Hm... let's get some order into the hospital induced GWAMM progress chaos
by, 05-10-2011 at 07:32 (5940 Views)
Vanquishes missing:
- Lornar's Pass (party size = 6)
- Kessex Peak (ps = 8)
- Talmark Wilderness (ps = 8)
- Majesty Rest (ps = 8. req. change in team)
- The Falls (ps = 6)
- Pongmei Valley (ps = 8)
- Rhea's Crater (ps = 8)
- Raisu Palace (ps = 8)
- Sunward Reaches (got a bounty?) (ps = 8)
- Floodplain of Mahnkelon (ps = 8)
- Yatendi Valley (ps = 8)
- Resplendent Makuun (ps = 8)
- Wilderness of Bazdah (doh, I thought I did that?) (ps = 8)
- Hidden City of Abadashim (ps = 8)
- The Alkali Pan (ps = 8, wurms suck)
- Verdant Cascades (ps = 8... Asura faction needs some boost, so maybe wait with that until december for real)
Missing missions:
- Aurora Glade (ps = 6, req change in team)
- Sanctum Cay (ps = 6)
- Nahpui (ps = 8)
- Dasha Vestibule (ps = 8, bleh, with useless Margrid...)
- Dzagonur (oh ffs) (ps = 8, ooooh ffs)
[x] EotN
Missing Dungeons:
- Temple of the Damned (ps = 8... hm, never done it normally in HM)
- Frontis Irontooth (ps = 1, no issues there, I guess)
- Darkrime Delves (ps = 8, should be ok)
- Bloodstone Caves (ps = 8, I foresee no issues there)
What I find interesting about this is that the nasty parts are part of what's left. I mean... Joko's Domain? Arrrgh. Dzagonur? Meeeeeep. Eternal Grove? Aaaaaah no!! Majesty Rest, the only Tyrian area with a really special someone? Gah.
Alright, also some really simple stuff.
So, since the map rotation means that I'd have to wait until Christmas until these vanquish quests become active again, I'll do them without the guidance of the zaishen. Missions and Dungeons, I don't know. The zaishen rewards for these ain't that special and the rotation is a lot faster with them. I just ignored them for the last three weeks because I really only did half a GW thing per day, and the speed will continue to be at this pace.
Edit, months later:
Well, I've done a few things, finally. I think it's obvious that progress towards GWAMM is a lot faster if doing things in a sensible order and at my own speed instead of listening to the zaishens' ideas about the ideal order of doing things. Of course, the extra loot given by the zaishen is nice, but it sucks that a few weeks in a hospital can essentially stop the progress completely... "because I want to wait until the zaishen give me the quest again" - and then I happen to be in rehab or whatever when the zaishen do this at last.
I had a few goes at Eternal and it sucked.
Anyway. Solution: Don't be shy, bring 3 monks (Razah, Ogden, Tahlkora). Plus prot on Olias and MoW. Plus Shelter on the SS Xandra.
Xandra and Razah were more than capable to hold a gate while the rest of the team ran around.
I had swapped Gwen out in favour for the extra monk.
Oh, and no Death Pact Signets here, just FomF.
It went surprisingly easily and well in the end, actually.
Xandra needs to do some running between the gates because she can poop spirits in both gates.
For the Afflicted stage, Olias and Razah held one side (with Xandra's spirits), while I and the rest (incl juggers set to follow-mode) kept the appropriate (overcrowded) side.
Sucked over all. But now it's done.

And because the application is always available, customers can access it at any time. Dealers interested in enrolling in the Shop-Click-Drive program can visit www.gmglobalconnect.com, and access the application through Sales Workbench.

A simple one step enrollment process enables GM dealers to become eligible for the program. Dealership System Administrators (DSAs) can subscribe now by visiting the Dealer Info section within the Admin tab in RouteOne.

RouteOne was formed in 2002 by Ally Financial, Ford Motor Credit Company, TD Auto Finance, and Toyota Financial Services to create a more streamlined web-based credit application system for automobile dealers and their customers. Providing access to more than 19,000 dealers in North America, RouteOne's web-based system allows automotive dealers to submit credit applications to the largest indirect lenders, request credit reports, and increase profitability with RouteOne's free Dealer Reporting Suite.

Carol Lynn Alpert, director of strategic projects at the Museum of Science in Boston, is one of the founding PIs of the NISE Net, and also serves as director of informal science education for the NSF Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing headquartered at Northeastern University, and director of public engagement for the NSF Nanoscale Science and Engineering Center headquartered at Harvard University.
Carol Lynn has worked in the area of nanoscale informal science education since 2001, leading a team that produces museum programs, interactive media, science theater, TV news, guest researcher events, and professional development workshops. She wrote and directed The Amazing Nano Brothers Juggling Show and produced the Nanomedicine Explorer interactive multimedia exhibit. Carol Lynn also directed the museum's annual Nanotech Symposium for Educators and Journalists for three years and executive-produced the six-DVD video series, Talking Nano, (available at talkingnano.net). She currently oversees production of a series of special live nanotech news segments on New England Cable News. She served as an advisor for Dragonfly TV: Nano, the Twin-Cities Public Television PBS series.
For NISE, Carol Lynn developed the Research - Informal Science Education (RISE) partnership initiative, and is working on the development of ISE and science communication professional development programs for early career researchers. She serves on the advisory board for the NSF Portal to the Public initiative.
Carol Lynn was also appointed to serve on the City of Cambridge Nanomaterials Advisory Committee. In this role, she was instrumental in arranging the first joint science museum - municipality public forum on nanotechnology. She has published several articles about nanotechnology, education, and public engagement in Materials Today, ASTC Dimensions, and in MRS, NSF, and ASEE conference proceedings. She is also active in the NIH NCRR SEPA community.
Carol Lynn joined the staff at the Museum of Science in 1999 to lead the development of the Current Science & Technology Center, an award-winning live stage, exhibit, cablecasting, and multimedia production facility designed to engage public audiences with current research.

