Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam
In 1997, however, WWF Indonesia must stop its conservation program due to deteriorating political situation. The presence of national policy on decentralization and regional autonomy revised through Act No. 18 Year 2001 regarding Special Autonomy for Special Province of Aceh, has provided Aceh government bigger authority. In that time, there was almost no such community access and management as the result of economy driven provincial government policy. From that context, in February 2003, WWF-Indonesia reopened its conservation program in Aceh until now.
In this activity, WWF-Indonesia studies nine qanuns or provincial regulations regarding natural resources management which among of them are forestry and conservation. Besides, there are two qanuns started to draft which plantation and spatial land use. WWF-Indonesia produces module and material regarding sustainable natural resources management in district and provincial level for local government and regional people representative board member as capacity building for legal composition.
After devastating earthquake and tsunami disaster in 2004, WWF-Indonesia conducted fast study as an initial stage on evaluating its program in Aceh to be aligned with sustainable reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts. This study delivered a Green Reconstruction Guidelines (GRG) for Aceh. The objective of the study is to increase community and individual living quality and to minimize negative impact from environment reconstruction and to maintain biodiversity and natural system productivity. This guideline also led to long-term and community supported reconstruction end result.
Timber for Aceh (TFA) is an implementation of GRG for Aceh. This activity was conducted based on WWF-Indonesia concern on high demand of legal and sustainable woods for Aceh rehabilitation and reconstruction without adding long-term destruction on Indonesia's exploited forests, including Aceh's forests. To meet the demand, one of the alternatives is to support stakeholders to import woods from sustainable forests from abroad in form of donation. To 2007, TFA had imported more than 46,000 m3 of donation woods from abroad for temporary settlements under International Federation Red Cross temporary and permanent settlements program.
In illegal logging monitoring activity, WWF-Indonesia actively formed Advocacy for Aceh Forests with several environmental NGOs such as Flora Fauna International (FFI), Conservation International (CI), PeNA Foundation (Peduli Nanggroe Aceh), Mapayah (Masyarakat Penyayang Alam dan Lingkungan Hidup), JAKAD Leuser dan Econa. The group conducted advocacy to minimize illegal logging activities in protected natural forest with high conservation value, as well as land use change of wildlife corridor. In this working group, WWF-Indonesia facilitated capacity building for working group members and local NGO especially on investigation, journalistic, and photography.
After working for 2 years, the working group looked for other form which provide bigger opportunity to expand the network and advocacy efforts. On November 2007, Working Group of Advocacy for Aceh Forests changed its name and formed in to Advocacy Forum for Aceh Forest (FoNA).
Considering the vast impact of tsunami to Aceh community livelihood and environment, WWF-Indonesia with American Red Cross actively involved in the effort of post tsunami sustainable reconstruction and rehabilitation through environment technical assisstance such as conducted Environmental Stewardship Training, Environmental Education and consultancy of environmental aspect to ARC partners. This partnership has given more lesson learned for Aceh Program to combine environment interest and community in harmony.
Aceh coastal area got the most serious impact of 2004 earthquake and tsunami. The earthquake did not only destroy physical facilities and emerge new poor communities, but also altered the area's ecology condition. In Green Coast program, WWF-Indonesia and Wetland International Indonesia Programme are conducting coastal ecosystem rehablitation through community economy empowerment approach which not only reinstate coastal ecosystem ecology condition as natural fortress, but also increase community alternative livelihood depends on coastal natural resources.
Since 2005, WWF Inodnesia has been developing Better Management Practice Guideline for shrimp farm in Aceh with NACA (The Network of Aquaculture Centres in Asia Pacific) , ACIAR (Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research), IFC (The International Finance Corporation) and FAO (The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nation). WWF Indonesia and NACA have done direct assistance in Pidie District for the implementation of environment based shrimp cultivation. The result, 2007 was the best harvest for the past 10 years. Farmers' commitments to not using antibiotic and to plant mangroves surround the cultivation area caused the increasing of environment quality by better water quality and land condition.

I got this tea (I think it's this tea! They have a lot of Earl Grey's!) from wheezybee. Thank you!
It's super bergamot-y. Really a lot bergamot-y. I'm enjoying it right now, but I'm not sure Earl Grey teas are something I love quite so much anymore.
The base is hearty, and this is definitely a wake-up tea. Perhaps a 2 minute steep would have been better, as this is a little strong.
ooh. Milk. I always used to add milk to my EG teas. Oh yeah. A splash of almond milk and a little maple syrup, and this is really tasty. The tea still feels oversteeped, but I won't have problems drinking it now. :)

Two more US astro-marines died yesterday in skirmishes with Iranian cosmosoldiers on the borders of the disputed territory in outer space which the Americans controversially claimed as their own eight years ago.
The latest deaths bring to 548 the number of extraterrestrial personnel who have died during what opponents of the Cheney administration are now calling "an extra-planetary Iraq". The apparent failure of the president's pledge to "control and patrol" the galaxy threatens the Republicans' prospects in the impending midterm elections.
An official spokesman for President Cheney, who was yesterday reported to have undergone "a routine heart-transplant" at Walter Reed naval hospital in Washington, said that he was determined to keep US troops in space in order to honour a pledge made by his predecessor, President George Bush, at a similar stage in the 2006 mid-term campaign. In a policy document, the then president had declared: "Freedom of action in space is as important to the United States as air power and sea power."
Reconfirming support for these aims, President Cheney's spokesman repeated the current administration's controversial claim that the Iranian troops involved in the latest battle were "al-Qaida spacemen". The US government has consistently claimed that the Mao-Khomenei international spacestation, a joint venture between Iran and China, is in fact a training camp for terrorists intended to carry out high-altitude attacks on American cities.
Pressed on the fact that there had been no such attacks since 2001, the White House spokesman replied: "That's because our presence in the Milky Way has prevented them, you doofus." The press secretary went on to say that America's space-based army was also necessary as a first line of defence against "extraterrestrial invaders", although he accepted that none had yet been discovered.
Persistently asked whether Cheney's latest hospitalisation proved that he was wrong to have made his unexpected run for office in 2008, the aide said: "The president regularly declared in campaign speeches that he believed in American healthcare. And no previous president has ever demonstrated that faith on such a daily basis."
The White House refused to confirm or deny a report in Newsweek magazine that the fugitive terrorist Osama bin Laden has been spotted hiding on Mars and that a 10-year mission has been mounted to capture him.
Speaking at a "Down to Earth" anti-war rally in Washington, the expected Democrat candidate in the 2016 campaign, Governor Chelsea Clinton, called for American troops to be withdrawn to their "pre-2006 borders". She blamed "this discredited Buzz Lightyear foreign policy" on so-called "neo-Martians" among the White House advisers, who believe that America can only achieve national security by patrolling all the known borders of the universe. "Iraq, Iran, then the moon," Ms Clinton said. "Are we gonna have troops on Pluto next?"
As the controversy mounted, President Cheney unexpectedly issued a personal statement from the high-dependency unit, saying that Iran was part of "an intergalactic axis of evil" which "needs to be zapped". The president insisted that what he calls his "Star Wars on terror" policy must continue and signed into law an emergency bill freeing billions of dollars for developing "a big space laser-gun, sort of like they had in Flash Gordon". Just before receiving pre-operative sedation, the president pledged: "We will stay in space as long as the people of space need us."
Former President George Bush was said to be working "on a real big barbecue" at his Midland, Texas retirement ranch "and only looking at the newspapers to see if they'd make briquettes".
In London, the co-prime minister, Tony Blair, refused to put a date on when the Royal Scots Dragoon Astro-Guards might be withdrawn from their support role in the American mission. "We do not live in a country, or even in a world, we live in a universe," said Mr Blair. "And so we must stand shoulder to shoulder with America in space."
However, there are signs of tensions over this issue within Blair's New Labour party coalition with co-prime minister David Cameron's New Conservatives. Cameron said yesterday: "Moon-troops is super. But what about all those carbon emissions from the rockets?"
Political observers say that the opposition leader, Old Labour's Gordon Brown, may finally see his chance of seizing power, perhaps in a coalition with the new Liberal Democrat leader, Ms Jade Goody, the former reality TV star recently elected on a ticket to raise the struggling party's profile.
Speaking in an emergency House of Lords debate, Lord Straw of Blackburn suggested that communication problems might be arising from the thick visors which are currently standard issue for zero-gravity regiments. He called for an urgent debate on whether astro-soldiers should wear "the full helmet".

