Our Projects
The Bertelsmann Stiftung is currently engaged in more than 60 projects. It projects have a limited time frame, depending on subject area, which cyclically frees up resources for new endeavors. If a pilot project proves successful, i.e. if a solution or approach has been successfully developed, the foundation devotes resources to seeing that it reaches a wider audience.
This can happen in a number of ways. The project's solutions may gain acceptance and become established practice in the field, be modified by project partners or continue within other collaborative ventures.
More information about contacts as well as current and past projects can be accessed via the search function.
An overview all completed projects is also available via the search function.

The new XT660 comes in two guises – the Yamaha XT660X (supermoto-style with 17-inch rims) and the Yamaha XT660R (taller, with an off-road friendly 21-inch front hoop). Both motorcycles are neatly styled, but sadly they're compromised by a snatchy fuel-injection that blights their low-speed performance and a dry weight that borders on the morbidly obese.

Distrowatch: Featured distribution of the week: BLAG Linux

Post subject: Distrowatch: Featured distribution of the week: BLAG Linux
BLAG Linux And GNU
If you like the Fedora project, but are put off by its bloat and lack of multimedia capabilities in Fedora Core, then BLAG Linux And GNU might just be the right distribution for you. Developed by Jeff Moe of the Brixton Linux Action Group (BLAG) in London, United Kingdom, this project has been around for nearly two years. BLAG's main goal is to remaster Fedora into a single-CD distribution with many of the conveniences that most desktop users would expect from an operating system, but which are missing from Fedora proper.
We have installed the latest release of BLAG, version 30001, over the weekend. Although it is based on an earlier Fedora Core 3, BLAG 30001 does come with a large number of upgraded packages, including the kernel 2.6.12, the latest version of Firefox, Thunderbird, GIMP and MPlayer, just to name a few of the included applications. The default desktop is GNOME (Blackbox and XFce are also available), but disappointingly, it is an older version - 2.8.1. Despite that, the distribution includes a good selection of software for graphics (GIMP, Inkscape), Internet (Firefox, Thunderbird), multimedia (Audacity, MPlayer), office (AbiWord, Gnumeric), and peer-to-peer file sharing software (aMule, BitTorrent, Gnutella). Additional applications can be installed with apt-get or Synaptic.
After playing around with BLAG for a while, we felt a strong resemblance of the project's goals with those of the now defunct JAMD Linux. BLAG is a well-designed distribution, perhaps slightly more "geeky" than JAMD, but with the right idea to bring desktop users what many of them enjoy - trouble-free multimedia experience, a range of file sharing tools, and a good selection of graphics applications. This distribution is obviously geared towards home entertainment. Compared to other beginner-friendly projects, such as PCLinuxOS or MEPIS, it is missing a few ingredients, e.g Flash, Java and proprietary graphics drivers, but overall, the developers have made a solid effort to build a nice distribution without including non-free software and without sacrificing compatibility with Fedora Core.
To find out more about BLAG Linux And GNU, please visit the project's web site at blagblagblag.org.

It is hard. And, it is imoral, too: "Flash and Java are not Free Software, so we won't redistribute them." If you won't, how can I do that without sense of guilt? And if I want to see some site, I must have this things. This is "circulus viciosus" for me!
Is something is free for download, I think is free for use too, I cna't understand that diferently. Many people are not interested in this discussions, thay want OS to work, that's all.
I use Mepis for some time, and I ask myself how can it uses all this stuff, for free? I am confused, must admit that...

Sadly you are mistaken. By freedom we don't mean in the monetary sense.
I understand where you are coming from but with your attitude Linux would never have existed in the first place.

OK, but who paid for Jafa I use in, say, Mepis? How can I pay for something if nobody ask me to pay? I go to Jafa site, download it and everything is OK. Sorry, I realy don't understand, that's why I ask for help and explanation.
When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price.
I am not against paying, but how and to whom to pay?
with your attitude Linux would never have existed in the first place.
Sorry, I hope my attitude is flexible enough, I only need to beter understand this "paying" thing.

As I said, not free in the monetary sense so you can't pay with money. You pay with time and opening up your code to the public. You may donate if you want but you don't pay for the code. You pay for the time put in to thank that person. Just think of the hours put into the kernel or applications like apache and these guys all did it for free in the monetary sense and free putting their code on public display. The free comes from freedom and not having to run proprietary software on your system.

I could agree that "free" may be a confusing term. If you have a look at the GNU Public license [http://www.google.co.uk/url?sa=t&ct=res&cd=1&url=http%3A//www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html&ei=hasDQ9ucBNDSRNKSnXg], you see that the freedom is in the fact that you can do, (more or less), anything that you like with the code, which is quite unlike **anything** that I've seen before, when I was using Mi(s)corsoft products.
So what? what's the the big deal with this "source code" stuff? I don't need the code - I want to play music, write files just like any regular home user. Who cares if it's free...
-If you ever have a bug in any GNU tools or apps then you can contact the developer(s), forums, wikis and notify them. Bugs and security issues get spotted pretty quickly in the GNU/Linux world and the news spreads like wild fire. This is most unlike proprietary software, where you have no real control over the software or operating system running on your machine(s). I'm a civil engineer on a large project and I can tell you there are more bugs in the boxes at work than in my garden ;)
-If you think that you can improve the code for a software then you can. You can even sell that if you want to so long as others have the same rights that you do when you got the code.
-Having the rights to the code means that you can tune the operating system, (kernel), or software to suit your machine.
sorry for the long post....

