Give your home a European feel
Fancy giving your home a makeover but aren't sure what look to go for? Well, we could have the answer for you! Always had an eye for Spanish décor but never done anything about it, or admired Italian tastes but felt it wasn't for you. Well fret no longer! Embrace your continental side and experiment with different European styles. From Roman blinds to French windows, we have all the tips you need to transform your home.

Always been a little partial to some ice cream or a bit of pasta? Not to play on stereotypes, but if you have a love for Italy then express it to the full. And what better place to do it than in the kitchen! Italy is famous for its passion for food, so portraying your enthusiasm for the culture in this room would be very apt. But how? A key feature of an Italian kitchen is its sense of being warm and inviting; the ideal setting for a loving family. Earthy colours are a popular means of conveying the Italian, rustic feel, as again they make it seem more like home. Choose appropriate textiles, such as oven gloves and tablecloths, as these are also a great way of making your kitchen more traditional. Don't forget to accessorise too! Some olive oil and jars of pasta on the work top will definitely give you some Italian flair. And the windows? Quality roman blinds from Blinds Supermarket would be the perfect choice. Bellissimo!

Why not speak the language of love all the time by opting for some French décor? France is the centre of cultural delights and therefore offers a broad spectrum of choice when it comes to decorating the home. On the one hand there is the concept of the 'French Empire.' This is style had Greek and Roman influences and is achieved best by combing neutral and bold colour schemes. This design appeals to many for its creative side as it allows you to be as elaborate and indulgent as you want; all the rich fabrics and bold prints you could ask for! However on the other hand, there's also the French Country style, which similar to the Italian feel, is also very rustic and family driven.

Spanish Interior design is very vibrant and full of life, so if you're interested in giving your home a flavour of Madrid, then get your yellow and orange paints at the ready. Spain is famous for its love of colour in the home, so follow the trend and make your house stand out from the crowd. Adding texture is also a way of giving a room the Spanish flair, so consider looking for some accessories or tapestries to liven up the walls. Get these sorted and you'll be having sweet Spanish siestas in no time!

"God healed me of emotional distress and life was spoken into me. Healed from some past childhood issues and my marriage healed and my husband and I brought back together. We (my husband and myself) took communion and we both fell out in the anointing God put on us. The scripture that kept coming was that I'm seated in Heavenly places with Christ Jesus. Thank you, Lord and thank you everyone who prayed for my husband and myself." - Ginger G. on February 25th, 2006 | |

Since I've come in, God has been healing my depression, ulcerative colitis, and pain in my back from past car accidents. He has also healed family relationships and got my husband and I have gotten closer. We are now in a Christ-centered chruch and my husband was appointed to church council just a week ago. My husband is no longer in a rock band that pulled him away from God and me. Praise God who answers all our prayers!!! god also has blessed me with a new job which I enjoy! He is truly faithful!" - Leslie K. on January 25th, 2003 | |

"My husband had walked out of our marriage after three months. We are back together and we have renewed our vows and our marriage in in God's hands and being blessed daily. We are both committed and very happy. I have my husband back and I have fallen in love with him. God has broken Satan's attack and his ex-wife's attacks to break up our marriage. Praise Jesus. Amen! Happiness is a blessing. Grace is a gift. Be joyous in all things. Praise be to our Lord for we are healed by His stripes." - Joy M. on February 4th, 2006 | |

I am excited about the work God is going to do!" - Linda A. on June 1st, 2008 | |
"In the past 2 months we have seen an increase in visible physical healing: Lady came in with a walker, scheduled for knee surgery the following Monday. Knees completely healed, walked out without walker, no surgery needed. Man, age 42, came in for deliverance from crack/cocaine, which he had been using since he was 15 years old. Left saved, healed, and no withdrawal effects...Halleluiah Family of 9 renewed in their hope, love and life. Their testimony is our family is back together. We haven't felt this much love ever!

