I already put it on my resume part-time... I wouldn't give Aaz any ideas though.
Whoow got a nice ass apartment for the next 3 years! Moving in after this summer, gonna be heaven after living in this shitty dorm room. God, it's been so long since I've had my own bathroom, I could cry. Going to make college a lot easier.
Well, my wife and I will be moving within the next two years, so I suppose one of my long-term goals is to find a new place to live. More specifically, we need to decide WHERE in the U.S. (or elsewhere) we should settle down and ultimately raise kids. I also have to make a difficult decision in the near future -- whether to abandon my short-lived career as a journalist. The writing is on the wall for the future of this industry, and I don't need to be a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.
If only I could be legitimately paid to chronicle Berserk and administrate the forum ...
Short-term goals include updating the Berserk Encyclopedia
Join the Table Tennis club (.....soon*cough*)
Save up enough money for a short 2 week visit back home (somehow I think this's going to be a challenge considering how I dropped about 200,000 Yen on AOW last night *twiddles fingers*)
Practice practice practice till my fingers ache and I can put out a demo release (.....prolly giving myself 2 years time for it, that's what I said in late 09 though )
A couple more ... it'll come to me.
THis thread depresses me... I have no future....
I wanted to have a pool in my garden back then but now I want to have some wild animals like toads, hedgehogs, lizards... along with a small waterway. The good thing is that I've built my career relatively well. For now, my goal is to be healthy. The one thing that hasn't changed for the past 13 years is my passion for Berserk. And I still keep that hope of seeing Miura some day. Maybe I'll go to Japan and lurk around Hakusensha's building everyday until he shows up!
and getting my post count per day back up to at least 1 while stealing Grail and CnC's spot on the "most time online" list in the stats page.
I can't believe CnC still holds a spot.
Short term:Get my first and second degree black belts within the next 2-3 years. That should give me plenty of experience (as well as personal confidence and skill) to possibly open my own studio. I'm still kinda taking the situation as it goes, so it's still pretty vague.Get more experience at my currrent workplace; the engine component I'm working on (EGR coolers for diesel engines) have a long future in the industry, especially as the EPA brings even more strict emission requirements. The more knowledge I gain now, the more it will benefit me down the road.Finding a place to share with some friends so we can split the rent, but even this plan might fall through since one of them is sorta on the fence. This is more of an optional one, I guessGetting a new car; my mustang already has more than 100K miles on it, and I can just see the maintenance bills coming in. Long term:Get a decent home, most likely in the suburbs somewhere. Not planning on getting married, so I'll (hopefully) have plenty of space for all my junk.Another thing is to just get out the automotive industry. Now, looking at one of my short term goals above that may seem counterintuitive, but actually my field is mostly related to heat transer between dynamic fluids and material properties, and I can imagine many places not related to automotive stuff that may be impressed enough by my resume.Get a Masters degree. This is probably optional, depending on how my job situation goes.
Well, I guess I'll be moving to Westwood and attending UCLA in the fall.
next on the agenda is prolonging death (continuous), kids, the aforementioned retirement, and then dying anyway. I think that pretty much covers it.

A review of Vegan Hot Cocoa Mixes
(with a special side show of my cute mugs)
Cocoa is a wonderful elixir, but it's also a complicated product. A lot of human and environmental suffering can go into a chocolate bar or a glass of hot cocoa, so it's important to be an informed consumer. First off, many (most?) hot cocoa mixes have milk solids in them, so those ones are not vegan. Yes, I agree - that's very irritating. But vegans aren't just concerned about our four-legged friends. In my opinion, a truly VEGAN chocolate experience must be organic, dairy-free, and fair-trade. This way you can cover all your bases of potential exploitation, and truly enjoy your warm toasty beverage with a clear conscience and good digestion.
I am a big time Hot Cocoa fan... especially since I don't really drink coffee or tea much. I noticed that I have 7 different hot cocoa brands in my cupboard, so I did a scientific taste test for all y'all's behalf (shout out to Amanda!). For this experiment I used half hemp milk and half oat milk, although I also love making hot cocoa with soy milk, almond milk, or (especially!) hazelnut milk. Yum.
Cocoa: Omanhene Hot Cocoa Mix.
Mug: Kitty Mug made for me by my Mom when I was a little girl.
Review: This cocoa comes from Ghana. It has a mild flavor, that is amplified if you use more cocoa. Still though, the complexity of the cocoa is not really there. It's a thin cocoa flavor with a slightly odd aftertaste. There are a few cocoa chunks left in the bottom of the mug.
Cocoa: Dagoba Xocolatl
Mug: Doggies mug given to me by a yoga student
Review: This hot cocoa really packs a spicy heat punch. The chocolate flavor is pretty much secondary to the heat factor. I generally use this in addition to another cocoa mix. I do like the way that the spicy heat warms me from the inside along with the temperature heat of the hot cocoa. On its own though, the cocoa flavor was not pronounced enough to be satisfying. This could be, in part, due to the large amount of cocoa in the bottom of the mug when I was done. I guess it requires a lot of stirring, maybe even sifting?
Cocoa: Sweet Earth Chai Cocoa
Mug: One of my two Tintin Mugs. I love Tintin!
Review: My most recent purchase, I had never heard of a Chai Cocoa mix before. I love the combo of chocolate and chai flavors. Made with actual cocoa and chai spices, both flavors are clear and strong - don't buy this if you don't like cardamom - but the chai is perhaps slightly dominant over the cocoa. This is another cocoa that requires thourough stirring, as the cocoa solids do tend to collect at the bottom of the mug. I also found that I needed another scoop of cocoa compared to some of the others to get the proper flavor punch.
Cocoa: Lake Champlain Organic Fair Trade Hot Cocoa
Mug: My chicken mug from the thrift store
Review: This is one of my standards, a nice clear hot cocoa flavor. It's not too sweet, and has a great dissolvability factor, so that you don't discover all your cocoa flavor hiding at the bottom of the mug when you're done. The cocoa flavor here isn't terribly complex or spicy, but it is satisfying and chocolately.
Cocoa: Trader Joe's Natural Mint Cocoa
Mug: My dancing bugs mug
Review: I got this a while back as a gift. I don't use it often, but I busted it out for this testing experiment. It's not too bad, but it's noticably less chocolatey and less complex than the others. It is indeed minty, so for all you mint-choco folks, that's a nice element. However the sweet sugar presence is a bit too strong for my tastes, supressing the cocoa flavor a bit. It's a friendly and accessible mix though, and probably good for kiddos who might not appreciate the dollar per cup ratio of some of these other selections.
Cocoa: Dagoba Hot Chocolate Mix
Mug: My other Tintin mug, which is a little better because it has Snowy on it
Review: This Dagoba cocoa has a nice, full cocoa flavor. It's sweet, but not overwhelmingly so, and the sugar-cocoa balance seems perfect. Like the other Dagoba cocoa reviewed above, I do get irritated at how much cocoa is in the bottom of the mug when I'm done. It's like I spend the whole time wishing for a richer flavor and then the last couple sips are overwhelmingly rich. I'm not sure why this happens, or if constant stirring would solve it. Believe me, I try!
Cocoa: Whole Foods Allegro Organic Peruvian 68
Mug: My little Japanese Dog mug
Review: I was surprised how much I liked this one. When I first bought it, while travelling, I was desperate for hot cocoa. But I decided I didn't much care for it. This time around, it stood out as my favorite. The cocoa flavor was the most complex and intriguing of all my selections. The appearance was lovely, with little flecks of cocoa floating around in the mug. The dissolvability was good, and the taste was both subtle and appealing. Chocolatey and sweet, and I could really notice the natural spicy tones of the cocoa. Yum.
Hot Beverage: Inka Grain Beverage
Mug: My hand-painted mug with pictures of my childhood dog, JD
Review: Finally, this isn't a cocoa beverage, but it does bear mentioning. Inka is a grain-based "coffee substitute" that I really like. Recently I've started making "mochas" of sorts - mixing cocoa and inka into my milk. The inka has a strong flavor (which is yummy, but not really anything like coffee in case you're wondering), and so not more than a small spoonful is needed. Along with some cocoa mix, it's extra yummy and satisfying.
Hope you enjoyed the reviews!

