CloseDunder Casino was only established in early 2016 by Malta company MT SecureTrade Limited, which also runs various other highly rated casinos such as Betspin, Rizk and Guts. The site offers more than 600 exciting online casino games and is regulated in the UK by the Gambling Commission.
Those looking to be rewarded even before they play casino games on their chosen site will find Dunder Casino more than satisfying, not least thanks to its generous welcome package, worth �600 and 200 free spins over a user's first three deposits. Both the deposit bonuses and the winnings from free spins are subject to a 25 times wagering requirement.
For many people, the best online casino games are live ones, and Dunder Casino doesn't disappoint in this regard, serving up exciting live variants of roulette, blackjack, baccarat and casino hold'em. The renowned Evolution Gaming provides the software for every live game here, so you can look forward to dazzlingly realistic action as well as - of course - glamorous dealers! Sign up now to see for yourself.
Putting down money for gambling games at Dunder Casino couldn't be quicker or easier, with both cards and e-wallets able to be used. That said, we wouldn't have minded seeing a broader range of options.
Withdrawal can be requested via bank transfer and the site is already attracting a reputation for fast payouts, with one early user commenting that their "withdrawal was processed in under four hours.
Given its whopping offering of more than 600 games, it's fair to say that Dunder Casino already boasts one of the widest ranges of casino games online, with slots, blackjack and roulette all available. The site is especially strong in the former of those three categories, with the likes of Spinions, The Rift, Starburst and Gonzo's Quest among the site's most popular probability casino games. Add a few intriguing branded titles like Bullseye and Guns N' Roses, and you've got a pretty strong selection of stimulating games to get your teeth into.
Although Dunder Casino lacks a dedicated mobile app, it's still a fine proposition for those looking to play casino games on a smaller screen, thanks to its specially optimised site. Popular slot games like Book of Dead, Fire Joker and Aloha! Cluster Pays look and play as well on a smartphone as they do on desktop.
The site itself may look a little plain, but it's also very easy to understand and get around. A vast range of software providers powers the site's paid and free casino games, including Play'n GO, NetEnt, NextGen Gaming and Microgaming - in short, a who's who of the most respected in the industry. In-game graphics are generally colourful but not overwhelmingly so, while the gaming action is pleasingly swift.
Bad news first - there's no phone contact option. However, the site does boast comprehensive FAQs and information on how to email or directly chat with the team online. The response to chat requests is typically immediate, while you may need to wait a few hours for an email reply.
Perhaps unsurprisingly for such a new site, Dunder Casino doesn't have a VIP or loyalty scheme in place at the time of typing. With the site's range of bonuses and promos looking a little thin right now, such a programme would surely be a welcome addition.
Dunder Casino ensures fairness in its games through the use of certified random number generators that are approved and certified by independent third parties. The site also uses encryption technology to keep your personal details secure, while all deposited funds are kept in a separate bank account.
Those seeking the best UK casino games online will find a large proportion of them at Dunder Casino, which also impresses by virtue of its exceptional customer support. However, its range of promos and bonuses admittedly isn't the strongest right now. Register now to sample Dunder Casino for yourself!

The Museum of North Texas History And Wichita County Archives 720 Indiana - Wichita Falls, Texas |
The Museum of North Texas History is continuing to raise funds for the Western Room. The area will not only be for "Nat's Hats" collection (all five hundred of them) but will also be a Western Room featuring early ranching artifacts. Currently the Museum is displaying a horse-drawn buggy, Joe Bridwell's saddle, a collection of barbed wire, a chuck box and a side saddle. Also, in this collection is the jewelry box made from the hoof of a stolen Waggoner Ranch horse. The stolen horse, used in the robbery of the City National Bank in 1898, was killed in the "get-a-way" as was the bank teller. The robbers were apprehended, hanged and are buried at Riverside Cemetery in Wichita Falls, Texas. Nat Fleming was in business in Wichita Falls, Texas selling boots and hats to cowboys in North Texas for 54 years. And when you bought a new hat, you could leave the old one and it was hung on the wall along with all the others… some famous, some not so famous. Now after closing The Cow Lot Western Wear store, this wonderful collection will be preserved at the Museum of North Texas History. You can tell by looking that Nat Fleming is proud of these hats, and we're proud to help preserve their wonderful history. And you can help by making a contribution today to help build the room to display them. Please help us reach our goal of $40,000 and keep Nat's Hats at the Museum of North Texas History. The Oil Exhibit relives both the modern and glory day of the Oil Boom in North Texas. |

The reason my name is "KoKo" (THE SIAMESE ON RIGHT) ..couldn't get the jpg...to do the indivdual photo of SIAMESE. BUT..ANYWAY.....
This is MY KOKO..."Look ALIKE" ..... (I know...but I joined DU when I was early to Internet and signed in under my Male Cat's Name..never changed it.) Anyway he passed away this past April and before him there was Another Beloved Siamese. Whatever... MIKE MALLOY RULES....! |

10. We are a Siamese Family.......
Just saying...that that's why my name that I picked when I joined DU in 2001...is KOKO..
It sound so silly today that I would have certainly picked a more sophisticated name or a series of numbers or symbols. Just saying...I'VE ALWAYS BEEN who I am...no socks, name changes after elections...whatever. It's the Lillian Jackson Braun's Mystery Series...about the two Siamese. I know...why pick such a name. ... I didn't know what DU WAS...it was a Start Up and I was new to Internet..and so very unsophisticated. I had no idea I'd spend about 12 years on this place...so KoKo...it stayed..... But, it's a tribute to my Siamese we've had who've passed on. Whatever.....BACK TO MIKE MALLOY! |

13. My first Meezer was a Seal Point kitten named Yum Yum and her brother, KoKo, who was
Mom's special boy, who came to live with us on my 6th birthday, June 20, 1961 when they were 7 weeks old. Yum Yum was my best friend until I lost her to cancer when I was a sophomore in college. We lost KoKo to renal failure that year too.

