|template | talk | edit
The Fall of Silvermoon is the fifth mission in the Undead campaign Path of the Damned. It involves the final stand of the outnumbered High Elves under Sylvanas Windrunner against the overwhelming might of the Scourge led by Arthas. It would see the High Elves nearly annihilated, their kingdom and capital city in ruins, their greatest commander converted into undeath, and the fount of their magical powers defiled by Arthas to resurrect Kel'Thuzad.
- 1 Forest Troll
- 1 Forest Troll High Priest
- 2 Gnolls
- 2 Gnoll Overseers
- 2 Gnoll Wardens
- 1 Ogre Warrior
- 1 Ogre Mauler
- 1 Ogre Magi
- 2 Rock Golems
- 5 female unnamed High Elf (villager)s
Although the Elven ranger corps fought bravely against the relentless onslaught of Arthas' Scourge, the elves were unable to keep the Death Knight from seizing the Key of the Three Moons and pushing into the Inner Kingdom. Arthas wasted no time in fortifying his position to the southwest of the city. Sylvanas then set up her own base across the river from Arthas' right flank and began leading strikes against the Undead.
As the battle began outside the Undead base, word reached Arthas that Sylvanas was sending runners (by foot for some reason) to alert Silvermoon of the attack and summon reinforcements. Arthas however, had anticipated this and positioned Gargoyles along the roadways. The flying beasts quickly and easily slew every runner sent, keeping Silvermoon in the dark and ensuring that Sylvanas would receive no reinforcements.
After beating back several assaults by Sylvanas, Arthas advanced his forces to the bridge between his and Sylvanas' camps where fierce fighting ensued. After a brief yet bloody stalemate, the Scourge gained the upper hand. As the attacks began to wind down, Arthas and his forces charged into Sylvanas' camp, slaughtering all in their way. Sylvanas' warriors fought bravely to the last man, but were inevitably overwhelmed. As her base crumbled around her, Sylvanas was personally approached by Arthas. Before she could load her bow, the Death Knight cut her down. In sadistic retribution for resisting him so fiercely, Arthas transformed Sylvanas into a banshee, binding her to the Lich King's will.
With the Ranger Corps destroyed, nothing stood between the Scourge and Silvermoon. Arthas and his forces regrouped, reinforced and marched on the city's gates. As the Undead approached, Dragonhawk Riders plummeted down upon the Scourge and rained missiles upon them, inflicting heavy casualties. Yet even these elite warriors fell victim to Arthas' Crypt Fiends who ensnared them in webbing and forced them to the ground where they were easily destroyed by Scourge warriors. Entering the city itself, the Undead encountered fanatic last-ditch resistance from the elves. Yet despite their fury, they could not hold back the dead, who rolled over them like a wave of carnage. Even the powerful arcane constructs built to protect the Sunwell could not hold out for long against the horrid wave of Undead. As the final defenders were wiped out, Arthas placed Kel'thuzad's remains in the Sunwell, resurrecting him as a lich and fouling the well. Quel'Thalas had ceased to exist as a nation.
A few lucky elves managed to evade their undead pursuers and escape into the wilds. These hardy survivors would eventually band together under Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider and become the Blood Elves.
Do not try to "chip away" at Silvermoon with rushes. A single failed attack will cause a devastating counterattack on your base that you will almost certainly not be able to defend from. Don't let the Runner get there, either. Only go for the Sunwell if you are sure you will make it in one try.

The Lampadati Felon is a saloon/sedan appearing in Grand Theft Auto V.
The car features a front end based off a mix of the design of a second generation Saab 9-5 and Jaguar XFR. The car's side profile is inspired by Fifth generation Maserati Quattroporte.
The front bumper features three intakes, the central intake being the least tall of the three, occupying half the width of the front bumper. Either side of this intake, there are two taller, chrome-trimmed intakes, with upper edges that are parallel to the lower edge of the headlamp units. Above the central intake there is a large, chrome-trimmed main grille with a curved lower edge and straight top edge, with a manufacturer emblem inset. Beginning from half the grille height there are chrome-edged headlamp units with a curved lower edge and a flat top edge. These headlamp units feature two circular lamps closest to the center, and a turn indicator lamp, furthest on the outside. The car features a long bonnet/ hood with two levels of elevation. The first signified by the line from the corner of the grille to its respective corner of the windscreen. The second level of elevation is inset centrally on the first.
The sides are formed mainly from a range of smooth, elegant curves. The wheel arches are flared, creating a more muscular appearance. Behind the long front quarter area the main body is smooth, with the only extra formation being a tall, thin duct behind the front wheel arch. The greenhouse area features small body-coloured wing mirrors (mounted on the window area, near the base of the A-pillars, chrome-trimmed windows and door handles. The B-pillars are neither chrome-trimmed nor body coloured. The rear wheel arch features a more prominent bulge than the front. Above, a long, elegant C-pillar can be seen, clearly illustrating the luxurious element of the car's design. By default the car features eight-spoke wheels with split edges connecting the spokes to the lip of the wheel. The wheels are wrapped in low-profile tyres.
The rear of the car draws on more XFR design elements and features rear lamp units that are dominantly red, which partly have the horizontal chrome trim inset. The horizontal trim also forms the top edge for the impressed license plate area. Beneath these there is a rear bumper that protrudes from the main body in two levels, with the lower half having more elevation. The base of the bumper features a polymer covered area which spans the entire width and housing two twin-tipped exhaust tips at either edge.
The car accelerates very well from a standstill, with very little wheelspin. The top speed that can be reached with the car is also very good, being among the fastest four-door cars available.
The car features a front-engine, rear wheel drive drivetrain, which gives the car lively handling. The car is very responsive with cornering, even at high speeds, though care must be taken to control the car's rear end when traction is lost. The Felon features large, cross-drilled brake discs.

