Sonic the Hedgehog 2 Trailer Release Date Set for December 10
Sonic the Hedgehog 2 trailer will release Friday, December 10, Paramount Pictures India has announced. The exact release time of the trailer is unclear, but it will premiere during The Game Awards that are scheduled to begin Thursday, December 9 at 5pm PT / 8pm ET. That translates to Friday, December 10 at 6:30am IST. The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 trailer will only be available in English — there will be no Hindi, Tamil, or Telugu versions, I've been told. A first sequel to the 2020 original, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 finds Sonic (Ben Schwartz) teaming up with Tails (Colleen O'Shaughnessey) to prevent the evil Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) and his new partner Knuckles (Idris Elba) from finding a mystical gemstone.
"The first poster for #SonicMovie2 has arrived! And that's not all – The world premiere of the new #SonicMovie2 trailer drops tomorrow in the @TheGameAwards at 8ET," Paramount Pictures India wrote on its social media channels on Wednesday. The Sonic the Hedgehog 2 poster, as you can see in full below, finds Sonic on top of a propeller plane being flown by Tails, with Dr. Robotnik giving chase. Carrey's Robotnik is bald, just as we last saw him on the Mushroom Planet at the end of Sonic the Hedgehog. Sonic's video game sidekick Tails was introduced in a post-credits scene attached to Sonic the Hedgehog, on a mission to find Sonic.
In addition to Schwartz as Sonic, O'Shaughnessey as Tails, Carrey as Robotnik, and Elba as Knuckles, Sonic the Hedgehog 2 also stars James Marsden as the sheriff and Sonic's friend Tom Wachowski, Tika Sumpter as Tom's veterinarian wife Maddie Wachowski, Natasha Rothwell as Maddie's older sister Rachel, Adam Pally as Tom's chief deputy Wade Whipple, and Lee Majdoub as Robotnik's former assistant Agent Stone. Shemar Moore has an undisclosed role on Sonic the Hedgehog 2.
Behind the camera, Jeff Fowler returns as director, alongside returning writers Pat Casey and Josh Miller. They are joined by writer John Whittington. Neal H. Moritz, Toby Ascher, Toru Nakahara, and Hitoshi Okuno are producers. Haruki Satomi, Yukio Sugino, Shuji Utsumi, Nan Morales, and Tim Miller are executive producers on the new video game movie. Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is a production of Sega Sammy Group, Original Film, Marza Animation Planet, and Blur Studio. Paramount Pictures is the worldwide distributor; Viacom18 Studios — jointly owned by Paramount parent ViacomCBS and Reliance Industries-owned Network 18 — handles distribution in India.

Ciara Judge is an 18 year-old scientist and entrepreneur from Kinsale, Ireland. Over the past three years, she has won the BT Young Scientist, the European Union Contest for Young Scientists and the Google Global Science Fair with her teammates for their research on the work of rhizobium with cereal crops. In September 2014, Time Magazine named Ciara as one of the 25 most influential teens worldwide, and she has been pegged as a 'rising star' and 'one to watch' by several national and international news outlets. She is now co-director of her first company, Germinaid Innovations, with Emer Hickey. Last summer, she began work on her second startup PurchaseMate, while studying at MIT, Boston.
Ciara is currently working with a global team on a new not-for-profit youth outreach platform called Project Zilkr to provide an online structured program that inspires young entrepreneurs. Ciara's entrepreneurial exploits, along with her philanthropic efforts with the Chernobyl Children's Project, were recently recognised at the 2015 Irish Tattler National Woman of the Year Awards.
Ciara is an internationally accomplished speaker, having spoken at events including We Day UK 2015, Wembley Arena, London; Thought For Food Summit 2015, Lisbon; The Web Summit 2015, Dublin; the Digital Ireland Forum 2014, Dublin; and the EU Innovation Convention 2014, Brussels.


I've mentioned before that my current go-to spaced-repetition system is Anki, but there are a lot of other options out there, including well-known systems such as Smart.fm, Mnemosyne, and SuperMemo.
Another contender in the field is Cramberry. What's kept me from making more use of Cramberry is that you can only study 30 cards per day in the free version of their web app. That said, they're doing a promotion right now that will get U.S. residents their iPad apps for free, and the first 50 people to download the iPad app can also get their iPhone app for free. And I'm guessing that those apps, which currently cost $2.99 (iPad) and $4.99 (iPhone), don't have the any study count limitations, even when you're getting them for free.
Get your free apps, after the jump.
To celebrate the launch of our new Cramberry app for iPad, we're giving away free copies of Cramberry for iPhone and iPad. Here's how it works: Send us an email (contact@cramberry.net) telling us how you use Cramberry, and we'll send you a coupon code for a free copy of Cramberry for iPad. Once you've downloaded the iPad app, send us your iTunes receipt, and we'll send you another coupon code for Cramberry for iPhone. You must download the iPad app to receive the iPhone app. You can download the app from iTunes on your computer; you don't need an iPad to participate in this offer.
Note: this offer is only available to U.S. residents. Sorry!
Only the first 50 people to download the iPad app will receive free copies of the iPhone app, so act quickly!
So while the iPad app appears to be available for all, the iPhone app only goes to the first 50 to get in line.
If you're not already signed up for Cramberry, you probably should sign up and give it a whirl before contacting them. With a little luck, I'll be checking out a free copy of their iPhone app shortly (don't have an iPad, nor any plans to get one, so checking that out will have to wait, despite the fact the download is already sitting in iTunes).
This post was updated a few hours after the original post to reflect that only the first 50 downloaders of the iPad app can get the iPhone app for free, which was only revealed by Cramberry in the email in which they sent the promo code for the iPad app.
Great info; thanks! I'm learning both Arabic & Greek right now!

