In a statement, Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said he now agreed that floating LNG could be the quickest way to develop Browse, which contains an estimated 15.5 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. Shell says its floating LNG technology is the fastest and most economic way to develop Browse.
By ROSS KELLY
SYDNEY -- Woodside Petroleum on Tuesday said it has agreed
to look at Royal Dutch Shell's technology for processing natural
gas at sea as a way to develop its Browse resource offshore
Western Australia.
The move comes just a
fortnight after Woodside and partners in the Browse joint
venture, which include Shell, abandoned plans for an $40
billion onshore liquefied natural gas, or LNG, development due
to its high cost.
At that time, Shell said its floating LNG technology was the fastest and most
economic way to develop Browse.
In a statement Tuesday, Woodside CEO Peter Coleman said he
now agreed that floating LNG could be the quickest way to
develop Browse, which contains an estimated 15.5 trillion cubic
feet of natural gas.
All partners will need to approve floating LNG or another
development plan before construction could go ahead. Other
investors in Browse include BP, Mitsubishi and Mitsui.

Engineers and designers are highly skilled individuals. Forcing them to enter design changes using tables, forms and spreadsheets is unproductive and uneconomical, and it increases the likelihood of human error—this is the way that most instrumentation software systems currently work. For too long, software vendors have denied engineers and designers the simple practicality of a graphical visual engineering interface with "drag and drop" capability and inbuilt intelligence, ensuring changes are automatically replicated into all the associated data and databases.

3-sport star does it all for Housatonic
FALLS VILLAGE — It's a vivid memory of a moment that jump-started the football career of Housatonic's Jeremy Stiewing.
Just a freshman, Stiewing was watching the Mountaineers' 2010 season opener against Sport and Medical Sciences Academy when assistant coach Doug Richardson suggested that head coach Deron Bayer put Stiewing in the game late in the second half.
"I was really surprised," recalled Stiewing, who sprinted onto the field.
SMSA was driving down the field and faced a third-down play. Stiewing, playing safety, stepped in front of a receiver and intercepted the pass.
Housatonic-Wamogo went on to win, giving Stiewing not only his first win as a varsity player, but a much-needed boost in confidence.
"It felt really good to be an able to contribute," said Stiewing, a three-sport athlete who also plays small forward in basketball and midfielder in lacrosse.
Over three years, Stiewing has made an impact at Housy in all three sports. Though he is likely to play lacrosse in college, where he is being recruited by Eastern Connecticut and Plymouth State, Stiewing is taking advantage of his final season as a high school athlete.
He couldn't imagine choosing just one or two sports. Bayer loves when athletes choose to play multiple sports, in part because of their cross training and conditioning efforts.
They also are able to keep their competitive edge, something that is essential, especially late in games.
"I'm a firm believer in kids weightlifting in the off-season, but playing multiple
See HOUSY, Page 10B
sports gives them a physical and mental toughness that can go a long way," said Bayer. "In Jeremy's case, because he is a basketball player, he can run and he runs hard. As a lacrosse midfielder, he has the ability to see the whole field. Both of those qualities help him now on the football field."
In the Mountaineers' single-wing offense, Stiewing will be one of the primary runners, along with seniors Steven Kopcho, Kenny Weaver, Tyler Sebben and Chance Oneil. He can also throw the football. And opposing defenses can't forget his speed and quickness as a wide receiver.
Put it altogether, and Stiewing will be an effective two-way performer for the Mountaineers. But Stiewing was quick to point out that Bayer constantly tells his players there is more to football than two ways.
"We have to play all three phases," said Stiewing, referring to his other role as a kicker returner on special teams.
"I haven't had a kick return for a touchdown yet, but hopefully I'll get one this season," said Stiewing. "That would be really exciting to do."
But returning a touchdown off an interception would be Stiewing's ultimate dream play. That's a real possibility, said Mountaineers defensive coordinator Roger Ouellette, the former head coach at Watertown who coached at Immaculate in Danbury last year.
"Jeremy is a very good athlete and he anticipates where the ball is going really well," said Ouellette.
That instinct could lead to a pick-six.

Kentucky's 3 million voters turned out.
Nearly 73 thousand voters have cast absentee ballots.
Kentucky does not practice early voting but some agree it would an effective way to generate even more votes.
"I'm supportive of efforts to open our polls so we don't have barriers to our ballot box and that individuals regardless of whether they have an excuse can make sure they have their voice heard. It's something I'm definitely in favor of and we will be working with our legislators and hopefully you may see some changes,"says Grimes.

I am confused with morphisms of supermanifolds. Take a simple example $f:R^{0|1}\to R^{0|1}$. By (one of) definition, $f$ is a morphism of superalgebras of functions $C(R^{0|1})\to C(R^{0|1})$. Morphisms of superalgebras preserve the grading, I deduced that $f$ have the form $1\mapsto 1, \theta\mapsto x\theta$, i.e. $Hom(R^{0|1}\to R^{0|1})=R^1$ (as a set?). But I read from a paper that $Hom(R^{0|1},R^{0|1})=R^{1|1}$. What is going on? Thanks in advance!
You are right that the set of supermanifold morphisms $Hom(\mathbb R^{0|1},\mathbb R^{0|1})$ to itself is $\mathbb R^1$. However, one can define for supermanifolds $X,Y$ with $\dim X=0|d$ a supermanifold $map(X,Y)$ of morphisms from $X$ to $Y$, by $Hom(Z,map(X,Y))=Hom(Z\times X,Y)$ for all supermanifolds $Z$.
And $map(\mathbb R^{0|1},\mathbb R^{0|1})=\mathbb R^{1|1}$.
@Ma: As an answer to your following question:
Take a look at arXiv:math/0307303, where this question is discussed.
For $d=1$, it is well-known (and due to Kontsevich, I think), that $map(R^{0|1},M)$ is the total space of the odd tangent bundle $\Pi TM$ of $M$.
If $U$ is a superdomain of dimension $p|q$, then $map(R^{0|d},U)=U\times R^{pr+qs|ps+qr}$ where $(r+1)|s=2^{d-1}|2^{d-1}$ is the graded dimension of $\bigwedge R^d$. This you can check using the definition of $map$ and the characterisation of morphisms of supermanifolds as given in Leites.
Another good source on this subject (for $d=1$), is the paper "Differential forms and 0-dimensional supersymmetric field theories" by Hohnhold, Kreck, Stolz and Teichner.

Hi Robert,
I'm working with a group that is creating an intro-student friendly IDE using RText as its base. We've spent quite some time reviewing the source code and are stuck on where any code for RText's toolbar (the buttons across the top - new, open, save, save-all, etc.) is located (classes and interfaces, defaults, icon pngs or jpegs, direct implementation, etc.). If we want to change what shows up in that toolbar when RText is opened, where in the source code should we look?
Many thanks,

A 52-year-old Canadian man was arrested on a federal warrant Friday morning in Lockport Township.
The Department of Homeland Security had an arrest/search warrant for Anthony Albert Sove.
The St. Joseph County Special Response Team executed the warrant just after 7 a.m. at a home in the 57000 block of Haines Road.
Sove had previously been deported after having been convicted of an aggravated felony offense and had illegally returned to the U.S.
An investigation by the Department of Homeland Security led to the Lockport Township home.
Several people were at the home at the time of the search, including Sove, who was arrested without incident and released to agents from the Department of Homeland Security.
Sove was taken to Grand Rapids for a hearing before a federal magistrate.

