A few months ago, a colleague invited me to dinner at Newport Beach's Tamarind of London, which he considered probably the best Indian restaurant in Southern California, a full-fledged satellite of a Mayfair restaurant that had been among the first kitchens ever to win a Michelin star for its Indian cuisine. I had been to the London original about a decade ago, and while I had been more impressed by the clubby plushness of Cinnamon and the direct, vibrant flavors at Rasa and the late Kastoori, I was impressed by the Mayfair Tamarind and its frank attempt to produce Indian food with the sheen and polish of white-tablecloth European cuisine. Its specialties included glossy takes on curry house classics and an especially nice version of the rice casserole biryani roasted under a pastry dome, but what I remember chiefly was the wine list, the flowers and the cost.
I was not particularly surprised by the opulence of the Orange County Tamarind, which is in a fairly posh strip mall in Crystal Cove — not by its parking lot's close resemblance to a Mercedes showroom, by the picture windows onto the tandoori cooks or by the feeling that the rest of the customers had drifted in after a pleasant round of golf.

Wouldn't mock the Bible if I were you!
Feb 9, 2008
I, like "Church Lady" do believe that the Bible calls homosexuality a sin and sex before marriage a sin. The fact you have brought forth many examples, mainly out of the Old Testament and meant for that time, does not mean it is ok for you to purposely sin against God.
And yes, Jesus is very reasonable and yes Jesus does not want, but commands you to stay away from homosexuality and sex before marriage. This was not a suggestion but a command that if not followed will lead to doom no matter how many times you mock the Bible.
"Church Lady" is correct and one day you will wish you had given her Bible-beased thoughts more consideration. I promise you she is trying to lead you from a path of destruction.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Let me get this straight. So all those ridiculous rules and various "abominations" that I quoted from the Bible were "mainly out of the Old Testament and meant for that time," but the equally ludicrous claim that homosexuality is an abomination also drawn from the Old Testament is somehow still relevant??? Hmm . . . is it just me or is your logic more than a bit whacko???
Sorry sweetie, you'll have to take your nonsense and negativism elsewhere. It holds no power here. And by they way Miss Holier-Than-Thou, what are you doing lurking here on the sex channel anyway???
Dr. Bob
Church Lady got you on this one! (CHURCH LADY AND HER BIBLE RULES) Feb 8, 2008
You have listed a large number of things you have done that you count as good. What you have not done is profess a belief in Jesus Christ for your salvation (at least not in your response). Also, if you have put your faith in Jesus Christ to save you then you must also do his will which is to follow the Bible which clearly calls homosexuality a sin.
You are obviously confusing your will with the will of God. You obviously have someone you love very much and cannot see yourself without him. But to confuse that with God's will is still sin no matter how long you have been together. Your works will not get you into heaven but will be judged for reward once you are there.
I don't expect my words to immediately influence you but may plant a seed that will develop later. Until then please take care.
Response from Dr. Frascino
Hello Churchy-Guy,
Yikes! You think Church Lady "got me" on her rant??? (See below.) Respectfully I would have to disagree. So God's will is I should abandon the love of my life and a 14-year union and I should wait until marriage to have sex??? Hmm . . . . I don't think Jesus, who seems like a pretty reasonable guy to me, would agree. Besides, since gays can't get married, due to rightwing wing-nuts like you, that would mean I would never ever have sex again??? Hmm . . . I'm Italian, so that's impossible, OK? So you are apparently a Bible literalist? Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. You believe that all gay people should heed Leviticus 18:22 which clearly states homosexuality is an abomination. End of debate. OK , that being the case could you also explain some of the other specific laws in the bible and how to follow them? For example:
When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord - Lev.1:9. The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?
My buddy would like to sell his daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?
I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness - Lev.15:19- 24. The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.
Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?
I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?
A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an abomination - Lev. 11:10, it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?
Lev. 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?
Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev. 19:27. How should they die?
I know from Lev. 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?
My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev. 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? - Lev.24:10-16. Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)
I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help. Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.
I do hope you'll be able to help me with those problems, just as your reading my forum has hopefully helped you with your pent-up sexual frustrations. In the meantime, I will not be working to get into your twisted version of heaven, but rather continue to help others here on earth. And to use your quotes, "I don't expect my words to immediately influence you but may plant a seed that will develop later. Until then please take care."

Enlightened ???
Feb 6, 2008
The "Obama-Hillary" debate from a couple of nights ago was finally civil due to the fact they were told by the Democratic Party that their childish ramblings in past debates were driving undecided voters to McCain. Please don't give these two too much credit or I will really think you don't understand politics.
As for being enlightened, if you call living your life in a gay relationship being enlightened then you my friend are the one that needs enlightened. You obviously don't think homosexuality is a sin and have confessed that you believe in evolution even though the bible is very clear on both. This means you are either a christian living out of the will of God or a non-christian. I am not sure which you are but either way you truly need to be enlightened.
By the way, God wins in the end so you can defend your position on gays and evolution if you would like but I would rather take God's side.
What you call being positive about sex I call promotion of sexual impurity. You have constantly promoted sex out of a committed relationship (i.e. marriage) by cheering for people that have had one night stands (as long as they wear a condom of course). Even if you have a strong sexual perversion don't you think you should encourage these people to get their acts straight or would them getting their acts straight make you feel abnormal??
Response from Dr. Frascino
Why is it that the most closed-minded people think the rest of us need their twisted vision of enlightenment???
"You obviously don't think homosexuality is a sin . . . ." Yep, you got that one right! ". . . and you have confessed that you don't believe in evolution even though the bible is very clear on both." Yep, despite the odd use of the word "confessed," you are correct once again! I'm not at all surprised that you find my medically sound and scientifically based view of a healthy sex life to be "promotion of sexual impurity" and refer to a healthy sexual appetite as "sexual perversion." Well, I do agree the higher powers will have their way in the end and I'm willing to bet SHE is not going to be very happy with your self-righteous, sex-phobic bullshit. By the way, Church Lady, exactly what are you doing here lurking on the sex channel anyway??? I'm sure in your "enlightened world" even reading my comments must be a sin. When judgment day does come, I'll gladly stake my life's work dedicated to helping those in need as an HIV/AIDS physician specialist, as cofounder of two medical clinics devoted to the compassionate and comprehensive care of people living with HIV/AIDS, as founder and president of a not-for-profit charitable organization that has raised well over one million dollars for men, women and children in desperate need living with HIV/AIDS around the world and as an advocate of HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention and treatment. In addition I gladly compare my 14-year loving relationship with my partner Steve (Dr. Steve, the expert in The Body's Tratamientos forum) to any other union, "sanctified" or not. By the way dearie, what do you have to show for your Bible-driven life?
Well, as Glinda the Good Witch told the Wicked Witch of the West, "Be gone. You have no power here."
Dr. Bob

