The very name Thailand instantly conjures up images of pristine beaches, ornate temples, delicious cuisine and beautiful scenery. Whilst Thailand is now well established on the tourist map, in recent years it has become synonymous with some of Asia�s most stylish, most beautiful and most exclusive resorts. Leading the way in �Asian chic� and with a reputation for excellent service, the Thais now have the experience to create some of the finest properties in the continent, if not the world.
It is not only hotels however which draw travellers from across the globe. Bangkok is emerging as one of the most exciting and stylish cities in Asia. The �City of Angels� offers world class shopping, a huge array of fine dining experiences and some of Asia�s most fashionable night life. In addition to all of this, Bangkok�s culture and history is unmatched; combining golden temples, captivating museums, art exhibitions, dance performances and more.
There still remains much to be explored outside of Thailand�s cities and beaches. The North offers some of Thailand�s most breathtaking scenery with rolling hills, colourful hill tribes, cloudy mountain passes and tiny wooden villages. Head only a few hours out of Chiang Mai, Thailand�s second biggest city, and you can find yourself riding an elephant through lush green jungle or staying in a rustic hill tribe lodge. Chiang Mai itself has some of Thailand�s finest food culture, superb shopping and some truly beautiful temple architecture, all best explored from one of Chiang Mai�s excellent boutique hotels.
Thailand�s North-East also boasts some beautiful national parks with trekking opportunities and picturesque waterfalls. Easily accessible from Bangkok, it is now possible to experience a real adventure without sacrificing luxury. This is the real Thailand, away from the tourist trail undeveloped riverside villages, beautiful scenery and Khmer temples reveal a backwater idyll, a million miles from the modernity of Bangkok. Both Sukhothai and Ayuthaya are essential stops for those wishing to discover more about Thailand�s history, architecture and culture. Both have been declared UNESCO World Heritage sites and their ruined temples and palaces will fascinate visitors.
As for Thailand�s array of beaches, there is surely something to suit every taste. The renowned and opulent resorts that have been popular for so long still offer impeccable service and a fine attention to detail. However it is now possible to experience a Thai beach in a slightly different way � from a minimalist chic room with the latest technology, such as in-room iPod, to an isolated island retreat offering an enticing combination of seclusion and luxury.
Thailand is governed by a tropical weather pattern. Throughout most of Thailand, the months of November to April are warm and dry, with temperatures steadily increasing during this period. The rainy season is traditionally from April (and its arrival is marked by a frenzied annual water festival, Songkran, from 13-15 April) until mid October. During this time, Bangkok, the North and the Andaman Coast in the West of Thailand experience short sharp showers, usually in the afternoon. However, Thailand�s Gulf Coast experiences its monsoon over the winter months of November to January and has fine and dry weather during the summer months, ensuring that Thailand is a suitable destination for travellers year round. With frequent direct flights from the UK and offering some of the best value in Asia, Thailand is understandably a popular destination. Above all, it is the sheer warmth and friendliness of a Thai smile that will keep travellers returning again and again.

Hazmat: New Jersey train derails, toxic spill reported in creek
Published: 30 November, 2012, 17:42
New Jersey train derailment sends chemical tanks into creek (Screenshot from nj1015.com)
A freight train derailment in southern New Jersey has caused a spill of vinyl chloride. Four tank cars were dumped into Mantua Creek, Paulsboro, on Friday and at least one of them is leaking the hazardous material, report local media.
Paulsboro residents are urged to stay indoors with windows and doors closed. A number of people in the immediate area have been evacuated, reports CBS.
Eighteen people are having difficulty breathing, according to the Gloucester County Times. Ambulances have been dispatched.
Firefighters and hazardous materials crews are working at the scene. Officials are trying to determine what the cars were carrying. The US Coast Guard has been notified as the chemical might be leaking into the Delaware River which is nearby.
It is not yet clear what exactly caused the derailment, but images from the scene show a train bridge collapsed while at least two cars plunged into the creek and one got hanging over a trestle. A shiny slick can be seen on the water.
The incident took place just after 7am local time (12pm GMT), Gloucester Office of Emergency Management confirms.
Paulsboro Borough with around 6,000 inhabitants is just over the river from Philadelphia. The area of the incident is described as very industrial though there are some homes as well as Paulsboro High School and Billingsport Elementary School. Roadways leading into the borough with are closed.
Vinyl chloride is a colorless gas with a sweet odor that is easily ignited. The federal Environmental Protection Agency lists the gas as a Group A human carcinogen. It is used to make polyvinyl chloride (PVC) plastic and vinyl products. Short-term exposure to high levels of vinyl chloride in the air has an effect on the central nervous system and can cause drowsiness, dizziness and headaches.

Could be. A few years ago, we had to go to a town that a train derailed and put this in the air and it killed a dozen people. We had to walk and tag each house and business we checked, etc. It was terrible for us, and 100x worse for those that lived there. We spent a few days in that town in our hazmat gear.

I hope they can get that cleaned up as fast as possible. That's gonna kill off any fish in that creek too.

It took us a little over a month to do that without the water contamination being as bad as this.

Its insane, but cleaning up can only do so much
With the spill leaking into the soil and ground. It will not be cleaned at 100%
Thanks to Spyrde/Sylar

It will take time for ground contaminant problems to be resolved.

