turned away can be anyone.
The same holds true for Scott's landscapes. He rarely titles them after the actual places he's painted. Frequently, people are certain that these are places they know – they are someplace that's familiar. Most of the time, people who are sure they know where the painting is are completely wrong, but he's learned not to dissuade them from whatever they see. The painting is what the viewer thinks it is.
In fiction, we delight in reading about places we know, but I think we may be even more caught up in a story when the place is fictional, but very familiar.
One of the writers interviewed in the movie Stone Reader noted that reading is not a passive activity. A book needs a reader's imagination to really bring it to life.
I was thinking about a resistance on my part to write detailed descriptions of characters faces and physical characteristics – I like to focus on a few things that provide enough information to let the reader assume what he will. One or two pieces of information about place also suit me as a reader, but not description so specific that I can't participate in building the story too. Tell me about a ceramic poodle and a petrified dish of ribbon candy in an old lady's parlor and I can imagine the rest. Tell me about gangly teenage girl who constantly pushes her limp, shapeless hair behind her ears and I get the picture. Show me an old man leaning over his cane with milky blue eyes staring out from beneath caterpillar eyebrows and I'm with you.
Movie adaptations fall prey to viewer disappointment many times because the screenwriter and/or director stray too far from strong imagery we've been given by an author. I absolutely loved The Shipping News and the movie adaptation was quite good, but with one distracting flaw: Kevin Spacey was far too attractive. Annie Proulx's Quoyle was clearly a pitifully unattractive man.
The study of fiction and the development of my own style over the last several months have given me a much greater sense of confidence about the type of fiction I'm striving to write and clear confirmation that there are many people who share my taste and many who do not.
How much description do you like to be given when you read a book? Would you prefer to read very detailed descriptions that provide very specific images of characters and place, or do you prefer to have most of it left to your imagination? What authors are you drawn to when it comes to their ability to "show" you their story?

Our laboratory is interested in the properties and dynamics of gap junction-mediated electrical transmission in the vertebrate brain. Because perhaps of the relative simplicity of transmission, electrical synapses are generally perceived as passive intercellular channels that lack dynamic control. While the study of plasticity of chemical synapses has long been an area of primary interest to neuroscientists, less is known about the modifiability of electrical synapses.
We investigate these dynamic properties in both mammalian and teleost (goldfish and larval zebrafish) electrical synapses. In contrast with mammalian electrical synapses that generally have limited experimental access, lower vertebrates have provided with advantageous experimental models in which basic properties of electrical transmission can be more easily study. This is the case of identifiable auditory afferents terminating on teleost Mauthner cells known as "Large Myelinated Club endings". These endings are "mixed" (electrical and chemical) synaptic contacts that offer the rare opportunity to correlate physiological properties with molecular composition and specific ultrastructural features of individual synapses. Gap junctions at these model synapses undergo activity-dependent potentiation and are mediated by fish homologs of connexin 36, which is widely distributed across the mammalian brain.
Our current work focuses on the mechanisms underlying activity-dependent changes in electrical synapses by investigating:
Thus, while focusing in the properties of electrical synapses, the research of our laboratory explores the complexity of synaptic transmission and signaling mechanisms in general.

In Brief
- The human brain lacks conspicuous characteristics—such as relative or absolute size—that might account for humans' superior intellect.
- Researchers have found some clues to humanity's aptitude on a smaller scale, such as more neurons in our brain's outermost layer.
- Human intelligence may be best likened to an upgrade of the cognitive capacities of nonhuman primates rather than an exceptionally advanced form of cognition.
As far as we know, no dog can compose music, no dolphin can speak in rhymes, and no parrot can solve equations with two unknowns. Only humans can perform such intellectual feats, presumably because we are smarter than all other animal species—at least by our own definition of intelligence.
Of course, intelligence must emerge from the workings of the three-pound mass of wetware packed inside our skulls. Thus, researchers have tried to identify unique features of the human brain that could account for our superior intellectual abilities. But, anatomically, the human brain is very similar to that of other primates because humans and chimpanzees share an ancestor that walked the earth less than seven million years ago.