The question is: what helps you run a game?
That question is a multifaceted gem: the reasons one is not running or playing a game are truly and fundamentally different.
For one person, they may be waiting to be inspired. Another may not wish to do the grunt-work to run a campaign in the manner that meets their high expectations. A third may need some limits to allow themselves to be creative.
To assume however that the way you view a project is the only metric of a projects useability is an insight that could be produced by meth-heads hanging out on corners.
Not that I find fault with bombastic rodomontade. I say more power to you Pundit. After all, the quotes from the book sell themselves.
I sat with my styrofoam cup filled with rapidly warming red bull that I refer to as 'coffee'; a proper noun xeroxed into redefinition as a universal morning liquid caffeine dose, scrolling through the review on my fruit-branded homopape and thinking that it was filled with an awful lot of dissonance for someone who hasn't finished their sugared fizzy coffee.
The article rants; a word used with no offense intended, simply as a descriptor; juxtaposed with elegant blocks of text talking about bizarre and interesting horrors, creative and strange wonders, waiting to be explored.
He says:
"So there's no rhyme or reason to it at all; no tribes, no reason for the monsters to be there, nothing. Its a menagerie of crap, and I'm sure its meant to be "weird fantasy" but I'd put it closer to "stupid fantasy". The monsters serve no purpose, make no sense, in many cases what they do isn't even predictable (nor unpredictable in a good way; they just do things you wouldn't ever be able to expect for no reason at all)."
Which I find equivalent to an artist complaining about their canvas just sitting there, having a surface upon which to throw paint, with no art already completed!
But that is what many people want, a completed painting that they and their group can experience together. Others maybe don't want to build the canvas themselves so buying a high-quality one seems like a fine idea.
A More Nuanced Issue
Such a canvas has to bring something, though that thing is not connections between hexes, non-player character names, and an explicit explanation of all fantastic elements.
That something is wonder and creativity. This is why rats guarding even numbers of copper pieces inspire universal rage, and yet "Tulips of variegated colors bloom in profusion in a meadow roughly 300' in diameter. When any human walks in the meadow, the stalks of the flowers bend toward the person, and a musical humming almost too soft to be heard emanates from the tulips." inspire a generally positive reception.
When something is put into your game, it exists and is real as anything once experienced is. It has to be dealt with as a real thing. The difference is, the work of explaining why there are exactly 3,000 copper pieces guarded by rats is much harder then thinking up a creative explanation for a field of tulips that softly hum musical aubades to living creatures they strain to reach.
What's more, is that if left unexplained one leaves you with a sense of wonder: "We never did figure out what was up with those flowers, Frank." "Yeah, Bob, you're right." And the other eliminates your suspension of disbelief: "3000 copper pieces exactly? WTF, Frank?" "I dunno, that's what it says right here!"
It's certainly possible to come up with very good explanations as to why rats are guarding exactly 3000 coppers and I doubt any megadungeon worth its salt going forward will ever lack a room with rats and 3000 copper pieces again. But turning something plain and mundane into an engaging mystery is more difficult then taking something already interesting and creative and working it into the painting you are making on the canvas.
What I find even more entertaining is not some explicit explanation of what everything means. After all, I am an adult and long past the age where I require some sort of concrete explanation for things. The world and my experience of it is personal, variable, and most importantly ambiguous. I find great pleasure when things that seem random and disconnected actually have much deeper and more meaningful connections then perceptible at first glance.
I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere, but it might take me 40 or 50 sessions to figure it out. It's a good thing I have a book like Isle of the Unknown to help me get excited about it.

Saturday morning pancakes
Small buttermilk pancakes, made using eggs from these free-roaming chicken and served with the last of wild strawberry jam and a cup of milky coffee. All made by my dear K.
One cannot ask for more...

ohhh, pancakes are pretty much my favourite breakfast food. These look delish!
They look to be just the right size to eat with one hand while taking care of the baby too!

I think that strawberry jam would make ANYTHING taste good. And I think having someone else make you breakfast makes the morning go all the more sweeter.
Thanks so much for sharing. (I use the same canning jars as you :)
p.s. Estonia's song was great tonight!

Tatiana - eating with one hand is something new to me (I'm more of a fork-and-a-knife girl), but it's a skill I've certainly mastered quite well during the last 3+ months :)

Bob was born May 23, 1931, in Greenwich, N.Y., but moved to Chicago after a tour of service in the United States Marine Corps. He received his undergraduate degree from Lake Forest College, and his law degree from Chicago-Kent College.
Bob worked for the Department of Naval Intelligence before beginning a long successful career in the carpet industry. His longtime hobbies included playing tennis, observing wildlife, and watching football.
Bob was dearly loved by his children, David Hendy, Daniel Hendy, Susan Lighthill, Douglas Hendy, Lisa Hendy, Michael Hendy, and Amelia Emerling, as well as eight grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren.
To his friends, he was a gregarious, compassionate, considerate and kind man, known for his integrity and honesty in business.
A memorial scattering of his ashes will be planned at a future date.

A year ago I was roaming the streets of London and riding the Tube to my favorite destinations ... cemeteries. Churchyards were the first burial places and it is apparent that many of those no longer survive, but London natives and visitors walk over them not realizing that bones lie beneath.
Under common law, every parishioner and people who inhabited a parish, had a right to be buried in the parish churchyard or burial ground. While you may see a few gravestones in churchyards, there are many unmarked, unknown graves. A good example is the churchyard of St. Martin-in-the Fields which is estimated to have 60,000-70,000 burials in the churchyard. That suggests one on top of another in layers.
Kensal Green, with 79 acres, was established as London's first public cemetery in 1827. Many followed within the next few years, such as Highgate in 1839. They were commercial ventures and in the 1850s urban churchyards were closed to burials. Bodies were also being buried under the floorboards in chapels and school. As they decayed the stench was overcoming. A public cemetery would be a better choice for burial.
Landscaped cemeteries were common in Italy, Sweden and France. They were adopted in England as public cemeteries in the Victorian period. The public cemeteries are extremely interesting with various types of stones plus styles of mausoleums.
The first on my list of "must-see" was the Highgate Cemetery in northwest London. There are two sections to the Highgate Cemetery, both different and interesting. The west Highgate Cemetery is only open to tours. Visitors climb a few steps to be greeted by dank darkness. Adjusting to it, there are gravestones that seem to perch on top of each other, covered with undergrowth, vines, moss and bushes. A musty, earth smell hangs among the gravestones and only a true cemetery lover breaths deeply to enjoy it.
Less overgrown cemeteries, such as Brompton Cemetery created in 1840, also contain gravestones that run into each other with barely room to wedge a foot between them. Ravens perch on statues and the tops of stones, faithfully looking for pieces of food left by passer-bys.
All of these are peaceful settings. If you stop long enough to ponder the past, imagination takes over. You can envision a funeral party, all attired in black, with a horse drawn hearse passing down the path in 1845, bringing a body for burial. What has happened through the decades to their descendants? Do they realize where their own are buried? Or do they care?
Someday I will return to London to explore more cemeteries, stop and pay respects to those who have gone before. I may walk through a former churchyard and absorb the feeling of comfort that only comes to those who are obsessed with places of burial.

