Character's Name: Edgahr Bitterstien Gudge Bearer of Dal Garaz
Realm: Moon Guard
Level: 80
Age: Around 250
Current Residence: Ironforge!
Short Back Story: Like many Dwarfs Edgahr started life as a soldier. Edgahr learned many forms of combat on the fields of battle. He fought in almost every major battle or skirmish since the war of the Three hammers. It was not until he met young Roea, a young, Hard headed, stubborn girl that he stepped away from his Life as a Military veteran. He now keeps a watchful eye over Roea and all of her Hero's of the Dwarfs as she puts it.
Character's Name: Suraira
Suraira, I'm afraid to tell you that no NE can really be born in Darnassus and have that kind of age. Darnassus was only made a FEW YEARS ago. At best about between 6 or 10 years maybe. A correction is thus necessary.
Anyway, moving on to my own character.
Character's Name: Dungarn Lighthammer (Formal name was Wildhammer), Heavy Infantry of the Mountain Guard, Argent Champion of Ironforge.
Level: 80
Age: Venerable, quite over 330 years, and still kicking!
Current Residence: Ironforge usually, but has a residence somewhere in Loch Modan, and in the Wildhammer domain
Short Back Story:
An old wizened and wearied dwarf, Dungarn was once a Wildhammer warrior that participated in the War of the Three Hammers. Following that war, he stayed with his own clan until one day he left on his own to partially reunite with the Bronzebeards, staying in Loch Modan instead. When the Horde invaded in the Second War, Dungarn took up arms to fight alongside his brethren, taking part even in the siege of Blackrock Spire. There, he was witness to Turalyon's miraculous act of Light, which brought down Doomhammer. Following the end of the Second War, and inspired by that day, Dungarn joined the Order of the Silver Hand, becoming one of the less common dwarven paladins at the time. His area of duty however, was in Khaz Modan, instead of Loraderon, which made him oblivious to the bulk of events in Lordareon when the Scourge came. It also made him oblivious to the unfortunate truth when he recieved word that the Order was disbanded by Arthas, and went into peaceful retirement.
He continued to hear of struggles and conflicts following the Third War, and decided to merely keep a silent ear to all of that. It wasn't until a good time into the conflict against the Lich King that Dungarn finally decided to put away with retirement and take up the hammer and shield once more.
85 Blood Elf Death Knight
Character's Name: Lisenne Kestrel Bloodreaver
AKA: Arienne Kestrel Songblade; Arienne Dawnforge; Arienne Duskwhisper; Esmée Rimewind (during her time with the Scourge).
Level: 80
Age: 126 (young adult) at time of death
Current Residence: Legerdemain Lounge, Dalaran. Formerly Court of the Sun, Silvermoon City. Owns property along the Stormreaver coast, Terokkar Forest.
Short Back Story: The youngest of three children born to minor Silvermoon nobility, Arienne was trained as a priestess of the Holy Light before the sacking of Quel'thalas and was an early member of the Argent Dawn. Later recruited into the Order of Blood Knights, Arienne became second-in-command of a Scryers strike force deployed against both the Coilfang naga and to the Battle For the Eye. Arienne at that time also worked to translate Sunfury orders. Her long and close association with the Forsaken militant Belaris Delenada is a matter of public record; rumors about that Arienne was the architect of her own demise and rebirth as an agent of the Scourge. Freed from the Lich King's control somewhat more recently, the reborn Lisenne has reinvented herself as one of the Horde's shock troopers, deployed more often in battle against the Alliance than any other single foe.
