There isn't one. Yes, I know it's odd. People have requested it frequently, but Dreamweaver doesn't autocomplete or highlight matching braces and parentheses. If you want it added to Dreamweaver, make your voice heard by submitting a feature request through the form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

Wow... I don't want to sound like a complete flaming idiot, but YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING? I'm definitely NOT an expert in
using Dreamweaver since in the past I always wrote html using Ultraedit or Komodo or some such. But with php I thought I'd
try the "PREMIUM DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT"......
There's no debugger
As near as I can figure, the Live View doesn't work worth <bleep>
You can't have the software match braces and such...
The editing capabilities aren't even up to what's in Ultraedit. Or Komodo.
This is a lot like editing Basic code back in 1975, using print statements to try to find logic errors...
I'm SURE Dreamweaver has MANY invaluable features that make it well worth the ridiculous price Adobe
is charging for it, but from here it sure looks like a very expensive loser.

"PREMIUM DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENT" ???? Not sure who sold you that line. Dreamweaver is good for what it is. Thanks for the rant, but sounds like you need an editor that holds your hand when you code or design.....or should I say holds your hand more then the death grip Dreamweaver offers. Every program is different and to be honest the one major draw back with dreamweaver is that is makes for some lazy coders because it not only holds your hand during development , but it sits with you in class and does all your homework.
My suggestion is to give it a try and see how it flows. Letting go of the hand is not all that bad.

Dreamweaver is a web design and development IDE. It has support for PHP, ASP, and ColdFusion, but is not a dedicated server-side development tool. To use Live View with PHP, install a local testing environment (see http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/setting_up_php.html).
However, if you want a full-fledged PHP development environment, try Zend Studio for Eclipse or PhpED. However, neither of them has the level of support for HTML, CSS, and JavaScript that you'll find in Dreamweaver. Each tool has its strengths and weaknesses. Use the one that best fits your needs.

I don't think it's a matter of hand holding here. Matching braces, the capability to jump from an open brace to its matching closing brace and vice versa is an extremely useful tool. It has nothing to do with holding hands my friend. Unless you're the type of guy who likes monochromatic monitors without any syntax highlighting, and think copy and paste is being pampered to death, then I wouldn't call brace matching and jumping "holding hands". It's an extremely effective tool, especially when you're dealing with code blocks that are hundreds of lines in length.
In my opinion - gimme all the bells and whistles you can. The faster and more productive I am, the more money I make. So if it's holding hands, then hold my hand baby! Cuz that cuddly soft hand is what pries those heavy rusty flood gates open!

That's just it, maybe they can't. In today's world of sue first and ask questions later, it's very possible, I dare say "likely", that Adobe simply can't copy that functionality due to patent issues. Adobe itself has been known to go on a couple of "you stole that" crusades against companies viewed as infringing on Adobe interface/functionality/proprietary-what's-a-ma-hoosit patents.
Can you imagine the "cha-ching" sounders going off in the heads of the lawyers for any company if they were to find a patented function or process from their software being used by Adobe?
I say request away on the wish form, but I wouldn't expect it to pop into any software without an acquisition or merger first.

Definitely a good point. Software patents are killing 'user friendly'.
However, if it was I, I would cut every corner and poke through every hole to meet the demands of my users. They could even use an arbitrary "code" in the background that only represents the bracket, and ONLY if the user desires to do so. Then match this arbitrary what-not instead of the actual bracket.
But I hear ya man. However, being that almost every editor/IDE out there does bracket matching except dreamweaver, INCLUDING even Flash Professional, Flashbuilder(I know, built on eclipse, but still, the others aren't), and Adobe ExtendScript - all adobe, do bracket and curly brace matching. So, that's odd.
I would actually be curious to know the exact reason why, of all the Adobe editors, Dreamweaver does not have this capability. It's a pretty basic and common feature across IDEs and editors.
Interesting and curious ...

I think I might be on to something, but I got hit by a hell of an idea for summoning rules.
Summoning is a property associated with minifig objects and weapons for double the CP cost, whether it be a simple tool (use:3) like a rod of summoning or a talisman, or any other magical sword, battleaxe, heavy machinegun or wizard staff of summoning. At the same use for attack, a minifig may summon up to 1d4" worth of creatures (any creation with a mind). For swarms, this may also be twice as many size zero creatures. Regardless of type or size, summons will have five inches of movement and structure level zero armor. Summons must appear within the range of the d4 roll as well.
Rolling a 4 does not spill over into bonus dice, but rolling a 1 re-rolls and summons that many hostile creatures!
All summons must be sustained with an action on the caster's next turn, or disappear at the end of the turn. Tools of summoning may summon creatures as often as they wish, but once a weapon of summoning has called something forth, it will require a kill before it can summon again.
Summons that require weapons (skeletal soldiers, vietnam war ghosts) automatically arive to the party with a weapon, but abilities, extra size, equipment, and all armor require an inch off of the d4 roll. No equipment may be looted off their corpses, since they mysteriously disappear!
Eh? Eh? My only fear is how much this slows the game by. I'm imagining it as "and I summon *roll* three robo dogs," but It could take a while if someone tries to munchkin a good roll into summoning a stone golem with a machinegun, but I'd still imagine you'd have to roll a 4 with that, and by all means you deserve it by then.

