Reverse is the nineteenth chapter of Darksome Knights, the ninth chapter of Book 2: First Impressions, and the first part of the First Fight saga.
The group walked slowly down the main streets of Ba Sing Se, the members of Team Avatar for some reason walking a few steps away from the Five Pillars.
"Why do you think they're avoiding us?" Geolda whispered to Haewa.
"I don't know."
"You sure that they're not who they say they are?" Mai asked Zuko.
"It's possible." Zuko replied, looking suspiciously at the Five Pillars.
"I'm fairly certain that they're leading us into a trap." Aang told Katara.
"Something about them just doesn't seem right."
"Do you think they're spies?" Toph nervously looked at Sokka.
"If they are, we need to get rid of them now." Sokka said, a hand on his sword hilt.
"Right." Suki opened her fans.
Team Avatar turned to the Five Pillars, weapons and elements at the ready. The defenders were stunned at this betrayal and dashed dowwn a side alley, the attackers in hot pursuit.
Aang launched three air punches at Noeseong, who redirected the strike at a nearby building. Zuko threw two fire blades at Geolda's plant shield, but Hwasan used a fire shield to save her. He then released a stream of fire on Zuko. Katara and Mai launched daggers at Sigan who deflected them with an air slice. Toph threw rocks at Haewa who held his staff out and created a light shield.
"How can he do that?!" Suki wondered.
"I don't know." replied Sokka. "But now I have an idea."
Standing back to back, Toph used an earth launch to catapult Sokka and Suki over the Five Pillars' heads. They landed on the underside of a roof hanging over Haewa's head. They pushed off of the roof and streaked straight down to Haewa, weapons drawn, finally about to make the killing blow and end the battle.
Haewa threw his staff off to the side and dropped down flat on his back.
Suki and Sokka fell closer ad closer.
Haewa closed his eyes.
Suki's fans stuck into the earth on either side of Haewa's neck. Sokka's sword fell right next to his torso. Haewa opened his eyes to see how close he had been to being murdered. He began standing up when...
The Pillars and Team Avatar looked up at the roof Sokka and Suki had launched off of. A large crack had formed in the roof from all the deflected attacks. And now...
...it was collapsing on them.

Hudson Bay is a gigantic body of fresh water in northern Canadia. Home only to polar bears and Maple-leaf-waving hermits, the Hudson Bay is certain death for any red-blooded American.
Discovery Of Hudson BayEdit
Hudson Bay was first discovered by the feared Great Colbear. After the rarely talked about War of the Bear Beavers, the Great Colbear defeated the resident Beavers, and sent the survivors to live out the remainder of their lives in Regina, Saskatchewan.

Joe Kelley
Joseph James Kelley
- Bats Right, Throws Right
- Height 5' 11", Weight 190 lb.
- High School St. Thomas Aquinas College (Cambridgeport)
- Debut July 27, 1891
- Final Game October 3, 1908
- Born December 9, 1871 in Cambridge, MA USA
- Died August 14, 1943 in Baltimore, MD USA
Inducted into Hall of Fame in 1971
Biographical Information[edit]
"Kelley was one of the greatest outfielders of all time. He was rated the kingpin of the Orioles outfield. He covered a lot of ground and was one of the best hitters in the league." - Dutch Brennan, former major league scout
Joe Kelley was a top hitter for a long time, hitting .317 lifetime in the majors. He was frequently among the league leaders in several offensive categories, especially in triples, but rarely led the circuit in any category, which perhaps led to his not being named to the Hall of Fame until many years after his death.
Originally a pitcher, Kelley played for the Lowell Lowells of the New England League in 1891 and was 10-3 while hitting .331 with 21 stolen bases. He reached the majors in the later portion of that season as a 19 year old outfielder. He began 1892 back in the minors with the Omaha Omahogs and hit .330 before being purchased by the Pittsburgh Pirates. Late in the year, he was traded to the Ned Hanlon's Baltimore Orioles for George Van Haltren.
Kelley was the Orioles regular centerfielder in 1893 before being moved to leftfield the next season. That year, he hit .393 and had an on-base percentage over .500 for a 161 OPS+ while scoring 165 runs (but still finishing a distant second behind Billy Hamilton's 192 runs). He had one of the finest days in baseball history on September 3rd, going 9-for-9 in a doubleheader with four doubles and a triple.
Two years later, in 1896, Kelley had a 164 OPS+ with a .364/.469/.543 batting line in a less friendly offensive environment and led the National League with 87 stolen bases. After hitting .352 in his six full seasons with Baltimore, he was sent to the Brooklyn Superbas prior to the 1899 campaign, and the team went on to capture pennants in 1899 and 1900.
After the 1901 season, Kelley jumped to the Baltimore Orioles of the American League. However, after the Orioles were purchased by NL owner John T. Brush, Kelley was released and joined the Cincinnati Reds as player-manager for the next three and a half seasons. After remaining with the club as a player in 1906, he managed the minor league Toronto Maple Leafs in 1907. He returned to the majors for one more year in 1908 as player-manager of the Boston Doves.
Following his big league days, Kelley managed the minor league Toronto Maple Leafs from 1909 to 1914, was a New York Yankees scout from 1915 to 1925, and was a member of the Brooklyn Robins coaching staff in 1926.
Although no player is truly similar to Kelley, the three most similar players (as of October 2008) are all Hall of Famers: Hugh Duffy, Kiki Cuyler and Edd Roush. Duffy was a contemporary.

