Article content
I remember running into Sukh Dhak by the elevators on the fourth floor of the Vancouver Law Courts last May. It was days after Tom Gisby had been murdered. Things on the streets outside were very tense . And there we were face to face alone in the elevator.
"You should watch yourself," I said.
"Why? What have your heard?" he asked.
"Nothing specific…but come on. Look what's happening."
I didn't know Sukh beyond covering court cases he was involved in over the years and his brother's 2010 murder. But seeing people up close who are targeted for death is kind of chilling. I can't even imagine the stress of, as his brother Gurmit once said, having to "look over my shoulder every day."
Sukh was always polite when I saw him at court, though he said last month that he didn't understand why his drug trial was newsworthy. Thomas Mantel, his burly bodyguard, was pretty obnoxious – swearing at me under his breath at Tom Gisby's funeral last May and again recently in the courthouse corridors.
As is well known now, both were gunned down about 11:30 am Monday in the entrance of the Executive Hotel on Lougheed Highway in Burnaby.
Many police officers I spoke to are already predicting retaliation. The shooting was brazen. Fortunately no one else was hurt. But two families are no doubt devastated about losing their loved ones no matter what we think of them.
Gangster Sukh Dhak and his bodyguard killed in Burnaby hotel shooting
After months of well-publicized threats to his life, gangster Sukh Dhak and his bodyguard Thomas Mantel were shot to death in a brazen targeted execution at a busy Burnaby hotel Monday morning.
Sources in both law enforcement and organized crime confirmed to The Vancouver Sun that it was Dhak and his constant companion Mantel who were slain in front of shocked workers at the Executive Hotel on the Lougheed Highway about 11:30 a.m.
Both men were well-known to police and those involved in the B.C. gang scene.
Dhak, 28, is currently on trial in B.C. Supreme Court for conspiracy and trafficking ecstasy back in 2008. The trial had been adjourned Friday until this morning.
Mantel, 30, was due in Surrey Provincial Court in January for charges of dangerous driving and obstructing a police officer laid in 2010 after an encounter with the Gang Task Force.
The burly, tattooed Mantel would often escort the diminutive Dhak through the Vancouver Law Courts, walking with him from the parking lot to the sixth floor where Dhak's trial was held.
When the pair arrived at the security gate with an X-ray machine and metal detector, Dhak would go through, while Mantel would leave before he could be screened.
Police have warned repeatedly over the last year that Dhak and his associates could be targeted by rivals after a series of tit-for-tat retaliations that began when Dhak's brother Gurmit was gunned down outside Burnaby's Metrotown Mall in October 2010 in another brazen daylight execution.
The violence against Dhak and associates in the Duhre crime group escalated after the August 2011 murder of Red Scorpion gangster Jon Bacon and wounding of Hells Angel Larry Amero and Independent Soldier James Riach.
In fact, Duhre gang leader Sandip Duhre was shot to death in a similar fashion in front of guests and hotel staff in the lobby of the Sheraton Wall Centre on Jan. 16, 2012.
The trail of violence led all the way to Mexico where Dhak associate Tom Gisby was gunned down last April. Both Dhak and Mantel attended Gisby's south Surrey funeral two weeks later.
Police sources say gang tensions are escalating again after a period of relative calm across the Lower Mainland.
And they believe the latest deadly shooting will spur on more violence.
Sgt. Jennifer Pound of the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team said there were a few people around the hotel at the time, but no one else was injured or killed.
"I'm always amazed there aren't more casualties in a shooting like this," she said.
When police arrived at the hotel Monday, one of the victims was lying just outside the building where shattered glass littered the pavement. The body of the second victim straddled the doorway of the large centre.
It is not known whether the shots were fired from within the hotel or outside, said Pound, but police believe the two men were targeted. Two unidentified blond women, one covering her face, were escorted out of the hotel and past reporters by police.
Witnesses say they heard several gunshots.
Chris Hashimoto was just getting out of bed in his condo behind the hotel, on Halifax Street, when the shots were fired. At first, he mistook the noise for nearby construction.
"It sounded like heavy machinery the first couple of times, and after the few shots, the rapid succession, I thought no — that sounded like gunfire," Hashimoto said from his balcony overlooking the scene.
The hotel, on Lougheed Highway between Gilmore and Madison, is situated near a cluster of strip malls with popular restaurants like the Cactus Club and Boston Pizza and big box stores like Staples.
At a neighbouring Napa Auto Parts store, business carried on as usual.
Dan Bulmer was just leaving the parking lot for a trip to the North Shore when he heard what he thought was a jackhammer. He only found out about the shooting when he returned an hour later. One of his colleagues reportedly gave CPR to one of the victims.
A continuing education centre just down the hill from the hotel's main entrance also remained open Monday, although one teacher said she immediately locked her door after students told her they heard the shots.
Student David Wang said he only heard about the shooting after he tried to cross the police tape on his way to the school Monday afternoon.
"It scares me," he said. "Who knows where the shots will go?"
By early afternoon, police had roped off the hotel and were scouring the grounds and around parked cars.
The back door of the hotel was unlocked but the stairs to the lobby were blocked by yellow police tape.
Several chairs and a camera could be seen at the bottom of the stairs.
Both Dhak and Mantel are believed to have been living in Surrey. Police have not said why they were in Burnaby or whether they were meeting someone at the hotel.
The Sun has learned that some longtime associates of Dhak may have recently abandoned his crew in order to have a truce with rivals.
Const. Doug Spencer, a gang specialist who works with the Odd Squad, knew Dhak and his older brother for years, even getting Gurmit to videotape a haunting message before his death about the risks of gang violence.
"The message to kids here is that now we have two brothers gone," Spencer, who is with BC Transit Police, said Monday.
Like his brother, Sukh Dhak wanted out, Spencer said, but couldn't find a way.
"He is getting warned every second week that people are trying to kill him. He knew. He wanted to go," Spencer said.
"Once you get in and things start happening, it is like a bad ride that you can't get off."

At left, U.S. Coast Guard Sector New York Safety and Security Team 3 members descend from the container ship M/V
Maersk Georgia following a boarding operation off New York Harbor Nov. 24. At right, New York Naval Militia (NYNM)

onto the NYNM's Patrol Boat 440.
passports. Everything checked out," boarding team
member Machinery Technician 2nd Class Stephen
Lucarino says as the PB 440 makes its way back to the
Coast Guard station, situated near the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. "It was gravy."
But it's not always "gravy" on these operations.
During the trip out, boarding team members regaled
one another with "war stories" about nearly getting
run over by roll-on/roll-off ships or passing out from
the fumes in a ship's walk-in freezer.
"Imagine that, death by ice cream, what a way to
go," one team member cracked as the others erupted in
"Nothing's ever routine," said Raynock. "Each boarding presents its own challenges. You just never know."
Later that day, Maersk Georgia, which was returning
from a trip to the Middle East, would be piloted through
New York Harbor to the port of Newark, N.J., for an
offload before returning to its homeport in Norfolk, Va.
The NYNM has been assisting the Coast Guard with
merchant vessel boarding operations off New York
Harbor for the past year, following the christening of the
PB 440 into service with the militia's 10-vessel Military
Emergency Boat Service (MEBS) Feb. 1, 2008. The boat
service was created following the 9/11 terrorist attacks to
bolster homeland security and maritime domain awareness in New York state waters, primarily New York
Harbor — the nation's third busiest port — and the exclusion zone around the Indian Point Nuclear Power Plant
in Westchester County, just outside of New York City.
The NYNM is one of about a half-dozen state naval
forces in the United States, and the only active, federally recognized naval militia that has been in continu-
ous service for more than a century. It was formally
mustered into state service in 1891, though its origins
trace back to the Revolutionary War.
The NYNM currently has a force of about 3,000
Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Corps Reservists and
volunteers. Based in Latham, N. Y., it is a component of
the New York State Division of Military and Naval
Affairs, which is responsible for the New York National
Guard, and operates under state authority. The militia's
current commanding officer is Maj. Gen. Robert Wolf,
a retired Marine.
With the creation of the MEBS, the NYNM has taken a
much more active role in contributing to maritime security throughout New York, as well as supporting U.S.
Customs and Border Protection, according to Commodore Donald K. McKnight, MEBS officer-in-charge.
MEBS boats have taken part in border security operations along Lake Champlain; provided additional security during major events in and around New York City,
including the 2004 Republican National Convention,
the annual Fleet Week celebrations and meetings of the
U.N. General Assembly; and participated in interagency
maritime exercises, such as last summer's Operation
Trojan Horse, which included the Coast Guard, Civil Air
Patrol and New York City Police Department.
The state-of-the-art PB 440 — purchased for $790,000
from Moose Boats of Petaluma, Calif., with a federal
homeland security grant — has allowed for yet another
level of cooperation with the Coast Guard, Smith said.
The water-jet-powered boat is capable of speeds up to 40
knots, has a catamaran-design hull and computerized
steering system for increased stability, and a climate-controlled crew compartment that can accommodate