85 Blood Elf Paladin
Character's Name: Valendar Ariston Songblade
Level: 80
Age: 130 (young adult)
Current Residence: Sunreavers garrison, Dalaran. Formerly Court of the Sun, Silvermoon, or more recently Scryers' Tier, Shattrath City.
Short Back Story: The middle child and only son born to minor Silvermoon nobility, Valendar stands after the sacking as the last scion of House Songblade. Trained as a spellbreaker and commissioned as part of Prince Kael'thas' royal guard, Valendar followed his prince into Outland in search of the promised land. Some months after the battalion which would become the Scryers defected from the Sunfury forces, Valendar began passing intelligence on Sunfury movements and reinforcements to the anti-Loyalist forces. Liberated during the Battle for the Eye, Len spent several months in service to the Sha'tar before enlisting with the Sunreaver forces in Northrend. Only recently has he rekindled his relationship with his unliving sister, Lisenne.
85 Blood Elf Hunter
Character's Name: Joceline Thais Silverbough
Level: 69 (at time of post; to be rerolled as warrior with the Shattering)
Age: 73 (late adolescence)
Current Residence: Owns an apartment in Silvermoon City. Is, more often than not, elsewhere.
Short Back Story: An only child raised by her extended family, Joss stands to inherit the Silverbough ranch someday. Her original contact with the Argent Dawn was as a supplier; the Silverboughs were only too happy to provide horses for the newly minted order of knights. She later became camp cook and veterinarian at the outpost which became Light's Hope, and after several years, entered training as a paladin when she was squired to a former knight of the Silver Hand, Sir Althalos Manadar of Darrowshire (also called Manadar the Healer). Her servitude to the Light came to an abrupt end while she was stationed in Icecrown — after a particularly unfortunate run-in with a coven of Cult of the Damned practitioners, she found herself unable to call upon her Light-given powers.
After a brief but ill-advised stint as a Farstrider initiate, Joss has elected to once again wade into the melée, and has pressganged one of the Executors-errant of the Forsaken military into training her.
80 Gnome Warlock
Character's Name: Gnorf Percey Gyroscorch
Level: 80
Age: 28
Current Residence: Ironforge
Short Back Story: The son of two prominent and successful mages, Gnorf had trained with the best tutors money could buy to follow in his parent's footsteps. However the more he studied the Arcane arts, the more curious he became. All of the research on magical powers led Gnorf to delve deeper into the books. He eventually stumbled upon darker and more powerful magics, but power is not what drove him. Led by curiosity and backed by confidence, he studied the new and exciting magics and surpassed everything his tutors could have hoped for. Being the son of two skilled mages, Gnorf was confident he could control and contain the fel magics to the benefit of himself and his allies, so he took the challenge, and Gnorf P. Gyroscorch took upon the role of warlock.
PS. First gnome?! ...Well, other than Tadkins.

