The BayProg CD
The BayProg compilation CD can be found in the Spring 2002 issue of Exposé Magazine. It's called BayProg -- Progressive Rock from the San Francisco Bay Area, and features contributions from Michael P. Dawson, Gravity Tree, Metaphor, Mind Furniture, Monocaine, Amy X Neuburg & Men, New Sun, Puppet Show, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum, Spirits Burning, Tesseract and Trap.
What is this BayProg?
BayProg is the original regional progressive rock web site, first appearing in early 1999.
The goals of BayProg are, roughly:
- To serve the needs of musicians who play in local progressive rock bands. As a musician I want to know what other bands are doing, maybe pair up with another band for a gig, find musicians for my band, keep track of venues, and keep track of places to advertise gigs.
- To serve the community of local progressive rock music fans by promoting concerts, finding record stores that carry prog titles, reporting local happenings, etc.
- Provide an email list as a forum for announcements and discussions.
- Provide helpful information for touring bands interested in coming to the area.
- Provide an alternative to the standard forms of musical promotion (FM radio, for instance) which appear to be increasingly uninterested in any type of serious music.
- To support side projects. One example, Malcolm Smith (of Metaphor) has put together the BayProg sampler CD featuring 12 San Francisco Bay area bands.
- Local pride; the San Francisco Bay area is large and culturally rich, and we love living here. It's the fifth largest metropolitan area in the U.S. and includes three major cities and over 7 million people. (See Table 3 of US Census 2000: Ranking tables for Metropolitan Areas for some fascinating details.)
- Also, there are a number of progressive rock fans who are pessimistic, or even downright gloomy, about the future of the genre and I want to prove them wrong (you know who you are).
The BayProg web site has evolved to a pretty hefty size; it's now about 25 pages worth of good stuff. And the BayProg email list has a little over 150 members.
I want to make BayProg as good as it can be, so please send me any news, updates, additions, ideas or corrections.
This site is now written using XHTML1.0 Strict to be compatible with mobile wireless browsing devices and the newer browser standards. As a side effect, the display will be readable but less charming in ancient browsers (like Netscape Navigator 4.0 for instance). Such is life. As always, please tell me if anything comes out badly.

Two stray dogs recently brought to the Animal Welfare Society of Monroe's Stroud Township shelter were in such poor shape that one had to be euthanized and the other died just moments after being dropped off.
Two stray dogs recently brought to the Animal Welfare Society of Monroe's Stroud Township shelter were in such poor shape that one had to be euthanized and the other died just moments after being dropped off.
"The dogs were brought to us on Fridays a week apart," said AWSOM Vice President Jeannie Lee.
The first was a chihuahua, about 13 to 14 years old, which had been found near the Stroudsburg McDonald's, Lee said. Seeing its grave condition, a veterinarian said it was more humane to euthanize the dog rather than let it live much longer in pain.
The second appeared to be a Yorkshire terrier with hair so matted with filth that its eyes weren't visible. The dog was coughing up blood and died shortly after being brought to the shelter.
"What concerned us was that we found absolutely no one at all looking for these dogs," Lee said. "It made us wonder if the dogs' owners had been homeless and decided to just let the dogs go because they could no longer care for them. We're aware that homeless shelters in our area don't allow or aren't equipped to handle pets, and that homeless people have no access to veterinary care, food or grooming for their pets."
With this in mind, AWSOM has planned a free pet health care clinic for the homeless from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 6, at the Salvation Army Citadel on Washington Street in East Stroudsburg.
Dr. Pat McCabe of Canadensis Veterinary Clinic and Dr. Eric Wayne of Pocono Veterinary Services will donate their time to provide updated vaccinations, flea/tick treatments and other services.
Pets will also receive grooming needs and care packages including pet food, collapsible bowls, collars, leashes and other items.
"AWSOM's going to be signing up pet owners so we can get them pet food on a monthly basis," Lee said. "We'll find out where the owners are staying so we can deliver the food to them if they can't find a way to get to us."
Faith Kimes, wife of the Rev. Edward Kimes at East Stroudsburg United Methodist Church, works with the homeless and was recently notified about this upcoming free pet health care clinic.
"I think it's incredible what they're doing," Kimes said. "I've told the homeless people I'm in contact with about it, and they're very excited. It's really touched a nerve because pet care is a huge concern with the homeless. So far, I've counted about 35 to 40 pets who could benefit from this clinic.
"This is really a great thing because homeless people love their pets just as much as many people with homes love their pets, and they deserve access to the same care for their pets that others have," she said.
AWSOM is accepting donated new or used dog collars of all sizes, leashes and clean pet-sized blankets for the care packages to be handed out at the clinic. These can be dropped off at the Godfrey Ridge Road shelter in Stroud Township or by calling 570-421-3647.
Monetary donations for buying vaccinations and other supplies can be sent to AWSOM's Yelp For Help Fund. Lee can be contacted at 570-730-3255 or email@example.com for information.

