World of Warcraft Grinding Guide (35-60)
No matter how you slice it, grinding is the fastest way to level in WoW. Maybe not the most fun, but it is much faster than questing. Before I start, you need to realize this is not a complete 1-90 leveling guide, it's just a guide that will help you find some quick grinding spots, if you need a complete leveling guide, the best one is Dugi's 1-100 leveling Guide.

Josh, the pegboard computer is here, like it or not The idea is to get computer-like devices into places where they can be an impulse buy, drive up the sales volume, and race to the bottom in price.
The crux of the matter is to find out how low we can go. I would estimate $50 or a little less, using today's components and settling for minimal performance.
The real benefit of all this is that it will drive down the prices of all computers, software, and related products and will get these into the hands of even more people, in fact, most everyone.
The idea is not to provide an optimal computer for all. People will have to decide for themselves what they need and can afford. Many reviewers of products, on the other hand, have an opposing motive: They want to keep prices up and cash flow with it, benefiting the electronics industry itself, fan magazines and websites, and other enterprises employing the reviewers.
CVS deserves a lot of credit for achieving the revolutionary goal at which One Laptop Per Child failed!

Book Review: Who Fears Death
By Sandy Amazeen Feb 5, 2014, 8:16 GMT
International award-winning Nnedi Okorafor enters the world of magical realist literature with a powerful story of genocide in the far future and the woman who reshapes her world. In a post-apocalyptic Africa, the world has changed in many ways, yet in one region genocide between tribes still bloodies the land. A woman who has survived the annihilation of her village and a terrible rape ...more
Born the product of violence and ostracized for being Ewu, young Onyesonwu whose name means Who Fears Death, knows first hand the strength of rage as she fights against the bonds that would restrain her wild nature. Prejudice abounds against Onyesonwu's heritage, her gender, age and emerging abilities but worse, her biological father wants her dead. Choosing to participate in the barbaric Eleventh Year Rite against her parents wishes, Onyesonwu undergoes circumcision with three other girls, a decision that forges strong bonds between the four girls. Onyesonwu learns tantalizing clues about her emerging abilities from a young man, a fellow Ewu studying with a powerful sorcerer who seems just as narrow minded as any of the townspeople. In true warrior's quest form, Onyesonwu and friends leave their homes to begin a profound physical and spiritual journey that will change the face of their world.
Set in the post-apocalyptic African desert, this engrossing tale examines the price of fanatical beliefs, racial issues, gender inequality, slavery and starting with the coward of a man married to Onyesonwu's mother at the time of her brutal rape, human weakness and foibles. The first third of the book is the best as the action slows down once the quest begins; from there it seems the focus is more on conversations and events that don't go anywhere rather then on maintaining an even pace. Still, with plenty of magic and excellent world building, this classic, sometimes haunting adventure shows it is possible for one person to change the world.

