Hello everyone!Jan 12, 2011 Dragon Age Fan Group News 1 comment
Hello and welcome to the group. This is just my welcome letter for people who joined (or are going to join) this DA fan group.
This is the Fan group for all Dragon Age fans out there. Here you can post all your pictures, videos, news, your opinions and almost everything about the Dragon Age Universe.
Hello and welcome to the group. This is just my welcome letter for people who joined (or are going to join) this DA fan group.
Surprised this group doesn't have more activity now that Dragon Age: Inquisition is well on it's way to being released. I for one am cautiously optimistic. Don't want to get hyped like I did with DA2. That game depresses me.
Saw the trailer .. pretty awesome ...going to to try to gt this game now.
DA III, "Hell! It's about time!)
DA Origins and Awakening were both good games (however BG2 is still better ) and I enjoyed them a lot.
DA2 was a miserable failure as a RPG game.
This group could use a defibrilator!
C'mon fellow Dragon Age fans post and promote!
Only 29 members? Mass Effect's group has more...we need to post news.
"Blasphemy! Taste my blade!" Said King Templar angrily as he drew his blade.
"Crowley! Get in here and help me stop these mages!"
"Sure thing boss." Said Crowley as he drunkenly staggered over to King Templar.
King Templar prepares to strike The Dark Lord Peter who is in the process of conjuring a fireball spell. Suddenly, both halt their actions and slowly turn their gaze to the left where Crowley has spilled ale into The Lowland General's cake.
"You fool Crowley! What have you done?!" Said both King Templar and The Dark Lord Peter. Moments later and The Lowland General appears licking his lips in anticipation for his cake only to see that ale has been spilled into it and well...what follows next can't be written in words or on Moddb for it would be removed.
The End.
This is why, we cut out mage tongues and put them on leash.
Still pretty gross, mate.
Oh shut it, sardine can (I'm kidding, of course).

Selected Between The Lines Radio Newsmagazine audio recordings from: The International Forum on Globalization's conference, Oct. 25, 2014, Cooper Union, New York City
Listen to Ralph Nader's 75 min. talk and interview about his new book, "Unstoppable: The Emerging Left-Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State" at Barnes and Noble, Milford, Connecticut. Nader makes a compelling case for left-right alliances on majoritarian issues that progressives and conservatives agree on, acknowledging that individuals feel all too often that they are powerless against the big power structure. He notes that issues such as school prayer, reproductive rights and gun control are issues that the power structure depends on to keep the majority divided. The minimum wage, breaking up the big banks, Pentagon audits, health care, campaign finance reform, corporate tax inversions, Net Neutrality, fracking and GMOs are just a few examples of left-right issues discussed with the audience. He says just a fraction of the left and right – working together – can make a huge "unstoppable" political realignment in passing legislation, despite the "ick factor" of working with those whose other views they don't always agree with.
Listen to Ralph Nader's short interview on current events with Scott Harris before the booksigning.

Interview with Johanna deGraffenreid, organizer with the Alliance for Appalachia's Economic Transition Summit, conducted by Melinda Tuhus
In mid-December, a coalition of 15 grassroots groups calling itself the Alliance for Appalachia hosted an Economic Transition Summit dubbed, "Planning for Appalachia's Bright Future." At the gathering in West Virginia participants discussed opportunities to develop new economic models in Central Appalachia beyond coal mining.
These days, more coal is produced in open pit mines in Wyoming than in all Appalachian states combined. Both coal production and employment in the coal sector continue to decline in central Appalachia, which encompasses the states of Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee and North Carolina. The 15 groups and 50 individuals who attended the summit meeting share a common agenda: to end mountaintop removal coal mining, halt destructive coal technologies and build a just and sustainable Appalachia.
Prior to the conference, the Alliance for Appalachia conducted a listening project among its 15 member groups as well as other local Appalachian organizations, labor unions and federal agencies to explore the potential for regional-level collaboration to work toward the goal of achieving environmental and economic justice in Appalachia. After the conference, Between The Lines' Melinda Tuhus spoke with Johanna deGraffenreid, an Alliance for Appalachia organizer. Here, she talks about some of the projects that were discussed and next steps to move strategic plans toward action.

Sabres earn comeback win
In Watervliet, Schalmomt came back from a 20-0 deficit to beat the Cannoneers for the first time in several decades.
"We just seem to like to spot (teams) 20 points," said Schalmont coach John Gallo, whose Sabres posted a comeback win against Fonda-Fultonville Oct. 6.
Ryan Donadio led the comeback by rushing for 196 yards and three touchdowns. His 19-yard scoring run in the fourth quarter put the Sabres ahead for good.
Schalmont concluded the season with a 3-6 record, and Gallo gets most of his starters back for next season.
"We've got a really young team, so it's a good win to build on," said Gallo. "I was happy with how we finished the season.""

|A Special Time to Grow and Learn
|Term 4 2014
Unit: Over the Rainbow
All About Zoomers
The pre-prep year is a special time to grow and learn. Zoomers kids are becoming independent and attend the class without their carer. Classes offer an intentional introduction to visual art techniques and experiences, in a fun and often noisy environment.
The Zoomers curriculum follows the Scribblers themes, and includes stories, drama and games, but has additional elements suitable for the older pre-schooler.
Drawing and observational skills are developed as motor skills mature. A Zoomers class could see us mixing colours or using a variety of tools for drawing and painting.
Zoomers learn elementary skills in manipulating clay and plaster, and foundational printmaking techniques.
Zoomers Art Class
Term 4 classes begin from Monday 13th of October.
Rainbows filled with colour inspire us this term. Each week we'll explore a different colour theme. A cool blue day could see us swimming under the sea, while a purple day could see us stomping grapes or painting royal cloaks. This term Zoomers will learn lots about mixing and having fun with colours as we paint, draw, cut, stick, print, and weave colour into our world.
At Flying Fox Studios we offer a free trial lesson for all our term classes (Kindermusik, ZommArt for Kids, & Fox Blocks)
The ZoomArt for Kids curricular is Australian designed, developed, and owned by the educators at Flying Fox Studios. It is not available anywhere else in Australia, and is a unique class experience.

