Comment Re:The Theater Experience (Score 1) 327
Exactly. I bought a fairly decent set of speakers, a projector, and a DVD player for a total of around £450 in 2003. Back then, a ticket at my local cinema cost £4.50 (it's gone up), so roughly the same as going to the cinema 100 times. Popcorn was another £4 or so (drinks another £2-3), so that brought it down to about 50 trips - one a week for a year. I split the cost of the projector with my housemates back then and we'd have friends bring a DVD and food / beer around. By the end of the year, it had more or less paid for itself. One of my housemates bought the other shares in the projector when he moved and I bought a new one and have replaced the bulb once, so I've spent a total of about £500 (plus electricity) over a period of 13 years. The up-front cost was a lot higher, but over 13 years it's been cheaper than going to the cinema once a month and not having anything to eat / drink there. And that's just the cost for me: for the first few years when living with housemates and for the last few living with my partner the benefits have been shared by multiple people. Oh, and we get to watch TV shows in the same environment.
I stopped buying DVDs for a while because renting was a lot cheaper, but as BluRay and streaming start to see adoption the second-hand market is flooded with DVDs so it's easy to pick up a film for £1 or a season of a TV show for £3-5.
The real answer to piracy? Give people the product that they want for a reasonable price. Give me a service that let's me download DRM-free movies in a standard format that will work on the FreeBSD media centre box connected to my projector, my Mac laptop, my old WebOS tablet and my new iPad and I'll happily hand over money. Until then, I'll stick to DVDs.

I prefer coconut sugar and is better for you than cane sugar or fructose or agavae . It is very sweet so only need 1/2 a teaspoon in my cuppa. Most brands I have tried are very similar so they all are good as long as they are organic I am happy. Thank iherb for great customer service and deliver!
It does taste like caramel sugar, perfectly sweet with a smooth texture. I'll purchase this again. Yum! Almost forgot to mention why I use this: It's extremely low in fructose/glucose and still contains its nutrients -- unlike white sugar, and it's organic.

Say hello to Alexandra Height. She has recently graduated from Lawrence Technological University in Southfield, MI with her Bachelors in Business Management and is now following her dream of attending culinary school. Alexandra is currently a culinary student at Le Cordon Bleu in Chicago and is in her seventh week of school. She is writing a blog about her journey through school for a foodie group based out of Detroit called The Hungry Dudes. Her future goal is to use her business degree and culinary arts degree to open a small market and eatery. Alexandra has compiled a list of five questions anyone should answer for themselves before deciding to attend culinary school. You can follow her on twitter @alexandraheight.
As a culinary student, I see passion each and every day amongst my fellow classmates but I also see those who could really care less about being given the chance to succeed in such an established setting like Le Cordon Bleu. Choosing the right path for the future is difficult for anyone, but if you're thinking that culinary school and a career as a chef is the road for you, here are five questions to help you decide.
Do you have the patience to make mistakes?
As a chef, we are constantly learning and adapting to the way food works and how we can use it in new ways. We are obviously going to make mistakes… lots of mistakes, especially in the beginning. You have to be ready to not be a perfectionist right away, but realize that once you've been far enough along in the learning process, the perfect plates that you see professionals bring to you at restaurants will soon become second nature to you.
Are you willing to cook all day long and go home and cook for yourself and/or your family?
Whether in school or at your job, as a chef you will constantly be cooking. Many of the students in culinary school also have jobs in restaurants. We are always cooking. You have to know whether you want cooking to be your life or just a hobby that have.
Where do you want culinary school to take you?
There are so many different directions you can go after culinary school. Whether you want to work as a chef in a five star restaurant, work in a hotel or on a cruise ship or even open your own restaurant. Culinary school gives you the tools to help you go in the direction you want, but you have to know what direction that is.
Do you have the dedication?
In high school and even in college, you can always find reasons not to go to class. Most of the time, missing a class won't hold you back too badly, but in culinary school, this isn't the case at all. You have to have dedication to get to class every single day because if you don't, you will miss out on some of the most important lessons that help build your culinary foundation. There cannot be excuses to miss a sanitation class or a kitchen class.
Do you have the heart?
Becoming a chef is hard. I think anyone in school would tell you that it's a blast but that many times it's challenging. For those who only see it as fun, have the passion for cooking. It's rewarding and exciting, but you have to know if you have the heart to make cooking a career for yourself, not just another job.

Hi, I wanted to share that the so called integrity check is considering only the core WP disto, english based. It's not autodetecting the language, thus comparing against the spanish version. I don't know if there are other official versions of WP for other languages, but I think a security suite like this should be able to detect the right one.
Another issue: the admin user check is supposed to detect if there are plain "admin" named users? Because I use to deploy administrators like "admin-Johny" and it's filtering the "-" char, so the real username is obscured and confusing. This should be fixed. Try the checker with these usernames: harry-admin, admin-harry, admin-Harry, Harry-Admin.
Best regards. Thank you.

