U.N. study: Global warming is evident now
By Traci Watson, USA TODAY
Global warming is already having clear effects on animals,
birds, glaciers and other features of the natural world, says a report out today
from a U.N.-sponsored panel of scientists and other technical experts.
The evidence shows "there is high confidence" that the
recent rise in the Earth's temperature has had "discernable impacts on many
physical and biological systems," the scientists wrote. "High confidence" means
there's a 67% to 95% chance the statement is true.
The report is the second of three being made this year
by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. The first, "Climate Change
2001: The Scientific Basis" was released on Jan. 22. The latest report
is entitled, "Climate Change 2001: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability."
The third report, "Mitigation of Climate Change," is due later this
year. Full texts of the two reports issued thus far are available via the link
above to "IPCC full reports on climate change."
Changes in the latest report noted in the USA:
As the planet warms even more, the report says, humans,
too, are likely to feel the heat. Countries in southern Africa are likely to
have even less fresh water. Farming in the Midwestern USA will probably suffer.
Higher sea levels and more intense cyclones are likely to displace millions
of people in Asia.
A report released in January by the same panel said the
average surface temperature of the Earth rose 1 degree during the 20th century
and could rise 2.6 to 10.4 degrees from 1990 to 2100.
The January report said it's likely that "most" of the
warming since the 1950s is "due to the increase in greenhouse gas concentrations."
Greenhouse gases, which have built up to unnaturally high
levels in the Earth's atmosphere, trap heat. They include carbon dioxide, which
is emitted when fossil fuels are burned, and other gases produced by human activity.
The sponsor of both reports, the United Nation's Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change, carries enormous weight with governments around the
world. Previous editions of the report, which is produced every five years,
have often been cited at the international negotiations over a treaty to control
global warming.
More than 160 nations agreed to such a treaty, called the
Kyoto Protocol, in 1997. However, talks over the treaty collapsed in December.
Those talks are to resume this summer, but President Bush
said on the campaign trail that he opposes the Kyoto Protocol. His administration
has yet to fill positions key to directing global-warming policy.
Environmentalists hope the new findings will coax the White
House into taking a strong stance on global warming. "I hope they really study
this report," said Jennifer Morgan of the World Wildlife Fund.
Some scientists argue the planet may be warming naturally.
The new report doesn't touch on that argument, nor does it explicitly tie the
changes in natural patterns to warming caused by humans.
However, several scientists said it's not hard to connect
the dots.
Others criticized the newer report for relying on what
they say are simplistic estimates of how much the Earth will warm.
"No one says we can predict the weather next year," says
Roger Pielke Sr., an atmospheric scientist at Colorado State University. "So
why do we think we have better skills for 50 years in the future?"

I need to turn on a remote computer. When I access it in the inventory, I notice that the "Send WOL" link is grayed out. I hover over, and a message says "WOL Unavailable. Device is online". I know this isn't true -- the computer is currently OFF.
How can I prevent Spiceworks from graying out these links? It is obviously incorrectly reporting that the machine is ON, when it actually isn't. (which is certainly frustrating!)
This topic was created during version 4.5.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

I'd like to know this too. I frequently run in to this. The next full scan will take care of it, but I wish there was a way to force it through faster.
Jan 13, 2010 at 5:35 UTC
Every couple minutes, devices in your inventory are pinged to check if they are online or not. If Spiceworks is telling you something is online, that is just according to the last ping to that device. It's not a real-time value. Did the machine just go offline or has it been offline for a while (longer than a few minutes)?
Jan 14, 2010 at 9:00 UTC
Yes, the machine was off for numerous hours. Power went out at a remote office at 5PM. I was attempting to start the machine back up the next day at 9AM. The machine was down for 16+ hours, and the inventory still reported that the machine was up/WOL was unavailable.
Did the machine just go offline or has it been offline for a while (longer than a few minutes)?
Jan 14, 2010 at 9:55 UTC
My situation is similar. I just upgraded to 4.5.4710, and very unusually today, I'm actually seeing that most of my desktops are shown as offline. Hitting ping will show them as live.
Ideally, I'd love to be able to override that setting, so that when I know that a computer is offline, force through the WOL anyway.
Jan 14, 2010 at 10:27 UTC
We are running Version 4.5.45321.
I just upgraded to 4.5.4710
Agreed. I guess the main question is...is this possible?
Ideally, I'd love to be able to override that setting, so that when I know that a computer is offline, force through the WOL anyway.
Jan 14, 2010 at 1:19 UTC
Hi Steve,
We should probably just leave it enabled so that you can force the WOL request.
Are you using one installation, or a remote office collector configuration? There is a url that you can hit to put the machine offline, but I'd rather get to the root of why we can't detect this properly. Would you look at the file data/kuids.yaml and see if you see this machine in that list of known unique ids? This is the list the checker uses, and sometimes it gets out of sych with the core application.
Mar 1, 2010 at 4:33 UTC
In the long term, it would be nice to get this fixed. In the short term, what is the URL that will put the machine offline?
Mar 1, 2010 at 6:04 UTC
We have changed it such that WOL is always on for our 4.6 release. This is due out in a couple of weeks, but you should be able to try a beta of it later this week if you want to make sure it works the way you want it to.
This discussion has been inactive for over a year.
You may get a better answer to your question by starting a new discussion.

Cudjoe's Tree - No Ordinary Love
the image is intimate, capturing a moment between two people that i've never seen on a tee shirt. i like the retro look of the design too, and there are 2 other versions of the shirt, representing different people. i can't wait to rock my cudjoe's tree tee!
Oh yeah, hey everyone with girlfriends/boyfriends. Wontcha stop being all in love and what not? You ever consider the fact that some of us don't want to hear it. I mean, love is lame, anyways.
When you say three times in a row, it fails even less than never. Cool colors, basic fit, nice message.Added 9 Years Ago from Big Cartel
What'd Elton John say? "All you need is love." I good message and I think there's no reason not to wear it on your shirt in bold Helvetika.Added 9 Years Ago from Katharinehamnett
This may look like an ordinary shirt but...maybe it is. BUT it gives off a positive message and that's why I love this tee.