The PCOS Diet
PCOS stands for polycystic ovarian syndrome, which is a hormonal imbalance that affects a large proportion of women nearing menopause. This hormonal disorder causes a fair amount of inconvenience for women who suddenly find that they have irregular periods (or none at all), facial hair, infertility and acne. But the major symptom that accompanies PCOS is weight gain that refuses to go away.
Obesity is associated with about 50 to 60 percent of women who suffer from PCOS. The condition arises due to an excessive production of insulin, the hormone that helps in converting carbohydrates into simple glucose, and thereafter the storage of this glucose in the form of fat. Due to an overabundance of insulin, a large proportion of all carbohydrates that are consumed are converted to fat and end up being stored in the body's cells.
Evaluating a specific diet plan for PCOS is essential because the condition presents a peculiar situation that can only be tackled by a specific diet targeted at weight loss for those with high levels of insulin. It has also been observed that women who suffer from PCOS need a weight loss of approximately 5 to 10 percent to regularize menstrual periods, obtain skin clarity and achieve a reduction in insulin levels.
Given that weight gain in PCOS is directly linked to higher levels of insulin, it is obvious that the level of carbohydrates need to be reduced to lose weight.The food pyramid recommends that about 55 percent of all calories should come from carbohydrates. For those suffering from PCOS, this proportion should remain somewhere between 40 to 45 percent of all calories consumed.
An additional recommendation revolves around the kind of carbohydrates that should be consumed. Consuming complex carbohydrates makes the insulin work longer and harder. This helps in limiting the amount of carbohydrates that will be converted directly into fat. Complex carbohydrates like whole wheat flour should therefore be chosen over simple sugars. Checking the glycemic index of foods can help you consume foods that have complex carbohydrates as compared to simple ones. The idea is to consume foods that have a low glycemic index.
A high protein diet is also known to help in reducing the levels of insulin in the body and can therefore be beneficial for PCOS. Fish, lean meat and tofu are some foods that have high protein levels and should be consumed along with complex carbohydrates.
The PCOS diet does recommend reducing overall intake of calories like natural weight loss remedies. Additional calcium and multivitamin are also recommended.
The PCOS diet does not require you to remove carbohydrates from your diet completely, but carbohydrate intake needs to simply be managed to avoid sugar cravings and excessive fat deposits.References:

I have been doing a lot of baking and trying to keep it varied. I am baking for my class and one boy asked me to make cupcakes and brownies. I solved the problem by making these. I think, he will be happier with the best of two worlds.
Brownie Cupcakes: adapted from Joy of Baking
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, shredded
2 cups margarine, cut into pieces
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 large eggs
3/4 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and place rack in center of oven. Line 12 muffin tins with paper or foil baking cups.
Melt the shredded chocolate and margarine in microwave. Once the chocolate is melted and smooth, remove and let cool for a few minutes. Then stir in the sugar. Add the vanilla and then add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Mix in the flour and salt until well blended.
Evenly divide the batter between the muffin cups.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 - 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a cupcake has moist crumbs. Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack.
Makes 12 cupcakes.
For the frosting recipe, go to Joy's site.

The Virginia League for Planned Parenthood Education Program collaborates with local nonprofit organizations, schools, churches, and community centers to offer research-based curricula to teens and young adults in the Greater Richmond area. VLPP is committed to reducing unintended pregnancy, preventing sexually transmitted infections, and promoting healthy relationships among youth in the community and empowering them to make healthy decisions. A few of the curricula we offer are listed below:
All Together Now—This five session curriculum was developed by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and emphasizes pregnancy prevention, STI prevention, condom use, contraception, decision making, and accessing sexual health services. All Together Now also includes optional follow-up activities to do with a trusted adult after each session. This curriculum can be used in single sex or co-ed groups. Research on this curriculum shows statistically significant increases in knowledge about contraceptives, the ability to use condoms consistently and correctly, and greater intention to use family planning services.
All Together Now + Safe Dates—Safe Dates is a research-based, intimate partner violence prevention program for teens. Safe Dates aims to increase awareness about healthy and unhealthy relationships and gives participants the skills they need to develop healthy relationships and to help friends who are in abusive relationships. Research has found that Safe Dates reduces intimate partner victimization and perpetration by 56-92%. When paired with All Together Now, this series also includes information about pregnancy prevention, STI prevention, condom use, contraception, decision making, and accessing sexual health services.
Streetwise to Sex-Wise: Sexuality Education for High-Risk Youth—Streetwise to Sex-Wise is a comprehensive model of basic sexuality education for high-risk teens. It applies research-based methodology of sexuality education to teens in non-traditional learning settings. All lessons are simple, concrete, and actively involve group members in the learning process. The lessons extend beyond factual information to also address attitudes, values, and skills. Experts find that this approach is more likely to lead to positive behavior change in young people. This curriculum can be used in single sex or co-ed groups. Evaluation of this curriculum shows increases in knowledge of pregnancy and STI prevention, ability to resist sex, and increased intention to use condoms and access family planning services.
Family Life and Sexual Health (FLASH): High School and Special Education Versions—FLASH is designed to encourage youth to make healthy choices: abstain longer, use protection if they do have sex, seek health care when they need it, communicate effectively with their families and with their partners and health care providers, seek help for sexual abuse, treat others with respect (not harass or exploit them), and stand up to harassment and exploitation. Based on Social Learning Theory literature, FLASH lessons include a variety of strategies designed to help students choose and succeed in these behaviors.
VLPP also offers single-session informational workshops on a variety of topics, including:
Sexually Transmitted Infections
Gender Roles
Healthy Relationships
Relationship Violence
Communicating with your Partner
How to Talk with your Kids about Sex
Overview of the Virginia League for Planned Parenthood
If you are interested in hosting a workshop, partnering to offer research-based curricula, or if need technical assistance (go to sub-navigation, "Tools for Educators") as you prepare to teach your own, please contact our Education Department at email@example.com.
Centering Pregnancy
The Virginia League for Planned Parenthood partners with the Richmond City Health District to implement Centering Pregnancy (https://www.centeringhealthcare.org/), an evidence-based (https://www.centeringhealthcare.org/pages/centering-model/bibliography.php) innovative model of group prenatal care shown to improve birth outcomes. Women who participate in Centering® are also happier with their prenatal care because they have more time with their provider, feel better prepared for labor, delivery, and caring for their newborns, and enjoy friendships with other mothers in group. Program participants are also more likely to deliver healthy birthweight babies at term and to initiate breastfeeding. Our Centering Pregnancy Program has been an Approved Centering Site since 2013.
For more information about Centering Pregnancy at Richmond City Health District, please visit http://www.centeringvirginia.org or contact our Centering Pregnancy® Program Manager at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Shields is a FA going into the 2015 season if the Royals pick up his team option in 2014 (which they should at 12 million)
FELLOW SATINISTS INCLUDE:FoC, YS, Harry, Zmaster, Gotta, ArkansasMetsFan, KingsnQueens7, The-rock-man, Wrigheyes4MVP, Vendetta, Jim Labruno
The one thing i am not sure about is whether they re-sign him, they gave up quite a bit for a guy that could walk in 2 seasons.
But the Royals had one of the better farm systems in the majors (positionally and with the guys they have produced over the last 3-4 years) to that point, it gave them the luxury to pull off a move like that.
Saying that, this trade could bite them in the *** five years down the line.

