Turok (PC) review
"In many ways, this 2008 incarnation of the classic franchise does a decent job of recreating those Turok memories. The dinosaurs are out in full force once again, the staple crossbow is back, and there are plenty of opportunities to combine these two features in a gloriously bloody way. Unfortunately, for the most part, Turok serves only as something of a wake-up call as to how much gaming has moved on since then, and how much this title is stuck in the past."

26 Reasons We Love Ann Arbor
Highlights of Ann Arbor: A to F [1]
Attitude Every time we visit Ann Arbor, Michigan (population: 112,000), we come back raving--about the vibrant downtown, the eclectic cuisine, the affordable galleries, the sleek museums and, of course, that infectious college-town energy.

Smart car has found a way to fashionize its line of electric cars. Fashion designer Jeremy Scott teamed up the car manufacturer to release smart forjeremy which was unveiled in Los Angeles in November 2012 and recently made an appearance in New York City during Fashion Week. The car marks the first time a fashion designer was allowed to make changes to a car's actual body and Scott didn't hesitate to add his own flair to the efficient vehicle.
Jeremy Scott has become known for the wings that make an appearance on sweatshirts, sunglasses and sneakers in his many fashion collections. Building on his trademark, wings are a central feature of the smart forjeremy car design. One transparent, red fiberglass wing expands off each of the back side panels, not only adding a decorative touch, but also serving as rear and brake lights. Scott explains, "For me, wings mean freedom, a sense of weightlessness. Because of this, I definitely wanted to have them for the smart electric drive in order to convey the way it frees the environment of noxious emissions and symbolizes the new lightness of mobility."
Having designed unique costumes for the likes of Lady Gaga, Madonna, Katy Perry and Rihanna, Scott also knows the importance of adding fun to any experience and he has certainly done so for driving. For instance, above smart forjeremy's headlights, two shapely "eyebrows" give the car an expression of curiosity and joy. Drivers are invited to take hold of the two chrome spokes of the white steering wheel which remains open at the top. The outer wheel rims are shaped like airplane propellers and jet engine shaped side air inlets complete the wing theme in the interior. Adding to the light, aerodynamic feel, the car is white with chrome accents, re-emphasizing its relatively clean environmental footprint.
The two-seater features a 55 kW electric motor that runs off a 17.6 kWh lithium-ion battery and can run about 122 miles per gallon gasoline equivalent (MPGe) in city traffic without producing local emissions. Better yet, the car accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 11.5 seconds and can reach a maximum speed of 78 mph.
As the prototype continues to make its rounds across the globe, Tokyo will be the next to receive the car just in time for its March 2013 Fashion Week. Perhaps this latest incarnation of haute couture will be next to hit the runway as design disciplines become increasingly intertwined. Smart plans to launch a limited special edition in 2013.

Around 62 percent of adult U.S. Catholics have a profile on Facebook; 58 percent of Catholics 30 and under share pictures, articles and comments at least once a week; and nearly a third say they would like their pastors and bishops to use blogs. Those are some results of a study released by the Center for Applied Research in the Apostolate at Georgetown University. The study, "Catholic New Media Use in the United States, 2012," was released on Nov. 11 in conjunction with the U.S. bishops' annual Fall General Assembly in Baltimore. The report "suggests many opportunities for the church to engage with those who live on the 'digital continent,' as Pope Benedict XVI describes this new culture of communication," said Bishop John Wester of Salt Lake City, chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Communications. In fact, more than half the survey's respondents said they were unaware of any significant presence of the church on social media.

When our son Anton was five years old, our little family took a trip to the south of France. As we checked into our hotel in Aix, Anton looked longingly at the group of children frolicking in the pool. "Quick Mommy," he pleaded. "Teach me French!"
Four years later, Anton has started studying the language in school and has a new question: "Why do I have to learn French, Mom?"
Where has the magic gone?
Being a native Montrealer and devout Francophile, it is a fond wish that my husband Pat, who is of Italian descent and our children (Anton now has a two-year-old sister, Siena) love French culture, too. So this March Break the family is embarking on a trip to Quebec City -- as planned by Anton. His mission: to research an itinerary that features a combination of seasonal activities, traditional cuisine and cultural experiences a family could only have in Quebec.
Anton cross-referenced reviews from sites such as Trip Advisor with ideas from bonjourquebec.com and its real time, online chat feature -- which Anton thought quite cool. To fine-tune our travel agenda, Anton also spoke with Micheline Lachance from Tourisme Quebec.
Anton I'm dying to see the Ice Hotel. It seems impossible. What's it like?
Micheline The tour shows you what each category of room is like and how you can sleep comfortably on an ice bed and drink in ice glasses. Each room is adorned with ice sculptures that represent different scenes of nature.
Anton I read Quebec produces about 80% of the world's maple syrup. Is March a good time to visit a sugar shack?
Micheline March is "sugaring off" season and a great time to visit a cabane a sucre. You'll be able to see the boiling room where the sap is transformed into maple syrup, take a horse-drawn sleigh ride through the woods where the maple trees grow and enjoy maple taffy on snow. Be sure to try "Grand-peres a l'erable," a cross between donuts and dumplings covered in hot maple syrup sauce if you get the chance.
Anton I'd like to do a day trip to Trois Rivieres to visit the Old Prison because the tours are given by real, live ex-inmates. If we stay the night, will we have to eat prison food?
Micheline Yes -- porridge and toast: a breakfast fit for a prisoner! But -- caution -- because of the subject matter, the jail tour is not recommended for kids under 12.
Anton Darn. Is there any other cool activity you could recommend that would make Quebec's history interesting to a kid?
Micheline If you like battles, the Musee du Fort has a 30-minute sound and light show that brings the Battle of the Plains of Abraham to life on a 400 square foot diorama of Quebec City.
Anton I often get in trouble at school for not eating my lunch. Although I hate sandwiches, I love French food -- especially duck confit and escargot. What local dishes should I try?
Micheline Quebec has its own homegrown specialties that do not come from France. Keep an eye out for typical Quebecois fare like: "ragout de pattes" (Pig knuckles stew) and tourtiere (meat pie) and for dessert a "tarte au sucre" (sugar pie).
Anton Merci for answering my questions. Our trip is shaping up.
And so it was.
Participating in the planning process has given Anton a feeling of ownership over our holiday, and because he has selected the activities, he's excited, even if the goal is educational.
While our trip isn't until March, all this planning has prompted Anton's latest question: "When am I going to learn Italian, Dad?"
1. Ice hotel "I was expecting a big block of ice, but even in pictures, this place looks more like a sculpture -with beautiful carved walls and incredible lights and effects." hotelquebec.com/ice-hotel.html
2. Cabane a sucre "I put maple syrup -the real kind -on everything, so I'm curious to see where it comes from and how it's made." cabaneasucre.org
3. Valcartier vacation village "I'll be trying every single slide but am looking forward to ice karting (winterized go-carts on an ice track) because it will help me learn to drive." valcartier.com
4. A caleche ride through the historic old town "Especially if it includes blankets and hot chocolate." calecheduvieuxquebec.com
5. A game of shinny "Playing hockey on an outdoor rink with my dad will make Quebec feel like home." (The best spot for this: Porte St-Louis outdoor rink at the intersection of St Louis and d'Auteuil in the heart of the Old Town.)
For an insider's perspective on the best of Quebec, we quizzed Jonathan Lansdell, a trip planner at Butterfield & Robinson.
Best hotel pool in Quebec City? The Fairmont Chateau Frontenac. On a cold day it is warm and filled with light.
Hotel with the best view? Also the Frontenac. Perched high above lower town and the St. Lawrence, it offers an incredible view from any floor.
Biggest thrill at Valcartier Vacation Village (about 20 minutes from Quebec City) Snow rafting on The Tornado!
Sweetest spot for a sweet snack? Choco-Musee in the old town for exquisite handmade chocolate and gorgeous window displays.
Unique Quebec activity that would make me feel like a local? Snowshoeing on the Plains of Abraham, with the St. Lawrence and the Citadelle as a backdrop, takes you past locals skating, cross-country skiing and tobogganing. Head out in the evening with lanterns and hot chocolate to really feel like an early settler.

