FREMONT COUNTY - The Department of Defense has given law enforcement agencies in Colorado more than $22 million worth of surplus equipment in recent years and the Florence Police Department has grabbed one of the biggest slices of that pie.
Since 2011, Florence PD has received $3.7 million worth of equipment ranging from M-16 rifles and a Mine Resistant Vehicle to gym equipment and a refrigerator. The listed value of that equipment exceeds the combined $1.9 million value of all the property distributed to law enforcement agencies of Pueblo and El Paso Counties.
Florence Police Chief Michael DeLaurentis says using surplus military equipment is a financial necessity. With just $32,035 in his budget for equipment this year, DeLaurentis couldn't properly equip his officers without the federal largess.
"Up to this year, to be honest with you, the officers provided their own service weapon, their own magazines, their own rifles, their own shotguns," he said. "We didn't provide any of that."
In May of 2012, the department received ten M-16 rifles that have since been modified from full automatic to standard single shot firearms. In early 2013, the department received 16 notebook computers giving officers the ability to receive dispatch calls and file reports from their squad cars.
The hard drives were removed and DeLaurentis said he needed to spend about $100 apiece to make them operable again. However, it was a bargain compared to the DOD's $7,704.83 list price.
It is free equipment and some items are unusable. All six pairs of night vision goggles shipped to Florence last December had broken lenses. Still, DeLaurentis said the equipment acquired through the 1033 Program helped him meet modern police standards.
"We don't look at it as police department that we're trying to militarize at all," he said. "We're just trying to provide the best service to our community and Fremont County and the neighboring agency of Cañon City we can."
The most expensive item to come to town is the $733,000 Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) vehicle. It is shared between the Florence and Cañon City police departments and the Fremont County Sheriff's Office through their combined SWAT team. DeLaurentis said the decision to request the MRAP came down to safety. As a negotiator with the SWAT, he often had to position himself dangerously close to an armed suspect with only his police sedan for cover.
"When you're trying to negotiate with someone who won't answer their cell phone, won't answer their phone, they're standing in their garage and you have to get within so many feet and use a PA from a vehicle; it gets a little bit interesting when they've got a rifle at their feet," DeLaurentis said.
He estimates the MRAP has already been put to use 11 times this year.

Drought, extreme rains and flooding over the past five years have had the greatest influence on farmers' beliefs about climate change, according to the 2013 Iowa Farm and Rural Life Poll. The survey also gathered farmers' concerns about weather-related threats to agriculture and attitudes regarding different types of potential responses to increasing weather variability.
A one-day "Beef Facilities Conference" will be Nov. 21 to share current research findings and discuss building management and cattle performance. Early bird registration ends Nov. 14. Early-bird registration is $40 per person.

text: Speaker Boehner: You Don't Need To Love Romney To Support Him Print article Send a Tip by Wynton Hall 8 Jul 2012 post a comment At a June 30th fundraiser in Wheeling, West Virginia, Speaker John Boehner told the audience of 200-300 that Republicans don't need to love Mitt Romney to get behind him. The comments came in response to a woman asking Mr. Boehner "can you make me love Mitt Romney?" After conflicting versions of Mr. Boehner's exact words, the Speaker's office provided Roll Call with the following version of Mr. Boehner's reply to the woman's question: "No," Boehner said. "Listen, we're just politicians. I wasn't elected to play God. The American people probably aren't going to fall in love with Mitt Romney. I'll tell you this: 95 percent of the people that show up to vote in November are going to show up in that voting booth, and they are going to vote for or against Barack Obama. "Mitt Romney has some friends, relatives and fellow Mormons ... some people that are going to vote for him. But that's not what this election is about. This election is going to be a referendum on the president's failed economic policies. "Mitt Romney believes, just like we do, that if we're going to get the economy back, if we're going to put the American people back to work, we need to fix the tax code, we need to stop the regulatory juggernaut that's going on in Washington and we need to fix our economy. Solid guy, he's going to do a great job, even if you don't fall in love with him." The fundraiser was hosted by Robert Murray, CEO of the Murray Energy Corp.

We always knew that confidence was sexy, but new research out today confirms this really is the case for us Brits. The poll of 1,000 women carried out by QVC reveals that the majority of British women want to exude a look of confidence (65%), over any other trait; including appearing sexy (26%), intelligent (12%) or youthful (3%).
The poll also revealed that the beauty icon that best represents the look of confidence is Jessie J, who is recognised by her strong make-up look with bright lips, colourful eyes and rosy blush. However, 77% of British women admitted they didn't have the courage to pull off such a strong beauty look, opting instead for a more natural appearance like Kate Middleton, whose look 46% of us try to replicate.
QVC's beauty map, created by Dr Chheda Varma, aims to help women create a confident beauty look
The moments that women voted as wanting to look most confident included job interviews, a night out with friends, and a date, with make-up named as the most important tool to nailing a confident appearance. What's more, the results showed that 69% of men voted a confident woman as most attractive to them. Tanned skin was found to be the ultimate confidence boosting make-up fix, closely followed by a bold brow, rosy cheeks and red lips.
QVC psychologist Dr. Bijal Chheda-Varma, explains, "Make-up choice can greatly influence how a woman wants to be perceived by others around her as well as how she feels about her self-confidence. Make-up has been used for centuries to help women enhance aspects of their persona, yet the study shows how many women don't have the courage or knowledge of how to create a confident look."
So has Jessie J discovered the key to beauty confidence? Check out her finest moments in the gallery below...

Don't you wish you had an inside person to help you navigate every new situation? Some of us are fortunate enough to have designated mentors in siblings or parents who have attended CSUN before us. But for those forging a path of their own, we bring you Matador Tips, a series of articles in which we share some secrets of success.
