Jett hyper skills?
MapleStory Forums : Jett : Talk about the Jett Class
Nov 28 12MapleStory Screen: Ranger MapleStory Video: Unlimited: Cygnus Returns
Hi guys,
i am really excited for jett hyper skills (if we get them, lmao).
What are your thoughts on it?
New thread Replies
Nov 28 12MapleStory Screen: 999 Combo cap
Since it is an exclusive class, it will probably also be a reskin of Corsair/Buccs, or even the same exact thing if they don't feel like reskinning it.
Nov 28 12MapleStory Screen: Ranger MapleStory Video: Unlimited: Cygnus Returns
Guorui123: jett is gms exclusive O_O so.. i dont think it has one.
or maybe its the same as the corsair one
I think they will get some, but i indeed thinkt its a rip-off of sair/bucc skills, lol
i hope nexon will make something cool... but i dont think so
Nov 28 12MapleStory Screen: Jett Cosmic Upheaval uses
i think jetts should really get a rapid fire split. their lack of a final attack like skill really lowers their DPS, not to mention their lack of mastery.
this way, corsairs won't be absolutely better than jetts in terms of D/S
Nov 28 12*
Probably copy from sair since the active skills for buccaneers is energy base which Jett doesn't have and the passive buffs can easily just go from sair to jett with the buff to rapid fire, sub/easton, solar array/blunder.
simaini: if Jett copies sair hyper skills, Jett will have amazing survivability for a range job. Seems fair to me, Sair gets the offensive, Jett gets the defensive.
Nov 28 12
we wait for cms to get hyper skills
and then we reskin maybe
1Nov 28 12
maybe just get corsairs/buccs and give it a technological feel.
Nov 28 12
Either reskin of corsair hyper or stolen boss animation with something in front (like buccaneers).
Nov 28 12MapleStory Screen: Ranger MapleStory Video: Unlimited: Cygnus Returns
ResisTheWild: maybe just get corsairs/buccs and give it a technological feel.
Yeah haha, i think the same too
1Nov 28 12
If Jett gets Sair Hyper Skills, then they'd BETTER be reskinned and NOT have the same exact animation. (If it is reskinned, it will surely be the most awesome skill animation ever! Note: not the most realistic or detailed, just the coolest) One thing I find unfair about Jett is that in 4th job, he ONLY has 4th job Sair skills, but doesn't have all of them, and the 2 he is missing are the primary dps skills other than the actual bossing attack. In other words, he is missing 2 of the 3 most important sair skills, but have NO replacement skills from Buccaneers (or, as in the case of glide blast, some random class that is unrelated to the main ripped off classes. [The animation and name of Glide Blast are ripped off from a Mercedes skill, but the mechanics of the skill are ripped off from something else, or is the only original Jett skill])

You may not like the input method (and I'd agree the virtual keyboard isn't perfect, although with practice it's not bad at all), but the pointing aspect of the GUI is so much better than either mouse or trackpad. For most users, that's very important. My wife, since I bought a tablet, hasn't even looked at the old laptop. She's not interested. Everything she needs a computer to be, the tablet is.
Also - IMO, most failures of the tablet to interface properly with the web site in question is down to compatibility testing not being up to speed with iOS, Gingerbread, etc...
Apple MacBook Air 13in Core i5 laptop
Got mine yesterday...
Wasn't going to get an Air - was going to get a MBP, but then I realised with a NAS doing all the heavy duty storage, this was a better bet. It's a stunning bit of kit (it's for my business, so the gaming not being great isn't an issue for me), and does everything I want it to plus more. Big advantage for me is the shut down and start up time. Don't think I'll ever use sleep on this - on my PC I never use anything else...
It isn't cheap, obviously, but it should be reliable, and there's an Apple Store just down the road if I need em. Personally I love the keyboard, so easy to use. And I think the onboard storage is becoming less of an issue as we move to domestic NAS and Cloud solutions, but if it's an issue, that's what the MBP is for.
Electric cars not as 'green' as advertised
Sure about that?
Clearly if EV's become widely used (big 'if', IMO) we would need to up capacity. I don't think the Energy Co's are vastly over producing at the moment, are they?
Dell Venue Pro WinPho 7 smartphone
Hap'orth of tar?
I'm a long time smartphone user (starting back with the Motorola A780). Had WinMo when it was the only game in town, and now using iOS. The one thing that would really tempt me away from iOS now would be big storage. My 16gb iPhone doesn't have enough for European Maps, some vids, lots of apps and lots of music, and I don't want to keep moving stuff about via iTunes... So why have they limited this to 8gb? Or are my requirements THAT unusual?
LG tunes in to YouTube for 3D phone videos
Will be interested to see the results of this, as the owner of a Finepix 3d camera. Those lenses look mighty close together to get good stereoscopic pics...
Roberts Stream 63i
Nice kit...
But, and I know I'm going to get some abuse for this, AirPlay would seem to be a big miss on this. It's certainly a deal breaker for me...
Mum arrested for seducing teen on Xbox Live
Incorrect. You cannot consent as a minor. Even if he wrote down, drew pictures of what was going to happen and recorded a video saying 'woo hoo - MILF love for me tonight boys', it's still statutary rape.
So, you know, wrong and that.
Garmin tells iPhone users where to go
I don't understand this sort of thing. I guess it's along the lines of "I only use my phone to make calls - what's the point in all the other stuff". I'm quite old, and I learnt to drive using maps and local knowledge. I can get within a few miles of anywhere in the UK with general knowledge, I reckon. However, it's extremely useful to have nav for the last bit, if I'm going somewhere I don't know. That alone is worth the £20 for CoPilot. Add to that speed camera warnings and the ability to find good short cuts when in traffic, and I'm afraid that NOT having one starts to look foolish, not the other way round...