Veterans Affairs:
Improved Planning Needed to Guide Development and Implementation of Education Benefits System
GAO-07-1045: Published: Jul 31, 2007. Publicly Released: Jul 31, 2007.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-6304
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) administers programs that provide educational resources to veterans, service members, reservists, and eligible family members of veterans. Under an initiative that the Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) began in 1999, called The Education Expert System (TEES), VA is moving its education benefits claims processing systems to new technology platforms and replacing the current systems with a new system that is to add more automated processes and eliminate most human intervention. GAO was requested to (1) report on the results of TEES development to date and identify the remaining work to complete the project, (2) identify VBA's plans for completing and implementing TEES, and (3) assess the feasibility of developing and deploying TEES before the completion of VBA's Finance and Accounting System. To accomplish these objectives, GAO analyzed relevant documentation, interviewed program and project officials, and observed processing systems at VA regional offices.
To date, as part of the TEES project, VBA has enhanced education benefits claims processing by developing certain capabilities that allow information to be captured in an electronic format. However, VBA has not taken action on various other initiatives that it identified as necessary to complete the project. These initiatives include (1) moving the functionality provided by its aging, stand-alone system used to process flight school, on-the-job training, and apprenticeship claims to a platform compliant with the department's enterprise architecture; (2) moving the processing and payment functionality used for many of the education claims from its current antiquated system to new technology; and (3) creating a rules-based claims processing system that will process all education benefits and types of training. VBA does not have an integrated project management plan for the TEES initiative. According to agency officials, a project management plan originally developed in 2001 has not been updated since 2004. Because VBA does not have an integrated project management plan, it lacks critical elements needed to effectively guide the project to completion, such as a full description of its scope; identification of stakeholders' responsibilities, documented risks, and performance metrics; and an overall approach for coordinating its various education claims improvement initiatives. Moreover, without an integrated project management plan, VBA risks initiating work that could be duplicative and overlapping. VBA's Finance and Accounting System (FAS) is substantially complete and can currently pay new compensation claims; all functionality for compensation and pension payments is scheduled to be completed by August 2008. Thus, since much of the functionality for FAS has been developed, VBA could implement a rules-based system that integrates with FAS. However, while the current strategy calls for using FAS as the payment system for TEES, the existing functional requirements for an interface between the two systems, which were developed in 2003, have not been assessed and updated. Subject matter experts needed to define business requirements for interfacing the systems have not been assigned by a key stakeholder. As a result, it is uncertain when VBA will validate and update functional requirements for the FAS interface with TEES.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: VA took various actions toward implementing this recommendation prior to the department terminating the project. For example, it developed the The Education Expert System (TEES) Functional Requirements Document, which included requirements to integrate TEES with the Finance and Accounting System (FAS) and established the scope of the project. The requirements were prepared with stakeholder involvement. VA also developed a detailed master schedule for TEES.
Recommendation: To ensure the successful implementation of a system that provides consistent and effective delivery of education benefits payments, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should, before approving any new funding for TEES and related systems, direct VA's Chief Information Officer to develop a comprehensive, integrated TEES project plan that defines critical elements, including but not limited to project scope, budget, schedule, risk, planning for data management, needed knowledge and skills, and stakeholder involvement; and addresses redundancy between the requests for developing a TEES rules-based system, the department-level code conversion effort, and integration of the TEES development with FAS.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: Prior to terminating the The Education Expert System (TEES) project, VA took steps to ensure that duplication between TEES and other related efforts was eliminated. For example, VA's decision to not exercise an option on a code conversion contract eliminated the potential for redundancy between the contract and TEES. Also, VA combined TEES with two planned efforts to establish the VBA Rules Based Claims Processing investment for the FY 2009 budget.
Recommendation: To ensure the successful implementation of a system that provides consistent and effective delivery of education benefits payments, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should, before approving any new funding for TEES and related systems, direct VA's Chief Information Officer to, once an integrated plan among related TEES initiatives has been completed and documented, revise the Office of Management and Budget Exhibit 300s for TEES and related efforts to ensure that duplication in efforts and budgets is eliminated and that funding is consistent with timelines.
Agency Affected: Department of Veterans Affairs
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: VA ensured that key stakeholders, including the Office of Resource Management, participated in the effort to re-validate The Education Expert System (TEES) requirements. The re-validated requirements document was delivered to VA in December 2008 and included functional requirements to interface TEES with the Finance and Accounting System (FAS).
Recommendation: To ensure the successful implementation of a system that provides consistent and effective delivery of education benefits payments, the Secretary of Veterans Affairs should, before approving any new funding for TEES and related systems, direct VA's Chief Information Officer to obtain stakeholders' commitment of resources to ensure that functional requirements are revalidated and updated as necessary to provide an interface between FAS and the future VBA education systems.

Critic & User Reviews
Very Good
its your destiny to get this game

Plot: The story behind this game is pretty interesting. You are a warrior that died on the field of battle. A race of gnomes stole your body and throw it into a cave that they call The Well of Souls. You are reborn and fight your way out of the well. This game relies heavily on the theme of can you fight fate? All the mortal races in this world have a predetermined life. Fate readers are the ones that can tell your future. So every time you kill someone you snuffed out their fate because you weren't suppose to be alive. There is an evil king that is part of the immortal's in the world that is trying to destroy all life. It is decided that since you have no predetermined fate that you can stop this evil king. I do not want to spoil anything so play the game the story is good.
Game Play: The game play is pretty simple the fear I had in my last post was wrong. You can hot key spells and that is all you really need to hot key. You can completely customize your character but your character doesn't speak. Your dialogue is picked by you and the character just responds. A huge suggestion I have is get use to using the O button (or B for xbox). Reason is that is the doge button and it is a huge help when your being surrounded by many enemies. You have a power up mode by hitting L1 and R1 when your fate meter is full. This helps you gain a ton more xp and unleashes some devastating combos on the foul beasts that you are fighting. Other wise its just like God of War where X plus other things gives you different attacks.
Graphic: The graphics are decent. They are a little cartoonist like Fable but the cities look good and so do the models. You wont have a problem with "Am i suppose to hit that greenish blob thing or that one."
Overall this game surprised me and it is tons of fun. GET IT! You wont regret. it.
Solid, but not amazing.

