Businesses were shut across Pakistan on Friday in a protest strike over moves to amend a blasphemy law that permits the death penalty and which rights campaigners say encourages Islamist extremism.
Conservative religious groups called for a national strike in a bid to block any intended amendment after thousands of Islamists rallied in major cities last week.
The strike went ahead despite a categorical announcement by deputy information minister Samsam Bokhari on Thursday that the government had no intention to amend the controversial law.
AFP reporters said markets were closed on Friday and roads deserted in the otherwise bustling cities of Karachi, Lahore, Peshawar, Islamabad and its neighbouring garrison town of Rawalpindi.
"We will start a civil disobedience movement if the government makes any amendment to the law," the chairman of influential Muslim grouping the Sunni Ittehad Council, Sahebzada Fazal Karim told AFP.
Former Information Minister Sherry Rehman from the ruling Pakistan People's Party (PPP) sparked fury when he lodged a private member's bill seeking to abolish the death penalty for blasphemy.
Pakistan provoked international condemnation after the death sentence was passed on a Christian woman found guilty of defaming the Prophet Mohammed.
Pope Benedict XVI has called for the release of mother-of-five Asia Bibi.
Samsam Bokhari disassociated the government from the bill, saying it was not policy.
"As far as the party is concerned, the law is not being amended, nor does the government intend to bring any change in it."
In Pakistan's financial hub of Karachi shopping centres, colleges and universities were closed and examinations scheduled for Friday were postponed.
President of the local transport association in Karachi, Irshad Bokhari, told AFP that public transport would remain off the road in response to the strike call.
Chairman of Karachi Traders Unity, Atiq Mir said: "All markets and business centres are closed because the protection of Prophet Mohammad's honour is supreme to us."
Shops and business centres were also shut in the northwestern city of Peshawar and capital Islamabad.
Only around three percent of Pakistan's population of 167 million are thought to be non-Muslim and minorities complain of discrimination.
Pakistan has yet to execute anyone for blasphemy. Most of those given the death penalty have their sentences overturned or commuted on appeal through the courts.

I'm not going to lie. I dragged myself out the door to this taping after a long week of work, mostly out of duty and respect for names I grew up hearing. I did not know it would be it one of the best shows of my life. I did not know that Emmylou would bring me to tears, that both she and Rodney Crowell are two of the finest songwriters in country music, and that they'd be backed up by the tightest honky tonk road band I've ever seen. "Thanks for letting us come out here and play y'all some country music. Some real country music," she announced, with her mane of white hair and trademark smile flashing under the hot stage lights. Turns out that "real" country music is a little bit like mainlining whiskey (which may account for the soggy state of my commemorative program.) In any case, it was the kind of show you didn't want to end — when you realize how special it is while it's actually happening. And this is why I go to concerts. A lot of concerts. In hopes that one out of fifty is like this. Maybe you only get a few. But you can live off those moments for a long time.
Emmylou is still impossibly pretty, so let's get that out of the way first. And she's done something I've never seen a woman do before — used the aging of her voice to her own artistic advantage. She's breathier now, wiser, more road-worn. And when she's telling you a story — say, about Pancho – she gives you no choice but to believe her. Over forty years of experience have turned both Emmylou and Rodney into the great living masters of ballad delivery. They tell many stories, but it's undeniably the best when they're telling their own. Two back-to-back songs, about halfway through the set, were the two I can't stop thinking about: The first was Emmylou's "Red Dirt Girl" chronicling the hard knock life of a girl from Harris' home state of Alabama. And the second was Crowell's semi-autobiographical story of abuse and salvation, "Rock O My Soul". They came as a one-two punch straight to the gut, and pretty much knocked the wind out of me. I've yet to recover.
But there were happier stories, too — mostly shared by Emmylou and Roger between songs. Like how lead guitarist Jedd Hughes spent his youth practicing guitar in a garage in the 50-person town of Quorn, Australia (I swear to you, people, that is the only way you get that good. I have never seen anyone shred a Telecaster like this guy does.) And the fact that drummer Jerry Roe is a third generation ACL performer. His grandfather was Jerry Reed and his father, Dave Roe, was the bassist in Johnny Cash's band. She dedicated "San Antonio Rose" to the much beloved Texan songwriter who penned the tune, Susanna Clark (Guy's wife). Anyways, it felt like being introduced to this larger family or network — the artists and songwriters who make up this sort of great quilt of Americana music. And just knowing that Townes Van Zandt, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and The Band were very much a part of that quilt, too, well… it just doesn't get much cooler than that. Friday night we heard songs by Townes, Roger Miller, Matraca Berg, Kris Kristofferson, and Gram Parsons in addition to songs by Harris and Crowell. It was, in the words of ACL producer Leslie Nichols, "a set list to end all set lists."
And did I mention that the band kicked ass? There's just something about a brushed drum behind smooth pedal steel… throw a smoking hot telecaster in the mix, and that's a guaranteed good time. Which brings me back full circle to what Emmylou calls "real" country music — and to me that means traditional country instruments backing songs crafted with integrity about American life. If you haven't had the pleasure of listening to real country music performed by seasoned musicians, then please do yourself a favor and tune in to this taping when Season 39 airs. I know I will.

