In reference to this, I have to say that just because it has been discussed elsewhere does not necessarily mean
post has been seen or read. I participate in in over 15 different phpbb bulletin boards that use these formats. One of the things that sometimes tends to get overlooked is one's tone in the communication. I bring this up because your tone in your post:
Bolo_MK_XL wrote:
A thought best kept to yourself Laughing --- SVC made his thoughts on the two boards/systems known --- more likely to lose the phpbb than discus---
even with the emoticon can be perceived as hostile. You might not have intended it to sound that way but that is how it can present itself.
Because I participate in so many other discussion boards on a wide variety of different topics ranging from Disc Jockeys to Emergency First Responders and working with kids I woud like to suggest that a previous post made by someone else, if it is being referenced be quoted and provided in the responses. The reason for that is that not everybody has read the other posts or even saw them. It's nearly impossible to be able to read all those other posts especially if a person wasn't privy to that particular conversation to begin with. This way the understanding would be better and any rulings or conversations made previously would be better understood by all.
SVC may have made his thoughts on it known on this but if a reference to that in a quote was made, a reader could go to it and see what exactly he said. Cole's thoughts on this are not standing out anywhere saying that this is the deal. I have not seen this as an announcement or a sticky and if this was said some time ago, the likelyhood of anybody going back to dig for it is close to nil.
I believe what you said and I'm not going to doubt it was said, it sounds like something he would do, but it could keep coming up again if it's not talked about and referenced. If it is a case closed, make it a sticky and post it for everybody to see, so it has some attention drawn to it and it would help keep it from coming up repeatedly. sometimes somethings need to be repeated to be refreshed and brought back up to speed.
I had been out of the game for over 8 years. A lot has come out, a lot has happened and there are going to be things I'm not privy to. My last edition of Captain's Log was # 17 , so anything discussed in later editions of it, I won't know anything about.
Please understand I am just trying to help.

Mike I think you got a little long winded with you reply to Bolo. That is part of the problem between reading Forums and talking to people. Tone of conversation is lost. Bolo was keeping it light as people who have read his post in the past would have pick up on. Fair enough you haven't been around long enough to have picked up on it. On this phpbb forum just the highlights for SVC dislikes of a non Discus based Forums are located here.
There is more about it over on the legacy boards if you really want to know let me know and I will peck around and see if I can find the thread covering the Discus Crisis.

I do apologize, I didn't mean to be long winded or to sound like I was being mean or anything because that was not my intent. I'm not anybody with an axe to grind. And I'm not trying to be a jerk or anything. Actually the whole thing comes down to this, and I've said this to many people worldwide. It's just a matter of preferences, not about who has the bigger Schwartz when using a bulletin board. Now in SFB, it's usually about who has the bigger ship or better ship but that's to be determined on the hex map. I've got a lot of catching up to do, if I missed something please help me get there.

Yes, theres a lot to keep up with, Discus Board is extensive --
Takes time to catch up on any new subject/endeavor when you first get interested, then theres a lot more than just the games represented on both boards --
Nothing wrong with just reading the portions that interest you --
On either board its a definite that someone will tell you when your mistaken, answer any question you have, pass on any advice they think you need
Welcome aboard

Some people like PHP, and some like Discus (I for one) and we plan to continue supporting BOTH because some like each one.
PHP is the most common BBS around. Hosting companies love it because it has low processing load. Discus is vastly superior in some features (including the two or three most critical ones which PHP simply cannot do it at all). From the point of view of somebody RUNNING a BBS, Discus requires about 1/10th of the work for me to handle the same number of messages. The Discus BBS has ten or twenty times the messages and if PHP had that many it would be all but unworkable.

