AS&E Receives Follow-on Order for 8 Z Backscatter Vans
- for International Law Enforcement Agencies
American Science and Engineering, Inc. ("AS&E") (NASDAQ: ASEI), a leading worldwide supplier of innovative X-ray detection solutions, announced today the receipt of an order for eight Z Backscatter™ Vans (ZBV) for use by international law enforcement agencies. The ZBV™ systems will be used by law enforcement officials to scan vehicles at border crossings and other checkpoints to detect explosives and other contraband.
"The Z Backscatter Van continues to be the mobile X-ray system of choice to support time sensitive security missions," said Anthony Fabiano, AS&E's President and CEO. "The ZBV system is a powerful tool for screening cargo and vehicles for explosive threats and contraband, with the speed and agility that enables a swift response to potential security risks. Since the deployment of their first ZBV systems, the law enforcement officials quickly recognized the effectiveness of the system and rapidly expanded their fleet."

When applied to nails, acrylic dries to a hard surface, making nails stronger and less breakable. Longer lasting nail polish is another advantage of acrylic nails. Generally, women go to a nail professional to have acrylics applied, and although manicurists often advise their clients to return to the salon to have them removed, you can take acrylics off at home with a little patience.
Things You'll Need
- Newspaper
- Large toenail clippers
- Small bowl
- Acetone
- Hand cream
- Nail buffer
Place several layers of newspaper on a table or desk where you can sit comfortably.
Cut your nails down as short as possible with a pair of large toenail clippers.
Pour about two cups of pure acetone into a small bowl and soak your fingernails in it for about 15 to 20 minutes. The acetone will cause the acrylic to loosen from the surface of your nails.
Take your hand out of the acetone and try to lift off the acrylic. It should come easily off in one piece. If some of it is still adhering to the nail, soak it in the acetone for another 10 minutes or longer until it can come right off with no trouble.
Pull off all the acrylic and repeat with the other hand. Wash your hands well to remove all traces of the acetone. Use a moisturizing hand cream on your hands.
Buff your natural nails lightly to remove leftover nail glue. Do this carefully, as your nails will be thin and brittle after removing the acrylics.

About Robin Wagner
All of my life I have been the kind of person that people just want to talk to. Even in elementary school I would wind up being an amateur therapist at the back of the bus, talking kids through proble...ms as simple as friendship issues or as complicated as wanting to run away from home. I've never charged money for my talents, but am always the go-to person when a friend or family member (or friend of friend or friend of family member) needs an empathetic ear or sound advice. I've been through many walks of life, have had many struggles and tribulations, and can relate to a variety of people and situations. This includes: Growing up around addicts and domestic abuse. Surviving sexual abuse. Navigating poverty as a child. Coming out of the closet. Managing successful long term relationships. Utilizing positive parenting to raise a confident and happy child. Learning to disentangle myself from a conservative and authoritarian religion. Learning to stop being shy and make friends easily. Helping those around me with anxiety disorder, panic disorder, or depression calm down and feel loved and secure. Do you struggle with any of these? Perhaps something different? Let's have a conversation and see if I can be of any service to you. I am also a great companion if you ever need a friend, or want to get a drink (even tea or coffee).

Tantan Flickr CSS
I have spent over an hour trying to customize the CSS of this plugin and still can't achieve a simple style change.
The most frustrating thing about this plugin is that it doesn't utelise the existing CSS of the blog's theme. Instead, I have these horrid bright blue squares around every single thumbnail. The standard blue inks and purple for visited links is not at all suitable. But rather than duplicating the blgo's theme styles into the Tantan Flickr style sheet I'd rather just apply my existing theme's style sheet.
Is this possible?
If not, how do I change the Tantan CSS to get rid of the blue and purple link colours?
I used the Firefox plugin Firebug to determine what styles I needed to changed and found a few styles with names like tt-flickr. Yet, none of these appear on the tan tan flickr css. Does anyone know why not? Where do these styles reside then?

I knew he dipped because he was 16. but I wasn't thinkin he had tobacco in his mouth at the very moment and we kissed with every bit of tongue and his dip spit and tobacco was ALL in my mouth! I was pissed and I remember seeing him at school and he asked me out and I said yes anyway:)
Most Helpful Girl
Mine was terrible too.
i was also 14 and he was 15.
It was my first, and I didn't want to sound dumb,
so I didn't tell him it was my first.
It was at a bus station. he started kissing
me, and I just stood there like a brain dead moron.
didn't move my lips or anything.
He looked at me funny afterward and said, Did
you forget how? lol
I don't think my real first kiss counts because
it wasn't willingly,
but also when I was 9, some friends and
me were playing spin the bottle, and the guy that
had to kiss me slobbered all over my mouth. Ugh nasty.22|00|0
lol...i guess everyones was pretty disgusting
"Did you forget how?"! That's even better than "Wanna try that again?" This is hilarious.

#960 closed enhancement (fixed)
embed jetty with petascope
|Reported by:
|Owned by:
|pbaumann, mdumitru, vmerticariu, bphamhuu
Using a small embedded servlet container to deploy petascope, as an alternative to Tomcat, would simplify rasdaman's installation.
The idea is that start/stop_rasdaman.sh would handle starting and stopping of petascope as well, which would live in $RMANHOME/bin or so.
Combined with #959 this would result in an alternative rasdaman, which is self-contained and independent of external servers.

