalry, he was caught and escaped on more than one occasion, and eluded over 5,000 American troops in pursuit of Geronimo and his small group of Apaches.
Ultimately, Geronimo surrendered to General Nelson Miles near Douglas, Arizona. He spent the rest of his days as a prisoner of war, and died in 1909 at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma, where he was subsequently buried. Though he was pretty famous and much in demand toward the end of his days, he was not allowed to return to his homeland, as he had requested of President Theodore Roosevelt.
Now his lineal descendants want to take him back to his birthplace located in New Mexico's Gila National Forest, so his spirit can be at peace. But there's a possible snag in the return of the remains-- the rumor that the ofay aristocrats of Yale University's secret Skull and Bones society may have Geronimo's skull, and other bones or items looted from Geronimo's grave.

"It has been claimed and widely repeated," states the suit, which is as a good a primer as any on Geronimo's life, "that in 1918 or 1919 a group of Yale University students, members of a campus organization called the Order of Skull and Bones, including Prescott Bush, father of former President George H.W. Bush and grandfather of President George W. Bush, opened the tomb of Geronimo and removed his skull, other bones and items buried with the body and took them to the Order's premises on Yale campus..."
Can you think of a scummier thing to do than to raid the tomb of a Native American warrior and make off with his remains? But that's what many claim Yale's elite, WASPy "Order of Death" did back in the day. Like a lot of idiot college frat-head pranks, this was apparently regarded as a super-cool thing. Speculation is that the thieves were serving in the Army at Ft. Sill when this was done. There have since been numerous reports that Geronimo's bones are on display at Skull and Bones HQ, "the Tombs," or that they may even be used in sicko sub rosa ceremonies enacted by upper crust a-holes such as George W. and John Kerry.
Either way, Bonesmen are finally gonna have to own up to whether or not the legend is true, and if it is, they should be rightfully forced to cough up the goods. And if they do have Geronimo's remains at the Tombs, what a perfect metaphor for the ruling class of the United States, capitalists, thieves and grave-robbers all.

