Adriane Carr wants Vancouver declared GMO-free zone
Remember those signs proclaiming that Vancouver was a "nuclear weapons free zone"?
If Green councillor Adriane Carr has her way, perhaps city hall will consider putting up "Welcome to Vancouver: a GMO free zone" signs. Carr has put a motion on council's Tuesday (May 27) meeting agenda calling for the city to declare itself a genetically-engineered free zone.
Her motion would see the "planting and growing of genetically modified crops, trees, and plants be banned in the City of Vancouver". It would also ask city staff to "investigate the opportunities to ban the sale of GMO crops, meat, fish, poultry and seeds" in the city.
As well, Carr wants the city to ask the federal and provincial governments to introduce mandatory labelling for genetically modified organisms, and to "impose a moratorium on bringing further GMOs to market for sale until a regime of independent and transparent scientific assessment and GMO management is introduced".
"In the absence of provincial legislation, many BC municipalities have declared themselves as GE-Free zones including North Vancouver, Richmond, Saanich, Nelson and Powell River," the motion's preamble states.
On Saturday (May 24), a March Against Monsanto will begin at 10 a.m. outside the Vancouver Art Gallery.

What about declaring Vancouver a "stupidity free zone"??
I guess people will line up to be counted!!~

I am guessing Adriane Carr has read these:
"GM foods currently available on the international market have passed risk
assessments and are not likely to present risks for human health. In addition,
no effects on human health have been shown as a result of the consumption of
such foods by the general population in the countries where they have been
approved." (WHO)
"Moreover, the AAAS Board said, the World Health Organization, the American
Medical Association, the U.S. National Academy of Sciences, the British Royal
Society, and "every other respected organization that has examined the evidence
has come to the same conclusion: consuming foods containing ingredients derived
from GM crops is no riskier than consuming the same foods containing ingredients
from crop plants modified by conventional plant improvement techniques." (AAAS
"The main conclusion to be drawn from the efforts of more than 130 research
projects, covering a period of more than 25 years of research, and involving
more than 500 independent research groups, is that biotechnology, and in
particular GMOs, are not per se more risky than e.g. conventional plant breeding
technologies…Now, after 25 years of field trials without evidence of harm, fears
continue to trigger the Precautionary Principle. But Europeans need to abandon
this knowingly one-sided stance and strike a balance between the advantages and
disadvantages of the technology on the basis of scientifically sound risk
assessment analysis. (EC 2011)
"There is no validated evidence that GM crops have greater adverse impact on health and the environment than any other technology used in plant breeding…There is compelling evidence that GM crops can contribute to sustainable development goals with benefits to farmers, consumers, the environment and the economy. EASAC (2013)

perhaps Adriane should ask the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority what they think:
"There is no evidence that Health Canada approved GE foods and food crops are any less safe for human health than non-GE varieties…There is no public health reason for a ban on genetically engineered trees, plants and crops as proposed by the resolution to Council." VCHA 2012

See you at the march! Don't forget to bring your tin foil hat.
May 23, 2014 at 9:43am
This is ridiculous. Are all foods going to be inspected by government workers? The only people who benefit from this will be government workers, likely unionized.
If you don't like GMO foods, simply don't buy them. We don't need the government to regulate everyone's behavior.

How about both? One of the main things about being on .NET is both of these elements are baked in for you so understanding the distinction isn't really needed. The thing about the rails world is there is a lot more code plugins so you can mix and match these elements as needed. For ASP.NET you need to roll your own or choose from a very limited supply, which can be like rolling your own.
I have yet to actually decide if I like everything being built into one or not. At this point it really doesn't matter because I need to know the difference for rails development. The key thing to be effective in rails principles like KISS and DRY mean re-inventing the wheel is not very advisable. It is a good idea to search out plugins/gems for things you want to do. First though we need to understand the differences between Authentication and Authorization.
In the past I have often used this as a term for anything that dealt with dealing with user "stuff". The more appropriate term is "Access Control". Authentication is one part where you confirm who you are in any number of ways be it a password, token or a fingerprint. Something is used to verify you are whom you say you are.
I have read through several tutorials and sites on doing authentication and what fits my needs best is devise. I like how many of the features I want are modules that I can choose to use or not. It will also do some of the grunt work I don't really want to mess with, in the beginning, when it comes to creating controllers and views and routes. Once I messed with it a bit it was actually fairly easy to use and quite fun, if that is possible. The Railscasts videos over devise also helped a lot in figuring it out quicker.
Railscasts Videos
Introduction Devise
Customizing Devise
Authorization is when you figure out if someone is actually allowed to do what they are trying to do. This generally comes after someone has been authenticated. The best use case is the idea of roles. An admin can do everything whereas an editor can only do a subset of things. You have to check that the authenticated user is authorized to do what they want to.
Research on authorization plugins lead me to what I feel is one of the most powerful ones around, declarative authorization. It is so powerful my head was spinning in a matter of 5 minutes trying to figure out how it works. Someday I think this one will be very useful, but for now I need something easier which brought me to CanCan, which the Railscasts guy wrote. It seems fairly straight forwards and until I find a better option I will use it.
Railscasts Video
Authorization with CanCan
One of my biggest holdups when it has come to working on rails apps has been doing the Access Control element. It kind of scared me because it meant so much non-app code to write. I just want to write my application and get going on with life. It is the reason I like to work with ASP.NET MVC I can use the built-in Access Controll elements and I am on my way. Now that I know about the difference of these two elements when dealing with users I can better handle the future of development, and not look dumb when talking to people who know better. Kind of like finally understanding what opinionated software means, but that is a story for another day.