Georgia Wildlife Resources Division
2070 U.S. Hwy. 278, SE, Social Circle, GA 30025
Hunters should be alert and aware during primitive weapons deer hunting season, Oct. 10-16. Muzzleloaders or 'black powder guns' require specific safety precautions.
"Hunters who use muzzleloading guns during primitive weapons season should know that they have specific safety precautions," says Lt. Judd Smith of the Department of Natural Resources' Wildlife Resources Division. "The user must be completely familiar with all safety requirements regarding the handling, loading and firing of the gun before using it to hunt."
Following are safety recommendations to ensure a safe experience:
· Keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
· Never rely solely on the gun's "safety" mechanism.
· Handle every gun as if it was loaded.
· Do not use alcohol or drugs while handling a firearm.
· Never smoke in the proximity of a muzzleloader.
· Use an intermediate device, such as a measure, to pour powder into a barrel.
· Keep flask and powder containers away from flames and sparks to prevent an accidental explosion.
· Use only powders specific to each muzzleloader and recommended by that firearms manufacturer.
· Place percussion cap on nipple only when ready to shoot.
· The gun is safely unloaded only after removing the bullet, powder and percussion cap. If using a flintlock muzzleloader, remove the bullet and powder, and un-prime the flash pan.
· Use the recommended loading materials, the correct powder charge, the right diameter and weight bullet and the correct lead material.
· Never use plastic (poly) patches. These are different from sabots.
· Treat a misfire as though the gun could fire at any moment.
· Make sure the gun is unloaded before attempting to clean it.
· Make sure the projectile is firmly seated on the powder before capping and firing.
· Never blow down the barrel of a muzzleloader to clear or extinguish sparks.
All hunters, including archers, must wear at least 500 square inches of daylight fluorescent orange above the waist during the primitive weapons season.
For more information on muzzleloader and general firearms safety, contact the nearest Department of Natural Resources Law Enforcement office or call 770-761-3010.

We listen. We try harder.
I am not sure if two 30 detents will be popular. It seems complicated for average users. It is possible though.
Customization is costly and we need to make sure at least 20 customers are interested in a particular set.
We listen. We try harder.
b) Do you find one skip at 5 more than objectionable than two skips for 10 stops
c) If you answered no to (b), is one skip for 12 stops a suitable alternative?
Answer 2 yes: 5, 24, 30 is better
Answer 2 no: 10, 24, 30 is better
Personally I like 5, 24, 30, but if only the 10, 24, 30 option were available I would still buy it.
I tested all my lenses today to see which detent settings would be most useful to me, and the results point to a 5,24,30 or 10,24,30 setup for the D3L. I could make use of stops at 5, 8, 10, 12, 15, 18, 24, and 30 detents. 18-20 stops is useful at 45mm (1.6x), which I don't use often so I could drop that without heartbreak.
While we're talking of advanced rotors.... there's a subset of panographers who use very long focal lengths and have shot to shot rotation needs of < 3 degrees. Since detents that fine are impractical, might you someday build a geared rotor? Gears could be used to get 1/10th degree rotational accuracy. Perhaps one full rotation of a knob could rotate the device one degree. If you restrict the range of motion to substantially less than 360 degrees (maybe 30-40) you could increase the accuracy of the angle readout without making it too huge.
- Eric
From the looks of it the D8 rotator Has the detents on the sides rather than on the bottom. This eliminates the necessary play inherent in a bottom spring loaded plunger setup and allows smooth rotation without any play. As much as I like my NN3 and NN3MKII, the rotator base is still the weak link, as the tension always needs to be played with and there is the play needed to allow rotation. Do I surmise correctly about the D8? Can it replace my MKII base, which after using it extensively for the first time proved no better than its predecessor?
I still love the rest of the setup, and hope the D8 will fix the weak link.
Tim Eastman
Any news on new rotators? D8?
Any updated time frame on availability for the D8?
we will start shipping within 2 weeks.
We listen. We try harder.
the AS clamp will take some more time. I am struggling on what other features to add. The clamp is part of the very big system. I need to nail down the system first. Otherwise there will be too many versions.
We listen. We try harder.
Does the D8 rotator attach to the NN3 rail? I assume it does and the Allan screw holds the rail down? Also, have you eliminated the play inherent in the rotators with the bottom mounted detent mechanism; i.e. the new rotator rotates on a bearing? Very interested.

Hi all,
I'm currently making a game in Java and intend to distribute a map editor to my designers. This map editor will also include the RSyntaxTextArea text editor for JavaScript editing, thus implementing easy scripting to my game through Rhino. I can get the JavaScript language support to work, but this only allows syntax and auto-completion of basic JavaScript operations. I need code-completion of java classes or objects.
1. Is it possible (with the current source-code or little tweaking) to add support for code completion for Java classes within the JavaScript syntax?
2. Is it possible to have code completion for objects only within the Rhino engine context?
Thanks, diby.

ANDERSON, S.C. – After posting back-to-back 8-1 setbacks to Peach Belt Conference opponents Lander and USC Aiken, Anderson University men's tennis returns to its South Atlantic Conference schedule this weekend, beginning with a road matchup with Coker on Saturday, followed by a home match with Tusculum on Sunday.
The Trojans
With AU corralling just two points in its last two matches, the points have come from the middle of its singles lineup. Sophomore Tomas Passalacqua posted a straight-set win over Samuel Poutignat of Lander at the No. 3 position, while classmate Inaki Iriberry claimed a hard-fought 7-6, 6-7, 10-5 victory over USC Aiken's Patrick Stiebinger at the No. 5 spot. The sophomore tandem both carries even 2-2 singles records for the year.
Despite being ranked No. 4 in the fall season by the Intercollegiate Tennis Association, the freshmen doubles team of Juan Carracedo and Mateo Rivas hold a 1-3 record on the young season. The pair's only win came against the Newberry team of Michael Saunders and Vinicius Botelho, 8-4.
With their 1-3 record to begin the season, it equals its 2012 start when the Trojans began the year with three straight setbacks before claiming their first win over Catawba, 9-0. At the conclusion of the 2012 season, AU finished the year 11-8 and 8-1 in SAC play.
The Cobras
Coker was given an upward task to begin the 2014 season, as it squared off with nationally ranked Lander on Feb. 2 and Division I Winthrop on Feb. 9. In the two matches, the Cobras were blanked, falling to the Bearcats, 9-0, and the Eagles, 4-0. Coker had GRU Augusta and USC Aiken on the schedule prior to the AU match, but due to inclement weather, those matches were postponed.
Coker is led by Preseason All-SAC Second Team honoree Andre Stabb, who is projected to play the No. 1 position on Saturday. Joining Stabb with preseason honors is the doubles team of William Marrafao and Martin Moncayo, who joined Carracedo and Rivas on the All-SAC Second Team Doubles list. Despite the rankings, Stabb is 0-2 in singles, while the Marrafao and Moncayo team has dropped both its matches at the No. 2 spot.
In the annual SAC Preseason Coaches' Poll, Coker was projected to finish fifth in the league, as the 2014 season mark its first in the conference after making the transition from Conference Carolinas. The Cobras finished a point behind the Trojans in the poll, but picked up two first-place votes.
The Series vs. Coker
Last season marked the first time in over three seasons Anderson faced Coker, as the Cobras spoiled AU's home opener, capturing a 6-3 win. Not a single Trojan on the current roster has a victory over a Coker opponent during the spring season.
The Pioneers
Tusculum began the 2014 season with a loss to PBC opponent North Georgia before capturing its first win of the seas over King, 6-3, on Tuesday. Prior to the start of the year, Tusculum was projected second in the conference, coming off a season when it split the regular season championship with Anderson as both teams had identical 8-1 conference records. The Pioneers closed the 2013 regular season with 12 straight victories before falling to Wingate in the SAC semifinals.
In the annual poll, the Pioneers earned 99 points, eight points behind conference favorite, Wingate. Despite the second-place position, TC earned three first-place votes, the second-most in the SAC behind the Bulldogs with five.
Three of Tusculum's six starters were honored in the Preseason All-SAC teams, as Lukas and Jonas Winkelmann earned first-team singles honors, joining teammate Nicolas Planchard. With the three Pioneers on the team, the trio earned three of the six positions on the team. Lukas Winkelmann and Planchard were honored in doubles, being named to the first-team doubles squad. Jonas Winklemann was joined by John Talyor on the second-team doubles squad.
The Series vs. Tusculum
Despite the heated battles between the teams over the years, AU has captured all three regular season contests against the Pioneers since Anderson joined the SAC before the 2011 season, including a key 5-4 win in Greeneville a season ago.