Dropbox and plan storageAsked by Samantha Buckley on June 06, 2016 at 12:57 AM
Hi team,
Im looking at adding a Jotform to my SquareSpace store, so my customers can upload their images for me.
I like the idea of these images going to my Dropbox account. Does this count against the allowed storage on a plan?
Can I use the free plan if I have a lot of images uploading to my Dropbox?
Also....just wondering what the total submissions means? Does this mean that if Im on a free plan, the form will stop after it has been used 500 times?
Many thanks, Sam
JotForm Support
Hello Sam,
The storage plan on Dropbox and JotForm are different and independent from each other. If you have a huge storage space in your Dropbox and you are using JotForm for free, that is fine. As long as you will keep your storage in JotForm within the limits allowed in your account type, it will keep on sending a copy of your submissions to Dropbox. So this answers also that yes, you can have a free plan and have lots of images uploading to your Dropbox :)
About the total submissions, this means that you will be limited to 500 submissions. If you have reached that maximum, the oldest submission shall be deleted from your submissions once you receive a new submission.
Let us know if you have more questions. We'll be more than happy to give you answers :)

New Year, Fresh Start
I know that not all of you are still in school—I haven't been an officially enrolled student since 2012!—but being in an order so closely related to so many educational institutions, my experience of Holy Cross has been that in some ways the whole Province, maybe the whole community, runs on the academic calendar.
It's the beginning of a new school year, a new term, a new course schedule, a new teaching schedule, or a new Mass schedule. In these days it is so easy for your most consulted reference to become your calendar (whether paper or electronic), much more so than your Bible or Breviary. For a short time that is probably OK, but fairly quickly it would be much better to settle into a routine; it might be a new routine, but it is still what will keep you on track for the rest of this year, or at least until Christmas.
As you are putting all of your appointments and events into your calendar, don't forget to make time for all the things that keep you healthy: physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. If it's important it deserves a space on the calendar. What will be your regular Sunday (or Saturday evening) Mass? What will be your regular daily prayer time? Will your old prayer time still work with your new schedule? Is it, honestly, high time to turn it up a notch, or to find or reconnect with a spiritual director? This part of the year is privileged because the concrete is still wet, as it were, in your routine. Get the important things in there before the stress of the year hardens you into the patterns you are setting—both the good and the bad.
If you feel like you have been on a plateau in your prayer life for a while now, it may also be a good time to think about changing things up. Get a new book for your spiritual reading, consider what kind of penance you will do on Fridays (will I abstain from meat, or substitute a different penance on Fridays?), when was the last time I cracked open my Bible or dusted off my Rosary? Have I ever learned the Divine Mercy Chaplet of St. Faustina (the Year of Mercy will soon be upon us!) or the precious Jesus Prayer of our Eastern brethren?
Nothing which is too rigid or unchanging is able to truly grow. Think of the supple tips of tree branches in the spring versus the dry, brittle snap of a dead twig. This new year will be full of challenges and opportunities; a tiny bit of planning and discipline in these early days of the semester can set you up for the kind of habits and prayer time you will have had when you look back at it come Christmas time.
A Prayer to Our Lady of Sorrows
Most Holy Virgin and Mother,
your soul was pierced by a sword
in the Passion of your Divine Son,
and by His glorious Resurrection
He filled you with never-ending joy.
Pray for us, so that as now we experience
the adversities of the Christian life,
we may one day rejoice with the whole Church
and with you in His Presence.
Adapted from a prayer from the 1947 Holy Cross Directory

A heartless mum and dad who left their disabled young son in a fridge until he froze to death are facing murder charges.
Karp Ulyanov and his wife Uliana told police they were "extremely drunk" at the time of the incident in Arkhangelsk - a city in northern Russia.
They claim they don't remember what happened to their four-year-old son, who was paralysed from the waist down.
The little boy's frozen body was found by his horrified grandfather when he visited the family home.
A police spokesman said: "We are investigating the circumstances of this death."
It comes two months after two little girls aged four and six died after shutting themselves in a fridge during a game of hide and seek.
Cousins Anya and Vika Loushkina suffocated at their grandmother's house in Russia's Novogrod Oblast region when they were unable to open the fridge after climbing inside to hide.

If there is one major insight TRS has formed about the culture wars, it's that the Right needs to quit letting the Left harry them into submission by agreeing to play the "I'm Not a Bigot Game." Every single time a liberal convinces a conservative the burden of proof is on them to establish a lack of racism/bigotry/sexism, the entire alt-right collectively facepalms over their stupidity. Don't play the damn game in the first place.
The most poignant example of this occurred recently when scientist Matt Taylor found himself in boiling hot water over his personal choice in T-shirts. Rather than simply smirk over a glass of single malt scotch and tell the Feminist Inquisition to go fuck themselves with the dildos they rode in on, Taylor instead publicly apologized and cried over the ordeal. Really brah? These ninnies are whining about a T-shirt made for you BY A FEMINIST WOMAN, and you let the little harpies pick away at you like a bloated piece of roadkill? Just point out that no one deserves to be treated differently because of what they're wearing, then watch anuses explode when the analogy to rape apologizing penetrates those thick feminist skulls.
Most likely you'll learn the same lesson SJW dildo-acolyte Will Wheaton discovered when he apologized for "cultural insensitivity and appropriation": You don't get a dog to stop chasing you by running from the dog. All this sort of placation does is inform your tormentors that you are a lowly pathetic worm and they can get away with squishing you right under their heels. As any pussy-nerd will tell you, you don't get the respect of women by kissing their asses. When someone gives you a shit-test, you better realize it and respond accordingly.
Don't give a single flying fuck about how the media/teacher's unions/liberal cat ladies will respond to your political stances. They already hate you. If you show them weakness, they will hate you more and add a generous helping of disrespect. Instead, be more like Police Chief Edward Flynn and point out that random violence by feral blacks is a lot more problematic than the occasional questionable shooting by Law Enforcement. In fact, just blatantly troll the fuck out of SJW apologists by slamming them with factual statistics until they finally chimp-out and experience a public meltdown, as Rudy Giuliani did during a recent
Donkey Kong Match "discussion" on Meet The Press. Remember, your enemies are a lot less emotionally stable than you, and if TRS knows anything, it's that liberals can be goaded into completely wrecking their own credibility if you remain calm and repeat Hate Facts until they finally explode into spasms of agonized butthurt and paranoid conspiracy theories.
In summation, when these little weasels try to stare you down, don't blink. Don't agree to fight a war on their favorite battlefield. Don't even bother to explain why you aren't a racist because you donate money to the NAACP or have that one black friend. You can snark about how yes indeed, as a matter of fact you are a Grand Dragon with a knowing smirk while everyone else snickers at the silliness of the original accusation, you can ignore it altogether, or use this as tell-tale sign your opponent is a vulnerable mainstream liberal and pile on the race-trolling until they finally flip the fuck out and ragequit. Don't over-estimate how much media pull these little faggots actually exert, since your base honestly doesn't care what Huffington Post or MSNBC says about you, and certain people take their silly lefty narratives and turn them into toilet paper anyway.
"Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don't win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself." -Richard Nixon

Bioguard Gauze Sponges Sterile, 2's, 12-ply
$ 6.69 $ 7.25
Derma Sciences Bioguard Gauze Sponges are a effictive gauze pad that protects wounds and provides a barrier against bacterial penetration in and around the wound. The active ingredient within Bioguard Gauze Sponges is a cationic biocide called Polydadmac, this ingredient does not disrupt the pathogens' cell walls and protects the wound from infection. With a 99.99% kill rate against infections including MRSA, VRE and pseudomonas, this barrier dressing will protect your patient against external contaminants, reduce bacteria and pathogens from wound fluid and prevent against cross contamination as the wound heals. They have been found to be more cost-effective than antimicrobial dressings, and they are effective without damaging cells and disrupting the healing process.
BIOGUARD Gauze Sponges Features:
- Barrier dressing
- PolyDadmac impregnated dressings made for infection control.
- More cost-effective and efficient than antimicrobial dressings
- Non-toxic
- Does not leak onto wound
- Eliminates antimicrobial resistance
How can BIOGUARD barrier dressings be more effective than Antimicrobial dressings?
Products that utilize antimicrobial technology work great at sterilizing and preventing cross-contamination in a healthcare facility. However, it does come with some drawbacks. In wound care too much sterilization can actually be defective. Antimicrobial agents can exist outside of the dressing and get inside the wound, which can potentially cause resistant strains of pathogens and harm good cells and actually slow the healing process. They are also typically more expensive than traditional gauze sponge dressings.
In traditional wound care dressing formats, the gauze dressing is there to provide a barrier from the wound to the environment and help dry out the wound so it can heal. Biocide gauze products take that one step further – it allows the dressing to be more protective and proactive without being toxic to the wound. Use a BIOGUARD barrier dressing to protect your patients from infection and promote effective wound healing.