I know proper etiquette is for the grooms family to not host the bridal shower, but are to attend the bridal shower thrown by the brides family,I have read that with the distance that it is okay for the grooms family to have a shower, this is the only way that I can think of for her to meet family that will be attending wedding,
My problem really is in that the bride wants to plan it,she wants to pick a theme, the food, games, here our showers are surprises for the bride, not planned by the bride. I had planned on telling her when it was going to be just because of the distance, so she could book time off work,
I'm trying to find a tactful way of getting her to get it, when she first started discussing her shower in Canada, I expressed that I really only needed to know what date she is available to come, because here showers are a surprise, when she said she didn't know what games she wanted played, I told her not to worry that one of my friends is in charge of the naughty games,actually one of the games we are making is a get to know the bride
I don't want to offend her, but I also don't want her planning her own bridal shower, the grooms grandma, his sister, and several elderly aunts are all eager to help host the shower, as they want her to feel welcomed into the family.
When I told her I just needed to know the day, and I would take care of everything else, she didn't seem to get it, what's another nice way to tell her
Maybe you could try and tell her that because she's going to be busy will the wedding plans that you're taking caring of the shower in Canada and since it is in Canada it'll be easier for you because it's local for you and not her. kwim?
Good Luck
How close are you to the bride?
I would recommend calling her and saying, "Don't worry about the planning. I will take care of everything. You have enough to plan with the wedding, so for this one, all you have to do is show up ready to have fun."
Also- she may just be nervous. I know I was very nervous for my family and his family to get together if I couldn't "control" the situation. Just let her know it'll all be ok!!
Me- BW, 30
Him- fWh, 36
Mostly R'd, minus a few scars...bought a house and got a puppy...And baby makes 3! She arrived August 2013
My problem really is in that the bride wants to plan it
Is your son marrying my daughter!?! Seriously, my dd is just like this!
I have thrown the etiquette book away because my DD is so opinionated about the whole ordeal it's just easier.
My H's family had a shower for me when we got married. His aunt threw it and all of his side of the family went to that one. My aunt hosted the shower for my side of the family. The only ones that went to both were my bridesmaids that could make it.
My dd wants to have just 1 big shower - and, of course, she wants me to pay for it all, yet she wants total control over everything. Her bridesmaids wanted to get the cake - she told them no. I asked the bridesmaids to each make up a prize basket (my dd loves games so is planning several) - my dd had a hissy fit as she doesn't want her girls to spend any $$. Not sure where she thinks my money tree is planted!
ANYHOW - back to YOUR issue. Honestly, it's her wedding; her shower. Have a frank talk with her - she may be the type of person that just doesn't get *hints*. But let her take the lead. Really, what does it really matter so long as everyone enjoys themselves.
A lot of brides have increasingly high expectations of what their showers/wedding related events will be as well - for right or for wrong.
I think AMA nailed it! Younger brides these days really are taking more control over their weddings, showers, etc.
When I got M, my shower was a surprise, but with my DIL, she was involved with the planning and execution of the showers -2 different cities.
Me: FBS (no longer betrayed nor a spouse)-62
Him: WXH-62
D-day: 2007 (two years before finding SI)
I think it's nice that you're planning a party so that everyone can get together before the wedding, especially given the international nature of the wedding.
Really, the bride's role is simply to let you know good dates, and provide a guest list.
As lovely as she may be otherwise, you've got a bit of a bridezilla on your hands. In your shoes, I would (very nicely) say, "You know what's so great about weddings? That there is a party for EVERYONE to throw. The wedding is your party, and I'll be your guest. The shower is MY party, and you'll be the guest of honor. But just like you're planning your wedding, I will plan the shower."
Subtlety isn't working. She won't "get it" otherwise.

Yes the grooms family is doing the traditional rehearsal dinner, and the brides family is doing all the traditional things that they do
She is young 24, and I don't really know her all that well, in the 3 years they have been together, I have spent about 60 days with her,
The naughty games was a joke, my elderly mom will be there, as well as some of my elderly aunts, plus I don't know the brides mom, so I wouldn't want to offend her, as she is attending also. The one game that I am working on is a get to know the bride, can't have anything that is too hard due to elderly relatives
The bride is here visiting now, so I had taken her to see the venues that are available to use, I had her number them as to which one she preferred, and when she confirms the date for the beginning of September that she can be here, then I can see which ones are available
I just want her to enjoy the shower, get to know her future family and friends better, some of our relatives have never met her,
I already have a list of 67 guests for the shower,that's just girls,
I have not invited anyone that is not invited to the wedding,
I have several different menus planned out, depending on whether it's an indoor or outdoor event, and time of day, even thought of doing like an afternoon tea kind of shower, if it becomes a co-ed shower then the food will be grilled, I think that I'm leaning towards a cupcake tree of assorted cupcakes, instead of a cake
I don't mind if she gives me ideas, like favorite colour, flowers, I don't even mind if she tells me a theme that she wants,
I just wasn't sure if she did the planning and I did the work and money. They at least went and registered at places here, and I have suggested that the shower here in Canada be a gift card tree, they don't get there own place here in Canada until October,which is after the shower, and they need everything because they have both only lived at home, where everything is provided for them, of course they both have computers, tvs, and other various electronic stuff
I have been building them a kitchen box, with assorted pantry items, I figure then they will at least have food for when they return from their honeymoon
One more question is do they give little thank you gifts to all guests at the shower?
One more question is do they give little thank you gifts to all guests at the shower?
Yes, favors are traditional and expected.
Ask her what 2-3 things she REALLY wants to have at her shower. Then let her know she will get those things but please leave the rest to you.
I live in Canada and one shower I had zero control over, the other I was asked for input. I only let my hosts know whom I would like to attend bc there are always a few people from work, etc. that family is not aware of. I also requested NO GAMES bc....well...so not me!
Anyway, compromise is the one word to keep front and centre!
Good luck!

Aftertaste: A Novel in Five Courses by Meredith Mileti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I found this book when I was checking out the newly released shelf of a bookstore. Needless to say, any story that has anything to do about food immediately catches my attention, be it a novel or a movie. This particular novel kept my interest going when I burned through the first few pages. I immediately checked the ratings on Amazon, and back then it only had five stars (although just a few of them). While this is not a sufficient indicator of a good book, I do use it as one of the parameters (especially to weed out books that I don't want to spend my time reading).
The story is about a chef-owner in NYC who is trying to deal with her life after a recent divorce. The narration sounds almost like a memoir, and is full of familiar mentions of food, restaurants and people that you will recognize if you are a culinary enthusiast. Even if you are not, it is a great story with some very likable characters. This book is about how the love for cooking helps a woman find balance in life. It is also about family, and friends who love her. If books were food, then this novel is like some chai and pakodas on a rainy day, or like meatloaf and mashed potatoes on a cold winter night.
This book is definitely a keeper. It is going into my collection, to be fined under "comfort reads".

