Enjoyed this game immensely. The story is OK, the HO areas have a pleasant twist to them, and the puzzles don't require a triple digit IQ to solve. Great way to spend some free time. See more See less

Cont Mhlanga Feedom to Create Prize 2008 Winner.
Following the success of last years inaugural prize, the 2009
Orient Global Freedom to Create Prize
was announced in London. This unique prize honours artists on the frontlines who promote social justice, build foundations for open societies and inspire the human spirit.
Commenting on the launch Orient Global Chairman, Richard F. Chandler, said: History shows that prosperous societies are founded upon creativity. Societies that encourage artistic expression build strong foundations for economic, political and cultural development. They will lead tomorrows world.
He added The Orient Global Freedom to Create Prize celebrates the talent of artists who bring messages of hope to places of turmoil and despair. It also recognises their courage to confront injustice in circumstances where there are visible costs and less visible rewards. They inspire the human spirit and nourish the creativity needed for progress.
The Orient Global Freedom to Create Prize is an international award established in 2008. The Prize consists of three categories: the Main Prize, open to individuals or artistic groups in all creative fields; the Youth Prize, open to artists under the age of 18; and the Imprisoned Artist Prize, focusing on artists who are currently imprisoned for their artwork. The total prize fund is US$ 125,000 which will be divided between the winning artists and their nominated advocacy organisations to further the cause their artwork has highlighted.
The winner of the 2008 Prize was Cont Mhlanga, a controversial Zimbabwean playwright who has risked his life challenging the Mugabe dictatorship for over 25 years. His winning submission was a politically charged satire The Good President, presents a fictionalised account of a ruthless dictator, but closely mirrored recent events in Zimbabwe.
The 2008 Imprisoned Artist Prize winner was Burmese satirist Zarganar, imprisoned for 35 years for mocking the Burmese government in the wake of Cyclone Nargis. The Youth Prize was awarded to City of Rhyme, a hip-hop group from the Brazilian favelas.
Open to all artists, and with just one month to go until the closing date of 14 August, there have already been over 500 entries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. A shortlist will be announced at the beginning of September and judging will take place over the following weeks.

Summary: Minor fixes to PHP base class. Fixed: An issue with an old version of WP_PluginBase, the PHP class which WP Nokia Auth extends.
- First version of WP Nokia Auth released
How do I get help or support for this plugin?
In short, very easily. But before you read any further, take a look at Asking For WordPress Plugin Help And Support Without Tears before firing off a question. In order of preference, you can ask a question on the WordPress support forum; this is by far the best way so that other users can follow the conversation. You can ask me a question on Twitter; I'm @vicchi. Or you can drop me an email instead. I can't promise to answer your question but I do promise to answer and do my best to help.
Is there a web site for this plugin?
Absolutely. Go to the WP Nokia Auth home page for the latest information. There's also the official WordPress plugin repository page and the source for the plugin is on GitHub as well.
Nokia Maps? Really?
Yes. Really. At the time of writing (April 2012) 196 countries, 75M Places, 2.4M map changes a day. That sort of really. All available through a set of developer friendly APIs.
OK. Nokia Maps. I get it. But why register?
The Nokia Location APIs work if you don't register. But they work even better and you can do even more if you do register. Take transactional limits. Unregistered users of the Location APIs get 1 million transactions over a lifetime. 1 million sounds a lot but it soon mounts up. Registered users get 2 million transactions. Per month. Plus a whole lot more.
Why are you so pro Nokia Maps?
A disclaimer is in order. I work for Nokia's Location & Commerce group, that produces Nokia Maps. I see what goes into the map and what gets displayed. I'm very pro Nokia Maps for just this reason.
I want to amend/hack/augment this plugin; can I do the same?
Totally; this plugin is licensed under the GNU General Public License v2 (GPLV2). See http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.txt for the full license terms.

Quixote's World
Chef Miguel López Castanier creates a recipe reminiscent of Cervantes's era
En español | In Don Quixote, the knight-errant and his squire, Sancho Panza, come to life through Miguel de Cervantes's narrative genius. Many a writer has tried to emulate the Spanish author's style. Chef Miguel López Castanier, owner of Madrid's La Taberna de Liria, goes one step further, creating a recipe reminiscent of Cervantes's era for AARP VIVA. Enjoy.
Sardinas escabechadas de Alcalá à la Sancho Panza
This recipe was given to me yesterday by a relative who is not much inclined to telling the truth, but whose lies never exceed a hundred per year. And because this year he has more than surpassed that number, I am sort of persuaded to trust his word. The page seems to date to the time when Sancho Panza traveled to Alcalá de Henares to receive his Doctor Honoris Causa, an occasion on which Don Quixote escorted him.
With my nerves in a devil of a mess and my master immersed in his chivalric studies, I strolled to the small market next door. Amid the shouting, rolled-up skirts, straw pants, lies and chivalry, I devoted a few minutes to the noble art of bargaining. And when the noble ladies making their purchases swore at me, I dismissed their lack of wisdom and focused on the business at hand of saving a few maravedíes.
While my master wasted his time fencing with an oak tree, which he accused of practicing magic, I peeled and cut as thinly as I could the onions and the garlic cloves reddened by these Henares lands. And in a pot, at a not-too-high heat, with two tablespoons of good aged olive oil, I put the garlic to brown. After one or two minutes, I added the onion, so fat it weighed almost a pound. I let this cook for about 15 minutes, stirring at times, until tender.
Sobbing, partly due to the sting of the onion and partly due to laughing so hard at the excited children who surrounded Don Quixote, I cleaned the head, backbone and scales of the small sardines. I like them just the right size, rather than huge, from the bay or the beach. Then I set them aside for later.
This was the moment to add the spices and herbs, to leave them two or three minutes on the heat and then pour in the vinegar, which some people water down and pretend is good aged wine. Three minutes later we added the white wine. We salted the sardines and, at the count of five minutes, give or take a second, we placed the small fish filets in the stock. We stirred them, brought them to a boil and covered them, turning off the heat so they could cook slowly in their tender innocence.
Meanwhile, we made the bread, salads and sauces to dress the sardines. As I assisted this work with a little sip of wine, and my master continued righting the latest wrongs, I readied my belly for the sweet drowsiness that comes after a royal feast.

