Note the back scabbard. Also the inauthentic two-handed grip on the sword.
Someone on Facebook told me The Last Kingdom, the BBC TV adaptation of Bernard Cornwell's series of novels about the days of Alfred the Great, was really good. So I watched one episode. Then someone else on Facebook said that it was all right, but Cornwell's antipathy toward the Christian church was implicit throughout. So I decided I wouldn't watch any more.
But that won't stop me reviewing what I saw.
First of all, it seemed to me superior, from a historical perspective, to the execrable Vikings series on the History Channel. Cornwell is a serious historical novelist, and so the story bears some recognizable resemblance to real events and conditions. The picture of the Danes in England follows reality to an extent.
I was mostly troubled by the design of the production – the kind of muddy look that is so characteristic of the Vikings series. Everybody dresses dull, in browns and grays. In fact, the Vikings (as well as the Anglo-Saxons) loved bright colors, and chose them whenever they could afford them.
And the armor. Mostly leather armor, and helmets that seem inspired by real Viking stuff, but are oddly… vestigial. As if manufactured for Wal Mart. Where are the bright corselets, the gilded shields, the boar-crested helms of Beowulf (a roughly contemporary poem)?
And back scabbards. I am so sick of back scabbards. The Vikings didn't use them, the English didn't use them. The only way to make a back scabbard work is to strap it real tight, so it doesn't shift around, and that will chafe you very efficiently after a few hours' march, believe you me.
The Danes' hall wasn't bad, except for the upper gallery, which has no archaeological warrant. But I could forgive that, I guess.
Still, all and all, The Last Kingdom wasn't appealing enough to persuade me to endure the ecclesiophobia of the overall production.

The RRPC is collecting flood resiliency data.March 26,2014RRPC will gather
regional flood data
The Rutland Regional Planning Commission will begin to collect flood data for the Rutland region.
The work will focus on Act 16, which requires a "Flood Resilience Element" to be included municipal and regional plans.
The RRPC will consult with the state Rivers Program to research flood hazards in Vermont to develop a flood resilience element for its regional plan. The RRPC will also work with all 27 municipalities in the region to complete a flood resilience plan checklist.
This preliminary checklist provides a menu of steps that could be taken to improve flood resiliency and is intended to help a municipality get started in a self-assessment. The RRPC will also hold a training workshop to inform local officials about flood resiliency.
Towns may use the study results in identifying vulnerable areas and to enhance their basic emergency plans, hazard mitigation plans and town plans. The RRPC will integrate the results into the regional plan.
The project is funded by federal Clean Water Act.MORE IN This Just InEmployee charged

Manners maketh man - that's what we say here in Britain. Or at least that's what we used to say. Bowler hats, clipped vowels, uptight and sometimes ridiculous, maybe. But at least we had good manners. 'Excuse me', we would say. 'I am terribly sorry (we were always terribly sorry), but can I help at all?'
Nowadays we are more likely to say something like: 'Hey you, what are you looking at?' At the nicer kind of British school there is still an attempt to teach good manners. Brighton College, on our genteel south coast, has just introduced a course on etiquette to teach pupils when it is appropriate to take off one's jacket, how to use the right cutlery and how to break bread.
Did you know, for instance, that it is correct to talk to the person on your left during the first course and on your right during the main course of a dinner party? Honest. I am not making this up. It's a minefield for the uninitiated. Did you know that one must never hold the fork at right angles to the plate, or put an elbow on the table while speaking? And as for the napkin - unfold, but only by half, and place on lap with fold towards you.
It's the only way to behave, so I am told by the London Times. I quote the paper because the truth is I haven't got a clue about all of this. Neither have most other people in the country. Sadly, manners are yesterday's story. Offer a seat in a crowded train to a lady and you will receive a hard stare and a shake of the head. No longer are chairs pulled out, doors opened or help offered with a coat. It's not good manners, it's sexism.
Show courtesy to another driver on the road if you wish, but don't expect a wave or a smile. These days we specialize in putting up our feet on the seat of a train, spreading litter or dropping chewing gum. The terrible truth is a lot of Americans I meet are rather better mannered than my countrymen. We used to snigger at your habit of telling complete strangers to have a nice day. But maybe we were wrong to laugh; at least it's a polite greeting. I don't know. Put in our place by a bunch of colonials. It's shaming.