Approved by the Ministry of Youth and Sport and the FFR, the Racing Academy was founded in 2007. As a reward for its work over the last 7 years, it has just been ranked as the Number 1 French Academy, a decision based on sporting criteria, academic success and the quality of its facilities. Its new objective is to achieve category 1 ranking.
In October 2012, the Training Centre moved to the new Le Plessis-Robinson site, alongside the first team, and with new facilities: offices, classrooms, artificial and grass pitches, bodybuilding room and a new accommodation centre offering bedsit and double-room accommodation for trainees.
The centre, shared with the professionals, should provide an extra source of motivation for the twenty trainees aged from 17 to 20 who play in all our teams: Under-19s and Under-22s. Many of them have emerged from our rugby school, and some are the result of local talent-spotting organised by the club through the Ile-de-France committee and its 45,000 registered members.
When they join the training centre, all our players are interviewed to find out about their long-term career and life plans. The centre managers then have the role of supporting and helping trainees put their plans into operation.
A week organised into three areas :
Schoolwork, rugby and living as a group
Individual preparation and careful monitoring of all our young players
Another vision of rugby and sport through workshops, mental preparation, video sessions and the intervention of specialists from different environments (the business world, medias etc.)
Coaches, fitness trainers, physiotherapists and totally dedicated technical staff.
« Racing hasn't just helped us to become professional players. It has helped us to become independent, responsible people ».
Fabrice Metz (Ex-resident of the Racing Academy)

We usually only get the initial advance bookings in 3D and are allocated one "print" (In this case a hard drive as my current theatre is completely digital). We then take care of the advance show times for the midnight showing(s) and up until Thursday of the following week, for just that single print. Most films that are in 3D are marketed as in 3D so the majority of advertising is spent on hammering that point. Thus if we're allocated one print to schedule, it's a 3D one.

It isn't until closer to release that we receive more booking information (I.E. how many prints we will receive, if we will be receiving digital bookings in addition to the 3D ones, etc.) thus 2D (35MM or Digital) show times usually aren't added until a week prior, when we post the bookings.
Very rarely have we not had 2D shows to complement our 3D shows. I believe the only time we haven't in the past year has been for the 3D re releases (Lion King, Beauty & The Beast, Titanic, etc.)

Can a Dark Color Palette Be Girly?
Q: Hello, I am 18 years old and I am getting ready to move into my first apartment this January. I am constantly looking for ways to decorate and I had two questions for you: One, I was wondering if you guys at Apartment Therapy knew of any good affordable alternatives to a T-back lounge Chair? Also, I love dark, modern looking apartments. Ones with black leather furniture, and grey-painted walls. But I was wondering — do you think that a female can make her apartment color palette dark without making it look masculine? Thanks for your time!

I'm have to look to see what bullets they were, I bought them at scheels when I bought the AR. The guys I was shooting with were impressed with them too and they been shooting and reloading for awhile now. I would ask them 4help but they live 250miles away from me and I only know them through another guy. And as for you farmerboy I don't think I need to hear your two cents by the sounds of it. Ill ask all the questions I want till I fell I have got the answers I'm looking for. Sometimes a guy doesn't comprehend everything when he reads, I'm not a big reader at all in fact I hate reading and would rather ask questions. I however have been reading my Lymans books But there's only so much I can take in in one day reading.

You really do need to read more. Asking questions is nice, but you have to be able to catch their mistakes, and you can't do this without reading.

Keep calm
ryans01z28, despite his snarkiness, farmerboy is trying to help.
I realize, despite your snarkiness, you are doing your best to learn.
Asking questions is a good thing. But remember, in life, believe only half of what you see and one quarter of what you hear. That goes double for everything you find on the internet (with the possible exception of the actual web sites of the bullet and powder manufacturers). Hare-brained reloaders might have dangerous habits and even an honest typographical error could be deadly.
Verify for yourself everything you learn from casual sources. You do this by reading authoritative sources.
To answer two of your questions (piercing primers and seating primers):
CCI Primers have a reputation for being tough. I would worry LEAST about pierced primers with them. But that toughness comes at a price. Sometimes the firing pin strike is inadequate to ignite those tough primers. Federal primers (I hear) have a reputation for being easy to ignite, but, you can guess it, sometimes get themselves pierced by over-energetic firing pin strikes.
If you get failures to fire a lot with CCI, switch to a primer manufacturer who uses softer/thinner metal in their small rifle primers, or switch to a stronger mainspring. But first, make sure the firing pin channel does not have any dried-up grease or other stuff slowing it down. Sometimes happens with brand-new guns.
If you get pierced primers, make sure the firing pin nose is not the problem. The pin should be smooth and round with no burrs or roughness. If the firing pin is too long, that can pierce a primer, too, but a gunsmith might be required to tell. The store that sold the rifle to you might be asked to step up to verify this. You can make the measurement yourself if you have calipers and the dimensions. Final cure is to install a lighter mainspring.
There may be other cures, too, but I can't think of them. I would probably start a thread on my favorite internet forum, asking questions. (This is my version of snarkiness.)
Seating primers is VERY important. Boxer primers (the ones used primarily in the U.S.) are constructed three principal elements; the cup, the anvil and the priming compound. You will find drawings of primer cross-sections in many loading manuals in their early (the how-to) chapters.
As manufactured, the primers are fairly safe. You can even crush them (slowly) and the priming compound will not ignite. If you crush them fast, the probably will ignite. When you seat the primer, the anvil pushes into the cup as the primer is seated into the bottom of the primer pocket (in the back of the cartridge case). This stresses the priming compound slightly and makes it easier to ignite when the primer is struck by the firing pin. That's point #1.
Point #2. When a primer is not seated fully into the primer pocket, two things can happen. The firing pin strike may not ignite the primer because most of the energy of the strike is cushioned and absorbed by driving the primer deeper into the pocket. A second strike will usually ignite such a primer. The other thing that could happen is much worse. If the primer is high (standing proud of the rear face of the cartridge) it can jam up your firearm, not allowing the breech to fully close (or, in a revolver, not allowing the cylinder to rotate). This can be disastrous in the worst case. If the breech of your firearm is not fully closed the firing mechanism is not SUPPOSED to work. If it is only ALMOST not fully closed, some firearms (because of manufacturing and operating tolerances) can still fire. Firing with a not-fully-locked chamber can knock the bolt back, releasing burning gasses and brass schrapnel into your face.
Advice; make sure each primer is seated into the primer pocket such that the exposed primer face is below flush. Do this by inspecting each cartridge twice. Once, immediately after seating the primer and once when boxing up the finished ammo. Check them visually and by feeling with your finger. When you have a practiced eye and practiced finger (no, not THAT finger!) this will become second nature to you.
Good luck and thanks for asking our advice and for reading this far.

Hey thanks lost sheep, I'm lucky if I believe 1/4 of the info on the net and the gun smith I talked to says the same. Here's one for ya, I notice on these black rifles NOT just mine, that when a shell is chambered but NOT fired, and u take that shell back out and look at the primer it has a small dent in it from the pin. Has anyone noticed that before? I read somewhere that is caused because these guns have a "floating pin"

It's common. It's an indication of how close the firing pin is to setting off the primer during chambering, when everything is in spec.
Too soft a primer cup, primer seated too high, case not full-length resized and doesn't chamber completely are all factors that can lead to a slam-fire.
A few years ago, I read there were three types of reloading, in increasing difficulty -
1. Reloading for pistol
2. Reloading bottlenecked cartridges
3. Reloading bottlenecked cartridges for gas-operated semi-autos
There's no reason why someone can't do #3. Bear in mind, however, that starting out with #3 is going to be more of a challenge than working up from #1.

