Explore the abyss!
Earth, 3024.
Natural resources are scarce and the survival of the human race is in danger. Desperate to find new energy resources, the ASAN creates a biomechanical robot called Nep2no that is capable of withstanding extreme depths in the hope of finding new energy sources. After many years of exploration, a new energy source is found, code named "Gaia".
Your mission will be to find the "Gaia" energy stones by exploring the depths. To do so, you must control Nep2no by counteracting gravity and the surrounding darkness with the aid of a Light that will go out little by little.

adorable boots - order a half size down
"These boots are just as cute as they look. However, they seem to run a half size or so large - if you are okay wearing thicker socks with them, you will be fine. I ended up returning mine because I overheat when my feet are too hot but I might order a size 9 and see if they fit better."

Love Big Buddha!
"I love big buddha boots. These run big. Still comfy, look just like the pic. I'd say they are at least a half size bigger than expected."

I am doing my second bathroom remodel. I have taken the old tile and sheetrock out and I am down to 2X4s. My problem is how do I take out the 30 yr. old shower pan. I pulled all the holding nails and can pry up the edges; it still seems attached at the drain, how do I deal with that?

DeKALB - "We're going back to the place where we fell in love with theater," said Ryan Massie, director of the first theater production of the Northern Illinois University School of Theatre and Dance 2013-2014 Mainstage Series season.
The season opening play is "Almost, Maine," by Tony Award-nominated actor John Cariani. It opened Oct. 17 as the first to perform in its new but temporary venue, at the Huntley Middle School auditorium. The play continues Oct. 24-26.
Massie said there is a lot of nostalgia in performing at the middle school, as many of the cast and crew fell in love with theater when they were in that stage of their education.
"The space is nice," Massie said. "It has its challenges since we're the first ones in the space. I have a great cast and crew that is adapting well."
"Almost, Maine" is the story people falling in and out of love in a fictional tow. The play is divided into nine short vignettes that explore the vastness of love, from its tribulations to its magic.
"It's love…almost," Massie said. "It's deeper than just, 'Love exists and it's a good thing.' This play is a story about the work that love requires."
Although "Almost, Maine" has become the most-produced show in North American high schools this year - booting "A Midsummer's Night's Dream" to the second place spot - Massie doesn't plan for this to be anything like the usual productions. He said the setting is in an abandoned storage house, in order to get back to the skeleton of the script.
He has collaborated with sound designer Jake Harbour to create transitional scenes with easily recognizable love songs that are distorted in some way.

UOAssist API Support
Running Mapper with UOA is pie.
What Operating Systems are supported by the client?
Windows 7, Vista, and XP. The application is a 32-bit binary, which also runs on 64-bit systems.
What Operating Systems are supported by the server?
The server runs as a UI application on Windows XP+ 32- or 64-bit, Linux, or Macintosh OS X computers.
How do I get Ultima Mapper to work with the Enhanced Client?
UM's EC support relies on Pinco's UI Mod, or a custom MapWindow.lua file for position and battle logging. For support when not using a UI Mod, follow these steps:
- Extract the Default.zip file in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Ultima Online Enhanced Client\UserInterface\ directory
- Download the MapWindow.lua file in the downloads section, and place it in the following directory under your Enhanced Client program files directory: UserInterface\Default\Source
Directory Example for Windows 7/Vista/XP 64-bit: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Ultima Online Enhanced Client\UserInterface\Default\Source
Directory Example for Windows 7/Vista/XP 32-bit: C:\Program Files\Electronic Arts\Ultima Online Enhanced Client\UserInterface\Default\Source
When starting Ultima Mapper for the first time, it is setup to use the Enhanced Client out of the box. It attempts to automatically locate your install directory. If your EC support is not working after installing the modified MapWindow.lua, and enabling Ultima Mapper support in Pinco's UI Mod's settings, you may need to set the EC install directory within the program options by right-clicking the map and selecting "Settings." This directory should point to the EC root directory, such as: C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\Ultima Online Enhanced Client\
If logging isn't working when you are not using Pinco's, please be sure that you have selected the second "Default" listing under User Interface options.
How do I get Ultima Mapper to work with the Classic Client?
In order to enable Classic Client support, you must right-click the map, select "Settings", and un-check the "Use Enhanced Client" checkbox under the "Client" section. Once you click "OK" on that window, you should be prompted to select your current client.
Why can't I see my character name in the "Select Client dialog -OR- Why isn't my health tracking working?
In order for the application to read your character information in the Classic Client, your character status window must be open. This is the window you see when you drag off of your character with your mouse. It can either be in the condensed "three bars" form, or the expanded information panel form.
Why can't my friends see me right after I connect?
For the Enhanced Client, your status is only updated when you are moving. If you are not moving, then others will be unable to see your health or battle status, or your current position when first connecting. For the Classic Client, you must force an update when you connect by moving around a few tiles and triggering the client to send the information to the server. This is part of the spam-prevention mechanism, and is intended behavior.
Why don't I see the map after the application has completely loaded?
Ultima Mapper remembers the position of the window each time it is closed. Therefore, if you have dragged the window out of the viewable area of your desktop, you may not be able to locate it the next time you launch the program. In order to fix this issue, you should end the Ultima Mapper process via the Windows Task Manager, then hold the Ctrl key on your keyboard while launching Ultima Mapper the next time. You should press down on the key immediately after starting the application launch, and release it only after the map is fully loaded.
Why do I receive "Not Responding" messages from Windows, when loading Ultima Mapper?
In order to speed up the loading process, we don't give the Operating System as much time back as it would like, so in some cases it may assume that the application has stopped working. In these cases, you should always click "Wait for the program to respond".
How do I remove a "Corpse" marker, once I am resurrected and have retrieved my body?
Right-click the marker on the map and select "Delete Marker" or "Clear Corpse Markers".