However, it also tells me that the auto upgrade did not complete and to attempt the install again. When I do I get a server error every time. Plugin auto upgrades give me the same server error. As part of the auto upgrade to 2.8 the database upgrade page appeared to complete successfully, so I don't think that is the problem. There is nothing telling me what part of the upgrade failed to complete. Any suggestions?

The expression of the thousands of genes present in the human cell is regulated by dynamic changes in chromatin compaction throughout the different regions of the genome. The activity of chromatin-remodeling machineries, as well as changes in DNA-methylation patterns and histone post-translational modifications by specialized enzymes, are all biochemical strategies that cells employ to modulate gene expression.
For instance, DNA methylation on CpG islands as well as methylation of histone H3 on specific lysine residues are events associated with chromatin condensation leading to transcriptional repression. Conversely, lysine acetylation of histones is generally related to open chromatin structures with higher rates of transcription.
In this regard, there is a growing body of evidence that associates the activity of both histone methyltransferases (HMTs) and acetyltransferases (HATs) with different human pathologies, from malignancies to neuropathies. Thus, the development of molecular probes for these enzyme families could enable biologists to study in more depth the complex role of histone modifications in gene regulation, and provide a starting point to new drug discovery.
A variety of radioactive-based assays have been reported in the literature for identifying compounds that modulate the activity of histone-modifying enzymes. Scintillation proximity assays (SPA) and FlashPlate® have been successfully developed to monitor the activity of HMTs by measuring the transfer of the methyl group from the radiolabeled co-factor, S-adenosyl-L-methionine (SAM), to the ε-amino residue of lysines on histone-derived peptidic substrates. However, as HMTs can perform either mono-, di-, or tri-methylation of lysines, measuring the incorporation of radioactive methyl groups does not provide information on the nature of the final reaction products.
Mass spectroscopy (MS) is a non-radioactive alternative that has also been employed for studying the activity of HMTs and HATs. This technology allows the simultaneous characterization of the different methyl-lysine forms produced by certain HMTs, i.e., mono-, di-, or tri-methylated lysines. However, while recent technical advancements continue to improve MS throughput, plate-based detection assays remain the standard for speed and sensitivity in HTS applications.
PerkinElmer's Lance® Ultra and AlphaLISA® homogeneous assay platforms are two non-radioactive antibody-based technologies that have been demonstrated to be novel tools for the study and compound screening of a variety of enzymatic targets.
Specific reagents for epigenetic research have now been developed for these platforms, to detect the in vitro enzymatic modification of histone H3-derived substrates (lysine acetylation or methylation). These microtiter plate assays consist of two main steps: the enzymatic reaction is performed first, followed by the detection of reaction products.
During the enzymatic reaction step, appropriate concentrations of enzyme and biotinylated peptide substrate are incubated together in the presence or absence of test compounds. Following this, antimark europium-labeled antibody and ULight-labeled streptavidin (for Lance Ultra assay), or antimark AlphaLISA Acceptor beads and streptavidin-Donor beads (for AlphaLISA assays), are added to the reaction mix for product detection.
The Lance Ultra and AlphaLISA reagents have been subjected to extensive optimization that includes a thorough analysis of the specificity of the antibody used to capture the modified residue. It is of note that for the AlphaLISA platform, covalent conjugation of antibodies to the Acceptor beads generally increased specificity and stability of the signal, when compared with an indirect capture of the antibody by Acceptor beads conjugated to an antispecies antibody. Moreover, the use of Acceptor bead-conjugated antibodies decreases background levels significantly, allowing for improved assay windows.

So I have this page named "test" on my localhost.
Every time I try access the page by entering "http://localhost:8888/wordpress/test" it will redirect me to "http://localhost:8888/wordpress/test/" (with a trailing slash) and instead of a page that I designed, it actually gave me a directory listing page.
I have not mess with any .htcaccess file and I have no idea why it is acting this way, as it is working fine few days before.
Anyone have any idea where I should try to look into to solve this problem?
Edit: when I try to change the page name to something else it works just fine, but I have no idea why it will just redirect when i use "test" as the page name.