I think its time that a Well Deserved Salute be given to The Norton Forum Guru's. They are the Unsung heroes that help others on this forum above and beyond their own jobs and families with hardly ever a "Thank you". I wanted to say Thankyou for all the help they have given me as well as everyone else and without them a lot of people would not get the help these tireless group gives, Again Thanks.......Best.....Gorpy1
Hello GORPY1
Thank you for your very nice comments to the Gurus.
Success always occurs in private and failure in full view.
Thank you for expressing your feelings about us ... much appreciated.
+1 here. Thanks Guru's!
Windows 7 x64 SP1 N360v22.214.171.124 NU16 Secunia PSI SpywareBlaster NoScript MBAM free SAS free Hitman Pro
I could not have learned what I have without the Gurus here.
You are the best.
Thank you Gorpy
I don't think any of us do it for the fame and fortune that comes with the star. And, yes, it is great to hear the words 'thank you' when the user has been helped.
I am still learning and expect to keep learning from others for as long as I'm allowed to play here. Should I be able to pass on some of what I learn the circle will be complete.
Thanks for the thanks!
However we are all in this together and I am well aware that I am often helped by, and learn from, others who do not have the Guru title. So my thanks also to all who come here to help.
05-30-2012 07:25 AM - edited 05-30-2012 07:25 AM
I second Andmike's comments. I think the Gurus are fantastic, but the best part is that they're customers just like everyone else. A big thanks to the Gurus, and to everyone else who loves helping others.
Thanks GORPY1!
I am like the others, I am not here for the fame and the fortune (well said Dick, we need to talk to Tony about a raise), the notoriety (that yank don't know squat), the STAR (even if tarnished), the title of GURU (nothing but a polite name for someone who thinks he knows it all and gets it right every once in awhile) and until I get fired (for not playing nicely with others) - I will continue to gladly accept all the Thanks that is bestowed on me, wear my STAR proudly and continue to help others as best I can.
You see I am self-taught. I picked up a lot from other forums and users when I was younger. Now that I am older (OK much older), I feel it is my turn to somehow try to return the assistance that I was afforded in the past.
I think it is also appropriate to extend my thanks to the Norton employees who visit the forums and supply much of the background info that we'd all miss out on if it weren't for their expertise/knowledge.
Also there are users that regualrly reply on the forum, supplying their assistance to others and they are currently where all the Guru's were at one time.
So thanks to all who post.
I'd like to reverse the compliment and say that it's the users that make me want to keep on trying to help ..... sure there are always a few of the "awkward squad" but that's not limited to the users .... <g>
Also I'd add a big Rah Rah for the Norton Staff so many of whom spend what is laughingly called their free time here and are actually involved in conceiving, writing and QCing the programs. Without them this place would be totally different.
So thanks to everyone .....

When Wisconsin's Gov. Scott Walker fought off a tough recall effort earlier this year, he did so with the National Rifle Association's political backing as well as $10,000, thanks to his work expanding gun rights in the state.
The NRA, the most well-known gun rights advocate and lobbying group, is in the spotlight following last week's shootings at the elementary school in Newton, Connecticut, that killed 20 children and six adults.
Since then, there's been a public outcry to curb gun ownership. President Obama has tapped Vice President Joe Biden to lead a task force to produce proposals on gun law reform within weeks.
The NRA has also scheduled a news conference on Friday saying in a statement it is "prepared to offer meaningful contributions to help make sure this never happens again."
The NRA's clout in Washington is well known. With its ability to mobilize 4 million members to the polls, the NRA has garnered big victories on gun rights at the federal level.
Much of gun regulation, however, happens at the state level, where the NRA wields even more power, especially in parts of the country with large populations of registered hunters and gun users.
The NRA and its campaign arm, the Political Victory Fund, have given nearly $3 million to state-level campaigns, political committees, and candidates over the past nine years, according to the National Institute on Money in State Politics, a watchdog group. That doesn't include hundreds of thousands of dollars spent on lobbying various state legislatures in the same period.
The money has helped win owners expanded rights to carry guns outside of their home in 41 states, more than double the number from two decades ago.
Also, just in the last seven years, the NRA reports some 30 states have adopted a version of the "stand your ground" law where gun owners can use "deadly force" to defend themselves when they feel threatened.
The NRA, which has kept a low profile since the shootings, didn't return a request for comment.

Can hacking ever produce something beautiful? If you dig yourself out of 4chan from time to time you might find gems like this incredibly detailed map of the internet that shows not visualizes when people are logging in but also changes in traffic patterns over time. It's a feat that required hacking over 420,000 computers to report the relevant data. The resultant map is both beautiful and fascinating to look at, but I'm not quite sure if the ends justify the means in this case ;)

I'm familiar with the concept of going around in circles, but this circular pedestrian bridge in Lujiazui, China takes it to quite literal proportions. Designed as a pedestrian overpass to avoid traffic at a busy round-about terminus, several axial arms also provide access to the Oriental Pearl Tower, a transit station, and office buildings in addition to the more pedestrian destination of a sidewalk. Standing 20 feet above the street and able to accomodate 15 people walking abrest, it's become quite the attraction since it's construction. Who want's to bet there's a XM Portal right in the center? ;)

Mmm, having no text limits means I can do something like posting Cassandra's Tears, Issue 8 here ;)
Penny waited, arms crossed, in the cold holding cell. Her foot tapped a beat on the floor. Six hours and fifteen minutes passed since guards dumped her in this chair.
The lock on the door thudded before it screeched open. An officer entered and Penny snapped to attention. She couldn't identify any unit or division designation among the medals and bars. His tag said Darrow. He barely acknowledged her, his attention keenly focused on the files scrolling across the Glas in his hand.
"At ease." Darrow slid into the seat. Penny sat down. After a few more moments, he laid the Glas on the table and lifted his crystal blue eyes to look at her. "Quite a spot of trouble you're in, Lieutenant."
"Permission to speak freely, sir."