TrueCrypt is a software system for establishing and maintaining an on-the-fly-encrypted drive. On-the-fly encryption means that data are automatically encrypted or decrypted right before they are loaded or saved, without any user intervention. No data stored on an encrypted volume can be read (decrypted) without using the correct password or correct encryption key. Until decrypted, a TrueCrypt volume appears to be nothing more than a series of random numbers. The entire file system is encrypted (i.e., file names, folder names, contents of every file, and free space).
This software is highly recommended for securing data on laptops.
TrueCrypt performs the following tasks:
- Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
- Encrypts an entire partition or storage device such as USB flash drive or hard drive.
- Encrypts a partition or drive where Windows is installed (pre-boot authentication).
- Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
- Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password: 1) Hidden volume (steganography) and hidden operating system. 2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
- Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: XTS.
Please Note: According to the programs author, TrueCrypt is not secure because it could contain unfixed security issues, therefore you should download TrueCrypt only if you are migrating data encrypted by TrueCrypt.
As The development of TrueCrypt was ended in 5/2014 you should migrate any data encrypted by TrueCrypt to encrypted disks or virtual disk images supported on your platform.
We don't have any change log information yet for version 7.2 of TrueCrypt. Sometimes publishers take a little while to make this information available, so please check back in a few days to see if it has been updated.
Can you help?
If you have any change log info you can share with us, we'd love to hear from you! Head over to our Contact page and let us know.

Byron Woman To Make Quilts For Newtown | News
A Byron woman said that she was touched by the tragedy of the Newtown mass shooting and wanted to help comfort the families of the victims.
Julie Love decided that she would spearhead a project to make comfort quilts for the victims. She said it all started when she realized that one of the victims was from her hometown in Utah.
"I really felt a bigger connection to it I felt like well I will make Emilie a quilt and then I thought no I am going to make quilts for all of our victims," said Love.
She said the design of the quilt will have primarily green and white and that she has done research on the victim's to find out some of their favorite things to include on their individual quilt.
They will kick start the quilt-making process on January 19th and Love said she thinks it will take several months to complete of all of them.
She said she is looking for volunteers to help create the quilts and gather green and white fabric. For more information on how you can help go to email@example.com.

April 14, 2011
Malibu, Calif. - The No. 6 Gauchos were not able to sustain the momentum gained by upsetting No. 3 Stanford last week in Thursday night's match against Pepperdine. UCSB dropped their penultimate match of the season in straight sets, with game scores of 29-27, 25-16, and 25-21. UCSB's record now falls to 14-13, 11-10 MPSF and are now in danger of falling to an even .500 record for the first time since early February. No. 13 Pepperdine improved to 10-15, 6-15 MPSF with the win.
The Gauchos were led by senior opposite Cullen Irons, who led the match with 17 kills. It was the first time since Mar. 11 against Penn State that Cullen led the team in kills. Combined with his 23 kills in his last match, Irons has racked up 40 kills over his past two outings- his highest two-match output of the season.
Senior outside Jeff Menzel chipped in 11 kills, and middles Dylan Davis and Scott Slaughter also had strong attacking nights. Davis, a sophomore, recorded seven kills on a .500 hitting percentage, while Slaughter, a senior, had nine kills on a match-leading .615 hitting percentage. Senior setter Vince Devany recorded 44 assists, and senior libero led the Gauchos with five digs.
For the Waves, their play at the net was the difference in the match. Pepperdine outblocked the Gauchos 12.5 to 2.5 as a team, and held UCSB to a .282 hitting percentage while maintaining a lofty .438 clip of their own. The Waves were led by Matt Pollock, who recorded a match-high eight blocks to go along with nine kills. Chase Ross and Maurice Torres turned in 11 kills each to pace the Waves. No Gaucho recorded more than two blocks, while six Pepperdine players were able to record two or more.
Heading into the final match of the season against No. 1 USC on Saturday, Apr. 16, the Gauchos are set to play at either No. 2 BYU or No. 3 Stanford in the first round of the MPSF playoffs-both teams that the Gauchos have defeated in the regular season. The final standings are contingent on both the Gauchos' Saturday match and the result of No. 7 Long Beach State's final match.
Launched in January of 2009, the BE Great initiative is dedicated to maximizing leadership ability, strong on-campus interaction and general welfare for all 450 student-athletes and Intercollegiate Athletics staff at UC Santa Barbara. BE Great also focuses on personal and career development, diversity and social awareness and ensuring academic success. UCSB boasts an 83% student-athlete graduation rate.
As a championship-caliber program, UCSB Athletics recognizes the responsibility that goes with it. This simply means all student-athletes, staff and fans will behave with a champion's approach, creating a safe environment at games and events. All of those who attend, compete or work at Gaucho events are caretakers of the passionate, exciting and great experience that UCSB is known for. This is The Gaucho Way.