Fashionable Halloween Costume Ideas! Kim Kardshian's Tiger Costume And Alexa Chung's Bat Jumper
GALLERY>> Halloween Costume Ideas
Kim Kardashian tweeted a picture of herself over the weekend Halloween shopping in a skimpy leopard outfit and it got us thinking about our own fancy dress ideas.
If you want to look fashionable this year go for simple and stylish costumes like Alexa Chung's J W Anderson bat jumper, Katy Perry's purple locks or Poppy Delevingne's cat ears. OR if you fancy going all out why not dress up as Karl Lagerfeld like Rylan Clarke's back up dancers on this week's X Factor, Psy of Gangnam Style fame, Anna Dello Russo or the most fashionable kid around - Suri Cruise.
One of the best outfits we have found when looking for some Hallow'spiration is [a href="http://www.craftandcouture.com/2010/11/natalies-custom-chanel-costume.html" target="_blank">this custom Chanel handbag outfi[/a]t - we wish we were crafty enough to turn ourselves into a Chanel 2.5.
Take a look through our gallery of Halloween Costume Ideas and let us know what you're going to dress up as this year...
- Emma Spedding
Katy Perry
For her birthday bash Katy Perry dressed up as a vampire, with a big red cloak, blood red contact lenses and agold cross round her neck. John Mayer went as a zombie hunter with a bullet vest and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. This image and more of the scary partayyy are on [a href="http://thecobrasnake.com/partyphotos.html" target="_blank">Mark Hunter/The Cobra Snake[/a].
Kim Kardashian: Catsuit
This weekend Kim Kardashian posted this twitpic with the caption: "Rawwwr!!! Halloween Costume shopping." That's a lotta mesh Kim.
Alexa Chung's bat jumper
We love festive knitwear and Alexa's J W Anderson bat jumper is perfect for pumpkin shopping or a scary film marathon.
Princess Suri
If you want to look fashionable this Halloween we recommend dressing up as Suri - wear a pretty dress and ballet flats with a cuddly toy in hand. Extra points if you manage to find a Katie Holmes look-a-like to give you a piggy back all night.
Rihanna head to toe orange
If you don't want to dress up as an actual pumpkin but want to look festive wear head to toe orange like RiRi.
Poppy Delevingne cat ears
Poppy Delevingne wore cat ears to the Chanel Little Black Jacket exhibition party last week and we LOVE it. You can quickly transform a stylish LBD into a cat costume in seconds.
Katy Perry: Purple hair and dark lips
Katy Perry's purple locks and dark red lips paired with black mesh is a haunting but stylish look for trick or treating.
Gangnam Style
Dress like K-Pop King Psy in a bow tie, bright blazer, white shirt, black trousers and a pair of sunglasses.
Anna Dello Russo
If you want to look like a fashionista in a crowd of witches and Brides of Frankensteins who better to copy than the ultimate LOUD dresser Anna Dello Russo?
Lady Gaga: On-trend witch
Lady Gaga is an on-trend witch in this all black outfit from the [a href="/fashion/archive/2012/10/10/gaga-is-first-to-wear-ss-13-hedi-slimanes-saint-laurent-collection.htm" target="_blank">Hedi Slimane's Saint Laurent collection[/a] with a big pointy black hat. Looking for a couples outfit? Grab a white t-shirt and blonde wig and you can be this year's most unlikely friends - Lady Gaga and Julian Assange.
Mary Kate Olsen: Gothic goddess
Mary Kate Olsen nails the black witch gothic look all year round. If you want to look chic as you carve your pumpkin wear black lace and imitate MK's beach waves and black lipstick.
X Factor's Karl Lagerfelds and fashion pandas
Rylan Clarke's X Factor performance gave us plenty of fashion Halloween costume ideas - either put on a white wig, suit and sunnies and transform into Karl Lagerfeld or be one of Rylan's fashion pandas. Bizarre but kind of fabulous.
Heidi Klum: An apple and Hindu goddess Kali
If you like face paint and turning yourself blue, supermodel Heidi Klum is your Hallow'spiration. Warning if you want to be an apple, your neck will look green for weeks.
Blogger Chanel bag
This [a href="http://www.craftandcouture.com/2010/11/natalies-custom-chanel-costume.html" target="_blank">custom Chanel costume[/a] by the Craft & Couture has been blowing up on the blogosphere. Who doesn't want to dress like a Chanel 2.5 bag? The only problem is who can... this costume is for the super crafty.

The topography of a hilly commute
December 7, 2011 at 9:06 am 4 comments
If you have ever wondered what it is like to ride on one of my commutes through Birmingham, I've included a map and video from my commute yesterday. I discovered that Google Earth Pro (the trial version) lets you record a 3D flyover movie of an imported GPS route. Enjoy my 1 hour 45 minute commute home condensed into a 17 minute video. Or check out the 3D annotated topocreator map below the video. You really get a sense of all the rolling hills in Mountain Brook from minute 5 until minute 12 in the video. The only Cat 3 climb on the route is at the beginning climbing Old Hwy 31 to Hwy 31 to Vestavia Dr. When the arrow is moving fast, that means I was going downhill fast. When the arrow is moving slow, that means I was climbing slowly.
3D annotated commute route home from work. This view is looking southwest.

I recently found your blog and love all the content. Climbing is my favorite thing , 6Gap is my main event every year, and your posts are inspiring. Please keep posting !
You can create flyovers with normal Google Earth (v5.2 or higher anyway). If you export your ride to KML in GoldenCheetah you can view that in GE and flyover .. you can also show a graph at the bottom of the screen that has power, speed etc.
I posted a screenie on my blog last year about that: http://markliversedge.blogspot.com/2010/06/neo-geo.html

In addition to Saleh, attended as guest speaker DAMRI Agus Suherman Housing CEO Subrata, Director of PT Darma Main Ocean Bambang Harjo.
The government, he added, is considered too hasty."He said this to reduce the frequency of Cengkareng, whereas Halim could only accommodate 5 percent of capacity in Cengkareng around 7,300 ( air traffic ), it will not be any impact,"he stated.
Ministry of Transportation, he said, had proposed the construction of a new airport in Karawang. Construction of a new airport in Karawang it could be a solution. Another solution, is to add a runway at Soekarno – Hatta Airport.
"Currently existing solutions ( moving loads to Halim Perdanakusumah Airport ) is only short term,"said a politician from the Hanura.