Hi Dimitar,
I've a short report about integrating Rasdaman with Jetty. My current OS system is Centos 7, Rasdaman version 9.0. I aslo test petascope at least with the GetCapabilities? with Jetty and it returns result to let me know it is working.
If you have a comment or a suggestion, please let me know.
1. Install Java 8 for Jetty 9 [1]
For 32 bit use the file name: jdk-8u45-linux-i586.tar.gz
For 64 bit use the file name: jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz
Go to the folder /opt/
# cd /opt/
Download the zipped file (note: this is 64 bit file, 32 bit use jdk-8u45-linux-i586.tar.gz)
# wget --no-cookies --no-check-certificate --header "Cookie: gpw_e24=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.oracle.com%2F; oraclelicense=accept-securebackup-cookie" "http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/8u45-b14/jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz"
Unzip the file to folder Java JDK
# tar xzf jdk-8u45-linux-x64.tar.gz
NOTE: use the "alternatives" command to install it. alternatives command is available in chkconfig package.
# cd /opt/jdk1.8.0_45/
# alternatives --install /usr/bin/java java /opt/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java 2
# alternatives --config java
There are 3 programs which provide 'java'. Choose '3' to use Java jdk8 to start applications like Jetty.
Selection Command
- 1 /opt/jdk1.7.0_71/bin/java
2 /opt/jdk1.8.0_25/bin/java
3 /opt/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/java
Enter to keep the current selection[+], or type selection number: 3
At this point JAVA 8 has been successfully installed on your system. Also setup javac and jar commands path using alternatives
# alternatives --install /usr/bin/jar jar /opt/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/jar 2
# alternatives --install /usr/bin/javac javac /opt/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/javac 2
# alternatives --set jar /opt/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/jar
# alternatives --set javac /opt/jdk1.8.0_45/bin/javac
Check the installed version of Java to make sure it is working with Java 8
# java -version
java version "1.8.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_45-b14)
Java HotSpot?(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.45-b02, mixed mode)
2. Install Jetty: [2]
First, fill the most update of Jetty (now is Jetty stable 9.3.2)
Download the file jetty-distribution-9.3.2.v20150730.tar.gz to some folder, for example /tmp
# cd /tmp
# sudo wget http://eclipse.mirror.triple-it.nl/jetty/stable-9/dist/jetty-distribution-9.3.2.v20150730.tar.gz
Extract the zipped file in the /tmp folder:
# sudo tar xzvf jetty-distribution-9.3.2.v20150730.tar.gz
Now move Jetty to folder /opt/jetty
# sudo mv jetty-distribution-9.3.2.v20150730 /opt/jetty
Remove the temp folder
# sudo rm jetty-distribution-9.3.2.v20150730.tar.gz
Now create a user called jetty to run jetty web server on system start-up
# usderadd -m jetty
Changed ownership of jetty directory (/opt/jetty) to group and user jetty
# chown -R jetty:jetty /opt/jetty
Copy Symlink jetty.sh to /etc/init.d directory to create a start up script file for jetty web server.
# ln -s /opt/jetty/bin/jetty.sh /etc/init.d/jetty
Add script jetty.sh
# chkconfig --add jetty
Now create a file to store jetty properties to start.
# nano /etc/default/jetty (or vi, gedit,...)
JETTY_PORT=8088 #(default port Tomcart is 8080, it just a test)
JETTY_HOST=localhost # could change to IP address (example: 192.168.12.10)
JETTY_LOGS=/opt/jetty/logs/ # for error could view in this folder
Start the jetty service
# service jetty start
Copy the folder of rasdaman.war (petascope) to /opt/jetty/webapps
Open Web Browser, run: http://localhost:8088/rasdaman/ows. And click on 'Get capabilities', if see the description in 'Service identification', 'Service provider' and 'GML server capabilities' then petascope has start working good with Jetty 9.x
View Jetty Status to see the current status of running Jetty.
# service jetty status

