The best thing about WashU is that everyone is so willing to help you in your endeavors. My four year advisor will help me with any problem I am having, even if it does not pertain to school. ResLife was helpful for me too- I had to move dorms mid-year and they helped me and allowed me to choose exactly where I needed to move. When I tell people I go to WashU they usually have no clue what I'm talking about. There is not much school pride, but I'm okay with that. It fits me that it's not a major sports school. The fact that we don't have much school pride just shows how mellow we are. I would say we have pride in the fact that we go to WashU. I rarely hear major complaints about the school; everyone seems pretty happy with going to WashU, and I'd call that having school pride of sorts. I think WashU's administration is fabulous. They are so friendly and seem concerned about the students, more so than when I talk to my friends from other schools. For example, I would feel that I could drop a class if I said I was having psychological issues, yet one of my friends at a state school wasn't allowed to drop a class when she needed to use that reason.

Best thing about Wash.U.: Friday night basketball games. Yeah, it's D3, but we have a blast. The school is also a great size and very geared toward the undergraduate population which is awesome School pride is big, though not necessarily in the athletics sense. That said, basketball games have gotten huge in the last couple years and are incredibly fun. Without D1 sports, though, people just aren't gonna get hopped up for games other than hoops. I wish kids were a bit more socially and emotionally intelligent. We have some of the most book smart people in the world, but they often don't have a clue as to how to interact or think outside of their narrow academic boxes.

I enjoy it when people ask me where I go to school, only to discover they've never heard of Wash U. I live three hours away, yet plenty of people from home don't know Wash U is in St. Louis. I'm glad that I can be proud of where I go to school, but at the same time I don't seem like I'm bragging by telling people where I go. The biggest recent controversy on campus was a student movement against the administration to bring presidential candidates to campus to speak for free. The administration cited legal and logistical reasons for not allowing Barack Obama to come speak. While these are probably very legitimate reasons, the students were still very upset. Wash U is in a great location. We're essentially in St. Louis, with easy access to the City Museum, major league sports events, concerts, musicals, etc. We're also a self-contained campus, so the campus is relatively compact. There are also two MetroLink stops on campus, for which we get free passes, so St. Louis is literally a couple stops away. It's perfect. The Loop on Delmar is also a fifteen-minute walk away, with "college-town" shops, restaurants, etc. My favorite aspect of Wash U's location is Forest Park, which is across the street from campus. Whether for a run, playing ultimate frisbee, going for a bike ride, going sledding down art hill, going for a walk, or going to the science center, Forest Park is a wonderful asset to Wash U. The most frequent student complaints are the lack of variety and healthy options in campus dining. Wash U's food is really very good, but we all get sick of having practically the same menu everywhere. Although cost is probably an issue at every school, students frequently get upset at substantial cost increases in tuition, room, board, and fees every year. Many of us also feel like Health Services is inconvenient and not as effective as it should be. There is not a lot of attendance to varsity sports, yet there is "school pride" in the sense that students are proud to be part of the Wash U community. One of my more unique experiences was winning the intramural inner tube water polo tournament two years in a row. One of my favorite unique activities Wash U offers is Residential College Olympics, a Saturday full of free t-shirts, food, and all sorts of games: ultimate, soccer, basketball, tug-of-war, ping pong, foosball, euchre, dodgeball, flag football, etc. It's awesome.

The most popular shirt on campus says, "Wash U Pride, it's in St. Louis dammit." That pretty much sums up the reaction we have when we try to tell other people where we go to school. I am from FL and the first response I usually get is "O, Wash U, is that in Seattle?" kindly responding, "No, in St. Louis..." only get a more disappointing response of "Why the hell would you move to Missouri!" Wash U is a good mix of really focused academic students, and well, the more social students. The environment is way more relaxed than some other campuses I visited and people are pretty friendly. The campus is beautiful, including historical collegiate Gothic architecture and brand new similarly designed facilities that are up to date with 21st century technology. The students here complain a lot about the food, but in the grand scheme of things, I think Wash U is rated among the top schools for food. It's always a topic of conversation, as I am sure dining is on every campus. More recent hot topics here revolve around the political world. Alberto Gonzales came to speak on our campus, Barack Obama was turned away from speaking directly on campus (though he came to the Edward Jones Dome for a rally anyhow), in effort to stay neutral before Wash U hosts the VP debates next fall. Students are gathering to discuss these controversial issues, igniting political activism. It is a wake up call and I think everyone is learning more about what's going on in our government and country in effort to be educated voters. I am looking forward to more speakers and debate coming to campus in the near future. St. Louis, not the most exciting city I have ever been to, but a good place to explore and experience different flavors of culture around town. There are a ton of different places to eat and a few different areas to go out in. I think many people think it is a much more 21 and up friendly town, though. With our graduate schools, SLU and Fontbonne campuses nearby, there are a lot of college students to be found, though St. Louis would definitely not be classified as a "college town." I could go on forever about how I love Wash U and probably only complain about the ridiculously random weather we get here. If you would like more of my opinion I'd love to speak more with you on the phone.