XO Cognacs - Napoléon
A Napoleon, or X.O (for Extra Old ), also called Hors d'âge, is a cognac which youngest eau-de-vie is at least six and a half years old.
A Cognac may be sold only when its youngest eau-de-vie reaches a minimum of two and a half years old, as of the first day of October following the harvest of the grapes.
Only the years of storage in oak barrels count to determine its age. Once transferred into glass, Cognac stops maturing. It stands still.
However, most Cognac houses will use Cognacs much older than those required by law, allowing X.Os to reach a minimum of twenty years old, in order to reveal their very best.
XO is perhaps one of the vaguest classifications regarding quality, and should't be taken at face value without further search. Some of the XOs you can find in our site are certainly under-priced, while some others, which, of course, you will NOT find here at Le Cognac, may be quite mediocre . In fact, selecting Cognacs with a reasonably quality/price ratios is one of our raisons d'être.
On the other hand, regarding Cognac, beyond a certain level of quality one enters into the realm of subjectivity. And then, of course, there is always a premium in rarity. When a product is scarce, if demand remains strong, it is only natural that prices go up. This is exactly what we have been seeing with high-end Cognac prices in the last few years because of the huge Chinese demand.
As a rule, we would say that the XOs present at Le Cognac are all good value in general market terms. Some of them are indeed very good value.

The Talking Heads
Talking Heads have been sidestepping trends to make their own since their 1977 debut album, which bypassed punk's anger and noise with wide-eyed lyrics and echoes of bubblegum pop and funk. Year by year, the funk grew deeper and stranger, on albums that were unapologetically arty but danceable; nine out of 10 would-be intellectuals played Heads albums at parties. Mr. Byrne's lyrics treated the modern world as both home and alien territory, letting listeners gauge any irony. — Jon Pareles
Highlights from the Archives
Same as He Ever Was, but More Appreciated
When David Byrne became famous in the late 1970's, he played weird; the first hit by his band, Talking Heads, was called ''Psycho Killer.'' Then as Mr. Byrne's perspective grew he realized that one man's weirdness is another man's magic, and he used that observation to domesticate what others thought exotic, especially his passion: the music and rituals of the African diaspora.May 15, 2001 artsReview
Talking Heads Album Stirs Feet, Not Brain
Dance parties have already discovered ''True Stories'' by the Talking Heads, an album that couldn't be more crisp or playful or benevolent. Opening with a laugh from David Byrne, the band's singer and songwriter, the album kicks and chugs through nine songs; half a dozen of them are danceable, just the thing to put the Talking Heads back on Top 40 playlists.September 28, 1986 artsNews
The Talking Heads Produce an Unabashed Pop Album
The new Talking Heads album, ''Little Creatures'' ends with an a-cappella choral refrain on the words, ''We're on a road to nowhere.'' It might sound like typical Talking Heads fare: musically experimental, minimally pessimistic, poetically artsy. Surprise: this is the simplest, happiest, most tuneful - and most potentially commercial - album this archetypal New York art-rock band has made yet.July 14, 1985 artsReview
Talking Heads in Forest Hills
The audience walking toward the Forest Hills Tennis Stadium Friday night for the first of Talking Heads's two shows there was predominantly white and almost demonstrably affluent. The band itself, or at least its four core members, boasts similar attributes, and almost makes a signature of its uptightness. And yet by the end of the show, the entire sold-out stadium seemed to be a mass of rock-and-roll celebrants, dancing on their seats and in the aisles. Preppy funk triumphant, you might say.August 21, 1983 artsReview

