Road Runner & Wile E Coyote 20
Uploaded by BBGIrl_DK
This is a great, underrated short that's never been released on home video in the United States. There are a few choice Road Runner cartoons from this period, including "Zoom at the Top" and Oscar nominee "Beep Prepared," that are sadly missing from DVD.
What I like about this cartoon is how the pacing progresses. In the last couple of scenes even the traditional "full screen explosion smoke" is eschewed for just a quick on-screen blast to move the action along quicker.
Actually, i have Lickety Splat on a VHS which was a one-year promotion for collecting every VHS including a Christmas Bumper Special (I only got Bugs Bunny and Wile E. Coyote & Road Runner)
This cartoon seemed to get a heck of a lot of play on CN. I feel like I've seen this more times than I can count. I'm honestly surprised this one isn't on a Golden Collection yet.
You know though...there is one thing about these later Jones cartoons that bug me. It's the character's bodies stretching and remaining on camera whenever they fall or run off camera. I know it's a cartoon and all but these kind of things work better visually when a character's body moves a little more naturally. This bothers me the most in Jones' Tom and Jerry cartoons, probably because Tom and Jerry never really moved like that.

Mastodon Fossils-Rare in Colorado-Donated to Denver
Museum of Nature & Science
DENVER-October 1, 2009-Two young friends exploring a creek bed
in Ken Caryl Ranch after a heavy rain over the summer inadvertently
made a significant scientific discovery that informs the
understanding of Colorado's prehistoric past. Jake Carstensen
and Tyler Kellett, both 13, stumbled across a rare mastodon
mandible and tusk which could be 50,000 to 150,000 years old.
It is the best example of a mastodon ever found in Colorado, and
only the third discovery on record in the state. Both the mandible
and the tusk have been donated to the Denver Museum of Nature &
Science by the Ken Caryl Ranch Master Association, the owner of the
land where the discovery was made.
Carstensen and Kellett first discovered the mastodon mandible on
June 1, 2009, while exploring a stream and pool of water after a
period of heavy rain. The boys could tell right away they had found
the jaw of some large animal because it contained a huge tooth.
They brought their discovery home to determine what they had found.
After quizzing Tyler Kellett's father, Don, a wildlife biologist,
and ruling out every suggestion he made, the boys turned to the
internet to find some answers. They quickly realized they had
discovered the mandible of an American mastodon, a prehistoric
relative of the elephant that went extinct approximately 13,000
years ago. The boys contacted Dr. Steve Holen, curator of
archaeology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, who
confirmed their conclusion.
Holen was immediately interested in the discovery because unlike
mammoths, mastodon fossils are extremely rare in Colorado. With the
help of Dr. Greg McDonald, a senior curator of natural history with
the National Park Service and a Museum research associate, Holen
learned that there were only two other instances of mastodon
discoveries in Colorado on record-a tooth fragment was found
northeast of Pueblo in 1875, and a full molar was found in Golden
sometime prior to 1924 and donated to the Museum, which was known
then as the Colorado Museum of Natural History.
Holen returned to the area of the discovery with Carstensen and
Kellett to do some additional exploration in early August, when
they found the mastodon's tusk intact in a stream bank, submerged
in water. With the blessing of the Ken Caryl Ranch Master
Association, plans were made to temporarily divert the stream to
excavate the tusk and determine whether any other parts of the
mastodon skull were present.
The recovery of the tusk took two days to complete. On Saturday,
September 19, Holen, along with Carstensen, Tyler and Don Kellett,
and several other volunteers, began pumping water away from the
stream bed around the tusk. The group returned on Sunday, September
20, once the water was diverted, and began the challenging, messy
task of excavating the tusk. After digging carefully for several
hours, the five-foot segment of tusk was unearthed, wrapped
carefully in paper towels and plaster, and removed from the stream
bed. No other signs of the mastodon's skull were found during the
At the Museum, volunteers cleaned the mandible and applied a
preservative to prepare it for storage. The tusk is more fragile
and will remain in its plaster jacket for several more weeks until
it dries out, then it will undergo similar treatment. The
Museum has not yet determined whether the fossils will go on public
display. With the completion of the donation, the mandible and tusk
will be held in perpetuity as a part of Museum's permanent
collection of 1.4 million objects.

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) -- The U.S. Department of the Interior has endorsed a plan to expand Gettysburg National Military Park.
U.S. Sens. Bob Casey and Pat Toomey are sponsoring related legislation and announced the action Wednesday.
The proposal would incorporate the Lincoln Train Station in downtown Gettysburg as part of a 45-acre expansion at the southern end of the battlefield.
The train station was built in 1858. It served as a hospital during the Battle of Gettysburg and was where President Abraham Lincoln arrived on the eve of his Gettysburg Address. It's listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The land was donated in 2009 to the Gettysburg Foundation, which plans to donate it to the park.

Teenage Cancer Trust Drum Auction From Friday 5th December
Some of the world's greatest drummers have donated kit to an exclusive auction raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust charity, which helps teenagers and young people fight cancer.
Top drummers - such as Stuart Copeland - and Remo offer memorabilia for cancer charity
And the chance is there for anyone and everyone to cash in on the opportunity as the drums will be under auction and open for bids via the online auction site, Buy Once Give Twice, from Friday December 5th to Monday December 15th.
A selection of the collectables includes:
Remo 50th Anniversary snare signed by the 16 artists at the Remo Drummer Night including Chad Smith, Mark Schulman, Steve White, Ian Matthews
Paiste 22" Bell Ride Cymbal signed by Iron Maiden drummer, Nicko McBrain
Remo 14"DW Snare Drum head signed by Elton John's drummer, Nigel Ollsen
Remo 14" Emperor Snare signed by Iron Maiden - Nicko McBrain, Steve Harris, Bruce Dickenson, Adrian Smith and Janick Gers
Gretsch Catalina series snare drum signed by Phil Collins 14 x 6" - White Marine Pearl finish, Die cast Hoops, with Remo Suede Emperor drumhead signed 'Thanks for your support, Phil Collins'
Stuart Copeland Signed Silver Tama Drum. Also includes… Sting, Stuart Copeland and Andy Summers signed Remo drum head
But there will be many other items on offer, as well at www.buyoncegivetwice.co.uk/auctions/drummerlive.
Mark Schulman (pictured), the drummer for Pink, said: "I'm delighted to be supporting Teenage Cancer Trust's Drummer Night auction and hope it will raise as much cash as possible for the charity. I am a cancer survivor myself, as is my ex-wife, Kelly. I understand the challenges that patients go through, and I want to use my credibility as a drummer to raise awareness about such issues.
I hope the auction can help raise enough money so that teenagers and young people going through cancer have access to specialised treatment centres, like those provided by Teenage Cancer Trust."
There's never a good time to get cancer, but for a teenager the timing seems particularly cruel. Young people can get some of the most rare and aggressive forms of cancer. This plus the emotional upheaval of adolescence can make a cancer diagnosis even harder to cope with.
Every day in the UK, six young people will have to face that diagnosis. Teenage Cancer Trust understands that teenage cancer requires specialist care and in fact, that young people have a much better chance in their fight against cancer if they are treated by teenage cancer experts, in an environment tailored to their needs.
Teenage Cancer Trust builds units in NHS hospitals which improve the quality of life and chances of survival for young people with cancer. But as we receive no government funding, we rely on voluntary donations from people like you. It costs around £2million to build and equip a new unit.
We estimate that with the units we currently have around the UK, only half of the teenagers diagnosed with cancer now have access to this dedicated, specialist support. Our aim is build enough units so that, by 2012, every single teenager with cancer will be treated on one.
Most importantly, the units provide an environment where teenagers and young adults with cancer can meet others their age who are going through the same experience and provide support for one another.