Stockbridge Water System
Is my water safe?
The City of Stockbridge (City) is pleased to report that your community's drinking water met or exceeded all safety and quality standards set by the State of Georgia and EPA during the previous year (2013). This Water Quality Report is intended to inform our customers of where their drinking water comes from, what it contains, and how it compares to standards set by regulatory agencies. Our employees are committed to providing you with safe, dependable tap water on a year round basis and are proud to provide the following information.
Where does my water come from?
The City obtains drinking water from the Henry County Water Authority (HCWA) and from three (3) groundwater wells owned and operated by the City. The City's award winning groundwater system (3 wells) was put into production in October of 2000 and now provides approximately 400,000 gallons per day or about half of the water supply for the Stockbridge Water System. The City receives the remainder of its drinking water supply from the Henry County Water and Sewerage Authority.
The HCWA has five natural surface water sources for obtaining raw water for drinking water production: (1) Indian Creek, (2) Long Branch Creek, (3) the Upper Towaliga River, (4) the Lower Towaliga River, and (5) Tussahaw Creek. From these sources, the HCWA utilizes a network of reservoirs for raw water storage capacity including: (1) the Gardner (210 acres), (2) the Rowland (230 acres), (3) the Strickland (89 acres), and (4) the Cole (1,100 acres), (5) the Tussahaw (1466 acres). The County has four raw water intakes, one located at each reservoir other than the Cole which is utilized for storage and releases water to the Strickland Reservoir downstream on the Towaliga River. The Authority alternately pumps raw water from each reservoir to the County's 2 water treatment plants. Following treatment, the finished drinking water is pumped to its customers.
Why is this water considered safe?
The entire area draining surface water into each of the reservoirs exists within the boundaries of Henry County and contain no wastewater or industrial discharges into the drinking water supply. The Henry County Water and Sewer Authority protects these water supply watersheds through a State approved Water Supply and Watershed Protection Plan as well as county ordinances in place to assure that these watershed areas and our water supply are protected in the future.
The Authority has maintained and operated an award winning water treatment plant since 1976. It is operated around the clock by trained State Certified Operators that perform hundreds of daily tests to insure that the drinking water meets all State and Federal requirements before it leaves the treatment plant. The latest technology in monitoring equipment is being used to assure customers that their water has been treated to the highest standards possible.
After the raw water is pumped from the reservoirs, it is treated and pumped into distribution mains and storage tanks and then flows to the consumer. Water is routinely sampled throughout the entire Henry County system at 225 sampling locations and is checked at these locations for bacteriological quality, chlorine residual, corrosiveness and other parameters by state certified laboratory analysts. Many other tests are also performed by state laboratory personnel at the Environmental Protection Division laboratories. In addition, the City of Stockbridge monitors within its own distribution system for bacteria twice a month and for copper and lead once a year at various locations to further ensure that the water is of the highest quality.
The groundwater supplied by the City of Stockbridge's wells is less susceptible to contamination than surface water. Chemicals are added to the water pumped from the wells for disinfection, to prohibit corrosion, and to add fluoride.
A source water assessment has been completed by HCWSA and the Atlanta Regional Commission. The assessment itemized potential sources of surface water pollution within the watershed areas of the water supply. The overall results of the assessment resulted in a susceptibility ranking of LOW-MEDIUM combining all individual and non-point source rankings. Water quality reports also show no violation in water quality. The results of the assessment can be found on the internet at http://www.atlantregional.com /swap/ or you can request information by mail from the HCWSA at 1695 Hwy 20 W., McDonough, GA 30253.
Contaminants and Health Risks Found in Drinking Water
Drinking water, including bottled water, may reasonably be expected to contain at least small amounts of some contaminants. The presence of contaminants does not necessarily indicate that water poses a health risk. More information about contaminants and potential health effects can be obtained by calling the EPA's Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
Some people may be more vulnerable to contaminants in drinking water than the general population. Immuno-compromised persons, such as persons with cancer undergoing chemotherapy, persons who have undergone organ transplants, people with HIV/AIDS or other immune system disorders, some elderly, and infants can be particularly at risk from infections. These people should seek advice about drinking water from other health care providers. EPA/CDC guidelines on appropriate means to lessen the risk of infection by Cryptosporidium and other microbiological contaminants are available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (1-800-426-4791). Additional information can be obtained over the Internet from:
The sources of drinking water (both tap water and bottled water) include rivers, lakes, streams, ponds, reservoirs, springs, and wells. As water travels over the surface of the land or through the ground, it dissolves naturally-occurring minerals and, in some cases, radioactive material, and can pick up substances resulting from the presence of animals or from human activity. Contaminants that may be present in source water include the following:
In order to ensure that tap water is safe to drink, EPA prescribes regulations that limit the amount of certain contaminants in water provided by public water systems. Food and Drug Administration regulations establish limits for contaminants in bottled water which must provide the same protection for public health.
Water Quality Data
The following table lists all of the drinking water contaminants that were detected during the calendar year of 2012. The presence of contaminants in the water does not necessarily indicate that the water poses a health risk. The State requires us to monitor for certain contaminants daily and others monthly, yearly, or less than once per year because the concentrations of these contaminants do not change frequently.
Terms and Abbreviations Used In Table
All water tests were performed on samples taken from within the City of Stockbridge water system and represent a mixture of the groundwater produced by Stockbridge and the water purchased from HCWA.
(a) Values represent highest single measurement unless otherwise noted.
(b) Average of monthly averages.
(c) Turbidity is a measure of the cloudiness of water. We monitor turbidity because it is a good indicator of the effectiveness of our filtration system.
(d) Lowest % of monthly samples meeting turbidity limits.
(e) Water from the treatment plant does not contain lead or copper, however under EPA test protocol, water is tested at the tap. Tap tests reveal whether lead or copper is corroding from the piping system and contaminating the water supply. Phosphate, a corrosion inhibitor, is added prior to distribution.
(f) 90th percentile.
(g) Number of sites exceeding AL.
(h) Fluoride is added in treatment to bring the natural level to the EPA optimum of 1 part per million.
(i) Annual average.
(j) Results Obtained from Henry County Water Authority
Water from the treatment plant does not contain lead or copper, however under EPA test protocol, water is tested at the tap. Tap tests reveal whether lead or copper is corroding from the piping system and contaminating the water supply. Phosphate, a corrosion inhibitor, is added prior to distribution.
Infants and children who drink water containing lead in excess of the action level could experience delays in their physical or mental development. Children could show slight deficits in attention span or learning abilities. Adults who drink this water over many years could develop kidney problems or high blood pressure. Infants and young children are typically more vulnerable to lead in drinking water than the general population. It is possible that lead levels at your home may be higher than at other homes in the community as a result of materials used in your home's plumbing. If you are concerned about elevated lead levels in your home's water, you may wish to have your water tested and flush your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using tap water. Additional information is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline (800-426-4791).
If present, elevated levels of lead can cause serious health problems, especially for pregnant women and young children. Lead in drinking water is primarily from materials and components associated with service lines and home plumbing. [Water System] is responsible for providing high quality drinking water, but cannot control the variety of materials used in plumbing components. When your water has been sitting for several hours, you can minimize the potential for lead exposure by flushing your tap for 30 seconds to 2 minutes before using water for drinking or cooking. If you are concerned about lead in your water, you may wish to have your water tested. Information on lead in drinking water, testing methods, and steps you can take to minimize exposure is available from the Safe Drinking Water Hotline or at http://www.epa.gov/safewater/lead .

