Meek Mill Biography
Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meek_Mill
Robert Williams (born May 6, 1987[1]) , better known by his stage name Meek Mill, is an American hip hop recording artist from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He was briefly signed to Atlanta rapper T.I.'s label Grand Hustle Records and in February 2011 signed to Miami-based rapper Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group. He released his debut album Dreams and Nightmares in 2012 and it debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200. Career beginnings with The Bloodhoundz
Meek Mill, along with three of his friends formed a rap group called "The Bloodhoundz". The group lasted long enough to release four mixtapes.[2]
2008-2010: Mixtapes and Grand Hustle
In 2008, Meek Mill released his fourth mixtape, Flamers 2: Hottest in tha City, which spawned promotional singles, "I'm So Fly," "Prolli," and "Hottest in the City." Upon release of Flamerz 2, it caught the attention of Charlie Mack, founder and President of 215Aphillyated Records. Mack was so immediately impressed with Mill, that he signed him to his management company. During that same year, Meek Mill also met the founder and owner of Grand Hustle Records, T.I.. The Atlanta-based rapper was also so impressed by Mill's lyrical ability that he offered him an opportunity to travel to Los Angeles, to meet with him along with Warner Bros. Records; within one week both record companies offered him a deal. Although he was offered other record deals, Mill felt collaborating with T.I. was an opportunity of a lifetime and chose his label. Just when things were starting to look up for Mill, a record deal and the chance to work with T>I., a set back occurred. He was arrested, charged with a crime and order to serve seven months in jail. Mill was then released during the early portion of 2009.[2] Due to label boss T.I.'s and Mill's respective legal troubles, Mill was never able to release an album under Grand Hustle and they parted ways in 2010.[3]
2011-present: MMG, Dreamchasers series and Dreams & Nightmares
In February 2011, Rick Ross announced the signing of Mill and fellow American rapper Wale to his Maybach Music Group (MMG) label. In March 2011, Mill was included in XXL's "Freshman Class of 2011".[4] Later that year, he released his debut single, "Tupac Back", featuring Rick Ross, from his label's compilation album Self Made Vol. 1 (2011). That same year he released his second single, "Ima Boss", also take from the compilation and featuring Ross. The song was later remixed, featuring T.I., Birdman, Lil Wayne, DJ Khaled, Swizz Beatz and Rick Ross. The remix charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked at #51, becoming Mill's most successful single at that time. In August 2011, Mill released Dreamchasers a well received mixtape featuring his urban hit "House Party" and appearances from Rick Ross, Yo Gotti, Beanie Siegel and more.
In February 2012, MTV listed Meek Mill as the "#7 hottest MC" in their annual "Hottest MCs in the Game" list.[5] On May 7, 2012 Mill released the second installment to his Dreamchasers series. The mixtape features guest appearances from Drake, Jeremih, Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, 2 Chainz and more.[6] Mill has stated his favorite tracks off the tape are "Amen," "A1 Everything" and "Racked Up Shawty" with French Montana and Fabolous.[7] Within six hours of its release on mixtape website DatPiff.com, Dreamchasers 2 was downloaded 1.5 million times.[8] On May 10, it was announced Meek Mill signed with Roc Nation management.[7]
On June 19, 2012, "Amen" - originally included on Dreamchasers 2, was released as the lead single from Mill's debut studio album. Before releasing his debut studio album Dreams & Nightmares, Mill received co-signs from both Mariah Carey and Nas, with him appearing on Carey's 2012 single "Triumphant (Get 'Em)" and the latter stating, "I got my eyes on him. He's the next one to take this shit over." The album was released on October 30, 2012.[9] Following an album release party in Philadelphia, Mill was detained by Philadelphia police after a car in which he was riding in was pulled over. No charges were filed, and Mill was released from custody.[10] The album debuted at number 2 on the US Billboard 200 chart with first-week sales of 165,000 copies.[11] In its second week the album sold 41,000 more copies dropping 6 spots on the chart to number 8.[12]
Mill is planning to release a third installment of the Dreamchasers series, Dreamchasers 3.[13] The mixtape is scheduled to be released on May 6, 2013.[14] The mixtape will feature 16 tracks and guest appearances from Future, Waka Flocka Flame, Trina and Jadakiss among others. Controversy
Five days later, following the release of the lead single for Dreams & Nightmares, entitled "Amen", Philadelphia area pastor Rev. Jomo K. Johnson called for a boycott of Mill due to the lyrical content of "Amen". In a statement, he said that, "As a hip-hop fan, I want to encourage every rap fan in Philadelphia who is a believer in Jesus Christ, to boycott Meek Mill until he acknowledges this blatant disrespect. And being resident of North Philadelphia and pastor, I revoke Meek's 'hood pass' until this happens."[17] On July 17, in an interview on the BET show 106 & Park, Mill stated, "I don't think no preacher or no church approves of any type of rap music — because rap music, period, is a lot of bad stuff said. But at the end of the day, it's real life. And me, I wasn't trying to disrespect no religion or anything like that."

