Founded in 1841, Fordham University is the Jesuit University of New York, offering an exceptional education distinguished by the Jesuit tradition. It was established as St. John's College by the Right Rev. John Hughes, Coadjutor-Bishop (later Archbishop) of New York, on old Rose Hill Manor in the village of Fordham, then part of Westchester County. St. John's College was the first Catholic institution of higher education in the northeastern United States. The name Fordham is derived from the Anglo-Saxon words "ford" and "ham," meaning a wading place or ford by a settlement. The College's name was officially changed to Fordham University in 1907.
Today, Fordham draws students from across the country and the world who want to live and learn while immersed in the diversity and opportunities of a world capital. Students choose from more than 60 majors in liberal arts, sciences, and business, and complete a rich core curriculum that spans literature, history, science, theology, philosophy, and the arts.
With its two distinctive residential campuses, Jesuit tradition of academic excellence, and the great city of New York as its partner, Fordham offers students virtually unlimited opportunities for learning and personal growth.

buy the 264 chest from gunship (boe) and get the other 4 pieces of t10 from emblems
I just hit 80 and I'm starting heroics on my Druid (as heals since it was easier to pick up a heal set that's leather/cloth) and I'm looking for advice on emblem pick order for a tanking set (mine currently isn't good enough for heroics). I've looked online all over and I've only been able to find BIS/Frost emblem pick order. I was wondering if anyone had some advice on a pick order for mostly triumph with a few frost items and any must have heroic/normal mode goodies (TOC/ICC ones like The Black Heart)
Sorry if this needed to go in the HELP section but I wasn't sure which one would be more relevant.
I'm looking for gearing up selections, mostly Triumph pick order, not necessarily BIS or frost emblems (found tons of those already online).
*Edit* To be clear the goal is 1) gear my tank set up to run heroics acceptably (I know I'm crit immune the biggest thing is getting enough hp that I don't take 1-2 bad hits and drop like a rock since most healers are over geared avoidance/taking more damage overall isn't as big of a concern starting out??) 2) gear tank/heals up to run ICC 10 normal (and switch over to a BIS list that's already online) Probably should have mentioned that in title but it's to late to change it now (an admin can if they feel it will help)

The easiest way to get gear is to farm the ToC5 and ICC5 man dungeons on Normal, this should give you a nice set to start tanking with without too many worries
Once you have about 30~K Health in Bearform you should be okay to run heroics, that's what I did when I hit 80 anyway.
I suggest putting blue gems in your (Triumph) gear because it's really not worth it to gem them with the Epic gems since you'll replace your gear fast.
There's also some good gear available for Druid tanks in ToC10/25, a chest and leggings, same with some weapons, the Twin's Pact and Anguish ones. (I used Anguish because I never had Twin's Pact drop, use Distant land now.)
For Weapon enchant I highly recommend Mongoose, Because it boosts your TPS considerably.
I wouldn't run ICC10 until you have about 45~K/50Kish Health with the 30% buff that's in place now, reason for this is that Druids take larger hits than Plate wearing tanks and we really rely on our huge healthpool to keep us alive.
Ehm, I can't really help you with a pick order as of this point because I don't really know what your gear is right now but the Triumph Headpiece Mask of Lethal intent is rather nice, then I guess you should get the Duskstalker Pauldrons. Also get the Idol of Mutilation but, as soon as you can spend the Frost emblems, get the Frost emblem Idol because it is BiS for Feral tanks. (Don't do this until you have all your T10 pieces that you want though) I don't recommend the Dodge trinket from the triump vendor. Just get Black Heart and maybe one from ToC10/25 if you can. Get the Corroded Skeleton Key once you can spare the emblems and then try to get the Sindragosa trinket. (If that's too farfetched go for Juggernaut's Vitality)
I got a useful link for you though for when you get better geared: http://www.tankspot.com/showthread.p...t-In-Slot-list
And incase you're curious here's my druid (Currently in sortof DPS gear/some tanking gear because Armory is a fag): http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sh...mmer&cn=Roscoe
You could also look up Roscoe on Twilight's hammer on Wow-heroes.com, that shows my tanking set.
Hope this helps a bit. (Also don't gem for Agility please. Pure Stam and one Agi/Stam Gem to fill the red gem you need for your Metagem)

