The storied former Las Vegas Hilton, famous for staging Liberace and more than 800 sold-out Elvis Presley concerts in the 1960s and 1970s, has a new name and owner.
Florida-based time share company Westgate Resorts announced it purchased the LVH hotel from Goldman Sachs and Gramercy Capital and would rename it Westgate Las Vegas Resort Casino. Some of the nearly 3,000 rooms and suites will be converted to time share villas, while others will remain open to regular hotel guests.
"We will be providing the best of both worlds on our resort property," said new owner David Siegel. "We are very excited to be taking this important part of Vegas history and reinventing it for the next generation of Las Vegas visitors."
With 1,500 rooms, the property was the largest hotel in the world when billionaire investor Kirk Kerkorian opened it as The International Hotel in 1969. Barbra Streisand performed an inaugural series of concerts there before Elvis Presley began a 58-show series that broke Las Vegas attendance records.
He later went on to set up his own penthouse in the hotel and generated millions in ticket sales in the years before his 1977 death.
The hotel was the site of the famous 1978 fight in which Leon Spinks defeated Muhammad Ali for the world heavyweight championship. It was also the site of an arson that killed eight people in 1981, just 90 days after a fire at the nearby MGM Grand casino that killed 85 people.
The hotel was renamed the Las Vegas Hilton in 1971 and retained the name for 40 years before its licensing agreement with the Hilton hotel chain expired. It was christened the Las Vegas Hotel Casino, or LVH, in 2012.

ROLAND, Ark. — A brief look at the resumes of Cal golfers Michael Kim and Max Home provides a whole lot of insight into the superb skill level of players who will compete next week in the Western Amateur at The Alotian Club.
Kim tied for 17th at the U.S. Open last month at Merion, finishing in front of a who's who on the PGA Tour. Behind him were three-time major winner Padraig Harrington, British Open runner-up Henrik Stenson, Ian Poulter, who finished fast to tie for third at Muirfield, and recent Memorial winner Matt Kuchar. Farther down the leaderboard were Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, Nos. 1 and 2 in the world at the time.
A few weeks later, Kim made the 36-hole cut in the Greenbrier Classic and finished in the top 40.
Homa's resume includes the NCAA individual championship in early June. Mentioning the best of the best, Jack Nicklaus, Woods, three-time winners Phil Mickelson and Ben Crenshaw captured the same title.
When Kim and Homa joined the field for the Western, they were the No. 4 and No. 7 amateurs in the world. The tournament also attracted members of Alabama's NCAA championship team, who also were the world's top three amateurs when rankings were released — No. 1 Cory Whitsett, No. 2 Justin Thomas and No. 3 Bobby Wyatt. Whitsett won the 2008 Western Junior, Thomas was a finalist for the Ben Hogan Award this year and Wyatt went undefeated in his Palmer Cup matches earlier this year.
Players in the 156-man field will get in a practice round on Monday. The tournament begins Tuesday and the format makes it one of the most grueling tournaments in golf. After 18 holes of stroke play on both Tuesday and Wednesday, the field will be cut to the low 44 and ties. Those competitors will play 18 holes on both Thursday and Friday to determine the 16 qualifiers for the match-play portion of the tournament that includes two rounds Saturday and two more on Sunday.
Players who have made the Sweet Sixteen in the Western Amateur have won 29 of the last 35 PGA Tour Player of the Year awards and more than 70 major championships.
Anyone who wants to attend the tournament can purchase transferable admission badges for $100, good for all week.
In advance and throughout the tournament, badges will be available at the Will Call tent at tournament parking, which is at The Ranch on Highway 10.

UC Santa Barbara Gauchos vs. Cal State Fullerton Titans
At Cal Sates Fullerton's Titan Stadium
Sunday, Oct. 21, 2012 at 1:00 p.m.
UC Santa Barbara Gauchos vs. UC Riverside Highlanders
At UC Riverside's Soccer Stadium
The Gaucho Record
UCSB will enter its Friday game against Cal State Fullerton with an overall record of 4-10-2 and a Big West record of 1-4-1. The Gauchos coming off a weekend when they posted a win over Hawai'i and a loss to Cal State Northridge. The Gauchos have a record of 1-5 in road games. The Oct. 12 win over Hawai'i ended a two-game losing streak and a six-game winless streak.
Big West Tournament Could Be Tough
In terms of the math, UCSB is still in contention for a Big West Tournament berth. The Gauchos are currently 1-4-1 in league play for a total of four points. If they win their final three games, they would finish with 13 points. Currently Santa Barbara sits in seventh-place. Cal Poly (16 points), UC Irvine (13 points), Long Beach State (12 points) and Cal State Fullerton (12 points) are currently in the tournament. Cal State Northridge (10 points) and UC Davis (7 points) are also ahead of UCSB. Obviously a lot of things would have to happen for the Gauchos to advance, but winning all three would be a must.
Underclass Standouts
Freshman midfielder Sara Feder continues to lead the team with four goals and nine total points. Fellow-freshman Angelisa Cortez and sophomore Madison Beckley are tied for second with two goals and one assist for five points. Another sophomore, Miranda Cornejo, has a pair of goals. In all, 12 of UCSB's 15 goals this season have been scored by either freshmen or sophomores.
Ortega Times Her Goal
Prior to UCSB's game against Hawai'i on Friday, Oct. 12, Gaucho midfielder Erin Ortega was one of three seniors honored on Senior Night. The timing of the celebration was fortuitous because a little over an hour later, Ortega scored what turned out to be the only goal in a 1-0 win. For the Simi Valley native, a two-time All-Big West selection, it was her first goal of the season and it was timed perfectly.
Indiana's State Of Mind
Sophomore, Indiana Mead has the highest number of shot attempts for the Gauchos. Playing in and starting all 16 games, Mead has 17 shots on goal and 36 toal shots. While her shots have resulted in just one goal and a pair of assists, Mead has come into her own this season as the team's playmaking center midfielder.
There Is A Bright Side
It doesn't sound like much, but after being shutout in four of their first five matches this season and totaling one goal over that span, the Gauchos have been blanked just twice in their last 11 outings, scoring 14 of their 15 goals over that span.
Blue-Green Rivalry Completes Season
UCSB will complete its regular season on Sunday, Oct. 28 when they travel to Cal Poly for a 2:00 p.m. match. The Gaucho-Mustang match-up is part of the Blue-Green Rivalry between the schools and the winner will earn a point towards the 2012-13 title. The read about the series, see the schedule of all of this year's match-ups and to catch-up on the updated score, log-on to the Rivalry's official website, BlueGreenRivalry.com.

New York Times Bestseller * Publishers Weekly Best Young Adult Book of 2016 * Bustle Best Young Adult Book of 2016 * YALSA 2017 Best Fiction for Young Adults This comical, fantastical, romantical, New York Times bestselling, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey is ?an uproarious historical fantasy that?s not to be missed?