U.S., Europe will split Friday morning foursomes
September, 18, 2008
By Jason Sobel
LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- The pairings have been released for Friday morning's opening foursomes matches and it turns out the captains were pretty forthcoming in their pre-tournament interviews sessions. "There's a pattern developing," U.S. captain Paul Azinger said Tuesday when questioned about his players' practice sessions. "I mean, common sense would tell you that." Azinger hardly deviated from the pattern, matching up the teams of Phil Mickelson/Anthony Kim, Justin Leonard/Hunter Mahan, Stewart Cink/Chad Campbell and Kenny Perry/Jim Furyk for the four matches.

Children's Health
Noisy Toys May Give Kids an Earful
Dec. 15, 2006 -- Attention, parents: If your children get noisy toys this holiday season, make sure they play with them safely.
"We hope parents will monitor their children's play with a noisy toy -- make sure they are not sticking the toy in their ear or using the toy for more than an hour a day," Bradford C. Backus, PhD, tells WebMD in an email.
Backus works at University College London's Ear Institute. He recently tested a variety of toys that make sounds to check for loudness.
"Most of the toys we tested were 'safe' when used responsibly," he says, calling toy cap guns "the most worrying of the toys.
"We are not recommending that loud toys be banned or suggesting that manufacturers are not complying with regulations," Backus says. "Indeed, by and large, they are complying."
But, he added, people need to keep better track of how much loud noise their ears are subjected to. And kids have special risks.
Cap Guns Are Noisy Toys
"Of course, we all know that you cannot predict what children are going to do," says Backus.
"If they butter the cat, pour lemonade in your shoe, and feed cookies to the VCR, they just might stick a toy in their ears," he says.
Backus measured the noise made by toys, including toy guns, a toy phone, toy cars, and toys that play nursery rhymes or the alphabet.
Toy cap guns presented the greatest concern.
"This is because the little muscles and neural circuitry that are built into our ears to help protect them from noise can't act fast enough to protect them from these very sudden sounds [produced by the guns]," Backus says.
"Also, these cap guns are very loud," he adds. "They definitely should not be fired indoors."
'Noise Diet'
ASTM International, a worldwide voluntary standards development organization, recommends decibel limits for sound-producing toys.
But toy makers aren't required to meet those standards, notes the Minnesota-based Sight and Hearing Association.
"The take-home message for parents is: Let's start teaching children and ourselves about a noise diet," Backus says.

We recently stayed at this Penthouse apartment with pool in the center of Athens. The stay could not have been nicer. We were there with 6 kids and 5 adults total and the place was beyond spacious and comfortable. The roof deck with pool was the best part of the space - such a great amenity - and the direct view of the Acropolis was not bad either! The Owner was extremely helpful, and George arranged for drivers for our trip. A plus!
Very nice apartment close to all services : bakery, restaurants, pubs, and the beaches of course. You can easily walk to Lake Vouliagmeni (less than 10 minutes walk). Well equipped apartment with a pretty patio as shown on profile pictures.
Great appartment with a fantastic wiev over Athens.
We really enjoyed our stay
We spent days in the vintage apartment and i fully recommend it to everyone. The apartment is well equipted. It is located outside but with public transport easy to go everywhere.
We had wonderful 5 days there! :)
Great appartment, very clean in a nice neighbourhood. We stayed with 5 persons, there were lots of towels and even food and drinks in the fridge even we arrived. George arranged transport from the AirPort, very good. It is nearby the metro station, just a 10 minutes walk.
We had a great time and would recommand this appartment!
After a week in this flat, 5 adults (parents and three grown up "kids"), we just have positive words to say about the flat and the host. We are pretty active travellers and we found the the flat well situated to be a good starting point for excursions in Athens and the neighbourhood. The flat is well equipped, very clean and the hosts responds quickly on any questions. If you need a large flat with more than two bedrooms, you don't need to hesitate about this alternative. But remember Athens is a big city, there's a lot of cars and a lot of noise, this flat is not quiet, but probably one of the better places to stay at.
We stayed 4 people in George's apartment for a long weekend in Athens. I only have good things to say about the flat and George as a host. The flat is very modern and luxurious. There is everything you need from kitchen supplies to bedsheets and towels. Bedroom and living room was very comfortable to stay in. We enjoyed the view to Acropolis from the balcony. The location was perfect - right in the center and walk distance to the main sightseeings and interesting spots. Only a few minutes cab drive to clubs and evening restaurants.
George was a great host who welcomed us with a bottle of wine and tips to Athens. We had a easy and smooth communication over email and he was always polite, friendly and ready to help if needed. We will definitely stay in this flat next time we visit Athens.
everything was perfect.
I had a wonderful stay this summer (2014). The location was perfect! It was close to the beaches a supermarket and even the city center and clubs arent that far! Its a quite nice neighbourhoud with lots of bakeries in the area with delicious sweets, It is also close to the tram and metro lines are easily accesible which makes travelling easy. The house itself was very clean and cozy everything you need it is included! George is a very helpfull and nice caretaker! Whatever question or problem you have you can contact him and he we be assisting you at his best immediatly! I am recommending this amazing beachflat to everyone who wants to have a relaxing good time and close to the good places in Athens! You will feel right at home !
Very nice appartment. Well situated. great view. Everything was also very well organised. Great trip we had.

