Road tripping back in time on the Old Spanish Trail
In 1915, there were many ways to drive across and around in the United States (though trans-continental routes were mostly dirt, with some improved sections). So why did a group meet that same year to develop another cross-country road, one that would take 15 years to complete, rather than tying together existing segments? Tourism to their communities, mostly, but their* Old Spanish Trail also boasted of being the shortest route from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Today, you can still find remnants of that road, and there's a group of people who are trying to revive this historic highway. [more inside]
A Walk on the Wild Side
Will Self and Robert Macfarlane Walk Wild Britain
We met on the sea wall beneath the lowering weirdness of Bawdsey Manor and bonded over the bizarre extent of its rock garden: how had it come to be there? Xenoliths – Robert said – that was the technical term for rocks brought from another place. He was indeed handsome, fit and disarmingly charming; and as we loped on along the shingle crunching and chatting it became abundantly clear that our problem that day was not going to be an awkward silence. There are two main types of walk so far as I'm concerned – and I expect Robert would agree: the determining factor is not a walk's length, whether up hill or down dale, if it is sleeting or shining, but only accompanied/unaccompanied.[more inside]

The story behind Oregon Trail
"He just has some things on his mind he's trying to work out."
Why Noah Went to the Woods: He was a proud Marine who survived three brutal tours in Iraq and had plans to redeploy with the national guard. But when 30-year-old Noah Pippin vanished inside Montana's remote Bob Marshall Wilderness, he left behind a trail of haunting secrets—and a mystery that may never be solved. "The Pippins were alarmed. Given their son's strict adherence to his moral code, a scenario in which Noah had intentionally shirked his military duty was nearly inconceivable. After several calls to his phone went straight to voice mail, they began to investigate, discovering that they knew far less about their son than they had imagined."

The First Thru-HIker
In 1948, WWII veteran Earl Shaffer decided to "walk the Army out of his system" by hiking the full length of the Appalachian Trail, Georgia to Maine, in one season. At the time, no one had attempted it, and the Appalachian Trail Conference didn't think it could be done. Not only did he complete it, setting the standard for generations of thru-hikers to follow, but he did the walk twice more in his life, the last time at the age of 79.
"We were on our own resources and we knew it. And that's what this business is all about."
So you've finished hiking the Appalachian Trail, just came down from Mount Katahdin, and you're wondering what to do now. Well, there's always the International AT, which goes through the Chic-Choc Mountains on the Gaspé Peninsula before crossing over to Newfoundland. Then you'd have hiked the tallest mountains in Quebec, right? Wrong. 800 miles to the north, on the border of Quebec and Newfoundland, lie the Torngats. [more inside]
100 miles in 24 hours - can your horse do that?

"It's a cliché among hikers that there are as many ways to hike the trail as there are people who hike it. Most start at Springer Mountain in Georgia and end at Katahdin in Maine; a few start in Maine and head south. Purists walk every 2,167.1 miles of the trail marked by white rectangular blazes painted on the trees. Blue blazers take short cuts on side trails marked with blue. Yellow blazers hitchhike ahead along roads. And then there are the pink blazers. Pink blazers pursue women."

Sugar Snaps
Sugar snaps have to be one of the easiest plants to grow in the vegetable garden. They don't need a ton of attention, or water, or food. They aren't prey to many bugs or diseases. Basically, this plant is your all-around go to gal in the garden. And in Florida, this is the perfect time of year to grow them because they tolerate the cooler temperatures very well.
The only thing you have to be wary of with these beauties is their support structure. They need it–and won't be happy without it. While my tomatoes are content to sprawl across the ground when given the opportunity, my sugar snap peas are not. You can use tee-pee structures like this one, or a trellis system of sorts.
Whichever you choose, be mindful that you might have to guide your darlings onto the support structure if they can't readily find it. For instance, these tee-pee supports I made worked well–but only for the plants directly surrounding their base. The sprouts in between tee-pees were at a loss for where to go and I ended up with huge plants along the tee-pee towers and scraggly spindly ones in between.
Another thing to remember: they will latch on to anything, including your water mister so be sure to make sure it's "out" of their way. Other than that, enjoy these lovelies and they will produce gorgeous plump pods for you to devour–straight from the vine or in pea form, alongside those mashed potatoes you love so much.

Gettin' Artsy With Elida...Professional Artist Elida Field showed us how to make a "Loveinterest Board"
Materials List:
~A piece of wood, cardboard, foamcore or frame with backing (anysize).
~burlap to fit your wood
~house paint or stain
~staple gun
~wooden pins, nails or decorative tacks
~mini clothes pins
~wire and little screws for hanging
~pictures, words, photographs, poems, and maps of places you love or things you love to do.
How to create your "Loveinterest Board"
1. Cut your burlap to the size of your board or slightly over if you want to wrap your board.
2. With your regular house paint or acrylics, paint your board completely and then lay your
burlap over the top. You can leave the edges exposed or wrap around the board and tack with
3. Place two push pins into the wood the same distance from each edge and down from the top.
Depending on the size of the wood, you could do one or two more rows.
4. Tie your string around each pin or nail and connect to the other side. Depending on the size
of the wood you may do two or three rows.
5. Clip the clothes pins onto the string and begin attaching your favorite things. Before the
picture goes up on your board, you must ask yourself if you "love, love, love it?" Only put the
things that you love up on the board! It's a "loveinterest board".....so you should "love"
everything you put on there!
From "loving it"...to making it happen!
The "Loveinterest Board" should serve as a reminder for you to live the life you love instead of
the life you think you should live. As you stay focused, you will find yourself fulfilling some of the
adventures you pinned. For instance, you might love Italy and really want to take a trip there...you place a picture prominently in the middle of your board. Once you accomplish that goal, you could move it from your board to your "Loveinterest Book"! This book doesn't have to be fancy, but just a simple book where you can place your pictures as you fulfill your life, adventures, and doing those things you love!

