I'm not goin to answer your question (because i don't know) but one other thing I would put into consideration is whether or not you will be collecting other pieces of T9 or not
OK I am really torn between the t9 or the triumph badge shoulders...Pros of the triumph shoulders parry dodge about 40 more strength a bit more stam Pros of the t9 more def lots more dodge but the cons of this are the strength on these are the same as t 7.5 shoulders not much stam and no parry. The t9 does have expertise how important is that I have 27 exp atm. Please tell me what you think I would love to hear what you guys think!
I'm not goin to answer your question (because i don't know) but one other thing I would put into consideration is whether or not you will be collecting other pieces of T9 or not
I have to say I came here with the SAME question.
My thoughts are this:
The t9 costs 50% less (30 badges v. 45) and so you can gear up elsewhere faster (like that RING! THE RING! I NEED THAT RING!)
The t9 has a two-piece set bonus that is very decent for threat generation (lowers an attack CD, as well as ups damage on another attack)
The Triumph badges have the benefit of providing about 125 total mitigation (dodge+parry+block through strength buff), whereas t9's offer about 75. My current shoulders offer me approximately 60 (the Aurous shoulderplates from H ToC 5man)
The t9's offer a blue socket, the Triumph has a red (not that it matters overly). The triumph will grant you an additional 20 stam over the t9's, in addition to a huge 40 str more. (that might offset the lack of threat from not havign an eventual set bonus)
i don't have much in the way of threat problems, but will have to tweak an enchant or so to get back to hit-capping, as my current shoulders carry +hit. The t9's have a nice little bit of exp (nowhere near that cap myself), and the Triumphs carry nothing of the sort, they are entirely defense based.
Oh, defense i'm at approximately 552, and the t9's are actually a smidgen better than the Triumph shoulders by 7 points, somehow, even being a lower iLvl.
So hopefully, that info might help push you in one direction over the other (I am leaning towards the Triumphs for the overall mitigation bump), and I hope that other people will chime in with their thoughts!
Triumph emblem gear is 245, t9(conqueror's) is 232. The T9 (triumphant) is 245 and needs a trophy of the crusade + same number of emblems (so you end up paying more sadly).
On balance the discount is really nice for something that's just a tier lower.
Yeah, i get the tiers entirely. And the Triumph shoulders ARE better overall. i am just wondering if they are significantly improved to validate me grinding out another 15 emblems and committing what amounts to 23 days of dailies to this one item.
Obviously, from the above, you can tell i am not a Heroic Ulduar geared tank at all, and so I think I will grab the lesser t9 shoulders and then spread my emblems into upgrading me overall (ring and libram seem to be very nice too), and try to earn my way into the bigger raids in my guild, and then take aim at a couple of these really high-end pieces.
well problem solved I won the trophy tonight t 9.5 here I come : )
As nice as the emblem (non tier) shoulders are, the Tier9 set bonuses more than make up for the difference. Reduced taunt cooldown and increased Devastate damage are very nice features both by themselves and in combination with the Tier8 2 bonus that increases Devastates crit chance.
Getting to the Tier9 4 bonus is a solid mitigation feature. Shield block goes from a 40 second cooldown (with talents) to a 30 second cooldown. That means you now have 100% block rating up for 1/3 of every minute instead of 1/4.
Set bonuses are win.
Save your badges and get a trophie for the T9 (25 man). thats what i am doing... i got my t9(25 man) Gloves. and almost got enough for the shoulders (which might be ym next purchase)...
But both the Badge and the T9 (25man) are the same... if you cant get a trophie get the badge one... if u can get a trophie get the t9 25 man
I'm only going for 2 pieces of t9, shoulders and hands so I just need another trophy for my shoulders then I can start buying the helm and ring.
With the extreme lack of hit on most of the ToC gear, the legs seem kind of mandatory for me. Given the lack of an alternative to t9 gloves and that the shoulders and chest are fairly equal in itemization to other alternatives, I think I'll most likely try on the 4pc for size and see how it does.

This attractive toaster works well and looks great in our kitchen. The cancel button works perfectly, and sliced bagels are toasted with no problem.
I am very pleased with this toaster. It Is built very solid. Have had many toasters over the years, I would rate this above any of them. Toasts very evenly and the defrost feature actually defrosts then toasts. Great for frozen waffles, pancakes etc., Easy to use.
Toasts great , and is wonderful for bagels or texas toast. Easy to learn your prefered settings. Looks great too.
So far so good. Just got the product and it operates as advertised.
The toaster is great so far. However, it doesn't do a great job of adequately browning thicker, denser breads like 100% rye, which requires two "toastings" to get it crunchy. The toaster it replaced was a Krups which did a great job for awhile and after 2 years failed completely.....hopefully this one will last longer..