Hope restored! Woman's cancer healed in her back." - Karen D. on November 12th, 2008 | |
"I would like to express my gratitude to Mighty God for the wonderful things He has done for me: 1. God helped me to return to my husband, but most important, that God revealed for me all my problems, all reasons why I had problems with my husband, why I was angry with him, why our relationship went down with years. God helped me to forgive all people who treated me unfairly, whoever was cruel to me, who offended me. God helped me to see my family problems, my Dad and my Mom's sins and problems, and forgive them. God helped me to forgive myself for not loving myself. Now in my heart, I feel peace and love toward all people and I would like some day to serve God, to be His love -- to save people and to reveal truth about Jesus to my family and my friends and other people who are not saved yet. " - Natalie L. on February 18th, 2009 | |
"Our marriage has been restored. We were ready to call it quits in July. Praise God, we have seen the power and presence of God alive in our family and home! We came to Paul & Gwen for help and prayer. God has moved in our lives. And He has honored his Word and saved our family through practical and biblical steps. We have been realigned to love for each other. Also our finances were miraculously blessed. We believed for our needs, and God brought in more than enough for that month. Within 3 DAYS of meeting Paul & Gwen at the PHD Healing Rooms, various people gave us more than a thousand dollars to meet our needs. " - Mike & Angela M. on July 18th, 2009 | |

I have hozon siphon from years ago (paperwork long gone of course)and a cheep drip system. Would it work to put the siphon inline to pick up weak feeding solution? I seem to recall that siphons work best at full flow so am wondering if it would work with the reduced rate/pressure of the drip system. Anyone done this or have insights? I can easily keep mixing and watering manually but want to put in the drip system on timer for my brugs anyway.
thanks for any input. will |

text: Technical Abstract: Trials were conducted to determine if solid or wire mesh flooring, during transport and holding of broilers prior to slaughter, influenced the number of bacteria recovered from feathered and defeathered carcasses. External carcass rinses were obtained twice, before scalding and defeathering and again after defeathering. Greater numbers of total aerobes, coliforms, and Escherichia coli were recovered from feathered carcasses than from defeathered carcasses. Campylobacter count was also less for defeathered than feathered carcasses from the solid flooring treatment, but did not significantly decrease following defeathering of carcasses from the wire flooring. The incidence of Campylobacter- positive carcasses was reduced following defeathering for both flooring treatments, but the percentage of salmonellae-positive carcasses remained constant. Coliform (log 6.20 vs. 5.63 cfu/mL of rinse) and E. coli (log 5.93 vs. 5.36) counts in the feathered rinses were higher for the solid flooring compared with wire flooring, respectively. After defeathering, the number of coliforms (log 3.12) and E. coli (log 2.91) recovered did not differ between flooring treatments. Aerobic plate count (log 7.06 and 4.02), Campylobacter count (log 2.49 and 1.80), the incidence of Campylobacter-positive (44 and 11%) and salmonellae- positive (52 and 50%) carcasses for both feathered and defeathered rinses, respectively, did not differ between flooring treatments.

The Ballad of the Cars
>> Rudyard Kipling <<
Now this is the price of a stirrup-cup,'The kneeling doctor said.And syne he bade them take him up,For he saw that the man was dead.They took him up, and they laid him down( And, oh, he did not stir ),And they had him into the nearest townTo wait the Coroner.They drew the dead-cloth over the face,They closed the doors upon,And the cars that were parked in the market-placeMade talk of it anon.Then up and spake a Daimler wide,That carries the slatted tank: --'Tis we must purge the country-sideAnd no man will us thank.For while we pray at Holy KirkThe souls should turn from sin,We coc k our bonnets to the work,And gather the drunken in.--'And if we spare them for the nonce,--Or their comrades jack them free,--They learn more under our dumb-ironsThan they learned at time mother's knee.'Then up and spake an Armstrong bold,And Siddeley, was his name: --'I saw a man lie stark and coldBy Grantham as I came.'There was a blind turn by a brook,A guard-rail and a fail:But the drunken loon that overtookHe got no hurt at all!'I ha' trodden the wet road and the dry--But and the shady lane; 'And why the guiltless soul should die,Good reason find I nane.'Then up and spake the Babe Austin--Had barely room for two--'Tis time and place that make the sin,And not the deed they do.'For when a man drives with his dear,I ha' seen it come to passThat an arm too close or a lip too nearHas killed both lad and lass.'There was a car at eventideAnd a sidelings kiss to steal--The God knows how the couple died,But I mind the inquest weel.'I have trodden the black tar and the heath--But and the cobble-stone;And why the young go to their death,Good reason find I none.'Then spake a Morris from Oxenford,(Was kin to a Cowley Friar ):--'How shall we judge the ways of the LordThat are but steel and fire?'Between the oil-pits under earthAnd the levin-spark from the skies,We but adventure and go forthAs our man shall devise:'And if he have drunken a hoop too deep,No kinship can us moveTo draw him home in his market-sleepOr spare his waiting love.'There is never a lane in all EnglandWhere a mellow man can go,But he must look on either handAnd back and front also.'But he must busk him every tide,At prick of horn, to leap Either to hide in ditch besideOr in the bankes steep.'And whether he walk in drink or muse,Or for his love be bound,We have no wit to mark and chuse,But needs must slay or wound.'. . . . . . .They drew the dead-cloth from its face.The Crowner looked thereon;And the cars that were parked in the market-placeWent all their ways anon. <-- Previous | Next -->

