The Darfunkle; a large cargo and passenger Galley ship, designed to maximise the compromise between speed and capacity. Lined with a dozen cannons on either side, it's more than capable of fending off the average pirate ship. Manned by mostly Merfolk, and Captained by the illustrious Liguria Orta, a seasoned man of the sea, and owner of the Darfunkle.
It's current voyage was simple, travelling from Lut Gholin Port, to the great Goblin city of Gold Sprocket. An average three day sail, two with good wind, five with poor wind. Either way, compared to the twenty day march along the main roads, it's definitely faster.
Captain Liguria had noted several interesting people buy fair on this trip. A holy woman, who looked startlingly like a human, a Goblin with the scent of blood, a Githzerai Monk, a Drow with a human slave, and the most strange of the lot of them, was an intelligent Orge.
Their business hardly mattered to the Captain, so long as their gold was good, and they caused no trouble. Over all the voyage was peaceful, until the last night, only hours away from port.
The wakey-wakey bell rang loud and clear in the quiet night, as dozens of Merfolk began to scurry about the boat, bringing it to action stations. The man in the crow's nest was screaming "Pirates!" at the top of his lungs, and it didn't take long for the Captain, and all the passengers to wake in their bunks and dawn their armour and weapons.
Every humanoid on board knew that they had to defend the ship, Pirates would not care if you were crew or Passenger, they would rob and kill everyone.
Not wanting to be over burden for combat, the Passengers left their excess baggage in their cabins and rushed to the top deck. Yet oddly enough they heard no cannon fire. Surely by now, they should have opened fire on the pirates?
As the various passengers, and the Captain spilled out on deck, they found the deck empty, not a soul in sight. The pirate ship had already pulled along, and several men were pouring over the sides. Gnolls, Goblins, Orcs, Ogres, Minotaurs, and Merfolk alike made up the enemy crew.
The adventures and the Captain drew their weapons, ready to repel the invaders then they were suddenly frozen, unable to move. Some outside magical force had a hold of them. None of them could see who was casting the spell, but they could hear a woman's voice, chanting an incantation.
In the blink of an eye, they found themselves teleported several kilometres away from the ship, in the exact same spot they had been when they left. Naturally they fell to the water, the freezing spell had worn off.
They group swim back to the surface, and could do nothing but watch the two ships sail off into the night. Thankfully they were not far from land, and with the aid of the Captain, and a few Dolphins he was able to call for help, the group made it to land with out anyone dying. Though what happened to the rest of the crew remained a mystery.
The group gathered, each had lost something of great value, or personal attachment on that ship. Though they had grabbed their wallets, they had left their extra baggage behind. The six swore they would help the Captain since it meant finding their own lost things. In the meantime the group agreed to accept normal jobs to earn gold, while working they would earn reputation and connections to help them find the ones responsible.
The goblin had a cousin in Gold Sprocket, a Business man by the name of Spleck. He knew he had a job for some adventurers, and if they did well, he would introduce them around the City.
~~~All players must make a note in their opening post what object was left on the ship. It can be anything from a chest of gold and gems, to an important artifact given to them by a parent. Anything you like(with in reason)
Chapter 1: Rule of Acquisition #59: Free advice is seldom cheap.
The city of Gold sprocket was surrounded by a massive wall, easily 60 feet tall, and 20 feet thick. Designed long ago by Dwarfs to resist invasion. Now it was home to Goblins. The Dwarfs who built it would weep if they could see it today.
Inside the walls, and the port were where the money was, hundreds of Guilds, Factions, Companies, and Lone Business men operated. Every race imaginable live there, selling their wares or services. They say every minute thousands of gold change hands in this city.
Built up along the walls, and expanding outward from the city were the slums. Places where poor lived, where crime ran rampant, where poor and new businessmen who could not afford the high rent of the city worked.
To enter the city, one must go through one of five gates, The Lion Gate(North), The Falcon Fate(North West), the Tiger Gate(West), The Horse Gate(South West) and the Dragon Gate(South), to the East was the port and the Ocean.
The adventures chose to enter through the Dragon Gate. There they were met by a civil servant, a Goblin by the name of Gleek. He wore a business suit with small square glasses. Beside him were two large humanoids, each dressed in full plate armor. The one was a humanoid Boar, the other was a Humanoid Alligator. They both wore the gold cloak of the City watch.
The Goblin greeted them, "Admission is two silver coins each." He announced, his voice was dry and monotone, showing he must do this a lot. "The north end of the city is separated by a small river which runs through the city. All animal and slave trading is restricted to that area. All humans south of the river are required to wear a Bomb-collar. Trade Mark Gob-co." As he spoke he handed the Drow a small silver collar and a remote control for her pet human.
"The collar will detect any human performing any sort of violence, and will instantly... fix the problem. It can also be remotely detonated by the controller I gave you."
"Also note, that all goods and services at a legitimate shop, already include the tax towards the Demon Council. If you do any personal business it is your duty as citizens to pay proper tax to the Tax collectors. Anyone caught not paying taxes will be hanged. Have a pleasant stay."
With that, the group was allowed to pass through the gate way. The meeting time with Spleck was still an hour away...
All players start with the Standard 1 Hero Point, and 100 Gold Pieces(1 Gold is 100 Silver, 1 Silver is 100 Copper). Please keep track as you spend it.
I like to see each post start off with:
Character Name
HP: # Money: ###
(Only if you are not "normal")Condition: Example Bruised
(Optional) Location:
You can explore or go straight to the meeting place. You are meeting at the "Wolf, Ram, & Hart Tavern" in one hour.
Keep in mind you will start building a reputation, which will effect how people see you. Are you violent? Do you keep your word?
Have fun.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- Vanderbilt coach James Franklin has apologized to Alabama coach Nick Saban for calling him "Nicky Satan" at a high school banquet in Georgia.
School spokesman Larry Leathers confirmed Franklin called Saban on Wednesday afternoon to apologize.