Youtube was working well before (when I used other distros... so I don't know why it doesn't work well now... perhaps I need some Blag update(?)
And the issue with Grooveshark is that they say that I can use the HTML5 version without Flash... but (again) I don't know if I have to download something to run HTML5 on Blag140

We are working on it; for now it works with fedora repo so you'll not have problem to update or install file. You'll see there is claws as mail client by default; of course you may stay with it but blag default mail is sylpheed.
PS: you may stay with 140k if you want but think it'll be better to use fedora 14 repos.
PS 2: gnash 0.8.9 is on blag 140k repo.

If i remember correctly, you also need gstreamer-ffmpeg and possibly gstreamer-plugins-bad to get youtube working with gnash. You will find both in the rpmfusion-free repo, which must be added manually if you want it. The configuration for BLAG 140k (fedora 14) is no longer on the rpmfusion site, but you should be able to set it up by doing as root:
rpm -ivh http://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/releases/14/Everything/i386/os/rpmfusion-free-release-14-0.4.noarch.rpm
Substitute "i386" with "x86_64" if you are on a 64-bit system. Then run "yum update". The first time you install something from the rpmfusion repo you will be asked if you want to accept their gpg key.
As for html5 (assuming that you are using Icecat as browser)it might be because the files are encoded with a non-free codec like h264. Mozilla have until recently been reluctant to support these.
Fedora 14 (and so 140k) is no longer being actively updated. As Junichirô suggests, feel free to try 160k. It is very stable by now, and you get newer versions of everything:)

While we were slouching on the sofa watching Strictly followed by X Factor followed by Homeland wearing our comfiest jumpsuit, those A-list types were flaunting their glad rags at fancy shindigs across the globe. Firstly, there were gorgeously co-ordinated couples from David and Victoria Beckham having dinner with Anna Wintour et al to Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux - Jen was flashing her bling engagement ring as well as her *ahem* ample assets in a super-slinky plunging gown by none other than Tom Ford. On the streets, Kate Moss and Rihanna were working off-duty style to perfection and model Magdalena Frackowiak caught our eye thanks to her sheer maxi dress with gold accents. But it was the LACMA 2012 Art + Film Gala that provided most glitz with Florence Welch, Cameron Diaz and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley swathing themselves in Gucci gear to pose at the event. We've scoured this weekend's top looks to bring you the best dressed in the gallery above. Enjoy!

Craft beers are taking the brewing world – and Ireland – by storm. So join other beer lovers in tasting the delicious wares of the island's microbreweries and small-scale producers
Think you're a beer buff? Think again. There are people out there who take this stuff REALLY seriously. "They call themselves the beer-nerds. Nice guys," says bartender Joann Erickson of the people who pop into her pub – notebook in hand – when the seasonal craft beers come in.
But just because you don't travel around bars with a notebook at the ready, doesn't mean you can't join in.
Prop yourself up at Joann's place of work, Dublin's JW Sweetman, and you can get an instant tutorial in microbrewing. Shining copper tanks bulge inside the pub, and you can often see the head brewer at work on the very ales you're sipping.
JW Sweetman's five in-house brews range from a classic Irish stout to a crisp lager, and the five-sample tray is the best way to experience the lot.
"The whole artisan beer scene is going into orbit in Ireland," wrote the Godmother of Irish cooking, Darina Allen in the Irish Examiner. And with a discerning population to taste it, and the world-famous Irish pub to sell it in, it's a wonder it took so long.
If you're looking to get acquainted with what's out there, amble down to the Oslo Bar and microbrewery in Salthill, just outside Galway city. Oslo is one of six pubs operated by the Galway Bay Brewery between Galway and Dublin, all guaranteeing extensive menus. In their Black Sheep Pub in Dublin, there are 23 craft beers on tap and over 110 craft brews on offer.
The staff is the real prize here, though, eager to assist navigation of the numerous choices.
Cork city holds dear its Franciscan Well Brewery and brewpub. The stout is piped straight from the brewery, while hulking, holding tanks of ale glimmer behind the bar.
Northern Ireland's largest microbrewery, Whitewater, runs the White Horse Inn, as well as supplying casks to the likes of Belfast's Crown Bar Saloon. The gas-lit, handcrafted wooden interior is one of the prettiest places to taste Whitewater or Hilden's latest brews. Molly's Chocolate Stout is a taste for the adventurous, though, and is best experienced at Molly's Yard pub next to Belfast's College Green microbrewery.
After The New York Times pulled up a chair at the bar of Dublin's L. Mulligan Grocer recently, it listed some local craft brews it would love to drink when back in the America. The wish-list included Belfast Blonde, Galway Hooker, and Eight Degrees Knockmealdown Porter.
Ireland's craft beer revolution has even hit Reddit. A recent thread about Irish craft brews elicited the following response from one user: "I really hope Irish craft brewing takes off to the point where I can find a few in the US."
Here's hoping.
For the original, though, you know where we are.

