Do you ever crave something you've never had before? No? Just me?
A while back, I was craving som tam (ส้มตำ), Thai green papaya salad, even though I had never had it before. Just looking at the list of ingredients, I knew I wanted it, knew I would love it. Shredded unripe papaya, tomatoes, green beans, dried shrimp, peanuts, hot chiles, lime juice, sugar, fish sauce. I finally had it for the first time at Sab E Lee, and, seriously, I could do shots of the dressing, it's that good. Then recently I decided I needed to make it myself.
So I consulted with Leela from She Simmers, using her recipe, and asking her a couple questions along the way. I have a mortar and pestle, but it's the Mexican kind with the rough granite. My instinct told me I needed a smooth-sided mortar to make som tam, so I used a large cutting board and a metal bowl, and alternated between the granite pestle and my meat tenderizer. Don't laugh. It worked.
Aside from an altercation with the vegetable peeler, in which I removed a fair-sized chunk from my thumb, everything came together nicely. Lots of pounding, crushing, mixing, more pounding. It's a fair amount of work for a salad, but any time I get to pound on things, it's worth it.
Will I make it again? Hell, yes. But I think I'll ask my husband to peel the papaya.

In our health library, you will find all of the information you need to achieve your goals of making a healthy lifestyle change. So, start reading and start losing!
Learn about a host of diabetes-related topics such as how many Americans suffer from this disease to how to easily adjust to a new diet after diagnoses. This section will provide you with the information you need to make informed dietary decisions regarding diabetes.
Type 2 Diabetes is a condition in which the body either produces too little insulin to break down glucose, or the body does not recognize the insulin the body produces, a condition called insulin resistance. Type 2 diabetes can be managed with a healthy diet low in fat and simple carbohydrates. Some diabetics manage their blood sugar levels by using some of the new medications that are available, but certain diabeties medications have been shown to increase weight, or even to cause heart and liver problems. You should speak to your doctor about which diabetes medication would be the best one for you to take, since certain pre-existing conditions can make these side effects more dangerous.
It is important for people with type 2 diabetes and prediabetes to engage in physical exercise. Physical exercise lowers blood glucose and reduces insulin resistance which, if you are in the pre diabetic stage, may be enough to reverse the condition altogether. If you are intimidated by the idea of exercise, start out small by taking a few short walks during the day, or using small hand weights to build up your muscles. Stretching and using resistance bands are also a good place to start. As your endurance and physical strenth increase, inrease your activity level to continue to challenge yourself.
Changes to your current diet and lifestyle should be made gradually to ensure that these changes are adopted for the long term, and not a total dramatic change that cannot be maintained. Type 2 diabetics must also monitor their intake of fat, as it is now widely believed to be a cardiovascular condition, and not simply a condition caused by a poor diet. More people with diabeties die from heart an blood vessel disease, than from the common side effects such as loss of eyesight or kidney damage.
It is important to note that the diet and lifestyle prescribed for diabetics is the diet and lifestyle we all should be adopting. It is just that it is now imperitive that diabetics adopt these healthier habits as the effects of a poor diet and sedentary lifestyle have already caused damage, and will continue to deteriorate the health of the patient if action is not taken. So why not start today, and perhaps you will escape the condition altogether, even if it you have a genetic predisposition for the disease.

McKissick Museum nature series continues June 15
McKissick Museum at the University of South Carolina will present an outdoor lecture Tuesday, June 15, by naturalist Rudy Mancke, who will discuss the natural world of summer.
"The Nature of Things" series features public lectures and events in conjunction with the vernal and autumnal equinoxes and the summer and winter solstices.
Mancke's talk, which is free and open to the public, will take place at noon on the patio in front of McKissick Museum on the university's historic Horseshoe. The public is encouraged to bring items -- but not live animals -- for Mancke to review and discuss. People may bring a bag lunch; McKissick Museum will supply soft drinks and water.
Guest curator of natural history at McKissick Museum, Mancke teaches courses on natural history at the university.
He is best known for producing and appearing in SC-ETV's "NatureScene," a nationally syndicated television program on which he appeared for 25 years.
McKissick Museum is known for its natural-history holdings and for the permanent exhibit, "Natural Curiosity: USC and the Evolution of Scientific Inquiry into the Natural World," which it opened in late 2007. "Natural Curiosity" explores man's relationship with the natural world through the process of collecting and displaying natural specimens and artifacts. The exhibit covers 1,200 square feet and houses more than 1,000 specimens that have been gathered during the university's more than 200 years of history.
McKissick Museum is located on the university's historic Horseshoe, with parking available in the university parking garage at the corner of Pendleton and Bull streets. All McKissick exhibits are free and open to the public. The museum is open from 8:30 a.m. – 5 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Saturdays; it is closed on Sundays and holidays.
For more information about McKissick Museum, visit www.cas.sc.edu/MCKS/, or call 803-777-7251.