After the tyre-explosive British grand prix, formula one can look forward to a calmer weekend at the Nurburgring.
Pirelli has announced that in Germany it will supply teams with kevlar rather than the steel-belted tyres that exploded at Silverstone.
The Italian marque also said the teams' habits of swapping the left and right rear tyres, and running unrecommended tyre pressures and cambers, caused the problems.
And Germany's Bild newspaper published a photo of a sharp kerb, covered with black tyre markings, that could have contributed to the rear tyre failures seen last weekend.
Silverstone boss Derek Warwick, however, slammed as "absolute rubbish" the suggestion the Northamptonshire circuit was to blame for the chaos.
"These kerbs have been in since 2009 and we have had thousands and thousands of cars go over them and were absolutely fine," the track-owning British Racing Drivers' Club president told Sky.
Retired F1 veteran Rubens Barrichello, however, believes the unique characteristics of Silverstone may have contributed to the tyre failures.
"The concern at Silverstone is about the high speed corners and the (effect they have on the) tyre temperatures," he told Brazil's Totalrace.
"It shouldn't happen at the Nurburgring," added Barrichello.
Ferrari reserve driver Pedro de la Rosa agrees.
"For sure, tyres will play a major role in Germany," the Spaniard is quoted by Speed Week.
"But in general, the tyres are less stressed at the Nurburgring than they are at Silverstone.
"For that reason alone I can't imagine we get a repeat of the events of England," he added.
In the heat of the Silverstone tyre crisis, teams and drivers admitted a boycott of this weekend's action in Germany was a possibility.
The Nurburgring organisers, however, are not worried.
Insisting that safety is "of course important", a spokesman for the circuit said tyre problems have nothing to do with the circuits.
"It's up to the FIA and formula one itself to solve this problem," the spokesman told Germany's Sport1.
"Our preparations for the weekend are uninterrupted and in full swing, and we expect that everyone will be at the start as planned on Sunday."

Philip Morris - taken June, 1998-
Fifth Avenue and East 20th Street
The New York Times had quoted me in 1998 as calling these signs "tombstones." Although I was taken out of context (I see most of these signs as signs of life, metaphors for survival) -this particular sign does have a tombstone quality.
Now in retrospect, the ghostly image of the World Trade Center in the distance is haunting.

Burgers, fries and shakes – can you get more American than that? Not at the Sno-White Drive-In in Modesto.
Foster's Freeze in Manteca has a 54-year history, but the presence of a drive-through restaurant at the corner of Yosemite and Walnut avenues dates back to the 1930s.
In a remote place called Volcano in the Sierra foothills, Mother Nature every year magically lays out a thick carpet of golden yellow made even more vivid by spring's solid sunshine.
Spring has sprung – well, not exactly but it sure feels like it. As locals head outside to enjoy the pleasant weather and put their concerns about the ongoing drought in California to the back of their minds, the outdoor parks are an excellent place to ring in the new season.
It's a hit-or-miss proposition.
While many children enjoy playing in the backyard as the weather warms up, the City of Modesto offers locals a slightly more unique outdoor experience: 500 acres along the Tuolumne River.
RIPON – Ripon Christian Schools has consistently sent 98 percent of its graduates on to college – a record that has continued into the 21st century.
TURLOCK - Not everyone who goes to a Christian school is Christian.
MODESTO – There it was right there practically in his backyard.
MODESTO - When Melissa Besseling came to Central Catholic High School in 1996 as a mid-year replacement math teacher, she did not anticipate that she would become principal.