Dayton Says Little Public Support for Gas Tax Hike
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - Gov. Mark Dayton says he does not support an increase in Minnesota's gas tax "at this time" despite the recommendations of a task force which included his new transportation commissioner.
Dayton appointed Minneapolis bus company executive Charlie Zelle on Wednesday to lead the Department of Transportation. Zelle was on the panel that called last week for the gas tax to rise 40 cents per gallon over two decades to pay for improving highways.
Dayton says he doesn't think there's public support right now to hike the gas tax. But he says Minnesota's transportation system is struggling and will need major investments in the coming years.
Zelle says he knows that tax increases are a difficult sell but that the state's transportation challenges are serious.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Revolution Under-18 and Under-16 teams each played a preseason friendly against the Philadelphia Union youth teams on Sunday, Nov.13, at ForeKicks in Marlborough, Mass. With several players missing because of injury or high school playoff games, the games afforded a dozen new players their first action in a Revolution uniform.
The Under-18s suffered a 3-0 loss to the Union in the first match of the day. Philadelphia opened scoring in the second minute, after a cross from the left found Darius Madison in the box. The Union continued to apply pressure; forcing goalkeeper Matt Mozynski (Bellingham, Mass.) – who played a combined 130 minutes on the day, after an injury during warm-ups forced him in the U18s' starting lineup – into making two consecutive saves in the 22nd minute. A foul called in the closing minutes of the half gave the visitors a free kick, which Union Home Grown player Zach Pfeffer sent over the wall and into the side netting for a 2-0 Philadelphia lead. On the other side of the break, both teams immediately created chances. While first-year Rev Ramiro Osario (Hooksett, N.H.) provided consistent service from the left, the Union scored the final goal of game in the 79th minute, shutting out New England in its first taste of fall competition.
The Under-16s also came away with a loss in the second friendly against Philadelphia, albeit with a consolation goal. The Union first scored in the eighth minute, when a cross from the left was headed home by Taylor Dempsey. The visitors doubled their lead in the 14th minute behind Charles Wheaton's goal, but New England answered shortly after. Build-up on the left flank resulted in a shot on goal by Amadu Kunateh (Lynn, Mass.), prompting a save by the Philadelphia goalkeeper Zack Steffen. Collecting the rebound in front of the net, Danny Apajee (Cranston, R.I.) followed up with a goal for the Revolution. A third Philadelphia goal by Colton Amidon in the 20th minute put the Union up, 3-1 – a score that would hold through to the final whistle.
One week of preseason training remains until the Revolution Under-18 and Under-16 teams begin their fourth season as part of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. This weekend, the teams kick off their 2011-12 schedule at Durfee High School in Fall River, Mass., where they will host Met Oval on Saturday, Nov. 19, before playing the New York Cosmos on Sunday, Nov. 20.

CONWAY — A second person has been charged with murder in the death of a Coastal Carolina University student.
The State Law Enforcement Division says 22-year-old Stephon Mclain Jr. was arrested Wednesday in Mansfield, Ohio.
Nineteen-year-old Anthony Darnell Liddell of Bennettsville was shot three times at a residence complex at the Conway school last month and died several hours later.
Twenty-year-old Marquis Spencer McDonald has already been charged with murder. Authorities say McDonald has admitted he was present when Liddell was shot but says someone else fired the gun.
SLED says Mclain waived extradition to South Carolina and is being held at the Horry County jail. It wasn't known if he has an attorney or when he would appear in court.

PKC Research at Joslin Diabetes Center - 1981 - 2005
A summary of more than 20 years of study dedicated to understanding the molecular mechanisms by which hyperglycemia damages vascular tissues, and testing PKC inhibitors to prevent the long-term complications of diabetes.
One of the most difficult tasks for diabetes patients is controlling the level of glucose in their blood. As clinical studies have shown, abnormally high glucose, or hyperglycemia, over time causes a host of serious health problems, including diseases of the kidney, retina, nerves and heart. All long-term diabetic complications - which affect people with both type 1 and type 2 diabetes - begin with damage to blood vessels.
Since the early 1980s, George L. King, M.D., Director of Research and Head of the Section on Vascular Cell Biology at Joslin Diabetes Center, has studied the role of PKC in the development of vascular (blood vessel) dysfunction. One of his lab's most significant efforts over the past two decades has been to understand the molecular mechanisms by which hyperglycemia damages small blood vessels and to find drug targets to prevent or delay the progression of diabetic vascular diseases.
Joslin's major contributions to PKC research include:
- Making the original observation that PKC is activated by hyperglycemia
- Identifying the first isoform, PKC-beta
- Publishing the first studies showing that a PKC inhibitor can prevent diabetes-induced vascular dysfunction
- Providing the first evidence that vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) increases PKC in vivo, leading to blood vessel abnormalities, which improved after treatment with the PKC inhibitor
- Demonstrating for the first time that PKC-beta is persistently activated in the large blood vessel tissues of the heart and aorta
- Publishing the first evidence that PKC is involved in adhesion of white cells to blood vessel walls, and that treatment with the PKC inhibitor prevented adhesion and decreased oxidative stress
This paper examines these and other milestones of PKC research at Joslin over the past 20 years, and briefly explains how diabetes affects the kidney and retina.

Are these EA puns doing it for anyone? Because we could always find a way to throw Dead Space 3 and Medal of Honor: Warfighter references in there as well. All jokes aside, EA has been in a publicity tail spin that throwing the CEO into the furnace seemed to be the only way they could allay the fears of the stockholders that things are indeed in control. But are they really?
I'm not foolish enough to think that Trip would have the same impact at EA that Steve Jobs had at Apple, but it might bring their credibility and perception of 'worst company in America' back around.
EA makes a great hockey game and publishes some pretty exceptional properties like Mirror's Edge, Battlefield, Shadows of the Damned an more. They just need to get back to promoting developers and game makers as their "reason for being" and start giving back to the consumers that have been supporting them for the past two decades.
If you are out there and listening, EA, where's my M.U.L.E., Sled Storm and Road Rash? My wallet's just waiting for you to stop chasing Call of Duty with every release and start getting back to the business of publishing great games again.
If you publish them, profits will come...