In the meantime I've been put on 16mg of Dexamethasone every day and this killed the pain within 4 hours of my first dose - arh bliss. I wasn't going to handle all this so well being in that amount of pain.
Also I am on Methadone which works much better in pain reduction than Pethidine and unlike the Morphine doesn't make me throw up two or three times per day - a relief to finally get on top of all this - without the horrible side effects.
Treatment is unknown at this stage, still under investigation at the hospital. Will update you as soon as I know.

Hey, Annie.
Checked in to see how things are going. I'm very sorry to hear the MRI news. I'm glad to hear the pain medication is better suited, though.
- 15 June 2009 at 1:11 pm
Sorry to hear. Good luck with all the drugs - especially the Dex. It is good for killing pain, but not so pleasant in other areas as you know.
Praying you will find comfort and that soon they will have a clearer idea treatment-wise.

No, this is not about tattle-tails.
People with RA are often reluctant to tell people. That reluctance is amplified after you've done it a few times and been told, "You're too young," or "You don't look sick."
When you're wondering whether or not to tell people, here are some factors to consider:
Why would the person need to know?
Will their knowledge affect your employability?
How will you present the information?
Who Might Need to Know?
Obviously your spouse needs to know. Pain and fatigue are common with RA, but if the disease is caught early enough, can often be managed with proper diet and lifestyle. However, RA meds take a while to work (six weeks, up to six months). Until your RA is well-controlled, your ability to do things will be affected. That means that family members with whom you live might need to help with some of the tasks you usually do.
Since there is a genetic component to RA, your parents, children, cousins, aunts & uncles should probably have this information for their own health-history. Presentation matters (something that many of us learn too late).
Telling an employer is iffy. Some people lose out on promotions because their employer thinks that health-issues might affect job performance. Sometimes co-workers told something in confidence prove to be less than reliable about maintaining confidentiality. However, if you will need to miss work for doctor's appointment, infusions, physical therapy… your boss needs to be told something. Make sure that you say that you want your private medical information kept confidential. The boss is focused on running a business, so I'd make sure that you do everything you can to make sure that your boss knows your work will still get done. Another thing to consider is that some RA medications are expen$ive, which can raise a company's insurance rates. You don't want co-workers blaming you for their increased costs. There's not a one-size-fits-all answer here. It depends on your job, your boss, your work schedule…
Close friends can be a source of encouragement – something we all need. Acquaintances probably don't need to know, with one exception: some of the people in my church have been a great source of encouragement because they pray for me and let me know it. Still, here, I am selective about who I tell.
In summary, my personal recommendation is:
Family should be told – carefully
Close friends should be told – carefully
Acquaintances should not be told
Co-workers should not be told
Employers should not be told unless necessary
Why Not?
If you tell people that you have rheumatoid arthritis, most don't hear the word rheumatoid. All they hear is arthritis.
Arthritis, they think, is osteoarthritis – something that lots people get when they get old. OA is treated with acetaminophen or ibuprofen, maybe glucosamine.
People will think that you are claiming to have OA, shouldn't feel as awful as you do, and can just take a few over-the-counter pills to feel better. People will tell you that you're too young to have arthritis.
Other people will inundate you with "helpful" suggestions about eating rum-soaked raisins, buying Dr. Frank's miracle spray, and changing your diet so that you can be cured. You'll be told that if you'd just lose weight your knees wouldn't hurt any more (even if you aren't overweight!). You also might hear about the wonderful faith-healing place you should go to every day, and that if you just had enough faith, God would heal you.
You'll hear all sorts of horror stories about the dangers of taking medications. It's amazing how many people believe that medicine is really toxic and should be avoided at all costs.
The fact is that very few people know about RA. They don't realize that there are over 100 different kinds of arthritis.
What To Say
Avoid using the word arthritis. Depending on the circumstances and the person involved, you can say something to the effect of, "I've been diagnosed with a chronic autoimmune disease. It causes quite a bit of pain, and makes me tired all the time. Treatment for this disease is a bit of trial-and-error, but after my doctor finds the right treatment for my particular case, chances are good that I can lead a fairly normal life. I could choose not to be treated, but that would probably result in my being in a wheelchair in five or ten years. I'd really like to avoid medicine, but I would rather be able to walk. So I'll take my medicine, go to physical therapy, do my exercises, and listen to my medical doctor who specializes in learning about this disease and is doing research to try to find a cure."

Finding The Long Tail In Music
from the it's-out-there dept
Last week, we wrote a post about an interview with Tommy Boy Entertainment boss, Tom Silverman, claiming that just 14 unsigned artists "broke the obscurity line," -- which was defined as sales of 10,000 albums. Amusingly, three days after this post, I met Silverman on an airplane over the Atlantic... and only realized it was him when he started talking to the guy seated next to me about my post not realizing who I was (small freaking world). We had a brief, but quite enjoyable conversation, and while I see his point, I'm still not convinced his conclusion is correct on the issue of breaking artists (his view of business models, however, seems right on). Meanwhile, in the comments to our post, Peter Wells from TuneCore disputed Tom's numbers. Since then, both have expanded on the discussion.
Tom provided more details on the number of totally independent success stories (decreasing the sum from 14 to 12 due to the fact that they had mischategorized 2 of the bands) over at the MusicianCoaching.com site. He then went on to claim that the long tail doesn't seem to be working for the music business:
Clearly the ease of making and distributing music does not benefit "breaking" music. Breaking music requires mass exposure which requires luck or money or both. I can say with great authority that less new music is breaking now in America than any other time in history. Technology has not helped more great music rise to the top, it has inhibited it. I know this is a bold statement but it is true.Certainly bold words, though they did not address my original criticism with the point -- which is that number of albums sold is a poor measure of "obscurity" (or non-obscurity, as the case may be). As I said then: "You don't have to sell albums to become well known, and just because you're well known, it doesn't mean you sell albums. It's not the best proxy for figuring this stuff out." This week, at Midem, musician Hal Ritson of The Young Punx put it much more succinctly: "Sales are not how you measure success any more. You figure out how to get as many people as possible to hear your music, and then you figure out if you're profitable." Also, I still think it's wrong to only count totally independent artists in this list, because many artists signed to labels (both indie and majors) may use new technology to help breakout (with or without massive support from their labels).
Either way, even beyond that, it looks like Silverman's numbers may be suspect.
I have to say that

