Hellboy Animated: Blood and Iron (US - DVD R1)
Gabe goes on another animated adventure with the stone handed man
When Hellboy, Liz Sherman and Abe Sapien are assigned to investigate the ghost-infested mansion of a publicity-hound billionaire, they uncover a plot to resurrect a beautiful yet monstrous vampire from Professor Broom's past. The BPRD agents will fight hard to destroy the evil Hungarian Blood Countess, harpies, hellhounds, a giant werewolf and even a ferocious goddess, to stop Erzsebet's plan of rebirth, and free the souls of the damned.
When I reviewed the first Hellboy Animated I said it was good but suffered from what appeared to be growing pains. Pretty much every decent to great animated series ever made is weakest at its outset. I was willing to cut slack, and I was happy to know that the cast and crew was hard at work on another chapter in what is meant to be an ongoing series of STV films.
I was right. Blood and Iron isn't an exponential improvement on Sword of Storms, but it is another step in the right direction. Like Mike Mignola's comic, the creative team behind the series seems to be changing up the style of each story (though I suppose only two movies isn't quite enough to make a case on). Last time it was adventures in Japanese folklore, this time it's a trip to Europe, a slightly more familiar place for Westerners.
This time the story is a lot tighter, but in all fairness the first film had quite a bit of filler due to misunderstandings on run time available. Keeping the leads together seemingly simplifies things, but Tad Stones and Kevin Hopps challenge themselves by adding a rich series of flashbacks in the backwards style of Memento. Though according to the special features the script again ran twenty minutes short, and the flashbacks an afterthought, this time the filler is a lot more organic. It's pretty sophisticated for a made for TV animated film, but this isn't exactly kiddy stuff. Blood and Iron is a lot more violent and bloody than Sword of Storms was. I suppose it isn't possible to make a kid friendly film based on Elizabeth Bathoroy, but without getting too graphic they cover all the bases, including blood bathing, torture, and the murder of thousands of innocents.
As a little aside, I got this DVD in the mail the same weekend I got BCI's release of Paul Naschy's Vengeance of the Zombies, and I almost watched the films back to back. If I had I would've ended up watching different versions of the same story in a row. Both films feature the rebirth of a mythical representation of Elizabeth Bathoroy in modern times. Just though I'd share that.
The audience is expected to know these characters, and that really is how it should be, we shouldn't need a recap every time our heroes take on a new adventure. In this universe, which is different from both the comic and live action film versions, Professor Broom is still alive, and this feature belongs to his character. Hellboy and his friends take a back seat in the overall story, but aren't exactly fodder either. Joyously the filmmakers got John Hurt to revise the character, and he's surrounded by an all-star voice cast, including the returning Ron Perlman, Selma Blair, Doug Jones, and Peri Gilpin. A good script and great cast helps to smooth over some of the film's lesser animation.
This release looks a bit better than Sword of Storms, and appears to be a progressively flagged transfer. Animated edges are crisp without the usual edge enhancement, even though the line weight changes constantly. Colours are vibrant, and generally lack noise, with the noticeable exception of red, especially the hues used as shading on Hellboy himself, which are pretty distressing. It's too bad red is such a difficult colour to deal with, because these guys will have to continue to deal with it throughout other animation releases. The other most common hue, black, looks great, which goes a long way as this is a particularly dark episode. The general prettiness of the transfer gives away some of the more graceless animation (especially lower frame rates), so it's a bit of a double edges sword.
I don't have EX capabilities, but this Dolby Digital track was still more than enough to impress. When presenting low-budget animation as a serious feature film, a great soundtrack goes a long way. The surround channels here are lively, if moderately spaced. The score is a lovely take on Marco Beltrami's music used in Del Toro's live action version. The vocal work is great (though Selma Blair still doesn't sound like herself) and always crystal clear. The only thing I could ask for is a little more bass.
I was very impressed by the extras on Sword of Storms, and wondered where the producers could go on disc two. Not very surprisingly this disc features a slightly lesser collection of special features, but besides the previous releases' round table discussion (which was awesome), the two discs are pretty even.
Things start with the audio commentary, which features our two directors and Hellboy creator Mike Mignola. Tad Stones is the series leading force, and he fills in most of the commentary. Victor Cook interjects often enough, but Mingola kind of has to be forced to talk. Like the other commentary this one is full of self deprecation, and entertaining most of the way through.
Next up are two brief featurettes. The first is a quick compilation of the production, and includes a few words with live action film director and animation producer Guillermo del Toro. The other featurette is all about the Memento styled flashbacks. The admittance on the part of the filmmakers was a bit of a bummer for me personally, because I was hoping that I was the only reviewer that would say something about it in my review. Personal pride aside, the featurette is a little repetitive if you've already watched the commentary, but it's informative if you haven't.
Besides a bunch of trailers for other Starz releases, we get two shorts. The first is in the style of the animated series, and as Mignola tells us on his intro, mostly just an extended fight scene, but it's fun, as bonus animation usually is. The second short is a slightly animated comic, drawn in Mignola's style. It's a very creepy little story based on a very creepy Indian created mythical creature, the Penanggalan. This was cool for me because I had just learned about the creature myself in a book I was reading. Learn more about how icky the Penanggalan is by clicking this wiki-link.
One thing noticeably missing from the extras section of this DVD is the supposed follow up to the Sword of Storms featurette To Hell And Back: How Mike Mignola Created Hellboy (Part 1). The 'Part 1' led me to believe there would be a 'Part 2', and I wanted it. Maybe it was just a cruel joke.
Better than its predecessor, but still open to improvement, Blood and Iron is fine animated entertainment. It isn't quite adult yet, and doesn't blend the comic book and mature themes as well as the Timm/Dini DC series, but we're on the right track. The DVD is pretty much equal to the previous release, but seems to have misplaced an extra. I await more animated Hellboy adventure with a gleaming smile on my face. Hopefully these DVDs sell well.