September 9, 2013 — In keeping with this month's focus on "Men Who Get It" (male champions who are making change for women in the workplace), we're pleased to share some words of wisdom from Jim Turley, retired Chairman & CEO, Ernst & Young (EY), and Honorary Director and former Chair of Catalyst's Board of Directors (from 2009-2013). Mr. Turley is a highly successful corporate leader and long-time champion of women in business.
Back in the mid-1990s, when I was becoming more aware of the issues that women in business face, I learned a very important lesson from a young woman at the firm where I was then a partner. I was leading a team tasked with building a mentoring and sponsorship program for our women, and our team was grappling with whether the program should be for women only or for all of our people (many argued that our men needed mentoring too).
The lesson my colleague taught me was the importance of perspective. She simply said to the group, "Look at the firm from my point of view as a 23-year-old woman. All the corner offices are occupied by men, as is almost every window office. Then ask yourself: if you were me, would this seem like the right environment for you?"
Ultimately, her perspective carried the day and we built what became a key program for women. On a personal note, by inviting me to see things from her vantage point, she converted me to the cause of gender equity in the workplace.
Throughout my tenure as CEO of EY and years of service on Catalyst's Board of Directors, I have had the chance to speak with many companies and individuals about the importance of diversity and inclusion to business success. In my experience, those companies that are making progress—none have fully achieved equality—understand that developing inclusive leadership can't be viewed as just the right or the fair thing to do. It has to be viewed by the organization's leaders and the majority of its people as the smart thing to do…and the only way to ensure continued success and longevity.
Why is inclusive leadership the only way to win in the long term? Because, thanks to rapidly changing demographics, no organization can count on winning in the future by relying on the same talent pool that helped it win in the past. Going forward, 70-75% of every organization's customers and employees will not be white men. Yet at most companies, over 80% of the executive leadership and board directors are white men. This is not a winning formula for future success.
In order to convince your organization to embrace a culture of truly inclusive leadership, it's crucial to couple a deep understanding of the big picture with whichever company-specific cases will bring these issues closer to home. That's when the hard work begins: putting effective programs in place to support the new culture, ensuring that unconscious bias is properly understood and consistently rooted out, and holding senior leaders accountable for real, measurable progress. Good leaders don't just talk about inclusive leadership. They get results.

Balisnia Salla Aunty Dengudu
025-braThe 86th constitutional amendment has also made elementary education a fundamental right for the children between the age group- 6 to 14. According to the 2001 census, the total literacy rate in India is 65.38%. The female literacy rate is only 54.16%. The gap between rural and urban literacy rate is also very significant in India. This is evident from the fact that only 59.4% of rural population are literate as against 80. 3% urban population according to the 2001 census.

- 10 brats cooked (leftover from last night's grill works great!)
- 1 cup of sliced pepperoncini peppers with juice
- 1 small jar of Prego spaghetti sauce any flavor
- Cook together in your crockpot, on low all day, or on high for 4-5 hours.
- Sauce gets thick, peppers cook down, and you end up with this "wonderful bun full of yummyness" says Karen. By the way, it's helpful to spring for the hearty brat buns!

On Rest and Spiritual Joy
We've been at the hospital all day. And among other things, the Lord has shown me how inadequate rest really does work against abundant, sustained joy. Not that it succeeded... but wrestling alternately with a bean-bag chair and a side chair covered in plastic for a few minutes of sleep while waiting for the labor to actually start... has prompted a reconsideration of my night time routine and its effect on my spiritual life. I'm reminded of reading somewhere that Lloyd-Jones would often ask people struggling with various spiritual issues/depressions if they were getting enough sleep. Not that I'm at all qualified to offer a second opinion to Lloyd-Jones, but I think the good doctor was on to a simple, elegant truth: we "do better" when we rest. Or, as Matt Schmucker would put it, "rest before you get tired." I need to remember and practice this wise counsel.
Turns out "junior" isn't quite ready to enter this world. So, my wife and the nurse sent me home for sleep. I'll be returning bright and early tomorrow morning to participate as they induce labor.
I will, by God's grace, be in a much better frame of mind as I'm now going to bed... thankful, joyful, and filled with the marvel of welcoming new life and the glorious hope of celebrating this child's second birth at some point in the future, Lord willing.
All that's left to determine is will the name be Charis Eirene or Titus Ezekiel. What do you think?

I guess Titus Ezekiel is better than Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz, Evil-Merodach or Ashurbanipal 8-)
We'll pray today! Let us know how it goes.

Pastor T,
I vote for "Charis!" My oldest's name is "Charis Aletheia." However, I always wanted a "Titus." But Pam said nada to "Titus" because she thought a boy would get teased by third grade with bullies calling him "tittus." Since boys came much later for us, I never had to chose between the two! Congrats! I will pray you get a night sleeper so you can get some rest....

Congratulations on the pending birth of you child. May the Lord richly bless your child and may they enjoy a long fruitful life knowing and living for the Lord.
\o/ - Praise God for His abundant blessings
- Vikki said...
I'm praying that you're wife has a safe labor and delivery.
BTW, I like Titus Ezekiel...but I know you and your wife will pick what's best. :-)

Titus Ezekiel. Yes, I cheated...congratulations from the CHBC fam!!!
- Cara said...
Congratulations. We don't know each other but I came across your blog the other day when I was looking up some churches on the Hill. The link took me to your post on frienship. You have (and/or Mark has) expanded on my own thesis about friendship. It was very encouraging to hear another articulate a stance that friendship should be intentional.

Susan Farrar says:
What a great idea - and beautifully executed too! Great news about Contrast!
E is for Eleanor says:
WANT! This is beautiful, would love to buy one!
beewaits says:
YES - these guys are amazing. I love a glitter collar. Would love to see a sharper collar alty as well x
i saw them use that glitter canvas on Mad Fashion (Bravo channel) They said that it is very sharp (the client actually cut her fingers on it) and I am cringing at having it close to my neck. How well does the lining protect you? I see it looks like soft velvet. It certainly looks AMAZING.
Miss Meadows says:
Love it! Some days you just NEED a bit of glitter to sparkle up your outfit. This collar does the trick! :)
So glad you all like it!
Sue: yes, the material can be sharp if you get at it from an angle which is why I've taken care to line the neck opening with the velvet. My skin never once came in contact with the glitter and the velvet lining also protected my clothing! Thanks for pointing that out!
Crystal Lee says:
I love the glitter collar! You have a dreamy glittering imagination & I really appreciate it.
Heaven says:
Good golly glitter galore! I have been wanting to make a similar collar this is awesome inspiration ;)
Allison says:
I adore this collar! It does go beautifully with the Miu Mius. I always love the designs you come up with!
Thanks ladies! I'll be going in to production soon (and it wont take as long as turbans did. Progress!)
Yours Truly, x says:
I'd love one! It's gorgeous!!
It would look beautiful on you!
Who Moved my Birkin says:
are those leggings or pants, they are so cute
Puff's Mommy says:
I'd buy one in a heartbeat!
Haru in Wonderland says:

Document Sheds New Light On Montevideo Weapons Case
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — A newly unsealed court document says a Texas man tipped the FBI that a man he visited in western Minnesota was involved in more than just an ordinary protest movement.
The search warrant affidavit was made public Wednesday under an order from a federal magistrate judge on a motion from the Star Tribune to unseal it and other filings in the case of Buford Rogers. The 24-year-old was arrested in May what the FBI called a "terror plot" but was indicted only on weapons charges.
According to the document, the unnamed informant, from San Antonio, told the FBI he spent time with the Rogers family at their home near Montevideo, but left in late April when he believed Rogers was preparing an attack on a police station and other targets.