Sony Xperia Z: "Chasseur d'Images" reviewBy Chasseur d'Images - Friday August 02 2013 Mobile Review
Chasseur d'Images, the first European magazine dedicated to photography, has chosen to rely on DxOMark Mobile technology for its new section devoted to smartphone image quality measurement. In its July issue, the magazine reviewed the water-resistant Sony Xperia Z incorporating the report with measurement data supplied by the laboratories at DxOMark.
Apple and Samsung give much of trouble to their competitors who, to get a place bathing in the Sun, are forced to find "different" ideas. With Xperia Z, Sony settled on Android, a big, excellent 5-inch screen and uniquely, some resistance to the elements. This gives an attractive, innovative and endearing product which is available in multiple versions.
- 13 megapixel photos
- Autofocus
- Face and smile recognition
- Panorama assist mode
- 14 images/sec burst mode
- Full-HD Video
- Image geotagging
- 1,920 x 1,080 TFT display
- Water resistant
In a phone store I recently overheard a charming sales assistant trying to calm a furious customer after refusing to accept a returned iPhone that showed signs of corrosion. The device was only a few months old but a prolonged stay in a chest pocket proved fatal to it. While listening to the explanations by embarrassed sales-girl, my eyes rested on a Sony flyer showing a Xperia diving into the water and I suddenly understood the cleverness of a splash proof design for a phone whose destiny is to accompany his master for several months (I dare not speak in years!) to share with him... both in the good times and the hard knocks.
Apple has added shock and moisture detectors in its iPhone, to indicate if the phone has been used carefully... Sony opts for the opposite solution and offers robustness. What a difference in mindset! Its Xperia Z meets both the IP55 and IP57 rating, resists dust, immersion in water up to 1 meter and can be washed under a tap if it is dirty. In its PR material, Sony says it has a hardened glass screen and a frame made of polyamide reinforced with glass fiber, which should ensure its survival in case of fall. These arguments sound valid to those who have already seen their phone plunge into toilets (don't laugh, it is frequent) or simply to the floor. It remains to be seen how realistic these claims are and how Sony will handle the inevitable after-sales issues.
That's because in reviewing the Xperia Z, one discovers several weak points: If only one of the three small doors protecting the Sim card, the memory card or the micro-USB connector is not fully closed, the seal is no longer guaranteed! In short, every grain of sand on the tiny O-rings that protects each panel of the Xperia may let water in and while knowing it's more resistant than others, we do not advise anyone to willingly mishandle it.

Hello guys, im using laptop TOSHIBA Satellite P200D - 12F, is it supported by BT 3/4?
And my USB stick is Airlive WL-1600USB
If my laptop doesnt support BT3 ill run it through VMware.
bump - its quite important if i could get an answer quickly - im going to the town tommorow!
When you want to buy a card, but don't know if it is injection capable, just follow this simple steps (I'll use your card as an example):
"Airlive WL-1600USB + chipset"
You'll find "AirLive WL-1600USB (RTL8187L chipset)"
Next step would be searching the chipset + injection (RTL8187L + injection) to know if it has injection capabilities.
As it is well know, the rtl8187l chipset has injection capabilities, so it should work out-of-the-box with BT4.
Thank you very much! I hope it works with BT 3 aswell.
Hey, guys I bought it
and when i run BT3 in VMware and type airmon-ng. I get no devices listed.
How come it doesnt work? It used to work with my old usb stick.
What to do to make it recognize the adapter and use it?

Team website: www.solard.iastate.edu
Iowa State University's Interlock House was the plain Jane among the 20 student-designed-and-built houses competing in the 2009 Solar Decathlon: It placed dead last in the Architecture category. But the honey-colored cedar-clad structure wowed judges and visitors alike with its modest but accessible design, and for that it ranked fourth in Market Viability.
The Iowa State team says it had two main goals for its Solar Decathlon entry: Meet all regulations for accessibility under the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and "interlock" the structure into existing communities, which Clare Cardinal-Pett, an architecture professor and a faculty advisor, says is a much more sustainable approach to building. The group also utilized mainstream, off-the-shelf products so that the net-zero-energy house could be easily replicated.
The concept, aimed at older home buyers, has a number of obvious ADA-compliant features: a no-lip shower, lower-height appliances, wide door entrances, and open spaces. Meanwhile, the student-built cabinetry in the bedroom and in the kitchen is light-colored maple, while the floors are dark-stained bamboo, creating a contrast that architecture student Melissa Vandelac notes helps older people with fading eyesight see more easily into each space, particularly at night.
The heart of the house is an enclosed sun porch with a black stone floor that collects thermal energy during the day and releases it at night, the student builders said. The sun porch features custom-designed movable glass walls from NanaWall that increase ventilation and extend the living space to the outdoors.
The group wanted to use a NanaWall system to divide the interior space, but adding that element would have significantly increased the home's cost and would not meet the school's desire for a home that could be easily replicated, says Brandon Vong, an architecture student. So, the team divided the living room and bedroom with a simple but attractive floor-to-ceiling beige-color curtain.
The house does have one notable technology. The students incorporated an innovative evacuated-tube solar hot water collector that heats the house, supplies hot water, and recharges the desiccant dehumidification system during the summer.
For the rest of the technologies, Iowa State stuck to the basics. The team incorporated two types of photovoltaic panels. The main solar array includes crystalline silicon PV modules with an integrated thin-film layer that the students claim adds about 10 percent more power. A smaller array is made of custom thin-film modules integrated into the southern and eastern window shade louvers and the tracking louver array on the roof.
Another energy-efficient feature is the entry door from Pella, a prominent Iowa manufacturer, which vacuum seals and has an R-value of 45. For a decorative touch, the students covered the wide door and two smaller side doors with panels made from 80 percent recycled grain and etched them with a wheat motif.
In addition, the dwelling is insulated with spray polyurethane foam manufactured from soybean oil.
The off-the-shelf technologies proved successful, because the house placed sixth in Net Metering and fifth in Engineering out of 20 competitors.
There are a couple of other things about the Interlock House that are worth mentioning. For the exterior cladding, the team purchased a plot of land in Wisconsin, harvested the cedar trees, and then replanted the plot.
Furthermore, the Iowa State team collaborated with students in three College of Design classes—a furniture studio, an advanced ceramic studio, and a file-to-fabrication class—to deck out the house with some unique touches. The resulting one-of-a-kind collection includes chairs that can be side tables, bird feeders made of metal and bio-based plastic, and ceramic tiles.