We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.― Nelson Mandela
We will judge them by their actions, and their posts.
Allahu akbar, bring on the drones - HA HA HA HA HA
What really goes on in mosques?
Al-Awlaki originally fled from the US to live in Britain after it was disclosed that three of the September 11 hijackers had worshipped at two different mosques where he preached, one of them in Virginia.
He moved to Yemen in 2004, where he was arrested and then went underground. But despite his links to al-Qaeda, he has been invited by radical British Muslims to give video lectures, most recently at East London Mosque in January. Many of his videos are still readily available in Britain.
You know, perhaps you should create a separate thread titled "How intelligent am I to judge over a billion people by the actions of less than 1% of them?" and you can post all your highly informed observations and comments in there.
Taqiyya just isn't going to work here, and neither will the straw-man and ad hominem tactics.
Strange, but that all they seem to do, Taqiyya could be that is all they can do. I mean Mohammed riding a winged horse to heaven, you gotta have something better.
We know too well that our freedom is incomplete without the freedom of the Palestinians.― Nelson Mandela
From the Taqiyya link you supplied:
So, in order for this taqiyya to be applicable to me, I'd have to be muslim, and I'd have to be shia. That's two massive assumptions. What, exactly, do you base these assumptions on?Originally Posted by wikipedia
Now, let's be conservative and take a billion to mean "a thousand million". Then that would be 1 570 000 000, of which 1% is 15 700 000, i.e. 15 million and 7 hundred thousand. Please, dear Frankie, be so kind as to point out exactly who these more than 15 million and 7 hundred thousand "muslim extremists" (plane crashers, bombers of innocents, etc) are.Originally Posted by wikipedia
Remember, a couple of hundred won't do, a few thousand won't do, in fact, not even HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of muslim extremists. You need to show that there are more than 15.7 MILLION, otherwise your "HA HA HA HA HA" is really just you laughing at your own silliness.
You know, some of you might wonder why I keep defending various religions, when I don't appear to be overly theistic myself. Well, it's not really that I'm defending theism, I'm just exposing slander, deliberate misrepresentation, incorrect use of logic, and plain stupidity and the like for what it is (like my comments on Sina's "review" of the Naik-Campbell debate).

Management Coach with local government expertise
FEES from $40 USD to $250 USD for coaching packages. more...Request a free consultation Contact Me
My name is Elaine Thomas and with 31 years experience working in local government within Education and Social Care departments and 25 years of managing, leading, coaching and mentoring teams in Local Authorities and SLaM NHS Trust I can help you with my organic approach to self-motivation and the use of elevation techniques to help you overcome your self-limiting beliefs.
I listen, encourage, question, motivate, empower, empathise, help you to set goals, plan and ultimately enable you to realise your full potential.
I help managers, teams and individuals to achieve their goals and maximise their performance by locking into what makes them tick but equally what prevents them from reaching for what they really want.
What are those limiting beliefs that stop you from taking risks? What obstacles are there in your way that you are afraid to overcome? What habits do you continue to repeat while expecting a different outcome? What are your strengths? What do you need to work on?
If you're a new manager who feels like they've been thrown in at the deep end or an existing manager dealing with new challenges and can't see your way through then contact me with your dilemma and I will help you to resolve it. Equally, I work with individuals with personal goals that they struggle with achieving or even knowing where to start to bring about success.
I am here to help you answer these questions and many more in order to move you onto the next stage of achieving success.
Apart from listening to my client, using reflective techniques and helping them to identify the best course of action in order to attain their goals, I also use what I describe as my 3 Step Elevation technique for confidence building. I like to ask the questions that encourage people to be honest with themselves and unlock their true potential by identifying their 'blockers' and eliminating them through specific target setting and action plans.
I also utilise more common techniques such as:
GROW Coaching Model
Goal – Set the goal
Reality – Assess the current situation
Options – Devise the action plan
Will – Client agrees to what they will action
SMART goals bringing accountability and structure with clear targets and opportunities for review and measuring progress until your ultimate goal is achieved.
And many more……………
Nowadays, with the increased use of technology to interact, the traditional face to face discussion is not always the most convenient or preferred option for busy people. That's why I offer mainly online coaching with telephone and email interaction including instant messaging. The advantage of this is that for those of you who may find it difficult to attend appointments due to location, childcare arrangements or previous commitments, etc you will still be able to access my services but at a mutually convenient time and in your own comfortable and relaxed environment.
Working with local government at their team bases providing individual and group sessions with role play, interactive exercises and group coaching techniques. Various packages are available to meet organizational requirements.
Packages for ongoing training are available for individuals with long term goals that require intensive action planning and target setting.
With 31 years experience working in local government within Education and Social Care departments and 25 years of managing, leading, coaching and mentoring teams in Local Authorities and SLaM NHS Trust, I have developed invaluable skills in coaching and mentoring which have proven successful.
I have coached and mentored teams and individuals for over 15 years and during that time have successfully enabled staff to realise their true potential, increase confidence, surpass their expectations and achieve more than they felt possible of themselves.
Along with my varied experience and numerous qualifications covering a wide variety of subjects, I also have a Post Graduate Diploma in Business as well as and in Health & Social Care Management, Certificate in PRINCE2 (Project Management) and am a Certified Executive Coach.
Fees: from $40 USD to $250 USD
A standard telephone consultation will last 45 minutes for £60.

Group coaching sessions are available at £500 per half day session working with groups of 5 or less at employee team base.
Ongoing sessions are available at 3 monthly renewable contracts with price depending on medium of communication.
Read verified client reviews from real customers.
Elaine is an amazing life coach, from the first session with her she helped me to understand myself more and reasons as to why I can not or do not reach my personal and business goals. She is very enthusiastic and encouraging whilst coaching which helped me to feel relaxed and comfortable during the session. She is also honest with you and communicates in a way that is very thought-provoking which helps you to really think about your weaknesses and strengths in order to help yourself.

