7 Ways To Have A Kick-Ass Freshman Year!
As my freshmen year has begun to come to a wonderful close, I've taken a moment to kick up my feet, take a long sip of the cappuccino I ordered from our Student Center Starbucks, and reflect on all the crazy adventures I've been on since starting college approximately seven months ago. From the wild toga parties, to Greek week, all the way from the stacks of core papers to the endless amounts of friendships being formed, I've seen and experienced A LOT. And let me tell you, freshman year can be one of the most memorable experiences of your life, and here are some of my personable tips on how to make it awesome…
- Embrace your new found freedom!
No longer are you under the prying eyes of your parents. You have an unlimited amount of freedom, so use it carefully, but to the full advantage! Take off the life-jacket you're parents have had you wearing since birth, and do whatever your heart desires (that's legal of course). If you want to make a midnight run to taco bell after studying for five hours you can do it! If you want to go hardcore at a party until four a.m in the morning, then be my guest, because now you don't have to worry about breaking that twelve o'clock curfew you've probably had since the ninth grade. Besides the rules of your school, you make your own decisions and you can run your own life. There is absolutely no one there telling what you should and shouldn't do, only you can do that, so just have fun…
- Realize that you are NO LONGER in high school.
You will constantly want to compare high school experiences to college ones and probably on a daily basis. DON'T. You are surrounded by adults now, heck, you are one! No one cares if your teacher ( now PROFESSOR) gave you a ten page essay due next week! Don't whine about it, because chances are, the person next to you has to deal with a fifteen page paper due the next day. Also, no one cares if you came from one of the best high schools in the state of wherever! Go up to an upperclassmen talking about how great your school was compared to the college you're at right now, and it'll will give you a one way ticket to no-friends-ville. That's a guarantee. Embrace your new world, your new environment, and I promise you'll have the time of your life.
- Get involved!
Seriously, this one's important. No matter what school you choose, you are bound to have at least over 100 choices worth of activities to choose from! For the sports lovers, join a team. The drama lovers, try out for a play! If you want to be adventurous (which I highly suggest), join something like an outdoors club! No matter what, there is an activity for everyone. And if you really, REALLY think that there isn't, then start something new and fun that you'll love! Then go out and find friends who share the same interests as you. Or one of my personal favorites…GO GREEK! Do anything to get yourself up and out of your dorm. By being involved, you'll make fast friends, and you'll get to know the place you'll be at for the next 4 years of your life.
You can't have a kick-ass year with horrible grades can you? Absolutely not. As mentioned earlier, getting involved is crucial to making your first year successful, but don't let that get in the way of making fabulous grades! More than likely, you've seen the movie portrayals of the tedious workload that college can provide, and let me tell you… ALL of them are true. If you were lazy in high school, I suggest reaching deep down inside and snatching that bone out of your body because college courses are no joke. You have professors that don't concern themselves with the fact that you're already buried underneath reading assignments and projects for other classes. They'll smack an essay down in front of you so fast, you won't have time to blink before it's due! So take my advice and keep a calender AND agenda on hand at all times. I cannot tell you how many times I've walked into class where the professor was taking up homework that I didn't even know was assigned to us in the first place. Set aside time to head to the campus library (one of my favorite spots), grab a cozy tucked away seat, and settle into that chem book you probably haven't touched yet…
- Learn to LOVE your syllabus
Your course syllabus' will become your best friend and LIFE SAVER over the next four years of college. In high school, your teachers would constantly remind you of an incoming test right? They probably had the due date of an essay tacked to their white board for at least a week! I'm gonna let you in on a giant secret that if learned fast and well, will put you waaaaay ahead of the game…College professors will not, nor will they ever do such a thing as that. That's where the 5-6 page syllabus comes in handy. Professors carefully and painstakingly take the time to create a full outline of their expectations, and the workload that is to come over the course of a semester. So read it and read it well because you do not want to lose such a crucial item.
- Go Greek!!!
Now this tip was mentioned earlier, but I felt it needed a category of it's own! Going Greek means joining a sorority or fraternity. You'll go through a rush period, where you meet all the groups and get to know them, while also letting your personality shine. At the end of rush period, you'll receive bids from the groups that want you, in which you will then decide just what sorority or frat is right for you. Going Greek is a HUGE time and monetary commitment, but it can be one of the best decisions you make in college. You'll form unbreakable bonds and have the time of your life! This year, I decided to sit back and really take a look at all the sorority's and what it means to Go Greek before making any serious commitments. Now that I've done my research, I'm ready to join a sisterhood, and I know going Greek will only make my college experience that much better!
- Explore Everything…
This is the last and in my opinion, the most important tip of advice I could give you. More than likely, you are coming into college with a set major, and probably minor. You'll already have in your head the activities you want to be involved in, while also trying to search for anyone you may know from high school. That is all really great, truly it is. But college is a place of discovery. You'll discover passions and interests that you never even considered. I came in as a Theatre major, and now I'm double majoring with Communications tagged with a writing minor! All because I decided to take classes that sparked an interest to me, but were still kind of new. Be BOLD and BRAVE. Spend your freshman year, and all of college living in CAPITAL LETTERS. Walk up to a cute stranger and introduce yourself. Explore the campus and discover the new go-to spot! Hit up parties on Greek Row and just let loose! My point is…college is the gateway to a world of things you've never imagined. Don't let your freshman status rule your experience. Stand out and make a statement! Live your life outside the coloring lines, and I guarantee, it will be the beginning of one of the best parts of your life!

United States: Lagging on Landmine Ban
"It's going to be embarrassing for the US to have to explain to the high-level officials at the summit meeting why it has been reviewing its landmine policies for five years without making a decision," said Steve Goose, arms director at Human Rights Watch and chair of the United States Campaign to Ban Landmines, a coalition of more than 400 nongovernmental organizations. "It's time for the US to commit to the Mine Ban Treaty as the best framework for achieving a world without landmines."
The United States is not among the 161 nations that have signed the treaty, which comprehensively bans antipersonnel landmines and requires their clearance and assistance to victims. The Clinton administration in 1997 set the objective of joining the treaty in 2006, but the Bush administration reversed course in 2004.