Did You Know...... that sudden death conclusion may enter formation skydiving competition?
The topic was a more technical one and related to the 4way thriller between Golden Knights and Aerodyne French Girls at the World Cup 2013. The exciting competition between the world's two top teams in the female 4way category was covered with several stories, and the tie-breaker in Banja Luka received additional attention on 19 August 2013.
The Blue Skies Mag article went deeper into the same topic and provided additional food for thought. The events at the World Cup and the following discussion of the rules may lead into some changes in the near future. It could become a sudden death situation.
France wins in Banja Luka after jump-off and tie-breaker
What a year it has been so far — 1-point battles week by week, and jump-off after jump-off after jump-off. The 2013 competition season might be the most exciting and dramatic one in the history of the sport.
The recent and most discussed competition was the jump-off between Aerodyne French Girls and Golden Knights for gold medals in women's 4-way at the World Cup 2013 in Banja Luka. They were tied in first place after eight rounds and then matched their scores in the two following rounds.
The jump-off Round 11 did not change the situation, and the IPC officials had to dig deeper to find out who would get the gold medals. Current IPC rules determine the winner by finding the highest scoring round in the whole competition; at this World Cup France won with their 27-pointer in Round 2, which had been completed a few days before the jump-off round.
Last scoring point on InTime freeze frame
The tied teams are performing the same sequence at any time of the meet and always try to complete as many scoring formations in the 35-second working time as possible. There is always the last formation within working time for each team.
That's literally the last action of the competition for all teams, including the two or more tied teams. The first team may have completed the last scoring formation at 34.78 seconds, and the other team at 34.95 seconds. The first team was obviously a little bit faster/better at the very end of the competition and would be the winner with this tie-breaking procedure.
Hot topic at the open IPC meeting in Banja Luka
Now the hobby judges can get out their stop watches and review the videos of the Golden Knights and the French Girls one more time, or a few more times. It was an extremely exciting finish in Banja Luke, and both teams deserved the gold. However, there can be only one winner, and the French team had the upper hand with the 27-pointer in Round 2, according to the current tie-breaking rules. Sudden Death might be up at the next IPC event...
Several participants questioned whether the score for Round 2 was the proper and fair factor to break the tie between the two teams in Banja Luka — and for any other competition. The jump-off itself as the first level of the tie-breaking procedure was never in doubt and is fully supported by everybody.
Golden Knights after Round 11 in Banja Luka
As usual, I like to look around at other sports instead of re-inventing wheels, or rules. "Sudden death" it is called when ice-hockey teams break their tie in overtime. Everything that happened before doesn't matter any longer. The same counts for any other overtime rules in other sports (basketball, football, soccer, etc.) Golfers play additional holes and have to forget what happened earlier.
The jump-off in formation skydiving competition follows the same rule and the same idea: The performance of a team at the jump-off point in time is the deciding factor. In other words, the better team at the last point in time should be the winner.
Three medal winners in 4way Women at the World Cup 2013
Officials, teams and competitors were discussing other ways to break a tie, and the current rules actually have a better way when it comes to our third level of the tie-breaking procedure. If the teams also matched their highest score of the meet (second level), then it is time to look for the higher score per round in reverse order.
In REVERSE ORDER — that's the difference. The better team at the end of the competition — at this "decisive point in time" — should be the winner, just as in other sports.

Definition of Oedipus complex in English:
Oedipus complex
(In Freudian theory) the complex of emotions aroused in a young child, typically around the age of four, by an unconscious sexual desire for the parent of the opposite sex and a wish to exclude the parent of the same sex. (The term was originally applied to boys, the equivalent in girls being called the Electra complex.).
Example sentences
- The Oedipus complex is the psychoanalytic term everyone knows, and the ideas behind it were first mooted in 1899's The Interpretation of Dreams.
- Jung also argued that the Oedipus complex was not the universal phenomenon that Freud declared it to be.
- This was to become the personal (though by no means exclusive) basis for his theory of the Oedipus complex.
Early 20th century: by association with Oedipus.

It seems both declare the same class, but i'm not sure on what can i do here to solve it. So i decided to write you as you had more experience.

Good hell this is mind-blowing work!
Gorgeous work, bro. One of your best yet. I love your work. Of course, I'm always willing to critique it as well. The lettering you did on the pedestal is a perfect touch. The armor is very well-done. It's detailed, but not over detailed, and it brings around the piece's theme quite nicely One thing that I will recommend you looking into is his feet. They seem smaller than they should be. I am getting a vibe from this that is reminiscent of Warcraft or Diablo: cartoony, yet refined. Because of this, I feel the feet should be bigger. Still it isn't my piece. Lol One more thing: AWESOME job on the chains. Those things look menacing!
appreciate the crit! He definetly has some proportion issues I need to fix. I'll tweak the feet, and probably shrink down his waste and head a bit. cheers!
Wow nice work! so epic!
Teach me please))
well done man.

holy... just wow dude.
how many ztools did this take??? damn awesome job-

My stay for one night in this Holiday Inn Express & Suites Marana was okay. The GOOD: comfortable bed for a good night sleep after a long day of driving. Room was very clean. Check in was fast. I didn't try out the room's Wi-Fi because I don't have my laptop, but when I was at the Business Center, the computers were fast. They had new Windows 8 computers and I tested their internet speeds, which was really fast. Download Speed was 26 Mbps and Upload Speed was 10 Mbps. Breakfast hours are 6:30am to 9:30am.
The BAD: I didn't have my toothpaste and there is a bathroom sign in bold letters that say this: "Forget Something? If you forgot to pack any standard toiletry item (toothbrush, toothpaste, shaving cream, razor or comb) just call the front desk and we'll get you a complimentary replacement right away." So I called the front desk and the person told me that they don't have any toothpaste and they are waiting for a shipment. I specifically told them about the bathroom sign but they did not do anything about it. Well good thing I found a Wal-Mart across the street but still, they can't keep up to their words.
Breakfast was nothing special. Basic scramble eggs, bacon and pancakes (no sausage). The other Holiday Inn express hotels that I stayed in had way better breakfast than this. Their Orange Juice was the worst Orange Juice I have ever had in a hotel. It was probably 50% water and 50% Orange Juice.
Overall, this hotel is okay.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Welcome to the Holiday Inn Express Hotel at Marana, Arizona! Our hotel has 83 rooms on three floors, interior corridors and elevator service. We offer suites with whirlpool.