I was very pleasantly surprised by the quality of the cruise. I knew it would be nicer then an average Russian cruise, but our experience went above and beyond our expectations. The food was fantastic, the service fabulous, the tours interesting. Having lived in St. Petersburg for the last two years, we were just looking for an interesting way to see Kizhi, the Golden Ring and Moscow. Instead, we had one of the best weeks here in Russia.

Definition of univocal
- in search of a morally univocal answer
Theme music by Joshua Stamper ©2006 New Jerusalem Music/ASCAP
those who believe that the language of the Bible is univocal: it is never metaphorical but intended to be taken literally
Earliest known print evidence of univocal, in the sense of "having one meaning only," dates the word to the mid-1500s, somewhat earlier than its more familiar antonym equivocal (meaning "often misleadingly subject to two or more interpretations"). Both words trace back to the Latin noun vox, which means "voice." The prefix uni- ("one") was combined with vox to create the Late Latin word univocus, from which English speakers borrowed univocal. Univocal was indeed once used in the sense of "speaking in one voice" (or "unanimous") as its etymology would imply, but that use is now obsolete.
First Known Use: 1599
in the meaning defined at sense 1See Words from the same year

During the opening segment of Monday night's RAW, Triple H stripped Daniel Bryan of the WWE Championship after it was alleged that Bryan had conspired with referee Scott Armstrong. During last night Night of Champions pay-per-view event Armstrong gave a fast count for Bryan to win his match against then champion Randy Orton.
Triple then announce that he wouldn't be returning the title to Orton, but rather the title would be declared vacant.
Of course Bryan refused to hand over the title, which led to an RKO from Orton followed by Triple H taking the title back.


text: Slacking is all about context. If you're a college freshman lying on the floor of your dorm room listening to Radiohead, stoned out of your skull, you're exploring the untold mysteries of your own mind. If you're pushing 30, unemployed, and doing the same thing, you're just a shiftless loser. Distinctions like that form the crux of Tom Lutz's new study of the American slacker. Doing Nothing is a grand tour more than an incisive thesis. It begins with the author's 18-year-old son whose transformation from diligent student to couch potato causes Lutz to examine the Protestant work ethic's flip side. Why do we strive not to strive— and, more importantly, can it make us happy? Lutz finds no easy answers, though not for lack of trying. He surveys more than three centuries' worth of self-doubting slackers and proud workaholics, starting with Ben Franklin's exacting daily schedules. The Industrial Revolution creates dreams of a society wherein machines do all the dirty work. And, of course, Lutz can't help but tackle the self-conscious slackers of Generation X. Unlike their Victorian, flapper, and beatnik forebears, they're neither proud nor ashamed to shirk, just unclear what a viable alternative might be. It's sometimes hard to decide whether the author, an English professor at the University of Iowa, is trying to be scholarly or gently mocking his own scholarly impulses. ("We need, then, to tease the meaning of slackerism out of its many disguises and lacunae, if meaning is there to be had.") Yet in a way, that question only reinforces the point of the book: A healthy attitude about work, Lutz decides, must contain a mixture of irreverence and seriousness. Samuel Johnson, Oscar Wilde, and other self-proclaimed literary good-for- nothings accomplished quite a lot, while those who boast of noses held to the grindstone—look no farther than Steve Carell on The Office—are often the biggest slackers of all. It's hardly a novel point, but the book will comfort anyone who's ever looked at that business suit, or mop, and thought: "What am I doing here?" Lutz might have done well, in fact, to further explore a concept he introduces late in Nothing: that sometimes all it takes is a dream of something better—like acting in movies or becoming an influential artist—for drudgery to make sense.

HOUSTON (KTRK) --Two Houston firefighters were injured after a two-alarm fire broke out at an apartment complex near the Galleria.
The blaze began just before 4:45am at the Briarwood Apartment complex on Winrock and Ella Lee Lane, just west of the Galleria area.
Firefighters were able to snuff out the flames after two hours with the use of two HFD ladder trucks.
When they arrived on the scene, firefighters found heavy fire showing from the second and third floors of the middle of one apartment building, and pulled a second alarm.
VIDEO: Foti Kalleris reports from the 2-alarm fire
Two firefighters were injured while battling the fire. One firefighter was taken away on a stretcher. He appeared okay, sitting up as firefighters carried him away, but may have suffered from heat exhaustion or smoke inhalation.
The second firefighter suffered minor injuries. Both firefighters were taken to Memorial Hermann Hospital.
Twelve apartment units had heavy damage, including five that suffered water damage, according to HFD officials. Fortunately, no residents were injured.
RAW VIDEO: Firefighters at scene of 2-alarm apartment fire in W. Houston
There is still no word on what caused the fire.
One resident told abc13 reporter Foti Kallergis that a loud explosion was heard right before the fire began. She was able to escape her apartment safely.
Other witnesses say residents were awakened by people banging on the doors, screaming for them to get out.
Arson investigators are still at the scene trying to figure out what started the fire.

