City of Thieves reads like a novelized "buddy movie"
(think Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid or
Thelma and Louise). This odd couple is comprised of Lev
(small, dark, cowardly, morose, virginal and awkward) and
Kolya (tall, blonde, handsome, funny, brash, rakish and
confident), who together take what amounts to a war-time
"road trip." Like movies of the genre, the principals move
through scenes that are alternately tragic and exhilarating,
culminating in an exciting, action-packed finish as the
heroes realize their goal. It's hard not to like tales that
fall into this pattern, provided they're reasonably
well-done - and City of Thieves certainly is more
than well-done it's exceptional.

Saint Petersburg or Leningrad?
Saint Petersburg (map) was founded by Tsar Peter I (Peter The Great) in 1703, after he captured the land from the Norwegians during The Great Northern War (fought over the Baltic region). Peter moved his capital from Moscow to St Petersburg in 1712 and it continued as the capital for most of the years up until 1918 when the capital moved back to Moscow. In 1914, it was renamed Petrograd as Saint Petersburg was perceived as too Germanic. Then in 1924, to honor the recently deceased Soviet leader, it was named Leningrad. In 1991, the same day that the Russians held their first presidential election, a majority of voters in Leningrad voted to restore the city's name to Saint Petersburg. Today, St Petersburg is the second largest city in Russia and the northernmost ...

Is there any real difference between the two?
I've decided as a pretty casual gamer who has played a few games that I'd look around for another game to play. I was reading through some articles here and browsing the web, and I noticed some websites say MMO and some say MMORPG.
What's the difference?
Ya I am a casual gamer as well and usually I refer to the games I play as MMOs for short. I *think* MMO is just a short form for MMORPG but I could be wrong. I've often wondered that myself :P
This sight has 396 "MMO's" on it... of those probably 10 Honestly Deserve to have the RPG on the end.
If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
Samuel Adams
MMO stands for Massive Multiplayer Online. This isn't limited to RPGs only.
For instance, World War 2 Online is an MMOFPS.
I suppose if that's the definition, MMO should be the generic term while MMORPG, MMOFPS, etc. are all subcategories of MMO. Sounds good, IMO. As for actual differentiation, the previous posts kinda made it pretty clear. MMO covers online rhythm games while MMORPGs strictly have to be of the RPG genre.

Three young men spent 18 years in prison, one under a death sentence, for a horrifying triple murder they clearly did not commit. The apparent killer is still walking the streets of West Memphis, Ark. The documentary "West of Memphis" is the fourth film about one of the most heinous cases of wrongful conviction in American judicial history.
Do we need a fourth film? Yes, I think we do. If you only see one of them, this is the one to choose, because it has the benefit of hindsight. Here is the bottom line: In 1993, the bodies of three young boys were found bound, mutilated and drowned in a drainage canal in the Robin Hood Hills neighborhood of West Memphis. A month later, three local teenagers were linked to the crime after one of them confessed; the prosecution claimed it was a satanic cult murder.
This charge was seized upon by local residents, and some of the evidence seemed to fit. Also, the suspects were described as "weird" heavy metal fans who often wore black. The community seemed convinced of their guilt.
Amy Berg's "West of Memphis" opens with a great deal of footage that is shockingly detailed and grisly, with gruesome descriptions. It's so graphic it's hard to watch. These accounts of the murders were connected by the prosecution to the defendants, Jessie Misskelley, Jr., 17; Jason Baldwin, 16, and Damien Echols, 18, regarded as the group's leader. After Misskelley described the killings in a long, rambling confession that took up a full day, Echols was the only one charged with first-degree murder.
Misskelley is characterized in the film as "borderline mentally retarded," with an IQ around 70. Baldwin comes across as quiet and shy, a "nice boy." Echols seems the most intelligent and charismatic. The three kids liked to hang out together, often playing video games in malls.
Once they had the confession, authorities were convinced they had the killers. "West of Memphis" uses extracts from the tape-recorded police interrogation that imply that most of the details in the confession were suggested to the youth, that key terms were introduced for him to agree with, and that after hours and hours, he was going along with everything. This despite confusion about what time the alleged events took place between noon and 8 p.m., and photographs and evidence providing all three defendants with alibis — crucially Echols, who was participating in a wrestling match some miles away.
There is a conclusion here, asking to be drawn. The reality of satanic-cult rituals are part of the narrative in many churches in that area, and the public and perhaps the jury were predisposed to believe them. Yet in three earlier documentaries, "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills," "Paradise Lost 2: Revelations" and "Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory," directed by Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky, the case against the accused was systematically demolished.
Prosecutors brought a new suspect onstage. John Mark Byers, the adoptive father of one of the victims, said and did strange things on camera, and supplied the filmmakers with a knife that that tests matched to wounds on the victims' bodies. It was easy to conclude he was the real killer, but in this film, Terry Hobbs, stepfather of another victim, is linked by DNA to a human hair found tightly tied up within a shoelace knot that was used to bind a victim. And the makers of "West Memphis Three" get a call on their "tip line" from a witness who said he overheard conversations linking Hobbs to the killings.
Most of the observers now believe Hobbs is the likely killer. Decide for yourself. He will never be charged, because the state of Arkansas, in a bombshell plea bargain, offered the three prisoners a deal where they would walk free if they went through the formality of pleading guilty, shielding the state from the possibility of later lawsuits. The film argues that the state considered it more important to protect itself than the rights of the defendants.
The West Memphis Three became the kind of case that got people stirred up. Stars like Eddie Vedder, the Dixie Chicks and Johnny Depp raised funds and drew attention. Eventually enough people got involved that five of the principals in "West of Memphis" are now walking free, and quite possibly only four should be.

