Fall Creek Falls is Tennessee's largest waterfall. Located in Fall Creek Falls State Park. One of the best state parks that I have ever visited. My trip there was a basically a drive by but still got to see some stunning scenery. Also realized that a drive by is not going to cut it next time I visit that part of the state.
At 256 feet it is the highest free-fall waterfall east of the Mississippi River. At least that is what they claim. Other states claim that due to the Fall Creek Falls nature the top part as you can see in the photographs makes Fall Creek Falls first dozen or so feet count. I am not one for semantics. I just know that it is beautiful and worth a visit. I highly recommend going in the spring because Falls Creek Falls has a sister waterfall Coon Creek Falls that flows right next to it. It is seasonal but it does make for a more impactful viewing.
A person can view Fall Creek Falls from the parking lot. Wonderful views there. However, if physically inclined to do it. There is a short but very steep trail down to the base of Fall Creek Falls. I took the hike down and while it was easy going down but a bit of a dyspneic (my word of the day I might as well use it) causing journey on the way out. It was well worth it.

I Made America is a transmedia comedy show about six founding fathers kidnapped from their time to be used as props in the upcoming 2012 election. After discovering the differences between these men and today's politicians (on top of their foolishness) they are cut off, leaving them penniless, unemployed and alone in Chicago. The story follows John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison, the rock stars of their time, fighting to regain their former statuses when they are 200 years out of place.

2015 and 2016 in Review
Like many progressive American people, 2016 has been an alarming year for me.
I got re-invested in the political process during the primaries. Thinking about the issues led me to finally get to This Changes Everything: Capitalism vs. the Climate by Naomi Klein on my to-read list. This book is a clarion call to agitate for immediate climate action.
And then Trump was elected. In addition to his distressing racist, sexist, and dishonest rhetoric and behavior, his potential nominations for his cabinet are a climate nightmare.
In comparison to the challenges of climate change mitigation and an authoritarian president, my psychedelic space fantasy comics have seemed such an inadequate pursuit. I still believe in the power of stories and that art has transcendent value but I feel so privileged working on comics while the world collapses around me. Especially when I see what activists can accomplish in places like Standing Rock. I'm not sure if I want to make my comics more political or just get more involved with activist groups.
So I haven't been as productive in 2016 as I was in 2015.
In 2015 I drew a lot and tabled at SPX for the first time. I had pages in four anthologies, Blank Hill Zine, RhiZome #3, Ink Brick #4, and Future Shock Zero. Yeah Dude Comics put out my mini-comic Sphere Fear. I finished Skew Part 3 and a couple other comics for Study Group. I did two large Acrylic paintings as rewards for the Fall 2014 Sparkplug Books Kickstarter.
In 2016 I tabled locally at the KC Zine Fest but didn't travel to any national shows. I did some watercolor paintings for a couple of KC area art shows. Alternative Comics took over the Sparkplug backstock and then released Vortex through Diamond and produced a digital edition.
My biggest accomplishment was finishing Skew Part 4 and an epilogue. As a reward for reading through this post, here are six pages from Part 4:
Page 183.
Page 184.
Page 185.
Page 186.
Page 187.
Page 188.
One of my goals in 2017 is to find a publisher for a print edition of Skew.
I've also been working on another comic that should come out next year. It's weird to work on comics that I'm not posting as soon as they're finished. I don't want to say anything else for fear of jinxing it. And I'm involved in at least one other anthology-ish project for 2017.