Eleven federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture, have joined together in a new initiative to revitalize the Anacostia and Patapsco rivers.
The Urban Waters Federal Partnership will focus on the two Chesapeake Bay region rivers, as well as five other waterways throughout the United States, as pilot locations for the new initiative. The partnership's goal is to help underserved communities access and benefit from their local waterways.
Urban waterways like the Anacostia and Patapsco rivers provide local residents with drinking water and opportunities for fishing, boating and swimming. Cleaning up and restoring these rivers is essential to protecting human health, improving quality of life, and connecting people to their local natural areas.
For more information, visit www.urbanwaters.gov.
The Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service have launched the Native Plant Center, an online guide to help homeowners identify and choose plants that are native to the Chesapeake Bay region.
Users to the website, www.nativeplantcenter.net, can search for native plants by name, plant type, sun exposure, soil texture and moisture. Users can even find native plants with the same characteristics as some of their favorite non-native plants. The website also includes a geo-locator feature to identify plants suited to a user's specific location.
Planting native plants is an important part of restoring the Chesapeake Bay. Residents who replace their typical backyard landscaping with native plants use less fertilizer and pesticides, provide critical habitat for pollinators, and reduce polluted runoff to storm drains.
The portal uses the U.S Fish and Wildlife Service's native plant database, associated with the publication Native Plants for Wildlife Habitat and Conservation Landscaping: Chesapeake Bay Watershed.
To learn more about native plants, visit www.nativeplantcenter.net.
The Chesapeake Bay is expected to have moderate to poor dissolved oxygen conditions during the early part of the summer, according to a team of scientists with Chesapeake Eco-Check.
The early summer dissolved oxygen forecast (called an "anoxia forecast") is based on nitrogen loads to the Bay during winter and spring, as well as high river flow in May due to heavy rainfall. According to scientists, the Bay's 2011 low-oxygen area – commonly called the "dead zone" – could be the fourth-largest since 1985.
The annual summer ecological forecast uses data such as nitrogen loads, wind direction and sea level to predict dissolved oxygen levels in the Bay's mainstem. The forecast is split into early summer (June to mid-July) and late summer (mid-July to September) because scientists have observed a significant change in oxygen levels following early summer wind events.
The forecast is supported through research at the Chesapeake Bay Program, Johns Hopkins University, Old Dominion University, and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Horn Point Lab.
For more information about the dissolved oxygen forecast, visit Chesapeake Eco-Check's website.
Former Maryland State Senator Bernie Fowler saw his white sneakers through 31.25 inches of water at the 24th annual Patuxent River wade-in on June 12. This was down three inches from last year and a far cry from the 60-plus inches of water Fowler could see his sneakers through during his youth.
About 100 government officials, environmental leaders and members of the community joined Fowler at Jefferson Patterson Park, where the annual Patuxent River wade-in is now held. Fowler had previously hosted the wade-in near his childhood home on Broomes Island.
The Patuxent wade-in is held on the second Sunday of June each year to draw attention to the muddy, polluted waters of the river and Chesapeake Bay. Fowler speaks of the days of his youth when he could wade up to his shoulders in his beloved Patuxent and still see the river's bottom, teeming with crabs and fish swimming among the grasses and oyster shells.
The "sneaker index" is a measurement of the deepest point at which Fowler can still see his white sneakers as he wades into the Patuxent River.
The Patuxent River wade-in has spawned community wade-ins on many creeks and rivers throughout Maryland.

Puerto rico is a for sure place i will be surfing at but i get there very late at 3pm.I will probably be waiting at the doors at like 230 or something with my stuff and board to get to the beach as fast as possible. If i go to the closest beach i could be in the water at around 330 - 340 earliest which gives me around 2hours and 30 min to 3 hours MAX until sunset and its dark and cant surf anymore.then i will have a couple of hours to get to the boat and it wil be close by so not a problem. And yes i just bought a waterproof case for my iphone 5 called Lifeproof which you can take 6ft under water and has amazing reviews i just hope i can surf with it in my boardshorts pocket since there is no string attached to it. If anyone has tips or advice with what i can do or put my phone that i will need to take with me bc theres like 60% chance i will be alone since my friend wont want to surf and rather do stupid **** there.
For the 3 other islands each stop is at 8 am so i will be up bright and early at around 730 and at the door at 745-750 waiting to get off so i can maybe even go to a beach thats on the other side of the island. For philisburg i will have 10 hours for st thomas i will have 9 and for DR i will have 8 which is still a very long time and i will probably surf about 3-4 hours maybe 5 if its a good 4-6 ft day and with clean offshore winds. I rather not surf at a place that is more than a 5min paddle out bc I'm not familiar with it and ive been surfing beach breaks(NY AND NJ) only for years now and rather do it when I'm older and on a real surfing trip instead of a short vacation on a cruise.
I will be bringing a 5'7 al merrick motorboat too. i have only two boards that and a 6'2 fiberglass shortboard which i will for sure not bring since its way to big for surfing this waist to head high. I'm only 16 and 5'5 so i wont have a car to lock my stuff in or even rent a car. Are there any of those islands besides puerto rico that has a beach with surfing andwater activites such as a wave runner(jet ski) that i will be able to do after i come from my surfing, because last time i went on one was years ago and i wasnt old enough to go by myself so now i am trying to see which place i can jet ski at.
If anyone has anything else tips or advice i would appreciate it tremendously just as sailquik and goosemagoo have said many things on it that i will use on my trip and for those islands.
Thank you