I cannot speak for Fritz but for me, long posts are fine (I read the whole thing, too) but this is a bit of a stretch. The post may have to do with the gospel and/or the church, but the main drive of it does not at all and thus doesn't really belong in a blog set apart for specifically gospel-related topics. I can easily get this post or one like it in a place where this type of topic is the focus without needing it here.
By the way, I actually DO agree with some (though not all) of Seth's points and think he did a well thought out essay here. Also, just to be clear (though I don't imply you implied this:) I DO make a point to keep up on all the news I can from as many varieties of sources as is feasible.]]>
Realize that the looters example was merely one example of many of the sort of tough stance that I believe was necessary to truly succeed in Iraq.
Of course shooting 50 looters wasn't going to magically solve all the problems we've had the past few years. That was never my point.
My point was that we needed to have the sort of "political toughness" going into this that was needed to truly win the respect of the Iraqi people and give the population confidence in their own future under U.S. supervision. That "toughness" could have manifested itself in any number of ways. The looters scenarion was merely one example. We never had a real desire to win in Iraq – thus our halfhearted efforts at occupation.
And I never said the military was incompetent. All my criticism was directed at the strategic gameplan.]]>
"50 looters shot vs. the thousands of civilians tortured and murdered since then? Your call."
What does this mean? Seriously, what the heck? You think there would have been no insurgency if we had cracked down on the looting?
You speak endlessly about the incompetence of the military, but I don't think I caught a single argument as to why the administration can not or should have known they cannot accomplish their goals in Iraq. You've got some hard core Monday morning quarterbacking going on here.]]>
I DO enjoy all your other thoughts, posts and comments though. I look forward to your next one:)]]>
One more thing. How long did it take you to prepare such a submission? Or did you just copy all those points from some other far-out post?
For next time, remember the value of brevity. Look it up. B-r-e-v-i-t-y. Brevity.
What's w/ the length? Who in his/her right mind can respond to all these points you bring up? I could only read the first 3 paragraphs and realized I would spend an hour getting through this. What's become of this blog?
Take this topic somewhere else. I imagine most of us disagree w/ much (likely most) of your statements, and virtually all of your conclusions.
You've got me flabbergasted. Turn off the war topic valve. How about discussions relating to the Gospel. Isn't that the intent of this site in the first place? For heaven's sake! We all wish the war were going better, but Seth's running tongue is worse than worthless; it's also annoying as he#*. I mean heck.

I have a scenerio where I am using external notification to process documents being sent in from the entire navy fleet, normally I have no problems, but just a few days ago an administrator changed passwords and I my queue processing failed and I rolled back the transaction with this C# code:
catch (Exception) { TransporterService.WriteEventToWindowsLog(AppName, "Rolling Back Transaction:", ERROR); broker.Tran.Rollback(); break; }
after which my target queue would continue to fill up but nothing to the external activation queue. Does the Event Notification get disabled once a transaction is rolled back? Should I have done a broker.EndDialog here when catching my exception?
Also, after my event notification is disabled(if that is actually whats happening) how do I re engage it? Do I have to drop it and recreate it? Thank in advance for any help, I love Service Broker and its workign wonderfully except for this bug that I hope to fix soon.

WACO (June 3, 2014) An elderly Central Texas woman died at the scene Monday night after she drove her riding lawnmower onto the road and into the path of an oncoming pickup truck, the Department of Public Safety said Tuesday.
Leona James, 83, was thrown from the riding lawnmower when the pickup struck her at around 9:45 p.m. Monday as she tried to drive across South 3rd Street Road in front of her home just south of Riverview Road, DPS Trooper D.L. Wilson said.
It's not clear why James pulled onto the road.

AIC Challenges BIA Decision Denying Miranda-like Warnings to Immigrants Under Arrest
Released on Mon, Apr 23, 2012
Washington, D.C.—On Friday, the American Immigration Council challenged a decision by the Board of Immigration Appeals (BIA) ruling that immigrants who are arrested without a warrant do not need to receive certain Miranda-like warnings before being interrogated.
Under federal regulations, immigration officers must advise such noncitizens of the reason for their arrest, of their right to legal representation, and that anything they say may be used against them in a subsequent proceeding. Last August, however, the BIA ruled that these warnings are not required until after questioning has ended and charging papers are filed with an immigration court.
In an amicus brief filed with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, the Council argued that the BIA misinterpreted both the text and purpose of the regulation.
"As a matter of law and fundamental fairness, people placed under arrest should be advised of their rights before questioning, not after," said Melissa Crow, Director of the American Immigration Council's Legal Action Center. "The BIA's ruling renders the notifications virtually meaningless and will subject countless immigrants to coercive questioning by federal officers."
The brief was joined by the American Immigration Lawyers Association, the Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights of the San Francisco Bay Area, the National Immigration Law Center, the National Immigration Project of the National Lawyers Guild, and the Northwest Immigrants Rights Project.
The Ninth Circuit case is Miranda Fuentes v. Holder, No. 11-72641. The BIA ruling under challenge is Matter of E-R-M-F- & A-S-M-, 25 I&N Dec. 580 (BIA 2011).

I started thinking about it this month, when Tim and I began doing a weekly cleanse/detox day and I saw, again, how food affects my body. I thought about it when I read some recent posts (which you really ought to check out if you haven't already) over at Roost and Honey & Salt, which tell the stories of people totally changing the way they eat in order to improve their health. Also, there have been long conversations about nutrition on Friday nights, random chats on the phone and with roommates about digestion, the ever-growing and expanding sea (ocean!) of food blogs out there, which continually blow. me. away. with the diversity and scope and perspectives and recipes. But mostly, it's just been the food itself. I mean, man. Sometimes I'll look at a blueberry or a lemon or an egg and think, you know, God didn't have to give … [Read more...]

