Mr. MERKLEY. The word's ``fiscal responsibility'' have echoed in this Chamber time after time and they have been put forward in defense of a series of strategies this year that can only be described as incredibly irresponsible.
Let's turn the clock back 6 months. We tried to convene a budget conference committee with the House and it was blocked. The budget conference committee was not blocked with the argument of fiscal responsibility. Yet there was a blockade of putting together a budget so we could have a smart plan to go forward and a foundation for the appropriations bills.
Then colleagues across the aisle blocked the appropriations process. They argued it was fiscally responsible to do so. But that meant keeping programs that are not working and continuing them rather than replacing them with better plans. So that, too, was irresponsible.
Then we had folks argue it would be fiscally responsible if we shut down the government. But this is costing America. This is decreasing revenue. This is increasing expenses and it is increasing the deficit. Therefore, we have imposed by this group who argues in the name of fiscal responsibility that we have a tax across America, the government shutdown tax imposed on families across the land. If that was not enough, not enough to block the budget process, not enough to block the appropriations process, not enough to shut down the government, now we have a group wanting to go even further. They have their grand default strategy. They want the United States to default and they argue this will do us well fiscally.
They could not be more wrong. In the Banking Committee we had a series of experts come in and we asked the question, What will happen if we default? Just simple examples were given. For example, the interest rate will go up on mortgages. A 1-percent increase on a mortgage means for a family buying a 200,000 house, about $120 more a month. That is the shutdown and the default tax that colleagues are imposing on families across America.
It doesn't stop there. Everything based on interest rates goes up. Everything based on income from economic activity goes down. Expenses of safety net programs go up; in other words, the deficit goes up and the debt goes up.
Let's stop this irresponsibility of blocking the budget process, blocking the appropriations process, shutting down the government, and imposing a default tax on families across this land. It is not only incredibly wrongheaded, it is doing great damage to families in every county, in every State across the United States of America. At this moment in this vote we are about to have, let's end this attack on the American families. Let's end this irresponsibility.

NA (aka Daniel Pineda, one half of L.A. production duo NGUZUNGUZU alongside Asma Maroof) returns to Fade To Mind with the Cellar EP, his second solo release following 2013's Xtreme Tremble. The artwork is rather instructive as to what lies beneath the trap door – dark, deconstructed, forward-thinking club music that spars with themes of technology and degradation. In 'Cellar Theme', clanking torture dungeon percussion alternates with more glossy territory, while 'Definite Sentence' deals in deep bass pulses and whirring FX that call to mind the first Jam City album. The arresting 'NA In A Mood' pairs twinkling outer space melodies with abrasive drums, and draws an end to Pineda's fascinating study of contrasts.

Sadly, I couldn't find that piece of fluorite... I know I have it somewhere... *ahem* Probably under some pile of random crafting stuff.
(advance apologies for the below cross-posting, and for image overdose...)
I took the opportunity to finish a PURPLE MONSTER BACKPACK! Yes, that's right folks! A monster bag with a twist! I made it for a coworker's little girl who is just two or three years old and loves Dora the Explorer. As soon as she got it, she apparently started hugging it and crooning, "Backpack, Backpack." (Backpack is the name of Dora's... what else... backpack. )
Inside, a silky white lining. Please ignore the bad sewing, thanks.
The back, with straps of white nylon.
Obligatory action shot (I know the straps are way too small for me, haha.)
I'll see if I can get a picture of her with it. I feel great, I love giving handmade things to people, especially since it's a pretty young, cash-strapped family. <3 Thank you, Craftster.

