* Prices may differ from that shown
Ignis is a dragon who everyone loves, he can run faster and fly higher than any of his dragon friends but Ignis has a problem, there is something a dragon must be able to do that Ignis cant, breath fire.
Ignis was very upset about this and every night he would sit in his cave practicing, he would huff and puff untill he went blue in the face and couldnt puff no more but still no fire.
Ignis decided that if he couldnt breath fire he wasnt a real dragon so he left dragon land and all his friends behind to go on a search to find out what he realy was, along the way he makes friends with lots of different animals and a little girl who all help him but will this poor little dragon ever find his fire.
This is a fantastic story for young children and is great as a bed time story as it is long enough to get them settled in bed but not that long that mom falls asleep as well, it has about 40 pages in this fantastic book.
The only problem ive had with this book is my daughters are now trying to teach my bearded dragon to breath fire. Its wonderful how vivid a childs imagination can be.

***Who is P J Lynch***
Born and raised in Belfast, Ireland Lynch remembers family holidays at his relatives farm and his mothers encouragement as being the catalysts to his career as an illustrator and artist.
Lynch is not only an accomplished children's book illustrator. He has also illustrated 4 sets of Christmas stamps for the Irish post office, paints large oil paintings and sculpts in his spare time and has even managed to fit in learning seven musical instruments, although he admits he doesn't play any longer.

***What did I think of the story***
This is a wonderful story of true imagination and tenderness. It is written in a beautifully descriptive manner allowing the reader to no only learn to love the main characters; Ignis and Cara in particular, but to identify and sympathise with him. Ignis's story is not a unique one and as children we have all dealt with the same insecurities and confusion in growing up.
As far as picture books go, there is a fairly substantial amount of text. Some children may shy away from or loose interest in the story simply because it is a bit longer than most, although my 2 year old sit quite happily and somewhat mesmerised as I read each page to him. Personally, I very much enjoy reading children's books which have not "dumbed down" in fear of being too challenging for children. I think these types of books encourage our children to strengthen their reading skills and more importantly in younger kids, their attention span. This book in particular also encourages children to use their imagination and to believe in the unbelievable. These are truly precious yet rare qualities these days.
***What did I think of the illustrations***
Each page was filled with the most intense, rich and vibrant images which the reader instantly gets caught up in. The illustrations are truly magical and mirror the imaginative, fantastical feel of the story perfectly. It is no wonder a 2-year old will sit patiently as I read the extended text - while I read he can get swept way with the delicately painted adventure.
Lynch paints with an incredible detail, which isn't often found in children's books. The characters very nearly dance off the page with their authenticity. Ignis has the most gentle of dragon faces - so real that I can imagine feeling the hot air from his nostrils tickling my skin as I pass my hand under his nose. With Ignis, lynch rose to the challenge of illustrating a story too beautiful for simple and juvenile style images and the results are stunning.
Together Wilson and Lynch have created a land of magical indulgence that welcomes children into a fabulous land of make-believe. This is a truly exceptional book and I think any household with this on its shelves will benefit from its richness and beauty.

Chelsea's Mohamed Salah may be forced to return to Egypt to serve Military Service [KingFut]
Well now this is something Chelsea probably weren't expecting when they signed Mohamed Salah from Basel last season.
KingFut report that the Chelsea winger may be forced to return to his Egyptian homeland to serve military service due to a ruling from Egypt's Minister for Education.
KingFut say that Salah's registration for an education program was rescinded, meaning that the Chelsea man may now have to return to Egypt to carry out military duty, with (short-term) conscription mandatory for Egyptian men in Salah's age group.
Salah is said to be in a state of shock at the news, seemingly unaware that he could be called upon as a professional footballer, and were this to materialize, he wouldn't be allowed to leave the country for the designated period of time.
Which would complicate his playing for Chelsea in England, it goes without saying.

The 200 forint denomination will be a coin
On 23 June 2008 the Monetary Council of the Magyar Nemzeti Bank decided to reissue the 200 forint coin in the first half of 2009. In this study, we shall summarise the social and technical aspects considered during the preparatory phase of the decision. The case is justified by the difference between the 'economy' of small denomination banknotes and large denomination coins. In the case of small denomination banknotes, expenditures are incurred continuously, since – due to their fast wear and tear – significant reproduction costs can be calculated. Wear and tear in the case of larger denomination coins is negligible, therefore expenses are primarily incurred from the one-off manufacturing of the initial stock, which are only supplemented by meeting the demand arising from eventual turnover expansion. Switching to coins – as a function of the year of switching over to the euro – can generate savings of 8%-13% of the cash production costs incurred until then. Since Hungarians use 200 forint banknotes as change, they are quickly damaged and the resulting high reproduction costs increase state budget expenditures, i.e. the taxpayers' burden. Coins – replacing the easily damaged small denomination banknotes – are more durable, their handling is safer and their use is more practical in numerous cash payment situations. Another consideration was to approximate the denomination series of the forint to that of the euro, thereby accustoming the population to the larger denomination coins and converting them into conscious users. Following transition to the euro, the purchasing power of the coins will be higher than in the forint period, thus the introduction of the 200 forint coin may be considered as preparation for the euro.

in this NYTimes article:
The author is pretty hard on Amsterdam officials and Museum Plein, on which it sits - especially excoriating the supermarket built next to it - a bogus charge IMO since the supermarket is underground - he just laments its above ground entrance - I think Amsterdam is right in making such things as supermarkets available to its residents and this was one of the few areas a large new one could be built in the city centre.
I think the writer suffers from a serious case of snob nose-in-the-air attitude I all too often find in art critics - missing the whole picture to give his witty take on things and how they should have been.
I also applaud Amsterdam officials for OKing such a monstrous to some addition to a world-famous museum.
Unlike Venice for example Amsterdam in recent years has shown it is a real city and modern protrusions that such boorish art critics may lampoon signify just that..
Vive Amsterdam!
Anyone have an opinion on the new Modern Art Museum (Stedelijk) addition?

