text: Q: What is this "Ancient Wisdom" you keep referring to? Ancient Wisdom is the time-tested knowledge that was taught throughout the ages. The tenets of this knowledge are planted by Advanced Souls called Mahatmas into contemporary teachings throughout the ages. Some disciples like Blavatzky were flawed even by the admissions of the Masters (read the Mahatma Letters). The foundation of the Ancient Wisdom is in no particular country and time period but the legacy and power is demonstrated best in Ancient Egypt. Just look at the Pyramids. The enormous task and knowledge to design and build such ancient wonders speaks for itself. The same teachings are in theosophy, Agni yoga, Gnostics and some of the secret societies. - Namely the Masonic Temple and perhaps others. There are thousands of people trek to Tibet and revere the Dalai Lama. My teacher had met him in person and attested to the amazing presence the man had (still has). The purpose of Man is to return to God (Infinity) using the inner, higher self that has godlike qualities. We all are to return to the source and be One. This is achieved by lifetimes of reincarnation and striving to overcome ones ego and attachments to physical existence. They call this; "falling off the wheel of Karma". The pitfalls of this Cosmic Cycle are our own acts and deeds that generate either bad or good Karma. This is, in a nutshell what people would learn when seeking Vedic knowledge or study the esoteric Tibetan Buddhism. If one reads Jesusâ sayings carefully and with an open mind, one can ascertain that the majority of his teachings in fact correspond with The Teaching. Meditation and Straight Knowledge is the only required guidance and affirmation to those who seek this path. It is not for everybody and nobodyâs religion is bad or wrong only perhaps their zeal and personal interpretation can cause them to stray and try to dominate and control others. Do not take my word, contemplate it and see if it makes sense for you, if it does not that is OK too. It will one day in, one lifetime, when ready. More FAQs http://andras-nagy.com/faq.html

My dear friend, Peter Urs Bender, died two years ago.
He was my mentor.
He encouraged me to develop my business. He introduced me to people, ideas and shortcuts. He allowed me to piggyback on his name and reputation.
He was my co-author.
He pushed me to write my first book with him. He often chided me – but never criticized me.
He was my friend.
He offered me his wisdom, encouragement and confidence. I can never thank him enough for what he did for me. He did so much.
He was an inspiration.
I am very sad to loose him. I am very happy to have known him. I am lucky that he took an interest in me.
He died too earlier. He was 60. Cancer slew him. I expected that he would be around for a lot longer. He completed 19 marathons. How can one so healthy die so early? I think I did not thank him enough.

Telvas has a perilous brush with strange entities. Meanwhile, things get rocky (and snaky) in the Ghoul Garns.
Telvas eventually returns to Felston, shaken by an encounter with a gang of…well, what were they, exactly? They appeared as deer…sort of. Of course, the shadowy forms, the red eyes, the malleable, smoky way they moved, not to mention the weird, slithery thing one of they did with its antlers when they were about to kill someone. Only the Foeblade (now with even more Redemption!) could harm them. Well, that and Swiftsteel's swift steel (nyark, nyark). Seems the ertswhile assassin-palace-guard-well-dressed noble was disguised as a talkative rogue named Yesem, all along (or was he?).
In the end, though, a hireling, Mij, died. Swiftsteel was mortally wounded, and all around the Elven Kalinyas were piles of strange ooze and ash. Which is what Swiftsteel turned into as he perished, uttering the warning, "They're everywhere…" By the time Telvas and Nats, the overwhelmed mercenary, got back to Felston, traveling overnight at the double time, he had a tale to tell. But to whom? Because, well,_ they're everywhere._
Where they apparently aren't, at the moment, anyway, is Grantham and the Ghoul Garns. The party's investigations lead them into the swamp toward the last known location of one Tresh, a treasure hunter overdue. An overnighter with family leaves Telvas with a glimmer of hope, when he establishes (perhaps, perhaps) a contact with the Hodei, his people who live deep within the swamp. With the future of Gratham up in the air, there is also an opportunity here. Or so he believes. But then, no one is sure what Drunkseeker is up to. They only know it's no good.
For now, though, the swamp.
Excellent pathfinding and scouting lead the group to a set of ruins, where one Tresh has been hiding out, paranoid that "she" is following him. She had already killed his group when they got off course and ended up in her territory, a particularly watery, oozy, foggy section of Garn, where Tresh spotted a strange, square, leaning tower. He's so paranoid about it, he hasn't bothered to check into the ruins where he is holed up.
And what a weird place it is. A great fountain, with a glowing orb atop it, spews water down its sides into glittering, unspoiled pools. The fountain's base is augmented with cantered, stone blocks, mounted on struts of the same material. Of course, the thing is magical, but what else might up with dat?
The group soon finds out. After several of them are stunned by flashing fishes living in the four, square pools below the flowing plinth, Vicic, unharmed, spots a niche indicating an opening beneath the water. He wades right in and attempts to lift it. Naturally, this summons guardians. The four cubes around the fountain begin to tremble, then explode, releasing 4 huge, stone birds.
Of course, normal weapons do not work, as Shadow finds out when he his arrow bounces right off one of them. Not to worry, though. Because Tiskus has MAAAAGIC. Old world magic. He weaves a powerful spell…and it backfires.
Reality is altered, as vast, old world energies rippled through the area. The land beneath the fountain splits, as the water from it rises into the air, then drops. Worse, the great weapon summoned by TIskus hurtles right into Telvas' back, leaving a permanent wound. Meanwhile the four stone creatures become ONE BIG STONE BIRD, thanks to the reality bending. And now, the encounter just got tougher.
So, the answer to this is to cast another spell, right? Of course, it is. This time something safer. Summon monster.
Whoops. A monster is summoned all right. But it's "her," the Naga Tresh was so terrified of. And it is NOT cooperating.
The rest of the fight plays out as follows:
The stone bird does some of their work for them, as it swoops down on the whole group, knocking Nats out, knocking others down down, and fortuitously lopping off the head of the Naga (this after it had taken control of Shadow, forcing him to fire arrows at Vicic—thankfully, Shadow's aim was off, as, some, he must've been subconsciously resisting the spell). With the Naga down, and the bird too big to follow, most of the party follows Vicic's advice and dives down beneath the ground, following a staircase he found behind the stone panel (which itself flew right up and out of the area, thanks to alter reality/reverse gravity, etc.).
As the party takes cover (save Tresh, who has run off, and a faithful retainer, who is down) Telvas and Tiskus stand fast, using magic and magical blade to whittle the bird down. Eventualy, they are joined by Pritt Lill. Between the three of them, the creature eventually drops into a pile of rubble. It's a close one, but, once again, the Felston Fellows emerge triumphant.
Afterward, amidst the rock and stone, and secret panels, below, Shadow finds a nice cache of coin and gemstones, including a transparent, glass pyramid with mud sorcerer symbols etched on each facet. Tiskus's examinations reveal that it is stone of seeing. But what us there to be seen here, one wonders?
As the party rests and heals, they still have some things on their agenda:
A nearby amphitheatre, overgrown and crumbling.
An acropolis up a path to a hill, overgrown with dense vnes.
Somewhere, a day and half away, a leaning tower.
And of course, crocs and ghouls abound, they say, in this place.
But at least there are no dark, deer things….yet…
Telvas took note of two utterances delivered by Swiftsteel and one of the Dark Deer. Evidently they were both curses: Swiftsteel called the Deer a "Cursed Flesh Eater," while the Deer-thing called Steel a "Swill Drinker." Conveniently, Isolt of the Salamander order happens to study this language, the tongue of the Elders, who disappeared long ago (or so she says).
Outside the game: Tiskus came up with snake eyes on two consecutive rolls, prompting the player to say, "That's so unlikely," which I personally feel might someday be this group's epitaph, either way.
Pritt LIll came in handy. Not so much with the Bitzafi and the other hireling, whose name currently escapes me.