January 11, 2013
I went into David's Bridal with a vague vision of what I wanted. After trying on several dresses, I knew I wanted something simple, flattering, unique, with just the right amount of sparkles! My mom and I both happened to pick out this dress from the rack, but we were not sure about the sweetheart neckline. The second it was on my body in the dressing room, I knew it was right! Looking in the mirror, I saw it was exactly what I was looking for!! It is so beautiful! The picture on the website does not do the dress ANY justice. I cannot wait to get the dress altered and to wear it on our special day!! :)

Types of Intermatic Timers
Intermatic timers come in a variety of forms for different uses. Determining which timer is suitable for your needs is important to consider before you purchase your timer box.
Standard "little yellow" Timers are very basic units which are based on the same design since the 1940's. Suitable to controls several voltage levels (mostly 110V / 220V), and several connected devices. Standard Intermatic timers are meant for indoor installation where exposure to water and excessive moisture is not a problem.
Standard Intermatic timers may include mechanic and electronic timed switches, rugged exterior, and come in 24 hour, 7 day, or 365 day timer formats. Irrigation timers have a more advanced time sequence, allowing timed controls in smaller intervals such as 1 minute, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10, 30, 60, etc. Intermatic timers designed for Irrigation often are encased in a waterproof enclosure to prevent electrical shock when irrigating.

Friends Who Make It Rain Together: Luda and Monica Spend $10K at The Strip Club
We're not sure how much of that $10,000 came out of whose wallet, but we bet the majority of the cash was courtesy of "Southern Hospitality" rapper Ludacris.'
Wednesday night, he and his lady, Eudoxie, Monica, rapper Lil Scrappy, and DJ Infamous made it rain car payments, house notes, and school loans at Diamonds of ATL in the good ol' dirty.
Though we've seen time and time again, Atlanta entertainers feel there's no need for a special occasion to prove it ain't trickin' on strippers if you got it, the A-listers did come out for a purpose that night. They were there to celebrate Imfamouses' 10-year anniversary as a DJ.
As you can see from the pics, the dancers weren't the only ones working up a sweat. Luda was clearly perspiring over all of the T&A surrounding him, or perhaps it was the thought of dropping that kind of cash when he hasn't had an album release or movie role in years. What he did have was a book bag stuffed with singles strapped tightly to his chest to make sure the strippers were the only one's who reaped what he sowed. TMZ also has more pics of the hilarious expressions on his face as he threw out cash. He clearly had a good night.
FYI, if Ludacris becomes one of those dudes crying broke 10 years from now, these photos will be thrown back in his face. Also, Monica's hubby Shannon Brown was nowhere to be found which makes me wonder if she don't play that.

Referee Mark Clattenburg has no case to answer in relation to a complaint from Chelsea that he used racist language towards one of their players during a Premier League game.
The English Football Association (FA) announced Thursday that their probe into the incident found Clattenburg did not say "shut up you monkey" to midfielder Jon Obi Mikel, as had been claimed by another of their players, Ramires.
And while the official has been completely exonerated, the FA insisted that Chelsea and Ramires, who is the only player to have heard the alleged comment, were right to report the matter.
The FA also confirmed Mikel has been charged for his conduct after the game against Manchester United on October 28 when he went into the officials' changing room to confront Clattenburg.
The referee, who has not taken charge of a game since the incident, said in a statement he hoped "no referee has to go through this in the future."
A statement on the FA's website read: "Having considered all of the available evidence it was the opinion of David Waters QC, independent counsel, that the evidence of Ramires was not supported by any other evidence.
"Moreover it was contradicted by other witnesses and does not cross the evidential threshold required to bring a charge against Mark Clattenburg.
"Having considered Counsel's opinion, and in view of all the circumstances of the case, the FA does not believe that there is a case for Mr Clattenburg to answer.
"Equally the FA is satisfied that the allegation against Mark Clattenburg by Ramires was made in good faith. It is entirely possible for a witness to be genuinely mistaken and convincing in his belief."
The head of the Professional Game Match Officials, who organize England's referees, said they would be recording all communication between the referee and players in future.

A fan was killed and another injured after a driver opened fire on French Montana's tour bus, which was surrounded by fans, in Philadelphia on Thursday night.
According to TMZ, French was riding his tour bus after his performance at Philly's Theatre of Living Arts, and as it pulled up in front of a Holiday Inn Express with a group of fans following behind, a car drove by and opened fire.
TMZ reports that two men were hit: a 27-year-old who later died, and a 29-year who was shot in the shoulder. It's unclear who was the target, but police told TMZ that it appeared to be a dispute between two groups of fans, and that the rapper was not involved.
French, who is currently on his first headlining tour, posted a photo on Instagram shortly after the shooting showing a person seemingly being questioned by police. The rapper included the caption, "nobody got time for this sh*t."
The shooting comes just one month after French's MMG label head, Rick Ross, dodged bullets in an apparent drive-by shooting in Florida.
The next stop on French's tour, promoting his debut album Excuse My French, is Boston's Brighton Music Hall on Friday night.

