Scipio stared helpless and confused while James eyed the pattern of the gun.
Scipio mounted the veranda and passed along to the door of the store.
Scipio's day-dreams were of a piece with his loyalty, a reflection in some sort of his master's glory.
After that no word passed until Scipio had left the store for the barn.
My dear Laelius and Scipio, we must stand up against old age and make up for its drawbacks by taking pains.
What happened to him after that Scipio never fully understood.
Scipio's bleached eyes brightened with admiration as he considered the Southerner's back.
Scipio did not go under in the manner to have been expected of him.
Scipio recalled to Utica by the fear of an attack upon his fleet.
Scipio might be incapable of organization, but he certainly could scour and scrub.

Very easy to install and now I'm getting all the water I need.. Works great! Awesome in almost every way, maybe a little loud By tramboneplayer5 on 5/18/2013 tramboneplayer5 would recommend this product to a friend My 75GPD 6-stage chloramines RO/DI kit was more like a 35-40GPD system until I got this pump. Water used to trickle out so slowly. The TDS going in to the DI stage was high as well and I was tearing through DI resin like crazy. When I added this pump, I had to turn it down a little to get back to 80psi by using the small hex screw in the center of the top and turning it counter-clockwise. Water shoots out so much faster (80-90GPD) and the TDS is lower out of the RO stage. The only mistake was mounting this to a wall - the vibration is carried through the house and it makes it pretty loud. I will try moving it to another surface that is de-coupled from the wall. Does the job By den75 on 5/12/2013 den75 would recommend this product to a friend Excellent pump. PSI went from 32 to 85 immediately increasing my RO/DI output and lessening my waste water. Excellent product By abi on 4/29/2013 abi would recommend this product to a friend Great pump! My municipal water pressure was at 29 psi this pump brought it all the way up to 60 psi with room to increase the pressure! Excellent for my 150 gpd rodi water saver plus unit. Great product By retnip on 4/15/2013 retnip would recommend this product to a friend This is really a neat little pump, it comes with everything you would need to boost the pressure to your ro system. It boosted my pressure from 45lbs to around 90lbs. It is a little noisy and needs to be mounted to something so it dosnt walk around. Its easy to hook up, just snip out a short section of supply hose, and a short section of the hose that goes to your storage tank to insert the pressure switch. When you float rises, the pump will shut off automatically. Works Great! By Christy on 4/13/2013 Christy would recommend this product to a friend This works great! Bought the 75gpd RO/DI unit and when I got it set up I was VERY disappointed to find I only had about 30 psi and a periodic trickle of filtered water coming out. Purchased the booster pump and patiently (not really lol) waited for it to come so I could get rolling on curing the dry rock I previously purchased. Hooked it up and started getting nearly 100 psi!! Had to turn it back a little. Now pulling a steady 80 psi at 0 tds and have my rock curing in the basement!! :-) Next purchase might just have to be the converter kit to increase my unit to the 150 gpd now that I have the pump and know it could handle it!! :-) great solved my low pressure problem By chen yang on 3/30/2013 chen yang would recommend this product to a friend before the pump i was getting around 45 psi at best. after I installed this , which was super easy! I got around 95 psi. so i have to dialed down a bit to around 80 psi. i am really happy that i can finally utilize full of my ro di unit. none of the other big aquarium online store offer booster pump kit and instrucitons. thank you brs! Time is money By greenwizard on 3/25/2013 greenwizard would recommend this product to a friend doubled my water output. Wonderful! By Terrie on 3/13/2013 Terrie would recommend this product to a friend Absolutely worth every $1 spent for it. My water makes in 1/2 the time it use to and I do go through less Di Resin :) Great Product By Toby on 3/12/2013 Toby would recommend this product to a friend I get 60psi from my municipal water supply. When someone is using water, it's alot less. This eliminates the problem. Im getting 90psi constantly. 