Events of 1886back to top
Current affairsThe Liberals win the election after the Irish Nationalists, including John Dillon, side with them over Home Rule, and Gladstone resumes the seat of Prime Minister. The failure of the first Home Rule Bill divides the Liberal party; those opposed to Home Rule break away to form the Liberal Unionist Party, supporting the Conservatives. This results in a Liberal loss at an emergency election called, and the Marquess of Salisbury becomes Prime Minister for the second time.
Art and scienceThe Severn Tunnel is opened, freeing up the route between London and South Wales.
Pears' soap company buy the copyright to John Millais's painting Bubbles, using it in an iconic and enduringly recognisable advertisement. Millais, however, attracted strong criticism from the art community, who protested against the debasement and commercialisation of art.
InternationalThe American poet Emily Dickinson dies, aged 54. Dickinson wrote over 1,700 poems, which first came to light in 1890, and is recognised as one of America's most important writers.
The Statue of Liberty, designed by Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, is erected on Bedloe's island. The huge copper statue, a gift from the French to the United States to commemorate the centennial of American independence, is an iconic figure of liberty, and America itself.

As my project progresses I'll be sure to let you know how much area I'd like. I plan on it being stand alone (well sort of, working on a collaborative project) but like I've done before I really don't mind building one of my edges to base8 so it all blends well.

Film Review
Away We Go
Little film with big names mixes comedy, drama and pregnancy
Away We Go looks and feels like yet another entry in a long, unbroken line of admirably glum/funny, nerd/hipster-centric indie film dramedies (Rushmore, Roger Dodger, The Squid and the Whale, Garden State, Juno, Margot at the Wedding, Gigantic to rattle off just a few). As the film goes on, though, something starts to feel different. There's something percolating under the surface here. Something more than just the impressive cast and witty humor in evidence. The other shoe drops when the end credits roll. (The opening credits consist solely of a title card, dropped some 10 minutes into the feature.) Amid the humble scroll of names are the identities of the director (Sam Mendes, the man behind American Beauty, Jarhead and Revolutionary Road) and the writers (Dave Eggers & Vendela Vida, sometimes referred to as "the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie of the literary world"). That's some mighty important info to bury in the end credits.
Film Review
The Proposal
Romcom covers familiar ground, still unearths some laughs
One of the problems with romantic comedies is the dogged death grip they maintain on genre conventions. When's the last time you saw a romantic comedy that avoided the "meet cute," the "big lie" and the "climactic race to the airport for last-minute reconciliation"? Sometimes it makes me wonder if When Harry Met Sally ... is the only romantic comedy to ever actually get things right. Apparently, somebody broke that particular mold back in 1989, because we've been stuck with Maid in Manhattan/Made of Honor crapola ever since.

Viral Load
"Tosh.0" on Comedy Central, "Web Soup" on G4, "DJ & The Fro" on MTV
You know all those wacky viral videos your friends cop off the Internet and e-mail to you at work? Wouldn't it be great to watch those again in the comfort of your own living room? ... What do you mean, "Not really?" That's not the answer TV wants to hear right now. Realizing they're free and plentiful, networks are cooking up a whole mess of shows featuring those short cellphone clips of people getting racked in the roundberries, puking up improper food products and doing weird things on foreign TV game shows.

