The Melting Pot - University City
Online Reservations
My wife and I have come to this locations for years. The service is good and we love the ambience. The menu has changed which Im happy to see but the sizes of the items have gotten smaller for the same price. Overall we recommend this location to everyone. Love the Melting Pot
It was our first time and was a great surprise, we were worried about leaving hungry but rather left completely satisfied, our server randy was great and the food matched the atmosphere
If you're looking for a unique experience the Melting Pot is the place to go. You don't just get one meal you get many. Go with an empty stomach because you'll leave wanting to put on your sweat pants! Great food and great service:)
We went for dessert which was a perfect for our budget. We had the Bananas Foster Fondue Pot and it was absolutely delicious! My grandmother had two Sunshine Sangrias which were smooth, fruity, and reasonable priced. We would go there again.
I came to the Melting Pot in University City for the first time a few weeks ago to celebrate my birthday, and I was beyond impressed. This is the perfect place for a romantic dinner or a special event. Since we were there for both, I think we definitely picked the right place. The ambiance is sensual and romantic, with low lighting and soft music playing overhead. The staff was attentive and accomodating, and the owner even stopped by to pay us a visit in a manner that felt genuine, rather than forced, so that was a plus. They have a fantastic wine list and a stocked bar, and their bartenders are very knowledgable. The food experience is second to none! Delicious cheese and chocolate fondue, and a main course that will definitely satisfy.
Everything about this dining experience was memorable. The atmosphere, food and Service were top notch. Our server, Battina was very nice and accommodating. The owner stopping by our table was a pleasant surprise. The food was exceptional and the drinks we ordered were mixed to perfection. I would highly recommend spending your special night out at The Melting Pot. Oh, and no, I am not an employee. LOL
A very unique dining experience... The 4-course dinner (best value in my opinion) was very filling and the cheese fondue was particularly delicious! We had a great time, our waiter was awesome, and the entire staff was very helpful and friendly. A must-do a least once in your life!
Went there with my girlfriend as an anniversary date--excellent food and quite an experience. The waiter who served us did a fantastic job of keeping the courses coming, letting us know all the options, and being overall a very friendly guy--the owner even came out to say hi! They sat us in a booth that was surrounded by walls on 3 sides, so the setting seemed very intimate, tho the restaurant seemed to also provide more open seating for bigger parties. Only warning I would give is price and time--I ended up paying around $115 (which included tip) and we ate for ~3 hr, but considering we had 4 excellent courses, I'd say it was worth it. I think there are options not to do the full 4 course combo if you want something quicker and cheaper
The Melting Pot is definitely a good dinning experience for a special occasion. It is not you typical "out-to-eat" place as it is very pricey for the small portions you recieve. You're paying for the atmosphere and the experience, not the quantity and even quality of food. The food is good, don't get me wrong; however, I'm more of the "bar-food" type person. Overall, good experience and a good place for a special occasion; if you can look past the price per what you can get anywhere else.
This restaurant is the perfect date spot. Food was wonderful, service was spot on, and the ambiance was relatively quiet and fun.
Eating at the melting pot is an event. I have gone there for ladies night, anniversaries, any special occasion. It is a little pricey, but if you've got the money and a couple of hours, I recommend the melting pit for any special occasion!
The service we had was excellent, and the environment was fun. it set a fun mood for me and my wife to relax and have fun while having a nice dinner. I will say i was a bit dissapointed in the "main course" with flavor for the price but everything else was 5 stars. I would highely reccomend to anybody who wants a nice night out with a differenc change of scenery at a restaurant. The owner and manager both greated us and seemed to really care about the customer. We will deffinately attend again inthe future.
A Great location for a rendezvous with dear friends with a plethora of variety. A cascade of flavors and textures to explore await you in a quiet atmosphere. This is a great contrast to the lively street party that happens down the rest of the Loop.
I recently visited the Melting Pot for my two year anniversary with my girlfriend. I thought I would surprise her by taking her here. I made a reservation online and I did the romantic dinner special. The service was amazing and they tended to our every needs. The food was very good as well. It was a nice private dinner with great service. I would recommend this to anyone who wants to have a good time and have great good as well. I would come back in a heart beat.
excellent wait staff and management, bar is nice could use more help,
I took my husband for his first Melting Pot experience and we both did the 4 course meal. He loved this as much as I expected him to and he surprised me with a rose. I signed up online ahead of time and was able to book a resevation via computer and received 6 chocolate covered strawberries free. A glorious dining experience~
If you are trying to do a romantic night out or a special date this is the place you want to go! I got the romantic package and I couldn't ask for a better time! Service was amazing and the food is to die for!
Took 2.5 hours. Waiter kept disappearing for 35 minutes at a time. Nabager made excuses and dud not validate complaint. Service sucked!
I took my son for his birthday and was very pleased with the dinner and service. It was an amazing dinner experience...can't wait to go again...the dessert ensemble Flaming Turtle was fabulous.
Absolutely loved this ding experience,always wanted to go,but Husband was always kind of like,eh... But when we went awesome,loved the Steak Lovers,and the Flaming Turtle dessert,TO DIE FOR,LOVED IT!!!
Wonderful atmosphere for a date. We enjoy the Petite Feast. There wine list is quite adequate. Be sure to sign up for your birthday and anniversary so that you get complimentary strawberries to take home.
Great California salad. Assorted cheese. Steak and seafood. Then chocolate to die for. Excellent service. Unique experience in St. Louis.
great evening for dinner for the two of us along with a child. Staff was extremely friendly and made us feel welcome. Great experience. we will be back
My wife and I enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely return and this will be our top pick for romantic date nights in the future. The staff was very attentive and gave great suggestions for wine and dinner. Btw... Carrie rocks!
My wife and I have two kids under 6 and don't get out much. When we do get a night away, we like to relax. The Melting Pot is one of our favorite places to go. A place where the food is excellent and keeps coming. It's quiet and intimate. A place we go for special celebrations and relaxing island moments in the crazy ocean of our lives. We'll be back again...
Long wait for a table, but the experience was really good. It's just a fun night out. The service, once seated, was very good. The four course dinner is really a pretty good deal, and there are a lot of selections.
