Part Two: All in the name of Tyr
The five Gundam pilots had been lost in a world of Dungeons and Dragons, goblins and ghouls with one especially nasty Lich for the past twenty four hours and the horizon was beginning to darken again outside as the battle-cry of an overzealous Paladin of Tyr ripped the silence of the new dusk.
Wufei valiantly rolled his attack dice. Who knew the staunch Chinese would get so into a game like this but Wufei was enjoying himself immensely. True the game ended up basically revolving around his character but beyond that he was fighting- figuratively at least- for Justice! All in the name of TYR (God of Justice- who'd 'uv thunk it)
The simple adventuring party had been drug through a series of standard level building mini missions to get the hang of the game and had subsequently traveled every inch of the sword coast in the process. Heero was the navigator, having read Volo's Guide to the Sword Coast cover to cover by the time Duo was finished with his character. They had marveled at the majesty of the Cloakwoods and seen the streets of Waterdeep on Dige's flickering screen. The digital graphics really added something to the game as they could see every room and alleyway they entered as if they were looking at their cockpit's view screen. Now they found themselves looking down a long dark tunnel deep below the ruined castle above in search of the evil undead sorcerer that was wreaking havoc on their lands and had burned a temple of Tyr to the ground, declaring outright War on the order.
Wufei's Paladin, Nataku, was on a quest for revenge and he, accompanied by his companions; the cold and detached warrior from Icewind Dale called only Odin, the darkly charming quick to smile 'bounty hunter' Shinigami in the black robes, the pleasant and helpful although blasphemous cleric/mage of Mericuil- the elf with hair of gold and silver, Raberba de' Sandrock and the expressionless half-elf ranger by the name of Nanashi. They had come a long
way and were now trapped between walls of stone and seas of goblins. Nataku shouted a prayer to Tyr and plunged in headlong to the green mass of stinking, soon to be dead evil.
Sharp and efficient katanas tore into the growling green as a large claymore slammed down on the horde whilst the mage whispered spells in the background and the ranger's longbow sent arrows whirring into the fray. The thief was, of course, no where in sight. Battle ragged in the dark tunnel underground, a loud crash heralded the strong magic as fiery light gathered around the blonde caster. Arching out over the fighters a deadly spray of flame washed over the goblin army sending half it's numbers retreating into the dark or falling scorched to their deaths. As they turned to run three unlucky goblins met the sweeping blade of the smiling Death behind them. Shinigami turned to make his presence, or at least his scythe, felt by the other mongrels running from the battle. The party quickly finished off the last of the goblins and pressed on deeper into the labyrinthine halls.
"Come on, Nataku, you didn't even give me a chance to search the bodies. One of those filthy warts could have something valuable on 'em." Shinigami protested at their hasty withdraw from the battle scene.
"Just like a thief to think of something like that, have you no respect for the dead?" Nataku snapped.
"Not goblin dead, and for the last time it's Bounty Hunter!" Shinigami rose his voice to the troublesome Paladin. Bright cobalt eyes turned on the two of them and with a sharp hiss Odin silenced them both nodding to the little blonde elf beside him.
"I hear something." Raberba whispered turning his long delicately pointed ears to one side then the other. With naturally better elvin hearing, the others waited to see what Raberba would hear a the half-elf strained in the other direction to catch a sound as well.
"I don't hear anything." Shinigami whispered to the others growing impatient with the silly elves' precaution.
"Shh." Odin pushed the thief back and looked about straining through the dark.
"There, Nanashi, did you hear it?" Raberba glanced to the taller boy. The half-elf nodded and came up beside the golden haired youth.
"What is it?" Shinigami questioned never one to enjoy being left out. The elves put their ears to the slick cold stone of the right wall and listened.
"There's something on the other side." Nanashi concluded.
"Is it Tregard?" Nataku pried. The evil necromancer turned Lich had eluded him for many months and he was not about to let him get away again.
"I'm not sure." came the reply from both.
"Let me see." Raberba breathed, chanting some faint phrase of magic. Minutes passed as the elf's eyes glazed and his expression became distant. His eyes looked about as if searching for something but saw nothing there then they focused and he jolted up blinking away the haze he frowned and nodded slowly.
"It's a large room, books and a table. It was dark but I saw... the Lich." he breathed and fell into Nanashi for support, the spell took a lot out of him.
"What was he doing!?" Nataku demanded.
"He was, preparing for, something. Preparing some strong magic."
"Good, then we may still have time." Nataku grinned wickedly at the thought of revenge.
"There were stairs, they led up and at the top of them light shone down faintly, he could still get away easily by the time we find our way yo it." Raberba warned.
"Not if I have anything to do with it." Nataku growled and held out a small dark brown stone. "And you said this wouldn't come in handy." he smiled to the black clad boy beside him gripping his scythe indignantly. With a few whispered words the old artifact sprang to life and did the bidding of it's wielder cracking the thick stone of the corridor wall and giving the party entry into the startled Lich's haven.
It was a long and bloody fight the lich making good use of his spells until the elf mage silenced the room sacrificing his own talent to the greater good. In the end it was a swift blow from the Paladin's Holy Sword that took the evil undead down. They stayed there the night licking their wounds and waiting till dawn to venture into the deep enchanted marsh above.
Shinigami wasted no time in stripping the Lich's lab of all objects of considerable value. Books, staves, wands, papers, jars, gems, and gold especially all fond their way into his accepting bag of holding [1] with the miscellaneous jewelry he fond strewn about. One ring in particular caught his interest. A simple ring of fine silver inlaid with a line of onyx and carved on the inside in some strange script he couldn't read.
"What's that say, Raberba?" he showed the elf the ring who shrugged then stopped short and took it from the questioning thief. "Hey!" Shinigami began but Raberba hushed his protest with the wave of a slender hand as he inspected it more closely.
"What is it?" Shinigami pressed.
"It's a ring of wishes." the elf finally replied after a murmured spell and quick inspection.
"Really!?" Shinigami chirped, "Give it back."
"Oh no you don't. There's no way I'm going to let you have a dangerous item like that, don't you know wishes come at a price." Nataku intercepted the ring and placed it gingerly into his own pouch.
"So why should we trust you with it? You'd probably waste it on some ridiculous favor to your god or just give it to the church." Shinigami laughed easily procuring the pouch and slipping out the ring onto his own finger.