Stephan El Shaarawy has claimed that he is best of friends with Mario Balotelli, and that rumours of a rift are false.
Reports earlier this season suggested that El Shaarawy had fallen out with the former Manchester City man after his January move to San Siro coincided with the 20-year-old's relative drop in form.
But the Italy international has insisted that that is not the case.
"My friendship with Mario was instinctive," he told reporters. "It happened immediately as soon as we met.
"The story that Mario and I have fallen out is false. It is an invention made up by journalists.
"Mario is a simple guy, like myself. We are two nice guys!"

Question on Warmup Sets
I've only recently started using one warmup set prior to my first bench press, as a friend who's been lifting for some years (and is a seriously smart guy generally speaking) advised that I start doing this if I was going to be lifting heavy weight on a regular basis.
I probably don't get the science behind it, and so would like some elaboration. But I've always viewed warmup sets as akin to a general 'warmup' ; stretching with a little cardio. You either do one or the other.
Plus my attitude has been; if effort is used to move the weight, you're wasting your strength. Full potential should be kept for the proper sets.
On the other hand, if the weight being moved is not heavy enough to really affect your full potential - what's it's use, if a warmup (some cardio and stretching) has been performed?
So my questions are:
Who does warmup sets?
What is their main purpose?
How many sets/reps and how much time should be spent on them?
Main purpose is this, it "awakens" the muscle group so-to-say, get the blood pumping and sort of "preps" it. Let's use an analogy, its 10 degrees F outside in the morning and you hop in your car to go to work, start it up, pull out of the drive way and stomp on the gas, your car pukes on itself and takes what seems like days to get up to the speed you are wishing to go. This would be like laying down on the bench press throwing 80% of your 1rm on there and expecting to rep it out 8 times cold, probably not going to happen, and if it does its going to wear you out, i promise. However if you would have went outside earlier and warmed your car up for a little while I wouldve performed the way you wanted it to, because the gas was flowing, pistons warmed up and firing, etc. Same with lifting, warm up your muscle groups, let them know the big weight is coming.
There's a very good pyramid system that someone came up with I remember that is often used to reach the weight you want to achieve while working rep ranges and max lift attempts, seen it awhile back, cant find it now, maybe someone will come up with it for me.
But personally, I will warmup as i feel needed, my max bench press is 360lbs, if Im working up to that my rep range will never exceed 8reps and I will slowly (10-15lbs) increase weight from somewhere around 225-250ish to reach my max effort attempt, as weight goes up, reps go down.
Abbadon, personally, it takes me many warm up sets and even a couple at very heavy weight inorder for my cns to be ready for max or near max effort with even heavier weights. In other words, if i didnt warm up thoughly, my working sets would suffer. I wouldnt be able to lift as much.
Wendler suggests 3-4set. Louie simmons believes in even more. I would much rather error on more than less warm up.
Forgive me if i have misinterpreted your post. Time for bed. Eyes lids are falling.
I use warmups sets. If you really want to see how important warmups are try this:
One week when you're benching throw a weight on the bar that you think you can do sets of 8 with (or whatever weight you would usually use). do your workout with that weight. then next week when you bench again use the same weight but this time do a few warmup sets beforehand. see how your performance compares and how you feel during/after the set.
I do warmup sets to activate the CNS and to stretch out thouroughly to prevent injury, hell when im squatting deep it usually takes me 20-30 reps (in sets of 4-8, an stretching in between sets) with a light weight just to be able to go deep enough.
Time spent varies, for squatting - 5-10 minutes, on bench and deadlift i use to pyramid up to my working weight, starting with 40% or so and get proper form in with this light weight. Ive noted that if form is perfect with 225 on the deadlift, its also perfect with 450 if that is workset weight.
I do warm up sets before the main sets (I also do a full shoulder routine before every day that uses shoulders - so chest and shoulders day for me, but I would include it on most days for you as how you have the routine structured). This is it here, before I did it I would get aching shoulder a lot from a previous RC injury, but since I get hardly anything
Just before i go on about the warm ups, you mentioned stretching. IMO you shouldnt stretch before working out as stretching a cold muscle can increase the likely hood of a pull or a tear. Stretch afterwards when there is warm blood flowing through the muscles.
Warm ups can be light aerobics to get the flood flowing and the warm the blood up (personally i dont do this very often, even though i know i should), or specific sets for theat muscle group. I do warm up sets for the firts exercise for any muscle group. For instance if i was doing chest and shoulder I would do a warm up set before the first chest exercise, then the remainder of sets without warm up sets (as the muscle will be plenty warm). If my next exercise was shoulder press then i wouldnt warm up as the anterior delts would be warm from the chest pressing. i may however do a specific warm up set for the lateral delts and/or rear delts if i was also working them as they wouldnt have been worked as directly.