July 2012
by Naeem Farooqi
In previous articles [METRO Magazine: February/March 2012; May 2012], I detailed the costly and disconnected state of materials management across Southern Ontario's transit bus operators. To rectify this issue, I discussed how a business case was developed to consolidate and shift the risk of parts availability onto specialists in transit part sourcing and delivery. Upon obtaining stakeholder approval and conducting a rigorous procurement process, Metrolinx and eight participating transit systems, in partnership with Neopart LLC, commenced their journey into VMI in late 2011. Develop performance indicatorsTo support the introduction of VMI, Metrolinx and eight participating transit systems recognized the importance of building a strong baseline and key performance indicator (KPI) system to track the expected success and improvement of the VMI project. Developing KPIs is critical to ensuring vendor performance can be measured for purposes of contract management, which has not been the case in a number of other VMI projects. As well, the ability to measure savings and improvements was foreseen to be of interest to the municipal councils and boards that transit systems are accountable to.
As such, one of the first deliverables of the project's Steering Committee was to retain the services of a supply chain consultant to develop the KPIs. A joint database was developed by importing 200,000 line items from participants with SKUs, usage and prices dating back one year. Thirteen KPIs were adopted and automated to generate monthly status reports. The primary KPI to measure the vendor's performance was the ability to obtain a perfect order within a target range of 96%.
After consolidating the data, it was determined that 44,500 SKUs existed in the eight-member consortium for more than 26 vehicle models, ranging from cutaways to 60-foot buses. Of note was the magnitude of the aftermarket parts supplier base with 380 vendors involved in the supply chain servicing the needs of the eight transit systems. At the time, the single largest supplier group was comprised of 194 distributors followed by 75 OEMS, 36 consumable material companies and seven bus manufacturers.
Neopart began an extensive process of cross-referencing the parts, as mentioned in previous articles. This consumed a considerable amount of transit staff resources, as stockkeepers were required to provide support in tracking core part manufacturers. Ray Melleady, Neopart's project lead, refers to this as peeling the layers of the onion. The benefits of carrying out the cross-reference along with identifying the mean-failure-rate-per-unit installed has allowed Metrolinx and Neopart to develop a lifecycle cost for a specific part SKU, thereby providing an estimate of its total dollar value over time.
Moreover, as part of its baseline KPI development, Metrolinx examined the last point of shipment distance and carbon footprint of the existing material management process. After investigating over 10,717 packing slips for 12 transit garage locations and cross-referencing supplier addresses, it was discovered that the average distance traveled per part was 283 miles. As part of its implementation plan, Neopart established a hub-and-spoke distribution center in Mississauga, Ontario to service all facilities with three trucks. This allowed the last point of shipment to decrease to 40 miles, on average. Furthermore, consolidated daily shipping translated into 3,240 unique deliveries across the consortium, which meant a reduction of 86% in CO2 emissions. Overall, this means that stockkeeper processing time for deliveries could be reallocated to other productive tasks. Another green initiative introduced by Neopart was a pallet recycling program, with trucks picking up previous day pallets to be reused in shipping.

The Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau approved seven new version of Palcohol this week, including Margarita and Cosmopolitan. In case you're like me and had never heard of this product until today, it's alcohol in powder form.
Consider, that each day, an average of 30 people die in motor vehicle accidents involving an alcohol-impaired driver. The math works out to one death every 48 minutes. Clearly the toll of alcohol goes far beyond deaths in auto accidents and must include the far larger number of those injured as well as the broader evils associated with Alcoholism. When one recognizes the scale of the problem, and reads how AA and other 12-step treatment options have less than a 10% tong-term success rate, it seems difficult to justify making it easier to feed such a habit.
I am not suggesting that there is anything wrong with adults having a few drinks. I can't picture going to a dinner party and having the hosts put away the Malbec and Bordeaux wine or the premium vodka, choosing instead to pour some powder alcohol into a jug of water. Nor does it seem likely that fine restaurants will have a great fear of their customers adding Palcohol to their drinks or food. I don't imagine that will be the source of the problems, but then again, I don't believe that is the group to which they are targeting this product.
Just in case us parents did not have enough of a challenge keeping alcohol out of parties, I think it just got dramatically easier for kids to smuggle alcohol in to any place. I have the good fortune to have an 18 year old son that doesn't drink and hangs out with a group of over-achievers- but I do hear stories, some of which include the ingenuity that teens show when trying to sneak stuff into a party. While a case of beer is not getting past an adults watchful eyes, there is no way I would ever search a teenage girl looking for a small packet of powder; moreover, every girl knows that. Looking to get a teenager's perspective, I showed my son the article and he was dumfounded that the ATF would OK this product.
I must state my concern extends beyond high school kids. Colleges across the country are fighting a battle against binge drinking, Palcohol is just going to pour gas on the fire. Not to give anyone any ideas, but It is easy to picture Fraternities and sororities spoon-feeding this powered alcohol to their pledges. How about a pie-eating-contest where the treats are baked with the stuff, making each slice more potent than a shot of tequila. I afraid if I go one listing potential ways to abuse this product, Palcohol will offer me a job as marketing director. I do understand that individuals have the burden to drink responsibility, and I'm inherently uncomfortable with the government taking on the role of parent; the problem here is this product's ability to bypass many of the gatekeepers that aid in reducing excess. A few examples of obstacles removed include, avoiding the high prices that clubs charge for a drink (How many $12 drinks are you going to buy), and avoiding bartenders obligation not to over-serve customers.
Insurance companies are working with the state to reduce DUI offenses, and it is my fear of additional drunk drivers on the road that motivated me to write this article. My hope is, now that it looks clear that Palcohol will be hitting the shelves, people will us this "Just add water to get high" product in a way that does not increase deaths on our roads. So when the Palcohol website says "One package weighs about an ounce and is small enough to fit into any pocket" and "Take your Pal wherever you go!" that does not include the driver's seat of your car.

