Sporadic rainstorms during harvest, a cool summer and a sudden frost in April are among the complications that producers in Spain faced during the 2002 vintage. Some, who anticipated the storms, began harvesting as early as the first week of September, while others, hoping for more sunshine to bring their grapes to full maturity, started as late as last week -- or are still waiting.
"The year 2000 is truly singular and different when compared to past years," said vintner Alvaro Palacios, whose wines include Finca Dofí and L'Ermita and who has vineyards in the Bierzo, Priorat and Rioja appellations. "The biggest difference is due to the annual average temperature -- the lowest experienced in the last 30 years in Spain -- along with a short and cool summer."
The lower-than-usual temperatures slowed the growth of the vines, leading to lower yields, according to Palacios. Some of his vineyards only produced one-third of their average crop.
On the bright side, Palacios said, the lower yields helped concentrate the acidity and sugar in the grapes, and he hopes he "will still be able to offer great wines." He added that harvesting would begin this week in some of his higher-altitude vineyards, so it is still too early for him to make an overall prediction on the quality of the 2002 wines.
In Rioja, Bodegas Marqués de Riscal, which began harvesting last week, also reported lower yields. A drought in March, followed by a sudden frost on April 5, reduced the winery's crop by about 15 percent from 2001 levels.
"The quality of the [crop] at the moment is good, however," said Francisco Hurtado de Amézaga, a winemaker at Riscal. "The maturation during the month of September has taken a constant and progressive rate, facilitated to a great extent by good temperatures. If [this] continues within normal parameters, we expect an excellent harvest."
In Navarra, Concepción Vecino Soto, winemaker for Bodegas Nekeas, was also optimistic about the winery's Tempranillo, Garnacha, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Garnacha and Merlot. "There have been local storms, without great consequence for the grapes," she said. "The quality of the harvest at the moment is exceptional although it is still too soon, as things can still happen."
However, some producers were not so lucky. Peter Sisseck reported that this year he will not be making his tiny-production Dominio de Pingus, which comes from a few acres of very old vines in the Ribera del Duero. He explained that the weather was poor -- no rain in the winter, frost in early May and a cold and overcast summer. That was capped off by serious frost damage in the La Horra area of Ribera, where the Pingus vineyards are located, shortly before harvest, before the grapes were fully mature.
"The grapes were harvested with 13.4 potential alcohol -- not enough for Pingus -- and not very ripe tannins. They are being used for a very rich Flor de Pingus," said Sisseck. In addition to the less-expensive Flor label, he may possibly make a third label.
Other parts of Ribera were not affected by the frost, Sisseck noted, and were still harvesting, though inbetween rains. Quality is good, but not great.

Hooked up to Ridgid Vacuum, noisy combination, but too much fine dust without it. First item sent to me didn't work (recon) second has been great (recon). Ridgid Quality has dropped off overall, but not with this tool.Variable speed is much better than my last one.

Comments about 3 Amp 120V 5-in Random Orbit Sander:
I've owned this same model before and it is very reliable. The one that I received appears to have a replacement on/off switch that is difficult to access. It is not the original switch. Everything else about this item is top notch and I've given the original unit a lot of hard work.

Comments about 3 Amp 120V 5-in Random Orbit Sander:
Unlike some of the other reviewers mine came with a new hook & loop pad and a new cord that was not at all stingy. The only complaint is that I found it difficult to turn off with one hand.

Comments about 3 Amp 120V 5-in Random Orbit Sander:
I love this sander and this would have been my third. (I like to keep different grits ready to go) however, I ordered a reconditioned one this time. Big mistake. Arrived clean and neatly packed, but when I went to use it I realized that the power cord was not original and replaced with a very cheap one. also the hook and loop pad was so worn it wouldn't hold a sanding disk. Live and learn. From now on I stick to new only.

Employers want MBA grads
Employers want managers they can trust to make informed decisions about their department, taking into consideration how these decisions will impact all other areas of the company.
Dependability and leadership
The executive management team is busy tackling inter-departmental and big picture issues, and they need to know that department heads are able to act in the best interest of the organization and lead their department effectively–without being closely supervised. Therefore, employers seek managers who are:
- strong leaders
- critical thinkers
- problem solvers
- and knowledgeable in their sector (such as healthcare, IT, marketing, human resources or accounting).
Executives also want managers who are able to see the organization as a whole, and how their department works with all others to provide a valuable product or service to consumers.
Practical knowledge
Work experience is certainly valued by employers; it reflects that the manager has practical knowledge of the field. Industry credentials (when available) validate the manager's knowledge, and professional organization membership demonstrates a commitment to the industry and awareness of current trends.
A formal education is what binds the manager's experience and professional affiliations together. It is through earning a post-graduate degree that a professional achieves the level of critical thinking required to combine their academic knowledge, past experience and industry networks/resources in order to apply them to the situation at hand.
Once this critical-thinking process and application takes place, an MBA degree program specifically teaches the professional how the solution to one situation will affect the other operations of the business. With the addition of a management specialty, the employer recognizes the professional is not only an expert in the topic, but also has the propensity to lead, manage and motivate other employees in the organization. This additional skill set is highly desirable because it allows executives to delegate greater responsibility to that individual, further allowing the executive to focus on the most imperative and broad-spectrum concerns.

Statistics: Web Grows, Apache Profits
Web statistics specialist Netcraft measured over 230 million websites in its webserver survey for October 2009.
Apache comprises about 60% of the 4.3 million or so new sites gained since September, corresponding to 2.6 million sites, according to Netcraft. A large part (748 thousand) of these Apache sites is from German hosting company Hetzer Online, which offers dynamic DNS services allowing customers to create hostnames such as yourname.dyns.cx.
The marked growth was nevertheless offset by more than half a million Apache websites lost in the U.S. Netcraft attributes the loss primarily to huge numbers of expired hostnames on The Planet. The self-described "Global IT Hosting Leader" allegedly dropped 1.4 million hostnames in October alone.
Microsoft's webserver lost a fraction of share (-0.37%) in October. However, apart from Apache, Nginx grew a fraction (+0.39%), translating into a gain for the server developed by Russian Igor Sysoev by 1.1 million websites in October to a total of 13.8 million. Netcraft considers China Telecom largely responsible for Nginx's success, especially the over 400 thousand new blogging sites at 163.com.