1# Doubles production 2# Better rejection rate.,reduces TDS before the DI canisters from 14 before the pump to 7-8 TDS. Saves DI Resin. Well worth it. By Bob on 2/24/2013 Bob would recommend this product to a friend I was only getting 42 PSI with my home water pressure on a 75 GPD RO/DI unit. I added a 150 GPD upgrade kit and this pump and get a steady 88 PSI. It is a very quiet pump and fills my 32 gal. can in half the time. I am very pleased with this product. Easy Installation By Jeremy on 2/22/2013 Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend My pressures were borderline with running a second membrane. This was installed very quickly and the output was improved drastically. Superb By Edward on 2/15/2013 Edward would recommend this product to a friend Was getting only 28-30PSI before getting this unit. I live in an old factory converted to a high rise apartment complex. I initially looked on ebay for a cheap unit, but after adding it all up, you really arent saving much money. I spent the extra $20 or so on the Aquatec 8800 kit from BRS and am very happy that I did. After installing this, I get a steady 90PSI. My RO/DI output is a steady stream of water where it used to be a couple drips per second. Pump is quiet, installation a breeze. I highly recommend this product. Pump it up By LOUIS on 2/15/2013 LOUIS would recommend this product to a friend So this certainly improved my RO/DI unit in combination with the 75gl extra membrane. I wasn't getting the amount the video stated till I understood that I needed the extra pressure. I am glad I got the full kit and not just the pump. I like it when all the parts needed are on hand and just to be installed instead of tracking down all the parts to actually use the pump. Less water to waste and collect for other use's helps with the water bill. Allows me to use my RO/DI Unit with a Well By Miles on 2/13/2013 Miles would recommend this product to a friend I purchased this kit when last year when I moved to the country. I use it in conjunction with the Auto Shutoff Kit and am able to let my RO/DI system run continuously (if I forget to turn it off). This pump has brought me up from 40 PSI to 70PSI. I initially had to adjust it the output down from 90 PSI but have not had any problems with it. It is by no means silent, but I have it in my unfinished basement and can't hear it upstairs. A must have for marginal water pressure. By Al on 1/28/2013 Al would recommend this product to a friend Yeah - your bill is adding up and it seems to be a huge increase to the cost of your new system. I was getting 55 psi out of my house water, and I'm glad I pulled the trigger here. What I have found is that anything you can do to reduce the amount of waste water (rejection rates) the better - I haven't regretted this purchase at all - in fact, I want to say its a must, especially if you are doing the 150gpd upgrade kit. Good pump, a little noisy By Jerry on 1/23/2013 Jerry would recommend this product to a friend I put this pump on my system to boost the pressure, works good for that but is a bit noisy. A must have with a RO uinit By RANDY on 1/23/2013 RANDY would recommend this product to a friend This pump does everything I expected it to do. I did not have enough water pressure to stop the production of waist water. Now my system works flawlessly and faster to boot! Great Product By Jeremy on 1/2/2013 Jeremy would recommend this product to a friend I was using Di and first stage filters like crazy. Now with this kit was just what the doctor ordered! Easy to install and it has everthing you need to boost your system! A must have By Robert on 12/30/2012 Robert would recommend this product to a friend Pressure stays constant no matter what, people showering, laundry, dishwasher running. What A Difference! By PATRICK on 12/14/2012 PATRICK would recommend this product to a friend I added this to my BRS Water Saver Plus 150 Gallon Per Day unit. Before the pump, I was pulling 25-40 PSI from my well; afterwards, I have a steady 90 PSI. It fills my 30 gallon trash cans super fast. The pump is very quiet and I now have it mounted under my sink with the RO unit. A MUST have for low preasure By John on 11/19/2012 John would recommend this product to a friend After adding my RODI unit my pressure was only 35-40 PSI which was not getting me anywhere on making my water. After adding this pump to my system I now have a SOLID 90PSI when making water. This unit is extremely quiet and well built – A must have! without a doubt its a great investment By jorge on 11/2/2012 jorge would recommend this product to a friend So i got the pump yesterday and by 6:30pm i was filling my 55gallon and a 64gallon drums, i am very satisfied by how quick they were filled. I really apreciate your business and shipping is fast too! AAA+++++ Can't beat for winter preparation! By Brandon on 10/18/2012 Brandon would recommend this product to a friend This pump is even better than I expected. It was simple to install. Not to mention, it's much quieter than I had expected! I thought as soon as I plugged this thing it, it would sound like a small air compressor, man was I wrong! I purchased this pump because I run a 90gpd piggy-back. My home water pressure is around 60psi in the summer, however, with the winter coming along, the cold water drastically reduces the pressure. I see such a pressure drop because this unit is setup in an outside Rubbermaid storage shed specifically for hobby items. This includes two 32 gallon Brute trash cans for fresh and saltwater mix. The water runs from a 75 foot hose from the house, to the RO/DI unit. Last year, I experienced pressures so low during the winter, I had to take my additional piggy-back membrane off and just run one. This year, with the additional pressure from the pump, I'll be prepared for winter! I highly recommend this product. Not to mention, you can't beat BRS' price on this!