good work, Bang!
Now to the next step: can you integrate this into the "configure && make && make install" cycle?
You need to check prerequisites (like other dependencies we have, you can learn from these examples), generate the rasdaman-jetty, and likely provide a configuration file.
comment:3 Changed 2 years ago by bphamhuu
- Cc bphamhuu added
comment:4 Changed 2 years ago by dmisev
the idea is to embed Jetty within petascope's code (source:applications/petascope)
Have a look at these links to get an idea what I mean:
comment:5 Changed 2 years ago by bphamhuu
Thanks Prof. Peter and Dimitar, I've problem that I think as a manual way by downloading, extract and setup.
But this is better when could embedded jetty to petascope (rasdaman.war) in folder (now is /usr/share/rasdaman/)
I will try to config Jetty in the way Dimitar has guided.
comment:6 Changed 2 years ago by bphamhuu
Thanks Dimitar for the link, I've attached successful jetty.jar with rasdaman.war (petascope) and make a file .java to start both of these service.
However, when I tried to build Rasdaman from source code (I'm using Centos 7), the problem is
(my folder is /home/rasdaman/)
git clone git://rasdaman/rasdaman.git
cd rasdaman
autoreconf -fi
and is has an error here "
configure: error: in `/home/rasdaman/rasdaman':
configure: error: libcrypto.a not found! Please install.
See `config.log' for more details
So I'm stuck at this and could not try to make with make install and test with Jetty embedded as Prof. Peter required. I hope Dimitar could help and I could make it quickly because I've been late for 1 week without notice anything.
Thanks you in advance.
comment:7 Changed 2 years ago by dmisev
Please consult the documentation on how to install rasdaman from source: http://rasdaman.org/wiki/Install
Installing on Debian might be easier. For installing the required packages on CentOS with yum for example see source:packaging/rpm/rasdaman-sqlite.spec (the BuildRequires lists)
comment:8 Changed 2 years ago by dmisev
You could actually create a quick CentOS 7 installation guide as you compile and install rasdaman, like the one we have for Debian: wiki:RasdamanQuickInstallDebian7
comment:9 Changed 2 years ago by bphamhuu
Yes, Dimitar, I also want to fill the gap of guide If I could follow your path successful. I'll do it now and If I have error I'll need more help.
Thanks for your hard working !
comment:10 Changed 2 years ago by bphamhuu
Thanks again, Dimitar,
As you suggested link http://www.rasdaman.org/wiki/RasdamanQuickInstallDebian7 and after tracking file configure.ac to install library step by step.
I could installed Rasdaman on Centos 7 (test ok with rasdaman_insertdemo.sh), but actually it is a lot of tricky (especially with libpng15 (Rasdaman code using deprecated pointer (I don't know it is the same with http://stackoverflow.com/questions/10507610/libpng-1-5-10-error-dereferencing-pointer-to-incomplete-type) or not but I've to downgrade to libpng12 and no complain when "make" - compile source code).
Also a lot of library are changed in Centos 7 at least by their name and some time need to find the library in some package website. I'll try to write the guide right now, however, I don't think this guide could cover 100% from downloading code to make install, may be in some step, I've installed library before and don't need install again but the other could follow my steps and have an idea.
I'll combine petascope with embedded jetty to start_rasdaman.sh, "make" after that.
comment:11 Changed 2 years ago by dmisev
Great Bang. You should also make sure that you can successfully install petascope, see http://rasdaman.org/wiki/Install#Installingpetascope
comment:12 Changed 2 years ago by bphamhuu
Hi Dimitar,
Please help when I've tested Petascope with Jetty after compiled Rasdaman in Centos 7. Yesterday, I could run normally without any error (for GetCoverages?, DescribeCoverages?).
+ It looks like when I compile rasdaman from source code in Centos 7 (this morning), it is not good as your compiled RPM, because:
- No petascope.properties and log4j.properties has been created in /etc/rasdaman/
So when I tried to run Petascope (Rasdaman.war) with Jetty embedded it has error like this:
log4j:ERROR Ignoring configuration file [/etc/rasdaman/log4j.properties]. log4j:WARN No appenders could be found for logger (petascope.ConfigManager). log4j:WARN Please initialize the log4j system properly. 2015-08-20 15:17:31.631:WARN:/rasdaman:main: unavailablejava.lang.RuntimeException: Failed loading the settings file /etc/rasdaman/petascope.properties
+ I also want to insert test data to petascope database by rasimport but also error
petascope_insertdemo.sh: inserting `mean_summer_airtemp' 2D demo dataset for WC*S and WMS services... rasimport::main(): could not access connection file '/root/.rasdaman/rasconnect'!
I have no idea about the "dot" in /.rasdaman/ (what is this mean?). It looks like the make install could not create the "file rasconnect" too.
comment:13 Changed 2 years ago by dmisev
Please check wiki:Install#Installingpetascope?, petascope.properties etc. are created in $RMANHOME/etc/ (RMANHOME is the directory where you install rasdaman, you give this directory when you ./configure --prefix=$RMANHOME).
Read this on how to setup rasimport: wiki:Install#rasgeo?
comment:14 Changed 2 years ago by bphamhuu
Thanks Dimitar,
I've reinstalled with RMANHOME (/home/rasdaman/install) and could see the file petascope.properties and log4j.proeperties. However, they don't exist in folder /etc/rasdaman (?) then I've to copy file to these folder.
When I've shown you problem with connect to database postgres from petascope.properties, it's not need to follow the guide by creating user postgresql (I've created it before), it's error because I just thought your parser could pass common "# character, then when this guide http://rasdaman.org/wiki/Install#PreparePostgreSQL said should modify
metadata_user=rasdaman # petauser (Here is what I've done) <--- then when run jetty jave, it complained about read metadata error
Now I could run jetty as yesterday, but because Petascope need file 'def.war' too, so I need to figure out how to embedded petascope.war and def.war with jetty.jar tomorrow.
About 'rasgeo' and 'rascontrol', I could create this connection file by using this command. So the "dot" in .rasdaman is just to make it special ("hidden from user"), that is all I want to know. After that, I've run petascope_import and it look like it could insert coverage to database (tested by view on localhost:8080/rasdaman/ows), but still have warning
inserting `mean_summer_airtemp' 2D demo dataset for WC*S and WMS services... petascope_insertdemo.sh: Warning: WMS initialization for mean_summer_airtemp failed. petascope_insertdemo.sh: Reloading the server capabilities might have failed (assuming localhost:8080): please try to restart the server and check WMS GetCapabilities. petascope_insertdemo.sh: Warning: WMS pyramid creation for mean_summer_airtemp failed.
Anyway, thanks for your day.
comment:15 Changed 2 years ago by bphamhuu
Hi Dimitar,
Please help with some error when I've tried to combine def.war and rasdaman.war with embedded jetty. I don't know how to test it correctly (I just tried to test on web page localhost:8080/rasdaman/ows and stuck at DescribeCoverage? function).
Have a look on these image below, thanks!
- I run the java file to start jetty server embedded, it looks ok (although it complained about WMS Server not found but still run the Web Server) when I could access the address of Petascope.
- After that, some query to GetCapabilities? of server has done, it looks ok.
- The problem when I click on the Coverage named 'mean_summer_airtemp' and it tried to DescribeCoverage? of this coverage and has some error with Secore (I guess).
- However, if I click "DescribeCoverage?" again, it appears the basic coverage of this coverage and notice that GML of Secore CRS has been cached.
- Last, although I've installed Rasdaman 9.1.0 but I still could not insert coverage with wcst_import.sh and JSON ingredient with the file of Rasdaman's example (mean_summerair_temp.tif) and it is error.
Have a lunch first and hope could see your help.
comment:16 Changed 2 years ago by dmisev
Maybe you can change the secore endpoint in petascope.properties, instead of localhost to kahlua.eecs.jacobs-university.de to eliminate that error.
I'm not sure about the nil value error, in the latest petascope it should be fixed. Can you try adding in your ingredients file below the "mock" option and see if it helps:
"default_null_values": ["0"]

3 Free Things To Do This Week in Metro Phoenix
Discuss the sustainability of Phoenix at the Heard Museum this week for free.
Alan Stark via Flickr
There are few things better in life than getting something absolutely free. And as we start out a new month (how is it already June?), keeping a little extra cash in pocket can't be a bad thing. From questioning our city's existence to belting out some good ol' show tunes, we've got three events that will keep both your wallet and your social calendar filled up.
"Should Phoenix Exist?"
When you think about it, it's kind of crazy that Phoenix has become what it is — an inhabitable city in the middle of the desert. Zócalo Public Square will host a discussion exploring our city's presence in the desert with a panel consisting of New York University historian Andrew Needham, former Phoenix mayor Terry Goddard, and director of ASU's Kyl Center for Water Policy at Morrison Institute Sarah Porter. Join the discussion Tuesday, June 2, from 6:30 to 9 p.m. at the Heard Museum, 2301 North Central Avenue. An RSVP is required at zocalopublicsquare.org/event/should-phoenix-exist.

The Good Neighbor Initiative Art Show
A good neighbor can be hard to find, so when you have one, you should appreciate them. The people at Trellis and 6th Ave Gallery agree, which is why on Friday, June 5, from 6 to 9 p.m. they'll be celebrating these rare finds during The Good Neighbor Initiative Art Show. The Good Neighbor Initiative will be recognizing 12 good neighbors throughout the year and awarding them with creatively designed benches. These front porch pieces of are will be on display, live music will be playing, and free refreshments will be served at 650 North Sixth Avenue. For more information, visit trellisaz.org/goodneighbor.

