What are ways to get 100 Critical Rate
MapleStory Forums : General MapleStory : General MS questions and answers
May 17 13
I just noticed I have 85% Crit Rate and I wasn't even trying? Aside from having my Explorer Crit Ring and Phantom link skill, I don't know how I got 85%. Now I wanna know what I can do to get it to a full 100%. Please don't suggest the use of a SE Neb as I use Dojo gloves or MM Character Card cuz I'm not the grinding type and I would much rather spend all day in the FM than power level to 200 a class I have no interest for. Thanks again, Basil!
EDIT: Gah I forgot % gets omitted in titles here. I meant What are ways to get 100% Critical Rate

looks like potential is your only bet without SE neb or MM character card; wouldn't really need to risk a line that could go for total damage for something as small as an extra 10% in crit rate

get inner ability % critical

Other than nebulites, you can try to get a 15% Crit Rate inner potential from Azwan.

azwan inner potential can give you that last 15% crit i believe

Best cheese/wine shop in Miami?
I came across Laurenzo's in North Miami Beach & had some amazing proscuitto while I was there, but was not too impressed with their cheese selection. Any idea where I can find a good selection of cheese?
The best selection of cheese I've found is at Whole Foods -- the one in South Miami seems to have more of a selection than the one in Aventura area.
My new favorite wine shop the one at Red and Bird next to Delicias de España and Allen's Drugs. They have a nice selection, and very reasonable prices.
re: karmalaw
We get cheese from Sunset Corners in South Miami for our wine tastings and it's always been excellent.
The Gables/South Miami Whole Foods does have a pretty good selection.
Epicure Market does too.
re: karmalaw
Have not gone through that little block in quite a while. Are the wines mostly Spanish or is it a wine shop in its own right with a wide selection?
re: Icantread
it's a wine shop in its own right -- I picked up a Felipe Rutini 2005 Malbec for $13.99 (very good price).. I didn't even pay attention to any spanish wines -- I headed straight to the malbecs... and I didn't see spanish wines in any preponderance in the case displays up front.
re: karmalaw
Are you referring to the wine shop attached to Delicias de Espana or another one? There's also Top Hat Wines over on the Bird Rd. side which a friend told me has some good deals. The wine at Delicias is sort of limited in selection and generally a little pricey (that Malbec notwithstanding).
re: Frodnesor
It's on the red road side, on the corner - and not attached to delicias... it's a few doors down. The name is Chevalier Wine Cellar. I looked at the prices on a few wines that I knew -- all were good.
re: karmalaw
I passed by there recently. I liked the selection, was recommended a couple wines by someone I am not sure is their go-to wine guy (asked what I was referring to by big body). I went to Top Hat wines as well and found the liquor a good price but didn't really get a vibe on the wine. Did not find someone I felt confident asking about the wine either and nobody offered. Some interesting bottles, a lot of $30+++ inventory. not sure i felt the breadth of their selection and unfortunately had no one to ask.
re: Frodnesor
there were definitely some fair deals just on the website. I'm going to have to check them out.
re: Frodnesor
I did actually. It was good, the croquetas and ceviche were both delicious. The cheese platter was their standard. My girlfriend and her friend loved the mussels. The service was actually a little rough. I do not eat shellfish, so asked if they could do a paella either vegetarian or with chicken. The waitress asked so you want arroz con pollo or just yellow rice, to which I replied, yes that would be fine. She then just refused to ask the kitchen or pay any attention to my question. Oh well. The owner (I think, the shorter guy with an accent) is great with the wine recs.
Whole Foods in South Miami/Coral Gables area, Sunset Corners and Crown right near Whole Foods has some good choices (though not a lot) at times
I really like the Crown Liquors down near the Falls (nice cheeses and speciality meats) and Grazianos Market on Bird and 97 Ave. has a vast wine selection. I also recently went to La Estancia Argentina Gourmet Market right across from Merrick Park in the Gables, and they had some decent wines. Didn't check the cheeses though.
re: moonsea
Their cheeses are limited -- but good if you're "missing" the cheeses you'd normally find in Argentina.
The wine selection is good -- as is the selection at the other Argentine (non-related) market/deli in Doral. With exception of the higher-end wines they have there, I can find many of the same wines at local latin supermarkets for a bit less.

Calling for a response to digital ID
State barriers to information sharing do create problems for law enforcement when they can't identify crooks and terrorists past state lines. That's the problem the Real ID act is trying to address, but it remains to be seen if federal bureaucrats can devise a system that incorporates sharing with civil liberty safeguards.