Stevie Wonder
Uptight (Everything's Alright)
Stevie Wonder
Uptight (Everything's Alright)
When he first arrived at Motown, everyone could tell 11-year-old Stevland [Steveland ?] Morris was a musical prodigy. Harnessing that raw talent into something marketable, however, took some time. Born May 13, 1950 in Saginaw, Michigan but brought up in Detroit, the sightless lad knew the brother of The Miracles' Ronnie White, who saw him play his bongos and harmonica and singing in the White family's living room. "It just blew my mind," said the late White. "So I took him over to the studio and introduced him to Berry (Gordy), and to Brian and Eddie Holland and Lamont Dozier. They signed him and put him to work with Clarence Paul, who was one of the persons who was very influential in Stevie's development." Judged by either Gordy or his sister Esther (accounts vary) to be a wonder, the handle stuck like glue.
Little Stevie Wonder made his first platter for Tamla in 1962. Under the tutelage of assistant A&R man Paul (the brother of The '5' Royales' guitarist Lowman Pauling), the ebullient young multi-instrumentalist tried everything from R&B to jazz but kept missing the hit parade until Gordy recorded his show at Chicago's Regal Theater. Fingertips had originally been an instrumental, but in front of a roaring big band at the Regal, he turned it into a singalong. "He would say, 'Everybody say yeah!' And it caught on," said its late co-writer, saxist Hank Cosby. "Next thing I know, Stevie was blowin' his harmonica and tearing the place down." Edited into a two-sided 45, Fingertips (Part 2) topped the pop and R&B charts in 1963, rough spots and all.
Stevie's next few studio-cut Tamla singles—Workout Stevie, Workout, Castles In The Sand, Hey Harmonica Man—were mid-level hits, and he mainstream exposure in the films 'Muscle Beach Party' and 'Bikini Beach.' Along the way, he discarded the 'Little' part of his moniker. But in 1966, his 15-year-old voice noticeably maturing, Wonder topped the R&B charts and sailed to #3 pop with the pounding Uptight (Everything's Alright), which he co-wrote with Cosby and lyricist Sylvia Moy.
Moy had just joined Hitsville when A&R boss Mickey Stevenson asked for volunteers to write for Wonder in hopes of shaking him out of his slump, which threatened his future there. "I said, 'I don't think it's over for him,' " says Moy. "The guys didn't know what to do with the changing voice and everything." Sylvia asked Stevie to play his fresh material but heard no potential hits. "Just as I was going to start going in my bag, he said, 'Wait a minute! I have one more thing,'" she says. "And he did 'Baby, everything's all right, uptight.' And I said, 'Stevie, that's it! Let's work with that!'"
Cosby put together an aggressive brass-leavened arrangement ignited by Benny Benjamin's jackhammer drum rolls. "I did the music, and I used about four or five horns," said Cosby, who produced Uptight with Stevenson. "The track was cut when Stevie heard it." The way Moy and Wonder laid it out, the word 'uptight' assumed a positive meaning. Stevie thus entered the next phase of his astounding career.

An annual tradition of mine is going with friends and family to the Festival of Trees, held at the Orlando Museum of Art (OMA). It's a great start to the holiday season, and there are so many gorgeous trees, wreaths, and gingerbread houses.
The Orlando Museum of Art generally picks a theme to go with other exhibits that they are hosting. This year's theme was Hip Holiday! which was gave it a early 1960's feel.
Even though there were hundreds of decorated trees to choose from, I focused more on the amazing tiny ornaments hung from the trees. I hope that you enjoy these collages and check out the Festival of Trees next year at the Orlando Museum of Art!

Palate and its categories
Maynard Amerine, and Edward Roessler, in their book "Wines, Their sensory Evaluation" published by W H Freeman & Company 1983, summarizes complexity in a way that is totally satisfactory.
"Like fine art, fine wines are made by impeccable workmanship plus a clear concept of the aesthetic standards by which they will be judged…… The components must complement one another synergistically and excite our aesthetic appreciation. A great wine should have so many facets of quality that as we sample it we are continually finding new ones. It is this complexity that enables us to savor such a wine without losing our interest in it."
Winemakers of great wine go out of their way to create a complex wine. They may use grapes from different picking dates, different regions or add small components of complimentary grapes to add further complexity. Different fermentation techniques, different barrel types, size and age, different yeast, different racking schedules, minimal or no filtrations etc.
Complexity may be assessed by the following categories:
- neutral
- cask wine
- commercial wine / vin de pays
- good commercial wine / appellation controllee
- complex / village wines
- very complex / single estate / multi regional
- multi layered / classified growths
- memorable / first growths
Flavour is the summation of the total experience of aroma and taste, texture, balance and persistence. Persistence of flavour or concentration does not come about easily and is primarily tied to yield. The great growths of the world all yield at less than 3 tonnes per acre and more likely between 1 ½ and 2 tonnes. The berry sizes are small, the ratio of skin to juice is high and the resultant wines are highly concentrated. In some cases the levels of concentration may appear to be almost a purée of the juice of the freshly crushed grapes
- tasteless
- watery
- dilute
- light
- concentrated
- very concentrated
- concentrate
- reduced
- 'jerapega'
The quality of the underlying fruit which the wine has been made from is important and should be retained as part of the palate and flavour experience. The fruit character can also be overwhelmed by the winemaker and winemaking procedure so that a wine is so overworked that the fruit is totally masked
- green / unripe
- totally masked
- masked
- subdued
- restrained
- very young
- abundant
- voluptuous
- over-ripe
- porty
- oxidized
- faded
Degree of Ripeness
The degree of sugar (beaume) achieved in the grapes prior to harvesting will impact upon the total sweetness of the finished wine. In the assessment of wines, the analysis should take into account the various groups of sweetness, and for Riesling the German classification system should be considered. spatlese
- auslese
- beerenauslese
- trokenbeerenauslese
- eiswine
- Spatlese
Sweet, Sauvignon Blanc / Semillon wines should be considered as botrytis wines and assessed on that basis.
(b) Length
The length of a wine is based on time and relates to the persistence with which the wine lingers in the mouth. To an extent the length and aftertaste work as a pair and a wine may have length, but little aftertaste and vise- versa.
The length of flavour is also related to the degree of concentration of fruit, so it is unlikely that a wine will have long palate length if it is delicate or watery.