Maybe have a dropdown list of the people who watch you and those you watch. For those who aren't in those lists add a text field you can just type their name in.
Say that I owe someone art:
I would have 2 options on where to add their name: whether it's a wip or if it's finished.
Maybe for those who collect money upfront could have a 3rd option of selecting if that person paid 50%

I am disturbed that one very narrowly focused and extremely political brand of Christianity being called the 'religious voice.' There are wide communities of spiritual people who believe that walking this world in love and compassion is about feeding the hungry, providing for the poor or sick, caring for our elders, making sure that the table of love includes and welcomes everyone, educating our children and young people, honoring our beautiful and interconnected planet. These communities believe that women are equal spiritual beings, and that the highest and most honorable work is creating a less violent, more just and kind world. Isn't a life of compassion bigger than a catch phrase or sound byte? Isn't love wider and deeper than fear?" Speaking more to this point, she shares, "If a spiritual leader is teaching hate, it is not spiritual message, it is political message."

To show the way, Corbett obstinately synthesized the disparate disciplines in which he had steeped himself, from analysis of the range-grasses of the Sonoran desert to dissection of the finer points of the medieval Jewish mysticism of Spain. But what else could we have expected from a Quaker cowboy with a masters in philosophy from Harvard? Added to these challenges for the reader was his death in 2001 at age 67 from a rare brain disease that cut short his completion of the book.

By vividly detailing the burgeoning effects of our cumulative presence, Countdown reveals what may be the fastest, most acceptable, practical, and affordable way of returning our planet and our presence on it to balance. Weisman again shows that he is one of the most provocative journalists at work today, with a book whose message is so compelling that it will change how we see our lives and our destiny.
read moreFood for Life draws on L. Shannon Jung's gifts as theologian, ethicist, pastor, and eater extraordinaire. In this deeply thoughtful but very lively book, he encourages us to see our humdrum habits of eating and drinking as a spiritual practice that can renew and transform us and our world. In a fascinating sequence that takes us from the personal to the global, Jung establishes the religious meaning of eating and shows how it dictates a healthy order of eating. He exposes Christians' complicity in the face of widespread eating disorders we experience personally, culturally, and globally, and he argues that these disorders can be reversed through faith, Christian practices, attention to habitual activities like cooking and gardening, the church's ministry, and transforming our cultural policies about food.

Wink, an ardent believer in his right to live the way he wants, is convinced that they reside in "the prettiest place on Earth."

Authors Adam Bucko and Matthew Fox encourage us to use our talents in service of compassion and justice and to move beyond our broken systems–economic, political, educational, and religious–discovering a spirituality that not only helps us to get along, but also encourages us to reevaluate our traditions, transforming them and in the process building a more sacred and just world.

Egon Schiele
Egon Schiele (June 12, 1890 - October 30, 1918), an Austrian painter, son of Marie and Adolph Schiele, was born in Tulln, a small town on the Danube.
When Egon was 15, his father died of syphilis. Egon became a ward of his uncle, who, though distressed by Egon's lack of interest in academic studies, recognised his passion and talent for art. Egon was accepted into the Vienna Academy of Fine Arts at the age of sixteen. Due to various troubles he left the Academy in 1909. By this time, however, Schiele was already participating in public exhibitions and was well acquainted with Gustav Klimt, who was both an inspiration and a friend to him throughout his life.
Once free of the constraints of the anachronistic and conservative Academy, Schiele began to explore, through his work, not only the human form, but also human sexuality. Many found the explicitness of his works shocking at the time.
Wally Neuzil, one of Schiele's models, became his close friend and eventually his lover. Together they moved to Neulengbach, a suburb of Vienna, seeking inspirational surroundings and an inexpensive studio in which to work in. Their unconventional lifestyle, however, was not appreciated by the more conservative townspeople. Schiele was imprisoned for twenty-four days after being falsely accused of seducing a minor. This charge was eventually dropped, but he was found guilty of "disseminating pornographic art" to children. In 1915, Schiele married Edith Harms, a woman who lived with her parents across the street from his studio. This change necessitated the termination of his four year relationship with the ever faithful Wally.
In spite of World War I, Schiele was able to pursue his artistic endeavours. His output was prodigious, his work reflecting the maturity of an artist in full command of his talents. The Vienna Secession Show of 1918, where Schiele exhibited in the main hall and for which he had designed the poster, brought him great success. During the last year of his life he also had successful shows in Zurich, Prague, and Dresden.
At the end of 1918, the influenza epidemic that claimed over twenty million lives worldwide reached Vienna. Edith, who was six months pregnant, succumbed to the disease on October 28, followed three days later by her husband. He was twenty-eight years old. In the few days before the death of his wife Schiele drew a few sketches of her - they were to be his last works.

Robbers pose as Mormon missionaries
Police: Mission was anything but godly
They look like typical Mormon missionaries.
Dressed in black pants, white shirts and black ties and carrying backpacks, the two men walk up a driveway and step though a gate.
But their mission was anything but godly, say Las Vegas police, which released images of the men on Tuesday.
The two are accused of posing as missionaries to rob a family home.
They knocked on the victim's door asking to talk about religion, police say. After about five minutes, they allegedly jumped and punched the homeowner.
"Something went around my neck. A hand went around my mouth, and I screamed for my wife," Terence Delucia told CNN affiliate KTNV.
His screams woke his wife and daughter. Both reportedly hid in their closets.
The two men took about $3,000 the family had been saving for a trip to Disneyland, along with three iPads and an iPod, KTNV reported.
Then they fled.
Police describe the first suspect as a white male, between 22 and 28 years old, 5 feet 7 inches or 5 feet 8 inches tall, and 130 to 145 pounds.
The second suspect is a black male, between 22 and 28 years old, 5 feet 10 inches to 6 feet 1 inch tall, and 190 to 210 pounds.
Kristen Howey, a spokeswoman for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, called the crime "senseless." The robbery took place on the morning of June 27.
"Thankfully, impersonating missionaries is very rare," she said.