Use the Virtual Library
Instead of physically going to the Delmar T. Oviatt Library the next time you have a research paper to write, visit its website.
The Oviatt Library is as much of a place to hang out as it is a place to study. The spacious and state-of-the-art Learning Commons features amenities such as comfortable seating, whiteboards, collaborative study tables that allow you to connect portable devices to a large-screen monitor and traditional private study rooms that you can book via the website.
However, did you know that many of the materials in the library's physical collection can be digitally accessed? And that the library subscribes to a number of key academic publications and major domestic and international magazines and newspapers that you can search for and reference online?
And did you know the website has invaluable academic writing resources? For this reason, the Oviatt Library website is a go-to guide for fellow Matador Sarah Hernandez.
"I use the website when conducting research or citing my sources," says the senior English major.
Since it may take some exploring before you can utilize all the benefits of the library website, Sarah highlights the three features that she most commonly uses: the Find Articles by Subject, Databases A-Z and Cite Your Sources.
1. Find Articles by Subject
Research papers are a staple for college students. At one point in your undergraduate career, you'll probably be expected to write one. The first time you are assigned a paper, you may feel overwhelmed. However, if you don't know where to begin, a good place to start is Find Articles by Subject.
When Sarah had to write a seven-page paper for her children's literature class, she first went to the Find Articles by Subject feature, located the Search by Subject section and selected the Children's Literature link. The link pulls up a list of academic databases that offer published materials related to the topic of children's literature, even prioritizing them as Most Useful or Also Useful. The search provides contact information for a subject specialist from the Oviatt Library's reference desk.
In addition to looking up source materials, you can also use Find Articles by Subject to brainstorm topics. If you are struggling to come up with a good thesis, Sarah recommends browsing the databases for ideas and bookmarking interesting articles, which you can use toward a paper outline.
2. Databases A-Z
If you already know your way around some academic resources, you can go straight to Databases A-Z, which provides an alphabetized list of all the databases the Oviatt Library subscribes to along with a short description of the articles types that can be found in each database. Databases A-Z can help you easily locate specific databases that you may have used before.
For instance, since Sarah often taps JSTOR for her research papers, she can quickly access it via Databases A-Z. However, she utilizes both Find Articles by Subject and Databases A-Z because the former allows her to discover new sources.
"Since I wanted to use something other than JSTOR, I found Literature Resource Center through Find Articles by Subject," she says.
3. Cite Your Sources
"I use the Oviatt Library's Cite Your Sources for every single research paper," Sarah says.
The Oviatt Library's Cite Your Sources provides formatting tools and guidelines for common academic styles such as Modern Language Association (MLA) and American Psychological Association (APA). This resource is important to Sarah because of the fact that CSUN has a strict anti-plagiarism policy, and the style guide ensures that she'll never accidentally take credit for another person's work.
You can use Cite Your Sources to create and organize your works cited or bibliography pages. There are also links to websites such as Easy Bib, which automatically generate citations for you, giving you one less thing to worry about while writing your research papers.
— Melaney Christy, English major, graduating spring 2014
Think Like a Teacher
Want to score that A+ grade? Here's a wild idea: think like a teacher. Fellow Matadors point out how approaching your studies from an instructor's viewpoint can make you a better student.
Upon entering college, many students struggle because they fall behind. Knowing how to catch up can keep you from getting buried.
Leila Benoun, Nina Kotelyan and Robert Ahdoot are graduate students. They have already gone through the gamut of undergraduate experiences. They are also instructors, so they have participated in the college classroom from the point of view of both student and teacher.
Leila, a linguistics master's student with emphasis on English as a second language, works as a supplemental instructor — teaching her own classes, assisting professors and tutoring at CSUN's Learning Resource Center. Teaching is one way she engages with her course work.
"It helps to explain what you are learning to others," she says.
Leila, Nina and Robert are invested in the ways their peers respond to the curriculum, so they offer advice on how to achieve academic success with lessons from the instructor's perspective.
"Teachers understand you're responsible for your own success," Leila says.
1. Take control of your own success.
As she points out, professors assign a workload with the expectation that students will apply themselves and succeed. Their goal is for students to learn and be able to produce results from what they have learned. Assignments are not so much a test of how well you follow directions but how well you adapt and are accountable for yourself. After all, teachers want you to run a marathon, not a sprint.
Leila's advice: "Pace yourself. Don't take on too much."
For this reason, she discourages cramming. Trying to dump information into your brain all at once is unrealistic, she says, and it doesn't give you room to learn and grow. Instead, she recommends putting knowledge at your command and making it work for you.
"It's about constantly participating and staying engaged," Leila says.
2. Find balance.
Contrary to what some might think, Leila explains, teachers want you to have a life outside the classroom. Balance prevents you from burning out before you reach the finish line. Teachers don't want you to drop out of their classes due to stress. Therefore, she emphasizes work-life balance over any other habit.
"Organize your time," she says. "Balance schoolwork and fun, and stay motivated."
Nina, a master's student in communication studies, teaches the class COMS 151: Introduction to Public Speaking.
She recommends using a calendar and setting up a schedule for work and play.
"For each day," she says, "dedicate a certain number of hours to homework, meals and your job."
And she recommends giving yourself a "me" day.
"During 'me' day, you're allowed to do homework," she says, "But only for two hours so you don't feel like you're falling behind. Then the rest of the time is for you to relax or to reflect."
3. Confront your fears.
Like Nina, Robert is pursuing a master's in communication studies. He used to be a high school teacher for the Los Angeles Unified School District. One thing he observed over the years was how sometimes the mere anticipation of failure can stymie a student. Robert even gave a Tedx Talk about math anxiety as an obstacle to academic success.