Army To Piggy Back On Bio War Protection Device With Flu Tests
Filed under: Business Line, Companies, Contract Awards, development program, Events, S&T, Services, SMDC, U.S. Army
The recent issue with the swine flu is a major concern for the U.S. Army and other military organizations. With so many people in close proximity and the need for fully capable people at all times flu could devastate a unit for a period of weeks. This is why the Army has announced that they are giving a contract to Idaho Technology to develop tests that can be implemented with the Joint Biological Agent Identification and Diagnostic System.
The JBAIDS was designed to test for biological warfare agents to support battlefield operations. The standard flu test may take a few days to identify the exact strain. By implementing these tests in to JBAIDS the pathogen may be identified quicker allowing actions to be taken to prevent the spread of the flu among a unit. This will maximize the availability of troops for action.
More on the Alaskan Missile Range Corruption Case
Filed under: Alaska, Congress, Contract Awards, crime, development program, Federal Budget Process, MDA, missile defense, S&T, SMDC, space, U.S. Air Force
We have written in the past about Mr. Cantrell, an manager at the Army's Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC), and his corruption scheme that will lead to his jailing on taking bribes from contractors in the past here and here. Now The Kodiak Daily Mirror has more details on how Mr. Cantrell used Alaskan Senator Stephens to build a range on Kodiak Island which allowed him to get the necessary work in order to generate the kickbacks. Read more
Missile Defense corruption
Filed under: Alabama, Alaska, Congress, crime, development program, MDA, missile defense, S&T, SMDC, U.S. Army
Last year the US Government arrested two employees of the US Army's Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) on charges that they were taking bribes to steer contracts to selected companies. Now the New York Times has done some further research on the issue and have found out that the main figure, the head of SMDC S&T center, had created a whole scheme to make Congress fund a large test program that would then be self-perpetuating. As part of this he broke Federal law by lobbying Congress directly.
The scheme he concocted was one that when I worked supporting the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO), now Missile Defense Agency (MDA), never made much sense to me. The MDA had an issue with testing the systems against long range targets. They targets required could not be tested in the United States as there was no range big enough to hold them. The Navy invested in improving their range on the West Coast of Kuaii in Hawaii that faced a broad open area. Targets would be air launched and fired into the range. The Army looked at building a launch facility on Midway to fire that targets at their main range in Kwajalien. The gentlemen at the core of the scandal, Mr. Cantrell, worked a proposal directly with Congress and various contractors to build a facility in Alaska on Kodiak Island and then use an old Navy helicopter carrier to fire the targets at Kodiak. This never really made sense due to its cost and the creation of all new facilities and modifying the ship at some cost.
Ultimately the idea went nowhere, although a launch facility has been built at Kodiak which supports Air Force operations right now. MDA made the sensible decision to begin testing US Army systems in Hawaii using the range there. Now that it turns out the Mr. Cantrell and various Senators using the earmark system was doing this for personal gain.
See an article in the Huntsville Times here.
Army buys more force protection FLIR systems
Filed under: Contract Awards, FLIR, production program, SMDC, U.S. Army
FLIR Inc, known more for their aircraft installed systems, won a continuation of the contract to provide ground based systems for base and force protection. The US Army's Space and Missile Defense Command awarded the $96 M contract. FLIR has won several contracts related to this system which provides surveillance of the areas around bases.
The Associated Press reports here.
Future Combat Systems (FCS) technology acceleration good to Arizona
Filed under: Arizona, Boeing, DARPA, Department of Defense, development program, Restructuring, SBIR, SMDC, U.S. Air Force, U.S. Army
This article describes the economic effect of the Army decision to begin pushing components of the multi-system Future Combat System (FCS) out-the-door faster. Due to this decision several hundred million dollars are flowing to Arizona companies earlier then originally planned by the Army. The two systems with the most effect are the non-line of sight missile system that uses a box launcher with integrated fire control and several unmanned systems. The Army benefits two ways by this type of decision; first, they get needed technology upgrades into the field earlier; and secondly they get testing under real world conditions.
SAIC wins NBC defense contract
Filed under: Contract Awards, logistics, SAIC, SMDC, U.S. Army
The US Army's Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) awarded SAIC a one year plus four option years contract to provide NBC defense for US military bases. See an article here. If the full contract is executed it could be worth up to $500 M. Since 9/11 the US has greatly increased the ability of their bases to respond to chemical and nuclear attacks.
Story on earmarks illustrates issue
Filed under: Congress, Contract Awards, crime, Digital Fusion, Federal Budget Process, SMDC
The Wall Street Journal and The Huntsville Times both have stories today on Congressional Earmarks, the Defense budget and corruption. See the stories here and here. The Journal highlights how a Huntsville company, Digital Fusion, received an earmarked contract from a Texas Democrat at around the same time they gave him a large campaign contribution. The Times is following up on a recent case where Federal workers at the Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) were taking bribes from contractors for giving contracts to them. In that case the contractors have yet to be named. The Federal investigators as part of their follow-up are looking at companies that received earmarked contracts through SMDC. The first case is not a crime unless you can tie the contribution directly to the contract award which is almost impossible without some kind of documentation. That is what befell Congressman Cunningham from California as they had written evidence linking the two events. SMDC spreads a lot of RDT&E money around each year, much of it earmarked by local Senators and Congressman. All received campaign contributions from contractors and deny any linkage. You be the judge.
Corruption case at Redstone Arsenal continues
Filed under: Contract Awards, crime, Federal Budget Process, SMDC
According to this story in The Huntsville Times, an official from the Army's Redstone Arsenal pleaded guilty in a corruption cast that broke a few months ago. His boss was the one who was more dirty. Both took bribes from contractors to steer business there way. The interesting part of the story is that more is starting to come out. Previously there had been no mention of the companies involved, but in the article they refer to a unnamed minority owned company. It also discusses that a contractor lobbied Congress for earmarks that were then steered to that contractor. Another example of how the Federal Budget is manipulated.
MDA awards space resarch contract to Miltec
Filed under: Contract Awards, development program, Ducommun, Miltec, SMDC, space
The Army's Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) gave Ducommun subsidiary Miltec a $69 M contract to conduct research and development on space vehicles. See Bizjournals.com, here, for more on the story. This will support the Operationally Responsive Space program.
Army acquisition manager found guilty of bribery and kickbacks
Filed under: Federal Budget Process, Industry Analysis, SMDC
In Huntsville, AL a Army official at the Space and Missile Defense Command (SMDC) was found guilty of taking bribes and kickbacks from contractors. He and his deputy would unfairly influence procurements to favor those companies. The Huntsville Times reports on this here. Mike Cantrell was convicted of receiving almost $1.6 M in bribes and also of filing a false tax return. With the defense budget so large and with so many companies trying to win contracts there are a few cases of bribary here and there. There was a much worse one recently in Korea where a contracting officer was taking money from local Korean vendors. See that story here.