Electric Utilities
Company Overview of The Potomac Edison Company
Company Overview
The Potomac Edison Company provides electric services. The company engages in the distribution and retail sale of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers in Maryland and West Virginia. As of June 28, 2016, it served approximately 257,000 customers in seven Maryland counties; and approximately 137,000 customers in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia. The company was founded in 1922 and is headquartered in Williamsport, Maryland. The Potomac Edison Company is a subsidiary of FirstEnergy Corp.
10802 Bower Avenue
Williamsport, MD 21795
United States
Founded in 1922
Key Executives for The Potomac Edison Company
The Potomac Edison Company Key Developments
Potomac Edison begun construction of a new 34.5-kilovolt (kV) power line paralleling State Route 259 as part of a project to enhance service reliability for more than 2,200 customers in rural Hardy County, W.Va., including a nearby compressor station for a major natural gas pipeline. The new 14.5-mile power line is the centerpiece of the $5 million project, which will link an existing substation near Baker, W.Va., to a new substation that will be built in Mathias, W.Va., in 2017. Potomac Edison line crews currently are working in the Mathias area, setting 300 new 50-foot wooden utility poles that will carry the new line in existing right-of-way or new right-of-way near Route 259.
Potomac Edison has completed a new training facility at its Williamsport, Md., headquarters, which includes an outdoor pole climbing yard and new classrooms. The new areas will be used to train students studying to become line workers through the company's Power Systems Institute (PSI) program and by current Potomac Edison personnel for on-going training and instruction. As part of this $800,000 project, indoor storage areas were converted to a 5,000 square foot training facility and an outdoor area was transformed into the climbing yard. Work began in February and was completed in August. The PSI program is a utility training partnership with Blue Ridge Community and Technical College in Martinsburg, W.Va. The students split their week learning hands-on utility skills at the new Potomac Edison facility along with technical coursework at Blue Ridge College classrooms. The outdoor climbing yard provides a realistic learning environment for instructors to teach students how to climb poles, tie knots for rigging, string conductor and work as a team. The yard has 17 poles of varying heights to test students as their skills progress. For example, some poles have cross arms attached near the ground so instructors can stand directly behind students and talk them through tasks. Other poles have equipment positioned near the top, allowing students to practice repairs high off the ground. In the near future, a steel transmission tower will be added to the yard for additional training opportunities. A second yard is planned, and will feature full-scale utility equipment that can be energized to mimic conditions in the field. The new classrooms are separated by a folding wall, contain numerous white boards, and feature 12-foot ceilings and double doors to accommodate large pieces of electrical equipment, such as transformers. PSI is a two-year educational program originally developed by FirstEnergy in 2000 to help train new utility line and substation workers. Currently, more than 300 students are enrolled in PSI programs at 12 schools in FirstEnergy'sOhio, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and West Virginia service areas, including 15 students enrolled in the program at Blue Ridge College.
FirstEnergy Corp. subsidiaries Mon Power and Potomac Edison announced that the Public Service Commission (PSC) of West Virginia has approved the companies' rate case settlement agreement, which will help ensure continued service reliability and customer service for electric customers in West Virginia. The rate case agreement includes the recovery of expenses associated with storm repairs from the 2012 Derecho and Hurricane Sandy, increased operating and environmental compliance investments at coal-fired power plants, and service reliability enhancements to the distribution system, including a more extensive tree-trimming program to help reduce the number and duration of power outages. The rate case settlement agreement results in the recovery of about $63 million in additional revenues. Under the terms of the approved settlement, the companies also will increase their shareholder contributions by $150,000 annually to the Dollar Energy Fund or a similar agency to assist low-income customers with paying their electric bills, raising the total contribution to the Dollar Energy Fund to $500,000 per year. The PSC also issued a separate order regarding an annual fuel rate adjustment settlement filed in December 2014. As a result, residential customers will see a 1% increase in their monthly bills to cover the cost of coal for power plants and purchased power. The utilities do not profit from fuel and purchased power costs, but just recover their actual costs. Incorporating both rate changes, typical Mon Power and Potomac Edison residential customers using 1,000 kilowatt hours per month can expect their bill to increase from $92.38 to $100.49. The new rates will take effect February 25, 2015. Even with this increase, rates for Mon Power and Potomac Edison residential customers will be nearly 20% below the national average.

This magazine uses it's very own "reader". It's quite different from the standard Nook magazine reader. For example, there's no support for "Article View", "Pinch to zoom", or "bookmarking". When you return to the magazine from "home", it always goes back to page 1; not where you were last reading.
On the other had, it apparently allows for embedded video and sound, and a few other features that the standard Nook mag reader does not support.
Love the magazine - not so keen on a completely different reader.
Is it going to be common for every magazine to start having it's own special reader? Seems like a really bad idea. Are there other Nook magazines that do this as well?

I am trying to design a Infrastructure libraries for my company. Libraries will have typical components like logging, exception handling, email etc. These componants will be used by all the ASP.Net applications hosted on our environment (so hosting environment is my control).
My first step in design is that I would not like the ASP.nEt apps to have direct reference to the library componants. So i am thinking to Injecting these dependecies at runtime. I have evaluated quite a few DI containers (unity, spring.net etc)
But what i dont have to do is to force all the ASP.Net applications to use this DI container. They will be getting a interface Dll for all the library componants and some kind factory dll which will give them the concrete instance of the componant.
My question is whats the best way to design this Factory dll so that only one dll can service all the ASP.Net applications? Can i use one DI container to service all the ASP.Net applications?

Klizan, 23, looked much fresher than his fourth-seeded opponent despite having beaten top seed Mikhail Youzhny in a semi-final that lasted nearly four hours on Saturday.
Both players suffered from nerves in the second set, surrendering serve for five consecutive games before world number 45 Klizan clinched a well-deserved victory with a deft drop shot after 69 minutes.