The story of Carnival of Flesh starts in late 2002, when two guys, Dachaz and Dam, wanted to reshape the Serbian black metal scene with a sound that escapes the traditional black Metal boundaries. This sound was commonly described as a refreshing mix of heavier guitars and more mind-blowing symphonies than usual.
Many of the local media outlets recognised the potential in this sound and insisted on reviewing rehearsal materials as demos, to which the creative duo strongly opposed, since the sound was not yet what they had envisioned.
As expected, such an insane combination was not easily executed and the band suffered from frequent personnel changes over the years, until officially splitting up in 2008.
In 2014., after a long hiatus, Dachaz decided to reboot Carnival of Flesh as a studio project. Over the course of the year, the perfect conditions were created for recording: Some of the best songs from the past were hand-picked from the vault, their arrangements were updated, lyrics conceptually rewritten and some of the best personnel was engaged. Guitars and bass were performed by the infamous Jake O'Bayne, while the drums were executed by one and only Vojin Ratković. The album was meticulously recorded, mixed and produced by internationally acclaimed Ivan Ilić Ćili. Thus, "Stories From a Fallen World" were born.
Recently, Carnival of Flesh have self-released their debut, while preparing the material for the second album. We are also interested in touring possibilities, although we are aware of organisational complications due to the geographical distribution of the personnel.

Fall is for Planting
Our favorites include fruit, ornamental and shade trees and a huge variety of hardy plants (hardy means they don't die in the New England winter) such as grasses, stonecrop and perennials such as rudbeckia. Fall is ideal for planting because the plants have some cool, wet weather, during which they grow roots and go dormant. Come spring, they are already established and ready to grow.
Take advantage of an old-timer gardener's secret and save money by buying plants, trees and perennials during our fall sales.

Amir Farhang and Kayla McGee Web: The Wedding Announcement
This is not a commercial. This is an actual invitation to the wedding. A couple – Amir Farhang and Kayla McGee – decided to have some fun and instead of sending a boring card made this funny video to announce their wedding. The short movie shows a quarrel between these two. The ending turns out to be really surprising and even shocking.

While historic homes can be difficult to renovate as discussed below, there can be opportunities with lot availability for new construction to match the exterior architectural features, while providing all the modern conveniences.
Lead Paint
Mold Mildew
Non up to code wiring
Outdated plumbing
Just thought I would mention those things as I was in a historical home before
Homes usually cost a little more. Most are older and maintenance can be a higher cost than new homes, but it's worth it.
The houses in the historical district of Summerville are usually in more demand and have a higher resale value than a house in a regular subdivision. It is nice to be able to walk or ride your bike into downtown to shop or eat at restaurants. Also the charm and character of the older houses are nice features for re-sale. However there are strict guidelines that you must follow to do any renovations to these historic homes. You can search for homes on the website below.
Typically, home values in an historic district tend to be higher than in a standard subdivision. In Summerville, there are about 700 buildings certified in the historic district. Strict architectural guidelines pertain to any renovations or changes to these structures. You can check out more information at these links:
The advantages? If you love history, and being a part of its preservation, then you would certainly enjoy owning a home and living in the Summerville historic district. That's certainly a lifestyle and quality of life advantage that you can't put a price tag on!
Again, call or email me if you have any other questions, or if I can assist you in your search.