Duck's Story How He Saved Sodor is a special from the ERTL Thomas series.
Duck tells Thomas and Percy a story how he saved Sodor from a mean exrpess engine called Wellsworth.
- US Narrator: Michael Brandon (at the sheds)
- UK Narrator: Michael Angelis (at the sheds)
- The story narrated by Ringo Starr (US)/Pierce Brosnan (UK) as Duck the Great Western Engine.
- First special to focus on Duck.
- First apperences of Wellsworth.
- The events took place in 1997.
- Narrator: One day, at the yards, Thomas, Percy and Duck were talking about an engine being destroyed.
- Duck: Remember Percy, you may run into danger, and one of the other engines is not here to save you.
- Percy: I know.
- Duck: Then you fall off a cliff and get destroyed.
- Percy: Really?
- Duck: Then, you are salvaged and repaired.
- Percy: And then, I look good as new.
- Duck: Yep. Right, Thomas.
- Thomas: That's right, Duck. Will you tell us a story about you saving Sodor.
- Duck: Yes, my friends. (begins the story) Long ago in March 1997 when I was working with Wilbert, Oliver, Percy and James, Sir Topham Hatt told us that another engine will be there to pull frieght cars.
- Sir Topham Hatt: A new engine is coming to pull frieght on the main line.
- Duck: A new engine. Yes, sir. I will warn him about any trouble.
- Sir Topham Hatt: Yes, you will.
- Duck: Thanks, sir. (narrating) And the new engine did arrive. He looked very mean and spiteful to us.
- Wellsworth: Hi, my name's Wellsworth. And I am here to pull frieght on the main line.
- Duck: Be careful.
- Wellsworth: I know.
- Duck: Don't let the frieght cars play tricks on you. (narrating) But Wellsworth took no notice. Soon, he reached the yards. The frieght cars were silly and noisy.
- Frieght Cars: Don't bump us or else we'll push you!
- Wellsworth: SHUT UP!! Don't play tricks on me!!
- Duck: (narrating) Wellsworth was coupled to the frieght cars. And he pulled them away from the yards. Soon, he reached the quarry. City of Wellsworth was hoping for a rest, but his driver thought him other wise.
- Wellsworth's Driver: We'll leave those now, and fetch some coaches for James to take.
- Wellsworth: Coaches?! James?!
- Duck: (narrating) Wellsworth could not believe what he had heard. Soon, James' coaches were fetched snd he was on his way.
- James: Come on, let's get you to the station.
- Duck: (narrating) Soon, Wellsworth saw Percy on the edge of the cliff.
- Wellsworth: Goodbye, Percy!
- Duck: (narrating) And he pushed Percy over the edge of the cliff. Percy screamed as he fell down towards the deep ravine. He hit it with a loud smash.
- Percy: Ow, that hurts.
- Wellsworth: (evily laugh)
- Duck: (narrating) A large crane lifted Percy on its flatbed. His funnel and dome were cracked. His cab roof was dented. One of his wheels were bent His front and back ends were badly twisted. The side of his saddletanks were ripped into, creating a hole. His siderods were broken. And worse of all, his green was badly scratched.
- Percy: (opens his eyes) What happened? Did I get hurt?
- Duck: Are you okay, Percy?
- Percy: Yeah.
- Duck: (narrating) Oliver pulled Percy into the Crovan's Gate Works to get repaired and repainted. Later, he came out of the Crovan's Gate Works and looked good as new.
- Percy: I now feel like a new engine.
- Duck: Thanks, Percy. (narrating) Later, Wellsworth saw his rival, Stuart, the Tender Engine on a siding.
- Wellsworth: Good bye, Stuart.
- Stuart: Oh my goodness!
- Duck: (narrating) Wellsworth backed up and bashed a frieght car of bombs and it hit Stuart and blew up. Stuart layed on his side, dead. Wellsworth puffed right behind him.
- Wellsworth: (evily laugh)
- Duck: (narrating) Later, Wilbert and James saw Stuart's corspe.
- James: Not Stuart!!
- Wilbert: He's dreadfully rude.
- Wellsworth: (screams) AAAHH!
- Wilbert: (screams) AAAH!
- (Wilbert hits Wellsworth and he crashes through the buffers, which slow him to a stop)
- Duck: (narrating) Wilbert hit Wellsworth and he smashed through the buffers, which slowed him to a stop. His tender broke loose and tumbled into the valley below.
- (Wellsworth is hanging over the edge. He screams)
- Welsworth: Heelpp!
- Duck: (narrating) Wellsworth was hanging over the edge of the cliff. I arrived and coupled up to Wilbert. And I pull harder and harder. At last, the coupling broke, as I pulled Wilbert from Wellsworth. Wellsworth slide over over the edge of the cliff.

We are trying to take inventory before we choose and setup our network. I need to take inventory of all machines (some of which are not on the network). I also have 5 locations I will be dealing with. Does Spiceworks take into account these extra locations and differentiate the ip adddress at the different locations (i.e. ip address 192.168.1.100 may be at two different locations (not just a duplicate ip address)). When I installed it to the thumb drive it took a very long time to install, and now that I'm loading it from the first machine, it has been close to an hour and still not loaded.
This topic was created during version 3.0.
The latest version is 7.5.00101.

Could you load it on a laptop and take it to each location?
Aug 14, 2008 at 1:23 UTC
We are looking into that possibility. It could take a long while to actually locate the computer we would use as there is not a good inventory system showing where they are. This is also why it would be more efficient to just simply use the program on a usb device and inventory each system (and goto each location) and make notes in the program as to what location each machine is at. I am obviously still new to this program. I have seen other programs that allowed a picture of a jpg and it could have rooms set aside and you could tell the program what users were in that room and where, and you could tell it what computers were in that room and what users or groups of users used each pc. i hope this utility has a similar option, or at least a comments tab if nothing else. The goal here is to inventory everything and unify all the networks together. we may have to upgrade some machines depending on our decisions about which network to use and server etc... I.E. we may decide to go with vista on all the machines and need to figure out which machines need upgrades to ram, os, hd space, etc.
I appreciate the quick response, but really would prefer a feesible way to use a usb device. I found some usb 2.0 devices on sale today (2 GB). They say they support U3 technology. Is spiceworks U3 compatible ?