Christopher Dawson
Yes, war's won
No, heating up
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols
Best Argument: No, heating up
Audience Favored: No, heating up (63%)
The moderator has delivered a final verdict.
Opening Statements
Video wars...who cares?Chris Dawson: Web video wars? Does anyone besides the web video teams at Google, Apple, and Microsoft actually care? HTML5 already supports the majority of competing codecs across most browsers. Sure, Google continues to posture with WebM, Apple is the poster child for vendor lock-in, and Microsoft continues to struggle for relevance on the Web; Mozilla is just trying to figure out who to follow.
I don't lay awake at night wondering which standard I should use to encode the videos I produce (and I produce a lot of them). The HTML5 tag solves a whole lot of problems by letting web browsers display whatever they support. 8-core processors solve even more by making multiple renderings of web videos in different formats trivial.
In the end, multiple codecs will grumpily coexist, made largely into religious issues for developers by HTML5, and, as long as they can watch YouTube and Netflix, ignored by users.
Flash, as alive as everSteven J. Vaughan-Nichols: Yes, we all hate Flash. Even Adobe's not that crazy about it anymore. Too bad. There's still no replacement for it.
HTML5 video you say? What about it?
HTML5's video tag doesn't define which file format, such as MPEG4 or WebM, or video or audio codec, such as H.264 or VP8, are permitted. All HTML5 does is let Web developers set up case statements so that they can supply a choice of various combinations of containers and codecs in the hope that your device can support one of them.
In other words, HTML5 video is just a rug that covers the dirt of multiple video formats. It doesn't replace Flash at all. In fact, you can still use Flash within it. We're a long way from being Flash free.

J. Bryan Burton, Chair
Even before I joined the faculty at West Chester University nearly twenty years ago, I was aware of its reputation for excellence in music teacher education. At regional music education conferences, I encountered members of the WCU music education faculty, working with several on various committees for these organizations, and learning from them about programs, concerts, and activities on the campus. As I visited schools in the mid-Atlantic region as part of my duties at another university, I met many outstanding, dedicated music educators serving with distinction in all facets and all levels of the music curriculum From school administrators, I learned that WCU graduates were held in high regard because of the thorough musical and educational training they received and that these students were almost always at the top of any applicant list. So, when the opportunity came to become a part of the West Chester University music education faculty, there was no hesitation. I was honored to join a distinguished faculty offering excellence in music performance, music theory, music history, and, of course, music education.
As a student at West Chester University, you will master performance skills, not only on your major performance medium, but on secondary instruments, voice, and keyboard., You will explore the structure of music through courses in music theory and trace the development of music from its earliest beginnings to the music of today through the study of music history and literature. . As you progress in your program as a Music Education major you will participate in a variety of performance ensembles performing in world-class venues such as the Kimmel Center (home of the Philadelphia Orchestra) and our own Performing Arts Center, Asplundh Theater, and Gates Recital Hall. You will gain both the knowledge and skills to become a highly skilled musician, the foundation of your music teacher education. WCU has a great reputation for professional faculty each of whom allow students to learn much through personal motivation and exploration.
Your training as a professional music educator begins with an introductory seminar exploring the history and structure of music education and opportunities to observe master teachers in area schools and gain valuable hands-on experience working with children during ongoing field experiences at all levels of music instruction. You will be trained through a variety of innovative and specialized teaching methods by professors who are trained and certified specialists, including Orff-Schulwerk, Kodaly Methodology, Dalcroze Eurhythmics, World Music, Music Technology, and other leading methodologies and pedagogical techniques.. Through immersion in these experiences, you will not only master each of these fields, but will be able to integrate them into the music curriculum and enhance music instruction in your classrooms. Further training in inclusive education, early childhood music, and integrated arts round out your preparation for a lifelong career in music education. Through these innovative practices and specialized training you will become certified to teach at all levels of classroom, vocal, and instrumental music, from kindergarten through high school.

Phew! We've just come back from spending the morning with the one and only Lily Allen as she shot the campaign for her new jewellery line, and we are mightily impressed. Not only is she super-smiley and styling herself for the shoot in Kate Moss for Topshop, YSL and vintage Chanel, but the collection's pretty hot too. There are huge green pear pendants, mini cherry rings, fish on chains, smiley Have A Nice Day-esque faces galore, and a few pandas and flamingos thrown in for good measure. So where did the inspiration come from? 'Well, I have a tattoo of a smiley face on my wrist, which kind of comes from my love of acid trance music,' she told us, 'and I did a photo-shoot with iD magazine where I dressed up as a panda, so that's where that came from.'
The collection is awash with enamel brights and glittering diamanté embellished animals, but there's something for everyone, with chic gold coins sitting alongside a necklace with Lily's own name hanging at the end of a sterling silver chain. Oh, and we got a top tip on new BFF Karl Lagerfeld's latest Chanel accessories too: 'Those quilted duffel bags might look massive, but they're the comfiest bags in the world to carry because of the material. They're amazing.' Hmm, wonder if we spy a future collaboration in the works... Check out some of the behind-the-scenes videos right here, and visit our Facebook group for more footage of Lily at the shoot.

Even though a bit pricey compared with other Chlorella products, this is an excellent product. This is one nutrient my husband doesn't hesitate in taking and I know I can trust that it's coming from a clean source.

I am an avid New Chapter user. This is one of my must-have supplements. It is great for detoxing and keeping the body alkaline. I have noticed a huge difference since taking this. I feel great and I feel safe taking a product that is high quality and natural. Thanks iHerb for great prices and service!
Feels good! My preferred chlorella!