Mr. Young's passionate cracked whine assumes an oracular power.
Stephen Holden - New York Times
Neil Young Journeys underscores the continuing relevance of Young's artistry over the last 45 years and why he is regarded as one of rock's most influential musicians and songwriters.
Claudia Puig - USA Today
For true believers, "Neil Young Journeys" is a visit with a still-vital friend. For the merely curious, it's proof that there's more to the man - more strangeness, deeper communions with the muse - than classic rock radio will ever let on.
Ty Burr - Boston Globe
Demme and five other camera operators expertly capture an intense, pared-down 2011 solo show at Toronto's Massey Hall in the absorbing new Neil Young Journeys.
Aaron Hillis - Village Voice
Of course, the music is the thing and the sounds here earn Demme's reverence.
Jim Farber - New York Daily News
It's an intimate performance portrait, divided among new material from his 2010 album "Le Noise" and many of his classics.
Roger Ebert - Chicago Sun-Times
With its one-of-a-kind poetic lamentation, Young's voice sounds more peculiarly lovely than ever. A small picture, but good and true.
Michael Phillips - Chicago Tribune
As a songwriter, Young can still deliver: one of the best tunes here is a lovely, piano-propelled number, "Leia," that he hasn't even released yet.
J. R. Jones - Chicago Reader
I'd say the movie does a fine job of completing the trilogy, but I wouldn't be surprised if Demme and Young have more in them yet.
Dan DeLuca - Philadelphia Inquirer
Forget Crosby, Stills and Nash and maybe even Crazy Horse. Jonathan Demme might be Neil Young's ultimate collaborator.
Chris Riemenschneider - Minneapolis Star Tribune
"Journeys" is simply a trip most need not take.
Tom Long - Detroit News
Like Young, Demme often takes an iconoclastic route. This is in part a concert film, yes, but not a traditional one.
Bill Goodykoontz - Arizona Republic
The nicest thing I can think of to say about the doc "Neil Young Journeys" is that at least it isn't in 3-D.
Kyle Smith - New York Post
The point of this valuable and continuing exercise is intimacy, not nostalgia per se. Demme keeps it simple, apart from the occasionally trippy lens move.
- Toronto Star
The wartsy antipode of Katy Perry: Part of Me, with an intimacy and intensity bordering on the overwhelming.
James Adams - Globe and Mail
Journeys, shot on the last two nights of Young's 2011 solo world tour, is essential Neil Young.
Peter Travers - Rolling Stone
Young's almost mystical musicianship is what saves it.
Betsy Sharkey - Los Angeles Times
Count me in the camp that wouldn't mind another Young/Demme movie every two or three years from here on out.
Sean Burns - Philadelphia Weekly
Young's amiable, guard-down chatter as he drives that 1956 Ford Crown Victoria all the way from Omemee to Massey Hall in Toronto establishes a sense of heart and soul ...
- The List
Demme plants a camera on the mic stand so at one point he can present Young's unshaven scowl in extreme close-up, blocking out the gorgeously lighted stage. It's not a pleasant image
Matt Kelemen - Las Vegas CityLife
It's OK. But seriously, how many Neil Young documentaries do we need?
Roger Moore
A mournful documentary that combines footage of Young in concert in Toronto with a bittersweet trip to his childhood home in Omemee in southern Ontario.
Allan Hunter - Daily Express
Demme hasn't stopped seeking out new angles on this old warhorse, and even the odd speck of spittle on the lens cannot obscure the fact Young increasingly looks and sounds like one of the all-time greats.
Mike McCahill
Jonathan Demme makes his third concert film with Young, including shots practically right up his nostrils.
Tim Robey - Daily Telegraph
If this is raging against the dying of the light, long may he rage.
Kevin Harley - Total Film
...too much material drawing from his mediocre Le Noise album and the interview segments where Young drives around Ontario telling stories from his youth are less than revelatory.
Eric Melin - Scene-Stealers.com
I've seen better concert videos and I've seen better music documentaries. This one is for diehard Neil Young fans.
James Plath - Movie Metropolis
...just Young and his insinuating voice (which I'm inclined to credit more now than I was 40 years ago), various guitars, harmonica and piano, over which he displays a great and tender command.
Philip Martin - Arkansas Democrat-Gazette
Fans of folk rock legend Neil Young who are willing to accept that the guy is well past his prime will respond to the downbeat tone of Jonathan Demme's concert film.
Jim Schembri - 3AW
The director is putting Young in the audience's lap, allowing the viewer to examine all the creases and crevices of his grizzled face as well as capturing the emotion the singer pours into his songs.
Bob Bloom - Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
These two world-renowned and individualistic artists from the worlds of music and film clearly bask in each other's company. We, the audience, would be fools to respond otherwise.
Marjorie Baumgarten - Austin Chronicle
Long may he run, sure, but 'Neil Young Journeys' has the feeling of a farewell.
John Beifuss - Commercial Appeal (Memphis, TN)
"Journeys" is about looking back - not in sorrow or wistfulness, but in affection and, often, impassioned remembrance of times past and how they still resonate in the present.
Chris Foran - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
A mesmerizing and intimate visit with a performer who is identified most closely with rock 'n' roll, but whose artistic curiosity has taken him in myriad directions musically throughout his 40-plus-year career.
Christopher Lloyd - Sarasota Herald-Tribune
Neil Young Journeys does for some of us what a rare film can do - it revives and renews our spirit. Neil Young and Jonathan Demme. Heart and soul. Wisdom and age. Fire and ashes. Lightning and thunder.
Tony Macklin - tonymacklin.net
For fans, Journeys is like that box set of uneven rarities that they simply must own. For casual friends, it's 90 minutes in good company. For the rest - ho-hum.
Jeff Meyers - Metro Times (Detroit, MI)
An unusually fulsome tribute to the singer-songwriter from the director of The Silence of the Lambs.
Kelly Vance - East Bay Express
On its own terms, "Neil Young Journeys" is an enjoyable concert film of a solo show in Toronto, interspersed with memories of his Canadian boyhood.
Joe Williams - St. Louis Post-Dispatch
The concert camera work is sometimes a little tight for comfort (not really interested in Young's bridge work), though it adds to the intensity.
Paul de Barros - Seattle Times
Movie fans probably don't need to hear him sing "Ohio" again, but "Neil Young Journeys" -- Jonathan Demme's second Young doc, if you're counting -- does have some new wrinkles.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul) - St. Paul Pioneer Press
In a sense, this film finishes a cycle that began with the homey and impressive "Neil Young: Heart of Gold" and continued with the raucous "Neil Young Trunk Show" of 2009.
Shawn Levy - Oregonian
"Look at Mother Nature on the run..."
James Verniere - Boston Herald
A portrait of a true musical legend who is equally fascinating both onstage and off.
Peter Sobczynski - eFilmCritic.com
'Heart of Gold' was a great concert film, and 'Journeys' doesn't match it. BHut on its own it's a highly enjoyable ninety minutes of music and droll talk.
Frank Swietek - One Guy's Opinion
The words 'Neil Young in concert' mean plenty to some people and little to others; if you're in the plenty category, you'll want to see this.
Liz Braun - Jam! Movies
The third collaboration between Demme and Young since 2006, this may be the sparest and most personal of all.
Peter Keough - Boston Phoenix
Demme's visual attention to detail is matched by the film's impeccable sound quality.
George Varga - San Diego Union-Tribune
Overall, it's not a dazzling or groundbreaking movie, but it's an awfully good one, showcasing one of our most durable and honest rockers.
Jeffrey M. Anderson - Combustible Celluloid
Young's joyful revisit to [his hometown] contains some of the best scenes ... as we get a glimpse of a happier, freer Young
Emily S. Mendel - culturevulture.net
More casual fans will twist in their chairs uncomfortably, wishing that a roadie would walk up and wipe it off. Neil Young die-hards will cherish the spittle.
Peter Hartlaub - San Francisco Chronicle
A feast for Neil Young lovers and initiates alike.
Peter Rainer - Christian Science Monitor
At 65, as Demme emphasizes with his clamp-like focus on the performer, Young can still smash it up.
Michelle Orange - Movieline
As great and intimate as Live at Massey Hall 1971 may be, it's not as transportive as this filming of a Neil Young performance at the venue 30 years later.
Kalvin Henely - Slant Magazine
What's the point of this particular project? Why - apart from any marketing concerns - did either artist feel it was essential to capture this concert on film?
Stephen Whitty - Newark Star-Ledger
The heart of any concert movie is the concert itself, and in the case of Neil Young Journeys, it's a great one.
Sam Adams - AV Club
"I'm on this journey / I don't wanna walk alone," howls Young. What can we do but follow?
Keith Uhlich - Time Out
Concert footage from Neil Young's 2011 "Le Noise" tour is simultaneously intimate and very, very loud.
Daniel Eagan - Film Journal International
Fans of the 66-year-old guitar god (which is to say the only people who'll see this homespun gem) will revel in Young's winsome cruise down Memory Lane.