Newmarket's release of "Death of a President" apparently drew a lot more interest from the press than the public, as the pic collected $281,778 in its opening weekend on some 143 screens. That was enough for a per screen average of $1,970. The pic generated loads of publicity for its scenario, a pseudo documentary that follows the assassination of President Bush, and several major theatre chains refused to screen it. Despite plenty of talk, though, it apparently had a tough time standing out in a crowded weekend of other controversial and issue oriented pics, not to mention mixed reviews and a pretty grim hypothetical plot. By the end of last week, attention had shifted to The Weinstein Co.'s Dixie Chicks doc "Shut Up and Sing" and the fallout from NBC's decision not to air ads promoting the pic. Publicity stunt or not, it helped the movie draw $50,103 on four screens, for an average of $12,526. Tops was Paramount Vantage's "Babel," which took in $389,351 on just seven screens for an average of $55,622.

Formats: PlayStation 4
Release Date: 10/05/2016
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is like a long-term relationship, complete with both peaks and valleys. There's the honeymoon phase where things are new and exhilarating. Then comes the routine that brings with it a fair amount of work and effort. In the end, however, players will realize that similar to most relationships, the best reward comes in the form of the complete package. While Uncharted 4: A Thief's End definitely requires some work to get the reward, you'll have no regrets.
We'll begin by saying this review is based only on the single-player experience. We were unable to put ample time into the multiplayer prior to launch, and therefore cannot give it a fair assessment. That being said, players can expect to put anywhere from 15-20 hours into the story mode. More if you like to take your time and explore, and less if you are in it to power through to the conclusion. We ended up at 16 hours, landing somewhere in the middle of both speed and exploration.
A brand new adventure
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End does a masterful job easing players into the action. The first several chapters set the tone in terms of visuals, audio, and storytelling, while also serving as a tutorial to help gamers familiarize themselves with its mechanics.
As you would expect from a Naughty Dog game, the voice acting is superb, with voice actors such as Nolan North (Nathan Drake) and Troy Baker (Sam Drake) leading the way. In fact, the entire cast sets a high bar. Emily Rose (Elena Fisher) and Richard McGonagale (Victor Sullivan) aren't heard as often, but the impact of their performances is nevertheless substantial.
If judged by PS4 standards, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a gorgeous game to look at. PlayStation exclusive titles tend to be the best-looking console games around and this is no exception. It's not as dark as The Last of Us, but you can see similarities between the two games.
Judged by PS4 standards, Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is a gorgeous game to look at.
There are also gameplay similarities between Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and The Last of Us. You'll spend a lot of time boosting up your companions and tracking down crates that allow you to access objects high out of reach. There will be large portions of gameplay where you're making your way through an environment and get lost in the on-going conversation, as you did with Joel and Ellie.
However, that's where the similarities end. Drake's parkour skills offer a different experience than what Joel brought to the table. Thankfully Naughty Dog nailed this aspect of the game, which is important considering how much time you're going to spend hanging from cliffs or swinging from a grappling hook. We were worried about this element considering how games like Assassin's Creed Syndicate (while good) left a bit to be desired with parkour. This is not the case with Uncharted 4: A Thief's End.
Are we there yet?
Unfortunately, it's not all clear skies for Mr. Drake. The gameplay and pacing of the storyline aren't without fault, and both are directly related. Exploration and parkour feel like a non-stop adventure, but endless gun battles featuring average gunplay mechanics get old fast. Not that we don't see the point in gunfights, but there are times when exceptional storytelling gets hijacked by a field full of enemies that serve as nothing more than obstacles you're forced to grind through. Situations like this can turn a fulfilling 30-minute chapter into one that leaves you exhausted when it wraps up closer to 60 minutes later. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End could lose a handful of these gun battles and keep the same number of chapters, thus drastically improving the flow of the game.
If there's relief to be had from all of these tedious gun battles, it's the options given to players enabling them to craft a unique experience. You can turn target snapping on or off, with the former making it easier to score kills and move on. This is in addition to the standard options you've come to expect from games today. You'll even get to enjoy Photo Mode, something The Last of Us Remastered also included.
Thanks for the memories
It's easy to look at Uncharted 4: A Thief's End and nit-pick small flaws, but these issues are minor. For every frustrating gun battle there is an intense car chase or sword fight to save the day. For every silly death due to a parkour snafu, there's an epic grappling hook moment that will get your adrenaline pumping.
Uncharted 4: A Thief's End is not a perfect game. It may not even be the best game Naughty Dog released in the past three years. Still, we can confidently say it is one of the best games you'll play in 2016.

Injecting and smoking at temps below 225°F can increase the risk of bacterial growth and their associated toxins. I suggest either Injecting and smoking at 225 or smoke at 180 but skip the injection.

Like JJ said, you're taking a chance. At 180 the meat is basically sitting raw for a long time...
Even at 240, brisket takes a long time to cook!
We don't know how big your brisket is, what kind of smoker you have and what kind of airflow it has.
I would raise them temp to at least 225. Usually I smoke at 250-275.
Also, keep in mind that for brisket to get very tender, you need to get the internal temp up to 195-205 degrees. It will never get that high with a chamber temp of 180.
I did a 12.87 lb brisket a couple weeks ago. Trimmed about 1 1/2 lbs of fat off. Ran the temp up above 250 and it was done in about 9 hours flat. But it was super windy that day and I had a HUGE amount of air flowing through the smoker.

JC brings up a good point. At 180 it will take longer than can easily be predicted. While it is true that we see an IT in the 200 range being an indicator that the meat should be done, Tenderness can be achieved at a lower temp but the time it takes goes way up. Collagen starts to breakdown at around 130°F. This is how we can Sous Vide a brisket for 48 hours and get it tender, never getting anywhere near an IT of 200. The rate of breakdown increases as the IT rises above 160. At a smoker temp of 225 we typically see a tender Brisket when the IT is 200.This coincides with a timing of around 1.5 hours per pound of meat. Lower the smoker temp to 180 and that time will increase. Unfortunately I have no statistics to say how long that will take. If I was to Guess, I would say plan on 2.5 hours per pound and have a Take-Out Menu standing by...JJ