Fearing Discrimination Against Other E.U. Drivers, Europe Warns Germany Against Auto Highway Tolls
As debate rages in Berlin's political circles about the government's controversial plan to charge non-German drivers for using the nation's roadways, the European Commission is raising new concerns about potential discrimination against diesel car owners.
What, exactly, does Brussels need to know in order to effectively evaluate the proposal? How will the Commission determine if the toll violates the European Union's anti-discrimination laws? Opinions within the E.U.'s executive body are as divided as its actions. For example, the Commission's legal service is seeking far more information from the German government than E.U. Transport Commissioner Siim Kallas considers necessary.
A source familiar with the E.U. concerns told Handelsblatt that Commission lawyers have put together a catalog of questions for Berlin to determine if the road tax planned by Alexander Dobrindt, Germany's minister of transport, is a form of covert discrimination.
"It involves very difficult points of detail," the source said. "The whole concept could be shot to pieces."
Mr. Dobrindt proposes an infrastructure fee on all roads for vehicles with a total weight of 3.5 tons beginning in 2016. He would exempt German drivers because they already pay a motor vehicle tax.
Germany is one of the few European nations without a national toll for cars. Virtually all of its neighbors – Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Poland and Switzerland – charge all drivers, foreign and domestic, to use their roadways. But Berlin's proposal varies by targeting only non-German drivers.
A poll conducted by the German automobile club ADAC found that only 8 percent of respondents favored a road tax on all drivers, but 52 percent support tolls for foreign drivers.
But if Brussels warns of putting foreigners at a disadvantage, where does the discrimination begin? Could some German drivers also be unfairly penalized?
The cost of an annual tax sticker for German cars is determined by the classifications under the country's motor vehicle tax law. Owners of diesel-powered cars pay a comparatively higher fee than those with gasoline vehicles under German law, but since more diesel vehicles are on the streets and roads of Germany than outside it, German owners would, on average, still be paying more of a road fee than foreigners. The E.U.'s legal service argues this could even be seen as discriminatory against German nationals in favor of visiting foreigners.

nice rendering. even my sister says pretty fricken' kickass
thanks dude
First of all...
Great work, how long did it take? a day?
also, is there a background story to the character? or is the character shown part of a race? very cool...
and since I know you like heavy music you won't find too many submissions that are high quality (recording-wise) but I could be wrong, so I'd say go to the audio portal, check out the top 100 metal submissions, and pick a couple that catch your eye
By the way this looks fun if it's a game...
Honestly? Took 2 weeks to render all the scenes, i need to learn more of optimization
I will try to check in the portal to see if i find something interesting XD
Really cool looking! I like how it transforms and the design of the character, I have to say looks amazing. I think you should redesign the red spikes that come out from its arms. smaller, perhaps? maybe like the stingers that spiderman had.
I will try to update that, i made it only as a example but i can make better the stings, thanks :D
Okay, your 3D style is good...
... but not much else is. It's a rather pointless video (not even a flash!) of a 3D-rendered figure that starts out as a canine and can transform into that creepy guy from Death Note. (Joke.) I'd rate higher, but this is, after all, a 3D video and not a flash, and though there's nothing against the rules that say you must create flashes, it may be a good idea to give a better warning to the viewer of the nature of the video than just saying this is an assignment for 3DMAX class -- I would have thought this was another Xiao Xiao parody.
Not to be rude or anything -- in fact, your 3D art style is very impressive. It's just that, there's no real point to the video besides showing off. Come on, there must be more!
Well, i uploaded the 3d because i want to know the opinions of the people to make the real project, and make something really kickass
i like more to upload things in NG, because youtube sucks a lot to have constructive critism
More smothness to the caracter i think so it look mer "Real". and the sound maybe haw som sugetionts for. But what kind of movie is it going to be. more story line? (more easy to decide what sound)
anyway Great work tho !
The movie is like a GAME TRAILER, showing some gameplay and scenes
i practiced the moves on the character so i think that i can do it better for the real one
about the sound, i dont have any *** idea :(

I'm on a OS X, python 2.5. Basically I will have a remote application pushing data (GPS) over the network to a python application I have running on my Mac, I want this python application to again push the data on to a "virtual serial port". Then the GPS program I have running on my MAC, RouteBuddy, can read the data from that serial port as standard. The only part I am concerned about here though, is if I can create a serial port virtually and push data out of it? Hope that defines a little more clarity for yourself.

