* Earth and Moon (Tier 10) changed so your Wrath and Starfire spells have a 100% chance to apply the Earth and Moon effect. It now also increases your spell damage by 1/2/3/4/5%. (Previously had a 20/40/60/80/100% chance to apply the Earth and Moon Effect) Buff Duration also decreased to 15 seconds.The Good:
* Eclipse (Tier 9) changed so when you critically hit with Starfire, you have a 33/66/100% chance of increasing damage done by Wrath by 10%. (Previously 20/40/60% chance)
* Improved Moonkin Aura (Tier 7) gives 3% spell haste for all ranks and now you gain 5/10/15% of your spirit as additional spell damage.
* Improved Faerie Fire (Tier 7) increases your critical strike chance against targets afflicted with Faerie Fire by 1/2/3%.
* Nature's Splendor (Tier 3) changed to - When you cast Moonfire, Insect Swarm, Rejuvenation, Regrowth or Lifebloom you have a 33/66/100% chance to increase it's duration by 3 sec.
This is definitely an improvement over the old build. Earth and Moon and Imp Moonkin Aura gained buffs that will increase Moonkin DPS.
The best change is to Imp Moonkin Aura for a couple of reason. This is a talent we were going to pick up in the old build, so this is a free buff. Also, anything that boosts our damage in relation to spirit is great because we are going to be seeing a lot of spirit on our gear. This makes up for the nerf to Lunar Guidance a little bit. A lot of people on the forums had been asking to get Crit rating, but I think most will be happy with this also.
Beyond that we have a definite reason to not only pick up Earth and Moon but put 5 points in it for a little additional scaling.
The Bad:
The biggest issue is still bloat. I have seen no indication that any talent costs have been reduced and these talent changes make just increase the number of desirable talents. In the last build I wouldn't have put only 3 points in E&M, and none in Eclipse or Imp Faerie Fire. So, Moonkin now have 8 more places to put talent points we don't have.
This is an issue Moonkin have been stressing since the first alpha build, and with each build it seems to just get worse. I know Blizzard has said they are going to take a look at it and probably shave off a couple of points here or there, but that was several weeks and several builds ago. Its time for them to do something about it. In my current mock raid build, I have 3 points left with 5 viable talents that have 12 possible talent points, And that excludes Imp FF. I'm not saying I should get all 5 talents, but forcing me to drop 3 or 4 of them isn't reasonable either.
Improved Faerie Fire was the least improved in this build. The increased crit is nice, but it does not address the core issue of the talent. The duration of the talent is to short and and it is much easier for another class to apply. Even with the additional crit, Imp Faerie Fire will still be a DPS loss for Moonkin. According to my quick math a rotation SF rotation that included Imp FF would have 1.1% less DPS then an SF rotation that did not include Imp FF. (This assumes the 3% hit is provided by Misery.)
The problem is the duration. Since it is only 40 seconds we cant get enough SF or Wrath casts off to let the Crit compensate for GCD loss let alone improve our DPS. Blizzard needs to increase Faerie Fires Duration or give us some way to refresh it without switching from our damage rotation. As is, no should moonkin will pick up this talent as long as there is an Shadow Priest in raid.
The Unknown:
I think the Jury is still out on Eclipse. The reduction in cooldown and reduced randomness are definite improvements. However, the buff's duration was cut in half to 15 seconds. Also, the question of how Wrath and Starfire relate is still unanswered. Is there enough of a contrast to warrant switching spells?
My Mock Raid Build:
As I mentioned before I have created a new Mock level 80 raid build. Here is the link.
As you can see I still have 3 points that I am unsure how to spend. Here are the choices:
Dreamstate (3 pts) - A lot has been done to improve our mana situation, but with potion sickness I am unsure if this is an expendable talent. If I have mana issues I may be forced to put the points here.
Owlkin Frenzy (3 pts) - This is obviously a great PvP talent, but has some potential in PvE as well. If WotLK raids are designed like BT and SWP with a lot of raid wide damage, the the push back resistance and extra damage will be very helpful.
Eclipse (3 pts) - As I said before, I am very up in the air on this talent. I don't know if it has been improved or not. I need to sit down and do some math to figure it out.
Force of Nature (1 pts) - I love the trees, but the are hardly an ideal raid talent. In WotLK they will be a little more controllable, but they will still be weak and situationally useful. On top of that I have never gotten really proficient at casting the spell. I always seem to get a little out of range. The plus side is they can do significant damage that is both threat free and mana efficient if used correctly.
Gale Winds (2 pts) - I would love to pick up this talent. I hate getting killed by locks and mages on the damage meters during AoE pulls. In Hyjal, Holly Paladins can do similar damage to what I can do because the run in and Consecrate. The problem is we don't know how important AoE is going to be in WotLK. Right now I file this talent under nice but situational.
This is a nice start, because there are some very nice changes here. I think most moonkin though would agree with me and say that a few more changes are needed. Something needs to be done about bloat, and Imp Faerie Fire needs to be tweaked. Eclipse may need to be tweaked also, but I will wait until I have done the math to say for sure one way or the other.
Let me know what you think. How would you design a raid build with these changes? How does this change your outlook on the tree if at all?
Edit: I saw the change in Eclipse's duration and edited some of my comments.