And me then another a little while later exactly the same but with my name inserted ;) we use a print managed service now so it wouldn't good them any good.
So its -
Bentham Ltd
LJT Direct
IJT Biz
Inkjets and Toners
IJT Biz aswell (not the domain, but that is also 1 of their trading names)
Apparently there are 19 domains registered in total but I have to pay to see them all lol
I probably have about 10 of those on my filter list which is probably how they are getting through
Hi guys / lasses
I know this is an old thread however I read this thread with interest as we buy 95% of our toner cartridges from IJT and to date I've been entirely happy with the service and support we receive. We are I guess an average secondary school with around 1100 students and centrally manage the purchase of toner cartridges therefore we are able to achieve economies of scale. Mostly due to me discouraging colour printing via the use of printing credits (Papercut - excellent software) we mostly purchase mono cartridges, having said that I have noticed a higher failure rate with their colour cartridges. However, whenever we have experienced an issue with a cartridge a simple phone call or email to our account manager has always resolved the issue to my satisfaction with the minimum of effort on my part with a new cartridge always being despatched with no quibble!
Certainly we achieve much better pricing than is listed in any of their brochures therefore you may find it useful to contact an account manager directly and have a conversation even if it's only to get a competitive quote to bring another suppliers price down. I can get very stroppy with unsolicited sales calls and junk email (ask the guys that work with me), like yourselves there's sometimes not enough time in the day to scratch your backside, I do find I get the occasional junk email from IJT which simply goes straight to my junk email therefore i don't really see it as a problem!
Periodically I check pricing against other competitors and always find them to be competitive, on the rare occasion I do find a more competitive price they will always price match or better. Our account manager is Jonny Sinclair and have always found him to be amiable, quick and efficient minimising the time spent on a pretty mundane task!
Just my thoughts
Hahaha how much did they pay you for that?
yep cyan toner always fails on the hp refills, not just the IJT ones
IJT are very agressive sales wise but they can save you some money.
to stop the emails just email your account manager with the following
if i am not taken off your mailing list blah blah blah
due to the high volume of emails that we receive from your company i will now be adding your companys domain details into our spam filter.
i found it quite funny that i got one more email that said i have now taken you off our mailing list.....
do you need any toner?
i found it funny at the time
The recycled hp toners dont touch with a barge pole supply memory errors, exploding cartridges, and the best one is on hp 3550 if you print a page with a high volume of cyan the printer wraps the paper round the fuser,yet another call out.
false enconomy recycled toners cause more work for the techs
Had a few issues with some compatable toners a while ago but we have now found a supplier who gets us Remanufactured toners and so far we have never had an issue at all. Refills are just utter crap the ones we use have new parts fitted so the only 2nd hand part if you will is the plastic case
Whilst IJT have been absolutely shocking on their toners, they have done us some good deals in the past with camera's and USB sticks. Thats about all the good they have done tbh, and since switching to a managed system for our printers, I am glad I dont deal with them for ink any more! :)
Way to win my custom...Quote:
I really do hate to ask like this but I am currently having my worst week ever!!
Is there anything you need to order that I can help with? I have lots of freebies (vouchers, 4 GB pen drives, dvd players) on offer with your toner & inks and I promise to be extra generous if you can help me out.
Is there ANYTHING we can do?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
IJT are the people that give you a free Dell 1320 printer when you buy 2 sets of way overpriced toners.
Inkjets & Toners(Inkjets & Toners - great prices for inkjet and laser toner cartridges for Canon, Epson, GCC, HP, Lexmark etc Printers) charge £150 per set EXCLUDING VAT, buy 2 sets and get the printer free
Morgan computers (another sub brand)charge £60 per set inc vat
on their other website ijtdirect they charge roughly £48 per set including vat
on their Ebay site they charge only £17.99 + £5.95 delivery including VAT for a complete set
BenthamLtd items - Get great deals on BROTHER TN3030 BLACK TONER CARTRIDGE FOR LASER HL 5170 items on eBay Stores!
When i asked the capacity of the toners they reckoned they were 2,000 copies which are the high caps but i was only getting about 800 prints. Their morgan site mentions that the toners are only 1,000 copies. As they tend to use the same order codes on most of their website i tend to believe they are only the low caps.
From their Ebay shop - HP 1320 - £10.85p + Free p&p - why then do I pay from their website - Great value toner cartridges for HP Laserjet 1320 at IJT Direct Ltd - £16.96p plus £6 delivery charge?
Even worse is their HP 2420 hi-cap toner - £21.96p + Free p&p from Ebay shop - Normal website - £50.95p plus £6 delivery!
Well I don't anymore.
I know in general these posts are old but it appeared high on my search for IJT and I felt given so much negativity I should should my experiences.
I have only been using IJT about a year but have had no problem at all in regards to hassle about orders etc (but maybe this is because I am quite frequently using them), however still the only e-mails i get from them are to occasionally check if everything is all right or if they have any particular specials they think i would be interested in.
In regards to the quality of the toners I can't say I haven't had any problems with the refills as I have but no more than i have with any other recycled toners.
Furthermore any time I have had any problems they have replaced the toners without question. On one occasion I had a slightly more serious toner leak, they offered to repair or replace the printer but I fixed it myself, because I fixed it myself they sent me through a box of complimentary toners for it.
I am very happy with the service and prices they give us, although am very intrigued by the cheap prices through e-bay!

David Moyes hopes to get his first glimpse of Shinji Kagawa on Tuesday evening when Manchester United take on Yokohama F•Marinos in the Kagome Re:Generation Challenge.
Kagawa rejoined his Reds team-mates for the first time since May on Monday as United jetted into Japan on the third stop of Tour 2013 presented by Aon.
And while Shinji isn't expected to start on Tuesday (he was granted an extended holiday following his involvement for Japan in last month's Confederations Cup), Moyes told reporters that he's "looking forward to working with" the 24-year-old.
"I know a little about him as a player," David explained. "Sir Alex spoke in glowing terms about Shinji and how good a player he is. I've just met him today, so we're getting to know each other. I'm trying to learn Japanese and he's trying to understand my Scottish!
"It was his first season in the Premier League last year. He's a young player so we hope his development continues. I look forward to working with him and hopefully he has a really good season coming up."

