Discov3ry is a cake decorator that will produce uniform frosted designs on all your cupcakes.
If you love 3D printing but you're tired of making plastic fridge magnets, then a new accessory which shakes up the process could be for you.
"Discov3ry" is a universal extruder which attaches to desktop 3D printers and can be used to create objects with materials such as wood, silicone and even Nutella. Clay, ceramics, conductive paint and icing sugar are also on the list.
The extruder is compatible with all stepper motor-based, fused deposition modelling (FDM) desktop 3D printer systems.
It works by forcing material out of reusable syringes, feeding it through a tube, and then through an extruder tip.
Think of it as a cake decorator with a piping bag – but with robotic deftness and an extremely steady hand.
The device was created by Charles Mire, John Mardlin, and Andrew Finkle of Waterloo, Ontario. as "a reaction to the dearth of usable paste extruders".
"Paste printing is a difficult problem. Many attempts at an affordable paste extruder have been made previously," they write on their Kickstarter page.
"There have been 3D printers specifically designed to print different types of food or silicone. Our product is different, because we're allowing you to make use of the printer you already have at home. One of our major innovations is in separating the 'pastruder' from the print head carriage."
Both stiff and flexible materials can be combined to create more sophisticated designs.
The project has smashed its target on crowdfunding website Kickstarter and initial batches are expected to start shipping this September. – AFP Relaxnews (with additional reporting by JANE F. RAGAVAN/The Star)

Only salads(spinach, romaine lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, broccoli, carrots etc) and fruits like apples, bananas, oranges, grapefruit and berries. Garbanzo beans, edamame or red beans on top of the salad, with a small amount of ranch for dipping... Will you get more energy? end up pooping alot?... Show More
Most Helpful Guy
Well you need to understand that leaving meat, both from land based and sea based beings, out will certainly narrow down your options for those salads, because it's unhealthy to go under 1200 calories in a diet, because it will cause your muscle growth and replenishment to die down causing them to lose that strength and integrity and also cause damage to your internal organs because the human body needs enough fat in it's diet to properly sustain itself in the long run. The loss of protein from the meat is your biggest concern however, since they are one of the most important parts that come with meals. Fortunately for you nuts, seeds, soy products, cereal, eggs and dairy are all good meatless protein choices.
it'll cause muscle atrophy?
- Show Older Hide Older
I'm not questioning if they are healthy or not and I'm not saying you need to eat meat to gain protein, but without adequote amounts of protein your body will seize to function properly.
They barely get protein and they're healthy. I imagine I'll be fine, but if I want exaggerated answers I'll be sure to check back here

A little insight into nanotech investing
Nanotechnology is the science of building things on a miniscule or molecular scale. To make money from nanotechnology, you must look beyond the novelty and figure out how the companies in this area will or won't make money. The Internet investing theme of the 1990s is a good illustration of what can happen. When news of the Internet first came along, some investors bought any stock with an Internet connection. Long before the boom ended, the business of many Internet stocks had already collapsed.

Negev Desert in Uvda
Favorite thing: The southern Negev was designated to be part of the Jewish State in 1947. The name uvda is Hebrew for "fact", referring to the operation's objective to establish de facto Israeli sovereignty over the territory in question, rather than actually conquer it. As such, the Israeli forces did not meet significant resistance on their way. The region claimed during this operations is now referred to as Ovda.
The Uvda Valley is located west of and high above the main Arava Valley road linking the Dead Sea with Eilat.
The ridge of Ma'aleh Shacharut affords a magnificent view of the Arava Valley and across to the mountains of Edom in Jordan where Petra is located at the distance about 60 km from airport Uvda and 25 km from the Route #90 leading to the Dead Sea.
You can watch my high resolution photo of Uvda on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 29° 59' 6.44" N 34° 56' 12.41" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Negev desert.Related to:

Uvda Airport – the gate to Israel
Favorite thing: Ovda (Uvda/Ouvda) is a new airbase built by the United States for Israel according to the agreement which called for the phased withdrawal of all Israeli troops for the Sinai by 1982.
Located north west of Eilat, in the southern Negev region near the Jordanian border, it opened 1981. The facility consists of two parallel runways, 2,600 meters and 3,000 meters long.
Nowadays, the airport also serves as the destination for many commercial flights to Eilat, especially for large planes, although it is still owned by the air force. The airport is expected to cease civilian operations by 2010 when Eilat's new international airport should become operational.
The runway at Ovda also allows long range flights to take off for any European destination without the need to refuel.
You can watch my 4 min 15 sec HD Video Israel Uvda - Dead Sea part 1 out of my Youtube channel with Heaven on their minds out of Jesus Christ Superstar.
You can watch my high resolution photo of Uvda on the Google Earth according to the following coordinates 29° 57' 6.75" N 34° 56' 5.34" E or on my Google Earth Panoramio Airport Uvda - Welcome to Israel!.Related to:

Faces of Israel 21
Favorite thing: One of the things that is great about Israel is the mixture of cultures, with people showing up from all over the world, in my mind it is a great place to raise a child, to teach them that just because a person comes from a different country and culture does not make them a stranger, just a friend you have not met yet. This photo shows my daughter (Now in 2008 is a soldier serving her two year mandatory duty) with two of her friends from her base.Related to:
- Photography
- Family Travel
Faces of Israel 10
Fondest memory: Meet Galit, Tal, Nofar and Danielle. Tal is our 13, now 14 year old daughter and these ares some of her friends from class. They decided to get dressed up and go "shopping". To me it looks like they were going boy shopping !!
Faces of Israel 12
Favorite thing: Meet Tal and her friend Anna....
Anna came to help us paint the house.
Now you know that when you paint you should check to see the color of the paint BEFORE you paint the wall. I did not have a palate to use or anything handy, so I used the closest surface that I could find to "test" the paint.
What do you think?? Color okay ^O^
Faces of Israel 17
Favorite thing: Meet Dr. Eli Zalstien. He is Tals heart doctor and has helped us bring Tal to the age she is in good condition. You sometimes speak of people being "good" doctors, well Dr. Eli is not a good doctor, he is a FANTASTIC doctor, one of those people who takes each patient into his heart. Saying thank you to him for the help he has given and support he has lent is not enough. I think it is enough to say that even when Tal had to undergo heart surgery, she felt comfortable with Dr. Zalstien and that says a lot.
Faces of Israel 16
Favorite thing: Meet David and Inbal.
David is a new immigrant from the US and we have semi adopted him into our family. He spends most of his free time with us and Tal (our daughter) calls him "brother" and introduces him as her brother.
Inbal is Israeli from a family of Yeminite and Dutch parents.
Faces of Israel (4)
Favorite thing: Meet Estar and David.
Now you may ask how you make mixed couples, well here is how it goes. Estar is the daughter of our friends Arie&Laya and David is our adopted son from WUJS. We told David come with us for dinner to Arie & Laya. Nuff said.
Estar is Israeli (of Bulgarian and Turkish roots) and David is American and a new immigrant to Israel.
Faces of Israel (3)
Favorite thing: Meet Hanni and Geza. Hanni is a "Black Hebrew", a group of Jewish Black Americans who believe they are one of the lost tribes of Israel and have moved to Israel. Now Geza is the son of Yossef and Ildico (remember from Hungary).
Faces of Israel (1)
Favorite thing: Could not find a place to put these pictures, but they give you an idea of the "face" of Israel.
First of all, there is US, Zohara an Israeli of Romanian roots, Martin (thats me if you didn't know, an American of Italian roots) and Tal (an Israeli, born in America, with two nationalities on paper, but what is an American/Israeli/Romanian/Italian supposed to be called ??)
Faces of Israel 19
Favorite thing: We tried some "fancy" things and Orlie liked this one of her so I have included it at her request, so here it is Orlie, hope you like it.
Faces of Israel 18
Favorite thing: Meet Tal and her two friends, Orlie and Saphir. They decided to do a "photo shoot" one day and this was one of the photos that we all liked.

September 28th, 2009 2:38 PMTyrosYeah, that's my normal problem with homework. =/ It's not hard, just... Time. XD;
Hey, don't worry about it. n.n I actually decided to close down the thread for a bit... I need time to do other things than chain and clone all day. XD; Besides, even if it was still open, there's no need to feel guilty - I understand school obligations, trust me. n.n;
I've been... Well, bored, to be honest. @__@; I wish I could get out of the house and do my writing elsewhere, like at a library or something - I'd get up early and do it every day, if I could. Lack of a car gives me issues, though. >__>;
I just wish I was back in College, mainly. XD;
- Tyros
September 28th, 2009 2:32 PMGriffinrichWell... Busy. haha
It's not as though any of the school work is difficult per say, it just takes up SO MUCH TIME.
But, it's fine.
I feel a tad guilty for not being able to be here with these orders, but... Nothing I can do. I'll try to check in more frequently.
How've you been??
September 28th, 2009 2:05 PMTyrosXD
First of all! Welcome back, it's great to see you after so long! Sorry about how busy you've been!
Second! Before you get to it, hopefully you get this! XD; Don't worry about the Eevees, I managed to get them done. n.n
And finally! Aside from being super-busy, how've you been?
- Tyros
September 28th, 2009 2:02 PMGriffinrichTyros! I've been so ridiculously busy, you don't even know, but I can whip up a few Eevees right quick.
September 22nd, 2009 9:13 AMTyrosNevermind on those last requests... They decided to go elsewhere. *Nods some*
They came back to ask for 2 Eevees with Wish. They wanted specific natures, too, so... If you have the time, do you think you could set me up with one of those? If not I'll research how to do it myself. n.n;
- Tyros
September 17th, 2009 11:51 AMTyrosHey amigo! Not sure how much time you have, but I just thought I'd let you know that we just got this request for egg moves:
Shiny Vulpix - lvl 1, Female, Timid with egg move Energy Ball.
Venonat - lvl 1, Female, Timid with ability Tinted Lens and egg move Morning Sun.
Poochyena - lvl 1, Female, Adamant with ability Intimidate and egg moves Thunder Fang and Fire Fang.
Now, I know the shininess of the Vulpix isn't really easily doable, so we might be able to knock that off the list. I'm talking to the person who offered about it - if she really must have a shiny, I'll probably end up telling her that I'll either have to try to trade for that combination, or she'll have to look elsewhere.
And, if you don't really have the time for this, then feel free to let me know - I know you're pretty frequently busy. n.n; I'll just tell the client that we can't do the egg moves at the moment. *Nods*
And finally, what've you been up to?
- Tyros
September 7th, 2009 12:32 PMTyrosJeeze. XD Wish I was as mentally amazing as you are. I took an AP Stat class in High School and it proceeded to kick my face in. >__>;
Granted, this was a really messed-up time in my life, so that could've had something to do with it...
But still. XD;
- Tyros
September 7th, 2009 12:25 PMGriffinrichDefinitely in all honors classes, french 3, advanced debate.
Ya know, the whole nine yards.
Not doin much to challenge me.
September 7th, 2009 12:13 PMTyrosWell... At least it's not mind-blastingly hard so far? XD I'd personally prefer dull over stressful.
Er, that is unless you enjoy a challenge in a difficult school setting. That's entirely possible, huh?
- Tyros
September 7th, 2009 12:09 PMGriffinrichI'm in Springfield, Missouri. :p
Parkview high. Sigh..... I sure hope so. Sophmore year = dull so far.
September 7th, 2009 11:52 AMTyrosHaha, that's understandable. XD Everyone's busy now that the school months started. n.n; You'll be missed, amigo! But don't worry, with any luck, I'll still be here after school time. n.n Sounds like you're having a bit of fun lately, though.
I go to school in Savannah, GA, at a place called Armstrong Atlantic State University. *Nods some* I'll be going back to it next semester (I hope. If they get me a room as planned. XD; ) Where're you at?
- Tyros
September 6th, 2009 3:41 PMGriffinrichI'm good!
Busy still, once debate starts I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be on here much at all. Ole well.
Golfin' alot, homeworkin' alot, and bike ridin' alot. Ya know.
Where do you go to school?
September 4th, 2009 10:20 PMTyrosHey man! Sorry about the lack of talking lately. DX I really do enjoy being here, what with all the friends I've made... I'm just a bit too busy. XD; Although, I guess you would understand that, huh? n.n;
Anyway! I'm actually just popping in the say hi. n.n How's it been going?
- Tyros
August 29th, 2009 12:43 PMGriffinrichOh, I don't play!
I was just the first to jump onto the field =]
August 29th, 2009 10:35 AMTyrosOh man, that sounds pretty awesome! Football's not really my thing, but I at least know enough to understand that was quite an achievement. XD Hopefully the boringness of this year is somewhat mitigated by your football year. n.n;