This year, the Student Activities Funding Committee (SAFC) allocated $129,500 for the weekend's budget which goes to the Entertainment Board (eBoard) and Bowdoin Student Government (BSG). The Orient could not obtain a clear breakdown of the cost of each aspect of Ivies, but the eBoard spends the majority of this budget on booking musical acts. Additional costs include Facilities work orders for setup and clean up, extra staff and overtime pay for Security, Dining and Facilities employees and at least $4,500 for food trucks.
Ivies is almost entirely paid for with money from the SAFC, whose budget is paid for by a $484 fee in each student's tuition bill, according to Director of Student Activities Nate Hintze.
"This year, the only funds from the College will go to helping to pay for a food truck on Friday," Hintze said.
Planning begins with the eBoard's survey in September, which samples the student body's music opinions. After assessing student preferences, the eBoard selects musical acts.
Planning for Ivies involves many hours and negotiations with several different parties.
"It could be a full time job," Hintze said.
Bowdoin hires an agent to attract acts and help negotiate details of the musical contracts, which include accommodations and performers' arrival and departure times; Hintze and his staff take care of the hotel bookings. Hintze works with Moonlighting Production, a local production company, to sort out sound and lighting equipment and coordinates with Facilities, Dining, Security and a tent rental company. Each year, he reserves a 80-by-150 foot tent in case of rain.
There is also a company that sets up barricades in front of the stages. Student Activities books hotels for them as well.
Hintze and Student Activities staff will be working the events all weekend.
Security began its intensive planning about a month ago, according to Director of Safety and Security Randy Nichols.
"We have detailed operations, planning and operations orders that highlight how we deploy our resources. So, we know where most of the events are taking place—certainly the ones that are supposed to take place—and we have staff [at] several of them," Nichols said.
This weekend, every available officer on the Security patrol staff of over 20 members, as well as shuttle drivers, will be on the job. Many will work double shifts.
"Our overtime budget takes a little bit of a hit during Ivies. All available officers are assigned," Nichols said.
Nichols will be taking periodic naps on a cot he keeps in his office.
Facilities is responsible for the setup of the weekend's events, starting with assembling the stage in David Saul Smith Union on Wednesday. On Friday, a crew moves it to Farley Field House in trucks. Facilities will blanket the Field House with giant tarps to protect the turf and position trash cans in locations where students might be drinking.
When Ivies weekend is over, Facilities takes everything down to ensure that athletic teams can resume practice on Monday. Housekeeping also works extra to clean up the messes that students leave behind in the common areas of dorms and College Houses.

Fibromyalgia (FM) affects at least 6 million Americans (1) and is the third most prevalent rheumatologic disorder (after osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis) representing 5% of family practice office visits and 20% of rheumatology visits. Approximately 90% of FM patients are women between the ages of 40 and 60 years, with an average age of 49. Some physicians feel FM does not exist and offer no therapeutic options while others over diagnose the condition using Fibromyalgia as a "wastebasket diagnosis." (2, 3).
FM is a condition characterized by widespread pain in the muscle and soft tissue fibers of the body lasting at least three months. Other symptoms associated with FM include chronic fatigue (physical or mental), tiring easily, morning stiffness, urinary urgency, anxiety or stress, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), sleep disturbance, tingling and numbness, excessive menstrual bleeding, and gastrointestinal symptoms (2).
Approximately 75% of Fibromyalgia sufferers experience sleep disturbance, which can range from insomnia to wakefulness to non-restorative sleep. Their discomfort can be aggravated by extremes in temperature, as well as humidity (2, 4). Some characteristic symptoms of fibromyalgia and associated prevalence (pain symptoms) include widespread pain (98%), pain in the neck (85%), low back (79%), mid back (72%), 15 or more painful sites (56%), headaches (53%), and difficulty with menstruation (41%) (2).
If you experience tenderness in any number of these locations, it may indicate you suffer from Fibromyalgia. A chiropractor can recognize and detect these tender points in a person's body and offer a multifaceted healthcare treatment plan including exercise therapy, stress reduction, nutrition, and manual therapies that has shown the most promise for Fibromyalgia sufferers (5). In a study reported in the American Journal of Physical Medicine Rehabilitation, Chiropractic care scored amongst the most effective measures, more effective than drugs (7) that may only temporarily mask symptoms with potentially harmful side effects.

Q: python MNIST dataset "no attribute train_images" I'm using python3.7 and trying to use MNIST train data images.
Instead of using PyTorch, tf, kears framwork which help to use dataset easily, I tried using mnist module directly.
I was following a tutorial for CNN, there was
import mnist

Then I tried "pip install python-mnist" (after uninstall python-mnist, I 've done 'pip install mnist') and it was downloaded successfully.
then I typed same codes to make train images.
train_images = mnist.train_images()
however it says "AttributeError: module 'mnist' has no attribute 'train_images'"
I checked print(mnist) and it gives the path,
but print(mnist.train_images) gives same error message.
As far as I know, it is possible to use functions in 'init.py', but it doesn't seem to.. or what am I getting wrong?
enter image description here
++ furthermore, even if I deleted mnist folder, and run the same code, it still exists printing out the same path, which I believe it's supposed to print 'there is no module mnist' .. what kind of knowledge am I missing now..? :(
Thank you in advance,

A: Actually, you just need to follow the instruction on the Github page of MNIST (link).
After installing the lib with pip install python-mnist, you should clone the repo and execute a script to download the mnist data:
git clone https://github.com/sorki/python-mnist
cd python-mnist
./get_data.sh

You data will be saved in a folder named data, after that you can call it in code using:
from mnist import MNIST
mndata = MNIST('data/')
mndata.gz = False
images, labels = mndata.load_training()

The images variable is a list of lists of pixels, you should reshape it after that to see the images.
NB: If I were you, I will just use pytorch or Keras because is a lot easier and they do the job for you. After that, if you dont want to use tensors, you can just convert them back to numpy arrays.

Also note if you have a file ./mnist.py in your local folder, then this will take over and prevent you from importing the desired mnist library.

A: just use
\\\
\\\\
from mnist import *

x_train=train_images()

y_train=train_labels()

Edwards, Hammonds led Georgia to 80-63 rout of Tennessee
By PAUL NEWBERRY , AP Sports Writer, Associated Press
ATHENS, Ga. (AP) — Freshman Anthony Edwards scored 20 of his 26 points in the first half, pushing Georgia to a big lead that carried the Bulldogs to an 80-63 victory over Tennessee on Wednesday night.
After a brutal three-game stretch against ranked teams, Georgia (11-5, 1-2 Southeastern Conference) romped past the Volunteers.
Tennessee (10-6, 2-2) showed a bit of life with a 9-0 run in the opening minutes, but the Bulldogs dominated the rest of the way.
With Edwards hitting from all over the court, Georgia built a 47-28 lead that essentially settled this one by halftime.
Late in the opening period, Edwards drove right down the lane for a two-handed dunk that brought the crowd at Stegeman Coliseum to its feet. He had them yelling even louder when a nifty move at the top of the key freed him up for a 3-pointer that made it 47-25.
Edwards grabbed at the "Georgia" written across the front of his jersey and waved his arms to rev up the student section.
Rayshaun Hammonds added 21 points for Georgia, including back-to-back 3s that suddenly pushed the lead into double figures at 32-19.
Jordan Bowden led Tennessee with 12 points and Josiah-Jordan James added 11.
TENNESSEE NEWCOMER
Uros Plavsic played his first game for the Volunteers after being declared eligible by the NCAA.
He wasn't much of a factor in 17 minutes, scoring five points and grabbing three rebounds.
The 7-foot transfer from Arizona State was initially denied a waiver allowing him to play this season.
After appealing the decision, Tennessee announced Tuesday that an NCAA committee had restored Plavsic's eligibility, effective immediately.
Tennessee: The Vols' first six shots were from beyond the arc. They probably should have been working a little closer to the basket, finishing just 6 of 26 from 3-point range. ... Bowden picked up his third foul in the opening minute of the second half but was able to make it the rest of the way.
Georgia: Three freshmen — Edwards, Toumani Camara and Sahvir Wheeler — started for the second game in a row. Camara had eights points, while Wheeler finished with five. ... Edwards made 7 of 8 free throws after going 4 of 11 at the line in last weekend's loss to Auburn. ... The Bulldogs matched their win total from last season. They went 11-21 in coach Tom Crean's debut year, including a dismal 2-16 mark in SEC play.
Tennessee: Faces state rival Vanderbilt in Nashville on Saturday.
Georgia: Travels to Mississippi State on Saturday for the first of two straight SEC road games.