You have to 'cd' into the newly downloaded & extracted directory before running 'sencha app upgrade'. Without doing that, obviously the command has no idea what SDK you want to upgrade your app to.
This is mentioned very clearly in the guide:
Firstly do make sure your current working directory is the *new* SDK directory:
cd /path/to/new_version_of_sdk
then run:
sencha app upgrade /path/to/your_application

I get the same error with the beta 3 downloaded today and SDK also latest.
I cd into the folder for the SDK (not the command tools the actual sencha libs etc) then run the sencha generate
sencha generate app GS ../GSI have this SDK in the root of my webserver localhost - so it SHOULD be a valid folder. I had this issue for too long now getting really frustrated with the lack of help on build issues.
Thanks for any help.

Manny (Ice Age)
this wiki
|"I'm not fat. It's all this fur. It makes me look...poofy."
|~ Manny whenever someone calls him fat
|That's what you do in a herd: you look out for each other.
|~ Manny, after saving Diego from the lava
Manfred, better known as Manny, is a imperial mammoth and the main protagonist of the Ice Age franchise. He is Ellie's love interest and later, her husband, Peaches' father, and Sid and Diego's best friend. In the first film, he befriends a ground sloth named Sid and a saber tooth tiger named Diego led him to rise above his pain. It's the same when he falls in love with Ellie and the two of them have a daughter, Peaches. Manny faces thugs and predators on his journey to becoming a noble hero and father.
He is voiced by Ray Romano.
Ice Age
Once a devoted father and husband, Manfred loved his wife and child dearly, protecting them well until a band of humans on the hunt came between them. Manny attempted to fend them off but was unsuccessful as his wife and child were killed. This left Manny embittered with the world at large, being cold and indifferent towards other creatures.
Manny, however, met a ground sloth named Sid one summer, who insisted on staying close to Manny as the mammoth had saved him from an attack brought on by two rhinos. Sid found a human baby named Roshan, who was separated from his tribe, and Manny, along with a saber-tooth tiger named Diego, helped him to return the baby to his tribe. Despite Diego's duplicity, Manny forgave him and formed a herd with both the saber and the sloth, heading south.
The Meltdown
By the second film, Manny and his herd made their home in a valleythat was surrounded by ice, which was due to flood as the immense amounts of surrounding ice were hastily melting with the spring. With this, Manny and his herd led the other herds of animals to safety, though throughout that time, Manny grew uneasy, thinking that he perhaps was the last mammoth alive. This changed when he met a female mammoth named Ellie, who believed she was a possum, along with her adoptive brothers Crash and Eddie. Manny led these three to safety as well, initially with the intent of choosing Ellie as a mate to spark the mammoth population.
Soon after, however, the flood ended and mammoths made their presence known as they marched through the valley. Regardless, Manny and Ellie stayed together, taking Sid, Diego, Crash and Eddie with them as part of their herd.
Dawn of the Dinosaurs
Some time later, Manny and Ellie were expecting a child of their own, and Manny grew uneasy with his status as a father. Manny grew protective of Ellie and was forced to deal with Sid's disappearance as he was abducted by a Tyrannosaurus named Momma, whose eggs Sid unknowingly abducted in the hopes of having his own family. Braving the perils of the underground dinosaur world where Sid was taken with the help of a weasel named Buck, Manny returned to the surface with his herd and his newborn daughter, a mammoth calf named Peaches.
Continental Drift
Years later, Manny grew more overprotective of his teenaged daughter : Peaches was growing up fast and he became more and more uneasy and overprotective with her social interactions with boys. It culminates when He embarrasses her infront of the all the teen mammoths. Fuming, Peaches stormed off. Manny followed, and an argument ensued, resulting in Peaches furiously disowning him. . At that point, the continent separated, sending Manny, Sid and Diego out to sea. Peaches was distraught over the loss of her father, and of the possibility that the last thing they did was fight.
The continental divides separated Manny from his family for a time, pushing him, Sid, Diego and Sid's irritable grandmother Granny out to sea on an ice floe. Manny, while at sea, encountered a group of animals that declared themselves pirates atop an iceberg ship: the pirate captain, an ape named Gutt who offered Manny and the herd to join the crew. Manny refused stating no one will stop me from getting back to his family. Gutt's calm demeanor quickly disappeared into a look of pure evil, stating to Manny that his family "will be the death of you." . The ape then tried to make them walk the plank, starting with Sid and Granny.
As the two were about to walk the plank, Manny, along with Diego, the saber, worked out how to escape their bonds and toppled the ship to the side, preventing the sloths from falling into the waters. Gutt noticed this and angrily leaped forward, pulling out his sawfish skull blade and engaging Manny in a duel, in which Manny fought using his tusks. Manny gained the upper hand and brought the mast that he was tied to crashing down on the ship's deck, splitting the iceberg in half during their escape, taking Shira with him (who was abandoned by Gutt to drown).
After escaping Gutt and heading to Switchback Cove. Manny comes up with a plan to steal Gutt's replacement ship. With the help of some cute Hyraxes, Manny Sid and Diego eventually manage to steal Gutt's replacement ship. The furious ape then follows them in a new ship, vowing to destroy everything Manny holds dear.
Manny and the gang finally reach the continent, only to find that Gutt and his crew had beaten them there, having tied Ellie to a pillar and Gutt holding a dagger near Peaches' neck. Manny called out to Gutt that he would willingly turn himself in if Peaches was spared, which Gutt dismissed, but regardless allowed Manny to board the Sweet Revenge. Manny came aboard Gutt's ship to exchange himself for his daughter, but the Gutt went back on his word, stating that Manny took everything from him and the evil captain intended to do the same. Manny tried to charge at the evil captain but the crew quickly lassoed him.
Just as everything seemed hopeless, Louis then stood up to the big ape, demanding him to release Peaches. Amused, Gutt accepted Louis' challenge, telling Gupta to let the molehog have a weapon. After a few struggles, Louis managed to unearth the huge knife and fearlessly pointed the knife at Gutt. Louis then threw the weapon into the air, distracting everyone as he burrowed into the ice, popping up by Gutt and smashing a heavy piece of ice onto Gutt's foot. The pain distracted Gutt, enabling Peaches to escape as an all-out brawl between the Sub-Zero Heroes and the pirates ensued. Gutt has the herd cornered, but his pirates are defeated by Granny's pet whale Precious. Gutt is swift enough to dodge the blasts while Squint, Raz, Flynn, Dobson, Silas and Gupta are washed and knocked onto the side of their ship and into the sea,and the ape leaps away, now not caring for his crew. Gutt then headed to kill the bound Ellie. Peaches, using her "half-possum" skills, gave the evil ape a powerful kick, sending him to the ice wall, saving her mother just in time.
Manny rushed in to escape with his family, but was impeded by Gutt, who held him back: the two stopped in their tracks long enough to watch as massive chunks of the continent's cliffs came down hard and fast into the oceans, bringing chunks of land surging up from the waters, which split the Sweet Revenge into pieces and brought Manny and Gutt upwards, where they fought on, standing on a piece of the Sweet Revenge. As the ice chunk that they stood on slid down toward the sea, Gutt produced his sawfish skull blade and Gupta's tooth dagger, splitting the sword in half down the middle, and dueled with Manny, declaring that the oceans were his to control, and swung his sword at the mammoth, barley missing his eye. Manny, however, took the upper hand and blocked Gutt from attacking by standing on his arms: Gutt then clawed Manny's feet, broke loose and jumped up, swinging on a passing branch and over a land bridge brought up from sea. Gutt landed a kick to Manny's face and takes in with a heavy log to finish him off. Manny, however, tilted the slab of his to his side, launching Gutt into the air, where Manny struck him with another log, sending the evil ape flying far away into the distance.
A triumphant Manny then reunited with his wife and daughter. Manny soon after led the other herds of animals, who had been driven out of their homes by the continent divides, to a new home across the seas. Manny sailed the ship of the entire herd to Switchback Cove, where Sid happily hugged is Hyrax buddies.. To her delight, Peaches was encouraged by her father to explore and have fun. Ellie assured to Manny that both him and Peaches are going to be just fine.
Collision Course
Coming soon!
As a mammoth, Manny was short for words, and often came off as cross, surly and cold: this demeanor was brought on by the loss of his family at the hands of a pack of humans. Though he was often bitter, Manny was loyal to those he cared for and watched closely over any that he formed bonds with; though he was dedicated to anyone he was close to, Manny was never above his usual sarcasm, or, as Sid was concerned, a sharp slap to the head. In later years, Manny's demeanor softened as he grew into a herd and found a wife in the form of Ellie: perhaps due to his losses in life, Manny was greatly protective of Ellie and loved her dearly, this love furthering itself as he became a father for a second time to Peaches, his daughter. With his daughter, Manny grew overly protective and somewhat doting, thinking that Peaches was always going to be his helpless baby; this perspective changed as Peaches proved her self-sufficience.
Manny was built as all other mammoths were, large with a thick brown woolly coat, long, curved tusks, flappy ears, four large feet and a long prehensile trunk. Though better groomed by far than Sid, Manny still had some hygiene issues, from overly-long trunk hairs to his toenails, under which were insects that still believed the Jurassic was going on. Due to spending a good part of his time frowning, Manny had a fixed scowl, which he continuously wore, in addition to his surly mood. Manny's eyes were brown and his scalp hair was dark brown, parted down the middle, a style that had been out of fashion since the Pliocene. Perhaps most notable of all was Manny's weight: even for a mammoth, Manny was somewhat portly, blaming his fat appearance on his thick fur. Manny's favorite fruit was peaches, which led to his daughter's name.
- A running gag for Manny, shown in all four films, is that if a certain character were to refer to him as fat, he would often deny it, saying that "his fur is what makes him look big" and that "it's poofy".
- Ray Romano and John Leguizamo's children have voiced small cameos in almost all the sequels. For instance, Ray's elder Daughter Ally voices one of the teen girl mammoths in the forth film.

