I'm a little late with this post, but better late than never right?
Last week, Saturn finally left Virgo (and you could hear Virgoans the world over breathe a sigh of relief) and entered Libra.
I like to think of Saturn as the planet of obligation. When you say to yourself "I should really" Saturn is peering over your shoulder and preparing to kick you in the backside. It doesn't have much of a sense of humour, it's energy is heavy and very serious. The ruler of Capricorn, Saturn also deals with big business, Mother Earth and things that come out of the ground such as oil. (Interesting to note that the oil leak in the Timor Sea was finally plugged yesterday after being out of control for months.
Libra is the sign of balance and relating. Saturn in Libra will be bringing a focus to this area. People will be feeling obliged to do the "right thing" in their relationships - giving their spouse or friend who has been annoying them one more chance.
Relationships within businesses and between countries will also be in focus. Again, interesting to note that Fiji has just expelled Australian and New Zealand representatives.
As a small aside, those people in their mid to late thirties will start to have the joyous experience of Saturn on their natal Pluto. This is a very stern and serious aspect. Suddenly, you will realise that you are not as young as you used to be. You will start thinking about the future and (dare I say it?) old age. You will suddenly realise that you need to make some changes if you want to be in the position you have imagined by the time you reach your 50s or 60s. This could include a health scare - if you're not easily led by these sorts of thoughts, the universe likes to make sure you get it.
Start reviewing your goals. Are they sensible? Are they practical? The time to make positive change is now.

i spent the better part of the afternoon yesterday finding out how to add our new rector Mary to the Diocesan Payroll service and get her signed up for health insurance.
Zoraida, the payroll manager, sent me six forms, and on one of them was a statement that for clergy we need a seventh form. I managed to download that from the diocesan website -- it was page 11 of a 12 page compilation of forms, most of which duplicated the forms I had been sent and had already printed.
Sara, the benefits administrator, sent me the form for the health insurance. Since Mary is coming from another parish in the diocese, Sara told me what plan she was in now, but Mary still has to fill out the form anew.
In all there were eight forms. Four the clergy person has to fill out, and four just the parish fills out. It came to me to send Mary the four for the clergy person so that she could fill them out and send them back to us. Two of them we need to add to.
The other four are written in such a way that the presumption is that the treasurer will sign them. I'm prepared to do that. There is, however, a timing complication - I won't be in New York very much for a few weeks. In additon to sending Mary the forms she needs to complete, I sent copies of all the forms to the wardens, Radford and Celia, for their information. The one that came as part of a 12 page packet, I printed and scanned, so as not to confuse anyone with the duplicates in the other part of the packet.
Liz and I are getting as much time here at Heart Lake as we can, and we also are going to Vermont in a week and a half for our granddaughter Juliana's fifth birthday. So we will be in New York on only a few days before Mary starts at the beginning of October. We will be there this week Friday, Saturday, and Sunday (Sunday is the Climate March.) Next week we will be there Thursday only. (If you count evenings we will be there Thursday evening this week and Wednesday evening next week.)
The week following the birthday party on the 28th, we will wend our way back to New York. Depending on whether we come by way of Heart Lake, we will get there either on Wednesday or on Friday or Saturday.
Then comes Mary's first Sunday at St. Mary's as rector. We'll be there for that. Probably we'll come back here sometime that week, at least for Columbus Day. I don't yet know when we'll turn off the water here and drain the pipes.
I have another task related to Mary while I am in New York. Mary and her family are moving into the rectory on the last days of September, when Liz and I will be in Vermont. Since the parish has to pay for the move, I have to arrange for a bank check to the moving company and cash for the tip before we leave. I also have to reimburse Mary for the deposit to the moving company.
All of this is in addition to the fact that I have to prepare a financial report for the vestry meeting on September 28 -- a day I'll be away so I have to get the report done four or five days in advance.
All will be well. Deo gratias.

Sri Lanka 'pressurises' Nepal to stop screening of documentaries
A film festival celebrating South Asia's best non-fiction documentaries began in Kathmandu on Thursday on a sombre note with the Sri Lankan government banning screening of three films. Utpal Parashar reports.world Updated: Oct 04, 2013 11:53 IST
A film festival celebrating South Asia's best non-fiction documentaries began in Kathmandu on Thursday on a sombre note with the Sri Lankan government banning screening of three films.
Organisers of Film Southasia, the biennial event showcasing documentaries of the region, claim the Sri Lankan government pressurised Nepali authorities to stop screening of all entries from the island nation.
The films in question are 'Broken' and 'The Story of One' (both directed by Kannan Arunasalam) and 'No Fire Zone' (directed by Callum Macrae).
"FSA protests this unwarranted intrusion into the cultural sphere, an action that goes against the freedom of expression and the right of documentary filmmakers to exhibit their work," stated Kanak Mani Dixit, chair of Film Southasia in a release.
'No Fire Zone' claims to be "the true story of war crimes committed at the end of the Sri Lankan civil war in 2009". It shows the Sri Lankan government's alleged role in the massacres towards end of the war.
"Once again the Sri Lankan government has shown its true colours," the film's director Macrae said in a statement while pledging to show the documentary around the world.
In protest against the Nepal government's directives to stop screening of the three documentaries the organisers stated that they would be shown outside the festival venue at a "private screening".
The documentaries will remain in contention for the festival awards.
A total of 35 documentaries from the region from eight countries including Myanmar are to be screened in the four day festival. There are 15 entries from India.
Film Southasia has been organizing documentary festivals since 1997. This is the ninth edition of the event.

