Ryan & Maniskas, LLP Announces Class Action Lawsuit Against L & L Energy, Inc.
Oct 03, 2013, 19:15 ET from Ryan & Maniskas, LLP
WAYNE, Pa., Oct. 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Ryan & Maniskas, LLP announces that a class action lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of all persons or entities that purchased the common stock of L & L Energy, Inc. ("L & L Energy" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LLEN) common stock between September 11, 2012 and September 18, 2013, inclusive (the "Class Period").
(Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20121112/MM11729LOGO )
For more information regarding this class action suit, please contact Ryan & Maniskas, LLP (Richard A. Maniskas, Esquire) toll-free at (877) 316-3218 or by email at email@example.com or visit: www.rmclasslaw.com/cases/llen.
The complaint charges the Company and certain of its officers and directors with violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. L&L Energy, through its subsidiaries, engages in the production, processing and sale of coal in the People's Republic of China.
The Complaint alleges that the Company issued false and/or misleading statements and failed to disclose material facts concerning the Company's business, operations and financial performance. Specifically, the Complaint alleges that the defendants misrepresented or failed to disclose that: (1) the Company improperly accounted for substantial revenue from operations that were already shut down; (2) the Company claimed acquisitions and divestitures of various properties through swap transactions that never occurred through the exchange of assets it actually never owned; (3) the Company lacked adequate internal and financial controls; and (4), as a result of the foregoing, L&L Energy's financial results were materially false and misleading at all relevant times.
On September 19, 2013, in an article by GeoInvesting published on the Seeking Alpha website, GeoInvesting alleged that the Company has been "booking substantial revenue from operations that have been idled for quite some time," that numerous acquisitions and divestitures by the Company have amounted to a "bait and switch shell game" by utilizing swap transactions that never occurred," and that reported revenue of $77.6 million generated from the Company's Hong Xing coal washing factory "was actually close to zero, if it is not actually zero."
Following this news, the price of L&L Energy shares dropped $0.80 per share, or more than 38%, to a closing price of $1.27 per share on September 19, 2013, on extremely heavy volume of more than 18 million shares traded.
If you are a member of the class, you may, no later than November 22, 2013, request that the Court appoint you as lead plaintiff of the class. A lead plaintiff is a representative party that acts on behalf of other class members in directing the litigation. In order to be appointed lead plaintiff, the Court must determine that the class member's claim is typical of the claims of other class members, and that the class member will adequately represent the class. Under certain circumstances, one or more class members may together serve as "lead plaintiff." Your ability to share in any recovery is not, however, affected by the decision whether or not to serve as a lead plaintiff. You may retain Ryan & Maniskas, LLP or other counsel of your choice, to serve as your counsel in this action.

Report on the Gaza War Rightly Outrages Israelis
Israelis are rightly outraged at the content of the recently issued Goldstone Commission Report on Israel's war in Gaza (Cover story: "Report on Israel's War in Gaza Sparks Debate and Much Protest," Sept. 24).
A few days after the report was published, Richard Goldstone's daughter wrote in The Jerusalem Post that her father is a Zionist and loves Israel.
I would beg to differ. Either he does not love Israel, or he is not very bright. If he were smarter, he would truly understand the world in which Israel lives — the dangerous world in which all of us live.
If that had been done, the report would have included the following:
· Israel evacuated Israelis from the Gaza Strip so that Palestinians/Gazans could be responsible for their lives as much as possible without Israeli interference. In return, Israel expected that the southern part of the country would be able to live in peace and quiet.
Instead, the leaders of Gaza allowed, and often encouraged, thousands of Kassam rockets to be fired into southern Israel during seven years prior to the war criticized in the report.
It is the belief of this commission, therefore, that had Israel not been subject to indiscriminate and persistent missile attacks from the Gaza Strip, the Jewish state would not have had to send military forces there to defend its civilian population. Therefore, the major responsibility for this war lies with the Palestinian leadership, and specifically, with Hamas. (The report, of course, said no such thing.).
· We acknowledge that the Israeli military forces went to significant lengths to avoid innocent loss of life. This included phone calls to warn civilians to evacuate buildings targeted for military strikes. Informational leaflets were also dropped from aircraft. Needless to say, there was nothing similar done by Hamas with their indiscriminate missile-firing on Israeli civilians.
· Given the above context, it was the responsibility of the commission to investigate the war activities of both sides to determine whether there may have been illegal or immoral use of military force that can be considered war crimes.
Also, the timing of the release of this report — one week before Rosh Hashanah — was quite unfortunate.
Together with the incredibly tragic recent death of Assaf Ramon, this U.N. report has certainly added to the festive atmosphere of the holidays.

Conservative Movement's Pitching Wrong Message
In your story "Sweeping Changes Start Shaking Up Conservative Movement" (Nation & World, Sept. 24), an indisputable point was made, in language more common to the business world: If you are marketing to a rapidly shrinking target, it can only lead to a smaller and shrinking enterprise.
Rabbi Steven Wernick, in his interview with the Forward, was right when he stated: "We don't believe," about Conservative Jews. No apology should have been given for his insight. The Conservative movement has never defined the "tradition" it is attempting to preserve and what change that it advocates.
Only Wernick's venue was all wrong.
The Law Committee at the Jewish Theological Seminary has failed to define what the movement believes, nor does it provide support to local rabbis in that belief.
Rather than "process and landmark nondecisions in direct contradiction to the Bible, how about ruling on some issues that ignore political correctness and define the movement?
For example: What does shomer Shabbat mean when synagogues serve communities so large that only a few members can walk, and where electricity flows like water?
What is the role of kashrut when only Orthodox supervision makes kosher-meat products and restaurants available?
When are traditionally male ritual requirements mandatory on women to participate in synagogue life?
The true "market" for the United Synagogue of America is not synagogues, but Conservative Judaism as a whole.

Normally, it's the bride who plans her entire wedding to the last bit. This wasn't going to be so forElisabeth, for right after they had shared their vows, back in 2002, the pastormade an announcement that she had not included in the program. The pastor declared that the groom was about to present a gift to the bride. That's when Alan sat on a piano, and decided to serenade his newly married wife with an amazing song, one that he wrote himself, for her.
This was special because not only was this happeningbeforetheir very first kiss, but neither of them had kissed someone else before this day. Alan met Elisabeth during an orchestra, in which they both performed. It was at this time that he wrote a poem that led him to pursue Elizabeth. He had been working on the poem ever since, with the intention of turning it to a song. He only managed to do this a few days before the wedding.
The guests burst into applause when he was done, right before he gave his wife the first kiss. This couple was brought together by music and they continue to earn a living for it, together. They are both Orchestra directors. Alan at a local middle school, and Elisabeth at a local high school,
Please SHARE this amazing moment with family and friends!