You can go to Sun's site and download java. When you do, you click on a license agreement that says you can't redistribute it. So we can't. It also does not provide source code, so it's not Free in that sense either. I don't know what Mepis does--perhaps they have a deal with Sun, or perhaps they are in a free country. Same is true of Flash. You are "free' to download it from their site, but you can't redistribute it. They don't provide source either. You can get the source code to everything on the BLAG CD.

Thank you jebba. I understand now: this programs are allowed for individual user, under special conditions and nothing more. This is one post on Mepis about legal issues
and discusion is very hot: "Yeah it is free for download but is it free for distribution?" - question you just answer to me.

Not quite.
I don't use either. Java does not seem to be too popular in "focused-on-content" sites, very rarely i see an applet, and i wouldn't use it if i had it installed either. Flash, on the other hand, has become more popular, but still i can browse most sites perfectly. Add to that the advantage of not seeing any epilepsy-triggering ads. Sometimes i miss a link or two, but up to now they are usually non essential things (for example, a couple of days ago someone send me a link to a "youtube" video, but i couldn't see it. That's not missing something relevant...).

What I originally meant by this is that it was aimed at the people who keep complaining about blag not including java or flash. After installing blag just go download flash and java. Its not that hard. I wasn't saying for you amazing people who work on blag to include them in the distro.

Something bored into the canes of my rose bushes last year, leaving hollow openings at the ends wherever I made a pruning cut. This spring I notice that a lot of those canes have died back. What's doing it?
There are a number of species of bees and wasps that burrow into soft or dead wood to create nesting places to lay eggs and raise their young. These are solitary insects, not colonizers like honeybees. Although they usually seek out decaying wood to make their nests, the pithy heart of a rose cane is soft enough to invite their attention.
One species of burrowing bee is the leaf cutter bee, which leaves more obvious evidence of its presence in the dime-sized, semicircular holes cut into rose leaf edges. These bees are important pollinators, so while you might want to shoo them away from your roses, please don't go about it by using anything toxic.
You can discourage bees and wasps from setting up household in your rose garden by dabbing a bit of grafting wax (buy it from an agricultural supply retailer) on each cut as you prune your roses, cut bouquets, or deadhead. Some rose gardeners report that a drop of white glue on each pruning cut also works—but it would have to be a type of glue that doesn't wash away in the rain.
The damage from leaf cutter bees is usually insignificant and doesn't compromise the plant's health or vigor. You might decide that applying grafting wax—a messy and tedious task—is worse than simply pruning away the occasional damaged cane. —Doug Hall

Sadly I had to send the pants back simply because the size was too narrow in the hips and thighs. I ordered a pair by White Sierra and the XL was roomy and a bit long. These were entirely to small in the thigh area I could not pull them up. These might be better suited for someone with slimmer hips and thighs. Overall the quality of the pants felt sturdy and good. I like the zipper on the inner thigh area.
Loved how slim these snowboard pants were. I had a hard time finding styles that weren't flared or super baggy, these were perfect. I got these for general snow activities however so I can't attest to how they hold up when actually snowboarding.

Well, looking at your realm, it hardly appears to be a backwater. My initial response on reading the post was going to be "don't restrict yourself to your current server if you want to find the best fit for you" but it looks like you have plenty of guilds who have killed at least 3 bosses in Firelands.
Do your homework - have you been through every one of those guilds, checked their websites for recruitment info, found the ones with suitable raid times for you, etc. etc? Also consider your (potential) application from a guild's point of view: you have no Firelands experience and your armoury doesn't suggest hugely extensive experience of the previous tier of raiding either. This isn't intended as a criticism; I'm just pointing out that you might have to temper your expectations, because a 6/7 or 7/7 guild would need a very, very good reason to take on someone of your level of progression right now.
And if none of the guilds on your own realm are suitable, consider looking further afield. I wouldn't personally recommend moving to a low population server and/or poorly progressed server because if - for whatever reason - the guild you transfer for doesn't suit you, you'll be stuck on a rock and out of pocket for the privilege.

CROFTON, Md. - An 83-year-old Crofton man was flown to the hospital after a leaf blower he was using caught fire.
The Capital of Annapolis ( http://bit.ly/SqaS7n) reports fire officials were called Monday to the 2100 block of Davidsonville Road and found the man suffering from second and third degree burns covering half of his body.
A fire department spokesman says the man's injuries were serious but not life- threatening.
The spokesman said the man's clothing caught fire from the leaf blower. A person driving by saw what was happening and stopped his car to help.

"A lot of people talk about the attitude era being so great but a lot of it was terrible crap, sex jokes and over-the-top terrible bad comedy. It was Jerry Springer-like. They made a joke about a woman's breasts. Hilarious, but where's the wrestling? I look back on a lot of stuff now, and I'm like where's the wrestling? It's just a lot of crappy jokes." - Dean Ambrose discusses his disdain for a popular WWE era
October 10, 2014
One of the things that will help Roman Reigns in his quest to win the WWE title is the fact that he has a good amount of sex appeal. It was one of the first things that Triple H noticed when he met Reigns. The company keeps track of what fans are saying through social media, and they're easily able to see that a lot of female fans are attracted to his looks. That might help draw in the female demographics.
August 16, 2014
There is a surprising amount of people online who are searching for a sex tape featuring AJ Lee and CM Punk as of late. It is a bit unusual as there is not one in existence. The former WWE Divas Champion is currently taking some time off from the road to be with her boyfriend, who walked away from the company a couple of months back because of backstage heat.

