Stop Police Brutality Solidarity March for Occupy the Midwest and OWS
Federal Reserve at Jackson & LaSalle, Chicago
Police brutality has been running rampant against peaceful Occupy protesters across the US this week. In response, Occupy Chicago will be holding a rally against police brutality, and in solidarity with all groups in the Occupy movement which this brutality seeks to suppress.
On March 17th, the six month anniversary of Occupy Wall Street, about 800 protesters held a celebratory party at Zuccotti Park, the birthplace of the American Occupy movement. At 11:30pm, police announced that they were closing the park, in direct violation of laws allowing access to the park 24 hours a day. Scores of police cleared the park with brutal tactics. A large group of protesters refused to leave, citing the accessibility laws, and police created a human chain around the protesters and proceeded with a mass arrest.
Protesters did not plan to sleep at the park, but were committed to spending the night there. Police smashed one man's head into a window so hard that the window was shattered. One woman, while in zip ties, had a seizure as protesters shouted for the zip ties to be removed in order to provide medical attention. The medical status of these protesters is unknown at this time. As of this writing, the Huffington Post reported that police didn't have a full count of arrests, but some reports indicate between 25-100 arrests were made. Police blocked the park with metal barricades and it is unknown when they will re-open the park.
This is not the first incident this week of using police brutality to suppress the Occupy movement. In St. Louis, the four-day regional Occupy the Midwest conference was in full swing, with over 600 Occupy protesters coming from at least 18 states to participate beginning March 15. Occupy protesters participated in rallies, marches, and workshops.
Participants in Occupy the Midwest attempted to occupy a city park that night. The park closed at 10pm, and at 10:30pm Eddie Roth, the city's director of public safety, announced that the protesters were not allowed to use the park due to lack of permit. As protesters were leaving the park and marching in the street, police violently assaulted multiple protesters using batons to their faces and pepper spray. Also, the tires of the Occupy media van were slashed. 15 protesters were arrested, with two sent to the hospital. All have since been released after bail was posted by donations solicited online.
"In one move, the St. Louis police, effectively, assaulted at least 18 cities at once," said Sugar Russell, Occupy Chicago member.

sleepy sleepy sleepy post-arisia smiles
I had a faaaaaaaabulous weekend
who's ready for ARISIA?!
It could be me, but it's probably not.
boop de dooooo
I will be there, hiding ducks, setting things up, running around in awesome clothing. Just another normal day, ho dee ho.
And I want to be friends with EVERYONE.
So Arisia is soon. Tomorrow is set-up. Friday is when the magic~ happens. I'm so exhausted already.
Arisia disease strikes. It is contagious. It passes through the handling of obscene amounts of rubber ducks.
Spent part of my evening counting ducks for Arisia. If you're coming, you need to find 228 ducks. Yes. That is a lot of ducks.
(psssst come to Arisia)
Who's going to either of those? Anyone? Cuz you totally should. I really fucking want to go to First Night, but I don't want to go alone and I have no friends (that's a lie but you know what I mean).
And Arisia? You should come to Arisia. Sci-fi/fantasy/awesome people convention in Boston mid-January. I'm there. I work. I run around. I dress up. I hide ducks (yes, I'm the terrible person wedging them behind signs). I went on stage during Rocky last year while I was wearing Intense Sequins and was stopped by a whole bunch of people afterwards so they could tell me how much I blinded them. Basically I am dazzling. Come oooooon cooooooooooooooome. And then I can tell my mother I made friends at the con and not over the internet. Heh.
I love you and I want to give you real-life hugs. I'm thinking about bringing my accordion and stuff, too, if that excites you.
Arisia's coming up, you guys! Sci-fi/fantasy/alternative convention in Boston, Massachussetts. I'll be there Thursday-Monday (I do tech/grunt work!), and you should come too! It's amazing and there are so many amazing people there. COME. And let me know if you are. There are lots of awesome performances and cool shops and dances and events. $25 student membership! You will not regret it.

Every foodie has their vices. For me, it's bacon. Call me a "trendster," but I was so totally into bacon before EVERYONE was into bacon. I love the salty sweet taste of bacon chocolate, I adorrreeeee fresh turkey bacon off the griddle, and atop a wedge of romaine with crumbled blue cheese? Forgettaboutit. Burger King, they understand people like me. Last week, we heard all about their new influx of celebtastic advertising and a few of their fun new menu items. Well hold onto your hats, foodies, because they're ALSO testing out a few other ideas at a test spot in Tennessee. One of them being, wait for it ... a BACON SUNDAE.
Holy Moses. Get me to Tennessee, STAT!
OK, so BK is not the first fast food chain to jump on the bacon dessert bandwagon. Remember last year when Denny's came out with the maple bacon sundae (I die). There's no word as to whether the BK bacon sundae is going to stick and become a nationwide offering, just yet, but what the hey -- a gal can hope.
Along with the sundae, the fast food giant is also testing sweet potato fries, BBQ sammies in pork, grilled chicken, and burger, as well as frozen lemonade. Mmmmm, me being able to go to a drive-through and pick up sweet potato fries may just be more dangerous to my waistline than the bacon sundae!
Do you think the bacon sundae would catch on? Which one of the potential new menu items would you be most excited about?

I like bacon or turkey it don't matter to me
Thats disgusting, people will put dead animal on anything and eat it. Do people have no morals, do they feel no guilt what so ever for taking the life of an animal? Been vegetarian for 10 years and so are our children and never EVER had a day in my life where I wasnt heathier then a meat eater, not to mention, we don't indulge in the horrible slaughtering of innocent animals.
Nope no moral dilemma here, the way I see it, the animals were put here FOR us, just likt the plants. My moral issue is with all the processed crap. THAT shit ain't natural!
I consider myself a secondary vegetarian...I eat animals that eat vegetables.
I don't feel the least bit guilty about eating meat.
Im not a big meat eater.. simply I dont like it
This was a friend of mine that posted this on his FB page:
While having dinner with a vegan, they pointed out that I should go vegetarian, they live longer... I pointed my knife at my steak and commented, "That was a vegan, it didn't work out so good for them now did it?"
its bacon people dont know its not bacon lol short reference to beggin strips lol