The Colorado Pledge to Racial and Ethnic Diversity was originally signed by a group of leading Colorado law firms in April 1993 and has been updated and reconfirmed on several occasions since. Its purpose is to set forth clear, realistic, and attainable goals for the enhancement of diversity in Colorado law firms. Leading firms agreed to join together in this undertakings because it was apparent that, despite individual efforts and good intentions, law firms had been unsuccessful in achieving the level of diversity that they wanted and should attain. As a result of signing the Colorado Pledge to Diversity, more than 20 of the most prominent firms in Colorado have agreed to recruit and hire people of more diverse backgrounds to fill their ranks.

Cheyenne [1] is the state capital and largest city (2005 pop. 55,731) of Wyoming. Cheyenne was founded in 1867 by Major General Grenville Dodge, the chief engineer of the Union Pacific Railroad. In 1869, Cheyenne became the capital of the Territory of Wyoming. It became the state capital in 1890.
Get in
By car
Cheyenne is located at the crossroads of Interstate-80 and Interstate-25 in southeastern Wyoming.
Cheyenne is 40 miles east of the Nebraska border and 8 miles north of the Colorado border. Cheyenne is 90 miles directly north of Denver. The trip takes approximately 1 ½ hours, depending on Denver traffic. Cheyenne has no traffic problems.
By plane
The closest major airport is Denver International Airport (IATA: DEN). Rental cars are available at DEN. Shamrock Airport Express has shuttles from DEN to Cheyenne with drop-offs at the Holiday Inn and the Best Western Hitching Post, via the Harmony Transfer Center in Fort Collins, Colorado.
For the adventurous, small 15-seat prop planes fly from DEN to the Cheyenne Regional Airport (IATA: CYS). The flight is not recommended for those with weak stomachs or those who hate roller coaster rides. However, if you would like both an aisle and a window seat you are in luck. Great Lakes Airlines operates the 40 minute flights (about 20 minutes of actual flying time) and code shares with Frontier and United.
Alternatively, Allegiant Air serves Fort Collins from Las Vegas.
Get around
Cheyenne is pretty much an automobile- and bike-friendly city. There is, however, also a public bus service. [2]
Get out
Despite also being in Wyoming, Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks are hundreds of miles away on the opposite side of this fairly large state. Fort Collins, Colorado is only 44 miles to the south.

LEICESTER, Mass. – Todd and Ryan Bonheyo (Frederick, Md.) had a hand in the first six touchdowns scored by Gallaudet University as the Bison defeated Becker College, 48-26, on the road Saturday before a crowd of 1,236 at Alumni Field in an Eastern Collegiate Football Conference (ECFC) game. The win keeps Gallaudet's conference title hopes alive, as the Bison (5-2, 3-1 ECFC) will enter the home stretch of the regular-season with three key ECFC contests left on the docket.
GU jumped out to a 14-0 lead behind two touchdown runs of two and 38 yards, respectively, from Ryan Bonheyo (six carries, 65 yards). Todd, the younger of the two brothers, ran in from six yards out at the six-minute mark to give Gallaudet a 21-7 advantage, the same margin it held at halftime. Todd Bonheyo finished the game with 14 carries for 88 yards and three touchdowns and he completed 7-of-14 passes for 104 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
The Bison defense smothered the Becker run game as they limited the Hawks (2-5, 1-3 ECFC) to 22 carries for 16 net yards. Becker quarterback Robert Baker was hard to slow as he completed a school-record 42-of-65 passes for 446 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Baker's top targets were Shaun Llewellyn (16 receptions, 105 yards, two touchdowns) and Luis Sanchez (13 receptions, 159 yards) as the two combined for 29 receptions and 264 yards.
Gallaudet outscored Becker 27-19 in the second half as Todd Bonheyo started the third quarter with a 34-yard touchdown run and the fourth quarter with a 37-yard touchdown run. Todd Bonheyo threw a 12-yard score to senior wide receiver Ryne Worsham (Chicago, Ill.) at the four-minute mark in the third quarter as the Bison led 34-13.
Becker pulled to within 14 points when it scored a touchdown on a 31-yard throw by Baker to Nicholas Sherman with 48 seconds left in the third quarter. Gallaudet responded with Todd Bonheyo's third rushing touchdown on the day to start the fourth quarter.