See http://forums.lotro.com/showthread.php?t=93693
Where are the housing brokers located?
Housing Brokers are available near the entrance to each neighborhood.
What happens if I don't pay the upkeep?
Your house vanishes and the items that were inside can be retrieved from Escrow.
Can you rotate decorations?
When do new housing zones open?
A new housing zone opens when the current zone sells out. In my opinion this is a bug: new zones should open when all houses of a particular tier are purchased.
Can you upgrade a house?
Can your alts use "return to house"?
Can you put workbenches or a forge in your house? Or vendors?
No. My thoughts on this are mixed. On one hand, it would be very convenient. On the other hand, it may make places like Thorin's hall extremely desolate.
What level do you have to be to purchase a house?
Level 15.
What permissions are there on houses?
There are 5 permissions that can be assigned on a individual, kinship, or everyone basis:
- Visitor: Enter/exit house
- Housing Chests: Put items into or take items from a container
- Upkeep: Can pay upkeep
- Decorate: Ability to decorate the house
- Manage Permissions: Ability to change permissions
Can I pay upkeep in advance?
Yes. Up to six weeks.
What happens if you abandon a house?
It will put all of your items from the house in an escrow account that you have to access within 6 days to retrieve the items. It also returns all monies you have paid into the escrow account for maintenance fees. It does not, however, return any of the money that you paid for the house. (Yugi) There is also a 24 hour cooldown before you can purchase another house.
Are neighborhoods racially restricted?

My Review
Feb 26, 2017
My family didn't like this! It actually looked better before I added the quinoa. The quinoa made the texture of the chili weird and it seemed like a bowl of mush instead of chili. If you take the 1/2 lb. of turkey out then this could be a vegetarian recipe and we like meat in our chili!
Mar 14, 2016
Made this for my husband and I because we are trying to eat healthier. It tasted great! We are pushing 50 and our metabolisms aren't what they use to be. Thank you for submitting such a great recipe that is healthy and tasty!
Jan 25, 2016
OK -- i liked this recipe more than my other--it was hearty and tasty and i swear it felt healthy as it was consumed.But i probably will not make again...unless i have a different audience.
Jan 11, 2016
Amazing recipe! It's very tasty and healthy! I feel more energetic after I eat it! I made it many times and it always come out good.
Aug 26, 2015
I make this recipe for new mamas. There's so many nutrients packed in! Personally, I think it could use more kick, but that's simple to add individually at serving time.
Sep 5, 2014
I've made this recipe several times, and it's always well-liked. The recipe makes quite a lot, but it freezes well. I like to use one can of kidney beans and one of black beans, instead of two cans of black beans called for. I also just leave out the "adobo" stuff since I don't know what that is and don't care to go out and find it, and it's still very flavorful and excellent.I also leave out the corn. I put in chopped celery instead (less starchy and zero calories). I also throw in a handful of chopped kale, because why not? I like things hot and spicy, so I also add jalapeño peppers and extra chili powder. Make sure to use organic zucchini and red pepper -- those are on the Dirty Dozen list! ;-)If you want even more protein (and flavor), add some chopped ham or turkey deli meat along with the ground turkey.
Feb 22, 2014
We like spicy food at our house so this was excellent. I realized that I didnt have enough tomatoes so I added rotel and I just skipped the corn all together. It was still yummy. I think I will make this again!
Feb 17, 2014
I hate to be the Debbie Downer among all the excellent reviews, but I didn't love this. Out of fear of it being too spicy, I only added half a chipotle pepper, and a tsp of the sauce, since I have to feed my young son. I found it "ok" but I won't go out of my way to make it again. It makes so much. But it sure was simple to throw together.
Sep 12, 2013
This chili was excellent. It had just enough bite to satisfy the husbands liking for spicy foods and still not too spicy for my sensitive tongue. Also it is very colorful. I will definitely make this again
Aug 14, 2013
I didn't think a delicous and healthy chili recipe existed. The recipe was A-Mazing! My husband loved it! I loved it! I don't think he even noticed that there was so little meat in there. I think the 1/2 lb. was just enough to do the trick. I should disclose, I didn't add the cilantro. My husband is not a big fan. Other than that I followed it to the T. Thanx for the recipe Sharon!

