(Critical Survey of Science Fiction and Fantasy)
Alan Garner's first two novels, The Weirdstone of Brisingamen (1960) and The Moon of Gomrath (1963), dealt unequivocally with the battle between good and evil, embodied in wizards, witches, elves, and svarts. There was no doubt as to which side reader and protagonist alike would be on and no reason to question the assumption that good would triumph. The characters were assigned their roles, which they then carried out to reach a satisfactory and obvious conclusion. For all their darker moments, the two novels frequently took on almost the flavor of pastoral idylls, celebrating the authors love of his childhood home, Alderley Edge.
In Elidor, such comfortable certainties are abandoned. Garner's writing begins its transition toward a darker, more ambiguous view of the eternal conflict. Garner eschews the familiarity of Alderley Edge, choosing instead desolate urban settings and a countryside wasted by a mysterious force, all of them landscapes in transition. The children themselves are on the threshold of adolescence, unlike the younger protagonists of Garner's first two novels. Roland, the youngest, still clings to the childhood the three older children are rejecting. Although they are no longer quite at ease with his childish acceptance of magic, neither can they deny entirely what has happened to them in Elidor, although for much of the story, they refuse to speak of the place.
For much of the novel, although...

Midway Games introduced the world to Mortal Kombat, digital gore, and the video game ratings board. Unsurprisingly, they went on to publish one of the most controversial games of all time in 2005. However, this game wouldn't feature a single fatality or drop of blood.
Did I mention it was a football game?
Midway's Blitz: the League was an unlicensed sports simulation that stuck a middle finger up at the National Football League. Considering the game's torrid history, it's shocking that its creators are surprised anybody wants to talk about it.
"For someone to contact me about Blitz is like, really? For real?" Said Trevor Snowden, who served as development director of third party for the game.
Blitz was born out of necessity when Midway lost the rights to pro football, forcing them to end their successful NFL Blitz series. EA Sports gained exclusivity to the NFL until the end of time. The move stunned everyone, except the Blitz team.
"We anticipated it," Explained Mike Bilder, the current CEO of Jackbox Games, who was executive producer on Blitz. "I'd worked on a game called NFL Blitz Pro, which preceded Blitz: The League. It was the last licensed game we developed. We didn't have a multi-year deal with the NFL. It was on a year to year basis. We expected, and heard that EA was likely to get an exclusive [license]."
Though they were anticipating the breakup, Midway still had a dilemma. How do you make a sports game with no pro athletes, no pro teams, and no approval from the NFL? The answer was surprisingly simple.
"There were things that the team wanted to do with the franchise that the NFL was absolutely against," Snowden explained. "They didn't want any of our cover athletes, who were publicly vocal about the dark side of professional football. So they [the Blitz dev team] took their stories and made a game out of it."
Like Peyton Manning at the line of scrimmage, Midway called an audible.
"The overarching guidelines were: what if we could make the game the NFL would never let us make?" Bilder said.
Gone was the sheen of the NFL shield, replaced with broken bones and steroids. How Blitz differed from Madden was made instantly clear by its tagline: "Do anything to win."
"There was just this idea of, what if Mortal Kombat met football, and we created this prototype," explained Bilder.
To pitch the game, the team created a small demo for the Midway executives. This was their chance to show why this wasn't your typical football game.
"We went down to a skeleton crew and worked for three months to create this vertical slice of what Blitz: The League could be. It was kinda dark, in both tone and visuals. It was this nighttime, rainy, muddy scene. We had a couple teams playing each other, we had personality on the teams as well as having the coaches have personalities, meaning they weren't just animated characters on the sideline," Bilder elaborated. "It actually had a scene where a star player broke his leg in a very graphic display, and the owner came out on the field and put a gun to his head. Basically said, 'we have no need for you anymore.' It was kinda like putting an injured horse down at the racetrack."
The demo was enough to convince executives to go ahead with the game, and the team went to work, including all the injuries and foul language that never made it into Madden.
"We had a lot of fun with the extreme nature of how bad the injuries could be. We really kind of had to draw a line somewhere, because there [were] people in the company who literally couldn't play the game 'cause they got ill every time," Snowden said.
This executive-rattling gameplay was a part of the plan. Unlike Madden, the game took delight in showing the effects a brutal sack had on a quarterback, highlighting injuries with medically cinematic x-rays.
"What the audio guys had to do to make those sound effects was smash meat on walls," Snowden joked. "There were fun stories out of that development. You can't help but think, 'How far can we take it? Can we go killing players?' That was never taken seriously, but it was just like, 'Jesus Christ, this guy has a hole in his lung and his fricken organs aren't working.'"
Another unsportsmanlike feature was the off-the-field edge players were able to give their team. Gamers could "juice" up athletes with something extra, using steroids ranging from what could generously be called "vitamins" to anabolic cocktails bought off the black market. There was something to offend everyone. Snowden made it clear that juicing was key to the game's authenticity.
"The whole thing about juicing, it literally was removing the physical effects and limitations, to continue pushing a person to perform," Snowden recalled. "Look at some of the top guys from ten years ago who were quarterbacks who can't even walk today. They look good. They're wealthy, but they can't even do commercials anymore 'cause they can't walk. Their bodies are so broken."
Needles aside, today's sports games wouldn't be anything without star athletes. Blitz had none, so the developers got creative.
Each team in Blitz featured a team captain, most of whom were not-so-subtle homages to NFL superstars. Examples included the pious free safety Ezekiel Freeman, modeled after Ray Lewis, who quoted bible verses as he broke ankles. The funniest inclusion was pocket-scrambling QB Mike Mexico. The character was a reference to quarterback Michael Vick's alter ego, Ron Mexico—a false name Vick allegedly used while secretly undergoing genital herpes treatment south of the border. Mexico was just one of many in-jokes made at the NFL's expense.
The teams were also so closely modeled after their NFL counterparts that players could recreate their favorite franchise, stars and all. All this world-building was to serve a groundbreaking feature for a sports sim: a story.
"Around this same time there was a show on ESPN called, Playmakers. It was this fictitious NFL league and teams and it kinda portrayed the darker side of professional sports and athletes. It was controversial," Bilder said, "It was showing the locker room politics, the drug abuse, the skirting around drug tests, and deliberate injuries on the field. Things along those lines. The NFL hated it, but it was very well regarded and watched. ESPN was gonna renew it, but it just abruptly got canceled. We interpreted that as the NFL using its muscle to shut down a successful show."
Seeing the opportunity and parallels to their game, Bilder's team recruited the writers of the canceled series.
"We reached out to some of the creatives of that television show. We ended up hiring Peter Egan, who was one of the head writers on the show. And we got him involved with our game. He helped kind of create the story of the game," Bilder told me.
With Egan on the team, a story mode was added. The campaign dealt with the same issues that Playmakers addressed. It followed a last place team as it rose through the ranks of the league. The story was also a way to make the league feel more realistic and fully formed.
The authenticity of the league went beyond the single player campaign though. Anybody who's attended a Raiders game can tell you that football isn't family-friendly. The rabidity of fans was captured in Blitz with each stadium's atmosphere. Crowds had specific chants cued up, and frustrated stadium-goers would boo their own team if they punted on fourth down.
All of these elements made the game unique, but also M(ature)-rated.
"From its inception, everyone knew it was going to be an M rating. I mean, I can say we had discussions saying, 'is it possible?' Those went literally something akin of asking, 'Okay, who wants to go tell the dev team that we wanna try and get a teen rating?'" Chuckled Snowden.
With a hard M rating in tow, the game hit stores, painting a bleak but accurate portrait of life within professional football. So, naturally, it pissed everybody off. The game was banned in Australia for the inclusion of steroids, and Midway quickly realized that the in-game doping was going to be a bigger problem than the torn ACLs.
"There was no way to avoid drug use, which was worse than blood. We had problems with that. The ESRB was like, 'You'll never sell this in Germany. It can only be sold out of porn shops.' Drug use [to the ESRB] is beyond sex and violence," Snowden lamented.
All of this wasn't helped by the wrath of pro football. The final straw was Midway using retired pros Lawrence Taylor and Bill Romanowski as cover athletes. The NFL had something to say about their inclusion, license or not.
"I do know that they didn't appreciate our cover athletes [for the Xbox 360 port]. That was a big dramatic thing. I think there was a small campaign where they sought to discredit them, to protect their image," Snowden remembered.
Despite its out-of-the-box tone and features, Blitz never reached Madden levels of success. Fans still wanted to play with NFL teams. Midway did port the game to the Xbox 360, even giving the franchise a sequel on Xbox 360 and Playstation 3. Its sales failed to match the first's. Backed up against the goal line and out of options, Midway punted. The publisher soon closed its doors, and Blitz hit the showers.
The average sports game has a shelf life of a year, or until the next iteration comes out. Ten years later, Blitz is as relevant as it was at launch. The idea of having a story in sports gaming is becoming common, but Blitz championed the idea. Even its gritty tone has been emulated by other games, including EA's Fight Night Champion, which Snowden also worked on.
Snowden has been in the industry since the days of arcades. It's telling that with all his experience, Blitz is still a touchdown to him.
"I personally would love to play Blitz again, because I'm not even a fan of football and I loved that game. That speaks to the legs it has."
Years later, Blitz remains a digital curiosity with a lasting impact.