An information box with a March 25 Metro article about Lyme disease incorrectly said that dogs and cats cannot catch the disease. Dogs and cats can catch Lyme disease but cannot spread it to humans.
In Swelling Herds, A Growing Risk
Sunday, March 25, 2007
A surge in reported cases of Lyme disease in Fairfax County has prompted an outcry from residents who say the lawns and woodlands surrounding their homes are overrun with infected ticks and the deer that carry them.
The exponential increase has also led county health officials to acknowledge that managing Fairfax's burgeoning deer population, which in some locations has numbered 400 per square mile, is no longer about nuisance control. It has become a serious public health issue that requires immediate attention, they say.
"Deer are the Metro system for the ticks" that carry Borrelia burgdorferi, the bacteria that causes Lyme disease, said Jorge R. Arias, who manages Fairfax's disease-carrying-insect program. "The ticks are all over the county. Wherever the deer can go, they will take the ticks with them."
Confirmed cases of Lyme disease, which is characterized by such varied symptoms as a bull's-eye-shaped rash, fever and fatigue, rose from three in 2004 to 82 in 2006, according to county data. Much of the increase is due to better reporting of a disease that is often quickly treated with antibiotics without being confirmed by blood tests. Still, public health officials say there is little doubt that case numbers are rising locally and nationally.
According to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, reported cases rose from 19,800 in 2004 to 23,300 in 2005. Cases remain relatively low in Virginia -- 274 in 2005 compared with numbers in the thousands in such Northeastern states as Connecticut, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and New York.
But the increase in the Washington region is causing growing concern. Loudoun County claims half of all reported cases in Virginia. In Maryland, Montgomery County has seen confirmed cases grow fivefold since 2004, to 216.
And the very neighborhoods where deer are least welcome might be attracting the tick-carrying herds.
"Suburban lots with azaleas and rhododendrons is just like laying out a buffet for deer," Arias said. "We have created in suburbia what is essentially a perfect habitat for them." That, in turn, has created the perfect environment for transmitting the bacteria to humans, he said.
Country Club Manor in Centreville, a neighborhood of 20-year-old colonials on the edge of Cub Run Stream Valley Park, is riddled with hoof prints and deer droppings. The lower branches of dozens of shrubs are stripped bare. The lawn of Deer Park Elementary School is littered with torn grass tufts, a telltale sign of deer grazing. It is not unusual, neighbors say, to see a herd of 12 or more deer ambling down the road in broad daylight.
Nor is it unusual to pull a tick from one's body after gardening or playing in the yard with grandchildren, said resident Robert E. Jakubowski. It has become a way of life on Pamela Drive to tuck trousers into socks, apply insect repellent and perform a full-body check for the tiny nymphs, or baby ticks, that usually transmit the disease, he said.
Lyme disease has become a way of life, too. Jakubowski is one of 13 people within a one-block radius who say they have been treated for Lyme disease in the past two years. Jakubowski has been treated three times, he said. A few doors down, Sally L. Pekarik spent eight days in June in the intensive care unit at Reston Hospital Center after flulike symptoms prompted a Lyme disease diagnosis.
"The deer population has been out of control for years," Jakubowski said. "There have been minimal attempts to control it."

Weighted Deformation Mesh technique in Fine/Marine
Hi all,
I am working on a DFBI project using NUMECA Fine/Marine software. Does anybody have any guidelines on how to use mesh deformation technique?
I will really help your suggestions and guidelines.
Thanking you,
Naimish Harpal
I have only used grid deformation for a two solved DOF (sink and trim) problem.
Usually a time step of Tref/200 and 4 iterations per time step is enough for resistance cases (I use quasi-static method + sub cycling). If the amplitude of motions is going to be more significant (like in waves), I would advise 8 to 10 iterations per time step.
mutli-body DFBI
Hi Rombzh,
Thanks for the suggestions. I have already done this work, and the CFD results seem reasonable too. Now, the issue is to perform grid deformation when there are two boats placed close to each other. What could you suggest here?
Oh sorry I did not get that.
Well all I know is that you need to activate the grid deformation for all DOF, even if some are fixed (that's some guideline I've read once, or maybe it's just in the manual).
I've never done any of this before though and I do not remember reading anything about such a case done with Fine/Marine.
About time step matter, I don't think you would need to change anything.
I know what you are talking about. The manual/user-guide suggests to turn-on mesh deformation for all 6DOF for multi-body DFBI. Even though following the suggested guidelines, the solution diverges in couple of iterations. :confused: Anyways, now, I have simplified my problem by considering Laminar flow. Let's see whether its problem with turbulence model compatibility or mesh problem.
Do you end up with negative volumes ?
Hi Rombzh,
As you pointed out in previous conversation, I am ending with Negative volume problem with large deformation. I am planning to add Adaptive Mesh Refinement (AMR) on free surface to avoid negative volume. As my machine is out of order, I am off for this project for some time. Just waiting for to be fixed ASAP.
Anyways, do you have any suggestion and/or new recommendation to avoid negative volume problem?
I guess there is no magical answer for that kind of problems unfortunately.
I would say :
- try to increase the non-linear iteration number, till 10 for instance
- lower the time step (but this cannot really help at some point, if you have to use Tref/400...
- refine the mesh close to the geometries.
Hi Rombzh,
I am glad to tell you that the problem of negative volume cells is resolved now. We tried the case with improved mesh quality near the walls, and that worked.
Thank you very much for your valuable suggestions.

How to strip headers in address field and move each information to a new line in email notifier?Asked by specdirectedin on December 17, 2014 at 08:52 AM
I wonder if someone can help me out with how to get each address field on a different line in the email notification?
I have currently coded out the 'Address line 2, Address line 2' etc with this code and wish to keep it this way -
{address14:addr_line1}, {address14:addr_line2}
{address14:city}, {address14:state} {address14:postal}
However, moving each {xxx} to a different line and adding a
 does not work. It simply shows the
 in the actual text of the address.
So at the moment the address appears as: (Example)
1 Green Road, Red Town, East North, EN32 7RF
East North, EN32 7RF
I'd like it to appear as:
1 Green Road
Red Town
East North
is this possible by putting something in my above code?

I've fixed it for you. Kindly make a test and let me know if the output is still not your desired sequence.
Welvin - thank you so much, this is ideal!