The glyph of indom is an awesome triumph trinket to get. That was my first purchase when my warrior dinged. I learned from my pally and DK that the Glyph + Black Heart make you much more healable. MMM...armor.
"he doens't need healing, he doesn't need healing, he doesn't nee-WHAOSHIT!wtf was that man!". Please stop leaning on TDR. -Teng
Yes for a Warrior maybe but we're talking about druid tanks here and since they already have more dodge in general than other classes have they value health a bit more. I remember having 40% dodge on my character when ICC came out so I wasn't all that affected by the Dodge debuff in ICC
Glyph is not about dodge; that's immaterial. (and it doesn't matter anyway, as while druids have more dodge they have less avoidance). It's about the ARMOR.
Armor is GOOD. Armor is GREAT. It's a very cheap armor boost.
You were affected the same as anyone else was in terms of dodge lost. That's a spurious argument.
For emblems, in general this should be your pick order:
Frost: Cloak, Belt. Buy saronite legs and boots. Then head, shoulders, gloves and legs.
Triumph: trinket (unless your trinkets are awesome). Have chest and bracers made. Idol.
So I'm gathering that I should do a combination of random heroics and TOC/ICC 5 mans, getting the good trinkets/weps from the 5 mans and then triumph Idol, trinket. Then get the 245 chest/shoulders made and buy the rest of t9 stuff since the set bonus is only 5% crit and 10% on barkskin (which isn't much since I only use it as an oh shit button, maybe once or twice in an instance total. Then gem everything with +24 stam except one for helm (and a hybrid stam+something else if it's got a big stamina socket bonus). I'm assuming I want the meta that gives 2% armor?
You should be using barkskin as much as you can, the start of large pulls like in Heroic Halls of Reflection is a very nice time to use it.
Just go for the biggest upgrade over your current gears. Here's an example pre-raid set:
Including some BoE, crafted and PvP gears. It's only an example, not best in slot before raid
Stamina + Agility gem is the one you should use to fill the 'red' slot for your Meta Gem.
And yes you want the +2% armor value one.

WASHINGTON - While Winter Weather Advisories were canceled Wednesday afternoon, the region isn't free from weather related dangers going into Thursday morning.
The Maryland State Highway Administration (SHA) has issued a strong plea for drivers to delay early morning travel Thursday, specifically before dawn. Near- freezing temperatures are in the forecast as well as fog, and crews need a chance to ice roads for safe travel.
"Stay off the roads early tomorrow morning, so that SHA crews have the opportunity to proactively treat roadways before morning rush hour," said SHA Administrator Melinda B. Peters in a press release.
"When you step out and see ice on your doorstep, you can assume that roads will be icy as well. Also remember that conditions can change rapidly within just a few miles, and we ask motorists to remain on guard and exercise extreme caution tonight and tomorrow morning."
Virginia State Police also said they'd received nearly 2,000 service calls on Dec. 26 and responded to 686 crashes statewide.
Additionally, the National Weather Service has issued a flood warning for parts of upper Montgomery County including Seneca Creek in Dawsonville until Thursday morning.
Wednesday morning's snow is now rain and should remain that way through the night, says the National Weather Service.
Truckers were being advised to be especially careful when traveling west of the I- 95 corridor as temperatures were expected to fall below freezing. Here's a link to the best places to ride out a storm if conditions worsen.
On Thursday, the entire WTOP listening area is under a Wind Advisory from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. as gusts up to 50 mph are expected. The National Weather Service says the wind could down trees and impact power lines.
The complex storm system has covered the area with a mix of rain, sleet, snow and freezing rain. VDOT started treating and salting the roads with 400 service trucks at 3 a.m. Wednesday in preparation for the weather.
On Wednesday at 3 p.m., this was the latest snowfall information from ABC 7 meteorologist Steve Prinzivalli:
- 3.8" Frostburg, MD
- 3" Gore, VA
- 4" Stephens City, VA
- 3.5" Front Royal, VA
- 2" Haywood, VA
- 1.8" Leesburg, VA
- 1.5" Westminster, MD
- 3.5" Martinsburg, WV
- 1" Damascus, MD
- 1" Gainesville, VA
- 0.8" Chantilly, VA
On Thursday, high winds are expected with temperatures reaching into the mid- 40s during the day. But, on the bright side, the sun should be out and will stay with the region through Friday.
WTOP's Kate Ryan caught some of Wednesday's weather in action on camera. Check it out below.

Delia Bautista, Employee of the Month for December, loves her job. And that's probably an understatement because sometimes, she said, she wants to go to work even while she's at home.
"I like dealing with patients, with people. I like working at this hospital…I consider Kuakini my second home and my co-workers like my sisters."
Delia enjoys working with elderly patients because they remind her of her parents. Treating them well is her way of honoring her father who passed on in 2009 in the Philippines.
"Since I wasn't able to take care of my dad, I want to do it for others," she said. "The best part of my job is working with older people."
Most of the elderly patients specifically ask for Delia to take blood from them because of her gentle manner, one co-worker said. "She is very professional and gentle."
"Our lab assistants don't often get recognition yet Delia consistently exhibits wonderful patient and staff relations and a high level of skill," her nominator said.
Although she didn't think she deserved it, Delia said she is "honored and proud and feels blessed" to be given the Employee of the Month award. In fact, working for Kuakini in a position similar to her training and experience in her home country already makes her feel doubly blessed and grateful.
Delia worked in temporary jobs in schools, food and retail stores after immigrating from the Philippines in 2008. She said hope for a good job was waning until she saw the advertisement for a laboratory assistant at Kuakini. She immediately sent in her resume and after a few months, was hired full time in the Laboratory Department in March 2009. She was ecstatic.
As a laboratory assistant, Delia's primary responsibility is phlebotomy, or collecting blood from patients. Her duties also include blood processing and sterilizing infectious specimens.
Delia likes walking in the park with her husband during her free time. They have two children who live with them and two others who live in the Philippines.