Yale Wins 7-3, Harvard Next in Quarterfinals
NEW HAVEN, Conn. – The defending ECAC Hockey Tournament champions were pushed to the brink but came through with an offensive explosion to advance. Antoine Laganiere's first collegiate hat trick and Anthony Day's first two-goal game ignited Yale to a 7-3 win over Princeton in the best-of-three, first-round playoff finale at Ingalls Rink.
The win puts the Bulldogs (15-14-3) at Harvard in a best-of-three quarterfinal series at The Bright Hockey Center starting Friday night at 7.
Laganiere, who scored three for the first time since his senior year in prep school, found the net shorthanded, even strength and on the power play to push his season total to a career-high 17 goals. He had seven of the Elis' 42 shots on goal and helped make a miserable night for Princeton goalie Sean Bonar (35 saves).
Princeton's season came to an end at 9-16-7 and with a valiant fight to the finish. The Tigers put 30 shots on target but went 1-for-8 on the advantage.
Jeff Malcolm, replacing Nick Maricic in goal, made 27 saves, including 11 in the final frame to earn his first win since Feb. 4. He stopped eight of nine power plays.
"We configured four lines to make things even, so we didn't have to worry about matchups," said Keith Allain '80, Yale's Malcolm G. Chace Head Coach. "We took short shifts and the guys really played well."
It took the Bulldogs more than 46 minutes to find the net in game two, tonight was a different story. Yale scored in the fifth, eighth and 11th minute of the opening frame on the way to a 3-1 intermission lead.
Anthony Day, a freshman forward, matched his career total in the first half of the first period by scoring a pair of pretty goals assisted by Kenny Agostino. On the first one, he took a pass on the inner edge of the left circle, turned to get his body on the right angle to fire and then snapped off a rising shot over Bonar's shoulder at 4:52.
Day's second was a little tougher. With a defender draped all over him on the edge of the crease, the rookie from Buffalo reached out at the last moment and re-directed Agostino's crossing pass inside the near post to make it 3-0.
A shorthanded tally by Laganiere had given the Blue a two-goal lead. After a Saturday night full of penalties and special team goals, the first call of this night was going to be big. So when Colin Dueck was called for boarding 7:19 into the game, you had a feeling it might be a defining moment. Yale's big forward made sure of that. He carried from mid ice and swooped around two defenders on the backhand before lifting a nasty shot from the right circle top shelf.
If anyone in the building needed to see that the Tigers weren't going away, Andrew Calof's high slot snap shot on a 4-on-4 at 16:13 of the first was an obvious sign. It whizzed over Malcolm and almost knocked the water bottle off the top of the net.
The Blue made it 4-1 late in the second just after Princeton killed off a penalty. Andrew Miller had the puck on the left point, sent a crossing pass to Kevin Limbert, who was on the bench when the feed left Miller's stick. Limbert headed toward the net but quickly sent it down to Laganiere, who was on the goal line extended, 20 feet away from the net. The junior one-timed it off Bonar's pad….
There was still time left in the second for Calof to do it again, his fourth goal of the series at 15:39 to cut the margin in half. However, there was an answer from the home team less than a minute later when Laganiere picked up a loose puck in the right circle and carried to the low slot before he deked and then fired blocker side on Bonar. About 50 hats immediately flew out of the stands onto the ice as the red light went on.
"We knew they had a short bench. We were just trying to get the puck deep and tire them out," said Laganiere. "I think we wore them down."
The Elis thought they had another in the final second of the second when Chad Ziegler dove and poked a puck past the Princeton goalie off a face-off in the right circle, but it was waved off after a video review. And that was a big call because the orange shirted Michael Sdao got his second goal of the series from the same spot, a few steps from the blueline just 56 seconds into the third to make it 5-3.
Malcolm, making his first start since Feb. 11 at Cornell, came up huge over the last five minutes with four or five quality stops.
"The guys in this league are not used to playing three games in a weekend. It's hard to ask him (Nick Maricic) to do that. We trust all of our goalies," said Allain, when asked why he made the switch in goal.
Bonar left the net for an extra skater with the teams skating 4-on-4. That set up Brian O'Neill's best chance for a goal. He had been making great plays all game, but was missing the reward. Miller sent a pass off the boards on the right side in the Yale end and the captain barely won the race to it. He got to the top of the right circle at the other end, dove and smacked a shot into the empty net as the Princeton player fell on top of him.
The finishing touches on the scoring came 4-on-3. Kevin Peel made a great play to keep the puck in and skate past a Tiger forward. He came in full speed toward the net and dished to the opposite circle at the last second. Clinton Bourbonais one-timed a shot low into the back of the net for Yale's 15th goal of the weekend series.
"This was truly a team victory, which is exactly what we were hoping for," said Allain, who will face the Crimson at Harvard for the first time in the playoffs since his first season behind the Yale bench in 2006-07.
Here's what happened in the other ECAC Hockey Game 3s on Sunday:
RPI 4, Clarkson 1 (Engineers head to Union for quarterfinals)
Quinnipiac 4, Brown 2 (Bobcats take on Colgate)
Dartmouth won its series 2-0 and will play at Cornell
O'Neill's two points gave him 162 for his career and moved him past Mark Kaufmann '93 into second place on the school list… Yale went with the same lineup for the third straight night with the exception at goalie… This is the 2nd time Yale and Princeton have gone to a 3rd and final game of an ECAC Playoff Series. In 2008, the Tigers won the first and third games of a quarterfinal series at Baker Rink to advance to the championships… This was the second straight year Yale is hosting a game three of a tournament series; the Elis beat SLU in the quarters last March… Tonight was the 17th (regular and post-season) and final home game for the Blue, which went 10-7 at the Whale in 2011-12… Six seniors got a victory in their final game at the Whale… Yale is 5-1-1 over its last seven… The Bulldogs outshot the Tigers this weekend 117-88. Yale was 6-18 on the PP, while Princeton was 3-20.

The Formation of the State of West Virginia, by Granville Parker
(Wellsburg: Glass & Son, 1875), pp. 185-86
The bill then went into the President's hands for approval or veto. The opponents followed it there with unabated zeal. Many of the papers said Mr. LINCOLN would veto it. He required the views of each of his Cabinet, then in Washington, to be given in writing. Messrs. SEWARD, CHASE and STANTON, the brains of the Cabinet, expressed themselves strongly in our favor; while Messrs. WELLES, BLAIR and BATES, (the latter still adhering to the views expressed in his letter to Mr. RITCHIE, in 1861) expressed themselves opposed - Mr. HARLAN being absent. Numerically, therefore, the President received no aid from his Constitutional advisers, but he could justly appreciate the arguments and reasons given. It may be then, to the honest, hard sense, and wisdom of ABRAHAM LINCOLN, that we are indebted for the new State; for if he had vetoed, we could not have hoped to command a two-thirds vote of Congress.
The Hon. JACOB B. BLAIR seems to have been most alive to the critical situation at this time, and his efforts were untiring; and his honesty and earnestness had effect, I have no doubt. I happened to be in New York on private business, at this time, and gathering from the papers the critical situation, I went to Washington the 31st of December, called on Mr. BLAIR that evening, who informed me that he had just come from the President, who had told him to call next morning and receive a New Year's gift. We both slept well that night. In the morning, Mr. BLAIR, as he afterwards told me, called at the Presidential mansion before the doors were opened, went in at a window, met the President, who had just got up - he went immediately to a drawer, took out, and showed him the Bill, with his signature affixed - as the New Year's gift he had promised - manifesting the simplicity and joyousness of a child, when it feels it has done its duty, and gratified a friend. I soon after left for home.