Vringo (VRNG +24.4%) takes off for the second day in a row following the denial of Google's (GOOG) request for a summary judgment on Vringo's patent suit against the search giant - shares are now up 72% over the last 2 days. Steve Kim, a lawyer and SA author, argues today the fact that court-ordered Oct. 9 settlement talks will take place immediately after a judge hears a Vringo motion for sanctions against Google could give Vringo leverage.

Real Men Cry | Visceral Series Explores Society's Emotional Response
Crying Men is a series of photographic portraits of famous film actors that explores the relationship between society's perception of what is masculine and attractive. Artist Sam Taylor-Wood took portraits of her subjects, well known leading men, as if they were in character. Engaging in the emotional connections, each image is a portrait not only of the man, but of the stereotype that "real men don't cry".
"Some of the men cried before I even finished loading the camera, but others found it really difficult, said Taylor-Wood. "People can decide for themselves which they think are the authentic tears and which they think are fake."
It's about the idea of taking these big, masculine men and showing a different side.
The accomplished director started off as a photographer and has accumulated quite the collection of awards and accolades for her work in the arts.
Each image looks to challenge the oversimplification of the male emotional realm while also adding the layer of the alluring leading man. Can our leading men still cry?
When Grow Men Cry
With the likes of Robin Williams, Laurence Fishburne, Daniel Craig, Ed Harris, Benicio del Torro, Forest Whitaker, Dustin Hoffman, Gabriel Byrne, Steve Buscemi, Robert Downey Jr., Jude Law, Sean Penn, Paul Newman, and many more, it is difficult to look away. Stunning.
To purchase the art book, click: Sam Taylor-Wood: Crying Men.
How do you feel this series relates to our everyday lives or our perception of men or Hollywood?
Until Next Time . . .
Stay inspired ~ Jules

The attitude of the man towards women is often clearly defined by the societal proprieties. Say whenever you are from a date, you realize chivalry never goes unnoticed.

Burton was arrested by detectives and is also charged with murder.

We were a band of outsiders who went downtown and realized, 'Oh, all of us are right.' There were tons of creative people doing their thing, plus it only agreed to be the scared people that wanted to shut it down.'
3. Don't assume you're doing them any favors by dating them. TS girls have witnessed everything. Think of your average nightclub and also the male to female ratio. Now remove about 99% with the women there and replace them more men aiming to hookup, that essentially may be the transsexual community. So it doesn't matter how trendy you're, how wealthy you are, or how bulky you happen to be at the health club, the ladies have witnessed all this before.

I was going through a SBS 2003 to SBS 2011 the migration partially went through meaning that some roles were pushed to the new server (Schema, PDC, and RID pool) while the old server retained some roles as well (domain, and infrastructure).
The migration failed and stated I needed to wipe the new server and start over - so thats what I did - however the old server still thinks this new server is there just not connected.
How can I get the roles back on the old server and get it to "forget" the new server existed? I am getting licensing errors and odd things happening on my network which I can only believe have to do with the AD/DC being in an unhealthy state. My event viewer is filled with sharepoint errors as well as several others (all within application, dir service, and dns)
I tried to restore from the backup I took prior to this and the restore failed -_-

well I got the roles back by using a method that failed a few days ago - though it still sees the new (no longer active) server in AD

Toronto holds off Cadiz
CADIZ – For Toronto, one inning was enough. For Cadiz, that same inning wasn't.
Post 86 outscored Post 34, 3-2, during the fourth Wednesday night and that proved to be the difference in a 4-2 victory by the visitors at Mazeroski Memorial Field inside Sally Buffalo Park.
After losing six games by one run in their first 12, Post 86 Manager Steve Sninchak was delighted to see his squad come out on the other end of a close one for once.
"We started out well hitting the ball," Sninchak said. "The last few innings we didn't take an aggressive approach and let them back in it a little bit.
"But, I mean, 11 hits in four innings is pretty good. We're swinging the bats well."
Toronto did its damage by lacing 11 singles and taking advantage four Cadiz miscues. All of the hits came during the first four innings, including seven combined in the third and fourth.
"They had all singles compared with our three extra-base hits," first-year Cadiz manager Jerry Graham noted. "Them getting the bats on the ball made all the difference."
Too, was the performance of Jarin McIntosh. The Post 86 hurler went the distance, recording 10 strikeouts, walking three, and allowing five hits. Only one inning – the fourth – did Post 34 collect two base knocks.
"He's a bulldog and goes after it," Sninchak said. "He's a good pitcher and he throws strikes when has has to."
McIntosh allowed one hit during the first three innings – a leadoff double by Matt Dunfee in the second. Along the way, he fanned five batters, including the side in the third.
After knocking on the door in the first two innings, Toronto broke it down in the third as four straight batters singled with one out. The last one, by Nate Stewart, drove in Blaze Glenn for a 1-0 Post 86 lead.
Cadiz starter Chase Hopkins got out of the jam, by fanning McIntosh for the second out and then got Anthony Krager to ground out to second to end the inning.
One inning later, Toronto (4-9) loaded the bases with one out. Jay Lane came through with an RBI single plating Andy Miller for the game's second run.
Tyler Owens followed with another RBI single. Then, after Stewart reached on an error, another run scored making the count 4-0.
Dustin Redish tripled to leadoff the home half of the fourth. After Brendan Baire walked, Dunfee singled home Redish making the score 4-1 with no outs.
Baire later scored from third making it 4-2 when Nick Staten attempted to steal second.
Post 34 (3-12) later got their leadoff batters on third in the sixth and seventh innings, but failed to score.
"We had our leadoff runner on third on three occasions and couldn't get him in," Graham said.
Redish and Dunfee both had two hits for Cadiz.
Lane laced three singles for Post 86, with Glenn, Owens and Stewart having two apiece.
"We've been in every game," Sninchak said. "We've had runners on late in games to either tie or win. We're happy with the way we're playing.
"The guys come to play every day. We have 15 kids that wanna play ball and they're playing well."

