The global economic outlook remains extremely uncertain, highlighted by the continued fiscal crisis gripping Europe and the concern that the U.S. expansion is losing steam and the Chinese economy may be slowing more than anticipated. The upcoming Presidential and congressional elections in the U.S. and leadership change in China add further to the uncertainty. What key monetary and fiscal policy actions can we expect out of Washington and Beijing in the coming year? And what are the next steps for European policy makers likely to consider in terms of monetary and fiscal policy action in order to deal with the ongoing crisis?
Audience: Any business professionals who need to understand the expected future path for global economic policy.

Our editor gives their expert view
Butadiene is a gas and belongs to the olefin group of petrochemicals.
It is a very versatile raw material and is used to make synthetic rubbers, polymer resins and a wide variety of other chemical intermediates.
The largest uses for butadiene are as a feedstock for styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and butadiene rubber (BR), both components in the tyre industry. It's also used to make acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) which also has a wide variety of uses in the automotive sector amongst others.

Butadiene (BD) demand will remain a key driver in the markets over the next three months. On paper, BD is structurally tight on a global basis, but global BD demand – although improved compared with the end of 2012 – continues to counteract the effects of underutilised crackers.
Prices in all regions firmed at the start of 2013, largely on the back of unexpected production issues amid preparations for cracker and extraction turnarounds. Some speculation in Asia that demand would pick up considerably after the Lunar New Year also buoyed the global market place, but there remain concerns regarding the ability to pass on the costs of key derivatives, such as synthetic rubber, to end-users in the automotive and construction sectors, with sectors feeling a heavy impact from by the poor global economic situation.
Updated to mid-February 2013
Butadiene is a colourless, non corrosive liquefied gas with a mild aromatic or gasoline-like odour. It is slightly soluble in water, more soluble in methanol and ethanol, and soluble in most common organic solvents such as acetone, ether, benzene, and cyclohexane. It readily polymerises in the presence of sodium or oxygen.
Butadiene is used to produce synthetic rubbers and polymer resins, as well as a few chemical intermediates. The largest uses are styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and polybutadiene rubber (BR), mostly used in tyres and automobiles.
The major source of butadiene is as a byproduct in the steam cracking of naphtha and gas oil to make ethylene and propylene. The butadiene is extracted from the C4 cracker stream using extractive distillation.
Other uses include acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) resins, styrene-butadiene latex and block copolymers, nitrile rubber, and adiponitrile (ADN).
Asia looks set to attract more deep-sea flows of methylene chloride, as demand in the region is relatively stable compared with declining consumption in Europe and the US, raising concerns of a possible supply glut, market sources said..
Published at the beginning of each month, the global IPEX provides a capacity-weighted measure of the average change in petrochemical prices over time.

North Adams Transcript
NORTH ADAMS -- On one of the hottest days this summer, families flocked to Eagle Street Beach.
Veronica Bosley, director of tourism and community events for the city, said Friday evening that over 1,000 people attended the 14th annual Eagle Street Beach Party on Friday afternoon.
"It's a big thing. It's something my office gets calls about from people who are planning to visit the area and want to know when it is so they don't miss it," she said.
For the most part, the city's involvement in the event revolves around logistics, which include spreading, and later removing, 250,000 pounds of sand on Eagle Street, she said. The sand is donated by Specialty Minerals in Adams.
Eric Rudd, who began the beach party in 1999 as a community sculpture, said this year's event was "very successful," and a lot of people came prepared with pails and shovels.
"It's great to see families and kids play in the sand in downtown North Adams. It's also great to see some of the wild sculptures they make," he said.
Immanuel Brennan, 13, of North Adams, and his family have been coming to the beach party for three or four years.
"We come to get buried," he said, as he sat on Eagle Street covered in sand.
The beach party is a really fun event, and it's a great opportunity to hang out and see a lot of sand castles, he said.
John Jacobbe, of
"We live three hours away from the beach, so it's nice to have a day out here where we can make sand castles," he said. "It's unique to turn a road you usually travel down into a beach."
Friday's beach party was the first for Terri Winarski of Adams, who brought her two great-nephews, Max and Carson Morin.
"I had heard about it, and finally decided that this year I would go," she said.
The scope of the event was amazing, and it was wonderful the city could have such a great event for children, she said.
"It can't get any better than this," she said.
Following the beach party, which ran from 3:30 to 6:30 p.m., a Mexican Fiesta was held for adults from 7 to 10 p.m.
Organizer Keith Bona, a board member of Develop North Adams, said Friday night that he expected anywhere from 200 to 400 people to attend the fiesta, which was in its third consecutive year.
He added that the feeling of sitting on the Eagle Street Beach isn't that much different than sitting on a beach on Cape Cod.
"It's just that ours is surrounded by buildings," he said.

