Global oil demand will be sluggish throughout 2013 as economic expansion remains tepid and oil supply levels comfortable, which could alleviate oil price pressures on consumers, the West's energy agency said on Wednesday.
Continue Reading Below
"Global demand growth is expected to stay relatively sluggish through 2013, based on the continued assumption of tepid global economic expansion," the International Energy Agency said in a monthly report.
It forecast global oil demand growth for 2013 at 865,000 barrels per day, 110,000 bpd higher than in its previous report, taking consumption to an average of 90.5 million bpd.
On the supply front, the IEA said spectacular growth in U.S. production on the back of a boom in shale oil will be one of the top developments for the market in 2013.
The United States will contribute around two thirds of an aggregate increase of 890,000 bpd in non-OPEC output in 2013, for a total of 54.2 million bpd, IEA said.
"If confirmed, this would be the fourth-largest annual growth for nonOPEC supplies in the last decade. In fact, growth could exceed expectations in the U.S. if prices remain high and if producers of light tight oil are able to find economic transport options for their incremental barrels," it said.
The IEA also said its estimate of demand for OPEC oil was unchanged for 2013 at 29.9 million bpd, much higher than the group's current production of 31.22 million in November.
It said, however, that it did not expect OPEC ministers, who were meeting in Vienna on Wednesday, to decide on any production cuts but that they would probably roll over their current 30 million bpd target, given relatively robust oil prices.
"Indeed, Brent futures prices are on track to surpass 2011 record levels this year, buoyed by heightened political risks in key producing countries, both in OPEC and nonOPEC countries," it said.
The IEA said it believed Iranian production had edged lower in November, down 20,000 bpd to 2.70 million bpd, and that preliminary shipping data indicated volumes may fall further in December due to international sanctions.
Shipments of Iranian crude, based on arrival data, fell to multi-year lows of 1.07 million bpd in September but recovered to 1.3 million in November as reduced oil buying from China and India was offset by a rise in purchases from Malaysia, Taiwan and the UAE, the IEA said.
"Iranian crude exports are expected to turn lower next month and into the New Year - reaching a level closer to 1 million bpd - as EU and Asian countries reduce further their crude imports from Iran in order to secure continued access to the U.S. financial system," it said.
The IEA expected top global exporter Saudi Arabia to cut shipments in coming months due to increased demand for crude supplies at its domestic and international refinery operations.
It said it believed Saudi Arabia's output edged higher in November, by 100,000 bpd to 9.9 million, significantly higher than data given by Saudi Arabia to OPEC earlier this week showing output of 9.49 million.
The IEA said that, although on the surface the oil market appeared calm, recent data showed radical structural changes including an apparent acceleration in the eastward shift of global oil demand growth.
In the third quarter of 2012, European oil demand went through its steepest year-on-year contraction since the 20082009 financial crisis, while Asian oil demand remained robust.
Oil demand by the European members of the OECD plummeted by 895,000 bpd in the quarter to 13.8 million bpd due to a combination of nearrecord product prices and a weak economy.
"The last time European oil demand nosedived as it did this summer, international oil prices had been in freefall. Not only are crude prices holding up, but European consumer prices hovered near record highs this summer, buoyed in part by a weakening currency. This was likely part of the reason for the dip in demand," the IEA said.
It also noted that five of the world's top 10 oil consumers were now nonOECD countries. While the United States still leads the top 10, Brazil, Russia, India, China and Saudi Arabia together took five of the next six spots, the IEA said.

What's Your Instinct: Could Same-Sex Marriages Become The Model For Heterosexual Unions?
If you take out a few of the cringe-worthy moments in a new report from ABC News that equates same-sex marriages with "who's going to kill the mouse?" moments (plenty of straight couples have that same argument), there are a few silver linings that foresee a time when gay and lesbian couples provide archetypal examples of marriage to opposite-sex unions.
Sociologists are eager to look at the outcome of same-sex marriages over the long haul and what happens to household dynamics when gender is no longer a part of the equation.
The National Institutes of Health has given $1 million to researchers at San Diego State University to study 1,000 gay and straight couples and their siblings who have been followed over a decade, since 2000 when same-sex civil unions were legalized in Vermont.
"The same-sex couples who got civil unions in Vermont in 2000 will always be the longest legal gay couples in North America," study author Esther Rothblum told the New York Times, which first reported the grant. "There is so much to learn by following them, but we really know very little. Most of the questions people ask me about same sex marriage, my answer is, 'We don't know yet.' "
The first data was published in 2004 in the Journal of Family Psychology and then followed up again in 2008 in the journal Developmental Psychology. Initial findings were that these couples were happier than their heterosexual counterparts and reported less conflict and higher levels of intimacy.
Communication was also better, according to the studies, which may be because women feel more comfortable talking to other women and men with male peers.
Some speculate that the absence of gender roles may be part of the reason for more marital tranquility.
So, what's your Instinct? Could same-sex marriages become the model for heterosexual unions?

