Mark Long has been around the video game business for nearly two decades. So, when the gaming vet first set eyes on a YouTube preview of Hawken more than a year ago, he knew almost immediately that the multiplayer online shooter game was destined to be a massive hit.
Now, it's Long's job to make it so.
As CEO of Hawken publisher Meteor Entertainment, Long has big things in store for the Seattle game publisher, including a worldwide release slated for 12/12/12.
"You see 10 seconds of video on YouTube, and you'll get why Hawken is going to be a hit," says Long. "You just look at it, and say: 'I've never seen anything like this.' It is visually disruptive."
To make sure the Hawken launch takes off as planned, Long and his 75-person team have pulled in $18 million in fresh funding from the likes of Rustic Canyon Partners, Benchmark Capital and FirstMark Capital. The latter two investors are noteworthy because they were backers of League of Legends publisher Riot, which sold to China's Tencent for more than $400 million last year.
Long, who previously founded Seattle-based Zombie Studios, thinks Hawken has what it takes to fill the shoes of League of Legends, perhaps even overtaking the online gaming franchise.
That's a bold claim.
After all, League of Legends is the most widely played online game in the world. At last count, it had 70 million players worldwide, and three million concurrent players on any given day. Roughly a third of game players fork over cash for enhanced capabilities, spending on average about $25 per month
But Long believes Hawken can be bigger — and much more profitable. He anticipates more than $100 million in revenue, and between five and 10 million game players next year.
"That's the plan," says Long when asked whether he thinks Hakwen can be bigger than League of Legends. He called the free-to-play business model "extremely disruptive," and one that is now "just crashing onto our shores."
"I think it is going to completely change everything" in the game industry," said Long. "The rise of the model on smartphones and tablets shows that the market is getting even bigger."
Like League of Legends, Hawken is an online shooter game that's free to play, with game players forking over cash for add-ons such as one-time explosives and character customizations.
"You can play the entire game for free and unlock every single thing in the game," said Long. "But, if you are like me, and you don't have a lot of time and want to play over the weekend and have a good time, you might spend some money … on a robot so that you don't have to grind away for a month to unlock that."
Since Meteor is bypassing the traditional game publishing model, it plans a worldwide launch on December 12th in which the game is released in 20 languages and supports over 150 currency types.
"It is a really rare opportunity to reach completely upstream to the consumer — to go direct to consumer," said Long, adding that they plan to release the title in China in the second quarter of next year.
One of the reasons that Long believes Meteor can become more profitable than Riot is its reliance on the cloud — namely through Amazon Web Services.
"We can dynamically provision servers as we need them, and even as the sun goes around the Earth, we can shut down the servers we don't need," he said. "That gives us fantastic efficiency … and really infinite scalability that really wasn't possible even a few years ago."
Meteor has about 500,000 people in a closed beta for Hawken, but it's not stopping there. It has another game title under development, with a third expected to go into production some time next year. The 75-person team is split between Seattle and Pasadena, where president and lead developer Khang Le is based.
Asked about the biggest challenge facing Meteor, Long said that it is going global right off the bat.
"Companies that make and sell products to the entire world all at once are like Hewlett-Packard and Microsoft," he said. "We're just this little 75-person company trying to figure out the tax laws and the cultural interests long distance, and we are just going to do it as we go."
He added that there's a challenge of trying to service two million users on the first day and trying to talk to them in their language.
Here's the YouTube video that initially grabbed Long's attention:

Frenchtennis(3.5/4.) has not received any gifts yet
Hi - Thanks for your message - I just recently got a puppy, so I haven't had quite as much time to get out on the courts! I'm only good for during the day Mon, Wed, Thurs, or Fridays at Scarborough U of T (UTSC) or Tam Heather for indoors if it's rainy or too windy.
If that's not too much of a trek for you, I'd be glad to hit. Thanks!
Hi Frenchtennis,
So far this spring I've joined 4 clubs in the east end (Scarborough) if you're up for some travel... or if you've got somewhere in mind in Etobicoke, I grew up there so know it well and glad to visit!

Stony Brook, N.Y.—Top-seeded Albany used a 9-1 run in the second and third quarters to defeat UMBC, 19-10, in the America East Conference men's lacrosse championship game.
UMBC, which entered the game 4-1 in its last five contests, finished the season at 7-8.
Senior attackmen Joe Lustgarten (Wading River, N.Y./Shoreham-Wading River) and Scott Jones (Port Coquitlam, B.C./Terry Fox) and junior face-off specialist Phil Poe (Harwood, Md./DeMatha) were selected to the All-Tournament Team.
Jones led the Retrievers with four goals vs. Albany and amassed seven goals in the two games.
There were four ties and lead changes in the first half until Albany closed the stanza on a 5-0 run. UMBC trailed, 3-2, after one quarter and 4-2 just 34 seconds into the second, but went on a 3-0 run to take a 5-4 lead with 9:18 to play in the frame.
Freshman midfielder Nate Lewnes (Arnold, Md./St. Mary's) started the surge with an extra-man goal at the 12:41 mark, and Jones tied the score, converting a feed from senior middie Nick Doub (Annapolis, Md./St. Mary's) at the 10:04 mark. Senior attackman Matt Gregoire (Crofton, Md./South River) got inside and beat UA keeper Blaze Riordan from a tough angle to put UMBC back out in front at 5-4 with 9:18 to play in the half.
After a time out, Albany tied the game 42 seconds later, starting the 5-0 surge. Albany outshot UMBC, 31-15 in the first 30 minutes, and despite nine saves by DiRito, the Danes led by four at the break.
UMBC came out quickly in the third quarter, winning the opening face-off after a loose ball battled and cashed in when freshman Pat Young (Ewing, N.J./Christchurch School) scored with just 39 seconds elapsed. But the Danes went on a 4-0 run before Retriever senior midfielder Dave Brown (Coopersburg, Pa./The Hill School) stopped the surge and cut the deficit to 13-7 with 4:25 remaining.
But the Retrievers could get no close in the final 19 minutes of the game and fell to 3-2 in America East title games.
In his final game along with 13 other seniors, Brown scored a goal and added two assists. Lewnes scored twice, while Doub added a pair of helpers.
Tournament Most Valuable Player, Albany sophomore attackman Lyle Thompson, led all scorers with three goals and six assists.
Albany outshot UMBC, 49-36, and DiRito finished the game with 10 saves. Albany freshman netminder Blaze Riordan made nine saves for his side.
The Danes converted on 4-of-6 extra-man opportunities, while UMBC was 1-of-2.
"I would like to thank our seniors for the great job they have done over the past four years, especially this year," head coach Don Zimmerman said. "The guys are disappointed, but they should hold their heads up high. It's a great group of guys, they work hard and they represent the school in a tremendous fashion."

