Al Hale was a Manticoran citizen and an officer of the Royal Manticoran Navy.
Biography Edit
In 1904 PD, he held the rank of Commander and served as a naval attaché in the Manticoran embassy on Haven just prior to the outbreak of the First Havenite-Manticoran War. He disagreed with the Office of Naval Intelligence's opinion that Hereditary President Harris would not seek a confrontantion with Manticore. He estimated that the pressure Harris was under might push him into seeking just that confrontation as a diversion from Haven's economic problems.
He knew Commander Zebediah O'Malley, who in turn knew Hale not to be an alarmist. Rear Admiral Mark Sarnow knew Hale as well and was impressed him. Hale was soon proven right, as the war began only a short time later. (HH3)

Birth Story for Avery James Gier, for those that are interested
So on October 8, 2013 I got the awesome news from a little stick that I was carrying a baby! On December 26th, I found out said baby was a boy, and by January 20th, 2014 Matt and I had picked out the name Avery James Gier. This was the start and progression of some of the most awesome moments of my life, and without a doubt, the highpoint of my pregnancy.
You see, in the highlights and big moments of my pregnancy, when i entered third trimester at 27 weeks, they say it's the beginning of the end, and for me, it was the beginning of the end of what I had planned for regarding Avery's birth. At 27 weeks gestation, I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes, and what was a stress-free and amazing time in my life, became quite stressful, and difficult to deal with. And, much to my dismay, would end the wonderful plans I had for a midwifery attended birth at a freestanding birth center. And so, at 34 weeks I was sent to an OB/Gyn from my midwives, and told that I could not go full term. Induction would take place at 39 weeks.
So we were set to induce on Friday, June 13th, 2014. Unfortunately, as I was getting excited to become a mom, and coming to terms with an induction I didn't see as necessary, I felt like total crap all of Saturday, decided to take my blood pressure when nothing else seemed to be causing it, and found it to be elevated. We called my doctor, who told us to go into labor and delivery for an evaluation, and after about 5-6 hours in labor and delivery, we were sent home, blood pressure stabelized at normal, and told to come back if there were any sudden facial swelling, headache that doesn't go away, ect. So we went home, and I kept a loose eye on my blood pressure, but for the most part didn't think too much of it. And then I woke up Monday morning with what my husband called my "chipmunk" face. So, into labor and delivery we went, and this time I was admitted, and held for 24 hours for observation, durring which time they did a 24 hour urine collection, multiple blood tests, and about a hundred blood pressures. At this point, my blood pressures had established themselves largely over the 140/90 safety threshold. Tuesday, after the 24 hour urine came back, I was diagnosed with pre-eclampsia, and discharged to go home, and come back for my regularly scheduled prenatal appointment and biophysical, something that I was having to do weekly for gestational diabetes.
Having done my research, and realizing how potentially dangerous pre-eclampsia is, I re-scheduled my ultrasound for an earlier time, and planned to demand induction that day (Wednesday/yesterday, June 11th) or, to be kept at the hospital until they do induce, under strict and frequent observation.
Turns out, that wasn't necessary. My biophysical showed no measurable amniotic fluid. I was sent directly down to my OB, who cut her lunch break short to examine me, where I found out my progress through early labor was now 4cm, 80% dilated, -2 station and midposition for the cervix- which was just fantastic for an induction. She then promptly told me to get dressed, and that with no measurable fluid showing, the game had changed and I was to be induced immediately. I told her no worries, we were on the same page, hopped into my wheelchair-transport, and began to go from confident I'm-going-to-get-induced-today to holy-crap-I'm-getting-induced-today-what-did-i-get-myself into? Well, they wasted no time after admission in getting me started on pitocin, which I did get them to turn down, on occasion, but I was not allowed to have it turned off and go on my own at any point throughout labor. Which sucked. I tried to talk them into it, but the lowest they would go is a 4. Hubby and I played some cards waiting for the contractions to kick up, and then my mom, grandma, mom-in-law and cindy showed up, and chatted until 3 hours later my doctor came in to see how I was progressing, and when she found me at 5cm, broke my water while she was at it. That was when the fun and games ended, and as they say, the work of labor began.
My doula showed up shortly afterwards, and I have to sat that having her there was a godsend. Hubby was quite intuitive until she showed up, and was able to help me through the first really intense contractions. When Jessica (my doula) showed up, my legs had started to become real distractions from the contractions, which were indeed getting more and more intense. She, thanakfully had ideas where hubby and I had none- and I was able to get to 7cm without using pain meds, but eventually I decided that pain meds, but not the epidural, was the only way I would get my mind away from my poor legs, and focused on the contractions as it should be. So, I asked Jessica what options, other than an epidural, did I have, that would either not cross the placenta, or wear off before birth. She suggested Stadol, being sure to say it'd just take the edge off, and so I trusted her and got 1mg of stadol. That helped exactly as I wanted, and I was able, finally, to relax between contractions- maybe even faling asleep or into a trace-like state, between contractions- though to be sure, there wasn't a lot of 'between contractions' at that point. At some point, and I can't remember why, after the meds I had another cerivical check that put me at 8 and I, after digging in myself to ask if that meant I was in transition or not- as I didn't feel all that different from previously, that I was told I was in transition, and my doctor showed up, along with whatever nurses, and everyone prepared for my Avery's delivery. I was told that I needed to get to a 10 before pushing, and had to use a squatting bar for a few contractions. They finally gave the ok to push at 9.5cm, and at that point I'd gotten to where I couldn't really not-push anyways.
Pushing was definitely my favorite part. Oh, it was hard, but it was so rewarding! For once the contractions led me to do something, and had a bit of a rest between them! YAY! From the talk of everyone in the room, I guess I was a pretty awesome pusher too. I don't know how long I was pushing, but it doesn't seem like it was that long at all and then... Then my baby Avery came out in just two pushes (after crowning) and was placed on my chest. He pretty much immediately started crying, and his cord stopped pulsing as well, so that was cut and he and I were left to bond while the placenta was delivered, which was just a very unique experience, but not at all unpleasant.
Avery and I were allowed about an hour or so together before they took him to clean up and weigh him- all in-room, but I was left in the birthing bed to get stitched up, because Avery had his hand up with his head when he came out so I did tear, but really I don't think that has caused too many problems really, and then cleaned up myself.
When stats were calculated/measured, Avery James Gier came into this world through induction with stadol on June 11th, 2014 at 10:31pm. He weighed 6 pounds 14 ounces, and was 20 inches long.