Surgery can help get rid of underarm jiggle
Published On: Sep 27 2012 03:35:46 PM EDT Updated On: Oct 09 2012 03:30:11 PM EDT
How many triceps dips do you do each time you're at the gym in hopes of getting rid of that annoying jiggle under your arm?
If the workouts aren't getting you the results you want, surgery is an option.
Brachioplasty, or an arm lift, can reduce the excess skin and fat between your underarm and elbow, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. This surgery will reshape your arm to give it a more toned appearance and give you smoother skin.

Great Product By zedagyrl on 11/14/2014zedagyrl would recommend this product to a friendI prefer this carbon over other carbon because of the low dust. This will be the only product I use in my tank.
Excellent carbon By Jim on 11/13/2014Jim would recommend this product to a friendI've used many different GACs in the past - this is by far the best. Very little rinsing required - I just put it in a BRS reactor and rinse under tap water for about a minute. No fines released into tank water. Two cups last about a month on my heavily stocked 150 mixed reef.
Excellent choice By Greg on 10/31/2014Greg would recommend this product to a friendWhile I can't say that I'm positive this is better then any other carbon. I like that it takes less water to rinse it.
Works Great By Marta on 10/29/2014Marta would recommend this product to a friendAlmost no dust. It's simply the best carbon I've ever used. You definitely get what you pay for.
Excellent product, but not my first choice. By Charles on 10/27/2014Charles would recommend this product to a friendI used this product in my TLF reactor. It is an excellent carbon that does a much better than average job of keeping the water clean.
I suggest the white bucket test to check how well your carbon works.
I have only two reasons why this is not my first choice. The size and shape of the carbon particles.
I personally prefer the spherical beads of Sea Chem Matrix carbon. The beads are bigger and seem to have better hydrodynamic properties to me. This might be flow dependent or reactor dependent.. So please know that I would not generalize my anecdote to all tanks.
Both are excellent products, but I had trouble with this one going through filter pads. Neither one has much dust. I think that matrix carbon clumps a little less over time.
You can't go wrong with either product as long as you change it when your bucket test show yellow water.
The Best AC for your tank By Mohamed on 10/25/2014Mohamed would recommend this product to a friendI use the ROX 0.8 in my BRS dual media reactor and I can't be happier, in the past I've used many different activated carbon for my tank and I only liked the ROX, because the small media size I can use more media within the same given space in the reactor and thus I can add more within the reactor. Additionally it clear for me that the media do actually last longer and absorbs more and as a result I have crystal clear water that is hard to distinguish between it and between the top-up water I use.
Excellent carbon By June2881 on 10/16/2014June2881 would recommend this product to a friendI use this carbon in a 2 little fishies reactor and couldn't be happier. Does an excellent job keeping water clean. Less is required and in my opinion goes a much longer way than other types of carbon. I've only ever used in a reactor but I'm sure using in a bag will be quite effective.
Works Great By Christopher on 10/14/2014Christopher would recommend this product to a friendBeen using this Carbon for about a year and it's great. Works very fast - takes that yellow hue out of the water in about a day. Never had any issues with powderizing in my reactor and getting into the water column. Awesome stuff and great for the price. Worth the little extra. Thanks for a great product guys.
super quality carbon period. By Ivan on 8/26/2014Ivan would recommend this product to a friendthis is a great high quality carbon it doesn't hold a candle to what i used to use in freshwater tanks years ago. do yourself a favor and watch the video, you will be sold. 4 stars because i believe the price could come down just a little.
Only carbon I use, works great and does its job By DOMINICK on 8/21/2014DOMINICK would recommend this product to a friendOnly carbon I use, works great and does its job
Lasts much longer By Brian on 8/16/2014Brian would recommend this product to a friendI know it is a bit more expensive, but you get much longer use out of this carbon.
Good, but annoying By Matt on 8/3/2014Matt would recommend this product to a friendSo, I've been using Seachem Matrix Carbon in my Aquamaxx reactor for a while with no issues. i saw a good deal on the Rox at BRS, and (after all of the good word of mouth I've heard) I decided to try it.
Well, I can say it works well, at least as well as the Seachem Matrix which is a little more expensive.
BUT, it's really painful to use. Rinsing isn't even really that necessary, there's very little dust. The annoying part is that it's very small, and goes right through two filter pads. I had to add a filter sock to the output of the reactor to catch it all (a good amount had made it into my tank by now).
TL;DR - Good carbon, just be ready for it to escape into your tank and add a filter sock to your carbon reactor.