Born in Venice, Italy, Roberto Poli has been portrayed on many occasions as a Renaissance man, enjoying not only an international career as a performer, but also being very much involved in writing, poetry and painting.
After Roberto Polis American debut was saluted by the press as pure magic, similar assessments have been expressed around the world in cities such as New York, Dublin, Rome, Boston, Brussels, Calgary, Seoul, and wherever he travels. Acclaimed as a soloist on both piano and harpsichord, and as a chamber musician and conductor, Roberto Poli has appeared with the Monet Ensemble, the Trio di Venezia, the Chameleon Arts Ensemble of Boston, soprano Elizabeth Keusch, clarinetist Jonathan Cohler and cellist Sarah Carter. In recent years, he has appeared in extensive and critically acclaimed tours of South Korea and the United States with world-renowned cellist Daniel Lee.
It was not until the age of twelve that Roberto Poli started taking piano lessons, when he convinced his parents to rent an upright piano. He was privileged to study for over ten years with Giorgio Vianello, graduating from the Venice Conservatory Summa Cum Laude and Honors in 1993. He furthered his studies under Philippe Cassard, Piero Rattalino and Eugenio Bagnoli. From 1995 to 1997, he studied with Boris Petrushansky at the Piano Academy Incontri col Maestro in Imola.
In mid 1996, Roberto Poli was called to serve his country and was stationed at a Bosnian refugee camp at the outskirts of Italys border with Croatia, shortly after the Bosnian war came to an end. It was a year of hardship in which his performing activity came to a nearly complete halt. This hiatus from the concert platform was nevertheless a crucial period of growth in which writing and poetry became an alternative vehicle of expression. It is during this time that his first writings on music and a series of poems depicting the life of the Bosnian refugees and the experiences lived during those months took shape.
A few months later, Roberto Poli was in North America invited by the Gina Bachauer Foundation to participate in their International Piano Competition. Shortly after the conclusion of the competition, Roberto Poli moved to Boston to follow the great artistry of Russell Sherman, Artist in Residence at the New England Conservatory, and made the United States his home. Under Shermans tutelage, he received a Masters Degree with artistic distinction and academic honors, and the prestigious Artist Diploma.
Roberto Poli is an enthusiastically sought-after teacher and lecturer. He holds positions at the Rivers School Conservatory in Weston, Massachusetts, where he is the Artist in Residence, and at the New England Conservatorys Preparatory School, teaching a select group of talented pupils.
Roberto Poli is also an active recording artist. His debut album Shall we dance was released on the Americus Records label in 2002 and was enthusiastically received by publications such as Fanfare and American Record Guide. Other commercial releases followed, including recordings of contemporary music on Capstone Records.
Considered by many a rising authority on the music of Chopin, which he has comprehensively studied through manuscripts and original editions and widely performed throughout the world, Roberto Poli is currently pursuing a project encompassing the composers complete works. Intended to celebrate Chopins 200th birthday in 2010, this project includes recordings as well as a book, The Secret Life of Musical Notation: defying interpretive traditions, which presents new insights into Chopins music. This first volume on pianistic interpretation provides a new vision of Chopins works that is both scholarly and practical.
Roberto Poli lives in Boston where he continues his work as a musician, writer and painter, in addition to the restoration of his 1850s Victorian house on historic Chester Square.

HowTo: Wake Up Computers Using Linux Command [ Wake-on-LAN ( WOL ) ]last updated in Categories Debian Linux, Linux, Networking, Ubuntu Linux
Wake-on-LAN (WOL) is an Ethernet networking standard that allows a server to be turned on by a network message. You need to send 'magic packets' to wake-on-lan enabled ethernet adapters and motherboards, in order to switch on the called systems. Make sure you connect the NIC (eth0 or eth1) with the motherboard, and enable the WOL function in the BIOS. This is a quick guide to enable WOL under RHEL / Fedora / CentOS / Debian / Ubuntu Linux.