To know how much weight to lift on a warm up set (again I'll use bench as an example) for sets of 10 @ 100kg, I would do 10-15 with just the bar, then about 5 or 6 at 40kg, 4 or 5 at 50-60kg then 2-3 at say 60-75kg. The idea is you want to get the CNS ready and the muscles warm with fatiging them altogether.
There are loads of benefits to warming up mate, including
(taken from The Warm Up - How To Warm Up Before Exercise)
•Increased Muscle Temperature - The temperature increases within muscles that are used during a warm-up routine. A warmed muscle both contracts more forcefully and relaxes more quickly. In this way both speed and strength can be enhanced. Also, the probability of overstretching a muscle and causing injury is far less.
•Increased Body Temperature - This improves muscle elasticity, also reducing the risk of strains and pulls.
•Blood Vessels Dilate - This reduces the resistance to blood flow and lower stress on the heart.
•Improve Efficient Cooling - By activating the heat-dissipation mechanisms in the body (efficient sweating) an athlete can cool efficiently and help prevent overheating early in the event or race.
•Increased Blood Temperature - The temperature of blood increases as it travels through the muscles. As blood temperature rises, the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin weakens so oxygen is more readily available to working muscles, which may improve endurance.
•Improved Range of Motion - The range of motion around a joint is increased.
•Hormonal Changes - Your body increases its production of various hormones responsible for regulating energy production. During warm-up this balance of hormones makes more carbohydrates and fatty acids available for energy production.
•Mental Preparation - The warm-up is also a good time to mentally prepare for an event by clearing the mind, increasing focus, reviewing skills and strategy. Positive imagery can also relax the athlete and build concentration
hope this helps
Thanks Mr Swede and Carl! Good info!
Here is my warmup for my 5 rep sets.
2x5 Just bar
1x5 around 40%Working Weight
1x3 around 60%Working Weight
1x2 around 80%Working Weight
I also find, as many people said, it gets the muscles ready for the exercise, but there is also another reason. We all know how important form is, well the body learns form through repetition, specifically in the sub 80%working weight area (according to mark rippetoe).
So the purpose of warmup sets like this is to also hammer the form into you, that way when your doing the heavy sets, your not thinking "ok, make sure im rotating elbows enough, make sure my feet are pushing the right way, ok checked back is arched" while trying to handle hundreds of pounds. Doing enough repetitions, your body learns it, so when you are under the bar going for a personal record, all you have to think is "UUUPPPPPPPPP", and your muscle memory takes care of the rest.
One major reason to do warmup sets when using heavy weight (relative, of course) is to prep your CNS (Central Nervous System). Without proper warmups it's simply not prepared to handle the heaviest weight out of the gate, and that can cost you strength and encourage injury.
You may think and feel like it's ready, but you are missing the boat.
Do an experiment. Before your next heavy set of squats or benches (after whatever warmup you are currently doing), load up 40-50 pounds more and just walk it out, and hold it for 10-15 seconds. Repeat this 3-5 times, before moving on to your first working set.
The weight feels lighter.
Why? Your central nervous system has been properly stimulated to handle the loads you are lifting with. The weight feeling lighter isn't a gimmick. It feels lighter because your CNS is allowing you to recruit more resources (muscle fiber recruitment) to handle it.
More resources equals a safer and more effective lift.
Warmups also allow you to practice form, while getting the feel for a lift, which is needed with heavy weight. Bad form equals a disaster, and while I know many lifters think they have mastered form, this is not the case. You never master form. Heavy weight is your master, and the heavier it gets, the more you need to focus on form - especially the "minor" aspects.
If I do not constantly write down form notes, I will start to forget something. I need to pull out my notebook and do a few warmups to practice my form, under a progressively heavier weight. Not doing so is an invitation to strains and injury.
My warmups sets are not taxing. I warmup to get the feel of the lift, to set my form with progressively heavier weight, and to prime my CNS.
When I bench with 315x5, my warmups looked like this early last year:
Bar x 15
135 x 5
225 x 5
275 x 1
315 x 1
Over time I found a more effective way for me to prime my CNS was to work in slower weight intervals, and something like this worked better for me:
Bar x 15
135 x 5
225 x 5
255 x 1
275 x 1
295 x 1
315 x 1
The last single was to get the feel of 315....to prime my CNS and form with it.
For squats, when I work above 400 which I did most of the year last year, my warmups were something like:
Buffalo Bar (55lbs) x 5
135 x 5
135 x 5
225 x 3
315 x 1
365 x 1
405 x 1
405 x working sets.
When working heavy I would never waver from this structure. My warmups on squats alone take nearly 30 minutes.
I did not need as many warmup sets when my bench max was 275, and my squat max was 400. The point being...the heavier the weight, the more I needed to prime CNS and prep my form.
Heavy weight forces you to practice your form non-stop, and it only gets more difficult - not easier. It's like driving a NASCAR stock car...sure you know how to drive, but can you drive at 230 MPH?
Note: I also advocate biggest lifts first, because of the warmup time involved. For smaller lifts using the same muscle group after this lift, I perform very few warmup sets, unless the exercise is a beefy lift like deadlifts, good mornings, etc.