By Marsha West
March 31, 2012
In January 2011 mega church pastor Rick Warren enlisted the help of three doctors to come up with a health plan for Saddleback Church (SBC). The doctors he chose were Daniel Amen, a professing Christian, Mark Hyman, a Jew, and Mehmet Oz, a Muslim (and Oprah's "favorite doctor"). The foursome put their heads together and came up with The Daniel Plan (TDP). In a piece I wrote titled Rick Warren Introduces "The Devil Plan" I demonstrated that doctors Amen, Hyman and Oz are steeped in Eastern mysticism and the occult. So - why did Rick Warren knowingly choose occultists? Why not play it safe and choose doctors who are "in the faith"? It seems "America's Pastor" is always stirring up controversy, even when it's unnecessary.
Honestly, I don't really care why he chose the doctors he did. What gives me pause is that Rick Warren is a heavy hitter in Christendom, so it only makes sense that a shepherd of the flock should have more concern for the spiritual health of the sheep than for their waistlines.
When I wrote on TDP my primary concern was that Christians who trust Rick Warren would purchase the doctors' books, CDs, DVDs and nutritional supplements simply on his recommendation. My concern was well founded as many believers have been, and will continue to be, influenced by a worldview that's incompatible with Christianity.
Ignoring critics, Warren decided to take his weight loss program nationwide. TDP is now available to churches that are looking to offer a weight loss program. As of this writing 15,000 people have signed up.
Pastor Warren's willingness to unite with occultists isn't the only thing that has people on edge. Other criticisms are that he:
…embraces pragmatism -- in the Church, the pragmatist will look to the world's marketing methods such as surveying the community when determining how to grow their church rather than looking to biblical examples.
…discounts the value of doctrine because he believes that doctrine can be a hindrance to unity.
…misapplies Scripture and uses it as a tool to cover his own ideas with a pretense of divine authority.
…has redefined Christian ministry in terms of social activism or what is termed social justice. (As an aside one of the leaders of Social Justice Christianity, as it is called, is Marxist sympathizer Jim Wallis, founder and editor of Sojourners magazine. "Social justice Christians," says Eric Rush, "are those who profess Christianity, but who adhere to politically entrenched concepts of equality and redistribution of wealth. These ideas are ostensibly rooted in their faith, but in truth, they have been incrementally and insidiously insinuated into many American churches by Marxists, progressive politicians and pastors….")
In his best-selling book, The Purpose-Driven Life, Rick Warren says this:
Jesus modeled a purpose-driven life, and he taught others how to live it, too. That was the "work" that brought glory to God. Today God calls each of us to the same work.
Really? Then why did Jesus answer the way He did in John 6:28-29? :
Then said they
unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus
answered and said unto them, This is the work of God, that ye believe
on him whom he hath sent.
In his article, Michael Horton on Rick Warren, Modern Reformation, and Desiring God, Horton observed:
His best-selling book, The Purpose-Driven Life, begins by announcing that it's not about you, but about God, and then the rest of the book is about you.
Later Horton says:
Pastor Warren tailors his appeals to his audience. To Calvinists, he stresses his support for the "solas" of the Reformation. Yet he tells prosperity evangelist David Yonggi Cho, "I've read your books on Vision and Dreams – speak to pastors about how you hear the voice of the Holy Spirit?…What advice would you give to a brand new minister?…Do you think American churches should be more open to the prayer for miracles?" … In a June 2006 article in JewishJournal.com, editor-in-chief Rob Eshman reported on a speech that Warren gave for Synagogue 3000, after Rabbi Ron Wolfson became involved in the Purpose-Driven pastoral training seminars. "Warren managed to speak for the entire evening without once mentioning Jesus — a testament to his savvy message-tailoring." When USA Today asked him why Mormon and Jewish leaders are involved in his pastoral training programs, Rick Warren reportedly said, "I'm not going to get into a debate over the non-essentials. I won't try to change other denominations. Why be divisive?"… Rick Warren endorses a host of books, from New Age authors to Emergent writers to conservative evangelicals. So why not include Calvinists?
And why not include doctors who dabble in the occult? It seems obvious that part of Rick Warren's agenda is to be all things to all people, not to "earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints" (Jude 1: 3).
The Bridge to Islam
One would think the issues commented on previously would cause SBC's pastor to be more mindful of matters affecting his church. Not so. Once again Rick Warren is caught up in controversy. On February 23 the Orange County Register published an article titled Rick Warren builds bridge to Muslims. Jim Hinch reported that in December 2011 Rick Warren began "an effort to heal divisions between evangelical Christians and Muslims" by "partnering with Southern California mosques and proposing a set of theological principles that includes acknowledging that Christians and Muslims worship the same God."
In his column Hinch shared that the effort, labeled the "King's Way" document, "caps years of outreach between Warren and Muslims." Hinch claimed that the King's Way document (KWD) was co-authored by Abraham Meulenberg, SBC pastor in charge of interfaith outreach and Jihad Turk, director of religious affairs of the Islamic Center of Southern California and unveiled at a December 2011 dinner at SBC attended by 300 Christians and Muslims. Hinch included part of the document in his article.
Warren quickly blasted the veteran reporter, accusing him of putting out an article with "multiple errors" in it. Warren's response to Hinch's report briefly appeared in the comments section:
I deeply love my Muslim neighbors," he wrote, "but this article contains multiple errors - factually and theologically that neither our dear friends in the Muslim Community nor the Christians at Saddleback Church would agree with.
Soon thereafter Hinch replied to Warren's comment:
I 'm sorry Rev. Warren feels the story contains errors but the story was based on interviews and documents and it was thoroughly fact-checked. I discussed all of its major points with Tom Holladay, an associate senior pastor at Saddle back (sic). I checked with other sources quoted in the story this morning and they said they did not see any errors. While reporting this story I asked to speak to Rev. Warren directly but was told he was too busy for an interview. If any facts need to be corrected I hope representatives from Saddle back (sic) will get in touch with me. …
Warren later removed his comment.
When the blogosphere got wind of the article they were on it like morning dew on a rose petal. Who was telling the truth, bloggers wanted to know -- the media or "America's Pastor"? They wondered how a veteran reporter could get his facts so wrong. Being Bereans, as the Bible commands, Christian bloggers started digging for the truth. They discovered what appeared to be a carefully crafted cover-up by SBC. But why would they want to cover their tracks? Here's where it gets interesting:
At first glance, writes Ken Silva of Apprising Ministries, this would all seem simple enough; a report of a dinner at Saddleback Church where Turk and Meulenberg present their joint effort involving a document they'd written called the King's Way.
Warren denied the conclusions Jim Hinch drew. To clear up the matter he stated:
Christians have a fundamentally different view of God than Muslims. We worship Jesus as God. Muslims don't. Our God is Jesus, not Allah.
So far so good.
Silva continues:
The confusion really began to grow when I brought you a small section from what I was told is the King's Way document in Apprising Ministries Exclusive On Rick Warren, Jim Hinch, And Islam:
I. WHO: we believe in
God is one (Mark 12:29; Muhammed 47:19)
2. God is the Creator (Genesis 1:1; Al Shura 42:11)
This is indeed confusing – and there's so much more to add to the confusion! (The points of theological agreement are here)
According to Hinch the KWD "outlines several areas of theological agreement between Christians and Muslims and commits members of both faiths to three goals: becoming friends; making peace; and sharing "the blessings of God with others."
But which God? The God of Christianity or the god of Islam?
Silva goes on to say that journalist Terry Mattingly wrote a piece titled Religion: God, Allah and Rick Warren:
In his piece Mattingly quotes what he says is an email from Rick Warren who absolutely insists that: "Neither I, nor my staff, had ever seen such a document UNTIL the article mentioned it. It wasn't created or even seen by us. … Saddleback church as a church was not involved."… (emphasis added)
There seems to be a lack of communication between Pastor Warren and his staff and this is confirmed in an article by Jihad Turk. Turk explains that two years ago Abraham Meulenberg approached him and expressed an interest in exploring ways "that we can bring our communities together in friendship." Turk admits he welcomed the initiative. Later in the article he states:
…over the past couple of years, Saddleback Church through King's Way has participated in a number of events with several local Muslim communities. I was invited to give a presentation at Saddleback Church alongside pastor Meulenberg."
From the article it becomes obvious that some of what Turk said contradicts Rick Warren and corroborates what Jim Hinch said.
As stated above, Hinch stated that he and SBC pastor Tom Holladay had fact-checked the major points in his original article. Hinch also revealed that Holladay was among those who attended the dinner when King's Way was presented.
King's Way, Kingdom Circles and Saddleback
While gathering info for her radio show, Stand Up For The Truth, co-host Amy Spreeman came across an intriguing bit of news. She wrote:
Yesterday we broke the news that one of Saddleback Church's senior pastors, Abraham Meulenberg, taught about Kingdom Circles – a controversial interfaith teaching tool – this past summer at a Catholic church near Nice, France.
We wanted to give the benefit of the doubt and asked the question: Was Pastor Meulenberg actually teaching, or were these diagrams left over from a prior lesson, perhaps taught by someone else and left on the white board?
The photos in the gallery below don't show the pastor putting pen to the wall, but there is a clear progression of diagrams in each of these photos as he is speaking to attendees. (See the photos here)
Chris Rosebrough of Pirate Christian Radio's Fighting for the Faith program picked this up yesterday and incorporated it into a stunning and all-encompassing summary of what has happened with the King's Way, the Kingdom Circles and Saddleback's Muslim outreach in the past few weeks. If you need to catch up, click on his podcast…and strap on your seat belt.
With seat belt tight I listened while Chris gave the details of all that has transpired since Jim Hinch's original article appeared. When you put the puzzle pieces together, as Chris did, it becomes obvious that, for reasons known only to him, Rick Warren thought it best to deny, verbally and in writing, that SBC pastors knew about the KWD.
But they did know. There's photographic evidence of Abraham Meulenberg and Jihad Turk on stage together at the Saddleback Peace Center with the KWD displayed on a large screen behind them.
Clearly, the KWD has much more significance than something that came from an SBC Bible study where Muslims were invited to attend.
There's more. On March 13 we learned that Pastor Warren elicited the help of a paid public relations firm to present his version of the "truth" in an article titled "Setting the Record Straight."
Just so you'll know…
Rick Warren has been pushing interfaith dialogue for years. So it's no surprise that he's attempting to build a bridge between Christians and Muslims. There's nothing wrong with doing that as long as the primary purpose is to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Mark 16:15-16 However, Jim Hinch stated that he was told by Pastor Tom Holladay "King's Way was an effort to build bridges of friendship and cooperation, not an attempt to evangelize."