There are some other differences too. In this Universe Liz and Hellboy aren't really interested in romance, they're more like brother and sister. Sword of Storms implied that Hellboy is interested in the Peri Gilpin character.

Love HellBoy! The comic, the movie this and SoS!

I thought the scene in SoS when Hellboy checks the flying heads' bodies into the river, thinking that they were corpes was hilarious.

Complaint Resolutions
One important way OCR carries out its responsibilities is by resolving complaints. Persons who believe there has been a violation of the civil rights laws enforced by OCR may file complaints with the appropriate enforcement office. OCR's process provides a forum for resolution of complaints of discrimination alleging violations of the civil rights laws.
OCR's primary objective is to resolve the complainant's allegations of discrimination promptly, fairly and appropriately. In FY 2003, OCR received 5,141 complaints (an increase of 2.4 percent from FY 2002 receipts) and resolved 5,246, some of which had been filed in previous years. Figure 2 shows the percentage of complaint receipts by jurisdiction.
Historically, the majority of complaints OCR receives in a fiscal year allege discrimination on the basis of disability. This was the case again in FY 2003, when 52 percent of the complaints OCR received alleged discrimination on the basis of disability. In a report released in February 2003, the National Council on Disability (NCD) recognized and commended ED's Office for Civil Rights for its timeliness in processing Section 504 complaints. NCD also praised OCR as the only federal agency with detailed data available to the general public about its work on disability complaints.6
OCR uses a variety of techniques to resolve complaints, ranging from facilitating voluntary resolutions between parties to negotiating agreements with recipients for voluntary compliance after compliance concerns have been established. If these methods fail, OCR issues violation letters and enters into negotiations to correct those violations. It is only after OCR has advised recipients of their failure to comply with the civil rights laws and has determined that compliance cannot be secured by voluntary means that, as a last resort, OCR seeks compliance through the administrative hearing process or refers cases to the U.S. Department of Justice. This approach allows OCR to:
- provide timely and effective intervention at the beginning of the complaint process;
- focus on achieving positive change; and
- keep students, parents and school officials central to the resolution of complaints.

Appendix A shows FY 2003 complaint receipts by OCR enforcement offices and Appendix B lists the contact information for each enforcement office.

Revlon was founded in 1932, by Charles Revson and his brother Joseph, along with a chemist, Charles Lachman, who contributed the "L" in the REVLON name. Starting with a single product - a nail enamel unlike any before it - the three founders pooled their meager resources and developed a unique manufacturing process.
Today, Revlon is a global leader in cosmetics, hair color, fragrances, skin care and beauty care products. As one of the strongest consumer brand franchises in the world, Revlon's products are sold in over 100 countries across six continents.
As a leading cosmetics brand, Revlon revitalized the industry over the years with iconic nail and lip colors and breakthrough technology like ColorStay transfer-resistant lipstick and makeup.
Revlon does not conduct animal testing and has not done so since 1989. They comprehensively test all of their products using the most technological advanced methods available ensuring they are both innovative and safe to use. The company believes that women should have the opportunity to express themselves through makeup, so the products are sold in many markets around the world and as such, are subject to local rules and regulations. Regulatory authorities in a few countries conduct independent testing in order to satisfy their own mandatory registration requirements. Revlon complies with all regulations in the countries in which their products are sold, and supports the advancement of non-animal testing alternatives and methodologies in the industry.