If you're reading this, you have a blog, a podcast, or an event that you're looking to drum up some kind of resources for.
Maybe you're an e-sports organization looking for some help or a guild that's looking to ease a few financial burdens. I know how costly and expensive it can be.
One of the questions that often get asked is how do I attract and get sponsors for <something>? I can't offer you a definitive step-by-step guide or formula on how to get sponsorship. But having been on both sides of the sponsorship question (both reviewing sponsorship requests and negotiating with companies for sponsors for events/organizations), there are a few things you really need to keep in mind to make yourself more attractive to them.
Not all sponsorship arrangements have to involve money. Instead consider things like:
- Gaming peripherals
- Hardware
- Voice servers
- Guild hosting websites
- Web hosting services (For your blog or podcast)
- Discount agreements
Know your audience
If you write a blog, do you know what the demographics of your readers are?
How many of them are male?
How many of them are between the ages of 16 – 25?
How many listeners does your podcast get?
What your RSS subscriber count is?
How many page views you get per month?
What your top 5 most popular articles are?
Having this data is extremely important. The question you need to keep in the back of your mind is how does sponsoring you help them with their message?
Provide evidence and data. Interested potential sponsors will ask for data about traffic and page views. If you don't have Google Analytics set up, start with that.
Case Study: World of Matticus
Not many of you may remember this, but years ago I came really close to shutting down WoM. Hosting bills were gradually climbing up. It got to the point where I almost had to pay $300 a month to keep the site going. Luckily, I was able to negotiate a web hosting sponsorship. Having traffic information allowed the two of us to come to an agreement because they were able to allocate the necessary resources needed as the audience (in other words, you guys) continued to scale and grow.
Know your sponsors
What is the goal of the company you want to partner with? Are they trying to raise subscriptions? Are they gunning for increased awareness and exposure? Do you know what kind of players are interested in their products? If you have an idea of what their sales goals are, you can help factor that in with your proposal in how you can help them with their challenges.
What can you offer?
Business is still business. You need to be able to exchange value for value. How can you ensure that your sponsor's message reaches the desired audience? There's a few ways you can do that.
One of the easiest methods is to place a logo and a link to your sponsors anyone on your site. Graphical banners do the job. Logos can be placed in the site header. Another good spot is to place them on the background image of the site (and it'll appear prominently to anyone on widescreen monitors).
If you have a podcast, mention here and there ("We'd like to thank our sponsors …").
If you run a livestream, place their logo on the stream itself somewhere out of the way or change the background image of the page your stream is on to reflect them.
Work with videos? Place their logo at the front and at the end of your productions.
Attending events in person? Have any custom gear? See if you can get their brand embedded on your shirts.
Does your guild run a ton of pickup raids or organized PvP? If your group gets a ton of pickup or cross realm traffic, create a message of the day in Ventrilo that mentions them. Consider changing the name of the waiting room channel. Think of different methods to help your sponsors with their message.
Case study: Fnatic and Team 3D
Fnatic.RaidCall changed the name of their organization to help draw awareness to Raidcall. Years ago when Counter-strike was at it's height, I believe Team 3d changed their in game tags from 3D.KSharp to 3D.nVidia :: Ksharp. This was during the finals of one of the CPL events where thousands of players were watching the game live. Can you imagine the exposure nVidia received?
Image matters
Sponsors will associate with organizations that project a certain image that they are trying to appeal to. Be mindful of the targeted demographic that they are trying to reach. Be mindful of any negative or abusive language. Adjust your tone so that it falls in line with what your ideal sponsors are looking for.
Case study: Capcom and Tekken
There was an incident several weeks ago when rampant trash talking between two competitors during a match resulted one of them dropping out. Miranda forfeited due to mental distress from the verbal abuse that Aris was delivering. Penny Arcade had an excellent editorial piece about some of that verbal abuse. I pulled off a double take when that same individual then said that "The sexual harassment is part of the culture [and] if you remove that from the fighting game community, it's not the fighting game community". While I don't know if there was any fallout after those comments were made, I'm pretty sure potential sponsors would be wary of associating with any organizations with that type of mentality.
A better example might be that Conservative radio show guy. How many advertisers pulled out again?
Anyway, the above points are a topic for another post entirely.
Measure it
Make sure you have a way to help your sponsors measure any positive benefits. Can't attract any sponsors unless they can determine how well the exposure is doing them for them. One such example would be a customized link which tracks how many referrals came from your site and how many of those referrals signed up for a product or service.
Look out for them
Your job is to ensure that your sponsors are taken care of. Help them out with whatever they need. Make sure you deliver on the terms that you have agreed upon. Cultivate those long term relationships. Get and provide feedback on what worked and what didn't. If you're running an event such as a tournament, invite them out again next year while the whole ordeal remains in the front of their minds.
Most importantly, remember to thank them!
Good luck in your efforts!

Whole IgG antibodies are isolated as intact molecules from antisera by immunoaffinity chromatography. They have an Fc portion and two antigen binding Fab portions joined together by disulfide bonds and therefore they are divalent. The average molecular weight is reported to be about 160 kDa. The whole IgG form of antibodies is suitable for the majority of immunodetection procedures and is the most cost effective.
Store freeze-dried powder at 2-8°C. When ready to use, rehydrate with indicated volume of d. water and centrifuge if not clear. Product is stable for about 6 weeks at 2-8°C as an undiluted liquid. Prepare working dilution fresh each day. For extended storage after rehydration, add an equal volume of glycerol (ACS grade or better) for a final concentration of 50%, and store at -20°C as a liquid. Note: after the addition of glycerol, the concentration of protein and buffer salts is one-half of the original. Alternatively, aliquot and freeze the product at -70°C or below in the absence of glycerol. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.
Expiration date: one year from date of rehydration. However, the expiration date may be extended if the product is stored according to the recommendation and the test results are acceptable for its intended use.
1:50 - 1:200 for most applications
Dilution factors are presented in the form of a range because the optimal dilution is a function of many factors, such as antigen density, permeability, etc. The actual dilution used must be determined empirically.
FITC (Fluorescein isothiocyanate) is the form of fluorescein used for conjugation to all of our antibodies and purified proteins, with the exception of streptavidin. Fluorescein conjugates absorb light maximally at 492 nm and fluoresce maximally at 520 nm. Although less bright than other green-fluorescing dyes, FITC is still a widely used fluorophore due to its long history. The major disadvantage of fluorescein is its rapid photobleaching (fading), which can be mitigated by the use of an anti-fading agent in the mounting medium. A better choice for many applications involving FITC is Alexa Fluor® 488 because it is brighter and more photostable.