Fiery Film is a film/TV company/studio based in Lagos and Owerri. Officially formed in June 28, 2012 by filmmaker C.J. "Fiery" Obasi, our feature film projects include
Fiery Film is a film/TV company/studio formed in June 28, 2012 by filmmaker C.J. "Fiery" Obasi. As a nascent production company couldn't get funding for its next project after Jim & Joan (2012) which was the closing film at the Eko International Film Festival (2012). Though screened in its incomplete form Jim & Joan was hailed as the "scariest film" at the festival, with Writer/Director C.J. "Fiery" Obasi's work being compared to Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier's expressionism. C.J. not being able to secure fonding, or post-production support to complete Jim & Joan, C.J. and his team would not be deterred, and having learnt so much from the misfortunes of Jim & Joan they courageously ventured on to produce a zero-budget horror/thriller "OJUJU", which premiered at the prestigious Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) in November 2014, where, due to popular demand it was screened twice and went on to win the award for "Best Nigerian Film" beating many high budget films within the category. OJUJU is currently enjoying audience and critical acclaim within and without the country, and has secured a place as a groundbreaking work in the history of New Nigerian Cinema. OJUJU attracted renown international filmmakers and critics, such as Todd Brown (Twitch Film, Producer Raid: Redemption and Raid 2), Frank Scheck (The Hollywood Reporter), and Tambay Obenson (Shadow & Act) to write a favorable reviews on it, lauding C.J.'s raw talent and creative resourcefulness, despite working under harsh conditions and budgetary constraints.
Fiery Film's latest work is the crime-gangster thriller "O-Town", also written by C.J. "Fiery" Obasi. A film he calls his exploration into genre-filmmaking. O-Town premiered at AFRIFF 2015 in Lagos, and will go on to screen at Gothenburg Film Festival, Sweden.
Fiery Film has numerous projects in the form of features, shorts, anthologies, series, animations and even graphic novels, all in development and or scripting stages.
Here are the people behind Fiery Film:
Born and raised in small town, Owerri, Nigeria. C.J. grew up watching Hammer House horror films and reading Stephen King novels. As a child, he developed a knack for drawing comics based on all his favourite movies and superheroes at the time. Comics which he would sell to his peers much to their delight. Much later on in life, C.J. would put aside his degree in Computer Science from the University of Nigeria (UNN) to launch into filmmaking, full time.
C.J. fondly called "Fiery" or "The Fiery One" set up his company "Fiery Film" in 2012, and soon after his friend Benjamin Stockton, a screenwriter and movie aficionado from California, and Oge Obasi (nee Ugwu) came on board to help run the company. Fiery Film latest project is the horror thriller feature film "Ojuju", written, directed and edited by C.J. OJUJU premiered at the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF), where it won The Best Nigerian Movie Award. In March 2015, C.J. won the Trailblazer Award at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) for his groundbreaking work with OJUJU.
C.J's latest work is "O-Town" a crime thriller epic piece, which C.J. calls his "Western in an Eastern land" and describes as "His exploration into genre-filmmaking", as well as an unnamed period piece. C.J. has also worked as an editor on other productions and commercials for brands, including GLO. His favourite filmmakers are Martin Scorcese, David Lynch, Quentin Tarantino, Lars von Trier, Darren Aranofsky, Stanley Kubrick, Sam Raimi, to mention only but a few.
Oge Ugwu has been in production for more than 7 years. Having worked on location and on sets in high-scale productions both for TV and film, such as Kunle Afolayan's The Figurine, Amstel Malta Box Office, TV programs for SpiceTV, Miss Earth Nigeria, and Heineken's Champion's Planet. Oge co-produced the surrealistic feature film "Jim & Joan", and produced "Apostate" starring the likes of Kehinde Bankole and Nobert Young. She is the Production Manager on Ultima Studio's sitcom "Aduke Hotel". She produced "OJUJU" A zombie-horror thriller which premiered at the Africa International Film Festival (AFRIFF) where it won the Best Nigerian Film award.
Oge is also the Production Manager at Desperate Housewives Africa. She is the Head of Productions at Fiery Film, where she is presently developing various feature length films, documentaries and TV shows.
Her latest feature endeavour is the crime-gangster thriller "O-Town". She is currently developing feature film and series ideas with husband, and collaborator C.J. Obasi.
Benjamin Stockton came to Fiery Film from sunny California, land of Hollywood. He is an avid science fiction fan, and has been writing science fiction and developing virtual worlds since before "virtual world" entered the
English lexicon. His first efforts began when he was around 8 or so, and involved large numbers of Legos, flashlights and clay for special effects. After watching Nollywood movies with some Nigerian friends back in the day, he asked, "where's the science fiction," only to be told, "there isn't any."
Along the way, Benjamin kept that question at the back of his mind. Then he bumped into CJ Obasi. After viewing some reels from him, Benjamin decided CJ would be great talent to team up with to provide a fulsome answer to that question he had years ago. So along with Oge, CJ and Benjamin joined their considerable creative forces, and brought Fiery Film into formal existence.
These days, Benjamin Stockton can be found in his lair, listening to anything from heavy metal to hip-hop, whilst creating science fiction featuring Africans, for Africans as well as audiences worldwide. He figures the West is pretty much tapped out for new ideas, and Nollywood is the perfect place to bring some fresh talent and new ideas for the genre to fruition. Projects he has under development for Fiery Film include TV series with the running titles "Salvation," and "Parallax." As well as an untitled animated short screenplay based on Celtic and African mythologies.