We gather in the small apartment kitchen, myself, Carlos, our friend Mando and his very pregnant wife, Naji. They have invited us over for dinner again and this time they welcome us behind the curtain that separates the kitchen from the living room, to watch them prepare the meal together.
They work in perfect rhythm, this young couple from Veracruz, never fighting for space at the stove. She drops a handful of chiles into a sizzling pot of oil and while she's turned to the counter to chop tomato, Mando reaches over to add seasoning to the diced lengua and stir it with a wooden spoon.
"Cocina usted, Don?" Mando asks Carlos, using the nickname his Mexican co-workers had given him his first day on the job.
Carlos laughs, "Honestamente, ella cocina casi todo," he responds.
"Tiene que aprender, Don, para que usted le ayude a ella," Mando says, surprising me with his lack of machismo. He tells us how he diced the lengua the night before, that it took him two hours, and I can see why. The meat is in perfect, uniform cubes, each one smaller than a sweet pea.
I ask Naji if she'd mind me writing down the recipe for the salsa she's making. This, I realize, is the bright orange salsa I love – the one Carlos often brings home from work in a twisted plastic bag, a gift from Mando's lunchbox. Naji smiles and tells me to go ahead. I pull out a little notebook and pen from my bag, I start scribbling down the ingredients and the generous extra tips she gives me.
Soon the kitchen fills with all the delicious scents of tacos de lengua. The meat is seasoned and cooked, the salsa prepared, the cabbage finely chopped with a large, sharp knife. Naji warms corn tortillas and cuts limes into wedges while Mando pours glasses of agua de uva. Now it is time to sit together at the table and eat this meal made with love.
Mexican Salsa Roja
• 2 handfuls of chiles guajillos secos – stems removed (about 8 chiles guajillos)
• 2 large tomatoes chopped (or 1 can diced tomates, 14.5 oz, no salt added, undrained)
• 1/2 a medium onion
• 1 tsp. minced fresh garlic
• 3 tbs. canola oil
• 2 cups water
• 1 1/4 tsp. salt
Optional: 1 can chiles in adobo, 7 oz. (Adding this will make it much spicier so beware! I do not use the chiles in adobo in mine, but our Mexican friends do.)
Note: You can use chiles japones secos instead of chiles guajillos for spicier salsa
1. In a medium-sized pot over medium heat, add oil, dried chiles, onion and garlic. Chiles should have stems removed. When you remove stems, seeds will fall out. Include the seeds in the pot.
2. Stir continuously taking care not to let it burn. After a minute or two, add tomato. Stir over medium heat another 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
3. In a blender combine 2 cups water, salt and contents of pot.
4. Blend 1 minute until mostly smooth. (If you prefer a thinner salsa, add more salted water and blend.)
5. This step is optional: To make the salsa spicier and add a lot of flavor, add 1 can chiles in adobo. Blend for another 30 seconds.
6. Return contents to pot. Stir salsa over medium heat for 2 minutes.
7. Allow to cool.
8. Keep refrigerated in jar or container for 1 week. (You could also can or freeze it.) Use on tacos or anything you like.

got a strange problem with my ubuntustudio 12.10 quantal release.
I was thinking about to disable some icons from the menu which can be opened from the very left top side of the desktop and started to edit these icons with the GUI given by xfce (dont blame me about the name, i dont remember it).
After disabling some icons the complete panel was gone and shows me an error (see later). The menupanel is still active but im not longer able to open it from the left top side. I got an error message that my desktop is unable to load the menu.
Here is what ~.xsession-errors say:
** (xfdesktop:2889): WARNING **: Unable to load menu: Fehler in Zeile 1, Zeichen 1: Dokument ist leer oder enthält nur Leerraum
Sorry for the german logs, ill try to translate it:
** (xfdesktop:2889): WARNING **: Unable to load menu: Error in Line 1, Sign 1: Document seems to be empty or it only contains empty space
renaming the ~.config/xfce4 doesnt help
Any ideas?
Meanwhile i checked my Laptop for what i did before on my desktop. It was the original XFCE4 menueditor which can be reached through the menu->properties->menueditor (in german its named Einstellungseditor)
Here you can enable or disable menuentrys the graphical way, which i did. As i saved the settings (exit from editing) the menu was gone with the error message i described i my first post.
Hopefully someone has i light for me.

I am trying to fill in my family tree. I'm looking for the grandchildren, great grandchildren of Andrew, Robert, Michael, Grace or Rose Fletcher. I've been told by family members that Robert married Manusiu and they lived in Tonga and when the children started school they moved to NZ. The family moved over in the early 1900's due to Robert passing away.
Any information is appreciated. I have found some information relating to Rose Fletcher but have unfortunately come to a halt in my research.

Spain 1-0 Italy: La Roja beat Azzurri in close encounterThursday, March 06, 2014 by Goal.com
Spain held onto a one goal lead to edge past Cesare Prandelli's men in Madrid in the repeat of the Euro 2012 final
Pedro scored the only goal as World Cup holders Spain laid down a marker ahead of their trophy defence with a 1-0 victory over Italy.
The Barcelona man was at the heart of the majority of Spain's best attacks at the Vicente Calderon, and he was rewarded for a fine performance when he swept home the winner from close-range in the second-half.
Italy played their part in an entertaining encounter, but Vicente del Bosque's men were good value for a win that is sure to provide a timely confidence boost as they continue their preparations towards the start of the global showpiece in Brazil.
Spain enjoyed the majority of possession in the first-half, though Italy went closest to breaking the deadlock when Alessio Cerci's cross-cum-shot deceived Iker Casillas and hit the post.
David Silva was introduced after the break for the hosts and he was instrumental in several Spain attacks, but it was Pedro who settled the match with his close-range effort on 64 minutes.
Del Bosque handed a long-awaited debut to Diego Costa after the Atletico Madrid man declared his allegiance to the Spanish from the country of his birth, Brazil.
Meanwhile, Cesare Prandelli handed an international debut to Parma centre-back Gabriel Paletta.
In an end-to-end opening, Italy went closest to breaking the deadlock in fortuitous circumstances on four minutes when Cerci's mis-hit cross from the right-hand side of the box looped over Casillas and rebounded off the far post.
Spain responded in kind when Pedro's low drive from 25 yards was well parried by Gianluigi Buffon.
Pedro was involved again in the 20th minute, the Barcelona forward cutting in from the left before sliding in Costa, whose first-time shot was well blocked by Paletta.
Italian opportunities were proving few and far between, but Pablo Daniel Osvaldo should have done better on the half-hour mark when he collected Claudio Marchisio's neat flick before advancing towards goal and curling a left-footed shot wide.
Spain introduced Xabi Alonso and Silva for the second-half, and the duo linked up for the first opportunity after the break on 50 minutes, the former finding the latter on the edge of the box as he in turn slipped the ball to Thiago Alcantara, but the Bayern Munich midfielder was thwarted by Buffon.
Manchester City winger Silva was proving a constant menace to the Italy defence and his through ball found Pedro soon afterwards. His cut-back in turn found Costa, but he could only shoot wide from eight yards.
Spain's relentless second-half pressure finally told just after the hour mark when Silva's attempted one-two with Andres Iniesta fell kindly for Pedro, who squeezed his shot under Buffon, although the Italian may feel he could have done better in keeping the shot out.
With 10 minutes remaining Costa turned in the penalty area, only to see his shot sail wide.
Pedro then departed to a warm reception, with his replacement Santi Cazorla driving a shot narrowly over the crossbar in the closing stages.