Grace Center
Dowa District, Malawi
Project Needing Funds:
Two classroom block for the primary school
Labour and bricks will be provided by the school community
Grace Primary School is situated on land owned by the church. It was started in April 2012 with 100 grade one students; by September 2013 the enrolment had grown to over 200 students in grades one and two with 8 teachers. As the school strives to hold class size to 25 students per teacher, the present 2 classrooms is inadequate for the number of students. In addition, their goal is to add a grade level each year.
The centre aims to address some of the needs of a poverty stricken area of the country. It runs a boys' and a girls' home, a community health education program, agriculture program, and pre-school and primary schools. It also runs a textile centre which offers a training programme for women. Grace Centre is operated by Circle of Hope International, a faith-based community development organization and partners with groups in the USA, the Rotary Club International and the Grace Alliance Church in Malawi.
Past Projects:
In progress - Construction of a two classroom block for Grace Primary School at Grace Center, Dowa District, Malawi. Construction materials include bricks donated by the community, cement, wooden trusses, cement window blocks and iron roofing. The classroom block has a wide covered porch in front and each classroom measures 10x14 metres.

Preliminary results from a randomized controlled study led by researchers from Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and the University of Toronto show that the math knowledge of children using JUMP Math grew twice as much as that of children using the usual methods of math instruction in a school district in Ontario.
A team from Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, The Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and the University of Toronto conducted a randomized controlled study which followed 272 students randomly selected from 29 classrooms, in 18 schools, in a rural Canadian school board. Teachers (classes) were randomly selected to use either JUMP Math or the incumbent math program, and the teachers in each group received equivalent training in the respective programs. Researchers found that the math knowledge of children using JUMP Math grew twice as much as that of children using the incumbent program. Study results are under peer review and JUMP eagerly awaits publication of the full report.

Open Dynamics Bags Two Awards at MSC Malaysia APICTA 2011
By JohnCreative - October 31, 2011

And now, we are enormously happy and incredibly excited to be awarded two prizes from MSC APICTA. Of course, this is just the beginning. Our vision to make Joget Workflow into a widely adopted platform for developing process-driven web apps has only just begun." said Julian Khoo, VP Product Development.
"The timing of winning these awards is perfect as we will be releasing the highly anticipated Joget Workflow v3 in the coming month." he added.
Open Dynamics will represent Malaysia to compete in the respective categories at the International APICTA Awards 2011 which will be held from November 8 – 11 at the Dusit Thani Pattaya Hotel, Pattaya, Thailand.

Drivers in Seattle's for-hire industry expressed frustration at today's ruling by the federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals that partially reverses a lower court's decision to uphold Seattle's collective bargaining law.
"Drivers have already waited for years for fair pay and the right to a union."
Drivers called on the City of Seattle to enact new policies to protect drivers, level the playing field in the industry, and ensure that drivers can earn a living wage. "Drivers have already waited for years for fair pay and the right to a union. Today's court decision emphasizes the urgent need for the Seattle City Council to step in to improve pay for drivers and pass a Driver/Passenger Bill of Rights," Creery said.
Because of their disputed status as independent contractors, for-hire drivers who work for Uber and Lyft have not been protected by traditional labor laws or state and local laws, such as Seattle's $15 an hour minimum wage law and Washington State's new paid sick leave law. In April, the City of Seattle passed a resolution to study the industry and consider regulations that could lead to better pay and other protections for drivers.
In 2014, Uber and Lyft drivers sought assistance from Teamsters Local 117 to improve their pay and working conditions. In May 2014, drivers established ABDA to promote fairness, justice, and transparency in the for-hire industry.
Drivers in Seattle's for-hire industry expressed disappointment at yesterday's order by the federal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals to temporarily block Seattle's collective bargaining law.
Seattle for-hire drivers who work for companies like Uber and Lyft are not protected by traditional labor laws, such as Seattle's $15 an hour minimum wage law and its paid sick and safe ordinance.
"We've been waiting for two years to be union, to be human beings."
Uber and Lyft drivers sought assistance from Teamsters Local 117 to improve their pay and working conditions. In 2014, drivers formed ABDA to promote fairness, justice, and transparency in the industry. They helped pass a 2015 law that gave drivers in the City of Seattle the right to unionize.
On Thursday, August 24, Judge Robert Lasnik of the federal District Court of Washington issued an order that lifted a preliminary injunction blocking the law. Yesterday's ruling by the 9th Circuit temporarily puts the law on hold again.
"We are confident the 9th Circuit will uphold the lower court's ruling that gives drivers a voice as intended under the law. For-hire drivers should have the same right to self-determination shared by millions of working people across the country. Like other workers, they should be able to stand together in their union to improve their pay and working conditions," said John Scearcy, Secretary-Treasurer of Teamsters Local 117.
We are pleased to see that Judge Lasnik has ruled in favor of giving drivers in Seattle's for-hire industry a voice as intended under the law.
For-hire drivers in Seattle should have the same freedom afforded to millions of working people across the country. They should have the right to stand together in their union to improve their pay and working conditions. They should have the opportunity to contribute to improving safety and reliability to benefit the traveling public. This law enables them to accomplish those goals.
We urge companies like Uber and Lyft to stop their efforts to disenfranchise their drivers by attempting to undermine the law. They should welcome the judge's ruling as it provides them with a real opportunity to partner with drivers to improve our economy and lift up our community.
We thank Judge Lasnik for allowing the law to work as it was intended: as an innovative effort to address the many challenges and injustices facing workers in the on-demand economy. This ruling benefits the community of drivers not only in Seattle, but across the country.
Oxford Internet Institute has published "Towards a Fairer Gig Economy", a collection of articles examining the social and economic problems associated with the "gig" economy. Entries are penned by academics, researchers and include an article written by our Local 117 Association Policy Coordinator, Dawn Gearhart.
"Unions cannot collectively bargain with an algorithm, they can't appeal to a platform, and they can't negotiate with an equation."
In "Giving Uber Drivers a Voice in the Gig Economy", she examines the impact of automatized app platforms on drivers in a system designed to disempower workers. Technology that was welcomed for new opportunities brought with it stagnant problems: falling wages, long hours and poor working conditions. Organizing app-based drivers presents a new challenge for the unions, and yet Teamsters have led this fight.
Gearhart highlights successful efforts of the drivers to reverse adverse effects of the new technology by creating the ABDA association, mobilizing against cuts in pay rates and working to successfully pass legislation in Seattle that empowers drivers.
Uber drivers at the company office in Tukwila on April 4. The group was there to protest unfair deactivation.
Seattle for-hire drivers who are seeking to unionize under the city's new collective bargaining law are determined to continue their organizing efforts after a federal district court judge issued an order temporarily blocking the new law.
"This is just going to make us come together and fight more."
Another Uber driver, Peter Kuel, also vowed to continue the organizing efforts. "The judge needs to understand what we're going through. It's too much. We feel the pain doing this job. We are not going to give up. We will continue fighting for those who cannot speak themselves," he said.
Don Creery, a union supporter who has been driving with Uber since 2014, said drivers are facing so many issues that the ruling would not prevent them from continuing to seek representation.