The U.S. Chemical Safety Board on Tuesday announced its findings after a year of investigating the blast in West, Texas, that killed 15 people, injured 200 and damaged much of the tiny town.
Board chairman Rafael Moure-Eraso says that agencies at all levels must do more to monitor facilities that store ammonium nitrate, the chemical that detonated.
The board's investigation did not uncover significant new details about what happened in West, but reiterated the need for more regulation.
Multiple other investigations have yielded no cause of the fire that preceded the blast.

The Petrovic Bratva is a gang featured in Grand Theft Auto IV.
The Petrovic Bratva is a Russian organized crime family based in Broker and Dukes. The Family is led by Pakhan Kenny Petrovic. It is mentioned on the LCPD database that Kenny Petrovic is the most powerful Russian kingpin in Liberty City, and possibly America.
The main source of income for Petrovic is illegitimate chop shops and car smuggling. Kenny despises the upcoming gangsters who import foreign cars without the permission of the big time leaders of the family and states that his first source of income was shipping cars, although he asked permission from his elders. The family also extort businesses and deal drugs, including marijuana, which was mainly sold by Lenny Petrovic, Kenny's son. They also sell marijuana, ecstasy, meth and buy coke, but their meth labs were destroyed by the Angels of Death.
The Petrovic and Faustin Family have a peace until Mikhail Faustin orders the execution of Petrovic's son, Lenny. And Faustin orders Niko to blast Kenny's depot. Kenny Petrovic then orders the deaths of Faustin's administration, including Dimitri Rascalov, Niko Bellic, and Mikhail himself. Dimitri strikes a deal with Petrovic that places blame solely on Mikhail, which would have Niko assassinate Mikhail and have Dimitri replace him as Pakhan. Mikhail is killed, turning over Bratski Krug power to the Petrovics.
They wear cheap jackets and tracksuits, as opposed to the Faustin Family, which wears classy suits and sportcoats.

May 6, 2016
WASHINGTON (AP) - Some parents are scratching their heads over less restrictive head lice policies that allow children with live bugs in their hair to return to the classroom.
Some school nurses are no longer sending home "lice notes" to parents of other children in the classroom. The policy shift is designed to help keep children from missing class, shield children with lice from embarrassment and protect their privacy.
Deborah Pontius, the school nurse for the Pershing County School District in Lovelock, Nev., says lice are not dangerous or infectious, and they're easy to treat.
She says that by the time a child is sent to the nurse, classmates already would have been exposed and there's little additional risk. Once home, the parent would treat the child.

Rub Out
this wiki
- "Say goodnight, Mr. Diaz!"
- ― Lance Vance's last words to Ricardo Diaz.
Rub Out is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City that protagonist Tommy Vercetti does independently in Diaz Mansion in Starfish Island, Vice City. In this mission Tommy and Lance infiltrate Diaz's mansion to kill him to avenge Victor Vance's death and take over his business.
After Lance Vance attempted to kill Ricardo Diaz, Tommy and Lance need to kill him before he can attack them. They meet on the bridge to Starfish Island, with Lance providing Tommy with an M4 Carbine. They enter Diaz's Mansion and manage to shoot their way through the mansions gardens. They enter the mansion through the back door, next to an indoor pool, and shoot their way through the hallways. They eventually reach the main hall where Diaz is waiting, having spotted them entering his property through CCTV.
Diaz has eight guards as protection but they, along with Diaz himself, are killed. Diaz manages to crawl to the top of the stairs and claims to have trusted Tommy, before Tommy and Lance kill him.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Kill Diaz
See also
The reward for completing this mission is $50,000. The Vercetti Estate is acquired. The missions Love Juice, Shakedown, and Check Out At The Check In are unlocked.
- Ricardo Diaz - Killed by Tommy and Lance for ambushing the deal with the Vance Crime Family.
- Many of Diaz' goons - Killed by Tommy and Lance in order to get to Diaz.
- This mission and The Job are the only missions in the Grand Theft Auto series where the monetary reward is higher than that of the final mission. However, the reward can be somewhat seen as compensation for the previous mission "Death Row", which had no payout despite being one of the most difficult in the game.
- Strangely, Diaz holds his SMG with two hands, while the player holds an SMG with one hand.
- The mission is very similar to a scene in the cult classic film Scarface, which had a drug lord (Frank Lopez), who is similar to Diaz, gunned down by his former comrades after betraying them (Tony Montana, the protagonist and Manny Ribera, a close friend of Tony) in his headquarters, as his former comrades take over his crippled empire after his death.
- Lance's white Infernus is absent in the weapons cutscene, most likely because it does not have sufficient trunk space to transport the carbines. Instead, a blue Stallion is used.
- After the death of Diaz' Gang, they didn't exist in Vice City anymore. You can find them in the Vigilante missions and in Rampages, even though they were wiped out.
Post-mission phone call
Phone Call 1
- Mr. Black: Get to the payphone at the airport terminal.
Phone Call 2
- Kent Paul: Tommy son, have I got a surprise for you, I'm down at the recording studios with some major artists. Why don't you pay us a visit? You know it makes sense, dontcha? See ya later.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) -- Duke says former star Phil Henderson has died.
Coach Mike Krzyzewski said Monday that Henderson's mother told him that her son died Sunday at his home in the Philippines at the age of 44. No cause of death was given.
Henderson was a senior captain and the leading scorer on the 1989-90 Duke team that lost to UNLV in the national championship game. He averaged 18.5 points that year and scored 22.3 points in tournament play during that postseason.
Krzyzewski says the Duke basketball family was "deeply saddened" to hear of Henderson's death and called him "a talented player and a good man with a gentle soul."
Henderson was taken by the Dallas Mavericks in the second round of the 1990 NBA draft but played internationally as a pro.