Annie: 30th Anniversary Sing-Along Edition Blu-ray Review
Buy Annie: 30th Anniversary Blu-ray from Amazon.com
The 1982 musical film Annie has an unusual history that involves a number of mediums and stretches back nearly one hundred years. For its third printing, the 1885 American poem "The Elf Child" by James Whitcomb was retitled "Little Orphant Allie", but a typecasting error rendered it "Little Orphant Annie." Forty years later, in 1924, that four-stanza, The comic continued appearing in newspapers all over, when in 1977, writer Thomas Meehan (whose few credits came from Anne Bancroft television specials), Bye Bye Birdie composer Charles Strouse, and lyricist Martin Charnin adapted it into a Broadway musical. The winner of seven Tony Awards including Best Musical, Annie was a huge hit on the stage, running for six years and multiple tours in North America and abroad. A hit of that size inevitably paved the way for a film version and in 1982, the world got that, courtesy of screenwriter Carol Sobieski and legendary director John Huston.
Set in and around New York City during the Great Depression, Annie opens in a girls' orphanage run by the needy, alcoholic, inhospitable Miss Hannigan (Carol Burnett). It is an awful place for children to grow up and yet these girls look out for one another, their common situation and shared dislike of their unfit guardian cushioning the blows of their grim, laborious existence.
Freckled, redheaded 10-year-old Annie (Aileen Quinn) is more cheerful than she has any right to be. After she is caught in her latest escape attempt, things pick up for her when Grace Farrell (Ann Reinking) chooses Annie as the orphan with whom her boss, influential local billionaire Oliver Warbucks (Albert Finney), will take in for a week. It's a flimsy premise seemingly destined for a painful parting, but being welcomed into Warbucks' vast estate is a fairy tale turn of events for the spirited, street-smart Annie and her newly-adopted mongrel Sandy. The bald, bold Warbucks initially resists a girl orphan, but he soon comes to warm to her and aims to make his wardship permanent.
Though grateful, Annie wishes to reconnect with her birth parents, whom she is certain will return as promised with the missing part of the broken locket she proudly wears. Warbucks uses some of his wealth, resources, and connections to conduct a nationwide search for Annie's parents. All he and Grace can find though are phonies smelling a lucrative opportunity. The most promising lead in the search is the appearance of a couple from New Jersey (Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters) with the missing locket piece. Alas, we alone know them as deceitful associates of Miss Hannigan with sketchy motives.
Annie opens feeling very staged and stilted, with its young, adorable orphans singing and dancing about their hard-knock life. There is only so much genuine emotion you can expect from young child actors, particularly those jaded by countless casting sessions and auditions. Quinn at least emerges as both a talented singer and charismatic protagonist, although neither is as essential to the film's success as the title would suggest. John Huston is no better suited to directing this than Robert Altman was to making Popeye two years earlier. Nonetheless, the songs are catchy and energetic. The sets and settings, ranging from Warbucks' nicely-photographed immense mansion to the dumpy yet livelier orphanage, inject flavor. You're well aware that you aren't watching great art, but irresistible entertainment that doesn't pretend to be more than that. Sure, it does more for your eyes and ears than your heart and head, but appealing musical cinema has been hard enough to find in the past several decades that you're bound to appreciate this even while acknowledging its obvious limitations.
It's been thirty years since Annie won over moviegoers to the tune of $57 million (the equivalent of $156 M at today's ticket prices), the tenth highest gross of 1982. Nominated for two Oscars (art direction and original song score), Annie would win just two minor honors of opposite meaning, with Aileen Quinn winning both the Young Artist Award for Best Motion Picture Actress and the Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actress. (Keep in mind, the same Razzies nominated Stanley Kubrick as Worst Director two years earlier for The Shining.) The pearl anniversary is reason enough for Annie to have recently come to Blu-ray in a disc dubbed both 30th Anniversary and Sing-Along Edition. VIDEO and AUDIO
Annie is one of those movies that have frustrated DVD collectors over the years, because distributor Sony has repeatedly released it to DVD in a 1.33:1 pan & scan presentation, a heavily compromised reframing of the film's wide Oscar-nominated visuals. The movie's original DVD release back in 2000 upheld the film's original 2.40:1 theatrical aspect ratio (along with the pan & scan), albeit with some reported framing issues. But it was discontinued and replaced by a Special Anniversary Edition in 2004 (commemorating the film's all-important 22nd anniversary) that inconceivably only offered the film in so-called "full screen", a format increasingly misnamed with the rise of 16:9 widescreen displays. A 2005 Double Feature (repackaged in 2010) that paired it with the little-known 1995 made-for-TV sequel Annie: A Royal Adventure hung onto the 1.33:1 DVD, which was missing over 40% of the intended picture.
Gladly, this new release puts the aspect ratio issue to bed at least for those who have upgraded to Blu-ray. Annie appears in its proper 2.40:1, looking better than it ever has before. The element is spotless, surprising considering its age. Certain shots and parts of shots are slightly lacking in focus and most display a fitting amount of grain. The colors are not as vivid as a 2012 film. But accepting those production realities, this is a highly satisfying transfer.
The 5.1 DTS-HD master audio also undoubtedly takes the film to new heights. The soundtrack's biggest concern may be the disparity between the aged dialogue recordings and the potent musical numbers. The latter infuse the film with bass, depth, and impact otherwise lacking. I suspect this may be true to the original design. I'm not old enough to know that or familiar enough with Annie to say how that compares to its DVD releases. It's not a problem per se and the track satisfies, especially by keeping the volume range reasonable.
BONUS FEATURES, MENUS, PACKAGING and DESIGN
The one area where this new disc might be considered inferior to the movie's in-print DVD is in bonus features. Sony scales back offerings that didn't run very deep to begin with.
The top-billed extra is the one from which the Blu-ray takes one of its monikers. "Sing-Along with Annie!" gives you the chance to watch the entire film with lyric subtitles appearing over the music numbers. These are at least more creative than standard subtitles, with a red rounded rectangle holding black words that turn white around the same time they are sung. You can also choose to view any of the seventeen songs given this obvious treatment on their own, but the menu doesn't think to supply "Play All" and "Random Play" options that would have added value. Next up is "My Hollywood Adventure with Aileen Quinn" (12:04), a 2003-ish featurette that catches up with the woman who played Annie in this film. She shares her experience in direct camera addresses, speaking with young viewers in mind. Her fond reflections from a night-lit city set are complemented by behind-the-scenes production photos as well as excerpts of her screen test and a casting announcement press conference. It's an excellent piece and one that, ironically considering the DVD for which it was made, is in widescreen along with the film clips it features.
"Musical Performance by Play" (3:20) isn't a performance from the Broadway musical. Instead, it is a 2003 music video for young girl band Play's pop cover of Annie's "It's the Hard-Knock Life." Four trendy teenaged girls, apparently all Swedes and since disbanded, sing on city sets among clips from the movie. It seems like an adequate substitute for Jay-Z's "Hard Knock Life (Ghetto Anthem)", which might have been welcome here if not for its less family-friendliness.
"Trailers & TV Spots" serves up the original theatrical trailer (3:39), a behind-the-scenes teaser (2:18), and three 30-60-second TV spots (2:09) for Annie. Original marketing materials aren't often preserved by Sony, so these fine early '80s-styled ads are a welcome treat, especially in their improbably presentable HD state here. Sadly, there is no trailer for Annie: A Royal Adventure found here.
Lost from the Special Anniversary Edition DVD are "The Age of Annie" trivia game, "Sing Along with Annie!" and "Act Along with Annie!" Unlike the lyrics mode offered here, the "Sing Along" feature also treated you to karaoke-type versions of three songs from the movie without vocals. The menu's "Previews" listing plays a trailer for Arthur Christmas.
The lively menu plays clips on a stage bordered by blinking lights and joined by a rotation of character stills. This being a Sony release, the BD kindly both supports bookmarks and resuming playback.
The set's final inclusion is found on the insert in the side-snapped keepcase which boasts Sony's usual double-sided cover art: directions and a unique code for accessing an UltraViolet stream of the movie. The prospect of "your movies in the cloud" does nothing for me and the public has voiced their preference for hard files digital copies over streams that rely on networks and multiple companies. Still, those who occasionally find a disc, player, and television too cumbersome might appreciate the treatment extended to something other than a brand new movie.
The upbeat, innocent Annie is an easy target for ridicule, but it's also a reliable source of musical entertainment that is capably transferred to the big screen. Though a tad overlong and a bit underwhelming in several places, the film offers more than enough fun to overlook its faults.
Though Sony's Blu-ray is light in the extras department and loses some items from the DVD releases, its handful of supplements will satisfy most viewers. More important than that is at last the film is treated to a respectable feature presentation, with original widescreen framing and terrific picture and sound. Between that and the low list price, this earns a no-brainer recommendation for fans of the film and of musicals in general.