DALTON, GA – J&J Industries recently announced that it has been selected as a 2009 Evergreen Award winner. This award, presented by the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), recognizes efforts in recycling, affirmative procurement and waste reduction. (J&J Industries provides carpet for GSA through its lead brand,
J+J | Invision.)
The 2009 Evergreen Awards were presented to four businesses in the following categories: Furniture – Valley Forge Fabrics; Sports – EcoPlay Playgrounds; Furnishings – J&J Industries; and Technologies & Electronics – Konica Minolta Business Solutions USA.
"These companies have done an outstanding job in making environmentally friendly options available to GSA client agencies and are committed to demonstrating that green products are a viable option for customers and businesses alike," says Linda Chero, acting regional administrator and FAS regional commissioner. "We are honored to partner with companies that help to create a more sustainable environment and help build a greener future."
Winners are evaluated and selected for the Evergreen Award based on five criteria: waste prevention, recycling, affirmative procurement, environmental preferability, and model facility.
J&J Industries' environmental initiatives are centered around EnAct®, its organization-wide focus on reducing, recycling, reusing, and creating a healthier, more sustainable environment. Some significant EnAct accomplishments the company described in its Evergreen entry include: collection of more than 70,000 pounds of recyclable materials from the Associate Recycling program; diversion of more than 84,000 pounds of waste each year from the landfills through the R4® sample and architect folder return program; recycling of 10 times the amount of industry waste that was landfilled in 2008; and achieving significant reductions in waste management, water consumption, greenhouse gas emissions and electrical consumption.
"This award is a significant acknowledgement for J&J Industries. It represents the hard work and extreme focus of sustainability that our company and employees have felt passionately about for many years," says David Jolly, president and COO of J&J Industries.
GSA's Evergreen Award Program was developed in 1998, at the Integrated Workplace Acquisition Center (IWACenter), formerly the National Furniture Center, to support the federal government's environmental initiatives. GSA's IWACenter annually recognizes the efforts of partners who do business in an environmentally friendly way. The program assists GSA's customers in identifying environmentally preferable products currently on schedule and recognizes the efforts of GSA's business partners in the areas of recycling, affirmative procurement, and waste prevention.

Might want to either try searching google for info on keyboards and ubuntu or re-do your setup.
Hey, I'm new to backtrack and linux in general and have just installed BT4 to dual boot with windows 7 pro. My PS/2 keyboard worked fine after the initial installation and while using live CD's before that. I was reading forums on how to insert drivers for wireless cards and may have botched a driver installation. Immediately after, my keyboard stopped being recognized in the gui (don't know what its called, KDE I think?) The weird thing is my keyboard will work properly in the start-up command line, allowing me to type in my user name, password, and startx to start the gui. However once in the gui keyboard becomes unresponsive with one exception. I can hold ctrl and click left mouse button to select multiple items. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide me.
Might want to either try searching google for info on keyboards and ubuntu or re-do your setup.
Same as OP here ! It all worde just fine and suddenly stopped working while in Konsole. Ctrl key still working along mouse to select multiple icons as well...
Anyone on this ?

Choosing retirement plans for business owners: Today, business owners are a critical piece for the growth of our economy. They will continue to provide new innovations and venture out to other countries improving competitiveness in our global markets.
New businesses have become the backbone of our U.S growth. For this reason it is important to have support from our government, consumers and the business owners themselves.
One of the ways our business owners help support our economy is by providing jobs and retirement plans to help us plan for our future. However, choosing retirement plans, and the right one at that, for a business owner can be overwhelming and confusing. It takes hours of research and a check list of highly relevant questions to figure out the best plan for the type of business. Most of the facts include demographics of the employees such as their ages and income, along with the overall financial objective for the plan.
There are numerous plans to choose from such as: SEP's, SIMPLEs, 401(k)'s, 403(b)'s, Solo 401(k)'s, Safe Harbor 401(k), Profit Sharing, Defined Benefit Plans, Money Purchase, and so on. In addition, add an array of non-qualified plans, and it becomes even more daunting.
For example, the SEP-IRA allows a contribution of up to 25% compensation with a limit of $49,000. It also is very easy to set up and has low administration cost. Whereas a traditional 401(k) is appropriate when a business seeks to make large contributions for the owner(s) and other partners, as well as provide an employer contribution for employees as a benefit.
The traditional 401(k) options have many benefits and allow the employer to control eligibility, match options and vest schedule. It also provides asset protection under ERISA and allows plan participants to contribute $16,500 for 2011 — plus an additional $5,500 if the participant is age 50 or older.
On the other hand, 401(k) plans may create high fiduciary responsibility for the business owner and have higher administration cost due to complex discrimination testing.
Choosing retirement plans for business is challenging, and I found that the process of elimination helps sift through the many choices; and clearly identifying what you want to achieve for you and your employee's financial goals will narrow the choices.
As our economy continues to work though the recent recession, business owners will still provide new innovations in servicing and production of goods. We hope that as our economy stabilizes, we will see more opportunities for businesses to choose retirement plans and offer the right one to employees to help our future retirees.

Deputies: 86-year-old Fla. mom shoots, kills son
Published: Saturday, May 18, 2013 at 10:03 p.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, May 18, 2013 at 10:03 p.m.
LAKELAND — Authorities say an 86-year-old central Florida mother has confessed to fatally shooting her son in self-defense.
Polk County sheriff's officials said Nancy Pennypacker ran outside of her home, screaming for help Friday night. She told the deputy her 64-year-old son had been drinking and hit her in the face when the fight escalated into gunfire. William Pennypacker was found dead inside the home.
Authorities say Nancy Pennypacker was shot once. The bullet traveled through her finger and into her shoulder. She is hospitalized in stable condition. Criminal charges are not expected.
Nancy Pennypacker says her son suffered from depression and has threatened to harm himself in the past. He has also been arrested in the past for batter and aggravated assault against his mother.

happiness, love, family, good health are all important things in life but it will be strongly supported if you have certain $$$$ to make it last long. I think it's the basic foundation. How much is enough, it varies from person to person. Anyway, I like this saying by budha: a person needs only three things to be truly happy in this world: someone to love, something to do and something to hope for. I believe you & I are using this site for the same purposes to find the good company & be fully happy
i iike the song "Billionaire" - I wanna be a billionaire, so fricking bad :-) There is nothing wrong when someone wants to be rich & has a lot of money. if something money cant buy, more money can buy it, & there is truth in this saying. For me money is important but is it the most important? i need to figure it out ;-)