The Vanderbilt coach spoke Monday night at the fall sports banquet for Central High in Macon, Ga., where linebacker Nigel Bowden is one of his top commitments.
According to videotape from WMAZ-TV, Franklin said, "There's this guy in Alabama. I think his name is Nicky Satan. You guys have probably heard of him before. I'm going to outwork him. I'm going to outwork him. And that's kind of our plan every single day."
Franklin told The Tennessean his comment was meant strictly as a joke about a coach who has won four national championships.

Brief Synopsis
A party girl ruins her life when she falls for a married man.
Call girl Gloria Wandrous wakes up in wealthy executive Weston Liggett's apartment and finds Wes has left her $250 dollars. Insulted by the money which she never takes from men, Gloria, whose dress is torn, takes Wes's wife Emily's mink coat to cover herself and scrawls "No Sale" in lipstick on the mirror, but then orders her telephone exchange, Butterfield 8, to put Wes through if he should call. Later, Gloria visits her childhood friend, pianist Steve Carpenter, in his Greenwich Village apartment, where he chastises Gloria for wasting her life on one-night stands, but agrees to ask his girl friend Norma to lend her a dress. After Gloria leaves, Norma jealously gives Steve an ultimatum: He must choose between her and Gloria. Later that day, while Wes takes the train to the countryside where Emily is caring for her mother, he speaks with his friend, Bingham Smith, who tells him to end his adulterous relationships and return to Bing's law firm instead of working for Emily's family chemical business. Later that day, when Gloria lies to her doting mother Annie, claiming to have spent the night at Norma's, neighbor Fanny Thurber insinuates that Gloria spends her nights in less than virtuous circumstances. That evening, Wes returns home and, finding the lipstick and money, places a call to Gloria, explaining the money was for the torn dress. Later that night during a date with Gloria, Wes advises her to ask a high price for her lovemaking talents, prompting Gloria to jam her stiletto heel into his shoe. She explains that she does not take payment for her dates, but prefers to make her living modeling, claiming that she has been hired to advertise the dress she is wearing at three bistros that evening. Drawn by her fierce personality, Wes follows Gloria to the bistros. After watching Gloria flirt with dozens of men at several clubs, he drives her to Happy's, a run-down motel owned by Wes's middle-aged ex-lover Happy. After sleeping together, Wes and Gloria decide to explore the relationship further. Days later, Norma finds the mink coat in Steve's closet and complains about Gloria. Steve tries to explain that after Gloria's father died, Steve looked after her like a brother, but Norma asserts that she does not want to continue their relationship with Gloria in their lives. While Wes and Gloria disappear together for five days, Emily's mother suggests that her daughter divorce Wes, but Emily thinks he is frustrated by the life her family has handed him and insists she will wait until he develops a life of his own. After Wes and Gloria return to the city, Wes admits that he is married. Gloria, far from being surprised, thanks Wes for the respect he showed her during their trip by calling her by her real name instead of "honey" or "dollface." Later that night, when Gloria tells her mother the truth about being a "slut," Annie slaps her. Gloria, grateful that her mother has finally heard the truth, tells her that she is in love with only one man. Gloria visits her psychiatrist Dr. Tredman and insists that her relationship with Wes has cured her of her need for promiscuity, but Tredman suggests it might not be the complete solution. She then rushes to Wes's apartment building with the mink coat to return it, but seeing the elegant Emily in the entryway, leaves in shame. Meanwhile, Wes asks Bing for a job at the law firm and returns home to find Emily has noticed that the mink is gone. Wes nervously makes excuses and rushes out to search for Gloria at her regular clubs, but finds instead that he is just one in the "fraternity" of Gloria's ex-lovers. Meanwhile, Gloria visits Happy, an ex-vaudeville star, who suggests that her own highlife has been a depressing dead end. When Gloria finds Wes at a bistro the following evening, he launches into a series of drunken insults and taunts her, saying "honey, baby, dollface, kid." Gloria then drives Wes to his apartment building where Emily, spotting them from a window above, watches as her husband throws the coat at Gloria, saying that he would never give the tainted object back to his wife. Gloria, now wearing the mink, later laments to Steve that she has earned the coat, every thread and fur pelt, for all her hours prostituting herself to strangers. She then recounts that Annie's boyfriend Hartley had repeatedly raped her when she was thirteen while her mother was away. Even though Gloria felt intense shame for having enjoyed the attention, she subsequently made a life out of repeating the incident. The next day, when a defeated Wes asks Emily for a divorce, she inquires if he is going to Gloria, reminding him that he left her the previous evening. He explains that he loves Gloria so much that the thought of her deserting him drove him into furious rage. When Norma arrives the next morning and finds Gloria asleep on Steve's couch, he calmly asks Norma to marry him. Later at home, Gloria tells her mother she is starting a new life in Boston, gives the mink to Fanny and leaves in her sports car. Finding out that Gloria is on the road to Boston, Wes drives until he spots her car at a café along the highway. Wes tries to apologize to Gloria by asking her to marry him, but Gloria insists that she is "branded" by his insults. He convinces her to go to Happy's to talk in private, but when Happy greets her with scorn, Gloria speeds away. Wes drives after her, trying to catch up to her increasingly fast pace. While turning to see him follow her, Gloria misses the sign for road construction and hurtles over an embankment to her death. When Wes returns to the city, he tells Emily about Gloria's death and announces that he is leaving to "find his pride" and will someday return to see if it has any value to either of them

I'm looking to buildapc with Vt-d enabled(because i use Virtual machines alot on top of the OS) i need some help in understanding Vt-d on Motherboard vs Processor.
The processor i choosed was i7 4770 which is Vt-d and Vt-x enabled. If the processor is vt-d enabled do i still need the motherboard with Vt-d enabled?