Klantenreviews - Verenigde Staten
Golfed for the first time in 2010 with golfshot gps today. External belkin suction cup battery charger $60 attached to iphone 3gs. Combo worked great and left phone on full app functionality all 18 with plenty of juice to spare. Sat nicely in golfcart cupholder the whole way.
I was on the fence about this app. I've been playing a lot of golf and am always looking for something to improve my game or the enjoyment of the game and can say hands down, this app will do both. The stats, knowing and tracking my stats and stat history is just awsome. The distance on the course is improving my shots because of the knowlege that I KNOW I have the right club. It doesn't take too much time to enter scores at the end and this program is 100% awesome. Totally worth the money, looking forward to updates to even make it better, but right now it is just great. Can't wait to get enough rounds in to get my handicap so I can truly improve my game and know where I stand. I don't want to play another round without it... if you are into golf and the features of this appeal to you, get it, I can't reccomend it enough.
I have used all the features of this app now and I can't think of anything I would change. The GPS, course maps, and other information is all extremely accurate. One of my courses recently changed the holes around and it is already updated on the app. I tried another popular golf app that requires a yearly fee and it doesn't come close. I've tried other similar apps and this one is by far the most intuitive, packs the most features, and is easiest to use.
I love golfshot and find it extremely useful and easy to use. My only issue is that it uses up the battery quickly. I have purchased an extra battery in order to get through 18 holes. Any improvement in that area would be appreciated.
Pros - No annual fee. Seems to have every course in my area. Customized layup yardages. Movable marker in aereal view. When GPS is locked the yardages are very accurate. The scorecard function is great. I actually like that it doesn't auto advance to the next hole. I was able to pull my golf cart and enter the scores for my group while walking to the next hole most of the time.
I have used this program about 6-8 times in Florida - Naples and NC. Every time it found the golf course and provided accurate information. It may take some time to get used to the "sequence of things", but once you do, it works well. The only negative that is consistent is the fact that it does take some time to get accurate yardage infomation -- current position to the green, bunkers, water, etc. Many times I've had to wait almost a minute or so, for it to "count down" to the accurate number of yards from my position to the green. I really like the fact the it sends me an email after the round of golf with my score card completely filled out. Unfortunately for me, the sat. photos of my home course were shot during the "brown" winter time, so everything is a bit ugly with the arial views. My net on this program is that it is very, very good. I would recomment it to others.
This app is terrific. At less than $30, it's almost a no-brainer for anyone in the least bit serious about improving. Take the time to learn how to use the program before going on the course. I was embarrassed my first time out. Everyone I show this to can't believe the low price for such a great program.
It works great! Make sure you read the guide, makes things very clear. Well worth the $$!
It works great! Make sure you read the guide, makes things very clear. Well worth the $$!
I have to admit, I was somewhat skeptical, when I first read about this app. Up until now, I've not been impressed with some of the other apps that use GPS which includes the "Tom Tom" APP. I used the GolfShot app this past weekend and absolutely loved it. It was easy to use, gave accurate yardage information and I also loved flipping to the different views. The app also gave great statistics, now if they can only figure out how the app can improve my swing, we'd have a perfect program.
I can now say that I can shoot in the low 80's and no more 90's....thanks again for making a good app!
Most Amazing Golf App Ever! The best part is there are no annual fees . I payment for life!! Great Job Golf Shot!
Great app! I used it on a 4-day golf trip (5 rounds) for the first time, and the GPS was quite accurate. All of the courses were in there, and it was very easy to use. The GPS Active feature allows the gps to stay active while conserving battery life. I was able to use the app for two rounds on one day, while texting and using the other features of my iPhone, and the battery held out (did need to charge shortly after finishing). Much better than I expected and now I'm so glad I didn't spend $400 on a golf gps. This is great!
No need to buy another device, just download this app for the $30 and keep your phone fully charged before you play 18. That's all! Awesome! Easy!
Used for the 1st time today. Really superior gps tracking. Also used it as my scorecard and stat taker and it was easy to use. Did not use a paper card today...saved a tree. Really happy with everything except the price. Guess you get what you pay for.
Really superior to all other iPhone golf GPS apps. Very accurate to within a yard or two of expensive cart based GPS systems.

I have a $350 GPS unit I bought last year that this app runs cirlces around. Great product. Worth every penny. Bravo!
Great app! Distances are always within a yard ot two of cart GPS and other GPS golf devices. Great stats. Wish I could record stats for others in my group, even if it's just putts and GIR and send with the scorecard.
As far as the app is concerned, 5 stars fo a great app, hope they are workng on including GPS Dual for iPod Touch in future releases as per their response to my inquiry. Email from Golfshot... Golfshot does not currently support third party GPS units for the iPod touch. We are considering this for future releases and will update the app description if this becomes available.
Used today for first time, everything worked perfect.. I have buddies who have the handheld, and paid 3 to 400.00 for. Plus have to pay subscription fees yearly,. I highly recommend this gps!!!!!

I finally played a full 18 holes with friends today and I love it. The yardage reading are really very accurate. The scorecard accessibility after the round is excellent. Very nice....
This app is all that it is cracked up to be, and then some! The GPS is very accurate. The stats are cool and the email feature for the scorecard is a nice touch.
I only play golf 5-10 times a year, and still think this is a must have. All those features, no battery issues, for less than $30, no brainer! Friends with $300 gps' were asking my distances. Ha! Way to go guys!

Cute but weak
"I literally wore these shoes 5 times, and they broke. They were a little long- so I caught the front of the sandal the 3rd day- and bent the shoe under. It was fine, so kept wearing it- 2 days later the strap ripped out of it. I reached down to mess with the other one (that hadn't been bent) and the strap ripped out of it. They're incredibly cute, but super weak."

"This is such a nice and comfy shoe, but this shoe did not work for me and I had to return the shoe. The length was a bit to long for my toes and wasn't available in a 1/2 size smaller. I would recommend this shoe to a person with longer toes."