and inside of thinking about god is wondering what it means to be alive at all, and why is everything so goddamned mysterious.
People have all kinds of whys they are absolutely certain are the real whys, but I don't believe them. The answer to why is not something that I will know is true from logic or explanation, but something I will feel. I'll experience truth rather than think it, or I think so.
I am 31 years old. I was born on a small island in the Atlantic. Since then things have been confusing, but I'd like to give a report of what I've found out about god and about being alive.
The first thing is my awe at being here. What I mean by that is I woke up this morning and looked around. Morning light was flooding in through the window, (or whatever light does, no one's really sure). I am alive this morning. I have this body. It is breathing. Air is being brought into it and absorbed through lungs. Air is then pushed out, stuff my body doesn't want. The first thing I do in the morning is see. I have these two exquisite, tiny browny-green jewels in my head that draw in light and make a very good picture for my soul. They can move around and the picture that my soul sees is incredibly good, better than the best photographs in the world ever.
I'm also hearing things and feeling things; Ears and nerve endings, respectively. I can't smell very well because I smoke tobacco, but I can smell things sometimes, which is when little particles go up my nose and turn into… smells. It's weird to find I can't describe a smell as a sensation. It's like trying to describe the colour red.
I can sense something more too. Before I woke up, I was in a dream. A dream is a thing that is a lot like being alive, in fact I would say that it is a kind of life that you lead in addition to the awake life that you have. In a dream you find a world happening and you respond to it, and it responds to you. The world is almost always stranger than this world and very much more inconsistent. In a dream, I've gotten off a subway at a huge boat in the middle of the ocean. The dream world did not think it was necessary to explain how the subway got to the middle of the ocean, or why a boat needed a subway stop.
In a way, I could claim to have done all kinds of shit in my life. Once I was on Venus. Venus has a lot of Russians on it, I can tell you. I've seen ghosts. I was shot by a man outside a convenience store. I once met William S. Burroughs. I was once hugged by a blue heron.
I can fly, too.
When you are dreaming, you believe that what is happening is really happening. You don't think that you are hallucinating or making it up. When I was on Venus, I thought I was really on Venus. What's interesting is that when you dream, you don't ask obvious questions like, "How the fuck did I get to Venus? Why am I not asphyxiating? Why didn't the Russians tell anyone they are on Venus?" It doesn't occur to you to question reality. There is a variety of dreaming called lucid dreaming when you realize you are awake. These moments feel very powerful, because you sense that you are actually in control of the reality around you. It seems like you can find secrets then.
Lucidity is defined by this little computer as being, among other things, "rational, and mentally clear, especially only for a period between episodes of delirium or psychosis." I sort of mean that, but I would prefer to articulate "lucidity" as clarity, or an awareness of the context in which one finds oneself. So you are being exceptionally lucid when you say, "I am alive." You are being exceptionally unlucid when you say, "may I take your order?"
Lucidity means to be aware of a more fundamental reality than is presented, and to be conscious of oneself and recognize the other selves around you. But this is a matter of degrees as well, as it is discovered that knowing the underlying truth is something that goes deeper and deeper as you look.
Anyhow, I'm starting to wander off, it's been interesting, but let's return to being alive.
I woke up out of a dream and into this morning, a morning that is holy because it is the only time this morning will ever be, this morning has never been and will never come again. This morning that is the mother of tomorrow morning and the grandmother of the day after that. And I realize very quickly that I wasn't dreaming, that I was actually alive, and the world was not shifting and changing wildly. Unlike my dreams, it's as though I can hear the world breathing too. Somehow, I sense life.
Being alive is such a simple fact that it's significance is mostly taken for granted. The rare time that you hear someone make reference to it is when it looked like they were going to stop being alive but came out in one piece. "I'm alive, I'm alive!" People shout after a car accident or a bomb, and everyone understands they're amazement and happiness. But if you wake up in the morning and say, "I'm alive!" people will look at you very curiously and say, "yes, you are."
For me, being alive is a profound thing to be. It seems to me to be an actual miracle. If we define a miracle as an exceptional event that defies what is commonly accepted as ordinary, or an event that is divine in nature, then I think waking up in the morning, being alive and being conscious of being alive, is miraculous.
So I wake up and look outside, and light from the sun floods the world. There's a big green tree, and wind is waving the big green branches of the tree and it makes a sound between a roar and a hiss. My eyes and ears tell me this, and something in my soul knows that this is not a dream. And I ask, "What's that tree doing there? What's a tree doing being a tree?"
Here's the other significant part of waking up in the morning alive and not dead: for some reason I'm aware of it. For some reason someone inside my eyes and ears, someone inside the neural networks that take in and process the signals sent by these symphonic nerves, is getting all this information, all this incredibly complex technology, and is going, "that's a tree." That someone is the awake part, the living part. That is the soul. I imagine the soul to be a giant peeking through a keyhole.
Whoever you are that is reading this, there is an awake part of you that is experiencing these words and their meaning. If for a moment the belief systems, emotional dynamics and other personality structures, (you too, instinct) could be quiet for a second. I would like to say hi to the soul reading this:
This awake, experiencing part is miraculous. It means that life is not mechanical. It means that life is alive. There has always been a movement to prove that life is not awake, that it is a machine, that we are machines. Science, unfortunately, has been guilty of this, as we all know, giving people a disturbing feeling that since all their actions and impressions are controlled and possibly created by complex biological systems, that in the end they are just very strange robots.
Before science, religions around the world pulled the same shit on people. They informed people that their being alive was completely irrelevant unless very specific rules were obeyed, and even then being alive was only interesting insofar as it helped one god or another.
Life has mechanics, but life is not dead like a machine or a statue. That you read this and wonder is all the evidence you will ever need.
So here I am, I've proven that I can wake up in the morning and stare out a window. At this point I say,
Then I say,
"Good morning, everything."
Everything about being alive is amazing. I have a body. Outside there is sky. There are all kinds of beings that are alive like me but are different and not me. And where is the creator? What gave birth to all this alive? And why?
When I was born, when I was a little baby, I was still me. I had the same soul. My personality was totally different. Back then, I was a terrible writer, and I didn't understand hockey, and I wasn't a socialist. My interests back then were pooping and staring. Apparently I smiled a lot.
My soul though, was still awake. I probably wasn't as lucid; apparently it takes a couple of years for a child to distinguish between dreams and reality, which is interesting. I guess over time I got used to the idea of being human, so I went along with it and I got a lot classier once I'd accepted it. I learned that having hands could be amusing, and I didn't have to pee if I didn't want to, all kinds of shit.
It's amazing but at one time my soul was inside something about the size of my finger, and I was probably about as conscious as an acorn. And maybe if my soul had ended up in an acorn, I would have grown to accept being an acorn, and not bothered so much about being conscious of stuff. Which definitely makes me appreciate the notion that a human birth is very precious and not to be pissed around with.
I guess I wonder if at one point in the past I met god, and just forgot with being so busy growing into a human.
I've come around to the notion that since I am alive, and that the very existence of existence is essentially a miracle far more profound than dead people waking up or statues bleeding, there must be something even more awake than me that unifies and gives birth to the world. The notion of god, the creator.
I don't know what god is, or where. I'm pretty sure that somehow god is composed of everything. Things get confusing for me because it's strange that everything is somehow unified and also somehow separate. There is a me, and there is a world. There is you, and that make you an "other". For you, I am an "other."
I don't really need to answer this question, however. What I think is that god is alive, far more alive, if that's possible, and awake than I am. Somehow I am part of god, I think. So my next question is, where do I meet god, or how do I meet god? I've tried talking to him in my head, but I just end up answering myself and pretending I'm god. The closest I've gotten so far is sensing that I'm no longer playing games but am starting to push out into a sense of life that is not based on nerve endings or ideas, but on my sensation of living