Uber has spent the better part of two years trying to stop their drivers from having a voice.
They have repeatedly blocked their drivers' right to unionize in the courts, run anti-Union ads in the Seattle Times and during a nationally-televised Seahawks game. They even have their own podcast aimed at silencing drivers.
Instead of raising standards for drivers who have repeatedly decried the company's lack of transparency, poor working conditions, and low pay, Uber has focused its efforts on making sure drivers have as little control as possible over their own livelihoods.
Uber's most recent attempt to silence their drivers involves a letter to the City of Seattle contesting our Union's application to become a qualified driver representative under the City's new collective bargaining law.
A network of European and North American unions, labor confederations, and worker organizations issued a call yesterday for transnational cooperation between workers, worker organizations, platform clients, platform operators, and regulators to ensure fair working conditions and worker participation in governance in the growing world of digital labor platforms such as Clickworker, Amazon Mechanical Turk, Jovoto, and Uber.

Q: Jenkins SoapUI Request isn't received Global Properties when it is run in Jenkins I'm configuring a job which can run weekly.
c:
cd C:\Program Files\SmartBear\SoapUI-5.4.0\bin
testrunner.bat  -c"articleRequest" "D:\projects\test\soapui-test\testing-soapui-project.xml"

Above is my command line block, which I put in Jenkins job. When I run it in Jenkins, the Global Properties parameter cannot be passed in the request.
    <subject>
       <party>
            <key id="${#Global#companyNoID}" source="T"/>
            <company/>
        </party>

And the result after a run with Jenkins
    <subject>
        <party>
            <key id="" source="T"/>
            <company/>
        </party>

Note: Currently, I host my Jenkins at Local Machine, and my above block command is run fine in window cmd.
Please advise

A: Global properties are saved in your soapUI settings file, typically called soapui-settings.xml in your home directory, rather than in your project file. So, you have a couple of options:

*

*Refer to your settings file using the -t <arg> argument for testrunner.bat. You'd have to copy soapui-settings.xml to your Jenkins box along with your project file.

*Pass your global property on the testrunner.bat command-line call using a -Gproperty.name=value option.

HomeUSReps. Gaetz, Greene Combine Forces to Rally Trump Base
Reps. Gaetz, Greene Combine Forces to Rally Trump Base
May 1, 2021 Masooma Haq US 0
Reps. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), two of the strongest supporters of former President Donald Trump's America First agenda, are joining forces.
The duo filed paperwork with the Federal Election Committee on April 30 for a joint fundraising committee called Put America First, which will allow them to combine their efforts to raise money.
The pair also announced that they will kick-off an "America First Tour" on May 7 with an event at The Villages, a large retirement community in Florida.
"The radical left is coming for you. And they know I'm in the way. Come stand with me as we fight back together against this radical president and his far-left agenda," Gaetz said in a new radio ad for the May 7 event, Politico reported.
"This past week has been full of encouragement from President Trump, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Jim Jordan to the MAGA nation that shared so much love. So let me assure you, I have not yet begun to fight for the country I love, and for the nation that I know benefits from America First principles. I'm built for the battle, and I'm not going anywhere," said Gaetz during a "Save America Summit" in Florida on April 9.
Gaetz said he will take on the establishment wings of both parties to preserve America's core values.
Gaetz criticized GOP leader Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) after she voted to impeach Trump earlier this year. He has been outspoken against policies that kill jobs in America or give money to foreign companies over American ones.
On March 24, Gaetz introduced the "The No China Act," which would ensure that American taxpayer dollars used in any COVID-19 funding package do not support the communist regime in China or businesses owned by the Chinese government.
"Every single American worker displaced by COVID-19 should be fully compensated before one nickel from our treasury goes to Chinese-owned corporations operating here in the United States. Full stop," Gaetz said in a statement.
Greene has also gained notoriety for her consistent criticism of the Biden Administration's policies on everything from gun control to immigration. She often speaks out against Democrat socialist policies and was stripped of her House committee assignments over social media posts she made before being elected.
A document outlining Greene's "America First Caucus" was published by a media outlet on Friday, with the document drawing criticism from Democrats and Republicans for phrases such as, "America is a nation with a border, and a culture, strengthened by a common respect for uniquely Anglo-Saxon political traditions."
Critics said some of the language in the document was hateful and racist. But Greene in a series of tweets said she did not write or say any of the phrases in the posting.
The media "released a staff-level draft proposal from an outside group that I hadn't read," she wrote.
"The scum and liars in the media are calling me a racist by taking something out of context. This is just a repeat of Jewish Space Lasers. Another term I never used & the media made up. It's more proof so-called journalists lie and create false narratives. The media are the ones focused on race & use it to divide the American people with hate through identity politics."

Do we sell Legal Highs?
We definitely do not sell legal highs at Just Feminized. After the birth of legal highs such as methedrone, m-cat, meow, 4mmc or what ever else you might call it. Once these synthetic drugs hit the UK it changed things forever. There was massive debate as to the legal system in the UK and how these products should be processed in law. After the ban of mephedrone came things actually seemed to get worse as every new drug that came out of china became more and more dangerous, and more potent. What UK law thought it was changing for the better was actually initially changing for the worse. As a result of all this we have absolutely nothing to do with party pills or legal highs at just feminized.
Is Salvia Divinorum Legal in UK?
As of May 2016 Salvia Divinorum has been placed into the psychoactive substances list and banned for sale in the UK. It still remains legal to poses for personal use but it was banned along with many other substances that were considered to be hazardous to public health.

Bide Awhile Animal Shelter Society has purchased 1,000 copies of The Happy Tale of Two Cats, and 1,000 copies of The Lucky Tale of Two Dogs by author Cathy M. Rosenthal, to donate to local groups and organizations, with the goal of teaching young kids about proper pet care.
"We could not be more thrilled to announce that we are launching two wonderful children's books, which highlight responsible pet guardianship, and the necessary work of animal shelters," Bide Awhile President Stephanie Willan said.
By providing children with examples of how to be caring and responsible citizens, we believe they will grow up to be knowledgeable and empathetic caretakers of the next generation. This project is one more example of how Bide Awhile is taking the lead in the community by advocating for those who do not have a voice.
So far, we have distributed these books via Halifax Public Libraries, Halifax Regional School Board, and giveaways at Chapters, other retailers, community groups and more.
Any group or organization that would like to receive copies of the books, are asked to contact Bide Awhile Animal Shelter at PR@bideawhile.org, or phone us at 902-469-9578.