And her mom was really famous and pretty but Lizzie looked nothing like her mom and when people asked her who her mom was she would say Katia, but they would stare at her like she was insane because it was impossible that Lizzie was Katia's daughter. Because lizzie hair color was kind of like red and brown and her moms wasnt. Even when the paparazzi went after Katia and Lizzie they would only want to take pictures of Katia and since Lizzie didnt like taking pictures she would just wait for her mom, but her mom was always call over Lizzie and would beg her to take a picture so Lizzie would do as her mom said because she didnt want to hurt her mom's feelings

Water struggle unites Palestinians and Israelis
Player utilities
Listen to the Story.
Skip to content
The Middle East is running out of clean water. Israeli and Palestinian leaders don't want to talk about it. But grassroots organizations say they have no choice. Correspondent Linda Gradstein has the story on PRI's The World.
LISA MULLINS: I'm Lisa Mullins, and this is The World, a co-production of the B-B-C World Service, P-R-I, and W-G-B-H, Boston. You've heard it said, we never know the worth of water till the well is dry. Alas, the proverbial well in the Middle East has been dry for years. Water shortages contribute to the already substantial tensions between Israel and the Palestinians. Linda Gradstein reported yesterday about the lack of cooperation between the Palestinian Authority and the Israeli government on the issue, but as Linda Gradstein now reports some non-governmental organizations on both sides are working on the water problems together.
LINDA GRADSTEIN: On the outskirts of the Palestinian village of Uja, near the West Bank town of Jericho, a natural spring bubbles and feeds a small river that winds toward the village. The spring is full now after recent heavy rains, but in a few months, say residents here, it will dry up completely. Despite the recent rain, the region remains in the grip of a long-term drought. And Uja mayor Suleiman al-Romaniyim says the local water crisis is intensifying each year, driving many farmers out of business. Romaniyim hopes to reverse that trend by somehow getting more water for his village.
SOLEIMAN AL-ROMANIYIM: [TRANSLATED TO ENGLISH] Our aim is that we can be supplied either by extra water, through the Palestinian water authority, and we are asking the Israelis to give us permission and permits to be able to drill new wells, or to create dams to retain the water and not to lose it.
LINDA GRADSTEIN: Mayor al-Romaniyim is pinning his hopes for more water in part on help from an independent organization, Friends of The Earth Middle East, which is trying to help the village find new ways to get the spring's water to outlying farms. Friends of the Earth is one of the few independent groups that's able to talk with both the Israeli and Palestinian governments about water issues. The group has offices in Israel, Jordan and the West Bank, and has established dozens of local centers, including one currently under construction here in Uja. Nader al-Khatib is its Palestinian director.
NADER AL KHATIB: We are a regional organization that is still very active and had gained credibility in the three countries. When it comes to the Palestinian authority, we are well known, we have close relations to the relevant authorities.
LINDA GRADSTEIN: The system that divides water between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank dates back to the Oslo peace talks more than a decade ago. The Palestinian population has grown significantly since then, but the amount of water they receive is the same. Israel also supplies water to Jordan, under the two countries' peace agreement. And the region's drought is putting still more strain on all three parties. Gideon Bromberg, the Israel Director of Friends of the Earth Middle East, says that just as the problems are regional, there's growing awareness that the solutions must be regional as well.
GIDEON BROMBERG: We see steps, concrete steps, commitments where there were no commitments, awareness where there was little awareness, and therefore we remain optimistic that in this issue the cooperation that we do lead will bring fruit.
LINDA GRADSTEIN: One of Friends of the Earth's highest profile efforts is a project to increase the amount of water available in the West Bank by cleaning up the heavily polluted Jordan River. Another site of collaboration is Kibbutz Ketura, in southern Israel. That's where students from Israel, the Palestinian territories, Jordan and around the world go to study and live together at the Arava Institute. The Institute is affiliated with Ben Gurion University of the Negev. Clive Lipchin is its director of research.
CLIVE LIPCHIN: Where there is cooperation is in the research field, a lot of cooperation. And most of the cooperation is through the NGO communities. I mean, the Palestinian territories in water sector, I think in some respects the NGO community is more powerful and more influential than the government. The Palestinian government cannot really openly collaborate with Israel for their own political reasons. But NGO's are more pragmatic, you know, have greater maneuverability.
LINDA GRADSTEIN: Lipchin has just completed a three-year study of two streams that run through Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The streams are so polluted they can no longer supply drinking water. Lipchin says he worked extremely well with his Palestinian counterpart, who happens to be Nader al-Khatib, the Palestinian director of Friends of the Earth. Both Bromberg and Lipchin are calling for a new mechanism for water sharing between their government and the Palestinians. And while many issues, such as the future borders of a Palestinian state and Jerusalem are mired in controversy, these experts say working together on water sharing could improve the adversaries' overall relationship. Ultimately, given the growing severity of the problem, many experts say Israelis and Palestinians will have no choice but to cooperate more broadly on water issues at least. Again, Gideon Bromberg of Friends of the Earth Middle East.
GIDEON BROMBERG: We're dependent on each other. This is not an issue of doing a favor to the other side, this is a self-interest, this is an issue of necessity that can no longer wait. One of our strongest messages of the moment is that the water issue must not be held hostage to the conflict.
LINDA GRADSTEIN: For the world, I'm Linda Gradstein in Jerusalem.

Drop EVERYTHING and watch this Robin Williams impressionist tribute
Not only does this man sound like Robin Williams, he even resembles the late actor.
YouTuber Jamie Costa uploaded this tribute to the person he says who "spark ignited my passion."
In the viral video titled 'Never Had a Friend Like Him', alluding to the song from Aladdin, actor/filmmaker Costa acts out 20 of Williams' most famous roles from television and film.
He channels iconic characters like Mork (from 'Mork & Mindy'), Adrian Cronauer (from 'Good Morning, Vietnam'), Mrs. Doubtfire, the Genie (from 'Aladdin'), Teddy Roosevelt (from 'Night at the Museum') among many more.
The poignant clip reminds us all how much we miss the guy.

