By GalTime's Recipe Superstar, Camilla Saulsbury
I served this with a quick, soft polenta; I used a recipe from Cooking Light (but used regular yellow cornmeal in place of the quick polenta). Need I say delicious?
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 chicken-apple sausages
2 medium yellow onions, sliced
2 garlic cloves, peeled and sliced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh rosemary
2 cups seedless red grapes
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
Related: Italian Sausage Bean Soup
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet set over a medium heat. Add the sausages; cook 4-5 minutes, turning every so often. Stir in the onions, then leave to cook for 5-6 minutes more until the sausages are browned and the onions softened.
Add the garlic, rosemary and grapes to the pan. Cook and stir 5 minutes longer until the grapes are starting to soften. Add the vinegar to the skillet. Cook 3-4 minutes longer until the onions are sticky and caramelized. Makes 4 servings.

G8 leaders pledged to lift millions of Africans out of poverty by promoting investments in sustainable agriculture.
The ambitious announcement, contained in a final communique released after a high-profile gathering on a range of topics, came a day after President Barack Obama reached out to the private sector for financial support for the cause.
The initiative also comes as pledges expire from 2009 in Italy, where the G8 promised more than 20 billion dollars over three years to improve food access to Africans and others hit by the high prices and a global slowdown.

Wells Fargo Championship interview: Nick WatneyMay 02, 2013
MORE INTERVIEWS: Wells Fargo Championship transcript archive
Q. Nick, that's awfully good playing out there, particularly on that second nine. Did you wake up at about the turn?
NICK WATNEY: Yeah, I played pretty well on the back, just couldn't make anything. I just tried to stay patient and luckily the putts started falling.
Q. You've been playing so well this year. It's been fairly close almost every single week, so consistent. Last week you shot the same thing every day. How do you feel about the state of your game?
NICK WATNEY: I think it's really going in the right direction. I feel like today is one of the best rounds I've played all year, really clean, really steady. So I'm really looking forward to this week upcoming and the rest of the season.
Q. How wet was it out there?
NICK WATNEY: It was a little bit wet, but obviously it's definitely playable. I just heard Phil say that this tournament has been so great. I don't want to see it take any kind of flack. Obviously, the greens are the greens. Obviously, they didn't do it on purpose. So the golf is good, and it's just a matter of rolling in some putts.
Q. We left you when you were done playing your first nine holes. What happened on that second nine?
NICK WATNEY: Well, I tried to stay patient and luckily some things just started falling. It went pretty well. I mean, to make nine pars on the back side isn't a bad thing. Definitely Phil and Rickie made some early birdies, so I knew I had to get something going. Luckily, I made five of them on the front.
Q. How soft was the golf course? How scorable is it out there?
NICK WATNEY: Well, it's definitely pretty soft. It's not hot enough to dry anything out. I think as far as scoring for us, we got the best conditions we possibly could. We were out pretty early and fresh greens. So hopefully we'll get the same tomorrow and I'm looking forward to the rest of the week.
Q. There's been a lot of talk about the six greens that have been challenged here this week, especially by you guys, the best players in the world. Is there a different strategy you have to implement on those six greens compared to the other 12?
NICK WATNEY: Well, obviously, all you can do on any green is try to hit it where you're looking. And I think just going into it with the greens may be a little bouncy, but most of the time if you hit a good putt it's going to go in. Although I will say that you're not angry if you have a 25 footer or you have a tap in on some of those greens. So it may change your strategy a little bit, but ultimately you're trying to hit it where you're looking.
Q. Talk about your round out there today and how it went?
NICK WATNEY: I played very nice. I was pretty steady. Didn't get in any real trouble, and I was able to get it going on my back nine, so I'm very pleased with today.
Q. What stretch were you in with three birdies in a row? I saw the putt you hit on three to make that third one. But what did you like for you?
NICK WATNEY: Number 1, I hit a wedge about eight feet, and number 2, I hit an 8 iron about four feet. So it was nice to take advantage of you drive it in the fairway on number 1, you get a short iron in, and number 2 was a good club for me. So it was nice to take advantage of those holes.
Q. When you get a roll like that, you feel like you can kind of beat the world?
NICK WATNEY: Yeah, it's nice to you don't always have a stretch like that, so you try to keep it going as long as you can.
Q. All the talk about the greens, how did they hold up today for you? I know you're playing well.
NICK WATNEY: I thought they were good. I played with Rickie Fowler today, and he had a few putts that may have bumped a little bit. But I thought we got them at a pretty good time. For me, I have no complaints.
Q. What will the challenge be tomorrow in the afternoon pairing?
NICK WATNEY: It will be great. We're a long way from finished. So just try to do more of the same and keep it as simple as I can and see where I end up.
Q. You had a solid opening round last year, didn't you?
NICK WATNEY: Yeah, I played well.
Q. Is there anything in particular about this course that you like?
NICK WATNEY: Yeah, I really enjoy it. I enjoy coming here every year. It's one of the best tournaments we have and one of the best courses, so I really like it.
Q. I'm sure it's not something you think about on a daily basis, but after the disappointment of not making the Ryder Cup team last year, how big of a motivator in the long term year to year are making these International Teams for you at this moment is this?
NICK WATNEY: It's big motivation. I played in the Presidents Cup in 2011, and it was a blast. It was such a great experience and a lot of fun to play on a team event like that. So missing the Ryder Cup was disappointing.
Once you play on one and you miss one, it makes you want to make those teams even more.

Support aired for 'sustainable' logging
The Pyrenees Shire Mayor, Michael O'Connor, says there is strong community support for restarting limited logging in the Mount Cole and Pyrenees Ranges state forest.
The Victorian Government says the Department of Primary Industries (DPI) has worked with the local community to develop a sustainable logging plan, after logging ceased in 2004.
A total of 600 cubic metres of timber will be taken out over summer and the DPI will assess the future yield.
Councillor O'Connor says the council also supports sustainable logging in the forest.
"There is good community support for it if it's done in a sustainable and friendly, environmental way," he said.
"I'd have to say from a council perspective, we certainly support the sustainable development of the timber industry, in an economically and environmentally friendly manner in the Mount Cole area."
Agriculture Minister Peter Walsh the plans will maintain the health of the forest.
"The factors we've taken into account are the availability of the resource there," he said.
"There was discussions with the Friends of Mount Cole and Pyrenees and the relevant timber mill, Pyrenees Timber, in that area about the availability of timber that could be salvaged out of that area.
"The local community is supportive of having the Mount Cole, Pyrenees area sustainably managed into the longer term."

