Pokemon HeartGold Version
how do I catch kyogre and groudon or evn rayquaza?
Please help miZukawaMaster - 6 years ago
Additional Details:
and where do I find ithem miZukawaMaster - 6 years ago
Top Voted Answer
You catch them by lowering their HP to red zone, putting them to Sleep or other status condition, and throwing Ultra Balls until you get lucky. You should be familiar with all that by now.
As for finding them, they're found in a spot called the Embedded Tower, which is on Route 47. However, the entrance to the tower is hidden until you have either the Blue Orb (for Kyogre) or the Red Orb (for Groudon). Blue Orb & Kyogre are only available in HeartGold, and hence, Red Orb & Groudon are SoulSilver-only. You get your game's orb from Mr. Pokemon, after you've obtained the National Dex as well as a Kanto starter from Professor Oak. Both of these require beating the E4 and all 16 Gyms. Once you have your Orb, head to the Embedded Tower and the legendary will be there waiting for you.
Then, for Rayquaza, you need both of the other legendaries. The unfortunate part is that you can only get ONE of the them in your game - in your case, you can only get Kyogre. So you'd need a copy of SoulSilver, or a friend with it, to trade you a Groudon. It HAS to be a Groudon caught in Embedded Tower or it won't count. If you have both of them, and show them to Professor Oak, he'll give you the Jade Orb. Once you have the Jade Orb, you can go back to the Tower and Rayquaza will be waiting.

The majority of Americans who watch television take to their smartphones, tablets, and e-readers to maximize their productivity and entertainment while a show is on, a new study has found.
According to Nielsen, 42 percent of Americans who own tablets are using that device each day when watching television. On the smartphone side, 40 percent of folks turn on their handsets each day when watching a show. Just 14 percent of e-reader owners, however, use that device every day when they're watching a television show.
Given those figures, it might not be surprising to learn that just 12 percent of tablet owners and 13 percent of smartphone owners never use those devices when watching television. A whopping 45 percent of e-reader owners, however, never pick up that device when a show is on.MORE

I have been seeing a guy for 6 months. Initially he said that he wasn't looking for a relationship. Since then things have progressed. I have met his family and friends, he has met mine, we see each other 2-3 times a week. We make plans weeks in advance together however... I found out a few months ago he had slept with another woman. I broke things off and told him I just couldn't do the whole casual thing. Reality was less appealing than the concept. He has since apologised (about 500 times). Promised it will never happen again and told me he wants to be exclusive. He doesn't however call me his girlfriend and is not affectionate with me at all when we are in public although everyone knows we are together. Since he is becoming more "committed" should I give him more time or is it just a waste?

What is the major conflict in Frindle?
- print Print
- list Cite
The main conflict in the story is the conflict between Nick and Mrs. Granger. Nick is annoyed that Mrs. Granger gives too much homework, and Mrs. Granger is annoyed that Nick is being disruptive.
Fifth grader Nick realizes that he has reached the point when school has changed. In fifth grade, real letter grades are given and the focus is preparing for middle school. For the first time, Nick has homework. His English teacher, Mrs. Granger, gives a lot of it. When Nick tries to get Mrs. Granger off track by asking her how words are created, she asks him to do a report on the subject.
Nick researches how words are created—they are invented. He comes up with a plan to get back at Mrs. Granger by inventing his own word. He decides to call a pen a "frindle" and see where it goes. Mrs. Granger is annoyed because she thinks his behavior is disruptive. They both feud over the pen/frindle issue.
And Nick didn't try to sidetrack Mrs. G again. He had slowed her down a little, but had he stopped her? No way. (Ch 5, p. 32)
Mrs. Granger writes Nick a letter. Ten years later, he reads it when she sends it to him along with a dictionary. She apologizes for her reaction to the frindle incident, but explains why she did it.
But somehow I think I have a small part to play in this drama, and I have chosen to be the villain. Every good story needs a bad guy, don't you think? (ch 15, p. 99)
Mrs. Granger also includes a note explaining that she has all of her students buy this dictionary, and his word is in it! Nick is rich now. Mrs. Granger opens a package from him, a pen, with a note he wrote in fifth grade explaining that she is his favorite teacher.
The main problem in the story Frindle is that Mrs.Granger is against the word Frindle.

Last night was our coldest night so far this season, with temperatures dropping below zero F. Thank goodness for the wood stove, which keeps us warm and happy. This house was so cold without it, and I sometimes wonder how people lived here for 200 years and never thought to put one in. Ticker has been indoors the past few days, even during the day, because it is just so cold outside. Outdoor play for all of us isn't an option right now. Instead we happily pass our time by the fire.
When it gets cold like this, some chicken keepers put a heat light in the coop to warm the chickens. I don't do it because the chickens are capable of surviving temperatures this low, and also, I have learned the hard way that having the light on all night makes the chickens wacky the next morning! I did turn the light on once last year and it was a big mistake – all the chickens were fighting when I checked on them in the morning. After that experience, I don't leave a light on. I do make sure that all hens are on the roost at night, snuggled together for warmth. I secure the winter plastic wrap on the lower half of the run that keeps the harsh breezes out, and ensure the heater water bowl is plugged in and working. On days like today, when the air temperature is cold and the wind chill makes it even colder, the chickens huddle together in the protected run. They must get bored. I give them treats, but there's not a lot I can do to help them with entertainment.
Ticker's crop is still full, the size of the golf ball. She's not eating much, and it amazes me that her comb is still so red and perky, and quite frankly, I'm amazed she's still alive. Yesterday I fed her 3 ml of olive oil to get her crop and gizzard contents lubricated and moving along. Today I fed her another 3 ml of olive oil. I'm waiting to see what happens. 'A' and 'H' don't like seeing her bored in her crate, so they carry her around and talk to her. She's a very social chicken.
It looks like the freezing spell will let up. Our windows have been accumulating ice layers on the inside… I think it is from the heat of the wood stove. We can't even see out the front door anymore. Today: more research work for the girls, more herbal class for me, and more of hugging Ticker.