We are all Olympic junkies at this home!! I love your flag blocks, and I must admit I loved seeing Mr. Bean. Thanks for sharing!!
Your flag blocks are great! I love London too. I would live there in a heartbeat! Happy Olympics watching!
These blocks are fabulous! I love the opening ceremony – cried in places. Feel very proud to be British. Oh and LOVE that last fabric must look out for it!
Amy,

You blocks are awesome! We are totally thrilled about the Olympics! It is so hard to get chores done when you are glued to the TV. Have a great day!

Linda F
these blocks are great…..we are waiting for some choice events to come on so we can catch a little olympic fever
Love your flags! The Olympics have me wanting to go back to London (its been almost 20 years since I've been), and I just bought the Victory Garden pattern which is a quilt made with a bunch of Union Jacks. The Dear Stella fabric is adorable – that's a must for the stash!
Love your flag blocks – and the previous flag quilt! I really enjoyed watching the Opening Ceremony – Wow! Would like to see it again! Hope and pray all goes well during the Games!
This is so awesome!! Now I want to do a quilt of nations!! Then every Olympics I could snuggle under it and watch it!!
If you ever feel the need for a quilt a long sign me up!!!
I love your flag blocks and that fabric is gorgeous! I'm enjoying the Olympics so far but am shattered from staying up to watch the opening ceremony ;o)
I'm a total Olympic nerd. I love every minute of it. I'm so happy that NBC is letting you watch all the events online LIVE (if you have a cable subscription 🙁 ) There are so many events that I miss every year because they just don't show them. 🙂
Love all the different flags, and that fabric is cute! I'm enjoying the whole multi-view option the BBC is running right now, pick your sport and you don't have to be interrupted by anything else :o)
Ack!!! I never thought your flag quilt could be any cuter, but it most definitely will be with the addition of MORE flags!! Can't wait to see what you do.
I know exactly what you mean…when hubby and I were watching NBC's little beginning clip starting at the headwaters of the Thames it went through OX and we were like STOP…the girl is there and we were just there last month! So cool!:)
I am watching as much as my work schedule will let me 🙂 Loved the Queen's entrance at last night's opening ceremony! I think when it's time for the Queen's funeral, among all of her other accomplishments, she will be noted for her humor and participation during the 2012 Olympics.
You know, I wanted to cross stitch blocks for my sister who moved a lot as a Navy wife, then put them into a quilt — but this is a fantastic idea for my brother in the State Department who has lived all over the place with his wife and kids. He's thinking of retiring after his next posting, which is a four year post so I could get a HUGE head start on this! You are a genius and I'm
We've been watching here too. The opening ceremonies were great!
These are so cute! Yay for Olympic fever. I'm going to re-post a few of these photos at Bring the Monkey and link to you, of course. thanks for sharing the fun!
Have you seen the London Medley of fat quarters over at Keepsake Quilting? I LOVE the fabrics. http://www.keepsakequilting.com/productdetail/6754.htm
I am an Olympic freak!!!!Go USA!!! Love your blocks! 🙂
Those are soooo great!! Have you seen Nanette's(Fredas Hive) London quilt in progress? It is terrific – cant wait to see the finished quilt!
Olympic junkie here too! I really don't know how much blogging is going to be done for me in the next two weeks.
Yeah, I'm Australian!

Aussie Aussie Aussie! Oi oi oi!

:-)
Love your blocks! Love the Olympics!
Oh yes I am an Olympic junkie! I am from England so am really loving seeing all the sights on tv! Love your flag blocks, there's just something about red, white and blue 🙂
Like the flag blocks, and I like the Olympics. We've been kinda busy with family the last few days so haven't seen as much of the Olympics as I would like, but still a fan, Family is important too!
These flag blocks are wonderful! I am from slc, too, though now live in Ohio. I lived there for the Olympics and know what you mean by the magic. I wish we were in London no. Someday. I cannot wait to see what you do with your flags.
Ha! I just bought some of that Dear Stella fabric over the weekend. I didn't get the umbrellas though and I'm regretting it. They had it in oilcloth too — it was killing me. I'd LOVE to make a rain slicker out of that fabric — tooooo cute!!!!
If you're going to indulge the Scottish with both their national flag and the Union Flag, you need to do the England and Wales ones too… :P

