Re: Jim Carrey on Instagram
Sometimes may be he doesn't want us all following everything he does and doesn't put links on every official thing, like I have accounts on diff social media but never join them up sometimes it's nice to have interaction with other people that haven't seen everything about you on something else.
Re: Jim Carrey on Instagram
Ya but Jim knows that in order to do that he has to go by a different name or we are gonna hunt him down lol I think he used that James Carrey one cause at the time there was no Jim Carrey is here. Maybe his people didn't know he made one already and so they made Jim Carrey is here and so Jim just stopped using the James Carrey one.

Wow, nice! I'm saving my listening time for tomorrow at work, but I'm glad that some folks took advantage of the audio-based question idea.
Regarding Daibas eyes, I guess I always assumed that their unusual quality, like Schierke's, was linked being a magic user. Though now that I think about it, Floras eyes dont have any really weird characteristics. I wonder how many weird eyes (or other body parts) well see on magic users in Elfhelm? Im really interested to see if Miura will address that, I can picture him having some fun with different character designs.
On a final note, I have to say that I enjoyed listening up till the very end when you mentioned Batman TAS on Netflix. Just bought the volume 1 boxset yesterday. Well, at least I can bury it in my back yard and sell it for an inflated price when internet streaming goes down the tubes. My day will come!
The thought of some kind of fight happening on the bridge in the distant future is exciting It's easy to imagine and seems very likely, at some point.
When I think about my favorite Berserk moment the first thing that comes to mind is when Skullknight appeared at the junction of times and took a strike at Femto. No doubt that preview was one of the craziest things I'd ever seen.
Those were some great questions, Tama and Oburi! Everybody had good picks, but what about Scar (2)? I'm a bit of a sap, I guess.
And Aaz, I cant believe it! 7 seasons of TNG wasnt enough punishment for you? Ill be honest, a lot of people dont like DS9 for whatever reason, but its one of my favorites. I liked the dynamic between Quark and Odo a lot.
I think the series really takes quite a while before it hits its stride, and I groaned my way through a lot of the first two seasons. I found Avery Brooks' (the guy who plays Sisko) acting to be pretty bad at first and I had some trouble with Odo as well, who I felt was just slogging through his "grumpy guy" repertoire. Plus a lot of episodes just weren't super interesting.
Funnily enough, my favorite character on the show so far is probably Dukat, the former head of the station from when it was under Cardassian rule. I don't know, he's just so good at being a dick, it's delectable, and yet he's surprisingly nuanced as well.
I laughed when you guys mentioned about people who may listen to the entire audio episode just staring at a blank screen, I usually am browsing the Internet at the same time for some of them, but what I really like to do is have my graphic novel next to me during the current re-read volumes so I can follow a long; hopefully that doesn't sound weird
I have the same issue. I can't listen to a podcast while browsing and reading, after a while I'll realize I hadn't comprehended anything that was said. I need to give it my full attention and unfortunately my commute isn't long enough so I do end up just staring at the screen the whole time lol.
I also listen to a lot of podcasts while cleaning. Do you do dishes or laundry often...?
My grandmother does those things. Perhaps I could listen to the podcasts while she's cleaning? Good thinking Walter.
Glad you guys had been watching BTAS. I highly recommend following it up with Superman TAS, Batman Beyond, Justice League, and Justice League Unlimited. It's so much fun to see the whole thing through.
I saw a good deal of these back in the day. The Justice League and JLU series were my favorite (not counting the original Batman series). Was never a big fan of Batman Beyond though.

Hidden Gem Of CNY: The Great Swamp Conservancy
Nestled just outside the town of Canastota sits a 200 acre tract of land, that to some, is completely unknown. When considered by it's name alone, the Great Swamp Conservancy doesn't sound quite as appealing as the Boxing Hall of Fame. But, the nature preserve is a beautiful and pristine gem hidden in Upstate New York.
The Great Swamp Conservancy has been around since 1997, priding itself on being the only nature center in Madison County. Michael Patane founded the center in 1997, and served as the group's Executive Director until earlier this year, when he handed the reins to Tiffany White.
White, who has been involved with the group since starting as a volunteer in 2008, says the aptly named center is nothing like what it seems.
"Swamps definitely have a negative connotation," White said. "But, really, a swamp is just a wooded wetland. So, a lot of people will try to call an area a marsh or something like that, because a marsh sounds nicer than a swamp."
The Great Swamp Conservancy sits on more than 200 acres of land and features a variety of habitats, offering something for everyone.
"We have wetland, we have grassland, we have shrub land and we have a mature forest," White said. "So, it's really cool to just be able to walk, in a matter of two hours, through all these different kinds of ecosystems. The swamp is definitely not the only thing we have."
Avid animal watchers will also have a field day at the Great Swamp Conservancy, as the vast options of habitation provide homes to plenty of woodland creatures.
"They will see, most likely, muskrat because we have a lot of small depressions that are wetlands, and the muskrat like them because there's cattails that grow and that's what muskrats like to eat," White said. "We have lots of different birds. I always see Great Blue Heron and osprey, lots of different songbirds. We also have beavers… you can see all of the trees that they've chewed down."
Throughout the year, the center hosts a variety of nature-themed events to raise money and support for continued growth and improvement. Later this month, on September 15th, the group plans to host it's annual Fall Migration Festival, with events, displays and a chicken barbecue.
Though the Great Swamp Conservancy relies on large events like the Migration Festivals to generate cash, they have other ways to continue providing a home to wild animals.
"We're always looking for new volunteers and new members," White said. "An individual membership is only $15, and that's one of our biggest ways of getting funding and keeping us going. So, it's really important to us. We're [also] always looking for help, so there are definitely lots of ways to be involved here. That's how I became involved. I was originally a volunteer, then interned here."
New funds are deposited back into the conservatory, to continue raising awareness for both the local environment and the wildlife calling this area home. Currently, the group is looking to expand by building a museum.
"We have all of these artifacts that Mike Patane, the founder, has been collecting throughout the years and they just want to be displayed," White said. "That's our next step. And the first part of that is going to be just winterizing the event center itself, so we'll go from there."
But for White, the goal is to simply let the community and surrounding counties know they're here providing a tranquil spot to relax and take it the quiet joy of nature.
"I feel like not enough people even realize we're here or what we have, like that there's trails here that you can hike on for free," White said. "You can just come and walk them."
It's the constant improvement that White and her team take pride in, as they continue to polish one of Madison County's greatest gems.