- "Times are changing. The families can't keep their backs turned while our enemies reap the rewards. So we send someone down to do the dirty work for us and cut ourselves a nice, quiet slice..."
- ― Sonny Forelli
Sonny Forelli is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series, appearing as a central character and the main antagonist of Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, and is mentioned in "The Introduction", a prequel for Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
Sonny Forelli is an Italian-American mobster and the Don of the Liberty City-based Forelli crime family as of 1986. A friend and the boss of GTA Vice City protagonist Tommy Vercetti, Sonny sends Vercetti to Vice City, wishing to establish drug trade businesses there.
Sonny was born into the Liberty City-based Forelli crime family, an Italian-American mob; Sonny joined the family's ranks, eventually rising to power in a young age. Under Sonny's reign, the Forellis became the most powerful crime organization in Liberty City, with Sonny having a major influence in the business of racketeering, gambling, union trouble, corruption and prostitution in the area.
Prior to the 1970s, Sonny became a friend and the boss of fellow mobster Tommy Vercetti, employing Tommy as his hitman. However, likely due to Tommy's rising reputation and power in Liberty City's underworld, the Forelli Don became disdainful and jealous towards the latter, opting to remove Tommy from the way.
In 1971, Sonny sent Tommy to Harwood to assassinate a key mobster; however, when Tommy arrived, he found himself surrounded by eleven hitmen. Despite being outnumbered, Tommy managed to kill the hitmen, but was arrested and convicted of eleven counts of murder. Unbeknownst to Tommy, the eleven man ambush was ordered by Sonny himself. Due to Sonny and the Forelli family's connections, the Forelli hitman was spared death penalty or life imprisonment.
Events of GTA Vice City
Drug deal
- "Vice City is twenty-four carat gold these days. The Colombians, the Mexicans. Hell, even those Cuban refugees are cutting themselves a piece of some nice action."
- ―Sonny, regarding Vice City, "In The Beginning...."
By 1986, the Forellis are still the most powerful organization in Liberty City, with Sonny wishing to enter the family into the drug dealing business. Due to Tommy being released from prison the same year, Sonny decides to send him to Vice City, wishing to have Tommy establish a drug trading business in the city while also keeping him far away from Liberty City, believing Tommy's presence in LC will be bad for the Forellis' business.
Sonny has Ken Rosenberg, a Vice City-based lawyer who works for the Forellis, set a cocaine deal with Lance and Victor Vance, with the deal is also being organized by Rosenberg's associate, Juan Cortez. With the deal set in Viceport next to a compound, Tommy is sent accompanied by Rosenberg and fellow Forelli men Harry and Lee. The deal, however, goes wrong when a group of hitmen kills Harry, Lee and Victor Vance, forcing Tommy and Ken to abandon the cocaine and Sonny's money.
Shortly afterwards, Tommy contacts Sonny from the Ocean View Hotel, revealing of the ambush on the deal. Furious over Tommy's failure, Sonny agrees to let Tommy investigate and punish the men responsible for the ambush, although the Forelli Don also warns Tommy of not making a fool of himself.
Supervision over Tommy
- "Where's the goddamn money!? Where's the goddamn stuff!? And where's my cut of your new action!? You are making an idiot out of me, Tommy, and I'm not laughing yet."
- ―Sonny, in his third phone call to Tommy.
While Tommy continues searching for suspects related to the drug deal, Sonny remains with contact with him, supervisioning Tommy's actions. Throughout Tommy's time in Vice City, Sonny contacts him three times. In his first call, after Tommy has intimidated juries who were on Sonny's cousin Giorgio's case, Sonny merely reminds Tommy to find the stolen money, while also warning him about being a potentially unreliable person.
Tommy eventually finds out that drug baron Ricardo Diaz was the man who ordered the hit on the drug deal, and kills him, slowly becoming the new crimelord in Vice City. After hearing about Tommy's latest actions while the latter didn't inform him of finding out and killing the man responsible, Sonny calls him again, warning to not forget about the Forellis.
Irritated at Tommy for ignoring the Forellis, not giving them a cut from his businesses, and not even repaying his debt, Sonny calls Tommy again, furiously questioning him over his actions and lack of contact with the family. Sonny also threatens to have Ken's family killed.
Arrival in Vice City and death
- Tommy: "You took fifteen years from me Sonny... And now I'm gonna make you pay!"
- Sonny: "You still don't get it do you! I own you, Tommy. Those fifteen years were mine to spend! Get him boys, he never understood a thing."
- ―Tommy and Sonny shortly before their final showdown, "Keep Your Friends Close..."
Tired of waiting Tommy to pay him from his cuts, Sonny sends his men over to Vice City to collect taxes from various assets and businesses owned by Tommy, beginning with the Print Works managed by Tommy's associate Earnest Kelly. However, Tommy learns of the Forellis' actions shortly afterwards, and eliminates Sonny's men, finally openly revealing his unwilling to pay the Forellis, while also proclaiming that Vice City is his, not Sonny's.
Around this time, Tommy's associate Lance Vance, who has become very disillusioned with Tommy due to receiving little to no credit from him, is contacted by Sonny, who manages to have Lance turn his back on Tommy.
Expecting Sonny's arrival in Vice City, Tommy prints fake cash which he aims to give to Sonny. Upon Sonny's arrival at the Vercetti Estate and after a somewhat hostile exchange of words between Tommy and Sonny over their ruined friendship and business, Lance reveals his alliance with Sonny, and the location of Tommy's real money, in the latter's office.
A massive gunfight begins between Sonny's men and Tommy, although Sonny chooses to stay out of it initially. After killing Lance on the estate's rooftops, Tommy confronts Sonny at his mansion's entrance. With Sonny's involvement in the Harwood incident fifteen years ago are finally confirmed, Tommy engages in a final shootout with the Forelli Don and his men, concluding in Sonny's death.
Post-Vice City
- "Ever since Sonny Forelli got himself pasted all over Florida, you think you run things in this town."
- ―Salvatore Leone to Johnny Sindacco.
Sonny's demise marks the beginning of the Forelli crime family's downfall. His death is noted by Leone crime family Don and fellow mobster Salvatore Leone to have dealt a severe blow to the Forellis, enough to let the Sindacco crime family gain power in Liberty City by the 1990's. By 1998, a film titled "Sonny Forelli: A Real Story" is advertised in Liberty City.
Sonny is shown to be a power-hungry, impulsive, ruthless and short-tempered man, becoming furious when things don't go in his way or get delayed, as shown through his phone calls with Tommy, where he eventually lost his temper and yelled at Tommy as his patience began to slowly decline.
He is willing to do anything to obtain more power, influence and money for himself and his organization, going as far as planning to begin drug trade businesses, despite it's traditionally being a red area for the Liberty City mafia families. He also had no problem of betraying his friend and ally Tommy in 1971, simply out of jealousy and possible paranoia over the latter's rapid rise in reputation.
Despite his greed, Sonny appears to be a strong, charismatic and manipulative leader, and during his reign as a Don the Forelli crime family was the most powerful crime organization in Liberty City, while his successors never achieved the same power or influence as he had. His charisma and manipulation also helped him in converting Lance Vance to his side, after the latter felt he was unappreciated by Tommy.
- "Notoriously poor taste in clothes."
- ―The Vice City Police Department, regarding Sonny's apparel.
Sonny is a man of average size, who appears to be a bit overweighted. His skin tone is fair, while his eyes are teal and his hair is dark brown, short and combed backwards. In GTA: Vice City, Sonny wears a dark blue sport coat, animal print shirt, white dress pants and black shoes. In his official artwork, Sonny is seen wearing a pink business suit, and sunglasses.
VCBI Crime Tree Record
Head of Forelli Crime Family. Major crime family in Liberty City. Believed to have major influence in racketerring, gambling, union trouble, corruption and prostitution. More in file...
Mission Appearances
- GTA Vice City
- In The Beginning... (Boss)
- An Old Friend (Boss)
- Jury Fury (Post-mission phone call)
- Rub Out (Post-mission phone call)
- Recruitment Drive (Post-mission phone call)
- Keep Your Friends Close... (Killed)
- Sonny Forelli is similar to Sonny Corleone from 1972 film The Godfather. Both of them act as boss for their family, and both have same ruthless, short-tempered personality.
- Sonny makes the second fewest physical appearances in-game of all the main antagonists in the 3D Universe, with only three physical appearances (although he gives Tommy a phone call after three missions). The antagonist with the fewest appearances is Massimo Torini from GTA Liberty City Stories, with only two mission appearances.
- According to Dan Houser in an IGN interview, Sonny and Tommy were friends since childhood. In the same interview, Houser explained that Tommy never told anyone that Sonny was the one who sent him to kill the key mobster, and by extension his henchmen, because he believed in a mafia code and sense of honor amongst thieves.[1]
- In GTA Liberty City Stories, it is possible to see a poster for a movie about Sonny Forelli, titled "Sonny Forelli - A Real Story", around the borders of Pike Creek and Francis International Airport. Although the movie is about Sonny, the poster strangely shows members of the Russian Mafia as they appeared in GTA San Andreas.
- Sonny is the only Forelli family member who wasn't killed in Liberty City.