Yeah total Olympics nerd here too. I have watched pretty much all of the fencing, archery and shooting so far.
I love that you did a block for the Saltire! I want to do a whole quilt of Saltires someday, much like the Union Jack quilts that are popping up around bloglad ….
Simply fabulous! We have been watching here when we aren't at baseball games.
Smiles~Beth
What more could we want? The Doctor! Watching the Olympics 24/7 here. A friend at church is the mom of the coach of the US diving team. She's heading to London soon, lucky her.
I love London, and the Olympics… And thoroughly enjoyed this post!
I just love your Union Jack blocks. And that fabric with the red umbrellas–sigh–the best!
Love your blocks Amy!! :0)
We too have really enjoyed watching
the Olympics. :0)
I just used the Dear Stella fabric to make a British "flag" (the Union Jack is intimidating!) and a Uruguay flag for my family 🙂 Glad I'm not alone in jumping on the Olympic flag making! Go GB!
Oh, I am so sleep deprived from watching the Olympics this week! Love your flag blocks & the flag quilt showcased on Generation Q Magazine today.
I laughed so hard at Mr. Bean playing with the Symphony & running with the 'guys' of Chariots of Fire!! And I was so happy to see that Voldemort was vanquished by the Mary Poppinses!
Your flag blocks are fab! I love the Scottish one for Andy Murray…Mr. Gold!

Watermelon Park, just minutes from L'Auberge Provencale is believed to be the home of the very first bluegrass festival in the country. Many famous country and bluegrass artists have played this family friendly venue over the years, including the Carter Family, Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Merle Haggard and the Osborne Brothers. The festival started in 1960 and is an annual event. This three day music festival starts on Thursday the 26th – through- Saturday the 28th, 2013.
The headliners for this year's Watermelon Park Fest are Del McCoury, Bobby Osborne, J.D. Crowe, Bobby Hicks and Jerry McCoury. Also, featured are Furnace Mountain (one of our local favorites), Natural Bridge, the Quebe Sisters, the Green Boys, and the South Carolina Broadcasters, just to name a few. Bands play throughout the day and evening at the park. L'Auberge Provencale will be happy to pack you a picnic for the day as the door open at 9:00 am. You can spend the day tubing or kayaking the Shenandoah River, return to Watermelon Park for a picnic, and enjoy the bands.

Tarime Teachers College in Mara region is facing a number of challenges, including poor infrastructure, prompting college principal Nicholaus Magige to request the government to provide funds to rehabilitate it.
Magige made the remarks at the college's 20th graduation ceremony.
He said the college inherited structures that belonged to then Tarime Middle School which was constructed in 1938, saying the structures were now in poor condition due to old age.
"The college is facing numerous challenges; however, the poor condition of its infrastructures is the biggest," he said.
For his part, Musoma Rural Member of Parliament Nimrod Mkono, who graced the occasion, called on the stakeholders in the district to support in deed and kind to ensure the college is transformed and modernised.
"I call upon all those coming from Tarime and other stakeholders to contribute towards improving conditions at the college. We should not depend everything on the government," he said.
Mkono donated 2m/- in cash and pledged to donate 200 bags of cement and 200 iron sheets so that rehabilitation work could start immediately.
The acting principal of a teachers training college of Migori in Kenya, John Oucho, challenged the graduating teachers not to be satisfied with the level of education they have attained but should strive further.
At the same time the CCM district chairman pledged to contribute 20 bags of cement, while the NBC Bank Tarime branch manager pledged to contribute 30 bags of cement.
In another development, Mkono promised that he would work with stakeholders to ensure that the college gets a modern library which would be equipmed with modern means of communication, including internet connection, computers, as well as constructing modern playgrounds and providing it with sports gear and equipment.
Mkono said that Tarime district would be built by people coming from there, so he called on the college board chairman to convene a fundraiser to improve the situation at the college.
A total of 355 fresh teachers graduated at the event, 165 of whom were females. The college has a population of 745 students.

No one is more of a true hero than Christopher Reeve.
One man, who for the last decade of his life was a ventilator-dependent quadriplegic, led an international movement to help those living with paralysis. He epitomized the words "nothing is impossible."
On May 27, 1995, Christopher Reeve was paralyzed from a spinal cord injury so severe that his first lucid thought was that possibly it would be better for everybody else if he were to die. Not only did Christopher choose to live, he chose to fight. "I felt I needed to do something," he said, "not just for myself, but for everyone else in the same condition."
Soon after returning home, he delved into ways he could use his name, his celebrity and his voice to urge the scientific world to work faster and harder; to help the patient community be heard and improve their quality of life; and to impact legislators to increase federal funding for spinal cord injury research.
As a result of his courage, determination, international renown, and his conviction that 'nothing is impossible,' Christopher made tremendous gains for the disabled community. Through his leadership, the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation grew exponentially, re-shaping the world of spinal repair research.
He fought to increase research funding and attention at a federal level by appearing in front of Congress as a patient advocate. Dana Reeve established the Quality of Life Grants Program to aid organizations working to enhance the quality of life for those living through the day-to-day challenges of disability. In order to address individual quality of life needs, Christopher and Dana co-founded the Reeve Foundation Paralysis Resource Center.
Christopher and Dana were never celebrity figureheads. They were hands-on, activist leaders, who rallied a swelling chorus of voices advocating for people living with paralysis. They recognized that the true heroes in the spinal cord injured community are those living with paralysis and their families.
These achievements represent efforts to move the Reeve Foundation mission forward -- to advance the care and discover cures for paralysis.