"When you are experiencing fear," he explains, "higher-level brain functioning shuts down. It's a proven biological phenomenon."
He recommends confronting the curriculum head on. Review and familiarize yourself with the topics that make you nervous. Look at the syllabus, do the readings and ask the professor what will be covered on the tests. Start your preparations early. Ask questions when the professor is first explaining the assignment, or email or visit the professor during office hours at least a few days to a week and a half before the due date.
Lastly, conquer your anxiety through practice. Robert recommends teaching the subject material, such as in a study group.
"When you teach someone else, it irons out any problems you have with your understanding of the material," he says.
Practice and repetition allow you to grow more confident so that you don't take your anxiety with you on the day of the final exam.

'Spider-Man' robberies in Altamonte Springs linked, police say
For the second time in less than a month, a man wearing a Spider-Man mask robbed an Altamonte Springs store at gunpoint, and police believe the same man is responsible in both crimes.
A masked man carrying a handgun entered the Subway at 954 E. Altamonte Drive around 10 p.m. Tuesday and robbed the restaurant, according to Altamonte Springs police.
WKMG-TV reports no one was injured.
The culprit made off with an undetermined amount of money.
In March, a man wearing a Spider-Man mask and another masked man robbed a 7-Eleven on Lake Destiny Road in Maitland.
The clerk told police a rifle was pointed at her and one of the gunmen slammed her to the ground.
Police said the man wearing the Spider-Man mask in both robberies also wore a hunting-type hat and made similar statements to the clerks.
Detectives will be checking surveillance video at nearby businesses in the area throughout the day.

Wild Arms 3 Walkthrough :
This walkthrough for Wild Arms 3 [Playstation 2] has been posted at 13 Aug 2010 by deacon and is called "Wild Arms 3 Book FAQ". If walkthrough is usable don't forgot thumbs up deacon and share this with your freinds. And most important we have 14 other walkthroughs for Wild Arms 3, read them all!
Walkthrough - Wild Arms 3 Book FAQ
Wild ARMs 3 Book FAQ System - PlayStation 2 Version 1.0 - 11/19/02 By Odin Email - email@example.com ======================= *** VERSION HISTORY *** ======================= Version 1.0 - 11/19/02 First version. ==================== *** INTRODUCTION *** ==================== This FAQ is dedicated to the books you can read in Wild ARMs 3. Books are found on shelves in towns and dungeons through out the game. Books provide info on various things relating to the game. All the books are listed in alphabetical order. Underneath, I've provided the location (town or dungeon) it can be found and what the book says. --------- Adult Mag --------- Location: Leyline Observatory You're not mature enough! Too stimulating for those under eighteen! ------------- Another World ------------- Location: Boot Hill The human brain does not make use of its full potential. There is another world that can still be trapped from the brain. It is possible to study how the brain works through electric signals. The brain is a sea of electric signals where thoughts, memories and dreams are all mererly electric signals reacting. There have been extreme cases where the memory media of information possess a structure similar to the memory storage area of the brain. Therefore, it can be said that dreams are electric signals connecting to the brain, just like projecting an image on screen. Perhaps with further research, it may become possible for the brain to act as the media itself, receiving signals from other external sources. Developing this other world of the brain has just begun. I believe this may open up infinite possibilities. ------------------- ARMs and the Spirit ------------------- Location: Claiborne Those who shoot ARMs must synchronize their spirit with the ARM's makeup. Sometimes, the synchronization is so detailed that is results in the ARM performing well above its specs. That is why results vary when different people shoot the same ARM. Figuratively speaking, An ARM needs to be synchronized as if it were a part of your body. ----------------------- Artifacts Over Memories ----------------------- Location: Leyline Observatory Artifacts left behind from the great war brought about a new power to the human race. Machines capable of activation through the use of will as an extension of oneself... Artifacts from Ruins: Memories Otherwise known as ARMs. Today, ARMs commonly refer to portable machine weaponry, but originally it encompasses the technology used to make them. To this day, no one knows who these memories belong to. But the fact remains, that we have come to depend on its powers. --------------- Beyond Oblivion --------------- Location: Leyline Observatory Demi-humans may look and think like humans, but they are different. Demi-humans called Elws are said to have once existed on Filgaia. These Elws are said to have fought off the demons using the power of guardians. Originally, the Elws were a peaceful race, but lead by the blacksmith warrior Vassim, they fought to save the planet. Other men who were said to have been revered on an epitaph are Fulcanelli, who performed the secret ceremony, and Blavatsky, who had insight about Filgaia. After the end of this bitter war, the Elws vanished, and no one has heard from them again. According to one theory, since the Elws were closely tied with nature, they are believed to have died off from the decay of the planet. Are the Elws extinct? No one knows for sure. The demi-humans Elws have long been forgotten in the pages of history. Perhaps we will remember them, when this planet returns to verdure. ----------------------------- Blazing a Trail to the Future ----------------------------- Location: Ark of Destiny The Order of the Ark of Destiny challenges use to find the path of living. We must consider what we live for here on this unforgiving world of Filgaia. We must become strong, and to help foster strength, we pursue various methods of bolstering our own fortitude. One of these projects is the excavation of ruins. We feel that proper use of relics of the past will help lead us to a better future. We attribute this to the roots of our founder Lamium, who was a Drifter before he formed the Order. In his travels through the wasteland, he discovered that in order to support great ideals, other powers are necessary. We must take the powers responsible for the ravaging of our world and blaze a new trail with them. We, the Order of the Ark of Destiny, scour the vast wasteland for ways to bring about a bright future for all. ---------------- Cheville's Diary ---------------- Location: Humphrey's Peak April 13th, cloudy. Today is the anniversary of Alice's death, but it feels just like any other day. Perhaps time does heal pain... Or am I a pitiless mother? Either way, it's still sad how I don't have a clear-cut sense of my feelings. This wouldn't be troubling me if Alice were still alive today. I would've