PHILADELPHIA - The Penn men's tennis team looks to continue its perfect run in 2010 when the Red and Blue take on Georgetown Wednesday at 3 p.m. in the Levy Pavilion.
The Quakers are 4-0 this season, and recorded a 4-3 victory over Navy in their last match. Against the Midshipmen, Penn won two of three doubles matches and also took victories at No. 3, No. 4 and No. 5 singles to clinch the match. Sophomore Eugen Brazdil and senior Adam Schwartz lost at No. 1 and No. 2 respectively.
Sophomore Phil Law continued his perfect run on the season, winning in No.1 doubles and No. 3 singles to improve to 4-0 in both. Freshman Jason Magnes is also unbeaten in both singles and doubles this year, taking No. 3 doubles and No. 4 singles against Navy. Jason Lin also provided the victory at No. 5 singles and is unbeaten in singles.
Georgetown enters the match with a 4-2 mark on the year, including two straight. The Hoyas beat Bucknell 6-1 and dispatched of Lehigh 5-2 last week. The last time these two foes faced off was during the 2007-08 campaign when the Quakers posted a 4-3 victory at home.

Our bespoke LPC is 6.5 months in duration and Linklaters pays course fees and provides a maintenance grant. It is undertaken at the Moorgate branch of the University of Law and includes an opportunity to gain a MSc in Law, Business and Management. For those who wish to convert their LPC into a MSc qualification, they will be given the option to undertake a business based case study and a panel presentation at the end of the LPC course.
Once you join us
Once you have joined us on a training contract, the career path is as follows:
Training contract
London and global orientation programmes
As part of your three-week induction to the firm, you will be introduced to topics such as commercial awareness, global legal systems, research, analysis and drafting skills, as well as risk and project management. In the final week new lawyers from around the Linklaters global network join the programme, so you can start to build relationships with your peers from global offices. Here, you will also receive training on our approach to diversity and working globally.
Supervision and training
Your training contract will comprise four six-month seats. In our experience, this is the only way to achieve the depth and quality of experience to put you in the best position for qualification. Linklaters has market-leading expertise across the full range of practice areas, so you will experience a range of work of the highest quality, joining teams of different lawyers in distinct practice areas and working with individuals who are leaders in their field. You will be assigned a principal in each department, who acts as a mentor and provides overall training and supervision for that seat, as well as formal and continuous feedback throughout your seat. For more information on your training contract, click here.
"What I enjoy about being a principal the most is seeing my trainees develop as lawyers."
Francesca Matthews
Managing Associate in Projects
You may spend one or more of your seats on secondment. Over two thirds of trainees spend time in an international office and a further one third in a client organisation. Find out more about the training contract here.
Once you qualify, you will join one of the areas you worked in as a trainee. Most people are offered their first choice of practice area. Linklaters has market-leading expertise across all practice areas so you can be confident in choosing the one that is the most interesting to you. The Linklaters Law & Business School provides a continuous development programme for our lawyers. Associates undertake the Practice Diploma Programme and participate in training specific to their area of practice. Many associates also undertake client secondments and explore training in relation to a secondary area of expertise.
Managing Associate (MA)
Four years after qualification, you will be eligible for promotion to Managing Associate. At this point you will become more engaged in the business, solving more difficult legal issues, leading teams, and accounting for financial performance. Our Managing Associates continue their professional development through the MA Diploma, which includes our Leaders of the Future programme, which is attended alongside Business Services Managers.
After two or more years as an MA you may be considered for a counsel role. People promoted to the role of counsel may be on a route to partnership or on an alternative career path. As part of the promotion process each counsel candidate will clearly understand the basis on which they are being considered.
The technical ability of a counsel candidate must match the technical ability of a partner. In addition, each counsel candidate is assessed to ensure they are of partner standard in three of five further areas on which partner candidates are also judged.
Once a person is promoted to the role of counsel they will attend a development programme which is designed to support them in transitioning into their new role.
After two or more years as an MA (minimum six years after qualification), the very best Managing Associates may be considered for election to the partnership. Partners are acknowledged world-class experts in their fields. The learning process never stops. New partners participate in an 18-month leadership programme, including content on strategy, winning new business, leading our people and fee negotiations. All new partners also receive coaching from trained internal partner coaches.
Going further
The global economy is changing so fast that each new generation of lawyer needs to learn new skills and apply new types of thinking. We also believe that our strength as a firm, lies in the fact that our people have a restless desire to improve. This is why we developed the Linklaters Law & Business School. Wherever you are in your career, our professional development and training will increase your knowledge and allow you to enhance your expertise in your chosen area of law.
The Linklaters Law & Business School
This is an industry-leading framework for career-long continuous professional development. We've created a holistic syllabus that blends business skills with technical knowledge to give people a mix of expertise.
Quality and credibility
The Linklaters Law & Business School draws on the experience of clients, colleagues, and our global advisory board of business leaders and academics. The syllabus has been designed in partnership with some of the world's most prestigious institutions, including the University of Law, Harvard Law School and the University of Cambridge.
What will you gain?
We'll give you the knowledge and confidence to serve our clients at the very highest levels, along with the tools to achieve your own career objectives.
Above and beyond
The size and success of Linklaters means we can offer an unrivalled choice and flexibility in your career development. We want you to maximise your full potential, exploring the learning opportunities that interest you, and building your career by excelling in the areas of law that you most enjoy. Qualifying as a lawyer is an important milestone on your professional journey, but it's not a destination. If anything, this is where the real journey begins. Some of our lawyers have moved to different areas of practice within Linklaters, in order to further their chosen career paths. For example, you can see an interview with one of our Partners, Alex Beidas, who moved from Corporate to Employment & Incentives. Training at Linklaters can also provide a solid foundation for different career opportunities for our people, for example working in-house at client organisations.
"Linklaters has always had a culture that accepts anyone with a contribution to make and in many ways, I think that I was a Linklaters person in spirit before I ever arrived at the firm."