This past Tuesday I volunteered to help out in the classroom, and I learned how she uses some of the Ziploc bags. One of the tasks I performed was to inventory, organize and assemble the literacy "fun" bags so that the kids could start taking them home. The themed literacy bags are totes filled with a book, games and activities and sometimes stuffed animals and the kids take them home to encourage parent involvement in teaching early reading skills and other kindergarten basics. A lot of the totes contain small pieces or things that need to stay together. My daughter's teacher uses the Ziploc bags to keep all the pieces together. Some of the literacy bags even contain bubbles, watercolor paints, and glue! Those items need to be contained in strong and dependable bags so that they don't spill all over and make a big mess. Ziploc bags and literacy? Who knew? But, it's definitely something I'm willing to support!
We use a lot of different Ziploc products in our home so I was very happy to receive several different products to review as part of a Family Review Network blogging opportunity. Ziploc sent us four different products:
· Ziploc Brand sandwich bags
· Ziploc Brand Freezer slider bags with expandable bottom and smart-zip seal (quart)
· Ziploc Brand Storage slider bags with expandable bottom and smart-zip seal (quart)
· Ziploc Brand Containers with the Smart Snap™ Seal (medium square)
I'm sure many of you are familiar with the sandwich bags so they probably don't need much description. However, this is the first time I've tried out the expandable Ziploc slider bag. Both the freezer and storage bags have a special folded bottom that expands out so that the bags stay upright when you fill them. The bags are also roomier and work nicely for storing wider items like cupcakes and toiletries. The Smart Zip closure is easy to use (even for kids) and even makes a fun zipping noise so that you know that the bag is sealing. My husband and I had a lot of fun trying to figure out how the zipper makes the noise one evening...doesn't take much to entertain us, I guess!
The lid on the Ziploc Smart Snap Containers shuts with a snapping sound -- a satisfactory assurance that the lid has sealed properly. The containers are clear so that I you easily see what is stored inside without needing to open it to check. Another thing that I noticed and like is the measurement indicators on the side of the container, in both cups and milliliters. The plastic containers are also BPA free. I use our containers for storing leftovers in the fridge. I've also use the Ziploc containers for storing craft supplies. The containers conveniently nest together for stacking.
Did you know that you can perform a science experiment using a Ziploc bag filled with water? We found a fun Leakproof Bag experiment in Steve Spangler's Naked Eggs and Flying Potatoes book and tried it out recently. It's amazing that you can poke round pencils right through the plastic and the bag doesn't leak! Try it out yourself sometime.
From literacy bags to storage to science projects, Ziploc products come in pretty handy! And, one last plus that I truly appreciate -- Ziploc brands give back to schools by participating in the Box Tops for Education program. Make sure to save those coupons!

Beaver Falls, PA – It was a play that Geneva′s football team had been practicing all season and waiting for exactly the right time to pull it out. With time winding down on the 2009 NCCAA Victory Bowl and the Golden Tornadoes trailing by two points, the time for the play called "900 Saint Vincent" had arrived. As important as the execution of the play is the acting skills of junior quarterback David Girardi. The play begins with Girardi walking toward the sideline with a confused look as he stares at the coaching staff for a new play. At the same time the ball is being snapped directly to senior running back Matt Barge. Barge then flips the ball to Girardi who sets his sights downfield. In this case, it was senior receiver Parker Nuetzel who was running free. Nuetzel pulled in a 47 yard reception that moved the ball to the Greenville 12 yard line and set up a Nick DiPietro game winning 20 yard field goal. The field goal capped a 12 play, 94 yard drive that had started on Geneva′s on three yard line. The drive ended with another Victory Bowl championship banner flying on College Hill.
"I have been a head coach at Geneva College for a long time," said Geno DeMarco following the victory. "We have seen our teams win post-season games, receive numerous accolades and top rankings, but I have never felt more gratified with what our team accomplished this year. Overcoming adversity is a part of athletics, but these guys stood up and refused to give up on a season and on a game. I have never been around a more deserving group of young men."
The story of the 2009 Geneva football team begins in 2008 when the Golden Tornadoes turned around a 1-5 start with four straight victories to end the year at 5-5. The winning streak continued into the new year with the Golden Tornadoes opening the 2009 campaign with three straight victories before falling to sixth ranked Washington & Jefferson. Four victories later, the Golden Tornadoes lost to tenth ranked Thomas More and closed out the regular season with a heart wrenching 31-28 loss to Westminster. Back to back losses in the regular season forced Geneva to travel to Greenville for the Victory Bowl instead of playing at Reeves Field, a place where it was a perfect 5-0 for the first time since 1995.
After a ten hour bus trip, a community service project and a Victory Bowl banquet, the Golden Tornadoes took care of business in thrilling fashion against an upstart Greenville team that was playing in only its second Victory Bowl and hadn't lost a home game all season. Geneva trailed Greenville 28-14 before Gerard Muschette scored his third touchdown of the game and Matt Barge plunged into the end zone from nine yards out to cut the lead to two points with just under five minutes left to play in the game. After a defensive stand got the ball back into the hands of Girardi, Geneva was staring at 97 yards to victory with two minutes to play. After 12 plays and "900 Saint Vincent" in their pocket, the Golden Tornadoes got back on the bus with one extra passenger, the 2009 NCCAA Victory Bowl championship banner.