By Babson College Sports Information
BABSON PARK, Mass. – Competing in its first New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Tournament Championship Game under the tutelage of second-year head coach Milton Gooding, the MIT men's soccer team fell to host and top-seed Babson College, 3-1, on Sunday. With the loss, the Engineers, currently ranked fifth in New England, fell to 16-3-2 on the season.
MIT still has a chance of receiving an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament as two of their losses came to No. 2 Babson while No. 3 Clark University and No. 4 Trinity College made early exits in its conference tournaments. The complete bracket will be available on www.ncaa.com Monday morning.
Babson jumped out to a 1-0 lead early in the contest, beginning when Tim Winn headed a corner kick to Shane Fogarty near the goal line. Fogarty then slid a pass to Max Walker, who blasted a shot inside the right post at 9:55. MIT then nearly tied the game in the 26th minute, but Babson goalie Peter Crowley made his best save of the contest when he used a terrific diving effort to knock a hard shot by Andrew Bishara just beyond the right post.
After the Beavers took a 1-0 lead into the half, MIT rallied behind Christian Therkelsen, who netted his conference-leading 15th goal of the season at 48:18. The Engineers' top offensive threat broke free down the right side of the field and lofted a perfect shot over a leaping Crowley to even the contest at 1-1.
Babson took the lead for good at 57:11, when Billy Nickerson took a feed from Winn at the top of the box, cut back to his left, and ripped a shot around the defense and into the upper left 90 for his 11th goal of the season. It marked his second game-winning goal of the weekend and his league-leading seventh of the season. Winn then tacked on a key insurance goal at 65:51, as he followed up a rebound of his own blocked shot and tucked it into the lower left corner for his 14th of the campaign.
Crowley finished with five saves in net for Babson, while MIT keeper Tom Caldwell made four stops. The Engineers' Jason Zhu also added a blocked shot on the goal line late in the game.

When it comes to designing the best components and accessories for a single-minded purpose, former World and European Champion Andy Moore doesn't stop halfway - Moore-speed products are designed for winning! With that express purpose in mind, the all-new Moore-speed 908 bodyshell has been designed for what many consider the ultimate test of RC racing excellence: 1/12th scale circuit racing! This totally new design was developed from the ground up to be the ideal bodyshell for a wide range of racers and tracks.
The air rushing over the bodyshell starts at the ground-level splitter and is forced over the front wheels and around the closed cockpit by ingeniously sculpted flow channels. Ridges over the front wheels disrupt the air just enough to break it loose over the wheel arches until it flows back down slightly over the middle section of the bodyshell. The closed cockpit area, with its elegantly elongated nose area, helps stabilise the air as it rushes over the midsection of the bodyshell, which hugs the battery and electronics area of the car chassis as closely as possible. As the air meets the rear wheels, further ducting and vertical supports direct the air over the rear spoiler, where a huge amount of downforce is created. Designed to master any track, the Moore-Speed 908 bodyshell will get you to pole position - and help you stay there! Moulded from crystal clear polycarbonate, the Moore-Speed 908 features clear overspray film, a pre-cut vinyl window mask sheet, and a decal sheet with headlights and Hot Bodies logos. For a lighter bodyshell with even more performance potential, check out the #66832LW Moore-Speed 908 1/12th scale body (Lightweight)! Submitted for BRCA & EFRA approval.

