No suggestions yet. I don't use Firefox, but Safari is ridiculously slow!
Finder is much slower, it takes more time to boot/shot down.
I can't blame internet connection though - my Windows 7 runs fine via BootCamp.

I am not having any problems after the OS X 10.6.5 update with Firefox, Safari, Opera, Chrome, the Finder or anything else.
I started in Safe Mode, repaired permissions, cleaned caches then stated again in Safe Mode, applied the combo updater, restarted and again repaired permissions.MBP Unibody 15 " 2.53GHz SSD 4GB RAM, MBP 15" 2.4GHz 4GB RAM, Mac OS X (10.6.5)-

Thanks. Strange. Everything but Firefox is fairly speedy. If you haven't already, you could try these:
If you need to, free up more hard drive space.Repair permissions, restart.
Reboot in safe mode, then reinstall combo updater.
Reboot, repair permissions.
Reset PRAM.
Restart again.
Rebuild Spotlight index (it might take some time).
The more you restart, OS will rebuild its caches and things will speed upMac Pro 8-core, 4GB RAM, MacBook Pro, Mini Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.5)-

Drdocument, I made the procedure all and it did not function! I restored my system for the 10.6.4 through the Machine Team.
Do you have another idea?

I ended up removing Firefox and all its add-ons. Things seem to be better.
I suspect an outdated preference pane, add-on, extension, so I cleaned out as many old ones as I could find. It does not happen often with an incremental update like 10.6.4 to 10.6.5, but it does occasionally happen.
I recommend making sure all software, even extensions, add-ons and preference panes are the latest version, repair or replace any damaged fonts then repair permissions, reboot in safe mode, reinstall 10.6.5 combo as described in other replies.Mac Pro 8-core, 4GB RAM, MacBook Pro, Mini Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.5)-

babowa Pacific NWI'm sorry to hear that you are having problems; however, there are plenty of Mac owners who have applied this update without any problems whatsoever - including myself. So, there is nothing wrong with this update - instead, there is some problem with your system, configuration, and/or third party software. I always follow certain precautions before and after installing any updates. For instance, some add-ons, plugins, or other third party software may cause problems because it hasn't been updated to be compatible with the newer version of the OS.
At this point, I'd suggest reading up on and booting into Safe Mode:
If things seem to be better after that, discard the rest of the suggestions; if not, follow these:
1. Download the combo updater from the Apple site.
2. Repair permissions in Disk Utility.
3. Verify disk in Disk Utility.
4. If you have Disk Warrior, run it from an external.
5. Make sure you have a fresh backup (bootable or Time Machine).
6. Disconnect all peripherals except keyboard and mouse.
7. If desired (but not absolutely necessary) boot into Safe Mode.
8. Run the update installer; Mac will restart when done.
9. Repair permissions.27" 3.2 GHz iMac i3, 4 GB RAM, 13" white early '09 MB,, Mac OS X (10.6.5), LaCie d2 DVDRW, 2 LaCie d2 Quadra ext HD , Wacom tablet, Epson Artisan 810-

Thanks, Barbara. I would underscore the importance of updating to the latest version of all software before running the updater, especially remembering Internet plug-ins, browser add-ons and third party preference panes or start-up items. It is also helpful to repair, replace or delete any corrupted fonts.
System update time is also a good time to delete any applications or utilities no longer used, including any extensions or preference panes, etc., associated with them.
And I use a system update as a reminder to create as much free space as possible on the startup drive by archiving elsewhere or deleting old or unneeded files and projects, especially from the Mail Downloads folder.Mac Pro 8-core, 4GB RAM, MacBook Pro, Mini Core 2 Duo, Mac OS X (10.6.5)-

~/Library/Caches/Firefox (and the three that Safari uses?).
Clone your system and see how it runs.
Use Disk Warrior on your system drive(s).
Found a couple things that Disk Utility did not.
3.6.12 (and the 4.0b8) are fine, so I would strongly suggest you go down the SuperDuper + Disk Warrior route.
4GB should be enough but only enough for a Mac Pro too.
Or just do a quick install and update on a test drive (great to have multiple internal drives and FW800) as some have found that they had background process that was eating up and writing to system.log.Mac Pro 8800GTX, Mac OS X (10.6.5), 3.2GHz GTX 260 10K VelociRaptors Win7-