Plan on invading Troll instances today? Not quite sure what to expect? Got you covered. You can find the TLDR versions here. Comment if there's any additional noteworthy mechanics that you find on live servers that glossed over. Notes were taken from my experiences on the PTR and from kill videos.
Stay within the maze.
Players will get linked (Toxic Link) which deals damage to both players. Break the link by increasing the distance between the two players. Poison bolts get shot at players, heal through it. Boss has a frontal cone attack. At some point, watch out for pools of poison. Not sure if that's linked to time or health.
Bloodlord Mandokir
Randomly targets a player and one-shots them. Mandokir levels up. Kill the raptor. The raptor goes around killing ghosts (which will resurrect you when you de) and you have a certain amount of them.
Watch out for big conical, fire spike thing
Kilnara (Panther boss)
First 50%: Tank and spank. Last 50%: Calls in panther buddies.
Interrupt Tears of Blood. Pull 2 packs of panthers during phase 1 and kill them to reduce the amount of panthers coming in the final phase. When they do engage you, AoE them down.
Three phases (Fire, Ice, Poison)
Zombie troll phase: Grab red cauldron . Gives your attacks additional AoE powers. Destroy zombies.
Berserker phase: One big mob? Grab the Ice cauldron. Attacks gain freezing powers. Slows down Berserker and kills them quick.
Cloud phase: Entire environment covered in gas. Grab poison cauldron, become i mmune.
Phase 1:
Casts a green shield bubble reducing magic effectiveness within it. Keep the tank and Jin'do within it. When Jin'do casts Shadow of Hakkar, run into the shield. Then run back out and resume DPS. Last I checked, he'll do an AoE chain nuke of some kind if you stay too long within the shield.
Phase 2: Hakkar
There are four chains on the ground. They each have 1 million health. Those chains need to be broken. Look for Gurubashi Spirits. Really big mobs that have the ability to jump. The group needs to stay near chains so that the big guys will jump onto the chain thereby breaking it. Arrow on the player's head signifies the target. Clear out the Twisted Spirit mobs.
Kicker: Need to keep moving to dodge assorted Shadow Blasts.
Akil'Zon (Eagle boss)
Eagles will pick players up and fly them around. DPS the birds. If you're picked up, you can still DPS them. Look for the thundercloud and stand beneath it.
Nalorakk (Bear boss)
Standard tank and spank. Also does an AoE silence.
Charges the furthest player standing away. Inflicts a +500% damage taken debuff on the target. Don't get charged twiced. Rotate with other group members in being the furthest person away. (Thanks Katherine and Wynn)
Halazzi (Lynx boss)
Kill totems. Kill the pet Lynx (likes to randomly rush players, healers need to stay on top of that). Lynx form frequently hits random players for massive damage. Your healer needs to be on the ball. Any self surviving cooldowns are encouraged to be used. (Thanks Katherine)
Jan'Alai (Dragonhawk)
Has a straight line fire attack, watch for it.
Watch for fire orbs and make sure you don 't stand near them. That hit box is a little larger than the graphic. Kill 1 of the hatchers. Healers need to dispel a fire debuff which comes from the hatched eggs. If Jan'Alai drops beneath a certain percentage, he hatches all of the eggs.
Hexlord Malacrass
Only 2 ads now. Kill them, blow up Malacrass. Remember Malacrass will assume the powers at random of the different classes in your group due to his power drain.
Similar to Zul'Jin, he instead undergoes 2 animal forms instead of 4. Switches phases every 33%.
- Lynx form: He rushes everybody and his damage gradually ramps up.
- Dragonhawk form: He will dish out fires in a line from him as a center point. Watch out for flame pillars. It was a pain in BC, it's a pain now.
- Bear form: Randomly charges a player.
- Eagle form: Spawns 5 random cyclones. They tend to stay stationary but will shift position every few seconds. Will shoot out lightning to players nearby.

When a Norwegian environmental group heard a nuclear waste ship was transporting spent nuclear fuel off the country's coast they complained an accident, if it occurred, would have "dramatic consequences." A week later the ship started sinking.
The 1994-built, Danish-flagged Puma had a cargo of spent highly enriched uranium when the Norwegian Naturvernforbundet organization caught wind of the trip. One the organization's leaders told Barents Observer:
"If there is an accident with a nuclear transport in Norwegian waters, it could have dramatic consequences for people and nature along the coast. The only way to avoid such an accident is to prevent such shipments in the future"
About a week after that quote was given a valve in the engine room broke, sending cold sea water into the ship's engine room. Crews were dispatched with gigantic electro-magnetic seals to plug the hole before the vessel fell into the frigid ocean waters. The Puma was eventually drained and righted then moved to a port for permanent repair.
Even more good luck, the accident happened on the way back. Otherwise a ship known to be carrying nuclear waste would be stuck and vulnerable to sipping its cargo or being attacked — the route is chosen because the fuel's less likely to fall in the hands of terrorists on its trip to a facility in Murmansk Russia than if it took the more direct route through the Baltic Sea.

Deputies: Teen killed in accidental shooting in car
A teenager died after he was accidently struck by gunfire while in a car with three other youths, Harris County sheriff's deputies said.
The juvenile, believed to be 15, was shot about 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday while riding with the other young men in west Harris County.
The driver, also a teenager, immediately went to Texas Children's Hospital in Katy. The wounded youth was rushed into the emergency room.
"But they couldn't do anything for him," said Deputy Thomas Gilliland, a Harris County Sheriff's spokesman.
Hospital officials then notified the Harris County Sheriff's Office about the fatal shooting.
Deputies said they believe the teenager was sitting in the front passenger seat.
According to preliminary reports, the fatal shot came from the back seat.
The bullet went through the front passenger seat and struck the victim in the back, deputies said.
Sheriff's homicide detectives were sent to the hospital.
Deputies said they will likely do gunshot residue tests on the hands of the other teenagers to determine who fired the fatal shot.
Sheriff's deputies said the driver and the other passengers are about the same age as the teenager who was fatally shot.
They have not yet determined the location of the shooting.
The investigation is continuing, deputies said.

Former Middlesex and Kent wicketkeeper Farbrace has stepped down after it emerged the England and Wales Cricket Board was locked in compensation talks with Sri Lanka.
The 46-year-old's appointment with England should now be ratified shortly by the ECB.
Sri Lanka Cricket's statement read: "The national coach Paul Farbrace tendered his resignation and has indicated to SLC of his unavailability to continue with SLC with immediate effect in order to take up an appointment with the ECB."
Farbrace only joined Sri Lanka three months ago, with his contract set to run until the end of the 2015 World Cup.
The former Kent coach helped Sri Lanka to a run of just one defeat in 18 matches, but the country's top stars have been embroiled in contract disputes with the board.
Sri Lanka saw off India to claim the World Twenty20 title earlier this month, and that will remain Farbrace's legacy.
England cricket bosses have spent the last week haggling with Sri Lanka over the terms of Farbrace's release, and now the two boards have come to an agreement over compensation.
Moores was officially unveiled at Lord's on Saturday, flanked by captain Alastair Cook and ECB managing director Paul Downton.
Moores has left Lancashire to return to the England job he vacated in 2009.
Downton has been keen to usher in a new era, refusing to countenance any way back into the fold for Kevin Pietersen.
The ECB has been keen to add international coaching experience to its backroom staff, and Farbrace will act as number two in all formats of the game.
Downton admitted on Saturday that Moores' assistant could even take full control of specific tours or tournaments, once the duo have fully established themselves in their new roles.
The ECB declined to comment when contacted on Tuesday morning.

There aren't many moments in the life of an RC racing fan that are truly unique, and being able to run in a 24-hour endurance race is one of them! HPI Europe's distributor in France, Avio & Tiger, offered this fantastic opportunity to 11 teams composing over 50 enthusiastic racers.
To make things as even as possible, each team was able to run either the RTR Blitz short course truck or the Blitz ESE racing kit. This proved to be a great choice for the day-long race: with over 600km (373 miles) completed by the winning team, the Blitz trucks proved to be extremely strong and long-lasting, requiring almost no replacement parts and amazing the drivers with the overall endurance of the trucks! The only part that needed regular replacement was the brushed motor, which was expected and perfectly normal. Saturday morning was a free practice sesion, with a qualifying sesion at the end. The start of the race was at 4 PM after a team presentation and group pictures. Modelled after the famous French race, 'Les 24 Heures du Man', at the start the team mechanics had to run to the car to install and plug in the battery, and the race was under way! While the race organizers expected a quiet and controlled race because of the extreme length of the competition, the drivers and teams ran at high intensity throughout the 24 hours, regularly setting lap records! The teams were also highly competitive - to give you an idea, after 20 hours with 4 hours left in the race, the top 3 teams were separated by less than 30 laps! That meant a single broken part or hard crash could mean a change in the lead, so everyone had to keep up the pace and pressure the other teams, hoping to cause a mistake. The finish was AMAZING!! Team #6, the Turbo Miramas Dream Team, won the race just 8 laps in advance of Team MACR 1. The second and third positions were separated by just 4 seconds after a full 24 hours! The winning team ran 611km (380 miles) with the HPI Racing Blitz completely out of the box, changing no pieces except the motor! All the racers had a great time during the whole event, and all the teams had great things to say about the Blitz and Blitz ESE kits. The top three teams were presented with big trophies and gift baskets to take home, and left the track smiling and looking forward to the next massive short course race!