Berry Syrups
Along with rainbows, berries are one of the great pleasures of summer, with a short but intense season, but luckily, one fruit tends to come in after another. One of the easiest and most satisfying ways to take advantage of the bounty is to make syrups. Berry syrups are simply berry juice combined with sugar, and all kinds of berries can be used, like blueberries, cherries (okay, cherries are not berries but they still make great syrup), grapes, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries. Syrups are made using a formula of 1 cup of juice to 1 1/4 cup sugar. The differences between the berry varieties occur when you are cooking them down: some berries are very juicy, like grapes, others are pulpier, like blueberries. Still others, like wild berries, may take a bit longer to release their juice and so you need to add a bit more water to the pot to avoid scorching in the early stages of heating.

I love all nut butters, but I'll always be hopelessly devoted to my beloved peanut butter. Spicy peanut sauce is my weakness, so any day that this scrumptious, spicy, peanutty Pad Thai is on the table is a day to celebrate. Contributed by Dianne Wenz, from VeggieGirl.
Serves: 4
- 8 ounce package rice noodles
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons tamari sauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 cup lime juice
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 1 teaspoon chili garlic sauce or other hot sauce, or to taste
- 2 teaspoons peanut oil, divided
- 1 teaspoon tamari sauce or Braggs Liquid Aminos
- 14-ounce tub extra-firm tofu, drained, blotted and cubed
- 2 cups shiitake mushrooms, sliced
- 1 bunch broccoli, chopped into bite-sized pieces
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into thin strips
- 1 cup snow peas, ends trimmed
- Several dried Thai chili peppers, optional*
- 3 to 4 cups baby bok choy, chopped
- 1 cup mung bean sprouts
- 3 scallions, sliced
- 1/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped
Cook noodles according to package. Set aside.
Mix all of the sauce ingredients together in blender or food processor. Set aside.
Add one teaspoon of the oil to large pan along with the tamari and swirl it around. Add the tofu and cook on medium-high heat until it's browned on most sides, stirring frequently. Remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
Add the remaining teaspoon of oil to the pan along with the mushrooms, broccoli, bell pepper, snow peas and optional Thai peppers. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, until all the vegetables are tender.
Add the bok choy and cooked tofu to the pan along with the peanut sauce. Stir together and let cook for 2 or 3 minutes, to let the flavors mix.
Add the mung bean sprouts and give it a quick stir.
Serve the vegetable mix over the rice noodles and garnish with the chopped peanuts and scallions.
*Thai peppers add a nice flavor to the dish, so I add them in when I'm cooking but I remove them from my dish before I eat. I find them far too spicy for my taste, but VeggieGuy loves them.

Ge - SRPG400A225 - 225Amp Spectra™ RMS Motor Circuit Protector Rating Plug, SG400/225
All Spectra, Power Break, and Power Break II circuit breakers use UL listed interchangeable rating plugs to establish or change the long time trip point of the circuit breaker. The key advantage of the rating plug is the flexibility of interchangeable rating plugs across the permissible current ratings of a given circuit breaker frame. Since the installed rating plug establishes the ampere rating of the breaker, the installer must verify the adequacy of the connected cable and/or bus bar ampacity. The National Electric Code allows cable size to be matched to the ampere rating established by the rating plug. Spectra RMS Molded Case Circuit Breakers (SE150, SF250, SG600 and SK1200) have a digital, solid state, RMS sensing trip system with field installable, front-mounted rating plugs to establish or change the breaker ampere rating. Adjustable instantaneous with tracking short-time is standard on all frames. The trip unit uses digital sampling to determine the RMS value of sinusoidal and non-sinusoidal currents. Features and Benefits • Solid State Trip System - Accurate Sensing - Ambient Insensitive - Protective Relays available - Communication & Power Management capable • Interrupt ratings up to 100kAIC @ 480Vac • Reduced Energy Let-Through available for enhanced protection • ZSI (ST/GF/INST) available for selectivity • Interchangeable Rating Plugs for quick LT rating change • Common internal accessories across all frames • UL listed field installable accessories • HACR rated • 100% continuous rating available

