I stayed in this hotel for one night. The room was on the top floor and had a terrace with a nice view over Nice. The room itself was nice but quite small. Location is great as it's just a few minutes walk from the Port or Promenade D'Anglais. The price was a little bit too high tough.

Let´s get it straight. It is not GUN violence. The streets of the worst Chicago neighborhoods are not overrun by packs of guns, just lying in wait for someone to walk by so they can go off on their own.If Chicago were beset by a wave of attacks by rabid dogs, we would not see headlines decrying the "tooth violence," and we would not hear calls to pull all the teeth from the mouths of chipmunks, squirrels, and horses. That would be rediculous. The rational response would be to remove the mad dogs from the streets. Click Here if you Like this Comment

Their community leaders and "reverends" are also bought and paid for by the Democrat party to ensure that these people are held down, don´t dare question their "benefactors", pressure the people through peers if they try to change things, and keep them dependent. The people don´t think they can do any better. There are no jobs, their schools are horrible, and the women are practically expected to become single welfare mothers.

The article says she is a "Single Mother", but doesn´t say if her husband is dead, or if there ever was a husband. I´m thinking its just a string of "Baby Daddies". This all could have been avoided if she didn´t have an unwed litter of children. Or if she had maybe worked hard and tried to get them out of the environment they lived in instead of living off the dole. Oh yeah, and I´m sure that Ronnie´s "talent" and "Mentoring" of a rapper named "Yung Killa" was really going to take him places.

Cholesterol is a fatty substance that occurs naturally in the body. It performs several vital functions. It is needed to make the walls surrounding the body's cells and is the basic material that is converted to certain hormones. Your body makes all the cholesterol you need. You need only a small amount of fat in your diet to make enough cholesterol to stay healthy.
The fat and cholesterol you eat are absorbed in the intestine and transported to the liver. The liver converts fat into cholesterol, and releases cholesterol into the bloodstream. There are two main types of cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol (the "bad" cholesterol) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (the "good" cholesterol).
High levels of LDL cholesterol are linked to atherosclerosis, which is the accumulation of cholesterol-rich fatty deposits in arteries. This can cause arteries to narrow or become blocked, slowing or stopping the flow of blood to vital organs, especially the heart and brain. Atherosclerosis affecting the heart is called coronary artery disease, and it can cause a heart attack. When atherosclerosis blocks arteries that supply blood to the brain, it can cause a stroke.
High levels of HDL cholesterol actually protect against heart attacks and strokes by removing cholesterol from the arteries and bringing it back to the liver.
Because high cholesterol levels can cause atherosclerosis, doctors recommend that people keep their cholesterol levels within a specific range. In general, adults older than 20 should try to keep their total cholesterol level below 200 milligrams per deciliter.
For a more precise assessment of the risk of atherosclerosis, your LDL cholesterol should be checked. According to guidelines established by the government-sponsored National Cholesterol Education Program, the desirable level for LDL cholesterol depends on whether or not a person already has a disease caused by atherosclerosis or diabetes or other risk factors for coronary artery disease. In addition to a high LDL cholesterol level and diabetes, risk factors for coronary artery disease include:
If you have coronary artery disease, peripheral arterial disease or have had a stroke from atherosclerosis, your LDL cholesterol should be 70 milligrams per deciliter or less.
The more risk factors you have, the lower your target LDL cholesterol should be. In general, an LDL cholesterol level of less than 100 is best, but less than 130 may be acceptable for people with few or no risk factors.
Your level of HDL cholesterol is also very important. People with levels below 40 milligrams per deciliter are more likely to develop atherosclerosis, heart disease and stroke. Levels of HDL cholesterol above 60 milligrams per deciliter are associated with less atherosclerosis and are thought to help protect against heart disease and stroke.
Most people with high cholesterol don't have any symptoms until cholesterol-related atherosclerosis causes significant narrowing of the arteries leading to their hearts or brains. The result can be heart-related chest pain (angina) or other symptoms of coronary artery disease, as well as symptoms of decreased blood supply to the brain (transient ischemic attacks or stroke).
About 1 out of every 500 people has an inherited disorder called familial hypercholesterolemia, which can cause extremely high cholesterol levels (above 300 milligrams per deciliter). People with this disorder can develop nodules filled with cholesterol (xanthomas) over various tendons, especially the Achilles tendons of the lower leg. Cholesterol deposits also can occur on the eyelids, where they are called xanthelasmas.
Your doctor will ask if anyone in your family has had coronary artery disease, high cholesterol or diabetes. The doctor will ask about your diet and if you have ever smoked. He or she will check your blood pressure and look for xanthomas and xanthelasmas. Your doctor can confirm a diagnosis of high cholesterol with a simple blood test.
If your cholesterol level is high, you will need to make a long-term effort to bring it down. You can significantly lower your cholesterol levels by sticking with a diet that is low in saturated fats, high in fruits and vegetables, and by substituting "good" fats for "bad" fats. The dietary changes need to be permanent to maintain lower cholesterol levels. Daily exercise also is important. Exercise can raise HDL (good) cholesterol and lower total cholesterol.
You may help to prevent high cholesterol by staying on a healthy diet and exercising daily. Avoid high-fat foods (eggs, fatty red meats, palm or coconut oil, dairy products made with whole milk). Instead eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, whole-grain breads and cereals, and low-fat dairy products.
The initial treatment of high cholesterol should always be lifestyle changes. This means altering your diet and getting more exercise. Some people respond dramatically to dietary changes.
There is no consensus on the best diet. The most effective diet to lower total and LDL cholesterol is a vegetarian diet. However, this is not an easy diet to follow.
Many people prefer a "Mediterranean style" diet. There is no strict definition for what should be included in this type of diet. In general, this means:
The National Cholesterol Education Program recommends the following diet:
Avoid all trans fats.
To maintain a desirable weight, you should take in only as many calories as you burn each day. If you need to lose weight, you need to take in fewer calories than you burn.
People who aren't sure how to follow such a diet may find it useful to work with a health care professional such as a dietitian, nutritionist, doctor or nurse.
In addition to dietary changes, you should get at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, such as brisk walking, daily.
Whether you need medication to lower your cholesterol level depends on how you respond to diet and your personal risk of heart attack and stroke.
There are five types of cholesterol-lowering medications:
If your cholesterol is not controlled with diet and other lifestyle changes, your doctor may recommend that you take one or more of these medications. Each type of medication works differently and has different types of side effects.
In addition to dietary changes or medication, people with high cholesterol should try to control their other risk factors for coronary artery disease. This means keeping blood pressure at normal levels, not smoking, controlling your blood sugar, maintaining or losing weight and following a regular exercise schedule.
Because it is possible to have high cholesterol for many years without symptoms, it is important to have your blood cholesterol level checked periodically. Current guidelines recommend that adults older than 20 undergo a full fasting lipid profile once every five years. This test measures LDL and HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels. If the numbers are outside the desirable range, your doctor may suggest that you change your diet and monitor your cholesterol more frequently.
The effectiveness of following a healthy diet and using medications to lower cholesterol varies from person to person. On average, diet and exercise can lower LDL cholesterol by about 10%. Medications can lower LDL cholesterol by another 20% to more than 50%.