Modern semitrailers for the most part do a good job of keeping passenger vehicles from sliding underneath them, greatly increasing the chances of surviving a crash into the back of a large truck, recent tests by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety show. But in crashes involving only a small portion of the truck's rear, most trailers fail to prevent potentially deadly underride.

TAMPA, Fla. (AP) - A University of South Florida student has completed a walk across the country in a personal quest he hopes will inspire others to become active.
Twenty-two-year-old Harrison Milanian walked from Tallahassee to Laguna Beach, Calif., in a little over 11 weeks, The Tampa Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/140vl59 ).
"I wanted to do something challenging," Milanian said.
Milanian got the idea for the walk after he started going on 20-mile walks with his golden retriever, Captain.
He then began training to walk across the country, even though friends and family urged him not to. It was a personal challenge but also part of a larger mission to raise awareness about fitness.

Fields and Filters is the best non-commercial extension of its type, and it's probably the simplest of all CCKs. What is lacking is good English documentation and instructions within the interface. As another reviewer noted, Forms and Fields lacks the following: easy styling of fields, nested/conditional fields, and the ability to get raw field values discretely anywhere.
Thank you Tom, great job.
Special thanks to the developer Tom, who has been very helpful.
There is something that has to be said for the support you get for non-commercial extension: Wow. I happened to use the latest Joomla so it wouldn't show the option in the back-end, it was not compatible. I sent a message to the developer hoping that maybe he'll know the exact issue so I could start looking into it, but I honestly didn't have high hopes of getting an answer. I got one just a few hours later and with a fix attached! Absolutely brilliant support, helpful and friendly and fast. I have never had a better experience.
I've created a search plug-in for J2.5 which allows to return a list of articles based items defined via fields/filters. Didnt have time to make an official release but if someone is interested, shoot me up and I'll share.
I tried several kind of extension to add some field for my joomla articles. This is the real one that give me all I need.
And the developper give me hand to add fields for a specify component (Acymailing…). Thanks again.
It calls the db just a few times, even with many fields, that is a must have in terms of site performance.
One thing that amazed me, is the fact that it just saves the fields that are filled and this saves on db space and improves performance!
The support is great, I had two qiestions, and the developer replied within minutes, that's what I call dedication.
Finally, having new types of fields will make this an even greater extension.
Maybe creating field groups and define in which category these should happear would be a good idea also.
- Some more fields, like dropdowns, urls, geo, selects group, which must be styleable with custom css classes;
- Allowing nested/conditional fields;
- Filter output templateable, like category blog etc;
- All fields/values must be discretely available from DB, (not all field values inside of one array);
After this extention grows into described direction, all other CCKs will say goodbye. The cause is simple: there are many CCKs in Joomlaversum, but all of them have weak sides. The most weak sides are: using of own, not native Joomla content items, impossibility of detailed search within own content. This one can do both: create fields for Joomlas native content items AND do detailed search within own fields. Tomasz, do it good and consequent, and you will be quickly on top!
Many thanks for your review and high rating. I added your proposals to my task list. If you'll have following solution please let my know.
I would like to comply my component to the largest group users as posible.