Cancer of the tonsils occurs predominantly in men. It is strongly linked to smoking and alcohol consumption. Recent evidence suggests that human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with tonsil cancer as well. People who have HPV-related tumors and who are non-smokers seem to have better survival rates. This cancer often spreads to the lymph nodes in the neck. Cancer of the tonsils occurs most often in people between the ages of 50 and 70.
A sore throat is often the first symptom. Pain usually radiates to the ear on the same side as the affected tonsil. Sometimes, however, a lump in the neck resulting from the cancer's spread to a lymph node (metastasis) may be noticed before any other symptoms. see Neck Lump A doctor diagnoses the cancer by performing a biopsy of the tonsil, in which a sample of tissue is removed for examination under a microscope. Evaluation usually includes laryngoscopy (examination of the larynx), bronchoscopy (examination of the lungs), and esophagoscopy (examination of the esophagus). These areas are evaluated because of the high risk of additional cancers being present (up to 10%). A chest x-ray is done, and a computed tomography (CT) scan of the head and neck usually is also done.
About 50% of the people survive for at least 5 years after diagnosis, although the exact number depends on the stage of the cancer at the time of treatment.
Treatment typically includes radiation therapy, surgery, and chemotherapy. Small tumors may be treated with surgery alone or radiation therapy. Large tumors commonly are treated with a combination of chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Surgery may be needed for tumors that do not respond to the combination. Surgery may involve removal of the tumor, lymph nodes in the neck, and part of the jaw. There have been notable advances in the reconstruction used after surgery to remove the cancer, resulting in significant improvements in function and appearance.

Why didn't Schubert finish his "unfinished" symphony?
In fact, he did sketch out a third movement, and some historians feel that they have identified music that Schubert intended, to complete the symphony. But I think the answer is simple: Schubert knew that in this symphony, he was striking out in a new direction. We are so familiar with this music that it's easy to forget how atypical of Schubert it is. I'm sure the composer knew that he had to match this new direction in the last two movements, and he was unable to do that. He set the third movement aside as inadequate, and for one reason or another, never got back into this extraordinary new groove he had found, a new style with remarkable power and romance.
This morning, on WPRB (August 16, 2011), I tried an experiment that I think is rather satisfying: to finish the symphony with the last two movements of Schubert's ninth. That great symphony is in C major, so I lowered the pitch to B, since that is the key of the "Unfinished." The ninth symphony is not quite in the same vein as the eighth, but its power is enough to do admirably.
I apologize to Leonard Bernstein and the members of the New York Philharmonic for playing their performance in the wrong key, and therefore at the wrong tempo. I apologize as well to all listeners with perfect pitch, for whom these last two movements may have been total agony.

I have a few announcements I want to make and changes I wanted to bring up. I am currently NO longer selling products online. (prints only!)
Why?- I keep selling out of things at conventions and I need to maintain my inventory. For 2014 I want to attend more events with my products to sell. Look at what conventions I will be attending to buy through my shop! ( I am a one person team! )
What will I be selling online?
I will still be offering prints and I just added a few prints and opened my new print shop! I will slowly be adding more and more prints as time passes. Eventually I will ever order bigger ones but this is what I have for now.
Do I take commissions?
Yes and no. Sometimes I take commissions but mostly just prop commissions. I do not make full costumes. Mainly because people can not come it for a fitting ect. (I want it to fit correctly). I do open up for prop commissions sometimes. Currently I am too busy to take on commissions but when I can

It's technically the same as Dropbox, but offers much more space at an initial 15gb of cloud space FREE.
So click this https://copy.com?r=veqtNG and it'll take you through my referral to the page.
Why through my referral?
Because when you sign up you get 15GB cloud space free.
But through a referrer's link, once you verify your email and then download & install either the Copy app or program, like dropbox, we both get additional 5GB on top of that.
Now, that's fun and most important more space for free!
Then after that you can introduce it to all your friends for similar results and you can rack up tons of 5GB per referral.

The 10 Questions I got:
1. What is your favorite book out of anything you read in the past year?
Answer: That must really be the First "The Hunger Games" book, I was really into it just by the first chapter.. I'm planning to read the others when I have time for it! :3
2. What TV, book, manga, or drama couple is your favorite right now?
Answer: Since I'm watching Yu-Gi-Oh currently with my Boyfriend I must say that Puppyshipping (SetoxJono/Joey) is my favorite couple right now! But there is also Cherik (CharlesxErik) from X-Men that I will probably never stop liking and obsessing about!
3. Do you have a favorite Kpop or Jpop band? Artist?

Q: How did you get into cosplay photography?
Neil: Kind of by accident. I first attended Manifest in its second year, in 2001. I took along my brand new video camera, not knowing really what to expect but being dimly aware that there might be people dressed up. Two things were quickly obvious to me: cosplay and cosplayers were awesome, and I'd need a better camera. It wasn't till 2004 that I could shoot cosplay with my first DSLR that I became completely hooked.
Q: How have cosplay meets and conventions changed since 2001?
Neil: They have changed so much! Mostly to get much much bigger and much more involved. I commented to Hayden at MelCosPho 13 that there were more people there than at the first Manifest. Back then, t

- will work with used PS4 games (the thing that it'd block used games was only a patent they made, which doesn't necessary mean they will ever implement it);
- is not backwards compatible with bought PS3 retail/digital games (you might be able to play them via the Gaikai streaming services, although I fear a repurchase of the respective titles is needed).
Ok, so I needed to state these 2 things first, because it's what counts the most and many persons don't know the truth.
I wanted to wait this much after the press conference to see the media reaction to it and also let the hype train leave me be so I can be more just in my statements, without being a total fanboy as I tend to be for each console separately, when they throw some amazing stuff at me. What drove me this excited was the idea of a new generation and the thought that blew me right into the image of the games I want to see in this new generation, because I just can't imagine how they'll be looking like.