Three, two, one ... swish.
Presumably millions of basketball-centric kids on courts nationwide have practiced that very scenario, counting down to themselves before letting fly. The result in those fantasy situations matters little in the grand scheme of things if its a miss, simply try again.
Nick Tomsick didnt have that luxury in games against Dixie State and CSU-Pueblo. Didnt matter, either. He drained 3-pointers on both occassions to force overtime in games the Fort Lewis College mens basketball team would go on to win, the latter on a buzzer beater from center Torrey Udall.
And while theyve been far from perfect in five games, the Skyhawks record is sterling: five wins, no losses.
Two of them were comfortable victories over NAIA program Northern New Mexico. The other three, however, have been decidedly tighter. Alongside the two overtime victories, FLC topped UC-Colorado Springs 72-69 last weekend in both teams Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference openers.
With a team thats working in so many new faces or players in new roles, tight victories are morale boosters, perhaps building cohesiveness through struggle and tense moments.
I think it was a good job for us battling adversity to come back in games to even have a chance to have a shot at the end, Tomsick said. So I think that was the main thing. ... If those games go a different way, our mindsets completely different than it is now being 5-0.
Of course theres the flipside to that. FLC has been nothing short of masterful late in games, but the Skyhawks trailed CSU-Pueblo by seven with 55 seconds to go before a blistering rally. They trailed by six with 1:37 to go against Dixie State, as well.
So despite a stellar record, head coach Bob Hofman is far from satisfied as Adams State heads to town for tonights game.
We have a rhythm that we need to play, and I dont think weve really established that rhythm yet, Hofman said.
In some respects, when it happens early in the year, it can end up a sense of fools gold, where you think Ah, no matter what, were going to find a way. But quite often, when your margin of error doesnt increase, those games can turn against you.
If Tomsick is any indication, neither are the players. The team knows Adams State presents a different kind of challenge as an undefeated team in its own right, so theres room for improvement as the Skyhawks meet the Grizzlies, then rivals Colorado Mesa and Western State next weekend.
Defensively has been a big key that weve been working on, jumping to the ball and getting in a little better shape, still, Tomsick said.
That mentality has been evident at practice, where Hofmans been seeking to keep his charges eyes looking forward, not back. And Hofmans practices this week havent been so much about length as enthusiasm and energy over a shorter period of time.
As a program, weve been successful, but youre never successful because you care about winning, but you care about effort, Hofman said. And I like the word enthusiasm better than intensity, but its got to be all the time. It cant be some of the time.
The Skyhawks werent nearly as lucky or good in late-game, tense situations last season. They were just 2-7 in games decided by five or fewer points a year ago, including a 1-2 mark in three tight contests with the Grizzlies, the victory coming in OT in the RMAC Tournament opener in Alamosa.
Flipping that around and winning the close games, or any game for that matter, isnt about caring more intensely about the outcome but rather the energy, Hofman said. FLC will need it to stay unbeaten against a good Grizzlies team. Then again, the Skyhawks have been on the money when the clock reaches its end destination.

Jim Carrey Taking Part in Daughter's New Album01 Apr 2011
By Lucas Allen (Web correspondent)
Often Jim Carrey shows off his singing talent in both his movies and talk show appearances. But now he gets to do something he has not done before, taking part in daughter Jane's new album. This April, he will be in the recording studio doing backup vocals on the Jane Carrey Band's yet-to-be-titled new album. This will be the first time the two have ever work together on a musical project. According to an unknown source, Jim said it has always been his dream of making more music in his career especially when working with his daughter.
If you didn't know, the Jane Carrey Band is a band formed by Jim's daughter Jane (from the actor's first marriage with Melissa Womer that ended in 1995) that first debuted on MySpace. Since then, they had gained a minor cult following.
April Fools' Day April Fools' Day April Fools' Day
While there is no known release date at this time, the new album is projected to be released this fall on iTunes and Amazon. There will also be a mini-tour during that time to promote the new album. It's not clear whether or not Jim Carrey will be on the mini-tour though it might affect his schedule on his upcoming film projects if he accepts.

Sept. 18, 2006
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - MIT's men's water polo team concluded its trip to Colorado Springs this past weekend by dropping its final two contests against the stiff competition of La Verne University and California Baptist. The Engineers (2-8) fell to La Verne, 9-7, before rounding out the trip with a 13-5 loss at the hands of the No. 18 ranked Lancers.
Tech started slow against La Verne, and as a result, found itself trailing 7-3 at the half. The Cardinal and Gray failed to give in, however, and behind the efforts of senior Kevin Amendt and sophomore Mike Smith Bronstein, battled back to get within two goals at 9-7. Unfortunately for the Engineers, it was a case of too little, too late, as the Leopards played keep away to close out the match.
By the time MIT played its final game of the weekend against nationally ranked Div. I opponent Cal Baptist, fatigue began to wear on the bodies and minds of the young squad. The team fought hard, but too many mistakes on the offensive end led to counter attack opportunities which the Lancers converted on their way to a 13-5 victory.
"We saw bright spots, but we made youthful mistakes. This experience should prove to be valuable as we head into league play in the coming weeks," said assistant coach Jay Fantone.
"The team is getting better. We have a lot of potential. We just need to keep plugging away," added freshman Devin Lewis, who tallied seven goals to lead the team in the four games on his way to being named to the All-Tournament team.
The Engineers will try to get back on the winning track this weekend when they host home matches against Fordham and Dartmouth on Saturday, Sept. 23, before welcoming Navy and Queens College on Sunday, Sept. 24. The games are all part of an invitational that also features squads from Boston College and Connecticut College.

Music Industry Wants To Put 'Red Lights' In Google For Sites It Says Support Infringement
from the entitlement-much? dept
The whole system is modeled on Google's current practice of warning people about potential security problems with sites. Of course, that involves something that can be much more easily confirmed. In the meantime, I imagine that Google -- who spends a ridiculous amount of time and effort to test any UI changes to its search results -- is probably horrified by that graphic above.