On October 30, 2013, Linn Energy, LLC (the "Company") entered into the First Amendment to Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of October 30, 2013 (the "First Amendment") among the Company, the subsidiaries of the Company guarantors thereunder, each of the lenders listed on Annex II thereto (the "Term Lenders), each of the other lenders party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent (the "Administrative Agent"), which amends that certain Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of April 24, 2013 (as amended, the "Credit Agreement") among the Company, the lenders from time to time party thereto and the Administrative Agent. Pursuant to the First Amendment, the Company obtained a $500 million senior secured term loan (the "Term Loan") under the Credit Agreement from the Term Lenders. The Term Loan has a maturity date of April 6, 2018, consistent with the maturity of the revolving loans under Credit Agreement, and bears interest based on either London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin of 2.50% per annum or the alternate base rate ("ABR") plus a margin of 1.50% per annum, at the company's election.

The Term Loan may be prepaid at the option of the Company, without premium or penalty, subject to breakage costs.
While the Term Loan is outstanding, the Company is required to maintain either:
1) mortgages on properties representing at least 80% of the total value of oil and natural gas properties included on the most recent reserve report, or 2) a Term Loan Collateral Coverage Ratio of at least 2.5 to 1. The Term Loan Collateral Coverage Ratio is defined as the ratio of the present value of future cash flows from proved reserves from the currently mortgaged properties to the lesser of: (i) the then-effective borrowing base and (ii) the maximum commitment amount and the aggregate amount of the Term Loan outstanding.
The other terms and conditions of the Credit Agreement, including the financial and other restrictive covenants set forth therein, are applicable to the Term Loan.

Lake Estes Drive-In
1700 Big Thompson Avenue,
Estes Park,
1 person favorited this theater
The Lake Estes Drive-In was located on the northeast corner of Lake Estes and opened in 1954. It was operated by Shanks & Teuscher. It operated until 1990 when a fire in the concession stand as well as low attendance caused this theater to close.
At the time it was owned and operated by long time theater operaters, Richard "Mickey" and Ola Stanger (now deceased) from 1965 and the land is still owned by their heirs. The Stangers also owned the Park Theater (indoor) in downtown Estes Park which, like the drive in, operates May thru September. This theater is still in operation and in the Stanger family. The screen, marquee and speaker poles were demolished in 1999 when the Lake Shore Lodge was constructed on the south east corner of the drive in property.
The concession/projection/management housing building still stands (still equipped with two Ballantyne carbon arc projectors) as well as the ticket booth. The ramps have pretty much eroded away. There are plans to demolish these remaining buildings but nothing is set in stone at the moment. The screen was not demolished, but moved and re-used at the Mesa Drive-In, the same thing that was done with the screen from the defunct Pines Drive-In in Loveland, Colorado turning the Mesa into a triplex.

text: Honestly, Obama's Lying by Robert J. Avrech 12 May 2009 post a comment Share This: Carrie Prejean, Miss California "So, what do you make of this whole Miss California thing?" "Buncha hysterical queens." I'm having lunch with a well known film producer, a lever-pulling Democrat. We've known each other for over 20-years and in spite of our political differences we are close friends. My buddy has a cutting edge sense of humor that verges on the cynical, but I can always count on him for a dose of unvarnished truth. "I'm not talking about the lunatics, or the frontal attack on Prejean. I'm talking about the disconnect, I mean these are all people who support Obama, right?" "Definitely." "But Obama's on record as being against same sex marriage because he's a Christian." The producer motions to the waitress, orders a Perrier. As she goes to fetch his order, he fixes his eyes on her swaying hips. "Cute. I love waitresses. They're all out of work actresses. Totally desperate." "She's old enough to be your daughter." "I'm deprived." "Depraved." "Hey, we're all not married to Karen. Speaking of which, when do I get to come over for another Sabbath meal. Karen's food is like..." "Shavuos, okay?" "Which one is that?" "When G-d gave us the Torah." "Heston on the mountain. Maybe you should do a remake." "Pass-adena." "Anyways: some of us were married to f*****g Lady Macbeth." I dig into lunch as my friend launches into a feverish monologue detailing his ex's endless flaws and unforgivable sins. I have heard this maybe a dozen times and with each telling the former Mrs. gets worse and worse. It must be exhausting to feel contempt for someone you once loved. The waitress returns with a cold bottle of Perrier and my friend smoothly draws her into conversation. Oh, wait, it's called flirting. The waitress is obviously an experienced hand with frisky producers. She manages to charm my buddy, let him know that yes, she's an actress, but no, she's not going to have a drink with him to, ahem, discuss her career because: "The boyfriend would definitely object." My friend goes: "Don't tell him." Waitress chuckles like Gloria Grahame in The Bad and the Beautiful: "Naughty you." And she's off to the next table, the next predatory executive. "Awesome," my friend sighs. Miss America contestants, 1921. I'm pretty sure there were no questions about gay marriage at this pageant. "Obama. Gay marriage?" "Robert, don't be so naive. We all know Obama's lying through his teeth." "About gay marriage?" "That and being," he claws quote marks in the air, "a good Christian. Listen, Obama's a Christian like I'm a Hasid." I am floored. "You're saying that Democrats assume Obama is lying for political expediency?" "To get elected, sure. Hey, welcome to the real world." I take a deep breath. "So Cary Prejean is a big fat target—" "Not fat, my friend, did you see that slamming body?" "Okay, so she's a slamming beautiful target because she's a genuine Christian and sincerely opposes gay marriage whereas Obama gets a pass because, you assume, he's a liar and an opportunist." "You got it." "This is okay with you?" "He got elected didn't he, not like your self-destructive McCain." No argument. I'm like: "It's not right." My friend goes: "Hey, you should be used to it, you know the old Hollywood story." "What's that?" My friend quotes the shortest, truest Hollywood joke on record: "Good morning, he lied."