More snowfall means more visitors to resorts
By most accounts, the ski season was a dramatic success a year ago for Lake Tahoe and other California resorts.
According to statistics compiled by the California Travel & Tourism Commission, skier visits numbered 7.5 million in the golden state, an increase from 6.7 million in 2008-09.
So what?s behind the major uptick in visits? It?s simple ? snow.
There was lots of it last year, starting early, which is why Boreal Mountain Resort was greeting skiers and snowboarders amazingly on Oct. 9, the earliest opening in resort history. The season didn?t conclude until several resorts threw a going-away party Memorial Day weekend.
Sophisticated snowmaking equipment is one reason for the rise in visitors, and timely storms like those the Lake Tahoe region has received recently also play a crucial role. Those two factors contributed to Lake Tahoe?s 17-percent growth in visitation numbers last season, four times more than the national level.
So what?s in store for the 2010-11 season? As usual, it?s hard to say, since Mother Nature annually wears its best poker face this time of year and doesn?t like tipping its hand in regard to the fickle entity known as weather.
But below are some interesting items for the Lake Tahoe region at the opening of ski season:
Hello heli tours ? Heli-skiing returns to Lake Tahoe after a nearly 40-year absence. Pacific Crest expects to start offering heli tours Dec. 15 and will fly out of the Truckee airport.
Pacific Crest will access more than 100,000 acres of remote ski terrain along the sierra crest, located in close proximity to many ski resorts in the North Tahoe region. The experience includes steeps, tree runs, open bowls and slopes, and south facing corn runs.
Groups of four are required to fly. If a group is larger or smaller than four, Pacific Crest urges people to book early so they have the ability to form a group. The full-day rate is $899 per person.
For information, e-mail email@example.com or call (888) 792-9222.
Who?s No. 1? ? According to a recent report by Orbitz.com, Lake Tahoe resorts are rated No. 1 for people who want to travel to an early season ski destination.
The online travel company based its top 10 on snow seekers who were looking to book the best destinations before the peak ski season begins. Park City in Utah was ranked second, followed by Breckenridge in Colorado.
The rankings justify the large sums of money Tahoe resorts spend on snowmaking. It beats the old method in dry years of crossing one?s fingers and having a group of locals gather for a snow dance.
?Where there?s early snow, there?s early skiing, and that initial wave of enthusiasts will find powder as well as steep savings,? said Jeanenne Tornatore, senior travel editor of Orbitz.com.
Heavenly?s new mid-mountain lodge ? Families who enjoy staying close to the Adventure Park just off Heavenly?s gondola will like this bit of news. The near 15,000-square-foot Tamarack Lodge is slated for completion in February. The mid-mountain lodge will offer 500 indoor seats and 250 patio seats. The lodge features floor-to-ceiling glass windows, which makes for a wonderful observation area.
There?s no lack of things to do in this region of Heavenly. Besides the nearby Tamarack lift, the area offers ski biking, snowshoeing, sledding and a very cool tubing hill.
Zipping along at Kirkwood ? The popular resort off Highway 88 has launched a year-round Zipline. Kirkwood?s zip course at the top of Chair 7 connects eight segments and can reach 35 mph. The lines link treetop platforms, some sitting 125 feet above the ground.
The tours take up to 10 participants with two guides and lasts 2½ to three hours. Helmets and harnesses are provided in the tour cost, which is $125 per person. Children must weigh at least 85 pounds, and adults can?t exceed 270 pounds. Reservations are required.
?It?s Tahoe?s first canopy tour, where you?re up in the trees zipping from treetop to treetop,? said Wade Beane, a Kirkwood spokesperson.
Ski with Jonny Moseley ? The former Olympic gold-medal skier will be around Squaw during the holidays ? Dec. 22-30, excluding Christmas day ? and several other times during the season. It costs absolutely nothing to make a few turns with Moseley.
The tours start at 2 p.m. with typically 20-25 people and end several hours later with about half that number. An après ski gathering with Moseley takes place afterward at the Olympic House.
Alpine offers safety lifts for kids ? The North Tahoe resort will be the first in the U.S. to provide the latest technology in chairlift safety systems for children. The ?Magnestick? has been installed on the Subway and Meadow chairs, which have seat backs equipped with a magnet that holds a child wearing a Magnestick vest in a secure position for the duration of the lift ride.