PERFECT JOB .I WORK FOR GM,THIS IS CORRECTOriginally Posted by FordXplod93I fished around online for awhile and here's what I came up with. All of it is legit except for where you have to fax this guy your number. I would instead take that number to a Chevy dealer. Hope it helps.
In order to properly restore your radio to operation you must first obtain the scrambled back-up code from the radio.
1. Turn ignition on and radio power on.
2. Press and hold presets 2 and 3 for about 6 seconds until the first 3 digits of the display code are displayed. Write the numbers down.
3. Press the AM/FM button, and the second 3 digits of the scrambled code are displayed. Write these numbers down. If the numbers do not change when pressing the AM/FM buttons, then your second three numbers are the same as the first three.
4. Fax me (FAX 1-888-995-9496) your name, your 6 digit code and your naisso member number. I will also need your daytime phone number to call you back to confirm. I will call GM and retreive an unlocking code, which only takes a few minutes. The reason I limit this to members is that I know most of you by name and this will limit the chances of anyone with a stolen radio from contacting me.
Once you receive your four digit unlock code from me do the following:
1. Ignition on, Radio OFF.
2. Press the HR button until the "LOC" disappears and "000" appears on the display.
Note: if the display does not change from "LOC" to "000" the unit is probably in the "InOP" stage and must be left alone for one hour with ignition power applied. Every three unsuccessful entries will put the unit into "InOP".
3. Set the first two digits (01-19) of the code with the HR (hours) button. (you will not see the zero if the first digit is a zero as in "02" for example)
4. Set the next two digits (00-99) of the code with the MIN (minute) button.
5. Press the AM/FM button to enter the code. The radio will now be unlocked and the display will change to the clock. Continue with the following steps to deactivate the theft deterrent.
6. Press the HR button until the display changes to "000".
7. Repeat steps 3-5 above to remove the previous code and deactivate the theft deterrent system. You may set a new personal security code as per your owners manual instructions.

Following a survey of ownership carried out in the late 1960s, ownership of the totality of the walls was vested in 1973 in the Spanish State, through the Ministry of Education and Science. It was transferred to the Xunta de Galicia by Royal Decree in 1994.
The Spanish Constitution reserves certain rights in relation to the heritage to the central government. However, these are delegated to the competent agencies in the Autonomous Communities, in this case the Xunta de Galicia. For the Lugo walls the Xunta is in the position of both owner and competent agency. Under the Galician Heritage Law the Xunta is required to cooperate with the municipal authorities in ensuring the protection and conservation of listed monuments, and certain functions are delegated down to them. The Xunta operates through its General Directorate of Cultural Heritage (Dirección General de Patrimonio Cultural), based in Santiago de Compostela.
The Master Plan for the Conservation and Restoration of the Roman Walls of Lugo (1992) covered proposals for actions to be taken in respect of research and techniques of restoration. This was followed in 1997 by the Special Plan for the Protection and Internal Reform of the Fortified Enceinte of the Town of Lugo, which is concerned principally with the urban environment of the historic town. However, it has a direct impact on the protection afforded to the walls, in terms of traffic planning, the creation of open spaces, and regulation of building heights. Another planning instrument which affects the walls is the Special Plan for the Protection of the Miño [river], approved by the municipality at the beginning of 1998.
There is at the present time no management plan sensu stricto for the walls in operation in Lugo: work is continuing on the basis of the 1992 plan. Nor is there a technical unit specifically responsible for the conservation and restoration of the walls. It is against this background that serious consideration is being given to the creation of an independent foundation, under royal patronage and with representatives from government, academic, voluntary, and business institutions, to work with the General Directorate of Cultural Heritage of Galicia. The work plan of this body would include the development and implementation of integrated conservation, restoration, and maintenance programmes.
The property "Parque Güell, Palacio Güell and Casa Mila in Barcelona", previously inscribed on the World Heritage List, is part of the "Works of Antoni Gaudí".