Wash U is the perfect size -- not just a few thousand like a highschool, and not so big that you'll get lost in the crowd. Most people don't know about Wash U. Many are mistaken when they think we're located in the state of Washington. Most people I know stay on campus the majority of the time. Some underclassmen go out to clubs on Thursday nites. Many students go out to dinner off campus. I think most students are happy they go to Wash U, but there isn't much school pride when it comes to sports at all. Our campus has many pesky squirrels and rabbits.
ChemE Sophomore
Compared to your Stanfords or Dukes, Wash U is a relative newcomer to that privileged bunch that turns away the bulk of its applicants. ESPN broadcasters donÕt name-drop our basketball players and no one goes to St. Louis for its weather; a lot people donÕt even know that Washington University in St. Louis is, in fact, in St. Louis. But there is definitely a sense around here that Wash U is a school on the rise and its cool to be part of that. The school is flush with money; the administration has spent millions on constructing new buildings and recruiting world-renowned faculty. We now have dorms that have more in common with the lodging at Disneyland than a traditional college dorm. You can order crepes at our dining halls or take advantage of abundant funding for student groups and projects. I doubt I am the only one, however, who wonders whether these perks really justify a $50,000 a year price tag. Sometimes it seems as though the administration lavishes more money and attention on its buildings than its students. Wash U, like much of its competition, charges for everything: to use the Internet, to print at the library, to use outdated exercise facilities. The nicest dorms cost over $1,000 a month in rent and you can expect to pay $6 or $7 for the convenience of buying a box of cereal on campus. In its defense, the administration has begun to address some of these issues by bundling some fees into room and board. Increasingly, however, the people in charge seem slow to respond to the issues students have with current policies. This spring, for instance, the Chancellor refused an offer from Barack Obama to speak on campus for free on the weekend before Super Tuesday on the grounds that doing so would be a costly distraction and require the school to host any presidential candidate who wished to speak here. A lot of students thought this was a pretty flimsy excuse, especially in light of the fact that the College Republicans brought Mike Huccabee on campus last spring and paid Alberto Gonzales $35,000 for a half-hour speech this winter. For the most part, however, students are really happy to be at Wash U. The size of the school is perfect; intimate enough to see people you know everywhere you go, large enough to constantly meet new people. And despite all of the facility improvements and stellar academics, itÕs the people that make Wash U a stellar place. True ***s are a rare breed on campus. Almost everyone is approachable and friendly in a Midwestern sort of way. School spirit is difficult when you play DIII sports and you share part of your name with a dozen other schools, but people bond easily enough through their freshmen floor, mutual friends, extracurriculars, and Greek life.

There were some serious fashion hits and a few devastating misses on the red carpet at the Oscars…Let the games begin!
Jennifer Lopez—Nobody does the bun better (or has better buns, lol) than Jennifer! With a face like that, she should wear a bun every day…except, she'd probably have no hairline if she did that. But you get what I mean :)
Tina Fey—YAYYYYYY!!!!! So Happy to see Tina Fey with her hair all done up in a dramatic, movie star bun. She's finally embracing her a-list status and workin' the cameras. Love itTina!!! See, the funny lady can be FAB!!
Cameron Diaz—The "chic-est shag of the night" award goes to Cameron Diaz! LOVE this light airy hair. The cut has grown out a little since she first debuted it, and its really looking GORG now! Stunning Cameron!
Octavia Spencer—This woman (and designer Tadashi Shoji) knows exactly what she's doing on the red carpet. And its working!!!! Congratulations Octavia on the Oscar win and the fashion coup!
Gwyneth Paltrow—I've never seen such a sleek svelte body in stark white!! Gwyneth's body is SICK!! THIS is how you do high fashion and still look pretty! I love that a gal who's almost 40 can look this HOT!! BTW: Tom Ford is a design GENIUS!! Thank GOD he's back!
Rooney Mara—Pretty face, ugly hair…what else is there to say?! Oh, and not enough body for the dress either. Tragic!
Viola Davis—I'm just confused. I don't get why you'd pick NOW to start experimenting with a new hairstyle. I cannot grasp why your hair and face (and lipstick) are almost the same color…congrats for being the first dark skinned woman to look washed out at the Oscars. I don't understand why Vera Wang can design 3 impeccably fit dresses for Kim Kardashian's fake wedding, but she sticks poor Viola Davis in an ill-fitting cheap bridesmaid dress from the David's bridal collection. Like I said…I'm confused. But one thing I know for sure—this whole look was AWFUL!!