This year's DSLR stars
Although with proper movies (Monsters) being shot on DSLRs now, the video aspect is a serious one. Admittedly, the amateur videoer just needs a £200 camcorder, but after 20 years of not quite being able to get the shots I want, it's SO nice to be able to use proper glass and pull focus like a pro!
It's still niche, but I hope that this will open up film making in the way that digital multi track recording opened up music..
Apple 'iPad 2' shipping in three months
Er... No
SD card reader on the camera kit works just fine thanks. As does the USB when connected to my iPhone (that's all I use that one for). Might want to get the facts straight...
Three pledges cut-price iPads for Crimble
Never never...
Let's call it what it is: this is a way for people that can't afford an iPad to get an iPad on what we used to call hire purchase.. Pound to a penny half of them sold this way will make use of all that lovely mobile data no more than a couple of times a month, if that.
Philips Fidelio DS8550 wireless iPad speaker
Not been mentioned as far as I've seen, but iOS4 works MUCH better with Bluetooth, and holds the connections. Under 3.x it dropped them a lot when idling - I upgraded on Tuesday and it hasn't dropped yet.
BTW, rather than upgrading and buying speakers, etc, you can just buy a BT adapter that will plug in the aux sockets on your existing stereo. Works a treat...
Toyota Auris hybrid e-car
Thing is...
Everyone (in the UK) that I know who drives a Prius would, in a previous era, have driven a 2CV. i know that image shouldn't matter, and that I'm very shallow, but when I see a Prius, my instinct is 'loser'. Auris is a poor poor car, but at least it's harder to spot.
Besides, until plugin hybrids are commonplace, these are just a weak option. Give me the Golf BlueMotion anyday (Auris priced ish), or the 320ed (Prius priced ish) if I have to care about MPG.
US may disable all in-car mobile phones
The point....
The point being made (and I'm not saying that I agree with it) is that you're not just taking some extra risk, you're exposing others to your extra risk. I ceed to no one your right to drive down a completely empty road doing whatever you want. Drinking, speeding, taking a call, cracking one out. Entirely your decision. However, that road doesn't exist, does it.
Samsung Galaxy Tab Android tablet
Not sure I see the gap...
I own a smartphone - which goes with me everywhere, and a tablet - which stays at home 90% of the time. Given that most people that are going to be interested in a £500 odd quid 'tablet' presumably have taken the smartphone plunge, I don't really see the point. I suppose if I contracted and was in a different hotel every week it might make sense, but all i see is a tablet that's smaller than mine, and a smartphone with camera et al that's too big to use as an every day phone. I'm not saying it's a bad device - it seems very good, just that I don't see the niche for it..
Time will tell, I suppose...
Samsung's Android tablet: split and eviscerated
And a cheap Archos is even better.
Rethinking the iPhone
my 2 year old can, and does, use my phone and iPad for games, videos and looking at photos. My mum, who can't use a normal mobile because she finds the endless menus confusing, can find her way round an iPhone and has an iPad. Of course you need to understand the basics, but they're so simple that a technophobe 62 yr old and a 2 year old can understand them. That's a good operating system.
Apple MacBook Air 13in late 2010
This should be fun...
I shall offer a prize to the first person to post that their laptop is 50 times faster and only cost 12 shillings and sixpence...
Apple's iPad lead will face pressure from Google and Nokia
Wow, thanks
We're so lucky to have you to tell us what to think. Thanks so much.
(presume you REALLY NEEDED TO BUY a Nexus 1, then. Couldn't have lived a minute longer without one)
iPhone alarm bug: now it's the UK's turn
Pleased for you...
That's great, but it's also the mistake that is always made when talking about this sort of thing. If you don't want a convergent device, that's great. Good for you. i do, though, and, for me, the iPhone is the best one (currently). Not a fanboy - had a Motorola A780 (early smartphone with GPS) and 2x HTC's running Windows mob before this, and loved them all (despite none being perfect). Android was in infancy when I bought my iPhone, so wasn't a real option. The latest HTC's are doing good things, so next time out will be a real decision again.
You don't want any of the features of a smartphone. Fine. I do, and I'm prepared to accept the odd OS bug that inevitably goes with it...
Call what you want...
But 3GS running v.4.1 was an hour late this morning. It just was. If you don't believe me, fine, but you're wrong. Fortunately I also have a Small Child (running v. 2.10) who is still on BST, so I was up and about anyway...
Vue denies cinema phone ban plan
There's some chav dodging to do, but I recommend Showcase at Bluewater.. No reception in there, and I've never had a film interrupted by morons..
Airphonic wireless 'Pod-to-speaker streamer arrives in UK
Nice, but
I'm already doing this to my old Sony stereo with a bluetooth dongle connected to the Aux in. 30 quid... Sound is compromised, but not badly (I'm not an audiophile), and the iPad/iPhone is immediately the best remote control for a stereo ever!

Police searching for man after drug raid in Dawn
Caroline County authorities are looking for a man who they said was distributing cocaine and marijuana.
Burton Donta Morris, 33, is wanted on the charges of possessing cocaine with the intent to distribute and possessing marijuana with the intent to distribute.
According to Sheriff Tony Lippa, a drug raid was conducted early Thursday morning at a home in the Dawn area of Caroline.
The raid was a result of a search warrant that was obtained from an undercover drug investigation conducted by Caroline narcotics investigators, Lippa said.
Investigators reported seizing cocaine, marijuana and a Ford Crown Victoria as a part of the investigation, Lippa said.
Morris is described as a black male with shoulder length braided hair, 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighing 280 pounds.