I transitioned my #2 to from a bottle to a cup at 24 months just like I did his older brother. We are on day 2 of now bottle. It worked perfectly the first time. No issues. It took around 3 cups to find the right one for my #1, but this one - we are on our 7th cup!!! He only likes to drink the Motts for Tots Apple Juice from the carton. He's opened the fridge and picked up the milk to ask for it, but once we put it in the cup, he refuses. We've also tried to put water in the juice carton afterwards, but he realizes what it is and doesn't want it either. We've tried sippy cups, cups w/straws, open cups like the Doidy Cup too which he occassionally will drink from. We make sure he sees us pouring in the milk or juice in his cup, but still nothing. Has this happened to anyone else? We've gotten rid of his bottles so I am wondering if he will eventually give in. We're scared of him getting dehydrated as he went from 18-20 oz of milk/day plus 16+ oz of water throughout the day.
Any advice?

ME3: The argument for/against Indoctrination Theory (Spoilers)
So, I finished ME3 last Wednesday, and was, like many of you, a bit underwhelmed and confused about the ending. Even if I didn't think it was terrible enough to justify the ridiculous outrage from fans that I had been hearing about, it did seem to contain a number of inexplicable events that just seemed like errors.
Then I watched this video:
...and everything clicked into place. Indoctrination Theory explained every hole, every error, and seemed so in line with the writing and quality of the rest of the series that it just seemed obvious to me that it was true. However as I looked around the internet for more information, including our own thread on ME3, I found that IT was being generally dismissed, even as it seemed to be the only coherent explanation for the events portrayed by the game.
Since that time I have been wrestling with the idea, sometimes convincing myself, sometimes full of doubt. It's actually become a minor obsession for me, I've read absolutely everything I can on the topic, and have lost sleep poring over every detail in my mind, trying to make it all fit together- and I keep coming back to IT. Only the ending DLC will truly answer the question with a yes or a no, but until that time, I want to use this forum as a sort of 'scratchpad' for all the evidence for/against the veracity of IT. I'll divide the evidence into three categories: Explicit, Implicit and External.
Explicit - This is information from the text that clearly points to Shepard's final experiences in the game being an illusion or hallucination of some kind.
1. The trees in the end sequence: After Shepard is blasted by Harbinger, he awakes in London, but as he walks towards the beam, there are black, ghostly trees around him that were not there before- the same trees that were in his dream sequences with the little boy. If you look into the architecture of the game these trees are even labelled 'dream trees'. This seems to me a clear indicator that Shepard is no longer in 'reality' as it was previously established (in fact, the whole sequence is generally dreamlike- in slow motion like it is in the regular dream sequences, with a wavery filter over everything, your pistol never runs out of ammo, you never need to reload it, you can't access your powers, etc).
2. The wound to Shepard's side: When Shepard shoots Andersen, she shoots him in the lower left flank. Shortly after this, Shepard inspects a wound on her own left flank- she puts a hand to the wound, then brings it away and looks confused by the blood on her fingers. This seems to me a clear indicator that something is surreal or not right about the scenario.
3. The child and the dream sequences: When Shepard first sees the child in the air duct, the child says: "You can't save me." Shepard looks away for a moment, then looks back and the child is gone- at this point a low growl can be heard. From that point on, Shepard encounters the child in a series of dream sequences. During these sequences Shepard sees 'black, oily shadows'- the description the Rachni Queen gave of the experience of being indoctrinated- and hears the voices of both the Reapers and his former dead crewmen. The dreams culminate with Shepard watching himself joining with the boy and then burning alive. This seems to me a clear indicator that Shepard's psyche is under assault, and a warning that joining the boy is the wrong decision.
4. Shepard's eyes: If you choose the Control or Synthesis options in the final sequence, your eyes turn bright blue and your skin flakes away to reveal a black, husk-like corruption underneath. In Mass Effect 1 the villain was Saren, who wanted organic and biological life to join together (synthesis). Saren was indoctrinated and had bright blue eyes as a consequence. In Mass Effect 2 the villain was The Illusive Man, who wanted to control the Reapers (control). The Illusive Man was indoctrinated and had the same bright blue eyes. These seem to me clear indicators that choosing control or synthesis indicated 'giving in' to indoctrination.
5. The breath: If you choose 'destroy' (ie- not giving in to indoctrination) and have a high enough EMS, the last thing you see is Shepard, lying in rubble, taking a sharp intake of breath. This seems to me a clear indicator that choosing destroy breaks Shepard out of indoctrination, and that she never left earth (otherwise she would have died during the destruction of the Citadel).
Implicit - This is information from the text that circumstantially indicates that IT might be true.
1. The musical cues: If you choose control or synthesis, the same musical cue is played- dark music and the blare of a Reaper horn. If you choose destroy, a hopeful piano song is played. Given the importance of music in the game, this subtly points towards IT being true.
2. The 'garden world': This is quite important and oft discussed. In all choices, the Normandy is inexplicably in transit via mass relay when the relays are destroyed. The reason for this is not revealed. The Normandy crash lands in a 'garden paradise', and Joker plus two crewmembers emerge. If you chose Synthesis, EDI is one of them. Otherwise it is your love interest and closest companion, or the squad you were with in the London battle if you had no LI. This makes no sense- why would Joker pick up the people who were just with you on the planet and then flee the system? When asked about this incongruity, the official Mass Effect twitter account said: "Probably a good thing to be cautious of." This seems to me a clue that what you saw is suspect or not real for some reason- most likely because Shepard, in his final moments, wanted to imagine that his closest friends escaped and were safe in paradise.
3. The 'stargazer' epilogue: The last lines in the series are: "Okay, there is time for one more story." This seems to me an indicator that Shepard's story is not finished and that they planned to extend it all along.