Connecticut socialite Lilly Brooks intends to fulfill a childhood dream when she inherits a huge tract of land in Caldwell, Kansas in 1876. She travels there in search of the romance and excitement of the Wild West. She finds her excitement—in the form of angry Indians, smelly dogs, and drunk cowboys who won't take no for an answer. Romance comes in the form of a ruggedly handsome rancher named Paul McGregor who could devastate her chastity with just a glance of his faded blue eyes. Too bad he calls her a whore within the first minute of their acquaintance. Paul has spent three years trying to hold his family and his ranch together after the death of his parents. When he saves a stunning blonde, wearing a scandalous dress that only a soiled dove would own, from a group of drunken ranch hands, he tries to do the right thing and get her work at a good saloon. He soon finds out the woman whose favors he would love to buy is the heiress who owns the land that is the key to his family's financial future, not the prostitute he thought she was. Paul decides to use his best weapon to win Lilly over and get her property: seduction. A wicked cattle baron wants her land as well and will kill anyone who stands between him and what he wants. Paul will have to decide what he wants more, the woman or her land.
He moved against her, a long hard line of muscle that radiated heat even through her robe. She could smell the beer on his breath and the hint of smoke in his hair. "You've been drinking! Mr. McGregor, if you don't leave this room right now, I'll be forced to have the hotel kick you out." She rushed past him and he moved to block the door with his arms crossed over his broad chest. "No." "No? Who do you think you are to tell me no? This is my room!" The metal tub stood between them now. She tried to keep her robe closed as it flapped open over her legs. "No, I'm not leaving." He pursued her, pulling off his leather vest and beginning to unbutton his shirt. She licked her lips in a nervous gesture. "I don't like you anymore, Paul. Can't you understand that?" The lie hung in the air between them and even she didn't believe it. "No." He slowly unbuttoned his shirt, revealing one inch of hard flesh at a time until the shirt hung fully open, revealing the cut sections of his abs and the hard mass of his pectorals. She froze and stared at the solid wall of muscle that was his chest. His hard nipples, tight and tempting, begged to be licked. She backed away and found herself trapped between the nightstand and the wall. He closed the distance between them with a long stride and placed his hands on either side of her. She wanted him more than she had ever wanted anything in the world. He slowly leaned toward her, the smell of beer and his masculine scent seducing her. Heat filled her core as her treacherous hands ran up his rib cage and over the top of his ridged stomach. His skin was so smooth, stretched over the hard muscle. He watched her as she explored him, keeping his big arms flexed on either side of her. "You're right, Lilly. You don't like me." Before she could say anything else, he leaned in and whispered against her lips. "You love me."

A rogue wolf shifter with his growing army of killers sets alpha wolf and security expert Dillon into motion. Together with his long time mate, Rick, they track the string of deaths to a small rural town.
Copper, an alpha lion shifter, isn't thrilled the Wolf Council sent the pair to stick their nose into his business but finally agrees to accept their help, determined to solve the case quickly and send both wolf shifters on their way before he gives in to his primal urges.
Sparks fly between the wolf couple and the feline as they grapple with their instant attraction and jockey for top dog position while Rick sits back and watches the fireworks with amusement, realizing they just might have found their third mate. The sexual tension is building while a deadly band of killers are culling out the next victim in their game.
Can they put aside their differences and stop the killings before it's too late? Will their species varieties stand in the way of a sizzling threesome mating?
Show Excerpt
"Are you going to stand there or are you going to strip and get fucked?" Dillon tossed his button-up shirt in a growing pile of dirty clothes and went to work on the fastenings of his suit pants, with a raised brow toward his partner.
Dillon scented Rick long before the quiet squeak of the door to their shared cabin, which sat in the middle of pack lands, announced his arrival. As if Rick read his mind, the beta returned home at just the right time.
After a long week of meetings with the pack councils in the region and discussing one problem after another, Dillon felt tied up in a strangling knot. The burden of stress and responsibility bore down on his shoulders like the weight of the entire world. He'd gladly accepted the assignment, since wolf pack alphas protected the others from the top to the bottom, with no exceptions. Besides, his position as head of security forced him to keep abreast of any and all potential threats to his rather large family. Attending conferences fell under the category of proactive oversight and information sharing. Though tedious, traveling to a neutral location proved necessary to stay updated of happenings and continue the pack's peaceful path. None of that bothered him.
What did cause concern was a juicy tidbit from this particular event that still sent shards of worry through him, occupied his mind through the entire seven day stay, and lingered to the present, which explained his surly mood and rigid tension.
"Wound tight, huh?" Rick arched a blond eyebrow but began to shuck clothes at a rapid pace.
"You have no idea." Normally, he used more tact and a trifle more manners in greeting Rick. Today, the other wolf took his chances.
The last of his clothes fell away, leaving Dillon nude, his granite-hard erection jutting straight out from his body, the red tip already leaking a drop of fluid.
In a matter of seconds, Rick stood just as naked. Dillon's mouth watered at the sight of the tall, ripped wolf shifter. Blond hair topped Rick's head in short waves, the ends just tickling his collar when he wore clothes. His solid frame held plenty of muscles full of precise definition and power. Definitely a looker. His wide chest had a few sprinkles of light colored hairs that led to a narrow waist where the fuzz solidified into a fine line aiming straight to a thick, quickly swelling dick. A perfect complement to Dillon's own darker coloring and similar build.
"It's going to be rough. Can you take it?" His gaze rose so he could watch the other man's face.
"Rough? What other kind is there with you?" Rick grinned slyly, his eyes flashing with unbridled lust.
Dillon growled and stepped forward.
Rick shook his head as amusement covered his face. "Yeah, I can take whatever you dish out."
"Good." Dillon licked his lips in anticipation.
Cupping Rick's head, Dillon pulled him in close, meshing their lips together in a preview of the hard coupling to come. Rick gave back with as much gusto, his tongue flicking over Dillon's in open invitation.
Nearly desperate with need, Dillon broke the kiss. "On the bed." He waited for Rick to move before heading to the side of the bed and digging through the bedside table drawer. Finding the items he sought, he grabbed them up, then returned to stare longingly at Rick.
Tossing an item up in the air, he caught it, then tossed again. He grinned as Rick watched, a tiny spark of excitement flickered across his face. "Sit down. I think you're gonna need this."
Rick immediately complied, moaning low and flinching as Dillon first squeezed just behind head of his cock, waited a few beats for the erection to fade somewhat, before snapping the metal cock ring on.
They both knew when Dillon used the device, he had no intention of ending the play any time soon. More like hours on end passed before he finally succumbed to exhaustion. Only then would he rest after banishing all the pent-up stress from his body.
Standing back, Dillon sucked in a deep breath and admired the vision before him. He preferred his lovers experienced, well hung, thickly muscled, and capable of handling his pounding and begging for more, which left out humans as they tended to wilt long before he came close to tiring. Shifters, on the other hand, typically kept pace as long as they enjoyed a bite of pain along with their rounds of pleasure. Rick fit the bill perfectly.
They had belonged to the same pack, were raised together, and gravitated toward one another from almost the beginning. As their personalities and position in the large pack stabilized, they'd turned to one another as confidants, friends, and often as lovers. Older pack members, both male and female, had initiated them both into the realm of a sexually active wolf shifter, but they sought out one another almost exclusively these days to care for their base desires and needs. Dillon's alpha status matched up well with Rick's high beta level, putting them nearly on equal footing while their sexual preferences meshed perfectly.
Dillon reached out and fingered the ring surrounding the base of Rick's cock. The metal caught the sunlight streaming into the room, sending flashes across the walls as Dillon stroked his hand up and down the impressive member, bringing his partner to full arousal once more.
"Much better." Dillon continued his ministrations for a moment longer, savoring the expression of tense joy on his partner's face.