Anyone with information on his whereabouts is asked to call the Sheriff's Office at 804/633-5400 or the anonymous tip line at 804/633-1133.

Welcome. Peace and All Good, Pace e Bene!
The first post on this blog is updated below. Instead of changing the original post, it seemed better to leave things as they were. Here is the updated content, which adds more of the richness of meanings that are associated with this project.
Blessings, Joseph Randolph, 22 April, 2014, Feast of St. Soter, Pope and martyr (+ 175), St. Leonides, Martyr (+ 202), and St. Teodore of Sykeon.
'Vox Eremita' literally means, Voice of the Hermit. The deeper meaning arising within the Latin and Greek traditions point toward the Voice of the Desert. In a similar way, this site recalls these traditions, but more so, points toward and explores a form and way of life. We are students of this tradition. We will not attain this tradition during this lifetime, we will only walk this path and learn as we go.
Vox Eremita is a form and a way of life, is for today, comes from today, and nurtures an awareness of God and Life in the now.
The desert and the Vox Eremita is a place of self-emptying, of poverty in life and spirit. Only poverty finds the sure path to the desert, and to giving birth to God and new life in the world. This is a deeply ancient teaching, and is also profoundly Franciscan (arising from St Francis of Assisi's way of life during the 13th century).
The desert and the Vox Eremita recalls Jesus' gift of self to others, his outpouring of love and sacrifice of self for others, and his ultimate gift of self in his crucifixion and death of self for others. These are our models for Vox Eremita, for life in the desert, for life in the Spirit, for all of Christian life, and for those who are seeking an authentic and dynamic way of life that goes beyond the shallow dictates of many of our modern cultures. The underlying principles and teachings are for everyone, and anyone, who has a heart of respect and honour, and whose intellect is open to becoming well formed by the wealth and depth of western and eastern Christian mystical, ethical, and moral teachings.
The hermit is the person of the desert, who dwells in the desert, which is a meaning that is applied to any hermitage whether existing in a physical desert or not. The desert is a place that is uninhabited and empty. A natural place that is challenging to everyday life in society. A place that is viewed by most to be desolate.
Going still deeper into the early 14th century meanings, the place of silence and solitude, in the desert, is bereft, that is, deprived of conditions considered to be normal, where these things or relationships are take away. A person, or hermit, is seized, and robbed of these material and immaterial dimensions of life. The hermit exists within a primal simplicity, the desert prior to human habitation. Here we see the much more ancient desert traditions going back to the 3rd and 4th centuries, when women and men retired to the desert in search of authentic self-emptying and indwelling.
The Old French desert (12c.), is associated with, "desert, wilderness, wasteland; destruction, ruin." Late Latin desertum, means "thing abandoned," and "wilderness," and deserere, meaning "forsake." We are reminded of Jesus on the Cross, crying out in anguish, "And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, 'Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?' which means, 'My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?'" (Mk 15:34; cf. Mt 27:46). Jesus was of the desert, a forsaken place, and an inner and body-based experience of desolation, pain, suffering, and a literal outpouring of self through blood and water, all for the sake of gaining the love of you and I. All for the sake of love.
The Papal Audience of November 30, 1988, records the Holy Father, Saint John Paul II, as saying that this cry of Jesus "manifests Jesus' feelings of desolation and abandonment." The cry sounds from the deep of the desert, of desolation, and "expresses the depth and intensity of Jesus' suffering, his interior participation, his spirit of oblation, and perhaps also his prophetic-messianic understanding of his drama in the terms of a biblical psalm." That is, Psalm 22's opening lines,
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Why art thou so far from helping me, and from the words of my anguish?"
So astutely, and from the same link, the Holy Father says that,
"On the other hand in quoting the beginning of Psalm 22, which he perhaps continued to recite mentally during the passion, Jesus did not forget the conclusion which becomes a hymn of liberation and an announcement of salvation granted to all by God. The experience of abandonment is therefore a passing pain which gives way to personal liberation and universal salvation. In Jesus' afflicted soul this perspective certainly nourished hope, all the more so since he had always presented his death as a passage to the resurrection as his true glorification. From this thought his soul took strength and joy in the knowledge that at the very height of the drama of the cross, the hour of victory was at hand."
The word, 'Voice,' appears during the 16th century meaning, 'to utter, to express.' Only in the 1800s the word was applied to 'vocal cords,' however, in the 13th century, the word was applied to 'sounds' from the human mouth.
The Latin vox implies many aspects and is highly descriptive, "voice, sound, utterance, cry, call, speech, sentence, language, word." The Greek eipon, for "spoke, said," also relates to epos, meaning "word."
Eremita is Latin, and is the learned form of hermit. Learned meaning, "having knowledge gained by study." Hermitage is the "dwelling place of a hermit."
Eremita or hermit derives from the early 12th century, meaning, "religious recluse." Recluse means, a "person shut up from the world for purposes of religious meditation." In Italian, the concept of recluse includes carceri, meaning prison, cell. The place of the recluse. These concepts are commonly applied to voluntary religious seclusion.
From the old French arises the 'h' (h)eremite, leading to 'hermit.' The Greek eremites, literally means, "person of the desert," from eremia "desert, solitude," and from eremos "uninhabited, empty, desolate, bereft." 'Ere' means "to separate." The implied Latin connotation of the roots, rete and retis, means to catch in a net or seive, respectively (i.e. to separate one item or substance from another).
The late 18th century added a direct reference to a "person living in solitude". The early 18th century saw the word applied to the Hermit Crab, who has solitary habits. Since the mid 18th century, eremita and its forms (excepting hermit) were lost from everyday speech, except "in poetic or rhetorical use." However, even though the terms tend to be on the edges of society and desert, and still imply a sense of self-sacrifice through a simplicity and humility in lifestyle and values, today there is a revival of usage as people seek to understand the eremitical vocation and the deeper meanings that a solitary life affords.