Delray Beach/USA – 23rd February, 2014:
HEAD Racquet Rebel Marin Cilic won his second title in three weeks as he defeated Kevin Anderson 7-6(6), 6-7(7), 6-4 to take his 11th ATP trophy at Delray Beach. The Florida victory for the Croatian, who recommends the HEAD Graphene Instinct, came after he also won this month at home in Zagreb and played the Rotterdam final a week ago against fellow HEAD player Tomas Berdych.
"It feels awesome, especially after waiting for a long time last night (semi-finals) and finishing after 1 a.m.," said the winner. "Then, today to come back and win it, I'm really happy with this victory. It wasn't easy for my nerves, for my coach Goran's (Ivanisevic) nerves especially."
Cilic heads into the March Masters 1000 double in the US next month after winning his 18th match of the season. He now stands ahead of compatriot Ivan Ljubicic on second behind the 22 Croatian titles of Ivanisevic. The final lasted just over three hours over former tournament winner Anderson. But Cilic did admit that his run of brilliant tennis had taken its toll: "These three weeks have been very long for me, I'm going to enjoy it for a while and have a little rest."
In Marseille, Racquet Rebel Richard Gasquet, who endorses the HEAD IG Extreme, played his second French semi-final of the month, losing to Ernest Gulbis 3-6, 2-6 but staying ninth in the rankings.
HEAD also figured in the women's WTA event in Brazil as Italian Nastassja Burnett, who recommends the HEAD IG Extreme, reached the first semi-final of her career, going down in a 4-6, 6-3, 2-6 battle in South America to Kurumi Nara of Japan. Burnett, a 21-year-old ranked 160th, fought for more than two and a half hours on the clay.

CodeTRUCKER here!.
Ever wondered where that appellation came from? Ok, maybe not, but in the last three years I have often wondered where the different UIDs originated. Names like "allen," "mrainey" and "zridling" are not too tough to guess at but, nicknames like, "Tinjaw," "app103," "f0dder" "Ampa" and "Innuendo" intrigue me. There has to be a story behind those monikers, for sure. Take mine; for instance,... "CodeTRUCKER."
My UID, "CodeTRUCKER" was born because I have been a professional TRUCKER for 20+ years and I own (as in, "paid for") my Volvo VNL770 tractor. I am a degreed Computer Programmer, but I still can do a modicum of "Code"-ing, in spite of the degree. The only thing is, this has backfired among my associates. Read on...
The world of the Trucker is laden with regulations and "codes" we have to adhere to in order to operate and my fellow-truck drivers ALWAYS read my "CodeTRUCKER" as me being a goody-two-shoes driver that never breaks any law and only does everything "by the book." I have to explain that I "code," as in "program" computers to keep the lynch mobs to a minimum.
Ok, now it is your turn. While I hope no one feels compelled to reveal any deep, dark secrets, I am persuaded that I am not the only one who was curious when seeing a post by "Mouser."