Debra S. Romero, of Third Street, was arrested at 11:14 a.m. Monday. Police responded to a call about a hit and run accident in the area of Shoney's Restaurant, according to police. Police discovered that a vehicle had struck a guide wire to a utility pole causing damage to the vehicle, the pole and some electrical services in the area. Officers investigating the crash found out the identity of the driver of the vehicle.
Officers located the driver and interviewed Romero. She was taken to jail and then released on bail.
When the car hit the pole, it caused the transformer at Taco Bell to blow up and catch fire causing the circuit to go down, said city utilities director Bill Cefalu. The circuit that went down included the areas along Railroad Avenue down Ditch Avenue to U.S. 90 including Brashear Avenue and Front Street.
The Morgan City Fire Department responded to the transformer fire at Greenwood Street with eight firefighters at 10:30 a.m. and extinguished the fire, returning to the station by 11:30 a.m., said Fire Chief Morris Price. No injuries were reported as a result of the fire, he said.
Power was restored to the circuit within an hour, Cefalu said.
City utility workers then changed out the transformers at Taco Bell after the circuit was back on. Two other transformers also got burnt when the vehicle hit the pole, he said.
Taco Bell's power was back on by 7 p.m.
"They worked on that most of the day. I don't think they had Taco Bell back on until about 6, 7 o'clock that night," Cefalu said.

Title: | 0.18μm phase/frequency detector and charge pump design for digital video broadcasting for handheld's phase-locked-loop systems |
Author: | Al Sabbagh, Mhd Zaher |
Description: | A Phase/Frequency Detector and Charge Pump design is proposed in this paper. The design is used to be implemented for a frequency synthesizer for digital video broadcasting for hand held devices. The schematic designs of the circuits are implemented using TSMC 0.18μm CMOS technology. Two phase/frequency detector are proposed in this paper to show the effect of the dead zone on the performance of the frequency synthesizer. The main propose of these two PFD is to reach a low p[power consumption and small dead zone which was achieved by the second design where the current consumption is 3.4μA and the dead zone is 20ps. Next this paper will cover the design of a conventional charge pump which uses two 500μA switched current sources to charge up and down a capacitance load. At the end this paper will shows the simulation result of the PFD/CP system in typical situation and also the simulation result using Monte carol method to check the performance of the circuit in nontypical situation like different temperature or supply voltage variation. |

Her career in homicide has taken her into the darkest depths of New York City's underground - and sometimes Lieutenant Eve Dallas feels more comfortable in those kinds of places than in the high-rise, high-society world of her billionaire husband, Roarke. But while she's no party girl, she's managing to have a reasonably good time at the celebrity-packed bash celebrating the debut of The Icove Agenda. This time it's Eve, not Roarke, who's a guest of honor, since the film is based on one of her famous cases. Her partner, Peabody, is practically giddy over rubbing shoulders with Hollywood royalty. Eve, on the other hand, is more likely to roll her eyes than have stars in them. But she has to admit it's a little spooky seeing the actress playing her, who looks almost like her long-lost twin. Not as unsettling, though, as seeing K. T. Harris, the actress who plays Peabody - drowned in the lap pool on the roof of the director's luxury building. Talented but rude, and widely disliked, K.T. had made an embarrassing scene during dinner. She clearly liked being the center of attention. Now she's at the center of a crime scene - and Eve is more than ready to get out of her high heels and strap on her holster, to step into the role she was born to play: cop.