September 16, 2011
Since 2009, when he shut down every premier receiver he faced, New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis(notes) has been known as one of the two or three best at his position in the NFL. In 2010, he didn't have an interception after picking off six passes the year before, but as we know about cornerbacks, stats can be extremely misleading -- Revis' targets plummeted from 96 to 55, per Football Outsiders. Revis' last-second pick of Tony Romo in the Jets' 2011 season opener against the Dallas Cowboys was a brilliant example of how to bait a quarterback, and should serve as a reminder to everyone in the league that throwing to Revis under any circumstances … well, it's not really smart.
However, as the Jets prepare to welcome the Jacksonville Jaguars to MetLife Stadium for their Week 2 showdown, there's one receiver who isn't as impressed by Revis as he probably should be. Jason Hill(notes) (who?) believes that Revis' reputation is based to a degree on that old real estate maxim — location, location, location. Before the media could even give him the question about what it might be like to go up against Revis, Hill had a ready — and very strange — answer.
"Same one that everyone else gives us," Hill said of the question. "This is a league full of great players. I think sometimes they get overhyped. I talked to [Jaguars safety] Drew [Coleman], Drew played there. He says it's just the aura of New York. They got a big media. That's not the Jacksonville paper, that's the big New York Times paper so they get more pub[licity]. That's what it is.
Um … so you're saying that Revis is overhyped … not as good as we think he is … because he plays in New York?
"It's a game that we all play. He's been playing the game, Revis, just as long as I've been playing. This is a game full of good players making plays. He just made a lot more plays on TV than we've made being here in Jacksonville. He's a good player. We respect him. Hopefully he respects us because we're going to bring it just like they're going to bring it."
Note: C.J. Ah You(notes), Chansi Stuckey(notes), Yamon Figurs(notes) and Sabby Piscitelli(notes) have also played as long as Revis has … and they've each been about as effective as Hill.
"He's a good player, Pro Bowl player, I'm trying to make it to the Pro Bowl, too. This'll be a good game to put some notches on our belts too. It's the New York Times vs. the Jacksonville paper. New York Times, they got a lot more viewers than you got."
Yeouch. That last shot was to Tania Ganguli of the Florida Times-Union, who picked up the quote and ran with it on her blog.
So, let's talk about Jason Hill's credentials. Since the San Francisco 49ers took him in the third round of the 2007 draft, Hill has caught 55 career balls for 714 yards and five touchdowns. That's not in one season — that's the guy's entire career. Hill did catch four balls for 53 yards in Jacksonville's season-opening win against the Tennessee Titans, and that may be why he's feeling so bold right now — he's well on his way to exceeding 2010's total of (snicker) 11 catches in six games.
As you might expect, Revis wasn't quite sure who Hill even was when he was told of the comments.
"I don't even know who that dude is. What's his name again? I have no clue. I don't know who he is, whatever he said is what he said. Whatever his opinion is of us, we'll find out on Sunday. I don't care what he says, I don't know him. He don't know me, he don't know the Jets, so he'll find out on Sunday."
Of course, the best part of this whole story is that Hill isn't even sure to play against the Jets — he didn't participate in Jacksonville's Wednesday and Thursday practices because he's dealing with a hip injury, and he's listed as doubtful.
"Well he shouldn't have been talking in the first place, because he can't back it up now," Revis said.
Still, Hill's convinced that Revis and his pals, who have made the last two AFC Championship games while the Jags have failed to make the playoffs since 2007, are simply basking in a glow they don't deserve.
"That's the way it is. That's what it is. It's not just the Giants, Jets, same thing with the Knicks. I'm a Golden State Warriors fan, but the Knicks get more hype. Not that they're better. They just get more hype 'cause they're from New York."
OK, Mr. Hill. Let's just hope you're not spouting that opinion from the sideline on Sunday, because we'd really love to see you tear Darrelle Revis up on the field.
As Jets teammate Bart Scott(notes) would say, we're sure that Mr. Revis can't wait.

Information literacy has been a hot topic of recent conversation. Many folks believe that web sites that traffic in false information and 'fake news' may have influenced the last United States presidential election. Traffic on the Snopes web site, which debunks false rumors, has never been greater. Ideological separation also is being driven by the ways that we sort ourselves in our schools, neighborhoods, friendship groups, political affiliations, and faith institutions. Already often isolated from the dissimilar-minded, we then also self-select into individualized news media and online channels that can result in walled-garden 'echo chambers' or 'filter bubbles.'

Former Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling announced Wednesday afternoon that he has been diagnosed with cancer.
Schilling has dealt with heart problems since retiring from baseball in 2007, and his wife, Shonda, previously battled cancer in 2001.
"Shonda and I want to send a sincere thank you and our appreciation to those who have called and sent prayers, and we ask that if you are so inclined, to keep the Schilling family in your prayers," Schilling said in his statement released by ESPN.
Schilling was a part of the 2004 and 2007 Red Sox championship teams, and he won another World Series with the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2001. Since retiring, he has worked as a baseball analyst for ESPN, signing a new multi-year contract with the network in December. Neither Schilling nor ESPN commented on Schilling's plans for the upcoming season.
"Our thoughts are with Curt and his family during this challenging time," the network said in a statement. "His ESPN teammates wish him continued strength in his cancer fight and we look forward to welcoming him back to our baseball coverage whenever he's ready."
Schilling spent 20 years in the majors, compiling 215 wins and earning six All-Star nods. His final four seasons were spent in Boston, and he said Wednesday that he will draw inspiration from the patients at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, with whom the Red Sox are highly involved.
"My father left me with a saying that I've carried my entire life and tried to pass on to our kids: 'tough times don't last, tough people do,'" Schilling said. "Over the years in Boston, the kids at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute have shown us what that means. With my incredibly talented medical team I'm ready to try and win another big game. I've been so very blessed and I feel grateful for what God has allowed my family to have and experience, and I'll embrace this fight just like the rest of them, with resolute faith and head on."

Conflict and Collisions: New Contemporary Sculpture
Wednesday 1 October 2014 – Sunday 25 January 2015
This autumn The Hepworth Wakefield presents Conflict and Collisions: New Contemporary Sculpture, an exciting programme of new contemporary art that features three new solo exhibitions and commissions by artists Alexandra Bircken, Folkert de Jong and Toby Ziegler.
This will be the first institutional UK solo show for each artist. Coinciding with this year's WW1 commemorations, each exhibition considers themes of historical and contemporary combat and of man versus machine, with handmade and hand-finished objects opposing mechanical weaponry, state-of-the art digital technologies and 3D printing.
German artist Alexandra Bircken presents a series of recent works that showcase a new approach in her practice, as well as a new site-specific commission for The Hepworth Wakefield. Her exhibition includes B.U.F.F, 2014, comprising four component works (Big, 2014; Ugly, 2014; Fat, 2014; Fellow, 2014 that collectively refer to the American B-52 bombers, used by the United States Air Force from the 1950s, as well as Mercedes gear-sticks and a leather demolition ball. Her new installation features 'leather skins' draped on a series of intersecting ladders, which allude to Barbara Hepworth's iconic 'stringed sculptures' that can be found elsewhere in The Hepworth Wakefield.
Essay: Deflated Bodies: A Tale of Material & Skin by Eleanor Clayton, Curator, The Hepworth Wakefield.
In Alexandra Bircken's work, to misquote the industrialist Henry Ford, every material tells a story. To be more specific, every material tells a human story. Demolition Ball, for example, is an enlarged punching ball covered in panels of tan leather that differ subtly in both tone and texture. Bircken stripped the leather from old gymnastic apparatus on which over decades during school sports classes... Read the full essay here.