Do you have a pending Hearing in Traffic Court?
If you have been stopped for DUI or DWI, the judge will want to see proof of current Auto Insurance, and verification that have your insurance company has filed the required SR22 form with the State Of Illinois.
Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI) are serious violations which can result in you loosing your license, being hit with large fines, or even spending some time behind bars- just ask Lindsey Lohan . So it is important that you avoid getting the behind the wheel after you have been drinking. Clearly, even greater than the penalties handed down by the State, imagine going through life knowing that your momentary bad judgment resulted in injuries or even death.
If you have been stopped it is important that you know your rights, and follow the prescribed path toward getting your license returned. DUI Tickets are often a good time to seek legal representation. Below is a chart that can help identify what constitutes the "Legal Limit" in the state.
How much do you have to drink (BAC*) for a DUI in Illinois?
Under 21 .00% – zero tolerance 21 or older .08% Commercial .04%

New DUI Laws in Illinois -
Laws effecting DUI change, Effective January 1, 2011, Illinois has changed the Unified Code of Corrections providing that those convicted of a DUI accident that occurred on or after the amendment date where the accident was the proximate cause of great bodily harm or permanent shall receive no more than 4.5 days of good conduct credit for each month of the offender's sentence of imprisonment.
Additionally, Illinois increases the amount of technology fees from $500 to $750 usually imposed on first-time offenders who are found guilty or who plead guilty to violating the DUI provision of the Illinois Vehicle Code. Also, Illinois adds a "summary revocation" to the summary suspension procedures. This provides that a person who refuses to submit to alcohol testing following a DUI arrest involving an accident that causes a Type A personal injury (or death) to another will have his or her license revoked summarily on the 46th day following the arrest.
Urban Insurance has specialized in SR22 insurance policies for over 50 years. We'll get your car insurance started quickly, and we'll handle the necessary paperwork and provide you with a Same Day Electronic Filing to the Illinois Secretary of State, as well as provide you proof for any court appearance.