text: On March 27, 1997, about 1711 Alaska standard time, a wheel equipped Piper Navajo PA-31-350 airplane, N4105D, operated by Grant Aviation, received substantial damage when an in-flight fire erupted in the left engine nacelle while on approach to landing at the Nome Airport, Nome, Alaska. The airline transport certificated pilot and the two nonrevenue company employees aboard were not injured. The airplane is owned and operated by Grant Aviation, Emmonak, Alaska, and was returning without cargo or revenue-producing passengers from an earlier 14 CFR Part 135 cargo flight. At the time of the accident, the airplane was being operated as a 14 CFR Part 91 positioning flight.According to the company's Director of Operations, the airplane was on a 1/4 to 1/2 mile final approach in the traffic pattern at Nome Airport, when the pilot noticed a large amount of flame coming from the left engine nacelle. The pilot immediately shut off the fuel supply to the left engine and made an uneventful landing. After landing, the pilot noticed that the fire was still burning, although to a lesser degree. He used the on-board, hand held Halon fire extinguisher on the fire. Moments later, the local fire department arrived and extinguished the residual fire. Postaccident inspection of the engine by a Federal Aviation Administration inspector and company maintenance personnel, disclosed a leaking fuel line on the left engine. The leaking fuel line connected the engine driven fuel pump and the fuel injector servo. The fuel line was removed and forwarded to the NTSB investigator-in-charge for examination and testing. Testing disclosed that the fuel line was extensively damaged by fire. The line had been installed in an area that was heavily burned and sooted during the fire, and which was in close proximity to the engine driven fuel pump. The accident airplane's left engine, a Lycoming IO-540-J2BD, was shipped to the Textron Lycoming manufacturing plant in Williamsport, Pennsylvania, pending inspection. On June 6, the engine was examined under the direction of an NTSB air safety investigator from the North Central Region. The engine examination disclosed that the area which exhibited the most fire damage was behind the engine driven fuel pump. The fuel pump was attached to the test stand's fuel supply and pressurized. The fuel pump began leaking at 8 pounds pressure per square inch (psi). The leak was coming from the area where the relief valve cover mated with the fuel pump body. The fuel pump was removed, and the safety retaining wires securing the screws on top of the relief valve cover were inspected. The safety wiring was intact. The safety wires were removed, and the screws were found to be only finger tight. The screws were replaced and torqued to the recommended torque value of 25 inch pounds. The pump was pressurized to 20 psi (the maximum available at the test stand), and no leaks were observed.The fuel pump, Lear Romec part number RG9080J7A, serial number D-648, was removed from the engine and transported by the North Central Region NTSB investigator to a site where a pressure equivalent to the maximum working pressure of the fuel pump could be approximated. The pump's retaining screws were torqued to 25 inch pounds, and 50 psi was applied to the pump. The pump did not leak. The retaining screws were loosened until they were finger tight, pressure was reapplied, and the pump leaked.An internal examination of the fuel pump disclosed that the two required gaskets on the relief valve cover were present and appeared to be serviceable.Subsequent testing of seven similar, new pumps, by Lycoming at their manufacturing plant, revealed four of the seven pumps leaked in the area where the relief valve cover joins the pump body. The leaks occurred at less than the fuel system's maximum working pressure. The valve cover retaining screws were found to be tightened below the recommended torque settings. Lycoming issued Service Bulletin (SB) 406, dated November 19, 1976, which addressed leaks affecting Lear Romec fuel pumps. The SB indicated the cover attaching screws could be the source of fuel leaks due to the gasket material taking a set. The SB directed that the pumps be inspected for leaks, and that all screws used to assemble the pump be checked for proper torque values.Lear Romec issued SB 101SB018, dated July 16, 1987, which also referenced fuel leakage past the relief valve cover gasket on certain pumps, and called for a one time inspection and tightening of the relief valve cover screws. During this investigation, Lear Romec issued Service Bulletin 101SB020, dated July 8, 1997 which addresses initial inspection, checking the torque of the fuel pump relief valve cover screws, and time limits for repetitive inspections. Lycoming also issued Service Bulletin 406A, which mimics the Lear Romec SB. The accident airplane's engine was overhauled by Lycoming on September 23, 1996. At that time, a new fuel pump was installed, and Lycoming certified that all applicable airworthiness directives and service bulletins had been complied with for the engine and its accessories. The overhauled engine was installed on March 15, 1997. At the time of the accident, the engine had been in service 29.8 hours.

ALTAMONTE SPRINGS, Fla. — An officer suffered a broken nose Sunday morning after the suspect in his cruiser went on a rampage.
Angelo Bocchino, 33, was originally arrested and charged with disorderly conduct and resisting arrest, then began shouting, kicked an officer and refused to put his leg in the car, according to MyFox Orlando.
"He kicked the officer in the face, but he still was resisting and he would not get inside the vehicle ," said Officer Robert Pelton of Altamonte Springs Police. "He was Tased in the upper torso and at that point, he retracted his legs, allowing them to place him inside the vehicle.

"It's very unfortunate that the officer was injured, doing his job, trying to protect others," Pelton said.
Bocchino now faces two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer.
The officer has returned to work.

Parker Lewis Can't Lose is an American teen sitcom that originally aired on FOX from September 1990 to June 1993. During the last season, the series sported the simpler title Parker Lewis. The series was produced by Columbia Pictures Television and was strongly influenced by the feature film Ferris Bueller's Day Off. The film's TV spinoff Ferris Bueller debuted on NBC during the same month as Parker Lewis, but it only lasted 13 episodes.