Start to 2013: Cons/Cosplay/Other updatesWhat up guys. Finally sunk into me that it's 2013: brand new year, full of stuff to do. I have no doubt that it's gonna fly by before I know it so I wanted to update with some stuff that's been going on:Start to 2013: Cons/Cosplay/Other updates1 year ago in Personal More Like This
1. Kicked off the year with MelCosPho 13. Not gonna lie, it was probably one of the biggest gatherings of cosplayers in Melbourne since probably the last convention (Armageddon). Was insane as to how many people showed up, and for a social chameleon such as myself it was overwhelming not recognizing over 80% of the people there.
I used the meet to debut my first cosplay of the year: Afro Samurai! (Mugshot can be seen here -----> http://shinyspikes.deviantart.com/#/d5reqe8 ) It was actually supposed to be my first ever cosplay back at Armageddon 2011 and I was going to make it out of my old Taekwondo uniform (thank god I didn't omg). I had a lot of fun making a cosplay from scratch, thank you to :icondarcywilliam: for giving me the sword to modify and helping me weather the headband and

United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner
Eastern District of California
Citrus Heights Bookkeeper Pleads Guilty to $1.7 Million Fraud and Tax Evasion
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE | Friday, November 02, 2012 |
Docket #: 2:12-cr-174-GEB |
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Kathe Rascher, 53, of Citrus Heights, pleaded guilty today to one count of mail fraud and one count of tax evasion, United States Attorney Benjamin B. Wagner announced.
This case is the product of an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service-Criminal Investigation. Assistant United States Attorney S. Robert Tice-Raskin is prosecuting the case.
According to the plea agreement, Rascher, a bookkeeper for River Valley Insurance Associates Inc., defrauded her employer of more than $1.7 million. Rascher failed to disclose the embezzled income in May 2006 when she filed her federal tax returns for tax years 2004 and 2005.
According to court documents, Rascher wrote checks to herself and her family members from the River Valley bank account. In order to make it look like the checks were issued for legitimate expenses, she changed the name of the payees on the unauthorized checks in the accounting records, altered carbon copies of the checks, and created fictitious invoices. She also reviewed the monthly bank statements and cancelled checks sent to River Valley and deliberately removed and destroyed any returned unauthorized checks that had been issued to her and her family.
Rascher is scheduled to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Garland E. Burrell Jr. on January 18, 2013. Rascher faces a maximum statutory sentence of 20 years in prison for the mail fraud conviction and a fine of twice the gain or loss. The maximum statutory sentence for the tax evasion conviction is five years in prison and a $500,000 fine. The actual sentence, however, will be determined at the discretion of the court after consideration of any applicable statutory factors and the Federal Sentencing Guidelines, which take into account a number of variables. As part of the plea, Rascher has agreed to pay full restitution to River Valley for the loss.