Top Gear drives the new Lamborghini Gallardo
Thursday, December 20, 20123comments
Really? No, your eyes must be deceiving you. This is clearly nothing like a Lamborghini Gallardo. Nothing at all. Oh no.
Stop pulling my leg right now
OK, it's a facelifted Gallardo. With new bumpers. These have trapezoidal shapes now. This means the nose and tail have more lines that slope outwards and make the car look a fraction wider and lower.
And? There must be more to it than that.
It also has new wheels. They're round, 19 inches across and 'Apollo-polished'. Before you ask, I have literally no idea what that means, but they are quite spangly.
So come on, what's been done to the engine, gearbox and suspension?
Um, nothing.
Really nothing?
I'm afraid so. This is a Lambo patch-up job, a quick fix to try to patch over the Gallardo's cracks - cracks that are very obvious if you drive it back to back with its chief rivals, Ferrari's 458 Italia and McLaren's MP4-12C-7D-FGX6F. The trouble is that the Gallardo is approaching its tenth birthday now and doesn't have the headline-grabbing technology and outright speed of its most direct opposition. It's not as new and so not as exciting in buyer's eyes.
Does this really matter, though?
As far as sales go, it does. When the Gallardo first appeared, it was up against the Ferrari 360. Since then Ferrari has given us the F430 and now the 458 Italia, and although the Gallardo has progressed, it's now long in the tooth and rather outclassed. Lambo needs a properly new Gallardo - and soon. That said, the old warhorse still has a place in the supercar pantheon. You see, it's brilliant fun. Where the McLaren is a tad sensible and the Ferrari a bit, well, prancy, the Lambo bellows and charges about. I'm not suggesting I'd have it over either of them, because unfortunately I wouldn't, but I am suggesting that it still has a role to play.
So you're saying it's fun, but ultimately a bit rubbish?
No, if you value pure driving thrills the Lambo remains pretty convincing. It has good turn-in, nice balance and steering that gives you plenty of confidence for what the car is up to. It's also small enough to fit neatly down a country road. So you can lob it into corners like a hot hatch, and use the 4wd to boot it out the other side like an Impreza, 5.2-litre 552bhp V10 yowling away delightedly. It really does get a shift on, too, Lambo quotes a 0-60mph of 4.0secs, but I remember testing one a few years back that did the sprint in 3.7secs. But what I like best about the Gallardo is that it doesn't feel precious, it likes getting stuck in and genuinely feels happy in winter conditions.
Come on, there must be a 'but'...?
Of course there is. The brakes - long a Lambo weak point - aren't very nice to use, dead at the top, then too grabby further down (a similar complaint afflicts the McLaren, too) and the gearbox, not a twin clutch, but an old paddleshift sequential manual is rather... unsubtle in its operations. You have to back off the throttle to smooth changes. The cabin is starting to feel its age, too and being comparatively heavy at 1,550kg, it doesn't feel as nimble to drive, you have to wrestle it around a bit.
But it has an alcantara steering wheel and that automatically makes things better, doesn't it?
Absolutely. It also sounds absolutely tremendous, has brilliant throttle response, is at least £20,000 cheaper than rivals at £147,038 and, really, deep down, we all love the Gallardo. I just pray that when Lambo does finally launch its replacement, they don't lose the essence of this car. It's a bit naughty. And we like that.

Lucky Stars
If you've ever wanted to thank your lucky stars, this is a good time to try. The constellation Aquarius sails across the southern sky on autumn evenings, and several of its stars have names that signify luck or good fortune.
The most prominent examples are the constellation's two brightest stars. Their proper names are Sadalmelik and Sadalsuud. The names are from ancient Arabic, and mean "lucky one of the king" and "luckiest of the lucky."
The names may refer to the stars' positions. Back when the constellations were named, the Sun passed through this region of the sky in early spring, when the long nights of winter had passed and the new season brought gentle, life-giving rains. In fact, Aquarius is one of several "watery" constellations in that part of the sky.
As luck would have it, both of the stars are members of a rare class of stars known as yellow supergiants. Supergiants of any kind are rare enough. But most supergiants are either hot and blue or cool and red. Yellow ones are the rarest of all.
Sadalmelik is the larger and brighter of the pair. It's a few dozen times the diameter of the Sun, and several thousand times brighter. It's 600 light-years away.
These "lucky stars" -- both moderately bright -- are in the southeast at nightfall, and pass fairly high across the south later on. We'll have more about them tomorrow.

Temporary rule; prohibition of retention.
NMFS is prohibiting retention of shortraker rockfish in Statistical Area 610 of the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). NMFS is requiring that shortraker rockfish in this area be treated in the same manner as prohibited species and discarded at sea with a minimum of injury. This action is necessary because the 2007 total allowable catch (TAC) of shortraker rockfish in this area has been reached.

Jennifer Hogan, 907-586-7228.End Further Info End Preamble Start Supplemental Information
NMFS manages the groundfish fishery in the GOA exclusive economic zone according to the Fishery Management Plan for Groundfish of the Gulf of Alaska (FMP) prepared by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council under authority of the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act. Regulations governing fishing by U.S. vessels in accordance with the FMP appear at subpart H of 50 CFR part 600 and 50 CFR part 679.
The 2007 TAC of shortraker rockfish in Statistical Area 610 of the GOA is 153 metric tons as established by the 2007 and 2008 harvest specifications for groundfish of the GOA (72 FR 9676, March 5, 2007).
In accordance with § 679.20(d)(2), the Regional Administrator has determined that the 2007 TAC of shortraker rockfish in Statistical Area 610 of the GOA has been reached. Therefore, NMFS is requiring that shortraker rockfish in Statistical Area 610 of the GOA be treated as prohibited species in accordance with § 679.21(b).
After the effective date of this closure the maximum retainable amounts at § 679.20(e) and (f) apply at any time during a trip.Start Printed Page 39581
This action responds to the best available information recently obtained from the fishery. The Assistant Administrator for Fisheries, NOAA (AA), finds good cause to waive the requirement to provide prior notice and opportunity for public comment pursuant to the authority set forth at 5 U.S.C. 553(b)(B) as such requirement is impracticable and contrary to the public interest. This requirement is impracticable and contrary to the public interest as it would prevent NMFS from responding to the most recent fisheries data in a timely fashion and would delay the prohibition of retention of shortraker rockfish in Statistical Area 610 of the GOA. NMFS was unable to publish a notice providing time for public comment because the most recent, relevant data only became available as of July 12, 2007.
The AA also finds good cause to waive the 30-day delay in the effective date of this action under 5 U.S.C. 553(d)(3). This finding is based upon the reasons provided above for waiver of prior notice and opportunity for public comment.
This action is required by § 679.20 and is exempt from review under Executive Order 12866.Start Signature

What I found so adorable about this episode is how Taiga can be so shaken up and dumbfounded with the right conditions. Even with the tough shell, she can be as submissive as a puppy; like when she found Kitamura alone and sad, she told him he could touch her anytime, anywhere (something like that), and gets embarrassed from her sudden outburst.
It's funny, an angel of Death transforming into a distraught maiden upon the appearance of a certain someone.

This episode, like others have said, seemed to suggest that Kitamura confessed to the Student Council President, and that she shot him down. Kind of makes me dislike Kitamura here. He initially goes after Taiga, who is so shocked she turns him down. Now, knowing that Taiga actually does like him, he goes after another girl.
Glad to see some Ami development too. But when are we going to see some more on Minorin, like what makes her do the things she does?

What a GREAT EPISODE!
Everyone got a slice of developement! EVEN KITAMURA!
WOW! I thought that guy was just some caricature of an anime archtype but this episode even managed to humanize KITAMURA!?
Comedy was high up there with Minorin zanyness and Ami vs. Taiga bickering!
But wowee-wow! We got a look into everyone's squiggly insides too!
Plus guilty-pleasure Ami moments.