Muslims, Christians, and Jesus
- Thursday, February 19, 2009
Throughout the book you will also find sections called "A Story of Faith," where I recount some of our family's most special experiences. Many occurred during our times in the Middle East, but I believe they will provide important insights—and inspiration—for the interactions and friendships you might have with Muslims anywhere.

Land of ChimaTalk0
this wiki
The Land of Chima is the setting for Legends of Chima and its spin-off media, including a TV series and video games. It is a fictional world shared by anamorphic characters fighting for control of a powerful natural resource known as Chi.
The Land of Chima is a kingdom shared by at least eighteen tribes of anamorphic creatures including Lions, Crocodiles, Wolves, Eagles, Ravens, Bears, Beavers, Rhinos, Scorpions, Spiders, Bats, Saber-Tooth Tigers, Vultures, Mammoths, Phoenix, Leopards, Tigers, and three Nomads, a Skunk, Fox and Peacock. [1]
A natural resource called Chi which contains a condensation of nature's raw energy flows through the water from Mount Cavora, which was formed by a tornado and earthquake,[2] and is the source of the land's life.[3] The chi is carried by the Cavora River to the Sacred Pool of Chi in the lions' territory. It is here that it blends with minerals to become glowing, blue orbs. If there is too much or not enough Chi contained in the pool, the whole land will feel the effects and natural balance will be altered heavily.[3] To keep the pool from overflowing, the lions share the Chi with friends and foes alike to ensure that it is used.[3]
Chi is used to power vehicles, weapons, and can be a weapon itself, but is often saved as a last resort because it is physically draining. When placed on a chest of an Chima inhabitant, in a special harness they all wear, they will be connected to a more animalistic state with enhanced instincts, powers, and abilities from a surge of life force.[3]
The energy produced by Chi can last for days or hours before losing its glow, evaporating, and returning to nature.[3]
Fire Chi is the same as Chi except for the fact that it can allow vehicles to enter Fire Chi-Power mode and like it's name, provides a Fiery mix to Chi.
Mount Cavora grants the inhabitants of Chima with not only Chi, but also wheels which are formed from rocks that fell from the mountain. The wheels run on nature and work best when there is lush greenery around them, and poorly in desert and other barren biomes. The wheels are fitted with chariots shaped like the animal rider's head, so the animals can ride them. These chariots are called Speedorz.[4]
Speedorz are used in tournaments for entertainment and an arena for housing them is located in the Grand Arena of Chima.[4] The arena can be transformed by rare, golden chi to house different obstacles and environments. The winner in a tournament is awarded the golden chi, which every tribe sends representatives for a chance to obtain. For a long time, speedor competitions were used as an alternative to war to solve squabbles.[4]
The Grand Arena of Chima is not the only place where Speedorz are used. They are also used for transport across the extensive world and for amusement by young animals in front of the lions' temple where there is a large, mossy patch.[4]
A common mineral in Chima is chimoralium.[5] Most tribes use it to create tools, weapons, or artifacts.[5]
The swamp area where the Crocodile tribe lives is also known to contain a thick, unnamed gas which can be placed in a shaft to ignite a gel and form a flame.[6] At the bottom of the swamps, a special rock, known as a crook stone, that glows in the dark can be found.[7]
At the border of Chima is a location called the Outlands which was where Lavertus was banished to.
Peace lasted in Chima for many years between the tribes.[1] Though the tribes did not always agree, conflict was avoided by Speedor tournaments. However, this changed when crocodile prince Cragger plugged an orb of Chi into his chest before his age of becoming, causing bad blood between the lions and crocodiles. When chased by his best friend Laval for breaking the rules, he accidentaly caused an all out battle between their tribes. In the heat of the battle, the wise king of the Crocodiles, Crominus, and his queen, Crunket, fell off of a cliff, which left Cragger to rule. While Cragger was a reasonable, but depressed, ruler, his sister Crooler hypnotized him into blaming the lions for their "death".[1]
Cragger declared war on the lions, to spark a revolution. The crocodiles were joined by the thieving ravens and barbaric wolves, while the lions were joined by the gorillas, bears, and calculating eagles. While the Rhinos, mostly neutral.[1]
Vehicles built for combat and powered by Chi are known to be used by at least six of the nine tribes[3] (any vehicles for the Bears and Rhinos are unknown). They are stylized after the tribe's patron animal and often contain attributes valued by their tribe. The Claw Ripper (used by the crocodiles) has overpowered wheels,[8] and Cragger's Command Ship represents their aquatic power. The Eagle Interceptor can gracefully fly,[9] the Lion Attack buggy is quick and defensive,[10] the Raven Glider is stealthy,[11] and the wolves' Pack Tracker is bulky and destructive.[12] Images show a mech used by the gorilla tribe, but its strengths, like the tribe's attributes, remain unknown.
The World of Chima includes Eighteen known tribes: Lions, Crocodiles, Eagles, Wolves, Ravens, Gorillas, Bats, Spiders, Scorpions, Bears, Rhinos, Beavers, Saber-Tooth Tigers, Vultures, Mammoths, Leopards, Tigers, Phoenixes, and three Nomads. [1]
Lion Tribe
The [[Lion Tribe's government is known to include a monarchy and a council of elders[13]. The lions distribute the Chi and maintain the pool which it comes from. Their vehicles, buildings, and monuments are often coloured in an orange-yellow with brown manes and tan accents.[10]
When a lion comes of age, they are given a sword similar to a katana called a katar, which symbolizes the wisdom and strength they should have as adult lions.[14]
The first two weapons formed from chi still exist in Chima, and are owned by the Lion Tribe, the Royal Valious of Unity[15] and the Royal Valious[16] which are indestructible and passed down through the Lion Tribe's royalty until the Royal Valious made its way to Laval.[16]
Several members of the Lion Tribe are known, including:
- Laval: The young prince of the Lion Tribe, also known to be of interest to Li'ella.[17]
- Lagravis: The Lions' King and Laval's father.[18]
- Lennox: A member of the Lions' military who specializes in driving vehicles and speedorz.[19]
- Longtooth: An older Lion who, though old enough to be on the Council of Elders, still serves as a soldier.[13]
- Leonidas: Another soldier who is efficient at his job, but can only take one command at a time.[20]
- Lavertus: Lagravis' Brother, and Laval's uncle, who was framed for a crime by Crominus, and was in turn banished into the Outlands, only to be seen again as Shadowind.
- Li'ella: A Lioness and a love interest of Laval, who's adopted father is a Tiger.
Crocodile Tribe