been too busy running around tending to the needs of a ten year old girl. Still, I cannot help dreaming that Alice will one day return. ----------------------- Disadvantages in Battle ----------------------- Location: Little Twister If you win, you live--if you lose, you die. This is the outcome of every battle you encounter There are many factors that help decide this outcome. At times, you will be faced with adversities in battle where you will be at a disadvantage beyond your control. For example, [ambushed]. This is when the enemy gets to attack first for a certain number of turns. If you get ambushed and you haven't recovered from the previous battle, there is a good chance you will die. Another adversity is [trouble]. This is whne you are singled out from your party and take the brunt of all attacks. This is an extremely dangerous situation to be in. In either case, you will be thrown into battle without a second to react, when you see a red exclamation mark displayed on the screen. This type of battle encounter cannot be cancelled, but you may reduce its frequency with a personal skill. ----------- Dune Canyon ----------- Location: Boot Hill Steer your ship north of the cape where the giant's statue stands, and you'll come to a strait that connects the inland sea and the open seaway. This is also the hunting ground of the monster Balal Quo Naga, where many vessels and Sandcraft meet disaster... Balal Quo Naga used to lurk south of Little Twister near the sunken reefs, but... In recent years, it followed its prey to this strait and made this area its new home. The ferocious monster has shut down scorse of trade routes and has taken the lives of hundreds of sailors. Somebody must do something so the people can get on with their lives... ------------- Duran's Diary ------------- Location: Leyline Observatory She came by again last night. Whenever I'm lost in my labyrinth of contemplation, she reaches out her tiny hands... Who is she? Actually, it may be wrong to define her as a real person... As long as I don't tie myself down with logic, she is just she... I'm at a point where I can't live without her anymore... I can't continue my research without her... I can't concentrate... I want to know more about her. I'm more interested in her than I am learning the mechanics of the generator. ------------ Evil Corpses ------------ Location: Ark of Destiny The demons from folklore may have physically disappeared from the planet, but their malice is said to live on within the earth, devouring the planet. This demon's threat is said to exist in the form of shields. Some even theorize that these shields are actually transformed demon corpses. Once these shields are activated, they are said to devour any surrounding life-forms, and transfigure their bodily structure. It is believed that the monsters that roam Filgaia today are the direct result of these shields, which affected life-forms during the great war. If these shields still exist today, they may bring about a new threat. Even after a thousand years, are we still unable to escape the threat of the evil corpses? ---------------- Family of Demons ---------------- Location: Ruins of Memory Folklore paints a vivid picture of invasion... Our forefathers recount the fear of demons, who were covered in steel with blood of mercury. The demons massacred a multitude of life-forms and brought about mass destruction with flames of atrocity. But as time passes, we have begun to utilize the artifacts they left behind--as if we are now the spawn of demons. For as long as we are human, we must embrace our prestige as a human race, and live proudly and accordingly. ------------------------------- Fall of the City of Experiments ------------------------------- Location: Ballack Rise Let us go back a thousand years, to the end of the great war. In the city, an eldritch generator was test-run under the supervision of the scientist Ajende. The generator deployed a certain kind of nescient barrier, called the wizardly stealth effect. The experiment, however, ended in failure, with catastrophic results. The barriers deployed around the city, reacting to Filgaia's magnetic field, lifted the city high into the sky. And what goes up... must come down. They say the great city instantly collapsed on impact with the ground. Many researchers died instantly. Others were afflicted with terrible side-effects from the overload of energy. The lead researcher, Ajende, miraculously survived the ordeal, but his reputation as a scientist was forever shattered. The wizardly stealth system was eventually completed by three engineers. If you ever see the gaping crater, remember that it is the final resting place of the city of experiments. Do not forget to take a moment to pray for the pioneers of technology and revel in their legacy. -------------------- Filgaia for Everyone -------------------- Location: Jolly Roger In days long, long ago... the demons brought war to our planet from a faraway world. An alliance of living beings and guardians for Filgaia. The result of that war is not known to mankind. The very fact that we live, however, points to a victory for the forces of Filgaia. But look around you. Filgaia is a world of barren waste. It is believed the war caused this. In a certain sense, that war continues to this very day. As the creatures of Filgaia banded together to protect the planet, we must work together to revive it. ----------------- Forge and Bellows ----------------- Location: Claiborne Pliable steel is much stronger than hard steel. Think about it. No matter how solid or hard the steel, once you apply heat and immediately cool it down, the composition deteriorates and the steel becomes brittle. If you don't believe me, try it. Try it on a sturdy monster called Trask. Trust me, it works. --------------------------- Formerly Known as the Chock --------------------------- Location: Leyline Observatory The end of the great war gave birth to the fundamentalism of the nature, Baskar. Secret ceremonies were held using the power of guardians, and two sects of Baskar were established. One as a religious group for those who had nowhere to turn to, and the other as restorers of the decayed environment. Shortly after the flames of war had died out, it is said that Baskars tried to rejuvenated Filgaia through the use of guardians. Guardians, which were considered to be the power that sustains the world, were attempting to do just that. The Baskars were said to have set up chocks, a structure signifying the belief in guardians, over the leypoints. These chocks were used to suppress the expansion of the wasteland, and at the same time, amplify the guardians' powers, while supplying energy to the world. However, the spreading of the wasteland was more severe than expected, and the chocks only worked to delay the decay, insted of revitalizing the environment. These chocks later became referred to as guardian shrines, and play a ceremonial role today. The rejuvenation of Filgaia would have to find a new, different approach... ------------------------- Fossil Resources: Dragons ------------------------- Location: Gob's