Former president of Republika Srpska Radovan Karadzic asked the Hague Tribunal, ICTY, to acquit him of all charges, claiming that prosecutors failed to prove he was guilty.
Karadzic and his lawyer Peter Robinson presented on Monday an oral request to the ICTY Trial Chamber to be freed of all charges contained in the indictment.
"My fingerprints are nowhere to be found in these crimes. Everywhere I interfered, it was for the sake of humanity and to ease the pain of civilians of any ethnicity," emphasised Karadzic.
Karadzic is charged with genocide in Srebrenica and seven other municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, expulsion of Bosniaks and Croats in much of Bosnia, terror against civilians in Sarajevo, and taking members of UN peace forces as hostages, in the period between 1992 and 1995.
He claims it has not been proven that the forces of Republika Srpska committed genocide in Srebrenica.
"Prosecution failed to prove my responsibility for the events in Srebrenica or that it was genocide... It's up to the prosecution to prove who did the killing and what was the motive," said Karadzic, claiming "there were killings for personal reasons, out of revenge."
According to the indictment and earlier verdicts of the Tribunal, the Bosnian Serb army, under Karadzic's supreme command, executed more than 7,000 Bosniaks from Srebrenica in the days after it seized the enclave in eastern Bosnia on July 11, 1995.
Claiming that the prosecution failed to establish the exact number of victims, Karadzic said that the number cited in the indictment is part of a "Muslim propaganda", which "the prosecution succumbed to" and "part of the game which makes people miserable and sets groundwork for future hostilities."
"The prosecution failed to present evidence that I prepared, planned and ordered a genocide," said the defendant and added that Bosniak women, children and elderly from Srebrenica were not deported, but evacuated with support from the UN after they themselves asked for it.
The defence asked that Karadzic be acquitted of charges of genocide against Bosniak and Croats in seven other municipalities in Bosnia and Herzegovina, based on the fact that neither Hague Tribunal, nor International Court of Justice in their verdict established that genocide was committed there.
According to Karadzic, the Hague prosecution failed to prove he committed a single incident in Sarajevo, adding that the city was not under siege of his army. Sarajevo was, in his opinion, "highly militarised" and the "army was mixed with civilians".
He added that Serb soldiers only defended their homes and suburbs and that their leadership did not lay claim or intended to take over Bosniak territories in Sarajevo.
Karadzic also denied the existence of the joint criminal enterprise aimed at permanent and forceful removal of non-Serbs from larger parts of the Bosnian territory. Moving of population from war zones, in his words, was a legal obligation, with the guaranteed right to return.
He dismissed accusations of crimes committed in detention camps across Bosnia as unproven, claiming those were merely investigation centres which detained only "participants in armed rebellion", while others, "arrested by error" were regularly released.
"Crimes were committed by individuals, and the prosecution failed to prove it was a part of the state system," said the defendant.
The prosecutors will respond to Karadzic's request for acquittal on Wednesday, while the Trial Chamber would make a decision on it at a later date.
To the media in Bosnia and Herzegovina, the arrest of Radovan Karadzic, indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, ICTY, for genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity, was a true sensation, and one to be exploited day after day.
In July 1995 Srebrenica was shelled and occupied by the Army of Republic of Srpska,VRS, despite being declared a protected area by the United Nations. More than 7,000 people were killed, the victims of genocide.

Welcome to Tesco Wine by the case.

Equivalent to £6.79 per bottle
81 Clubcard Points
This is a brilliant gold medal winner made by Oz winery De Bortoli, with notes of apricot, peach, honey and nuts.
Wonderful with fresh fruit and meringue puddings.
This wine is ideal for drinking now but can be kept for up to 3 years
Matthew Jukes - Weekend (Daily Mail) 07/04/2012Of the 2008 vintage, Matthew Jukes said: "Sweet wine specialist De Bortoli makes this luxurious elixir for Tesco. A marmalade and caramel brew with a minutes-long finish, it's heaven at a fraction of the price you'd expect to pay for this quality."
Olly Smith - Live (The Mail on Sunday) 22/04/2012Of the 2008 vintage, Olly Smith said: "A great price for a sweet wine of this calibre. It's lemony, mango-sweet, rich and syrupy. Serve chilled with a slice of salty Roquefort for a one-way ticket to Titillation Central."
Jamie Goode - S Magazine (Sunday Express) 24/06/2012Of the 2008 vintage, Jamie Goode said: "Fans of sweet wine should head to Tesco and snap up this well-priced little beauty. It's viscous and sweet with grape, apricot, melon and citrus-peel tastes, and would be ideal with orange and lemon polenta cake."
Rob Buckhaven - Fabulous Magazine (The Sun) 22/07/2012Of the 2008 vintage, Rob Buckhaven said: "Tesco's Finest* Dessert Semillon adds peachy flavours to a cherry compote."
Hamish Anderson - Daily Telegraph Magazine 25/08/2012Of the 2008 vintage, Hamish Anderson said: "This is a serious bargain produced by the sticky specialist De Bortoli; you can get three of these beautifully poised yet decadent halves for the price of one Noble One - its world beating Semillon. This level of sweetness and creamy texture is needed to handle the stewed fruit, while the wine's nutty undercurrent picks out the oaty crumble."
Jamie Goode - S Magazine (Sunday Express) 16/12/2012Of the 2008 vintage, Jamie Goode said: "An affordable bottle by Australia's sweet wine specialist De Bortoli, this is very sweet but balanced with lush apricot and melon flavours and nice lemony acidity. A glass of this would be the ideal way to finish Christmas lunch."
Olly Smith - Live Magazine, Mail on Sunday 03/03/2013Of the 2008 vintage, Olly Smith said: "Luscious sweet vino like a magnificent mango. Stick a bottle in the fridge and serve it with a blue cheese for a mesmerising contrast of flavours."
De Bortoli Wines is a 3rd generation family business established by Vittorio & Giuseppina De Bortoli in 1928. In 1952, Vittorio's son Deen, joined and energetically expanded the company, implementing many innovations and new wine styles, embracing new technology and viticultural practices. In the 80s Deen and his son Darren made a sweet white wine from botrytised Semillon called 'Noble One', now Australia's benchmark sweet white wine. This wine is made using the same principals.
Julie Mortlock
The Riverina enjoys a warm Mediterranean climate. The sandy loam soils vary in colour from red sandy earths to brown clay loams. The De Bortoli Bilbul winery in the Riverina is the birthplace of icon dessert wine Noble One, developed by Darren De Bortoli in the 1980s which, since its release, has been awarded more than 100 Trophies and 345 Gold Medals. Climatic conditions allow the development of 'noble rot' to occur, providing the opportunity to make complex sweet white wines.