Cassio sidelined for two months
Adelaide United defender Cassio wants to go to Germany to heal a foot injury that will sideline him for at least two months of the A-League season.
The creative left back has received different medical opinions about an injured tendon in his left foot.
Some medicos believe Cassio needs surgery while others maintain an operation is not required, with rehabilitation able to fix the tendon on the outside of his foot.
"This can be treated either operatively in the early stages or by conservative measures, such as physiotherapy and general rehabilitation," the Reds said in a statement on Friday.
The Brazilian defender was keen to go to a Bundesliga club in Germany with a medical team experienced in dealing with his type of injury, the club said.
If successful, that course of action would enable him to return to action within two months, the statement said.
Cassio, 31, suffered the injury in a seemingly-innocuous incident when his foot rolled during the first half of Adelaide's draw with Wellington Phoenix last Saturday.
Meanwhile, Melbourne Heart have lost experienced defender Simon Colosimo for their clash with Central Coast, but gained the perfect replacement in an unwanted Olyroo.
Colosimo was left behind as the team flew to Gosford for Saturday's match because of a knee injury picked up in training this week.
But the Heart were surprised to find that in-form defender Curtis Good - called up to the Olyroos during the week - has now been left out for the Olympic qualifier against Uzbekistan in Parramatta this weekend.

An insurance fiddle on a strongbox of gold is initiated by a scheming cabal of town dignitaries in Gianfranco Parolini's 1968 angel of death film ... If You Meet Sartana, Pray For Your Death. Into the breach steps the Sartana (Gianni Garko), the most stylish character ever to set foot in the usually grubby and sweat-drenched world of the Spaghetti Western. He takes it upon himself to serve justice upon the outlaws, Mexican bandits and corrupt officialdom, in the process walking away with a coffin-load of loot, as he influences events, turns up unexpectedly, or simply takes matters into his own hands with the silver Sharp's Derringer and Winchester rifle that play integral roles in his personal arsenal.
Ample death, ample destruction and muchos double-crossing quickly follow.
Sartana, to give it the more popular and less unwieldy title, brings together such heavyweights of the Spaghetti Western genre as Gianni Garko (Blood At Sundown, »

Sheetz Settles Tomato Lawsuit
The civil settlement leaves one suit remaining -- the convenience retailer against its former wholesaler, Coronet Foods.
ALTOONA, Pa. -- Convenience store operator Sheetz Inc. settled a key lawsuit pertaining to tainted tomatoes it sold in 2004 out of court, according to an order issued by Blair County President Judge Jolene G. Kopriva, which was cited by the Altoona Mirror and later confirmed by Sheetz attorney Gary Zimmerman.
The lawsuit, filed by Max Christian Anslinger, claimed that he became sick after consuming tomatoes infected with salmonella in July 2004, the report stated. The Ansliger case was the one of the last remaining civil suit filed against the company that stemmed from the tomato incident, according to the report. In July 2006, CSNews Online reported the company settled more than 80 lawsuits connected with the tomatoes, with the hopes of settling an additional 50.
Anslinger, a married father of twins, claimed he suffered from gastrointestinal and arthritis problems caused by the salmonella, CSNews Online reported.
The tainted tomatoes were primarily received from its vegetable wholesaler at the time, Coronet Foods, located in Wheeling, W. Va., the Mirror reported. Coronet subsequently declared bankruptcy in October 2004 after customers began filing lawsuits.
As a result, hundreds of lawsuits were filed and Coronet, the retailer's other suppliers and farmers were added to the list of defendants, the report stated.
In August 2007, CSNews Online reported that Judge Kopriva dismissed a group of tomato suppliers and farmers from the case -- Procacci Brothers Sales Corp. of Philadelphia, Consumer Produce Co. Inc. of Pittsburgh and six farms or other businesses that could have grown the tomatoes -- leaving Coronet and Sheetz as the sole defendants in the civil case.
Now, the only remaining lawsuit in Blair County is from Sheetz against Coronet for lost profits due to the incident, the Mirror reported.
Kopriva also set deadlines for both sides to complete investigations into the salmonella outbreak, the report stated. Sheetz' attorney, Zimmerman, estimated the Coronet case will be tried in Blair County in the latter half of 2008, according to the report.