Slightly off-topic, but dealing with figurines... does anyone have any tips for finding an anime store in the states (either a good online retailer with a lot of random merch and figurines that maybe wont be as much shipping wise; or a brick and mortar) that will order figurines and such? I've tried about every comic shop I know of near me, and though they do carry a small selection of anime stuff, it's generally VERY small (and they even downsized recently >_<) with very few figurines, the bulk of which are like Final Fantasy ones and more action-ish figures (NOT Figma though, I mean like the US action figures) from like Bleach or something. Plus, about the only thing they'll order is books... and even then it is a pain sometimes, as they've lost my order, and lost my name on recurring subscription lists like Megami, several times.

Cynor in the states such a place doesn't really exist.
Most comic stores won't order specialty anime items unless they are cheap and easily attainable. They don't have suppliers in japan that get them what most of us want. They mostly use diamond a US company so unless it's a licensed product for the american market they can't get it.
Their is a place down the street from me that use to stock and would order anything you wanted. He'd usually get items 1 month after it hit the shelves in japan.
But he no longer does online sales, and his prices are at a point to where you can order it straight from japan with shipping and still get a better deal and with a faster turn around time. The main reason I stopped buying from him I would pre-order or ask him to hold for me a certain figure usually a expensive one and he would never get it in. I was willing to prepay all in advance and nothing.
Here is my advice. If you want something you have to have and it might sale out right away. Then pre-order from japan. If you can wait or wanted it after it's been released then Ebay is the place to go. Recently I bought a figure off Ebay it was sold out everywhere and out of print, paid a few bucks over retail not much but had to have it. Which is funny since this is the first time I didn't pay under retail.
Collecting figures is a expensive hobby but I make more than enough to afford anyone that I want. I don't care about the price I just care about procuring one. I hate it when I might have to wait a long time to track one down or never find one when I'd buy it cash if it was sitting at a local retail shop. Don't be cheap but never over pay to the point where it's not worth having.

I don't know about US, but in Canada, we have Sakura Media
They have two stores near my home but the price and the selection isn't really good tho. HLJ is still better for me even after shipping.
BTW, I got another box from HLJ today!!!! Will take some pic later. XD

My Figures
My figure with best quality is probably my Sigma Saber. My favourites would be my favourite anime character with my Fraulein Rin and my favourite game character with my Play Arts Vincent.
My next figure will probably either be a Rider or Sakura from Fate/stay night or a Fraulein Asuka. Slowly I'm trying to build my collection. I just started watching anime last year so unfortunately my collection is small . Oh and Sigma is releasing a Rin, might have to get my hands on one of those .

Thanks for that site, seems like a good one .
Yeah, I meant Figma . I don't mind action or fixed, basically it's what I see that catches my attention. I was in Toronto only once since I became an anime fan and that was at the beginning and the only thing I recognized was FF since I had only seen Naruto and Bleach at the time.
When I seen the Fraulein line I got excited and purchased right away since they look really nice. Same thing went with Figma. The One Piece collection was a gift from my friend.
My first fixed pose might be a Matou Sakura. Just seen one and got my eye on it, however just spent a lot of money finding all the Fate/stay night DVD's so might hold off on purchasing .
I think fixed pose can be a lot better in detail if the creator puts effort into it. Hard to find though. My buddy has a Rei statue which is stunning in her under the moon pose. Probably the best quality I've ever seen.

Thanks for all the advice/suggestions. I actually never even thought about going to a China-town like thing namely due to all the knock-offs and bootlegged things that come from China a lot... also the closest one I know of is a 2hr drive away... and probably the best one I know of is way too far to go to.

www.rightstuf.com sells figures to US and Canada I think. the prices are ok.
I do not recommend going to asia/china towns in the US to purchase figures.
ebay is ok for purchasing figures, just make sure the seller has great feedback, and even with shipping from asia sometimes its cheaper than anywhere else.

while we're on the topic of stores, i found Zero-Type forums useful. its got quite a reliable list of decent sellers on ebay (and the ones you should avoid) and the people on there are really helpful.
dunno if this has already been posted, think it has actually. but anyway, just to save you from looking back god knows how many pages