The aim of this study was to explore environmentally friendly solutions to reduce the friction present in automotive transmissions.
A 2005 Ford Escape Hybrid transmission was used in this study to establish reasonable operating conditions for the gear surfaces.
Background on gear operation and surface interaction was studied to understand the nature of the contact between the gear surfaces. Based on this, a mathematical model of gear interaction was developed and used to bracket the loading conditions of the gear tooth interface to be up to 1.5GPa of contact pressure with 2m/s relative sliding velocity. This information was used to aid in the identification of suitable surface engineering technologies and set the operating conditions for reciprocating tribometer based measurements.
Additionally, tribological tests were performed on pin-on-disc samples which were treated with various surface treatments. The resulting wear surfaces were then studied using optical and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) as well as Raman Spectroscopy. These techniques were used to better understand the mechanisms associated with wear and the role that the surface treatments played in reducing wear. Based on the testing performed, the best surface treatment for this application was a super finishing process. This process also met cost and environmental constraints. An in-house dynamometer was also developed to be used in the future full scale testing of a transmission.

|Discovery Channel and the HILTI Foundation
|Early 1980s Underwater explorer
Franck Goddio first egan to 'dive' for the lost Royal City back in the eighties, using
historical documents as his guide. He gathered valuable information about marine
archaeology before embarking on his quest in Egypt. Having held key positions with
international organizations and various governments, he went on to become an expert in his
field after conducting his first studies in marine archaeology in Asia.
1987 He founded his 'Institut Européen D'Archéologie Sous-Marine' (European Institute of Marine Archaeology) in Paris and became a full-time underwater explorer. So began Mr. Goddio's search for the remains of past civilizations and eras at the bottom of the sea - an area thus far fairly unexplored.
|1996 In 1996 Mr.
Goddio gained the support of the Liechtenstein based Hilti Foundation, a foundation of the
Martin Hilti Family Trust.
The Hilti Foundation, an acknowledged supporter of cultural, social, educational and scientific projects, whose President is Michael Hilti, a close friend of Franck Goddio, has supported Mr. Goddio's Alexandria project, particularly because of its cultural and scientific significance.
Franck Goddio discovered the exact location of the ancient Royal Quarter of Alexandria, Egypt, which was plunged into the sea over 1,600 years ago following a series of heavy earthquakes and tidal waves, as well as a continuous slow subsiding of the land.
The mission was made possible with the cooperation of the Supreme Council for Egyptian Antiquities and the sponsorship of the Hilti Foundation of Liechtenstein.
Key finds from this first mission included remains of parts of the submerged Royal Quarter, among them columns, statues, capitals, blocks of granite, Sphinxes, pavements and ceramics. The mission also discovered the island of Antirhodos which housed one of Cleopatra's palaces, the Peninsula where the Timonium which was Mark Antony's palace was located, the Poseidon sanctuary and the Royal Harbor of Cape Lochias.
With the use of electronically sophisticated archaeological surveys and systematic excavations in the Eastern Harbor of Alexandria, an accurate map was drawn up of the submerged Royal Quarter, superseding other existing maps.
|1997 New, outstanding artifacts
were unveiled at Alexandria following the second phase of work, commencing in June.
Evidence was discovered suggesting Alexander the Great used Antirhodos island as a landing
area for boats before the time of the foundation of Alexandria.
Finds included important statues, among them a very rare one of the Great Priest of Isis, a head believed to be of Augustus and two Sphinxes, one of them probably representing Ptolemy XII, father of Cleopatra.
The mission has also shown that the whole island had been leveled by mortar platforms to support buildings around the 3rd century BC.
|1998 In April, an
exclusive partnership with the Discovery Channel, Bethesda, Maryland, USA, was formed to
produce a series of films on underwater archaeological discoveries. The Discovery Channel
will also fund expedition costs along with the Hilti Foundation. In September Canal+ of
France joined Discovery Channel as co-producer.
October 28 marked the publication of Franck Goddio's book 'Alexandria - the Submerged Royal Quarters', written in cooperation with leading experts in the various fields of research, including Professor J. Yoyotte; Professor A. Bernand; Professor E. Bernand; Professor Z. Kiss; and Professor F. Dunand. The document outlines for the first time all the results of the surveys, archaeological excavations and analyses at Alexandria.
New information revealed on recent finds included remains of a 30 metres long well-preserved shipwreck dating between 90 BC and 130 AD, sunk in the private harbor of Antirhodos possibly after having been rammed by another boat.
|Historical Background
The royal city of the last Egyptian Dynasty (Ptolemaic Dynasty), where Cleopatra, the last queen of ancient Egypt, ruled and died, was lost in a series of earthquakes in the Fourth Century AD. For aeologists tried to discover this legendary city, in which the dramas between Cleopatra, Julius Caesar, Marc Antony and Octavius took place.
Discovery of Ancient Alexandria
In 1996, after many years of research and use of the most sophisticated electronic equipment, Franck Goddio discovered the remains of the city under water in the eastern harbor of Alexandria. The HILTI FOUNDATION financed the activities. In a press conference in Alexandria in November 1996, the findings were presented to the public the first time.