Amsterdam's Stedelijk 'Bath Tub" Addition Panned...
in this NYTimes article:
Report Abuse
The addition has a certain "look-at-me aspect" that suggests a lack of concern for its surroundings; was the intent to exteriorize the Dada elements of the Stedelijk's collection?
Report Abuse
Can't access that article without logging in unfortunately. I won't bother with that since there are plenty of other news sources that don't require that the reader creates an account just to read an article.
But the new wing does look like a giant bathtub. Not sure whether I like it or not, but in any event, the Albert Heijn supermarket was there before the new wing was built. Also, there's that concrete grass covered slope between the museum and the supermarket which, like you say, is underground.
I've lived in Amsterdam for around 25 years now, but I can't say I'm particularly enamoured by modern Dutch architecture. Most of it is downright ugly IMHO. I just love the old city and its quaint houses some of which look like they're about to topple into the canal.

I had no trouble logging in by clicking on the link? Perplexed as I have no account? Curious.

It is really ugly, but it's what is in a museum that matters isn't it?
The simple fact the author calls it Museum Plaza says enough about him. Why not use it's correct name? I'm sure most new Yorkers can understand Museumplein.
As for the Van Gogh extension - it works, and works well. I don't give a fig about how it looks.
A city cannot become a massive museum, no matter how ugly the new architecture is considered now. Over 50 years it may be regarded as an icon.
Report Abuse
It is really ugly, but it's what is in a museum that matters isn't it?
But why have an ugly building, just so the architect can say "look at me!"?
Report Abuse
<<Over 50 years it may be regarded as an icon.>>
Agree. The Tour Eiffel was slated to be razed. The Pyramide du Louvre was considered an abomination. So were the sculptures in the Place des Vosges. Folks said the Centre Pompidou was not only hideous, but a fake (with regard to the pipes and all on the outside), and that it would never last. People decried the Vietnam Memorial here in DC. They're all pretty much considered welcome contributions to history and art now.
Which isn't to say artists and architects don't make gross mistakes, sometimes. Museum Plaza (and I agree - what's he trying to achieve by calling it that?) seems pretty grotesque to me, but Amsterdam has always been a rather edgy art city, at least since I've been going there, so it doesn't seem terribly out of place. By the same token, because A'dam has a long and varied history of art, if the guy and his work turn out to be nothing more than an ego trip, citizens and visitors will be sure to let him know over time.
Report Abuse
I've seen some of the new buildings in A'dam (we were there at the end of October) and like a lot of them that we saw out around the port. They were interesting and refreshing. Sorry I can't post photos of them. But this thing, IMO, is awful. There is such a thing as context, plus something called restraint, and I think both were violated in this instance. Plus, no matter where it would be, I think it is a terrible design.
Report Abuse
I totally agree, charnees, but I also think that my single opinion isn't particularly relevant when it comes to art and architecture anywhere. As I mentioned, the public will form some sort of consensus over time, and he'll either be ridiculed (as I believe he should be), or some level of acceptance will be achieved. Or the tub will be emptied and the faucets turned off.
Report Abuse
What is worse than the relative merit of the architecture is the fact that the Stedelijk has lost its stature as a top modern art museum. I think the article points that out too and I think it's a shame and a shambles, because the whole preposterous closure of the Stedelijk came about because political machinations. The entire re design of the Museumplein has failed from the grass not taking root to the skatepark being so dangerous that it can't be skated. Even the situation with the high way through it was better than this. And that the Stedelijk should have turned its back on Paulus Potterstraat is equally awful. I'm glad it's open again, but it's now a provincial "me too" museum instead of the modern art hotspot it once was.

China's installed wind capacity is the second largest in the World, and their growth rates continue to dwarf those of developed nations. Yet wind energy still makes up a very small portion of Chinese energy production because 1/3 of it isn't connected to the grid, and the other 2/3rds are heavily restricted. The problems hint at policy, management, and planning flaws. First, China's prime wind real estate is in the North, and its main energy demand is in the South. Second, although China's installed wind capacity grew by 113% over the last year, and now out ranks the US, 1/3 of this wind power cannot access the grid. Lastly, in Northeastern China alone, it is estimated that $5.4 billion USD worth of profits were lost last year due to installed wind capacity that was either not used or not grid-connected. So what's happening behind these numbers?
China is a huge country, and within it lays one of the world's richest wind energy hot spots. Inner Mongolia and Northern China house incredible wind resources, and very few people relative to the more populous south. As the Chinese population continues to grow and become increasingly industrialized, their energy demands have skyrocketed. One of the missing pieces of the renewables puzzle in terms of wind energy for China is connectivity. Transmission lines that transfer energy harvested from the wind-rich North to the energy-poor South are sparse and already functioning at full capacity.
Another major piece of the puzzle is wind energy management. In small local grids, like many located in the North of China, wind energy is a new and unpredictable source of energy. Operators are warned not to allow more than 10% of the grid capacity to come from wind power. Fears of the energy grids collapsing run rampant. Yet the new technology continues to be hooked up to small local stations that are not prepared nor educated in wind energy or mixed energy management. For example, Northern winters require the greatest amount of energy for heating and cooking. Yet, since wind is considered unstable relative to coal, it is severely restricted during the winter months. Ironic, since winter produces the best wind for harvesting of the year.
These two major issues, connectivity and management, both hinder China from reaching its desired renewables targets. They also point toward larger underlying issues concerning transmission line responsibility, authority over wind project approval, and Chinese energy policy. This series on Chinese Wind Energy will take a closer look at the wind energy issues specific to China, as it relates to climate change and models for wind-rich developing nations.