With all this talk of Wii 2 and consoles holding PC graphics and development back, it's easy to forget the fact we're stuck with the Xbox 360 and PS3 for another three years. Just because they're getting a little long in the tooth, though, doesn't make them slouches in the graphics department.
This is a technical demonstration put together by tri-Ace, the Japanese development studio best known for its Star Ocean role-playing games. Normally renowned for its gorgeous cinematics, this clip shows they're no slouches when it comes to making real-time graphics sing, either.
You can read the specifics of it all here, but to surmise, tri-Ace claim this is all done in real-time on an engine that runs on the Xbox 360 and PS3, with not a second's worth of pre-rendered or otherwise doctored footage.
Remember, though, this is a custom-built technical demonstration. In the real world, a game's memory has to be filled with, well, a game and not just a fancy showreel.
Still, if you want to know what the PS3 and Xbox 360 are still capable of - and could feasibly pull of for real-time, in-engine cutscenes - check out the video above.
[thanks KingKellogg the Waffle Haggler!]

Apple announced their much-rumored in-house Maps application at WWDC today.
Maps includes a lot of great new features, including 3D buildings, turn-by-turn navigation, local search with some back-up from Siri. Maps also includes live traffic information that's anonymously crowd-sourced from iPhone and iPad owners. The live traffic data will also update your estimated time of arrival as you progress on your journey. Your navigation view will also show on the lock screen which is really nice. Asking your iPhone "are we there yet?" will even work through Siri, but you'll likely be spending more time using Siri for local search, such as to find the nearest gas station.
Our WWDC liveblog has it all! Check out the rest of the announcements there!

First, I put a common header in the user and photo pages, so that users can jump directly to their pictures, to the home page, and sign out / sign in easily. I remember Johan said sharing the header will improve the feeling of "being part of Panoramio" (the words are mine). I still have to find someway to integrate this header in the home page... I hope you like it, because I tried several ideas and I passed several hours in The Gimp to do it.
Now you also have RSS feeds in the user's page, so you can follow the photos of your favourite users from bloglines or your favourite aggregator. And speaking about favourite users, you can now add users to your favourites clicking on their star or add them using the input box in the right column if you are logged (Actually, I put the RSS feeds and favourite's users a while ago, but I have not blogged about it).
I also improved a bit the algorithm to choose the photos to display in Google Earth, and raised the number of photos downloaded when you stop over an area.
And something Eduardo was begging for a while, a way for people to spread the word about Panoramio. Now (only when logged) you will have in your right column a "show these photos to a friend" link. That will let you spa^H^H^H tell your friends how great is Panoramio.
On the bad news, you can see that when you use sign in / sign out / stars it works reloading the page, so the results are not as smooth as they can be. At first I had a full javascript solution working, but there were too many bugs. There are just too many things to coordinate to keep these 3 things fully in javascript, so by now I will let the server-side fallback do its job. Later I will javascriptize the stars (I don't think sign in / out are really worth the effort).
Well, I hope you like these things, because they sucked away my week-end and latest evenings (again!)
This evening I decided to code a bit on the javascript engine. I have fully finished variable instantiation now. It was not yet done, that why I was using that weird "var a = function fact(x) { ... }" instead of just "function fact(x) { ... }".
Now the TODO is starting to look reasonable...
- Unicode support
- Track correctly line numbers for errors
- Human readable error messages
- Fix string to number conversions
- Handle efficiently big sparse arrays (firefox also has this bug)
- toLocaleString is not just toString...
- Build a pretty-printer and use it instead of the compressor for js_function_to_string
- Fix arithmetic that uses uint32
- Implement real objects for standard Errors (right now I'm throwing string objects)
- Joined objects
- Implement Array.prototype.concat and Array.prototype.reverse
- Implement all the native objects, right now I only have Object, Function and Array (and their prototypes, constructors, instances, etc.). This TODO item is big.
- Label sets support
New expressions (this is the last expression not yet implemented, probably just a few minutes to make it work)
- Run the SpiderMonkey regression tests, cry and fix bugs
Well... it looked reasonable in my head.
New expressions are now fully implemented:
function test_constructor(a) { this.hello = a; }
var o = new test_constructor("world");
var st = "";
for (var i in o)
st += i + " " + o[i];
"hello world"
Btw, do you know of any plugin to colorize javascript code in WordPress?