Combat is fantastic. I think Skyrim is the most comparable game overall to this game, and combat in Amalur is much, much better than combat in Skyrim. It reminds me of the combat in God of War, although it has more options than GoW does.
I'm not a huge fan of the art style -- prefer Skyrim's more lifelike look. With that said, art style is a matter of preference, and the art in this game isn't bad, but it's not spectacular either. Very similar to World of Warcraft; I think they could have done more. There's also a lack of variety in enemies....you'll be fighting sprites, trolls, barghests, and murghan from the very beginning of the game all the way until the very end.
In the end, the storyline is what keeps me from rating this game higher. It's not the most original, but that doesn't really matter to me -- what matters is the way it's told and the way characters are developed. There's no character development at all....your character has no personality and all the other characters in the game just show up a few times but you don't really get to know any of them. Mass Effect and Dragon Age suck you into the world, and make you care about the people involved -- I didn't really care about anyone in this game. It suffers from the same problem as Skyrim to me -- it's open, and there's a lot of stuff to do, but the game doesn't provide enough motivation to do it. The story in a game is what drives me forward, and when the story is poorly written, or doesn't present itself well, I lose interest. I finished the main quest in both this game and Skyrim, but by the end I was just forcing myself forward, instead of being drawn forward by wanting to find out what was happening next, or what would happen to this or that character. Hopefully they'll do better next time.

Kingdoms of Amalur

Great gameplay and fighting
Good graphics
Great story
Many different weapons and armor to wear and craft
Tons of different combinations of skills
Huge open world
Mildly difficult to control camera
Repetitive quests
Lack in graphic design variety of armor
Rather hard start, due to no health regeneration and lack of looted potions
No companions
Overall, I give Kingdoms of Amalur an 8, but I'm sure different people don't mind some of the Cons, and there are people who are more critical of this game. Great game to rent, not so much to buy.
Reckoning, I reckon

The pitcher was infamously known for is love of MMOs as he used to write quite amount of reviews for PC Gamer/CGW, while playing for the Diamondbacks and took his laptop to every away game to get his Everquest fix.
Why do I keep mentioning the MMO genre? Because this game is essentially a non-persistent, offline MMO coated with fetch and kill count quests. Clearly, Schilling wanted this IP to be a MMO before abandoning it and instead tried to make a hybrid of Bethesda, Bullfrog, Bioware, and a bit of everything mashed together for a collage of wonderful colors and tight controls.
However, the repetition kicks in real fast. About after level 10, you realize the grind is the same with upper skill tiers offering some solace. The story is as shallow and superficial as it can be as the nameless one in Planescape Torment far outweigh this atrocity.
It's not a bad game by a long shot, but definitely not the 10's I see in here. I give it a solid 7 at most and if you have delved into this genre before, you might rate it even lower as there is nothing new offered here except a bigger world and fillers to give you an illusion of quality, 100 hour gameplay.

This game is not Skyrim. Do NOT COMPARE THIS GAME TO SKYRIM. This game is Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning, and focuses more on the fun of diverse, fast paced combat rather than storyline or open-world discovery.
-Good Animated Graphics.
-Excellent Combat.
-Open world-acts mostly as ground you run across to get to next city or mission, nothing too exciting here.
-Ok story
-Many different types of weapons(daggers, longswords, broadswords, greathammers, faeblades, bows, scepters, and staffs).
-Abilities add a fun twist to combat, such as attacks that cause earthquakes and make arrows fall like rain
-Stealth attacks are included, always powerful yet fairly limited.
-Different levels and quality of armor and weapons lends to sense of excitement when found and satisfaction when used
-Ok frame rate, combat is somewhat choppy(shields appear from nowhere)
-Shallow missions-talk to elf chick. go kill the evil elf man. grab magic rock.return."here's some money." now go collect magic moss.
-different class trees keep things interesting, each is very different and you can switch to sorcery/might/finesse whenever you want(armor and weapons for each type is not hard to find)
Conclusion-This is a solid fun RPG with many action-adventure aspects that adds to make a fun experience, though a shallow story and repetitive missions detract from overall experience.

Let me start off by saying I'm not a big RPG fan. However, I decided to give this one a go. I found it to have a good story and was very satisfying to play. You can see why this is one of the highest rated RPG games. That said there are flaws.
1) good story
2) character building is in-depth
3) ton of quests that fit with the story (not mindless)
1) framerate/lag issues (even after patch 1.4)
2) still decent number of bugs (not game breaking though)
Above Average
Great potential but crippled by major flaws.