A study recent done by researchers has concluded that chronicle pulmonary diseases may increase the risk of lung cancer. However the researchers did not revealed the diseases which may cause lead to tumor.
The study was done by researchers in Lyon, France, working with International Agency for Research on Cancer. They have studied the data from seven similar studies on patients in Europe and Canada.
The researchers have studied more than 25000 people. It has been found that patients suffering from chronic bronchial ailments (chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema) are at higher risk of suffering from lung cancer. The researchers have also revealed that if a patient suffers from all the three mentioned diseases, instead of one, they are at three-fold more risk of developing cancer.
It has to be noted that the study didn't associated the world's second most life claiming disease, the tuberculosis with pulmonary cancer. Even the most common bronchial disease Asthma was also associated.
Ann Olsson, the scientist associated with this study has mentioned that the associated diseases, the bronchitis, pneumonia and emphysema seem to have similar physiological origination and this could be the reason for the cause of pulmonary tumors. She also said that knowing the risk factors will help the Doctor's to diagnose their patients better.
It can be understood that if the risk factors of pulmonary diseases like Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Emphysema can be avoided, then lung cancer can also be avoided. Smoking cigarettes is the leading cause for bronchitis and if avoided, the risk of developing lung cancer can be reduced to huge extent.
The research and its findings were published in the journal American Respiratory and Critical care Medicine.

Security software benchmarking model
: 10 March, 2009
(Company News)
Cigital and Fortify join forces to develop enterprise software security benchmarking program
Fortify Software and Cigital have announced the release of the "Building Security In Maturity Model (BSIMM)," the industry's first-ever set of benchmarks for developing and growing an enterprise-wide software security program.
Based on in-depth interviews with leading enterprises such as Adobe, EMC, Google, Microsoft, QUALCOMM, Wells Fargo, and Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC), the BSIMM pulls together a set of activities practiced by nine of the 25 most successful software security initiatives in the world. Unlike some industry standards, BSIMM is a structured set of practices based on real-world data rather than philosophy and ideas. BSIMM provides insight on what successful organizations actually do to build security into their software and mitigate the business risk associated with insecure applications.
"Microsoft's Security Development Lifecycle (SDL) was one of the first real enterprise software security methodologies, and we are always eager to share our ideas and best practices with the industry," said Steve Lipner of Microsoft. "BSIMM provides a public 'yardstick' for measuring the progress of any organization's own software assurance program."
"Software security has turned the corner from a good idea to a business necessity. The industry has finally reached a point where enough real experience has been accumulated to compare notes and talk about what works," said Dr. Gary McGraw, CTO of Cigital and author of Software Security. "Using BSIMM, an organization can determine where its software security initiative stands, figure out how to evolve its initiative strategically, or even get a brand new initiative off the ground. BSIMM is a tool for identifying realistic business goals and implementing those technical software security activities that make the most sense for an organization."
"Virtually every organization today relies on software to operate, and at the same time the threat to that software is at an all-time high," said Dr. Brian Chess, co-founder and Chief Scientist of Fortify Software. "Businesses need software that doesn't leak millions of identity records, gin up huge legal liabilities, or allow secrets to fall into the wrong hands."
Chess, McGraw and coauthor Sammy Migues collected data on each initiative's software security activities for strategy and metrics, training, standards and requirements, security testing, code review, etc., and uncovered a number of common themes among each of the successful initiatives, including:
* The necessity of a Software Security Group: Each of the nine enterprises has a designated group of software security personnel—the SSG—tasked with carrying out and facilitating software security. Average SSG size is just over one percent of the size of the software development organization.
* Advocacy over audit: Successful SSGs, even in regulated industries, always emphasize security education, technical resources, and mentoring rather than policing for security errors and handing out punishments.
* Use of automated technologies: Each organization performs automated code review and deploys black box testing tools, but use of these technologies requires considerable SSG know-how.
* Training for development: All organizations have an institutionalized security training curriculum for programmers, QA engineers, and project managers.
"I was surprised by the amount of common ground discovered between the financial services organizations, ISVs, and technology companies in the BSIMM study," said Jim Routh, CISO of Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation (DTCC). "All software security initiatives are by no means identical, but these findings demonstrate that an organization isn't going it alone when it comes to software security—you can learn from your peers. The BSIMM encapsulates important lessons from the best programs around."
"Comprehensive software security involves a combination of people, processes, and technologies, and it almost always requires some change to the way the organization operates," said analyst Joe Feiman of Gartner. "As software security comes of age, using a maturity model will only help to accelerate your enterprise security initiative." The BSIMM is the first such maturity model created entirely from real-world data.
Over the next several months, Cigital and Fortify will gather data from other leading software security initiatives to enhance the study and provide additional insight on trends and activities particular to certain vertical industries and company sizes, among other factors.