Care, General Care Projects in Tanzania by Kiera Lee
I spent four months volunteering in Tanzania, first at Green Pastures (TCRN) orphanage in Dar es Salaam then at a Maasai school in Arusha. Every day was fun and challenging, and getting to know these kids from a different culture was an incredible experience.
Care in Dar es Salaam
In the first week of my placement at Green Pastures orphanage I felt that they already had a solid routine where the 'mama' would teach the younger children, while the older ones were at school. Then after lunch the older kids did their homework while the younger ones napped. Everyone tended to treat me like royalty and I had to insist that I wanted to help with the chores and play games with the kids. The kids would run to meet me every morning, laughing and smiling.
Most days I arrived at 9am, and would either teach the younger kids sounds, numbers and letters or play with the older ones. All the kids loved to colour and paint. They also liked to play memory, card games and dodge ball (with an old sock). They would have lunch around 2pm and always liked when I ate with them. The food took a while to get used to; it was always beans and ugali! The youngest children often just wanted to be held, it was such a special moment when they fell asleep in my arms.
I had a range of pre-planned games and activities, but most of them turned out to be too difficult to explain. My advice is to keep any games extremely simple, although by the end of my placement I was amazed at how much their English had improved. They loved colouring books and bubbles. Planning becomes much easier once you have met the kids.
During my placement I planned some special days for the kids, we went to the beach, I cooked them a spaghetti lunch and we had sleepovers. The oldest kids (14 and 16 years old) spent all their time at school or doing chores and it was difficult to spend much time with them, so I took them for a day out to a water park. We had so much fun and they said, 'it was the best day ever!' and 'I'm going to have good dreams.' It was wonderful to see the kids so happy.
One of the best but most heart-breaking experiences was sleeping at the orphanage. The younger children, around 15 kids, shared a room. I wanted to be there to read them a bed time story, sing and pat them to sleep as my mum did with me. This was a completely foreign concept to the children and they savoured every bit of attention they got, as it seemed to be something they had never received. My advice is to make sure you are at the orphanage at different times of the day. My experience differed greatly depending on whether I was there in the morning, afternoon or evening.
Teaching in Arusha
After two months in Dar es Salaam, I moved to Arusha and worked at a Maasai school. When I first drove across the plains to get to the old church that was used as the school, I saw poverty everywhere. There were women walking with buckets on their heads, men herding cattle and children racing to school dressed in dirty, torn clothing. However, as I settled in to the school routine, I got to see the happy smiles on the kids' faces, their cheeky defiance when they didn't want to do their writing and the family love as they greeted their parents.
The school was split into classes by ability level with five classes altogether and only two local teachers. This meant the volunteers, there were always four or five, played a big role in the running of the school. The language barrier was difficult at first, but the teachers and volunteers helped me a lot and taught me to give simple directions, mostly: 'write', 'work', 'good' and 'stop' (for the naughty ones!).
I started in the 'baby' class teaching numbers and letters and then I was given the task of taking the 'intermediate' class by myself. At first I was overwhelmed with the responsibility but found myself loving the challenge. I was surprised by the level of maths that the kids could do, easily adding and subtracting big numbers. English was more difficult and took a lot of preparation time, so we wrote words out for the kids to trace and copy each night. Most of the kids worked hard and enjoyed school but there were a few naughty ones. The school day also included singing and reading books which they all loved. I took my IPad with me once and showed the kids Wiggles videos which they all stared at with fascination and sang and danced to.
While in Tanzania, I worked, lived and travelled with other volunteers and easily made some really good friends. We had social nights with all the volunteers, eating amazing food, playing volleyball and learning new local activities. Weekends were always busy and fun. I can remember hiking, going to the hot springs, the Maasai craft markets and the cultural centre. I held a new-born baby when we visited a Maasai village, got within a metre of a male lion that was resting after a fight when on Safari at Ngaruroro Crater and swam with wild dolphins in Zanzibar.
Final thoughts
My last day working at the orphanage is one I'll never forget. It wasn't until then, with all the children in tears that I realised what a huge impact my presence had on their life. One of the hardest things I've ever done is leaving all the kids; I look back now and miss everyone so much. I made some really good friends, had some experiences I will never forget and returned home with an amazing sense of accomplishment- and a great tan!

'Star Trek' Recut to Look Like a Sitcom [VIDEO]
While 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' would occasionally make a stab at humor, few would describe the sci-fi series, which ran between 1987 and 1994, as a comedy. But it turns out there was a great sitcom lurking beneath the intergalactic quandaries and technical jargon all along, and all it took was simple laugh track to unleash it.
A clever YouTuber cut together footage from the show with a cheesy laugh track, making the adventures of Captain Picard and crew way funnier than they were meant to be. Check out 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' as a sitcom, below:

Concord General Services' Highway and Utilities Division will begin flushing hydrants on Monday, April 23, 2018. Flushing was originally scheduled to begin on April 16th, but was delayed one week due to weather conditions. This is part of required routine maintenance to clear any sediment from water distribution pipes. For the next several weeks, crews will be flushing hydrants in different scheduled areas throughout Concord to improve water quality and check water pressure. Concord water customers may experience low water pressure and discoloration when flushing is occurring in their area. If discoloration occurs, customers should run their tap water on cold until the water runs clear. Residents should avoid doing laundry during their scheduled flushing time. A new hydrant flushing schedule will be posted online each week for water customers to find when flushing will occur in their area. Find hydrant flushing schedules and more information at www.concordnh.gov/springoperations.