I have heard nothing but great things about Melting Pot, so we decided to go there for our 28th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed the visit and the the food was delicious. I did think the prices were a bit high.
Went to Melting Pot for the first time for my Mom's birthday this week. The staff made it a great time! The waiter was very good about explaining the process and answering questions about the food. The waiter added a candle to cheesecake on the plate for the Chocolate fondue. Staff doesn't do the crazy singing for birthdays which made my Mom very happy. We would definitely go back!
The food was good, service was good, atmosphere and experience was really good, but I just don't think I'm a fan of Boiled meats. House salad and dressing is WONDERFUL.
Service was top notch. I would request our waitress Christine again. We had an excellent evening as we always do at the U City location.
My daughter heard about this restuarant from some friends. What a unique dining experience! The wait staff was especially helpful recommending menu items, proper cookings times, and keeping our beverages fresh. The menu is pricey so it's not something we would do on a regular basis (OK, maybe the dessert part...) but it is ideal for those special birthdays, graduations, promotions, family occations, etc. Since most dishes are served '1 per table,' picky eaters may limit your options but there is something in every catagory (appetizer, cooking sauce, dessert) that will appeal to even the pickiest eater. The ambience of the resturant is very nice, up-scale - business casual is low end of dress scale. We had a great time!
I have been to lots of Melting Pots around the country. The food is always consistent. Our waitress, Wendy in the St. Louis location, was very friendly and took great care of our party of four.
My husband and I had a great time on our special date night. The restuarant wasn't too quiet or too loud and we were seated at the just right time for us to get a drink at the bar and take it to our table.
The food was awesome. We had a great time. Great place for a special occasion.
The Melting Pot is a great place for a romantic night out or a special occasion. If you are going to do a three or four course meal, be prepared to spend about 2 hours. The new menu setup introduced in the past year really gives you nice flexibility in customizing your experience. Plus, you can easily swap or add on entree items for just a few bucks. The staff is friendly (sometimes a bit too talkative) and I think the manager or owner has personally stopped by the table on every visit to ensure the experience has been good. Definitely worth a splurge once in a while!
Took a friend for their birthday, had an absolutely wonderful time. Service was excellent as well as the dinner. Most romantic place to eat in town.
I have not been to Melting Pot in several years. They have redecorated!! smaller more intimate tables; The climate controlled wine cellar is beautiful; Attentive knowledge articulate servers; menu quantities are the right amount!! We enjoyed ourselves.
Have been there before; enjoyed it very much. The food was delicious, our server Brian was very knowledgeable, friendly & proficient. The owner & manager both checked on our evening, which we thought impressive. I highly recommend for a romantic evening for 2 or for couples enjoying dinner together.
Took my 10 year old daughters for their first Fondue experience. From the host staff to our excellent waitress Wendy, we had a great time. The host suggested we wait in the bar where they made the girls a special daquari. After being seated our waitress made great suggestions to guide our selection that the girls enjoyed. The owner made a guest appearance to check on us, the girls thought that was neat and the good was amazing. Great mommy daughters night. Thanks Melting Pot!
We are frequent guests of this amazing restaurant. Our waitress Wendy was THE BEST WE HAVE EVER HAD! She was amazing in every way!!! We will request her for all future visits!!!
It was my wife and I's 10 year anniversary and I've never felt such a warm feeling from the staff at any establishment. Was truly an awesome experience.
Each week my wife and I go out for a date night on Thursday instead of the weekend due to the occupation I have. There was no special occasion that brought us to The Melting Pot but Brian our server did an excellent job of helping the night feel special. A very courteous greeting and easy going responses welcomed us. Explanation was given for our options since this was our first time here. We chose to have the four course experience and we were not disappointed. The food was great and the California salad was delicious. The time flew by and before we knew it we had been there for over two hours. Anytime you can visit a restaurant and not feel rushed or that service has forgotten you is a plus. Thank you for a great night.
If you are looking for a romantic, long, quiet dinner, this is the place. Booths section you off into your own little world, rose petals adorn the table, champagne toasts... it's all there.
It was our first time there. My husband and I were celebrating our birthdays and we brought our two daugherts along. The waitress explained the menu quite well and was very knowledgeable. She gave us tips and was very patient. Our daughters 13 and 17 thought it was a unique experience. Everyone left happy and full. My husband and I also receive a complimentary glass of champaign. The owner came around and asked how everything was going. Great service. Woudl definely go back. Great for a romantic date too.
This was my first visit everything was amazing Will be returning soon Thank you
My two friends and I had a great time celebrating a birthday and we really enjoyed the experience. Despite the price (which is a little high), we had great food, good wine, and ended up eating way too much. Our waiter seemed friendly and we were checked on by both the general manager and the owner which was nice. My only complaint was that we had enjoyed our dinner which takes a while to do the 4 courses and were talking when the owner basically told us we were holding up a reservation and basically asked us to leave. I admit we were done but seemed a little weird that after spending a good deal of money, we were rushed out. We just decided that we would let it go and continue to enjoy our evening. Overall a great time.
the ultimiate romance package had my wife in tears great place...
Our dinner at the Melting Pot was the perfect as start for a wonderful evening. The service was professional and ambiance was perfect. You feel like you are having an intimate dining experience since the booths are nestled in. The food was DELICIOUS but price is a bit high so this was a great special occassion meal. Highly recommend the dark chocolate caramel and sea salt fondue-to die for.
We totally ejoyed the melting pot at university city. It truly was an experience. Our server Lexi was awesome. She even recommended a really nice place to have lunch the next day before heading back to our hometown. If we are ever back in the St. Louis area we will definately be at the melting pot enjoying the food, atmosphere, and a great time.
Melting pot in u-city has sentimental value to us and is reason we came back for our anniversary this past Sat nite... Our food was amazing!!! Server Brian was amazing and very knowledgeable !!! We told him we didn't like onions and he made sure we didn't have any on any item which was awesome!!! ;) I know we will be back and absolutely love the melting pot!!! ;)