The whole concept that touching Taiga would bring good luck made me laugh out loud and the fact that it irritated her so much made it worth it. Honestly the episode was filed with the usual Toradora humor and such but what made the episode a 9 in my book are 3 scenes which i loved.
The first being the several scenes where Ryu keeps saying hes touched Taiga more than anyone else he should have the best luck out of anyone. Now i took this as symbolic in terms of Ryu and Taiga's relationship. I believe Ryu does have the best luck out of everyone but does not realize it same with Taiga. I believe its because they have each other but neither realize how important the other is to one another and i believe it will come later.
The second was Ami who as always is just superb (notice that she also has had lots of contact with Taiga including rubbing her head in this episode) The scene of her talking to her mother showed exactly what Ryu has done for her. She is acting more like her true self has made real friends and even though she stopped short found someone she truly cares for namely Ryu. To me she has also been blessed with good luck.
The final scene was Yaya-chan, Ryu and Taiga all sitting around together eating. When Yaya starts talking about family and rubbing Taiga's head it just showed me how close not only Ryu and Taiga are but her mom are as well. The key word during the conversation being family. To me this another great theme of Toradora to go along with finding yourself, love, and friendship.
Now although i didn't add this scene to my list i couldn't help but to mention it. Kitamura and the student council prez. I am sooooo curious as to what was said that its eating me up inside. Whatever was said made Kitamura sit outside the school with this puzzled look on his face. Im sure it will be mentioned later but whatever it is im sure it juicy. I dont want to say it was confession by her but that is one of the possibilities.

great episode
heh, I always thought Kitamura liked the president... he's spent so much time at the student council and the first time she appeared in the anime, Taiga got jealous of her because of the way Kitamura looked at her with such great awe. Someone mentioned that he likes Ami but I think he treats Ami with the same kindness he treats his friends. Someone also mentioned that he's a boring character with absolutely no development, but they've missed the clues presented throughout the series about his character. And in the last episode, when the pres said she's leaving the student council in good hands (Kitamura's), it may be an indication of why Kitamura is sad in this episode. Isn't she a senior? So she must be graduating. I hope the luck of the palm-top tiger would work on Kitamura so he can also find his own happiness!
It seems this development for Kitamura would also be a catalyst for Taiga's relationship development. She's always been chasing Kitamura with no progress and it seems she can now speak to him normally. It might be an indication of Taiga getting over her nervous crush for Kitamura.
Looking forward to the next episodes.

May I bring the attention over our spoiler policy, that we post each time a new episode thread is opened?
I'm posting this because I've seen users who're familiar with the novels posting here contents that, basing on the anime, are not foreseeable as of now. That's the point, if the anime didn't show it yet, then you can't discuss it here. As simple as that.
If someone begs you about what will happen next and which chapter will be covered, then reply in pm and not in this thread.

erm, good episode and quite enjoyable.
Like the palm top tiger happiness legend, who touch tiger or punch/hit/smack by Tiger also can be happiness afterward, that true because, most people does. The teacher should try this once lol.

Really, i'm going to like Ami more and more. I feel so sorry for her, when she sits alone in her room with this pork. Waiting for development of her story.
And i like very much the way Taiga and Ryu became one family, it's so nice!

I had no idea Toradora was JC Staff's unloved bastard child
So which show is their primary one? I don't really know much about anime studios or anime in general. This is the 1st anime I've actually seen and followed, unless you count DBZ when I was like 10.

Centennial Olympic Park was the cornerstone of the 1996 Summer Olympic Games which were hosted in Atlanta, Georgia. The 21 acre park was designed for both the Olympics and all of its temporary features and structures, but also needed function as a great urban park after the games were concluded.
The central 'Fountain of Rings' is based upon the iconic five Olympic circles. 251 dynamically controlled water jets along with integrated color changing lights and music creates a unique water sculpture at the park center. The symbolic gesture to the Olympics, which will remain in Atlanta for all future generations, has since been replicated in other urban designs including the famous Bellagio Fountains in Las Vegas.