What is "gamification," besides another example of turning a noun into a verb? The reference is to online games. For some, "gamifying" a meeting could mean including, say, a smartphone-based scavenger hunt as an icebreaker or a trivia game as a learning tool.
For Michelle Pokorny, solution vice president, employee engagement and recognition, and Jerry Klein, senior solution design strategist, at Maritz Loyalty & Motivation, a division of Maritz Inc., Fenton, Mo., it's a much bigger concept.
"Gamification means taking elements of game-like experiences, the dynamics and mechanics, and applying them in a business setting to drive more participation, attention, and social interaction," Pokorny says. She and Klein are interested in breaking down what is appealing, addicting, and rewarding about online games and weaving those "mechanics" into employee engagement programs, reward programs, and meetings. "It goes beyond games," Klein says, "and ties into the latest science on what makes people tick."
What Drives Behavior
Some of that science comes from authors Paul R. Lawrence and Nitin Nohria of Harvard Business School. In their 2003 book Driven: How Human Nature Shapes Our Choices, they outline four motivators behind human behavior: The drives to acquire (gain resources and status), to bond (build relationships), to create (do meaningful work, contribute to something bigger that oneself), and to defend.
According to Klein, the drives to be connected to others, to create, and to contribute are as strong or stronger than the drive to acquire, which is why including various game elements can work so well to increase employee participation.
"Adding gaming elements incorporates more interest, fun, and reward, including more visual and shared accomplishments," he says. And just as a YouTube video might go viral, the hope is that other employees see the behavior the company wants to model and it catches on. "It's a way to get people engaged and energized, to build processes that give people more motivation for what they are trying to do anyway."
Game Theory, Brain Theory
Pokorny says that Lawrence and Nohria's four drives match up with the four profiles of game players as defined by legendary game designer and researcher Richard Bartle: the killer, the achiever, the explorer, and the socializer. Not surprisingly, she notes, "game designers tap into our innate motivations to collect, to seek challenge, and to compete."
In motivation design, Klein says, "you create an experience that leverages the game experience. Look at the mechanics that meet those drives." Some already are familiar to people—earning points and reaching certain levels are part of many loyalty programs.
Maritz expands these concepts to guide employees' relationships with their companies. Virtual "badges" or other symbols allow them to share their achievements socially, and leader boards tap into their drive for competition. "The goal is for participants to feel they are part of an engaging, long-term journey," Pokorny says.
That could extend to meetings, as long as the connection to the overall strategy is maintained. "Using game elements could conceivably make any meeting more engaging, and increase participation and attention—if well-designed," Klein says. "The distinction is that 'gamification,' applying game science as an engagement strategy, involves using these elements on an ongoing basis. There is continuity, leveling, dynamic design additions or modifications based on how people are interacting with the experience, etc. Games tend to have a fixed set of objectives, participants, timeframes, and outcomes. Our approach is more focused on incorporating game mechanics into an ongoing experience, on engagement strategies vs. discrete games."
Design It Right
As with all employee engagement efforts, a strategy using gamification must be well thought out and meaningful in order to succeed. In addition to the expected earning of badges or levels, there should be elements of "surprise and delight," says Klein. Maybe after the fifth time an employee takes a certain action, for example, that employee gets unexpectedly recognized for it. Or a new challenge is revealed. A best practice is to start with some mechanics before you plan your entire engagement strategy. "What is it that people are responding to? You must always watch behavior," says Pokorny, and be able to adjust to take advantage of whatever engages them most.
Another of her keys to success is to "always make the program specific to your company's core values and the activities that drive individual and company success. And it should relate to how employees interact with each other on- and offline. The employee recognition experience goes beyond technology tools. We look to engage people around all behaviors tied to business results."
Finally, Klein emphasizes that any engagement strategy, gamified or not, must be led from the top. Without senior management endorsement, your success will be limited. One Maritz client sends achievement notices on the CEO's letterhead. How achievements are announced "depends on the culture of the company," Klein says, but could be in an e-newsletter, a print newsletter, on an intranet, or all three.
And remember, Pokorny says, "There's no reason 'fun' has to be the opposite of 'work.'"