US officials are expected to use Monday's meeting of Group of Seven ministers and central bankers to urge their European counterparts to boost growth and to share with the US the burden of soaking up imports from Asia. The weak euro has become a symbol in the US of European economic inaction.
The International Monetary Fund added its pressure yesterday, urging the European Central Bank to be more open about its policies and to respond to low inflation. Although praising the ECB's "sensible and pragmatic" approach to monetary policy, the IMF agreed that the weakness of the euro since its 1 January launch reflected doubts about growth in the euro area.
"It was particularly important at the early stages of the ECB, in view of uncertainties for the outlook in the euro area and the global economy, that the public understand and have confidence in the monetary framework," the IMF said.
The new currency remains close to its low against the US dollar, hovering just above $1.06 yesterday. It has lost about 10 per cent of its value against the dollar since the new year. Trading was quiet yesterday ahead of Monday's G7 meeting. Finance ministers arrive in Washington tomorrow in the wake of the weekend Nato summit.
Financial market analysts predict that the euro will remain weak until economic fundamentals on the Continent show signs of improvement.
Philippe d'Arvisenet, chief economist at BNP in Paris, said: "The Americans might put on some pressure, but the currency is just a reflection of economic conditions." Slow growth in Europe compared to faster US growth would keep the euro weak for a few months, he said. The Balkan war also weighs on the euro, analysts said.
However, the suspicion in the US is that Europe is deliberately practising towards its new currency the policy of benign neglect that has served the dollar and US exporters so well. The issue has become sensitive because of the Asian crisis and subsequent explosion of the US trade deficit. Protectionist sentiment among US producers is rampant.
New figures for the UK economy yesterday confirmed that growth remained sluggish in the first quarter of this year. However, the 0.1 per cent rise in GDP in January to March, to a level 0.7 per cent higher than a year earlier, is widely expected to mark the low point of the business cycle.
According to preliminary figures from the Office for National Statistics, manufacturing output fell during the quarter, but more slowly than in the final quarter of 1998. The figures for manufacturing output in the first quarter are likely to show a fall of around half the fourth quarter's 1.3 per cent decline.
But if the worst is over for manufacturing, growth in services slowed to its lowest since the trough of the recession in mid-1992. Services output rose 0.4 per cent in the first quarter, taking the year-on-year growth down to 2.3 per cent from 2.7 per cent in the fourth quarter.
Since mid-1992, services output has climbed by 26.7 per cent, compared to a rise of about 8 per cent for manufacturing output.

The none-of-the-above option, which the Supreme Court has directed the Election Commission to include in voting machines ("Yes to the no-vote option," Sept. 28), will, no doubt, draw the elite and upper middle class electorate which was hitherto reluctant to vote to the polling booths. But the option will not serve the purpose until some practical hurdles are removed.
If a majority of voters choose not to vote for any candidate, will the election be declared void? Can democracy survive under such circumstances? Democracy is not just about exercising the right to vote; it is also about voting responsibly.
Kunreddy Naveen, Nalgonda
The no-vote option will enhance inclusion of people in the election process but the fact remains that it will make the constitutional machinery defunct. A re-poll will only mean a heavy burden on the exchequer and cause the twin sisters of corruption and malpractices to grow manifold. Although the court decision is commendable, we need to be cautious about adopting the NOTA option.
Nithya G. Nair, Thiruvanathapuram
The court direction is a boon to all those who cannot express their anger directly at the political system. It is a weapon to tackle muscle and money power. The common man will henceforth have the option of ushering in clean governance.
Anand Kumar, Meerut
Doubts such as what will happen if the number of voters who use the no-vote option is more than the maximum number of votes polled by a candidate should be cleared. These problems can be sorted out only through discussion but should not dampen implementation of the no-vote option.
S. Nallasivan, Tirunelveli
The reform is a welcome change. In constituencies where a majority of voters opt for NOTA, the EC should order re-poll. Political parties should field different candidates. This will certainly change the way elections are conducted in India.
Nipun Jindal, Chandigarh
The option will increase voter participation. If NOTA votes exceed 50 per cent in a constituency, re-polling should be done after eliminating candidates with the lowest tally.
Vinayak Pawar, Rahuri
The right to reject is fundamental to cleansing politics. It will not only give voters another choice but also motivate reluctant people to exercise their franchise.
P.A. Sabareesh, Ernakulam
The court direction, though late, is welcome. In a democracy, a voter should have the right to express his displeasure. One hopes the NOTA option will make parties field worthy candidates. It is another milestone in Indian democracy.
M. Richie Dayal, Hyderabad
At present, those who wish to record a 'no vote' option have to sign a form (49 O). I did that in the last Assembly election. People behind me in the queue could easily see that I was exercising the option. Since I live in a village, where everybody is known to everybody, many people asked me why I had rejected all the candidates. I felt extremely embarrassed. Thus the court order is most welcome.
K. Marxe, Alangudi
Introducing NOTA will not affect the present voting system much because most of those who vote don't really exercise their right responsibly. They vote for cash and other inducements given by politicians. They will never choose the no-vote option.
P.R. Harith Varma, Hyderabad

I've ridden in a tuned GLH (>300hp), but not a GLHS, and it scared the **** out of me. When you put your foot down, you'd better have that car pointing in the direction you want to go. Otherwise, you'll be making your explanations to St Peter, with a Dodge steering wheel wrapped around your neck. "Laggy" doesn't begin to describe it.
Things are interesting again, I've learned I have some "hobby" funds available. What great timing!
He must have had everydamthing on that car safety wired and tack welded. I mean it quite literally when I say they disassembled themselves, and rapidly. They made 70's English quality control look like NASA prep for a Moon Shot.