bombeater posted a topic in GDNet Comments, Suggestions, and IdeasThis is what I see when I try to read this [url="http://www.gamedev.net/page/resources/_/technical/game-programming/spatial-hashing-r2697"]Spatial Hashing article[/url]: [img]https://dl.dropbox.com/u/7627133/codesample.png[/img] All of the articles are like this... it makes the code samples pretty useless. Should I be viewing them through another source or something?
bombeater replied to bombeater's topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingThis is perfect. Thank you so much. I could hug you right now.
bombeater posted a topic in General and Gameplay ProgrammingI have what is undoubtedly a common problem, but I don't know what it's called, and thus am having trouble finding solutions. Suppose in a game, holding down the right arrow makes the player's avatar move 2 pixels to the right. If the game loop runs 100 times per second, then the avatar moves 200 pixels per second. But of course, we cannot rely on the game loop running the same amount of times every second. If the game loop runs 10 times the next second, the avatar will only move 20 pixels. I know that in the vocabulary of graphics programming, the solution to this is called "frame locking", but I'm not just talking about animation updates; this affects the physics of gameplay itself. The game I'm currently writing is also networked using a client/server approach, so it affects multiplayer balance as well. What is this problem called? Where can I start finding some basic solutions? So far it seems like I'll need to keep track of physics updates the same way an FPS-lock keeps track of frame draws, and lock them similarly. It would be great to see some discussion of the topic, though. I don't mind if the best articles only cover the non-networked case; if I know how to solve it for an offline single-player context, I can probably figure it out from there using my meager existing knowledge about latency handling and client-side prediction.

Aphrodite, Hera, Athena, Demeter, Artemis, (should have Hestia)
Male Members
Zeus, Poseidon, Hephaestus, Ares, Apollo, Hermes, Hades (should be Dionysus)
This show is well known for is unique depictions of the Greek gods. Most were shown as gigantic (approximately 10–12 ft tall) humanoids possessing .When in their natural form, an echo would accompany their voice whenever they spoke.Instead of classic attire resembling that which human nobility often employed during Hellenic times, the Olympians were instead depicted as wearing brightly-colored clothing more typical of a warrior's formal attire... the exceptions being Hera, Demeter, and Hephaestus.
Each god has specific powers based on what they force represent, but they all share certain powers and even abilities specific to their individual domains can sometimes overlap.Each of the Big Three, after overthrowing the Titans, took one of the three physical domains on earth (the heavens, ocean, and the underworld). This is why the Big Three are the most powerful and influential gods on Olympus.
Powers shared by all tend to include Immortality, the abilities to fly and teleport, Supernatural powers of a magical nature (as opposed to cosmic), Ability to alter their appearances at will; including reducing themselves to the size of a typical human, as well as completely altering their looks, voices, and even gender.
Gods possess a nearly limitless amount of magical control over their domain, as well as many general powers including levitation, teleportation, telepathy, manipulating the elements, among other vast amounts of control over the world. The limits of a god's power in this regard is unknown, as is to what extent they can cross into the domain of another.

- Poseidon: Sea
- Hades: Underworld
- Hera: Marriage

- Apollo: Music
- Artemis: Hunting
In Greek mythology, the gods, also called the Olympians (Δωδεκάθεον), were the principal gods of the Greek pantheon, residing atop Mount Olympus, a forbidden place for any mortal to travel. There were 12 original Olympians, which included: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, and Hestia (she later gave up her throne for Dionysus). Hades was not included because he resided in his home of the Underworld, barely speaking with any of the gods.
The 12 Olympians gained their supremecy in the world of gods after Zeus led his siblings to victory in the war with the Titans. The original Olympians were: Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Demeter, Hestia, and Hades. Athena, the Hours, the Fates, the Graces, Persephone, the Muses, Artemis, Apollo, Aphrodite, Hephaestus, Hebe, Ares, Eilytheia, Hermes, Dionysus and Heracles were the children of Zeus and later recognized as Olympians.

The best-selling LEGO Batman videogame franchise returns in an out-of-this-world, action-packed adventure!Read full description
The best-selling LEGO Batman videogame franchise returns in an out-of-this-world, action-packed adventure! In LEGO Batman™ 3: Beyond Gotham, the Caped Crusader joins forces with the super heroes of the DC Comics universe and blasts off to outer space to stop the evil Brainiac from destroying Earth. Using the power of the Lantern Rings, Brainiac shrinks worlds to add to his twisted collection of miniature cities from across the universe.