This page is designed to offer you, the athlete, and your parents, information on what is expected of a member of the Wolfpack soccer team. Contained herein you will find information pertaining to all the policies and goals that the coaching staff has set forth to help insure the highest possible levels of competition and commitment to the program. Our intention is to make your experience on the team the most rewarding it can be.
Coaching Staff Varsity Head Coach -- Rob Stassen Assistant Varsity Coach -- Jessica Withrow Head JV Coach -- Matt Sparapani Assistant JV Coach -- Jake Longo
The Team
The girls soccer program competes in 3A and the GCAC Red Division. The program continues to face the toughest non-conference schedule possible in and out of state, including having played recent teams: St. Viator, Waubonsie Valley, Lyons Township, Sandburg, Lincoln-Way East, Hinsdale Central, New Trier, Springfield, Glenwood Chatham, Madison West, and Madison Edgewood.
The Team Beyond Soccer
The entire staff is committed to making the program the most successful one it can be. We are also committed to helping your daughters become successful, not only in soccer, but all aspects of their everyday lives. We have the opportunity to interact with them on a daily basis and like to think of ourselves as an extended family, looking out for your daughter's best interests when you cannot be there. Values, camaraderie and responsibility are some of the other things we teach, and hope they will carry these lessons on after their four years at Saint Ignatius. We are pleased with the progress the program has made on the field, but we realize that there is much to learn outside the realm of the soccer pitch. Along with the games we play during the season, we also stress the importance of training and nutrition. In terms of training, we have worked extensively on such diverse conditioning methods as weight training (strength, endurance), speed and agility, core balance, and cardiovascular endurance.
Spring Break Both levels will have games and practices over the break. Therefore, we will continue with our policy (approved by the athletic department and school administration) regarding absences during this time. In short, we will not excuse any absence from practice due to family vacations. We strongly urge that every player attend every practice. The policy is explained further in the team rules section. During spring break, players will be required to attend double session practices.