Officials: Two Men took money meant for drug sting
Authorities say two New Port Richey men made a deal with an undercover Drug Enforcement Administration agent to obtain prescription pills for cash, but then stole the cash.
According to Sheriff's Office reports, Jeremy White, 28, of 8549 Broad St., met the agent at the Wal-Mart at 8701 U.S. 19 at 2 p.m. Thursday. He took $600 cash, the reports say, and was supposed to pick up a prescription from the pharmacy and give the agent the pills. Instead, he walked into the store and right back out, and fled in a car driven by 21-year-old Andrew Wyatt, also of 8549 Broad St.
The reports say Wyatt was found at home with $300 in his pocket. White was caught later. Both admitted to the crime, the reports say. They were each charged with grand theft.
White remained in the Pasco County jail on Friday; Wyatt was released after posting $2,000 bail.
Obscene picture leads to man's arrest
An 18-year-old man borrowed a child's cell phone, took a picture of his penis and sent the picture to the child's mother, police say.
Anthony Lamar James Jr. did this Thursday afternoon at the Hugh Embry library downtown, according to his arrest report. The mother, who was not identified, was offended and concerned for her child's safety.
Police confronted James at the library, the report says, and he tried to run away. When they caught up to him, he said he didn't mean to send the picture to the mother.
James, of 37802 Whitehouse Ave., was arrested and charged with prohibition of obscene acts and resisting arrest without violence, both misdemeanors. Bail was set at $300.

MICHAEL OWEN joined Stoke on a one-year-deal yesterday — which could be worth
around £2.5million to the former England star.
The injury-hit striker, 32, also has the option of another year at the
Britannia if he proves his fitness and plays enough games this season.
It's not the pay-as-you-play deal widely thought Stoke would insist on for the
former Liverpool, Real Madrid and Manchester United star.
Instead, the Potters will pay Owen a basic wage of around £25,000 a week with
the chance to double his money if he plays — and scores — regularly.
That is something manager Tony Pulis is banking on as he hopes Owen will make
the same kind of impact as his last big signing, Peter Crouch who hit 14
goals last season.
Stoke have not won any of their last nine Prem games which equals their worst
run since they were promoted.
So Pulis hopes Owen can find the old scoring touch which has seen him bag 221
goals in 473 total appearances.
The Chester-born hitman's arrival is likely to see at least one Stoke striker
head for the exit door — with Kenwyne Jones the most likely to depart.
Wolves boss Stale Solbakken is keen to take the striker on loan.
But he could face opposition from big-spending Russians Anzhi Makhachkala.

Thread: Newly approved Danish names
April 23rd, 2013 02:31 PM #26
I've met a Japanese girl named Gin, and apparently it's a normal Japanese name. I actually quite like the sound and look of it, but I can see why it'd be problematic haha!
My mom always called me Musling, when I was little, and since my mom is the type of person who would actually name a child that, I'm happy that it wasn't accepted as a "real" name when I was born. Clearly she loves nicknames. My mom has always said that she was VERY close to naming my brother Rumle, and me Trille. My father just liked Benjamin for my brother, and Nana for me. I really don't know how my parents ended up on Mads and Laura haha! Now I actually think Rumle & Trille would be the most adorable Danish sibset ever, but oh well. Mads & Laura is a bit more... Safe. (So there's a long, unimportant story for you!)
Sommer seems perfectly fine to me (probably mostly because it's one of my surnames and I've always thought it seemed quite first-namey)... I actually had no idea it wasn't already accepted as a name.Cleo
April 23rd, 2013 05:26 PM #28
Dane! Hej
My mum also affectionally called me musling when I was a kid (along with the mandatory skat, sveske, putte and tulle - tullemor in my case), but I must admit that I'd be rather furious had she named me that. Rumle is such a nice name, one of my own favourites, so I definitely understand why your mum liked that (don't know how I feel about Trille though. It makes me think of Der var engang en dreng - som fik en lillesøster med vinger by Wikke and Rasmussen where the entire family is named with nicknames: dad, Palle; mum, Trille; son, Kalle; and daughter, Lille).Zelia • 20s • Exporting names from Greenland & Inuit mythologyAlexander Adelin Lórien "Sasha" • Henry Ásgeirr Saxo • Asa Bjørnstjerne Ivik • Nor Valdemar Aksel • Dante Endymion Sejr

Thank you for fascinating thread, am thrilled to pick up some new Scandinavian names from other posters and read such 'telligent comments Specially like Rumle - pronunciation/meaning?
Regarding the newly approved names, I am in love with Sok (it is still making me chuckle 15 mins later!) with Nitte ('rivet') a close second, after dreaming that my niece-to-be was called Gimlet! Sommer is sweet and linked to Somerled, a long-time lurker in my list (meaning 'Summer warrior' i.e. pesky Viking raiders!)
Adore Scandinavian (esp. Norse) names and wondered if you (or anyone) would comment on Ebbe and Burr? I'm just curious as to how they would be viewed by Real Scandinavians and also to check pronunciation (I've read that the final syllable of Ebbe is usually pronounced 'uh', but sometimes 'ee'). Thanks if you can help, no prob if not, will continue to love it

Jens Peter), his mother was the translator of Peanuts and she named Pigpen "Rumle" after him.
We actually had a great Danish actor named Ebbe Langberg. In Danish, it's pronounced like Abba only with 'e' instead of 'a'. I'd say it's considered rather old-fashioned here, but then again, old-fashioned names are rising very rapidly
Burr was the Búri and the father of Odin in the Norse mythology. I'm not sure the Danish pronunciation is pronounceable in English - as a matter of fact, I was thinking of English words resembling, it but I can't think of any.Zelia • 20s • Exporting names from Greenland & Inuit mythologyAlexander Adelin Lórien "Sasha" • Henry Ásgeirr Saxo • Asa Bjørnstjerne Ivik • Nor Valdemar Aksel • Dante Endymion Sejr

Anywhere Not Too Cold Or Where I'd Go To Jail
I'm naked a lot at home ...much more so in summer It's such a good feeling to get home from work and get naked until next AM to go to work again -sigh!
good friends and relitives know I'll be naked and either gome over ..or like sister does calls first because she's bringing her 8 year old daughter so on theh a pare of shorts and a tee.
mnscooter 56-60, M 2 Responses 0 Feb 12, 2010
How long is your sis going to wait until she let her daughter see you nude? Any time in the next 3 or 4 years should be good, what better place is she to learn? In the back seat of a car somewhere?
I have no problem with nakedness, in general. However, I find, at this point in my life, that wearing clothing is the kind thing to do for others.