The co-ruling PASOK party had its national conference today. Its goal is to elect the new party leader who will succeed George Papandreou and will lead the Socialists in the coming elections. The candidates are Christos Papoutsis and Evangelos Venizelos. At some point, an old man, member of PASOK himself, approached Venizelos, complained about the cuts in his pension and then threw him a yogurt before being carried out by bodyguards outside the hall.
This is the latest in a series of food throwing that has reemerged during the past two years of the crisis as a means of political protest.
Originally, "yogurt throwing" was a means of protest against authority by Greek youngsters in the late 1950s. They were called "Teddy Boys", a name borrowed from the homonymous British subculture. You see, food throwing was traditionally a form of protest (preferable rotten eggs or tomatoes) but it was only in 1950s when the plastic cup substituted yogurt's classic ceramic pot, a marketing move that made yogurt a non-lethal weapon. The trend of yogurt-throwing was fiercely fought by the authorities with the legendary "Law 4000/1958" according to which offenders were arrested, had their heads shaved and paraded through the streets of Athens.
The law also inspired a movie (Law 4000). Here's a great excerpt that needs no subtitles.
The law was withdrawn in 1983, by Andreas Papandreou. In 1997, a builder who was member of the Communist Party of Greece (KKE) threw a yogurt on the then Minister of Employment, Miltiadis Papaioannou (now Minister of Justice) and his then Deputy Minister Christos Protopappas (now PASOK's Parliamentary Group Representative) . The court decided that yogurt throwing was not an offense that had to be tried automatically but only if a lawsuit is filed by the victim.
During the past two years of the Greek crisis, attacks by angry citizens against politicians have become a frequent phenomenon. At the beginning there were verbal attacks, in restaurants and in the streets. Politicians began to walk less freely in the street without bodyguards, especially after Kostis Hatzidakis, a New Democracy MP, was brutally attacked by protesters in December of 2010.
The verbal attacks are still the norm wherever politicians appear in public (e.g. see what happened in the 28th October military parades – btw these days the government had a meeting to assess the security situation in view of the 25th of March Independence Day parades) Soon food throwing reappeared. The most popular "weapons" have been yogurt, eggs and, at times, tomatoes.
According to an article of Eleftherotypia newspaper, written by Georgia Linardou, in 2011 two members of the government and one MP have been attacked with yogurts. Last March, the vice president of the government Theodoros Pangalos was attacked while having dinner at a town just outside Athens. Some months later, Minister of Interior Haris Kastanidis was attacked in a similar fashion while watching "Midnight in Paris" at a cinema in Thessaloniki. Liana Kanelli, an MP with the Communist Party of Greece, has also been attacked with yogurt in June 2011, while she was trying to get through a block of protesters in order to reach the Parliament for the vote on the Mid-Term Program.
As for attacks with eggs, the list is longer, probably thanks to the different characteristics of this sort of food when used as a missile (their position on the day of the attack):
- Manolis Othonas, Deputy Minister for Citizen Protection
- Ilias Mosialos, Minister of State
- Kostas Skandalidis, Deputy Minister of Agriculture
- Andreas Loverdos, Minister of Health
- Anna Diamantopoulou, Minister of Education
- Giorgos Petalotis, Government Spokesman
- Asterios Rontoulis, MP with LAOS
- Dora Bakoyanis, Democratic Alliance party leader
- Spiros Taliadouros, MP with New Democracy
In 2010 Alekos Alavanos was also attacked, with yogurts, during SYRIZA's campaign for that year's local elections.
Many politicians have criticized this form of protest. KKE's leader, Aleka Papariga, has said that yogurt-throwers are people who have voted for PASOK or New Democracy and that the act itself is not some particular act of resistance but rather a bourgeois reaction that defuses the social discontent. Deputy Minister of Regional Development, Sokratis Xinidis, preferred some self-criticism when he said "The time has come for all of us to pay the price. I am ready to be thrown a yogurt…"
There's a great article about the presence of food in Greek politics. It's called "Bread, Milk, and the Greek Parliamentary Record" and is written by Leo Vournelis, here. Another interesting aspect can be read in "Eating in Times of Financial Crisis" also hosted on the website of the Society for the Anthropology of Food and Nutrition.
Finally, let me remind the readers of a historical recurrence. This is the second time that Evangelos Venizelos is trying to win the leadership of PASOK. The first time was back in 2007, in a mutiny-styled manoeuvre when he appeared as a candidate practically on the same night his party, then led by George Papandreou, lost the elections. In the following days few cared about the newly elected government – the top story was what was happening inside PASOK. In those polarized (for PASOK supporters) times, another party member threw a coffee on Venizelos while he was entering the party offices.
What I still remember from that video is Venizelos' reaction. See at 1:33 for a better a view of it. Scary isn't it?
UPDATE: Another interesting read is "The Dangers of Yoghurtification as a Political Movement in Greece".

Hello everyone. Long time no see.
I've just discovered a Radio K video review of my old game, To Hell in a Hamper, which I originally wrote in Adrift 4 and ported over to TADS 2 shortly afterwards.
Towards the end Adam Cadre mentions some bugs in the Adrift version that certainly weren't there when I wrote it. Could he be trying to play an Adrift 4 game on an Adrift 5 interpreter or something silly like that?
I haven't used Adrift in a while so it's all a bit of a mystery. If it doesn't play any more I'll have to take the Adrift version down which would be sad as it was the original.
Any thoughts?

[Spoiler alert: This story reveals major plot points from Wednesday's episode of Law & Order: SVU.]
Week after week for the last 14 years, Law & Order: SVU has depicted grisly, gruesome and unspeakable acts of violence. However, Wednesday's episode of the long-running procedural caused a media firestorm in recent weeks not because of what was depicted, but because of who was helping to tell the story.
The casting of Mike Tyson, athlete and convicted rapist, sparked outrage from viewers and rape victims, as well as a Change.org petition signed by more than 15,000 asking NBC and the series to reconsider Tyson's casting.
Keck's Exclusives: Mike Tyson discusses his controversial Law & Order: SVU role
Despite his own past criminal history, on Wednesday's episode, Tyson played the victim of a series of injustices. Although his character, Reggie Rhodes, was behind bars for a murder he admitted to committing, the reasons why he committed the crime were kept from the jury during his trial. With just 10 days left before Reggie was due to receive the death penalty, Det. Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and activist attorney Bayard Ellis (Andre Braugher) headed to Ohio to meet Reggie and confirm that he had, in fact, been sexually assaulted by a Jerry Sandusky-like camp counselor (Ed Asner) who had terrorized another young man under investigation by the rest of the SVU squad in New York.
Both Benson and Ellis were horrified to learn that Reggie had suffered sexual abuse throughout his life, beginning at the age of 5 or 6 by an uncle, then by his mother's boyfriend, then by the camp counselor and then by the man Reggie eventually murdered, Danforth.
At first, Reggie refused Benson and Ellis' help in getting a stay of execution because of these many hidden facts. "I did kill him. And I can't take that back. I'm trying to stay at peace. Now get the hell out of here," he yelled at the two in one unnerving scene.
TV musicals: The highs and lows
Ellis tried to get Reggie a stay of execution, but was initially dismissed by a biased board. However, the second time — with just three days left before Reggie was set to die — he was granted a stay of execution because of the blatant prosecutorial misconduct evident in the original murder trial. Just as Ellis was telling Reggie the good news, and getting a bear hug from Reggie, the camp counselor was seen in a police jumpsuit and handcuffs presumably going away for a very long time.
Although SVU showrunner Warren Leight has not spoken out publicly about Tyson's casting, or the subsequent controversy, on Wednesday he tweeted a thanks to Tyson for "taking on a role a lot of actors would not be brave enough to play."
So what did you think of Tyson's role and his performance? Sound off below.