The image of the everlasting ace, strong and sturdy, firing fastballs and churning through innings while never giving into pain, is the exception in baseball history. The elbow injury to New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey, who has a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament that may require reconstructive surgery, is really nothing new.
"Back then, you did what you could to be out on the field," said Jim Palmer, who pitched for the Baltimore Orioles from 1965 to 1984. "It didn't make us any better than these guys. They're terrific players who play their hearts out. It's just a different era."
No pitcher who made his debut in the last 25 seasons ranks among the top 65 on the career list for innings pitched. Yet, despite smaller workloads, more pitchers are breaking down. About one of every three major-league pitchers has had Tommy John surgery, in which the ulnar collateral ligament is replaced by a tendon from another part of the body, compared with roughly one of every nine pitchers a decade ago.
Throwing a baseball at high speeds, as more and more pitchers seem to be doing, is inherently unnatural. With the rise of amateur travel leagues, many young pitchers log more innings than they probably should. Those factors, combined with tests that detect the slightest signs of physical damage, have made the surgery popular despite requiring about a year of recovery.
"The technology is such that we know more, and in the case of an elbow, we also know, 'Gee, if it's fixed, there's a 90-per-cent chance that it's really fixed,' " Mets general manager Sandy Alderson said. "In fact, I've heard of situations where high-school pitchers have come and said they wanted Tommy John surgery. They didn't even have an elbow problem, but they figured they would throw harder after the surgery than they did before."
Harvey, who led the National League in strikeouts before his injury, was placed on the disabled list last Tuesday, and will miss the rest of the season. He tweeted he would be back April 1, but Alderson said that was news to him. Surgery remains a strong possibility, which would put Harvey in good company.
Adam Wainwright, A.J. Burnett, Matt Thornton, Scott Downs, Jonny Venters, Jordan Zimmermann, Ryan Vogelsong, Jason Grilli, Ryan Dempster, Scott Feldman, Eric O'Flaherty … Imagine, said Will Carroll, a leading authority on sports injuries who writes for BleacherReport.com, a day when Washington Nationals star Stephen Strasburg simply vanishes. All the hype, all the early success, and then suddenly, he stops pitching well, complains of a sore arm, and never pitches again.
"Take four pitchers off every roster," Carroll said. "What would that look like?"
Years ago, it happened all the time. Fans remember outliers like Nolan Ryan (fifth on the career innings list), Steve Carlton (ninth), Tom Seaver (19th) and Palmer (43rd). But for each of those Hall of Famers, there were many other pitchers who could have lasted much longer had they pitched today.
When Palmer signed with the Orioles, in 1963, the team was stocked with young pitching talent. Wally Bunker, who tossed a shutout at 21 in the 1966 World Series, threw his final major-league pitch at 26. Chuck Estrada, who led the American League in wins as a rookie in 1960, was effectively finished three years later.
"He probably tore his ulnar collateral ligament, but nobody knew," Palmer said. "It was just, 'He has a bad elbow.' Was it treatable? Nobody ever knew. You just tried to pitch through it and when you couldn't get anybody out, your career was over."
Palmer, like Bunker, threw his own shutout in the 1966 World Series, at 20. Hampered by problems with his biceps and then his rotator cuff, Palmer managed only nine starts the next two seasons.
He recovered to have a long career, helped by exceptional athleticism and the lessons he learned by pitching without his best stuff while injured. Palmer fared better than his opponent in that World Series game, Sandy Koufax, who was 30 and never pitched again.
Koufax's arm gave out eight years early. Frank Jobe performed the first reconstructive-elbow operation on John, a different Los Angeles Dodgers left-hander, in 1974.