This week, we focused on fermentation. We discussed it's health benefits, and we made lots of recipes using it…including my first batch of kombucha. Kombucha is a fermented tea which contains probiotics. You start by preparing a tea. Mine was made with oolong tea and honey.
Next, you add the SCOBY and a little kombucha. The SCOBY is actually a mass of living organisms…a zooglea. It's like a culture of probiotics growing in your tea. You can kind of see mine floating in the tea here. Once you have your culture set up, you need to let it ferment for about two weeks. Then you can flavor it however you like. At this point, the SCOBY will have reproduced into a mother and a daughter SCOBY. These can be separted into two new batches of kombucha. I'll check back with you about that when the time comes…
We also made yogurt this week from coconut meat. We started out with a plain yogurt base which we allow to ferment in the dehydrator overnight. This is what it looks like when it comes out of the dehydrator.
Then, you can flavor it however you like. I made vanilla mango yogurt. I LOVED it.
We also made a couple different kinds of cheese. This is the initial formation of my cashew cheese which we made using probiotics.
We also made a cheese using miso as the fermenting agent. This one was much more herbalicious and used almonds for the base.
This was the fig compote we made to garnish our cheeses.
We also made a delicious lavendar honey.
Here is a picture of my cheese plate. The cashew cheese was garnished with a black pepper crust. The herbalicious cheese crumbles were garnished with the lavendar honey. The green cheese is a pumpkin nut cheese (which we actually borrowed from the RESTAURANT), and it was garnished with the fig compote.
Once we were all done making our cheese plates, we had a little cheese tasting party with a glass of white wine. I couldn't really drink mine, but it tasted wonderful. Ladan also invited Matthew Kenney to come check out our plates. I might be having cheese plate for breakfast. It was tasty, but I was already too full to eat it. That's the problem with culinary school. You've got to pace yourself. Though as far as problems go, it's not a bad one to have. 🙂
Ok. Well, I'm off to school…

CodePlexProject Hosting for Open Source Software
When I run simple
client = new
client.GenerateCompleted += client_GenerateCompleted;
client.GenerateAsync("Hello World"
In client_GenerateCompleted event I get error "The remote server returned an error: NotFound."
Do I have to get API key?
The "generate" method should work out of the box but requires internet connection. Please, check if internet connection is available on your Windows Phone emulator or device (hint: try to open a website in the browser).
Also if you are debugging on a device, try to connect using
wpconnect.exe instead of Zune (Zune works as a proxy)
Hint: client.GenerateAsync() method builds URL and makes GET request to the esponce.com server. URL can be manually checked in a web browser: http://www.esponce.com/api/v3/generate?content=Hello+World

In this short article I am going to show you how to achieve hibernation or standby of Windows programmatically.
The .NET 2.0 framework introduced the
Application.SetSuspendState() method, which allows you to either hibernate or else standby your pc.
This method accepts three parameters – the first parameter "state" is a
PowerState enumeration value of either Hibernate or Suspend.
The second parameter "force", is a
boolean value, which when set to true forces the hibernation or standby immediately, and when set to false causes Windows to send a suspend request to every application. It is advisable to use false for this parameter because this allows any running applications to stop gracefully instead of being forced to stop immediately by Windows.
The third parameter "disableWakeEvent" is also a
boolean value. It specifies whether a wake event, such as remote wake-up call over the network, will allow the pc to wake up from standby or hibernation. The value true does not allow the pc to wake up, while false does allow a wake up.
This is the definition of the
SetSuspendState() method:
public static bool SetSuspendState( PowerState state, bool force, bool disableWakeEvent )
Below is an example showing how to hibernate Windows. The hibernation is not forced and the pc will recover on wake events:
Application.SetSuspendState(PowerState.Hibernate, false, false);
This next example shows how to put Windows into standby mode. Standby is forced and wake events are ignored:
Application.SetSuspendState(PowerState.Suspend, true, true);
Remember that when testing this code your pc will hibernate or go into standby mode, so make sure to back up your work before testing.
Although I'm sure you do backup your work regularly… right? 🙂

FREE Traffic Source #5
This next free traffic source is called Page Rank Cafe. What I like about Page Rank Cafe is the fact that it's like a traffic exchange and viral traffic generator site combine!
Here's how it works… You simply need to surf 10 pages to post 1 link. Once you post that 1 link it is live 24 hours! When new people come to the site to post their ads…You ad will be eligible to be clicked for the entire 24 hours without you lifting a finger.
However the more people who post their ads, the less people will see your ad. So when you ad is no longer on the first page, you can simply surf 10 more pages and repost your ad so that it's near the top again.
I tested the site to see how many visitors it would deliver if I just posted several ads and then did not repost it to send it back to the front page and I received between 46 – 61 hits for the 4 links I posted.
I then tested 2 links that I would repost once they moved off the from page and received 116 visitors from,1 link and 109 from the other. That's from just reposting the ads once!
Now imagine what would happen if I reposted the ads every time they scrolled off the 1st page. Reposting my adds several times day could easily bring me 1000 visitors!