I always found Roger Ebert's film reviews to be informative and insightful, even when I disagreed with his assessment. But his Tweet, in response to the story that TMZ broke concerning Ryan Dunn ("Jackass" film star) and unidentified passenger had died in a car accident after a night of drinking, was perhaps his most accurate review to date. # "Friends don't let jackasses drink and drive."
Yes, I do understand the risk of jumping to conclusions, and I assume Ebert will apologize if information shows the accident was not Ryan Dunn's fault. That said I understand why Ebert would be angry after hearing TMZ's report that Dunn's drinking buddy claims Ryan had at least 3 beers and 3 shots before hitting the road in his Porsche. The police in the Philadelphia suburb of West Goshen, Pa. released a statement that said "excessive speed may have been a contributing factor." I also feel for the Dunn's family and friends, and can understand complaints that people might be too quick to place the blame at his feet; but it was he that chose to put his foot on the gas pedal after a night of heavy drinking.
For me this story has two simple messages, don't "Drink and Drive," and that we all have a moral obligation not to let our friends drive drunk.
According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2004, 16,694 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes. With statistics like that, it is impossible not to take the reckless actions of these stars seriously.
Alcohol-related motor vehicle crashes kill someone every 31 minutes and non-fatally injure someone every two minutes (NHTSA 2006). We must understand that a DUI is a serious offence because of the potential for these actions to end with people lying dead on the side of the road.
According to data from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in 2004, 16,694 people were killed in alcohol-related crashes. With statistics like that, it is easy to see why state legislators are getting calls to mandate equipping cars with breathalyzers and ignition interlock devices.
An ignition interlock device is a sophisticated system that tests a driver's breath to determine one's blood alcohol level. The apparatus requires the driver to blow into a small handheld unit that is attached to a vehicle's dashboard. The alcohol sensor records a digital reading. If a blood alcohol level is above a preset point, then car cannot be started.
The idea of widespread use of such equipment once considered radical, no longer seems out of the question. Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD) gives a qualified endorsement to the idea. Legislation is pending in at least 12 states that would require interlocks for some or all first-time offenders. New York state legislators are considering requiring the devices on all cars and trucks by 2009/
Assemblyman Felix Ortiz, the sponsor of the New York bill is the same lawmaker who also sponsored the first law banning the use of handheld cell phones while driving. When confronted with complaints about the cost (Current breathalyzers cost about $1,000) or invasion of privacy concerns, Ortiz says he heard similar complaints about the cell phone ban and hands-free technology. He compares the criticism to early complaints about mandatory safety belts.
MADD,The National Commission Against Drunk Driving (NCADD), and others trying to reduce the estimated 17,000 alcohol-related fatalities a year say ignition interlock devices are the only certain way to divide potential drunken drivers from their "weapons."
"If the public wants it and the data support it, it is literally possible that the epidemic of drunk driving could be solved where cars simply could not be operated by drunk drivers," says Chuck Hurley, CEO of MADD, which is hosting its first conference on drunken-driving technology in June.
"What a great day that would be."
Currently there are approximately 70,000 ignition interlocks are on vehicles, the lions share of them are ordered by the courts for repeat drunken-driving offenders.
A former National Transportation Safety Board official, Barry Sweedler, has been working with automakers to place the wiring for ignition interlock devices in all cars there by making it easier to install the devices. Once interlocks can automatically check alcohol levels without any action from drivers, Sweedler believes they should be standard equipment in all cars.
Many of the companies offer car insurance are also interested in the application of such technology but have not yet backed the idea of requiring it as standard equipment.
Opposition to Breathalyzers
As you can well imagine, there has been vast opposition to mandating that all cars be equipped with such devices. Civil libertarians complain that such devices installed in cars owned by people who have not been convicted of an DUI offense, is simply unconstitutional.
Plans to mandate universal use of such devices cause John Doyle, executive director of the American Beverage Institute, recoil. "This campaign is a lot further down the pike than people realize," says Doyle. (American Beverage Institute is funded by chains including Outback Steakhouse and Chili's and is leading the opposition to broader use of interlock devices.)
What happens if your car stalls in the middle of traffic? Would the motorist have to blow again before being able to start the vehicle? Ignition-interlock.com reports that a driver must wait 30 seconds before starting the car in order to achieve an accurate reading.
"What about people who suffer from asthma?" "Will all users physically be able to handle the stress of taking a Breathalyzer on a regular basis?" Marietta Carr displayed similar concern to KRQE News 13."I understand why the courts would require drivers convicted of DUI, especially repeat offenders to install such devices, but I don't drink and drive; so there is no valid reason to force me to put one in my car", states Alan Craine, Telecommunications executive.
Some people just never learn. That clearly was the case for Jo A. Trilling who was arrested for drunken driving three times in three days . According to The Sheboygan Press, the 60-year-old woman had been on vacation in Wisconsin at the time of all three arrests.
The first time was after an officer saw her driving her car out of a ditch. You would think that after being caught driving with a blood alcohol at near 3 time the legal limit would be enough to put the "Fear of God" into her for at least 6 months, but in less than 24 hours again she was caught driving drunk. Confronted by the officer her response was
"I am still finishing up the box of wine in my car from yesterday."
While one can debate whether it ever makes sense to drinking "Wine from a Box," there is no debate that you should not be drinking it while driving. But even this second arrest did not have the desired deturent effect. The third time in 3 days, finally ended whith the woman being sent to jail for one month.
Here in Illinois, As of 01/01/09 there is a New Drunk Driving law- those found Guilty of DUI must install a breath-testing device in their car.
"This is a new and innovative approach to deal with a very serious traffic safety issue," said Secretary White. "Statistics show breath alcohol ignition interlock devices are very effective in preventing subsequent DUI offenses. As Secretary of State, my office will continue to do everything within its power to make the roads of Illinois as safe as possible."
Let's all hope that Jo A. Trilling has an Epiphany while in jail, and quits drinking.
Urban Insurance has specialized in writing SR-22 policies for the past 4 decades. SR22 is actually the name of the form used by insurance companies to notify the Secretaryof State that the insured is now in compliance with the court mandate. It also binds the insurance company to send proper notice in the event that the policy gets cancelled.

New Drunk Driving New law
As of 01/01/09 those found Guilty of DUI must install a breath-testing device in their car.
Governor Rod Blagojevich signed Legislation that cracks down on drunk drivers, and aims to prevent those convicted of DUI from even being able to start their car before passing blood alcohol level test.
The new law was the result of a joint effort of Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), working with Secretary of State Jesse White, and the legislation's sponsors: Senator John Cullerton (D-Chicago) and Representative Robert Molaro (D-Chicago).
The law requires all first-time DUI offenders who wish to obtain driving relief during the period of statutory summary suspension to install on their vehicles a breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID). Motorists are required to blow into the BAIID, which measures their blood alcohol content levels.
"This is a new and innovative approach to deal with a very serious traffic safety issue," said Secretary White. "Statistics show breath alcohol ignition interlock devices are very effective in preventing subsequent DUI offenses. As Secretary of State, my office will continue to do everything within its power to make the roads of Illinois as safe as possible."
"We will not tolerate drunk drivers on our streets," Blagojevich said.
From their August 24, 2008 Press Release:
Jesse White and MADD's Innovative DUI Legislation Signed Into Law Legislation that cracks down on drunk drivers was signed into law today by Governor Rod Blagojevich. The new law is the result of joint efforts among Mothers Against Drunk Driving (MADD), Secretary of State Jesse White, and the legislation»s sponsors: Senator John Cullerton (D-Chicago) and Representative Robert Molaro (D-Chicago).
The law requires all first-time DUI who wish to obtain driving relief during the period of statutory summary suspension to install on their vehicles a breath alcohol ignition interlock device (BAIID). Motorists are required to blow into the BAIID, which measures their blood alcohol content levels. The device is designed to prevent DUI offenders from driving after having consumed alcohol.
"This is a new and innovative approach to deal with a very serious traffic safety issue," said Secretary White. "Statistics show breath alcohol ignition interlock devices are very effective in preventing subsequent DUI offenses. As Secretary of State, my office will continue to do everything within its power to make the roads of Illinois as safe as possible."
New Mexico implemented a similar law nearly two years ago and experienced in the first year a 12 percent reduction in alcohol related-fatalities. Moreover, studies show BAIIDs are effective in reducing subsequent offenses by up to 90 percent while on the vehicle.
"This is one of the most important pieces of DUI legislation passed in Illinois in several years because ignition interlocks stop vehicles from being driven by those who are drunk," said Glynn Birch, national president of MADD. "Illinois continues to raise the bar for other states. MADD applauds the state of Illinois for protecting its motorists from the dangers of drunk driving."
The law also increases the length of the statutory summary suspension from three months to six months for those offenders that failed the breath alcohol test at time of arrest and from six months to 12 months for those offenders that refused the breath alcohol test at time of arrest.
In addition, the law eliminates Judicial Driving Permits (JDPs) for first-time DUI offenders, and instead requires those offenders who wish to drive to install the BAIID before driving relief is granted. DUI offenders will be monitored during the entire time the BAIID is installed in their vehicles.
DUI offenders who cause death, great bodily harm, are under age 18 or have a prior conviction of reckless homicide are ineligible for driving relief.
"I would like to commend MADD for this initiative," said White. "They are working to enact similar legislation throughout the country in an effort to prevent the senseless tragedies caused by drunk driving."
The law goes into effect January 1, 2009.