Uncover almost any book will probably be for you with regard to on the web reading through.It's not a new 8 Keys to Eliminating Passive-Aggressiveness (8 Keys to Mental Health) commercial challenge in addition to we would always be delighted using minor help of every consumer to express the url of our site together with your buddies.
Description : Many people often say "yes" to something when they'd rather say "no." They offer cooperation through words but follow up with how they really feel-in actions that contradict their words. That's passive-aggression. At its heart, passive-aggression is about being untrue to oneself, which makes it impossible to have a clean relationship with others. Passive-aggression as a communication method doesn't make someone "bad." It is simply a strategy learned in childhood as a coping mechanism, a hard-to-break habit. Changing passive-aggressive behavior requires knowledge, tools, and practice, as outlined here. The book offers effective methods for transforming passive-aggression into healthy assertiveness to communicate in constructive ways through eight keys: Recognize Your Hidden Anger; Reconnect Your Emotions to Your Thoughts; Listen to Your Body; Set Healthy Boundaries; Communicate Assertively; Interact Using Mindfulness; Disable the Enabler; and Problem-Solve for Better Outcomes. Hands-on exercises are featured, enabling readers to better understand themselves.

The University of Maine's (UMaine) Advanced Structures and Composites Center and its partners will launch a 1:8 scale model of its VolturnUS offshore wind turbine on May 31, the first grid-connected offshore wind turbine to be deployed off the coast of North America.
The approximately 65-foot tall turbine prototype is one-eighth the scale of a 6 MW, 423-foot rotor diameter design. According to UMaine, it is the first floating turbine of its kind in the world, using advanced material systems with a unique floating hull and tower design. The program goal is to reduce the cost of offshore wind to compete with other forms of electricity generation with no subsidies.
Maine has 156 GW of offshore wind capacity within 50 miles of its shores and a plan to deploy 5 GW of offshore wind by 2030. The 5 GW plan could potentially attract $20 billion of private investment to the state, creating thousands of jobs, notes the university.
The VolturnUS technology is the culmination of more than five years of collaborative research and development conducted by the UMaine-led DeepCwind Consortium. The DeepCwind research program is a public-private partnership funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, the National Science Foundation-Partners for Innovation, the Maine Technology Institute, the State of Maine, UMaine and more than 30 industry partners.
Data acquired during the 2013 deployments off Castine and Monhegan harbors will be used to optimize the design of UMaine's patent-pending VolturnUS system.
The UMaine Composites Center has partnered with industry leaders to invest in a 12 MW, $96 million pilot farm. UMaine explains the prototype tests will help prepare it for a full launch in 2016.
The expected attendees include Maine's congressional delegation, representatives from the U.S. Department of Energy, and civic and business leaders.

Electoral legal minefields, baseball contracts, and airline woes
1. The Election Day legal battlefield:
We need all kinds of coverage of the legal Armageddon that we may face on Election Day and the morning after.
Assuming the election stays close, there could be multiple swing states in play, with voter identification and provisional balloting rules so much in flux that the multi-court, multi-issue legal war we suffered through in Florida in 2000 will look simple by comparison.
For example, voting in Ohio in 2008 was marred by all kinds of confusion and fights over thousands of ballots, but the battle ended on election night because President Obama pulled ahead of Senator McCain in the state by such a wide margin that the contested ballots would not have been decisive. This time, Ohio is likely to be much closer, and even with a federal judge having thus far enjoined implementation of new, Republican-sponsored early voting restrictions, confusion persists and the state's election machinery seems no less subject to breakdowns and disputes than it was in 2008.
Similarly, we know that new voting restrictions in Florida, which were only partially set aside by the courts, are likely to add to the confusion and disputed ballots there.
Other swing states could also cause lots of trouble, leaving us to wonder who won. For example, according to this excellent Associated Press report, in Wisconsin and Virginia, voters who don't present proper identification at the polls can vote provisionally and still have their ballots counted if they show up by the following Friday with their ID's. Imagine if we had to wait for that process to play out.
Put simply, any serious news organization in any swing state ought get to work on a full report on what the rules are (for example, do polls stay open if there are waiting lines at closing time?), what the likely snafus will be in the event of a close vote and what the legal process is supposed to be for resolving them.
Beyond these local stories, I'm hoping that by Election Day, Politico, Pro Publica, The New York Times, The Washington Post or one of the cable news organizations will have a comprehensive website posting of all the potential disputes in all of the swing states, what the law and the rules (including court filing deadlines and other timetables) seem to be that would govern their resolution, and maybe even a link to brief bios of the judges who might be asked to resolve them.
The other angle has to do with what the two sides are doing to prepare for all of these battles. What are the legal issues they're most geared up to deal with? And which states do the respective sides think are most likely to be the scene of a Bush v. Gore-like fiasco?
2. Shedding A-Rod's contract:
Alex Rodriguez's fall from $22 million-a-year Yankee superstar to $22 million-a-year benchwarmer, as told here by the incomparable Tyler Kepner of The New York Times, is — depending on your view of A-Rod — sad, as inevitable as the aging process itself, or maybe even fun to watch. But I wish Kepner or another sports reporter could find out if the Yankees have an insurance policy on Rodriguez that might somehow allow them to claim that an injury, such as the broken hand he suffered in August, has caused him to deteriorate far beyond the simple effects of aging.
Similarly, I'm wondering whether there's a big tax bonus in the offing if the Yankees decide to release Rodriguez sometime before the end of the five years left on his contract. Sure, they'd have to pay him what Kepner reports is the remaining $114 million due on the contract, but wouldn't they benefit from being able to write off his value in one tax year? Imagine if the star who became emblematic of baseball's crazed big-money contracts became a tax write-off legend.
Speaking of the Yankees and money, I saw a whole bunch of empty seats in the premium section at Yankee Stadium behind home plate during Friday evening's fifth and deciding division play-off game. Sunday's American League championship game also had lots of empty seats. How come?
Last point about baseball: What does Rodriguez's apparent fall with so much left to be paid out on his bonanza deal mean for other superstars who are coming on the free-agent market this year or next and are looking to lock in long-term contracts?
3. United Airlines and Delta:
Last February, I praised Bloomberg Businessweek's insider story of how United Airlines and Continental Airlines were tackling the nuts and bolts of their merger. Well, it's now clear that however carefully they may have planned everything down to the last detail (or however carefully they told Bloomberg Businessweek they were planning it all), the logistics associated with the marriage have been a huge flop. As has been widely reported, the merged reservation and gate allocation systems have repeatedly failed, causing all kinds of customer grief. Bloomberg Businessweek needs to go back and tell us how these best-laid plans failed so miserably.
Meantime, as United suffers from these merger travails and American Airlines is in a tailspin mostly related to labor troubles while it sits in bankruptcy, Delta Airlines may be going in the opposite direction. From my own experience on some recent flights, as well as what I've heard from a few friends, Delta seems to be on the upsurge in terms of customer service and on time performance. Is that true? If so, why?