FYI (as I have come across) if fermentation is your thing:
Any quantity of leaves, in 120gm bunches
1⁄4 teaspoon sea salt per bunch
Ferment 7-10 days before refrigerating.
Or you can do that and blend up the leaves. You can also add garlic.
For a Thai edge:
Any quantity of Thai basil leaves, in 120gm bunches
2 cloves garlic per bunch
1 tablespoon grated galangal root (or grated
fresh ginger) per bunch
1⁄2 teaspoon fish sauce per bunch (thus the salt)
Now is the time to take the opportunity of what Sweet Basil you may have still growing in the garden. Unless you have a very lucky and have yours growing in a very warm spot it will start to go off. Here are 4 ways I tide myself over with Sweet Basil over Winter.
Sweet Basil - Preserved in Olive Oil - Tuck as many Basil leaves into a sterilized preserving jar as you can comfortably fit in, (an optional extra would be to add some Garlic Cloves and Herbs and Spices.) Pour the oil over the leaves, tapping the jar on a board (that you have put a tea towel onto) this will get rid of any excess air in jar. Then pour enough oil over the leaves to just overflowing. Screw on the lid firmly and wipe clean, label and store in fridge or very cool dark spot.
Sweet Basil – Olive Oil – To make Sweet Basil Olive Oil you will need Basil Leaves, Olive Oil, (optional Garlic Cloves or other Herbs and Spices), you will also need clean, dry sterilized bottles with clip lids. Work out how many bottles of Oil you want to make and that will be the amount of Oil you will need. You will need a Pyrex Jug or the like to do the first step. Put about ½ a cup of Basil Leaves to every 500mls of Oil in jug (with extras if using). Heat your Oil in a stainless steel pan but do not boil. Pour Oil over leaves (with plastic wrap over jug) place in a bright room and allow too steep for a couple of days. Strain into bottles and put a few clean dry leave in the bottles. Seal, Label and wait a couple of weeks before using.
Sweet Basil – Frozen – Place clean dry Basil Leaves single layer on baking trays you have lined with greaseproof paper. When frozen these may then be put into containers or crushed and used as you need to in Pasta, Soups, and Casseroles etc. Freeze dried Basil has much more flavour than store bought dried Basil. Label.
Sweet Basil - Pesto - This Pesto in made in a Blender
100gms Fresh Basil Leaves, ½ cup Olive Oil, 30gms Pinenuts, 2 Garlic Cloves Crushed, Salt, 60gms Parmesan Cheese
Put Basil, Olive Oil, Pinenuts, Garlic Cloves and Salt into Blender. Stop once or twice to scrape down sides. When well blended put into a bowl and stir grated cheese in by hand.
Put into Sterilized jars and pour a little Olive Oil over the top to stop oxidization. If using as a stir through for Pasta add ½ a cup of Pasta Water to Pesto. Enjoy!!!
Here's a recipe for a Garlic and Herb Seasoning Mix . If you don't have all the ingredients but have them growing in the garden you can pick them and grow them and then grind.
If you have to buy the Onion & Garlic Powder, it will pay to read the label to make sure it doesn't have MSG in it. I buy all my Spices from Herbie's Online so I know they are pure.
Garlic & Herb Seasoning Mix
2 tablespoons Marjoram
2 tablespoons Oregano
2 tablespoons Rosemary
2 tablespoons Basil
2 tablespoons Parsley Flakes
1 tablespoon Onion Powder
1 tablespoon Thyme
1 tablespoon Salt (Sea or Himalayan)
2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
1 teaspoon Black Pepper (ground the way you like it)
Combine all ingredients and seal in jar.
Yep I do. A small one.
Hi Lissa, Do you have a Mortar and Pestle to grind the spices.
Dry, Dianne.
The Lavender Oil Recipe I have added is a very easy one, there are others I make if giving presents where I heat the oil.
Lissa, do you want to make dry Spice blends or wet.
Dianne I love Lavender oil and I have a couple of plants growing so am very interested in your recipe. I only have a few herbs growing and mostly these are just the standards, rosemary, sage etc, I would like to grow more and learn how to use them rather than having to buy them.
I grow a few Lavenders and like to make infused oil - Lavender Oil. I will put the Recipe for this into the Discussion Forum - Infused Oils
I love herbs and spices in my cooking. But I have little experience in preparing my own. Bought some garlic and herb mix yesterday and dreadfully disappointed in the lack of flavour.

