07-29-2008, 01:56 PM Hai there! :) Okay, so I went to ACEN this
year, and oh my gosh it was so awesome. I didn't have time to
put a cosplay together, though. But I'm going next year, and
it's not too soon to start planning. Anyway, I decided to be
original, and I'm going to cosplay a character I created. I
already know where I'm getting the goggles. Gotta love goggles.
hehe. The black pants and shoes will be a piece of cake. Now I
need some help with the following: -The hoodie. -The guns and
gun holster. As for the hair, well, it's my natural hair color,
so no worries there. But does anyone know where I can find a
red hoodie with a white hood? And I need to find some toy guns
as well with a belt to hold em. Thank you! 07-29-2008, 11:19

can't find the hoodie you want, just get a red one and a white

economics. Oct. 15 2012 12:07 PM Buenos Aires' Dog Poo Problem
Natalie Schachar has a great piece about the widespread dogshit
everywhere on the sidewalk in Buenos Aires. This is one of
these things where you see how rules and norms interact. The
fact that in major American cities people generally clean up
after their dogs is clearly related to the laws on the books
about this, but it's also clearly the case that in practice
police departments are not dedicating vast resources to the
issue. And in fact though the gains from not having dog shit on
the sidewalk are meaningful, they're relatively small compared
to the costs of a rigorous enforcement of pooper scooper laws.
But what I recall from growing up in New York in the eighties is
that the norms shifted to the point where enforcement costs are
now very low simply because there's not that much violation.
You see this kind of thing all the time. Where violations are
rare, the rareness of violation |

inaccuracies and false allegations about the state of Israel and
its mistreatment of Christians. The sheer irony is in the very
airing of the piece. The fact that it focused on Israel and not
on the Muslim world is in itself a telling story. In the face of
glaring persecution of Christians in the Arab and Muslim Middle
East (including the Christians under the jurisdiction of Hamas
in Gaza and the Palestinian Authority (PA) in the West Bank),
CBS’s allegations against Israel, where Christians do enjoy full
civil rights and religious freedom, are offensive. It exposed
CBS’s cowardice. Instead of challenging Muslim aggression
against Christians and Christianity, CBS chose to express its

when two client processes send data at the same time to this

accepted Every Erlang process maintains a message queue. The
process will fetch a message and handle the messages one by one.
In your example, if two clients calls the gen_server at the same
time, these calls will become a message in the queue of
gen_server process, and the gen_server will process these
messages one by one. So no need to worry about a conflict. But
if one process has to handle too many messages from other

Re: fully agree In reply to dermicha, Jun 7, 2011 Are you
comparing apples with apples with your lens comments? Even
though a lot of the Oly lenses are weather sealed, the Oly 'mid
range and most of the SHG range extend when zooming and many
have a aperture 'range' (3.5 - 5.6 for example, not fixed).
Nikon's new range of mid range zooms also extend, but they are
cheaper and the new G series are now weather sealed. What does
Oly have in the 'non extending range' and how does the price of
the SHG Oly stuff compare? From memory, when you talk Oly 'pro'
gear, they sit in the same size and price range as the Nikon, if
not larger/more expensive. For example, the 14-35 is bigger and
larger than the Canon equivalent and it still extends when
zooming (not to mention the myriad of focus issues they've had
with it), so the 4/3 size and price benefit goes out of the

Faced with an increasing need to maintain carbon and carbon
towers in a sanitary condition, the food and beverage industry
requires a consistent, reliable sanitization method, and heat
optimized technology (HOT) helps address this need. Carbon
towers are very efficient in removing chlorine, chloramines and
a wide range of organic contaminants.Yet, they are vulnerable to
bacterial growth and organic fouling, and therefore require
backwashing and periodic sanitization. When fed with surface
waters, they also require steam stripping to remove accumulated
volatiles such as trihalomethanes (THMs). HOT is a patented

in Brain Tumors Funding Type: New Faculty I Grant Number:
ICOC Funds Committed: Public Abstract: In most tissues,
including the central nervous system, differentiation from a
somatic multipotent stem cell proceeds through transit-
amplifying progenitors (TAPs). These highly mitotic progenitors
are the first committed cells, which may remain multipotent, but
have limited self-renewal capacity. Despite the recent progress
in understanding the pathways operating in stem cells, the
molecular mechanisms that function selectively in TAPs remain
poorly studied. TAPs are likely critical cells that determine
the extent of adult neural cell growth. TAPs may also be the key
cells responsible for the transition from lifetime self-renewing
stem cells to highly proliferative but short-lived progenitors.
This is a very important point in neural cell development and

approximately 300 ft to a mile away. Watching the big red light

moving slowly NE. I then saw about seven smaller lights moving
together from the ocean side very slowly and not particularly in