I have used different chlorellas in tablet form (Pure planet, Sun chlorella, best effect aso.), but this one is the one I'm coming back for. Maybe it's just me, but I think the capsule form makes it easier for my body to use the nutritionals, rather than in tablet form (haven't used chorella i powder yet - just spirulina). New Chapter is also a brand that I trust among Pure Planet, Madre Labs, Solaray (and some more). :)I have lost some weight, feel more energized (despite cronic fatigue), and it just feels good to take chlorella.
Excellent quality Chlorella!

Since I have lots of mercury fillings in my teeth from early childhood I take chlorella to help clear out mercury from my system. It is an algae that is a complete food and is loaded with chlorophyll, protein, B, C, and E vitamins,and more B12 than liver! A must for vegetarians!

Have you ever heard of the phrase, two for the price of one? Well here at Hegre-Art.com we've got four for the price of one!
It never fails; get a bunch of girls in the studio and one of them will suggest doing a session all together with boisterous giggle and a large wicked smile. Girls after all, will be girls.
In this particular case that voice was Alya, who convinced her fellow models to skip around the studio in the buff, swing dance, and cuddle skin-to-skin, all while the camera was dutifully rolling.
Photo shoots may be a lot of hard work, but someone has got to do it!

text: Those are not my first pair of this kind of shoes. I like the feeling of barefoot walking but also knowing my feet are protected from the environment. Those shoes are very comfortable, flexible in use for all kinds of sports as well as I like to wear them just for the good looks. I can recommend those shoes for everybody who likes to be closer to the natural walk. One of the best products I ever bought. I still have my first pair and use them daily.

Andrew Mollenbeck,
WASHINGTON - Hitting Sweet 16 includes all sorts of coming-of-age perks and responsibilities. Voting could become a new one.
A plan to lower the voting age in the City of Takoma Park, Md., would create the youngest voters in the nation.
In 1971, the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18.
The measure in Takoma Park would only apply to local elections for mayor and the city council, and its objective, in part, is to make the election process more representative and diverse.
Particularly, supporters say 18-year-olds juggle a variety of changes that make voting a difficult habit to form.
"Eighteen is the point in your life when you're just about to go through a whole bunch of transitions," says Tim Male, one of the councilmembers behind the measure.
"You're off to college, you're moving out of home and your life is awhirl with change," he says.
A public hearing on the measure is set for April 8.
Male doesn't believe the effort is any kind of national revolution. He does, however, consider the local level the ideal place to try out the idea of voting at age 16.
"If people are still at home, there's a bunch of evidence that suggests learning to vote, experiencing voting with your family, experiencing voting with a set of stable peers creates a habit of voting throughout life," he says.

Powerful, innovative and versatile for stage and studio alike, the Bassman 100T is a professional-level 100-watt tube head with enormous Fender bass sound and sparkling vintage Fender looks. Its dual-channel design uses modern technology to maximize classic technology, with classic Fender '60s "blackface" styling and a wealth of innovative features on the front and rear panels.
Features include a tube preamp (two 12AX7s) and power amp (one 12AT7 and four 6L6s); Vintage channel that delivers the full, warm sound of a classic Fender passive tone stack; Overdrive channel that delivers the aggressive and responsive sound of a modern active tone stack (choose between channels with included footswitch); rear-panel Fender Automatic Bias system that constantly monitors and re-biases tubes for perfect performance and alerts you when service is required; XLR output that delivers overdriven power amp tone (great for recording); rear-panel Output Power switch that lets you play or record at full 100-watt power, quieter 25-watt power, or silently via internal power soak (which captures the signal post-power amp); impedance switch (8, 4 or 2 ohms) and master volume with push/pull mute.