Click the arrow to watch the webcast of the SpaceX SES-8 launch. Video source: SpaceX via Megneous YouTube channel.
"SpaceX Makes Its Point" is the headline this morning on Page 1 of the print edition of Florida Today.
The online version by reporter James Dean details yet another triumph for this 21st Century launch company.
SpaceX had already proven it could launch cargo to the International Space Station.
On Tuesday, the company achieved another milestone when its upgraded Falcon 9 rocket deployed its first commercial communications satellite into an orbit high above Earth, 33 minutes after a beautiful twilight liftoff from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station.
It was the third attempt in nine days to launch the broadcasting satellite for Luxembourg-based SES, one of the world's largest satellite operators, but ultimately it signaled SpaceX's readiness to take on a $2.4 billion market dominated by international competitors.
"The successful insertion of the SES-8 satellite confirms the upgraded Falcon 9 launch vehicle delivers to the industry's highest performance standards," SpaceX CEO Elon Musk said in a statement.
In the last three years that SpaceX has been launching from the Cape, I've heard all sorts of vicious false rumors spread to disparage SpaceX. A recent one claimed that President Barack Obama secretly owns SpaceX stock. (That came from a ULA employee.)
The rumor-mongering is spread by people who know they can't compete with SpaceX.
Another victory for NewSpace.
UPDATE December 4, 2013 — Bloomberg TV poses the question, "Is SpaceX a threat to Boeing and Lockheed?"

I really want to make a lemon cakes for my doctor's birthday this week and really just don't know what else I should use as a filling, because I love lemon cake just out of the oven with a cold cup of milk. I know weird huh, but for them I want something good. Any lemon cake combinations that are a hit for you guys please share. Thanks a million and one!
I use either Lemon Curd (you can find it in the jelly/jam aisle) or make lemon buttercream.
Raspberry filling ( recipe here on CC) or use seedless raspberry jam, lemon curd, lemon BC, passion fruit jam....... I'm sure there are tons more, these are just my personal favorites.
red raspberry is really popular.
Raspberry filling is nice with lemon cake.
I've used strawberry filling (fresh berries cooked with sugar/water/vanilla/thickener) and have also used lemon pudding mixed with an equal amount of buttercream as a filling for lemon cake. It softens the lemon-ness (if that's a word) of the pudding and compliments lemon cake well.
It's the perfect season for lemon cake. Hope your doctor likes it!
Thanks for the replies, but I guess I should have mentioned one of them is allergic to berries (all). I thought of strawberries too. Sorry again. But curd sounds good. Any other suggestions?
I just made lemon cupcakes this weekend. I made lemon curd from the sky high book and frosted them with lemon buttercream. They were really yummy.
I personally love chocolate with lemon.
I think a nice whipped dark chocolate ganache would be very tasty.
Other than that I wouldn't know what to use other than berry filling of some sort.
Several people have already named the combo's I like. Lemon with raspberry filling or lemon with lemon curd.
What did you decide on?
I think I'm going to do a lemon curd but I'll add a half of heavy cream to make a whipped lemon filling. Thanks to all for your suggestions.
My family loves when I use my lemon filling for my lemon meringue pies in lemon cake. But it is very lemony..
One of the most popular cakes I made for a tea house here in our town was a lemon cake. It was soooo easy - bake a lemon cake, take a can of lemon pie filling - use 1/3 of that can to fill the cake. Use the other 2/3 to mix with an 8 ounce tub of cool whip - mix it really good (it will look like it has curdled at first) then use that as the icing! Very refrshing cake and they would buy several of them every week!
Loucinda - I love your idea - sounds soooo good and EASY!!
Blueberry is also a good compliment to lemon, but I don't know if they woud be included in the forbidden "berries". Orange is also good...maybe a marmalade-type filling?
I have a kick-a$$ lemon filling recipe but I can't find it right now!! Now I'm craving lemon cake LOL!
this may sound weird but last week I ate a ginger cookie with lemon filling at costco. It was so yummy. Do you thing a ginger flavored buttercream would be good?
I already have a sever craving for cinnamon bc right now so maybe I'm just in a spicy mood.
how about coconut - I like the lemon creme idea too
Here is my Lemon filling recipe.. I HATE canned lemon filling (it tastes Canny to me)
I have won best Lemon meringue pie 3 times with this one at the county fair.
JaimeAnn's Lemon filling
1 & 1/2 cups sugar
1/3 cup plus 1 Tablespoon cornstarch
1 & 1/2 cups water
3 egg yolks slightly beaten
3 Tablespoons butter
2 - 3 teaspoons lemon rind (grated)
3/4 cup fresh lemon juice
Mix sugar and cornstarch in med saucepan, gradually stir in water.
Cook over med heat, stirring constantly till mixture comes to a full boil.
Boil and stir 1-2 minutes. Gradually stir at least half of hot mixture
into egg yolks. Blend it back into to pan and remaining hot mixture. Boil and stir 2-3 minutes longer, if you don't your filling will taste eggy. Remove from heat add butter, lemon rind, & lemon juice. Either use as pie filling or refrigerate and use to fill pastries or cakes.
Oh I forgot sometimes I layer it with a light cream cheese filling in my pies for Lemon Supreme Pie.
I bet it would be good layered in lemon cake too.
Supreme Cream Cheese Filling
12 ounces cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 cups whipped topping or whipped cream
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
In a mixing bowl, beat cream cheese and sugar until smooth. Fold in whipped topping and lemon juice. Refrigerate.
(this is OT)
Jaime.....I LOVE your apron sets!! They are adorable!
i use lemon buttercream made with lemon zest and lemon curd and it is YUMMY!!
i use lemon buttercream made with lemon zest and lemon curd and it is YUMMY!!
I mix orange marmalade with my buttercream, customers love it.
The curds and marmalade's sound good. What about other non-refrigerated fillings to go with lemon cake?
How about a lemon butter cookie layer??? Oh gosh, like Lemon Coolers(do they even make those anymore??? I could eat my weight in those!) Lemon cake, lemon buttercream with lemon butter cookie either whole or crushed up in the buttercream or bettercreme....oh yum!
I make a filling with mascarpone cheese, comes in a tub about 8oz I think with 3 tbsp or so of powdered sugar, add zest of lemon whisk it all together, then I put a thin layer of lemon curd on the sponge first - divine!
(this is OT)
Jaime.....I LOVE your apron sets!! They are adorable!
THANKS Loucinda. I have more to add to my website just waiting for my daughter to have time to be my model again..

Because they have no moving parts, they require less power, do not generate as much heat, and are not as sensitive to motion. The disadvantage is that they are much more expensive per gigabyte than a traditional hard drive.