Took my car (2005 Pontiac Sunfire) to the dealership for an oil change. They told me that my car needs a power steering fluid flush. The car has about 90,000km on it and I've never had this done. I've read online that you should never need to flush it unless you've contaminated it with another fluid. Is this correct? Is it really necessary or am I just being scammed in to paying for an unneeded service?

The easiest way to do it yourself (though not the most thorough way) is to use a good quality turkey baster and suck the old PS fluid out from the PS fluid reservoir and put new fluid in. Start your car and turn the wheels side to side and circulate the fluids a bit. Suck the PS fluid out again (it should be closer to the new fluid colour) and add more PS fluid. Keep doing it until the colour is close to the new fluid colour. I can't say this is a perfect method but it's easy to do and I think it does the job pretty well.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked TenzoR for this post.

if there are particulates,grime, chunks and just very dirty, i do suggest getting it flushed. I am not quite sure how it would get dirty/chunks/etc as I do open it to check once or twice a year and always cleanReply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked tmkf_patryk for this post.

There has been this trend to suggest you flush all vital fluids, brakes, transmission, power steering etc by shops and dealerships, while manufacturers are espousing lifetime fluids. Contradictory in my opinion.
Unless it is recommended as a maintenance requirement in your owners manual, leave it alone.

I'm not sure if the power steering fluid itself degrades over times, however I do know that there may be parts inside your power steering system that do (O-rings for example). If these parts degrade the fluid becomes dirty. This dirty fluid risks clogging up/hampering the efficiency of the power steering system.
Now, whether a modern power steering system has parts inside that degrade (or rust) I don't know. However, this is most likely the concept behind getting your power steering flushed, and why with much older vehicles it was something to definitely consider.Reply With Quote LOG IN TO THANK No one has yet thanked TrevorK for this post.

I would change it every 2-3 years regardless of what the owner's manual says
In the age of 'free maintenance', you really can't trust the owner's manual these days with their invention of "lifetime fluids"... NO FLUID is lifetime
May 4th, 2010 06:22 PM #11
It is nice to say these things and follow whatever path you personally choose but, if advising people, you really need to have some facts and back yourself up with evidence.
May 4th, 2010 07:01 PM #12
Before the free maintenance program, these were the recommendations from BMW:
automatic transmission fluid (ATF) and filter changes every 15,000 miles, manual gearbox and differential oil changes every 30,000 miles, annual brake fluid changes, and coolant changes every two years. Spark plugs, air filter, and fuel filters were typically replaced every 30,000 miles on most BMWs (this is a tune-up) except M cars up to 1995, which got new spark plugs and a valve adjustment every 15,000.
Magically, when BMW started offering free maintenance, the 1,200-mile break-in service was done away with except for M cars. Engine oil suddenly lasts 15,000 miles (dealers are supposed to use BMW synthetic oil). Manual gearbox and differential oil? No worries there – now BMW says they NEVER need to be changed, it's "lifetime fill." (anyone here who has changed their own fluids should know there is NO such thing as a lifetime fluid) Brake fluid and coolant service intervals were doubled with no change in the original BMW brake fluid and anti-freeze dealers are supposed to use.