An Annuity Can Be a Safe, Smart Choice for Wealth Protection…
If You Know What to Look Out For.
Baby boomers nearing retirement, having seen huge chunks of their life savings drained away during the current recession, have driven annuity sales to all time highs in their bid to find safe havens for their wealth.
Annuities are also becoming more popular with younger people, especially those who have inherited money and seek tax benefits or wish to avoid putting money in the stock market or otherwise expose their money to risk.
These younger "pre-retirees" also share a concern with their Boomer counterparts: the well-founded fear of outliving their money.
A recent survey done by Boston Research Group found that the majority of respondents admitted to having a gaping hole in their financial plans, namely the lack of an income stream in retirement.
As pensions disappear, along with wristwatches and payphones, there is a real possibility that most people will lack income streams to support themselves in the latter phases of their lives.
Using a variety of structured payouts, annuities have a unique advantage over other financial vehicles, creating a safe, steady source of income that you can't outlive.
Coupled with a properly designed Bank on Yourself® policy or policies, annuities can give you a sense of reassurance about your financial future.
What are annuities exactly and how do they work?
Simply defined, an annuity is an insurance product designed to pay out income over a period of time.
Typically, you agree to make a series of payments or one lump sum payment to an annuity issuer.
In consideration for those payments, the company agrees to make periodic payments to you for a definite time period or an indefinite period (until death) in one of two ways:
Deferred annuities allow you to pay either monthly installments or lump sum payments This account grows on a tax-deferred basis until you start receiving payments at a later date. While the tax deferred status of these annuities is often touted as a desirable benefit, there are potentially adverse tax consequences later on of which you need to be aware.
In contrast, an immediate annuity begins paying benefits the same year as when you deposit your money. Payment amounts vary based on factors such as age, gender, and total amount invested.
What are the types of annuities and which one is best?
Some companies like to market annuity products which feature various whistles, bells, and options designed to convince consumers to choose that company's offerings over those of another
Some of these options are designed to address certain inherent issues while others are simply marketing devices which add to the perception of value, but do little to truly improve the product. It's important to understand the features of any annuity at which you are looking and determine whether or not that feature is a true improvement.
Customization aside, there are essentially three types of annuities:
Variable annuities allow the buyer to choose how their account is invested from a variety of options, including mutual funds. This type of annuity's rate of return is by necessity tied to the performance of the investment options a person selects, as well as the amount of deposits made.
Some people choose this kind of annuity because of its' supposedly greater growth potential. However, you could wind up with a lot smaller payments should the stock market falter. Variable annuities carry with them the additional burden of not being able to forecast with any degree of certainty how much money you will get when the time comes to receive payments.
With a fixed annuity, the annuity company contracts with the purchaser to pay no less than an agreed-upon interest rate while the account is growing; and the purchaser agrees to make periodic payments of specified amounts.
Indexed annuities provide investment returns based on fluctuations in a particular index, such as the S&P 500. Unlike variable annuities, indexed annuity contracts stipulate a minimum contract value, regardless of the performance of the index. These are often referred to as "guarantees."
The type of annuity I prefer to work with is an indexed annuity customized with guaranteed income riders. This product addresses concerns about both the erosion of wealth due to inflation and the need for predictable, guaranteed income in retirement.
Fees and expenses
Just like other types of financial options, annuities have fees associated with them.
While most of these fees and commissions are legitimate, it is worthwhile to train yourself to look carefully at them to determine the impact to your future wealth.
Arguably, the fee to which you should pay the most attention and which has the most potential to damage your net worth is the surrender charge. A surrender charge is the annuity company's version of an early withdrawal penalty.
Since you never know when some unexpected life challenge will require you to access your money, it is vital that you know EXACTLY how much the surrender charge will be and how long the surrender period is.
Commissions are another factor when assessing the true cost of your annuity. Sales people are sometimes given commissions as high as 10 percent for the initial investment, plus they receive ongoing commissions as the account is growing.
Depending on the type of annuity, you could also be charged an annual fee or fees. These fees could add as much as an additional 2% a year to the cost of your annuity.
When comparing annuities, be sure to take a cold, hard look at the associated fees and have a financial professional do some serious number-crunching for you.
When I counsel my clients about their annuity purchase, I break down the various expenses so that they have a good understanding of exactly how much their annuity is costing them. Insist on the financial professional you work with doing the same.
Other things of which you should be aware
- Always check out the issuing company for stability and claims-paying ability. At Living Wealthy Financial we contract only with top rated carriers who have a history of financial stability.
- Before doing changing from one annuity to another, be sure to do a thorough analysis of surrender charges (if applicable), sales commissions, fees, and potential tax liability. If you are considering changing annuities, we will be happy to offer you a no obligation consultation to help you make the right decisions.
- If you are using an annuity as a way to create an inheritance for a beneficiary, be sure to consult with a financial professional to find the best kind of annuity for that purpose
In conclusion, I'd like to say that Living Wealthy Financial Group believes an annuity properly designed and implemented by one of our financial professionals, is a great way to diversify your portfolio and create a steady stream of money that you won't outlive.
While passing through this lifetime one may have the good fortune to meet and know an extraordinary person. That happened to me a number of years ago when I met Teresa Kuhn! She is a delightful person, full of essential knowledge, wisdom, sound values and professional expertise. What a joy it has been for me to work with such a lovely lady for these many years. She gives me hope for the future! I highly recommend her services and advice to all. She can change your financial life dramatically!

Is this what THE HANGOVER 2 could've/should've been?
HORRIBLE BOSSES is on a laugh out loud level! Let's just say that if your boss is a slave driving, incompetent, crazy psycho HORRIBLE BOSSES is your kinda movie.
Even if your boss is sane, caring and warm, you may appreciate this raunch-filled comedy even more!
Best buddies Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day are tortured almost daily in their respective workplaces. And the only thing that would make their daily grind more bearable would be to rid themselves from their tyrant employers for good—grind those intolerable S.O.B.'s into dust.
There's slave-driving Kevin Spacey who's all but promised Bateman a major promotion with executive VP stripes attached—only to pull it out from under him.
Sudeikis doesn't fare much better. He loves his boss Donald Sutherland who has promised Sudeikis he will one day take over for him. But when the boss suddenly dies of a massive heart attack, Sudeikis loses out to Sutherland's completely incapable cokehead son and nemesis Colin Ferrell.
And then there's dental hygienist Charlie Day. Poor guy bears a heavy burden. He's got to put up with his foul-mouthed boss—dentist Jennifer Aniston's—almost daily sexual advances which usually begin as soon as the patients are put to sleep in the chair.
Reversed sexual harassment that now threatens to sabotage his relationship with his fiance.
Quitting for our three heroes is out of the question. But how about a foolproof plan to rid themselves of their employers permanently? That's when they find an executioner of sorts online….under some weird men-for-men listing no less. So far.So good.
When they finally meet the guy they find what he provides instead are golden showers for his clients.
Forget that one!
That's when the boys track down hustling ex-con Jamie Foxx to implement the dirty deeds—only to find out after paying him big bucks that he will only act as advisor. So it's all up to them!
What stands out though in this movie is Jennifer Aniston!
I guarantee you've NEVER seen her like this before. Raunchy, sexy, foul-mouthed and completely over the top.
After practically every one of her explicit outbursts I kept asking myself: "Did she REALLY just say that?"
Make no mistake, HORRIBLE BOSSES takes it to the R-rated limit!
Our full house, screening audience at AMC 30 in Olathe loved it. And there are plenty of scenes when you will hate yourself for laughing. But you will laugh!
Think of this 1 hour and 43minute long comedy as the flip-side of BRIDESMAIDS.
HORRIBLE BOSSES gives you the finger……. 3-1/2 out of 5 fingers to be specific.