Book Review: The Autumn LeavesPosted on: 29 September 2008 by Gareth Hargreaves
Roger Blount's book reviewed by one of the 50connect Bookworms.
The publisher's blurb might give the impression that this book is in the mould of Last of the Summer Wine. After all, here is another group of elderly retired men, who enjoy using their leisure time for getting up to mischief.
They, however, have none of the naivety of their small screen counterparts; their tricks are much more sophisticated. The setting for their mischief is a small American town ironically called Wannabee; more specifically at the exclusive Wannabee Golf and Country Club.
It is here that the foursome regularly plays golf together. Harry, the ringleader and mischief maker-in-chief is ably abetted by two of the others, Al and Rick.
They were not above playing a trick on the fourth man, the money obsessed Sol. It was designed to gently part him from the five dollar stake for which they all play. Although sure he was duped, he could not quite work out how it was done. In spite of this fun at Sol's expense, they do have a fondness for him that later becomes apparent.
The Club Secretary, Dinsdale, who saw this particular trick, thought he might turn the knowledge of money being exchanged to his advantage. He disliked these men, particularly Harry who was a thorn in his side. In fact, it was his ardent wish to get rid of all four of them. He prided himself on his efficient running of the club and they upset the orderly balance.
Dinsdale was tired of the frequent complaints about them, particularly from the Lady Captain and a group of lady members. They were frequently held up by the men's deliberate slowness on the greens. It so infuriated them that, together, they plotted to get revenge; particularly on the ringleader.
However, in spite of his detestation of Harry, in many ways, he had a sneaking admiration for the man. When he found that there was a serious problem regarding the franchising of the club, the Secretary was worried. He was not above taking Harry into his confidence and enlisting his help to make sure that the franchise would never happen.
The tale continues with the twists and turns of Harry's tricks and the plots against him. It would be unfair to give them away. It is much more fun to follow them one by one as they are disclosed.
From the first chapters, it feels that this is more of a book for men, rather than having universal appeal. Then, as the story progresses, the background of each of the quartet is revealed and his family life introduced. This element draws the reader's sympathy and understanding and a certain warmth creeps in.

I honestly liked being pregnant. Through both of my pregnancies I channeled my inner goddess and connected deeply with growing a little being inside my belly.
But being pregnant is not without its downsides...Fatigue, morning sickness, swollen feet. And stretch marks.
We all dread them. So many women say they are inevitable, and you can't get rid of them. They say stretch marks are genetic, and there's nothing you can do about it.
That really isn't true. There are many ways to reduce and prevent them if you are proactive.
My 5 Best Stretch Mark Prevention Tips
1 - Prevention is the key, so start treatment early - before you even see them appear.
If they do appear, treat them aggressively while they are still red. It usually takes several months before they turn white, at which point it is more difficult to get rid of them.
2 - Hydration - During pregnancy your body has increased its demand for hydration. You should be drinking at least one half of your body weight in fluid ounces. So if you weigh 120 pounds, drink 60 fluid ounces or more.
If drinking that much water is nauseating, try drinking herbal teas, seltzer water, or water flavored with lemon, berries or even veggies such as cucumber. Although tempting, avoid sweetened drinks.
3 - Eat foods to support skin elasticity. These foods include a diet rich in collagen, the tissue that keeps skin together. Collagen replenishes necessary amino acids such as glycine, lysine and proline, which are essential to supporting the body's ability to repair and maintain healthy skin.
Great sources of collagen include zinc, bone broth and gelatin from bones of grass fed cows, vitamin A, C and E. You can also take a collagen supplement, which usually comes as a flavorless powder you can add to drinks.
4 - Home remedies are effective if you have the time to gather all of the ingredients, find a good recipe and make it. If you go the home remedy route, the find one that includes these key ingredients:
Coconut Oil - Contains saturated fats that strengthen the cell walls by nourishing the skin with fatty acids that fight free radicals to reduce the skin damage.
Beeswax - Moisturizes, protects, heals, and softens skin.
Cocoa Butter or Shea Butter - Both are two of the best emollients (soften and smooths skin).
Calendula - Stimulates the production of collagen and minimizes scarring.
5 - Moisturize frequently with a natural stretch mark cream or belly butter. As you gain weight during pregnancy, your skin stretches and can tear. The more you moisturize the more you can help prevent and repair those tears.
There are some really good creams available. I prefer organic ingredients for things that go in or on my body, which is why I used Mama Belly Butter from Best Nest Wellness. I bought it on Amazon. It has all four ingredients I mentioned above - organic coconut oil, beeswax, organic cocoa butter and calendula - plus it has several other organic oils and ingredients to keep moisture in and protect your skin. And it smells like orange candy! :)

Taylor Swift And Calvin Harris Celebrate One-Year Anniversary On Social Media
Taylor Swift and boyfriend Calvin Harris–whom I have just learned is a Scottish DJ an album titled "I Created Disco," which I find odd because he was born in 1984 and that would require some kind of time travel mechanism–celebrated their one-year anniversary this weekend. In real time, not time-travel-time. Naturally, they posted many celebratory pictures and videos on social media so that we may all take part in their joy.
Harris posted this video to Snapchat.
And Swift posted this picture of a locket featuring their anniversary date to Instagram.
Aren't they precious?

The cuddliest of all Kims has been in news lately for the Sony hack scandal. But, as news from N. Korea confirms, this is just another feather in his hat.
Here is a roundup of all of Kim's crazy antics to reiterate his status as a demigod/top badass/ Jesus reincarnate.
Wins vote by 100%. Always.
Earlier this year, Kim called elections in his country. With Himself as the sole candidate. He won, with 100% of the votes. Although some might attribute it to the absence of any opposition parties, we put it up on Kim's irresistible charisma and undeniable charms.
For Kim, there's no such thing as too much cheese
Forever a perpetuator of positive body image, Kim doesn't believe in not eating what makes him
painfully fat happy.
So he feeds himself his favorite Swiss cheese. Unimaginably great quantities of it. So much of cheese that the supreme leader has reportedly developed a limp in his leg, and a ballooned figure. But Kim, declared the sexiest man on Earth by The Onion, is #fab. He continues to import cheese from Switzerland while millions in his country starve.