Based in Swindon, UK, Mongoose Publishing was founded in 2001 and within 6 months became the UK's largest publisher of roleplaying games. Initially concentrating on d20 based products, Mongoose Publishing's first book was the Slayers Guide to Hobgoblins, part of the Slayers Guide series of books. Subsequent product lines followed in rapid succession with the release of the Encyclopaedia Arcane, Travellers Tales, Quintessential and Cities of Fantasy series of books.
Mongoose has earned a reputation for producing quality licensed products to sit alongside their generic fantasy ranges and their first licensed book, the Judge Dredd roleplaying game, proved to be an instant hit. Further licensed products followed with roleplaying games based on Slaine, Babylon 5, Conan, Lone Wolf, Macho Women with Guns, Paranoia and Runequest. Mongoose's newest licenced roleplaying game, Traveller, brings back the classic science fiction roleplaying game.
In 2004 Mongoose Publishing launched it's first miniatures game, Mighty Armies, and this was quickly followed by the Origins award-winning Babylon 5 spaceship combat game, A Call to Arms. Mongoose's first foray into plastic miniature games came in late 2004 with the innovative Gangs of Mega City One, a skirmish game based on the world of Judge Dredd. In the spring of 2005 Mongoose Publishing released the Starship Troopers miniatures game, a mass battle game in 28mm scale pitting humanity against a host of enemies in a battle for the species. Supported with a range of metal and plastic miniature releases, a year after its launch Starship Troopers had already won the Origins 'Best New Game' award and was supported by over 50 different releases. Our current miniatures games include Judge Dredd and A Call to Arms: Star Fleet.
Mongoose Publishing's miniatures games and roleplaying games continue to provide gamers with fantastic worlds in which to immerse themselves, and the company has become a recognised force in the world of hobby games.
The most politically incorrect, chancy and thoroughly tongue in cheek roleplaying game comes to PDF! Macho Women With Guns Diet Edition strips away the excess flab and leaves you lean, mean and...well, we can't actually say that.