I looked at some of the intel motherboards compatible with i7 4770, I saw some differences in virtualization on mother boards i have choosed (Intel DQ87PG, DH87MC, DZ87KLT-75K). The comparison chart on the Intel Website shows that DQ87PG is VT-D enabled but the others are not. http://ark.intel.com/compare/70898,70903,69045
So my question here is If the processor is Vt-d,Vt-x enabled do i still need the motherboard to have Vt-d enabled in order to run virtual machines on top the OS?
Virtualization Technology (vt-d) on mother board(Intel DQ87P
Discussion about Intel CPUs and overclocking. Need help with that new Intel processor? Not sure which one is right for you? Like to void your warranty? This is the place for you! Please keep the topic on Intel Processors!

Re: Virtualization Technology (vt-d) on mother board(Intel D
It is my understanding that Virtualization (accelerated) was all done on the CPU side. From what I can gather on the comparison site is most of the Advanced Technologies that are ticked on the DQ87PG are closely related to laptop features.
Unless you already ordered the Intel board I'd say look elsewhere, see Gigabyte or ASUS.

Great Vindication For Mayweather
During the ninth round break he gave Mosley instructions, and had Mosely repeat them back to him; the fighter's response was barely audible, and very incoherent. What a sad scene that was.
[BoxingGlove Notes]
Fighter In His Prime Reduces A Champion To Pedestrian Status
After all of the profanity-laced trash talk at the press conferences and on H.B.O.'s 24/7, last night, at the MGM Grand Arena, Las Vegas, we saw the DaVinci of Boxing, Floyd Mayweather paint a defensive and offensive masterpiece on Sugar Shane Mosley from the third round onwards.
His boxing gloves that proved without a shadow of a doubt that Mayweather is the best of the modern day fighters in any weight division. In the second round after the warm up first round, Mosley landed a right hand punch that staggered Mayweather.
The audience was screaming in shock at a possible early knockout loss by Mayweather who was seriously hurt and almost knocked down. Floyd showed ability to take a punch and mentally regroup as Mosley furiously threw punch after punch trying to end the fight early to no avail. Surprisingly, Mosley looked exhausted after that second round. It was downhill for him from there.
It seemed that in the third round the fight actually began. Mayweather displayed for all of the world to see, including the celebrity packed live audience, his superior boxing skills, his strong will to survive, dismantling and weakening all of Mosley's power and speed with straight hard right hand punches--sometimes four in a row. Then there were the body shots, and of course the forever present jab, keeping Mosley from launching any offense of his own.
As the rounds progressed Mosley, 38 years old, with a 46-6 record including 39 k.o.'s, seemed to age right before our eyes fighting desperately, trying to catch up to the speedy Mayweather. There was panic in the Mosley corner as Nazim Richardson, Mosley's trainer, was actually begging him to "fight back." During the ninth round break he gave Mosley instructions, and had Mosely repeat them back to him; the fighter's response was barely audible, and very incoherent. What a sad scene that was.
By the 10th round, still absorbing punishment by Mayweather, Mosley just jabbed from a safe distance and when he was hit by Mayweather, he grabbed, holding on, and praying for the clock to run out. At that point I was certain that Referee Kenny Bayless was considering stopping the fight since it had become so one-sided; it was brutally embarrasing for a future hall of famer, earned $6.5 million, a huge payday for him, while Mayweather was paid, $22.5 million.
In the last round, Mosley fought back desperately, in order to prevent the referee from stopping the onslaught. Judges, Adelaide Byrd, and Dave Moretti, both scored it 119-109 , and Judge Robert Hoyle scored it 118-110 all for Mayweather. I scored it 118-111 for Mayweather, scoring the first round which in my opinion was a "feel out" round, even.
So who is next for Mayweather, 41-0, 25 k.o.'s? Mayweather said at the ring post fight interview with Larry Merchant, that he was willing to fight Pacquiao if he submitted to the increased drug testing conducted by the U.S.A.D.A. agency. If Pacquiao refuses again, then there will not be a fight. That is very sad since this is the fight that the world awaits; otherwise Mayweather may have run out of opponents in the 147 pounds category and may be obligated to move up to the junior middleweight level.
At that weight level he will have ample competition including Cory Spinks, Alfredo Angulo, Kermit Cintron, and maybe newly crowned conqueror of Kelly Pavlik, Sergio Martinez. The only other legitimate 147 pound challenger Mayweather could face is 147 pound WBO Champion Andre Berto; Berto may be a few years away from facing an icon like Mayweather.
Mosley admitted that after hitting Mayweather with that right hand in the second round, he could not untrack himself and cope with Mayweather's speed.
Sugar Shane Mosley still has his WBA Crown because Mayweather refused to pay the sanctioning fees, stating that he fights only for money not belts. Since he is still a world champ, Mosley after a long rest could fight Berto who still owes him a contract that was cancelled due to the tragic earthquake in Haiti in which Berto lost many family members. Boxing is indeed full of surprises, and the surprise here is that trash talk prevailed.

After almost a year in exile in America, an icy ocean away from his home in Ethiopia, journalist Samson Mekonnen, left, only recently received his work permit in Washington. In the interim, like most journalists undergoing the emotionally and financially grueling resettlement process, he has relied on friends, family, and international organizations like CPJ to support himself and his family while his petition for asylum navigates the bureaucratic waters.
Back in Ethiopia, Mekonnen reported on everything from government corruption and famine to sports and social issues, earning the ire of the authorities as a result. After suffering nearly seven years of increasingly aggressive state brutality, the journalist told me he fled for his life in November 2009, along with his then-expecting wife.
"What makes life here so difficult is that nobody can understand the pain of what I've been through in Ethiopia," said Mekonnen. "It makes everything hard. I can't forget."