This might run a little long, due to an annoying lore flub on Blizzard's part.
Character's Name: Ceb Goren
Level: 35, because I'm too impatient for the shattering to level him further
Age: Died at 25, and is currently either 31 or 32, depending on conflicting lore on what year he would have died.
Current Residence: An broken-down, rotting, old wagon in Tirisfal Glades.
Short Back Story: Ceb was born to a rich family in Stratholme, and moved to Caer Darrow at around the age of twenty. Unfortunately, from here there are two, directly opposing, lore sources. One says that the town of Caer Darrow died to an experimental plague that was concocted by the students of Scholomance, and another source says that the town was so well defended that it was the very last town in Lorderon to fall to the Scourge, only failing when Scholomance revealed itself as a Scourge bastion by attacking the unaware populace at night. Either way, he died and was re-raised inside Scholomance; forced to clean up after budding necromancers, and their creations. Eventually, he broke free of his masters' control, fleeing to Hillsbrad, where he was rescued by The Forsaken.

Sometimes people want a quick description of the characters around them, rather than a four-page biography about John Smith the Warlock's pet turtle -- which is more in the wiki's territory.Please help report this to be a sticky as well.
Regardless, this argument is only diluting an otherwise successful thread. I'd appreciate it if you could either bring up the topic in a new thread, or just shut up about it altogether. Whatever you choose to do, kindly keep it out of this thread.
85 Blood Elf Rogue
Character name: Ioun Bladesinger. Formerly Commander Bladesinger, third fleet, Quel'thalas navy
Level: 80
Age: 150 - 200. Somewhere around there. Not entirely sure. (Mature adult to early middle age)
Current Residence: Thunder Bluff, with nomadic tendencies.
Short back story: From the stormy seas of the second war to the streets of shattered Silvermoon, Ioun has known little but war.
These days, the retired adventurer has all but given up on Silvermoon, relocated to Thunder Bluff, and has embraced the Earthmother, being one of the few of his kind to have completed the Rites of the Earthmother.
Ioun can often be found at the pool in Thunder Bluff where he's happy either making drums, playing them, or practicing his paper folding.
While he has generally gotten over his hatred of the horde, Ioun will likely never accept the undead in any form, and crudely refers to them as 'rots' and 'deaders.'
88 Human Paladin
Character's Name: Daivick Vannithan
Level: 80
Age: 45
Current Residence: Stormwind City
Short Back Story:
Daivick Vannithan lived on a small farm in Southern Elwynn (now Duskwood), until things took a turn for the worst. The farm's crops were poisoned by a competiting farm, which ruined the entire growing season for them. They nearly starved to death during the winter that followed. The Vanntihans were about to lose all their money and their property when the Worgen attacked, slaughtering Daivick's family before his own eyes. Daivick then fled north, to Stormwind, where he took refuge in the Cathedral and became a Paladin of the Holy Light.
Edited by Daivick on 11/19/2010 7:34 PM PST
85 Night Elf Druid
Character's Name: Cylebren Shadowgrove
Level: 80
Age: Old enough.
Current Residence: Winterspring.
Short Back Story: She's a druid who is little more than a glorified messenger between Nighthaven and the Cenarion Enclave for the mundane, everyday correspondences. She lives in Winterspring with her mate and enjoys taking care of her family and home.
85 Human Mage
Character's Name: Naethas Bradigan
Level: 80
Age: Early-mid 30's
Current Residence: Ironforge
Short Back Story:
Gilnean by birth, Naethas was apprenticed to a mage in the Kirin Tor at a fairly early age. He took great interest in the Arcane and the workings of the universe, devoting most of his life to its study an practice. During the course of the different attacks on Dalaran, he fashioned himself into a battlemage. Continuing on in his studies of body and mind, he also helped rebuild Dalaran after Archimonde destroyed it. Having never ventured far from the city itself until news of the Lich Kings defeat, Naethas decided to branch out and explore Azeroths Alliance territories, where he falls in line with the Baradin Expedition, a mercenary group devoted to securely detaining magical artifacts and prisoners to the island prison of Tol Barad.

Long Island, New York, landfill provided a location for processing various waste materials.
On June 11, 2014, Raleigh, North Carolina-based Lindner America LLC demonstrated the capabilities of its new mobile shredder Urraco 95 DK at a landfill in Long Island, New York. The shredding equipment company reports that for two days, clients from the surrounding area where able to see various material processed at very high rates.
"We can't be more proud of what our engineers have accomplished with this design. Seeing the shredder in action clearly shows their decades of experience," says Andreas Schwarz, president of Lindner America LLC.
Don Cotrona the mobile division manager at Lindner America says, "Being in this industry for over 25 years, I really appreciate all the advanced features this machine offers."
The Urraco 95 DK is a CAT diesel-powered shredder with 770 horsepower and a capacity of well over 100 tons per hour when processing C&D or similar debris, says Lindner. The shafts can easily be exchanged to accommodate other materials as well, the company adds. Cars, engines and other scrap metal are another area where this shredder excels, according to the company.
The modular design of the Urraco allows Lindner to offer the machine in many configurations. Diesel or electric drives, chain track, hook lift or stationary installation are just some of the main features. For applications that require less capacity, Lindner also offers the Urraco 75. Built with the same quality and features as the 95, this shredder is perfect for applications that require 20-70 tons per hour output, the company says.