Towards the Creation of a Standardized HRTF Repository
One of the main spatial audio topics, nowadays, involves working towards an efficient individualization method of Head Related Transfer Functions. A major limitation in this area of research is the lack of a large and uniform database that will incorporate as many individualized properties as possible. This paper presents the MARL-NYU file format for storing HRTF datasets, and investigates the necessary normalization steps that assure a uniform and standardized HRTF repository, by compiling selected datasets from four HRTF databases.

Our Victories
Since 2001, Oceana has achieved dozens of concrete policy victories for marine life and habitats. From stopping bottom trawling in sensitive habitat areas to protecting sea turtles from commercial fishing gear, our victories represent a new hope for the world's oceans.
The Department of the Interior postponed a decision on whether to allow seismic airgun use in 300,000 square miles of ocean off the Atlantic coast. This is the third time Oceana has successfully helped delay the decision. The government's estimates predict that seismic testing would disrupt critical behaviors like feeding, calving, and breeding for many marine creatures, including dolphins, whales, and loggerhead sea turtles. At least 138,500 dolphins and whales will be injured, or possibly killed, if airguns are allowed in the mid-Atlantic. Coastal fisheries in seven states would also be impacted, as airguns can lower catch rates between 40 and 80 percent.
The National Marine Fisheries Service took a major step toward protecting sperm whales by declining to issue a required marine mammal take permit for California's swordfish drift gillnet fishery. Last month the government issued a draft permit for the fishery to kill and seriously injure endangered sperm, fin, and humpback whales. More than 13,000 comments were submitted in opposition to the permit, prompting the NMFS to reverse course. This fishery catches and discards more than 100 protected whales, dolphins, seals, and sea lions on average each year, as well as thousands of sharks and other non-target fish.Read Press Release
The Spanish government issued a protection order to prohibit trawling on the summits of Mallorca Channel seamounts and in the coral reef east of Cabrera. Oceana fought for the protection of these beds for seven years. Until now these unique habitats, including coralligenous communities and rhodolites beds, were continuously subject to degradation because of illegal fishing.
On July 23, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld necessary protections for the endangered western population of Steller sea lions. The measures were put in place by the National Marine Fisheries Service in 2010 to reduce competition between large-scale commercial fisheries and endangered Steller sea lions. This population of sea lions has declined by more than 80 percent, and sharp declines continue in places with limited protection, like western Aleutian Islands. Oceana and Greenpeace, represented by Earthjustice, joined the federal government in successfully defending the regulations against legal attacks from the Seattle-based fishing industry and Alaskan state government. This victory will help ensure the recovery of this species and the continued health of our ocean's ecosystems.Read Press Release
As of 6 July, 2013, all sharks caught in European waters or by European vessels will have to be landed with their fins still naturally attached. Celebrating the arrival of the long-awaited, strict EU ban on shark finning, Oceana welcomes the new EU regulation's entry into effect, on Saturday. It ends nearly a decade of battle to close several enforcement loopholes that had weakened the previous EU policy. In particular, an exemption used only by Spain and Portugal had allowed some vessels to remove shark fins at sea, which made it extremely difficult even to detect when finning had occurred. Since the beginning of its work in Europe, Oceana has campaigned for a strict ban on shark finning as one important aspect of improved shark fisheries management in the EU.
"At long last, the EU has a real and enforceable ban on shark finning, with global implications," commented Xavier Pastor, executive director of Oceana in Europe. "The EU catches more sharks than any country in the world, and plays a key role in regional fisheries management organisations where finning remains an acknowledged problem. After ten years with a flawed ban in place, it can now make a serious effort to tackle the issue internationally."
With Governor Andrew Cuomo's signature on July 26, New York became the eighth state to ban the shark fin trade in the United States. Shark finning is a brutal practice: Fishermen haul live sharks onto boats where their fins are sliced off, and the sharks are then thrown back into the water, alive, to drown or bleed to death. Current reports estimate that over one hundred million sharks are killed every year, most only for their fins, which are often used in shark fin soup. Taking effect July 1, 2014, the law bans the possession, sale, trade and distribution of shark fins. Violations are punishable by up to 15 days in jail and $100 fine for each fish.
With his signature, Governor Cuomo closes a major market for shark fins, both as consumers and as a trading hub: New York City has been one of the largest markets for fins outside of Asia, and is the largest port-of-entry on the East Coast. Together with Illinois, California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Delaware, and Maryland, New York has effectively closed the majority of the U.S. market for shark fin soup. Beth Lowell, Oceana Campaign Director said, "New York said 'no' to shark fins today. The widespread support for this ban shows that sharks are worth more in the oceans than in a bowl of soup. By reducing the demand for their fins in New York, we can help to protect sharks worldwide."
The bottom trawl fisheries in the Gulf of Alaska will now have to avoid catching Chinook salmon as bycatch or risk closing their fisheries. A new rule, recommended by the North Pacific Fishery Management Council, establishes a limit on the number of Chinook salmon that can be killed as bycatch each year in the Central and Western Gulf of Alaska bottom trawl fisheries. If trawlers targeting rockfish, cod, and flatfish catch more than 7,500 Chinook salmon as bycatch they will have to stop fishing for the season. The rule also requires that all Chinook salmon caught by bottom trawlers be delivered to a processing facility, where observers will count the number of salmon and collect scientific data or biological samples.Read Press Release
On May 20, Washington State Governor Jay Inslee signed into law House Bill 1200, which tackles seafood fraud in the state. Oceana's recent seafood fraud testing found that 18 percent of fish sampled and sold in Seattle were mislabeled. More than 90 percent of the seafood consumed in the U.S. is imported, but less than 1 percent of it is ever inspected by the government specifically for fraud. Washington's new bill will combat seafood fraud by requiring that fish and shellfish be labeled by their common names, especially cracking down on mislabeling species of halibut and salmon.Read Press Release
Belize's Supreme Court declared offshore drilling contracts issued by the government of Belize null and void, effectively ending the government's immediate effort to allow offshore oil drilling in the Mesoamerican Reef, the second largest barrier reef in the world. Oceana has campaigned against offshore drilling in Belize for more than two years.
The Court's decision was in response to a lawsuit brought by Oceana, COLA, and the Belize Coalition to Save Our Natural Heritage. In 2011, after collecting the 20,000+ signatures required to trigger a national referendum that would allow the public to vote on whether or not to allow offshore oil drilling in Belize's reef, the government disqualified over 8,000 of these signatures effectively on the basis of poor penmanship - stopping the possibility of a vote. Oceana answered by organizing the nation's first ever "People's Referendum" in 2012 in which more than 29,000 people from all around the country cast their votes. In this historic vote, 96% voted against offshore exploration and drilling.Read Press Release
Oceana, the largest international advocacy group working solely to protect the world's oceans, applauds United States Representative Edward Markey (D-MA) today for introducing the Safety and Fraud Enforcement for Seafood (SAFE Seafood) Actto address the growing problem of seafood fraud, which can come in many different forms – from mislabeling fish and falsifying documents, to adding too much ice to packaging. If passed, this bill would help stop seafood fraud by requiring full traceability of all seafood sold in the U.S., from boat to plate.
This legislation follows the release of a new Oceana study, which found that one-third, or 33 percent, of the 1,215 fish samples it collected from 674 retail outlets in 21 states were mislabeled, according to U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) guidelines. Rep. Markey was joined in the legislation by original co-sponsors Walter Jones (R-NC), John Tierney (D-MA), Bill Keating (D-MA), Lois Capps (D-CA) and Jo Bonner (R-AL).