Very seldomly do DC Comics fans receive a game of this magnitude; it allows you to explore iconic DC Universe locations as well as all seven Lantern Worlds. This game almost triples the amount of playable characters from the last game, adds celebrity performances from Conan O'Brian, Kevin Smith and Adam West, and changes the way characters switch suits. The game features copious amounts of trademark Lego humor and the story as well as side quests all help to create the feeling of a large-scale DC world. However, the level design can be repetitive, the game has some bugs, and open-world of previous games has been sacrificed to create a series of "mini-hubs" (similarly to The Lego Movie Videogame). Also, if you don't have a fairly good understanding of the DC lore, it might be hard to follow the story, which unlike the past games follows the Justice League rather that Batman almost exclusively. If you're a DC fan or a fan of previous Lego Games, you should definitely consider adding this one to your collection!
Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham is a typical game of the LEGO series, with its main attributes, such as the local cooperative, the humorous narrative and platform elements. One annoying thing is that just playing in story mode, you can not finish the game 100%, since you need to use different characters to access certain sites. Although it extend the play time for those who like to spend weeks playing the same game, becomes a discouraging point for the other players. Another well annoying defect of the game is the lack of sense of depth in some parts of the scene, which combined with static camera that does not always help can cause some stress on the player who suffers to pass some point that should be simple, but the problems cited becomes complicated. The game's soundtrack follows the pattern of the other Lego games, and the gameplay and controls also follow this pattern. I recommend this game to everyone, especially those who loves Lego.
Lego Batman 3 is a game in which you play as Batman and others DC characters. The game takes place in Gotham City and you have to play the campaign to fight the vilains to save the city. The game have the possibility of Free Roam and also to complete the missions. The gameplay is similar to the other Lego games produced and so are the graphics, which are very good since the game is very simple and without so many details. The game is great to people who like DC Comics and Lego. I would recommend it to all my friends, especially who likes comics from DC and to who likes Lego games and toys.
LEGO have done it again and produced another game that will keep me entertained for hours! And I got it for such a good price here on GMG. I also get to save Adam West for stupid situations, Stephen Amell (Arrow) makes a guest voice appearance as Green Arrow and there's lots of DC Superheroes and Villains to choose from! Lots of fun dialogue between the characters, especially from the villains! The fact there was no open world was kind of disappointing having just played LEGO Marvel and LEGO LOTR but still a good game and definitely worth a play. One thing that did bug me is all the different costumers one character can wear, it sometime can be confusing but simply pressing 'B' at a point a costume is needed will automatically change you to the correct costume with you needed to scroll through them yourself.
Lately, media has been getting saturated with gritty remakes of comic characters, making them "more believable" and "darker." What we sometimes forget is that comics are silly, and this game is an exemplary sample of that silliness inherent in comic characters. The LEGO games are already brilliantly written, filled with so much wit and sarcasm, at some points. Add to that the ridiculous, and totally real characters like Bat Cow, Dex-starr, and that Superman/Batman hybrid abomination, and you get for an interesting cast of characters in a wonderfully written game. It's less about Batman than it is about the silliness of comics altogether. All I'm missing is Adam West. This is perfect for kids, which will ease them into comics, and for old comics fans, which will remind them of the child-like qualities of appreciation for the material. Not everything is serious, and this game is on the top of that list of not-serious stuff.

I'm sure we've all been privy to the wonderful world of mis-tells/types. Unfortunately for us typists there is no real way to avoid this as of now.
How would you feel about adding PM boxes to the UI? something that can be minimized and keep the conversation with that one person private and separate from the rest of your chats. Seeing as how /tell is used for more than personal conversations I hope that it doesn't automatically open a new box, but instead if you click on their name it will give you the option.

Michelle Perk took over the microphone in Southeast Middle School's gym, where every student at the school gathered Friday morning to witness what has become an annual tradition.
"Are we ready to cut some hair?" Perk asked, drawing cheers from the students.
Since October, the students had been working toward a goal of $10,000, which will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation, in honor of her mother, Mollee Vicknair. As of 7:30 a.m., when the chairs, scissors and clippers were being lined up, they were just $500 short of their goal, but donors quickly filled the gap.
The morning's festivities included three shaved heads and six cut ponytails, totaling an estimated 52 inches of hair — which will be donated to make wigs for cancer patients who have lost their hair. They also held a "best dressed in pink" contest and a raffle drawing to cut Perk's hair.
Perk and her daughter Annabella both volunteered to cut their hair for the event.
"They've been growing their hair out for a while now," said Mollee Vicknair, mother and grandmother to the pair, whose battle with breast cancer inspired the fundraiser, in the first place.
"Everyone pulls together like family here. It's great to see this much support," Vicknair said.
The first time Vicknair had cancer, 20 years ago, Perk was 14 years old — the same age her students are now. "Michelle was so strong; she always has been," Vicknair said of her daughter. Vicknair's son, 3 years old at the time she was going through chemotherapy, had a harder time understanding what was happening, she said, and it was Perk who helped him through.
"And me. When I was really sick, she would make my favorite meal, which was peanut butter and jelly with root beer," Vicknair said.
Watching her daughter, a single mom, round up the support of an entire student body for her and other breast cancer patients, Vicknair couldn't be more proud.
In truth, Perk said, the credit for the fundraiser goes to her students.
When she starts off the year, Perk said her goal is to forge her students into a family.
"I want them supporting each other. It's fine to be competitive, and they are, but when they see each other struggling, the kids who get it will jump in and help each other out."
That applies to everything from the classroom to personal and family problems, she said. All she had to do was tell her students how helpless she felt when her mother was sick for the fourth time.
In response, Perk and her students started the Baton Rouge Kids Fighting Cancer Race for the Cure team in 2010. "I asked them what they wanted the goal to be, and one of my students, Chauncy Honore, yelled out, '10 grand!' Perk said, "I didn't tell them it was too high; I didn't discourage them. I said, 'OK. Let's do it.' "
At the end of three weeks, they had met their goal, and Perk cut 14 inches off her hair. For the next few years, they just did fundraising and had an annual presence as a team at the Race for the Cure, walking in honor of Vicknair.
Over the years, they've added both team members and survivors to their group and, since Perk's hair had grown back, went for another $10,000 goal.
"We're well over $10,000 now," Perk said — more than $30,000 in all.
This year, the school had 75 students participating in the March 7 walk, plus a few teachers and parents. Most of the students' entry fees were paid by Perk's friends from all over the world. Aside from learning the benefits of volunteering and getting involved, Perk said her students are learning that they can set and meet goals that seem too big, if they set their minds to it.
But it's also a day of fun for everyone. Winn-Dixie provided a catered lunch at the Perkins Road Community Park and a day of rock wall climbing after the race.
Perk doesn't intend to stop anytime soon, nor will her students.
"They look forward to this all year," Perk said. "We've gone from a team of two to more than 100. So there's no telling. Each year, we keep multiplying and getting bigger. Last year, we were at 60 people; this year 100, and hopefully next year, we'll be at 200. I'm so proud of my kids. I want the world to know how hard they work and that they are capable of accomplishing great things."