June 12th, 2012
DON'T go to Dr. Pryor for dieting or health advice because he's gained 200 lbs. in the last 2 years! He told me to stop drinking soda and I paid him 85.00 for that advice! Dr. Pryor wasn't even listening to me but he sure wanted to show off his intelligence in talking about what he's done for other patients in other countries! I just wanted him to diagnose me properly but, what he told me had NOTHING to do with my issue! When he DID finally listen to me, his eyes were resting on my chest the whole time! The WORST part was that he was actually picking his nose a few times and then wiped it on scrub pants! I thought I was going to puke when he examined me right after that. Dr. Pryor walked out of the room without washing his hands before the next patient I assume. I NEVER had a doctor act this way infront of me before! VERY UNPROFESSIONAL! ARROGANT and BAD HYGIENE!

Outstanding clinician with values. Takes the time to understand your issues. Would fully recommend this physician.

Great doc, great staff
I couldn't disagree more with the first critique. A doctor's visit shouldn't be an 'in and out' type of visit. The fact that Dr. Pryor takes his time means he is thorough. His follow-up procedures are great. For instance, labs come back abnormally, his staff calls and they either relay his instructions, or they set up another appointment so the doctor, himself, can speak to you. His staff has called me just because they were concerned that I might be having a bad day. They all remember the names and the medical problems of each patient. They don't try to con you into making unnecessary appointments, and they don't charge for things like prescription renewals. My first doctor in Idaho did just that. A doctor's visit isn't and shouldn't be akin to a drive-through fast food business. As far as Dr. Pryor's diagnostic expertise is concerned, he's been right on the money with me, and I've had some fairly serious medical problems. And, yes. There is a 'dress code' of sorts. He is uncomfortable with people showing up dressed immodestly. I don't blame him. So, don't show up with your boobs hanging out or your shorts cut so high you look like you're prepped for a GYN exam. Use common sense and be considerate of others. No one, including doctors, office staff, nurses, or other patients, wants to see all your body parts or your underwear. It's just common courtesy. Bottom line - I think Dr. Pryor and his office staff are caring people, and professional people. I couldn't ask for more.

Nasty nurses.
The overall time there was ok. Dr. Pryor's nurses "try" to be nice but are overbearing and loud. They are both old and act like they tell him what to do. Dr. Pryor is nice but I don't think he's a good doctor. He spends lots of time with you but you can't understand what he's trying to tell you. You just want to get in and out and know what's wrong but he goes into to much detail about stuff that doesn't matter. Dr. Pryor didn't diagnose me right because I never got better until I went to someone else. He seems good with kids and my little girl thinks he's nice but your not going to get better seeing him. it's a WASTE of money! Dr. Pryor has a "gowning policy" . I guess it means if you come in not decent or your hanging out of your clothes his nurses will put a gown on you and I like that because that means he's not a creep or a pervert and is just trying to be a doctor. But your still not going to get better.

2. The Red Back Spider Gotten from its official name, this creepy crawly is a dark insect with a red spot on its back, the red spot is typically lengthened fit as a fiddle. This bug is another Specie endemic in Australia that is discovered around the world. Its venom is psychotic and causes outrageous torment so better keep away from this creature in the event that you wish to take care of your next enterprise.
3. The Stone Fish In the event that the Red back is the lord of the insects, the Stone Fish is the ruler of a wide range of fishes. It is an Australian fish yet at the same time the most unsafe fish on the planet. Better not be misdirected by its coral or cut stone appearance, in light of the fact that once you ventured on it you are liable to loss of motion, stun, or demise if not treated early.
Video Link : http://iviralvids.com/man-no-head-walking/
4. The Great White Shark Normally referred to is Australia as the "Incomparable White" found all through the bank of Australia and yes this shark is additionally discovered around the world. Their serrated teeth let them appreciate eating fish, little sharks, dead animals and people. Have solid faculties of notice so in the event that you drop a blood, rapidly discover your pontoon or board to make a beeline for the drift to maintain a strategic distance from serious physical harm.

Equity investors that focus on immediate income often favor high yields over the quality and growth of the stock. However, in the long run, this approach is shortsighted and can often bring in less than paying attention to steadily increasing and sustainable dividends.
Sustainability over Immediate Yield
Many analysts and advisors have been pointing out for years that in the long run, the growth and sustainability of a fund's dividend can matter just as much if not more than current yield.
The credit crises of 2007 to 2009, when the majority of companies cut their dividends due to recession, caused a fall in payouts from many funds, while some large companies such as banks eliminated dividends completely. This affected all investors but the make-up of the fund dictated how quickly it would recover once the situation stabilized.
A good example is to compare two equities funds before the crash. Cullen High Dividend Equity which displayed a good 3.4% 12-month yield seemed like a better option than Vanguard Dividend Growth with a yield of just 1.8%. However Cullen's dividend took a major dive after peaking at $0.53 per share in 2007, and did not recover for seven years when it finally reached $0.66.
In comparison, Vanguard Dividend Growth Funds much lower dividend at the time reached $0.292 per share in 2009. It fell for a fraction in 2010 but it quickly rebounded in 2011 to an ever better $0.313 payout. Finally, from 2008 to 2014 its payout increased 6.7% annually while Cullen's went up by only 3.4%.
Prioritize Quality over Yield
While funds composed of low risk, high quality stocks may seem a bit boring, but in the end it is the amount generated over time is what really matters. The funds with dividends that recovered fastest after the crisis were primarily those with holdings of high quality, lower risk stocks which highlight dividend growth over current yield.
These funds are made up of companies that focus on profitability, competitive advantage, return on capital, and dividend and balance sheet metrics. If all other factors are equal, companies with a low return on capital tend to have lower dividend growth potential than companies with higher returns so it pays to look at the make-up of any fund before investing.