Its name reveals its identity, since this is the first vermouth bar in Greece. Of course we are referring to Odori Vermuteria di Atene, which is located at Agion Theodoron square, right in the heart of Athens. A visit here will leave you with the best impression. Its interior will remind you the Italian vermouth bars (or rather a contemporary version of them), which were first established in Turin.
You can always pick one of the cozy tables outside the establishment on 2, Skouleniou street for your meal or to have drink and a chat. The impressive bar is the absolute protagonist inside and "allures" all those seeking to satisfy their Italian tastes. The largely successful and very talented Nine Design company is responsible for the enchanting, albeit surreal design, featuring lush gardens on the walls and chandeliers hanging like birds from the ceiling.
The two main elements of the heart stealing menu are vermouth and pizza. Manolis Lykiardopoulos, ranked 5th in the World Class Bartender of the Year 2015 competition, and his team consider vermouth as their top choice for a cocktail base and they will try to initiate you into its taste. Its catalogue can be considered as a "guide to love vermouth". It is comprised of aperitivo cocktails that work as appetizers, three worth sampling versions of the negroni cocktail, unusual variations of classic cocktails –Dry Martini, Manhattan, Martinez– and many more inspired proposals. But this doesn't mean that you will not be able to enjoy your favorite drink. Instead, here you will have the opportunity to create your own negroni, using your favorite spirit –rum, tequila, gin, bourbon– as base.
The wine list –supervised by Elias Georgopoulos– is very meticulous and includes selected brands from the Greek and the international vineyards. The element that binds those selections together is the fact that they all come from Italian grapes.
Now it's time to talk about the pizza. It's considered one of the best in town, as it is baked in a firewood oven from Naples and praises the famous pizza napoletana. Words don't do it justice, therefore we urge you to taste it –we propose the one with truffle oil.
Of course the menu –largely comprised by Alberto Similidis– includes more suggestions, like bruschetta, salads, pasta (the oven lasagna with beef ragu are a best seller plate) and deserts (the strawberry semifreddo is our favorite).
Every Sunday, authentic Italian brunch is served, which literally makes a splash. With a separate card available until 18.00, it includes interesting proposals, such as sweet potato pancakes, Carbonara pizza with white sauce and truffle, piadina con polo (thin tortilla-shaped pizza dough with mushroom sauce, chicken, chopped pancetta and vegetables), smoked salmon on whole-wheat bread with poached egg and beetroot sauce, Italian scrambled eggs with fresh bread, prosciutto, truffle oil and truffle piece

IMAGES of BELIZE
This is a banner showing photos from Tony Rath Photography.
One of the most impressive natural sites in Toledo is the Hokeb Ha Cave at Blue Creek. The cave is a 20 minute hike from the village. Hike a well marked, sometimes cemented path along to the creek, until a clearing appears. Pass through the research station in the clearing finding the wide trail on the other side. Follow this trail, bearing toward the stream on your left till you meet a wide dry creek filled with white stones. After crossing the dry creek, the trail may become vague, but continue along the creek heading upstream along the base of increasingly steep limestone cliffs. In a few minutes, a 10 foot waterfall and the main cave entrance appears.
Long vines hang from the sheer rock wall above the cave mouth. The huge cave entrance is carved from the summit of a hill where the Blue Creek gurgles up from underground. The creek runs out the entrance of the cave, cascading over limestone boulders, under the towering shadows of the surrounding rainforest. Archaeologists have found many Late Classic ceramics and an altar inside the cave, leading them to theorize that the Hokeb Ha cave was used specifically for ceremonial purposes.
While it is possible (though not recommended) to visit the cave on your own, a guide must accompany visitors for any exploration of the caves interior. With a guide it is possible to take a four hour tour through the cave that leads you out through another entrance. The calm water at the main entrance is perfect for swimming most times of the year. At certain times during the rainy season, the cave is not accessible due to the possibility of a sudden rise in water. Check at Blue Creek Village for a guide and cave conditions.
Tiger Cave is a 1 1/2 hour hike from San Miguel. The cave received its name from the villagers after a dog chased a jaguar cub inside the cave many years ago.
The hike to Tiger Cave requires a guide. The trail mostly passes through second growth forest. You will pass nearby corn milpas and jungle streams. Ask your guide to spot a jippi jappa plant. This plant grows wild in the rainforest. The freshly-picked, tender, white heart of the young plant is delicious.
A small hotspring called "Blue Hole" by the villagers is hidden along the way. Just before the entrance to the cave, your guide will point out a long vine and give you a chance to swing from a five foot high limestone boulder. The cave is only five minutes away from a wide blue green creek which you'll cross by canoe.
The dark entrance of the cave squeezes through narrow elevated corridors leading to a wide interior chamber. Large gaping holes in the ceiling of the cave emit shafts of sunlight into the dark interior. Over the years, rain pouring through the gaps in the cave ceiling have formed smooth indentations on the limestone floor of the cave. Large pieces of broken pottery lie scattered on a ledge. No streams or creeks run through the entrance chamber. Deeper into the cave you will have to cross water.
The return trip can be made by dugout canoe. Float downstream through riverine forests as your maya guide points out wildlife and plants along the way.
Laguna Cave is about an hour hike from Laguna Village. Leaving the village, you must cross a small stream. The first stretch of the trail lies over hilly grounds and through secondary forest. Cacao orchards are present along the way. Guides point out the jippi jappa tree and the jackass bitters. The jippi jappa tree is used for both food and crafts. The heart of the tree is eaten and the leaf is used for weaving baskets. Jackass bitters is a medicinal plant used to cure belly aches and malaria.
After trekking through tall forest for about half and hour, the gaping limestone entrance of the cave appears. A 12-foot-high ladder leads to the interior. Once inside, the ground slopes downward among stalagmites and stalactites. No streams or rivers flow through the cave - it is dry. A few pieces of broken pottery lie on the floor. A colony of bats hide in dark crevices. The ceiling of the cave has gaping holes where the forest canopy is visible. A 20-minute hike takes you to the end of the cave where there is another entrance.
Tours usually last from 8:00 in the morning to 12:00 noon. Contact a guide at Laguna Village to arrange for a tour to Laguna cave.