11. Here's the closing segment of last night's show
Basically about the corporate media not scrutinizing Obama's nominee for CIA director (John O. Brennan) enough about Bush-era torture of detainees. And a personal story about how WLS management pressured Malloy to dumb down his late-night show. |

15. Seriously...I have to go to "RT" or the Guardian to find any "in depth info" about Brennan
and while some on DU have tried to post Common Dreams articles about what a questionable pick Brennan is for Obama (DEM) even they are not even read by folks here so that there doesn't seem to be interest amongst fellow Dems about these issues of WAR/DRONES/Wall Street Criminality ...on the Table for Discussion, anymore.

16. Indeed. + the opening segment of last night's show
(I'm uploading the shows during commercial breaks lol)
In the opening segment Mike criticized the media's non stop discussion of how Obama's cabinet picks weren't diverse enough and scrutinized the records of Jack Lew and John O. Brennan. Mike read/commented on Salon.com article "Jack Lew's union-busting past". |

London, July 1946. A woman's body is found in a disused bomb site off the Holloway Road.
She is identified as Lillian Frobisher, "a respectable wife and mother" who lived with her family nearby. The police assume that Lillian must have been the victim of a sexual assault; but when the autopsy finds no evidence of rape, they turn their attention to her private life - How did she come to be in the bomb site, a well-known lovers' haunt?
Why was her husband seemingly unaware that she'd failed to come home on the night she was killed? In this deeply evocative crime drama, Sian Busby strips away the veneer of stoicism and respectability in post-war Britain to reveal a society riven with disillusionment and loss.

Hip Pain in a Child: Myositis or Appendicitis Andaleeb Raja MD Muhammad Waseem MD Husayn Al-Husayni MD Lincoln Medical & Mental Health Center Bronx, New York
Case Presentation 11 year old boy presenting with fever & hip pain for 2 days Denied abdominal pain, vomiting or change in bowel habits Denied knee pain or history of trauma/falls Denied recent travel or sick contacts Denied family history of joint disease Discharged home after Hip X rays were negative and initial labs were reviewed
Pelvis X-Ray
Labs WBC 11,200/mm with 74% Neutrophils ESR 5 mm/hr CRP 15.51 mg/L (0.25-3.0) Blood Culture: Gram (+) cocci in clusters
Case Presentation Recalled to the ER the next day –Blood cultures - Gram (+) cocci in clusters Still c/o fever, but now walking with a limp Described right hip and groin pain Pain was constant in nature, "sharp & achy" Pain was exacerbated when he walked He was unable to walk without being supported

Radiology Plain film Pelvis with Right hip – normal on previous visit Non-contrast CT scan hip/Lower abdomen –Inflamed tip of the appendix with mild peri- appendiceal fluid
CT Scan Hip
Learning Objectives Understanding the atypical presentation of acute appendicitis in children Recognize pyomyositis as a rare but important etiology to be considered in patient with hip pain and fever Review of the differential diagnoses of hip pain in children
Case Discussion Appendicitis is a difficult diagnosis in children as it may have an atypical presentation Classic symptoms are often not seen Can lead to misdiagnosis High morbidity/mortality Pathophysiology in children may be different due to the change in anatomic location Inability to walk/walking with limp reported to be a significant finding 1/4 of patients may present with a limp or right hip stiffness
Case Discussion Pyomyositis - Rare –Hip pain, limp, fever –Uncommon infectious process involving skeletal muscle –Caused by pus producing bacteria (staph aureus most frequently involved) This patient had (+) staph aureas in Blood cultures –CK may remain normal, while ESR and CRP are usually elevated Child had normal CK but elevated CRP, leukocytosis –CT can be used to identify and localize the abscess No abscess was seen on CT –Large muscle groups (thigh) are likely targets –Correct diagnosis is based on high index of suspicion –Important to recognize to reduce morbidity/mortality associated with the condition
Differential Diagnosis Transient Synovitis –Most common cause of hip pain in children –Consider in absence of trauma history –Self limiting –Usually more frequent in boys –Important to distinguish between this and septic arthritis, which requires drainage and antibiotics
Differential Diagnosis Slipped Capital Femoral Epiphysis –Present with limp or vague thigh/hip pain –Typically involves obese children Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease –Avascular necrosis of femoral head –Pain localized to hip, limping –Plain films may show epiphyseal fragmentation –MRI more sensitive
Differential Diagnosis Psoas Muscle Abscess –Relatively rare in children –Vague symptoms because of the posterior location of the psoas mucle –Classic symptoms: limp with fever and abdominal pain –Blood cultures often positive –Physical Exam: psoas cannot be examined easily (deep structure) –Psoas sign: pain when the hip is passively extended or actively flexed against resistance Attributed to inflammation causing spasm of psoas muscle
Differential Diagnosis Pelvic Osteomyelitis –Rare but should be considered in a child who presents with hip pain –MRI should be obtained in presence of suspicion

Question A 12 year old male presented to the ED with a 2 day history of fever and right hip pain. He was noted to be limping on arrival. He denied any history of trauma. Abdominal physical examination findings revealed no guarding, but there was minimal tenderness in the right lower quadrant. Laboratory evaluation revealed a WBC 15.2. Hip radiographs were normal. What is the next best step in his management? a)Admit for observation b)Joint aspiration c)CT scan abdomen and pelvis d)Pelvic ultrasound e)Administer a dose of IV antibiotics, then discharge home with 24-hour follow up
Answer - C Because of the varied location of the appendix, the presentation of pain in a patient with acute appendicitis can be diverse. A patient with a low lying appendix can present with hip pain without significant abdominal findings. It is important to include appendicitis in the differential diagnosis of hip pain. If the diagnosis is delayed, appendicitis is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. A computed tomography of the abdomen and pelvis is the imaging modality of choice.

Although graffiti and street art are different games, with different practitioners and audiences, both are often perceived by the general public as parts of the same thing. This text looks at the earliest cases in both currents to investigate the aspects that define and separate them, and also offers a brief introduction to the illegal street work that founded the career of French artist Daniel Buren.