2-year-old son of Adrian Peterson dies after alleged assault
The 2-year-old son of Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who was injured in an incident on Wednesday in Sioux Falls, S.D., has died, according to multiple reports.
Adrian Peterson's son has died according to police.— chipscoggins (@chipscoggins) October 11, 2013
Sioux Falls Police confirmed the news in a phone call to Sporting News on Friday afternoon.
The Argus Leader reports bond was set at $750,000 on Friday for Joseph Patterson, 27, who is accused of "seriously injuring a 2-year-old boy who was fathered by Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson." He is charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery on an infant. An updated story indicates the Lincoln County State's Attorney's Office is considering additional charges.
Confirmed.Joseph Patterson, 27, faces child abuse charges in Lincoln County. 2 y/o son of #AdrianPeterson @ksfynews pic.twitter.com/e5MbHUQMHb— Courtney Collen (@CourtneyCollen) October 11, 2013
This was not Patterson's first assault charge. The mother of Patterson's child asked for protection orders twice, "claiming he'd choked and punched her, threatened her with a knife and held her in a bedroom against her will." Those protection orders were voluntarily dropped in 2010 and 2011. In June of 2012, he was charged with simple assault against the mother.
Lincoln County State's Attorney Tom Wollman confirmed the death of the child, who had been in critical condition in a hospital with severe head injuries since Wednesday. The boy died at 11:43 a.m. at Sanford USD Medical Center in Sioux Falls after being removed from life support, Wollman said.
Wollman said he'll review police and medical reports before making further decisions about criminal charges, possibly by early next week. Joseph Patterson, 27, was charged with aggravated assault and aggravated battery in the child's death. He had a court appearance Friday and was ordered held on $750,000 cash bond.
Peterson declined to talk about the case after practice Friday, and prosecutors and police in South Dakota declined to confirm the boy was his son. However, a person with knowledge of the situation confirmed the connection to the AP on condition of anonymity because Peterson had requested privacy.
Speaking to reporters about an hour after the time of death, Peterson said he was certain he'll play Sunday against Carolina.
He smiled politely and spoke softly while taking questions at his locker.
"I'll be ready to roll, focused," Peterson said. "I will be playing Sunday, without a doubt."
Peterson is second in the NFL with 421 yards rushing and first in the league with five touchdowns. He came back from reconstructive knee surgery to rush for 2,097 yards and win the league MVP award last season.
"Football is something I will always fall back on," Peterson said. "It gets me through tough times. Just being around the guys in here, that's what I need in my life, guys supporting me. ... Things that I go through, I've said a thousand times, it helps me play this game to a different level. I'm able to kind of release a lot of my stress through this sport, so that's what I plan on doing."
Later Friday, after news of the boy's death spread, Peterson thanked his family, fans and even fans of other NFL teams for their support.
He tweeted: "The NFL is a fraternity of brothers and I am thankful for the tweets, phone calls and text messages from my fellow players."
Dozens of current and former professional athletes wished Peterson well on Twitter, expressing support, offering prayers and voicing disgust about the alleged abuse.
"Sick for my friend. Strong guy but this one will bring the strongest down," tweeted NBA star LeBron James.
The Panthers, this week's opponent, were sympathetic.
"It's absolutely terrible. Our thoughts and prayers go out to him and his family, and hopefully things work out," coach Ron Rivera said.
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said he thought Peterson practiced as well as he could Friday considering the circumstance.
"He seems like he was into it, engaged in what he had to get done," Frazier said. "Obviously, tough. He's human. But he was into it mentally, best as he could be."
Fellow running back Toby Gerhart said: "It's hard for any man to admit that he's hurting or he needs help or anything like that. For us to be around him and tell him we've got his back, if there's anything he needs that we're there for him, I think that goes a long way."
The Associated Press contributed to this story.

About the course
You'll have the opportunity to work alongside experienced teachers and colleagues who can offer examples of good practice and provide advice and support during your training. You'll spend the majority of your training in your host school and will feel part of the school community.
As a guide, you will spend four days a week in your host school and one day a week at Warwick University to develop your subject and professional studies. You many also complete a few alliance training days at Lawrence Sheriff School. To broaden your experience, you will complete a six week placement in a contrasting school, usually after the Christmas break.
In order to develop expertise in your chosen subject area, you'll take three core modules. They're all designed to equip you with the knowledge, understanding and practical skills you'll need in your successful teaching career:
- Subject Studies: You'll learn all aspects of how to teach your subject, including planning, teaching, assessment and classroom management.
- Professional Studies: You'll learn about working in classrooms and schools, and the broader context of teaching today.
- Professional Practice: You'll take placements with opportunities for observation, practice and investigation in partner schools.
You'll be assessed in the following three modules:
- Subject Studies (PG1) M Level: A series of assessments focussing on both educational theory and issues in your specialist subject (1 x 1500 word formative essay, and 1 x 4000-word essay, 1 x Academic Poster)
- Reflective Practice (PG2) M Level: A reflective case study on an area of educational practice in your placement school(s) supported by a literature review (1 x 5000-word essay)
- Professional Practice H Level: Meeting the Teachers' Standards at a Good or Outstanding level (Regular observations by mentors and Teaching Fellows; Tutorials; Professional Digital Portfolio, Viva Voce)
You'll also be assessed on whether you meet the Teachers' Standards at a level appropriate for a newly qualified teacher.
All assignments are submitted in electronic form. Your tutors will give you formal feedback identifying the strengths of the academic piece, and offer any advice for future work.
Interview process
As this is an employment based route, interviews will be held at the partner school you have applied to. We will send you an email to let you know the arrangements, which can vary slightly depending on the school.
The selection process lasts approximately half a day, during which you will attend an interview, conduct a short teaching task (usually about 20-30 minutes) and meet members of the department or school team you will be working with. There may also be a tour of the school and for Secondary applicants a discussion relating to your chosen subject.
If you are successful at interview, you will be informed via UCAS and the lead school.
How school placements work
You will be able to apply to your chosen school (known as your host school or training location) where you will spend the majority of your time.
All partner schools are within a reasonable travelling distance and we will try to ensure that for your six week placement you are placed in a school that is convenient for you.
Your salary will be at least point one on the unqualified teacher pay scale, which is currently £17,682 (2019-20).
There is a fee of £2,000 payable by you (the trainee) to The University of Warwick.
Financial support
Financial support isn't available for this course because it comes with a salary.
If you choose a course without a salary, you may be eligible for financial support while you study, including bursaries, scholarships and loans.
Degree You must have graduated, or be about to graduate, from a UK Higher Educational Institute or equivalent, with a 2:2 or above honours degree.
GCSEs You'll need at least Grade C / 4 in GCSE English Language and Mathematics.

Good Morning…a couple of new items today. I've been working on making a journal of words and pictures. This is one of new insertions. My life has gone through considerable change in the last three years, so the poem and art reflects my thoughts. And, Letter H is below.
Lost and Found
I'm not lost, but I feel lost.
I know where I live, but where do I live?
Traveling with a new map has taken me off the main road.
Making u-turns, right turns, left turns, stopping and starting over.
The bumpy ride is full of potholes and distractions.
I've lost some people along my main road and there is no going back.
They have gone to a new place and I'm unable to visit.
So, I return to my maze of travel.
I may feel lost but I've found that I'm making my way back home.
And, letter H from my alphabet project.

It was the bitchslap that just won't quit! Months after filming ended for Real Housewives of Miami and months after Adriana de Moura punched (slapped?) Joanna Krupa in the face during the world's worst charity event, Joanna is now taking legal action!
Why you ask? She was waiting on the footage as confirmation for what really happened. "Joanna is not just going to take this," a source tells RadarOnline. "She's reached out to one of Florida's most powerful attorneys to better understand her legal options after being punched in the face." Oh, brother…
Marta The source continues, "Not only did Adriana punch her in the face, it took all of Joanna's strength to hold on to Adriana as she was trying to break free and grab a broom that Krupa believes she was going to hit her with." The broom! That broom! Where did it come from. I guess all witches need a broom.