Anyone think we will add a prospect or two with Dickey to TEX for a package of prospects? I would love to get something like Mike Olt, Leonys Martin, and Jorge Alfaro. Haven't heard Alfaro's name pop up at all but it'd be nice if we can get those 3 for something like Dickey and Mejia maybe?

I was just told by a top major league exec that The #Tigers were heavily involved in discussions for Shields before #Royals landed him.
Nick Castellanos and Bruce Rondon/Austin Schotts
Make it happen Sandy.
Ninety percent Ill spend on good times, women, and Irish whiskey. The other ten percent Ill probably waste.

Can Castellanos play OF?

Sandy isn't here to do anything, I'm convinced of that now. He's just BS'ing and lying to the fans while the Wilpons try to get out of this mess. It's pathetic.
I'm sure Dickey will play out next season as a Met, do extremely well, and walk away from us without even a draft pick. I doubt the Mets even offer him the qualifying offer because they're too cheap.
lol yeah the tigers are def. dark horses imo, if they lose out on sanchez dickey would be a nice backup plan, and we need OF prospect in castellanos

I'd check google and Glock's main site and shoot them an email.
First post, please be gentile.
Any idea when the Glock 19 Rev4 will be released? I tried dozens of guns and decided on a Glock 19. I was close to purchasing, when the good fellows at the range told me to wait for the Rev4 model. Any idea when it'll hit the shelves?
I'd check google and Glock's main site and shoot them an email.
Just buy a Gen 3. I did and love it. Just think of all the fun shooting you are missing by waiting. Just my opinion on the matter. I would rather be shooting than waiting. No matter what you do, have fun.
OP, I know how you feel. I am holding out for the Gen 4 as well.
BHH, So. tempted. But I persist. One reason I have not right now is I just spent 400 on a new revolver and I have to build my gun money back up. Also trying to find a place that does not rape on ammo prices.
Think I found one but I don't know what the shipping will be.
Gen 3 G17s are great guns, just need to hold out a little while longer for the 4s
Good luck with anyone at Glock actually stating when the new Gen4 additional models will be out. Very few know that info and I'm sure that they have been told to NOT state when they will be out for possible effects to existing sales and people waiting for the new models.
Only Glock related info that has been made was that by Dave Sevigny during an interview at SHOT when he mentioned late summer for the 19 and its .40cal brother.
I guess I can do that, maybe save a good amount of money at the same time. Normally I try to buy referb'd or used to save money wherever possible (so more money can stay in the bank for a rainy day). This is my first new gun purchase though, and I think the Glock 19 Gen4 is worth waiting for.
I'm shooting at the DFW range once a month (100 rounds, left and right handed) for practice. So I can hold out for the Gen4...even though the thought of it makes me drool...
Welcome to the forum.
Welcome to the forum, donmontalvo.
I "feel your pain" on the Gen4 19. I was looking to purchase a 19 this past January and I was very interested in a Gen4 version for its ambidextrous layout, the grip texture and the recoil spring setup. However, I kept hearing "summer time" as the release date and nowadays, at Glock Talk, I'm hearing that the date is apparently around July. As a result, I went with an RTF2 version of the 19 and I'm quite happy with it.
What are you hearing that makes you want to wait for the Gen4 version? Depending on what you like for a grip texture, the RTF2 (a variant of the current 3rd generation line) may appeal to you. The ambidextrous layout (the ability to flip over the magazine release) may or may not matter to you. (As an aside on that, if you do move the mag release over to the right side of the frame, you'll only be able to use Gen4 factory mags with it.) The dual recoil spring is supposed to help some of the larger-caliber guns (22 and 23) that were said to sometimes experience feed/cycle problems with a light or laser on the rail. Apparently, none of these problems were experienced in the 19, so the dual recoil spring may not be of much benefit either.
Good luck to you.
A friend had me check the Glock 23, since it has more stopping power. After a couple clips I decided to go back to the Glock 19. I'm comfortable with the recoil (tighter groups after 50-100 rounds on the 19 vs the 23). The extra two rounds is comforting. Never know how accurate I'll shoot if/when the time comes to defend my family.
I saw a couple of Gen4 guns at the DFW gun show a couple weeks ago. I was planning on waiting for a Gen4 Model 30, but after handling a Gen4 gun, I decided to go ahead and get the Gen3 gun. I didn't care for the grip texture of the Gen4 guns. And the grip itself is not all that different from earlier guns. " Much ado about nothing," but good marketing strategy I guess.
Please believe me when I say that we've all been where you are now and it's not fun trying to decide when you should, please excuse the expression, pull the trigger and do it.
How would you feel if you waited one year for the REV 4 and six months later you hear that Gen 5 is coming out?
All I'm trying to say is that technology moves at an alarming rate and you really have to just do it. I held the Gen 4 and as a civilian I have to say I didn't like the new rough texture grips, and besides that if you're like a lot of us the first thing I did when I bought mine was to get a Pachmyr slip over with the molded in finger rests.
It's a great gun and the design won't change much so why are you stalling? Are you allowing some guy at the range decide when you get to order your gun?