Deca to repair??
Deca to repair??
Hi guys complete rookie here i am in the fitness industry and i know basic knowledge on some types of roids and i have read that deca is very good at healing joint pain and increasing bone density aswell as good for bulking with minimal effects if taken correctly. I am 22 years old and have had a boxing injury since december, countless trips to the physio and rehab programs on my wrist and now last res is accupuncture. I am double jointed in my wrists so my injury was a little more rare than normal as i belive i have ruptured a small disk that run in line with my little finger about few inches down the corner of my wrist. It hasnt heald having not boxed in 2months with weight training giving me no problems and only returning when i box. My friend who was into roids alot swears by deca that helped heal his back and tenis elbow that me going on a 1mill a week and then possably up to 1.5-2 mill will help sort out my injury as the way to repair the disk is via surgery which in not an option for me. I basically wanted to know your thoughts on it i am only looking to take it to heal my wrist and to be honest i am a small frame so giving me a bit more bone density i wouldnt object to it either. I do train regularly and have a good diet weigh 140lb would like to box at 147lbs. I have a smaller kidney on one side and have read no problems that deca would give me with that but as i dont drink and take nothing but weigh protien i dont over use them.
Advice would be very much appriciated and welcome all to comment, Thanks
any help guys would be much apprecited, also do you think i would need a small test boots if im taking 1 mil a week?
I don't think anyone can say for sure if it will help you, but hey why not? I'd try it if I were in your shoes.....If your taking any steroids I would assume shut down after some period of time. So If you take the Nandrolone long enough and you want good testosterone levels than I would also take it too. IMO 300mg/week Nandrolone and 200-300mg/week test. But Also things take time to heal......... What kind of rest have you been giving it?
Woah, woah. Dont run Deca for the sole purpose of repair. itll make you feel better but if you dont run it for bodybuilding things will hit the fan.
5'10 140???
id go el'natural for a while longer.
I have tried everything no boxing what so ever for 2 months with light forearm curls and now have moved on to acupuncture and sports massage. have been taking glucosomine with msm and even icing it just temp gets rid of the pain/swelling. When you guys say shut down what to you mean? I do train weights even more so because it doesnt give me any pain when i do so i would never take deca and not train weights but because i am in the fitness industry i have to get this mended some how and just wanted to know your guys advice, if i didnt have to run the course now i wouldnt because i agree im 22 and only 140 so id prefer it if i was 25/26.
Check out the GHRP-6 forums; I had a shoulder injury and it cleared it right up within a couple of weeks. There's a heap of good info in there.
You don't really want to hit the deca solo (as I found out), you'll shut down hard and need a good PCT after.
i have read that hgh does help with repair. google human growth hormones. that s**t is expensive though.
Well don't feel like you have to take the deca. You might just need longer than two months off. I second that you should look at IGF-1 and GHRP-6. Shut down is when you stop producing your own test. Look up Hpt axis, it works by negative feed back. Take some time to use the search function, there is some good info on your questions.
Not sure if it would be worth the sides. By sides I mainly mean shut down. I don't think that anything less than 200mg would even do anything. In my experience Deca has helped when I was on...and for a little while afterwards, but not permanently. If you have some kind of break/tear/stress fracture you might want to just wrap/cast it and let it heal according to your doctors recommendations. My opinion doesn't carry any clout on this board yet, but I personally would not use gear for the sole purpose of healing something like that.

The cabin location is so convenient, very close to pictured rocks falls. There are enough rooms, beds, sheets, etc, and it's great for families to share. The kitchen almost has everything you need to cook. Tim is very nice and helpful. We will come back to stay here again!
We had a wonderful time and stay here. The place was a little ways out of the city and kind of out in the sticks. But the place was very comfortable and clean. Beds were comfortable. The hot tub was not working while we stayed here but other than that everything else was fine.
Stayed at the home for 3 nights. House was very clean, beds were comfortable, lots of kitchen supplies. Tim was great! Gave kids popsicles and let them play with his dog. We were able to get firewood from him, had bonfire every night, yard was great. Location was good re: getting to the hiking trails. Very good restaurant a mile away. Overall, was a great stay!! We will return.
The property is in very good condition and the house is designed/decorated nicely. Owner Tim is very friendly.
The water smells sulphur but Tim mentioned it up front so we were prepared.
Great place for a large group. Tim (owner) met us at the property, and was available for questions regarding the property. House was clean and comfortable. Tim even dropped off additional card table to use with our large group. Had a great time viewing the sights of the area. Beautiful surroundings - quiet place for a family reunion.
This home is absolutely amazing! We had 19 people that fit very comfortably with extra beds to spare! Two of us camped in the backyard which was extremely secluded and woke up to the birds just a-singing! The bonfire pit was perfect and we were able to buy firewood from the homeowner who was just up the road. Tim Grogan was great to work with, I texted him a lot of questions and he was always prompt to answer and it never seemed to bother him! The hot tub was incredible and we definitely enjoyed it after getting caught in a storm on Lake Superior where we had rented pontoon boats for the day to see Pictured Rocks. The home was immaculate and it's obvious Tim takes great pride in his guests' experience. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone looking for an incredible trip!
The Sugar Maple Lodge is just a few miles from Lake Superior. The Miners Beach, Miners Castle and Miners Falls are about 5 miles west on H58. The Lodge also has trails all throughout the property for guests to enjoy.