The Crocodile Tribe is also run by a king.[21][22] The crocodiles live in a swampy area, which is the source of a gas that can be used in conjunction with a gel to create a torch-weapon.[6] Another resource found in the swamp is the crook stone, a rock which glows in the dark.[7]
The crocodiles have an old, royal weapon they call Grandiorus. It doubles as Crominus' sword and sceptre.[23] The Royal Hakraxx is an axe which can only be used by the tribe's ruling king.[24] The Vengdualize is a double-bladed sword passed from the croc king to his heir when he or she comes of age.[25]
The vehicles used by the crocs often use olive green as a base colour with transparent red windshields, if any, with accents of dark red.[8]
- Cragger: The Prince of the Crocodile Tribe who was King for a while until his parents were found.[22]
- Crooler: Cragger's twin sister with an obsession for power, is the real ruler of the Crocodiles due to a hypnotic plant controlling her Brother's every move.[26]
- Crominus: The King of the Crocodiles who was presumed to be dead, but was found. He is Cragger and Crooler's father.[21]
- Crunket: Crominus' Queen and past interest of Lavertus.[21]
- Crug: Described as being a henchman or goon for Cragger.[26]
- Crawley: Another goon for Cragger.[27]
Eagle Tribe
The eagles, who live in cliffs,[28] are known for being analytical and having the ability to fly without vehicles.[29] They have a Ruling Council,[30] but the history of a weapon wielded by Equila called the Eglaxxor suggests some form or another of Eagle Tribe royalty,[28][31] though it is possibly a thing of the past.
The eagles' vehicles are coloured blue and white with yellow beaks.[9]
- Ewald: The current head of the Eagles' Ruling Council[30]
- Eris: Is more quick-thinking than the other eagles, but is still very intelligent. She prefers to be with the earth-bound inhabitants of Chima, like her friend Laval.[29]
- Equila: The Eagles' "Flying Ace" who is very talkative, and thus is the announcer for the Monthly Speedor Competitions.[31]
- Ewar: Another member of the Eagles' army. Ewar is very strict when it comes to following a plan, and is unable to recalculate without receiving a major setback.[32]
- Eglor: The Eagles' Technician and Inventor.
Wolf Tribe
The nomadic Wolf Tribe has little need for a leader, because as a pack they all think similarly.[33] However, they do choose one wolf to handle negotiations with "the others"[33] they come in contact with.[33]
The wolves are destructive[12][6][34] and several of their members are known for loving to inflict pain.[35][36]
Like all other Chima inhabitants, their vehicles resemble their patron animal. The wolves' are coloured in greys, black, and dark red.[12]
- Worriz: The Wolves' backstabbing, but charming, negotiator.[33]
- Wakz: One of the oldest and most cunning Wolves.[37]
- Wilhurt: A wolf similar in personality to Worriz, but has no patience.[35]
- Winzar: A violent and Scarred member of the Wolf Pack.[36]
- Wonald: A Cub of the tribe. Not much is known about him, except that he is a vegetarian and loves to eat healthy food, making himself a loner in his Tribe.
- Windra: The Mechanic of the Wolf Tribe.
Also, every one hundred years there is a Hundred Year Moon, when it glows purple. This makes the wolves get out of control and go on rampages throughout Chima.
Raven Tribe
The Raven Tribe is a group of thieves[38] all attracted to shiny objects.
Their vehicles are often gliders coloured black, dark red, and purple.
- Rawzom: The Ravens Tribe's "Leader".[39]
- Razar: A Selfish and Greedy Raven allied with Cragger because He sees it as more profitable than siding with the Lions.[40]
- Rizzo: A Raven scavenger without any dignity, and He is proud of it.[41]
- Razcal: An accomplished Pilot, and the accountant of the Raven Tribe.[38]
- Ripnik: The Master Thief of the Raven Tribe.
Gorilla Tribe
Little is known about the Gorilla Tribe, except that they side with the lions and eagles.
- Gorzan: A close friend of Laval
- G'Loona: Is an orphaned Gorilla Girl who looks-up to Gorzan
- Grumlo: The Elder and Leader of the Gorilla's Meditation.
- Grizzam: A mysterious Gorilla who is almost never seen...
- Gompsy: One of the Main Soldiers of the Gorillas.
The Gorillas pilot giant Mechs which probably only they know how to use. Gorzan's best explanation is to meditate and to become one with the machine, but it doesn't help at all.
Bear Tribe
- Bladvic: The Leader of the Bear Tribe.
- Balkar: The Elder of the Bears.
- Bungey: A Member of the Bear Tribe.
- Buchuma: A Member of the Bear Tribe.
- Bumpy: A Member of the Bear Tribe.
- Bozy: A member of the Bear Tribe.
The Bears are very sleepy and can sleep under any circumstances, like in the middle of the Speedor Tournament.
Rhino Tribe
- Rogon: The Leader of the Rhinos.
- Runk: A Member of the Rhino Tribe.
- Rukus: A Member of the Rhino Tribe.
- Rhigor: The Elder of the Rhinos.
- Rinona: Rogon's Sister, who unlike other Rhinos is very intelligent.
The Rhinos work in a quarry where the Rhino Tribe smash up boulders. Most of them also lack intelligence as they don't know that the world is made of rocks, and they think that rocks can make them rich.
Beaver Tribe
- Bevar: The Leader and Foreman of the Beavers.
- Buber: A Member of the Beaver Tribe.
- Bunic: A Member of the Beaver Tribe.
They are very strange as the thought of having a vacation from work is horrible to them. The Beavers are probably the smallest citizens of Chima. They don't fight for the Lions or the Crocs, yet are happy to fix something or build something for both factions.
Scorpion Tribe
- Scorm: The Scorpion King.
- Scutter: The Six Legged Soldier of the Scorpion Tribe.
- Scolder: The General of the Scorpions.
Spider Tribe
- Spinlyn: The Queen of the Spiders, who's obsessed with her beauty.
- Sparacon: The Main Soldier of the Spiders.
- Sparratus: A Soldier of the Spider Tribe.
Bat Tribe
Saber-Tooth Tiger Tribe
- Sir Fangar: Leader of the Hunters who is very temperamental.
- Stealthor: The Spy of the Saber-Tooth Tiger Tribe.
- Strainor: The unfortunate soldier who must leash Splanky.
- Splanky: The Wild and Doglike member of the Saber-Tooth Tigers.
Mammoth Tribe
- Maula: The Queen of the Mammoths.
- Mungus: The Strongman of the Mammoth Tribe, and Maula's Favorite Son.
- Mottrot: A Soldier of the Mammoth Tribe, who competes with Mungus to be his mother's favorite.
Vulture Tribe
- Vardy: The Leader of the Vultures, who, unlike Sir Fangar, is known to be very patient.
- Vornon: Best friend of VoomVoom, who expects the worst of everything.
- VoomVoom: Best friend of Vornon, who unlike the latter is very positive, and enjoys having fun.
Phoenix Tribe
- Fluminox: The Wise Leader of the Phoenix, who is usually very serious.
- Foltrax: The Pilot of the Blazing Bastion.
- Firox: The Co-Pilot of the Blazing Bastion.
- Flinx: Fluminox's Son who, though thousands of years old, still hasn't matured, much to his father's disgrace.
Tiger Tribe
- Tormak: The only officially known member of the Tiger Tribe, is the adoptive father of Li'ella and is very protective of her.
Leopard Tribe
- Lundor: The only member of the Leopard Tribe known so far, is a Historian for the Phoenix.
Polar Bear Tribe