I'm intrigued by the new design too. I am actually one who thinks the new design is worth the effort and might be worth the wait for 2 reasons that may only apply to me. I think the grip without the 2 inserts is better and smaller than the current standard grips. It slightly changes the angle and is esentially a SF kind of a difference like on the G30/G21 models. Second, I love that new mag release. It is larger but flatter and eliminates the rather sharp pointed corners poking us lefties between the middle and index finger of our shooting hand of the proceeding design. It's lower profile and contouring mates it up better with the grip reducing unintentional mag dumps by inadvertantly bumping and depressing the current box design. I have done that with Glocks and Kahr's in the past.
Only thing I am not to sure about is that new fangled dual recoil assembly. Love them or hate them the Glock 19 and 17 have been the bench mark for reliability in a modern day semi auto handgun. This new spring set up seems to be looking for a problem to solve and I just don't know what it is apparently. If they prove to be problematic can we swap back in the original style assembly? If yes then I'd jump on one. If not I'd personally wait and see what happens first.
As for the current large mag release, maybe I have a funny hold but I have a G34 and it came stock with the large release and it doesn't seem to bother my finger but like you, I was suspicious of that happening before I purchased it.
IDK, If I were you, I'd hold off a little longer on the 4th gen. There are a lot of people creeping up that are having marring issues and even some broken parts.
Well, I had a chance to handle and shoot a Glock 17, 19 and 26 last weekend. I decided the 19 was too big to carry (compared to the 26) and I like the 17 over the 19 for home defense. So I decided to get a Glock 17 for now. Later on, once I get my CCL, I'll pick up a 26. I know, all that talk about the 19 and I ended up going an entirely different direction.
It's a used, mint condition baby with Tritium sights, an after market trigger (sweet pull) and a brass weight plug. The gun seemed as close to new as you can imagine. Excellent condition, shoots beautifully. Got it for $450.
PS, Walmart stocked up on Federal 9mm 115gr ammo at $9.47 per box of 50, 6 box limit. Just wanted to spread the word. I picked up six boxes, should hold me over a couple months.
I wish that I could be that frugal during my range visits...
By the way, congrats on the 17. It's a versatile gun that you can use for SD/HD as well as competition shooting. I got to watch Dave Sevigny shoot in April and he's using a 17 for a lot of his competition events.
I really wish I could shoot more. I usually go with my buddies from work once or twice a month. Speaking of competition, am I right in assuming tritium sights aren't the most accurate? I mean I've been shooting a Glock 19 rental for months and it has Glock plain original sights. I managed 3" groups at 7 yards (standing). My Glock 17 with tritium sights shoots larger groups, and low and to the right. I guess I'm having a hard time adapting to the sights. Hmmmm...I may indeed need to buy more rounds to improve my aim!
I see that the original poster has bought a G17 instead, but I thought I'd post that the Gen4 G19s are now out, for anyone who wants one. I also saw a photo of a Gen4 G31 (.357) today, so there are a few new Glocks floating around.

Edelman EMEA president and CEO Robert Phillips leaves company
Robert Phillips, EMEA president and CEO of Edelman - the world's biggest PR agency - is leaving, in a shock move.
Phillips joined Edelman in 2004 when the US giant bought his agency Jackie Cooper PR. He was soon identified as a high-flyer by global boss Richard Edelman and then EMEA boss David Brain (now running Asia). Phillips was promoted to UK CEO in 2007 replacing Stuart Smith.
Promoted again to the EMEA brief in 2010, Philips opened Edelman in Turkey and Switzerland and bolstered operations in Russia.
Roberts is understood to be focusing on teaching in the short-term, given his recent appointment as visiting professor at Cass Business School, part of City University, London and writing his second book of 'public engagement'.
EMEA chief operating officer Susan Eastoe will serve as 'interim leader' while the agency reviews the structure.
Edelman added: 'I know Robert will remain very much a close friend of the broad Edelman family.'

Get answers to all of your questions from fellow owners and travelers.
Customize your experience by selecting your role:
Owner, Property Manager, or Traveler
I'm trying to get some clarity on the VRBO (only) review process.
I've recently requested (via VRBO's online process) reviews from 2 renters. One never responded and one did ( 50% seems pretty good in my experience). When the review was made I was notified - as in the past- by VRBO. I can't recall if I had a right to deny the review- as in the past. But, since I'd talked with the renter (I alway try to make an exit interview call or email), I didn't worry.
Does VRBO automatically send my renters a request for a review, or do they (renter) only receive a request if I initiate it?
I recently stayed at a VRBO .. beautiful Watercolor Cottage in Santa Cruz.
Much to my surprise, a few days after my stay, I (the traveler) received a message from VRBO in my inbox. I had sent inquiries to a couple of properties, and I guess VRBO didn't know which one I had stayed at (or if I had stayed at any of them) .... however, VRBO sent me a message with pictures of the properties I had inquired about ... and it was asking me if I had stayed there, and would I like to submit a review?
I must say, that made it very easy for me to submit a review.
So, it's a very handy thing, from the traveler's perspective.
But ... this answers an important question for property owners ... Is VRBO directly soliciting guests for reviews? Answer: YES, they are.
Just so you know!
VRBO has no way of knowing if I (the traveler) had a positive or a negative experience, so ... for the home owners, please be aware of that. You may decide not to specifically ask the guest to write a review, if the guest happened to have been one of those fussy complainers ... but most likely the guest will receive a review request directly from VRBO anyway.
Hi msdebj,
As sfvacationhut experienced firsthand, yes VRBO.com does send out an automated email with a list of properties that a traveler has inquired on, asking them to review any property they stayed at. Travelers receive this email about one week after the travel dates they indicated in their inquiry.
I hope this information is useful and please let me know if you have further questions.
This , in my opinion, is not a very good business practice. It seems to me to be similar to the dreaded "phissing" scams.
VRBO must realize that their income is generated from the individuals, or property managers who pay to advertise on your sites ( Your CEO stated this fact in a CNCB interview recently).
I have a few questions (as a paying VRBO advertiser).
What gives VRBO the right to solicit comment about MY rental from someone I never had contact with? ( a renter who sends mass emails to many properties). I spend time researching inquiries, and choose who I will respond to.
What happens to MY personal request for a review? If VRBO is sending a generic request for review, why would my renter respond to my request?
Do you have a way to guarantee a renter has actually STAYED at a certain property before you solict a review?
Why was I not notified when my contract regarding this matter changed? VRBO obvoiouly has email addresses of it's PAYING customers, and those travelers. you send requests to.
With all due respect- no one is too big fail. Not in this day and age.
I repeat, this a bad buisness practice. Your advertisers are your source if income. Travelers are OUR source of income, not yours. Vacation home owners compete with each other for renters, but until recent changes made in VRBO's policies we have been able to work with one another in offering our properties. I've often referred inquiries to OTHER prperties in my area. I now find myself having to pay eevr increasing costs to move up the LISTING, and compete with those who have $800 or more dollar a year to advertise on VRBO.
I kniow it's BIG buseness these days, but VRBO should rethink how it treats it's advertisers.