Tim Hudson, Joe Nathan, Joel Hanrahan, Bruce Chen, Neftali Feliz, Jaime Garcia, Kris Medlen, Jarrod Parker, Mark Melancon, Jorge De La Rosa, Joba Chamberlain … The last pitcher to work 300 innings in a season was Carlton, for the Philadelphia Phillies in 1980. His manager at the time was Dallas Green, who managed the New York Yankees nine years later, and allowed a young left-hander, Al Leiter, to throw 163 pitches in his second start of the season.
The Yankees traded Leiter to the Toronto Blue Jays a few weeks later, and from that point through 1992, Leiter threw only 15 2/3 innings in the majors. Leiter needed two elbow operations – although not reconstruction – and rebuilt his delivery with a pitching coach, Gil Patterson.
Leiter also took an interest in biomechanics, becoming more aware of what worked for him physically, and why. He retired in the spring of 2006, at 40, and said teams would someday embrace advanced science to keep their pitchers healthier. But some are skeptical.
"This is what scares people about getting involved in this: It's not the end-all," said Leiter, who now works for MLB Network and YES. "Even if you create the perfect mechanics, that's still not going to stop, for some, the inevitable."
The Mets, like most teams, do not submit their pitchers to individual biomechanical evaluations. But Alderson said the team was using TrackMan, a 3D radar system that measures, among other things, release point and arm extension. The Mets also use biomechanical video evaluations on draft prospects, and are developing a proprietary system that would identify possible risks for their pitchers.
The rest is guesswork.
"We've said, 'Look, we're not going to increase our guys by more than 30 or 40 innings per season,' and that's where we get our innings limit," Alderson said.
"Now, is there any science behind that? There's no real science behind it. It's really about historical reference, what you see that some young pitchers have done from one year to the next, and whether they've gotten hurt or not gotten hurt. It's not scientific, but you're trying to learn from history."
Plenty of young, hard throwers, such as Detroit Tigers star Justin Verlander, have avoided injury while working more innings at a younger age than Harvey. The Mets do not know why that is, and they may never know.
"It could be physiology, it could be the DNA and the molecular structure of his ligament as opposed to somebody else's," Alderson said. "Somebody has 10,000 innings in their elbow or shoulder and somebody else has 1,000. If you treat everybody like he's only got 1,000, you don't have a baseball team. On the other hand, if you treat everybody like they've got 10,000, you don't have a baseball team, either."
Stephen Strasburg, Chad Billingsley, Grant Balfour, Fernando Rodney, Francisco Liriano, Gavin Floyd, John Lackey, Jake Westbrook, Darren Oliver, Mike Pelfrey, Jason Motte … Carroll, the injury expert, said pitch counts and innings limits made sense as a primitive protective measure for amateurs. But in the majors, he said, with coaches, trainers and video technology, it is ridiculous. Because each pitcher is different, Carroll said, teams should invest more in uncovering each pitcher's physical limitations.
Yet, even a detailed report on a pitcher's danger points might not make a difference. Pitchers tend to fall back on comfortable mechanics, even if they might be the wrong ones.
"The occasional thing we see is that we can't make changes," Carroll said. "Let's say we knew that [Seattle Mariners ace] Felix Hernandez's weird head movement was bad, and there was a 50-per-cent chance that he would blow out or go on the shelf, would you change it? He's really effective now. Would you want to be the guy who messed him up?"
Harvey's simple, smooth mechanics gave the Mets no cause for alarm, and his forearm issues were never serious enough to require an MRI exam before last Monday.
The important thing, Alderson said, is Harvey did not try to compensate for his forearm discomfort by putting added strain on his shoulder. Pitchers with serious shoulder injuries rarely come back the same. Pitchers with UCL tears usually do.
"If we did an MRI on all of our pitchers every year, how many of those guys do you think would have a partial tear? A lot more than we know have it now," Alderson said. "Then the question is, 'Okay, now that we know that, what do we do?'"
Decades ago, the Mets would have never known the specific injury and Harvey might have fizzled out. Whatever course they choose now, they know, almost certainly, he will come back as dominant as ever.
It just might take awhile.Report Typo/Error