Currently, we overload "indent" meaning both "unix socket authentication" and "ident over tcp", depending on what type of connection it is. This is quite unfortunate - one of them being one of the most secure options we have, the other one being one of the most *insecure* ones (really? ident over tcp? does *anybody* use that intentionally today?) Should we not consider naming those two different things? If not now, then at least put it on the TODO of things to do the next time we need to break backwards compatibility with the format of pg_hba.conf? Though if we're going to break backwards compatibility anywhere, pg_hba is probably one of the least bad places to do it... -- Magnus Hagander Me: http://www.hagander.net/ Work: http://www.redpill-linpro.com/

Every Other Month The San Francisco Album Project Presents & Performs A Single Album By The Greatest Artists/Bands/Genres Of The Last 50 Years! We've Culled The Talent & The Taste, Now We Need You To Celebrate These LPs With Us!
The performance begins at 8:00pm, Sunday, January 19th @ THE VICTORIA THEATRE – one of San Francisco's oldest and most-beloved venues located at 2961 16th Street, in the heart of the Mission District. The fourth event in this on-going series will be based around what is arguably one of the greatest rock albums of all time, Nirvana's NEVERMIND.
Made up of performer and producer veterans from the legendary scenes, clubs and theatres of the last 20 years, The San Francisco Album Project is committed to bringing an inventive, theatrical and narrative aesthetic to the art of the lip-sync.