MMMOrpg.com The website for former mmo players/haters. If rift is a clone of anything that is EQ. Also dont bring the how many people play argument. Its invalid. EU has it hard in rift due to trions lack of effort to support the game in that reagion but if anyone played rift on release, Icewatch atm is worth about three times the pop on 1.0 servers. Anyway rift is great in what it is, and its the best of its kind, even if it may be that just because its the latest in that traditional mmorpg sub genre you ex players now call "themepark". no ones fault everyone on this damn page is yet another stuck up casual from the pop culture explosion of WoW a few years back and that you cant really play anything else wihtout seing warcrfat attatched to anything that calls it self mmorpg. Also stop trying to promote botwars two as inovation, its not. Unless the buy to play model is considered inovation on its own in some magical alternative universe. Its a damn shitty game with semi decent pve leveling and only worth the time for hardcore pvp (good for 1% of those who play mmos then ey) |
Originally posted by Calmmo uh, no. Not even close. Rift is almost as far from EQ conceptually as possible. |
Endorsement? No. I've actually had an account on this site for a while now but just never posted up until now. That doesn't mean my review isn't legit. I decided to take the time to write this review based on my experience. Believe what you will. |
I've actually never heard anyone say that Cataclysm was one of the most epic expansions to ever have come out. Although I am happy you enjoyed it (I actually didn't find it that bad either), the fact of the matter is that the majority of WoW players despised it and are thrilled to have moved on to another expansion. Rift has come out with many new features, added a ton of quests, and has more than tripled in size - I fail to see how Storm Legion "can't touch that". My advice to you is that you should give it another try, then reevaluate your review based on actual game experience. |
Originally posted by Jyces Granted much of the assets were already in game (but plenty did change), but the size of Kalimdor + EK + the Cata zones is easily bigger than SL. But as I said, much of the assets were already there. |
Originally posted by strangiato2112 Of course WoW is going to be much bigger. It has 6 years and several expansions on Rift. |
A "real" MMO gamer that's only just this year discovered this website? Give me a break. I don't doubt that Trion has put together a solid expansion for their game. I think they can write a theme park MMO about as well as one can be written. Not only that, they're expanding it and they are still collecting subscriptions. They are also writing another game, financed at least in part by Rift. End of Nations didn't go so well with having another developer do the work, so hopefully bringing it in house will allow them to complete the game and get a real MMORTS out the door. Join the League For Gamers. |
Then how far from wow is it? 1.000 light years? lol/ As for cataclysm being mentioned. PLEASE wake up, wow has been but a husk of it former self since wotlk. In any case this review is rather weak and doesnt even mention let alone rate some of the biggest selling points of the game. Raiding for example, not one mention. Anywyay incomplete review is incomplete |
That was a direct comparison between cataclysm and Storm Legion. The argument could be made that Cataclysm was bigger than SL if you take into acount all the work they put in to re do the vanilla zones. It has zero to do with how long WoW has been out. |
Everquest: Leveling primarily done in groups WoW: Designed to solo to cap as main method of leveling Rift: Designed to solo to cap as main method of leveling Everquest: Large, static dungeons that arent a straight path from start to end WoW: instanced, on-rails dungeons Rift: instanced, on-rails dungeons Everquest: massive, 50+ man raids WoW: medium and small 25/10 raids Rift: medium and small 20/10 raids Everquest: Difficult crafting with high rates of failure for the top items WoW: easy gathering, click and combine guaranteed item (and skill up) Rift: easy gathering, click and combine guaranteed item (and skill up) Everquest: Open world PvP only, little focus on PvP WoW: Primary PvP focus on instanced combat (Battlegrounds and Arenas) Rift: Prmary PvP focus on instanced combat (Battlegrounds) Everquest: Deadly mobs, where multiple mobs could mean death WoW: weak mobs designed to be AoEd Rift: weak mobs designed to be AoEd Everquest: Long, rewarding quests and item acquisition WoW: instant gratification Rift: instant gratification ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Everquest: Huge sprawling launch world, interesting races, multiple leveling paths WoW: Large sprawling launch world, interesting races, multiple leveling paths Rift: Small launch world, bland races, linear leveling experience Large, sprawling expansion though, but no change linear leveling experience. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Everquest: Level cap character progression both gear and AAs with AAs being a huge part of player power WoW:gear only level cap progression Rift: Both gear and AAs, with AAs being largely irrelevant |
Storm Legion is hands down the best expansion ever released to any MMO in gaming history. Trion is a pantheon for dev gods..
Originally posted by dolgran8 fixed that for you |
I may come off as a rift fan, to which I am, but does that mean my opinion is overexxagerated? To the ones who just "tried it out," probably. One of the main things I see that turns people off from Rift is the lack of high population at early game. It's to be expected when rift content is focused at the end level. "Trying it out" means you've only taken a small taste. That also means that those who's played it fully can tell you about a bigger experience. And that's what I'm going by. As a player who has gone through a lot of the content: raided, pvped, built my own dimension, puged, socialized (as far as that term goes in mmo to the naysayers), quested, grinded, leveled, crafted, and even just standing around being derpy; This game has really been a blast and still is. The raids are spectacular and often difficult yet exciting as class roles are pretty much versatile, leaving many options on who does what. Now, I will be honest and say there are min/max builds, but raid composition can have different classes doing roles uncommon to the typical stereotype. A rogue can dps, support, and even tank. Clerics can do all. Warriors have various tank and dps specs while mages can dps, support or heal. All that holds anyone back from doing a different role is simply a lack of experience or gear to fit the desired role. Storm legion has been out for a while now and believe me when I tell you that they have fixed many things since release. Quickly. Botting has been and is being addressed. Many bugs and glitches have been fixed. There are a still kinks I'm sure, but none that I have had a problem with. What is more amazing by the quick fixes however, is content THAT IS STILL BEING HAND OUT. We've recently have a new 20 man raid that ties majorly to a leading figure that has been terrorizing Telara pre expansion. Regulos, the king of Death himself. The fight set in the Plane of death, which is amazing to me just as amazing as fighting Crucia in space. To have an expansion that allows you to defeat huge characters so early just alarms you that there is something even more amazing coming out later from the Dev team. If you have never experienced the fast Trion content patches, updates, and hot fixes, then you would not understand how major and exciting it is to know that something is just around the corner, waiting to undermine the current astounding raids we have now. And even better yet, it is not another expansion or content you have to pay for, it's just a free update of content. |
Originally posted by dolgran8 Let me better elaborate this... If you like Rift, then this expansion is amazing. If you haven't played Rift before, or have and didn't really like it, this expansion is fairly pointless. |
More of the same as usual. I bought the expansion, though. So many good reviews made me think that this expansion is above average. Guess what, it IS average. Good luck with the next expansion, never say never, hehe 2 of 5 points |

The Richmond County Board of Commissioners will receive an offer from the Richmond County Board of Education to purchase Leak Street High School's property at fair market value at its monthly meeting on Monday.
Leak Street High School's students have been moved to the Transitional School, with which they now share the campus. The Board of Education held a meeting to collect public input on the closing of the property on Leak Street last month where J.C. Watkins represented the Leak Street Alumni and said that although the decision saddens him, he does not object.
The county board meeting will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Commissioners Chambers, located on the second floor of the County Administrative Office building, 125 S. Hancock St., Rockingham.
According to the agenda, the commissioners are also expected to:
• Hold a public hearing to confirm the preliminary assessment role for the total cost of demolition and removal or abatement of nuisance properties.
• Hear monthly reports by County Manager Rick Sago and Planning Director James Armstrong.
• Receive an update on Richmond Community College by President Dale McInnis.
• Review a report by FirstHealth Emergency Services Director Grant Hunsucker.
• Hear an annual report by Sandhills Regional Library Director Jesse Gibson and Technical Services Director Bonita Collins.
• Consider a request by Tax Administrator Vagas Jackson to authorize Jackson to grant individual written extensions until April 15, 2013.
• Examine a recommendation to the Water Committee.
• Discuss donating a 1994 Chevrolet truck to Rockingham Rescue Squad and approve the necessary budget amendment.