Hi misdebj,
I'm sorry to hear you feel this way. The email we send to travelers, reminding them to write a review, is an effort on our part to help homeowners increase the number of their reviews. Users of our sites can choose to opt out of receiving these emails at any time.
As always, a traveler must have stayed at your property to submit a review. If you'd like to get more familiar with the requirements for posting a review, please see our Content Guidelines.
You can also visit our Terms & Conditions at any time to know more about what is involved with using our site. I hope this helps.
Best regards,
Please add us to the list of unhappy customers.
I am shocked to hear what Travis has confirmed. I have chosen to Opt out of Reviews so to accomplish this we have incorporated a Non-Disparagement Clause into our rental agreement. I cannot believe this advertiser is placing my guests in a compromising situation by going behind my back and asking a guest to write a review when we have specifically told them that they cannot write a review Good or Bad. HomeAway/VRBO is interfering with the business arrangement by sending these emails out as they are causing confusion with the guest as the terms of my rental contact states the business relationship is to remain private. What on earth is the HomeAway Emprie thinking not every guest is going to be a perfect guest. Sending an email to a guest that I may have blacklisted and told them they are not welcome back to my home is really bad business practice!
The "new and improved VRBO" has been guilty of making many decisions without including us, the Owners, in the process. That is an extremely poor business practice. Change is one thing. Covert operations is quite another. Transparency is not a negative issue, unless one has something to hide. What does VRBO gain by not keeping its Owners informed of any and all changes pertaining to their paid listings? Surely VRBO has the wherewithal to spend a few moments on "Owners' Updates to System". Our having to negotiate the system and find out about the changes by default is not acceptable.
I think I am not alone in requesting that VRBO institute such an update system, effective immediately.
Wow - I'm surprised too! I thought there were essentially three prongs to the review process - that owners could submit reviews; that we could ask our guests to submit reviews, or that guests who actually stayed at our homes could submit reviews. This fourth method sort of irks me, and that has totally been my beef all along - that we have lost control over the review process. I understand that a guest may take the initiative to do so, but it really seems more than a bit intrusive for VRBO to seek them out on its own, with no input from the owner....
Obviously I am an idiot - inspite of having been Chief of Staff in a State Senate office and years as a Corporate Relocation Specialist .I'm reveiwing my contracts from VRBO - again. I'm looking for change notifications.
Thanks Travis-- I hope to find the answers to my previously posted questions somehwere in the documents you referred me to.
Travis, not found them yet, but I'll keep looking.

Hi msdebj,
Any luck?
Hey, infostay. Nope. Just my orginal agreement. No contacts re:mandated changes, etc. Of course, the orginal agreement is SO loosey goosey. But,,, we "vote with our pocket books", don't we?
Brings to mind that old saying " I've been screwed, and wasn't even kissed."
Having many rentals, we too are put into the position of extortion several time a year by renter who have damaged the property and then write a bad review if we try to withhold cost of damage from their deposit. Our properties are all high end and all are valued at several million dollars. We employ a full time property manager and cleaning staff who reply immediatly to any and all problems and requests. Despite this, We too have added a NON~DESPARAGEMENT clause to our contracts.
We have used it successfully twice now when a guest threatend a bad review for no valid reason other than they were angry about being charged for damage. We send them a freindly reminder of the clause in the contract and also remind them that any litigation would take place in our county. (Typically quited a distance from where they reside).
Both times the guest decided not to post a negative review.
We are currently working with an attorney to tighten up our contracts, but we are still shocked to find that the HomeAway family is soliciting reviews on our properties when our contracts disallow them without written approval from us. It seems that this is direct interferance in our business model and I would like Someone from HomeAway to explain this. HomeAway is an advertizing venue and I pay to advertise. I am not sure why they feel that they have the right to solicit anything from MY customers.
Somehow I missed out on this thread and I was not aware that Homeaway/VRBO were soliciting reviews from inquiries I get on the site. I too find this type of business practice an extremely poor one. If I want or solicit reviews from my customers should be my decision solely. I pay to advertise to get customers, not for VRBO to engage in my customers or business.
There was a news article in the SF Chronicle (April 20, 2012) about non-disparagement clauses for vacation rentals.
We've got a discussion about the news article, as well as opinions / feelings about non-disparagement clauses, going on over here.