Just planning setting up a snapvault containing luns and was wondering if it is possible to create a snapshot on the vault and use it to create flex clones?
It would be useful to test the backups and to quickly spin up a test environment.
Anyone know if this is possible?
I presume that you have created LUN under qtree ( for using snapvault)
Your snapvaulted volume is read only, so when you create a clone of this volume, the clone will be read only.
You have to run "snapmirror convert" and then a "snapmirror break" to make the clone writebale ( need a snapmirror license).
For example : snapvaulted volume is volume1 and qtree qtree1
- You create a snapshot for volume1 on destination filer : daily.0
- you create a clone of volume1 based on snapshot daily.0
vol clone create CL_volume1 -s none -b volume1 daily.0
- you disable snapmirror and snapvault
snapmirror off
options snapvault.enable off
- you switch to diag level
priv set diag
- snapmirror convert
snapmirror convert /vol/CL_volume1/qtree1
- you active snapmirror and snapvault
snapmirror on
options snapvault.enable on
- you break snapmirror
snapmirror quiesce /vol/CL_volume1/qtree1
snapmirror break destination:/vol/CL_volume1/qtree1
I have done this for snapvaulted qtree, I think that it will be also OK for LUN under qtree.
I hope that will help.
Thanks for the quick response.
I will give this a try, in the example you are doing all the changes to the cloned volume.
By doing this will I it have any effect on the funtionality of the snapvault destination? If I take a a clone and mount it as a test this may be around for several days and backups would still need to be happening.
Yes, all the changes have been made on the clone volume.
The clone is created using a snapshot, so if you make change on the clone, snapshot size will increase. You have to monitor your volume size if it needs to be extended.
When the tests will be finished, don't forget destroy the clone.

Catan, the internationally acclaimed board game which found favor with videogame fans on Xbox Live Arcade, is now coming to the iPhone. The official Catan website made the game official with a very simple, very direct post: "This summer the official version of the board game classic "The Settlers of Catan" will be released for Apple's iPhone. The game is being developed by Exozet Games in collaboration with Catan designer Klaus Teuber, and published by United Soft Media. More informations and screenshots will follow soon!"
I cannot wait for more informations. And I'm not being sarcastic either. Catan is an awesome game. Will the iPhone version be a port of the XBLA game or an entire new edition built specifically for Apple's rig?
As soon as screens and details are available, we'll have them right here for you on IGN.

Showing 1 - 5 in Rowlett, TXView All
Rowlett is truly a settler's town. Located in the eastern portion of Dallas County and with western parts in Rockwall County, some of Rowlett's rich history still lives within its boundaries. Rowlett was first settled by two immigration companies in the 1840's with a mix of German, French, and American pioneers. The city was first named Morris but was later changed to reflect Rowlett Creek which is a major tributary to the Trinity River. The creek is named after Daniel Rowlett, a prominent military figure and member of the Texas House of Representatives. The location of the Rowlett Creek was important in growing Rowlett with the establishment of vital railways and highways.
In 1971, Lake Ray Hubbard Reservoir was completed to make Rowlett an expansive lakefront community. Local residents and those from surrounding cities, like Sachse, Garland and Rockwall, can be seen enjoying a variety of activities on the lake. They also have a lush golf course with views of the lake and their own family-oriented water park. If you need a break from the water, Rowlett Parks and Recreation department has several options for membership in athletic programs and associations. The community also emphasizes involvement in service projects and has plenty of holiday oriented events. It also offers a variety of secondary educational choices with areas zoned in Rockwall, Garland, and Dallas school districts.
Rowlett is often referred to as a commuter suburb. It's the perfect neighborhood for those who like to work hard and relax after a long week. For the working man or woman, Rowlett is revitalizing itself as a new frontier with increased accessibility to the rest of Dallas. The city's resources are bringing in the DART blue line and the President George Bush Turnpike extension. These new developments will increase economic growth to meet the needs of Rowlett's renters. There are about 2, 183 rental properties within Rowlett and some include waterfront views. Renters who love the easy access to the lake and are looking for a faster commute will enjoy growing in Rowlett.

Portland Raiders call Oregon City home
The Portland Raiders Minor League football team, quarterbacked by Oregon City High School graduate Russ Schneider, is calling the Oregon City High School stadium its home for the 2014 season.
The season began last Saturday with a preseason game with the Renton Ravens. Schneider passed for six touchdowns, to lead the Raiders in a 54-6 runaway win.
Additional home games are scheduled at the stadium on April 26 with the Springfield Buzzards; on May 10, with the Southern Oregon Renegades; on June 6, with the Portland Monarchs; and on June 21, with the Vancouver Vipers. Games start at 6 p.m. General admission is $10. Tickets may be purchased at the gate.
Schneider, a 2001 graduate of Oregon City High School, is in his sixth season playing football on Greater Northwest Football Association teams, and he holds league records for passing yards and touchdown passes.
Schneider encourages the community to come out and support the Raiders and to support his high school alma mater.
Its a very fun atmosphere, Schneider said. We run the Oregon spread-option offense and we pass 70 percent of the time. Well score 50 points a game....
Its a family-friendly atmosphere at games. Kids 12 and under are free. We encourage kids to wear their youth jerseys and come down and meet the players after our games.
Schneider said he pushed hard to get the Raiders to locate in Oregon City.
Ive been starting to get more active in the community, he said. Ive worked with Oregon City alumni and weve done a lot for cystic fibrosis with our alumni game with West Linn. But as of yet weve done little to help Oregon City football. My hope is that this will stir up interest in football in the community and help the high school program.
Schneider says that the Raiders are working with the high school football program to help with fund raising this year.
Theyve got a tree sale and Dodge test drive all day at the high school on May 3 and 4, and the Raiders are helping out, he said. or for anyone doing a test drive, Dodge is donating money to the high school football program.