From bug 308552 comment 99:
* Not doing the dock icon badging until after the alert is dismissed is not
what we want to do: not only is it confusing to dismiss a sticky alert and only
then have the icon bounce and get badged, it also opens us up to badging it
with the unexciting but extremely persistent news that you have 0 new emails,
if you have one and read it before the alert goes away.
Help me understand what should happen here. As I see it, there is:
1) growl installed: show growl alert and badge dock icon with count
2) growl not-installed: bounce dock icon and badge dock icon with count
For 2) I need to understand how to apply mail.biff.animate_dock_icon. I take it to mean "bounce dock" vs. badging the icon (i.e., I assume I should badge the icon no matter the value of the pref).
Make sense?
I think you've got the right steps there. I think as the growl alerts can go away, and we have the option for the dock icon to show the number, we should maintain that.
(In reply to comment #1)
> For 2) I need to understand how to apply mail.biff.animate_dock_icon. I take
> it to mean "bounce dock" vs. badging the icon (i.e., I assume I should badge

I think that would be reasonable as a first cut and we can see what feedback we get.

Attempt to fix notification call ordering
I've split-out badging and bouncing, trying to honour the various alert/icon prefs as made sense based on the above. After a discussion last night on irc, I'm not clear the right path, given that you can also disable the growl "New Mail" notification from the growl pref panel, and perhaps this is the "right" place to do it. I'm deathly allergic to bouncing the dock, but I've done it anyway :)
Also, I removed all references to mSuppressBiffIcon, since it is PR_FALSE in all cases. If I'm missing something important, let me know and I'll add them back.

Attempt to fix notification call ordering
Just spoke to David about this on irc, switching reviewers around due to those with time available and who have a mac.
I've just been testing out the patch and found some issues I think we need to resolve:
- Growl detection doesn't work correctly (you can test this by stopping growl in the system preferences) - we don't get the dock icon bouncing.
When growl isn't installed/running, then we won't get the before-growl-registration notification, see http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mozilla/toolkit/components/alerts/src/mac/nsAlertsService.mm#145 for more details.
- Preferences UI is now a bit strange.
If we've got growl installed and running, then selecting "Animate the dock icon" does nothing.
So at the moment, I'm thinking either we should honour that pref regardless of if growl is installed or not, or remove/hide it in the preferences UI if growl is installed & running.
Thoughts welcome...

Attempt to fix notification call ordering
there are also some style issues -
+ } else {
+ mAlertInProgress = PR_TRUE;
+ BounceDock();
} else { should be
and this indentation looks wrong:
+ if (domWindow)
+ {
+ nsCOMPtr<nsIDOMChromeWindow> chromeWindow(do_QueryInterface(domWindow));
+ chromeWindow->GetAttention();
+ }
as does this:
+ if (err != noErr)
+ {
+ NS_WARNING("FMGetFontFromFontFamilyInstance failed");
+ ::EndCGContextForApplicationDockTile(context);
+ return NS_ERROR_FAILURE;
(4 spaces instead of 2?)

patch with bienvenu's style corrections
Fixed style issues.
Regarding Mark's comments, I've done some more research and testing. It seems that growl-not-installed and growl-installed-but-disabled are not the same thing from within Mozilla. In fact, we can't know that the user has disabled (i.e., stopped) growl due to the growl APIs: either the nsIAlertsService is there, or we are thrown NS_ERROR_SERVICE_NOT_AVAILABLE. Stopping growl won't change this.
This patch works if you remove growl (see http://growl.info/documentation/growl-package-removal.php for instructions). If you simply stop it, you'll get no growl notification, and also no dock bounce. I think this is right, and we shouldn't try to circumvent the user disabling growl and fall-back to the icon bounce.
The prefs still might not be what we want, but they work as described above.
See also bug 381520. According to that, I could check for NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE when calling showAlertNotification, and bounce in that case too. I still think that's wrong: if the user disabled growl, that's his/her decision and we shouldn't layer bounce on top of that.

patch with bienvenu's style corrections
Well, I still don't like the fact that if growl is installed we ignore the "animate the dock icon" preference.
Personally I think we should respect that whatever the state of growl is, although ideally we probably don't want to do both.
However, I'm going to pass the buck and ask our user-experience person (Bryan) for an opinion.
Bryan, if you can't understand the comments in this bug, ping us for a discussion on irc.
One nit:
+ nsCOMPtr<nsIWindowMediator> mediator (do_GetService(NS_WINDOWMEDIATOR_CONTRACTID));
As you're moving the line, please could you drop the space between mediator and (do_GetService.

patch with bienvenu's style corrections
a few more nits:
I know you just moved this code, but there are a bunch of places where the code doesn't need to assign to a temp err var, e.g.,
+ err = ::ATSUCreateStyle(&style);
+ if (err != noErr)
+ {
+ NS_WARNING("ATSUCreateStyle failed");
+ ::EndCGContextForApplicationDockTile(context);
+ return NS_ERROR_FAILURE;
+ }
can be if (::ATSUCreateStyle(&style) != noErr) ...
I'll leave it up to you if you want to change those or not.
I have *no* opinion about the bouncing dock, other than it's horribly annoying :-)
I'm going to wait until this weekend so I can get a demo of this running from davida or someone with the patch ready; I feel like I need see this in action.

r/sr+ patch, fixed double-notification regression, nits fixed
Thanks Mark, David. I've addressed your comments.
In fixing these nits, I also noticed I regressed the growl stuff, such that 2 notifications get shown per 1 new mail. I altered my mAlertInProgress logic in this patch, and it's now fixed.
Clark, I have a fix for bug 460287 I'd like to put up, which builds on this patch. Any chance you can take a look and let me know if I need to make further changes here before I do?
Ok, I had a chance to take a look at this yesterday. Sorry for the slow response time, but I think I have a handle on what's happening here.
If we're going to support growl it would seem that we need to support it with a holistic idea of mail notifications. With growl and the dock animation we have two systems for notifying a person of new mail and it's a bit overload. The dock animation is a low-fi way of saying "something happened" while the growl notification is a more hi-fi way of telling the person exactly what happened. So I don't think we need both happening at the same time.
I am wondering if we should be turning off the dock animation preference if growl is installed, instead of ignoring it. This way a person could turn it back on themselves.
(In reply to comment #13)
> I am wondering if we should be turning off the dock animation preference if