Is there any data showing that Pathfinder is selling better than 4th Edition D&D? Also, is there any data showing if and when that might happen?

The short form is that no one has access to the numbers really needed to prove that beyond the shadow of a doubt. There are two bits of data we do have to indicate relative sales, both of which are flawed.
Over time, you can follow the ICv2 and Amazon numbers for what they're worth, both are updated over time so this should be as valid a methodology in the future.
Neither WotC nor Paizo have been forthcoming with any sales data that would nail any of this down (some game publishers do release this info, but neither one of them does).
In the end, it shouldn't matter that much. It is nice for Pathfinder fans to see that their game isn't a fringe game but is rivaling the largest in the business, it provides reasonable expectation of continued viability.

Hi! Welcome to the Internet, where everything that can be used for sexual purposes is and already has been exploited by our genitals. To a horrifying extent. But the same thing happens in reverse: Lots of products you thought were the exclusive domain of your down-there areas are in fact used in some surprisingly practical ways. So next time you're admiring the toy collection in your sex dungeon, take a minute to remember that ...
#5. K-Y Jelly Makes Movie Magic
You're on a movie set and the director hands you a bottle of lube, ordering you to slather it all over that terrifying latex-coated monster in the corner. No, you're not some sort of indentured porn-slave -- those days are behind you. Now you're just making a horror movie.
Mikey Baratta
No, not a "horror movie." An actual horror movie.
Wait, What?
K-Y Jelly, your grandmother's favorite lube, is a standard tool for movie special effects.
Alien had a lot of subtle and not-so-subtle sexual imagery laced throughout, but one piece of sex paraphernalia you probably didn't notice was the veritable ocean of K-Y Jelly it took to make the film. According to cast and crew in the making-of documentary, everything from puppets to people was absolutely covered in a thick, dripping layer of bone-lube. If you were scared of Xenomorphs as a child, you might be relieved to learn that their disgusting toxic spit was merely the result of some special effects guy dumping the entire contents of a tube of K-Y into its mouth. You may actually be less than relieved to hear that, now that we think about it.
20th Century Fox
In space, no one can hear you cream.
But it wasn't just Alien. Remember the glowing neon-green blood from the Predator franchise? That wasn't a post-production effect -- Predator blood is a simple combination of K-Y Jelly and the liquid in glow sticks. The glow faded fast, so they kept cases of K-Y on hand to keep that movie magic rolling. And in John Carpenter's The Thing, virtually every monster was slathered in K-Y, giving the film its unsettlingly wet look. If something in a movie is gooey, slimy, and terrifying, it's probably K-Y. Hey look, K-Y -- a new tagline for your commercials! You can thank us later. Via cash.
K-Y is also an essential product in the makeup artist's kit, since it makes fake wounds look fresh and removes expensive latex prosthetics without damaging them.
New Line Cinema
Or the things they're attached to.
K-Y is so ubiquitous on movie sets that it's even used when common sense would dictate otherwise. Near the end of Titanic, Kate Winslet's character spits in her evil fiance's face. They went through so many takes that Winslet's mouth dried out, and rather than just give her a bottle of water, they put K-Y on her tongue and had her spit that all over those perfectly arched, villainous eyebrows instead.
If spitting sex lube onto Billy Zane was not already a bizarre niche fetish, it sure as hell is now.
#4. Spermicide Your Way to a Clearer Complexion
You've got a big date tonight, so obviously you bring along protection. But right as you're about to head out the door, a quick mirror check reveals an unsightly pimple ruining the work of art that is normally your face. You sigh, reach into your wallet, tear open the wrapper, and start rubbing your condom all over your forehead.
Stefano Buldrini/Photos.com
Just the forehead. Self-suffocation is not the answer.
Wait, What?
There are a few stipulations to the above:
1) It should be a lubed condom,
2) That lube should contain a spermicide, and
3) You must have purchased it outside the U.S.
But if those conditions are met, then yes, spermicide can help clear up acne. Benzalkonium chloride (or alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride, when its mom is angry), is used in acne treatments like Neutrogena and OXY. It's also one of the world's most popular spermicides. Although benzalkonium chloride is no longer sold as a spermicide in the U.S., it is still used for that function in many other countries, including France, Russia, and Hong Kong. That explains why, in 2008, Cambodian women started rubbing lube on their faces as a cure for acne. Well, either that or they were dressing up as the Predator for Halloween.
We'd explain how they made this fabulous discovery, but you can figure it out.
Incidentally, alkyldimethylbenzylammonium chloride is also the active ingredient in many Lysol products, which, as you may recall from a previous article, started life as a douching agent and was a (perhaps unwisely) preferred form of birth control from the 1920s to 1950s. And you thought the days of squirting oven cleaner up your crotch were over, ladies!
#3. Vibrators Cure Constipated Tortoises
It finally happened: Your mother, poking around in your closet, has discovered your collection of gold-plated vibrators. It happens to the best of us, and only the best of us. Before she can get a word in edgewise, you cry out: "No, you misunderstand! They're not for me -- they're for my constipated tortoise!" And in a sense, you are telling the truth. (In another sense, you're totally not, though.)
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
Literally everything can be a euphemism for sexual frustration.
Wait, What?
Let's get real for a moment: Pooping is awesome. At least in the sense that not being able to poop is not awesome. And yet it is a common situation for tortoises, who often wind up snacking on the detritus at the bottom of their tanks. That means a lot of small, indigestible pebbles. If enough rocks are consumed in a short amount of time, they get stuck in the intestinal tract. It's called rockbiter's colon syndrome, or at least it would be, if stupid science would ever read our emails. For a long time, surgery was the prescribed treatment for such blockages, but in 2011, vets at a London animal hospital came up with a different solution. Instead of cutting the animal up, they improvised a non-invasive treatment: taping a vibrator onto the tortoise's stomach.
Animal Protection Agency
It wanted to take things slow.
The idea is that the vibrator's reverberations help break up the particulate that forms inside these unfortunate critters. Massaging constipation away isn't an unheard of idea -- abdominal massage is used on humans to reduce pain from chronic constipation -- but because of the tortoise's hard belly shell, that kind of massage was impossible. So vets strapped on a strap on, and presumably started placing bets as dozens of tortoises vibrated about the lab like air hockey pucks.