The 5 Planes of Terraria
Plane # 1 --
This plane contains the sun, moon, sky, clouds, and stars. It is the background of the game and cannot be interacted with. The movement of objects in the plane are affected by your parallax setting.
Plane # 2 --
This is the plane with the background walls in it that your character can pass over. you can place and destroy things on the plane but other than monster spawning and aesthetics they do not effect anything.
Plane # 3 --
This is the plane where all objects that can be passed through, are in front of walls, but can be interacted with lie.
IE- Work Bench, Chest, Tree, Vine, Furnace, Torch, Chain Lantern, Book, Pot, Open Door, Candle, Chair, Any plant except for Man Eaters and the spiky ones that hurt you. (Tables have a surface you can jump on similar to platforms and platforms are considered blocks.)
Also, this plane contains any object that has been dropped, because if your inventory is full, it will act exactly the same as everything else in this plane.
Plane # 4 --
This plane contains most of Terraria within it. It contains every single block and liquid within it. Every monster in the game that doesn't pass through walls, such as Zombies, are in this plane. All the NPCs rest here. Also, the player is in this plane, but he/she can interact with every plane except for the first.
Plane # 5 --
The fifth plane contains things which can go in front of things that are on the fourth plane like blocks. Some of what it contains are:
- Giant Worms
- Devourers
- Bone Serpents
- Meteor Heads
- All Three Bosses
- Chaos Balls cast by Goblin Sorcerers and Tim
- Burning Spheres cast by Fire Imps
- Water Spheres cast by Dark Caster
- Cursed Skulls
- Dungeon Guardians

This Airship-Engined 1905 Fiat Has 3,000 lb-ft of Torque
3 Février 2016 - Autoblog
Mike Vardy's 1905 Fiat may be over a hundred years old, but it can hit 127 miles per hour thanks to a massive Isotta Fraschini engine from a World War I airship.
It makes just 250 horsepower, but Vardy figures it has 3,000 pound-feet of torque.
With such a prodigious amount of twist, this beast can spin the skinny rear tires with absolutely no problem. Vardy claims that a set of rubber can last him just 6 minutes, although it's hard to tell if he's joking. Vardy doesn't baby this massive Fiat, though. Watch the video to see him hanging the tail out and smoking those flimsy tires.

Latest School Threat of Weapons Grade Candy Canes Successfully Put Down
You can't make this stuff up:
MANASSAS, Va. (WUSA) — They call themselves the "Christmas Sweater Club" because they wear the craziest ones they can find. They also sing Christmas songs at school and try their best to spread Christmas cheer.
Now all 10 of them are in trouble because of what they did at their school.
"They said, 'maliciously maim students with the intent to injure.' And I don't think any of us here intentionally meant to injure anyone, or did," said Zakk Rhine, a junior at Battlefield High School.
The boys say they were just tossing small two-inch candy canes to fellow students as they entered school. The ones in plastic wrap that are so small they often break apart.
Skylar Torbett, also a junior, said administrators told him, "They said the candy canes are weapons because you can sharpen them with your mouth and stab people with them." He said neither he nor any of their friend did that.
Next thing they knew, they were all being punished with detention and at least two hours of cleaning. Their disciplinary notices say nothing about malicious wounding but about littering and creating a disturbance.
More to the story? Possibly, but this is consistent with the over-the-top "security" concerns at many schools I've seen.
And here's a school administrator that must be a blast at parties:
Mother Kathleen Flannery said an administrator called her and explained "not everyone wants Christmas cheer. That suicide rates are up over Christmas, and that they should keep their cheer to themselves, perhaps."
A couple of things surprise me, beyond the obvious. First, "Battlefield" high school? I can't believe there's not a discussion going on to get rid of that name and replace it with "Cuddly Teddy Bear" high school or something less dangerous sounding. Also, they're still allowed to say Christmas? That's surprising.
This group should change their name to the "Ramadan Sweater Club" and I bet the school wouldn't have dared screw with them.

Scrooges. Way to go Christmas Sweater Club for trying to spread the cheer!
Mother Kathleen Flannery said an administrator called her and explained "not everyone wants Christmas cheer. That suicide rates are up over Christmas, and that they should keep their cheer to themselves, perhaps."
Wait. Wouldn't spreading the cheer and making someone smile have a positive effect and possibly help bring the suicide rate down? That administrator clearly has the most Scrooge-ish attitude: "If they'd rather die, then they'd better do it and decrease the surplus population!"

These young guys are an inspiration to us all!

Just tell me where, when and how much!
Welcome to Club Conservative where you can get into trouble just for being yourself? You'll LOVE being ridiculed mercilessly for observing time-honored traditions and called raaaaacist at the drop of a hat!

O/T, but I wanted to share……. I needed a new booklet of Forever stamps, so I stood patiently in line watching two of the sweetest young lady Post Office clerks having to deal w/ rude and impatient customers. When it was my turn, as I walked toward the clerk smiling at me, I said, "I have a complaint!" The lobby fell silent. Eye-daggers stabbed me in the back ! "I bought your dadburned Forever stamps and they DON`T LAST FOREVER, I`m OUT ALREADY ! I want another pack and these don`t last FOREVER, I`m gonna be mad !" The silence was broken !
The other clerk remembers the money order amount I bought for child support 10 yrs ago ! Customers look at me funny, the girls snicker when I ask them to "order me some money !" I love to see their smiles !

OT Warning!:
Perhaps you can clear things up but back in '08 MM ran an article that 'seems' conflicted with the latest Census data. "Bagdad Bob" ( lol ) aside, I had thought TX was actually the unwilling recipient of "Bluing" where Libs come for the Tax Climate ( and stay for the Lib-orgy? )
I realize things can change ( my-oh-MY can they change! ) but this would be quite a reversal of what appeared to be a well-established/irreversible trend? Anyone else that would like to take a SWAG is of course welcome . ( Sorry… about, the uh, Michigan thing ) There's always Oregon! TIA.