"You blasphemous Thief!"
"Why I aughtta'!"
"Wufei, Duo! Both of you calm down!" Quatre squealed over the heated shouts as Trowa and Heero pulled the boys off each other.
"I think we should quit for the night." the taller boy observed as he tossed Wufei into a chair.
"That's a good idea, we're all tired and tempers are getting a little... well..." Quatre trailed off not being able to think of anything properly diplomatic and yet strong enough to accurately describe the two bantering idiots... enthusiasm.
"Short." Heero cut in setting Duo in his chair and starting to clean up the scattered papers and books.
"I guess you're right," Duo sighed and bent over to help pick up the mess. Wufei grunted and began stuffing papers into the box.
"Done for the night?" a soft feminine voice cut in.
"Yes, Dige, we're going to bed. We can finish later." Quatre answered the smiling screen.
"I'll save your progress and we can continue at a latter date." she smiled.
"Thank you Dige." Quatre sighed and shut the program off then wandered upstairs to bed, Trowa following close behind. Duo and Wufei picked up papers as Heero packed Dige away in the closet.
"Fanatic." Duo whispered across the table to Wufei staking papers in the box. The Chinese glared up indignantly.
"Pickpocket." Wufei returned.
"Hey! I am Not a liar!"
"And I'm not a Psychopath."
"That's debatable." Duo huffed and it once again degenerated to blows. Wufei reached over the table briskly pulling Duo up and throwing him over his shoulder and halfway across the room, scattering the box and its contents on the floor. Duo pulled himself back and was about to return the favor when he caught a stalking figure loom up behind Wufei and smiled diabolically.
"What are you smiling at?" Wufei spat just in time to feel the answer. Heero's hands gripped around Wufei's throat pulling him back onto the ground. The Wing pilot stood threateningly over the young Chinese who glared defiantly up but dared not move. Heero waited until Duo stood smirking beside him to step away from the captive boy.
"Go on to bed, we'll clean up." Heero commanded and grudgingly Wufei obeyed, happily once he saw Duo's face fall with one look at the new mess. Trowa and Quatre stared on from the door and shaking their heads returned to bed once the situation had defused itself. Duo knelt down and began picking up papers, roughly shoving them back in the box. Heero took the box and began to straighten the papers and stack what Duo handed him neatly inside.
Duo was picking up the scattered dice as Heero tried to fold the maps that had gotten scattered in his and Wufei's little outburst. Heero wasn't having much luck getting them back the way they were. Duo suppressed a wry smile and continued picking up stray dice. He spotted one under the couch and reached under to get it. Feeling it he noticed it wasn't a die at all but a hollow smooth circle of cool metal. Duo pulled the ring out from under the couch. 'I wonder where this came from?' he questioned his mind as he inspected the ring. It was a simple ring of fine silver inlaid with a line of onyx and carved on the inside in some strange script he couldn't read. A strange recognition hit him suddenly.
"Hey, Heero, check this out. It's that wish ring we found!" he laughed ironically.
"Hn." Heero glared at the ridiculous accusation and kept fighting with the maps. Duo shrugged and slipped it onto his index finger. He frowned as it slipped easily off, too big. Duo resigned to slide it onto his thumb where it would stay and keep picking up his mess.
Heero's head snapped up at the soft beep from his laptop in the corner. He sprang out of his bed despite the minuscule hour of sleep he'd gotten that night. It took only seconds for his computer to decode and scan the message for viruses and less than a minute for Heero to scan the text for content. Five minutes after receiving the message all five pilots were hastily packing away their gear in the small study they had gamed in just hours before. Quatre brought in a trey of fruits and warm pancakes with orange juice for breakfast drowsily setting it on the table as the others stuffed laptops, ammunition clips, guns, smoke bombs, swords and automatic rounds into ragged duffle bags. Duo grabbed a stack of pancakes and shoved them in his mouth as he trotted out the door to load up Shinigami. Heero strode out the door without a word and Wufei followed suit. Trowa stopped and picked up a pancake and an apple before giving Quatre an apologetic shrug and going out to ready Heavyarms. Quatre sighed and dumped the fruit and pancakes into plastic bags then tucked them gently into his duffel before trotting out after them.
Five Gundams sped hastily off over the horizon to their target, all in a day's work. They located the Oz base easily enough, landed their Gundams inconspicuously in a convenient large forest just to the east of the compound and trudged through the wood into the base. It wasn't too hard to slip past the guards and once inside they split up to locate their objectives. A few minutes latter the loud explosion followed quickly by the ringing siren told Heero that Wufei, Duo and Trowa had done their jobs, all that was left was for him and Quatre to finish theirs.
Quatre watched the door nervously as his file downloaded a bit too slowly. Across the hall he saw Heero's face illuminated in the light of another screen as his file copied itself to the one of little discs they kept always on hand. He heard footsteps down the hall and watched as Heero gracefully pulled his gun and leveled it on the approaching blur of black and brown color speeding down the hall followed closely by a taller green and blue.
"Black Sector blown to Hell!" Duo mirthfully chortled as he slid to a stop between the two rooms, grinning widely at the gun pointed to his head. "Pleased to see me Heero?" he smiled.
"Green Sector down." Trowa informed as he stopped by Quatre's door.
"Where's Wufei?" Quatre asked worriedly not seeing the dark Chinese. Trowa turned and stared, Duo shrugged. More footsteps echoed in the hall, followed closely by gunshot.
"Disc." Heero demanded turning off his computer and striding to the door by Quatre. The Arab quickly pulled the disc from his laptop, closed the cover and stuffed it into his bag. The quartet turned the corner of the hall just when a white streak passed them by and soldier's shouts rang out in the direction from which it came. Seeing the rank of soldiers in pursuit they joined Wufei's flight for the only not smoldering exit left. They ran at a dead run from the hail of bullets, extraordinarily lucky not to get hit as they turned the corner, the door now in their sights, unfortunately it was behind a row of Oz soldiers and a few Leos. The five pilots ducked hastily into an adjacent hall and suddenly realized, a little too late, their error as they saw the wall at the other end. Dead End!
They could hear the soldiers approaching, laughing it seemed. As Heero banged his shoulder
against a large steel door about halfway down the hall. A large Leo loomed into view at the open end of the hall, the boys backed slowly away.
"I wish I were anywhere but here." Duo quietly moaned nervously spinning the ring on his thumb. The boys backed a few more steps into the shadowy depths of the hall then suddenly were surrounded in a glittering gold haze.