When I first saw Halloween peeps I knew I had to have them. I was not exactly sure how I was going to use them. They inspired me to create a Spooky Halloween Drink for Bailey and her friends. I had already bought some white chocolate chips and Halloween sprinkles for our pumpkin party. I went to work on crafting the ultimate Spooky Halloween Drink for Kids.
What You Need
The End Result
In less than 15 minutes we had our Spooky Halloween Drinks ready and were a huge hit!!!
Do you have a go to Halloween Drink?
Recipe for our Spooky Halloween Drink
- Chocolate Chips You can use candy melts as well
- Sprinkles
- Halloween Peeps
- Straws
- Favorite Drink
- Skewers
- Melt the chocolates or candy melts according to the instructions. I prefer to use a double boiler. If you are like me and don't own one don't worry they are easy to make. All you need in a pan and a bowl (glass or metal) to go over it. The bowl should not touch the water. It creates a seal with the bottom pan to trap the steam produced by the simmering water. To use the double boiler, add water to the pan and bring it to a simmer, then place the bowl on top and fill it with whatever you intend to cook or melt. I like it best because you can match the chocolate so you don't overheat it.
- Use a metal spoon to stir the chocolates as they melt.
- Once the chocolate is melted dip the rim of the glass into the chocolate.
- Apply the sprinkles to the rim of the glass by placing the rim into a bowl of sprinkles.
- Repeat until you have completed all of the glasses. And then put them into the refrigerator or freezer to harden.
- Take a skewers to make a whole in your marshmallow peep. Then transfer the marshmallow peep onto your straw. You may need to wipe off the top of the straw with a wet paper towel to remove any stickiness.
- Fill your cups with your favorite drink and top with your Spooky Halloween straw and ENJOY!

Kat Crimson
Free Book Giveaways
My Bloody Valentine Kat Crimson
My name is Val - short for Valentina. It's a stupid name. I hate it. My parents named me after the worst 'holiday' of the year. Hands down. I'm sure you can sense the sarcasm in my tone when I say 'holiday.' I mean, everyone knows it's made up. The greeting card industries shacked up with a few loose flower vendors and some tawdry chocolatiers and decided all they had to do was dress it up with some snazzy marketing and the whole thing was going to make them a few bucks. It all makes me sick. I avoid it like the plague - or I would have, if I hadn't run out of cat food. Yes, that's right, I'm a cat lady. Sneer all you want - I would - but it's the reason you're even here, listening to my tale. If I hadn't run out of tender vittles, for my feline companion, I would never have made the ter

The secret version of Tinder only for selected?
One of the most popular dating apps, Tinder, has a special version called Tinder Select. However, this application is not available to all users, but only to selected members.
Dating applications are quite a lot of market, but the most popular is the Tinder, which is most often used not to find a partner with which to create a relationship, but casual sex contacts.
However, it turns out that in addition to Tinder available to all users, also operates its special, secret version. It's called Tinder Select and is for celebrities and people who do not do well in the normal version. This is not a separate application, of course, but a special, secret layer of a dating site available only to people who have been invited.
Persons who are already members of Tinder Select may nominate others to be members. People nominated, no longer have the opportunity to invite others. This is because the number of users does not grow much and the application is still exclusive.