~ RAAM Power Inc.~
Welcome to the RAAM Powerhomepage!
RAAM Power, Inc. (herein referred to as the "Company"), dedicates itself to the efficient
production, use and conservation of renewable energy sources. To accomplish this goal,
the Company will identify and implement new technologies for energy that will take full
advantage of available resources, proximity to established power grids, and the availability
of low or non-polluting energy sources. The Company is focused on the resources of wind
and solar to create electric power. The Company specifically is focusing on the current
issues of global warming and environmental concerns associated with this trend.
Through proper management and sound business practices, the Company intends to
establish and maintain long-term client relationships, which have been founded on the
highest standards of integrity. The Company will also provide the highest levels of service at
the lowest possible cost.
Purpose and Objective
The Company will dedicate itself to the efficient production and conservation of renewable
energy sources (electricity) by utilizing and implementing the new technology with wind and
solar which will benefit the general population. We will improve the existing power
generation problems by tracking trends worldwide so our objectives can be achieved. One
of the Company's objectives is research into the transmission grid obstacles.
The Company will also educate larger companies with energy saving solutions that will
lower their utility production costs while forcing them to become environmentally
responsible. Finally, the Company will purchase new and approved land parcels for power
generation, sell state of the art complete turn key power generation packages to all sizes of
energy companies and municipalities and take advantage wherever possible, of the use of
new technology and efficient power lines in grids where they are needed most.
Executive Summary
The Company was organized to identify and implement new and non-polluting energy
sources as an alternative source of creating electricity, instead of using what is available
and used today. The Company has conducted extensive preliminary market research
regarding current problematic trends, grid capacity factors, escalating prices and
diminished supply options contributing to the short and long term power supply crisis in the
United States and elsewhere. As a result of this research, the Company has identified new
and improved ways of producing electricity, specifically targeting environmentally sound
power generation, by using unwanted by-products used to produce methane, and also
implementing the resources of wind and solar generation, while taking advantage of energy
conservation and decreased costs of production and usage.
The Company has identified numerous alternative sources to create the energy needed to
convert to power generation. Of the energy sources researched, the Company has decided
to focus its efforts on wind and solar power.

Abbott Tech has new school uniforms
Published 11:13 pm, Tuesday, September 14, 2010
DANBURY -- Lady Gaga was draped in raw beef stitched together Sunday night for part of the MTV Video Music Awards ceremony, where she won eight awards for her music. Maybe it's no wonder students struggle to dress appropriately for school.
Abbott Technical High School has solved that problem for its 660 students with uniforms.
Although there was an informal uniform for students the weeks they were in shop class, they now have an academic uniform, too.
Khaki or black pants and blue, white or black polo shirts with the school logo dot the hallways these days, although a few students are still catching up to the new dress code.
"They're all right, 16-year-old Dakota Daab of Danbury said Tuesday about the uniforms. "They're comfortable, and it makes it an easy time in the morning,"
He bought three pair of khakis and three black polo shirts, the same colors he would have worn anyway, he said.
Caren Linster was against the idea of uniforms at first, but she's been won over.
"I wanted to wear my own clothes," the 16-year-old junior from Danbury said, but now she feels differently. "It takes less time in the morning. It's just easier, and I don't have to question if I'll break the school rule by wearing them.''
The U.S. Department of Education reports that the percentage of public schools that require uniforms has risen from 3 to 18 percent since 1996.
While many parochial schools have uniforms for their students and some state charter schools require them, a number of public schools in the state have also begun to require uniforms, including those in Norwich and Bridgeport.
Other districts, like Waterbury, New Britain and New Haven, have specific dress codes that provide some uniformity in student attire.
Abbott Tech is one of the state's 18 technical high schools and is among the last to get on board with the uniforms state officials recommended four to five years ago.
The plan was for each school to decide when to require uniforms and incorporate them into the school culture, said Thomas Murphy, state education department spokesman.
In part the uniforms are intended to set a professional tone in the school, but they are also to reduce issues related to gang colors, improve modesty, and reduce competitiveness around clothes.
"It eliminates the problem of enforcing dress codes, and makes it less of an issue about what a student wears to school, especially within a population of students with different incomes," Murphy said.
Abbott Tech Principal Jerry Salese, who took his job five years ago, said initially having uniforms was a recommendation, not a mandate, and he wasn't ready before now.
"I wanted to discuss it with the kids. We didn't have major issues, and I was reluctant initially to make changes just for the sake of change," Salese said.
But about a year and a half ago, he observed, "too many students were coming to school inappropriately dressed. We were spending too much time on (dress code) enforcement, and it was time to make a change."
The students have been wearing uniforms in their shops for years, usually T-shirts with the shop logo and work pants, so the new policy just adds academic uniforms.
"It's part of our mission as a technical school to prepare students for a trade, and part of that is being professionally dressed,'' Salese said.
He's found parents and students generally cooperative, and he doesn't expect a problem with compliance. He'll give students another week to make sure they received their orders and that those who've had trouble paying for uniforms have gotten help from the school.
Twenty-year teacher Bill Clark, who teaches heating, air conditioning, ventilation and air conditioning, likes the uniforms.
"They look good. They look really good,'' he said. "It's a positive thing for the school."
Sixteen-year-old junior Aijah Threats has khaki and black pants and black, white and blue polo shirts hanging in her closet now.
"I didn't like it first, because I like having my own style. I didn't want to look like other people,'' she said. Now she wears headbands and watches to differentiate herself from her peers.
"It's OK," she said. "I don't have to worry about picking out clothes."