A simple looking bag that holds an extra-dimensional pocket where one can easily store up to 15 square feet or 1500 lbs of junk- whichever comes first, perfect for sneaking in contraband and reducing the visible size of one's party.

It is that time of year again when traders try to predict whether this year's summer cycle will compel them to dump stocks in May only to return in the Fall.
In previous posts on the "sell in May" cycle, I have come to the following conclusions:
- "Summer's Positive Gains Can Come With High Risks" (June 1, 2011): the summer tends to be a profitable time to trade, although it comes with high risks. If the S&P 500 (SPY) sells off during the summer, it tends to drop hard and far. 2011 was a classic example of this dynamic.
- "Trading Around May" (May 24, 2008): "It is not typical for the market to top out in May for the year. When May is not the high for the year, traders get all summer long for repeated chances to bail for the year." Of course, last year, the market topped out for the year right at the beginning of May!
With the S&P 500 flirting with multi-year highs just like last May, I wondered at what point in May does the S&P 500 tend to peak? A quick turn of the data crank reveals that from 1950-2011, May tends to peak at the start or end of the month. The chart below shows that 35% of the time, May peaks in the first third of the month. Another 35% of the time, May peaks in the last 20% of the month with a strong tendency for the very end of the month to deliver the peak.
Source: price data from Y!Finance
Here is how to read the chart:
The x-axis represents a range of trading days in May. To account for the different number of trading days from year to year (20 to 22), I converted ranges into percentage of the month. So if a given May has 20 trading days, then the (90-100]% range represents the last two trading days of the month - days 19 and 20. Day #18 is the 90% point, but it belongs to the (80-90]% range. The y-axis provides the frequency of occurrence for a given range. Again, using the (90-100]% range, the vertical bar stretching to 25% means that 25% of all years delivered a May peak in the last two trading days of the month. I used data from 1950 to 2011 from Y! Finance.
If May is so consistently treacherous, one might expect traders to sell in April to get ahead of the killing fields. Yet, it does not show up in the data. Perhaps they are exceptionally disciplined at picking their spots in May. I figured that the worse the performance in April, the earlier the peak in May as the selling continued and/or traders took their cue. Or maybe very good Aprils would keep optimism flowing later into May. Neither relationship shows up in the data. In fact, there appears to be absolutely no relationship between April's price performance and the point at which the S&P 500 peaks in May. The red line in the chart below shows the price performance for last month.
The S&P 500's April Price Performance Vs. the Timing of May's Peak
Source: price data from Y!Finance
In other words, traders worried about the sell-in-May cycle can likely afford to wait until May (or later) to time their exodus. In "Sell In May and Go Away?" the incomparable Jeff Macke has a little fun with Jeff Hirsch, the author of the Stock Trader's Almanac 2012, by pestering him for specific advice on when and how to trade the sell-in-May cycle (this time combined with the Presidential election cycle!). Hirsch states that the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DIA) returns on average 7.5% from November to April and only 0.3% from May to October. For the long-term investor, it is hardly worth bailing on these numbers. However traders will note that these numbers definitely indicate higher downside risks from May to October (as I intimated above, this downside volatility typically represents buying opportunities).
Macke presses Hirsch for a specific time in May to sell, but Hirsch advises following "technical indicators." If history holds true, get nervous early in May and get really anxious toward the end of the month.
Be careful out there!

Captain Lacey has finally taken advantage of his connection to Grenville. Grenville has obtained him a post as secretary to the headmaster of a boy's school. On his arrival, he discovers that it will not be the sinecure that he thought. Someone is playing malicious pranks and disrupting the peace of the school. When Gabriel recognizes the head groom, he finds himself plunged into a mystery that will end in the death of the head groom.
Sebastien, a Romany and groom at the school, is accused of the murder. Gabriel will set out to find the murderer with the help of Grenville. His search will lead to a number of suspects. Gabriel will not only find the perpetrator of the pranks; he will expose an elaborate fraud scheme which led directly to the groom's death.
This book continues the adventures of Captain Lacey and the mysteries that he gets involved in. The author has continued to show us his friends and enemies. Even though some of them make only minor appearances in this book, we see a deepening of the ties between Lacey and Grenville. Grenville is one of the wealthiest men in England and no one, least of all the Captain, understand why he maintains his ties to the Captain.
There is also a shift in the uneasy acquaintance with James Denis. Denis is the man that everyone goes to when they wish to obtain information or objects. His prices are high and his methods are nefarious. He can be brutal and he has no qualms about trying to buy someone or blackmail them into doing what he wants.
Gabriel shows a less melancholy character in this book. He is not afraid to takes some enjoyment out of what life has brought his way. Gabriel has learned to sympathize with some of the students and the harassment they suffer from their prefect. We see his true feelings for Grenville when Grenville is attacked. Gabriel will also find himself in the unique position of doing a service for James Denis. He will find out the location of his wife and daughter. The daughter he hasn't seen since she was two years old.
I can't wait for the next installment to see what Gabriel will do with this new information. If you've enjoyed the previous three books, you won't want to miss this one. Ms. Gardner has continued her series with a book that is as well-written as the others.

The Sarasota Concert Association's first performer of the season called in sick a couple of months ago, so violinist Chee-Yun and pianist Jeewon Park rode in on their white horses to save the day.
Chee-Yun, a prize-winning violinist who's been with the illustrious Young Concert Artists and studied with Dorothy DeLay at Juilliard, has made a major career since her first U.S. appearance at the age of 13 with the New York Philharmonic in a Young People's Concert.
Park, who holds degrees from both Juilliard and Yale, is a master of the piano, offering support to her musical partner while taking good advantage of her own virtuosic skills at the keyboard. She's a wonderful soloist in her own right, but she doesn't step on any musical toes — a great trait in a chamber-music colleague.
The pair's playing of the Beethoven "Kreutzer" and the Brahms D minor, Opus 108 sonatas was not only exquisite, it was sensuous, colorful and personal. They made the music their own without spoiling the intent of the composers. The word that kept coming to mind over and over as they played was "cantabile." They sang the phrases.
Chee-Yun's interpretation of the well-known Bach "Chaconne" for solo violin showed her to be as much of a performer as a serious musician, making good use of her virtuosity without any of the glitz or mannerisms to which so many other violinists resort. And the pair's encores — the gorgeous "Song Without Words," by Charles Wadsworth, and the fiery "Zigeunerweisen," by Sarasate — showed their consummate musicianship and technical prowess.
It was a recital where showmanship and skill stood side-by-side without detracting from each other. Even Chee-Yun's tendency to talk a bit too much was welcomed, because what she said was both charming and enlightening, so we had as much fun as she and her pianist seemed to be having.