Rick Warren once said, "I see absolutely zero reason in separating my fellowship from anybody." In his ecumenical outreach, Southern Baptist Pastor Rick Warren has associated with the apostate Roman Catholic Church, the United Nations, the Council on Foreign Relations, and the Tony Blair Faith Foundation. These last two organizations have as primary goals setting up a global government and bringing all religions of the world together, respectively. Pastor Warren awarded the former Prime Minister of Britain, who is a recent convert to Catholicism, the annual International Medal of PEACE. For part two click below.

Marshall Amps Now On Dolphin Music
Here comes the complete range of Marshall products!
Follow on the footsteps of Jimi Hendrix, Eric Clapton, Pete Townshend, Noel Gallagher, Slash and so many other legendary guitarists, who have chosen Marshall Amps as their main amplification. This British company has been designing amps for over 40 years, and the image of a Marshall stack is as iconic today as a Fender Stratocaster guitar, or a Gibson Les Paul - it's an image that truly represents "Rock'n'Roll".
Amongst the many Marshall products you will find here, we can highlight:
Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker
The sound that launched the British blues invasion. The Marshall 1962 Bluesbreaker Combo Amp is just like the one used by Eric Clapton during his stint with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers and famously on the Beano sessions, which earned Eric Clapton the nickname "God", spraypainted on the streets of 60's London. View Marshall Combos
Marshall JCM800 Vintage Series 100W Tube Head (2203)
Classic tube tone from the days of huge guitar! The all-valve Marshall JCM800 2203 is one of the most highly respected 100W Marshall heads in the company's long history. Evolving from the legendary Plexi head, it was one of the first Marshall amps to feature a master volume control. The essence of simplicity, the JCM800 is a one-channel, all-valve amp with no reverb or effects. View Marshall Head Amps
Marshall Limited Edition Super 100JH Handwired Jimi Hendrix Stack
A faithful re-creation of the stack Jimi Hendrix used to change the course of guitar playing forever. The Marshall Super 100JH Jimi Hendrix stack consists of the Super 100JH head, the angled 1982AJH 4 x 12" cabinet, and the extra-tall, straight-front 1982JH 4 x 12" cab. The original version of this iconic tall, pinstriped stack was built in 1966. The Super 100 head was the immediate successor to Marshall's first ever 100W head the famous dual output transformer JTM45/100.
Marshall MS-4 Micro Stack
From big to small...Marshall got it all! Powerful enough to blow the windows out of a doll house! The Marshall MS-4 Micro Stack features 2 speaker cabs with a head, and it stands only 9-3/4" high. Includes fully functioning Gain, Volume, and Tone controls. The Marshall Micro Stack is powered by a 9V battery. Little in size, but big in "coolness"!
Marshall Rock Kit Deluxe
The Marshall Rock Kit Deluxe is the same as the 'Special', but with a different guitar. This instrument has a very nice pearl scratch plate and a sightly less rocky feel to it.Once again, the amp is the 15CDR. A 15 Watt amp in a starter pack is almost unheard of, especially one of this quality. It even has a CD input so you can jam along with your favourite bands. The extra bits include a Marshall gig bag, picks, strap, lead, Korg GA-30 tuner and spare strings. What Guitar magazine gave this pack 10 out of 10.
Marshall Rockbox Complete Amplifier Package
The Marshall Rockbox package Includes 15 watt amp, instructional DVD, tuner, gig bag, strings, string winder, cable, and picks -- just add guitar! This package delivers everything you want from Marshall when you're just starting out. Plus, the MG15DFX amp included in the package is so incredible, even seasoned players will love this deal!
Marshall FX Pedals
Marshall FX pedals offer outstanding value for money. They are boutique-quality effects, but for a price you can afford. No wonder that even chart-topping artists, such as up-and-coming The View (recently nominated for the Mercury Prize Awards) use Marshall FX pedals!
Some of the Marshall effects include the RF-1 Reflector (for classic spring reverb sounds, reverse reverb and others); the JH-1 Jackhammer Distortion and the GV-2 Guv'Nor.