PARIS — France's Carrefour, the world's second-largest retailer after Wal-Mart, on Monday said it planned to spend $254 million over the next two years to open and renovate stores in South Korea.
Carrefour chief executive officer Daniel Bernard signed a letter of intent for the investments with Seoul's minister of commerce and industry, Lee Hee-Beom, who in return pledged his country's support to the firm, Carrefour said.
Carrefour has opened 27 hypermarkets in South Korea since its arrival in 1996. It had sales of about $1.5 billion in the country last year.
In 2005, Carrefour said it plans to open three hypermarkets, in Jeonju City, Hwaseong City and Incheon Metropolitan City.
Meanwhile, Carrefour is said to be seeking to sell its eight hypermarkets in Japan. A spokesman for the company declined all comment. But sources said Carrefour, which entered Japan in 2000, had mandated Morgan Stanley to broker a deal.
Wal-Mart and Japanese retailers Aeon and Izumiya have been cited as possible candidates.

i need guardian help...alot of it.

iTrader: (
1. what do you think the best and most safe build would be to ensure that i get the charm-type guardian? how's the best way for me to do it?
As long as you make sure your charm is the highest stat, then you will definitely get a Krusef.
2. is it true that ci gives flashes for charm and sense?
CI makes all types flash.
3. do all the stats get the point boost from secret empathy, or does one certian stat get the point boost?
If you fully complete ID until your seed stops flashing, you will get 1 bonus point in each stat after you hatch it. Whichever stat flashed LAST when you finished CI is the stat that will gain 2 points.
4. do you think it's possible to get legendary with just 1k of cards?
It really depends how lucky you are. Some people get through 1.6+ cards. For my legendary Spinel, it only took me around 1.2k cards. I think it might take a smaller amount of cards if you get more combos or get higher in stages, or depending how many SCs you find. I know I got quite a lot of SCs and long-ish combos going.
5. if i raise one stat to 6, will i still be able to get legendary? will it add some chance of me getting mighty?
If you get a stat to 6 your entire seed locks and you can no longer raise any stats. If you were to get a 6 in a stat while still wanting to raise others, you'd be out of luck.
6. do runes let you use skills from another class? (ex:charm+rune=power/charm skills)
Yes they do. But you need to remember that they need to learn the prerequisite skills also, which take up skill slots.
7. do you only earn secret empathy with star gazing if you get a title?
I'd imagine so. For me though I just went for pure CI and didn't do any star gazing at all.
8. how many cards did you use when you used ci? how many sc's did you get?
Like I said, about 1.2k cards. In total I must have gotten at least 15-ish SCs, or possibly more, I can't really remember.
9. will getting a total of less than 14 for the build mess up the chance of getting a legendary?
Anything less than 13 won't be a legendary. I'd go for a full 14 to be on the safe side though, plus it will mean more skill slots for your guardian.
10. is getting a legendary by chance even if you do secret empathy?
If you just do SOME CI or star gazing and your seed doesn't stop flashing from your actions, then you won't get a legendary. If you really want one, you need to keep doing those things until they're completely finished. Otherwise, all your effort will be wasted.
Ninja'd, but I'll post this anyway, haha.

Christopher Wesley Millhouse, 21, is charged with aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a crime, according to a Richmond County jail committal.
The shooting happened at about 1:45 a.m., after Mr. Millhouse entered the bar and started to argue with another man over a woman, according to a Richmond County sheriffs report. Mr. Millhouse lifted his shirt to expose a firearm, and the other man left the bar. Mr. Millhouse approached the other man outside and aimed the weapon at him, the report says. The other man attempted to disarm Mr. Millhouse, and while the two men were struggling two shots were fired from the gun.
The other man was eventually able to get the weapon away from Mr. Millhouse, the report said.
The gun, a .40-caliber, semi-automatic silver Smith & Wesson, was recovered by the officer.