Zine Yearbook is an anthology zine published annually by Clamor Magazine, highlighting the best in independent publishing and small press from the previous year.
There are thousands of small press, independent zines in publication today, and the Zine Yearbook seeks both to document these efforts and to provide some well-deserved visibility and recognition to people who make the zine world the vibrant community that it is.
Where most books on zines seek to categorize, label, and analyze the small publishing revolution, this series simply lets you decide for yourself by providing real excerpts from current publications. This book also serves as a great introduction for anyone looking for a place to get a foothold in the vast zine world. Contact information is provided for all zines included, as well as an extensive honorable mentions section.
After a three year hiatus and uncertain future, Zine Yearbook #9 is going to be edited by Sparky Taylor, Brittney Willis, Dillon Vrana, Steven Stothard, and Joe Biel and published by Microcosm Publishing in May 2008. It will continue in the same spirit and criteria despite the change in the editorial board - though new features will be added and it will be the largest Yearbook yet - at 228 pages - proving that zines are not dead.

Hottest Country Husbands
Beautiful voice, beautiful hair, beautiful skin, beautiful man ... some girls have all the luck. This list of the hottest husbands in country music shows that having a good man at home can be quite an inspiration. One or two may have a Hollywood pedigree, but most of these guys are lesser-know and come from a more blue collar background.
A cop, two drummers and a former football player make up part of this list of men we would love to see a little more of. Sara Evans, Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood's more macho halves make the cut, as do many more muscled husbands. Click the button below to see all the sexy men behind the most famous women in country music.

NicoleMichelle needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 77 designs submitted by 14 freelance designers.
Nicole Michelle Maternity
Nicole Michelle designs couture clothing for expecting mothers. The designs are timeless and sophisticated, with touches of fun! We are revamping not only the company logo and website but the entire company itself! NMM is being rebranded to give it an updated, modern appeal to match its beautiful clothing line. Once the "facelift" is complete, a transition can be made from the wholesale target market to the retail market.
NMM's target audiance is primarily expecting mothers with established income. These mothers are chic and saavy in their fashion choices and do not want to compromise that due to motherhood!
After seeing a few of the wonderful design entries, we realized that we were not as specific as possible with our vision of the logo....so here goes....
We would like to see something a little more "iconic." Iconic can be described as sophiscated yet whimiscal, like combining the Chanel (CC) or Louis Vuitton (LV) logos with the Juicy Couture logo.
The only aspect of the old logo (see attached) are the 3 butterflies. They need major updating, maybe more fantasy/whimsical, but they must be incorporated in some way in the design.
We were thinking that the logo should be able to be shortened, like LV = Louis Vuitton and CC = Coco Chanel. It would be great to have the N and M prominent so it can easly be shortened to NM when needed.
Thank you all so much!

On 20th. December of 1994, with the aim of coloring and reinvigorating the very essence of time, the fashion house "Rang" began it's colorful journey. The aim was to enhance and promote local heritage and culture. The name itself was chosen because of it's auspicious association with the concept of art and for the feeling of sheer delight it manages to evoke. The dream of 4 young friends realized in a mere shop of (10ft. X 10ft.) of Shantana market at Chashara, Naryanganj. A myriad of dreams was the only capital. And through a delightful culmination of color, dream and design, the fashion house was able to distinguish itself and exhibit real innovation and creativity. Today "Rang" is a phenomenon and a symbol of trust among the thousands of valued customer at home and abroad. The helm bearer and the dream maker of Rang now are Biplob Saha and Soumik Das. Rang has 12 showrooms, 9 in Dhaka, 1 in Chittagong, 1 in Sylhet and 1 in Naryanganj.
17 years back, a journey started with an initiative to fill a dream with colours. Today, because of the hard work of everyone, along with prayers and well wishes, that dream has turned into what is now known as Rang, known for its variety and rhythm of colours.
Bengali New Year is an amazing, one-of-a-kind phenomenon. The crowd, the festivity, the culture, the paper sculptures, the new dresses and the morning sun of New Year all combined together bring a hint of excitement to the people. To bring this event alive and fill it with colours, every year Rang brings a variety of surprises to colour the dreams of people.

It all depends on how well you know the interfaces on each program. I think PSP lacks features and is not as advanced. It is a good program for me because it is cheap and does almost the same as PS. I'm a student so I can't afford PS yet! Anything else you want to know about it? I consider myself experienced in the use of PSP.