Tai Chi & Diabetes: Serenity for a Complex Disease
Tai chi is known as the stress manager. Often referred to as meditation in motion, the gentle movements and tranquility that the graceful art provides are unparalleled and unmatched by other forms of exercise. Tai chi was born in China and over the years has become a staple in aiding in improving health conditions such as diabetes.
Tai chi is a self-paced form of stretching that incorporates a series of movements that are slow in mannerism. Each movement performed flows into the next to ensure the body is continuously moving in a gentle fashion. There are many variations of tai chi depending upon the style which an individual is practicing, although its overall principle and emphasis is placed on movement. The focus of all tai chi is to promote wellbeing and to ease stress. The intensity of tai chi depends upon the individual's preference as there are both fast and slow-paced forms of the anti-stress art form. Some forms of tai chi that may be suitable for some are not necessarily suitable for others.
Research as recently as 2008 showed that tai chi can improve blood sugar levels in type 2 diabetics. Two studies were performed by the British Journal of Sports Medicine in which they found that a 12 week program of tai chi had a significant effect in type 2 diabetics, specifically with their T cell activity. The levels of the type 2 diabetics' blood sugar levels fell from roughly 7.59% to 7.16% as long as the diabetic kept with the routine. Thus, it was concluded that participating in tai chi is definitely beneficial to type 2 diabetics given the amount of rigorous and vigorous, yet serene, movements associated with the exercise. The study also noted that when combined with Qigong, an energetic therapy, there were even more dramatic results in improved insulin resistance in type 2 diabetics' bodies. Many diabetics who participated in the tai chi study program also noted better sleep and a more vibrant, energetic feeling as well as better immune system responses. Tai chi has also been shown to relieve other forms of chronic pain, improve muscle flexibility and strength as well as relieving symptoms related to depression.
To get started with a tai chi program, there are many different options to take. There are books and DVDs about tai chi which detail the steps necessary to learn the principles behind the movements. There are also tai chi instructors, whose help is recommended especially to type 2 diabetics as they can educate clients on the underlying aspects of each technique and how it improves the effects of the disease on the body. There are often tai chi classes at senior centers, health clubs and fitness centers. Almost all tai chi classes run a period of 12 weeks, which allows a type 2 diabetic to see the benefits of the routine and movements. Individuals can always continue into more advanced sessions of tai chi to obtain a more centered and serene approach to life and overall energetic health.

We're all waiting patiently for more news to start coming out regarding The Thing prequel, and while we try to remain optimistic our fears just keep creeping up on us, no matter how much we're told things are going to turn out good.
MTV recently spoke with stars Joel Edgerton and Eric Christian Olsen about the film and the duo revealed the following:
"I was a fan of the original film," Edgerton tells MTV. "I did check out a little bit of what the fans were blogging about. It seems like in this world of so many remakes and prequels the first response is, 'Don't even go there!' You guys are in trouble now because you're making the film.' And then they wait to see whether it's going to be any good."
"I believe that as long as you stay true to the original kind of template of the movie or the rules of the movie, then you do your own thing with it," said Edgerton. "I think what [the fans] are worried about is it was going to be the spring break version of 'The Thing'… and it's definitely not that."
Hit up the above link for more or just watch the video below.
The Thing (2011) will strike theaters on April 29, 2011. The science-fiction horror thriller is currently the only nationwide release scheduled for that weekend, and it slots into the same timeframe that the Nightmare on Elm Street remake haunted earlier this year.
Matthijs van Heijningen, Jr. is directing from a screenplay by Eric Heisserer and Ronald D. Moore. The cast includes Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Jonathan Walker, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Dennis Storhøi, Trond Espen Seim, Jørgen Langhelle, Eric Christian Olsen, Stig Henrik Hoff, Jan Gunnar Røise, Kristofer Hivju, and Jo Adrian Haavind.
"Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman. In the thriller THE THING, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they're infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew's pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish."