"Amazingly kind/knowledgeable staff"
About: St Austell Community Hospital St Austell Community Hospital PL26 6AD
Posted by Westy
I arrived at this hospital at 08:00 last Sunday morning. I was seen after about 10 minutes by a nurse who quickly diagnosed a very unusual condition. Immediately the nurses telephoned for a doctor to see me. The doctor arrived in 10 minutes later and confirmed the initial diagnosis and gave me the correct medicine. At 08:00 I was dehydrated and in pain from 48 hours of fever, aches, unable to swallow due to swollen glandes. I was actually curled up in a ball, unable to recite my name clearly. By 15:00 the same day I was able to drink a little, walk, and talk a little. I was also massively anxious to the fact that my wife could give birth to our baby the same day. The staff were also very kind/reassuring to my son and wife. As someone who is usually very fit and well, I read about the health service much more than I use it. If only the media focused on the brilliance of people that make up our NHS. I take my hat off to the expertise of the staff in this hospital. Miracle workers. Thank you! David W P.S. Please, if possible, pass this message onto the staff that looked after that morning. They need to know just how valuable they are to our society!

I have been trying to figure out the shape of my body for such a long time already.. Just no luck.
So I thought maybe a community of people could help me! I kind of have an idea but still not 100% sure.
My measurements are 36-29-39
my shoulders measures 39.
Simpler terms: bust: 36
waist: 29 (sometimes 30)
upper hips: 39
Shoulders: 39
or instead of getting all technical here, you can take a wild guess! Lol. That works too. ;) thanks peeps.

RocketCat and SuperDog 2 was a %100 completed sequal to release in 2005, but was cancelled due to the DS release, and mild reviews for the first game. For a long time, the game was regarded lost media and very few people got their hands on physical cartridges. Others played it on emulators, as somebody leaked the UK version of the rom online. So far, only 3 US cartridges, 1 UK cartridges, 3 JP cartridges, and 1 JP production cartridge exsist. The game was later released on Virtual Console for the RocketCat and SuperDog 10th anniversy along with a 3DS game.
Everyone in the Earth is on a spacecraft to find a new planet after Earth was taken over by robots. They try to find many planets, but they soon find out that Planet Zeurk (Peculiar Planet) is running out of natural rescourses, and the two races must compete to find a planet that they can find home. Once again, it's up to RocketCat and SuperDog to save the day and find a new perfect planet!

He's also a couple dollars shy of $400,000 in winnings in the past 2 1/2 years. Not too shabby. En route to all of this success, Christie has relied heavily on soft plastics. Here are his five favorites. Photo: David Hunter Jones 2 / 6 1. Yum Christie Critter This creature bait is of his own design and is his choice for when the spawn is on as well as postspawn. "This is also my choice for sight fishing." Photo: YUM 3 / 6 2. Yum Christie Craw This is his go-to soft plastic, but it's usually riding on a 1/2-ounce jig. "This is a good prespawn bait, and in prespawn I want to be flipping a jig rather than a soft plastic," the two-time Elite Series champ says. "I can flip it around wood, swim it around grass, and fish rocks with it. There's lots you can do with that." Photo: YUM 4 / 6 3.

Question: The article In Bronx Hitting Home Runs Is A Breeze
The article "In Bronx, Hitting Home Runs Is A Breeze" (USA Today, June 2, 2009) included a classification of 87 home runs hit at the new Yankee Stadium according to direction that the ball was hit, resulting in the accompanying data.
b. Write a few sentences describing how the observed counts for the five directions differ from what would have been expected if the proportion of home runs is the same for all five directions.
View Solution:
a. Assuming that it is reasonable to regard this sample of 87 home runs as representative of home runs hit at Yankee Stadium, carry out a hypothesis test to determine if there is convincing evidence that the proportion of home runs hit is not the same for all five directions.
b. Write a few sentences describing how the observed counts for the five directions differ from what would have been expected if the proportion of home runs is the same for all five directions.