Peter S. Kalikow
Chairman, MTA
Peter S. Kalikow, president of H.J. Kalikow & Company, LLC, one of New York City's leading real estate firms, and former chairman of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), earned a B.S. in Business Administration from Hofstra in 1965 and an Honorary Doctorate of Laws in 1988. He is a member of Hofstra's Board of Trustees.
Mr. Kalikow in 2006 established donated $3.5 million to Hofstra to establish the Peter S. Kalikow Center for the Study of the American Presidency and the Peter S. Kalikow Chair in Presidential Studies. Together with its presidential conferences, the center and the endowed chair make Hofstra one of the very few institutions in the country with a unique focus on the presidency. Meena Bose, Ph.D., is the first person to hold the chair.
"The office of the President is the centerpiece of our democracy and studying how these 42 men have functioned in this office is of vital importance to all of us," Mr. Kalikow said at the time. "In times of peril and in times of peace, the office of the president holds the country together. The president is the most important office for which all Americans vote, so in many ways, it is a mirror of our society."
Mr. Kalikow's gift will allow the University to build on Hofstra's tradition of interdisciplinary academic conferences that examine the policies and historic implications of various administrations. Hofstra's first Presidential Conference in 1982 focused on the administration of Franklin Delano Roosevelt. The University has since held academic conferences on each succeeding president, the last on William Jefferson Clinton in November 2005.

is there a easy way to remove xshop? cuz removing packages dosnt work
If i try to enable right click deny mod through HoN Mod Manager. The mods from your .s2z will get overidden, and can't be seen until i revert the change at HoN Mod Manager. anyone having a similar problem? I love the mod combo of yours, but its so sad that i can't combine it with some of my favorite mods (Rightclick deny and custom creep bars).
rightclick-deny does not work with 2.5
other than that i did not find anything but a fix would be nice, gotten used to it so much, keep getting out of position because i start running to my creeps ><
Channeling bars not working for me. At least not in the middle of the screen like it used to be, only a tiny bar at the debuff which causes the channeling.
Anyone else?
updated, should work now.
OOook. So.. kind of wierd.
For some reason, no aspect of this combo is really working for me except xstats. And even it looks.. different for some reason, darker than I recall. I have nothing in my mod options for any aspect of it, nor do I have any of the mods active in-game.
The wierd part is I don't have anything else going that could possibly cause any conflicting issues. Thoughts?
edit: Messed around some and found out that it -IS- a conflict with my other mods. Specifically ANY of them, if I have even one mod enabled through the Honmod Manager, the combo will not work at all.
@zellgadis: channeling bar on debuff? maybe you resized your bar? you can change position (and possibly the size) of the bar in the moveable frames options.
Just checked ingame and it works for me on almost everything. Only bubbles' take cover and Homecoming stone seem to not work. Maybe i can fix those, but if it doesn't work with the other skills for you, then i think it's because of your settings.
@Jaela: different how? and are you sure you don't have any other mods installed? maybe a resources999.s2z for example in your directory?
Last edited by blackAngel; 12-11-2011 at 01:03 PM.
Yeah. If even one other mod is activated and 999 is anything but empty, nothing in your combo will work except xstats. And even then, the text is mostly black instead of those nice fresh colors. Also nothing will show up in mod options, not even for xstats despite it being "semi" active.
It's just.. strange. I've used the combo plenty in the past and never ran into any such issue before.
Will try it out, thanks heaps for the work