BOSTON -- Billy Wagner is on his way to the Boston Red Sox, leaving the New York Mets for the chance to pitch in a pennant race as a setup man for All-Star closer Jonathan Papelbon.
After a few days of back-and-forth talks about Wagner's future, the depleted Mets traded the left-handed reliever to the Red Sox on Tuesday for two players to be named.
The AL wild-card leaders had claimed Wagner on waivers, and the teams worked out a deal that persuaded Wagner to waive his no-trade clause. Wagner's main motivation, according to agent Bean Stringfellow, was his "overwhelming desire to pitch in a pennant race."
"He woke up and decided he wanted to join a team in the middle of a pennant race to have a chance to pitch in October and to have a chance to get a ring, which he's never done," Red Sox general manager Theo Epstein said. "There were some ups and downs and turns in the decision, but in the end he told us he woke up today and really wanted a chance to win a World Series, and came here for all the right reasons."
Mets' troubles continue
NEW YORK -- Johan Santana needs surgery for bone chips in his left elbow and the star pitcher is out for the season, the latest blow to a New York Mets team battered by injuries.
The team said their 30-year-old ace is expected to be OK for spring training next year. He was examined Tuesday by Mets medical director Dr. David Altchek in New York.
"It's not the worst," Santana said on a conference call. "Believe me, I'm going to be ready." -- The Associated Press
Santana said he had the same operation after the 2003 season, and came back with a career-high 20 wins and the first of his two Cy Young Awards for Minnesota.
"I know myself," he said. "I've been through this before. I know exactly what it is."
million option for next season, Stringfellow said in an e-mail to The Associated Press. The Red Sox can still offer salary arbitration to Wagner in the offseason, Stringfellow said, meaning they would be entitled to draft picks as compensation if he signs elsewhere.
The 38-year-old Wagner will join the team in Boston on Thursday.
Papelbon has 29 saves in 32 opportunities this season, with a 2.04 ERA and 58 strikeouts in 53 innings. He had been protective of his role and publicly lukewarm to the idea of Wagner joining the bullpen, but the 28-year-old righty called Wagner to make him feel welcome and said Tuesday he was not bothered by the acquisition.
"We're excited to have him and hopefully he can help us to win a championship," Papelbon said. "I've watched him through the years. The biggest thing is, he pitches with heart. I love guys like that. I love guys that go out there and wear their heart on their sleeves."
Red Sox reliever Manny Delcarmen, who might see some of his innings go to Wagner, was also supportive.
"Not many pitchers throw near 100 (mph) from the left side," Delcarmen said. "Hopefully he's healthy and I know he can help us. As long as he's healthy and can contribute, I think it's great."
The Red Sox entered the night seven games behind the New York Yankees in the AL East and 1 1/2 games up on the Texas Rangers in the wild-card race.
"I'm happy for him to get an opportunity with a team that seems headed to the postseason," Mets manager Jerry Manuel said. "He should do well."
Wagner ranks sixth all-time with 385 career saves, and wants to finish out his career as a closer. He's not likely to get that chance this year with Boston; then again, he hasn't gotten to pitch in the World Series, either.
"He wanted to be part of a pennant race," Mets general manager Omar Minaya said on a conference call. "We were able to get a couple of prospects for him. We felt it was the right thing to do."
Had Wagner rejected the deal, the Mets would have had to pay the nearly $3.5 million left on his contract.
Wagner has pitched two scoreless innings since recently returning from major surgery on his left elbow last September. He had lost his role as the Mets' closer after their offseason acquisition of Francisco Rodriguez.
Epstein said they would not use Wagner in back-to-back games.
"We're realistic," Epstein said. "He's less than a year from Tommy John surgery."
Wagner's contract includes a $1 million buyout for next year. If his option is declined, he can become a free agent in the offseason and sign with any team.
Wagner has said he would like to pass John Franco (424) for the most saves by a left-handed pitcher.
Following a quicker-than-expected return from surgery and rehab, Wagner returned to the injury-ravaged Mets on Thursday night and struck out two in a perfect inning against Atlanta, with his fastball reaching 96 mph.
Wagner struck out two more in a hitless eighth inning Monday against first-place Philadelphia.