To the games credit, the controls are fairly tight. Your character dances around the screen nearly as smoothly as A-grade action games. The camera performs admirably and the character animations are excellent. The work put into some of your spells and abilities is impressive, resulting in some epic attacks. The game is long, expect 15-20 hours through the main quest and 60+ with side quests.
Now for the not so pleasant parts. On the PS3 and XBOX versions you get 4 hot keys. As any of the classes you get between 6 and 8 activated abilities and using them all in combat would require pausing the game, remapping your hot keys, unpausing, using, etc. The voice acting is dull and sometimes grating. If the kind of fantasy you enjoy is where NPCs talk in corny Irish accents you may not mind, though some of the voice actors don't really appear to bother. Maybe this is due to racial differences but I didn't notice any consistency. Even one of the main characters sounds like a pretentious zombie. There's a general cheapness to the soundtrack that sets the mood at boring and keeps it there. Although there is the occasional nice looking view, the environment design is generally bland. By continent, each zone is almost exactly like the last and connected to the next with a simple hallway. The single greatest flaw was the difficulty. After about 3 hours of game play (sorcerer at least) combat was basically reduced to a single button with perhaps another to finish off whats left, even on the hardest difficulty. Sadly this alleviated the hotkey problem. Even bosses are trivialized by reckoning mode.
In summary, if you like A-RPGs and you're looking for a time sink, look no further. If you like a challenge and you haven't played Dark Souls, get that inst

From 'The Hangover 3' to 'Fast & the Furious 6,' the summer of sequels begins
Fast and Furious movie poster
The sixth Fast & Furious premiered this week. How does the movie keep drawing large audiences?
It's the beginning of another summer full of sequels. This week "The Hangover III," "Fast & Furious 6," and "Before Midnight" all open. But coming soon is another Superman movie, and Hugh Jackman is once again playing Wolverine. Meanwhile, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is working on its fifth installment.
When should a movie franchise just call it quits? Which movie sequels are your favorites? Which ones didn't work at all? What makes a good sequel?

i'm guessing by turn over you mean it wont crank? make sure the engine is free by turning it a little with a wrench or socket. hopefully its not siezed. the car may not know its in park or nuetral. have the signal tested. do you have an alarm that blocks cranking? and finally check for constant power at the big starter cable and see if power goes to the small wire with the key held in the start position. if both powers are ok and the fat eng ground cable is good then you need a starter.

8 Unique Tools and Their Unusual Uses
Everyone knows drills, saws, and sledgehammers, but what about froes, super saws, and Odd Jobs?
By Doug Mahoney
Timber Scribe
Think of this one as an 18th-century Sharpie. During the heyday of timber framing, builders would use this tool to number beam ends for layout purposessort of like "tab A into slot B." If you're ever in an old house with exposed beams, look for gouged out Roman numerals at the beam ends and you'll see the work of a timber scribe.

I have a bad tiling job by someone I hired. I will not call him back as he made a royal mess of things. How can you fix a bad grouting job?
easy way? get one of those multifunction tools with several grout removal blades, mount it pointing sideways to reduce hand fatigue, and gouge out the grout. don't go deeper, which is why I said mount the blade so it sticks out at a right angle... you hold the tool with a gloved hand so your hand dragging over the tile helps control depth.
hard way: two buck hand grout saw and three days of hard work.
sweep and vacuum. regrout.
sig: if this is a new economy, how come they still want my old-fashioned money?
Are you talking about the grout lines.?
Or, the grout was not washed off properly and it's discolored the top of the tile.?