"Which one of these motherfuckers talked to god, and god said that same sex marriage was a no can do? Can you verify? Can you give me some 411 on that background? I've got some damn good friends that are gay. I'm absolutely for same sex marriage. I don't think that there is a god that says you cannot do this, you cannot do that. If two cats can't get married, but then a guy can go murder 14 people, molest 5 kids, then go to fucking prison and then accept god, he's going to let him into heaven. After the fact that he did all that shit? See, that's all horse shit to me. That don't jive with me." - Steve Austin on gay marriage

One of the more searched items online among professional wrestling fans is a Naomi Knight sex tape video. The much talked about footage does not actually exist however. WWE fans who do not watch Total Divas are assuming that the quick sex scene on the show is much more explicit than it really was.
March 25, 2014
"It was a tough situation. It's probably the hardest I've ever been kicked, bar none, but at the end of the day it's all about choices. It is what it is. At the end of the day, the pros are handling it, and no matter what it is, I understand people. And for whatever reason, I forgive him. I forgive myself for the choices we've made. I can't hate, brother. That's not my deal. Can't do it." - Hulk Hogan talks about Bubba the Love Sponge leaking his sex tape
March 24, 2014
During a recent interview, Buff Bagwell noted that he was not being paid to have sex with people. The former WCW star stated that Showtime would not allow such a thing. It was discovered earlier this month that Bagwell had become a gigolo in Nevada, and that he was one of the stars of a new reality television show that focused on that industry.
March 20, 2014
Some rumors about a Stephanie McMahon sex tape heated up earlier in the week, as fans added fuel the fire without really doing research. The video in question involves two people having sex, but neither one of them is a WWE star. A website called Break is simply trying to draw traffic by using a Triple H and Stephanie parody sex video.
March 16, 2014
Generally, WWE tries to avoid things that have the possibility of bringing negative attention from the mainstream media to the company, but Vince McMahon gladly overlooked Hulk Hogan sex tape scandal because he knows that his former world heavyweight champion was still quite the marketing draw. It is considered a non issue backstage.
March 9, 2014
Rumors started spreading on the internet this week that there was a Velvet Sky sex tape available online, but it turned out to be just a hoax, as a website called Break has been targeting traffic from wrestling fans by using the name of the TNA Knockout. Their website simply features a non nude picture of a girl named Ashley Sky.
March 5, 2014
Some cruel fans on Twitter have been making jokes towards Alpha Female, who recently made her debut on Impact Wrestling, stating that she is actual Rob Terry with a sex change. The new TNA star is taking the joke well by acknowledging it on her social media account and even stating that she found it humorous.
February 18, 2014
Rumors recently popped up that there was a Trish Stratus sex tape floating around the internet. However, those were proven to be false. It was simply a website called X Videos using her name on a video that featured a blonde girl that looked a little like the former WWE diva. There are no sex tapes of Trish Stratus anywhere on the internet.
February 13, 2014
An adult website called Porn Cache is claiming to have a Melina Perez sex tape, which has caused quite the frenzy with WWE fans who are hoping to get a glimpse at an all nude diva. However, the naked girl in the video is not Melina. She is simply a somewhat hot brunette porn star that bares a slight resemblance.
January 18, 2014
Rumors were floating all over the internet that there was a Triple H sex tape floating around. It was said that he did one with Hollywood actress Julia Stiles. However, those rumors have been proven to be false, as it was simply a website known as Ninja Hangout pulling a hoax to generate traffic. The website has since been pulled.
January 1, 2014
WWE has quietly released Judas Devlin, a developmental wrestler who was supposed to have been called up to the main roster to join Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan in the Wyatt Family stable. He has been removed from the official roster page for WWE NXT.
January 26, 2014
There were some serious speculations recently that Judas Devlin was going to be brought up by WWE from developmental to join the Wyatt Family, but a serious injury, one that might end his career, has forced a change of plans.

It's so satisfying to see Maria Cornejo go from strength to strength. For such a long time she has been the fashion editor's best kept secret. Her NY store buzzes with industry insiders stocking up each season. When after the election the first lady became a convert to Cornejo's deceptively simple modernism the word gradually leaked out.
Now her front rows are full of international store buyers and editors in chief all wearing some Cornejo piece and all making it very much their own. It's a canny trick, and one that not many industry leaders seem to want to pull off, to make a woman look like she is wearing her own clothes and not a designer fantasy. It's one of many things Maria Cornejo does brilliantly.
I've lost track of the number of times I have asked all shapes and sizes of stylish women what they are wearing only to find out it's Zero Maria Cornejo. I know selfish is not stylish but there is so little that is precious and exclusive out there that I can't help but feel a pang of loss, now that she is so much in demand.
This winter there is a boxy jacket in chestnut leather has must have written all over it. The soft cocoon coats in variations of camel or a pop of scarlet for the brave looked like modern classics. Her funnel hooded tailoring and shaggy sleeved cardigan coats picked up a prevailing trend in way that looks current but not slavishly fashionable. And Maria does a day to evening dress better than just about anyone. The draped viscose with elbow length sleeves is one devotees will be adding to their collection.

text: I upgraded the kernel to version 2.6.24 yesterday which always causes me considerable grief. For those that haven't been in earshot, a serious exploit in the kernels since 2.6.17 was discovered in the past week that all users should upgrade from. I've been so entirely happy with my last kernel that I haven't saw the need to update for sometime… But as I was saying – this makes me nervous. You see, I'm without a BootCD and I never could get LiveUSB to work so if it screws up, I'm screwed – dead ibook. Thank goodness this wasn't the case and the upgrade was flawless. 2.6.24 feels pretty light and I haven't noticed any issues with it – so I'll keep my fingers crossed.