4. The black distortion: During your conversation with Andersen and the Illusive Man, black, oily shadows appear at the corners of the screen. The game seems to indicate that this is the Illusive Man attempting to exert some kind of control over you, but there are multiple scenes in the rest of the story that go to some lengths to point out that The Illusive Man thought about but did not install a device for controlling Shepard. When he forces you to shoot Andersen, TIM says: "Look at what they can do!" indicating that you are, in fact, being influenced by indoctrination.
5. The 'hum' on the Normandy: James repeatedly asks: "What's that humming?" and "Do you hear that hum?" during casual conversation on the Normandy. A low-level hum is previously established as one of the early signs of indoctrination. Some have theorized that EDI herself could be the source of the hum, since her new body was appropriated from Reaper tech. This at least seems an indicator that something is amiss.
6. The voice of the Star Child: When talking to the crucible entity, there are three voices- the child's voice, then male Shepard in the right ear and the female Shepard in the left ear. This is an intentional clue that Shepard is literally 'talking to him/herself'- a subtle indicator that s/he is hallucinating. As the starchild encourages Shepard NOT to choose destroy, the voice of Harbinger is subtly overlaid, again indicating that Harbinger is trying to get Shepard to choose the control/synthesis options.
7. Andersen and The Illusive Man: It's really unclear how they got onto the Citadel. Andersen says he 'came up' after you did, but he is in the chamber before you, even though there is only one way in or out. At the start of the endgame sequence, you hear radio chatter saying that 'nobody got in'. It's established that this is part of the Citadel that 'no-one has ever seen before', even though there have been Asari studying the Citadel for thousands of years. The Illusive Man appears from nowhere and appears heavily indoctrinated, his skin corrupted like a husk. These could be subtle indicators that Andersen and the Illusive Man's presence on the Citadel is suspicious.
External - This is information from outside the text (real world information) that circumstantially indicates that IT might be true.
1. Official reaction: Bioware has remained oddly tight-lipped about the entire endgame situation. They have expressly, repeatedly refused to confirm or deny IT. When asked at PAX, they said they wanted to keep it open ended to let people make up their own minds. Mike Gamble said on twitter, only a few days after release: "If the fans knew what was in store, the reaction would be different."
The community manager did let slip on twitter that she believed the endgame to be a hallucination- this tweet was quickly removed and the CM said she would not longer engage with fans in speculation on the ending, because some markets have not yet had a chance to play the game. I feel like she was given a slap on the wrist because they are playing an extremely long game, trying to remain as spoiler-free as possible on the ending. When questioned about IT, the CM said: "I want people to make up their own minds right now, then when more people have played we'll talk "
Even the announcement of the DLC was strangely vague and noncommittal. They did specify that there were 'proud of their artistic choices' (ie- they are not admitting that the errors were bugs or mistakes) and that the dlc would EXTEND the ending, not rewrite it. So unless IT is true, the complaints people have about the ending would remain. This indicates to me that the 'artistic choice' they made was IT.
2. Knights of the Old Republic: This is not the first time Bioware has ended a game with a WTF moment. KotOR ended with a reveal that the villain of the game was YOU. This was meant to be an 'I am your father' moment. I believe they are trying to do a similar cultural watermark moment with ME3 (oft described as the Star Wars of its generation)- only bigger.
3. How games are made: I am a project manager at a company that makes educational games. Games are not written like books. It is facile to say that Bioware simply ran out of time so they rushed the ending. That's not how games are made. When you initiate the project you scope out the entire story FIRST, before anything is made. This is BASIC project management, something I assume Bioware has mastered by now. Yes you do cut corners as deadlines loom, but you don't cut them on the ending, you cut them on things like side missions and dlc and QA. A game isn't made in the order you play it- you don't do the first 95% first and then finish up the last 5% just before publish- especially in a game like ME3 where all your choices tie into each other in such a way that it would have all needed to be intricately mapped out beforehand. Different parts get worked on simultaneously- the ending would have been getting made at the same time as the beginning. In other words: The ending was planned. It is meant to be the way it is. The odd things are bugs or errors or bad writing, they are clues, put there specifically to guide us to the Indoctrination Theory conclusion.
The alternative to this is that Bioware simply screwed up, and since the previous 95% of the game was so good, that's not an alternative that seems logical to me (although I certainly admit it is a possibility).
Anyway, I will add more evidence about IT to this thread as I come across it (there is definitely more out there), but would welcome your input, for or against the theory.
As it stands, I am convinced IT is true and that the ending dlc will bear this out. That said, I am willing to be wrong on this and have frequently questioned myself on the issue, so am happy to hear alternatives to the theory that also explain the odd events in the finale.

Re: ME3: The argument for/against Indoctrination Theory (Spoilers)
As for the dreams themselves, they're not a side-effect of indoctrination. People who are indoctrinated have *waking* hallucinations. You don't have the be a psychologist to interpret the purpose of the dreams. It's Shepard's expression of guilt over all those she couldn't save. That's why if you listen to the background "chatter" you can hear a distorted version of the kid's lines from the opening level ("you can't help me." "everyone's dying!") mixed in with reaper sounds. On top of that you can hear different voices of characters who've died. Obviously this is more obvious if you have a Shepard that lost a lot of people in the suicide mission, otherwise all you're likely to hear is the VS and maybe Mordon or Eve. As for why it's in a park (note: there are benches, so it's not the woods)...I suppose it's an expression of organic civilization, that is to say natural life (ie: trees) but grown within an artificial setting. On the other hand it could be a metaphor for how the reapers cultivate and manage organic civilizations. Either way, these are valid and consistent with Shepard's POV and how her subconsious might be processing reality.
Bottom line though; if the indoctrination theory is true then the game ends with Shepard half dead, buried in rubble while everyone she cares about is being cut to ribbons. It's actually *worse* than what we got since according to this theory, the Reapers won and you get even *less* closure. If they were going to introduce an indoctrination sub-plot (as cool as that might be) they wouldn't do it like *this*.