Some parents love pranking their kids and getting a good laugh as their children cry about their loss of Halloween candy or whine about the bad Christmas gifts they've been jokingly given. But some think this mom who led her son to believe he had purchased a $50,000 car on eBay went too far.
In a YouTube video posted December 30, the mom wrote, "My 8 year old almost bought [a] $50K Mustang on eBay, I decided to tease him a little."
The video starts with the son laying forlornly on an ottoman as his mother Paula Papen says "Did you buy that $50,000 Mustang on eBay?" He swears he didn't, but she says he did and the deal is done. Then the crying begins.

Misery Index
Heirs To Thievery
Holy shit. My scars have only just healed from 2008's murderously seething Traitors, and here are Baltimore's veteran grinders with yet another vitriol-filled, anti-government sonic IDE that will leave shrapnel in your ears as the band attacks America's alleged "hidden history" and shows that they are arguably one of grindcore's top bands.
Culling the same slightly death metal backbone that the band's Dying Fetus bloodlines demand, Misery Index's take on grindcore is still rooted in the classic crusty, punk-driven influences plied by the greats like Napalm Death, Terrorizer and such, but with some real American attitude and beef dumped into the mix. Misery Index has managed to take their sound to new levels by adding a little control to their violent assault.
By adding some restraint to the formula that made Traitors a grindcore bitchslap, Misery Index has upped their game exponentially. But don't worry, the restraint isn't anything that lessens the impact of Misery Index's sound – it's very subtle with a slow song here and there, a brief groove or rumble to cement and enforce Jason Netherton's vehemently intelligent diatribes. Let's call it "maturity."
After the likes of throat-ripping opener "Embracing Extinction," which might be one of the most intense tracks the band has penned, the first signs of maturity arise for the almost 4-minute "Fed to the Wolves," where the closing moments deliver a melodic solo and an almost somber rumble, then the almost 5-minute controlled lurch of "The Seventh Cavalry," as well as the surprisingly catchy "The Spectator." Otherwise the album is what you'd expect, from the likes of the punishingly militant title track, skin-peeling "You Lose," lumbering "The Carrion Call" and "The Illuminaught," which both reek of classic Dying Fetus. And even with various levels of restraint, the album still tangibly seethes with anger and the sheer piss n' vinegar that, while inherent to grindcore, are palpable here. And it's aided by the band choosing to record, engineer and mix this album themselves in their hometown Wrightway Studio rather than the Zuess production of Traitors. It sounds a little more natural.
If you are lucky enough to score the Japanese edition, be sure to stick around for the hidden recording at the end of punky closer "Day of the Dead". It involves Blake Harrison from Pig Destroyer, some beers and some shit-talking about Misery Index in the studio.

The Danze oil rubbed bronze doesn't look as dark as I'd like it to be. I want something that looks almost black. Can you tell me the "true" color? It looks like a Venician bronze on my screen.
Product Reviews
Transitional Tank Lever Handle for Front Mount Tanks
Looked exactly like the photo on website
I was thrilled with the color of this item as I was matching it with a number of other bronze tone hardware in the bathroom. Matches great. Your photos on website are very accurate. Also, I assume it was easy to install because I did not hear any swearing from the bathroom when my fiancee was working on it.

The handle is a wonderful compliment to the other bathroom fixtures I purchased. Elegant style and a great price. Great quality and nice brushed chrome finish.

Local Councils have adopted a collaborative regional approach to the new legislation and have appointed five Animal Welfare Officers to enforce animal welfare in respect of non-farmed animals. The Officers will have statutory enforcement powers and can take a range of action to improve the welfare of non-farmed including, providing advice, issuing an improvement notice, taking animals in to their possession, and initiating prosecution action. The five officers cover the whole of Northern Ireland working on a regional basis. If you need to report an animal welfare issue in the Fermanagh area during office hours Monday to Friday 9am-5pm you should contact 028 8225 6226. After 5pm Monday to Friday, at weekends and over holiday periods contact the out of hours number, 078 2499 4490. Welfare complaints in respect of farmed animals (that is animals bred or kept for the production of food, wool or skin or other farming purposes) should be referred to the Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. During office hours Monday to Friday 9am-5pm telephone 0300 200 7840. At weekends contact a local Private Veterinary Practice or PSNI who will, as necessary, refer the welfare complaint to the relevant "on call" officer. Welfare complaints in respect of wild animals or animal fighting should be referred to the local Police Station. Details of the enforcement roles and contact points can be accessed on the link below: www.dardni.gov.uk/welfareofanimalsenforcementroles.

I have thinning hair and have in the past bought several Paula Young wigs. I have been pleased with all of them. This current Wendy wig purchase is a great disappointment -- in quality especially. It reminds me of my hair -- thin and lack of body. My hairdresser agrees with my comments. Since I removed the tag and couldn't return it, I have given it to charity.

Comments about WhisperLite® Wendy Wig by Paula Young:
I love the Wendy wig so much. Comfort, style, fit is all excellent. It is my favorite. I thought Vikki was my favorite, so I have 5 Vikki wigs. Now I wish I had more Wendy wigs. I cannot believe the price for such quality. And they make me feel pretty. Thank you Paula Young.
My favorite style
By Carol T.
from Atlanta, GA
I have bought this style before and received so many compliments on "my hair" so it is a good wig for me. It is so easy to style and wear. Paula Young wigs are great! I have been pleased with all the styles that I have bought through the years.

Love the Wendy wig. It is light weight, airy and the style is superior. Just about do anything with it using your fingers to style.

I have worn this wig for several years. Most people don't realize I have a wig on. I have it professionally styled and it always looks very natural. If you check your records, you will find that I have been ordering from you for 30 years!