Calcutta, Aug. 30: Thirteen-year-old Mary Ann Gomes (six points) of Frank Correa Academy shot into sole lead after the sixth round of The Telegraph Schools Chess Championship at Gorky Sadan on Saturday.
A pack of four Rahul Sangma, Minhazuddin Ahmed Sagar, Joydeep Dutta and C.R.G. Krishna are breathing down her neck with 5.5 apiece.
Playing her favourite Birds opening, Mary Ann continued her winning spree by disposing off Soumya Thakurta of St James in a mere 23 moves. MaryAnn next meets top seed Rahul Sangma in a crucial encounter which could well decide the fate of the championship.
Sangma survived a scare against Anurag Jaiswal of Children Seminary. The top seed at one time was in a losing position as his king was exposed to a dangerous attack. But Anurag faltered and allowed Sangma to escape with a draw.
Second seed Akshat Khamparia of Madhya Pradesh went down to Minhazuddin of Bangladesh in a Kings Indian defence. Third seed Tejdeep Adabwala of Andhra Pradesh, too, was beaten by compatriot C.R.G. Krishna, the 14th seed in 29 moves in a Slav defence.
Sumit Shaw of St Lawrence held Fide-rated Debayan Majumdar of St James to a draw. Ten-year-old Bitan Banerjee of Baruipur HS did well to share the point with Souparno Ghosh of Don Bosco in a Reti opening.
Defending champion Joydeep Dutta outwitted Shamima Akter Liza of Bangladesh in just 27 moves in a Slav defence.
Anurag Jaiswal (5.5) drew with Rahul Sangma (5.5); Mary Ann Gomes (6) bt Soumya Thakurta (5); Akshat Khamparia (4.5) lost to Minhazuddin A. Sagar (5.5); C.R.G. Krishna (4.5) bt Tejdeep Adabala (4.5); Joydeep Dutta (5.5) bt Shamima Akter Liza (4.5); Rajib Dhar (5) bt Priyangshu Saikia (4); Sumit Shaw (4.5) drew with Debayan Majumdar (4.5); Anwesh Upadhaya (4) lost to Indradeep Giri (5); Kiran Mohanty (4) lost to Ramkrishna Perumalla (5); L. Romen Singh (5) bt Trailokya Nanda (4); Souparno Ghosh (4.5) drew with Bitan Banerjee(4.5); Debaditta S Biswas (5) bt Debanjan Das (4); Nazir Arifeen (4) lost to Suman Basu (5); Sandipan Chatterjee (5) bt Diptanu Das (4); Payel Guha (5) bt Kh Sanjoy Singh (4).

In Land of French Fry, Study Finds Problems
By TIMOTHY EGAN,
Published: February 7, 1994
OTHELLO, Wash.— More than 30 years ago, the king of fast food hamburgers and the patriarch of potatoes came together for a meeting that would change the American meal and create a new breed of corporate farmer.
Ray Kroc, founder of the McDonald's nationwide restaurant chain, and J. R. Simplot, the food processing and chemical magnate in Idaho, forged a deal to make perfect french-fried potatoes -- upright, bright, cheap and free of molds. They would look the same whether they were sold on the Jersey Shore or in a drive-through in Idaho.
The potatoes would grow in the dry, volcanic soil of the inland Pacific Northwest, then be washed, sliced, cooked and frozen in factories in this region before being shipped to fast-food outlets from sea to shining sea.
The combination of cheap Federal hydroelectric power and irrigation water made this desert region perfect for the operation, and by the mid-1980's, more than six billion pounds of potatoes were being processed by 10 big factories owned by different companies in the Columbia River Basin, providing America with most of its french fries. High Cost of Uniformity
But the process of making one fry look exactly like another has come at a big cost, according to a new report on the potato processing industry.
The demand for uniformity has created an industry that is heavy on chemicals, wastes half of every potato it processes and pollutes underground water supplies, according to the Columbia Basin Institute, a research group in Portland, Ore. Its study was financed in part by grants from the Ford Foundation, the Aspen Institute and the Bullitt Foundation of Seattle, which is concerned with environmental issues in the Northwest.
"If you want to produce most of America's french fries this way, you should have to pay the costs -- social, environmental and other," said Bill Bean, founder of the institute and co-author of the study. "We've got a uniform french fry, but it came with a lot of hidden costs."
Industry leaders say much of the criticism is wrong or misleading. They say they have cleaned up many of the environmental problems, investing millions of dollars to better dispose of the water used to wash and cook a perfect fry. They say they provide more than 4,000 year-round jobs, among the best-paying in the low-skill farm sector. And they say they have kept alive rural communities that otherwise might have had severe unemployment and a declining tax base. Cheap Power and Water
The french fry producers here have prospered in part because of public works projects that provide cheap electrical power and bring water to what was once an unpopulated desert.
More than 50 years ago, President Franklin D. Roosevelt envisioned the Columbia Basin as a haven for Dust Bowl refugees who could farm the desert with the help of irrigation water provided by Federal dams and reservoirs. The laws were written so that people who own and run small farms would be the primary beneficiaries of Federal water projects coming from Grand Coulee Dam and other big dams on the Columbia River.
But over the last 30 years, small farms in this region have all but disappeared, replaced by large corporate operations that can afford the heavy fertilizers and chemicals needed in growing the thick Russet potato used for making french fries. Subsidies Criticized
Before the mass marketing of frozen fries, about 1,000 farmers grew a variety of potatoes on 20,000 acres in this area; now, half as many farmers grow mostly Russet Burbank potatoes on 115,000 acres.
The irrigated farm land in the Columbia Basin is second only to the Imperial Valley of Southern California in size and the amount of support it receives from the Federal Government. State funds from Washington and Oregon were also used to lure the processors here.
Mr. Bean contends that these subsidies are "an unnecessary and gratuitous use of public funds."
The french fry producers say they probably would have come here even without the government enticements. But as long as the subsidies were offered, they said, they took them.
"We would be the first to admit that we're not perfect," said William Voss, president of McCain Foods, a large processor that received a $5 million loan from Washington State. "But this is an industry that has brought thousands of well-paying, year-round jobs to this region."
Community leaders here tend to agree with Mr. Voss. Fast Food Love Affair
And indeed, what the Government has helped to produce, in large part, is an industry that might never have come into existence if Americans did not have such a love affair with burgers and french fries. Before the perfect fry was created, most fast food restaurants employed teen-agers to wash, peel and cook fresh french fries.
Now those jobs are done in foul-smelling factories here in the Columbia Basin, where each plant uses more than two million gallons of water a day and the fries are frozen when they leave the factory.
A stench hangs over the factories, a residue of cooking oil and processing. A request for a tour was turned down by industry officials, who said they did not generally allow outsiders to see to how french fries are made.