"These shoes are leather, however they feel like vinyl. They have no "give' making the tiny straps uncomfortable. I was looking forward to finally having a pair of turquoise sandals :-("

Peek a Boo
"I loved the color of this shoe. The cork is somewhat cheaply made but overall it was a cute shoe. However, I ordered a 7 1/2 and then an 8. My big toe came out too much on both sizes, and I don't even have a long big toe. I refuse to wear a shoe where any of my toes hang over. Unless you have very, very short toes or don't mind your big toe poking out playing peek a boo, this shoe won't work."

Squawking About the Wing Sauces
Judging at the National Buffalo Wing Festival: A Hot & Saucy Time
Labor Day weekend may signal the unofficial end to summer but for many fowl fans that date means it's time to consume chicken wings of every size, taste and style. Drew Cerza, the Wing King himself, said the 12
annual event welcomed in 15 new eateries from around the country, Canada and from our own back yard. Coca-Cola Field in downtown Buffalo was the setting for the festivities.
My colleague, Tony Caligiuri, from the Sandy Beach Show on WBEN AM & FM and the host of WGR's "Inside High School Sports," and I smacked our lips in delight when we were invited to be judges in the National Sauce-Off competition. Tony tasted dozens of wings with traditional flavors, while I opted for the Traditional Hot and Traditional X-Hot.
I've been accused of having an iron stomach and an asbestos tongue, both of which came in handy for this contest. While most of the hot and extra hot sauces were tame, my fellow heat-seeking judges and I encountered a pair of sauces that had us mopping our brows.
A few of the wing boxes were adorned with hot peppers just to reinforce the spicy and "heated" competition. We chomped on those peppers too, never fearing the heat.
While I wished that the sauces were consistently hot across the board, I do commend Quaker State & Lube and Fire on the Mountain for their X-hot versions, both winners in my book.
As for my fellow foodie Tony, he had the these thoughts: "Peanut butter and jelly does not belong on a wing and using too much BBQ rub is not good; it supposed to add flavor not drown it out. When making a traditional hot chicken wing, don't overdo it on the butter," Tony said. "The creative category should be eliminated so many of them were flat out gross. I did think it was a nice time and a nice event."
As another Wing Fest is put in the coop, kudos to Drew Cerza and all the staff for a fun event and for continuing to raise more than a quarter million dollars for local charities over the past decade.
Here is the list of winners from the 2013 Sauce Off edition:

Sliders Grill & Bar

Flames Claim Brett Carson
Kent Wilson
February 28 2011 11:49AM
Calgary made a minor move today, claiming former Calgary Hitman Brett Carson off of waivers from the Carolina Hurricanes. Carson is mostly an NHL 'tweener, having played in just 72 NHL games over the last 4 seasons. The 25-year old is more "veteran" than Mikkelson, but hardly moves in the needle in terms of actual defensive depth for the Flames. He's a pending UFA, so no real commitment beyond this season.
This may be the only move Calgary makes today folks.
Edited by Robert - As I noted in comments, Carson is a RFA this summer.
February 28 2011, 12:03PM
If this is the only move the Flames make today I don't see any improvements. Making the playoffs is 50/50 at this point.
I would suggest that the playoffs are 50/50 regardless of the magnitude of any moves that Feaster could possibly make today.
February 28 2011, 12:15PM
The playoffs are 50/50 due to the current log-jam of teams. I bet one or two of these teams hits a skid, then a slump.
I don't think the Flames will be one of these teams.
As for making no moves, clearly Feaster is playing it safe. His jobs on the line. Nemisz, Bouma, Cunning, Kotalik, whomever, will be called up to fill any voids created by injuries.
It's almost like Feaster's telling this team, "Make the playoffs, as you are. Or they're will be changes." They may surprise him, make the playoffs, and go on a run.
Even so, look for significant player-personnel changes in the summer. Regardless.
We should've made the trade for McGrattan and claimed McBackup off waivers. You know, relive the glory days...
Seriously though, claiming Sturm off waivers might have been a decent idea. Or getting Brad Boyes for a 7th round pick or whatever that was.

I hope Langkow is healthy in time for the playoffs!

What about Bergfors? What would it have taken to poach him??
Per Darren Dreger's Twitter...
Contract talks between Calgary and Curtis Glencross hit a snag. Glencross was hoping for a 4-5 year extension. about 1 hour ago via web
Thanks Curtis for letting us know about an hour before the trade deadline. We're going to lose him for nothing.

5 years at 1.5 gogogo
I wouldn't worry to much about Glenny. Just because he won't get a 4 or 5 year deal to his liking doesn't mean he wants to be here. In fact I think its a very good sign, it shows he wants to be here long term. So I don't think its worth worrying about.
February 28 2011, 01:00PM
He had said the weekend of the Winter Classic he was enjoying himself here, liked the boys in the room... And so forth.
I think we re-sign him, Tanguay, Morrison and Babchuk. Which is perhaps why we made no moves today.
As for Carson, well hey, good on Feaster IMO. Here is why, he just wanted a depth defencemen and he has that. He didn't give up anything to get it so I think that is alright.
I'll admit that I was curious if we were going to pick up a macarthur or hemsky. But the asking price was certainly too high and macarthur can be had in the off season (if we want to over pay for him.)
I'm also wondering how good free agency will be, it seems there is less and less cap space available so i'm doubtful there will be so many dumb contracts as in years prior.