Dear PUSD board members:
I attended the Feb. 22 board meeting, but I had to leave early. I am thankful that I left. It is unreasonable to have a board agenda that "saves" the major issue until the end of the night. It was my understanding that the layoff vote was not announced until almost 11 p.m.
The paper ran an editorial that discussed the poorly planned agendas and the fact that attendees are held hostage waiting for news of important items. Clearly, the paper's message was ignored.
At the previous board meeting the personnel vote regarding layoffs was carried over to the special meeting scheduled for Feb. 22. Many people attended these meetings for that particular item. I know that you do not set the agenda, but I wish that you would discuss the placement of items of public interest on future agendas.

An epic search for the Amethyst heptagon leads a party of fresh graduates through the northern reaches of Ustalav. Based in Karcau, the party visits places like the dark Castle Jarovich or the dangerous alleys of Carrion Hill.
The fourth of Calistril 4708 was a cold and crisp morning. Even the sun seemed to be reluctant to come out and ground fog swept through the cobblestoned streets of Karcau.
Nevertheless, the city was in a good mood. The onion-domes of the four major academies of the city were festively decorated and alot of house owners followed this example with great joy and enthusiasm. That at this special morning a flock of ravens circled around the spires of the academies, was regarded as a good omen (while few doubted the beasts were magically attracted).
The alumni ceremony was one of the major, maybe even the most important, highlights of the year for the inhabitants of the city. Visitors and Professors from all of Ustalav attended the celebrations always trying to persuade promising students to join the University of Lepidstadt or the Arcanas of Caliphas or just to become the new swordmaster or bodyguard of an important noble.
It was about noon, when the student's gathered on the great square in front of Pettoria Academy. The ceremony began with a sermon of the great history of the four academies, accentuating their good cooperation (and concealing that alone in this year three students had died in cross-academy duels) and the fair sportsmanship within the students.
After all academy masters held speaches (highlighting the enormous quality of their students) and chosen students gave performances of their trades, the festivities began. Whole Karcau drowned in a swirl of Varisian dancing performances, wine, ale, roasts of all kinds, the work of illusionists, various juggler and acrobat performances etc.
Just tell me, what you are intending to do during the festivities. Those of you, who are from the same academy, cann assume that they know each other.
Pettoria: Adelain, Rakston, Garabott
Kiavelak: Asuna
Vizyalesh: Rautha
Noriski: Victoria, Dominic
Rydlon is staying in the middle of the crowed, telling a story of vampire child...searching for red mother milk...
"Hmhm...that is the end of the story, but as we can learn never trust a vampire child...Aha and I assume you" pointing at somebody "and you" pointing to an other one "have graduated as well...Congratulation to all of us."
"Anybody interested in Beer and having a little bit fun? Does anybody needs an escort?"
Diplomacy 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (17) + 3 = 20
Your audience claps joyful, being entertained by that gruesome story, nevertheless, you notice that your story about vampires, even though babies, has hit a soft spot and some people were rather concerned than amused.
Let's wait if one of your fellow students is interested in joining you for an ale.
After people start dispersing after the story, Asuna calls out, "I'll take you up on a drink. It's been quite the day."
As they, and any others who join them, walk toward a nearby alehouse, Asuna would turn to his companion and ask, neutrally, "Do you really believe that vampire children cannot be trusted?"
"Pointless. Useless. Lifeless. Idiots." Kirk muttered to himself under his breath, pushing his way through the crowds, ignoring any congratulations from someone who might recognize him. He knew this was supposed to be 'his day,' but he was just glad it was over and he could get out into this crazy world around him.
Spotting a tavern that looked like a welcome relief from the crowded and bustling streets, he beelined for the door, and only noticed two classmates heading the same direction until it was too late. They practically bumped into each other at the door.
Kirk gave a curt nod of his head.
A pale man is a dark leather frock sits near Rydlon's crowd. His deeply sunken eyes are trained on the pages of a thick tome, and his pastey flesh leaves little doubt concerning his social habits. He squints his eys tightly and with one hand massages his temple, remarking on the numerous distractions with a heavy sigh. He shuts the book and buckles it to a heavy leather strap on his belt, then leans forward and addresses Asuna.
"A wise man does not trust the whimsy of any child. Children can always be counted upon to be children, and the fewer people indulge their idleness, the quicker the will learn to grow up."
An elegant, angelic looking, immaculately coiffured woman sits next to the pale man, clearly restless. On closer inspection, one would notice the small elegant horns cleverly worked into her tiara and exotic yellow irises, suggesting a far from angelic heritage...
"Oh Dominic, you are so impossibly boring some days, I really despair about whether you will ever possibly be fun"
The lady adjusts her sleeve delicately, as she does, a small serpents head poking out is rather evident.
Spying the crowd heading for the Inn, she smiles, and gently kicks Dominic in the shin.
"Should I remind you, that you should be a gentleman and escort me to the tavern and ensure I am suitably entertained?"
The obvious level expectation is breathtaking.
Dominic offers a heavy sigh and brings himself to a standing position. Brushing a few strands of unruly hair back into place, he aims a cold stare at Victoria. "Such customs are the vestigial growths of high society, my dear. I'll not deny the uses of basic courtesy, but much of the decorum you insist on sticking to has little actual practicality. I am a scholar, not a courtier. Still, if you desire the company of a friend..." He takes a shallow bow and offers his arm to Victoria.
As it looks like you all got a knack for taverns. Maybe the remaining two can find their way there also
The tavern - Snickering Madman - you all entered, is nearly bursting at its seams. People are waiting at the open door for a chance to slip in and a group of Varisian-looking teenagers press their faces to the yellow stained glass windows trying to get an impression of the action inside.
Once you found a way into the taproom the noise is deafening, but as you enter most of the talks end abruptly. A strange moment of silence goes by and then the crowd roars out in congratulations and toasts on you.
The innkeeper organizes a table impromptu and shooes away a group of drunkards that (astoundingly) joyful staggers off to sit on the stairs.
Once he has also placed enough stairs around the table he twirls his mustache into position and asks for your oders.
If the suggestion is made, adventurers will always flock to get drunk.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (13) + 4 = 17
Asuna takes a seat, turning the chair sideways to accommodate his tail. Looking around at the unintentional grouping, Asuna turns to the innkeeper. "Seems we could do with a round, my friend. What might you have on tap to ward off the chill?"
"Oh Dominic, my dear dreary Nicky, how can a man as smart as you have it so desperately wrong? The decorum I so vehemently cling to is simply a set of rules by which most civilised people try to live by...and the one who best masters the rules, wins the game"