LONG BEACH, Calif. (MarketWatch) — World allocation mutual funds — so-called go-anywhere funds — have soared in popularity in the last 15 years, with assets rising about six-fold. The ability to let managers roam the planet to seek out the best investments, with few restrictions if any, has a certain appeal.
But new research by mutual-fund giant Vanguard Group suggests that added freedom does not translate into added returns. The study seems to dismiss world allocation funds — its title is "Broader opportunities, same limited results: An analysis of go-anywhere funds.'"
But actually these funds don't come off as all that bad. In fact, the better ones could serve investors well.
The Vanguard study looked at the performance of the universe of funds with flexible asset allocations from the beginning of 1998 to the middle of 2013, and compared that against various benchmarks: a 60/40 blend of stock and bond indexes; a default allocation inferred from the funds' asset-class exposures that was designed to assess risk-adjusted returns; all actively managed funds, and the benchmarks the managers say they follow.
Bottom line, the funds underperformed the 60/40 index mix by about 1.3% a year and their own benchmarks by about 0.5% a year. Risk-adjusted returns were virtually identical to those of actively managed funds generally, and to the allocation based on asset-class exposures.
The study's authors, Anatoly Shtekhman, Kimberly A. Stockton and Brian R. Wimmer, concluded:
"Over the past 15 years, go-anywhere funds have generated considerable interest and assets as investors have sought better performance. Unfortunately, however, the majority of investors in these funds appear to have been unsuccessful in their quest. The funds' appeal is that a manager is able to seek returns from a broad range of sources with limited constraints on allocations. Although greater opportunity is often seen as equating to higher returns, this, of course, does not take into account the skill needed to capitalize on that opportunity."
Variations on a theme
If the comparisons are limited to average results, then fair enough, but the authors themselves don't seem to be taking manager skill into account. They downplay another finding of their study — that the variation in individual fund performance was sizable.
The variation in monthly risk-adjusted returns was nearly 50% greater for go-anywhere funds than for the average actively managed fund. The authors acknowledge that "the overall distribution of alpha for the go-anywhere funds was wide, with a few extreme outliers in the tails," but then left it at that.
In fact, the wide dispersion of long-term returns suggests that go-anywhere funds are less inclined to feature regression to the mean than other fund categories. Put simply, good or bad funds in one period should stay that way in another. An analysis by investment researcher Morningstar supports that conclusion.
Morningstar was asked to look at world-allocation funds that have 10-year track records and require minimum investments of $10,000 or less and place them into quartiles based on their performance in each of five sets of two-year periods. The portfolios with the best 10-year returns tended to rank in the first- or second-quartile most of the way through the decade, while the bad ones tended to be bad or so-so throughout, seldom creeping into the top half.
First Eagle Global SGENX, -0.83% , for instance, the third best of the 31 funds in the world-allocation group, with an average total return of 10% during the last decade, ranked in the first or second quartile in each of the five two-year periods. The same goes for Thornburg Investment Income Builder TIBAX, -1.32% and Fidelity Global Balanced US:FGBLX , which ranked fifth and seventh overall, respectively.
There were exceptions. The two best world-allocation funds over 10 years, Waddell & Reed Asset Strategy US:UNASX and Ivy Asset Strategy WASCX, -1.11% , which are run by the same parent company, landed in the top quartile in three periods and the bottom in the other two. This suggests they took more risk to achieve their strong long-term performance. In any case, all five of these funds get a high rating, four or five stars, from Morningstar.
The Vanguard study concluded that go-anywhere funds are mediocre as a group, no better than average and maybe a bit worse. But investors don't have to buy the group. They can buy the best, and it's easy to tell which ones they are because they tend to stay that way over time.

Grand Theft Auto IV Walkthrough
|Three Leaf Clover (cont.)
When you reach the train tracks, subway cars will zip back and forth as cops on the other side begin descending the staircase and firing on you. Kill who you can, and when your partners jump into the tunnel and begin running, you should do the same. Turn around to kill the cops and SWAT members that pursue you, but make it a top priority to run down the tunnel before the going gets too tough. At the end of the tunnel you'll find a staircase leading up (be sure to dodge the incoming subway car!) and the series of stairs will wind up back on the surface level where, you guessed it, even more cops are waiting.
There's no time to lose here. As soon as you surface, run towards the SUV parked alongside your location on the street. Ignore the cops in the area, since they'll replenish themselves constantly. Unlike the rest of this post-robbery section of the mission, you'll actually be able to boost this car and make a run for it. Your ultimate goal is to get back to Packie's place in Dukes, but you have to lose the cops before you can drop everyone off. Fortunately, as long as you don't do anything too heinous on the way back, your wanted level should go down to a much more manageable three stars. Just be weary of the roadblocks cops have set up on the bridges, which are the only real challenges in between you, Dukes, and a hell of a lot of money.

Debt Ceiling Deal: DC Wins, Americans Lose
Washington, DC, Wall Street, and central bankers around the world rejoiced this week as Congress came to an agreement to end the government shutdown and lift the debt ceiling. The latest spending-and-debt deal was negotiated by Congressional leaders behind closed doors, and was rushed through Congress before most members had time to read it. Now that the bill is passed, we can see that it is a victory for the political class and special interests, but a defeat for the American people.Read more

Additional Information
Ceramic tiles will generally not require sealing (unless stated by the manufacturer). It is essential that the correct products are used for both the initial clean after fitting and to maintain them throughout their life.
PREPARE: For an initial clean, use diluted residue remover for honed and polished stone. Allow the residue remover to sit on the tile at least 10 minutes to allow the grout residue to be broken down. The use of an emulsifying pad will aid with removal of grout residue. Sometimes, particularly on a textured surface, after using residue removers there is still some residue which may be due to the polymer within the grout. This needs to be softened with an alkaline detergent. Use Tile and Stone Stain Remover in the same way as the residue remover.
CLEAN: To prevent the build up of deposits it is important that the correct cleaner is used, to maintain the tiles we suggest Tile & Stone Cleaner diluted.
Acidic or highly Alkaline cleaners are not recommended for maintenance of this tile as they will damage the life of the sealer .

I JUST thought I would warn other readers of the eagerness of our parking attendants in Kidderminster.
My wife and I were taking various items to Scope this morning and then visited the British Heart Foundation furniture shop to make arrangements for them to come and pick up some furniture.
We are emigrating to the USA in a week's time and have taken many items to Scope and other charity shops.
When we left the BHF shop, we found a parking attendant putting a ticket on our car and despite telling him we had been taking items to Scope and making arrangements with BHF he insisted that we had not been loading or unloading in the 10 minutes he had been stood by our car.
The penalty ticket says we were parked in a loading bay without loading. He refused to go and check with the Scope manager and accused me of a public order offence when I called him a 'jobsworth.' I have sent a cheque to Wyre Forest District Council with a protest but I expect them to ignore it and cash my cheque.