About Under Armour
Under Armour is an American retailer of sporting apparel and accessories - the brainchild of 23 year old University of Maryland athlete Kevin Plank. The athlete was frustrated by having to change sweat-soaked clothes during his football workouts and decided to come up with a product that would keep him dry during all the strenuous activity.
Plank developed his product and began selling it out of the trunk of his car for the first year, making $17,000 in sales. A year later, in 1997, Plank landed his first major order, totally $100,000. In 1999, Plank was contracted by Warner Brothers to outfit characters in upcoming movies. By 2000, Under Armour was the official outfitter of the NFL – but the brand didn't even have a real store yet!
It wasn't until 2007 that Under Armour opened its very first brick and mortar store in Annapolis, Maryland. The website, however, had been online since the later 1990s. It may seem weird that Plank would choose a British spelling for an American company, but the reason for this is that the URL for Under Armor wasn't available at the time – so he opted for the British spelling Armour instead.
Today, Under Armour has many brick and mortar locations worldwide and is also available at more than 25,000 retailers. Under Armour has an employee base of just under 8,000 and an annual revenue approaching $2 billion. Their corporate headquarters is located in Baltimore, Maryland – with their products being manufactured in Asia, Central and South America and Mexico. Some of Under Armour's specialty or custom products are produced in an on-site facility located in Glen Burnie, Maryland. The brand is available at a wide range of sports and apparel retailers. To find an Under Armour dealer near you, see the UnderArmour Store Locator. For more information about Under Armour, see Who Owns UnderArmour?
Under Armour Products
Under Armour is made from a moisture-wicking synthetic material. How Under Armour works is that the special material pulls sweat away from the body to keep you cool and dry while wearing. If you're wondering which Under Armour keeps you warm or which Under Armour keeps you the warmest, the answer is the ColdGear products. They come in both men's and women's sizes and designs and they can be found wherever Under Armour is sold. Under Armour sizes are roughly the same as most other American brands of clothing. For example, a youth small Under Armour size is equal to a youth size 8 (boys and girls) in American Standard sizes while a youth medium Under Armour size is equal to a youth size 10 (boys and girls) in American Standard sizes.
Ways to Save at under Armour
Under Armour offers free shipping on orders over $49 – no coupon needed. They also offer free 2 day shipping on orders over $149 as well.

Zero Hour! The Destruction of the Hidden Leaf Village Begins! (『木ノ葉崩し』始動!, "Konoha Kuzushi" Shidō!) is episode 68 of the original Naruto anime.
With the invasion's start, Orochimaru takes the Third Hokage hostage as the Sound Four create a barrier to allow them to fight without interruption. One of the ANBU chasing after them touches the barrier and dies. Meanwhile, Sunagakure shinobi summon the snake and it breaks through the wall. Then invading Otogakure and Suna ninja infiltrate Konoha, and battles begin breaking out across the village. Kankurō and Temari carry Gaara from the village so that he can recover. Sasuke pursues them, eager to finish their battle. Preoccupied with fending off the invading forces, Kakashi instructs Sakura, who had managed to repel the sleeping-inducing genjutsu, to wake Naruto and Shikamaru. He tells her that they are getting a mission after a long time and includes that they will be getting a fourth member on the team. Sakura wonders who this member is, as Kakashi performs the Summoning Technique hand seals. A cloud of smoke appears and then a dog named Pakkun pops out. Sakura is shocked to see that their fourth member is a dog but Kakashi says that he can track down Sasuke. Meanwhile, Might Guy, Aoba and another jōnin battle the incoming Oto ninja. Sakura ducks and proceeds to release the genjutsu on Naruto and Shikamaru.

Virtual Pressroom 2003
- Liquid lithium makes solid improvement in fusion plasmas
- A little chaos goes a long way
- Microwave ovens that won't butt in
- Fight smog with plasma
- A new entry in the science X-games
- Additional Papers
October 27, 2003 -- When are the best walls made out of liquid? Or even gas? Why would anyone think chaos could lead directly to order? Would you like a microwave oven that wouldn't interfere with your wireless network? Would you believe that smog can be reduced with plasma?
These and many other questions will be addressed at one of the world's largest physics meetings this year: the 45th Annual Meeting of the American Physical Society Division of Plasma Physics (APS-DPP), to be held from October 27-31, 2003, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Around 1600 papers are scheduled to be delivered at this meeting.
Plasmas are gases of electrically charged particles such as electrons and protons. Plasmas make up astrophysical objects such as stars and supernovas, dying stars that collapse under their own weight and then explode. On Earth, they exist naturally as lightning bolts and the bath of charged particles in our upper atmosphere. In high-tech electronics factories, beams of artificially created plasmas engrave the sophisticated patterns in computer chips.
Fusion energy
In attempts to provide the world with an abundant source of energy, many physicists are working hard to make artificial suns -- plasmas so hot and so dense that their particles fuse to release energy. This pursuit of nuclear fusion as a practical energy source is a major branch of plasma physics research, which is funded primarily by the US Department of Energy.

From Peter Som to Richard Chai Love, the makeup looks at New York Fashion Week have been all about the eyes. And it was no different at Meskita's neoprene-filled runway show last night, where Bobbi Brown's lead makeup artist, Rogelio Reyna, took the cat-eye to new levels.
"We wanted to go with a 50s-meets-New-York-Barbie look," Rogelio says, "so we just did flawless-looking skin with an extreme cat-eye."
His tips for achieving the runway look? "Always follow your natural eye. Start at the corner of your eye, draw a little line up to the crease, do a little triangle, and follow it onto the lid itself. And then, just color within the lines." Rogelio also recommends using Bobbi Brown's award-winning long-wear gel eyeliner to keep your cat-eye from smearing.
As for other beauty trends this Fashion Week, Rogelio says it's all about soft, not-overgroomed brows and a pale, almost-nude lip. Sounds like our fall beauty routines will be pretty easy – once we master this cat-eye, that is.