Doctor Who meets Primeval?
The more we hear about the Doctor Who Series 6 finale, the stranger it gets.
Latest filming details reveal one of the scenes is set in some sort of alternate reality (which would explain the Romans). There are a bunch of kids in Hyde Park – one of them is young Rory (Ezekiel Wigglesworth)! Then, they see a pterodactyl in the sky and run away screaming. They should have read the sign!
So we've got younger versions of characters, Romans, dinosaurs, Winston Churchill, futuristic soldiers and who knows what else? Could it get any stranger?
Huge thanks to Timeboy.

text: Planet Dumbassnotion by Gary Graham 27 Apr 2009 post a comment Share This: The City of Riverside, California today announced a new plan, in light of the high volume of foreclosed homes, that it was going to start buying foreclosed home, fix them up, and resell them to 'the needy'. Isn't that nice? The city government in that lovely southern California town is going to do something to 'make a difference'. Using tax payers dollars, they are going to enter the house-flipping industry in the midst of possibly the most disastrous housing market on record. Uh...say what?? Okay. Here again I find myself having awakened on the parallel-universe planet of Dumbassnotion - a delightful world where reason and logic are turned upside-down and everything you know is completely wrong. But let's play this one out. In order for this to happen, Riverside city government must hire someone to find the foreclosed houses and conduct the real estate deal. Escrow documents, realtor fees, etc, etc. A lot of stuff has to happen for the city to take possession of the distressed properties. Then, some sort of contractor must be hired to assess the property and determine how to fix it up and present it for sale. Then the contractor must hire sub-contractors to come in and do the actual fix-'em-up work. Painters, dry-wallers, carpenters, electricians, carpet cleaners, plumbers, landscapers, etc. Then, the realtor has to find the buyers, in this case 'the needy'. People who 'need' a home, but can't afford to buy one on their own. Never mind how one actually qualifies as 'needy', or whether if someone who is simply 'wanty' makes the cut. (I never could figure the distinction between 'needy' and 'wanty'. Maybe it should be a question for the Miss U.S.A. Pageant.) Let's just assume that one has to offer proof that they need a home and are deficiently qualified to get the home that they are completely unqualified to buy. Hmmm...this sounds vaguely familiar. Haven't we seen this sort of thing just recently? I'm thinking Freddie Mac...Fannie Mae...Chris Dodd...Barney Frank...Pelosi-Reid Disease.... And could any of this plan in Riverside possibly have anything to do with the $25 Billion of taxpayer dollars Diane Feinstein gave to the FDIC...days before she awarded that very lucrative contract to her husband's firm, C.B. Richard Ellis to dispose of foreclosed homes? I'm probably just being cynical. And I forgot - I'm on the alien planet of Dumbassnotion! You see -- on the planet of Dumbassnotion, the cities use taxpayers' dollars to take houses that people couldn't afford to pay for, fix them up, and then sell them to people who can't afford to pay for them. Oh yeah, you betcha. On the planet of Dumbassnotion, this is hope and change you can believe in. Now understand... I have no problem with 'the needy'. God bless 'em, I pray they can pull themselves up by their own bootstraps, find work, support their families ...and find a way to stop being 'needy'. Needy is not admirable, virtuous, or even fun. I know, I was 'needy' for a few years, I looked for work, got frustrated, felt sorry for myself, lit up a spleef, got depressed, and gave up. Then I realized I was dancing with the wrong monkeys, hanging with the wrong crowd, listening to the wrong influences. I changed my lifestyle, started thinking better of myself and reading books that encouraged me to think big, exercise my creativity and dare to believe that I can accomplish something in this life. It's tough work being positive when faced with a mountain of negative situations. Everyone's story is different; I wrote a book about mine: but it's within that gut-numbing crucible of hardship and adversity that your character is forged. Plus...who wants to be 'needy'? In my dating years I remember the first moment I sensed that the girl I was with was 'needy'. Flashing red lights went off behind my eyes and a loud claxon would sound inside my skull - WARNING! CLASS-FIVE CLINGER! And my back-pedal would turn to a dead-run sprint for my life. Hey, life is tough. Full of ups and downs. Family, church, community, friends... they're there to support and console. But more importantly, you...Mr. or Ms. Needy...you can do it! Yes you can! The object of the game is to work hard, (it ain't easy, nobody is saying it's easy); do something creative, don't give up, you can contribute to society -- work your butt off -- but get so that you are no longer 'needy'. There, enough pep talk. Get your butts in gear and get on with it. Stop expecting everyone to feel sorry for you and do things for you. Do things for yourself! But I do have compassion. I do have sympathy. I have sympathy for those poor taxpaying bastards in the city of Riverside, California, who are called upon not only to provide for their own families in this bad economic climate; now they must also pony up and buy houses for a bunch of welfare cases. Hope they at least send you a Christmas card. I live in Villaraigosa's Los Angeles. I feel your pain. "But think of the benefits, Gary! All those people the program will employ. And we'll get those distressed homes off the market and stabilize the economy." Reality check: The market will stabilize -- if the government leaves it alone for ten minutes! Why are our elected officials so obsessed with doing stuff!? Stop doing things, the economy will recover, if you'd just stop doing things to it!! "Ahh...but it's their job," you say, "They were elected to serve the people." Yes, but if history has taught us anything, it's that a government governs best that governs least. Governments in business don't turn profits, they suffer losses. A business that suffers losses does not expand, it contracts, tightens up, consolidates, lays off employees. A government does just the opposite. The more they lose, the more they expand, hire employees, boost benefits, and broaden their activity. It defies the physics of business...so they simply raise taxes. (And they will continue to do so until the participants are no longer willing to play the game. Read, tax revolution.) On the planet of Dumbassnotion the purpose of government is to take care of the people. Not to protect them so that they can take care of themselves. The government does everything for them on the planet of Dumbassnotion. Because it's a new day, a new dawning. They don't have to think for themselves, they only have to Believe. They don't have to work, they only have to Hope. Needy or not needy, it doesn't matter -- It's Change we need, dontcha know. Whatever happened to the anachronistic notion of working hard and saving for what you want before you actually get it? Whatever happened to personal responsibility and pride? Whatever happened to teaching our children that if you want something in life you must work for it because nobody is going to hand it to you; and if you want to be someone in life you have to respect other people and their rights to their own property; and you must work hard to fulfill your own dreams? We live in a country with the highest standard of living, the most freedom, liberty, and the greatest array of opportunity for upward mobility in the world. And still we bitch and moan that life's not fair? That our government needs to do something, needs to take care of us? Have we turned into a nation of pussies? As a 150-yr-old Vulcan friend of mine would say... "That's not logical." I feel like a dinosaur, scheduled for extinction. Oh but, I forgot...things are different back home on Planet Earth. Aren't they?