Tonight is National Night Out
Press release from Sheriff Tony Lippa:
Caroline County, Virginia – Sheriff A.A. "Tony" Lippa, Jr. is asking everyone to join us in celebrating NATIONAL NIGHT OUT on August 7, 2012. Please mark your calendar and plan to join Sheriff Lippa and his staff at one of the five event locations in Caroline County – Bowling Green (at the Town's new playground), Belmont subdivision (at the community playground), the Pavilion in Lake Land'Or (Land'Or side), Lake Caroline Clubhouse, and at the Ladysmith Village Residents Club. "I'd like to invite all our residents to join us in a cookout for the community," Lippa said.
"Please stop by for food and drinks. Kids of all ages can come see the fun things inside of a police car, ambulance, and a fire truck". The festivities begin at 5:30pm and will continue until 8:00 pm. Make sure you bring your whole family to assist us in promoting a safer community".
National Night Out is a nationwide crime and drug prevention
awareness program that provides a unique opportunity for Caroline County to join forces with thousands of other communities across the country in promoting cooperation with police and community crime prevention efforts. The nationwide event is coordinated by the National Association of Town Watch, and is sponsored each year by Target stores and the U.S. Department of Justice Bureau. Over 37 million people from over 15,000 communities participated in National Night Out in 2011.
If you would like your community to participate in next year's National Night Out, please contact Lieutenant Darrell Beazley at (804) 633-1132 for more information.
"Last year, several hundred residents and their families came out to participate in National Night Out. We hope to see even more this year," remarked Sheriff Lippa. He continued, "Knowing your neighbors better has been shown to be a very effective crime deterrent."

Originally written on Fox Sports Florida | Last updated 11/9/14
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Washington Wizards can't beat many teams, but they beat the best: LeBron James and the Miami Heat. Perhaps inspired by the courtside presence of Redskins rookie quarterback Robert Griffin III, the Wizards doubled their victory total this season with a 105-101 win over the Heat on Tuesday night, despite James' triple-double of 26 points, 13 rebounds and 11 assists. Jordan Crawford led Washington with 22 points, including three free throws in the final 11 seconds, while James missed a potentially tying 3-pointer with 3.9 to go. While the reigning NBA champion Heat's six-game winning streak ended, and they fell to 12-4, the Wizards improved to 2-13. They started the season 0-12, but have won two of their last three games. The Wizards have won three consecutive regular-season games against the Heat, including two last season in April. On Tuesday, with a crowd of 17,761 -- not, incidentally, a sellout -- standing and screaming down the stretch, rel...