Eye of the Beholder
FAQ by Capcom
Updated: | Search Guide | Bookmark Guide
This hint sheet was written in house by one of our game
counselors for the other game counselors. Please excuse any
obnoxious comments or poor attempts at levity. These are things
that naturally occur aafter spending eight hours a day telling
people th e same thing over and over. The numbers in the hints
refer to locations as described in the Eye of the Beholder Vol. 1
Hint Booklet from SSI, which can still be found in some software
stores, or ordered directly from Capcom by sending a check rder
for $9.95 US funds to Capcom Customer Service, 475 Oakmead
Parkway, Sunnyvale, CA 94086, along with a note including your
return address and which game book you want.
FAQ's For Eye Of the Beholder
1. "I'm on the Second Level, and I don't know what to do?"
Don't panic. What you have to do is go through all three
doors with the silver locks in this area. If you don't have a
key, your thief can pick these locks (these are pretty much t ve
to explore each of the three areas beyond the doors, looking for
the set of rations in each area. Once all three sets of rations
have been picked up, the player needs to go through the nor ss,"
and turn and look west. If they actually have all three sets, a
hallway should have magically appeared there, allowing access out
to the rest of level 2. The rations are actually triggers eady
fed the rations to his characters, he just needs to have picked
them up.
2. "I'm stuck in a room on Level 2, and I'm going around in
This is probably the room that has the messages, "Not all
is as it may appear," and, "Orcish runes of passage." What
happens is, as the player walks into this area past the locked
door facing south, two steps into the hallway, a magical trap
(24 2) spins the player around 90 degrees. Have the player watch
their compass when this happens, and simply tell them to turn
around to face the correct direction they need to travel in. The
next problem is the room facing east. Ask the player if the re
i n a room that is shaped like a figure-eight laying on its side.
Tell them the reason the room looks like an eight is because
there are two sets of walls that are seemingly blocking the
middle of the room. The reason the player is walking in circles
i because of the teleport traps that are along the outer
perimeter of the room (30-33, L2). Tell the player that they
need to walk through the walls marked with the Orc rune of
passage that are in the middle of the room. Two sections of the
walls are i usio nary. On the Western wall, the southern, or
lower, step of the wall is false, and on the Eastern wall, the
northern, or upper, step is false. They need to walk east into
this room, go through the two false walls, walk east down the
hal false wall to the east at the end, then through the false
wall to the north to find the area with the rations (36, L2).
Tell them they then need to turn around and head out the same way
they came in, through the false walls. People will tell you th
they walk forward and keep ending up looking at a sewer pipe.
Remind them that they need to walk through the walls in the
middle of the room, and not to go along the outside, because they
will get caught in a teleport loop. If they keep arguing with
yo nsist in a louder voice that you are correct, and if they are
so smart, why are they calling a game counselor in the first
place, huh?
3. "I'm stuck on Level 2; I can't get across the pits and I keep
falling down to the smaller room on Level 3."
Tell the player that they need to turn off the first pit
(15, L2) by pressing the handle in the alcove (14, L2). The next
pit (E, L2) can be turned off by looking north across the pit and
tossing a rock or dagger, and it will fly across and land ressure
plate, turning off that pit. The same thing will work for all
the other pits in that room. The player needs to pick up the
rations in the corner (17, L2), and go to the other rooms.
4. "I'm on Level 2, in front of a message that says, 'What on
odd place for a carving,' and I can't get that door open. What's
that carving for?"
The way to get the door open is to throw a rock or dagger
through the gate. It'll go through and land on a pressure plate
on the other side, opening that door.
5. "How do I open the door on Level 2 where it says, 'Only the
strong shall pass?'"
You need to point the symbol on the bottom of the door
and keep clicking the button until the door raises up. It will
take a bunch of tries, so don't give up too soon.
6. "How do I open the door on Level 1 to get down to Level 2?"
Put a dagger on the pressure plate on the floor, then hit
the button (19, L1) to the right, and the door will open up.
7. "I'm on Level 2, and there's a door that won't open with any
of my keys. How do I open it?"
That door will only open with the Gold Key. Tell the
player to go back through the shimmering field (the R.A.T.S.) to
the south (68, L2). The teleporter will dump them out in the
southwest. They need to go north from that first RATS (40, L2)
t oom that says "Entry Level" (41, L2). That room is actually an
elevator that will take the player to two sub-levels of Level 2,
the "Correction Level" and the "Fear Level." Walk into the room,
close the door behind you, hit the secret button on the w l tw
ice, and you will go down. On the "Fear," search around to find
the key, then go back to the RATS and open the door.
8. "Where do I find the dwarven king?" or "What do I do once
I've found the dwarven prince?" or "How do I find the Wand of
Kiergar can be found on Level 10 (15, L10) west of
Shindia (48, L10). Once he is found, the player needs to hike
himself back up to the dwarves on Level 5 (27, L5). Once Kiergar
is found, tell the player to go down to Level 11, and look for
the of Dwarven Healing (39, L11), and bring it back to the
dwarves. Once you do that, they will give you the Wand of
Silvias, which you need to fight the Beholder down on Level 12.
9. "I have this wand that says, 'No apparent magical effect,'
when I use it. What is it?"
Tell the player that they will have to use the Oracle of
Knowledge to see if that wand is the Wand of Silvias, which is
necessary to defeat the Beholder.
10. "What is the Wand of Silvias?" or "How do I use it?"
The Wand is really only useful for fighting the Beholder.
When you use it, it will push the Beholder back about four
spaces. The player needs to push the Beholder back down the
hallway, into the room, then maneuver so that he is able to push
th der into the spike trap in the corner (49, L12) which will
kill the Beholder instantly.
11. "Where is the Stone Jewel? I've found the portal it uses,
but I can't find it."
There is no Stone Jewel in the game. That portal leads
nowhere. It is only there to mess with your head.
12. "I have these stone items. How do I use them?"
Those are portal keys. They activate the various portals
in the game. Tell the player to look at the portal, and notice
that one of the spaces is blank. If the player has the stone
item that would fit into the one blank space, they need to tak t
of their inventory, hold it over the blank space, and hit the
button. If this is the right item, it will activate the portal.
13. "I used the portal key (stone medallion) that the dwarves
gave me. Now I'm in a room that's locked, and I can't get out of
it. What do I do?"
Tell the player that it is too early to start using the
portal keys to pop around. The portals will only be useful much
later in the game. Tell the player to teleport back up to the
dwarf level (Level 5), and start looking for the stairs down t 6.
The doors on 7 will only open with the jeweled key and the ruby
key, which will be found when the player comes down to 7 from 6,
and explores for awhile.
14. "How do I get down to Level 6 (or the dwarven level) from
Level 5?"
The player needs to go southeast from the dwarves to find
a lever (40, L5) that will open a door to the south. Walk down
the hallway to come into a room that, as you walk forward, pits
open in the floor behind you. Walk south until you come to cond
hallway that runs east. Go east down that hallway until you come
to a door. Open the door, step inside, pick up the set of armor
(48, L5), then walk through the false wall to the east (49 ore
that area until you come across a room full of teleport fields
(73-83, L5). You need to go through the fields in the correct
sequence and throw three levers to open three doors. Go through
15. "What do I do with these 8 levers on Level 11?"
The two levers one in from each end need to be down; all
the others need to be up (39, L11). So the sequence should be
u,d,u,u,u,u,d,u. This will give you a magical wand when the
potion is taken from the alcove. 16. "What do I do to these
levers next to the message marked 'Thirteen' on Level 10?"
We don't have the solution to this puzzle in our hint
books for some reason (5, L10). Mess around with it for awhile
to see if it will do something.
17. "What's the solution to 'Combination Lock - Be Quick.'"
There is no solution to this. It is simply a trap to
frustrate you and smack you with magic missiles.
18. "What is the Oracle of Knowledge on Level 4?" or "How do I
identify my magic items so I know what they are?" or "What is the
Oracle of Devouring on Level 9?"
When you find the Orb of Power down on Level 11, return
to the Oracle on Level 4 (64, L4). The Oracle will identify all
magic items carried by the party. The Oracle of Devouring (18,
L9) does the same thing, but eats your Orb of Power, so you l
Don't use the Devouring one.
19. "How do I work the 'Round and Round' room on Level 6?" or
"How do I get to Level 7 from Level 6?" or "I've run out of keys
for the 'Round and Round', where are more?"
Round and Round (25, L6) is a set of three revolving
locks on Level 6. When all three are opened, the player will
find the stairs down to Level 7. Players usually can't find
enough keys to get all three open. Tell them to first go north
from t a to find two pits (23A and 22A, L6), and fall into them.
There is a key at the bottom of each. The third key is usually
the hardest to find. Tell them to go south to the message,
"Silverware rack - Be neat," and to put either darts or daggers
ose alcoves (33, L6). Two racks in, there is another key.
20. "What are the Special Quests?"
See the separate page for Special Quests. Don't kill
yourself explaining each one, just give them three or four, and
tell the player to figure the rest out themselves.
21. "I used the Stone Orb on Level 11, and now I'm in this
little room. Am I close to the end of the game? What do I do?"
Yes, the player is on Level 12 (1, L12), and so very
close to the end of the game. Tell them to take their Orb of
Power, or the Stone Orb, and throw it through the middle of the
western wall (3, L12). It will go through the wall, land on a
pres ate on the other side, and open the door, allowing access to
the rest of Level 12. You will be able to pick up your orb on
the other side.
22. "How do I get from Level 10 to Level 11?"
Tell the player to go basically northwest from the "Nest"
room. They need to look for a hallway that runs east-west, and
walk down it to find a lever in an alcove to the south (37, L10).
Pull the lever twice to move a block to the north. Walk e, pull
the eastern lever twice to open the next entrance to the north.
In that room will be a pit, a message that says, "Jump," and a
Ring of Feather Fall. That's the entrance to 11.
23. "I'm down on the green floor (Level 11), where the messages
say things like, 'Alignment must be true,' and, 'Your fate lies
in the stars.' What's going on?"
The player is on Level 11, with the Celestial Stars of
Navigation. They are in the middle of three concentric squares.
The player needs to push the star buttons. Every time the button
is pushed, it rotates 90 degrees. When all three buttons a d up
in the same direction, the door in the opposite direction will
open up. So if the buttons face north, the south door will open,
etc. The player needs to explore through each of four areas ail
(59, L11), the Orb of Power (56, L11), and two drow keys (48 and
24 "How do I activate the (grail) portal in the middle of the
Stars on Level 11? Where does it go?"
The Stone Grail can be found be going into the room where
there is a message reading "Chwat" on the wall (51, L11). Go to
the eastern pillar, look on the western face, and you will find a
secret button that will open a passage to the south. Thi ge will
lead to a series of rooms that contain a drow key and the Stone
Grail .
25. "How do I get down to Level 12 from Level 11?"
The player needs the two drow keys and the Stone Orb.
They need to go through the Southern door, and explore to the end
of that area, until they find a three-by-five room. Search for a
secret button on the west wall. That will open a western p that
leads into a seven-by-seven square room with a locked door in the
middle. Unlock the door and use the Stone Orb to teleport down.
Give them the info from Answer 21 next, they'll need it.
26. "Where is the Stone Orb and the Orb of Knowledge?"
Go through the northern door on Level 11. The Stone Orb
is in a secret room next to the message "Room of the Key." (46,
L11) There is a secret button on the west wall. The Orb of
Power is through the eastern door, past the room with "Chwat."
wall of one room (55, L11) is a secret button that will open a
passage south. The Orb is here (56, L11).
27. "Where is the Throne room with the secret exit that the
dwarves tell me about?"
They are talking about Level 12, after you defeat the
Beholder, and finish the game.
28. "What is the message at the end of the Hall of Thieves on
Level 9? Why does it say, 'You forgot something?'"
The Hall of Thieves (29, L9) is stealing stuff from the
characters. When you reach the message and it says, "You forgot
something," step on the pressure plate to deactivate the hall,
then walk back and get your items out of the alcoves along the y.
The message should then read, "Thank You."
29. "I'm standing next to a bunch of messages on Level 9 that
tell me to donate food, armor, weapon, and missile. What do I
Put down one piece of armor, one weapon, one ration, and
either a rock, dart, or an arrow on the missile pad. The door
should open. The player will be able to grab his weapons after
the door opens
30. "What does, 'Only the cunning and agile shall survive,' on
Level 9 mean?"
The characters need to run down the hallway (54, L9)
without pausing or they will get smacked with a fireball.
31. "What do I do on Level 6 where it says, 'Store weapons
before proceeding'?"
Drop two weapons on both pressure pads to open the doors.
You will be able to take these weapons back after the door is
32. "What do I do with those levers that say 'In case of
fire...' and 'In case of flood...'?"
Those are just traps. Don't pull those, they'll hurt
33. "I can't open this locked door. I'm out of keys. What do I
There are enough keys in the game for all the locks.
Take time to explore each level entirely. If you have used the
keys on your level, go back up one flight and look around there.
35. "How do I get my characters to use their weapons."
This person is an idiot. Explain that the manual for
this game is about fifty pages long, and they need to sit down
and read it very carefully as there is so much information in it.
If they persist in being an idiot, tell them to pull down the
that shows the character's body, take a sword or weapon out of
their inventory, and place it in the hand box. Once they have
done this with each character, they need to go back to the
scree in the box with the weapon and the button is pushed, the
character will use his weapon.
36. "The manual refers to some tables on pages that don't exist.
What's going on?"
Due to size constraints, we had to removes two pages,
because Nintendo has a cap on the number of pages you can have in
a manual. These tables are unimportant. If the person is
extremely anal-retentive, tell them if they are really interested
i ables, they can buy Dungeons and Dragons Player's Manual, and
all the experience tables will be there.
37. "I'm on Level 7, where there are three doors marked
'Weapon,' 'Armor,' and 'Magic.' Can I go in all the rooms?"
No, you can only go into one of the three rooms (73, 76,
79, L9), just like a game show (will you take what's behind door
#1, door #2, or door #3?). The items are +3 short sword, +3
Eleven Bracers of Defense, and a Ring of Wizardry.
38. "What does the unrecognized symbol on the first floor
It doesn't mean anything. Ignore it.
39. "What do I do with the Blue and Red Gems on Level 3?"
The player needs to but the blue gems in the eyes of the
creatures carved in the walls (54, 56, 62, 63, L3). Once all
four gems are in the eyes, doors will open in two of the gem
alcoves (56, 63, L3), allowing the players to reach the stairs
goi to Level 4. The red gems are used for the jewel box cases
(23, 32, L3) to open those doors. If the player has put the blue
gem into the jewel case, they need to start over the game from
the begining, as there aren't any extra gems.
40. "What do I do with those Kenku eggs?"
You can eat them for food, save them for the special
quests, or give them to the pair of drow guards on Level 7.
41. "Where are all the portal keys?"
Check the manual on page 69.