GrandMaggot wrote:TehBronco, you're greatly mistaken if you think I live in a "kung fu bubble".
Unlike 99.9999% of the people on forums that don't even DO kung fu, let alone see other people, I have a very active correspondence with many martial artists on a near daily basis. I meet real instructors and real students all the time, touch with them, share stuff, and hang out. Kung fu doesn't exist on a keyboard for me or my fellow instructors.
Just because I have found out over the last 10 years that Internet fu is crap doesn't mean that I don't have a clue as to what's happening in kung fu. The percentage of people who do kung fu that actually involve themselves on the Internet is shockingly low. That's because real practitioners are too busy with their lives and with their training, though I'm an exception because this is my living and not my avocation.
One reason I don't hang around kung fu forums is because people don't even do "kung fu" the way I think of it. Of the forums, this one is the closest to what I'm doing and still my views are widely divergent because of my training. At the rate I'm going, I'm sure my time will be up soon here as well.
If you want to continue insisting that people aren't interested in kung fu just because it doesn't win in tournaments, go ahead. Meanwhile I'll keep teaching the people that ARE interested, and their numbers seem to be growing.
Your dismissal of my real life experiences as a professional sifu just because I haven't won a tournament is an exemplary application of this very double-standard that we're talking about.
Hard truth is that MMA has taken the world by storm and established itself as the standard. If you however seem to think that Kung Fu is doing better than MMA out there when Kung Fu schools are closing down for lack of students and MMA, BJJ, Muay Thai gyms are full and popping up all over the place then I can only assume that you live in a Kung Fu bubble. Which is really not that bad, it just means you train hard in your Kung Fu and you're uninformed on what's happening in the martial world at large. The problem comes when you start claiming something that just isn't true, like: Kung Fu is doing better and enjoying more popularity than MMA which is nonsense.
Nobody said you have to leave this forum or this is how you deal with the smallest bit of disagreement you encounter? You should at least accept that other people see things differently.
And finally, I haven't dismissed your real life experiences as a Sifu, but the truth is that's what they are YOUR experiences. Even if I knew you personally I have no idea if you've really been in all the street fights that you claim you've been in. Much less hearing stories on the internet... of course that they are questioned and they don't hold much water.
This conversation was about Kung Fu, not you or me, and I tried looking at the issue from all angles and I gave the other view credit where credit was due. And credit is due.