KENSINGTON, Md. - Teenagers care deeply about reputations, and not just theirs - their school's as well.
At one Montgomery County high school, students say just uttering their school's name can make them cringe inside as they brace for the reactions they get.
Sophomore Carmen Dominguez says the most common response she gets when she tells people she attends Albert Einstein High School is, "Oh! You go to Crimestein?"
Einstein was tagged with the negative nickname after a string of incidents involving weapons on campus peaked in 2008: A student brought a gun to sell, and it went off in a boy's bathroom.
No one was hurt, but the school's reputation was damaged, and the name has stuck.
Students and Principal James Fernandez say the tag is unfair and inaccurate. Fernandez says yesterday's reputation doesn't match up with today's reality.
Fernandez points out that over a period of nine years, the Kensington school's programs have improved, academic rigor has been bolstered and students have responded to the changes.
Einstein has an International Baccalaureate program and several academies. Nine years ago, just 43 percent of the graduating students went on to college. Last year, 81 percent headed off to earn a higher education.
"You know, last year we had $17 million in scholarships," Fernandez says.
The issue of labels and negative stereotyping of schools came up during a student town hall meeting Wednesday with Montgomery County Public Schools Superintendent Joshua Starr.
"I would never want a child to feel like, 'Oh, I go to a school that's not as good as others,'" Starr tells WTOP.
Dominguez, the 10th-grader, tells WTOP that when it was time for her to go to high school, her mother was reluctant to send her to Einstein.
"But then she heard about how Einstein was getting a lot better and she heard about how Mr. Fernandez was doing a lot of really good things," Dominguez says.
Along with Einstein's variety of academic programs, Dominguez says she loves the supportive atmosphere.
"We really are a very accepting school," she says.
Machelle Lee, who moved to the area from Indiana, says her neighbors who send their children to private schools initially told her not to send her children to Einstein.
So Lee visited the school herself, and says her fears were allayed "immediately, within the first week of meeting the teachers." She says she also was thrilled when her children came home declaring they loved the school.
Plus, the school's diversity was important to her and her children.
"They've got a Somali club here, they've got an Ethiopian club here - it's fabulous," she says.
Aside from the diversity, Lee says she appreciated the support she got from teachers. Her daughter is an academic self-starter who thrived immediately. But Lee's son is a musician and she says music, not academics, was his priority.
"So when his grades slipped, his teachers would email me, they would contact me and meet with me personally," Lee says.
Lee says teachers also would coach her son, telling him they knew he was capable of so much more.
And to her friends who send their kids to private schools, Lee has a message:
"I would say you guys are fools paying all that money, because this school really rocks," she says.

Money Profile: Pisces
By Astrology.com
When it comes to the Fish, it pays to know which one you're getting, since there are often two (in one). Complex and changeable Pisceans are the dreamers of the Zodiac, kind and empathetic souls who are forever searching for that something more, out there, over the next rainbow. Even if they seem to have it all, the Fish will never end their quest. Exploring their spirit, both mentally and physically, is a favorite pastime of the Fish. This can be exhausting work (these folks feel intensely!); so every now and again, Pisceans will retreat to their favorite 'pond' for a soothing dip. This kind of escape is restorative indeed and can give the Fish the will they need to continue the good fight.
Although the Fish may seem wishy-washy, they're actually quite good with money. It's not important to them, though -- their dreams are. Many dreams, sadly, require money if they are to become a reality, so Pisceans are often compelled to achieve financial success for the greater good. Pisceans rarely worry about money, perhaps because many of them either inherit wealth or marry into it! It's safe to say they enjoy having money around, because it helps to fund their causes. Those Pisceans who don't come across money by accident needn't worry, however, since they are blessed with mental gifts which could easily lead to a fortune of their own!
Prone as the Fish are to swimming in either direction, one never knows which Fish will splash onshore. Pisceans can be exceedingly generous, something which can lead to ill-timed extravagance. Conversely, they can indulge in irrational fears about money which lead them to extreme practicality. Flip a coin!
The Fish like to own their own home, since it provides a safe haven from the changeable world. Nimble as they are with money, they know how to stretch a buck and can make second-hand rags look like designer duds. However, they won't always be attuned to the specifics of their bank balances. 'Out of money?!' the Fish will exclaim. 'Oooops! I'm afraid my mind was elsewhere.'
Sweet-natured Pisceans simply cannot say no when someone asks them for money, yet they'll never keep track of where the money went! Some things are forever hazy with the Fish...