Investors Showing Interest in Bentonville Office Niche
by Paul Gatling on Friday, Nov. 9, 2012 9:06 am
Bentonville's evolution during the last decade-plus, from down home to downtown, has been fueled by infrastructure improvements, investment dollars and revitalization.
Those same principles are beginning to surface in the office space niche of the city's commercial real estate market, sending more strong signals that the days of cautious investment practices are being left further behind.
"There are some great stories out there about the market coming back, money being spent on revitalizing older properties, things like that," said Grady Mathews, a CCIM with Grubb & Ellis | Solomon Partners in Bentonville. "It's very exciting, and it's important for Bentonville."
Two notable transactions of that type were completed earlier this year in Bentonville, which had an office vacancy rate of 13.1 percent in the third quarter of 2012, down from 15.5 percent in the third quarter of 2011. The grabs illustrate the assertion that investors are spending money to re-introduce distressed or vacant assets back into the market.
The two projects involve nearly $7 million and about 180,000 combined square feet of space.
"Generally, just the simple fact that they are distressed equates to lower purchase prices," said Chuck Sharp, a commercial realtor and owner of Sharp Properties and Development in Bentonville. "There's an upside to it if you can buy it right and lease it right."
On June 27, Bentonville Commerce LLC, a company owned by FBE Limited LLC of New York, landed a bargain with a $4 million acquisition — about $33 per SF — of Bentonville's Commerce Centre, an eight-building group of bank-owned office properties with 120,000 SF on 10.8 acres. The distressed asset — just off South Walton Boulevard behind two strip mall centers, the Bentonville Post Office and Burger King — had been in the portfolio of U.S. Bank NA. It was operating at 30 percent occupancy at the time of the acquisition.
FBE Limited — which also owns the nine-story Bentonville Plaza office building and 15 surrounding acres across the street from the headquarters of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. — has re-branded its newest acquisition as Bentonville Commerce, with Grubb & Ellis | Solomon Partners — the leasing and marketing agent for Bentonville Plaza — leading similar efforts for Bentonville Commerce.
Also this year, a group of local investors paid $1.45 million for a vacant manufacturing/office building at 1602 E. Central Ave. in Bentonville, across the street from Washington Junior High School. Central Investments LLC bought the 60,000-SF building on 8.4 acres from global manufacturer Kennametal Inc. of Latrobe, Pa.
Oelke Construction Co. of Rogers is leading the renovation, valued at just less than $400,000 according to city records, to give the single-story building a more attractive glass and metal facade, and upgrade the interior before leasing to new tenants.
Marshall Saviers with Sage Partners in Fayetteville represented the buyer in the deal, and is the leasing agent going forward.
New Commerce
The Commerce Centre addition began its initial development in the late 1990s, led by investors Collins Haynes, Rick McCullough, Dan Dykema, Vic Evans and Mark Marquess. It's a commercial development of retail and office space, near Walton Boulevard and Arkansas 102.
The eight office buildings that are now owned by Bentonville Commerce LLC — whose owners declined an interview for this story — were constructed between 1999 and 2002 as Wal-Mart vendors began to set up offices in Bentonville. Local developer Bill Lazenby previously owned and managed all eight of them, entering the picture in 2000 by purchasing an existing building, then later building more of his own.
As a result of difficulties relating to the real estate bust — and coupled with less than satisfactory property management, according to one source — the buildings passed into receivership in 2010.
"It was just day-to-day stuff," said the source, who did not wish to be identified, about the property management issues. "And one day it finally all added up, was going to cost a bunch of money to fix, they didn't have it, the market tanked, then they had even less money to fix it."
Colliers International of Bentonville had the property listed after that, but didn't lease any new tenants.
"We didn't even try because of the work that was needed," said Butch Gurganus, a CCIM and principal with Colliers. "We didn't even push it. We did a property condition assessment for each building on what needed to be done and it was an inch thick. It was bigger than the marketing book."
Mathews recently signed a new tenant to a five-year lease, and said the eight buildings are now 34 percent leased. Each of the buildings has flexible floor plans with spaces ranging from 917 SF to 18,747 SF, with an asking rate of $15.50 per SF.
The new landlord has invested about $1 million to upgrade and revitalize the image of Bentonville Commerce. They range from complete window replacements, to roof improvements, new signage and landscaping.
Mathews said the owners intend to create a "top-notch" Class B office development.
"All the issues related to the previous neglect have been remedied," Mathews said. "And after five years of working with this particular landlord, I can assure any potential tenant that the ownership goes above and beyond for their tenants. They are extremely hands-on with their properties and pay attention to the details."
Mathews currently has proposals out to seven different tenants for consideration.
"The biggest factor is the location, and that's what is helping here," Mathews said. "Then the price, and the flexibility of the build-out."
Bentonville Commerce also has added an on-site fitness center, with full-time maintenance and management staff.
"Amenities are becoming a big deal, and that is becoming more expected as far as tenants are concerned," Mathews said.
The new landlords also have a strong reputation in the market, Gurganus said, because of their success with Bentonville Plaza. That development, which just signed an eight-year lease with a tenant to reside in the entire ninth floor, is operating at about 96 percent occupancy.
"Of all the people who could have bought it, I'm glad they bought it," Gurganus said of the New York investors. "They don't knock off five bucks a foot just to get a deal done. They stick with their rates and that will be good for the market."
For Lease
It is a good sign for the Bentonville office market when investors buy an empty building, rather than gauge its value by the rent generated by tenants.
The East Central building has been vacant since Kennametal ceased operations there in December 2008.
But the location was too good to pass up, Saviers said. The address is less than a mile from the downtown square, and has a similar proximity to the Walmart Technology Center on Moberly Lane.
Because of that, the building should be desirable for IT contractors who work with Walmart.
The building does not have any pre-leased tenants, but Saviers said he is negotiating with several. The lease rate is about $15 per SF, and the open floor plan should be ideal for a large office user.
"We are looking for larger tenants; we don't want to divide it up too many directions," said Saviers, who declined to name the ownership group. "We've had a good bit of activity on the building."
Saviers said he is targeting potential tenants moving in by next spring.
More Activity
The Bentonville Commerce and Kennametal deals, both consistently described as good for the market, could be the beginning of a trend in Bentonville's office market uptick.
"I think there is potential for a trend, maybe," said Jordan Ligon, regional director for the commercial real estate information firm Xceligent Inc. "You certainly will always have enough work force population there with the [Wal-Mart] headquarters being there."
Other examples of new office space in the pipeline include a new Midtown Center on the northwest corner of the downtown square.
A 31,000-SF Walmart Neighborhood Market will anchor the three-story retail development, but it will also include an office space element, with offices on the second and third floors.
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. and the city of Bentonville made the announcement last month. Construction is slated to begin in June.
Another addition to the Bentonville office market could be coming at the former location of National Home Centers Inc., a privately held, Springdale-based chain of home building supply stores that filed for bankruptcy in 2009. The vacant property at 1705 S. Walton Blvd. is now under contract, with contingencies.
The buyer, according to a source, is an end-user who intends to redesign the retail/warehouse facility for office space as the primary tenant, with additional space available to lease to other tenants.
A different source indicated it's a local engineering company.
The property, listed with Bill McClard, a CCIM with Lindsey & Associates in Rogers, has an asking price of $5.2 million — reduced from $6.7 million. It consists of eight buildings and about 130,000 SF.
The development appraised in 2011 for $5.9 million. It's owned by NHC founder Dwain Newman, through his The Newman Family LLC, and currently has one tenant, operating through a lease agreement.
New Life Christian Center renovated one of the buildings earlier this year, and holds services there twice on Sundays and Wednesdays.
"Across the board, economic factors are making for some attractive buys," Ligon said. "And Bentonville is a unique market that is having a lot of interest right now."