I am a 66 year old African-American with age-related hair loss. This style wig is perfect for me. I have purchased a supply of them. I do have them trimmed by my stylist before I wear them. They wear well, clean well and look very natural. The wig fiber is very natural looking- not stringy or waxy. I highly recommend this particular style especially if you have a pixie face and small features like mine.

I'm sure this question has cropped up on Patrick.net from time to time, but a cursory search through the archives just now shed little light on the subject for me. I've done some research both locally and online, but wanted to tap the veritable brain trust here on Patrick.net for some input/advice/abuse, etc.
I never thought I would consider building, and only decided to look into this option after two years of picking over the fancifully priced inventory here in central Austin (thanks, California!). Housing stock here consists of either former grad student flops, 2/1 granny shacks with tottering carports or overgrown, hyper-average 70's suburban SFHs in either as-is condition or with that cheap Ikea neo-modern Madmen treatment I can't stand. Flipping is also red hot here, so I'm competing with that crowd as well, which makes buying a lot and building (either now or in a year or two) more attractive. What's more, most of these homes are outfitted in various ways that are totally superfluous to any of my basic needs, so I'd be paying a premium for fixtures I'd only end up ripping out. I need a rectilinear box with space for my tools and my collections. I don't even want a dishwasher. I work from home, so I require a place that is conducive to the workspace/live space dynamic, but without the fabulousness of LOFT style living.
I recently found a half acre lot for sale, centrally located at a not-insane and very-nearly-decent price, along with a builder with excellent references and decent prices ($70-100 sq ft). For the price of the lot and the ballpark figure the builder furnished me with, a finished home (minus permits/soil tests/land clearing/grading) would come in well under, or, worst case, right AT what a comparative existing structure in the same area would cost me to buy. The only snag is that it's a sloping lot and whatever I might choose to build there would be hanging off a bluff.
Anyway, I would especially appreciate commentary from anyone who's built a place in the last five - seven years; what sorts of stumbling blocks did you encounter? Anything from the loan process to dealing with a contractor who goes over budget to the travails of clearing a scraggly, sloping lot.

Since January, 2013, new ongoing armed clashes in the North of Mali have further damaged an already worrying humanitarian situation. Mali has been experiencing a complex crisis with armed conflict in the northern regions for a year which has been compounded by a food and nutritional crisis due to the lack of rain. Over 400 000 people have been displaced, of which over 200 000 are internally displaced and over 145 000 took refuge in neighbouring countries. Due to the fluidity of the situation, in January 2013 WHO developed a contingency plan for the health sector, in coordination with the Ministry of Health and partners which calls for urgent funds in the amount of US$ 12 million to cover priority activities for the next six months.
Health Cluster partners require US$ 29 million to address the health needs of the population affected by the crisis in Mali in 2013, of which US$ 12 million are urgently needed for priority activities in the next six months
Presentation of the situation in Mali by Dr. Michel Yao, Senior Health Adviser, Department of Emergency Risk Management and Humanitarian Response.

Napalm Death
Time Waits For No Slave
It's neither a secret nor an uncommon opinion that Napalm Death has been on the upswing in the new millennium, starting with the blistering Enemy Of The Music Business back in 2001 and not really slowing down since. The Code Is Red saw a revitalized Napalm in full swing, and Smear Campaign was strong but still paled somewhat against its raging predecessor. That latter disc also featured a few (perhaps unwanted) surprises in the unexpected martial / symphonic intro and the presence of guest vocals by Anneke van Giersbergen (formerly of The Gathering). Whatever your opinion on Smear's stylistic twists, it doesn't matter now because they're gone from Time Waits For No Slave. Napalm Death is back to doing what Napalm Death is best at doing--kicking your damn ass.
I hear quite a few records, as you can imagine. Maybe one in ten makes me completely stop and stare at my stereo, but within just the first few tracks, Slave had me dialed in, had my attention focused, had a grin on my face and my head and hands and feet moving. There's a fury on hand for this one, a venom and a fire, that equals the best moments in Napalm's storied history, and that's saying something, considering that this is one of the most pissed-off bands of all time. There's an anger here, even though often the tempo is scaled back from previous efforts. Even in the mid-tempo moments, there's a palpable energy that rivals even that of Enemy or Enslavement, those two differing releases that represent this group's finest hours to these ears. Barney Greenway bellows his vocals with a white-knuckle rage above and beyond even his normal ferocity, and Mitch Harris' high-pitched screeches fit perfectly against Greenway's roar. There are a few instances of clean processed vocals that are reminiscent of past tracks like "Breed To Breathe" from Inside The Torn Apart, but mostly, Greenway shouts like a man possessed. As is expected from a modern Napalm Death release, the riffing alternates between grind and death, with some prominent divergences into a more traditional hardcore approach (see the intro to "Life And Limb" or sections of "On The Brink Of Extinction."). Some riffs are groovy, some frenetic, and some almost melodic; some are Swans-y, dissonant and raw, and yet, no matter what, all of them are positively destructive. Those fans clamoring for a return to pure-and-simple grind won't be satisfied, but hopefully the increased intensity will compensate for the lack of thirty-second songs and the continued incorporation of the band's varied influences.
Where Slave succeeds fully is in the songwriting. These tunes are simply the best that Napalm has written in many a moon. The title track, with its tremolo-picked riff that drops into a droning Swans section, is a personal favorite, alongside lead track "Strongarm" and the grooving "Life And Limb." Aside from a renewed vigor and focus, there's little in the way of surprises, and I'm okay with that. The dissonant noise bits have been making increasing inroads into the songwriting over the last few records, so even those off-kilter drones aren't unexpected, although they seem to fit better into the framework of these songs than on past efforts.
All in all, Time Waits For No Slave is a monster, through and through, another entry into one of metal's most esteemed catalogs and another success from a long-running band approaching the three-decade mark atop a wave of rejuvenation. Slave is vicious and violent, supercharged and superb, unflinching and undeniable. Napalm Death rarely disappoints, but only in a few select instances have they equaled this one. One of the top releases of 2009, hands down, and a good candidate for the top slot on my year-end list.
In fact, it's so good that I'm tempted to reach up there and switch that one little score a half-point higher, but even as good as Slave is, it's not perfect. It's Napalm doing Napalm's thing and killing all the way, and while that's good enough for me, I recognize that it's not a vast departure from the the band's tried-and-true formula, just an improvement upon the established norm. So with that in mind, I'll let that stay a 5.5, and end it here.