tenant on 06/05/2010
The Landlords have worked hard to eraticate this problem. They have in many cases gone beyond what most owners would have done to accomodate the tenants. This problem has plagued the city from it's slums to the wealthiest of neighborhoods. Only time and persistant attention can rid a building of these horrible pests. Although it has been a nightmare to live with I'm glad we live in a building where nothing was spared to get things back to normal. The building has been clean now since late April.
Anonymous on 03/14/2010
It's March 13, apartments were treated again yesterday, but tenants are still being bitten. Live bugs were found this week.
Anonymous on 03/08/2010
Six apartments were treated in late February and residents were still being bit. The owner has been responsive. They gave all tenants on the building the bedbug addendum and three apartments of the six were retreated in early March. One tenant moved out yesterday and left infested furniture behind, which the owner paid to have removed safely and the vacant apartment treated for the fourth or fifth time. The elevator was also treated but not the common areas, i.e., the landings. A bedbug was si
ghted on one of the landings.
Anonymous on 02/20/2010
The problem at 1050 is being handled but only in apartments that report a problem. Apartments adjacent to infested apartments are not being treated necessarily and some have not even been inspected. The landlord has posted a sign saying that there are "pests" in the building and basically to let him know if you also have "pests". Other tenants are not aware that they may have them and not show signs of bites and the word "bedbug" is never mentioned. I feel that if we're lucky this focused effort
may work, however there is a great potential for this problem to spread due to lack of communication and ignorance about the issue. The problem is affecting personal property, health (tenants have scars from bites), time and money for clean up, and over all quality of life. I have spoken with tenants that have spent time away from their apartment for days and slept in other areas of their apartment,including a someone who once slept in their bathtub just to have a bite-free night's sleep.

Confirmation that bed bugs have been found in 1050 Franklin in at least four apartments as of Feb '10. Bugs have still been sited since last treatment.

The Top 10 Social Tools for Restaurant OwnersJuly 26th, 2011 by REW Blog Team
Getting traffic in the door…
It may be the most difficult part of the foodservice game, and the ways to make it happen are rapidly changing. While word-of-mouth is still the reigning champion in promoting your business, the forms that it comes in varies greatly. Twitter, Facebook, Google+, YouTube, Blogger, and many others are encroaching on the physical person-to-person discussion of where to eat. The greatest benefit of these new digital communications is that you can often drop in on the conversation.
If you have great food, you're already in a prime position to tap into this discussion and further promote your business – chances are, plenty of people are talking about you already. The digitized world is big, though, and it might be hard to know where to start. Let's break it down by service, arranged by how important we think they are to your foodservice operation.
1. Twitter
Twitter is a premier tool to engage with your audiences, and with good reason. With instant responses that can spread through the Twittersphere, your name can be broadcast loud and clear through the internet. It goes without saying that you need to be short and to the point, but being clever and current doesn't hurt, either. To get people to follow you, you need to follow them first; if they don't follow back within a few days, unfollow them and try somebody else. A good goal is to have slightly more followers than people you follow, but it takes some work to get there.
It's easy to get started, just visit Twitter and you just need to provide a name, email, and password.
2. Facebook
The key here is contests and engagement. If you offer a free appetizer coupon for a limited time to people who "like" your page, you're going to be in for a treat yourself. Ruby Tuesday offered 100,000 free burgers by liking their Facebook page and, as of today, they have over 500,000 followers. That's a lot of exposure, and even if every single free burger was given away, there's still money to be made – people tend to bring their friends and will certainly buy some appetizers, sides, and drinks. Make sure you are visiting those who "like" your page and thank them personally. Do this until the volume of likes far exceeds your capacity to personally thank each Facebook friend, and you're well on your way to creating a viral effect.
Starting a Facebook page is simple. Go to Facebook's Create A Page portion of their site, choose Local Business or Place, and it's easy as pie from there on out.
3. YouTube
This is probably the most rewarding outlet in social media; since videos generally have a higher production value compared to the snippets of conversation within other media outlets, they tend to get more attention. Add some behind-the-scenes videos, recipes, or footage from special events. You don't even need to invest in much; just a Flip camera or similar will do fine, and free editing software such as Windows Movie Maker will do for most operations. If you have the budget, the better your videos are, the more attention they seem to accumulate. Keep adding videos every once in a while to keep your channel fresh and leverage your other social media outlets to drive views and interest.
Signing up is simple: visit YouTube, and you can either sign in with an existing Google account, or just give an email, username, and password and you're in.
4. Google+
The new kid on the block is quickly becoming the gorilla in the room. Since, as of right now, Google+ is an invite-only platform, and they don't have any tools for business, you're best hope is to use your operation's Google account to engage users as an unbranded "friend," and hope that they add you to some well-populated circles. The flip-side of the Google+ coin is the user-generated promotion of your site through what Google calls their "+1 Button." Similar to Facebook's "like" button, it generates interest and puts your restaurant's site nearer to the top of the list when people search for places to eat on Google.
Signing up for Google+ is as easy as finding someone who will email you an invite. To do this, appeal to friends, family, and customer's to see if any of them have invites. To add the +1 button to you're website, go to Google's site to get the code. If you're still new to site development and coding, have your website's team do it for you, or your neighbor's kid.
5. LinkedIn
Often viewed as a site to boost your resume, LinkedIn actually has useful tools to keep you connected with colleagues and other business owners. If you're in the foodservice industry, you know there is plenty of healthy competition, but plenty of friendships as well. As you foster these relationships, you may find strength in numbers.
Visit Linked In and put in your first and last name, your email, and a password and you're well on your way.
6. Your Own Site
This is an oft-overlooked tool in your arsenal. The most important part reason for having your own site is that you ultimately determine the content and how it is formatted. Put up your menu, daily deals, and push your Facebook and Twitter. Just having a website adds legitimacy to your business and makes customer's who are looking to try something new visit you in-person; however, having a well-designed and often-updated website can really sway a customer's decision to choose you over the competition.
You can make your own site, even if you are not a web guru. If you visit a hosting platform such as GoDaddy, you can buy a domain, get hosting, and design a basic site all in one day. If you don't have the time to make your own site, there are plenty of web design companies who will take care of all the nerdy tech stuff for you. Do a search to find reputable ones in your area.
7. Groupon
Groupon offers daily deals to a rich database of consumers; they might offer a coupon for $30 worth of product at your establishment for as little as $10. That $10 profit is then split between your business and Groupon. It's much pricier than many of the other social media tools, but the turnout is hard to beat. Just make sure you're ready for the rush, and you can financially support such a loss-leader. The Groupon folks will push you to drive your prices down to nearly nothing, so go into negotiations with a set percentage off that you are willing to settle for. Also, be honest about your chances that this will result in repeat business – will folks come back for more after the initial coupons are used?
Visit Groupon Works for more information about how it works, and then go to the Get Featured section of Groupon's site to apply as a business. The bar to get featured is actually pretty high, you'll need to provide information about your business such as your reviews on Yelp! and City Search (if any).
8. Business Review Sites
We decided to lump these all together. This includes City Search and Merchant Circle, among others. Usually, these sites will allow users to add business themselves, so chances are, you're already on there. Job well done, right? Not quite. Often, you will want to provide additional information that reviewers have not added yet – your menu, average price of food, business hours, additional pictures. The best part about these sites are that people on them are generally genuinely looking for a place to eat; it's free advertising! The downside is that even a few negative reviews can affect your restaurant's business. Often, you are able to respond to customer complaints on these sites, so it is good form to professionally apologize for any inconveniences caused by your establishment and offer for them to try you again (and you may entice them with a free drink or similar). For every customer that puts the effort into adding a review, there are often hundreds who are just looking – it's important to keep up appearances for those potential customers.
As noted before, you are probably already listed. Visit Google Places, Yelp!, Yahoo, Urban Spoon, and the others to make sure you are listed and reviewed well.
9. Blogging
Though we nearly ironically made a blog post about this in the past, it's important enough of a point to be made again. If you feel as though you have the time and the content to update a blog on daily basis, you need to start one. If you have your own website (and you should), WordPress offers an easy way to start blogging once it's installed. In all reality, it's the only way to go as far as blogging is concerned. It's free, updated constantly to keep pace with current technology, it's simple to use, and versatile.
Just visit WordPress's site and check out their Famous Five Minute install. If you have any questions, visit our past blog about the subject for more info.
10. Email
Email may be on the back burner in the minds of social media gurus, but it is still a force to be reckoned with. Nearly everyone with access to the internet has an email account. Even if all of the other ways of contacting your customers over the internet fail, if you have an in-store sign asking customer's to sign up for your email marketing campaign in exchange for a free dessert, you are sure to pick up some of the less technically savvy customers you miss with your other online marketing campaigns.
While you can run an email campaign all by yourself, it can become tiresome coming up with new ideas and adhering to good formatting rules. Companies like Constant Contact will help lighten the load for campaigns such as these, for a small monthly fee.
It looks like you have some homework to do! Keeping up on all of these communication outlets can prove time consuming, but if you want to improve foot traffic, they can be a boon to your restaurant business.