Dennis Quaid's Wife No Longer Seeking Divorce
(LOS ANGELES) -- Kimberly Buffington-Quaid, the wife of actor Dennis Quaid, has withdrawn the divorce papers she filed in early March, according to TMZ. The two have been married for seven years.
According to the site, Kimberly told a judge that she no longer wants to pursue divorce proceedings, and the case was dismissed.
Rumor had it that Kimberly called the whole thing off after realizing that her husband wanted her to receive nothing in their divorce settlement. But reps for the actor told ABC News, "Contrary to what has been reported, a satisfactory settlement is being worked out for both parties."
Kimberly Quaid initially filed for divorce because she said the marriage "has become insupportable because of discord or conflict of personalities," according to legal documents obtained by TMZ. She sought spousal support along with attorney's fees.
This would have been the third divorce for Dennis Quaid. He divorced actress P.J. Soles in 1983 and Meg Ryan in 2001.

Maybe the 'blue sky of day'????
Is this correct:
I am not talking about the glory of the blue sky. I am talking about the greater glory of the night sky.
Maybe the 'blue sky of day'????
Hi TDOL,
Do you know any other blue skies?
Just kidding. But I did think it would be obvious. In any case, If I put in "of day", would it be correct grammatically?

text: Birds Point Floodway Crop Loss Estimated at $85.2 million June 21, 2011 03:51 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email Potential crop value lost when the Birds Point levee was blown in southeast Missouri totaled $85.2 million, according to a report by the Food and Agricultural Policy Research Institute. The Army Corps of Engineers opened a 133,000-acre floodway between Birds Point, Mo., and New Madrid, Mo., to relieve flooding at the junction of the Mississippi and Ohio rivers at Cairo, Ill., on May 2. The economic loss multiplies to $156.7 million when broader economic changes are applied, said Scott Brown, University of Missouri FAPRI economist. The study was requested by U.S. Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, R-Cape Girardeau, and delivered June 16. The primary study applies to current-year crop loss only and neither long-term impact nor losses to farm and public infrastructure are included, Brown said. Likewise, losses do not include damage from seepage or backwater outside the floodway into the Missouri Bootheel. The area flooded includes the most diverse crop plantings in Missouri. Crops include corn, soybeans, wheat, cotton, rice and sorghum. FAPRI economists estimated current-year plantings and potential yields based on USDA records of recent-year plantings. The acreage was adjusted by current FAPRI baseline projections for 2011. Prices were based on the June 2011 USDA midpoint estimates for the 2011-12 crop year. That resulted in a corn price of $6.75 per bushel after normal Bootheel crop basis was included. Local crop budget models from David Reinbott, MU Extension agricultural business specialist, Benton, Mo., were used to determine variable crop production expenses. The budget was used to estimate input costs. Local observers estimated just over 50 percent of the corn variable production costs had occurred prior to the breach and were lost. The study indicates variable costs lost this year total $15.7 million. The next factor entered in the model was reimbursements available to farmers, Brown said. The primary source is crop insurance. Because 2011 data is not complete, the 2010 data was used to imply coverage and type. The USDA Supplemental Revenue Assistance Payment Program (SURE) payments were included as well. Brown said that money will not reach farmers until late 2012. Crop insurance covers $15.9 million and disaster payments another $2.2 million. When crop variable expenses and returns from government payments are included, the 2011 crop loss totals $42.6 million to farmers in the floodway, according to the FAPRI report. The broader impact to the region was implied by using a time-proven model called IMPLAN. The model adds direct effects plus indirect and induced effects. Indirect losses measure the lost business such as from farm supply purchases. Induced losses measure how lack of farm income affects suppliers of consumer goods and professional services in the area. "Agricultural dollars flowing into an area pass through many hands. The loss estimates highlight how the levee breach goes well beyond production agriculture," Brown said. The land inside the floodway is held under easement by the Corps of Engineers for flood relief. Advance warnings allowed farmers to move machinery, stored grain and household goods out of harm's way. However, many assets including buildings, bins and irrigation systems could not be moved. "Economic estimates in this report may need adjustments as the year unfolds. The damage will be felt for years to come," Brown said. "However, that was not part of the current study." Field reports indicate some soybean fields are being planted. Winter wheat is also expected to be planted this fall. Record floodwaters rising on the Missouri River will eventually flow to Birds Point before summer is over. Area farmers seek rebuilding of the breached levee. For the study, a panel of advisers was gathered to point out the complexities of economic losses. "FAPRI appreciates that help," Brown wrote in the report. "But FAPRI assumes sole responsibility for the content." The full report is on the MU FAPRI website: www.fapri.missouri.edu. Back to news

The bottle: Green Spot Irish whiskey, $50
The back story: As we look ahead to St. Patrick's Day on March 17, it's worth noting that Irish whiskey has become the darling of the whiskey world in the past few years: Even though the category trails far behind Scotch or bourbon in overall sales in the U.S., it's been increasing at a much faster clip: In 2013, Irish whiskey grew by 17.5% whereas single-malt Scotch grew by 11.6% and bourbon (and Tennessee whiskey) grew by 6.8%, according to the Distilled Spirits Council of the United States. All this has set the stage for what seems to be the next chapter in the Irish whiskey story — namely, the push to promote pricier brands and expressions, as in whiskies that run $50 — or even $100 — and more. "High-end Irish whiskey is experiencing a renaissance of its own," says Paul Di Vito, a vice president of spirits giant Pernod Ricard USA, which has several Irish whiskies in its portfolio, including Green Spot.
And speaking of Green Spot, it's a brand that has roots going back to the 19th Century, although it's never been made available in the U.S. — until now. It's also an example of an Irish pot still whiskey, the style that some experts say best defines Irish whiskey in general. (Don't let the name fool you--pot still whiskey is indeed made in that namesake container, but its key characteristic is that it combines malted and unmalted barley in the mash and has a tell-tale complex flavor and creamy mouth-feel as a result). Green Spot, which takes its name from the daub of green paint on the barrels that hold the spirit, also benefits from aging — some 7-10 years, to be exact, in different types of casks (sherry and bourbon included).
What we think about it: In a word (make that three words), this is smooth, rich and sweet. Irish whiskeys have long been appreciated for their sheer drinkability — as opposed to, say, a smoky single-malt Scotch — but Green Spot adds a level of delicious refinement to that ideal. The taste is honey or even bubblegum-like, but subtle at the same time. And the finish lingers, begging you to enjoy another sip. Little wonder that whiskey authority Jim Murray has called Green Spot "unquestionably one of the world's great whiskeys."
How to enjoy it: Brian Nation, the master distiller behind Green Spot, says he thinks the whiskey is best served neat. But he recognizes that a lot of whiskey fans enjoy it over ice and find that it brings out what he calls a "fresh, green apple character" to the sip. If you want to take things to the next level, New York's Dead Rabbit has introduced a cocktail called "The Revolver" that combines Green Spot with Green Chartreuse and dry vermouth, among other ingredients.