BellSouth doesn't see it that way. In what's becoming a common refrain, the telecom cited unfair competition from government and added that under normal conditions ' without its state of emergency status ' New Orleans would be violating state law.
It's a story Lafayette knows well. BellSouth has been a driving force of opposition ' along with Cox Communications ' against Lafayette Utilities System's proposed fiber-to-the-home network. The public utility company's plan to build out fiber optics throughout the city and offer phone, cable and high-speed Internet is awaiting resolution of a lawsuit filed by BellSouth.
City-Parish President Joey Durel, who has made the LUS initiative a cornerstone of his administration, plans to work with New Orleans city officials to remove all barriers to municipalities competing with incumbent telecommunications companies. He says the laws have been abused by BellSouth and used as delay tactics.
Under Louisiana's Local Government Fair Competition Act, municipalities are prevented from offering phone, cable or Internet service faster than 144 megabits per second without first going through a series of steps that include conducting a feasibility study and holding public hearings and a referendum on the issue. The law also sets parameters over a municipality's ability to fund such a project.
In an unusual twist last year, BellSouth and LUS worked together with lawmakers to shape the legislation. "It turns out it was just a ploy," says Durel. "[BellSouth] is abusing that bill now to do what they're doing, and it's ultimately going to prevent New Orleans from doing something wonderful for their community. What we need to do more than anything is work with the New Orleans delegation and our delegation and get that law repealed. We negotiated in good faith. We compromised on some things that we would not have compromised on if we had known that these people were not sincere."
It remains unclear whether the state law, which refers to local governments who provide telecommunications services "to one or more subscribers," would apply to a government that is offering a free Internet service, without any paid subscribers. However, New Orleans city officials have indicated that they are interested in challenging the law.
BellSouth New Orleans spokesman Merlin Villar says the company understands the city's need to "jumpstart revitalization," but it believes that the city's current operation goes against the law.
"As a general matter," he says via e-mail, "our position consistently has been and remains that government-owned wireless networks should operate by the same rules as other communications service providers including wireless, telecom and cable providers. There are laws in place in Louisiana ' including the Local Government Fair Competition Act and rules promulgated by the Louisiana Public Service Commission ' which prevent cross subsidization and other anti-competitive activities. These laws were designed to create a level playing field in these competitive industries. We would hope that the city acknowledges its intention to follow these laws."
New Orleans city officials claim that BellSouth's opposition to their wireless network has been so fierce that the company rescinded an offer to donate one of its damaged buildings to the displaced New Orleans Police Department because of it.
New Orleans Chief Technology Officer Greg Meffert told the Washington Post last Saturday that New Orleans' wireless network represents a "once-in-a-century opportunity to truly show the entire world what can be, instead of just what is, and help write future history in the process. It's a damn shame they [BellSouth] don't see that."
The comments echo the harsh words Lafayette officials recently had for BellSouth officials. Last week, Durel and a team of supporters took out a full page newspaper ad and published an open letter to BellSouth executives, deriding the company as a "corporate Goliath" that "attempts to derail what our voters have said is best for our community."
Lafayette city voters approved the sale of $125 million in bonds to fund the project in July, following a lawsuit from Cox and BellSouth. Since the election, LUS has won its right to proceed as planned in battles before the state Public Service Commission and in district court. BellSouth recently appealed the district court decision.
Lafayette City-Parish Attorney Pat Ottinger says he hopes the suit does not drag on beyond spring. If BellSouth loses its appeal in appellate court, it could appeal to the state Supreme Court, which would then have to decide on whether or not to hear the case. BellSouth also has until Dec. 12 to challenge the PSC's rules governing LUS' accounting procedures, which could further delay the project.
Durel says that BellSouth's persistent objections to the city's plans aren't helping the company. "I think that locally they've done all the damage they can do to themselves," he says. "The real goal of [the open letter] was to hopefully get [CEO] Duane Ackerman to wake up and realize that they're not doing themselves any favors with their public image and that Louisiana needs a hand up, not somebody whose keeping their thumb on us."
For longtime proponents of Lafayette's fiber optics project, like John St. Julien, who maintains the blog site www.lafayetteprofiber.com, the current situation in New Orleans represents "a pretty obvious opportunity" for the two cities to come together and fight for their common interests.
"If you could put the Acadiana delegation together with the New Orleans delegation you could have a real voting bloc," St. Julien says. "If there was no law then [LUS] wouldn't be in court right now. If that law could be wiped off the books all these legal objections would be washed out. There'd be no stopping us. We need to have the freedom to compete and deregulate. Take all the restrictions of who can compete out. That would be the real solution."
Durel insists that changing state law will be of greater benefit to other communities. "Lafayette's going to get this done. Whether they delay it another year or so [remains] to be seen. For other communities to get it done is going to be nearly impossible [under the existing law].
"We could have been wireless a year ago," he adds. "But with everything else we were doing it was just not worth additional burden on the group of people that are working on the fiber."
The long struggle for LUS hasn't been cheap. It has spent $1.5 million on studies, public information campaigns and legal fees for the project, according to LUS Director Terry Huval. In the past two months alone, LUS has paid $59,488 in legal fees for work related to its fiber project.
Although interest rates have also been on a slight rise since LUS began proceeding with its plans, Huval says the actual material cost of the fiber has been going down, and the overall cost of the project remains roughly what was accounted for.
"I don't think the dollar amount is the big issue as much as it is the delay," says Durel. "If BellSouth or Cox had never gotten in the way of this and tried to put the hurdles up that they have put, we would already be servicing our first customer. How much does it cost us not to have this going? How much does it cost Lafayette and Louisiana as other communities see what we've been doing and they start trying to do this themselves? We can either lead or we can follow, and we have an opportunity to lead right now and to be a spotlight for the nation."