On the other hand, if Indoc theory is NOT true, what would the ending dlc consist of? Everyone stranded without mass relays, Shepard dead, earth in ruins? Not much story opportunity there, frankly. Loads of story opportunity if Indoc is true- especially since there's so much evidence that that is what they intended. Whether Shep was or wasn't indoctrinated does not necessarily mean that the Reapers won or lost- it just means it's all open for interpretation.
If it's not true, how DID Shepard survive the destruction of the Citadel?

IT is a fan-made theory and has no basis in reality and anyone believing Bioware had intended this is living in cloud cuckoo land.

So what happens exactly in this mythical DLC that confirms the "indoctrination theory"? You wind up back in London and have to go though all that crap again? Only this time it magically makes more sense and gives you the mega-happy ending? If they wanted that then that's what they'd have done *the first time*. It would have been a lot easier and cheaper than what's being proposed.

So how does Shepard survive not one only one explosion at spitting distance, but another explosion still close by that's powerful enough to destroy the Citadel?
And more importantly, how does EMS have anything to do with Shepard surviving the explosions?

If the IT was true then the "real" ending would have been released by now, they wouldn't have allowed the bad publicity to last for another 3 months. Also, Casey Hudson would have been fired for the damage that the stunt has done to Bioware's reputation.
Looking back now I realise that my willingness to believe in the IT was because I was in the first stage of grief; denial. I didn't want to believe that the ending sucked that bad so I clung on to any idea that promised it wasn't so. But after a few days it became clear that it was so, and that denial turned into anger. I'm currently in a holding pattern, waiting to see what the extended ending DLC will bring. I don't think that ME3 will ever have a good ending as it's sticking with the Catalyst and its bullshit, but if they can provide closure for the characters and make me feel like my decisions mattered, I will accept that.

"...Organics undergoing indoctrination may complain of headaches and buzzing or ringing in their ears. As time passes, they have feelings of "being watched" and hallucinations of "ghostly" presences. Ultimately, the Reaper gains the ability to use the victim's body to amplify its signals, manifesting as "alien" voices in the mind."You may also recall the recordings of the Cerberus scientists on the derelict reaper in ME2. Aside from experiencing shared memories, confusion, non-specific feelings of oppression, dread and awe for the reaper we saw at least one of them see things that weren't really there. Oh and just so we're clear on our terminology, an hallucination is by definition a waking phenomenon. It is a sensory perception without an external stimuli. By no definition can it occur while asleep as there is a separate word for that and it's called "dreaming."
Seriously, I don't pretend any of the endings make any kind of logical sense and Shepard surviving long enough to take at least one more breath is the least of the plot-holes.
I suppose you could argue that the area was encased in a powerful kinetic barrier that took the brunt of the damage. I mean something had to be keeping the atmosphere in, no?

Re: ME3: The argument for/against Indoctrination Theory (Spoilers)
The reason we were left wanting more is because we became so involved with the characters and their story- because the writing was so good. IT is just an extension of that. I think the reason people have trouble believing in it is because we're not used to games getting metaphysical on us- even though ME3 not only puts us inside dream sequences earlier in the game, but it also puts us in another artificial environment- the Geth network. That's not 'real', either, but it seems real, and has real-world consequences. I think those sequences were preparing us for the final sequence. I think the clues were being laid down to point us in the right direction. Everything comes together. The only other explanation is gross incompetence, but even that doesn't really make sense.

You're right about there being no ending, though. I think Bioware took a big (huge) risk with this strategy, but I think their thinking was: If you don't want the DLC, you can accept the ending as given. If you do want the DLC, the veil is lifted and the real ending is revealed. Why else would the DLC be called 'The Truth', unless what we have already seen is not the truth?

Hey Chaol where does the philosophers stone(red/white) fit into all of this? Sounds like it will be a contributor the great change in my opinion.
Issius Ulmonus
What is that?
No use explaining here, no one here seems familiar with alchemy. ha ha
Issius Ulmonus
Sometimes we ask questions because defining it for yourself will help to clarify the answer.
Another question, If the left hemisphere of the brain brings the chaos into order through singular perspective, and the right transforming order into chaos through infinite possibility by inter-action. What is the result when the two are in sync?
The Chaol response would be that the left and right do not have pre-assigned roles.
The hemispheres of the brain are more like tints in perspective much the same way that leaves on a tree usually have a top and bottom. The leaves are not fulfilling a role or doing their pre-assigned duty but it's the most efficient way for you to perceive that particular value.
(The more efficient it is the more absolute it seems, I think.)
A singular perspective is never achieved. You could say that what seems to be a singular perspective is comprised of a variety of individual perspectives working together.
Both the right and the left perform the same functions but only one "waiter" delivers your meal, so to speak. It is usually the one that took your order in the beginning, because the taking and delivery are two ways to perceive the same thing.
The two hemispheres of the brain only seem to have separate functionality from the perspective that experiences the separation, the same way that "top" is always on top to you even though (in the big scheme of things, in space for example) top is irrelevant.
So basically both sides do the same job. They are one and the same. But when the left performs a function that you think the right should perform it is perceived in a different way because you have chosen to divide that particular value (physical mind) into easier-to-experience parts.
Alchemy is the art of imitating and accelerating nature. Philosophers Stone is a substance(powder) that transmutes other substances into a their perfect state. There are two versions of the Philosophers Stone, which is the white stone and the red stone. The white(moon;female) transmutes any metals into silver. And the red(sun;male) into gold. The Stone is simply a concentrated and highly developed
form of energy, which is the true nourishment of all things that grow(mineral, plant, animal). It is the universal medicine for the mind, body, and spirit. Unlimited life-energy. I could go on, but I think you get the just.
I will respond about the brain in a second lol

Here we ran out of time and couldnt go any further which was very disappointing as I dont know when i will get the chance to be here again.