Long time no blogging guys. :(( I missed blogging so much. I thought my site was already taken out by Google because I couldn't open it.
The Unexpected
We went to Subic last April to spend summer there. It wasn't what I expected though. Our plan were to go to Bicol Region but we weren't able to ride the train, plane nor the bus!!!!! My guy didn't booked for any. I hated him. We ended up taking a bus going to Subic instead. We fought and then reconcile.
We went to Zoobic Safari to experience the one on one interaction with wild animals!!!! We took so many pictures and I will post it soon. :)
Nate's Christening/Baptismal
From right to left: Glecy, me and Socel (the hot momma). Oh my.. I won't forget this day waaah. I was wearing a towering red pumps and I tripped on the pathway. It was really embarrassing. I acted like it was nothing because only Will, Jean, Victor and Glecy were there to witness that!!!!
Nate's Birthday Celebration
Me, Socel and Nate.... (with the baby-daddy's cameo on the background). Socel's five shades darker here and it was so sexy.. She just came back from Bora to explain the drastic change on her complexion. Nate's birthday was a blast. It was quick and most of the guests are adults (heaven). Yeah, it's kind of ironic 'coz it's a children's party but I soooooo love it. I'm actually thinking (right now) of throwing my upcoming bday bash at McDonald's. I love party hats.. Screw the mascots.
Eat, eat and eat...
Nom nom nom.... No wonder why we're big.
Araw ng mga Ina (Mother's Day)
My Mom went by to have a dinner date with us. We went out to celebrate "Mother's Day". I love you Mama!
Pacquiao lost to Bradley
I'm scared of uploading this 'coz this might cause a stir. "I don't hate Bradley. Seriously."
I just couldn't believe that he won over Pacquiao. It really sucks coz he lost ( yeah I keep repeating it coz I can't get over it) and if I only knew he'd lost.. I would've place a bet on Bradley.
I still love Pacquiao though... no matter what.
Here comes the TYPHOON !
We really need to get out of Marikina City as soon as possible! There's flood everywhere. I love Marikina but I don't want to experience an "Ondoy" encore. We are going back to Antipolo!
That's all for now..

Evening classes canceled Feb. 7, 2018. Learn more.

Conservatory of Performing Arts students had the unique opportunity spring semester to learn how to develop a new play with award-winning playwright and screenwriter David Caudle.
"Working with David was wonderful, he was very interested in what questions we had about our characters and the play," said M.F.A. in acting candidate Curtis Jackson. "David was very kind and appreciative toward our struggles as actors when dealing with rewrites."
Caudle hosted a workshop on his new play, Leg Man, with eight theatre students, Feb. 11-17 on campus. Adjunct faculty member Tammy Ryan served as the director.
"This workshop was about collaboration in the development process. Most plays students come across are finished, published and out of the writer's hands," said Caudle. "This experience highlights the importance of being 'present' in the room, developing strong cold reading skills, asking thoughtful questions and phrasing feedback in the most productive way to the writer."
The topics Caudle discussed resonated with the theatre students participating in the workshop.
"Working with David was an amazing experience and an incredible opportunity because we were able to talk about the characters in detail and really bring them to life," said junior acting major Tess DeStefano. "I learned how to approach a staged reading workshop with confidence."
Junior musical theatre major James Frost commented, "We learned the basic process of a collaborative workshop for a new play. It was interesting to focus on the text, letting the words tell the story instead of trying to act it out by adding things in our performance, which is something I tend to do when I act."
Caudle said his best advice to students considering a career in the arts is to love what you do.
"Do what you love, work with people you're drawn to, and don't compare yourself or your career trajectory to anyone else," he said. "We are all unique, and there is no one right path. Boost your friend's spirits and share their joys."

This summary has been archived and will not be updated, because the summarised document is no longer in force or does not reflect the current situation
Strengthening passenger rights within the European Union
Over the last 30 years there has been a mobility boom in Europe. Passenger travel has more than doubled since 1970 (from 2 118 billion passenger kilometres in 1970 to 4 993 billion in 2002). At the same time, the air transport sector has seen a number of changes: the emergence of low cost airlines, the restructuring of other airlines, the opening up of new routes, and the availability of information or tickets on the internet with a general reduction in fares. However, the quality of the services on offer and the protection of passengers' rights remain inadequate, particularly on international routes. In the light of this, the Commission published a White Paper on European transport policy in which it committed itself to placing users at the heart of transport policy.
Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council "Strengthening passenger rights within the European Union" [COM(2005) 46 final - not published in the Official Journal].
The single market has generated a sizeable growth in demand for both passenger and goods transport. However, passengers have been faced with difficult situations which, rather than being the exception, have unfortunately become the norm, such as cancellations, overbooking, loss of luggage, delays, etc.
Passenger rights should be protected in the following ways:
Specific measures in favour of persons with reduced mobility
A passenger protection policy must include specific measures to protect persons with reduced mobility. There are some 45 million citizens with reduced mobility, or around 10 % of the European population. This figure includes not only disabled persons but also those who would be incapable of travelling without assistance because of their age, reduced mental capacity or illness.
These people should be guaranteed appropriate assistance, wherever they go and whatever the form of transport used, so that they can travel with confidence throughout the EU. They should never be refused travel or a reservation because of their reduced mobility. Moreover, they should receive the assistance that they need free of charge, both in airports, stations and ports and on board the means of transport itself.
Automatic and immediate solutions where travel is interrupted
Where a service is interrupted because of delay, cancellation or denied boarding, the passengers should be entitled to automatic solutions to overcome the difficulties they encounter whatever the method of transport. They can always bring judicial proceedings against carriers.
Liability in the event of death or injury of passengers
As a general rule, carriers are insured against the risk of physical damage to passengers; however, the requirements vary considerably at national level.
With the exception of the aviation sector, there is no guarantee of a sufficient and uniform level of insurance in all circumstances. As regards maritime transport, the Commission has already proposed that the Community and the Member States become contracting parties to the Athens Protocol relating to the carriage of passengers and their luggage by sea.
In the same way, coach travellers are faced with different national rules and do not know before which court they should bring their action. In view of this, the Commission will examine how to guarantee an adequate level of cover and a uniform approach to liability in international coach transport.
Treatment of complaints and means of redress
Once passengers have been made aware of their rights, the exercise of such rights should be made as simple as possible. Most of the time the judicial proceedings are complex or very lengthy. Hence the usefulness of extra-judicial mechanisms for solving disputes which offer significant advantages: speed, transparency, reasonable cost and flexibility. In the light of this, the Commission has established a European network of national bodies aimed at facilitating access to non-judicial procedures for the resolution of cross-border disputes.
Passenger information
Passengers should not only know the identity of the carrier who will operate the flight but also be certain that information which could affect the safety of the carrier and which could therefore concern them is indeed communicated rapidly and effectively between States.
The Commission has initiated a number of measures concerning passenger information, namely:
Communication from the Commission - Developing the trans-European transport network: Innovative funding solutions - Interoperability of electronic toll collection systems [COM(2003) 132 final - Not published in the Official Journal].
Directive 2004/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the interoperability of electronic road toll systems in the Community [Official Journal L 166 of 30.4.2004].