Joie de Vivre - Europe 2011
How is everyone? It has been a while, hasn't it? Almost 2 months! I hope you have all been doing well. Let's pick up from where we left off, shall we?
Like I mentioned in my last post, I was busy spending time with family. It was all fun and good, but truth be told, I was well and truly exhausted. It has been one heck of a trying year, and I have never felt more tired than I have in the previous years gone by. I dread to think what it's going to be like when I officially have 3 school-going kids next year, but ah, I'll cross the bridge when I come to it.
Anyway, I woke up one morning and decided I absolutely deserved a holiday (and by "holiday", I mean no children). So I booked my air ticket and was Paris-bound 10 days later. Life should be well-lived, I thought, so I'll just do it! *pumps fist*
Okay okaaay, I cried all the way from home to Changi Airport, and then all the way from Charles De Gaulle Airport to my hotel because I felt terrible without the young ones. Talk about separation anxiety!
It also did not help that upon arrival, I had to sit through a painful 1-hour traffic standstill. After getting out of the jam, it abruptly changed to F1-style driving laced with colourful swearing, impatient honking and fist-shaking, all thrown in for good measure. It took me 2 whole hours to get into Paris, by which time I was giddy and nauseous.
Early morning, crazy traffic in Paris. Finally made it into the city!
Pin It
When my "F1" taxi driver handed me my bag at the hotel, he shrugged and said, in a tone loaded with resignation, "Paris can be crazy." You're telling me, monsieur. He must have assumed my red, swollen eyes were the result of crying over the astronomical €90 fare.
Anyway, Welcome to Paree! I could not have arrived on a better day, so I was told. It had been grey for the past few days, but on that morning, all that greeted me were pretty azure skies with the faintest streaks of wispy whites.
I stayed in the 7th arrondissement, just a stone's throw from the magnificent Eiffel Tower. As I walked and turned the corner, I saw it ... and it took my breath away. There was hardly anyone in the street at that hour, and it felt as if it I had the Eiffel all to myself. Certainly a moment to remember.
Pin It
Soon, I received messages from home that all was well and the kids were - I quote - "in high spirits" (read: unlimited online games, unlimited Youtube, unlimited cold drinks, unlimited everything). Who wouldn't be high? Shed those tears for nothin', darn it.
From that point, my blues were quickly replaced by the sudden gleeful realisation that I was in Paris without a care in the world. For once, in a long, long, looong time, I could do all the things I wanted to do ... eat, drink, do nothing if I so desired, or everything if I so fancied. It was about being in the moment, and I embraced it with wide, open arms.
My first meal in Paris was with an ex-classmate I hadn't seen in 23 years! She lives there now, and in her words, "love it". We had a wonderful lunch at a charming place - her treat - where we mused about old times over delectable French food and toasted to friendship with Kir Royale.
Joie de vivre were the 3 words that kept popping up in my head. I could get used to this, I remember telling myself.
(Left) One of my favourite dishes - seared Saint Jacques, with truffles in a rocket salad, (Right) Kir Royale.

(Top) Prawns and more Saint Jacques, with truffles, on a bed of sautéed fennel, (Bottom) Café gourmand that was sublime! Oh, and the baguette they served here at Truffes Folies was the best I ate throughout my trip!
Pin It
And that was only the beginning. After Paris, there was Barcelona, Lyon and London. It was such joy to revisit old places with new eyes. In Barcelona back then, we were fresh graduates on our "big" European tour before the corporate world beckoned. I vividly remember us sipping coffee on a lazy Sunday and wondering where life would take us. What divergent paths we have chosen!
The Sagrada Família. So impressive, but why are the construction cranes still there after all these years?!
Pin It
The Casa Batlló. Personally, I wanted to see this more than the Sagrada Família. There's something about whimsical things that speak to me.
Pin It
Or in London, where I spent many a happy summer as a young child. My father may be gone, but in so many familiar places, I saw and remembered how he used to hold my tiny hand in the daunting crowd. Ah, memories ... some happy, some poignant, but nonetheless, all precious.
Peaceful and picturesque Lyon. I will be back.
Pin It
And Lyon. Beautiful Lyon. It was a magical time, as the entire city was celebrating its annual Fête des Lumières (Festival of Lights). In every little quaint street, in every nook and corner, you would see lighted candles that flickered daintily in the chilly breeze of the night. And that amazing dinner at a bouchon? Undoubtedly, hands-down, my most memorable meal of 2011.
We were turned away at so many bouchons - all fully booked for the Festival - and as we tried our dwindling luck at yet another, I will never forget how - after my friend earnestly pleaded for a table - we remained on tenterhooks until the chef edged his way out of the kitchen, pursed his lips and heaved, "OK!" We could hardly contain our excitement! We later learned that it required a 6-month reservation to secure a table during this time of year. That night, as we heartily tucked into the rich and rustic dishes, we counted our every blessing.
(Left) My Quenelle de Brochet Sauce Nantua - a Lynonnaise specialty. I loved it! I tried 3 versions at different places, but this one at Cafe des Federations was in a class of its own. Light, airy, eggy and in a sauce that had the most intense flavour of crayfish. Incredible!
Pin It
Suffice it to say, I. Had. THE. Time. Of. My. Life.
The 2 weeks away gave me the clarity and serenity that can only be gotten when you disengage yourself from the daily grind. I realise inertia can be a powerful thing: a lot of people settle into their comfort zones, and they never ever get out. Sometimes, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to press the refresh button on your life.
I just did and I can't thank myself enough for that.
PS: All photos, with the exception of the 3rd and 4th, were taken using my iphone4S. Long live the iphone! DSL-who?
PS again: Wine is food, darn it! And food should not be so expensive! Why does it cost so much more to drink wine in Singapore? Why?! Everyone should be given the right to good, affordable wine at every meal! *end of rant*