heavily stylized poem would inspire Little Orphan Annie, a daily comic strip by Harold Gray. Gray's strip would outlive him by over forty years, only being cancelled in 2010. At the height of its popularity in the 1930s, the syndicated comic strip would become a radio program and two major studio movies, neither well received.
Annie's infectious optimism transforms the business-minded Warbucks into the "Daddy" we know him as. Who among us will not want this sweet little girl dealt a bad hand to get out of scrapes and avoid the harm that nasty adults like Miss Hannigan inflict upon her?

Also, despite the bevy of foreign dubs and subtitles offered, this feature is strictly available in English.
"Act Along", introduced by Quinn, did the same for three scenes, with you getting to perform Annie's dialogue. Dropped from the movie's original DVD are "Talent Files" for Huston and actors, a gallery of eight lobby cards, and a booklet of production notes. All of it would have been nice to have here, but none of it sounds like a deal-breaker. It is a bit surprising that, given the family film status Sony has always assigned it, that they didn't offer this as a Blu-ray + DVD combo pack, which could have salvaged some of these casualties. It's also disappointing that the studio still hasn't managed to include PBS' in-depth hour-long 1982 making-of documentary "Lights, Camera, Annie!" (which supposedly they have rights to, but cannot find the master of).

The European Court of Justice, National Governments, and Legal Integration in the European Union
We develop a game theoretic model of the conditions under which the European Court of Justice can be expected to take "adverse judgments" against European Union member governments and when the governments are likely to abide by these decisions. The model generates three hypotheses. First, the greater the clarity of EU case law precedent, the lesser the likelihood that the Court will tailor its decisions to the anticipated reactions of member governments. Second, the greater the domestic costs of an ECJ ruling to a litigant government, the lesser the likelihood that the litigant government will abide by it (and hence the lesser the likelihood that the Court will make such a ruling). Third, the greater the activism of the ECJ and the larger the number of member governments adversely affected by it, the greater the likelihood that responses by litigant governments will move from individual noncompliance to coordinated retaliation through new legislation or treaty revisions. These hypotheses are tested against three broad lines of case law central to ECJ jurisprudence: bans on agricultural imports, application of principles of equal treatment of the sexes to occupational pensions, and state liability for violation of EU law. The empirical analysis supports our view that though influenced by legal precedent, the ECJ also takes into account the anticipated reactions of member governments.