PORTSMOUTH — A Massachusetts man was killed Friday after his vehicle went off the roadway on Interstate 95.
William Lasonde, 63, of Methuen, Mass., died Friday after his vehicle left the right side of the interstate around 11:48 p.m., struck a guardrail, and rolled over multiple times.
State Police say that Lasonde was ejected from the vehicle, a 2006 Chevrolet HHR sedan, as a result. He was transported to Portsmouth Regional Hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
The accident occurred in the right median area that separates Interstate 95 northbound and the Exit 5 off-ramp.
A portion of the right travel lane was closed for approximately two hours as state troopers investigated this accident.
Assisting the State Police at the scene were the Portsmouth Police Department and the Portsmouth Fire Department.
This accident remains under investigation by State Trooper Scott Garton. Anyone with information pertaining to this accident is asked to contact Garton, of N.H. State Police Troop A, at (603) 223-8490.

HILLSDALE — A preseason poll has the Hillsdale Chargers as the 12th-best team in the country.
HILLSDALE — A preseason poll has the Hillsdale Chargers as the 12th-best team in the country.
The list is via www.compughterratings.com, a college football website by Steven Pugh that uses a mathematical formula to rank teams with a computer.
Hillsdale finished last season sixth in the rankings after an 8-3 conference championship season that saw the Chargers be shut out of the playoffs.
Despite being one of the top 12 in the country this year, Hillsdale will face a tough road, according to the poll. Its GLIAC cohorts Wayne State and Grand Valley State were ranked fourth and fifth, respectively.
Wayne State is coming off a run to the national title game, where they lost to Pittsburg State (ranked third this year). Grand Valley was one of the hottest teams in the country late last season, finishing 8-3 after a few early season stumbles.

Wiz Khalifa smokes away from pregnant girlfriend
The model confirmed her pregnancy last month (Sep12) by showing off her bump on the red carpet at the MTV Video Music Awards alongside her hip-hop star beau.
And the rapper has revealed he has banned cigarettes from their home and only sparks up outside so that Rose doesn't have to endure the smell of smoke.
He tells MTV.com, "I smoke outside instead of inside. Everything is all about smells, man. If the smell irritates her, then it gotta go (sic)."

In celebration of the release and immediate success of Sony and Naughty Dog's 'The Last of Us', Thirty & Nerdy thought it'd be fun to take a look at some of the best titles this sci-fi sub-genre has to offer. With that, in no particular order, their picks for Top 10 Uses Of The Post-Apocalypse In Video Games. Enjoy!
I love making lists because A: they're fun, and B: they get people talking! Linked above are my picks, but what about yours? I mean, I put Mortal Kombat in the list... there's gotta be some crazy stuff you guys and gals would include in your Top 10. Is Carmageddon post-apocalyptic? Haha.
That's a good list really. Not much to add. In Fallout3 and TLOU when you rummage through houses it gives you a feeling of complete isolation. And reading journals and diaries you really feel for the people that had their lives come to a sad end. Gut wrenching feeling really. But that's what makes those games great.
Star ocean did a great job of it actually, had WWIII a heavy nuclear war and then we advance space tech to generate jump technology and go planet hunting for a new world.

Ever noticed the politics of food packaging? Take a simple bag of chips. Some of us do, we admit, on occasion indulge in that guilty pleasure.
But not all chips are created alike. You have to read the fine and not-so-fine print to appreciate the difference.
Here�s a favorite: A chip that is gluten-free, Kosher, made with non-GMO potatoes, non-GMO sunflower oil, cholesterol free, with no trans fat and no MSG.
Wow. One might think it�s a super food.
But wait. As the package intones, there�s more goodness here.
Our chip bag also proclaims its charitable commitment. �We enthusiastically support various non-profit organizations by highlighting a different charity on every flavor of (XXX) snacks. (we�re blurring the company name to protect the innocent and not give it an unfair advantage in the minds of shoppers). If this charity resonates with you, please consider helping their cause!�
Then the charity appears, with a helpful QR image, allowing eaters to drag out their smartphones, scan, and learn more, while also collecting coupons for good measure.
Politically, this wee bag of chips is beyond reproach. That is, until you get to the part about 140 calories, 11 percent of your recommended daily allowance of fat, and 10 percent of your recommended sodium allotment. And that�s for just one of the two servings in the bag, or 12 chips! Really, who eats just 12 politically perfect chips?
Not us. We woofed down the whole bag, and then felt guilty. Just not as guilty had it not been so pure.