LEGO.com Description
|This is a description taken from LEGO.com. Do not modify it. (visit this item's product page)
Once a pristine, natural paradise, the Kingdom of CHIMA has become a battle ground for eight animal tribes. Best friends are now enemies. The animals fight for control of a natural resource called CHI, a powerful element that is both a source of life and potential destruction. Only a few brave heroes in CHIMA understand the true nature of CHI, and the possible downfall of CHIMA that will result from its misuse. Their stories, and the stories of those who seek to destroy them, are known as... THE LEGENDS OF CHIMA.
For a thousand years, animal tribes have ruled the land of CHIMA. Lions, crocodiles, eagles, wolves, gorillas, ravens, rhinos and bears lived in peace. They played and worked together, cooperated and prospered - until the outbreak of the CHIMA conflicts.
As the first species to drink from the Ancient Pool of CHI, the Lions had become its sworn protector. No one had ever challenged the Lions' custodianship of the Pool because the Lions had always been reliable and fair with the CHI. Animals throughout the Kingdom relied on the magical CHI orbs to energize their vehicles, gear, and themselves. The orbs were a power source that the Lions had always shared equally with everyone. Eventually, some of the animals got greedy. A young, rogue Crocodile prince named Cragger demanded that his tribe should receive a greater share of the powerful CHI orbs. But the Lions insisted, as they had for a thousand years, that giving too much CHI to any one tribe would upset the natural balance of CHIMA. The Lions only wanted to be fair, and to protect the entire Kingdom. But the Crocodiles didn't see it this way. A series of minor skirmishes over the Crocodiles' share of the CHI led to bigger battles.
When the Crocodile Prince Cragger accused the Lions of getting rid of his parents and he became Crocodile King, full-scale conflict broke out between the Crocodiles and the Lions. As conflict spreads, the fate of the Kingdom of CHIMA hangs in the balance…

Quantitative Analysis Reports
Medicaid Expansion Would Lighten Spending Burden
A state-by-state analysis shows where Medicaid expansion could have the most impact on reducing the financial burden of medical costs.
A state-by-state analysis shows where Medicaid expansion could have the most impact on reducing the financial burden of medical costs.
As many as 40 percent of the nation's 1.3 million uninsured veterans could qualify for Medicaid under provisions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), a new analysis suggests. Whether veterans receive these benefits depends on which states opt to expand Medicaid.
Despite the far-reaching Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), large numbers of low-income uninsured adults won't be eligible because of their immigration status. This brief provides the first state-specific estimates of the number of uninsured low-income adults who fall into that category.
Fifty-five percent of the public say establishing the exchanges is a "top priority," according to a survey released by RWJF, the Kaiser Family Foundation, and the Harvard School of Public Health.
Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) implementation, hospitals will likely gain $2.59 in new revenue from Medicaid participants for every dollar lost from private health insurance revenue.

All of us here in ALPHA DOG are here to
have fun and work together as a team. Please remember to be helpful and
respectful both in guild chat and anywhere else. Remember that you
carry the ALPHA DOG name above your head at all times. Please conduct
yourself throughout the game that will earn respect from your fellow
players, not contempt. With that, we have some rules and guidelines: Be
kind and courteous throughout the game while amongst guildies and
pugging around. It means a lot to have people respect the player and the
guild. It will go far for you and the guild as a whole.
Please read the Guild Rules and familiarize yourself with the website.
Don't be a jerk, be respectful of your fellow guildies. No snide
comments about peoples' gear in guild chat. If you see something that
bothers you, whisper an officer about it. No putting guildies on ignore.
If you need quest help or assistance ask! But this doesn't mean pester, or send a tell to just one person. Be courteous.
The best ways to get quest help or instance assistance is to ask a
few people if they are going to be free and if they could help you with
something in game.
Understand that everyone is on different time tables, or have
different things going on. Guildies aren't always going to be able to
drop everything they are doing the instant you ask for help. But we all
like to help each other within reason.
Setting up raid times ahead of time is usually the best way to get
the help you need as it allows people to offer their assistance during a
time period they can set aside.
Also, speak with other guild members around your level, they most
likely have similar quests or can help you get them done. This does not
mean that higher level guildies will not help you, but there is nothing
more satisfying then triumphing and completing a quest or an event using
your own cunning and might!
Again the biggest one is ASK FOR HELP!!! It is difficult for officers
in guild and even some of us regular members to keep track of
everything that any one guild member is doing, if you don't make the
proper attempts to get help it's likely that no one will even be aware
that you needed help. Personally I have trouble even remembering half
the things I do or need to get done :( so I'm almost certain that most
others wont be aware that you need things at times unless you make it
known and put forth the effort to get help within the guild.
Guildies are here to help, to have people you can feel comfortable
grouping and raiding with, and most importantly to have people to talk
to if you just flat out need people to talk with, about game stuff or
real life stuff.
That being said we DO NOT encourage power leveling people through
instances, especially first time levelers in a class. There is a
learning curve involved in this game and many of those experiences are
learned through running instances and questing in level appropriate
This is not to say that higher levels are restricted from and
shouldn't help lower levels, as you are free to do so, but we ask that
we also don't overdose on it either :)
Please don't ask for them and please don't give them. It isn't
because we are lazy or selfish or hate you, it is really for your own
good. If people are run through instances, they hit 80 and don't know
how to play their class and have trouble getting groups and getting into
raids. This goes for alts as well, just because you leveled a mage to
80 doesn't mean that you'll know the mechanics of playing a rogue in a
If you are making a twink I'm sure your friends will give you a hand to get gear but please don't beg for runs.
We don't care about your sexual preferences just keep them to
yourself. I don't need to know yours and you don't need to know mine.
Sure people joke around and stuff but try not to take things too far...
Remember there are kids in the guild too.
Plain and simple... DON'T
Inactive toons will be removed from the guild after 2 months unless prior arrangements have been made.
We request that if you have multiple alts guilded to please edit your player note.