Engineering and marketing sometimes disagree with each other. These days every manufacturer is fighting the other to offer the car that requires the least amount of maintenance so they can market it on the showroom floor. Further the Germans are including the maintenance for the first three years or whatever into the cost of some of their cars, the less maintenance "needed", the nicer their bottom line. Short term, obviously the car will be fine, long term is a question mark however. I've seen some of GM's lifetime coolant come out pretty much like sludge after a couple hundred thousand km's.
Honda for instance, made the mistake of moving their cars to 96k km from 48k km for the first transmission fluid change a while back. End result was a lot of transmission failures, the transmissions were weak to begin with, but the extra fluid interval definitely did not help matters. They have since moved back down to ~60-70k km on their current maintenance minder cars. Same thing for Honda motors when they moved from 6k km oil change interval to 8k km, nothing catastrophic but things like oil burning and cam noise is definitely not helped.
So yes, definitely follow the owner's manual on the upper limit, but also keep in mind reasonable mileage limitations

Article tagline: "Obama appeals for unity"?
I'm sorry, was this before or after he recently told a crowd of Hispanic Democrats that Republicans were, and I quote, the "enemy".
Or perhaps this was before he told another crowd of Democrats that Republicans could come along for the ride as long as we "sat in the back seat"?

My sentiments exactly, unity to what? Obama has done nothing but belittle and
deny the americans their rights. He has called the american people his enemy.
Why Obama has not been impeached and charged with treason is beyond sensible reason, he has done every thing to destroy unity and now he back-steps to deny his actions?
If ever there has been an evil man in the government of the United States, Obama is an epitome of evil.

President Obama has appealed for the Republicans to work with Democrats, for the good of the country, ever since he took office. The Republicans have refused, for political benefit, ever since President Obama took office. President Obama was right in his criticism. I'm just surprised that he was so gracious to the Republicans, given their malicious and horrendous conduct.

RE: JoeBlow | 10:02 a.m
answer to youe question: NO.
senate was VERY close to fifity fifty,
and with SEVERAL LIBERAL repubs often going left, there was no real CONSERVATIVE repub control,
so we do NOT know what conservatie republican control would do,
though going back to the '90s may give us hint: balance budget, contract with america, etc.
RE: Furry1993 | 9:49 a.m
How about the democrats working with the republicans, it is NOT a one way street,
repubs do not have to roll over and and support whatever ANTI-constitutional nonsense is foisted on us by the FAR LEFT,
republican represent a good percentage of this country's population who DESERVE to have THIER voice and will heard.
and at NO TIME during the last two years have the repubs been allowed to their voice,
Obama talks a good game, but Obama TRULY is a liar,
it always been his way or nothing all accepted from the right,
and Obama will demonize anyone who gets in his way from Joe plumber to a supreme court judge,