while reading thru this recipe, you say to use 2 egg whites in step 2, and set it aside. you say to use 3 remaining eggs in step 3, reserve 2TBSP brownie batter. but you DO NOT SAY when and where to put the rest of egg whites in recipe. your math of 2 egg whites and 3 eggs DO NOT EQUAL 8 egg whites at all. you need to either correct the amount of egg whites for the recipe, or tell when and where to put the last 3 egg whites in the recipe. You need to make sure ALL OF THE INGREDIENTS OF RECIPE is used when you type up the directions of the recipe, NOT ONLY PART OF AN INGREDIENT THAT IS DIVIDED MORE THAN ONCE BUT USE ALL OF THAT INGREDIENT IN RECIPE. I have NOT made this recipe yet so I can NOT rate it.

Yes, KATHYO and I picked up on the same thing. 2 egg whites, . . "remaining 3 eggs" does not add up to "8 egg whites".
Feb 25, 2013
I'm confused, you use two egg whites in step 2 and three eggs in step 3 do not equal eight egg whites in the ingredients???
Oct 04, 2011
Hi ewersjo - This recipe is simply lighter than other peanut butter brownies you'll find, especially since it uses light cream cheese instead of regular. Also, there are now a variety of lighter brownie mixes on the market, including low sugar and organic varieties. I hope this helps! -The editors of FaveHealthyRecipes

text: I'm using jEdit and the Sidekick Structure Browser while editing some XML documents. I think in a lot of ways it's great, but I did notice one odd thing. If I have an element with an attribute named "id", the attribute shows up in the Structure Browser, but for any other attribute name, it doesn't show, e.g. <ELEMENT id="foobar"> Will show < > ELEMENT id="foobar" in the browser, but <ELEMENT element_name="foobar"> simply shows < > ELEMENT I've tried several other attribute names, but only id ever shows up. Is there a way to get the browser to show attributes other than id? Just from curiosity - I'm far from an XML expert - is there some significance in XML to an attribute named id? One other quick question/suggestion - there doesn't appear to be any way to do the equivalent of jEdit's "Expand Fold Fully" in the structure browser. Sometimes it would be very convenient to be able to shift click (or otherwise) and fully expand the tag and any nested tags below it in the browser. Is there a way to do this? Thanks in advance, Barry