Whether it was good karma, huge hearts, bungling officials or divine intervention, one thing is certain - the Ohio State Buckeyes emerged from the Fiesta Bowl as National Champions for the first time in 34 years! After a remarkable undefeated season, the underdog Buckeyes took the field at Sun Devil Stadium against the big, bad Miami Hurricanes, and against all odds, emerged victorious in a double-overtime thriller, one of College Football's all-time classic games.
Even in the third quarter, with the Buckeyes holding a 14-7 lead, the packed house (which sounded like a home crowd at Ohio Stadium) had no idea what they were about to witness. However, they liked what they saw as Craig Krenzel was once again leading the team down field, picking apart the "invincible" Miami defense. With the ball on the Miami 30 and Krenzel calling the play from the Shotgun...SNAP! The moment is preserved for all-time, and is now available for your wall.
This incredible panoramic poster features National Championship Game Night, in all its glory. Like all prints in photographer Rob Arra's Everlasting Images series, every detail of the scene is in perfect focus, and as you pan across the image you feel like you are actually there. You can read the scoreboards, see the players on the sideline and the action on the field, the cheerleaders, the marching bands, and the massive sea of red-clad OSU fans that packed the stadium. For longtime fans of Buckeyes football, this piece is a must-have addition to your wall, forever invoking memories of Krenzel, Maurice Clarett, Chris Gamble, Mike Doss, Dustin Fox, and the rest of the boys from that unforgettable night. Worthy of a nice frame and a central location on your sports wall-of-fame!

What was the method of make? Laminating? Carving? I'm planning on making a longboard so I'm looking at different methods; what was yours?
I laminated, it has concave but no kick tail. the whole thing is made from scraps i collected while working at a saw mill. some might call it going green, i call it poor bot Ingenuity. so i guess it wasn't a usual method, more like making a skate out of a jigsaw puzzle. i glued thin scraps into panels then planed and sanded them as flat and thin as i could. i had the advantage of access to a fully loaded commercial wood shop. there's four layers just under 1/8". i made my press out of wood covered with wax so the board cant stick to the press. rub skate wax on it and set it in the sun till the wax melts and soaks in i did like three coats. i used C-clamps to provide pressure.
Very fun to ride indeed.
For all you longboarders out there, check out http://www.skatefurther.com and get on a board!
i did a trhick layer of paint and it wrinkled and i don't need griptape.
the bearings are skooter bearings so they scrape on the edge of the bolt and truck
not sure if that's the best way to go. I had never done inlays and i was working with scraps so i just kind of made it up as i went along and got lucky. i hope that helps.
I was going for a vintage surfboard style. got got the idea for that tail shape from the surfboards in the movie Lords of Dogtown.
i never got a chance to ride it. i sold it to a friend and he moved away before he set it up. he called me and said he loves it and i think hes still skating it.

My family and I recently stayed at Awesome Apt 2+2 in Florence and had a great time. The apartment was as pictured, nice and clean, and it was extremely convenient - right next to Piazza della Signoria, right in the center of downtown Florence. Danilo and staff were very helpful in getting us settled in and recommending places to see and eat at. They were very responsive, and we didn't have any issue reaching them when we needed assistance. Would highly recommend this place!

We arrived early and Danilo was there to greet us and let us into the "Orange" apartment. The location is fantastic - steps from Piazza Signoria, Uffizzi, Duomo, and Piazza Republicca to name a few. The apartment was spotless, very roomy and perfect for our family of four. With the temperature in the high 90s, it was great to have the refuge of air conditioning. While we did not eat any meals in, the kitchen was fully equipped and it would have been possible to cook anything. We made use of the washing machine, and although there is no dryer, once the drying rack was set up, our clothes were dry in 24 hours. The only drawback was the steps up to the apartment. There is a VERY slow elevator so if you are in a hurry, be prepared to climb. Danilo was in the office everyday, and if he was not there, Tomas was. They were extremely helpful and hospitable! I would not hesitate to recommend the Signoria Apartments for your stay and we can't wait to return! Thanks Danilo!

My daughter, her boyfriend, and myself recently stayed 4 nights in Florence in the Two Bedroom Apartment. It was a wonderful experience. Danilo and his staff were very welcoming and accommodating. The location is excellent in the center of Florence near the Piazza Signoria, the Uffizi Museum, the Duomo and many other historic sites in the north bank area of the Arno River. Right out the door is shopping, restaurants, caffes, gelato, groceries. Everything was in walking distance. The apartment is beautiful, clean, comfortable. The owner and management staff is on site and very helpful. I would definitely stay again.