Stemming from a collaborative endeavour between Hermès, Jaeger-LeCoultre and Les Cristalleries de St. Louis, the Atmos Hermès clock vividly demonstrates that time is a true ally: one that has enabled the three Houses to combine their expertise in order to create this 176-piece limited edition crystal clock that quite literally lives on air.
Transparency rubs shoulders with opalescence, glass meets metal, artistic craftsmanship associates the rigorous nature of metal with the fragile vulnerability of crystal: such are the defining characteristics of the Atmos Hermès table clock. By giving substance to an immaterial reality, it forges a strong bond between humankind, its environment and a perpetually intriguing principle: that of time.
Encounters born of time
Expertise faithfully cultivated through the decades; a taste for innovation; a philosophy based on high standards: all of the Houses united in crafting the Atmos Hermès clock share the same values – including first and foremost a vision of time inextricably bound up with hand workmanship often referred to by the French word "bienfacture" and best translated as fine craftsmanship.
The astonishing crystal sphere thus houses a unique, almost perpetual movement developed by the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre. Since 1928, the mechanism of the Atmos clock fascinates by its exceptional mode of operation with no battery, no electric current and no winding. It lives on air by means of an ingenious principle: a hermetically sealed capsule containing a mixture of gases that expands when the temperature rises and contracts when it drops. Connected to the mainspring of the clock, the capsule acts like a concertina or bellows, thereby constantly winding the movement. It is so sensitive that a one-degree temperature difference is enough to power it for 48 hours.Its balance oscillates just once a minute, in comparison to the 180 times of a conventional 3 Hz movement or the 240 times of a conventional 4 Hz movement, both consuming 300 times more energy than an Atmos clock. The 190 parts comprising this ingenious construction are precisely assembled within the Manufacture.
Pursuing this demanding hand-crafted approach, Hermès entrusted Les Cristalleries de Saint-Louis glassmakers with creating the astonishing exterior of this clock: a crystal globe made using the so-called doublé or double overlay technique, which consists in coating layers of glass over each other, including a coloured one. Within the company, only six master glassmakers have the mastery and experience required to perform this task. First of all, the glassblower uses his blowpipe or gathering iron to collect the molten white enamel and fashions it so as to create a ball known as a gather; he then blows short puffs of air into this mass, all the while regularly heating it; before working it it further using a mailloche or shaping block, a ladle-like wooden tool used to shape the glass into a glass bubble or parison. This first stage of production is rendered even more difficult by the opacity of the material that prevents the artisan from seeing the various layers of the enamel. In parallel, four master glassmakers prepare a light-coloured glass mass using the shaping block and heat it to give it a spherical shape.
Then comes the overlay operation: the glassmaker uses the tip of his blowpipe to detach the white enamel parison, into which another master glassmaker pours the light-coloured glass. The two layered materials are then worked together and placed in a mould that is then blown to form a sphere measuring around 30 centimetres in diameter. The latter is placed in an annealing oven that serves to progressively cool it down in order to avoid the glass shattering. Once cooled down, the sphere that now weighs around ten kilos is perforated in the spot where the mechanism will be inserted. After this, using previously drawn markings, it is cut so as to reveal transparent pearl-like beads, and then polished to create subtle light effects.
It is thus within this subtle blend of opalescence and transparency that the clock movement is fitted, thereby composing a rare object representing the quintessence of the craftsmanship spirit. For while the Atmos clock counts off the minutes and hours, it is above all the sum of the time of artisans: years of apprenticeship and patiently acquired expertise, the time required for the exercise of each of these remarkable and singular skills.
Time born of encounters
Thierry Hermès, a harness-maker, set up business in Paris in 1837. The Maison has developed steadily ever since and now exercises 14 different métiers or skills: leather goods-saddlery, men's and women's silks, men's and women's ready-to-wear, perfumes, diaries, hats, shoes, gloves, enamel, art of living, tableware, jewellery and watchmaking.
In 1928, the first Hermès watches were presented in the store at no. 24, Faubourg Saint-Honoré. At the time, Hermès placed its signature on "timepieces" that it created in collaboration with the greatest Swiss watch manufacturers including Jaeger-LeCoultre – the firm that would later equip Hermès clocks with its Atmos movement.
In 1978, the La Montre Hermès workshops were set up in Switzerland, thereby confirming the company's taste for high standards and its passion for precision – two qualities that enabled it in 2012 to launch its first models equipped with its own Manufacture-made movements.
In an era when Swiss watchmaking was still structured around small cottage industry-type workshops in private homes, Antoine LeCoultre and his son Elie decided to unite under one roof the many professions involved in making watches. LeCoultre & Cie thus became the first full-fledged "Manufacture" in the Vallée de Joux. It now houses the over 180 skills required to develop and produce the most prestigious timepieces in their entirety. Engaged in a tireless quest for excellence supported by a unique spirit of invention, Jaeger-LeCoultre continues to perpetuate the tradition of Grande Complication models through a succession of extraordinary creations: the Atmos Mystérieuse (2003), Gyrotourbillon 1 (2004), Reverso grande complication à triptyque (2006), Master Compressor Extreme Lab 1 (2007), Reverso Gyrotourbillon 2 (2008), Duomètre à Grande Sonnerie (2009), Master Grande Tradition Grande Complication (2010), Reverso Répétition Minutes à Rideau (2011), and the Duomètre Sphérotourbillon (2012).
Through a steady stream of inventions and rediscoveries, refined techniques and artistic creations, Les Cristalleries de Saint-Louis has been producing glassware creations since 1586. Filigree glass, glass dyed in the mass, pressed (pattern) glass, handblown glass, hand-carved, engraved and decorated glass; opaline glass or double or triple-overlaid glass. Each model is crafted by master glassmakers and master glasscutters who are custodians of irreplaceable expertise: that required to tame an incomparably dense, limpid, sonorous and luminous material born of a ball of fire and of human breath. Les Cristalleries de Saint-Louis has been part of the Maison Hermès since 1989.