Please bare with me, I am not a photographer by any means. Glass is dirty, water is cloudy. I put in the salt, buffer, African Cichlid gravel. I think this picture is with only 1 T-5 strip light with a blue and white light. I added another one. Which makes.......2 strips with 4 lights total. 2 blue and 2 white. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...le1232/111.jpg I was trying different things with the lace rock. Right side. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...le1232/112.jpg Left side of the 1st round of lace rock. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...le1232/113.jpg Fish' http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...le1232/115.jpg Fish in tank. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...le1232/118.jpg Whole picture of tank. Water is still cloudy. At this point I began adding some Hagen Nutrafin cycle. I should of started a few days before hand, BUT....I didnt. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...le1232/121.jpg Tank looks green here, In person it is perfectly clear. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...le1232/128.jpg Side picture of the tank. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...le1232/129.jpg Kind of a side angle, I wanted to show more of the caves. http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c2...le1232/130.jpg Thats about it. All fish are about 2". Except the big ones. They are close to 4". I am still doing fish recognition. All of these fish were practically given to me. A heck of a deal. I started with 20, 9 died.http://www.fishforum.com/freshwater-...ng-post-22066/ I got 12-15 more today. So that makes ~30 or so. I cant count, they move to fast. 75 gallon Oceanic 70 lbs of African Cichild gravel 40 lbs of Lace rock - I am going to add 60-100 lbs more once the LFS gets some more. Cascade 1500 filter with a Pura Complete pack.(A large wet/dry is on standby, incase I need it.) 300 watt heater 2 T-5 strips with actinic and white lights A bubbler manifold, with black hose running to 3 seperate bubblers. Manifold has gate valve to gate back bubbles if I want to. PH - 8.2 Ammonia - 0 Nitrates - 0 Thats about it. |
Also, fish are small now. They will get larger. I have a 260 gallon tank in the works. :) This 75 will return to a single or pair of oscar tank with in the next year. So please no comments about this is too much fish. |
Looks like a mix of mbuna and frontosa/haps...be weary of the mbuna as they grow larger and more territorial. Love the rock setup |
Thanks invictusmaneo, I am planning on adding more rock once the LFS gets more. The ordered some for me last week and it has not come in yet. |
the tank is looking good :) sorry to read of the disaster you had. the mabuna are fun to watch when they're mouth brooding. |
I want some more lace rock! |
I think that the tank looks awsome, I love having mbuna cichlids they are so colorful and fun to watch. I just wish I had a tank as big as yours so I could put more in. I dont think that you have too many. |
Thanks lowco. I am adding more lace rock tomorrow. The lfs FINALLY got some more in. I might have to take all of it out and then restack it all. I am not sure what all the other peice look like, and I am somewhat of a perfectionist. If it does not look good, i will do it over 100000 times until I am satisfied. Currently, I am unsatisfied but It will have to do, until tomorrow. I'll post more pictures as well. |
The rock looks good I cant wait to see it with more in there it is going to look great. I am sure that the cichlids are going to love it to. |

A report by Jeremy Scahill in The Nation (Blackwater's Black Ops, 9/15/2010) revealed that the largest mercenary army in the world, Blackwater (now called Xe Services) clandestine intelligence services was sold to the multinational Monsanto. Blackwater was renamed in 2009 after becoming famous in the world with numerous reports of abuses in Iraq, including massacres of civilians. It remains the largest private contractor of the U.S. Department of State "security services," that practices state terrorism by giving the government the opportunity to deny it.
Many military and former CIA officers work for Blackwater or related companies created to divert attention from their bad reputation and make more profit selling their nefarious services-ranging from information and intelligence to infiltration, political lobbying and paramilitary training – for other governments, banks and multinational corporations. According to Scahill, business with multinationals, like Monsanto, Chevron, and financial giants such as Barclays and Deutsche Bank, are channeled through two companies owned by Erik Prince, owner of Blackwater: Total Intelligence Solutions and Terrorism Research Center. These officers and directors share Blackwater.
One of them, Cofer Black, known for his brutality as one of the directors of the CIA, was the one who made contact with Monsanto in 2008 as director of Total Intelligence, entering into the contract with the company to spy on and infiltrate organizations of animal rights activists, anti-GM and other dirty activities of the biotech giant.