Thanks for answering/reading my question. :)

- list Cite
This is a tough question. I do not see an immediate use of a nice formula to get the answer, but I can show you some of the steps I took:
(1) Find the first few values of the function. We hope to find some pattern, or better a closed form analytic function:
f(1)=2 is given.
For f(2) we have f(1)+f(2)=4f(2) or 2=3f(2) ==> f(2)=2/3.
f(3): 2+2/3+f(3)=9f(3) ==> 8/3=8f(3) ==> f(3)=1/3.
f(4): 2+2/3+1/3+f(4)=16f(4) ==> 3=15f(4)==> f(4)=1/5
f(5):16/5+f(5)=24f(5)==> f(5)=2/15
f(6): 10/3+f(6)=35f(6)==> f(6)=2/21
f(7): 24/7+f(7)=48f(7) ==> f(7)=1/14
So we have the sequence 2,2/3,1/3,1/5,2/15,2/21,1/14,... as the values of f(n)
(2) I tried a lot of different things before I hit on the answer. You might consider trying to write f(n) in terms of f(n-1) -- it turns out to be relatively simple but unuseful as we have to know f(999) in order to compute f(1000); this is the problem with recursive definitions.
(3) Look at the sequence again -- this time in terms of the first term 2:
Do you see the pattern? Consider the denominators.
1,3,6,10,15,21,28,... is the first few terms of the triangular numbers. The triangular numbers are formed by:
etc... This looks like the formulation for our function. I haven't tried to prove the connection, but it works for the next several terms so it is likely that it works.
The nice thing is that there is a closed form formula for the nth triangular number -- `T(n)=(n(n+1))/2` **See link**
(4) So `f(1000)=2*1/((1000*1001)/2)=1/250250`
Thus the exact value for f(1000) is `1/250250`

Discussion in 'Wii - Hacking' started by South Cape, Jun 27, 2010.
Has anyone devised a way to make a Gamecube Controller usable on the Wii Menu yet?
No, but it would be perfect for me who just lost my sensor bar.
If you have a Classic Controller [regular or pro], you can use that to navigate instead.
With a Guitar from guitar hero you can also navigate on system menu (with the analog)
light two candles 10-12 inches apart and play in candle light
or light bulbs. AWW CHRISTMAS LIGHTS!!
As long as they generate heat - those newfangled ones won't cut it, and neither will lava lamps in Wisconsin starting....a year ago I think.
it is possible...but extremely tedious!

Chile approves the first salmon compartment free of ISA, in accordance with OIE recommendations
Information submitted by Marcela Lara F. Head of Animal Health Department, Alicia Gallardo L. Aquaculture Subdirector, José Miguel Burgos, National Director, National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service (SERNAPESCA), Chile.
The first health salmon compartment was approved under the framework of the health management model implemented in salmon production in Chile by the official Veterinarian Service (National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service, SERNAPESCA). The compartment is comprised by an Atlantic Salmon broodstock fish farm located in the Araucanía Region, declared free from the Infectious Salmon Anemia virus (ISA), HPR0 and deleted HPR, as established in the OIE aquatic animal code (Chapter 10.4). The compartment also includes the preventive reinforcement of exotic diseases in Chile, such as: Viral Haemorrhagic Septicaemia, Infectious Haematopoietic Necrosis, Infection by Totivirus and Epizootic Haematopoietic Necrosis.
The validation process involved the joint work between the public and private sectors and considered various phases, starting with the presentation and development of a biosecurity plan by the Company, in which the potential pathways for introduction and spread of ISA were identified in the compartment and describing the mitigation actions. The farm was subject to a thorough documentary evaluation to review biosecurity procedures, health surveillance, diagnosis capacity, traceability and contingency plans. The process ended with official inspections in situ to ensure that the fish farm maintains a sub-population of fish free from ISA, and other diseases considered in the compartment.
Considering the relevance of these health and trade aspects related to aquatic species, Sernapesca has made available the information that companies require to obtain this certification in its website.
This new standard ratifies the appropriate control and health prevention that Chile has applied in domestic salmon farming, considering the recommendations set forth in the OIE code and animal health manual. This effort is reflected in the production recovery levels following the ISA virus crisis of 2007. Today salmon production reached 955 thousand harvested tons in 2014, positioning Chile as the second Atlantic Salmon producer, and the first Trout producer in the world, maintaining an economic activity that is vital for the country.
The health management model covers the complete production cycle, from pre-border risk analysis and post-border controls with strict biosecurity standards, epidemiological surveillance, disease control and veterinarian inspections in salmon processing plants. As a result, Chile presently has high health standards in salmon farming.
The comprehensive health management across the salmon production chain ensures the safety of products exported to various markets such as the European Union, Japan, Euroasian Economic Union, Brazil and the United States, among others. Safety controls comprise robust prevention plans and chemical residue analysis performed by official inspectors on a routine basis, across the entire salmon production and processing chain.
Committed to continuous improvement, Sernapesca recently developed a program to strengthen the controls over the use of antimicrobial products on the basis of OIE recommendations on the responsible and prudent use of antimicrobials (Program in Spanish on line), and made available a Manual of good practices in the use of antimicrobials and antiparasitic treatments in Chilean salmon farming (Download the Manual).
The above health related actions are part of a comprehensive aquaculture strategic program developed by Chile to ensure that salmon farming continues to support the growing global demand for safe and healthy food.
Salmon is an important source of protein for human consumption, possessing healthy properties such as low calorie contents and high levels of fatty acids, Omega 3 (DHA and EPA) and Omega 6. The consumption of both acids has important health benefits for the entire population and all ages.