After beating Ghana with an 86th-minute goal out of nowhere, the U.S. now has a real opportunity to get out of the very difficult Group G.
There's a 67% chance they advance to the knockout stage, according to Five Thirty Eight's Nate Silver, up from 33% before the game.
When Ghana tied the game at 1-1 in the 82nd minute, many wanted to the U.S. to stay compact and play for a draw. A tie would have let the Americans live another day, the logic went, while a loss would have all but sent them home.
But in reality, that game-winning goal changed everything. The U.S. is now the clear favorite to finish second in the group and advance. With the draw against Ghana, there would have effectively been a three-way tie for which team was expected to make it out of the group.
Using ESPN's SPI odds for the remaining Group G games, we calculated the expected points that all four teams are predicted to earn in their final two games. The expected points:
- Germany (opponents: Ghana, U.S.) — 4.63 points
- Portugal (opponents: U.S., Ghana) — 2.86 points
- USA (opponents: Portugal, Germany) — 1.86 points
- Ghana (opponents: Germany, Portugal) — 1.67 points
As you can see, Portugal is expected to get more points than the U.S. in the next two games. But the U.S. is still expected to advance:
Things would have been much different if USA-Ghana ended 1-1. The U.S. and Portugal would have had even odds to finish 2nd in the group, and Ghana would be right there as well.
It would have gotten messy for the U.S., and they would have probably needed to overperform in the final two games to advance.
John Brooks's header wasn't just dramatic and thrilling, it was vitally important for the U.S. chances of sticking around in Brazil.