Trunk Bay Jun 27, 2011
Let me say this is by far the cleanest, most serene place I have ever been. The water was so crystal clear and blue. I could see straight down to my toes. The sand was very fine and the waves were super calm. It actually felt like being in a giant tropical bathtub. The island was preserved by Rockeffeller and stated that if taken over the land on the island must be at least 75% preserved land, but that they could do as they wished with St. Thomas, hence more attractions on that island. The people are friendly and a great place to spend some alone time with that special someone. I give it a 5 star +!

Trunk Bay is perhaps St. John's most popular beach and as soon as you set your eyes on it, you'll understand why. The beaches fine white sand is boredered by magnificent palm trees. In order to access the beach there is a small fee but it is more than worth it. Voted the most beautiful beach in the world, Trunk Bay is an excellent location for snorkling. Have no worries about leaving your possessions on one of the many beach chairs while you take advantage of the underwater "trail". The "trail" as it is called, is located just a short swim from shore. Under the surface of the water there are plaques listing and describing the many fish and coral indiginous to the area. There are life guards paddling nearby in case you in need of assistance.
The beach also boasts a snack bar, showers and shaded areas for those who would prefer to sit out of the sun. I highly recommend this beach, it is phenominal!

Commuter indiscipline swells Delhi Metro coffersAugust 26th, 2011 - 6:33 pm ICT by IANS
New Delhi, Aug 26 (IANS) Commuter indiscipline has added around Rs 34 lakhs (Rs. 3.4 million) to the coffers of Delhi Metro in the last three years. Thousands have paid penalties for offences such as spitting, creating nuisance, drunkenness, squatting, defacing Metro property and quarrelling.
The most glaring offenders, however, are men who travel in compartments reserved for women. The designation "ladies only" came into force last October.
"From October 2 last year till July this year, 3,642 males have been punished for entering coaches reserved for women and penalties totalling Rs. 910,500 generated," a Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) official said.
At least 19,325 passengers have been fined for committing offences in the premises of DMRC and a fine of Rs.3,442,700 has been collected in the last two and a half years, according to the official.
So far 6,444 commuters have been penalised for spitting, 2,211 for defacing metro property, 1,542 for creating nuisance and 955 for drunkenness.
As many as 368 people have been booked for obstructing the duty of officials, 263 fined for travelling beyond the authorised distance and 481 for sitting on the train floor, according to DMRC.
For most of the offences, the penalty is Rs. 200 per offence. But it goes up to Rs. 250 for unauthorised travel in coaches reserved for women and Rs. 500 for obstructing officials on duty and interfering with means of communication.
"Despite our constant vigil, such incidents take place regularly, particularly during festival times," a DMRC guard at Rajiv Chowk said. "We slap offenders with a fine of Rs.200 to Rs 500 for various offences, but still it continues."
According to the Delhi Metro official, a slew of measures is been taken to have commuters behave courteously, but they are unable to control adequately offences like spitting and defacing Metro property.
"Though Delhiites have earned a (dubious) distinction of being discourteous, especially when they use public transport, a lot of effort is put in by Metro officials," the official said. However, he expressed pleasure over the overall cleanliness of stations and trains.
Commuter Piya Koel is critical of the pushing and shoving to get in first. "On Raksha Bandhan day, when the train reached Kashmere Gate station, a middle-aged woman pushed me," she said. "In the hustle, I dropped my mobile phone and never got it back."
Earlier, in an interview to IANS, DMRC Managing Director E. Sreedharan had said that it took a lot of effort to achieve the desired results.
"Even if you slacken a little bit, it (cleanliness) will go down," he said. "We don't allow that to happen. I do surprise visits and take disciplinary action."
Delhi Metro officials say that flying squads conduct surprise checks almost every day to catch errant commuters. "These initiatives are for the convenience of travellers, but they can be successful only with people's cooperation," a DMRC official said.
The Metro makes over 2,400 trips per day, traversing about 69,000 km and carrying around 1.7 million passengers on working days.
With Phase-III of the Metro project aiming to cover about 118 km and include Faridabad, the network will be 308 km-long by 2016 and is expected to carry about four million passengers.

Release Notes: This fixes a number of bugs (a segfault in open, a catch bug, pnm functions, codger support for unsigned types in structs, and a roll error with float arrays). This release also adds pnm 16bit raw input and output, hash tables of up to 2e8 entries (useful for big structures with pointers stored to PDB files), refined behaviour of set_path (queries and partial changes of the path are now possible).
Release Notes: This is a fix of the previous release in which the readline bindings were accidentally removed.
Release Notes: This new release contains numerous bugfixes (array building operator [] involving long complexes, codger using structured parameters, minor bugs detected with valgrind, code cleanup for warning suppression), support for latin-1 encoding in EPS graph output, and better path handling for shared libraries. Upgrading is recommended.
Release Notes: yorick now unloads shared libraries whose objects (compiled functions and variables) are no longer accessible. yorick can now reload a shared library. It first cleans up the older version. The whole process is fairly safe, whatever the changes may be between two different versions of the same shared library. This allows you to test updated library versions during their development without having to restart a new session. Some bugfixes were made in the building process and the yorick-mb package.
Release Notes: This release fixes a bug in the sort algorithm, and introduces a new directory structure to store shared library modules. As an example of such a module, a JPEG extension is also available for download from SourceForge.