|ClassNotFoundException when using war file (Tomcat 3.2.3)
|Wed, 31 Oct 2001 15:45:57 GMT
Hi, I am trying to use a war which has some jar files in it for my web application in tomcat 3.2.3. The war file is structured as follows WarFile.war Web-inf/lib/jarfile1.jar Web-inf/lib/jarfile2.jar Web-inf/lib/jarfile3.jar When running the application I get ClassNotFoundException for the classes in the jar file. Also I noticed that empty directories (that follows my package structure) were created under lib directory. E.g. I see the following empty directories %TOMCAT_HOME%/webapps/webapplication/Web-inf/lib/examples/addressbook/..... A workaround is to place the jar files in the tomcat/lib directory. This will result in the the jars to be added to the classpath and everything works fine. I was wondering if anyone knows about a cleaner solution or point out if there is something that I need to do to get this working (perhaps something in manifest file or web.xml file etc.). Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Abi -

Let's just say my fashion is basically nonexistent. I grew up just buying the most simple clothes, most of them being loose for comfort. IE, I'm one of those guys that wear slippers to classrooms. I've even appeared quite a few times with just a sweater and pajama pants...hmmm maybe that's also one reason why I fall asleep a lot, lol.
When I look into my closet all the 97% colors that are there are Grey, Black, White, Navy Blue.
For shirts I have like around 90% black and grey shirts.
Should I worry about what I wear more.
I don't know. It's just interesting to see a lot of people being very presentable. I only do it when I have a gig or meeting, etc.
Most Helpful Guy
I used to care less about fashion than I do now. When you are dressed well, people treat you better. You also tend to have a better opinion of yourself. Yes, clothes do make the man. I suggest you go into a Nordstrom if you have one near your house. They have the best salesmen around. It is expensive there, but they can get you fitted and at least introduce some good style choices for you. It is amazing what a transformation can make to better clothes. Save the PJ's and slippers for the house, that's what I do. :)00|00|0

This is a fascinating thread. I studied psychology at uni for three years, and dumped it because (a) statistics and I did not get along, (b) the blatant ethnocentricism of a lot of theory and research really, really pissed me off.
It sounds to me (and I am both not a professional and only marginally informed) like the imaginary friend is a kind of cognitive 'tic,' something that's part coping mechanism and part a result of the way you think anyway. When I was studying psych I was seriously fascinated by cognitive psychology - the study of *how* we think, the way we process information, the way we decide things. It sounds very dry but it was amazing to think of all the stuff that goes on in our heads. For instance, think about all the sensory information bombarding you right now - the sensation of your clothing on your skin, every sound drifting around us from your hands on the keyboard to cars outside, all the light and movement from your computer screen, the walls around you, maybe your cat demanding attention. All of that goes on and our brain filters and decides what is important, what it will see, what it will hear, what it will feel.
A large part of that seperation is learnt and developed as we grow up. For instance, we learn how to perceive depth and distance and our bodies in space. It's part of the reason why very small children move really awkwardly. And, when you think about it, we have to do the same thing with our sense of self, the idea that you are you and I am I and the cat is that cat and we're all different and discrete. We have to learn that other people and things see, feel and do things differently to ourselves. I think that's why kids empathise so strongly with inanimate objects and so on; we just haven't learned that they don't have feelings like us.
So, in my very, very uninformed opinion, part of the imaginary friend has to do with the cognitive experience of self. Tehn again, I could be wrong.
Freakiigreeniiz, it definitely sounds like you have a fascinating, creative mind. Maybe you could find a good psychologist to talk about this stuff, not to make yourself 'better' (because there sure as hell is nothing sick about being different) but it would be neat to explore your own mind and way of thinking with someone who knows what they're talking about.