You're definitely right about Rex's impact on the series. I guess I considered him minor because he didn't have a whole ton of screen time and then at the end of season 1, BOOM, dead. We really didn't learn much about him aside from the fact that he was a sex freak and that he was more often than not kinda jerkish. Guess we know where Andrew got that trait from, huh? I guess the same could be said for Martha and even Mary Alice since we barely got to know them either, so my observation about Rex being "minor" was kind of off-base.
So yeah, how bout this one: what if they had went through with their early draft idea for season 5 and had killed off Susan? How would THAT have affected the show -- one of the main 4 women dying -- especially the one that was arguably considered "the star" during season one?

When we bought this car seat it was with the intention of having a safe car seat for our 4 year old. Never did we think that one day it would save his life! About 3 weeks after buying this seat, our SUV rolled over. Thankfully our 4 year old was safe in his KidsEmbrace seat. Had he been in his old seat he would not have walked away without a scratch like he did. When I contacted KidsEmbrace, not only did they stress not to use the seat because of the impact but they promptly sent us a brand new one and asked us to send the one that was in the crash to them so they could research it. I recommend anyone who has children in car seats to spend the extra money to buy this. Our kids are worth the extra money.
My son is in love with his "race car" seat. He thinks he is so cool in it and is really comfortable sitting in it. It was so easy to install for me and the Latch connectors made it simple. I would highly recommend this seat.
My son just turned 3 in September and is 40 inches tall and 40 pounds.. The way the the booster sits in my 2007 explorer is perfect.. It has a recline but I didn't have to use it.. His head doesn't fall forward when he falls asleep and this seat has plenty of room to grow..it came almost completely assembled when I got it.. The cup holders are great too..
Very easy to put headrest on, and super easy to install into my Envoy. We just went from a mini van to an Envoy and the other carseat I had just didn't fit well. I got this for the safety standards, being a cool fun seat for my 3yr old is an added plus. He wants to go "bye-bye" in his "racecar" seat all the time. It is easy to adjust and install. I feel safe having him ride in it. I fits great in our Envoy, I wish I had gotten it earlier, the other seat I was using was 10 yrs old. Safety standards state after 7 yrs a carseat needs replaced. I'm going to be traveling alot this summer, it feels good to know he will be safe and as an added bonus cool looking:)
I was really excited about this seat. I liked the side impact protection and that it is a "safe bet" booster seat. After reading about the seat I was expecting my five year old son to be able to use the five point harness just like he does in his Graco seat that harnesses up to 65 lbs. My son is no-where near the height limits for the harness. So I ordered it, when I sat him in it I was so disappointed, his shoulders were above the top slots, so he has to use this as a booster. I will probably go ahead and buy a Britax 85 lb booster, but this was a pretty expensive mistake!
I bought 3 of these in August for my boys I have a 4 year old (42 in tall and weighs about 45lbs), a 3 year old (35 in tall and weighs about 31lbs) and last a 22 month old (30 inches tall and weighs about 28lbs). All three fit perfectly once you adjust the staps. The cup holders are with in great reach and the seats are nice and padded and don't cause the boys to become quickly uncomfortable during long trips. I can not review on the snack cups cause I removed them food is not allowed in my car.
I own a Mazda 5 all the seats fit comfortably in my car the boys have plenty of room. They were uber easy to instal the anchor system works alot like a seat belt. When the seats strap in they are in there, no moving. Same with the 5 point harness the boys sit in, I am able to get them in their seat tightly yet they are still comfortable.
The arms are white, however they seem to be easy to clean with just a little oxyclean, in the washer. I haven't been brave enough to put them in the dryer.
I have owned many many car seats. These are the first ones I have bought that fit all three boys well. I was able to snap the seats securely with ease, as well as fix the straps to fit all three boys with little trouble. The boys love them, I love them. You will not go wrong with this seat.
I am a stickler for safety and chose between this seat and the Britax. I bought two of these; one for my 2 1/2 year old and one for my 12 month old. I, their mother was able to install the car seats easily. They are light to move, and very little to put together. I drive a Acura MDX and they don't take up a ton of room, yet they seem very sturdy and safe. The only thing I would change is the snack cup holder. It comes right out, and with little ones they pull it right out, so there is no way I'll put any type of snack in there! The arms rests ARE WHITE, so I'm expecting those to get a bit dirty...will find out!
Both my son and I love this seat. It is cool enough so that he still feels like a big boy in his new booster but I still have the protection of a car seat. And My son can still easily fall asleep comfortably!
I was so excited to get this carseat you would think I oreded it for me. The expression on my little guys face was priceless. He couldn't wait to hop right in it and go for a ride. The snack cup does not stay in it very well thats why we carry the no spill dish. Plus in our family we are huge Nascar Fans. The seat belt is one of the best seatbelts that a carseat could offer the headrest is sturdy not flimsy and easy to install. The side of the headrests sides don't stick out to far so it gives the advantage for the child to look at the cars beside him. As a mother I Couldn't be more happier with my purchase.
My son said his bottom feels good in this seat. He is eager to get in his car seat now!! He falls asleep on short trips. Cup holders are nice and drinks are secure. Money well spent.
Also my son complains that the center clasp is crushing his privates. We have it maxed out and he's only 46 pounds and 45 inches! I can't see him fitting this in a year. Otherwise nice cup holders and sturdy soft seating with nice head protection. A bit pricy but it's Nascar.
Children love it and so does mom since my boys can stay in the harness longer! My three year old and six year old loves their seats! I don't know what I would do without them and for the price you can't beat it!
Love everything about this carseat especially the way it looks. Its comfortable for my son to sit in he's not slouched over like he was if he sat in my daughter's. He looks like a big boy in this carseat. I would definitely recommend this for anyone looking to buy this for their little one.
This is great! My grandson loves it. Downfall is that the arm rests are white; we know how young kids are with their bottles/Sippy cups......the cover can be washed....thank god!
We had boosters seats for our petite 7 year old and she began complaining about it hurting to sit in it. after we checked it had NO PADDING. So we began looking for a booster with padding and couldn't find one nor could we find a car seat that had more padding. Then we found this one, much, much better. Lots of padding plus extra protection which we love. It holds our most precious cargo, and she LOVES it. We bough two, the dora one (though she is not into dora, it was in the store and she wanted to take one home that day) then we ordered this one online and it came within a couple days. Great product!!!
My son loves his new car seat. He gives him the impression that he is a "Big Boy" and looks as if he is in a CAR, not a car seat. The colors are also excited and inviting. Great Product!
This is a great addition to our van for our 5 year old son who is taller than most 8 yr old boys. A 5 point harness option as well and pads on the side of his head so he doesn't fall over when he goes to sleep in the car! He is in love with it! And, so am I and of course, his Dale Jr fan of grandma does as well!
Hard to buckle my 6 year old grandson in because this is so big and my car is on the smaller size of "mid-sized" but he loves the seat. The 2 cup holders are very convenient and much easier for him to reach than the middle console cup holder which means we can leave the console closed to give more room. If I had a larger car or an SUV this seat would be perfect.
I absolutely adore this car seat!! Its fun and safe for my son. I really like how thick the headrest is.I would definitely recommend this product! !!
My son loves this seat. I like that it has a latch system to anchor to the car better than most boosters and the 5-point harness fits children over 5 years old. The seat is heavy and feels vey solid when installed correctly in the car.