Title: | The role of community-based organisations in response to the HIV/AIDS in Botswana : the case of Gabane Community Home Based Care Organisation |
Author: | Chibamba, Fortune Michelo |
Abstract: | This study examines the role of Community Based-Organisations (CBOs) in the response to HIV/AIDS as a development challenge drawing examples from the Gabane Community Home-Based Care CBO in Botswana. The study adopted qualitative methods of research and used group discussions, relative unstructured interviews, direct observation and literature review as methods of data collection. The study found out that HIV/AIDS is indeed a development problem and that it can be dealt with using some existing development approaches such as the sustainable livelihoods approaches. The study further identified specific roles that CBOs play in the response to HIV/AIDS. It also revealed the potential that CBOs have in achieving development. In addition, the study identified and outlined challenges that CBOs face in responding to HIV/AIDS. Key recommendations are that CBOs must integrate poverty reduction interventions in their activities. They must also form coalitions and strengthen their capacity to sustain their activities and manage partnerships. |

Not able to connect SMD pads to a ground plane
I am designing a 4 layer board with SMD components in DesignSpark PCB. One of the inner layer is defined as a power plane. Of course, to go from a SMD pad to a power plane you need to connect the SMD pad to that plane using a via. Now some pads can be autorouted, but on other pads the autorouter does nothing.
And I haven't found how to connect an SMD pad to the power plane manually. If I make a track from the SMD pad and change the layer to the power plane, DesignSpark PCB inserts a via but does'nt let me stop there.
See the attached picture. I have highlighted the GND net so all the pads assigned to GND are shown in blue. The GND pads of R2, R3 and C1 were autorouted and they are connected to the GND power plane. But the blue pads on U1 won't autoroute, and I also can't manually connect them to the power plane.
Can someone please explain how to do this?
Best regards
Simon Brouwer

Nuclear talks between Iran and the countries of the 5+1 group – the five permanent members of the UN Security Council (the US, Russia, China, France and the UK) and Germany – will resume on 14 April in Turkey. "We have agreed with Iran to launch a new round of talks in Istanbul, on 14 April" said Michael Mann, spokesman for High Representative Catherine Ashton. "We hope that this first round will produce a conducive environment for concrete progress," Mann commented. Negotiators failed to reach an agreement at the last meeting, which took place over a year ago, in January 2011.
According to Iran's Supreme National Security Council, the second round of talks will be held in Baghdad, but the date will only be announced at the end of the Istanbul meeting. However, the EU's diplomatic service did not confirm said venue, as "in accordance with existing practice, an announcement on the date and venue for a second round would be made at the end of the first round". Nevertheless, Mann took note of the "invitation of the government of Iraq to host a subsequent round of talks".
The meeting follows increasing tensions between the EU and Iran over Tehran's alleged nuclear programme, as the EU and its 27 member states have already agreed to cut imports of Iranian oil, while Tehran threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz through which transits almost one-fifth of worldwide traded oil.
Iranian Foreign Minister Ali Akbar Salehi has already announced that no preconditions to the talks will be accepted. "Setting any conditions before a meeting means drawing a conclusion before the negotiations, which is completely meaningless," he said according to the national news agency. "None of the parties will accept any conditions set before the talks," he added.

This is the loft with We all know space can get limited in the garage. While in most households the garage is supposed to be the man's domain to do what he pleases, while the woman gets the rest of the house to foof up. But we also know that over time women find a way to encroach on our garage/shop space and next thing we know our ultimate workshop is confined to one little corner. If you still like to do your own service work and tinker around on your bike in your garage and could really benefit from working off a lift, but fear you don't have the space, no worries, Kendon Industries has you covered. Kendon has been around for years continually creating innovative products to make a motorcycle enthusiast's life much easier. Two of its most popular items are the Cruiser Bike lifts and Motorcycle trailers. Now I know what you are thinking, "there are a ton of lifts and trailers on the market, what makes Kendon so special?" And here is the Kendon lift fully raised with one of our project bikes on it. The answer is pretty simple, space. Where most motorcycle lifts are stuck in one spot once you set them up, and take up a lot of garage space when not in use, when you're done with the Kendon lift it can be folded up and stood up on one end (one end has wheels) and rolled off to a corner or against the wall where it takes up minimal space. Kendon's Cruiser Lift $649.97 (seen here) can fit a bike up to 90 inches long (measured from front of the front tire to center of the rear axle) and has a weight capacity of 1,000 pounds. The lift has a 32-inch working height when raised with variable height locks, integrated wheel chock, air over hydraulic jack-meaning you can use the manual hand pump or an air compressor to raise the lift. One really cool aspect of the lift is that is has removable front and rear sections for easy access when doing wheel replacements or cleaning. For the chopper guys Kendon offers a Chopper lift which can fit a bike up to 115 inches long (measured from the front of the front tire to the center of the rear axle). To make working on your bike even easier, Kendon offers a wide assortment of accessories for its lifts: work trays that slide in on the side rails, oil drain pans, and a frame jack that fits between the lifts side rails. Here's the combo trailer up on its casters and ready to be rolled away for storage. We hate to see it, but sometimes a bike just has to go onto a trailer. Owning a trailer or knowing someone who owns a trailer can be a lifesaver. However, a motorcycle trailer can take up a lot of space and can cause uproar if you live in one of those uptight neighborhoods where you can't have RV or trailers in your driveway or in front of your house. Well, just like its space saving motorcycle lifts, Kendon offers motorcycle trailers for those with limited space. Whether you have one bike, two bikes, atvs or a combo of the two, Kendon offers a trailer to fit your needs. They have single trailers, dual trailers, utility trailers and combo trailers (seen here) $1999.95. The combo trailer can carry three dirt bikes, or two sport bikes, or one big cruiser. The combo trailer has integrated wheel chocks, loading ramp, tie down points, and a weight capacity of 1,000 pounds. When not in use, you simply fold up the backend of the trailer then stand the trailer on its rear casters and roll it to wherever you want to store it. Just like the lift it can be stored against a wall or the side of the house where it will take up minimal space. I have personally used both of these products and can say that they really do come in handy. The lift served all the needs I used it for when working on my bikes and the trailer has saved me from the side of the road more than once.