KnowledgeBase 00036: Inline Prompts
Inline prompts are a feature of the "Information style" multivalue products that allow data to be inserted into a command line within a stored sentence, paragraph or menu. Although they get their name from the ability to prompt the user to type in the data to be inserted such as a file name, there are many other items that can be inserted using this mechanism.
Use of inline prompts in paragraphs can be far easier to develop and maintain than the equivalent operations performed in a Proc.
This article gives a general overview of inline prompts. For full details, see the product documentation.
The General Form of an Inline Prompt
An inline prompt consists of a construct that, in its most general form, can be written as
<<control,prompt,check>>This can appear anywhere in a command executed from a paragraph, a sentence, a menu or even (though of limited use) from the command prompt.
The control element determines how, when and where the prompt is actioned. An inline prompt construct may contain multiple comma separated control elements. Very often there is no control element at all in which case the comma before the prompt element is also omitted.
The prompt element is the prompt text to appear on the screen. Some control elements do not cause a prompt to be displayed in which case the prompt text is ignored but still forms a useful comment.
The check element, again optional, applies validation to the data entered by the user in response to the prompt.
Simple Inline Prompt Examples
LIST <<Filename>>The above example will prompt the user to enter a filename which is then substituted into the command.
LIST SALES WITH DATE = "<<Date>>" HEADING "Sales on <<Date>>"The above example contains two inline prompts with identical prompt text. In this situation the command processor will only prompt once, using the same response in both substitutions.
Getting Information from the Command Line
It is often useful in a paragraph to insert items from the command line that started the paragraph into commands within it. This can be done with the Cn option that substitutes the n'th token from the command line, for example,
LIST <<C2,File>>In this example, the prompt text "File" is not needed but forms a useful comment to anyone reading the paragraph.
Using the I control code will insert an item from the command line in the same way as the C control code except that a prompt appears if the item is not present in the command line. This allows the user to supply data on the command line but, if perhaps they cannot remember what is required, to be prompted.
LIST <<I2,File>>This time the prompt text "File" is needed.
Getting Information from a File
Sometimes it is useful to insert data from a file. This might be, for example, a tax rate stored centrally within the application.
LIST SALES EVAL "PRICE * <<F(VOC,TAX.RATE,2)>>"In this example, the inline prompt reads the TAX.RATE record from the VOC and inserts the content of field 2 into the command line.
The optional check element of the inline prompt applies validation to the data entered by the user. It is either a conversion code enclosed in round brackets or a pattern match template. If the validation is unsuccessful, the prompt is repeated.
Use with a conversion code verifies that the data can be converted but the substituted value of the inline prompt is still the data as entered by the user. Because it is possible for a developer to create their own conversion codes, it is possible to validate against any criteria in this way.
Use with a pattern match template provides simply validation that the entered data has a specific form. The template may be formed from multiple alternatives, including constants, separated by "OR". For example,
LIST SALES <<LPTR for printer,'LPTR' OR ''>>
Other Control Elements
There are other control elements that allow construction of lists from a repeated prompt (R), forcing a prompt to occur every time around a loop (A), etc.
There are also additional control elements for performing very basic terminal screen formatting such as positioning the cursor.
The Strange Behaviour of Comments
Because inline prompts are handled as the first stage of parsing a command, they are evaluated even when they appear in comments. At first sight this appears to be very strange behaviour but it allows a paragraph to prompt for data early on that it will not use until much later.
QM Extensions
QM introduces many extensions to the inline prompt mechanism. The examples below show how some of these could be used.
Insert command line items 2 to 4:
Insert command line items 3 onwards:
Insert item 3, defaulting to SALES if not in the command line.
Process items from a select list, returning a blank response on reaching the end of the list:
Calling a QMBasic subroutine, substituing the value returned by the first argument to this subroutine into the command. Additional arguments can be included in the SUBR element:
Substitute the value of the QMBasic SYSTEM() function for a given key:
Substitute an @variable, for example the user's login name:
Substitute an operating system environment variable:
There are several more extensions described in the user documentation.

I love coming full circle – graduating from Moore in 1966 and now teaching here.
Our undergraduate and graduate students are motivated and unafraid to take risks. They are artists who can teach. I'm very proud of what they've accomplished, both in the classroom and the studio.
Teaching art for 36 years in the School District of Philadelphia affords me the privilege of passing on my experience as I prepare our future art teachers to educate our children. I love teaching art to children with disabilities. The graduate program has given me the opportunity to research and design curricula that will empower art teachers and all teachers to enrich the lives of children.
I'm excited to be part of designing a one-of-a-kind graduate program as we seek out best teaching and learning practices for children with special needs through art.
I love coming full circle – graduating from Moore in 1966 and now teaching here.