Every week we cover Android gaming on Wednesday, followed by Android Rookies on Thursday and Top 10 app updates on Friday. Now every Monday we will look back and see which ones were the most crowd-pleasing among our audience. Read on for the 10 most popular Android apps among your peers from last week.
1. Bosch Toolbox
Last week's most popular app was Bosch Toolbox, which comes as something of a surprise. This app features a collection of handyman tools including a site measuring camera, unit converter, pro flashlight, supplier locator, and quick support for Bosch products.
2. EasyFocus
Next up we have EasyFocus, which allows you to produce SLR camera-like focus and defocus effects with your photos. It's similar to the tilt shift feature of Instagram, but it allows a lot more control. The early reviews are mixed, so be sure to leave your feedback on the Play Store where the developer can see it.
3. Keymonk Keyboard
Like the description says, "A video is worth 10,000 words, so check it out to see how Keymonk works." This new keyboard works like Swype, but it allows you to draw words using both fingers at the same time. The developer claims it's the fastest keyboard around, but it might take some practice to match their results.
4. Widgetsoid
Looking for fully customizable widgets with over 50 toggles to control? Widgetsoid is a free app that lets you customize the look and feel of system widgets to control almost any function of your phone. It already has over 1 million installs and a healthy average review score of 4.5.
5. Photo Punch
Photo Punch is a new free app that allows you to "punch" out an area of a photo, add a background, embellish it with effects, and share it to the community. This could be a great tool to create memes, so check it out if you love to edit photos.
6. VLC for Android beta
The VLC media player is coming to Android, and it's already available if you want to beta test it. Unfortunately, it is limited to certain devices and countries, so chances are you might not be able to install it quite yet. This is still something to keep your eye on if you enjoy the desktop version.
7. News Fragments
News Fragments is a simple news reader app that ties into Google News feeds. It allows you to sort your news feeds into separate fragments and presents everything in a clean looking Holo theme.
8. Justice League: EFD
Justice League was the most popular game last week, since it features heroes from DC Comics, but the app appears to be a bug-filled mess. It currently has an average review score of 2.1, with most users saying the game doesn't even work. Hopefully an update comes out soon that addresses all the issues.
9. Crackle
Crackle lets you watch full length movies on your Android device for free, so what's not to love? A recent update added the ability to play back movies over HDMI, so now you can share streaming content with the big screen. The app was also given a new design, so check it out if you haven't used it in awhile.
10. Death Dome
Death Dome is an awesome looking game, and it should have been a lot higher on this list. The game was published by Glu Mobile, who has a strong track record on Android, and it delivers the same high quality that we expect. Check out this game if you enjoyed Glu's Blood & Glory gladiator series.

SmartGeometry held in Copenhagen was all about architectural research. The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture brochure states that one of the most important purposes of architectural research is to "develop new models for the way we build and design the world in a time characterized by new technological possibilities and great challenges."
Day Six of SmartGeometry (sg2011) in Copenhagen kicked off with a talk by Mette Ramsgaard Thomsen, professor and head of CITA, on the topic "Materializing the Invisible."
She said they have built a series of speculative models in textile design, where they made iterative models over and over again, so they can return to one single description to bring together as one soft shell construction.
They learned two things from doing this: the unfolding of the complex surface is very complicated to do with the computer but extremely easy to do with your hands, "the simplicity is immediate to me," she said. "The relationship between the digital and craft is not necessarily immediate. The drawing changes in its role; rather than thinking of drawing as a section cut, it becomes a section, the detailing and creases are inscribed, it's the way the material is given its performance."
The parallel project for this is "It's a Small World," which is an exhibition they were asked to create to show something all the way down to small design. This is about how to organize models and they used fractal order to achieve it.
"Our interest became how we could organize different elements, trying to develop a model that performs. Using GenerativeComponents, we developed a parametric design environment that could take us from design process all the way through to fabrication," said Thomsen.
It's A Small World created an economy that really isn't present in research. They implemented non-traditional design practices to make new use of old materials. These surfaces were highly inhabited. "Therefore there was a rift between systematic thinking of these structures and the design intent of the curators. We had to adjust the way we were working with these structures," Thomsen explained.
Another research project, DevA, investigated the structural behavior of bent steel sheet and how it be used in architectural design.
In contrast, Lisa Amini, director, Smarter Cities Technology Centre, IBM Research, Worldwide Smarter Cities Program talked about her program which she is building from the ground up. She quoted Steven Spielberg: "Invisible infrastructure is the most radical change."
"The economies of scale are in cities," said Amini. "We believe this is where people will live." It is therefore prudent to design for data, and have your designs be influenced so they can collect data, to be able adapt to missions and the environment.
She sees a "Citizen centric vision" where citizens use mobile devices to collect data and will become very active data producers.
Ben Van Berkel, founder of Unstudio, talked about how the architect can rethink his position. His organization is a specialist organization that specializes with specialists around it. He spoke about the Mercedes Benz Museum 2001 for which there was a short time to design and build it. Used on this project was an animation technique could make 300 changes within the 3D model so people could stay working on the development of the model, and everyone updated the same day. So the need for compactness made it possible for those involved in the project to rethink the project.

I've noticed that after a LEGO convention, there is an abudance of pictures and a deficit of written information about the event. I mentioned to an online friend that I had gone to BrickCon, and he asked for me to tell him more "about the people, creations, atmosphere, impression that the whole event made on you, and all the other things that come to your mind about this Brickcon". I also wonder what people who attended think about it. How did it compare to past years? What did you like? Etc., etc. I also was trying to figure out who won for the Best in Show and for People's Choice. I couldn't find the information in any of the places I looked on the internet.
Thank you!

Who wears short shorts?
Added Jun 3, 2009
by Jodi Wade
Budapest, Hungary
I made these shorts using some leftover fabric from one of my dresses. I didn't have big enough pieces of fabric so I patchworked some together – it's not very noticeable though cos of the stripes. I modified the Anita pattern. I brought the waist down by 4cm and made pockets with bows on them. I wanted a covered button. The only good sized button I had didn't have a shank so I threaded some wire through the holes and made one!
Material Notes
Quite thick striped cotton. Blue floral cotton. Zip. Button. Wire.

Could you give me some advice on step six part b? IT isn't making much sense to me at all…. Picture a show how the right sides are facing together, but when you fold it over as part b says, somehow you end up with the right side facing the wrong side as the picture in part b shows.. I just don't understand how they get to that.

Sew the yoke and the back pant piece together, right sides facing. Zigzag or overlock that seam and then press it down towards the pant piece. Then top stitch it (sew it 0.7 cm away from the seam line). This top stitching will hold the seam allowances down so it stays nice and flat. I hope this makes sense for you now.