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. – The Lipscomb track and field squads proved that they are not afraid of a challenge.
The teams went into a demanding competition and came out with their heads held high in confidence.
"We had a solid third day of competition here in Myrtle Beach," said Bill Taylor, director of track and field. "It was a very successful meet and the team had a good time. We performed well, and we got some invaluable team bonding."
The women's distance runners put forth fantastic effort in the final day of competition. Dani Walker, Sally Larson, and Madi Talbert finished strong in their respective events.
"We won three of the five distance races we entered, the 10,000 meters (Sally Larson), 3000 meter-steeplechase (Madi Talbert) and Dani Walker added a win in the mile," Taylor said.
Walker's first-place finish in the mile run was earned with a time of 4:55.53. She also made a great impact in the 800 meters shortly after the mile.
"She came back to finish second in the 800 meters a bit more than an hour later, running 2:10.36, which was faster than the meet record," Taylor said.
Jared Wingerter pulled off an exciting victory in the 3000 meters today as well.
"Not to be outdone, Jared Wingerter ran a brilliant 3000-meter race for the men, winning the race in a new personal best and school record of 8:29.50," Taylor said. "It's really impressive how quickly Jared has developed and how he has improved so much in both race relaxation and tactical intelligence."
Junior Minna Fields added extra power to her attempt in the 3000 meter, which would throw her in the top three.
"Minna Fields challenged for the win in the 3000 meters, finishing third in 10:01.63," Taylor said. "She ran a terrific race and really put herself in great position."
Christian Freeman and Andrew Bosket both saw positive results from their performances today as well.
"Christian Freeman finished fourth in the men's mile, and Andrew Bosket finished fourth in the 800 meters," Taylor said. "Both were strong performances."
As has been tradition in the meet, more personal records were reset Saturday.
"I was really happy with Kayla Droessler running a big personal best in the mile (5:01.68)," Taylor said. "Barbara Lee Ball also added a personal record in the women's 3000 meters (10:05.81)."
The field athletes also made their mark in today's clash with several high-ranking finishes and a broken record.
"Kevin Floyd had a season best vault of 4.75 meters (15' 7") in the pole vault," Taylor said. "Ki'Ana Christy broke the school record in the triple jump with a leap of 11.30 meters (37' 1").
"Aaron Beckwith earned a second-place finish in the B section of the pole vault with a leap of 14' 7.25". And Jalen Thompson finished fourth in the B section of the long jump with 21' 2.5"."
With this meet officially in the books, the teams are ready to really start preparing for the competitions yet to come throughout the rest of the outdoor season.
"In many ways, this meet feels like the end of the pre-season for outdoor," Taylor said. "Even though it all counts, we know that when we get home, we have to focus and dig in for the stretch to A-Sun.
"We have one likely NCAA I National Championships preliminary qualifier from this weekend (Madi Talbert in the 3000 meter-steeplechase). Our goal is to have fifteen, so we have a lot of work to do in a lot of events still.
"We broke some school records this weekend, but we are greedy and used to breaking most of the school records each season," Taylor said. "The bar is high, but we want to push it so much higher."
While Lipscomb did not shut out the competition, the Bisons still stuck together and finished out the three-day competition with poise.
"So we come away from this meet happy, but not satisfied," Taylor said. "I am excited to see what the next few meets have in store for us."
The next stop on the agenda for track and field will be close to home as they compete in the Vanderbilt Black and Gold meet March 28 and 29.

Telemarketer Service Stream Solutions has been fined $110,000 for making calls to numbers on the Do Not Call Register – despite being the operator of the register.
The company has also entered into an enforceable undertaking.
The Australian Communications and Media Authority (ACMA) found the company in breach of the Register after an investigation found numbers were incorrectly included on its list during a 10-week campaign due to phone numbers not being re-checked against the register.
The company provides telemarketing services for government and other organisations, including for operating the Do Not Call Register on behalf of ACMA.
Service Stream Solutions has agreed to engage an independent consultant to review its calling list processes; train its staff about their obligations under the Do Not Call Register; and audit its future campaigns to ensure it complies.

Eye-Fi cards have a tiny wireless adapter built into them which allows you to download pictures to your home Wi-Fi network. That's right. You never have to take the card out of the camera. No more using separate card readers, losing your card or searching for the proprietary USB cord that came with the camera.
Setup was easy: I just plugged in the USB adapter that was included and followed the prompts. It quickly discovered my home network and even jumped through my security hoops flawlessly. You do need to have your camera nearby to send a test photo to complete the setup, and from then on, it works without wires. Now I can transfer my latest pictures and video to my network without the fear of one of the kids running off with the card while it's on the desk or having it get lost under a pile of papers, and my photos are automatically organized into photos according to the date they're taken.
One lucky Deal Seeking Mom winner will receive a 4GB X2S Eye-Fi Card!

Tropical Storm Karen: Gov. Jindal Declares State Of Emergency
NEW ORLEANS (AP) — Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal declared a state of emergency Thursday after Tropical Storm Karen formed in the Gulf of Mexico and threatened to come ashore over the weekend along the Gulf coast.
The declaration authorizes the state Office and Homeland Security and other state agencies to activate emergency plans for the tropical storm's possible impact on Louisiana parishes.
Forecasters said the storm is expected to approach the mouth of the Mississippi River and then shuttle off to the east toward the Florida Panhandle. But they warned the forecast track could change and advised residents and business in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida to prepare for possible tropical storm conditions.
Meanwhile, officials in coastal parishes advised residents to make preparations and took early steps to prepare for the storm.

Major retailers and suppliers are to meet the Food Standards Agency (FSA) to work out how to prevent food becoming contaminated and entering the supply chain.
The FSA ordered the meeting last week following a spate of mis-labelled or contaminated food products reaching the public.
On Sunday a company which supplied halal food found to contain traces of pork DNA was named.
Food distributor 3663 identified McColgan Quality Foods Limited, a Northern Ireland-based company, as the source of "the very small number of halal savoury beef pastry products" found to contain pork DNA which it supplied to prisons.
In a statement, 3663 confirmed that all halal products from this manufacturer have been withdrawn from supply.
3663 has not been suspended, but a "sub-contractor" has been suspended, the Ministry of Justice (MoJ) said. Islamic law forbids the consumption of pork.
Last month horse meat was found in burgers sold by a number of major supermarkets.
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs committee chairman Anne McIntosh has raised concerns that the recent cases could be just the tip of the iceberg, the BBC said, and has questioned whether the FSA is fit for purpose.
The FSA is investigating how far contaminated products have been distributed.
Steve Wearne, a director at the FSA, said it called the meeting "of a range of suppliers" today to "stress again the responsibility of all food businesses to ensure the food that they sell contains what it says on the label", the BBC said.
An FSA spokeswoman said: "People have a right to expect that the food they are eating is correctly described.
"It is the responsibility of food businesses to ensure the food they sell contains what it says on the label. We are considering, with relevant local authorities, whether legal action is appropriate following the investigation."
Ms McIntosh said many questions remained unanswered, telling BBC Breakfast: "We have to ask why, so far, the FSA have not found themselves one case of cross-contamination."
She said she was "shocked" to learn that burgers could have been contaminated with horse meat for a year and warned that more cases could yet come to light.
"Perhaps we should source our food more locally," she added.
Mr Wearne said a "very thorough" investigation was under way and that the FSA was meeting retailers and suppliers "to make sure that they fully understand their responsibilities".
He told BBC Breakfast: "Consumer confidence is key and we need the food industry to tell us what they are going to do to build the confidence back."