This is the Curried Yellow Split Pea Soup from the Real Food Daily cookbook. What a great cookbook, by the way! I definitely recommend it for any vegan out there. This soup was a really nice variation on classic Split Pea, with carrots, onion, parsnip... and a few other goodies.
Crepes are a popular dessert item in Croatia, and I got jealous watching Musty eat crepes after dinner... so I've been thinking about crepes for a few weeks now! So, I made up a whole huge batch of crepes, based on the recipe from VwaV.
We ate our crepes along with some delicious warm Apple-Pear-compote (also from the Real Food Daily cookbook). Very easy, and very delicious on the crepes... especially with a little bit of Earth Balance too. MMMMMM
Two nights ago I made Roasted Winter Vegetables from RFD. FAN-tastic! I really, really recommend this recipe, great seasoning! Potatoes, sweet potatoes, red onion, turnip, carrots, and butternut squash (from our own garden!). It was great (except the turnip, which neither of us liked) Here are the veggies all cut up.
And here they are, all roasted and yummy. Even the leftovers were delish.
I also made this great recipe called "Mexicali Chop" from the RFD cookbook. It's a very tasty salad with beans, bell peppers, onions, corn, tomatoes, lettuce... a few other goodies, and some lime cumin vinagrette. Very nice.
Well, last night my cold and my jet lag really got the best of me (and my appetite), and I had some Soken ramen. I know, I know,... not very nutritious, but sometimes it's just what hits the spot when I'm all stuffy and feeling icky.
And finally, this is what happens if you take a vegan to Eastern Europe for a month, and then bring her back home to Santa Cruz and set her loose at the Farmer's Market! Craziness! I went nuts. We are having a birthday party for my mom tomorrow, so luckily I had an excuse to buy tons of stuff. Collards, cherry tomatoes, strawberries, bell peppers, eggplants, apples, and so on and so on. I love California!
I'll get some pics of whatever I make for dinner tomorrow! :)

The Les Aspin Center for Government: a rich history
Marquette University's Les Aspin Center for Government was originally established by Rev. Timothy J. O'Brien, Ph.D. In 1988, he began to coordinate internships in congressional offices and on political campaigns for interested students. Though these internships originally took place in Milwaukee, there soon developed enough interest to explore an academic program in Washington, D.C.
The first summer program took place that same year, when 27 students joined Father O'Brien in Washington, D.C. for what was then called the Marquette University Washington Program. During the next several years, Father O'Brien brought nearly 35 students each summer to the center for course work and internships on Capitol Hill. The efforts of individuals like Congressman Gerald Kleczka were instrumental in building the program's foundation.
The program expanded, and by 1993 it conducted its first semester session. Father O'Brien, along with distinguished Marquette faculty members — including George Reedy, journalism professor and former press secretary to President Lyndon Johnson — taught courses on the United States Congress, the presidency, interest groups and the role of media in politics.
Forever changed, forever distinguished
The Washington, D.C. program was forever changed when Marquette hired Les Aspin in 1994. The former secretary of defense returned to Wisconsin — the state he had represented in the House of Representatives for more than 20 years — and joined Marquette's faculty, of which he had been a member in the Economics Department before entering politics.
As Marquette's distinguished professor of international policy, Aspin began working closely with Father O'Brien to expand the university's presence in Washington, D.C. and fully develop the internship program. That required a building, and a property for the center was soon identified to provide classroom, office and meeting space. The center is located on East Capitol Street in Washington, D.C., just five blocks from the U.S. Capitol.
Aspin died suddenly in May 1995, just one year after returning to Marquette. At his funeral, held at Church of the Gesu on Marquette's campus, it was announced that the D.C. program would be renamed in his honor.
Under the direction of Father O'Brien, the Les Aspin Center began to offer year-round academic programming.
Global directions
The work, however, of the Les Aspin Center, was not complete.
Beginning in 1995, the center's efforts to train and educate went global. That year, Father O'Brien took a group of Marquette students to Africa as part of a course about comparative democracies. Since then, students during winter break have traveled to Europe — London, Rome, Athens and Dublin — and Africa — Kenya, Tanzania and Ghana — to study and observe political processes.
A tremendously successful outgrowth of this first trip was the development of an effort to educate activists in African politics. With the support of the United States Agency for International Development, the Aspin Center began a series of democracy training programs for African leaders. Guided by a belief that problems that plague the continent — poverty, corruption, instability and HIV/AIDS — must be addressed through governance and the transition to democracy, these training programs target individuals who are active in their communities and dedicated to positive change.
The first program in 1996 brought 18 of these leaders from Kenya to study at the Aspin Center. Since then, the program has continued to expand, training more than 400 African leaders from Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Ghana, Mali, Nigeria, and Liberia. Several participants have been elected to local and national office in their home countries.
Recognizing leadership and service
One aspect of the center's activities is honoring distinguished public servants. In 1995, the first Les Aspin Center Democracy Award was presented to Ambassador Richard Holbrooke. Since then, the award has been given to many notable public servants. The award recognizes individuals who have made lasting contributions to the principles of democracy and principled leadership.
The Aspin Center has also given the Les Aspin Center Distinguished Public Service Award to those who have demonstrated a commitment to a life of service.
Local intern initiative
Although the Les Aspin Center continued to flourish, it became evident that some Marquette students could not travel to Washington, D.C. So in 2005, the Kleczka Internship Program, a local initiative, was developed, inspired by retired U.S. Congressman Jerry Kleczka and his desire to mentor future Wisconsin community leaders.
Housed on Marquette's campus in Milwaukee, the Kleczka program selects interns from all fields of study and they are placed in city, county and state legislative offices. Like the successful academic model of the Les Aspin Center, the Kleczka Internship Program combines hands-on internship experiences with classroom instruction to maximize the learning opportunity.
The Les Aspin Center is committed to instilling in its students the values of leadership, service and academic excellence. In the Jesuit tradition, it strives for the full development — intellectual, spiritual, social, and professional — of its participants. Its mission is not simply to educate. Rather, it prepares individuals for lives dedicated to the betterment of others.

Merril Teller has been a Storm Team 12 Meteorologist at KWCH since September, 1981.
Merril began his broadcasting career doing weather reports and forecasts on the student radio station at his alma mater, Rutgers University.
Next came more radio forecasting at the University of Oklahoma where he was a graduate meteorology student. While attending OU, Merril did part time meteorology work for a private weather company in Oklahoma City. That job included forecasting for many different industries, government bodies, radio and television stations. It also led to his first work in television weathercasting.
After Oklahoma City, Merril spent 2 ½ years as chief meteorologist at KAUZ-TV in Wichita Falls, Texas. In 1976, Merril was awarded the Texas Associated Press Broadcasters award for Best Weathercast in a small market. From Wichita Falls it was back to OKC working both in private weather and on television. Merril continued his journey northward taking the job at what was then KTVH and is now, of course, KWCH. For his large body of work, Merril was inducted into the Kansas Association of Broadcasters Hall of Fame in 2008.
Merril has been married since 1976 and has a son who is a commercial pilot. In his spare time he enjoys bowling, refereeing youth soccer and watching sports both in person and on television.