0 Members and 1 Lonely Barbarian are spying on this topic.
No matter which way you choose to go, I think the appearance of magic will have a huge impact on how others view religion. I expect many of the deeply religious would find such a thing highly offensive and seek to wipe it out. The crusades might start a little closer to home.Personally, I'm more fond of option B. You could keep roughly the same religions but file off the serial numbers (much as you talk about doing for the countries.) Sure we would all be able to guess what religions you refer to, but it would keep you from having to invent things whole cloth (I assume this is a point of using an alternate history.) I would say that the gods are not so much gods as they are powerful entities able to grant magical powers to the faithful. In this way everything works consistently under the same rough system of magic but you have so many seeds for conflict.
I don't see how this is any different from Gods in any other fantasy world. One could argue that divine magic is proof of their existence, IF divine magic really does come from the gods. Not like anyone could prove it, short of having a god appear. And even then, some people could claim it was all an illusion, plus as time goes by and nothing else happens, it is forgetten/skewed rather quickly. People will always find ways to disbelieve things, just let the gods/god keep quiet I say. Maybe they could deign to speak to any heads of their religion, like the Pope or something. Not like he hasn't claimed to have heard the voice of god anyways. And of course crazies make excellent prophets.
From the read it seams like only #1 would work, unless your historical myths have the gods getting involved during the dark ages. My reasoning is if the gods didn't do anything to stop the mass destruction of the dark ages, why would they show up now? If they do, you will have to explain that too.If you plan on using clerics with spells given by the gods or intend to have gods be involved with the world, then let them appear and do their thing in some kind of form or another. If you don't have a distinct reason for having gods, it would be so much easier to just let them be silent and concentrate on the magic as the primary supernatural type effect.What it boils down to is what direction do you want to take? Are gods fun for you? Then do it for sure! If you don't care about them and are just doing them because you think maybe you should. Then dump them as you probably won't give them the attention they need.
I have always held that in the 'typical' high fantasy world (like D&D) that the belief in gods was never in question, but rather their worthiness to be worshiped. Its hard to hold a atheistic belief when the gods can flex their power so obviously, or even walk the land themselves on occasion, but its easy to say they are not worthy of worship, that they do not follow through on promises, or that the aspect itself is flawed (such as refuting a evil god).The issue here is this world is transitioning from one type to another, and the belief system has not changed.If the gods were inclined to keep their peace, and remain silent, then I could see this happening. IT would only take one, though... maybe there could be a divine accord that prevents contact, even with the seal broken. Any one breaking that rule would face the wrath of the other gods. It becomes a little more complicated with mortal magic in the mix though. Not at first, but when people start getting the hang of magic again they can begin to pierce the veil if I don't obscure it intentionally as part of cosmology.
I see an opportunity here for you to use the Seal to your advantage. Perhaps the gods *did* communicate and were more-or-less visible in the lives of mortals before the Seal was placed (back during Arthurian times). However, they were locked away or prevented from extending their reach in the world afterward (maybe Merlin had something to do with that).Now that the Seal is broken, the gods could potentially resume their old roles and schemes. They might start interfering with life on "Earth" in a big way, and there might be many who resent the intrusion. I can imagine that a lot of religions held to a certain doctrine, in absence of divine guidance. Now that the boss has returned, however, the Church may find that they were doing something wrong the whole time. Or perhaps the deity just wants to shake things up, replace people in key positions within the Church. There could be huge splits within the larger religions -- between those that accept the return of the god, and those who are losing power because of it.For many, this would be akin to the Second Coming, happening for all the worlds' religions, all at once (oh, so *that's why Jesus never came back ). Gods would reward those who stayed faithful, or try to regain control in places where they had been forgotten. Whatever changes had occurred in their absence might be very displeasing to them, so expect the rites, ceremonies and beliefs to be rolled back to the way they were over a thousand years prior. Old forms of punishment and reward would be reinstated.In other words, it would be complete and utter chaos. Perfect fodder for a campaign What the gods actually *are* and whether or not they are worthy of worship is another matter altogether. No answers here, but I'll leave you with a couple of questions: how powerful are these beings, really, if they can be sealed away like all the other mythical creatures? And where do they come from in the first place?
2 Ideas;The sun used to run counter-clockwise around the world, and that somehow let magic into the world. When magic returns, the world's rotation will start to slow down until it reverses.Like the ozone layer, a kind of anti-magic layer exists somewhere beyond the moon, for whatever reason that layer has now started to wane and letting magic through. This also implies that it could be true in our reality, since noone has ever travelled beyond the moon.In both of these cases, the moon could somehow act like a lock or a seal, somehow.
nteresting idea... the moon as a Lunar Seal. Maybe the Sealing happened on the moon, with Merlin and a few other mages enacting the ceremony on the moon, away from prying eyes. This could be how a ARCANE seal could stop the flow of magic without defeating itself.
Sometime between 1870 and 1900, however, things changed. One day, without warning, a solar eclipse occurred when there should have been no such event. In areas where the moon was visible, it turned blood red. Lights cascaded across the sky reminiscent of the Aurora-Borealis (aka Northern Lights) and the earth shook. Then, it just stopped.
•Abrahamic Religion - these religions all claim to worship the same god, and that the others have got the transcription wrong. (Simplification.) For this setting, fuse the Abrahamic religions (Jewish, Christian, Islam, Bahá'í Faith, ect.) into one. This monotheistic religion believes the others are false, pretenders, and that only God is God. They also are heavily anti-arcane, and see it as a abomination and a sin. Clerics will gain power to dispel magic.
•Polytheistic Faith - Believing in one or more of many gods, divided by domain and aspect. These gods do not reject the existence of other gods, and so can cooperate more harmoniously if necessary. The Chinese Celestial Bureaucracy is a good example, or the Greek Pantheon. This resembles how religion is often treated in fantasy. The power of a cleric - and what is asked of him or her - depends on the god or gods worshiped.
•Animistic - Believing not in gods, but in ancestral guidance or guidance from spirits, these beings are clearly not deific but are no less revered. Shinto, and some parts of Native American religion is like this. These clerics attempt to live in harmony with these forces, and draw their power from that. D&D style Druids fall under this section, as do some demonologists (think more 'lesser' demons like oni, although Diabolists probably exist too.)
Idealistic - not relying on the presence of gods for enlightenment, these religions practice a path of introspection and reflection. Buddhism and certain variants of Taoism are like this. There can be a number of these 'paths' and each one is no less true for the others. Psychic powers would arise from followers of these paths.
•Animistic - Believing not in gods, but in ancestral guidance or guidance from spirits, these beings are clearly not deific but are no less revered.

Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome, or TTTS, is a disease of the placenta. This condition affects twins or other multiples that share a single placenta containing blood vessels going from one baby to the other.
Blood from the smaller "donor" twin is transferred to the larger "recipient" twin through interconnecting vessels causing an unequal exchange of blood.
The recipient twin is at risk for heart failure receiving too much blood from both the placenta and donor twin, forcing its heart to work harder, while the donor twin is at risk for loss of blood.
Laser surgery may be performed to correct the problem. A laser is endoscopically inserted into the womb to burn and seal the interconnecting blood vessels, restoring the normal flow of blood. Following treatment, the babies are regularly monitored.

By Abby Schultz and JeeYeon Park, CNBC.com
Stocks closed well off the lows of the day after plunging in the wake of a powerful earthquake in Japan renewed investor fears about supply disruptions and the ongoing nuclear crisis, and as oil jumped above $110 a barrel.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average fell 17.26 points, or 0.14 percent, to close at 12,409.49, after tumbling nearly 100 points immediately after news of the quake. The blue-chip index, which rose slightly in the previous session to the highest level since June 2008, has fluctuated between a loss of 30 to 100 points since the quake was reported.
Among Dow components, Caterpillar and General Electric fell, while Home Depot gained.
The S&P 500 fell 2.03 points, or 0.15 percent, to close at 1,333.51, while the Nasdaq fell 3.68 points, or 0.13 percent, to close at 2,796.14. The CBOE Volatility Index, widely considered the best gauge of fear in the market, rose above 17.
Most key S&P 500 sectors declined, led by utilities and industrials, while energy rose.
Stocks continued to trade lower even after news that a tsunami warning was lifted, and the magnitude of the Japan quake was slightly less than first reported, because there was "no reason to come back," said Dan McMahon, director of equity trading at Raymond James.
"There are times to do nothing, and this may well be one of them," McMahon said.
At issue is trading continues to take place amid extremely thin volume, and there's no real catalyst to move stocks higher, he said.
"The general concensus among investors is they don't see a lot of opportunities," McMahon said. "They are of the mind that stocks are fairly valued, if not expensive."
The earthquake hit an area 60 miles east of Sendai and 90 miles from Fukushima, near the area devastated by a March 11 earthquake and tsunami. Of the hundreds of aftershocks that have followed the earlier quake, none have been 7.0 or stronger.
As earnings season is about to begin in full swing, the quake was a reminder to investors that they still don't know the full effects of the first quake, said Doreen Mogavero of Mogavero & Lee.
"There is a real reason to be concerned how the Japanese economy will effect the rest of the world," Mogavero said, adding that it's not surprising stock prices continue to drop. "Looking at rate hikes, inflation fears, oil crossing to $109...there are a myriad of things that would cause someone who has made a lot of money to take some off the table."
Before the quake hit, stocks were trading mixed in a narrow range, as the market took a pause after the Dow broke through to a new high on Thursday, and the S&P 500 broke above 1,333, a recent resistance point. Those gains have largely reflected investor sentiment that first quarter earnings will be good, according to Marc Pado, market strategist and technical analyst at Cantor Fitzgerald.
The S&P 500 reached a recent high of just under 1,344 on Feb. 18, and remains below that level in part because of the performance of bank stocks, which make up a significant percentage of the index, Pado said.

Hunger Games stars laugh off clumsy accidents on set
Hardly a day went by without the actors falling, banging their heads or stumbling and Clafin is convinced film fans would love to see their clumsy moments.
He says, "There should be a whole sizzle reel of us just falling over... I fell when we were just standing there. Jennifer was just as bad, though."
Lawrence adds, "Sam is the clumsiest, most accident prone person in the world. He broke his hand within the first week . He walked into a twig and his eye was bleeding. He fell every single scene... and I hit myself with my bow and I flew backwards."
And their clumsiness caught on, Lawrence tells Entertainment Weekly, "The funniest thing that happened was when Josh (Hutcherson) got down on one knee to propose to me - and his pants ripped."
Director Francis Lawrence admits he enjoyed his cast's accident - and there was one he relished after his leading lady tumbled down a ramp in her character Katniss Everdeen's wedding dress.
He recalls, "You went down and it was one of those squeaky slow slides down the rail, all the way to the bottom."