I've been keeping this on my radar while I was browsing through MMOHUT. I've been curious to play because it seems so fun just reading it alone. Where you more or less have no PvP in the game, but it focuses on the PvE aspect with cooperation with others (you can play solo) that can produce outstanding results. I'll give it a shot now since Star Wars: The Old Republic takes forever for me to download.

I was thinking of making a thread for this myself but just never bothered
It's pretty good fun if your into this type of action game.
The pure focus on PvE is pretty good imo, not sure PvP would work here but fact I don't have to put up with "elite" noobs makes me happy
You can either play it solo or party up with 3 others and just run missions killing s***.
It's quite the blast really, however it lacks content in way. There isn't a great deal to it atm but I can see it expanding over time.
There is a grind to it, like if your wanting a certain frame or weapon, you have to farm a boss or whatever in the hopes a blueprint is dropped and then you have to acquire materials for crafting.
But it's not that bad I find, mats can be easy enough just the blueprints might take awhile.
I use the Trinity frame atm which is supposed to be a healer but honestly I'm not really healing much atm
Oh and when your changing colours of your frames or weapons press escape after you have selected them, they don't actually have a confirm button for confirming your colours, which is frankly stupid.
You'll probably see other small stuff like that on the menus which aren't greatly thought out.

However they put up a key bindings on the wiki so it's all good now.
@felix you can just select solo which will be only yourself and no one will join but gotta be careful some of the missions can be pretty tough solo especially the infested or defend ones.

I've played it for about 25 hours so far and I enjoy it. Though the game is starting to lose it's attraction for me. It's just too repetitive for my taste. But if you don't mind running the same three levels with pretty much the same gear over and over again, this is great.

Was pretty fun, though can't find the solo option, aparently double clicking auto-joins or something. Had a little lag but was running a ton of crap in the background when playing so not sure if me or the game.

I've been playing on and off for a while (still only an initiate though) and it seems quite good so far if a little samey but they're adding new stuff all the time so that should improve a bit in time.
My main gripe is that the shop is too expensive and most lower teir weapons will set you back 150 platinum points (£6.99) which isn't really a "micro-translation" and although you can buy some with in-game credits it takes a stupidly long time.
Still its pretty fun and looks great so thats nit-picking I suppose.
My handle is DrakeUK if anyone fancies some co-op shenanigans.

Most people aren't complaining about the time it takes to build, for the most part, considering it means that you literally have access to more or less 98% of the game's content through crafting, 70% of it being market blueprints or straight up purchases, 20% being boss drops, and the last 8% being blueprints earned emergency missions.
Besides, you want to complain about time issues? People point you to EVE Online and its skill upgrades. 3 days for a single warframe(and half a day for each of the 3 components, and the foundry can do multiple projects at once) is apparently paltry.
As for money issues, the devs are still working on that curve, but higher missions do pay out better as of the last few hotfix patches.
Sidenote: All items bought with Platinum come supplied with Orokin Reactors/Catalysts. It's a convenience thing.

Been playing Warframe for a while now, but my first impression was: It's (almost) just like the Mass Effect 3 multiplayer! (Though there's plenty of differences here and there)
Many interesting things you can do with the amount of freedom of movement they give you, but you have to play around a bit or search the wiki for various acrobatics or attacks you can do. I'm quite liking the mod system; it can turn a low tier Braton into a damn awesome gun! Which is why I'm fine with the weapon pricing, since the focus is more on the mods and you just buy a gun which suits your playstyle. Been trying to get my damn serration mod up to level 6 but the amount you need to fuse is just ridiculous!
It gets kind of repetitive though, and I swear I had to kill the same boss more than 20 times just to get a blueprint. Be nice if they could increase the drop rates by just a little...

Oh good there's a thread already Seeing as how F2P is in all the rage these days, I figure why not pick one up and give it a spin? Warframe doesn't seem to be as big as say WoT or Planetside 2 so it doesn't hurt my hipster status
Wanted to start with Volt but they replaced him with Mag, so I went with Loki because... It's called Loki damnit. Starts out pretty slow though, definitely a game that is more fun with coop... The acrobatics and slides reminds me of [Vanquish] so that's always a plus. The lack of a cover system helps emphasize more on movement.
Gunplay is solid enough, melee lacks 'impact' though and is more...Floaty. Haven't used enough of the abilities to make a judgement.
Combat is fast, progression is decent, but the pay off is SLOW.... Maybe it's just for the starting levels, but it doesn't feel 'reward' at all each time I complete a mission. The loots are either lackluster, or I just can't use them yet.
Would be interesting to play this on the PS4... I'm too used to controllers that the keyboard feels awkward to me now ^^

Weapons aren't so bad but frame can take an age.
I've been working on getting an Ember frame and so far I've played the same boss mission several times a day for almost 3 weeks and I still have yet to obtain all the blueprints I need for the separate parts required to build it since I keep getting the same blueprints I already have or none at all from the boss drop.
Once I do have them all I would then need to find all the ingredients required to build each part which themselves are often hard to come by.
Add to that unless I've accumulated a significant amount of credits I may have to build the pieces separately which takes 12 hours each and then once I have all of the components it would take a further 3 days to put it all together.
Given how Warframe has a more quick fix game-play style compared to EVE its a little daunting for a casual player like myself.
That said its just a personal gripe and I'm still playing.
Chaos2Frozen the melee weapons vary greatly and although the starting sword lacks any kick (since it only hits a single enemy at a time) some of the bigger and more exotic weapons are a blast, I've used Gram for quite a while and its pretty devastating to groups of enemies especially its ground slam and charged attack.
I also picked up the glaive recently and although its melee attacks are stupidly weak its charge attack throws it like a boomerang which bounces off walls and is often a one hit kill on equal leveled enemies.