Dutch artist Folkert De Jong has drawn on the collections held by the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds as a starting point for his new site-specific commission, in particular, the personal armour of Henry VIII and contemporary modern firearms. For the first time De Jong has used 3D scanning technologies in his practice, used to create bronze casts of Henry VIII's suits of armour, contemporary weapons such as machine and hand guns. The striking installation also features an armada of bronze ships displayed in florescent display cases, as well as casts of a gramophone, an old fashioned camera and telephone.
Essay: Folkert de Jong: The Holy Land by Dr Sam Lackey, Curator, The Hepworth Wakefield.
There is young slim Henry with the downturned expression of a kindly saint. There is fashionable Henry, resplendent with scalloped shells of bronze armour appended to his knees, his feet covered with a fine layer of sand. And there is old Henry, whose precarious balance tips him forward, as if he has been freeze-framed a moment before falling... Read the full essay here.
Supported by The Mondriaan Fund, James Cohan Gallery & The Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands
British artist Toby Ziegler draws on historic and contemporary representations of war for his new commission, from the WW1 plaster memorial frieze, No Man's Land, 1919-20 by renowned war memorial artist and Yorkshireman, Charles Sargeant Jagger (1885-1934) to the shocking present-day imagery of 'war porn' - trophy images posted online of war casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan. For the first time in 20 years, Jagger's WW1 frieze from Wakefield's collection will be back on display, supported within a network of aluminium joists. Ziegler's three-part sculptural composition also features a three-metre high sculpture of a human foot and a 3D printer that will produce a Newell teapot (a test-card design) within the gallery space each day.

First-Trimester Antidepressant Use Not Associated with Cardiac Defects — Physician's First Watch
First-Trimester Antidepressant Use Not Associated with Cardiac Defects
By Deborah Cowley, MD
Edited by Susan Sadoughi, MD, and Lorenzo Di Francesco, MD, FACP, FHM
No increased risk was found between first-trimester use of antidepressants and cardiac abnormalities in an analysis published in the New England Journal of Medicine.
Researchers analyzed Medicaid data on roughly 950,000 females (aged 12–55) and their liveborn infants. During the first trimester, 6.8% used an antidepressant, more than two thirds of whom used selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors. Cardiac malformations were diagnosed in 90 per 10,000 antidepressant-exposed infants versus 72 per 10,000 unexposed infants.
Fully adjusted analyses restricted the cohort to women with depression and controlled for confounding factors, such as sociodemographics and multiple gestation. No association was found between overall antidepressant use and cardiac malformations. In addition, there was no association between paroxetine and right ventricular outflow tract obstruction or between sertraline and ventricular septal defects.
This very large study, which adjusted for important confounders, is reassuring in suggesting a lack of association between first-trimester antidepressant exposure and risk for cardiac defects.

VICTIMS will be interviewed as part of a review into the way the Catholic Church in Scotland handles abuse allegations.
Former prison chief Dr Andrew McLellan CBE, who is heading up the commission, today vowed a "firm commitment to discovering the truth".
Announcing details of the commission's remit, Dr McLellan said commissioners will listen to the experience of survivors of harm and abuse within the Church.
The McLellan Commission aims to identify what aspects of safeguarding within the church have "helped or hindered" issues being raised.
Dr McLellan said: "With the commissioners now in place we can begin to undertake the challenging task that will be the work of the Commission.
"Of paramount concern for the commissioners is the contribution we can make to bringing about the best protection of many vulnerable children and adults.
"As well as setting up this commission, the Catholic Church in Scotland has also given a robust commitment to acting upon all of its findings and recommendations.
"This means that we have before us a significant opportunity to bring about material change."
Last year, it was announced that The McLellan Commission was to undertake "a critical review of safeguarding policy, procedure and practice within the Catholic Church in Scotland."
Today's remit also confirms that the commission will make recommendations for improvement.
Dr McLellan, who is a former Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, added: "Today I emphasise my firm commitment to discovering the truth."
The commission will not "investigate or adjudicate on current or historical allegations".
Dr McLennan also revealed the names of the 11 commissioners that will assist him in the task.
Among them are Assistant Chief Constable Malcolm Graham, Bishop John Arnold, from the Diocese of Westminster, and Ranald Mair, chief executive of Scottish Care and Roisin McGoldrick, from Glasgow School of Social Work. The final report is due to be delivered next summer.