This LPB production revisits the life and work of renowned nineteenth-century Louisiana author Kate Chopin. She is best known for her work The Awakening, the story of a woman's self-realization that shocked the Victorian establishment. Actress Kelly McGillis (Witness) narrates the documentary and actress JoBeth Williams (The Big Chill) reads passages from Chopin's fiction.
Her early stories were well-received nationally and earned her literary fame as a "local colorist," even appearing in the first issue of Vogue. However, her career was devastated when The Awakening was published in 1899. It drew a storm of criticism for its "shocking, morbid, and vulgar" story and quickly went out of print. The novel was not resurrected until the 1950s, when its importance was recognized by participants in the growing women's movement. Today The Awakening is among the five most-read American novels in colleges and universities and is considered an early example of American realism.
National and international authorities on Chopin and Southern literature and culture contributed to this program, including Dr. Emily Toth of Louisiana State University; Elizabeth Fox-Genovese of Emory University; Barbara Ewell of Loyola University, New Orleans; R.W.B. Lewis of Yale University; Peggy Prenshaw of Louisiana State University; and Dr. Jean Bardot of France.
Kate Chopin: A Re-Awakening was produced by Tika Laudun and Lucille McDowell and directed by Tika Laudun, based on a script by Anna Reid Jhirad. The program was photographed by Rex Fortenberry and edited by Randy Ward, with digital restoration and effects by Steve Mitchum. Funding was provided in part by grants from the Louisiana Division of the Arts and the National Endowment for the Humanities.