Quite often I find with the dilemma of building something that would take only about 10 hours to build, and maybe 30 hours to perfect. Most simple things like this have already been built elsewhere, it just takes time to find them, but there's no real guarantee that they exist. And even if they do exist, it takes maybe around 1-5 hours to realize that they're not really what I'm looking for.
A common example here is looking for a productivity app, when it's quite simple to just code one yourself. Or searching and sifting through questions before asking.
So, my question is, what is a good ratio of time saved to time spent?
I personally try to stick to around 10% of time searching for something, compared to building it. Like if I expect something to take 30 days to build, I'd spend around 3 days looking to see if it's already been done, before I give up and just work on it.

No worries, this fellow Mormon would gladly stand with Beck and be identified with him anytime. Sorry you feel the opposite way but that's the beauty of free agency. I for one honestly wish there were a million more people like Glenn Beck in the Church. It's amazing the hypocrisy of many who posts on these forums to bash, ridicule, and accuse him of being divisive and a hatemonger while at the same time spewed out their own hate and vitriol against him.

Unfortunately, most of the people who condemn Glenn don't actually listen to
him. If they did, they'd know that their comments are way off base. What they
do is listen to his far-left detractors who feel threatened by him.
I don't know of any members of the Church who take what Glenn Beck says over what the General Authorities say. I also don't know of anything Glenn has said that is in contradiction to what the General Authorities say.
The Lord has said, "if you are not one, you are not mine." As members of the Church, what we need to do is be supporting each other and not attacking each other. That is the Christ-like thing to do.

I'm surprised at the inaccuracy in #4. Reed Smoot was NOT the first Mormon in
the U.S. Senate. In fact, Utah's first Senator, Frank J. Cannon, son of George
Q. Cannon of the First Presidency, was.
I don't know for sure how active Cannon was in 1896. But it was only later that he actually left the Church, apparently in part because he couldn't manage to get re-elected by the State legislature (which elected Senators at the time and was very subject to the suggestions of the First Presidency).
Please, get your facts right. Smoot was NOT the first.

This is perhaps the Best Article on this site that i have ever seen.

I am not talking about the Articles Themselfs just the Covers. Articles being somewhat a different subject.
I love the Covers of Smoot, Smith and Benson. I loved Ike. I was a child, I Loved Ike. I thought his Wife was cool also a Nice motherly Type.
These men did their Jobs and Retained There Mormonism unlike some people of today. Romneys Father/Grandfather signed Dec 2. His father was a business man and Gov. Mitt is a fine Business Man but somewhat less in other areas.
Of course the First Vision need to be number one always, with out that there is No Point for any of the Rest Of It.
Beck is a Convert and has the Zeal Of Conversion and the gift of Conversation, of late mostly about himself.
However it does not take you 10 years of working with him to know he is Mormon, unlike some people that are Active mormons on Sunday in Church.
If the Anti Mormon Police came to your house. Would there be enough evidence to convict you.

Read Ether chapter 8 and pay very close attention to the words contributed directly by Moroni. He is speaking specifically to you and I, warning us. Pay particular attention to the words "when you come to the realization of your awful situation. . ." Moroni really knew what the words "awful situation" meant. So what awful situation do you think he is warning us about? Glen Beck tells us everyday. And some are foolish enough to call his words hate. I don't think that Moroni would. We are currently living in the day that Moroni spoke of and it is time we came to that realization.

Don't hold your breath. He won't. If he does, it will be to spout another litany dredged up elsewhere of the lies, or not quite accurate ad libs (either one works for their cause) that are purported to be present in Beck's explanations, points and exhortations.
While a portion of the LDS community think that Orderville can be brought about by government intervention, and that Lennon's "Imagine" world can be brought about by emoting about charity, peace, and throwing money as an assist at people who don't want or are too enslaved by other things to know how to leverage help, they themselves would have government do the dirty and mundane work at home or in the community, in the form of payments of everyone's money.
Utopia is not going to come about by hands of men or government; charity does have any impact when laundered sterile and funneled through wasteful govt programs, and peace does not come about by treaty, conciliation, and by wringing hands. Meekness is not concessions to the rabid wrong. Charity begins at home and only from home and personal involvement and service is peace and perspective happening.

I am amazed at how many people--especially in the Mormon heartland--buy into, repeat and (worst of all) forward--messages by Beck as if they remarkable. Do a fact chase on many of his threads and you have to be an Olympic long-jumper to keep up with his many leaps in logic. In most places I have lived, LDS and non-LDS alike see him as a sideshow--and I believe the silent majority wish he would quiet down. Just like the far left, he is not helping the US (or the church) with most of his comments.

I doubt this will get through, although it doesn't violate any rules.
I encourage everybody to go to each of the articles and actually read them (they are not hard to find). For example, do you want to know where your tithing money goes? #6 entitled "Mormons Inc" (not "The Salt Lake City Temple") explains it pretty well.
Glenn Beck's article is entitled "Mad Man" (not "Glenn Beck Media Mogul") and is not complimentary. It discusses how he preys on the fears of the uninformed.

You are indeed correct. The DN has officially, clearly outside of the following rules, determined that using the commonly applied term for those who reside in the state and nation without proper and legal documentation permitting them to do so, is a racial slur or insensitive to feelings. I have never mentioned racial, national, or geographical direction from which they come, their criminal background, their religious affiliation or standing, or their abuse of our laws and social safety-net or infrastructure. Yet, sadly, my comments that mention this widespread problem are considered racist and might hurt somebody's feelings. Waaaaah.
I have never submitted anything containing any of the following, but using that term to describe border jumpers is not-allowed and will not appear in any allowed comments.
Their rules, which I have yet to violate, but which have been used in censoring my contribution, are as follows:
Comment included name-calling, epithets, racial slurs or personal attacks.
* Comment contained obscenity, vulgarity and/or profanity.
* Comment contained over-use of punctuation.
* Comment was intended to provoke or inappropriately addressed other readers by name.
Still, they censor anything with that term for what they essentially are.

I'm interested in Glenn Beck's "outrageous conspiracy theories." Usually I hear him talk against conspiracy theories. I'm guessing that some readers are upset by Beck's efforts to bring attention to the past statements, beliefs and associations of members of the Obama administration. Some listeners might be offended that Beck pointed out publicized Anita Dunn's statement that Mao was one of her two favorite political philosophers. Or that Obama sat in the church of a minister who spouts hatred of whites and damns the United States. Some people don't like to be reminded that Obama appointed an avowed communist, Van Jones. Maybe they didn't like it when Beck pointed out that the Washington Post reported Obama's staff calling Franklin Raines for advice. The same Raines who took millions from Fannie Mae. Perhaps Beck was wrong when he concluded that if a man surrounds himself with socialists and communists, he might share beliefs. Perhaps Beck is wrong when he concludes that Obama favors wealth redistribution based on Obama's own quotes. But I doubt it.