I am also wondering with this lee 1000 turret press I have, it automaticly punchs the primer out and puts a new one in but the primer pocket won't get cleaned out. Do or should I get another press dedicated for punching primers so I can clean the pockets or how do u go about doing this. My lee turret press is a 3hole design

ryan you will find MANY opinons on primer pocet cleaning. PERSONALLY I clean every primer pocket I reload. I feel it gives me more consistency in primer seating. Others won't agree. I use a universal deprimer then tumble the cases (rifle and handgun) then resize and reprime. I prefer the case clean before it goes into my resizing die. Once again, that's MY way, not necessarily the right way and DEFINATELY not the only way.
try this for your primers:
the two listing for 223 are both small rifle but the first is for milspec to help prevent slamfires. I shoot a Savage Edge Bolt gun so I use the regular smal rifle primer.
The load I'm currently loading for mine is 22.5 Grains of AA2230 with a 55 gr Hornady spirepoint.

Hey thanks ill have to order some primers from them looks like I can get cc#4w for the 5.56mm case that would insure me a good and propper fit. As foar as the cleaning goes I'm sure there lots of different ways to do it I thought maybe I'd get another cheap reloader just for primers to make sure everything is cleaned proper but maybe I can just use my turret press and be done with it

AFAIK, you can't clean primer pockets on a reloading press, though some larger presses (like the Dillon 1050) may have the capability to swage primer pockets.
This tool is one (expensive) way to handle military cases with crimped primer pockets -
It's a Dillon Super Swage 600.
And this tool can be used with a battery drill to uniform primer pockets to the correct depth for primer seating.
It's a Sinclair Primer Pocket Uniformer.
I've found out that I only have to uniform primer pockets once, as the cases only last for 5 firings before head separation is an issue. I haven't had any trouble seating below flush with that number of firings. Yes, there is some residue in the pocket, but not much.
It is very common to handle bottleneck cartridge case prep as a "break out" operation after resizing/repriming, then resume operations on the press. Some even prefer using a hand priming tool to the sometimes troublesome auto primer feeds on the press.
This lets you do things like clean off excess lube (to prevent powder bridging at the case mouth), check for and correct case length by trimming, and check cartridge headspace with a gauge.
Then, once you have a bucket of "prepped brass", you can use the press for powder charge and bullet seating.

Looks good. It will do everything for case prep except trimming, which requires another tool.

Yep I plan on getting a universal Lee trimmer for the cases.
What's the best was to get the primes out of the Lake City brass? Lee decapper or RCBS swage tool?

The RCBS swage tool is for removing the crimp AFTER the primer is removed. I have one, but prefer a Hornady reamer for removing the crimp.

Nahom Tsegazab was sentenced to 14 years in prison for manslaughter in the shooting on Danzig Street in July 2012, which killed two bystanders and wounded 23 others.
Tsegazab, 21, will serve 11 years and five months of his sentence after credit for pre-trial custody.
Tsegazab pleaded guilty to two counts of manslaughter and six counts of aggravated assault on Friday morning.
Tsegazab was charged in November 2012 with two counts of second-degree murder, one count of attempted murder, and 22 counts of aggravated assault.
The mass shooting at a community barbecue outside a Danzig Street complex killed 14-year-old Shyanne Charles and 23-year-old Joshua Yasay.
Tsegazab, nickname "Gifted," is alleged to be a member of the Galloway Boys gang, according to police.
Police said they believed the shooting occurred after a rival gang member was turned away from the barbecue.
Malvern Crew gang member Shaquan "Bam Bam" Mesquito and two youths, who cannot be named under the provisions of the Youth Criminal Justice Act, were also arrested in 2012 in connection to the shooting.
Mesquito, charged when he was 18, faces two counts of first-degree murder and multiple aggravated assault charges.
The first youth, arrested when he was 17, was charged with two counts of second-degree murder, 22 counts of aggravated assault and one count each of attempted murder and recklessly discharging a firearm.
The second youth, arrested at age 16, faces four charges, including using a firearm to commit an indictable offense, threatening death, unauthorized possession of a restricted weapon, and possession of a firearm knowing its possession is unauthorized.

Sprint Nextel Corp. is being sued for $300 million by New York Atty. Gen. Eric T. Schneiderman, who is accusing the wireless carrier of tax fraud.
Schneiderman called Thursday's suit – which alleges, based on a whistle-blower's tip, that Sprint underpaid sales tax on some of its wireless plans for the last seven years – a "groundbreaking" filing.
The complaint alleges that Sprint's debt to New York is growing by $210,000 a week. Schneiderman claims the company already owes more than $100 million. Under the state's False Claims Act, Sprint could be forced to pay out three times that in penalties.
The legislation also could require a quarter of any future settlement to go to the as yet unnamed whistle-blower, whose March 2011 suit against Sprint sparked the attorney general's investigation.
Sprint, in a statement, said the government's suit "is without merit" and that it "categorically denies the complaint's allegations."
"We have collected and paid over to New York every penny of sales taxes on mobile wireless services that we believe our customers owe under New York state law," the statement read. "We intend to stand up for New York consumers' rights and fight this suit."
Sprint's argument is that New York should only tax calls on its flat-rate plans that originate and end within the state. Schneiderman said the company is on the hook for the full amount of its monthly charges, and mentioned that Sprint's competitors – including Verizon, AT&T and T-Mobile – all have complied.
But since 2005, Sprint has "repeatedly and knowingly submitted false records and statements" to tax authorities and "concealed this practice from taxing authorities, its competitors, and its customers," the attorney general's office alleges.
The complaint claims that Sprint's alleged tax dodging was an effort to "obtain an advantage over its competitors" by positioning its calling plans as cheaper options.
"The message of our office is clear - tax dodging is not acceptable and we will use every tool in our arsenal to make sure that taxpayers' money is protected, and that honest businesses and consumers are not placed at a disadvantage for collecting and paying their fair share of taxes," Schneiderman said.

For me, the biggest head-scratcher thus far in the legislative session is how Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus will fund transportation, fund the water plan, upgrade schools and shape up higher ed AND cut our taxes.
That's the promise, anyway.
Today, Gov. Perry elaborated a bit, and he asked for help. In an address to the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation, the governor said this:
The last two years tell us that people do the most good when they keep more of their own money, so they can start new businesses, invest in new equipment, hire new employees, and blaze new trails.
Time and again, we've seen that the best use of the people's money is to give it back to them in some form or fashion.I think that's an important discussion to have.
In fact, I'd like to advance the discussion beyond the Dome, and I invite everyone to go to my website, gov.Texas.gov, and share with us your own thoughts on what's the best way to provide tax relief to Texas.
Now, this being the Internet, some of the ideas will be better than others, but this represents a chance to hear some fresh ideas, and jumpstart a very important conversation on taxes.
There you have it. Perry wants to know how you want your taxes cut. I have only a few that I pay lots to, those would be the sales tax and gasoline taxes.
Most every other one is a tack-on to things I buy or need, like utilities or insurance, and lowering them isn't going to make a difference in my life.
What am I forgetting?
Ah, yes. The oyster tax. And I love oysters. The Texas comptroller's site says it's $1 on a a 300-lb barrel taken from Texas waters. Governor, let my oysters go, and life would be so much grander.
Actually, Dewhurst telegraphed the smart bets yesterday, as seen in today's coverage of the top three leaders laying out session goals.
"We're taking a look at how we can reduce some of the business taxes," Dewhurst said. "Maybe things we can do with property taxes through homestead exemptions."
Those are red-meat ideas for the base: Relief for businesses and property tax payers. That would be me, too, but it's tough for the state to buy down property taxes that are collected and spent by local jurisdictions.
If not these, what taxes make a difference in your life and could the state afford to cut?