There is a brief moment as her fascade slips, Victoria looks Dominic dead in the eye, the ditzy airheaded act disappearing as if by magic, the eyes speak of deep calculation and almost inhuman motivation. Then, as she turns away, she presents herself back to the world as the slightly vacuuous heiress people believe her to be.
"Oh how fun "The Snickering Madman", Nicky, do you see? Everybody who is anybody is here, perhaps we might find you a lady friend to lift you from your normal bookish malaise!"
'Countess' half turns to the barman with an elegant non-chalance...
"Darling Nicky will be provisioned with a fine ale, or perhaps a carafe of red, no...perhaps both. And what have you to impress a lady? Never mind, just bring it."
Turning back to her fellow graduates, she beams a warm welcome...
Naga always had a dislike for Dominic, teasing him whenever she/he? could. Nevertheless the familiar is very active scanning the other graduates around the table?
"Strange man alwaysss smellsss like the whole ssspell component ssstorage room. But what about the other hellssspawn, mistresss?"
Yess missstresss, that'sss why I called him the taboo word. Naga chuckles telepathically.
Anywaysss, he doesss not sseem to be interessting enough for uss.
Btw I came to the conclusion that since a witches familiar teaches and stores spells (even though only as some kind of vessel) should haven an INT of 10).
Kirk, feeling cornered, decides to join his ex-classmates for at least a drink or two before making up an excuse and slipping away.
Sense Motive: 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (7) + 5 = 12
The innkeeper, obviously in a state of near felicity, smoothes his apron and pulls out a leatherbound menu with gilded letters.
Dear guests of honour, never before had my tavern such prominent visitors, it'd be a privilege for me to feast you with the best my kitchen has to offer. It also contains some exotic specialties I'm very fond of. Oh and it's all on the house
Smiling proudly he hands over the (special edition) menu.
Caydenbrew Absalom Import 8 cp/Tankard Coffee 2 cp/Cug Corentyn Wine 22gp/Bottle Janderhoff Stout 9 cp/Mug Prophyrian Shores Grog 4 cp/Mug Karcau Knight's Ale 7 cp/Mug Kahve rare Brand 5 cp/Cup Linnorm Mead 1 sp/Mug Mwangi Coffee 5 cp/Cup Oldlaw Whiskey 26 gp/Bottle Rumboozle 2 sp/Glass "Qin" Tea 3 cp/Glass
Stew of the Day 1 sp Roast of the Day 3 sp Salmon Steak 2 sp Lobster 4 sp Mixture of seasonal Vegetables 1 sp Spicey Fire Pelt Paws 1 gp Smoked Trout 2 sp Potatoe pot-pourri 8 cp Soup of the Day 7 cp Giant Gecko Ragout 7 sp Smashed Donkey Rat 1 sp Boiled Cinder Snake 6 sp Roc Egg 5 gp
Noting the odd phrasing used by the innkeeper, Asuna scans the menu. "I suppose I'll have the mead and an order of the Ragout. Surely you exaggerate when you say you haven't had such prominent visitors before. The ceremony happens every year, and you do seem to be situated very close to the square."
For a second he seems to blush, then he regains his confidence calls your order out to a barmaid and tells you:
One might expect that m'lord, but truth be told I bought this inn in Arodus last year, so this is my first ceremony of that kind and I have to admit that I'm a little bit overwhelmed of the festivities.
"Ah. That makes sense. Well, now that the ceremony is over, things are likely to get busier in here for the rest of the evening, and likely well into tomorrow morning," Asuna says with a smile.
A few brisk strides see Dominic at the bar. He practically snarls as the ale that's presented to him and gestures to the bag of Mwangi coffee. "Enjoy the toil while it lasts, my good barman. In a week the students will be between semesters, and after that you've three months of raucous fraternities to cater to." He offers a non-commital thanks for the coffee and takes his cup to an empty table where he produces a small vial of orange liquid from his coat. His eyes take on a glazed look as he rolls the concotion between his fingers for a moment, then he eagerly unstoppers it and adds the contents to his coffee, resulting in a loud hiss and sickly spiral of green smoke.
Some of the drunkards surrounding Dominic exchange scared glances and as a precaution move some feet away. Just one very courageous (or extremely drunk - hard to tell) boozer sits down at Dominics table.
Woohoo mate! Tha' is un nicey drink ye 'ave there...wunna share?
Then his head drops on the table, but before it hits the table board he is already snoring loudly.
Observing the strange situation, the innkeeper raises a nearby tankard and shouts: Three cheers to our graduates, the best of whole Ustalav!
The crowd roars in unison and soon the whole lot is singing an old but very popular tune, "Karcau beauty on the lake".
Rydlon starts singing with the Crowd.
"Heh Barkeeper, for me one Cayden Brew; I know it is the best. "
Rydlon turns to the Group
"Well mates; well done!....do not know ya plans for tonight, but I will do some"
Rydlon continues singing with the people celebrating the graduates.
Dominic raises his cup and takes a hearty swallow, and as the spiked coffee hits his system, he gives the whooping half-cough half-laugh of an unseasoned drinker trying strong whiskey for the time. He wipes the excess from the corners of his mouth as the veins in his neck pulse slightly and take on a very faint glow before returning to their usual state.
Turning to 'Countess' Victoria, "Seems your friend isn't overly happy after the ceremony. Did something happen to him?"
Somehow Rydlon dances, by coincidence, with the beer to a former mate of his academy, having a smile on his face.
"He man, nice to see ya. The Ceremony? Yes, this was the last day and it was a good one. This is a target rich enviroment."
Rydlon raised his Tankard and the chummily average guy clinked with the glasses.
"We will gona have a good time! .... I guess it is my turn, isn't it? 1 Gold Coin? Come on that is a bet, a bet on the premises!"
The colleague reminded Rydlon to go on.
"I do not know... just, just doesn't seem fair - for you I mean. But...."
The female outshining all others in the room is surely Victoria.
Kirk scans the menu for some time, pondering the choices. Let's see just how much weight my new "presitigious" status actually has he thinks to himself.
Eventually he glances over to the beaming bartender and says "I'll have the lobster, and since I assume that your offer extends to the choice of drinks as well I'll take the Outlaw Whiskey. A bottle would be fine." He pauses for a moment, then continues rather maliciously, "I feel if you truly wanted to impress upon us the generosity, and not to mention the quality, of this establishment, that's the least you could do. Of course, that's only what I would expect."
Intimidate: 1d20 + 7 ⇒ (20) + 7 = 27
A shadow of fear hushes over the innkeeper's face, but he soon hides it under a broad smile.
Avernus Wellbottom always keeps his promises. You deserve the best and so you will get the best!
He pulls out a rag and sweeps some sweat from his forehead, while he passes your order on to one of the barmaids.
Kirk smiles genuinely at Mr. Wellbottom. "I knew you wouldn't let me down.
He settles back into his chair, infinitely more comfortable than before. Perhaps he would stick around here for a little while, if things kept looking up like this. With a fine bottle of whiskey coming his way, and an order of lobster to boot, there would be little need to wander the city at this point. He made a mental note to himself not to drink it all tonight, or let his companions do likewise. Things are likely to be a little rough in the coming days, and the taste of fine alcohol will definitely be a welcome treat. He glances around to see if any of the other graduates noticed his interaction with the bartender.
"Oh Nicky, not the coffee again, are you planning another evening buried in your books and studies again? Oh I do admire your stoicism and committment in being able to sit there ad read through them, I find it such a burdensome chore"
The Countess turns to Asuna, deftly splaying a courtiers fan to cover her lower face so she can regard him with modesty, before quickly whipping it away and beaming a polite smile...