In a tv debate recently, someone mentioned 'joined-up thinking', and got unexpected laughter from the audience. Partly this was the audience's perfectly reasonable satirical response to one of the early New Labour catchphrases. [There's an Observer article about it's removal from the political lexicon here for those that enjoy socio-political analysis.] As an amateur calligrapher – and newspaper reader – it struck me that the wonk who dreamed up the phrase was a little … well, wonky, in their analogy.
I guess they thought joined-up writing was more sophisticated, intelligent and efficient that what we used to call print stick – each letter standing alone and crafted in isolation. Well, yeah but no but … (more…)

Hopefully a very basic question
As my first foray into scripting I have an onlogin script which has:
genie item pocket;
genie item pocket;
genie item pocket;
For my multi without a genie the script fails, and so doesn't reach breakfast, so I need an if statement to test whether I have a genie. What is the syntax for that?
Secondly, the script fails if I have already run breakfast that day, so again I need to test for it. What would be the syntax for that?
thanks for any help

When Gardeners garden, it is not just plants that grow, but the gardeners themselves ~ Ken Druse
What's Bloomin'?
Moderate temperatures have brought back the feeling of near springtime growth here. The strange weather we've had this year had postponed much of the blooming and then the onset of 100 degree days in the summer made them come to a near halt. Plants grow better when temps are below 90 degrees. In fact, that is part of the reason lawns slow their growth in the peak of summer, not just because of less rain.
I really had given up on getting a show of blooms on my Morning Glories this year. Within the past 3 weeks all I can say is, "Wow"! I have several places where they are planted here, by choice or not, that are doing wonderfully now. The Sulphur butterflies are sure enjoying the added nectar it brings.
Zinnias, zinnias and more zinnias are blooming here. I'd saved the seeds from last years plants and planted them around our place. They are such a joy to have. I love to see how many bees, butterflies and hummingbirds stop to visit my zinnias.
My Floribunda hybrid tea rose is doing remarkably well this year too. It's bloomed nearly the whole season. I'm pretty shocked actually. Last year we had so much rain the poor things suffered with black spot and powdery mildew to the point I thought it would never recover. It's doing much better.
The Mexican Bush Sage is new to our garden this year. I have had high hopes on its performance ever since I laid eyes on it in our Master Gardener's educational garden. It was so hardy that when it was dug up, they took a chain saw to it to divide the root ball. We each took home pieces of it. Mine has done quite well and I like the fact the grasshoppers have actually left this alone. The beautiful purple flowers feel like velvet to touch. What fun!

Born and raised in France in a small region called "Jura", I moved to Ireland over 5 years ago. Since, I embrace the culture of these new multi-national companies that inspire me by their ability to use new technologies to change the world.

TGF-beta and G Protein Coupled Receptor (GPCR) Signaling
Myofibroblasts, characterized by expression of smooth muscle (SM)-alpha-actin, extracellular matrix proteins and pro-fibrotic factors, are invariably found in fibrotic and stromal tissues and are believed to play important role in the pathogenesis of fibrosis and cancer progression. Transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) is the most established pro-fibrotic mediator of myofibroblast differentiation. We and others have described a complex signaling mechanism for TGF-beta-induced myofibroblast differentiation, involving Smad-dependent expression of various G protein coupled receptor (GPCR)-activating signaling molecules, subsequent activation of Rho small GTPases and recruitment of serum response factor (SRF) transcription factor. Our current studies focus on the further understanding this mechanism and on regulation of the above pathway by targeting G protein signaling, actin and microtubule dynamics, and of SRF-dependent gene transcription, with the goal of attenuating myofibroblast differentiation in vitro and in animal models.
Regulators of G protein Signaling (RGS) proteins represent another subject of our studies. The established function of RGS proteins is to inactivate the alpha subunits of heterotrimeric G proteins and to control the signaling mediated by various G protein-coupled receptors. We have found that one of the RGS family members, RGS3, non-canonically interacts with Smad transcription factors and inhibits TGF-beta signaling. Our current studies using knockdown and knockout approaches suggest a critical role of RGS3 in control of T cell-mediated inflammation and of epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) of cancer cells. Furthermore, we identified novel interactions of RGS3 with signaling molecules controlling cell growth and differentiation, the functional significance of which is under investigation.

The drama takes place on a fictional island called Banoi. Your character wakes up after a night of carousing to discover that most of the people on the island are afflicted with something much worse than a hangover. After fleeing your hotel and meeting up with some fellow survivors, you have two goals: rescue other noninfected humans and find a way off Banoi.
Personally I find the review a little harsh myself, giving it only a 2/4 because of bugs and and glitches. I can understand them being annoying and hindering someones playthrough of this game, but for it to more or less ruin someones whole experience of this game seems a little far-fetched.
Also surprised to hear someone not like the co-op mode too, but hey, each to their own I guess.
This surely has to be the Marmite title of the year. There are so many varying review scores on this game.

Bahrain Banks launch new design cheques
Manama, January 27, 2010
Banks in Bahrain have begun issuing newly designed cheques to their customers, from January 1 this year, said a top official of the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB).
Ahmed Buhijji, director of Banking Services Directorate at the CBB, further revealed that cheque usage in the kingdom is growing and around 12,700 cheques are being cleared at the CBB daily.
The new design cheques have been designed with additional security features in keeping with global best practices. All newly designed cheques carry a watermark as one of the security features.
One of the main differences between "old design" and "new design cheques" is that there is one standardised size for all new design cheques, for individuals, corporates and government. The length of the cheque is seven inches and height is three and a half inches. This standardisation allows easy handling and also the adoption of advanced technology for clearing and verification.
As the new cheques follow a unique format for entering the required information, banks as well as customers, can easily identify fields on the cheque, such as name of the bank, amount, date, signature, name of the payee and drawer details.
Another new feature in these cheques is the "date box", which caters for diverse customer practices in writing the date in Arabic or English.
Ahmed Buhijji further stated that customers who are currently in possession of old design cheques may use them until August 1, 2011. However, from August 1, 2011, a penalty fee will be charged for clearing old design cheques.
The CBB strongly advises bank customers to start using the new design cheques at the earliest and eliminate any risks and penalties in the future.
CBB stated that superior features have been introduced in these new cheques with the intention of minimising cheque fraud, increasing efficiency of the current cheque clearing process and to cater for requirements in cheque design for advanced cheque clearing systems.
Banks and their customers stand to benefit from a more efficient clearing process due to the new standardised cheques, the CBB said.-TradeArabia News Service

Leonardo DiCaprio has said he was excited at the prospect of working with Dame Judi Dench on his latest movie, J Edgar.
The veteran British actress plays the Titanic star's mother in Clint Eastwood's J Edgar Hoover biopic, starring Leonardo in the title role.
Hollywood heart-hrob Leonardo, 35, described himself as "a fan".
"She's a sweetheart, she couldn't be more lovely. But as soon as the cameras start rolling and you hear that voice, it's powerful," he said.
"We had a scene where I am freaked out, stuttering, and her voice just froze my spine.
"She has a way of commanding a scene in a room, and it's just astounding."
J Edgar opens in cinemas on Friday January 20.