"Susan Ericksen is amazing!"
I've always found that the audio versions of the J.D. Robb books are more enjoyable to listen to over read due to Ericksen's narration.
Such a great, fun story (aside from the pesky murders). After a few darker entries into this series, this book really brings out what you love about the characters involved and I caught myself laughing out loud more than once.
Susan Ericksen really outdoes herself on this one. Any potential pitfalls with the character v. actor voices confusing the listener are non-existent (I especially thought the Rourke v. non-Rourke voices are very well done).
She's such a pleasure to listen to.
I'm a librarian, knitter, crochetter... I love audiobooks because I can knit and "read" at the same time.
"Another score for J.D. Robb!"
I'm always waiting for the next installment of the In Death series, and as soon as it is possible I download it. I simply love it!
The narration by Susan Ericksen is great. She does a great work distinguishing the voices of the characters, and after so many books is great to hear them back...
It is one more good book for this series.
"Another Winner!"
Not a bad one in the bunch and this was no exception. I love this series, I love the narrator. Only bad thing is now I probably have to wait a year for another one.
"Go Peabody!! Another great one!"
Susan Ericksen is so talented, and JD Robb is magic! Between the two of them, I loved all of it, and especially enjoyed Peabody's story, her strengths and her humor. Of course Eve and Rouke, but Peabody was a stand out in this one!
somewhat of a SPOILER but Peabody's interview of the
You know who is who with out of the writer telling you so, Susan give each person their own personality!
Peabody chat with Eve about her trip to Dallas and how she handled it.
I enjoy this series so much!! I hope that Nora, umm, I mean JD Robb doesn't stop writing them, and that Susan will always be the Narrator, can't imagine ANYONE else doing them!
"The Bar is set very high for J D Robb books"
Enjoyable, predictable, slow
I always enjoy more of the major characters although I do not enjoy the fighting between Eve and Roark. I like to wonder what's happening with the subplots of Roark's family in Ireland and would like to see Eve and Sommerset get a little closer even in their adversary ways. This story is not in my opinion as good as previous but as I said, the bar is set so high it is hard to top. At her worst Robb is better than most. As an aside, the narrator is the best in the business and makes all Robb's characters have their own individual and unique personalities. I eagerly await each and every book.
As above, I think Ericksen makes the books just that much better. She is an exceptional reader and she makes each character special. Love her
Not as much as many others. I have cried or laughed a lot in other books in the series but not in this one. Nothing very moving. I never felt close to any of the characters introduced in this book other than our familiar favorites.
There has never been an
"Nice visit with the usual suspects"
After so many years with these characters it's always interesting to hear more about their lives.
This won't be my favorite installment in the series. It may only seem like a less interesting story after the personal and intense 'New York to Dallas' but I also got a bit tired of the suspecting and discarding of each of the potential killers. The pattern of suspect and discard gets to be predictable/boring but forgivable with a good twist. There was no wow in this twist.
I absolutely adore Susan as a narrator, especially the fact that Nora and the producers of the audio books have chosen to keep the same reader for the entire series. I love that I recognize the voices of the characters.
I find it curious that Susan reads typos as they are printed. In other books, earlier in the series, I've read over typos or dialogue attributed to the wrong character and then heard Susan read it exactly as written. I'm surprised that Susan or the director doesn't take the opportunity to make a correction. Interesting.
Thank you, Nora and Susan!
I would have but the schedule didn't allow that much time. I listened to this book in three sittings.
I'll listen to any story that Nora cares to write. This is one of my favorite series and favorite ensemble of characters.
"Not as Good"
I found this book to be boring most of the time. Too much dialogue. I enjoy the whole team and when they are left out of a story I am disappointed. The plot seemed to be a little too unbelievable. I love the series, but was disappointed in this book.
"I couldn't NOT like this one..but"
I have to first say that I have ALL audiobooks in this series and absolutely cherish all of them. As I have listened through 30 some books (and most twice). I never tire from the characters. Well, that is after all a large part of the series. Without loveable characters, why bother.And because I love this series so much I could never give it less than four stars, but this time maybe I should have done three. I guess because I felt there was too much of the interviews, and not enough emphasis on the story and/or side stories as I've liked in past books. It was a bit repetitive at times and there was not enough suspense.That being said, I did enjoy it very much. Also, I LOVE SUSAN. She is such an amazing talent...if she ever bailed out of doing the narration, the audio version of this series would be dead to me. No one could ever replace Susan.
Nora does her research. The investigative details and how cops work just adds to the authenticity of the stories. I find it very interesting and informative.
Susan can do no wrong. She is by far one of the best narrators and most talented vocalists. The only time I've every had an issue is around books 12 or 13 I think when her voices were off -- Peabody's voice was almost non-discernible. The only minor thing I noticed in this one is that she seems to be narrating a bit too slowly, and trying to articulate more than than is necessary.
"Characters come back like good friends"
After some 30+ books, they keep coming back like old friends. I can't wait for Dallas & Peabod's next adventure!
Robb never disappoints.
I would watch every one if she were to make a movie of Dallas & Peabody
Lol. Write faster

Thank You

Please keep the leaderboards legit!! lets make this a respectful community! I had chats with Notorious P O H who is #1 in domination and we would both hate to see all our LEGIT hard work go to waste!
Or i dont know youcouldl get a life, its leader boards no one cares but the otehr 15 year olds that think its awesome.
Stop hating cause your not on there
See now you are just showing you are underage. I could care less if i am on the leaderboards in the least. I does not get you ahead in life, 10 years when you go out on your first date, it wont get you to first base, saying "Baby I am 10 on the leader boards" wont impress her, you cant put it on a resume, it will not help you get a job, once you get to highschool no one there will care either. You are putting so much emphasis on something that does not matter to any one else but the other 15 year olds that don't have to go out side, have no job, no life.
We all play the game. Some of us are competitive and use the leaderboard as a goal in multiplayer. So let me get this straight the only people who care about their position on the leader board are underage kids with no life? The same can be said about everyone who stood in line for hours to get the game on launch, it doesn't make it true. I'm a 25 year old collage student with a girlfriend and a job and i still care about the leaderboard. If i am going to put the time into playing a game then i would expect it to be a fair game.
So what about the people who care about their kdr? Or their W/l? Are they all underage losers as well?
Take yourself off your homemade pedestal.
No not all who care about leader boards have no life, those that feel they have to come on here and go omg i deserve to keep my spot while nameing other ppl are more then likely 15 and have no life. An adult would realize its not the end of the world would report them with the report feature or what ever is in place. There is no need to make name and shame threads about the leader boards. As for kd wlr and all the other stats, nothing wrong with it, nothing wrong with careing about it, but when it consumes your life and you just have to make threads about how awesome you are or how bad some one else is that does not point to you are a normal functioning adult.
Ah yes, i do agree with you then.
Thank you. I guess I was a little not too clear on my first post. No one wants to be cheated, wants cheaters on anything. That being said as an adult it happens i would guess on all FPS games, so you know its going to happen, If you are good you know it, there is no need to make all the omg leader boards boosters topics. Also the use of xxinsert some name xx i dont think is popular passed middle school so its pretty telling as well.
Omg jay you have no Idea what your talking about you're just upset! if you dont care then why are you commenting?? thank you avenged <3 hit me up if u ever wanna play!