"It has been a long day, and Dominic is no doubt overcome by the magnitude of it all, so much study over so long, and with such admirable dedication it would be no wonder if he felt some fatigue"
There is a brief pause as Victoria takes in the song being sung by the motley bar crowd...
"Oh how sweet, a serenade, Nicky do you hear? They sing of Karcau on Lake Prophyria, of course too cold and swampy for me there, but I hear they have a lovely opera"
Victoria stands regally near her table, to better listen to the chorus; her fan flapping gently like the wings of a butterfly at rest on a flower, gently poised, and with a benign smile.
He glances around to see if any of the other graduates noticed his interaction with the bartender.
1d20 + 6 ⇒ (3) + 6 = 9
Though she stands no more than a yard away, Victoria was too clearly distracted by being the center of the universe to notice the subtle scenario that played out around her.
Dominic takes another sip of the coffee, though this time it's apparent effects are less marked. He gives a heavy sigh and places the steaming cup down on the table, a small chuckle breaking through his stoic demeanor. "You know very well, Victoria, that have stronger concoctions to stave off the effects of sleep. I do seem to have developed a fondness for the stuff, though." He looks out over the lake, taking on a more relaxed posture as his chemicals take effect. "No. No rigors this evening. I knew halfway through my second year that a certification and qualification are two very different things - but just because I the cause of the celebration holds little meaning to me, it doesn't mean I can't take advantage of the leisures they bring. Tonight is as good as any to relax a bit."
Perception: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Leaning toward the tall, slender Half-Orc, Asuna murmurs below earshot of the innkeeper, "You'll leave the poor man with nothing left to sell, and frighten him out of his skin to boot. No need to scare the man. He would have given you the bottle without it."
Turning back to the 'Countess,' Asuna asks, "Pray tell, which Academy are you and Dominic from, milady?"
"We have recently been enduring our indentured servitude under the roof of Noriski; dry on its own merit, but always a hotbed of intrigue and the odd fraternity scandal"
"Oh and I forget my manners, I am Victoria, and this is my dear friend Dominic; oh how we have endured together. I would have gone quite spare if it were not for his level headed interventions"
The lace fan she holds has moved to a more curious and inquisitive gesture.
Kirk leans toward the Tiefling and grumbles in the same quiet manner, "Forgive me, but I can't understand why anyone would give away such fine delicacies for simply doing something as pathetically useless as graduating from one of these prestigious academies. I didn't expect it to work, and I'm not convinced he would have gifted a 26 goldpiece bottle without the extra motivation. That's probably how much money this place makes on an average night. Then again, tonight is going to be far from an average night: he can spare it.
He leans back in his chair, and continues to observe the scene around him while waiting for his food and drink.
Dominic turns and gives a nod of acknowledgment to Asuna and Kirk. "What of yourselves?" His eyes glint briefly to the horns sprouting from Asuna's brow and he displays a slight grin, but makes no mention of his exotic appearance. "You wear the raiment of a priest, if I'm not mistaken, though I confess that religious studies are not my forte. Which of these academies gives spawn to a specimen such as yourself?"
Taken aback momentarily by being suddenly thrust into the conversation, Kirk hesitates a moment, glancing to the Tiefling with whom he spoke briefly, as if seeking some form of social advice. However, he quickly turns back to Dominic and responds, "I studied in the Pettoria Academy: Combat Basics, Humanoid Anatomy, and Tactical Subtlety."
"Tactical subtlety? Quiet the euphemism, wouldn't you say, Victoria? Appearances aside, you might find a kindred spirit in this one."
With only the tiniest twitch at the corner of one eye at the use of the word "spawn," Asuna returns, "Asuna, of Kiavelak Academy: religious studies, with emphases on the Dawnflower, Redemption, and the scimitar."
"Well, it would seem that some studies are not exclusive to a single academy. I know a bit about anatomy myself, as well as chemistry, herbalism, and magical theory - though I leave the actual application of such thaumaturgy to my friend here." He casually waves towards Victoria.
"Oh Nicky, 'tactical subtlety', moi? you are such a scream! Your comic innuendo's are always delivered with such precision timing, it's truly a marvel"
"Aye, but the anatomy I was taught only instructed on the best places to stick a knife, if you catch my meaning. And our focus in Tactical Subtelty was more on the subtelty than tactics. If we wanted to pass our exams, we had to steal the answers from the professor in their sleep. That was the exam. Kirk shifts in his seat, repositioning himself to face the talkative pair and more-easily continue the conversation. Needless to say, you must know where the majority of my talents lie.
Dominic nods and gives Kirk a sly grin. "Surely it lies in curt summations and vivid innuendos."
"What was your area of study, Miss Victoria?"
"Monotony and Drudgery were the areas they most commonly lectured on, interspersed with long periods of studying dusty old tomes and books almost as ancient as the professors themselves. In some fairness though, I believe they were trying to give me some semblance of tutelage into the Arcane arts, of which I found the theory so bone crushingly dull but the application...enlightening"
A cold cackle escapes Dominic's throat. "My dear Victoria, I think that nothing exemplifies that which is not enlightened so much as your mercurial and dismissive approach to academia. A reclusive scholar you are not, but those applications you are so fond of would doubtless benefit from a measure more of erudition on your part." He gently taps a tube of glowing green liquid resting on his belt. "Take this compound, for example. Taken apart from the whole, any of its components would be direly enervating - if not fatal - to the demihuman body. But the delicate balance achieved by their careful combination?" A smile that is not entirely pleasant creeps across his face. "Well, the result can bestow marvelous perks."
"Oh Nicky I know you are right, however I will have ample time in my dowdy matron years when married off to some absent husband in which to occupy my time with idle curiosities and academic leanings, right now I am young and vibrant, and to be locked in a room buried under a pile of books is just such an...impost"
"I appreciate their great efforts to shape my mind into that of a scholar, but like a stubborn hedge resisting ministrations of determined topiary, I find the results somewhat average. I'm so fortunate that the dusty old professors took such a lenient view with my productions; I'd like to think I equally brightend their dreary days just by my arriving each morning"
"But of course. The aesthetics of your form and the honeyed venom dripping from your tongue are certain to improve any experience."
"There you go again! a riot! To be flattered or insulted, how to tell? Oh Nicky you are a quick student of Diplomacy indeed!"
Covering her face once again with her fan, only her eyes gaze out, clearly laughing... a small dainty snicker emanates from behind the lace.
"I couldn't agree with you more, Victoria, about the absolute pointlessness of these schools. I've learned nothing that I couldn't have taught myself, and my most precious talents," he pauses a moment, then continues, "I did teach myself. I'll look back on my days in the Academy as days of a pampered lifestyle, of ignorance waiting to be shattered: I'll look back with disappointment."