What is Rabies ?
Rabies is an ancient disease affecting human kind since times innumerable caused by rabies virus. Rabies is a fatal disease caused by bite of a rabid dog. Two type of clinical rabies are described – "furious" type which affects majority of the patients and the "paralytic" type which affects around 20 percent of patients. Patients die due to affection of the brain.
How does Rabies spread ?
Rabies is a disease, transmitted to humans by the bite of infected rabid animals most often dogs. It can also spread rarely by bite of infected cats, foxes, monkeys, rodents. The rabies virus is present in the saliva of these infected animals and can rarely spread through lick, scratch of infected animal. Infection also occurs in rare cases through inhalation of virus as from bats and rarely through organ transplantation.
What are the symptoms of Rabies ?
After a bite from a rabid dog, the patient may remain alright for 20 to 180 days. Most of the time numbness or cramps occur at the bite site. After this period, patient generally get high grade fever, acute headache, uneasiness, phobia of water (hydrophobia), phobias of wind and fans and the child will behave abnormally and even become violent (furious rabies). Patient cannot stand or stay in one spot. With progression, it can lead to coma and death between five to twenty-one days. The paralytic rabies is characterized by paralysis, coma and death.
How is diagnosis of Rabies made ?
Diagnosis of Rabies is mainly based on patient history, symptoms and signs. Diagnosis can be confirmed by demonstration of the virus under electron microscope from a biopsy from the brain of by antibody tests in the various body fluids.
How is Rabies treated ?
Once a child develops symptoms of rabies, one cannot cure the disease and death is very likely. However one can prevent rabies by taking the rabies vaccine. If a child gets bitten by a dog, the wound should be washed with running tap water and soap for 10 minutes. Antiseptic should be applied to the wound and tetanus injection may be required if not received. Child should be given rabies immunoglobulin and rabies vaccine. Rabies vaccine can be given on Day 0, 1, 3, 7, 21 and 90 days. If the dog dies, entire course should be given. If the dog survives after 10 days, then there is no need to continue the anti rabies vaccine (ARV) after that.

The sites vary in land cover type from forest to tundra. The purpose of the investigation was to understand the potential effects of climate change on the region by measuring how conditions change along a vegetation gradient. These data, which characterize snow cover and snow-holding capacity of various vegetation types, can help scientists understand how key meteorological events impact the arctic landscape.

Theoretically, if Proud To Be A Brony by BlackGryph0n had the lyrics changed so that the songs from the show weren't there (Main Theme, Winter Wrap Up, Art of the Dress, Cupcakes, etc.) as well as the quotes from the show, would the lyrics be passable? I say this because that's the kind of name-dropping lyrics I'm thinking of using somewhere in my song.
I was actually surprised there wasn't any brony music earlier.
The two tracks I want to see are Ken Ashcorp's "20 Percent Cooler" or FiMFlamFilosphy's "Rainbow Fun Factory". Even if I couldn't actually get them for my ownership (I'm on a Wii), I'd still want to see them get on the store.
/人◕ ‿‿ ◕人\
Ever since LyokoFreaks started posting customs of brony songs I've been dying to see some of them in rock band. Here are my requests (in addition to most of what people have previously requested):
Aviators - Just Like You
HeyLasFas - Nightfall (release it in parts)
Replacer - Song for an Earth Pony
ThatSonofaMitch befriends All Levels at Once - First Night Alone
Pinkie Guy x ISMBOF (feat. Solrac) - Give Me Eyes to See
MandoPony & AcousticBrony - Loyalty
MandoPony & AcousticBrony - I'll Fly Higher
That should do it... for now :P
The ones with possible legal problems are Nightfall (Luna is frequently mentioned) and First Night Alone ("Colgate" is mentioned)

Will the Brony Authoring group only be bringing Brony music? or will they attempt to grab others along the way? Just curious.

About the Rainbow Dash, I never got an answer on an instrumental (no vocals.) named "Rainbows at the Speed of Light." Would it take away the bronyness? Or... am I just out of luck?

You should get music by MysteriousBronie
You can pick anything you like from him, but a few I recommend from the guy.
Vinyl and Octavia University Days
My Sister and Me
Scootaloo What's Wrong With You?
I don't know if this one would be possible, but you should also get Sea Ponies (Barber Shop)
Even though I'm not a fan of Rarity, this song is also cool (Rarity Gets Folk).
[X]More Angels & Airwave songs (AvA)[ ]The Vandals[X]Sum 41
[ ]Fenix Tx[ ]Unwritten Law[ ]Box Car Racer[ ]Nofx
Another question: Is it possible to have album artwork that has a custom made pony on it (like from Pony Creator)?