I would translate the name "All" by "Tout" (I'm French) in the choice of categories in my portfolio, and the "top" by "Haut" in the Ruller with Top link… I have not found in the "default.po" (I guess this is in one place)
thank you in advance
FabienJuly 30, 2012 at 7:52 pm #85117
Hi Fabien,
To translate "All" you'll need to do is edit the template file directly. In your theme directory open loop-portfolio.php and replace this line
$output .= "".__('All','avia_framework')."";
with this:
$output .= "".__('Tout','avia_framework')."";
Now open sidebar.php and replace this line
echo "".__('Scroll to top', 'avia_framework')."";
with this:
echo "".__('Scroll to Haut', 'avia_framework')."";
MyaJuly 31, 2012 at 5:49 pm #85118
thank you Mya,
It works, thank you again, I want to highlight the speed of all the responses I received … great follow up!!
And I want to ask you another question … I think it will be the last
I use the "One Page Portfilio" with several Portfolios where the thumbnails that are themselves linked to pages, located in one portfolio page ….
These pages are in submenu of their portfolio … for now it suits me (because it is convenient for building the site …)
then I would disable these menu pages, they will only be selected by portfolios (it would therefore be seen that portfolios , the home page and contact) I am understandable?
I would also like selected pages are highlighted in the "portfolio parent" in the menu (since they will no longer be visible …) is it possible ?
thank you
FabienAugust 1, 2012 at 8:30 pm #85119
Hi Fabien,
Afraid, I'm not entirely following what you're trying to do as far as the sub-menus. My first thought is that you could setup the menu under Appearance > Menus but I'm not sure if that's the correct answer or not. So I'm going to tag the rest of the support team to see if they can be of assistance.
As far as the "portfolio parent" try adding this to your custom.css or Quick CSS.
.current-post-ancestor {
background-color: #444444;
MyaAugust 2, 2012 at 12:18 am #85120
Hello Mya,
I put the code in custom.css, I see no difference …
is this normal?
In the menu appearance, I think that too, however I have no competence in CSS, PHP … thank you for helping me :)
Au revoir…
FabienAugust 2, 2012 at 1:55 am #85121
Especially since my menu is growing day by day and may cause the display problem (when the menu is larger than the display window …)August 2, 2012 at 7:00 pm #85122
Hi Fabien,
Can you post a link to your website so I can see the menu live?
MyaAugust 2, 2012 at 7:10 pm #85123
URL removed by request.
Voilà :)
MyaAugust 3, 2012 at 1:27 am #85124
I want to help but I'm not quite sure what is the problem with the menus.
IsmaelAugust 3, 2012 at 4:31 am #85125
Hello Ismael
Thank you for your help, I want to keep only in the menu: / Home / the different portfolios-Graphics – illustrations – Websites / and Contact… but not to make visible the submenu : "Atelier du Parc" "Les Zenimaux" "Croquis"…
all links (submenu) are also present in the portfolios … because I want this type of navigation:
In the Menu: Choice of class, "Porfolio – Graphisme" >> in the Portfolio: Choosing the customer with the thumbnail "L'Atelier du parc" >> Which brings us to the desired location in the "One Page Portfolio"
For two reasons the menu will be much more understandable and to avoid the display problem, When the menu is larger Than the display window … This is important because I have to add more customers.
I did some testing by removing or failing to give name to the element "page section" in the "Setting One Page Portfolio" the submenu disappears, but of course the link in the portfolio does not work anymore …
Thanks! :)
FabienAugust 5, 2012 at 6:00 am #85126
Here a visual for the menu "portfolio site internet mailing."
URL removed by request
and for the selected item (the "portfolio site internet mailing" still highlighted)
URL removed by request
Best regards,
MyaAugust 5, 2012 at 7:50 am #85127
You can hide the sub menu items with following css code – add it to css/custom.css:
#top .main_menu .sub-menu-item {
display: none;
PeterAugust 5, 2012 at 6:20 pm #85128
Super! Dude :)
I would like just a small thing…
Here for example I select the menu "Portfolio-illustration" tab is highlighted.
URL removed by request
Then in the "Portfolio-illustration" I select "Croquis & Mise en couleur" and the tab in the menu is not highlighted anymore, which is annoying.
URL removed by request
I wish that the tab in the menu remains highlighted, until we resélectionnera another ..
thank you
FabienAugust 5, 2012 at 8:44 pm #85129
…until we select another ^^..
I'm sorry for my bad english :)August 6, 2012 at 6:34 am #85130
The menu does not support this feature at the moment – you can try following js code though. I've coded it without testing and I'm not sure if it works properly but it's worth a try – add it to the bottom of js/avia.js:
jQuery(document).ready(function() {
setInterval( function() {
}, 500);
});August 6, 2012 at 8:42 am #85131
Hello dude,
I tested, but apparently it does not work …
thank you for helping me :)
FabienAugust 7, 2012 at 7:10 am #85132
Do you get any error messages? Can you add the code snippet to js/avia.js – I'll debug the code with Firebug.
PeterAugust 7, 2012 at 7:46 am #85133
Hi the Dude…
I handed the file, I had no errors, but seeing that it did not work I decided to have a code "clean" and handed the original file … firebug is great! I found that yesterday, but I do not know anything about CSS PHP …
thank you again to you
fabienAugust 8, 2012 at 9:42 pm #85134
Hi Fabien,
You'll need to actually add into the page and keep it there so that Peter can take a look at it. Otherwise, I'm not sure if we can offer a fix to highlight the sub menu items.
DevinAugust 8, 2012 at 11:50 pm #85135
Hello Devin,
I put the code at the end of avia.js when I got the message from Peter …it is not visible?
URL removed by request
I put it back in case …
FabienAugust 14, 2012 at 1:21 am #85136
is it good there, or I have not done what you ask ?
FabienAugust 14, 2012 at 5:37 am #85137
I just noticed that the script won't work at all because it only takes care of the menu/submenu relationship. It doesn't highlight menu items based on the one page portfolio section. I'll mark this thread for Kriesi.August 14, 2012 at 2:18 pm #85138
thank you
I still have a small question :)
As the site is more time to load, is there a possibility to load in priority the Logo and the images on the page "Home" (first visible elements)?
FabienAugust 15, 2012 at 3:20 am #85139
Hi Fabien,
As far as I know, there's no way to do what you suggested. You may want to look into using a plugin like Total Cache 3, Super Cache, etc. to help optimize the website's load times though.
MyaAugust 15, 2012 at 10:39 pm #85140
ok, thank you

The couple have been married for 30 years but Patrisha McLean's lawyer says legal papers filed in Maine cite "irreconcilable differences".
McLean was arrested in January on charges including domestic violence assault. He has pleaded not guilty.
He has been prohibited from having contact with his wife.
A statement from Patrisha McLean's attorney, Gene Libby, said she has gained "strength and insight away from his influence and control".
McLean's divorce lawyer, Michael Asen, said his client denies the characterisations made by his wife's lawyer.
He also said McLean "cares very deeply about his wife and family" and that "this wasn't what he wanted".