Bennett's Chop & Railhouse
Online Reservations
This is a popular place with great food. I am so glad that we made a reservation because almost everyone arriving after us without a reservation had to wait up to an hour which is fine if you can sit at the bar. I can't wait to go there again and have the chef chop salad. My husband raved about how good his steak was. Great place with very good service.
I enjoyed the whole atmosphere of the restaurant. The service and food ( I had the lobster dinner) was excellent. It's an out of the way treasure! I would definitely recommend it to friends.
Cute place with white linen tableclothes, great meat menu, filets, new yorks, chops, old fashioned cocktail list that is superb. The service was outstanding... So near xcel energy center. I would definitely go here before or after a game, or a concert.
Good food, white table cloths, great service and a friendly environment. Can't go wrong.
First visit and it was a wonderful visit. I have drove by this place for years and opted to go as a celebration destination. Service was awesome, and food was great. Chicken Kiev was delicious and filet was cooked perfect. Additional members in our party had burgers and one enjoyed the all you can eat crab. The chopped salad is incredible as well as the beer cheese soup. Drink and wine menu was is a wonderful compliment to meal no mater what time you go.
This place is a hidden gem. Nesteled in a St. Paul neighborhood, you would never know the culinary masterpiece waiting inside. A must see, their menue has a wide variety. The steaks are what we love,but we plan to force ourselves to order something else next time.
OMG...some of the best food we've had in along time! All homemade! SUPERB! My husband and I went on a "date night" and this is the restaurant that I really wanted to go to. We had been there once before and thought it was wonderful. It's hard to find restaurants that have "home made" salad dressings, etc. We enjoyed every minute of our date night and every bite of our steaks done to perfection. We will be back again!
We found Bennetts last summer when we moved to St. Paul. We love the atmosphere and the food is great. The bartenders are a lot of fun and very attentive. We did have several of our group comment however that the wait staff seemed unhappy. It's never fun to have a waiter that doesn't seem to want to be there. That goes for Joe as well. When he drives the bus or tends bar, he seems uninterested. I think that an owner of a restaurant should greet his customers and thank them for coming in rather than ignoring everyone and standing with his back to us at the bar looking crabby. Not good customer service or customer relations. If it weren't for the bartenders and the free rides to all the games, we probably would find somewhere else to go.
It was our first time (all 4 of us), and we didn't know what to expect when we walked in the door. Well now we know to expect fabulous food, great prices, amazing and friendly service, and bartenders that make you feel right at home. We enjoyed ourselves so much we hung out at the bar for an hour after our meal. Thanks for a great evening! We'll be back - for sure, and we'll bring more friends.
The restaurant didn't look that nice when we arrived (typical bar/restaurant) but food was really good (4 different meals and apps at our table). We were not disappointed.
Friendly staff.... Lots of regulars.....clean! Great food.
With an extensive collection of burgers, all done perfectly, you can't go wrong. Walleye sandwich and their salads are great, too.
I went there expecting a restaurant atmosphere. More of a bar with tables. I wasn't sure what to expect when I first sat down. I ended up enjoying my dinner the steak was delicious and huge for the price. Loved my drinks and had a nice time there. I will go back again.
We chose this restaurant for a date night, and it was wonderful. We had the scallops appetizer and the crab cakes appetizer and both were delicious! For dinner we had the chicken kiev and the sirloin steak with au gratin potatoes, and don't forget the chop salad! So, so good!
Always a great choice - especially when I have someone new to dine with. Can't wait for their new menu!
The food at Bennett's is excellent! Bacon wrapped shrimp, and crab cake apps, and ribs that fall off the bone - so good!
We arrived early and received prompt seating outside. Near the street but wasn't noisy. Food was very good and drinks were good and generous. Good value
We celebrated 3 birthdays (2 @ 32 and 1 @ 2 years old!) on a Saturday night and had a marvelous time. We dined early since we had a little one with us who was very energetic. Our service was excellent and prompt, the food was delicious (scallops, steak, chicken kiev, Hoser fries) and good wine choices. We were seated in an excellent spot for an active 2 year old. We choose Bennetts for many of our family celebrations because it is such a friendly place with excellent food. A St. Paul gem!
Food was excellent. Steak was as ordered and outstanding. Service was friendly and efficient. Waitress was accommodating to special requests. Only slight negative was noice. We usually are in booths in corner which are quieter; this evening, we were in the middle of the restaurant which gets a lot of noise from the nearby bar; something to absorb noise or to separate dining area from bar is needed.
Bennett's has a great menu for food, beer, wine and drinks. You can easily make a reservation online or just call. Between us we had cheeseburgers, reuben's and salads. Everything was cooked perfectly to our order. VERY generous portions. The wait staff (ask for Cory) are so friendly and welcoming. Try the Mojito...very refreshing! Great beer selection. Joe Bennett came over to personally welcome us as well as drive us to our event at the Xcel! Free parking in his lot or on the street and a free ROUND TRIP ride to the door of the X! You CANNOT beat that deal. The bar was open when we got back for even more party time. I'm going back...again and again! Bring your friends and/or family. This is the place to be for great food & drinks!!!
The cajun chicken pasta was so wonderful and the other three in our party thoroughly enjoyed their meals as well. It was really loud so hard to hear across the booth so conversations were a little challenging.
The good is always very good. Don't necessarily be in a hurry to get out of there. Make reservations.
Food was amazing as always, service fabulous. We tried the martini's for the first time and they were exceptional.