The last words from the cockpit of a missing Malaysia Airlines jet were a standard "Goodnight Malaysian three seven zero", Malaysian authorities have said.
That changes its account of the critical last communication from a more casual "All right, good night".
The correction more than three weeks after Flight MH370 vanished with 239 people on board was made as Malaysian authorities face heavy criticism, particularly from China, for mismanaging the search and holding back information.
Malaysian authorities released the transcript of communications between the cockpit crew and air traffic controllers, saying the exchanges showed nothing untoward.
"There is no indication of anything abnormal in the transcript," a statement by Defence and Transport Minister Hishammuddin Hussein said.
Painstaking analysis of radar data and limited satellite information has focused the search on a vast swath of the southern Indian Ocean west of the Australian city of Perth, but has so far failed to spot any sign of the plane.
Search coordinators warned the hunt could drag on for some time yet.
"In this case, the last known position was a long, long way from where the aircraft appears to have gone," retired Air Chief Marshal Angus Houston, the head of the Australian agency coordinating the operation, told reporters in Perth.
"It's very complex, it's very demanding and we don't have hard information like we might normally have," he said.
The Boeing 777 disappeared from civilian radar in the early hours of 8 March as it flew from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing.
Its communications were cut off and it turned back across Malaysia and headed towards the Indian Ocean.
Malaysia says the plane was likely diverted deliberately, probably by a skilled aviator, leading to speculation of involvement by one or more of the pilots.
Investigators, however, have determined no apparent motive or other red flags among the 227 passengers and 12 crew.
"We would like to confirm that the last conversation in the transcript between the air traffic controller and the cockpit is at 0119 (Malaysian Time) and is "Good night Malaysian three seven zero," the Department of Civil Aviation said in a statement.
Malaysia's ambassador to China told Chinese families in Beijing as early as 12 March that the last words had been "All right, good night".
About two-thirds of the passengers on board were Chinese.
The department said authorities were still conducting "forensic investigation" to determine whether the last words from the cockpit were by the pilot or the co-pilot.
Malaysia Airlines had previously said the words were believed to have come from the co-pilot.
Elsewhere, nine ships and ten aircraft resumed the hunt for wreckage from MH370 this morning.
They are hoping to recover more than fishing gear and other flotsam found since Australian authorities moved the search 685 miles (1,100km) north after new analysis of radar and satellite data.
Mr Houston said the challenging search, in an area the size of Ireland, would continue based on the imperfect information with which they had to work.
"But, inevitably, if we don't find any wreckage on the surface, we are eventually going to have to, probably in consultation with everybody who has a stake in this, review what to do next," he said.