US ENERGY: PAST, PRESENT, & FUTURE Gas Demand Grows Steadily, but Supply Increases Faster. NATURAL GAS Series: POWERING THE US INTO THE 21st CENTURY. PART 1 OF A 5 PART SERIES. Fourth of Five Stories Appearing Today
Article excerpt
FOR the first time in the modern era of our industry, we have no regulation on production or on end use. Because of that, we see a very exciting, very exciting period for natural gas," says Michael Baly, president of the American Gas Association (AGA).
It's easy to understand why. Disastrous federal regulations crimped gas supplies until 1978, then opened the floodgates. The ensuing chaos hasn't fully ended: Some producers must still sell price-controlled gas for less than the going rate. And Columbia Gas System, whose pipeline subsidiary serves 14 states, recently declared bankruptcy to escape contracts that make it buy gas for up to five times the current spot price.
But price controls are phasing out. And the Bush administration's proposed national energy strategy calls for eliminating an unnecessary "regulatory morass" that remains. If Congress acts, the resulting increase in natural gas consumption could displace 3.7 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) of oil by 2000, the Bush administration says. …

Though a Minnesota native, Betsy Taylor is the quintessential Valley Girl. Tall, blonde and leggy with a shoe fetish, she was living an ordinary life when she had a day from hell that cumulated in her dying—and rising again as Queen of the Vampires. Undead and Unreturnable is the fourth book in the series that follows the trials and tribulations of Queen Betsy as she tries to come to terms with her undead life. Though Undead and Unreturnable can stand on its own, like most series it's better to read the books in sequence, including MaryJanice Davidson's short stories in this universe. While Davidson does a decent job in reintroducing characters and storylines, there's enough back story that a reader starting at Undead and Unreturnable might be a little confused on who fits where and why.

Two Hot! By Cara Summers
According to the buzz at RWA's annual conference this year, sex continues to sell like hotcakes (I don't get the reference either) and the hotter the story, the better. Before erotica/erotic romance became the darling of publishers everywhere, Harlequin pushed the boundaries with their Blaze line.
You know, sexy premise, sexy story. And I'm going to admit it – I fell for a marketing pitch. I picked up Cara Summers' Two Hot! Based on back cover copy alone. Part of Blaze's "Forbidden Fantasies" flash, the book promised me a journey into fantasy numero dos – two men, one heroine.

Weight and See: That not-so-fresh feelingBy Contributor
'The Biggest Loser: Couples' recap, episode 12
By Ginny
Everyone receives a makeover from Tim Gunn, including Enterprise's Roger Shultz. Except that it's "The Biggest Loser" and not "Project Runway." But still, we're interested again.
And after all, isn't that what this show is about, to help fat people conform to society's preferred sexual aesthetic. And also for product placement.
See their dramatic new looks, after the jump …
Tim pickins: Remember the elimination interruptus between Maggie and Brittany from last time? Time to cut the cord, but not before the players give the usual speeches about going for the bigger threat. They eliminate Maggie with four votes.
The seven players are ushered into a department store. They suspect it's for a challenge, but it's actually makeover week. After a little lamenting over the struggles of SWO (shopping while overweight), they meet their personal stylist for the day, Tim Gunn! I totally get goose bumps and let out a little "Eeee!" when the silver ermine strolls in.
Before, Roger had to have his shirts custom-made.
Apparently, from old circus tents.
Tim browses the racks with each player to learn about his personal style. Unfortunately, for Dan, that style is Douchey McDouchebag. But I'm getting ahead of myself.
We learn that Roger likes crazy shirts, the young girls don't want to show their arms, Kelly wants to be feminine, Mark wants Easter egg colors, and Dan has "always wanted to be a part of cool designer jeans." Douche.
(We don't discover what Jay wants, but I guess he'll wear whatever Mark lets him.)
Roger shows Tim 'one of (his) looks.'
Tim shows Roger one of his own.
In response, Tim puts Roger in a boring suit (boo-o-o!), the girls in sleeveless dresses (yay!), Mark in pastels (meh) and Dan in the douchebag look of his dreams (barf). The best part is when they first see their outfits on a mannequin and can't imagine that it's their size.
Also, the look on Brittany's face when she first sees this neckline.
Next, they visit the stylist. Usually, this kind of segment is all about the girls, seeing them in makeup for once and pretty new highlights and cuts. Instead, Dan sucks up all the airtime with his dilemma over finding the most rockin' hairstyle and worrying about what Bob will say if he cuts his beautiful hair. Douche.
This works for me.
Strut, pout, put it out: All dolled up, the players face the challenge, walking the runway to win a cover spot on Prevention magazine. Obviously, they have no control over this, so another prize awaits, a loved one in the audience.
Whatever … let's see how they look!
Mark wears a velvet sports coat from the Taylor Hicks Collection.
A snapshot doesn't do justice to Brittany's bouncy girls.
Hello, ladies!
Jay rocks his first leather jacket ever.
Kelly's cute new cut makes the outfit.
World's most preeminent fashion guru,
and Roger gets a blue suit. Yawn.
I guess all that matters is the reaction from Roger's wife Paige,
as she upgrades him from 'sexy' to 'sexy sexy.'
Douches douching douching douches douche douching douches.
I think Ali looks adorable, and so do the judges:
She wins the cover shoot prize.
Tim gets misty over his protégés.
As for me, I just have something in my eye.
Surprisingly, another challenge takes place, an endurance event on treadmills suspended over the pool. The winner receives a week at a weight-loss spa. Which is what I'm sure everyone wants after three months on this show. Anyway, it comes down to Ali and Mark, and Mark takes it.
The weigh in: Roger is still pulling impressive numbers. Another 9 pounds brings his total loss to 121 pounds, second place for the week.
Jay and Brittany fall to the bottom two, and the tight jock alliance sends Brittany home. Condolences to Brittany, but congratulations to all the single fellas in her hometown!
So which makeover did you like the best? Share your rants and raves in the comments.
"The Biggest Loser: Couples" airs at 7 p.m. Tuesdays on NBC 13.
Previous: The big reunion. Two months early.
Next: The silver tray changes the game. But what hasn't?