Who's Hot: Antoine Vermette has nine points in 11 games in Phoenix and is winning 58.4 per cent of his faceoffs.
Who's Not: Rangers rookie Carl Hagelin went into Game 7 Saturday with one assist in his 10 games, playing 17-1/2 minutes a night.
Griffin Reinhart moves up in the draft ratings
No defenceman has moved up more in the NHL draft ratings in the last while than Edmonton Oil Kings' Griffin Reinhart.
If he lasts past the top seven it would be a surprise. If the Oilers take Ryan Murray and not the explosive winger Nail Yakupov at No. 1, then the Columbus Blue Jackets and the New York Islanders, for sure, are looking at defencemen in the first five. The Montreal Canadiens, at No. 3, like Reinhart, too. There's a crowd of defencemen — Morgan Rielly, Matt Dumba, Finn Olli Maatta who plays junior for the London Knights, maybe even Swede Hampus Lindholm who plays for Rogle in their elite league — in the mix, too.
Reinhart's play for the Oil Kings — big minutes with the puck and defending against the other team's top guns, showing more aggression than he did in the regular season — has been an eye-opener.
If teams are projecting how Reinhart can be when he's 21, not 18, there's a lot to like.
"I don't like comparisons," said one-time Calgary GM Craig Button, who got his start as a talent evaluator and puts out his monthly Craig's List of top NHL draft prospects between his myriad TV duties on TSN, "but when I look back at Shea Weber (as a junior in Kelowna), Griffin is so much more advanced than Shea. Shea didn't play a lot his draft year. But when you'd watch Shea you'd say, 'Jeez, he really skates well.' Then, he'd shoot and you'd go, 'That's a pretty good shot.' Or, 'Wow, he just ran over a guy.' There were snippets with Shea. I was finishing up in Calgary and our scouts were trying to figure out Shea Weber. Trying to figure out how good he'd be. I mean, Nashville, drafted Kevin Klein ahead of Shea (second-round).
"But once Shea got the confidence to play, he took off."
You're seeing the little snippets in Reinhart, too, which eventually will be a package.
"I've known (former Calgary Flames defenceman) Paul Reinhart for a long time," said Button, "and Paul told me years ago that Griffin was the quiet one of his (hockey playing) kids. He's going to take some time to learn how to assert himself … he's not a fighter, but he will fight (his demeanour is a lot like his dad's, only he's taller).
"Paul said his boy Max (playing for the Kootenay Ice) was the bear and Sam (also playing in Cranbrook) is a really talented guy and Griffin was the player who thinks the game. One of the big things Paul used to tell Griffin was 'you can't be perfect.' He said he had the tendency to try to make the perfect play. There is no perfect play.''
The value of a big defenceman in today's game is obvious. Look at Ryan McDonagh and Marc Staal in New York. Look at John Carlson and Karl Alzner in Washington. Look at Drew Doughty in L.A., Keith Yandle and Oliver Ekman-Larsson in Phoenix, Alex Pietrangelo in St. Louis. New Jersey took Adam Larsson No. 4 last June. If you can find a defenceman who can play 25 minutes a night, you're set for a long time.
Reinhart could easily be one of those guys.
"I see Griffin as an all-around defenceman who'll kill penalties, who'll be on an NHL power play, maybe not the first unit, but the second," said Button.
"A big part of today's game is finding a defenceman who can go back and get the puck in a hurry, and turn and move the puck up the ice. If you can't turn, you are in trouble and in your zone all the time."
As Columbus Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson watches the New York Rangers' popgun attack, he knows he's holding all the cards as he tries to trade Rick Nash after the playoffs end.
The Rangers sorely need Nash to book-end Marian Gaborik and he'll continue to drive a hard bargain, although there are several pro scouts who wonder if Nash has it in him to be a 40-goal man every year and wonder if he's only a support player.
Various sources say Brandon Dubinsky, defenceman Jan Erixon, 2011 first-round draft forward J.T. Miller, currently playing for their American Hockey League Connecticut Whale farm club, and maybe centre Derek Stepan were on the table just before the February trade deadline. Howson wanted forward Chris Kreider and/or defenceman Michael Del Zotto in the deal.
Sources say Howson was lukewarm on Dubinsky, who hasn't played since Game 7 of Round 1 and was last seen with a walking boot on his right foot. The Rangers said no dice on Kreider and Del Zotto, their No. 4 D-man after Marc Staal, Ryan McDonagh and Dan Girardi.
Doan on good side of handshake line
The handshake line was an agonizing exercise for Phoenix captain Shane Doan until this spring. You can only paste a false smile on your face and say, "Good series, win the next round" so many times before you want to scream to the heavens about life being unfair.
"It's almost been a habit to say 'thanks and good luck.' It was nice to be on the other end," said Doan, who got a hug from Nashville coach Barry Trotz and a longer conversation than normal from an opponent. "Trotz and I have stayed friends since he coached me at the worlds. I admire him as a man, how he handles himself behind the bench and off the ice. He was telling me, 'Too bad we had to meet in this round and not the next one.' He said he'd be cheering for me. I've got friends on the Predators with Barry and Mike Fisher and Shea Weber, great players and great men."
Doan, unlike some NHLers, doesn't turn off his TV at playoff time.
"I've always enjoyed watching the playoffs, even if we weren't in it or knocked out, but you root more for players and friends on other teams and admire what they're going through more so than pulling for another team."
Tootoo train running up to Edmonton?
Jordin Tootoo is an unrestricted free-agent July 1? Do the Oilers need his energy? Yeah, they do. And Tootoo needs a change of scenery. He's been in Nashville too long. I know The Tootoo Train sometimes goes off the rails, but he's tempered his over-aggressiveness in the last year.
Tootoo, who went through the NHL's substance abuse program and isn't drinking any longer, doesn't seem to fit in Hockeytown any longer judging by only playing two playoff games, but I think he'd be a good fourth-line get-the-crowd-and-the-bench-going guy here.
When he's on his game, he can skate, shoot, disturb, fight, but it depends on the price point. He made $1.35 million this past season with the Predators.
Follow the leader
The NHL is a copycat league — whatever team wins the Cup, the others often try their blueprint — so with the Kings, Coyotes, Devils already in and Washington playing the Rangers in Game 7 Saturday night, does this mean every team is going to be blocking 40 shots a game, with everybody pulled back between the hash marks, with offence optional?
"I don't know if it's good for the game, but it's good for winning," said Coyotes coach Dave Tippett.
Of this group, New Jersey may go on the attack more than the others, if you can believe their trap-happy history.
"The teams that are left can all check," admitted Chicago Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville.
Does this mean that the Hawks and the Vancouver Canucks and the Oilers, say, are going to have to change the way they play, though? Maybe not.
"Look at Vancouver, they've won the last two President's trophies, weren't far away from winning last year, and they attack. We had five straight overtime games against Phoenix this year. I can't get in Edmonton's head, but I know they're on the right track. Nobody gave us more fits than the Oilers," Quenneville said.
This 'n' that
• Kings coach Darryl Sutter was asked if he'd have faith in backup Jonathan Bernier if Jonathan Quick ever went down. "Absolutely, and we've got two former Conn Smythe winners (goalie coach) Billy Ranford and (assistant GM) Ron Hextall behind him. We're fine," said Sutter.
• Saku Koivu's $3 million one-year re-up in Anaheim, which includes some games-played bonuses, might be a salary yardstick negotiation for Ryan Smyth here. Koivu is one year older at 37 and had 37 points to Smyth's 46 last season here.
• Stories out of Russia suggest Paul Maurice, the former Carolina Hurricanes coach, could be going to Magnitogorsk in Russia, where Dave King once coached. Maurice has been doing some TSN playoff commentary.