Assassin's Creed III is the highest selling game in the history of Ubisoft. So what's next?
Because of the popularity Assassin's Creed has gotten over the past years, it's no wonder that the company is thinking about releasing an entry in the series every year. In a past interview with EuroGamer, Creative Director Alex Hutchinson stated the following – "Our goal is to ship a game every year but never to develop a game in a year.", so it's clear that while Ubisoft has much respect for the franchise, giving their developers more than a year to work on a game, they do plan on annualising the series. So what's next after Assassin's Creed III?
During a post-earnings financial call, Ubisoft CEO Yves Guillemot stated that a new Assassin's Creed game is set to be released before April 2014. It will feature a new protagonist, in a new setting. We heard rumors about a potential entry in the series taking place in Brazil, and many fans have speculated about an ancient China setting. Now, thanks to 2 Reddit users, we might have a clue about what Ubisoft's planning.
- Reddit user KingCharlesMarlow says the following:
"Whilst sitting in a San Francisco Cafe, I happened to overhear two advertising designers discussing a new piece of ACIII DLC, titled Black Flag, that will focus more deeply on naval combat. According to them, the tagline stands as "Survival is the Only Thing Worth Dying For," and the commercial being pitched involves an Admiral of the British Royal Navy attempting to arrest Connor Kenway on the high seas, whilst a Johnny Cash song sets the tone. The DLC is apparently nearly six months out and still in early development, but seems to be a definite project that Ubisoft is working on."
While this sounds like something plausible, it does raise the the question as to why didn't Ubisoft include this DLC in the Season Pass of Assassin's Creed III as well. They said the season pass will include 5 downloadable add-ons, two of which are already out, and the next three are all about the tyranny of king Washington. So where does this content fit in this third (numerical speaking) entry?
- A more interesting statement comes from the other Reddit user, photoacoustic:
"I was on a flight where the lady in the row in front of me was working on a powerpoint presentation on marketing strategies of several gaming titles. And one that stood out the most was AC4: Black Flags, aimed for release 2013 Holiday season according to her slide. It already had a cool looking logo for it."
Now this sounds like something Ubisoft would really do. One of Assassin's Creed III's biggest surprises was the naval combat. At first, it seemed as weird as Revelation's tower defense mini-game, but the truth is that it's infinite times better than the later. Gamers loved those segments, so why not make it a focus in the next entry?
Now I'm not suggesting Ubisoft will turn Assassin's Creed into a full fledged naval combat-only game, but a pirate themed one sounds incredibly promising, not to talk about the fact that the industry is incredibly lacking in that department. Sure, we've had the likes of Risen 2: Dark Waters, but while the atmosphere sure looked, and sounded like a pirate's heaven, the gameplay wasn't as great as it could have been. So how about we finally get a good 'pirate' game?
Think about it: you would be the captain of your own ship, fully customisable, of course, with a full crew acting as your assassin recruits, a gameplay feature first introduced to us in Brotherhood; there would be several big islands for you to explore, from cities, to hills, caverns, and so on; from finding hidden treasures, to boarding ships and "swashbuckling" your way through everyone after you pretty much wrecked them with your cannons, to discovering hidden agendas of other notorious pirates, the premise would certainly be a fresh, and interesting one.
What do you think? Would you like a pirate themed Assassin's Creed? Let me know in the comments below!

LONG BEACH — High school students struggling in math are getting extra help this year thanks to a new pilot program that provides after-school tutoring.
The program, called the GEARUP Math Intervention Pilot Program, is being funded in the Long Beach Unified School District through a federal grant aimed at improving college readiness.
The program provides tutoring in algebra, geometry and intermediate algebra for students who have received D or F grades on chapter exams. After the tutorials, students retake the failed exams.
"It gives kids an opportunity to dig themselves out of a hole," said LBUSD mathematics curriculum leader Rebecca Afghani. "If students fail the first chapter test, then they will need extra help to get past chapter two."
And school district officials believe it's working.
The district says more than 700 students have retaken tests after the tutoring and more than a third of those students have earned a C grade or better. At Cabrillo High School, a school on the city's west side where students have significant challenges in math, more than half of the participating students made improvements.
Teachers and other staff have worked this year to develop special materials for the tutorial project and one of the goals is to create assessments and other tools for teachers to use after the grant expires.
The pilot project comes at a time when students across California are struggling to meet even basic skill levels on state standardized tests in math.
In the LBUSD, 29 percent of students in grades seven through 11 scored proficient or higher in Algebra I on the 2011 California Standardized Testing and Reporting program. The state's goal is to have all students perform at the proficient level or higher.
Los Angeles County performed only slightly better with 30 percent of its students meeting state goals in algebra, compared with 32 percent statewide.
The results show that nearly half of all students are falling behind.
In the LBUSD, 48 percent of students performed at the below basic or far below basic level, compared with 44 percent statewide and 48 percent in the county. In geometry, 48 percent of students in the LBUSD performed at the below basic or far below basic level.
Some high schools in Long Beach face significant challenges. At Cabrillo High, just 5 percent of students scored at the proficient level in algebra and none scored at the advanced level out of the 1,100 students tested. The results showed that 75 percent of students were below basic or far below basic.
District officials said high school math courses like Algebra I, a course many students struggle with, can impede a student's ability to gain admission into colleges and universities. The district hopes to bring students up to speed with programs like GEARUP Math Intervention and a collaborative with a Claremont university that brought 25 Jordan High School freshman to a math summer boot camp last summer.
The Claremont Urban Math Collaborative was a partnership between the LBUSD, Claremont Graduate University and Harvey Mudd College with the goal of improving math scores for African-American students.