During the course of events, as things unfold, I and with hope, others, will share much about the nature of Eremitical Life. But because this is only the first post besides the About post, written recently, instead of getting too detailed, allow me to share from the heart.
As a private vowed brother of Mary's least and smallest, my best kept secret during most of my life so far was that my deepest commitment is to Jesus and Mary of Nazareth. In the past, in the west and around the world, people often took private vows and lived their lives and sense of commitment to spiritual values. These approaches came through actions, works, jobs, and relationships. Private vows are just that, private.
The 'private' needs to be understood not so much in the modern sense of privacy, and private space, but of one's place within the social order. Imagine a world where all of society is Christian and the one Church, the Catholic Church, governs society. As much as people critique that world, the more one studies life under the rule of the Church, the more likelihood of a Christian ethic in society, and the more likelihood of pockets of compassion, kindness, and self-emptying behaviour, including, necessarily, by contrast to times when these qualities were least demonstrated. By comparison to the fragmented world of today, steeped in secular ideology and philosophy, where often violence and even worse, indifference to others is the norm rather than the exception, take your pick… I would choose a world guided by ethical and moral values that arise from deep cultural and spiritual foundations.
In the original western and eastern Christian social order, private then means not publicly recognised under Church authority and law. Recognition has two elements, as there are times when we can see an informal acknowledgement on the part of a bishop. Then there is a more formal process that is pubic, from the front of the Church, as it were, and that exists under Canon Law.
The Roman Catholic Church has undergone such vast change since Vatican II reforms, which happened during the mid and late 1960s. From the 70s on through the 90s, most religious communities of women and men have seen major decline and closure in countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Australia, and Europe. Under Pope John Paul II, we get the impression that the Church was realising and waking up to these vast changes, which were already quite clear during the 1960s.
I've been reading the documents of Vatican II recently, wanting to revisit the wealth and wonder of that event. At some stage I may share some insight from that reading, but suffice it to say, highly recommended for anyone interested in grasping some of the seminal and prophetic visions of the Fathers of the Council, not only for the Church, but also for the western world and globally.
More recent changes in the Church point toward what is called the 'new evangelisation' which, if I understand correctly, acknowledges that western countries are now mission territories. We no longer have the luxury to assume that cultures are Christian or Catholic. Indeed, societies have changed that much that they are now quite secular and atheistic. As a trend, we can see how these changes have happened over time. But that discussion is also for another post.
Today the Church needs young men and women, and people of all ages, to 'stand up and be counted' in living the life of the gospel. Privately is one thing, and is certainly a wonderful way to live these values. Taking things to the public level is also worthwhile considering.
To live in either form of life, and especially for a public acknowledgement of spiritual values, means that we need to carry on our bodies the Lord Jesus Christ, and him crucified, so that the light and wisdom of his suffering, death, and resurrection will be seen, witnessed to, and will touch the lives of people in visible ways. The inspiration behind this impulse within the Church moves people to make their vows to the Lord somehow public – even if only to witness to this sacred way of life in such a way as to talk about it, write on it, and share stories and insights around it. Then people will know, and can know, that there is a way of life that is deeply inspired by these values.
So Vox Eremita is probably the most appropriate, deepest, and most profound name I can imagine for this website at this time in western history and cultural development.
If you look around the web currently, you can find more voices from the authentic silence of contemplative life and prayer. You can find private and public hermits, some of whom live as formal vowed and consecrated diocesan hermits under Canon 603 of the Roman Catholic Sacred Law. You can even find Consecrated Virgins who have given public witness to their complete dedication to the Lord in prayer and service to their fellow human beings. There are many new and innovative communities that have emerged over the past couple decades, some of whom have web presence, while many remain still hidden from modern media.
At heart, the hermit represents the deepest yearnings and desires of the human person. The hermit speaks to the profound and simple nature of solitude, self-awareness, and letting go, or emptying of the self. What happens when we empty the self? Something might be there. Or something might be empty. We can only try, and wait, and see. Part of the mystery, and the danger, is that we do not know. And maybe we should not be allowed to know, I mean, ever. By living unknowing, we live in the very nature of question. We live the question.
By living the question, we wait in silence. In the liminal spaces between being and not being. We often imagine we hear an answer, like a small whisper. Some of us are quite deluded to think we have the answers, and then we teach and preach and wax and wane… endlessly… But God is not God, unless God is more.
So there is a deep irony in this Latin phrase, Vox Eremita. At once the 'voice' of the desert, of the wasteland, of the hinterland beyond the living places where people dwell, where life for anyone is hardly sustainable, this voice may well arise from illusion and projection, if not wholly from complete delusional thinking. And yet, the voice may also be of sight, touch, or smell, when the Spirit of Vital Life and Divine Wisdom breaks into our dull senses, and gives us something precious beyond reckoning. If we were to speak then, struck down by lightening. Nothing can compare with the wonder of God's voice. But damned be the person who believes they are speaking with God's voice.
And here is the rub… The voice of the hermit must surely be all of delightful madness and poetry. Like the songs of the Ancient Bards of Ireland. Like the mystical workings of the Ovate Masters, whose work it was to walk between the worlds of the Sacred Madness and the Human Sciences. Today we have within even the Roman Catholic Church a culture that seeks to welcome and invite people into the SACRED WORLD. And yet, still within reason. Still of practical mind. Always, Holy Mother Church wants to protect and care for people's overall balance and well being.
And the Church knows, I mean, really KNOWS, that the spiritual walk is extremely dangerous. As a counselling psychotherapist my work in the realms of spiritual health and pastoral guidance make me painfully aware of issues of mental health, and of illness, and how these play and dance their way into real life, and into spiritual life.