Time for exchange: Book swap in 4th year
March 1, 2013
When times get tough, it's time to hit the books.
And a number of county residents have done just that, making a monthly book swap an increasingly popular event.
The fourth anniversary of the Nevada County book swap will take place Sunday in the back warehouse of Scooter's Place at 139 Joerschke Drive in Grass Valley.
The event takes place the first Sunday of the month, even during the holidays, and offers a platform for people to bring in books, magazines, CDs and DVDs and take away materials of interest as well.
Originally, the swap was an idea founder Cheryl Noble had as a way to bring the community together and share goods without having to spend any money.
"I started it because I was terrified because of what was happening with the economy," Noble said. "I wondered how we were going to survive without being able to get the things we like in life and get around without using money and thought the book swap was a good idea."
The swap's inception four years ago began with a rainy day, a few tables and volunteers and had a surprising turnout that has remained consistent, Noble said.
"There was just an eagerness, openness and receptiveness to the community that they were feeling it, too," Noble said.
Part of the popularity of the event can be attributed to a shift toward more community involvement.
"A lot has changed with people's view on community," Noble said. "There's been a shift, a little bit, with people's beliefs with community and to be more community-minded."
Nevada City resident Suzie Daggett has attended the book swap from the very beginning.
"It's an incredible offering Cheryl has made to the community, and it's really fun to see what you'll find," Daggett said. "I usually take my mom, who is 87, and she goes with a giant bag of books and comes home with an even bigger bag of books. I see a lot of people I know there, and people are always looking for an interesting read and can find it. You just don't know what's going to be there. It's a wonderful treasure hunt."
Another benefit is the ability for people to reuse rather than shop for new things and to share their experiences, Noble said.
"Swapping is the new shopping," Noble said. "There's been a heightened awareness and advocacy for re-purposing and recycling and also a way of life that this is what we should be doing with our things. We should be sharing with one another things we don't need that somebody else can enjoy."
The preparation for the swap is challenging, Noble said, as the warehouse where the event takes place is a shared location with Scooters Pals and Bitney College Prep, and each week, all the materials need to be packed up and moved elsewhere.
"It's very tedious. It's moving books one day a month, and you know how heavy books can be," Noble said. "We have a lot of good help, but we would love it if someone would have a warehouse to donate so we could just keep the books there and not have to box everything up every time." Noble said the turnout includes a wide variety of locals.
"People from all walks of our community come, and it's free," she said. "It's very social. People love talking about books there."
The materials donated for the book swap are not only for those who attend the event but are also donated to local nonprofits, some of which include Scooters Pals, Sammie's Friends and senior centers.
"We get an abundance of donations and then take a lot of those donations and pass them onto the nonprofits, which take and sell them for their fundraising efforts," Noble said. "Who knew what a service it would evolve into after four years?"
Anyone interested in volunteering or offering a space for the book swap can contact Cheryl Noble at 530-615-4155.

The Senate Theatre in Elsberry, Missouri suffered extensive damage on January 5, 2011 when a heating unit in an adjacent store caught fire. The St. Louis Dispatch is reporting that the community is rallying support to help re-open the theater, organizing fund-raisers and posting messages about the theater on Facebook and Twitter:
"People have told us we've got to come back because the theater is the heart of the town," said Sandra Sinnett, 70. "I don't think we realized it meant so much to people until now."
Josh Burbridge, who used to work as an usher when he was a teenager, isn't surprised by the support. He said that in a town like Elsberry, which has about 2,500 residents, few places allow people to have a shared experience as they did at the Senate Theatre.

There is a web site devoted to the effort, called Save the Senate Theatre. The Facebook page can be found here: http://www.facebook.com/SaveTheSenateTheatre
A news story by KSDK News Channel 5 in St. Louis (which is about 57 miles to the Southeast) says that the theater opened in 1912 as the Orpheum. That story also contains some video.
The "History" page on the Save the Senate Theatre site states that there was a theater named the "Gem" in/around 1911-1912, and a 1914 newspaper ad mentions the Gem as well. The theater is mentioned again in 1930 in a local paper, this time as "The Orpheum" which was heavily damaged in a fire in January of that year. They rebuilt, only to suffer another fire in 1937. The theater was re-opened, and then was sold in the 1950's and renamed the Senate Theatre by the new owner. In 1974, the theater was sold to Bob and Sandra Sinnett, who are the current owners.
Like many small theaters with a long history, the Senate Theatre seems to have earned the love of many in the community. Until it can re-open, the next closest movie theater is the Troy Moviehouse in Troy, about 15 miles away.

text: I've seen a lot of comments about Wesker being dead and that's the end of him. But if you remember the last time Wesker died, he ended up coming back in code veronica (granted he injected himself with a virus before he got impailed). If you recall Wesker has always been at least 2 steps ahead the entire time. In RE 5, Wesker started to act a lot more insane near the end. I've seen Wesker in all the other RE games he was in, and he was never that insane or wreckless. The only reason i think Wesker was that wrecksless was that the Wesker in RE 5 was nothing more than a copy of him. That's my opinon. If you want to share your opinion about Wesker, leave a comment. If you're gonna leave a comment that says Wesker's dead and that's it, don't even bother commenting at all.

who would have though grade 11 math would come in handy eh?
but thats good to hear that a range sim sort of like what I'm looking for that exists.
after I recover from surgery in the new year I will deffinatly be taking a trip to your sim center
Your math is correct, at least .
Instead of being troubled by what is really evil, people make a big fuss over what is merely conventionally evil. -Diogenes
Very nice. I used a range like this in South Africa for self defense handgun training and it was very effective. You can shoot at moving targets and get instant feedback. It's a much more realistic training method than regular static paper targets. Not to mention more fun.
I recently went and used the indoor cinema range. Wow that thing is awesome.
The vereity of difrent senarios was amazing, every thing form 3 gun and tactical senerios to shooting at cartoon chickens playing soccer. brought along a few buddies, did two 15 minute blocks for $120 ($40 each). killed an hour and had a blast.
The range itself was amazing, it registered every shot. the vent system was good so the air wasn't stale with smoke.
I highly recommend this range, it is worth every penny. Not only can you practise on moving targets, its indoors, clean and their is lots of space to setup. you can easly get 4 people shooting at a time with plenty of room. and since you rent the range and instead of paying per person, brnging a few friends along can make this a very affordable endevour.
ya chickens are the best ^^
collect guns from video games, anybody else does it?
I'm looking for a group to go with to cut down cost. Haven't tried it yet but I bought 6 extra Mags to cut down re-load time!
Yay for 175 rounds in one go!