Van Jones WAS, not is an avowed Communist just like Glenn Beck abused alcohol

was a criminal who spent time in prison. What kind of person lies about another
person with the end result the person ends up resigning his job so as not to be
a distraction?
An honest person hears the rumor, checks out the rumor BEFORE repeating the rumor over and over for weeks. How long does it take to call the governor of Louisiana or FEMA? How long does it take to fly from NY to LA to debunk the rumor?

I think the answer must be very simple, but I still don't know it. I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 in my Windows 7 laptop. After installing Ubuntu and started using it I decided to restart my laptop. But when I turned it on again,it still asks me if I want to use Windows 7 or Ubuntu. How can I get rid of Windows 7 so as to start directly from Ubuntu the next time I turn my computer on? Thanks!
How to Install Ubuntu Only
I recommend that you keep both systems available instead of removing Windows altogether. If you want to do that instead, here are the steps involved:
How to Install Ubuntu And Keep Windows out of the Way
Additional Notes
I previously had difficulty installing Ubuntu in the above manner on drives set up with RAID 0. It may be possible to do so, but I had to remove Windows and disable RAID. If you have similar trouble, look at the following links for assistance.
If you have decided to stick with use Ubuntu only and remove windows from the laptop then the best thing to do is to use backup to backup your home directory (default) somewhere or to ubuntuone (default) and reinstall this time selecting the option to use all disk space.
That is what I would do. Now, there maybe a way to use gparted to remove and expand partitions and modify the grub entry but I don't know how to do that. Someone else maybe able to help with this.
Since you have done a wubi install, you need first convert your Ubuntu to a regular install and then delete Windows.
Please refer to this artice to convert your Wubi install to a regular install.
Now, that you have a regular Ubuntu Install, just log into Ubuntu and format the Windows Partition and modify your GRUB.
Yeah, it's easy. Format your Windows partition with a freeware called partition wizard then delete the Windows and modify your Grub. Hope this can help you.
You can format the windows partition and edit your grub to delete the windows startup lines. Try to find a grub editing tool on the Ubuntu Software Center :) See it's easy :)

The 'Longman Student Grammar of Spoken and Written English' (LSGSWE) explains it thus:
The is not normally found after words like elected (and re-elected) which show that someone has been appointed to an office. The LSGSWE's own example is 'Lukman was re-elected OPEC President in June.' In other cases, however, it's optional. The LSGSWE's second example is: 'Simon Burns is the chairman of the appeal board.' That could equally well appear as 'Simon Burns is chairman . . .'

Stoke City F.C. with P2P4U Net
The Stoke City Football Club can trace its roots all the way back to 1863 and the foundation of the Stoke Ramblers Football Club, making it the oldest club to play in the premier league and the second oldest club in professional English football. In 1878, after a merger with another club, the Stoke Ramblers became the Stoke Football Club; they would keep this name until 928 when the club was renamed the Stoke City Football Club after its home town, Stoke-on-Trent, was granted city status. Although Stoke City F.C. is the oldest club to play in the premier league Stoke City is actually a relatively new addition to English football's top flight of competition, having joined the Premier league only in 2008 after wining promotion up from the second tier. Before their promotion in 2008 P2P4U has discovered that Stoke City did not participate in the top tier of English football for over two decades.
The most commonly used nickname for Stoke City F.C. is "The Potters," which is a reference to the thriving potter industry that was once a significant part of the Stoke-on-Trent economy.
The current home ground of Stoke City is known as Britannia Stadium and has been used by the Potters since it was completed in 1997. Although Britannia Stadium is still rather new in comparison to a lot of the English football stadiums out there, it still only has the capacity to hold a little over 27,500 fans, almost 15,000 less than most other new stadiums. Before Britannia Stadium was completed in 1997 Stoke City played their home matches at Victoria Ground, which had been their home stadium since 1878.
The home colors for Stoke City are red and white and their home kit includes a red shirt with white vertical stripes and red shorts with white lining. In comparison, their away kit uses the same design as the home kit but substitutes red for black and white for blue. The Stoke City crest also used these colors on a shield shaped design that features the club name and the year the club was founded positioned over a blue banner that portrays the club's nickname in white letters.
Although Stoke City F.C. enjoys loyal support from its fan base that routinely sell out home matches at Britannia Stadium the club is also known for having a rather aggressive fan base that has participated in football hooliganism from time to time. The Naughty Forty Firm which is linked to Stoke city is especially known for engaging in a bit of extracurricular activities before and after matches, often drawing the ire of local authorities. These days Stoke City has a much better reputation though things can still get a bit rowdy when you try to watch football at Britannia Stadium.
Stoke City's main rival is the Port Vale Football Club which is also based in the Stoke-on-Trent area. This rivalry has not developed into the intense competition seen in other local rivalries throughout England because the two teams have often been members of different divisions, meaning they only meet on occasion. When these two teams come together it is known as the Potters Derby, a matchup that P2P4U net notes has only occurred 46 times overall.
John Ritchie is the all-time goal scorer for Stoke City F.C. with 171 goals for the club throughout his career. The all-time appearance record for Stoke City is held by Eric Skeels who appeared in 592 games with Stoke City from 1959 to 1976. Stoke City is currently managed by Tony Pulis who has been with the club since 2006. Pulis is the first manager to lead Stoke City Football Club to the F.A. Cup final though they ended up losing to Manchester City. The highest that Stoke City has finished in the top division of English football is fourth, though that was way back during the 1935-36 season. Although Stoke City has been around longer than almost every English football club in existence today it still has relatively few honors to brag about aside from winning the Football league Cup Final in 1972. In 2011 Stoke City is competing in Europe for what P2P4U has discovered is only their third such appearance.Tags: p2p4u, p2p4u net, p2p4u net stoke city, stoke city p2p4u

NYCB Spring Season 2011
Posted 06 May 2011 - 12:48 PM
I enjoyed the performances of Scheller and Peck. However, I think Hyltin is miscast. Her performance didn't have the lyricism or musicality required for the lead muse, in my opinion.
I enjoyed the 4T's, especially Somogyi/Angle and Reichlin. Garcia did Melancholic, but he doesn't have enough upper body flexibility to do the role justice.
I was also present at the Tues May 3 performance. I feel that M. Fairchild is somewhat bland in Square Dance. Huxley gave a very fine performance in the male solo.
The performances that Wendy Whelan used to give in Agon were thrilling, especially with Jock Soto. Unfortunately, Wendy seemed a bit unfocused on Tuesday. Her timing was off in certain points, and she doesn't have the same level of flexibility as she used to.
Kowrowski did fine work in Stravinsky Violin Concerto in Aria I. However, I didn't think Ramasar was a particularly effective partner for her. Hyltin did Aria II with Ask LaCour. I've seen her in this ballet before, and thought she had greater rapport with R. Fairchild.