With the changing of the seasons, many feel the desire for something new; a new wardrobe, a new gadget or a new experience. At Netentcasino.com we can't really help you to a new gadget or wardrobe, but we might be able to help you to a new gaming experience. With the start of a new month we would like to introduce you to the latest addition on planet igaming, so you might have a new player's experience.
New kid on the block Kaboo definitely want to give you a different experience. One that takes place in an obscure, parallel universe, where you don't just play games, but are on a mission to do your bit for Kaboo's community, the Boolean Brotherhood, and make big winnings. Kaboo aim to tempt with a welcome bonus of €200 and 100 free spins to join them on mission in the Kaboo universe. Their signing up process is straightforward and fun, because it's just that tiny bit different. At Kaboo you will find a great selection of Netent games including the exclusive game NRVNA and the pooled jackpots Mega Fortune, Hall of Gods and Arabian Nights. The casino is operated by the Betit Group, which also owns the popular casinos Thrills and SuperLenny, so Kaboo is expected to do very well.
If the idea of joining a brotherhood, rather than just another online casino and going on a mission rather than just playing online games tickles your fancy, than Kaboo is the place to be.
To stay with the slightly different casinos with well-designed websites, second on the list of new casinos this month is JoyCasino. JoyCasino is the online casino with the steampunk theme. Steampunk is a fantasy genre that can be considered to be the science fiction genre from Victorian times, when the future seemed bright and all technological innovation would be powered by steam. JoyCasino's site features typical retro-futuristic aspects, characteristic of the steampunk genre. The casino offer a great variety of games, including a good selection of Netent games. JoyCasino is dedicated to offering a good customer service.

JoyCasino offers a welcome bonus of 200% up to €200 and 30 free spins. The free spins can be used on Starburst or exchanged for double points or 2% cash back. If you like to play at a casino with a quirky theme, a great selection of games and competitive bonuses, JoyCasino has to be your pick.
A casino with a far less-uniquely designed website is FreeSpinsCasino. What this casino might miss in fancy design it totally makes up in bonuses. As it says in the name, this casino means business when it comes to free spins. As a player at FreeSpinsCasino you have the opportunity to claim free spins on every single deposit you make and the more you deposit the more free spins you can claim. FreeSpins Casino has a very decent selection of games including the Netent Live Casino and the Netent pooled Jackpot games. As a new player you won't receive a standard welcome bonus, but as you might expect, you will receive free spins. The more cash you put in your account with your first deposit, the more free spins you can claim. Depositing €10 gives you 20 spins, depositing €50 gives you 140 spins and High Rollers depositing €500 will receive the glorious amount of 1998 free spins. When it comes to free-spin treats FreeSpinsCasino is unique and as we all want something for nothing, do give FreeSpinsCasino a go.

Arkellis was a flower native to Skaro. The sap from this flower was used to infuse some Dalek casings. The first Dalek Emperor was enhanced with Arkellis sap. (COMIC: Genesis of Evil) The Cult of Skaro were also enhanced with Arkellis sap; by that time, the flower had become extinct. (PROSE: Birth of a Legend)
Behind the scenes Edit
According to The Dalek Dictionary, a reference source published in The Dalek Book, the Arkellis is rare and would only take root in metal.

Adventures in Databasing
Because I have nothing better to do with my time (**cough**write**cough**), I've decided to learn how to build databases using Microsoft Access 2010. I'm using a tutorial I found here. Thus far, it hasn't been a fantastic tutorial (read as: a lot of typos and consistency errors), but it's free and comes with learning resources so I can't complain too much. Not to mention, the writer did a fantastic job of making the tutorial as layman as possible, going so far as to assume the reader doesn't even know how to print a document from her own computer. In that respect, it is an amazing tutorial.
Right now, I'm taking a break, my brain hurts. I just got through the first three lessons thinking I'm going to be a diligent student and follow each step to the letter, only to realize it's covering everything I figured out on my own by just fiddling around with the program. Oh well, that's two hours wasted. Time to get drunk.
The first database I plan on making for actual functional purposes in my everyday life is going to be a story-tracker type of thing. I'll store projects I'm working on in it by title, include a summary, track them by status and progress, finish date, maybe word count (?), and, dreaming of the (hopefully near) future, even track which publishers I submitted the stories to upon completion and the date it was sent. It will be glorious! Just as soon as I figure out some of the programming tidbits…
Building it should occupy my weekend.
The writer's block I mentioned last post is still there, but it's crumbling. I got a chapter written on one story, and half a chapter written on another. So I think I'm doing good-ish. Oh well. Nothing clears the brain quite like organizing data into single-value categories.
If you do ever feel the need or simply have the desire to learn database making, I do recommend Access. It's incredibly user-friendly, and if you have a basic understanding of what a database is and how it should be set-up, you can do fun things with it. Like, track your stories…or track information in your story, maybe do a chapter database to track which characters are in a chapter, how long it needs to be, setting, tone, etc. Or you could do a character database if you have a story with an overwhelming number of characters. Possibilities are endless when you have the knowledge.
Right. Break is over.

Excel Export does not workAsked by Silviawed on March 08, 2015 at 05:16 PM
Hitting Excel Export button from submissions list view only returns an empty excel sheet.
How can this be resolved?
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
JotForm Support
I noticed that the form http://www.jotformeu.com/form/43036154049349 belongs to a different username than the one you used here.
Have you tried downloading the Excel Submission file while logged in to the form account/owner?
If not please try first, and let us see if it makes it work.
I currently did not encounter the same issue, as I was able to test download the Excel submission when I tried on my end.
Just in case the Excel submission download is still not working, can you instead try creating an Excel Report (user guide: http://www.jotform.com/help/101-How-to-create-an-Excel-Report )
and download the Excel using the Report.. the content/data should be the same.

guard the secrets of the park
especially in early spring
come prepared with bug cream!
This park is one of our favorites in the area! You'll find easy parking. Bring $3-$5 for park entrace fee - if you come by car. Right by pavilion 2 you'll find a playgroud, shaded picnic tables and a giant cluster of trees that are great for climbing! There are some interesting nature trails and you can walk, bike or run all around the park. Dogs are allowed (always on a leash).
The are lots of friendly racoons around! In one of our first visits a young raccoon came happily and sat right next to us on a bench, curiously looking at our bags! You must excercise caution at all times and not feed them but they are certainly friendly.
Right across from the park to the east you'll find the Atlantic Ocean, so you can combine the box search with some fun time at the beach!
In Hugh Taylor Birch State Park
From the center of pavilion 2
Walk 10 steps toward the other roof
Look left and you will see
The wonder of 3 ancient Live Oak trees
Through their gateway find the path
2 topless Royal Palms will be your guide
Look up don't miss the parrots
Follow the path under the shade
Cross the paved road and quench your thirst
Turn around and retrace 2 steps
To the middle of the stretch
To your right and not very far
A tree holds me in it's many arms
Try to find me!
Where am I?