Current Version: 1.0
This is a "multi ROM". It will automatically detect your phone model and install the appropriate files.
Supported models:
* i_atnt (P930, NitroHD)
* i_vzw (VS920, Spectrum)
Phone model is detected using the SoC build id. If the install fails, send me the contents of your /sys/devices/system/soc/soc0/build_id and I'll add support.
i_skt and i_lgu support is in progress.
Install instructions
* Install the latest recovery. As of this writing, it is CWMT 22.214.171.124. See other threads in this section for how to obtain and install it.
* Download the ROM, verify the md5sum, and put it on the root of your sdcard.
* Download JB 4.1 (not 4.2) gapps from goo.im, verify the md5sum, and put it on the root of your sdcard.
* Power off your phone.
* Hold volume-down and power until you see the scary warning screen.
* Confirm by tapping the power button twice.
* Make a backup of your current system (use the tar method!)
* Do a full wipe / factory reset.
* Install the ROM.
* Install gapps.
* Reboot.
When and why do I need to do a full wipe?
Always do a full wipe when coming from a stock ROM or a ROM based on stock.
A full wipe is not necessary when coming from any version of CM, AOKP, or any other non-stock ROM.
Failure to wipe may cause system apps to misbehave (FC). The usual candidates for misbehaving include the clock, the launcher, and contacts storage. It will not damage or corrupt your phone.
This ROM contains a script that will automatically wipe data for system apps when upgrading to a different vendor (CM or AOKP) or a different Android base version (4.1, 4.2). So, for example:
* When upgrading from CM10 RC5 to CM10 1.0, no data will be wiped because the vendor (CM) and version (4.1) match.
* When upgrading from CM10 1.0 to AOKP41 1.0, system data will be wiped because the vendor does not match.
The script will never touch data for user installed apps.

Black and white photos from 1892 show the creations of Dr. Gustav Zander, the man who invented the bodybuilding machine. These photos are currently in Stockholm at the National Museum of Science and Technology.
Dr. Zander, a physician and orthopedic surgeon from Sweden, who understand the connection between effort and overall health. He believed that the muscles had to be built up gradually over time, so he started working on the machines, which would imitate a system and method of movements that people have used for centuries.
Inventions were aimed at more affluent members of society that allowed people like entrepreneurs to separate experiences from practice from what would otherwise be seen as work. In the early 20th century Dr. Zander´s machines were spread across the whole United States.
But in the early 70s Arthur Jones created a machine known as Nautilus that have become very popular and left "relaxation" Dr. Zander´s machines as the forerunner of todays "sweat-inducing" fitness machines.

As a big part of this organization, I just want to take this time to let everyone who makes a difference in the lives of our homeless keiki...we appreciate YOU! Without all our volunteers and donors, we would not be able to provide support to the thousands of children we provide services to.
It is because of you, our homeless keiki are growing healthy and happy, escaping their cycle of poverty. May all of you continue to be part of our organization for years to come.
Aloha Everyone! Thanks for making our organization so great! Without all our support from our dedicated volunteers we would not be able to provide such great opportunities for our keiki to gain the self-esteem and life skills they need to succeed! Without our donors, well, we'd not be here at all. Your support is life changing for these precious children. Since we rely solely on public donations, your support is THE Difference we need to succeed. Thanks to all for helping us to once again be nominated for another award! Our keiki are the winners with all of YOU supporting them. As the director of Project Hawai'i, Inc., I want to wish all of you and your families a wonderful holiday season. Thank you for keeping us in your hearts and minds through these hectic times. As you all know the keiki rely on US, and we rely on YOU. Mahalo Nui Loa with Aloha from Cliff and Magin!! xoxo
Aloha, As a board member of Project Hawai'i, Inc., I am proud to nominate and write my review for this outstanding opportunity. I have been on the board for 2 years, and volunteer for several years before. I would say that this program is truly unique. With all the changes over the years, this program is still able to provide wonderful services to the children and offer great volunteer opportunities for the community to be involved. Furthermore, I will say that during the hard financial times, this program doesn't take from the children's programs. We just try harder, and try to find new sponsors to get the funds we need. I would invite anyone to take a look at this program and get involved where you can. The public truly makes the difference in the lives of the homeless children through Project Hawai'i, Inc.

Operating Nurse
Due to the nature of an operating nurse's job, I couldn't be in the operating room, but still was lucky to get a glimpse of what a nurse does. I spent time with Carol outside of the operating room and saw pictures of the equipment inside the room.
Carol starts work at 7:15 a.m. and finds out what type of surgery she will be helping with that morning. Her days vary as she could be in ENT surgery one day and ophthalmology or anything else another day. After finding out her assignment, she meets with the surgeon, the anesthetist, and the other nurses to complete a checklist and go over what is going on. Even at this point Carol might be switched to a different surgery so she always has to be on her toes. She has been switched five times in one day to different types of surgeries and most switches are due to cancellations and emergencies.
Before surgery begins, Carol has to conduct a pre-surgery interview with the patient and help prepare the room, which includes counting the surgical instruments. I saw a list of instruments and was blown away by the amount of them—that is a lot of counting. She also has to prepare the narcotics, which are stored in a fingerprint-secured dispensing machine (awesome). During surgery she helps out, checks vital signs, and acts as a line of communication between the doctor and the parents. Carol's day sounds like a very busy day, with a lot of time spent on her feet, and she says it goes by quickly because you are always moving. In fact, a lot of operating nurses don't even have time to go to the washroom.
Nursing is an incredibly rewarding job, but also has its challenges. There is a lot of equipment and instruments to be familiar with, which must be tough to learn. Also, you are working with a team every day so you have to learn how to get along with people you may not see eye to eye with. Finally, all the hospital records are becoming digital, which can be frustrating for older nurses
A Typical Day
Since Carol is an operating nurse, she starts her day meeting with her staff and then can be in a surgery all day
Top 3 Perks
1) Helping people is rewarding
2) Always learning and never a boring day
3) A profession you can do anywhere (some of the nurses at Carol's hospital travel to developing countries often)
Job Culture
Counting instruments, standing for long periods of time, hauling equipment around a hospital, maintaining charts and records, performing physical exams, preparing drugs, always being alert.
1) Complete a 4-year undergraduate nursing program—When Carol became a nurse it only took her 2 years but now it takes 4
Skills Needed
Ability to handle stress and hectic situations calmly, able to calm people down, communication, decisive, physically fit.
The Field
- Educational requirements are changing because our knowledge of health care is increasing.
- Nurses are in high demand but technology can replace a lot of their jobs.