Windows 7 and Vista Map a Network Drive
From ITwiki
How to
NOTE: These instructions apply to both Windows Vista and Windows 7.
Before you can access a Network Drive on Windows Vista it needs to be Mapped as a Local Drive. This means assigning it a Drive letter.
You'll need your Campus Domain Account Information as authentication.
After the Drive is mapped it will appear as a link under 'My Computer.'
Step 1 - Click Start (easy)
Open your start menu.
Step 2 - Open Computer Link
Find the link button labelled 'Computer' and click to open it.
Step 3 - Click Map Network Drive
Towards the top of the window that just opened (the Computer) will be a link button labelled 'Map a Network Drive.' That's exactly what we want to do, so go ahead and click to open.
Step 4 - Enter the Drive Name
If you read the article on storage01 then you will have an idea of what drives you can map. In this tutorial we will map the ms drive.
Step 5 - Use a different Username
If you read the article on Mapping A Network Drive then you may know that Stevens requires some authentication to access Network Drives. Unfortunately Windows Vista will default to trying to use your Windows log on name and password. This is not always the same as your Campus Domain Account name. So we need to tell Windows Vista to use your Campus Domain username and password.
To do this click the small text link 'different user name'
* In Windows 7, check the box next to Connect using different credentials
Step 6 - Enter Campus Domain Information
To complete the mapping process just enter your Campus Domain user name and password.
For the username make sure it's in the formate of campus\username where username is your Campus Domain user name.
For password simply enter your Campus Domain Password.

UPDATED: Friday, November 30, 2012 -- 7:25 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- A rematch is shaping up at the Wisconsin Legislature over proposed streamlining of Wisconsin's mine permitting laws this winter.
Leaders from northern Wisconsin communities pleaded for environmental protections at a hearing of a special legislative committee Thursday.
Officials with the Wisconsin Mining Association also testified before the state Senate Select Committee on Mining. They presented a consultant's report critical of current permitting laws.
The Wisconsin State Journal (http://bit.ly/YckXJW ) reports Republicans on the committee say the GOP will test its new majorities by trying to again pass the mining bill that failed last session.
Gov. Scott Walker said this week that Gogebic Taconite, the company that wanted to build a mine near Lake Superior but pulled out after the bill failed, is interested in returning if the legislation eases its way.

Posted Thursday, November 8, 2012 --- 10:41 a.m.
MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- It's a Republican redux in Madison.
After surging back into full control of state government in Tuesday's elections, GOP legislative leaders already are laying the framework for the next legislative session.
They've been vague about exactly what's on tap. But their top priority will be crafting the next state budget. The rest of their agenda likely could include another stab at revising mining statutes, more work on lightening business regulations, tax cuts, voucher school expansion and legislation aimed at job creation.
Democratic leaders say they hope Republicans have learned they need to reach across the aisle after the last session, which saw Senate Democrats flee the state in a futile attempt to block a GOP plan to strip most public workers of nearly all their union rights.

It was a dramatic scene in the Senate this week. As Sen. Elizabeth Warren, presiding, announced the defeat of the Keystone XL pipeline, a Crow Creek Sioux man from South Dakota sang out in the Senate gallery. A massive people's climate movement against extracting some of the dirtiest oil on the planet had prevailed ... at least for now.

Washington, D.C. – Ron Jibson believes that every American should have access to the benefits of natural gas. The Chairman, President and CEO of Questar Corp. in Salt Lake City, Jibson will be Chairman of the American Gas Association (AGA) in 2013. At an event at AGA headquarters in Washington, DC this morning, Jibson outlined how America's natural gas utilities will deliver the promises of natural gas in 2013 and beyond.
"For more than 177 million Americans, natural gas provides warmth and a hot shower, fuel to cook meals and wash and dry clothes. Our companies make people's lives better on a daily basis by delivering essential energy," Jibson said. "We can do more. This nation has significant opportunity presented by the incredible abundance of clean, affordable natural gas right here at home. Greater use of natural gas can boost our economy, enhance our national security and improve our environment."
Jibson discussed several priorities for making his vision a reality including expanding and upgrading infrastructure to continue to safely and reliably deliver gas to customers, expanding the use of natural gas in transportation, investing in efficient technologies like combined heat and power, and working alongside clean and renewable energy sources to build a clean energy portfolio without sacrificing economic growth.
Ron Jibson has been with Questar Corporation for 32 years. He started as a design engineer and has held the positions of executive vice president, vice president of operations, general manager of operations, operations manager and director of engineering.
Jibson was AGA's representative in discussions on industry preparedness during the formation of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security in the aftermath of the September 11th attacks. Now, he is leading an effort by the AGA Board of Directors to help member companies reduce the risk of cybersecurity attacks.
"The top priority for AGA and its members is safety. Delivering energy in the 21st century comes with new challenges. America's natural gas utilities are taking the actions necessary to minimize cyber vulnerabilities and implementing security measures that do not disrupt the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas to our customers."