Flacco Deal Update...
Per Aaron Wilson
Biggest obstacles for Ravens,Joe Flacco are lack of salary-cap room and obvious difference of opinion on what to pay him. Long process
What does this really mean?
How would doing a deal now affect his 2012 cap number? There will be space in 2013 which is when the deal would go into effect. I dont get the part about the cap. I understand that part about what to pay him etc...
Maybe let him play out his contract and see how he does this year and sign him based on that? Problem with that is if Rice is unsigned you only have one tag so you have to sign one. It will be an interesting 3 months.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Depending on the deal, a new contract for Joe potentially makes his 2012 cap even larger than it is.
FYI...I don't know all the salaries for 2013, but we are likely going to be right up against the cap again.
And if they don't sign him or Rice, you can say goodbye to Ray Rice as there is no way in hell the team is letting Joe hit UFA.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Tbh Rice deserves a long term deal more than Flacco right now. I am obviously a big fan of Flacco, but let him play his year out, and let him show us that he is really "the best QB in the NFL". You know I never hear Rice going around saying he's the best RB in the league, and yet he has probably statistically had a better career so far than Flacco, yes I know Rice said he played out his contract and so he has.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
It depends on what you mean by "deserve."
Rice has been a team player and a model citizen and a standout tailback in a league of talented tailbacks. I applaud everything he's done, on the field and off.
But the RB shelf life just isn't that long.
If I had to choose between which one I still wanted going into 2018, without question it would be Flacco. I hope Rice is still productive then, but I'd also have no problem tagging him this year, tagging him next, and waving goodbye, if we have to. RBs just don't have that many productive years in the NFL.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
I understand what you're saying, and I totally agree. However I am just going by who deserves it more right now. Flacco is running his mouth about how good he is, Rice is just staying quiet, and answering questions just how he should be. Rice has proven more in the league so far than Flacco. But then I look it at on the other side and agree that Flacco should be priority over Rice, purely because of the positions they play. Flacco I think is going to be a great QB and will take that next step soon, I hope it's 2012.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Joe Flacco, when asked, said he thought he was a top 5 quarterback.
Ray Rice, when asked, said through his agent he should be paid more than Arian Foster.
You say tomato, I say tomato.Festivus
His definitions and arguments were so clear in his own mind that he was unable to understand how any reasonable person could honestly differ with him.
They don't give NFL contracts on what the player "deserves".
Smart teams give out contracts on potential and value.

Re: Flacco Deal Update...
Signing Flacco longterm is 10X more important than inking Rice.
Rice is maybe the best receiving back in the league. He is the beneficiary of being in Cam's offense where he is main short/checkdown option with all our WRs running deep routes (and not adept at getting open, I might add). That's why Ray gets a lot of balsl thrown his way, and he is pretty damn good in space.
Running the ball.... I'm not as up as many of you are on Rice's production. Last year, I think he left far too many yards on field with Leach opening up a hole, and Rice not following his path of destruction. Sure Rice broke a lot of big ones, but he sure had a bunch of 2yd gains that should have been 5-7yds if hit the hole right. Its like he was a Home Run hitter.... Got the Home Runs (1 Sometimes 2 20yd+ gains/game), but struck out a lot (too many 1 or 2 yd gains). He has to hit more singles (5yders) and doubles (10yders) next year.
So what does that mean.... Pretty simple--- a deal equivalent to Foster (who is a better rushing RB, but not quite Rice's caliber in passing game). Rice's agent is asking too much if the Ravens are offering a similar deal. We can't break the bank and be stupid. Honestly, its about time Cam's offense scheme gets with the times and have our WRs become the focus of the passing game. If that finally happens, a great receiving RB is not as important. I'd rather allocate more dough to the WR position, than breaking the bank to keep Rice.Last edited by ravensnhokies; 04-06-2012 at 10:44 PM.

And Tony has repeatedly reported that his sources indicate that the Ravens have made that exact offer to Ray and were soundly dismissed.
Assuming Tony knows what he's talking about (a safe assumption) then the lack of a deal is 100% on Rice's end.

Re: Flacco Deal Update...
1. The Ravens don't have a lot of cap room. It'll probably be a lot more manageable next off-season.
2. They just started negotiations like a month ago.When it comes to quarterbacks, don't pay attention to stats; pay attention to guys who make crucial plays at crucial times. -Gil Brandt
My RSR Blog:
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
The problem is they don't want to get into a situation where they have to franchise Flacco next year. The franchise tag amount for a QB would cause huge problems. The Saints and Brees also thought they would just push it off until after the season since they were on such great terms. Look what happened. Flacco doesn't have to be signed right now but they do need a deal before next season

Re: Flacco Deal Update...
I would be very interested to see what Flacco would get on the open market. I think it may take a real answer to that question to get a deal done with him... so about a year from now.