Journalists under extreme threat have two painful options before them: to either remain in their home countries at the risk of suffering a fate like Sri Lankan journalist Lasantha Wickramatunga, who prophesied his own murder in an editorial written shortly before his death, or to flee and entirely and forsake the profession for which they have endured so much. At least 85 journalists fled their homes worldwide between June of 2009 and 2010, 42 from the continent of Africa alone, according to CPJ's June 2010 exile report. Ethiopia, along with Somalia and Iran, marked the nations with the highest exile rate this last year, with 15 Ethiopian journalists leaving the country compared to only two between 2008 and 2009.
Less than one-third of all resettled journalists continue to work in the field, CPJ research shows. Even after surviving the lengthy bureaucratic asylum process with no legal allowances to support themselves, the linguistic and cultural differences they contend with can force accomplished journalists to take any employment opportunities they can find.
"Of course, I wish I could work as a journalist here in the U.S.," Mekonnen told me recently, "But how am I to do it? My English skills are a barrier, I have no contacts. How can I be recognized for my experience? Where am I to start?" Even once asylum has been granted, there are few adequate resources--such as cultural orientation, affordable language classes, or job training services--for refugees.
As part of Ethiopia's diaspora community, Mekonnen says he that expatriates cannot truly reach their countrymen even if they were to start reporting again. Only Internet-savvy users can circumvent the widespread censorship of foreign-based Web sites about politics and human rights, including CPJ's homepage, which the Ethiopian government has blocked. Few Ethiopians regularly access the internet; connections are tiresomely slow. "Any news Web sites founded by overseas Ethiopians won't reach the people back home," he said. "The government would ban them right away, and, in any case, not many people have proper access to the Internet."
However, despite the harsh realities of resettlement, Mekonnen is still optimistic. "Whatever else is said, we don't give up in Ethiopia," he insisted. "Even if we cannot reach the Ethiopian people from abroad, we can still reach the international community, and the USA, and urge them not to support a government which brutalizes its own citizens."
Since the move to America, Mekonnen and his wife have been taking care of their months-old infant, born after their arrival. Now that his work permit has finally come through after almost a year of anxious waiting, the journalist says he and his family can embark on the heavy task of rebuilding their lives.

Imagine getting the assignment to design, build and test a new tractor from a clean sheet of paper? Then you'll take that tractor to a competition with a host of other student engineers. The aim: to help students turn "book learning" into real world knowledge.
That's the aim of the International Quarter Scale Tractor Student Design Competition (IQS) conducted by the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE) each year. The event just wrapped up its 17th competition with 27 schools on hand from covering North American geography with four teams coming from Canada.
This year's overall winner was the University of Kentucky (UK).
The competition starts in the fall of the previous year when students learn the new rules for the competition. From then on they are charged with building a tractor from scratch. They have to use either two 16-hp Briggs & Stratton engines or a single 31-hp Briggs & Stratton engine. The Wisconsin engine maker has been a sponsor since the competition started, providing engines to teams. And students must use a specific set of rear tires as well. The rules are detailed and in-depth, and woe be the team that doesn't read that manual before competition.
For the engineering "geeks" among Farm Industry News readers, this event is a lot of fun for the students, but there's a significant share of work as well. Often the final touches are being put on the tractors as they're about to roll into tech inspection where tractors undergo a significant series of tests from brakes to engine rpm.
Last year we shared a gallery from the 2013 competition showing some of those tech'ing details. It's a gauntlet every machine must pass through.
Students must prepare a written design report - judged by engineers. They must also put their tractors through a series of design inspections for safety, manufacturability, test and development, ergonomics and serviceability. The team must also make a live presentation to a group of judges who act as if they're on a company panel reviewing a decision to move forward with a real-world product (the author is a judge in the competition).
Finally, the tractors compete in a pull with four hooks in two weight categories - 1,000-lbs. and 1,500- lbs. Base weight of the tractor cannot exceed 800-lbs.
UK won three of the four pulls, and took overall honors in the tractor pull. The team also won the manufacturability award (truly engineer speak for a design that's ready to put into an assembly line and build). UK also won for its written design report and took second place for the team presentation. A solid showing across the board.
The top five overall winners included:
1 - University of Kentucky
2 - Kansas State University (they were the 2013 winner)
3 - Ohio State University
4 - Iowa State University - which also won the most-improved award moving up 18 positions from their 22nd place finish in 2013.
5 - Purdue University.

This blog was created with the intention of helping Amelie to be happier, understand life experiences, the people around her, and ultimately to gain wisdom.
To clarify, I created Amelie for the purpose of explaining (as well as examining) my emotions and thoughts – Amelie is my avatar that helps me to define my inner strength, pain, and happiness.
Amelie is derived from the first letter of my name and the name Emilie (after Emilie Simon). I felt that Amelie can relate to the girl from the music video Flowers.
Thank you all for stopping by. I hope you'll all stick around to observe my journey of growing up into the person that I aspire to be 🙂

Kenny Rogers' Mansion Is as Spectacular as You'd Expect [Pictures]
Kenny Rogers recently sold his vastly luxurious estate just outside of Atlanta, and as pictures show, the country legend was living like a king in a house that resembles an actual palace.
According to Variety, Rogers fetched $2.383 million for his 13,000-square-foot estate, which features 6 bedrooms, 8 full and 4 half bathrooms. The Grammy-winning Country Music Hall of Famer purchased the luxurious Mediterranean estate in 2012 for $1.5 million.
The exceptionally opulent mansion features wrought iron entry gates and a spacious two-story foyer with matching curved staircases, as well as elegant and very formal living and dining rooms. The private living spaces include an enormous eat-in kitchen with a massive double island, along with 10 fireplaces scattered throughout the residence. The mind-boggling manor also boasts a conservatory, a combination family room and game room with its own full bar and a private movie theater that features stadium seating.
You've Never Seen Anything Like Alan Jackson's Crazy Mansion!
The mansion's gigantic master suite comprises two walk-in closets with private dressing rooms, as well as a vast formal bathroom with brass fixtures and marble floors. There's also a one-bedroom, one-bathroom apartment above the garage, which could serve as extra space for visiting family or live-in staff members.