In December of '06 I wrote a long email to Pfhorrest listing various feedback pertaining to this scenario and he responded to it point-by-point. I completely forgot about it for over a year due to being distracted with school and other problems, but I really should really should respond to it now that this thread reminded me of it. I'll do it soon, assuming I don't forget again (I have a terrible short-term memory, but as this thread looks unlikely to die anytime soon I probably won't forget).
Eternal X manages to capture the feel of the original trilogy, I feel, better than any other scenario released to date. The main thing that keeps me from ranking it higher than Rubicon X is the same quibble I had with Infinity when first playing it (as well as Chrono Cross, which isn't related to but is nonetheless worth noting) - namely, that it's difficult to follow the sequence of events, though that's probably a direct consequence of its nonlinearity, as well as the complexity of its plot. The Story page solves this trouble for Infinity - if one is confused about matters, one can simply refer to terminals from previous levels to review text one has already forgotten. It would probably help players' comprehension of Eternal if someone posted the terminal text somewhere, just because there are so many plot strands to keep track of that one naturally loses track of details mentioned in the past, especially if one doesn't have the time to play the whole thing in a short burst (as I didn't).

Three to seven inches of snow forecast today, tonight
The National Weather Service is predicting 2-4" of snowfall today, Wednesday the 26th, with another 1-3" that might fall tonight.
The Service notes that this morning's rain will switch over to snow by early afternoon with the heaviest periods of snowfall occurring from 4pm to midnight–- just in time for rush hour!
23 comments
If you view the precipitation headed towards us now on Wunderground.com, the rain/snow line is going further south with each passing update. I can believe it will be all snow/ice by the time it gets to us early this afternoon. The only question remaining is whether we will get 2" or 5". :)
Hey, we had warm weather yesterday! :)
According to the regional animated Wunderground map, the snow is almost upon us right now, it's entering the southwest portion of Albemarle County as I type. County schools closing at noon now. And they claim 2" to 4" this afternoon, with another 4" to 6" this evening.
And a little bit of trivia: Contrary to what postal officials want you to believe, this will affect your mail delivery. All of the employees they transferred to the distribution and sorting center 85 miles away when they closed Charlottesville will probably not make it to work tonight, I'm almost sure the carpool vans will not run tonight. The mail you would get on Thursday will be delayed until Friday or Saturday.
I don't believe it. We have been caught in a no precip pocket too many times, with the mountains breaking it apart. Accuweather gives us 1.5 inches. sounds more in line with the patterns. We need the fluid in any form right now. Otherwise we are in for a terrible growing season.
I think you might be a little bit off with your forecast!
The Sky Is Falling! The Sky Is Falling!
Gasbag - say it isn't so!! Here's me wishing for warm weather!!
Going to have to cool down awful fast if we are to see snow. Yesterday hit 50s. We had a rain shower early today, and now a light drizzle.
Do agree that it has been a very dry winter, totally unlike last year. Hope its not a forerunner of another dry spring and summer.
Firebirds, Trans Ams and Camaros pretty much went out of production in 2002. The Camaro was revived by Chevrolet recently though. The last (Firebird) Trans Am I had, a 10th Anniversary Edition, was sold at a Barrett Jackson Auction a few decades ago for twice what I paid for it when new. To answer your question though, the new Camaro I bought recently won't be driven in snow or ice.
That's what I was thinking....who would drive a *Firebird* around in the snow and subject it to the road salt and muddy slush?? Not to mention all the people who don't know how to drive who might play bumper cars with it on the slippery roads?? A Firebird is the sort of car I grew up watching being given away as a prize on like, The Price is Right. :D Not a car you'd try to ruin with mud slush and salt. That puppy would stay in the garage.
Gasbag, like you I am a Wunderground fan, although the last few times Accuweather has skunked them in terms of accuracy. This time, however, there is already 2 inches in Hessian Hills at 6:30pm. and Accuweather DECREASED their forcast from 1.4 to 1.3 inches.
Love wunderground.com.
Looks like our storm has fizzled out.
I was hoping for 6" to 10". :)
All of the weather services should be ashamed of their performance in predicting this snowfall!
@Getc. "I was hoping for 6"³ to 10"³. :)"
That's what she said...
I'm so disappointed!!!!!!!!!!
Where's our snow????????????
HAHAHA! The heavy snow just started, pretty much on schedule with the forecast stated above! My wife said it wasn't going to amount to anything either. She's having crow for dinner tonight.
Let it snow!
Gasbag - how does your Firebird handle in the snow?
And it apparently did cool down awfully fast, considering the torrential downpour of ice pellets about an hour ago. Nobody can cry "Chicken Little!" anymore. There's a big old blue, white and fuscia colored mess coming our way from the west, according to the online weather websites. I look forward to the snow! Love going outside and walking around our neighborhood at night when the snow's coming down. It's great! Probably a delayed start to work tomorrow, so I can sleep in a little longer. Can't beat that!
Blobs on a map, moving this way moving that, we may get a little and we may get a lot --NPR weather report--gotta love the poetry
I told you. It never did much. But then, the NWS usually has ahd it right. They are still saying we have more snow coming. It's just too warm to build up a big pile. It just melts. I am glad we got something, but I am tied of being the only place on the east coast that isn't getting snow. I have to deal with all the travel delays flying, I might as well get some of the white stuff.
i see we got 6-10" of incorrect predictions.
10 inches here in the Shen Valley. Woot!!!