I am scheduled for LASIK in a week. My concern is my large pupil size at 7.6mm and 7.9mm. My doctor is certfied on 3 different systems and recommended Ladarvision 4000 due to the larger treatment zone. I was told I was a good candidate but there is always the chance of having night vision problems with such a large pupil.
Does anyone have any idea what the success rate is with Custom Wavefront and large pupils?
My corneal thickness was 536 and 539 and I am also wondering if I will have enough tissue left for enahancements with such a large ablation zone and blend zone.
2 Doctors said that would do Lasik and the 3rd said they don't do anyone over 7mm (I think due to the limitation of their Visx).
I am considering Dr. MC out of Birmingham (He used to be in Atlanta).

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Oct. 4, 2011) – The ETSU women's basketball team started preparing for the 2011-12 season, as the Lady Bucs began official team practice on Sunday afternoon inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center.
Head ETSU women's basketball coach Karen Kemp returns for an 18th season at the helm, and she had time to give her thoughts on the first days of practice.
"This year is no different than any other year, as expectations from my end are very high," said Kemp. "We expect to get the best out of our players, and I feel like we have been doing that during our preseason workouts. We are disappointed after the finish last season, so our players are eager to get going and work towards achieving our goal of winning a championship."
The Lady Bucs, who are coming off a program-best sixth consecutive winning season, look to reclaim the Atlantic Sun Championship after having their three-year run come to a halt in 2010-11. ETSU finished the season 19-12 (15-5 in A-Sun play) a year ago, but the Lady Bucs were upset by Jacksonville in the semifinals of the conference tournament.
After losing two starters in point guard Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) and post Latisha Belcher (Martinsville, Va.), the Lady Buccaneer coaching staff hit the ground running on the recruiting circuit. Five newcomers will don the Blue and Gold in 2011-12, while Serena Clark (Tucker, Ga.) will have to sit out this year after transferring over from Clemson.
With the departure of Davis and Belcher – a pair of 1,000-point starters and key pieces in ETSU's three-peat run – Kemp and the Lady Bucs still return three starters as well as getting red-shirt senior guard Tarita Gordon (Wichita, Kan.) back for her final year. Prior to missing the entire 2010-11 campaign with a knee injury, Gordon was named to the Atlantic Sun All-Tournament Team following the 2010 championship, while also netting a career-high 30 points (5-of-8 from three) against Xavier in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Joining Gordon back from injury is Second Team All-Atlantic Sun selection, Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.). Mitchell, the Lady Bucs' top returning scorer (14.5) and rebounder (9.0), missed the final six games after dislocating her knee cap against North Florida back in February. The second-year player recorded 11 double-doubles as a freshman, while also collecting three A-Sun Newcomer of the Week honors and one A-Sun Player of the Week accolade.
Looking to close out their playing careers with one final championship run are seniors Natalie Pickwell (Kingsport, Tenn.) and Gwen Washington (Manassas, Va.). Pickwell had a breakout year as a junior after starting all 31 games and averaging 11.7 points and 2.3 three-pointers per game in 2010-11. Meanwhile, Washington – who hasn't missed a game in her three years as a Lady Buc – enters her final season 168 points shy of becoming the 20th player in ETSU history to reach the 1,000-point club.
Starting Sunday, the Lady Bucs were allotted 30 practices in a 40-day span before opening their season with Tennessee Tech on Friday, Nov. 11 in the Preseason WNIT. Prior to the season-opener, ETSU hosts Carson-Newman (Nov. 3) and King College (Nov. 7) in exhibition games.

Athletes at the Winter Olympics may be punished for making statements on the podium against Russia's anti-gay laws or human rights record but can do so at news conferences without fear of sanction, the IOC said.
Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, explained ahead of next month's Sochi Games that under the Olympic Charter political protests and demonstrations within venues are not allowed.
"It is very clear the Games cannot be used as a stage for political demonstrations however good the cause may be," Bach told a media conference call on Monday.
"The IOC will take, if necessary, individual decisions based on individual cases. It is also clear on the other hand the athletes enjoy the freedom of speech so if in a press conference they wanted to make a political statement then they are absolutely free to do so."
Asked whether he was urging athletes to make their point at news conferences rather than the medals podium, Bach said: "If you are drawing this conclusion I would not say anything against it".
Russia has caused considerable controversy with a recent anti-gay propaganda law that critics say curb the rights of homosexuals in the country.
President Vladimir Putin has said homosexuals will not be discriminated against during the Feb 7-23 Winter Games but many athletes have said they would make their opposition known during the Olympics in the Russian Black Sea resort.