Medicare 101 Video Series
"Medicare Advantage Plans"
In recent years, many new insurance plans have become available for people who are eligible for Medicare. You have options that can help lower the out-of-pocket healthcare costs that Medicare does not pay. And, one of those options is a Medicare Advantage health insurance plan.
The first thing you should know is that Medicare Advantage plans are not the same as Medicare supplement plans and not all Medicare Advantage plans are identical. A Medicare Advantage plan has all the benefits of Medicare Parts A and B (Original Medicare) plus additional benefits. Medicare Advantage plans are sold by private insurance companies, such as Arkansas Blue Cross and Blue Shield.
When you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, it actually replaces Medicare Parts A and B. You still have all of the benefits of Medicare Parts A and B, but the benefits are provided by a private insurance company. As a matter-of-fact, Medicare Advantage plans not only provide all the coverage of Medicare Parts A and B but offer you additional benefits.
Medicare Advantage plans are partially funded by the federal government. Medicare pays the health insurance company a certain amount of money each month for each Medicare beneficiary enrolled in its plan. This helps Medicare Advantage members receive more healthcare benefits and helps you keep your premiums affordable. Since Medicare Advantage plans include benefits for Part B medical services, you still are required by the federal government to pay your Part B premium.
Medicare Advantage plans are different from Medicare Supplement plans. Medicare Supplement plans work together with Original Medicare … to help pay Medicare's Part A and Part B deductibles and coinsurance. And again, Medicare Advantage plans take the place of Original Medicare. Some Medicare Advantage plans provide coverage for medical and hospital services only. Some Medicare Advantage plans cover both medical and hospital services and prescription drugs all in one plan.
When you're looking for a Medicare Advantage plan, you should search for premiums that fit your budget, benefits that fit your health needs, and a doctor and hospital network that includes your healthcare providers. If you choose a Medicare Advantage plan with drug coverage, you should make sure your prescription medications are on its drug list. And, you should look for other extras that can help you be your healthy best, such as a fitness program or health education program.
To enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan, you must have both Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B coverage. You also must live in the health insurance company's service area and not have End-Stage Renal Disease.
There are a number of health plan choices available and a knowledgeable Arkansas Blue Cross representative can help you understand your options, whether a Medicare Supplement or Medicare Advantage plan best fits your needs. And, figuring out how a prescription drug plan fits into the mix. We want you to make an informed decision about your health-care coverage.
We realize you still may have questions. If you need more information, we're here to help. We want you to have the peace of mind that comes from knowing your healthcare is covered as you turn age 65. We've been helping Arkansans with their health insurance needs for more than 60 years. Speak to us today.

good point!
I'm going to get a iPhone 4s. I still don't know if I'm going to be a regular upgrade (my brother is due for a upgrade) or if I'm going to be an early upgrade but I will have one these in my hands no later than Tuesday.
The moral of the story is hater's be hatin'... don't be a hater.
Attachment 550686
every year this is the case. it's awlays upgrades more than fresh sign ups.
Annoyed by Sprint, I have 10 months left and it will cost me 650 bucks for the 16GB version. But I did mess around a little bit with the iPhone 4S at the Sprint store. I turned off WiFi and tried the speech to text and it failed all 3 times I tried it and Siri didn't recognize me either. It just didn't seem like it was all that fast data wise that is
If the 64GB came in at $300 I would have purchased that. Opted for the 16GB instead. Saved $200 and that extra space would have just been a convenience. As it stands I haven't used over 10GB on any of my phones anyway.

Hans Zimmer composes Tomorrowland hymn
It may just be starting to feel like spring, but summer is right around the corner - and so is Tomorrowland. This year, the festival (which is celebrating its 10th anniversary with two weekends) is receiving a 10-minute long classical hymn from renowned composer Hans Zimmer.
Hans will work with his symphony orchestra in London at the famous AIR Studios, where the soundtracks for films like Inception, Pirates of the Caribbean, and The Dark Knight were created.
In a trailer, Hans says, "Tomorrowland is a known quantity to me, and after ten years I think they deserve something special for their anniversary. It should be culturally diverse and should somehow represent the whole world. The hymn is about bringing different cultures together. All the things that make us different are actually the things we should be celebrating."
Will Zimmer show up to the 10th anniversary of Tomorrowland? You bet! "I am definitely planning on coming anniversary edition of Tomorrowland. Being caged up in a dark room, with a dark movie all my life, occasionally I've earned the right to go out there and just, go crazy."
Check out the trailer below. Yesterday is History, Today is a Gift, Tomorrow is Mystery...

SINGAPORE -- LAI Games has begun restructuring its senior management team with the goal of sharpening its focus on sales and marketing, while increasing corporate and manufacturing depth.
In furtherance of this goal, Marshall Ashdown has been named international sales director, and will relocate to the United Kingdom to take up this post. Ashdown had previously served as international sales manager there, but moved to Singapore to become chief executive after Alan Freimuth retired in 2009. A new LAI Games Group chief executive will be appointed in Singapore; the company's board has started the recruitment process.
LAI Group chairman Malcolm Steinberg hailed Ashdown's accomplishments during his stint as chief executive. "The business has experienced strong growth under his leadership," he said. "However, with his family still based in the UK, it has been a difficult time for Marshall, and this restructuring will allow him to be UK-based and bring more focus to the sales and marketing functions of the business."
Steinberg explained that, as the company's corporate and manufacturing base is centered in Asia, its leadership has decided that bringing in a new chief executive able to focus more closely on product development and manufacturing will increase depth and strength.
The planned management changes will occur over a three-month period from August to October, to ensure a smooth transition and minimize operational disruption.
LAI Games is a subsidiary of Leisure and Allied Industries, which was founded in Perth, Australia, in 1958. It produces and sells coin-operated prize merchandising games, ticket redemption attractions, photobooths, kiddie rides and lockers. The company's main manufacturing plant is located in Jakarta.