"The Seattle Police Department will continue to enforce laws against unlicensed sale or production of marijuana, and regulations against driving under the influence of marijuana, which remains illegal," the book says.
Growing marijuana at home and selling it to friends or family remains against the law, the guide says. But, it adds, "In the future, under state law, you may be able to get a license to grow or sell marijuana."
Smoking pot in public, like having an open beer, "could result in a civil infraction -- like a ticket -- but not arrest," it says.
In fact, Seattle police officers have been advised not to take any enforcement action other than to issue a verbal warning, if the new law is violated.
"You can certainly use marijuana in the privacy of your own home," the guide says. "Additionally, if smoking a cigarette isn't allowed where you are (say, inside an apartment building or flammable chemical factory), smoking marijuana isn't allowed there either."
What if an officer suspects a motorist is under the influence of pot?
"If an officer believes you're driving under the influence of anything, they will conduct a field sobriety test and may consult with a drug recognition expert," it says. "If officers establish probable cause, they will bring you to a precinct and ask your permission to draw your blood for testing. If officers have reason to believe you're under the influence of something, they can get a warrant for a blood draw from a judge. If you're in a serious accident, then a blood draw will be mandatory."
No longer will the smell of marijuana emanating from a vehicle lead to a search unless the officer has "information that you're trafficking, producing or delivering marijuana in violation of state law," it says.
Seattle does not hire police officers who have used marijuana in the previous three years, but the department is consulting its lawyers "to see if and how that standard may be revised."
Pot use and possession by anyone under age 21 is still a violation of state law. "It may be referred to prosecutors, just like if you were a minor in possession of alcohol," the police guide says.
The ban by universities and colleges on smoking pot on campus is not expected to change.

Hawaii State Bird on Comeback
The Nene is the state bird of Hawaii. At one point, there were fewer than 30 birds in the wild. Now over 2,000 birds grace the islands, but Hawaiian park rangers tell Charles Annenberg Weingarten, founder of explore.org, that there is still a long way to go.

Thank you so much Kay for this great Sig!!
Lizbud, I wanted the flowers to dominate the darkness and grief in the background, as a symbol that life goes on... Do you think they are too bright?
Here's another mystery creation of today, another style, didn't turn out too well. I called that one Eternal Flame.
OOOOOOOOOH the eternal flame one is GORGEOUS. I love them all.
the flowers in the first one really do get your point across. Beautiful job on all of them.