"A Guidebook for Sustainability Performance Measurement for Transportation Agencies," created by Texas Transportation Institute (TTI) researchers and published by the Transportation Research Board (TRB), offers state departments of transportation and other transportation agencies a series of practical, easy-to-use tools to continuously integrate sustainability into current agency performance measurement programs. The guidebook is now available from the TRB website, www.trb.org/Main/Blurbs/166313.aspx.Performance measurement has evolved over the decades into an effective way to quantify goals and objectives and to communicate progress toward meeting these goals. But developing these measures is often complicated.
"This guidebook should be of immediate use to those who are familiar with their own agency's performance measurement program but need to provide useful information to agency leadership on how effectively their organization is meeting sustainability goals," said Lori L. Sundstrom, a senior program officer with TRB.The guidebook incorporates real-world examples from departments of transportation (DOTs) and private industry in both the U.S. and Europe.
Sustainability is discussed in the context of many primary DOT goals such as safety, reducing congestion, preserving system assets, enhancing economic opportunity and improving air quality.

The Anderson Power Pipe®, with its all 4" mandrel bent Ceramic coated inside and out construction, is the highest flowing inlet pipe available for centrifugal superchargers.
We also put the mass air in the inner fenderwell for a cooler intake charge.
Flows 1247 cfm at 20,4" of water. Tested on our Super Flow 1200 flow bench.
Anderson POWER PIPES® were developed because of the need for a supercharger intake pipe that would flow at a higher rate of CFM, with a larger volume of air, brought on by the demand that Vortech, Procharger and Paxton have when making 10 lb of boost or more. Performance improvements with this innovative design have been fantastic!
The AF-0103C Power Pipe® increased inlet efficiency and HP

As the nights draw in it's time to prepare our homes for the winter chill, sub-zero temperatures, wind and rain.
Storm, flood and escape of water from frozen pipes are the biggest risk to homes in the winter months.
Adequately winter-proofing your home will make sure you aren't left counting the cost and can also have the added benefit of reducing both your fuel bill's and your CO2 emissions.
Prevention is key; most cases are preventable, it's all about locating the problem and fixing it before it's made worse by the ravages of the winter season.
- Pipes – the first step is to check lagging on water pipes and cisterns in unheated areas.
- Stop Tap – make sure you know the location of your stop tap so that you can turn off in an emergency – make sure stop taps are in good working order.
- Dripping Taps – should be repaired,
- Central Heating – get your boiler serviced prior to the onset of winter. If you are going away for the weekend, it's a good idea to leave your central heating on low to prevent pipes freezing.
- Roof Tiles – check for any loose or missing tiles as you don't want any rain coming in.
- Guttering – clear the build up of leaves to prevent rainwater spilling over, check the ends of guttering for blockages. Icicles hanging from guttering in a cold spell are also an indication of where your gutters may be blocked or leaking.
- Creeper plants – these can cause cracks in exterior brickwork which can be exacerbated if moisture gets in and then freezes.
- Tree branches – overhanging branches should be pruned back to avoid potential damage to your property.
- Chimneys – if using a wood burning stove or real fire, remember to get your chimney swept regularly as a blocked chimney is a major fire risk.
- Loft insulation – fitting insulation and draft excluders will not only keep your house warm but also reduce your energy bills.
- Finally, remember to check your building and contents insurance policies are up to date!

The 2011 Keep Carroll Beautiful Environmental Excellence Awards luncheon was recently held to celebrate and show gratitude for the efforts of those in the community who have gone above and beyond to preserve the environment in the past year. Held at the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce, the event honored two local businesses, one organization and one individual who were each nominated by the community.
After an invocation by Rev. Karen Kagiyama, the Campus Minister at the Fish House on UWG's campus, the awards ceremony was accompanied by a buffet-style lunch provided by the Board of Directors of Keep Carroll Beautiful.
Tanner Medical Foundation President Denise Taylor and Tanner Health System President and CEO Loy Howard accept the award. Also pictured are Keep Carroll Beautiful staff Jacqueline Dost and Lauren Moon.
Executive Director Jacqueline Dost presented each award winner with a special plaque to commemorate their achievement. Loy Howard accepted the award on behalf of Tanner Health System, which was chosen for their Tanner Green initiative that includes recycling programs, a local farmer's market, and many other eco-friendly practices. Great Southern Agency LLC also was chosen in the business category for their paperless office and low carbon footprint. Gerard Paulk accepted the award on behalf of Great Southern.
In the organization category, the Earth Lovers Club at Carrollton High School was selected for an award for their efforts to educate and engage high school students in environmentalism and recycling. Club sponsor Kristie Bradford-Hunt accepted the plaque on behalf of the student organization.
Local community volunteer Linda Picklesimer, who was unable to attend the event, was also chosen to receive an award. In the past year, Ms. Picklesimer has dedicated herself to beautifying her neighborhood, has participated in recycling programs, and has been one of Keep Carroll Beautiful's most enthusiastic and loyal volunteers.