Considering we're not talking about Kessel, what else could he have said?
February 28 2011, 01:17PM
Considering we're not talking about Kessel, what else could he have said?
He could have said very little. But he expanded. Perhaps a positive sign.
If he comes at the hometown discount, it's says a lot about how much this coaching staff has done this season.
February 28 2011, 01:24PM
Looks like Higgins is on the way to Vancouver to burn us 6 times a year now.
Wasn't there some thing about him wanting to play in a place like FLA or LA because of the weather? Or just not in Canada? Or was that he just didn't want to play for the Flames?
February 28 2011, 01:26PM
And for the love of all that is holy, why would any team help Vancouver?
February 28 2011, 01:29PM
And Higgins is a Canuck.
Is Modin UFA after this season? And where does he fit?? Who sits??? (I think he has a two-way contract...)
February 28 2011, 01:34PM
(inspired by a comment on my site about my girls)
Why oh why do we always get the homer GMs. Sutter brings in his past heroes and now Feaster does the same with Modin. Makes no sense at all. We need young pluggers and draft picks.
Yeah I know. Like imagine that superstar we are going to miss in the 7th round with that pick we gave away. The fact that he is a UFA at the end of the year makes it all worse too right? He is only a guy who is good at a 4th line role and can be better than Hagman in that spot. Aboslutely terrible.
Why didn't we trade Iggy, Reggy, and Kipper for some first rounders in this upcoming draft that by all accounts is going to be fairly even in the first round with not alot of deviation.
Like look at Edmonton, after years and years of sucking they are finally going to put it together.
Ontop of that the Flames have the scouting staff that knows how to draft and draft well too! Look at all of those amazing players we have in Abbotsford that are about to crack our roster.
Look, we don't have the scouting staff to make use of draft picks so why hope we blow it up for them? Do you like to watch the flames lose? Do you miss the 90's?
Carson is by no means anything to get excited about but his stats out of Carolina aren't terrible. I dont know if he will play with the Flames this year, he honestly probably isnt better than Staios (i just threw up in my mouth).
Ultimately given the price this was likely worth a try. If nothing else he is a positive player in +/- and last year did alright with counting stats. It sounds like he can skate too so maybe this wasn't terrible, time will only tell. Just dont have super high expectations and take him for what he is #8 on the depth chart for this year. Probably he wont be with us next year either, it was just a cheap stop gap without the assets to go after any defender with a slight bit more relevancy.
Modin was had for nothing pretty much. Will he help up win? Maybe slightly. I can see him on the chart of relevancy being between kostopolous and Kotalik. Nothing more, nothing less. It is depth and if my memory serves me correctly he scored the game winning goal in game 7 of the finals in 2004.
February 28 2011, 02:37PM
@Brent G.
Nope, that would have been Ruslan Fedotenko. He scored the game tying goal AND the game winning goal. I believe he also scored a key goal in the Penguins' Cup win as well.
February 28 2011, 02:38PM
At least we didn't bring in Lecavalier and his albatross of a contract.
Would YOU turn down a trade to the Canucks? I sure wouldn't. You only get so many chances to join a first place club that is poised to take a serious run at the cup.
Having said that, Higgins doesn't have a no-trade clause so he wouldn't have any input into this trade at all.
Here is what we know:
- Carson is big. - Carson is pretty fast. - Carson played for a team that B Sutter would have watched a LOT (given that Brandon plays in Carolina.
As a depth move, with some potential upside, I like it. The price is certainly right!
He's on a 2 way contract, makes the league minimum salary, and he is UFA this summer. No risk move.
February 28 2011, 03:29PM
I like these moves. Carson is a young, big, mobile D-man at low cost and is RFA come season end. What more do you think we could of had at this point? He is familar with some players on our team and can fill in in place of our bottom pairing in a pinch.
As for Modin he nothing more then a stretch guy for us at this point. Someone to add depth and fill in if/when injuries occur. He has experience, is a winner on multiple levels, low cap cost, $800,000 I believe, and is a UFA at season end. Very, very low risk. Not sure what people thought we were going to grab but this is what I thought we would get if not even a bit more. Are we better then before these moves, yes even if it is just slightly.
February 28 2011, 04:14PM
Of course the players want to go there. I meant more on the team/management side - helping a team that is clearly dominant this season and having the potential to meet them in the finals is a bad thing.
Imagine if Boston had traded someone over to the Canucks, then faced them in the finals. That person turns around and scores a game winner to clinch the Cup or turn momentum. Burns like gonohrrea.
Is Carson a UFA or an RFA? Some folk in some other places were saying that he's an RFA.
Did Feaster basically call out Pelech at his presser? Heard that he did (but didn't hear the presser).
February 28 2011, 07:17PM
Carson is a RFA, Parallex.
And yes, he did mention that Pelech was still having trouble with wide speed at the AHL level. He also mentioned that he was reckless when looking to make hits, rather than just keeping his position. He made it clear that given Calgary's position in the standings, he was too risky a call up, which is why they went for Carson.

Fun and flirty height without the hassle
"When I first saw these shoes, I thought that the height of them would deter me from buying them. Once I tried them on, I fell in love! The slope of the shoe isn't really drastic so you don't feel like you're walking on your tip toes. The bottom traction is AMAZING. You won't be slipping anywhere with these on. The ankle strap is supportive and secure. My only issue with the shoe is that it's slightly narrow so the straps can dig in just a bit, but since the straps are wide and smooth, it's not really bothersome."