AUGUSTA, GA. (AP) - Jason Day might be headed for another Masters heartbreak.
The Australian, a runner-up at Augusta two years ago, shot a 2-under 70 in the final round Sunday, going to the clubhouse one shot behind co-leaders Adam Scott and Angel Cabrera.
They both have the 18th hole to play.
Day was in the lead until he made bogeys at the 16th and 17th holes.
_ Paul Newberry, www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963
Tiger Woods can start looking ahead to the U.S. Open.
He's gone through another major without making up any ground on Jack Nicklaus.
Woods shot 2-under 70 for the third time in four rounds, not enough to win his fifth green jacket.
He finished at 5-under 283, three strokes off the lead as he went to the clubhouse.
Woods has 14 major titles, four behind Nicklaus' record. Tiger hasn't won a major since the 2008 U.S. Open, the longest drought of his career.

MoDOT Traveler Information
Missouri Department of Transportation
- November 3, 2014
( 936)
The MoDOT Traveler Information app shows current work zones, incidents and weather-related road conditions on state-maintained routes in Missouri. Work zones that may have an impact on travel are loaded automatically. Our customer service center can be reached by calling 1-888-275-6636 (1-888-ASK-MODOT). The app should be only one tool when making a decision on driving conditions. Users should also consult local weather forecasts and law enforcement reports. Weather radar is refreshed every 10 minutes. Only routes with work zones or incidents are displayed in the list report.
On Samsung Try using the back button to get past the warning screen. I have used the web site to check road conditions. This will be handy to have away from home.
Samsung Galaxy S4 - This app started out very buggy, had very long load times, and content was only around 30%&40% updated & usable. Now i have many more options on what I use it for. Love the programed route fine tuning that was done! At least 75%&80% of the options are now up to date and usable, not to mention load WAY faster.......《☆》BUT; for some reason, app won't allow the 'Road Conditions' to turn on. Can't find ANY help/literature about troubleshooting or any help《☆》=>.::*[other than that 'bug', this app runs & provides GREAT updated information, relevant content, & functional personal settings]*::.<=
Samsung galaxy s4 Used to use this app on my electrify m all time time when I was on call for snow removal and now that I have a Samsung this app will not work. No map. No weather. No road conditions. Nothing. Uninstalled...
Galaxy s4 Initial popup warning could use an update to have an agree button, but works extremely well and doesn't ask for unnecessary permissions.
loads map and warning screen the hangs app starts, displays warning screen about not using Mobile device while using motor vehicle. then hangs. not useful.
Handy to have This is very helpful to check road conditions in Missouri, especially when winter weather comes around. Does not take up much phone storage.
What's New
- Updated text displayed for incidents with an indefinite duration.

When: Fri., June 22, 6:30 p.m. 2012
Every great book deserves a film version, especially if the book is about the movies. The 1995 documentary The Celluloid Closet was based on Vito Russo's well-researched book of the same name, depicting how Hollywood portrayed gays and lesbians during much of the 20th century (badly, for the most part). Released five years after Russo's death from AIDS, the film tells a compelling story, but a new documentary, Vito, turns the focus on Russo's personal life as a gay activist. The movie, showing at 6:30 p.m., opens the Kansas City Gay & Lesbian Film Festival at Tivoli Cinemas (4050 Pennsylvania, 913-561-5222). See kcgayfilmfest.com/vito.html for more information.