According to study findings presented By C. W. Hastings*, the celebrated British sex therapist, Premature Ejaculation (PE) can be classified in four different levels (1, 2, 3, and 4), depending on a series of factors such as cause, severity, and how long the patient has been suffering from it. Each one of these levels is intimately related to the cause of the problem.
In this graph you can see how the PC muscle blocks the contractions that produce ejaculation. This is the mechanism that makes male multiple orgasm, also known as "tantric orgasm", possible.With enough practice this technique can be learned and perfected to gain complete control over the PC muscle, giving you the possibility of enjoying the sensations of the orgasm without ejaculating or loosing your erection.This graph was provided by Recovery Center and Sexual Research, respectively
When faced with a Premature Ejaculation case, it is crucial to keep in mind that it is always treatable and even the most severe cases can be solved. The most important thing is to keep your cool and address the problem immediately. Generally, as time goes by without treatment, the problem becomes harder and harder to solve. In any situation it is critical that you choose the most suitable program because if you choose the wrong treatment and you fail to achieve your goals, it will only generate more anxiety and stress, which will make the problem even worse.Nowadays, there are several treatment alternatives, which can be divided into two very different groups. The first and most common kind of treatment is the one based on a direct visit with a physician or a sex therapist. The second and most modern and recent kind of treatment is the one based on online programs designed to fight Premature Ejaculation.
Online treatments are now the most modern and more widespread alternative due to the fact that they offer several benefits, such as the high effectiveness rate, fast results, and -most importantly- avoiding a face-to-face appointment with a health professional.
Every modern program is based on an online diagnosis of the Level of PE in order to determine the cause of the problem and, consequently, how to treat it.
Below I have published an excerpt of a very interesting article from the 2005 February issue of the Customer Report magazine containing an interview with one of the people responsible for one of the most effective online PE treatments currently, according to the survey conducted by the same magazine.The most interesting thing about these websites is that they offer a free online diagnosis that allows you to know what your Premature Ejaculation Level is.The exercise program offered by both Sexual Research and Recovery Center were developed in order to gradually recover the ejaculatory reflex. Usually, this process doesn't take more than seven to ten days for most cases.
* Since this article has been scanned, it may take a while to upload. In any case, I strongly recommend you read it in order to get the necessary information to solve your PE problem.

Because I know how other blogs have helped me, I hope that this little blog of mine has helped others and will continue to help others. So I will leave it where it is, out there for the world to see. As for me, it is time to move on.
I still want to continue to write as I don't want to leave behind the support and connection we get from blogging. So I've created a new blog to chronicle this next phase of our lives. Because I now have two other little lives to think of and they didn't choose to have the details of their lives out there for the world to see, I feel the need to protect their privacy a bit. Therefore, my new blog will be invite only.
If you wish to continue following our journey, please leave me a comment with your email address and I will send you an invite to the new blog. Please state in the comment whether or not it is okay to publish the comment so that I know if I should publish, or simply get your email address and delete the comment. If you happen to already have my email address, please drop me a line and let me know you would like to be invited. I know some of you have already mentioned that you want an invite and even sent along an email address. However, it would be easiest if these were all in one place, so please leave me a comment here as well.
Until we meet again.

Internet access is a civil right? Ha! That assertion just denigrates the passionate fights for real civil rights.I appreciate this comment because it really made me think.
And I thought about what would happen if poor people were only allowed access to public radio if they paid a monthly fee. And I thought about what would happen if poor people were only allowed to watch public television if they paid a monthly fee. And then I wondered what would happen if poor people were only allowed to check books out of the public library if they paid a monthly fee. And what would happen if poor people were only allowed to go to public school if they paid a monthly fee.
Each of those institutions -- public radio, public television, public library, and public school -- comprise a facet of the intellectual life of all American citizens. To deny access to any of these on the basis of class, race, gender, etc, would not only devalue the potential of the citizenry, but would amount to an infringement of Civil Rights.
It should be no different with regard to access to the Internet.
We need a public system to provide and ensure access for all Americans regardless of where one lives or the ability to pay for a monthly service.
In this time when so many Americans are out of work, we are presented with the opportunity both to re-train and re-employ citizens and spread access throughout the country by means of a public works program for Internet connectivity and community training in digital literacy.
This would be tied to a push for computer manufacturers to step up and help equip all of our nation's schools with 1:1 computing at a reasonable and fair rate; the cost for this 1:1 initiative will be redirected from purchases of paper and printed resources.
The result would be guaranteed free universal Internet access for all Americans.
Yes, I believe firmly that Internet access is a Civil Right. And I welcome suggestions and debate on how to move forward on the issue of once and for all closing the digital divide.