The Leone mafia family is a fictional mafia family in the Grand Theft Auto entertainment franchise. The family is controlled by Salvatore Leone from at least 1992 to 2001, who got his position as head of the family during a mob war in the 1980s, when his unknown-named brother was killed. The Leone family becomes the top mafia organization in Liberty City sometime in 1998, and was possibly the top mafia organization by 1992, but it is debatable. The Leone mafia family completely wipes out the other two Liberty City mafia families by 2001, and seems to have died out the same year, when Salvatore Leone was assassinated while leaving Luigi's Sex Club Seven.

Popularity and Media
In 2001, a movie called Badfellas was released with a image of boss Salvatore Leone's face displayed on the cover.
Momma Cipriani's Restaurante, (opened since 1968) owned by capo Antonio Cipriani, is known in Liberty City to serve the best Sicilian food. Margat's Food Guide says, "the place will make you feel like you're in a mafia flick. And rightly so; they're all crazy!" Wayne Koff of Liberty Tree ad sales dept says, "Momma's is a real dining treasure, one of the last of its kind."
Sex Club Seven, a exotic dance club; is said to have the best trance music. Salvatore and Joey Leone are known to visit the club frequently, and are known to protect owner Luigi Goterelli.
In April, 2001; Salvatore Leone walks free from charges of tax evasion, being the fifth time he had been taken to court for charges that never stick. Salvatore commented to reporters, "I am just a business man from Sicily. I had made a few mistakes, and perhaps I have not followed the law by the letter, but I have always believed in its spirit. The police associate me with my brother, but I never do these things they blame me for."
There is a war in the 1980s within the Leone mafia family. It is thought that Salvatore Leone may have been at war with his brother, but this is not proven. It is known that Salvatore's brother was killed and that after his death Salvatore became head of the Leone mafia family.
Salvatore Leone (boss of the Leone family) has a sit-down with under boss Johnny Sindacco (of the Sindacco family), located on Leone home territory (Salvatore's Mansion); where Johnny suggests that Salvatore Leone should invest 5 million dollars in Caligula's Palace Casino in Las Venturas, then the Leone family could get a cut of the profits. Salvatore then tells Johnny to get rid of Mickey (presumably Sindacco) who runs the casino, that way the mafia families could control the business through their own middle man. The Sindaccos come to an agreement; Mickey is shot and buried in the desert in Las Venturas; and the families use Ken Rosenburg (an old Forelli associate) as their middle man. All three major mafia families of Liberty City [the Sindacco family, the Leone family, and the Forelli family] invest in Caligula's Palace Casino, all agreeing to split the profits three ways. It is possible that the Sindacco family was attempting to unite the three families.
Antonio Cipriani of the Leone family murders a mademan. As a way to protect his family and as a way to prevent any retaliation from the mafia families; Toni Cipriani goes into hiding for 4 years.
Salvatore Leone [with his bodyguard Mike] uses Ken Rosenburg, who is now operating Caligula's Palace Casino for the three major mafia families of Liberty City; but Ken does no real importance, other than serving as a middle man for the three mafia families. The Forelli family attempts to murder Johnny Sindacco [under boss of the Sindacco family] to get the Sindacco family's cut of the casino [2/3 of the casino profits]; but fail. Because the Forelli family is left with no profits from the casino business because of their attempt to kill Johnny Sindacco, the Forellis try murdering Salvatore Leone as a last chance to get a piece of a pie. Salvatore somehow learns of the hit on his life, so he decides to send soldier Carl Johnson to intercept the flight from Liberty City to Las Venturas that is holding the Forelli hitmen; successfully killing senior Forelli members.
Salvatore Leone sends soldier Carl Johnson on a plane from Las Venturas to Portland, Liberty City; to kill a high rank mafioso of the Forelli family believed to the current Forelli boss [thought to be Marco Forelli or Gorgio Forelli]. The hit is performed in Saint Marco's Bistro; it is revenge against the Forelli family for trying to kill Salvatore Leone for a bigger cut in the Las Venturas casino business. Salvatore also orders the death of Ken Rosenburg, likely for being a Forelli traitor [back stabbing Sonny Forelli in 1986], but Carl [who is responsible to committ the hit] allows Rosenburg to go into hiding.
Caligula's Palace Casino is robbed by Carl Johnson, making Salvatore Leone angered. The Leone mafia family is believed to have left Las Venturas after having been robbed millions of dollars out of the casino. Salvatore Leone goes back to Liberty City.
Antonio Cipriani of the Leone mafia family returns to Liberty City after having killed a made man years back. The Leone family is in the middle of a mob war between the Forelli family and the Sindacco family. After Toni's return, Cipriani murders the current Leone capo Vincenzo "Vinnie" Cilli for being disrespectful and for operating behind Salvatore's back.
Don Salvatore Leone is almost killed a few times in the mob war of 1998, but is protected by Antonio Cipriani of the Leone family. At one time, Sal ditrusts Toni Cipriani; but seems to realize Toni is respectful and loyal. Salvatore rids away the Forelli family's main source of political power, the Liberty City mayor; Toni Cipriani guns down Mayor Roger C. Hole.
Don Salvatore Leone is placed in jail; Antonio Cipriani acting as his lawyer. The current mayor Miles O'Donovan [corruped by the Forelli family] was responsible for sending Salvatore to jail, blaming most of Liberty City's crime because of Sal Leone; the mayor had probably went after the Leone family because the Forelli family had probably ordered it. After Salvatore had got sent to jail, Toni Cipriani had murdered Don Paulie Sindacco and possibly Don Franco Forelli. The Sindacco family was eliminated by the Leone family.
Antonio Cipriani becomes capo of the Leone mafia family. Before the mob war of 1998 ends, Salvatore Leone and Antonio Cipriani kill Massimo Torini; for being responsible of starting the bloodshed between the mafia families. Knowing that the Sicilian mafia was the reason behind the war, Salvatore arranges a sit-down with his old Sicilian mafioso uncle to make peace. The Leone family is the strongest criminal organization in Liberty City by this time, completely taking out all the Sindaccos and seriously weakening the Forellis. Salvatore Leone manages to gain Liberty City Miles O'Donovan as political power.
April, 2001
Don Salvatore Leone is found innocent of charges of tax evasion for 450 thousand dollars of undeclared income. He is found guilty of illegally importing tomato sauce from Palermo, Sicily without a license, and is fined. Perhaps he was found not guilty due to his political connection, Liberty City Mayor Miles O'Donovan.
October, 2001
Capo Antonio Cipriani introduces associate Claude to Don Salvatore Leone while in a Leone family meeting. Salvatore gives Claude a job as a chauffeur, and eventually tells him to spy on associate Curly Bob [a bartender for a Leone front, the Sex Club Seven]. Claude realizes Curly Bob is an informant for the Colombian Cartel and a SPANK junkie, so he murders him.
Claude kills Mike Forelli (suspected boss of the Forelli Brothers) under the orders of Joey Leone (Salvatore's son) and other members of the Forelli Brothers are murdered, ending the Forelli family's reign in Liberty City.
The Colombian Cartel becomes a problem for the Leone family, so Salvatore Leone orders soldier Claude to destroy the cartel's main source of income, blowing up a ship [where the Colombians produce their new drug SPANK] at the Portland Harbor in Liberty City. When the ship is destroyed, Salvatore tells Claude to pick up a car that has someone's brains all over the interior and to get rid of it; explaining that Claude will be a made man after this. Claude learns that the car is rigged with a bomb (Salvatore offering Claude's death as a peace offering to the Colombians); Claude later assassinates Don Salvatore Leone. It is unknown if the Leone family is still functional after Salvatore's death, but capo Antonio Cipriani would likely succeed to be the next boss, assuming Joey Leone (Salvatore's son) doesn't want to take the position.
Family Structure
"Sal" Salvatore Leone:
Salvatore Leone is the boss of the Leone crime family since the 1980s, and all of his family's operations in Liberty City. He imports tomatoes from Palermo, Sicily; in which he sells them to Mamma's Restaurante, owned by his capo Antonio Cipriani. This gives him a legitimate association with capo Toni Cipriani. Salvatore and his son, Joey Leone; visit Sex Club Seven [where they probablly launder dirty money] on regular basis, and are known to protect the club owner Luigi Goterelli [a mademan]. Salvatore also own a mansion, serving as a "gentelmen's club;" where he occasionally holds meeting with his crime family. Sal has once tried operating with the Sindacco family and the Forelli family in the Las Venturas casino business in 1992, investing 5 million dollars in Caligula's Palace Casino [loctated on the Strip in Las Venturas; where all three families would take an equal share of the casino's skimmed money. Salvatore took the Leone family out of the Las Venuras operations, after it had been robbed for millions of dollars. In 1998, Salvatore Leone ordered capo Antonio Cipriani to kill both boss Paulie Sindacco [of the Sindacco family] and boss Franco Forelli [of the Forelli family]; while he had been in jail facing charges of corruption. The killings are carried out, and Salvatore Leone's charges are later dropped, due to connections linked to Mayor Miles O'Donovan of Liberty City. In 2001, Salvatore Leone is sent to court for tax evasion, but the charges are dropped; being the fifth time he had went to court and had walked free. Salvatore Leone is assassinated in 2001 as he was leaving Sex Club Seven.