> back on themselves.
So we're really talking about these two, I think:
We don't have any way to know that growl is installed/running except to try and call into it--either it works or it doesn't (i.e., the service is there). So I'm not clear what to do with "[turn] off the dock animation preference if growl is installed." Right now my logic is:
OnNewMail {
if mail.biff.show_alert
if growl is installed // also includes user disabling/stopping it
if mail.biff.animate_dock_icon
So I could set animate_dock_icon = false each time I growl(), but that seems crazy, and would overwrite any true pref the user put in manually. I could also drop the else and just honour the animate_dock_icon pref, but that gets back to your duplication of effort issue, on which I agree with you.
What to do? I vote for my way ;)
Ok, I understand. Thanks for the explanation! Your way does seem to make the most sense, lets do that!
I've just noticed that mail.biff.show_alert isn't set in preferences on Mac: http://mxr.mozilla.org/comm-central/source/mail/components/preferences/general.xul#109
Therefore I don't think we should honour that pref there (and maybe remove it from mailnews.js for mac), especially as its duplication of turning things on/off.
Thanks Clark.
Mark, I'm thinking about the other mac-biff bugs I'm working on, and thinking that removing this from mailnews.js is going to suck when a user wants to stop growl notifications--unless you mean "remove the mac special case in mailnews.js."
The fact that all we have is "Animate the dock icon" for mac sucks now that growl is a possible alternative. I don't love this idea, but what about changing the pref panel like so:
When new messages arrive:__________________________________________
[] Animate the dock icon
[] Show an alert (requires Growl)
Presumably we could even dynamically add/remove that second pref option from the dialog, based on whether the service is available? That's perhaps more clever than it needs to be.
Bryan and I have just been discussing this.
"Animate the dock icon" is off by default. Given that fact, the user experience for new installs will be that if growl is installed, then we'll use that by default.
So the best thing to do here would be to change your OnNewMail function to be:
OnNewMail {
if mail.biff.show_alert
if growl is installed // also includes user disabling/stopping it
if mail.biff.animate_dock_icon
In that way, we'll use animate dock icon if the user sets it, and we'll use growl if growl is installed. For those users that have been animating the dock icon, then they should already know where the preference is.
Hopefully this will provide a reasonable user experience in all cases.
OK, I think this makes sense, and I'll update my patch to do what you've outlined above. Thanks, guys.
Before I do, can you make a decision on comments #16 and #17? If I need to update the pref UI too, I'd like to do it all at once.
(In reply to comment #19)
> Before I do, can you make a decision on comments #16 and #17? If I need to
> update the pref UI too, I'd like to do it all at once.
From what we (Bryan and myself) were talking about earlier, we'll just leave the pref UI as it is for now and see how it goes.

Updated pref logic
I've updated the pref logic based on Mark's comments. I also renamed BounceDock() to BounceDockIcon() in order to maintain naming consistency.
Comment on attachment 347356 [details] [diff] [review]
Updated pref logic
This is ready for review. I waited, as I thought I'd broken something, but after more testing realized that the "brokenness" was there before I started.
Specifically, I was concerned that when you get new mail, and a growl notification, subsequent new messages don't cause more notifications. This happens because in nsMessengerOSXIntegration::OnItemIntPropertyChanged the value of aProperty isn't "BiffState." So it's doing what it's supposed to, but that doesn't seem right to me. Am I wrong?
Personally, I'd expect that when I get new mail, I get notified, regardless of what has happened previously.

You might be seeing bug 459487 - but in theory, we clear the biff icon/state if you do things like read a message or open a folder, but we don't clear it if you don't do anything.

Homemade Kahlua !!
Total Time
Prep 20 mins
Cook 504 hrs
If you are looking for a tasty homemade gift, a lower-cost version of the brand-name liqueur or just a fun cooking project, try making your own Kahlua at home. This easy to follow recipe produces a rich, velvety coffee-flavored elixir that is the main ingredient of drinks such as White Russians, Mudslides and Chunky Monkeys. Kahlua is also a delicious "on the rocks" drink, whether straight over ice or topped off with a little half-and-half cream. (From ehow.com)
Ingredients Nutrition
- 2 cups water
- 1 1⁄2 cups dark brown sugar
- 1 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 cup instant coffee
- 1 3⁄4 liters high quality vodka
- 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
- 1 whole vanilla bean
- Combine the brown sugar, granulated sugar and water in a small sauce pan. Simmer for 10 to 15 minutes until sugar is dissolved.
- Remove from the heat. Stir in the coffee. Allow to cool completely.
- Pour into a large plastic container with a lid. Add the vodka, vanilla flavoring and vanilla bean.
- Cover and let stand for two to three weeks or until fully aged. Kahlua, when properly stored, can last safely for up to a few years.
Most Helpful
10 stars for sure! This was a very very good, cheaper substitute for the more expensive authentic Kahlua coffee liqueur. Tested as a single shot, the adults in my family knew the real versus the homemade (most likely because the homemade was just a smidgeon less smooth than the real Kahlua....but apparently not enough to matter, because everyone asked for more!) But when tasting the various cocktails, my family was all over the page regarding which cocktails had the real and which had the homemade Kahlua. I left it to age 2 weeks exactly, and that seemed just right. Thanks for posting such a wonderful recipe, Motivated Mama. It's a definite "keeper". Tagged for the New Kids On The Block tag game, Jan 2009.
Wow! This tastes exactly like "real" kahlua!! I used Smirnoff vodka, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract (I couldn't get whole vanilla beans). It still has to age for 2 weeks, but it already tastes amazing! I'll come back and let you know what I think again after the two weeks are up! I'll definaly be making this again!!