Contemporary Uses for Arches and Pergolas

On a more modest scale, other arbors are available as post-and-rail construction kits with bolt-on trellis panels, which may be planted up, added to, or adapted to screen functional utility areas, neighboring windows, and even the street.
Shaded Cover Over Terraces
Whether a freestanding construction or a "lean-to" with overhead beams attached to a house wall, the main use of the pergola today is to provide shaded cover over an area for alfresco entertaining. Overhead beams alongside the house — especially when clothed in climbing plants — help keep adjacent rooms cool in summer, protect furnishings from the fading effect of strong sunlight, and form a good visual link between the house and garden.
This association is successful because the open canopy of overhead beams and climbers becomes an effective transition between the solid roof of the house and the foliage and branch structure of the surrounding vegetation.

It's all about the PS3
They're probably copying 5-7 gigs of mandatory **** to your hard drive to get those faster load times...Originally Posted by JMFJ3
I guess we'll find out in 5 years if Rockstar is still around. And if it turns out to be the case, then I'll have a reason to buy it for my PS3. Until then...
The Original Pancake Hater
I'm sure the speeds are great between all 5 users on PSN...
If a must have game that's PS3 only comes out that has online play, I'm sure I'll buy it, but it's not rocket science: more games + more users = more fun. I'm sure in a few years the PS3 will have caught up and then some, but for now it's xbox FTW!!!!
Anyway, who wants to beat up some hookers!!!!?????
The Original Pancake Hater
According to Kotaku the 360 version is running at 720p while the PS3 is only running at 630p. Ball wash that PS3 fan boys!