In-vehicle Siri has dealers, consumers buzzing
Sponsored by |

DETROIT -- Apple Inc. has revolutionized the music, mobile phone, computer and tablet markets. Now, some dealers and drivers expect the company to do the same for in-car telecommunications.
These dealers and iPhone users are enthusiastic about having Siri, Apple's voice-command software introduced last year on the iPhone 4S, in vehicles.
"I wish we had the product today," said Scott Sharrow, general manager of Rohrich Chevrolet in Pittsburgh, citing customer demand for Siri.
On June 11, Apple said that it was working with eight automakers -- Audi AG, BMW AG, Chrysler Group, General Motors Co., Honda Motor Co., Jaguar Land Rover, Mercedes-Benz and Toyota Motor Corp. -- to include in-vehicle Siri capabilities. Honda and GM have confirmed that they plan to include Siri in their vehicles.
The feature, called Eyes Free, will enable drivers to make phone calls, send text messages, get directions, play music and use other Siri functions by speaking.
The buzz underscores the growing level of consumer frustration with factory-installed voice activation technology in their vehicles. J.D. Power's 2012 Initial Quality Study last week found that the No. 1 consumer complaint about their new vehicles was voice recognition systems not working correctly.
Automakers clearly are under pressure to make such hands-free systems work correctly.
Selling point
Since Apple disclosed its plans, analysts have praised the company's partnerships with automakers, saying that Siri will become more valuable to customers and that the partnerships will open new markets for the consumer-electronics giant.
Two days of interviews with iPhone users outside a busy Apple retail store at a high-end mall in suburban Detroit showed that drivers also were enthusiastic about the possibilities of using Siri while behind the wheel.
Ron Shapiro, who was visiting from New Jersey, drives a 2002 BMW 5 series without hands-free capability. He said he is in the market for a new car and would like one with smartphone connectivity. Siri could influence his decision on which new car to buy, Shapiro said.
"If I was looking at two cars that I liked about the same and one had [Siri] features and the other didn't, it would tilt it in that direction and I would be willing to pay more for that," he said.
Younger buyers
GM plans to offer Eyes Free as part of its MyLink infotainment system in two of its small cars aimed at younger buyers, the 2013 Chevrolet Sonic subcompact and Spark minicar, which go on sale this year.
GM said about 70 percent of new-car buyers want hands-free connectivity in their vehicles. Including Siri in the Sonic and Spark will enable the automaker to attract new consumers who are accustomed to high levels of connectivity in other aspects of their lives and expect the same in their cars, said Steve Waersch, general manager of Pohanka Chevrolet in Chantilly, Va., about 20 miles west of Washington.
"It's a good introduction, a good place to start" for new buyers, Waersch said.
But the cost of using Siri may turn away some drivers. Owners of the iPhone 4S who use Siri consume about twice as much data as owners of the previous iPhone model without Siri, according to a study released in January by Arieso, a network analysis firm.
And given that Verizon Wireless, the country's largest mobile carrier, announced June 12 that it would offer flat rates for unlimited voice calls and text messages while charging for data usage, it could become more expensive for some consumers to use data-heavy features such as Siri.
Others worry that the cost of getting Siri in their vehicles may be prohibitive. Teresa Manus drives a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. She said she might be interested in buying a vehicle with Siri, but that she would need to consider the cost because Apple products are "usually more expensive" than their non-Apple counterparts.

Rambler Media Ltd., operating one of Russia's most popular internet brands, has exchanged contracts for the acquisition of the remaining 49% of Price Express LLC (price.ru), a leading Russian product comparison internet service. Rambler already held a 51% stake in Price Express, which it acquired in January 2006. The transaction is expected to be completed in July 2008 upon regulatory approval.
Price.ru is currently the second largest price comparison site in Russia and generated revenues of approximately US$3.2 million in 2007. Price.ru will continue to be operated as an independent brand, but will be increasingly integrated into Rambler's services.
Mark Opzoomer, Chief Executive Officer of Rambler Media, commented: "The decision to increase our ownership in Price Express reflects our determination to continue to rationalize our product portfolio by either consolidating or divesting operations where we own less than 100%. This process will enable us to optimize our legal structure while focusing on the best services for our users and advertisers. Online comparison shopping and product searches have become increasingly popular in Russia and we believe that owning 100% of Price Express will create more value for our shareholders."

All it says when you click on it & fill out the form is "Chat was cancelled because there are no available agents" How do I actually talk to somebody?
Been trying for ages but it ain't happening. They even got rid of the submit a question with ref number. If there is no one to answer problems, there are no problems. Guessing that's their new approach.
so many complaints came in the lines crashed what a shame :\
Make sure your browser is up to date. Check out the link below to download the latest version of your browser.
Also, if you still have issues, try another browser. We recomend using Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox if you can't get Internet Explorer 9 to work.
Tried this, Firefox already up to date so tried Google Chrome. No luck.
The chat window pops up saying hello gamer but there is no agent and you can't click your cursor in the box to type.