Inside F&M is a new Web portal for Franklin & Marshall College's students, faculty and professional staff. It is part of Project BOOST, F&M's Enterprise Resource Planning Project that launched in January 2012 to upgrade software systems managing student and academic information, human resources, finances, and admission.
Launched in December 2012, Inside F&M replaces the College's previous internal Web portal, MyDiplomat.

Inside F&M provides a single point of entry for campus constituencies to numerous resources, including financial information for employees, course information for students and faculty members, email, calendars, news and events. The portal organizes information under a series of tabs titled "My Info," "Academics," "Community," "Campus Services" and "Budget,' with "portlets"—or boxed sections—containing information on each page. Like MyDiplomat, Inside F&M is password-protected and accessible from any computer.

Hot or Not's new mobile app, discussed here:
Ranking website Hot or Not has been reborn as a local dating app. The original version of Hot or Not was pretty racy in it's circa-2001 day. Strangers could upload their digital photos (which were pretty hard to get a decade ago — I remember dropping off rolls of film in the drugstore and then took my photos to a computer lab scanner to email home pictures of my study abroad in 2005.), and let other strangers rate their looks. OkCupid is currently using a similar mechanic to allow users to thumbs up or thumbs down potential matches, based on looks alone.
The new mobile app for HotorNot offers the same photo rating but adds a dating component for actually meeting the users you've rated as hot. Users can find attractive people nearby, or find friends of friends. It's interesting that dating app OKCupid added the rating component, while rating app HotorNot has added dating, flirting and meeting.
The relaunched HotorNot mobile app is now climbing the app store, reaching 13 for free apps, which is above Facebook. (For anyone saying that Facebook is finished, or that it's all annoying posts from people we'd rather ignore, #13 is also above the insanely popular and profitable Candy Crush Saga, meaning more people want to rate strangers than pop candies. So, yeah, pretty impressive for a dating and flirting app.) Hot or Not is completing with popular dating apps like OKCupid and Tinder, as well as with smaller romance apps, like start-up Datini or Down, the revamp of Bang With Friends. There's an Android version as well, which is #12 on Amazon apps for social networkers.

Use these links to get at the $8.99 prices: season one, season two, season three and season four.

You don't need hit and expertise for threat. You need them so your rage generators land reliably and you can shield block and sheild barrier more. Those are huge parts of your damage reduction since we can no longer block cap.
Edit: Sorry, jumped on that previous point before I even finished reading. As to the meta, it is still the Eternal. As to parry/dodge, it is roughly 3 parry to 1 dodge but it is a highly fluctuating number. There is at least one thread running around here with the graph. Strength is converting at over 90% efficiency to parry so parry is going to be much higher.
Teng has a pretty good guide up. Recommended reading.

President's Notebook
My View from South Hill
Thursday, May 26, 2011
It might have been the perfect Commencement.
Not many businesses would celebrate the end of a four year relationship with a loyal customer. But of course higher education is not just another business. Colleges and universities around the country plan with care to create an exciting and memorable commencement for graduates and their families. We do this partly out of respect for what the graduates have accomplished during their time as students. But, as the word "commencement" implies, we do it even more as a celebration of what is to come. Our graduates are ready to lead successful and fulfilled lives. They are ready to make great contributions to the wider society. This truly is cause for celebration!
I have been to 42 commencements at five different colleges and universities over the last 37 years, including two in which I was part of the graduating class. Based on that considerable fund of experience, I think Ithaca College had the perfect commencement last Sunday.
Part of what made our commencement so great is the campus itself. Thanks to our grounds crews who already this spring have planted 6,000 annual flowers, spread 900 cubic yards of mulch and mowed 48 acres of lawn, the campus was perfectly tended. Our fountains and their views of Cayuga Lake were, as always, the perfect backdrop for thousands of family photos. I managed to wangle my way into several hundred of those photos, including the one posted here of Pam and Andy Russell (both IC class of 1980) and their daughter Lisa (IC class of 2011).
Part of what made our commencement memorable was the fact that it was featured on ABC's World News Tonight, as our alumnus and commencement speaker David Muir '95 returned to the studio and told a national audience about his experience on the IC campus.
What made this commencement truly great, though, was the people involved. At the center of attention: 1,440 graduates receiving bachelors, masters and doctoral degrees. They were joined by approximately 11,000 family and friends, and were cheered on as well by several hundred IC faculty and staff.
Our graduates and other guests were treated to several moments they will remember for the rest of their lives. One such moment was Katie Henly's '11 beautiful rendition of The Star Spangled Banner delivered despite an unruly flag that kept flapping close to her face. Never has there been so much meaning in the line "Oh say does that star bangled banner yet wave?" It most certainly did wave while Katie sang!
Senior class president Danielle Giserman '11 roused the audience with her listing of some of the experiences shared by all IC students. The biggest cheer of the day greeted her mention of Dom Barrett's custom omelets prepared every morning in the Campus Center Dining Hall.
Dorothy Cotton, the civil rights educator who part of Dr. Martin Luther King's leadership team, received an honorary doctor of laws degree. She channeled Dr. King in the inspiring cadences of her speech, in which she told our graduates that the work of creating a just world will not be finished until they lend their talents to the greater good.
David Muir '95 was chosen by the senior class committee to be our commencement speaker. He began by recalling vivid experiences from his days as a student at IC, including the time he burned popcorn in a microwave in Rowland Hall and created so much smoke that the fire trucks came out. He then spoke to his experience as a successful professional in television journalism, mentioning the moment when he realized the importance of unwavering commitment to excellence. Mr. Muir recalled doing the overnight news at ABC and thinking that no one would ever notice his 2 a.m. efforts until he learned that Peter Jennings had seen his work and thought highly of him. Suddenly, our graduates could see the straight path that runs from their work as IC students to success at the pinnacle of their future professional paths.
In different ways and coming from different personal experiences, Ms. Cotton, Mr. Muir and I offered variations on the theme that every graduate has the capacity to make a difference, and that the key to doing so is by finding your own voice. All three of us believe there is no tension between pursuing personal success and fulfillment, and trying to make a positive difference in the world. Those two paths are in reality the same.
Our graduates, ranging from 21 years of age to 86 year old Beryl Anderson, told me after the ceremony that they noticed the convergence in message and that it was one they will always keep close to their hearts. I have a feeling we will be hearing much more from the class of 2011 in the future. In the meantime, we can now begin planning the perfect commencement for the class of 2012!