Uncle Leone:
While not a part of the Leone crime family in Liberty City, and it is unknown what Uncle Leone's name is; it is known that he is the uncle of Salvatore Leone [whose origins go back to Palermo, Sicily] and it is known that Uncle Leone seemingly controls a large portion of the Sicilian mafia. Uncle Leone is responsible for causing a mob war between the three Liberty City mafia families in 1998, representing the Sicilian mafia through capo Massimo Torini; trying to squeeze in on Liberty City's criminal operations. After Massimo Torini is killed by Leone capo Antonio Cipriani for his involvement in the 1998 mob war; Uncle Leone makes peace with his nephew, Salvatore Leone, to avoid further more bloodshed.
Brother Leone:
While not a part of the Leone crime family in Liberty City, and it is unknown what Brother Leone's name is; it is known that he is the brother of Salvatore Leone [whose origins go back to Palermo, Sicily] and it is known that Brother Leone seemingly was a part of the Sicilian mafia. After Brother Leone died in the mid 1980s during a power struggle within the Leone family, Salvatore Leone became the head of the Leone crime family. It is thought that Brother Leone was the original boss of the Leones, until his death; but this is not proven.
Antonio "Toni" Cipriani:
Antonio Cipriani owns his mother's restaurante [Mamma's Restaurante] in Portland, Liberty City. It is considered to serve the best Sicilian food in the city. The restaurante business helps him keep a legitimate association with his boss Salvatore Leone; who he buys Sicilian tomatoes from. Antonio is constantlly being nagged by his mother, who believes he is not a man like his father once was. In 1994, Antonio Cipriai [who is not a capo yet] murders a mademan; in order to protect his family and to prevent any retaliation, Cipriani goes into hiding for four years. In 1998, Antonio Cipriani returns to Liberty City. He becomes involved with the mob war of 1998, seriously weakening the Forellis and the Sindaccos. Eventually, Antonio Cipriani is moved up to capo. He ends the 1998 mob war when he kills boss Paulie Sindacco [of the Sindacco family] and boss Franco Forelli [of the Forelli family. He also murders capo Massimo Torini of the Sicilian mafia. Antonio Cipriani can be credited for having strengthened the Leone family considerably in 1998; completely taking out the Sindacco family in Liberty City and for making connections with Mayor Miles O'Donovan of Liberty City. In 2001, Toni is much more fat, and is the only known Leone capo up to this date. He may be the Leone family's unofficial under boss. His loyalty to the Leone family is undoubted.
Massimo Torini:
Massimo Torini is a capo in the Sicilian mafia. He is an old school mafioso, known to murder people with his bare hands. It would appear he works under or along side Uncle Leone [another old school Sicilian mafioso]. In 1998, Massimo Torini [with Uncle Leone] tries to expand the Sicilian mafia in Liberty City; by encouraging small gangs to take out the Liberty City mafia. When the mob war of 1998 started between the three Liberty City mafia families, the Sicilians figured they would simply wait for the opposing families to wipe each other out, then they would just take the territory. However, Massimo Torini is gunned down by Leone soldier Antonio Cipriani; so the Sicilians back off from Liberty City.
"Vinnie" Vincenzo Cilli:
Vincenzo was a former 1998 capo of the Leone crime family. Vincenzo was promoted as capo sometime between 1994 to 1998, acting as boss Salvatore Leone's righthand; but is untrust worthy and is fairly smart. He is known to have been involved in the drug trade without the boss having any knowlledge of this. Because of his disrespect toward made man Antonio Cipriani and his involvement in certain business operations without the boss's approval; Antonio Cipriani murders Vincenzo Cilli.
Luigi "the Snake" Goterelli:
Having been a made man since at least 1998 to 2001, Luigi Goterelli is mainly a pimp who legally owns an exotic dance club called Sex Club Seven; where he runs his brothel from. The club is known to have the greatest trance music. Luigi's boss Salvatore Leone and associate Joey Leone visit the club occasionally, believed to use it for laundering dirt money. Luigi Goterelli is known to be protected by Salvatore Leone and Joey Leone. Luigi has gone on trial several times for illegally running a prostitution ring, but he has never been convicted for anything.
Joey Leone:
Joey Leone, despite being the son of boss Salvatore Leone, is not a made member. Joey Leone and his father [the boss of the family] are known to visit Sex Club Seven regularly, possibly using the club to launder dirty money. Sex Club Seven's owner, Luigui Goterelli a made man; is protected by the Joey and Salvatore. Joey Leone owns a garage in Liberty City, which he uses it as a chop shop. Soldiers of the Leone crime family seem to usually go through Joey Leone for work, before working up the ranks. Joey Leone has worked with soldiers Carl Johnson and Claude in the past, usually for small errands, theft auto, and even murder. In 2001, Joey Leone ordered the death of Mike Forelli [who is the last suspect Forelli boss]. Mike Forelli was killed in an explosion, from a bomb that was planted in his car.
Carl Johnson:
The Leone crime family is known to have enlisted soldiers who have become top criminals; Carl Johnson is no exception. He had worked for the Leone family in 1992, working under Joey Leone; which Carl had boosted cars for in Liberty City. In 1995, Carl Johnson had moved to the state of San Andreas after his mother had been killed in a driveby. Las Venturas, San Andreas; Carl starts to work for boss Salvatore Leone [having worked for his son]; who he mostly commits murder for, killing Forelli mademen. Later in 1995, Carl Johnson [supported by the Triads] successfully robs Caligula's Palace Casino [which is controlled by the three mafia families of Liberty City] for millions of dollars; making enemies with the Leone family. Carl Johnson would eventually become San Andreas' top criminal, expanding his crime family [the Grove Street families] all over Los Santos, in San Fierro, and in Las Venturas.
The Leone crime family is known to have enlisted soldiers who have become top criminals; Claude is no exception. He had been known for committing a string of robberies from the state of San Andreas to Liberty City, since 1992 to 2001. Claude had been partners with known criminal Catalina [who had been robbing banks with him since 1992], but in 2001; Claude was shot by Catalina and left for dead in Liberty City. Claude then began working for the Leone family; working for made man Luigi Goterelli, Joey Leone, capo Antonio Cipriani, and eventually boss Salvatore Leone. He helps run Luigi's brothel operation at Sex Club Seven, he murders Mike Forelli [last suspected Forelli boss] under the orders of Joey Leone, he participates in small gang wars for Toni Cipriani, and he serves as a chauffer and enforcer for Salvatore Leone. Eventually, [after having destroyed the Columbian Cartel's main drug operations] Salvatore Leone promised Claude a spot in the family as a made man, but was really considering to kill him as a peace offering to the Columbians. Claude learns of this, later assassinating Salvatore as he left Sex Club Seven. Claude would become the top criminal of Liberty City in 2001.
Mickey Hamfists:
Mickey Hamfists is a soldier of the Leone crime family, and is the co-owner of Sex Club Seven, along with owner Luigi Goterelli [made man]. He is Luigi Goterelli's bodyguard. Mickey Hamfists isn't very smart, and seems to be an enforcer for the Leone family. He is responsible for murdering Sindacco stoolpigeon Joseph Daniel O'Toole in 1998, who had once been the co-owner of the club [originally Paulie's Revue Bar]. After Joseph Daniel O'Toole's death, Paulie's Revue Bar [once Sindacco controlled] became Sex Club Seven [now Leone controlled]. By 2001, Mickey has prior convictions for assault, racketeering, and various narcotics convictions.
Mike is known to be boss Salvatore Leone's bodyguard in 1992, up until at least 1995. He is present in 1992 when Salvatore Leone has a sit-down with under boss Johnny Sindacco [of the Sindacco family] in Salvatore's Mansion in Liberty City. He is also present in 1995 when Salvatore Leone was illegally controlling Caligula's Palace Casino in Las Venturas. He is always standing along Salvatore's side, serving as an obvious bodyguard.
Lou Scannon:
Not much is known about Lou Scannon, other than he lives in Liberty City. He is a soldier of the Leone family in 1998.
Not much is known about Ray, other than he is discussed briefly amongst capo Vincenzo Cilli and Antonio Cipriani in 1998.