Power company shouldn't cut service on Fridays
In regard to the article in Sunday's paper about the 73-year-old woman found dead of monoxide fumes, I have known several people in the Savannah area who have had their electricity cut off on a Friday. This should not be allowed by our government. The electric company should not be allowed to cut off anyone's power after a Tuesday. I am convinced that when they cut off power on a Friday, it is to further punish a person who is already having difficulty with their finances.
This leaves them the whole weekend that they can do nothing but wait until Monday to get the power turned back on. The power company will not lose that much by waiting until Monday to cut the power, thereby giving the person a weekday to work out a solution.
I know there are people who don't bother to even look at the bill. We should all pray that we are never in this kind of situation. Once a person gets this far in the hole, they usually cannot bare to look at another bill. True, once the power is off, it can be a deadly wake up call.
Please, for the sake of the people of Chatham County, leave the electricity on until Monday. This will give family or friends of the person time to help the person in need.
Do we need another law on the books, or can we just be a decent business doing our citizens justice?

Bloomingdale must rethink canal policy
Over the past 35 years, the Bloomingdale City Council has governed based on the theory of, "Stall long enough, and the critics will go away." Mayor Tipton's administration has certainly embraced this approach in dealing with the canal.
The Feb. 15 council meeting again offered no concrete updates on Chatham County Engineering concerns or the public hearing with the citizens of Bloomingdale as was promised over two and a half months ago. It is becoming evident the canal could become the next Bloomingdale Watergate. For non-residents, Watergate has been ongoing for well over 10 years.
The mayor and council have been asked repeatedly to revisit the Thomas & Hutton canal plan. Their response continues to be that the former Rozier administration approved the plan. That would seem somewhat unlikely since the Thomas & Hutton plan is dated four months after the Rozier administration left office. It is more believable that the former administration authorized Thomas & Hutton to start drafting a plan, and nothing more.
For a city government to approve a drainage plan void of input from Chatham County is also amazing. But, in Bloomingdale, the mayor and council say that is exactly what happened. They didn't consider the county's master plans to improve the Conaway and Hardin canals. They didn't consider the city's existing financial commitments to fund their portion of these county projects. They prefer to dig a new 50-foot plus open canal. An alarming decision since the city doesn't maintain existing canals or ditches.
So, why won't the Bloomingdale city council face the critics of the canal plan? Only the mayor and council can answer that question. They must not believe the critics are here to stay.
Citizens of Bloomingdale, attend the next city council meeting, Thursday, March 1 at 7 p.m. Remember, 984 days and counting until the 2009 elections.
County should let someone else operate pool
My family has been involved with Chatham County Aquatic Center since the day it opened, and I cannot believe the taxpayer's money has been so foolish squandered. The facility is a health hazard due to gross mismanagement. The "good old boy" remains in the form of Champion Corporation, to a tune of $375,000 a year and a lot more. They continue to be in charge of a facility that should be a shining star in the county coffers. Instead, it is a cost over run. Sell it to SCAD and let's have a pool to be proud of, where our swimmers can go without pulmonary health problems. Let some one else run the pool.
Cleeland knows not whereof he speaks
I read Kenneth K. Cleeland's recent letter ("Professor gave misleading generalizations") with the usual enjoyment reserved for this illustrious section. Until it got personal. As a senior political science major at Armstrong Atlantic State University, I have been taught a fair amount on the American political system by most of the faculty in the department and have emerged the same as I entered - a conservative with an open mind.
I have taken seven classes under associate professor William Daugherty. This should over-qualify me as one of the students Mr. Cleeland fears has her mind filled with "half-truths, exaggerations, and full-blown falsehoods," as taught by Dr. Daugherty. Perhaps Mr. Cleeland would like to visit one of these classes and see the seminar atmosphere in which all opinions are welcomed (and shared), and in which the lack of brain-washing is palpable. It is unfounded statements like Mr. Cleeland's that give the institution and professors to whom I credit the ability to form my own conclusions through my own analysis of today's facts a bad name.
Mr. Cleeland: Contrary to your letter, President Bush's policies are often polarizing. And Dr. Daugherty is an asset to Armstrong. MARY SUE WOOD Savannah
Writers should give Savannah theater scene its due
It seems odd that every time I pick up the Savannah Morning News I am reading something negative about the local theatre scene. It is disappointing since every weekend there seems to be something wonderful offered up by our community and college theatres.
Even more perplexing is the rating of one theatre being better than the others. The Savannah Theatre brings mostly joyous up-beat reviews; the Savannah Actor's Theatre, avante garde and thought-provoking pieces; the Cultural Arts Theatre provides a mixed bag of classic musicals, family entertainment and smart adult fare and the Savannah Children's Theatre is bursting with high energy, loving and wholesome theatre experiences for kids and adults alike.
To top it off, we have access to excellent collegiate theatrical departments. The production of SCAD's "A Chorus Line" last spring was professional in quality, filled with talented actors who are working to perfect their craft. Most of these productions' ticket prices are reasonable, usually around $10 or $20. The professional touring companies will charge five times that amount and the setting at Johnny Mercer Theater is not nearly as intimate as at the Lucas, Trustees or Black Box theaters.
I have lived in larger cities, but the Savannah theater scene is worthy of comparison. The quality and variety of offerings will leave one exhausted trying to see every production. On a recent Saturday, there were nine different productions available.
My children and I always enjoy an evening of live theatre and these local groups never seem to disappoint. Live theatre on every level continues to educate us on who we are and where we have been. It is a disservice to the citizens of Savannah that our newspaper continues to belittle the work of these talented local artists. We must support every aspect of the arts in Savannah - be it music, theater or fine arts - or accept responsibility for its demise. Remember the Savannah Symphony?