There is an ongoing threat of kidnapping in many parts of the world. The Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) is aware of a number of kidnapping cases involving Australians, such as:
- kidnapping for ransom;
- kidnapping with political elements and demands; and
- kidnapping by pirates.
Countries where the threat of kidnapping is particularly prevalent, and where DFAT's travel advisories specifically warn of the threat of kidnapping, include: Afghanistan, Algeria, Bangladesh, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Colombia, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Egypt, Eritrea, Ethiopia, India, Iraq, Kenya, Libya, Malaysia, Mali, Mauritania, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, the Philippines, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia, Yemen and the Indian Ocean, especially near the coast of Somalia.
For these countries, you should carefully read the destination-specific advice.
The instability that led to the international intervention in Mali has increased the risk of kidnapping throughout North and West Africa. Malian-based militants and others located in Nigeria and Niger have carried out a number of kidnappings over the past 12 months, including in neighbouring countries such as Cameroon. Further kidnappings are likely in the North and West Africa region.
The conflict in Syria has resulted in the kidnapping of a significant number of foreign nationals, including media, humanitarian workers and other foreigners remaining in the country.
If you do decide to travel to those areas of these countries where there is a particular threat of kidnapping or to remote areas where we strongly advise you not to travel, you should ensure you have personal security measures in place, seek professional security advice and take out kidnapping insurance. Any road travel should be undertaken in daylight, in convoy and with a local guide. Kidnappings can also occur at sea and pirates have kidnapped people from commercial vessels and pleasure craft (such as yachts). You should maintain a high level of vigilance at all times and watch for any suspicious or unusual activity.
The Australian Government's Role
The Australian Government's ability to provide consular assistance to Australian citizens may be severely limited in locations where we recommend against all travel and in places where the security situation is particularly dangerous or access is limited.
The Government will work closely with the government of the country in which the kidnapping has taken place, as well as with colleagues from other governments, to ensure that all appropriate action to resolve the situation is pursued actively. We will provide information to families on what they can expect and provide them with clear and up-to-date information on developments in the case to help them make informed decisions.
The Australian Government's longstanding policy is that it does not make payments or concessions to kidnappers. The Australian Government considers that paying a ransom increases the risk of further kidnappings, including of other Australians. If you do decide to travel to an area where there is a particular threat of kidnapping, you should ensure you have personal security measures in place, seek professional security advice and take out kidnapping insurance.
Kidnapping cases differ in the motivations of the kidnappers, the demands being made for the release of the hostages, and the circumstances where the kidnapping has occurred. Terrorist and criminal groups both use kidnapping as a tactic to achieve their goals.
Terrorist groups often target foreigners. In some instances, terrorists have killed their kidnap victims when their demands were not met. Foreign employees, particularly those in the oil and mining sectors, aid and humanitarian workers, journalists, tourists and expatriates are regularly targeted.
Terrorists may use local merchants such as tour and transport operators to identify foreign visitors for potential kidnap operations. Hostages may be taken by their captors into a neighbouring country. Humanitarian workers and tourists in Kenya have been kidnapped by militants and held in Somalia.
Pirates have kidnapped hundreds of people, usually holding them for ransom. Pirates have attacked all forms of shipping, including commercial vessels, pleasure craft (such as yachts) and luxury cruise liners. For more information you should read the Travelling by boat page.
In South America, terrorist groups are known to kidnap for ransom. Colombia has one of the highest rates of kidnappings in the world, often perpetrated by groups such as the FARC and the National Liberation Army (ELN) in rural areas. Foreigners, including children, have been kidnapped and murdered.
Cultural festivals are also attractive places for terrorists and criminals to identify and target tourists for kidnapping. These festivals bring people to predictable locations along unsecured routes.
Criminal groups often kidnap tourists who are forced to withdraw money from ATMs. This is known as "express kidnapping". It is common in countries in Central and South America, especially Mexico and Colombia, but does occur in other countries. In some cases victims have been killed or injured while attempting to resist the kidnappers. The use of ATMs located inside banks, hotels and shopping centres during daylight hours may reduce the risk. Some criminals pose as unlicensed taxi drivers. Once the victim is in the cab they are kidnapped until they agree to withdraw money.
Another trend is "virtual kidnapping". This is when extortionists, posing as law enforcement officials, call the family or friends of the victim and demand payment in return for release of the allegedly arrested family member or friend. You should avoid divulging financial, business or personal information to strangers.
Recent kidnapping incidents include:
- On 15 November 2013, two Taiwanese tourists were attacked in their hotel on an island off the coast of eastern Sabah, Malaysia. One tourist was murdered and another was kidnapped.

Android hardware
From XBMC
(Redirected from Android Hardware)
Devices | Android | Android hardware |
This is a list of Android SoC's (System on a Chip, which is the CPU, GPU, VPU, etc. Also known as "chipsets") that will use hardware video decoding with XBMC. For most HD videos, hardware video decoding is necessary for smooth video playback. While some devices might be able to do SD and even some 720 content using software video decoding, hardware video decoding is considered essential for most Android devices.
1 Basic requirements
Main page: Supported hardware
- XBMC for Android is still in development. As such, this is subject to major changes. A conservative estimate would be:
- A NEON compatible ARM processor (for example: Tegra 1/2 probably won't be supported. Tegra 3 is okay.)
- Android 4.0 or newer (might work on older versions such as 2.3, but this is a conservative estimate after all)
- Hardware decoding support in XBMC is likely a must for HD video playback (720+). Don't expect this to work on any device until someone has specifically tested it and can confirm hardware decoding support for that device. For more details on hardware video decoding support, see Android hardware.
- Avoid hardware that uses the Allwinner series of chips (such as the Allwinner A10). Development is not going well for these devices.
- The main aim for the initial port is set-top-boxes/sticks. Expect tablet/phone/touch/etc support to improve with time.
2 How do I know what chipset I have?
Some places that are good for looking up the chipset/SoC (System on a chip):
- http://gsmarena.com - Phones
- Wikipedia:Comparison of Android devices
- http://www.androidcentral.com/devices
3 Chipsets
- AMLogic - yes, in a specific AML-enabled build for v12, or XBMC 13-alpha4 or higher when built with AMLcodec enabled (this is not default).
- Rockchip - yes, but some devices might need an updated firmware for smooth 1080 playback. [1]
- Tegra 3/4 - yes
- Allwinner A10, A13, A20 - no
- Allwinner A31 - yes
- Snapdragon - yes
- Freescale - ?
- Samsung/Exynos - yes
- Mediatek - no
- Hisilicon - no? (needs verification, but so far it doesn't look good)
- Marvell Armada - ?