BFTB NETWoof News February 20 2017
Bentley: "Hello and welcome to BFTB NETWoof News for the week of February 20, 2017. We have fetched some great stories for you so let's get right to it. Pierre, what is our top story?"
Pierre: "This might be my favorite story of 2017 and our pet parents will probably agree. BrewDog, a Scottish brewery is now offering new pet parents a week of paid leave. You read that correctly, all of their employees are allowed to take off to help bond with their new puppies or rescued dogs. They even call it a "paw-ternity" benefit, how great is that? BrewDog is going to open a brewery near Columbus, Ohio this spring. Don't you think other companies should adopt this policy?"
Bentley: "I love this idea because new puppies need extra attention in order to settle into a new home. Speaking of homes, this next report had us shaking our heads instead of our tails. A man in Meridian, Idaho has a pet squirrel named Joey that can now be referred to as a bonafide guard squirrel! His home was robbed and when the police found the suspect, he was covered with scratches. The thief reported that the man's squirrel kept attacking him until he left. It does pain me to have to say this, but way to be awesome, Joey!"
Pierre: "You know this has no effect on my constant chasing the squirrels in our backyard, right? We enjoy a good love story as much as any news outlet and when it involves pets that make it extra sweet. Let me explain. A couple who met on the dating app Tinder discovered they had more in common than swiping right or left. After dating, they discovered that their cats were actually brothers! They had adopted them as kittens from the same shelter and have now reunited the siblings. We hope that they all live happily ever after."
Bentley: "We want to remind everyone of some special holidays this week. In addition to today being President's Day, it is also Love Your Pet Day. You'll want to get some extra hugs and kisses with your best friend in addition to spending quality time with them. Go ahead and mark your calendar for February 22 for Walking the Dog Day and Thursday the 23rd is International Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day. It is a great week to be a dog!
Let's check in with Paisley, our ace Weather Lab to see if the weather is going to cooperate. How's it looking out there?"
Paisley: "Hey fellas! It is going to be another wet one for the west coast. I wish I could give my friends like Ruby a sunnier forecast but California and the rest of the coast are still going to be getting rain. Don't feel too bad about it, though, the northern states and some of the east coast will be rainy too. Our friends in Utah and Colorado will experience more snow as will many of the northernmost states. The middle of the country will be breezy and quite nice. The south will be sunny and warm except for Florida where they will have hot temperatures but cloudy skies. As always, tune to your local weather stations for the latest updates and warnings.
It doesn't matter whether it is raining or the sun is shining, be sure to celebrate the special holidays with your best friend. We all love the attention and do I really have to explain how important the Dog Biscuit Appreciation Day is to us? Paw-ty on, my friends!"
Bentley: "I'm sure you will get plenty of dog treats to celebrate, Paisley. We are wishing biscuits, walks and extended belly rubs for all of our pet pals.
This will be another great week on Barking from the Bayou so make sure that you stop by each day. It is also easy to keep track of us on social media. We are on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, and Instagram. Feel free to share BFTB NETWoof News with your friends because everyone deserves some good news in their day. As for you, go out and grab yourself some happy!"

This week we bottled the 2014 vintage of Deliverance, our flagship dry red blend. Deliverance has been with us from the beginning – it was a wine I've always wanted to make and a wine that I'm consistently proud of. There are plenty of things I love about Deliverance: the nose consistently has aromas of strawberry jam that I love, the acid is always tight and refreshing, etc. But on of the things I'm most proud of, and most stand behind, is the name.
Deliverance the wine is, unapologetically, named for the movie. For those unfamiliar, Deliverance was a 1972 film starring Burt Reynolds and Jon Voight based on the 1970 novel by Georgia native (and poet laureate) James Dickey. The movie was critically well received, heralded by reviewers and critics as a unflinching examination of ideas of masculinity and man vs. nature.
The trope of "man vs. nature" can be traced throughout film history, up to and including 2015's The Revenant. What makes this trope problematic in Deliverance is Dickey's and director Jon Boorman's conception of the inhabitants of this dangerous wilderness as a part of nature, rather than a part of humanity. The residents of Deliverance's fictionalized North Georgia community are portrayed as animals – communicating in accents that could pass for growls, living in shacks that resembled doghouses. Boorman draws no distinction between the inhabitants of the community and the animals that exist in its wilderness. Indeed in what may be Deliverance's climactic scene (and definitely the scene most associated with the film), the inhabitants are portrayed as animals to their very sexuality, with an assault scene staged with animalistic grunts and the famous "squeal like a pig" line. This scene was so memorable, and Deliverance such a widespread cultural phenomenon, that the North Georgia mountains were tarnished by this depiction for decades.
Of course, this portrayal of Appalachian culture was nothing new. Indeed, the portrayal of Appalachians as uncivilized outsiders has a long history in the United States, and is often deployed in order to exploit the natural resources and land controlled by "hillbillies." This was perhaps most blatantly shown in the annexation of over 500 families' homes to form what is today Shenandoah National Park. The park commission argued to Congress that annexing this land and relocating the families would be doing them a favor, describing the inhabitants as "Steeped in ignorance, wrapped in self-satisfaction and complacency, possessed of little or no ambition, little sense of citizenship, little comprehension of law, or respect for law, these people present a problem that demands and challenges the attention of thinking men and women…" The motion was passed and 500 families were evicted from their land, now a park accessible to paying tourists from nearby Washington, D.C. We still see this exploitation today, though perhaps not as blatantly, with mountaintop removal coal mining, the rural drug epidemic, and the spiralling cycles of poverty that still grip many Appalachian communities.
In 2009, when we first planted Hightower Creek Vineyards, I was living in Boston. When I would tell peers that I was from Hiawassee, Georgia in the North Georgia Mountains, they would invariably respond with the familiar "Dueling Banjos" theme. It was the first time I had felt that my origins played a role in how I was perceived – as if I was seen as a "hillbilly" first and myself second. I was studying literature at the time, specifically postcolonial literature – the ways in which colonized people resisted their colonizers and formed distinct identity through writing. I began to identify more and more with postcolonial strategies of resistance, of reclaiming and subverting stereotypes to undermine the hegemonic culture's beliefs and legitimacy.
I carried this back to Georgia with me, and remembered this when Deliverance was suggested as the name of one of our wines. Deliverance – a word that had so many connotations in rural North Georgia, that had defined a generation of mountain residents as depraved and uncivilized – would be our flagship red, a wine that I hoped could compete toe-to-toe with wines from more established wine regions. Each time a guest tastes Deliverance and remarks "I had no idea that wines like this were being made in this area," it's a victory for us, replacing a negative connotation of Deliverance with a positive one and allowing us to tell the area's story on our own terms.
Deliverance is still a fraught term, and the film's cultural impact is exponentially wider than our wines can reach. However, it's been 44 years since that film was released. It's time for us to reclaim Deliverance as our own and take responsibility for defining our region for ourselves.