Democrat Peters goes after McMillin
Faulconer funder under fire in Navy chapel-to-restaurant conversion
Matt Potter 1:30 p.m., Nov. 12
Listen up, good people: review sites such as Yelp! gather opinions from thousands of people from thousands of backgrounds. Reading them, if you're lucky, may help you piece together the collective mind regarding a particular restaurant. Sounds wonderful and democratic...except you don't know these people! What's worse, you don't know what they know (and don't know) about food.
A critic, the sort who shows up week in, week out in your weekly Reader — her, you know. (And him, you know — hi, Ed!) Her history, her gastronomical education, her sense of place, her pet peeves and soft spots — it's all there for you to read. What they write will resonate with your own personal experience. Because while there may be a collective mind, there is no collective palate.
I could go on, but I don't want to get in the way. Dig in. — Ambrose Martin
Top Picks: Gaslamp/Downtown/East Village
425 Island Street, Downtown San Diego(No longer in business.)
This local branch of an international Milanese chain is the Italian restaurant that local foodies have been waiting for — at least foodies who follow the cuisine of New York's Mario Battali. Milan sent us a pair of its best chefs, chef de cuisine Mario Cassineri and sous-chef and divine pastry-maker Francesca Penoncelli, to prepare traditional but creative Italian "slow food" — unfussy dishes showcasing local-grown fresh vegetables and full-flavored craftsmanly products such as superb cheeses (and condiments to complement them), imported cured meats from specially fed pigs, handcrafted pastas with personality, breads with character, and indulgent, non-clichéed entrées, on a menu that changes every three weeks to reflect the newest farm crops and seasonal fish. Try Buffalo mozzarella with bottarga or with prosciutto; gooey burrata mozzarella with Chino Farms cherry tomatoes; house-made calamarata pasta with clams; tender filet of black cod with pesto-and-celery-root sauce; panna cotta with almonds and balsamic syrup, or other light, not-too-sweet desserts.
The decor combines streamlined black-and-white Milanese modern (including a thick dark carpet that succeeds in keeping the noise level down) with the rustic chic of a no-reservations cheese-and-salumi bar popular with singletons and couples. The charming, helpful servers are glad to bring most of those salumi-bar choices to your table — they act as if they really want you to be happy. The dining room is up a short flight of stairs, but there's a hidden wheelchair elevator. The wine list is part Californian, mostly Italian, arranged by color and region, and it educates you with the names of each region's typical grapes. There are plenty of choices by the glass, plenty of under-$30 bottles along with heavy hitters; beers include Moretti on tap. Those well-trained servers can help you choose wines for your tastes and price range. Appetizers run to the low teens, pastas to the upper teens. Entrées top out at $30, but if you're sharing plates with friends, it's easy to get away with food costs of about $35 each for a hearty grazing dinner with a shared pasta and entrée. — Naomi Wise
200 Marina Park Way (behind the Convention Center), Downtown San Diego(No longer in business.)
Eating's not just about eating. For me, atmospherics and attitudes are just as important. So when I think "best," I think best experience, not just that the steak was good and tender. It should be about food and fun. And the place where I've had the most fun eating downtown may be the last place you'd expect: JJ's, a hard-to-find little eatery I stumbled on after deciding to run up the 100 steps of the convention center and down the other side into the trees of Embarcadero Marina Park. JJ's sign hangs on one of the kiosks, right where the land comes to an end. It's a little round booth with outside seating but also an ambitious menu and a fabulous view, so different from other, bigger places at, say, Seaport Village. JJ himself is a laid-back retired Navy guy who seems to enjoy running his little "club" out here. He has standard breakfast items, such as an egg sandwich with cheese and sausage or ham or bacon and breakfast burritos. Lunch is the most interesting, with tuna subs, roast-beef sandwiches, burgers, and hot dogs. Every day he advertises a rib-eye steak sandwich on the sandwich board for around ten bucks, including beans and soda. A pork-chop meal (two chops) costs around the same. But the one that keeps me coming back is the Wednesday and Sunday special: a half-rack of BBQ baby back ribs, with ranch beans, garlic bread, and potato salad or coleslaw or fruit cocktail. Plus soda. All for about $13. You can add a 20-ounce Stella Artois, on draft, for $5. There's something about eating out among the trees, sipping Stella, feasting your eyes on that million-dollar view: a fishing pier, and then the blue bay, jumpin' with yachts, tugs, barges, ferries, pelicans, and a brisk breeze whipping the tops of the waves. You can almost touch Navy destroyers as they glide past. The only sounds are gulls squawking on the wing. What restaurant in the Gaslamp can beat this? Prices $3–$13. Open daily, 8am–5ish; and till 3:30pm Mondays and Tuesdays. — Ed Bedford
Honorable Mentions: Gaslamp/Downtown/East Village
416 Third Avenue, Downtown San Diego(No longer in business.)
1201 First Street #115, Coronado
Still the local sine qua non of upscale French-influenced Mexican cooking. Nothing rivals its refinement in dishes like chef Eduardo Baeza's signature Langosta Baeza, a meltingly tender Maine lobster tail over an intriguing bacon-mushroom stuffing, plated atop a mysteriously delicious coral sauce. Shrimp in tamarind sauce and a terrific steak are also on the bill. Wonderful starters (not even counting the choice of three different white rolls) include avocado layered with chilled seafood, and airy little blimps of stuffed calamari. Handsome Spanish-style decor. Also enjoy a blissful happy hour at the new, view-endowed location at the Coronado Ferry Landing. Expensive. — N.W.
327 Fourth Avenue, Downtown San Diego
Royal Thai cuisine in a regal setting, with a small fountain in the front room and a wall-length waterfall in the banquet room. Palace-trained chef shines in dishes like superb Tom Kha soup and Choo Chee curry, with coconut milk squeezed from coconuts, not cans. Try street-food dishes rarely found elsewhere, such as grilled Issan sausage, or Gai Quay (caramel chicken with rice noodles), and mix them with palace dishes like pineapple fried rice, stuffed chicken wings, and Ho Mok (seafood in a coconut shell). If you request "spicy," you'll get "medium." Upper-moderate. — N.W.
Yelp is only useful for addresses and phone numbers. As far as the reviews go, they are anything but useful and most are probably fake.
Actually Yelp is quite useful,just have to use some common sense. Saw Wise's article on Mistrial some time ago, tried it with family in town on a sunday. Hardly lived up to expectations. Extremely long waits between courses, even with few in restaurant.

TX DMV Test Simulator Exam Mode
This Texas DMV Test Simulator is different from other tests we have on this site. It is the closest thing you can get to the real exam. There are no hints and no explanations – because you won't have them at the DMV. You can skip as many questions as you want. You'll receive new questions every time you re-take this exam: no two exams are the same.
Do you sometimes get the test day nerves? You've studied and studied, but something happens on the day of the test. You do not even know what comes over you. You have learned everything there is to know, but then it's like everything falls out of your brain and you're left with zero. You can get over your test day nerves with the exam simulator. It simulates an official exam at the Texas DMV. It's just like sitting for an test at the DMV, down to the number of questions that you will take during a test. This is a terrific way to get over the stress you feel on exam day.
Are You REALLY Prepared?
Some people think they have a case of exam stress, when in reality, they just don't know the answers. They understand that right away when they take the test simulator. This simulator does two things to let people know if they have what it takes to pass the exam at the DMV.
First, it stops as soon as you fail. If you miss enough questions to fail the DMV test, this test stops and you don't get any additional questions.
In addition, it tells you when you get the answer wrong by highlighting the correct answer. This is the best way to learn the answers. Write down all of the answers you get wrong and then study them. You will be prepared if you go over all of the mistakes you've made. Then you won't have any trouble walking into the Texas DMV and passing your official test.
Still Have the Jitters?
If you still felt stressed on test day, continue to practice. Practice is the best way to alleviate nerves. Also, you could try some breathing exercises when you sit for your DMV test! That is a good way to eliminate stress. Just visualize yourself passing the test, as well.
You can do great on your test, but it begins with the practice test. Take it and then get ready to go into the DMV and ace your test.Rating: 4.1 out of 5 based on 34 votes.