Marijuana activist Bill Levin is perhaps the only person who has benefitted from Indiana's controversial religious freedom act. Thanks to Governor Mike Pence, he has opened the world's first church for pot smokers.
Although marijuana is currently illegal for medical and/or recreational use in Indiana, the adherents of "The First Church of Cannabis" will easily be able to use it as a sacrament – thanks to the state's Religious Freedom Restoration Act, which limits the government from interfering in people's religious practices.
"The church is based on love and understanding with compassion for all," Levin told the Washington Post. "If someone is smoking in our church, God bless them. This is a church to show a proper way of life, a loving way to live life. We are called 'cannataerians.'"

The new religion has no place of worship – at least not for now. It does, however, has a Facebook page which has amassed more than 20, 000 likes within a few days.
Levin says he's overwhelmed by the outpouring of support, and is hoping to expand the religion to accommodate more people.
"We are progressing to get a building property to be our holy ground," he stated. "We're going to set up counseling for heroin since we have a huge epidemic in this country. We'll probably have Alcoholics Anonymous, too. I'm not going to allow alcohol on the premise."

Avatar: The Legend Continues
Book 1 - ICE
Chapter 1

|Last chapter
This is the very first chapter.
|Next chapter
Avatar: The Legend Continues is about the future of the AVATAR WORLD. The story revolves around the newest Avatar, Mikko, an Air Nomad. In the future, all nations forgot about the Avatar and the benders because the previous Avatar was killed, and they don't know who in the Air Nomads is the Avatar. There are a few benders left, and the world is not balanced. The world is full of chaos and corruption. The gang of rouge benders are the ones who destroy the world the most, with the help of an earthbending master.
Mikko ventured out to the Fire Nation country and found a firebender named Ace. They became bestfriends, ventured to the Earth Kingdom, and met an earthbender named Jarod. He joined them. They went to the Northern Water Tribe, and found a waterbender named Christoffer. They taught Mikko all the elements, and promised to save the world.
Avatar: The Legend Continues. - Chapter One
Mikko, an Airbender, lived on the Northern Air Temple together with the monks. Mikko is only 11 years old, and he is an airbending prodigy. He also wants to save the world, but he thinks he can't. The monks noticed that he is very good with airbending, and more greater than their own. They soon realized that Mikko is the Avatar. A monk told them that they shouldn't tell Mikko that he is the Avatar, till he is old enough. That monk told them that maybe if he will be like Avatar Aang, he will just run away and leave the air temple.The monks didn't know that Mikko was listening!
Mikko said to himself: "Am I going to be proud of this? Of course! I'm the Avatar! I will be the one to save the world!" Mikko ran into his room and jumped off the window and bounced across the Air Bison field, and into the training field. Mikko practiced airbending moves, and he created a big hurricane, but he is able to control it. The monks saw what he is doing and they were proud! He was practicing the airscooter, but in offense style. An earthquake grumbled the temple and saw a rouge bender named Noel. Noel Destroyed HALF of the temple in just two blows! All the airbenders, including the monks, attacked him.
Noel earthbended some earth walls to block the attacks. Then, Mikko came. He created Air Hurricanes he practiced a while ago.
Noel covered himself with rocks and threw boulders at himself. Mikko used an airbending slice kick at Noel and broke the rock shield that Noel created. He used the airscooter to jump on Noel's head, and used it on Noel's head to make him dizzy.
Noel was so dizzy, and he fainted. The other airbenders took him to a room to interrogate him. The monks covered his body with an air sphere so he can't earthbend. He woke up and tried earthbending, but he couldn't move! The monks interrogated him:
"Why did you attack the Northern Air Temple?"
"Not telling..."
An airbender said: "Tell or I'll crush you."
Noel said: "I know you guys can't even kill a fly..."
The monk said: "Tell us... or we will--"
"What? Kill me? Try!"
Noel was just tricking them... because he has a team of rouge benders coming to kill AGAIN the airbenders!
Mikko felt their presence.
He shouted: "ROUGE BENDERS ARE COMING!"
All airbenders jumped of their windows and prepared for battle.
There were 3 rouge benders coming. The 1st one was a waterbender. The second....an airbender. The third was a firebender. The waterbender introduced himself: "My name is Jericho! I was a former warrior of the Northern Water Tribe, but know...I will drown you all!" The waterbender created a big tidal wave, preparing it to destroy the temple. The airbender of the group introdueced himself boastfully: "Hey, are you guys forgetting something? Lemme hear a wootwoot?....nothing? Well, that was extemely rude, but I don't wanna be rude as you guys, so I am Kevin, an airbender as you all can see; I am from the Western Air Temple, and I killed my foster father, and I am so awesome! You guys are wasting your time training with some old monks! You should be out killing, and out to rule the WORLD!". The airbenders attacked him, but the firebender of the team saved Kevin. Kevin prepared a big hurricane, bigger than Mikko's. The firebender said: "Stop fooling around, Kevin! We're here to kill them and not to brag about your life! Now, I think it's my turn to introduce myself... I am Robin of AreSelk town, one of the smallest towns in the Fire Nation. I am one of the most powerful firebenders in the whole world. I can just burn this temple in one blow, like burning my town down to the ground!" Robin quickly used fire stream attacks on top of the temple. The temple was burning very fast! The airbenders helped each other put out the fire. Some airbenders went inside it to kill the fire from the inside. These airbenders went to their rooms to pack up and got their gliders. The monks went to the air bison field and got all the young airbenders there. The older ones were out fighting. The monks rode the all of the bison with all the young airbenders.The monks went to the battle field and the airbenders flew and went on top of bison. Monk Jason stayed behind and attacked the Benders. He was roughly injured and hurt. Mikko was listening to his screaming. Mikko was too scared to fight. But he remembered that he is the Avatar. He stood up, went to his room, packed up, got his glider, and jumped down of his window, attacked the rouge benders and said: "Don't... hurt.... my..... friend!" He was suddenly in Avatar State. He smashed the ground and suddenly he was so wild, he threw the benders off the cliff! Robin saved them by using his firebending to create a jet... and flew far away. Mikko started to calm down. Monk Jason got him and was looking at Mikko. He said: "You really are the Avatar. Master Water first, it will let you heal yourself. Trust me." Suddenly... Robin attacked and he killed Monk Jason. Mikko was so angry. He decided to master Fire first. He wanted to get revenge on Robin for killing his friend which he can also call,his father.