Sheer lace perfection
NOV 21 Bobby Jindal is headed to Iowa again, the Des Moines Register reports here. The paper outlines what's going on with Bobby's non-campaign for president, and there's a lot of stuff here -- too bad none of it sounds like somebody running Louisiana. Hey, wasn't that the job he wanted?
NOV 21 The end of the term has come for the grand jury investigating a lucrative Medicaid contract and a former state health official's ties to the company that won it, the Advocate reports here, but that doesn't mean the investigation into this stinkiness is over. There are still some things to look into, the lead prosecutor says.
NOV 21 With the passage of two amendments to Louisiana's much-amended constitution (it has been amended almost 200 times now) higher education has an even bigger target on its collective back, columnist Jim Beam opines in this post. Higher ed used to share the spotlight with health care, but that has changed, he says.
NOV 21 Here's a weird one: The Louisiana Cannabis Industry Association has endorsed Bill Cassidy for the U.S. Senate. Apparently, Mary Landrieu said she wouldn't consider support of medical marijuana but Cassidy said he would, WWL reports here.
NOV 21 Solange Knowles, possibly best-known for assaulting her brother-in-law in an elevator while wearing an ugly dress after the Met Ball, got married in the Marigny Opera House this past weekend, the New York Times reports here. Knowles, who has a house in the Faubourg Marigny district and owns a boutique in the Quarter, married Alan Ferguson.
NOV 21 This post on the Fuel Fix blog outlines a $1.4 billion move announced this week by the Apache Corp. that includes the sale of assets in south Louisiana. The company's interests in more than 90,000 acres in south Louisiana are some of the assets being sold, the post reports.
NOV 21 One (possible) positive from Hurricane Katrina is a comprehensive zoning ordinance for New Orleans. Nine years later, we're getting closer to that being finalized, but the current version has some problems. Here's the latest in a series of posts on The Lens in which residents give their views of the draft; this one is more amusing than most.
NOV 21 The new NOLA smoking ordinance is going to harsh your (nicotine) buzz, man. This post on Gambit outlines the high (or low, as the case may be) points: it includes electronic cigarettes and hookahs in its bans; eliminates smoking within 25 feet of any building's public entrance and in any public space - or near any public space - operated by the city.
NOV 20 Here's an interesting article in the New York Times. The authors have picked one dish to represent each state in a Thanksgiving meal. Louisiana's dish? Shrimp stuffed mirlitons.
NOV 20 Politico reports here that Bobby Jindal won't be kept out of the presidential race by anyone else's candidacy. (If he's running, which he's not, 'cause he's not done prayin' on it) So he's not interested in who is running, or what the polls say, or how much money he's got? K.
NOV 20 NOLA Defender's Tiny Daiquiri has a little fun with Bobby Jindal's Meet the Press appearance in this post. Bobby is still prayin' on whether or not he'll run for the job he's been running for over the past three years, Tiny says.

This distressing footage from July 2011 shows the agonising death of an endangered Sumatran tiger in an APP concession in Sumatra, Indonesia. There are less than 400 remaining Sumatran tigers in the wild and that number is rapidly declining as their habitat continues to be destroyed to make cheap pulp and paper products.

Post subject: Help with tholians
I'm just curious how people play them. They seem to have the manuverabilty to play a very aggresive game and yet at the same time possess possibly the single best defensive system ever (web obviously).
I'd just really appreciate some pointers as I'm struggling to pull out wins. I've gotten plenty of near misses and draws, but can't seem to seal that win.

One problem with Tholians is they have no strong seeking weapons. They have very good phasers, heavy weapons (disruptors or photons), and of course, the web. Web generators are harder to use than Web Casters, and really only work when you can get multiple ships (3+) into a fight.
The ships really play on the web. Use a web caster to force your enemy where you want him. With a web caster, its easy to play the sniping game (you have lots of Ph-1 that can fire through web hexes) while keeping your opponent out of overload range. You ships are maneuverable and can dance in and out of web hexes, which your opponent has to avoid.

Web Doubling
Cast webs last for 8 impulses from the time they solidify. If you can fire WCs on Impulse 8, then they will be around for the entire next turn. This effectively doubles your WC capability for the next turn. Thus a force with 3 Web Casters can effectively have 6 for some portion of the following turn. Always fire off any unfired WCs on impulse 8. If nothing else it creates obstables for the enemy, cover and options for you.
Firing webs on impulse 8 lets you use power from turn 1, to place webs that get used on turn 2. Then, during turn 2, you can save webs for emergencies, or Impulse 8 of turn 2.
General Advice
If the enemy decides to stay away from your webs, throw a web in front of him and cut off his escape route. If the enemy splits his forces to go after you, make sure his forces never link up again by placing a web between them, and killing his forces piecemeal. Your primary weapons are phasers fired through webs. Target engines every time you fire phasers unless the target is already badly damaged. If you are a Tholian and you engage in a fair fight, your tactics stink. Lastly, save enough power to perform a High Energy Turn as a last ditch way to escape an aggressive enemy.
Unless you are delivering the Killing blow to the enemy (or there is some other VERY compelling reason do do so) don't use your WCs as web fists. In all of my examples of the successful employment of WCs, web fists were not used.
Don't use Web casters with the expectation that you will trap and enemy with it, though you should look for opportunities. Fast and unmaneuverable ships that make a turn on SUB-pulse 4 might be good candidates. Ultimately, the ability to cancel movement points will make it difficult to trap an enemy, though it may cost him some power.
Use the web to influence his maneuvering, and prevent damage to your ships.
Web Placement
And finally, how do you place the web? First get out a mapboard from the boxed set. Turn it to the side with the small hexes. (I did not invent this tactic, it was taught to me by Paul Scott, so credit goes to him.)
Assuming a head on approach, when you are 15-20 hexes away from the enemy, place a 5 hex web directly in front of you opponent. Place it far enough ahead of the enemy that he will get stuck if he accelerates and moves straight (ie if his base speed is 24, place it 5 hexes in front of him.) The web should be placed in the shape of a "W" (see the example in the rules). Generally, always place web in the "W" shape. It creates more cover options.
So, its the direct fire phase. The enemy is in hex 0701. Place the web in the following hexes: 0506,0605,0706,0805,0906. This placement forces him to commit to going left or right around the web if he accelerates.
If the enemy turns right to go around the web, fire another web in the following hexes: 0508, 0509, 0409,0410, 0311. You can vary this placement slightly as necessary based on the situation. Whichever way the enemy decides to go around the web, you should move to the other side. If he dives into a "W" shaped web, he will have blind spots where his weapons won't be able to fire at you. (Place a ship counter in a "W" shaped web and notice where its weapons are blocked by the surrounding web.)
Make variations to this tactic and placement as necessary for your situation. To learn how to use the web will require you to get out a map and some counters to test out different situations.
Webs create obstacles for your enemy and cover for yourself. Because webs last 8 impulses, you can effectively have double the number of webs on the board. Effective placement will come with practice, but the suggestions in this article are a good starting point.
Once again I have proven that even in the future, your photon torpedoes are built by the lowest bidder.