Leslie Jones says Donald Trump 'banned' from her Netflix stand-up special
Leslie Jones is set to bring her brand of humour to Netflix with her own stand-up special.
The Saturday Night Live comic shared, during an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on Thursday, that she will host a stand-up special for Netflix, set to premiere in 2020.
The hour-long comedy special, produced by Jesse Collins Entertainment, will be filmed in September in Washington D.C., before getting a global launch next year.
"I am doing a Netflix special," Jones announced to Kimmel. "So ya'll finally get to see what I really do."
Despite finding fame as an actress, Jones, who has appeared in films including Ghostbusters and National Security, explained she doesn't consider it her main profession.
"I mean it's great to be an actress but I'm actually a stand-up, hardcore," continued the star, who is currently in negotiations to join the sequel to Coming to America. "That's what pay the bills."
Jones explained that she chose Washington D.C. as the location for her stand-up special because it's "got one of the best comic crowds."
When Kimmel inquired whether U.S. President Donald Trump might be in attendance, Jones blasted: "Hell no!"
"I hope you show up so I can talk bad about your ass! Don't you show up," she said, addressing Trump directly. "You are banned from the show. You are banned period. You are banned from my life."
Jones joins comedians including Dave Chappelle, Wanda Sykes, Ali Wong, and Amy Schumer who have all released stand-up films for the streaming giant.

Well it has certainly been a long while since I have written and yet I love to write.
However for the past little while I have been pre-occupied and bound within my own thoughts,seraching to hear from God or better yet trying to hear even more than what I think I am hearing forgetting to just rest in Him.
I have been reading books listening to the radio watching tv going to a conference,praying and having conversations with God daily.
Notice the key words in that sentence was I HAVE
Now not to say that what I have been doing is detrimental as I have learned many things, however I want and need more.
I thirst daily and can't seem to quench the dryness that is in my life.
Last night I decided to go to corporate prayer wanting and needing a quiet place with others that understand the deep love of God and that would leave me alone in my thoughts.
What I got was frustration with the noise
What I got was a stronger desire to hear God with the condition He would shut everyone else up so I could hear Him.
Ya not happening
but still I was determined I was going to hear if it killed me.
So I tried to worship but the focus was so much on me the desire for more became frustrating.
However God works in amazing ways
I heard from God even when I didn't think I was.
Scriptures came popping into my head,so I looked them up and wrote them down.
When all was said and done and no more came to mind and my frustration was growing MORE intense
Barry spoke over me and said
"Your nickname is Mo but I see other letters The Lord is telling me you are MORE
More than what you think you are
More than what others see you as
More to me than what you know
and you will be thirsting for more daily and the more you drink of Me the more you will want"
He saw me dancing in a frilly white dress with the Lord I was a princess all sparkley and pretty.He began to laugh. Not quite sure if he was just filled with the spirit or if he was seeing what I was seeing
Me in a white frilly dress.Too funny!
No matter the main thing is I was dancing with the Lord and at that moment my heart was like the Grinch and grew so large in my chest I thought I was going to burst.
It was then the Lord told me He was right hear with me talking to me but I had to hear Him with not my ears but my heart. He told me to re-read the scriptures I had written.
The tears flowed as separately they were words and promises but together they were my thoughts and my story of late with His promise among them.
Here is what He showed me our converstions have been in one long sentence.(separate scriptures)
"You will joyfully draw water from springs of salvation".
I said to myself,Go ahead,I will test you with pleasure and enjoy what is good."But it turned out to be futile"
STOP (your fighting) and know that I AM GOD exalted among the nations,exalted on earth.Consider ships,though very large and driven by fierce winds,they are guided by a very small rudder wherever the will of the pilot directs.
Although I once had confidence in the flesh too.If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh I have more.
Not that I have already reached (the goal) or am already,fully mature but I make every effort to take hold of it because I also have been taken hold of by Christ Jesus.
So my lesson here was to Stop
Stop thinking
Stop forcing
Just Stop and rest in Him
When you think your prayers are never going to be answered and the frustration of trying to hear Him is exhausting and the mind will not stop running the Lord is right there saying
Hello I am right here .... No not there..... STOP.... ok now look within.....You got it there I AM..... now sit down get comfortable and just relax and rest in Me...... Ok now what do you want to talk about today?

Last summer, we had weekly board games, fondue, and informal showings. And we had a nice, rainy BBQ on July 4, where Ned got to stand in the rain with a tiny umbrella while grilling meat for the rest of us. Fun times.
If there's enough interest, I'd be happy to organize something similar for this summer. Or, if you want to do something different, let us know and we'll figure something out!

I made a couple changes to the recipe. I increased the sugar to 1 cup, as mentioned by another reviewer, but it was still not sweet. I used 1/4 cup applesauce and 1 Tbsp oil to substitute for the 1/4 cup oil and the cake was very moist. It only took 26 minutes to cook. I didn't like the taste of the cake, but it might have been the cocoa powder I used. It might be really good with cream cheese frosting, but what isn't?

I tried this recipe with few changes. I used whole wheat pastry flour instead of all purpose flour and reduced the quantity of oil to 1 tablespoon and added 1/4 cup of unsweetened applesauce instead. The cake cake out moist and soft with all these changes. Reading the previous review I did increase the quantity of sugar to 3/4th of a cup but felt that it could use some more sugar, maybe 1 cup. Other than that I don't have any issues with this recipe. It's a keeper. Thanks for posting it.

New Cars for Sale in Grapevine
Buying a new car is an exciting prospect. However, it's also a decision that requires a lot of thought and weighing many factors. While we can't decide which car to get for you, we can at least provide you an expansive inventory of vehicles to choose from and a knowledgeable, helpful staff who can answer any questions you have about Nissan's new lineup or any aspect of buying a new car. We encourage you to contact Texas Nissan if you're thinking of getting a new Rogue, Altima, Kicks, or any other Nissan model. We may have these cars in stock, and many more, too! Since we can't tell you in advance what kind of vehicles you'll find in our inventory, we suggest calling beforehand or browsing our website to see what we currently have on the lot. If you see a car that you want to take for a test drive, call or submit a request online for your favorite model and let us know when you want to come in.
Benefits of Buying New Cars
As a car shopper, you have many decisions to make when buying a new car. One of the primary considerations you'll need to think about is whether you want to buy a car new or used. Getting a new car has a number of advantages, including more than you might initially realize. One of the main reasons people get a new car is to have a full range of choices when it comes to giving the car a custom finish. If you've always envisioned driving a car in a particular color, now is your opportunity to make that happen. With a new car you can also get other custom finishes like a bigger wheel size and a custom wheel design. Buying a new car opens up the door of opportunity for other custom options too, like any additional features or factory packages. Despite the fact that a new car is expensive, you can sometimes find financing specials to help lower the cost. This way, you get the benefit of owning a new car with a lower price. Saving money also means that you can upgrade to more higher-end features, which in turn raises the car's resale value.
Quality New Cars at Texas Nissan
Whenever you buy a car, no matter what model you get, you want to know that you're getting a safe and reliable car. Unless you're a mechanic, you won't be able to perform complex mechanical inspections yourself. However, that's precisely where we can help out. At Texas Nissan, you'll find a dedicated group of mechanics who put each vehicle through a comprehensive inspection process before offering it for sale. Inside and out, we thoroughly check each car to make sure it has no aesthetic flaws or mechanical problems.
With so many new Nissans to choose from, now is a better time than any to buy a new vehicle. If you're looking for a new car, we can help you out by offering a large inventory of new vehicles to choose from. Simply call or visit our website to see our inventory and arrange a test drive.