All proceeds from the auction will help in sustaining the conservation efforts of the Phoenix Zoo.
On October 12, 2013, nearly 600 Valley philanthropists, celebrated the Phoenix Zoo at Rendez-Zoo, An Evening of Conservation and Cuisine.
Festivities began with a welcome on the Plaza with several of our animals and their keepers. Guests then embarked on a culinary adventure featuring some of the Valley's best known restaurants, caterers, wineries and breweries. Throughout the evening, our generous donors showed their commitment to the Phoenix Zoo by placing bids on several unique items and amazing one-of-a-kind experiences in our Silent and Live Auctions. Rendez-Zoo 2013's proceeds of nearly $500,000 will help sustain and expand our world-renowned conservation programs as well as our education and animal care initiatives.
Thank you to our Honorary Chairs, Ardie and Steve Evans, Chair, Adrienne Schiffner and Vice Chair, Jennifer E. Sands, our sponsors, donors, volunteers and staff for their commitment to the Phoenix Zoo. We hope you will continue to celebrate our success at Rendez-Zoo 2014 – Saturday, October 11, 2014.

Photo: Jeremiah Sullivan The holidays can bring out the worst in us. Deepak Chopra has several simple and effective tips for focusing on the positives.
Two weeks ago, I offered suggestions on how to have an inspiring holiday season . Thinking about it later, I realized that there's an even bigger opportunity this time of year. If you could use this whole month to find a basis for true happiness, wouldn't that be the greatest blessing of all?
Charles Dickens showed the way when he took Scrooge's "Bah! Humbug!" and refused to settle for that simple expression of disgust. Instead, he looked deeper and found out the specific reasons that turned a young man's joy and hope into an old man's bitterness and regret. A Christmas Carol isn't just the story of how one man learned to love Christmas—it's about how he found the key to happiness all year. One of the main keys to happiness all year is to detoxify your life. So let's start at the most basic level. Sit down and ask yourself, "What aspects of the holidays are spoilers?" Here's a list of things that bring people down over Christmas and Hanukkah:
As you can see, most of these things aren't specific to the holidays; they are magnified versions of what brings us down at any time of the year. Being magnified, they look harder to deal with. But if you turn the situation around, when you magnify something under a microscope, it becomes clearer and easier to understand. In this case, everything on the list calls for a new attitude and a different way of behaving. Too many crowds and hectic shopping? Don't take the attitude that you are stressed, pressured and victimized. Separate the toxic part of shopping and choose only the nontoxic part. The nontoxic part is giving. You don't have to shop till you drop in order to give. Buy your presents online. Sit and think in advance of just the right present, and don't buy a thing until your choice makes you happy. Pay more attention to the person who will receive your gift, and make it your aim to truly see what would make them happy when you give it to them. Any item on the list can be detoxified. Backsliding into old bad habits? The toxins here is lack of control, a sense of guilt, feeling that you let yourself down and being weak in the face of temptation. What to do? Write down your worst temptation—overeating, drinking to excess, being rude or confrontational—and carry the list with you. Keep away from the top three things on your list. The easiest way to avoid temptation is to stay away from it. If you find yourself in a tempting situation, take a brief time-out. Walk away and look at your list, which will remind you to be conscious of your weaker impulses. A little awareness goes a long way. How self-awareness can protect you and heal your life |