New School Year Means New Principal For Redwood
T.J. Ebert moves from Avon Lake High School to the top slot at Redwood
School starts again next week and Avon Lake students and staff have a lot to look forward to this year.
New Redwood Elementary School principal T.J. Ebert said he is very excited about the opportunity the coming year provides.
"Superintendent Scott gave me the chance to cover at the end of last school year, and it was an eye-opening experience," he said. "I decided that when the position came open I would apply for it, because I really enjoyed myself."
In addition to having served for the last five years as assistant high school principal at Avon Lake High School before moving up to the Redwood principal's post, Ebert has 10 years experience as a social studies teacher and coach at the elementary school level. H e earned his undergraduate degree at Kent State University and his Master's Degree at Ashland College. He has a young family of his own, with his eldest child entering kindergarten in Avon Lake this fall.
Having experience educating both very young children and teenagers, Ebert conceded that there is a huge difference in teaching the different age groups.
"I expect that I will have more to say on that subject a few months into this," he noted. "Last year, in one week, I got to run the kindergarten graduation on Wednesday, and assist with the high school graduation on Sunday. It was the best of both worlds. It's a great experience seeing both ends of the spectrum, with kindergarten students moving on to the first grade and high school graduates going to college."
Ebert said that this year Avon Lake students and their parents will have a chance to participate in Winter Family Nights with the PTA in February and March.
"It's a way to get more families involved with the schools," he explained. "Our parents are very active anyway, but this gives them more opportunity."
Grade level showcases will continue, he said, with such programs as kindergarten graduation, fourth grade recognition, animal reports and wax museum, where participants dress up and portray famous characters.
"Of course, we have our new construction, with six additional classrooms," he said. A parent information night open house is planned for Aug. 25.
"This coming year, we're going to continue all of the good things we did in the past," Ebert said. "More than 98 percent of our students test above proficiency level. We aren't satisfied with just proficient. We want our students to excel."

Joyce Begay-Foss is an award-winning weaver and Director of Education for the New Mexico Museum of Indian Arts and Culture. An accomplished Navajo weaver for over 25 years, Begay-Foss has won numerous awards at the Santa Fe Indian Market, Eight Northern Pueblos Arts and Crafts Show, and the San Felipe Arts and Crafts Show. Begay-Foss began weaving when she was in her 20s. The touch, the sound and the movement of batten on wool connects her to the sheep, to the land and to her tradition. The Dine venerate their weavers. "I think there's like a calmness to it for me," she says. "When I weave, it's like I go to another place". She draws on this expertise as a writer, instructor, and lecturer on traditional Native textiles and dying techniques.She is also a contributing author on weaving techniques, including "Spider Woman's Gift: Nineteenth Century Dine Textiles". She has been involved in addressing issues and concerns of intellectual and cultural property rights of the Southwestern Tribes, especially with Diné (Navajo) weavers.

Thanks for that barnivore link Eat Y'self Fitter.
I'm glad to hear that Heineken is vegan. It is not one I ever ask for but I find it drinkable and the great thing is that it is found almost everywhere at all restaurants and bars near me (or the whole US, I'd assume). A great "back up plan", that is.

Mature Women
- A MATURE WOMAN is more honest. She'll call you an idiot and jerk if you are the one…She is not scared to lose you as young woman is.
- A MATURE WOMAN can't get pregnant unexpectedly and decide that one of two guys has to marry her immediately. If mature woman get pregnant, you'll be the last one who'll find out about it!
- A MATURE WOMAN can use red lipstick in the morning without looking like she just ate cherries
- A MATURE WOMAN will be expensive. Young woman can cost you 3 martinis at the bar.
- A MATURE WOMAN runs faster because her shoes are more comfy. She learned to invest in quality accessories.
- A MATURE WOMAN would never suspect that you "use" her…In reality she is the one who uses you
- A MATURE WOMAN will just pick up the phone, call you and ask when you are available. Young woman will be waiting by the phone….
- A MATURE WOMAN will introduce you to her girlfriends. Young woman will hide you from them because they might have some thoughts about……stealing you
- A MATURE WOMAN always has a great collection of underwear…Young women wear underwear very rarely…this fact excludes the possibility of striptease.
- A MATURE WOMAN has a great intuition…You don't have to tell her about your affair on the side, she already knows it for some reasons
A MATURE WOMANis experienced and understands that you can't always perform in bed after 10th drink …Young woman needs a while to realize that fact
- A MATURE WOMAN will never tell you that you "stole her best years" because somebody else already did it before you.

text: I had a job for 35 years that kept me from taking time off in September through November. When I decided to retire the first thing I promised myself was to hunt in September. I did what all good hunters should do and that was to research and talk to as many people as possible to sort out the numerous outfitters. Once I had narrowed the list down I made sure that I met and talked in person with each of the outfitters at one of their shows. I meet the Webber's Lodge staff at the Chicago show in January on a snowy windy day. Once I had met them, I was sold and booked a combination fly-in Manitoba Caribou and Moose hunt. Once I sent in my deposit and made that commitment I hoped I was right. Well, I was and here is the story.