Companies doing business in Latin America have been taking some steps to deal with the security challenges at hand and to head off those that appear to be on the horizon.
Diplomacy. Dogged diplomacy is one tool being put to use. "In these environments, there's a realization [firms] need to be a lot better at external relations, specifically their liaison with the government," says SOS's Cameron.
Companies are putting a lot of effort into regularly meeting with government representatives to forge relationships and understand what their needs are, he says. They are launching community-relations strategies that cast governments in a good light, allowing the state to demonstrate to the local population that they are supporting the growth of the country, Cameron says.
Contingency planning. There has also been a greater focus on contingency planning to brace for worst-case scenarios. One new twist is to map out evacuations of executives to domestic locations, rather than spiriting them out of the country, since "there is no guarantee they will be let back in if they are pulled out," says Cameron.
Case in point: After political protests roiled Bolivian capital La Paz during the past few years, many firms moved offices eastward to Santa Cruz. Ducking confrontations there and elsewhere has become a common theme.
"We see a lot of attention being focused on avoiding protests by following news and keeping up on the day-to-day situation," says Andy Case, a Latin America analyst at iJET Intelligent Risk Systems, a travel intelligence firm based in Annapolis, Maryland.
Company security directors monitor roads leading to airports and scrutinize the safety of routes taken between the office and employee homes. They also develop strategies to deal with possible civil wars. Firms have strengthened their ties with local guard force providers and international security companies.
Physical security. Physical security has also been bolstered in some areas.
Quiroga says Bolivian firms are boning up on security measures they had previously ignored. Some are looking into electronic security systems, while others are replacing old access control networks with modern magnetic card systems.
"In Bolivia very few companies paid attention to security or safety. But now with the new government, companies are concerned about their situation, and they are considering security measures," Quiroga says.
In the eastern Bolivian gas fields, perimeter security has been upgraded around installations following infiltrations by local groups that demanded a greater share of the profits. To try to head off future contention, one company that operates a gas well there removed all of its overseas nationals, and staffed the facility with local managers.
Local recruitment. In some countries with good educational systems, such as Argentina, multinational firms are predominantly hiring locals, right up to senior management. "They know how to take care of themselves and move around," says Toby Friedl, a Latin American analyst for iJET.
While employee background checks may not always be conducted by the firms, they are careful about whom they choose. Job hunters often have to present transcripts or diplomas to back up their stated educational record, along with documentation proving their history with previous employers. "Many companies also ask for photos as part of the applications to see how you present yourself," says Case. "In general, much more scrutiny is used across Latin America when hiring local nationals compared to the U.S. or western Europe model."
Awareness. Companies are also counting on security directors to brief staffers as thoroughly as possible on dangers they may face in any particular country. Security experts in some areas are putting companies on guard about murder, rape, pickpockets, and road cargo theft, for example.
Others hire security firms to update their employees. "We give them the dos and the don'ts," says Vance's Fajardo-Guerrero. "It sounds like a cliché, but knowledge is power. If you arm your employees properly, they will be fine."
An example of a specific recommendation for those traveling to Mexico is to avoid calling the police in times of trouble. "Don't call the cops, because the corruption there is so rampant and intense you may get into more problems," says Fajardo-Guerrero.
In dicey places such as Caracas, security companies generally recommend not taking cabs at the airport. Companies that ignore the rule stand a chance of seeing their employees kidnapped.
"A lot of attacks are occurring between 1 and 4 in the morning on travelers who are poorly prepared and don't have prearranged transport from the airport to their hotels," says Cameron. "We've seen companies have four to five such incidents in the last year."
Executive protection. Friedl says he has heard of at least two cases where important executives have canceled trips to Venezuela because they have been advised against it.
Those who do venture to Caracas or other Latin American hot spots are relying on more protection. "Executive protection is being used a lot more," says Friedl. In Argentina, that means armored cars, which have also become more common in Mexico and Brazil.
"Now if you have money in Argentina, you see more bodyguards and tinted windows," says Friedl. "People are careful about what sort of vehicle they choose. You won't see that many luxury vehicles in Buenos Aires because of security concerns." One of iJET's clients in Buenos Aires actually picks out the types of cars employees are allowed to drive.
Security professionals throughout the continent are also encouraging executives—particularly those in the petroleum industry—to keep a low profile. As in Argentina, they are being advised not to travel in expensive cars, throw lavish parties, or show up in newspaper society pages. "In some cases, they are already lowering their profile; in other cases, they will," says Quiroga.
In my own experience traveling in Caracas, I recall being advised to avoid loitering in front of boutique windows in the downtown shopping district, as thieves interpret that as a sign of wealth.
Executives in the region are being shielded from crime in other ways as well. At Maiquetía airport in Caracas, kidnappers or thieves have been known to read names on welcome signs held up in the waiting area, then intercept the indicated person and pose as their contracted ride. When the businessperson unwittingly goes along with the wrong party, he or she is robbed.
To prevent such incidents, iJET has instituted a system where clients are greeted with a password, ensuring that the stranger at the airport is the one who is supposed to be picking them up.
Executives are warned against traveling too close to the border of Venezuela and Colombia because of rebel activity, and they are advised to dodge rural areas. Local businesspeople carry their car's registration in their wallets in case their vehicle is broken into.
There are indications that while kidnappings are down in some places, like Argentina, they are up elsewhere, like Venezuela, where the involvement of local police is suspected.
In addition to prevention and deterrence, companies are preparing for the worst. Kidnap and Ransom insurance is being used for high executives, says Friedl.
Overall, while making decisions about business and travel, companies need to constantly monitor situations on the ground. They can get some information from the State Department and the Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC). They can also look to private sector sources, such as iJET and Control Risks, which put out country security ratings that have proven to be a staple element within client portfolios. At the time of this writing, iJET gave Venezuela a 4 on a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the most dangerous. The ranking takes into account crime, security services, civil unrest, terrorism, kidnapping, and geopolitical risk. Bolivia was also given a 4.
Despite the shifting political scenario and waves of crime, firms with established operations in Latin America are not likely to give up on those countries. "They are used to the turbulence that comes and goes in a periodic manner throughout the region," says Simon Strong, managing director of Latin America and the Caribbean regions for Kroll Associates Inc.
Security pundits agree that the main objective for these entrenched firms is to stay on top of regional developments to monitor operations and employee safety, and to provide staffers with security briefings and updates. "Clients are adjusting security schemes to the situation," says Fajardo-Guerrero. "They are closely watching everything." They will adapt.

All quotes tagged Long
(251 quotes found)
"In order to educate man to a new longing, everyday familiar objects must be shown to him with totally unexpected perspectives and in unexpected situations. New objects should be depicted from different sides in order to provide a complete impression of the object."
"I love you smile at me, I love the way your hands reach out and hold me near....I believe this is heaven to no one else but me."
"I said to my longing heart,
What is this river you want to cross?
There are no travelers before you, there is no road.
Do you see anyone moving or resting on that bank?"
"Every year we celebrate the holy season of Advent, O God. Every year we pray those beautiful prayers of longing and waiting, and sing those lovely songs of hope and promise."
"Offices are as acceptable here as elsewhere, and whenever a man has cast a longing eye on them, a rottenness begins in his conduct"
"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another."
"What difference is there between us, save a restless dream that follows my soul but fears to come near you?"
"The Lord has implanted a longing for the Lord's Name within me. I have met the Lord God, my Best Friend, and I have found peace."