Never in a million years did I think I'd risk my life on behalf of The Oldham Era, but that's what I did Saturday during a Wild West festival presented by Christian Country Cowboy Church.
Feeling out of place in my University of Louisville T-shirt, I saw bonnets and cowboy hats, boots and chaps, spurs and leather vests in the crowd gathered at the Oldham County Fairgrounds.
They looked like they'd just stepped off a John Wayne movie set. I felt the disapproval of their eyes, or so I thought, as I made my way to the first station.

No problem, I moved it for you
I just ordered a graphics tablet to help with doing some hand drawn maps on my computer. Mostly I'll be doing battlemaps for my D&D playgroup, but my hope is that I'll enjoy it enough to start branching out into other things.
I'm a creative person with moderate ability and zero skill, by which I mean that I have some natural drawing ability but it's been a long time since I've done anything to cultivate it. My parents signed me up for art classes as a kid, but at the time I didn't have enough patience to listen to someone else teach me how to draw and give me exercises that taught me about shading, line drawing, etc. I just wanted to draw my way for the fun of it.
Now that I'm older (and maybe a tad wiser, but not much) I'd like to invest some time in practicing so that I can really do my best with the battlemaps and whatever else I draw. Can anyone recommend some good resources for building skill with a drawing tablet? I'm talking about anything from basic tablet use to very basic drawing exercises to tutorials in cartography or object drawing (swords, shields, chalices...the kinds of things that would be helpful to illustrate for a fantasy campaign.) I'd love to get to the point of drawing people well, but I think that's a ways off for right now.
Thanks in advance!
Edit: Sorry, I think this should've gone in "How Do I?" and I was looking at the wrong page. Sorry mods!
No problem, I moved it for you
Your story sounds just like mine, lol. I've been using my trusty little Wacom Bamboo (yeah the "cheap" one) now for about 3 or 4 years. The installation software had some basic use tutorials that I followed and i watched some tuts on youtube aswell. It took me a month or two to get used to looking forward at a screen while having my hand do the drawing on the desk.
My advice for getting the closest results to hand drawn graphics on the digital medium is to play with your sensitivity settings in the tablet software itself. There is a sweet spot with those settings and your brush settings in whatever drawing software you use. Took me the longest time to first figure out that there was a sweet spot and then find it. It felt really funny for me when i started out but as i stuck with it, it felt more and more natural. In photoshop there is a check box called "Other Dynamics" if you check that and set the options in it to "Pen Pressure" then you wont have to play with the opacity and fill of the brush you're using to make your strokes lighter or darker. It will automatically be based on how hard you press just like a pencil.
I'm a big subscriber to the idea that one of the best ways to learn something is dive right in and play around with it. With a tablet, I think it applies perfectly. Good luck
Our sense of the stability of the earth is an illusion due to the shortness of our lives.

Slylok's right on: Just do it. And keep on doing it until you're good at it. If you want something a bit more structured, though, head over to the CGTalk forums and look for their figurative and life drawing workshop threads. Loads of great advice there.
As for becoming accustomed to the tablet itself, I did it by playing Neverwinter Nights (the first one) for a few hours. The point-and-click controls for that game trained my motor skills pretty effectively. Unfortunately, a lot of games don't seem to work very well with a tablet. I tried it with Civilization V, which I thought should have worked nicely, but I was disappointed.

Thanks for the tips. I'm glad to hear that there are others out there who dove in and found it worthwhile. That idea of playing NWN sounds cool, I have a copy gathering dust around here somewhere...
The secret is to not think about what your are doing, at least for me. As soon as I think about the co-ordination between my hand and what's happening on the screen everything goes all caddywhompus. Kinda like thinking about what your tongue is doing in your mouth while you are sitting there.
Hey all, thanks for the input. I actually find that it feels pretty natural. I don't mind looking at the screen while moving my hand at all.
Now to actually get half-decent at drawing...
Hey, cool! I got a bamboo tablet recently (cheap and even on sale!) and just pulled it out again today. I have no drawing skill so the curve is steep but it's been pretty fun to play with. I'd be interested in seeing what you're producing with yours, Pineapple.
Quick tip: Put pencil to paper first. You may feel more comfortable starting this way. Get a drawing to where you're happy with it. Then scan it and "ink" it from there. May save time in the long run.

The Castle Tunnel is a two-lane tunnel that connects Union Drive East with Union Drive West via a tunnel under Castle Gardens at the southern tip of Algonquin. It passes under the pedestrianised area of Castle Gardens and was presumably built to bypass the busy financial district, The Exchange.
It is based on the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel, although, it doesn't connect to Broker. It is based on the Battery Park portion of the FDR Drive in New York.