"I am only getting a little nervous about two projects — the proposed Sasol GTL facility [not the new ethylene plant] and the proposed G2X facility — both in Lake Charles. They need a hefty difference between oil and natural gas prices to make sense."
Abysmally low participation by the public has prompted the council to scuttle the 2014 survey with plans to simplify it and try again next year.
The village now says the ordinance will likely be overturned and authorities will more vigorously enforce existing leash laws.
Lower oil prices also might slow the growth of oil production in parts of the U.S., Canada and elsewhere because it will no longer be so profitable.

NOV 26 Zach Kopplin, who we came to know and love when he was a Louisiana high school student lobbying for the continued inclusion of science stuff in science class, pens this post in The Atlantic about a "textbook" available for social studies instruction in Texas that discusses how Moses contributed to the Constitution. (Oy! Texas rednecks love Jews. Who knew?)
NOV 26 Finally, mad people on the interwebz is a good thing! World wide webby outrage has caused the village of Moreauville to reverse its plan to confiscate pit bulls and Rottweillers and euthanize them simply because of their breed, WAFB reports here. The plan? They're going to enforce the leash law. Well, that would have been a good place to start.
NOV 26 Jim Brown, like many of us Louisiana voters, seems fed up with out of town know-it-alls trying to tell us what to do. Bill Cassidy can't make it through the day without flying someone in to "tell us political retards" how to vote, he says.
NOV 26 Blogger Tom Aswell is writing about the behavior of the two finalists in the 6th Congressional District race: Edwin Edwards and Garret Graves. Edwards has come out swinging, but Graves' campaign seems bent on snatching defeat from the jaws of victory, Tom says.

NOV 26 Unless you're in Virigina, you shouldn't count on seeing our Governor on Election Day. Mark Ballard writes in the Advocate's political blog that Bobby will be appearing at a GOP love fest of some kind there, instead of spending the day here.
NOV 26 This post on The Lens takes a look at the ongoing dispute in New Orleans over the banners about the upcoming tax election for the school system. The banners are hanging on schools, and some feel they are promotional, which is not allowed, instead of educational - which is allowed.
NOV 26 Not all college students are focused on football games and parties at this time of year. This post on DIG Baton Rouge recounts an LSU student group that tries to make sure that those who are hungry and homeless are not forgotten by those of us who aren't.
NOV 25 Edwin Edwards took off the gloves on Monday, this post on WAFB tells us. At a Press Club appearance, he wondered how his 6th Congressional District opponent, Garret Graves, could be an expert in all the areas in which he claims to be - when he has no college degree in anything. (Five years - FIVE YEARS - in college, but no degree. Huh?)
NOV 25 Blogger Mike Deshotels offers this primer on predatory charter schools and how they operate, specifically in Louisiana. They're not just profiting from our tax dollars, they're using children and shortchanging them to do so, Deshotels says.