One of the highlights of the year here at the Skete, at the Convent, and at the Mission Center is the blessing of a visit from our dear Metropolitan Joseph, the head of the Patriarchal Bulgarian Diocese of the U.S.A., Canada, and Australia. Dedo Vladiko was here recently on October 6th through 9th, 2006 and it was a very festive visit indeed. He traveled with Father Patrick Tishel, the pastor of Holy Resurrection Church near Boston and headmaster of St. Herman of Alaska Christian School, who was a joy to see also. During their stay two special events happened at the Skete.
Some Highlights from the visit with Metropolitan Joseph
Metropolitan Joseph
On Sunday morning at the end of the Divine Liturgy Hieromonk Simeon, the head of the Skete and acting Abbot was formally elevated first to be an Abbot, then installed as the Abbot of the Skete, and then elevated to be an Archimandrite. The ceremony included a lengthy admonition to Father Simeon as to the duties and responsibilities of these honors, as all honors in the Church are really an outward call to greater service in love of the Faithful, and an interior call to raise our life to a higher standard of the calling of every Christian to "be ye perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect." This is a great calling, both inwardly and outwardly, so pray that we all will respond to Christ's invitation in love.
Fr. Anthony tonsured to Stavrophore Monk / Fr. Simeon elevated to Abbot and Archimandrite
The second blessing was on Sunday evening after Great Vespers and Small Compline when Rassophore Monk Anthony was raised to the monastic rank of Stavrophore Monk in the ceremony of monastic tonsure. In this ceremony, the monk is called to be a Cross-bearer, or a living icon of the Crucifixion of all forms of self-will and self-rule in his daily life, and formally promises for life the four vows of a monastic: obedience, chastity, poverty, and stability. This too is a great calling, for each Christian is called to a life of asceticism or self-denial, whether they are single, married, or monastic, and it is only the form of self-denial that is distinct in each way. In the monastic form this is consciously sought and consciously conformed moment by moment if one does that life well. All of the monastics present who had already made these vows (including Metropolitan Joseph, the Fathers of the Skete; Archimandrite Simeon and Stavrophore Monk Theodore, and Stavrophore Nun Mother Elizabeth of the Convent of St. Silouan) were remembering their own monastic tonsures, and their own monastic promises made years before to Christ and all the Angelic Hosts, freely and without restraint. Pray that they all pursue them with vigor.
Monastics at St. Isaac of Syria Skete and Convent of St. Silouoan with Metropolitan Joseph in St. Nicholas Church

Washington Nationals outfielder Bryce Harper stole the show Saturday at Canal Park, mesmerizing the home crowd with a power display that included three home runs.
Harper, who is with visiting Harrisburg on a rehab assignment for the left thumb he injured in April, was a combining 2-for-5 with three walks, two RBI and two stolen bases in his first two games against the Ducks in the series.
Saturday he flashed the one element of his game missing - his power - by going 4-for-5 with three home runs and five RBI as the Senators designated hitter. Harper went yard to each part of the field with a pair of solo shots in the third and fifth innings followed by a three-run blast in the eighth.
After Harper hit into a double play in his first plate appearance, he promptly made up for lost time by blasting a trio of home runs – one to each part of the field to help the Senators (32-47) cruise to a 10-4 victory over the host RubberDucks (46-35).To read more or comment...
It's hard to imagine the term "dropping like flies" being more fitting for a baseball club than it's been this week for the RubberDucks.
The team has lost three starters from the lineup to injury in as many days. Making matters worse is the fact that the trio also happens to be the club's top three players.
Wednesday, the Ducks lost starting shortstop - and the parent-club Indians No. 1 prospect according to Baseball America - when Francisco Lindor suffered a broken nose while fielding a ball that took a bad hop.
During Thursday's game, the injury bug took a bite out of second baseman Joey Wendle. The Tribe's No. 17th prospect suffered a broken hamate bone in his right wrist on his own foul tip.To read more or comment...
Major league rehabber Bryce Harper helped stake visiting Harrisburg to a 4-3 victory Friday with two RBI at the plate and then contributed a defensive play in the ninth inning to preserve the one-run victory that handed the Senators the win in the second game of a four-game series at Canal Park.
After scoring a run on a Jake Lowery triple and Jordan Smith double in the third inning, the Ducks were shut out for the next five innings by Harrisburg starting pitcher John Simms.
But the host rallied in ninth inning against the Senators bullpen as reliever Tyler Herron struggled to slam the door shut. Herron dished up a leadoff home run to Kent State product Anthony Gallas, and then issued back-to-walks to Bryan LaHair and Tony Wolters with no outs.
But with the tying run at the plate, the Senators went back to the bullpen and brought on Robert Benincasa to finish the job. The right-hander did just that in retiring the first batter he faced before Ronny Rodriguez doubled to pull the Ducks to within a run before clinching the win.To read more or comment...
Cleveland Indians top prospect and Akron RubberDucks shortstop Francisco Lindor has been diagnosed with a non-displaced nasal fracture. He is expected to miss 7-10 days and has passed all concussion tests.
Lindor left Wednesday's contest against Erie after a ground ball skipped off the infield dirt and hit him in the face while attempting to turn a double play. Lindor immediately fell face-down to the ground as team trainers rushed to his side. After a minute or two on the ground, Lindor walked off the field on his own power with a towel to his face to stop the flow of blood.
Lindor was ranked the No. 13 prospect in all of baseball by Baseball America's preseason top 100 list. He was batting .283 with a .362 on-base percentage with six home runs and 19 stolen bases in 72 games. The day before Lindor's injury, he was named to the MLB All-Star Futures Game roster.