sSB 394 (File 338, as amended by Senate "A")*
By law, Medicaid long-term care applicants who transfer assets for less than fair market value within five years of applying for coverage are presumed to have made the transfer to qualify for Medicaid. People who cannot successfully rebut this presumption face a Medicaid ineligibility period (penalty period) based on the uncompensated value of that asset. The value of the transferred asset is considered a debt owed to the Department of Social Services (DSS).
This bill creates a second debt that is owed to a nursing home that continues to serve such individuals without payment during the period of Medicaid ineligibility. It also creates a process for collecting the debt.
The bill allows nursing homes to bring civil actions against the person transferring the asset (transferor), the person receiving it (transferee), or anyone else who knew that the asset was transferred to qualify for Medicaid. The bill also authorizes a nursing home to bring a civil action to recover any unpaid applied income that it is owed.
To the extent federal law allows such, the bill provides that a person cannot be determined ineligible for Medicaid based solely on having a life insurance policy with a cash value under $ 10,000. The program's asset limit, which is established in state regulation, is $ 1,600 for a single person. Currently, DSS disregards towards that limit the first $ 1,500 of cash value in a life insurance policy the Medicaid applicant owns.
The bill also makes a technical change.
*Senate Amendment "A" replaces the underlying bill, which (1) defined a "disqualifying asset," (2) allowed for debt collection using a private collection agency, and (3) permitted DSS to provide financial relief to a nursing home that served a resident without payment and made such payments debts owed to DSS.
EFFECTIVE DATE: October 1, 2012
Creation of a Debt to a Nursing Home
By law, if a Medicaid applicant or recipient transfers or assigns assets that result in a penalty period, this action also creates a debt to DSS. The amount of the debt equals the amount of medical assistance provided to or on behalf of the transferor on or after the date the assets are transferred. (Apparently, the term "medical assistance" has been interpreted to mean Medicaid, but Medicaid would not be provided during a penalty period. Therefore, DSS in practice does not accumulate a debt. )
The bill creates a second debt owed to a nursing home equal to the unpaid cost of care the facility provides to the transferor during a penalty period.
By law, the amount of the debt cannot exceed the asset's fair market value when it is transferred. The bill specifies that the debt amount applies only to transferred assets that are the subject of the penalty period.
By law, the DSS commissioner, administrative services commissioner, and the attorney general have the power or authority to seek administrative, legal, or equitable relief as provided by other laws or by common law. The bill specifies that this relief is obtaining payment of the debt.
The bill provides that if the commissioner (presumably the DSS commissioner) determines that assets were willfully transferred for the purpose of obtaining or maintaining Medicaid eligibility, he may assess a monetary penalty up to double the amount of debt against the transferor and any transferee who knew of the transfer's purpose. The commissioner must (1) take into account any payment made toward the debt when assessing the penalty and (2) have sufficient evidence to prove the transfer was willful and for purposes of obtaining or maintaining Medicaid eligibility.
Debt Collection
The bill directs the commissioner, by January 1, 2013, to issue a request for information for debt collection services to collect money owed to nursing homes for these debts. Any money collected must be paid directly to the nursing home after adjusting for administrative costs and other costs associated with pursuing the debt.
Asset Transfers Made to Qualify for Medicaid
The bill authorizes a nursing home that has provided services to a transferor during a penalty period (during which there would be no Medicaid payment) to bring an action to collect a debt for any unreimbursed care it provides. It may bring this action only against someone who knew that the transfer was made to obtain or maintain Medicaid eligibility, including (1) the transferor (2) any person authorized under law to control the transferor's income (e. g. , conservator), and (3) the transferee. (State law already allows for a civil remedy to collect on a debt but it is not specific to nursing homes. )
If a court determines, based on a fair preponderance of the evidence, that a defendant incurred a debt to a nursing home by (1) willfully transferring a nursing home resident's assets to enable the resident to qualify for or continue to receive Medicaid, (2) receiving the assets knowing of this purpose, or (3) making a material misrepresentation or omission concerning these assets, it must award the home double the amount of actual damages. Any court, including a probate court, may also order these assets or proceeds to be held in constructive trust to satisfy the debt.
Failure to Pay Applied Income
The bill also authorizes a nursing home to bring a civil action to recover any unpaid applied income it is owed by a Medicaid recipient. Applied income is defined as the amount of a Medicaid recipient's income that (1) DSS deems is required to be paid to a health care provider to cover the cost of care and services and (2) takes into consideration modification to it due to changes in a community spouse's minimum monthly needs allowance (see BACKGROUND). The bill provides that the civil action is in addition to any other remedy the law authorizes to recover the debt.
A court must award a home double damages if it determines, by a preponderance of the evidence, that a defendant willfully failed to pay or withheld applied income that was due and owing and the payment is more than 90 days overdue.
The bill requires nursing homes to provide written notice to Medicaid recipients that failure to pay within this time frame will result in the above award remedy. It prohibits a home from filing suit until 30 days after it provides this notice to both the recipient and any person authorized by law to control the recipient's applied income. The home is permitted to provide this notice at any time it begins providing services to the Medicaid recipient.
Applied Income of Nursing Home Residents and Minimum Monthly Needs Allowance for Community Spouse
Medicaid-covered nursing home residents generally must turn over any monthly income they receive (e. g. , Social Security) to the home (minus a monthly personal needs allowance) and the Medicaid program pays the home the difference between the "applied income" and the daily rate DSS sets for the home.
The amount of applied income takes into account whether the nursing home resident has a spouse in the community. Under federal Medicaid rules, these spouses are entitled to receive a portion of the resident's income, which is called the minimum monthly needs allowance (42 USC § 1396r-5(d)(3)).

A character changes as a result of the novel's events like behavior, appearance, personality. How did Junior change from beginning, middle, and end?
- print Print
- list Cite
Over the course of the novel, Junior matures and begins to realize that he must overcome obstacles to achieve his dreams. At the beginning of the novel, Junior introduces himself to the reader as an awkward teenager who is trapped in his life on the Spokane Indian Reservation. After witnessing elements of life that hold back other Indians on the reservation (i.e. alcoholism, domestic abuse, poverty), Junior changes and decides that he wants his life to be different. He is angry that the education on the reservation is not up to standard, so he decides to attend Reardan. This decision, however, isolates Junior from others, especially Rowdy, who see him as wanting to be "better than" the others around him. After his early days at Reardan, Junior questions whether or not he has made the right decision. By the end of the novel, Junior has matured and has resolved to continue pursuing his dreams. He has also learned the meaning of friendship and family, and even though he has lost important members of his family such as his grandmother and Mary, he reconnects with Rowdy.

Konami has been unusually quiet about its latest N64 installment in the famous (and excellent) International Superstar Soccer series. All our attempts to get our hands on this title for the past months have failed -- until now. International Superstar Soccer 2000, the third ISS title to be released in the US is now available at select rental stores.
We've only been able to get to play the game for a few minutes, but it's already evident that Konami has added a lots of new teams and some additional features. Sadly, the new 640x480 hi-res option (which is only available if you have a RAM Expansion) is sub-par, as the game slows down to a crawl.
The low-res mode is of course as smooth as always -- as you will no doubt see for yourself if you click on the movies below.
We'll have more on this game soon, in the meantime, enjoy the movies.