Review this movie
Aug 17, 2014This one is alright. Robert Redford is very good, Brad Pitt is solid, and the plot is interesting, but beyond that, things struggle. First off, the plot is a little overcomplicated. There is so much going on that it can be hard to follow, even if you are paying attention. In addition to being overly complicated, the plot is 100% implausible. Some elements likely ring true, but the way things turn out and the events leading to the ending are completely implausible and simply not believeable. Speaking of the plot, it is entirely formulaic. I usually do not mind formulaic films, but this one is obnoxiously so. At times, it works and at others, it simply becomes too predictable. In terms of the direction, I am not a huge fan of Tony Scott. His storytelling here is sketchy and then other elements of this one are simply not for me. As with many of his films, he is simply too formulaic of a director and does nothing extraordinarily well. The editing is also bad, which is almost a guarantee in a Tony Scott film. In one scene in particular, it just kept cutting from a two-shot to close ups obnoxiously and without need, which was very distracting. Bad editing is usually when it is distracting and in many scenes here, it is distracting. Ultimately, however, Spy Game is in fact entertaining and fun to follow. Thanks to great performances and a satisfying ending and premise, this one is just mediocre, rather than a complete and utter disaster.… Expand
Jul 8, 2012Although far from Tony Scott's best work, Spy Game makes for an entertaining movie. It gets too convoluted at times and also stretches it's timeline a bit too thin for any sustained emotional impact. On the plus side, seeing Robert Redford slinking his way around the CIA HQ, covertly giving his superiors the finger is a very amusing prospect indeed. Fun but inessential viewing.
Dec 25, 2011A masterpiece. Redford's performance was outstanding. Redford showed that how strong the nerves can be of a person who is in espionage. Awesome realistic performance from Redford and Pitt supported him well.
Sep 29, 2011Après l'excellent et palpitant Ennemi d'Etat, Tony Scott nous dévoile une autre facette du monde de l'espionnage avec Spy Game. Utilisant sa mise en scène habituel qui se rapproche d'un clip (qui est le point faible du film), le frère de Ridley nous livre, certes un film conventionnel, mais qui possède tout ce qui faut pour être un très bon divertissement de suspense et d'espionnage, musclé et intelligent, desservi par une brochette d'acteur de qualité. De plus, le scénario se montre ingénieux, nous présentant de nombreux flashes-back qui se montrent être de petites intrigues indépendantes du reste. Plusieurs histoires en une seule, c'est plutôt ingénieux. Enfin bref, Spy Game est un très bon film à rajouter dans la filmographie de Tony Scott!… Expand
Dec 16, 2010Wahoo score! I liked this movie a lot even though not perfect. The flashback to Nam scenes were a little hard to believe even with the attempt to make RR look somewhat younger. Some dialogue was poor.. " Why do you think they keep dumping him" Great story idea though and loved the cat and mouse. RR is back in this one with a role i really liked and Brad P did a nice job. Duncan was cast well as well as the director of CIA. One weak link was the opponent to RR from CIA.. can't remember his name now lol.… Expand
Fans of swooping helicopter shots, alleys filled with backlit geysers of steam, and jump-cut editing that makes MTV look like Ingmar Bergman will relish the intercontinental intrigue and huggermugger that is Spy Game.
The script provides an excellent payoff, although action fans may not agree, because that payoff is the equivalent of a Cheshire cat's grin.