The Aluminium Chair is one of the great furniture designs of the twentieth century. Charles and Ray Eames conceived and developed this chair in 1958 for the private residence of an art collector in Columbus, Indiana (USA). For its construction, the designer couple departed from the principle of the seat shell, instead stretching a panel of fabric or leather between two aluminium side members to create a taut but elastic seat. The chair adapts to the body of the sitter and is exceedingly comfortable, even without elaborate upholstery.
*In the event of a manufacturing or material defect, Vitra replaces or repairs all of the chair models in the Aluminium Group and Soft Pad Group free of charge for a period of 30 years from the date of purchase. This is valid for chairs sold after 1 September 2003.This guarantee excludes damage resulting from normal wear or improper use.

Best working conditions for English speaking nurses in Montreal?
Hi there,
I am originally a nurse from the united states, a year ago I moved to Montreal where I work in one of the English operating hospitals. I have worked here for over a year a have had a bad experience. Don't get me wrong, the people I work with are amazing, it is true team work. But the working conditions are very bad compared to my other jobs I held in the States. Some of the issues: there is only one orderly for an entire unit, we usualy have to do everything ourselves; I am literally doing the job of a CNA and a nurse with a higher patient load. also, I only have half a break of what I'm entitled to get and it's so busy that we often have to work 30-45 minutes past our shift (we don't get payed for this time). Further we have to come in at least a half hour early (for free) just so that we can perform safe nursing care or otherwise I would leave even later. On top of this, we are literally running around the entire time, charting maybe consists of 30 minutes of the time. I have never worked as hard as this before. Many times when I come home my legs are swollen and I have ruptured blood vessels from being on my feet so intensely and so long. I was warned that Canadian nursing was not like the Sates. But maybe I'm just on a wrong unit or the wrong hospital?
I'm just curious about other people's experiences or maybe recommendations for other working situations here in Montreal for someone like me with very basic French.

Specialty: acute care, rehab, palliative ; From: CA ; Joined: Oct '04; Posts: 7,264; Likes: 10,974The only thing I can comment on is the lack of CNAs (PSWs in Ontario).Most hospitals don't employ any sort of aide in Ontario, perhaps it is the same in Quebec. I don't really know how it is across Canada, maybe some others will chime in.
It does sounds like you are on a busy floor.It could just be the unit.Are you in a unionized work place?Aug 16, '12Joined: Mar '10; Posts: 7Yes, my hospital is unionized but I really don't want to push this in this direction. I know of some people recently who tried to illicit changes for the better only to fail. There are a lot of politics on this unit that I'm seeing are very ugly. There is an extremely high turn over rate here and 2 nurses just flat out quit their positions on this unit in the last 2 weeks due to some issues relating to how things overate unfavorably for nurses on this floor. I think at this point, the only thing to do is to search for another unit at this point.
Thank you for your inputAug 16, '12Occupation: hospital floor nurse. Specialty: acute care, rehab, palliative ; From: CA ; Joined: Oct '04; Posts: 7,264; Likes: 10,974But if there was an issue why didn't they go to the union? That's what they are there for.Aug 18, '12Specialty: geriatrics ; From: US ; Joined: Jul '10; Posts: 5,489; Likes: 11,537I can't speak for the OP, but I have heard of politics being so ugly on certain units resulting in workers too intimidated to contact their union. In fact, a couple of my friends were told, "Don't make waves...", when they voiced concerns on their unit. I find this ridiculous, and you can bet that contacting the union is exactly what would happen. Again and again, and again...until the situation is rectified. But that's me.Aug 18, '12Joined: Jun '01; Posts: 10,088; Likes: 8,457I know of one such unit, joanna73. The unit management views any sort of reporting on working conditions to be personal attacks... character assassination if you will. Working conditions ultimately have a negative effect on so many other aspects such as patient and staff safety, job satisfaction, staff morale, sick time, staff turnover... you name it. Throw in incredibly high overtime and you've got a situation ripe for disaster. All the picnics and potlucks in the world aren't going to change the morale on units like that. But don't report your working conditions because they'll get mad at you and it will only get worse! A couple of nurses on that unit have reported legitimate concerns to the union and years later are still being blackballed by management. Others look at that example and are determined NOT to follow that path. Intimidation is a strong weapon.Aug 19, '12Joined: Mar '10; Posts: 7Yes, that is exactly why We will get punished and we have seen it done.Aug 19, '12Specialty: geriatrics ; From: US ; Joined: Jul '10; Posts: 5,489; Likes: 11,537Start looking for a new job. Is it possible for you to relocate? Working conditions and pay are better out west (Manitoba, Sask, AB) than Que and ON. Just make sure you have an offer before moving. You can apply online, and many facilities will conduct phone interviews. You may need to move rural, but if you're open to that, there are jobs.Aug 19, '12Joined: Mar '10; Posts: 7I unfortunately cannot relocate since I moved here to be with my boyfriend and my family is only 6 hrs away driving distance in the states. I know the pay here is low compared to other territories. I think my next plan is to look into working for an agency and possibly do some part time work back at home in the states. I'm going to have to do some research.Aug 19, '12Specialty: geriatrics ; From: US ; Joined: Jul '10; Posts: 5,489; Likes: 11,537Then that's the plan. Look in the phone book and online for nursing agencies in your area. You could also look at Ottawa if Que isn't to your liking, but that means you need to apply for an ON license.Aug 19, '12Specialty: geriatrics ; From: US ; Joined: Jul '10; Posts: 5,489; Likes: 11,537You're welcomeNov 11, '12Occupation: RN Specialty: 3 year(s) of experience in Medical unit and ICU ; From: CA ; Joined: Feb '06; Posts: 29; Likes: 19I would say that working a hospital in Montreal is challenging and will get worse both because there is an enormous budget deficit and because there is governmental corruption at all levels. The only place you might find relieve is if you transfer to a specialty unit such as ER or ICU where the nurse to patient ratio is much better but you end up doing CNA tasks yourself. I did som part time through agencies in nursing homes but the working conditions are no better, one nurse is responsible for a lot of residents. There is plenty of greener grass in other pastures so you really need to assess whether it is really worth it to sacrifice yourself for someone that is just a boyfriend.