High Price Valuations Make Tobacco Stocks Unattractive
Bill is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
Governments around the world are getting tougher and tougher on tobacco companies. Investors should demand low valuations for these industry headwinds. Oddly, many of the industry stocks trade at high price multiples:
These generally pricey multiples make absolutely no sense in light of the stream of tightening government actions against these companies.
Tobacco Companies Forced to Say They Lied
The U.S. government routinely makes tobacco companies advertise how unhealthy their products are. Now the government is trying to get them to admit they fudged the truth.
Altria Group (NYSE: MO) faces pressure from the Justice Department to confess its intentions to mislead the public about the health risks of smoking. Its brand, Phillip Morris USA, is one of those accused to have formulated underrated descriptions of the detrimental effects of cigarettes. Altria has not provided any details but stated that it is studying the ruling made by U.S. District Judge Gladys Kessler. The ruling requires tobacco companies to issue statements, which admit they purposely manipulated American consumers, before they begin with any warning of the associated diseases of cigarette smoking. These should be incorporated in tobacco companies' advertisements, whether in mass media or online media. According to Kessler, "This court has heeded its mandate to fashion corrective statements that are purely factual and uncontroversial and are directed at preventing and restraining the defendants from deceiving the American public in the future." However, no deadline was imposed to comply with such ruling.
Reynolds American (NYSE: RAI) communicated that the company is currently evaluating its actions in response to the ruling. Reynolds in 2006, together with Altria and Lorillard (NYSE: LO), was found to have collaborated with the others mentioned to undermine the hazards posed by smoking.
Government crackdowns on tobacco are an inescapable international phenomenon. Developed nations, emerging markets, and developing markets are encountering more stringent restrictions for tobacco companies. Legal wins for tobacco companies are the exception in today's regulatory environment, not the rule.
International Governmental Pressures
Many other governments are restricting tobacco use through marketing regulations, laws restricting smoking, and taxes. These are real challenges to tobacco companies, and they come from both developed and developing nations.
The Philippines is boosting a sin tax for tobacco products. Michael Tan, director of the largest tobacco venture in the Philippines said, "We would like a moderate, predictable increase that will give realistic revenues for the government. The tobacco industry should be treated in a more fair fashion, with a more equitable sharing of the tax burden."
The President of the Philippines is pushing congress to pass a bill that would target annual revenues of at least 60.6 billion pesos ($1.47 billion). This tax revenue will come from increased taxes on tobacco and alcohol. Most of the funds raised will be used in the health sector and for infrastructure spending. In terms of cigarette prices, The World Health Organization ranks the Philippines as the fourth cheapest country.
Russia's government has also considered legislation to curb tobacco use. This legislation would increase taxes on tobacco by 40% by 2014, and would limit the advertisement of tobacco products. In Russia, the rapid population decrease has been a source of motivation for tobacco regulation and taxation. Russia has already implemented eight-fold tax hikes on cigarettes. Russian regulation is important to tobacco stocks because Russia is second only to China as the largest cigarette market, according to the World Health Organization.
Another country that is part of this trend is Australia. This country now requires disgusting images of gangrenous limbs or disturbing photos of cancer victims on cigarette packs. Australia's new standards require these unsettling images to cover 75% of the front covers of cigarette packs. Unsettling images include a skeletal man dying of lung cancer, an infected foot, or an image of tongue cancer. As for the rest of the pack, warnings have to cover the sides and ninety percent of the back.
Health officials anticipate that disgusting new cigarette packaging will dissuade consumers—particularly children—from smoking. Australia's minister of health Tanya Plibersek said, "Young people are the ones most affected by the packaging and by the advertising, and no parent wants their kid to start smoking."
The remainder of the packaging not covered in government-mandated images and warnings is required to be drab. According to the state law, any trademarks or product names have to be in Lucida Sans font and the background of the packaging must be a specified greenish-brown hue. State officials will enforce these rules.
Similar regulations will probably appear in other countries. Margaret Chan, Director-General of the World Health Organization said, "With so many countries lined up to ride on Australia's coattails, what we hope to see is a domino effect for the good of public health." Other nations including the United Kingdom, Russia, Turkey, India, and New Zealand expressed interest in more severe plain packaging rules.
Tobacco is Discretionary, Too
Aside from government crackdowns, there is old-fashioned market risk that cigarette companies bear. As it turns out, they are somewhat discretionary and get cut by consumers in economic downturns.
This flies in the face of conventional wisdom about tobacco products, which are often viewed as addictive. Though it's really hard to quit, customers do reduce their consumption in recession. Tobacco is not a recession-proof industry.
Philip Morris's (NYSE: PM) third quarter results illustrate how an economic slowdown can impact tobacco revenues. Shipments of Philip Morris cigarettes to Mexico, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil, and Canada fell 4.9% in the third quarter. Even worse, shipments to European countries including Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, and other European Union countries declined 8%.
Warning: Tobacco Stocks are Expensive Based On Valuation
These stocks are not trading at low-enough price multiples in light of how they face a global trend of higher regulation, taxes, and product bans. Investors would be better off investing in an S&P 500 index fund because its average price multiples are lower and its companies face less regulatory challenges.
It should also be noted that tobacco stocks also have high dividend payout rates that are unsustainable. These dividends will probably need to be curbed since payout ratios above 60% leave little room for reinvestment or earnings declines. New government restrictions, taxes, or earnings declines would threaten these dividends. The only dividend-paying tobacco company on this list with a sustainable payout ratio is Universal.

They all look amazing at the Gala.
many more gorgeous pictures of the three hot celeb couples after the jump…
The three hot couples all looked stunning last night at The Costume Institute Gala celebrating the new exhibition 'American Woman – Fashioning a National Identity', held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Manhattan, New York.
So glad to see happy couples especially having been reporting all these infidelities in LaLa Land. Speaking of infidelities..
Sienna Miller and Jude Law make the reconciliation official, appearing together on the red carpet at the annual Costume Institute Gala. The couple split in 2005 after Law was revealed to have had an affair with his children's nanny. Sienna wears an Emilio Pucci dress and Solange Azagury-Partridge jewels.
Which celebrity couple among these three would get your vote as the hottest couple?
For me, Gisele and Tom got my vote.

Symmetry and conservation law
View Single Post
Nov23-12, 07:44 AM
Sci Advisor
Actually, it's slightly more complicated. You didn't just add potential. You've modified the kinetic term.
[tex]p = \frac{\partial L}{\partial \dot{x}} = m\dot{x} + x[/tex]
So momentum of your particle is position-dependent. But lets take a look at total energy.
[tex]H = \dot{x}p - L = \frac{1}{2}m\dot{x}^2[/tex]
It looks like a Hamiltonian of a free particle. Of course, we need it in terms of momentum, so that's going to get messy.
[tex]H = \frac{p^2}{2m} - \frac{xp}{m} +\frac{2x-x^2}{2m}[/tex]
So it's a particle whose kinetic energy is function of p
x in a potential.
In other words, you did not simply create a different Lagrangian with same trajectory. You came up with a completely new set of physics where under a particular potential, you end up with the same equations of motion as free particle under normal physics. There is no surprise, then, that in general, the conservation laws are going to be very different with these new physics.