Within all of this the voice of the hermit can and does speak from a place of tested balance, where discomforting harmonics interplay with the crude daily and human contingencies of life in the polis. The marketplace is no place for flippant spirituality. We must respect the way that deep calls to deep, and opens up these passageways for people, breaking through the ego and the crusted, projected, and false self. Causing crisis for so many of us, a completely profound crisis of meaning.
We modern people don't know what to do when we awaken from decades of illusion, mistakes, and false living. When the Spirit of Life breaks into us, we are often crushed. We call this crisis a spiritual emergency. And it truly is for many. In those times, people need gentleness, but also firm and trustworthy caring. Crisis of spiritual emergence is a huge transition for people who have little experience in the realms of being.
The beauty of a once strong Catholic Church was that there was, in all likelihood, that you would meet someone wise and strong enough to carry you through such a crisis. The Church is set up so that people are around when you need them the most. But the Church today is weaker, because there are not as many people with spiritual maturity and depth, public people who will stand up and be counted among the elect, and who are part of the leadership in pastoral ministry.
This is not to say the Church is not still strong in so many ways. This is only to say that the Church always invites more of us to stand up and be counted. After all, the Church constantly asks us to live up to our Baptismal Promises, and she constantly prays for vocations, even when she may not know what to do with them when they arise. Every part of that emerging of new forms of life requires patience, listening, and discernment. This is also quite demanding on bishops whose trusted role for the People of God and for the world, is to discern the authenticity of new vocations and forms of sacred living. Today we want to explore with the Church new vocations and new expressions of living the gospel way of life of Jesus and Mary of Nazareth.
Therefore, we solitary hermits, other practitioners in the world, and we Christians who have let the Church be for many years, and who have stood by and watched the Church change these many years, and lived our lives silently, making our vows and good intentions part of our daily bread, we must now stand up and be counted. The Church needs us. Western societies need us. The community and the political arena need us. The Church has and continues to wake up, as well, and is far more active across the world.
Under Pope Francis the Church is seeing a new awakening, like a great and powerful Mother Bear rising from a long sleep of some forty years. She is powerful when she moves. The earth will tremble and feel her mighty energy of light and hope. She is very likely the only existing united and cohesive institution that carries forward a complete and integrative vision for ethical and moral living in the global community – at the very time that the world needs her the most.
We pray for Pope Francis, with heartfelt humility, asking God the Father for clarity and strength so that he can continue to transform the Church and the world through acts of mercy, charity, and loving kindness.

Government officials of Kyrgyzstan are preparing climate change adaptation measures
Koi-Tash, Kyrgyzstan (June 21, 2013) – On June 19-20 representatives of ministries and government agencies participated in the introductory workshop "Adaptation to Climate Change" – the first in a series of activities to build capacity of state and local government officials on climate change issues. The workshop was conducted for officers of ministries and state agencies who are directly concerned with adaption to climate change – agriculture, healthcare, energy industry, prevention of emergency situations, conservation of water, forest resources and biodiversity.
Participants learned about international and national experience in drafting adaptation policies to climate change as well as applied their knowledge and capacities in drafting sectorial adaptation measures to climate change. Later these specialists will join task forces on drafting plans for their sectors under the National Strategy of the Kyrgyz Republic on Adaptation to Climate Change.
Deputy Director of the State Agency on Environment Protection and Forestry Abdymital Chyngojoev noted in his opening speech: "The Government of Kyrgyzstan always underlines the importance of issues related to climate change: it approved the Coordination Committee on Climate Change chaired by Taiyrbek Sarpashev, Vice Prime Minister of the Kyrgyz Republic, drafted the Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change in assistance with UNDP, launched steps on sectorial adaptation efforts. Therefore such workshops for state bodies are becoming relevant and urgent. Education and training of ministries and agencies staff helps to create a national expert base that we can tap into for effective development and implementation of the state policy on climate change and avoid additional expenses for international experts".
Ainash Sharshenova, expert of the Kyrgyz Ministry of Healthcare shared her experience in working out Strategy on Adaptation to Climate Change in Healthcare. Currently the Ministry of Healthcare is the only state body that has already worked out its Healthcare Program on Adaption to Climate Change until 2015. The Program on Adaptation to Climate Change contains 11 priorities embracing not only adaptation measures in healthcare but also other related sectors including development of alternative energy sources. "We have already installed 15 pilot solar panels and small hydro power stations in rural medical stations located even in the most remote areas of our country. This was part of our programme on adaptation to climate change implemented with assistance of UNDP and GEF" says Ainash Sharshenova.
Inter-agency approach applied in workshop when staff members of different ministries of Agriculture, Energy, and Emergency Situations etc. worked closely with specialists from ministries of Foreign Affairs, Economy, and the State Agency for local Self-Government and National Statistics Committee generated considerable interest among participants.
"Government officials are new to issues on adaptation to climate change. This workshop helped us to understand the global scale of the issue. The information will create a solid ground when developing strategies particularly in the field of disaster risk management. It is essential to apply international experience and existing works on climate change that will help us to adapt to day-to-day realities", emphasized Meimanbek Tashpolotov, Head of the Department on monitoring and forecasting of emergency situations at the KR Ministry of Emergency Situations.
The workshop "Adaptation to Climate Change" was conducted by the State Agency on Environment Protection and Forestry under the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic and UNDP.
The workshop on climate resilient planning in Batken district will be the next activity as part of comprehensive programme on capacity building of civil servants and staff members of self-government bodies.