I won AMSB!!!!!
For five weeks we sent eight great style bloggers across the nation some fabulous treats from our partner Bluefly.com.
We asked them to style outfits, photograph themselves and blog about their looks, then subject themselves to designer criticism and the court of public opinion. It wasn't easy to compete to become America's Most Stylish Blogger!
But they all worked it, and gave us 40 memorable ensembles, each wearing the same pieces of clothing in amazing, creative ways.
While all had style, only one could have authority. So today we congratulate Trang of Behind the Seams.
Trang says she grew up during some tough times, and her mother designed and made most of her clothes. Trang recalls going to fabric stores and learning how to appreciate color and texture.
And now look at her!
During our contest, Trang created looks that were both sophisticated and playful. Her look was totally her own. As Nicole Miller, judging the mini-skirt challenge, said, "I think this is a perfect outfit." It doesn't get much better than that!

text: Niagara Falls, NY (WBEN) Ten days and counting before Nik Wallenda attempts to cross Niagara Falls on a tightrope, and his manager says money is needed to cover increasing costs. Wallenda has gone online to appeal for financial help. See the video HERE. "The walk is in deficit," says Wallenda's manager Winston Simone. "We would like to not have it in deficit, it's simple as that." Simone says one way is an online campaign through www.indiegogo.com. "That essentially came about because when we were talking about this, so many nice people came to us asking how they could help. This is a way for them to help and get something in return," explains Simone. Those thank you gifts include photos, autographs, and a VIP view of the walk plus dinner with Wallenda. Simone says there's also a search for a sponsor. "We're tirelessly looking for a sponsor for the media event after the walk," explains Simone which is not as easy as it seems. "We didn't have a lot of time, and that was a challenge. People have budgets locked up and the economy, despite people saying it's getting better is still challenged." Simone says expenses have increased unexpectedly. "The rigging is expensive, the engineering is expensive. Not dissimilar to building a house, you have unforeseen costs, and this is costing us over $1 million," explains Simone. No matter what happens with the fund raising efforts, Simone says the walk is "100 percent on" June 15th. The fund raising will continue until the end of this month.

Charles Dickens: Bleak House46. CHAPTER XLVI: Stop Him! (continued)It is a moot point whether Tom-all-Alone's be uglier by day or by night, but on the argument that the more that is seen of it the more shocking it must be, and that no part of it left to the imagination is at all likely to be made so bad as the reality, day carries it. The day begins to break now; and in truth it might be better for the national glory even that the sun should sometimes set upon the British dominions than that it should ever rise upon so vile a wonder as Tom. A brown sunburnt gentleman, who appears in some inaptitude for sleep to be wandering abroad rather than counting the hours on a restless pillow, strolls hitherward at this quiet time. Attracted by curiosity, he often pauses and looks about him, up and down the miserable by-ways. Nor is he merely curious, for in his bright dark eye there is compassionate interest; and as he looks here and there, he seems to understand such wretchedness and to have studied it before. On the banks of the stagnant channel of mud which is the main street of Tom-all-Alone's, nothing is to be seen but the crazy houses, shut up and silent. No waking creature save himself appears except in one direction, where he sees the solitary figure of a woman sitting on a door-step. He walks that way. Approaching, he observes that she has journeyed a long distance and is footsore and travel-stained. She sits on the door-step in the manner of one who is waiting, with her elbow on her knee and her head upon her hand. Beside her is a canvas bag, or bundle, she has carried. She is dozing probably, for she gives no heed to his steps as he comes toward her. The broken footway is so narrow that when Allan Woodcourt comes to where the woman sits, he has to turn into the road to pass her. Looking down at her face, his eye meets hers, and he stops. "What is the matter?" "Nothing, sir." "Can't you make them hear? Do you want to be let in?" This is page 717 of 1012. [Mark this Page] Mark any page to add this title to Your Bookshelf.

Multiple words: When you enter more than one word, for example, yosemite muir roosevelt, descriptions will match if they contain all of your words.
Find a phrase: To find a phrase, enter your terms within double quotes. For example, "harlem renaissance".
Find words near each other: To find matches when your search terms are near one another, put your words in quotes and follow with a tilde "~" and a number indicating how far apart the matching words can be. This technique is known as a proximity search. For example, to find the words "john" and "booth" within a span of four words, "john booth"~4.

BREAKING: Advice is received that the Congress resolved upon independence the 4th of July; and, it is said, have declared war against Great Britain in form.
The first mention of the US declaration of independence in the British press occurred six weeks after the fact in the August 10-13 edition of the London Chronicle.
And that mention was just the little blurb that you see above.
Via Todd Andrlik, a collector of American Revolution era newspapers:
The London Gazette also published an August 10 to 13, 1776, issue, but it lacked any mention of the Declaration. As the official court organ, and perhaps to avoid royal embarrassment, the Gazette also refrained from printing the entire text of the Declaration while other "Mother Country" newspapers jumped at it, including the London Chronicle (Aug 17 – first in Europe), Edinburgh Advertiser (Aug 20), Edinburgh Evening Courant (Aug 21), Belfast News-Letter (Aug 27), etc.
Once upon a time the world's news moved real slow.
Image: A brief in the London Chronicle informs the public that the US colonies declared their independence. Via Rag Linen.
In honor of 4th of July, so happy to have stumbled onto this article

I still reckon a 6.0 Dom, possibly eve 6.2. I'd be surprised if the calculator didn't put you in this range.
I still reckon a 6.0 Dom, possibly eve 6.2. I'd be surprised if the calculator didn't put you in this range.
I checked the volume calculator and it has you on 37.4 or so litres for a hybrid. If you're surfing once a month not too much less than that should be right. This volume is right between the 6'0" and 6'2" Dom. Go the 6'0" and you won't look back. It should surf from knee high to 1.5x overhead.
I am around 90kg/200lb and my 6'0 dom catches and performs in knee high waves. I think it grovels well enough for me. Smaller than that and I'm not that interested.