Under direct examination, Ms. Langford said that Katopodis never bought a television for her family. Rather, Katopodis bought the television for a charity raffle to benefit the Holy Family Foundation, which Ms. Langford heads. However, the raffle never happened and to the best of her knowledge, Katopodis still has the TV, she said.
Under cross examination, Ms. Langford said that she and Mayor Langford had gone with Katopodis to casinos in New Orleans.
She also said that Katopodis and former HealthSouth CEO Richard Scrushy had bought a piano for her family. She did not know, according to her testimony, that Computer Help for Kids funds had paid for the piano.
Before Ms. Langford testified, Blake took the stand for an intense back and forth with prosecutors. Earlier in the week, jurors heard testimony from Birmingham City Council President Carole Smitherman that Katopodis had pressured her to attend a women's leadership conference in Cairo, Egypt. Smitherman said that Katopodis was pushy and that she was suspicious of the offer. Prosecutors asked Smitherman if Dr. Jimmy Blake was her physician. Puzzled, she said he was not and never had been.
The reasoning behind that question became apparent Friday afternoon. Documents taken from Katopodis' hard drive show that Katopodis used a letter from Blake to get a refund on an Air France ticket. He had bought the ticket for Smitherman.
Under questioning from prosecutors, Blake said he had written a letter for Katopodis saying that Smitherman would be unable to take the trip. He admitted that he wrote it so that someone who read it might mistakenly assume Smitherman couldn't travel for health reasons.
On another matter, Blake testified that he had met Charles "Patty" Hill, but he denied Hill had been his campaign manager for his 2002 Jefferson County Commission race. Blake managed his own campaigns, he said.
Earlier in the week, Hill testified that he had been Blake's campaign manager. Regardless, canceled checks introduced into evidence show that he was paid regularly out of Computer Help for Kids' bank account.

U.S. wholesale inventories increased by more than expected in April even as wholesale sales increased, according to figures released Friday by the Commerce Department.
Total inventories of merchant wholesalers were recorded at a seasonally adjusted level of $483.5 billion at the end of April, a 0.6 percent increase from revised March levels, which were also up slightly from initial reports.
On a year-over-year basis, U.S. wholesale inventories were up 8.2 percent from April 2011 levels.
April also saw an increase in sales at the wholesale level, with the Commerce Department figures showing a 1.1 percent increase to a seasonally adjusted level of $415 billion, up 6.8 percent from April 2011 levels.
Despite the larger increase in sales than in inventories, the inventories-to-sales ratio held steady in April at 1.17, the same ratio recorded for March.