Welcome back, and what a gorgeous trip you had! It is indeed important to disengage thoroughly for a good break sometimes. How I wish I could do the same, but wallet says no! Any more food posts from Europe coming up?ReplyDelete

And I agree with your rant on wine prices in Spore. I live in NZ now, and balk at the prices whenever I come home to visit. Astronomical prices for what is often just 'table' or cooking wine!

Time for Tank Lanning to run the rule over the five matches making up the Rugby 5 bet this week ... and what a strange choice of games it is.
No Boks vs Samoa or Italy vs Scotland to make it simple, instead some brutal outliers in the form of Argentina vs Georgia, and Fiji vs Tonga to go with a tricky little sucker in the form of a mid-Super Rugby break, the Golden Lions vs Sharks fixture.
Spinning the coin might be right up there with what I have to say below...
Each Rugby 5 bet comprises five matches, which are labelled M1 to M5. In each match the home team is shown as Team A and the other as Team B, and you must predict the results of all five matches using one of the following five result options:
1 = Team A to win by difference of 1 to 12 points (say 7-3, 10-9, 24-12 etc)
2 = Team A to win by difference of 13 points or more (say 19-6, 20-3, 32-6 etc)
3 = Draw
4 = Team B to win by difference of 1 to 12 points
5 = Team B to win by difference of 13 points or more
So a look at the weekend then...
M1 Lions vs Sharks
The Lions, promised some much-needed game time against decent opposition by SARU as they build toward the controversial Super Rugby promotion / relegation game against the Kings, were bitter about the Stormers fixture being downgraded to a young WP side last week, and duly blew them away. This week, however, they get their wish in the form of a Sharks side boasting the likes of Riaan Viljoen, Odwa Ndungane, Louis Ludik, Charl McLeod, Jean Deysel and Keegan Daniel. And with young Wiehahn Herbst looking to prove Bok coach Heyneke Meyer's selection of Lourens Adriaanse ahead of him wrong, his battle with the massively powerful JC Janse van Rensburg will be a goodie. The Lions side, with the likes of CJ van der Linde, Michael Bondesio and Dylan des Fountain on the bench, let alone the run on XV, looks competent, if not stellar. They will be more than solid up front, do the basics right, and look to Marnitz Boshoff to control the game. Opposite him will be the never say retire, no matter how many knee operations they send his way, Butch James, and the result may well hinge on how much rust now sits on those joints. I am going to back the wily old fox.
M2 New Zealand vs France
Last week saw the All Blacks at their very best as they fired their way to a 30-0 drubbing of the French that takes their overall record between the two sides to played 53, won 40, lost 12 and drawn 1, and I do not see that trend changing much in New Plymouth this weekend, especially with the legend that is Dan Carter back at the helm. Ma'a Nonu might hack at Super Rugby level, but right at the top, he can kick, pass and cut the line with the best of them. What was also impressive about the All Black performance last week was their defence. Patiently able to absorb wave after wave of French attack, the mistake inevitably came, and the All Blacks were able to pounce, twice scoring majestic tries from over 80 metres out, showcasing their incredible offloading in the tackle and silky passing skills. Also, Kieran Read is in a class of his own at number eight. France have made eight changes this week, two of which are injury-enforced, with fly-half Frederic Michalak (dislocated shoulder) and number eight Louis Picamoles (hip contusion) ruled out. They are replaced by Remi Tales and South Africa-born Antonie Claassen, meaning they are having to use their third fly-half in as many games. Beware the injured cockerel they say, but not this time.
M3 Australia vs British & Irish Lions
And after more warm-up games than you can shake a stick at, we eventually get to see what all the fuss is about - the first of a three-match Test series Down Under. Whether the midweek loss to the Brumbies will serve as a wake-up call or a confidence denter for the Lions remains to be seen, but it really was a makeshift Lions side that included a leftfield call-up of Shane Williams, so perhaps not too much can be read into it. The Lions, though, have lost plenty of players to injury, and that will be a factor. It's 15-5 to the Lions out of the 20 games played between the two sides, with an average seven-point difference, but with tours only happening every twelve years, not much can be read into those stats, bar the fact that the score is unlikely to blow out. Robbie Deans has gone with Israel Folau on the wing, and James O'Connor at fly-half, which suggests a more attacking approach. A lesson from the Brumbies win, though, which was about territory and defence, as is Jake White's way, might suggest the more prudent selection to have been Berrick Barnes at fly-half, instead of full-back, and O'Connor at the back. This series will be decided up front via the scrum and line-out, the battle of the breakdown, and which fly-half dominates the game. The Lions have gone with Adam Jones instead of Dan Cole at tighthead, Sam Warburton as the openside, perhaps influenced by his status as tour captain, and Johnny Sexton at fly-half. The Aussies have a pack that can now actually scrum thanks to the Waratahs, and one of the best opensides in the game in Michael Hooper, so I think the Aussies will shade all the vital battles.
M4 Argentina vs Georgia
Not even listed on the IRB website as an official fixture for the weekend, this truly is a strange game to have as part of the Rugby 5 mix. The two sides have met only twice in their existence, with Argentina winning both. 33-3 in Lyon in 2007, and 25-7 in Palmerston North as part of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. The Georgians are a feisty lot who are more than a little robust on the physical front, and the one thing they can do is scrum. But the Argentineans, father to the famous Bajada scrum technique that sees all eight members of the scrum combining to explode at the same time, are not shy of a little physicality up front and will be smarting at their recent convincing two Test series loss to the second string English. They should have too much in the tank for Georgia, especially at home.
M5 Fiji vs Tonga
The IRB Pacific Nations Cup 2013 will go down to the wire with three sides all in with a mathematical chance of taking the title. Canada needed a win against Japan a win to bag the title at the first time of asking, but they were beaten 16-13 by a hugely in form Brave Blossoms side, who beat Wales on the weekend. The result means Fiji, who defied the driving rain to run in four tries to beat USA 35-10, and Tonga could finish top, depending on how their head-to-head finishes on Sunday in Tokyo. A simple recent comparison would make Fiji the favourites given that Tonga were only able to beat the USA 18-9, but we all know what pressure of a big game can do. The two sides have played each other 85 times with Fiji winning 56 of them, but Tonga are now up to tenth on the IRB world rankings, above Scotland and Italy, while Fiji remain in fourteenth place. Perhaps a good time to haul out the double bet?