Oh… pffftt, BELIEVE me ( I'm hardly 'complaining' here? ) News that good… well let's just say I've never been one to look a gift horse in the mouth.
Still, I recall it was such a depressing article ( no fault of the author! ) it really stayed w/ me. I quickly Searched MM's Archives and couldn't find it. What makes it more remarkable is that not only would it represent a "tipping of the scales" if you will, but a bonafide victory from the Jaws Of Defeat-o-crats?
I used 'Bluing' and 'Blueing' to no avail.

Kids involved have a little history at this school, also other students there say it was more than just handing out candy cans, throwing them hard at the kids they didn't like (bullying?). School name was big discussion point eight years ago, same county opening new high school next year to be called Patriot High School. Manassas National Battlefield close by (northern Virginia).

I like both Coburn and Inhofe, neither are perfect, but they usually vote/act the way I want 95% of the time. Does the other 5% irk me? You betcha. Then I listen to others elsewhere and think I am very fortunate to have fate bring me to OK.
MW, I appreciate you picking up on my words of encouragement to Ken.

text: I've been lurking for sometime and admiring all the beautiful bags. I finally got inspired to make one for myself. It isn't my first bag, but it is the first that came out looking like I wanted. I used this tutorial, which I found here, but changed up the dimensions. I made it wider so that I could easily fit my DSLR in it and reduced the height as well. If I had it to do over, I would lengthen the flap (I didn't take into account the fact that I'd widened the gusset) and make the zipper flaps narrow (I might still rip out the zipper and narrow the flaps but it isn't really a problem at this point.) Oh and I skipped the zipped pocket in the lining - that still frightens me - LOL. Overall, I'm really proud of myself. Now I want to make more!! Also planning a small wallet to coordinate.

text: Home > Medical > Tests and procedures Updated 21 September 2015 Throat swab culture This is a laboratory test to isolate and identify organisms which may cause infections in the throat or tonsils. 0 Throat swab culture is a laboratory test to isolate and identify organisms which may cause infections in the throat or tonsils. Why is it done? Sore throats are common, may be caused by a variety of organisms (including viruses), and are usually uncomplicated and self-limiting. However, those caused by group A beta-heamolytic streptococcus (GAS) may have serious consequences, such as acute rheumatic fever (causing damage to heart valves), toxic shock syndrome and acute glomerulonephritis. In a patient suspected of having a GAS pharyngitis (also known as strep throat), throat swab culture can confirm the diagnosis. Swift antibiotic treatment can prevent the consequences listed above. How is the test done? Throat swab specimens must be taken before antibiotics are started. Sterile swabs which look like giant earbuds are used. The patient opens his mouth wide, and the swab is rubbed against the back of the throat, near to and on the tonsils. The swab is replaced in its container and immediately sent to the laboratory for incubation and culture. Apart from identifying a bacterium, the laboratory also does an 'antibiogram': the bug is exposed to several different antibiotics to see which ones it is sensitive/resistant to. In this way, the correct antibiotic can be recommended, rather than using a trial and error method in this important condition. Identifying an organism may take 24-48 hours, and a complete antibiogram up to four days. Risks of the test The only serious risk is that of gagging, or vomiting, induced by the swab touching the back of the throat. Interpretation of results The throat is not a sterile are, and is normally inhabited by a number of bacteria. Finding any one of these on swab culture does not necessarily mean it is responsible for the clinical condition of the patient. Some people are GAS carriers (meaning that the GAS lives in their throats all the time), and may have a viral throat causing the symptoms. The commonest cause of sore throat is a virus, which is not detected on this test, and for which there is no curative treatment anyway. Several other bacteria are known to cause pharyngitis: Neisseria gonorrhoea ( gonorrhoea bug), Bordatella pertussis (whooping cough bug), Corynebacterium diphtheriae ( diphtheria bug), and Chlamydia and mycoplasma. The relevance of the throat swab is therefore as an added diagnostic tool in a patient who is already suspected of having a strep throat, using a 9-point scoring system. Once the swab has been taken, the patient may be given an antibiotic. If the lab report later shows the bug insensitive to the treatment, a different one can be started. If the bug is sensitive to the treatment chosen, then valuable days will not have been lost while waiting for the result (Dr A G Hall) NEXT ON HEALTH24X Most teens who abuse ADHD meds get them from others 2016-03-30 13:52 More: MedicalTests and procedures advertisement Read Health24's Comments Policy Comment on this story 0 comments Comments have been closed for this article.

Morals from Motives develops a virtue ethics inspired more by Hume and Hutcheson's moral sentimentalism than by recently-influential Aristotelianism. It argues that a reconfigured and expanded "morality of caring" can offer a general account of right and wrong action as well as social justice. Expanding the frontiers of ethics, it goes on to show how a motive-based "pure" virtue theory can also help us to understand the nature of human well-being and practical reason.