Questions & Answers
Cute, trendy and personalized
My boyfriend likes to drink out of mason jars. I figured he could use a personalized set.
"Can you do half of the glasses one initial and the other half another initial (in such a case where there are two people living together)?"
Hello roseboone, We appreciate your inquiry. Unfortunately, these items come with one letter per set. We hope you have this information helpful. Thank you for shopping with us.
"Do they come with lids and are they freezer-safe?"
Hello bombina, These do not come with lids. If the purpose of using these is just for a frosted glass, then yes, they are freezer safe. If they intend to use them as storage, I would recommend that they go through the proper canning process and then they would be freezer safe. We do have another item onsite that does come with lids… Overstock sku: 15122959.Thank you for shopping with us.

I was thinking nude pumps if I can't find any silver ones. I want pictures of shoes please. by the way this is for prom.
Most Helpful Girl
nude, silver or peachy pink pumps would look fabulous with that dress. even a glittery gold color would look cute.
I don't know what you have for accessories but adding a pop of color would probably look nice too. like a hot pink color! or if you wanna do complimentary colors, a vibrant blue color might look cute. i think thats a fun idea.
^this color blue would go good maybe.
just an idea ^_^11|00|0

Hobo Journeyman enlists the help of Nick Cave, KT Tunstall and Ruby Turner to deliver winning album.
Every generation needs "the man" who has lived through it all and Steve Wold, aka Seasick Steve, is it for us. Tragic upbringing? Check. Lived as a hobo in his teens? Check. Worked a variety of odd jobs (including a bonafide cowboy) before settling as a fulltime musician? Check. He released his debut solo album Dog House Musicin 2006 and Jools Holland made him the cat's miaow. And rightfully so. His current offering is some good listening indeed. Featuring guest appearances from KT Tunstall and Ruby Turner and writing credits and vocals from Nick Cave, the album generates pure foot stompin' and knee slappin' enjoyment right from the opening title track. He sings about ankle biting bugs called 'chiggers' in a way that makes you reach down and scratch your own. Recorded at Leeders Farm in Norfolk it sounds rural, you can even hear birds singing in the background when Steve is telling the story 'My Youth', a twelve-minute spoken word piece that closes the album. You feel every song was the first take and that the man himself is right there in front of you with his slide guitar and baseball cap. 'Nevermind', the best track, also contains the best quote: "If you are going to sing a song about drinking wine you should drink some wine." I like his style.

I am trying to build a raised vegetable garden and I am looking for the materials that I need. Any suggestions?
By Jedev from Savannah, GA
Add your voice! Click below to answer. ThriftyFun is powered by your wisdom!
My husband and father built one for me years ago. Used (I think) 1" X 12" boards, sunk some posts and used L-brackets to secure everything. At least, that's what I think they did. I don't even think about the construction anymore . . . I just use it!
Best of luck with your raised bed. Our clay soil is terrible, and it's nice to have good soil to work with so the plants can thrive!
Search for my garden. I have a picture there, kffrmw88, or email me at kffrmw88 AT graceba.net I'll send the picture & info to you. I have a garden all the time, good luck.
I use blocks holes turned up.I plant onions,garlic, herbs and flowers in the holes.I have had gardens, with diff. woods. The block will last, almost forever.Besides you can replace one, easy and cheap. Alot of times you can get them free, just look around.
This is just a tip if you have multiple raised beds beside each other. I like to kneel between the beds and rest on the edge of the beds to weed them. Just make sure the beds are far enough apart to be able to kneel comfortably.
If you can get hold of old tires these stacked two or three on top of each other make great raised beds.
If you are using tires, plant flowers only. The contamination from the tires is horrific.
All I have is raised beds all over my yard. I can mix vegies and flowers or leave each to themselves. I use the ends of my metal clothes lines as who uses to the ends anyway. One end has a U shaped and the other rectangle. They are 8 foot planks from the local Menards lumber store UNTREATED or get the 'green' safely treated. Mine are 4 foot wide. Can reach from either side. You may need 1-2 planks high, depending on what you are doing.
I use squares here and there in the yard, a wrapped on around the house 20 inches high, 3 feet deep to the house foundation. So that is about 40 feet long.
I plant similar vegies together or look in a plant book which ones are best next to each other. I also do not give them the row separation like the packets say. My rows in my peas, beans, lettuce, spinach are 6 inches apart. I run fencing wire up between the rows and train the vegies to follow. Makes for almost NO weeding. The fence is about 3 feet tall.
I turn over all beds where vegies go every year spring and fall. The fall lets the leaves 'rot' and the spring gets peat, sand, a couple bags of new dirt to each one and sheep manure. That component doesn't get TOO HOT for then, other types of manure can.
My tomatoes are planted in the U garden, along with the other vining--cukes, zucchini, squash, etc. Each gets their own tomato cage to crawl through. So they can be closer. I trim tomatoes so they stay at least 10 inches up from the ground. AIR is important. Also when you water, you lay the garden hose down and let it run. Do not water from the top.
I train the cukes up the cages and around the clothes line end. Put the same fencing in between the kinds of vegies too. An old crib rail standing on end trellis! Inbetween the U I put down cement blocks to help keep mud to a minimum. And weeds don't grow that way.
I have many layers of starting vegies, when one crop is done, I have another growing 4-6 weeks behind it. I eat spinach, peas, lettuce, etc till it freezes and snows. Vegies that are fall types (beets, carrots, etc) I plant on an end.
I use lots of bone meal, miracle grow, mix in your compost, the sandbox goes in at fall, etc. Doesn't have to cost alot. Oh, the most important thing I find for my garden is EPSOM SALTS. Magnesium sulfate. Has the directions on the package for gardens. Anything vegie flowering needs a boost weekly of this.
I rotate and transplant the flower beds as the season goes on. My herb garden is at one end between the vegie side of the yard and the flower side. I put my herbs in bottomless margarine tubs (3# size) and they stay contained instead of spreading where I have to fight with them. Then my labels (attached to skewers) stay put too. No question for anyone looking for something in the garden.