Diving the Cape Peninsula and False Bay/Coral Gardens (Oudekraal)
This article is a travel topic
The dive site Coral Gardens (Oudekraal) is a rocky reef at south Oudekraal, on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, near Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa.
The high biodiversity, stunning colour and spectacular topography make this one of the regions most rewarding dive sites.
S33°59.270' E018°20.782' (The pinnacles)
S34°59.247' E018°20.921' (Western cove entry point)
Off the M6 just south of the Twelve Apostles Hotel
This is in a Marine Protected Area (2004). A permit is required. The site is within the Karbonkelberg restricted zone.
The name "Coral Gardens" is derived from the large areas of Noble coral Allopora nobilis which can be found here.
Maximum depth is 19m, and you will have to look for this north of the pinnacle. Average for the popular areas of the site is about 10m. The maximum depth in the Coral Gardens bowl is probably about 17m on the sandy bottom patches.
Visibility is variable, but on a good day can be in excess of 10m. Water colour can be important, as when it is clearer it tends to be more blue. On those days the colour of the reef life will be most apparent. If the water is green, the visibility will generally be less and colours faded.
The landscape both above and below water is dominated by large to very large granite corestone boulders and outcrops. There are lots of overhangs, crevices and small caves, with occasional swim-throughs. There is an air bubble cave under the inner group of high rocks on the south west side, at S33°59.242' E018°21.817', about halfway along the south side of the group, at about 8m depth. The site is identified by a four-lobed rocky promontory and several groups of offshore rocks.
The ridge:
The main landmark is the southern point, which has a cylindrical white trigonometrical survey beacon on top, and which continues to seaward in a north westerly direction as an underwater ridge to beyond Groot Pannekoek, the huge flat rock several hundred metres to the west. This ridge includes the inshore group known as the high rocks, which is an important landmark, both for finding the pinnacles, and because it marks an area with deep gullies and an air cave. Water depth to the south west of the ridge drops fairly rapidly to about 17m, where there are a few sandy patches. To the north east of the ridge the depth is about 10m and there is a moderately dense kelp forest with a few sandy patches on otherwise fairly low profile granite reef. The kelp forest on the south western side of the ridge is more or less restricted to reef shallower than about 10m, and the 9m contour is therefore also the approximate extent of the kelp. The area to the west of Groot Pannekoek includes shallow reef and usually white water. The south western side of the ridge is generally very rugged profile and good diving.
The pinnacles:
This is a group of very tall boulders out to the south east of the point, with kelp on top reaching the surface at low tide. The base jumble of low boulders and outcrops round this reef covers a fairly large area, with 4 or 5 high pinnacles close together in a sort of "U" pattern, all of much the same height. The top of these pinnacles is at about 5m depth, the sides are mostly near vertical, with narrow gaps between them. There are several deep overhangs and caves at the base of the pinnacles and there are occasional sand patches on the bottom between the rocks at about 16m depth between the pinnacles and the shore to the south, and between the pinnacles and the ridge to the north east.
Southern shoreline:
Big boulders with narrow gaps and overhangs and heavy kelp can be found in the area just west and south west of the gap between the point and the high rock group. The reef gets deeper over a short distance to about 12m where there is sand in small patches between moderate sized boulders and outcrops. Further west along the shoreline reef, there are some larger sand patches and some huge boulders. This area is not very well explored, and is generally more open than the bowl between the ridge and pinnacles.
Western reefs:
Further offshore, beyond the pinnacles, are more rocks which reach the surface. These help protect the Coral Gardens bowl from some of the power of the waves, and this area is usually white water. Details are not yet recorded, as it is a long swim to get there, and divers tend to stay with the known area as it is good.
Terra incognita:- The offshore reefs
There are reports of a sheer sided pinnacle near the outer blinder, which extends to within about 5m of the surface, and down to about 30m. The position of this reef is not confirmed, but is thought to be at S33°59'7.27", E018°20'30.92" based on aerial photography from 2005 which shows a white water at this position. This is about 650m from the entry area and should not be attempted as a shore dive if there is a south easterly (offshore) wind forecast.
There is also a reef shown on the SA Navy charts at S33°59.044', E018°20.329, with a minimum depth given as 18.3m and very close to the 30m contour, that may be worth investigating.
Geology: Corestones of late Pre-Cambrian granite of the Peninsula pluton and white quartz sand.
Often at its best during or after south easterly winds (offshore). The swell should be low, and short period, though a bit of white water on the outer reefs is normal. The site is exposed to the south west swell, which will both ruin the visibility and make the access difficult, though to some degree this is dissipated by the reefs south of Groot Pannekoek. This is a site where good visibility is usually accompanied by cold water. There is usually some surge, and it can be quite strong in the narrow gaps.
The entry and exit area is very well protected, and access is safe when conditions at the bowl are way beyond what you would want to dive in. Limiting conditions at this site are visibility and surge in the areas you want to visit, and offshore winds which may make return to shore difficult, or boat access unpleasant.
Keep a lookout for times when the south west swell is low with a short period. This will usually be in summer, but in winter there may occasionally be a good day.
Limited off street parking with fairly good security, Clean, neat toilet facilities, Fresh water showers and taps, picnic sites (no fires permitted), shade, seating, garbage cans, a nice little beach and pleasant and protected snorkelling areas for beginners. This is probably the best site in the region for shore facilities, and Parks Board staff keep it tidy and in good condition.
Get in[edit]
Shore dive: Use the Table Mountain National Park Oudekraal parking lot off the coast road if there is space. You pay for the parking (R15) but the facilities are good, including clean toilets, picnic areas, shade trees, and showers. Security is better than most places. Alternative parking is available at the side of the M6, but the walk is longer.
Go down the stairs at the west end of parking lot and straight across the grassy area to the rocks at the westerly cove. There is a bit of a rough clamber over the rocks from the bottom of the path to the entry area which is usually quite a placid spot as it is well sheltered by reefs a few metres out, and heavy kelp, which is easier to negotiate if the tide is high. The long climb down the stairs and the clamber over the rocks require a reasonable level of fitness, but there is fresh water on tap at the top of the stairs and a few litres on your head and suit before the descent will keep you cooler.
The photo shows the entry area at low tide, and the kelp which can be seen to the right of the photo may require some effort to swim through in these conditions. It is easier at high tide when the kelp is about a metre under water.
Boat dive: It is a long boat trip to get to Coral Gardens; about 14km from either Hout Bay Harbour or Oceana Power Boat Club, but for those who have difficulty with the shore access, this can be done as a boat dive. This is not a good anchorage, as the anchor is likely to foul amongst the rocks and damage the corals, so a live-boat dive is essential. A shot-line is not recommended, for similar reasons, and the high rock group and beacon on top of the point provide adequate reference points. At high tide the kelp on the pinnacles may not be recognisable from a boat, so use a GPS or compass bearings as described in "Routes" to find the spot.
See[edit][add listing]
Marine life[edit]
Very rich in noble corals (Allopora nobilis), small sea fans, sponges of a wide variety of shapes and colours, soft corals, bryozoans and colonial ascidians on walls and overhangs. Also of interest are walking anemones (Preactis millardae), Box jellyfish (Carybdea alata), and various nudibranchs. Mandela's nudibranch (Mandelia mirocornata) [1] is relatively common here, and seldom seen anywhere else. The Cowled nudibranch (Melibe rosea)[2] is also seen here more frequently than most dive sites in the area.
There is a significant difference in the encrusting organisms found on the rocks which is dependant on both depth and slope of the surface. Upper surfaces in shallower areas tend to be covered by algae and large ascidians, mussels or limpets, while the near vertical surfaces from about 5m depth tend to host sponges, corals and colonial ascidians, and these are also common under overhangs. The upper surfaces in deeper areas seem to have largely ball sponges and coralline algae, while the flatter reef out towards Groot Pannekoek has large areas dominated by the Cape sea urchin Parechinus angulosus, and some dense cover of sea cucumbers in patches. A kelp forest in the entry cove extends out several metres to the south west of the high rock cluster, and to seawards as far as the Groot Pannekoek rocks, approximately following the 9m contour. To the north east the kelp is more sparse, and there are sandy patches scattered among the boulders at a depth of obout 10m. There is more sea bamboo kelp on top of the higher rocks of the outer groups, down to about 9m, and split fan kelp on deeper rocks, along with a range of other smaller algae. The rocks near the surf zone have a dense layer of corallines and limpets, and lots of small brown algae. At times shoals of Hottentot (Pachmetopon blochii) numbering several hundred fish can be seen amongst the kelp stipes.
The site is excellent for invertebrate photography. Many of the organisms are small, and macro facilities will be useful. On the other hand, wide angle close-ups can be stunning, and when the visibility is good, good scenic views can be taken.
The flat rock (Groot Pannekoek) is shown to the upper right of the photograph, and the high rocks are the group to the upper left. The cave is under the left-most rock of the high rock group. The group of rocks in the middle distance is exposed at low tide, but may be completely submerged when the tide rises. To get to the Coral Gardens, enter here and swim out to the left of the central group as far as the near side of the high rocks. Dive in the area to the left of this.
There is quite heavy kelp, you may have to work your way around some clumps, especially if the tide is low.
Stay safe[edit]
Cold water, Strong surge in gulleys and swim-throughs. Sea urchins. Strong offshore winds may develop over a short time. Access to entry/exit point over large boulders may require some scrambling, particularly for those with short legs.
The site requires fitness and good buoyancy control. There are lots of delicate invertebrates which should not be subjected to a battering by the fins and flapping arms of a diver who can not deal with a bit of surge. There is no particular minimum qualification recommended, but this is a site for the reasonably experienced and skilled diver.
The three small coves are very sheltered and quite shallow, and are suitable for beginners to snorkel, if a bit chilly. They are not recommended as scuba training areas.
This is a site where choice of exposure suit is important. The water is cold, the dive is moderately deep and requires a fairly long swim, but there is an energetic walk required before you get in. Do not skimp on insulation. If you are fit enough the extra weight needed for a dry suit will be compensated by the warmer dive you will enjoy, specially if the conditions are very calm. Make use of the water available at the parking lot to wet your suit before or just after putting it on.
For a boat dive, a dry suit is definitely an advantage.
A light is recommended for looking into the many cracks and overhangs, where the invertebrates are particularly colourful when full spectrum light is used to illuminate them. If you have the choice, a wider beam angle is better. A compass is useful for finding the pinnacles, and swimming back under water, and Nitrox may be advantageous depending on how long and deep you dive. A DSMB may be used if diving from a boat, but is not essential as this is not an area where you can easily get lost, and there is always the option of swimming to shore in an emergency. An SMB is not advised, as it is a hassle in the kelp.