Pictured are all the legendary "greats," among whom you will find Edwin Booth, Adah Isaacs Menken, E. A. Sothern, and Mrs. Fiske. By the turn of the century the star system was flourishing, emblazoned with such names as Sarah Bernhardt, William Gillette, Richard Mansfield, Lily Langtry, and Lillian Russell. Each succeeding decade produced more stars, more supporting players, and more plays, some great, some not so great. But they are all pictured here in this sumptuous volume for every theatre lover to enjoy: Maude Adams, George M. Cohan, Leslie Howard, John and Ethel Barrymore, Marilyn Miller, Beatrice Lillie, Katharine Cornell, the Lunts, Gertrude Lawrence, Mary Martin, Carol Charming, Katharine Hepburn, Julie Andrews, Laurence Olivier, and literally thousands more! For the added years of 1980-1985 there are many famous plays and players. These include "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby," "Crimes of the Heart," "A Taste of Honey" with Amanda Plummer, "Cato," "Private Lives" with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton, "La Cage aux Folles," "Death of a Salesman" with Dustin Hoffman, "Sunday in the Park with George" with Bernadette Peters, "The King and I" with Yul Brynner, "Biloxi Blues" with Matthew Broderick, "Big River," the revival of "Aren't We All?" with Claudette Colbert and Rex Harrison, and innumerable other plays and players.

Dr. Louis Caryl Graton, professor of mining geology at Harvard, last week issued the following statement:
''A new microscope developed at Harvard incorporates such novel features of design as to permit a new step forward in the scientific investigation of the extremely minute. Somewhat paradoxically, the instrument itself is of great size and massive proportions, weighing about one ton, in order to insure utmost precision and stability."
Blue-eyed, white-haired, courtly Dr. Graton was aware that news of his microscope had created something of a furor among authorities in optical science, because it was upsetting to optical theory. Late in the 19th Century, Ernst Abbe, a great optical physicist who worked for Carl Zeiss of Jena, laid down a theory fixing the upper limit of useful magnification at 1,500 diameters. Microscopists have sneaked considerably beyond the Abbe limit with an instrument called the ultramicroscope, in which very small particles are strongly illuminated from the side. This enables them to be counted, if they are widely enough separated, although their shape is not disclosed. Also the use of ultraviolet light, too short to be seen, makes it possible to photograph submicroscopic objects.
But for straightforward magnification in visible light, said Professor Graton, Abbe's 1,500-diameter limit "has ever since been generally accepted as reliable." The Harvard microscope, however, is reported to have a useful range up to 6,000 diameters. In specimens of ore it can spot flecks of gold so small that 40,000,000,000 of them are worth only one cent.
To reduce vibration to an absolute minimum, the one-ton instrument is housed in an underground chamber and set in 15 tons of concrete. The parts were machined with the utmost possible precision by a Cambridge instrument maker. The lenses are ordinary high-grade lenses such as are manufactured by Zeiss or Bausch & Lomb. The focus, however, is geared down 100 times finer than in any stock microscope. To change the focus by one millimetre would require 25 minutes of hand turning on the focusing knob. Such tedious labor is avoided by driving the focusing adjustment with an electric motor. When the motor is running the focusing position is indicated on a calibrated dial whereon one unit represents 2½ millionths of an inch.
Dr. Graton achieved his high magnification on mineral specimens polished to mirror smoothness in a grinding machine of his own devising. He believes the instrument would be equally useful for biological work. By no means a publicity seeker, he had the microscope in operation for a long time before first publishing a description of it last month.