Impact Your World Week
Each year, there are two special weeks at Anderson University when guest speakers are invited to spend the week on campus, "encouraging us toward both the inward and outward movements of our life with Christ." These speakers present at both Tuesday and Thursday chapels in addition to two extra evening chapels. Many students say these are their favorite chapels. Spiritual Emphasis Week happens during first semester and this special week during second semester is calledImpact Your World Week.
This year Impact Your World Week is February 7-9. During this time students have the chance to learn from an off-campus speaker who focuses on Christ's call to serve the world, while using one's faith to "impact your world." The Campus Ministries office sponsors the week, which gives students a time to reflect on their own circumstances and lives, while trying to see the bigger global picture.
Impact Your World Week speakers in the past have included Dan Kimball, Reggie Dabbs, Dr. Lori Salierno, Dr. Andy Odle, and many others. Our special speaker this year is bestselling author, prominent Christian activist, and sought-after speaker, Shane Claiborne. Shane has written a number of books and articles, and travels around the globe speaking about peacemaking, social justice, and Christ. He is the author of a number of books including The Irresistible Revolution, Jesus for President, and Becoming the Answer to Our Prayers. Shane graduated from Eastern University, worked with Mother Teresa for ten weeks in Calcutta, and spent three weeks in Baghdad with the Iraq Peace Team.
Shane is a founding partner of The Simple Way in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, which is "a web of subversive friends conspiring to spread the vision of 'Loving God, Loving People, and Following Jesus' in our neighborhoods and in our world." Shane brings a unique set of experiences to the table to challenge AU students to make an impact in their world.
I encourage you to be praying for your child and the AU community as we encounter Impact Your World Week. Please keep in your prayers our speaker, Shane, and the impact this week will have on our students, our community, and our world.

Consciousness In The Cell
In our daily lives, frequently we hear people complain, "My blood pressure's too low" or, "I've got high blood pressure." Very few of them are even aware that regulating their blood pressure is the duty of the kidneys.
Aside from many other bodily functions, the kidneys have also taken up the task of adjusting blood pressure or tension. In determining blood pressure, the most important factor is the amount of fluid in the blood vessels. Along with any increase of fluid in the veins and arteries, blood pressure increases—thereby causing long-term harm to all organs in the body. Hypertension—that is, an increase in the amount of fluid in the blood vessels poses a dangerous situation for human beings. If measures are not taken, death will result.
The body's able to sense an increase in fluid in the blood vessels, thanks to receptors located in the front chambers of the heart. The heart stretches when a large amount of fluid enters it and, in response to this, receptors send a signal to the brain, which responds by causing the renal arteries to increase their filtering action. An increase in blood pressure causes the heart to stretch even more. With this stretching, the muscle fibers are extended, releasing messenger molecules trapped within them, which then enter the bloodstream.
This "message" thus reaches the kidneys through the circulation. In response, the amount of fluid excreted from the body increases. In this way, blood pressure returns to normal, and the heart can resume its normal beating.
1. angiotensinogen 2. liver 3.blood 4. angiotensin I
5. renin 6. kidney 7. ACE 8. lungs 9. angiotensin II 10. blood vessel
The system that's vital for regulating blood pressure
The kidneys' duty in regulating blood pressure doesn't end there. In circumstances where the blood pressure is too low, an enzyme called renin is secreted by specialized cells of juxtaglomerular apparatus, or JGA located in the kidneys. Renin has no direct effect in raising blood pressure, however. It combines with angiotensinogen, another substance secreted far away in the liver, to form angiotensin I in the blood.
Once again, angiotensin I has no major effect on blood pressure. This hormone is in turn converted to angiotensin II, by the action of another substance present in the lungs called angiotensin-converting enzyme, or ACE. This enzyme's sole duty is to degrade angiotensin I.
And so, the end product of all of these steps is the only molecule that directly affects blood vessels and actually brings blood pressure back to normal. If this "ultimate' molecule is not synthesized, none of its precursors can have any effect on blood pressure. Again, only when the angiotensin II molecule binds to specific receptors on the cell surface, do the vessels constrict and blood pressure increases.
Here, the most important point to consider is that each of these substances' effects are interdependent. Since the absence of one molecule means the absence of all, how could even one of these steps have evolved through chance? For if even one step cannot come about by chance, then it's impossible for all the others to arise at the same time, in one single body.
No one could argue that coincidence can confer upon the kidneys the ability of understanding, or to take precautions or make decisions. That all these details exist at the same time is a clear indication that they were created by God.
He is God—the Creator, the Maker, the Giver of Form. To Him belong the Most Beautiful Names. Everything in the heavens and Earth glorifies Him. He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. (Qur'an, 59: 24)