Previously Asked Questions
by Robert on February 28, 2014, @5:15 PM
How much carbon should I use? What's the carbon to gallon ratio for this carbon? Planning on putting it my my BRS dual reactor. Thanks!!
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Robert,
With the ROX carbon it comes out to 1 tablespoon per 10g of water. Or if you want to do the math the easy way, use the reef calculator found at this link:
by wing on January 20, 2014, @9:17 AM
How long will the media brs GFO high capacity & Premium POX 0.8 carbon be changed?
Bulk Reef Supply Its best to change carbon every two weeks. GFO on the other hand will vary depending on the amount of phosphates in the water. No need to change it until its depleted. Typically this is 4-6 weeks assuming normal dosages and normal phosphate levels but the best thing to do is monitor your phosphates for an increase, and change the GFO when the phosphates begin to rise.
by David on April 4, 2014, @6:01 PM
Which reactor do you recommend for the ROX 0.8 carbon? Do you have one that will compress it and keep it between filter pads where it can't escape to the tank?
Bulk Reef Supply Hey David,
The standard BRS reactor I think is the best for the ROX carbon. Its filter pads are fine enough that the carbon stays inside of them. There are a lot of great reactors out there, but with most of the other ones you will need to custom cut some filter floss material to keep the carbon from going through the sponges as its quite small.
by Rick on October 28, 2013, @11:56 AM
What kind of carbon is recommended to run in a reactor
Bulk Reef Supply Hey Rick,
It really depends on the reactor. The ROX carbon is the best carbon we sell, but because of its small particle size its well suited to reactors whose sponges have large holes in them. For those types of reactors the lignite carbon will be the best bet as its still performs better then most carbons while being a larger particle size.
ROX 0.8 is a specialty carbon extruded into tiny, extremely hard pellets resulting in less dust and reducing the amount of fines released into the water. It features high numbers of large and small pores giving it all the advantages of both lignite and bituminous carbons. ROX 0.8 will make your water crystal clear faster with less material.
BRS purchases our carbon directly from the manufacturer so we can offer the best carbon at reasonable prices. While most companies claim their carbon is the best, our statement is backed with true science and real numbers. Carbon is not created equal. Different sizes, shapes, and materials will perform with drastically varying results.

Quote:February 10, 2006 White House Knew of Levee's Failure on Night of Storm By ERIC LIPTONWASHINGTON, Feb. 9 In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Bush administration officials said they had been caught by surprise when they were told on Tuesday, Aug. 30, that a levee had broken, allowing floodwaters to engulf New Orleans.But Congressional investigators have now learned that an eyewitness account of the flooding from a federal emergency official reached the Homeland Security Department's headquarters starting at 9:27 p.m. the day before, and the White House itself at midnight
Quote:Republicans' Report on Katrina Assails Response By ERIC LIPTONWASHINGTON, Feb. 12 House Republicans plan to issue a blistering report on Wednesday that says the Bush administration delayed the evacuation of thousands of New Orleans residents by failing to act quickly on early reports that the levees had broken during Hurricane Katrina.A draft of the report, to be issued by an 11-member, all-Republican committee, says the Bush administration was informed on the day Hurricane Katrina hit that the levees had been breached, even though the president and other top administration officials earlier said that they had learned of the breach the next day. That delay was significant, the report says, rejecting the defense given by the White House and the Department of Homeland Security that the time it took to recognize the breach did not significantly affect the response."If the levees breached and flooded a large portion of the city, then the flooded city would have to be completely evacuated," the draft report says. "Any delay in confirming the breaches would result in a delay in the post-landfall evacuation of the city." It adds that the White House itself discounted damage reports that later proved true.The report, by the select House committee examining the government's response to Hurricane Katrina, is the first of three major investigations into the subject; the others, for which reports are expected within one or two months, are being conducted by a Senate committee and by the White House. The House report blames all levels of government, from the White House to Gov. Kathleen Babineaux Blanco of Louisiana to Mayor C. Ray Nagin of New Orleans, for the delayed response to the storm."Our investigation revealed that Katrina was a national failure, an abdication of the most solemn obligation to provide for the common welfare," the draft says. "At every level individual, corporate, philanthropic and governmental we failed to meet the challenge that was Katrina. In this cautionary tale, all the little pigs built houses of straw."A White House spokesman said that President Bush was now focused on the future, not the past. A Department of Homeland Security spokesman said that Michael D. Brown, the former director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency, was partly to blame for failing to make timely reports to his superiors. The response to Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath, in which about 1,400 people died along the Gulf Coast, raises troubling questions about the nation's ability to react to other threats to domestic security, the draft report says."If this is what happens when we have advance warning, we shudder to imagine the consequences when we do not," the draft says, referring to the potential for a terror attack. "Four and a half years after 9/11, America is still not ready for prime time." Democrats declined to appoint members to the committee, raising concerns that the group would produce a whitewash, though several House Democrats participated in committee discussions. After the Republican report was prepared, Democrats praised it in a written response for being comprehensive and detailed, though they complained that it did not hold enough individual officials accountable and continued their call for an independent commission.What is most disturbing about the hurricane response, the draft report says, is that the entire catastrophe was so easily foreseen given the weather reports and the precarious position of New Orleans as a below-sea-level city in a major hurricane zone yet still the response was so flawed.
Quote:Lacking Biolabs, Trailers Carried Case for WarAdministration Pushed Notion of Banned Iraqi Weapons Despite Evidence to ContraryBy Joby WarrickWashington Post Staff WriterWednesday, April 12, 2006; Page A01On May 29, 2003, 50 days after the fall of Baghdad, President Bush proclaimed a fresh victory for his administration in Iraq: Two small trailers captured by U.S. and Kurdish troops had turned out to be long-sought mobile "biological laboratories." He declared, "We have found the weapons of mass destruction."The claim, repeated by top administration officials for months afterward, was hailed at the time as a vindication of the decision to go to war. But even as Bush spoke, U.S. intelligence officials possessed powerful evidence that it was not true.A secret fact-finding mission to Iraq -- not made public until now -- had already concluded that the trailers had nothing to do with biological weapons. Leaders of the Pentagon-sponsored mission transmitted their unanimous findings to Washington in a field report on May 27, 2003, two days before the president's statement.