The steady climb to the castle was massive and induced a temporary and mischievous surge of strength from the old fella and me as we powered our way to the top flapping pathetically over the last few metres before finding a nearby wall to hold on to. The plaza de la iglesia occupied our attention for ages, in particular the views that could be seen for miles around.
Olvera has seen human settlement for more than two-thousand years and just oozes history. On one edge of the square sits the church of Nuestra Se�ora, a stocky and enchanting structure which sits confidently, almost arrogantly, atop its highly appropriate pedestal which overlooks the village. We let our eyes wander, following the undulating contour of distant hills and mountains, the tiny clusters of white settlements dotted here and there amongst the vast landscape. The weather was shite but the views were fantastic, offering an interesting contrast to coastal Spain. This was mountainous, barren-like and teeming with traces of Old Spain.
We stopped for tapas. Of course we stopped for tapas, and this little restaurante on the hill was a gold mine of pleasures: the minutely detailed tiles of blue and white, each one contributing to the fascinating finished product of a much larger picture; the lively chanting of smiley locals perched on tiny stools slurping back coffee and sinking teeth into oil-soaked bread; the huge 'caveman's club' of aged hog's leg which lay prisoner-like, showing off the perfect arc where whisper-thin slices of delicately carved jamon serrano have been harvested; and a whole selection of tapas, most of which we'd not come across before and all nestled snugly in a spotlit display cabinet. Neither the restaurateur nor his customers spoke English. It was perfect. An hour later we waddled out.
Next stop was 'Arcos de la Frontera', another old town, and one which happens to be arranged quite curiously right on the edge of a sheer precipice. The whole town is said to have a bit of a crazy sinister vibe about it, laden with witchcraft and the occasional bursting of madness. We parked up, walked around, summitted and descended and got a good feel for the place. It was odd. And old. Very old, and as the wind howled through the streets and whisped around us like a dark blanket, I'm sure that I started to hear the cold message of crying voices. It was only when we started eyeing each other up and down and licking our lips that we realised it was time to get out of there.
And so we made it in one piece. To Jerez, (pronounced 'Heh-reth', if you want to get into all this) and known more officially as 'Jerez de la Frontera'. It's significantly larger than the other places we soaked up - sort of, city-to-village larger, 'Christchurch to Queenstown' maybe, or even 'Birmingham to Burntwood'. By the time we'd negotiated one of the many one-way systems and found a suitable hotel - losing the old gel in the process (panic stations), it was almost dark and we managed - through a scattered delivery of basic Spanish and hand gestures - to secure two reasonably priced rooms.
We spent most of the night in the amazing 'Calle Polvera', a big bustling main street lined with trees which intertwine themselves seamlessly, creating a kind of 'leaf ceiling' which makes the whole street seem as if it were indoors. We sat outside right underneath them and sunk cervezas. By mid-evening we'd had a good meander around and found ourselves kind of by accident in the local church marvelling at its architecture and uniqueness. We totally lost ourselves in there, individually, and it was only when the door snapped shut that I realised we'd just won ourselves a seat at the front of 'tonight's sermon'. Though there was a bit of sweating involved, we sat through it as humbly as we could and made all the effort in the world to stand up, mumble and sit down in all the right places.
We got out an hour later. We said nothing. No questions, suggestions or ideas. There was no need. We walked straight to the nearest restaurante. Cervezas y tapas. Muchas. Sublime. Rounder. Heavier..
Tapas count:- 21

There are many reasons to attend the 2014 AIA National Convention—and I could go on for a while, based on my own attendance history, about inspiring keynote speakers, world-class educational opportunities, and meeting those on the cutting edge of building materials and products.
Of course, I always learn a lot about the host city itself—and in the case of Chicago, there's always something new to discover.
Above all, though, the core value of the convention is the opportunity for fellowship with my colleagues. Chance encounters in the hall, tea with a long-time friend, serving on a panel with other small-business owners, or even sharing the main stage with remarkable architects—communion and communication matter more to me than any other aspects of a convention.
Here's the hinge of my argument, though:
Talking amongst ourselves brings oxygen to the blood of our work, but finding opportunities to talk to others outside of architecture gives our work purpose and context.
To be truly useful, communication must be more than what we want to say (or give) in terms of expertise and experience; there must be an eagerness to receive. We must listen. And, not only listen to members of the public already actively interested in architecture, but to seldom-served constituencies who must have a voice in shaping their own environments: residents of low-income housing, individuals who are in prison, patients in hospitals, the elderly in nursing homes, and children in school.
People will engage when they believe they have something to contribute that others will find meaningful. Instead of initiating a conversation with the implicit assumption that we architects have all the answers, imagine the possibilities when all the parties touched by architecture (and that means everyone!) are open to developing a shared agenda, one that's long-term in its possibilities and implications.
Such engagement marks a healthy partnership.
Far different from the speed-dating approach of many so-called "outreach" initiatives, these partnerships are like a marriage: They are evidence of a long-term commitment in which the parties are, in a fundamental sense, considered equal and are respected for the unique assets each brings to the relationship.
Developing an understanding of the power of architecture to transform lives is too big of a challenge and too important to leave to media celebrities and a few notable experts. It's a joint endeavor in which architects and the public connect in a constructive conversation that grows more vibrant over time.

"I really like these shoes. They run a little narrow in front so you might need a little more than a couple of wears to break into them. Other than that, they're great."

Lovely and comfortable, but break them in first!
"I own two pairs of these shoes and highly recommend them. They're easy to wear either to the office or out and about with friends, and are comfortable and are pretty easy to walk in despite the height. I've worn them out a few times and am glad I bought them. However, I would advise breaking them in around the house before you wear them for a full day--the leather on the back is a bit stiff, and it rubs the ankle the first couple of times you wear them out otherwise."

works great on my carb. for my cb750k5
quality was great and the shipping was fast..great job!
I have purchased this already and does work great. Very easy to use.
Fits as described
Kit not even close to fitting Honda VT1100C3 like it claims.
used on a 2005 Ninja. Idle needles are a bit different than the OEM version, but they work just fine. Smoothed out the idle and low end transition nicely (WOT was always fine).
Fit like a charm, didn't have a problem installing
very nice
exactly what I needed and fast delivery
The kit does not come with the right bowl gasket, it should be stated some bowl gaskets not included. But the rest of the kit was good.
Had everything needed for repair great product beats dealer prices...