Volume Tables - Tips and Tricks
Transportation Volume Tables give the Annual Average Daily Traffic Volume (AADT). This is a rough guide to how much motor vehicle traffic is on a section of roadway.
1. Look Up the Highway Number
The highways are listed by the official ODOT highway number not the route number (Highway 101, Interstate 5, etc.) with which you are likely to be more familiar. To find the official ODOT Highway Number Use the State Highway Cross Reference:
2. Look Up the Appropriate Table
Using the Official Highway Number select the appropriate link [range of highway numbers]
The link will open an Adobe PDF® file that will show traffic volumes on the group of highway segments for 2004 (the most recent year that ODOT has data). If you are interested in a particular section of the highway, you will need to know the approximate mile point to locate that section of roadway. In Oregon the zero mile point is at the most Northerly or Westerly end of the road. Interstate 5 is the one exception: the zero mile point for I-5 is at the California Border. The tables provide some basic location information to help with this task.

The Embraer Phenom 100 light jet recently received type certificate validation by the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC), the Brazilian aircraft manufacturer announced today. "Embraer has been strengthening its market position in China's executive aviation market over the past few years," said Embraer China president Guan Dongyuan. "The CAAC's certificate for the Phenom 100 is great news for Embraer and prospective customers. With the approval, the company can deliver copies of the eight-seat jets to Chinese customers.