Rania Youssef: Miss-understood?
Rania Youssef has caused controversy left right and center this year but according to the sexy starlet she's simply misunderstood.
Rania's choice of seductive film roles has earned her a scandalous reputation. But the diva claims it's not the makeup or skimpy clothing that attracts her to these parts, but the opportunity to show off her acting skills.
While the star might regularly raise the shock-meter with risque roles, she claims she has 'strict red lines' that she will never cross.
But this year Rania's real-life dramas have proved more shocking than her on-screen antics.
After accusations of drug smuggling and a messy divorce from her bad boy ex-husband hit the headlines, the Egyptian actress' image was left far from clean. But according to Rania, she is just an ordinary girl unlucky in love.
Her recent comments have left skeptics across the region wondering how much more personal and public drama Rania can serve up before hitting her 'strict red lines'.

text: What Fasting Can and Can't Do for Your HealthJust how healthy is fasting? Here, the truth about the role of fasting in heart disease, weight loss, cancer, and more. Fasting may help your heart. Fasting for a day once a month may prevent heart disease and insulin resistance, the precursor to diabetes, according to two studies from Utah's Intermountain Medical Center presented recently at the American College of Cardiology's scientific sessions. When researchers looked at the habits of 200 men and women, they found that those who fasted once a month were 58 percent less likely to have heart disease than those who didn't (after they controlled for factors such as age, smoking status, and high blood pressure). They then set out to understand why. In a smaller study, the scientists measured various blood levels in 30 healthy adults after one day when they fasted and one day when they ate normally. After they fasted, participants had huge increases in human growth hormone (HGH) — 13-fold in women and 20-fold in men, among other changes. HGH protects lean muscle mass and encourages the body to burn fat stores instead. "During fasting, your fat cells are being metabolized and used as fuel," says Horne. "If fat is being used for fuel, in the long run you have fewer fat cells in your body." This may mean less insulin resistance and a lower risk of heart disease later in life. There's a chance fasting can cut cancer risk. Periods of fasting did slow the rate of cell division (a measure of cancer risk) in mice, according to an American Journal of Physiology study. The researchers aren't sure why, but say it may result from a decrease in growth factors that results from nutrient deprivation. But since the science is preliminary, you shouldn't fast solely for cancer-prevention purposes until there is more definitive research on humans, says study author Marc Hellerstein, PhD, MD, professor of human nutrition at University of California, Berkeley The jury's still out on fasting for other ailments. While there isn't much research on many of the diseases proponents claim fasting helps treat — multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, and allergies among them — doctors say that if you're medically able to fast safely (which rules out those with more serious health issues), there's no research against doing it either. In fact, one small Iranian study of 40 adults with multiple sclerosis found that there were no negative effects from fasting during the month of Ramadan compared with a group who didn't fast. "If you're not on prescription medicine, generally in good health, and want to fast periodically because you feel you get a health benefit from it, we don't have evidence that this would be harmful," says Katz. Fasting won't help you lose — and keep off — weight. "Fasting for weight loss is just another form of yo-yo dieting," says Joel Fuhrman, MD, board certified family physician specializing in nutritional lifestyle medicine and author of Fasting and Eating for Health. While you may see a small drop in the scale, don't expect the weight loss to last. "The pounds that come off on a short-term fast are mainly water and stored carbohydrates, which will come back as soon as you start eating again," says Cynthia Sass, MPH, RD, author of the bestselling book Cinch! Conquer Cravings, Drop Pounds, and Lose Inches. And if you're tempted to fast one day as a green light to eat whatever you want the next, think again. "Weight loss is about energy balance — if you have consume fewer calories than you burn, you will lose weight," Katz. "On the days you fast you have a calorie deficit. But what really comes into play is what you do on the other days." In other words, you can negate the potential health effects of a fast by binging afterward. Bottom line: True weight-loss success involves healthy eating (along with exercise habits) that you are committed to and can maintain over time. Fasting can't take the place of a healthy diet. While there may be health perks to intermittent fasting, the research is still preliminary. Horne's lab is currently working on studies that will evaluate how often and for how long people need to fast to see health benefits. One thing we know for sure about health: Eating well every day plays a major role in preventing heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. "Focusing on consistently eating enough nutrient-rich whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains snowballs into proven powerful benefits over time," says Sass. Another important thing to keep in mind: Just as fasting gives your body a break from toxins, it also saps your body of vital nutrients like vitamin D, calcium, and omega-3 fatty acids. "With fasting, you risk throwing out the baby with the bathwater," says Katz. "As you create nutrient deficits on fast days, it may be difficult to compensate on the days you do eat." So if you choose to fast, you have to pack your diet with nutritious foods. "Fasting is not a way of fixing an otherwise broken diet," says Katz. "It should be used only as a way of helping you establish a healthy way of eating, rebooting your body to focus on what's important." Talk to your doctor before you start a fasting regimen While fasting may have the potential to play a role in wellness, it's definitely not for everyone. Specifically, if you have a history of eating disorders, diabetes, low blood pressure, anemia, are pregnant or nursing, or are on prescription medication, as well as other conditions/circumstances, fasting is not safe for you. "If someone wants to use fasting as part of a medical intervention, they should discuss it with their doctor first," says Horne. While there's no evidence that fasting one to two nonconsecutive days per week is harmful for a healthy person, it could be dangerous for others, says Katz. See your doctor for recommendations that suit your needs. When you talk to your doctor, make sure he's aware of every drug you take, including over-the-counter meds and dietary supplements. A seemingly benign medication like acetaminophen can be harmful on an empty stomach. Even if your doctor gives the go-ahead, don't jump head first into fasting — it's crucial that you understand how to do so safely, and in the context of a healthy lifestyle. For instance, treat a fast day as a time of physical and emotional rest, not simply a day of not eating, says Fuhrman. You may feel fatigued and grumpy and face a higher risk of fainting, making fasting ideal for weekends and holidays as opposed to hectic workdays. Talking to your doctor and educating yourself on fasting before you attempt it can mean the difference between a potentially health-boosting habit and a trip to the emergency room.