The Simpsons 24th season has a slew of guest stars already prepared for upcoming episodes, but today the show has added jazz saxophonist Sonny Rollins to the cast for a guest appearance. The man is a legend, having played with the late, great Thelonious Monk, among other, and who has several compositions that have become jazz standards. With Lisa's interest in music—and specifically the saxaphone—you'd think this guest addition couldn't go better for the character. Unfortunately, with a nod to Tupac's performance at Coachella this year, that does not seem to be the case.
Rollins is set to play himself in The Simpsons, however, he will play a very unreal version of himself. TV Line is reporting the man will appear as a hologram in an episode called "Whiskey Business." Seeing the hologram as an unfair gimmick, Lisa will take to the cause, fighting the record label that produced such ridiculousness. If this were real life, Dr. Dre would probably not be amused to have to deal with Lisa's passionate letter-writing campaign. Instead, it's an episode of The Simpsons, and Dr. Dre seems to be out on this one, although I can't wait to see what a Jazz man can do in hologram form. We'll have a while to wait, however, to see Rollins in his guest stint. The episode won't premiere until sometime this spring. I guess we'll have to sit around and hope that the proposed Elvis hologram will pop up to tide us over in the interim.

Very cool photo !!!
Being an asylum I'll bet that cabinet was once full of some mighty potent stuff.
Just wondering if they left the meds behind before abandoning this creepy place.
Great story Kelly !!!
Your writing sent a few chills up my spine.

The News 'Round These Parts
This isn't breaking news, but it was supposed to be hush hush for a little while, so I think I only mentioned it once...on her comment section. Then I remembered that I was supposed to be keeping it a secret. Gosh I'm good with secrets.
(A.k.a. Brandon, my brother-in-law)
So anyway, what was I saying? Oh yeah! Big news!
This guy...
...and this girl...
(A.k.a. my sister Emily)...are pregnant! We technically SHE is pregnant...not him, but you get my drift no?
Because I am impatient and don't want to wait to see what this baby will look like, I ran their pictures through Morphthing.
And I think I did something wrong?
Unless of course, they have conceived a mutant pig. (How about we don't tell Emily this OK? I think the idea of THAT in her body might freak her out a little bit)I tried again...but trust me...it didn't get any better. So I tried Matt and I...you know...JUST TO SEE...
And now I'm off to get my tubes tied!6 comments:

Choosing between grounded and ungrounded electrical system designs
Ungrounded, resistance grounded systems
Although the NEC requires the majority of electrical systems to be grounded, some are actually required to be ungrounded. There are only five different electrical power systems/subsystems noted in NEC Article 250.22 where the code committee has determined the hazards of grounding to outweigh safety benefits of grounding. One of these system types is an isolated power system, which is a distribution power system of limited size, typically for use in hospital operating rooms. These areas are required to have an ungrounded system because it would be considered unacceptable to have a power outage during a surgical procedure. A typical isolated power system consists of a single-phase 10 kVA isolation transformer in which the secondary side remains ungrounded. The transformer's electrostatic shield is connected to ground and effectively shunts high-frequency noise to ground. The 120 V equipment connected to these systems will continue to operate after the first fault, just as in an ungrounded system. These power systems are particularly suitable for use in operating rooms where there may be water or fluids present and where a GFCI receptacle (required by the NEC in wet areas) would ordinarily be required to be installed. The installation of the isolated power panel is alarmed locally, so if there is a ground fault, the team will be notified, but any ongoing procedures needn't be interrupted.
During the 1970s, language was added to the NEC to require ground fault trip sensors to feeders 1,000 A and above on 480 V grounded electrical systems. The need for electrical service continuity for the industrial process sector drove the need for a hybrid system to combine the stability and safety benefits of the grounded system with the continuous service benefits of the ungrounded system. During this time, resistance grounded systems began gaining traction. Service continuity makes this type of grounding system very attractive today for the traditional pulp and paper industry as well as for high-tech data centers. An impedance grounded system incorporates the benefits of both the grounded and the ungrounded system. The IEEE Green Book identifies the following benefits:
- Reduces burning and melting effects in faulted electrical equipment
- Reduces mechanical stresses in faulted circuits and cables
- Reduces electric-shock hazards caused by stray ground fault currents in the ground path
- Reduces the arc blast or flash hazard
- Reduces the momentary line-voltage dip caused by a fault and the subsequent clearing
- Controls transient overvoltages and prevents circuit shutdown on the first ground fault.
Impedance grounded systems include high resistance ground (HRG) and low resistance ground (LRG) configurations. For a wye-connected transformer, Figure 5 demonstrates how a known resistance is matched to the facility load profile and inserted directly between the secondary of the service transformer and ground. To accomplish this with a delta secondary transformer, an artificial neutral must be created using a zigzag transformer.
In a wye connected HRG system, intermittent faults that cause so much trouble in ungrounded systems will be eliminated by the neutral system ground resistor because its insertion limits the total current flow to ground.
System continuity is maintained because, although ground fault alarms occur, the overcurrent devices do not operate. This current flow in a low-voltage system (480 V to 600V) will be limited typically to 10 A so that the fault can be located and then repaired at a scheduled time without exposing staff to hazardous fault levels (see Figure 6). While HRG systems are a good fit for large data centers, there are pitfalls, such as misapplication of surge protective devices (they must be rated for ungrounded-neutral circuits), and the UPS must be grounded in a compatible method to its input and output wiring. Tracing faults is somewhat difficult and must be accomplished on live circuits using circuit pulsers.
LRG-grounded systems are typically used for 15 kV medium-voltage applications where the charging current may be too high to match an HRG. LRG systems tend to operate more similarly to the solidly grounded system than the ungrounded system. In this case, the added resistor limits the fault currents between 200 A and 400 A, which is too high to allow continuous operation during a fault. Therefore, ground fault detection equipment must be set to trip as quickly as possible on detection. The advantage of controlling the current is that improved selectivity between overcurrent protective devices in the system may be achieved. It is interesting to note that through the 1999 code cycle, impedance/resistance grounded systems were in the same article as the ungrounded systems because of their operating similarities.
The NEC provides the framework for applying grounded and ungrounded systems. Table 1 summarizes the benefits and drawbacks of these different grounding systems as organized by the NEC. In a facility with a predominant need for line to ground loads, the NEC clearly requires a solidly grounded system. The solidly grounded system is the simplest and the cheapest to implement in the field. It is typically found in commercial buildings of today. In contrast, if a facility only has 3-phase loads and terminating its internal processes is deemed to be too heavy a risk, then an ungrounded system has definite merits. There is a middle ground, however, where service continuity is required, and the benefits of isolating and locating a fault for added safety are required. In these situations, one might consider an HRG system that has a proven track record for use in industrial process plants as well as large data center designs. The HRG system provides a single-point ground system for the facility. However, if and when there is a ground fault, the fault won't cause downtime.
NEC Article 250 has remained largely unchanged over the years, with a few punctuated changes in the 1940s and 1970s. Much credit must be given to the original code committee members for understanding the fundamentals and safety benefits of system grounding. Although grounding is often viewed as being mysterious, adhering to the code will safeguard occupants and facility equipment.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