You can't really call this movie a romantic comedy. Yes, it's funny, and yes in a weird way it's romantic, but it is anything but your average boy-meets-girl, boy-loses-girl, boy-gets-girl-back rom-com. And that's good and bad: good in that it demonstrates some originality, bad in that ultimately it's a little unsatisfying.
Celeste (Rashida Jones) and Jesse (Andy Samberg) are meant to be. They are the yin and yang of couples. They finish each other's sentences, they support each other in their life choices, and just when we really start to get how well they mesh, lightning strikes. They are out to dinner with their best friends Tucker (Eric Christian Olsen) and Beth (Ari Graynor) and Beth snaps, informing us that Celeste and Jesse have been separated for six months and are divorcing, yet they spend every dysfunctional minute together like teenagers in love. In a desperate attempt to arouse her jealousy and win Celeste back, Jesse decides to start dating—and that's when the trouble starts.
I liked the movie; I didn't love it. Some of the roles are woefully miscast— I could never in a million years picture Beth and Tucker as a couple. Jones and Samberg are great together and the script is smart and funny—although there is more pot smoking than you would find backstage at a reggae concert. All in all, I would call this one a renter.
It's a 6.

Desperate! Colonoscopy prep tomorrow
October 12th, 2011
I wanted to share with everyone my Colonoscopy experience, and prep recommendations for everyone. I know that before I had mine done, I was very nervous and scared about the prep and the procedure. I read so many posts of people's experiences online, and recommendations, that I thought I would share mine. It was a good one. Sorry if this is going to be a bit long. I was very nervous about the prep as I have an extremely high gag reflex, and have never been able to get even cough medicine down. So the only part I was really nervous about was the prep. The prep day is going to be the day that you are on a liquid diet. You can have any clear broth, jello (no red or purple), water popcicles (no red or purple), water, any juice that doesn't have pulp and is not red or purple. You get the jist. I was given the SuPrep bowel kit. This is a little more expensive $40 for me. As the scheduling nurse explained to me, that the more expensive ones, are the ones that don't taste as bad. There are some preps that consist of a gallon that you drink all day 15 minutes apart until done, some people get to take pills. The SuPrep consists of 2 small bottles of prep and a drinking container. 1 bottle for the night of that you will fill the rest with water until the fill line on the drinking container, and another bottle for the next morning. It is only 16 oz! So the night before your prep you drink one of the 16 oz. and you must drink 32 oz of water within 45 minutes of drinking your prep. The prep will make you feel very bloated and full. So I recommend not drinking or eating anything for about 2-3 hours before. The SuPrep will make you very cold. I had read online that when drinking the prep, try to drink it as quick as you can. The slower you drink it, the harder it is to get down. So I got mine down within 3 gulps. I had apple juice, diet mountain dew, and water as chasers handy. I made sure not to smell the prep as I prepared it or before drinking it. I held my nose, and started gulping. I drank until I ran out of breath. Then chased. Then started drinking again. I did gag, but I just took a deep breath, and did what I had to do, trying to keep my mind on anything other than what I was doing. Once I was done, I washed my mouth out with water to get the taste out of my mouth, then went to brush my teeth and swish with listerine. I highley recommend after doing the prep, sit down on the couch with your water, and put the T.V. on something you can get into to take your mind off of the bloated feeling in your stomach. Just get engrossed in the T.V. and sip on your water. The prep works at different times for different people. Because I had already not been going on my own without help, it took a little over 2 hours to work for me. When you feel the urge to go, DO NOT run to the bathroom, you won't make it. Keep close to the bathroom, it will be your best friend. About 3 and a half hours after beginning my close relationship to the bathroom, I was finally empty and able to go to sleep. The next morning I had to wake up at 5:20 and take my second round of prep. This one was a little more difficult, not the drinking part, just the way I felt afterwards. I felt a little faint after this one, and I think it was because I was a little dehydrated. Again after drinking you must drink 32 oz. of water within 45 minutes of finishing the prep. This time, the prep worked on me instantly. I had just enough time to finish my prep, grab my bottle of water, and walk to my bedroom, and it was ready for me to begin my relationship with the bathroom. I didn't finish going to the bathroom up until it was time for me to leave to have the procedure which was at 9:30 am. It slowed down a lot though. The procedure was absolutely a breeze. You are put to sleep, and you don't remember a thing. You won't hurt afterwards. I was given Propofol to put me to sleep. I had to pay extra for that kind, as I didn't meet the qualifications for insurance to pay for it, but for me it was worth it. You are not as groggy afterwards, and you wake up quicker, and you have a less likely chance of being nauseous afterwards. For me, that was what made me want to pay extra for it. I was ready to get out of there and get something to eat. I had a small nodule on my terminal illeum, and I was a bit red in my colon, so they did a biopsy on the nodule, and of the upper and lower colon. All my biopsies came back negative.
It is definitly worth it to have a colonoscopy done. It is nerve racking if you have never had one done, but in the end it is worth it to know that you are healthy. I am only 27, so I am not of age yet. I had to have one done, because I have chronic pain in my stomach, and they didn't know why. We found out the same day, that the results from another test I had done showed that my gallbladder was only functioning at 18%, so I am having to have it taken out. Glad to know what is finally going on after 2 years of pain.
I hope everyone who is having to have this done for the first time finds this helpful, and I'm sorry it was so long.

Manufactured Gas Plants
Former Watsonville-2 Manufactured Gas Plant
History: The former Watsonville-2 manufactured gas plant (MGP) operated from 1905 to 1931. All buildings and plant structures were later torn down. PG&E built an underground gas regulating station on-site in the late 1950s and currently uses the site for storage of construction materials. Investigations were performed at the site to determine the extent of cleanup necessary for soil and groundwater.
Overview: In July 2010, environmental remediation work at the site was completed. This work was part of a voluntary program under the oversight of the California Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). The seven-month-long project involved the removal of impacted soil beneath the footprint of the former MGP. To maintain an open dialogue with the community, PG&E representatives worked with State officials to hold public meetings and conducted door-to-door outreach before, during and after construction activities.
Community Benefits: During the work, PG&E minimized impacts to the community by rerouting trucks to avoid the residential neighborhood, varied work hours to meet the needs of nearby residents and businesses, and performed daily street sweeping. Some benefits of the project included planting of trees, repaving of an alley and installation of sidewalks, fences, curbs and gutters along the public right-of-way.
Sustainability: Sustainable practices are important to PG&E. We try to reduce our carbon footprint on environmental remediation projects to the greatest extent possible. On this project, we were able to recycle 714 tons of material, reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 132 tons and contribute $1,228,000 to the local economy to date.

Merlene Ottey arrives in Jamaica for top honours
Olympian Merlene Ottey has arrived in Jamaica ahead of a special ceremony on Saturday, February 16 where she University of Technology (UTech) will confer on her the Honorary Doctor of Technology, Sport.
The function will be held at Ottey's alma mater, Vere Technical High School and will form part of the staging of the Ben Francis Invitational III meet being hosted by Vere Technical in honour Ottey.
Ottey accepted UTech's offer to award her the honorary degree which was to have been conferred at one of the University's two graduation ceremonies held last November 2012.
She was however unable to travel to Jamaica at that time.
Ottey is to receive this honorary degree in recognition of her outstanding athletic achievements and her widely respected contribution to the worldwide acclaim of Jamaica as a leader in Track & Field.
Ottey competed in six Olympic Games for Jamaica and won more Olympic medals in track and field history than any other female athlete.
She became the first female athlete in the English-speaking Caribbean to win an Olympic medal when she won bronze in the 200m in 1980 and became the oldest woman to ever win an Olympic medal with her final one, her silver medal as part of the 4x100 m Jamaica team at the 2000 Sydney games.