4.165692 | -3.027632 | -1 | Having been cleared of any wrongdoing by the NRL in relation to
drugs in sport scandal, Manly say their overwhelming feeling
isn't vindication - but rather sorrow for the sad state of
affairs gripping Cronulla. The head of the Sea Eagles'
supplement program, strength and conditioning coach Don Singe,
said it was obvious that a club's first priority was to look
after its players. However, he was reluctant to judge the
Sharks for their alleged indiscretions. Manly were one of six
clubs who were the focus of the drugs in sport investigation,
and like the Sharks, were linked to past dealings with sports
scientist Stephen Dank and supplement salesman Darren Hibbert.
The Sea Eagles maintained their innocence throughout the saga,
with Singe vigorously defending his reputation. The NRL's
confirmation on Tuesday that the Sharks are the only club in
their sights, has allowed Singe and the rest of Manly's staff to
get on with business. Former Cronulla strength and conditioner

Always eager to check out local life, Don and I grabbed a cab
into the little city of Kota Kinabalu one of the nights we were
in Borneo. Honestly, it wasn't really my favourite. Maybe
because it was super humid and hot, and it smelled like garbage
in a lot of places. The streets aren't brightly lit, the
sidewalks are crumbly, and there was the all-too familiar lack
of sidewalks. Lots of the main drags didn't feel pedestrian
friendly at all. You had to jaywalk out of necessity! Their
little night market was alright, though nothing compared to the
amazing Ladies Night Market here in Mongkok. There was a big
open air food cafeteria where you could choose your own seafood
and get it prepared on the spot, but the hawkers were super
pushy and abrasive, so we moved on. We decided to have our
supper at a restaurant recommended by the concierge at the hotel
- Sri Melaka. The town may have been a little rough around the
edges (apparently it's the fa |

rhyme: "I never saw a purple cow, and hope I never see one; but
I can tell you, anyhow, I'd rather see than be one." H.
halobium may have appeared earlier in the history of life than
organisms that use chlorophyl. It is not unreasonable to imagine
that they might have remained the chemical template for all
successive plant life, in which case even land plants might be
purple. And if plants were purple, then some animals might have
evolved purple protective coloration. Hence, purple cows. (wink) |

sanity meters. I once expressed that I'd rather a game didn't
use stats to explain how I should be feeling emotionally, and
the problem with games like Eternal Darkness where sanity is a
resource that goes up and down is that it's a rather mechanical
approach to something unquantifiable. And when the game has
sanity effects, such as blurry screens and funny noises and
pretending that insects are crawling on the camera lens, they
lose their impact once you've gotten used to it. I added a
sanity meter to Consuming Shadow because I wanted to give a
sense that the journey your character goes on is constantly
wearing them down, even while medkits and hospital visits
routinely restore them to full health. So there are plenty of
things that chip away at sanity, but there are very few things

donor The interest in George Osborne's meetings with Oleg
Deripaska has revived questions for the Conservatives over a big
source of their funding, Lord Ashcroft. Osborne and Andrew
Feldman were adamant that the party would in any case not have
accepted any money from the Russian oligarch, since he does not
live in the UK and, while it could be channelled legally through
a British company which he owns, the two declared it "would not
be appropriate to accept such a donation". This invites the
question: is it "appropriate" for the Conservatives to accept
money from Ashcroft, one of the party's largest single donors
and appointed deputy chairman shortly after David Cameron was
elected leader. When the question was put to senior party
officials yesterday, they declined to answer. Ashcroft is
British, but it is unclear whether or not he lives in the UK or
in Belize, the central American tax haven where he resided for

near Okinawa bay, it’s not that there has to be a deliberate
conspiracy to keep the populace from learning the (possible)
truth about this site. It’s merely the effect of the Paradigm we
were discussing about in Minneapolis. Academics are
individuals who have climbed to their positions because, just
like politicians, they have learned the ropes and the ‘rules of
the game.’ They know what’s allowed and what’s a big no no, and
they have been conditioned to auto-regulate themselves, and to
react with incredible antagonism when something potentially
groundbreaking surfaces. That’s why there’s such strong
reaction to the possibility that prior to the ‘classical’ dawn
of civilization as taught by our text books –Mesopotamia, Indus

advanced culture, who suffered a great catastrophe by the end of
the last Ice Age. And, BTW, in some of my private