Re: Flacco Deal Update...
6/100? Didn't Manning just get 5/96?
Those numbers are far too close, IMO. If 5/96 is market value for a Peyton Manning, I think market value for a Joe Flacco is something closer to 5/75 or 6/90... and that might be a bit high.
Re: Flacco Deal Update...
This is no surprise... despite all of Flacco's posturing about being #1 and all, he KNOWS that he will NEVER get Top 5 pay from anyone. He has an interesting record for sure, but he just hasn't put the resume' together yet to warrant that kind of money.
As far as the Cap... it's all Greek to me. They will try to juggle both contracts and probably only get one signed this year and IMO it will be Rice. They have an actual ceiling for him right now with the Foster signing, I think Rice plays hardball until mid summer and then they get a deal done, unless of course he wants to play elsewhere. IMO, Flacco trumps Rice so far as priorities go and they will be more concerned with getting Joe under contract in the end then Rice. It's much harder to find and successfully groom a QB into a franchise player then it is a RB.

Price For Both: $99.90 Add to Wishlist |
Designed for anal exploration and experimentation, this all-in-one kit comes inside a hollowed-out book – giving you a secure and discreet place to store everything while keeping it all safe from prying eyes!
The Other Door Anal Kit includes:
Anal Teaser
The 6" long teaser is just ½" wide – making it about the size of your pinky finger! This super-slim teaser is one of the gentlest and easiest introductions to anal penetration your friends at Adam & Eve have ever seen, and we highly recommend it for anal beginners. The non-threatening teaser gives you a small taste of what anal has to offer without intimidating you or scaring you off like some of the larger toys might.
Butt Plug
This beginner-friendly 4" long plug features a narrowed-tip that slips easily inside your backdoor with proper preparation and a little bit of lube. The shaft of the butt plug gradually increases in size up to 0.75 inches wide – making it about the size of your thumb. With the special shaped base and narrowed shaft, you can even wear the butt plug around the house for extra fun.
Anal Beads
The final stage of the anal starter kit, this 7-inch long string of beads gradually increases in width from 0.5 inch up to 1 inch. This lets you take the beads one step at a time, slowly taking more and more beads as your experience and ability levels increase until you can handle the entire string. The anal beads feature an anchor-shaped handle for safety to make sure you don't insert them too far.
Lube Sample
The water-based Body Glide is compatible with all the sex toys in The Other Door Anal Kit. Lube is a necessity when it comes to anal penetration so be sure to prepare your toys and yourself before beginning your backdoor experimentation.
Book Case
Designed to look like your standard hard-cover book, you can slip this secret storage case on your bookshelf and no one will know the difference. The book has a magnetic closure to hold it tight while preserving the illusion. It measures 9" by 7" by 2" - giving you plenty of space to hide all the anal toys listed above with plenty of space left over to hide additional sex toys.

In recent years, traffic volumes have increased at 71st Street and Mingo Road, and traffic congestion is common at the intersection. The intersection is two lanes on each approach and, surprisingly, does not have no-left-turn signs on 71st Street, where traffic jams can stretch up to a half mile in length during the afternoon hours. The 1985 sales tax is providing funds to widen 71st Street to six lanes between 90th East Avenue and the future Mingo Valley Expressway, including six lanes on 71st Street and four lanes on Mingo Road at the intersection, plus left- and right-turn lanes for each direction. The project is expected to be built in the late 1980s and be completed about the time the Mingo Valley Expressway extension opens between 51st and 71st streets. Besides some development on the southern corners, the only change here in recent years is a new traffic signal, which was installed in 1985. Photograph taken April 1986.

He debuted in issue 30 of the series but his origin story wasn't explained until issue 35 where we discovered how he received his powers.
When he first showed up he was explicitly stated as working for Simon Stagg. Simon Stagg is the father of Sapphire Stagg, Rex Mason/Metamorpho's ex-wife. Java, one of Simon Stagg's workers was also in love with Sapphire and hated Rex for taking "his" girl from him. Sapphire of course loved Rex and so on and since then Sapphire has somehow died very recently. (If anybody knows how that'd be nice to know)
Some issues ago Java even tried killing Metamorpho knocking him out while holding the Orb of Ra (the orb that gave Rex his powers but also hurts Rex if he's near it) and dumping him into Chemo.
Now in the present Metamorpho's been saved by his team mates Owlman and Freight Train and the three go to find Simon Stagg (or Java technically since he's always with Simon) but Freight Train apparently betrays them and lets Simon Stagg and group capture the two.
(Whoo boy, hope that made sense to you folks)
The big plan Simon has is to use Black Lightning as a power source and with research he based off of the Black Rings from Blackest Night to resurrect Sapphire.
Freight Train then proceeds to hit Owlman with his stick, no I mean his weapon...you know what I mean.
Why yes, he's trying to help the two but not get detected by Simon... and yes the big tough Freight Train's first name is Cecil. XD
And so Java transforms into the Shaggy Man (a different one than the invulnerable one we've seen battle the JLA other times) and we see the interesting and rather amusing origin sequence of Freight Train.
Wait, what? Someone (Dan Didio, the writer, in fact) in 2011 remembered Bloodlines!? (Well, I knew of course but it was a neat surprise for many I assume).
And well we then have everyone fight and the battle has Java and Freight Train damage the life transference device.
The plan was apparently working but interrupted and Black Lightning survives it but Sapphire...
"We won right?" says Freight Train as Owlman is picking up the heavily drained Black Lightning, Rex holds his dead wife and a knocked out Java lies on the floor.
Admittedly it makes him sound like a bit of a douche but he has no emotional connections to the folks and as far as he can tell he DID just help save Black Lightning and Sapphire was already dead...
I can't say he's particularly special but I do like that even now DC was willing to reference the event though how he existed boggles my mind a bit. After all Parasite attacks never apparently happened in Canada where he was bitten. Which was the reason Sparx had gone to Metropolis so that she could get powers. Still it was interesting that Dan Didio helped create a Black Canadian superhero for the Outsiders and as you've seen in Batman Incorporated he seems like he'll be sticking around with the Outsiders.