How to Wear Bronzer at Every Age
Now is the time to wear that beachy, sun-kissed look you've been wanting all winter. Take a hint from these bronzed beauties to have bright, glowing skin all year round. Try these looks on for free with our virtual makeover tool today!
By Colleen Moody
20s: Highlight Darker Skin
Bronzer isn't just for the fair-skinned. Those with darker skin tones can use it to highlight and define their entire face, especially the cheekbones. "Use a bronzer that is one to two shades darker than your skin," says Marcus Monson, Guerlain National Makeup Artist. "Bronzers with more brown tones are more natural-looking. Steer clear of orange shades, as they can look too dark and cakey at the end of the day."
For a more natural glow, try Milani TANTASTIC Face & Body Baked Bronzer in Sun Glow, $8.49, milanicosmetics.com
20s: Contour with Multiple Bronzers
"Avoid the Jersey Shore orange look and instead opt for a tanned look by mixing a matte and shimmer bronzer together," Monson says. Apply the matte bronzer all over the face in circular motions with a large brush to avoid streaking, then apply the shimmer just to the cheekbones and other areas you want to highlight. Another option? Mix your bronzer and blush for a rosier glow.
Try a palette like Givenchy Le Prisme Sun Visage Mat Soft Compact Face Powder in Sun Mango, $45, sephora.com
30s: Choose the Right Formula
In your 30s, the moisture levels in your skin begin to drop, so it's important to choose a bronzer with a hydrating formula. Pick a bronzer with a luminous finish, and go easy on the application to avoid a dirty, over-colored effect.
For a luminous glow, try a mix-and-match multi-bronzer like Soap & Glory Solar Powder, $11.99, target.com
30s: Be Natural
The "I spent a day at the beach" look won't do anymore. "Bronzers should give believable color in your 30s," says Monson. Opt for a spray bronzer formula like Guerlain Terracotta Bronzing Spray to cover up fine lines and give your complexion a natural radiance.
$59, sephora.com
40s: Gently Glow
Your bronzer should give you a subtle glow and not be a blatant beauty announcement that you're wearing it. Monson says, "Sway toward mineral-based formulas for extra coverage while giving your skin a boost of color."
For a light glow, try Tarte Mineral Powder Bronzer, $29, sephora.com
40s: A Light Touch
For lighter skin tones, you should be highlighting rather than bronzing. To get this look, dust a powder like Physicians Formula Mineral Wear Talc-Free Mineral Illuminating Powder all over your forehead, cheeks, and even eyelids for a soft shine. If you find you are applying with a heavy hand, lightly dust translucent powder over your face to help blend in the color.
$13.99, ulta.com
50s and Beyond: Pick the Right Formula
As your skin matures, it's important to switch up your bronzer formula. Monson advises, "Stay away from heavily pigmented bronzers, and instead choose a subtle color, adding more to the areas of the face that are naturally kissed by the sun."
Steer toward a cream-based formula to keep your skin hydrated, like Hourglass Illume Creme-to-Powder Bronzer Duo in Bronze Light, $40, sephora.com
50s and Beyond: Use a Light Hand
By this time, you'll notice little gray hairs around your hairline. To avoid mixing product into these gray hairs, apply it lightly all over your face, especially around the outer perimeter, for a more even, natural look. Use a bronzer with SPF, like YSL Poudre de Soleil Bronzing Powder, to protect skin while covering up those tiny lines.

First, here is the Craigslist picture of the chairs. The seller claimed they were mahogany, but were worn and in need of work. I loved the detailing on the backs of the chairs, so I thought they would be the perfect chairs to paint.
After following the tips suggested by Kate at Censtsational Girl, here, Brooke from Blueprint Bliss, here, and Janell from Isabella and Max Rooms, here, I first sanded the chairs (or should I say, my kind husband detached the seats and sanded the chairs for me). Next, I used leftover primer that we had to prime the chairs. Since it is winter here and I had to work indoors, I didn't use spray paint. Next, I applied two thin coats of Sherwin Williams Dover White paint, which was also leftover from painting all the trim in our house. For the last step, my husband applied wipe-on poly to give it a nice shine and to protect the paint job.
Here is the end result:
For the seat cushions, I only kept the original wood and replaced everything else. The original foam cushions were gross, so I used two foam cushions that I got at Joann's Fabrics that I cut to size. In hindsight, the cushions are probably too plush for the height of the back of the chair, but, they are very comfortable so I don't mind that they are not proportional. I then wrapped some batting around the foam cushions and used my staple gun to secure the batting to the back of the wood seat. Next, I centered and wrapped around the green trellis fabric that I bought at Joann's, and stapled the fabric to the back of the seat. Then the seats were reattached to the chair.
Here is another look at the finished chairs.
We are going to use one for our computer desk and the other for my sewing desk. I also think they're cute enough to pull into our family room when we have guests over and need extra seating. I can't wait to paint something again. I may have a problem . . .

This Nightline story examines the asbestos poisoning of Libby, Montana, where hundreds of people have acquired asbestosis and lung cancer. It also addresses the possibility that asbestos from the mine in Libby might contaminate other areas where the mine's products were processed.

An air that kills: How the asbestos poisoning of Libby, Montana, uncovered a national scandal
This book reveals the events behind the asbestos-related deaths of hundreds of miners and their family members and the related sicknesses of thousands of others who lived near the W.R. Grace & Co. vermiculite mine. The investigation documents how company officials knew for decades that the ore from the mine was dangerous but still they concealed the hazard. The authors also show how the federal government had known of the poisonings but had failed to disclose the problem.

This two-part series focused on a product called Zonolite. For decades it was used as an attic insulation in millions of homes across the United States. Internal documents from the company that mines the raw material, and government agencies found that the product contains tremolite asbestos, one of the most deadly forms of asbestos. It is related to numerous deaths and illness of the lungs from inhalation of the dust particles of the product. More than 70,000 homes statewide in Michigan (including Detroit) have the product in their attics. Many former employees of the company are at risk of lung ailments without their knowledge of the product's hazard. The series discovered that the EPA was trying to internally assess exactly what to tell the public who may come in contact with the product about how to handle Zonolite. It also included information about how to check the attic of a home to see if there is Zonolite, as well as precautions to be taken.

Death in a small town
NBC investigates a deadly mining operation near Libby, Montana, where more than 100 former workers and their relatives have died of asbestos-related illnesses. Although the mine closed in 1990, the dying continues, NBC reports. The story reveals that W.R. Grace, the company that operated the mine, was aware of the health risks years before warning the miners about the asbestos danger. "The program supplied a fresh alert to thousands around the country who may have products such as home insulation made from Libby's vermiculite ore in their homes."

Asbestos: Forgotten Killer
"The series dealt with the continuing exposure to cancer-causing asbestos by hundreds of thousands of miners, construction workers, home gardeners, auto mechanics and others. Industry claimed there was no danger and government, for the most part, believed that asbestos had been banned.... The stories that followed (Seattle P-I 1999 coverage) in 2000 documented that miners in other places are being killed by the same fibers today and asbestos can still be found in such benign consumer products as crayons, play sand, garden products, attic insulation, wall board, construction products and vehicle brake shoes." (file includes text of "Uncivil Action: A Town Left to Die)
Libby's Deadly Grace
Vollers and Barnett investigate a Libby, Montana mine and find that asbestos from the mine were sickening workers and their families. Worse yet, they also learned that the company that owned the mine, W.R. Grace & Company knew this but did not warn its employees.