We really enjoyed ort meal at Bennett's. The staff was wonderful (especially Cory and Tony :)) and the food was out of this world. We were celebrating my birthday and were completely satisfied. We enjoyed the personal attention. All of our food, beginning with the appetizer and ending with the most amazing triple layer carrot cake, was prepared fresh, at the time we ordered. It was amazingly good!
Bennett's menu is versatile and covers lots of ground. The atmosphere is casual/comfortable with a really good wait staff adding to the overall dining experience. My friend ordered the top sirloin steak...he said it was one of the best he'd ever had; and that is notable as he is a steak freak! An added "Bennetfit" is the complimentary bus providing transportation to/from Minnesota Wild games.
We love going to Bennett's before Wild games. The atmosphere is great, the food is wonderful, and you can't beat the free shuttle!
We thoroughly enjoyed our dinner at Bennett's! The food was moderately priced and was outstanding! The service was great!
Bennett's Signature Ribeye was the best steak I've ever had!! Delicious, perfect seasoning, incredibly tender and perfectly done. My husband & I each ate the 20 ounce special. It was great
Great specials. Friendly place with good value for the money.
Wow, the ambience isn't like that of a five-star dining room, but is absolutely comfortable enough. Where the ambience lacks is made up for by the wonderful service and the outstanding food. The menu choices are plentiful and you will absolutely find something that will fit your taste. I would say the crab legs special is maybe not their high point; would make another choice next time!
I had the Cajun Chicken Fettuccine, it was outstanding. Great service and wonderful food make this place a must on our regular restaurants.
We have been to Bennetts before and have enjoyed the food. Upscale food in a neighborhood setting. Wanted to try something different so my wife had the braised short ribs. BIG mistake they were fatty with alot of grissle and bone. Not much meat. Very disappointed. Definitely will return but not for the short ribs.
This was my first visit to Bennett's and I found it tobe a nice neighborhood gem, the food was excellent and the server was courteous and efficient. I'll definitely return to explore some the other items on the menu because they looked to be delicious.
Did not know what I would find at this restaurant, but was very pleasantly surprised! When we got there we thought we made a mistake as it had the feel of a older neighborhood sports bar when we walked in. We got seated towards a back corner to be a bit away from the noise of the bar, and then our server took over. He gave us great recommendations/descriptions of the menu items. Kept up the attentive and friendly service throughout our stay. Our group ordered steaks, seafood, and salads. All were supreme!
This is a place that I like going for happy hour or pregame for Wild. Food is excellent especially the 'Little Charlies'. I recommend to everyone and I have never been disappointed. Make a reservation for Wild games!! Free Shuttle and GO WILD!!
Loved the French Fries! Everything--from the scallops to the raspberry chicken salad-- we tried was a winner. And, our waitress, Tiffany, had excellent recommendations. We had great first visit and will definitely be back. It looks ordinary from the outside, but food is excellent.
Food and service are excellent. Only "discomfort" is if you're seated near the bar in this small restaurant and wish to have a quiet meal. There's no noise barrier between the bar and restaurant and it can be very noisy with TV sports and loud fans.
We found Bennett's through OpenTable and had a fantastic experience this past Saturday afternoon. The outside of the building was deceptively low class, but the inside matched our high expectations of other OpenTable restaurants. The inside smelled clean, the tables were nice, the burger was delicious, the steak was even more delicious, the carrot cake was amazing, and we could tell our waitress loved working there - simply put, the overall experience was great - we'll be back again when we're in the area.
The food here was very good and the service was excellent. We'll be likely having our Groom's Dinner here because it was exactly what we were looking for: great food and cocktails, excellent food and a old school ambiance.
We stopped here for dinner on the way to a concert. Our waitress was fantastic. They have some great cocktail specialties, and our food was delicious.
Restaurant was lively and staff very friendly. Food was satisfactory however fell short of expectations. Cocktails were good and appetizers were delicious however the prime rib and lobster roll were mediocre at best. Will try something different next time we visit.
Great service and very friendly staff. The filet was excellent. The bartender recommended the sirloin - was decent for sirloin but best to stick to the filet if you want a good steak. It is not a fancy place, but solid food and service. Good old-school feel and value.
We picked it for the courtesy shuttle to Elton John. My husband said his NY strip was best steak he's had in a long time
So nice to have the shuttle service to the Excel and the staff works with you so you eat and get on the shuttle on time.
We had a great time having dinner with Family and headed to see the Wild beat the Flyers.
tried it last night for first time and had a really fun dinner... waiter was wonderful, other guests were there for dinner before a Jimmy Buffett concert so the atmosphere was really festive! my filet was excellent. would go back again!
4 Ladies tried Bennett's because they were a featured restaurant of the Ordway. The restaurant is in a residential area. The parking lot was full with 3 cars and their shuttle bus. The outside looked like a small, old neighborhood bar. We decided we would go inside and leave if we didn't like the place. We arrived at 5:30 on a Friday night and the restaurant was almost empty, but the bar had patrons. It was noisy and the cold air hit us when the door opened. The Bar had a large selection to choose from. 2 of us had Steak and Au Gratin potato's and the other 2 had the chopped salad. We all loved the food! The potatoes were outstanding, The restaurant was full when we left. The shuttle got us to the show and picked us up right on time. Bravo!
my new york strip was really good. table we had was right next to door so we were cold the entire time. Call ahead as it was really busy. will go back for sure.
Bennett's is not nearly as fancy as Manny's, but the steaks are better. Best bernaise in the twin cities, and a warm, vintage (in a good way) environment.
We had only been here one other time and really enjoyed it so we thought we'd try it again. We were so glad that we did! Great food and wonderful service, Corey was fabulous!!!