Disillusioned. That would probably be the best word to describe my state.
What we are realizing in the aftermath of this election is that perhaps we aren't as close to our friends and neighbors as we once believed, and technology has done just as much to separate us as it has to bring us together. Apparently, we are all traveling inside of like-minded, happy place bubbles and completely unaware of the world around us. This includes avoiding other people's perspectives, news from a wide variety of sources, and current events taking place in nations far from home.
This realization occured to me a while back when a young colleague of mine asked about a piece of celebrity gossip she had read online (ahhhh simpler times.) I took her under my wing, assured her the news was false, and taught her how to accurately find out whether a piece of news is real or fake. If my memory serves me, she had scooped the gossip from a Facebook share, and I told her that in order to get to the bottom of a story, you have to look in a few different places. My lesson in a nutshell: always Google a headline and look under the "News" tab in the Google results. If you don't see actual articles written by journalists of some kind at the top of the news results, it's fake or at least unconfirmed. Also, if the sources aren't from trusted celebrity gossip resources such as People or TMZ (shocker, but they're really on top of things,) then it's also not a confirmed piece of gossip. Anyone can have a blog (hi,) preach whatever they want, call it fact, and then start spreading it around the internet. She truly had no idea. (Hi Pepper, love you.) It showed me just how easy it is to con a smart young person into thinking a piece of information is news, when it's actually a completely fabricated story. Turns out, it's even more prevalent in "real world" non-news.
I've been reading a lot about news sources including the rise of Facebook "fake news." Fake news is created in two ways- either written by a person with a strong opinion about an issue that goes viral, or by outlets purposely and maliciously creating false content with the intention of targeting gullible participants. While my friend was one of the young people taken by this phenomenon, older people may be an easier target. It's not to say that older internet users aren't smart, it's that they are quicker to believe something they see in print because they come from a generation where print news was trusted, no matter what. They grew up with Walter Cronkite. Journalism was respected and undsiputed.
Now that there is so much information so readily available to anyone in the entire world that can be shared with the click of a mouse, it's not surprising that misinformation gets around, and quickly. It's spread by people with similar viewpoints, whether it's the viewpoint of a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or someone who thinks Britney Spears faked her 2007 breakdown. When the misinformation is shared within the social media bubble of a group of people who share the same viewpoint, it takes on a life of its own and suddenly, Morgan Freeman has died for the 6th time. There's now plenty of discussion as to whether or not misinformation influenced the 2016 election.
All of this got me thinking about my own news consumption. I get most of my news online, and now that I'm often home with baby, I'm also returning to network news and cable sources. I actively seek unbiased and fact-based delivery, which is why I enjoy listening to NPR, for instance. I also admittedly tend to choose a more liberal bubble. I loved my nightly hit of Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert back in the day and I've been known to watch a little Bill Maher from time to time. Of course, I'm going to be labeled a left wing freak by some people, and that's fine with me (#unaffiliated.) I like to think of myself as fair and balanced (lol Fox News,) but yes, my beliefs are definitely more progressive than not. I consider it "common sense." But that's just me.
Anyways, in the past I've alway made a point to NOT eliminate people from my social media circles just because they have a different viewpoint. I think it's pretty important to be able to discuss and keep an open mind about things even if you don't agree. However, this election cycle became so vicious and so hateful, I found myself hitting "Unfollow" on a daily basis. There are family members I unfollowed a year ago, and they don't even know it. Little by little, I created a more comfortable social media bubble to exist in, and I think many others did the same. Soon, what I saw in my bubble was only information I was comfortable with- though I do pride myself in finding out whether an article is real or fake. I think that's something most people don't take the time to do. If they like what it says, they believe it, spread it around, and get REAL MAD. That folks is why we are living with our current situation. We all shut down, got comfortable, and proceeded to get very angry inside of our unchallenged bubbles. If we continue on this way, we will only deepen the divide among us, and who knows what will follow.
I followed Fox News on Twitter yesterday. Also, the president-elect. It pained me, but I felt a need to investigate what the other side is saying, how they are saying it, and what I need to be prepared for. Sure, I have many comments about the difference in tone and presentation between the Fox News website and another more centrist option like Reuters or Associated Press, but I encourage you to come to your own conclusions. How is the same piece of news treated on two or three different websites? Is it even featured on one versus another? How are the headlines different? What is the focus and is it more about grabbing attention or reporting facts? It's quite the interesting exercise. Be brave and try it sometime.
As we move forward, I think it is our civic duty to work just a little harder to seek out facts, whether they fit our personal viewpoint or not. If we continue to turn away from what we're uncomfortable with, we are are setting ourselves up for civil war.