Making History
The College of Saint Elizabeth Volleyball Record Book is now available!
In 1994, Screaming Eagles volleyball began its journey at the NCAA III level. As a member of the Association of Independents and of the Hudson Valley Women's Athletic Conference, the team experienced a good deal of success, earning quarter-final and semi-final berths numerous times in the conference tournament.
In 2008, their final year as member of the HVWAC, the Screaming Eagles enjoyed one of their best years in the conference, placing second in the regular season with a 5W-1L record and reaching the semi-final of the conference tournament. In recognition of their regular season work and post-season tournament endeavors, Renee Windeknecht, Isabel Machuca and Irena Moore were named to the HVWAC Volleyball All-Conference Team.
In 2009, the College of Saint Elizabeth entered a new chapter in its athletic history as it joined the North Eastern Athletic Conference. In its inaugural season, Irena Moore earned the NJAIAW Woman of the Year award celebrated at Seton Hall University. In 2011, co-captain Chanice Sears earned the same distinction after leading the Screaming Eagles to its most successful season overall in the history of the program during that year.
During the 2012 campaign, the Screaming Eagles had its most successful campaign in program history under Head Coach Tony Martins posting a program's best 22W-7L record in 2012.
The 2012 Screaming Eagles posted a program best 22W, the best overall record (22W-7L), the most wins in the NEAC since CSE joined the conference (6W), the best team record in the NEAC since CSE joined the conference (6W-5L) and tied the highest finish ever in the NEAC (6th).
After opening up with a loss to start the 2014 season, the Eagles won their next 5 matches including wins over Kings College, John Jay, and Bryn Aythn. CSE dropped their next 2 contests before defeating Rosemont College, 3-0. Following the win, the Eagles hit a rough patch, losing 11 of their next 13 games to fall to 8-14 on the season. Following the losing streak, the Eagles won their next 3 games before dropping the following 2. With a 11-16 record, the Eagles won their final 6 games including wins over Cobleskill, Cazenovia, and York, to finish the season with a 17-16 record. Subhana Wrights lead the team with 319 kills, 45 blocked shots, and 390 points. Katie Cooper added 461 digs, 123 sets, and 89 service aces.