JVC To Introduce Dual DVD/Blu Ray Disc
We could go two ways with this one. Hopefully manufacturers will make things easier on the consumer by including both DVD and HDTV content on one of these dual-layered discs. But they might also ignore the technology and still make you purchase both formats, in a scheme that we can also foresee. The Register article appears to focus on the former of the two scenarios, describing how the discs can help smoothen the transition to the new HDTV standard, by assuring customers that they have both versions of a movie (Blu Ray and DVD) on one disc, for when they decide to upgrade their TV's.

José Daniel Ortega Saavedra (Spanish pronunciation: ; born 11 November 1945) is the current (83rd) President of Nicaragua, having served since 10 January 2007. He previously served as the 79th President, between 10 January 1985, and 25 April 1990. For much of his life, he has been a leader in the Sandinista National Liberation Front (Frente Sandinista de Liberación Nacional or FSLN).
After a popular rebellion resulted in the overthrow and exile of dictator Anastasio Somoza Debayle in 1979, Ortega became a member of the ruling multipartisan Junta of National Reconstruction and was later elected president, serving from 1985 to 1990. His first period in office was characterized by a controversial program of land reform and wealth redistribution, literacy programs, hostility from the United States' Reagan administration, and armed attacks by US-backed Contras.
Ortega was defeated by Violeta Barrios de Chamorro in the 1990 presidential election, but he remained an important figure in Nicaraguan opposition politics. He was an unsuccessful candidate for president in 1996 and 2001 before winning the 2006 presidential election.