My side used this trick last week in a multi-ship engagement. The Neo-Tholian put two cast webs (one on Impulse 8, and the other on Impulse 1) in a 'V' shape around the other side's ships, and then the Gorn launched plasma torpedoes at one of the stuck inside.

Proper preparation for a test or procedure reduces your child's anxiety about the situation, encourages cooperation, and helps the child develop coping skills.
Preparing preschoolers for test/procedure; Test/procedure preparation - preschooler
Preparation can reduce distress in children who are undergoing medical tests, minimizing crying and resistance to the procedure. Research finds that lowering anxiety can actually decrease the sensation of pain felt by people during uncomfortable procedures.
Before the test, understand that your child probably will cry. Preparation may not change the fact that your child will feel some discomfort or pain. You can try demonstrating what will happen during the test in advance to learn about your child's particular fears and concerns. Using a doll or other object to act out the test may help reveal worries that the child may not be able to talk about. This may help reduce your child's anxiety.
Most people are more frightened of the unknown. It helps if the child knows what to expect. If a child's fears are unrealistic, you may want to explain what will actually happen. If the child is worried about an unavoidable part of the test, do not minimize this concern. Reassure the child that you will be there to help as much as you can.
Make sure your child understands that the procedure is not a punishment. Children at this age may believe that the pain they feel is a punishment for something they did.
The most important way you can help your child is with proper preparation, and with your support and comfort around the time of the procedure. Ask if the hospital has a child life specialist who can help you before and after the procedure.
Keep your explanations about the procedure to 10 or 15 minutes, because preschoolers have a limited attention span. Preparation should take place directly before the test or procedure so that the child doesn't worry about it for days or weeks in advance.
Here are some general guidelines for preparing your child for a test or procedure:
Play can be a wonderful way of demonstrating the procedure for your child and identifying any anxiety. Tailor this technique to your child. Most health care facilities for children use similar techniques to prepare children for procedures.
Many young children have a favorite toy or other important object that can be a tool for a process called third-party communication. It may be less threatening for your child to express concerns through the toy or object instead of directly. For example, a child who is about to have blood drawn may be better able to understand if you discuss how her doll might "feel" during the test.
Toys or dolls can help you explain the procedure to your preschooler. Once you are familiar with the procedure, briefly demonstrate on the toy what your child will experience. Using the toy, show your child:
After your demonstration, allow your child to play with some of the items (except for needles and other sharp items). Watch your child for clues about concerns or fears.
No matter what test is performed, your child will probably cry. This is a normal response to a strange environment, unfamiliar people, and separation from you. Knowing this from the beginning may help relieve some of your anxiety about what to expect.
Your child may be restrained by hand or with physical devices. Young children lack the physical control, coordination, and ability to follow commands that older children and adults usually have. Most tests and procedures require limited or no movement to ensure accuracy.
Restraints may be used during a procedure or other situation to ensure your child's safety. For example, to get clear results with x-rays there must not be any movement. Radiological and nuclear studies require that all staff temporarily leave the room. In these situations, restraints may be used for your child's safety.
If a puncture is done to get a blood sample or start an IV, restraints may be used to protect your child. If the child moves, the needle could cause an injury.
Your health care provider will use every method to ensure your child's safety and comfort. Besides restraints, other measures include medications, monitors, and observation.
Your job as a parent is to comfort your child.
Your presence may help your child during the procedure, especially if the procedure allows you to maintain physical contact. If the procedure is performed at the hospital or your health care provider's office, you may be given the opportunity to be present. If you are not sure whether you are allowed to be present, ask.
If you think you may become ill or anxious, consider keeping your distance but remaining in your child's line of vision. If you are not able to be present, leaving a familiar object with your child may be comforting.
Avoid showing your anxiety. This will only make your child feel more upset. Research has suggested that children are more cooperative if their parents have taken measures (such as anxiety reducing acupuncture) to reduce their own anxiety.