If you haven't heard yet, one of America's top pro teams has recently made the switch to Diamondback bikes for this upcoming season. The Optum Pro Cycling Presented by Kelly Benefit Strategies men's and women's team will be riding Diamondback's amazing, and much lauded, Podium series bikes during the 2014 season. You'll be able to spot these bikes everywhere from the Tour of California to the U.S. Pro Challenge.
To get a more in-depth look at what's going on with the team, Diamondback took a trip to their training camp in Oxnard California.
Check out some photos here.
While there, they caught up with U.S. Women's National Champion Jade Wilcoxson and got to ask her a few questions.
Click here to read the article.
They also took an opportunity to visit with the team mechanics and get the scoop on the new Diamondback bikes.
Click here to see what they had to say.
And, of course, they got up close and personal with the delightful Mike "Meatball" Friedman. Apparently, he doesn't like the nickname "Meatball" though.
So it's time for a contest: Suggest a new nickname for Mike, and we'll select the best one to receive a $50 gift card – just post your suggestion in a comment below by the end of the day on Friday 3/7/14.

Brad Pitt is seen being escorted by a security guard at the Los Angeles International Airport to catch a flight out of town on Saturday (February 28).
The 45-year-old actor was recently in and out of New York to see the Broadway musical The Little Mermaid with Angie and the children.
Brad reportedly received a 10lb solid dark chocolate figurine in the shape of his face as a consolation for losing out on an Oscar. Deodorant brand AXE sent the statue and said, "We still feel your performance deserves a statue, one that's a bit sweeter."

Here are some tips about romaine hearts:
- Romaine lettuce is the preferred green for the popular Caesar salad.
- Tall and cylindrical in shape, its taste is sweetly bitter with a good crunch.
- Romaine is available year round.
- Store Romaine lettuce unwashed in a loosely closed plastic bag in the refrigerator, or wash the leaves, dry them thoroughly, and refrigerate in a tightly sealed plastic bag.
- Romaine should last for up to a week.

Hi all,
I've searched for this problem in several forums, and as I couldn't find it in any of them, I decided to start this thread. I am a magnet for weird problems.
There's this groupware webapplication that I want to test, and for that, I put it on my own personal domain using FileZilla. From there on, I had to install the application on my domain, which in part entails making some directories outside of the document root with 777 permissions. Each time I do that, and in whatever directory I put the directories, the application install can't seem to find them.
What's more striking, is what happened after I changed the permissions of all files and directories of said web application to 777, just as a test. After that, my browser rewarded me with a "The requested URL /works/trunk-clean/www/install was not found on this server." message whenever I entered some directory or file of the web application in my browser.
I'll try to locally change the permissions of the directory before uploading it again and see what happens then, but still... this is weird, isn't it? Any ideas?
There's this other thing that may be related to the above problem. If I tell FileZilla to delete the entire directory of the web application, it says repeatedly and for every subdirectory, among others, "550 Remove directory operation failed," and the directories remain on the FileZilla GUI. What's up with that?
[EDIT :] Well I did that last option, but I get similar results. The only difference is, when I copy the directories into the web application directory, and then do chmod 777 on them, I get a 403 error when I try to access them by typing the URL into the browser. So after FileZilla does a 777 on the directories (and the FileZilla GUI's directory listing says that went well), my browser greets me by saying I don't have enough permissions to access that directory "on this server". What?
Can anyone please help me on this one? I'm afraid it may take days before I can make any progress with my work because of this...

Can I install Puppy on HDD but boot from USB thumbdrive?
In the 'Beginners Guide to Installing Puppy Linux', the various combinations
are described. One (older) option is to boot from floppy but have everything
else on a hard drive partition.
Is it possible to update that option to:
- boot from a USB thumbdrive
- have everything else on a hard drive partition
(not just User data, but the actual distribution ...)
Any advice would be welcome

Greek: I'm pretty sure you can put GRUB on the USB, then route the boot to the partition.
English: Just google "install GRUB on USB", then open gParted (in the menu). Select your USB, right click it, and select "flags". Make sure the "boot" flag is checked and click OK. Once you are done, post a reply to this.

If you install puppy to a partition using the universal installer,
one of the boot options is "usb". This is nice, as you wouldn't
have to use or modify a bootloader on a drive.
Floppy, zip, etc. will work too, depending on the computer.
Inspiron 700m, Pent.M 1.6Ghz, 1Gb ram.
Msi Wind U100, N270 1.6>2.0Ghz, 1.5Gb ram.

Post subject: Boot USB to HDD system
Subject description: Grub bootloader on USB directed to load system on HDD partition
Boot from USB to HDD System
You can boot up your computer from a USB Flash drive containing Grub with the OS on a hard drive. This is useful for creating a secret installation that is normally un-bootable.
Put the files to load your OS onto the hard drive. For a Puppy Linux frugal installation, this would be vmlinuz and initrd.gz. This doesn't seem to work from a NTFS-formatted disk, but will work from a FAT32 or ext2 or ext3 partition. Install Grub to a USB Flash drive that has been formatted ext2 and made bootable. The menu.lst file will need to be adjusted.
Boot your computer to Puppy
Create a hard disk partition formatted FAT32, ext2 or ext3 to hold your system files.
If the boot partition of the drive is NTFS, and normally loads Windows, you can put your Linux files into a non-boot ext2 partition. Windows will not mount or display the ext2 partition, except in the Disk Management utility, so it is essentially hidden.
Copy your Linux system onto the new partition by copying
(if it exists) from the Puppy CD or other medium onto the new partition.
Insert a USB Flash drive and format it ext2 using Gparted. Flag as bootable.
Install Grub to the Master Boot Record of the USB drive, using the installer in Puppy.
Edit the Grub
The Grub installer seems to detect all available partitions and creates a section in the
file to boot to them. It conveniently adds the correct commands, but the drive designations may be wrong. This is because the USB drive you are using will be the primary boot disk when you boot to it later, but is not the primary boot disk while Grub is being set up.
Edit the
file in the USB drive:
If you have a Puppy system on the USB drive itself, and want the option to boot to this system, remember that the Flash drive will be the primary boot device. It will need be designated as (hd0,0), but
probably calls it (hd1,0) now, so change the
root (hd1,0)
line to
root (hd0,0)
Grub doesn't automatically call the
file, so add the line:
initrd /initrd.gz
(assuming the initrd.gz is in root of this drive)
Similarly, adjust the path for the kernel, which Grub usually assumes is in
, but I have it in
If you have a Puppy system on the local HDD, and want to load it, you will need to know if it is on the first, second or other partition on the drive. Make a "Linux bootable partition config" section to designate
If you have other partitions with installed OS, Grub will have also added "Other bootable partition config" sections. In
that points to
as (hd1,0). Since the HDD is not the primary boot device, it won't be (hd0,0). If Puppy lives on the second partition, then set root as (hd1,1) and so on.
If you have partitions with a version of Windows installed, they can be launched by making an "Other bootable partition config" section that uses "rootnoverify (hd1,0)" etc to load it. You can probably just alter the "Other bootable partition config" sections that already exist in your
Sometimes, the Windows
file doesn't like this, if the Windows installation is not on the first HDD partition. You may need to change the partition number in the boot.ini to get this to work.
So, now you can have OS installations on non-booting HDD partitions, and load them using the Grub bootloader. You can configure a PC to launch Windows from its own bootable HDD partition in a normal way, but boot to other OS installations with your USB Flash drive's bootloader. It's like being a secret agent!
Take a look at the attached menu.lst file. It may explain things better than my description.