I've recently downloaded the PC version of KO2, and bought myself a Speedlink Competition Pro USB joystick so I can get some much (much) needed practice in ahead of the World Cup.
But the KO2 game doesn't want to recognise the joystick - even though the PC driver can see it. When I load the game I also get a weird message telling me that the "WINUAE could not create Registry Keys! You need administrator privileges"
Don't know what's going on, but desperate to play. All help is greatly appreciated...

Before I say anything. If you have not heard of http://magicalsleight.com/ then click that link and go buy every product. On a more serious note, Magical Sleight is a website that releases amazing material at very reasonable prices.
Surround by Yoann
Take a look - http://magicalsleight.com/index.php?...trick=SURROUND
What they say
"In this download you will get a set of 3 originals controls which have been designed by Yoann. Many applications can be done from this particular mechanic. In addition to these moves, 2 clever stand up tricks are revealed.
Pole : a powerful control which is done when you pretend to show the faces of the cards.
Rumble : you control the card on the top of the deck when you dribble the cards.
Sub : an easy to use control and a convincing sequence for losing a card in the deck.
Dolly : this two cards transposition is very easy to do and easy to integrate in a routine such the effect is quick and smooth.
E-try : a beautiful version of the triumph effect with a particular high economy of moves."
Pole - This control like all the others require practice. I am yet to perfect this, but it is one of those controls that needs to be done very smoothly to look good. Its not hard to do if you practice often. Like I said what really counts in this control is the fluidity and the smoothness.
Sub - This is not my favorite control on the download but it is still deceptive and has a nice flow to it. There is a nice transposition using this control which looks really good. The transposition is called Dolly.
Rumble - Although the hardest control in the download it is probably my favorite. It is very clever and is reminiscent of Charlie Millers Cascade Control. It has a completely different method though. I would have paid the price of the whole download for this one control.
E-Try - This is an insanely cool Triumph routine. If you are into modern flashy magic. This. Is. For. You.
Link - http://magicalsleight.com/index.php?...trick=SURROUND
Price - 6.95
If you have ANY questions please do not hesitate to ask. - #2
Sub is so easy! I just figured it out from the performance, although it is a nice and deceptive top control

It's an great country estate with lots of room for entertaining and a kitchen that lends itself to informal gatherings. This home is listed at $9.3 million.

Now that the wave 5 cards are released upon us I thought I'd pester you with some questions regarding Gok and Mizuchi. Namely:
Conspiracy of he Cult: I suppose this is the same as the ability Gengo has. Does it have any range or LoS limit?
Dark Mutation: Can he use this several times in a round to get more than one of the options? (Does the Str +1 stack?)
Cloud of Flies: How long does it last? Just the next exchange, the current activation, to the end phase? Does all enemies entering BtB suffer it, or just those alredy in BtB?
Fog of Hesitation: Does it affect one or all models in the aura? If just one, why is at an aura?
Spirit link: Is it restricted by range or LoS, or can he leech from any allied model anywhere on the table?
Tail swipe: Do I read this rightly to mean that tail swipe is an alternate weapon only usable when the model is active and makes a melee attack/charge, and not some sort of free attack whenever he activates?

Comments about Pittsburgh 4 Piece Wood Chisel Set:
For only [$] you can't really complain about them. They may not be the best chisels out there and may not be made out of the toughest material but they get the job done

Takes a ton of abuse
By steph
from Boulder, Co
About Me Professional
I am woodcarver of large pieces and I use these for almost all my rough first pass work. They have never folded over on the tip, the handles have never broke regardless of the hammer I use, and at [$] whenever they go on special they can not be beat. As long as you keep them on wood they will last forever.

Great product at an excellent price!
By Odman

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
This chisel set's quality and worksmanship far exceeds my expectations. They are very sharp right out of the box and stay sharp for the tasks I threw at them. As to the PVC handles, I couldn't find anything wrong with them, other than the fact perhaps to some, the handles may not be as aesthetically appealing as nicely stained wood handles. But I believe they are actually stronger and more durable than most wood handles on chisels available at this price range.At HF's sales price, this set is a steal. I will probably get a second set.