American Revolution Veteran
Biography of Francis Price
Early Life
Francis Price was born 13 Sep 1741 in Sussex County, New Jersey the son of Samuel Price and Sarah Perrin. Francis Price is listed on a petition, 11 May 1757, to the Governor, etc., from inhabitants of Sussex County, "the most exposed to the enemy of any county. They cannot work on their land or conduct business needed to maintain..." In 1773, Francis Price is listed on Newtown Township Tax list reflecting he owned 48.87 acres in 1770 from the Proprietors of the Eastern Division of New Jersey and owned 9 horses and/or cattle[3]. In 1774 he was taxed in Newton, Sussex County for the same acreage and 11 cattle[4]. His wife, Esther died 12 July 1774, aged 30 yrs. She is buried in Frankford Plains Cemetery. At the time of her death, Ester and Francis had seven children.
American Revolution Service
Francis served in the American Revolution as a Captain[18][19]. In October 1778 it is noted in his account ledger: "To My expenses when Riding to Bye forreg for the continental teems at Robert Adams £10 10s 0d". On 31 Dec 1778: "Received of Capt'n Francis Price vouchers for forage and cash and his time assisting me in byeing forage the amount of all the cash he has received of me and for five bushels of salt which he bought of me and one cask by me. [signed] Peter Hopkins, Francis Price"[1]. On 10 Jun 1780, another petition was signed to the Legislative Council from the inhabitants of Newton TWP, Sussex, New Jersey: "Freeholders & other Inhabitants of Newton TWP, Sussex County, who haven't been paid for supplies/services given to the state in support of the Continental army"[16] See Petition to Legislature, New Jersey There are about 85 names of men who signed the petition. He is listed in the Daughters of American Revolution as Patriot A092945 see website: DAR Patriot Index Database.
Judge of Sussex County
After the war, Francis Price, filled many prominent positions and was a man of much influence in his day[1]. He was appointed Judge of the County on 20 Nov 1789[11] and appointed again on 26 Nov 1794[1][11]. In 1790 he acquired 33.93 acres of land from the Proprietors of the Eastern Division of New Jersey and in 1795 he acquired 19.87 acres[7]. He was for years a Justice of the Peace, and solemnized many marriages of that early period. A list of the marriages he performed can be found here: Marriages of Squire Francis Priceon in Snell's book, p393[1]. He maintained business relations, more or less extended, with most of the residents of the county, and established a reputation for integrity and kindness to those less abundantly supplied with worldly goods[1]. There appears in his ledger an account against William Booth, made in 1791 under which the following remark is written: "William Booth shall not be sued for the above balance, nor any action brought against him for it, because he is a poor man"[1].
Family and Marriage
He married first) Esther Dunn, daughter of William and Esther Dunn who settled in Sussex County, New Jersey from Connecticut. She died 12 Jul 1774 and is buried in the Frankford Plains, NJ cemetery. Francis and Ester had seven known children. After she died, Francis married Anna [Unknown] sometime before 28 Apr 1778 when her name appears on a deed. Since Anna named slaves in her Will, she is perhaps the Anna Price who recorded the birth of a child to a slave owned by her, "Tamir, female child, b 31 May 1807, to negro woman, slave, owned by Anna Price." Anna signed her mark. See Website of: J Kelsey Jones.
Francis Price died on 8 April 1804. His will is dated 3 June 1802. It was proved on 28 April 1804. See full text of will: Will of Francis Price [8][9]. He also requested in his will, that John Lesh should have his family Bible and the purchase of 7 Bibles to be given to the following: Francis Gustin, son of John Gustin Esq. and daughter Ester, Francis Hamilton, son of my daughter Sarah, Francis Stull (Stoll), son of my daughter Elizabeth, Francis Goble, son of my daughter Azubah, and Francis Price, son of Zachariah Price Esq (Editor Note:Francis Price, his son had died, believed to be son of his brother). Also Bibles to Francis Southwort, son of William Southwort, and Francis Acker, son of Albert Acker, all of Sussex County, New Jersey.
In the Estate of Francis Price, a division of land is given for four heirs, Sarah Hamilton, Azubah Goble, Elizabeth Bowman and Ester Gustins sons[11][22]. The Will gave 3/16 of the real estate to Elizabeth Bowman, 1/32 to Francis Stoll, 1/32 to John and Abraham Stoll, which included the "farm where John Boss now lives" assigned to them in the division, and residuary interests in the land given to the widow, John Lesh, and Jerusha DeWitt as life estates[8][22]. In a deed (L:280) with the same date as the division (23 June 1804), James and Sarah Hamilton, Gershom and Elizabeth Bowman, and Nathan and Azuba Goble sold their residuary interests to Francis Gustin, Thomas Gustin Jr., and John Gustin Jr. This gave the Gustin's 15/16 of their residuary interest, which was later conveyed to their father John Gustin (O:303, R:753). In 1811 John Gustin bought the remaining residuary interests: 1/32 from Francis Stoll on 4 Jan 1811 (V:572), 1/64 from Abraham Stoll on 15 June 1811 (W:696), and 1/64 from John A. Stoll of Tioga County, New York on 26 Oct 1811, X:409)[4] and also see website: Tri-Counties Genealogy & History by Joyce M. Tice. On 18 Mar 1813, Gershom and Elizabeth Bowman sold 98.25 acres on which they were living, and which was Elizabeth's part of the division tract to Abraham Dunning (L2:227). This was in eastern Frankford township near the Wantage township line. Elizabeth d. 5 July 1838 (Andrew and Ann Case Bowman bible) and Gershom d. 17 Oct 1839 (Andrew and Ann Case Bowman bible). A transcript of the Andrew and Ann Case Bowman Bible can be seen here: Tri-Counties Genealogy & History by Joyce M. Tice.
Anna's Will was dated 26 July 1821, Frankford Township, Sussex County, NJ. It was proved 20 Apr 1822:

Beijing RV, Camping Show Set For March 21-24
February 8, 2013 by RVBusiness · Leave a Comment
The 6th Beijing International RV and Camping Exhibition will be held from March 21-24 in Fangshan, representing the largest RV show in China.
The event, held in the Beijing RV Expo Center, is hosted by the Beijing Tourism Development Commission, People's Government of Fangshan and the Beijing China RV & Camping Association. A trade day will be held on March 21 followed by three public days.
Organizers report that exhibits will include a range of motorized and towable RVs along with RV parts and accessories, outdoor/camping products and representatives from campgrounds and parks.
The Beijing International RV and Camping Exhibition launched in 2010. Last year's show ran from Aug. 8-12, concurrent with the China RV and Camping Rally, and featured more than 100 exhibitors and 400 RVs on site while attendance totaled around 30,000.
200 RVs Sold at 2nd Chinese RV/Camping Expo
March 31, 2011 by RVBusiness · 1 Comment
China's emerging camping and RV industry was on full display March 25-27 during the second Beijing International RV and Camping Exhibition. More than 80 motorhomes and travel trailers — plus exhibits featuring parts and accessories, outdoor equipment, ATVs and even motorboats — covered nearly 20,000 square meters at the Beijing RV Camping Park portion of the Expansive Beijing Expo Center, Fangshan District, Beijing (Peking).
Sponsored and organized by the China RV and Camping Association, the show is considered China's foremost professional RV and Camping exposition and, according to an association spokesperson, is the first-ever show in China that focused on both RVs and camping goods.
That combination proved an effective enticement for the country's growing outdoor recreation crowd. According to Wang Xudong, exhibition committee officer, nearly 10,000 visitors attended the three-day event and more than 200 vehicles were sold.
"Most of the visitors were familiar with RVs," added Wangping, general manager of an RV sales company who attending this show, "so the (combination) show attracted a lot more interest. We saw a lot of sales."
In addition to exhibits by China's RV manufacturing sector, displays also included American brands such as Fleetwood, Winnebago, Jayco, Lance, Monaco and Krystal.
During the show, the China RV and Camping Industry Development Forum also was scheduled to invite government officers, manufacturers, dealers, suppliers, investors, RV owners and representatives to discuss the current and future of Chinese RV and camping industry.
Chinese Holding 2nd RV & Camping Exhibition

The second Beijing International RV and Camping Exhibition, China's foremost professional RV and camping goods show, will be held at Beijing RV Exposition Center, Fangshan District, Beijing (Peking) from March 25 to 27.
Sponsored by China RV and Camping Association, the Beijing International RV and Camping Exhibition features all kinds of RVs — Class A, B and C motorhomes, travel trailers and folding camping trailers — parts and accessories, tents, outdoor tables, chairs, portable refrigerator and other kinds of outdoor goods, according to a news release.
Compared with the first show, this show will have larger show area — the camping park will be the main exhibition area. According to spokesman Wang Jidong, there will be more than 100 exhibitors.
To attend this show, go to www.rvchina.cn to register to get free digital tickets.
Wang said that now people in China want to have a change in their leisure time. They want more freedom, more comfort and they long for being together with their families. So, RVing and camping are two kinds of new tourism industries which can satisfy people's new desire. Already, more than 3,000 people have registered with their mobilephones.
Wang added that this show is the first ever show in China that focused on RVs and camping goods. In the past, RV manufacturers and sale factories had to show products in other shows.
During the show, the China RV and Camping Industry Development Forum will invite government officers, manufacturers, dealers, suppliers, investors, RV owners and representatives to discuss the current and future of Chinese RV and camping industry.
A U.S. delegation spoke at this event last year.