They passed an ordinance based on nothing that outlaws pit bulls and Rotweillers. As of Tuesday morning, the petition had more than 230,000 signatures - a number that's a wee bit higher than the village population of 929.

Why Frame Walls When You Can Frack Wells?
by Rick Palacios Jr.
In late 2008, oil and gas pipeline construction workers earned $0.46 per hour more than new home framing contractors. Today, they earn $8.15 more per hour. It's no wonder labor is tight in the new home market, especially in Texas and Denver, the closest major markets to North Dakota. Since 2008, framing contractor wages have fallen 8%, while oil and gas pipeline construction wages have swelled by 20%.
The Never-Ending Puzzle of Projecting Home Price Appreciation
Student Loans Will Cost the Industry $83 Billion this Year
by Rick Palacios Jr. and Ali Wolf
8% fewer homes will transact than normal in 2014, purely due to student debt.
This week, our clients received a 30-page paper that assesses the impact of student loans on home buying for households under the age of 40. Our conclusion is that 414,000 transactions will be lost in 2014 due to student debt. At a typical price of $200,000, that is $83 billion per year in lost volume.
Source: John Burns Real Estate Consulting, LLC
The analysis was quite complicated and involved a few assumptions, but we believe it is conservative, primarily because we looked only at those under the age of 40 with student debt.
At a high level, the math is as follows:

I would like to know if the rebasing for debug purpose is worth the trouble.
There is a similar question Is rebasing DLLs (or providing an appropriate default load address) worth the trouble? but it is not related to debug purpose but to speeding up DLLs loading.

Valve has unleashed a new DoD: Source update, and this one is a winner. Included is a brand new mode, Detonation, which will be familiar to some CS players. Two new maps and the film grain graphic effect are also included. We give our first impressions inside.
Jagd takes place in Italy, but no spaghetti sauce will be flung here. Because it's the US Army against the Wehrmacht, the former doesn't have THAT much room to begin with. The Wehrmacht on the other hand, begin behind a church which contains the TNT. The US cannot enter the church, so they must camp around in the general area. There are three primary paths that lead straight to the vehicles to be destroyed. Once again, each vehicle needs to have TNT detonated on it twice in order for it to be completely destroyed.
The long awaited Film Grain graphic feature has been added, and the name speaks for itself. In an attempt to help make a movie appear more intense or cinematic, film grains could be used. If you watch an old WWII movie, it likely has a film grain, which shows it's age. In the game though, it can help make the game feel more dramatic, and give you the idea that you are literally playing such a movie.
Color Correction is the other big mode that comes into play with the new update. In order to help further in making the gameplay a more realistic experience, the colors are adjusted slightly to give a more believable scene. Quickly testing a scene with Color Correction on, and then off proved no viable difference whatsoever. It may make a difference some aspects of the game, but I haven't noticed it. Enabling these modes don't affect HDR or any other graphic pluses.
One sad thing is that you cannot use the film grain filter DURING gameplay as far as I can tell. You will only see it when you first enter, are in spectator mode, or die. Either way, it's a great addition that straight out looks cool.
This update contains more than just film grain and a few levels though. According to the press release, new shaders have been introduced which include image-based texture blending, light warping and phong shading. Gotta love the phong. Animations have also been amped up and DX8 capable GPU's are now capable of the bloom HDR effect.
Gameplay specific though, the game has improved hit location detection. As long as you keep aiming for the head, you will not notice a difference. Player statistics have also been added, although we can't elaborate on those until the game launches.
The best thing about this summer update is that it's completely free to DoD: Source owners. If you enjoy some good WWII action, and don't already own DoD: Source, then you really don't know what you are missing. The game still retails for $20 on Steam and includes 8 maps. The gameplay is solid and the graphics and sound are incredible. The addition of the new mode is quite welcomed, and both coinciding maps are well thought out. Overall, this is an update that was well worth waiting for.