Updated: Jan 25, 2013 1:38 PM
BUTTE-Butte Silver Bow Law Enforcement has a better description of a shooting suspect that reportedly shot a Mining City Taxi employee several times.
Sheriff Ed Lester says, "This is uncommon in that the victim fleeing-the suspect fired at the victim. That's pretty uncommon behavior and it just goes to show that this person is probably desperate and obviously very dangerous to have loose in the community."
The shooting occurred around 7:20 Thursday night at the Mining City Taxi business, located at 227 Front Street.
A 23 year old female employee was alone at the time when the suspect entered the building, demanding money.
The female led the suspect through the building, then began to flee outside.
She was headed west on Front Street when she was shot 4 times by the suspect.
Sheriff Lester says the firearm used in the incident appears to by a revolver with a 4 inche barrel.
There were no shell casings found at the scene.
She is in stable condition at St. James Healthcare.
The suspect is believed to be a medium build male.
He could be around 5'3" to 5'4" inches tall.
He was wearing a camouflage zip up sweatshirt, blue jeans and dark or black shoes.
Sheriff Lester adds, "The real distinctive part of this is he was wearing a green hard hat or miners type hat helmet and a hunter orange cover on his face."
Lester and his investigators continue to canvass the area but ultimately anyone with information about this incident is asked to contact law enforcement.
Lester adds, "Anybody who would've seen anybody wearing any of that would be fairly distinctive so we're hoping that someone saw them either before or after this incident and then call us with a location of where they might of seen them or anything else that might involve this individual."
You can call Silver Bow Law Enforcement at 497-1120.

Le Castagne
Online Reservations
We had dined at Le Castagne a few years ago and remembered it to be enjoyable. We were so happy to have tried it again. The food was excellent. The veal chop was outstanding and the Soul delicious. I did find the pasta sauces a bit heavy, but still enjoyable. The service was fabulous! Our waiter was as professional and extremely personable. We will visit Le Castagne again.
Delicious food, great and friendly service - a winner!
Excellent meal for 6. Everyone enjoyed it. Wine list pricey but good selection. Highly recommended.
I have visited Le Castagne several times over the years and have always been impressed with the quality of the food, the elegance of the room and the competence of the servers. It has usually been fairly empty at lunch as it is a little off the normal restayurant scene, but it delivers really good food at reaonable prices and has been around a long time, so it must get busy at other times. It's especially appropriate if you want a quiet place for either a romantic meal or a business lunch. I had the tomato soup and gnocchi and both were excellent. I did not have dessert thsi time, but have had it in the past and they were well made and fresh.
Great menu and presentation. Also good for gluten free. I highly recommend this restaurant.
Nornally, there's a falloff when 2 key people take a vacation before Memorial Day, Not so here. Lisa, my favorite hostess & the person who helps keep the restaurant on the right track, was filled in very amply by bright, cheerful 2 young ladies who had a smile on their faces & were very attentive to our group of 4. Michael was on vacation, and so we were in the hands of the sous chef - which turned out to be a seamless transition. Everything we ordered was perfectly cooked & served piping hot.,
Food was excellent, portions a little small but reasonably priced for the quality. Wait staff was inexperienced, but pleasant. I would go back and not be afraid to recommend Le Castagne.
Le Castagne has a striking appearance -- more like a high end restaurant in Milan, than an Italian restaurant in Philly. It is modern, with widely spaced tables. The high ceiling helps keep the noise level down. This place is perfect for a business lunch or dinner. The food is excellent, the choice good. The only odd thing is that the service doesn't match the appearance of the restaurant or the quality of the food. The servers are sweet, young females. They try hard but it is weird to get your appetizer before any wine appears on the table, and for the server not even to notice this. We had to call over the maitre d' to get our wine.
Great ambience -perfect for business lunch- noise level low Food excellent! Have already recommended to friends.
Crème brulee was perfect. If I wasn't all dressed up I would have licked the plate like a dog to get the last morsels.
While a little pricey, Le Castagne offers quiet, well-spaced tables that are good for business lunches. The portions are modest, but that may be because the good flavors make you want more. The veal ravioli consisted of about 5 delicious pieces with a wonderful sauce.
My wife and I totally enjoyed our first visit to Le Castagne. My wife had the gnocchi and I had the chicken with broccoli Rabe. We split the tuna carpaccio and a salad for an appetizer, also excellent. Both meals were excellent, and service was great. One previous review stated that they had a service problem. Apparently that comment corrected the situation. Service folk and hostess were all over us from beginning to end and the restaurant was 3/4 full. I believe our main wait staff's name was Stephanie, she was superb. Would certainly recommend this restaurant and will return.
Food was spectacular, and if you go at lunch time, the prices are great for the portions. Highly recommended.
We've been here before, usually once a year for a special occasion. We've come here for a few years, only ever getting the same thing every time (gnocchi in white cream truffle sauce) and it has yet to disappoint.
We went for the 3 course price fixe lunch and enjoyed it despite a few annoying things. There was a large (office) group in the rear and they conversation traveled throughout restaurant. Also there is "ambient music playing" and it became distracting. Ambience was in no way Italian. Food was good,; Dessert was great. Service was friendly and excellent
Five of us met here for restaurant week by random choice from the list of participating places, and what a find! The service was impeccable; our waitress was attentive and friendly. The sommelier helped us pick out a mid-level bottle of wine that was easily split amongst us with extra. The menu was impressive, including options with not-easily-found ingredients such as saffron and truffle. They also provided specials that could be incorporated into the restaurant week prix fixe menu. Everyone really enjoyed their food. My pasta with saffron and crab was amazing, and the pan-seared salmon (a special) was perfectly cooked. The dessert was lovely and light - a good compliment to the evening. Overall, we had a great time and never felt rushed.
3 of us tried this gem for lunch for restaurant week. All of us were so pleased with the quality of food, the ambience and the attentive service.
I had the heirloom beet salad with goat cheese mousse followed by the leg of lamb. The beets were perfect and the mousse inspired. The leg of lamb was incredible-cut like butter and melted in the mouth. The dessert was a banana brulle and nutella custard that was fabulous (and I loathe bananas!) I cannot wait to go back!
We picked this resturant based on our experience at La Famiglia. Owned by same family and was not disappointed. Interesting menu choices for foodies and also some items you would find in Europeon dining. In fact we commented it remind us of Bistros in Paris.The presentation and art of the placemnt of insalates and entree, but especailly the dessert. Our server was busy as it was near full in seating, the hostess also helped. I did have to ask and wait a little on second glass of wine. But we were on no time limit and chatting alot. Would think the regular menu would be wonderful and hope to come back. Wine list was a little pricey, but this is center city..
We had a great experience with both the food and the service! The white truffle gnocchi was the best I've ever had!
Always get some pasta, and have them turn down the music.
We were staying @ The Rittenhouse & were in town for a romantic night & just wanted a quiet relaxing dinner, away from the "in-crowd on the square". Food & service were fantastic. Sat at the balcony table that was perfect for an Indian Summer October night w/ the benefit of being alone!
I was a little disappointed when we were seated upon arrival. I had wrote a special request to not sit by the door since we were celebrating a wedding anniversary and would appreciate a romantic table away from the door and bustle. My party and i were sat directly in front of the door. I expect special/expensive restaurants such as this place to pay attention to details a bit more. Also the waiter took 15-20 minutes to swipe our credit cards at the end of the evening - it is a bit nerve racking when your waiter runs off with your credit card for that long of a time. The food was to die for though!
As always, a great meal at Le Castagne. I love some of the tweaks Chef Michael has made -- for example, burrata has become a menu staple at many places, but served with duck bacon, pickled berries and pistachio dust is unique. I had papperdelle Bolognese for a mid-course and lamb entrée. Absolutely delicious!
I miss their chestnut ravioli. Am not typically a pasta lover, and they have meat, fish, and veggies, but the pasta here is noteworthy. Nice bar if you want to meet friends for a pre-dinner drink and or bar snacks.
A little pricey, but well worth it! I recommend the gnocchi - melts in your mouth :)
Everything was absolute perfection from the very first bite!! A truly memorable evening!! We can't wait to return!!! Maureen&Rich
Veal Hanger Steak absolutely fabulous. Great service! Everything from the appetizer to salad the entrée was outstanding. I was there on a week night and it felt like I owned the restaurant. Friendly staff at the bar for a small batch Bourbon to finish off the evening. Don't miss this restaurant when you are in Phila........it's even better than a cheesesteak!
The food here is consistently good and reasonably priced. Service is normally good except on our most recent visit when service was slow and inconsistent. Nice looking place and appear to value the customers.
Food was great and service went along with it! Enjoyed the dining experience from the drinks to the dessert. Would definitely recommend as a romantic spot. Quiet and pleasant to dine with no loud or obnoxious yelling. Great place if you are a foodie and wish to indulge in authentic italian cuisine. Gnocchi in white truffle cream was superb!
Just perfect. Everything perfectly prepared, and then some. Handled a special order with aplomb. Peaceful, great for a business lunch too. Hats off.
Our experience could not have been better! Starting with the young lady at reception., to the pleasant and efficient waitstaff, to the outstanding food...all delightful!