By Nick Patterson Herald Writer
EVERETT — The growing pains continued for the Everett Silvertips on Tuesday night.
Everett played a mistake-filled game, and the Tips were blown out at home for the second time in four days, falling 6-1 to the Tri-City Americans at Comcast Arena.
The Tips were thrashed 8-0 Saturday by a Portland team that has the best record in the WHL and was just playing at a different level.
On Tuesday, Everett faced a Tri-City team that also has a good record, and the Americans scored some pretty goals. However the Tips, who going through a reboot following last week's firing of coach Mark Ferner, also gave Tri-City plenty of help.
"I think we made some rookie mistakes that cost us some goals," said Everett interim coach Garry Davidson, who's attempting to install an offense-oriented system on the fly.
"We made a couple of mistakes, had some bad defensive zone coverage and didn't do a very good job defensively," Davidson added. "We can talk about trying to create offense, but we still have to do the job when they have the puck, too. We didn't do it on either side of the puck tonight."
Six different players found the net for Tri-City (25-16-1-2), which emphatically won the special teams battle. Michal Plutnar, Mitch Topping and former Silvertip Jesse Mychan scored power-play goals as the Americans went a perfect three-for-three with the advantage. Brian Williams, Parker Bowles and Justin Gutierrez scored even-strength goals for Tri-City.
The Americans also received a strong performance from goaltender Luke Lee-Knight. Lee-Knight, standing in for injured No. 1 Eric Comrie, made 32 saves.
"I thought our goalie played terrific the first half of the game and really was the difference in the game for us," Tri-City coach Jim Hiller said. "He allowed us to get our feet going, and I thought we scored some nice goals."
Manraj Hayer scored the lone tally for Everett (17-26-0-2). Austin Lotz made 38 saves in net for the Tips.
Everett actually played a solid first period, and the Tips were unfortunate to find themselves trailing 1-0 going into the second.
However, it all fell apart for the Tips from there. Plutner scored on the power play 2 minutes, 51 seconds into the period to give the Americans a 2-0 lead, and the Tips appeared flustered the rest of the way. Everett struggled controlling the puck, completing passes and getting out of the defensive zone. Tri-City was more than happy to take advantage.
"What it boils down to is we had a lot of chances early in the game and we didn't capitalize," Davidson said. "I think an early goal like that can really give you some momentum and get the spirits going. We fell behind by one or two, then we make one mistake and it's in the back of our net again. We've got to figure out a way to get more pucks in the net early."
Everett had several good scoring chances in the first period, the best coming when Lee-Knight robbed Reid Petryk on a two-on-one feed from Ryan Harrison.
Moments later Tri-City took the lead. Williams blew around Tips defenseman Micheal Zipp, then scored around Lotz to give the Americans a 1-0 lead at 13:51.
The Tips then struggled controlling the puck in the second period, and clinical finishing by the Americans turned the game into a rout. Plutnar blew a slap shot from the point into the top corner during a power play at 2:51 to make it 2-0. Bowles wristed a shot through traffic and past Lotz 1:26 later to increase the lead to three. Then at 12:20 Gutierrez cut across the slot and fired across the grain and into the corner, giving Tri-City a commanding 4-0 lead.
Everett got one goal back early in the third, Hayer's shot off a faceoff win taking a deflection and rolling into the corner. But Tri-City ended it by scoring on both ends of a five-on-three midway through the period.
Slap shots
Four Silvertips were listed in the NHL Central Scouting Service's midterm rankings for the 2013 NHL draft Tuesday. Defenseman Mirco Mueller, who missed Tuesday's game because he's scheduled to participate in the CHL Top Prospects Game today in Halifax, Nova Scotia, was ranked 12th among North American Skaters, which projects him as a first rounder. Defensemen Ayrton Nikkel and Austin Adam were ranked 155th and 195th, respectively. Lotz was ranked 11th among North American goaltenders. … Everett also played without overage defenseman Connor Cox because of a neck issue, meaning overager Landon Oslanski moved back to defense from right wing.

Water in dietDiet - water; H2O
Water is a combination of hydrogen and oxygen. It is the basis for the fluids of the body.
Water makes up more than two-thirds of the weight of the human body. Without water, humans would die in a few days. All the cells and organs need water to function.
Water serves as a lubricant. It makes up saliva and the fluids surrounding the joints. Water regulates the body temperature through perspiration. It also helps prevent and relieve constipation by moving food through the intestines.
Food Sources
You get some of the water in your body through the foods you eat. Some of the water is made during the process of metabolism. But drinking water is your main, and best source, of water.
You also get water through liquid foods and beverages, such as soup, milk, and juices. Alcoholic beverages and beverages containing caffeine (such as coffee, tea, and colas) are not the best choices because they have a diuretic effect -- they cause the body to release water.
Side Effects
If you do not drink enough water each day, the body fluids will be out of balance, causing dehydration. When dehydration is severe, it can be life-threatening.
Although there is no research to identify the exact amount of water you should drink, experts usually recommend drinking six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water daily.

Academic integrity is essential to the existence of an academic
community. Every student is responsible for fostering a culture of
academic honesty, and for maintaining the integrity and academic
reputation of Lindsey Wilson College. Maintaining a culture that
supports learning and growth requires that each student make a
commitment to the fundamental academic values: honesty, integrity,
responsibility, trust, respect for self and others, fairness and
To foster commitment to academic integrity, faculty are asked to
require each student to place and sign the following Honor Code on
tests, exams and other assignments as appropriate: On my honor as a
student, I have neither given nor received any unauthorized aid on
this assignment/exam.
Violations of the academic integrity policy include cheating,
plagiarism or lying about academic matters. Plagiarism is defined
as any use of another writers words, concepts, or sequence of ideas
without acknowledging that writer by the use of proper
documentation. Not only the direct quotation of another writers
words, but also any paraphrase or summary of another writers
concepts or ideas without documentation is plagiarizing that
writers materials. Academic dishonesty is a profoundly serious
offense because it involved an act of fraud that jeopardizes
genuine efforts by faculty and students to teach and learn
together. It is not tolerated at Lindsey Wilson College.
Students who are determined to have plagiarized an assignment or
otherwise cheated in their academic work or examinations may expect
an F for the activity in question or an F for the course, at the
discretion of the instructor. All incidents of cheating or
plagiarism are reported by the instructor to the Academic Affairs
Office along with copies of all relevant materials. Each instance
of cheating or plagiarism is counted separately. A student who
cheats or plagiarizes in two assignments or tests during the same
semester will be deemed guilty of two offenses. If the evidence is
unclear, or if a second offense occurs, the VP for Academic Affairs
or Associate Dean to move the student before the campus Judicial
Board for review. Violations will ordinarily result in disciplinary
suspension or expulsion from the College, depending on the severity
of the violation involved. Note: The College has purchased