[IMAGE1]1. In-N-Out Burger
Locations throughout Orange County; 800-786-1000
- Highlights:
- In-N-Out Burger was founded in 1948 by Harry and Esther Snyder in Baldwin Park and remains privately owned by the Snyder family. It has been in Orange County for 35 years.
- The menu, consisting of burgers, fries and drinks, has been the same since the beginning.
- The nonprofit In-N-Out Burger Foundation was established in 1995 to assist children who have been victims of child abuse. It is supported by donor contributions, as well as In-N-Out fundraising.
Why they're No. 1: Since 1948, In-N-Out has focused on the freshness and quality of everything it serves, and the company continues to be fiercely committed to that. Customers are attracted to the quality, freshness, cleanliness and service that In-N-Out provides.
Claim to fame: In-N-Out controls its hamburger party-making process by making every one at its Baldwin Park facility. In fact, it controls every step of its hamburger-making, from inspecting the beef chuck it purchases, to grinding the meat, to making the hamburgers right in front of the customers. The most popular burger, the Double-Double, includes two slices of cheese, two patties, In-N-Out's own spread, lettuce, tomato plus onion on request.
Fan favorite: "In-N-Out burgers are legendary because they are made to order on the spot; they are juicy, thick, consistently delicious and preferred by almost everyone!" – Sandra Sutphen, Yorba Linda
Fun fact: In-N-Out doesn't own a microwave or freezer anywhere in its system.
– Helen Baik
[IMAGE3]2. Knowlwood
Anaheim, Fullerton, Irvine, Laguna Niguel, Santa Ana, 714-779-2501
- Each of the five locations has a different personality. For example, the Irvine location is modeled after a historic blacksmith shop. Knowlwood aims to avoid the typical "cookie cutter" chain restaurant, said Thanh Nguyen, Knowlwood president.
- Burger options include beef, turkey or veggie, with a choice of creamy mustard or Thousand Island dressing. The restaurant concentrates on serving fresh food, fast – not fast food, Nguyen said.
Claim to fame: Knowlwood offers food prepared the old-fashioned way, using the five-restaurant chain's original recipes. "We take a long time to prepare everything and are really proud of that. … We take no shortcuts and pay attention to every detail, and as a result we have happy and healthy customers," Nguyen said. The restaurant started in 1957 when Roy and Fay Knowlton and Gene Wood opened Knowl-Wood in Anaheim Hills. Knowlwood's extensive menu, where the hamburger is king, includes all kinds of sandwiches and salads, as well as handmade shakes and malts made with real ice cream and served with the blender can.
Fan favorite: "Knowlwood has been claiming World's Best Hamburgers since 1957, but I've only been able to vouch for that since 1969 at their old Anaheim location on a dusty dirt lot at La Palma and Imperial Highway. Great burgers and fries and everything else I've ever ordered there. Good food at good prices! Yup … World's Best!" – Kathy Winn, Fountain Valley
Fun fact: The "World's Best Burger" motto was suggested by customers who loved the product.
– Helen Baik
[IMAGE5]3. Islands Fine Burgers and Drinks
Locations throughout Orange County; 760-268-1800
- Its health-conscious menu, Paradise's Bikini Beach, features a 670-calorie Turkey Burger Lite among its lower-calorie items.
Claim to fame: Walk into the restaurant and you'll feel transported to a tropical island setting. The burgers range from the basic Big Wave with lettuce, tomato, onion, pickles and mustard; to all sorts of creative combinations like the Kilauea, a jalapeno and black pepper crusted burger, topped with pepper jack cheese, chipotle aioli, lettuce, tomato and seasoned red onion; or the Hawaiian, complete with pineapple, teriyaki sauce, lettuce, tomato, onion, Swiss cheese and mayonnaise. Islands' menu ranges from a variety of salads and soft tacos to endless fries and famous burgers that are fresh and never frozen.
Fan favorite: "Tasty burger with an island flair; a casual atmosphere with great value specials. The staff is always friendly with cool music and TVs playing surfer videos. A varied menu for nonburger lovers and great unlimited fries. Always a fun place for a great burger." – Mike Dieterich, Irvine
Fun fact: In two weeks, Islands makes enough fries to stretch from San Diego to Los Angeles.
– Helen Baik
Critic's choice: 25 Degrees
412 Walnut Ave., Huntington Beach; 714-960-2525
By Nancy Luna, Fast Food Maven
No surprise to either In-N-Out lovers or haters that the venerable Southern California fast-food chain won in the best burger category. The Irvine-based chain, which announced plans this year to add units in Texas, always tops fan polls.
While I agree that In-n-Out serves a top-notch fast-food burger, there are better burger options out there. The Double-Double "Animal Style" is a solid burger. But you haven't tasted burger greatness until you've stepped into 25 Degrees in Huntington Beach.
One word: Yowza!
Every burger bite bursts with flavor here. We ordered the Signature No. 1 and No. 2 burgers during our visit. The former is the restaurant's top seller and comes topped with Gorgonzola and crescenza cheeses, caramelized onions, bacon, house-made Thousand Island dressing and arugula.
It is by far the best burger I've eaten this year. (A close second is The Haven Burger served at Orange County's hottest new pub, The Haven Gastropub in Old Towne Orange.)
The gourmet burger trend has triggered dozens of burger bistros to open across the country. 25 Degrees, owned by Orange County's own Tim and Liza Goodell, is certainly one of the better-known burger bars in Southern California.
The Huntington Beach location gives burgers a chance to shine in a chic setting.
A great gourmet meal should heighten all senses. Texture. Flavor. Smell. Presentation. At 25 Degrees, the No. 1 burger hits all the marks – a beautifully presented burger that can only be attacked by a knife because it's so rich, thick and delicious. If you love a juicy, mouthwatering burger slathered in artisan cheeses and gourmet toppings, 25 Degrees is your place.
Most burgers cost about $10, a great value for what you're getting.
Make sure you try the chain's signature Guinness Milkshake with your burger.
Once you're done eating, you'll roll out of this swanky burger bistro glowing. It is that fabulous.
25 Degrees also has units at Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel and CityNorth Center in Phoenix. At press time, it was seeking to open a burger bar at Los Angeles International Airport.

Hey guys, Whats up?
Because my last blog was about manliness, I thought 'Why not make one for the ladies?' so, here we are. This is about who your favourite female character in the series and why you like them (abilities, emotions, personality etc.). I want you guys to put who your favourite character is and why in the comment section below. Here are the rules:
1. No antisocial behavior. FULL STOP.
2. The character has to be female (no, Alfred, you're not welcome here.).
3. The character has to be Canon to the series (nobody from RE Gaiden, ORC or Mercs.).
Even though this is for the ladies, I get the feeling that most of the voters will be male (hmm, I wonder why?). Ahh well, That is to be expected. Anyway guys, have fun, and hopefully I can find out who is the favourite from all of you.
Good luck!
Snakefood :)
P.S. if you have any questions or queries, I would prefer you send me a message rather than posting it here.
P.S.S. I like sandwiches!