By KRISTEN GELINEAU
Associated Press
SYDNEY (AP) - The Australian radio station behind a hoax phone call to the London hospital where the pregnant Duchess of Cambridge was being treated could face criminal charges for airing the conversation, legal experts said Tuesday.
Last week's prank was widely condemned days after it aired, after the still-unexplained death of a nurse who answered the phone and helped two DJs get confidential information about the former Kate Middleton's health. But when it comes to a potential criminal case, the question is not about the death; it's whether a private conversation was broadcast without the permission of the participants.
Violators could be sentenced to prison, but it's unclear who at radio station 2DayFM or its parent company, Southern Cross Austereo, made the decision to air the call. The DJs have said executives above them made the decision, but a former 2DayFM host who orchestrated many pranks for the station said DJs were always involved in such decisions while she was there.
Southern Cross Austereo has said the station had tried five times to contact the hospital, but privacy law expert Barbara McDonald said that could prove to be an inadequate defense.
"Seems to me that saying, `We tried to call,' shows that they knew they should, and they've made a decision to go ahead knowing that they have not got permission," said McDonald, a law professor at the University of Sydney. "I don't know whether it makes the situation better, or worse."
The New South Wales state Surveillance Devices Act prohibits the broadcast of recorded private conversations without participants' permission, with violations punishable by up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to 55,000 Australian dollars ($58,000).
McDonald said the Commercial Radio Code of Practice has a similar ban, but she added that even if Australia's media watchdog found violations, the most extreme punishment _ loss of license _ is almost unheard of.
Australian authorities have said little about any possible investigation. State police have said only that they've been in contact with their London counterparts and are ready to assist them in any British investigation.
Radio hosts Mel Greig and Michael Christian called London's King Edward VII Hospital last week. Pretending to be Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles, they asked for word on the Duchess of Cambridge, who had been suffering from severe morning sickness. Jacintha Saldanha, the nurse who answered the phone, put them through to the ward, and the duo received confidential information on the duchess' condition that was later aired.
The radio station trumpeted the prank call until Friday, when Saldanha was found dead. Police have not disclosed the cause of Saldanha's death, but many have assumed it was related to the stress from the call. An autopsy was to be held Tuesday.
Grieg and Christian tearfully apologized for the prank in televised interviews Monday, after days of condemnation in countless Internet posts around the world.
Southern Cross Austereo also has apologized, and stopped running any advertising on 2DayFM following Saldanha's death. On Tuesday it issued a statement announcing that ads would resume Thursday, with all profits for the rest of December to be donated to "an appropriate fund that will directly benefit" Saldanha's family. The company said it would donate at least 500,000 Australian dollars ($525,000).
Austereo has repeatedly insisted that it followed the law. The company said in a statement Monday that the segment underwent an internal legal review before it was broadcast.
The company "does not consider that the broadcast of the segment has breached any relevant law, regulation or code," Austereo said, adding it would cooperate with any investigation.
On Monday, Austereo CEO Rhys Holleran said 2DayFM had tried five times, without success, to contact the London hospital to discuss the prank before it aired. The King Edward VII Hospital denied its management had been contacted by 2DayFM.
Media law expert Mark Pearson said that even if the station had tried to contact the hospital, that isn't enough under the law. He said permission must be granted by the person involved.
If the case went to court, it is possible that a judge could decide that an attempt at getting permission was sufficient, but only if the lawyers could prove that any "reasonable person" would agree that enough was done, said Pearson, a journalism professor at Bond University in Queensland state. He considered such a ruling to be a longshot.
"I think lawyers would be hard-pressed to argue that a few unprovable phone calls was enough to show that there had been a reasonable attempt to get permission," he said.

An estimated 70 percent of all adults will at some time experience swelling and discomfort associated with an irritation of the hemorrhoids. This sensitive tissue lines the lower section of the rectum and anus, is filled with nerve endings, and is prone to stretching and infection. Although this condition is generally not considered a major health issue, persons with inflamed bowel tissue find it difficult to relieve themselves of the pain and swelling unless a topical medication is applied.
Changes in diet and lifestyle may also decrease the frequency and intensity of symptoms. Here are a few natural hemorrhoid treatment remedies that have been proven successful in the alleviation of swollen hemorrhoidal cushions.
The Condition And Its Causes
Hemorrhoid is the term usually given to the condition, used either singularly or in plural form. In actuality, everyone has this cushioning tissue. The word defines the tissue layer that protects the near-exterior portion of the rectum. There are two types of tissue as the word applies to a swollen condition.
The first type is internal tissue. This is inside the anal cavity, and discomfort can be brought on by the passing of hardened stool. Some individuals experience painless bleeding when suffering from this type of condition.
The second type is external tissue. Swelling of the tissue adjacent to the anal opening is often caused by wearing poorly fitted clothing, by sitting for great lengths of time, or by small abrasions that become infected.
Eating Healthier
Most nutritionists and medical experts agree that a diet high in fiber will go a long way in reducing the frequency of symptoms. Many of the natural diet supplements currently on the market are high in fiber content, with the directions and intended use of the product clearly targeted to those who suffer from hemorrhoidal pain. Treatment and prevention through the ingesting of dietary fiber is the most recommended solution by health professionals.
Fiber softens stool because it absorbs water readily. The softened stool can more easily pass through the rectum without irritating the surrounding tissue. Psyllium is the most popular dietary fiber supplement, usually sold in powdered form.
Other Natural Food Supplements
Bioflavonoids are naturally occurring compounds produced by many different plant species. Bioflavonoids are thought to strengthen and straighten blood vessels, the result being less pressure on the anal tissue.
Witch hazel cream has long been known to alleviate symptoms of enlarged or swollen hemorrhoidal tissue. This cream contains compounds that act as an astringent. The product is also available in a liquid gel and medicated pads.
Knee holly, also known as butcher's broom, is another natural remedy for hemorrhoidal pain. This plant contains specialized compounds that have been shown to constrict swollen blood veins. It is a particularly effective as an anti-inflammatory natural hemorrhoids treatment. The product is most often sold in capsule or loose tea form.
Remember that not all of the natural treatment options for hemorrhoid pain are safe for everyone. Individuals with high blood pressure or who are currently being treated for cancer should check with their physician before using natural remedies. Although these plant compounds are regarded as food products, they may negatively interfere with certain prescription medications.