Rogers scored his first country hit with "Lucille" in 1977, and he went on to a decades-long run of No. 1 hits that included "Daytime Friends," "The Gambler," "She Believes in Me," "Coward of the County," "Lady," "Islands in the Stream" and many more. Rogers sustained his run of No. 1 hits all the way through 1999, scoring his final chart-topper with "Buy Me a Rose."
Now 79, Rogers retired from touring with a splashy all-star concert in Nashville in 2017.
The legendary singer, actor, author and photographer is no stranger to high living. Variety reports that he previously owned two of Los Angeles' most lavish estates — the Knoll in Beverly Hills, which he sold in the mid-'80s for more than $20 million, and Liongate in Bel-Air, which most recently sold in 2015 for more than $46 million.

Accommodations in IbizaTalking about Ibiza, the reference which usually comes to our mind is about the famous nightlife. In the summer the island turns into a place of parties continuing where the clubbing and festivals are its advertising.
The parties here are wild and extravagant, and it is important to note that everything is allowed, also dont forget that many of the fashion and music trends have been appeared on the island.... the sunsets are referred to the tourists with an ambience of music to Chill out and preparing them for the next sessions which are more wild, with all kind of music styles that will entertain throughout the night in Ibiza, to choose... it has seven discos which are considered as the music temples on the island: El Divino, Amnesia, Pacha, Space, Eden, Es Paradis and Privilege... each with its own style... but certainly its not the only offer... it is so wide, that its best to visit the place itself to get to know it.
There we will also find beautiful beaches which are pleasing everyone, depending on the area of the island that we are visiting, we will find quiet coves surrounded by cliffs, or large beaches with greater number of people.
Near Ibiza is the Talamanca beach, Sa Caleta, Las Salinas, just to mentioned a few beaches close to the town... specifically to bring up the Talamanca beach which is ideal if you travel with children, because it is a sandy beach not very deep which makes it very safe for children, so if... because of being a very open, large beach you should not forget an umbrella as there is no shadow at all to protect you.
Las Salinas is one of the fashionable beaches in summer, surrounded by a pine forest and dunes, it is one of the idyllic places on the island where all kind of people of any status are mixed.
The Sa Caleta beach, actually a small artificial cove, very well-known by the people of Ibiza who are meeting there on the weekends, a few years ago, they removed the rocks at the foot of the cliff and brought sand to transform it into the cove of nowadays, ideal for families, although often crowded since it is not very big, the access to it is via a dirt road without any indication, the only hint is to follow the sign of the Restaurant La Caleta which will lead you to this corner.
For those looking for more crazy fun, this small jewel of the Balearics is the best option.

Scope and Contents of the Records
Board of Criminal Justice minutes and meeting files, 1881-1885, 1900-2015,
Texas Department of Criminal Justice:
An Inventory of Board of Criminal Justice Minutes and Meeting Files at the Texas State Archives, 1881-1885, 1900-2015
Agency History
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) manages offenders in state prisons, state jails and private correctional facilities that contract with TDCJ. The agency also provides funding and oversight of community supervision and is responsible for the supervision of offenders released from prison on parole or mandatory supervision. The Department of Criminal Justice came into being in 1848 when "An Act to Establish a State Penitentiary" was passed by the 2nd Texas Legislature. The act established a governing body of the penitentiary as a three-member board of directors, appointed by the governor, with the approval of the senate. The board was responsible for creating and distributing a set of rules and bylaws for the administration of the penitentiary, overseeing the treatment of convicts, preparing an annual inventory of property, and making an annual report to the governor.
In 1881, the legislature reorganized the prison system, abolishing the board of directors, and creating in its place a Penitentiary Board, consisting of the governor, the state treasurer, and the prison superintendent (Chapter 49, 17th Legislature, Regular Session). In April 1883, the administrative system was again reorganized, with the board comprised of the governor and two commissioners appointed by the governor (Chapter 114, 18th Legislature, Regular Session). In 1885, the board composition changed once more, now consisting of three commissioners appointed by the governor (House Bill 562, 19th Legislature, Regular Session). This board was succeeded by the Board of Prison Commissioners in 1910, which was composed of three commissioners appointed by the governor (Senate Bill 10, 31st Legislature, 4th Called Session). Convicts, or inmates, were housed and worked in one of the two prisons or on one of several state prison farms. Shop industries slowed down while the prison farms expanded. This arrangement made it more difficult to provide education and other reform measures. Such measures were generally practiced at Huntsville, with some teaching extended to a couple of prison farms by the early 1900s.
The Texas Prison Board replaced the Board of Prison Commissioners as the governing body for the Texas Prison System in 1927, increasing in size to nine members (House Bill 59, 40th Legislature, Regular Session). The members of the board were appointed by the governor, with senate approval, to six-year overlapping terms. During the board's tenure, 1927-1957, the board made changes in the system including more emphasis on prison reform, teaching, recreation--including the establishment of the Texas Prison Rodeo--and a new method of classifying inmates. The Texas Prison System became the Department of Corrections in 1957 (Senate Bill 42, 55th Legislature, Regular Session). This department was governed by the Board of Corrections, composed of nine members appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate to six-year overlapping terms.
In 1989, the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and the Board of Criminal Justice were created (House Bill 2335, 71st Legislature, Regular Session). The board is composed of nine members appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate to six-year overlapping terms. This new agency absorbed the functions of three agencies: the Department of Corrections, the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles, and the Texas Adult Probation Commission. The Department of Corrections, which was responsible for the operation of the prison system, is now the Institutional Division of the Department of Criminal Justice. This division still manages the housing of inmates within the prison system.