The violent end to the fantastically large life of Greek tycoon Konstantinos "Gus" Boulis leaves investigators with an army of enemies and a legion of friends to question as they tackle the daunting job of discovering who killed him.
Boulis, whose improbable success story -- a virtual American fairy tale -- began when he jumped a Greek freighter in Nova Scotia 33 years ago, was gunned down in Fort Lauderdale on Tuesday night as his legal and financial troubles were reaching a crescendo.
At the time of his slaying, the former dishwasher who built a multimillion-dollar empire of fast-food chains, casino ships and resorts had been demonized by his business partners, abandoned by local politicians and accused of breaking a secret deal with the government to get out of the gambling business.
"He was a person who liked to play by his rules alone," said Hollywood Mayor Mara Giulianti, who drafted Boulis to help rebuild her city's beachfront but only last week said she no longer wanted to do business with him. "He could be extremely engaging, very charming and open, and very dominant and domineering," she said.
A tireless, personable and hands-on businessman, Boulis had built a fortune -- he once put his net worth at $95 million -- on the Miami Subs restaurant chain, parlaying some of his money in successful hotels and the SunCruz Casino, which almost single-handedly created a "cruise to nowhere" gambling industry in Florida.
He was famously generous, friends say, doling out gifts to the Greek Orthodox Church, the American Cancer Society and Kids in Distress. And he was fun. On the first Wednesday of each month, he treated church members and friends to a free night of food, music and gambling on his SunCruz VI in Hollywood, drawing Greeks from all around.
"Gus was just a very gregarious, fun guy to be around," said friend and business associate Donald Wright, a retired chairman and CEO of SunTrust Credit Corp., who helped finance some of Boulis' ventures. "He was one of the most imaginative and most dynamic people I've ever met," Wright said.
But everywhere Boulis went, in his personal and business affairs, he left a messy trail. His wife, who lives in Greece, filed for divorce, he was charged with threatening to kill his Florida girlfriend, sued by myriad business partners, and accused of promising to kill the man who bought his SunCruz Casino.
"Hey, there's a list an arm long," said Myron Burnstein, who has pursued Boulis and SunCruz as a special counsel for Attorney General Bob Butterworth.
Boulis' recent troubles centered on his $147 million sale of SunCruz Casino in September to a partnership headed by Dial-A-Mattress founder Adam Kidan. The ink had hardly dried on their sale agreement before Boulis accused Kidan of stealing his money, Kidan accused Boulis of stealing his slot machines, and former Boulis partners in Tampa and Jacksonville said both Boulis and Kidan cheated them out of their interests.
A meeting between Kidan and Boulis erupted in a wrestling match, in which Kidan said Boulis tried to stab him with a pen, punched and kicked him, and promised to kill him. Kidan, who called Boulis "an animal" said this week that he thought Boulis was actively trying have him killed.
Kidan said Monday that he hired private investigators to compile a "risk assessment" that concluded Boulis was dangerous. But he also said last week that he would not be intimidated by Boulis.
"This man has finally met his match," Kidan said at the time. "We're not taking this lying down."
Kidan, who is in Israel on business, could not be reached for comment on Wednesday.
Boulis only sold SunCruz because the federal government forced him into it, and even the sale set prosecutors on him once again.
Boulis admitted last February to concealing his ownership in two of his companies, Dream USA and Dream Boat Inc., trying to hide the fact that he was not a U.S. citizen when he bought six SunCruz ships in 1994. U.S. laws require such vessels to be owned by corporations whose president and board chairman are U.S. citizens. Boulis became a citizen in March 1997.
Boulis' plea to the charges, in which his companies were fined $500,000 and he was fined an additional $500,000, was sealed. Neither the U.S. Attorney's Office nor Boulis' attorney would explain why the case was sealed.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Teresa Davenport has asked U.S. District Court Judge Patricia Seitz to unseal the document because Boulis violated the terms of his settlement by retaining a 10 percent interest in SunCruz through his company, Shake Consulting, a partnership formed in the Caribbean nation of Nevis.Despite his problems, Boulis never showed the strain in public, said his longtime friend, Greg Karan, who only Monday was being deposed in one of five lawsuits surrounding the SunCruz deal.
"Every day the big smile, welcoming his customers and employees," recalled Karan, an executive vice president with SunCruz before and after the sale. "His constant go-go-go approach to his business, his customers, that's what motivated him every day."
Karan started working for Boulis at one of his Mr. Submarine sandwich shops when he was 15.
Boulis, who skipped off a Greek freighter in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in 1968, moved to Toronto and worked his way up from dishwasher to partner at a submarine shop within months.
Several years later he built Mr. Submarine into a near 200-store chain. When he came to South Florida in 1979, his idea was to retire, but he succumbed to his urge to keep building a business empire.
As he built hotels and restaurants, his Miami Subs chain, and eventually SunCruz, he left a wake of ex-associates and political foes. Yet Boulis remained focused on expanding his businesses, sometimes under heavy financial burden.
"He was constantly in motion," said John Steffey, who captained Sun-Cruz's Hollywood ship until four months ago when Boulis sold out. "It was nothing to put in an 18-, 20-hour day, or more."
When Boulis was at the Hollywood casino ship, one of 11 in his chain, he was constantly on his cell phone, checking on his other businesses or talking with his lawyers. Yet he remained involved at every level of all his businesses.
"He was the kind of guy who would pull the line for me when we were ready to go," said Steffey.
Boulis' expectations of hands-on involvement from high-ranking employees at times earned him criticism on the business pages from executives who left or were ousted from the Miami Subs chain before he sold the company in 1998. There were also reports of explosive tirades directed at top staff.
Other Boulis employees professed admiration and affection for their boss.
"He's a man of great imagination," said Steffey.
And Boulis doted on his two young sons who he at times brought by the ship, Steffey and Karan said.
In October 1997, the boys' mother and Boulis' longtime girlfriend Margaret Hren obtained a restraining order against him after she accused him of beating her and threatening her life. Two months later, Fort Lauderdale police arrested Boulis after Hren complained of persistent harassing phone calls.
At the time, Boulis was also going through a divorce from his Greek-born wife, Efrosini "Frances" Boulis, whom he married in 1971 to evade immigration efforts to deport him, a 2000 Forbes magazine profile said. The two were separated in 1976. She asked for half of Boulis' assets, which were estimated at $95 million in 1995, then $46 million in his divorce papers in 1998. The couple have two grown sons in Greece.
When Attorney General Bob Butterworth and Broward Sheriff Ken Jenne teamed up in a 1998 raid on his ships, claiming SunCruz was conducting gambling before it reached the three-mile limit off shore, Boulis was not deterred. He immediately sent employees to bring down another ship to his most successful port, and business resumed the following day, Steffey said.
"He always prevailed," said Steffey. "Not until yesterday did anybody really stop Gus."

The love of Christ must come before all else. (RB 4)
This short sentence found among the 'Instruments of Good Works' sums up all of Benedict's teaching. From the outset Benedict points to Christ. The gospel is central to everything . He invites us to meet Christ in community prayer, meditation, and silence; to see Christ in one another, the sick, the guests, and especially the poor and needy. Benedict gently leads us away from self to embrace Christ in every situation, every person, and every event. If we truly take this message to heart, we will experience peace of heart, even in the face of difficulties and suffering.
Although Benedict places before us such high ideals, he is also aware of our human weaknesses and struggles. John Main describes the Rule as 'an extraordinarily human document: Everywhere (we find) compassion and understanding of human limitation and human weakness. At the same time he looks to Benedict's goal for us all: Equally the Rule is totally clear-sighted in proclaiming the vision of what Christian life is in the establishment of the Kingdom. So, for example, St. Benedict includes the tools of good works in Chapter Four of the Rule where you will read, 'Let the monk prefer nothing to Christ'. (Community of Love. P. 47)
Can we even begin to glimpse at what the love of Christ really is? In one of his hymns Father Faber writes: 'The love of Jesus, what it is: none but his lovers know'. Julian of Norwich continually reassures us that we are always 'enfolded in love'. (Revelations of Divine Love) Gertrude of Helfta speaks of 'the priceless gift of intimate union with Christ' (The Herald of God's Loving Kindness) These and and many other mystics have shared the fruit of their visions with us and encouraged us to open our hearts to experience the love of Christ in our daily lives.
Each one of us is invited as they were, to enter into a love relationship with Jesus. It is the call of the Gospel and is extended to every human person. All we have to do is open our hearts to God and make him the centre of our lives.