Heavy metal musician and songwriter Adam (Thomas Bern) is housesitting for a friend, spending his days smoking cigarettes, ironing his Def Leppard t-shirts, and researching new lyrics in his large library of occult grimoires. It seems that despite having a smokin' hawt, punk rock riot grrrl girlfriend in Pat (80s porn legend Ashlyn Gere, here credited as "Kim McKay"), he still wants more carnal satisfaction--which thanks to his researches soon arrives in the form of small-chested, blood-spattered succubus Lily (Sylvia Summers). As Adam battles his disturbing sex dreams and struggles to find a rhyme for "METULL," Pat and her mousy sister Jodi (Lauren Peterson) prepare for a rockin' house party--the kind of Gathering of Stereotypes that only happens in 80s movies.
On the guest list are rich snob Francis (Cynthia Crass), who has designs on Jodi's out-of-her-league football player boyfriend Brad (Brad Laughlin); Valley Girls Jan and Rosie (Linda Denise Martin and Lisa Emery); specs-wearing nerd Jamie (Bob Pelham) and skinny Jughead-style glutton Foster (Matthew Phelps). Don't get too attached to any of them though--Lily's crashing the party, and is thirsty for sex and blood, not necessarily in that order.
"An original made-for-video feature film" produced in 1986, Dreamaniac is cheap, stupid, and a whole lot of fun. This is perhaps the most awkward house party in the history of partying, possibly because each of the attendees is the only representative of his or her clique and would never associate with any of the other partygoers in their natural high school environment. Things heat up as the night wears on, though: either due to the influence of an ancient sex-demon or else good old teenage hormones, sooner or later most of the girls and guys get undressed and do that horizontal bop. Director David DeCoteau (Creepozoids, Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-O-Rama, The Brotherhood) is clearly more interested in Man Meat than girlflesh, though, so there are plenty of gratuitous butt-shots for the ladies...and dudes too, for that matter. There's also more than one illustration of why you should never accept a blowjob from a demon, a BDSM scene that leads to a package-jiggling electrocution, a final showdown in which Jodi and Pat must fight their way through the reanimated zombie corpses of their friends to get to Adam and Lily, a decapitation by power drill (wha?), and a "stinger" ending that makes almost as little sense as that of Pieces.
The acting is all broad, high-school level, as the cast is full of first- (and only- ) time actors. The notable exception is Gere, who perhaps unsurprisingly gives the most natural, engaging performance in the film.The fashions and set design are almost a parody of the movie's own era--watch particularly for Francis' amazing knit sweater and Jan's side-ponytail and skin-tight yellow jumpsuit. Dialogue is bad but in a strangely charming way, and the gore is mostly of the caro-syrup variety. DeCoteau's direction is competent, though he does rely rather heavily on slllloooooowwww pans and tracking shots, especially early on.
In my youth, when I would load up on VHS rentals every Friday, snatching anything off the shelves that looked even remotely like a horror flick, Dreamaniac would have been just the kind of fun, goofy ride I was looking for. Your enjoyment will depend on how well you like your DTV cheese. For me, 2 thumbs.
|"OK, Jodi--you know the drill."

SWTOR beta signup and microtransactions
Two short bits of news about Star Wars: The Old Republic: You can now sign up for the beta. And if you read the fine print of the Terms of Service of the beta application, it appears as if SWTOR will have microtransactions as part of its business model. Which I find somewhat curious, as I'm pretty certain that SWTOR will also have a monthly fee. Instead of monthly fee games on one side and Free2Play with microtransactions on the other side, we get double dipping. Now that should be profitable for EA!

Profitable for EA indeed! Unless the game is as glorious as SWG was in the beginning that will make sure that I never play their game. 170$ a year is already a ton of money to play a single game, and even if they bump it down to 10$ a month 120$ is still WAY too much to warrant additional expenses for me.
Im betting EA is going towards game cards just like all the consoles have gone to. This way you have to buy $20 of points to buy that $5 gender change, then you quit the game a month later and they have a free $15.
Ive had the same 300 wii points for over a year now because nothing I want costs 300 points.

I get to the correct signup site now, but the process doesn't seem to work well for my WinXP / Firefox 3.5.3 browser. Specifically, it doesn't let me login after I complete the entire registration process (up through the system scan).
Oh well, I sent them a message through their website, so we'll see if it resolves anything.

I love how WoW has gotten away with no one thinking they have microtransactions when they have plenty of features that you can access as long as you pay for them. Sure most of them are switching/cosmetically related, but they are essentially microtransactions.
How are faction-change / gender-change / server-change fees different than microtransaction? WoW also charges for these.
That's interesting. There's also a rumor that Turbine is testing the waters for microtransactions in LotRO with its new "Adventure Packs." If so, this is a disturbing trend.
changed: Try setting up the account and signup from the account pages. I was sent in a never ending loop during the regular signup process. I guess it's bugged a bit. From the regular account pages it worked though.
So far it has been a choice. Go with a monthly abbo or have micropayments. I'm not willing to spend both the money on an abbo and on micropayments.
Interesting about the Microtransactions. I wonder if having a low monthly fee with optional extras will entice more subscribers to stay longer.
sid67, I was in the DDO Unlimited beta, and they just gave you some of their microtransaction "Turbine Points" to play with in the game store. It's easy enough to test the microtransaction system that way; it's like playing Monopoly.
Well, inasmuch as everyone gets some free funny money to start with, and they can track how people use it.

MagrothJ: Thanks for the advice -- it worked as you said. I never heard back from SWTOR customer service.
As always with the discussions that revolve around microtransactions, it seems as if everyone thinks that if they play a game that offers them, then they must use the microtransactions. I fail to see why this is the case. They are simply offering you the oppertunity to get some item/feature/whatever, that you may or may not have the ability to get otherwise, for an extra fee. It is an offer, not a demand, and certainly not a requirement. It may mean that you play the game quite differently than other people who are willing to pay the extra, but so what?
Why do you guys think this is EA when Bioware is doing the game and Bioware and EA are 2 different companies. EA has NOTHING to do with SWTOR.Post a Comment

The error with port 80 disappeared when I stopped lightppd (which was listening on port 81). The error with port 443 disappeared when I removed an extra line "Listen 443" which was added by ispconfig upgrade. And after that, apache has started with no error on port 8081 (apps). A bug ?