When You Go To The Super Bowl, You Can Do Anything.
Professional athletes are just different from you and me. I dont have 4 mansions or 56 cars or enough money to burn 100's anytime I want. I have to wait like the rest of you and do it at tax time. Or when im following an armored car and the door suddenly opens and...perhaps I have said too much.
Pro athletes also get to do way cooler things than you or I. Like watch a taping of Judge Judy. Like Super Bowl coach Jim Harbaugh did a few weeks ago. The episode aired yesterday on WZZM TV 13.
Wait...I could go to a taping of Judge Judy if I wanted to. If I lived in California. Maybe I should just keep following armored cars. THATS how I'll get on Judge Judy.

here. However, I added two roasted (and peeled) poblano peppers to the soy milk in my blender before combining it with the other ingredients. The cupcakes were amazing, the poblano taste was a little subtle and perfect with the almond, and there was just a bit of heat. (Whenever it becomes this cold outside, I welcome a bit of heat in everything!) For the frosting, I used 1 roasted (peeled, this time seeded) poblano pepper along with the other ingredients. I used a different icing recipe than the last time I made these; I wanted something fudgier (is that a word?), something rich. The final result was delicious--so good, that I think I may make adding poblano peppers to my chocolate a regular thing. I hope you enjoy!
Vegan Chocolate Almond Poblano Cupcakes:
makes 12 cupcakes
2 poblano peppers, roasted and peeled (reserve seeds)
1 cup soy milk
1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar (or white vinegar)
3/4 cups evaporated cane juice (granulated vegan sugar)
1/3 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon almond extract
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup cocoa powder
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin pan.
Combine the soy milk, vinegar, and poblano peppers (and seeds) in your blender; blend until smooth and set aside for a few minutes to curdle. Add the sugar, oil, vanilla extract, and other extract, if using, to the soy milk mixture and blend until foamy.
In a large bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add in two batches the wet ingredients to the dry and beat until no large lumps remain.
Pour into liners, filling 3/4 of the way. Bake 18 to 20 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer to a cooling rack and let cool completely.
Vegan Chocolate Poblano Fudgy Frosting:
enough frosting for 12 cupcakes
1 roasted, peeled, seeded poblano pepper
1/2 cup evaporated cane juice (granulated vegan sugar)
1/4 cup cocoa
1/4 cup nondairy milk
3 tablespoon refined coconut oil (refined will not give a coconut flavor)
pinch of sea salt
1/2 teaspoon almond extract
3/4 cup of vegan powdered sugar*
In a blender, combine soymilk and poblano and blend until smooth. If you would like to make two colors of icing, as I did with the green and cocoa, work in two (half-sized) batches, first making the icing without the cocoa, then making the icing with only 1/8 cup cocoa.
Mix granulated sugar, cocoa, nondairy milk (with blended poblano), coconut oil, and salt in a saucepan over medium heat and bring to a boil. Continue to boil for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove mixture from hear and allow to cool completely.
After mixture is cool, stir in almond extract. Beat in the powdered vegan sugar a little at a time until desired consistency is reached.
* Vegan powdered sugar can be quite expensive, so I make my own. Grind one cup of evaporated cane juice in a coffee grinder and add 2 tablespoons tapioca flour (or arrowroot starch or cornstarch). Easy, and much more economical.
Voting will begin no later than Monday, December 29 at 8 p.m. at NO ONE PUTS CUPCAKE IN A CORNER, and will be open through Friday, January 2 at 12 noon.

When Jane initially met Tarzan in the jungle, she was attracted to him, And during her questions about his life , she asked him how he had sex?
'Tarzan not know sex' he replied.
Tarzan said 'Oh …Tarzan use knot hole in trunk of tree.'
Horrified Jane said, ' Tarzan you have it all wrong, but I will show you how to do it properly.'
She took off her clothing and lay down on the ground.
'Here' she said, pointing to her privates, 'you must put it in here.'
Tarzan removed his loin cloth, showing Jane his considerable manhood, stepped closer to her and kicked her in the crotch !
Jane rolled around in agony for what seemed like an eternity.
Eventually she managed to grasp for air and screamed 'What did you do that for?'
Tarzan replied, 'Check for squirrel.'

In 1998 Ribeiro and Reis (Portugal) described arachnoiditis as
"rarely idiopathic".
They stated:
"oil-based intra-thoracic contrast agents (Pantopaque) were associated with Arachnoiditis especially when the material was introduced into the thecal sac and mixed with blood."([1])
A US court case, Staub vs. Eastman Kodak, Alcon and Lafayette, failed in the same year.
Also in 1998, the FDA Division of Epidemiology and Surveillance Database, in a report dated 17th. June, noted the following: of 334 notifications involving patients exposed to iophendylate (Pantopaque) reported to them, 275 were later diagnosed as being a ?cause-effect' of exposure to iophendylate (i.e. 82% were shown to be directly related to the dye).
Meanwhile, in the UK, an individual referred to in documents as
wrote to the Secretary of State for Health, requesting information about Myodil.
He later also approached the Prime Minister in written correspondence, receiving a response from the Medicines Control Agency (MCA) who proved somewhat obstructive.
Accordingly, Mr.A took the matter further and the case was referred to the Ombudsman, being later reviewed by the Parliamentary Committee (case No. A 13/99).
In March of 1998, MP Tim Collins raised the issue of Myodil-induced arachnoiditis in Parliament.
He explained the condition to the House of Commons and made it clear that further investigation was necessary.
At that time, his request for data on the incidence of arachnoiditis in the UK elicited the response that information on the number of cases of adhesive arachnoiditis in the preceding 20 years was "not available". (Official Report, 12 Jan. 1998; Vol. 304 c.152)
Although Baroness Jay had acknowledged that the Department of Health recognised
"the association between the use of Myodil in myelography and the development of arachnoiditis",
and that warnings about this had been included in product information, the Department decided in late 1997, not to institute an inquiry into this issue.
This decision was reiterated on Feb. 1, 1999, when the DOH concluded, after the
"fullest consideration"
that neither Public Inquiry nor Government compensation was warranted.