The prison system has changed since the 1900s. A major penal reform program was initiated in 1947, modernizing agricultural production, initiating industrial production by inmates, and providing improvements in physical facilities for inmates and employees. The Windham School District was created in 1969 to offer GED certificates or high school diplomas to inmates. Junior college and senior college classes are available. Rehabilitation programs offer vocational training, work furlough programs, and community services to aid inmates in securing work upon release and making the adjustment and transition into society. Legal services are also available to inmates through the office of the general counsel.

Scope and Contents of the Records
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) manages offenders in state prisons, state jails and private correctional facilities that contract with TDCJ. The Board of Criminal Justice is composed of nine members appointed by the governor with the advice and consent of the senate, and governs the department. These are minutes and meeting files of the board and its predecessors, including the Texas State Penitentiary Board, Texas Board of Prison Commissioners, Texas Prison Board, and Texas Board of Corrections, dating from 1881 to 1885, and 1900 to 2015. Some of the minutes and meeting files contain letters; copies of leases, easements, or contracts considered by the board; statistical reports on the inmate population; committee reports; reports by the executive director and division directors; board policies; and rules and regulations. The minutes also contain resolutions by the board, generally regarding the death of board members, prison officials, or citizens connected to the prison system. In the 1881-1885 volume of minutes, copies of some documents prepared by the State Penitentiary Board were transcribed at the back of the volume, starting on page 199.
The minutes from 1974 forward also have meeting agenda that usually contain summaries of items to be discussed. Attachments, such as those discussed above, are filed with the agenda, followed by the minutes. Also present are minutes and agenda of the Board of Trustees of the Windham School District, the school district run by the Department of Criminal Justice for inmates, dating 1970-2015. The school district minutes are filed separately from the Board of Corrections/Board of Criminal Justice minutes through 1976, then filed following the Board's minutes for each meeting beginning in 1977. The minutes of the Board's Substance Abuse Subcommittee for 1991-1992 are also present, filed with the minutes of the Board.
Topics of board meetings have varied over the years. Subjects include: the financial status of the prisons, accounts approvals, legislative committee investigations, rules and regulations, appointments, purchasing, reinstatement of guards and other personnel changes, real estate issues, leasing of convict labor, conveying convicts to the penitentiaries, conditions at the prisons and prison farms, authorizing whipping of specific inmates, deaths of inmates, escapes of inmates, transferring inmates between prison units, inmate complaints, inmate educational needs (including high school, college, and vocational education), inmate recreational needs (including books, films, and athletic events such as boxing, baseball, and the Texas Prison Rodeo), constructing new units, improving existing units, agricultural production, prison industries, health and sanitation conditions of the inmates, incidents in prison units of inmates refusing to eat or work, and riots. Special situations are also discussed. These situations have included permission to make a documentary of parolees and their prison experience; requests to write stories about the electric chair and men on death row; and the use of volunteer inmates in burn-related plastic surgery experiments, in psychiatric experiments, and in the use of new medical procedures.
Because of damage to the bindings of the older volumes, the earlier minutes have been unbound and placed in boxes.

24 December 2012 | News | By BioSpectrum Bureau
Merck drops Tredaptive study
Merck halts study of Tredaptive as it did not meet its primary endpoint
Singapore: HPS2-THRIVE (heart protection study 2-treatment of HDL to reduce the incidence of vascular events) study of Tredaptive (extended-release niacin/laropiprant) by Merck did not meet its primary endpoint. Merck and the investigators are informing regulatory agencies of these results.
The company is also preparing communications to healthcare providers in countries where the medicine is currently available, and will continue to work with regulators to provide updated information to healthcare providers. Based on the current understanding of these new data and until further analyses can be completed, Merck is recommending that providers not start new patients on Tredaptive. Merck does not plan to seek regulatory approval for the medicine in the US.
HPS2-THRIVE was independently conducted by the Clinical Trial Service Unit at Oxford University and funded by Merck. The study enrolled 25,673 patients considered to be at high risk for cardiovascular events. Of those enrolled, 14,741 were from Europe (the UK and Scandinavia) and 10,932 were from China. Patients in the study were followed for a median of 3.9 years. HPS2-THRIVE compared extended -release niacin and laropiprant plus statin therapy versus statin therapy. It was not designed to assess directly the separate effects of either extended-release niacin or laropiprant.
In the study, adding the combination of extended-release niacin and laropiprant to statin therapy did not significantly further reduce the risk of the combination of coronary deaths, non-fatal heart attacks, strokes or revascularizations compared to statin therapy. In addition, there was a statistically significant increase in the incidence of some types of non-fatal serious adverse events in the group that received extended-release niacin/laropiprant.
With the agreement of the independent research team at Oxford University, Merck is sharing results from the study with regulatory agencies in countries where the medicine is approved (under the brand names Tredaptive or Cordaptive) and in other countries as well. The investigators are conducting additional analyses, including regional analyses, to further understand the results. They anticipate reporting the detailed study results in the first quarter of 2013.
"While we are disappointed in these results, we thank the investigators who have conducted the study and the patients who have participated in it," said Dr Peter S Kim, president, Merck Research Laboratories. "We are committed to working closely with the independent research team at Oxford University and with regulatory agencies to understand the results and determine next steps."

Learning to swim freestyle: My adventures in the fast lane
"Show me what you got," Ashley Krause said.
Ashley was standing at the pool's edge beside the swim lanes at Wulf Recreation Center in Evergreen. My first swim lesson.
What I had was an explosion of thrashing, sputtering, gasping, and splashing that propelled me all of about fifteen feet.
"I ain't got much." I wheezed to Ashley. I was coughing up water.
"That's why we're here," Ashley answered. "Soooooo lets get to work." Ashley is not big on conversation.
And work we did. Breath. Stroke. Rotation. Kick. Head down. Butt up. On to the back. On to the belly. Kick board. No kick board. Flippers. No flippers. Swim swim swim. Move, move, move.