First post. Figured I'd finally jump in instead of perpetually lurkin'.
1. The one huge thing that I see ADB not doing and capitalizing upon are the counters. For the most part (when miniatures are not involved) it's a game of counters. Mostly boring counters. I understand the counters have been that way since back in the back in the, but mayhaps it's time for a slight change? I mean, square counters on hexes? Doesn't this single incongruancy rub anyone else the wrong way, besides being impractical in terms of ship facing?
I believe aesthetics are the #1 thing that turns off any newcomers. If someone were to look at a game in progress, typically they'd see a bunch a small, rather dull counters with tiny lettering being pushed about on a group of hex panels. Kinda lame. Not many but the most core of Trek fans are going to step up to that and ask what it's about.
Now don't get me wrong, I love this game and most everything Star Trek. I'm not here to hate on the hobby. I'm just saying there's so much more that could be done to make the game more attractive and accessible without changing a single rule.
OK, the point. Get in touch with GF9. There's really no reason to not have sets of ships available for each race, super rad cloak counters to place over your cool hexagonal shaped ship tokens, plus neato drone, plasma, shuttle counters. How many folks here would absolutely lay down their cash for their favorite race in the form of nicely designed tokens that look awesome on the table? Look at Warmachine, every single player has multiple sets of Warcaster tokens. Every player.
This goes for the hexless miniatures play as well. Cool turning templates, bases etc would be great and make the game easier to play as well.
I just think this is one place to make some inroads (and some cash..) with new and established gamers. If you guys don't step up, well someone else is gonna do it...
2. Getting into the game is still very confusing. Even as an established gamer, it took a bit to figure out which Border set to buy and which booster has what etc. Once you read over a few things, it sets in and begins to make sense. But in terms of the guy walking by the rack...no way. They just see some dusty SFB looking stuff and kep on going. Don't want to start any GW nonsense here, but say what you want, those guys know how to get folks interested and started in their games.
3. What should ADB not be doing. The blog, at least as it's being written now. When I click on the "Hot News" link from starfleetgames.com or the blog link from federationcommander.com, I would expect to maybe see some news or thoughts from behind the scenes at ADB. While this type of content does appear here most of the time, more often than not, the space is used for personal rants. This is not the place to write about Osama or Sky Diving, politics, or whatever. This is very, very, extremely unprofessional. These posts have the potential to offend, alienate, and damage ADB 100 times more than any amount of good the writer hopes to do with the words. Ditch this kind of content, and keep the blog solely about ADB and Trek. Start a personal blog and write whatever comes to mind there and keep it there. (I can't be the only thinking this.)
4. Look into the counters thing. It could be big. GF9 are good people.
Finally, just want to say thanks for making a a fast playing, deeply strategic trek combat game that I didn't have to go to a special college in order to learn how to play. (SFB blew my mind, I wanted to play, but couldn't handle it!)
First post over. Hopefully I don't get banned...

Now, now. That isn't called for.
You made a well reasoned, well stated opinion of your view of the game. While the game designers may not agree with your points, or may agree but not be able to do them (throwing away all current counters to replace them with new ones isn't an easy economic move), your opinions are quite reasonable.
Then you go and make the whole thing confrontational with that last sentence.
Please don't do that. ADB isn't going to be offended by honest opinion, or they wouldn't have asked the questions in the first place.
(Also, please note that this is not a warning or anything. This is simply an observation and polite request.)

My bad mjwest. I meant that tongue in cheek. Then again, maybe you meant your post to be tongue in cheek as well. Ah, the vagaries of the internets. I guess I shoulda used one of them smiley things. I'm new to this message board thing.
I never meant to put forth the idea of abandoning all the current counters, just the option of having super cool, higher grade ones is all. Kinda like the option of using ship models if you want to.

OK, sorry for "missing" the invisible smiley.
On the counters, I think that is what the large counters are intended for. They are full color, bright and have pretty pictures on them. Plus, the smaller counters are much prettier than the old SFB counters were. Instead of only having an outline, you get a whole mini-picture.
Though, I do admit that having hex-shaped counters would be cool.

I think hex shaped counters would be cool too. Not sure if it's something that ADB wants/can do; they'd all have to be re-designed and then printed.
If they were done and offered w/ new sets or as replacements for the current products I'd buy them.

If somehow they were produced, I wouldn't be buying new hex-shaped counters.
I have several older games that used them and in my opinion, they didn't do anything to the looks. They also had two extra corners to get frayed and bent over time. They only minimally improved edge-facing, etc.
Counters for a minis-playing guy like me are just a bonus or a backup anyways. If the minis aren't around at the moment, I play with counters but not as a first choice. Most of the time, I only use the counters if two minis get too close together on the map (they are temporarily replaced with the appropriate 1" counter). I've never used the .5-inch ship counters at all.
Die or laser-cut firing arc templates and things like that would be something I would definitely spring for, but not for hex-shaped counters.

I remember the old FASA counters for the ST Combat Simulator game and they were hex-shaped. I like them and the detailed drawings of the ships on them.
I wonder if its possible to obtain blank hex counters anywhere these days??? A guy could easily make a template of top-view ship pics, print them on peel-off paper that has adhesive on one side, and make his own custom counters.

Call me Old School (nothing personal there Mr. Ken Lin!
), but I happen to like the square counters.
Yes, we only use the counters 1 time out of 98.6, and even then it's usually the mega-hex counters. Most of the time we simply use miniatures... cause the look nicer and I've only got a few, so we need to use them as much as possible so it looks like I have more.
I have played games in the past that had hex-shaped counters (including FASA's Star Trek: Tactical Combat Simulator) and they not only did not add to the game, they detracted from it somewhat. It's to easy to fudge a counters facing with hex counters, there are extra corners to be trimmed / cut, they mfg can't afford to replace the dies as easily and as often as with the standard square counters - so the eventually get to the point where the cardstock is smashed through as opposed to being cut through, etc.
GF9 counters and templates. It sounds like a great idea, but there are several drawbacks:
Does anyone have any idea what the minimum print run for a counter set is?
ADB has over 200 different ships in Federation Commander alone (and over 2000 in SFB). How many, minimum print runs would that take and what would be the estimated cash outlay?
Next issue, Texas has an inventory tax that is levied on businesses. They would have to stock the total, minimum print runs in their already crowded warehouse and then pay an annual tax on them - just for the privilege of keeping them.
Firing arc templates: We [Battlegroup Murfreesboro] took some transparency acetate and printed firing arc templates on it and trimmed thm down ot size many years ago. They didn't work as well as one would expect. Since we use miniatures, the templaes kept knocking over the minis, and it was sometimes hard to position them to show the actual arcs.
We now have a very, low-tech solution to the firing arc vs. shield boundary question. A piece of bright yellow yarn stretched from the center of the firing hex to the center of the target hex crosses the hex side of hte fire arc and the hex side of the target's shield boundary. Quick, simply, cheap, and painless. Although sometimes for extra added realism, we use a piec of yarn that is in the firing ships racial colors!