Hello new here I hope this is in the right section of the fourms.I was wondering if anyone can tell me what the best order to start reading the Omnibus books in
I might suggest chronological order if possible. Maybe with particular groups being read together- those published earliest first, then those published later.
Thank you for you reply Iron Lord, Chronological is Definitely a way I would want to start them but I am having trouble finding a complete list of all the omnibus books. The list I have seen all seem to be either missing items or in weird orders
Ok are the Omnibus books just all the original comics put into one large book? or are there extra stories that were available nowhere else? Because I think I have almost all of the original comics on my ipad. I hope I'm not wasting my money buying the Omnibus's also
There's a few comics not yet released as Omnibuses- a good bet is to look at Wookieepedia, see what's in each omnibus, and see which omnibuses contain the highest percentage of stuff you haven't got- if you wish to minimise the amount of duplicate comics.
It's not really possible to read all the omnibuses in perfect chronological order because some, like the Boba Fett and Wild Space omnibuses, are based around a certain theme or series instead of strict chronology, so those books jump around in time instead of sticking to one era. This is the closest approximation to chronological order, I think. There are no original comics in any of the omnibuses, but the bolded volumes collect single issues that were never included in a trade paperback before: 1. Tales of the Jedi Volume 1 2. Tales of the Jedi Volume 2 3. Rise of the Sith 4. Emissaries and Assassins 5. Quinlan Vos: Jedi in Darkness 6. Menace Revealed 7. Clone Wars Volume 1: The Republic Goes to War 8. Clone Wars Volume 2: The Enemy on All Sides 9. Clone Wars Volume 3: The Republic Falls 10. Droids and Ewoks 11. Droids 12. The Complete Saga: Episodes I Through VI 13. At War with the Empire Volume 1 14. The Other Sons of Tatooine 15. At War with the Empire Volume 2 16. Early Victories 17. Wild Space Volume 1 18. A Long Time Ago... Volume 1 19. A Long Time Ago... Volume 2 20. A Long Time Ago... Volume 3 21. A Long Time Ago... Volume 4 22. A Long Time Ago... Volume 5 23. Shadows of the Empire 24. X-Wing Rogue Squadron Volume 1 25. X-Wing Rogue Squadron Volume 2 26. X-Wing Rogue Squadron Volume 3 27. Boba Fett 28. The Thrawn Trilogy 29. The Dark Empire Trilogy 30. The Crimson Empire Saga 31. Infinities
Is there an online resource that keeps an up-to-date list of the Omnibuses, what they reprint, and what is left on the wish list?
Will the upcoming "Unknown Regions" Omnibuses / Omnibi collect all of the L.A. Times strips in original form, or just the incomplete set of "remastered" versions DHC did years ago?
There was a Randy quote last year where he said that they would be originals. My library has about 3/4 of the series in three albums (apparently the sales weren't good enough for the last one to be translated and published in Finland), and they are brilliant. What I'm interested in knowing is whether the Omnibus(es) will be colored. The albums were black and white and Williams' art is so good there was no need for colors.
Hyperspace had the complete collection online for a while. I have a 3 volume hard cover set that's probably at least 20-30 years old. It only collects the Williams / Goodwin years.
Is there any idea when the Dark Empire Trilogy and the Thrawn trilogy will be put into Omnibus form? I can't think of any other big comic series from the 90's that hasn't been collected and was wondering about those two trilogies. I want to read the Dark Empire one so bad.
I haven't seen any of them in years. I do remember seeing a Dark Empire 2 TPB that also contained Empire's End but that was years and years ago. Early to mid 2000's maybe?

Hi everyone,
I have two of these trees - one in my front garden and one in the back. They were both planted last year, early spring and mid-summer. They've both grown and I'm not sure if I'm supposed to prune them. Of course, they're covered in green leaves. When do the leaves turn to the pinky/white variegated colour? Is pruning necessary at this stage?

Stephanie Hughes and the Joy of GarbagePosted on Monday, Feb. 7, 2011Few classes offered at Santa Clara University require sorting through trash on a Friday afternoon. However, twice this quarter, an army of students in hazmat suits marched to the Facilities yard to sort through trash from the Leavey, Loyola, and O'Connor buildings to collect data on SCU's current waste habits. These hands-on experiences are part of Stephanie Hughes' ENVS 10: The Joy of Garbage class, in which students learn what exactly happens to all our things. Read More »

A group of parents say their children are not safe sitting in their Washington High School classrooms. Earlier this year, the Atlanta Public School District cleaned mold out of part of the building and now some students say it is back.The group met out front of the school to raise awareness to what they call a "state of emergency" at Booker T. Washington High School. They went door-to-door trying to expose the danger.Just before the new school year, the district declared the school safe after they say they were able to contain the threat to a few rooms and successfully treated the mold. Superintendent Erroll Davis met with the group on Thursday and said the mold did not present an ongoing danger.Students say they are seeing and smelling leftover mold. They want the district to act.