Nice post! I'd just like to add that it works for NTFS-formatted partitions as long as they are not badly fragmented. If you make sure that the Puppy sfs files are contiguous then there are no problems.

Post subject: Maybe a problem with Windows
Subject description: bootldr or ntldr files
I just tried this out on a machine for which I had made drive image files using Driveimage XML
I imposed a Windows XP and a Windows 7 image onto two different partitions on this machine, and tried to get them to boot from a Grub-bootable USB drive. I had errors related to missing "NTLDR" and "NTDETECT.COM" files for Windows XP and missing "BOOTLDR" in Windows 7. In addition, I forgot that the BOOT.INI file refers to partition numbers starting with "1" instead of "0", so I messed up the alterations to BOOT.INI.
I had to copy NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM from another Windows XP machine. Eventually, I got the Windows XP part to work. I'll see if I can get the Windows 7 system to load tomorrow.

Post subject: It just keeps getting worse
Subject description: Windows 7 doesn't like me
OK, it's simple if all I want to do is run Puppy from somewhere on a machine that is otherwise using Windows. Without the Flash drive, the HDD bootloader will go and boot up Windows.
My problems with this were probably a result of dropping a Driveimage XML disk image into a blank partition that was not the first one, and then trying to run it. As reported before, I had to copy NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM to the drive partition with Windows XP and also mess with BOOT.INI
Worse problems with Windows 7, which was also restored from a Driveimage XML image. Windows 7 has, instead of a plain text BOOT.INI file, some other thing called BCD. This is a binary file, and so must be edited using the MS commandline utility bcdedit.exe, which is a pain.
Oh! There's a free program called EasyBCD that will do this. It's a 32-bit Windows program, and it can be run from a Windows XP environment, it turns out. I installed this to a USB drive and then ran it from within the XP bootup, then had it pull up the BCD from the partition running Windows 7.
Then changed the default boot drive designated by the BCD to D:, which is where Win7 lives.
OK, now I can boot the PC using a GRUB-loaded USB drive and choose Windows 7 from the menu.lst menu, and it goes.
More trouble when I try making it a member of a domain, though
Well, as I said, I am making more trouble for myself by having this setup:
Boot to HDD using GRUB in a small ext2 boot partition (hd0,0)
Grub then launches Windows XP on the next NTFS partition (hd0,1)
If I boot to a bootable ext2 USB drive with GRUB, I can have the option to boot up:
- Puppy on the USB drive
- Windows XP on the second HDD partition (NTFS)
- Windows 7 on the fourth HDD partition (NTFS)
Both of the Windows installs were done previously and then saved as images, then restored to their respective non-first-partition locations afterwards, necessitating restoration of NTLDR and NTDETECT.COM and editing BOOT.INI or BCD in Windows 7
So, I am doing this the REALLY, REALLY HARD WAY
Still, it's fun, and I've learned a lot. If only I could remember all the steps . . . .
Extra-special tip: When I put the Windows system on a domain, it's OK, but booting to the other Windows system won't work on the same domain:
Yes, that's another headache. I think it's because both systems have the same network name, and so one is invalidated when the other is added.
So, I am naming the two Windows systems differently, and then registering them to the domain server. This might work.
=== OK, it doesn't work. I'm giving up on this, and just having the XP system on the domain. The Windows 7 system can fend for itself.
ALSO: The whole idea was to have the Windows 7 setup as a "secret" boot option only available when I use a USB Flash GRUB-loading drive on boot. So, I don't want the HDD-booting Windows XP system to be able to access the partition hosting the Windows 7 system. It turns out, the Windows XP Disk Manager can be told to remove the drive letter designation from a partition. When this is done, it won't show up in Windows Explorer, etc.
OK, most of this is probably not interesting to anyone else here, but I hope some of it comes in handy.

Post subject: Spoke too soon. I'm good for domains
Subject description: I guess I didn't reboot enough
Forget what I said about not being able to register both systems on our domain. It turns out that I lost count of how many times I rebooted to which login, or something.
So, the machine will allow a domain login for both Windows systems with booting from either the HDD (for Windows XP) or the USB Flash drive with Grub to start up the Windows 7 system living on a partition on the HDD.
This took forever to figure out. I hope it works twice.
I'll have to look over my notes and my posts to this thread and make up a more coherent description, for my own reference at least.
Thanks for your patience.