[RELz] Vivec Race WIP (Long Time No See)
I have added an image of the vivec armor. Some texturing left to be done and a few more portions of the armor have left to be finished. But the basic concept can be seen. I just realized that the object skinning looks a little awkward, particularly around the neck, but I swear it looks better in motion.
................Beta Release:................
http://www.mediafire.com/?qd8jffrx6sa2zi9 (32.87mb)
Well, it has been a long time since I've been an active member of the morroblivion forums. My old computer basically died so I wasn't able to play or do any modding for a little while. But I got a new gaming rig for my birthday and I'm back around to do some additional modding work. I mostly plan to do work with Skyrim but I might step back into some morroblivion modding if need be.
But! My real reason for posting here again is that I have a new project in the works for a Skyrim Vivec Race. As of right now there is a lot of work to be done, but I'm currently seeking mod testers as well as constructive criticisms of what I have so far.
If anyone is interested in helping me out just pm me here or post here.
Glad to be back btw
Glad to have you back Helpfulperson!
Well it's nice to hear that someone's glad I'm back. I have made some progress on my mod. As of right now all of the male textures and female textures are done. A beta esp has been made which works properly in game, including the added race with powers. I have a nearly completed male version of Vivec's Armor strictly based on the morrowind original. I have further plans to add a few surprises to this mod . Let's just say that some other notable morrowind npcs might just be in the works
Other than the fact he looks a little angry this is awesome
Helpfulperson, I'd love to test for you, but I won't have a good computer for a while unfortunately
Hey Helpfulperson!
I'm glad you're back too! Back when I was playing Bloodmoon, I was shocked at how much better your texture pack made things, so I'm glad to see you back around!
Dude, your Vivec looks sweet! he feels so much more youthful/ powerful than the origional in morrowind, I really like it! The only thing I wonder about is the hair: could you make him bald?
I looked up a picture of the origional Vivec:
WOW does yours look soo much better!
I'd love to check out the esp, and especially the vivec armor.
Thank you guys for the opinions . As I make progress I hope to continue uploading screenshots. I have an assembled esp, but it does not include the armor. But there are currently no tools for cleaning up skyrim .esp's so I plan to completely redo the race esp. Anyways, does anyone have an idea for the racial abilities/ skills of the vivec race? Also, if any of you are interested I'm currently trying to build up some lore as to why Vivec is back in Skyrim?
His current racials are:
Ability: Divinity
"Your remnants of Divinity leave you with Increased Magicka and Disease Immunity"
+50 Magicka
%100 resistance to Disease
Wrath of Vivec
-50 shock damage
-50 damage health
-50 fire damage
-50 frost damage
With a little work, I hope to also add a scripted power to the Vivec race which allows the player to change sexes. This is because Vivec is often noted as the divine "hermaphrodite", just another aspect of his duality I guess. But the priority on this is rather low right now.
Also, it's a little difficult to tell from the pictures, but I have added earrings to the race that work for both the male and female versions too.
Looks great Helpfulperson! How about the ears though? Looks like they should be bigger?
Yes, the ear might look a little too human. But I believe it is just the angle in the photo. His elvish ears are more evident from the side. As an update, I have nearly completed the male version of the vivec armor. It took longer than I expected to make a version which would work properly with the weight sliders, but I have done it. Finally. By this saturday I hope to have an uploaded esp, with a beta version of the race along with the male version of the armor for whoever would like do test it.
Very cool!
As an optional idea, how hard would it be to make him 'fly' or levitate an inch off the ground instead of run, since he's floating when you speak with him in morrowind?
As far as the gender change, I think you could make a power that does a sex change on him when cast. I'm not sure though. There is a console 'sexchange' but I don't see a script function version for it...
Keep us posted!
Yes, I thought of that too. But I searched in the construction set and could not find the script for it. So I'll probably have to make a new script for it, but I have very little scripting experience so it will be a learning process, especially since the Creation Kit is so new. And there are some animations available I could use to float, but I was thinking more of a floating idle animation.
I got you... and I like where you're going with this!
I wonder if there's a way for scripting to use console commands. You know? Since 'sexchange' is a console command, it'd be nice to do something like this in a line of script:
Event OnSpellCast(Form akSpell)
if akspell == VivecPower
That would be sweet...
Let me know what you decide to do! :D
Helpfulperson, when I will mod for Skyrim, is it possible for me to use that Vivec Race npc (when you've finished making it of course)?
Envydeveloper of course you can, you have my full permission, as long as credit is given of course. It wouldn't by any chance be a mod to add a vivec follower would it?
And Ice even that is already about my head. When I say I have little scripting experience, I really mean close to none . Like I said, it would be a learning process. I do forsee a problem with using the 'sexchange' command though; in game the command does switch the gender of the target, but the result only changes the body mesh. The head mesh is left as the original gender, which can look very weird.
You know, in Skyrim you change your race to a werewolf race when you transform into a werewolf. Instead of player.dosomething its game.getplayer(). I think it's interesting that it says it returns "The Actor that represents the player." That's telling me that you could have a ready made 'female vivec' and then run sort of script that would turn the actor into that female actor just like they do with the werewolf...
I just don't know how you'd customize the face...
Thank you, helpfulperson. I will of course give you full credit and yes, Vivec follows and helps the Nerevarine/Dragonborn in a certain quest...
Beta Release:
http://www.mediafire.com/?qd8jffrx6sa2zi9 (32.87mb)
This file is most certainly not complete. The .esp adds a playable vivec race to the game. Both male and female genders are playable, however the female texture needs some work; the neck seam is rather noticable at this point. You might notice that this file contains scripts. These scripts function to dynamically add the Vivec race to the formlists. This means that all of the necessary headparts (eyes, hair, beards) can be added to the vivec race without actually editing any of the vanilla formlists. This allows for maximum compatibility with other race mods.
The armor is contained in this download. However, I haven't added it to the game yet so it replaces the talos amulet mesh. But this is not permanent, simply a placeholder for now. So for future releases it will be actually added to the game. Right now the armor is male-only but a female version is in the works.
Anyways, please let me know of any bugs or issues you have while playtesting this race. Preferably, it would be awesome if someone could become a vampire through normal game processes and let me know what happens in their game. And if someone could do the same with becoming a werewolf that would be awesome too. Everything should happen as normal but I haven't checked myself so who knows. Finally, the powers and abilities for this race are basically placeholders at this point.
The textures for this race are designed to work with FavoredSoul's male body meshes, and UNP female body. But with the default body the only part that will appear odd is the feet.
Thanks to whomever playtests this . It's something I just couldn't do on my own. Also, all ideas and criticisms are welcome so feel free to express them as you'd like.
That's along the lines of what I was thinking. At this point I certainly couldn't do it but if you're up for it I would be estatic if you complied said script. No obligation, but you're welcome to try.
Here's a screenshot for some mod promotion.
Ahhh dude, when I saw this I just smiled really big. This looks awesome! As always, great work! I wish soooo bad I could test.
IS that Vivec using Keening and Sunder on the divine heart to become a god!?
AKA is this the birth of Vivec!?
Haha that's so cool!!
Yes, I just couldn't resist taking a few screenshots. As an update for the day, I have fully finished the male armor, morphs and all. The female armor still needs some work, but it's close to being done. This is a bit of an odd question, but how revealing should the female armor be? I'm debating whether I want to add a breast-covering portion at all. Now I'm not one for gratutious nudity, but I'm certainly not against nudity. At this point I plan to add a top to the mesh. Anyways, I'll post some screenshots of what I have now, with censors of course.
For more detail, right click and view-image at the full size. Sorry about the female nudity, only temporary.
I would say have two versions of the female vivec, a nude version, and perhaps a version with a loose cloth that hangs from the shoulder pieces to cover the nipples?? Something similar to the cloth that hangs over the chest piece on the Ordinators' armor.
Hey HelpfulPerson!
I think I'll be looking into the werewolf scripts for my own purposes, so while I'm poking around I'll see what I can find out regarding your transformation. If it's something I can do within reason, then I'll ship it to you, otherwise I'll just report my findings.
Regarding the female Vivec, I may be unpopular in my opinion, but I say the more covered the better, as far as the top goes. I mean, we don't see any of male Vivec's genitalia, so I say the female should follow suit (plus on personal stance, I won't download if it nears the nude). But that's just my opionion. I think the two versions may be a good comprimise.
