Simpler Days by Geckofly It took me all day to just let the fact
that Discord got turned to stone sink in. So I drew some young
Trollshipping to make me stop crying over the lost of a great
villain...that is unless they'll bring him back as a villain in
future episode and I'm still holding onto that hope even though
its super unlikely, about as unlikely as Hasbro making a Discord

more than a reunion to bring the past alive Last month, the
New Yorker magazine had a little write-up of an upcoming
Swervedriver show in its "Night Life" listings. As a
Swervedriver fan, I paid special attention to the brief mention,
especially its last sentence: "Swervedriver lasted from 1989 to
1999, but it has since re-formed for a second stab at stardom."
The word choice of that last phrase bugged me. Swervedriver's
following is small but devoted, and their importance in the
general scheme of popular music is fairly minute—their first
stab at stardom was marked with record label setbacks and the
eclipsing glare of grunge. But it seems dubious that the
motivating factor for the band's reunion is fame; though
currently touring internationally, Swervedriver have no new
album to support, and the band members, fairly unassuming guys
at the starting end of middle age, are not the type to seek the
spotlight. By the time the New Yorker's Swerve |

2D platformer achieve all it was capable of in the 16-bit era or
did developers just run out of ideas? Of course, we have the
answer to that question now. The answer is Klonoa. It was a
near-perfect platformer that merged polygonal environments
within the perspective of a 2D sidescroller (“2.5D,” some
endearingly called it). More importantly, it delivered on the
growing demand for nuanced storytelling and variety that the
PlayStation crowd demanded. In more ways than one, it made
players look at the genre in a new light. The original Klonoa

dark skies our ancestors saw the middle "star" of Orion's sword
as a tiny smudge of light. The Englishman William Derham, who
wrote on cosmology in the early 18th century, believed the glow
in Orion was a opening in the celestial sphere through which we
observe the radiance of God. We now know that there is no such
thing as a starry sphere enclosing Earth like an eggshell, nor
an Empyrean beyond where reside God and the souls of the saintly
departed. We live instead in a universe of possibly endless
dimension, filled everywhere with stars, nebulae, and galaxies.
The smudge of light we see in Orion's sword is revealed by
modern astrophotography to be a vast region of glowing dust and
gas -- a nursery of stars -- not a peephole through which we
glimpse the divinity. Or isn't it? I defy anyone to look at
the Hubble Space Telescope's image of the Orion nebula or
astrophotographer David Malin's view of the same object and not

Even the following Fortran standard, Fortran 77, had only "fixed

Potential profit is the difference between the current price per

brachycephalic dogs tend to have trouble with the way their eyes
seat in their heads. First, recognize the prominence of the
eyes on these dogs. The boney eye sockets are very shallow. This
means that any blow to the back of the head, even a fairly minor
one, can cause an eye to pop from its socket and require
surgical replacement. This can happen also with too much pulling
against the leash if the pet is wearing a collar. You may wish
to consider a harness for your pet. Sometimes, the eyes are so
prominent that the lids cannot close all the way over the eyes.
This will lead to irritation and drying of the center of the eye
unless surgical correction is performed. If you cannot tell by
watching your pet blink, watch as your pet sleeps. Dogs who
sleep without closing their eyes all the way could do with
surgical correction. Eyelid problems are common in these breeds.
Look for persistent wetness around the eyes. In some dogs, the

stormwater runoff as nitrogen sources to Sarasota Bay, Florida,
we examined dissolved inorganic nitrogen (DIN) concentrations
and d15N compositions of rainwater and stormwater runoff.
Rainwater collected in Sarasota, Florida, had ammonium
concentrations of 2.1- 29.0 µmol L-1 in the summers of 1999 and
2000. Corresponding rainwater nitrate concentrations were
3.7-56.0 µmol L-1. Rainwater ammonium δ15N values were -11.6‰ to
-0.3‰, and nitrate δ15N values were -5.1 to +3.8 over the 2-yr
period. Decreases on the order of 50% in ammonium concentration
and δ15N enrichments as great as 124‰ relative to rainwater
ammonium were typically observed in the evolution of rainwater

Korea's impeached president, Roh Moo-hyun, appeared to have been
vindicated in his conciliatory policies on North Korea and trade
unions last night as the public voted in the country's most
left-leaning parliament for more than 40 years. Riding a wave
of public sympathy for Mr Roh after he was unceremoniously
suspended from office last month, the Uri party - which backs
him but does not claim him as a member - secured a slim majority
in the 299-seat chamber. The result could increase concerns in
Washington about the rise of anti-US sentiment in a country
which was formerly a staunch cold war ally. The liberal Uri
party, which had only 49 seats in the outgoing assembly, seized
152 seats, while its main rival, the conservative Grand National
party (GNP) took only 121, according to the official tally. The
Uri party's leader, Chung Dong-young, hailed the outcome as a
vote of support for Mr Roh, who had been turfed out for alleged

Presidential Candidate[1]Ross Perot has apparently changed his

the former third-party candidate for president released a
statement today backing Romney[3]. Perot had quite a bit to say
on why he decided to endorse Romney: Given his family’s
continued support of Republican candidates since his runs for
president in 1992 and 1996, it’s not too surprising that Perot
threw his support to Romney, even if it took him a while to make
up his mind on it. — Benjamin Nanamaker, InvestorPolitics