U.S. Examines Whether Ahold Deliberately Inflated Rebates
LONDON - U.S. regulators are examining whether some of the supplier rebates booked by the U.S. Foodservice unit of Dutch retailer Ahold NV were deliberately inflated, people familiar with the situation told The Wall StreetJournal.
LONDON - U.S. regulators are examining whether some of the supplier rebates booked by the U.S. Foodservice unit of Dutch retailer Ahold NV were deliberately inflated, people familiar with the situation told The Wall Street
The U.S. attorney's office in Manhattan and the Securities and Exchange Commission, which have started investigating accounting irregularities at Ahold, were tipped off by company investigators about the deliberate inflation of some of the so-called promotional allowances, or bonuses, that food makers pay to distribution companies to promote their products, these people said.
While details of the way in which the rebates may have been deliberately inflated were unavailable, it appears that U.S. Foodservice in some cases booked larger amounts for promotional allowances than the actual payments made, said one person familiar with the situation. "This, in effect, was not an accounting mistake," this person said. "This is a deliberate inflation of the receivables."
Ahold said Monday that it had overstated its 2001 and 2002 earnings by at least $500 million, owing to the booking of inflated rebates.
The scrutiny of the rebates at the U.S. Foodservice unit is part of a broader look the SEC and the U.S. attorney's office are taking at the parent company and its accounting for some of its many acquisitions over the past five years.
The Washington Post reports this morning that the "criminal and regulatory investigations are likely to go beyond the specific accounting irregularity that led to the restatement -- how U.S. Foodservice booked rebates from suppliers -- to a broader look at the company's finances."
In other related news, the top management of Ahold's supermarket business in Argentina, Disco, resigned on Thursday, Reuters reports.
Ahold has said its investigation into irregularities raised questions about the legality of some transactions at Disco.
Disco said in a statement that the executives resigned to "help the company's operations continue their normal course."
Ahold entered its Disco joint venture with Argentine group Velox Retail Holdings in 1998. Last year, Ahold was forced to buy out its partner and take on its liabilities after Velox defaulted on its debts.

PHILADELPHIA – In a rare one-match weekend for the University of Pennsylvania volleyball team, the Quakers will play host to Princeton on Saturday at 6 p.m. Penn defeated the Tigers (3-1) earlier this season in both team's Ivy opener at Dillon Gymnasium. Saturday's tussle with the Tigers will be broadcast live on the Ivy League Digital Network.
About Penn
The Quakers (9-10, 3-4) are coming off a tough stretch in which they dropped a pair of Ivy matches last weekend. It began with a 3-1 loss to the defending Ivy League champions, Yale, on Friday night and wrapped up with a sweep to Brown on Saturday. The back-to-back losses marked the first time the Red and Blue didn't split a weekend series since Ivy League play began.
Against the Bulldogs, Penn dropped the first two sets but stormed back in the third -- jumping out to a 9-1 lead and winning the set, 25-18. Although the Quakers dropped the fourth game, they showed tremendous resolve in one of the most thrilling sets of the season.
After Yale jumped out to a 5-0 lead, the Quakers closed quickly to tie the score at 10. Following a Penn timeout at 13-13, Yale rattled off seven points in a row to take a 20-13 lead. The Quakers responded with a 9-1 run of their own to take a 22-21 lead. The Bulldogs, however, rallied to win four of the next five points to take the set, 25-23.
Senior Alexis Genske tallied a team-high 14 kills against Yale, and recorded her third consecutive double-double with 13 digs. Fellow senior Ronnie Bither also notched her third straight double-double with 36 assists and 21 digs. Classmate Michellie McDonald-O'Brien was the most efficient performer for Penn, hitting .375 with 13 kills.
Bither remained one of the top contributors in the loss to Brown, as she extended her double-double streak with 29 assists and 16 digs against the Bears. Genske and McDonald-O'Brien, meanwhile, each chipped in 11 kills. The loss in Providence was just the fourth time Penn has been swept this season and second time in conference play.
Earlier This Season
Genske led the way with 14 kills and 14 digs in a 3-1 win over Princeton on September 25. McDonald-O'Brien hit a team-high .471 with nine kills, while sophomore Kendall Covington tallied 10 kills of her own.
The Quakers battled back from a 22-16 deficit in the fourth set against the Tigers, evading three match points, to take the final frame by a score of 26-24. With the victory, the Quakers began the season 1-0 in the Ivy League for the first time since 2009.
Scouting the Tigers
Princeton (8-8, 3-4) also dropped a contest with Yale last weekend, as part of a Friday-Saturday split. The Tigers preceded the 3-0 loss to the Bulldogs with a five-set victory over Brown on Friday. Junior Brittany Ptak recorded a career-best 17 kills in the win, while Kendall Peterkin added 14 of her own.
Peterkin ranks fifth in the Ivy League in kills this season, averaging 3.17 per set. Junior Cara Mattaliano has also been enjoying a solid campaign for Princeton, compiling averages of 2.82 kills and 3.16 digs per set. The Tigers are currently tied with Penn in the Ivy League standings at 3-4.
Series History: Princeton leads, 46-30.