Here at Construction Law Musings, I've discussed the need to keep up with your safety program and stay out of the cross-hairs of the state and federal safety inspectors.
The Virginia Court of Appeals gave a stark reminder of this fact in the case of Atlantic Environmental Construction Co. v. Malveaux, Comm'r. In this case, Atlantic Environmental had some roofers under their supervision working around a skylight at the Chrysler Museum in Norfolk, VA. Unfortunately, these roofers were not using proper guardrails or fall arrest system and the skylights was not covered when the inspector decided to visit the job site. Needless to say, the VOSHA inspector cited Atlantic Environmental for a "Serious" violation.
Atlantic Environmental appealed the citation arguing that its job site supervisor could not have been aware of the lack of safety equipment and compliance because the supervisor had an exemplary safety and job site supervision record. By making this argument, Atlantic Environmental sought to avoid being cited for the misconduct of its employees and show that it had properly trained and supervised the employees but they acted incorrectly in any event.
Both the Circuit Court and the Court of Appeals rejected this argument. The lower and appeals court both found that Atlantic Environmental was liable for the actions of its employees and that because of having a supervisor there on site while the safety violations occurred, the employee misconduct defense did not apply and that, because the supervisor's knowledge was imputed to Atlantic Environmental:
The circuit court correctly applied respondeat superior principles to this VOSHA enforcement action. The court's unchallenged factual findings fully support its decision to affirm the Virginia Department of Labor and Industry's two citations against AEC for serious violations of the VOSHA standards for fall protection.
In short, as an employer and contractor you need to know that the actions of your employees can be held against you, particularly on a safety issue. Of ourse, having your employees properly trained and consulting with a knowledgeable construction lawyer can and will help you avoid situations like this on your construction site.
As always, I welcome your comments below. Please subscribe to keep up with this and other Construction Law Musings.

LONDON, March 21 (Reuters) - Britain's competition watchdog has closed an investigation into five furniture and carpet retailers, including market-leader Carpetright, after the firms agreed to change pricing practices that it said could deceive consumers.
The Office of Fair Trading (OFT) has taken a tougher stance against retailers to ensure consumers can trust their prices and communications and in August last year ordered the retailers to stop misleading shoppers by artificially ramping up the value of discounts during sales promotions.
The OFT said on Friday five companies, SCS, Carpetright, Dreams, Furniture Village and Harveys/Bensons for Beds had all made changes to their reference pricing practices. A sixth firm, DFS, was cleared in December after making price commitments.
Reference prices are used by retailers to advertise a bargain to shoppers by comparing a lower current price against a higher past price.
The OFT said in August the retailers had artificially inflated reference prices on items to promote discounts that were not genuine, making it seem better value than it was.
"Retailers advertise bargains and discounts by referring to a previous or future higher price. It's a powerful marketing tool which, when used properly, provides a helpful and easy way to demonstrate to shoppers the value of discounts and savings," OFT director Gaucho Rasmussen said.
"We are therefore pleased that these retailers have confirmed their commitment to using genuine prices."
Carpetright, Britain's biggest floor coverings retailer, said in a statement it was pleased the OFT had welcomed its commitment to transparent pricing. (Reporting by Neil Maidment; editing by James Davey)