Hideout During the legendary era, the hostile demons were said to have taken up arms by exploiting the life force of machinery. These weapons were considered to be an entity between machinery and living organisms, possessing the power to tear the sky and shatter the earth. These weapons were called dragons. It was as if they possessed a will of their own, synchronizing with the demons as if part of their limb. But as time passed... The demons disappeared, and the great war subsided on Filgaia. The few remaining dragons were deemed insignificant, and lay dormant as they began to decay. These dragons exist today as fossil resources proving beneficial to the people of today. They are found in trains and ships and other machinery, but they are most commonly used in ARMs, which is quite ironic. There is still much we do not know about dragons and a thorough analysis is needed. Dragon fossils can be mined west of Jolly Roger in a mining shaft. There are rumors however, of a living dragon found further south of Boot Hill around the Laxiland area. If these rumors of a living dragon are true, it may possess even greater powers than the fossils and prove much more useful to mankind. On the other hand... -------------------------------- Full Account of Survey Point #08 -------------------------------- Location: Ark of Destiny Survey Point #08 was named the [Cradle of the Metal Gods] after the folklore about the Deus Ex Machina. The excavation of the ruin faced difficulties from the get go, as the ruin was located high atop a cliff where access was difficult. A plan to penetrate the ruin from underground was devised, and work began on converting a cave into a tunnel, which would lead into the ruin. The initial construction point began at coordinates X:8296, Y:22777. This was to be a large step forward for the Order. The tunnel construction was proceeding smoothly, until a sudden cave-in halted all operations. Construction has been put on hold indefinitely until a plan is devised to remove the debris. -------------- Gaspar's Diary -------------- Location: Little Rock May 20. Sunny. It was a hot day from sunrise to sunset. With weather like this, I wish I was sailing. Sorry, Daddy. I don't want to follow after you. I want to be a sailor instead. It would be so neat to venture out into the ocean blue. With each day, a new adventure. When I grow up, I'm going to leave this dust-ridden town and sail the seas. Just you wait. ---------------------------- Giant's That Don't Get Along ---------------------------- Location: Boot Hill A long time ago, the evil serpent Nidhogg lived by the foot of Yggdrasil. Two giants who didn't get along decided to exterminate this serpent on their own, and each began their journey from two separate directions. Each giant had different reasons for wanting to kill the serpent. The first giant wanted to take the reward all for himself... while the other giant wanted to do the deed for the people. Little did the two giants know that Nidhogg had two heads that worked very well together! So, the two giants ended up inside the serpent's stomach, regretting not cooperating with each other. ----------------- Guardian Warriors ----------------- Location: Little Twister Legend tells of warriors capable of materializing guardians with their will, who rid the world of evil. These warriors defeated powerful enemies with the help of guardians, and developed a strong bond with them. It is worth mentioning that evoking guardians with one's will requires much concentration and cannot be performed successively without rest. However, these warriors with their strong bond with the guardians, were able to materialize the guardians many times on the battlefield. A powerful bond tied on the battlefield is unlike any other. It can be said that the strength of the guardian warriors derives from the strength of this bond. ---------------------- Guardians of the Heart ---------------------- Location: Ark of Destiny Guardians do not only reside within physical power. Guardians can also exist within the heart, acting as the power that sustains life. These guardians are classified as guardian lords, governing love, courage, hope, and desire. These four powers normally exist in the heart, paving a way for the future... However, in today's world, love, courage, and hope have disappeared, and desire has been warped. The guardian lords have been deprived of all their power, and are on the brink of extinction. They have transformed their will into a rock, and wait patiently for a true warrior to arrive... They wish to entrust the power that sustains life to this warrior, so that he may bring forth a future... --------- Ice Queen --------- Location: Ark of Destiny The Ice Queen has been assigned to guard Mimir's Well, the place where wisdom is granted. The Ice Queen is a powerful entity stored within Hyades' data. It will eliminate the target without affecting the surrounding area. The activation password is: 'emeth.' It is a foreign word which means truth. I believe this password and the entity are appropriate for guarding Mimir's Well. The Ice Queen will target anyone who has not been registered with an authorized pattern, so please be careful. Non-council members should not set foot in Mimir's Well. ---------------- In the Beginning ---------------- Location: Leyline Observatory The progenitors of the human race are said to have arrived on this planet long ago, on a ship that soars the heavens. However, there is no mention of where our forefathers came from. Without any absolute evidence backing this folklore, many have come to view it as a mere fairy tale. On the other hand, there are those who take the folklore seriously, citing the fact that the human race seemed to appear in history overnight. I strongly believe that solving the mystery of the ship that soars the heavens will one day shed light as to the true origin of the human race. -------------------------- Legend of the Evil Serpent -------------------------- Location: Ark of Destiny Nidhogg is a greedy evil serpent. It heads to the grove with its jaws wide open, looking for prey. Nidhogg is a greedy evil serpent. Darker than the night, its jaws belong to two heads, acting as one. Nidhogg is a greedy evil serpent. Two giants wield their sword to exterminate the evil serpent. One of the giants heads to the forest with good intentions. One of the giants heads to the forest with evil intentions. However, neither of the two giants knew there were now two Nidhoggs. By knowing there are two Nidhoggs, one can infiltrate the core. Nidhoggs are greedy evil serpents. They head to the grove with their jaws wide open, looking for prey. These two giants were never to be seen again. ------------------- Leyline Observatory ------------------- Location: Leyline Observatory The Leyline Observatory is funded by a special organization, where we research and study [leylines], an energy network that sustains a planet. By analyzing leylines, we strive to refine the energy that sustains this planet. If successful, we will be able to deter the decay of this planet, and breathe new life into the environment. May our