"It wouldn't be Christmas without a rich, dark fruit cake, covered with a thick layer or marzipan and iced with festive decorations. This is the perfect opportunity to let your imagination run wild and create a stunning masterpiece to show off your skills. With all the wonderful Christmas shape cutters available, it may not be as tricky as you think."
Hopefully, you will have made your fruit cake a while ago and left it to mature, feeding it with a little alcohol each week. If you haven't, don't panic, there are many recipes out there that will produce a great last minute cake. You will need to decorate your cake a few days before Christmas to give the layers time to dry so make sure you plan ahead.
Firstly, level your cake and fill any holes with small pieces of marzipan, pushing them in with your fingers to plug the gaps. Warm some apricot jam or apricot glaze and brush it all over the cake – a silicone pastry brush is useful, or just use the back of a teaspoon. If your apricot jam contains pieces of fruit it is best to sieve it before brushing it onto the cake.
If you are covering a fruit cake, as a general rule of thumb you can weigh your cake then use half that weight in marzipan to cover it. As a rough guide, you will need approximately 750g of marzipan to cover a 7 inch cake and about 1kg of marzipan to cover an 8 inch cake. Knead the marzipan until it is soft and pliable then roll out on a work surface lightly dusted with icing sugar until it is approximately 7mm (1/4 inch) thick. Drape over the cake and use your hands to press the marzipan onto the cake, as you would when covering a cake with sugar paste. Leave the marzipan to dry out for 24 hours.
Now you are ready to cover the cake with sugar paste or royal icing. If you are using sugar paste, brush the cake with clear alcohol, such as gin or vodka, before covering. If you are using royal icing you won't need to do this.

Now things get a little harder but here is what I recognized. On the bottom and the top we have a lot of a-b type patterns, so let's factor out an a-b on both the top and the bottom. so we have: (a-b)(x+1) ------------- (a-b)(x^2 + 3x + 2) See if you can work it from there. -Doctor Ethan, The Geometry Forum

A.J.'s Heavenly Pizza
131 N. Sandusky Avenue, Upper Sandusky, OH, USA
A.J.'s Heavenly Pizza Upper Sandusky Reviews
48 reviews
Family Owned Pizza Shop May 08, 2008
How to describe A.J.'s Heavenly Pizza? HEAVENLY, of course! This is a family owned and operated pizza shop featuring some of the best pizza in town! Theresa and Dean Distel are the shop's owners and the nicest people around. They are assisted by two of their children.
Need a pizza for a large group? AJ's is known as "The Home of the Jumbo." This pizza is huge and can serve several people. There are also 10", 12", 14", and 18" sizes with all the usual toppings. Also on the menu are pasta dishes (spaghetti and lasagna), subs (served hot on fresh homemade buns), salads, foldovers, appetizers (wings, poppers, breadsticks, mozzarella sticks), and dessrts (cinnamon sticks and brownies). Pepsi products are served for your drink choices.
AJ's offers delivery service or eat in facilities. The specials are really a good deal. Lunch specials are popular for downtown workers - for $4.75 you get a 6" sub or small salad, brownie, and a can of pop, or spaghetti or lasagna, brownie and pop for $5.75.
I love their small chef salads with their homemade salad dressing! I always order the small and can't eat it all! Fresh cut lettuce, diced tomatoes, shredded carrots, sliced boiled egg, minced onions, cheese, and thin sliced ham topped with their own secret salad dressing is a favorite at our house. My place of work always orders the cheesy breadsticks every Friday for a mid afternoon snack.
I would recommend A.J.'s Heavenly Pizza to all coming through Upper Sandusky. Be sure to say Hi to Theresa and Dean, and let them know the shop comes highly recommended!

text: Dear MsNetsirk, I read about your concerns, and tend to agree with all of your respondants, especially Dr. Brunner; however, please to not forget the importance of a well-rounded, liberal education. I know that you must feel somewhat innundated with all the advice, but remember this above all: undergraduate education is for one to gain an appreciation and understanding in a broad range of disciplines. I appreciate the fact that there are younger students out "there" who wish do enter into these fields; I know that i enjoy them. Please give thought to the possibility of pursuing your post graduate/professional training at the medical or veterinary level. There are many institutions that support dual degree programs; for instance, I am pursuing both a degree in veterinary medicine, as well as a Masters degree in immunology. From my experience, there is no subsitute for the medical/veterinary background in training to be an immunologist (or molecular scientist in general) in the scientific future. You are young now, so just concentrate on having fun (before it is too late), but remember this advice later; it will open op doors you never can imagine right now. Good luck :) Marty Gilmore Diagnostic Medicine and Pathobiology College of Veterinary Medicine Kansas State University Mdg11773 at aol.com or martyg at ksu.ksu.edu

Remains Of Third Paris Attacker Identified
French Prime Minister Manuel Valls says police have identified the third gunman involved in the deadly November 13 terrorist attack on the Bataclan concert hall in Paris -- a French-born national from the city of Strasbourg.
The attacker, 23-year-old Foued Mohammad-Aggad, blew himself up with an explosives-packed suicide belt during the attack and was identified because his mother helped the authorities identify his remains.
His father, Said Mohammad-Aggad, told AFP on December 9 that he "would have killed him" if he had known what his son had been planning.
The father said he had not seen his son since he travelled to war-torn Syria with his brother Karim and a group of friends from Strasbourg at the end of 2013.
The family feared his son had been involved in the attacks when they received a text message from Syria saying he had died as "a martyr" along with "his brothers on November 13."
Two other attackers who killed 90 people at the Bataclan during a rock concert -- 29-year-old Omar Ismail Mostefai and 28-year-old former Paris bus driver Samy Amimour -- had also traveled to Syria.

I went to the feed store Saturday and purchased the same amount of feed that I get every week. It cost me $20 more than it did last week. DAMN. Next week, it
may will be even higher. I didn't get anything fancy. I got the least expensive (poorest quality, unfortunately) laying pellets, corn, and scratch feed. "So what?" you may say. "What does some rural woman complaining about feed costs for her methane-producing, Gaia-destroying livestock mean to me?"
Well, anything that has to be transported, from building materials to carrots, is going to become way more expensive when fuel prices jump. *sigh* Anything that requires grain inputs to be transported in and then transported to market (eggs, milk, meat, etc.) is going to be more expensive when it hits the grocery store first from increased price inputs at the farm and then again from transportation costs to the processing facility and then to market.
It isn't too late to put in a garden. If you have room, I'd advise it. If you don't have room, maybe you have a friend or elderly neighbor that could use help in theirs in exchange for some fresh produce.
Don't be intimidated by all the gardening ads you see in magazines and television. You don't need a plow. You don't even need a rototiller. You can be really low tech and just use a shovel. Hell, you can use the Ruth Stout permanent mulch method (which my grandmother used until the week she died) and just layer a straw or leaf mulch on the ground and plant through it. When weeds start coming up, put on another layer of mulch. You can container garden. You can raised bed garden. You can hydroponic garden! There are a lot of creative gardens out there if you just Google it. You can freeze, can, or dehydrate your excess, if any, for storage, or donate them to a family that needs help if you prefer.
The folks on fixed and low incomes are really hurting, y'all. There are people out there right now that are having to decide between food, shelter, transportation costs, and medicine, deciding which one(s) they can no longer afford. Some of them may be in your family and too proud to mention it.