The Mother Demon, Resurrector or Mother of all Demons is the final boss of Doom 64 and is found on MAP28: The Absolution.
A monstrosity in her own right, the Mother Demon appears as a large demonic larva with dead black eyes with red irises, four arms, a skull-like face and smallish mouth filled with many long, sharp teeth. It has no wings, yet moves by floating around. She makes a soul-chilling cry of discovery upon being roused, a ghastly snarl when moving about and a frightful shriek like a Banshee when she is damaged.
The Mother Demon's attack consists of powerful flame trails, followed by a set of 4 homing fireballs which split up when they hit something.
In the backstory, the Mother Demon appeared in an old relay satellite, battered by neutrons and quarantined by massive levels of radiation. When her presence was made, the satellite activated and sent a message to Earth. Her presence came with many demons and though their energy signatures were caught, the Mother Demon used the radiation levels to escape detection. She has rejuvenation powers and whenever she walked by a corpse of a demon, it was systematically brought back to life. It also made them stronger than before.
After she is killed, the Marine decides to remain in Hell to ensure no demon ever rises again.
Tactical analysis
The Mother Demon will kill you quickly if you come in battle unprepared. Her flame trail, when hit, launches you into the air, making it harder for you to control your movements. At the same time, she will launch four homing rockets at you, being the only monster to perform two attacks at the same time. Even though one homing missile is not as strong as one rocket, getting hit by one of them will bounce you back pretty far and getting hit by all four of them at once can be fatal regardless of your health and armor levels. Dodging the rockets can be a hassle (though you can still hide on the walls like how you fight a revenant), especially when hit by the flame trail or the first rocket. Beware of the homing rockets though, as once they explode, they will send out a barrage of smaller fireballs in all directions.
She is the fastest demon in Doom 64, moving just as fast as the player, and can catch up to the player in seconds, unless the player is using the neutral position reset which makes the player run extremely fast.
The most effective way to defeat the Mother Demon is to use the fully-equipped Unmaker. Not only will the Unmaker do a lot of damage at rapid-firing speeds, but will also stun her to prevent her from using her four homing missiles. She will still attack with the flame trails as the only attack to avoid. Under suppressed fire from the weapon, she will die very quickly.
However, if you did not receive all three of the Demon Keys needed to fully equip the Unmaker, the battle against the Mother Demon is very difficult. To make matters worse, varying upon how many keys you collected if you did not collect all three, your previous battle before facing her may have consumed a lot of ammunition. Your only real choice is to use the BFG 9000, but it requires precise timing and a lot of Plasma Cells conserved from the previous battle against the horde of enemies. The Rocket Launcher is the next best alternative, but defeating the Mother Demon with it takes longer and is more difficult; surprisingly enough, the Mother Demon is not immune to blast damage, taking around 25 rockets to kill.
It is also possible to kill her with the Super Shotgun, by running up to it and shooting you will stun her, she will then use her flame trail that can be easily avoided by side stepping a little, by this time you will be able to shoot her again and stun her again, by doing this you can prevent her from launching her homing rockets and killing her without much problem, it is recommended that this tactic be used by experienced players, since the timing to close up to her and fire without giving her the chance to fire the homing rockets is very small, and the sequence of shooting and side stepping takes a little practice to master, but once the sequence starts, killing the Mother Demon is extremely easy, it takes 42 super shotgun shots to kill the Mother Demon.
Other games
There is a possible reference to the Mother Demon in Doom 3. When the player opens the PDA after obtaining an audio log in the Dig Site, there is a mention of a demon that is said to have given birth to all other demons, though the demon is actually never seen in the game.
In Doom 2016 in the main room with the tanks filled with demons and in the room behind Dr. Olivia Pierce's office where you can find the Soul Cube (which is unusable) and the hologram of the Doom Slayer's tomb along with his suit, you can find a fetus version of what looks similar to the Mother Demon. These creatures are located in the tank closest to the Soul Cube but does not move or attack as she is not fully grown. These appear to be immature versions of the gremlin or the abaddon pilot seen in the Art of Doom, but those creatures especially one form of the Abaddon Pilot look to be inspired by Doom 64 Demon Queen.
While this thing doesn't look exactly like the Mother Demon, slightly different head. It does appear to have evidence of multiple arms in development possibly four.
The final boss of Half-Life, Nihilanth, somewhat resembles Mother Demon. Like Mother Demon, Nihilanth has multiple arms, vestigial legs and an oversized head, and attacks with volleys of homing projectiles.

When going on holiday it's always nice to plan stays to coincide with local festivals and celebrations. With this trip, however, I am where I am when I am and there's little I can do to alter that, as I move inexorably onwards towards my final goal (wherever that may be). I therefore often just miss out on various events that I would dearly love to experience but just can't reach in time. For example here in Norway I missed out on the National Day festivities on the 17th of May, which is supposedly the biggest celebration of the year, where people go a little bit crazy, wrap themselves up in their flags, and get horribly drunk in the streets (the latter is a common theme in Scandinavia). I was also wanting to do a fair amount of hiking whilst here (the landscapes of Denmark and the Netherlands don't really lend themselves to mountaineering), especially in the Jotunheimen national park, which is said to contain some of Norway's most spectacular mountain scenery and highest peaks. Since I would be doing this alone it is imperative to get properly informed, so I made my way to the DNT office (Det Norske Turistforening - Norwegian tourist association specialising in trekking) here in Oslo to enquire about conditions and about getting a map. The guy at the office said that this would be difficult for two reasons: firstly there is still a decent amount of snow from about 1000m and above (i.e. pretty much the entire park) - he even showed me a real-time webcam to prove his point; and secondly that the temporary bridges that are removed over winter have not been replaced, and so all rivers, which are now high with meltwater, need to be forded. Needless to say I will be revising my plans in light of this and will have to opt for lower altitude hiking.
On the other hand, it is possible to stumble across quirky events that you have no idea are happening. And so, to compensate for missing the National Day and being too early for the mountains, I chanced upon the Eurovision Song Contest, which is currently underway here. Although I will have moved on by the time the final contest is held this weekend (and there are no tickets to be had anyway) there have been free concerts held in the city to raise interest among the local population. I happened to chance on one of these as I was strolling through town the other day and so I stopped to listen. Some of the contenders were onstage and I must admit I thought they were rather flaccid. This was made up for, however, by a local warm-up band who outshone the other performers by coming onstage and belting out a series of hard-rock classics, from AC/DC to Guns and Roses, that got the crowd jumping. I suppose Scandinavia, with its penchant for operatic heavy metal, is the only place in the world where you can have a crowd at a free public concert singing along to Highway to Hell.

As part of a larger plan to cut costs in her home state, several news sites report that Arizona Governor Jan Brewer is proposing a $50 annual fee for Medicaid patients who are obese -- a "Medicaid fat fee," as the The Wall Street Journal calls it.
It would be the first time the state-federal agency has charged people for unhealthy behavior, the newspaper said.
The annual fee would be charged to those Medicaid patients who fail to follow a doctor's plan for losing weight.
The governor's proposal is a way to reward healthy habits and demonstrate to patients that obesity raises costs in the system, Arizona Medicaid spokeswoman Monica Coury told The Wall Street Journal.