Taylor Swift Named Hustle Gang Member by Rapper T.I.
Taylor Swift may be the reigning princess of country music, but she's got a new title for her resume: "Extended Member of Hustle Gang." The singer was christened as such by rapper T.I., who performed with Swift when she hit his native Atlanta during her Speak Now Tour and who claims to have heard her much ballyhooed collaboration with rapper B.o.B.
B.o.B. has stonewalled the media when discussing the collaboration with Swift, cryptically saying that "I can't discredit nor confirm the rumor. Once it's began, it's begun and it will take its course."
Well, T.I. was able to confirm the rumor, since he told MTV that he heard the song with his own ears. He also said that Swift is like family now. "Taylor's extended Hustle Gang. She a part of the crew. She just ain't got her dog tags yet, but she's a part of the crew though," he proclaimed.
Our girl Taylor Swift has been warmly embraced by the hip-hop crew. That's a serious honor, since not everyone is extended an invite. But America's Sweetheart has gotten under the gang's skin and is helping hip-hop and country collide in a new way.
The collaboration with B.o.B. is slated to appear on his 'Strange Clouds' album, which is due May 1. Maybe once the song hits, Swift will fully earn those dog tags T.I. spoke about.

How did your passion for Arabian Horses get its start?
My little story with the Arabian horse started in 1990 when I was preparing my veterinary doctorate's thesis. In my genetic study, I compared the Arabian with the Moroccan horse (the Berber). Therefore I had the opportunity to analyse a few hundred horses and to see to what degree this noble creature is distinguished and releases the purity through its morphological expression.
After having integrated also the national stud farm, my contact with the Arabian horse became more professional, especially concerning breeding, reproduction, horse identification and stud book management.
It gave me the chance to visit all the important studs in Morocco and their breeding programs. Since that time, I have set myself my principal aim: To have the professional ability in order to appreciate a horse suitably. In that moment, my judge career had begun.
Have you ever imagined (or perhaps dreamt) how much those horses would mean to you one day ? And which were your aims already in that early time?
Honestly, I never thought that the Arabian horse would become for me a source of passion and inspiration; It all came with time and experience, and my love doubled with curiosity and desire of more discoveries.
Nowadays, the Arabian horse for me has a connotation of purity, strength and beauty added to the ancestral mystery around it.
I do believe that the Arabian horse was, still is and will always be the rarest known species having this universal unanimity!
My most important aims regarding the Arabian horse are firstly, to contribute to his development in my own country - Maghreb - and in a modest way also around the world, like I did already in Libya, Senegal, the Sultanate of Oman and the UAE.
Secondly, my permanent aims are the characterization of different Arabian horse bloodlines in a scientific and precise manner as well as the analysis of different breeding programs.
Finally, I wish to try to connect what was written on this breed, particularly in the Arabian literature, with what is current and real.
You have been working as an appreciated and much requested judge at international level for many years. Which was your first show and how have shows changed over the years?
I will never forget my first probation with Mr Barbier Depreaudeau during the French National Championship in 1991, at Pompadour. He passed to me the right base for judging. To me, standing in the ring with him was a memorable experience. That's why I'm still thankful to him.
Since that moment, I've never missed any opportunity to learn, ask or read about the mysterious beauty of Arabian horses. Yet, as a scientist, I always aim at objectives and precise answers: that it so difficult to achieve!
After a few years, I understood that horse assessment concerns at the same time science and subjectivity. Passion finds its expression in subjectivity, and that expression remains ingrained in each impassioned individual.
However, when passion is collective, its interpretation concerns the culture and individual vision. So the Arabian horse appreciation could be introduced as a common passion with individual perception. This explains the great richness and value of the Arabian horse.
I started to develop a strong appreciation for horses in general more than 18 years ago, studying their habits and qualities, seeing more horses, speaking to the professionals, like breeders and international judges.
But, in order to be qualified as an official International ECAHO A-judge, I attended the judge courses in 1996, 1998 and 2004 - apart from judging many national and international shows. During these courses, I was strongly supported by the Royal Moroccan Arabian Horse Breeders Society.
In general, the show environment changed a lot, both in a positive way - more new shows, more professional organization, best quality of horses - and in some negative ways such as limited panels of handlers and judges who participate everywhere.
I think it's urgent that the ECAHO starts thinking about a program/strategy which could assure a larger panel of new judges and proceed with their qualification in the next few years. Also, the ECAHO has to think about a good system in order to give this new generation of judges the opportunity to participate in the shows.
From your point of view, what is the most difficult criterion to judge?
Before answering this question, let me recall my fundamental principles of judging: knowledge, passion and impartiality!
Also, when we appreciate an Arabian horse in the arena, indirectly we evaluate the breeding program which produced this horse. So with the marks, the jury approves or rejects the result of this program.
These thoughts give higher responsibilities to the judges and prove their important contribution to improve the Arabian breed in the world.
During the shows, it is the presence of high-quality horses that makes judging difficult, especially when you have to decide between horses which have more or less the same value. But with more experience, you can make the difference.
The most subjective category is type. The other categories (head & neck, body and legs) are also difficult to judge, but there are many dimension, proportions and references that the judge can use for the assessment. Concerning movement, it depends a lot on the training and experience of the handler.
Finally the judge has to devote the same attention and concentration to all categories in order to do a correct and objective evaluation.
Can you describe the work of a judge to Tutto ARABI readers? The class starts and the horses enter the arena...
Since the beginning of the class, the judge has to concentrate in order to appreciate the horses correctly and express his judgment and ranking.
It all starts when the whole class is in the arena for the first inspection; this moment is very important, as it provides the judge with the only possibility to have a global idea of the quality of class, to identify the best horses and eventually compare the horses with the same quality.
All this work has to be done in a very short time. This overall assessment is followed by the individual examination of the horses. Also there, the judge acts logically with his method. He has the eye on the horse from its entry in the arena to its exit.
Then he proceeds to examine the individual horse presented in hand from various sides. This examination is done on the base of ECAHO judging references.
However, the judge has to control his emotion and try to be completely detached from the public's reactions, especially in big shows. This attitude is made possible only by experience.
Which system of judging do you prefer personally and why?
In general I believe that the best system for the judge to appreciate and classify the horses is the comparative one.
It allows the judge to have his permanent idea on the whole class, and at the same time compare horses side by side. On the other hand, this system also has some disadvantages for breeders, as it is not possible to see individual marks for each horse!
However, the use of the comparative system is very limited around the world.
The most popular method is the "20-points system": multiple juries with an independent judgement, 5 categories, with half points or not according to the level of the show.
Indeed this system with half points remains the one which offers more possibility to the judges to work easily - especially as regards a more detailed judgment in classes with high quality.
Often it is the half point which makes the difference, in particular for type as well as head and neck.
As to the American system, which excludes the highest note and the lowest one, it has the advantage of guaranteeing homogeneity of the marks given, but it also inhibits inexperienced judges or those who are not accustomed to this system. One effect can be fear that your own note is among those excluded. Moreover, this system is still not practiced very often outside the USA.
Finally, I believe that it is the judge and the harmony of the jury which makes the system successful or not. In other words, there is no perfect judging system but only a good panel of judges...
Besides being a judge, in 2009 you organized some international shows - please tells us about it...
You are referring to the latest international show which took place in Tripoli, Libya, on 14 and 15 August. This event was the result of a whole program aimed at levelling the Arabian horse in this country and I had the honour to contribute to this project on more than only one level. I shared my expertise as an expert in the management of stud books, identification and organization of stockbreeders I have gained since 1994. The LAHBS recorded outstanding performances, recognition of the stud book in 2002 by the WAHO, inclusion in ECAHO in 2004; moreover, it organized regional and national championships in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
This year we organized the first international show in the area of Maghreb. I have contributed modestly to this important event as I had the technical responsibility of the show. My great bet was to make a success of the event in conformity with ECAHO rules and regulations. I think that it was a great success.
For a first experiment, it exceeded expectations; participants showed high quality, there was a panel of high-level judges, an experienced technical staff and especially a large international professional audience from the USA, Europe, the Gulf countries and North African countries.
The impact of this show on the Arabian horse breeding in Libya was very significant, and the fame of ECAHO was also underlined.
On the other hand, it was time that the world of the Arabian horse organized some important international shows in the Maghreb area. I think that the start was made in Libya now.
The second imported appointment was the Moroccan International C-Show organized on 23 and 24 October 2009 by the Royal Moroccan Arabian Horse Breeders Association at El Jadida, during the second edition of Salon du Cheval of Morocco - it truly was a success. I also contributed modestly to this show together with the board of the Association. More than 4000 seats were occupied around the showground... the atmosphere was magical.
I think that in the next future, the Maghreb area will be a very important centre for Arabian horse activities!
Show organization is very complex and requires great experience. The key of success is to find a balance between all people taking part in the show.
Currently, many show organizers complain about the decrease in participants and spectators at the European shows. Do you have the same impression and how do you think the problem could be solved?
Indeed, during the last two years, the decrease in the number of participants in big events for Arabian horses was clearly noticed, in particular in Europe.
This phenomenon occurred at a time when the interest for the Arabian horse in general, and shows in particular was rocketing - it is enough to analyze sale prices of the last few years and the number of new large breeding projects installed.
Several reasons could explain this trend: the economic crisis had an impact, but it is not the only cause.
Indeed, the (legitimate and well-deserved) predominance of some large stables in big international shows contributes to this effect; thus "small" breeders and owners are not encouraged - considering the high level of competition which destroys their chances to be on the podium in these shows.
Moreover, a remarkable development both on the quantitative as well as qualitative level of international shows in the Gulf countries is the price money paid.
Also, I am tempted to see this phenomenon from another angle: this level of participation of horses in international - European, in fact - shows might mark a return towards a relatively normal level dating back to before the "booming years" which correspond to the starting of new stables in particular in the Gulf countries. Future years will certainly bring logical and convincing answers to this question!
What do you expect for the future? Please share with us some of your visions
As an enthusiastic Arabian horse lover, who sees his passion from a professional point of view, I believe that it is time that the international community concerned with the Arabian horse started to restore the balance of the breed.
Today, commercial dimensions and interests are more important than any other qualitative considerations, in particular the conservation and improvement of the breed.
The current development is not reasoned, it certainly harms the breed, especially the Arabian horse's genetic pool - the abusive use of embryo transfer, pushed selection, the dissolution of certain lines, etc.
That doesn't necessarily mean that we are against biotechnology, but we advocate its rational use.
What is necessary is the creation of an international structure/institution or commission made up of experts on the matter of selection, which may take these questions in serious consideration and recommend the authority and supervision of the WAHO, in particular, and ECAHO, in order to find a balance.
The other point relates to the judges. It is time that ECAHO show organizers made an effort to bring more new judges to the international scene.
Indeed a great positive step has already been taken with ECAHO's revision of judges' training, but there are more important steps to take...
What advice would you give to someone who is approaching the world of the purebred Arabian for the first time?
Firstly, that he or she is welcome in the family of Arabian horse enthusiasts. It is an excellent passion, rich and enriching. We realize quickly that the passion for Arabian horses enables you to make meetings and knowledge not easily conceivable in other contexts.
But it must be moderate and rational: we should never forget that the Arabian horse is first of all a "horse" which must have a function!