The announcer's expression seems to say it all:
The man who infamously married virtual schoolgirl Nene, of hit schoolgirl romance simulator Love Plus, has been made the subject of a CNN feature, visible below:
The announcer's expression seems to say it all:
I have a commitment issue, so it's less likely that i would marry someone, easier to hunt shotas that way....oops.
The more i'm hearing about Otakus, the more i know they are one totally fucked up human beings.
its only your own definition of normal-societies definition of normal. What is normal? Nothing is normal
and what is you definition of normal? Drinking beer with your buds while watcing a bunch of brutes in armor throw a ball around? Yeah, its totally normal to be obsessed with sports man. Its so manly
Looking at big breasted cartoon characters in fanservice scene after fanservice scene is SOOOO GAYYY!
Real men watch 2 large groups of men getting sweaty tackling each other on a field grinding into each other and groping for balls that they take into the other mans "end zone." That's how a manly man's man get off.
This is going to make all us anime fans, be it closet, flamboyant, or casual look really really bad. Im kinda 50/50 on caring.
But a positive note is that all the attention this game is getting now may mean some company may bring it over to the states now!
the funny thing is that if some retarded preteen announced they had married Edward Cullen no one would think it was creepy/strange/sad (except for the depressingly small percentage of people that arent Twitarded). But if it's an anime/game character, oooooooh noooooooes
such a shame that otaku are too freaking lazy to get to know real women.
There are genuine caring women in the world, and in Japan too. As well as otaku women.
I'm an otaku woman, and I've been told by friends and complete strangers that I'm pretty, so it's not that I'm 3dpigdisgusting pparently. I actually dont think I could go out with any guy that didnt have any interest in anime, because I would bore him to death with my own obsessions.
And yet, I will probably never be able to get an 'otaku' boyfriend because they think all us women want is money, or they all hate anime, or they're totally ugly if they're not photoshopped to retarded levels.
No wonder so many japanese girls are seeking non japanese boyfriends.
Well, although what that poor idiot publically did is yet ANOTHER smear on the reputation of our community, you can't quite blame him.
Rather, the problem lies with the attitude of post 1980's women towards their men:
Which can be PREFECTLY summarized with the title of a stage play written by an Anti-Feminist in Melbourne, Australia:
"I Love You, You're Perfect. NOW CHANGE!!"
You know how men did treat woman back then? It was all about violence against woman if they did something that was against their mind.
Can't wait for a sequel with more characters.
Silly 3D woman.
It is a 12,000-year proven fact that only through danger that real opportunities and success can be achieved.
Maybe Tiger Woods could take this for advice. At least it won't cost you half a billion...lol..
A similar article regarding a Japanese man marrying a "Love Plus" character was also featured in the local news last week.
education is the limiter of humanity. if education evolves so does humanity. there's no normal/abnormal its just difference.
lol this guy is pro. Like how there is a hot chick playing ds or psp with those other 2 guys and they could give a shat.
I got bored of my Love Plus.
Seriously how does he stay interested?
They say the same things over and over, you cna't ask them direct questions noly stupid things like 'whats your favourite colour', then rub their faces like a moron.
And kissing is as far as it goes.. wheres the sex scenes?
If you ask me these virtual girls put out less than real girls HA
Every man has had a 2d fantasy.
A "regular guy" might make fun of an otaku for loving a cartoon, but won't understand how that's the same as him whacking off to random blonde hookers in playboy or hustler...and hentai stories are always better than "Pizza guy bangs moderately attractive girl porn film #263357619"
I was under the impression that this was simply a publicity stunt for the game. In fact, I'm pretty sure I saw the video where he admitted that he was a fan of the game and had no problem "marrying" Nene.
Here's the vid.
Fake or not, they sure did a great job getting attention for the game. Hell, I don't even own a DS but want to play this game. XD
If he drops the DS in the water, does that mean he killed "his Nene"?
I can under stand the reasons why he would do this because the shy fool would most likely get ripped to sheds by most heartless cunts his age and then do an hero. His way is much safer.
sincerely, you can see the result, when the woman have enough freedom, they are a monster, only interest in money, not feelings, they sucks
maybe in the future people considerate private the freedom from de girls, they are good when she is responsable
islamic laws save us...
stupids of cnn...
WOW, and I thought that CNN was stupid before. They just exported their stupidity to Japan, something we could all do without.
iono guys maby hes had sum problems in his life with real ppl and now hes trying to escape reality with this and it aint healthy. but its wutever makes u happy in life and if this does it for him then hes gud. i support this guy
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA. Fuck yeah video games all day because I can't express myself. LOLZ. Whatever when I head to Japan it will be good for my socio/psychology reports on Japan. HAHAHAHAHA pretty cool.
I was just happy that the announcer is actually fluent in english. lol. anyway, Japan is in a brink of destruction.