Official: Inmates riot again at West Texas prison
Published 6:00 pm, Friday, January 30, 2009
Associated Press
PECOS - Authorities say more than 1,000 inmates are involved in the second prison riot in the past month at the privately run Reeves County Detention Center in West Texas.
Texas Department of Public Safety spokeswoman Tela Mange says the disturbance Saturday night was in the prison yard. She said DPS troopers from the Pecos area were responding to the scene.
Mange said she had no information on when the riot began or whether there were injuries. A spokeswoman for the Reeves County Sheriff's Department said he had no information about the riot.
In December, rioting inmates at the federal prison facility about 430 miles west of Dallas sought better medical treatment. Officials said there were minor injuries.
The GEO Group, based in Boca Raton, Fla., runs the prison.

Besides Christmas, the biggest holiday celebrated by Christians all over the world is Easter which they belief marks the resurrection of Christ after his crucifixion. With Easter, another tradition is associated and that is of hunting down hidden Easter eggs. Often parents and churches organize these hunts for the neighborhood children.
However, many people wonder why do we hide Easter eggs. In order to understand this, we first have to look at the Easter bunny. Without this bunny, it would not be possible for us to enjoy Easter eggs or Easter egg hunts.
The Anglo Saxons considered the rabbit to be an animal associated with the goddess of fertility, Ostara. Also, rabbits are connected with fertility due to their prolific rate of procreation. It is believed that the legend of the Easter bunny began in Germany where children believed that each Easter the egg laying hare would come and lay its eggs. They called this hare Osterhase. Children would build a nest for this hare so that it could come and lay its eggs in the nest.
However, this belief that the rabbit laid eggs may have originated from the Romans, who believed that all life on earth began from eggs. Another connection between eggs and rabbits is the pagan belief where rabbits were related to the moon and the eggs to the sun. And, during the spring equinox the days and nights are of equal lengths and this allows the rabbit and the egg to come together.
The tradition of Easter egg hunt started in the 1700s in Pennsylvania when the Germans migrated to the New World. They brought with them their belief about the egg laying rabbit. However, soon this tradition spread across the country and parents were hiding eggs for children to find. As time went by, the traditional hard boiled eggs turned into eggs made out of chocolates and thus, began the practice of hiding Easter eggs.

How to grow a perfect Playoff Beardby Lonnie Herman / Tampa Bay Lightning
Some Dos and Don'ts for the Perfect Playoff Experience
1 – Start Right Now: The Lightning have started the Stanley Cup Playoffs. What are you waiting for? Do you think that getting all scruffy looking is going to be a snap? Get to work!
2 – No Maintenance Required: You're not supposed to be trimming and shaping this one. No special tools or implements (especially those purchased via an infomercial on late-night TV) are to be applied. To be official and effective, let it grow wild!
3 – Your Kids and Dogs Will Be Frightened: No getting around it, if you do this right, everyone on the block will be scared of you. You may find yourself getting pulled over by law enforcement more often. Live with it. No copping out. This is a show of unity – it's not supposed to be a walk in the park.
4 – Don't Walk In the Park: The sight of you and that unruly growth might stop a soccer game in its tracks. Lucky for you, hunting season is closed.
5 – Chances Are You Will Itch: This isn't pleasant. First, make sure you don't have a rash. Once you're clear on that count, clean your beard with a mild baby shampoo. Lather the shampoo and rinse completely. Then apply a smooth conditioner onto your beard and rinse off with warm water. Do this as needed – usually about 14 times a day and several times in the middle of the night. Take heart! Don't give up! The itching generally stops around the 2nd week and by then the Lightning will have advanced to the next playoff round.
6- A Special Event is No Excuse to Shave: Let's face it, the deeper the Lightning go into the playoffs the more pressure you will be faced with to clean up. There are special events like anniversaries, parties and funerals and such at which your attendance will be mandatory. By all means attend, but bring your playoff beard along. It's not your fault. Good planning would have prevented any of these events from conflicting with the playoffs.
7- An Alternative - If growing a beard proves impossible due to a youthful countenance, you may grow a mullet instead. It worked for Patrick Kane of the Blackhawks last season.
8 – All Good Things Come To an End – Should the Lightning be eliminated at any point (Ouch!), get that beard scrapped off your face within minutes of the conclusion of the game. Hopefully, your beard is long and intertwined by this point and removing it will be extremely discomforting. Good. You should suffer. We'll all suffer.
9 – The Stanley Cup – Once the Lightning has won the Cup, you must keep the beard until the conclusion of the victory parade. After that, as soon as you sober up, go shave.

Pros: Low calorie, has vitamins, better than a lot of other beverages.
Cons: Expensive, not as good for you as water, sucralose has ties to liver damage.
Propel Fitness Water is produced by the fine folks who make Gatorade. Not a competitor to energy drinks, it's Gatorade's foray into the bottled water market. The line is easily blurred as Propel is touted as "Fitness Water" - Containing some vitamins and minerals and having very few calories.
Propel currently comes in 500ml or 700ml bottles, and it is also available in powdered form. Single servings up to cases of the stuff can be had if you are looking to order it, though in the store you will must likely encounter six-packs. There are presently 13 flavors, ranging from Kiwi-Strawberry and Lemon to Black Cherry and Grape.
The drinks are generally expensive ($3-$4 for a 6 pack is common), in fact usually more expensive than Gatorade itself. So the questions one has to ask when considering Propel are - How good does it taste, and is it actually good for me?
As far as taste goes, I've not tried all 13 flavors, but I have had about a half dozen of them. I do prefer some to others, Berry probably being my favorite, but I find all the flavors to be pleasant enough. The drink is lightly sweetened, so you don't get bowled over by a sugary taste. Lemon is probably my least favorite.
The health question is generally a bigger one. Most everyone agrees that the drink does have some vitamins, and is low in calories (About 25 per 500ml bottle). However, the vitamins found in the beverage are ones easily found in general - inlcuding C, E, b6 and b12. The water also contains sucralose, a sugar substitute which has some possible connection to liver damage in some. Some people also say the small amount of sodium found in the beverage actually makes people feel more thirsty, as well as retaining some water to make them feel lethargic and bloated. There are also small amounts of sugar and carbs in the beverages.
After doing heavy research, the general consensus is that Propel is too expensive with too little benefit. Most people are much better off drinking plain water - and getting the vitamins from food or multivitamin sources. If you do get a little bored of the taste of regular water, occasional propel is a nice change of pace, but it's nothing that should be consumed regularly or during a workout.
If you're currently addicted to diet sodas or worse beverages, then propel may be a nice step toward going to plain 'ol water. It is however, not a substitue for the original.

'Credible lead' shifts search area for missing Malaysian jet
PERTH, AUSTRALIA – The search zone for the Malaysian airliner that crashed in the Indian Ocean nearly three weeks ago has shifted 680 miles to the northeast after new analysis of radar data suggested the plane flew faster than thought and used more fuel, which may have reduced the distance it traveled, Australia said Friday.
The revised search area comes as the weather cleared enough Friday to allow planes to hunt for fresh clues to the fate of the plane carrying 239 people that went missing March 8.
The Australian Maritime Safety Authority said the change was based on new analysis provided by the international investigative team in Malaysia.
"This is a credible new lead and will be thoroughly investigated today," Australian Prime Minister Tony Abbott said Friday.