The New Cider Maker's Handbook by Claude Jolicoeur
I've caught the cider bug, and I've caught it bad. You too? Then seek out this book without delay. The New Cider Maker's Handbook is like having all your birthdays come at once for hard cider geeks like us. From the choosing the right apples and building your own cider press to measuring cider's alcohol content and adjusting the final sweetness, it's all right here.
Quick Facts
• Who wrote it: Claude Jolicoeur
• Who published it: Chelsea Green Publishing
• Highlights: On the surface, making a batch of hard cider is one of the easiest homebrewing projects around: pick up a gallon-jug of cider, add yeast and seal it with an airlock, let it ferment. When I was working on True Brews, I heard many tales of people who actually brewed clandestine batches of cider in their dorm rooms during college! But there's a big difference between this kind of insta-cider and the refined stuff that has made hard cider one of the most beloved beverages throughout history — and contributed to its recent resurgence!
The New Cider Maker's Handbook goes back to the nuts and bolts of cider making. It starts with selecting apple varietals (even delving into developing your own orchard!), moves into apple pressing, and then covers every possible aspect of the fermentation process from start to finish. It's hyper-detailed and takes a textbook-like approach that assumes no prior cider-making knowledge. Charts and graphs and handy diagrams are planted within the chapters for easy reference.
The level of detail might be overwhelming (ok, it will definitely be overwhelming) to folks who just want to try making a batch of cider for fun. But if you are a serious cider maker, professional or otherwise, who wants to step up your cider-making game, I guarantee that this book will become one of your most-used resources. It's been a while since we've gotten an update to the old cider making manuals, and this one definitely satisfies the need.
• Who would enjoy this book? Home cider makers, professional cider makers (or people thinking of becoming pro cider makers!), anyone curious about the nuts and bolts of cider making.

On Friday, representatives from Luna Rossa, Artemis Racing and Energy Team were presented with prizes from the last four America's Cup World Series (ACWS) events.
Earlier this summer, ORACLE TEAM USA withdrew its entries from the final four events of the ACWS, which resulted in new winners.
Luna Rossa Piranha becomes the winner of the Newport Fleet Racing Championship and Match Racing Championship, as well as topping the table in the August San Francisco Fleet Racing event.
"This is another example of the results we were able to achieve in a very short time with Luna Rossa," said Italian skipper Max Sirena. "We are happy with what we achieved on the AC45 circuit and by reaching the Louis Vuitton Cup Final."
Artemis Racing wins the two San Francisco Match Racing events, as well as the September Fleet Racing Championship.
And Energy Team claims the Naples Match Racing title.
The revised 2012-13 standings see Luna Rossa Piranha at the top of the combined championship, followed by Artemis Racing and Emirates Team New Zealand.
A PDF showing original and revised scoring for the final four America's Cup World Series events is available here.

Main_Page_Center - is a database driven template. Since content of this template is stored in database and pulled during ASP code execution, the template itself cannot store any ASP code. Meaning you may not customize it to include ASP server side code. HTML and javascript code can sure be used to amend template content.
Alternative_Main_Page - is a "Custom Inclusive Page" template. Since the content of this template is stored in an ASP file, this template may have ASP code included if necessary.
To replace Main_Page_Center with Alternative_Main_Page do the following:
If you need to retain the content of the Main_Page_Center template but make this template an ASP page, which supports an ASP code, then do the following:
For more information about inserting "Custom Inclusive Page" templates, see this article: http://www.4u2ges.com/article.asp?id=20
Below main page content, there are few blocks of ads content such as Top Hot list, New Ads, and Editor's pick (do not confuse this reference with content within portal boxes).
Each one of three "top" content lists could be switched on and off. Open Main Page Configuration admin page. At the Top Content Configuration section, make necessary changes to configurations and click Save Top Content Configuration.