" Brand: Peppa Pig "
* Prices may differ from that shown
Jayden loves watching Peppa Pig, as soon as he hears the theme tune he stops what he is doing and will sit and watch the whole episode without moving, because of his love for Peppa Pig he did receive quite a few Peppa Pig related gifts from people. One gift he received from his Godfather was the Jumping in Muddy Puddles Peppa Pig.
Peppa Pig is basically a little pink pig who wears a bright red dress, the Jumping in Muddle Puddles Peppa Pig is basically a soft toy version of this, the toy wears the same bright red dress and her yellow boots which she always wears when jumping in muddy puddles, Peppa is also covered with mud splashes to show that she has been jumping in the mud. All of the eyes, mouth and other features are stitched directly onto the toy so there are no small parts which could be easily pulled off or fall off during play. This toy is described as being suitable for 3 years and older, Jayden is younger than this, however he is not left alone with the toy at any time and is always supervised when he is playing with it.
Jumping in Muddy Puddles Peppa Pig is not just a soft toy, there is a small button located in the chest area, when presses Peppa Pig starts jumping up and down and recites different phrases, some of which are from the episodes of the TV programme. Peppa says phrases such as "I love jumping in muddy puddles" and "Splish, splash spolsh", amongst others including counting from 1 to 10, the phrases are spoken clearly and are easy for a young child to understand.
This toy measures 26cm (H) 22cm (W) and 18cm (D) it takes 3 AA batteries which are not included, these are inserted into a small case in Peppa's back, this screws shut so that your child cannot open it and Peppas dress velcros over the case so that it is not visible, however should the case be exposed you do not have to worry about you child getting to the batteries as the case is secure.
Jumping in Muddy Puddles Peppa Pig is available from Argos and is sold for £19.99, personally I would say this is a fair price as this item is very well made, it is strong and durable and hardwearing. There is not a huge amount to do with the Jumping in muddy Puddles Peppa Pig other than making it bounce and listening to the phrases, it is quite repetitive, however this is what young children like.
Jayden really seems to like his Jumping in muddy Puddles Peppa Pig toy, it is a little too old for him as he does struggle to press the button to make Peppa jump and speak, however we help him with this and he loves listening to the phrases and watching Peppa jump around. I would say that this is sold for a fair price as it is durable as I have mentioned although personally I do think what you can do with the toy is a little limited, however this does not bother Jayden at all and he loves the repetitiveness. There is no real educational value to this toy other than when Peppa counts for 1 to 10, this is more of a fun toy for your child rather than educational. Personally I think this toy is more aimed at girls, Jaydens Godfather bought this purely becuase it was Peppa Pig related and this is why Jayden likes it, however it is probably not something I would buy for a little boy. However despite this I would recommend this toy if your child is a fan of Peppa Pig as Jayden is
My little girl loves Peppa pig so of course when the advert for Peppa jumping in muddy puddles came on Nick Jr over and over again it caught her attention. This was one of the items my daughter had on her Christmas list for Santa. I purchased ours from Tesco direct but it is available in most large toy stores and online for around £20. I was surprised at the size when I picked it up as it was actually larger than I expected. Usually with Peppa pig you pay large amounts of money for small toys as it is such a popular TV show but this seemed a reasonable price for what it is.
Peppa looks exactly like her character on the TV show and of course her voice is the same too. My daughter knew what it was as soon as she opened her present and was very excited that Santa had managed to get her what she wanted. Peppa comes in her familiar red dress and the whole toy feels well made. You can tell that there is a battery compartment inside as it is a little heavier than a teddy, but at the same time the toy is soft enough for little one to cuddle if they wish too.
You do need 3 AA batteries and they are not included so it takes a few minutes to set Peppa up before little one can play. This is when we started noticing the many problems with this toy. To add the batteries you have to pull the material apart at the back of Peppa, and then unscrew the battery compartment. The problem is there is only a tiny hole in the material so it is extremely difficult to even take the back off. After ten minutes of messing we managed to get the batteries in and my daughter was ready to play. You will need a screwdriver to get into the back to add the batteries.
In use
Peppa has flat feet so she can easily be placed on the floor. She has brown patches splashed all over her to show where she has been jumping in muddy puddles which my children thought was hilarious. The puddle marks on Peppa are actually a little scratchy and rougher in consistency than the rest of Peppa which my daughter thought was brilliant, as it means Peppa must have has really been jumping in the puddles to get that difference in texture. You need to press a small button that is located at the top right of her body to activate the interactive features. To be honest we found this hard to find and were pressing her hands, feet and belly with no success. It was only because my little gave Peppa a cuddle that we managed to find the activation button. It is hard to find as it is so small which makes it difficult to press until you have used it a few times.
Once you press Peppa she springs to life instantly. Her little legs start bending and she jumps in the air. She only just leaves the floor and it is not too adventurous, but there is enough to entertain my children. She says a number of phrases from the TV show but to be honest the variation is a bit poor. She introduces herself and invites little one to come and play with her. There are maybe three or four different sayings and then Peppa counts to ten as she jumps. The counting part is the most interactive part of this toy and my children always count along with Peppa. The numbers are clear and anything Peppa says can be clearly heard. The toy is not overly loud, but the mechanical noise when she jumps can be annoying.
Sometimes Peppa will stop half way through counting and jumping for no reason. You have to re press Peppa but often this means it skips straight past the counting and on to some of the shorter phrases. My daughter has to keep pressing the button until the loop continues round to the counting again. Also my little girl likes to try and hold Peppa's hand while she jumps. The thing is because Peppa is a little middle heavy due to the battery compartment the slightest touch sends her off balance and she falls over. Now my daughter luckily thought this was hilarious and just says that Peppa is rolling on the floor snorting in laughter like she does in the TV show, but it can become frustrating if little one is trying to count along.
Other than jumping on the floor Peppa usually gets used for cuddles. She is soft enough that she can provide lovely cuddles for little one and is light enough for them to hold. My little girl does love Peppa but we just find it a little boring. The thing is this is a toy that has barley been looked at since Christmas. At first my little girl would not leave it alone, but because there are so few phrases and Peppa never really does a lot she becomes bored of it. Also Peppa seems to work when she wants too. Sometimes she will really jump up and down and count to ten but others she limply tries to move and just says one phrase and then switches off. If she does receive use it will be at five minutes at a time so it does not really hold children's attention for long periods of time.
As Peppa jumps there is a swirling mechanical noise in the background. It is not so loud that it covers up what Peppa is saying, but it is a constant drone that can become annoying. My little girl does not seem to notice this at all she is just happy to count along with Peppa but over time it can becoming annoying for parents. Also the batteries run out so quickly. We have swapped to rechargeable now as fresh batteries had been worn out with two hours! Age recommendation is three years plus which I think is correct as it can be a pain to activate. My children call all operate it now but at first they found it very difficult.
This toy was well received by my daughter and at first she would not put it down. Peppa can jump on flat surfaces, and she does encourage little one to count with her. The thing is with all the problems that this toy has there is just nothing interesting enough to persuade my daughter to choose this toy to play with. The phrases are simple and repeated over and over again and generally there is not a lot to do. She looks pretty and a Peppa pig fan will be drawn towards her, but once they come across the other problems they seem to lose interest quickly. At £20 it is not overly expensive especially considering its size and features compared to the other Peppa pig range. I am not sure if I would recommend this it did provide some fun for my daughter but it really does only receive a small amount of play. If your child must have it they may enjoy it, but if you think they would become frustrated with the problems I would avoid it.