• Caps coach Dale Hunter has never been a haberdasher's best friend. In London, while coaching the junior Knights, he wore the same sports-jacket every game. In Washington, he's got a black suit, half a dozen white shirts and a red tie that he trots out behind the bench. When asked if he'd tell the players to pack for five days should they beat the Rangers in Game 7, then go to New Jersey to start the next round, he chuckled. "I only bring one suit on the road anyway, so I'm all packed up." Fashion aside, he's pushing all the right buttons as a Capitals coach. His brother Mark, the Knights GM, has his club going to the Memorial Cup in Dale's absence. Dale's son Dylan, a former Knights forward, is Mark's assistant coach.
• The Portland Winterhawks had to give up four prospects to the Everett Silvertips to get the rights to hotshot U.S.-born defenceman Seth Jones, but judging by Jones's prodigious talent level, four trade pieces could be chicken feed. Jones is represented by Sidney Crosby's agent Pat Brisson, who also looks after Cam Fowler. Same career path for the Anaheim Ducks D-man. U.S. development team and one year of major junior, then to the NHL.
• One of the new Blues' investors is former U.S. senator John Danforth, an Episcopalian priest who officiated at the funeral of Ronald Reagan and was named lead investigator for the FBI in the Waco, Texas, siege in 1993. He's the father-in-law of the main new Blues money man Tom Stillman.
• Karl Alzner on Hunter's conversational style. "He's probably spoken less words than me and he's been alive twice as long as me."
• Portland coach/GM Mike Johnston, who has worked on NHL staffs in Vancouver and Los Angeles as an associate coach, figures his acerbic forward Brad Ross has the right stuff to be in the big-time, eventually. He's got some of Brad Marchand in him; he'll do anything to win. "He's hugely competitive. He'll be the type of player that Burkie (Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brian Burke) likes. He'll be a good fit for that organization," said Johnston.
• Blues winger Chris Stewart, who gave Ken Hitchcock some grief this past season, says he's going to be working with fitness guru Matt Nichol this summer. Stewart must have looked in the mirror. People have been telling him for sometime he has to be in better shape, also his games can't be so up and down.
The Blues are looking for a top-two D-man to partner with Alex Pietrangelo, who played with a sprained knee against the Kings. They likely see Kevin Shattenkirk in a second pairing. Would they offer up wingers T.J. Oshie or David Perron to get a defenceman? Several scouts think they might.
The Blues have a group of unrestricted free agents, including Barret Jackman, Carlo Colaiacovo, Jason Arnott and Jamie Langenbrunner. I don't see Arnott back and Langenbrunner is iffy. Jackman has been a very good soldier in St. Louis, but there's a lot of miles on him, just like Scott Hannan, who began to bounce around (San Jose to Colorado to Washington to Calgary). Maybe they let Jackman walk and bring in Ian Cole, who is eight years younger, for the back end. Colaiacovo, not a shutdown guy or a high-end offensive D-man, was a scratch in the Kings series, which is usually telling.
Matty's Short Shifts
• I can see Philly GM Paul Holmgren trying to trade for Ryan Suter's UFA rights after the draft if the Preds can't sign him with Chris Pronger's concussion clouding his comeback and Kimmo Timonen 37, but one factor to consider as the Preds try to resign Suter: there's no state income tax in Tennessee so Suter can keep more of his salary there. Plus the grass isn't always greener someplace else. The Flyers went out in the second round, another suitor (Detroit) went out in round one. Nashville went out in Round 2. There are no guarantees anymore where you play that a Cup beckons. If the Preds gave goalie Pekka Rinne seven years, they'll give Suter, say, eight at eight ($8 mil is what Duncan Keith makes in Chicago). Sixty-four mil. Thank you very much.
• While some suggest that Alex Radulov's party-boy antics off the ice will be forgotten at contract time and they'll gladly let Andrei Kostitsyn walk as an unrestricted free-agent, one source says both guys have torched the bridge in Nashville. They figure Craig Smith can take AK47's spot. They'll trade Radulov's rights. One interesting sidelight: Kostitsyn's brother wasn't out on the town with his brother because Martin Erat, Sergei's linemate was keeping an eye on him.
• If the Oilers hadn't won the draft lottery, would we be having the Nail Yakupov vs. Ryan Murray discussion? No. They'd have taken Murray at No. 2 and been dancing. One longtime scout says Murray has been a can't miss since he was on Canada's under 18 world team, and younger than everybody else. "Even then he was better than Erik Gudbranson (Florida, No. 3 overall pick in 2010)," said the scout for an Eastern-based NHL club. Two things to consider if the Oilers don't take the smooth and smart Murray, who seems ready to be an NHLer this fall:(1) they've got Swede Oscar Klefbom, who's only a year away and feel Martin Marincin, the seventh D-man in Oklahoma City right now, and Martin Gernat, the Oil Kings' string bean defenceman, are NHLers in waiting with some offensive pop and (2) if they can sign expected UFA D-man Justin Schultz (U of Wisconsin but a kid who grew up in Kelowna) on July 1 most scouts think he can step in and play now. Of course, half the league would like to sign Schultz.
• The Blue Jackets, who will take Ryan Murray at No. 2 overall if the Oilers pass on him, are also getting the 27th through 30th pick in round one from the LA Kings now as part of the Jeff Carter trade if they want to exercise that choice this June rather than in June of 2013. At first blush, it seems obvious Columbus would rather use the first-rounder in 2013 (they have an option of either year) but what if they offered the pick back to the Kings this June to get goalie Jonathan Bernier? The Blue Jackets need a goalie, don't forget.
• Jersey will likely forfeit their first-rounder in June (in the bottom four) for their sleight-of-hand to trying to sign Ilya Kovalchuk before they had to rework his contract. Only thing that might give them pause to wait until next June: With captain Zach Parise possibly leaving as a UFA winger (Detroit will make the biggest push with scout Mark Howe his biggest booster), they could use a first-round pick to stock the cupboard this year.
• Jaromir Jagr had some quad muscle problems in the playoffs for Philly, which is maybe why he struggled to get the puck to the net after a remarkably good regular season (54 points) where he was a willing mentor to so many young players like Claude Giroux, but the jury's out on whether he'll be back. Holmgren says he'd like to resign the 40-year-old but is unlikely to give him the moon (obviously the Penguins and Wings were after him last year before he signed for $3.3 million). Jagr, in the final Flyers' player gathering, said he wanted to play more in the playoffs. "I don't want to come back just to sit there," he said. Sounds like Jags will be looking around this summer.
• The Flyers badly missed Pronger's listen-up-boys leadership against the Devils. He would have brought some gas to their tank, which seemed totally empty after their emotional win over the Penguins. The question now is whether the Hall of Famer-to-be will ever play again, at his age (38 in October).
• Larry Robinson's agent Don Cape didn't do the Hall of Famer any favours going on TV and saying his client would like to be a Habs' assistant coach next year. Not the greatest of timing, plugging your guy right now. Robinson has bigger fish to fry as the Devils' assistant to Peter DeBoer.
By the numbers:
50 Jersey forward Patrik Elias, who was first noticed at the Viking Cup in Camrose, in the early 90s, is 50th all-time in playoff points with 122
4 Caps coach Dale Hunter is fourth all-time in game-winning playoff OT goals.
55-55. Darryl Sutter's lifetime playoff coaching record
He Said It:
"I went to Best Buy, Home Depot and the grocery store and I was in each of them for probably half an hour to 45 minutes and I didn't get recognized once."
Defenceman Keith Yandle on the fact that not everybody is wrapped up in the Coyotes in the desert