Fine Hair & Textured LookQ: I have fine hair and I am wondering if there is a product I can put in my hair to get the textured look. Everything I've tried is either too greasy or doesn't separate the strands like I would like.
A: Perhaps the problem is the techniques you are using to style the hair. If you use a spray gel or mousse, you can blow dry the hair then use a light misting of hairspray and your fingers or a wide tooth comb to get a very textured look.
Of course, this all depends on the length of your hair and the particular way in which the hair is cut. You haven't given enough information for me to know exactly what you want. And many of the techniques and tricks used to create a textured look are suited to a certain range of hair lengths only. If the hair is longer or shorter then the tips for creating a textured look often need to be changed.
If what you want is simply "fuller looking" hair, then you can try a texturing gel or spray, and dry the hair fully to add a "coating" on each hair strand and give the hair a defined, textured look.

Corero Network Security (CNS: LN), a leading global provider of Network Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) and Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) Defense Systems, today announced its IPS is now protecting The Pep Boys – Manny, Moe & Jack – (NYSE: "PBY") the nation's leading automotive aftermarket service and retail chain. For Pep Boys, their customers and employees are paramount, and safeguarding their information is of the utmost importance. To help protect its nationwide network of more than 700 stores and its corporate headquarters against malicious attacks, Pep Boys called on Corero. In addition to information collected from retail transactions, as a customer-centric company, Pep Boys is entrusted with a large amount of customer information through its online "Glovebox" feature, which enables customers to record and conveniently access information about their vehicles and service history. Corero's Next Generation IPS proactively protects Pep Boys' networks against attack. Corero's IPS also facilitates Pep Boys compliance with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard ( PCI DSS), which requires protection of cardholder data, as well as compliance with Sarbanes-Oxley (SOX) information security mandates. The IPS also protects against data breaches that would require damaging public disclosure through the more than 40 state data breach notification laws. "Servicing our customers and safeguarding their information are our number one priorities," said Pete Bottcher, Pep Boys Information Security Officer. "Corero's IPS is a key technology we use to protect our customer and employee records. "PCI is our main compliance challenge. We process millions of credit card transactions annually from our different stores, and they all traverse out network, so meeting PCI DSS requirements is always a top consideration. Corero's log-based reporting features enabled through its Network Security Analyzer (NSA) tool is particularly useful during PCI DSS audits."

If you have an emergency does the insurance cover up front or do they just reimburse you. I am very concerned about this issue.
I might be wrong but I believe it depends on the kind of policy you have and what the emrgency circumstances are. If I remember there was a 24 hour emergeny hotline that was provided with my policy for my last cruise - used Travel Insured(was recommended on this site)
Many insurers offer "secondary" policies that pay after all other policies are exhausted and also generally pay later. You want to be sure that the insurer that you go with is a "primary" insurer and has the ability to help you when you need help. Travel Insured's 24 hour emergency hotline is a great example of what you are looking for.
What about a pet's medical condition or death? Are there any that cover that?
Hmm, good question Lady Vidora, but to my knowledge they do not cover death or illness of a pet as reason for cancellation or interruption of your trip.
Concerning Travel Insurance - We had a policy for our last cruise on RCCL. We purchased the policy thru the travel agent. My wife got sick on the cruise and we had a bill for $1500. The cruise line billed us and we had to go to the travel insurance folks to get our money back. We did have a "small" battle between the travel insurance folks and my regular insurance folks. My regular insurance folks fought the battles for me and the travel insurance folks paid up. Even though we has a small hassle getting out money back, I highly recommend travel insurance.
The "battle" may have been because the travel insurance policy was a secondary policy, as Tom described above. "Primary" policies, which pay first, are more expensive, and many people opt for the less expensive "secondary" ones, but then they do run into the back-and-forth stuff between their other insurers and the travel insurance company.
In any case, you're right, travel insurance is well worth it! I do not travel without it.
The last two cruises we were on, we had folks air lifted to a hospital, and my wife was almost the third - that made a believer out of me.
It's really accepting an unreasonable risk to travel witout travel insurance. You are out of your normal routine so the chances of something bad happening is increased. The cost is so low compared to the risk involved. I encourage ANY traveler to "not leave home without it".