6 best apps for study abroad students: http://college.usatoday.com/2013/11/12/6-best-apps-for-study-abroad-students/
By Rick Steves (USA Today: January 19, 2012)
Even in challenging economic times, making sure that study abroad is part of our college students' education is a vital investment. If we want a new generation of leaders and innovators who can be effective in an ever more globalized world, sending our students overseas is not a luxury. It's a necessity.
I believe that our national security rests upon the foundation of a well-educated electorate with a broad and sophisticated worldview. Ninety-six percent of humanity lives outside our borders — and we risk being left in the dust if we don't know how to effectively engage the world. It's critical to deal smartly with the emerging economic and military powers of China and India, and we must better understand the intricacies of Islam. While Germany is increasingly going wind-powered, the Dutch are building up their dikes and Africa is fighting a growing desert, we need policies more insightful than "drill, baby, drill."
Fear vs. understanding
There's a lot of fear in our society today. Students who travel learn that fear is for people who don't get out much. And they learn that the flip side of fear is understanding. Travelers learn to celebrate, rather than fear, the diversity on our planet. Learning in a different culture and place allows us to see our own challenges in sharp contrast, and with more clarity, as we observe smart people in other lands dealing with similar issues.
American college students understand the value of study abroad. Four out of every five first-year students aspire to study overseas. But at any given time, only about 2% of students are able to. Educators are particularly concerned that the lack of opportunity for students from poor socioeconomic backgrounds will cause a "global divide" between students who've benefited from a global education … and those who haven't. And students for whom foreign travel is not easily affordable are the ones who benefit most from the experience. As a society, we can help enrich the education of our younger generation, and brighten their futures, by making this experience more accessible. The Paul Simon Study Abroad Act, currently being considered in Congress, would dedicate $80 million annually to incentivize study abroad, with the goal of encouraging a million American students from a wide range of backgrounds to study abroad each year.
No better time to invest
Is now the time to be devoting precious public funds to sending college kids overseas? Absolutely. Our world is one big, rapidly evolving marketplace. Employers crave graduates who are flexible, multilingual and comfortable in multicultural settings. Study abroad sharpens these skills and helps keep American workers competitive.
In spite of its financial turmoil, the European Union recently expanded its Erasmus Program, which helps students study abroad. That's because the people of the EU understand that globalization is like the weather: Regardless of what you think about it, you have to live with it. And when it comes to stoking trade, building international partnerships and simply co-existing peacefully, Europe understands that study abroad is a smart investment.
Americans who want our next generation to be hands-on with the world — grappling constructively with international partners against daunting challenges that ignore political borders, working competitively in a globalized economy, and having enthusiasm rather than anxiety about other cultures and approaches to persistent problems — can get on board with the movement to help our students get a globalized education.
Encourage the young people in your lives to get a passport and see the world as a classroom. It's good for America. And it's fun.

1. (Studying abroad) opens your mind and takes you out of the box of America that we live in.
2. Study abroad gives a person a chance to experience something different than what a person is used to.
3. I have changed and grown and learned more than I ever could have at home.
4. It is an amazing life-changing experience. I'm so happy that I was able to have it. I love how fluent I've become in Italian and how much I've learned about the culture.
5. It is a great experience to interact with another culture. Gives one a different perspective of the U.S. and how we are perceived in the world. It might also teach people to be happy with the small things in life.
6. You learn a lot about yourself and your country, make great new relationships with other students, the staff, and people within the culture. Living in another culture gives you different perspectives on the world and life.

It doesn't matter if you buy them in bulk or on sale, razor blades still set you back a pretty penny. The fine folks at HYD For Men have found a solution: science. This Razor Shield combines natural oils with some impressive scientific abracadabra to keep your blades from corroding. Longer-lasting razors mean more smooth shaves, less environmental waste, and more money in your pocket.
Since switching to a single blade razor and kit, I don't really see the point in using this stuff. However, there are others who still use disposables. At the time I received my sample I was still using disposables and I would always apply after a shave. To tell you the truth, I'm not really sure it worked, but it seems like a nice addition.2
olive oil for your razor. this is a silly product. if you want lube, by shave oil. if you want to keep the razor in good shape, dry it. if you use a cartridge razor then using this product will maker it carder for the cartridge to stay on the handle. also, i gunks up the cartridge.1
this product isnt going to make every razor last a super long time. it just adds a little to its life. not sure what everyone else was expecting but that is what i thought this would do. Anyway, i like to use it as a oil for my electric razors. keeps them running smooth4
I love this stuff! I got my sample just as it seemed as if my razor was at the end of its run. I decided to stick it out and try the Razor Shield. I'm still using the same razor 1 month later (I shave every other day). Same smooth comfortable shave as I would get from a razor I've used a couple of times (might even be better if I use the product after the first shave). Highly recommended if you are looking to prolong the life of your razor.5