Yeah after I posted that last night, I went to take a look at some youtube videos and wiki the melee weapons. I take back what I've said- there is more to the melee system than I had originally thought from playing. But I still don't like the lack of 'feedback' I get from slashing targets since the attacks just goes through them- oh well, a minor gripe.
But I do agree with you in one thing- the reward system here is painfully slow. I wish they didn't bank on a crafting system for everything- it discourages experimentations.

This recipe has simple ingredients and pretty good flavor. Plus, it's loaded with yummy good-for-you veggies!
Mushroom and Barley Soup - Adapted from the Crockpot Cookbook
6 C chicken broth
16 oz. mushrooms, sliced
1 onion, chopped (or 2 T minced flakes)
2 large carrots, sliced
2 stalks celery, sliced
1/2 C barley*
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. thyme
1/2 tsp. pepper
Combine all ingredients in the crockpot and stir. Then, cover, and cook on low for 4-6 hours.
*I would add the barley about 2 hours before serving (if it's quick cook), otherwise it will be too overdone.
We used the leftovers (with a little corn starch as a thickener) over a pork roast... yum-o. Highly recommended.

BATON ROUGE, La. (AP) LSU freshman defensive tackle Trey Lealaimatafao might not be able to play this season after he injured his arm punching through glass in the Tigers' weight room.
LSU spokesman Michael Bonnette says Lealaimatafao was hospitalized Monday to treat a deep cut to his arm. School officials have not offered further details on why the player punched through glass, the severity of the injury or the effect it could have on Lealaimatafao's career.
The 6-foot, 300-pound Lealaimatafao was a coveted recruit who was expected to compete for playing time immediately.
As a senior at San Antonio's Warren High School, he was credited with 53 tackles, seven sacks, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries. He was honored as a U.S. Army All-American.

APAC Hiring
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) – A company that handles customer service for other businesses is adding about 275 jobs in Green Bay. A WLUK-TV report says the jobs at APAC Customer Services Inc. are full-time hourly positions. The company provides customer service on behalf of other businesses. APAC was in a state of transition last year when it was purchased by One Equity Partners. APAC officials said at the time they weren't sure what the sale would mean for the future of the Green Bay center. But the company says business is going strong. Recruiter Denise Caelwaerts says APAC is fortunate to be growing under the current economic circumstances. With the expansion the company will have more than 1,000 employees in Green Bay.

charles syrus, oklahoma city thunder, ownership mentality
A guy named Charles Syrus apparently wrote a song that had the phrases "Go Thunder" and "Let's Go Thunder" in it, cheering on the Oklahoma City Thunder NBA team. Syrus then got a copyright on the song. And then... he claimed that the copyright for the song gave him the copyright in those two phrases, and demanded 20 to 30% of the teams' "net gross" (um...) for using those phrases in promotional campaigns. Not surprisingly, the district court and the appeals court rejected his lawsuit, noting that "we easily conclude that the phrases 'Go Thunder' and 'Let's Go Thunder' do not reflect the minimal creativity required for copyright protection." And, finally (though to the surprise of pretty much no one, Syrus excepted), the Supreme Court has said it has no interest in hearing his appeal. Some will claim that this is no big deal, since the courts got it right and this clear overreach of copyright law went nowhere legally. However, it does seem like yet another sign of the insanity of our culture today and the suggestion that everything and every phrase is "ownable" thanks to modern IP laws. You wouldn't even have a case like this if people didn't think it was possible to abuse copyright in this manner -- and given the headlines we see of crazy sounding copyright cases all the time, it shouldn't be any surprise at all that people are tying up courts with ridiculous claims like this one.

Anyone who claims that is an idiot. The expense of taking a case all the way to the supreme court is outrageous. My guess would be at least a half million in attorney fees alone. That is not a system that works for a frivolous case.
And even if the court does make the loser pay, where is that money coming from? It's not like that song writer has a half a million dollars lying around.

It makes perfect sense to me that he should get wealth from then combining the two. If he had added two claps between every time the line was repeated it would of been worth 50% of the teams gross.
wallow-T, 30 May 2012 @ 1:52pmIt would seem to me that the sports team should have a claim against the songwriter, as the concept of "Thunder", as the name of the sports franchise, must be protect by trademark or copyright or something. :-)

Game On! Sports Schedule for April 15, 2013

Current Law Students / Intrastate laws« on: July 18, 2007, 08:52:05 AM »
A company in NY rented A/Cs from vendor (in NY) and used a shipping/messenger service (in NY) to deliver the goods with trucks from vendor to the company. When the A/Cs arrived, they were damaged en route which costs $1500. This money needs to be paid to the vendor. What liability does shipping company have? Where can I research for New York laws that govern? I have searched everywhere. WHere can I find State laws or cases or regulation that talks about limitation of liability in NY?