Radioactive iodine uptake (RAIU) is a test of thyroid function. It measures how much radioactive iodine is taken up by the thyroid gland in acertain time period.
A similar test is the
Alternative Names
Iodine uptake test; RAIU
How the test is performed
You are asked to swallow a liquid or capsule containing radioactive iodine.
After a certain period of time (usually 6 and 24 hours later), you must return to the testing center so that the amount of radioactivity in the thyroid gland can be measured. This is done using a device called a gamma probe.
The probe is placed over your thyroid gland along the outside of your neck. You will be asked to lie on a table while the scanner moves over your neck.
The scan takes about 30 minutes.
How to prepare for the test
Do not eat for 8 hours before the test.
Your health care provider will instruct you, if needed, to stop taking drugs that may affect the test results.
Tell your doctor if you have:
- Diarrhea (may decrease absorption of the radioactive iodine)
- Recent x-ray test using iodine-based contrast (within the past 2 weeks)
- Too little or too much iodine in your diet
How the test will feel
There is no discomfort. You can eat beginning about 1 - 2 hours after swallowing the radioactive iodine. You can go back to a normal diet when the test is finished.
Why the test is performed
This test is done tocheck thyroid function. It is often done when blood tests of thyroid function show that you may have an overactive thyroid gland.
Normal Values
- 6 hours: 3 - 16%
- 24 hours: 8 - 25%
Note: Some laboratories only measure at 24 hours. Values may vary depending on the amount of iodine in your diet. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.
What abnormal results mean
Increased hormone levels may be due to an overactive thyroid gland caused by:
- An enlarged thyroid gland that contains nodules producing too much thyroid hormone (
toxic nodular goiter)
- A single
thyroid nodulethat is producing too much thyroid hormone Graves disease
Decreased levels may be due to:
- Factitious hyperthyroidism
- Iodine overload
Subacute thyroiditis Silent (or painless) thyroiditis
What the risks are
The amount of radioactivity is very small, and there have been no documented side effects. The amount of iodine used is less than the amount of iodine in a normal diet. However,this test is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
People with an allergy to iodine in the diet or shellfish may not be able to have this test.You may be able to have this test if you have an allergy to iodine (contrast dye). Talk to your health care provider.
Special considerations
The radioactive iodine leaves your body through your urine. You may need to take special precautions, such as flushing twice after urinating, for 24 - 48 hours after the test. Ask your health care provider or the radiology/nuclear medicineteam performing the scan.

(Corrects reference to Congress of Dominican Republic in paragraph 10.)
BOGOTA (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - Women's rights campaigners have filed a lawsuit against a hospital and doctors in the Dominican Republic for the death of a teenager, who they say was denied life-saving treatment for acute leukemia while she was pregnant.
The 16-year-old girl, known as Esperancita, died nearly a year ago in a case that sparked an outcry in the Caribbean nation, where abortion is banned under all circumstances, even when the mother's health or life is in danger.
Earlier this month, rights group Women's Link Worldwide, which is based in Spain and Colombia, and the Women and Health Collective in the Dominican Republic filed a lawsuit on behalf of the deceased girl's mother, Rosa Hernandez, who is seeking justice and compensation for her daughter's death.
Lawyers say Esperancita was not allowed to undergo chemotherapy she needed to treat the cancer because it would harm and possibly kill the foetus, which would be regarded as a crime under the country's abortion law.
"We believe the doctors treating Esperancita didn't give her opportune and adequate treatment because she was pregnant. The doctors were negligent. They decided to put the life of the foetus above Esperancita's life, which put her life at risk and ultimately had fatal consequences," said Katherine Romero, a senior lawyer with Women's Link Worldwide in Bogota.
"The case of Esperancita shows the high cost that total abortion bans have in the Dominican Republic and other countries in the region," Romero told Thomson Reuters Foundation in a telephone interview.
If the trial in the Dominican Republic goes ahead, it could take up to two years, she said.
Hernandez, Esperancita's mother, hopes that by seeking justice she can prevent more deaths among women and girls who need an abortion or treatment to save their lives while pregnant.
"No one can bring my daughter back. But I cannot allow these things to happen without bringing to light that what was done was wrong. Until this is recognised and there is justice, there is no way to prevent another mother from living the experience I endured and trying to get someone to save my daughter," Hernandez told reporters in the capital of the Dominican Republic, Santo Domingo, last week.
The Dominican Republic's influential Catholic Church along with a powerful conservative lobby in the country's Congress, are factors behind the country's stringent abortion laws, local rights group say.
In countries where abortion is totally banned, the rates of maternal mortality rise because doctors are unable or too afraid to provide life-saving treatment when it can affect a pregnancy, even when it's the only way to save a mother's life, according to rights group Amnesty International. Outright abortion bans also mean women are more likely to undergo dangerous backstreet abortions, which put their lives at risk.
The Dominican Republic is one of seven countries in Latin America - along with Nicaragua, Chile, Honduras, Haiti, Suriname and El Salvador - where abortion is completely banned, with no explicit exception written in law made to save the life of a woman.
Many other women and girls like Esperancita have died and others have had their lives put at risk as a result of the region's stringent abortion laws, says Women's Link Workwide.
In May, the case of Beatriz, an ill woman from El Salvador carrying a malformed foetus, caused global outcry when the country's court upheld the outright ban on abortion even though her life was at risk and the foetus was unlikely to survive. She later underwent a Caesarian section, and survived the procedure, though her baby died.

text: No, the sport is not called 'Zorba', but it most definitely fits for this article's title. This most unusual sport is actually called 'Zorbing', and has caught on like wildfire across the globe. And now, seeing as that the NBA has wrapped, with Golden State proving that they were determined to make amends for last season; and with the NHL closing up shop for the season with the Penguins raising that ginormous Stanley Cup high in the air, it seems like a truly good time to switch gears and talk about the sport that's getting more and more attention by the minute.

At a sneak preview of what's coming to Agritechnica 2011, AGCO's Fendt reported it will introduce three new models to the 700 Vario series: 714 Vario with 145 hp; 716 Vario with 165 hp; and 718 Vario with 180 hp. This broadens the 700 Series performance range to a total of six tractors in the series, from 145 to 240 hp.
The new models are equipped with the new VisioPlus cab, including the Fendt Variotronic, fuel-saving SCR technology. The 714 and 716 models are equipped with the ML 140 transmission and the 718 model and higher with the ML 180.
Producers in North America can expect these models to reach dealers in the first half of 2012. "We see significant growth potential in the North American market," says Roland Schmidt, Fendt marketing director. "As part of that growth, we are investing more than $172 million (EUR) in a new manufacturing facility to expand our volume."
Fendt participated in the Agritechnica Preliminary Press Conference and Exhibitor Preview, held last week in Bad Homburg, Germany. This year's Agritechnica will be held November 15 through 19 in Hannover, Germany.

Fancy Sleeping Tonight? Don't Watch This 'Rings' Trailer...
The creepy girl with long hair who crawls out of the TV is back, and if she scared you the first time, you can bet she'll scare the hell out of you again in 'Rings'.
The third film in The Ring franchise brings back the black and white video that'll pretty much end your life, but it's now available to view online. Watching the trailer above it seems to follow the same basic principle of a really unpleasant seven days following watching the video, but the feature length also involves a couple other plot twists not previously seen, with, you guessed it, very disturbing outcomes.
Watch the trailer above, if you dare!