Last week I posted a photo that I'm sure has a Quirk ancestor in it. Call it more of a feeling than anything else since some from my Quirk line were teachers, or perhaps it was one of the children in the photo...either way, I see little reason to keep a class photo unless there is someone in it you know! The teacher looks different in the photo here as does the school.

Following the breakup of the Soviet Union, the former Soviet Olympic committee decided to call its delegation to the Winter Games the "Unified Team" because several athletes in various sports were from former Soviet republics.
The hockey team played with no logo on its uniform and no national anthem was played when the former Soviets won the gold medal. The Olympic anthem was played instead. Vyacheslav Bykov, the diminutive captain, was the inspirational leader of the Olympic champions and 20 of the 23 players from their roster eventually played in the NHL.
The 1992 Olympic hockey tournament adopted a playoff system for the first time in the post-War era. The one-game elimination playoff system included eight teams in the quarterfinals and saw the four teams with the best records in the preliminary round reach the semifinals.
Forty years after the Edmonton Mercurys won Canada's last Olympic gold medal, Dave King's Canadian national team made it to the final game. The game remained scoreless after the second period but the Unified Team of former Soviet players outscored their Canadian opponents 3-1 to win the championship.
Led by future NHL stars Joe Juneau and Eric Lindros, Canada advanced to the finals with a thrilling shoot-out win over Germany in the quarterfinals and upset a more experienced team from Czechoslovakia 4-2 in the semifinals. Future NHLer Robert Lang starred in the tournament for Czechoslovakia, which breezed to a 6-1 victory over a talented group of American collegians in the bronze medal game. The U.S. had finished first in its group in the preliminary round and defeated France 4-1 in the quarterfinals before bowing 5-2 to the Unified Team in the semis.

Armstrong at least fits a grit need the Pens need. Just like Jagr fit the need for a winger last year. No more no less.
Only way I take Colby back is if he is willing to take a sub mil. for a year. A try-out if you will.

In this case it tells you nobody wants to take on his salary, not for even a 7th round pick. Like some others have said, I would think about him for under a million on a one year deal for fourth line duty. I would look at others such as Daniel Winnik or David Moss first though.

Cooke-Sutter-Armstrong would be a great third line.
Surely you can't be serious.
But just in case:
Army had as many points in 10-11 as Kennedy had goals.
I am serious. Armstrong will kill penalties and is better on the powerplay. Their scoring output is about the same. In what way is Kennedy better than Armstrong?

State parks will take over Tahoe rec area on May 15
KINGS BEACH, Calif. — The timetable for California State Parks to take over a popular North Shore recreation area has moved up.
Rather than taking over Nov. 1, state parks will manage day-to-day operations for the Kings Beach State Recreation Area and boat launch facility starting May 15, Vicky Waters, deputy director of public affairs for California State Parks, said Friday.
North Tahoe Public Utility District, which has managed the state-owned rec area since 1978, informed state parks on April 15 of the board's decision to terminate district operations.
Due to a portion of the rec area's parking lot being used to stage equipment and materials for the Kings Beach Commercial Core Improvement Project, parking lot revenue — which pays for summer expenses such as trash collection and sand removal — has been impacted, according to a letter to state parks, signed by Paul Schultz, NTPUD general manager/CEO.
"The district just cannot meet its standard without an income stream, and the local community does not have the resources to subsidize state parks," the letter states, causing the NTPUD board to "reluctantly conclude" termination of operations.
An agreement for the lost parking revenue was finalized May 3, 2012, in which Placer County will pay state parks $115,746 over the core project's estimated two-season construction period, said Peter Kraatz, deputy director for Placer County Department of Public Works.
NTPUD was not a part of negotiations, since it is not the property owner, he said.
"We don't get a nickel," Schultz said Monday morning, referring to the compensation. "It would have made the difference."
On average, the cost to operate the rec area's beach in the summer is $150,000, he said. According to NTPUD, parking lot revenues and the concessionaire are the sole funding sources to maintain the beach.
Schultz added virtually all revenue is made over the summer, which covers park expenses throughout the year.
"We didn't want to, but we had to because of fiscal constraints," he said, referring to terminating on May 15.
Despite the earlier handover, state parks is confident the transition will go well.
"We are confident services will not be interrupted to visitors," Waters said. "We are working on a transition plan currently so that the transfer of operations is as smooth and seamless as possible."
She said services and upcoming events at the site will be honored, and the intention remains to keep the rec area and parking lot open year-round.
Even though the May takeover will affect the tail end of this fiscal year (July 1-June 30) and the beginning of next year's budgets, state parks is "confident" it can fund the change, Waters said.
Part of the transition plan is to look over budget numbers and fill available park positions immediately to ensure everything is in place for May 15.
In the future, state parks is looking at making improvements at the rec area such as ADA upgrades, with the California Tahoe Conservancy funding a portion of work.
In January, state parks informed NTPUD its interest in taking over operations at the rec area. Since a 30-year contract between state parks and NTPUD expired Dec. 5, 2008, NTPUD has continued park operations on a month-to-month basis.

Willow Dyes Shaved Head Blonde
Willow is known for her viral hit 'Whip My Hair,' which started a bit of a teen craze and got her signed to a record deal. Despite the fact that follicles were such a key part of her earliest success, the 11-year-old daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith keeps drastically changing her locks.
Earlier this month, she shaved her hair off, leaving her with a short buzz cut. Now, she dyed her buzz cut blonde! Willow's not whipping her hair anymore… She's transforming it.
The pre-teen posted a shot of herself on her Twitter page, but the image has since gone MIA. Even so, the photo did land online, courtesy of The Daily Mail. The pint-sized singer is posing with friends and wearing massive red specs and a red and blue striped cardigan, effectively pulling off nerdy chic. She even added a cute caption, which read "Nerds rule," to the photo.
With her formerly signature tendrils on the cutting room floor, Willow Smith certainly resembles her famous father even more. She's also differentiating herself, by standing out with her own unique look.