A member of the Redmond School Board says she doesn't think it's necessary to change hiring policy to prevent anyone with an arrest record from working for the school district. Board Vice-Chair Cathy Miller made the comment in response to a question about former Redmond High Principal Brian Lemos. The question, from Dennis Dorgan, asked the Board what they were doing to prevent a recurrence of the Lemos situation. An article in the Bulletin says Lemos was fired for what the District described only as "misconduct and performance issues." Miller says she reached that conclusion after consulting with three of the school district's attorneys.

Calgary condo parking limits are backwards
We're currently in the market for a new place to live. We have a rental condo and are looking to either purchase a condo or build an infill somewhat near downtown. We like walking to work, and we like the atmosphere of downtown living.
The hottest new project in Calgary is the East Village. We stopped in on the weekend and had a great talk with the developers of the first two condos going up: Evolution and First.
They both had some cool layouts, decent prices, and it looks like the projects are going to end up being pretty great. At the end of each discussion I asked how many parking spots we got with the condo purchase and both said the same thing: 1. We have two cars, one is a sedan and I use it to drive to work and around town, the other is a wagon that we use for ski trips, camping trips, etc. We need two parking spots for our cars. First said that we MIGHT be able to get a second spot, for $20k, and that it would be a tandem with one car in front of the other. That would be a massive pain in the butt. Evolution said that they couldn't guarantee an extra spot at all but that there might be one available for purchase once all condos were sold.
There is a bylaw in Calgary stating that downtown condos can have a maximum of 0.85 parking spaces per unit. This means that some units get 0 spots and the rest get 1. This is completely unacceptable for some purchasers and will end up driving them to the suburbs instead, adding to the traffic problem that this bylaw was probably intending to reduce.
People that live downtown:
- Usually walk to work
- If they drive to work they are driving against rush hour
- Are not contributing to urban sprawl
- Even if you have multiple cars per person you aren't driving more than one at a time
It just seems backwards to push people into houses which defeats the purpose of this bylaw. In my opinion, everything possible should be done to encourage people to live in higher density areas like condos. This regulation does the opposite.
I heard one reason that they can't have more is because people might rent them to people commuting to downtown. An easy solution to that is to disallow the rental of a parking space in a building that you aren't a resident. Similar to how you can't park on a street that you don't live on in some neighbourhoods.
I honestly can't see a reason why this law should exist. Can somebody explain it to me? All I know is that my choice is now simple and that I will be going the infill route and contributing to Calgary's traffic issues like the rest of the city.

Have recently purchased a petrol strimmer - how do I replace the pull start cord.
Many thanks.
SOURCE: Strimmer Line
rotate the starter pulley by hand. You should feel the spring getting tight. Once the pulley is slightly tensioned, usually 5-10 turns, release the pulley and let is pull the string onto the pulley. You may have to add some tension to get all the rope to wind on the pulley.

SOURCE: Starting problem with a Ryobi rlt30ces petrol strimmer
I have had the similar problem & spent a day stripping the unit down
(dismantled & re-assembled the carb, seemed OK fuel reaching & flooding the plug) I unscrewed the spark plug from the body, but left it connected to the lead and found that there was intermittent spark when pulling the cord. and tested it with a continuity meter - no signal/measurement. bought a new spark plug, meter reading showed signal/measurement, now starts every time. It may be that Ryobi has been installing rather cheap nasty plugs. So test the plug first by watching the spark when pulling cord, test with a meter, if no continuity, buy new plug....
Check also that little gauze air filter behind the roto choke is not blocked.
this solved it for me.

SOURCE: how do I replace the pull cord on a ryobi #ss30 weed trimmer
You need a long skinny T25 torque driver (sold in a pack at Lowe's with 3 other sizes.)
Take off the 4 screws in the back to reveal the piston. Get a wooden dowel (or a wooden spoon if your wife isn't around) and stick it in to the piston to block it from spinning.
Now take that T25 and stick it in to the front pulley (cone shaped silver item that is preventing the housing from coming off) turn to the left and it should come off.
That should come off to reveal about a 1"x1.5" piece with a spring wrapped around it. That can also turn to the left and come off with an adjustable wrench or pliers.
Once that is off the housing should come away and you'll be able to get at the pull cord after removing 4 more T25 screws.

If your petrol has been sitting in the machine for a long time then yes it is your petrol. Mix a new batch usually you cannot let that sit around for more than 30 days, I always try to use fresh mixes, usually that means making smaller batches unless you use your trimmer quite a bit, most people do not though and that's when problems arise.