CFO Michael Kittoe: Helping to Upgrade Lake Health's Credit Standing
Yesterday, Moody's Investors Service upgraded Lake Health's credit rating to A3 from Baa1, which affects roughly $73 million of the system's outstanding rated debt. Moody's analysts said Mr. Kittoe and the Lake Health executive team have put the health system in a favorable position, and its financials have been growing across the board.
As of May 31, 2012, Mr. Kittoe has helped Lake Health improve its liquidity to 196 days cash on hand. Moody's analysts also praised the health system's ability to grow revenue by 6 to 8 percent over the past several years, and Lake Health's strong operating cash flow margins averaged 12 percent in the past five years — and that factored in the construction of a replacement facility and rising charity care levels.

Bill Libkey made me do it! I liked it. I keep doing it! Bassist for the Wharf Rats and occasionally with UXO, Barefoot Romeos, and KING LEWMAN as well as sporadic sit-ins...
Above sea level, below the radar, down low.
Bill Libkey
Ibanez 5 string fretless, no, Fender Precision, no, Guild b30, no Fender, uh Marty's fretless, no the P-Bass... no maybe a standup or cello...
Rickenbacker, Alembic or Warwick bass, cello and/or a standup.
Phil Lesh, John Doe, James Jameson and Duck Dunn first and foremost, then Jack Bruce and John Paul Jones, John Entwhistle, and Jack Casady, Flea: Because they're bassists...
This is a good opportunity for starting musicians to perform with others in a non-judgmental situation and a great chance for established musicians to perform with different combinations of players. It's also a great opportunity for skilled cats to set aside ego and gunslinging and mentor some folks along the path.
Thanks for the greeting Marv. Look forward to jamming soon
I'm not usually a 'giver-upper', lol. Thanks for the greeting! The BGG looks to be an awesome community.
Thank you :)
Thank You!
Hey Marv...welcome to NOVA Deadheads! (~);}
Hi, Marv
I have to staff the door from 3:30-5 PM. Can I reserve a playing spot for 6-6:30? Thanks. Bill Motsko
Thanks Marv!
Marv. Should I skip the never held.... event?
Thanks Marv!!! I really needed that advice. I went through my list of song I already have printed and will take your advice about the 3 songs. Now if my guitar playing doesn't clear the house my singing will. I'll make sure I'm on last and my opening song will be "Closing Time"!!!
Happy New Year to you fine folks. Glad to be back in the group again after way too long a time.
Now, I'll start to make plans on attending whatever I can. Not that easy since I live in York, PA as you probably know. Wheee. Anyway, we'll have fun whenever it's our turn. ha

Record Week
The Adirondack Phantoms established various records
in each of their three games last weekend in a
rather interesting an unpredictable sequence of
It all started with a massive number of attempts
on goal in a Valentine's Day Shot-Fest. 55 shots
is the most in Adirondack Phantoms history and
100 combined shots broke the Phantoms franchise
record of 98 that happened in 1998 in a game between
the Philadelphia Phantoms and Hamilton Bulldogs.
Mark Visentin of Portland thwarted the Phantoms
attack with 53 saves, the most in the AHL in over
four years.
The next night at Albany, it was a shot-record
of a different sort. 16 shots in the game against
the Devils is tied for the fewest ever for the
Adirondack Phantoms.
Then Sunday it was the fireworks from a huge brawl
at the Portland Pirates. 194 penalty minutes is
the most in the AHL in over 10 years as was the
combined 329 penalty minute total.
Five players have been suspended for the Phantoms
beginning with this Friday's game: Kris Newbury
(4 games), Cal Heeter (3 games), Zack FitzGerald
(2 games), Tye McGinn (1 game), Ben Holmstrom
(1 game).

Mark Alt is our Saratoga Spine Spotlight
Player of the Week. The big defenseman has two
goals and 11 assists so far this season including
one helper last weekend. The son of a former Pro
Bowl football lineman in the NFL, Mark excelled
at both hockey and football in high school but
elected to stick with hockey exclusively at the
University of Minnesota. Last season on April
15, Mark in one of his first ever pro games was
called upon to end the second-longest shootout
in AHL history when he scored in the 15th round
against the Binghamton Senators. That's our Saratoga
Spine Spotlight Player of the Week: Mark Alt.
Last Week
Friday, February 14 - Portland Pirates
3 - Adirondack Phantoms 2 (SO)
Both teams were in love with their shooting prowess
in this Valentine's Day Shot-Fest at the Glens
Falls Civic Center. Adirondack racked up 55 shots
in the game including 21 in the third period.
Jason Akeson finally broke through with 3:39 remaining
off a Kris Newbury faceoff-win to even the score
at 2-2 which ultimately earned the Phantoms a
standings point in the shootout loss. Ben Holmstrom
had scored his 10th of the year earlier in the
game deflecting a Newbury shot. The Adirondack
Phantoms broke the team-record for shots on goal
which used to be 53 but they fell shy of the Phantoms
franchise record of 60 shots in a game established
in 1999 by the Philadelphia Phantoms. The 100
combined shots broke the old franchise record
of 98 combined shots that took place in a game
in 1998. Yann Danis was stellar for Adirondack
with 42 saves but Mark Visentin's 53 stops earned
him the shootout victory.
February 15: Albany Devils 4 - Adirondack Phantoms
From 55 shots in a game to 16 shots just one day
later. Maybe Adirondack had used them all up in
their Friday game?! Adirondack's 16-shot total
was equal to their all-time low as a team. Chris
VandeVelde struck early for the Phantoms on a
nice give-and-go with Kyle Flanagan. VandeVelde's
first goal since December 6th (partly due to his
call-up to Philadelphia for five weeks) gave Adirondack
the 1-0 lead just a couple minutes into the game.
Yann Danis allowed one goal in the first period
to Tim Sestito but made several dazzling stops
after that to keep the Phantoms in the game. But
Albany scored them back-to-back a couple minutes
apart in the second period and then added an empty-netter
at the end.
Albany tied the season series against Adirondack
at 5-5 with the win and also tied the all-time
series between the two teams at 22-22 heading
into Game #45 in the rivalry this Friday night.
It was the last game at Times Union Center for
the Adirondack Phantoms who finished with a 3-3-0
record in the home of their Northway Rivals this
Sunday, February 16: Portland Pirates
2 - Adirondack Phantoms 0
game drew attention in the national media for
the wild brawl at the end of the contest. But
before the punches and penalty-minutes were flying,
the Phantoms and Pirates were engaged in a hard-fought
and competitive game at Androscoggin Bank Colisee
in Lewiston, Maine. A 0-0 deadlock after 40 minutes
was anything but unexciting. Both teams had terrific
chances but Cal Heeter for Adirondack and Louis
Domingue for Portland were in a tremendous goaltenders'
battle with one great save after another. Portland
would score a couple power-play goals in the third
period and then the two goalies would engage in
a different battle in one of the several fights
that broke out in the remaining seconds of the
Although the box score did not show it, the game
was a much better performance than the night before
for the Phantoms.