PORTLAND — The managing owner of the Portland Pirates hockey team said Friday that his guilty plea in connection with a car crash in December was "a turning point and an awakening" in his life and hoped others would learn from his mistake.
Brian Petrovek, 58, of Yarmouth, pleaded guilty Friday to a charge of operating under the influence v to avoid serving jail time. He was sentenced to serve 72 hours in an out-of-jail program.
Petrovek had a blood alcohol content level more than three times the legal limit at around 1 a.m. on Dec. 5 when he crashed his black Jeep Wrangler into the concrete barrier dividing Spring Street in downtown Portland.
A passerby called police to report the vehicle was stuck at the intersection of Spring and Center streets, near the Cumberland County Civic Center where the Pirates play, according to the accident report.
Nobody was injured and no other vehicles were involved.
When the police arrived at 1:18 a.m., Petrovek was in the Jeep, revving the engine and trying to free the vehicle from the barrier, police said.
Petrovek changed his plea in Cumberland County Unified Criminal Court as part of a plea agreement reached by his attorney, Michael Whipple, and the Cumberland County District Attorney's Office.
In addition to the 72-hour program — a weekend of first-offender education and community service — Justice Thomas Warren ordered Petrovek to pay a fine of $750 and noted that he had already lost his license for 90 days.
Petrovek will begin serving his 72-hour sentence on May 24.
"I take full responsibility for my actions," Petrovek said in a brief sit-down interview after he left the courtroom.
Petrovek said he feels he needs to be held accountable for what he did, just as any other member of the Pirates organization would be.
"I think the lesson now has been learned and is now more deeply a part of my day-to-day life," he said. "We, the Pirates organization, hope others learn from my mistake."
Petrovek said he is happy to put the case behind him but that his thoughts go back to the day of the crash and his arrest.
"It was a turning point and an awakening," Petrovek said. "One has to take responsibility for his actions, and that has certainly been the case with this."
In 2006, Kevin Dineen, the Pirates' former head coach, served a 48-hour sentence and paid a $750 fine after he was convicted of driving to endanger. He had been charged with drunken driving in South Portland following a night out with coaches and players at the end of the season.
Police did not say at the time of Petrovek's crash how the Jeep was immobilized by the median, which is about 2 feet tall.
An officer gave Petrovek a field sobriety test and charged him with operating under the influence.
Police said a blood alcohol test later indicated a level of 0.25 percent, more than three times the level of 0.08 percent, at which a driver is considered legally intoxicated.
State records show that Petrovek has no previous driving infractions in Maine and has a number of safe-driving credits.
The accident report says he was "not able to describe his actions prior to the crash." Police were unable to say at the time of the crash where Petrovek had been drinking.
The Pirates are owned by a group, led by Boston lawyer Lyman Bullard, that includes Petrovek. As managing owner/CEO of the Portland Pirates, Petrovek manages the business side of the American Hockey League team.
The Pirates are in their second year as the American Hockey League affiliate of the Phoenix Coyotes, the NHL team that provides coaches, players and support staff. An AHL spokesperson did not immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
The Dec. 5 accident report includes other details:
• The concrete barrier sustained little or no damage, the road was wet but conditions were clear and the speed limit in the area is 25 mph.
• A diagram shows that the front passenger's side of the 2003 Jeep hit the median, and that the vehicle was headed west toward High Street.
• The report also lists Petrovek's vanity license plate: "Arrrrgh."

Brotherhood is leaving some manga material out (for pacing/budget reasons, really), but the first anime literally did its own thing for the most part.
Let's put it this way: Nothing past ~chapter 30 (and not nearly everything from before chapter 30, and certainly not enough to be considered an adaptation trying to be faithful to the manga) of the manga was used in the first anime. A good deal of anime-original filler was created for FMA1 that has nothing to do with the manga canon, characters die in the show who aren't even dead yet in the manga (and vice versa), several of the homunculus (and other characters) were completely different, the main story is completely different, and many of the main characters in the first anime don't even exist at all in the manga (IE: Archer and Dante), and the majority of the characters that show up in the manga either have their roles greatly reduced or are omitted completely from the first anime.
Chapter 99 is the most recent chapter that has been released. The manga should finish within a year or so, at somewhere between 103-106 chapters (we're chest deep in the final arc).

Even in the early episodes (that are more similar to the manga) you can see plot lines/characters not in the manga that would play a part in later parts of the first series. For example the appearance of Lyra in the coal mine episode.

Well to be honest Roy was one of the few characters I liked in the first series (and I don't agree that he was only used for comic relief.) In fact my two favorite moments were between him and Ed.
Spoiler for 1st series:
But that being said I was disappointed with what they did with the character in the movie. It's like he did a complete 180 in terms of character development that it made little sense. And I agree that they didn't seem to know what to do with Riza and the rest of the Roy crew.

Let's not forget that it was Roy who defeated Wrath in the first series (and Wrath was named Pride back then if I recall)(I'm talking about Bradley), so he was much more than a supporting character from that respect. And the fact that he declared all female personell ought to wear tiny miniskirts made him the best character in the first series.

Indeed. Right now, they're still around the same point as chapter 50 in the manga, so there's still ways to go as the manga's in chapter 99 and going on 100 now. If they have it planned for episode 63 being the end of it, that's another 38 episodes, meaning 38 weeks, meaning nine months and a half, meaning 9 more chapters in the manga. I think the manga will be over by then.