Bond between Gibson, Towers growing stronger
Contract extended, D-backs manager in jovial mood in addressing media
SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. -- D-backs manager Kirk Gibson appeared totally at ease on Thursday as he met with the assembled media for the first time this spring at the ballclub's Salt River Fields at Talking Stick complex.
And why not? With pitchers and catchers reporting early and the opening two games in Australia against the Dodgers on March 22-23, Gibson returns for his fourth full season totally in sync with the club hierarchy, which just extended the contracts of Gibson and general manager Kevin Towers earlier this week.
Gibson joked and joshed individually and collectively with the media, which tells you a lot about his continued growth and comfort in the position. When it came to talking about his job security, the sometimes recalcitrant Gibson was expansive.
"This is a better situation for us," he said. "I'm happy to be here to finish out what I started. That's what I came here for. I have a good, positive vision of where we're going. We just had our organizational meetings. We had two days, two and a half days together. We're all connected.
"Everybody understands what everybody does in this organization. They understand that no one person is any more important than the other. We all have ownership in what we do and that's a really good feeling. Getting back to my contract, why wouldn't you be happy to be a part of something like that?"
After back-to-back 81-81 seasons, managing general partner Ken Kendrick and president Derrick Hall came up big time showing extreme confidence in Towers and Gibson. What is known is that each man had an option year in their contracts for the 2015 season. Saying those were picked up is a safe assumption. What is unknown and unannounced is how long the contracts were extended beyond that.
Really, it hardly matters. The message to the players in the clubhouse assembling during the coming days is that their manager is firmly in place, so get with the program. It also eliminates the stress Don Mattingly went through all last season when the Dodgers declined to pick up his option. With each team slump, the media immediately questioned his viability. Mattingly has a new three-year contract, so that's at an end in Los Angeles. Same with Gibson in Arizona.
"I think that kind of thing would add to anyone's comfort level," Gibson said about the extension. "At the same time, if it didn't happen, I'd feel the same today. I have confidence in myself, I have confidence in the organization, in my teammates. There have been some really good conversations going on. The things that we do and what we've talked about have changed a lot over the years.
"You evaluate and you try to learn from your successes, mistakes and failures, your relationships. I scour constantly to try and be better and wonder how I can be better and make the team be better. We're in go mode right now. We've learned a lot of good life lessons along the way and we'll apply them in a good, positive way."
Gibson was Arizona's bench coach under Bob Melvin and A.J. Hinch and took over the managerial reins on July 1, 2010, the day Hinch and general manager Josh Byrnes were dismissed. Under Gibson, the club was 34-49 for the remainder of that season. Towers, dismissed himself as longtime GM of the Padres in 2009, was hired to replace Byrnes.
Towers had no background with Gibson, but upon the recommendation of Hall and Kendrick decided to keep him as manager. Towers remade the bullpen and the coaching staff and the D-backs had a surprising 94-68, 2011 season, winning the National League West and making the first round of the playoffs where they were eliminated in five tough games by the Brewers.
Since then, the changes have kept coming, but the D-backs haven't been able to make it back to the postseason. In the meantime, Towers has developed the kind of relationship with Gibson he had in San Diego with managers Bruce Bochy and Bud Black. There is a friendship beyond the working relationship and Towers considers it his own shortcoming that he hasn't been able to help Gibson develop further and quicker as a manager.
This offseason there has been plenty of soul searching and the coaching staff has been remade again. Charles Nagy, Don Baylor, Steve Sax and Matt Williams are gone, Williams to the Nationals as manager. Dave Duncan was brought in to oversee the pitching of the entire organization and Mike Harkey was hired from the Yankees to work at the big league level. Dave McKay is the new first-base coach and Turner Ward and Glenn Sherlock have been elevated to hitting coach and third-base coach, respectively.
Meanwhile, the bond between Towers and Gibson has grown even stronger, which bodes well for the immediate success of the entire organization.
"[Our relationship] is outstanding," Gibson said. "He's a very good friend of mine, we spend a lot of time together doing what we do occupationally and what we do as friends. We spend a lot of time together with our wives. I've even been out with him on the golf course together a few times this year. It's not pretty, but it's fun. It's competitive. It's good. We're in a good spot. He hates to lose just like I do.
"He's worked very hard with his staff and I've got to say Derrick and Ken have been unreal this offseason. We've all spent a lot of time together and talked a lot of things through. I certainly feel very connected. It's great, but I do want to beat [Towers] on the golf course the next time we play."

Through out the series, Kyosuke has already show to be closet pervert. From lusting over Ayase, to getting aroused by Kuroneko, to get shell-shocked by Saori's true looks. Not to mention her fetishes with long black hair and eyeglasses.....
And with all due respect, Kuroneko is his first girlfriend. Any physically able man would be wondering what it would be like to touch a boob. (just not as straight-forward as Kyosuke is)
Though, I love Kuroenko more and more. She also hope that Kyosuke and Kirino can solve what problem they had. I'm getting hopeful that the dream Kyosuke had in the short story would be turn true.

yes, massively overthinking it (O.o) and trying to force connections less sturdy than a house of cards.
People have different tastes, over analyze them, and we end up with nutcases suggesting anyone who likes small petite women is a pedophile, or that men who want women with breasts are "looking for mommy" or other such nonsense.
Kyou is a high school boy who is simply excited that he might have someone (Kuroneko) who'd be comfortable cuddling with him. He's awkward and young. Much more than that and the "bringing one's own baggage to the table" issue has to be raised.
Japanese light novels are leave much indirect, implied, or unstated. They tend to read pretty matter of fact. "This happened", "I said blah", "She went to..." . I think the Haruhi books were a bit of a oddity in that much of the text is Kyon inner-discussion with himself. These Ore Imouto books (from what I've seen) are more typical.

Im a fiery supporter of Kyousuke x Kuroneko that's why there is a part that in particular i dont really like and gives me a bad feeling of what might happen in the future, if not already actually happened and is this:
Someone tell me im just over-reading between lines. ;-;

I'm sure Kuroneko meant that she wanted both Kyousuke and Kirino to be able to get along with each other and to be able to have tea as in the drawing with each other without arguing.
Kuroneko doesn't want to get them together in a romantic way that wouldn't make any sense because then it would just negate what she has done up to now with Kyousuke
It makes sense because in volume 7 when Kirino reveals her fake boyfriend Mikagami she gets pissed off at Kirino, because Kirino is trying to anger Kyousuke on purpose. Kuroneko doesn't want them to hate each other but get along with each other. Which is her "Idea World" as in the drawing"
So to me you have nothing to worry about

That's what i hope, the problem is Kuroneko character has always been an overly symbolism person, even Kyousuke says so himself (from the anime Ep14): "The symbolism is so heavy he can't understand the story of the game". So, having Kirino and Kyo in a pic and no image of her around gives a strange feeling.
I hope too that image is just a "siblings getting along while --lover-- elsewhere".
If she is playing cupid, what a cruel way to play with Kyousuke too. Put it in blunt words, her actions might be read as she is a two-faced bitch imo. ;-;

wow wow wow, what's with all these speculations? and regarding the breast thing, as far as I can tell from the illust, for her body size, I think
I would reserve my comments for the Ideal World thing. People see what they want to see, though there's little doubt, if not none at all, for the LN readers on how Kuroneko feels.
and I only just started chapter 3 (close to 100 pages), since I was busy clearing Aiyoku no Eustia, which I must say WTF*10 towards the end. but before that, I need to clear some work first. XD
P.S: Geez, can someone who has the LN take over me in the summaries already. XD

Now, I probably shouldn't be complaining when I translated Vol22 of Index novels from Ch5 as well, but nevertheless it's frustrating to see a new book out but not start at the beginning. Guess this is karma coming back to bite me and shows how much of a hypocrite I am
(At least I gave full summaries of the novel before jumping in to translate, but still...)