Paul Roa/For the Chronicle
Rimes and Cibrian.
Eddie Cibrian's ex-wife Brandi Glanville has slammed his girlfriend LeAnn Rimes for releasing a song about cheating partners, insisting the words are "in poor taste".
The country singer has been dating former "CSI: Miami" star Cibrian since last year, when they came clean about their affair and split from their respective spouses.
Earlier this week, Rimes released the single "Crazy Women", prompting speculation she is singing about Glanville in the track.
She sings, "Crazy women are made by crazy men/ He cheats and lies, then plays the victim/ He don't know why they always pick them/ Crazy women, ex-wives and old girlfriends/ Keep their crazy hidden/ Till they're pushed off the deep end."
Glanville has been left unimpressed with the subject matter of the single, telling E! News, "When your cheating is the cause of a 'crazy woman's' behaviour, it's in poor taste to sing about it."

The Texas Supreme Court today set a Sept. 15 hearing for oral arguments in efforts by the Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News and the Austin American-Statesman to obtain copies of travel vouchers for the governor's protective detail.
The Texas Department of Public Safety has lost in district court and in the Third Court of Appeals in its effort to withhold the records on the grounds of homeland security. Here's the appeals court ruling.
And here are some of the briefs in the case.
Because Gov. Rick Perry has taken so many trips around the country and overseas, the newspapers have been attempting to obtain the records to verify the details of the cost of protecting the governor wherever he goes.
In 2008, a member of Perry's protective detail won a $900,000 judgment against the Texas Department of Public Safety for discrimination. Part of Thomas Lee Williams' complaints were that the African-American and female members of the protective detail were never allowed to go on some of the exotic trips where there were fancy meals and nice hotels.

Dip Into Yogurt Dips and A Food Gal Giveaway
I have a love-hate relationship with dip.
I love the stuff.
But not what it does to my hips, if you know what I mean.
So, when I had a chance to try La Terra Fina dips lately, I was intrigued. Rather than sour cream, they're made with Greek yogurt.
That means, a serving of two tablespoons weighs in at a respectable 30 to 70 calories, depending upon the variety.
The eight dips are all gluten-free, too.
The Balsamic Beet & White Bean Dip is fuchsia colored with chunks of red beets in it. It's slightly sweet, but also tangy from balsamic vinegar.
The Caramelized Onion Dip had a sweet onion-y taste, though I think it needed a little more salt or tang to really make its flavors pop.
The Red Lentil Curry Dip, my favorite of the bunch, reminded me of curried deviled eggs. With its earthy, yet mild curry flavor, it would be fantastic as a sandwich spread, too.
The dips are available at Whole Foods and Smart & Final for $4.99 per 10-ounce tub.
CONTEST: One lucky Food Gal reader will win samples of the La Terra Fina Greek Yogurt Dips. Entries, limited to those in the continental United States, will be accepted through midnight PST July 20. Winner will be announced July 22.
How to win?
Just tell me about something or someone you have a love-hate relationship with. Best answer wins the dip samples.

I know that, from my recent posts, it must look like I eat nothing but sweets and soup. That's not exactly true, but I do have another sweets recipe to share -- this time, homemade truffles, made with mashed sweet potato, pecans, coconut, and two types of chocolate.
They're tiny, so you might need to eat a few of them.
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup mashed sweet potato
1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
3/4 cup pecans
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash salt
1/4 cup cocoa powder
Place the chocolate chips, sweet potato, pecans, coconut, vanilla, and salt in a food processor and process until the mixture becomes relatively smooth and forms a ball.
Scrape the truffle mixture out of the food processor and into a bowl; cover and refrigerate for one hour.
After about an hour...
Set out a piece of wax paper or parchment paper (to place the finished truffles on).
Remove the truffle mixture from the refrigerator.
Place the cocoa powder on a dinner plate.
Roll 1 teaspoon of the truffle mixture between your hands to create a ball.
Roll the truffle ball in the cocoa powder until coated, and place on the parchment or wax paper.
Repeat until all of the truffle mixture has been used.
Refrigerate until serving (or enjoy immediately).

By way of background: Pomegranate has a recipe for a soy-free chocolate mousse made with avocado on her blog. (I'm still trying to wrap my mind around that one, but I'm going to have to try it!)

Te Puia's first male guide's labour of love
Karl Rangikawhiti Leonard, who is well-known in trade circles, is back at Te Puia | NZMACI continuing the guiding legacy.
Karl earned his place as the first male guide due to respect - his grandmother was a well-known weaver and his uncle was the first director of the NZMACI.
In 1983, he became the first male guide to guide manuhiri (visitors), through what is now called Te Puia.
It was also in 1983 that Karl first began the kākahu (cloak) that he continues to work on at Te Puia to this day. It has been woven using cotton, twine and leftover muka (flax fibre) from piupiu (flax skirts).
"As a new weaver back then, I didn't realise how time consuming it would be. I really only got back into it in 2003, it's been a 'labour of love' that's for sure. The tāniko pattern (cloak border) alone takes about two hours just for one row."
Karl has done some of the work on the kākahu while based in Montana, USA, on a 10-month stint as a scholar in residence. He is about to embark on another adventure to America, after being invited back to contribute to weaving workshops, where he will be working alongside at least three different Native American tribes.

Te Puia is home to the New Zealand Māori Arts and Crafts Insitute and the world famous Pohutu geyser.