The way we cook everyday meat and two veg meals is very different from how our grandparents went about it. They may have used the vegetable water to make their soups and gravies more than we would think about doing nowadays, but they tended to boil the life out of cauliflower florets or a cabbage to gain a good vegetable stock! Today, we are more inclined to carefully steam, par boil or pan/stir fry vegetables and so preserve the nutrients in the very fibres of the vegetable itself.
TSS is one of the first to review this new range of pan wares designed for the modern day cook by the Stellar brand. The 'Stay Cool' range is suitable for all hob types including induction and all from the range have design features that achieves cooler handling than traditional plain metal saucepans, they have silicone edged glass lids (designed to retain nutrients and provide easier draining), and easy to read measuring guides inside the pans. The range consists of everything from a 16cm Milk Pan to a Stockpot (6 L). All are non-stick PFOA and scratch resistant for healthy cooking and are dishwasher safe.
We've seen a couple of samples 'in the flesh' and they are lovely things, aesthetically. Prices are not extortionate for example RRP for the milk pan is 46 quid but its typical selling price is around 28.50 pounds sterling; this includes a lifetime guarantee. Ideal, we feel, for home use and in a commercial kitchen too.

Q: XPATH issue in C# OK, so I've been pulling my hair out all day with this problem in XPATH and C#.
I have the following XML document:
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0"     xmlns:c="http://base.google.com/cns/1.0">
  <item id="362">
    <title>Family Holiday</title>
    <description>a long, wordy description goes here</description>
    <g:id xmlns:g="g">FPS</g:id>
    <g:latitude xmlns:g="g">42.502260</g:latitude>
    <g:longitude xmlns:g="g">1.532850</g:longitude>
  </item>
 </entry>

I then do the following:
XmlDocument _xmlDocument = new XmlDocument();
_xmlDocument.Load(xmlfile);

XmlNamespaceManager _nameSpaceManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(_xmlDocument.NameTable);
_nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("RN", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");
_nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("g", "http://base.google.com/ns/1.0");
_nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("c", "http://base.google.com/cns/1.0");

XPathNavigator navigator = _xmlDocument.CreateNavigator();

My problem lies with this:
XmlNode nde = _xmlDocument.SelectSingleNode("/RN:entry/RN:item/g:id", _nameSpaceManager);

returns null - not the Id node. However,
XmlNode nde = _xmlDocument.SelectSingleNode("/RN:entry/RN:item/RN:title", _nameSpaceManager);

does return the title node.
Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Simon

A: I would expect the "/RN:entry/RN:item/g:id" XPath expressions to return null - in your XPath the g: namespace alias refers to the namespace "http://base.google.com/ns/1.0", however in your XML document the g: namespace alias has been modified to refer to the namespace "g" on the id, latitude and longitude elements.
Remove the xmlns:g="g" namespace alias definitions on each of these elements and it should work as expected - namespace alias defintions are inherited from parent XML elements and so these aliases are not needed (as well as being incorrect)
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0">
  <item id="362">
    <title>Family Holiday</title>
    <description>a long, wordy description goes here</description>
    <g:id>FPS</g:id>
    <g:latitude>42.502260</g:latitude>
    <g:longitude>1.532850</g:longitude>
  </item>
</entry>

If you want to modify your code to work with the unmodified XML then instead change the definition of the g: namespace declaration in code to match the one in the XML
_nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("g", "g");

A: Your local namespace declarations are overriding the root namespace definitions;
<g:id xmlns:g="g">FPS</g:id>

Is effectively saying the g:id attribute here is coming from the namespace 'g' not the same namespace as g is defined as coming from in your document element.
For example, if I change your XML to:
  string xml = @"<entry xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"" xmlns:g=""http://base.google.com/ns/1.0""     xmlns:c=""http://base.google.com/cns/1.0"">
                  <item id=""362"">
                    <title>Family Holiday</title>
                    <description>a long, wordy description goes here</description>
                    <g:id xmlns:g=""http://base.google.com/ns/1.0"">FPS</g:id>
                    <g:latitude xmlns:g=""http://base.google.com/ns/1.0"">42.502260</g:latitude>
                    <g:longitude xmlns:g=""http://base.google.com/ns/1.0"">1.532850</g:longitude>
                  </item>
                 </entry>";

or simply:
string xml = @"<entry xmlns=""http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"" xmlns:g=""http://base.google.com/ns/1.0""     xmlns:c=""http://base.google.com/cns/1.0"">
                      <item id=""362"">
                        <title>Family Holiday</title>
                        <description>a long, wordy description goes here</description>
                        <g:id>FPS</g:id>
                        <g:latitude>42.502260</g:latitude>
                        <g:longitude>1.532850</g:longitude>
                      </item>
                     </entry>";

Your XPath expression works as the local namespace for g now matches the document element namespace declaration of g
If you are stuck with your XML then the only other thing you can do is:
XmlNamespaceManager _nameSpaceManager = new XmlNamespaceManager(_xmlDocument.NameTable);
_nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("RN", "http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom");
_nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("g", "g");
_nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("c", "http://base.google.com/cns/1.0");

Your XPath will now work.
Tested with XmlDocument, .Net Framework version 4.

A: Simply replace your line:
_nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("g", "http://base.google.com/ns/1.0");

with
_nameSpaceManager.AddNamespace("g", "g");