Please run the tests :)
When I try the chkdsk command "chkdsk C: /f /r it says: the type of the file is ntfs
Cannot lock current drive
Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts (y/n).
I press y and restart but that causes a bsod
If chkdsk gets stuck what should i do? It keeps getting stuck at 17%. I guess ill just leave it running for a few hours and see if it moves past 17. chkdsk didn't really work out for me now I'm gonna try the seatools
Last edited by DMAR; 07 Mar 2016 at 04:23.
What do you mean it didn't work out? It didn't finish?
Please note that chkdsk may take a few hours to several hours to finish depending on how much it has to do and how large the size of the partition is.
Well first when I tried to run the chkdsk command and then restart it caused another bsod. After restarting from the bsod it was checking the drive but got stuck at 17% then it shut down
Do you think I should just take my laptop in to a computer repair shop, or is this fixable on my own?
Depends on the result of SeaTools.
So should I skip the chkdsk and just run seatools?
Ok I'm running seatools for dos now, ill write back when its done. I am running the short test.

It's Okay to Sleep with Him on the First Date: And Every Other Rule of Dating, Debunked
Temporarily Out of Stock Online
Every time you go on a date, you're faced with 347 "rules" on how to act, what to say, when to call him, when to kiss him, and how to play "the game."
These rules do more than just insult your intelligence: they spread anxiety, breed insecurity, make us all more cynical and, worse, when you follow the rules you might overlook your match.
In this empowering he said/she said guide, relationship experts Andrea Syrtash and Jeff Wilser help us take off the rules-colored glasses. The truth is men don't care if you sleep with them on the first date. (If they like you, they'll want to see you again.) How to find success in love? Don't trust the rules; trust yourself.