Hello Jan, usually it's the WebDAV client (in this case OpenOffice 3.2.1) that should (must?) lock the file. That is, it's not the server that's going to automatically lock the file when someone opens it, but it's the client (XML editor) that asks the server explicitly to lock the file when opening it and then to unlock it when closing the file. For example, XMLMind's XXE works this way (didn't try lots of other editors, but I think this is the way things are to be done). Good luck. 2010/9/22 Jan Pernica <email@example.com>: > Hi.

The New Golden Door to Retirement and Living in Costa Rica 14th Edition
Costa Rica's friendly three million people, or Ticos as they affectionately call themselves, invite you to come and experience their tranquil country, with its long and beautiful coastlines, alluring waters of the Caribbean and the Pacific, pristine beaches and some of the most picturesque surroundings you have ever laid your eyes on. Many visitors say Costa Rica is even more beautiful than Hawaii, and best of all, still unspoiled. In Fact, Costa Rica took over Hawaii's place as best adventure destination last year, as revealed by the publication Pacific Business News, of Honolulu. Costa Rica has Hawaii's weather, spectacular green mountains, and beaches without the high prices. The country offers more beauty and adventure per acre than any other place in the world. In the heart of the Central Valley, surrounded by beautiful rolling mountains and volcanoes, sits San Jos , today's capital and largest city in the country. Viewed from above, this area looks like some parts of Switzerland. Downtown San Jos is always bustling with activity.

Give your strands the extra attention they deserve with this deeply hydrating treatment, which uses obliphica oil to amp up shine, restore vibrancy, and even help repair split ends. You'll notice the difference after just one use, and over time your hair will be visibly stronger and healthier. What's more, this nourishing formula is free of sulfates and parabens.
This product is AMAZING!!! I love the smell, the texture and the results so much I cant wait to add it to my regulars. The smell is out of this world. I am a berry addict and the blueberry smell is perfect for me. The texture is rich and creamy and it left my hair feeling silky and soft. Will definitely be purchasing this asap.5
I love this hair mask because it smells SO GOOD!! All the amika products have this great smell, and it's worth using for that alone! I will say, that I've used some great hair masks and this one doesn't deep condition the way my thick hair needs. If you're looking for a powerful deep conditioner I'd look for another product, but this does keep my hair feeling shiny and smelling great!4
I got the sample size in one of my boxes and I was hooked right away. The smell of this is addictingly pleasant. I found myself smelling my hair throughout the day. Also it is a long lasting scent. When I ran out of the sample size (and waiting for the larger size to arrive) I had to use a different not so norishing conditioner and I could still smell this product after washing. Leaves my hair really hydrated, soft and shiny. Love it!5

A convert well-worth knowing: Here is a bit on his biography, and here something about his views, both from Apropos, successor magazine to Approaches, which was edited by Fraser. He was a keen student of the Spanish Civil war, and was associated with Michael Davies and Fr. Paul Crane as a leader of traditional Catholics in the UK when the Latin Mass was taken away.