How do i draw arrows that go in a circular motion?
Here are a couple of forum responses on the topic:
The second one is quite lengthy; if you skip halfway down the page, you'll see a suggestion for how to use the Donut Auto Shape to speed up the process.
I created the following circular arrow by drawing a circle, converting it to an open path using Commands > Paths > Open, and then adding arrowheads using Commands > Creative > Add Arrowheads. The Add Arrowheads command features a number of alternative arrowhead shapes. After running the command, you can ungroup the results and manipulate the component paths any way you like. You could even store a preferred arrowhead shape as a symbol.
The command that I used to convert the circle to an open path was from Trevor McCauley:

Grifols acquires office complex in Sant Cugat
This acquisition also enables Grifols to consolidate its site at Parets del Vallés as its industrial and logistical centre, because it means that the group can allocate most of the space available on its premises there to ensuring the continuing, carefully planned growth of the productive areas.
The complex, covering an area of 17,000 square metres, is located in the Can Sant Joan business park, in the economic district of Sant Cugat del Vallés. This is an area which meets Grifols´ requirements, and is already home to a number of leading companies. By August 2008, 50% of the works had been finished, with completion scheduled for the second half of 2009.

Water quality data for 18 locations along Boulder Creek are collected monthly by the City of Boulder. Generally, water quality is excellent in samples from North and Middle Boulder Creeks near the headwaters. There is some degradation as the creek moves down Boulder Canyon. Water quality continues to decrease as the Creek passes through the City of Boulder and to the east of the City. The parameters of most concern to the health of Boulder Creek are ammonia, nitrate, and phosphorus. In addition, at some times at certain sites, there are elevated levels of fecal coliform. The major factors affecting the quality of Boulder Creek are geology, urban runoff, wastewater effluent, algal growth, and water diversions.

Geology and topography are significant factors in changing water quality in the creek as it moves from mountains to plains. As Boulder Creek drops in elevation, water temperature warms up, along with air temperature. In the mountains, Boulder Creek passes over granitic and metamorphic rocks that aren't very reactive; when it moves into the plains, the geology is dominated by sedimentary rocks, including sandstones and shales. Increases in pH, specific conductivity, alkalinity, and TDS reflect the more easily weathered, calcite-bearing sedimentary rocks. For more information on geology in the Boulder area, visit the BASIN geology page.
Human activity, such as urban and highway runoff, affects water quality in the creek as it passes through Boulder Canyon and the City of Boulder. The Boulder Creek Millennium Baseline (BCMB) Study found that fecal coliform concentrations were higher in Boulder Creek at 30th Street (BC-30) and 61st Street (BC-61) in Boulder in June 2000 than at any other site. Many factors could contribute to these elevated concentrations, including faulty sewer systems and animal waste left in or near the stream. Fecal coliform concentrations were 170 colonies/100 ml at these sites in June 2000; the primary recreation standard (swimming, kayaking, etc.) is 200 colonies/100 ml (for more on standards, see the BASIN Water Quality Standards discussion).
Effluent from the Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), located just upstream of 75th Street, also affects water quality. The WWTP removes a tremendous amount of the waste from our houses and businesses, and discharges the treated water to Boulder Creek (for more information on the WWTP, see the City of Boulder's Public Works webpage. The WWTP meets all state requirements for discharging to the creek. However, the plant cannot remove everything we contribute to the sanitary sewer. The June 2000 water quality data showed increases in specific conductivity, total dissolved solids (TDS), alkalinity, hardness, ammonia, phosphorus, nitrate, and nitrite at the 75th Street sampling site (BC-75). Dissolved oxygen levels drop at BC-75, because the WWTP effluent contributes organic waste and nutrients, which encourage the growth of bacteria. These bacteria consume the waste and remove oxygen from the water.
Downstream of the WWTP and the City of Boulder, the environment of Boulder Creek changes in several ways. There are fewer trees to shade the creek and prevent bank erosion, and the flow rate is lower, due to the many diversion from the Creek. These factors cause the creek water temperature to warm up. The nutrients (nitrate and phosphate) from the WWTP and from fertilizer runoff, along with higher temperatures and direct sunlight, cause significant plant growth to occur. The rapid photosynthesis that occurs during the day causes pH and dissolved oxygen levels to increase significantly. At night, when plants, bacteria, and animals are undergoing respiration, pH and dissolved oxygen levels drop. The high pH and temperature affect the toxicity of ammonia in the creek. At high temperatures and pH (e.g., above 9), ammonia begins to convert to unionized ammonia, which is much more toxic to aquatic organisms than the ammonium ion.
The degree to which water quality in the creek is affected is largely related to the flow rate. Downstream of the WWTP, this is particularly significant, because it affects the proportion of wastewater effluent to total flow in the creek. During times of high flow in the creek (e.g., from April to September, when flow in Boulder Creek is higher due to snowmelt runoff and thunderstorms) the greater amount of water dilutes chemical concentrations in the creek. During low-flow, wastewater effluent can comprise over half of the total flow, and chemical concentrations are often higher. The flow rate in Boulder Creek is also largely affected by the many diversions that take water from it and return to the creek. During June 2000, the flow at BC-ORO (in Boulder Canyon at the USGS gauging station) had the highest flow (97 cfs) of those measured; at this point, North and Middle Boulder Creek have joined forces. By the time the stream reached 30th Street in Boulder, a significant amount of flow was diverted by several ditches. By the time Boulder Creek reached the Saint Vrain River, the flow in the creek was at its lowest (16 cfs).