Garfield regards Jon's accusations that he is disgusting as merely a statement of fact, rather than a complaint or criticism, as indicated by the cat's retort which adds... well, insult to insult. That Jon's observation has no effect is hardly surprising, since the "prank" that is belching in someone's face is enacted because it is disgusting. Garfield counters with not just another fact, but by 1) communicating that the horrible thing Jon has just experienced has the further consequence of depleting household supplies, (2 implying that Jon should now feel obligated to replenish the soda, which in turn (3 sets up the circumstances for Garfield to blow stomach air in Jon's face again.
This strip is about abuse cycles. Except, of course, that Garfield will never demonstrate remorse, so when Jon inevitably enters the one-man-honeymoon stage and buys more soda, he is not just manifesting his own self-esteem issues, but accepting his role in Garfield's Theater of Cruelty.

Black Death takes place somewhere in Europe inside a small town with a dark past. This particular town was hit hard with the black plague during the medieval times. Inside this town there is a castle which the villagers believe that it held hundreds of citizens affected by the plague inside of it. Almost to act as an isolation center from the rest of the village. This castle has been abandoned for more than almost 500 years and recent claims tell how they have spotted people entering this castle and not coming out of it. One brave villager known as Edward Castman has decided to venture into this castle to see for himself what lies inside this tomb of darkness and figure out who or what is still lurking inside of it.

GHB Addiction Rehab
Here at Rehab Recovery we are dedicated to helping you find the right rehabilitation centre to help you or those you care about with ghb addiction.
Rehab centres are normally the safest and most effective way to make a full recovery and be able to start a healthy new life. The main thing to remember about rehabilitation is that it treats an entire person, not just their addiction to GHB.
Rehab for GHB Addiction
As with any drug addiction, treatment should begin with full detox in a supervised environment with proper medical support. This is then followed by a full rehab programme, usually residential although outpatient options are available.
The rehab programme is normally heavily therapeutic and is designed to allow patients to understand the nature of their addiction to GHB, how and why they became addicted (including underlying psychological or emotional issues) and how to move into a life which is free of GHB.
Most GHB rehab programmes will be residential while others may be outpatient-based, although most tend to involve a routine of individual and group therapy sessions, allowing people with similar problems to share their feelings and situations as well as exchange useful tips and healthy coping strategies.
It is often very valuable for the families and friends of GHB addicts to be involved in the rehab process. Sometimes family counselling is needed. GHB can have a high relapse rate so addiction aftercare is also necessary to prevent the problem from occurring again in the future.
Find The Right Rehab Centre
To discuss which GHB addiction rehabilitation options will work best for your needs and circumstances, just give us a call today on 08000 886 686 and we will be happy to talk you through the best options to help you get onto the road to recovery.