Happy Thanksgiving!
The U.S. has had many early observances of giving thanks, but it was not permanently made a national holiday until President Abraham Lincoln's proclamation in 1863. Even though the nation was in the midst of the Civil War, President Lincoln observed that there were still many things for which to be thankful.
Since the original proclamation by President Lincoln and an act of Congress cementing the official date to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday starting in 1942, Thanksgiving has been a time for families and friends to get together to enjoy themselves with a great meal, the start of the Holiday shopping season, and game watching on TV. While enjoying the Thanksgiving holiday, like many of you, I will reflect on its underpinnings and pause to give thanks.
At the Law Center, we also have many blessings that are important to acknowledge and for which we are very thankful. We are thankful for the Law Center's powerhouse faculty, who have top-notch academic credentials and whose scholarship transforms the debate and discussion of globally and nationally significant issues.
We are thankful for the Law Center's engaged and well-credentialed student body. The first year students have a median UGPA of 3.54, which is the highest median UGPA since 2007. They also are very diverse with more than 35 percent members of racial/ethnic minorities with the largest percentage of Hispanic students in the Law Center's history.
We are thankful for the Law Center's innovative clinics and academic centers and institutes which work (with our students) to transform the world through their research and advocacy and help serve some of the most underserved members of the Houston community.
We are thankful for the Law Center's hard working and dedicated staff that ensures the Law Center runs smoothly and professionally to provide opportunities for our students and support for our faculty.
We are thankful for the Law Center's alumni who are world leaders in the legal community and society who through their legal practice represent clients and advocate for socially and economically important issues. Our alumni also give back to the Law Center with their financial contributions, time spent mentoring students, and commitment to hiring our students; this paves the way for the future generation of Law Center graduates. I am personally very thankful and very blessed to serve as your dean for the past sixteen months.
For all these blessings, we should make sure that we give thanks.
All the best, Len
Leonard M. Baynes Dean & Professor of Law University of Houston Law Center

A FENCE has been put up to stop people driving along an Ilminster road at risk of falling in a landslip.
The 70m stretch of New Road (pictured), also known as Cemetery Hill, was closed on February 13 after cracks in the road started to widen.
But numerous drivers ignored or moved the 'road closed' signs and used the route as usual.
Now a metal fence has been put up to block drivers, while staff from Somerset County Council's highways department monitor the situation.
A council spokesman said: "There are big cracks and they are still widening. "The road is still closed and will be for the foreseeable future. It's hard to put a timeframe on it."

Sure it's fun to play god, but what happens when a bunch of other gods are out to get you? Gas Powered Games lets you find out for yourself in Demigod, a hybrid of role-playing and strategy.
Some might complain that there's not much of a story to speak of, but with this type of game it's not really needed. Demigod is hard to pin down. It clearly draws its inspiration from Defense of the Ancients, a popular mod for WarCraft III, but it's definitely not a rip-off.
Players take control of one of eight Demigods and battle it out in one of eight beautifully rendered combat arenas. As the battle progresses, two teams of up to five Demigods per side attempt to infiltrate enemy territory and eventually take down the opposing side's citadel, which is the source of their power.
Each arena is filled with special territories which can be claimed for gameplay bonuses, and massive defensive structures which need to be destroyed in order to progress. There are also two other gameplay modes where you must hold certain parts of the map or kill as many enemy demigods as possible.
Demigod includes a single-player tournament mode where you play through a series of battles using the same character each time. There's also a full-featured skirmish mode, but the real action is online where two teams of up to five players square off in arena-style combat. There's also an online tournament mode called pantheon that tracks how well you and your side are doing over a series of battles.
No matter what mode you play, the gods aren't the only ones in the arena. Each team continually spawns groups of reinforcements--smaller, less powerful units that wage an attack on enemy creatures and fortifications. It requires a combination of reinforcements and powerful Demigod abilities to bring down the enemy. In this way, Demigod feels like a simple real-time strategy game with very limited unit control.
But there is more going on here. As you fight, your demigod gains experience levels that can be used to purchase additional skills and abilities from a skill tree. Each demigod possesses unique traits which can be used to compliment your teammates or directly hinder your enemies.
Gold, gained through territory ownership and battle, is used to purchase items and equipment which, given enough time and money, can make your demigod incredibly powerful. Players can also spend their gold purchasing special upgrades for their citadel which, when used wisely, can turn the tide of battle. So in this way, Demigod feels a lot like an RPG.
Unless you're already familiar with games like Defense of the Ancients, your first impression of Demigod will likely be one of frustration or confusion. Although on the surface it looks a lot like a real-time strategy game, it really doesn't play like one. The game also lacks a tutorial, which doesn't help matters. The instruction manual does include a guide to get you up and running with the basics, but it lacks sufficient detail on much of what the game has to offer.
However, once you have a match or two under your belt, Demigod comes across as a game that's very easy to pick up, but hard to master. The basics of how you control your characters, buy and use items and skills, and how you go about actually winning a game are simple. So simple, in fact, that you might think that there's not a lot of depth to Demigod. But there's a lot of interplay here between the individual powers each character may possess, the kinds of items and equipment you can use, and the way in which you upgrade your citadel. And that makes it very hard to come up with some kind of perfect build. There are just too many ways for a clever opponent to counter.
Take Rook for example. He's the big walking castle guy. He's slow and appears to be geared towards taking out enemy defenses. Against faster and more aggressive demigods, Rook would appear outmatched. But Rook can also focus on building additional structures on his body which are able to auto-target and attack multiple enemies. Compliment this with speed enhancing items and additional armor and suddenly you've got a Rook build that works as well as an assault class character. Each of Demigod's eight characters are multifaceted in this way.
So in the end, it comes down to adapting your build strategies on the fly based on what the enemy is doing and understanding how some seemingly weak powers can be devastating in the right situation. Add in a bunch of other players trying to do the same thing and you're in for one gloriously messy battle.
Unfortunately, there are still some problems getting connected to multiplayer games. Within the last week, things have improved dramatically and we're able to connect to games with greater ease, but it can still be spotty on occasion.
The graphics in Demigod are a real feast for the eyes, but at the same time, limited. Zoom in close and you witness each character slugging it out, unleashing a fury of magical attacks, or crumbling to dust under a well-placed shot from a rival. Zoom all the way out and you'll realize that the engine isn't exactly pushing a ton of geometry. Even the larger ones like "The Brothers" or "Exile" are exponentially smaller than levels from most games in the genre. Yet they're both simultaneously sinister and beautiful.
The soundtrack is a high point. The thunderously orchestral music perfectly compliments the ongoing tug-of-war-style gameplay. Demigod is good enough to work without all the window dressing, but we are certainly glad it's there.
Despite some of the multiplayer technical issues that are still ongoing, Demigod is an absolute blast to play. Anyone complaining about the lack of a single-player campaign is clearly missing the point. Demigod is a competitive strategy game through and through. It's a solid design that holds up well after numerous matches, and the more you play, the more you discover that the waters in Demigod run very deep. Yet, DOTA vets will find it mysteriously similar, and the lack of tutorials or documentation will keep many players from plumbing its depths.