Seen from the classic drama arc, and taking into account that I do believe that the author knows what he's doing, I'd say that the chances of a Kuroneko/Kyousuke end have just skyrocketed.
Yes, I'm serious.
Why? Because KN's "Arcadia" has now outlined a target ending for Kirino/Kyousuke. Being able to have a tea together, in harmony and peace. THIS is the goal line for them, not any kind of romantic involvement (which would never work out in the first place with their family). And once this is achieved, KN will be the logical choice for a conclusion.
Kirino comforting Kyousuke from the separation pain is an important step in this direction. I think that KN understands that as long as she is keeping Kyousuke occupied as GF, this necessary healing cannot occur. So she's stepping out, at least for the time being.
(All of this is simply based on gut feeling and novel translation summaries, I might be completely wrong - but this is how everything would fit)

First, I think we should keep speculations in spoilers.
Second, while we're on the topic of breasts, it is my opinion that Ruri would be lower tier A cup, since it doesn't seem she's the type to go for making her bust look bigger than they are (many girls actually wear a cup that is one size bigger than their actual size, with a small underbreast to keep things on).

Jaundice newborn represents a large group of newborns, approximately 60% of full term (physiological or normal jaundice) and 90% of premature babies (jaundice of prematurity). There is also breastfeeding jaundice which occurs when a newborn is not getting enough milk to drink.
There are a number of possible causes for jaundice in babies and newborns. The most common cause is over-feeding with breast milk. Since the baby's liver is too small, it can rarely cope with the enzymes, present in the milk, especially if the baby is overfed. Other causes include diseases, anemia, or a physical defect in the liver.
Newborn jaundice usually lasts 10 -14 days and it retreats in reverse to the development process, legs looking normal first leaving the little face colored the longest. This process can last up to one month in the premature babies. The same may occur in the breast- fed babies, where the substances contained in mother's milk cause slower development of the enzymes responsible for the digestion of the bilirubin. This condition is called breast milk jaundice and it may take up to 12 weeks to improve.
Nursing Diagnosis for Jaundice and Nursing Intervention for Jaundice
1. Deficient Fluid Volume related to inadequate fluid intake, photo-therapy, and diarrhea.
Adequate neonatal body fluids
- Record the number and quality of stools,
- Monitor skin turgor,
- Monitor intake output,
- Give water between breast-feeding or give bottle.
2. Hyperthermia related to the effects of phototherapy
The stability of the baby's body temperature can be maintained
- Give a neutral ambient temperature,
- Keep the temperature between 35.5 ° - 37 ° C,
- Check vital signs every 2 hours.
3. Impaired skin integrity related to hyperbilirubinemia and diarrhea
The integrity of the baby's skin can be maintained
- Assess skin color every 8 hours,
- Monitor direct and indirect bilirubin,
- Change position every two hours,
- Massage the area that stands out,
- Keep skin clean and moisture.
4. Anxiety related to medical therapy given to the baby.
Parents know about treatment, symptoms can be identified to deliver the health care team.
- Review knowledge of the client's family,
- Give the cause of yellow health education, therapy and treatment process.
- Give health education on infant care to home.

Office Depot to pay $4.25 million to settle suit with San Francisco
Note: this post has been updated with more information.
The city of San Francisco said Tuesday that Boca Raton-based retailer Office Depot Inc. has agreed to pay $4.25 million to settle allegations that the retailer overcharged the government for office supplies.
In a statement, the office of the city attorney said an audit a year ago found that Office Depot (NYSE: ODP) failed to provide San Francisco with an estimated $5.75 …

Contracting for Library Service
8.0 Policy Regarding Contracting for Library Service with Other Cities
The Kalona Public Library supports the philosophy that library service is best provided locally, that city residents recognize the importance of library service and are willing to pay for it through local taxes, and that tax support should be equitable among those residents paying taxes to provide a local library. The library recognizes that some cities have not established a public library, that such cities have an obligation to provide library service through contract with an existing library, and that entering into such a contract provides an opportunity to extend the benefits of library service to those who are not otherwise served.
To assure equitable tax support of libraries among residents of Riverside, the residents of other city and county jurisdictions providing library service in the county, and the residents of contracting cities, the Kalona Public Library [will charge] or [affirms the goal of charging] contracting cities the per capita cost of library service to city and rural residents in the county. The per capita cost will be calculated by aggregating all funding received from city and county tax receipts for library operating budgets within Washington County in the previous fiscal year, and dividing by the aggregated city and rural county population served by libraries in the county according to the last decennial United States Census. [$25.93 per cap using 04/05 figures] Contracting cities will be charged the per capita cost multiplied by their population in the last decennial United States Census. [That would be $24,063.04 from Riverside] The Kalona Public Library [will not contract] or [affirms the goal of not contracting] with cities outside the county at less than the per capita cost in their own or the other library's county, whichever is higher.
If the Kalona Public Library chooses to renew an existing contract with a city for providing library service to that city's residents at less than the per capita cost of library service to city and rural residents in the county, the renewal agreement will include a maximum of five successive years until it is equal to the per capita costs in Washington County as calculated above. The Kalona Public Library will not enter into a new contract with a city for which it did not previously provide library service at less than the per capita cost of library service to city and rural residents in the county.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Seniors Molly McShane (Lake Bluff, Ill.) and Matt Hohenberger (St. Louis, Mo.) along with junior Joseph Rafidi (Los Angeles, Calif.) were selected to the Capital One Academic All-District at-large team as announced by the College Sports Information Directors of America last week. The trio will represent MIT on the national ballot and vie for Academic All-America honors to be voted on later this month.
Sports eligible for the at-large program are: women's bowling, women's crew, men's and women's fencing, field hockey, men's and women's golf, men's and women's gymnastics, men's and women's ice hockey, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's rifle, men's and women's skiing, men's and women's swimming and diving, men's and women's tennis, men's volleyball, men's and women's water polo, and wrestling.
A two-time Academic All-America selection, McShane is the only player in the history of the field hockey program to be a four-time All-America honoree. Named the National Field Hockey Coaches Association New England Player of the Year for the second time, she was picked as the NEWMAC Athlete of the Year after leading MIT to its third conference championship in four years. A four-time all-conference first-team award winner, McShane ranked eighth in the nation in assists per game (0.85) while contributing to a defense that had a 1.80 goals against average. Majoring in mechanical engineering, she is a residential tutor for the Women's Technology Program, was inducted into the Tau Beta Pi engineering honor society, and served as the president of Alpha Phi.
An outside hitter on the Engineers' volleyball team, Hohenberger was tabbed to the Academic All-America second team last year and has received American Volleyball Coaches Association All-America plaudits the past two seasons. He ranked third in the nation in kills per set (4.10) and was 17th in aces per set (0.45). Hohenberger closed his career as the record holder in aces (238) and aces per set (0.60) while finishing second in kills (1,495). A mechanical engineering major, he has a provisional patent for the design of a cart that will transport kegs down flights of stairs into basements of bars.
Rafidi compiled a ledger of 57-10 in epee for the MIT men's fencing team. The only Division III epee qualifier at the 2013 NCAA Championship, he finished ninth which resulted in All-America honorable mention honors and the Engineers' best epee performance since 1995. Rafidi captured third place at the New England Championship and also earned Northeast Fencing Conference first-team all-star accolades. Majoring in electrical engineering and computer science, he is conducting research for the User Interface Design Group within the MIT Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Lab and has submitted a publication for the Computer Human Interaction 2013 Student Research Competition.