I've wondered what his smithery must have been like. And not only that, but where was it? Did Count Rugen travel all the way to Spain – from wherever the obviously fictional (and British-based) land of Floren "exists" – just to have this special sword made? Or maybe Señor Montoya set up shop just down the road from Miracle Max. Maybe that's how Inigo knew about the old alchemist.
The idea actually started out as a shop shingle, but I'm a big fan of keeping things simple and subtle. I started asking, "If he had a t-shirt designed today, what might it look like?" I knew I was going to have Inigo's sword in the design, so I googled up some images of it. I found a couple from the movie itself plus some pics of various prop replicas others have done. I knew it was going to be tricky to draw because, A) the hand guard has some very interesting, sweeping, and dauntingly 3-dimensional curvature, and B) I'm not that great an artist.
As with most everything I design, I drew the whole thing out in Adobe Flash. The font for "Montoya & Son" is Formal Script 421 BT (Bitstream, FormalScrp421 BT), and I found the font for the other text here: Spanish Round Bookhand, 16th c. I then masked with a stone texture, followed by Posterizing in GIMP to reduce the colors. I made light tee and dark tee versions simply by using brightness/contrast effects.
Finally, a few words on the additional text. I knew there must be an interesting word for someone with extra fingers, and "polydactyl" was pretty easy to find. The "PRICES ARE NON-NEGOTIABLE" line was inspired by Inigo's recounting of his father's murder: "The Six-Fingered Man returned and demanded it, but at one tenth his promised price. My father refused. Without a word, the Six-Fingered Man slashed him through the heart."
This design will probably always be one of my favorites, just like the movie that inspired it. I hope you like it, too.
This design actually began as a USB keypad , kind of like you might plug into your PC or laptop. The symbols and icons would have been on the keys, and the thought behind it was that, as a sci-fi/fantasy author or screen writer develops a story, they interject bits from all the tales that have inspired them throughout their lives. Like, "This scene needs to be more Batman", or, "What would Gandalf do?".
I became frustrated at trying to render the keypad itself, so I allowed my brain to wander freely to find a different framework. At some point the little light went on above my head and the Stargate became the obvious choice. The next decision was how many spaces to fit on the wheel. I figured it would be best to stick with a number evenly divisible into 360 degrees, so after doing a bit of simple math 24 became the logical choice.
But then the hard part began. I had more than 24 symbols/icons in my list, so I had to whittle that down. Some of them were from the same stories, so I decided to pair them up, Two Face-style: Rebel Alliance/Empire (Star Wars), Autobot/Decepticon (Transformers), Enclave/Brotherhood of Steel (Fallout), and Alliance/Horde (WoW). Some stories held the opposite dilemma for me: no broadly recognizable symbol or icon at all – at least, not like Superman and Batman have – such as The Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, FarScape, etc.
I won't say which are which, but some of these symbols are included not so much because I'm a big fan, but because I know what they represent is incredibly popular among geeks. Hopefully, that won't paint me as a poser. I did it more to be sure the design as a whole could appeal to as many as possible.
You can vote for this design on Qwertee and buy it right now at my RedBubble store WITH and WITHOUT the text at the bottom.
Here is a list of all of the symbols on the OmniGate starting at the top (my personal logo) and working clockwise:
Mark Almighty logo (designer), Stephen King's The Dark Tower, Fringe, Firefly/Serenity, X-Men, Doctor Who, Fallout, Harry Potter, World of Warcraft, Battlestar Galactica, Batman, Star Trek (Star Fleet logo), Stargate, Indiana Jones, Lord of the Rings, Thundercats, Spiderman, Back to the Future (DeLorean), Transformers, Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail, Tron, Star Wars, Superman, Farscape (Moya)
Like millions and millions and millions of others on planet Earth, I have played World of Warcraft. I've been on the WoW wagon for a couple of years now. But back when I was still addict…I mean…had a well-worn subscription to it, my first main toon was a Tauren Warrior named Moobiwan.
For those who don't get what the phrase "You break it, you tank it" means, there are various forms of "crowd control" – ways of rendering monsters or opponent players harmless – that can be nullified if the entity is struck or otherwise caused damage. The most common form of crowd control is probably the mage's ability to turn a mob into a sheep that simply wanders around being, well, just a sheep.
If you inadvertently "break the sheep" before your party intended to fight it, you are expected to take the mobs attention and endure the damage it does that would normally be easily soaked up by the party's tank.
I originally made this design some years ago and sold a decent number of t-shirts on CafePress. I no longer have a store there, but you can buy it in a clean or distressed version in my RedBubble shop.