A Lifetime of Film – Ashe's Top Ten from 1992
A Lifetime of Film – Ashe's Top Ten from 1992 January 26, 2015	Ashe Collins
A Lifetime of FilmMovie RelatedWriting
1992A Few Good MenA League of Their OwnA Lifetime of FilmAladdinAshe CollinsBatman ReturnsBram Stoker's DraculaMemoirs of an Invisible ManOf Mice and MenReservoir DogsThe Last of the MohicansUnforgiven
A Lifetime of Film covers one specific year of a Cinefessions' writers existence, from birth to now, and goes over their top ten films from that year. It stems from a meme on Letterboxd, and is simply being expanded upon here. This week, Ashe covers 1992.
Compared to 1991, 1992 was a much better year for me. I was 15 years old and had swapped schools. It was a much healthier culture for me both mentally and taste-wise, as my horizons and experiences exploded in a good way. My film obsession continued to grow, and there were some great releases that year. I cut my initial list of 83 films watched down to 32, and then had to narrow it down to ten from there. It was hard.
Honorable Mentions include Thunderheart, Wayne's World, My Cousin Vinny, Jennifer 8, Army of Darkness, Death Becomes Her, Far and Away, The Bodyguard, Candyman, Ferngully, Cool World, Hellraiser III, Split Second, and Alien 3. Alien 3 was kind of a disappointment even though I like the film. The production cut restores a lot of where they were initially going with it and makes it more solid, but it still looks rushed into production. Army of Darkness, as much as I love that film and Bruce Campbell, just didn't make the cut for a top ten. If I were making a horror or comedy list for the year, hell yes it'd be on it, but let's face it folks, overall it's not that great a film even though it's fun to watch. Thunderheart almost made it into my top ten. Almost. I loved the hell out of that film. So what are my top ten?
10. Of Mice and Men (dir. Gary Sinise)
To be honest, I had no idea who directed this version until I looked it up for this list. Gary Sinise stars and directs in this adaptation of the book, along with an equally impressive performance by John Malkovich. I saw this film about the same time I had to read the book for a class, and I remember tearing up watching it just as I had reading the book. I haven't seen it in years, but I remember being blown away by both leads in the film, and it stuck with me for a long time afterwards.
9. Unforgiven (dir. Clint Eastwood)
I vaguely remember being pissed that the song by Metallica was never used to promote the film or in either credit sequence. Aside from that, I loved this take on the western. The heroes were fallible, and the plot would end up getting recycled in a Firefly episode with a few changes, but I also remember that the cast of Eastwood, Hackman, and Freeman stuck with me. This was one of the first where Eastwood went back to his earlier films and gave it another go, this time in the director's chair as well. It is a really well done film that I need to watch again at some point.
8. Batman Returns (dir. Tim Burton)
While I still have issues with Catwoman's origin in the film, it fits Burton's style, even if it's nothing like the real way Selena Kyle took up the whip and outfit. I can forgive that after having rewatched it, though, with so many other Batman reinterpretations over the years. This was just as good as Burton's first outing with the Bat, and makes me especially sad they got rid of him to go more camp with the next two films. Keaton does a great job with what he's given, but, like Batman's rogue gallery, the actors playing the villains shine here with DeVito and Pfeiffer doing the heavy lifting. While Christopher Walken does ok, he's kind of the ho-hum catalyst villain of the film, and he and his son never really do much for me. Still, add this to your Christmas film roster for sure.
7. A League of Their Own (dir. Penny Marshall)
While Tom Hanks got top billing in this film and he does a great job with it, it's Geena Davis and Lori Petty that really give the film it's solid core and drive. Madonna and Rosie O'Donnell provide some great comic relief, and the film is more of a comedy, but it's also great in telling a bit of history that got swept under the rug. There's a touching story about two sisters growing apart here, and not just a history of the first women's baseball teams. I watched this I don't know how many times with my sister when it hit home video, and it was fun each and every time.
6. Bram Stoker's Dracula (dir. Francis Ford Coppola)
Drawing from the novel, the stage play, and the original film, Coppola directs a great cast with a few mixed results. Still, this is one of the best novel-to-screen translations of the Dracula story we've ever gotten. He uses a lot of older film techniques to tell the story which results in some interesting visuals. There are a few actors who don't quite deliver, but Gary Oldman as Dracula is a powerhouse that dominates every scene he's in, which he rightfully should.
5. Memoirs of an Invisible Man (dir. John Carpenter)
I'm probably one of the few people who remember this film exists, let alone loves it. Where the studio wanted to use Chevy Chase to make a slapstick comedy, he wanted to instead do something more akin to the original novel, which was a sci-fi noir. Well coupled with Carpenter as director, he got what he wanted and then some. The comedy is kept mostly to dialogue and a few sight gags, but the effects work is amazing given the time period, and quite a bit still holds up today. It's an interesting film and made after the heyday of Carpenter in the '80s, so is often overlooked. That said, there's some meat to Memoirs of an Invisible Man, and I love that they went far more serious than was originally intended when they cast Chase.
4. Aladdin (dir. John Musker, Ron Clements)
Yes, another children's film rears its head in my top ten. Disney casting Robin Williams for this as the genie was a brilliant move, and while I enjoyed the rest of the film, it was his over-the-top impressions that really sealed my love for the film. The music is great, the animation well done, and it has got some great characters. It's aimed more at all ages than just kids, and it's a fun film.
3. A Few Good Men (dir. Rob Reiner)
What do you get when you take a controversial subject like the murder of a U.S. soldier right on the firing line with some of the biggest actors in Hollywood, along with a fantastic script and courtroom drama? Probably the biggest reason JAG made it as a TV series, but also a damn fine film. Love or hate Tome Cruise, he's fantastic here. Nicholson is intimidating as hell, and they manage to make the courtroom compelling by using some of the techniques pioneered by Law & Order over the years. Sure, this has some of the regular earmarks of the Cruise Blockbuster Formula, but the kicker is that it's all set to actual drama and character storytelling, instead of high action set pieces, which is really what set this one apart.
2. Reservoir Dogs (dir. Quentin Tarantino)
I didn't actually see this until my first year in college, three years after it was first released, and after I'd seen Pulp Fiction. The heist gone wrong is a long and oft told Hollywood tale, but Tarantino has a knack for despicable characters you can't help but like. He combines snappy dialogue, well-timed flashbacks, and out of sequence storytelling in his first film, all staples that can be found in pretty much every one his films. The cast is great, the banter spot on, and it forever associated "Stuck in the Middle With You" with a torture scene.
1. The Last of the Mohicans (dir. Michael Mann)
Before he fell back in love with crime dramas and handheld films, Mann took a stab at the historical fiction action flick, and it blew me away. When this came out on VHS, we ended up watching it something like twenty three times in the first week we had it. Daniel Day-Lewis is great both to look at, and delivering his lines. While Madeline Stowe isn't given much to do, when she gets to deliver her lines, she's fantastic. The fact they got Russell Means for this, as well as Wes Studi, adds a bit to the film, even if it veers completely away from the source material, for which I'm eternally grateful. I still spew quotes from the theatrical cut of the film, which got an edit when it hit DVD, and another when it hit Blu-ray, which restored some of the sassiness that I loved. The action is great, the film looks gorgeous, and the score is still one of my favorites.