Yeah, I'm with Iceberg. I'm not into nude mods.
But I'll be honest. I wouldn't play much the female version of Vivec. I'd stick to the ripped beast version of Vivec.
Just an update for the day. I have contacted AlienSlof, as I used portions of some of her armor meshes for the vivec armor. She has given me full permission as far as the male armor goes, but does not want me to use any of her assets for a female version. So, I will have to rework the female version. The portions that will need to be substituted include only the neck collar and choker. So I will most likely replace them with some kind of neck/chest covering scarf such as bigfoot suggested. Other than that, I'll probably include a robed version and if there's time and motivation enough, I will include some kind of armored version. But that's not really in the plans for now. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how the vivec armor should be integrated into the game? I was thinking having perhaps a vivec follower only obtainable through a very difficult quest, as vivec would be quite powerful.
As far as obtaining Vivec as a follower, I do have some quest ideas hanging around in my head. One involved successfully opening a portal to a daedric prison realm which contains Vivec. In order to improve difficulty, the prison realm would only be accessible once the player has obtained a sigil stone from the unbound dremora and completely activated the atronach forge. Using some combination of ingredients the player could open the portal to the prison realm. There the player would find vivec chained up in some firey version of the torture device used on the torture victims in the dark brotherhood sanctuary. The player would then have to battle some sort of champion of Azura/ Dagon (as they would have banded together in a rare turn of events due to their mutual hatred of vivec). Upon killing the champion the player would have to speak with some aspect of Azura, who would offer an alternative reward, such as a cool item or blessing in return for not freeing Vivec. If the player chooses to free Vivec, Vivec would become a follower.
This idea is completely concept right now but that's just what I've had envisioned for a little while. Again, I'm completely open to suggestions
Hopefully more screenshots to come. Oh, and this is totally not final at all, but I have contacted a very good 3d modeler/animator who has agreed to attempt to make an animated hair mesh which would appear as blue flames. This could be used on Vivec. An example of what the hair would look like can be found seen here:
Very Cool Helpful Person!
Very cool indeed. Going to give it a go when I get Skyrim reinstalled.
Well I've been on a little hiatus, so not much has been done. But I have managed to nearly finish the main interior cell for this mod. The concept is that Azura has captured vivec and forced him to spend the last 200 or so years within one of her realms. It may appear pleasant but Vivec will be held captive in a way similar to the darkbrotherhood torture victims. Anyways, this is just a WIP right now. As always, suggestions are very welcome.
Here is a video if anyone wants to check it out.
Dude. Vivec looks like a total beast.
Good basic story plot too!
It's been a little while since my last update. I have completed the interior cells I plan to use. Questing is just as big of a challenge as I imagined. Dialogue seems easy enough, but I am a novice when it comes to scripting so it's proving to be very challenging for me. But, on a better note, I feel much better about fleshing out the story. It's a one-step-at-a-time process. My biggest struggle right now is getting the npc giving the player this quest to follow the player to a location at a certain point in the quest. '
With all this dialogue written, it makes me very aware that I don't have any voice acting ability. If anyone is interested in doing some voice acting, please feel free to message me. I currently have the following roles:
-Gaden Indoril- Young, Dunmer, Ordinator, Serious
Well I haven't had a lot of interested voice-actors, actually any. But just an update.
I have finished the majority of the quest, scripting included. I have finished converting Ghogiel's ordinator armor for my Ordinator Quest-giver, Gaden Indoril. This whole process has been such a learning curve but I feel very accomplished. Here's a screenshot for you guys of the converted ordinator armor (yes, I know, there is no armor on the arms, I think I want it that way.)
If you can provide a example audio file of a voice line.
Then I could try to match it and render all lines by computer.
I can even morpfh the rendered lines with some nice effects.
I am 16 years old, English/Australia accent (more english then australian). I don't sound dunmer but i maybe able to pull of the young ordinator. If you are intrested please send me some lines and i will record myself doing them i am extremley interested in this mod and would be over the moon if you consider me.
Hey Helpfulperson, I would also be interested in voicing the Ordinator. I believe I can pull off the MW style dunmer voice, only if that's what you're looking for of course.
If you want, send me some lines, and I'll get something back to you.
Edit: And about the armor. I like it! But I think you need to have the plates on the arms and the legs. These guys are like the spec ops of Tamriel. They're not going to go half prepared anywhere.
Also, got the lines, I'll get the audio to you soon.
S.B. it's very nice of you to offer, but as of right now I really hope to have actual voice actors for the roles. But, I am considering having a computer generated voice for Vivec, as it would be hard to really sound godly. Cadbury_Flake and Robertneville, I am very excited that others are actually interested! I will pm you guys one of Gaden's lines. I'm kind of looking for a voice role similar to the morrowind dunmer but I'd be more than happy to hear them both so just give it your best shot (it's not like I could do any better, that's for sure). Anyways, thanks for your support guys
Just an update for the day, I have nearly finished converting the Daedric Lord armor from Oblivion. It's functional, but the skirt appears a little weird at times (I HATE skinning). Anyways, here's a screenshot for you guys.
And here's a screenshot of the armor with one of the helmets.
Bah, Holy Crap man.
You make sweet looking stuff.
This is awesome!
Thanks for the support guys, it's a good motivator . Here's an update for the day: using an already made daedric crescent mesh, (with some retexturing from myself), I have added what I think will be the final new object to the game for this mod. Anyways, here's a screenshot of Lord Dregas Volar with it. Note, he will be the one guarding Vivec in Azura's realm.
I know that I want Dregas to be very difficult, but I'm struggling with making him difficult without making him simply a health tank. Does anyone have some suggestions?
Oh my gosh man, I am getting so stoked for this mod! Awesome armor and weapons!
I don't know if you saw my edit before, but I think the Ordinator should have full indoril armor on.
He could summon more dremoras... make him block often and heal himself...
You did a great job on converting the deadra armor - could you also convert some other good old Morrowind armors like the Bonemold or the Chitin armor?
As much as I would love having the morrowind armors, I really don't think I'm up for the task. My modeling skills are rather limited; I am still a texturer at heart. But perhaps upon completing this mod maybe. Anyways, just an update for the day, I am currently trying to finish designing the interior of Vivec's prison. I came across a moon and star ring resource on skyrimnexus and I figured I might as well add an easter egg. So I hid the ring someone in Azura's realm. It is fully functional with a script which kills the player when they equip it (after all it is historically stated to do this if anyone but the nerevar equips it). Here's a video of it in action if anyone wants to watch it.
Someone on the nexus brought up a good point, the two colors of vivec do not really blend into each other in the middle, but abruptly go from one to the next. I happen to like the way they are, and haven't seen a depiction of Vivec without such a sudden change, but I'm not against doing an alternative version where the two colors are more blended in the middle so that it doesn't look like I just changed the color of half of a normal skin texture. Anyways, I'm basically trying to ask, does anyone feel that I should do a more detailed blending of the meeting point between the two halves of Vivec?
Man, I can't be a helpfulperson on this one.
I just don't know, I could see the two halves having a bit of a blur in the texture, but the line also makes sense. What's the most common lore show him as? I guess I'd go with that.
You could have sort of a "mixed" colour line in the middle, a very light green color that blends well with the yellow and blue?
It seems that it would be a good idea to provide two version of vivec, one with a more blended skin in the middle, obviously not too prominently blended, and another version the way I prefer it. Anyways, I am nearly finished with the quest, I only have to script the final battle between the player and Lord Dregas as well as the dialogue.
Also, if anyone knows of a good portal resource in game, as I don't really want to bother converting or making one of my own, could they please point me in the direction of it? I'm struggling to find a decent one to serve as the actual door to Azura's realm. Anyways, no screenshots for today sadly
Is there an Azura's statue anywhere in morrwind [ I can`t remember] if so I think it would be a cool portal to Azura's realm.?
If there ain`t one can we copy the one thats in Oblivion over to morroworld.?
It would mean scripting a portal at the statue base though I quess.
Helpful Person: You could use an autoload door in conjunction with a static object to make a portal out of anything. After that I'm at a bit of a loss as Skyrim wasn't too big on magic portals.