Mayor's Office
The remaining protesters associated with the Occupy Lincoln movement were removed about 4 a.m. this morning from Nebraska's Centennial Mall by Lincoln Police and staff with the City Public Works and Utilities Department. Mayor Beutler, who observed the action, said it was "uneventful." Only three individuals remained on the Mall. Two left when asked and a third who refused to comply was arrested.
"The Occupy Lincoln movement has exercised its constitutional right to free speech," Beutler said. "The City has allowed the movement to occupy ground on the Mall for that purpose for the past eight months for several reasons. First, we felt a strong obligation to protect taxpayers by avoiding potentially prolonged and expensive litigation that could result from an early eviction. We also felt an obligation to protect the City's reputation as a cohesive community. Even more importantly, we have profound respect for the First Amendment and the right of citizens to freely assemble and protest."
The City and the Occupy Lincoln General Assembly agreed in February that the campers could remain on the Mall until May 1, as long as they agreed to peacefully leave before that date so that Mall renovation work could proceed.
The Mayor said the City has treated the group as well or better than any Occupy movement in the nation. He said the occupiers were cooperative and observed the law, and the Police, Parks and Recreation, Health and Building and Safety departments worked together to protect their well-being.
A group camped on City right of way near 30th and Capitol Parkway left Tuesday after receiving an eviction notice from the City Monday. Occupy Lincoln members who spoke at Monday's City Council meeting said the primary purpose of the second camp was to accommodate some homeless people who joined the movement. The Mayor said establishing a camp in the area was "not in the best interests of the neighborhood residents or the homeless people themselves."
Beutler said a package of legislation will be submitted to the City Council to provide more appropriate venues for free speech in Lincoln. "I believe the proposals represent a good balance - one that accommodates people like those in Occupy Lincoln who wish to express their First Amendment rights by means of demonstration and those who wish to have fair access to the same public space," he said.
"Occupy Lincoln has engaged in a cherished American tradition, older than the American republic itself," Beutler said. "I have profound respect for all Lincolnites who pursue this difficult path, whether it's Occupy Lincoln, the Right-to-Life movement or Tea Party activists. There is respect in Lincoln for all sincere voices. I encourage members of Occupy Lincoln to continue to make their voices heard, just as I encourage all Lincoln residents to speak out. Like the many activists who have come before them, Occupy Lincoln has to make the difficult transition from being purely a protest group to being a political agent for change."

Regarded as a unique eco-destination, the Limpopo Province is South Africa's gateway to the north. The province shares borders with Botswana, Zimbabwe and Mozambique and is named after the Limpopo River that is the region's natural boundary.
Limpopo is a patchwork of different landscapes; the flat shrubby terrain in the west so perfectly suited for game reserves and cattle farming, the mysterious tropical rainforests and waterfalls in the central regions where exotic fruits are grown and the thick bushveld in the northern section of the Kruger National Park, all accessible via an excellent road network.
The people of Limpopo appreciate their heritage and are lovers of music and sport, and several festivals are held throughout the year to celebrate these pursuits.
Expect to be pleasantly surprised by the scenic wonders and cultural experiences on a visit to the Limpopo Province.
Top 8 reasons to visit the Limpopo Province
1. Take a guided walking tour of the Thulamela Iron Age site in northern Kruger National Park. The site has ruins of an old palace where iron workings took place. Nearby is a waterhole on the Tsende River and an opportunity to see the Big 5 and other mammals. Look out for hippos and crocodiles lurking in the water.
2. The Bela Bela hot springs is a popular weekend retreat for visitors from all parts of the country and said to cure various ailments. The Forever Resort offers heated pools, a wave pool and supertube along with many other forms of entertainment.
3. The town of Hoedspruit prides itself on its green community initiatives. Visit the Hoedspruit Endangered Species Centre, established to save vulnerable species, in particular the cheetah and rhino.
4. Polokwane is the capital of Limpopo and the city hosts a number of annual music festivals at either the rugby stadium or in the Meropa Casino gardens. Choose your preference of jazz, hip-hop or house music and book well in advance.
5. The Waterberg area is a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and popular for mountain biking, hiking and rock climbing. Expect to be watched by baboons, monkeys, rock hyrax and birds of prey that inhabit the mountain cliffs.
6. Tired of the bush? Stop in at the glitzy Meropa Casino to splash some cash. The resort has 2 restaurants, a cocktail bar, cultural village, health spa, mini golf and bird & reptile park to keep all members of the family entertained.
7. The Mapungubwe Hill west of Musina is a place of superstition and is the site of one of the greatest archaeological finds in recent history. The lost city was occupied by a Shona kingdom sometime between 1000 and 1200 BCE and discoveries include drystone ruins, iron tools and advanced gold-smelted treasures.
8. Hike the Mabudashango hiking trail that passes through the Thathe sacred forest, important Venda burial grounds, Lake Fundudzi – a lake revered by the Venda as a meeting place of their spiritual ancestors, and the Tshatshingo potholes. Consider yourself fortunate if you come upon a Domba dance at a local village, the sacred python dance performed by young girls prior to marriage.
The nearest international airport from Limpopo is OR Tambo International in Johannesburg. International travellers can easily reach the province from Gaborone (Botswana), Maputo (Mozambique) and Mbabane (Swaziland). Smaller airports are located at Polokwane, Phalaborwa and Musina. The Limpopo Province is split by the great north road (N1 national highway) that begins in Cape Town and ends at the Zimbabwean border post in Beit Bridge. A car rental is the best option for the area, which can be obtained at any of the major centres or booked online.
Did you know?
Sesotho is the main language spoken in Limpopo, however, English is the 2nd language taught at all schools and there should be no communication barriers.
The Modjadji Rain Queen, said to have rainmaking powers, lives in Limpopo in a town called Duiwelskloof (devil's ridge). The area has a high rainfall average and the surrounding forests are lush and green throughout the year. A coincidence or just a well-chosen site?

Reactor™ Makes Fountain Watertight In Spain
A polyurea application in Villanueva de la Serena, Badajoz
Earlier this year, GRACO introduced the Reactor™ foam and polyurea 2-component proportioner and the Fusion™ air purge impingement mix spray gun. These were the first products in a range of products dedicated to fastreacting 2 component material. Now, some months later, over a dozen tests have been conducted to prove this equipment to material suppliers and end-users in different territories. Both the Reactor™ and Fusion™ gun proved themselves during those tests. In this issue of Online, you can see one of the tests done with polyurea material in Spain.
The polyurea application was for a public fountain in the city of Villanueva de la Serena - Badajoz. This fountain had not been used for several years because the fountain was no longer watertight. By treating the fountain, the city wanted to make the fountain operational again. The fountain first needed some pre-treatment. As a preparation, the fountain was first sandblasted and then treated with a mastic layer to fill all uneven parts of the fountain interior. Finally, a 2-component primer was applied so that the final polyurea layer would adhere better to the concrete.
Application conditions
The application conditions that the material manufacturer advised were:
- 1 liter of product used per square meter of sprayed surface
- application temperature 75 degrees Celsius
- product pressure 130 bar
The equipment used for this job was the Reactor™ E-XP2 electric proportioner and Fusion™ air purge gun with flat tip FT0438 and AF 5252 mix chamber. As the Reactor™ was next to the fountain, maximum heated hose length was only 15 meters, plus 3 meters of heated whip hose. The result of this job (in total, a surface of 125 square meters) is a joyfully operating fountain that is protected by a 1,6 mm layer of polyurea. The comments of the contractor on the new equipment were positive. Especially on the mix ratio obtained and the quick and easy start up of the machine. As the mix ratio was essential to get a good result, the off ratio feature (pressure imbalance indication) was appreciated to prevent human errors, clogged filters, mechanical failures, etc).