COLLIER COUNTY, Fla. - Two of the three suspects arrested in a brazen Golden Gate Estates home break-in faced a judge today.
Only WINK News got video inside the courtroom as family members of the men made tearful pleas to the judge, asking her to be lenient on the suspects.
Deputies say Fidel Marrero-Rodriguez, Pedro Herrera, Yadier Gonzalez-Rodriguez, and at least one other person wore police hats as they forced a homeowner into her house by gunpoint. The Miami men were instead faced with the barrel of her husband's gun. His quick trigger finger left one of the men with a bullet wound to his shoulder. The suspect is still in the hospital, while his wife begged the judge to see him.
Estates residents we talk to applaud the homeowner for standing his ground and shooting at the men. Some call it a mistake to rob anyone in the estates, since many own guns.
All three men are being charged with impersonating a police officer and robbery with a firearm. They are being held on $550,000 bond.
There is at least one other suspect still on the loose.

Interesting article, but the comments after it point out some flaws in his argument. I guess eventually the markets and economies will have to reset to the old rules. You know the idea that the world should not, can not, base trading, money, economies on our FED writing blank checks to inside traders. My mistake was thinking that extraordinary fraud would not be possible after 2008. but I did not count on the media and the most corrupt congress, administration, and crony banksters, making up a whole new ballgame.

Restoring market forces to interest rates by cutting back the printing press will bring back another depression, therefore the Fed will do very little until their is a Republican administration to blame the depression on.

Yeah, the economy is just rocking along. That´s why the GDP for the 1st quarter was revised downward twice from a small positive, to neutral, and then to negative 2.9%. And guess what, key numbers used in the calculations were estimates and real data won´t be available until end of August. Anyone notice that this administration has real trouble getting data in on time?

The "blistering" is what happened to the workers and savers who have seen their real income get "smacked upside the head". . . again!

"Blistering"? Technically, we´ve been in a recovery for over five years, but how meaningful is a recovery that eliminates full time employment in favor of part time work? That sees the worker participation rate fall to 1978 levels as the population grows? That deliberately leaves out of inflation calculations energy and food, which have soared in price since 2009? Whom are they trying to kid?Mark Twain coined "Lies, damned lies, and statistics." What the political establishment and media are trying to sell us to convince us that things are okay involves a lot more than massaging numbers. Heck, what´s being done to those numbers involves doing things that should get these liars pinched for lewd and lascivious treatment of numbers. And the language.

Full year economic growth in 2014 will be less than the paltry 1.9% in 2013, Expect an anemic 1.6%. The only "blisters" will be from sitting on the unemployment bench.From BBB News: "Marc Chandler, global head of currency at investment firm Brown Brothers Harriman, .... pointed out that as a result of revisions to economic data going back to 1999, "it now appears the US economy grew more slowly than previously known over the past three years".The US recovery from the depths of the 2009 recession remains the weakest since World War II."

Mar 2, 2011It might not fulfil its potential but Wave – Against every BEAT! is still a pretty fun bullet hell type shooter.

Feb 28, 2011Has its charms, but the visuals border on going overboard (which is in itself fairly impressive considering the genre), making your continued survival a combination of luck and twitchy skills.
Mar 12, 2011Wave's music-integration gimmick doesn't really work, making this top-down shooter a bit dull.

Stars answer the call at 'Hope For Haiti Now' telethon
Celebrities and musicians answered the phones and put on a show at Friday's all-star, international "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon, which featured two hours of pleas for the earthquake-ravaged nation. But it ended on a hopeful note, with a buoyant song calling for Haiti's revival by native son Wyclef Jean.