What do you think of Willow's new, lighter look? Is it too short? Too bright? Totally edgy, punk rock and fun? Let us know your thoughts in the comment field below.

Oct. 9 Max Scherzer postgame interview
Q. I know it's an old subject, here, because of what you've been dealing with, Max, but could you take us through a little bit here of where your deltoid is this week, the affliction that put you on the shelf for a while. And really how strong you feel and if it's any element here at all in your approach tomorrow?
MAX SCHERZER: My deltoid has been fine. I was able to get treatment and after the second kind of setback, and after that we really took care of it. I needed more rest. And that's what we gave it. Given that second go‑around, second round of treatment, I got healthy enough to be able to make that start in Kansas City. And having made that start, that was very important for me to get back out there and get into a workload.
And so seeing how I was able to respond to it, have it be able to pitch at a hundred percent, it's recovered fine. And I've been good ever since.
Q. What are the mental twists and turn a Game 4 starter goes through during Game 3 when you hope your team wins and you basically are hoping you're not starting?
MAX SCHERZER: Yeah, that's how it was. I was the biggest cheerleader today, hoping that we would win.
I mean, it is a little bit weird not wanting to pitch. But at the end of the day the team comes first, and obviously we wanted to win today. Given that, obviously we weren't able to come through, so now it's my turn to go out there and give the team a chance to win.
Q. On today's game the A's came out very strong in the first inning and then a huge catch by Coco in the second inning, and the stadium came alive. As an observer did the atmosphere of the coliseum make an impression on you?
MAX SCHERZER: Yeah, it really did. We've come here several times and they have good fans, but they usually don't have that many fans here. But obviously today is a lot different. And that was probably the most rowdy atmosphere I've ever seen here, pretty much in any ballpark I've ever been in. From the first inning to the 9th inning they were on their feet cheering for every pitch, every out. I give them a lot of kudos for the atmosphere they were able to provide.
Q. How do you view their batting order? They have some power and you tend to be a bit of a fly ball pitcher. What do you make of them, Max?
MAX SCHERZER: They have some guys who have some speed and who can steal some bases and hurt you that way. And they have power in the middle of their lineup. They have some good quality left‑handed bats. So it's going to present a challenge for me tomorrow. For me I've got to come up with a good game plan on how to navigate through the lineup and be able to collect outs when I need them.
Q. You probably have been on the mound when Austin Jackson has made a catch like Coco did. What does that do for a pitcher?
MAX SCHERZER: It just relaxes you. Because obviously in that situation you probably made a mistake. And for your defense to come up huge like that, it gives you a sense of calm to be able to go out there and continue to execute, because you know you dodged a bullet. The play he made tonight was spectacular, at the least. And it was a turning point in the game.
Q. Old subject, Max, but 75 pitches last Wednesday. Do you feel like you will be able to go the distance, with any sort of limitation, like a pitch count?
MAX SCHERZER: No, I don't think so. The way I've recovered over the past ten days has been really good. Like I said, that start in Kansas City, was able to go out there pain free, let it fly, and it felt good. I was able to recover off of that. And there shouldn't be any limitations on me tomorrow.

Experts: Gas in Gulf blowout is less damaging
(AP)—A blown-out natural gas well blazing off Louisiana's coast poses fewer environmental dangers than past offshore accidents because it appears to primarily involve gas that disperses relatively easily, scientists said Wednesday.
"A gas well's not going to result in any kind of major pollution—perhaps not even significant pollution if it's burning," said Ted Bourgoyne, the former chair of Louisiana State University's petroleum engineering department. He now runs the consultancy Bourgoyne Enterprises Inc.
Federal inspectors saw no sheens near the well during flyovers Wednesday morning, which indicates the gas is burning off without releasing oil or other hydrocarbons—which are sometimes found in gas wells—into the water. While it's not clear if the well in Tuesday's blowout contained any crude oil, officials and scientists agree that the latest mishap shouldn't be nearly as damaging as the BP oil spill that famously sent crude oil oozing ashore in 2010.
The fire broke out late Tuesday hours after the blowout, authorities said. Forty-four workers were evacuated from a drilling rig at the site, and no injuries were reported.
University of Georgia marine scientist Samantha "Mandy" Joye also said the pollution and health dangers posed by a gas well are quite different than those posed at the well where the Deepwater Horizon rig blew up in 2010, killing 11 people and spewing millions of gallons (liters) of oil for weeks.
"The biggest danger from gas is that it is extremely flammable. At high concentration, gas exposure can cause health issues (vomiting, headaches, and worse) but such high levels are not likely to be reached in warm, shallow waters," Joye said in an email response to questions.
That's not to say there were no dangers. The Coast Guard maintained traffic restrictions within 500 meters of the site and the Federal Aviation Administration restricted aircraft up to 2,000 feet (610 meters) over the area.
Tuesday's blowout occurred at a drilling rig adjacent to a natural gas platform that wasn't producing gas at the time. The rig was completing a "sidetrack well," which drills into the same well hole under the platform. Industry experts say such wells are used to remedy an obstruction or other problem with the original bore, or to access a different part of the gas reserve.
Gas spewed throughout the day and ignited late Tuesday night. The cause of the blowout was under investigation being overseen by the federal Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement.
Rig owner Hercules Offshore Inc. said the plan to stop the flow of gas may include drilling a relief well to divert the gas from the accident site, which could take weeks.
"We are singularly focused on coming up with an action plan that would regain control over the well," said James Noe, an executive with Hercules, which was operating the rig for Walters Oil & Gas, an exploration and production company.
Natural gas—mostly methane—is far more soluble than oil, meaning it more easily dissolves, dilutes and disperses than crude oil, said Donald Boesch, president of the University of Maryland's Center for Environmental Science and a member of the federal panel that investigated the BP oil spill. That means concentrations would be are far less lethal to the marine environment, he said.