One of the maid of honor's/best man's major responsibilities is to plan the bachelor/bachelorette party or bridal shower.
Before handing out the invites, quiz the bride/groom about whom she/he would want to share the night with. Also obtain suggestions for the degree of formality, activities and attire.
Whether the bride decides to let her hair down and have an outrageous party, host a traditional bridal shower or spend a pampering day at the spa, accomodate those wishes. The same goes with the groom. He may prefer to go to abaseball game with close buddies or go toa strip club.
Not all brides/grooms are comfortable with male exotic dancers, so avoid an uncomfortable situation by checking with the bride/groom, and in some cases, his or her fiance before hiring one.
Even if a night of drunken debauchery is not your style, you can still let your hair loose by giving the gag gifts or lingerie. Other mood-lightening activities include trivia games to test the bride's knowledge of the groom's personality. (Test her knowlegde, then play the groom's prerecorded answers.)
It is best not to plan the party the night before the wedding. There is nothing worse than taking photographs on the most important day in one's life looking hungover or tired. Make transportation arrangements for the entire party, so that no one will be tempted to drive home after a night of drinking.

Top 10 Reasons for Sprouting
1. Only Pennies per Serving
One tablespoon of seeds will fill a quart jar with several ounces of sprouts. A 4 oz. package will yield several pounds.
2. Simple and Easy
Take less than a minute per day to grow and prepare. They will grow nearly anywhere indoors, in any season. Sprouts require very little space and travel well. They are the ideal vegetables for campers, boaters and RV users. Complete, easy -to-follow instructions are provided in the sprouting kits, on the seed package labels and in the Handy Pantry's book, Sprouting for Health in the New Millennium.
3. Fresh and Ready Quickly
This "garden in your kitchen" grows very fast, in any kind of weather. No digging, planting, weeding, pests or chemicals involved. And there's no long wait like in seasonal outdoor gardens. Just a few days to a bountiful, nutrition-packed harvest. When stored in your refrigerator, they will stay fresh for days or even weeks if rinsed properly.
4. Toxin-Free Food
Sprouts are as sweet and pure as nature intended food to be. The Handy Pantry supplies only natural, untreated seeds, with up to 99% rates of germination, grown especially for sprouting.
5. Complete Foods
Sprouts are real health food. They are full of life, as you will see in how fast and well they grow. When home-grown, you know they are pure, and you can enjoy them at the peak of their perfection.
6. Tasty and Delicious
You may be surprised how truly tasty sprouts are. Enjoy them in salads, on sandwiches, stir-fried, steamed or even baked in wholesome, home-made breads.
7. Highly Nutritious
Several contain more protein than cooked meat, at a tiny fraction of the cost. The presence and balance of amino acids make this protein more digestible. All sprouts are rich in vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes and fiber. When exposed to light, several become rich in chlorophyll.
8. Low in Calories/Fat
One fully-packed cup of alfalfa sprouts contains only 16 calories. These are simple sugars for quick energy. Sprouts contain no cholesterol and provide several essential fatty acids.
9. Help Detox Your Body
Chlorophyll helps cleanse and oxygenate the blood. Enzymes aid in the digestion and assimilation of nutrients and contribute to the body's life force. Fiber aids elimination, and lecithin helps the body get rid of cholesterol. A raw food diet is one of the best ways to detox your body.
10. Build Your Immune System
Sprouts contain antioxidants, which help the body to cleanse, detox, rebuild and heal itself. Antioxidant enzymes are especially important because they are essential for the proper function of the immune system.

Independent Discussion Guidelines
None of the the people with the special permits OWN their slips. The city/Waterfront owns them and the slip holders pay monthly rent. People who live on their boats often go multiple days if not weeks without driving their cars because they are conveniently located to work, grocery stores, etc and can bike or walk. Some liveaboards work in the harbor and have very little need for daily use of their vehicles. Commercial fisherman often go for multiple days or even weeks without driving when they are out at sea for extended periods of time and they need the benefit of the slipholder parking permits.
There are a set amount of "year long" parking passes allocated only for slip holders so they have the convenience of having a place to park their vehicle while on multi-day trips or if they live aboard as noted above. Liveaboards also pay an extra fee for the extra use of facilities, which include parking, water, electricity, etc. This proposal would be like your home or apartment landlord telling you to move your car from the driveway every 3 days or pay a fine. Also, there are really only a few dozen cars at any one time that aren't regularly moving around - it's not like there's a lot full of cars that never move, not even.
If there's a concern about patrons needing extra parking in this specific lot, then why does the Waterfront sell an unlimited number of Waterfront parking passes to SBCC students? SBCC students jam up BOTH lots and make it difficult and at times impossible for harbor workers, slip holders, fishermen, beach goers and people who actually do their activities WITHIN the Harbor to find a parking spot. SBCC students should be parking at SBCC or at least restricted to the west Leadbetter beach lot which is mostly SBCC students during the week and beach goers during the weekends.

The parking lot fills up a few times every year, I was told the number of days are growing every year. I think it's up to 30 days out of 365. Those days are holidays, Semana Nautica, volleyball tournaments, swim meets, harbor festivals, cruise ship visits (22 this summer), SBCC events and so on.
I have used the harbor for over 40 years and can remember this filling of parking spaces for that long and for the almost all the same reasons. One thing anyone will notice if you come to the harbor on those days will be the vehicles waiting in line to get in and the sign the harbor-parking department puts up "Lot Full".
You could get rid of all those pesky boat owners and their boats by filling up the harbor and paving it over and there would still be a shortage of parking spaces on the those very same days. And yes there would still be a line waiting to get in.
It's just like the movie "Field of Dreams" build it and they will come.

There needs to be much less emphasis on pleasing tourists and more focus on improving the lives of residents.

The ones affected by the crowded harbor parking lot are not only the tourists but the locals, as well, wanting to eat at the restaurants, rent sailboats from the sailing center or just stroll about to enjoy the ambiance. And then there's all the employees of the waterfront businesses and the harbor; most all of them probably park there. Slip tenants should not be allowed to have a year-long storage space for a vehicle that doesn't move.