Appeal from Russell District Court; MIKE KEELEY, judge. Opinion filed February 17, 2006. Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded with directions.
Michael S. Holland and Michael S. Holland II, of Holland and Holland, of Russell, for appellants.
Daniel W. Krug, county attorney, for appellee.
Before CAPLINGER, P.J., JOHNSON, J., and KNUDSON, S.J.
KNUDSON, J.: This forfeiture action was commenced under the Kansas Standard Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Act (K.S.A. 60-4101 et seq.). Ahmed Mohamed-Abdulla-Omar Al-Haj (hereafter "Al-Haj") appeals the district court's order forfeiting a 1998 Chevrolet Tahoe and $4,453. Two issues are presented: (1) Is compliance with K.S.A. 60-4111(b) directory or mandatory; and (2) must there be a probable cause finding to support forfeiture under K.S.A. 60-4116 regardless of whether a proper claim has been filed?
We conclude the provisions of K.S.A. 60-4111(b) are mandatory and Al-Haj failed to file a proper claim. We further conclude the district court properly struck Al-Haj's claim but failed to enter findings of fact to support a forfeiture order. Consequently, we vacate the forfeiture order and remand for a determination of probable cause to support forfeiture. If there is a finding of no probable cause, disposition of the property shall be in compliance with the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, K.S.A. 58-3934 et seq.
Underlying Circumstances
On May 20, 2003, Russell County Sheriff Sergeant Kelly Schneider was informed by Kansas Highway Patrol Trooper Andy Dean that Dean had stopped a van in which 332 pounds of pseudoephedrine tablets were found. Dean told Schneider he believed a 1993 red Ford pickup with Ohio plates and a black vehicle were traveling with the van. Schneider, who was patrolling Interstate 70 in Russell County, Kansas, located a black Chevy Tahoe driving in front of a Ford pickup matching the description. Both vehicles were stopped. Al-Haj was the driver of the Tahoe.
The vehicles and their occupants were transported to the Russell County Sheriff's Office, where the vehicles were searched. Inside the Ford, officers found 198 pounds of "pseudoephed" tablets. A small bag of marijuana, two marijuana cigarettes, and ZigZag rolling papers were found in the Tahoe. A search of Al-Haj produced $4,453 cash. The driver of the Ford had $2,165 cash. The Ford driver's wallet held a piece of paper on which Al-Haj's first name and phone number were written.
Sometime around May 21, 2003, the State filed a notice of pending forfeiture of the vehicles and cash under K.S.A. 60-4109. The State alleged the vehicles and cash were used in furtherance of or were proceeds of transactions in violation of the Uniform Controlled Substance Act, K.S.A. 65-4101 et seq. On May 29, 2003, Al-Haj filed a claim to $4,453 and the Tahoe pursuant to K.S.A. 60-4111. The State then filed an in rem forfeiture action under K.S.A. 60-4113 of the Kansas Standard Asset Seizure and Forfeiture Act, K.S.A. 60-4101 et seq. The State's complaint noted Al-Haj's claim on the property but said it believed the claim was invalid.
At the bench trial on the forfeiture, the State argued Al-Haj's claim should be denied because it did not meet all the requirements of K.S.A. 60-4111. Specifically, the State argued Al-Haj's claim failed to include "the date, the identity of the transferor, and a detailed description of the circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the interest in the property" which K.S.A. 60-4111(b)(4) requires. The district court did not deny the claim at trial but proceeded to hear the evidence. After trial, the district court issued a written decision denying the claim and forfeiting the property. Al-Haj timely appeals.
Sufficiency of the Claim
Al-Haj acknowledges his claim was not in compliance or even substantial compliance with the requirements of K.S.A. 60-4111(b). He contends the statute is directory, not mandatory. Interpretation of a statute is a question of law permitting unlimited review on appeal. See Cooper v. Werholtz, 277 Kan. 250, 252, 83 P.3d 1212 (2004).
K.S.A. 60-4111(b) states in material part that a claim
"shall be in affidavit form . . . and shall set forth all of the following:
. . . .
"(3) The nature and extent of the claimant's interest in the property.
"(4) The date, the identity of the transferor, and a detailed description of the circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the interest in the property."
Al-Haj's affidavit in support of his claim states: "The date, the identity of the transferor, and a detailed description of the circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the interest in the motor vehicle is as set forth on title to same showing claimant as owner." No title was attached to the affidavit; Al-Haj did not provide a copy of the title at trial. Al-Haj never attempted to explain his acquisition of or interest in the cash.
In its decision to deny the claim for failing to meet K.S.A. 60-4111, the district court stated:
"Under the facts and circumstances of this case, the claimant, Mr. Ahmed Al-Haj, says he owns the vehicle and you can verify this from the title. He fails to provide a title to the plaintiff or for the court's review. The statute requires the claimant to make that presentation and upon his failure to do so, he has not met the elements of the statute.
"Further, in regards to the cash, there is no mention at any time, in the affidavit or claim, as to how this cash in his wallet came into the possession of the claimant. He has an affirmative duty under the statute to provide a detailed description of the circumstances of the claimant's acquisition of the interest in the property. By failing to do so, he has failed to properly follow the statute, and therefore, his claim cannot be valid."
Al-Haj does not challenge the district court's findings, only its conclusions of law. He contends the district court erred because the requirements of K.S.A. 60-4111(b) are directory, not mandatory. Al-Haj would ask us to conclude his failure to comply does not prevent standing in a subsequent forfeiture proceeding.
Canons of construction in determining whether a provision is mandatory or directory are addressed in Wilcox v. Billings, 200 Kan. 654, 657-58, 438 P.2d 108 (1968). The court stated:
"No absolute test exists by which it may be determined whether a statute is directory or mandatory. Each case must stand largely on its own facts, to be determined on an interpretation of the particular language used. Certain rules and aids to construction have been stated. The primary rule is to ascertain legislative intent as revealed by an examination of the whole act. Consideration must be given to the entire statute, its nature, its object, and the consequences which would result from construing it one way or the other. It has been said whether a statute is directory or mandatory depends on whether the thing directed to be done is of the essence of the thing required, or is a mere matter of form. Accordingly, when a particular provision of a statute relates to some immaterial matter, as to which compliance with the statute is a matter of convenience rather than substance, or where the directions of a statute are given merely with a view to the proper, orderly, and prompt conduct of business, it is generally regarded as directory, unless followed by words of absolute prohibition; and a statute is regarded as directory where no substantial rights depend on it, no injury can result from ignoring it, and the purpose of the legislature can be accomplished in a manner other than that prescribed, with substantially the same results. On the other hand, a provision relating to the essence of the thing to be done, that is, to matters of substance, is mandatory, and when a fair interpretation of a statute, which directs acts or proceedings to be done in a certain way, shows that the legislature intended a compliance with such provision to be essential to the validity of the act or proceeding, or when some antecedent and prerequisite conditions must exist prior to the exercise of power or must be performed before certain other powers can be exercised, the statute must be regarded as mandatory. (82 C.J.S., Statutes, § 376)." 200 Kan. at 657-58.
K.S.A. 60-4102(g) provides: '"Notice of pending forfeiture' means a written statement by the plaintiff's attorney following a seizure of property but prior to the filing of a judicial complaint against such property allowing for an administrative resolution to claims." (Emphasis added.) K.S.A. 60-4113(c) provides that "[o]nly an owner of or an interest holder in the property who has timely filed a proper claim may file an answer in an action in rem." (Emphasis added.) Both of these provisions are consistent with and supportive of legislative intent that the requirements of K.S.A. 60-4111(b) be interpreted as mandatory and an antecedent to filing an answer in the forfeiture proceeding.
A somewhat analogous statute is K.S.A. 2005 Supp. 12-105b that requires presentation of a detailed notice of claim against a municipality prior to the commencement of litigation under the Kansas Tort Claims Act. In Bell v. Kansas City, Kansas, Housing Authority, 268 Kan. 208, 210, 992 P.2d 1233 (1999), the court held the detailed requirements for a proper claim were mandatory, not directory. The court interpreted the statute is to "sufficiently advise the proper municipality . . . of the time and place of the injury and give the municipality an opportunity to ascertain the character and extent of the injury sustained. [Citations omitted.]" 268 Kan. at 210. Obviously the analogy cannot be taken too far. Compliance with K.S.A. 2005 Supp. 12-105b is a condition precedent to commencement of litigation, whereas a determination of whether a party has legal standing in an in rem action is not. However, whatever the dissimilarities, the fact remains both laws are essential to either the commencement or participation in a subsequent proceeding.
Al-Haj relies on our holding in State v. Residential Unit & Real Estate, 26 Kan. App. 2d 260, Syl., 983 P.2d 865, rev. denied 268 Kan. 893 (1999), interpreting K.S.A. 60-4113(g) to be directory. K.S.A. 60-4113(g) provides in an in rem proceeding "the hearing on the claim shall be held within 60 days after service of the petition unless continued for good cause." In essence, a majority of the panel concluded this provision to be directory, not mandatory. The court reasoned: "Here, K.S.A. 60-4113(g) is a matter of convenience rather than substance. It gives a view to the proper, orderly, and prompt conduct of business; has no words of absolute prohibition; and does not provide a penalty for noncompliance." 26 Kan. App. 2d at 263.
The Residential Unit decision is not persuasive authority for Al-Haj's argument. K.S.A. 60-4113(g) concerns scheduling a proceeding for hearing within a certain time; it does consist of substantive content going directly to the essence of the litigation. This distinction was not lost on the State that also cited Residential Unit to support its argument that the requirements of K.S.A. 60-4111(b) are mandatory.
We acknowledge forfeiture proceedings are governed by the Kansas Code of Civil Procedure. City of Lenexa v. A Maroon 1978 Chevrolet, 15 Kan. App. 2d 333, 336, 807 P.2d 694 (1991). However, Al-Haj's argument that "the trial court should have applied K.S.A. 60-102 and K.S.A. 60-208(f) to Mr. Al-Haj's pleadings and/or claim . . . should have been liberally construed and adjudicated on its merits," is not persuasive. K.S.A. 60-4111(b) is a claims statute that precedes actual litigation. The Code of Civil Procedure does not address the substantive issue of claim content. Al-Haj's argument would have this court disregard settled canons of construction to determine if a particular provision of law is mandatory or directory.
We hold the requirements of K.S.A. 60-4111(b) to be mandatory, not directory. As already demonstrated, various provisions of the Act direct that a valid claim must contain certain, specific information, crucial to facilitating prefiling consideration of an owner or interest holder's claim. A failure to file a proper claim deprives a claimant of standing to file an answer and litigate his or her claim in the subsequent in rem forfeiture proceeding.
The Forfeiture Order
Al-Haj also contends the district court erred in denying his claim because the district court must first find the property is subject to forfeiture. After the district court struck Al-Haj's claim, it held:
"The court further finds that based upon the legal determination the claimant failed to properly follow the statutory requirements to make his claim, it is unnecessary to go further and make a determination on the merits of the case as to whether the forfeiture should be granted. The court finds that issue is moot as a result of this legal determination and ruling."
K.S.A. 60-4116(a) provides:
"If no proper claims are timely filed in an action in rem, or if no proper answer is timely filed in response to a complaint, the plaintiff's attorney may apply for an order of forfeiture and allocation of forfeited property pursuant to K.S.A. 60-4117, and amendments thereto. Upon a determination by the court that the seizing agency's written application established the court's jurisdiction, the giving of proper notice, and facts sufficient to show probable cause for forfeiture, the court shall order the property forfeited to the seizing agency."
K.S.A. 60-4116(a) requires that the district court enter a probable cause finding. Because that was not done in the underlying proceeding, we vacate the order of forfeiture and remand to the district court for a probable cause determination based on the evidence that was presented.
Our conclusion gives Al-Haj a hollow victory because of his failure to file a proper claim. If there is a finding of probable cause, the district court shall order the property forfeited to the seizing agency. If there is no finding of probable cause, disposition shall be in compliance with the Uniform Unclaimed Property Act, K.S.A. 58-3934 et seq.
The district court's order striking Al-Haj's claim is affirmed. The district court's order of forfeiture is vacated for a probable cause determination to support forfeiture.
Affirmed in part, reversed in part, and remanded for further proceedings.