Again your age prevents you from seeing the point i am making. Its ok when you age about 10 years you will understand.
Let people do what they want! No one cares what you have to say!! Leaderboards proves who the best in the world is and I understand you dont care but some of us do... and to say that we're all immature and stuff is pathetic!
You are immature and underage. That is my point. I didnt say all ppl that care about leader boards are imature, i was mearly pointing out that you are immature. Not every one else just you personaly.
You don't know me why dont you grow up!!! lmfao im immature? sorry i wanna keep the game legit...
Come on IW do something about this sh*t
They'll fix it when you twats with "xx" in your username get some originality, aka never.
who cares if there boosting...every1 knows that the top 1000 players in a month are all going to be hackers

I absolutely love BBQ....ribs, pulled pork, pulled chicken, 1/2 chicken, brisket, etc. The meat is cooked low and slow and falls off the bone and is super juicy. I am getting hungry just thinking about it.
Most restaurants BBQ their meats with their own special rubs and sometimes BBQ sauce and then top it off with additional BBQ sauce. Most BBQ sauce contains tons of sugar from a variety of sources but if you ask for it dry they won't add more BBQ sauce. With that said, how paleo is traditional BBQ if you ask for it dry knowing the meat is probably cooked with some sugar in the rub and definitely sugar in the BBQ sauce.
It also begs to question if there are any other known non-paleo ingredients in the rub or sauces?

UNION — State Rep. Mike Anthony called on teachers to rally together during a meeting on Saturday morning.
Delta Kappa Gamma — a professional honorary society of women educators promoting excellence in education — met at Foster Park Elementary School on Saturday morning for breakfast. The guest speaker for the event was Anthony, who is a former educator himself.
"Educating our children should not be a partisan issue," Anthony said. "It shouldn't be about Republicans or Democrats."
Anthony discussed what he called a divide in the state — money vs. education for children.
"I'm sick and tired of people being elected to these positions who have never been in a classroom," he said. "They (legislators) don't understand what you're going through. They don't understand the makeup of the classroom."
Anthony passionately spoke about the evaluation of teachers, pointing out that the profession is a subjective one and teachers should not be rated or given letter grades.
"How many evaluations have we had?" Anthony asked the room, mentioning evaluations from the past such as PET, UTEP and ATP.
"And how many of you teachers have been asked for input? That's where we mess up."
Anthony suggested that teachers should be evaluated by other teachers.
"Let Charleston teachers come up here and us go down there," he said. "Who knows better than teachers? It's not simple to evaluate."
Superintendent Dr. Kristi Woodall — who was also present Saturday morning — weighed in on teacher evaluations.
"Teacher evaluations are difficult to define," she said. "The current ADEPT model is a sound one. Some teachers' performance can be measured by achievement gains of students. Many teachers instruct in fields or grades that are not tested by South Carolina, however. The method for performance tracking for such subjects in the new model has no answer at this point."
Anthony said he also supports common-core standardized testing since currently, the rigor of standardized testing varies from state to state.
"Why compare state to state until we have one test?" he asked.
Anthony also said he is a big proponent of year-round school — an idea in which school would be in session for nine weeks, then out of session for three weeks, giving students and teachers three-week vacations throughout the year rather than one longer vacation in the summer. He said that back when legislators were looking at the idea, they received protest from people in the Myrtle Beach area who began a "S.O.S. — Save Our Summers" campaign.
Anthony said that being a former coach, he believes people need to be motivated. He suggested that during year-round school, students who do not pass could be required to come back for remediation during two of their three vacation weeks, which he believes would serve as major motivation.
Anthony also touched on other problems in the school system. He mentioned that Act 388 benefited Union County with a windfall of $2.5 million, but tied the hands of local school boards. Woodall offered explanation of Act 388.
"Act 388 basically limited tax increases on the operations side so when we had budget cuts recently, we could not adjust taxes," Woodall said. "Union has declining enrollment. To raise operations revenue, a district has to be a growing one."
Anthony did point out positives, however, as he praised the employees of the Union County School District.
"Dr. Zais said his jaw dropped over what's going on here," Anthony said. "Y'all need to be patted on the back, too."
Anthony was referring to Zais' visit to Union County Schools on Dec. 4 during which he made stops at Monarch Elementary, Foster Park Elementary and Sims Middle School. Zais remarked that Union County proves that poverty does not prevent academic success.
"We have never used that as an excuse to lower our expectations for student learning and achievement here," Woodall said.
Before he closed, Anthony revisited his original point — that education of children is not a partisan issue. He referred to educators as a "sleeping giant" in terms of voting, pointing out that 30 percent of teachers in the state were not even registered to vote during the last election.
"If we as teachers rallied together, we could determine who is serving in this state, just by the numbers," Anthony said. "Our problems are not going to be solved until we understand and motivate our teachers that they are the ones who can make it happen. The priorities we set cannot be in ideology — we've got to be more focused on our own community."
"Don't vote for an 'R' or a 'D' — vote for your best interests as a teacher," he added.

Does anyone know anything about Gnyanam Academy? If this student is home schooled, is that just a nickname for their teacher?
Posted by Anonymous, a resident of another community, on Jan 24, 2013 at 10:43 am
In CA the parent creates a Private School and the homeschooled student attends that private school.