Can't connect Spider IV 150 to my computer
Like (0)
I can't connect the Spider IV 150 to my computer using my FBV Shortboard MKII. The shortboard gets recognized but the Spider IV does not. I've allready tried a complete new installation of the Line 6 programms, a factory reset on my Amp but it still won't work. I'm running out of ideas here so maybe you guys can help me. Anyone ever had a similar issue connecting the Spider IV via USB?
do you have the amp registered on the line 6 site.?
i'm not sure, but i remember having to register my gear before i did all this.
It's not an unusual issue - when you say the 'Spider IV' is not recognized - is this by Monkey or Spider Edit?
Neither by Monkey nor by Spider Edit. And yes, it's registered. I have no idea why this happened. I didn't use Spider Edit for quite a long time and wanted to save a few new sounds but it stopped working. too bad. and because of the factory reset my sounds are gone... I hope there is someone out there who knows how to fix it^^
When you reinstall all of the Line 6 software, it is very important that you not only do an 'uninstall' first, but that you delete all the files in the 'Line 6' folders in your computer, too.
I could not get Monkey to recognize my amp using my old Windows system, but used a laptop (borrowed) running XP and was able to get everything updated. I've got Win 7 now, and haven't had to do any updates on the amp or FBV, but everything else seems to work ok.
Stay in the mix and in the know.