Depth is all relative for Bluffton High's volleyball team.
The 10th-ranked Bobcats have only nine players on their varsity roster, but they showed last week that every one of them can excel in an important match.
Playing without a pair of starters, Bluffton (16-6) swept visiting Hilton Head Island 25-15, 26-24 on Wednesday.
"It was different, but I wasn't worried," senior middle blocker Abby Roulston said. "All of our players - I feel like we can put them in any position and we'll be fine."
Bluffton started the day with a three-game victory over Savannah Christian, in which Morgan Delaplane and Madison Cooler collided and hit the floor. Cooler was helped off the court, but Delaplane continued playing and the Bobcats won 27-29, 25-15, 25-19.
Cooler and Delaplane missed the Hilton Head match with concussions, Bluffton coach Al Stern said. They were also held out of Thursday's 25-15, 25-14 victory at Ashley Ridge, in which the Bobcats improved to 3-0 in SCHSL Region 8-AAAA.
Melissa Bornstein got the start at libero for the senior Delaplane. Liz Collins filled in for Cooler, an eighth-grader, as a middle blocker. That left the Bobcats with only one reserve on the bench.
"I was concerned," Stern said. "Madison is really good on the floor because she just does a lot of things, and of course Morgan is our best passer. If the other girls don't step up and they get intimidated, we've got a real problem. But as you saw, they all stepped up. They played really well."
Mackenzie Cooler came through with 26 kills on the day and helped silence a Hilton Head rally in the second game.
Bluffton controlled the first game and pulled ahead 23-17 in the second, but the Seahawks went on a 7-1 run to tie it at 24.
Cooler broke the tie with a kill, and Abby Roulston closed it out with a powerful block that hit the left line. There was a short discussion between the two officials, who confirmed the initial call that Roulston's block stayed inbounds.
In previous years, Stern kept 12 players on the varsity so the team could practice 6-on-6 drills. He decided this season to go with the school's nine best players to increase the level of competition in practice.
Bluffton brought up several junior varsity players for the trip to Ashley Ridge, in case another injury left the Bobcats even more short-handed.
"I wanted only players I can put on the court and not worry about them," Stern said. "That paid off (Wednesday). All the girls are used to playing and they've got confidence in each other."

Beautiful Architectural USA Decorative Grates
Sewage from our homes and businesses gets in the sewage system through a series of underground pipelines. Sewage created by businesses are considered trade waste which is usually more polluted than residential waste and requires special treatment.
Sewage waste eventually reaches bigger pipelines which transport the waste to treatment plants. The sewage pipes and drains pipes are normally slopping downward– gathering nature's gravity to send out sewage to treatment plants where pumps are used to bring the waste to ground level for treatment.
At the treatment plants, sewage is processed prior to being resupplied as recycled water or being discharged to seas and rivers. This network of drains and pipelines are constantly working to supply our modern-day settlements with clean water and to effectively process sewage waste– a tradition that Man has actually been practicing for thousands of years without which modern-day civilization can never be realised.
As quickly as sanitized water is utilized, it ends up being wastewater, waste drainage has to be processed and dealt with once again– this non stop process enlivens our cities and the sewage system plays an essential function in our capability to build terrific cities supporting countless city dwellers.

Green Architecture
Green architecture, philosophy of architecture that advocates sustainable energy sources, the preservation of energy, the reuse and safety of building materials, and the siting of a building with consideration of its effect on the environment.
In the early 21st century the building of shelter (in all its kinds) consumed more than half of the world's resources– translating into 16 percent of the Earth's freshwater resources, 30– 40 percent of all energy supplies, and 50 percent by weight of all the raw materials withdrawn from Earth's surface. The architecture was likewise responsible for 40– 50 percent of waste deposits in garbage dumps and 20– 30 percent of greenhouse gas emissions.
Numerous architect designers after the post-World War II building boom were content to erect emblematic civic and corporate icons that celebrated profligate consumption and omnivorous globalization. At the turn of the 21st century, however, a building's ecological friendliness– as seen in the way it was designed and how it ran– ended up being an essential consider how it was evaluated.
By the mid-1980s and continuing through the '90s, the variety of ecological advocacy societies significantly expanded; groups such as Greenpeace, Environmental Action, the Sierra Club, Friends of the Earth, and the Nature Conservancy all experienced blossoming memberships. For architects and home builders a significant turning point was the solution in 1994 of Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards, established and administered by the U.S. Green Building Council. These standards provided measurable requirements for the design and building of ecologically responsible structures.

Potty Training - HELP
I have a 13 weeks old sheltie and I've been trying to potty train it to go outside, but he just won't go!
He have been previously going on newspaper in the house.
I'm doing the crate thing... but its not working.
I take him out after eating and playing.. I know he has to go but he won't do it. When I bring him back I see him going to go, so I took him out but nothing happens. I put him in his crate... then outside... I've been doing this for over a hour. But he just won't go outside. I even place newspaper with pee outside.
I don't know what to do! Please give me some advice. Thanks!!!
At 13 weeks, your dog is still just a wee pup. With patience and persistence, the housebreaking will happen--you just need to give it more time. He's been used to going inside the house and it will take a while to break him of the habit.
If you catch him in the act, use a gutteral correction (a rough ayn-ayn in the throat), pick him up and take him outside to finish up. Be prepared to wait a while...he's not used to going outside and he'll need lots of patience from you while he figures it out. Don't yell or rub his nose in it--just take him outside. And when you finally do see him go in the proper place (outside), praise him up as if he's just done the most marvelous thing in the world.
If you don't catch him in the act, don't punish him at all--he won't have a clue what you're mad about. The lesson is already lost. So just clean it up and try to watch him more closely next time.
Watch what he's doing and see if you can pick up the signals immediately preceding an accident. Eventually, you'll be able to see the signs and get him out before he goes. When he goes outside, remember to praise him.
Also, invest in a good enzymatic cleanser made to eliminate the odor of urine. Without the cleaner, even if you can't smell it, I can guarantee you your pup can, and he'll take it as a marker for a place where he can go again. So if you aren't already using a cleaner especially made for urine, for sure pick one up as soon as you can.
Good luck with your little guy, rubbish. It takes time, persistence and patience, but it will happen!