text: I don't even know if I spelled it right. But I did read about it, I looked up so many medication's I hope I can remember. Seems as if most ADHD medications have "anxiety, agitation" as a side effect. That worries me since that is always present. difficult child and I wanted to address the anxiety first. But that didn't happen cause psychiatrist wouldn't do it. He insists on treating the anxiety with Strattera...But admits (in front of difficult child) that he doesn't think any medication will help him. So, what - he is a lost cause? I am SO angry still. But, difficult child looked on the bright side. He took the adderal and went to school about 10 am today after his appointment. He called at noon to tell me that he definately feels a difference and it is good. After school he stayed to retake a test. He woke me up when he got home to tell me all the work he did today, AND he took 3 tests after school. He seemed in really good spirits. NOW, I do not have experience with this at all. Any medication he has tried was either a bad reaction in a day (concerta / focalin) OR it has been a medication that needed to build up in his system. So my question to all of you is...Would Adderal work that fast? Or is it mind over matter and difficult child knows he took it and that is why he had a good day and did lots of work.? Would it actually do something that fast? And would / SHOULD he feel different? I didn't think he should "feel" different. You wise people, please let me know how this medication works. Even reading it doesn't help me understand.

The African National Congress (ANC) says it is saddened by the death of one of South Africa's legendary musician uMama uBusi Mhlongo.ANC National Spokesperson Jackson Mthembu said, "Her passing on after a long illness is a huge loss to South Africa, particularly the music fraternity. Her passing away has robbed us of a contribution she would have continued to make in the development of music in South Africa.'
"We join many South Africans in paying tribute to this music icon who became a beacon of hope and inspired many artists and individuals in our country and abroad."
Born in a musical family at Inanda in the then Natal, Mama Mhlongo used her talent to inspire social, economic, cultural and political change in the country. As a young star, she was given a small drum and two sticks and encouraged to sing at weddings, in church choirs and at school. She left school to pursue a musical career in Johannesburg and became a member of African Jazz. She then found herself living in Portugal via Mozambique and Angola with the group Conjunto Juan Paulo. She watched audiences applaud songs sung in Angolan languages as well as Portuguese and was invited to sing her own songs.
Mama Mhlongo was a brilliant singer, dancer and composer whose music defies categorisation. Drawing on various South African styles such as mbaqanga, maskanda, marabi and traditional Zulu music, fused at various times with contemporary elements from jazz, funk, rock, gospel, rap, opera, reggae and West African sounds in a fresh and exciting mix.Her infectious music has a universal appeal and so does Mama Mhlongo's singing style & stage presence.
"Her lyrics which are sung in Zulu and English will remain with us for many decades to come and will be part of our country's history and heritage. We were indeed privileged to have known and lived in her lifetime." said Mthembu.
"At this hour of great loss, our thoughts are with her family, friends and fellow musicians. May her soul rest in peace."

Things you need to do!
Dublin Travel Blog› entry 1 of 7 › view all entries
Ireland is amazing, if it isn't on your list of places to go, it needs to be!
Dublin: Go EVERYWHERE!!! St. Patrick's Cathedral, The Guiness Factory....a little commerical but the glass bar and free quiness makes it a must do! The Jameson Factory, we did the tour and then had a full dinner with real irish entertainment, lots of drinks, laughs, good food, and music! Trinity College and the Book of Kells, O'Connell street and the Post Office that played a massive role in the Eater Rising!! There is so much history you'll want to roll around in the streets to try and absorb it all. Lastly, if you're into some spooky fun I highly reccomend booking a seat on the Dublin Ghost Tour Bus!! It was a highly entertaining ride through Dublin learning some sppooookkky history. Getting to walk through a cemetary, learn of grave robbers, and climbing the 40 steps, it's a one night must that'll have you laughing and screaming.
Between Dublin and Cork you could visit the Rock of Cashel and get a glimpse of the Devils bite! Let someone tell the folklore of the Rock of Cashel and Devils bite! They are connected, and it envovles the devil and St. Patrick
Cork Ireland: Not as big as Dublin but there are some cool things to expirence. St. Patrick's street is a wonderful place full of great stores and small side streets with more shopping! There is a jail, the cork gaol, that is open to visit, that is an interactive self guided tour through the haunted halls. You can always catch a local Hurling game at the University Athletic Field. St. Anne's will let you ring her bells for a low fee of 5 euro, which is pretty cool. You could walk along the harbor and shipping docks, or pub hop every night and not go to the same pub. There are also places that are an easy bus/train ride away such as Blarney, Kinsale, Cobh, and Fota wildlife park. Blarney is famous for the Blarney Castle, and that wonderful stone you've got to kiss! Located at the top of the castle it is said to bring you life long eloquense. Not for the height queezy, you've got to lie down and reach out...over a loooong fall....to kiss the stone. A small town, but cute resturants, shops, and after you're done kissing the stone you can walk around the lands of the castles with many different things to expirence, including the witches hut, the sacrifical stone, and secret caves(see how far you can go in! Bring flash lights!) Kinsale is a beautiful harbor town that you could walk through, then take a boat out to the island fort. Cobh is the last place the titanic saw before it sank, a lovely harbor town with cute shops and wonderful museums. Fota is the resident Zoo, where lemers, monkeys and birds, rome free through out the park. You'll never know what'll pop out around each turn.
Soon to come... Killarney, the Clifts of Mohr, and Galway