Pasamos cuatro noches en uno de los apartamentos (en concreto, el naranja; y es que cada uno tiene asignado un color en que se basa la decoración). Lo mejor es la ubicación, en pleno centro, al lado de la plaza de la Signoria y a dos pasos de la catedral. El único inconveniente de la excelente localización es que por la noche se oía bastante el ruido de la calle, pero eso es inevitable estando donde estaba (y como acabábamos rendidos, y yo en concreto utilizo tapones, ¡yo casi que ni me enteré!) Los apartamentos están muy bien, con todo lo necesario y un diseño bastante cuidado, aunque hay algún detallito mejorable (servicio de limpieza diario y no final, o más utensilios de cocina, por ejemplo). En cualquier caso, cuando necesitamos algo (como por ejemplo, un adaptador), se nos solucionó. También nos gustó el podernos comunicar con el responsable por correo electrónico y tener respuesta a casi todas nuestras preguntas (por ejemplo, nos reservó entradas para museos y nos dio información práctica para la llegada, aunque se le olvidó decirnos que tenían servicio de transporte hasta la estación, lo cual supimos ya demasiado tarde). Otro pequeño inconveniente es que no hay ascensor desde la planta baja (algo de lo que se informa en la información del establecimiento) y a partir del primer piso hay un montacargas, no un ascensor, que es bastante lento. En nuestro caso, esto supuso un pequeño problema porque íbamos con niños pequeños, pero si no, un poco (más) de ejercicio tras patear Florencia no es dramático. En resumen, si volviera a Florencia para quedarme en un apartamento, no miraría otras opciones.

President Obama was accused by liberal critics of coddling Wall Street during his first term. His pick of Mary Jo White to head the Securities and Exchange Commission is a signal that he is ready to take a more confrontational approach toward the financial industry. The timing of the SEC selection—coming three days after his inaugural address in which he championed a progressive agenda and a willingness to fight for it—underscores that message.
Obama will announce the decision at a 2:30 p.m. event at the White House, according to administration officials. At the same event, he will announce his decision to renominate Richard Cordray as head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Cordray, a former Ohio attorney general with a record of taking on banks, was installed as head of the financial watchdog agency in a recess appointment a year ago. He is an ally of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., the outspoken Wall Street critic who conceived of the CFPB's creation.
White prosecuted several high-profile cases while serving for almost a decade as a U.S. attorney in New York. Many of those cases involved white-collar crime and financial fraud. "The SEC plays an essential role in the implementation of Wall Street reform and rooting out reckless behavior in the financial industry, and White's background in enforcement and record of success make her the perfect choice to lead the agency at this important time," a White House official said.
The administration is still working to put the finishing touches on rules that will implement the sweeping 2010 Dodd-Frank financial regulatory overhaul. The SEC and the CFPB will be important players in that process.
Though Obama famously criticized "fat cat" bankers in 2009, consumers activists felt he did not go far enough to rein in "too big to fail" financial institutions and felt that Wall Street emerged relatively unscathed from the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. Departing Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, a former Federal Reserve Bank of New York President and key player in the 2008 Wall Street rescue, has been a particular target of criticism on the left.

In the forward it mentioned how ghost stories and Christmas had always been related in the more Victorian times, as is attested by one of the most famous Christmas stories of all, A Christmas Carol.
Instead of an oddity Dickens' tale was typical of the time. People no longer associate the season with supernatural stories, which is kind of a shame. I have no first hand ghost stories, Christmas or otherwise, but thought this was an interesting post. OI can't wait to see if others have something to contribute.

Gallery: Aritist Molly Dillworth Creates a Tranquil Oasis in Times Squa...
What appears to be a nondescript desert island is actually a painted reproduction of Manhattan based on NASA's infrared satellite data. The 'Hot Island' represents Manhattan, reflecting the heat given off by building density. The waves of blue 'Cool Water' signify the cooler surrounding rural areas of the city. The painting's light shades of blue both reflect and absorb the perfect amount of sunlight to provide a comfortable experience for visitors.
The installation will remain in place until the Times Square revitalization plan commences in 2012.

Breath on your cheek, just beyond your nose; your eyes have nowhere else to look. Brash, bold, although not necessarily courageous. To be in-your-face suggests a certain adolescence, a need to rebel with or without due cause.
Themes represent basic categories of thought, emotion, or value. While our assignment of themes may at times seem arbitrary or whimsical, they serve to link together artists and movements along non- hierarchial pathways. Follow the themes to look for new disciplines that share qualities with those you already like, or to open up new worlds of Art and Culture.