Tanya Donelly has been making music for more than twenty years. As a founding member of Throwing Muses and the Breeders as well as Belly's frontwoman, she has offered a great deal of compelling and critically respected work. Since disbanding Belly in 1996, she has recorded as a solo artist, taking five years off between her solo debut, Lovesongs for Underdogs, and 2002's Beautysleep. Her songwriting is always marked by fairytale-esque lyrical imagery and smart, dreamy guitar work. But the one consistent factor throughout Donelly's career has been that each new project differs markedly from her previous one. And Whiskey Tango Ghosts, Donelly's third solo release, manages to wear Donelly's trademarks and still sound completely unlike anything she has previously released.
Donelly is joined here by Elizabeth Steen on piano and Wurlitzer; Rich Gilbert on pedal steel and Nashville guitar; husband Dean Fisher on guitar/bass/percussion; and former Throwing Muses bandmate Dave Narcizo on drums, but the album sounds quiet and minimal. It lacks the hook-heavy but over-polished pop songs found on Lovesongs for Underdogs and the satisfied strangeness of Beautysleep, instead exploring folk and country influences and eschewing the electric guitar. Donelly's voice is, as always, devastatingly pretty without being precious, and it's nice to hear it as the centerpiece of this album.
Whiskey Tango Ghosts songs are lovely, especially "Divine Sweet Divide" and "Golden Mean," both which feature warm, rich piano lines, and the delicate "My Life as a Ghost." "The Center" is the only song containing anything that resembles a hook, and the softness of Whiskey Tango Ghosts is almost overwhelming. I was left wishing for a couple of dark but infectious songs in the vein of Beautysleep or either of Belly's albums.
But we already know Donelly can compose harder-edged and poppier songs -- her songwriting contributions to Throwing Muses's records showed us that long ago. She doesn't have to prove that here. Coming from a less accomplished songwriter, Whiskey Tango Ghosts might seem too homogeneous; coming from Donelly, it's an unexpected but successful experiment.

The musical duties are split up as follows:
More recently, the original Lou Reed version of "Perfect Day" was used by the NFL during the 2000 football season in promotional spots that aired on television during the game broadcasts. The commercials intercut home movie-like scenes of parents playing football with their kids with NFL Films footage of plays that looked similar to the backyard version.
The effect was, of course, extremely sentimental and nostalgic and didn't make the viewer think about heroin at all.
These spots were part of a series of film set to music that also included Ani DiFranco's "32 Flavors" and a re-lyriced version of Eminem's "My Name Is Joe."

Two More Bodies Burned Alive
From a note in Diario (click here): Two charred bodies were found by law enforcement officials moments after a group of armed men removed two men from a vehicle, poured gasoline on them, and lit a match in Col Independencia II, near the railroad tracks. Witnesses said they could smell gasoline and heard a vehicle zoom off, and could hear the victims, who were still alive as they tried to put out the fire.

Tom Berge Uses Google Earth To Steal $140,000 Worth Of Lead
Tom Berge received an 8 month suspended jail term for stealing lead from the roofs of buildings. He actually used Google Earth to identify which buildings in the area use lead. He retrieved lead from museums, churches, schools, etc. He stole lead from the Honeywood Museum in Carshalton, Sutton High School for Girls, and Croydon Parish Church in London.
"He could tell the lead roofs apart on Google Earth as they were slightly darker than normal," stated a friend of Berge. Berge was arrested in February and received his sentence last week.
While Google Earth has its fair share of crime uses, it also has a number of uses that are made to solve crimes. In late January, police in Switzerland were able to discover a marijuana plantation using the software.

The New and Improved Google Docs
Google isn't just busy tinkering with its search engine algorithm. In fact, the search engine giant actually made significant updates in its Google Docs service – a news that went largely under the radar.
In the official Google Docs blog, the company announced that it added new web fonts to its system. Thanks to this update, end users can now use 450 different fonts in making their Google documents. That's right, you can now choose from typefaces (with some weird monikers) like Happy Monkey, Dyna Light, Lobster One and Nova Slim – a pretty cool way to get your message across in a creative and captivating manner.
It can be remembered that Google Docs' font selection was limited to standard ones like Georgia, Arial, Times New Roman, Verdana and Comic Sans just to name a few – not the perfect ones to to use if you want to make a copy that easily jumps out of the page. However, with the update that the company made in its document service, you now have a sea of font options that will suit the type of project you have in mind.
Google does not automatically give you all the 450 fonts, though. Instead, you can pick each one individually, giving you more freedom to choose which ones suit your taste and your project. All you have to is go to the "Fonts" menu in the toolbar, scroll to the bottom and click on "Add Fonts." Then simply choose the fonts you wish to add in your main menu and click the "X" if you would to remove any font that you have no plans of using. Pretty cool, huh!
Other Creative Additions
Aside from the new web fonts, Google also made a suit of creative updates on its Google Docs service, which include the following:
- 60 new templates were added and can be accessed in its template gallery
- launching of Google drive where users can create, share, store and collaborate their docs
- Additional options for inserting images in documents, which include inserting from Google Drive, image search from LIFE photo archive, and the ability to take snapshots using webcam.
- Charts in the spreadsheets now support minor gridlines and customization of axis label formats.
- Docs accessibility is now made better with the addition of support for screenreaders used for presentations as well as the inclusion of NVDA in its list of supported screenreaders.
- Default page size can now be tailored according to the user's preference from file > page setup.
- Different app script improvements.
What the Changes meant for Users
Of course, businesses and end users can simply get away with using standard typefonts and bland files when making their documents over at Google Docs. However, with the creative additions that this document service now feature, creating presentations and documents, whether they be comic books or wedding invitations, gets more innovative and interesting for both business people, students and regular users alike.

