roleplaying. I have a few restraints though: • I know nobody
who could play with me in my actual area. • With a quite
active social life, I don't have much time, and foremost, I
don't have a (EDIT: fixed) time in the week where I can free
myself. • Budgetwise, I am quite limited, not that I have a
friendly game shop in proximity. I plan to bring the concept to
my girlfriend, see if she is interested, but first I would like
to get back into the swing of thing. So what I'm searching is a
tabletop experience where I could come and go when I can. I've
heard of mail campaign, but I've also heard that they don't have
much success. As for the genre, it doesn't matter much, but if
it helps reduce the scope of the question, I used to play DnD3.5

don't shy away of something on this account. ADDENDUM: I can

interview with the lovely Kristen Connolly in support of one of
2012's most entertaining films, The Cabin in the Woods. Trust me
when I tell you that the less you know about this particular
horror comedy, the more you'll enjoy taking in a screening. And
heading out to the theater to see this long-delayed film from
the creative minds of Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard is something
you should definitely do. The basics: five friends head out in
a motor home to spend a fun weekend in a cabin in the woods.

to all those that have helped me with answers when I posted up
questions. Now, on my 98 Chevy C1500 (350) I am getting a
misfire code for cylinder 5. I am nearing the end of the work
that I have done on this truck, I feel this is the only thing
that is holding me back. The parts that I have replaced
since I have inherited this truck: spark plugs ignition
coil ignition module fuel pump fuel pressure
regulator coolant temp sensor oil pump egr valve
pcv valve O2 sensor (2x) (before cat) belt tensioner
I highly doubt any of these can cause a misfire, but who knows?
Also, what is the idle suppose to be set at? The idle jumps, but
i'm pretty sure it's cause of the misfire, would adjusting the
idle help? Please, please, please, if anyone have any good
ideas or suggestion |

Saturday Night Live, he released his own live, 50-minute

devolving into fart jokes and Charlie repeating the word "duh"
over and over. (This doesn't really rate on the list of bizarre
behavior from Chuckles recently, but why spell corner with a
"K," and use the part of your name that doesn't start with a
"C"?) Though the video was universally dismissed as "sad, boring
and pointless," it does highlight something unique about his
meltdown. Never before has a star embraced their own media
shitstorm as Charlie has. Sheen's tabloid storyline started out
much like any other. Gossip sites posted documents from his
various court appearances, Charlie's rep released statements,
and quotes were collected from shady anonymous sources. In late

means that you should be petting in a downward motion from the
direction of their head to the direction of their tail. Many,
though not all, ball pythons are head-shy, meaning they do not
like to be stroked on their head, and will recoil or potentially
even become aggressive if they are touched on their head because
of the amount they dislike it. Many head-shy ball pythons will
also not like to be stroked on their necks. Other ball pythons
will be perfectly fine letting a human stroke them on their
heads and necks, but be careful around a new ball python in case
it is in fact head-shy. Sometimes, with increased handling, a

5.064215 | 0.80136 | 13 | West Virginia fiddler Sherman Lawson is chiefly known as the
only musician to ever record with the white country blues
guitarist Frank Hutchison. Lawson was raised in West Virginia
where had one uncle who played a chopping thumb-and-finger banjo
style, and another who made him a gourd fiddle, which Lawson
started to play when he was about 11 years old. In a 1964
interview with Mike Seeger, Lawson recalled that the first tune
he learned to play was "What Will We Do With the Baby-O?" He
became a carpenter when he got older, got married, and continued
playing his fiddle at square dances, much to his new wife's
chagrin. Lawson first ran across Hutchison not too long before
they ended up recording together for the Okeh label. It was
1928, and Hutchison had for several years been influenced by a
black guitarist named Bill Hunt, who reportedly played around
the coal camps starting around 1910. Hutchison picked up both
his style of slide-guitar playing and much of his song
repertoire from Hunt, and it was this materi |

May 2012 19:23 [Source: ICIS news] HOUSTON (ICIS)--US-based
mid-stream company Enterprise Products and Enbridge have
finished reversing the flow of the Seaway oil pipeline, allowing
crude to flow from the over-supplied storage hub in Cushing,
Oklahoma, to the US Gulf coast, the nation's petrochemical hub,
the companies said on Thursday. The first flows of crude should
happen by this weekend, the company said. The reversal will
initially provide 150,000 bbl/day of capacity, the companies
said. That should rise to more than 400,000 bbl/day in the first
quarter of 2013. The reversal could reduce the price gap
between West Texas Intermediate (WTI) crude and pricier crude
grades used on the Gulf coast and east coast. WTI was discounted
because it was trapped at the Cushing hub. Meanwhile, other
crude grades, such as Louisiana light sweet crude, took pricing
cues from the more expensive Brent crude. The advent of shale

Stunning researchers, a woman who had her amygdala removed 13
years ago has been experiencing what has been described as
hyper-empathy, which is the ability to recognize another
person’s emotions. The especially unusual part of the story,
according to researchers, is that the amygdala is involved in
recognizing emotions, and removing it would be expected to make
it harder rather than easier for a person to read others'
emotions. The woman had parts of her temporal lobe, including
the amygdala, removed from one side of the brain to treat a
severe form of medication-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy
(TLE). After the surgery, the woman reported that her seizures
had stopped, but that she started to have this over-powering

I can't seem to find any information on adding additional IPs.
this code helped and after I realized that the IP address and
Subnet fileds were arrays it made more sense:

Bscailly, whne you assign the IPs and Subnets you separate the

string[] { "", ""}; newIP["SubnetMask"] = new string[] { "",""};
share|improve this question 2 Answers 2 I assume you are using
the EnableStatic method of the Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration
class to assign a static IP? If so, the MSDN documentation
refers the the IP address and gateway parameters as lists,
perhaps you can use arrays to assign multiple addresses? Sorry,

even sure which country it is from. At first, it was founded by
Britishers and based in Britain. Then the bastards at GM bought
it and changed it to a populist car. Then GM forced it to commit
incest with Opel, a company based in filthy Germany, which
turned it into a boring car company that is forced to make
Opel's boring products. Vauxhall's motto is "Be proud of who

April, the OMBA Bike Patrol out of Ocala, Florida volunteered
its support for the Hammerhead 100 mountain bike race, which had
more than 200 entrants. Three patrollers volunteered along the
25-mile race course. Two of them rode the main loop while the
third patroller stationed himself and his Jeep at one of the sag
stops. Among the three, they extracted two riders with
dislocated shoulders, cooled down and led out one rider with
heat exhaustion and searched for a missing spectator, who they
found two miles away and provided water to, as he was
dehydrated, before leading him back. Frank Belaska, the
director of the OMBA Patrol, passed along some of the valuable
lessons his group learned from the experience: 1. Have at
least one patroller with a vehicle that can run errands or
transport riders if necessary. 2. When the weather gets hot,
carry extra water and watch out for heat exhaustion. The rider