Model XXL - Feeding Automat
The trough is with its oval shape designed, so that the pigs have a short and easy access to the drinking nipples. The feeder has a large feeding plateau in the middle. By pushing one of the two steel pipe in the middle, the animals can easily dose the feed in appropriate quantities. The trough is made of rust and acid resistant polyester concrete. The rounded surface makes it easy to keep clean. There is no space between trough and floor, so there is no cleaning underneath the feeder. The distance between the pipes and plateau is easily adjusted with a robust handle placed at the top of the funnel. The frame is attached in the middle of the trough, so that the construction is strong and stable. If the feeder is placed in the pen, the feeder comes with stainless angle-brackets. Water nipples are adjusted from the factory and should not be changed.

2nd pregnancy after csection
Question my sister is having pain where her incision is from her csection with Jonah. I told her it's probably from the new baby stretching it, she says it only hurts when she sneezes. Is there any cream or something she could put on it to make it better?
its very normal due to uterus stretching again...may be just a good moisturizing cream or lotion, but i would ask her doctor first
The pain in mine comes and goes. Normally it's been followed by my stomach stretching. I know it's normal but it's very uncomfortable. I guess my scar is pretty long compared to most so there is a lot of pain there some days. There is a lot more of a pressure feeling there too than with my son.

Lava equipment are various pieces of recolored armor dropped by Dagannoth Supremes . The set includes:
These pieces of armor are all equipped in the weapon slot and give no bonuses. They are commonly found in drop parties hosted by players with little experience who do not know they are dropped by monsters.
Each armor piece is ranked 3 on the Rarity Scale (click for more info).
Drop Rate
After killing Dagannoths for a while, these were the drops I collected:
Gauntlets: 13 (35%)
Shields: 8 (22%)
Helmets: 6 (16%)
Boots: 4 (11%)
Chainmail: 3 (8%)
Platelegs: 3 (8%)
These resutls show that the legs and body are the most rare, and gauntlets and shields are the most common. The results are not perfect, and the more drops I collect, the more accurate these rate will become. Note: These are only the drop rates from when the Dagannoths drop lava equipment. They do not drop lava equipment 100% of the time. Roughly 1 in every 5 to 10 kills yields a lava equipment drop.

Is that your charge?
Here is what the law actually says:
Public Act No. 11-71 AN ACT CONCERNING THE PENALTY FOR CERTAIN NONVIOLENT DRUG OFFENSES. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives in General Assembly convened:
Section 1. (NEW) (Effective July 1, 2011) (a) Any person who possesses or has under his control less than one-half ounce of a cannabis-type substance, as defined in section 21a-240 of the general statutes, except as authorized in chapter 420b of the general statutes, shall (1) for a first offense, be fined one hundred fifty dollars, and (2) for a subsequent offense, be fined not less than two hundred dollars or more than five hundred dollars.
(b) The law enforcement officer issuing a complaint for a violation of subsection (a) of this section shall seize the cannabis-type substance and cause such substance to be destroyed as contraband in accordance with law.