Uncivil Action - A Town Left to Die, Asbestos: Forgotten Killer
The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that "From 1924 until 1990, miners extracted a large percentage of the world's vermiculite from a mountainside near Libby (Montana). As they mined and milled the ore, millions of tons of tremolite asbestos were released into the air... 192 people from Libby had died, and 375 were currently diagnosed with fatal asbestos-related disease, directly traceable to the mining operation. ... The W.R. Grace Co., which owned the mine for three decades, was well aware of the deadly asbestos being inhaled by the miners and their families, but for years did not tell its workers of the hazards... And doctors say the people of Libby will keep dying for decades..."

And next to me and owner of a small as you describe mom and -- -- -- -- agency joining me.
Your -- and filings against fiance here in New York City and from DC we have my brain the owner of hobby works.
I did toy store fun little store right five locations in -- -- -- employee of 48 employees of which I believe we give a dozen.
Health care.
Radically different views and -- you are for.
The new health -- law Steve you are against it.
Yes so let's before we begin battling this out for AMOCO oblique discussing it.
Let's take a listen to something President Obama said during the second debate at Hofstra University -- -- So four years ago I stood -- -- just like this from exit -- town -- I said I would cut taxes for middle class families and that's what I've done.
By 3600 dollars.
Let's that I would cut taxes for small businesses were the drivers and engines of growth we -- eighteen times.
And I wanna continue.
Those tax cuts.
For middle class families and for small businesses.
-- -- We'll start with you do you agree that everything the president said he's done that he has truly -- I do for the most part this this administration has been by it to my eyes -- -- -- -- most small business friendly administrations since I started my company nearly twenty years ago.
When you look at a lot of the things that they did with the small the original small business jobs act and -- the extension of that 4010.
It was chock full -- Nice little tidbits for businesses and like -- to go -- went right to the bottom line things like the changes to section 179.
The loss changes to loss carry back rules -- mean these were things that we were able to use.
Right away right in the heart of the recession and if there is any things that this administration has done for businesses in my view it's.
Focus on small businesses okay.
Steve -- on yes do you agree that this has been a small business friendly administration.
Not at all just look at our economy look what's happened small businesses and large businesses in this country.
This is just and another.
This is government taking over whole industry that is nothing it's lot of good buzz words about you know happy you know people want -- -- that everyone be covered.
But some of course I was just a simple question where's the money gonna come from to pay for these new mandates -- comes from somewhere -- not talking about there is no specifics.
And it's it's that.
It's simply who's gonna work right okay regarding the health Carolina yes do you -- -- of your employees right now health coverage right now mountains where we're independent contractors and our office.
All right so this -- inside and you would consider doing.
Not for myself and -- represent my cell group medical insurance -- our offices in between our practitioners we have couple hundred is a small business clients on Long Island in a five -- what are they telling you about offering health insurance is they they already are flipping out on finding a lot of a lot of times are ready where -- -- -- small -- businesses have their small law firm -- so local deli.
Their spouses are getting some times local government jobs just -- the medical they dropping -- -- the business.
The businesses are so bad right now they can't afford the increases in this is just coming -- the level of taxes just look at the Medicare system along.
Now OK well -- I think you disagree you're kind of what intent is -- Carolina right you say it.
It's going to be good for you end for your workers explain well.
Yeah I -- you know I got into this health care thing because I served on the board of directors the local hospital years ago so I started paying attention.
But the fact of the matter is that.
I'm getting a little bit and echo here.
The fact of the matter is that this.
Health most of what you're hearing about this and objections from us from small business owners.
Our based on misinformation.
At several.
The fact of the matter is it is for businesses that have hundred point five employees and this is not a bad thing it's a good thing because it enables them.
To provide health care where they weren't able to before.
And the answer of the gentleman's question we -- where's the money gonna come from.
What comes from people who already wants to have health insurance and weren't able to afford it before and so they're the ones who are paying how how old is lower your costs -- -- well where we're in Maryland and Maryland mandates already small group so a lot of what you have in this health care law sort of you know some of the things the the continuation of coverage preexisting conditions that are like -- already mandated by -- -- because Maryland is one of only a few states that -- that we don't have a lot of choice.
A kind of fact we only have three choices.
In health care now.
So for me it'll be great because.
All if you -- -- be in health -- business you're going to have to offer a slate of plans.
And so in Maryland it will be much more competitive and we'll have more people choose from and I expected to come back.
A -- and Steve when -- was talking to -- writers earlier and I say you know.
This is going to be interesting to see the forty plus employees businesses.
China standard -- so they don't have to employee coverage and he yeah I saw you shake your head you really can't that's right.
How come you really think this -- saw that this is sorry not gonna hire business.
In New York -- we have community rating look to.
Where people have health conditions they're covered and a cover for those conditions are -- -- we have a local congressman's announcing how they're gonna solve this problem jury has been in the state.
But the problem is right now New York State full time employees considers low lowest twenty hours we have -- -- business owners already that are -- -- announced twenty Alice in New York State for small businesses you can be a number of medical plan.
And -- have now where most live employees have people seventeen hampered nineteen -- -- -- or -- trend that's put -- -- plant.
At first the million people seem like it's a great way to get inexpensive insurance because of this be cheaper to pay the following -- seems like.
But it's gonna happen is really that's -- sort of I'd look here's the plan of -- with the government taking moment the whole health care industry.
And you look at past history New York State before the community rating -- came in in the ninety's.
Blue cross.
Was there was a plane of lift -- what they got -- -- pricing when he went to the hospital -- -- much cheaper and the other insurance companies with tax to help try to build the map.
So we get soon along the insurance company stocks -- the market and you forced to go to the government plan.
It is the government running it because on Friday there's this deadline where the governors across the US have to say.
Whether there can offer a state exchange so if you're -- the company doesn't provide health insurance that consumer can shop for an exchange.
In that state so you're not required do it sending government would offer the exchange snow and the potential -- this.
-- how is this government running health care.
The -- government running health care what is his government providing an opportunity for all of this gentleman's independent contractors to go out and get health insurance the government's not running anything.
At the end of the day you're still going to the same insurance companies you always -- people and -- And you're not gonna have people fleeing the market because now the entire country will be the market and so the idea that these insurance -- -- -- suddenly get a pack up and go out of business is preposterous.
And the idea that the federal government is running health care is also preposterous all they've done.
It's what many states have done with his way out certain guidelines and then they're providing hopefully through the states these exchanges where independent contractors like.
Finally he employees and and people who are also who -- self employed.
Can go out and get health insurance and small businesses can also participate you -- can go to these exchanged a look and say hey can I get a better deal here gonna get a better deal there so so the the very idea that this is the the government running health care.
I completely objective.
I appreciate.
-- -- opinion and point well made might follow up question for you.
You offered twelve employees health care at a 48 are those numbers accurate.
Yes there are you gonna extend.
Health care coverage meaning increasing some hour or -- more people would qualify what's your plan.
Sure -- people -- plan is first of all mostly I have retail employees lots of part timers those people tend to be lower wage so -- we offer.
Health care to a lot of them.
Many often not to take it.
So we're hoping to provide.
-- to give those people who opt not to take it for cost reasons the opportunity.
To access health care.
We -- not -- plants open two stores next here.
We are not -- us slowdown hiring employees so you all about the update here at 48 and -- will go about fifty.
-- -- -- -- A pet so it's you know but like like 96%.
Of businesses over fifty employees we are already offering health insurance and so the pool of businesses that or are not offering health insurance is.
To work is actually a very small percentage we're gonna have 4% and you take it business like this gentleman's concerns business he's got independent contractors.
So this -- affect him anyway.
So this is an opportunity for those people to go out -- get health insurance on their own.
-- -- affect his business and one bit.
Well but what -- is saying I hear every Wednesday everything we do the Fox Business.
Small business -- so it's not just Steve saying is it's many people saying yes but -- -- -- you want to welcome.
What it affects my -- -- of clients that are set of buying these products and it -- Cuban saying he's buzz words of like.
Why why do we wanna go between that -- planned idea was how we get the expenses that does not think addressed -- expenses this is is a government another tax.
Look at the -- with the Medicare system.
In the upstate when you sell a senior above 65.
Date because of medical Medicare doesn't cover everything -- -- give part B they have to pay for they'd be party the drug plan and a supplement.
An average senior even -- they -- paid all their life all these taxes.
To Medicare.
Because -- pay about 400 dollars a month per person.
And premium more than 400 -- So he's still not having these government playing -- these additional taxes to supplements as much as individual plans right now.
A lot of small business owners who stay on the group HMO.
Because it's the same price as all the supplements and they don't have to have a donor hold -- -- BD on a drug plan.
Many were able to happen so it's is nothing here is addressing union expenses down and just look like yet look again -- these programs run by the government.
What's happened in New York area just with but flight for MTA.
And kick the government -- cannot manage -- its profit we want capitalism private -- -- The base rate IRN or.
War back to this the government thinks the government's -- the -- not mentioned things.
Beat -- we are addressing the costs here because of you know the biggest hidden tax in health insurance.
Are people who don't have insurance the fact of the matter is when people don't have insurance.
They still use the health care system.
And that's what's not being paid for and so this does address that any significant way because now.
Although people who who refused to get health insurance they will be paying into -- fit into the system at a massive amount of money that we didn't have in the system before.
And so again the idea that this is another government run this program that's going to somehow fail.
That that this flawed and by the way there's plenty of government run programs that work great.
The fact of the matter is you would I Laura can go get a -- -- burger McDonald's order restaurant or from a roadside car.
And have a reasonable expectation we're not gonna die.
Because we have the USDA.
And the fact the matter is that.
That's an example of a government program working really really well.
My pregnant so they are out -- so much thank you for your -- -- and good luck TO the owner of -- works in Maryland -- I don't think you so much for coming on as you well.