If you begin to lose hair in a hereditary pattern, you may be able to slow further hair loss by using minoxidil (Rogaine) or finasteride (Propecia). Minoxidil can be used by both men and women, while finasteride usually is used just for men.
Minoxidil is a solution, now available over the counter. It is applied to the scalp twice daily. It can help to slow further hair loss in some people, and within four to eight months there may be some hair regrowth. In men a higher strength (5%) works best. In women there seems to be little difference in effect of the 2% strength and the 5% strength, and there is the risk of development of facial hair with the 5% strength. One caution: If you stop using minoxidil, you probably will lose any hair that may have been retained or restored by the medication.
Finasteride is a prescription-only pill that blocks the formation of the type of testosterone that affects hair growth. Higher strengths of the same medication are used in men to stop non-cancerous (benign) growth of the prostate gland. Studies suggest that finasteride helps to prevent hair loss in up to 99% of men with hereditary-patterned baldness, and that two-thirds experience some new hair growth. As with minoxidil, any benefits from the medication are quickly lost once it is discontinued. In addition, a small number of men develop difficulty with sexual function.
Finasteride does not appear to prevent hair loss in women. It also may cause birth defects, and should not be used by any woman who could possibly get pregnant. However, other types of hormonal treatment, such as certain types of birth control pills, may help the small number of women with hair loss that have elevated levels of male hormones.
In some people, hair loss may be caused by certain hair treatments (straightening, coloring), hairstyles (tight braids) or hair pulling. These do not cause hereditary-pattern baldness, but they may contribute to hair loss and should be discontinued.
A variety of other creams, oils, lotions and herbal remedies for hair loss are regularly advertised. However, only minoxidil and finasteride have been proven useful.
Some over-the-counter scalp treatments can cause irritation or harm and worsen hair loss.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia (AP) - Two hundred teachers have rallied in the Saudi capital, calling on the government to give them jobs.
It is rare for Saudis to stage any kind of demonstration in this deeply conservative society.
The demonstrators, mainly Arabic language teachers, crowded inside the Ministry of Education building Sunday and demanded a meeting with the minister.
Police were summoned to control the situation.
The teachers said some of them graduated ten years ago but were still not employed.
The Ministry of Civil Service says there are more graduates available than jobs.
According to the Saudi government, unemployment in the country of 27 million has reached 10.5 per cent. Forty-four percent of those jobless have university degrees.

BNP Dividend Future Slides on Report Settlement Is Close
Futures contracts that capture BNP Paribas SA's expected 2014 dividend fell the most in three weeks on news reports that the French bank is close to settling allegations it violated U.S. sanctions.
The futures, which reflect the payment expected from 2014 profit, fell 30 percent to 35 euro cents from 50 euro cents in the Eurex Deutschland exchange in Frankfurt. BNP Paribas is close to agreeing to plead guilty and to pay $8 billion to $9 billion in fines, according to a person with knowledge of the negotiations.
Futures traders have become increasingly pessimistic that France's biggest bank can avoid cutting its 1.50 euro-a-share dividend. Analysts are even estimating a dividend increase, to 1.94 euros a share, according to the mean estimate from a survey compiled by Bloomberg.
BNP Paribas probably will plead guilty in early July to a criminal charge of conspiring to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act, the person said. Terms of a settlement aren't final, although the two sides have reached a broad agreement in principle, said the person. Pascal Henisse, a spokesman in Paris for the bank, declined to comment on the dividend outlook.
Dividend Yield
Eva Olsson, Mitsubishi UFJ credit strategist, said in a note that BNP Paribas could manage fines of as much as $9 billion without "any substantial fundamental impact." She expects BNP will cut the dividend for a year to absorb some of the impact.
The shares fell 23 euro cents to 50.96 euros in Paris, giving the company a market value of 63.5 billion euros ($86.3 billion). At that price the stock yields 2.9 percent, matching the average yield in a group that includes 15 of its closest peers, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Some 1,400 futures contracts traded today, the most since May 30, the day after the Wall Street Journal reported people familiar with the matter saying U.S. authorities were seeking $10 billion -- far exceeding the $1.1 billion the bank had set aside to settle with U.S. authorities.