This is great info guys. this helps realy narrow down what bord i want to rebuild my quiver with. i was realy leaning tward the dominator and i was stuck to it but the mor that i see its geared more tward medium surf, the more i am leaning to the potatonator. Remember im on the west coast of Florida surfing the Gulf coast most of the time so all of my surfing is on smaller waves 4-5' is a great day, but 2-3 is the norm. From what im starting to gather this is prime potatonator teritory. i just looked at the volume calc and its telling me to go with about a 5'10" potato. i never used a board this short so its hard to belive that this short stick will float me, but i downt want to go to big if it means that the board will be harder to manuver.
If your mind's set on the Potatonator then go for it - it'll definitely work for you. Cuttlefish speaks very highly of it and the FireWire video shows Chuey Reina (sp) ripping on it in decent sized waves. However, the Dom will really surf anything in the small to mid range - I wouldn't be dismissing it because it can't handle small conditions. I was surfing knee high stuff earlier this week on the Dom - small enough only me and two or three others paddled out at Bondi Beach - and it went great.
Go with your heart.
its funny, but buzzy is right. you have to do a gut check when you are choosing a board. if it feels really wrong, chances are it is and doesn't mesh with your preferences.

I'm in a similar boat. I have a 6'2 dom and while I love it in good waves with a bit of size I havn't made it work as well in smaller waves. To be honest, I've always ridden a fish in waves under chest high so going to the dominator in waves under 4 foot has been an adjustment for me and a bit of a struggle. I've always been a strong down the line, s-turn surfer but the dominator seems to suit a more top to bottom, back footed style that I am still developing. In better waves I have started to adjust and bottom turn, go high and maybe even throw a cut back. In smaller waves It's more difficult for me to surf this way. However, the potato has definitely helped me develop this style a bit better in those smaller waves, but it does have a ceiling in my opinion as far as wave size and power goes. The potatonator I think will help me bridge that gap between the potato in 1-2 foot waves and my dom or hellfire in chest plus. Here on the east coast waist to chest is much more common than shoulder plus so for me the pnator will get a ton of usage. I'm just not at that point in my surfing life where I can perform well enough on the dom in knee to chest waves to be stoked. Unlike alot of better surfers, I just havnt developed that ability to generate speed in smaller waves on a narrower, lighter board. (compared to a fish or potato). I wish I was a more advanced surfer but my gut says the pnator will work well for me and continue to help me progress. AFter a year or two on the pnator hopefully I will be at the point where I can get on my dom or a spitfire and generate better speed in smaller waves. I started my surfing life at 31 (i'm 41) so I'm trying to catch up and unfortunately I just don't see the wave consistency here to really speed up my learning curve and ability level. The potato, dom and hellfire sure have helped though. Good luck.
I am hearing you i have the same problem with my Sub and SP, SP good 1-2 Sub good 3-8 need that in between 2-4 and Chris has already said to me the PN will be a good compliment and i agree but i am still drawn to the Activator but i feel my Sub and Activator will cover the same wave range so I'll hold off on the Activator till I get some more cash up in the savings and go the PN. The PN does look the goods.
yeah a its a little bit of a toss up.
The best thing you can do is observe the waves you are going to be in most and then make your choice. Overlap isn't bad, especially if its in conditions that you see frequently. I have a dom and fuego. ride in similar sized surf but each have a distinct style.
sometimes a different shape is about giving you the opportunity to go out with a different style!! I will always have 3 or so bards that overlap one another, that way you can handle changing conditions and have a board for different setups. lets be honest. most of us go out in similar conditions 70% of the time....