Nine-man Bannsiders extend derby dominance in draw
Ballymena United 0-0 Coleraine
Coleraine made it four wins out of four this season against derby rivals Ballymena United, and did so with just nine men at Warden Street.
Goals in the second period from Darren McCauley and James McLaughlin did the damage as the Bannsiders made light of losing Sammy Morrow and Mark Edgar, both red carded by referee Keith Kennedy.
After a dour midfield tussle in the opening quarter of an hour, on-loan winger Jonny Frazer gave United fans the first glimpse of his lightning pace when he took off down the right and squared for Allan Jenkins, whose first time shot was tipped over by Chris Johns.
Frazer's trickery gave the home side another chance in the 34th minute. This time Johns was only able to spoon his cross into the danger area but as Leroy Millar looked set to stab home he was denied by a last-gasp tackle from Lyndon Kane.
The Bannsiders offered little threat in that opening period but almost scored within three minutes of the restart when, after a goalmouth scramble, McLaughlin fired a shot that Paddy McNally scooped over his own bar.
He wasn't so fortunate in the 51st minute as Eoin Kane's decision to try and block Ian Parkhill's long-range effort that was going well wide proved disastrous, the ball falling to McCauley and his shot deflected off McNally and past Alan Blayney.
The visitors were now on top and McCauley almost doubled his tally when he whistled a shot wide of the mark in the 55th minute and five minutes later Lyndon Kane did likewise.
And they were rewarded in the 64th minute when Parkhill's cross looked to be Blayney's but as he waited on the ball, McLaughlin dived in and poked the ball home.
The action was fast and furious now, a tad too much of the latter though two minutes later when Coleraine were reduced to 10 men when striker Morrow was shown a red card for a late lunging tackle on Eoin Kane.
And 10 became nine two minutes later when Edgar, harshly booked in the first-half, was shown a second yellow for bundling over Frazer.
United threw Darren Henderson and Matthew Tipton on but the resolute visiting defence held firm.

Warm Winter Food for the Soul

By ODIGO Contributor SIMONE CHEN
When you start to see hand warmers for sale at your local konbini (convenience store) and dogs on the street donning fancy knit sweaters, you know that winter is upon us in Japan. Although the temperatures in Tokyo do not dip too drastically, in regions to the north such as Hokkaido, the mercury falls to temperatures far below zero. A special time to visit, winter sports, snow festivals and onsen resorts (hot springs) are just a few of the attractions during this season.

When the chill settles in, people all over Japan turn to a range of comfort foods that warm the body and soul in the form of soups and hotpots, bright winter citrus, and hearty seasonal root vegetables. As a food fanatic and newbie spending my first winter living in Japan, I am curious and excited to try the traditional foods that are commonly eaten during this period. Here is a look at how to feast your way through winter in Japan like a local.
Enjoying Nabe from Flickr cc by Mira
A Japanese wintertime staple, nabe translates as hotpot dish. Meat, vegetables, and fish are cooked in a pot of hot broth at the dining table. The meal is served family style. Portions are ladled out into individual bowls, and often eaten with various dipping sauces and condiments. Healthy and nourishing, nabe is also a versatile way of cooking, as any combination of ingredients can be used. (Here's a good nabe spot to try!)
Yosenabe: Chicken, shrimp, and vegetables slowly simmered in a rich, dashi soup stock. Typical vegetables include seasonal winter varieties like hakusai (Chinese cabbage), shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, shungiku (chrysanthemum greens), and negi (green onion).
Sukiyaki: Thin slices of beef, onion, tofu and shirataki or yam noodles are cooked in a dashi broth sweetened with sugar and mirin (rice vinegar).A preferred way of eating sukiyaki to balance out the bold flavors is to dip the cooked ingredients in a bowl with a beaten raw egg.
Chanko nabe: A staple food of sumo wrestlers, chanko nabe is packed with everything and anything but the kitchen sink! Ingredients like seafood, chicken, potatoes, tofu, and mushrooms are just a few savory favorites that go into this gut-busting dish.
Yudofu: A tofu hotpot with plenty of tofu, mushrooms, and greens cooked in a dashi stock, and commonly eaten with a citrus-based ponzu sauce.
Oden, ready to eat from Flickr cc by yoppy
Oden includes tofu, konnyaku jelly (from konjac yam), daikon (radish), potatoes, fukuro (fried tofu packets stuffed with mochi (glutinous rice cakes), mushrooms, or shirataki noodles), nerimono (balls and patties made from fish paste), squid, and kombu (kelp) that simmer for hours in a dashi and soy soup stock. The ingredients are eaten with a karashi (mustard) dip. The longer oden cooks, the better the flavor. A favorite variation is miso oden.
Shabu Shabu
Shabu shabu from Flickr cc by imissdaisydog
Slightly different from a nabe, shabu shabu ("swish swish") consists of dipping raw meats and vegetables into a tableside pot of boiling stock to cook and eat on the spot. Ponzu and sesame sauces are the usual accompaniments. Variations of shabu shabu abound. Kani-shabu features succulent crab, while a traditional version in Kagoshima Prefecture uses slices of local fatty pork. Shabu shabu is quite fun to make and eat. This Shibuya restaurant, Shabu-zen, is a good place to try for yourself!
Daikon harvest from Flickr cc by Chris Goldberg
The Japanese radish is available year-round, but the winter crop offers the best flavors. Whether grated for sashimi or added to stews, daikon imparts an earthy sweetness to any dish. A winter favorite is furofuki daikon, thick slices of daikon simmered in a seasoned stock and served with a sweet, white miso sauce.
Fugu served sashimi style from Flickr cc by Peter Kaminski
Fugu, better known as the deadly blowfish, is commonly caught during winter when the fish are at their fattest. Due to the toxins in fugu, only licensed chefs are permitted to prepare it. Fugu dishes are a delicacy. The fish can be served raw, as fugusashi, usually with ponzu, grated daikon, and chives. A popular cooked fugu dish is a hotpot called fugushiri, with Chinese cabbage and mushrooms. The fin of the fish, also prized, is steeped in hot sake (rice wine) to make a drink called hire-zake. Feeling brave? Tora-Fugu Tei is a tasty spot to try fugu prepared in various ways.
Yuzu and Mikan
Yuzu ready for picking from Flickr cc by dacheket
Yuzu, a citrus fruit prized for its fragrant, almost floral aroma, comes into season during winter. Thin strips of yuzu peel are added to tea, broths, pickles, and salads. Grated, the peel is used to garnish grilled fish and chicken. On Toji, the winter solstice, many people enjoy yuzu buro — the practice relaxing in tubs of steaming bath water with whole fresh yuzu floating on the surface.
Winter kotatsu and mikan from Flickr cc by Miyuki Kobayashi
Mikan (Japanese tangerine) are also a staple for snacking and getting your vitamin C throughout the coldest months. Many winter nights are spent under a kotatsu (a low heated table with a blanket) watching TV, or reading while peeling and eating these seedless, sweet fruits. Several varieties grow in the southern regions of Japan. One of the most famous mikan-producing areas is Ehime on the island of Shikoku. Ehime even has a cute mikan mascot!

Yaki imo
Yaki imo from a street vendor from Flickr cc by masa mune
A traditional wintertime street food is yaki imo or roasted sweet potato. Sold by vendors from trucks equipped with wood-burning ovens, long roasting times give yaki imo a sweet, caramelized taste. You may also see young girls and guys snacking on another sweet treat popular during the winter — candied sweet potato fries with a sprinkling of sesame. Called daigaku imo (university potato), this cheap and filling street snack originated around college campuses in the Kanto region during the 19th century.Try your hand at making your own daigaku imo at home with this easy recipe.
These are just a few of the famous winter foods common in Japan. Each region has its own specialties to add to this list. For foodies visiting during this season, terrific taste experiences await you!