Bought it for abuse
By Brian
from Undisclosed
I bought these not for your grandfather's fine woodworking, but for abuse that would make Bob Vila have a heart attack. Bought them for chiseling out layers of floor (hardboard, linoleum, staples, nails, and cement board) and it is working great. Haven t tried the finer ones, only the big one and only with a big hammer. They are standing up to the abuse and they are still nice and sharp. Impressive quality and better than other sets I've seen. Don't let that plastic fool you, go ahead and hammer away.
4 for the money
By Bojangles
from Lansing, MI
Although they were VERY sharp out of the package, the edge on the 1/4'' has quite a few knicks in it...from paring pine. But for the money, they get the job done. -They'll get you good at sharpening if you're not already.
Good quality and it gets the job done

Not too shabby
By Bob E
I'm not crazy about the handles, but these chisels are a whole lot better than the ones from the local home repair center that I was trying to keep sharp before I bought these. These ones stay sharp.

text: Oh man. The All-Star break couldn't be coming at a better time for many fantasy owners as some of the top players in the game are getting waxed by the injury bug and we've only just begun the supposed dog days of summer. Throughout this week we've seen the likes of Jason Heyward and Matt Holliday go down with hamstring injuries, Yu Darvish hit the DL with an issue in his trapezius muscle, Matt Harvey lose a start this weekend with a finger blister, and both Aramis Ramirez and Matt Kemp make a return to the disabled list thanks to a knee and a shoulder, respectively. Brutal, right? Well, it doesn't end there.

I've almost bought them before, but they sold out before I completed my check out.

This baby swing is ideal for newborn babies it has a padded seating area. It plays relaxing sounds and has a speed control. Can be used either indoors or outside to gently lull your baby to sleep. The swing folds for transportation or for storage whilst not in use.
Our exclusive Baby Weavers brand stands for great quality at a great price. What started out as a line of luxury nursing chairs - at half the competition's prices - has grown into a bestselling range of 250 pushchairs, prams, car seats, furniture and bedding. Loved by customers, loved by colleagues; it has a special place in the Kiddicare heritage as it's named after the children of the founding Weavers family.
Service is brilliant. I would pay 20 pounds, it's because of material. Music good, but my baby girl doesn't like to sleep in it. She doesn't like to be trapped in it, somebody mentioned it's good when you need to go to kitchen or toilet, then you feel safely about baby. My baby girl likes just swine. I hope that for couple of months I can use it, in another case I can sell for somebody, maybe other babies will be happier than mine.
It is a lovely unisex colour and can be used for both boy or girl. Great for parents who wish to wait to find out the sex of their baby. The music isn't exactly a lullaby but is great as can be turned up or down. Also the swinging motion is great as their are 3 different speeds.
Great product and good price. Good for when your baby needs some chill time. Music a little random but my baby seems to like it. Nice and neutral but nice pattern. My baby loves it when he needs to be entertained but to tired to entertain himself before he drops off. The only reason its not a 5 is that the fabric is not soft but that makes is easy wipe clean. It does not have a toy arch though!
Brilliant...granddaughter sleeps when she is in this.
We bought this for our 3 month old; he loves to be rocked to sleep for daytime naps but is on the 98th percentile for weight (and height) so this can be hard going on our arms! The chair arrived promptly and was easy to assemble although you do need 4x 'C' batteries, these are not included. Although we have only had the chair for a short time, our son loves it and is perfectly happy to be rocked to sleep in it. We did a lot of research before we bought this one and are happy with our purchase. It is much cheaper than a lot of swing chairs we saw and should last a bit longer too, although I would imagine my son will have outgrown it by 6 months, not the 9 months it states, but at least we haven't paid a ridiculous price for it and I think he'll get plenty of use out of it in the months to come.

He had to attend a funeral service.
But Peters isn't mourning a family member or even a constituent. He flew to Boston as an invited guest at the memorial for John Kenneth Galbraith, whose roots ran deep in his Elgin-Middlesex-London riding.
Galbraith, of course, was one of the leading economists of the last century and an influential adviser to U.S. presidents Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, as well as a recipient of the Presidential Medal of Freedom from both Truman and Bill Clinton. He died last month at the age of 97.
Peters, a former St. Thomas mayor, got to know Galbraith, who was born in Iona Station in 1908, when the young municipal politician sought the legendary thinker's advice on civic matters.
"John was a big opponent of municipal amalgamation. He understood the importance of communities and a local identity," the minister remembered Tuesday night before racing to catch a flight to Boston.
He also appreciated - as Peters does (and some provincial and federal elected officials forget) - that all politics is local.