Looking to buy a new DSLR camera. I've had compact cameras in the past but feel the need to upgrade to something more professional... I've used an SLR before but not that much and a long time ago now, so class me as a n00b. I'm also expecting my first baby in a couple of weeks (yep, I'm one of those) so want to get the best image quality as possible for my buck.
I'll be using it in and outside. I imagine I'll most likely be taking shots of the new arrival at first, but hope to use it for other projects, buying different lenses when needed to improve my photography skills.
I've £550 to spend (with a little wriggle room) on the body and lens.
Thanks so much for your help!

If you're being charged with the crime of drinking and driving (DUI or DWAI) in the state of Colorado, it's important to work with an experienced criminal defense attorney to help you build the best possible defense for your case. Driving while intoxicated is a serious crime that includes repercussions financially, professionally and personally.
Fines, court appearances, victim restitution, community service, substance abuse classes, potential incarceration and a permanent record are some of the variables you'll face if you've been accused of driving under the influence.
Choosing an experienced Denver DUI lawyer with a successful track record of defending others in situations like yours will give you the best chance of minimizing the penalties your facing.
Do You Know Your Legal Rights?
As you might expect, many people are not fully aware of their legal rights when being charged with a criminal offense, making the assistance of an experienced Denver DUI lawyer vital. If you're being charged with a "driving while intoxicated" offense, everyone from the police to the prosecutors are doing whatever they can to secure a conviction on your case, even if they didn't have all the necessary evidence for the crime when you were arrested.
This is where we come in.
Working With an Experienced Denver DUI Lawyer
At the Law Firm of Jeremy Rosenthal, our aggressive and experienced criminal defense attorneys will take the time to review every detail of your case looking for any abuse or injustice that might have occurred.
TIPS FROM OUR DUI ATTORNEYS: We recommend that you record any details that you remember from your arrest while they are still fresh in your mind so that you can share the event as accurately as possible during your initial consultation.
This record of events as you experienced them can greatly assist the process of defending you.
If retained as your defense team, our DUI lawyers will immediately begin defending your rights and freedoms through all available legal channels. Variables like witness testimonials, roadway conditions, other drivers' behavior and the way you were processed for the offense will be scrutinized while building your defense.
Any error or mistake that was made will be discovered and if found, may be the key to lighter sentencing or potentially having the entire case thrown out.
Fighting for Your Rights
Attorney Rosenthal has defended well over 1,000 people accused of DUI offenses in the Colorado courts. This experience with the applicable state laws, the penalties assessed and the personalities within the various Colorado court systems means he knows how to make a case for reduced penalties including possible alternatives to incarceration.
If a plea is the best alternative because the state's case is strong, he can work with the District Attorney to provide the best arrangement possible for your needs. If a trial is the best chance for a favorable outcome, Jeremy Rosenthal's recognition as a top trial lawyer in Colorado will bring you confidence that justice will ultimately be served.
Why Take Chances With Your Freedom?
Building your case with the assistance of a DUI lawyer means you'll be completely aware of the circumstances you're facing, the penalties that may (or may not) be assessed as well as the strategies used to build your defense.
Without the assistance of an experienced DUI lawyer, you'll be leaving your freedom in the hands of the Colorado court system. The DA's office and judge will determine, in whatever way they see fit, whether or not to apply jail time and for how long, if alcohol treatment is applicable, the number of community service hours to include, the appropriate fines and penalties to apply as well as the length of any probationary monitoring you'll undergo.
Which path sounds most likely to work out in your favor?
Get Legal Help Now If You Face Criminal Charges in Colorado
Standing as the accused in a criminal courtroom is stressful for anyone. With a seasoned criminal defense attorney at your side, you'll enter court prepared to fight for your freedom rather than just accepting whatever the courts deem as fair treatment.
If you're being charged with driving under the influence you really should consult with a criminal defense attorney who knows Colorado DUI laws as soon as possible. Don't take a chance with your future! Contact us today and let us help.