If Kim cannot have it, no-one else will
Given his deplorable human rights record, it might come as a surprise that Kim's love is extended to humans. But the supreme commander of the Korean People's Army pulls off super-human tasks, just like that. He was once in love with a certain North Korean dame.
Post-breakup, Kim was filled with grief, denial, hopelessness, like any other normal human being. So he did what any other person would do. He allegedly had his ex executed.
But let's be fair, Kim probably thought he was doing her a favor by ending a life deprived of His Glorious Presence.
Kim can pull off a bad hair day. Any day.
But that is an understatement. Our Respectable Leader is perhaps the only person to be able to score bad hair weeks. Months, even. His magnificent hairdo has managed to offend millions of people since Kim made his first public appearance. His hairpiece alone could be used as a weapon of mass destruction, against the enemies of the nation, against the collective sanity of the human race.
While his underachieving namesake, Kim K, was failing miserably in trying to break the internet, our Kim managed to (reportedly) hack Sony's website, reveal embarrassing, hate-filled emails exchanged by the heads and upload AN ENTIRE MOVIE ONLINE.
This, because Sony dared to portray our leader in a negative light. So Kim did what was necessary to stop this 'act of terrorism', as his government itself called it.
At just 31, when most of you are contemplating what to do with the rest of your lives, and concerned about receding hairlines and ebbing fertility, Our Leader managed to get Hollywood to pull out a major movie. Seriously guys, kneel before him.

The guy has serious plans to take over the universe. It's high time we accept Him as Supreme Leader and Father of the People of the World.

Thank you for your response, just to clarify, there are four things I need to file.? What would be the form name and what would I need to add to them? all the police reports and my civil harassment case information and the emails of threats including the one where I requested repair? Due to the continued threats, harassment and time off to address all things received created the job loss so filing the motion to stay to my understanding if rent can not be paid is will be denied. I don't qualify for legal aid in my county and with no funds to pay for assistance I have no options, but to use services like here. I have called and left messages on multiple voicemails, websites, etc since last year, I have lost money on sites claiming to have lawyers that can help and to no prevail, not much of anything which has lead me hear. I am only trying to right a wrong, the due process of giving a reason, addressing what I was accused of. Had I been given that right after provided all documents pertaining to this matter I might not have been here. Laws are in place for a reason I do understand that, with that being said I am not pleading innocence, I am only asking that l have to chance to legally defend myself. Thank you and God Bless.

God's Artistry in a Completely Unexpected Sea Creature
By April 6, 2011|
Will There Be Animals in Heaven? from Randy Alcorn - EPM on Vimeo.
In this 5-minute video, Randy Alcorn talks about Romans 8:18-22, which says that the whole creation was subject to suffering and futility because of human sin. Creation is under man's dominion and will share the rewards of his redemption just as it shared the punishment for his sin.