Candidate Interview ReviewsSort: Popular Date Difficulty
- No OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Kaplan.
Associate Director emailed me to select a slot on their google calendar for an interview. Connected with the AD on Skype. The interview was virtual and lasted an hour. Have been told it is a four step process. I've only completed the first step (interview #1), so far. Interviewer was friendly and explained processes well.
Interview Questions
- What is your management style? Answer Question
- No OfferPositive ExperienceEasy Interview
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan in August 2015.
Took maybe a week to get back to from the first part. You are given problems to choose from, each of which have two parts. You then record yourself teaching the problem you chose, each part for 2 minutes, for a total of 4 minutes. Second part: You sign up for an interview with a current SAT instructor, via Skype/etc. It was pretty relaxed for me, the guy I got was chill and easy to talk with. Third part: You interview with the person who does the hiring. Again, the guy was very nice, polite. Mostly just asked about who I was, why I wanted to work at Kaplan. I wasn't 'able to be offered a position,' but was recommended for tutoring instead. It's a rather lengthy process, unfortunately.
Interview Questions
- What do you know about Kaplan? Answer Question
- How would you deal with a student who is only there because their parents are forcing him/her to attend? Answer Question
- No OfferNegative ExperienceDifficult Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (Denver, CO) in July 2015.
Interview process was in 3 stages as described in other reviews. I passed the audition stage even though I ran out of the time for the second question. Very difficult to teach the prompt in 2 minutes. 2nd stage technical interview felt very strange to me, and the interviewer probably picked up on that. It's difficult to teach to someone over webcam. I had to teach 3 questions, incorporating feedback, in an interactive way and answer other questions like the one below. Most had to do with teaching but not all of them. When teaching the prompts I could tell the interviewer wanted me to be just like him but it was difficult to match his energy level and overall "goofyness." If I had to do it again, I would try to be as cheesy and goofy as possibly, throwing in bad jokes left and right, acting overly enthusiastic when the "student" gives the right answer. For the audition and technical interview, think of it as acting and not teaching and you'll get the job. Not my style, so I didn't get to the 3rd stage.
Interview Questions
- What would you do if you arrived to teach class and the building was locked? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferNeutral ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (New York, NY).
They hire from within first. They are big on referrals from employees. Interview style Casual / Basic. Group interview style. Each person asked a question. They you had to do a demonstration (teach something, convince them on something,etc. ) - you choose the topic.
Interview Questions
- To do a demonstration 1 Answer
Non negotiable. It started at that rate and no wiggle room really.
Helpful (1)Declined OfferNegative ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan (Boston, MA).
I've never experienced a more convoluted and time consuming interview process -- an "audition," followed by a "technical interview," followed by a standard interview. All steps are conducted electronically and by different offices which are seemingly unconnected. Too many people are involved for the process to be cohesive. After all of this, I was finally offered a position, but every class they offered for me to teach was 50 miles or more from the location where I applied, Long story short, apply to the Princeton Review.
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied in-person. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Kaplan (Washington, DC) in April 2015.
They put up posters seeking for individuals interested in taking the GSS/SGS sessions, I sent in my resume and cover letter. I was called for a second interview which I am yet to attend.
Interview Questions
- What are your strengths? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Kaplan in March 2015.
3 step process. 1. Send in an "audition" explaining a simplistic SAT/ACT question. This is sent in along with a resumé and references 2. 1st interview: A more in depth version of the audition. You are asked to explain several test questions and lead the interviewer (acting as a student) through the process. Mostly an evaluation of your teaching ability 3. 2nd Interview: A more technical/formal interview. More personal interview questions ("Why do you want to work for Kaplan? Where do you see yourself in 6 months? etc.). All interviews and Auditions are online through Skype or Google.
Interview Questions
- What would you do if a parent believes that a class is failing their son or daughter who is not seeing score improvements. Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. I interviewed at Kaplan (Bakersfield, CA) in January 2015.
One interview over the phone and one in person interview. Very basic and simple. These folks are looking for someone who will make a lot of calls easy and is a sales person. Think sales interview.
Interview Questions
- How to overcome objections? Answer Question
- Accepted OfferPositive ExperienceAverage Interview
I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Kaplan (Berkeley, CA) in September 2014.
The interview first entailed a 15-minute phone interview. After that, the recruiter requested a 15-minute demo in a live class. I was given a rough idea of what to expect, which was to arrive early enough to receive materials and content from the teacher whose class in which you are performing the demo. The demo was observed by the class teacher and the recruiter.
Interview Questions

I applied through other source. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Kaplan.

When Archos first released the Archos 9 back at the end of 2009, it was billed as the first Windows 7 tablet. But times they are a changing - so Archos has acted so as its tab doesn't fall behind.

My farewell winners and raspberries
David Budworth
Britain's leading graduate employers plan to offer a record number of jobs to final-year undergraduates next year. Recruiters expect to hire 20,300 students to start work in their graduate programmes next summer, an increase of 9.6 per cent on this year's figure. The big increase largely reflects the pace of the economic recovery, as big companies expand their graduate intakes to grow their businesses. This is particularly true of the "big four" accountancy and professional service companies, which for the first time are each planning to hire at least 1,000 graduates in areas such as tax, audit and consulting. The biggest graduate employers include several organisations recruiting into the public sector, such as the civil service fast stream, reflecting the importance attached to bringing in bright graduates even as many Whitehall departments reduce staf
House prices fell by nearly 1 per cent in September from a month earlier, the biggest drop in more than a year, according to new figures from Halifax. The latest house price index from the mortgage lender showed that the average cost of a home in the UK fell by 0.9 per cent to £202,859, a considerable dip from the 2.7 per cent rise reported in August. Halifax said the volatility in monthly changes – August's jump of 2.7 per cent month-on-month followed a drop of 0.4 per cent in July and an increase of 1.6 per cent in June – had impacted on the annual and quarterly change in prices. From a year earlier, house prices increased by 8.6 per cent in three months to September, easing from August's 9 per cent growth. On a quarterly basis, house prices fell from 3 per cent to 2 per cent, its lowest rate of growth since May. However, Halifax said that the strengt
The government is to sell £2 billion worth of shares in Lloyds Banking Group to the public, as it moves one step closer to selling off the last of its stake in the bailed-out bank. The sale will begin next spring, eight years after the bank was rescued with a £20.5 billion bailout during the financial crisis, which left the government holding a 43 per cent stake. George Osborne described the sale as the biggest privatisation that Britain had seen for two decades. "I don't want all those shares to go to City institutions," he said. "I want them to go to members of the public." The announcement from the Treasury came as the chancellor made his speech to the Conservative party conference. Shares will be offered at a discount of 5 per cent to the price at which they are changing hands in the stock market, the Treasury announced. There will be a "loyalty bo

This was a great hit and super easy to make! I did make some changes, though, that I would recommend others do.
This recipe needs salt & pepper, and I added a few dashes of crushed red pepper to mine as well. To feed four adults, I'd recommend doubling the recipe, to make sure there is enough for everyone to get at least two bowls.
I did not mash the potatoes, since we like them in cubes, so I just added the 1/2 cup of milk directly into the pot. I also added a quarter of a stick of cream cheese at the end and let it melt in, which made it really creamy and smooth.
Probably could use some salt & pepper or other spice but overall good texture.
I started this soup not realizing that it was a slow cooker meal, but since I bought the ingredients, I made this on the stove top. The only difference was that I cut the potatoes in small cubes. It accelerated the cook time. I started this soup at 1:30 and it finished at 4:00. Great for a cold football Sunday!