Venturing into a new business concerns always arise, in this article I would like to answer some of the most frequently asked questions about becoming a freight broker. Most people that initially research this business are usually looking to start a home business, work remote or gain part time income. Before you make any investment, whether it be time or money, there are always major questions out there that need to be answered before one dives into a new venture.
First of all what is a Freight Broker?
A Freight Broker is a liaison between companies that needs a product shipped; in the industry this is called a "shipper", and a trucking company. Their job is to assess the "shippers" needs and find the right equipment to get the job done. It is also their job to see the shipment from start to finish, from planning the pick up time and date to delivery.
How do I become a freight broker?
To become a freight broker you first need to obtain your Freight Broker Authority from the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This will run you $300, and is also called your OP-1 form. Then you'll need to get your surety bond of $10,000 through a bond company. Don't worry you can pay for this bond in monthly installments until its paid off, which should keep your initial startup costs low. You may also need some sort of business license or permit to operate a home based business in your city or county, the best place to start is to call your city department and ask about small business licenses and or permits.
How much can I make as a freight broker?
Freight broker's salaries can really depend on how much you as an entrepreneur put into your newly formed brokerage. As you first start out, you won't have many customers so your salary will be low. The road to financial freedom is never a cakewalk, if you stick with it and start to gain more and more customers you'll start to generate more revenue. Once you get to the point of earning salary that you are comfortable with, most brokers will then hire freight agents to work under their MC number, also commonly known as your license. With agents operating under your control you can then take a percentage of off the freight they move as well. Freight Brokers that are making over $100,000 are usually employing multiple agents within their company.
What will I need in my home office to start out with?
Starting a home based freight brokerage doesn't require a whole lot. In fact, you may already have everything you need in your house already. Briefly here is list of the essentials you will need:
- Computer
- Phone
- Fax (These can now be sent online just like emails, makes it easy and cheap.)
- Internet
- Printer
- Load board software
- Dispatch software.
This business doesn't require a whole lot get you going, realistically you could be up and running for under $1500 depending on what resources you may already have. The freight industry is a great business for people who are looking to start a home based business or someone looking for part time income. Now with some of the biggest questions asked and answered about freight brokers, how will you begin your journey of starting a home based business?

Traditional Apex Sheds are the nation's favourite, seen in gardens throughout the country. The reason why this style is so ubiquitous is easy to understand, as it has an attractive appearance, robust construction and generously sized floor area that can accommodate a lawn mower, tools and garden equipment.
There's a high ridge and the roof is covered by quality roofing felt, this makes the interior a pleasant dry environment with sunlight shining through horticultural glazing, and don't forget it can be used for many activities as well as storage. Secure with a ledged and braced door, zinc hinges and lock, the apex shed is a very practical, value for money purchase.

By Spc. Fabian Ortega, U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs OfficeOctober 23, 2008
HEIDELBERG, Germany -- For overseas voters, participation in this year's election began when they requested absentee ballots from their hometown election officials earlier this year. Some voters have signed, sealed and had their ballots delivered with time to spare.
For others who have not received their ballots or mailed them before their state's recommended mailing deadlines, there is still plenty of time to get ballots delivered in time for the upcoming election, said Lt. Col. Harry Turasz, U.S. Army Europe voting assistance officer.
"If overseas voters have not received their ballots yet, they should expect them any day soon. If not, they should go see their voting assistance officers to fill out a form for a provisional ballot," Turasz said. "If they should receive their ballots from their county election office in the next several days, all the (Army Post Offices in Europe) are providing free express mail delivery starting Oct. 29 through Nov. 4, in order to get the ballots back to county election commissions by state deadlines."
As Election Day draws near and the rush to the post office grows, voters also have the opportunity to track their votes at no cost with help from their APO, said Bill Hilsher, USAREUR postal program manager.
"This is the first year the Military Postal Service Agency is offering 'intelligent bar code' mail tracking," said Hilsher. "All (customers) need to do, if they want the intelligent mail bar code, is present their ballot at an APO. A postal clerk will affix an intelligent mail bar code to their ballot and give them a card with information explaining how to go online and track their vote."
For more information on absentee ballot voting see your unit or community voting assistance officer or visit the Federal Voting Assistance Program Web site at www.fvap.gov.

The Real Ghostbusters had solved their last case in 1991. Six years later, Sony's animation division, Adelaide, brought the franchise back, but with a twist.
Extreme Ghostbusters lasted just 1 season, 40 episodes, fewer than the norm for syndication, unlike Real Ghostbusters, which lasted 5 seasons on ABC, with some episodes also airing in syndication. Of the original team, only Egon Spengler (Maurice LaMarche, mimicking Harold Ramis) returned, along with receptionist Janine Melnitz (Pat Musick) and Slimer, the team's mascot (Billy West). Egon is now a college professor who only has 4 students in his class, and they become the new Ghostbusters.
The underlying subplot was the relationship between Egon & Janine, which was odd considering that in "Ghostbusters 2", Janine was flirting with attorney Louis Tully. Anyway, the series ending with the rest of the original team returning to help Egon and the kids. Apparently, the folks at Sony had forgotten that Frank Welker (Ray) was also the original voice of Slimer, and could've been brought back.
Veteran voice actor Jim Cummings wasn't a regular cast member, but he did record a punk rock cover of the classic theme song........
This series wasn't lacking in star power, with Alfonso Ribiero (Fresh Prince of Bel-Air) as Roland, who was a complete opposite of Carlton Banks. So, why did it fail? Viewers just wouldn't accept having just 1 of the original team in this new show, and Ray, Peter (Dave Coulier), and Winston (Buster Jones) came too late to prevent cancellation.
Rating: B-.

This had some potential but the cast and the animation were difficult to like as the original team.
Not to mention having one of the team wheelchair bound. To me this was a big limit on what he could do in the field. IRL, he would have been a liability.

What he lacked physically, he made up for in smarts, it seems.
The Adelaide house style came with Everett Peck when he came over from Klasky-Csupo after working on Duckman, his own creation.

Stock will go off if it's not frozen, George.
Why don't you buy a little separate freezer?
Change of menu. Leek and cauli soup with a smidge of smoked paprika and maybe some white beans added. Not sure. I'll see how it shapes up.
Gosh! A Soup Thread! I didn't know we had one. Quote from: oliver sudden on March 09, 2009, 06:42:07 am(Funny, I googled 'bear soup' and got all sorts of pictures of hirsute gentlemen in baths.)Yeah. I recommend putting 'Safe Search' on when you google 'Cock-a-Leekie' as well.Now then, I have an embarrassingly basic question about stock. Suppose you have made yourself a nice big bowl of stock along the lines of trj's receipt above, how long can you keep it for? And if you are a simple hermit who doesn't possess a freezer, what is the best way to keep it? Just in a bowl in the fridge? in a sealed jar in ditto? or does it have to bubble away constantly in the 'stock pot' on top of the Aga (which in my case I also have not got)?
(Funny, I googled 'bear soup' and got all sorts of pictures of hirsute gentlemen in baths.)
I would pop it in the fridge and use within a few days. At castle rj the pattern is usually roast chicken on Friday eve, make stock over the weekend, possibly soup/risotto too; at the latest make soup/risotto by Tuesday.
I wonder myself about the wisdom of thrice-cooked chicken (roast, stock, soup, possibly reheated after that too), but I'm still standing.
This involves caramelizing the onions in the oven for almost 3 hours, then continuing on the stovetop until they beg for mercy and threaten to immolate themselves.

I have been a general slacker where my blogs are concerned. I have noticed though that so many of my friends are struck with the same afflication. I can only call it Contagious Apathy or perhaps Life getting in the way. work, family etc have to come first and sometimes the only energy I have left is enough to read a book.
I am over it I hope. The Daring Kitchen have two challenges a month and I have been participating but getting them on my blog has been harder.
So what I have I done?
I did do the pasta challenge Steph from Stephfood ,
was our Daring Cooks' July hostess. Steph challenged us to make homemade noodles without the help of a motorized pasta machine. She provided us with recipes for Spätzle and Fresh Egg Pasta as well as a few delicious sauces to pair our noodles with!I made fettucine and crostoli.
I promise to get my act together and get back into cooking. Hopefully life won't keep getting in my way.