Planning your theme park vacation: Step 2 - where do you want to go?
Written by Robert Niles
Last week, we talked about money in taking our first step toward planning next year's theme park vacation. Today, we're going to forget about money for a few moments, and instead just daydream a bit about what we want from a theme park visit.Tweet
Where do you want to go? Let's think about the possibilities.
Again, I said to forget about money, for now. So don't toss aside an option simply because you think you can't afford it. We'll start pricing theme park vacations in the weeks ahead. But a "bargain" deal - an "affordable" vacation - will turn out to be a waste of money if you don't have a good time.
The key to getting the best possible deal on a theme park vacation is value. Value goes two ways. Most people think about what you give - the money you spend on a trip. But what you get is just as important in establishing value. If you don't have a good time, you're not getting value, no matter how little you spent on the vacation.
So, what are our options? For today's article, we'll look only at U.S. theme and amusement parks. (We'll take on the international parks later.) Think about your family, their ages and interests, as well as where you live and your preferred method of travel. Again, let's keep money out of it. If you prefer to get the travel part of your trip over quickly by flying, but you worry about airfares, don't, for the moment.
Let's take a look at six of the big reasons why people visit theme and amusement parks. Think about which of these categories best describes you and your family. (Of course, you might fit into more than one!) Then read though these categories and note which parks' names you see most often in your favorite categories. (Links to more information about all these parks can be found in the green column on the right side of this page.)
Roller coasters
Are coasters the reason you visit theme and amusement parks? Do you judge a vacation by the amount of airtime you had? Do you find yourself passing times in queues debating with others at what point a corkscrew becomes a heartline roll?
If you're looking just for coasters, your first choice for a destination ought to be Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. If you would prefer a west coast trip, think about Six Flags Magic Mountain, with an additional visit to nearby Knott's Berry Farm.
Other parks with multiple highly-rated coasters include Busch Gardens Europe in Williamsburg, Virginia, Six Flags Great Adventure in Jackson, New Jersey, Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee and Universal's Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando in Florida.
Story-driven rides and shows
With classics like Pirates of the Caribbean and the Haunted Mansion, Disney has been the king of the category. But fans of these rides should not overlook the Universal and Busch theme parks, either. Universal Orlando's Amazing Adventure of Spider-Man is one of the world's best dark rides, and the Busch Gardens and SeaWorld parks have created some memorable attractions in this space, as well, including Busch Gardens Europe's Curse of DarKastle and SeaWorld Orlando's Journey to Atlantis.
Kids' rides, shows and characters
Where you choose to go here will depend upon your kids' ages, as well as what their favorite characters are. Here is a list of popular cartoon, comic book and kids' entertainment companies and the theme parks where their characters can be found.
Disney: Walt Disney World, Disneyland
As you can see, this category isn't a slam-dunk for Disney, though many families will opt for Disneyland and Disney World. Legoland California might be the best park in the country for families with kids ages 3-9, though its options for kids younger than 3 are limited. Cedar Point has a large Peanuts plays areas aimed at Toddlers, Kings Island's got the Nick 'toons, and several Six Flags parks have extensive play areas aimed at pre-schoolers, as well.
The SeaWorld parks are obvious favorites among many animal lovers, but be sure to think about Busch Gardens Africa in Tampa, Florida, Disney's Animal Kingdom at Walt Disney World and Six Flags Great Adventure, too. SeaWorld's San Diego park might be a top choice here, given its proximity to the San Diego Zoo and San Diego Wild Animal park.
Theme parks provide immersive, sensory experiences - so why should taste be left out? Many foodies visit Walt Disney World's Epcot just for its variety of international restaurants, as well as its annual Food and Wine Festival in the fall. Other Walt Disney World parks offer outstanding food selections, too. On the west coast, Disneyland's famous Blue Bayou restaurant inside Pirates of the Caribbean packs 'em in, but the Napa Rose restaurant inside the Grand Californian Hotel has won many industry honors.
Universal Orlando features the world's top theme park restaurant, as voted by Theme Park Insider readers (Mythos at Islands of Adventure) as well as restaurants from Emeril Lagasse and other noted chefs.
Home cooking fans rave about Dollywood, and the Busch and SeaWorld parks put out a good spread, too. (Makes sense, since they are the only parks owned by a food and beverage company.)
Close to something else?
Theme parks don't have to be your only stop on a vacation. Many parks lie close to other attractions popular with families.
Almost every theme park these days has a water park either next door, or nearby, so swimmers will find plenty to do no matter where you choose to go. But if you are looking to combine a theme park vacation with a trip to the beach, here are your options:
Parks with beaches with a few minutes' walk or drive: Legoland California, SeaWorld San Diego, Cedar Point (okay, it's Lake Erie, but it is a beach.)
If your family has national park fans, consider Dollywood, located next door to the very popular Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Families with kids studying American history in school should think about Busch Gardens Europe, which stands just down the road from Colonial Williamsburg and nearby Jamestown settlement and the Yorktown battlefield.
Finally, movie fans should consider Universal Studios Hollywood, the closest theme park to the tourist areas of Los Angeles. (Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm lie in Orange County, which is a tough drive away from the westside of L.A. and Beverly Hills - up to 2-3 hours in traffic during rush hour.)
Got some ideas? Great! Too many ideas? Well, remember, you don't have to do it all in one year. Please feel welcomed to submit your thoughts or questions as a comment below, and let other Theme Park Insider readers share their opinions with you.
Also, it's good to have several options in mind at this stage, just before we start confronting your dreams with your budget realities. That's what we'll do next Thursday, when I write about how to price your options for a theme park vacation.
Readers' Opinions
From Tyler S. on November 13, 2008 at 1:14 PM
Sounds like a great article to read if you have no idea where to start on booking your theme park vacation! Also, BGE has Virginia Beach about 1 hour away.
From Robert Niles on November 13, 2008 at 1:40 PM
From Derek Potter on November 13, 2008 at 3:12 PM
I've been to several parks around the country, but there are a few that I haven't been to or would like to revisit. I think that my ideal theme park vacation, given that money is no object, is to go off the beaten path to Orlando and take an RV tour of the midwest/new england/east coast parks. There are several small operations in PA and NY with historical significance, and a lot of larger chain parks surrounding them. I would go as west as Holiday World in Indiana, as north as Mass, as east as the ocean, and as south as Dollywood. Lots of places to visit within that radius, and it would likely take a couple of months to do such a thing, but who cares.
From Joshua Counsil on November 13, 2008 at 7:12 PM
Orlando, California, and in the near future, Dubai. I also would like to check out Busch Gardens Europe to see Williamsburg and satisfy the history buff inside.
From Anthony Murphy on November 14, 2008 at 6:11 AM
I would say I go to parks for Theming, Roller Coasters, and Animals.
From Don Neal on November 14, 2008 at 6:32 AM
For kids, don't forget King's Island in Cincy with their top rated kid's area for the past several years. Tons of Nickelodeon stuff and a nice water park. Very affordable trip plus Cincy has tons of museums, a great zoo, the river front parks and dining, plus Red's baseball on the river front in the spring-summer-fall.
From Alan Puscus on November 14, 2008 at 10:31 AM
As a coaster fan, Cedar Point would be my first choice as you've suggested. If I get the chance to go, I'd also hit up King's Island. The state of Pennsylvania is also high on my "GO TO" list for "coasterpark" touring.
Although I love coasters, theming does play a big part of
From Vic Beltz on November 14, 2008 at 1:01 PM
Holiday World is fun!!! Free suntan lotion, free drinks, free parking!!!
From Larry Zimmerman on November 15, 2008 at 8:44 AM
Dream vacation? A week at WDW, then sail across the Atlantic and into the Med on Disney Magic. Catch the TGV train on the French Riviera to Paris, then out to Disneyland Paris for a week. Take the Orient Express across Europe and Asia to Hong Kong, spend a few days at Disneyland Hong Kong, then take a Chinese junk to Tokyo for Disneyland Tokyo. Then put me on the Disney Wonder for a Wonder-ful trans-Pacific crossing to Long Beach, where I'd wind up my global Disney circumnavigation with a three-day visit to the original Disneyland and California Adventure.
Is it possible? Not today. But if they're reading...what a great adventure, eh?
From Joshua Counsil on November 16, 2008 at 1:16 PM
Sounds amazing, Larry, but if I went to those locations I'd probably want to see things other than theme parks.