Hey y'all would like some feedback on my new comic site...
Almost everything is still being worked on but hopefully there's enough there to give the basic idea.
Since it's kind of narrated by the main character (like in the book it's based on) I thought it would be good to try and make the site as if it was done by Harli herself hence the purple-ish background and the schoolgirl font.
Basically I'd just like to know if it works, if I need to add anything (like an about page) or change anything, are the colours too bright.
I think I need to make the comic pages themselves a bit smaller, currently they're 800px wide I think 650px would probably be better.
No need to comment on the actual comic artwork, I think we're all well aware of my flaws and I'm working on them.
Thank you.

.22 Caliber (.224) High Velocity 55 gr. SBT
In rifles chambering 22 caliber cartridges of moderate to large powder capacity, this famous bullet is perhaps the most efficient 22 caliber bullet available for varmints at long range or targets. The spitzer boat tail design provides exceptional accuracy and a flat trajectory. The high ballistic coefficient of this bullet provides less sensitivity to crosswinds and vertical winds and greater retained velocity and energy downrange. It is an excellent choice for most 22 centerfire cartridges but is at its best in the 22-250, 220 Swift, and similar high-velocity cartridges. For target shooting purposes this 55 grain spitzer boat tail has been surpassed by the heavier MatchKing bullets in 22 caliber, but in many rifles it delivers match-grade accuracy.
For handguns, because it has the Sierra high velocity construction, this bullet is too "hard" to be recommended for hunting applications. However, it features the famous Sierra accuracy and is certainly an excellent choice for long-range accuracy under all conditions. If a boat tail bullet with extremely high accuracy fits your needs for target shooting, then this bullet should be your choice.
The #1365 was introduced in 1980.

|Have used this bullet for over 45 years in many high velocity varmint rifles such as 22-250, but just discovered its stellar performance in my new Colt AR15A4. That 20 inch chrome lined bore, with stock furniture, from a bench rest, repeatedly shoots this bullet to .960" average for 4 shot groups!!! Sierra recommended this hard bullet to withstand the rotational forces of the aggressive 7 inch twist. Thanks guys!!

|After 35 years of varmint hunting I only recommend this bullet. I've tried the other "ballistic tips" but was disappointed. The Sierra 55Gr SBT is my #1 choice. I now shoot a .22-250 Ackley Imp. with 1:16 twist and this bullet gives one hole groups at 4050 FPS. I have taken ground hogs, grey fox, bobcat, coyote, Mt Lion, antelope, and mule deer with this bullet - all were "bang-flop" shots. This bullet is a killer and accurate as well.

|At 22-250 velocities (~3750fps), this bullet has to be the greatest 'all round' performer I've used or seen in 30 years of reloading, and 40 years of hunting. It performs more consistently than any ballistic tip bullet I've used, and is thoroughly convincing on everything from bunnies and foxes to pigs and deer, with a little effort put into shot placement. It just seems to impart huge hydrostatic shock on small game, as well as penetrate the bigger, harder animals. By far, the most consistent bullet I've seen in the field. I'm easily head shooting foxes at 290 yards, and instantly killing roos at over 400 yards. My first load grouped .3MOA without any load development, and I'm now getting better than that at very long ranges, where terminal performance is unequalled by anything else I've loaded. I'll never go back to ballistic tips in my 22-250, as long as this bullet is available. It's also easy to load, as it seems to be tolerant of both small and large jumps.

Giving excellent knock down power, the bullet kills cleanly with minimal meat damage, it has rapidly become my round of choice when stalking Roe in woodland margins, where shooting distances are normally under 120 yards.

Dudes, you forgot one thing. Vampires.
With their ridiculously long, if not immortal, lives (Mana in the ToAruVerse is derived from the caster's life force), Vampires are basically the demigods of the ToAruVerse.
One known character is the ideal counter to these guys, and yet no vampires have been shown so far. Suppose there's one vampire character who eventually joins the Kamijou Faction and has the hots for this certain Deep Blood girl, he should somehow resist the struggle of drinking his blood lest he dies in a horrible way.

Dude that better be a satire or something, because a vampire falling in love and resisting the urge to drink blood is about as primordial as it gets

That stone called hajar asward, a stone from heaven that actually have white color. It turn black to represent accumulated sin mankind do in this world. Other say it arborb sin of person who touch it. Actually, we do something special to it because prophet do it too. If not, it only another stone
In islam there are many type of supernatural power:
1st is mu'jizat or miracle. God give it Only to prophet or rasul. It's same as Jesus miracle
2nd is karoma, or blessing. God give it to devout people or saint.
3rd is syihir or sorcery, it come from devil. People sacrifice their faith and chance to go to heaven for worldly power
4th is khadam, it come from djinn. There many way to get it.
Maybe there's other type, but i don't know
There's many tale/myth about people with supernatural power.
One of syi'ah islam myth tell that blow from ali bin abi thalib sword's "zulfikar" will cut gaping hole in earth if not because arch angel jibril/gabriel hold his hand Or tale about a muslim commander pray make his cavalry able to run through water. Not swimming, run.
Generally, supernatural work considered great sin that must be avoided. When someone do sorcery, you certainly will burned it the 7th hell for ever (in 6th hell, you still able to come to heaven after do your verdict). Especially in arabia, Even number 2 or 5 considered impossible and they will think as sorcery. Even if it stated in islamic tale. Actually, Islam more inclined to science than magic. Science law is just another god law and we encouraged to learn about it. I won't surprised that islamic world is AC allies. But considered our condition now, not the significant one

Okay then, as prescribed by Chaos2Frozen, I would like to ask what the appropriate level for the ability to warp space is. Given:

Would the ability to see what shouldn't be seen such as thoughts, past, future, memories, IM fields, magicks, and even beings of higher planes of existence, etc. be considered a relevant ability to the to aru verse? Especially if this form of vision can do all this at once?

Well we just recently found out that some espers can see the future, and there are espers that can read minds (The Queen being the big one). Also it is possible for magicians to decect each others magic and seeing angels is possible for everyone.
I don't know if there's anyone who can do all at once but I bet some magician somewhere could pull it off.

If they're all rolled up into one then maybe, but one their own? Thoughts, past, future, memories are common, though to what extent is still unknown.
AIM fields can be detected by machines, there are also some Esper abilities that manipulate AIM.
It's seems pretty standard for most capable magicians to be able to detect magic fields, Index in particular can use her knowledge to read other flows like AIM fields.
Everybody can see Angels if they're on the same dimension.