Firefox for Android has been slightly overlooked by the Android community, with Opera Mini and Chrome making bigger waves than Mozilla's attempt to port the open-source browser to smartphones. This is about to change though, as Firefox for Android has just received a big update, addressing a lot of people's concerns over the mobile outing.
Firstly the redesign dispenses with the opening animation, as the side bars no longer exist. This allows for a quick start up to a much smarter looking dialer, with also a new window button reminiscent of Chrome's new tab button. Rendering web pages is noticeably faster, and pinch to zoom works with zero lag thanks to the way it only re-renders after you've finished resizing. There's also enhanced Flash support, somewhat ironically joining upgrades to the HTML5 capabilities.
You can grab Firefox from Google Play. With the rumours that the excellent Chrome for Android may become the default in 4.1 Jelly Bean though, this may be just too little, too late.

back hurts
One of the main causes of back pain are various diseases of the spine.This results in loss of intervertebral discs, joints, ligaments, vertebrae and back muscles.It is understood that back pain - it is a symptom that can be held or renewed in the event of adverse situations.Termination of back pain does not mean recovery, as the pain may recur.But when this happens depends on the person, the adequacy of its conduct and strict compliance with medical recommendations.That is why, for the treatment and prevention of back pain should be treated in the same way as to heart disease - to treat not only pain, but also a disease caused it.

Top Five Running Backs in Dallas Cowboys History
Jonathan Bales
A couple of weeks ago, I published my list of the five best quarterbacks in the history of the Dallas Cowboys. Many of you were surprised to see Tony Romo at No. 3 on that list, but he's earned it.
Like Cowboys quarterbacks, the list of the top running backs in team history is dominated by two players: Emmitt Smith and Tony Dorsett. I list them here because it's really no spoiler. When you think Cowboys running backs, you think Smith and TD. Actually, I think those two players have done so much for the position that people forget how mediocre some of the other backs in team history have been. . .
5. Don Perkins
Perkins played eight seasons in Dallas and totaled 6,217 rushing yards and 42 touchdowns. He averaged only 4.1 yards-per-carry during his time in Big D, but he certainly played in a different era (1961-1967). Some forget that Perkins also transitioned from tailback to fullback in the second half of his career.
4. Marion Barber
Barber at No.4!? Well, take a look at some of the other running backs the Cowboys have put on the field over the years and tell me who should surpass Barber. He has 4,109 rushing yards to date and has already totaled 50 touchdowns. His career may be on the down, but he was certainly exciting to watch for a few years.
3. Calvin Hill
Hill played just six seasons in Dallas but ran for 5,009 yards and 39 touchdowns. His 4.3 yards-per-attempt is second-best of anyone on this list (behind only Tony Dorsett).
2. Tony Dorsett
The Heisman Trophy winner averaged just shy of 1,100 yards rushing and eight total touchdowns per season over his 11-year Cowboys career. He averaged an impressive 4.4 yards-per-rush over that time, and he reached 1,000 yards in every season except the strike-shortened 1982 campaign. He's ranked No. 53 on The Sporting News' list of the top 100 players of all-time.
Then there's this. . .
1. Emmitt Smith
The numbers are insane. 18,355 career rushing yards. 164 career rushing touchdowns. 3,224 career receiving yards.
Here are highlights from Smith's career and what I had to say about Emmitt in a segment of out "22 in 22" Tribute Series to Smith.
Emmitt Smith is one of the greatest running backs in NFL history, yet I can envision that, 50 years down the line, people will not consider him as such. He rarely cracks people's lists of the top three running backs of all-time (or even the top five, for that matter). I don't even know of a person who considers the NFL's all-time leading rusher to be the league's best ever running back.
The problem (for others, not for Emmitt) is that Smith wasn't flashy. He wasn't big. He wasn't tremendously fast. He wasn't even very charismatic off of the field.
Instead, Emmitt possessed the "boring" qualities of running backs (but ones that are just as vital as those above, if not more so): great vision, incredible balance, and remarkable short area quickness. Of course, there's also the off-field characteristics, such as determination, but I want to focus on why Emmitt's on-field play was truly under-appreciated.
Fast forward to the nine second mark in the above video. See the move Emmitt made? You may have actually missed it. That quick juke isn't the flashy, in-your-face Barry Sanders-esque sort of move, but it was probably even more effective. That's a move that can't be taught. It was instinctual.
Now forward to 35 seconds. That play, more than any other I can remember, perfectly exemplifies Smith's incredible sense of balance. To this day, I have not seen a running back that could have stayed on his feet after absorbing that hit. Except Emmitt.
Now move to 2:58 into the video. I don't have much to say about that juke, other than it is one of the best I have ever witnessed.
Finally, forward to 3:27 for a series of astounding plays. Emmitt had one of the most devastatingly effective stiff arms I've seen. It wasn't a reckless punch, but rather a controlled, precise jab straight to his target.
Two stiff arms are followed by a play, at the 3:42 mark, where Emmitt again displayed his out-of-this-world balance. If it doesn't appear that difficult, that's because he was that good. The best make it look easy. Emmitt made it appear as child's play.

One man might be responsible for at least seven armed robberies of North County convenience stores and restaurants in the past few weeks,police say.
Police are also investigating whether five armed robberies in early February and early March are connected to the so-called "shotgun bandits" terrorizing Baltimore-area businesses in recent months.
Police spokesman V. Richard Molloy said Anne Arundel is not alonein the recent outbreak of holdups.
"It seems to be the in thing to do now," he said. "Our robbery squad guys are working real close with officers from other jurisdictions. Most of the time, holdups aren't segregated to one particular area."

This week, the World Bank selected the American nominee for its next president, Dr. Jim Yong Kim, the president of
. This is one of the first times around, though, that there was really a contest for the spot: in years past, the American nominee was a shoe-in. While I'm not really a fan of perpetuating American hegemony and domination in international discourses, I am excited about his appointment for a couple reasons. Dartmouth College
The World Bank, historically, has done some pretty nasty things in the name of development. Structural Adjustment Programs (SAP) have thrown the economies of many a developing country into chaos in the name of poverty alleviation. However, these measures usually do very little to benefit the poor.
So what might Dr. Kim bring to the table?
He has worked for WHO and co-founded Partners in Health (one of my favorite medical NGOs); he was a professor of social medicine and medical anthropology for Harvard; and (my favorite), he has his PhD in anthropology. While former World Bank leaders have been more economic in background, Kim's background in health and social justice may help steer the World Bank into making that its priority. His experience in anthropology and health care gives him a more holistic, long-term view of problems. His work shows a commitment to social justice and health, not the more profit-driven, economic, neoliberal agendas that have dominated World Bank projects.
As far as sanitation goes, I'd like to see more funding going towards the development of sanitation infrastructures in cities. Hopefully, Kim can steer the WB into building up health systems in order to improve economies. Sanitation is one of those areas. According to Rose George in The Big Necessity, for every dollar spent on sanitation an average of $7 is saved in health care costs and lost productivity. In
, the estimated cost of productivity lost per year due to fecal-borne diseases is approximately 600 million US dollars. The World Bank's giant economic and infrastructure-funding machine seems the perfect means to help countries address the sanitation problems. Hopefully it pans out. India