Famous Chocolate Refrigerator Roll
This is the classic. I've seen variations adding a variety of flavorings or a little sugar to the whipped cream and fresh fruit or candies as a topping. So get creative. In the refrigerator overnight, the wafers, moistened by the whipped cream, become cakey in consistency.
Yield: Makes 14 servings
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pint (2 cups) whipping cream, chilled
1 package (9-ounce) Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers
In a large mixing bowl, combine whipping cream and vanilla. Beat with electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
Spread a teaspoon of whipped cream onto each wafer, remembering you need a lot for frosting. Stack wafers together, then stand on edge on a serving platter to make a log. Frost with remaining whipped cream.
Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
Cut dessert diagonally into 14 slices. Store leftover cake in refrigerator.

Football recruiting also is going strong right now as Aquinas quarterback/wide receiver Jim Jones verbally committed to UTEP last week, according to Scout.com.
The 6-foot-1, 177-pound Jones, a first-team all-Sun pick at wide receiver last year, led the county with 64 receptions for 1,307 yards and 15 touchdowns. He has played much of this season at quarterback for the Falcons and has run and passed for eight touchdowns.

A few weeks back, I was perusing upcoming conferences likely to expand my knowledge of all things blogging-related, when one in particular caught my eye: The renowned SOBCon would be taking place in Portland Oregon this fall.
An event that I'd long wanted to attend in a town I'd long wanted to visit.
How much more tempting could this be? But could I justify it?
I had no trouble coming up with reasons to take a pass: Who knew what my schedule would look like in September? What about the cost? Was I even far enough along with my ideas for the trip to be useful?
But while the cost-benefit analysis seemed anything but clear, I found myself recalling some words of advice from LinkedIn co-founder Reid Hoffman. In a career guide dubbed The Start-Up of You, Hoffman proposes setting up an "Interesting People" fund. The idea is to allocate a certain amount of money each year to cultivating relationships. That way, when a great opportunity comes along, you're less likely to angst over whether to act on it. You've identified the priority. You've already made the commitment.
Why is this so important? Because the more conversations we have, the more people we meet, the more we expand our universe of possibilities. "You won't encounter accidental good fortune – you won't stumble upon opportunities that rocket your career forward – if you're lying in bed," Hoffman and his co-author Ben Casnocha note. "When you do something, you stir the pot and introduce the possibility that seemingly random ideas, people, and places will collide and form new combinations and opportunities."
Rocketing images aside, this made total sense to me. My decision suddenly seemed far simpler. Reader, I registered.
Only some time later did it occur to me that I'd already known everything that Hoffman was telling me. I'd even written about it more than once not too long ago – about the magic of cause and effect and erring towards connection. It was then I realized that what I'd needed wasn't guidance but a green light, permission to ignore the voices of doubt and do what I knew felt right.

2-Menelik Watson-RT/G-future RT
3-Malliciah Goodman-Good Height, ridiculously long arms. DT/DE-A guy who may be able to play a couple of positions but maybe fits best at 5T or 3T.
4-Zac Dysert-QB-whether we trade Flynn or not we need a solid future backup that can run the zone read on occasion.
5a-TJ McDonald-OLB/SS-As Luker and I have brought up I think he is our future WLB.
5b-Corey Fuller-WR-big, fast, long arms. Sounds like he is Raw but doesn't need to be a star right away.
6-Earl Watford-OG-Big, athletic OG
7a-Aaron Hester-CB-Honestly I just picked a tall CB that should be available and USC offered him when Pete was still the coach there.
7b-Travis Long-OLB/LEO-Just a good football player who can play OLB or LEO in Pete's system.
7c-Sam McGuffie-RB/WR/KR-Freak athlete who was very highly rated out of high school in texas. USC offered him when Pete was there. Can be our third RB, a slot WR and our kick/punt returner.