FORT MEADE, Md. - A pretrial hearing for an Army private accused of leaking a trove of classified materials has been postponed because of Hurricane Sandy.
Pfc. Bradley Manning had been scheduled to appear this week in a military courtroom in Fort Meade, Md., for a motions hearing.
But the military says the hearing has now been moved to November 7-8 because of the expected damage and problems caused by the storm.
Manning is charged with aiding the enemy, an offense punishable by life in prison, for allegedly sending hundreds of thousands of classified war logs and diplomatic cables to WikiLeaks while serving as an intelligence analyst in Iraq.

U.S.: Grounding of Shell drilling platform highlights dangers of Arctic Oil Drilling
Shell has plans for drilling several exploratory wells in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas area off the north coast of Alaska. The grounding of the Kulluk circular oil drilling ship on Sitkalidak Island while being towed in heavy seas must call into question whether safety measures by Shell and Coast Guard response capabilities are adequate to allow Arctic drilling to proceed.It now seems that Shell risked moving drill ship in storm to avoid paying millions in taxes, and their weather judgement to move the rig is questionable. Shell and the US Coast Guard have started salvage operations on the stranded drilling rig.
Initial approval for oil drilling by Shell Oil was given by the Obama administration in August 2012 despite opposition by numerous conservation groups and a petition of over a million US citizens. To preserve a safe climate based upon the simple climate maths of how much fossil fuels we can afford to burn, we need to Go Fossil Free through divestment, start taxing carbon and leave the oil reserves beneath the Arctic alone.

Background: ClimateIMC July 2011 - Smears on integrity of Polar wildlife scientist a prelude to Arctic Oil Drilling | London Indymedia Sept 2012 - Activists 'brick up' Shell HQ as the Arctic melts | Indymedia Ireland Sept 2012 - 1,600 billion - Massive scale of oil giveaway revealed in Shell to Sea report | Sourcewatch on Shell
"In a demonstration of the power of Alaska's fierce weather and seas, tugboats were unable to prevent Shell's massive, $290 million Beaufort Sea drilling rig from grounding near Kodiak Island at approximately 9 pm Alaska time on December 31, 2012. Fortunately, with extensive U.S. Coast Guard involvement, there was no loss of life." said Lois N. Epstein, P.E., engineer and Arctic Program Director for The Wilderness Society and member, DOI Ocean Energy Safety Advisory Committee
"The implications of this very troubling incident are clear – Shell and its contractors are no match for Alaska's weather and sea conditions either during drilling operations or during transit. Shell's costly drilling experiment in the Arctic Ocean needs to be stopped by the federal government or by Shell itself given the unacceptably high risks it poses to both humans and the environment." said Epstein.
Responding to the news that Shell's Arctic drilling rig Kulluk had run aground off Kodiak Island in Alaska, Greenpeace campaigner Ben Ayliffe said in a Greenpeace media release:
"The grounding of Shell's Arctic rig, which contains tens of thousands of gallons of fuel oil, is yet another example of how utterly incapable this company is of operating safely in one of the planet's most remote and extreme environments."
"Shell has lurched from one Arctic disaster to the next, displaying staggering ineptitude every step of the way. Were the pristine environment of the frozen north not at risk of an oil spill it would be almost comical. Instead it's tragic. We're moving closer to a major catastrophe in the Arctic and the US government appears unwilling to provide either the needed oversight or emergency backup the company's incompetence requires."
Ayliffe added: "Rather than opening up the high north to oil firms we need to keep this fragile place off-limits to reckless industrialisation. Greenpeace and the millions of people who have joined us to save the Arctic will be keeping a very close eye on developments in Kodiak."
Other environmental groups have also criticised the expansion of Arctic drilling permits and operations. The approval for oil drilling by Shell by the Obama administration in August 2012 were criticised by the Centre for Bioloogical Diversity as a monumental mistake.
"By opening the Arctic to offshore oil drilling, President Obama has made a monumental mistake that puts human life, wildlife and the environment in terrible danger. The harsh and frozen conditions of the Arctic make drilling risky, and an oil spill would be impossible to clean up," said Rebecca Noblin, Alaska director at the Center for Biological Diversity. "Scariest of all, the Obama administration is allowing Shell to go forward without even having the promised oil-spill containment equipment in place."
More than 1 million people sent President Obama messages asking him to save the Arctic from drilling. "Pursuing fossil fuels in the remote Arctic will destroy the life there, even as it speeds up the climate change that's already destroying the polar bears' home and poses enormous risks to people, too," Noblin said.
On the grounding of the Kulluk the Centre said in a media release: "This latest mishap is another painful reminder that Arctic drilling is simply not safe," said Deirdre McDonnell, a senior attorney at the Center for Biological Diversity said.
"It boggles the mind that the Obama administration approved Shell's drilling plans for the Arctic Ocean when it's so clear that harsh environment is just too dangerous for drilling. The storm that sent the Kulluk adrift isn't unusual in Alaska. An oil spill in the Arctic would be devastating to wildlife and would risk human lives. It's a recipe for disaster. I hope the president will come to his senses and save the Arctic from oil drilling," said McDonnell.