The Emery High Theatre Department presented the non-musical play, ALMOST, MAINE on Feb. 13, 14, 18, and 20, in the Spartan Center Little Theatre.
ALMOST MAINE takes place in an unincorporated section of northern Maine that is not quite but "almost" a town, thus the name. The play is a series of scenes that all take place in the "town" at 9 p.m. on a February night.
Though the scenes come one at a time, they are all - in theory - happening at the same time. The play features 16 students in eight scenes and is a comedy, a farce, and a drama all at the same time. It is in fact, a relationship play that examines the entire range of human emotions.
Almost, Maine is a play by John Cariani, comprising nine short plays that explore love and loss. It premiered at the Portland Stage Company in Portland, Maine in 2004 where it broke box office records and garnered critical acclaim.

Psalm 10
David speaks of various acts of the wicked—God is not in their thoughts—But the Lord is King forever and ever—He will judge the fatherless and oppressed.
1 Why standest thou
2 The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 For the wicked
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God:
5 His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
7 His mouth is full of
8 He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.
12 Arise, O Lord; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the
13 Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.
14 Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the
15 Break thou the
16 The Lord is
17 Lord, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

Amazing story by Ben Saunders of the hardships they face coming back from the South Pole unassisted.
Our near-empty sledges still felt heavy and the energy that carried us up the Beardmore, and indeed to the Pole itself in record time despite dragging more than anyone in history, started to wane dramatically in the last few days. What's more, we've been running lower on food as we failed to meet our mileage targets. Six days ago we started to eat half rations, and I've felt shattered every day since, aware that I was depleting my body at a rate that might have been reckless. My stomach growled permanently, my ribs became more prominent by the day, my legs were painfully weak and my mind and thoughts and decision-making grew foggy and dim. On our second day of half-rations I got dangerously cold when I had to remove my outer jacket in the middle of a storm to add more insulating layers, and it was only Tarka's help -zipping up my jackets like I was a toddler while my cold hands hung useless by my side- that got me out of trouble and through a very dark day indeed.
I've been reluctant to say so (sorry mum!) but we've both been on the ragged edge for a while now, and on New Year's Eve, we set out on what was to prove the hardest day of the expedition. It was Tarka's turn this time to struggle, and I'd reached a state where I was barely able to realise it. The windchill was -45 degrees centigrade when I recorded it, and we stayed outside for more than 13 hours, on fifty percent of the food I'd intended and wearing almost all the clothes we had with us. At breaks we would eat halved energy bars and our normally-sweet drinks tasted like lukewarm dishwater with a hint of lemon. Towards the eighth or ninth hour Tarka's normally rock-steady metronomic pace started to become erratic and he seemed to stagger and stumble more than usual on ridges and divots in the snow surface. He stopped mid-session, in a howling blizzard, to remove his outer gilet (the Primaloft-insulated Mountain Equipment Compressor vests that have served us so well here) and flipped back his hood as if he were too hot. I know -as a professional leader of expeditions to the coldest places on the planet- that these are tell-tale signs of hypothermia, yet I was on the limit myself and failed to react. All I can remember from that afternoon that drifted into evening, with the dim sun slowly wheeling around us and the horizon erasing itself and reappearing again in the whirling fog of spindrift, was being unable to think of anything more than the battle raging in my head against the part of me that wanted so desperately to stop. Just to lean my shoulders on my ski poles and slump forwards against the resistance of my harness and rest, and to hell with the consequences. I wondered at times if I fell over whether I'd have the strength to stand up again, the energy to yell for Tarka, or whether he'd even notice me calling over the noise of the wind.
When I took over the lead I kept turning back to see Tarka -normally right on my heels- drifting further behind me. I stopped a few times to let him catch up, but it was too cold for me to wait for more than a minute or two before I started shivering, so I raised a single ski pole, he raised his in reply -a signal we've often used here- and I shuffled on. After doing this a few times, with Tarka receding as if the horizon was sucking him backward like quicksand, he stopped raising his pole. I waited, but by now he was a tiny dark speck in the white that took forever to grow. I unclipped my harness and started to put the tent up, feeling dizzy and breathless myself, and taking what seemed like ages to match the poles to their corresponding fabric sleeves, like a drunk taking some sort of coordination test. "Sorry I'm late", said Tarka as he arrived, but it sounded like someone else entirely, his words mumbled and slow.
As we finished slowly setting up camp, I saw he was fumbling in his giant outer mittens with the plastic buckles that strap our sledges closed. "I can't feel my hands", he said through a mask encrusted with ice, his shoulders slumped forwards. As we zipped ourselves into the porch of the tent to take our boots and outer layers off before climbing into our sleeping bags, we saw that the tips of his thumbs were at least badly frostnipped, if not lost entirely to frostbite. I remember feeling a mixture of fear and anger, both at him and at myself for letting this happen. I pulled up my jacket and fleece so he could warm his hands in my armpits, and to my relief the colour and circulation started to return. We ate our watery half-dinners in near-silence and fell asleep exhausted and cold, knowing we would have to match the same distance the next day.
Our depot was still 74km away and we had barely more than half a day's food to reach it; eight energy bars each, half a breakfast and half an evening meal. 16km into the following day Tarka started to slow again as he led, before stopping entirely and waving me forward to talk. "I feel really weak in the legs again", he said. "OK. What do you want to do?" I answered snappily, before realising this was on me. I came here to be challenged and tested, to give my all to the hardest task I have ever set myself and to the biggest dream I have ever had. And here was the crux. This was the moment that mattered, not standing by the Pole having my photograph taken, but standing next to my friend, in a howling gale, miles away from anyone or anything. "Let's put the tent up", I said, "I've got an idea".
My idea was to call for a resupply. To have more food and fuel flown to our position so that we could rest and recover before finishing this journey. A decision that changes the status of this expedition from "unsupported" or "unassisted" or whatever semantics you wish to choose to the opposite. Part of me also feels it inevitable that we and this journey would face critics even if we'd done it in period clothing eating pemmican and pony meat. Yet in an instant I realised that my and Tarka's lives are not something I wanted to gamble with, and that we had given our all. We were lucky that neither of us had collapsed the day before, and I knew we couldn't possibly have hoped to recover on our meagre rations from the physical holes we'd dug ourselves into.
At the other end of the world, on the other end of a crackling and hissing satellite phone line, our expedition manager Andy Ward sprang into action, and things happened incredibly quickly, with a ski-plane carrying eight days' of rations landing twelve hours later. The weather worsened as we waited and I feared the flight would be aborted, or that a bag would be air-dropped at speed and lost in the blizzard, but in a beautiful twist of what some might call fate, the pilot was Troy, the same man that picked me up from the Arctic Ocean after my 72-day solo expedition nearly ten years ago, and in my eyes the finest polar pilot in the world. The Twin Otter appeared through a tiny hole in the rolling cloud and swang over us once before landing on the ridged and uneven snow surface and taxiing right up to our tent, its wing-tip almost above our roof. The wind was still blasting and the plane's skis were almost hidden under the blowing snow. "I'm sorry about the weather", I said to Troy, amazed that he'd been able to land. "Oh, it was fine", he replied modestly.
The hours we spent waiting were, I fear, dark ones for Tarka. He seemed a broken man. "It'll look like my fault", he said, "and that's a good thing for you." This was Tarka through and through. Weeks ago he said humbly, "If there are media at the airport when we get back, I'm happy to help with the bags while you talk to them." He finally admitted last night that when I was struggling (and if I'm honest now, on the verge of wanting to quit) a few weeks ago he'd taken food bags from my sledge while I was in the tent to help lighten my load without telling me, so he'd been pulling more weight than me for weeks.
Tarka is the hero here, and the irony of our situation is that I would never have made it to this point without his herculean efforts; his giving everything he has to this goal. I'm proud of how deep we have each dug, and I am amazed and humbled by Tarka's sacrifice. He has pushed (or indeed pulled) himself until he dropped, and I'm also as exhausted as I've ever been. For weeks now I have slept fitfully and woken up cold. We are both alarmingly lean, and we have both struggled for a while to maintain trains of thought or decent conversations. I suspect my writing has been going downhill too.
And now we are lying here resting, like two new men after ten hours' sleep, full-bellied and warm again for the first time in weeks, before we move north again to complete this unfinished journey. Our status has changed, but how little that means to me now. Scott didn't wear his harness until the Beardmore and would have been "supported" in modern polar parlance. I don't think we made any mistakes, and I don't think we could have done anything more, or pulled any more food up here. We travelled 5.6km per day at the start with 200kg per man, greater loads than each of Scott's weakest ponies hauled.
Heck of a trip regardless of the outcome. Â Make sure you read the entire post.