Knowledge workers are guided through the process and have the ability to influence and change the process as per their judgment while keeping full transparency at the same time.
- Master Data Management (MDM) - manage your critical business data within a uniform, single source platform.
- Business Rules Management - seamlessly integrates rules within business processes and business objects during modeling and design time.
- OpenText Process Component Library – this set of prebuilt service delivery components and reports enables organizations to "assemble" rather than code applications and deploy them much faster than traditional tools.
- Process Experience – to support a single and intuitive work experience for users, no matter which process engine may be driving a process on the back end.
- BPM Everywhere – this is a social platform to allow users to participate in processes with a very simple and intuitive user interface. It also supports tablet and other mobile platforms.
- OpenText AppWorks Gateway – this is a set of RESTful APIs and developer resources across the broader EIM stack to allow developers to easily create solutions that span the breadth of the OpenText EIM portfolio.
Process Suite Add-On Products
We provide a number of add-ons that extend the technical functionality of the Process Suite. These add-ons are separate products and may be purchased separately; they provide features such as extended reporting and analytics, enterprise and business architecture design, and document and image capturing. More detail on the add-ons is available via the Products tab above.
OpenText Process Suite Applications
Developed using the Process Suite platform, these applications serve to package a rich set of functionality aimed at addressing specific business problems. Applications ensure the fastest possible route to addressing business issues, and providing your business with that out of the box experience.As with other Process Suite solutions, applications are highly configurable to ensure you can provide the agility your business requires as needs change.
An example of a Process Suite Application is:
- OpenText Cloud Provisioning - allows organizations to create, automatically provision, and orchestrate on-premises and cloud-based services that make up a new product, value added service or application.
From credit unions, mortgage lenders, to media companies and the Department of Homeland Security, OpenText has helped customers achieve a variety of critical results including reducing time to value by 75 percent, and doubling customer service requests processed with no additional headcount. We are proud of the respect that OpenText Process Suite has earned from both customers and analysts.
Business Needs
Business Needs
Process Suite
To date, most BPM deployments have been sold as point solutions. Workflow, BPM and Case Management systems were all implemented to solve particular pain points. While this has been successful, and indeed OpenText has hundreds of customers who have solved major business issues as a result of such implementations, it also has its limitations. The reality is that organizations have purchased, developed with, and are maintaining multiple process automation capabilities to solve those pain point problems.
As organizations seek to increase agility, and respond to changing market demands, they require systems that change quickly too. The typical cycle for change in business operations is 3-6 months, whereas business strategy only changes 1-2 years, so changes in LOB course corrections are not readily reflected in strategy.Combine this with the average change cycle for core software solutions and IT infrastructure at 6-10 years, and you start to see the problem. By the time a process automation solution is rolled out to the business group, the needs have often changed and the system is not considered effective or successful. In order to respond more effectively, IT teams need tooling that allows them to move from crafting to configuring (and re-configuring) solutions.
The tooling also needs to support all the different types of process scenarios, from simple workflow, through document flow, system-to-system automation, on to full-blown BPM and Case Management scenarios. This reduces development overhead, as well as support and training costs.
The 21st century has already seen more disruption in how people work than arguably the past 50 years, and we appear set to take a quantum leap in managing the way our staff and customers expect to interact with us. In the era of the "millennial worker" and bring-your-own-device (BYOD) workplaces, we have workers that actually want to mingle their work lives and personal lives online.Managers must provide systems that work the way they work, meaning integrating social and mobile interfaces and collaboration capabilities inherent in the systems they use.
With comprehensive support for all different process styles, a library of pre-built components, and optional technical add-ons, the OpenText Process Suite provides all that you need in a single platform. The result is operational agility and speed that helps organizations compete more effectively, and the mobile and social capability that ensures your systems can respond to the business needs of the next decade.

Latest update : 2012-05-30
Leaks reveal 'corruption and power struggles' inside the Vatican
It's been called the "Vatileaks" affair. Leaked documents, stolen straight from the top of the Vatican hierarchy and given to the media, have exposed alleged corruption, power struggles and nepotism at the heart of the Roman Catholic Church. The Pope's own butler, Paolo Gabriele, was arrested in connection with the scandal last week. But the Italian press is far from convinced that he's the only man involved.