"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
When they are transitioning to outside, you need a lot of time to devote to them. When you take him out, you don't wait 10 minutes or half an hr, you wait until he goes--however long it takes. A long leash and a book sometimes works in good weather. In bad, you must just walk around until he has to go or burst. When he does finally go--LOADS of praise and excitement on your part--best puppy ever! Anything he used indoors to pee on should be outside to give him the idea. Goodluck, it will happen, just takes work.

Thanks so much for the advice. He finally figure it out.
Paul Loeb method for potty training a dog:
this method works VERY quickly, most dogs will understand/pick this up in less than 2 days.
mature dogs (a year old or more) will get this in a few HOURS, and after learning, hardly EVER make mistakes, while puppies will take a little longer as their memories aren't as established as a mature dog, and they need more "reminders"
you'll need:
roll of paper towels
bottle of white vinegar (I fill a small squeeze"kethup" bottle)
bottle of tabasco
dogs sense of smell is acutely attuned to acids, they can pick up only a couple of parts per BILLION with acids, and is how they communicate with urine. you will use the vinegar as your "pee", the dog will instantly understand that by covering doggy urine with the vinegar, you are "claiming" the floor.
here's the procedure: when doggie makes a mistake, you go get the dog and bring them to the urine/poop spot, it is CRITICAL that you have NO EMOTION when you do this, you must remain calm, or doggie will get confused.
you should have already set the roll of towels, and the bottles of vinegar and tabasco nearby, now here's where most people freak out: sit on and straddle the dog so the head is sticking out between your legs, and take a rolled up towel and dab it in the urine, now place that IN the dogs mouth (yes, I know), now while the towel is in doggies mouth, you say "no" calmly, then squirt some of the vinegar onto the pee/poop, and take the towel out of doggies mouth, again dab it in the now "human scented" pee, and again place it in the dogs mouth, and repeat the "no", again VERY CALM,..now remove the towel from doggies mouth, and take a tiny drop of the tabasco on your finger, and dab it on doggies upper gums, just under the nose, and again repeat the "no" command,......now calmly release doggie, and let them go about their business,....for about 10-15 minutes after the "correction", just like ceasar says : "no talk, no touch, no eye contact" which helps re-enforce the training.
leave the vinegar urine spot as is for a few hours, so doggie runs across it several times, reminding them that YOU OWN THE FLOOR, then clean it up with an enzymatic cleaner, and I drop a couple of drops of the vinegar on the spot after it's clean, so that doggie gets a reminder that they are not allowed to pee/poop on the floor.
as you are potty training doggy, you'll need to pay careful attention to doggie so that when they need to go, you recognize the signs (looking around, whining, pawing at the floor, etc,..) and get them outside BEFORE THEY GO, and when doggie DOES go outside, give lots of praise, good boys/girls, and maybe even a treat, just whatever reward you give doggie, BE CONSISTENT.
remember a dog will not remember the ten thousand times you said "no", they just remember that ONE TIME YOU SAID YES so consistency is CRITICAL if you expect doggie to understand what your rules are.
now this will seem somewhat severe to the average dog layman, but I rehabilitate shelter dogs, and even with a 4 year old completely neglected, wild, non house trained dog , they "get it", in less than a day (most in just a few HOURS), and rarely make mistakes after.
nothing else I have tried works this well, or this quickly on SOOOO many dogs of all ages, and personality types.
let the flaming begin.

I've never had to resort to such a thing, reckon...even with my 2-yr-old non-housebroken rescue...and have never had trouble getting a dog to catch on pretty quickly. I wouldn't recommend such harsh training, especially with rescue whose history you don't know.
Slapping your kid upside the head when they do wrong will work, too, but what does it do to the kid?
"We are--each of us--dying; it's how we live in the meantime that makes the difference."
"It's not what you gather, but what you scatter that tells what kind of life you have lived!"
"Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle."
see? this is what I was saying, this is NOT a rough thing, or harsh in any way, the dog never feels threatened, and I never have any trouble with them in this.
if you saw me do it, you'd understand
anyway, glad you totally misunderstood, thanks for that
if you guys want pee and poop in your house for two months before doggie gets it, that's up to you, I just posted this so you'd see an alternative method that even works on older dogs, and quickly, because you are "speaking dog", and using urine to communicate what your rules are, just like THEY DO.
but I expected this, seems I know people better than dogs and cats.

Potty Training - HELP
omg, now I've heard every possible abusive method of house training. Way to go.
IMO, if you wouldn't want it done to you, you shouldn't do it to your dog. Simple.
rubbish - good advice above from hazelrunpack and DoubleRR. Remember that it takes a lot of patience and you can't reasonably expect your dog to be 100% reliable until at least 6 months of age. Even then, illness, stress, etc. can cause isolated accidents.