From 27 to 29 September 2013, Rise and Shine Expo, an informative expo to raise happy and healthy children was held in Singapore. There were more than 100 seminars, workshops and trial classes held and one of the seminars by dermatologist Dr Lynn Chiam was on 'All about Children's Skin', a topic I'm very passionate about.
Dr Lynn Chiam of Children & Adult Skin Hair Laser Clinic is a consultant dermatologist who subspecializes in paediatric skin conditions at Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Medical Centre, Singapore. She was formerly the head of paediatric dermatology at National Skin Centre, Singapore before leaving for private practice. She has vast experience in childhood atopic dermatitis and childhood birthmarks. She has previously shared her expertise in this blog on Teen Eczema and Facial Eczema.
Dr Lynn's Seminar at Rise and Shine Expo
The seminar was held at the stage area in Hall 401, Suntec City Convention Centre at 4.30pm, Saturday 28 September. The parents who turned up were very keen to understand more about children's skin, as most of their children had either eczema or other skin conditions.
Skin Functions
Dr Lynn shared on the various functions of skin, that is more than a covering but also
Acts as a barrier to prevent the penetration of irritants, toxins and harmful organisms
Prevents moisture loss
Shields the body from harmful UV light
Forms part of our immune system
Regulates temperature and part of our body's sensory mechanism (touch)
Function of skin for a baby
The baby's skin is different from that of adult, being (i) thinner, (ii) less hair, (iii) less oil and (iv) less pigmentation. It is also less equipped to handle temperature changes, sunlight and prevention of moisture loss, and is more vulnerable to toxin, blistering and erosions. A new born baby's skin is covered by vernix caseosa, a creamy white substance that helps the newborn adjust from being in a womb to outside when delivered. It is lubricating and has anti-bacterial function.
Skin Changes for a Baby
The baby's skin will undergo changes, gradually getting thicker with less permeability and with more mature sweat and sebaceous glands. There is then less heat and moisture loss.
Care of Baby's Skin
The newborn baby's skin does not require much washing, bathing once daily or once in two days is sufficient. Hot water should not be used and avoid showering more than 10 minutes, always taking care to pat dry instead of aggressively rubbing dry. As baby's skin is more susceptible to sunburn, sun protection with at least SPF 30 and also wearing protective clothing, hats and not going out from 10am to 4pm in direct sunlight is important. Topical creams or lotions can be used in infants but parents must be careful to examine ingredients to ensure no toxicity or irritants.
The most common skin irritation by baby is diaper rash, which is a form of irritant contact dermatitis, triggered by faeces (watery stools) and urine. The diaper results in a significant amount of time for which the urine is in contact with the skin, taking into account all the time a newborn spent lying or sitting down. The skin ought to be gently cleansed and lubricants applied.
Next week, I will be posting on the next segment of Dr Lynn's talk on common skin conditions and grateful to Dr Lynn Chiam for reviewing the above on her talk at Rise and Shine Expo.