How To Spend Christmas Alone and Happy
I have been down with the flu for the past week and Christmas is just around the corner. I log on to my Facebook account and my friends' walls are filled with excitement over putting on Christmas decorations, buying presents and planning elaborate menus for their Christmas feasts.
You would think that they would inspire me, but no. I am away from my family at a foreign place and the last thing on my mind is celebrating Christmas alone. Believe me, I am more excited at the prospect of purchasing the two-hundred dollar netbook from Walmart this Black Friday.
Do not get me wrong though. I used to love celebrating Christmas. It was the highlight of all holidays in my calendar. Being with family and friends during Christmastime is like being cloaked with the most luxurious fabric in the planet and relishing every moment of it. You cannot help but smile, laugh and of course, be generous in spending. Really.
Christmas without your family and friends is a hard one. It is like listening to love songs when you are brokenhearted and if you are not a masochist, it is utterly painful and lonely.
So, I have thought of some ways to celebrate Christmas with certain bliss. Yes, it can happen. Have faith and scroll down for my list.
1. Go to church for the Christmas mass.
I know some people find this hard to do. If you are alone, the last thing you would want is to drag your face into a place where people with families get together. But try to remember why Christmas was celebrated in the first place and what Mary, Joseph and Jesus had to endure before he was born in the manger that night and you will get the proper perspective.
2. Pamper yourself during Christmas
Try going to a spa and spend the whole afternoon getting massages and the works (foot and hand spa plus facial and hair spa) and return home feeling like a spoiled child. By that time, you would not notice that you are alone in your house at Christmas.
3. Plan online time with your family
With the multitude of VOIP resources out there like Skype, there is no reason to mope around and cry. Plan some online face time with your family during Christmas. Set the schedule and tell your family you will meet them at this precise hour. If you can handle it, you can just ask them to stay online all throughout the day while they are preparing the party, see the mishaps and the hustle and bustle of people coming and going.
There are a lot of ways to celebrate Christmas alone but let us do ourselves a favor and celebrate it with panache and delight. There is no reason to be lonely at Christmas. Let us give ourselves a break, smile and look forward to it!

This seems to be a popular opinion that the primary objective of the on-going redesign of iOS that will culminate in iOS 7 is to get rid of the skeuomorphic illustrations. Many even go on to imply that skeuomorphism is the major problem with iOS today. Though we are yet to see any glimpse of iOS 7, I think the suggestion that skeuomorphism is its bane is nothing but a fallacy.

Fremont County Farm and Ranch Days features educational programs

Sessions are 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day in the Armory Building. Lunches both days are free.
"We have a great variety of educational programs that should be of interest to farmers, ranchers, husbands and wives, small-acreage owners and hired hands who work on farms and ranches," said Ron Cunningham, University of Wyoming Extension educator based in Fremont County. "The broad range of programs will get attendees up-to-speed with the latest and greatest in agriculture."
Steve Nalley, master brewer with Wyoming Whiskey, will discuss Wyoming Whiskey marketing during lunch Jan. 30. State Veterinarian Jim Logan is the Jan. 31 lunch speaker.
Sessions include recycling baler twine, GPS-driven farm/ranch equipment, understanding feed test reports, continuing gardening with limitations, new gas/diesel storage rules, harvesting and processing products from home beehives and post-drought or continuing drought management decisions for livestock producers.
"There will also be 30 to 40 vendors on hand to show off their new products and supplies," said Cunningham.
Private pesticide applicator training class is all day Jan. 31 presented by Cunningham and Lars Baker from the Fremont County Weed and Pest Control District.
For more information, contact Cunningham at 307-332-2363 or email him at email@example.com.

Rev. Samuel Johnson Lindamood, Jr. (died 1997) compiled this volume of excerpts from his favorite books, along with fifty original meditations. Each meditation is grouped with a selection of readings and bible passages into fifty themed days. He originally titled the creation "Germs" (in the sense of germinal ideas) and intended it as a Lenten manual of discipline. I have shortened and edited the book, working with co-editor Benjamin Wildman, and with the support of Gay Lane, an old friend of Sam's. Now re-titled to make it more accessible, this moving testimony to Sam's wonderful mind has achieved publishable form and is in search of a publishing house willing to put it into print. Each day is beautifully illustrated with photographs that match Sam's serious yet whimsical personal style, including some original photographs by Benjamin Wildman.
Distinctive Features
Here is a portion of Sam Lindamood's preface for the volume, including his explanation of the original title.
Lent is one of my favorite times of the year. In a culture which is consumed with consuming it seems like more is never enough. The eyes search for new and exciting sights, the appetite longs for more and varied tastes. A popular song of some years ago said it well: "I can't get no satisfaction."
Lent offers a time to overcome our consumerism, "to give up something" as a discipline; not a popular idea, but an important one. Lent offers a time also of "taking on something," some new and different commitment, perhaps. And, finally, Lent offers a time of meditation and reflection.
So this book—GERMS—is for meditation and reflection during the forty days of Lent, one per day. Perhaps someone "taking it on" will be better able "to give up something" or deepen their commitment. For anyone familiar with Lenten devotional material, it is easy to see why it is unorthodox. Its unorthodoxy, however, is not a cause to be celebrated but a simple statement of fact.
I like the title GERMS because of the Oxford American Dictionary definition: "... a beginning or basis from which something may develop, the germ of an idea." It is from such readings, scriptural and otherwise, that my sermons, talks, and pastoral work have germinated. I am grateful for each one. I would hope that some of my confreres in ministry who are looking for new material, even as I so often was, will find them useful too.