"[T]he Necessary and Proper Clause grants Congress broad authority to enact federal legislation. Nearly 200 years ago, this Court stated that the Federal '[G]overnment is acknowledged by all to be one of the enumerated powers,' McCulloch, which means that '[e]very law enacted by Congress must be based on one or more of' those powers, United States v. Morrison (2000). But, at the same time, 'a government, entrusted with such' powers 'must also be entrusted with ample means for their execution.' McCulloch. Accordingly, the Necessary and Proper Clause makes clear that the Constitution's grants of specific legislative authority are accompanied by broad power to enact laws that are 'convenient, or useful' or 'conducive' to the authority's 'beneficial exercise.' Id….Chief Justice Marshall emphasized that the word 'necessary' does not mean 'absolutely necessary.' Id….In language that has come to define the scope of the Necessary and Proper Clause, he wrote: 'Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution, are constitutional.' McCulloch. We have since made clear that, in determining whether the Necessary and Proper Clause grants Congress the legislative authority to enact a particular federal statute, we look to see whether the statute constitutes a means that is rationally related to the implementation of a constitutionally enumerated power. Sabri v. United States (2004)." J. Breyer, United States v. Comstock, 130 S.Ct. 1949, 1956 (2010).
McCulloch v. Maryland (1819)
The Supreme Court case that defined the scope of the federal legislative power and the federal government's relationship with state government authority.
The United States Congress incorporated a federal Bank of the United States through a legislative act. The State of Maryland imposed a tax on any bank operating within the state that did not possess a state charter. The state obtained a judgment against McCulloch, the cashier of the Baltimore branch of the Second Bank of the United States, for issuing bank notes without paying the required tax. The Supreme Court reversed, holding for McCulloch.
In an opinion by Chief Justice John Marshall, the Supreme Court held that first, Congress had the authority to create the Bank of the United States. Second, the Bank of the United States had the right to establish branches within the states, and the states did not have the power to tax or otherwise interfere with any constitutional means by which the federal government exercised its authority. Although the Constitution did not specifically enumerate the authority of Congress to establish a federal bank, Congress nonetheless had the implied power to do so. Because the government had the powers of the sword and the purse, it must have ample means to execute those powers. The Necessary and Proper Clause of the Constitution (Article I, § 8) enabled Congress to pass all laws to effectively pursue its specified ends: "Let the end be legitimate, let it be within the scope of the Constitution, and all means which are appropriate, which are plainly adapted to that end, which are not prohibited, but consist with the letter and spirit of the constitution…." Thus, Congress had wide discretion to make policy decisions so long as those decisions were plainly adapted to a constitutionally authorized end, and the Court would defer to Congress in these cases.

Aranibar, J.N.; Anderson, I.C.; Ringrose, S.; Macko, S.A. (Elsvier, www.elsevier.com, NaN, 2003)[more][less]
Abstract: Cyanobacterial soil crusts may be important in arid and semi-arid ecosystems because of their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen (N2). These crusts are very sensitive to trampling by animals, and their destruction can decrease ecosystem N inputs, affecting the productivity of the region. The objective of this study was to quantify the nitrogen-fixing activity in soil crusts during the wet season in southern African ecosystems using in situ acetylene reduction assays. The average acetylene reduction rates for each site ranged from 88 to 535 nmol m-2 h-1, were highly variable, and were lower than previously reported for other arid areas. All soil samples showed acetylene reduction activity; however, soils with crusts supported higher rates than did "non-crusty" soils under litter, moss, or sand. High values of 15N natural abundance (delta15N) indicated that processes other than N fixation were more important in the crusts than N fixation. For example, coupled and ammonia volatilization or atmospheric deposition of 15N-enriched nitrate or ammonium may have caused shifts in delta15N within the soil crusts. The estimated annual N fixation rates ranged from 8 to 44 g N ha-1 year-1, orders of magnitude lower than values estimated in other studies. The anomalous wet conditions experienced during the year of the study may have increased the temporal availability of soil mineral N and decreased N fixation rates. However, the presence of N fixation activity in all crusts analysed and their ability to survive at high temperature and after long dry periods may provide ecosystem resilience, facilitating ecosystem recovery after severe droughts.