Read an Excerpt
The rules start before you go on a single date. They affect your psychology and overall approach to romance. Some of them are explicit: "Always let the man pursue." And some of them are well-accepted bits of conventional wisdom:
· You're intimidating to men because you're too successful
· Always let the man pursue
· You find love when you're not looking
· Don't be too picky
· Men love bitches / Nice guys finish last
· Expect love at first sight
On Sex and the City Miranda had an epiphany: Mentioning her job to eligible men in a bar was a buzz kill. They would never be interested in her, because she was a lawyer. After this depressing realization, Miranda decided to approach dating differently and took on the persona of a perky stewardess at a speed-dating event. She attracted a great guy instantly and noted, "Men are threatened by good jobs. They don't want a lawyer." She unlocked the secret: men don't want to be with a successful woman.
I can't tell you how many smart and fabulous single women in Manhattan have uttered the same reason (or excuse, depending on your perspective) for why they're not dating. They've wondered if men are "intimidated" by them. A former client of mine once said, "As long as I'm in this job, I won't attract someone. Guys don't want to be with women they think are too smart."
Kind of condescending to men, no? Besides, the opposite is true. Every decade since 1939, the University of Iowa has conducted a study in which participants are asked to rank the most important qualities they want in a future mate. In the most recent study, in 2008, male participants ranked intelligence as one of the top five attractive qualities out of eighteen that a woman can have. (In case you're wondering, housework was ranked near the bottom at #14.) Not since the 1950s have studies supported the idea that American men don't place a high value on their mate having some smarts.
In a 2012 New York Times piece, writer Stephanie Coontz remarked, "Postwar dating manuals advised women to 'play dumb' to catch a manand 40 percent of college women in one survey said they actually did so. As one guidebook put it: 'Warning . Be careful not to seem smarter than your man.' If you hide your intelligence, another promised, 'You'll soon become the little woman to be pooh-poohed, patronized and wed.'"
My client was quoting a dating manual that was printed half a century ago, and didn't even know it.
The truth? It's actually sexy when a guy sees you as successful and smart because:
· Your passion is sexy. The fact that you're successful shows that you're driven, motivated, and tapped into something. Passion in life translates into passion ahem in other areas.
· It's a lot of pressure for a man to think you're going to rely on him for everything monetarily, emotionally, and otherwise. Even though a number of men like to provide, a man wants to know he's with a healthy and confident woman who isn't relying on him to "complete" her.
· Some men are threatened by a woman who appears to have her life together more than they do. But do you really want to date those men?
But while your success may not actually intimidate a potential date, successful women may scare good men away because:
· In some cases, very successful people show little to no vulnerability. Most dudes don't want to marry a robot.
· Nobody likes a know-itall. A successful woman who puts down everything a guy says or does and corrects him (and the people around her) endlessly won't be attractive. To anybody.
· Some women who have been competing with men in the job market for years have had to develop a thick skin, and sometimes they forget to leave that aggressive attitude at the office. That's not to say a woman should be as demure and delicate as a flower, but she shouldn't lose her femininity just because she has to play tough at work.
Perhaps Miranda attracted her suitor not because she was a flight attendant, but because she was more attentive and playful during the speed-dating session. Smart men find smart, successful women sexyas long as they're also accessible and fun.
This rule reminds me of that scene in Anchorman, the one where Ron Burgundy hears about a female news anchor.
"What?!?! A woman? As an anchor?!?!" Will Ferrell roars, and then knocks over the table in fury.
That scene is funny because it's ridiculous. And this rule is funny because it's ridiculous.
Like many of the rules in this book, it might have had legs in the 70s. In the modern eraand by "the modern era," I mean post-Jimmy Carter administrationthe concept of a "successful career woman" isn't some oddball novelty that perplexes men. We go to college with smart and successful women, we work with smart and successful women, and we respect smart and successful women. It's not that complicated.
Yes, there's still the occasional throwback man who wants a nice, docile, pretty doormat who will never challenge him. A real catch, right? Men (just like women) are into attractiveness, and we find success attractive.
And if the woman makes more money than the guy? Usually it's not an issue. I've dated women who have made plenty more than me (as a freelance writer, this isn't that rare). That said, things can get tricky when the woman makes a lot more money. Even in this case, it's not that we're "intimidated," per se, but it creates some tactical, real-world hurdles that we might or might not overcome.
Let's look at a case study.
Brooke is a lawyer. A damn good oneshe just made partner. She meets a dude on OkCupid who paints circles for a living. The Circle Painter refuses to paint straight lineshis motto is, "Straight lines are artifice; circles are truth"so there's limited demand for his work. Brooke suggests they get sushi; the Circle Painter suggests a happy hour with eight-dollar buckets of PBR. Brooke's a good sport, so she does the Pabst, and they have a good time. Date two: the Circle Painter can no longer afford the beer buckets (rough week for circles), so he suggests they take a walk in the park, where he treats her to a hot dog.
Maybe this lasts for a while. But barring a few unlikely scenarios, this relationship is doomed.
Unlikely Scenario 1:
Brooke is totally, 100 percent cool with changing her lifestyle and living like a college student again.
Unlikely Scenario 2:
Brooke is happy to pick up the bill every time they go to nice places, and more improbably, the Circle Painter is happy to let her. (Tangent: Is it silly and irrational that men feel the need to usually pay? Probably. But right or wrong, that silly and irrational mindset exists. It's also silly and irrational that we still use the electoral college, refuse to adopt the metric system, and call the previewswhich come before the movie, not after"trailers.")
Unlikely Scenario 3:
Brooke and the Circle Painter live out a romantic comedy where true love!!! conquers this fiscal barrier.
Unlikely Scenario 4:
The demand for circles skyrockets, and the Circle Painter gets rich.
Things don't look good for Brooke and the Circle Painter. But this is really only an issue when the income gap is so dramatic that it causes a disparity in lifestylesit's not driven by an intimidation of success.
We like successful women. Thankfully there are lots of them.
A male hippo attracts a female by using his tail to spray her with his feces. While that's perhaps not the most romantic way to pick up, it's one of hundreds of examples in the wild of males trying to secure females' attention in order to mate with them. Male frogs make noise in an effort to elicit the females' response, male house wrens build a nest to attract mates to nest with them, and male turtles show off their strength and compete with other males by stomping their feet and hovering around potential mates.
Any of this male behavior sound familiar?
Baboons are one of the few species in the animal kingdom in which the females initiate mating rituals. If a female baboon is feeling frisky, she simply has to shake her derriere to get some action. (I've seen this baboon-like behavior in bars around town.)
While we can't depend exclusively on the wild to give us insight into our human mating rituals, I do believe there is something instinctual about males pursuing females. However, as with any rule, it's not that clear-cut.
Some menespecially the shy or reserved typeappreciate when a woman takes the lead. And some men simply find it sexy when a woman pursues them.
Thirty-two-year-old Bob admitted, "I love when women pursue. It takes the pressure off of me and shows she's confident!" When I probed and asked Bob if he generally falls hard for women who make most of the advances in courtship, he paused and concluded, "I guess I haven't. But the attention from them is flattering ."
Even though the women Bob's been most attracted to allowed him to pursue them (for the most part), he still needed them to encourage him to do so by being responsive. "There's nothing worse than an icy response when you put yourself out there in dating," he said. "I won't even bother if a woman gives me attitude."
No man will put forth the effort to court a woman who he feels isn't interested. Scratch that. He may still pursue this uninterested woman and work hard to win her over with his charm and wit, but he would much prefer that a woman encourage him to keep pursuing. (Not surprisingly, men aren't big fans of rejection.)
Men are thrilled when a woman indicates interest, reciprocates affection, and acts responsively to their advances. While I do believe it's true that most men want instinctively to pursue women, a caveat to this theory is that women need to encourage the pursuit. If you're too hard to get, most self-confident guys will move on.
Courtship is awkward, exciting, and completely confusing. If it's too straightforward, it loses some of its je ne sais quoi; but if it's a roller-coaster ride full of mixed messages, cold exchanges, and standoffishness, it also doesn't work very well.
I'd be a hypocrite if I instructed you to always wait for a man to pursue you (I don't believe in always or never rules); but if you are generally the pursuer and want your dating luck to change, start by showing subtle interest and then let men make the next moves. These animals may be onto something .
Things you will never hear me say:
"Damn it. The restaurant's giving us a bottle of win . on the house."
"Well, this sucks. The bank just deposited five thousand dollars in my account."
"Bad news. A hot woman just approached me."
I've never understood this rule. For me the math is simple: I like women, I'm lazy, and I like it when things that I like come to me. If a woman pursues me, I'm down, assuming I'm either attracted to her or really drunk.
Of course, the word pursue is trickyit can mean lots of different things. In The Rules: Time-Tested Secrets for Capturing the Heart of Mr. Right, Ellen Fein and Sherrie Schneider counsel "Rule 2: Don't Talk to a Man First (and Don't Ask Him to Dance)" and "Rule 3: Don't Stare at Men or Talk Too Much." In fairness, there's a lot to be said for the psychological power of withholding, so let's look at this a little closer. Specifically, there are four sub-rules on how the woman shouldn't pursue a man:
Sub-rule: Don't talk to a man first (and don't ask him to dance)
I like bold women. If she approaches me and initiates contact? Great. There's no part of me that thinks, consciously or subconsciously, Hmm she's hot. but I would like her more if I had to work harder. It's true that men enjoy the chase, but the chase is not yet over. It's possible for a woman to initiate contact and still maintain a hint of intrigue.
Sub-rule: Don't stare at men or talk too much
In The Rules, this one begins: "Looking at someone first is a dead giveaway of interest. Let him look at you! If he doesn't notice you first, he's probably not interested. Keep walking; someone else will notice you." This cracks me up. If a woman so much as looks at us, we'll get bored and lose interest, moving on to tougher conquests. Really? Plus, here's the thing about guys: we're clueless. What you think of as a BIG SIGNAL might be lost on us completely. Sometimes you need a more aggressive pursuit just to land on our foggy radar.
Sub-rule: The woman shouldn't ask the man out on a date
Look, if I like her, I like her. If she asks me out and I'm into her? Sign me up. This doesn't mean that the woman should pursue or that she must pursue, but if she does, she's not torpedoing our chances. Like all things, of course, this has its limits. Smothering is a turnoff. And then there's this next one, the fourth categor .
Sub-rule: The woman shouldn't approach the man at the bar and say, "Hey, stranger. Let's go home and fuck."
I've never been lucky enough to actually hear a woman say those words. And here's where the rule makes some sense. If it seems too easy, I'll get skeptical, I'll get nervous, and I'll wonder if something's wrong. Quick example: While on OkCupid, a woman messaged me and said, "This might sound forward, but I also live in Brooklyn. Wanna meet up for drinks tonight and have some fun?" Maybe it's hypocritical, maybe it's sexist, and maybe it contradicts my own philosophy, but it triggered my Spidey Sense. I didn't bite. Because you know what? If the bank deposits five thousand dollars into my account, there's probably something wrong with the transaction, and I'd be a sucker to accept it blindly.