Thousands get help from Public Works teams
The Ministry of Public Works reported that road patrols assisted slightly over 5,000 persons over the Constitution Day long weekend from Friday, 3 November through Monday, 6 November 2017. The Ministry said that 44% of vehicles that were assisted were for mechanical problems, 32% for tire blowouts, and others for various situations that required towing. There were five fatalities on the highways, with four of them being motorcyclists.
This number is in contrast to the usual figures of long weekends that generally reach double digits. According to General Estanislao Gonell Regalado, the commanding officer of the Military and Police Commission (Comipol), preventive measures contributed to the reduction of accidents.
According to the general, working with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (AMET) they were able to slow down drivers and keep the highways uncongested. Douglas Borrell, who heads highway maintenance at the Ministry, said that his people continued working throughout the weekend to clear refuse and obstructions from the roadways. His crews worked on straightening out the Jersey road barriers, cleaning their reflective signage and removing improvised garbage dumps.
DGM returned 10,000 foreigners last month
The Dominican Republic authorities denied entrance to 5,000 foreigners last month and deported another 6,000 persons from eight countries according to press releases from the Migration Agency (DCM). According to the press release, repatriated foreigners were from Germany, China, Colombia, Cuba, Haiti, Italy, South Africa and Venezuela.
The report mentioned there was an increase in immigration movements through the international airports during the month of October 2017, when 438,126 persons entered the country and 451,933 left by the same way. As usual, the Punta Cana International Airport served the most passengers, followed by Las Americas (Santo Domingo), Cibao international (Santiago), Puerto Plata, La Romana and EL Catey (Samana) airports.
With regards to the border with Haiti, the DGM reported that there were 21,946 entries and 16,295 departures, mostly through the Jimani border gate.
Regarding maritime movement, there were 65,126 entries and 62,357 departures, mostly from the tourist ports of La Romana and Amber Cove at Maimón in Puerto Plata, which are major cruise ship ports of call.
One-way government communication
El Dia newspaper editorial on 8 November 2017 comments that the Minister and officers of the Ministry of Industry & Commerce have not been available for interviews with the press after publishing their decision to postpone allowing propane gas to be sold at fuel stations together with diesel and gasoline. The newspaper says this situation is what the Society of Dominican Dailies is referring to in that the high officers in government are not available for questioning by the press. The Medina administration has a major set up to distribute through different media what it wants the general public to know.
El Dia observes: "That Ministry is only interested in saying what it wants to say, not what others want to know."
Indotel shuts down four radio stations in Cibao
The Dominican Institute of Telecommunications (Indotel) ordered the closure of four radio stations operating illegally in several provinces of the northwest. The operation, headed by the Technical Directorate of Indotel, closed Killa 96.9 FM in Mao, Unik 94.5 FM in Moncion, Banda 87.9 FM in Castañuelas and Brava 94.9 FM in Villa Vasquez.
In a press release, Indotel says that during the operation transmitters, consoles, computers, amplifiers, microphones, compressors and audio processors were confiscated from the clandestine radio stations.
Indotel insisted that it will not permit the operation of these illegal radio stations that affect the transmission of those that comply with the regulations, that have the permits and that pay their taxes.
Finjus says this is not the time to talk about re-election
The Institutionalism and Justice Foundation (Finjus) spoke out on 7 November 2017 regarding discussions about the amending of the 2015 Constitution to allow for President Danilo Medina to seek a third period in office and regarding instituting permanent re-election. The 2015 Constitution allows a one-time re-election of a president.
Servio Tulio Castaños of Finjus told reporters that the Dominican Constitution is clear regarding the issue of the possibility or not of presidential reelection based on the current regulations, so that it is not necessary for Dominican society to undergo at this time a discussion regarding this issue. Castaños said: "Even though different sectors have suggested that the issue be discussed in broad terms, we feel that such a discussion might generate unnecessary confusion regarding an aspect that is sufficiently established in the text of the Constitution."
With regard to the constitutional text, he said that the Constitution, in article 124, establishes that "The President of the Republic can opt for a second consecutive constitutional term and may never again stand for the same office or that of the vice presidency of the Republic."
Castaños went on to say that the constitutional text has been very specific regarding the impossibility of a President of the Republic opting for a third term, referring to the man currently in office, and not a past president.
Castaños said that the discussion about re-election is untimely. He said it does not contribute to the strengthening of a law-abiding democracy. He said the 2015 Constitution is clear in where it states that the President is elected for a maximum of two four-year terms.
Meanwhile, judges of the Constitutional Court called for political parties to respect the Constitution to avoid that it be amended every time presidential elections come along. Judges Jottin Cury and Wilson Gómez Ramírez proposed a pact between political parties so that there be clear rules of the game and these not be constantly changed.
Likewise, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Ruben Maldonado, openly rejected the changing of the 2015 Constitution again to accommodate a second re-election of President Danilo Medina. Maldonado said that in the Dominican Republic there are not the conditions for an amendment to the constitution to enable Medina to be the PLD presidential candidate in 2020.
In the Dominican Republic the Constitution has been modified on several occasions to accommodate the re-election aspirations of Dominican Presidents. In recent years, this has occurred with President Hipólito Mejia when he sought to run again in the 2004 election and with President Danilo Medina when he sought to run again in the 2016 election. While the Constitution would have to be changed again for Medina to run, a previous change allows for former President Leonel Fernandez to again be the PLD candidate in 2020.
The high cost of the Punta Catalina power plant
A report in El Nacional reveals that the government has contracted or is about to contract teams of US lawyers for its representation in international arbitrage in the case of the Italian contractor Technimont of the Punta Catalina coal-fired power plant. Technimont is demanding an additional payment of US$720 million for over costs in the construction of the power plant, in association with Brazilian Odebrecht and Acero Estrella, a local firm.
As reported, the company could stop construction after the Medina government has not agreed to the additional costs, sources told El Nacional, as Administrative Minister of the Presidency Jose Ramon Peralta and the vice president of the Public Electricity Corporation (CDEEE) Ruben Jimenez Bichara have stated.
As reported, the government's alternative is to pay high sums to lawyers to help resolve the impasse. A source told El Nacional that last week Jimenez Bichara and Hacienda Minister Donald Guerrero Ortiz traveled to Florida, USA for talks with other companies that could finish the construction and installation of the needed turbines, replacing Technimont.
Sources say that if Technimont wins in arbitration, the power plants would be costing the government around US$3 billion, making these the most expensive of their kind to be built in the world. The original contract signed between Odebrecht-Technimont-Estrella and the CDEEE established a turnkey price of US$2,040,757,399 and delivery of the power plant in 2018. So far, the government has invested US$1.74 billion in the power plants. Of the total, around US$1.5 billion come from loans and bonds placed on international markets.
El Nacional reports the conflict could delay the completion of the power plants so they may not up and running by 2020 when the second Medina administration comes to an end.
Fare increases in Puerto Plata
Puerto Plata transport commuters announced fare increases on the routes within Puerto Plata city and onto Montellano and Sosua. The transporters argue that the government has consistently increased the price of fuel and they need to pass this on to the consumers.
As of Monday, 30 October 2017, the Asociación de Choferes del Transporte Público de Puerto Plata, Montellano, Sosúa y Viceversa, is now charging RD$60 for the Puerto Plata-Sosua trip by day and RD$65 by night. Also the trip from Puerto Plata to Playa Dorada is now 30 pesos and RD$35 at night. The same fare is charged from Puerto Plata to Gran Parada and Los Ciruelos.
Fares from Puerto Plata to Montellano are now RD$35 per day and RD$40 at night. Fares to Cangrejos, María la O and El Samán are now RD$40 by day and RD$45 by night. To the fare booth at the Puerto Plata International Airport the fee is RD$50 by day and RD$55 by night.
Claudia Franchesca de los Santos, the director of the new Transport and Transit Institute (INTRANT) has said the fare raises have not been authorized.
Business calls for fixing roads in Haina
Manufacturers located in Haina, San Cristobal, demanded street repairs in the Haina Industrial Park. The spokesmen for the industries say that the roads are in such level of disrepair that they pose risks for drivers, cause losses for the companies and a negative image for new investors.
In a press release published in Diario Libre, the Association of Industries and Companies of Haina and the South Region, say they have requested the repair to the proper authorities without receiving any satisfactory answer over the past 20 years. The business entity says that there are 13 streets that hardly measure 800 meters and could be repaired in a short time. The press release notes that some 25,000 vehicles move throughout Haina roads every day.
Santiago merchants call for completion of city market
In the heart of the Cibao, in Santiago de los Caballeros, the Merchants Association of Peking, in the southern part of the city, demanded on 7 November 2017 that the municipal authorities finish the public market. Felix Antonio Colón, the president of the Association, said that the plaza is 75% completed.
Local neighborhood groups complained that the area occupied by the market has been taken over by nefarious groups that are active in drugs and prostitution.
They called for Mayor Abel Martínez to put the market into operation. Over 120 merchants, large and small have been assigned spaces in the new plaza and the delay in finishing the construction is also affecting more than 800 families.
Avian flu cost one area RD $20 million
The director of the Dominican Agribusiness Board (JAD), Osmar Benitez reported on 7 November 2017 that his team has determined that eight producers in the community of Guanabano, in Espaillat province, where an outbreak of avian flu was detected, suffered economic losses approaching RD$20 million.
Benitez noted quite firmly that the outbreak had been controlled by authorities. He added that no new outbreaks of the H5N2 virus have been detected.
The province of Espaillat is the most important province in the Dominican Republic for the production of poultry and eggs. Statistics indicate that in the dozens of farms in the area supply more than 60% of the eggs consumed in the country while others are exported to Haiti. According to data from the companies related to the sector, the Dominican Republic consumes about 5 million eggs every day.
Most of the people who live in the area were not alarmed by the outbreak of the avian flu virus, however, some poultry producers reported a loss in their sales because of the public's fear and lack of information.
The Ministry of Public Health has published a press release explaining that neither eggs nor poultry affected by this variety of the avian flu will affect humans if the items properly cooked.
Flamboyant helicopter landing in Cibao ballpark
The Dominican Civil Aviation Institute (IDAC) suspended the piloting license issued to Ramiro Junior Jaquez Rubio and banned from flying the helicopter N212HK, property of Karim Abu Naba'a. The ruling came after the later carried out an unauthorized landing on the playing field of the Cibao Ball Park on Sunday, 5 November 2017, shortly before the start of the Aguilas vs. Tigres ball game. Abu Naba'a is the son of a major asphalt supplier to the Dominican government.
As reported, the Airbus EC-130 helicopter belonging to a shell company in Wilmington, Delaware, landed in the outfield of the Estadio Cibao, causing quite a stir when Abu Naba'a and three women and a small dog disembarked in what is now regarded as a display of the nouveau riche.
The Dominican Institute of Civil Aviation (IDAC) called the incident a serious violation and a reckless act that put at risk hundreds of persons. The IDAC reportedly instructed its Division for Resolution of Security Cases to give priority to the investigation of the event to apply the corresponding penalties.
The president of the Aguilas Cibaeñas, Winston Llenas (Chilote), issued a press release that says that the board of directors of the professional baseball team in no way had authorized the landing of the helicopter on the playing field minutes before the game on Sunday against the Tigres Del Licey.
Llenas said that he had received news that an aircraft would be landing inside the Estadio Cibao and he called the general manager of the Tigres Del Licey, Junior Noboa to advise them of the situation. The press release explains that they were advised that a helicopter would land at 4:30pm bringing a group of artists who had come for the Presidente Festival in Santo Domingo and wanted to see a baseball game in Santiago. But reportedly, Karim Abu Naba got off the helicopter only accompanied by four women. The Aguilas board says it never authorized the landing.
Listín Diario reports that the so-called "Prince Karim" had done a similar act in January 2017 at the Quisqueya Ball Park. The difference then was that the helicopter landed on a nearby field belonging to a children's baseball league, while this Sunday, the helicopter landed at the playing field of the Cibao Ball Park just 10 minutes before the game.
Dominican Winter League Professional Baseball
The Dominican Winter League is enjoying slightly above normal attendance, even when the two teams that are leading in the season, the Estrellas Orientales and the Gigantes Del Cibao are underdogs.
The tournament standings as of the evening games of 7 November 2017 are: Estrellas Orientales with 13-6, Gigantes del Cibao with 11-8, Aguilas Cibaeñas with 10-9, Toros del Este with 9-10, Leones del Escogido with 8-11, and Tigres del Licey with 6-13.