PFE, MRK, and BMY all fell short of analysts expectations in their Q1 earnings reports and their stock prices paid the consequences. The common denominator for these three big pharmas was the patent expiration of one or more of their mega blockbusters such as Lipitor for PFE and Singulair for MRK. It certainly isn't going to be easy for PFE and MRK to replace billions of dollars of lost annual sales ($13 B in the case of Lipitor) from the patent expiration of key drugs. It all boils down to the quality of thieir pipelines. Merck, particularly, has been reported to have an extremely strong drug pipeline with 35 drugs in various stages of development. How good is PFE's pipeline? I think Read has done a good job in bringing value to PFE stockholders with dividends, cost cutting measures, and the recent spin off of Zoetis which was very successful. The remarkable increase in the PFE stock price proves this. Read is now toying with the idea of dividing PFE into separate branded and generic drug divisions. However I don't think there are many more bunnies that he can remove from his majic hat. to bring share value to PFE stockholders. Make no mistake about it. Now is the time for PFE to prove to the analysts and the PFE stockholders that it can develop not just one but a number of key drugs to replace the revenue of its expiring mega blockbuster drugs. We all know that Merck and BMY are hard at work in trying to develop new drugs and PFE has to do the same. It is the only way to insure the long term vitality of our company.
BMY didn't pay much ... that one could be a real leader going forward ... also BMY had a terrific run up in the
past year ... not sure it's in the same bucket ..
i also don't rule out MRK and PFE , but their pipes seem to be a bit behind the curve ..
it's only a matter of time , for the top 5 or 6 pharma's to really ignite ... right now , they are all in the middle
of one of the biggest transistions that any sector has seen ... bumps in the road are to be expected , so
enjoy the divs and sleep well ....
Unlike PFE and MRK which bought quality pharmas near their lows at the bottom of the 2008/2009 crash, BMY was low on cash and could do little to offset its patent expiration cliff. As a result, they continue to pay the price earnings-wise. After seeing earnings peak at $2.28 a share in 2011 just prior to a slew of major patent expirations, here is the miserable 2012-2015 situation with respect to earnings per share:
$2.28 in 2011 (actual)
$1.99 in 2012 (actual)
$1.81 in 2013 (consensus))
$2.15 in 2014 (consensus)
$2.02 in 2015 (consensus)
Do investors look at earnings projections any more? Is anyone but me seeing this? Or are they so taken in with the likes of Cramer and want to be "cool" by saying that they own Bristol MARS? Does anyone but me see that at the current $40.02 stock price, the stock with its pedestrian 3.5% dividend sells at virtually TWENTY times estimes 2015 earnings? I mean isn't that a wee bit RICH for such miserable expected earnings performance even out to the end of 2015?
At the other end of the valuation spectrum is BIDU, the dominant search engine in China whose biggest competitor is just 1/7 BIDU's size. With BIDU currently at $87.65 (it was $166 two years ago), here is its 2011-2015 earnings per share situation:
$3.02 in 2011 (actual)
$4.79 in 2012 (actual)
$5.03 in 2013 (consensus)
$6.25 in 2014 (consensus)
$8.05 in 2015 (consensus)\
In 2011, BIDU's $3.02 in earnings were just 33% above those of BMY. Nut in 2015, BIDU's earnings are expected to be virtually QUADRUPLE those of BMY. But yet BIDU currently sells for less than 11 times estimated 2015 results while BIDU sports a 19.8 multiple relative to 2015 expectations.
Is it any surprise that I am foregoing the right to say that I am an owner in Bristol MARS? I'd much rather own one of the fastest-growing companies its size in the world with a PE with respect to 2015 that is less than HALF its normal growth rate of about 25% per year.
Pfizer's Lipitor patent expired domestically on Nov. 30, 2011 and has had various expirations overseas from mid-2011 on. So while 2012 results were affected very adversely by the Lipitor patent expiries, comparisons in 2013, 2014 and thereafter are affected by a much smaller amount.
While PFE should certainly have its share of new blockbusters along the way, the fact is that for such a large company, such new blockbusters really don't amount to all that much. Probably more important even than the development of big new drugs is the availability to largely control PRICING. And THAT is largely where PFE and the other drugmakers are falling by the wayside. It's also the main reason why I decided to finally exit the stock a month ago after having been such a staunch bull since mid-November of 2004.
The relative inability to control pricing is a recent material adverse factor that just isn't discussed much these days but which is definitely present. Pfizer does about 5/8 of its business overseas and many of the countries it does business with are being forced to adopt austerity measures. Many of these nations are socialist-leaning and the governments and not Pfizer calls the shots when it comes to pricing. If for example the Spanish or Irtalian governments say they are going to lower drug reimbursements by 5% the next year, what can Pfizer do about it? The truth is that they can't do a thing about it. And this is why you see revenues actually falling despite the fact that most of the big patent expiries are now behind the company.
As mentioned above, Lipitor was a big factor in holding earnings in check in the year 2012 when adjusted EPS amounted to $2.19 per share. However, lack of pricing power is largely due to these future lackluster earnings projections:
$2.19 in 2012 (actual)
$2.23 in 2013 (consensus). 2% growth
$2.35 in 2014 (consensus). 5% growth
$2.46 in 2015 (consensus). 5% growth
Let's just say that I'm not impressed.
Stiffening of drug price controls by foreign governments would indeed adversely PFE's overseas revenue in future years. However in his 2013 Q1 earnings reports, CEO Read cited that the major factors for reduced drug sales so far this year were sudden unfavorable worsening of currency exchange rates and generic competition. Interestingly, just a few days later, the Merck CEO also highlighted these same two factors for Merck's disappointing Q1 earnings. There is not too much that the big Pharma companies can do about foreign currency exchange rates. To counter the onslaught of generic competition on expired drugs which will only intensify in the future, the big Pharmas such as PFE, MRK, and BMY must rely on their pipelines to develop[ new drugs in a timely fashion. I would venture to guess that the CEOs of all of the major US owned pharmaceutical companies would agree that the single greatest threat to their businesses now is generic
Try to buy lower and wait, then sell higher. A simple rule.