Aside from mouse clicks or pro-porn boyfriends, the context for your first foray into porn may not intentionally be a sexual one, solo or otherwise. You might watch your first porn film when your best friend drags you to a bachelorette party, or when a pal suggests something wild, like renting a dirty movie. If you decide you're okay with going along for the ride, know that you're doing just that—it's likely that your friend or friends were too nervous to watch porn on their own, and wanted to have you there to make it feel safer. It can be a lot of fun to watch porn with friends, and with the right crowd you might wind up laughing your head off. Prepare yourself by knowing that there's a chance you might see something that will arouse you or offend you, and realizing that, you'll be better able to disengage from seeing explicitly sexual material with people you don't feel sexual about. However, if you'd like to consider adding porn to your erotic repertoire, I recommend that you watch your first porn by yourself.
Women who watch porn alone and solely for themselves know what they like, enjoy trying new things, feel confident in making their own sexual choices, and like to treat themselves to masturbation on their own time and on their own terms. This reality is light years away from the decades-old, false stereotype of porn viewers as male, raincoat-clad, drooling, compulsive masturbators. Whether done by a gal enjoying time with her roommates gone, the mom with a quiet evening to spare, a girl whose boyfriend is out of town for the weekend, or just as part of a healthy masturbation session, watching porn ignites routine masturbation with a visceral erotic spark. |

Wichita grabbed a 1-0 lead with 13 minutes remaining in the opening period. Ian Lowe beat the defender to a loose puck behind the Sundogs goal line, popped it to the front of the net and Trimm scored his eighth goal of the season.
Arizona got the equalizer in the second period at the 11 minute mark as Jake Hauswirth caught a long outlet pass up the right wing and beat Kevin Regan to tie the game at one.
The two teams battled through a scoreless third period and were unable to end the game in overtime. Wichita benefited from a one-minute power play in overtime when Ian Lowe got tripped in the slot, but couldn't put the game-winner past former Thunder goalie Adam Russo.
Wichita's only goal in the shootout came from Matt Summers in round two while Arizona's Mikael Bedard scored in round three and Derek LeBlanc scored in round six to give the Sundogs a 2-1 win.
Wichita went 0-for-5 on the power play while the Mallards were 0-for-2. The Thunder's home record drops to 4-3-1 on the season and 0-2 in shootout situations.
Wichita will begin a busy stretch on Tuesday, November 20th on the road against the Missouri Mavericks at 7:05 p.m. The Thunder return home for three-straight beginning Wednesday, November 21st against the Bloomington Blaze.

It's Purple!Pros: Worked Cons: Transfers don't happen before I click the download button. Other Thoughts: Most home networks don't need Cat6, but heck, it's so cheap these days, might as well future proof. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Work well. Good selection of colors--use to differentiate functions. Simple anti-snag design on the RJ connectors is fine for patch cables. The cables are fairly stiff as expected, but limber up a bit after being flexed. Cons: The anti-snag on the RJ connectors may not be sufficient if you are pulling through a big tray--haven't tried, just an observation. Did you find this review helpful? |
Pros: Works Cons: Be sure you really only want 3 feet. I thought it'd be plenty but that's including connectors, so my router is basically strung in between the PC, server PC and xbox. Did you find this review helpful? |
No Cable Mess!Pros: I love having no cable ties, no excess cable between my cable modem and wireless firewall/router. Cons: None, good solid cable. Other Thoughts: Available in other colors which I like better than having labels on each cable but it's so short you can see both ends easily. Did you find this review helpful? |
Nice cablesPros: Snap nicely and nice anti-snag jacket around connector. Don't know how well they measure up to enhanced Cons: None so far other than insane shipping price - come on Newegg. Other Thoughts: I bought 10 of these for my newly installed patch panel in my home network. So far they are working just fine and I like the color! Did you find this review helpful? |
Purple is PrettyPros: Hey, its a 3' Cat 6 patch cable and its Purple. Cons: The snagless hood uses rubber that is a little too stiff and a little too large. I found that it was sometimes difficult getting it to let me remove the cable if the device didn't have extra clearance. Maybe I just have big thumbs. Other Thoughts: Barbed wire would probably work just as well at 3'... oh wait, that was ArcNet. Did you find this review helpful? |
Works fine in wiring closetPros: Cheap. Cons: None. Other Thoughts: Not much to say about short patch cables, except that these definitely helped me organize my wiring closet. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Great Cables, Outrageous ShippingPros: The cables are great for cramming into crowded 48 port switches without having the cable boots interfere with one another. I like the fact that we can get multiple colors. Cons: The shipping is OUTRAGEOUS!! Especially offensive is that they are light enough to fit a lot in one box, or even in an envelope, but the shipping is more than the items, even when ordering in quantity. Other Thoughts: Padding the shipping to reduce the price is a maneuver I would expect from a fly-by-night auction house, not NewEgg selling to businesses. Please stop. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Purple!Pros: Purple. Great non-standerd color is awesome for use to identifiy ports of a certain type. Cons: Stiff. I could not get a CA5E cable, and this one won't bend and stay put. I have several hooked to light-weight devices (Vonage Box, WIFI Access Point, Print Server) and they push the devices around. Other Thoughts: Works great. Would be awesome for a large patch panel because of it's low cost. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? |