text: COOL Defenders Plan Fundraising Events Groups supporting country of origin labeling focus on fall and winter events that will raise funds to defend COOL in lawsuit Published on: Oct 15, 2013 Tweet Post to Your Wall. Email Story RSS Permalink Print A group of Country of Origin Labeling supporters has organized several events this fall and winter aimed at raising funds to pay for the legal defense of the USDA's COOL rule, which requires labeling on meat products that indicates where the originating animal was born, raised and slaughtered. The groups, including the U.S. Cattlemen's Association, National Farmers Union, American Sheep Industry Association and the Consumer Federation of America, say the rule provides needed information to the consumer, though opponents of the rule say it hinders trade with neighboring countries and is an unnecessary rule that does not advance a government interest. The respective sides have been engaged in a legal battle over COOL since this summer, which the COOL defenders say is costly enough to warrant a fundraising tour over the next two months to pay for the groups' legal fees.Groups supporting country of origin labeling focus on fall and winter events that will raise funds to defend COOL in lawsuit Many of the tour stops will be centered on the northern plains – namely South Dakota, North Dakota and Montana. USCA Executive Vice President Jess Peterson says the effort is an extension of a previous tour this summer. "This past summer, hundreds of COOL supporters turned out to support COOL defense events held at livestock auction markets and with state and regional groups," he said, explaining that previous events have been held at restaurants and private farms as well. "The support received permitted USCA and its allies to retain legal counsel and become engaged in the COOL lawsuit as defendant-intervenors," he said.