People who live in houses get "year long storage spaces" for their cars on the street. The people living on the boats pay for that privilege.

"At Large" said - "Slip tenants should not be allowed to have a year-long storage space for a vehicle that doesn't move."
- I agree and this is the only problem, and it's not that many vehicles compared to the number of spaces. The idea to punish every slip holder for this is the wrong approach. The Harbor Patrol and Waterfront knows absolutely who those year long non-moving storage car and milk truck owners are. Perhaps the Waterfront could propose an "application" for a year long parking permit. Based on previous history, people who are obviously taking advantage of the system should get denied. The slip holders who are in accordance with the rules and not "abusing" the loophole should receive year round permits. The current proposal would be devastating mostly to liveaboards and fisherman who are the core of the Harbor community, and also to boat owners who take extended length trips multiple times per year.
This proposal if passed will cause a lot of resentment towards the Waterfront with some year round slip holders and this type of division between the two parties is unhealthy in such a small community.
The the best thing is to work together and come to a plausible agreement instead of simply cutting everybody off.
Either get revoke privileges to the obvious abusers or make year round permits application required by all slip holders.
I think that's fair, do you?

Yes, K_V, people who live in houses can "store" their vehicles on the public street, but those vehicles are subject to be towed if parked for five consecutive days (in the County).

And in the city of SB, those vehicles can be ticketed if they are not moved for 72 hours. There are storage facilities on Caesar Chavez, about a mile away from the harbor.
I agree, 93101SB, that liveaboards who do not use the parking lot as a storage facility and active boat users, fishermen and others, should be able to get extended parking privileges - and privilege it is in the public lot.
But there are others, including those with the regular red passes, who are abusing the system by going away for months, not sailing but simply traveling. The stored vehicles take up needed spaces, including from the businesses who depend on their customers being able to park, Sea Landing and the Sea Center --- both of which pay a lot of rent.

Packers T.J. Lang Curses Out Refs Dares NFL to Fine Him
Green Bay Packers T.J. Lang -- Curses Out Refs, Dares NFL to Fine Him
Green Bay Packers guard T.J. Lang must love throwing away money -- 'cause after last night's disastrous ending to the Packers-Seahawks game, he blasted the refs with a tweet that's gonna cost him a ton o' cheese.
In case you missed what EVERYONE is talking about ... Monday Night Football ended with the biggest blown call in NFL history -- the Packers intercepted a Seahawks Hail Mary pass in the endzone, but the replacement refs (unbelievably) said Seattle's Golden Tate simultaneously caught it ... thereby screwing the Packers.
Lang immediately hit up his Twitter page after the game, saying ... "Got f**ked by the refs.. Embarrassing. Thanks nfl"
Knowing full well that tweet would cost him ... Lang followed up with, "F**k it NFL.. Fine me and use the money to pay the regular refs."
No word yet from Commissioner Roger Goodell's office on just how much Lang will be fined -- it WILL be a lot.
But considering how badly the refs blew the call, we gotta ask ...

I learn something about Oracle everyday and in the last few days the learnings have been rather painful. I have been trying to create a physical standby database on version 10.1.0.4 on HP-UX. The target is a two node RAC and the standby is a single instance database. the reason for the standby was to move to an ASM storage on a differerent server.
I will try to produce a whole cookbook on the effort; but in the meantime let me explain the pain points.
Like everyone else, I scanned the books, articles, MetaLink, the internet, the socks drawer and broom closet; but couldn't find a good write up on how to perform this task in real life.
For instance, most of the recipes suggested taking a cold backup, something that was impossible since the target is a production database.
Others recipes suggested taking a special backup of the database using RMAN with a special clause - WITH CONTROLFILECOPY AS STANDBY (or something like that; I forgot th exact syntax). Well, duh! the backup is already taken and I can't re-exeute this "special" backup. So down with Option 2.
There was no clear document on how to do it. So, here was my first attempt in a nutshell:
(1) Mount the RMAN backup filesystems on the standby server using NFS
(2) On the standby server, create the pfile
(3) start the instance (nomount)
(4) add the service to the listener
(5) add the service to the tnsnames.ora
(6) on the primary, add the tns entry for the standby
(7) On the primary issue the command
RMAN> backup current controlfile for standby format '/backup/c.ctl';
(8) create the rman file:
connect target /
connect auxiliary sys/manager@odssby
connect catalog rman/rman@catdb
run {
set until scn = 71196399221;
duplicate target database for standby
(9) and now comes the golden moment. I run it:
$ rman @r1.rman
and it fails after some time with the error:
RMAN 6024 no backup or copy of the controlfile found to restore
Well, this is wierd. The controlfile has been created on the primary as a standby controlfile. This is also recorded in the catalog. So, what's the deal with the "no backup of controlfile"?
Some Metalink articles even suggested something like
run {
restore controfile from '/backup/c.ctl';
replicate controlfile from ....
this could not have worked for me, since I am not creating a new database; I'm creating a standby one.
So, I delvedinto some research. I will spae you the details and cut straight to the chase. The issue was with the time when the controlfile backup was taken. In my case, here is what I did:
Time -> ----+----T1---------T2----------
Arc Log Controlfile
Backup Backup
Taken Created
This cuased the recovery to start at a point earlier to T1, where there was no controlfile backup for standby. Naturally the restore failed.
The solution: simple. Just took another backup of archived logs after time T2. Once the backups were succefully created on the disk, I ran the rman script again and voila! everything works.
The real issue is how RMAN displays messages. Instead of producing a relevant message that points to the issue, it produces a rather cryptic message that gives the impression that some controlfile backup is not present. Well, perhaps in 12g, becuase I know that is not available in 11g.