If anyone missed the tremendous interview Patty Templeton did of me in the previous post, it is now also up on her library's web site here.
So, I'm back to Pittsburgh now after a little over a week in the Midwest — in my hometown, in fact — where it was a great privilege to be given charge of the Story Hour at the Taylorville Public Library on a Saturday morning. Many, many thanks to the librarians there for their kindness and generosity in allowing me to do that on a very short notice!
Initially, I wondered what I might be getting myself into. I was told that the usual audience at Story Hour was children ages 3-7. Gulp! The typical Cricket age begins at 9, so I knew the listeners would be way too young for any story I'd written.
Friends are among our greatest blessings in life, and I thought immediately of my friend Maggie Murphy, who specializes in writing for that very young age group. I dove for my keyboard and typed "HELP!" Now, you know Maggie: she's a regular contributor to this blog, albeit under a different name. Anyway, Maggie graciously came to my aid, sent me a whole palette of her stories and permission to choose among them for ones I might read aloud, and gave me some invaluable pointers on how to interact with such a young audience. Everything she sent me would have worked beautifully, but I chose her stories "The Halloween Costume Countdown" (Ladybug, October 2009, delightfully illustrated by Leslie Tryon) and "The Fairy King's Puzzle" (Spider, June 2007, illustrated by Yoshiko Z. Jaeggi). Both of these tales are a joy to read aloud, requiring different voices and with just the right crowd-pleasing payoffs — and better yet, the latter encourages the listeners to solve a fairy puzzle. Both were quite well received!
I remembered one more gift that helped: for my birthday in 1992, a friend in Japan gave me an extraordinary picture book called Frederick, by Leo Lionni. (It's a Caldecott Honor Book, an ALA Notable Children's Book, and a New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year.) I started off the program by reading it, and the kids were rapt as they studied the pictures. Even the moms leaned forward a little, holding their breath! I've always been partial to the book because the main character, a mouse, has my name — even if it's misspelled — AND he's a writer . . . or a storyteller, anyway. While all the other mice are busy stockpiling food for the winter, Frederick sits and absorbs the sunlight, the colors, and the words of the world. The others think he's lazy . . . but when bleak winter comes, and the food runs low, and spirits ebb as the mice are huddled in their cold, dark burrow, then Frederick's preparations sustain and cheer them. Through his stories, he gives them the warm sunlight, the colors, and the words.
Next, I used several large prints of Emily Fiegenschuh's illustrations to introduce The Star Shard. I didn't try to read any of it, but I let the kids know what Cymbril and her friends were like, and how it was to live on the Thunder Rake. The Urrmsh are always a hit.
Between Maggie's two stories, we did something I called a "Stretch of the Imagination." Because the youngest kids were getting a little restless, I had them all stand up from the cushions they were sitting on. I urged them to close their eyes — or not, depending on which way they could imagine better — and then, in our minds, we all became really, really tall — so tall that our heads shot up through the crowns of the trees, out into the brilliant sunlight where the butterflies bounced over the leaves. We all physically stretched as we did this, reaching, rreeaacchhinnggg toward the sky . . . we looked down on the tiny houses, kept stretching up . . . and we grew up through the clouds, into a world of whiteness, fluffy clouds like snowdrifts . . . and in the distance, a huge, gray castle . . . probably the Giant's castle from "Jack and the Beanstalk." So as not to bother the Giant, we quickly shrank down, down, scrunching ourselves up as small as we could manage, tucking in our arms and legs, getting smaller and smaller . . .
So small, in fact, that we tumbled through a crack in the floor and ended up in a rooty, earthy place under the ground, where a lantern cast yellow light over the bare dirt. In one corner, a little man in a green coat sat making a shoe, hammering the sole onto it with his hammer, tap, tap, tap. The man, with his red hair and beard, looked up at us and winked.
And we got bigger again, bursting up through the ground, and suddenly we could run faster than any creature in the world. We all ran in place, but in our minds, we outran gazelles and cheetahs. We leaped over rivers, over the green hills, over mountains . . . (Remember illustrations of the Seven League Boots?)
And finally, we were ourselves again, flopping back onto the cushions, and we heard another story.
For the last part of the hour, we moved over to the tables and divided into two groups. I got a volunteer mom to join each table to help keep everyone focused. Then I brought out some wondrous Objects that would help us tell our own story.
We revisited Emily's illustration of Cymbril and the two cats at the rail of the Rake, and now I asked the children to imagine that it was a different girl. What should we call her? One girl (the first whose hand went up) suggested (after a lot of thought) "Rapunzel."
Okay. Rapunzel had three cats. You can only see two in the picture, and here's why:
The cats' names were Faith, Hope, and Charity. Charity was the bravest. One day, a wicked witch passed along the road in front of the cottage. She was dressed in black rags that flapped in the breeze around her like black flames, and her nose and chin jutted out so far that they nearly met. (The kids went, "Eewww!") The witch kicked at Charity, and Charity hissed at her. The witch glared angrily and cast a spell on Charity, turning her into a black stone. (At this point, I pulled out a curious, large, smooth black stone that my actual dad actually found once; he always thought it was shaped like a human heart.)
The witch said, "Now you'll be another part of the path in front of my house," and she flung the stone into her cart, which was full of other stones, all of different shapes, colors, and sizes. So the wicked witch hobbled on down the road, pulling her cart full of stones, and poor Charity was a smooth, black stone atop the pile.
Faith and Hope wrung their paws, and Rapunzel wrung her hands, and they all consulted together on how they might rescue Charity.
Enter now the two groups of kids: the first table was given a detailed figurine of Gandalf (though 3-7-year-olds don't recognize Gandalf when they see him, so he was an old man leaning on a staff) and a brass hunting-horn. The second table was given a wind chime made of seashells and a troll doll made of moss. Table 1 had to figure out what Rapunzel and the cats did next to help their friend; Table 2 had to finish the story. Both tables had to use their two Objects as a part of the story. We brought out crayons and paper; if the youngest kids didn't want to think up story ideas, they could illustrate what was going on.
After we worked for a while, we heard the tables' reports. It seems that Rapunzel and her cats, hurrying along the road after the witch, met a wise old wizard who, from his belt, pulled a golden horn. When he blew it, it gave them magical courage and speed. The second table wasn't quite sure how the wind chime and troll fit in, though they drew some excellent pictures of both. Inspired by the first group's idea, a girl thought that when you heard the chime clinking in the wind, it would make you brave, too. One little boy suggested that Rapunzel hit the black stone, it broke apart, and Charity emerged unharmed and safe again!
Something I noticed is that, in a way, it's easier to do a program for very small children, because you simply can't get into theory. At that age, most haven't learned to write on paper yet. So it becomes all about Story, and we're all born with an instinct and a longing for that.
God bless the storytellers of every age, and those who love them!

Are you sure about that Ken? When I posted this pic, I mislabeled the Acid Crack as the CMC route, but I do not think that yellow line is anything, and the left red line is indeed Acid Crack....
Hmmm. BTW, Acid Crack is more like 5.5, and one of the best of its grade, IMO, and CMC route being the easy 5th class areas to the right and around the corner?

Agree w/ Wiled. Yhe bolted routes are to the right of the big arch dihedral, and CMC route is super far right where it is really low angle. Acid Crack goes up near the red line that says 'CMC Route'. I can't remember if there is a bolted route just to the right of acid crack (ie left of the arch/dihedral)
Great chunk of rock, been a while since I have been up there.

|Yeah, the CMC route is just a bit south (right) of these routes, starts a little lower on the rock. The South Ramp route that I posted ascends the right hand skyline to those giant boulders/overhang.

USEF's Response to the New York Times Article "Sudden Death of Show Pony Clouds Image of Elite Pursuit"
In early November, the USEF received inquiries from the New York Times regarding the use of Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) to calm horses and ponies for competitive advantage.
Since then, the USEF has endeavored to provide the New York Times with all the facts on GABA and to outline the aggressive actions the Federation has undertaken to deal with this emerging issue and the threat it poses to the health and welfare of our equine partners.
You can read the USEF's full response to the New York Times here.
In 2013, the USEF will continue to address this issue through enhanced monitoring, testing, reporting and education. In the meantime, I invite and welcome your input and suggestions on how we can most effectively discourage and prevent the use of calming agents in our sport.
John Long, CEO
United States Equestrian Federation
- If you have input or suggestions, or questions about the prevention and use of claming agents, please send them to email@example.com -

Hi everyone
By now everyone has gone back to their clubs. Our golf skills started back the end of September. Our golf coach Michael Forde had been to the World Summer Games in Athens so he told us all about it, they all had a great time and came home with lots of medals.
Our riding club, Duhallow Riders started back two weeks ago so we are all getting used to it again. Norma has two new ponies this year and I think they will be very good for our lessons. One of our riders Pamela Collins was at the World Summer Games and got 3 medals. We are all very proud of her.
Our ALPs group is back in action too - we had a great meeting last Saturday 15th October, one of the items we covered was a mock presidential election. We usually hold our meetings in Charleville but our next meeting will be in Mallow and we will go for lunch afterwards.
My big news is that I am doing the Contemporary Living Course in Mary Immaculate College in Limerick. It is on 2 days a week and I really enjoy it. There are 15 in my class, we do a lot of group work. Our subjects for this term are Social Studies and Career Development.
Before I finish I must wish Mary Davis the very best of luck. I am sure all the athletes will be out to vote for her.
I will be in touch again soon