I too was at the May 3 performance and, sadly, share your view that Wendy Whelan is not as flexible as she once was. I had already noticed this in a few of her performances last year and I fear the twilight of her career now may not be unimaginable.
On a more positive note, I am excited to hear that Chase Finlay's Apollo was a great success and I am champing at the bit for tomorrow's matinee. Perhaps devotees of the unabridged version of Apollo might smile at the thought of a young dancer making this work his breakout role.
Posted 06 May 2011 - 07:51 PM
The boy's a charmer with the audience, especially the females, in almost a teen idol way. Justin Bieber in tights we could do without. The role of Apollo deserves better.
Had hoped to see Robbie Fairchild, because there I could expect something magical to happen. Hope Robbie is recovering well, and I see he is slated to return later this month by way of the casting notice.
Posted 07 May 2011 - 05:27 AM
These are the works that made me fall in love with ballet. It's thrilling to see so many great works presented in rep over a week. No other company in the world would (or could) attempt this.
It was a pleasure to read Alistair Macaulay, in Thursday and today's NY Times, especially when he writes --
The company, rising to the challenges of Balanchine Black and White Week, ... is largely in fine form General aspects of the Balanchine style -- dancing off balance, opposing stretched-open positions with tightly closed ones, arriving with the beat rather than following it -- have become steadily clearer in recent years.
[ ... ]
The pleasures of the season's first three nights have already been more considerable than several entire seasons. Six weeks of crowded repertory lie ahead.
I find myself relying on Ballet Alert members to confirm (or not) what NYC reviewers write. So, how is the Company doing so far, overall? How are audiences responding?
Posted 07 May 2011 - 03:09 PM
I thought Apollo had a freshness that I hadn't seen in years. Finlay, Hyltin, Peck & Scheller were the cast. They brought meaning to the piece in the way they related to each other, phrased the music and covered space. The Muses, feet parallel, doing traveling releves, covered so much space that it added the excitement that the music warranted. Finlay has the making of a great Apollo. I hope to see him have more weight in some of his movements in terms or being into the floor if you know what I mean. Also some added focus and sharpness would be nice. I look forward to future performances. I loved the section with just Peck & Scheller. They looked great together. Their variations were very well done. Peck's Polyhymnia variation has that pique turn into arabesque that often has a dancer hopping and fudging - Peck really did it - nailed it twice and a minor fix the third time. I've never seen it better. I liked Hyltin. I think she brought a sly humor to her characterization that worked for me in the pas de deux.
Agon was last on the program Teresa Reichlen in the 2nd pas & Bransle Gay was just terrific - very in control and witty. I love the expansiveness of her arabesque line. Ashleyy Laracy stood out for me in Gailliard. She never holds back, so her movements look big and joyous. Wendy Whelan looked OK in the pas. I've been watching her do it for years - it's been better, but she gets the job done. Does anyone else in the company do it? I've only seen her for quite a while. I was not familiar with Daniel Applebaum, but he made an excellent showing in Agon. Ramasar is a dancer I always enjoy. He has a fluid movement quality and ease on stage that I find very attractive.
All three pieces looked very well coached and rehearsed. It was a great afternoon at the ballet. I wish I could see it all again - same cast, same ballets!

Chase Finlay was even better today than on Thursday. He looked more relaxed and confident. Also, Whelan's performance today was much improved compared to opening night. I had never seen Bouder dance Square Dance. She was terrific. To answer Vipa's question, the only other ballerina that currently does the main pas in Agon is Kowrowski. I would love to see Reichlin do it some day.
Thank you for the answer abatt. I too would love to see Reichlin in it.

I'd love to hear your impressions about the programming concept Balanchine Black and White Week -- and, of course, its execution.
These are the works that made me fall in love with ballet. It's thrilling to see so many great works presented in rep over a week. No other company in the world would (or could) attempt this.
[ ... ]
This week has offered the kind of programming fans on this site regularly have clamored for (especially in years past) -- often complaining about Martins' (at least claimed) lack of attention to the Balanchine heritage; nor has the casting been lacking with regard to the company's most talented dancers. I, too, would very much enjoy hearing more about the performances and, insofar as one can tell, if the programming is indeed attracting audiences.

As the orchestra played the opening four notes of the music, the announcement as I call it, I put my hand to my heart. To hear that music again, that signature Balanchine theme! The opening of another season at NYC Ballet, and reason to rejoice and be thankful.
Posted 09 May 2011 - 12:18 PM
Program & casting:
CONCERTO BAROCCO: Kowroski, Mearns, Askegard [Conductor: Sill]
MONUMENTUM PRO GESUALDO: Reichlen, la Cour [Conductor: Sill]
MOVEMENTS FOR PIANO AND ORCHESTRA: *Reichlen, Marcovici [Conductor: Sill, Solo piano: Moverman]
DUO CONCERTANT: M. Fairchild, Finlay [Solo violin: Hong, Solo piano: Grant]
SYMPHONY IN THREE MOVEMENTS: A. Stafford, Hyltin, LeCrone, Ramasar, Hendrickson, Scordato [Conductor: Otranto]
Concerto Barocco:
1. The company seems to be having a hard time finding an apt ballerina pairing for this work. Back to the drawing board, folks -- Kowroski + Mearns just doesn't work. They're radically different in style in a way that isn't complementary. Mearns' volcanic 2nd violin made Kowroski's polite1st violin look puny. ( And I'm absolutely shocked to find myself writing "Kowroski" and "puny" in the same sentence!) Asking anyone to dance 1st violin opposite Mearns a 1st violin if there ever was one is probably unfair.
2. Two gentlemen from the orchestra's second violin section -- Cyrus Beroukhim and Kyu Young Kim -- were the featured soloists. They sounded lovely together.
3. Three latecomers decided to seat themselves in the row of armchairs at the back of the first ring and proceeded to scrape them noisily across the bare cement floor to get them pulled into position for what seemed like an eternity. If I'd had a weapon I would have been sorely tempted to use it.
Monumentum / Movements:
1. Reichlen's my favorite in "Monumentum" to my eye nobody looks more gloriously serene in the role especially in those climactic lifts and tosses. Well, she looked great in her "Movements" debut, too. She was cool without being remote and her attack had just the right amount of bite to show us the angles without hitting us over the head with them. (The audience actually chuckled with surprise at a couple of pointssomething I don't recall hearing before.) "Monumentum" and "Movements" are good roles for la Cour and Marcovici, respectively.
Duo Concertant:
1. First off, can I just say "thank-you" to the NYCB powers-that-be for casting Megan Fairchild with a partner who's genuinely taller than she is? She always looks scrunched down when she's paired with De Luz; she looked six inches taller dancing with Finlay. (As she does when she dances with Veyette.)
2. Secondly, seeing this ballet performed by dancers who are many years away from the twilights of their careers is a revelation. Honest to god, I thought Fairchild was throwing in some extra steps just for the hell of it, and she still had time to kill.
3. I don't think I've ever seen Fairchild dance with such razor-sharp attack. Her allegro is never less than quick and clean but yesterday it was like she was throwing ninja stars at us.
4. The age difference between Fairchild and Finlay isn't vast, but there's just enough of one to put one in mind of "Der Rosenkavelier's" Marschallin and Octavian I liked it and thought it made the sentimental gimmickry of the ending almost work. (I loathe that lighting effect almost as much as I loathe those mimed angel's wings in "Serenade.")
5. Finlay. Hmmm. The company sure is giving him the hard sell. (Oh, Slant, I wish you hadn't mentioned Justin Bieber!) I know I'm the odd one out here, but think his dancing is interesting more for its promise than for what it is in the here-and-now. Don't get me wrong he's definitely principal material, and is already remarkably self-possessed on stage, but he doesn't yet dance with a fully-fledged principal's imagination and authority. If Martins wanted to cast this role from the corps for the sake of youth and freshness, I can think of several young men I'd equally have liked to have seen in it.
Symphony in Three Movements.
1. This work seems to be in heavy rotation with "I'm Old Fashioned" as the company's go-to closer. It may be time to rest it for a couple of seasons. (Do they ever put "I'm Old Fashioned" away?)
2. Good cast, overall. It was nice to see Ramasar back in the central pas de deux. (The last time I saw him do it he partnered Somogyi. I loved their delightful flower-power, summer-of-love reading of the duet.) Nice to see Adam Hendrickson again, too. Megan LeCrone and Andrew Scordato looked terrific together; more of them both, please.
3. The corps nailed that unfurling chain of rippling movement down their long diagonal at the close of the first movement. Bravi!