Studio Ghibli Announces Next Film, Miyazaki Directing More
by Alex Billington
September 28, 2009
Over on the Asian Movie Pulse blog (via SlashFilm) they say that Isao Takahata, one of the co-founders of Studio Ghibli, has announced that he will be directing a new feature-length animated film. Takahata will direct a new film called Taketori Monogatari, or The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter in English, which is an adaptation of the classic 10th century folktale (known as The Tale of Princess Kaguya). He'll be breaking his 10-year hiatus since last directing My Neighbors the Yamadas in 1999. They also mention that Hayao Miyazaki is "in discussions with studio staff to make two more feature-length films in the next 3 years."
Takahata also directed Grave of the Fireflies, one of my favorite Ghibli films, so I'm happy to see him back again. The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter is about a mysterious girl called Kaguya-hime, who was discovered as a baby inside the stalk of a glowing bamboo plant. She is said to be from Tsuki-no-Miyako ("The Capital of the Moon") and has unusual hair that "shines like gold." Sounds like another wonderful Japanes folk lore story that will make for a great Studio Ghibli animated film. I'm already looking forward to this as well as whatever Hayao Miyazaki ends up directing in the next few years, as I just love that man so damn much!
Miyazaki's Ponyo just hit theaters a few months ago. I interviewed the legendary animator back in August as well - read that interview here. I'll be doing my best to keep everyone updated on all the latest with Studio Ghibli, Hayao Miyazaki, and The Tale of the Bamboo Cutter, since I love their films and can't wait for more.

text: HomeRegistration IndustryEmergency Budget, How will it affect you? Number Plates June 23, 2010 Registration Industry Emergency Budget: How will it affect the motorist? George Osbourne promised at the beginning of yesterday's emergency budget that he wouldn't hide the hard choices from the British people. He certainly didn't, but the motorist was hit no harder than anyone else. The Chancellor promised that £4 out of every £5 required to reduce the national deficit would be found through spending cuts rather than tax rises, but it is the headline tax rise which will impact on the nation's drivers. As some predicted, Mr Osbourne chose to increase the rate of VAT from 17.5 per cent to 20 per cent from January 4 2011. This will have an effect on the purchasing a cheap irish registration, a cheap £50 registration number costs £50 plus £8.75 VAT plus £80 TOTAL £138.75, however in January with VAT increase it will cost £50 plus £10 VAT plus £80 Transfer Fee TOTAL £140. The price at the pumps will increase thanks to the rise, but there is no accompanying rise in fuel duty beyond that which was already expected. The additional 2.5 per cent will also impact on the cost of buying a car, as well as having one serviced. As an example, the price of a £16,000 Ford Fiesta 1.4 TDCI (one of the country's most popular cars) is set to increase by £400. In line with the Conservatives pre-election proposals, the Chancellor suggested that the impact of oil prices on the price at the pumps would be examined to see if there's a way of stabilising them in the future. Whether this results in the adoption of a fuel duty stabiliser remains to be seen. The Liberal Democrat policy of a rebate for rural areas will also be studied. The future of the Department of Transport's budget will be detailed in October, but with the unprotected departments facing a 25 per cent cut in their spending it is safe to assume that some road building projects will have to be shelved.

(Baltimore, MD - February 27, 2013)
A new full service grocery store located in the heart of the East Baltimore community, will open its doors next month. The store, named "Apples and Oranges Fresh Market," will open to the public at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, March 9th with a ribbon cutting attended by local politicians and community leaders. Located at 1900 N. Broadway Street, the store will offer fresh and healthy food options. Apples and Oranges Fresh Market boasts 5,600 square feet of retail space, and features fresh produce, fresh dairy, meats, frozen foods and a deli. Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be offered as well as a robust prepared foods menu and catering.
Baltimore politicians and community leaders say the market will bring more than fresh food to the East Baltimore neighborhood. It will bring a healthier lifestyle. "The opening of Apples and Oranges Fresh Market is fantastic for East Baltimore," says City Councilman, Carl Stokes. "This particular location is in the midst of a food desert," he says. He points to food deserts being a challenge in underserved communities like this one. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), scientific studies have suggested that food deserts may negatively affect health outcomes.
"The residents in this area will have a full service grocery within walking distance or a short drive from their homes that will give them access to wholesome fresh food and that will save them from using public transportation or excessive gas," he says.
Nina Harper, Executive Director of The Oliver Community Association says: "We are often very concerned about the health of our residents." Gaining access to fresh foods can be a slippery slope for the residents of the three buildings in her community. Many of them are elderly and have limited to transportation. "We need access to healthy food."
The market is being brought to East Baltimore by businessman and community leader, Erich W. March, Vice President and General Manager of March Funeral Homes, a nationally recognized family-owned business that has operated in East Baltimore for nearly 60 years, and his wife, Michele Speaks-March, a long time development professional who has conducted successful fundraising campaigns for a variety of organizations, including that of Irvine Nature Center in Owings Mills.
The owners are positioning their market as one that will not only offer healthier food options, but one that will serve as a resource for information on how to eat healthier. Their store also includes an activity room where they will host speakers who will address a variety of topics, including how families can plan for healthy affordable meals. Apples and Oranges will serve as a healthier option for those working in the area near its North Broadway location. March and Speaks-March hope to communicate a sense of ownership in to the community and commerce centers in the area.
"We want our customers to enjoy the fresh food we have to offer at Apples and Oranges Fresh Market," says Speaks-March. "We also want them to regard our market as a resource for discussions about health and nutrition."
"Just as being in good health has a wholesale effect on an individual's well being, we believe that providing a community with better food also leads to a healthier, happier community."
Stokes hopes that healthier community will translate into dollars one day as well. "The fact that this market is going into a site that has been vacant for the last decade gives a promise to other business 'Investors – this is a viable neighborhood for the investment of dollars.'"
Apples and Oranges Fresh Market is a full service food market providing healthy food options in the following categories: produce, deli, fresh bread, and prepared foods. For more information on Apples and Oranges Fresh Market go to www.applesandorangesmarket.com. Or call 410-235-2900.