I would think, for those of you with assigned ranks, you could probably photoshop it and use it appropriately as part of your sig. Do be sure to indicate where you hold rank (i.e., if it for FC papers, then that is one "place"; if it is your SFB papers rank, that is another "place"). That way any confusion should be minimized.

FC papers and SFB papers (and F&E papers and Starmada papers and Starfleet Command papers) all combine points into one single rank. In theory, a player could go from ensign to lieutenant commander in a single issue by doing one of each that got published.
The FC forum rank (based on the number of posts) is a different thing.

Located on Tafelland, a Class-K planet in Federation Space, Donjebruche Trading Post is an adjunct to the Grenveldt colony. Close to the Klingon border, and near enough to Kzinti space to allow easy peacetime trade, the trading post is a convenient stop for traders and travelers in the area. Being less than a thousand parsecs from the infamous Orion Pirate bastion known as Mad Jack's Hole, Donjebruche Trading Post has also become a legal point of sale for purloined items that are "laundered" by the Orions and ready to re-enter the market.
Donjebruche Trading Post is a very cosmopolitan "town" (numbering 10,000 people by the time of the General War). The town is fed (literally) by the agricultural community of Groenveldt (which regards Donjebruche as "sin city", their residents rarely going there). The town of Donjebruche existed before the Federation reached this area and was not originally a formal colony. The legal status of the town is less clear than the official Federation records would seem to indicate, and residents of the town regard themselves more as citizens of Donjebruche than citizens of the Federation.
There are a dozen large mining complexes around the planet, all of them in desert areas. These have populations from a few thousand to 20,000 and are effectively small independent "company towns". All of their citizens regard Donjebruche as the place to go and have a good time or to do some shopping.

SVC wrote about PD20M Federation: I cloned the file and converted all of the GURPS stuff to PD20M progress levels. I did numerous checks, as did Petrick. Jean phoned in the last fixes, and Petrick had four final things to fix, and the book was officially finished at 7:09pm. (That is Central Time. -- Jean)

Here's the thing on GURPS.
Yesterday, I cloned the generic files and fixed the TL things.
Today, I'll extract all of the old species stats and send them to Jean. She may take 1d6 days to get them updated and sent back to me, and another 1d6 days to send me the new ones. Then it will take me a day to insert them and reflow pages. Jean also has some stuff to work over in the style sheet situation. Figure a total of two weeks.
Then we send a hard copy to SJ his own self. Figure 1d6+2 weeks until we get a report back from him, and 1d6 weeks to make the fixes and get final approval.
Then we have to "announce the book to the trade" and give them 60-100 days of warning that it's coming out so the wholesalers can compile pre-orders from stores. There are other considerations. We don't want it coming out in the same month as another big book as the print engines cannot handle three at once and struggle with two. No new products are shipped between mid-November and mid-January because the industry doesn't buy new products in that period. And so forth.
So, we could see GURPS FEDS released in mid-November if everything goes perfectly, and in mid-January if not.

Steve and Jean:
Thanks for the info and the work you do for PD. Last fall I ask Jean on the BBS, but forgot to read, or just plain forgot the response. I should've known that you need SJ's approval. I failed my IQ, or Gaming Hobby Knowledge-2 roll on that one!
In the meantime I'll work on my games I'm planning on to run at the next con I'm attending.
Oh, yay my wedding too..

I just got a copy of PD20M Federation and I must say this book was worth the wait.
I'm getting so much good info and so many ideas reading it. In fact, I got a really kick-butt idea for my campaign from reading about the Old Kings mysteries.
It's going to be epic!
Please Captain,not in front of the Klingons.

Akemi walks up to you.
"What do you mean number seven?"
Her Number 6 shows on her leg as she walks over to you.
Nero: *looks up* if you were talking to me, i'm number 3 lifts up shirt revealing a 3 on his heart.
"Sorry I thought you were Kyro...I'm pretty sure you don't know me right?" she asks
Nero: *stands* i'm afraid I haven't had the pleasure of meeting you yet.
"I'm Number 6, Akemi." she answers.
*grabs hand and kisses it* i'm Nero, number 3
Akemi giggles as she blushes.
(hey what does look like i posted a pic of mine already. pretty please??? )

Nero: easy, I beat Nel and she got demoted to 7
"Who's number 0? Love to kill them." she laughs.