If you have NEVER been to Africa, when someone mentions "Africa" or you hear "Africa", what is the FIRST thing that comes into your mind?
People associate different regions/continent based on media, informational material, myths, stereotypes and such. The main idea of this discussion is to find out what people who never had "first hand experience" think about the continent. Thanks for your contribution.

Apr 10 2013: Hey Edward,
I fully recognize that word and majority of conversation involving Africa rarely leave the term "poverty"....And yes Africa is well endowed if only we tap and utilize the resources fully.
If I may ask....does poverty apply to all Ethiopian..or the region you were stationed?
Love, Mary

The Wailers
Reggae music has never stopped evolving, but for millions of people, it's still defined by the songs of Bob Marley and the Wailers which originally formed in 1969 and sold in excess of 250 million albums worldwide. Aston "Family Man" Barrett, anchor of the band, and original member, uses his old school know-how as he carries on the leadership of the Wailers. Their heartbeat rhythms have inspired so much of what's followed since, as evidenced by the "one-drop" reggae sound. Hits such as "Stir It Up" and "Get Up, Stand Up" define the Rastafarian way of peace, love and unity.

A Simultaneous Equation Model for World Crude Oil and Natural Gas Markets
AbstractA model for world crude oil and natural gas markets is estimated. It confirms low price and high income elasticities of demand for both crude oil and natural gas, which explains the market power of oil producers and price volatility following shocks. The paper establishes a relationship between oil prices, changes in the nominal effective exchange rate (NEER) of the U.S. dollar, and the U.S. interest rates, thereby identifying demand shocks arising from monetary policy. Both interest rates and the NEER are shown to influence crude prices inversely. The results imply that crude oil prices should be included in the policy rule equation of an inflation targeting model.

Is permaculture a feasible alternative to traditional agriculture?
Australians Bill Mollison and Geoff Lawton created (or re-created) the concept of permaculture as alternative to traditional agriculture, but goes much beyond only agriculture. According to them "permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the stability, diversity and resilience of natural ecosystems." The philosophy behind permaculture is one of working with, rather against nature. It appears that systems based on permaculture can offer the same or even better yield than traditional production.

Feb 18 2011: Why is your question an "either or?" All sorts of principles of permaculture as I've experienced can be incorporated into traditional agriculture, whatever that is ("prevailing wisdom" or overall "practices"?). To me the more important aspect of your question is how to learn and grow, then apply with greater consciousness and respect such principles in agriculture, which I think can be viewed additionally as just a component of our ecosystems. "Natural" seems to me sort of like the wall that we have erected between Mexico and the US. My bees seem to "love" some of the (unnatural ) ways we've given them a more expressive playing field.
Feb 18 2011: I suspect that Harald meant industrial agriculture, as is the norm these days, not the old traditional agriculture we used to have before that. Mind you, slash and burn could also be considered traditional, but it's hardly sustainable.
" "Natural" seems to me sort of like the wall that we have erected between Mexico and the US."
Not being from the US or Mexico, and not having paid any attention to the subject, I'm not sure I'm following what you're trying to say here. Actually, I'm pretty sure I'm not following at all :D. Is this a physical wall you're talking about? A cultural wall? The way the US deals with illegal immigrants? I'm probably missing something obvious that would link it to permaculture, could you please explain?