Child-Centered Preschool Curriculum
Child-Centered Curriculum means children take command of their own learning. Teachers are there to provide support and facilitate the child's learning but children determine the direction of their own learning following their natural curiosities, interests and passions.
Child-Centered Curriculum is hands-on, active learning
Children co-create their learning objectives and goals together with teachers. Because we capitalize on the children's interests and empower them to take an active role, we find children are emotionally invested in their own learning. When children are emotionally invested, they are willing to explore in-depth and are able to reach deeper levels of understanding. For children, child-centered curriculum just feels like fun! Our child-centered curriculum is actualized through an Emergent Curriculum model.
Click here for more details on Emergent Curriculum.
Horizontal versus Vertical Learning
At Nurturing Knowledge School, we are cognizant of providing both a wide breadth of experiences for children while at the same time being mindful to create a depth of learning over time. In this way, we are supporting opportunities for growth across all areas of development.

Book 3.5 in Immortal Guardian series preceded by Phantom Shadows and followed by Darkness Rises. This book contain 4 stories by 4 different authors. I was only interested in In Still Darkness by Dianne Duvall, a sexy story of Richart, the immortal guardian who is able to teleport and Jenna, a single mother of a college boy. I was looking forward to reading about Richart as he was talked about a lot in the previous books, but I was a little disappointed in this story. It was a bit boring and I was hoping for so much more because I really think Richart deserved the best.
Well, I will never read a novel by Alexandra Ivy. Pure drivel, and a bit painful to read. The other stories were ok, I've been reading Hannah Jayne, she is not bad.

Vice Chair Lynda Bell salutes the South Dade Senior High School "Buccaneers" football team on winning their first-ever State Championship!
Miami, FL Commission Vice Chair Lynda Bell and hundreds of south Miami-Dade residents came out on Saturday to celebrate South Dade Senior High School's Football team, the "Buccaneers," on their first State Championship in 60 years! The City of Homestead, local and community leaders as well as local organizations participated in a celebratory parade down Krome Avenue and later at a pep rally organized at Harris Field.
"As County Commissioner for District 8, Vice Chair of the Board and Chair of the Miami-Dade Sports Commission, it was with a great a deal of pride that I presented the South Dade Senior High School and their renowned "Buccaneers" High School Football Team with a County Commission Proclamation commemorating the Team's first State Championship in 60 years!," said Vice Chair Lynda Bell. "In addition, I was delighted to present the school with a $3,000 check to help pay for the player's championship rings. GO BUCS! NOW and FOREVER!!!"
"On behalf of South Dade Senior High, Principal Perez, Athletic Director Polizzano and myself, we would like to thank Commissioner Bell for her acknowledgment of the South Dade Football program and thank all the other supporters that were involved in this truly incredible day." - Nate Hudson, Jr., Head Coach, South Dade Senior High School Football Team.

Wealth Management
Good topic – I viewed because I am considering buying a Tesla. But I found it quite unhelpful…3 minutes worth of information in 30 minute segment.
1. Dan – you talk a lot…ask you question quickly and then let the experts opine
2. Too many uh and ahs…
3. Poor production quality..you guys are talking over each other
You call a Prius owner and a Volt owner EV owners? A Prius is a hybrid and a volt is a plug in hybrid. A Leaf and a Tesla are EV's. And Joseph, you should buy anTesla. It is the best car on the planet.
I've had a regular 2001 and 2005 Priuses (great cars!), and my 2012 Volt is very different.
Its a true EV for the first 40-45 miles, then it morphs into a hybrid.
If I drive less than 40-45 miles in a day (charging at night), I use No gas.
I call that an EV with a gas range extender.
Granted, a Tesla is a 100% electric dream car, but, I can't afford one yet.
My Volt lets me commute with No gas, now.
Do I have to create an account to see the video? No thanks.

- Our favorite!OpenTable Diner Since 2011Dined on 11/26/2014This was our third visit - brought visiting family this time. As with our prior two visits, the food was absolutle fantastic. At our table we ordered the red fish, the lamb, the pheasant and a couple orders of the pork porterhouse. Everyone loved their food. We will continue to recommend the restaurant to our friends and to visit whenever we can. It will be even better once they have the opportunity to install the wine bar. Can't wait! Special thank you to Scott, who provided friendly, attentive, excellent service!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Best Restaurant EverOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/25/2014I can't speak highly enough of our experience here. Everything was perfect from the food to the service. We loved it so much, we went back the next afternoon for lunch.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary CelebrationMrshDined on 11/22/2014We could not have asked for a more perfect experience to celebrate our 30th anniversary than the one provided by Ellerbe Fine Foods. Our server, Brie, was outgoing, fun and attentive, providing great suggestions to make our dinner the best it could be. She recommended an andouille sausage appetizer that wasn't on the menu and it was divine. Richard, the general manager and wine connoisseur, suggested two wines for our table of 4 that were not on the list, and they were both perfect accompaniments to our meals of steak or venison. Finishing our meal with an amazing butternut squash cake, we left very satisfied and ready to return soon to try the pork porterhouse that had sold out with a few more wines that Richard can recommend. Chef Molly McCook knows how to bring grandmother's favorite dishes to the table using fresh, local market offerings. You will feel like you are home. Enjoy!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 11/21/2014Such a freshness and novelty of combined flavors in the food here! Service was knowledgeable and attentive. The wine list is excellent. A must for dining in Fort Worth!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- food is not up to standardssmittyDined on 11/15/2014Second visit. We enjoyed the menu and service. However, the food product was not so great. The pork chop porterhouse was too tough to eat and the lamb was too greasy. The salad was excellent and dessert superb. Pretty pricy for fair food.Special Features:
- LOVELYOpenTable Diner Since 2010Dined on 11/15/2014lovely food, ambience, service, and wine! The waiter was attentive, knowledgeable of both food and wine menus. the restaurant has a positive atmosphere and quiet enough to have a conversation. great evening!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Casual and unique...AnniversaryCelebratorsVIPDined on 11/13/2014I'm often looking for restaurants to meet someone for a business discussion. I needed something in the south Fort Worth area and found Ellerbe's through Open Table. Excellent choice -- good food, attentive service, casual ambiance and a noise level that made conversation easy. The menu was unique enough to make it a memorable experience, assisted by a waiter who with a great personality.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Business LunchJamesDined on 11/12/2014Ellerbe is my go-to for medical district lunch with friends for special occasion or to do business when a meal makes sense. The fare is light or heavy, depending on your choice, and the menu is uncomplicated without too many choices. Cost is not too high, and a good value given the extremely fresh ingredients - seems like just harvested.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- eagerbeaverDined on 11/11/2014Ellerbe Fine Foods always provides an excellent dining experience with frequent new items that are wonderful. Service is outstanding. It can be recommended without hesitation.Special Features:
- Love This PlacelovegreatfoodDined on 11/8/2014We went to Ellerbe's to celebrate my birthday - there were 4 of us. We all ordered different things, and all any of us could say was "wonderful". Our server was absolutely amazing-friendly, helpful, attentive. All servers were extremely efficient and personable. I personally had the Gulf Drum and it was delicious. I love the way Ellerbe's puts so many different flavors in each dish. When I think of a special occasion, I always think of Ellerbe's because I have never been disappointed. Oh, and by the way, the okra appetizer was still the best ever!!!Special Features:
- Worth it.BobbyDined on 11/7/2014The restaurant is an old gas station. It's now a beautiful place to dine for special occasions. The food is unusual and amazing. The butternut squash soup is especially good. The food, though a bit expensive, is totally worth it. Great experience!Special Features:

- Fresh done rightOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 11/1/2014First time at Ellerbes for my birthday dinner with family and we all loved it. Fresh farm-to-table food, prepared excellently and served with attention to detail.Special Features:
- My go to spotcowgirlDined on 10/29/2014Whenever there is a special occasion or even just for something yummy, Ellerbee's is my choice. All the menu choices are fresh and delicious. BTW, the bread pudding is the best on the planet!! And the wait staff is fab.Special Features:
- Foodie wannabeWishfulfoodieDined on 10/29/2014Very enjoyable lunch. The food was delicious. My only comment was that the Catfish Po 'Boy was on way too thick of bread. Impossible to eat!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- AnniversaryOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/28/2014I chose Ellerbe to take my wife for our anniversary. The food was exceptional and unique with a wonderful and knowledgeable waitstaff. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend for an out of the ordinary dinner.Special Features:
- Great food, yet loudeLOUDerbeDined on 10/25/2014Only complaint: very noisy - sound bounced off the walls. Had to almost shout to hear each other. Possibly because we were in center of room. Possibly because we are older diners.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 1234Dined on 10/24/2014Food was good, service amusing but the wine was overpriced.I would recommend this to a friend.
- Anniversary dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/22/2014The food was the best I've had in a long time. My husband actually said, "I don't want it to end." We are so glad we choose Ellerbe for our anniversary!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- artdocentdma1Dined on 10/18/2014Dinner at Ellerbe Fine Foods surpassed our expectations. Every detail was divine, and our service was impeccable. Can't wait for our next visit.Special Features:
- a once in a while treatOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 10/17/2014Ellerbe's fine foods was a place I had wanted to visit since driving by and seeing the inviting curtains that hung around the patio. They offered a time to sit, reminisce, and enjoy a delightful meal. All of their invitings were fulfilled. My wife and I enjoyed our time and our meal. We won't frquent often solely due to the price.Special Features:
- OpenTable Diner Since 2009VIPDined on 10/11/2014my favorite restaurant in the DFW area. Everything I've had here is really good.Special Features:
- DisappointingRip2014Dined on 10/9/2014I was interested to see how they brought the various local suppliers into their menu. Ordered an appetizer of their frog legs which were very good but had a oily cole slaw with pickled cucumbers and other veggies with it that somewhat ruined the crispiness of the frog legs. also order their "Porterhouse" steak which was more like a small, tough piece of poor quality beef that was covered with so many sauces that it lost itself in the flavor department. Another party ordered fish dish which was good but salty. Bread was forgettable as was the final dessert which was described as an elegant chocolate dish but it was more of a very small tasteless chocolate concoctment with a very minor bit of chocolate syrup.Special Features:
- ZinbobDined on 10/9/2014Another superb meal. This is by far our favorite restaurant in the DFW area.Special Features:
- Delicious food!straycatDined on 10/7/2014We enjoyed our dinners very much! Wine list is nice as well as the variety on the menu. All in all, a wonderful nite. We will be back!Special Features:
- Disappointedbister8Dined on 10/4/2014Unfortunately we were told that everything was very good at this restaurant. That was not our experience. I ordered the pork porterhouse and it was about the worst dish I've ever had. It still gives me nightmares! Poorly cooked with a rather unpleasant paprika sauce. Fatty and really awful. My husband ordered the rack of lamb medium, but most of it was rare and flavorless. We should have returned both dishes, but didn't. Husband also had the homemade chocolate ice cream which was sort of a pudding consistency and not good. The bright notes: excellent sweet potato soup and delicious bread pudding. Menu online can't be trusted. It showed halibut, which is what I really wanted, but it was not on the menu at the restaurant. Too bad.Special Features:
- candiOpenTable Diner Since 2007VIPDined on 10/3/2014Always great meal! Great wine and amazing deserts!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always awesomeJLIIDined on 9/26/2014We had another great lunch at Ellerbe. We can't wait to go back.Special Features:
- Farm to Table in FWlepeDined on 9/25/2014The menu was seasonal and all ingredients were purchased that morning at the local farmers market. Vegetarian options were available in all courses. Dessert was amazing!Special Features:
- A Special PlaceTexanVIPDined on 9/19/2014Ellerbe's is the place to go for truly "fresh daily" entrees that are prepared to perfection. The menu varies, but the quality and selection never disappoints with fish, pork, beef, and chicken options. The wine and specialty beer selection is adequate for most. Don't plan on cocktails, but do expect excellent service and the ability to visit and enjoy your dining experience without the drone and background noise found in most restaurants today. Again, our most recent visit was par excellence!Special Features:
- Great site for a celebrationWFPBdietDined on 9/19/2014Ashley, our server, was a gem. She was beyond helpful and accommodating. We took friends to celebrate their 50th anniversary, and we had many requests for our special needs. We follow a whole foods, plant based diet with no additional oil added, and we've been doing that for over four years. They had trouble...as do almost all chefs...understanding that we wanted no additional oil in our food. We cook glorious meals at home, and none of them start with, " sauté in olive oil." But retraining chefs is a huge undertaking. Check out Del Sroufe, the chef who wrote Better than Vegan. The produce was exceptionally fresh and delicious; too much oil in everything. The breads were not whole grain. My husband never compromises and leaves there hungrySpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- 4forksDined on 9/13/2014Ellerbe fine foods is a wonderful restaurant specializing in farm to table cuisine. Great presentation of food and wonderful atmosphere.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Elegant ExperienceJCTriRunnerDined on 9/11/2014I selected Ellerbe's for a quiet, elegant birthday dinner. It was a wonderful experience. With my reservation I mentioned the occasion was a birthday and they suggested a Birthday cake for the desert. It was a great idea and a welcome surprise. It was delivered with style. We enjoyed our evening.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- goodtoknowDined on 9/6/2014Food and service were outstanding. The temperature had been near 100 for days, so the restaurant was not prepared for the lower temperature brought on by a rain storm. Even though we were allowed to change tables, I never was really comfortable. However, excellent hot food and wine kept my mind off my chill. Will definitely return.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- RMKluvfoodwineDined on 9/6/2014We loved this place! From the little details like the napkins, simple flowers in a vase, serving dishes, etc. And then came the food...everything was creative and delicious. It was our first time there and we will definitely be back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Wonderful ExperienceOpenTable Diner Since 2012Dined on 9/6/2014we went for my birthday with a large group and had a fabulous time! The food was very good- especially the rabbit papardelle. The cheese board was a little lacking and only really enough for two people, but everything else was wonderful. excellent service, very great wine selection. I recommend again and again.Special Features:
- Fine DinningLove2FineDineDined on 9/6/2014I love the quaint atmosphere, the service was excellent and the food was very fresh and just delectable. They had a great wine selection. We were very pleased and will recommend it to our friends and family.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- finedineDined on 9/5/2014Every meal I have enjoyed at Ellerbes is exquisite. The menu is flavorful and ambitious and offers something for everyone. Fresh is the name of the game here and that makes all the difference. There is no restaurant in Fort Worth or Dallas that compares.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- ReviewIrvintxDined on 9/2/2014The squash soup was unremarkable. It lacked flavor. The frogs legs, ocra, rabbit and fish dishes were excellent. We did not have dessert.Special Features:
- JBuckDined on 8/28/2014My meal was unique, memorable and absolutely delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

At some point, Haley Ward might have to decide whether she wants to be a McMinn County soccer player or cross country runner. It's a decision nobody wants to make -- particularly Ward, considering the seasons she's having in both.

Unit of work design pattern does two important things first it maintains in-memory updates and second it sends these in-memory updates as one transaction to the database. So to achieve the above goals it goes through two steps:- It maintains lists of business objects in-memory which have been changed (inserted, updated or deleted) during a transaction. Once the transaction is completed, all these updates are sent as one BIG UNIT OF WORK to be persisted physically in database one GO.

Doctors have used computed tomography scans or better know as CT scans to screen smokers or former smokers for early traces of lung cancer, but a new study released this week suggests it doesn't save lives. In fact, it can be harmful.
"It's a big round machine and it's comfortable and it talks to you and its warm too. It keeps you warm because I'm cold natured," lung cancer survivor Mary Bond said, describing the first time she received radiology.
Last year, Mary went to the doctor when she had trouble breathing doing her daily activities.
"I knew something was wrong because i was getting short of breath," said Bond.
After testing, Mary's doctor diagnosed her with lung cancer.
One of the most common tests doctor's use to find the cancer is a CT scan. It's a special form of x-ray to give a closer look inside a patient's chest.
"As opposed to an x-ray, which is just a plain view, a CT scan can slice your lung into multiple slices, so you can examine the lung carefully, going through from the top to the bottom," said Jonathon Truwit,M.D, UVa Senior Associate Dean for Clinical Affairs.
A new study appearing in The Journal of the American Medical Association said the scans did lead to an increase in diagnosis and treatment, but that early detection did not increase survival.
"Yes you will still pick up cancers, three times more likely to pick up cancers. Also, that results in ten times more like to result in surgery," said Truwit.
Meaning, doctors rushing patients to surgery put them at risk for complications like infections and internal bleeding. Of the three thousand patients in the study, the report says not one extra life was saved.
But Mary is one survivor looking to the future.
"When you get 77 its time to sit down and take it easy and take it slow," she said.
This study contradicts one that was released last year by Cornell University. So, there is some debate over which one is accurate.
Just last year, over 160,000 people died from lung cancer.