Salt Lake City's five-piece outfit The Folka Dots (pictured above) started the evening off with their "old-time feeling" country-blues music. The band features beautiful three-part female harmonies, guitar, banjo, stand-up bass, violin and a washboard, several of the instruments being rotated in and out with each song. I don't think I would classify the band as a folk band, but rather straight-up Southern country, complete with cowboy boots and that country twang. Comparisons in my mind floated toward Swedish sisters First Aid Kit, but after The Folka Dots performance, I have to admit I heard the name Dixie Chicks being thrown around a little in the crowd. The band played a solid set, and the audience gave the band polite, positive feedback. However, it was the band's first time playing at Velour so I think the crowd treated them like any opening band they're unfamiliar with: Some people were really into it and helped the band along with occasional clapping and full-out cheers when the bass player sang a few lines in his deep vocals, but for the entire set I was distracted by how loud the background talking was.
I'm going to give it away right here and say that The Mighty Sequoyah's performance was the highlight of the evening for me. This was my first time seeing the band play live. I had watched several videos online (my favorite being a live studio recording of their song "Medicine Man"), but I had never seen them play in person. They started with said song blowing my mind by how amazing it sounded live. It was the perfect way to start their set, and the audience responded with explosive applause. The Mighty Sequoyah's male-female harmonies are intense and emotional, at times very controlled and other times loud and yelling, and frontman Caleb Darger's somewhat raspy voice fits perfect with the band's folk rock sound. The Mighty Sequoyah's lyrics are great, and there was a lot of singing along from fans in the crowd and, much to my surprise, the few occasional fist pumps. I was glued to the band for the entire set and desperately wanted more after it was over. This is one band you're going to want make a trip down to Utah County to see soon.
I've been an Isaac Russell fan for years, dating back to the time he went by Ruru. The first time I saw him perform "Elizabeth" at a show opening for Joshua James, I was hooked. Goosebumps rose up and down my arms, and I think a tear or two probably rolled down my cheek. I played his debut album over and over and thought the songwriting and musicianship incredible, especially since he was only like 14 when it was released. He signed with Columbia Records a couple of years ago and last night's performance was the first time I'd seen him play in years. I'm happy to report that he's still got that ability to capture an audience's attention and keep listeners hooked on his every word throughout his entire set. He played by himself, switching off between acoustic and electric guitars. He started with a Ray Charles cover and then played a mix of some newer songs, as well as older, crowd favorites like "Elizabeth" and "House of Cards." He explained the meanings behind each song that he played, giving the evening an almost "MTV Unplugged" feel, but what amazed me most about his performance was how silent the audience became the moment he stepped on the stage. Aside from people (myself included) singing along quietly, it was completely silent. I could hear each click of the camera shutter with each picture my friend took.
I know I'm extremely late in the game, but this was my first time seeing The Moth & the Flame play live. I've seen videos and seen other bands the guys have played in, but this was my first time experiencing what all the hype here has been about. Looking around, I could tell the band had some hardcore fans present, knowing exactly when to bang their heads and knowing when each moment in each song would come. The band's alternative, experimental sound works perfectly with the fog and the strobe lights cleverly cued at just the right moments. They have some pretty amazing harmonies, as well (obviously a theme from the night) and singer Brandon Robbins's voice is a perfect fit for the genre they dabble in. It's calm and pretty at moments yet can shift and become chaotic and frantic at other times, matching perfectly with the equally shifting dynamic in the music. I was awestruck at how beautiful and frail the music was at times, with just the notes of a piano playing, and then how it could shift so drastically with experimental guitar riffs and shouting and orderly chaos a moment later. The juxtaposition of the two different emotions is amazing and probably my favorite thing about the band's live performance. Robbins announced that the band would play a song requested by fans that they weren't originally going to play, but I'm glad they did. I recognized "Lullaby II" as the song they performed in their Occidental Saloon video. The Moth & the Flame were a great end to an incredible night. I wouldn't be surprised if several of Saturday night's performers make it to the final round.
The Folkadots have a great old timey blue grass sound. Isaac Russell did a great job at quieting the crowd. The Moth and The Flame was pretty good. Live, they sound pretty much just like their album. But they really don't live up to all the hype they get.
Honestly, The Mighty Sequoyah blew me away. I can't believe they are not getting as much recognition as some of the other bands around here. They are probably the best band in Utah county right now, maybe even the state. They have an amazing sound and live it is executed beautifully.
That was an awesome show. All the bands were great, but the one that was different and set itself apart from the rest was the Folka Dots. They have a unique sound compared to most of the bands in Utah right now. Plus the 3 girls are all smokin HOT! All the bands were extremely talented and all get a hat tip, but the Folka Dots got the vote.

675cc, 105bhp, 145mph, Insurance group 14
Compared to the previous incarnation, the 2013 Triumph Street Triple R is lighter, smoother, more refined and has the handling and brakes a superbike would be proud of. Best of all, it's 6kg lighter. It's lost some of that in-your-face, foaming-at-the-mouth aggression, which made the original make us all stand up and take notice back in 2007, but it'll be ...
675cc, 107bhp, 141mph, Insurance group 14

The first clip from the increasingly disappointing film, which seems to be wasting the talent of director Kim Jee-Woon ("I Saw The Devil," "The Good The Bad The Weird") features a crazily-edited action sequence, cut mostly to hide the fact that Arnie isn't able to really run at all, and has the actor crash through a door, and declare he's feeling "Old." Get it!? Because he totally is. Another way to look at this movie is that it co-stars Johnny Knoxville. Enough said. With "The Expendables 2" and the upcoming "The Tomb," Arnie is really trying to get out his last kicks before his body just isn't up for it anymore, but surely he can do better than this?
"The Last Stand" arrives on January 24th. [New poster via IGN]
Mr Anonymous | January 7, 2013 8:31 AM
I don't understand why such a talented director like Kim Jee-Woon would come to the US to make a film like this especially when it's his US movie debut. There must have been something he liked about the script? Maybe it's a B-movie classic and we just don't know it yet?

Corfu, Malibu Moon's top juvenile of 2013 who set a new stakes record in the Saratoga Special S. (G2), has been retired from racing and will stand the 2014 breeding season at John & Leslie Malone's Bridlewood Farm in Ocala, FL. Corfu's introductory fee is $3,500 stands and nurses, and he's available immediately for inspection at Bridlewood upon appointment.
"We are very excited about Corfu and his tremendous potential as a stallion at Bridlewood," said George G. Isaacs, Bridlewood general manager. "Corfu demonstrated precociousness and brilliance on the track, and he's a very good physical by a current top sire. I firmly believe Florida breeders are going to love him. Corfu is available for inspection immediately, and I invite people to come out to the farm and see just how impressive he is."
Corfu was a leading 2-year-old both in the sales ring and on the racetrack in 2013. The handsome son of leading sire Malibu Moon topped the Barretts March Select Sale for 2-year-olds in training earlier in the year, commanding $675,000 from Demi O'Byrne after breezing a quarter of a mile in :20 4/5 seconds.
Corfu was given to trainer Todd Pletcher and pointed for the prestigious Saratoga summer meeting, where he impressively broke his maiden in July at first asking in :58 1/5 seconds for the five-furlong Maiden Special heat. Coming back just 17 days later, Corfu led at every call to score his biggest career win in the Saratoga Special S. (G2) in a dazzling 1:15.57, setting a new stakes record in the 6 ½-furlong event that has been contested at that distance since 1994.
The speedy Corfu was also runner-up in the Futurity S. (G2) at Belmont in September after setting a blazing opening half-mile in :44 3/5 seconds. An earner of $214,200 on the track, Corfu is out of the Forest Wildcat mare Fashion Cat, a half-sister to the three-time Grade 1-winning and $3 million-earning Florida-bred, Peace Rules.
For more information about Corfu or to schedule an inspection appointment, please contact George at 352-622-5319 or visit www.BridlewoodFarm.com.
Yesbyjimminy's leading 2-year-old Flay Mignon got her second career stakes win Saturday at Monmouth Park with a dominating win in the $60,000 Jersey Juvenile S. Yesbyjimminy if Florida's only freshman sire with a stakes winner from his first crop.
Ridden by Paco Lopez, Flay Mignon covered the six furlongs over a fast main track in 1:11 flat to secure her third win in four starts, including a win in the $78,000 Colleen S. two months ago over the same track.
"I'm just glad to be here in New Jersey and to have a nice horse like this," said winning trainer Eddie Plesa Jr. "She's one of the nicest 2-year-olds in the barn. She's shown how good she is and that she can run on anything."
Plesa trains Flay Mignon for his wife Laurie, also the filly's breeder.Inner Goddess is Yesbyjimminy's fourth winnerInner Goddess gave Yesbyjimminy his fourth winner from his first crop with a victory in a 5 1/2-furlong maiden special weight affair Saturday at Gulfstream Park. The 2-year-old filly, like Flay Mignon, is trained by Eddie Plesa and owned and bred by the trainer along with David Melin.