Recent sting operation by Tehelka exposing the Gujarat government's machinery's involvement in fuelling the riots, as well as the brutal involvement of Hindu fundamentalist groups in executing the same is a sheer shame, disgrace and a clear case of genocide.
Having said that it makes me wonder is it what i just mentioned or is it the clear case of Dictatorship in a Democratic country? Is it the same India which calls itself Secular? Are we the same Indians who call ourselves proudly as Secular and Democaratic?
Strangely I don't know whether people would want to continue to stay in a state where the people can't trust the government, police, and other agencies.
The real shame is that after 4 years of actual riots we get to know about the truth and still the government is in power and no one seems to take any action on it?
So it's like we are secular and democratic country but just for one incident please excuse us ,as it was a public outrage. Wow what a logic which came from the government...
I feel sad about such incidents, the only hope is that there are agencies which are still working to expose such henious crimes. I thought if not anything else I should voice my opinion through this medium.

Low-frequency ultrasound induces oxygen vacancies formation and visible light absorption in TiO2 P-25 nanoparticles
Low-frequency ultrasound (LFUS) irradiation induces morphological, optical and surface changes in the commercial nano-TiO2-based photocatalyst, Evonik-Degussa P-25. Low-temperature electron spin resonance (ESR) measurements performed on this material provided the first experimental evidence for the formation of oxygen vacancies (V-o), which were also found responsible for the visible-light absorption. The V-o surface defects might result from high-speed inter-particle collisions and shock waves generated by LFUS sonication impacting the TiO2 particles. This is in contrast to a number of well-established technologies, where the formation of oxygen vacancies on the TiO2 surface often requires harsh technological conditions and complicated procedures, such as annealing at high temperatures, radio-frequency-induced plasma or ion sputtering.

London (ANI): Russell Brand and Katy Perry are reportedly taking their romance to another level by planning to move in together. The couple was said to be eyeing a 5000-square-foot apartment in the Hollywood Hills, with an open-plan kitchen, hot tub and a dog yard.
"Like a lot of celebrity romances, Russell and Katy have totally dived in at the deep end, but they've completely fallen for each other," the Mirror quoted a friend of Brand as saying.
"Katy's just the girl to keep Russell on his toes and he's completely head over heels for her. He keeps telling us he's never met anyone like her and he knows she's the one for him. He's 34 now and has been playing the field for years now and he's thinking this could be the time to settle down and maybe think about starting a family," the friend added.

College athletes sometimes run afoul of the law under strange circumstances and two members of the Syracuse football team recently fell victim to this phenomenon.
Stephen Bailey of Syracuse.com brings word of the news that freshmen safety Devon Clarke and defensive end Jaquwan Nelson were arrested and charged with both burglary and grand larceny.
The crime was reportedly committed on Dec. 26, 2016 and the players were charged with lifting two pairs of "Yeezy" boots, as well as a PlayStation 4 and a laptop computer. Further specifics are as follows:
"During the investigation, an SPD detective determined that Nelson and Clarke were responsible for entering a South Campus residence at 241 Winding Ridge Road and for stealing the property. The "Yeezy" boots retail for several hundred dollars.
Nelson and Clarke were held at the Onondaga County Justice Center before being released."
This is, of course, mind-blowingly dumb and both players should be disciplined accordingly. At this point, both Clarke and Nelson appear to remain on the Syracuse football team but this type of behavior can't go unnoticed and it will be interesting to see how Dino Babers handles the situation moving forward.
"Yeezy" boots are both popular and expensive but that probably shouldn't serve as a defense when this duo faces criminal action.

There are several things that I can think of that might be the problem.
1 - Do you have a firewall running on your PC?
2 - If you are running XP you may need to enter your XP username/password.
3 - Do you have any shared folders or drives on the PC?
4 - How are you trying to connect? Are you trying to connect through Finder? If so are you typing smb://+PC's ip address?
I hope this helps.