text: Dole Food Content on this page requires a newer version of Adobe Flash Player. The last name to consider with some large insider buying is food processing player Dole Food ( DOLE), a producer of bananas and pineapples, and packaged fruit products, packaged salads and fresh-packed vegetables. Insiders are buying this stock into some decent strength here, since shares are up around 36% so far in 2012. Dole Food has a market cap of $1.03 billion and an enterprise value of $2.57 billion. This stock trades at reasonable valuation, with a trailing price-to-earnings of 28.42 and a forward price-to-earnings of 8.17. Its estimated growth rate for this year is -5.1%, and for next year it's pegged at 9.2%. This is far from a cash-rich company, since the total cash position on its balance sheet is $94.12 million and its total debt is a whopping $1.64 billion. The CEO and chairman of the board just bought 278,800 shares, or about $2.83 million worth of stock, at $9.67 to $10.45 per share. From a technical perspective, DOLE is currently trading above both its 50-day and 200-day moving averages, which is bullish. This stock has been trading range bound for the past four months, with shares changing hands between $8.35 and $10.50 a share. In just the past few trading sessions, DOLE has started to take out that upper-end of that range, and break out above its March high of $11.39 with large volume. Keep in mind that DOLE is one of the stocks that saw an unusual volume spike today that's being blamed one some technical computer glitches. Volume today is already over 4.3 million which is dramatically above its three-month average action of 805,922 shares. If you're bullish on DOLE, then I would look for long-biased trades in this stock as long as it's trending above $10.50 to $11.39 a share with strong upside volume flows. I would consider any upside volume day that registers near or above 805,922 shares. If we continue to see that action, then DOLE has a great chance of re-testing and possibly taking out its 2011 highs at $14.58 to $14.99 a share. I would simply avoid DOLE for now if it moves back below $10.50 to $10 a share with heavy volume. A move back below those levels could mean that the recent breakout has failed and the stock wants to re-visit those recent range lows.

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The Los Angeles City Council has approved a plan to create city-issued photo-identification cards to help identify illegal immigrants.
The Los Angeles Times reports (http://lat.ms/UafZoR ) councilmembers voted 12 to 1 on Wednesday to select a vendor to develop and administer the identity card program.
The ID would act as a library card and a debit card, and it would be up to law enforcement to decide whether to accept the cards.
Councilman Richard Alarcon says they are necessary because federal government failed to make significant reforms in immigration policy and it's undeniable that businesses and individuals are hiring illegal immigrants.
The lone "no" vote was cast by Republican Councilman Mitch Englander, who says the city is in too tough of a financial bind to take on a new program.

Minnesota Governor, Republicans Reach Deal To End Shutdown
Minnesota Public Radio and other news outlets are reporting that Gov. Mark Dayton, a Democrat, and state legislature's Republicans have reached a deal to end the two-week shutdown of the state's government.
There were very few details available.
MPR's Madeleine Brand reported the following:
St. Paul, Minn. — DFL Gov. Mark Dayton and Republican legislative leaders say they've reached a budget compromise to end the state government shutdown.
Appearing with GOP lawmakers, Dayton said the shutdown will end "very soon, within days." The governor said he plans to call a special session "as soon as possible."
Republican Senate Majority Leader Amy Koch said the two sides have a "framework agreement" in place, but the final details still need to be determined.
"The next couple days will be very busy," Koch said.
The shutdown resulted in 20,000 state workers laid off after the governor and Republican lawmakers failed to agree on how to close a projected $5 billion, two-year deficit. Dayton's final offer before the shutdown was a proposal to raise taxes on Minnesotans who make more than $1 million annually.
Republicans rejected the tax on the superwealthy.
Instead, they proposed withholding a $700 million in payments from the state's k-23 public schools. They also proposed issuing tobacco-payment bonds which are backed by settlement money tobacco companies agreed to pay the states.
The Associated Press reported that the agreement announced Thursday resembles that earlier Republican proposal.

The production of a liquid spray can be summarized as the succession of the following three steps; the liquid flow ejection, the primary breakup mechanism and the secondary breakup mechanism. The intermediate step—the primary breakup mechanism—covers the early liquid flow deformation down to the production of the first isolated liquid fragments. This step is very important and requires to be fully understood since it constitutes the link between the flow issuing from the atomizer and the final spray. This paper reviews the experimental investigations dedicated to this early atomization step. Several situations are considered: cylindrical liquid jets, flat liquid sheets, air-assisted cylindrical liquid jets and air-assisted flat liquid sheets. Each fluid stream adopts several atomization regimes according to the operating conditions. These regimes as well as the significant parameters they depend on are listed. The main instability mechanisms, which control primary breakup processes, are rather well described. This review points out the internal geometrical nozzle characteristics and internal flow details that influence the atomization mechanisms. The contributions of these characteristics, which require further investigations to be fully identified and quantified, are believed to be the main reason of experimental discrepancies and explain a lack of universal primary breakup regime categorizations.