Chasing the Paper Crown in European Champions League Final
European soccer's biggest final features clubs from one city—and its rival newspapers
LISBON—The final of European soccer's most prestigious tournament will on Saturday, for the first time in its history, feature two clubs from the same city. And when that city happens to be soccer-crazy Madrid, it means that the Champions League final will highlight another rivalry: Marca vs. Diario As, Madrid's pair of national sports newspapers.
The two papers are far and away the most widely read sports dailies in Madrid—and most, non-Catalan parts of Spain. They're so well circulated, in fact, that they're also two of the top four papers in the country, according to the Spanish circulation bureau. (Marca is ahead with an average net daily circulation of 181,000, with As at 158,000.) But it doesn't stop there.
Both operate English-language versions of their websites. Both run glitzy award galas for anyone who's anyone in Spanish sports. Marca has a sports talk radio station. As is backed by one of Spain's largest media groups. Marca runs a Madrid sports bar.
And together, they deliver their readers more than 80 pages of sports content every day. More than half of that is devoted to soccer.
"They're both from Madrid, they both compete, they have the same audience, but the relationship is good," said Alberto Romero Barbero, who covers Atlético Madrid for Marca. He will be one of eight print reporters at the game here in Lisbon on Saturday. As is expected to send similar numbers.
When it comes to selling papers on Sunday morning, it probably won't matter which side wins. But one thing is almost certain: Real Madrid, the most successful team in Champions League history, will take up most of the space. Just as it does every day. (Marca, in particular, is so close to the team that it's widely considered to be its mouthpiece.)
"It's the market. They want more pages on Real," Barbero said, referring to Spain's voracious sports fans.
"I'm fighting in my paper for more pages for Atlético. It's a daily fight. I think at As it's the same."
Founded by Falangist allies of Francisco Franco in 1938, Marca's first cover featured a woman on a sled and the message, "Arms raised for the athletes of Spain."
According to Liz Crolley and David Hand's 2002 academic text, "Football, Europe and the Press," Marca soon "earned a reputation for supporting centralism as well as favoring Madrid over the rest of Spain, accusations that still persist today."
Because for the paper of the establishment, there was nothing like the team of the establishment. At a time when Spain was cut off politically from the rest of Europe—the years of the Franco dictatorship—the Real side of the 1950s was out conquering continental soccer. It won the first five European Cups.
"This was their great symbol," said Andrew McFarland, an associate professor of history at Indiana University Kokomo who has studied soccer's place in Spanish culture.
As started in the late 1960s, a little further from the establishment. The paper's founder, McFarland said, "survived because he was conservative enough. But he was trying to build something that was less evangelistic of the regime."
Those legacies don't stop Marca and As from running parallel campaigns against various presidents of Real, for instance. Both papers also took strong positions against former club manager José Mourinho last season. Mourinho knew it, too.
During one press conference last April, he spoke about how loved he is in England. But, he added: "In Spain, that situation is a bit different, because some people hate me. Many of them are in this room." He left no doubt that he was referring to the Madrid dailies.
National sports newspapers aren't a uniquely Spanish thing. In France, for instance, L'Équipe has been an institution since the 1940s. And Italy has the famous pink pages of La Gazzetta dello Sport, which competes with the Corriere dello Sport. But only Spain seems able to support so many.
Part of it comes down to the deep cultural—and sporting—divide between Catalonia, the home of Barcelona, and most of Spain. Fans of Barcelona read Catalan dailies like Sport and Mundo Deportivo, whose front pages are comically oblivious to happenings farther south. After Atlético pipped Barcelona to the La Liga title on Saturday, both papers were gracious in defeat and congratulated the new kings of Spain.
But by Monday, while As and Marca overflowed with coverage of Atlético celebrations, Barcelona's sporting press was back to focusing on the Barca's transition to a new manager.
Despite Atlético's status as the third-most successful team in Spanish soccer, it remains a tier below the Real Madrid-Barcelona two-headed monster that dominated the game there for the past decade. Which means that the rivalry between Madrid's two biggest clubs has only simmered recently—it's more Mets and Yankees than Yankees and Red Sox.
Atlético may be champions, but there's no doubt who owns the front pages. Since mid-February, Real Madrid has eaten up the front page of As 56 times, compared with Atlético's 33 covers—those include a few shared front pages. (Barcelona's total in that time frame, by the way, is nine.) Atlético's appearances on the front of Marca this month have actually outnumbered Real's, but that's an exception rather than the rule.
All that matters this week will be who owns the front on Sunday morning.
"For us, it's a lot of work," Barbero said of the reporters who cover these teams. "But I can't imagine another match like this."