Asking anyone to dance 1st violin opposite Mearns a 1st violin if there ever was one is probably unfair.
I had a similar reaction when I saw this pair at the Kennedy Center last month. I've seen Kowroski in the role before and I love her in it, but the two of them seemed to be dancing on two different dynamic levels. I missed Hyltin's Terpsichore, but I'm not surprised by Macaulay's criticism. The role is not without playfulness at times, but it needs gravitas too, and that doesn't seem to be within her natural personality onstage, at least from what little I've seen of her. Perhaps I'm wrong.

I could not agree with you more. The same problem exists throughout the auditorium, including upstairs in the Fourth Ring, where scraping chairs on the un-carpeted floor REGULARLY disturb the performance. If anyone at NYCB is reading this, there are MANY people who are complaining about this problem. There is an easy, cheap fix to be found across the street at Bed Bath & Beyond. It's a magical invention called Furniture Slides, which are attached easily to chair legs. No more scraping! Use our new $2 per ticket facility fee to pay for it. When that's done, all of the doors need to have springs installed so that they do not slam when someone leaves the auditorium during the show.
About the performance, I thought Megan and Chase were very good in Duo C. yesterday. Hyltin's reading is more satisfying though, in my opinion. I'm not complaining, though. Duo C. languished for more than a decade because of poor performances. I never knew there were so many steps until last year. Reichlin was brilliant in M&M. I liked the pairing of Maria and Mearns in Concerto B.

(AP)NEW ORLEANS -- Chris Culliver found himself at the center of a media swarm Thursday morning, as the San Francisco 49ers held their final full-team press conference of the week.Late Tuesday night, audio was released of a Media Day interview between Culliver and radio host Artie Lange, in which Culliver made derogatory remarks about the possibility of gay players in the NFL."I don't do the gay guys man, I don't do that," Culliver told Lange. "Nah, we ain't got no gay people on the team. They gotta get up outta here if they do. Can't be with that sweet stuff. Nah, can't be in the locker room."The 49ers released a statement Wednesday afternoon stating that the organization rejected Culliver's comments and "have addressed the matter with Chris."Culliver later released his own statement, apologizing.Thursday, he repeatedly had to answer questions about the interview with Lange."It's been very difficult because I'm a little disappointed," said Culliver of the past 24 hours or so. "(People think) that I don't like homosexuals and I don't support gay communities and things like that, which I do. I have gay relatives who I talk to, not on a daily basis, but I do and I support them."Culliver's teammate, Donte Whitner, said that he had a brief talk with Culliver to tell him what to expect at Thursday's media availability. Whitner also said that "I guarantee (Culliver) has learned his lesson now.""He's a young guy -- everyone else in our secondary is a little older than him. We're always trying to teach him lessons," Whitner added, regarding Culliver. "He is sort of the flamboyant type of kid sometimes, sometimes he does things that we don't really know why he does them. That's Chris."He'll learn from this. We'll all say bits and pieces to him, and he'll get past it. He won't make the same mistake again."In the statement he released Wednesday, Culliver said he did not realize that his comments were "hurtful and ugly" until he saw them in print. He reiterated that stance Thursday, saying that he did not consider the interview problematic "until they posted it and everybody made a scene so big.""If you hear the whole interview, it was a disrespectful question at first," Culliver said. "If you hear the whole interview, if you hear my voice, I don't have nothing against gay people, nothing against any homosexuals."Culliver certainly deserves the heat he's taken in the aftermath of that interview with Lange, though this is far from the first time that an NFL player, either active or retired, has made remarks disparaging the idea of gay players in the locker room."It's a rough game, a very rough game and I guess you think of foootball, you don't think of someone being gay," Whitner said. "But the actuality of it all, the facts are that people in the NFL are gay that just haven't come out. I can guarantee you there are people who are gay in the NFL right now." The NFL has yet to respond to the comments in any way, though the topic is a safe bet to come up during Roger Goodell's annual state of the league press conference later this week. Culliver does not appear to be facing any sort of discipline for the incident. More Audibles

still having taxi bug. or texture fail
Hello everyone.
I'll get right to it.
I have tried 188.8.131.52 and 126.96.36.199 Tried the commmandline fixes and traffic fixes. I've tried A few car packs and just adding a couple cars myself. After only a couple cars and a mission or so with only a couple cars I get the texture fails and freezes during loading. With car packs its far worse.
My system should easily be able to handle a major car pack and then some.
CPU: 1090t 4GHZ 6 core
GPU: 660 Ti 3gig
8gigs of ram
SSD and HDD no difference at all.
990fx asus sabertooth
My system isn't even being taxed at all less than 50 cpu usage and about a gig of vram. about 2 gig ram used for system ram. I've been searching and trouble shooting for days. The vsync and the commandline fixes are the only things I've made headway with. I don't see any improvements from turning graphics way down or up other than less taxi's onscreen without traffic fix.
Am I just expecting too much or is something wrong?
I can play GTAiv with maxed out settings with high rez 1080, and decent framerates 40/240fpswith default files. No vsync because it takes soooo long to load I can't tell if its froze up.

My advice friend is, to play missions only with original cars and for fun when just driving free rides to place your moddet cars. I did mod all my cars myself verry carreful, I change 4 door cars with 4 doors cars only and so kind by kind even wagons are replaced with wagon cars and still in the missions I have problems. If we know exactly witch cars are not appearing in the missions and keep them untouched maybe but even then we can have problems playing bowling, pool so best is playing with modddet cars in the end of story just for fun. I make an vehicles archive where all vehicles are changet even the trucks are replaced with sport cars and I drive them all with hours with any problem but seem there is no way to play missions with no problems.

Well I finally found a pack that seems to be working. and a custom trafficload by alex. The pack is evolved v3. I'm early in the game and no other mods yet, though I've done a couple missions and only had crashes when I tried to crank up the popcycle past 25-50 crashed lol But from 15 to 25 it seems to run perfectly. a little duplicate cars(still annoying) but playable. I've seen several cars a I want to change already but that will come I guess. Anyone know if World textures effect the cars and popins?