Seriously are you kidding me ?! speechless
This mod will evolve your Max Payne 2 experience to a whole new level, one step closer to its successor Max Payne 3. With new models, weapons, animations, graphic effects, sounds, particles, and so on this mod will improve your good old Max Payne 2 to make it shine again in the next generation gaming.
Seriously are you kidding me ?! speechless
The only problem with this picture that i see is that on the top slot, there is two desert eagles instead of a revolver and a desert eagle. But other than that, VERY VERY good job. I am hoping to see more.
Exactly, sadly there's no way to modify the mp2 rngine so it really combines the two current handguns, it wasn't even made for limited invenctory, so the only way I found to get close to the mp3 inventory was this compromise.
Couldnt you make a custom symbol for the guns?
What you mean by "custom symbol"? What you see is almost exactly what you have in Max Payne 3 (the icons are straight from the third game for example), comparing with MP3 inventory I don't see the need of adding custom graphics to mine, looks as close as possible.
will you add more violence? :> and bullet wounds(if that is possible)
Oh god if only bullet wounds would be possible I would make the most violent mod ever for MP2, sadly the engine simply doesn't allow dynamic wounds on models, neither 2d decals nor 3d wounds, no matter how hard you try, it's simply not possible in the MP2 engine so sadly about this thing it's a big (sad) no. :(
More violence is already here though, the bullethits blood particles are a lot more gruesome, bloodpools with bloody footsteps will soon fill the combat zone, and moreover there are things that I've still to show like the close range executions, so this is a Yes there will be more violence. :)
I think there's a way to get bullet wounds on enemies...
In the projectile text file (for example BulletBeretta_Player), there's a block which is named CharacterHit. You could get this section to create a, for example, character_hit decal. After that only thing you have to do is go to the decals file and add the character_hit decal, or maybe just edit it and remove NoDecalMaterial for characters on bullethit_generic.
Anyway, I've never tried this so not really sure if it'll work. Just an idea.
Nope it doesn't work, I would have already done it if it would have been so simple, sadly the engine seems to ignore the characters when it's time to apply the decals, so you can do everything you said end even more, but the engine will still show nothing on the enemies.
Also keep in mind that MP2 is from 2003, a shitload of extremely talented people modded it, and still noone succeded at adding dynamic body wounds, so it's definately something locked from the source code of the engine, something that is impossible to modify.
Sad thing it doesn't work.
Waiting for this mod to come out, jesus do I love Payne Effects.
I don't mean to sound rude, but if decal effects on enemies is impossible, how did you do the throat cut effect in Payne Effects 3? I remember seeing a mark where the knife hit once they were done doing their dramatic death animation.
The knife cut is not a dynamic decal, the 3d model of the cut is coded to appear on the neck bone in the knife death animation, there's nothing "dynamic" in it, it's spawned by the animation and it's always in the same place everytime, so it's not a viable way to have bulletwounds, becouse can't be coded to appear by a bullethit and can't be placed where it hits.
You CAN apply scripted non-dynamic decals on enemies, but at best you can have some bulletholes that appears everytime an enemy dies and everytime in the same place regardless of where you hit them, and if this is the deal I'd rather keep it as is.
In the "tubi" mod for MP2, the enemies featured blood decals on their models where they are shot or is that different? Just wanted to point it out
Not where they are shot, always in the same spots, pre-defined, the only possible thing.
I doubt it would still be more violent then the knifing in your own Payne Effects 3. That is so brutal I drool just thinking about it.
Oh man, The-Silver, if you see this comment, i want to tell that since you've made Payne Effects, my Mp2 experience has changed and, when I saw this mod, or this monument, i knew that something glorious was about to happen, so Thanks to you ! And keep up your awesome work !
Thank you very much! :)
And just to keep you guys updated, I improved the bloodpools with two variations and real textures from Max Payne 3. :D
Instead of a picture of your current weapons on top of the wheel, how about you just write DUAL on it? Just some of my ideas.
I tried to recreate the MP3 hud. ;)
DUDE REALLY? the mp3 weapon hud does not have duel when u select a 2 weilded weapon it shows a pistol . uzi etc......
How come Max has a revolver and a desert eagle? You told me he couldn't dual wield two different side arms!
Indeed, I confirm what I said, you can't combine two different handguns like in MP3, and yes as you see Max has a revolver and a desert eagle, but you can't dual wield them together, in the image the duals icons clearly shows that the akimbo pistols are two identical deserteagles, you can carry two different pistols but dual wield only a pair of the second one, and this is the best that can be done in the MP2 engine.
Ok. I get it now! Thanks! :D I'll be waiting for this to come up!
Does this have the sprint mechanic?
Nope, you can't add a lot more functios than the original game so there's no way to bind a new key to a sprint animation or such, but moreover in MP2 max already moves faster than every enemy so there's no reason to add an even faster run.
Ok thanks!
the necro alpha2.1 mod has a sprint mechanic its so cool!
u should check it out!
please finish this MOD and release it early co'z I cant wait for this MOD.
*facepalm* Modding isnt the easiest thing in the world you know.
grenade and molotov limit is 3 each? any chance to add double holster feature?
Only registered members can share their thoughts. So come on! Join the community today (totally free - or sign in with your social account on the right) and join in the conversation.
Here's the new Weapon Wheel, it works together with the new Limited Inventory System, so now you can take with you a maximum of 3 weapons, two handguns and a rifle, both features are obviously heavily inspired by Max Payne 3.
The Dynamic Crosshairs are here too, they are weapon class specific so every class of weapons have its own crosshair.
Other two features that are visible in this screenshot but not so much highlighted are the new random Bloodpools and Bloody Footsteps, sometimes enemies will leave a bloodpool when dying that starts small and realistically grows bigger for a while, and if you walk on it you will leave bloody footsteps from your soles for a while.