Off-Road Bumpers
Skid Plates Provide The Ultimate In Off-Road Protection
If you take your 4x4 off-roading, you have likely gained an appreciation of how unforgiving trails can be when it comes to your vehicle's underside. Deep ruts with rough edges can appear out of nowhere, sturdy-looking rocks can shift unexpectedly, and tranquil bodies of water can hide everything from sinkholes to fallen tree trunks. Before you know it, the underside of your truck has bounced off something hard enough to damage moving suspension components or puncture housings containing engine oil, gasoline, transmission fluid, or differential gear oil.

Those of you who follow me on twitter know that my mother (74 yo) had a heart attack on Monday. She was seen quickly in a small rural hospital who gave her a "clot-busting" drug which open her right coronary artery back up and prevented/minimized any heart muscle loss. She was then air-evaced to the Arkansas Heart Hospital in Little Rock where she had an angiogram under the care of cardiologist Dr. Carl Leding.
For someone who has been "asymptomatic" it is amazing how much blockage she has! 80-90% in the RT coronary near it's origin and another 50% in one of it's branches, 70% in the left main coronary before it gives off the anterior descending branch, and 70% in the circumflex artery.
She has a history of hypertension and type 2 diabetes. She quit smoking in 2002. Her mother died of a stroke. Her father of heart disease. Her only sister died of a rupture cerebral aneurysm. Fortunately, she loves to dance and that has kept her active.
Tuesday, Dr Charles Watkins (CT surgeon) did her CABG -- a 4 vessel. All went well with the surgery, but she failed to "wake up" postop. So just after noon Wednesday a CTscan of her head was done. She had multiple small and large areas of non-hemorrhagic stroke, some old and other new. This morning she is to have an EEG and then the neurologist will see her. I hope he tells me that Dr Watkins and I are wrong and that all will be well. That is not likely.
I want to thank all involved in her care. I think they have done a marvelous job. I also want to thank everyone who has kept my family in their thoughts and prayers. They are much appreciated.
We can't (yet) change our genetics, but our family history can give us warnings to change or improve our habits. You can tell by my mother's history above that my own family history is heavy with heart disease and hypertension (several siblings have HBP). I own up to this history. I try to walk daily, but should pick up my pace and make it more aerobic. I try to keep my weight down to avoid type 2 diabetes. I try to limit my caffeine to 2 cups per day. I need to make my diet more consistent with the DASH diet (pdf). I have cut back on my salt intake, but could do better. I eat fruit and vegetables, but could do better. I don't eat red or processed meat on a daily basis, but could add more fish to my diet. I am fairly good at the whole grains. I don't smoke. I have a major sweet tooth which I have to fight. I most likely need to check my blood pressure weekly rather than monthly. It has always been normal, but the day of my mother's surgery it was not.
Despite all the "right" things we may do to avoid disease such as heart disease, sometimes it finds us anyway. Check out Denver Doc's recent post (Heart Attacks and Low Cholesterol) about a patient with almost perfect "numbers" who had a heart attack.
Two lessons here: prompt access to modern medicine is grand, and none of us can rest assured in our low cholesterol numbers.