Since the very beginning of the GSC metagame, Skarmory has proved to be a force to be reckoned with. With an amazing base 140 Defense stat, 9 resistances, 2 immunities, and no physical weaknesses, Skarmory is easily the best physical wall available in GSC. Throw in Skarmory's ability to phaze opponents with Whirlwind and boost its already ridiculous Defense with Curse, and you have an excellent check to top threats such as Snorlax, Marowak, Heracross, Exeggutor, Machamp, Umbreon, Quagsire, and Espeon. In addition, Skarmory's resistance to Normal-type attacks also makes it a good switch-in to most predicted Explosions.
While Skarmory is an amazing physical wall, it lacks the ability to effectively deal with special attacks from most special and mixed attackers, the reason being its measly base 70 Special Defense and poor base 65 HP. Skarmory's movepool is also rather limited; beyond Toxic and Drill Peck, it has little in the way of offense, and is forced to rely upon Rest and Leftovers for healing off damage due to its lack of recovery options. While sleeping, Skarmory will no longer be able to check some threats, such as Belly Drum Snorlax, Marowak, Machamp, and trappers, although others, such as Curse Snorlax, non-Seismic Toss Heracross, and most Exeggutor, still won't be able to get past Skarmory. That said, Skarmory is still an incredible defensive Pokemon that should always be considered when team building, especially when creating a stall-based team. Ignore this bird of steel at your own risk!
This set gives Skarmory everything it needs to succeed. With access to Whirlwind and Curse, as well as fantastic resistances, Skarmory will be able to counter many top OU threats with ease. It can easily come in on Curse or Belly Drum Snorlax and phaze it with Whirlwind. Curse allows Skarmory to effectively wall Belly Drum Snorlax as well as last-Pokemon Curse Snorlax after only one or two boosts. Skarmory can also deal with the likes of Heracross, Marowak, and Machamp, preventing them from sweeping or setting up. Additionally, it can serve as an effective check to Umbreon and Misdreavus without Thunder, as Whirlwind will stop their respective trap-passing and Perish-trapping attempts.
Curse gives Skarmory additional Defense boosts, increasing its general longevity. The sheer physical durability of Skarmory after a Curse cannot be understated. For example, at +1 Defense, Skarmory will almost never be 3HKOed by Snorlax's 999 Attack Double-Edge, 999 Attack Marowak cannot 3HKO with Rock Slide, boosted Steelix can't OHKO with Explosion, 999 Attack Rhydon never 2HKOes with Rock Slide, and Machamp will fail to OHKO with a +1 Cross Chop even with a critical hit. Curse also gives Skarmory a Speed drop that lets it phaze other Curse and Roar users, such as Steelix, Rhydon, and Tyranitar, that would otherwise phaze Skarmory instead. While not common, Skarmory can occasionally sweep thanks to Curse if Growl users and special attackers such as Zapdos and Raikou are removed, but this is a very situational scenario. A quick note on Curse: when using Pokemon Netbattle Supremacy, Skarmory will be one Speed point faster at -1 than Snorlax; however, when using Pokemon Online, Skarmory at -1 Speed will tie with Snorlax.
With Drill Peck, Skarmory has an option to deal a good chunk of damage to threats such as Machamp, Exeggutor, and Heracross. Skarmory resists both of Exeggutor's STAB moves, and barring Sleep Powder or Hidden Power Fire, it can switch in with impunity. When going up against Curse Machamp, it is a good idea to boost with Curse first before using Drill Peck in order to prevent Skarmory from losing a good chunk of its health to Cross Chop. Rest is for recovering health and removing paralysis; a paralyzed Skarmory will find it more difficult to check Pokemon it would normally beat, such as Swords Dance Marowak, Curse Machamp, and Belly Drum Snorlax. However, keep in mind that a sleeping Skarmory won't be able to counter threats it normally would, such as setup sweepers and trappers. As a word of warning, opponents can and will capitalize on the two free turns from Rest. It is recommended that you only use Rest when completely necessary; Heal Bell support is also a good idea.Team Options & Additional Comments >>>
Other Options
Outside of the moves already mentioned, Skarmory has a few options that it can use over Curse. Thief is an interesting possibility because it can remove Leftovers from an opponent, making them more susceptible to being worn down over time. Keep in mind that Thief only works when Skarmory is not carrying an item. Toxic is another option over Curse to drain the opponent's health. However, many Pokemon carry Rest, and Heal Bell support is also fairly common, so Skarmory will often find it difficult to sufficiently wear down many of the tanks that Toxic is meant to counter; however, Toxic is still useful for forcing certain Pokemon to waste a turn Resting. Pokemon that often carry Rest without Sleep Talk, such as Raikou, are especially susceptible to this strategy. Wearing down Electric-types looking to switch in can be very useful, especially with Spikes support. Toxic will also wear down Tyranitar, Rhydon, Cloyster, and Dragonite looking for an easy switch-in, and is effective against defensive Pokemon that don't have Rest and Sleep Talk, such as Starmie and Miltank. Sand-Attack is another option for Skarmory to use against Kangaskhan, and makes a great ploy for annoying opponents in general. The accuracy drops can really ruin opponents, especially those that rely on moves without perfect accuracy, such as Thunder Zapdos and Raikou.
Checks and Counters
Strong special attacks remain the best way to deal with Skarmory, as they hit its much weaker Special Defense. Electric-types such as Zapdos, Raikou, and Jolteon can easily switch into Drill Peck and force Skarmory out with a super effective STAB attack. Mixed sweepers such as Nidoking, Dragonite, Tyranitar, and Fire Blast Snorlax can all come in and do a great deal of damage to Skarmory. Vaporeon is a deadly special sweeper which can scare out Skarmory and use the free turn to boost. While not common, Charizard can come in on Skarmory, threaten it with Fire Blast, and use Belly Drum as it switches out. Cloyster and Forretress can easily set up Spikes on Skarmory. Steelix, Kangaskhan, Rhydon, and Tyranitar are all slower than Skarmory after a Curse boost, allowing them to force Skarmory out with Roar after it uses Whirlwind—in GSC, phazing moves fail if they go before the opponent moves. Houndoom and Tyranitar can rack up Pursuit damage on Skarmory by threatening it with powerful Fire-type moves. Starmie and Suicune can threaten Skarmory with a STAB Surf, and Starmie can even get a free turn to clear away Spikes with Rapid Spin. However, be aware that many of the counters mentioned above will be surprised by the occasional Toxic. Snorlax with Fire Blast can surprise Skarmory with a 2HKO, while Lovely Kiss versions can cripple Skarmory and then proceed to use Belly Drum to rip through the rest of the team.