Action Teams
Pasco School District in Washington state and Saint Paul Public Schools in Minnesota are, at first glance, very different. Pasco, an agricultural community with roughly 46,500 residents but growing rapidly, had 12,516 students enrolled in 16 schools last fall. Saint Paul, Minnesota's capital, with roughly 277,000 people, is the state's second largest school district, with more than 42,000 students in 67 schools and special programs.
But there are similarities. The poverty rates are high in both, with 68 percent of students qualifying for free or reduced price meals in Pasco and 71 percent in Saint Paul. In Pasco, 65 percent of homes are non-English speaking or bilingual, and in these homes the first language is usually Spanish. In Saint Paul, 42 percent of students have a home language other than English. Saint Paul students speak 103 languages and dialects.
But what truly bonds Pasco and Saint Paul is their participation in the National Network of Partnership Schools (NNPS), part of the Center on School, Family and Community Partnerships at Johns Hopkins University. Founded in 1996 by Joyce L. Epstein, a professor of sociology who still directs it, NNPS invites schools, districts, states and organizations to join the network and use research-based approaches to organize and sustain programs of family and community involvement that will increase student success, including boosting attendance and doing homework.
Until two years ago, 16 public schools in Pasco usually began the school year with an open house where parents and teachers could meet. Held a week or two after opening day, the events did not always satisfy parents' needs for information and assurance about what their children could expect in the months ahead, says Deidra McCollum, a partnership network coordinator in the Pasco School District.
In 2005, many schools tried something new. They replaced the open houses with more informal functions barbecues, picnics, and ice cream socials before the school year began. Students came with their parents, met their teachers and learned such basics as where buses would drop them off in the mornings and where they should line up "those things that sometimes make the start of school stressful for parents and students alike," says McCollum, who also oversees testing and assessment activities in the district. "We found that these events really changed the atmosphere on the first day of school. They eased the tension, everybody knew where they were going and what they were doing, and parents started to build a relationship with the teachers before school even started."
At Homecroft Elementary School in Saint Paul, parents also met with teachers to discuss student performance. But for many families, that wasn't enough. Now, Homecroft holds functions like "reading nights," "math nights" and "study skills nights" throughout the year. Students join in or the school provides child care or activities while parents attend an informational meeting with teachers, says Arty Dorman, Homecroft's principal. Located in a diverse neighborhood, Homecroft has earned the nickname "Home Sweet Homecroft" for involving families.
Network of Partnerships
More than 1,000 schools in 140 districts across the United States are in the national network, which costs $100 per school and $200 per district annually. Epstein says other organizations such as PTOs and PTAs promote family involvement in school activities, but the distinction of NNPS is the research it conducts " always building new knowledge and translating the results of our studies into tools and materials that schools and districts can use to structure and organize these programs." Through publications, training programs and other activities, including recognition of best practices by network members, NNPS shares its research results with members and the broader education community.
The NNPS has a model with three prongs schools, parents and communities but the community arm needs to be bolstered. And the model includes six types of involvement: parenting, communicating, volunteering, learning at home, decision making, and collaborating with the community. The model is flexible so that it can be customized to any school or district, regardless of its demographics.
Epstein says studies show that students whose parents are involved tend to do better in school, although there is no data that links the two. "Many districts are looking for ways to connect their families in meaningful ways to their children's education. The deep question for us was how to make that connection with willing parents in a way that makes a difference in student achievement," says Pasco Superintendent of Schools Saundra Hill.
Families are encouraged to play a central role, particularly in high-poverty and minority districts like Pasco and Saint Paul. "We have many parents with very little experience themselves in a school setting," Hill says. "It can be a scary institution to them. My goal is to make sure their voices are heard."
"We have families that don't read much in English and maybe don't read much at all," adds Dorman. Involving parents helps them understand what their children are learning and how they can help them at home, he and Hill agree.
Nuts and Bolts
Teamwork is vital to success. The process of forming a partnership begins with creating a team at each school an "action team for partnership" or ATP including the principal, parents, teachers and other staff members. ATPs typically include a PTA/PTO representative. High school ATPs also include two students. Other members come from the community, including businesspeople, interfaith leaders and representatives of literary and cultural organizations.
All are volunteers, solicited by the principal and other team members. Teams have about six to 12 members, depending on the size of a school's student body. The national network recommends that one parent and a teacher or school administrator serve as co-chairs. Then team members, who serve renewable terms of two or three years, split into subcommittees to address the six types of involvement in the NNPS model. Teams meet monthly and during the summer to plan for the next year and acquaint themselves with each other. And a district coordinator usually trains team members in the six elements.
Team members write a yearlong action plan for partnership activities at its school that includes the model's elements.
A successful component of the national network's model is that it is flexible and can be manipulated to work for any building, says McCollum.
In Pasco, Longfellow Elementary School holds monthly "Student Recognition Assemblies" where parents and honor students with worthy character traits are invited by teachers.
At the McLoughlin Middle School, a "Reading Partners" event last fall brought parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles to school to read with students. At Pasco High School, the ATP invited parents to their children's classes on "Poetry/Short Story Coffee Night" to learn to write what their children wrote as part of a plan to involve parents.
Throughout the year, ATPs send flyers, newsletters and other materials, sometimes in Spanish and English, about activities to parents. Teams monitor progress, assessing strengths and weaknesses and documenting results, and learn how to make them better, McCollum says. School and district coordinators must complete surveys at year's end to evaluate progress. Upon returning the surveys, NNPS pays the renewal fees for a year.
"When we entered this program, every school already did things that involved parents, but now they do things that are a lot more directed," says McCollum. Emerson Elementary School in Pasco, for example, has replaced its fall open house with "curriculum fairs" held each trimester in the school gym. The Emerson ATP sets up booths that parents can visit to learn from teachers what their kids will be doing in math, reading and science in the next trimester, McCollum explains. "It's a different type of atmosphere, and they've had great turnouts," she says. "They give parents ideas they can work with to help their kids at home."
How to Get Started
Hill heard about the NNPS program at a state conference for elected school board members and sent a team of Pasco administrators to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore in 2005 to learn more. "Sometimes superintendents come up with these great ideas and you can see by staff members' faces what they are thinking 'oh, no, here we go again.' I sent them to Baltimore with every question a naysayer might ask. When they got back, they had a clear picture of how we could do it here. They were just so excited," Hill says.
The district acted quickly to join the network and create partnerships. By the end of the 2004-2005 school year, they had put together an ATP at a trial elementary school. When schools opened in the fall, ATPs were in all 16 schools.
At Saint Paul, Dorman was the driving force behind bringing NNPS to the district. Earlier, as a school principal in another district in the state, he had his school join the network.
"It seemed to be just what we needed," he says. When he joined the Saint Paul district staff in 1998 as manager for family and community involvement, he saw no formal community involvement program. For example, if a school had an ice cream social, organizers would ask if a district office staff member could help serve the ice cream, or if they had certificates to give the volunteers, he recalls.
"It didn't feel like there was a whole lot of value in it," he says. "There was no sense of how a few people at the district office could facilitate family and community partnerships" at all the district's schools. So in 1998, the Saint Paul district joined the network, leaving the decision to participate to principals. About 50 schools participate today. "I told the principals, 'If you join this network, you will get a lot more help from our office because we will be organized to provide help based on this model," he says.
District Leadership Requirement
NNPS requires that districts create or identify an office, department or program of school, family and community partnerships and allocate an annual budget for staff salaries and program activities. In Pasco, McCollum and Lorraine Landon, who coordinates the district's parent education center, are co-coordinators of the partnership, which is part of the district's student achievement department. They attend ATP meetings and school events, often sharing information about one school's activities with teams at other schools so teams can learn what works and what doesn't. And some schools are beginning to work together on activities. Two elementary schools and a middle school planned a Cinco de Mayo function. "It was a fun thing to see them start to work together and share ideas," McCollum adds.
By contrast, Joe Munnich, who succeeded Dorman in running the Saint Paul district program, is the only staff member overseeing partnerships in 50 schools. The original six members were cut. "Those are the realities of budget cuts, which just seem to pop up everywhere," Epstein says.
Munnich says he works with action teams at some schools but cannot attend all meetings or oversee all activities.
According to NNPS, the average budget for school partnership programs is about $4,000. But for large districts, staff and program costs average about $85,000. Many partnerships tap funds such as federal Title I grants earmarked for parental involvement programs and foundations.
Epstein says that while participation in NNPS is school-based and voluntary, written policies on effective partnership programs are helpful, which the Saint Paul School Board adopted in 2002. It states that the board believes a family's involvement in its child's education in pre-K12 has a positive impact on the student's success and gives each school responsibility for developing a program. Dorman and Munnich hope that a district wide strategic planning process under the new superintendent Meria Carstarphen who joined last year will restore leadership and administrative structure to the program. Meanwhile, Munnich runs it from a new district office of community relations, in part identifying what key activities need to be done.
Weak Spots
In both Pasco and Saint Paul, partnership coordinators see other weak spots that need reinforcement. "A lot of teams would like to have more community involvement from businesspeople, nonprofits and other groups," McCollum says.
A local grocery store manager is on the Maya Angelou Elementary School ATP. Last year, he corralled volunteers from his store staff and nearby businesses to read to students on Dr. Seuss Day. And members of a nonprofit community action committee sit on ATPs at two other schools.
Training also is a vital element of partnership programs. NNPS members are invited to a fall leadership development conference every year. New district leaders are invited to a leadership institute to prepare. "Over time, schools have turnover on their teams, so it's important to continue to offer training," Dorman says.
Despite the Saint Paul district's staffing problems, two elementary schools Cherokee Heights and Phalen Lake won NNPS partnership awards last year.
Cherokee Heights was honored for strengthening and sustaining its program even while transitioning to new grade configurations from serving grades 4-6 to serving grades pre-K6. Phalen Lake exuded quality in leadership, teamwork, action plans, and progress over time. Each school received $500 from NNPS to apply to parental involvement. And before budget cuts began to take their toll, Saint Paul also won NNPS district awards.
Only in its second year, Pasco has no awards, but "the progress we have seen in our high-poverty schools has really been impressive," says Hill. Twelve schools participated in an essay contest this year, compared to five schools the first year.
Although she cannot link them to the impact of the partnerships, Pasco students' scores on the Washington Assessment of Student Learning have been impressive, Hill adds. WASL scores for fourth-graders in one school jumped from 40 percent in 2004-2005 to 67 percent in 2005-2006, the partnership's first year. And seventh-graders' writing scores in another school increased from 40 to 52 percent the same period. "We're a small part of the world," Hill says, "but we're working hard on this."