If the University of Florida seeks a new campus energy provider, Gainesville Regional Utilities will have competition for the contract from outside the area.
If the University of Florida seeks a new campus energy provider, Gainesville Regional Utilities will have competition for the contract from outside the area.
UF's contract with Progress Energy, now owned by Duke Energy, expires in December 2014. In the meantime, UF has asked other companies to provide information on how they might provide energy to the university or expand its conservation efforts.
"We have a reasonably competitive rate with Progress but we think there are other efficiencies out there to help lower some of our costs," said Curtis Reynolds, UF's vice president for business affairs.
In addition to GRU, seven companies from Minnesota to Massachusetts have responded to UF. Several have previously worked with universities. Virginia-based Pepco Energy Services, a subsidiary of the utility that serves the Washington, D.C., area, has worked with Penn State and other universities on installing energy-saving technology.
"We like campus environments," said Patrick Sweeney, vice president of business development for the company. "Universities are great because they're trying to be more sustainable and they can look out in the long term."
Reynolds said UF will decide in the next year whether to extend its contract with Progress, but the university might also work with other companies even if it does.
"We want to reach out to other experts and say, 'What are some innovative ideas and technologies that are some possibilities in creating efficiencies or savings?'" Reynolds said.
Progress Energy operates a 50-megawatt power plant on campus that includes a turbine producing electricity and an attached generator producing steam for heating. UF can buy the plant or have it removed at the end of its contract with the utility.
The companies that provided information to UF include Boston-based energy consulting firm SourceOne, which has worked with schools including Boston and New York universities. SourceOne submitted information to UF along with its corporate owner, New York-based energy services company Veolia Energy.
The company tries to help people use less energy, said Rowan Sanders, a Veolia spokesman. An example is installing meters in rooms or floors of buildings rather than just one for the whole structure, he said, guiding conservation with more specific information.
GRU has an advantage over some companies in being able to provide both power generation and energy management services, said John Stanton, GRU's assistant general manager for energy supply.
"I think GRU is as well positioned as anybody to solve both ends of that equation," he said.
GRU unsuccessfully sought the contract for the campus power plant in the 1980s, but still has a relationship with the university. UF currently buys natural gas and potable water from GRU and electricity at locations off the main campus. GRU's South Energy Center provides electricity, chilled water and steam to UF-affiliated Shands Cancer Hospital.
Reynolds said GRU would get consideration if UF looks for another campus energy provider, but the university's main priority is getting the best deal.
"We're looking for the best and highest value to the university," he said.

Ten Second Review
The Peugeot 108 comes to market offering customers a lot of choice and a level of interior sophistication that city car buyers won't be accustomed to. The resurgent French marque is looking to stake a major claim in a hotly-contested sector and the 108 looks to have the goods to do just that. This time round, buyers get a choice of engines, the 82bhp petrol 1.2 we look at here arriving to join a revised version of the 1.0-litre unit.
The Peugeot 108 is a small car with a big weight of expectation resting upon it. You probably remember its predecessor, the 107. That car dates right back to 2005 and it's fair to say it probably struggled on a bit too long. It really needed to be replaced back in 2011 when the Volkswagen Group trio of VW up!, SEAT Mii and Skoda Citigo arrived and suddenly made the 107 look really old. Since that time, it's market position has changed to a budget contender that couldn't go head on with these cars and was further shoved down the pecking order by the Ford Ka, the Kia Picanto, the Suzuki Alto, the Vauxhall Agila and the Hyundai i10. With the 108, Peugeot's task was to wind back the clock in a certain regard, to convince people that a Peugeot city car could compete at the top of the class. The French company had already built confidence back with the extremely convincing 308 and 208 hatches. Now it's time for the junior partner to step up to the plate. Its 82bhp petrol 1.2-litre unit will be key in its success.
Driving Experience
As you probably know, the old Peugeot 107 was part of a three-car family alongside the Toyota Aygo and the Citroen C1, all three models being screwed together in Kolin in the Czech Republic. It's the same story with this second generation version, which is why it'll come as no great surprise to learn that the 108 is mechanically identical to the Citroen C1. That means you get a choice of a two petrol engines: a VTi 68, available with either a 5-speed manual or a 5-speed Efficient Tronic Gearbox (ETG), or in a 1.2-litre VTi 82 guise with a 5-speed manual transmission - the car we look at here. If you'll be doing almost any kind of regular open-road motoring, then we'd say that the 1.2-litre variant will probably be a better bet because overtaking is so much easier. The 1.0-litre model takes a yawning 29.8 seconds to accelerate from 50-70mph in its top 5th gear. In the 1.2, the same increment occupies just 15.9 seconds. Enough said. we'd suggest that this stat tells you a lot more than the usual 0-62mph reading, but for the sake of completeness, we'll give you that too: the 1.0-litre model takes either 14.3 or 14.6s, depending on whether its engine has stop & start fitted. The 1.2-litre model manages the same benchmark in 11s.
Design and Build
The difference between the 108, the Aygo and the C1's exterior styling is far more marked in this second generation model. Of the three, the 108 undoubtedly possesses the most mature, refined styling. That's important because this car is not really attempting to make a big play for first time buyers. Instead it's looking to attract customers who might never have chosen a city car because they felt too insubstantial and cheap. The 108 looks reassuringly grown-up with a discreet front end treatment and assured, mature detailing. There's very little here that looks contrived or gauche. Chief designer Ivo Groen insisted on lots of chrome and a palette of restrained, smart colours. The interior of the 108 hinges around a 7-inch centrally mounted touch screen system. This display is optional on the Active trim level and standard from Allure up and it really brings the interior together so you'll be missing out if you pinch pennies here. It controls the car's media, trip computer, Bluetooth and various vehicle settings. Should you want to personalise your 108, Peugeot offer seven different themes which feature decals, trim inserts, and seat fabrics like houndstooth and tartan.
Market and Model
The 1.2-litre VTi engine is only offered in plusher Allure and Feline trim, so prices start from around £11,000. There's a £400 premium if you want five rather than three doors, an £850 premium for the TOP! Fabric folding roof and a very reasonable £250 premium for the '2-Tronic' auto transmission. New to the 108 is MirrorLink, which allows the user to control their car's applications through the touch screens of their smart phones. Apple iOS, Android and Windows Mobile platforms are all supported, but do remember that the system won't allow you to start updating your Facebook status when the car's on the move. Safety equipment shouldn't be an issue as you get Hill Start Assist, anti-lock brakes, emergency collision braking system, and electronic stability control. There are full length curtain airbags, two side airbags and two front airbags. Both rear seats are also fitted with ISOFIX child seat mounts.
Cost of Ownership
We'd be willing to bet that the 108 ends up with the strongest residual values of the three sister vehicles. It looks to have the broadest appeal, although we'd probably look to specify the car with the touch screen if we wanted to guarantee better retained values. Even if it is being targeted at well-heeled downsizers or those families looking for an easy to use second or third car, the Peugeot 108 can't afford to be off the pace in terms of economy and emissions. Nor is it. Peugeot also proudly boasts that every model in the range comes in at less than 100g/km of carbon dioxide emissions, so there'll be no annual road tax to pay. That even applies to the pokier 1.2-litre VTi PureTech variant with its lustier 82bhp powerplant. This manages 65.7mpg on the combined cycle and 99g/km.