Ryan Murphy Announces 'American Horror Story' Season Four Title...
American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy dropped a bomb on Twitter on Monday.
Check out the official title for American Horror Story season four!
AMERICAN HORROR STORY SEASON FOUR: pic.twitter.com/6OHYzGjPMd
— Ryan Murphy (@MrRPMurphy) March 24, 2014
It's AHS: Freak Show!!
We wonder if there's an organic way to integrate Britney's "Freakshow" from Blackout into this??
We're pretty sure "Freak Show" will easily integrate the previously mentioned "carnival" theme.
What do you think of the title, Instincters??
If he gets bored, he just kinda lets a show hit the skids, doesn't fix it, and moves on to the next big thing. With American Horror Story, he starts something new every season, which matches his attention-span. He might enjoy doing that one longer. There's no denying he's gifted, but he is not a "long-haul" kinda guy, professionally. He needs to find a staff of writers who can carry on after the first season or two of a show, so that he doesn't let his fans down when he "jumps ship" creatively.
I saw the idea of this season back at the start of the year before the season finally was expected to run. So I am not surprised. As for Brittney, I could pass on her being part of the show. But if we must endure, I would hope she is the going to be something creepy and really crazy that is befitting who she really is.

Hi Tim,
I came across the above article at http://www.preservedwords.com, and think it is better than anything I've read on this particular subject. As the author, you should feel quite good about what you wrote. I too have heard sermons from evangelical pastors that stress the importance of the tithe. Perhaps they need to spend some time reviewing what Paul had to say to the Galations. "I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel: Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ." Would you consider making this into a module?