Regarding Richard Stagnoli's recent letter, titled "We have football team with a university attached":
On Jan. 9, The Advocate published "Oil prices could lead to future cuts to colleges and universities" by Mark Ballard and Elizabeth Crisp. The article appeared eight pages in. The same issue carried, on the front page, a lead to news about recruitment of a "defensive coordinator" for a university football team.
A slough of articles has dealt with the obvious interest of Louisiana readers in the "defensive coordinator," whose salary is now known to range circa $1 million, virtually twice the remuneration to any academician on the same campus and many multiples of the wages paid to the typical instructor.
For years, repeated and stinging budget cuts have pulverized academics at Louisiana's public universities. The next cut portends to be in the vicinity of $300 million.
If the state wanted to cut the budget, one BIG cut should have been made, years ago, for all time. What the academic community has witnessed, however, is like the cat, which, before biting off the head of the mouse, plays with it sadistically and repeatedly.
Louisiana's phenomenon in budgeting is a problem in priorities, epitomized in column inches devoted to academics vis-a-vis athletics.
While the cuts occur in academics, thousands of seats have been added to a university football stadium, and football coaches receive evermore astronomical salaries.
These priorities cannot be excused by assertions that the academic allocation is from state appropriations and the football budget from private and voluntary donations. The money comes, in either case, from the same people, from Louisiana's people, the people who read this newspaper.
Louisiana is making its choice — football over academics. It's the signal we send to the rest of the world.
Other states have winning football teams and pay their coaches handsomely. But, if those teams lose, those states still have something to bank on. Yes, Alabama lost the Sugar Bowl, but a few miles outside Tuscaloosa is a sprawling Mercedes-Benz factory, showing the trust of a large multinational firm in the future of Alabama.
In Louisiana, the same firm invests in advertising, to emblazon its name on the Louisiana Superdome. Once that advertising contract is finished, no certitude of a continuing allocation exists, and in the meantime, the only jobs created were those to put the letters on the roof of the Dome.
Don't like the priorities? What are you doing to change them? Educationally, Louisiana is falling further and further behind.

'Judge Judy' Sparks Hammer Attack
January 11, 2012 by staff
'Judge Judy' Sparks Hammer Attack, Janet Ann Knowles apparently doesn't like Judge Judy. The 62-year-old Jupiter woman was arrested Sunday on aggravated battery charges after she hit a 65-year-old man on the head with a hammer after she got "upset with Judge Judy," according to a police report obtained by the Palm Beach Post.
According to the report, the man was sitting on his recliner watching the judge's show when Knowles lost her cool and attacked him with the hammer.
When officers responded to the home, they found the unnamed victim holding bloody paper towels to his head, where he'd sustained a large cut, the report said.
Knowles told the officers she was upset "Judge Judy" was on the TV and became "mad" and hit the man with the hammer, the report said.
The report said Knowles had trouble holding a conversation and started talking about a neighbor and what the neighbor was wearing.
Knowles was arrested and booked into the Palm Beach County jail, where she remains held without bond. It was unknown whether she has an attorney.
The victim, whose relationship to Knowles was unknown, was treated for his injuries at the scene.

History repeats itself first as tragedy, then as farce, Karl Marx once wrote. What then to make of the possibility that Italy's disgraced and discredited former leader Silvio Berlusconi has announced he will undertake his sixth election campaign in hopes of becoming prime minister for a fourth time?
In Berlusconi's case, tragedy and farce were both present at his astonishing entrance onto the political scene in 1994, and both have grown since then in equal measure. The farcical elements reached legendary heights by the accumulation of Berlusconi's off-color remarks and diplomatic disasters, facelifts and hair transplants, sexual escapades and seamy legal problems. At the same time, the full tragedy of Berlusconi's political legacy has also become increasingly apparent: A major European country has been effectively paralyzed for nearly twenty years by its richest citizen. Berlusconi has proven remarkably incapable of governing Italy, but extremely capable of preventing Italy from being governed by anybody else.Read Full Article »

"They have a lemonade stand at the bookstore, the gift shop, the mall. It's even being served on my favorite airline! YEAH! OH, YEAH! LEMONADE! IN YOUR FACE, ORANGE JUICE! BOO-YAH! THAT'S RIGHT, BOO! YAH! LEMONADE!"
A customer of P&F Lemonade who apparently really liked it. Upon learning that P&F Lemonade was building additional lemonade stand franchises, he ripped his shirt to reveal a chest tattoo of the P&F lemonade corporation and put on a lemon-shaped hat, while insulting orange juice and praising lemonade. In response to this, P&F Lemonade's Phineas Flynn commented to Ferb Fletcher that they shouldn't sell the man any more of their lemonade ("The Lemonade Stand").
Physical Apearance
He wears brown pants, black and gray shoes, and a lemon hat on his head. He also has a tattoo of the logo on his chest.