RETAIL: Many retailers are taking cues from the upscale market, displaying fewer products to make the customer experience more pleasant.
The future of commercial interiors rests on a virtual kaleidoscope of factors. Consumer demands, workforce demographics, the economy, and the ever-growing influence of sustainability and green design are driving trends and reshaping interiors into something more future ready.
Design experts say the foundations for tomorrow's interiors have already been securely laid in the facilities being designed and redesigned today. The future interiors of tomorrow's workspaces, schools, healthcare facilities, and retail environments have taken root.
Future Retail CentersThe future of retail interiors lies in the shopper experience. Retailers now plan stores by asking, "What do we want the customer to feel like when he or she walks through our doors?" and "What do we want customers to see; what do we want them to buy?" It all comes down to creating a brand and an experience.
"Going shopping - in this culture - has become an event," says Lance Boge, design director at Gensler's New York City-based retail studio. "In a strange way, it almost recaptures the grand experience of the turn-of-the-century New York City department store. Consumers want an individualized experience; retailers are designing stores to give it to them."
The modern evolution of retail design focuses on paring down. Many retailers are taking cues from the upscale market, displaying fewer products to make it more pleasant for consumers.
Expect retailers to continue to pull out all the stops in terms of distinctive design - more multimedia settings, experimental window treatments and wallcoverings, unique floorings, and non-traditional paint colors and fixtures - anything to make a statement and be remembered by the public. "It's not just the lighting, the colors, or the sounds. It's the smells, too. There is a new trend toward including sensory smells; later on, if you smell something similar, it will trigger an impression of that store in your mind," says Barbara Walker, principal at Barbara J. Walker (BJW) Architecture Inc. in Concord, NC.
However, there is a delicate balance between what the brand demands and what the customer experience should be vs. standards imposed by developers or zoning restrictions imposed by the local municipality.
The move toward supercenters and lifestyle centers (and away from traditional enclosed shopping malls) also is affecting retail design. Each retailer in these centers wants to make its mark, particularly in settings that have a downtown, Main-Street appeal. "Developers are paying even more attention to architectural guidelines, including the interiors and exteriors of these centers," Walker notes. "They are trying to attract anchor tenants and the community while negotiating more stringent zoning requirements designed to make big-box retailers look more appealing."
Boge says that he and other designers believe retailers will continue to demand more "experience" creation. The bricks-and-mortar store, once believed to be something that would vanish with the advent of online shopping, is not only here to stay - it is also becoming an integral marketing tool. "People are actually spending more on store design and less on marketing," Boge points out. "The store has become a marketing avenue. It has become an extension of the brand."
Future ClassroomsSchool design has often reflected the flavor of the working culture. In the Industrial Revolution, schoolhouses were built like factories (and often functioned as such). As the office workplace began to dominate, schools became more flexible. A push toward the collaborative approach found in modern workplaces also drives educational design and planning. "The correlation between work and school environments is becoming seamless in furniture and materials," Tom Polucci, director of interior design at HOK, Chicago, says.
Educational furniture is seizing upon the concept of ergonomics, says Ray Bordwell, an architect based in Indianapolis. Tables are becoming more adjustable to accommodate different tasks and different children. The rigid, straight-backed chair is on the list of endangered furniture species, and is well on its way to extinction. "Kids aren't going to sit straight up with their hands folded at their desks," he says. "Chairs that don't move are going to go away."
Bordwell says that the classrooms of the future will increase in size. "You won't just have 24 kids - you'll need spaces for two students, six students, eight students, even 48 students, in some cases. You will have groups working together at times. Other times, you'll break it down by pairs of students or individuals. The furniture and the space have to adapt to these different modalities."
Future classrooms will be much more technologically sound as well. Some will remain wired, but many will move to a wireless environment as the technology continues to become less expensive to operate and maintain. "Classrooms also will have better presentation capabilities," Bordwell adds.
With multiple LCD projectors and whiteboard technology covering entire walls, information will be transmitted through document cameras and server technology.
The biggest challenge for educational facilities professionals, particularly those in the public sector, is the issue of school funding. As long as taxpayers have a say in spending, [these] changes could be slower than desired. Too often, experts note, school construction winds up being restricted because the public doesn't want to pay for it. It all comes down to educating the taxpaying public about the latest technologies and trends. "Education often falls through the cracks," Bordwell says. "As long as school construction remains a tax issue, it will be a tough battle to fight."
Future Healing EnvironmentsRemoving stark sterility from a healthcare facility and creating a healing environment have been at the forefront of the healthcare design movement. While comfortable, hospitality-inspired healing environments will continue to evolve, future healthcare interiors will also focus on flexible design that takes patient care, technology, and expansion into consideration.
This year, the Washington, D.C.-based AIA issued new guidelines with respect to the development of healing environments. This latest revision includes a major change to the Guidelines for Design and Construction of Hospital and Health Care Facilities. Hospitals are now required to create single-bed rooms for all new-construction projects.
The next advance in healthcare design lies in the concept of creating universal rooms known as "variable acuity rooms." Traditionally, a patient might start out in the ICU and eventually be moved to another room. Now, new thinking keeps patients in one place and brings necessary care to them, regardless of how their acuity and needs for medical support change. "The ability to bring care to the patient is important. It allows the patient to heal," says Elizabeth Niedzwiecki, vice president and director of healthcare design at Leo A. Daly, Atlanta. "Having a room behave like a high-acuity room, but also a going-home type of room, challenges designers to be flexible and design different functions into one space."
Tying into this concept is what designer Linda Gabel, senior associate at NBBJ in Columbus, OH, refers to as "same-handed" design, where all patient rooms and staff support spaces are designed the same to make routine tasks and treatment processes flow seamlessly from room to room (and floor to floor). "If you can make the commonplace things more intuitive, you'll have fewer errors and less stress on the staff," she says.
Gabel says this concept is designed around Lean Manufacturing principles. Evolving out of the manufacturing segment, these principles identify and eliminate waste from business processes, delivering improvements in quality, cost, and delivery. Designers are beginning to use them to create smarter healthcare environments.
Hospitals are streamlining operations during the design/construction phase as well. When a new facility is constructed, building owners no longer envision a 600-bed facility. Instead, they plan for 120-bed inpatient wards and are spending the additional money on enhanced outpatient services and areas that look less institutional (and feel more comfortable).
An improvement of design materials has also changed the way rooms and public areas are designed. Enhanced antimicrobial properties, more durable finishes, and other technological advances have given a fashionable design edge to these formerly white, sterile-looking environments. Rubber flooring is one example that has changed the look of healthcare facilities, particularly in outpatient areas, Niedzwiecki says, noting that this flooring also reduces maintenance issues. Carpet, once shunned in most healthcare settings, is starting to find a niche in facilities as stain resistance, durability, and maintenance factors improve.
Future WorkplacesGenerational impact will reshape office interiors. Over the next 25 to 35 years, the American workplace will witness a massive demographic shift; workspaces will reflect this change.
At the moment, Baby Boomers still rule the workplace and control design factors based on work habits and needs. But, their reign is starting to end as they reach retirement. Generation X (not as substantial a population as the Boomers) and the much-larger Millennials generation (also known as Generation Y) are entering the workforce. As they grow in numbers, the way workspaces are designed and used is going to change. It all comes down to the concept of working independently vs. collaboratively, notes Andrea Vanecko, principal-in-charge at Seattle-based Callison's workplace studio.
"Boomers have always worked more independently (probably 80 percent of the time) and have collaborated maybe 20 percent of the time," she says. "Millennials are the exact opposite; they want to work independently only 20 percent of the time." This shift means that walls are coming down in workspaces, which will continue as Millennials gain a strong foothold in American offices.
The challenge for the future involves making the work environment more conducive to collaboration, says Polucci. "Personal space is already getting smaller. We are trying to be more efficient in our workspaces." He indicates that clients are requesting increased collaborative space (such as small "convergence rooms," where groups can work together), phone-call rooms for private calls, and teaming rooms for few people to brainstorm together.
Currently, personal spaces make up about 70 percent of a typical office environment; collaborative spaces take up the remaining space. Expect that ratio to reverse as more Millennials join the workforce and climb the ranks into decision-making positions.
The 1:1 ratio of workspace per person also is changing. A concept known as "free address" is taking hold. In a free-address office, no one is assigned a desk. Offices are available, but instead of holing up in specific workspaces, workers move around during the day on a first-come, first-served basis. "Clearly, there are people who need assigned desks, but there also are people who don't need to be as tethered," Vanecko says. "We've learned from experience that 80 percent of workstations are often sitting vacant."
Another trend in workspaces is the push toward standardized spaces, Vanecko points out. Space standardization makes it easy to move one tenant out and another in. Facilities teams and designers can work together to create floor templates that allow different tenants (an accounting firm or an advertising firm, for example) to use the same space without having much to change out when a lease expires. For example, in a standardized space, 80 percent of the area could remain the same from tenant to tenant, while only 20 percent is changed with each new tenant.