-2.864676 | 5.805537 | 81 | Over the years, technicians have found two problems with the
simple moving average. The first problem lies in the time frame
of the moving average (MA). Most technical analysts believe that
price action, the opening or closing stock price, is not enough
on which to depend for properly predicting buy or sell signals
of the MA's crossover action. To solve this problem, analysts
now assign more weight to the most recent price data by using
the exponentially smoothed moving average (EMA). (Learn more in
Exploring The Exponentially Weighed Moving Average.) An Example
For example, using a 10-day MA, an analyst would take the
closing price of the 10th day and multiply this number by 10,
the ninth day by nine, the eighth day by eight and so on to the
first of the MA. Once the total has been determined, the analyst
would then divide the number by the addition of the multipliers.
If you add the multipliers of the 10-day MA example, the number

mortgage-relief plan contains clever elements that might indeed
help homeowners. However, the superfluous threat of inviting
judges to rewrite contracts must dilute the collateral behind
troubled mortgage-backed securities. That, in turn, would
jeopardize the endangered capital of banks, pension funds and
other holders of such securities, including the Federal Reserve,
Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The simplest yet arguably most
potent part of the strategy is the plan to allow Fannie and
Freddie to refinance conforming loans (up to $729,750) without
the quaint requirement that the refinanced loan be no larger
than 80% of the value of the house. This change provides access
to today’s low mortgage rates even to “underwater” borrowers —
those who owe more that their houses are worth. Although such
borrowers have no skin in the game, President Obama assumes or
hopes that their reduced payments will result in fewer defaults.

"E-excuse me? H-how many cakes did you say you needed?"
"Six hundred. One for every issue! And we need them by say,
tomorrow. No problem for a master baker like yourself, surely?"
The Zafara smiled. He was the editor of the Neopian Times,
and seated across from him was the "master baker" in question, a
young Royal Korbat by the name of Graciaa. Her mother, Clariana,
was a master baker and pastry chef, and was renowned for her
skill in making all things sweet and delicious. Graciaa, on the
other hand, was clumsy, forgetful and couldn't bake to save her
life. Last week, her mother had gone to bake in the
kitchens of King Altador, leaving her in charge of her mother's
bustling bakery in the heart of the ancient city of the same
name. Thankfully, her mother had pre-prepared enough cakes for
her to sell. All she had to do was cook them, and aside from the

4.394483 | -4.413227 | 0 | Logan Morrison Returning To Marlins After Receiving Sent Message
Logan Morrison's brief stint in the minor leagues is over, as he
re-joins the Florida Marlins on Wednesday. The organization must
believe the message was received. The Florida Marlins aren't
really capable of setting the Internet ablaze, but they made
their best effort on Saturday, August 13. Following a loss to
the Giants, the Marlins cut Wes Helms and demoted Logan Morrison
to triple-A New Orleans. This despite the fact that, although
he'd been slumping, Morrison was among the best hitters on the
team. Immediately, there was suspicion that Morrison was being
punished more for what he did off the field than for what he did
on it, and the Marlins did little to refute the accusations,
with Larry Beinfest saying, "He needs to concentrate on all
aspects of being a Major Leaguer and work his way back."
Morrison's behavior had gotten him in trouble with the
organization before, and to the outsider it looked like the
Marlins were trying to send him |

Barack Obama and Woodrow Wilson: Sharing a Progressive Plan
Written by While Obama’s mission to extend the
federal bureaucratic empire into every home in America is
carried out by a devoted committee of White House czars, when it
came to ruling in matters of domestic policy, Wilson looked to
one man: Colonel Edward Mandell House. Incidentally, during
World War I, Wilson appointed Bernard Baruch to run the War
Industries Board. Baruch was sometimes called the "industry
czar." Colonel House was very much the model of the modern
corps of White House czars that have been granted expansive
powers by the current occupant of the Oval Office. The
international power brokers of the time (namely, the Council on
Foreign Relations founded by House himself) were so impressed by
Colonel House’s successful efforts at manipulating Wilson, that
they established the National Security Council |

2.152116 | 8.622453 | -1 | Take the 2-minute tour × Learning about proof by induction, I
take it that the first step is always something like "test if
the proposition holds for $n = \textrm{[the minimum value]}$"
Like this: Prove that $1+2+3+...+n = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}$ for
all $n \ge 1$. Test it for $n = 1$: $$n = \frac{n(n + 1)}{2}
\implies 1 = \frac{2}{2}\textrm{, which holds.}$$ * The rest of
the proof goes here * So, I do it all the time (like a
standard). But I never really thought about why. Why do I do
such test? I can see that if the test does not hold, it cannot
be proven by induction, I guess. But is there another reason we
do this? share|improve this question seems like if you want to

following is gaining even more attention in the aftermath of a
virulently anti-gay rant he delivered during a recent broadcast.
The titular teen behind the West Virginia-based Caiden Cowger
Program spent several long minutes excoriating homosexuals and
their supporters — namely President Obama and Lady Gaga.
"Homosexuality is a belief...it'ss not mandatory in that person.
That person is not born that way, no matter what Lady Gaga
says," asserts Cowger. He goes on to claim that there are
"about 30 teenagers in this county that I'm at that are
homosexuals," a "fact" that he finds "sickening," not the least
because he once considered some of them to be his friends. "They
were not homosexuals. They just decided all of a sudden, 'you
know, I think I'm going to be gay'." Cowger, who regards Rush
Limbaugh and Glenn Beck as role models, places the blame for
these teens' extemporaneous "change of heart" on