This is a very versatile and forgiving recipe, as well as delicious. Before anyone jumps on me for rating a recipe I did not follow exactly, the day I made this we had 40-50mph winds, so I was not about to go out to the store...I made this with what I had on hand, and it was WONDERFUL. I plan on making it per the recipe in the future, but here goes...did not have walnuts so used pecans/almonds...used peeled, cubed, sauteed eggplant instead of the mushroom, used cream cheese thinned with a bit of heavy cream instead of the cottage cheese, and finally a cheese blend in place of the swiss. I halved the recipe and it made 2 small loaves. Served it with a onion gravy...WE LOVED IT! Like I said, this is a very forgiving recipe so don't be afraid to explore some substitutions...it works!
I know you're trying to imagine how this tastes, it tastes delicious. People who aren't adventurous with food may not like it, but it's perfect for vegetarians and gluten-frees looking for something different.

I use Allrecipes all the time and joined because of this recipe. It was wonderful, an amazing vegetarian addition to our Thanksgiving.
I used cooked red quinoa instead of brown rice for more nutrition, and 10 oz of Parrano cheese rather than swiss because I had it on hand. I also let it cool in the pan as I was in the middle of cooking many dishes. I have a feeling this recipe is pretty forgiving because it came out wonderfully.
I cut about 11 slices, and it came out to 361 calories each, 13 carbs, 17 grams protein, and 27 grams fat.
I will definitely make it again!
I cut this to 1/4 of the recipe because I had no idea what I was in store for except for the fact that I like every ingredient called for! My biggest issue was finding the right size baking dish, and I didn't really find it. You'll see from my photo that it was very flat. But it is really good. The only substitution I made was to use a mix of Swiss and gruyere cheese. My cooking time was down to half because of the thickness of this. I will look forward to having more of this, as I DO have leftovers! Supreme, indeed, awakeninggoddess66! Thanks!

Town mulls park's use as food pantry site
Local food pantry organizers are seeking a go-ahead from the town to extend distribution events through March 2014.
Sister Gus Griffin of Catholic Social Services said a food truck originally scheduled to set up in downtown Tunica for a three-month period from October through December 2012 has now been extended, starting this March.
The mobile food pantry is being totally funded by Harrah's Casino Tunica through the Caesar's Foundation, Griffin said.
"(Caesar's) now says they will go on for a whole year," Griffin explained to Tunica aldermen on Tuesday.

About RMIT
Ipswitch sent us a really neat package called the Ipswitch Collaboration Suite premium edition which not only contains the iMail Server but e-mail and discussion lists, secure instant messaging, schedule and contact sharing, anti-spam filters, and antivirus protection.
We were only interested in the iMail Server for the purposes of this review. Installation could not have been easier, likewise the initial configuration. This package really is simple, unfortunately too simple. Perhaps a few years ago a mail server like this would have been quite good, however when compared to any of the other packages in this review the Ipswitch iMail Server lacks in many areas.
We decided not to can the product immediately but to press on and have a look at its Web messaging interface and Web calendaring. Unfortunately this was equally unimpressive, quite awkward and very basic. It may well have just been the design and layout but it seemed to lack the finish, features, and polish of all the other applications.
In summary perhaps iMail was a good server in the past, but it has seen its day and definitely is due for some graphical and feature overhauls. On the upside, at least not all of Ipswitch's products are like this, I can personally attest to the fact that its popular WSFTP and What's Up applications are both excellent products.

Pique: Rooney will win it for United
World Cup winner Gerard Pique last night warned Manchester United's Premier League rivals: Wounded Wayne Rooney will win them the title. Pique, who played alongside Wazza at Old Trafford before moving to Barcelona for an undisclosed fee in 2008, believes England's South Africa pain will prove to be United's gain. Pique, 23, reveals that he has never seen any player in the world get more upset and frustrated by losing as the £27million England hitman. Pique said: "England's World Cup and especially the nature of his own personal performances would have really hurt Wayne. But I strongly believe England's disaster will be Manchester United's gain. I have never seen a player in football who gets more upset and frustrated by defeat than Wayne. People can talk about how, with the player's wages, they don't care about defeat or about the fans. But anybody who thinks that, needs to see Wayne in the dressing room after a defeat. You don't even want to talk to him. He looks like he is going to explode. Most players cool off over the weekend but he will come into training on the Monday with even more intensity and desire. And I think that is what will happen when he gets back in the groove with United. Even on his holiday with his family I know the World Cup will be hurting him. But he is the sort of player who will turn that hurt into a title-winning season for Manchester United."
Ben Fairthorne, Daily Star
In The Mirror, Ryan Giggs is tipping United's latest crop of youngsters to come to the fore this term, saying: "They're excited and they want to do well, which is great. I see their determination on the training ground. They want to do well, they're good lads, they want to learn, they want to play for United, get in the team and stay in the team. Hopefully their determination and hunger will see them kick on this season and do even better, because we're going to need them."
In another Mirror story, Giggsy is also quoted on Manchester City's prospects, of which he says: "If they gel as a team, they'll be a force. If they don't, then obviously it could be a frustrating season for them and they'll probably get a little bit of stick."