Tom Daley Balances Diving With TV Presenting Ambition
Tom Daley, the Olympic bronze medal-winning British diver, believes that jugging multiple interests and responsibilities brings out the in best him – and his diving.
Just this past weekend, Daley, who's been studying for his A-Levels and who made a recent appearance on ITV's Splash!, won the gold medal at the Edinburgh World Series. "When I'm busy that's when I perform at my best," Daley explained to BBC Sport. "I feel when I have time off and I am just diving I struggle, so it's good to have other things on my mind."
In the recent past, Daley was criticized for his outside commitments. One of his harshest critics has been British Diving performance director Alexei Evangulov. However, Daley's performance at the Edinburgh World Series worked to soften the Russian swim coach to the 18-year-old athlete. "I'm very happy with his results because I perhaps expected a little bit less," Evangulov told BBC Radio 5 live.
"I estimated around 515 [points] for the beginning of the season, but he made 542.15 and claimed a [gold] medal against his great rivals [Victor] Minibaev and [Ivan] Garcia, so Tom did great," he added."
Daley and his mother (who wrote an open letter bashing British Swimming's chief executive David Sparkes for his unkind words against her son last year) have continually defended his busy schedule. "Diving is my main priority, it always has been and always will be until I retire because I want to make sure I give myself the best opportunity to do well," Daley told BBC Radio 2.
"But I want to be a TV presenter when I finish, so it's the same as doing school work if you want to set yourself up for a job - you need to study hard - and if you want to be a TV presenter you need to do a bit of TV work."
Daley served as a presenter at The BRIT Awards 2013 earlier this year.

The Elevation of the Cross, 1610–1611. Central panel of tritych. Cathedral of Our Lady, Antwerp
Movement, color, and sensuality— Rubens' paintings use vivid color, tenebrism, and stresses a special musculature. In this triptych, the muscular men seem unable to bear the weight of Christ. Jesus' body is foreshortened and directed at the audience creating emotional impact.
One of his major patrons (not of this painting) was Marie de' Medici, the Queen Mother of France.
This is my half-sleeve tattoo on my upper right arm.

One of my extracts was workshopped by the whole class the other day. This means that after the reading and discussion I got back a whole bunch of anonymously (well, mostly, most people simply do not put their name on them) annotated copies. Going through them to make alterations I came across one I quite liked. It was very harsh and hard-lined, and made just the same comments about it that I would. Only halfway through making the changes did I realise it was the copy I had annotated myself.

September 29 is the date when the Earth is shaken, not stirred, like a Bond.
October 18 (in the middle) is the date that we cross Earth's orbit.
October 28 is the date that Earth crosses our path.
I talked about September 2, September 9, and September 23 being significant dates.

Here's a recap of September 23: [

and what is going on now:

We continue to think in terms of the old physicality. We are still trying to hold onto old perspectives and ways of thinking.
But I'm here to tell you a new kind of physicality is at hand. (What one poster in the other thread called 'Dream Physics').
Basically, I am just telling you what is going on. I am
the only one that knows
(that is posting on the internet; old monks don't care to) what is going on right now because what is going on right now is directly related to the world and perspective that I am most familiar with.
At first, I did it passively by telling you about my world and that it is merging with your world. Good times were had and many considered it an 'excellent thread' or 'the best on GLP'. A lot of people were confused, of course, because the material is so different.
Things are happening
(as you'd call it) so I've been a bit more direct lately (albeit at the expense of being called a 'fear mongerer' by one poster for whatever reason).
Indirect = confusing and mysterious
Direct = fear mongering?
I don't think so. I'm not trying to spread "doom" or such. I am simply telling you not only what is happening, but why and
Funny thing is, the "indirect" way is very direct to me and the "direct" way is missing the point. It's all a matter of perspective, I suppose.
Regardless... it's even funnier that many of us don't believe what NASA says ("Never a Straight Answer", right?). However, we still believe a silly little java applet that ambiguously illustrates that Elenin is aligning with Earth on September 26th.
Because Elenin represents my world, I can tell you that this is not true.
No alignment occurred on September 26th, 2011.
The actual date of importance is September 29th (as I have illustrated on the crop circle link, above).
This has played out before in certain myths. Jesus being crucified (September 26) and being resurrected 3 days later. More importantly, Horus. (As I mention in my other thread, there is no history. All is value of the present moment. Your stories are not stories about the past but of the present.)
In fact, in my postings I have not mentioned September 26th at all. Only:
September 2 - It all starts
September 9 - Massive energies are received by Earth
September 23 - A date of special significance
September 29 - The Earth is shaken, not stirred. Like a bond.
October 1 - You get the doom you are obviously expecting.
(I haven't talked about later in October or November because it is highly unlikely that anyone would remotely understand the probably experiences associated with that time. The perspective is very different.)
I've started this thread in order that more persons may know what is going on now.
I also want to present to you what is likely the most important question you've ever been asked. And that is:
Why should Western civilization be saved?
In helping to answer this question, imagine that your words heavily influence what happens next.
Imagine that you are Captain Jean Luc Picard standing in front of Q at Farpoint Station, and humanity is being put on trial. (Except you are helping to explain why Western civilization should not be destroyed.)
Strangely, your words will decide the "fate" of humanity.
"Love and light" is a fantasy. It doesn't work for most of the human population. Besides that, it goes against nature when you try to force things.
What works is destruction, unfortunately.
I will be working very hard on this.