Make a left turn onto San Felipe Street. Make the first right turn onto S Post Oak Lane. Make a left turn onto Woodway Dr. Bordeaux Apartments will be on the right.
The Bordeaux offers comfortable living close to the Houston Arboretum & Nature Center, a heavily-wooded preserve that covers more than 150 acres. Next to this pristine landscape is Memorial Park, which has multiple fields for softball and baseball as well as other recreational facilities for adults and children. Additionally, this residential community is close to Interstate 610, one of the primary highways in the Houston metropolitan area. Those who prefer to use public transportation can catch buses right on Woodway Drive.As the name implies, the Bordeaux is inspired by European traditions. Therefore, it's not surprising that the property has a lush landscape with well-maintained gardens including some tropical plants and palm trees. Additionally, the resort-style swimming pool is shaded by a tall barrier that's covered in vines. Patio furniture, loungers and umbrellas are set up at the poolside terrace. Intimate courtyards in between buildings also add to the traditional charm of this elegant apartment complex. Outdoor grilling areas create an inviting atmosphere for social gatherings between neighbors.Entrance to this community is made via a gate that is controlled with a key fob.

Marine Hard Bottom Communities: Patterns, Dynamics, Diversity, and Change - Ecological Studies 206 (Hardback)Martin Wahl (editor)
- We can order this
Marine hard bottoms feature some of the most spectacular and diverse biological communities on this planet. These not only contain a rich treasure of genetic, taxonomic and functional information but also deliver irreplaceable ecosystem services. At the same time, they are highly vulnerable and increasingly threatened by anthropogenic pressures. This volume has collected contributions by 50 scientists from numerous biogeographic regions, dealing with characteristics of hard bottom communities. Distributional patterns in space and time are described, followed by analyses of the intrinsic and extrinsic dynamics producing these patterns. A strong emphasis is placed on the ongoing changes occurring in the structure and diversity of these communities in response to spiralling environmental impacts, and on state-of-the-art countermeasures aiming to preserve these ecological treasures. Finally, various values of diversity are assessed, hopefully as an incentive for enhanced conservation efforts.

Geth go with the Reapers, or one specific branch of them at least.
Salarians are obviously part of the Council, as are the Turians, Asari and Humans, so you have the Council as opposed to the Alliance, Batarians I believe were replacing pirates, alongside the mercenaries. Quarians are with the Council, and Krogan may make some appearance in the council, but they have no space faring ships as a punishment alongside the genophage for the Krogan Rebellions. Collectors are also with the Reapers, as they have all along been just Reaper pawns.

Grades have no direct impact on the overall score.
8th Street Latinas is part of the Reality Kings network which is a video/reality collection that's been around for years and years. These guys were among the first to go with reality style porn and they have stuck to that style. I know that 8th Street was one of this company's earliest sites and episodes date back to 2002. The theme here is hardcore latina shoots and they do play out reality pick-ups to start the action.
Content is organized by episode with the video portion being the main focus (although there are accompanying picture galleries). What you'll find here are latina models in boy/girl hardcore scenes along with threesomes as well. Like the company's other sites this is original content from a group that knows how to produce video/reality style porn. All the models fit well with the site's latina theme.
Several Hundred Total Episodes, Years of Archives.
For a network niche site of this kind 8th Street has a nice sized amount of content. The updates go back all the way to 2002 and they've been steadily growing the collection since that time. Updates continue to be made on a weekly basis so there is actually enough material where this site would do fine on its own without the rest of the network. Lots of times companies will let their older site atrophy and stop updating but that's not the case here.
Full-Video Files & Clip Segments, Flash Streaming.
The download and viewing options are well-rounded with full-movie WMV downloads plus big clip segments (3 per movie) and short 1-minute clips. The 1-minute clips are actually in MPEG format too and also streaming options. In-browser Flash streaming buffers very quickly and has filmstrip navigation. These are the options on the majority of shoots as they have improved the options over the years.
Access to Reality Kings Network, Tons of Content.
The included network is a well incorporated with navigation tools that let members get to the other sites right from 8th Street's navigation header. The other sites have all sorts of popular niches and all features similar hardcore video/realty scenes with varying niche focuses.
Other Good Stuff:
Clips Only, No Full-Episode Downloads on Oldest Episodes.
This is one of those sites that's been online long enough to have seen different incarnations of the download/viewing options. Back in the archives you will find episodes without full-movie downloads. For these WMV and MPEG clip segments are the only choices with the 3 larger clips and short 1-minute clip segments available. At the time of this review it seems that the number of episides without hte full movie files are about 50%.
Older Episodes Have Noticably Lower Video Quality.
The content dates back to 2001 so as you can imagine the specs are quite different on these oldest movies as compared to the newest shoots or ones from the middle of the collection. The specs you'll find back in the archives come in around 300k 350x240. More than most sites the age does show on the older material. Also, the streaming on the older shoots is low quality WMV in-browser instead of the Flash that's on the newer shoots.
Member's Area Layout is a Bit Busy/Cluttered.
With the content for this site and the additional network there is a lot of material for these guys to organize. Still things are somewhat cluttered in the member's area and the navigation header includes content sections along with some links to upsell premium items.
Minor Negatives:
Hundreds of exclusive latina hardcore video/reality episodes plus access to a quality network.
8th Street is a nice source of original hardcore latina video episodes however it's still best to view this site as one part of the larger company network. The design is so integrated that that's really the package being sold. Overall the positives outweigh the negatives with the one thing to be aware of is that there are still a good amount of movies with lower video quality and/or clip segments only.