You may have heard by now, but just in case you haven't, we're having a little concert series on three separate Saturdays ths summer. Our concert on July 16 will feature Moby, July 21 Portugal. The Man, and August 4th, both Raphael Saadiq & Band of Skulls. In order to gain access to the show on those nights, concertgoers will be required to wear wristbands.
However, the general public will be able to visit the galleries of the Photography Space to take in Who Shot Rock & Roll without a wristband but only from 11am - 5pm on those Saturdays. After 5pm, the Space and its galleries will only be accessible to those visitors who are wearing a wristband as a concertgoer. As a bonus, those guests will be able to enjoy the exhibit through 11pm those nights.
So if you don't plan to watch the concert, come early! That way you'll avoid all of the crowds. See you at the Space!

"Who Shot Rock?" with Moby
Thanks for a great show -especially the acoustic set with Moby and those fantastic singers and cellist! This was a memorable night for me. I will NEVER forget the cover of "Whole Lot of Love" - almost as good as Janis Joplin LIVE - These women can SING!

US News Feature on Meghan McCain
Washington Whispers
Inspired by MTV News, Meghan McCain Launches Millennial-Friendly Show
By Nikki Schwab
September 10, 2013 RSS Feed Print
She's been on the campaign trail and done the cable news thing, so it's not surprising that Meghan McCain's new TV show "Raising McCain" would be a blend of the two.
"I felt like more interesting conversations were being held in the green room, or in the car on the way to the event, or in the hotel room afterward," McCain told Whispers. "I thought it would be a cool idea to do a talk show, but it would film kind of like a reality show or a documentary."
Thus "Raising McCain," which debuts Saturday at 10 p.m. on the new Pivot television network, blends both television styles. The star is McCain, a pundit, author and the daughter of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz. And in every episode, she and her team tackle a different topic – from modern feminism to millennial veterans.
"I just wanted to do something where I could wear the clothes that I wear everyday, I could do my hair however I wanted, hang out with my friends and come from a really non-judgmental place," McCain says.
Inspiration for the show came from 28-year-old McCain's love of MTV News growing up.
"Tabitha Soren and all the MTV VJs, they were the coolest people ever, I loved them," she says. Additionally, the way that MTV's "Catfish" is shot impressed her. "I like the way they film him in his hotel room and in the car, etc."
McCain conducts interviews using her own brand of straight talk, which includes a lot of swearing. "I swear like a trucker," McCain says, adding that, on the new network, her f-bombs most likely wouldn't be bleeped. "I think it's better in general, I think anything that's more authentic is better." And so far, her parents are on board. "They saw the first episode and they both really like it, thank God, I was really nervous about them."
McCain made her transition into the media after making a name for herself as the "McCain Blogette" on the campaign trail in 2008, during her father's White House bid. Since then, she's penned a column for the Daily Beast, written two books and been an MSNBC contributor.
Now she's hoping to jumpstart a new genre.
"I understand it's a new network, it's a new format, we're kind of asking a lot of people, to film not just in a scripted way," she said of the challenges she's encountered thus far. While she says she hasn't had trouble getting guests, it hasn't been a cakewalk either. "I mean, I really wanted to interview Hillary Clinton and her people said no, twice, which makes me so sad," McCain said. "I thought she'd at least do an interview or a phoner or something, but maybe I'm just overselling myself. I don't know."

Still pining for a 3D home theater? There are ways to add those effects into your home setup, all without having to upgrade your current equipment. We're seeing some 3D converter options pop up and out—literally. See, they can actually transform your good-old 2D content into something with in-your-face effects.
Like most other 3D equipment, however, converters aren't always an inexpensive option. At least they aren't on most other days. For today only, the website 1SaleADay is selling the 3D Video Wizard Converter for just $29.99. The package typically sells for $149.99, probably because it doesn't just include the converter console. It also comes with a remote, an HDMI cable and six pairs of 3D glasses.
Now, you should know that this device doesn't do active 3D, which has become the most popular format for today's 3D theaters. It doesn't convert the content to passive, either. Instead, it uses good, old anaglyphic 3D, which means all of the glasses have those goofy red/blue lenses. The package comes with six pairs of those; two for adults and four for the kiddies.
Still, it's a good cheapie option, if you want to add 3D to your gaming, sports, movies, or just to get a little depth on the evening news.
Just know that this deal does not include free shipping, so factor in another $4.99 to the sale price. However, you'd better start doing the math, because this deal is only good for today (Friday, November 9, 2012) or whenever the website runs out of stock.

Iconography: A story of a style
Iconic and daily moments blend together in bright surroundings that make up a summer day. Special occasions, captured by a gaze, an object or a fragrance that becomes a symbol of an unmistakable style of life, made of perfect details.
Rosemary green, blues that recall the sea and the sky and bougainvillea violet frame the DBag and the Gommino, defining the relaxing rhythms of a mother and daughter's vacation, while telling a story of spontaneous and impeccable elegance that is always fascinating and unique.
Quality moments accompanied by quality products: a bag or a pair of shoes are no longer individually iconic, but rather the lifestyle which envelopes them, telling their story.