Sclerosing conditions of the skin are manifested by a full spectrum of presentations that includes skin-limited forms as well as those which can involve internal organs and result in death. At this point, we are just beginning to understand the mechanisms of tissue fibrosis, and it is likely that the fibrotic processes are a heterogeneous group of disorders in which perturbation of multiple molecular pathways, including vascular and immunologically mediated pathways, can lead to fibrosis. We now have some moderately effective therapies for vascular aspects of systemic sclerosis (eg, bosentan for pulmonary arterial hypertension, calcium-channel blockers for Raynaud's, or angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors for renal crisis). We also are beginning to find treatments interrupting the immunologic pathways that manifest as systemic sclerosis (eg, methotrexate for the skin or cyclophosphamide for the lungs). The basic process of fibrosis, however, awaits proven, effective therapy.

Sophomore C Emily Pohl went 2-for-2 with two solo home runs and two walks on Sunday
April 22, 2012
By Meredith Danner
Athletic Media Relations
FORT COLLINS, Colo. – The Colorado State softball team took the first two games against Mountain West-rival Boise State over the weekend, but on Sunday they lost the chance to complete the sweep and fell to the Broncos, 11-7, at Ram Field.
The Rams finished the day with a 22-22 overall record and a 2-4 record in conference action. By winning the first two matchups, CSU also won the season series against the Broncos. Boise State picked up its 30th victory of the year (30-15 overall) and improved its MW record to 4-2.
Despite the loss in the final game, CSU Head Coach Jen Fisher was pleased with the way the team rebounded from a sweep at the hands of San Diego State last weekend to take two of three from Boise State.
"It's really important for us to know that we can win," Fisher said. "The work ethic was there, the preparation was there. We just couldn't quite execute and get it done in San Diego, but we were so close in all three games. I was really proud of the way they bounced back. They came back hard this week and really put together a good week of practice. It seems to me like we keep getting better, and that's really the most important thing to us as coaches."
CSU hit four home runs in the game, matching a single-game high set on March 3 in Fort Collins against Saint Mary's. Sophomore Emily Pohl (2-for-2) was responsible for two of the four homers, including a solo shot to lead off the second inning and give the Rams a 1-0 lead. Pohl hit another solo home run in the fourth and walked twice, increasing her season walk total to a team-high 36.
Senior Lyssa Roberts (2-for-3) also contributed to the home run effort with a two-run homer in the fourth. Roberts went 5-for-9 in the series with BSU, including five RBI and the team's eighth triple of the season, which she hit in the second inning on Sunday.
CSU's home run-leader, sophomore Chelsea Biglow, extended her season total to eight with a solo jack to left-center field to lead off the sixth. Biglow also came around from first on the Roberts home run.
CSU junior Kacie McCarthy and Boise State senior Aubray Zell, who were named MW Co-Pitchers of the Week on March 27, went head-to-head in a rematch of Friday's game, in which McCarthy picked up her 13th win. Zell gave up four earned runs and struck out five CSU batters in four innings of work to get the win in the series finale.
"I think to knock out their ace two times (in the series) was huge for us and I'm very proud of the way we're swinging the bat," Fisher said.
The Rams led, 4-2, going into the top of the fifth, but the Broncos answered back with five runs off of McCarthy, including a bases-clearing double from BSU's Holly Bourke. McCarthy gave up six total earned runs and received her eighth losing decision of the year.
Junior Kailey Snyder and senior Kelli Eubanks pitched a combined 2.2 innings of relief. The Broncos scored four additional runs in the sixth, all of which were charged to Snyder.
Facing an 11-6 deficit, the Rams scored their final run in the seventh with a two-out double from sophomore Alysa Greckel (2-for-4) that scored pinch runner Molly Randle from first. Biglow then worked through a 12-pitch at-bat in which she fouled off six pitches total, but ultimately grounded out to end the game.
On Friday, the Rams will continue MW play when they travel to Las Vegas, Nev., to take on UNLV. The Rebels were swept by Boise State last weekend, extending their current losing streak to five games, and are 19-21 overall (0-3 MW). First pitch is scheduled for 7 p.m. MT.
"We talked about all the positives and all the good things that we did (after Sunday's game), and they're already ready to get back after it," Fisher said.