Just tried to download Excel spreadsheet for 1st time but can't open it. Do I need separate programs to use Excel and Word, if so, which one is best? TimmiAndi
Hi TimmiAndi - welcome to the forum! Quoted below are the specs from Apple for the file formats that can be opened by the iPad as mail attachments - Word & Excel files are included, so if you are sent these files as attacments to an email, then the iPad should be able to at least open them for viewing - now if you want to open these files in an app for editing, then that is a different matter, i.e. you will need specific programs, such as those in iWork (Pages & Numbers) for that purpose - I'll stop there and please respond for further advise - Dave
To add to what giradman says (another way to try to open the file): if you have received an Excel file as an attachment and it won't open when you tap it, press and hold the file. A pop-up should appear (the "Open In" window). One of the options is "Quick View." Pressing that should make the Excel file open in your Mail app. You won't be able to edit it, but at least you can view it. Marilyn
Thanks, I brought Pages and am trying to get to grips with it after using MS for 20 years - how do I change the name of an existing document.
In the documents "library" view.... ... Tap on the document name to open the document name edit box. HTH Richard Sent from my iPad using iPF

I was over at Lauren's Lastest a while back when I saw this delicious looking garlic cheesy bread. This thing screams out that it needs to be made, am I right or am I right?
The original recipe calls for bread flour, but you know what? You can make your own bread flour! "For every 1 cup of bread flour that you need: Place 1 tablespoon of vital wheat gluten into a 1 cup measuring cup. Then top it up to 1 cup with all purpose flour. Dump this out into a bowl and whisk together until well combined" (Quote from Cooking with Alison). So make your own bread and cake flours from now on, okay? Okay!
The original recipe also uses store bought garlic butter, but I'm too lazy (and cheap) to go buy some garlic butter, so we're going to make our own. Yay! I got the recipe from this really shady looking site named Garlic Butter Recipe. I'm sure that means their recipe is totally legit.
1 cup warm water (about 100 F, not Celsius!)
1 Tablespoon Honey
1 envelope Active Dry Yeast (2 1/4 Teaspoons)
1 teaspoon Salt
3 cups Bread Flour
Olive Oil, For Greasing Surfaces
⅓ pounds Sharp Cheddar
Garlic Butter:
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Pinch of ground black pepper
Pinch of ground paprika
1. In a large bowl, stir water, honey and yeast together. Let yeast proof 5 minutes. Once you know yeast is active (when it's all bubbly and puffy), stir in salt and the flour in 1/4 cup increments. I didn't bother using a mixer, so I used a spoon to mix.
This is the yeast mixture right after being mixed.
This is when the yeast is active and all puffy.
This is the dough right after it came together.
2. Once the dough comes together, let it rest for 5 minutes. Come back and knead the dough until your hands are super super tired. The dough should be smooth and tacky, but not sticky (as in does not stick to your fingers). Grease a bowl with some olive oil and roll the dough around in it so that the ball of dough is also greased up. Cover with plastic wrap or a kitchen towel and let rise 1 hour or until doubled in size. Keep it in a warm place like in a sun beam with kitty cats or an oven (that is off).
Right after lots of kneading. It's so smoooooooth!
I actually went away for like 4 hours so the dough's really really big!
3. While you're waiting for the dough to rise, make your garlic butter. In a small bowl, combine softened butter, minced garlic and parmesan cheese. Season with salt, Italian seasoning, pepper and paprika. Mix until smooth. I used fresh parmesan, not the dry Kraft stuff, but I'm sure it'll be fine with it too.
4. When the hour is up, check on your dough. Punch down dough and cut into two equal portions. Form into two long baguettes the length of the cookie sheet. Basically I just made the dough into an oval-ish shape and then wrung the two ends while pulling the dough apart slightly. This formed a nice even diameter shape for me and a nice twisty appearance.
5. Cover with plastic wrap and rise 30 minutes. Start to preheat oven to 400 degrees F and place dough close to the oven where it's nice and warm. Once oven is preheated, remove plastic wrap from the dough and reduce oven to 350F. Brush on a nice thick layer of the butter mixture, leaving enough for a second brush later. Put the bread into the oven and bake 30 minutes or until bread begins to turn a golden brown.
Brush brush brush.
I got this silicone brush from Daiso for $1.50!
The photo is colored really weirdly, sorry. :(
6. While the bread is baking, cut your cheese into thin slices and melt your garlic butter in the microwave.
7. Pull loaves of bread out of the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. Cut 1-inch slices 3/4′s of the the way through the loaves. Do not cut through the bread. Brush garlic butter in between each slice and fill with a slice of cheese. Bake another 3-5 minutes or until cheese is completely melted. Serve immediately.
Here's a close up of the bread after it was pulled from the oven the first time.
The bottom of the loaf, note that the slits did not go through the loaf.
The loaf when it's finished!
Close up!
The bread was really soft and I think it was well received!

CROWD FUNDING FOR BOLTS IN CUBA fundly.com/bolts-for-cuba-clim... Funding ends February 25th. Cuba is a premier climbing destination and is getting mega popular since USA and Cuba relations have thawed. Unfortunately it is impossible for Cubans to get gear locally. The goal of this crowdfunding is to provide the local climbing developers with hardware to keep existing climbing routes safe as well as develop new areas. Cuba has an almost limitless potential for great climbing and development. Donations will be used to purchase at least one drill, backup batteries, bits, glue, bolts and anchors. Gear will be delivered to Yarobys Garcia, the lead Cuban developer to maintain existing routes and to developing new areas. For more info on climbing in Cuba, check out cubaclimbing.com |

From the Associated Press: "The Obama administration, in a test of Castro regime's appetite for reform, is considering easing travel restrictions to Cuba, U.S. and congressional officials said Tuesday. ... Some in Congress have voiced oppositions to a further easing in the restrictions, which Obama loosened last year to allow Cuban-Americans to visit and send money to relatives on the island. The new changes would extend some of those provisions to a broader group of Americans and could expand direct flights to Cuba...." |

In case you might have missed it, there is a new article on Cuba in Rock & Ice. |
By Armando Menocal Jan 7, 2011 |
The article is called "Cuba Again Open to U.S. Climbers." And it shows that the U.S. government has abandoned enforcement of the travel ban to Cuba, and climbing in Cuba is now totally risk-free for American climbers. Obama's policy is non-enforcement - instead of changing the rules. Just no one has said so publicly - until now, as reported in latest article posted on cubaclimbing.com and rockandice.com. |