The NASCAR Hall of Fame will grow by five members bringing the total number of inductees to 20. It's a class that includes pioneers in racing, Herb Thomas, Cotton Owens, and Buck Baker, along with Rusty Wallace from the modern era.
Then there's Patrick County native Leonard Wood who along with brother Glen, did more to revolutionize the sport of NASCAR racing than perhaps anyone in motorsports history.
Leonard Wood made a living out of trying to make racecars go faster. But he was so much more than an outstanding mechanic. Wood perfected the modern day pit stop, shaving seconds and beating opponents on pit road by using air guns to get lug nuts off of tires, and lighter jacks that would lift the car with fewer pumps.
"You think you've gone as far as you can go and you just go at it and keep practicing a little bit and pretty soon you come up and knock another second off so to watch those guys go out there today and change the tires in twelve to fourteen seconds, this is unheard of," Leonard Wood said.
Wood was elected to the Hall just one year after older brother Glen got the call.
"It's very special to go in right behind him," Leonard Wood said. "You know we won the race at Daytona 50 years ago in the '63 car that we restored. The race fifty years ago has been forgotten and not talked about but now it's brought it back to life again and it's just like we're back in the winners circle and it's very rewarding to relive the past.
Len Wood: That's the biggest honor we can have for our family is to get in the NASCAR Hall of Fame. To have two in as quickly as we did, we're really proud of that. We've got a '63 galaxy that Leonard has been working on. It was a street car that we put roll bars in and painted it just like 1963 and that will be his exhibit car, and I think the fans that come out and see it will be really pleased."
That car will be unveiled at Saturday morning's official enshrinement ceremony. The Woods are expected to have about 200 friends and family members here from Stuart for Friday night's induction.

Love the manicured indoor gardens and light bright casino area at this beautiful resort. Pool area is huge and fun, and we had one of the best dancing nights ever at Tryst nightclub. Buffet is gorgeous--go for lunch, it's more than worth $25.
A newer hotel and I always feel like it's trying to rip off the superior Bellagio. Still it's worth a visit when walking the strip. Grab a cocktail too at the lantern cafe.
I loved staying at the Wynn. The hotel is very comfortable and seemingly not as trashy feeling as some hotels and casinos in Vegas. The decor is nice and not cheesy and the restaurants and cafes in the hotel are delicious (overpriced in my opinion, but it's Vegas...) I love their Parasol bar and the little show that comes on every so often outside in the lake. It's a little trippy, but kind of neat too.
Love – I love this hotel Wynn Las Vegas. The ambiance is great and the room is always clean. The service is great.
awful experience – this las vegas hotel is beautiful but every thing is set up to cheat the customers and to extract as much money from them as possible. I paid over $300 per night and when I went to use the gym, they asked me that I had to pay extra!
Incredible Service – Our service was great and the waiter was adorable. Ambiance was romantic and definitely recommended. For the music,,,I would recommend jazz or house and the people were cool. Portions were good.
Okay, great looking hotel. Not the wife and I's first time there. A couple of things have changed... First of all at least one of our nights there we usually eat at the buffet for the king crab. Now you get snow crab... NOT the same. We have been to the resort a couple of times now and we thought that we found great place. Thursday night july 7th we hit the sack about 11pm. we could hear a slight thumping from music. The sleep timer on the TV went off about midnight we quickly realized the beach club music thumping our bed... Mind you the beach club is by the encore and we were in the wynn. ABOUT 4:30am the thumping stopped when the beach club shut down..... We thought we found a great place to stay.
Going Here Soon – This is going to be a great time!
Best club in Vegas! – Blush is my favorite nightclub to go to in Vegas because of the classy enviornment. The staff is so friendly and always makes sure you're taken care of. The music always keeps me dancing, and the layout of the club is perfect to enjoy a good time with friends.
Second Only t Second Only To Four Seasons – Wynn Las Vegas is excellent from top to bottom. The rooms are spacious and very well appointed. The property is very easy to navigate,and guest services are excellent as well. Wynn has a dazzling array of restaurants, although some may find too few affordable dining options.I'm making my second visit in three months in February
As fake as the people impressed by it... – Creating a lot of hype telling everyone how luxurious and great something is, doesn't
make it so. Being expensive doesn't mean its class, nor in good taste. The place
simply tries too hard and thus ends up being gaudy. It tends to attract the wannabe
posers who actually think that luxury and class = $$$$. What some fail to comprehend
is that social and economic class are 2 very different things, a pimp in a
gaudy suit and big car may be rich and project wealth, but definitely not class.

The Twin XL Platform Storage Bed has a modern style and sturdy construction. Underbed drawers provide ample bedroom storage for clothes, sheets, linens and more!