NEW YORK — Grim-faced celebrities and musicians with mournful tunes set the tone for the all-star, international "Hope for Haiti Now" telethon, which featured two hours of pleas for the earthquake-ravaged nation. But it ended on a hopeful note, with a buoyant call for Haiti's revival by native son Wyclef Jean.
"Enough of this moping man, let's rebuild Haiti, let's show 'em how we do it where we come from!" Jean shouted after singing "Rivers of Babylon."
He segued into the joyful tune "Yele" with an island beat, as musicians danced, singing the refrain: "Earthquake, we see the earth shake, but the soul of the Haitian people will never break!"
It was a contrast from the opening of the telecast: no words, simply photos of Haiti's citizens as a backdrop, as Alicia Keys called for the help of angels in somber tune.
"Can you send me an angel to guide me?" Keys sang from her song "Prelude to a Kiss." There was no audience or applause, allowing the moment to sink in for the millions expected to watch.
"The Haitian people need our help," said George Clooney, who helped organize the two-hour telecast. "They need to know that they are not alone. They need to know that we still care."
Then, after an impassioned plea from Halle Berry, Bruce Springsteen dedicated a song for Haiti: "We Shall Overcome."
The entertainment world has responded to the Jan. 12 earthquake with an outpouring of charity, from million-dollar donations to songs designed to raise money for relief.
On Friday night, those efforts became collective as the biggest celebrities from music, film, sports and politics joined for the telethon. Stars such as Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Aniston and Julia Roberts answered telephones while CNN's Anderson Cooper reported from Haiti.
Although the celebrity phone bank appeared to be continuously busy with donation calls, it was not immediately known how much money was raised by the show.
Most of the musical performances were downbeat. John Legend sang "I Feel Like a Motherless Child." Kid Rock, Keith Urban and Sheryl Crow sang "Lean on Me." Beyoncé, with Coldplay's Chris Martin backing her on piano, revised her hit "Halo" with new lyrics: "Haiti we can see your halo, we pray you won't fade away."
Madonna provided one of the few upbeat moments with her choir-backed performance of "Like a Prayer," while Sting's "Driven to Tears" was also spirited.
Jay-Z, Rihanna and U2's Bono and The Edge debuted a song, "Stranded (Haiti Mon Amour)."
The telethon was broadcast from New York, London, Los Angeles and Haiti, and was featured on all the major networks and channels. It was also streamed live on sites such as YouTube and MySpace.
Haitians were able to listen on Radio One Haiti.

Malta - Camino Island, Blue Lagoon
Since we didn't know exactly what we wanted to do in Malta we decided to do the one thing we were sure of, the blue lagoon. We were just going to go there on our own but we bumped into the hostel owner in the lobby so asked him what he suggested. He told us about companies that run boat trips to the blue lagoon and leave from the marina just down the road. It sounded like a good option and was leaving in half n hour so we walked down to the marina ...
Afternoon Fun
On the 2nd full day that we had in Malta we visited the Arts & Crafts village in the afternoon. We went to the Glass House first and saw how they mould all the glasses into shape. It was really hot in there as they used a really hot oven-like machine to heat the glass so that they could mould the glass. We then went to the Silver and Gold Filigree workshops and purchased some items from there. We also watched them construct a ...
Marvelous Malta!
... service and food. As usual, we ate too much!
After lunch, we spent some time looking for Mary's house, the place she was born. It was in Old Theatre Lane. We wandered around, up and down trying to find it. Past Mary's Dad's old church, down narrow streets lined with limestone buildings. It is such a lovely old place. We finally found Mary's house, at the end of the street with doors boarding the front and a chain and ...
Pinch and a punch

moreBased on a thorough review of their feature make up and on novel diachronic data on their modification properties, this paper maps out the internal syntactic structure of French n-words and the historical time course of their internal rise within a nominal projection. It charts out precise steps that directly relate internal structural changes to corresponding changes in concord properties. Indirect modification with autre as in rien d'autre is shown to be an innovation of modern French that serves to provide a distinctive signature of the final morphosyntactic change of n-words into negative quantificational expressions. The evidence offered supports the hypothesis (Déprez 2000; Condoravdi & Kiparsky 2006) that it was change in the internal structure of n-words that determined the current properties of negative concord, not changes in the sentential negation marker, contra Zeijlstra (2004 and following work). less