Agenda 21 -- The Blueprint to Advance Sustainable Development |
By Daniel Beckett | |||
Tuesday, 15 June 2004 08:34 | |||
In this straightforward expose of Agenda 21 -- the blueprint to advance Sustainable Development -- Beckett examines the notion of "sustainability." His conclusion: The American people need to be better informed so they understand that Sustainable Development is a pseudonym for centralized control over human life. Santa Cruz County, CA The policies of Sustainable Development are changing the very fabric of America. Sustainable Development entered the world officially in 1987 in a
report of the United Nations Commission on Environment and Development
entitled, "Our Common Future". This commission was chaired by Gro Harlem
Brundtland, Prime minister of Norway and Vice-President of the World
Socialist Party. A well known mantra that originated from that report is
"meeting today's need's without compromising future generations to meet
their own needs". If one is to look, this mission statement has been
incorporated into many government and non-government organizations. Is
it a surprise that it was also reflected in the old Soviet constitution? Agenda 21 -- The Blueprint to Advance Sustainable Development by Daniel Beckett

Lounge Chairs & Portland Flea
Sewing cushions makes such a big impact on a piece. I love picking the fabric and then seeing the new piece take shape. I really couldn't be more thrilled with how these turned out!
This was the first time I sewed zippers into the cushions. It made the process much faster, since I didn't have to do any hand sewing this time. I also love the functionality of being able to wash them easily.
Come see these chairs and much more at this weekend's Portland Flea! We will be Union/Pine from 10am - 4pm, it will be blast. Hope to see you there! ;)

A mate of Einstein's had a thing for cats. He once proposed that under specific conditions, a cat locked up in a box could be considered as being both alive and dead at the same time.
Nuclear Dawn 2 is a little bit like that. In a recent Reddit AMA, we stated that we're considering working on a sequel to Nuclear Dawn. This was enough to flood the internet with reports on the 'announcement' for an ND sequel.
The rumours of Nuclear Dawn's sequel are currently terminally premature. We are not working on a Nuclear Dawn sequel, yet.
To set the record straight, there could be no InterWave without Nuclear Dawn. ND was our first major project, an idealistic salvo at modern shooters that boldly showed it could, just like that little engine. Such a labour of love cannot be abandoned, and we are at some point in the future going to revisit Nuclear Dawn, and shape a sequel to shame all sequels for our baby, but only when we're ready.
One thing that Nuclear Dawn taught us is that if you're going to bite off more than you can chew, you better do so with a tried and tested team that won't break apart at the seams when the going gets heavy, and as anyone who's ever been involved in game development knows, the going gets pretty damn heavy just when you need your best faculties at their sharpest.
Right now, we're focusing on building a team worthy of our ambition and reckless dreams, through work on smaller, more focused projects. Dark Matter is one such project. It's completely unrelated to Nuclear Dawn in both form and game style, though it does pay homage to the universe and IP. We can't discuss much about it yet as it's barely in its first two months of prototyping, but it already shows a lot of potential.
We are building a strong, unbreakable core team so that when it comes to battling giants perched on top of windmills, with not enough stones in our slingshot, at least we won't be eyeing each other for lunch.
Fear not, we're not going to leave Nuclear Dawn fans without support, as we continue to roll out major updates that keep bringing more and more to the game, based both on player feedback and on our initial designs.
One such update was just released, and the reaction was heart warming – so many of you picked up Nuclear Dawn and kept playing that we've been thoroughly invigorated, and expanded our plans for continued Nuclear Dawn support for the foreseeable future.
Coming soon to a post-apocalyptic wasteland near you is a level cap increase, more class options, some core tweaks to player-initiated unlocks, and destructible, faction-build obstacles, just because there's nothing like watching waves of powerless enemies crash against your defences and succumb to your weapons fire.
Until we're ready, Nuclear Dawn will be very much like that famous quantum cat that's both there and not there at the same time, just waiting for a brave observer to open the box and find out what's what. Of course, we feel that much as the cat will be both alive and angry, Nuclear Dawn 2 will come out swinging.