Characters Fridge Funny Headscratchers Heartwarming Laconic Main Trivia VideoGame WMG YMMV main index Narrative
"Hell... it's about time." StarCraft II is a Real Time Strategy game by Blizzard Entertainment, and is the long-awaited sequel to StarCraft. The game was released in three installments, with each one focusing on a different race of the game.The Terran campaign, Wings of Liberty, was released on July 27th, 2010. Set four years after the events of the Brood War, the campaign focuses on rebel hero Jim Raynor and the Raynor's Raiders, and their efforts to take down the corrupt empire called the Terran Dominion. The Zerg campaign, Heart of the Swarm, was released on March 12, 2013, and focuses on Sarah Kerrigan, an assimiliated human psionic who has risen to dominance within the Zerg broods, and her efforts to find a place for herself (and the Zerg) in a new and changed Koprulu Sector. Legacy of the Void, the Protoss campaign, is but rumor and whisper at this point, but can be tentatively predicted for the second half of the decade. The overall story arc of the game concerns a new Big Bad, who has risen out of the most cherished dreams of the Zerg: to assimilate the Protoss and hybridize the two races into something new. Well, someone has managed to do just that...Like StarCraft I and Brood War previously had, StarCraft II has a prominent competitive scene, complete with professional teams, paid players, tournaments and sponsors. Blizzard caught on to the importance of the pro-gaming scene and built SC2 from the ground up around Competitive Balance while providing extensive first-party global tournament infrastructure. They also regularly solicit feedback from top players regarding the Metagame and act on certain suggestions, keeping the balance fresh.During the ramp-up to Heart of the Swarm, Brian Kindregan, lead writer of said expansion and co-lead writer of Wings of Liberty, has taken to answering some of the fans' questions about post-Brood War additions to StarCraft lore. There are thirteen installments total, the last of which is located here. (Links to the prior twelve are included at the bottom of the article.)This series also has its own Shout-Out page here.The three acts of StarCraft II are on their own pages: — Tychus Findlay. The StarCraft II trilogy as a whole provides examples of the following tropes:

How are Scala programmers being interviewed? What are the aspects that the interviewer looks for when interviewing a Scala developer?
First, I would say, think why you need a Scala developer. Is it really Scala that you need? Think about what comes along with Scala (IDE, build tools, libs, another layer of complexity above Java etc ...). Back to the question. It goes in two aspects: Theoretical understanding and practical abilities. don't let the "theory" thing fool you. It's as important in Scala as practicality is important in Java. Theoretical
Theory and practice mingled
P.S: If you found a good Joe then please by all means let me know as we need some ;) |
I like to see solutions to little problems like this: Make a histogram of the outcomes of throwing two six-sided dice 200 times. See the comments here for some interesting answers: http://briccetti.blogspot.com/2011/01/dice-throw-simulation-in-java-and-scala.html Someone with a solution like Daniel Sobral's, or this one from Kevin Wright: http://ideone.com/8LFs3 would be worth a closer look. If the answer looks like Java code, then the applicant might not be far enough along. I would also like to see that the person is connected to the Scala community: Knows the books, authors, open source developers, user groups, interesting people. |
In a real-world interview, simply knowing Scala is half the battle won. Hiring a good programmer is always difficult, regardless of the language! Scala programmers tend to come to the language because they were already at the top of their game in Java and wanted to "take it to the next level". If you have a plentiful supply of Scala developers available for interview, then consider yourself lucky. If not, the more relevant questions might be "What aspects should I look for in a programmer who I'll be training to use Scala?" and "What companies are currently able to provide training services?" |
I have never done any Scala hiring, but I'd look for an understanding of how implicits work, type class pattern, and basics of functional programming. |