This is my favourite Lush product!! I have really dry skin on my legs, arms and chest, but rarely have time to moisturise properly after my shower, so this is perfect to save time. I just slather it on in the shower, leave it for a minute to soak in, then rinse off...First of all this smells AMAZING...I love floral scents anyway, but this is like a sweet rose scent with a hint of honey. Delicious! It moisturises so well, and leaves my skin dewy and glowing. The scent lasts on my skin all day, but isn't overpowering, which I like! The only downsides are the price. At £15.95, it's rather expensive, and the fact it does have parabens in it, which I definitely try to avoid..but I'm totally addicted to this product anyway!
Despite the hype I never bought this because I hated the smell - it smelled a bit like urea to be frank. Last weekend I had a moment of insanity and bought this anyway. I have to say the experience of the smell in shower is totally different. It has a strong bright rose scent but pleasant and no urine. If you hate rose, don't bother. The SA said they're coming out with a new scent in a few weeks though.
Going for the hair product comparison similar products I've tried (Nivea, L'Occitane, No7) are light conditioners for oily hair and this is a heavy repair mask for severely dry damaged hair. It goes on smooth and easily but when you try to rinse it felt kinda gross, sticky and like a thick layer of gunk of the skin. If you fight the urge to scrub at it or lather up again and dab (don't rub) your skin dry the end effect is fantastic. My skin holds the smell (only detectable up close) for several hours and feels more moisturised than if I use an actual body lotion. I don't use a body lotion when I've used this and that is impressive because otherwise I use a heavy duty one daily, even in summer. This wins serious points for making those unnecessary.
I hate the packaging - tubs of anything are going to be a pain to use in the shower- and the short shelf life of lush products has always put me off but this is a great product. I find this to be really pricey but until I find anything else that performs even close I'll live with it. I would definitely buy again. Can't wait for the new scent.
I will never understand why people like the smell or feel of this.
It's greasy.
It smells like an old lady.
It doesn't work.
I got it in my Lush Legends box and it's the only thing I don't like but I'm keeping it for the free face mask...I'm probably going to just dump it down the drain and wash out the container and hope it doesn't stink up my house.
Sorry not sorry.
The smell (rose jam) is impeccable! This body conditioner (which is like hair conditioner but for the body) is supposed to moisturize the skin and will therefore leave no need for lotion. It's a smidge pricey but I'd definitely re-purchase!
More reviews by wooedwiththistles
I got to be honest when I first used this I didn't like it. It had a really thick oil layer when you get out of the shower that was just gross, But I kept trying to find a way to make it work for me. The only way I can is to use it before I wash my body. It really cuts down on the oiliness and by the time I dry off my skin is super soft and I don't need lotion. Probably best for someone that is really dry. The smell isn't really rosy so I don't know why it came in my Rosie gift box, to me it's a very coco butter smell that is fantastic. I would recommend to people with rather dry skin.
(Update) : I recently got "honey I washed the kids" which is a bar soap. And I find I can use this as directed (after you wash) when I paired it with that. Before I had Turkish delight which is really moisturizing already. So it's important to know if your soap is already moisturizing.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Oh my! this was better than I expected! I use this with my exfoliating gloves from The Body Shop and its just heaven! my skin was sooo incredibly soft after. I highly recommend this!
I went to the LUSH store and feel in love with this product when one of the lovely people who work there got me to receive a hand treatment normally they do for the customers. I made sure to save the name on my phone so next time I went to Lush I could get. It has a whipped creamy texture and feels so good when I put it on my whole body. It kind of reminds me of Creme Anglaise.The scent of sweet roses lingers on after I dry my skin.
MY WAY OF USING THE PRODUCT: I have my own set of directions that I feel gets the best of the product. Rather than washing it off, I dry my skin and slather it on just like a moisturizer. I feel this way it acts like a super moisturizer! Also i don't need to use a whole lot product, so I save.
More reviews by BrightWhiteHeart
As awesome as this product smells, it breaks out the skin on my chest--which is sad. What drew me in initially was the LUSH gal telling me how fabulous it was to put on your skin and then soak in the bath with it, making your skin feel like silk. It did feel nice, but it wasn't worth the acne it gave my chest. I've tried using it differently, like at the end of my shower. But I still break out. I've resorted to only sometimes using it on my arms and legs. Still smells very nice though.... and I haven't given up on trying to make it work for me... just haven't totally figured out how yet.^^
What I REALLY want to try is the rose jam shower gel. Too bad it's seasonal. You can BET I'll buy the biggest size bottle next time they have it! Shower gel doesn't seem like something that would break me out. Hopefully not, at least. I *LOVE* the rose jam smell.
Literally the only moisturizer I can trust! I apply after a shower after toweling dry, I feel like it works more effectively for me with less wastage as well. Godsend!
This product is by far the best thing that's ever happened to my skin. It's deeply moisturising which is great for my super dry skin and has not aggravated my eczema like other body lotions can. It's convenient cos you can just rub it on in the shower in one minute flat and walk out with well hydrated and beautiful-smelling skin. It has an amazing gentle rose scent. I also soak in the bath with it now and again- I put a couple of spoonfuls in the tub and let it all soak in. It's beautiful and I can't recommend it enough

Full Blog: Buying Boat Insurance Those of you who own boat will want to make sure you get watercraft coverage. Often times, people don't realize that they need this type of coverage for their boats. There are many boat owners that don't even realize this type of insurance is even available. You need boat insurance if you own a boat, it's that simple. Before you buy boat insurance, here are some things you simply must know. - Many states now require that you carry watercraft liability coverage. What this coverage does, is protect you against any damage that you cause to other people or their property with your boat. This insurance will also cover you for vandalism, theft, fire, stranding, sinking, and even collision. You should always call your insurance agent and see what's required with your state and what policies they cover. - There is also optional coverage that you should really consider. One type of coverage that you should strongly consider is Wreckage Removal. In most areas, the removal of sunken or wrecked boats is required by law, and the responsibility of the owner to pay for the removal, which can easily be very expensive. Wreckage Removal coverage will pay these costs for you. You should also consider adding coverage that will pay for repairs and mechanical failure as well, along with towing charges - should you ever need to be towed back to the shore. - Not all insurance companies cover everyone who operates the boat. This is something you should always ask about, find out who is covered when operating the boat. There are several companies that will only cover the owner of the boat. Make sure that the insurance agent defines who is covered when operating the boat. - When you shop for boat insurance, call your current company first, then check with other companies to see what type of rates they offer as well. Always remember that insurance agencies are in competition with each other, and they'll work with you to get you to join them. Let one know about a better rate that you've been quoted and see if they'll go one better. Before you shop for boat insurance, think about the investment you have made with your boat. Boats are not cheap, replacing or repairing them isn't cheap either. Therefore, you should always make sure you get the coverage you need to protect you against anything that happens with your boat.