DANCE; Stepping Into a Mystical Realm
By WILLIAM LITTLER; William Littler is dance and music critic of The Toronto Star.
Published: January 27, 1991
TORONTO— As little Buttercup reminds us in "H. M. S. Pinafore," things are seldom as they seem. Indeed, as Robert Desrosiers might be quick to add, we are seldom as we seem.
In "Incognito," the full-length dance piece he has chosen as the sole vehicle for his company's Manhattan debut engagement at City Center, which begins Tuesday and runs through Feb. 3, the Toronto-based dancer-choreographer even goes so far as to argue that the face we wear to the world amounts to a disguise, until we become in perfect harmony with our soul.
Pop theology? Choreography from a studio pulpit? Yes and mostly no. There is -- and long has been -- a mystical streak to the work of Robert Desrosiers (pronounced de-rose-YEA), for whom prayer and meditation are avenues to understanding. But in theatrical practice, the 37-year-old choreographer is more entertainer than preacher and in religious terms, more heretic than saint. His particular heresy might almost be called Manichaean, in that opposing forces, whether good and evil or light and dark, usually do battle with each other across a spiritual landscape.
And what battle! This is where Desrosiers the man of the theater comes in, filling the stage as Hieronymus Bosch filled canvas with all manner of bizarre images, some distortedly human, some poised between the iconographic worlds of the monster gardens of Bomarzo and the animated cartoons of Walt Disney.
"Incognito" plunges the audience into just such a maelstrom of imagery as its central figure (portrayed by Mr. Desrosiers himself) loses his mind in the middle of a formal dinner party and sees the world disintegrate before his very eyes into an abyss of smoke and sensations.
Smoke and mirrors I nearly wrote, for in its original form "Incognito" -- commissioned by the Calgary Olympic Arts Festival -- was to have involved a collaboration with the Canadian magician Doug Henning. Called away to India on another project, Mr. Henning withdrew and was replaced by a second magician. But the hybrid nature of the new work -- part dance theater, part magic show -- troubled Mr. Desrosiers, despite its initial success. (Writing in The Times after its 1988 premiere, Anna Kisselgoff called "Incognito" "a hypnotizing spectacle.")
"In Calgary, some of the images were not in the right order," he said in a recent interview, "and the final scene was too long."
During the course of two subsequent revisions, the choreographer has virtually eliminated the formal magic, changed some of the music (the score is by his frequent collaborators, John Lang and Eric Cadesky) and reordered some of the episodes for greater narrative clarity.
Not that "Incognito" could be described as akin to a story ballet. Essentially a dream merchant, Mr. Desrosiers habitually relies on the structurally loose, free-associating paradigm of dreams in assembling his imagery. His own dreams, one might add. "Incognito" is frankly autobiographical, relating to periods in the choreographer's life when he felt his mind, even his career, to be out of control.
The career has been a singular one in Canadian dance. Enrolling in 1966 at the National Ballet School in Toronto and speaking scarcely a word of English, the 13-year-old Montrealer initially seemed headed toward a traditional slippered life in classical ballet. He even spent a year as a member of the National Ballet of Canada before embarking for Europe, encountering such iconoclastic personalities as the English mime artist Lindsay Kemp and finding his own identity as a creator-performer.
Moving back to Toronto, he performed with such groups as Ballet Ys, Dancemakers and Toronto Dance Theater before the 12-member Desrosiers Dance Theater, which he founded in 1980, emerged as the primary vehicle for his creations. The work was usually produced on a pinch-penny budget, with the choreographer filling the hours past midnight by sewing his own outlandish costumes, until an invitation arrived from Erik Bruhn to mount a large-scale project for Mr. Desrosiers's balletic alma mater.
"Blue Snake" (1985), with its critically applauded procession of fun-house images of cone-headed, spine-backed, otherworldly creatures, thrust upon the National Ballet one of the most profound image changes in its history.
"Blue Snake" also thrust Mr. Desrosiers into the spotlight glare of an international career. Keeping up with that career's imperatives, which range now from taking his company to Hong Kong to choreographing for the Lyons Opera Ballet, might well drive anyone to the brink of mental breakdown. But in "Incognito," which itself will travel to the Spoleto Festival in Italy in July and through the United States during the next couple of years, the central figure emerges from his ordeal in a healed state, having taken the necessary journey within himself. And for Robert Desrosiers, taking that uncharted journey of self-exploration is what making dance is all about.