Uncharted Waters (大航海時代 Dai-kōkai jidai , lit. Age of the Great Voyages) is a popular Japanese video game series produced by Koei as part of its Rekoeition games. In East Asia, the series has a large cult following, but has not received much recognition outside the region. The series has been compared to Sid Meier's Pirates! in gameplay and theme. It is a simulation and CRPG series dealing with sailing and trading.
In the games, the player takes up the role of a captain (also called commodore in some translations) and manages a seagoing fleet to participate in trades, privateering, treasure hunting, exploration, and plain piracy. Even though the series is largely open-ended, there is still a loose plot which requires the player to follow certain paths, and deviating from these paths may stall the progress of the story.
Historical background
In Japanese, the term Daikoukai Jidai refers to the period between the 15th century and the 17th century, when European explorers sailed the seas to open new alternative ways to Asia when the Ottoman Empire blocked the land routes.
This period was characterized by the rivalry between Spain and Portugal, the advent of colonization, and general exploration. In later games, other countries are also involved. Some historical events during the Age of Exploration, like the Treaty of Tordesillas, were mentioned.
The game series makes many references to the historical background, although much like Pirates!, the more treacherous details of the era are idealized to create a more adventurous and exciting mood.
Uncharted Waters
In the first game of the series, the player assumes the role of Leon Franco, the young, ambitious son of a noble family fallen on hard times in Portugal (although "Leon" is not a common Portuguese name). The goal of the game is to restore the family's former glory and achieve Leon's dreams. Only three nations are represented, Portugal, Spain and the Ottoman Empire, although there are many neutral ports around the world that the player can "invest" in and thus make part of Portugal's sphere of influence. This, as well as discovering ports and defeating other merchants and pirates in sea battles, increases Leon's fame. With increased fame, Leon can complete tasks for the King of Portugal and gain higher titles of nobility.
The story is set in the early 16th century. It was released on MSX and Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991, and Genesis and Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1992, with the SNES versions known as Super Daikoukai Jidai in Japan. The English versions were also released in the same years respectively. The game was ported to PC, as well.
Uncharted Waters: New Horizons
Known as Daikoukai Jidai II in Japan, this game is perhaps the most famous of the series. Even though an English version exists, it still has not managed to achieve the mainstream popularity Pirates! had. There is only a relatively small following outside of East Asia.
Also set in the 16th century, this game is a sequel to the first title and was released for NEC PC-98, SNES and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis in 1994. It was the last part of the series to be ported for PC. It also saw releases in 1996 on Sega Saturn and PlayStation in Japan exclusively. The Super NES version recently appeared on Nintendo's Virtual Console in Japan on March 17, 2009 and in North America on April 6, 2009.[1]
In this game, there are six protagonists to choose from, each of them representing a different path or career featured in the game. They are listed as follows:
- João Franco: Son of Leon from the first game, a Portuguese explorer sent by his father to follow the family's footsteps and discover the secrets of the lost Atlantis continent.
- Catalina Erantzo: Former Spanish naval officer turned pirate, she avenges the loss of her brother and her fianceé and suspects that the Franco family is behind this scheme. She is loosely based upon the historical character of Catalina de Erauso, the Lieutenant Nun.
- Otto Baynes: English naval officer, a privateer sent by Henry VIII in a secret mission to defeat the Spanish Armada and prevent Spanish hegemony in the European continent.
- Ernst von Bohr: Dutch teacher and cartographer, he is set to make a journey to far lands and with this experience create a map of the entire world.
- Pietro Conti: Italian treasure hunter, he inherited a huge debt from his father and is set to travel for treasures and other secrets in order to cover the debt.
- Ali Vezas: Turkish merchant, he grew up as an orphan in extreme poverty. With the help of his friend, he decides to become a trade merchant and find his lost sister.
While the game is more or less open-ended, developing the character's career is necessary to advance the plot.
Mobile Uncharted Waters II
In 2007, Koei announced the release of mobile daikoukai jidai 2 (English: Mobile Uncharted Waters II) [1]. The game is a port of the original game for both iMode and Yahoo Mobile capable mobile phones in Japan.
Daikoukai Jidai III: Costa Del Sol
Released in 1996 on PC, this title was the first to depart from the formula and engine of the series. The traditional focus on story was removed in this game, and some character customization is possible, if only purely decorative. There are two player characters from Portugal and Spain. Although the differences between them are mainly mechanical, the role-playing element was greatly reduced.
The theme of exploration is heavily emphasized, as land travel is now possible, and there is a lot more to be explored and discovered overall, compared to the early titles. The game starts in the mid fifteenth century and allows for the player to make historical discoveries such as the New World or a route to India as well as conquer civilizations like the Aztec and Inca Empire. Also, the game experiments with the concept of language in a video game, a feature uncommon in the industry, and necessitating the hiring of translators and teachers. The player can also continue the game by marrying bar-girls and having children, who in turn can continue the seafaring tradition and even take on part of his father's skills and inventory. Perhaps it is due to these dramatic changes that Daikoukai Jidai 3 left players uncomfortable and failed to achieve much popularity even within Japan.
At its initial release, this title caused some controversy for allowing slave trade in the game. The feature is disabled in later updates.
Unlike most games in the series, this game was never released for consoles; it was only released for PC, working under Windows 2000.
Daikoukai Jidai Gaiden
A side story released in 1997 on PlayStation and Sega Saturn after New Horizons, the game uses the same engine and focuses on the story of two characters instead, further expounding upon the loose plot that ties the series together. The two protagonists are as follows:
- Miranda Verte: Genoese adventurer who mistakenly thought the treasure hunter, Pietro Conti, had asked for her hand in marriage, and sets off to find him. Her quest eventually leads to a plot relating to an ancient civilisation in South America, which were touched on by Pietro's previous adventure.
- Salvador Reis: Pirate and adopted son of Hayreddin Reis (aka Khayr ad-Din). His adventure involves rising to fame as one of the Algerian pirates, compete for domination with enemy pirate clans and also struggle for power within his own clan.
Daikoukai Jidai IV: Porto Estado
The fourth game in the series was released in 2000 for both PlayStation and PC under Windows 2000 and XP. This game returns to the previous formula, although its open-endedness has decreased and the engine has been updated. This title is plot-wise unrelated to the series that ended in Gaiden. Porto Estado is known for its fine art and high-quality illustrations.
The story evolves on the search of the seven Proof of the Conqueror, which are seven ancient artifacts, in seven areas around the world (Northern Europe, Mediterranean, Africa, New World, Indian Ocean, South Asia and East Asia). It is said that having these proofs proves that the sailor is the champion of all sailors. Four sailors (plus another three in expansion) unwittingly involved in the struggle of the quest of the search of the Proof of the Conqueror. It is interesting that not all sailors are from Europe: two of the seven characters are from Asia (one from East Asia and another from southeast Asia), one from Caribbean and another one from Middle East.
There are many significant changes in this game. For example, the game no longer has the concept of year and the result is that characters in this game will not age. Also, player can set up regional fleets and these regional fleets are valuable financial resources. In combat, naval battle is now fought in real time.
The country boundaries have disappeared. Each character is only represented by their own guild and their home country is not important in gameplay. Ports in this game also have a market share rating in a percentage scale. Players can trade in a port only when his guild has some market share in that port, which can be gained by signing a contract with the local governor.
Daikoukai Jidai IV: Rota Nova
Rota Nova was released by KOEI in March 23, 2006 for the PlayStation Portable and Nintendo DS. This is a remake of Porto Estado for handhelds:
- The PSP version includes a ship race function.
- The DS version includes use of the stylus and map.
Uncharted Waters Online
- Main article: Uncharted Waters Online
Uncharted Waters Online offers much of the same gameplay experience seen in the single player games in a multiplayer environment. Players of the single player series will be well aware of similar concepts such as Missions, Adjutants, Investment, and National & Pirate NPC fleets.
Country boundaries have reappeared, however the concept of time is non-existent. The storyline is important to unlocking new areas in the game.
The game introduces a 3d-environment with DirectX 9.0c capabilities. As any MMORPG the game features fleet operations (party-system), companies (guilds), player-vs-player combat, trade, adventure, and poker, and large-scale factional warfare. As well, the game offers a single player storyline and player-vs-environment quests.
Uncharted Waters Online La Frontera
"La Frontera" is the name of the expansion pack for Uncharted Waters Online released in Japan on 8/30/06. The expansion includes new areas and a new gameplay extending the "age of discovery" into its maturity of the 16th and 17th centuries. The first chapter for the expansion is titled "Aztec", in which "a new adventure begins" as players "seek out the legend of El Dorado" ([2]).
Succeeding chapters will be released later containing even more areas and gameplay.
The soundtracks for both Uncharted Waters and New Horizons were composed by Yoko Kanno. The soundtrack for Uncharted Waters Online is based in part on those works.[2]

|Thriller . Drama
Rachel Singer is a former Mossad agent who tried to capture a notorious Nazi war criminal – the Surgeon of Birkenau – in a secret Israeli mission that ended with his death on the streets of East Berlin. Now, 30 years later, a man claiming to be the doctor has surfaced, and Rachel must return to Eastern Europe to uncover the truth. Overwhelmed by haunting memories of her younger self and her two fellow agents, the still-celebrated heroine must relive the trauma of those events and confront the debt she has incurred.