|Duchess In Distress
|Quest Overview
25,000 Exp.
Duchess In Distress is a quest available in Dragon's Dogma.
"After your ill-fated tryst, Aelinore was whisked off to the Northern Manse and locked away. Mirabelle begs you to rescue her."
Infiltrate the Manse
- The Duchess awaits in the Northern Manse. Make use of Mirabelle's disguise (the Set of Royal Guard Armor) and infiltrate the premises through the front gate.
Escape the Manse
- Protect Aelinore from harm en route to the exit.
Quest Successful
- Escape through the Manse's rear exit with Aelinore and reunited her with Mirabelle.
WARNING: Posssible Quest Failure
- Complete this mission BEFORE finishing Deny Salvation or killing the guards. Other conditions may also trigger quest failure for the XBox 360 version, however that issue seems to be patched in the Dark Arisen expansion. The guards may be killed once the Arisen has reached Aelinore, without consequence.
- This quest only becomes available after completing it's prerequisite quest Arousing Suspicion, and after completing Reward and Responsibility (when the Duke opens the Treasury room).
Accepting the quest:
- This quest becomes available after speaking with the Duke and accepted the quest Deny Salvation (after he opens the Treasury room).
- She's easy to miss, but Aelinore's maid Mirabelle can be found outside of the Castle to the left of the stairs if facing the front (or near the right side staircase while exiting the Manse). She will mention that she fears the Duke will have Aelinore killed and asks the Arisen to save her. She will hand over a Set of Royal Guard Armor and describe her plan to bring Aelinore back to their homeland of Meloire.
Infiltrate the Manse:
- Head to the Duke's Manse, northeast of Hillfigure Knoll. In order to gain entrance through the front gate, the Arisen must equip the Set of Royal Guard Armor given by Mirabelle (The back gate is locked until completion of the quest). Pawns cannot enter the Manse with the Arisen.
- Head to the top of the Manse. Aelinore is in the upper most room. A cutscene will show the Arisen and Aelinore embracing as they fall onto the bed.
Escape the Manse:
- After the cutscene, Silk Lingerie may be gathered from the bed (does not re-spawn upon subsequent visits). Escort Aelinore back towards the front door and slay all the guards. Aelinore will declare that the front door is too dangerous and will open a locked gate leading to the rear exit. There is no way to exit through the front gate at this time (although the front gate will be a viable exit for any return visits the Arisen makes to the Northern Manse).
- Proceed with Aelinore through the underground and slay all the hostile Bandits within. The Arisen may carry her if so desired over certain areas (although like any other NPC escorted by the Arisen, she will safely "teleport" nearby if she falls too far behind).
- Near the middle of the sewers, the Arisen's pawns will show up to help dispatch more hostile Bandits as the Arisen traverses a few bridges en route to the exit.
Quest Successful:
- Upon exiting the sewers a cutscene will show Aelinore leaving with Mirabelle (who has now lost her French accent). Aelinore's parting gift is the rare material Love-In-The-Rough.
- Upon leaving the Manse through the rear entrance, a Chimera will be waiting to engage the Arisen. This area will normally spawn another Chimera every 3 (in-game) days.
Some items are guaranteed to be found, while others are random loot. The Arisen may return to the Northern Manse through the rear entrance at will after completing this quest. All chests and loot will re-spawn after 7 in-game days.
- Set of Royal Guard Armor
- Recluse's Robe
- Lady's Corset
- Nobelwomen's Corset
- Raptor Cuisses
- Maiden's Petticoat
- Assailant's Bracers
- Summery Cowl
- Golden Egg
- Rooted Gloom
- Bastard Sword
- Red Over-Knee Boots
- Silk Lingerie
- Free-Spoken Earring
- Maiden's Camisole
- Striker's Greaves
- Plucked Heart
- Hydra Tactics
- Evil Eye Strategy Vol. 1
- Cast Stone
- Alchemickal Hosen
- Snakeskin Purse
- Aelinore is a very sturdy princess. Regardless of how many arrows she gets shot with or slashes she absorbs from longswords, her health bar never displays any damage whatsoever. The only real way to fail this quest once the Arisen is inside the manse is to attack the guards before reuniting with Aelinore in her bedchamber.
- Aelinore's gift (Love-In-The-Rough) can upgrade the Set of Royal Guard Armor to level three stars. However, it might be best to create a forgery of the item before using it as it can be applied to other equipment as well. Love-In-The-Rough is a unique one-per-playthrough item.
- After completing the quest, the Arisen may re-enter the Manse and find Bandits in the sewers. Specters and Goblins with Hobgoblins will be within the Manse itself.
- Once this quest is accepted, it can be cancelled/failed if the Arisen speaks to The Dragonforged right after Deny Salvation. If the Arisen wishes to speak to The Dragonforged, make sure this quest is not active during the conversation.
- If attempting to fill out all of the map stars for the Main Pawn, remember to return to the Manse after completing this quest. Since pawns did not accompany the Arisen into some parts of the Northern Manse they did not gain knowledge about most of the area.
- Contrary to popular belief, Aelinore will NOT automatically become your Beloved after finishing this quest, it will just give a higher chance as it will possibly max out her Affinity especially since finishing the Arousing Suspicion quest also gives her a large amount of Affinity. In order to drastically reduce the chance of her becoming the Arisen's Beloved, go to her Chamber in the Duke's Demesne and give her a Liquid Effluvium (or using the Sheathe/Unsheathe method) BEFORE starting this quest and have the Arisen's desired love interest at max Affinity with an Arisen's Bond.
- ps3xbox360 Aelinore will sometimes get stuck on ladders.
- This can be fixed by jumping, grabbing her and leaving her on the ground.