Outside runners like Megan Baca layer up for the weather.
"I put on my Under Armor," Baca said.
Ice anglers like Seth Wescott enjoyed the winter up north on the lake.
"I went ice fishing a couple times up in Tomahawk," Wescott said.
Even though Miller, Baca and Wescott like different winter activities, they agree on one thing: this winter has been downright cold.
"To honest, I actually didn't make it out that much this winter," Miller said. "The winter was really really cold."
The cold everyone has talked about has helped and hindered businesses in Central Wisconsin.
At Granite Peak, they've had about 80,000 people so far this season out on the hills.
Trailmates Snowmobile Club President Randy Thurs said the super cold has made for a smooth ride on the snowmobile trails.
"Snowmobiling has been awesome," Viegut's Do it Express Co-Owner Brian Viegut said. "It's probably the best winter we've had in ... I can't remember how long."
At Sylvan Tubing Hill, numbers are different from last year.
Karyn Powers, of Sylvan Tubing Hill, said in the 2012-2013 season, there were 11,149 people who public tubed. In the 2013-2014 season so far, there have been about 10,184 public tubers.
The winter has been a roller coaster for ice anglers.
Viegut said he took his shanty off the ice in February, a month before the March deadline.
"We took it off because the slush was getting bad," Viegut said. "It was hard to fish. It was wet and miserable. There was deep snow, and the fishing wasn't that good."
While the winter was good for some and just too cold for others, Miller, Baca and Wescott agreed on one more thing.
"It's (Winter) been too long," Baca said. "It just needs to go away. All this white needs to turn green!"

Only five days left. Im so eager to play this! :D
Very nice, happy to hear that the airstrike isn't gonna be very effective against buildings. I already thought several people at once could then destroy a building just by laser painting it, lol
C4 for personal defence :D
Cant wait for this, so pumped!
Nice video, though I already knew this game mode since I started playing the original Renegade years ago.
Oh ok.
There are still a lot of new players too so keep 'em tutorials coming and make those left handed!
This game looks epic.

So far, the problem of global illumination calculation has almost exclusively been approached from an algorithmic point of view. We propose an architectural approach to global illumination. The proposed rendering architecture Vision is derived from a model of the physical rendering process, which is subsequently mapped onto an object-oriented hierarchy of classes. This design is powerful and flexible enough to support and exploit a large body of existing illumination algorithms for the simulation of various aspects of the underlying physical model. Additionally, the Vision architecture offers a platform for developing new algorithms and for combining them to create new rendering solutions. We discuss both abstract design as well as implementation issues. In particular, we give a detailed description of the global lighting subsystem and show how algorithms for path tracing, bidirectional estimators, irradiance caching, hierarchical radiosity, wavelet radiosity, and wavelet radiance have been implemented within Vision

Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body cannot produce or properly use insulin. Normally, insulin brings sugar out of the bloodstream and into cells. If the body cannot make insulin or does not respond to it, the sugar stays in the bloodstream. As a result of high blood sugar levels, damage eventually occurs to blood vessels and organs.
More than 20 million Americans have diabetes, and more than 40 million more Americans are at risk to develop the disease. Many Veterans have the disease, including some who developed it as a result of being exposed to herbicides while serving in Vietnam. About one in five VA patients has the condition.
Symptoms of diabetes include blurry vision, excessive thirst, fatigue, frequent urination, hunger, and weight loss. Persons with diabetes need to have their hemoglobin A1C levels checked every three to six months.
A1c is a measure of average blood glucose during the previous two to three months. It is one of the markers, along with blood pressure and cholesterol control, of good diabetes care.
VA researchers are studying innovative strategies and technologies, including group visits, telemedicine, peer counseling, and Internet-based education and case management, to enhance access to diabetes care and to improve outcomes for patients.
In addition, VA researchers are working to develop better ways to prevent or treat diabetes, especially in special populations such as the elderly, amputees, minorities, spinal cord injured patients, and those with kidney or heart disease.
VA's Diabetes Quality Enhancement Research Initiative (QUERI), located in Ann Arbor, Mich., is committed to research and collaborations that promote the use of effective care strategies to help Veterans with diabetes, and those at risk for the disease, to live longer and better lives.
Diabetes is a chronic disease in which the body cannot produce or properly use insulin. Normally, insulin brings sugar out of the bloodstream and into cells. If the body cannot make insulin or does not respond to it, the sugar stays in the blood where it damages blood vessels and organs.
There are three major types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood. In this type of diabetes the body makes little or no insulin, so daily injections of insulin are needed.
Type 2 diabetes usually occurs in adults. In this type of diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal, often because the body does not respond well to insulin. More than 90 percent of adults with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. More are at risk due to overweight or obesity.
The third type of diabetes is gestational diabetes, high blood glucose that develops during pregnancy in a woman who does not have diabetes.
Diabetes affects about one million Veterans within the VA health care system, nearly 20 percent of VA's patient population. The disease is also the leading cause of blindness, end-stage renal disease, and amputation for VA patients.
VA researchers are seeking better ways to prevent and treat diabetes, especially in special populations such as the elderly, minorities, those with amputations or spinal cord injuries, and those with kidney or heart disease.
Two of VA's three Nobel laureates have done important work to benefit Veterans with diabetes. The late Rosalyn S. Yalow, PhD, received the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1977 for her work in discovering the radioimmunoassay, an extremely sensitive way to measure insulin and other hormones in the blood. The technique made possible major advances in diabetes research and in diagnosing and treating hormonal problems related to growth, thyroid function, and fertility.
Andrew V. Schally , PhD, MDhc, DSc, who also received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 1977 for his discovery that the hypothalamus links the nervous system to the endocrine system via the pituitary gland, is currently doing research, along with teams of national and international researchers, on growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH). Among other possibilities opened up by Schally's work with GHRH is the possibility of reducing or eliminating the need for diabetics to regularly inject insulin.
In 2013, an international research team of which Schally was a part devised a way to transplant healthy cells into the body without the usual risk of rejection. The study involved a middle-aged man with diabetes, but it may be relevant to a range of other diseases as well. The researchers developed what amounts to an artificial pancreas (the place where the body makes insulin), which the patient tolerated well without taking drugs to suppress the immune system.
For seven and a half years, researchers involved in a VA cooperative study (CSP 465) looked at nearly 1,800 patients with diabetes. The study's researchers examined cardiovascular disease, the cause of death in nearly two-thirds of all patients with diabetes.
Researchers attempted to determine whether intensive glucose control (using medication and other methods to reduce the level of sugar in the blood in diabetic patients to levels that would be normal in patients without diabetes) reduced heart attacks, strokes, and death from cardiovascular disease.
It had been previously shown that improvements in blood pressure and cholesterol levels can reduce cardiovascular disease in patients with diabetes, but no previous study had shown the beneficial effects of glucose control on cardiovascular disease.
VADT researchers showed that intensive glucose control in patients whose type 2 diabetes had previously been poorly controlled had no significant effect on the rates of major cardiovascular events such as coronary artery disease and stroke, compared to those who were using standard glucose control measures.
The research team also found that the two groups of patients had similar death rates, and that both groups had similar levels of complications such as diabetic neuropathy and retinopathy, except that patients using standard glucose control measures had higher levels of albumin in their urine. (Albumin in the urine is a possible indicator of kidney disease.)
Trial researchers concluded that both very high and very low blood sugar levels can be dangerous, and that big swings between high and low levels are also potentially harmful.
In 1996, a team of VA researchers conducted a test that determined an implantable insulin pump offers better blood sugar control, weight control, and quality of life for adult-onset diabetes than multiple daily injections. They found that both therapies reduced total cholesterol and C-peptide (a byproduct created when insulin is introduced) levels similarly.
In 2012, researchers from the San Francisco VA Medical Center, the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), and the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research found that almost half of the 13,000 adults with type 2 diabetes they studied reported acute and chronic pain, and close to one-quarter reported neuropathy (nerve damage), fatigue, depression, sleep disturbance, and physical and emotional disability.
Another San Francisco VAMC/UCSF study, completed in 2013, found that diabetics with an episode of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) were twice as likely than other older adults to be later diagnosed with dementia, and that those who developed dementia were three times as likely to later experience low blood sugar. Stroke, heart attack, and high blood pressure did not factor into the relationship.
A study conducted by researchers at the Puget Sound VA medical center that was part of the joint VA-Department of Defense Millennium Cohort Study on the health of service members and Veterans, found that sleep apnea and poor sleep quality predicted diabetes, independent of other diabetes risk factors or mental health status.
Sleep apnea increased the risk of diabetes by 78 percent, and simply having trouble sleeping increased the risk of diabetes by 21 percent. The study included more than 47,000 service members and Veterans who were an average age of about 49.
Finally, VA researchers in 2013 stopped a large multicenter study, part of the Veterans Affairs Nephropathy in Diabetes Study (NEPHRON-D), before its scheduled conclusion. They found that the combination of an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor and an angiotensin-receptor blocker (ARB) increases the risk for serious adverse effects in patients with diabetic nephropathy, the leading cause of chronic kidney disease in the United States.
The significant increase in risk caused by taking the combination of drugs overshadowed any benefits taking the drugs may have in reducing the progression of kidney disease.
A team of VA and Stanford University researchers is conducting a point-of-care study involving more than 3,000 Veterans with diabetes. In a point-of-care study, volunteers are enrolled within the framework of their visits to their regular health care providers.
The providers draw on data from electronic medical records to determine if a patient is right for a study. Patients who consent to take part are randomly placed into one of two groups, and continue to receive care from their usual providers.
The current study compares two methods of administering insulin to hospitalized Veterans, and it is fully integrated into VA's electronic health system. The system is tracking which of the two treatments is associated with shorter hospital stays.
Eventually, the system's software will begin to direct more patients into the treatment that is proving more effective, allowing evidence from the trial to be incorporated into everyday practice quickly and inexpensively.
VA researchers are participating in a five-year National Institutes of Health study to compare the long-term benefits and risks of four diabetes drugs in combination with metformin. The study, called the Glycemic Reduction Approaches in Diabetes (GRADE) trial, is expected to include some 5,000 participants nationwide.
Metformin is the first medication doctors typically use when treating type 2 diabetes. If metformin does not control the disease, doctors may add one of several other drugs, all of which have been shown to lower blood sugar levels in studies. However, no previous long-term study has focused on which drug combination works best and has the least side effects.
The four drugs being studied are sulfonylurea, dipeptidyl peptidase-4 inhibitor, glucagon-like peptide-1 agonist, and long-acting insulin. Patients are currently being enrolled for the study at VA medical centers in Atlanta, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Denver, Honolulu, Miami, Omaha, San Diego, and Seattle.