1. | Braeden | ||
A Braeden is an all American guy. He is the master at song lists and wows the ladies with his passionate writing skills, though sometimes he can come off as a little strong. He loves bowling, baseball, his iPod, and has long lost emotions for his high school sweetheart. He is honorable and strong, and a gentleman at best. But it you ever hurt a Braeden prepare for battle because his innumerable friends will immediately be by his side. Sometimes a Braeden can fly off the handle or lose himself in his thoughts, but they generally have a good friend to keep them in check. As studly as this guy is, he would never want to be a "player." His warm hazel eyes will dazzle you, and his smile will charm. If you should ever meet a "braeden," you'll want to take your pants off, but do try to refrain. Girl 1: "Did you see the new kid?"
Girl 2: "Yes!! *squeals* He is such a Braeden!!" Guy 1: "Where are my pants!?!?" |
2. | Braeden | ||
a handsome young man, gifted with a warm heart and kind words; athletic and fierce defender of the truth; the kind of guy who kisses his wife in the pouring rain in the moonlight, lay down his jacket for her to step over a puddle, and hold tightly as they fall asleep to disney movies; heroic and manly yet humble and compassionate; he lives by instinct and rarely thinks before acting "My husband is a Braeden. I'm the luckiest girl in the world."

1.something that's really fast
2. the top speed of something The car's got a braeden 200 and accel of 0-60 in 3.5 seconds
4. | Braeden | ||
A Braeden is a man who is indescribable. He may seem intimidating, but really he is covering up how much emotion he feels inside. Often, Braedens like to watch sports such as baseball and hockey. Braedens sense things most people don't, but do not trust easily. He thinks little of himself, even though he is the most loving person one will ever meet. All Braedens rely on music and people to keep them going. To fall in love with a Braeden is to find your own heart. "What happened last night?"
"I was very upset, but he held me and told me exactly how he felt. I had no idea!" "He must be a Braeden." |
5. | Braeden | ||
A beautiful girl, strong and powerful, yet intelligent and pretty. Braeden's are charasmatic and joyful; They love to laugh. Don't harm them or you will meet your match. All Braedens have a free soul. You can't tame a Braeden. It's impossible. Braeden looked perfect as she glided over the jump with her horse.