Marco Sturm – A Goal and an Assist.
Nice debut, kid.
(Photo courtesy canucks.com)
The Canucks and Flames played almost simultaneous split-squad games last night, one in Calgary and one in Vancouver. Here's the CanucksArmy recap of the game from Vancouver, as the Canucks came back to down the Flames 4-3 at Rogers Arena.
Here's What Happened
1st Period
Cgy 1-0 Van – PP. Nice, clever pass by Michael Ferland to Niklas Hagman. Aaron Rome looked bloody awful as he was caught watching Hagman stroll leisurely around him. Hagman then went clear across the crease and put the puck far side along the ice past Cory Schneider. Uh, no poke check there, Cory? I know it was a terrific play by Hagman. It really was. But put your stick out there, kid.
Van 1-1 Cgy – The play started with point shot from Rome. The shot on net led to a rebound. A nice play from Marco Sturm to spin off his check, quick release on his shot and he slotted it short side.
Van 2-1 Cgy – SH – Beautiful goal against the run of play while shorthanded. Tanev bolted up ice, accepted a perfect pass from Sturm and potted one past Irving. Lovely goal.
Lots of Canucks penalties in the first. 4 total penalties to kill in the first period. Aaron Rome looked to redeem himself after looking pylon-esque on that first goal.
2nd Period
Cgy 2-2 Van. PP. Beautiful one-handed tip-in by Mikael Backlund on a pass from Sven Baertschi.
Cgy 3-2 Van. Hagman with a brutal goal. Cory Schneider was not playing his angles properly at all. Hagman bloops it in.
Goalie switch. Schneider out. Lack in. Within only a few moments of restarting play, Eddie Lack made a great sliding stop on Curits Glencross. Later in the period, Adam Polasek made a great diving defensive play on Baertschi, the only good play Polasek made in the game, really.
3rd Period
Van 3-3 Cgy. 2 on 1 from the Canucks. Nicklas Jensen with a breakout pass to Steve Pinizzotto, who went up ice quickly with Jordan Schroeder. Schroeder had a big one-timer waiting and blew it by Irving.
Van 4-3 Cgy. Jensen emerged from behind the net, shot from a really poor angle and the puck sweaked in. This goal was just as ugly as Hagman's blooper in the 2nd.
Here's Who Was Good
Marco Sturm – Great game from start to finish.
Keith Ballard – I think Ballard was the best Canucks player on the ice. Smart decisions all game, he was flying with the puck and made some terrific passes.
Chris Tanev – Just like his partner Ballard, Tanev was making great plays all game. Tanev is a great counterbalance to Ballard. Ballard likes to rush with the puck and skate, while Tanev is solid while he hangs back. That said, Tanec made a beautiful play going up ice on the Canucks' second goal.
Eddie Lack – Solid in relief. He looked very poised and comfortable.
Nicklas Jensen – Jensen was definitely more noticeable as the game went on. But he looked great. Terrific skating and some wonderful passing.
Kellan Tochkin – Tochkin seemed to be causing turnovers all game. Nothing flashy from him. Just some great spade work all night long.
Here's Who Was Bad
Cory Schneider – Although he started ok, Schneider looked rough on all three goals.
Ryan Parent – Out of place all game long. He was beat to the puck on far too many occasions.
Adam Polasek – With the exception of the one nice defensive play, Polasek looked like a boy among men.
Antoine Roussel – Looked utterly lost most of the night. Got himself into a fight to remind everyone he was there.

For her birthday, Megan Domine brought cupcakes for the kids in her class, but they weren't ordinary cupcakes. They were a tool for teaching.
For her birthday, Megan Domine brought cupcakes for the kids in her class, but they weren't ordinary cupcakes. They were a tool for teaching.
Those treats helped to make up a periodic table of elements, and each student took their cupcake and re-searched that element.
"I like to be creative in my classroom," said Domine, who is teaching seventh and eighth grade science at RVMS. "My favorite thing is to watch kids as they understand a subject and then run with it.
"I want to help them reach their potential and help them dig deep to find it."
Domine, who grew up in Mahtomedi, earned an elementary education degree with an emphasis on middle school science from the Morris campus of the U of M.
What had started as study toward a degree in biology changed to education as Domine discovered her passion was not only in learning more about science but in helping others learn about it, too.
"When I started studying biology, I learned I missed working with adolescents," said Domine. "To me being a teacher is just a natural fit."
Domine said her passion is being creative and logical, agreeing science lends itself well to both of those interests, as there are myriad opportunities for hands-on education.
Working with students in Grades 7 and 8, Domine is teaching both life science and earth science, adding the chance to teach both is her dream job.
At this point, Domine continues to get acclimated to her role in teaching at RVMS, and said she is hoping in the future to get in-volved in more leadership roles.
She is not doing any coaching, adding she was a swimmer in school and the district does not have a pool.
"Not yet," she said with a smile.
Domine said her first year of teaching has been very busy so far, adding things have been going very well for her.
For Domine, the chance to be with middle school students is an ideal one, because they are at an age where they can still be molded, and the chance to have an impact on them is one she takes seriously.
"They still have a curiosity," she said, adding as a teacher she wants to encourage that in her class.
Domine knows not every student who walks into her classroom has the same kind of passion for science she does.
That just means finding creative things to spark their interest.
One of the ways Domine has helped en-hance her own classroom is through displays she has throughout the room.
On the walls and in various other locations is a variety of fowl a friend who does taxidermy did for her.
Those birds, which are mostly native to Minnesota, create an eye appeal for some of the students, especially those who may hunt or who have an interest in the outdoors.
"This way they can see things from nature up close," she explained. "The kids really love it."
Domine said she has received great support from her colleagues, the school administration and the community as a whole.
"It's been a good fit," she said.
Domine said she does not just expect her students to accept everything they hear, but encourages them to continue to ask questions and find things out for themselves.
Domine is enjoying her job at RVMS.
When she is not doing school related activities, she likes to swim, do things outdoors and be creative.

Pigment PY97 has excellent lightfastness, particularly in the darker shades.
No significant acute hazards of PY97 are known, though chronic hazards have not been well studied.
Hansa Yellows were first made in Germany just before WW1 from a series of synthetic dyestuffs called Pigment Yellow. They were intended to be a synthetic replacement for Cadmium Yellow. Permanent Yellow (PY97) represents a further development of this line, with the aim of producing a yellow pigment that is suitable for exterior use.