Crabtree Falls is a beautiful waterfall, the highest east of the Mississippi. At 1,200 feet in total, it is impressive by any standard. While not just one big drop, this waterfall of many big and medium cascades all in succession makes a very worthwhile 2-3 hour day hike. Located in the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, this waterfall attracts a lot of people in the warmer months. It's not too far from a few cities and the drive along the winding roads is very scenic. This could also serve as a nice route to access the Appalachian Trail. Supposedly these falls were referenced several times as a weekend getaway in the old tv show "The Waltons". After visiting, I can see why!Getting There
There are 2 trailheads to reach the top of the waterfall:Rt. 56 Trailhead (Elevation 1,600 ft.): This trail takes you from the base of the falls to the top of the falls with about a 1,200 ft elevation gain. From Charlottesville, VA, travel west along I-64 to exit 99. Go South on the Blue Ridge Parkway to milepost 27. Go East on Rt 56 approximately 6.5 miles to the parking area of the falls, which will be on your right. There are about 55 parking spaces here and restrooms. This is, without a doubt, the more scenic of the 2 trails. Distance: 3 miles round trip.
Crabtree Meadows Trailhead (Elevation 3,050 ft.): This trail takes you on a 1 mile hike through the woods to the top of the falls with no views of the 1,200 ft of falls below. Take the same directions as for the other trail, but after about 5 miles on Rt 56, take a right onto Meadows Ln. You'll see a sign recommending only 4x4 vehicles, but I've seen cars on the road, just go slow. There are a couple small seasonal streams crossing on this road. Follow Meadows Ln 4 miles to the trailhead, which will be on the left. This route is easier and more direct with about a 300 ft drop in elevation along the way to the top of the falls. Distance: 2 miles round trip.
Route Description
Rt 56 Trailhead Route:The first thing you'll have to do is obtain a self-issuing trip ticket for $3.00. Remember to hang the ticket on your rear view mirror. (I don't believe there's a fee at the Meadow's Lane parking area.)
Begin by taking the 1/4 mile paved trail almost to the base of the falls. On your right will be a sign for "Crabtree Falls". Trail length is approximately 1.5 miles. The first 1/4 of the trail has numerous steps and overlooks to the falls. Numerous switchbacks and more overlooks along a well cared for trail lead you to the top of the falls. Along the way there are wooden and metal railings and several benches. Signs warn against climbing the rocks on the falls, which can be deceptively slippery. 23 people have died climbing on the rocks, but the trail is absolutely safe. Other notable features along the way include several small cliff areas not on the falls (hard to resist an easy climb!), some boulders which make a neat little cave and a few huge trees fallen across the falls.
The top of the falls is unmarked by any sign, but you'll know you are there when you reach a large deck overlooking the top of the falls and the valley. Just past that a stone wall with some benches overlooking the top of the falls gives a nice view.
Another unmarked trail leads from the deck back 1 mile to the Meadows Rd trailhead.
Essential Gear
Summer: No special gear needed in summer. Bring plenty of water along, or some form of water purification as the summers can be 90+ degrees. Bug spray, lunch and a good camera should be about all one would need.Winter: Warm jacket, hat, etc. Plus always check the weather. After the Valentines Day storm of February 2007, the entire trail was nothing but ice. I used some strap on ice cleats (Stabilicers) and they did great. Snowshoes could be needed too depending on conditions.
Ice Climbing
When talking about ice climbing, Virginia is probably not one of the top states that comes to mind! However, there can be some good ice climbing on the falls in winter. February 2007 saw some very cold weather come through most of the month and the falls were frozen up very well. I'm not aware of any restrictions on ice climbing here, but you may want to call the rangers in advance in case things change. Be wary of the icy parking lot also, it didn't seem as if they had plowed of laid any sand down and it was very slick.