PMG Chapter 455: The Four-Tailed Wolf!
Chapter 455: The Four-Tailed Wolf!
Translated by: Notsaneinthebrain
Edited by: LikyLiky
Liky: This is Monday's chapter. Sorry for delay, I had class so I couldn't do it until today 😐
At that moment, Lin Feng stood with his deadly sword in his hand, its deadly energy had enveloped the wolf king's body. The king was glaring at Lin Feng and releasing a coarse and wild Qi.
The king hadn't thought that Lin Feng would be so powerful, but he didn't look scared at all, his eyes were only filled with endless ferocity, his eyes actually looked like those of a wolf.
"Human yet not a human, beast yet not a beast." Said Lin Feng. His opponent gave him the feeling that he was neither a beast nor a human, he just looked extremely cruel and ferocious. Surprisingly, he was able to absorb power from his dead comrades and turn it into his own power.
"Aaaawwwwoooooooooo……" The wolf king howled loudly while repeatedly shaking his head, his actions seemed just like a wolf. He looked particularly bestial. He didn't even pay attention to what Lin Feng was saying and his eyes continued to grow more ferocious and bestial.
"So that's how it is, the wolf king from the wolves of the desert, must be an actual wolf!" Lin Feng raised his deadly sword and firmly pointed it towards the wolf king. Lin Feng's sword suddenly slashed towards the wolf king at full speed.
The wolf king was fixedly staring at Lin Feng. He crouched to the floor and his hands started to transform into a pair of horrifying red claws which glistened in the sunlight.
"Die!" Shouted Lin Feng. His deadly energy filled the air as his sword descended.
"Gggrrrrrr…." The wolf king let out a violent growl and launched himself from the back of his fire wolf. His speed was incredible, his red claws revealed their sharp edges as they slashed towards Lin Feng. Suddenly, a terrifying fire Qi emerged from the claws which collided with Lin Feng's sword, causing a fiery explosion in the air.
The sword Qi started to disperse, leaving Lin Feng astonished. After having absorbed the power of his tribe members, the king had become unimaginably strong, at that moment, he had strength similar to the fourth Xuan Qi layer.
"Aaaawwwwwwwooooo!" The wolf king howled once again in a high-pitched tone and threw himself towards Lin Feng with all his might, Lin Feng was shocked, the wolf king moved so fast that he seemed to vanish from sight.
Lin Feng took a step forwards and a rumbling sound filled the air. Lin Feng released waves and waves of deadly energy into the air, but it hardly slowed the wolf king's speed.
"Die." Shouted Lin Feng again. He continued to release more deadly energy with increased power. It then collided with the wolf king's fire energy, which created a stalemate between the two energies. The atmosphere was filled with the sound of collisions as the energies continued to fight against each other to decide a victor.
"Die." Lin Feng's was surrounded by his deadly energy which was growing denser as he continued to release it into the atmosphere. The sword in his hand had started to turn a deeper shade of black, it looked ominous.
Lin Feng didn't retreat, he continued to charge forwards. His pure Qi had started to transform into deadly energy which bombarded the atmosphere, causing the wolf king's heart to tremble.
The bloodthirsty eyes of the wolf king gradually revealed a look of surprise. Lin Feng's deadly energy was becoming denser and more powerful over time.
"Aaawwwoooooo!" The wolf king howled again while looking to the sky, a sea of flames burst from his body and he threw himself towards Lin Feng, who was slashing down with his sword. Neither side was backing down, they were both pressing forwards gain. Two behemoths were clashing!
"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The atmosphere was shaking and shockwaves spread through the air each time the deadly energy and flames collided, it started to form a hurricane-like wind across the surroundings. All around them, the scenery was desolate, everything in their surroundings had been completely destroyed. The people in the distance were surprised when they noticed their fight. How powerful! They were obviously surprised by the wolf king's strength, but Lin Feng's strength surprised them even more, he was incredibly young and already had such a terrifying strength!
Nuo Na was especially astonished. She was standing on the eaves of a house while watching the wolf king and Lin Feng's battle. Her mouth had grown completely dry and she was unable to speak any words. It was too shocking. Lin Feng was even stronger than what she had imagined, it was inconceivable!
At that moment, Nuo Na looked perplexed. Even though Lin Feng had saved her from the second young master, her father had died and all the other members of the tribe were being exterminated. Even if her tribe initially wanted to deliver her to the enemy, she was still very close to many members of the tribe, and they were still her family.
This calamity could have been avoided. Lin Feng's strength was sufficient to deal with the king of the wolves. If her father hadn't ordered people to act against Lin Feng, their relationship with Lin Feng wouldn't have deteriorated, after that, the tribe moved to kill Lin Feng because of the second young master… If they had welcomed Lin Feng and not acted against him, everything would have been different.
"Boom!" Another collision caused the surroundings to shake which interrupted Nuo Na's train of thought. She then turned her attention back to the fight.
She only saw Lin Feng's sword slashing down, the wolf king couldn't bear the pressure, he started to move back. Lin Feng's deadly energy was too frightening, on top of that, it continued to grow more powerful as more deadly energy was released by Lin Feng. It was incredibly scary, it never stopped growing in power.
The wolf king's ferocious eyes looked even more bestial than before. He howled in a deep voice and moved back. However, at that moment, he sensed a terrifying deadly energy envelop his body.
He raised his head and saw Lin Feng's silhouette in the sky above him, he was holding his deadly sword which was now a deep black, surrounded by bright flames, they looked like the flames of a scorching sun. Besides, the powerful sun was shining onto the sword which seemed to increase the ferocity of the flames.
When Lin Feng's sword descended, the sky was torn asunder, leaving a fiery black trail in its path, it looked like a black and red rainbow had formed above their battle. The black deadly energy and red flames slashed across the sky. The sword moved at an inconceivable speed, it appeared out of nowhere, just like the wind.
The wolf king was stupefied but immediately released its terrifying bestial Qi which exploded in every direction.
"Aaawwwoooooo!" The wolf king howled in anger. Nuo Nan who was watching the battle was deeply shocked. At that moment, the wolf king's skin started to tear off as he actually started to transform into a wolf, the wolf looked to the sky and gave a long howl. He was an actual wolf!
Flames started to fill the air and surround the wolf.
There was no rumbling or sound of a collision, there was only a subtle sound that pierced into people's ears, it was a terrifying screeching sound.
A large area around the wolf king was burned to ashes. The wolf king and Lin Feng's silhouettes disappeared from sight. There was only raging flames surrounding them.
"Aaaawwwoooo eeeeeee…." The flaming wolf king swiftly moved through the flames. The fire wolf mount which hadn't moved, suddenly turned into a red smoke which rushed towards the wolf king. It swallowed the fire wolf's power and then the flames around its body suddenly grew more intense, it was magnificent.
"A beast." The people watching were astonished and their hearts were unsettled. He was a beast, the king of the Wolves of the Deserts was a…. Ferocious beast?
Lin Feng's silhouette could once again be seen in the air, he was fixedly staring at the wolf, those eyes really looked like those of a wolf. Lin Feng's heart was shaking as well.
How was that possible? Lin Feng had already seen a ferocious beast during its transformation process, only a Tian level beast could transform into a human, but the king of the wolves didn't seem to be at the Tian level.
At that moment, an intense fire started burning around its body and it released a monstrous and terrifying beast Qi. In front of everybody, the tail of the wolf grew longer and started to split apart, three more tails were formed. The wolf had suddenly become much bigger and now had four tails.
"Four tails…" Lin Feng didn't understand, after the fourth tail grew, the wolf seemed to stop its transformation.
At that moment, the wolf king, which was an actual beast was still glaring at Lin Feng, it looked hideous, ferocious and cruel.
"How ferocious." Lin Feng didn't understand. The king of the Wolves of the Desert was an actual wolf?
"Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh……." A sharp scream filled the atmosphere. Nuo Na was the person who screamed out. When she saw the terrifying beast, she was overcome with terror. Her eyes were wide and filled with dread.
Nuo Na wasn't the only one to react. The members of the Wolves of the Desert, they were ordinary people and were so shocked that they stopped moving. They were just blankly staring at the wolf surrounded by flames.
A four-tailed wolf…
Everyone, at that moment, thought about the same terrifying story which involved fire wolves. That story went back to ancient times. All the people watching had conflicting feelings, because they never believed that the story was anything but fiction. They didn't think such a thing was possible.
The Wolves of the Desert… Desert… Wolves!
When people thought about it, they couldn't help but tremble in fear. The name "Wolves of the Desert" had another meaning!