Study details molecular structure of major cell signaling pathway
Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have reported the exact molecular structure and mechanisms of a major cell signaling pathway that serves a broad range of functions in humans.
Media contacts: Les Lang, (919) 966-9366 or email@example.com and Tom Hughes, (919) 966-9366 or email@example.com
Thursday, Oct. 21, 2010
CHAPEL HILL -- Scientists at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine have reported the exact molecular structure and mechanisms of a major cell signaling pathway that serves a broad range of functions in humans.
Up to half of drugs approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration directly or indirectly target G protein-coupled receptors. These receptors, which are proteins that live in the outer membranes of cells, take molecular signals from outside the cell and convert them into responses within – and those responses help control behaviors as wide-ranging as cell growth, muscle contraction, platelet aggregation, sight, and smell.
Many G protein-coupled receptors engage two partners: the G protein, Gq, and an enzyme called phospholipase C, or PLC, to pass signals into the cell. Until now, it's been a mystery how this transfer of information occurs.
"We thought that to really understand how this signaling complex works, we had to go to the atomic level," said co-senior investigator Kendall Harden, PhD, Kenan professor in the department of pharmacology at UNC.
The detailed atomic structure, published by the journal Science, within the Science Express website, on Oct. 21 2010 , "is the culmination of 15 years of work, collaboration and a small but crucial bit of educated serendipity," Harden said.
For years, the group had been trying to understand how the G protein bound to PLC. The main challenge of solving any atomic structure is to get enough of the highly purified proteins. Then, it's a matter of setting up the right conditions — a trial-and-error process of tweaking the pH of the solution, the salts and numerous other variables — to get the proteins to form a crystal that can withstand the imaging process. Robots produce thousands of slightly different chemical conditions, each produced in volumes smaller than a pinhead, and automated imaging captures each reaction.
UNC research analyst Gary Waldo, the lead author of the paper, rifled through thousands of these imaged droplets before he found one that showed the PLC bound to Gq. Enzymes had eaten away part of the PLC molecule, and this missing piece allowed the PLC to properly crystallize with its partner.
The group then created the PLC with the exact same portion missing. It bound to the G protein and formed crystals overnight, said co-investigator John Sondek, PhD, co-senior investigator and professor of pharmacology and biochemistry and biophysics at UNC. Sondek and Harden are members of the UNC Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Once they had the structure, the researchers were able to alter parts of the complex to see exactly how they interact and how the complex works to both turn on and turn off the signal. For example, three different areas of the PLC molecule come into contact with the G protein.
To better help understand the importance of the interaction, the researchers introduced a small mutation in part of the PLC molecule they hypothesized was important to shut off the signal at the cell membrane. Expressing this mutation in the PLC of eyes of flies, the group found that the signaling pathway in eyes exposed to light stay stuck in the 'on' position. "The flies can't see because they can't refresh the signal," Sondek said.
The group plans to carry more of the molecular work into mice and other animals. "It's already well known how important the signaling pathway is, Harden said. "but our new knowledge helps us see how G proteins and PLC work together to regulate, for example, the proliferation of cells, and how certain genetic mutations in these molecules may contribute to cancer."
The new findings will also allow scientists to understand how this signaling complex interacts with other molecules. The group will eventually be able to visualize this complex interaction in real time, and to disrupt it using small compounds.
Of course, new science generates many more questions, which Harden and Sondek will pursue. "You can't be anything other than ecstatic," Harden said.
Other UNC study co-authors include Tiffany Ricks, PhD; Stephanie Hicks, PhD; and Matthew Cheever, PhD. Additional co-authors were Takeharu Kawano and Kazuhito Tsuboi, University of Illinois; Xiaoyue Wang and Craig Montell , Johns Hopkins University; and Tohru Kozasa, University of Tokyo.
The research was supported by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences.

Honor the Heroes of the Game, Preserve Its History, Promote Its Values & Celebrate Excellence Everywhere
"The most fun thing was watching the development of the Super Bowl, because the game is what it's all about."
(Compton Junior College)...Alvin Ray Rozelle. . .Surprise choice to replace Bert Bell, 1960. . . Generally recognized as premier commissioner of all professional sports. . .Created, maintained NFL's image of stability, integrity. . . Negotiated first league-wide TV contract, 1962. . .Skillfully handled AFL-NFL "war" plus merger, league restructuring that followed. . Developed Super Bowl into premier attraction. . .Born March 1, 1926, in South Gate, California. . .Died December 6, 1996 at age of 70.
During his 30 years as commissioner of the National Football League, Pete Rozelle was recognized as the premier commissioner of all professional sports. A charismatic leader, he guided the league through a period of unprecedented growth. Rozelle was the 33-year-old general manager of the Los Angeles Rams when he left for the annual NFL meetings in January, 1960.
The principal business was to name a new commissioner to replace the popular Bert Bell, who had died three months earlier. After 23 ballots had failed to produce a new leader, two owners asked Rozelle to leave the meeting room while they and the other owners had a discussion. After a couple of hours, Pete was invited back to the meeting to hear the news that he was the NFL's new leader.
Rozelle's accomplishments are legendary, and the NFL's many challenges during his tenure are well documented. Such things as blockbuster television contracts, the war with the competing American Football League and the resulting merger, the development of the Super Bowl into America's premier sporting event, difficult player issues including strikes and threatened strikes, plus numerous court and legislative battles, all dominated headlines during his stewardship.
Throughout it all, Rozelle remained a dominating factor. His leadership created the profound image of stability and integrity still associated with the NFL. He continually encouraged the club owners to work together despite numerous challenges, while always demonstrating a calm, reassuring, strong management style. It was Rozelle who convinced NFL owners to share equally their television revenues.
A former University of San Francisco sports information director, Rozelle first joined the Los Angeles Rams as public relations director. He later worked as a public relations specialist at the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, and then returned to the Rams for a three-year tenure as general manager, before his election to the NFL Commissioner's post.

We know works about tea and biscuits can be a bit of a cliché, but they serve multiple functions for us in the studio creatively and socially, like sharing a strong pot of coffee on monday morning while we catch up on weekend's activities or a biscuit as we plan a challenge ahead. Getting up to make a round of tea for people takes you out of your chair and allows you mind to wander as well as your feet. We also have a sweet tooth, so biscuits — in almost all varieties — are a treat in afternoon and often needed morale boost to hit that looming deadline. One particular type we have nicknamed 'crack biscuits' as once opened they always get finished.
1. Hobnob: Hard work gets rewards.Takes a lot of work to eat but worth it for the great taste.
2. Party Ring: Remember to be humble, remember your audience. Design is not always for designers.
3. Jammy Dodger: A Fortuitous moment. Spotting a creative opportunity or a last minute typo.
4. Salted Caramel Cookie: Promote studio culture. The moorish 'crack biscuit' is a studio in-joke - It's good to laugh together as well as work together.
5. Bonne Maman French Butter Gallettes: Collaborate. Teamwork and collaboration lead to the best results.

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 10 (UPI) -- At a Las Vegas summit of lawmakers, law enforcement officers and faith leaders, authorities agreed to intensify the fight against sex-trafficking.
The conference Wednesday at the University of Nevada at Las Vegas, convened by Nevada Attorney General Catherine Cortez Masto and attended by more than 200 people, was designed to strengthen support for proposed legislation and foster more collaboration to fight sex-trafficking, the Las Vegas Sun reported Thursday.
Although entry into the sex trade can occur through work in brothels, gang activity or massage parlors, the largest category of sex-trafficking is "domestic pimp control," a situation in which one person controls the activities of one or more females in the sex trade, said Bradley Myles, executive director of the Polaris Project, a worldwide group fighting human trafficking.
Las Vegas Police Lt. Karen Hughes, who oversees the department's vice section, said police monitor the city's streets and hotels, as well as the Internet, and last year "recovered" 107 juveniles, including three boys, from the sex trade.