Alexander The Great
January 29, 2011 by staff
Alexander The Great, Alexander III of Macedonia (20/21 July 356 – 10 / 11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great was a king of Macedonia, or Macedonia? A state in the northeastern Greece, and at the age of thirty was the creator of one of the greatest empires of ancient history, which stretches from the Mediterranean to the Himalayas. He was undefeated in battle and is considered one of the most successful commanders of all time. Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander was educated by the famous philosopher Aristotle. In 336 BC he succeeded his father Philip II of Macedon to the throne after he was assassinated. Philip had brought most of the city-states of mainland Greece under Macedonian hegemony, using military and diplomatic means.
On the death of Philip, Alexander inherited a kingdom and a strong army experienced. He managed to be awarded the generalship of Greece, with its well-established authority, has launched plans for military expansion left by his father. In 334 BC, he invaded Persia ruled Asia Minor and began a series of campaigns ten years. Alexander broke the power of Persia in a series of decisive battles, including the battles of Issus and Gaugamela. Subsequently, he overthrew the Persian King Darius III and conquered the entire Persian Empire.i [>] Macedonian Empire now stretched from the Adriatic to the Indus.
Following his desire to reach the "end of the world and the Great Outer Sea", he invaded India in 326 BC, but was finally forced to turn back by almost mutiny its troops. The death of Alexander in Babylon in 323 BC, not realizing a series of planned campaigns that began with the invasion of Arabia. In the years following the death of Alexander a series civil war tore apart his empire, which led to the formation of a number of States ruled by the Diadochi – Survivor General Alexander. Although he is best known for his vast conquests, lasting legacy of Alexander was not his reign, but cultural diffusion caused his conquests.
Regulation of Alexander of Greek colonists and culture in the east resulted in a new Hellenistic culture, aspects of which were still visible in the traditions of the Byzantine Empire until the mid 15th century. Alexander became a legendary hero in the classic mold of Achilles, and occupies an important place in history and myth of non-Greek and Greek culture. He became the measure against which the generals, even today, compare and military academies around the world continue to teach his exploits tactics. Ii [>]
Many Chinese today have chosen an English name to use in business, traveling, or simply to fill their character as a citizen of the world. Names like "Alexander" does not work well phonetically, however, and may add "pressure" on already busy lives.
"Alexander" is one of the most popular names in the world, perhaps because of the legendary exploits of Alexander the Great.
Although the Macedonian conqueror story made much of its glory over 2300 years ago, his name has lived in variants such as Ishkander (Sri Lanka), Eskender (Ethiopia), and Skënder (Albania) to name few. Even China has its own version of Alexander, known as Yalishanda (???? or????)… And this is a problem.
It seems that Yalishanda is a homonym for a phrase that means "under a mountain of pressure." No parents want to saddle ideal nickname with their offspring, especially a boy born under China's one child policy. I mean really, does the child have enough pressure on him from the start?
Even Chinese who are not named Yalishanda can "feel" Yalishanda. "I really feel the pressure now because I have to take care of my parents and the child while I work," said Xiao Li, one of much Chinese sandwich generation caught between the needs of their parents and those of their children.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 7/10/2013 (1414 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The sale of MTS's Allstream national business telecommunications division to Egyptian-based Accelero Capital Holdings has been rejected by Industry Canada because of unspecified national security concerns.
The sale announced in May had valued the Allstream division at $520 million.
MTS CEO Pierre Blouin said the news late Monday afternoon came as a complete surprise to the company.
Blouin said, "We have been collaborating with the government for 136 days. I am sure the review is not about MTS and Allstream and more about Accelero. We have been very open with the government."
Accelero's principal, Naguib Sawiris, has already been active in Canada, investing about $1 billion in his financial backing of Wind Mobile Canada.
The original deal with Accelero was only made possible after Industry Canada loosened its foreign investment criteria for certain smaller Canadian telecommunications companies.
Blouin said it was in light of those changes MTS launched a strategic review to see if it could find a buyer for Allstream.
Although this was the first such review the government undertook under the new regulations, Blouin said it seemed to be right in line with the new government policy.
"We pursued the review in a very collaborative way and to come at the end today and be basically informed that the government was rejecting the transaction based on national security concerns without outlining what those concerns are or giving us an opportunity to correct them is quite a surprise," Blouin said.
In a statement, Industry Minister James Moore confirmed the proposed acquisition was rejected under the national security provisions of the Investment Canada Act.
"The result of this review is that the transaction will not proceed," he said in an emailed statement.
The minister did not specify what the security concerns may be, but said: "MTS Allstream operates a national fibre-optic network that provides critical telecommunications services to businesses and governments, including the Government of Canada."
Accelero said in a statement late Monday it has committed to an investment of $300 million to increase Allstream's competitiveness and accelerate the introduction of innovative new products
Co-founder Sawiris said, "We are disappointed by the Government of Canada's unfounded and unexpected decision. Throughout this process, we were comforted by Industry Canada that our filings were in order, our submissions complete and constructive, and our proposed binding undertakings serious and substantive so that the transaction would meet the 'net benefit' test"
The transaction was not going to impact MTS's Manitoba operations and the rejection of the sale will also not impact the company's operations here, which Blouin said are doing well.
However, about $165 million of the proceeds from the sale had been slated to go to the company's pension fund financing obligations.
Blouin said both companies will now review their options.
But he said it is unlikely that will MTS will restart efforts to find a buyer for its national business telecommunications business.
"It would be challenging to restart a process after all this disruption, especially not knowing exactly what the rules we have to follow are," Blouin said in an interview early Monday evening. "Now the focus will be running the business, getting it back to what it was before we started the process and making it successful again."
Blouin said the May 24 announcement of the deal with Accelero did not impact the company's strategy in the upcoming wireless spectrum auction.
The Winnipeg-based company incurred about $35 million in costs since the deal was originally announced.
The company issued a revised financial outlook for 2013 on Monday with lower EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization), lower earnings per share and lower free cash flow guidance estimates.
Blouin admitted the transaction review process has been disruptive to Allstream, which had previously recorded 10 consecutive quarters of increased EBITDA. The company said Allstream revenues have been impacted by higher than expected legacy churn from exit activities, as well as slower than expected installation of a large contract won late in 2012.
The news came after the close of trading Monday where MTS shares finished down 15 cents to $32.36.