The remnants of the Black wood tribe, the wolves of the desert that scattered to slaughter the remaining tribe members.
"I don't need so many people to follow me, a few is enough. The others can continue massacring the tribe members. None of them are to be left alive." Said the king of the wolves in a deep voice. Many people turned back and continued looking for members of the Black Wood Tribe who may have run or gone into hiding. They were going to keep killing until no one was left. < - Literally the chapter before this.

No. The same shit will happen. Who in the hell would know if MC is strong enough to handle the problem if he don't even talk about his strength with the chief? Just he being there means he can solve it? The way i see it, if im the chief, either the MC is dumb or just thinks he is above everyone else so other people should know he is fucking strong without him telling them so. So arrogant? Talk about yourself MC. The chief was in a state of emergency and needs to think about the whole tribe. This MC character is so messed up that i think he is a fucking hypocrite. And i fucking hate hypocrite.
Random commentor •
And he even let the whole tribe be massacred for a petty thing… Truly hypocrite and immature
Datguy •
Both you seem to have some major brain damage. If you are strong, obviously you should not let them know so you can see if they are good people or not. He doesnt owe them anything.
Marrk •
Yeah, because innocent children for sure were bad people that deserved to die because MC was offended by chief, who just fucking wanted to save his tribe.

oh so that fella is a beast? easy peasy.

you're mine now b*tch!

An early look at Penn State.
By John M. IU Aug 23, 2009, 9:44pm EDT
Share All sharing options for: An early look at Penn State.
Last meeting: 11-15-2008 (Penn State 34, IU 7 in State College)
Last IU win: never
Series: Penn State leads 12-0
Coach: Joe Paterno (44th season, 383-127-3)
IU's long run of futility against the Big Ten's big three continued last year with a lopsided loss at Penn State. Of the 12 games between Indiana and Penn State, four (1993, 2000, 2004, and 2007) have been legitimately close, and I'll never quite get over IU's failure to score on first and goal from the 1 yard line in 2004. Still, IU has never broken through, and Penn State seems to have moved past is early century mediocrity, so it may be a while before IU can find a way to its first win in this series.
Last season, of course, Penn State represented the Big Ten in the Rose Bowl, and probably would have played for the national championship if they could have won at Iowa. IU seemed likely to become Penn State's punching bag in the week after the Iowa loss.
Surprisingly, however, IU stayed with the Lions for a half (box score). Neither team scored in the first quarter, and after the Lions scored a touchdown with 10 minutes left in the second quarter, IU immediately responded with a 57-yard Marcus Thigpen touchdown run. Penn State took the lead on a field goal at the end of the second quarter and scored on three of its first four possessions of the second half, and that was that. IU finished the game with only 180 yards of total offense.
Unsurprisingly, for a team that was on the cusp of playing in the BCS title game, Penn State excelled statistically on both sides of the ball, ranking #14 in total offense and #8 in total defense. The Lions averaged 8.3 yards per pass play and over 5 yards per rushing play. Leading the way by contributing in both categories was quarterback Daryll Clark, who completed 60 percent of his passes, averaged 200 yards per game, and threw 19 TDs to 6 INTs. Rushing, he averaged only 3.6 yards per carry but scored 10 touchdowns. Also returning is Evan Royster, who ran for 1265 yards and an amazing 6.5 yards per carry. The only bad news for Penn State's offense is that the Lions must replace most of the receiving corps. On defense, the Lions must replace nearly all of last season's D-line and secondary, but do return all-conference tackle Jared Odrick and most of the linebackers, including Sean Lee, who is back from injury.
As I said above, Penn State seems to be back. From 2000-2004, Penn State was 26-33, with four losing season in five years. From 2005 to present, Penn State is 40-11. IU may have missed its chance with close calls in 2000 and 2004.


This dish is a Japanese pub favourite: it eleveates the humble aubergine to another level. It is normally done with baby aubergines, but is easily adapted for larger vegetables.
Slice the aubergine crosswise into 1cm slabs. Drizzle with sesame oil. If the flavour of sesame oil is too strong, it can be cut down with a neutral oil.
Place the sliced aubergine on a lined baking sheet, and bake until they just begin to form a golden crust.
Cut the spring onions into 3cm batons, then finely slice lengthwise. Leave to soak in cold water until needed.
Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients to obtain a loose paste. Taste to adjust the seasoning; if the miso paste is too salty, add more mirin or sugar to balance out the salt.
When the aubergine is ready, take out the oven and turn over each slice. Generously dollop each slice with miso, and return to the oven.
Bake until the miso begins to char around the egdes.
Garnish with spring onions slivers, and serve immediately.

JOIN THE WHISKEY REBELLION II!
This just in from our friends at Harris Grill (and yes they are rebuilding and will reopen). I think few people realize that the original whiskey rebellion started right here in Western, PA (check out the entire history here). I don't usually post political things on this website, however the people organizing this event are some big Pittsburgh lovers. I have great respect for many of the businesses hosting this event, they are local businesses that continue to donate their time, energy and money to many organizations in the Pittsburgh area.
Celebrate Unity Night & Roll Back The Tax!

A silent auction of great gift baskets will be a part of the evenings activities. Event proceeds are used to finance activities seeking the repeal of the 10% County Drink Tax.
In 1794, the people of Western Pennsylvania banded together to fight against an unfair and counterproductive tax on whiskey. In 2008, farsighted voting Americans in Allegheny County have united to demand the repeal of the unfair and counterproductive 10% Drink Tax. Friends Against Counterproductive Taxation (FACT) has been on the forefront of the fight against this tax, and has to date spent hundred of hours and thousands of dollars opposing the Drink Tax. While the Drink Tax has been passed into law, FACT continues the fight to repeal the tax in the courts and through the political process. This is the Kick off Party for Whiskey Rebellion II, and like those citizens of long ago, FACT and its members and allies will not quit and will not go away until the political leaders of Allegheny County listen to their voices!