From the "WTF?" department, we have a story of a squirrel. And Warren thought he had a squirrel problem.
Flaming squirrel ignites car. No. Really.
Lindsey Millar, 23, and her brother, Tony, 22, were both home Wednesday at about 12:45 p.m. when Lindsey's car suddenly started burning outside their 42nd Street home.
Tony Millar said firefighters told them it was the work of a buck-toothed saboteur that had been gnawing on overhead power lines connected to a transformer directly above the 2006 Toyota Camry.

Kitchener Small Claims Court
Kitchener Small Claims Court
The Kitchener Small Claims Court is one of the Small Claims Courts in Ontario. Read on to learn about the ins and outs of this Small Claims Court.
Address of the Kitchener Small Claims Court
The Kitchener Small Claims Court is located at 85 Frederick Street in Kitchener, Ontario Canada. Obviously, if arriving from anywhere where you have to take the highway, ensure to factor in usual traffic patterns before departing for court.
Phone Number for the Kitchener Small Claims Court
There is a phone number that anyone can use to call the Kitchener Small Claims Court and speak to court staff. It is 519-741-3270. Note, the best times to call are generally between 8:30 a.m. and 9;30 a.m. and then again from 3:30 p.m.and 4:30 p.m. That is not to say that the wait will be short whenever you call, but generally the wait is shorter (or less long!) at these times.
You should never call the court and expect legal advice. Indeed, the small claims court's greeting will tell you that court staff cannot provide legal advice. Court clerks will be helpful with respect to procedure only. This is important to realize because I have often been called by many people who have been told things by court clerks that, in all practicality, are unrealistic and/or unnecessary. For example, a court clerk may tell you that email service of a Plaintiff's Claim is invalid. Technically this is correct, but practically, if the Defendant ends up filing a Defence after email service, the fact that it was invalid has no real affect. A full explanation is beyond the scope of this blog post, but will be the subject of a future article.

The Lime Gulch fire in the mountains west of Denver is now 15 percent contained, officials said Friday evening.
Part of the evacuated area on SW Platte River Road and in Buffalo Creek Township will be open to residents only later Friday.
On Friday, "firefighters will continue to hold and improve (containment) line that was constructed on Thursday, as well as patrol and hold the fire east of the South Platte River," according to a Rocky Mountain Area Incident Management Team B media release.
Fire crews will shuttle across the river Friday to begin line construction along the fire's eastern edge, fire command said.
Evacuations and road closures remain in effect and have not changed, the release said.
Some 283 personnel are assigned to the fire Friday.
The fire has burned about 498 acres.
The cause of the fire, burning in Jefferson County, remains under investigation.
Denver Water, which closed Waterton Canyon on Thursday, said the canyon would remained closed for now.

Belkin's Conserve Valet reduces cable clutter and, by charging until your gadgets are full and no further, eliminates pesky vampire-draw. Its cousin, the Conserve Insight, will help out by letting you see how much power your other electronics are sucking.
The $40 Conserve Valet lets you charge 4 gadgets and draws zero power once they're charged—a rarity in a world where most chargers continue selfishly sucking power once their duty's done.
The $30 Conserve Insight lets you play energy detective; plugging it in between your electronics and the wall will show you how much wattage they're using and how much CO2 they're generating. OK, easing yourself (and your gadgets) into an energy-aware existence might not necessarily be fun, but at least Belkin's new gear makes it easy. The Conserve Insight and Conserve Valet will be available on Amazon in mid-July. [Belkin]

How to scale to a large number of journals
From PKP Wiki
As open source software goes, OJS is very customizable. You can choose your theme, add header graphics and apply your own stylesheet. OJS also allows you to host a number of journals in one OJS installation, which makes management very efficient. But organisations that host OJS journals, seem to end up with one OJS for each client or even for each journal.
The main reasons for this are:
- Modifications in templates can't be avoided. Templates are shared between all journals in an installation.
- Userdatabases are shared among all journals in a certain installation (John indicated in Athens there is a solution for this. Anyone?)
(any more?)
This increases the cost for daily management somewhat and the cost for patching and upgrading a lot. Can this be improved?

2001 Toyota Tacoma Buildup - Project Venture ToyPosted in How To on September 1, 2009
If you've been following along over about the last nine months here in the magazine, you've seen us building up our latest trail Toyota. What started life as a 2001 2WD Prerunner has transformed into a rig capable of crawling rocks or transporting us to our favorite back-country camp spots.
When we decided to build up an early Tacoma, we chose to use the Prerunner as our base as they are often readily available in good condition and cost a few thousand less than a comparable 4WD model. Both models use the same frame and we had plans for replacing all the drive train, save for the 3.4L V-6 motor and the four-speed auto tranny. Both of these have proven to be reliable and to perform well.
We shed the truck of all the axle, suspension, and steering parts and then reinforced the rear frame rails and raised the gas tank about 3 inches for clearance. We decided to keep the bed length stock, but opened all the fender wells to make room for articulating 37-inch rubber. We also trimmed the tail sheet metal so we could build a bumper tucked up high so that we keep the tail from dragging when we cross deep ravines.
Our foundation started with a set of Solid Axle built D60 units to provide plenty of axle strength. The front is 65 inches from flange to flange and the rear full-floater comes in at 64 inches. This yields us an outside track width just shy of 80 inches. This width provides good stability while still being able to fit through tight trails without a lot of fuss. The Solid D60s are stuffed with ARB air lockers, Yukon 5.13 gears, 35-spline alloy shafts, and Warn hubs up front. Both differentials are high-pinion units and use 1350 yokes.
To turn the 2WD into 4WD, we installed an Inchworm-built adapter onto the Prerunner auto tranny and mated that to a 23-spline, 2.28:1 Toyota gear reduction box. Behind that comes an Advance Adapters kit that mates the reduction unit to a 3:1 Atlas II transfer case with 32-spline outputs and 1350 CV yokes. From this we get four transfer case ratios and some deep gearing for slow crawling when we want. This combination works great and we can use the low gearing for effective compression braking on steep ascents.
Front suspension comes from All-Pro Off-Road. We took their Taco Supreme kit and mated it to the D60 with some bracket changes at the axle end. This three-link kit went cleanly on the frame after all the stock IFS was cut and ground away. Twelve-inch-travel Walker Evans coil-overs provide a smooth ride and a comfortable spring rate both on and off the highway. We're using the adjustable reservoir model and like being able to tweak the dampening to suit the terrain we're on.
All-Pro leaf packs prop up the rear and their 5-inch version spring gives us good ride height and we are pleased with how well they flex to compliment the front articulation. We use Bilstein 7100 reservoir shocks for dampening at the tail.

Peer inside and you'll find an Off-road Solutions cage, Mastercraft Baja RS reclining seats, Alpine stereo, Cobra CB, and added volt and transmission temperature gauges. For longer trips and times when inclement weather might spoil our bed cargo, we have a Bestop Supertop that can be added. The soft top installs easily without any holes added to our bed, and can be removed when we want the bed area completely exposed.
With the truck essentially complete, we've been getting out on the trail and doing some camping and wheeling after the lengthy build process. We're pleased with the results and look forward to getting some more trail miles behind us.