Sometimes, from the very beginning of a workshop, it is evident that the delegates have a common problem with a big powerful stakeholder. As we start to delve into their influencing objectives, "his" name keeps being mentioned.
On a recent occasion when this happened, I noticed was that his name was being used as a code for "don't even try to influence." It was also apparent that there was a great deal of bad feeling in the room towards this character.
Who is this guy? Why is he such a problem for everyone in the room? What gives him the right to make honest, hard-working people miserable?
What I realized was that something needed to be done to help this group of individuals to perform better, unblock their projects and speed up their delivery. So, I took them through a process that helped them to think through what was happening, objectively (I call it my Stakeholder Breakthrough Process), and make some clear decisions about what they were going to do.
If you are in a situation where you are up against a tough, unreasonable or even hostile stakeholder, here are five things you can do right now, taken from my process, to help you to start moving forward:
1. Recognize your emotional reaction. Everyone has emotions, even project managers! To deny this is to miss an opportunity to shift negative feelings into a more positive zone. So, notice what is happening inside you, recognize that it is okay to feel that way, and notice that you need to calm them down so you can think clearly.
2. Take some time out. It is extremely difficult to unblock a stalled stakeholder relationship while you are in the throws of a meeting or disagreement. As you realize what is happening, find a way to extricate yourself from the heat of battle, settle your emotions and then do some clear (objective) analysis.
3. Consider many angles and perspectives. Imagine sitting in your stakeholder's seat. What does the world look like to them? Or maybe, a third party – how would they view the situation? This helps to avoid becoming increasingly trapped by your assumptions. It can also give you access to some amazing ideas that could lead to a solution – that's why I call the full version the Breakthrough Process.
4. Settle on a clear goal. Wishing and hoping things will be better is unlikely to offer any serious progress. So, based on your clear thinking, exactly what do you want to change? The more quantifiable the better. If you want to gain agreement or support, exactly what does that look like? How will you know, beyond any shadow of a doubt, that you have what you need?
5. Make a clear commitment. Especially in the most extreme cases, you have to make a very personal commitment to doing whatever it takes to swing things around. Locking horns with a tough stakeholder isn't for the feint-hearted, however once the decision is make, the thinking done, you may be very surprised just how easy it can be.
If this is starting to sound like defining deliverables and requirements, yes it is. As a project manger, this is about redeploying many of your existing skills to a new purpose, i.e. winning the support and collaboration of your stakeholders. The more difficult they are, the more you need process to help you win them over.
So, what happened to the group I mentioned above? Six months later one had gained sign-off for a new $62m office building; another increased funding of $2.5m for a beleaguered project and perhaps more importantly, many of the group reported having an excellent working relationship with this lovely stakeholder.
Not a bad morning's work! All it took was a simple process and the application of alternative perspectives.

It's been clear to me for years the young comics you promote at your local club will end up hating your guts.
Not always, but usually.
We started doing comedy at Stanford's in 1980. Stanfords in Westport opened in 1975, but my brother Jeff and I didn't start doing comedy until later. David Naster came to us with an idea of doing it on a regular basis. I'd been to LA and at the Comedy Store. Originally I thought my father Stan and I would perform as well.
So we started it on Sunday nights in our waiting area bar called THE TREE HOUSE.
Then we added an open mic night on Mondays to find new young and local comics. We did too. From Kansas City's Sinbad to Louie Anderson. Later even Lewis Black and tons more. Why? They had nowhere else to play. There were few clubs back then and those who had them, mostly LA, New York and Chicago, wanted name stars like Jimmie Walker to headline. Not unknowns. It's hard to get a crowd to come see someone they never heard of before.
As time marched on we established a brand nationally, so we could use many of our local guys to headline, feature or open shows. One out of maybe 50 became pros and one out of a thousand became stars, got a TV show or movie work. Like Eddie Griffin, a waiter/busboy that started at Stanford's. HOWEVER, Eddie moved to LA where he got his big break, not here.
In those days, back in the 80's, we had scouts come to the club from TV shows like Star Search, who found Sinbad and Naster. Later even The Tonight Show and big agencies like William Morris. Those days are gone. The comics now have to move to LA at some point, maybe New York. Those are the feeder cities. Hollywood is lazy and never wants to travel.
I had to call every agent I knew out there to get ONE to come see Dan Whitney. You know him as Larry The Cable Guy. My current agent Matt Blake came, Larry did a show in LA and the rest is history.
Like many of the guys who went on to big careers, they soon forget you for the most part.
They don't want to be reminded of "how it all began." And they only want to do theaters or TV/film, not a comedy club. They feel that's a step down. Even if it's a rare appearance.
But not everyone.
This weekend we have Tommy Chong from Cheech and Chong. He's a good pal and is doing this as a favor. Lewis Black did our opening at Legends in 2007 for a fraction of his going rate. Neither of these guys do clubs now. Recently we had Carlos Mencia. That's what sets us apart. We have long term relationships with big name people. Even then, it's tough to get them in because there's not much in it for them.
So I understand why our local guys kinda end up not liking me much.
I CAN'T make them stars. They have to start here and leave the nest. It's not easy to move to LA or New York, when you don't know anybody and have no money. Sure, I'll call agents for them, send tapes or email them clips.
I did that for my pal Steve Kramer, who got a TV series in 2000 called Hype on the WB . But that's rare. Just getting an agent is very hard now, one that matters.
There are more comics out there now than ever. More TV shows than ever, due to Reality TV and 800 channels. Yes. we still do open mic night and it's a big draw. I use the top guys from that for MC work and later feature work. In some rare occasions even a headline night or two.
But in the end, they have to go create their own careers outside of KC.
Let's face it, this is not a city on the radar of Hollywood much. So getting lots of laughs here when you are unknown is just a way to tell the comic, it's ttime to spread your wings and fly to LA. It takes years to make it, an average of 8 to just be a name headliner.
Money is just OK then at $1,000 to $2,000 a week, but you are traveling all over hell and back every week. If you can get the work. It takes a national anchor to make the big money. Jim Jeffries did it recently with two HBO specials, but Jim still needs movies or TV to hit a long homer.
So in the end, the guys you help the most, dislike you the most because they call for work and don't understand why you have booked, say, Mo Mandel instead of them. "Hey we know each other, Glazer."
And we do. But it's a business and times are much different now.
The local media does not like putting on unknowns. I have done that with guys like Chris Porter, who immediately turned on us. People look out for their own ass, not yours.
Dig this, I have advanced and loaned (almost never get it back) over $100,000 to comics over the years.
Usually because they're broke. The local guys. Then the second you can't help them, you're an asshole who never paid enough, drives an expensive car, lives better than they do and on and on. You're a real jerk.
Hey we are the ones who gave them shot, after shot, after shot. This is how it is everywhere, not just in KC. The club owners in the end are the bad guys because we "can't make you famous" only you can do that for YOU.
I noticed many of our past comics comment and many to the negative. Many have stories of not getting paid enough or not getting enough work and so on. All that said, why do they want to still work for us? Stanford's is a top, top name in this business. And maybe, just maybe, No 1 overall.
We enjoy finding new talent. We just can't make everyone a star. I wish we could.