Customer Reviews - United States
I think golfshot is as good or better than any "skycaddie" type system one would buy. This can be downloaded on your iphone for a one time fee that is pennies compared to the other systems. It is clear, easy to use, and gives the info a golfer needs. I can't be more pleased. It is the reason I decided to get up with the new technolgy of the iphones. Before you buy another system, give this a look!
Yet to come across a course where golf shot was unavailable. Best golf app ever.
I am using this app to replace my Sky Caddie. I have to say I like this app much better. I don't have to download courses. With this app I turn it on, the app finds me and I go play. I also use the club yardages to determine how to lay up to the club I want to hit for my approach shots. It is really great on courses I have never played before. It is a great app!
You have to use it to really enjoy the useful features. All of my golf partners are envious and always asking for info.
It has never failed me in having maps and location of all golf course. Price is steep but you pay for what you get.
It has never failed me in having maps and location of all golf course. Price is steep but you pay for what you get.
Great app. Replaced my $300 golf GPS with this app. Use this with a batterycase and I never run my battery down. Easy to keep and save your scores.
I played 85 times so far this season and worth ever penny I spent! I can't remember a time it didn't work and every course I played up and down the East Coast it had. The stats really helped improved my game, and friends I played with. Don't buy anything else, you will regret it like I did!!!
Easy to use. Worth the price!
Great app. Adding interface to handicap authority would be awesome.
This app has every course I play! And I play a lot! Distances are accurate! Easy to use! Love this app!
Excellent app can't play without it
Wonderful app!! Won't play without it! Actually speeds up play not worrying about yardage, and the scorecard built right in is easily accessible! Only thing bad is battery won't last if you play 36
Great tool and so easy to use. Stat tracking great and when done I can always get a lesson from Zinger on the companion app!
Great app. Really helpful and useful. Will not play without it!
Great app. Really helpful and useful. Will not play without it!
This app was the best ever. Then someone decided they needed to incorporate Facebook into it. People want to play golf. They use to have a running list of people who you regularly played with. You could recall the list and input them onto the score card. Some dope,that I'm sure doesn't play golf, removed that option on the last upgrade. So now if you don't have that person in your contacts list or in Facebook you can't input them. It takes up to much time trying to get the score card ready before you tee off. Please bring back the running list of players on the next upgrade. Other then that the app works great. It gives you info extremely fast which is what you need.
So good
100% the best app I've ever used. Took a couple rounds to figure it out, but once you do you'll love it. Yardage is dead on. No more air mailing greens or playing from the front bunker. Pin high every time. The stat keeping is awesome. Now you see where your strokes are coming from. Recommend this app for all golfers, It will help your game.
This app is fantastic. I use it extensively every time I play and it helps me analyze my game and improve.
When the shot is on the line I trust this distance over guys in my groups rangefinders any day. Hole views as well as green views are great and load up quickly. My friends love keeping their stats and love or should I say hate getting the email of the round. For the price this app can't be beat.
Use it all the time and have checked it against my friends $250 GPS and it's always accurate. First review I have ever written. Great App
Use it all the time and have checked it against my friends $250 GPS and it's always accurate. First review I have ever written. Great App
For the money this is a great app. Works just like a cart Gps plus keeps scores and stats. Tough on the iphone battery but since getting it i dont use my range finder.
I've used different rangefinders, but this one is the most intuitive ever. I had a upro mx that, believe it or not, worked great. But for the price difference, this app is just as good if not better. My friends have Skycaddies and Golfbuddies and we are never more than a yard or two off. For my game, that yard or two isn't going to affect my club selection. Do yourself a favor and purchase this app along with golf plan. They're both well worth the $...

Earthquake Glossary - strike-slip
Strike-slip faults are vertical (or nearly vertical) fractures where the blocks have mostly moved horizontally. If the block opposite an observer looking across the fault moves to the right, the slip style is termed right lateral; if the block moves to the left, the motion is termed left lateral.

Over $197,331,846 has been raised for medical fundraisers and other causes.
Raised: $2,370
The friends and family of Peggy Goodfellow are striving to aid her significant other with this difficult time and unforseen burial expenses
Create a fundraiser to help family and friends cope with the emotional and financial costs of their loss.Start a Fundraiser
Managing a funeral after an unexpected death can mean additional stress for a family already coping with grief. And it's not always easy to ask for help with funeral expenses, especially since many people are in the dark as to how much funerals can actually cost.
According to eFuneral.com, in 2012 the average cost for a burial service was $8,565 and $3,725 for cremation. Few people are lucky enough to have this large sum at their quick disposal, which means that many families will have to dip into their savings accounts or take out loans in order to cover it.
But if you and your family are feeling overwhelmed by funeral costs, it's important to know you're not alone. It's normal to need help planning a funeral, and it's also normal to need help paying for one.
*Help from the big guys*
The first place to start looking for help with funeral expenses is from governmental agencies. Some state and government agencies have special programs to help survivors with the accumulation of expenses associated with the death of a loved one. For example:
Anyone receiving Social Security is entitled to a lump sum death payment of $255 to a surviving spouse or a child who is under 18.
Social Service may also contribute towards funeral expenses after reviewing available assets.
Finally, the Veterans Administration can be a valid resource for the dependents of a late veteran.
But if you've already looked into these programs and need additional help, creating a GiveForward page could be your answer. Consider starting a Memorial Fundraiser for a loved one who has just passed away.
*Help from the people who matter*
With a memorial fundraising page, you can easily raise large sums of money by sharing it with your extended social network online, and also provide friends and family members with a space to share kind words and memories.
Seeing words of encouragement during this difficult time can mean the world to a family mourning a loved one's passing. Watching donations flow in to get closer to reaching their fundraising goal can make a world of difference in that same family's efforts to make funeral arrangements.
By providing a platform for families to get help with funeral expenses and creating an online support system, memorial fundraising profiles allow a community to stay connected and find peace.
So don't be afraid to ask for help – you could find overwhelming support and encouragement to help you through these hard times and let you focus on healing