blood and tears become the blessed rain, and our toil the light that warms the flowering greenery. We must bear the fruits of our research. ----------------------- Luck Is a Part of Skill ----------------------- Location: Leyline Observatory Some may boast about physical strength, and some may boast about magic. But how many of you boast about luck? How many of you out there on the battlefield take luck seriously? Well, let me tell you this. That powerful one-timer, the Critical Hit, and the ever so handy Defender; these skills are activated by chance and governed by luck. And what about those death blows and the various status ailments the enemies throw at you? These can actually be prevented by skills and luck. And the booby-trapped treasure chests you get after winning a battle--the chances of you sucessfully defusing it also depends on luck. It can be said that almost every action you take in battle is affect by luck. Having reading this, I hope you take luck more seriously from now on. If you do, there's no doubt you'll emerge victorious in the wasteland. -------------------- Mu & Lemuria Monthly -------------------- Location: Ark of Destiny Are we under attack by UFOs!? There have been many reported sightings of UFOs this year! This issue will give you a first hand account of an alien encounter! Six young boys witnessed a red shining object falling down from the sky. They called the local sheriff to investigate the scene with them. As they got closer and closer to the scene, an irritating odor began to emanate. When they finally reached the scene, what they saw was unbelievable--a silver, flat object, about eight yards in diameter was emitting a red light. All of a sudden... An alien, about ten feet tall with beady eyes appeared before them!! This alien was the source of that terrible smell, and it began to float in the air, moving about in a sliding motion. Frightened out of their mind, the six boys and the sheriff ran for the nearest town. Half an hour later, when others came to investigate the scene, all that was left was that terrible stench, with nothing else in sight. What did the alien want? Why did he visit this planet? These are questions we would like to discuss in next month's issue... ---------------------------- Roykman & Co.'s Travel Route ---------------------------- Location: Boot Hill Thank you for your continued patronage. Listed below is my travel route for this fiscal year. Little Rock, Baskar Colony, Boot Hill, Humphrey's Peak, Claiborne, Ballack Rise... Jolly Roger, Laxisland, Little Twister, and finally, Gunner's Heaven. Please be advised that I may be travelling back and forth from the following six locations: Baskar Colony, Boot Hill, Humphrey's Peak, Jolly Roger, Laxisland and Gunner's Heaven. --------------- Ruins of Memory --------------- Location: Ruins of Memory Fruits of ancient technology have been excavated from ruins all over Filgaia. Many of these historic rare items, such as the [Giant's Rock], excavated from the earth layer before the great ancient war are all preserved here. That is why this place is called, the Ruins of Memory. All of the relics on display have been carefully restored. Please be careful not to touch the relics. ---------------- Ships' Graveyard ---------------- Location: Ark of Destiny The friction of the sand combined with menacing monsters has sent countless ships and the people on them to a sandy grave. Indeed, the crossing of dunes is something that comes with a great deal of risk. This leads us to the reason why we, the Order of the Ark of Destiny, constructed our temple complex here on Yard Isle. This region used to be ignominiously known as the Ships' Graveyard due to the high number of wrecked hulls that washed ashore. But one day, the island's history charted a new course when a Drifter discovered a new ship in the wreckage. You see, the ship he found was one of the kind that our distant ancestors referred to as a soaring ship. With this crystal of ancient wisdom at his fingertips, he set off on a mission to save the planet. That Drifter was our founder, Lamium, ten years ago. And the soaring ship was converted into the Order's temple, becoming the center of all its activities. A new ship is about to launch from the island once known as a graveyard. The future of Filgaia is tied to the place where the Order of the Ark of Destiny was founded. ---------------------------------- The Doctrine of the Ark of Destiny ---------------------------------- Location: Ark of Destiny The religious order, the Ark of Destiny, headed by its founder Lamium, has only been in existance for about ten years. Its new ideals, activities and ways of life are geared towards the goal of pursuing a future. The doctrine does not look to intangible, spiritual entities. It is about applying yourself as a life-form of this planet, and what we must do to live strongly. Each one of us plays a leading role in this doctrine through our actions. We hope you will join us today, to help us find a tomorrow. ------------------ The Filgaia Theory ------------------ Location: Leyline Observatory How can Filgaia possibly be a living planet? The theory that tries to answer this extremely sinmple, yet difficult proprosition is the Filgaia Theory. In order for life-forms to continue existing on Filgaia, it is necessary for the life-form to regulate itself. Every species of life-form work together as a single organism to control the planet's environment. Surprisingly, there have been cases of self-cleansing, where foreign elements have been expelled. This function is very similiar to ours. From a universal standpoint, Filgaia is regarded as a single life entity. Currently, the Filgaia Theory is moving forward with systematization. By regarding the planet as a life-form, there are also plans to heal or revitalize the environment. We look forward to providing the results of this research. ---------------- The Guiding Word ---------------- Location: Leyline Observatory The Guiding Word... is the magical password. The Guiding Word... is my name, and the key to open the gate. The Guiding Word... will be lost in the sea of words, if we rely on convential wisdom... -------------- The Gunslinger -------------- Location: Ballack Rise 'The crimson ARM... One shot is all it needs.' The pioneer Drifter of legend, Alan smithy, coined that famous phrase. Some say he lived three centuries past, others say five. No written records of his life survived. People called him the Gunslinger, thanks to his sharp shooting skills and limitless energy. But even a Drifter as famous as he remains shrouded in mystery, with many unproven tales credited to him. His death, like his life, is also shrouded in mystery. Some say he went to settle the new continent. Others say he went to slay a beast lord, but never returned. Alan Smithy was loved and honored by all who traversed the wasteland. The Gunslinger will never return, but we await the coming of another hero to this very day. --------------------- The Home I Never Knew --------------------- Location: Ballack Rise If our ancestors really set foot on this world from a skyfaring ship, what