It doesn't need to disentangle itself from Google+. Everyone will have it and no one will use it. Much like pretty much everyone has a Windows Live Profile with their Hotmail account but no one uses it.
Google has bet the company on Google+, but it's dying on its arse. A study by traffic analysts RJ Metrics suggests that public engagement with the social network is weak, and failing to gather momentum. "The decay rate here is very concerning," says the report, summarised here. "Users are less and less likely to make …
I certainly fit that pattern - I have a Windows Live profile (or two) that I only ever use when forced to and a Google+ account that I largely ignore.
I also have Twitter and Facebook accounts that barely get any attention and there's a MySpace account somewhere too. Come to that there's Yahoo!, Geocities and goodness knows what else that I've signed up to and then ignored.
Google doesn't need to actively disengage from G+, users are doing that themselves.
If they wanted to get people using it more they could start by encouraging app developers to include it in the combined social media apps for smartphones so that a single status update went to G+ as well as Twitter and Facebook and G+ posts made by friends got inserted into the time line.
I suspect there are others, like me, that use Google+, even sparingly, but never use Facebook and don't have a Facebook account. The fact that Google's default privacy settings are private compared to Facebook defaulting to open will attract a different crowd.
Also, betting the company on it? I doubt it somehow, they are an advertising agency, Google+ is just one of many outlets for those adverts,
Yes but they have revamped even the main google.com page around your personal profile and + account. + failing won't bring Google down (which technically is what betting the company on it would mean) but it is an awful lot of work wasted, which has also brought lots of criticism from unhappy users.
Product not forced on people in "product forced on people in flopping shock" shock.
Wesley doesn't understand youtube or G+. Before the change you needed to log in to youtube in order to rate a video. Now that youtube and its ratings are being incorporated into G+, you...need to log in to youtube in order to rate a video. Youtube users are now part of G+ but they are not forced to visit plus.google.com EVER and Youtube handles are kept separate from G+ profiles. It's like how on facebook you might be "forced" to log in in order to rate a video. But facebook would count you as a user. Youtube's hundreds of millions of user accounts don't appear in the G+ user stats.
Disagree with this. Hanging out on Plus is like going to a party filled full of chesty white male tech bloggers talking at you. It's the LEAST engaging experience I've had on the net, easily. In contrast on Facebook I know poltical activists, journalists, union reps, artists and many other people that I have a real relationship with.
Good riddance to it. I don't like being coerced into using services that are substandard.
If social media persona was stored in a standardised data structure and exportable to a new service then swapping hosting companies would be more viable. Ideally you should be able to share access to it across multiple social media hosts.
Sadly, it's not in the interests of monopoly holder Facebook to open up the market. But it happened with document formats and is a driving factor concern in cloud storage, so maybe given a big enough anti trust case it could be implemented.
You are right that Facebook is successful because it's awesome. Arguably, windows achieved it's monopoly position by being the best product on the market. However, these products become very hard to compete with due to lockin. Even if G+ has better features, very many of my friends use only facebook. Facebook does arguably have a monopoly, enjoying some 95% of social network usage time in the US.
The value of a social network is in the friends you have on there. That makes them uniquely able to see off competition through pure momentum. This is bad for the consumer because it means no one can win against facebook by inovating. It could be broken by forcing them to open thier APIs in a massive way, so that a post, and a profile, on G+ was also a post on Facebook for instance.
I hope social networks will decentralise, so that we can have a choice of supplier, more like email. I don't think this will happen without intervention. I think this is due to momentum, due to monopoly marketshare. I think facebook is a bundled product (it has many components, you don't get to choose them). I think there is room, and utility, in a slap on the wrist here.
Sure, monopoly holder Facebook haven't implemented an open standard for social networking. It's a good job Google came along, with their "do no evil" mantra, and implemented a full open solution to the problem. That's why everyone flocked to the more open G+, right?
I have plenty of friends, but prefer to socialise with them IN PERSON rather than via Facebook. For the rest, G+ is a far better service.
This weekend is a prime example, the Williams fire at their F1 pit, all the Twitter stuff was taking about it in 140 characters, the #f1 tag in G+ had live video streams of the fire, inline pictures of Sennas car remains etc... The information was just as relevant and upto date as the #f1 tag in Twitter, but infinitely more useful.
The video hangouts are unparalleled, and something most people are missing out on.
People are (slowly) seeing that G+ is the best bits of Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, and that the privacy is easier to comprehend.
...until 'People are (slowly) seeing that G+ is the best bits of Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook, and that the privacy is easier to comprehend.'...
...because it seems apparent that people are seeing anything of the sort...and are reacting to Google's ram-it-down-your-throat approach with a 'f**k-you' response.
People and PCs have come on a ways since the days Google bamboozled everyone into installing it's invasive, chunky and really f**king annoying toolbar...which was their first real attempt to shove their product down everyones' throats - which unfortunately worked...
@Mr. Shitpeas - no, the point is that they are TRYING to force people into using it, and people are ignoring them. Just like I have to ignore the in-your-face "use Google Chrome" ad that's foisted on me every time I visit google.com these days.
The problem is that Facebook is so popular it now has its own social ethics.
I can't add my interesting friend, for instance, without either a) adding my interesting friend's neurotic partner who posts crap about kittens sixty three times a day or b) mortally offending said interesting friend. I'm a hell of a lot more choosy about Facebook friends than many people seem to be but I _still_ wind up with three or four who just spam incredibly dull crap all day.
Hell, it's hard enough to refuse friend requests from (former, even) coworkers without offending anyone.
This is a product of G+ circles.
You decide which of your circles see a particular update, so my engineer friends will see my code rants, and my family will see my holiday snaps. When you recieve Only the kind of info from your friends that They think You care about, there is a lot less broing Not You stuff. It's a big difference.
But it completely removes the serendipity factor. It's why I hate tailored news sites: "Oh, you looked at this article once -- here's 200 like it! And we're starting to filter out anything you've never looked at before!"
Great. I ate applesauce once, and now it's applesauce dinner time.
I really hope that google ignores these propaganda pieces and keeps going ahead with google plus. The noise/signal ratio is way lower than on facebook, and the private groups are really a great way to discuss private issues.
You might probably see less activity than on facebook, but that only means that nobody is interested in sharing with you, not that nobody is sharing...
Search is not Google's business. Advertising is.
Facebook has sneaked up on Google and now has more of the internet users' attention than they do -- and unlike Google, Facebook can say to advertisers: "How about we run your ad to 18-25 year-old-females living in these six urban areas who like sushi restaurants and have a birthday coming up in the next three weeks".
This is why Google needed to do well in Social Networking: their current advert targeting cannot match what Facebook can offer, and Facebook's user base is now so large it is becoming a serious competitor to Google as an online ad platform, and to reiterate: online advertising is Google's only revenue generator. Nothing else, from all of the company's myriad products, produces one red cent of profit for Google.
Sure, G+ turning out to be a flop isn't going to shut them down next week, but this is yet another project from Google that has not delivered for the company, and is the third "social" product to fail. That kind of record risky for their long term survival.
Yes, but Google is even better placed than Facebook on mobile. Facebook isn't really doing very well at monetising all that personal data and it isn't doing it at all on mobile. Google Plus is a reasonable extension for Google to its existing services by providing a single sign-on. I noticed the other day that my Google Plus pictures are visible to my Android device.
The default of not posting publicly and actively advising against it is not only smart towards savvy users and the data protection crowd it also means that only Google really knows what people are doing.
I know what your saying, but no matter how many users a particular company has unless Facebook get good conversion rates on those Ads they won't be pulling in as much revenue as Google who could have better conversion rates on the Ads they run.
If you want to pay for internet advertising you go with the company that's going to get you the click throughs.
For your average user, Facebook is wherever Google says it is - remember this?
I know several people like the folk commenting to the linked article, whose approach to Internet use is to start their browser, type the name of what they want and take the first link offered by Google's search. It works for Facebook and it works for widgets, so widget sellers understand the importance of being high in Google's search results. If Google screw that up, then they may go the way of webcrawler, excite, etc.