Corsa mastered the dynamics of flow with their legendary cat-back exhaust systems, and now they are leveraging that knowledge to optimize your air intake. Starting with a Donaldson PowerCore Air Filter, Corsa was able to increase air flow without compromising air quality. The intake filter is enclosed in a cross-link polyethylene air box, sealing the air filter from performance-inhibiting elements like heat, moisture, dust and debris. Using the included marine-grade hardware, the filter box is sealed with a neoprene-backed, polished lid. Featuring an embossed Corsa logo, the bold style can only be matched by the performance of the intake.
While this provides a larger volume of cold air to the engine, improving performance over stock, Corsa didn't stop there.

You need to get this product, just like all Corsa products it is high quality and functions well. Easy to install, and you know it's going to perform. Added a nice deep growl to my 14 hemi charger, couldn't be happier about the product or experience with auto anything.

Corsa looks great and sounds great, and enhances my Corsa Cat-Back exhaust system. I noticed the additional power instantly. The only reason I am giving this a four-star rating is because, instead of a bolt-on cover, my Corsa has a non-removable cover, and I believe it will be difficult to change the filter in the future. I emailed Corsa about this problem, and they never responded.

The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek (Paperback)
In describing the true events surrounding a series of frightening bear attacks in l980, a bestselling nature/adventure author explores our relationship with the great grizzly.
Many citizens of Banff, Alberta, valued living in a place where wildlife grazed on the front lawn; others saw wild bears as a mere roadside attraction. None were expecting the bear attacks that summer, which led to one man's death. During the massive hunt that followed, Banff was portrayed in the international media as a town under siege by a killer bear, and the tourists stayed away. The pressure was on to find and destroy the Whiskey Creek mauler, but he evaded park wardens and struck again -- and again. When the fight was over, the hard lessons learned led to changes that would save the lives of both bears and people in the coming years.
Sid Marty's The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek is an evocative and gripping story that speaks to our complex and increasingly combative relationship with the wilderness and its inhabitants.
"From the Hardcover edition.
About the Author
Sid Marty is a former park warden who has been a full-time freelance writer and singer-songwriter for 30 years. He has been a frequent contributor to "Canadian Geographic" and has also written for radio and television. His books about life in the mountains and the Canadian prairies have been consistent bestsellers. His 2007 book, "The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek", earned Sid his second nomination for a Governor General's Award. He lives near Pincher Creek, Alberta, at the foot of the Rocky Mountains.
Praise For…
"Marty's latest, The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek, is a work of poetic genius. The book combines the best of hard investigative reporting with the narrative power of the finest literary journalism. It moves along at the clip of a detective story. It's also a daring work of the imagination — much of the action unfolds from the perspective of a bear... It's as good as nature writing gets."
— Terry Glavin, author of Waiting for the Macaws and Other Stories from the Age of Extinction
Praise for Switchbacks
"Some chapters will have your adrenalin coursing and your heart pounding; one or two others may make you weep. All of them will thrill you with the concrete vitality of landscape and language." — Globe and Mail
Praise for Men for the Mountains
"This is a tour-de-force . . . with something vital to tell the myopic city dweller about what is happening to him in the Age of the Machine." — Farley Mowat

While working toward becoming certified yoga teachers, massage therapists, and personal fitness trainers, the students of Lexington Healing Arts Academy complete hundreds of hours of hands-on training. They put their fresh knowledge into action, leading classes and working with clients to promote natural healing and wellness.
In addition, the center is home to certified instructors who lead a variety of classes on body alignment, pose execution, and proper breathing as well as general fitness. There's Rebecca Hannifan, for example, an instructor who brings elements of mambo and salsa to Shake, Shimmy, Sweat classes. Fitness and yoga sessions also include Yoga Foundations, which helps to establish a basic knowledge of yoga while improving general well-being, as well as Happy & Healthy Backs, which gently builds strength and flexibility to support spines. Some of the center's classes are quite inventive as well; there's Piloxing, for starters, which adds elements of Pilates to cardio kickboxing.