Effective January 1, 2011, several payroll tax related provisions under the Internal Revenue Code (Code) have changed. Because the first payroll tax reporting deadline for many employers is quickly approaching, employers should be aware of the new requirements and implement the necessary changes to comply with the new laws.
Value of Employer Provided Health Coverage to be Reported on Form W-2
Section 9002 of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act2 (PPACA) added Code Section 6051(a)(14), which requires employers to report the total value of an individual employee's health benefits on the employee's W-2 form.3 The change is informational only and does not affect the income tax exclusion of the value of coverage provided to the employee. However, despite the mandatory reporting requirement of PPACA, in order to provide some transition relief to employers the IRS announced that reporting by employers is optional for Forms W-2 issued in 20114. Employers should consider adopting the optional disclosure and use 2011 as a test run for implementing changes to payroll systems that will be necessary to comply with the disclosure requirements in 2012.
Under the new provision, employers must determine and report the value of "applicable employer-sponsored coverage" provided to employees. "Applicable employer-sponsored coverage"5 means coverage under any group health plan made available to the employee by the employer that is excludable from the employee's gross income under Code Section 1066 (or that would be excludable if it were considered employer-provided coverage under Code Section 106). Therefore, the term includes not only traditional medical care coverage, but also Medicare supplemental coverage, employer-provided Medicare Advantage plans, on-site medical clinic services, and health reimbursement accounts.
Certain types of coverage are specifically excluded from the reporting obligation. salary reduction contributions to health FSAs, life insurance or disability insurance, long-term care coverage, stand-alone dental and vision plans, workers' compensation insurance, and hospital indemnity or other fixed indemnity insurance (if paid for with employee after-tax dollars) are specifically excluded from the new reporting requirements.
The employer must report the aggregate premium for the coverage (i.e. the employer's and employee's share of the premium).7 To calculate the reportable cost, the employer must use rules similar to the rules in Section 4980B(f)(4) that apply for purposes of determining COBRA continuation coverage premiums, including the special rules that apply for self-insured arrangements. In applying those rules, if the coverage plan provides for the same COBRA continuation coverage premium for both individual coverage and family coverage, the employer must calculate separate premiums for individual and family coverage for W-2 reporting purposes.8 Where the employer provides multiple health plan coverage, such as medical, dental and pharmacy coverage, only the aggregate value of all coverage is reported.9
ISO and ESPP Reporting Obligations
Although final regulations regarding new reporting requirements with respect to incentive stock options (ISOs)10 and employee stock purchase plans (ESPPs)11 were implemented in 2009, 2011 is the first year the new requirements will result in additional filing obligations. Under the regulations finalized in 2009, if an employee exercises an ISO or if employer stock under an ESPP is transferred during 2010, the employer must report such transfers to the IRS and the employee.12 Prior to implementation of the regulation, filing with the IRS was not required.
With respect to exercised ISOs, the disclosure must include: (i) the name, address, and employer identification number of the corporation transferring the stock; (ii) if different from the corporation identified in paragraph (i) of this section, the name, address and employer identification number of the corporation whose stock is being transferred; (iii) the name, address, and identifying number of the person to whom the share or shares of stock were transferred pursuant to the exercise of the option; (iv) the date the option was granted to the person; (v) the exercise price per share; (vi) the date the option was exercised by the person; (vii) the fair market value of a share of stock on the date the option was exercised by the person; and (viii) the number of shares of stock transferred to the person pursuant to the exercise of the option.13
With respect to stock transferred under an ESPP, the disclosure must include: (i) the name, address, and identifying number of the transferor; (ii) the name, address and employer identification number of the corporation whose stock is being transferred; (iii) the date the option was granted to the transferor; (iv) the fair market value of the stock on the date the option was granted; (v) the actual exercise price paid per share; (vi) the exercise price per share determined as if the option were exercised on the date the option was granted to the transferor (to be provided only if the exercise price per share is not fixed or determinable on the date the option was granted); (vii) the date the option was exercised by the transferor; (viii) the fair market value of the stock on the date the option was exercised by the transferor; (ix) the date the legal title of the shares was transferred by the transferor; and (x) the number of shares to which legal title was transferred by the transferor.14
The information is filed on Form 3921 for ISOs and Form 3922 for ESPPs. The forms should be delivered to the employee by January 31 and filed with the IRS by either February 28 (paper filing) or March 31 (electronic filing), in each case following the year in which the triggering event occurred.15
Increased Penalties for Late or Missing Forms W-2
In addition to the new payroll related filing requirements, recent legislation increased the penalties applicable to taxpayers who fail to comply with those (and existing) filing requirements. As amended, Code Section 6721, which provides penalties for failure to file informational returns, now provides for penalties of (i) $30 per return, up to a maximum annual penalty of $250,000, for failures corrected within 30 days (first tier), (ii) $60 per return, up to a maximum annual penalty of $500,000, for failures corrected before August 1 of the required filing year (second tier), (iii) $100 per return, up to a maximum annual penalty of $1,500,000 (third tier), for other unintentional failures, and (iv) $250 per return with no maximum for intentional failures. The lower annual maximum penalty amounts applicable to small businesses (less than $5,000,000 in average annual gross receipts for most recent three years) were also increased, with the maximum amounts now $75,000 (first tier), $200,000 (second tier), and $500,000 (third tier).16
Electronic Payment of Payroll Tax Deposits Required
Finally, effective as of January 1, 2011, the IRS discontinued accepting federal tax deposits made with Form 8109. Federal taxes must be paid via Electronic Federal Tax Payment System unless the taxpayer owes $2,500 or less with its quarterly Form 941 or annual Form(s) 943 or 944.17

MABLETON, GA (AP) - Police outside Atlanta say a girl is facing a murder charge after investigators say they found a newborn child buried in woods behind an apartment complex.
Cobb County police Officer Mike Bowman said the baby was discovered Wednesday in a wooded area behind a unit of the Sierra Forest Apartments in Mableton.
Bowman said the girl, whom police determined is the infant's mother, has been charged with felony murder, first-degree child cruelty and concealing a death.
Bowman told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution that the mother is 13 years old. Her name wasn't released.
An autopsy was scheduled to be done by the Cobb County Medical Examiner's Office to determine how the newborn died.