I just don't understand why the fix would be in? What is in it for the republicans? The whole thing makes no sense. Even the senate came up with that interpretation when McCain was questioned, that you had to have two US citizen parents. Well hello, duh, BHO doesn't and he admitted it so where is the controversy? There didn't have to be any investigation or show of documents. He incriminated himself, no republican had to, so where is the downside? There is something still so strange about this story.
Mr. Charlton replies: What most people do not know or fail to admit, is that the Republican Party is controlled at the financial level by the same social class as the Democratic Party, and that the Republican party for a long time, and now elements of the Tea Party are under the same control and serve no so much to be true opposition, but theatrical opposition, so as to blunt any real reaction and opposition to the agenda of International Socialism. That is why Democrats work hardest against true social conservative Christians who run on Republican tickets, and attack them when they run in Republican primaries against progressive Republicans like McCain.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Dothy82 Great Stay in the Big Apple started at W New York Very well located hotel, clean and nice room, excellent bedding, great space in the room. Only warning was the noise I got from Lexington Avenue. November 28, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by John424 Hotel is tired Key system was down and did not work. Staff did the best they could, but it is a real nuisance to have to wait for security to escort you to your room to unlock it. Room service did not get the order card placed outside the room overnight -- first time that has happened. After calling to ask about breakfast, the staff were responsive, but it was still 90 minutes later than expected delivery time. The rooms need updating, too. Generally a tired property, although the staff are very friendly and helpful. November 25, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Mich45 Great Place to Stay I brought a friend and her daughter to New York for their first visit. They loved the hotel. Even though our check in time was at 3PM, we were allowed to go to our rooms at 11AM. On top of that , we both got upgrades, which was fantastic. The staff is very professional and friendly. Derrick at the Acura desk was very accomodating and friendly. Our rooms were great and we had a great view. I've already recommended the hotel to several of my travelling buddies. I would absolutely stay there again, and plan on doing so in March of next year for my birthday. Thank you for an enjoybale stay. November 22, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Great Location Perfect location for our stay. The hotel is beautiful and the staff attentive. I would recommend this hotel for both leisure and business visits. The gym was excellent and the lobby welcoming. November 18, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Verified Reviewer Great Hotel This W hotel was just great. The staff was really friendly especially at the front desk and outside at the door. I will come back and stay here on my next trip to NYC and will definitely recommend it to all my friends and contacts. The Acura service is a great idea and great promotion for the manufacturer. Thanks! November 16, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Arcade Awful experience A tiny room for a fortune, with false alarms going off in the early morning hours and staff knocking on the door at 7am. Worst hotel experience in a long time. November 11, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Shell56 Terrible service I was supposed to check-in at 3pm but our room was not ready. We were told it would be ready in an hour. After an hour and half of waiting in the hotel lobby we left because of other things we had planned. When we came back later that evening to check-in we didn't even get an apology for it taking so long or for the inconvenience. Worst hotel experience ever. Staff not helpful. Hardly spent anytime at hotel so couldn't really comment on anything else November 7, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by FranB W hotel Lexington Ave We stayed at this W location in October 2012. The staff was very nice and accommodating, however the rooms were in desperate need of an update. We felt like we were placed in this room because we were using points. November 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Vitof My Place I stay here whenever I travel to Manhattan, Staff is great, location is great. The staff really go out of there way to make my stays easy and comfortable. November 1, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Katherine367 This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. I came for business to NYC and chose to stay at the W Hotel. They started off by losing my reservation, then telling me I needed to leave since I couldn't provide them with a confirmation number. I asked to see a manager and she was extremely rude to us. They finally found our reservation and with no apology, handed over our room key. We were put on the 10th floor and when we got to the room there were dirty dishes set outside the door. Once inside it was very apparent the room had not been cleaned. So we called for a manager and room change and no one would answer the phone. After about an hour we were moved to the 8th floor directly across from the elevators. I am the customer, which they must have forgotten, because they treated me like scum off the street. I am a business woman that knows the value of a business lies with the clients, unfortunately the W Hotel does not. I will never stay there again and will discourage all others from doing so, as well. October 31, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by fancynancy snobby attitude from the lead staff at the desk The staff were all friendly but the director at the desk, David, had a snobby attitude during each interaction and there was a sense of unnecesary hostility. Our room was not even prepared by 3pm and he was in no way going to try to be accomadating regarding an upgrade. My friends and I were sent to the spa with all of our luggage to get ready for our lunch. Also, 90% of the equipment in the gym was broken and that was pretty dissapointing given the amount my friends and I were paying. This was my first expereince at any starwood hotel where I did not feel valued as a loyal gold member. Later a bottle of champagne was sent to my room but it hardly made up for the cold welcome. October 31, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by iBatman Vice President 1) Your bellmen service level is terrible! They ignore guests. I asked for some string to help with my luggage, and I got just a curt "NO", and he walked away! Unfortunately, I couldn't get his name. 2) Your concierge desk needs help. The phone was ringing off the hook! Alright, it was a Sunday night, but......that's the time you need a concierge! October 31, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by SKhan Too loud and bed uncomfortable Stayed here on Monday night with room facing 49th streeet. Noise was so loud all night and bed was very uncomforable - heavenly bed it was not. Don't stay on a low floor. October 30, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by KP2012 Great Location; ok otherwise The "cozy" room was definitely small but that was fine since I was traveling alone. The room was not the cleanest (there were stains in the carpet) and it was quite noisy (you could hear the water dripping in the air conditioner unit and the unit was rather loud). On my final night I returned to my room and my bathroom had not been replenished (towels and floor mat were not replaced); when I called housekeeping it took them almost an hour to show up and they gave me two bath mats and 3 bath towels, but no hand towels or wash cloths. The information in the hotel guide needs to be updated. The breakfast in the lobby was listed as "complimentary" but you had to pay. Due to the location alone, I would likely book this hotel again on my next trip. October 25, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by JMRF Great staff The location is great, the staff is outstanding, and the room was quite good. We had the larger, corner room. However, more attention should be paid to lighting, We found this to be true in the dining area as well. Mind you, I don't like "spotlights", but there are dark spots in the room which make it less usable. I know the idea is to be minamalist, but a few more furnishings (like an extra chair) in this maxi room would be nice. October 24, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by FARM5 This hotel needs improvements! When you have a problem with the room assigned don't send the customer to a room that has other problems. October 24, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Gluck Excellent Staff was excellent. Very helpful October 24, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Aris2000 Cozy Comfort Too Cozy My sister and I reserved a Cozy comfort room for our 3 night stay in New York. Having stayed at a W hotel before we had no reservations about the room being described as cozy but it was definitely too small for two people. We were also not aware that the hotel had no heat and coming from Florida that was a bit of a problem for us. Someone at the time of check in should have notified us of this. The meal we ordered from Room service was quite over priced for the quality. October 18, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by AlmaStar Disappointing This W Hotel is way below the standards of what I expected. October 18, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by Gal13 This hotel has great features Love the services, the rooms are a little bite small if you compare to another W hotel wireworld, also love the bliss stuff for the bathroom October 17, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by JoAnn What a disappointment Cant deliver on Starwood promise. 1. Arrived at 5:35pm. - room not available - despite email from Renee about my arrival time. 2. If you like living out of a suitcase and Dontwant to unpack, be aware - no drawers in hotel room. When I inquired, Guest Services said "no hotels in NY have them?.....are you kidding? It may be my first time to this hotel, but I regularly come to Starwood in NY but wanted to try this property. 3. Coffee, tea, or diet coke in room - nope. Minibar half empty and no coffee in room. aghh! If you need caffeine to wake up, not at this hotel.. I wouldn't stay here again. October 14, 2012