Two other casas which are highly recommended are Casa Campo (Calle Orlando Nodarse No.2) and Villa Las Bicarias (Salvador Cisnero #6 D). Both are incredibly welcoming, treat you like family, and serve great food. Casa Campo is a small family and Andres, the father, makes the best pina coladas ever tasted. Villa Las Bicarias is a fantasic 70 yr old couple and pure cubano. These two casas are two of the best in town. |

Does anyone know what the current situation is w climbing in Cuba? I understand some police/guards are cracking down on both foreign and local climbers? Is climbing still allowed and in which areas? Any beta would be greatly appreciated. Headed to Cuba in two days. |
By Sergey Dremin Jul 27, 2012 |
Just climbed in Vinales for a week. No problems with police. Saw multiple parties of local and foreign climbers. Absolutely no problems. Except, next time will go in the winter, as in the summer it is proper hot. |
By SonjaB From: Denver, CO Dec 3, 2012 |
Anyone planning a trip to Cuba in the near future, say end of December-beginning of January? I am dying to go but need travel/climbing partners! |
By Aquaman Dec 16, 2012 |
does anyone know if it is still status quo with climbing in Cuba right now after its been declared illegal, climbing around guards, climbing after 2pm and climbing in certain areas to avoid guards? Ive heard mixed reviews from a few folks but mostly it seems like its ok to climb, just a little more challenging for americanos.... |

2013 to be Quiet, Happy and Prosperous Year for Climbing in Cuba. The winter climbing season has commenced with less talk about the closure imposed by the government last year. The result is that this year the Viñales Valley is quiet, but as active as ever. The closure technically remains in place. Everyone is still climbing, having a great time, and developing new routes. No one has been cited or detained, merely asked to stop climbing, usually with an apology. Even this minimal enforcement is easily avoided. For a full report, see cubaclimbing.com |
By Armando Menocal Sep 13, 2014 |
The 2014-15 climbing season in Cuba is upon us and conditions are good for a killer year. More routes, in more areas. The Cuban climbing ban and U.S. travel embargo are following the same script: existing in name only and comatose. The so-called climbing closure has become a predictable, choreographed dance: the local officials pretend climbing is prohibited, and climbers pretend to obey. Everyone is happy. No one has ever been cited or had any type of punitive action. Those inadvertently caught climbing are asked politely to stop and move on. The so-called U.S embargo is also no more than symbolic. Everyone is going; no one is fined or penalized, even if caught or if you fess up when confronting U.S. immigration. All your confession gets you is, Next in line. As usual, CubaClimbing has gear to send to the Cuban climbers. Climbers who will be going to Cuba are asked to help take gear that has been donated by Climb X, Madrock, Marmot, Petzl, PrAna, and many individuals. The website CubaClimbing is temporarily down for updating. If going to Cuba and want to help or need info, write to firstname.lastname@example.com Ignore the Climbing Season graph on this page: June through September is Cubas rainy season. October through May is the best time to climb. |

Just got back from Cuba. What a fun adventure. A few things that would be useful to know before going. 1. You cannot get the Cuba Climbing guidebook in Cuba; buy it before you go. It is a great resource. 2. When we were there there was absolutely no evidence of a climbing ban. Unless things change, it's open. Don't sweat it. 3. American can now go to Cuba legally under a "general license" that does not require prior approval but travel must meet certain criteria. While a sport climbing vacation wouldn't meet these criteria, there might be some ways to do some service projects (or "people to people" or "promoting democratic ideas") and such while there that could allow you to go legally (see treasury.gov/resource-center/s.... Of course many Americans still go illegally as well, and although it does seem to be more common for folks to get their passports stamped now it also seems that enforcement is slim to none. 4. Bring some gear down to leave for the Cuban climbers. Don't bring them old junk. Seems like the thing they mostly need is glue-in bolts (titanium are best, but the Petzl Collinox are probably ok as well). If you speak any spanish you'll meet folks at the crags around Vinales for sure. Cubans are a very friendly bunch. 5. Do watch out for rusted bolts. There's plenty of good bolts and climbing that you can do without worry, but there are a lot of bolts that need replacing. If I were planning to go and stay for more than a week or two, I'd definitely bring gear to retrobolt and plan some time for that. There is a thriving Cuban climbing scene and definitely talk with the locals before pulling the drill out, but my impression is that there's lots of awesome routes there and there's lots more potential, and while the temptation would be to make your mark by putting up a sweet new route, I think that getting all the routes at the easily accessible crags close to town reequipped with good glue-ins before people start pulling them and decking is really what's needed. 6. Partially due to technology and partially due to not wanting to leave an obvious trail, it's difficult to get more money once in Cuba so most folks travel there with the money you plan to spend. That's a bit challenging, but overall our experience was that Cuba felt very safe. 7. Some of the coolest steep limestone tufa climbs anywhere. Very fun. |

Hola, Just returned from Cuba on Feb 17th. Got over to Vinales. Unfortunately, due to being sick, I got in only one really good day of climbing. Here's what I experienced. 1) I had not booked a casa particular to stay in. The town of Vinales was packed with Tourists. I was able to find a place to stay but I had to change my casa every night due to availability issues. I would recommend booking a casa in advance. I believe there are various web sites you can do this on plus I have info on a casa below. 2) When I got there I walked around the crags and ran into two Germans who had rented all their equipment including a rope from Raul (of Raul's farm) for about 10 CUC (equivalent approximately $10) per day. I checked out the gear and it seems in fine shape including the rope. They told me Raul had a room packed with shoes, harnesses, ropes, helmets, and draws. Probably the by product of foreign climbers leaving their gear behind. So if you show up with absolutely no gear you can still climb. 3) I didn't have a partner and I hardly saw anyone climbing. The crags were empty. Fortunately, I was able to communicate to Maria, the owner of the casa I was staying in, that I was there to climb. She promptly brought forth her neighbor, Luis, who was a climber. So I made plans to climb with Luis and his brother Jorge. 4) I went climbing for a day with Jorge and Luis. They were both plenty strong, competent and, of course, they know all the crags. Jorge was participating in the big Cuban climbing comp later that week which included such stars as Sasha Degulian. 5) Both Jorge and Luis are climbing guides in Vinales. They charge 20 CUC per day per person. (It's straight up 20 CUC, no half days) So if you go alone you can climb with those guys, or if you want someone to show you around the crags for a couple of days they have all the beta. Jorge is an excellent English speaker so there's no language barrier. Plus, Luis has a casa in the middle of town you can stay in if you book in advance. 6) Contact Jorge if you are looking for guides, Contact Luis if you're looking for a place to stay. Jorge: email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com The first e-mail address it the best one to use but either one works. If you want to stay at Casa Luis the contact info is firstname.lastname@example.com If you have any questions just ding me through Mt project.