There is one problem that is causing people computer/notebook problems which most people don't seem to get/believe/understand and that is:
Simply, repeated shocks (sometimes unnoticed to the user) can either literally destroy delicate internal chips or cause them to act very strange at odd times for long periods of time. People curse the computer brand and swear to never purchase again and if the real story could be told, the source of the problems would be static shocks that the CUSTOMER gave the machine.
The more favorable times for static buildup are during periods of low humidity (Fall and Winter) and/or when the user/item is charged up with static from:
1) Particular shoe soles walking against nylon carpet, generating static.
2) Sitting down in fabric or leather chair wearing a dissimilar material shirt/sweater/etc (I've forgotten the material names that certainly clash, sorry.)
I have an wheeled old Army office chair which has a seating surface of some sort of hard grey leather/nylon built on a heavy metal frame. It sits on a painted concrete basement floor with no carpeting and most times I sit right down and touch something (usually computers) it gives the occasional shocks. I would have never expected it from this combination. This chair simply doesn't like some of the sweaters or shirts I like to wear (due to static buildup).
Consider your keyboard or your mouse, made of plastic right? And as far as you know, plastic doesn't conduct electricity, right? Read on.
Plastic is considered an insulator. It's not an absolute insulator, can vary in it's insulation properties based on additives and can break down under certain electrical conditions plus not all plastic is molecularly exactly the same. But generically, plastic is regarded as an insulator to conducting current, so is rubber.
But static electricity is unlike regular AC or DC electricity. It flows on the OUTSIDE of an insulator, be it plastic or rubber, whereas AC/DC electricity flows within a metal conductor.
Here's an experiment:
After taking a bath, open the bathroom door, dissipating the high humidty bathroom conditions, then blow dry your hair and comb it using a plastic comb. If the conditions are right, your hair will rise to touch your comb before you even get your comb to your head. That's static electricity working right there on your insulated plastic comb.
Here's another experiment:
Take a balloon, rub it a few times against your hair, then move it to your arm to see your arm hair rise to greet the balloon. The balloon (latex rubber) has an excess of electrons where your arm hair has a more positive electrical charge.
If the differences in surface static potential is great enough, the side with excess electrons will discharge a spark. That spark will travel on the outside surface of the plastic or rubber to the path of least resistance which may be the nearest metal frame/stud/screw/etc.
But where does that frame or screw go to?? The video card? The harddrive? The motherboard ground? No telling.
Here's a really short but sweet link that will get you up to speed quickly.
How many computer problems are caused by built up static discharges? My troubleshooting experience has found quite a few cases through the years.
Sometimes the static has simply locked up the system and refuses to dissipate. In those cases, the solution is to remove ALL cabling (ALL means everything), wait 10-15 minutes and reboot. If the problem persists, perhaps your wall plate ground wire is not actually grounded, or if it is grounded, you might want to throw a bucket of water on the grounding post outside (this is called a "dry ground") or you might have another piece of electronics that is throwing voltage onto the ground wire (which it should not do continually).
A quick fix for yourself and your carpeting is to buy a can of "Static Guard", found near laundry products in stores, it comes in a blue spray can with orange lid and orange lettering.
(OH....you don't have to feel the shock for it to cause damage)

Because Ext.Direct writes in the background after a timeout, I am perplexed about how to do the following:
1) A user clicks a button to save a form.
2) The button click triggers store.loadData({jsonRoot: form.getValues()})
3) DirectStore automatically writes the record and receives a success code
4) The success of the write triggers a callback to close the form,
My question is: where do I pass this callback to close the window? I am trying to fully integrate my old Ext JS 2.0 app with 3.0, for learning purposes. I know I could use the automatically generated Model.save() function to save the data but I want the store to be updated at the same time.
How do I callback from the save?

You Say Tomato, I Say Tomato
May 27, 2011
A recent press release in The New York Times, covering the 2011 AP Style Guide release, included this tasty tidbit about culinary lingo:
The 16-page food section offers an official AP Recipe Style, as well as answers to style questions of the kitchen and table. Examples of new entries include:
• locavore The preferred term for a person who strives to eat locally produced foods.
• adobo sauce A spicy red sauce made from chilies, herbs and vinegar that is common to Mexican cooking.
• amuse-bouche French, a bite-sized dish served at restaurants before the meal, usually free.
• blind bake To bake the crust of a pie before filling it.
• farmstead Generally used to describe a cheese produced solely from the milk of one farm.
• ghee A clarified butter used in Indian cooking.
• huitlacoche Also called corn smut. A fungus that grows on corn. Considered a delicacy of Mexican cuisine, it has a smoky-sweet flavor.
• orecchiette A small, disk-like pasta.
• pears In general, capitalize most varieties, including Anjou, Asian (also called apple pear), Bosc and Bartlett.
• sashimi A Japanese dish of thinly sliced raw seafood.
"With all the cooking shows, blogs and magazines focusing on food, as well as growing interest in organic and locally sourced foods, our new food section feels timely and on trend," said Colleen Newvine, product manager of the AP Stylebook. "With this new addition to the AP Stylebook, The Associated Press is proud to bring clarity to the writing that describes and informs the new food movement."
"Whether it's for blogs, books or mainstream media, good food writing demands a solid grasp of confusing and sometimes contradictory language. It made sense to use the AP's expertise in setting the standards," added J.M. Hirsch, AP food editor. "This new food section in the AP Stylebook reflects what we see anecdotally as a growing national interest in food writing and the need to answer language-based questions associated with that writing."
I am so getting a copy of this. I'm one of those annoying people that corrects other people's grammar and spelling, so I'm uber-excited about this new tome. Looking forward to expanding my kitchen jargon (and correcting everyone elses's ;o)