www.freegamez.be needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 54 designs submitted by 25 freelance designers.
We would like to launch a new game website and we are looking for a top quality, new, refreshing and attractive design for the website. The goal of the site is to attract a very large target audience, children as well as adults. We would like it to become popular, but the design also has to be attractive for advertisers, who will bring in our revenues, and there has to be enough space to put advertisements. The domain name is http://www.ik.be and we already have a logo with a donkey. The designer can have a lot of freedom, because we like new ideas. The winner of this contest will provide us with a very good, unique design, with a well thought out layout that shows evidence of originality. For the contest winner there might be future work, depending on further projects.
You can find the UPDATED .ai vector logo at http://www.freegamez.be/ik/ikeNEW.ai
Some general extra Ideas:
1) try to use or fit in somewhere a column structure;
2) may be use our logo donkey on other places.
Desired Colour Scheme
designer has freedom about the colours, but make sure they are really attractive to children, adults and advertisers
Desired Style fresh, creative, unique
The website will mainly consist out of three pages: a main index, a category page and a game page

- use your imagination, creativity and uniqueness and you will win the contest as your design will meet our dreams!
- we certainly want to have a kind of column structure in the designs, you can put it in there according to your imagination and creativity. We do not want to say that the entire design has to be column structured (we would not want that either), just design what you feel, but put in somehow columns. We have a few examples of what we want to say with 'column structure', but please REMEMBER that we are still looking for originality and creativity!! Examples of sites are http://www.freegamez.be ; http://www.spelletjespelen.be ; http://www.speltuin.nl ; http://www.elkspel.nl/ ; http://www.spele.nl .
- We want to have about 5 or 6 buttons in the menu header ;
- We want to have a space (not too large either) where we can put a picture of the head of a player of the month or week (an 'ik' which means 'i'). We imagined it e.g. as a small circle in which the piture of the head is supposed to come and with the donkey's ears out of the circle, but completely other ideas are certainly welcome!
- We want to include a tags section.
- We want a search bar.
- a copy paste design of an existing website.

Cook the Book: Complete Hummus
It seems only right to begin a week of recipes from Janna Gur's The Book of New Israeli Food with hummus, the ancient chickpea dip. But there's a big difference between the plastic container supermarket stuff and the real deal.
In Israel, hummus is treated as a blank canvas for all sorts of toppings. This Complete Hummus begins with a great recipe for basic hummus—dried chickpeas soaked overnight and blended with tahini, lemon juice, and garlic—which are topped off with a pool of spicy lemon-cumin-hot pepper sauce, drizzles of olive oil and raw tahini, and a sprinkle of parsley and chopped onion, and even whole chickpeas if you'd like.
Served with fresh, warm pita, this is the kind of hummus that could easily make for a fantastic summer meal on its own. And one taste of the bright, fresh flavors and exciting textures will have you seriously reconsidering that supermarket gunk.

- Yield:8 to 10
- Active time: 20 minutes plus an overnight soak
- Total time:3 hours
- Basic Hummus Dip
- 1/2 kg (1 lb 2 oz) small dry chickpeas
- 1 tablespoon + 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup raw top quality tahini
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 cloves garlic, crushed
- Salt to taste
- The Sauce:
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cumin
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon hot red pepper, chopped
- 1 tablespoon garlic, crushed
- 4-5 Shipka peppers (small hot green, pickled peppers), seeded and chopped
- To Serve:
- Raw tahini
- Olive oil
- Chopped fresh parsley
- Chopped onion
For the Basic Hummus Dip:Soak the chickpeas overnight in a large bowl of cold water with one tablespoon of baking soda.
Drain and rinse the chickpeas and put them in a large pan. Add water until it reaches 2-3 cm (1 inch) above the chickpeas. Add the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda and bring to a boil. Cook covered over low heat for 2-3 hours, until the chickpeas are very soft. Cool slightly, drain and save some of the cooking liquid.
Put the chickpeas in a food processor, add 2/3 cup of the tahini and process until almost smooth. If the paste is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the cooking liquid. Season with lemon, garlic and salt; taste and adjust the seasoning. For a richer creamier version, add the remaining tahini and process until the hummus is
completely smooth and fluffy.
For the Complete Hummus: Mix the ingredients for the sauce and set aside for one hour.
Spoon 2-3 heaping tablespoons of hummus dip into each serving plate and
spread around the rim, leaving a crater in the center. Fill the crater with one tablespoon of raw tahini. Pour on 2-3 tablespoons of the sauce, sprinkle some olive oil and top with chopped parsley and onion.
For Complete Hummus with Whole Chickpeas: Add 2-3 tablespoons of warm cooked chickpeas to each plate of hummus dip. Pour the sauce and the olive oil on top and serve with chopped parsley and onion.