A man accused of helping British newlywed Shrien Dewani to orchestrate the murder of his bride on their honeymoon in Cape Town claimed he did not receive any payment for his role in her death, a court has heard.
The man, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was allegedly offered 5,000 rand (about £380) to act as a "middleman" in the plot to kill Anni Dewani in an apparent carjacking.
Xolile Mngeni is standing trial accused of killing the 28-year-old. He denies murder, kidnapping, robbery and illegal possession of a firearm.
Mngeni's lawyer Matthews Dayimani said taxi driver Zola Tongo, who has already been convicted for his role in Mrs Dewani's murder, would testify that the unnamed man was offered cash for his services to hire a hitman.
But the man, who appeared as a witness at Western Cape High Court, said Tongo was "lying" and claimed he did not receive any payment for his part in the alleged plot.
He said: "I did not get any money from all of this. There was no such promise. It's blood money."
Mrs Dewani was shot dead after the car she was travelling in was hijacked in the impoverished Gugulethu township in November 2010. Her husband Shrien, who the authorities want to extradite to South Africa, was ejected from the vehicle and Mrs Dewani's body was found later.
So far, two men have admitted their roles in Mrs Dewani's murder and claimed her husband orchestrated the killing.
Mziwamadoda Qwabe was jailed for 25 years and Tongo was jailed for 18 years after saying Dewani offered him 15,000 rand (about £1,200) to arrange the killing and make it look like a carjacking.
Dewani, a care home owner, is due at Westminster Magistrates' Court on September 18 when an update will be provided on his medical condition. He is currently in the care of medics after being diagnosed with depression and post-traumatic stress disorder.

KYLY Clarke, the first lady of Australian cricket, has posted a video online which reveals what could be her next career "venture".
The wife of Australian skipper Michael Clarke posted the video on Instagram, where she shows fans how she keeps her slim figure by doing 50 squats "with or without a weight".
At 32, Mrs Clarke is a Rebel Sport ambassador, and she regularly talks about health and wellbeing in public.
Recently, she was also the cover girl for Australian Women's Health magazine.
So it's no surprise that when a friend commented on the video - that it prompted Mrs Clarke to tell her not to "tell everyone my idea".
karensippel_11 commented: "That's great Kyly! You should bring out an App with little vids like that one."
The famous WAG replied: "Hey don't tell everyone my idea!!!
"You know it!!! It all takes time but I cannot wait to share my new venture, that and more!!!!...... Thanks Karen, at least I know I'll have your support!!"

I absolutely love Gettysburg! Every time I go home for breaks I can't wait to be back on campus. First of all the campus is so beautiful and the downtown area is fun to explore. The academics and professors are top notch. The small class sizes really make a difference in your learning experience. The professors encourage you to attend their office hours and they are very approachable. Furthermore the students work together and help one another (its not like those super competitive atmospheres where everyone is only looking out for themselves). There is a huge variety of extracurricular activities students can get involved with too. In terms of the social scene greek life is a huge component. However being non-greek has not made my experience in Gettysburg any less enjoyable.
Gettysburg is a beautiful campus. The academics are rigorous but not unmanageable. You will find some people who are very competitive and others who are more relaxed about grades. The professors are all dedicated to their students and willing to go the extra mile. Diversity on campus is ok, we have socioeconomic and racial diversity but less international diversity. We have a great gym and intramural/club sports program. We're division 3 so our collegiate sports programs are only okay (not a lot of fans watch the games). Depending on what dorm you live in, it can either be really nice or subpar. For freshmen the best dorms are Huber and Hanson. There's a great party scene thanks to the fraternities. However, if you don't participate you can still have fun. The local area is cute and we get lots of tourists but overall there's not much on offer. Campus food is better than most places but it gets repetitive. There's lots of fun clubs on campus and things to do, never a dull moment!
As a person who was formerly heavily involved with music and drama in high school but decided to pursue a science major here, I have found the number of condescending people in the music department to be quite absurd. Since I became a part of choir here I've noticed that for a school that encourages students to be "well rounded", there is definitely a mentality shared amongst people here where if you are not 100% passionate about something then you are almost looked down upon for trying to pursue it. For example, I entered choir here with previously no experience in sight reading. I felt that others constantly made me feel as if I was inferior as a person, not just a musician, because I did not enjoy singing classical music and simply was pursuing music as a hobby. Social scene is all Greek and it seems the only other option you have is to "explore" Gettysburg which really takes about one weekend to do, or study 24/7.

The producers test is evidence? ha. Right. How many times have I had to push a dealership to fix a car under warranty that they first balk at? Many. Please.
Because the evidence provided by the OP is clear.
1. The ammo he used has mixed headstamps in the box leading on to believe it is not factory ammo.
2. If the ammo was factory (it is most likely not) with the approximate age th OP provided that ammo was known to cause catastrophic failure in certain guns.
3. Because S&W is not a sleazy car dealership and the have a proven track record of quality customer service and really have more to loose than gain by falsely not honoring their warranty. I believe their lab results to be true and the OP should be able to request a copy.