Rated 3 out of 5 by Nole95 Experience could have been better The overall cleanliness of our room could have been better. The bed sheets had multiple pieces of hair in it. We had to ask for two of the towels to be changed out and the room was full of dust. I am used to staying at nicer Hotels and I expected more from the W New York. In addition, the service that we received from the front desk on multiple occasions could have been better. October 11, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by CrisB Improvement My stay this time was a big improvement over my last stay in 2009. The staff then was excellent, including and especially the women who checked me in and out. However, the room's toilet had used toilet paper around the rim. This obviously calls into question the entire cleanliness of the room, and whether the staff and management's attention to detail is adequate to running a fine hotel. October 8, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by S1976 Some of the worst experiences ever Location is fine and facilities are acceptable (although at the low end of the range, in particular for that price), rooms are very small. Why WiFi still gets charged at ridicolous rates while every cheap Motel has it for free is beyond my horizon, but that is unfortunately standard in many city hotels. Staff is completely incapable of serving customers: They were not able to put the business adress I provided them with (by way of a business card) on the invoice, neither when I checked in nor when I checked out. Check out took 15 minutes and still the company name is not on the invoice. Staff made no attempt to be helpfull, they didn't care at all. Same experience at breakfast, half of the tables were empty but no one was cleaning them up, everyone was working extra slow but still expecting to be tipped heavily. A hotel I will avoid in the future! October 8, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Cole22 Hotel staff and management are excellent My stay exceeded any and all expectations. I can't express how grateful I am to the staff and management of this hotel. They are wonderful. I would like to personally thank David, Renee, and Katherine. I was celebrating a special occasion and they gave me a beautiful room along with an extremely warm welcome. Comfort and cleanliness impeccable. After a day at Bliss spa, the bed was heavenly. I will definitely be staying at this hotel again, as well as referring it. October 4, 2012
Rated 2 out of 5 by Patrick99 Great location, but NOT W Standards We were traveling to New York to visit friends that were leaving the US, shopping, and enjoy a nice weekend away. We arrived at the hotel just before 9pm and we could not find the valet to take our car. He was not wearing any sort of recognizable uniform. Finally we got our bags, and I had to go inside to find him while leaving my car parked on Lexington Avenue. This was not a very good start. We then waited over 10 minutes before we were helped at the Welcome desk. She told me she was upgrading us to a Spectacular room. I inquired about anything else with my Platinum Status, and she said there was nothing else. We went up to the room and were a bit surprised. The room was NOT a Spectacular room, it was a Wonderful Room (at Best). The view was of a stairwell and another guestroom, where people were "enjoying their evening" right there for everyone to see. I called down to the desk and asked again for an upgrade or to be moved. She said she would look and call me back. The agent called me back and said there was nothing else she could move me into. I had trouble believing that, so I went online and looked and there were other Wonderful Rooms and Mega Rooms for sale on the website (aka, available as it was after 9pm) but the woman at the front desk lied and refused to help. Realizing, I would get nowhere, I emailed customer service and the hotel management asking them to call me on my cell phone, as I would be there for a couple days. During my stay, I received NO phone call, email back, no offer to help, not even an apology or note. We then did not want to stay in the room (it was small, and the view was disturbing) so we went to the lobby bar. We sat in in some of the couches and looked at the drink menu, and waited over 15 minutes, but the cocktail waitress never came by. She walked passed ONCE smiled at us and I waved her over, but she went back into the kitchen and never came out. Finally we went to the bar, and the bartender was saving the seats for someone else! We moved some other stools up to the bar and squeezed into the corner. The drink was NOT to W Standards either. I have stayed at the other W's in New York, and the Downtown bartenders are some of the best in the industry. This one seemed to hate her job. When we checked out, I had been charged for internet (although it was supposed to be free) and the agent kept forgetting to take it off. She has to re-print the bill 3 times. With the line that was there, the entire process took close to a half hour. I am glad I was only going out shopping and not trying to catch a plane. When we left, Lexington Avenue was closed for a street fair, which I know can be difficult on the hotel as their front entrance is not accessible. We had to lug our bags out and around the corner to meet the valet. There was NO offer of assistance from anyone. It then took over 45 minutes for our car to arrive. We left thoroughly disappointed in the W New York. After a couple days, I had still NEVER received a response to my initial email to the hotel management, my initial request for a call back, nor the request I made at check-out. I emailed the hotel again, and again copied Starwood Customer Care. This time I got a quick response and voice mail from Jason, the assistant director of the Welcome office. I am glad that the actual management of the hotel cared enough to respond. Jason apologized and said he "missed" my original requests as the GM was off for the weekend. I find that hard to believe that the GM leaves and nobody checks emails. He offered me a minimal amount of starpoints and offered to upgrade us to a Fantastic Suite next time we came to the hotel. I am due that upgrade as a Platinum member anyway! I had had issues with other W Hotels before, as I know nothing is ever perfect, including a billing issue with the another W Hotel just a week before. They took care of it and certainly exceeded my expectations, but the W New York failed at every moment, even when trying to get a resolution. Beware! October 4, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Courtney824 Fabulous Stay Was very satisfied with our stay at the W NYC. Perfect location. Walking distance to all the great attractions! 5th Avenue, Central park, Time Square, Rockefeller Center, Grand Central Station. We were given an early check in after a red eye at 8am and upgraded to a nicer room for free! Rooms are great, Bliss products in the bathrooms and super modern decor. Bed is ultra comfy, so confy we slept in too late on one day and missed our boat ride we wanted to take. Staff was very friendly, loved everything about our stay. Hope to return soon! October 3, 2012
Rated 1 out of 5 by Regynald hotel room is too small and uncomfortable For dollars spent you can find a much better hotel in NY. Room, shower is too small and unlivable October 3, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Lala22779966 Opera The staff at the W lexington in New York is Great From Freddie who took care of my car and luggage and helped me navigate around the city. To the restaurant staff and checkin process everyone was great! October 2, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Elsie23 I will never stay anywhere else! So happy with this hotel! From a beautiful clean room, attentive and helpful cleaning staff and fantastic reccomendations from concierge..I travel alone for the most part I'm never fully comfortable sleeping in hotel rooms for safety reasons and bed comfort. I wanted to take this bed home! I melted into it each night and slept like a baby!! Safety is not a concern because one of the staff stands by the elevators in the evening to make sure everyone has a room key who is entering. The concierge was sp friendly and gave a fantastic recomendation for an awesome local restaurant. Thank you! Will be back soon!! October 1, 2012

Oregon firearms background check bill could be DOA in Senate
A bill to increase the length of time authorities are given to process background checks for firearm purchases from 3 to 10 days could be dead on arrival in the Oregon Senate.
A bill to increase the length of time authorities are given to process background checks for firearm purchases from 3 to 10 days could be dead on arrival in the Oregon Senate.
Every now and then, an advocate for gun control will express the desire to repeal the Second Amendment.
A measure that aims to shore up the nation's firearms background check system is getting negative feedback from both gun control and gun rights groups.