I don't know if anybody is saying they hate IM2, at least I'm not, but the fact of the matter is it wasn't nearly as good as the first, and a huge portion of that was Marvel's intrusion and insistence of the Avengers subplots, which took away from the main story and added all sorts of unnecessary threads into the film. The Thor stuff at the end was sufficient, everything with Nick Fury & Black Widow was just tacked on and needless, just as their "help" with Tony's condition was. The whole middle of IM2 was just bogged down, boring & unneeded, and it's just further prove that Marvel isn't handling things as well as we all thought they would

Refinish cultured marble by using automotive finishing compound. Spread the compound over the marble surface, and allow it to dry to a haze. Using 1,000-grit sandpaper, just sand away the finishing compound, either by hand or using a multipurpose hand sander.Continue Reading
The goal is to remove the scratches without sanding deeply enough to remove the entire gel coat from the surface of the cultured marble. Keeping the sanding level prevents development of dips that might hold water.
It is recommended to remove any cultured marble sinks and other smaller pieces before beginning the process. Use water to keep the surface wet when sanding and rinse away any dust that forms during the polishing process. Be sure to dry thoroughly before proceeding.
The shine is restored by applying a second coat of buffing compound. Allow it to dry, and buff using an automotive buffer and pad. Once this process is complete, washing and drying removes any dust that forms. A dust mask protects the lungs from the dust due to the polishing process.
Upon completion of the process, the cultured marble is ready to reinstall. Owners should avoid using abrasive cleansers to prevent future scratches.Learn more about Building Materials

Ab planks work your abdominals, back and upper body. They especially strengthen your transverse abdominus, a muscle that acts like a corset: decreasing your waist size, improving your posture and providing stability for your body throughout the day. Ab planks can be customized to work your core from all angles, to improve your strength to help you reach your fitness goals.
The Basic Plank
Position yourself face-down on the floor, resting on your hands and knees. Brace your abs, and push your knees off the floor so your weight is distributed evenly between your toes and hands. Lower your hips so your body forms a straight line, like a plank. Hold this position for 60 seconds, and work up to holding the position two minutes. If you experience discomfort in your wrists, rest on your elbows.
Side Plank
Side planks target your obliques while also providing an upper body workout. Get into the basic plank position, and begin shifting your weight into your right hand. Turn your body, stacking your right leg on top of your left leg, and raise your left arm straight up in the air. Hold this position for 30 seconds, return to the basic plank position and repeat on the other side. To add difficulty to this move, try raising your top leg for a few seconds at a time until you can keep your leg lifted for the duration of the plank.
One-Legged Plank
One-legged planks work your core and challenge your balance. Get into basic plank position, resting on your elbows. Bring your right leg close to the mid-line of the body, and stack your left foot on top of your right foot so your weight is distributed between your elbows and right foot. Try to hold this position for 30 seconds before returning to the basic plank position and repeating the one-legged plank with the right foot stacked on top of your left foot.
Twisting Plank
Twisting planks will challenge your core and especially target your oblique muscles. Get into the basic plank position. Keeping your hips low, bring your right knee under your body toward your left shoulder, return to the starting position and then do the same with your left knee and right shoulder. Do 12 to 15 repetitions on both sides, and work up to 30 reps on each side.

Little v. State of Nevada, et al.
NPRI's Center for Justice and Constitutional Litigation has filed a lawsuit in the First Judicial District Court of the State of Nevada to put an end to the state's unconstitutional Catalyst Fund.
CJCL filed the lawsuit on behalf of Nevada resident and business owner Michael Little against the State of Nevada, Nevada Governor's Office of Economic Development (GOED) and GOED Executive Director Steven Hill after the defendants illegally created and implemented a fund that gives taxpayer dollars to private companies, despite a clear prohibition of such subsidies in the Nevada Constitution.
Article 8, Section 9 reads, "The State shall not donate or loan money, or its credit, subscribe to or be, interested in the Stock of any company, association, or corporation, except corporations formed for educational or charitable purposes."
The plaintiff, Michael Little, is an alternative-energy entrepreneur and a taxpayer whose alternative-energy competitor, SolarCity, has received a commitment from GOED to provide it with a $1.2 million taxpayer-funded subsidy.
In addition to disregarding the constitution, the state is forcing a business to subsidize its competitor, which is fundamentally unjust and similar programs in other states have lead to charges of corruption and favoritism.
After receiving taxpayer handouts, numerous companies, including Solyndra, Abound Solar, Fiskar, and ThromboVision have gone belly up. Along with being unconstitutional and unjust, GOED subsidies are bad economics.
Taxpayers have recognized this. In 1992, 1996, and 2000, Nevada voters overwhelmingly rejected proposed constitutional amendments that would have allowed government loans to or "investments" in private businesses.
Despite that, in 2011, the state devised the Catalyst Fund and created pass-through entities to dole out the subsidies. Nevada's constitutional protections will be rendered meaningless if state politicians can avoid them by creating a local government agency for the express purpose of taking constitutionally prohibited actions.
The lawsuit calls for the court to:
- Declare that all defendants, in operating the Catalyst Fund, are violating the Nevada Constitution
- Enjoin all defendants from continuing the Catalyst Fund program or any such program that subsidizes private entities under the guise of economic development or any such label