Do you have this lovely yellow Affiliate button hosted on your website or blog? If so, this post is for you.
As we are updating the look and functionality of the new site (check out some of the features coming on the Affiliates wiki), we've found a better to way to make smart banners work. Smart banners detect the version of Firefox that a visitor to a website or blog is on. If they're on an older version, they get an update message. Up to date? They get a Firefox brand message. It's a pretty neat feature and we're hoping to have more banners that work like this in the future.
However, the Affiliates dev team has decided to change how we make the update banner work. Previously, your banner embed code would point to a special image on the Affiliates site that changes depending on the browser version of whoever is viewing it. In the new system, the banner embed code detects to user's browser and changes the image to point to the upgrade banner if necessary.
We're making this change because the old system was difficult to maintain and difficult to extend to other banners. With the new system, it will be easier for us to release new banners that do more than just switch images based on the viewer's browser, meaning a larger selection of banners for you to choose from.
The downside is that, after the change, existing smart banners will not longer switch to the upgrade message. Users will always see the "Different by Design" brand image. There are only a select number of Affiliates using these banners and I will be sending notifications to all of these users directly to warm them of the change when the new site launches later in the spring. At that point, they can replace the embed code on their sites with the new banner.
Have any concerns or questions about this change? Drop us a note at firstname.lastname@example.com or drop by the #affiliates irc channel.

Mod edit: I took the liberty of editing the first post and turn it into an information post (Mihir)
30 yd range. 6 sec cast.
Creates a symbiotic link which grants the Druid one ability belonging to the target's class, varying by the Druid's specialization.
In exchange, grants the target one Druid ability based on their class and combat role.
Lasts 60 min and persists through death. Cannot be cast on other Druids. Effect cancelled if Druid and target become too far apart.
Also according to http://us.battle.net/wow/en/forum/to...4?page=23#450: "Symbiosis cannot be cast in combat." So we're stuck with a certain symbiosis per fight, can't switch halfway.
Update: After some testing, found it also can't be cast on a target that's in combat.
All classes except druid will get the following spell in their spellbook (unknown at what level):
When Symbiosis is cast on you by a Druid, this button will be replaced by the new ability you have temporarily learned.
UPDATE: The generic Symbiosis spell doesn't appear in your spellbook; it's a placeholder ability on your actionbars if you had put a real symbiosis ability there and then lost the symbiosis.

The book has been published first in 1999. So it's not that new.
I didn't know the book before.
So thank you for reviewing it.

I'm pretty sure that will prevent any of the small bonuses from being dropped. I'd like it if someone could check it though, since I'm not an expert and I didn't use a probability calculator.MrBenn wrote:Can we get an update, or a firm decision please. This has been sitting around for too long without any progress now...
I was hoping to get some feedback on this. If this works then make then Ender can make the changes and we can update.
Why is Cryagnotica part of Group #1 and not Itheria? If you swapped these two, then Itherania would be evenly split in 3 player games, and you don't give the recipient of group #1 a leg up in Solonabirsk.
Also, perhaps more importantly, I am still concerned that using only 3 starting position groups is not sufficient. You still have a 25.45% chance of someone dropping a 3-region zone, and a 9.09% chance of someone dropping a 4-region zone. With my 5-group scheme, we greatly reduce those percentages to 6.77% and 1.17% respectively.

Notice That Murdoch Is Only Talking About Charging For Content... Not Giving People A Reason To Buy
from the good-luck-with-that dept
Still, if you want to know why this (like pretty much ever other plan to charge for news) will fail, just look at the language Murdoch (and others who insist on charging) are saying. They talk about the fundamental "value" of content. But they never talk about actually increasing the value or giving the community a reason to pay. Instead, they seem to think that the content, by itself, is somehow reason enough. However, you can bet that the management at competing news publications around the globe are suddenly gleeful over the idea that Murdoch is about to take his publications out of competition for a large amount of advertising dollars. As soon as Murdoch puts up a pay wall, and traffic drops, that'll make it just that much easier for competitors offering free content to build up both audience and advertising revenue. Meanwhile, Murdoch will discover that some people certainly will pay, but that it'll be tough to grow that revenue stream at any significant rate.

Hi All,
I've recently switched from IE to Firefox from most Internet tasks. I have an issue with the Firefox when I try to post here (also see the problem elsewhere). I've searched on the issue. I found a few hits but so far none of the hits have lead to a solution. On certain pages I receive a pop-up saying "The Java runtime environment could not be loaded from <\bin\hotspot\jvm.dll>.
I found 4 copies of this dll and I tried to work with each one. All produced the same result. I am running firefox 0.9.2 Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_04-b04).
The OS is win XP pro sp1. Any hints would be greatly appreciated.

Hutt Valley
The Hutt Valley is part of the Wellington region.
The Hutt Valley contains the Hutt River and the cities of Upper Hutt and Lower Hutt (sometimes erroneously called Hutt City).
The early settlers that came to Wellington in 1840 settled first in Petone and then moved up the Hutt river valley, looking for suitable land for farming. While much of the valley has now been urbanised, there are still pockets of rural land and large open spaces.
Regular flooding in Petone in the early years meant that the original Wellington settlement was relocated to its current Lambton harbour location. As a result, a lot of the Petone street names were also reallocated to the new Wellington streets. This means many Greater Wellington street addresses are not unique. As a consequence, Wellingtonians often use their addresses without a suburb, merely indicating they live in Wellington. However those living in the Hutt Valley often add the suburb or city and may not even indicate it is a Wellington region postal address.
184.108.40.206 04:23, 12 March 2007 (EDT)==Get In== There are only four roads into and out of the Hutt Valley: three are part of the state highway system, and the other, though a scenic drive, is single lane for much of its length.
By bus
There is a regular bus service between Wellington and the Hutt Valley.
By car
By train
Suburban rail services between Wellington and Upper Hutt, run half-hourly for most of the day and night. Off-peak services, between 9.00 am and 3.30 pm, have reduced fares. There are also all-day and week-end passes that will allow unlimited travel on all Wellington suburban rail services.
There are 3 lines to be aware of.
By Ferry
The Dominion Post East by West Ferry runs several times a day between Queen's Wharf and Days Bay, Eastbourne. This is a great day trip. Restaurants, cafes, and destination shopping, lovely beach, boat hire, forest walks!! The ferry will also take you to Somes/Matui Island in the middle of the harbour, another great day out with spectacular views of the city and environs.
Get around
Fish and chips:
The best range of pubs is on Jackson Street in Petone. Choose between several bars, including:
Murphy's Law The ubiqutous Irish Pub
Firemans Arms Good beer, good food
Speights Ale House Restored Victorian Pub with excellent restaurant and Speights on tap
Or get some fresh artesian 'adams ale' from the well on the corner of Jackson Street and Buick Street - the locals say it's the purest water in the world, and best of all it's free.
[In fact, the locals laugh at the tourists and out-of-towners lining up at the tap, which is actually on the side of the Settlers Museum on the Esplanade at the bottom of Buick St. Contrary to the urban myth, the water from the tab is from the same supply as every other tap in town.]