You're an idiot, mate. It's called a "review" so you can review the book. If you haven't read it, keep your opinions to yourself or post on a forum.
I wish this book had been around back in my dating days, years ago before I was married. It would have saved me a lot of heartache and anxiety! This book is well written and I like that there is both a male and female's perspective. P.S. KJ, for what it's worth, you're an idiot for reviewing a book you've never even read, let alone giving it zero stars. I hope everyone else will ignore his weightless review and give this great book a read.
I haven't read the book, nor am I going to read the book. It is not okay to sleep with a guy on a first date. I have no respect for a woman if she comes close to letting me go there too fast. I don't have any respect for friends who brag about their conquests either. Nor do most guys when the conversation comes up. The question comes down to how you want to be viewed in your relationship. Do you want to be loved and thought about because of you or because of the physical pleasure you provide? Maybe you feel you need to go there because you can't keep a guy or girl interested otherwise. Well, this is a bigger problem with how you handle the date. Are you showing interest in him/her? Are you talking about topics which interest the person? Are you complaining about anything? Sharing too much info? Most of my dates fail because either I or the person I'm out with complain or share too much information. Sorry, but you are not going to get a second date telling me about your doctor being too aggressive cleaning up your uterus. We are not going out again if you tell me how you've been in and out of the doctor for a year. I don't want to know you have daddy issues on date one. I don't want you planning your life with me, even a month out, if we just met. I don't want to know you have problems with your family. Or you don't really have any friends. I want to leave the first date and most of them smiling because I'm lucky enough to meet you and to continue seeing you. Good luck!

Logitech no longer produces left-handed mice. It may be possible to find a MX-610 left-handed mouse, but Logitech discontinued this model. The MX-610 was Logitech's first left-handed wireless mouse and received impressive reviews upon its initial release in 2006.
A spokesperson for Logitech revealed that left-handed versions of the company's products sold poorly and that left-handed users generally purchased right-handed mice. The company stopped making them and began offering streamlined, ambidextrous models with sleek designs and low profiles that were comfortable in either hand.
The M-175 and M-185 are ambidextrous devices designed for use by left-handed and right-handed users. The M-185 features a nano USB receiver and can get up to 12 months of use from one AA battery. Reviews indicate that it glides smoothly and is comfortable in either hand. Logitech software can be refined to fine-tune settings for left-handed users beyond the native support for switching to left-handed clicking built into Windows.

The department of Esteli covers a relatively small area in the northern region of Nicaragua, being approximately just over two thousand square kilometers. The estimated population of two hundred and fifteen thousand are scattered across the six municipalities which includes La Trinidad, San Nicolas, Condega, Pueblo Nuevo, Esteli and San Juan de Limay. Cities, towns and villages in the Esteli department welcome visitors and tourists warmly, as they eagerly share their traditions, culture, talents and natural wonders.
There are many noteworthy sites in the Esteli department and most of its cities have a few attractions worth exploring. In general, the department is known for its lucrative tobacco industry and arts and crafts, but has become more popular with foreign visitors for its archaeological sites, breathtaking waterfalls and dedication to conservation through its nature reserves and national parks. Many nature enthusiasts flock to the region, to enjoy a peaceful adventure of discovering the wildlife and birds of Esteli.
Just outside the city of Esteli, visitors will find ancient petroglyths, and in Pueblo Nuevo, fossils and the skeletal remains of ancient animals have been found. There is dirt road from Esteli to a small town called San Juan de Limay. The landscapes along the way can only be described as magnificent, and the town itself is legendary for the creation of wonderful soapstone statues and works of art. The Esteli department is inspiring and beautiful and visitors to Nicaragua should not miss out on the opportunity to explore this amazing region.

I agree with the above comment. I was born & raised there by medical missionary parents, returning to the US in 1968. Have been back several times for visits, and with a youth group from our church in '07 to help with a buidling project at an orphange in Chinandega. We were able to sightsee with friends for about 5 days after working on the orphange, and enjoyed ourselves immensely! Nicaragua has much natural beauty, cultural riches, neat historical sights, and the people so warm and friendly. Tourism would definitely help the country's economy, and they have much to be proud of!!!!

Project: West Branch Grand Calumet River Reach 1-2, Roxana Marsh Legacy
Location: East Chicago. IN
Products: Organoclay2 PM-199
Background: in 2011. clean up began on Reach 1 and Roxana Marsh in the West Branch of the Grand Calumet River. This project involved mechanical and hydraulic dredging and removal of 222,000 cubic yards of sediments and soils impacted with PAH, PCB, and various heavy metals. The estimated $50 million project was funded under the Great Lakes Legacy Act (GLLA), with the GLLA contributing to 65% of the overall project cost.
Challenge: As with Reach 3, there were still some geo-mechanical challenges for the design engineer due to the fact that the organic laden sediments being capped were unstable in some areas. Furthermore, this stretch of the river begins to widen out considerably and is subject to more water flow from nearby municipal sewage treatment plant (POTW) discharge.
Solution: The solution included a six inch bulk reactive cap, utilizing a minimum of 2.49 lbs. per ft3 active loading of Organoclay PM-199, to be placed in the river channel where contaminant concentrations were the highest The Organoclay bulk reactive cap would then be topped with one foot of sand for armoring. The capping material was mixed in a slurry with water and pumped for placement with BCS™ system. This reactive capping system should provide a 420 year design life.
Result: Placement of the engineered cap was completed successfully and on schedule. No issues of separation occurred within the Organoclay/sand slurry during transportation or placement. The Organociay/Sand cap was placed in thin lifts and there were no subsequent issues with cap stability or product displacement prior to the installation of the armoring layer. In total, 345,000 cubic yards of contaminated sediment were effectively isolated by the Organoclay PM-199 reactive cap.

Ultimately, the only person that cares about your children in the world is you. A school bus driver only cares about getting paid. The same is true for a teacher. The same is true for a person who provides social services or judges a family law case. A child is the most safe with his biological parents.
Yes, I would feel safer driving my children to school because at least my car has seat belts. Busses should be required to have seat belts from now on and it makes no sense that innocent children are sent to school without them. They have no way of protecting themselves.
On the one hand there is no telling who is driving my children. They may have a record for driving drunk or under the influence. Of course there are other risks when it comes to having strangers driving my children They may not have had the most extensive background checks and may be a rapist or pedophile. There are a lot of things that could happen to the children.
Although this is a tremendous tragedy, the reality is that this type of thing does not happen often at all. I cannot recall the last time I heard about a serious school bus crash. It's unfortunate, but it is a risk that you take, no matter what mode of transportation you take.