Desperate to cut budget deficits, officials in several states have begun reducing the amount or quality of food served to prison inmates, an issue that has long been a sensitive one for inmates and has often provoked protests.
These new food plans involve either reducing the number of calories provided each day or eliminating a meal on weekends and holidays by serving two meals instead of three.
So far, officials in the states that have cut prisoners' food say inmates have not complained, and they insist that the nutritional value of the meals being served still meets national standards. Among these states are Arizona, Iowa, Minnesota, North Carolina, Texas and Virginia; other states, including Massachusetts, are beginning to experiment with the reduced diets in individual prisons.
Experts on prisons say, however, that food is only a very small part of the overall cost of running a prison system -- about 80 percent of prison budgets go for guards' salaries -- so that any saving achieved by reducing inmates' food will be minimal and comes at a risk.

So is time, been a long time. don't care. goto stop this sh*t
The kiss of knife on flesh
Sweet beads of releif
I could do it fast
But i goto prolong the horror
The first drip runs
I am alive
Do I not bleed
just like everyone else
I wipe dry and wait the next one
Like red tears.
I can cry.
i watch fat red tears rolling down

Type of Document Dissertation Author Toh, Huey Ling URN etd-03222010-133448 Title Design of a Low-cost Adaptive Question Answering System for Closed Domain Factoid Queries Degree Doctor of Philosophy Department Computer Science, Department of Advisory Committee
Advisor Name Title Lois Wright Hawkes Committee Chair Daniel Schwartz Committee Member R.C. Lacher Committee Member Theodore Baker Committee Member Ralph Dougherty University Representative Keywords
- Query-Based Indexing
- Adaptive Factoid Question Answering
- Closed Domain
- e-Learning
Date of Defense 2010-02-26 Availability unrestricted Abstract Closed domain question answering (QA) systems achieve precision and recall at the cost of complex language processing techniques to parse the answer corpus. We propose a query-based model for indexing answers in a closed domain factoid QA system. Further, we use a phrase term inference method for improving the ranking order of related questions. We posit that a query can be used as the unique identifier of an answer, and thus, the recognition of a query allows us to retrieve the correct answer. In instances where a query is unrecognized, we infer synonymous relationships with other queries through the use of a user feedback loop to improve the ranking order of closely related questions, where possible.
The goal of this research is to build a prototype as proof-of-concept that will learn domain-specific knowledge with increased usage through time. This study will focus its efforts in researching the feasibility of a lightweight QA learning system that adapts its responses based on the interaction amongst its users. This offers a lightweight approach to a factoid question answering system for domain specific knowledge bases with significantly simplified language processing techniques.

1/4 tsp. salt
1 cup unsalted butter, softened (I made the correction. It originally was 1 pound of butter.)
1/2 c. sugar
2 large egg yolks
1 tsp. vanilla
2 tsp. finely grated orange zest
1-1/2 tsp. orange zest
These are beautiful. I would enjoy these with a good cup of coffee. Very nice.
I saw the same recipe, I'm pretty confident it's supposed to be 1 CUP, not 1 POUND of butter, yeah!
Thank you for visiting...and for your sweet comments! Your recipes look amazing! I will be back!
So how much butter should I use? 1 cup, as soundless_space above mentioned, or should I use half a pound, halving what you wrote? Or, did you already take that into account and I should use 1 lb?
Jessica, I'm going with the 1 cup. And I made the correction on my recipe. Hope it works.
I would totally eat these, even if I were to be drug-tested at work tomorrow (assuming, that is, that I had a job)
Looks like a unique recipe, and I'm intrigued as to how the orange flavor compliments the poppy seeds.
These look soooo good! :)
I just made these last night. So good!

Colonoscopy 'Potentially Inappropriate' for 30% of Seniors
Her report, published in this week's JAMA Internal Medicine, looked at Medicare data from the Dartmouth Atlas between October 1, 2008 and September 30, 2009, to see hospital referral region patterns of variation across the nation as a whole. For the state of Texas, Sheffield used claims data from smaller hospital service areas, so she could see practices of individual physicians who performed colonoscopies.
She discovered that Medicare beneficiaries were much less likely to have a "potentially or probably inappropriate" colonoscopy if they lived in a non-metropolitan or rural area. Practitioners who were more likely to perform potentially or probably inappropriate colonoscopies were more likely to have been graduated from medical school before 1990 rather than after, and were more likely to perform a higher volumes of the procedure on Medicare beneficiaries each year.
The data was de-identified, so as not to reveal the practice pattern of an individual physician by name.
"Our purpose was not to point fingers at individual physicians or specialties. We just wanted to examine patterns in potentially inappropriate colonoscopy, because patterns can illustrate issues in everyday practice. It can help illuminate and show the range of practice in terms of the range of inappropriate colonoscopies.
Sheffield says that it may be that colonoscopists were simply slow to adapt the recommendations to their practices in certain parts of the country. In a subset of cases, she acknowledges, there may have been legitimate reasons why a physician recommended the procedure in a patient, and perhaps failed to code it properly for the claims database.
Comments are moderated. Please be patient.
mkparker1210 (3/12/2013 at 4:23 PM)
One of the things that's missing from harm from colonoscopies is the preparation. Studies have shown that the kidneys take a hit and geriatric patients could be at risk for electrolyte imbalances related to the prep. This can also place the patient at increased risk for falls.