Ingredients and procedures for brewing 5 gallons of TommyKnocker Maple Brown Ale
1) Add 1 1/2 gallons of water to the brewing pot. Pour the crushed grains into a grain bag and tie the bag closed. Place the bag into the water and allow the grains to steep over medium heat (the water should be steamy, not boiling). After 30 minutes, remove the pot from the heat, remove and discard the grain bag.
Grains used in this recipe:
3/4 lb. Light Munich
2) Pour the following malt extract(s) into the pot while stirring constantly. Return the pot to the heat and bring the contents of the pot, now called wort, to a boil.
Malt extract(s) used in this recipe:
6 lbs. Light Malt Syrup
3) The wort will boil for a total of 60 minutes during which time the following hops and other ingredients will be added to the boil. At the start of the boil add the following BITTERING HOPS to boil for the entire 60 minutes:
.5 oz. Chinook
30 minutes from the end of the boil add the following FLAVOR HOPS:
.5 oz. Fuggle
5 minutes from the end of the boil add the following AROMA HOPS:
.5 oz. Fuggle
4) At the end of the 60 minute boil, remove the pot from the heat then remove and discard the hop bags. Allow the wort to cool to about 90ºF. (Note: Use a wort chiller to hasten this very important step. Also, be sure that anything that will come into contact with the chilled wort is properly sanitized.)
5) While the wort is cooling, add 3 gallons of cold water to the primary fermenter. Add the chilled wort and enough additional cold water to bring the total volume up to 5 gallons. At this point, take a sample of the wort for the specific gravity reading, refer to your hydrometer instructions for taking this reading.
6) The proper temperature at which to pitch (add to the wort) the yeast is in the 65ºF-75ºF range. If necessary, place the fermenter into a cold (or warm) water bath to bring the temperature into this range . When the temperature is correct, pitch the yeast. (Note: If a dry yeast is used, rehydrate it prior to pitching by sprinkling it on top of 1/2 cup of water that has been boiled and cooled to 85ºF. Allow the yeast to rehydrate, unstirred, for no more than 15-20 minutes before pitching.) NOTE: The yeast required for this recipe is WLP001 California or Wyeast 1056 American.
7) Install an airlock or blowoff hose to the fermenter and move the fermenter to a dark spot for primary fermentation.
8) Allow the beer to ferment for one week in the primary fermenter, then rack (transfer) the beer into a secondary fermenter for an additional week to clear. At the end of the second week, record the specific gravity reading. A steady specific gravity reading of different samples over two or more days indicates that fermentation is complete.
9) When fermentation is complete, proceed with bottling. In a bottling bucket, add 3/4 cup of corn sugar or 11/4 cups of dry malt that has been boiled in 2 cups of water. Gently rack the finished beer into the bottling bucket with the priming sugar solution. Using a bottle filling tip, fill the bottles to 1/2" - 1" from the top. Cap the bottles and allow them to condition at room temperature for two weeks.

You find this mass anchored in the Yellow Sea (google map) off the Korean coast, attached by a thin line of gravel and asphalt (drawn in the straight line which is the international tell of the engineer) to New Songdo City, the massive planned addition to the port of Incheon. A perfect rectangle in a bay of irregular mud flats shaped by the eroding tides, dotted with giant holding tanks and extending to the south a pair of long tendrils of pipe and steel. A fascinating piece of infrastructural detritus. Your first (and incorrect) assumption is that it is related to the process of land construction for Songdo; perhaps it holds dredge on the left, and treats water in the middle? But zooming in you see stranger, unexpected artifacts: a golf course, roads planned for pedestrians, an 88-meter tall spire that looms over the tanks, a series of formal gardens.
Though it is unlabeled on the map, a bit of work (your first clues: read the labels of the storage tanks, and cross-reference that with the address you get by querying the location of the tanks in google maps) uncovers that the rectangle is the Incheon LNG Terminal, one of the world's largest liquid natural gas terminals.
This, it turns out, is one of the most fascinating studio projects never assigned:
1. Select a bay off the coast of a major port city.
2. Choose a regular geometric form; this will be the piece of land you will raise, like some prosaic Atlantis, from that bay. You may set the scale of the form at your discretion.
3. Select a major form of contemporary urban infrastructure, such as oil terminal, nuclear power plant, or wastewater treatment plant. This will be the primary program for your island.
4. The island will also house workers for that infrastructure. They will need roads, stores, restaurants, and places to entertain themselves in between trips across the long road back to the mainland. A golf course is suggested.
5. Build a museum on that island, to explain the history, necessity, and importance of your island's chosen infrastructure. Give the museum a whimsical entry court, filled with some sort of set of memorials to the un-famous personages who invented the various components and processes integral to your island's chosen infrastructure. Finally, construct an observation tower from which the visitors to your island can observe, through telescope, the details of your island's chosen infrastructure.
6. Frost your island with gardens, preferably referencing the traditions of other cultures: for instance, if your island is off the coast of Korea you might choose to plant hedges reminiscent of French royal gardens.
7. Do not forget that this island — even the museum and gardens — already exists.

The Yankees are heading into the final stretch with plenty of late speed under the saddle.
Already in first place, the Bronx Bombers went out and nabbed veterans Lance Berkman, Kerry Wood and Austin Kearns at the trade deadline to mix in with the club's already potent roster.
This trio joins outfielder Curtis Granderson, also a newcomer to the 2010 Yankees, as key pieces to a World Series puzzle.
Granderson was hampered with a groin injury earlier this season but has since returned and is anchoring the back-end of the Yanks powerful order. Through 82 contests, he's hitting .246 with 45 runs scored, 10 homers and 42 RBIs.
Berkman, meanwhile, has struggled as a Yankee, hitting just .133 with one RBI in 15 at-bats. Wood has also started off on the wrong foot as he's coughed up one run on a pair of hits and two walks in just 1 2/3 innings.
Which 2010 Yankee acquisition will have the greatest impact down the stretch? Text "SOX1" to 542542 for Granderson. Text "SOX2" to 542542 for Wood. Or, text "SOX3" to 542542 for Berkman.

Presidential candidate John Edwards and his family recently moved into what county tax officials say is the most valuable home in Orange County. The house, which includes a recreational building attached to the main living quarters, also is probably the largest in the county.John Kerry was married to one of the richest people in the country,and John Edwards was a good ideological pick.No word yet on Edwards or Kerry voluntarily paying more in taxes to bridge the "gap" between the two Americas.Who ever said socialism was a movement of the downtrodden?
The Edwards residential property will likely have the highest tax value in the county,- Orange County Tax Assessor John Smith told Carolina Journal. He estimated that the tax value will exceed $6 million when the facility is completed.
The rambling structure sits in the middle of a 102-acre estate on Old Greensboro Road west of Chapel Hill. The heavily wooded site and winding driveway ensure that the home is not visible from the road. "No Trespassing" signs discourage passersby from venturing past the gate.

Have you ever wanted an article of clothing that gets brighter as CO2 levels increase? Odds are not only is that not something you ever wanted, it is also probably not something that you ever thought about before. Well, someone thought of, and created, the "Climate Dress." This lovely dress has over 100 LED lights sewn right into it that react to C02 levels in the air. You won't be able to do anything about the bad air you're breathing, but you will draw attention to yourself. Why make this dress? The good people over at DIFFUS, say that it is all part of their goal "to support the interaction between human and computer technology in a non-screen-based environment - an environment with physical and sensual qualities appealing to our human intuition and adapted to our daily life."
We'll go with that, largely because we aren't sure what they're talking about.