Can anyone recommend international travel medical insurance that will work in Cuba but also covers rock climbing? I have been trying to find insurance, but either they aren't available for residents of New York (which I am), or the fine print excludes coverage for injuries from rock climbing, or the one plan I found that allowed rock climbing was only for people under 50 years old (which I am not). |

So I just got back from Cuba and climbing in Vinales. It was awesome! The limestone, the views, my surroundings, the routes, and the people. Please message me and I'll give you a run down of what to expect and who to get into contact with when aiming to climb in or around Vinales. Which I highly suggest. Also getting into the country as a US citizen wasn't hard and we had no problems. If you appreciate sending sick routes get on over to Cuba! |

The Project LEAD® Institute is a five-day intensive science course for breast cancer advocates covering the basics of cancer biology, genetics, epidemiology, research design and advocacy. The course provides a foundation of scientific knowledge upon which participants can strengthen and empower themselves as activists. Taught by renowned research faculty, this is a unique opportunity for those interested in learning more about working as an NBCC research advocate. Tuition is free to NBCC members who are accepted to the course, and includes all workshop materials and meals. Applicants can also apply for need-based scholarships to assist with lodging and travel expenses. Accepted participants must attend the entire course.
Applications are being accepted through 5:00 PM EST April, 18, 2017. Please visit breastcancerdeadline2020.org/ to register.
In an exciting initiative for 2017, Breast Cancer Care and Research Fund (BCCRF) is launching a new program that will focus specifically on metastatic breast cancer. Our first upcoming action is to embed on our website a clinical trial matching tool, specifically designed for metastatic breast cancer patients. Metastatic Trial Search (MTS), a web-based service, was developed by BreastCancerTrials.org in 2015 to help patients and their health care providers easily identify which active and geographically feasible clinical trials could be pertinent to their personal diagnosis. Because there is currently no cure for stage 4 breast cancer, enrollment in a clinical trial is often the best chance for these patients to receive cutting-edge, potentially life-saving treatments. BCCRF is honored to join a growing number of advocacy groups who have all integrated this search engine into their websites.

In his seventh State of the State Address this evening, Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam reported a state surplus that includes new recurring...
Families of children with a traumatic brain injury may have a difficult road ahead of them. Generally, brain injuries and their outcomes are less understood than most developmental disabilities and learning disorders. Because of this lack of understanding, your child's educational experience may be challenging or may be misidentified as other diagnoses (i.e. Attention Deficit Disorder). Learn about brain injuries.The more you know, the more you can help your family.
One of the most important things you can remember as a family member of a child with a brain injury is to use your INTUITION and make it a TEAM effort!
A child's recovery from their brain injury requires coordinated, cooperative efforts from the most important people in his/her life (i.e. parents, siblings, teachers, coaches, friends, health care professionals). It is important to establish this teamwork and consult and collaborate together about effective interventions or accommodations at home and at school. It is important to gather information that will help with the transition back to school. Begin to include the school right away in planning for education.
General Tips for Families
- Encourage and praise your child's progress. Focus on one day at a time by setting small goals as steps toward accomplishing larger ones.
- Establish a daily structure (consistent times for all activities). Communicate this routine with the people in your child's life (educators, rehabilitation team, siblings, etc.).
- Develop strategies to compensate for challenges (use journals, day planners, watches with alarms, calendars, smart phone apps, I Pads, visual schedules, and medication dispensers) Communicate these strategies with the people in your child's life (educators, rehabilitation team, siblings, etc.)
- Encourage your child to use their strengths whenever possible.
- Seek the support and services of community members (professionals, church members, support groups).
- Involve peers, the school, and the community when the time is right for your family.

Python is a clear and powerful object-oriented programming language, comparable to Perl, Ruby, Scheme, or Java.
Some of Python's notable features:
- Uses an elegant syntax, making the programs you write easier to read.
- Is an easy-to-use language that makes it simple to get your program working. This makes Python ideal for prototype development and other ad-hoc programming tasks, without compromising maintainability.
- Comes with a large standard library that supports many common programming tasks such as connecting to web servers, searching text with regular expressions, reading and modifying files.
- Python's interactive mode makes it easy to test short snippets of code. There's also a bundled development environment called IDLE.
- Is easily extended by adding new modules implemented in a compiled language such as C or C++.

Is free software in two senses. It doesn't cost anything to download or use Python, or to include it in your application. Python can also be freely modified and re-distributed, because while the language is copyrighted it's available under an open source license.
Some programming-language features of Python are:
- A variety of basic data types are available: numbers (floating point, complex, and unlimited-length long integers), strings (both ASCII and Unicode), lists, and dictionaries.
- Python supports object-oriented programming with classes and multiple inheritance.
- Code can be grouped into modules and packages.
- The language supports raising and catching exceptions, resulting in cleaner error handling.
- Data types are strongly and dynamically typed. Mixing incompatible types (e.g. attempting to add a string and a number) causes an exception to be raised, so errors are caught sooner.
- Python contains advanced programming features such as generators and list comprehensions.
- Python's automatic memory management frees you from having to manually allocate and free memory in your code.