A 2-year old child from the Willits area has been hospitalized with a suspected diagnosis of meningococcemia, county Public Health officials reported Wednesday. A confirmed diagnosis is awaiting lab results.
Public Health nurses have contacted everyone thought to be in close contact with the child and provided them with information on symptoms and preventive treatment. An estimated 60 people have received antibiotics, which significantly reduce the risk of becoming ill.
Meningococcemia is caused by a bacteria called Neisseria meningitidis, which frequently lives in a person's upper respiratory tract without causing visible signs of illness.
Meningococcemia is usually spread through close contact. The bacteria are present in the saliva and mucous of the one who has the disease and can be passed on to one who has direct contact with the oral or nasal excretions (coughing, sneezing or kissing) of the infected person. However, the bacteria can only survive very briefly outside of the body so it is unlikely to be passed through the handling of objects.
The incubation period of meningococcemia lasts from two to 10 days. The disease occurs mainly in children, but may also occur among adults, especially those in overcrowded spaces. Cases are usually contained among members of a household who have close contact with each other.
Symptoms include irritability, fever, headache, sensitivity to light, altered consciousness and rash with red or purple spots on the abdomen and extremities.
A pre-exposure bacterial meningitis vaccine is available for those 11 years to 55 years of age. Anyone with questions regarding exposure of meningitis may contact Public Health Services at 472-2600.
Public Health Services praised health partners for their quick response to this case: Howard Memorial Hospital, Baechtel Creek Clinic, Ukiah Valley Rural Health Center, Dr. Harry Matossian's office, and the following pharmacies: Myers, Rite Aid Ukiah, Safeway Ukiah, Walgreens, Safeway Willits, Rite Aid Willits and CVS.
For more information, see the section on meningococcemia on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website http://www.cdc.gov/meningitis/about/faq.html#b