made them choose this one? A skyfaring ship is one that crosses the sea of stars. Our ancestors were visitors from one of the planets we see when we look up into the night sky. This planet is not our true home. What kind of world was our true home, then? It must have been a utopia with order, security, and the technology to navigate the stars. Perhaps the teachings of the Order of the Ark of Destiny seek a utopia like that? As my ancestors reached out to this world, I must reach out to the world they left behind. -------------------- The Lost Demi-humans -------------------- Location: Ruins of Memory Who were these demi-humans that appear in historical records? They are said to have resembled humans, but possessed great power unknown to man. They were said to have synchronized with nature to perform incredible feats. Similarities between the demi-humans and Baskar--believers of guardians--are noted, but nothing can compare to the scope of their power. Who were these demi-humans that are said to have existed on Filgaia? Where did they come from, and why did they disappear? ----------------------- The Rainbow to Tomorrow ----------------------- Location: Ark of Destiny Seven experts, specializing in science, magic and various other fields... At times, they were referred to as 'The Rainbow.' They were the Council of Seven, which researched ways to rejuvenate Filgaia over many decades. This research first began when the first group of seven came into contact with the information library Hyades, left behind by the demons. The members of the council were interchanged depending on the direction of the research, or with changes of the time. Many different phenomena were solved due to their work. The countless hours and efforts put in by these specialists to analyze Hyades is finally about to pay off. The environmental rejuvenation, planetary energy production and supply--all of this was a vision every council member shared. The seven colors of 'The Rainbow' will soon change into a single ray of hope. -------------------- The Saint's Guidance -------------------- Location: Ark of Destiny Most of the excavation sites operated by the Ark of Destiny are ordered by the founder, Lamium himself. The founder possesses a special ability, through which he can locate excavation points. According to the founder, this is not his personal ability, but a form of divine revalation. He claims that a girl appears in his dreams, informing him of the location of undiscovered ruins. This goes against the Order's principle of reality over ideas in terms of taking action. But the fact of the matter is, many rare artifacts have been excavated as a direct result of the founder's dreams. Could this simply be explained as a miracle? What does this Saint, the girl that appears in the founder's dreams wish to entrust us with, and where does she wish to lead us? If the Saint wishes to guide us to the future, let us walk there on our own two feet. That is the way of the Order's doctrine. --------------------------------- The Seven Geniuses of the Council --------------------------------- Location: Ark of Destiny The seven members of the Council of Seven have been selected for this term. They are as follows: Environmental Alteration Team: Werner Maxwell, Leehalt Alcaste, and Melody Vilente. These members will be responsible for researching ways to use the

Finally, a place for clubbers to get their party on in Fort Lauderdale. Don't get us wrong: Velvet Lounge is an upscale nightclub on a par with anything South Beach has to offer but sans most of the attitude. As the name implies, there's velvet aplenty: red and black velvet on the walls, royal blue and black velvet couches -- but no Elvis painting. After paying the $5 cover charge, you can stock up on candy, cigars, and cigarettes at the concession counter next to the front doors. Straight ahead is the Bottle Bar, where for $150 you can play socialite and reserve a table complete with your own security guard and hostess. Keep going, and you'll hit the sunken dance floor, right beneath the stage where dancers and live acts perform. Above the dance floor, acid-jazz, house, and trance music are blended together courtesy of renowned DJs Chazz and Vaughan, who spin Friday and Saturday nights respectively. Velvet Lounge does have velvet ropes, naturally, but the elitism is kept to a tolerable minimum.

Whether we like it or not, the Topshop phenomenon continues to sweep across this country. In the past, the togs for boys haven't been remotely as popular as the girls. However, Topman have diligently crusaded on and is finally beginning to translate the success of Topshop into its menswear. The shop now offers a fantastic collection encompassing everything from vintage goodies to more archetypal tailoring including a raft of denim delights, snazzy footwear and accessories. Prices are peanuts and this impenetrable brand has once again, somehow, been recognised as one of the coolest names on the high street. Championing young and new designers, unique ranges complement the store's trademark, inexpensive plain tops, jeans and basic collections. This shop is huge and swarming, especially on weekends when you can expect the odd bit of jostling and elbowing but it's worth braving the odd ruffian in order to bag some of the best bargains in town.
Best for:
Cutting-edge designs at high street prices, accessories, vintage and contemporary clothing.

Book #5 is still in edit, so I asked myself, what do I do until the edit is completed. I could start another book, paint a picture, audit some music, cut a few more rocks, or design something new from what I have found . When going through the variscite on hand, I discovered a couple of rocks that appeared slightly different. In cutting I discovered they were of a rare Variscite, I think from Germany. Was able to recover six slices that I thought of excellent presentation. Finished the piece as pictured. By adding a small diamond in a blemish noted in the stone. The piece is 1″ x 2″ with a silver wire for the case.
A book is a book, long or short, big or small. How does the various authors decide when a book is complete? What will it be called, what will the story tell, or the cover look like? Does the design come from dreaming, or from visits to the heaven of imagination.
How do you measure the book's length? Will it be by word count, size, number of pages, number of days and nights seated at a computer, or heaven help you, at an actual old typewriter? I've wondered if anyone still uses one, or are they even taught to be used in school any more? How many individuals have been told why you write, where the stories materialize from, and when. If a book never becomes a reality, how many stories may still be drifting within your head, your heart, trying to become more then just a daunting task that you never get around too.
Thousands of authors are upon this old world we call home. They come and go. I wondered what the key is for an author to retain that desire and remain on the light hearted, peace of mind, positive attitude side of life, after saying to one's self, "Was it worth the effort?"