Dark Souls II will focus on time and eras as key elements, the game will not take place in Lordran, the story will once again follow a cursed warrior, and the transition for Dark Souls players to the new game may be "awkward." That is about all the team has to say about the sequel to the hit game at this time, but there's also a good chance it may not be released this year.
Fans of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls have a lot of questions about the upcoming sequel, and it's clear from a recent interview that the development team is remaining relatively tight-lipped on the details. Dark Souls II was announced late last year at the VGAs and since then From Software has carefully released tidbits to keep eager fans anxious about potential changes.
In a recent interview with Edge, co-director Tomohiro Shibuya tried to give some more details on the new direction of Dark Souls II. "The concept of time and the existence of time is something that will be key to Dark Souls II," he said. While he said he didn't want to spoil the surprise for players, he did use the word "eras" instead of time, leading us to believe it could be a similar focus as was the case in the Prepare to Die Edition which sees players travel to a different era.
Dark Souls II is a direct sequel to Dark souls yet it will not take place in Lordran. Shibuya explained that the name of the world "will be key to the story," so it's likely rich in lore. "We will reveal it eventually, but not in the first announcement. If Lordran was to be an area in the world called, say, Earth, the setting of this game will be somewhere completely different." It sounds like the "visual concept" will keep the world together, but it's a bit unclear on the game's actual setting.
Some fans were drawn back when they learned Dark Souls director Hidetake Miyazaki wouldn't be directly involved in Dark Souls II's direction. Some may have worried about the dreaded A word--accessibility. But Shibuya used a different A word to describe the potential transition for Dark Souls players into Dark Souls II players.
"Ideally we want Dark Souls players to smoothly get into Dark Souls II," he told Edge. "But at the same time I am implementing a lot of different aspects as well. So there might be a sense of awkwardness at the [beginning] when experienced Dark Souls players pick up Dark Souls II."
He went on to say that Dark Souls II will have the same general feel and he doesn't intend to change the controls.
In regards to accessibility, Shibuya said he personally felt the covenant system in Dark Souls was hard to experience, but he plans to bring it back in Dark Souls II. This time, covenants will be more accessible to players, he said.
"And that's not just with the covenant system, but with a lot of other aspects that I felt were difficult to fully adapt to," he said. Dark Souls basic concept will remain intact, but the game's hidden story elements may be a bit more clearly presented. He admits he's more direct instead of subtle, "so I think that part of me will [result in] a difference [for] players when they pick up Dark Souls II. It will be more straightforward and more understandable."
Dark souls II has a much bigger development team than Dark Souls. For example, the world creation team has doubled. The game is only about 25 percent done and the game is now likely not due out in 2013.
New Dark Souls II details surface: accessibility, release timeframe, and direction
Dark Souls II will focus on time and eras as key elements, the game will not take place in Lordran, the story will once again follow a cursed warrior, and the transition for Dark Souls players to the new game may be "awkward." That is about all the team has to say about the sequel to the hit game at this time, but there's also a good chance it may not be released this year.

Franklin Armory's got a unique new product on their hands. Thanks to a close reading of firearms law, they've made an AR "firearm" that is neither a pistol nor a rifle because of its exact lengths and two-handed design. And each one comes with a letter from the ATF giving it their blessing.
The XO-26b is somewhere between a high-end stock AR-15 and entry-level custom AR-15 in terms of features. It's got Magpul furniture, an A2 flash hider, an A4 flattop rail and matching railed gas block, (sights not included) a barrel with a 1:7 twist for big bullets, and it's chambered in 5.56 NATO. Franklin Armory's toyed around with other chamberings and while we think that .450 Bushmaster's a little extreme, we do like the idea of this in 7.62x39mm. The MSRP isn't terrible at $1150.
Really, the thing that makes it stand out isn't its furniture, it's how expertly it threads the legal needle.
There are three things that make it neither pistol nor rifle nor any other weapon (AOW). First, it has a forward pistol grip. This means that it is not intended to be fired single-handedly (FPS Russia notwithstanding). The reason it's not a short-barreled rifle (SBR) is that overall, the firearm's length is still over 26 inches with its buffer tube extension and and not concealable by ATF standards. They liken it to the Thompson Model 1927-A5 which also has a short barrel. But the barrel slides in at 11.5 inches, which brings it in under the AOW standard of having a 12-inch or longer barrel with an overall length of less than 26 inches.
Franklin Armory is playing it safe with their padded buffer tube, but a cursory read of the law indicates that it should be legal to put a real stock on it provided it doesn't shorten the length of the firearm to under 26 inches:
"TITLE 18, PART I, CHAPTER 44, § 921, Definition (8) The term 'short-barreled rifle' means a rifle having one or more barrels less than sixteen inches in length and any weapon made from a rifle (whether by alteration, modification, or otherwise) if such weapon, as modified, has an overall length of less than twenty-six inches."
But we're not lawyers so would anyone like to confirm or deny this for us? From the horse's mouth, Franklin Armory: you put a buttstock on it, it's an SBR. That's what the ATF says it is, and that's what it becomes. There is a silver lining. You can buy this "firearm" before you apply for a tax stamp to convert it from a handgun to a short-barreled rifle, that way you can have your gun and shoot it, too.
And question number two: knowing this, would you build a "firearm" of your own with a sub-12″ barrel, forward pistol grip, and overall length of over 26″, or would you just get a Franklin Armory gun for the ATF letter?

I hope the 49ers doesn't release BJ at the end of the season; I wouldn't be surprised if he wasn't. I feel like BJ hasn't got a real opportunity as a receiver on this team. Before he got hurt in training camp BJ was having a good camp. I would like to see what he can do in a real game before we get rid of him. With Arnaz Battle and Isaac Bruce no longer on this team next year, I hope Brandon Jones is still around next year.

I too would like to see what he can do when healthy. In the return game, at least he has not muffed it like Battle had. Crabtree, Morgan, J. Hill, B. Jones + Davis and Walker...I believe that we have the makings right here.

Jones will prob compete with Hill for the #3 spot during the offseason, I doubt we cut him, unless it was a cap friendly deal that would allow him to be released with out too much dead money hangin around,

Kendrick Lamar is currently riding the wave of his epic, instant classic of a debut, good kid, m.A.A.d city.
Hip-hop taste-makers have praised the concept album for its in-depth storytelling and for being such a breath of fresh air to a genre where lyricism has been put on the back burner at times.
Rap Genius: The top 5 rap lyrics of the week — Kendrick Lamar makes 'good'
Prior to his debut, one of his biggest supporter was one of pop's biggest stars, Lady Gaga, who gushed over Lamar's potential and even hinted a possible collaboration in the works.
Unfortunately a Gaga/Lamar track didn't make the album but Gaga did released a video of her version of "B*tch Dant Kill My Vibe", where she lent her vocals to the hook.
Check out the song let us know what you think in the comments below.