Could you just take a brief look at it?
I would appreciate if you can help correct the rest of the citation and improve its the quality. Thank your so much for your help!
By employing multiple field interface techniques, Prof. X has surmounted a series of problems of grave importance with originality, and launched a succession of milestones in the course of his academic march.

Thank you for your comments.
As to the implausibility, I agree that it's some what exaggerated.
Thanks again.
an internationally leading theory- an internationally accepted theory?? leading doesn't work here
a series of problems of grave importance- great importance (grave is negative to me)
which is just one of the many conjecture proofs worked out by Prof. X. - I wouldn't use his name again here
Thank you Tdol.
As to the word "grave", I do see your sense about it, but in Merriam-Webster, it goes like this:
Main Entry: 4grave
Pronunciation: 'grAv, in sense 5 often 'gräv
Function: adjective
Inflected Form(s): grav·er; grav·est
Etymology: Middle French, from Latin gravis heavy, grave -- more at GRIEVE
1 a obsolete : AUTHORITATIVE, WEIGHTY b : meriting serious consideration : IMPORTANT <grave problems> c : likely to produce great harm or danger <a grave mistake> d : significantly serious : CONSIDERABLE, GREAT <grave importance>2 : having a serious and dignified quality or demeanor <a grave and thoughtful look>
3 : drab in color : SOMBER
4 : low-pitched in sound
5 a of an accent mark : having the form ` b : marked with a grave accent c : of the variety indicated by a grave accent
But, on the other hand, as a native speaker, you are always right. I know a dicionary doesn't tell everything.
Thank you so much for your help.
If you look at all of those, they are serious and carry a negative tone- grave news would be a death or suchlike- serious, but grim.
Here's a list of some of the most common words associated with 'grave' (searched at http://view.byu.edu/ ) and you will see what I mean.
3 concern
46 danger
35 doubts
32 goods
31 foot
29 face
27 cradle
20 risk
13 situation
13 risk
12 consequences
12 problems
11 pauper
10 father
10 matter
9 error
9 expression
9 mistake
9 side
9 threat
9 reservations
8 giant
8 offence
8 misgivings
7 case
7 family
7 head
7 voice
7 war
7 difficulties
6 bottom
6 difficulty
6 discovery
6 injustice
6 breaches
6 charges
BTW, do use this site- it's fantastic for getting more information about a word- you can search a huge database (The British National corpus). Here I asked it for the nouns coming immediately after 'grave'. Do try it- it can help where dictionaries may fall down.
Yes, Tdol, I found it really fantastic. I need to spend some time on it.
You helped me a lot!!! I feel grateful indeed.
It's a vewry good site- play with the anchors lower down on the left- very useful. It's searching the British National Corpus, which is a massive database of written and spoken language.
Yes, that's true.
I've learned how to work with it, i.e, at least, I figured out what you had done to get the results with the word "grave'.
Thanks a lot

One of the Morticias will be played by Livia Barrows, another D-S freshman who's performing in her first production.
"It's a really interesting show," she said. "I have friends who've done the program, and it looked like fun."
Director Scott Walker said after doing a dinner theater last year, "Addams Family" seemed a great fit.
"It's a contemporary show. It's fun to do," said Walker. "It's quirky … it has the feeling of a summer show."
Other members of the crew include musical director, Michael Jones; assistant director, Drew Keavany; student directors, Annabel Hodson-Walker and Elizabeth Owen; student choreographer, Emmanuelle Fried; producers, Lisa Hodson-Walker and Judi Miller; technical director, Len Schnabel; crew head, Jason Fisch; Community Center liaison, Bill Keavany.

The parking lot forest of dead Christmas trees
But when I stepped out of the house this morning, there were no Christmas trees in sight.
I soon found them, however. A couple buildings down from us is a parking lot — really two parking lots with a sloped drive between them, a slope where all the parking lot snow is mounded.
It seems someone rescued all the discarded trees of the neighbourhood in the night and planted them here.

Soft Crease® Scoring
We are the world leader in radio frequency (RF) creasing. While other methods produce clear plastic boxes with stiff or fragile scores and sharp edges, our proprietary Soft Crease scoring technology uses RF energy to cause a controlled displacement of material from the score lines. This results in more uniform creases, with less folding resistance, ensuring that Klearfold® clear plastic boxes fold precisely, have clean lines, and maintain their crisp shape. We are unique in our ability to RF crease APET and RPET box-grade plastics, to produce environmentally-preferred plastic boxes with superior strength and performance characteristics.
Our proprietary E-Z Crease® scoring, which does not use RF energy, can be used to produce PP cartons. It may also be appropriate for PET grades used in non- packaging applications.

Chris Brown to Remain in Jail Until April
The 24-year-old singer was arrested on Friday after he was dismissed from a Malibu rehab facility for violating its rules.
A judge says R&B singer Chris Brown must remain in jail until a hearing in late April because he failed to remain in a court-mandated rehab program.
Superior Court Judge James R. Brandlin said Monday that he was troubled by comments that Brown made during his rehab stay, in which the singer allegedly said he was good at using guns and knives.
EARLIER: Chris Brown Has PTSD, Bipolar Disorder, Rehab Says
The 24-year-old singer was arrested on Friday after he was dismissed from a Malibu facility where he was being treated for anger management and other issues. Brown had been in rehab since November, when Brandlin ordered him to receive treatment as part of his sentence for a 2009 attack on then-girlfriend Rihanna.
Brown's attorney Mark Geragos asked that Brown be allowed to enter another rehab program, but Brandlin refused and set a probation violation hearing for April 23.