Satan is a character appearing in Thomas E. Sniegoski's fantasy series The Fallen. He appears in the final few books of the series as the main antagonist.
Satan is one of many primordial monsters that existed before God called forth light. Once God issued His command "Let there be light," Satan and his fellow monsters (whom he refers to as his "brothers and sisters") were forced into hiding in the shadows until after the events of Reckoning.
In End of Days, Satan assumes the form of a creepy boy to speak with the fallen angel Lucifer Morningstar (whom he encountered before in the past) about his plans for bringing about the titular event. Later on, Satan takes possession of Lucifer's body following a battle with the angel and gathers up a large following of monsters to serve him. Later, he critically wounds Aaron Corbet and kills Lorelei.

My husband is taking his pharmacy tech certification test right now...I know he is very well prepared but I am nervous for him. He puts a lot of pressure on himself so if he doesn't pass this he will be devistated! I know he will do great...man I don't think I even get this nervous when I have to take tests! Lol
Oh wow, so exciting! Will he know the results right away?

Final Fantasy XIII-2
Can't access floors 12 or 14 in augusta tower...?
I have the access key 13, but now whenever in augusta tower (300AF) I can only go to floors 13 and 15! And there's two percent left unexplored, I know it's in one of these two floors as well. Is there any way I can get to these two floors? The guide never mentioned I'd never be able to go back to them, and I just asummed the rest of the unexplored area was on floor 13. And that I'd still be able to explore. AHHHH

Top Voted Answer
To access the 14th Floor, go to the 15th Floor and take the side elevator that first brought you up from the 14th Floor to the 15th Floor back down to the 14th Floor.
To access the 12th Floor, use the 14th Floor central elevator.

Pilgrim Lutheran Church
For the past twelve years, members of Pilgrim Lutheran Church have been organizing inspired action around climate change. Today, the Caring for Creation team is blazing ahead to address climate change at the organizational, systemic, and individual level. Pilgrim's relationship with MNIPL is longstanding and strong thanks to their participation in many MNIPL programs and teams and generous support. Pilgrim members have been active in Be The Spark workshops, Divestment Team initiatives, and the MNIPL/St. Paul Interfaith Network (SPIN) sponsored series, 'Actions at the Intersections,' in addition to mobilizations such as the People's Climate March and Tar Sands Resistance March.
A Community Power grant from the Solid Waste Management Coordinating Board helped to jumpstart action; Pilgrim hired a short-term coordinator to organize events around sustainable waste management and toxicity reduction. Through a series of four events, covering everything from harmful chemicals to composting, members learned practical ways to reduce their waste. A major building remodel challenged Pilgrim members to think beyond zero-waste systems about long-term carbon neutrality. Now, Forest Stewardship Council certified wood flooring supports their feet, a long-lasting and non-petroleum based metal roof covers their heads, recycled pews turned into chairs provide comfort during services, and low-VOC paint and carpet keeps the air happy and non-toxic.
Pilgrim members also voted to have their congregation's endowment fund be fully divested from fossil fuels over the next five years. Current efforts are also focused on spearheading the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America to divest after a divestment resolution passed at the synod in St. Paul, MN.
The Caring for Creation team infuses their work on climate change into the life of their congregation. Sustainability tips and book reviews are highlighted in the newsletter, while movie nights and book discussions engage members in meaningful conversation. In living up to their name, Pilgrim members are also connecting sermons with a series of pilgrimages throughout the city. The Green Line Pilgrimage, for example, gave members the opportunity to learn about and use environmentally-friendly mass transportation.
Pilgrim continues to explore and act on climate change in the context of a collective journey, having heartfelt conversations, passionate disagreements, and giving gentle encouragement - all in a safe environment.

Top Indian cricketers Yuvraj Singh and Javagal Srinath will be taking part in a "Brits" vs "The Rest of The World". This format will have each match consisting of four innings - two per side with each innings consisting of 15 overs - and captains have the luxury of making player substitutions to their 11-strong teams. For the first five overs of each innings only six fielders are permitted to be outside the field restriction area at the time of delivery.
Batsmen will be offered 10-run incentives for any shots that land in the upper tier, eight for reaching the middle tier with a normal six for the lower tier. "The Brits" and the "Rest of the World" will play the first indoor cricket "international" to be played in England.
The Brits led by Nasser Hussain will take on a Rest of The World Eleven led by New Zealand's Stephen Fleming.
There will be more entertainment provided to the viewing public with Wales's Pop Idol star Jessica Garlick and West End singer Steve Balsamo joining top Asian band Stereo Nation as the off-field entertainment.
Says Peter Hutton, Vice President Programming and Events - "This is a unique event and we wanted to be the first to bring this exciting concept to India. Cricket is something that is best enjoyed with little or no interruptions and with the indoor venue there will be no rain delays. In addition the tight packaging of each match into 4-5 hours of dynamite action will keep the interest alive with the youngsters and bring in even the casual observer in to the viewership net"
Along with live telecast of Formula One, TEN Sports has lined up an array of cricket, including cricket triangulars from Morocco, Classic India-Pakistan Cricket, The Sharjah Cup and The Sharjah Champions Trophy as well as all international cricket from Sri Lanka. Ten Sports will also broadcast other popular sporting events like the WWE, The English FA Cup, Manchester United Football, the WTA (professional women's tennis), ATP Dubai Tennis Open and the Ryder Cup.