Can I use a Pod HD 300/400500 to control my DAW (Apple Logic)?
Like (0)
Hi all
Ive read many posts of people asking similar questions about the various pod Hd's midi send capabilities but none quite answering this.
I want to know if I any of the PodHDs send MIDI signals through USB so I can control Apple Logic's transport control for example, or Main Stage's looper for example. So I can avoid buying a PodHd AND a midi controller pedal, as that would be a Frankenstein rig!
I really like the Pod HDs but their MIDI communication capabilities is not clear enough in the manuals.
Thanks in advance!
Yes, you can. I do this to control my backing tracks.
You need to have your HD500 connected through a MIDI interface (not through the HD500's USB port) and assign footswitches in your patches to send MIDI data of some kind (it works best if you're not using those switches for anything else). I use a Note On of the lowest possible note for all four switches I'm using for MIDI control, with specific velocities of 1, 2, 3, and 4 to differentiate them.
Then, in Logic, go to Key Commands (option-k) and find the thing you want to trigger. In the lower right there should be a button that says "Learn MIDI Assignment." Click that, press the footswitch on the HD500, and then click it again.
I found that, to avoid double-triggering, you sometimes need to do the following when teaching Logic which footswitch should do what:
1. Click MIDI Learn in Logic.
2. Press and *hold* the HD500 footswitch.
3. Click MIDI Learn again to make Logic stop "listening."
4. Release the footswitch.
Hope that helps,
Also, you should be aware of this undocumented behavior in HD500 Edit to avoid headaches: http://line6.com/support/thread/77277
Thanks for the info Mdmayfield. I'm leaning towards getting the HD300 for portability's sake (travel weight).
Can someone let me know if the HD300 can send MIDI to a DAW via USB?
As far as I know, the 500 is the only one that can do this, and the 300/400 can not. Maybe someone else who owns one can confirm, or has more details?
Yep, the 300 and 400 can do Midi over USB. They are not as functional as the HD500 - you cannot do all of the fancy pedal assigns that are possible on the HD500.
Really, the 300 and 400 are really not suitable as full featured MIDI controllers in their own right though so do be careful.
More details in the advanced guide here --> http://line6.com/data/6/0a060b316ac34f0593824e9be/application/pdf/POD%20HD300%20Advanced%20Guide%20-%20English%20%28%20Rev%20D%20%29.pdf
Thanks for the info Jim. It's strange tho that even the Adavnced Manual only has a small parragraph about MIDI and then refers back to: http://line6.com/support/manuals/ and theres nothing more there.
If anyone has actually tested sending midi via HDs USB please let me know
Stay in the mix and in the know.

Bothell finishes fifth during KingCo 4A tournament, Davidson wins title | Prep boys wrestling
By MATT PHELPS
Bothell Reporter Regional Assistant Editor
February 4, 2013 · 2:50 PM
Bothell's Brandon Davidson won the 4A KingCo tournament title in the 152-pound division on Friday and Saturday at Skyline High School. The championship helped to propel the Bothell High School wrestling team to fifth during the league championship meet. The Cougars had 10 wrestlers overall place in the top six.
Davidson faced Issaquah's Jerdon Helgeson during the championship and out wrestled his opponent during a cerebral 12-7 match.
The Cougar fought hard for his title during the early rounds, earning an 18-3 victory during the first round and a third-round pin during the quarter finals. Davidson dominated Nikolay Lifshaz of Newport, 15-2, during the semi-finals.
Zachary Alvis came close to winning it all. The 170-pound senior had to wait around through a first-round bye and a second round forfeit before he even saw the mat. But the layoff did not hurt the senior from earning a 14-3 victory against Eastlake's Eli Maesner. Alvis lost to Ingelmoor's Jared Koukal, 9-1, during the finals to take second place.
Bothell also had Josh Friedli (195 pounds) and Virgil Smith (138 pounds) take third, Tommy Forker (220), Rene Arriola (145) and Kyle Hanson (132) take fourth, Andrew Hanson (126) take fifth, while Chris Norton (160) and Blaine Hoogerwerf (170) finished sixth.
All these wrestlers will have the opportunity to move on to the Regional Tournament in Vancouver, Wash. on Feb. 9.

text: Avoid depressionIt is always nice to look at smiling people. It feels like their energy is all around and all of us get a bit of this supply. But how can we avoid this horrible feeling? Let us talk about teachers, first of all. Why teachers? Because this group of people is stress-prone. They have to work with a lot of people simultaneously and these guys are not always nice. That is why they should know how to relieve stress. Teachers move a lot, but mainly around the classroom. It is advisable for them to walk in the forest or in another open area. To breath some fresh air in and to forget about all the problems. What is more, with the help of Guided imagery MP3 you will know what to do to relax completely. But be careful while listening to it and try to avoid traffic. It is better to sit on the bench where there is nobody around and enjoy the MP3. If walking doesn't seem to be very helpful, try to put all the problems down on a paper list. Think about something that has annoyed you this day, write it down. After that you can do whatever you want with this sheet. It is up to you. You can burn it or put it into water. You can simply crumple it and throw to the garbage. It is also a good depression help. Avoid depression. You know how! |

Posts Tagged 'Mopar'
Any collector in the world will agree that provenance or history increases or decreases the value of the collectible, but apparently, only half is true with collectible cars. If you know the market value of a 3rd generation 1982 Pontiac Trans Am, the price increases dramatically when it is identified as the Knight Industries Two Thousand, or KITT, for short, in the TV series Knight Rider. However, if you did not acquire the original KITT, the market value is maintained, with no appreciable decrease because the car has no provenance.
That the price increases when the provenance includes a famous celebrity or incident is understandable, but not knowing who the previous owners were or where the car came from should matter. All cars have a story behind them, and if only for the potential increase in price, like if you managed to faithfully restore the first generation 1967 Camaro Coupe that the 1958 Plymouth Fury named Christine wrecked in the movie, that should count for something. But if you restored another 1967 Camaro Coupe from nowhere, eyebrows should be raised and prices lowered.
Unlike other collectibles, cars have a rock bottom value if restored in mint condition, regardless of its pedigree. Still, if enough interest and desirability is transferred from an original 3rd generation 1982 Pontiac Trans Am called KITT to other Trans Ams of the same make and model, prices still increase regardless of blind spots in the car's provenance and history of ownership.