A group of 200 dignitaries marked the formal opening Friday, April 19, of the Mitsubishi Electric Power Products Inc. plant in Southwest Memphis.
The crowd included representatives from Southern California Edison and Dominion Virginia Power, the first two customers to order transformers from the $200 million plant.
They, along with Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr., Tennessee Economic Development Commissioner Bill Hagerty and executives from parent company Mitsubishi Electric Corp. of Japan, donned ceremonial jackets and wooden mallets for the opening of several wooden saki barrels at a luncheon that featured sushi and barbecue.
The plant is Mitsubishi's first North American facility to manufacture the large power transformers that are sold to utility companies and other power providers.
"We are making key investments like this one across North America," said Kenichiro Yamanishi, president and CEO of Mitsubishi Electric Corp. "We are building closer to our customers."
David Mead, senior vice president of Southern California Edison, said his company previously bought 500 kilovolt transformers, like the ones it has ordered from Mitsubishi Memphis, that were made in Spain, South Korea and Japan.
The plant will begin work later this year on the transformers that weigh several hundred tons and can be shipped only by rail or barge. It now employs 60 people who are undergoing training; the number will grow to 275 at full production.
Wharton noted that the plant has enough land and room in the building's design for expansion.
"We can compete with anybody in the world," he said of the plant's workforce and the city's place with the new plant in the heavy high skill manufacturing sector.
Mitsubishi is one of two big economic development projects the city landed in 2010. Electrolux is expected to begin production in May at its plant in nearby Frank C. Pidgeon Industrial Park, where workers will make ovens and stoves for home and commercial use.

My Review
Sep 29, 2016
Making these as Christmas gifts this year. Cute and delicious.
Jul 17, 2016
Time consuming but worth it. Super cute
Nov 29, 2013
I've made these every year since they were in the Dec 2005 magazine and my daughter was 3. I use vanilla and almond bark instead of chocolate/white chocolate chips, use toothpicks to help me coat them and now my 11 year old daughter makes them (with a little help). We love them and so does everyone who comes to our house in the holiday season.
Sep 20, 2010
These are awesome. Big hit with kids and adults... They look great on a nice platter with coconut just like in the picture. Time consuming but worth it. Made these 3 years in a row.
Apr 6, 2009
This is a great recipe. I have made the coconut base for the last few years at Christmas time and everyone loves it. I have never done the entire snowman look since my friends and family were older. Now that I have a son that is old enough to help out and have fun this will definately be our choice for holiday fun.

I bet this is a big hit with the kids.Debby Poewww.chefdujour.us

As expected, Judge Susan Garsh has refused to step aside from the murder case against former Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez. As not expected, prosecutors won't appeal the ruling to a higher court.
Via FOX Sports, Judge Garsh rejected arguments that she has shown bias against lead prosecutor William McAuley in a prior case he handled before her.
"Considerations other than the law have not and will not color any of my rulings," she concluded.
"I have examined my emotions and consulted my conscience, and I am satisfied that I harbor no bias as a result of anything that happened in the 2010 case or . . . McCauley's statements outside of court following that case."
The surprise came when District Attorney Sam Sutter announced that the decision would not be appealed. Typically, efforts to remove a judge inevitably go to the next level, since judges usually aren't inclined to admit that they have some bias or prejudice or interest that would affect their ability to be fair and impartial.
So why make the effort to have Judge Garsh step down? Given the high-profile nature of the case, it may have been aimed at ensuring the media will pay close attention to her handling of the case, pointing out possible instances of bias in her rulings. Which in turn may force her to be go so far out of her way to be perceived as fair that it actually helps the prosecution.
The risk, of course, comes from the possibility of alienating the judge at an early stage of the case. That risk may have been balanced out by the decision not to push the issue beyond her courtroom.
While the case ultimately will be decided by a jury, the judge always is in position to make a huge impact on the outcome. From pre-trial rulings regarding evidence that will and won't be allowed to be given to the jury and witnesses that will and won't be testifying to efforts made to strike potential jurors "for cause" based on their beliefs and/or relationships to the many instances during a trial of questions that draw objections, the judge has enormous influence over the final verdict, and in many cases a wide range of discretion in making decisions.
The reality for the prosecutors is that, by firing a shot across the judge's bow, the result could be that she'll still make rulings they don't like — but that she'll be more careful about making them in a way that can be defended against outside scrutiny.