text: A Churchill Meadows man accused of arming himself with a samurai sword prior to a 13-hour standoff with police has a criminal record and was out on bail at the time. Peel Regional Police tactical squad officers were dispatched to a semi-detached home on Manzanillo Cres. at about 11 a.m. yesterday after a man was seen wielding a sword inside the home. They sealed off the home and evacuated the neighbourhood. The suspect barricaded himself inside the house for more than 13 hours before bolting the scene by jumping through a second-floor window into the backyard. He was captured by police about an hour later. Tonight, police charged Neil Armstrong, 27, with two counts of weapons dangerous, two counts breach of probation and breach of recognizance. Police sources say Armstrong is facing assault and weapons charges in Toronto and was out on bail at the time of Monday's standoff. The accused was convicted of mischief earlier this year and, according to the terms of his probation, isn't allowed to possess any weapons. He remains in hospital for psychiatric assessment and was remanded during a telephone bail hearing. Meanwhile, Churchill Meadows residents want to know how a man armed with a sword could elude several heavily-armed police officers. It was about 12:30 a.m. this morning when a man dressed in black and wearing what appeared to be a cape with a black hood jumped from a second-storey window of the Manzanillo Cres. home. He dashed by officers and TV cameras, disappearing into the night, somehow eluding police dogs and officers for an hour before an arrest was made. Police later found the man in the backyard of a McDowell Dr. home. Area resident Bonnie Calhoun, a mother of two, said she and other residents are concerned the man managed to escape the home. "I'm not sure how he managed to get away with so many cops surrounding (the) home," she said. "We were told (by police) that everything was safe … but things kind of unraveled at the end." Staff Sgt. Robert Higgs defended the actions of the officers, saying the "overriding objective" was the safety of the public, the armed man and police. "The containment of this individual was set up to resolve the incident without resorting to the use of lethal force," he said. "While efforts were underway to check on the well-being of the individual, he jumped out the second-storey window. While not apprehended under ideal circumstances, the goal remained to apprehend the individual without the use of lethal force and this was achieved." Police negotiated with the suspect for hours after entering the home at about 8 p.m. They fired several canisters of tear gas into the home and fired several rubber bullets at the man before one officer shouted that the suspect had jumped out the window. Additional officers and the force's Canine Unit were called in for the subsequent search. One officer was bitten by a police dog during the chaos. Const. George Tudos said it appears the man punched the window glass out before jumping. Several blocks in the Churchill Meadows neighbourhood were cordoned off while the drama played out. email@example.com Updated Oct. 23 at 10:15 p.m. Comments on this story have been suspended.

How to Build a Sustainable Kitchen
Foodservice and food retail operations come to sustainability for a variety of reasons. Some are required by statute or regulation to limit the use of water, energy or other resources. Others see a need to reduce wastewater or solid waste from their facilities. Pressure from corporate management, shareholders, boards of trustees, and constituent groups including students or even customers also motivate sustainability planning.
Regardless of the initial motivation, what makes all of these disparate programs successful–and what ultimately leads to their continued adoption–is their value to the mission of each organization. In most cases, that comes down to return on investment.
While saving the planet or cleaning the river … or just preserving a few cubic meters of landfill may be a noble pursuit, there is no escaping the hard truth that one way or another, every restaurant, supermarket, delicatessen, bakery, dining facility and C-store is an economic enterprise. For any initiative to succeed, it has to make economic sense.
When buying new or replacing commercial kitchen equipment, your decisions can make a huge impact on the success of the operation. How can you ensure you develop the most productive facility? Does investing a bit more up front for energy-efficient equipment really pay off in the long run? In this Webinar, Richard Young, Director of Education for the Food Service Technology Center (FSTC), will share his experiences on designing an energy-efficient kitchen. He will also discuss basic system operation and efficiencies and introduce techniques for reducing energy and water use in the kitchen. Richard will be followed by Rick Cartwright, VP/General Manager of ITW Food Equipment Group Retail Systems. Rick will highlight products and technologies that save energy, water and money, featuring a recent Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) accredited facility.

"Brilliant peridot color. Pungent medicinal herb, melon rind, bitter lemon peel, cinnamon bark, and spicy meringue aromas follow through on a brisk, lively entry to a mildly sweet medium-full body with wintermint, honey, camphor, and clove accents. Finishes with a long, mint leaf and aniseed husk fade. Tasted louched as an absinthe cocktail: Round, balanced with great interplay of mint, spice, herb, citrus, dried flowers and milder bitter artemesia pontica notes. Very refreshing as an aperitif or digestif; would make a brilliant introduction to absinthe."

Cointreau Liqueur
"A sophisticated orange pulp bouquet which after aeration turns much more dry peel-like. The palate entry is intensely orange peel-like yet more sweet than bittersweet; the midpalate stage is deeply orangey, sweet and sublimely juicy. Finishes ideally citrusy/tart/astringent, then turns lithe and sweet. The benchmark for all orange flavored liqueurs/triple secs. State of the art." 96-100 pts.

Zirbenz Stone Pine Liqueur of the Alps
"Reddish mahogany color. Sweet spicy herbs, wet zoo animal, and oily ox leather aromas follow through to a sweet, winey medium-bodied palate with jumbled spices and herbs, wet fur, charred barrel water, and sandalwood flavors. Finishes with a sugary, astringent, pink peppercorn fade and scorched spices. A curious blend of sweet spice and barnyard flavors, try with goat cheese."