Why You Should Come to Nyack for YFS
I came to Nyack because God really gave me no other option. He made it very clear that he wanted me to attend. After coming I learned how great our program was. Len is so awesome, and going to Ron's classes are life changing almost every time. The community we have is amazing too! True Christian community is something hard to find now, and without a doubt I know God has graciously given that to me here. The people are awesome, and the teachers are even better!
Being at Nyack has been the best two years of my life! I have become a part of several youth ministries, worship teams, and a small group. One amazing thing about the Youth and Family Studies department is how diverse we are! From race to denomination we cover it all. Everyone goes out of their way to make you feel welcome! I have made friendships that will last for the rest of my life!
Nyack has been a huge part in my development as a minster, christian, and a youth pastor. This has been a place where God continually has been growing and testing me in my leadership roles. The Youth and Family Studies department is one of the most diverse departments on campus. It is a place where relationships grow and last forever. Y.F.S is a place for You !
I visited Nyack College and finally felt at home. After going through the application process and filling out the major sheet about four times, I then realized that God was calling me to counsel youth. I could of easily went to other schools for business, teaching, english, or management but my only motivation to fulfill those majors was for security and money. Although I am commuter, Nyack is a home for me and makes my dreams accessible. Through the Youth and Family Studies program, God demonstrated his provision in my life through the calling he has given me to counsel and lead youth. It was through this program and school that I am now a boat with a journey towards Christ and working for kingdom.
I first felt a call from God to go into youth ministry when I was in high school. After high school God opened the door for me to come to Nyack College to study youth ministry. God has brought me so far since then. The youth and family studies department at Nyack is great, because unlike other colleges, it takes youth ministry as a serious study. Nothing has challenged me more or grown me more than studying youth ministry at Nyack. I also love that the department is so biblically based. I have made so many friends in the department because we are so well connected with each other. I have learned how to better disciple teenagers and serve Jesus Christ.
All I wanted to do was help kids. I wanted to be there for them when they were hurting and help them find God in those dark times. Oddly enough, I came in to Nyack as a Music Education major, but then proceeded to change my mind seven times. When I was finally ready to listen to God, I couldn't believe I had avoided Youth ministry for so long; nothing fit better. I finally felt passionate about what I was learning, I was motivated to go to class, I was pushed to excel through all of my assignments. The professors were more than gracious with my game schedules, and worked with me through my sports seasons to keep caught up. I couldn't be more blessed to be a part of such a wonderful family. It's hard to give credit to anything other than God; and I couldn't be happier to be a part of the Youth Ministry department.

I don't think that yuki is weak or co-dependant... She became stronger as a human to be independant for kaname sake. I just think that she doesn't know what she is yet/how to connect. She has all these Vampire instincts, but is unsure how to live. The only thing that is common in both places human and vampire is love and that she knows. She grew up as a human but forgot how to be a vampire, so everything is new to her and she is lost. When she was a human she never had these problems she just had to be herslf. It's like kaname is trying to teach her who and what she is, because she is still newly awaken. I'm just glad that she is being honest with herself about her feelings(and everyone else). But I often wonder if all of that will go out the window when she finds out who kaname truly is, but then again her parents always knew who he was and loved him just the same....Yuki may do so tooo ....I would like to think that she is not that hyprocritcal of the man who gave up everything to be with her....But I hate that everyone else has accepted who she is except for zero and herself...

boring chapter nothing really happened which im starting to think is trend. I was never a fan of Yuki nor Kaname so the parts i did like involved Zero for like the 3 pages he was in. Obviously Kaname is hiding something behind the door and surprise that Yuki instantly forgets about whats behind door #1 the min he arrives.
The thirst of a Vampire can only be quenched by the one you love. Yes its obvious that Yuki still have feelings for Zero but has made her declaration to Kaname "FOREVER" words are very pretty indeed im not so sure how it will pan out though.
Honestly the only way for Yuki to move forward is too embrace her Vampire side completely which grabbing the hand of the chibi Yuki seems to point in this direction. However doing so means erasing the human side of her if she does she will forever be in turmoil. She will accept her Vamp side Kanames blood will nourish her and her powers will grow. But that also leaves a larger chance for her and Zero to have confrontation its the human side that still has an attachment to Zero and the human side that said she would run from him forever if that human side is gone well i think you know.

And Sinestra's point is also correct to a degree. However, I would say Zero doesn't really accept her for who she is but simply see her for what she has become.
In my eyes, Yuuki's weakness is her indecisiveness. After one entire year, she should have been able to sort through her problems more than what I see her doing now. If she realizes all these sacrifices Kaname's made, if she knows she's being spoiled, then she should do something about it. Instead, she still mosey about her troubles without actively seeking for a solution. She is a vampire. Live with it and fine a resolution. Don't just lie around crying over spilled milk. She has proven before that she can be resolute about a point. It is now time she be resolute, accept who she is, and take a hold of her life.

Yuki's indecisiveness doesn't really bother me because it's not really surprising. Even though she's was born a vampire she also is in many way just as much a human now, if not more so. Accepting two completely different lifestyles is fairly tough and I think she was extremely happy as a human. And as a Zeki fan if we lay the blame for her current indecisiveness at Zero's feet isn't that even more of a testament to her feelings for him?

i see i'm not alone in my growing hatred of yuuki's character,what a moron,first she says to zero that desires only kaname's blood then she has the audacity to tell kaname that his blood doesn't completely satisfy her,nevermind the fact zero threatened to kill her supposedly because of what she is,even tthough she worked tirelessly to save him,when presented with yuuki's consent kaname did not take yuki's blood even though he craved it for ten years,to protect her and prolong her peacefull life,he is not a slave to his desires but zero ,will take blood from anybody,even kaname who is suppossed to be his enemy.i used to think that kaname and yuuki was the most beautifull love story i had ever read but what yuuki said has just ruined it for me,my poor kaname,i'm starting to think he should choose sara and give yuuki to zero,they deserve each other because they are both stupid,as much as i love kaname and yuuki her stupidity is unforgiveable ,i would love to see sara come and steal kaname from yuuki,i wonder how thirsty she would be for zero's blood if she saw kaname in sara's arms

hey guys i have a question,as a fan of kaname and yuuki i wanted to ask,is it possible that heer supposed attachement to zero has to do with not accepting herself as a vampire fully and not wanting to let go of her human nature and also not wanting to use her fangs,if she used her fangs on kaname and if she let go of her human nature and accepted herself as a vampire would zero still be an issue

There could be another season in a bit, once the manga catches up (actually, the anime ended with stuff that hadn't been shown in the manga) so maybe late in the year we'll get an announcement but not yet.

Brief SummaryRead full entry
DescriptionBearded seals have relatively small heads and prominent whiskers. Males and females are similar in size and appearance. They live in the north Pacific and north Atlantic, usually where there is moving ice and open water less than 150-200 m deep. They typically feed near the bottom of the sea on fish, crustaceans, and mollusks. Socially, in a kind of ritualized competition, males gather and vocalize and display to advertise their breeding condition and status, in hopes of attracting receptive females. During the breeding season, the seals produce trill-like calls that last as long as 30 seconds and can carry underwater for distances of 25 km or more. It may be that only males make trill calls: much remains to be learned about bearded seals. Polar bears are their main predator.

MOVIE REVIEW- Work perk: <i>Morning Glory </i>is light comedy done right
Morning Glory is a funny entertainment to begin with, and then Rachel McAdams transforms it. And Harrison Ford transforms himself. She plays as lovable a lead as anyone since Amy Adams in Junebug, and he bestirs himself from his frequent morosity and creates with gusto a TV newsman who is described as a great man, but the third worst person of all time.

It isn't deep, and it doesn't approach Broadcast News in its examination of the TV producer mentality, but it's the kind of sitcom you can get happily carried along with.... [full review]