July 2013, TruckingInfo.com - Feature
by Jim Park, Equipment Editor
- Also by this author
Wheel-ends function as a system: the spindle, hub, and rim (or wheel), as well as the bearings and the fasteners, all work in concert to keep the wheels in place and the tires running straight and true. If one part of the system is out of whack, the results will be seen and felt elsewhere in the system - usually at the tires themselves.
But the problem usually has nothing to do with the tire. From irregular wear caused by negative camber on a trailer axle to non-concentric tire mounting, how chassis and wheel-ends are maintained, and how wheels and tires are installed, will have a greater impact on tire wear than any defect that might be present in the tire. Sure, there are poor quality tires that don't wear well, and there are tires used in applications they were not designed for, but bum tires are probably not to blame for irregular wear problems.

Thanksgiving in ABQ or Santa Fe
- s
- Silverlaker Oct 26, 2008 12:38 PM
Suggestions? We like good and rustic cooking. Mid-range (esp if in Santa Fe). Thanks!
re: Silverlaker
The problem is that most of us folks who live in these places don't eat out on holidays (I managed to pull it off once on Thanksgiving, thirteen years ago, but my wife does prefer to see her family) since we have family and friends here. And, since it doesn't concern us, we don't really know which restaurants do it well.
Good luck with it. I would suggest that you might research restaurants that interest you based on other posts that have been made on this board, and then start emailing them to see whether they'll be open on Turkey Day.
cheers, erich
re: Silverlaker
The Compound, on Canyon Road in Santa Fe is doing Thanksgiving. Good, good food, historic building. http://www.compoundrestaurant.com/ind...
Sorry, I have been meaning to reply for a few days. We went to the Galisteo Inn for Thanksgiving last year, and we are going again this year. It may be a little more expensive than mid-range, however.
From my research last year, I recall that the majority of options were hotel restaurants. Sunrise Springs had one of the more interesting menus. A non-hotel and less expensive option was the Zia Diner.
I haven't seen any restaurant ads for the upcoming Thanksgiving yet, so this info may not be current. Good luck!
re: jjones21
jjones -- Tell me more about the Galisteo Inn -- we're not "natives," in town for a few months for business. Is that in Santa Fe? We can do ABQ or Santa fe.
And by "mid-range", I mean $100-$125, dinner for 2, not including drinks. We like Zia but looking for something a bit more up.
re: Silverlaker
Galisteo is about 20-30 minutes south of Santa Fe (though not on the way to ABQ), depending on where in town you are. It is south of Eldorado, if that is helpful. It feels futher away than that, however. Very bucolic.
Here is the restaurant website:
The menu emphasizes local and seasonal ingredients, much more than most fine dining places in town. I think it would satisfy your rustic requirement, although it's not casual. We really enjoyed it last year. I suspect we would go there fairly regularly if we lived a little closer and had a little more $$$.
I can't remember what we paid last year. I think it was a prix fixe--maybe $60 or so per person? You can call and ask what they are charging this year.
FYI for those looking for SF Thanksgiving options: the Santa Fe New Mexican Pasatiempo supplement has a few Thanksgiving ads today, and they will likely have more in the next few weeks. To peruse online:
re: jjones21
Good looking-out! :-)
The Ranchers Club in ABQ @ Hilton is a wonderful restaurant that does holidays well. We had a Christmas dinner there a few years back and we enjoyed it alot.
Most of the Casinos will be serving dinner. Santa Ana {Corn Maiden or the high end Prairie Star]and Sandia {Bien Shur] both have great restaurants.
Scalo on Central in Nob Hill is open. Northern Italian, very nice.
Andiamo meets your price and rustic needs. Italian meets home cooking.505-995-9595
For great margaritas, Maria's.
Mauka for a fantastic meal, check website for menu.
I know that next year, someone is going to do a search on this very topic. (I did when I first started looking for a place for this year). So, now that we've eaten Thanksgiving Dinner...
We ate at Zia Diner. It was a limited menu - a salad, your choice of a Traditional Turkey dinner, Ham or Squash Ravioli with Pinon Cream Sauce, and a choice of pies for around $30. We ended up with one order of Turkey and one order of Ravioli. The turkey was exactly that - traditional, although it was good. The Ravioli was fantastic.
I had Thanksgiving dinner again this year at Fuego in La Posada. They renovated this year but Thanksgiving was great again. They had a set menu of four courses and carved a Whole Turkey... At every table. It was great, just like at home as you could pick what you wanted, dark meat light meat, etc... but no mess. I will be back again next year.

Lady Gaga: All-Natural in Harper's Bazaar!by Free Britney at . Comments
One of the most shocking fashion statements Lady Gaga can make is none at all. In the new issue of Harper's Bazaar, she proved this by baring all.
While it's not exactly a Lady Gaga nude photo shoot in the usual sense of the word, her face is certainly unmasked, fresh and nearly makeup free.
Seriously, it's hard to believe this is even her ...
"Whether I'm wearing lots of makeup or no makeup, I'm always the same person inside," the 25-year-old pop star tells the mag in its October issue.
"I try to not focus on what people expect from me. I think what has been lovely about my relationship with the public is they expect something unexpected."
Somewhat similar to Madonna, one might say.
Anyway, she keeps us on our toes, even when abandoning the outrageous getups that have been her trademark. Check out more Lady Gaga pictures below:
Not attractive, maybe that's why she resorts to copying outfits & ideas from others to take away how unattractive she is.
Holy Holy! You mean that's Lady Gaga??
I totally agree with jenny logan. She is nothing special to look at thats for sure. Havent been a fan of her music much either. But alot of people like her, so you go girl! much love for you regardless :)
Now I know why she hides behind those hideous outfits. She is quite unattractive and very plain jane all on her own. I don't like her music either. Sorry.