Sunny Leone might not be a successful actress in Bollywood but she sure has earned some great fan following, be it her sexy looks and beauty or her past.
The industry didn't completely accept her past and this flicked in her words when she visited The Kapil Sharma Show. Her innocence and pain being the easiest thing to understand.
It happened when Kapil asked Sunny about how she felt when she was offered to do a dance number opposite Shahrukh Khan in Raees.
She replied, – "I was in shock, They called me, Sunny Leone not Sunny Deol. They wanted me so I was in real shock. But It was real and I am thankful and very happy because there are people who say a lot of actors don't want to work with me."
Then Kapil very fluently said, – "Everybody wants to work with you." To which she replied, – "I Hope So."
You can watch the whole episode here -
It's such a shame that we judge people over their choice. Being a former adult star isn't a thing to judge someone. Just because they did something they wanted to, we can't discriminate them.
No work is superior or inferior. It's the way we think about that work. Maybe, Sunny Leone did a work that no religion thinks is cultural but again, who made the religions. Us.
God is not so petty to be confined by the walls created by Religions. God is for everyone and God doesn't discriminate among us being poor, rich, black, white beautiful or ugly or what work we do. Period.
Sunny is a great person from inside and she is as much deserving to be loved as any other fellow. Everybody loves you Sunny. And time will change everything. You just keep moving forward. <3

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 31/10/2013 (1390 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
When he first arrived at city hall, Sam Katz appeared to be a no-nonsense, small-c conservative who would serve as a good steward of the public purse. Given his background as an entrepreneur, there was no reason to doubt this mayor would be cautious about the way the City of Winnipeg spent money.
That was 2004. Nine years later, things have changed.
Under Katz's watch, several major capital projects increased dramatically in cost. Winnipeg's new water-treatment plant had an original budget of $205 million but wound up costing $300 million. The Disraeli Freeway reconstruction was originally pegged at $140 million but wound up being $195 million. The Chief Peguis Trail extension was first presented as a $65-million project but ended up costing $110 million.
Although you can't blame the mayor for construction inflation or scope increases, the fact remains he was unable to prevent a combined $195 million worth of additional taxpayers' funds from being spent on cost increases on three projects alone.
No one likes to be in the captain's chair when the ship starts listing to port. So Katz embraced a new mechanism in an effort to rein in runaway spending on major projects: the concept of a "guaranteed maximum price."
In theory, a GMP places a limit on the cost of a major project.
Through a process of negotiation, a builder and a funder agree to a figure both parties believe will be high enough to cover any contingencies that may arise during the construction process.
If a construction company messes up on a project covered by GMP agreement, the builder assumes the responsibility for the additional costs. In theory, a GMP agreement is capable of providing governments with cost certainty.
But in reality, a GMP is only as good as the language in the agreement. If that language lists off a multitude of exclusions -- or if the funder makes any changes to the design of the project -- then all previous bets are off.
In other words, there rarely is such a thing as a "guaranteed maximum price." There certainly isn't in Winnipeg, where two of the biggest capital projects covered by a GMP are plagued by cost overruns.
First, there was Investors Group Field. In 2010, after the city and province wrested control of building Winnipeg's new football stadium away from Creswin Properties, the two levels of government came up with a GMP for completing the project for $190 million.
Today, the cost of building the stadium is pegged at $204 million. Changes to the original, apparently faulty design led to $14 million worth of costs above and beyond the $190-million guarantee.
Winnipeg's new police headquarters is also covered by a GMP agreement. In 2011, after $28 million in cost overruns were disclosed, the city capped the project at $194 million, based on a "guaranteed maximum price" of $137.1 million for the core construction component of the project.
At the time, Katz was confident he would never have to stand before reporters and discuss police-headquarters cost overruns again. "Any cost overruns now are the responsibility of those who are building it, not you or me or any other taxpayer," Katz told reporters in 2011.
Unfortunately, the GMP agreement covering the new police headquarters was based on a design that was only 30 per cent complete. Even worse, that design was later revealed to not entirely suit the needs of the Winnipeg Police Service -- which was hoping to place 14 separate divisions under a single roof.
In April of this year, a report to council confirmed there is a risk the final building design may result in a different, higher price. Then on Sept. 30, members of executive policy committee were informed of cost overruns as high as $17 million.
All of council will be updated about the cost overruns at the police headquarters project today at a closed-door seminar planned for 9 a.m. Daggers may be tossed at former chief administrator Phil Sheegl and project manager Ossama AbouZeid, who worked on the GMP. Blame may also be spread among the senior ranks of Winnipeg's public service.
But the ultimate responsibility for cost overruns does not lie with officials and contractors. It lies with Winnipeg's mayor, who now has less than one year to claim a legacy of fiscal prudence -- and fulfil the promise of his original candidacy, nine long years ago.

HOUSTON (The Deal) -- Midland, Texas, oil and gas explorer Diamondback Energy (FANG) agreed to buy properties for $538 million, boosting its acreage in a hot area of the Permian Basin and delivering a three times return for the private equity backer involved, according to a person close to the situation.
The properties were largely in Midland and western Glasscock Counties, Texas, Diamondback said on Monday. The company didn't name the sellers, but according to a filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, they included Quantum Energy Partners-backed Rio Oil and Gas LLC, Bluestem Energy LP and Crump Energy along with BC Operating Inc., Crown Oil Partners V LP and Crump Energy Partners V LP and their affiliates.
Quantum tripled its money on the sale, a source close to the situation said.
The deal implies $30,000 to $35,000 per undeveloped acre, the highest range of metrics seen in Midland basin over the past six to 12 months, Tudor, Pickering, Holt & Co. Securities Inc. wrote in a report. However, the firm expects the deal to be modestly accretive to its $100 per share proved, probable and possible net asset value for the company after layering in drilling acceleration and equity financing.
Topeka Capital Markets analyst Gabriele Sorbara said while the acquisition is on the expensive side at $103.46 per proved barrel of oil equivalent, $247,584 per flowing barrel of production and $27,722 per acre (after backing out a value for the acquired production), the acreage is in the core area of the play and accretive to its market metrics.
The 13,136 net acres will boost Diamondback's position in the basin to 85,000 net acres.