Various medications have been developed to treat neurodegenerative disorders, and drugs without significant side effects are gaining widespread interest such disorders. Brain Research Institute of Synergon Consulting in Romania, led by Dragoş Cîrneci, found that the protein p300, which is a transcription co-activator required for consolidation of memories during specific learning tasks, is at the same time involved in DNA replication and repair, playing a central role in the long-patch pathway of base excision repair. Based on the evidence, they propose that learning tasks such as novel object recognition could be tested as possible methods of base excision repair facilitation, hence inducing DNA repair in the hippocampal neurons. If this method proves to be effective, it could be the start for designing similar tasks for humans, as a behavioral therapeutic complement to the classical drug-based therapy in treating neurodegenerative disorders. These findings were published in the Neural Regeneration Research (Vol. 8, No. 32, 2013).

Since the project was canceled/Moved to RedAlert3 engine we dicided to release some of our work for public use. These models are intended to be used in C&C3 and after some work they can be used in RedAlert 3 or even in C&C Generals.
Please credit us like this if you're using these :

This pack contains models and textures of :
Supply Truck
Copyright 2013, Past C&C3 GenEvo mod team.
Feel free to use.
This is great.
Yeah, if you be so kind you can post them here :
or here :
If you're still able to edit your threads, so everyone can use them and see that they are now free to use.
I would be happy to post them if you release the models with W3X files in addition from just MAX files.
I need W3X files, where can I get them?
Oh it's very good news for me... and my maps =)
After downloading this, only one unit (the Dozer) was modified to W3X and the rest of them needs to be opened in 3D Studio Max with W3X plugins in order to export them as W3X, and I have little knowledge how these would work.
It would have been great if you release the selected model units with W3X files since not everyone here has 3D Studio Max or Gmax to open those MAX files.
Most of the compiled models is not finished, like tanks don't have moving treads, some stuff needs to be re-boned, so it'll be better to compile them for yourself. Simply .w3x's which i have is outdated. And i don't really have time to compile them again since i am working on RA3:GenEvo. Give youself some challange.
so there will be no more new downloads or the full version
There will be, mate, it's just an old model pack from unreleased C&C3 version of GenEvo.
RA3 version will be finished for sure, you have my word on it.
I was hoping for a RA3 Generals Evolution model pack rather than this unfinished C&C3 version of it.
А куда закидывать папки мода C & C: Red Alert 3 MOD?
I think thats what i expected for a remastered generals mod, the tanks look really nice, the infantry looks even better, when i played the "demo unit" thing you posted, the textures of the units felt.... I didn't dislike them because i loved generals, but i would rather play generals, they look exactly the same, 0 diferences but some fx effects. Take this comment however you want, i expected something innovating and got a little bit dissapointed
That's what I was talking about 4-5 months ago. Thanks dude.
there will be another mod right? your making it now? cause you know school starts on june
А куда закидывать эти папки,подскажите пожалуйста?
how to install ??
This project canceled?....:(
No, Gunship is making the mod on Red alert 3 instead of C&C 3.

It's the day before Christmas
And all through the house
The puppies are squeaking
An old rubber mouse.
The wreath which had merrily
Hung on the door
Is scattered in pieces
All over the floor.
The stockings that hung
In a neat little row
Now boast a hole in
Each one of the toes.
The tree was subjected
To bright-eyed whims,
And now, although splendid,
It's missing some limbs.
I catch them and hold them.
"Be good", I insist.
They lick me, then run off
To see what they've missed.
And now as I watch them
The thought comes to me,
That their's is the spirit
That Christmas should be.
Should children and puppies
Yet show us the way,
And teach us the joy
That should come with this day?
Could they bring the message
That's written above,
And tell us that, most of all
Christmas is love.

What happens when Marchesa, beloved bridal designer and red carpet regular, teams up with stationery gurus Wedding Paper Divas? A magical collection of romantic wedding invitations that would appeal to stylish bohemian, glamorous, and vintage brides.
The recently launched collaboration features eight ornate designs — including "night blooms" (a dramatic black-and-white floral), "breathtaking blossoms" (a watercolor lavender-and-green floral print), and "little lace" (above, a black-and-white lace print). All of these invites are inspired by gowns from Marchesa's Spring 2014 runway and recent bridal collections.
We were lucky enough to sit down with the fabulous women behind the Marchesa empire, Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig, to talk about their latest partnership. The ladies explained it's a natural extension and reflection of their covetable wedding gowns. "We really wanted them to reflect the designs and the dresses," said Marchesa co-founder Keren Craig. "We really were looking at the embroideries, laces, and things that we have on our dresses — and in the bridal collection especially — and we wanted to translate that onto the stationery itself."
"It was a very organic process," added Marchesa co-founder Georgina Chapman. "It was going back to our dresses and seeing what we thought would work on paper. It was an interesting process to see how you can translate embroidery ... We just wanted it to be romantic, beautiful, and to have that special side that a wedding deserves."
Here, a look at a few of the designs in the exciting new collection and the dresses that inspired each suite!

Stay tuned for Marchesa's Spring 2015 bridal runway show and our interview with Georgina and Keren about how to have your red carpet moment on your wedding day!