Recently, I took a trip to Texas to get away and think, pray, and seek the Lord's will in several matters that were on my heart. I know myself well, but often times I try to hide the ugly, the selfish motives, and cover it up with excuses. My prayer for my few days away was that the Lord would give me clear direction about how I spend my time. ((being a wife, work, teaching sewing lessons on the side, discipling, serving in different capacities at The Well, living in community, this blog, my shop, etc.)) I felt overwhelmed, spread too thin, and unsure that what I was seeking and expending my energy on was even what God had for me. As I prayed and pondered and took some time to just sit and be with the Lord, I felt confident that anything that isn't missional and intentional needed to go. Things that had become burdens that I put on myself can't be a priority any longer.
When I read this verse, I felt sick at my stomach...not from guilt but of conviction. A conviction I couldn't shake.
For all that is in the world -- the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life -- is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever. ((1 john 2:16-17))
I've seen so much ugly in my heart when I try to become well known, gain more followers, yearn for sales, and find my worth in it when that happens. My worth and identity HAS to come from the Lord and not my selfish motives or desires or my shop or my follower count or my paypal account balance.
With all of this said, I will be closing the doors of my online shop. When I receive orders, they have become a burden. Trying to find time to sit at my sewing machine to sew dresses or
burn myself with use my glue gun for some rosettes is tough when my schedule is so hectic and constantly full. I find so much more joy in being generous with my designs, allowing you guys to follow along to a tutorial. Handmade Monday will be jam packed with some fun tutorials that I've tried to hold off on because I was considering selling those designs. Money had become a desire my heart was resting in, not a bonus from doing what I love.
As much as I've loved this journey of selling online, I just can't do it anymore. I love creating new products and dreaming up photo shoots & marketing plans...but I just can't do it all anymore. Even just 5 orders backed up takes an entire day to cut, sew, package, and ship...which is usually a day off from my real job that I LOVE. If anything, I will be trying to go the wholesale route every now & then when creativity sparks in hopes of building more relationships with business owners in Boulder and using up my INSANE fabric stash ;)
I will also hopefully be working towards making this whole India thing a reality...which is another post for another day. Long story short: a non-profit partnership will possibly be coming to fruition sooner than later where we will be employing & outsourcing my sewing to unemployed Indian widows in need of income. They will earn a fair wage and I will have more sanity & possibly not go blind from late nights sewing hundreds of coffee cuffs and bridesmaid dresses.
SO... in the next few days you will have a chance to purchase some of my inventory that I've had saved up for miscellaneous craft shows, gifts, etc. They are being sold at killer prices that kind of stings, but there is so much peace in getting it all out of my closet. Just like those furniture store commercials - everything must go, my friends!

Camra, I'm very pleased to say, has recently decided that it could be doing much more than Make May a Mild Month for promoting endangered beers, and has set up a Beer Styles Working Group to look at ways of plugging and encouraging endangered beer styles of all sorts.
I've managed to blag my way onto the working group, mostly because I'm keen to point out to Camra members, and beer festival organisers (and brewers) that endangered beer styles in Britain go a long way beyond mild, stout and porter, and to try to get the other half-dozen or more endangered British beer styles recognition and promotion as well: and maybe even get some of the extinct beers remade. (That's the advantage of beer: it may turn out to be impossible to resurrect the mammoth, but reproducing a vanished beer style generally only requires the will, a recipe and the right ingredients.)

UV Light Helps Sort Crabmeat From Cartilage
Now there's no excuse for finding cartilage in your warm peekytoe crab cake with shaved cauliflower at Le Bernardin.