Congas are the heartbeat that weaves a rhythm throughout my life, opening the pathway for many beautiful things.
During a summer I spent in Michigan in 1978, I stayed with my high school buddy David Eli Harris. He had a pair of congas, and I loved to listen to Santana records and try to play along. Growing up in Miami, I had heard some Cuban music, but it was Santana that got me hooked on that hypnotic sound that I later learned was based on Cuban rumba. When I returned to the University of Miami in the fall, I bought a pair of Gon Bop congas. Two great Cuban congueros, Cookie Lopez and the late Oscar Salas were kind and patient enough to show me some things. I soon realized I was probably not destined to be a conguero, but at least I could play some stuff without destroying my hands.
I soon joined a band called Feather with some of my UM friends, including Scott Gartner on keyboards. I was playing congas and singing some lead vocals. This was the disco era, so we were playing lots of funky music, which I loved. We gigged enough to keep it interesting for a while, and I learned a lot. The instrument I was studying at the time was the French horn, and when Union horn gigs started coming my way, I focused on that and my desire to write songs. As a broke college student, I ended up selling the congas one summer when money was tight. But I never lost my fascination with the magic of "los tambores" – the drums.
A few years later I made the switch to keyboards and got my Masters degree in music writing and production. After playing and singing in cover bands and funk groups, I started playing piano with El Grupo Alma. One thing led to another, and I got my first big break, co-producing an album with Willy Chirino and directing his band. I was thrilled to find out his percussion section included master conguero Tany Gil. Tany became a great friend, and my unofficial maestro on congas. I spent countless hours jamming on the tumbadoras with him in "la oficina", soaking up as much as I could. It was there that my understanding of the drums and rhythms started becoming more internalized and innate. This knowledge has informed my music ever since.
When I formed PALO! in 2003, I was lucky to include two of the world's greatest Cuban percussionists: Philbert Armenteros and Raymer Olalde. I learn from these master drummers every time we work together. They are largely responsible for the unique percussion sound of the band, which seems to be one of the aspects of PALO! that attracts many fans.
One of our biggest fans was a wonderful gentleman named Noly Perez. Noly was also a percussion aficionado, and loved playing congas at parties and get-togethers. Sadly, Noly passed away recently after a short illness. Of course, his family and friends were devastated. I felt helpless; I suppose dedicating a PALO! song to his memory was a nice gesture but it felt very small when compared to the huge gap that was left in the lives of his loved ones.
A couple of months ago I was contacted by his widow, the beautiful Lillian Queral Hernandez. She wanted me to have Noly's congas; of course I accepted this incredible gift. I've wanted to have some congas in my studio for years, but I guess I was waiting for these drums. As I met with the gracious Lillian, she gave me some information about the congas and we chatted about Noly. I'm not sure if I made it clear to her how much it meant to me that she wanted me to have the congas, but I consider it a huge honor.
I began to do some research into the congas. I soon got in touch with Noly's best friend, Dario Rosendo; they were both "Pedro Pan" kids. Dario is a fine percussionist and expert in percussion and Cuban music. Dario had owned these congas at one time, and knew most of their history. They are Gon Bops, manufactured in the late 1970s, originally purchased by Fermin Goytisolo, the great conguero for K.C. and the Sunshine Band. Dario was also a close friend to the legendary conga innovator Mongo Santamaria, who would sometimes use these drums when he had gigs in Miami. Apparently Ray Barretto, another one of my heroes, played them as well on a concert in Miami. But just as important to me was the fact that Noly spent years enjoying these drums in joyful moments of his life.
Unfortunately, due to some botched repair jobs over the years, all three drums were in desperate need of restoration. I was introduced to Enrique "Pachá" Navarro, who agreed to take on the job of returning the drums to a playable state, and bringing out their physical beauty. Pachá patiently accepted the challenge, fixing cracks, refinishing hardware, replacing skins, and restoring the wood. With the care of a museum curator, he put in many hours of planning and work, thoughtfully respecting the integrity of the drums and protecting their legacy.
These drums have great meaning to me. They will remain in my studio, a reminder of the power of music. May their resonance bring happiness and beauty to our future music.
This post is dedicated to Lillian Queral Hernandez in the memory of Noly Perez.

BAGHDAD (AP) — Officials in Iraq say at least 47 people have been killed in a wave of car bombings in the central and southern part of the country today.
They happened during morning rush hour and are the latest in violence that has killed more than 3,000 people since April.
Bombs in at least a dozen cars went off in markets and parking lots in predominantly Shiite neighborhoods of Baghdad. The deadliest was in the eastern Shiite neighborhood of Sadr City, where two separate explosions killed nine civilians and wounded 33 others.
A bomb in a parked car also went off in a market in the southern city of Basra, killing four people and wounding five others.
There's no immediate claim of responsibility in today's attacks, but they have the markings of al-Qaida's Iraq arm, known as the Islamic State of Iraq.

|Course Title
|Date and Location
Extruded Power Cable System - Design, Installation and Operation
Extruded-dielectric cables are now in service through 500 kV worldwide, and there are extensive installations in the United States at 345 kV. We will discuss design aspects, including analytical studies, installation considerations, factory and commissioning tests, general operation considerations, utility power system effects, and maintenance practices, focusing on XLPE-insulated cables as well as EPR-insulated cables. There will be special discussions of hybrid lines, where short sections of UG cables may be the only way a utility can permit a long OH line, as well as reconductoring existing pipes with XLPE or EPR cables. Enhanced to include more analytical calculations!
October 4-6, 2017
Power Cable Ratings and Soil Considerations
Underground cables generally have lower ratings than overhead lines, and the cost per ampere is much higher. Wind farms are using underground cables to collect power from distributed wind generation. From the standpoint of ratings, both over-designing and under-designing are very costly. So it is desirable to confidently rate the cables near their ultimate limit. Important issues include:
Dr. George Anders will speak on special topics, e.g.:

October 10-13, 2017
HPFF & HPGF Cable System - Design, Installation and Operation
This 3-day course focuses on the design, ampacity, specification, installation, uprating, maintenance practices, dielectric fluid-handling systems, and life evaluation of both high-pressure gas-filled (HPGF) cables and high-pressure fluid-filled (HPFF) cables. There are extensive slide presentations on cable manufacturing and pipe and cable installation. Topics include ampacity calculations, cathodic protection systems, pumping plant requirements, dissolved gas analysis (DGA), cable ampacity, uprating methods using fluid circulation and forced-cooling, relocation and extension of existing lines, and many other topics relevant to pipe-type cables including several presentations on state-ofthe-art trenchlesswater crossings. Enhanced to include more analytical calculations!
October 16-18, 2017
Predicting & Operating with Variable Line Ratings
Overhead line thermal ratings often constrain economic power transfer and access to highly variable renewable generation. Such ratings may be static, ambient-adjusted, or dynamic (with real-time monitoring). Methods of calculating and predicting variable line ratings and making them useful to system operations, are explained with examples.
Unavailable in 2017
Increasing Line Voltage and Reconductoring with HTLS
The course discusses both basic and advanced techniques for increasing the maximum power flow capacity of existing overhead transmission lines. Whatever the required increase in line capacity, the course emphasizes practical uprating methods that minimize capital investment. Both traditional and novel methods of increasing the line voltage and maximum phase current of existing transmission lines are explained. In particular, the application of High-Temperature Low- Sag (HTLS) conductors is evaluated and emphasized. Both experienced line designers and beginning engineers can profit from the course.
Unavailable in 2017
Live Line Maintenance: Principles and Practices
This course provides information for utilities or contractors considering implementing live line maintenance practices on overhead transmission lines up to 765 kV. The history, tools, and theory, as well as industry best practices and the economic value of live working will be covered. The procedures for calculating minimum approach distances, designing structures to be live work friendly and overvoltage controls, an in-depth review of IEEE 516-2009 as well as a review of the recent OSHA changes will be included.

When i try to play a game made with C2 in a pc that i have in office it run very slow while when i run the same game in my home pc it run ok.
I was wondering if html5 is a language still not very suitable for creating games, especially because many PC users play with very poor pc.
What do you think about? how to fix this problem?