The Veterans Health Administration (VHA) has been named one of America's best places to work for employees over the age of 50. VHA ranked 25th out of the top 50 employers selected this year by the American Association of Retired Persons (AARP).
VHA was awarded an AARP "Best Employers for Workers Over 50" award at the Society for Human Resource Management Conference in Chicago on June 17, 2013.
The award recognizes employers who "have set outstanding examples through programs that help them retain, retrain, engage and recruit the older workers who will be increasingly crucial to their success."
Dr. Malcolm Cox, VHA's Chief Academic Affiliations Officer, attended the award ceremony on behalf of the Veterans Health Administration.
The Veterans Health Administration is America's largest integrated health care system
Half of VHA Employees are Over 50
Currently, 50 percent of VHA employees overall, and 23 percent of new hires, are over the age of 50. They include physicians, nurse practitioners, dentists, radiologists, psychologists, more than 53,000 independent licensed health care practitioners, and thousands of support staff who are directly involved in the health care of American's Veterans.
The Veterans Health Administration is America's largest integrated health care system with over 1,700 sites of care, serving 8.3 million Veterans each year.
With a medical care appropriation of more than $47 billion, VHA employs more than 239,000 staff at hospitals, clinics, nursing homes, domiciliaries, and Readjustment Counseling Centers.
In addition, VHA is the nation's largest provider of graduate medical education and a major contributor to medical research.
VHA's mission is to honor America's Veterans by providing exceptional health care that improves their health and well-being.

The Big Four of Canadian curling is heading back to the Brier.
Manitobas Jeff Stoughton will be re-joining Albertas 2010 Olympic gold medallist Kevin Martin, Ontarios former world champion Glenn Howard and Newfoundlands 2006 Olympic gold medallist Brad Gushue in London, Ont., March 5-13.
Those four were also at the 2006, 2007 and 2009 Briers. Martin missed last years only because he was competing at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Its really tough to win, Howard told QMI Agency. All the usual guys are going to be there and were going to take another run at it.
Martin defeated reigning world and Brier champion Kevin Koe 7-4 in the Alberta final Sunday.
Stoughton, however, has suffered the longest drought among the four as far as winning a major championship is concerned as he won Manitobas last Canadian crown way back in 1999.
Gushue has yet to win a Brier but does boast Olympic gold.
Weve beaten Martin, weve beaten Howard and, all these guys that are coming to the Brier this year, were pretty sure we can handle, Stoughton said after becoming the first skip to win three straight Manitoba titles Sunday.
We would love to finally get that Brier back in Winnipeg, and we think were going to give it a good shot.
Stoughton failed to qualify for the playoffs at last years Brier, and lost the 2009 final to Martin with a different foursome.
This team really is ready to win a Brier, said veteran Manitoba lead Steve Gould. We are getting a little long in the tooth, some of us, and I dont know how much longer were going to end up playing anyway, so we might as well do it now, right?
Martin, however, will return to the Brier riding a 26-game winning streak, with his last win being over Stoughton in the 2009 final.
Howard beat Gushue in the 2007 final and lost to Martin in the 08 final.
Saskatchewans Pat Simmons, Nova Scotias Shawn Adams and B.C.s Jim Cotter could also make some noise in London.
If we find our best game, we can play with anybody thats going to be there (at the Brier), said Manitoba third Jon Mead.
Both Mead and Gould won the 99 Brier with Stoughton.

ATLANTA - Metro Atlanta's 30 Boys & Girls Clubs are facing program cutbacks because of a tighter budget.
The 30 clubs serve 17,000 children. William Lampley, the president of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Atlanta, says staff hours have been cut by 12 percent, focusing on positions that don't serve children. The clubs are reducing the number of programs they offer.
The clubs are cutting more than $2 million from their $17.7 million budget because of the loss of income from endowment and declining donations. The biggest loss is from the United Way of Metro Atlanta, which depends on pledges from area workers.

29 Tasting Notes
A nice cup for cold weather and the Christmas holidays. I was hoping the orange flavor would linger on the tongue a bit more. Nice black tea base, which seems to be the rule with SpecialTeas. A little sugar seems to enhance the flavors a bit, but isn't absolutely necessary. Not my favorite cup, but I wouldn't pour it out of the pot for something else. Worth trying.
A good cup! Very reminiscent of fresh baked almond cookies. I prepared mine with a splash of milk and a dash of sugar, which is standard operating procedure with most black teas at my house, and I think it enhanced my cuppa. If you like tea and you also like almond cookies you'll probably find from in your tea cabinet for this one.
This is a pretty good tea. The cardamon and the cocoa complement each other well. This tea is a bit like chai, but less complex. It's not a "light" cup, but rather a tea for cold weather and a slice of cake or rich pastry. It seemed a bit rich for an everyday cup, but for a special occasion or as an indulgence it would be quite nice. The only other gripe might be that the black tea base for this was just a teensy bit bitter, but that may be corrected with a shorter steep time. I only had a single cup because that was all the tea I had to work with, but I plan on buying more and possibly updating this review. If you like cocoa or chai, this might be a good tea for you.
A friend of mine brought me a box of Chombe Tea when he took a trip to Malawi to visit some missionary groups. I was skeptical of it right off the bat. It was in bags, not loose leaf. The bags didn't look particularly well made. On the box it said "export grade", which made me think tourist trap. It looked like a typical CTC black tea dust that might have been found in any grocery store in the world. Then I made a cup. Wow! Not bad! In fact, for a bag tea, it actually had a nice bright color, a delightful earthy/nutty taste, and it took milk and sugar really well. One of the best bag teas I've drank. I've since learned that Malawi has been growing tea for over 100 years from plants imported from China, so they've had a lot of time to develop their product.
This is a nice tea, but it took a couple of cups to reach that opinion. Why? I'm not sure, but it may have been the water. The first time was at home using non filtered water from the tap. This has never given me a problem before, but the tea wasn't as flavorful as the smell from the container would lead you to believe. The next cup was made with filtered water. Wow! What a difference. Much, much more flavorful and tasted just like coconut cream pie. Hats off to 52teas. If you like tea and coconut cream pie, this match up is hard to beat. If you normally take milk in your black teas, don't use it here. I tried a cup that way thinking it might accent the creamy flavor, but it really masked it instead. Looking forward to another cup or two of this one.
Ok, let me preface this by saying this is my rating for a bag tea. It's not fair to compare bag teas with loose leaf. The bag will loose 99.9% of the time. Having said that, the Twining teas have been very consistent and make a good cup. This English Breakfast is essentially my yardstick for all other English Breakfast bag teas. It produces a nice color, has a nice touch of malty-ness, and, for me, has just the right amount of caffeine. It takes milk and sugar well, but does fine without, too. You can find it in most chain grocery stores. Again, it will never compete with premium loose leaf, but it's head and shoulders above the majority of the bag options.
This is my FAVORITE Rooibos blend. Normally, I find most rooibos brews to have a slightly rough edge to them. With the addition of the floral flavors it's transformed into sunshine in a cup. It's cheery, refreshing, and satisfying; almost like a fruit blend. It also doesn't seem as finicky to prepare. At least to me, a lot of blends have a narrow window of time for that "perfect" cup. Too long and things get bitter. Too short and something hasn't had enough time to develop to full taste. This has a wide margin for error. If you have to answer the phone and forget about it for a few extra minutes you probably haven't done any harm. If you like floral, fruity blends this one is worth trying.
I buy this tea every year, for, you guessed it, Christmas. Over the past four years, the consistency has been a bit uneven. Two years ago, it was the best it's ever been. Nice hints of orange and vanilla while the cloves and cardamon provided a nice touch to the back end. This year, it just hasn't had the same punch and the black tea, the base of this blend, doesn't seem as good as before, either. When it's good, it's a good cup. When it's not at it's best it's drinkable, but not memorable.
Maybe if you blend it with cinnamon tea and/or other spices, it might help? I'm a nut for Christmas teas, but I'm also super-picky… I usually take others' blends and make them "better…" which is my word for "mine." ;)
That's a good suggestion, KTT. I might play around with it a bit. The components of this blend are quite nice, but for some reason it doesn't live up to its potential. If I rated it when it was at its best, it would have been high 80s, maybe very low 90s. Again, my suspicion is the tea itself, not so much the blend ingredients, but I'm not a chemist so I must say it is just my guess.