SOURCE American Public Health Association
WASHINGTON, Feb. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Public Health Association in collaboration with Piktochart today announced the launch of a public health infographic contest to get different perspectives on what public health and prevention mean nationwide. Awards and winners will be announced April 1-7 to coincide with the observance of National Public Health Week.
The contest will award prizes to winners including free registration to the 2013 APHA Annual Meeting in Boston and the opportunity to present their infographic at a session during the meeting. Submissions will be placed into four public health categories - local, state, national and global - with one winner selected from each.
Infographic submissions due by 11:59 p.m. EDT on March 15, 2013, must relate to the National Public Health Week theme, "Public Health is ROI: Save Lives, Save Money," to convey the return on investment of public health systems. Individuals or teams of up to five are eligible and may include health departments, students, federal agencies and all other entities.
Submissions must be emailed to APHA at email@example.com and use Piktochart, an online infographic software for users of all skill levels. Infographics - visual representations of information - are becoming increasingly popular tools for sharing important but complex messages.
APHA has served as lead organizer for National Public Health Week since 1995, with each year including a national campaign to educate the public, policymakers and practitioners about issues related to public health. The campaign is made possible by funding from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation.
For contest information, visit the National Public Health Week website. For technical questions about using Piktochart, contact Piktochart at http://piktochart.com/contact-us.

Beginning Memorial Day, May 25, 2009, the make-up schedule for garbage pickups in unincorporated Manatee County will be changed from a Saturday make-up schedule to a sliding schedule.
Under this new schedule, when a holiday falls on Monday, residents with recycling or garbage pickup will receive service on Tuesday. Those residents with service on Tuesday will receive service on Wednesday. All yard waste pick-up will then occur on Thursday. Thursday's pick-ups will be on Friday and Friday's will be on Saturday. The next week service will return to normal.
When a holiday falls on a day other than Monday, the same type of schedule will be followed beginning the day of the holiday through Saturday, with the schedule returning to normal on the Monday following the holiday. This is known as a sliding-schedule. This schedule will apply to all holidays.
The change is being made as a result of the Saturday make-up schedule being problematic in several ways. First, per ordinance, Manatee is required to provide twice weekly service with at least two days between collections. For Monday/Thursday customers, changing the collection day to Saturday leaves only one day between collections and for the Tuesday/Friday customers service is provided two consecutive days and then not again for five days.
Second, Saturday collections have been documented as being substantially less than a normal day's collection allowing for the haulers to perform the collection in less time altering the time trucks pass through a community, resulting in customers who placed their garbage out for collection after the hauler had passed, calling on Tuesday reporting a missed pick-up. Often, the garbage is left at the curb until the next scheduled pick-up, causing poor aesthetics in the community.
As service providers, the schedule allows us to provide more efficient service while ensuring a beautiful community for our residents.
For more information, contact the Solid Waste Coordinator, 792-8811, Ext. 5206, or click on the Utilities tab at www.mymanatee.org.

Myths About Low Vision
Posted under: WCAG
By Wayne Dick
July 5, 2011
Most people lump blindness and visual impairment into one group. This is a mistake that does serious harm to many people who have low vision but are not blind. Well meaning people cite accommodations for people who are blind as examples of things that work for all people who are blind or visually impaired. Even experts do this too. This includes many advocacy groups, national, regional and local governments, institutions and even the W3C WCAG Working Group.

While last month's column highlighted some useful tools, there is no single tool that can provide a definitive evaluation of a website's accessibility or make a website accessible.
The challenge is finding out which products are of genuine benefit to avoid investing time and money in a solution that does not meet the full requirements for WCAG 2.0 compliance.

Tamya H. Jones and Jevon O. Thomas were indicted last May on two counts each.
The indictment in the case says they claimed that a house in Sledge was their primary residence after a Presidential Disaster Declaration was issued on April 27, 2011. A serious of tornados had ripped across the South that month.
The court records say Jones and Thomas applied for aid from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, but lied about their primary residence.
They both pleaded not guilty.
A court filing Thursday set a change of plea hearing for Jones for Jan. 30.
Their trial was scheduled for March.