Minute Maid Park, Houston, Texas
W: D. Keuchel (2-7)
L: K. Kendrick (9-11)
HOUSTON -- Sitting on 99 losses, the Houston Astros had reason to blare the celebration music in the postgame clubhouse on Saturday night.Lifted by an early lead and a strong start by Dallas Keuchel, Houston blanked the Philadelphia Phillies 5-0 to temporarily avoid a second consecutive 100-loss season.Justin Maxwell hit a two-run home run, and Keuchel pitched 5 1/3 scoreless innings -- allowing five hits and four walks -- for his first win in nearly three months, as the Astros beat Philadelphia for the second time in three games.The Phillies were slowed in their surge for an NL playoff spot for the second time in three games by the worst team in the big leagues. Philadelphia entered the day three games behind St. Louis for the final wild-card spot. The Cardinals played the Dodgers later Saturday.Keuchel (2-7) admitted to being aware of the looming milestone loss but said it didn't affect his performance."Actually, I don't normally pay attention to the wins and losses, but I looked before the game and saw that we had 99 losses," Keuchel said. "But it's nothing I worry about. I just try to do my job and help the team win."It was Keuchel's first win in 11 starts, since his previous victory on June 23 against Cleveland."I'm real happy for Keuchel," Astros manager Tony DeFrancesco said. "He battled out of a couple of tough jams, and I wanted to make sure the kid got a win when he came out. I'm real proud of him."Keuchel struggled with location early, walking two in the first inning as the Phillies loaded the bases. But Keuchel got Ty Wigginton to fly out to end the threat, and Philadelphia stranded eight baserunners through the first four innings."The first inning for him has been a problem so far," DeFrancesco said. "If we can get him confident from when he comes out of the bullpen to when he crosses the line, he can do well."Keuchel escaped another bases-loaded jam in the fourth inning to frustrate the Phillies."He made pitches when he needed to," Phillies catcher Erik Kratz said.In addition to raising Keuchel's confidence, DeFrancesco said he believed victories against teams competing for a spot in the playoffs can bring a much needed morale boost."Today was the day where they all believed in themselves," DeFrancesco said. "Tomorrow is another day. If we can be the spoiler and give our guys some success and confidence, that's what we're looking for."After Keuchel's exit in the sixth, the Houston bullpen held on for the Astros' largest margin of victory in more than a month. The Phillies finished with seven hits and 12 runners left on base.Houston reliever Mickey Storey made his first appearance since taking a line drive to the jaw area in Wednesday's 5-1 loss to Chicago. Storey struck out the only two batters he faced, improving his opponent's batting average to .179 in 19 appearances this season."If there's an unsung hero in that bullpen, I think it has to be Mickey Storey," DeFrancesco said.The Houston bullpen has posted a 3.27 ERA in 52 1/3 innings in September, helping the Astros to a 7-7 record this month.Wesley Wright allowed one hit to Kevin Frandsen with two outs in the ninth inning before getting Chase Utley to ground out to end the game."They had chances, but we made pitches," DeFrancesco said. "The ball went our way today."Kyle Kendrick (9-11) struggled early and was done after just five innings, his shortest outing in more than a month. He gave up four runs on seven hits, including a Maxwell's homer in the first inning. It was Maxwell's 16th home run of the season. Jose Altuve led off the inning with a single.The Phillies blew a 4-0 lead in Friday's 6-4 loss to Houston (47-99) to open the four-game series, a loss that snapped a seven-game winning streak.Altuve, Brett Wallace and J.D. Martinez added RBIs for the Astros, whose 34-23 record against Philadelphia since 2004 is tops in the NL.Altuve drove in Matt Dominguez in the second to make it 3-0 Astros. Wallace drove in a run with a ground-rule double in the fifth inning.
Game notes
Phillies manager Charlie Manuel said he plans to start C Carlos Ruiz every other game beginning Sunday. Ruiz, who pinch-hit Saturday, continues to recover from plantar fasciitis in his left foot, which landed him in the DL last month. . Astros infielder Tyler Greene will start at 2B on Sunday as manager Tony DeFrancesco gives Altuve some much-needed rest. ... SS Jimmy Rollins stole two bases, giving him 29 for the season, including a major league-leading 12 steals of third base.

Research is like a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to find. An assortment of studies on love, sex, and babies — fresh from the lab.
Scientists found that men whose ring fingers are longer than their index fingers are likelier to have longer-than-average penises, at least among Korean men whose flaccid genitals were stretched under anesthesia. Studying the files of women who were raped in 1999-2006, French researchers discovered that there were fewer incidences of living sperm than in rape victims of previous generations, which supports the theory that sperm quality is declining. Women are likelier to get pregnant if they ovulate from their right-side ovary, visible by ultrasound, especially after two consecutive left-side cycles, inspiring women undergoing fertility treatment to desire a L-L-R pattern.