|More Info:
Bristling with dangers both corporeal and cerebral, The Debt is a superbly crafted espionage thriller packed with Israeli-Nazi score settling.Los Angeles Times Full Review
Christensen plays him with Lecter-like intensity; the unsettling calmness of someone capable of anything.Tampa Bay Times Full Review
The Debt is basically an entertaining riff on "Munich." It's about a (fictional) operation of top secret Israeli revenge, carried out by three highly trained agents whose plan goes off the rails in ways that are more fascinating than the mission itself.Entertainment Weekly Full Review
Predictably, the holes in the narrative set us up for a twist or three, but, in balance, it's a pleasure to be back in the wet alleys and spy-patrolled streets of the GDR, however vague they seem without '60s black-and-white cinematography.Village Voice Full Review
This is real edge-of-your-seat stuff, in a throwback way - no booming special effects, just old-school timing and execution.Arizona Republic Full Review
It is an exciting movie, full of crises and dramatic turns despite an aura of sadness that seems to pervade it.San Francisco Chronicle Full Review
Although they might have wished for something less conventional, it's the thrills that make this movie.Christian Science Monitor Full Review
Madden has the wisdom to give most of the heavy emotional lifting to Mirren, who continues to shine at the age of 66.Charlotte Observer Full Review
A more daring script might have found ways to tell the stories in parallel, doling out just enough information to keep viewers involved. But, as it is, The Debt grasps the viewer pretty firmly, delivering thrills without trivializing the moral quandaries that set it in motion.Washington Post Full Review
With its blend of taut action and profound revelations, The Debt is definitely worth an audience's investment.USA Today Full Review
A story like this requires a villain worthy of decades of built up horror and rage, and Christensen provides a thoroughly credible stimulus for the nail-biting events of the film.Portland Oregonian Full Review
What the three pairs of actors lack in semblance (or resemblance), they make up for to a great extent in their performances.Philadelphia Inquirer Full Review
The Debt eventually settles into a predictable groove that slightly undercuts its impact. Still, it's a film of ambition and substance.St. Louis Post-Dispatch Full Review
Madden's dark, moody, complex exploration of guilt and identity taps into a rich vein of moral ambiguity, but the filmmakers should know that in the face of unspeakable Nazi evil, the romantic problems of three little people don't amount to a hill of beans.The A.V. Club Full Review
The acting is superb across-the-board, with the three younger performers deserving accolades.ReelViews Full Review
The film's a potboiler but a gripping one, and it leaves you chewing on both its nuances and implausibilities.Boston Globe Full Review
"The Debt," a very good 2007 Israeli thriller with Cold War and Holocaust connections, earns a nerve-wracking and entertaining Hollywood remake.Orlando Sentinel Full Review
The Debt is a little too gray and stolid - by which we may simply mean too true to its complex milieu - to qualify as scintillating entertainment. But at the end of a summer in which anything like reality was banned from movie houses, this gnarly political thriller has a tonic effectTime Full Review
The remake ups the adrenaline factor, and features strong performances across the board, yet feels bogged down by a weighty love triangle and a subject that merits more than the old-school good vs. evil approach.Variety Full Review
As The Debt grows more complex and suspenseful, it also becomes more literal, losing some of its dramatic intensity.The New York Times Full Review
Perhaps the discrete delegation of the thrills to the 1966 story and the moral quandaries to the 1997 story is what prevents The Debt from congealing as well as it might have. Life is rarely that neat.Austin Chronicle Full Review
Political thrillers with flawed heroes demand a different potion, one that mixes the grit of reality with the seeds of excitement until they reach a critical mass and explode. In that sense, for all its strengths and good intentions, The Debt owes a debt to the wrong genre – Birkenau wasn't fantasy; too often, this movie is.The Globe and Mail (Toronto) Full Review
There are some nice surprises in store, as well, but the longer Madden's story goes on, the more manufactured things tend to feel.New Orleans Times-Picayune Full Review
Chastain (a nifty match-up with Mirren) is a live wire, and her scenes with Csokas and Worthington have a spark the later scenes lack. No matter. The Debt holds you in its grip.Rolling Stone Full Review
The architecture of The Debt has an unfortunate flaw. The younger versions of the characters have scenes that are intrinsically more exciting, but the actors playing the older versions are more interesting. Helen Mirren, Tom Wilkinson and Ciaran Hinds bring along the weight of their many earlier roles. To be sure, the older actors get some excitement of their own, but by then, the plot has lost its way.Chicago Sun-Times Full Review
Its performances are resourceful and affecting, with Chastain and Worthington in the past sequences, and Mirren and Wilkinson in the later chapters, exuding a complicated mess of responsibility, guilt, sacrifice, revenge, and regret.Slant Magazine Full Review
The movie drowns the deeper questions it raises in a sadistic procedural, an endless circular motion of fight scenes whose only justification is themselves.NPR Full Review
A smart, tense, well-acted thriller undercut by a disappointing finale and an occasional lack of focus. But at least this offers something for those looking for a film with more on its mind than simple set-pieces.Empire Full Review
As a thriller, The Debt performs many if not all the right moves. Where the John Madden-directed film gets into trouble is in wanting to deal with the Holocaust without being entirely a period film.The Hollywood Reporter Full Review
Despite some early whispers of awards potential, The Debt is nothing more than a gritty thriller with a highbrow pedigree.New York Daily News Full Review
Just when many may have thought that Cold War thrillers had gone out of fashion, along comes one to reinvigorate the genre.Boxoffice Magazine Full Review
The Debt shortchanges itself severely with the weight it gives the portion of its story set further in the past.Movieline Full Review
As with Spielberg's "Munich," there is an awkward, irresoluble tension between the movie's urge to thrill and the weighty pull of the historical obligations that it seeks to assume. How much, to be blunt, should we be enjoying ourselves? What do we owe to The Debt? Whatever the sum, it is more than the film itself, gloomy with unease, seems able to repay.The New Yorker Full Review
Any self-respecting period piece, historical drama or even caper movie - and The Debt is all three - balances issues of global significance with interpersonal drama. The problem here is that the personal eclipses the global. The stakes are too low.Wall Street Journal Full Review
Director Madden vacillates between treating the issues and historical context of The Debt seriously, and as the story demands, as pure, heavy-handed pulp. The cast does what it can in the service of this assignment. But some jobs simply resist satisfying completion.Chicago Tribune Full Review
A strong cast fails to rescue this ponderous Oscar bait.Chicago Reader Full Review
Despite the chronological juggling, the film's stylistic debts (a Hitchcock flashback borrowed from Stage Fright, a Bertolucci-esque apartment sequence that could be titled Last Tango in Auschwitz) are simplistic to a fault; they lack the multifaceted suspense and sensuality typified by those directors at their best.Time Out New York Full Review

Yes, absolutely! Noah actually refused the bottles starting about a month ago. I do believe this is because I increased his diet by adding more solids and introducing new foods frequently. His pediatrician gave me the okay to start introducing jar fruits and veggies at about 4-6 months. I gradually increased his diet, and as I did he no longer needing the bottle as often to stay full. Soon, I was feeding him small meals regularly; he refused the bottle for about 2 weeks, so I purchased a sippy cup and he has been doing great on it! Our sleeping schedule has become so much better since he has been eating solid foods.

text: We have decided to stay at AKL in a standard view room. I read on AllEars that the standard rooms are on floors 1-4. 1) Is there a better area or floor to request? FIL has a bad knee and doesn't want to walk farther than he has to. 2) I noticed the buses are near the Giraffe Trail rooms.