I will today write to the Chairperson of the Portfolio Committee on Finance, Yunus Carrim, to request that the Minister of Finance, Nhlanhla Nene, and the Governor of the Reserve Bank, Gill Marcus, appear before the Parliamentary Portfolio Committee on Finance to report on plans to intervene in African Bank. In addition, I will again submit questions to the Minister of Finance on the current status of the implementation of the "Twin Peaks" financial regulatory framework.
Last night, Reserve Bank Governor announced that African Bank has been placed under curatorship.
African Bank is well-known for its huge appetite for offering unsecured loans. The Reserve Bank intervention is welcomed, as it will stabilise the situation.
The Governor also needs to explain to Parliament events leading up to the bail out the African Bank.
While the Governor stated that "collections against the bad book will be continued, and indeed strengthened," it is likely that a substantial portion will never be collected. This is often the outcome of extending unsecured loans to already heavily indebted borrowers.
These events strongly resemble those that sparked the Global Financial Crisis of 2008, which led to a Global Recession. The root cause of the near collapse of the financial system was the extension of loans that were never going to be repaid.
We must ask why the crisis at African Bank arose in the first place. Following from lessons learnt during the Global Financial Crisis, the so-called "Twin Peaks" model for regulating South Africa's financial sector was adopted for implementation, precisely to prevent what we are seeing now.
While the Financial Sector Regulation Bill remains in progress, the Governor stated in June that the Reserve Bank had not neglected its financial stability responsibilities and that our banks had been stable over the past year. It is worrying that this announcement was made as late as June.
The Reserve Bank, as banking supervisor, and as envisaged by "Twin Peaks", would have been alert to whether African Bank had adequate capital, liquidity, leverage ratios and sound governance with appropriate policies, yet it does not appear to have recognised the looming crisis. This has implications for the implementation of "Twin Peaks", and requires further deliberation in Parliament.
This event must be a lesson for government in curbing its ambitions for an expanded Post Bank. As well as for providing additional callable capital, underwritten by South African taxpayers, as recently requested by the Development Bank.
Unsecured lending is risky and needs prudent management and regulation.
To grow our economy and create jobs, it is crucial that clear attention be paid to coherent policy implementation. We must ensure that our financial institutions and system in general remains strong.
The DA will continue to optimise parliamentary oversight to make sure that this happens, to protect the financial well-being of all South Africans.
Dion George, Shadow Minister of Finance

Liberal elite
|This article has been nominated to be checked for its neutrality. (September 2014)
Liberal elite (also metropolitan elite in the United Kingdom)[1][2] is a term used to describe politically left-leaning people, whose education had traditionally opened the doors to affluence and power and form a managerial elite. It is commonly used with the implication that the people who claim to support the rights of the working class are themselves members of the ruling classes and are therefore out of touch with the real needs of the people they claim to support and protect. The phrase "liberal elite" should not be confused with the term "elite" as used by writers such as Vilfredo Pareto and C. Wright Mills. They use the term to mean those who exercise the most political power.
The label is essentially a rhetorical device with flexible meaning depending on where in the English speaking world it is used. As a polemical term it has been used to refer to political positions as diverse as secularism, environmentalism, feminism, and other positions associated with the left.[citation needed]
The originating usage in the United States is applied with various changes to other English speaking countries and by extension to left-leaning elites in other countries. However, the term "liberal" does not have the same political connotation in all English speaking countries. In Australia it has the opposite connotation to that which it enjoys in the US. It is associated with the Labor Party, as the Liberal Party is conservative party whose name is based on their objective to liberalise the market economy within Australia. In the UK, the Liberal Democrats occupies the political centre between the rightist Conservative and the leftist Labour parties.[citation needed]
United States usage[edit]
In the United States, the lifestyle of the liberal elite is often considered noteworthy.
Columnist Dave Barry drew attention to these stereotypes when he commented, "Do we truly believe that ALL red-state residents are ignorant racist fascist knuckle-dragging NASCAR-obsessed cousin-marrying roadkill-eating tobacco-juice-dribbling gun-fondling religious fanatic rednecks; or that ALL blue-state residents are godless unpatriotic pierced-nose Volvo-driving France-loving left-wing communist latte-sucking tofu-chomping holistic-wacko neurotic vegan weenie perverts?"[3]
During the 2008 presidential election, Republican candidate John McCain likened Democratic candidate Barack Obama's celebrity appeal to that of pop star Britney Spears and socialite Paris Hilton.[4]
A political ad from the right wing organization Club for Growth attacked the Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean by portraying him as part of the liberal elite: "Howard Dean should take his tax-hiking, government-expanding, latte-drinking, sushi-eating, Volvo-driving, New York Times-reading, body-piercing, Hollywood-loving, left-wing freak show back to Vermont, where it belongs."[5]
Those Americans who equate intellectual pursuits and careers with elitism often point out American intellectuals, most of whom are upper middle class not upper class,[6] are primarily liberal. Approximately 72% of professors identify themselves as liberals. At Ivy League Universities, an even larger majority, 87% of professors identified themselves as liberals.[7] Those with post-graduate degrees are increasingly Democratic.[8][9][10][11]
In Thomas Frank's What's the Matter with Kansas? the idea of a liberal elite is compared to George Orwell's character Emmanuel Goldstein in the book Nineteen Eighty-Four, the fictional hated enemy of the people. Frank argues that anger directed towards this perceived enemy is what keeps the conservative coalition together.[12]
United Kingdom usage[edit]
A Labour Party MP named Emily Thornberry resigned as a member of the shadow cabinet on the 20th of November during the Rochester and Strood by-election, 2014, in which she tweeted a picture of a house draped with England flags and a white van parked outside with the caption 'Image from Rochester', thought by many to be a snobby jibe. Simon Danczuk, the Labour MP for Rochdale, commented that her tweet furthers the perception that the Labour Party "has been hijacked by the north London liberal elite".[13][14][15]
Furthermore, the term 'Hampstead Socialist' is often used synonymously, referring to the North London area of Hampstead.
The term was also regularly used by Nick Griffin, the former leader of the British National Party.[16][17][18]
Ireland usage[edit]
A similar concept exists in Irish politics in the form of the "Dublin 4 accent" and worldview (an area code in the affluent south of Dublin). This term is used in a class sense to signify a difference between the metropolitan elite and the ordinary people (whether urban working-class or rural "culchie").[19][20][21]
Swedish usage[edit]
Such descriptions are made about the Södermalm area of Stockholm,[22] which is claimed to be a common area of Miljöpartiet support and opposition to the Swedish Democrats, often inhabited by journalists working for Sveriges Television, the national broadcaster.