Raleigh, NC, United States, 2009/04/17 - New Cutting-Edge Patrol Pack to feature CORDURA® Fabric.
Granite Gear, Inc., a leader in the outdoor industry, announced it was awarded a five-year contract by U.S. Special Operations Forces to develop and manufacture up to 45,000 Chief Patrol backpacks for the next generation of soldiers. The Chief Patrol backpack will feature high performance CORDURA® fabrics to help provide U.S. Special Operations Forces with the exceptional durability they deserve.
We are honored that the U.S. Special Operations Forces has entrusted Granite Gear, Inc. in collaboration with MMI to design, develop, and produce the next generation of patrol packs for the modern war fighter, said Granite Gear, Inc. CEO and Designer Jeff Knight. After more than two years in the making, the Chief Patrol backpack combines our extensive knowledge of the commercial and outdoor market along with cutting-edge military requirements to create a pioneering design in backpacks.
The Chief Patrol backpack is a collaborative effort that has united Granite Gear, Inc., Montgomery Marketing, Inc., and INVISTAs CORDURA® brand. The contract was granted through Naticks Special Operations Office after an extensive source selection process and rigorous testing of packs from six other companies. The backpack meets the U.S. Special Operations Forces requirements to provide a load carriage system that delivers top-performance with the following functional capabilities:
Access Panel Two vertical zippers open the front of the pack and allow for rapid load / unload of inner contents. A radio pocket and antenna ports are also accessible through the top.
NIR Solution-Dyed Fabric Both the base fabric (500d, 330d and 100d) and webbing (1000d) consist of solution-dyed nylon (SDN) CORDURA® fabrics that provide soldiers maximum Near Infra-red (NIR) signature reduction concealment properties.
CHIEF Frame Sheet A 3-D molded frame sheet fits the contours of a soldiers back, and exceptional comfort is achieved with pivoting anchor points for shoulder straps and belts that also help maximize body movement. In addition, the harness is customizable to fit over body armor.
Hydration Hydration pockets on both sides allow easy access to hydration bladders. Bottom routing of the tubes permits more efficient flow, and bite valves attached on the shoulder straps allow soldiers hands-free operation.
Being included in such a special design by a leader in the outdoor industry such as Granite Gear, Inc. is very rewarding, says Allen Mortimer, North American End-Use Marketing Manager for INVISTAs CORDURA® brand. We are honored to contribute our branded fabric to advancing todays warfighters load carriage system.
A division of Granite Gear, Inc., Granite Tactical Gear outfits military, law enforcement and other security forces with proven designs and advanced fabrication.

You don't shift floats. You only shift integers. For floats, multiplying by an integer power of 2 should be fast because of the floating point representation (the exponent just gets incremented or decremented), so just do the multiplication. > So, what is the simplest way to do it, without cycles of course?

Sheriff Bobby McCallum announced recently the addition of Molly, the newest member of the K-9 Unit at the Levy County Sheriff's Office. The addition of Molly to the unit was made possible through a generous donation of $5,500 made by Barbara Snow on behalf of the U.S. War Dogs Association, Southern Chapter 2. Snow, executive director of the Southern Chapter, is not only a concerned citizen of Levy County, but also an active participant in the Levy County Sheriff's Office program. She believes the K-9 Unit is an essential component to the safety and wellbeing of the community. She presented the donation to Sheriff McCallum July 28. The sheriff accepted the donation and expressed his sincere appreciation on behalf of the agency and the citizens of Levy County.

The Levy County Sheriff's Office Criminal Investigations Division (CID) has made two arrests in connection with the home invasion homicide that occurred in the early morning hours of Friday, Aug. 4, in Williston.
Homicide victim James Patterson and shooting victim Ramon Patterson were confronted by armed suspects who opened fire inside the home that night.
On Tuesday, CID investigators executed two simultaneous search warrants in the Lincoln Heights subdivision off of County Road 318 in east Williston. As a result of these search warrants, multiple people were interviewed and two juveniles have been arrested.
Jalen Keyshawn Days, 18, and Andrew Lee Robinson, 17, were taken into custody and have been charged with first degree murder, home invasion robbery with a firearm, and aggravated battery with a firearm.
Both have been booked into the Levy County Detention Facility and will be transferred to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Gainesville later today.
The Levy County Sheriff's received a report of sexual abuse to a minor July 8, 2003. The then 9-year-old victim told Investigators that over a period of several weeks a person who she trusted the most did sexual things to her that were hard for her to talk about because they were "gross."
The body of a missing woman from Manatee County was found buried in southwest Chiefland Monday.
Tricia Freeman, 47, was reported missing last Tuesday in Palmetto, approximately 40 miles south of Tampa.
Chiefland City commissioners generally expressed satisfaction with the direction the police department is going under the guidance of chief Scott Anderson.
Chiefland Police Chief Scott Anderson said drug arrests are up in the city because of the two K-9 Units operating in the police department. The two teams train weekly in warehouses owned by Central Florida Electric Co.
Chiefland Police Officer Willie Barnes joined the Chiefland Police Department about two months ago after a career in law enforcement with the Florida Department of Corrections and the Levy County Sheriff's Office.
EDITOR'S NOTE: This story was updated Feb. 2.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office reports the following arrests:
• Dec. 31, Alan William Brewster, 55, Inglis, possession of a controlled substance w/o a prescription. Bond $10,000.
• Dec. 31, Brian Scott Clapper, 39, Port St. Lucie, possession not more than 20 grams. ROR.
• Dec. 30, Gary Mason Clark, 37, Chiefland, failure to register motor vehicle, DWLS, possession of marijuana over 20 grams, drug paraphernalia. Bond $19,000.
The Levy County Sheriff's Office deputies have arrested a couple of possible Christmas Grinches on charges similar to those Dr. Seuss' famous character would have faced if he had not repented stealing a town's gifts.