I that Federation Commander would profit from a campaign setting geared totally for FC, not a f&E variant.
with a random rules engine and way to start quickly with a group of gamers, this could constitute a variation of the clasiscal wargame and allow for a FC ongoing Dungeons & Dragons style campaign, with ships as the characters...

I'm not sure if my being new to SFU and only having played FedCom makes this post more helpful or less but here is my two cents worth.
My biggest issues when I decided to buy FC was figuring out what to buy and in what order. The web site and forums were very helpful with this, but it was by no means intuitive. My FLGS owner was as confused as I was. My confusion may be caused by the fact that I usually have 2 wee ones in tow when I visit said shop and I do not have as much time as I would like to browse. (I know, I know, as much time as I would like in a game store is like having as many Mini's/dice/games ect. as I would like, but you get the point). Academy seems like a good solution to this but if you do want to jump all the way into the system is a bit confusing
I have taught myself and 3 others the game all of us have gamed for years yet none found the game to be readally understandable until we played. Still I would shy away from changing the complexity of the system. Simplifying the game would cost playability and there is no point in having a streamlined SFB if it continues to get more and more complex.
They may be products without enough demand but I would buy faction specific dice and or poker chips for tracking energy cost. Both of these items are easy enough for the individual to do on their own, there are a number of companies doing custom dice and poker chips. I would assume the ADB would be able design better sets and purchase these items in amounts that would lower the cost compared to that of the individual attempting the same thing.
I also would like to say that I have following PallidaMors campaign posts with rapt attention. Myself and the players I have introduced to the game see this as the way we like to play once we feel comfortable with the FC system. An official supplement of this type would be fantastic.

These were made back in the day at least for the Feds, Klingons, and Romulans, and a couple others (Hydrans and ISC?). They come up on eBay every now and then. I got a few sets a few months ago. I've seen two types for Feds and Romulans, the racial symbol and the classic TOS ship as the "1" on the dice.
They're nice and add some flavor. But I know how expensive and hit or miss those types of things cane be. Especially since everyone is going to want "their favorite faction".

I've seen the old dice online and don't like replacing 2 sides because no one will ever agree which side is the 6 and which is the 1. Replacing the 1 would make more sense to me in that a 1 is always the best result you can hope for in FC.
I agree that this is a hit or miss item, I had tried to state that in my original post when I said "They may be products without enough demand". Sorry if that wasn't as clear as I thought it was.
The cost is a factor but not as bad as I would have thought Chessex price quotes are;
10-25 dice: $1.00 per side
26-99 dice: $0.75 per side
100-199 dice: $0.60 per side
200-499 dice: $0.50 per side
500-999 dice: $0.42 per side
1000+: please ask for quotes
these are very similar to that of Crystal Caste also. I am unsure how much ADB would have to add to make it worth it to them but if it were close to the 1.00 that I would have to pay to do it myself I would pick up some of each faction.
Of course I may not be the norm, I like dice and use specific dice for each game I play

I would really like to second this.
I used to play some SFB back in my younger days and was recently thinking about getting back into it. I was tooling around the site and then I hit the blog and felt distinctly turned-off as it were. I don't want to make broad generalizations but a lot of the entries made me feel like I was too politically left of the SFB community if this was a representation of it.
I think you really might loose some prospective players
You can be a pinko and fly a D7 properly at the same time. I should know.
My two cents.

The universal remote is becoming the thing of the past. OK, maybe not. Some people love the idea of having a dedicated controller. Some love the idea of multiple controllers. For others, however, the advent of the smartphone and/or tablet computer has put an end to all other remotes.
Pretty much every AV manufacturer has some type of add-on app to control its own products. For those in search of something slightly more comprehensive, there's the Harmony Link. The Harmony Link puts some of the features we've come to know and love from Logitech's Harmony remote line, and puts them into your favorite smartphone and/or tablet product.
The Harmony Link consists of piece of hardware that looks like a little hockey puck. This connects to your setup, acting as a middleman between your mobile device and up to eight different AV devices. To link those two things together, you're also going to need the Harmony Link app, which is available as a free download through iTunes and the Android Market.
Will this little add-on want you to shelve (or "drawer") all of the other remotes in the house? Let's take a closer peek at Logitech's latest Harmony product.
Logitech Harmony Link is a small device that connects to your home Wi-Fi network. It turns signals from the Harmony Link app into infrared commands that can control your TV, set-top boxes, music systems and many other home entertainment devices. It even has an IR mini blaster that allows it to send signals through closed cabinet doors
Visit Logitech to Learn More About the Harmony Link
"While the Harmony Link gets a lot right (like including Harmony's activity-based buttons like 'Watch TV'), its limitations hold you back from what you really want to do: browse and set recordings from your iPad rather than your DVR's interface."
Read the Full Review
"Like most Harmony products from Logitech, the hardware is fantastic and the software leaves a lot to be desired. Sure, it's easy to program and get up and running, but going outside the box even a little isn't something we'd recommend trying."
Read the Full Review
Laptop Magazine
" Logitech's app provides a nice layout with just the right amount of information, but it could be made even simpler. When you want to change the time slot, you first have to press the time, then select the hour from the box that appears. Why not just have a slider?"
Read the Full Review
We expect a lot out of our Harmony-branded products and had extremely high hopes for the Harmony Link. In fact, we still do. Logitech's initial outing with the product sort of misses the mark. That said, it certainly has good intentions and offers up another way to control your system (and justify your smartphone and/or tablet). It just seems like it could have done so much more, though. The fact that it's app-based makes us hopeful that the company may upgrade some of the product's shortcomings in the near future. If you're willing to chance it, or just need a little more Harmony in your life, the $99 MSRP is a respectable price for this type controller.