To make a claim for injury, take the following steps within 30 days of the injury occurring:
Step 1:
Obtain a claim form from the CAMS National Office - Phone 1300 883 959. At that time CAMS personnel will ensure that an incident report form has been received relating to the injury.
Step 2:
Complete the Claim Form, ensuring that the Medical Practitioners Statement is completed by a Medical Practitioner (a doctor rather than a physiotherapist or chiropractor). Ensure all questions are answered, and if claiming loss of income benefits ensure that proof of average weekly earnings is provided e.g. pay slips/pay summary for the past 12 months. If self employed a Tax Return or letter from your accountant is required outlining your average pre-injury base
earnings from the business during the past 12 months.

Return the completed claim form to:
OAMPS Insurance Brokers Limited
Sports Claims Department
PO Box 852, East Melbourne, VIC 8002.
All medical expenses tax invoices, receipts and private health insurance rebate statements should be sent in with the claim form. The CAMS specialist claims officer can be contacted on 03 9412 1555 or firstname.lastname@example.com. An "Acknowledgement of Claim" notice advising the claim number will be forwarded direct to the claimant within 3 working days of receipt by the OAMPS office. Any incomplete details or additional requirements will also be advised at this time.
Step 4:
The claims officer will liaise with you on the progress and completion of your claim.
- With ongoing loss of income it is necessary to provide medical certificates at least every 4 weeks
- Itemised non Medicare medical expenses receipts for reimbursement should be sent to OAMPS periodically, ensuring that the claimant's name and claim number is clearly identifiable.

Piggyback Airplanes
Ten of aviation's most famous hitch-hikers.
- By Lynn Keillor
- Air & Space magazine, July 2012
San Diego Aerospace Museum
Hitchhikers: Tupolev I-4, Polikarpov I-16
Motherships: Tupolev TB-1, TB-3
Soviet Union, 1930s
By the 1930s, the Soviets were coming around to the idea of using parasites for combat. Zveno ("Link") was an experimental program that combined bombers with air-launched fighters to increase range and payloads.
The I-4 fighter was the first little airplane to emerge from A.N. Tupolev's aeronautical design company, known for its fleet of plus-size types. The I-4 didn't get attention for its size, though; the aircraft was the Soviet Union's first all-metal fighter.
Two slightly modified I-4s, outfitted with three connector clips and a release mechanism, were rolled up wooden ramps to the wings of a Tupolev TB-1 bomber. On Zveno-1's maiden flight, the two I-4s launched, but not, as planned, simultaneously. The error proved the TB-1 would remain stable in the air, even with a weight imbalance. The project was considered a success, and though the I-4 remained in service until 1933, it did not fly as a parasite in combat.
That duty was given to the most successful experiment, the Zveno-SPB (Russian acronym for "composite dive bomber"). After it saw combat, the small, beefy Polikarpov I-16 earned Soviet aircraft designers a reputation for ingenuity, though its nickname was less than dignified: "donkey"—a play on the Russian pronunciation of "I-16."
The barrel-chested donkey was the Soviets' first cantilever-wing monoplane fighter, and the first to have retractable landing gear. Its design showed creativity in a time when much of Soviet technology involved copycat production.
The I-16 could carry two bombs while attached underwing to a Tupolev TB-3, a more powerful bomber than its TB-1 predecessor. The TB-3's four engines and each I-16 single engine worked together, and the I-16s drew fuel from the TB-3 while connected.
The Zveno-SPB was used in combat between 1936 and 1941 and flew several successful missions against German forces in Romania's Black Sea ports. In 29 missions, only three I-16s were lost.