Eat your heart out Skelly.
Posted by Gaby, a member of the Palo Alto High School community, on Jan 24, 2013 at 12:21 pm
When I lived in another city in the 90s, I had a neighbor who homeschooled her two sons. However, she had a teaching credential and previous experience teaching in elementary schools on the east coast. By the time she transitioned her sons into middle school, they were light years ahead of the other middle schoolers. She ended up transferring them to a private school,nowhere they were placed one year ahead of their supposed grade levels.
However, I have also seen learning disabled kids homeschooled by parents who really did not have a clue, and it was disastrous, ending with unemployable kids who were not able to live independently.
By definition, attending the Gnyanam Academy is not homeschooling.
Posted by RussianMom, a resident of the Old Palo Alto neighborhood, on Jan 24, 2013 at 4:38 pm
By all means! CONGRATULATIONS to one smart kid!
Homeschooled or not. Nothing to do with Skelly. Homeschooling is not for everybody and academic component is not the only requirement for being successful in life.
We all choose what feets our family style best.
Posted by Homeschooling Parent, a resident of Stanford, on Jan 24, 2013 at 11:22 pm
"By definition, attending the Gnyanam Academy is not homeschooling."
It is if that's the name of your family's private school (created specifically for the purpose of registering as a homeschool family with the state).
Congratulations Sahana and all the best for the final round of competition!

Gnyananm is a Tamil (Indian) word that could mean intellect, intelligence, sixth-sense, wisdom, insight.
Posted by Mark, a resident of another community, on Mar 15, 2013 at 8:50 am
This is great. How do the home-schooled kids fare when they go to the University or in the workplace where they have to work with people from different culture/up bringing as they have zero exposure to the real world. What are their chances of survival in the real world? Will they end up as loners without knowing how to interact with others?

I bought this for my son (a helicopter pilot) for Christmas. It broke on the first try! The rear blades wouldn't work and the wheels fell off. If a 22 year old can't use it, it is doomed. Online reviews say the same thing I should have checked first.