AT&T Reports Q3 Profit Down Slightly, Revenue Up
Revenue is up in the first partial quarter since AT&T acquired DirecTV in July. The revenue gain is largely due to the acquisition.AT&T, which acquired DirecTV in July as it reshapes itself into a broader provider of business and consumer services, earned a $3.08 billion net profit in the third quarter of 2015 ended Sept. 30, while also posting $39.1 billion in consolidated revenue, which is up about 19 percent from one year ago largely due to the acquisition. That net profit is slightly lower than the $3.19 billion reported for the same quarter one year ago, according to figures the company reported after the stock market closed on Oct. 22. AT&T reported diluted earnings per share of 50 cents for the quarter, down from 60 cents per share paid one year ago for the same quarter. Revenue from postpaid and prepaid consumer wireless customers combined was $8.78 billion, down from $9.2 billion for the third quarter one year ago. Postpaid customer revenue totaled $5.53 billion of that, while prepaid revenue totaled $1.2 billion.
AT&T reported 54.8 million mobile subscribers for the end of the quarter, down from 56.1 million one year ago. Total customer churn was 1.33 percent, which is up slightly from 1.2 percent posted one year ago.

On Saturday, Oct. 26 at the Disability Empowerment Center artists with disabilities will be showcasing their art at an event sponsored by the Arizona Spinal Cord Injury Association.
The event is meant to showcase the talents of artists throughout the community. Works on display will also be for sale. There will be a silent auction, a raffle, barbecue, and live music.
It's a fundraiser for the Arizona Spinal Cord Injury Association. The goal of the event is to "promote the creative ability of people with disabilities," said Ahwatukee resident Donna Powers, vice president of the Arizona Spinal Cord Injury Association.
All proceeds will go to the Arizona Spinal Cord Association's various community programs and services.
Artists featured at the event are different ages and use different mediums. There will be sculptors and painters and artists range in age from 6 to 70, Powers said.
Powers herself is a featured artist, who will be showcasing her mouth stick art. Powers started her art in rehabilitation after a motorcycle accident 25 years ago to try to make her new limitations more positive.
"I have always been creative and artistic," Powers said. "Writing with my mouth, it was one of the things that drove home that you had a disability."
Powers now makes greeting cards and paintings. Her subjects are usually flowers and hummingbirds.
Another artist featured is Kirk O'Hara, who has become a very successful artist.
"I used to value very little and I took a lot for granted, today I hang my life on loving principles, it simplifies my choices, minimizes pain and opens doorways for me to receive love," he said in a press release.
"I paint mostly things that I like, things in my environment and things that I spiritually feel," O'Hara continued. "A lot of it is from my environment in the Southwest and some of it is spiritual in nature."
One of the more interesting pieces will be from the artist Indu, a 47-year-old rescued Asian Elephant who paints with her trunk. Her paintings will be in the raffle, which includes a backstage tour of the elephant facilities at the Phoenix Zoo.
Powers said the fundraiser is aimed at promoting awareness of spinal cord injury and connecting people through art.
"We want to be able to connect the people or artists with the community as a whole," Powers said. "Art touches everyone because a person has a disability doesn't mean they can't be artistic."
Admission to the art show is free at the Disability Empowerment Center, 5025 E. Washington St. in Phoenix. The event will go from 1 to 5 p.m.
For more information or to donate, go to azspinal.org. For additional information about the event, email email@example.com or call (602) 507-4209.

Bathroom Renovations: A look at lighting
There are a lot of things to consider when planning your bathroom renovation. You may be focusing on adding a new shower or vanity. Perhaps your attention is on repainting or updating the flooring. The question is, have you given much thought to your bathroom lighting? (more…)

From the figures below, you should be able to figure just about any
conversion you might need.
1 liter = 0.264 gal (3.785 liter = 1 gal), gal is 4 quarts,
1 liter = 1.057 qt (0.946 liter = 1 qt) each quart is 32 oz, 1 liter = 1000
1 liter = 33.81 oz (0.0296 liter = 1 oz = 29.57 milliliters)
1 ml = 0.03381 oz
so 1 cup = 8 oz = 236.56 ml
so 1 pint = 16 oz = 473.12 ml
so 1 qt = 32 oz = 946.24 ml'
The one I always remember is that 1 once is about 29 milliliters.

|Re: [TRANSLATION][3.4.1]: update Pootle server to include new string for a new warning box
|Wed, 04 Jul 2012 07:24:03 GMT
Hi, sorry for my top post, but it is a reply to this complete thread. That is really cool what is happening here regarding translation. Jürgen sent out out a request and 8 hours later already a lot of the requested translations are done. I have to express how motivating such an experience is. Keep on going, I will try to follow such kind of behavior. Best regards, Oliver.