Framed Wolftrax SRAM X5 1x10 Fat Bike -- 2016Whenever a category of bikes gains popularity it's fun to watch new brands and products spring up. That is the case for fat bikes and if the Framed Wolftrax Fat Bike is any indication of where the future of fat bikes are going, we'll gladly come along for the ride.
Fat bikes for everyone, proclaims Framed. Founded in 2010 in St. Paul Minnesota, Framed is on a mission to make fat bikes more affordable for everyone, with one catch: the bikes have to perform at a high level as well. In a global market place where the cost of manufacturing a product is lowered by producing a larger volume of it, that's tough to achieve with a style of bike that's relatively new to cycling. How do they do it? Who cares, honestly. They did it. Now, you can ride a bike like the Wolftrax and not daydream over it because of its prohibitive cost.
The Wolftrax starts with Framed's proprietary and unique frame designs. They feature more room to move and offer a centered rider position for greater performance and comfort. The SRAM X5 1x10 edition is equipped with Avid BB5 Disc Brakes and 160mm rotors which deliver superior braking performance on singletrack. Additionally, the Wolftrax has lightweight 80mm Alloy rims with snazzy rectangle cutouts. The rims are outfitted with massive Wolftrax 4" wide 26" tires. This tread design provides astonishing grip in nearly all riding conditions.
- Framed Exclusive TIG Welded Oversized 6061 Aluminum Alloy frame with tapered head tube and over-sized alloy fork
- SRAM 1x10 X5 drivetrain with a single ring Truvativ 32-tooth crank and 175mm arms

As some of you are aware, tomorrow I will be streaming my sister's play-through of The Walking Dead: the Game, and right now I'm predicting what choices she will make.
NOTE-that means this blog is nothing but spoilers for the entire series, as it will be updated for Episode 5. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
Episode 1: A New Day
Lie to Herschel? I think my sister is going to be relatively honest
Duck or Shawn? My sister is a teenage girl. She'll choose Shawn over Duck any day of the week.
Is Duck Bitten? My sister is a pretty logical person, she'll probably fight for Duck without question because she doesn't want anyone to die unless they HAVE to. Also, she'll probably think Larry is a Dick by now. I know I did.
Give her the Gun? There's a part where you can give a girl who has been bitten a gun in order to commit suicide, and I don't think My sister will do it. I honestly think that she will shy away from giving her the gun in order to protect herself, no matter what may happen.
Carly or Doug? This one might be the toughest, but I think she'll choose Carly mainly because she's proven herself, whereas Doug really hasn't at this point in the game.
Episode 2: Starved for Help
Chop David's leg off? My sister will try everything possible to avoid chopping off his leg, no matter what. I doubt she'll want any blood on her hands.
Shoot Jolene? My sister will shy away from killing the woman no matter what, I can guarantee that.
Kill Larry? I'm pretty sure she'll actually kill Larry, because she's about preservation and under pressure, she may want to do anything, but that doesn't mean she'll be happy about it.
Kill the Saint John brothers? I think my Sister will at least get very angry and violent with them, but she won't kill them. I wouldn't be surprised if she killed at least one of them, though.
Take from the Car? If it means the betterment of the group and herself, she'll probably loot the car and force Clem to wear that ugly sweatshirt.
Episode 3: Long Road Ahead
Shoot the woman? This one is tough, and in fact the first choice in the game where I personally differed from my friend. But in all honesty, my sister will probably leave the girl to die at the hands of Zombies because of Kenny's reasoning. I did.
Leave Lilly Behind? There's no question in my mind that Nikki (my sister) will leave lily to die, especially after what Lilly did.
Fight Kenny? I accidentally walked into this one, and I'm pretty sure my sister will as well, she may even experience Duck-geddon!
Who kills Duck? I honestly think that Nikki will force Kenny to shoot his own son. She'll be crying, too. She doesn't want to be more emotionally invested in this, and will shy away from it.
Christa or Omid? Omid without a doubt. She'll believe Christa can make it on her own, but Omid is the one in need of more help.
Episode 4: Around Every Corner
Who kills the Child Walker? I think my sister may actually feel guilty about having Kenny kill Duck, or not think that he can do it himself, and she will kill the child walker to spare him the pain.
Does Clem come with? My sister's pretty soft, so I'm going with yes. She won't want to feel guilty about Clem should anything happen.
Kill Ben? She'll keep him alive. I killed the bastard. DON'T YOU DARE MESS WITH CLEM.
Hide The Bite? My sister will hide the bite. I can't find a good reason, but I'm certain she will.

National Undergrad Bioethics Conference - Duke
National Undergraduate Bioethics Conference: "Bioethics: More Personal or More Global?"
|Fuqua School of Business, Duke
|Contact Name
|Trent Center for Bioethics
|Add event to calendar
The National Undergraduate Bioethics Conference (NUBC) is sponsored annually by the American Society for Bioethics and Humanities, and draws students from around the country in an engaging discourse on the ethical, social and legal implications of development in science, technology and medicine.
This year's conference takes the theme "Bioethics: More Personal or More Global?" We hope the conference will encourage discussion about current controversies in bioethics, especially in the context of its evolution from a discipline concerned mainly with clinical medicine and biomedical technology to a broad field of inquiry in which global health and population-level bioethical issues are prevalent.

Clear Lines
Medium long, straight hair is the base for this festive look. It features clear lines with the distinct side partition and smooth surface. The hair is combed to the back where it is overlapped by the longer top and back hair which is tugged under and fastened right at the nape shaping a mini-roll.
Flexible hold and anti frizz products are essential to keep this look together and as neatly styled as in the picture. The crowning glory comes in with a simple hairband in white.

Yes, ISA can be installed on Win2k Advanced Server.
Your client computers connecting using dialup modem has to dial in to your
network first. Once they are in your network, as soon as dial up connection
is established, you get an IP which can be your LAN IP. Just define the
proxy setting normally and itz dunn.
I hope itz clear, feel free to ask any questions, there are many folks who
can answer to you.
Good Luck,

Waiting for the postman
Samuel Beckett's work was centrally concerned with a paradox: the impossibility of finding any meaning in the universe, but the simultaneous need to say something. He was not an optimist about human communication skills. He wanted his art, he told the editor of Transition, to deal in "the expression that there is nothing to express, nothing with which to express, nothing from which to express, no power to express, no desire to express, together with the obligation to express". Despite these ideological obstacles, he was a prodigious writer of letters and postcards.
He corresponded on a massive scale over several decades. He wrote in minute detail to theatre producers and directors, to actors, editors, publishers, literary acolytes and well-wishers all over the world. Part of his 30-year correspondence with the American theatre director Alan Schneider, published in 1999 as No Author Better Served, alone ran to 500 letters. Every day he fired off thousands of small cards, arranging meetings, passing on news, congratulations and anathemas. As his fame grew, after he won the Nobel Prize in 1969, people wrote on any pretext in order to secure a valuable thank-you note in his instantly recognisable angular handwriting.
Yesterday, a collection of his correspondence went under the hammer at Sotheby's auction house in London. They were expected to fetch between £150,000 and £200,000. Instead they went for a cool £243,200. Lot 95 – as the glowing collection of envelopes and cards, with their postmarks from Paris, Dublin, London. Berlin, Stuttgart and Ussy-sur-Marne, was reductively termed – were the missives he sent over a 40-year period to his friends Henri and Josette Hayden, both painters. Beckett scribbled in French about everyday matters, his health, his family and his work.
Beckett's lifelong friendship with the Haydens dates back to a significant time in his life. He and his wife, Suzanne Deschevaux-Dumesnil, were on the run from the Nazis in the south of France in 1943. They met the Haydens in the village of Roussillon d'Apt and hit it off. It was during this anxious period, as he and Suzanne travelled the dangerous French roadways, trying to keep a conversation going and their spirits up, that Beckett had conceived a play about two tramps travelling in a desolate landscape, exchanging badinage and waiting for something to happen to give their lives meaning¿