Free Reviews: Finding Everything You Need on Craigslist Craigslist is an extensive community offering a variety of products and services as well as forums for likeminded individuals to discuss issues of importance to them and those who share opposing viewpoints to express their opinions as well. Craigslist also receives approximately four billion page views per month making it clear that there are many people who already realize the value of Craigslist. However, there are many who don't quite understand Craigslist yet. This article will focus on answering three important questions related to Craigslist for those who do not fully understand what Craigslist is and how they can use it. What Is Craigslist? One of the most elementary questions many people have regarding Craigslist, is what is it? Craigslist is essentially akin to a combination of a newspaper's classified section combined with the editorial page and a job seekers website all offered online for easy access. Craigslist is an online community which features an extensive classified section including sections for sales of a variety of products and services, sections for job advertisements and even a personals section. Additionally, Craigslist offers locations for individuals to post resumes and a discussion forum where a variety of subjects can be debated and information can be shared. Sound confusing? It really isn't. A quick visit to the Craigslist.org website will make it immediately clear how much useful this online community really is to people seeking all types of information, products and services. Not only does Craigslist offer such a wealth of information but it also conveniently divides this information into geographical regions making it simple to search for products and services offered in a specific area. How Can Craigslist Help You? Now that you understand what Craigslist is, you may still wonder how it can help you specifically. There is no one simple answer to this question. The benefits you can gain from Craigslist will depend on what you are looking for from this community. In this section we will discuss some of the relevant uses of Craigslist for those who are seeking to purchase products or services, find a job or meet friends or romantic partners and in the following section we will discuss how Craigslist can be beneficial to a business. There is a section on Craigslist specifically for those who are looking to purchase or sell an item. Here those who have items for sale can post an advertisement in an appropriate category and receive responses from those who are interested in this item. Additionally, there is a section for individuals who are seeking a specific item to post an advertisement specifying the item they are looking for and the price they are willing to pay for this item. Craigslist can also be an excellent place to find a job. Craigslist offers a section for job seekers to review job advertisements as well as a section for job seekers to post their resume. One of the major advantages to searching for a job on Craigslist is it offers a variety of flexible options such as telecommute positions and contract positions as well as full time and part time employment. Craigslist can also help individuals meet platonic or romantic friends. There is a personals section on Craigslist where individuals can post advertisements or view advertisements in search of a friend or date. As with any online dating situation, care should be taken to ensure meetings with these potential friends or dates are safe. Arranging initial meetings in public locations or bringing a trusted friend along can help to make these meetings safer. How Can Craigslist Help Your Business? Business owners can benefit from using Craigslist. As previously mentioned, Craigslist receives approximately four billion page views per month so advertising on Craigslist makes it easy to reach a large audience with minimal effort. Business owners can use Craigslist in a number of ways. The most obvious use is to post advertisements touting products and services offered. Another way business owners can use Craigslist is to check out competitors on Craigslist and learn more about how they are reaching potential customers. PPPPP Word count 684

When the Cherokee chief appeared, Oglethorpe said to him, "Fear nothing. Speak freely." "I always speak freely," an- swered the mountaineer. "Why should I fear!

This is the best student level concert marimba in the 4.3 octave range. The 4.3 octave size is excellent for all middle schools, and even some high schools. The concert frame should not be taken outdoors or transported very often. You'll need a field frame for that. The Acoustalon synthetic bars are the best synthetic in my opinion, with the most natural sound. The special holes or vents in the bars help prevent the unnatural sounding ring that occurs in other brand's synthetic bars. The frame is height adjustable. I have found this instrument to be very durable, if treated properly. The best feature of this instrument is the bar tuning. Yamaha bar tuning is by far superior to all the other major brands. They have very strict quality control and the tuning is very consistent.

Wow I can not believe how many f***** up people are on here .. Find a f****** man you dumb b**** it's your son ! Since when did incest become normal ?
I would say to have sex with him. I had sex with my mother when I was 18 and it was so great. We've never been closer than that time. That was 20 years ago and mom is still the best I've ever had.
Yes I tell you do it. I fought this for months and one morning made a move that made the two of us much better off. You are both consenting adults. It will work!
Do it. There is more than enough c*** regarding so called incest. You are consenting, you are adult, you want him. If you want to feel better about it then take him in your mouth first but I guarantee shortly afterwards you will need him inside you. Forget convention. You wont regret it. Trust me. I know.
This is your SON(you gave birth to him, seriously)! How can you being horney provide adequate justification for wanting to bang your son? It is so inappropriate and I seriously think there is some psychological problems here (not just you wanting to get some). I think you have to be a mother to him and if you think he is trying to entice you into the sack maybe seek therapy for him and yourself because what you are thinking will destroy your relationship and surely cause mental anguish. Yuck.
Yep, give that a ride. As suggested above, you need to give him some "accidental" glimpses of the treasure chest and let him make the first move. More than likely he'll be slamming you good real soon.

"I thought these were beautiful and very cost effective. I should have looked at the measurements, because they were a little smaller than I was expecting, but overall I'm very happy!"
"We ordered these save the dates and they were perfect. The customer service kept in touch with us sending proofs and made changes we asked for promptly. When they arrived they were even better than pictured. Also, our designer sent a personal note to us after and that was an awesome touch!"
"These were so cool, and we were skeptical about ordering online, but we were very happy with the product. The quality is great, and everyone loved how we personalized the words. Highly recommended!"
"These save the dates are so elegant and beautiful. I've received so many compliments on them. I ordered the pearl shimmer paper as advised and it gave the card a beautiful shimmer look (not tacky at all). It made the card look more expensive. I called Wedding Paper Divas twice to ask questions during the ordering process and both times they were very helpful and pleasant. Their customer service is great!"
"I would like to thank the designer that worked on the customized save the date I asked for. Everything worked out beautifully. I am absolutely in love with the design and the writing and the size of the magnet was even larger than I thought it would be. It looks great on the refrigerator. I recommend that if you want to send the save the dates out this is a unique one to use! Thanks to the designer!"