Take Control of your Email and Achieve Inbox Zero
Ahh, the mythical inbox zero.
Are you overwhelmed by email? Hundreds of emails a day and you simply can't respond to all of them? You might believe you're overwhelmed, but instead, you've stopped taking charge of your email and let it overtake you.
I'm a blogger, active in social media, and most importantly, a startup founder (and sole employee, wearing the designer, salesperson, marketing, and developer hats all at once), and I try to never forget to respond to an email. Here's how I've arranged my email so I achieve inbox-zero every day.
(I wish I was awesome enough to think of all these myself, but @shazow takes the credit for teaching me most of these.)
Use Gmail
Gmail is the best email provider out there, due to their superior spam filtering (absolutely crucial) as well as the amount of tools they provide for email management.
This doesn't mean you have to have a @gmail.com email address — I use Gmail for both my @limedaring.com and @weddingtype.com email addresses. It's simple to set up Gmail so you can receive and send email using a different domain.
Note: I know priority inbox exists, but I've found this system to be superior and faster for going through your emails once you have it set up.
Be aggressive about what you receive.
Is there a newsletter that you immediately delete it without reading every time it arrives? Unsubscribe from every piece of random email that you don't read as soon as you get one. No unsubscribe link? Mark as spam and move on. Be honest with yourself — when I look at most people's overwhelmed inboxes, it seems like half of them are random newsletters.
Label and remove from inbox all other newsletters and unimportant emails.
Inbox is empty (so I've taken care of important stuff), unimportant are filtered out.
Any pleasure reads and newsletters that aren't important first thing in the day should be filtered from your inbox into a custom label. Get it out of your inbox and therefore out of the "unread" count — we're trying to make it so your unread count is only unread important emails.
Open the email you want to filter, and under "More actions", choose "Filter messages like these". Create a filter that accurately grabs all current and past emails (check with "Test Search") then choose "Skip the Inbox (Archive it)" and "Apply the Label" with a label that describes the type of email.
Some of the emails I use this for: Newsletters, Twitter notifications, email groups, etc. Essentially, if you don't need to read it, move it out of the inbox and into a waiting area where you can read at your own leisure.
Multiple inboxes + stars.
I normally have the extra inboxes showing 15 at a time, but I changed it to five just for the screenshot.
Now that unimportant, repeating emails are filtered, the goal is to go through the entire inbox of items every morning, and sort them if needed.
Gmail allows you to star items as needed, and combining this with multiple inboxes is a huge timesaver.
Pick panel titles that are descriptive. Donated goods is an inbox I set up for just this week to keep track of a promotion I'm running.
- First, head to Gmail Labs (click the gear in the top right of Gmail, and head to "Labs") and scroll until you see "Multiple Inboxes" and enable it.
- Set up a system for starring. In Gmail settings in the first tab, there is a section known as "Stars". Hover your mouse over the stars for their names (important for filters). Then choose which stars you will use for which filters: "yellow-star" as to-dos, "blue-star" as important documents, etc.
- Since you've enabled multiple inboxes, head to the "Multiple Inboxes" tab in Gmail settings. There, you can add extra panes to Gmail, and assign them a search query ("has:yellow-star") and a title ("To-do:").
- Now that your inboxes are set up, when you start reading your newest batch of email in the morning (the normal inbox), star appropriately and archive anything that you need to act on or keep but you aren't going to do anything with immediately. On the Gmail home page, those archived and starred emails should appear in the lower panes so they're still accessible, but not cluttering up your email anymore.
Use the to-do inbox liberally.
When you check your main inbox, respond to as many short things as possible, but don't get bogged down with big responses. If there are any emails that require more than a minute of attention and response time, immediately star it with whichever star is your "to-do" star and archive. It'll pop into your separate inbox, where, once you finished going through your incoming mail, you can pay attention to it.
The main reason this is important is so you can get an overview of your email and the tasks you need to do before diving into any of the tasks. If there is an important email hidden under some mostly-but-not-as-important emails, you'll see it before you've started taking major time to respond to others. You'll quickly know everything you need to do when you first check your email, then you prioritize which emails to act on first.
Pro tip: You can also send emails to yourself with tasks and mark as To-do, turning that pane into a complete to-do list.
Keyboard shortcuts.
Now that stars and multiple inboxes are set up, activate and learn basic Gmail keyboard shortcuts. Head back to Labs and activate "Custom keyboard shortcuts". The basic ones I use every day are:
- "j": Next email in the inbox.
- "k": Previous email in the inbox.
- "[": Archive current email and go to the next email in the inbox (most used).
- "]": Archive current email and go to the previous email in the inbox.
Now when you're opening your email for the first time in the morning, click the top one, read quickly, and decide whether to archive it immediately or star it and archive it for later (or unsubscribe or set up a new filter). Start clearing out your inbox by starring as needed, responding quickly to other emails, and clicking "[" as needed to move through your emails as fast as possible.
Use canned responses to respond to and write emails quickly.
I manually approve every account on WeddingInviteLove, meaning I send a lot of account approved (and unapproved) emails every week. To make things faster, I have basic templates I've set up where the majority of the email is filled in, with spots to add personal details if needed. A serious time-saver, if you find yourself writing the same email over and over.
Yet another Google Labs feature, under "Canned Responses".
Last and most important step.
Once you have everything set up correctly and you're facing your inbox of 3000 unread emails, start at the top. Use keyboard shortcuts to go through the emails quickly, unsubscribing from things you forgot to from before, responding to things that only need 30 seconds of attention, starring things that need more, and archiving anything important but needing no response. Do this as long as you wish.
Once you're exhausted, select everything in your inbox and mark as read and archive all.
If there is something important in there, it's already buried so deep that you won't find it anyways. If someone wants a response, they will email you again, and at that point, your inbox should be way less scary and you can actually respond promptly.
DON'T ignore this step. It's imperative that you start from a blank slate so it's easier to not fall behind.
Bonus: Use Rapportive for information on those emailing you.
One of the best Gmail plugins out there (disclaimer: I freelanced with Rapportive and designed their website back in the day.) Don't know who's emailing you? Let Rapportive pull up their picture, company, Twitter/Facebook profiles, and other information. Doesn't help you go through your email, but makes your important emails hold more data. Great for at-a-glance information.
Any other tips? I've love to hear about them — comment, or email me at email@example.com (and you already know I'll respond to you ;) ).

Juliet loves books. Her favorite thing to do every day is to raid Drake's bookshelf and immerse herself in his books…literally.
At bed time Juliet loves rocking with me as I read to her, but because of her age and attention span it's hard to get her to sit and listen to all books. Over time as I've read from Drake's shelves, I've come to see which books seem to grab her attention. For the most part all of the books she likes and wants me to read again and again have some kind of flaps or movement or pop out. I am starting to look into more books of that nature to get her to keep her engaged and continue with her love of reading.

Vega's founder Brendan Brazier @vegateam just started a free online health and performance program called "Thrive Forward". It's a very cool idea, designed to teach you about food basics and tackle you own health problems or concerns by breaking them down into groups.
For example if you have problems sleeping he has a whole section on finding out why you're having problems and what foods can help. There's sections on mood, optimal weight, stress and immune function.
I just signed up for Thrive Forward and I think you should too, it can benefit everyone. If you know more, you can help yourself more. I hope people sign up and support Brendan and Vega but purchasing their products so they keep doing great stuff like this.
Go check out thriveforward.com to sign up and learn more, also be sure to look at myvega.com to see all they have to offer.
just signed up and you should too.