My 1982 CJ5 and introduction to the JeepForum family
Hey guys... I know there are a billion posts like this, but I think it is time for me to join the club and I want to introduce myself.
So here I go... Post #1:
In 2002, I was incredibly fortunate when my Grandfather gave me a perfectly good 1995 Toyota Camry XLE. I was pumped!! My dad and I were looking at it in the driveway when he said to me "You know, my first car was an old Bronco... but my favorite car was my 1973 CJ-5." After doing some research and flipping through a JC Whitney catalog, I was hooked. That weekend, much to my mothers chagrin, the Camry (with working heat/AC, leather seats, great fuel economy, airbags, and doors) was in the classifieds and dad and I were looking at jeeps. We must have looked at 15, mostly wranglers and a few trashed 7's. I then fell in love with my CJ5. It was completely stock with about 53,000 on the odometer. Its Olympic White paint and purring 258 was all it took for me to be hooked. There were a few bad rust spots but overall it was in great shape.
Years of being at the beach and some playing took its toll on the CJ. I took my crack at some bodywork and then I paid to have the interior and exterior line-x'ed (I know a lot of you are gasping at the thought, but I really liked it and I still do. If anyone wants some of my first hand opinions on bed-liner exterior, I'd be glad to give you my thoughts). Due to my shoddy rust removal and lack of bodywork experience, I had to remove the line-x eight years later and what I found was pretty bad. I removed the tub and have come to the conclusion that I need to replace it.
Im in the process of looking for one now and well that is where I am now.
I have the body separated from the frame, very few tools, next to no mechanical experience, short on money, and absolute resolve to see this 5 brought into really great shape. I want to preserve the CJ look but make some really wise upgrades.
So...My name is Steve, and here is a photo album of my 1982 CJ-5:
There is a wealth of knowledge in this forum and I am excited to learn from you guys. I have learned more in the last few months from reading this forum than over the years of being a CJ owner. Please feel free to offer advice. If there is anything I can ever do for you guys, just let me know!
How have I owned a CJ for 10+ years and not been on this forum???

Nutrition in 60 Seconds
We eat real food – fresh, natural food like meat, vegetables and fruit. We choose foods that are nutrient-dense, with lots of naturally occurring vitamins and minerals over foods that have more calories but less nutrition. And food quality is important. We're careful about where our meat, seafood and eggs come from and buy organic local produce as often as possible.
This is not a "diet." We work to build a healthy relationship with food to fuel our training and enjoyment of our lives. We eat as much as we need to maintain strength, energy, activity levels and a healthy body weight. We aim for well-balanced nutrition, so we eat a variety of animal products and a significant amount of plants - but if you're vegetarian or prefer to stick to fish, we can work with that too. We're not lacking carbohydrates; but we seek the most nutrient dense sources to ensure we have plenty of energy to work hard in the gym. And we're not scared of fat! It's a healthy source of energy when it comes from high-quality foods like avocado, coconut and grass-fed beef.
We eat to maintain a healthy metabolism and reduce inflammation within the body, aiming for a healthy body composition, energy levels, sleep quality, mental attitude and quality of life. We use good nutrition coupled with exercise you'll actually LOVE to minimize your risk for a whole host of lifestyle diseases and conditions, like diabetes, heart attack, stroke and autoimmune disease. So many "workout programs" or "diet programs" focus too heavily on one facet of getting healthy and leave you with an unbalanced approach. Our role is coaches is to help you identify your individual challenges to making healthy choices, then overcome them. Combining workouts at FUELhouse with a nutrient-dense diet will give you the balance you have been looking for. Don't wait to get started on your path to optimal health. We want to help you get started today!