This ring is an eye catcher! truely a bling bling ring.I had looked at this ring for months. when my husband one day surprised me with it. He must have noticed me drowling over the computer. LOL Because we had never purchaed diamonds on the internet before. I thought maybe I should have it looked at by a local jeweler. In which I did, not one but two local Jewelers, just to make sure. Both said yes it was a great ring and very high quality. Infact at both places I seen the same ring, but small version and they wanted just as much as we had purchasedd this ring for. Also a few days later I noticed thisa ring had went on sale. So I contacted Overstock right away. They issued me a 300.00 credit on overstock.com I would have rather they adjusted the price on our credit card. But oh well........my husband doesn't know so looks like I get another 300.00 to spend on myself on overstock.com!
This is definitely the most beautiful ring I have ever laid eyes on. The picture gives no indication of exactly how beautiful it is. It is a very large ring and with the band on easily takes up the entire lower part of the finger. I was hesitant about ordering a ring on line, but since it could be returned, decided to go ahead. When the ring was delivered I was blown away by how beautiful it is. Out of curiosity, I took the ring to a local jeweler to have it appraised and I am happy to say it appraised for almost $2000 dollars more than we paid!!!
I bought this for an engagement ring. She loved it. Im thinking of buying another band to make it close to 4 carrots total! Its a great buy!!
Overall this ring is a perfect 10! It is absolutely stunning and all my girlfriends drool over it. I ordered a 7 and it fits a little snug maybe a 1/2 extra would be more fitted but the photos do this ring no justice. It's just so much more stunning and beautiful in person. It is what I call a complete over the top eye catcher!! I'm completely in love with it and was at the best price for the Cts.
My husband has done it again bc this ring is absolutely gorgeous and I already received so many compliments from close friends and family...
I love this ring. It is so beautiful. The price was fantastic as well. Love, love!~
From the moment he put it on my finger it was love at first sight. Thanks for the quality and the awesome price.
My husband purchased this ring for me as an upgrade. Thank you babe!!!! I was apprehensive about purchasing an H-I, I2-I3 because of research I had done. Experts do not recommend purchasing this type of ring. I�ve got to say every single diamond in this ring sparkles; it is way more beautiful than I expected (picture cannot capture its beauty). There was a mistake in my order ad I initially received the rose gold instead of the white that I had ordered. The rose gold is just as beautiful, the rose color really made the diamonds pop and compliments them rally well, I just have a preference for white gold but if you are thinking of getting the rose do not hesitate it is just as stunning. I am very happy with my ring. Also, it is HUGE!!!! Takes up my entire lower finger, I�ve got to get used to that.
I had been looking at multi diamond rings for quite a while. I wanted something unique. I picked out 3 rings I liked at local jewelry stores and took my fiance to look at them- I gave him the "go ahead" to pick one of these to "surprise" me. Having tried on lots of rings, I knew the style I liked. I wanted something rectangular in shape. When we got home from the mall- I thought I'd look online, just for fun and found this ring. It was exactly what I wanted! I got the white gold version of this ring and it is more beautiful in person that in the pictures. It is true to size- it fit perfectly in the size I ordered. It is sooo sparkly and unique. The wedding band is gorgeous and put together with the engagement ring is quite a statement! It does have lots of "nooks and crannies" that can get dirty, but is easily cleaned and shines like new! I have received many compliments. I couldn't be happier with the beauty of this ring- but even more happy with what it represents- the love and eternal bond between me and my husband!
the ting is nice and sparkly. I would have like the top portion of the ring to be larger though. I saw this ring at another store and loved it. I ordered it from Overstock because of the wedding band that was included is and a nice option. The ring/band is stunning and it gets lots of compliments.

Pony Up: Iacocca Mustang priced from $89,950
by Drew Phillips (RSS feed) on Sep 23rd, 2009 at 11:29AM
With its Metalcrafters-sculpted body, Lee Iacocca's Silver 45th Anniversary Edition Ford Mustang is one of the hottest pony cars on the market. Unfortunately, it's one of the most expensive too. I Legacy, the company in charge of building the car, recently announced that pricing for each of the 45 examples available will start at $89,950. That's about $10,000 more than the GT500KR or more than triple the base price of a 2010 Mustang GT. If you want items like the Ford Racing supercharger or the big brake kit, you're looking at nearly six figures. Are we surprised? If anything, we're... Read More