Cool update! But so far away . I'm current on the raw version up to Vol 10, so I've read it - sans the English translation >_<.
Thanks for the heads up Walter! Any favorite moments in this volume?
Just one big one really. I got goosebumps when the old coach tells Nomiya that he can "see the whole game." It was nice to see his natural strength coming out ahead of his natural weakness.Perhaps it was the one year break between releases, but in this volume in particular, I had a problem with how the chapters were paced. Individual chapters, weighing in at around 30 pages each, usually contain pieces of all three character arcs. This structure makes sense within the body of an individual chapter, but when you put multiple chapters together, the pacing starts to seem meandering and artificially frantic. I get the feeling that Inoue wants to include a glimpse into each character's story in each chapter, whether that makes sense with the overall pacing of the volume or not. Occasionally Inoue will weaves together related narrative beats in ways that complement each other nicely (an example in v10 being Togawa reflecting on his own depression while in the clinic that Takahashi is still at). But I'm beginning to feel that these connections are too few and far between to warrant the way the entire series is structured. Normally I wouldn't second guess a writer's decisions, because clearly he knows better than me how best to tell his story. But I couldn't help but feel the pacing problems were especially pronounced in this volume. I think it would be an improvement if the character stories were grouped together, rather than be interspersed for the sake of cramming in a glimpse of each story per chapter. It's hardly analogous, but imagine if for each episode, Miura felt compelled to stitch in Griffith's story every 5-6 pages, then switch over back to Guts, and on and on...
Incredible news! According to Oricon's ranking for the period Nov 22nd 2010 - Nov 20th 2011, REAL ranks # 47 in the Japan Manga Sales Ranking By Series with 1,020,367 units and # 40 in the Japan Manga Sales By Volume with 578,105 units.
Volume 12 came out three days ago, picked it up last night but haven't had a chance to read it yet. Since it's been a while, I plan to re-read the series for a quick recap.
Real, love it! Volume 12 continues to be fantastic proving that Takehiko Inoue is a master at his craft. Real is even better than Vagabond and I don't say that lightly. It's like he took everything that made vagabond amazing and then took everything that made Slam Dunk amazing, and rolled it all into one. The pacing is perfect and watching Takahashi finally getting over his trauma and growing is some of the best writing I've ever seen in a manga or in story telling period. It's incredible how Inoue is able to capture all the emotions so perfectly. I literally fist pumped the air saying "YES" when Takahashi finally realized it wasn't over and he could still play basketball. Something he could strive for and the build up was fantastic. Every character just feels so genuine and...dare I say real. Definitely picking up volume 12. If it wasn't for Kentaro and Berserk, Inoue would definitely be the greatest mangaka alive.

US Open tennis official accused of beating husband to death with coffee mug
LOS ANGELES — A professional tennis referee from Los Angeles has been arrested in New York City on a felony warrant charging her with murdering her elderly husband in April.
The district attorney's office said Tuesday that 70-year-old Lois Ann Goodman was taken into custody as she prepared to work as a referee at the U.S. Open tennis tournament.
She was charged with murdering her 80-year-old husband, Alan Goodman, in their Woodland Hills home. Prosecutors allege she bludgeoned him to death with a coffee mug on April 17.
Goodman is in custody in New York awaiting extradition proceedings to return her to Los Angeles. Prosecutors said they would ask that her bail be set at $1 million. A warrant for her arrest was issued on Aug. 14.

In sports, everyone is a winner-some people just win better than others. Like Antonio Cromartie's many many children, who each got a mention on last night's Hard Knocks, even if he had to use his fingers and toes to count them.
This was no surprise to anyone; remember, the Jets restructured his contract to give him up-front money to settle his myriad paternity suits. But it was still amusing, and not a little sad, to see him struggle to list their names and ages. Seriously, it looks like he's calculating the orbit of Jupiter, or trying to divide by zero.
To his credit, he seems vaguely aware of all of them. Sure, he doesn't give (know?) a birth year for little London, and one of his 3-year-olds is referred to only as "[his] daughter." But that's not bad.
About those 3-year-olds. Holy cow. I thought with an 18-1 record, the Patriots had the best 2007-2008 season. But with three 3-year-olds (and a fourth in December), it's clear now that nobody was as successful over that span as Antonio Cromartie.
For Cromartie's next challenge, we'll ask him to list the names of the mothers of his children.

One game is an abberation. Two games is the start of a trend.
Dwayne Roloson stopped all 23 shots he faced for the shutout victory, giving him two shutout victories over the Caps since joining the Lightning.
First Period
03:58 TB Moore (8), Thompson (10), Roloson (1)
16:04 TB Bergenheim (8), Hedman (13), Downie (14)
Second Period
18:18 TB Gagne (4), Bergenheim (10), Lecavalier (12)
Third Period
Mattias Ohlund, Roloson, and Nate Thompson were the game's three stars.
It's a brave new world in the Southeast Division. After several seasons of beating the Lightning's brains in, and two emphatic wins over the Lightning in the first half of the season, Dwayne Roloson appears to have completely changed the tenor of the Lightning/Capitals series. One game might've been an abberation. Two games looks like a trend, to me. The Lightning now are playing with a supreme amount of confidence against the Caps, knowing that they can play their swarming style without having to fear that a seemingless harmless Caps rush can turn into a soft goal. That's made all the difference in the world, and the Lightning were like fire ants on the Caps in the first forty minutes tonight, before slamming the door shut with a 3-0 lead in the third. My thought is that the Lightning should be tentative favorites to win the Southeast now, and take away not less than the three seed in the East in the process.
Also, damn is it good to have Sean Bergenheim back in the lineup. As weird as it sounds, I think the lack of energy in the Devils game owed a lot to the fact #10 was sick. The line combinations lacked continuity and flow with the shuffling that took place, and Bergenheim's puck retreival skills were sorely missed. Fact of the matter is, he's one of the straws that stirs the drink. Other than Clark, he's probably the most important acquisition Yzerman made over the summer. Yes, more important than Kubina and Gagne.
Dana Tyrell had 1 shot and 3 hits in 14:02 in his final game as a prospect here on BoltProspects. Congratulations to Dana on becoming a full-time NHLer. If he continues to work on his shot and his finishing abilities, he has the look of a player who will have a long and successful career.