I have big gap between the front teeth, I don't want to go for tooth braces, it will ruin my face beauty. So is there any other option we can have to fix this issue. I watched YouTube videos of foreign doctor they will have plenty of options.
I am suffering from toothache since 3 days. I think it may be a cavity in my teeth. Its pains a lot during night time. So please suggest me what should I do.
Everyone wants bright white teeth, but be careful of some over-the-counter whitening systems. Speak to your dentist before trying one of these products.
Toothpicks can be an alternative to use for flossing if dental floss is not available. Remember not to be too harsh while using it.
I am having black patches in my mouth and it burns too much. I am taking Medicine from past 6 months and it's not improving. I am facing a lot of problem in eating.
Hi doctor, I have pain in all the teeth and gums from last 1 year, and I was thinking due to wrong diet. On teeth xray OBT, the dentist says wisdom tooth are making pressures and all 4 teeth will be removed. Is there any other way to correct it without removing the wisdom tooths.
I do not have any pain but my dentist said you need cleaning and filling What will be charges of cleaning root canal and filling.
A healthy set of teeth is essential for good living. However teeth problems are widespread and you are susceptible to it at any age, at any time. Though there are medications available for tooth problems, sometimes extraction of the tooth remains the only plausible solution.
You may have to undergo tooth extraction for multiple reasons. Some of them are:
1. Unaligned teeth
In case you are suffering from unaligned teeth, chances are that you may suffer from what in technical terms is known as "crowded mouth." In such a situation you have difficulty in eating as there is not enough room for the teeth in the mouth. Extraction of tooth, in this case, remains the only way to rectify it and align the teeth in a better fashion.
2. Infection
Sometimes if you suffer from a tooth infection, it tends to quickly spread to the pulp, affecting and damaging the blood vessels and different nerves. Though medications are available, if the intensity of the infection increases, extraction of tooth remains the only option.
There are different steps that are involved in the extraction of teeth. They are:
1. Local anesthesia
Like all other surgeries, administering a local anesthesia is the first step. If you are undergoing a tooth extraction, the dentist or the surgeon will inject an anesthesia that will create numbness and soothe you of the ensuing pain.
2. Cutting away gum and bone tissues
After the anesthesia, the dentist will proceed to extract the infected tooth. In order to this, the doctor cuts away the gum and the tissues covering the tooth. After the root of the infected tooth has been exposed, the dentist would then with the help of forceps, sever it from the jaw.
After the surgery, you must observe certain precautions to expedite the recovery process. Some of them are:
1. Take painkillers
After the tooth extraction, the possibility of suffering from an ensuing pain is incredibly high. Therefore, in most cases the dentist prescribes certain painkillers and you must take them regularly.
2. Change the dressing
The operated area will be covered with bandages to preclude any infection. However, the dressing must be changed from time to time. If the same dressing remains for a long time, chances of an infection increase.
3. Complete rest
After the extraction, you must take complete rest and not engage in any form of physical activity.
4. Avoid certain foods
Just after the surgery, the operated area remains tender. Therefore, you must eat food that requires less effort to chew like soup, pudding, ice cream etc. You must also abstain from smoking and drinking for some time.
Odontalgia or severe toothache is characterized by extreme pain or inflammation of the tooth and its surrounding areas. The excruciating pain that you might experience may stem as a result of gum infection, tooth decay, infection of the dental pulp, abscess and due to certain other reasons like extraction or filling of the teeth. Another key reason for extreme toothache is the fact that a number of heart problems such as myocardial infarction and angina tend to affect your dental health negatively.
While some toothaches might occur sporadically, they might pose a danger against your overall well being in the long run if the condition is left untreated. Homeopathy can serve as the perfect antidote to your toothache problems and its effects are noted to be significantly higher when it comes down to the question of long-term consumption.
Here is a list of homeopathic medications that might prove to be a pain alleviator for your dental complications:
Root abscess responds positively to both Hepar Sulph and Silicea. For fever accompanied with occasional chills due to severe toothache, Hepar Sulph is considered to be the perfect remedy and tends to significantly decrease the level of swelling and pain. On the other hand, if your face swells and there is an incidence of gum inflammation, Silicea must be used to numb the effects of root abscess.
Plantago is noted to be the most commonly prescribed medicine for toothaches and for treating sensitivity. The pain extending to the ears from the teeth receives maximum relief due to the effects of Plantago. It might have to be taken internally or applied externally depending on the severity of the toothache and its accompanying conditions.
Sensitivity is best taken care of by Staphysagria and resolves the problem of worsening of toothache when any drink or food is consumed. Bleeding gums and excess salivation is also another aspect that is looked after by Staphysagria.
Tooth extraction and filling may often lead to the consequence of nerve-wrecking pain in the gums and the affected area. For this, Arnica is prescribed to assuage the nerve pain and must be taken in along with Hypericum, another homeopathy medicine, for best results.
Problems of halitosis and excessive salivation that tend to occur simultaneously with toothaches can be solved by a dosage of Merc Sol. Bleeding gums, looseness of teeth and sensitivity are all taken care of by the same medication.
For jaw swells along with toothache, you must always opt for Hecla Lava. The effect is instantaneous and relieves both swelling and pain.
Chamomilla serves as the best remedial homeopathic medicine for easing heat sensitivity that is likely to worsen the existing toothache. Drinks and food, either hot or cold, can then be consumed easily because of the numbing effect of this medicine.

It is going to get graphic, but I hope that is okay...xD It's about a girl who wins a trip to come live with TeamCrafted for an undecided amount of time. She quickly finds out that she is really into Mitch or BajanCanadian. If you are thinking about doing something similar send me a message or leave me a comment to go read it, i really need new stuff to read!Hope you like it. It would mean a lot to me if you leave a comment, telling me if you want more..;)
Thanks guys.

If you missed us during our West Cost Tour, Gulf Coast Tour, or at the Ventana Kite Expo last week, come find us in sunny Florida and give the Fat Lady a ride.
You might have heard of the Fat Lady, the Trigger, or the Prime, but this is your chance to actually check them out in person, and get some time on the water with these 2012 Kites.
Blade Kites will be at the Jupiter Kite invasion this weekend, but after that, we will be chasing the wind, and trying to get time on the water.
To find out locations and conditions, check out our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/BladeKitesUS for details.