(Custom) world textures don't affect the cars but they can slow down performance
buildings popping in last minute (while driving towards them) is usually caused by trafficload

Taxi Bug Fixed At least for me
Hello everyone, I think I've found a fix for the Taxi Bug. Try this file: I removed the cars from a few of the group zones and that seemed to do the trick at least for me . I have five hi res deloreans installed and taxis were showing up everywhere when I removed the taxi group nothing but trucks were showing up so I figured out what groups they were in and took the vehicles out of them as well I had to remove the reefer from the boat group because it kept spawning on the streets. In all I took all the cars out of the following groups, Docks, Building Site, Taxi, Airport Workers, and Native Zone, and of coarse the reefer from the boat group. Download my file and place it in your GTA IV common\data folder.

Anchored by a 900-seat street-market style dining hall offering freshly prepared food in nine specialty dining stations, the new Center for Community at CU-Boulder opened for students in August 2010.
The central dining hall is the hub of the 183,000-square-foot student center, which brings together 12 student support offices that had been scattered in buildings and dorms throughout the campus. The offices include Career Services, the Center for Multicultural Affairs, Counseling and Psychological Services, the Office of International Education, and the Office of Victim Assistance.
No tax dollars or tuition were used for the construction of the $84.4 million building, and there was no net increase in room and board rates because the student services offices in residence halls will be converted back to housing for students.
The Center for Community was designed and built to have a minimum carbon footprint. Compared with similar-sized buildings, the new center will be 20 to 25 percent more energy and water efficient. It also was built with the goal of receiving at least a LEED Gold Certification, which it is on track to achieve.
"While the Center for Community will be used by thousands of students every week for vital student services, it also is designed as a place where they can come together to eat and socialize in a comfortable setting that highlights a wealth of cultures," said Julie Wong, vice chancellor for student affairs.

Ranked game
this wiki
A ranked game is a draft mode game type available to level 30 summoners with at least 16 champions available (NOT including free week champions). Summoners are placed on a game ladder and ranked against one another according to a hidden Matchmaking Rating. Players are divided into Challenger, Master, Diamond, Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze tiers, with each tier further subdivided into 5 divisions, apart from Challenger and Master, which only have one tier. Once gained, a tier cannot be lost except by four weeks of inactivity in the particular ranked mode (this applies only to tiers, and not divisions). Furthermore, inactivity may result in a change of league placement upon re-activation. Players who have not played their first 10 "placement" games will not be able to see their rating in their profile until the 10 are played, at which point they will be placed in a particular League, and corresponding Tier and Division. Ranked games are considered the competitive alternative to normal games.
Premade teams
Ranked games are playable in both the 3v3 and 5v5 bracket. In the 3v3 bracket, you must queue as a complete team consisting of 3 players. In the 5v5 bracket, you can queue as a full team consisting of 5 players, as a duo queue with 1 other person, or as a solo queue. Statistics are recorded for ranked games by the type of queue that you initiated the game with.
- Premade: In team-based ranked play, a player will have to set up a 3-man and 5-man team with which to play for 3v3 and 5v5 matches respectively. In order to participate, you must be a member of a ranked team, which can be formed by any level 30 player. This is done through the 'Create a Ranked Team' button on one's profile.
- Non-Premade: In non-team ranked play, a player will be able to either play solo, or in a two-man team (duo). This is only available for 5v5 matches.
Differences compared to Blind Pick games
Ranked games always use draft pick, which differs from blind pick games in the following ways.
- Banning Phase: At the start of champion selection, team captains have the opportunity to ban a total of 6 champions. The bans alternate between the teams, blue team starting. During the banning phase, each team can see their opponent's available champions in order to ban viable options.
- Champion Selection: The team that receives first ban gets the first pick. After the initial pick, teams alternate and pick two at a time until each summoner has chosen a champion. No champion can be selected more than once in a game.
- Trade: When all the members of a team have locked in, there is an opportunity to make a trade within your team. Both members of the team must own both champions involved. One player can initate the trade, and when the other confirms it their champions are swapped. It is possible to execute multiple trades before the game begins. Therefore, trades are often implemented in order to secure high tier champions early on to be swapped with the intended player instead of risking the other team taking them.
- Leaves: Queue dodging is punished by 6 minutes of wait for the first offense and 30 minutes to 1 hour for subsequent offenses. Leaves are punished by a loss of elo for the player regardless of the match's outcome if the player is AFK for at least 5 minutes before the game ends.

Three people swimming in the lake near a dock were lucky to survive electrocution Sunday.
According to a press release from the Gravois Fire Protection District, firefighters were called to a residence on Staley Hollow Drive near Laurie around 9:39 a.m. May 27 for a report of an electrocution near a dock.
Upon arrival, Gravois personnel reportedly found three female patients suffering from effects of electrocution and transported the individuals to the hospital for treatment.
It was quick actions by others present at the time that that prevented fatalities in the incident, according to Gravois officials.
It was reported to district personnel that the electricity was disconnected, the victims were removed from the water, and CPR was administered to one patient, according to the press release.
All three patients were conscious and responsive upon arrival of firefighters, the press release states, but this was a "prime example" of the dangers associated with electricity on docks.
This dock was reportedly older, permitted prior to the implementation of inspection regulations requiring electrical inspections of new docks, relocated docks and modifications to docks.
This dock reportedly had no GFI breakers on the supply to the dock, no disconnect at the shoreline and the ground from the dock to shore was insufficient, according to the press release.
"It is critical that dock owners take the responsibility to have a qualified electrician perform work
on docks and to see that all available electrical safety devices are installed and operational on
their docks along with all work being performed to the established standard," the press release states. "The standards currently in place for dock electrical systems were implemented to reduce the risk from electrocution and should be complied with. It is sad when this type of preventable accident threatens the lives of people when they came here to enjoy their family and the recreational attraction of the Lake of the Ozarks."

Definitely down for Seacrest and Werewolf badges. Is gym badge still getting kinks worked out?
Whenever I'm wondering about the status of the Gym Badge, I remind myself of one of my favorite quotes:
"If you're the strongest one in the room, you're in the wrong room."
So true... so true...
Ah. I thought we were running with the pink 2lb dumbbells.
Shit, with so many new badges a foot, I might have be able to have another incomplete row.
Gracias sir!
Sorry guys, I'm super lazy atm. Was supposed to do that months ago.
- Given sage fitness advice in The Gym
Gym badge is live! Usedtabe gets to pop this thing's cherry since he's got the biggest guns. This badge is treated like the Ali D and Tech Support badges, which means you can't request it for yourself - you have to be nominated for it. And it's not just about who's in good shape, it's for those who take the time to help others with diet and exercise recommendations, stuff like that. If someone's been a big help to you in those departments, nominate them in the Badge Request thread!
Thanks again sir!
- Hosted a game of Werewolf (or a variant)
This applies to both the "prime" Werewolf thread and the Variants/Experiments/Concurrent Games one. Also added some tweaks to permissions for the hosts, which will hopefully prevent their PM boxes from getting full in the middle of a game.
Btw: You guys make a final call on the Seacrest Santa badge art and put it in the template, and I'll get that set up ASAP!
- Be on Communicast
I have no idea who was on this other than M. Naggy Dixon, if you were send me a link proving it!
Ryan Seacrest in a Santa hat, right guys?
Does it even look like Ryan Seacrest in a hat at that size?