Greenpeace are running a campaign to make the Arctic a sanctuary, rather than opening up the high north to oil firms. They want to keep the fragile ecosystems of the Arctic off-limits to reckless industrialisation. You can join to help Save The Arctic! Alternatively visit the Arctic Oil Development campaign page for the Center for Biological Diversity for background information.
Update 6 Jan 2013:
Professor Clifford F. Mass, Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle, has called into question the judgement of towing the Kulluk to Seattle given the frequent storms in the Gulf of Alaska at this time of year. "Shell Oil made a misguided and poorly informed decision to move a huge drilling platform (the Kulluk) from Dutch Harbor Alaska to Seattle starting December 21st." he says on his latest blog entry.
"Anyone familiar with the meteorology of the North Pacific and the Gulf of Alaska knows that this region is one of the stormiest on the planet with one major storm after another during midwinter. Unbelievably, a Shell Oil spokesman said, that forecasts indicated a favorable two-week weather window. This is at odds with the facts."
"First, as I will show below the forecasts on the day they left clearly suggested the potential for big storms during the 3-4 week voyage to Seattle, including the first week. Second, forecast skill drops substantially after 4-6 days and thus there was no guarantee of fair weather for this difficult tow."
Mass then proceeds to show the weather charts for the region as the drama unfolded. He demonstrates that the decision to move such a rig based on the known weather showed gross incompetence and perhaps negligence on behalf of Shell Corporation and it's contractors.

Take a look at MPC's beautiful VFX for two new Mercedes-Benz spots and it's clear that this studio likes to ride in style. MPC teamed up with Anonymous Content Director Frederic Planchon and Merkley + Partners GCDs David Fox and Scott Zacaroli on the efforts, which promote the E-Class and SL-Class vehicles.
Patents is an integrated CG spectacle featuring a comet-like tail of patents swarming behind an E-Class sedan as it storms through city, country and twisting seaside and mountain roads, paying homage to the more than 80,000 Mercedes-Benz patents at work in the new luxury machine.
In order to ensure delivery of a large number of shots in a short turnaround, MPC did extensive pre-shoot R&D, working closely with Planchon and the agency creatives. The CG team developed a mix of strategies involving particle animation and a good deal of individually animated papers to deliver the creative vision, work that paid off as the number of shots increased and the timeline shrunk.
"We always strive to deliver high-quality results regardless of challenges that evolve over the course of a project," noted MPC LA MD Andrew Bell. "With Patents, our team delivered top-notch work in just nine days and in time for the Oscars, one of the biggest television events of the year."
Art is a historical tour through the SL-Class, showcasing the model's many iterations against a backdrop of an ever-changing Los Angeles from the 1940s to present. MPC swept Planchon's footage, removing or replacing signage and architecture to make sure everything was era specific, then added subtle details, including a 1960s-era motel and crowd duplication and structural features at a race track. MPC London Colorist Jean-Clement Soret, whose relationship with Planchon goes back more than a decade, took the director's Red Epic footage and bathed it in a filmic style evoking these bygone eras.
"Anonymous did a fantastic job prepping their locations around LA to capture the architecture, automobiles, dress and characters of each era," noted Bell. "Their careful work made our post and clean-up processes that much easier, especially on the Telecine, as setting a cinematic and period-specific grade for each of the decades was pivotal in creating the spot's feel."

What a pleasure it is these days to work with a business who is knowledgeable and goes above and beyond the call to make a customer feel satisfied and happy. I'm in my 70's and had never had the need to rent a storage locker before....it was all new to me, but both Jayme and Connie made me feel comfortable, assuring me my personal belonging would be fine and safe. Knowing I could call on them at any time if the need arises, was also very re-assuring. Thank you for taking the time to put my mind at ease.Laura from Greenwell Springs, LA