Johannesburg - The United States has not yet asked South Africa to prevent Haiti's exiled ex-president Jean-Bertrand Aristide from returning to his country before elections, a spokesperson said Tuesday.Aristide's aides in Haiti said last week the return of the ousted leader, who has been living in South Africa since 2004, was "imminent"."The United States has not approached us regarding this matter. Aristide is still in South Africa. That is all I can say," foreign ministry spokesperson Saul Molobi said.US State Department spokesperson Mark Toner said on Monday that Washington believed Aristide's return would cause political turmoil as the country prepares for Sunday's presidential run-off.Destabilising"To return prior to the election may potentially be destabilising to the political process," he said, adding that Washington was asking South Africa to make the same request to Aristide.Haiti cleared the way for Aristide's return by issuing him with a new passport in February.Aristide and his wife Mildred work at the University of South Africa in Pretoria, where he received a PhD in African languages in 2007.Aristide served three presidential terms and was ousted from office twice, eventually fleeing a 2004 popular uprising aboard a US plane.He remains a popular figure in certain quarters in Haiti, especially in the capital's teeming slums, and in the tent cities that have sprung up since the January 2010 earthquake where many decry the slow pace of progress.
And why would he give up his free ride on the Taxpayers expense? He has a nice house in Waterkloof al paid for by the state! What a life!
If the US is so concerned, why don't they take this parasite to go and live with them? Or at least pay for his stay here in S.A.?
Our own people are poor, jobless and suffering, while Aristide lives a life in opulence at their expense.
Just get rid of Aristide. Let him go and face the music in his own country.
Don't forget the family.
Maseratifitt, remember that they are scared of him because he is preaching against exploitation of poor people like your people. He is loved in Haiti by the popular movement. Some countries want to use Haiti to their own interests without giving a chance to the Haitian people. Aristide does not want to live in the US. He wants to go home, to his land , my land (the land of Toussaint Louverture and Jean Jacques Dessalines) .
He is Gozzila's cousin from another mother
Great. Maybe the US can accomodate this leach and give him a mansion to live in somewhere in Beverley Hills. CA. Other than that, let him go home and lie in the bed he made.
Why is he living here??????? He should be in Haiti... WTF kind of president is THIS??? F*CK me you animals are useless!!!!

Monitor Audio Silver S2 loudspeaker
The Silver S2 is a nicely finished speaker with elegant proportions. The unbraced cabinet is made from ¾" MDF, veneered on both sides and lined with foam. The crossover is mounted to a printed circuit board behind the two pairs of binding posts. The drivers are connected with fairly heavy-duty cable, and the connections are soldered, a nice touch at this price level.
The two magnetically shielded drive-units are mounted vertically in line. As well as cast chassis, they feature diaphragms formed from an aluminum-magnesium alloy that Monitor Audio calls "C-CAM." The 1" tweeter has a protective mesh grille, the woofer a flared cone with a bullet-shaped dustcap and a half-roll rubber surround. The woofer's nominal chassis diameter is 7"—quite large for a two-way design.
The Silver S2s sat on 24" Celestion Si stands, the central pillars of which were filled with sand and lead shot, and I discarded the bulky fabric-over-wood-frame grilles for my auditioning. With the speakers sitting in the same positions as the Earthworks monitors that I reviewed in June and that had preceded them in my listening room, my initial impressions were positive. Although the Monitor Audios offered nothing like the vividly clear view into the recorded soundstage that the very much more expensive Earthworks had done, the English speakers offered a noticeably bighearted sound.
The most obvious characteristic of the Silver S2's sonic signature was its mellow treble. When cymbals were recorded too "hot"—as they are in most rock—the Monitor Audios made them sound acceptable. But when cymbals had been recorded with a more natural high-frequency balance, as on Ry Cooder and Manuel Galbán's Mambo Sinuendo (CD, Perro Verde/Nonesuch PRCD 300999), some of the instruments' top-octave air was suppressed. And old recordings of uncertain pedigree, as on Keith Richards' superbly eclectic The Devil Music blues compilation (cover-mounted a while back on an issue of UK magazine Uncut), were a little on the lifeless side. But so tired am I of the rather relentless highs that rock engineers seem to feel mandatory—as on Fleetwood Mac's new Say You Will DVD-Audio disc, for example (Reprise 48394-9)—that I can put up with a speaker not having enough energy above 5kHz much more easily than I can one that has exaggerated highs.
The overall level of coloration was respectably low, taking the speaker's $750/pair price into account. There was a touch of "bite" occasionally audible in the mid-treble as added sibilance, but not so much as to distract from the music. The upper midrange was clean, though piano sounded rather uneven, some notes sounding more "hooty" than others. Well-recorded orchestral recordings such as July's "Recording of the Month," violinist Rachel Podger performing Vivaldi concertos (CD, Channel Classics CCS19598), again sounded a little on the warm side. While this was not unpleasant, the S2's lower midrange definitely lacked clarity, though there was nothing specific that I could put my finger on.
This was partly because the effect was very recording-dependent. The superbly natural-sounding SACD of Dennis Russell Davies' somewhat cautious performance of Holst's The Planets (two-channel mix, Chesky SACD 234), for example, sounded much cleaner than I was expecting from my prior listening to the Channel Classics Vivaldi, though this might well have something to do with the composer's very open scoring for the enormous orchestral forces demanded by this work.

This news greatly excited the poker community since the last similar event at the WSOP was carried out 33 years ago. Team tournaments in 7-Card Stud entered the WSOP schedule in 1979, when the legendary Doyle Brunson joined forces with Darla Brodie to win 1 of 10 of their championship gold WSOP bracelet.

Game Changers: Judy Rose
Game Changers: Judy RosePublished September 9, 2013
Adding football at UNC Charlotte has been the biggest challenge and achievement of Rose's career.
Rose remembers telling Eric Hyman, the athletic director at Texas A&M, that Charlotte planned to institute football. "He said, 'Judy, are you crazy?'" Rose recalls. "But we've accomplished a lot here, and this is a new challenge."
A former assistant basketball coach under Pat Summitt at Tennessee, Rose said starting football has created time and staffing challenges that will strain the athletic department unlike anything they've done before. "The pressure I feel now is having enough time and not feeling guilty because I might have to miss a game in soccer or volleyball," she said. "I was an Olympic-sport athlete and I knew we didn't make money, but it was important to me that the staff came to our games. I also might not know all of the student athletes as well; you just can't. I feel guilty about that too. But this is a new challenge and, perception-wise, football makes you more of a complete university and more of a complete athletic department."
- Crowning professional achievement: Adding the sport of football.
- Biggest professional disappointment: Not doing it sooner; probably have missed potential opportunities.
- Person who had the biggest influence on your career in sports: Two: C.M. Newton and DeLoss Dodds. Both seasoned ADs from large institutions, they took me under their wings, and I credit them both for my being selected as the first woman to serve on the NCAA men's basketball committee.
- Best advice you've received: My husband told me, "It is your responsibility to educate men on how you expect to be treated" (in regard to being the third female AD in Division I).
- What would you, at age 18, find surprising about the person you've become today?: That instead of coaching student athletes, I now coach the coaches and administrators.
"Judy Rose is an outstanding administrator. I closely observed her as a member of the men's basketball committee, and she performed as well as any member in my memory. She clearly understood men's basketball and provided valuable insights to the committee and the total basketball community. She has been a loyal and valuable committee alum and still has an impact on NCAA basketball, both as an athletic director and a former member of the committee."

Seems like a resturant, doesn't it? With the chairs and that yellow sign at the door. It is in Asia of cause, and far enough north to have deciduous trees. I guess Japan or Korea, but it could be northen China as well.
Wonder what it is.........a home, or a business......? It has my curiosity.

The Boy with Tape on His Face - Cornucopia
på Palace Theatre
Once upon a time, Sam Wills was a New Zealand stand-up with a mouthiness problem. But, as The Boy With Tape On His Face, he's created a vintage-style vaudeville act with a modern spin that will instantly make you think of silent, golden age screen comedy legends Harpo Marx and Buster Keaton. If those comic titans of yesteryear strike you as little square and slow-paced by the breakneck standards of our hurtling digital age however, fear not. One-man show The Boy With Tape On His Face is fast-paced, entirely modern, utterly fresh and hilariously funny.