More suggestions for free-player limitations: Resolution limited to 1024x768 Audio in mono only; no stereo Can't remap controls Must play and win a space mission between every travel point
I really like that last one - since you're limited in how many space missions you can do that would really provide incentive for people to sub. The first one is a bit harsh - maybe if you just limited the aspect ratio to only allow 4:3 resolutions - widescreen is a privelege, not a right.
They sent me a mailer telling me I got free CARTEL COINZ but I had to resubscribe to get them... derp.
More details: http://www.darthhater.com/articles/swtor-news/22284-bioware-press-q-a-reveals-free-to-play-launching
I might actually give it a shot now that it's going free-to-play. I played my one month when I got the game back in like April and then dropped it; but without a sub I might be tempted to keep it around on the ol' HDD. Any idea if it has a Mac client?
I don't know if it is accurate.. but the low rumor is Nov 15 is the same day NGE launched and the laughter is loud.
I can see how this would be funny, considering how they're completely similar events and the gameplay of SWTOR is going to be changed in a way that alienates all current subscribers.
Well, I guess all bets are off on what they can or can't deem to be monetizable, but you'll be able to pay money to have your lightsaber be an ax.
This seems pretty comprehensive: http://www.swtor-spy.com/guides/swtor-cartel-market-calculator/2769/ My general feeling is that things are mostly priced a little too high. Subscribing is just a miles better value than trying to screw around with the store, which I suppose is intentional, but I can't help but think they'd make more money if everything was about 20% less.
Though pricing it there gives them the opportunity to run sales, like LOTRO does. I imagine the psychological aspect of the discount could help stimulate sales.
The SWTORSpy site that Ingmar linked indicates that there are unlocks you can buy that are account-wide, but I didn't see anything like that in the store. Which means if I want more quickslots for each character, I need to buy one for EACH CHARACTER. I had been playing on the free trial system -- where you could play for free up to level 15 -- and interestingly all four of my characters are available and appear playable despite the fact that some of them are races that are not allowed to free players, and that I'm only supposed to have two character slots. It did indicate that I was using 4 of 2 available slots, meaning if I want to create a new character I'd need to buy 3 more slots, not 1 more. If I'd been clever I would have created one character of each class on this account prior to the changeover!
I haven't been in game yet to see but I'm guessing they're hiding on a separate tab or something. On the character slots, they said they were giving all the F2P people a grace period on their extra characters - presumably until they get additional slots into the store, you can't buy those yet.
Oh, I see. What will they do when the grace period ends? Will I have to select which characters to use my slots on, sort of like what City of Heroes did when it went F2P?
I just logged in for the first time and as a subscriber and boy is the cartel store underwhelming. Also, the Party Jawa is the dumbest fucking thing ever. This is why you don't put rewards up for voting on Facebook.
Yes, while it's annoying that after seven months of development they didn't add a speeder to drop you after Zorn and Toth in NiEC (you know, the way they for the first boss in the actual new raid), the upshot is that the Jawa is ready for most every pull on the tanks, so that's not so bad.
Pro tip if you find the Cartel Icon annoyingly glaring (like I did when I first logged in): In interface editor set alpha to lowest setting, and set scale to smallest scale. I hardly noticed it aftwards. I THINK you can still use interface editor without subscribing, just can't use quickbars without purchase. PS: found it funny (humorus) that "Hide Head Slot" had to be purchased if you're not a subscriber.
If I haven't played before, want to screw around a bit and check out F2P, don't expect to play much but would like the option of hooking up with BF'ers occasionally, what server should I be on?
The Harbinger, guild is Tatooine Royal Navy. I think everyone has /ginvite rights, so just ask anyone you see online.
Neopythia and I think one other (maybe more?) are on an East Coast RP server. No idea where Ingmar is.
Yeah, Ing and I were on Shien and got merged on over to Ebon Hawk. I'd list all my names, but there are a lot of them. :P
I think I'm over it already. It's just so, so WoW-like. The story sequences aren't carrying it for me like I thought they would, and the gameplay is just incredibly bland.
Sounds like everyone is on Ebon Hawk. Add me to friends lists! My main is Zette. (Was Zett before the server merge. Got up at 6am launch day for nothing. Thanks Bioware!) Lately I've been playing my agent: Rence. I have many, many others, but those are the main two right now. What class are you playing OrfBC ? The story quality varies tremendously between the classes. It's been awhile, so here is my updated story ranking: Imperial Agent Sith Warrior* Jedi Knight* Jedi Consular* Smuggler* Trooper Bounty Hunter Sith Inquisitor *Completed I think a case could be made for either SW or Agent as the best story. I've only just started Chapter 2, so a lot could happen, but there is a clear drop from that tier to Jedi Knight, and another below Jedi Knight. Consular and Smuggler are serviceable. Trooper hasn't grabbed me thus far, and Bounty Hunter is such a paint by the numbers obvious storyline it can't rate higher. Sith Inquisitor is hands down the dumbest story. It's so bad by SI is at level 45 and I can't muster the energy to finish. I just don't care what happens.
It works out that in order to play through your story you actually have to spend 95% of the time doing things that have nothing to do with your story at all. Of the 5% of the game that is your actual story quest, I'd say 80% of it is filler designed to slow your progress. So the good part of the game, the part I think works fabulously well, is only 1% of the game as presented. That works for some people - if anything the drudgery you spend most of your time doing makes those little tidbids of awesome stand out even more. The funny thing, to me at least, is that it's a game that probably has 2,000 hours worth of content spread across the eight classes. Take the 1% of distilled awesome out of it and you'd still have 20 hours of pure awesome. They could have diluted the pool maybe 3-5x and had a solid 60-100 hours worth of game here that would feel like it was wall-to-wall amazing in spite of the WoW-ness and lack of originality in the gameplay. Instead it's a homeopathic remedy that has about the same degree of efficacy (which isn't to say some folks don't swear by it).
There are isolated pockets of awesome outside the character arcs. In fact last night, in the background of one bonus series cutscene, a droid was stomping on an npc's head. Which was the last thing I expected to see.
Consular, and I didn't get very far at all. I guess I was hoping for more of an exciting single player RPG style kind of opening, when instead you get a conversation with your master followed by talking to Jedi holograms about your school curriculum. I got to the Jedi Temple, just wasn't feeling it at all, and stopped. It was just all so bog standard MMO, and I was expecting some more flashy scripted sequences, if that makes sense. How's Secret World in that way? It sounds super interesting with its hunting the web, etc, but SWTOR sounded super interesting with its Bioware RPG trappings too.
I'm with you on the WoWness and bland. Add into that several times running into the non-subscriber penalties in the first ten levels buzz kill. You'd think they'd want the beginning of the game to be as hassle free as possible and then slam on the brakes and make you cough up some dough. I'm seriously considering subbing for a couple of months (which for EA is mission accomplished I guess) just to burn through the stories then deleting the game. But I won't feel good about it.
The consular is often considered one of the worst, and I can tell you it doesn't get any better over the course of the first act. The Imperial Agent was a vast improvement and the early level stuff was quite fun before enemies started getting high levels of HP again and every mob became a tedious grind.
The consular story is super slow-burn, and tries to set you up as an important character to the setting in your own right (as compared to the smuggler, bounty hunter, and inquisitor storylines, which are much more self-contained). The problem is that you're offered all of these sweeping, setting-changing decisions that can't possibly be reflected in the game. Decide to kill off a third of the Jedi Order to contain an unstoppable evil? The entire acknowledgement of this is a mail from an NPC. You get a special title that has apparently only ever been awarded twice before... except for every other Consular you see on the fleet. It's a shame that the Consular story sucks so hard, because Shadow is the most fun I had with any class in the game. I was having a lot of fun with Trooper, because it at least offered distinct villains you could give a shit about, until about level 35ish, when you just win. The third act is about some Imperial guy I'm supposed to care about I guess because he's a general? It doesn't even segue, it's just "You beat them, here's your promotion, on to new business." I don't even know.

My son got married a few months back. They have no video from the reception (and you can't shoot video in LDS Temples), but my brother-in-law took lots of beautiful photos.
One aspect of VS that I've always enjoyed is turning a video or photo into art with their filters. This is a portion of the slideshow that I created for my son and his wife where I turn their photos into portraits.
P.S. I tried putting it up on VEOH but I was unhappy with the quality and it just couldn't seem to handle the transitions.

Controller Family Tree
Up and up we grow
Who created the very first video game is largely debated, but one thing is certain: all of our favorite systems grew from that seed, watered by the passion of programmers and artists.
Read more...Up and up we grow
When we were wee geeklings, we had to feign legitimate illness and hope our parents didn't take the controllers to work with them if we wanted to spend weekdays playing the latest video games. In normal workplaces, Monday is the day folks call in sick. But here, it's Tuesdays. It is not uncommon for certain ThinkGeek monkeys to call in sick on a big release day. Depending on platform, you can tell which subgroup of employees will be taking PTO (Played Time Off). Somehow that's okay because we're grown-ups now. That and the boss does it, too. Like a boss, baybee. Like a boss.
The Controller Family Tree composed of controllers and all their (once) requisite cables printed on a green, 100% cotton t-shirt.