GENEROUS market traders raised more than £1,300 to help a brave young boy living with an agonising skin condition complete his bucket list.
Stallholders hosted a fun day at the market to raise money for eight-year-old Johnson Fold boy Rhys Williams, who suffers from epidermolysis bullosa (EB), which causes painful skin blistering and leads to open sores.
A bouncy castle, hook-a-duck, darts game and coconut stand were among the attractions on offer, as the traders raised £1,343 for Rhys' bucket list.
Phil Payne, a stallholder and manager of Farnworth Indoor Market, said: "It was brilliant, everybody enjoyed doing it for Rhys.
"We know he has this bucket list of wishes, including going on holiday.
"Rhys was able to be there all day and he absolutely loved it."
The Johnson Fold Primary School pupil's bucket list includes treating his sister Michaela, aged 11, to a day being a princess and going to Spain on holiday.
One wish which has already come to pass was to see his parents Tanya Moores and Mark Williams marry, which happened on February 28.

|RE: [jira] [Commented] (DERBY-5561) Race conditions in LogicalConnection checking for a null physical connection
|Wed, 28 Dec 2011 18:18:16 GMT
There are two threads accessing the same connection but this is because of the connection pool. When you configure a connection pool in Glassfish you can configure error handling on the pool. One option that can be configured is to configure the connection pool such that any error on any connection in the pool causes all of the connections in the pool to be destroyed and recreated. The management of the pool is under control of the application server. So how my application got into this state is that one connection experienced an error. This was NOT the connection that was committing the transaction. The connection error was detected by the pool management code of Glassfish and it was configured to destroy all connections. So this code, in a separate thread, went through the connection list and called closed each of the connections. The timing is right and the synchronization is wrong so between the time the LogicalConnection checks for a null physical connection and the time it uses the physical connection, it is now null. Note that many of the methods are synchronized and some are not. They should all be synchronized as obviously there is a window of opportunity between checking for a null physical connection and using the physical connection. With the synchronization, the pool management code of Glassfish that is closing the connections would have blocked on trying to null out the physical connection while the real transaction finished (it has the lock) or it could be that the physical connection would be null'ed out and then the checkForNullPhysicalConnection would have detected this and thrown its own exception. Either scenario is correct and consistent but instead what happens is that checkForNullPhysicalConnection does not see a null physical connection and then by the time it uses that physical connection it becomes null and then a NPE is thrown. -----Original Message----- From: Kathey Marsden (Commented) (JIRA) [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Sent: Wednesday, December 28, 2011 12:59 PM To: email@example.com Subject: [jira] [Commented] (DERBY-5561) Race conditions in LogicalConnection checking for a null physical connection [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5561?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13176727#comment-13176727 ] Kathey Marsden commented on DERBY-5561: --------------------------------------- Do you have multiple threads accessing the same connection at the same time? If so is it intentional? Typically when that is being done it is not intentional as even if the various methods were synchronized the two threads would share transaction and other state that would be difficult to coordinate. > Race conditions in LogicalConnection checking for a null physical connection > ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: DERBY-5561 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DERBY-5561 > Project: Derby > Issue Type: Bug > Components: Network Client > Affects Versions: 10.8.2.2 > Environment: Solaris 10 > Glassfish V2.1.1 > ClientXADataSource connection pool > Reporter: Brett Bergquist > > There are race conditions with checkForNullPhysicalConnection calls in LogicalConnection. checkForNullPhysicalConnection is not synchronized and it checks for the member "phsyicalConnection" which can be cleared by "nullPhsyicalConnection" (which is synchronized) and "close" (which is synchronized) and "closeWithoutRecyclingToPool" (which is synchronized). > This affects "nativeSQL", "getAutoCommit", "getTransactionIsolation", "getWarnings", "isReadOnly", "getCatalog", "getTypeMap", "createStatement", "prepareCall", "prepareStatement", "setHoldability", "getHoldability", "setSavePoint", "rollBack", "releaseSavePoint", "getSchema", "setSchema". > All of these call "checkForNullPhysicalConnection" and then use the member "physicalConnection" after that call returns.

Battlefield is a shooter that the MP is aimed squarely at core gamers for. Competing against other people is always more difficult and varied than any single player campaign. I would argue that casuals are what campaigns are aimed at, not core gamers.

Sounds like the FPS genre isn't for you then friend. Others happen to enjoy SP FPS games/ campaigns, but I guess our taste in games is dry to the bone because we care about the Single Player.
You can't apply what you think a particular game is worth to everybody, I thought Wolfenstein TNO was worth the full price, so get mad.

People who think like TC are what's causing the AAA industry to stagnate.
Most idiotic post in the entire thread. I would have to say, judging by that comment, your brain was ''tacked on'' during the formation of your vital organs during pregnancy. Lol, gtfo.
That **** doesnt even make sense. Game with AAA budget releases average length single player campaign, and offers pretty much no replayability with the game. Yeah, something is stagnating alright.
The game is ****ing awesome, but i find myself running around hopping, sliding, and using MP tactics against the enemy AI. Why? Because the core mechanics of the game are what make a good multiplayer.
As for the ''tacked on'' comments, yeah, there are many games that ''tack on'' MP. This game was something different as far as the gameplay goes for SP, and if they carried over everything from SP, and had MP modes--even if using large areas from levels in the single player for multiplayer levels--it wouldnt feel ''tacked on''. But ****, even if it was ''tacked on'', it would still be fun.
Call of Duty feels ''tacked on'' because after they made the first game with the hit multiplayer, they kept releasing the same multiplayer with nothing more to offer than the previous ones. Thats pretty much as ''tacked on'' as it gets. THAT is the crap that is causing AAA games to stagnate, not people wanting more of a good thing, or expecting the developer of a AAA title with millions of dollars to put into production to have MP in their game...which is after all, a FPS.
I find it hard to believe that they didnt at least try to put one together. Maybe it wasnt going to be ready for release or something, so they canned it. I wouldnt mind getting some free MP DLC, or even paid MP DLC, as long as it wasnt some ridiculous price.

The thing about Gamefaqs is, if you enjoy something...someone is waiting around the corner to tell you that you suck and should be as miserable as they are!
Sorry but that s**** to funny. So why am I not allowed to enjoy this for its sp??? I know lots of people who play SP for their story's. Bioshock is the first series to come to mind, is it not funny the best 2 are the ones without a tacked on MP? Funny that.. But yea playing in first person is by far the most immersive way to take in a story. saying people can't enjoy them for their story is just plain stupid. Stop hating and follow your own quote up there. Thanks.
Italy's out so is the US, just damn... :-(
There are just way too many games out there that has really crappy add on type online multiplayer, and most of them aren't even needed because most people don't even play them.
So, no it doesn't need a crappy online multiplayer.
If you want an online multiplayer just go play the normal ones like any of the Battlefield games or CoD games or Halo games or Gears of War games or some others that I have missed.
Xbox360/One + PS3/4 + Wii U + PC = Awesomeness!!!