In 1957 I was the co-pilot on a SA-16A (Grumman Albatross)
Air Rescue Service amphib for a trans-Atlantic crossing, with a stop half-way across in the Azores. We were ferrying the aircraft from Wheelus AFB, Tripoli,back to the Grumman factory where the A/C would be overhauled and upgraded to a B model. If my memory is correct, the leg from the Azores to Argentia, NewFoundland took about 14 hours. That airplane could carry a lot of gas! That was the longest flight I can recall, with the possible exception of a LHR-LAX or a JFK-TelAviv nonstop when I was a TWA 747 Captain.

I've read in some sources about an alleged fifth operational D-21 flight? Is there any truth to this? If so, what happened to it?
Posted by Gray Stanback on May 23,2012 | 06:41 PM
In the late 1950's I was in SAC 92nd bomb wing. On our base we had a reconnaissance squadron flying B-36R's. The B-36 was towed over a pit in the pit was an F-84R. The F-84 was attached to the bomber and raised up partially into the special bomb-bay. The F-84 was launched and retrieved in flight on the trapeze. The F-84 could be refueled and the film canisters changed in flight. There was even a film processing lab in the rear of the B-36.
We later had U-2's and the need for the tandem B-36 and F-84 was no longer needed.
Posted by JIm Fling on May 24,2012 | 05:14 PM
A specialized aircraft was designed and built to be uniquely carried by the B-36 internally, supposedly for defensive purposes. My recollection was it was built by McDonnell and designated XF-85.

In the summer of 1953 following my Midshipman Cruise to Rio, I worked as Assistant PR Director of the first Dayton Air Show. When the Show began, I squired around Howard Sochurek and Marshal Lumsden of Life Magazine. I was able to get the three of us on board a modified B-36 that had its own fighter escort (F-84) join up at 10,000 feet, hook it to its boom and pull the fighter into the bomb bay. Howard and I took many pictures of the event from both the bomb bay and the blisters in the aft fuselage. The Air Force insisted on processing the film and the pictures never appeared in Life as the Air Force claimed that they showed too much secret equipment.

There was also the German Mistel piggyback project that saw limited operatons late in WWII.
In a sense, the X-1, X-2, X-15 and some other experimental aircraft followed the piggyback concept. Only the X-1 was capable of taking off from the ground (and it did it only once) so they needed to be carried to altitude by a bomber.

I was born in Dundee, and remember my Dad telling me how he had seen Mercury and Maia on the Tay. He could only have been 11 at the time, but was still excited at the memory. I was delighted to find a compilation of Newsreels on You Tube showing the aircraft, including them taking off from Dundee for the flight to South Africa - wonder where Dad was watching them from, and if he's in the background somewhere.
Link to the newsreels:

Well, I'm not sure if this could be a piggyback "airplane", but the shuttle Enterprise was piggybacked to a 747 and a least one time separated in flight to test the feasibility of the landing procedure of the space shuttle.

Today is the last day of the year — heck, the last day of the decade – and everyone appears to be taking a look back before jumping into 2010.
Now, I'm not one for nostalgia. I enjoy throwing things out more than most people. But there is much to be learned from the past, so let's review the few brief months of The Egg's existence and see what we can see in its stickiness…
- Readership has increased steadily since the Egg's launch in August, but always takes a bit of a dip over the weekend or a holiday. I am so pleased to know that the Egg is a workday distraction!
- You prefer the shallow to the deep — when I go deep, you go away. (No worries there…I am so rarely deep.)
- The topic that is consistently popular? Posts about my dog Rory. That is not surprising at all. He's a people magnet…and apparently a traffic magnet as well.
- The most commented on blogs of the year? Fantasy leagues and little girls' obsession with the color pink. It is reassuring to be deemed controversial by both sexes.
- The blogs that nobody wanted to read? Those related to the movie "Twilight"…and they meant the so much to me. (I'm going to have to work on bringing you guys over to the dark side.)
- The most requested blog topic? Movie reviews! Thank you — I'm at the theater pretty much every week and promise to post my sticky point of view here.
A friend tweeted the other day that blogs were "so 1999." Well, I have enjoyed being 10 years behind the times with all of you.
Let's keep eggin' each other on in 2010!

Very tasty & appealing to all!
I ordered Yog for our office event, partly because on offer at the time. It went down really well for all. The longer the pots were out, you got a brilliant scoop and the scooping became much easier, as hard to start as is frozen! Really nice refreshing taste, would def buy again as was very popular with a mixed bunch of people.

Very tasty, great recommendation
I was recommended to try passion fruit Yog and loved the refreshing natural taste. It actually tastes like a real yogurt and the ingredients are all natural which is a big tick in my book.

Five-Story Sculpture In A Custard Factory
The Custard Factory is a buzzing quarter in Birmingham which is home to a hive of young creative companies, galleries, and fine artists. A new five-story creation called the Zellig Sculpture, which contains three glass bridges and 2000 meters of steel tubing, has been created inside the factory by Nottingham based design firm Philip Watts. The sculpture consists of long white tubes which intersect as they reach from wall to wall in the atrium of the building. The glass bridges run along the same paths as the tubes while creating an awesome moment where visitors can intertwine themselves within the sculpture, and experience it first hand!