HalfPenny Technologies Is In The Business Of Saving Lives
Most healthcare professionals will have heard of Half Penny. This company has been making big waves in the medical industry. More specifically, it has been spearheading great technological innovations in the field of medical data exchange. These innovations are set to change the face of the healthcare industry forever and save millions of lives.
Halfpenny Technologies' biggest contribution to the medical industry is arguable in the field of LOINC mapping technology. In short, this technology aims to establish a universal software coding standard for all information databases in the medical world to ensure that medical research and healthcare records can be freely exchanged between various healthcare institutions. How does this promote the saving of lives? Read on to find out.
First of all, LOINC mapping technology is likely to lead to further breakthroughs in the medical field. As medical researchers and doctors around the world are able to share their findings and records, scientists will have much more information at their disposal. This global information exchange makes medical research much more efficient and enables every healthcare professional to work together to discover new medicines and treatment methods for the welfare of all mankind.
Moreover, LOINC mapping technology will enable government authorities to clamp down much more effectively on disease epidemics. With a global medical information database, news of a concentrated outbreak of infectious disease in any region of the world will spread like wildfire. This will enable authorities in the affected countries to enact a contingency plan while governments in other regions take precautions to prevent the epidemic from spreading to their own countries. Lethal epidemics such as the SARS outbreak in 2003 may become a thing of the past.
Even if you don't understand the technical workings of LOINC mapping technology, you will be able to appreciate the tremendous implications Half Penny's research will have on the medical world. Like any honorable healthcare institution, Halfpenny Technologies is in the business of saving lives.

A few months ago, we spent a weekend at the Papago International Resort in Taitung and it turned out to be one of the best vacations I've ever had in Taiwan.
We took the train from Taipei to Taitung, which makes it a lot easier on me since driving there would have been real stressful and tiring. By car on a good day without much traffic... at least 6 hours, .
The other great thing about taking the train is I get to enjoy the beautiful scenery that the east coast has to offer.
Also, Olivia really loves the ride the train. Just look at her, she can hardly contain her excitement! :P
We arrived in Chishang (Taitung County) just before noon. Since it was almost lunch time and the area is known for their rice; the first order of business was to buy some lunch boxes.
The lunch box. There was a line-up at the store so it has to be good, right?
Right. It lived up to its billing. The rice was so good!
After lunch, we made our way to the resort. Not the best weather but at least it wasn't raining.
Our room wasn't ready, so we walked around the resort a bit to check things out. Here's Olivia pretending to taking a nap.
The resort would make a great place for outdoor weddings.
After we checked into our rooms, it was time to hit the pool!
After a couple hours playing in the pool, it was time to get back to the room.
All in a hard day's work.

Very beautiful, but seeing the empty pool was funny - so typical for Taiwan. :-)

Stefan... yes! the pools are usually empty in most of the hotels / resorts we've stayed at here in taiwan. there was one hotel we stayed at where the pool had quite a lot of people, but it was of course an indoor pool! people look at me like i'm crazy when i'm just lying there shirtless next to the pool soaking up the sun. "oh my god, is he trying to get a tan??? does he know he will look darker???"

When they look at my pasty white face lying in the sun they don't batter an eye. It's almost as if they agree I need more shade to me!
It's looks really nice there! I hope to do more travel around Taiwan when my daughter is a bit older.
And Olivia is so cute!

Terry, funny u would say that. a lot of times the other people that would brave the sun in these pools along with me have been foreigners.
thanks you! :) - Thursday, May 24, 2012 2:35:00 PM
- MJ Klein said...
hey Chelsea, when i see a pasty white face, i leave them alone because i think they're dead!
Stefan, the pool is open, and there's nobody in it! better for us who don't care about the darkness of our skin!
i cannot understand why people would rather look like death, than risk someone thinking they might be a laborer or not an office worker. duh. - Thursday, May 24, 2012 2:40:00 PM
- Andre said...
MJ... yes, one of the best things about this fear of the sun is we get the pool all to ourselves!
- Thursday, May 24, 2012 7:28:00 PM
- ChelseaTaiwan said...
Can't argue with that.
Thanks for the free pool office workers. - Thursday, May 24, 2012 7:51:00 PM
- StefanMuc said...
Yeah, I enjoy the empty pools, too. I remember in Singapore we had this absolutely amazing pool behind our friend's condo - just me and my wife were using it. Twice a day and all alone. :-)
On the other hand, the western excessive tanning fad is even more silly than the Taiwanese "no ray of sunlight shall reach my skin" approach. Skin cancer is not such a great idea either.
I think there's a happy middle somewhere. - Saturday, May 26, 2012 1:50:00 AM

Located just 90 miles from New York City, Iroquois Springs is the site of the finest in sleep away camp experiences for girls and boys since 1931. Owned and directed by Mark and Laura Newfield, Iroquois Springs is simply an extraordinary place for children!
At Iroquois Springs children build confidence, life-long friendships, and find new and exciting challenges that stimulate their minds as well as their bodies. But the real magic of Iroquois Springs lies in its people - the administration and staff, the campers and alumni.