Chicago — The archdiocese of Chicago's strategic plan to keep its Catholic schools vital and viable emphasizes new management strategies, the need to find new funding and a strong focus on Catholic identity and excellent academics.
The plan highlights an issue facing Catholic schools nationwide: funding.
It calls for a capital campaign to establish a scholarship fund and raise money for capital needs and to maintain efforts to secure some public funding for Catholic education. It also stresses the need for increased partnerships with organizations that have supported Catholic schools, such as the Big Shoulders Fund, a Chicago foundation whose mission is to help Catholic schools in the neediest areas of Chicago.
The plan also reorganizes the Office of Catholic Schools by creating new senior management positions in the areas of Catholic identity, academics, operations and finance.
Released March 21, the plan was issued weeks after the archdiocese announced plans to close St. Gregory the Great High School and four elementary schools this year because it was unable to continue supporting them at the level needed to keep them open.
We say: Charlottesville reveals the weeping wound of racism. What do we, the American Catholic faith community, do next? Read the editorial.
Savings from closing those schools helped the Office for Catholic Schools reduce its budget gap by $10 million for fiscal year 2013, said Dominican Sr. Mary Paul McCaughey, superintendent of Chicago Catholic schools. Other savings came from the schools' efforts to reduce loans, a pilot scholarship program funded by a donor, and increased scholarships from the Big Shoulders Fund.
Scholarships can be an effective way to bring more money into the system since students almost never receive a full scholarship, McCaughey said. That means every scholarship dollar brings increased tuition funding with it.
The strategic plan was already being developed when the Office for Catholic Schools learned that it would need to make significant cuts this year, she said, but the planned changes follow the direction the office had already set of increased marketing efforts and financial management along with upholding high standards for school programs.
Those changes had started to bear fruit with increased Catholic elementary school enrollment in the city of Chicago for two straight years.
"We were already going in the right direction," McCaughey said. "Now we're taking what we were doing and putting it on steroids."
Under the new plan, schools that have required archdiocesan funding will be required to participate in the Financial Advancement with Strategic Teamwork initiative, which started last year. The initiative includes more hands-on participation from the Office of Catholic Schools in everything from the selection of a principal to setting tuition prices.
The plan also envisions expanding the Archdiocesan Initiative Model, where the Office of Catholic Schools takes over full operating authority of a school with the pastor's consent. The model started as a pilot program with 20 schools in 2010.
Schools that do not succeed in their turnaround efforts could be closed, according to the plan.
Not all schools will see such dramatic changes; schools that are self-sufficient will be monitored to make sure they meet Catholic identity and academic standards and remain financially stable.
Most Catholic high schools in the archdiocese are sponsored by religious congregations that work with the Office of Catholic Schools but are not under its jurisdiction in the same way archdiocesan schools are. The Office for Catholic Schools wants to create "associations of the Christian faithful" to take over sponsorship and governance of the seven high schools under its jurisdiction. That model has worked well for Notre Dame College Prep, which was left without sponsorship when the Congregation of the Holy Cross withdrew in 2007.
As a rule, the Catholic schools continue to be academically excellent, with standardized test scores well above the national norm in all subject areas at the third, fifth and seventh grades in 2011, according to a draft of the plan.
Most Chicago Catholic schools outperform public schools in their neighborhoods, including charter schools, although some do not. The Office of Catholic Schools will continue to work with those schools to bring their academic levels up, while maintaining the high level of instruction at the other schools.
In the area of Catholic identity, all schools are in the process of adopting a new religion curriculum and are working to strengthen the faith formation of teachers and principals. Pastors are encouraged to work to strengthen the bonds between parishes and schools.
Catholic identity is the reason for the school's existence, Chicago Cardinal Francis George wrote in his introduction to the plan.
"The Catholic schools of the Archdiocese of Chicago are centers of learning in a community of love," he said. "They are excellent educational institutions, as the following plan makes clear; but the most important lesson any of us learns is that God loves us."

Nosler Partition
I can't get these damn things to shoot, 180 gr in my 300 win mag, or the 165 gr in my 30-06. Anyone else have this problem? The 120 gr are awesome in my 25-06, but it's a freak and everything shoots good through it. In the 300 I can shoot 200 gr Sierra gamekings sub-moa and the 06 will shoot hornady 165 btsp all day. I'd always like noslers till now... Anyone else have these problems? I try to start at .050 off the lands usually, and I've moved it around about .030 either way, do they shoot better with a longer jump? Shorter jump? What do you all think? Is my 25 a bigger freak than I thought? Or or partitions just not that accurate?
I live by where they make those never had a problem then again don't use them that much. And every hunter in the area seems to love the because they are based here. I would say if you are having problems switch brands. Doesn't seem worth having that doubt of not knowing if she will go when you squeeze your trigger
Sent from my iPhone using FirearmsTalk
Did you people even read my post? I have bullets that work. Im trying to see if anyone else has the same problem or if there is something I don't know. What kinda dumbass shoots something your not sure of? Read the original post.
I have a Browning A Bolt in 30-06 and it shoots every 150gr bullet I tried at MOA or less! All except the Nosler Ballistic Tips! It could just be your guns don't like them! They can be picky things at times.....like women! Try a different powder...IMR 4350 has given me the best results in my gun.....with 150's. Maybe try changing the amount of crimp.
All of my rifles in 25/06-308-30/06 and 300WM love to shoot the Nosler Combined Technology Ballistic Silvertip bullets,but I have never had much luck with any Nosler BT bullet.It must be the copper jacket on that particular style of bullet or something,I just don't waste time on them anymore.
Hi Ropin, have you tried calling nosler to ask what they recommend ? I happen to be a fan of Nosler bullets and the partition in particular as I hunted Alaska and lived there for near a decade, everything I ever shot with a partition fell over dead in its tracks, even Dahl sheep at 700yds with my .25/06...
If you don't find the Noslers accurate enough for you, try or use what is working the best for you and the game you are hunting, the Ol confidence makes a huge difference for most folks.
I started this thread because I really like Nosler bullets. My dad has killed more elk with his old "7 em em" and a 140 gr partition than most guys have killed elk. 1 shot, they drop. Anywhere from 30 to 800 yards. I think that's why I keep trying them, even though I can't seem to get them to shoot. I've tried reloader 22, reloader 25, retumbo, IMR 7828, and IMR 4350. Maybe I'll give the good folks at Nosler a call.
When you say you can't get em to shoot...what kind of accuracy are you getting?
Best of luck to you Ropin, let us know if they get you the answers you need.