Student Development Office
Administration of Bond Revenue Buildings
From time to time, questions arise concerning the administration and management of Auxiliary Facilities System (AFS) facilities (residence halls, food service, University Union, Donald S. Spencer Student Recreation Center and the golf course, etc.) at WIU. This statement is provided to clarify for all interested parties the basis of policies for the governance and administration of the facilities. The governance of all phases of Western Illinois University, including AFS facilities, is a function of the Board of Trustees of Western Illinois University. The administration of AFS facilities is delegated by the Board to the president of the University; he or she in turn has delegated portions of this function to appropriate vice presidents and other campus administrative officers. These officers are accountable to the president and the Board for the proper management of these facilities. The authority to administer AFS facilities has not been delegated to students, faculty, alumni, or other constituent groups of the University. The payment of a fee does not establish a basis in law, Board policy, or administrative practices for student governance or administration of AFS facilities.
The rationale for this position is:
- The management of AFS facilities is subject to the same administrative and budgetary controls as all other functions of the University. Operation and control of these facilities are entrusted to those with professional experience, commitment, permanence, and accountability. The source of the funds has no direct relation to the choice of persons qualified to assume administrative responsibility.
- At times, individuals have drawn the incorrect conclusion that payment of fees entitles them to a level of participation in the control over AFS facilities, which is different from that which they exercise in the academic areas of the University by virtue of the payment of tuition. Neither fees nor tuition is a precise dollar measurement of any individual student's use of a particular facility or participation in a particular program, nor do they entitle him or her to any particular role in the management of a facility or program. The fact that Bond Revenue fees are an alternative method of financing certain University operations in no way indicates a different governance or administrative pattern from that which relates to tuition, endowment, or tax-supported activities.
- Further, it is apparent that AFS facilities derive support from a number of sources. In addition to today's students (and tomorrow's), many generations of former students – now alumni – paid fees while enrolled at the University to amortize the costs of these facilities. The state of Illinois has provided the land. The current operating costs for most of the AFS facilities are met largely from student fees and by the income derived from providing services to students, staff, faculty, alumni, and guests of the University.
The opinions and guidance of students and other interested and affected members of the University community are taken into account in established operating policies for the Auxiliary Facilities System. The governing board has consistently affirmed its commitment to this principle by providing or approving mechanisms through which full-time professional University personnel work in close consultation with advisory groups of students and staff.
However, the line between advisory and administrative functions must be maintained. This is not a technique aimed at excluding students from influencing policy. On the contrary, the distinction between advice and decision-making permits significant participation by those whose limited time, experience, interest, and conflicting constituencies make it possible to maintain the same commitment as those who are devoting their energies and professional skills full-time to the University. These operations require training and experience in such areas as counseling, management, contractual relations, state and federal law, budget policies, building services, etc.
All policy and operations decisions for the Auxiliary Facilities System at Western rest with the administrators whose authority is derived from the Board of Trustees through delegation from the president of the University.

Directions: From Kansas City take 70E to Blue Springs. Take exit 20 (highway 7) and go north (take a left and go back under the overpass). Keep going for a few miles, the road will cut down to two lanes. Soon after a junk yard on the right you'll see a small brown sign that says 'Lake city range'. Take this right. The turns are sharp be careful! You'll eventually come to a stop sign, keep going, you'll crest a couple more hills then you'll see the shooting range on the left. Keep going about .5 miles further and the parking lot for the trailhead will be on your left.
Trail Information: This trail is heavily wooded single track most of the time with stints of open field and wide tracks. It is mainly hard packed with the typical rock and root obstacles. It acquires quite a leaf coverage in the fall, my ankles beg you to watch your step! The trail is designated for biking, hiking (running!) and cross country skiing and I've never had trouble sharing the trails with our wheeled friends. And for as many times as I've run out there, I can't tell you the mileage! I have run for a good hour and half, however, and never cruised the same trail twice. As with many trails you just have to get out there and find what suits you. You'll enter at a cattle gate at the far right end of the parking lot and cross a field to get to the official trail head where there is a map casing. If you stay on the main trail, it makes a big loop and you can't get lost. But there are MANY offshoots so take a compass if you plan on exploring. There is no water available, but there is a latrine across the street at the horse riding trail head. (There are several gas stations on hwy 7 for water and snacks and such). There are basically two 'sides' of trails. One is nice rolling single track (mainly) with the occasional rocky stint, but nothing tricky. This one is great for 'zoning' out and just going forever. The other portion is extremely technical, especially if you're biking, or if the trail is wet. If you opt for this part in the spring, be prepared for a couple of creek crossings. Most of the time you can rock hop, but sometimes you just have to get wet. Just a pearl, you will hear gun shots from the range...I like to pretend I'm training at Quantico...weird yea, but it makes me run faster:)
WARNING!!! Not all of the trails are well marked, (one interesting diversion will take you across a gravel pit, just keep going, the trail does pick up again!) be sure to keep your bearings until you're used to the area.
Miscellaneous Information: This is a very well maintained trail please keep it that way!! If it's muddy, please don't bike, ruts are a pain for everyone. This is a great fall/winter run. It's definitely doable in the spring and summer, just be sure to lather up with tick repellant! For more information on this park and others contact the Jackson County Parks and Recreation 816-795-8200.

Conn.'s Murphy skeptical of U.S. military action in Syria
HARTFORD — Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy says he's not convinced the U.S. military should get involved in the Syrian conflict, after returning from a trip to the Syrian border where he and other members of Congress met with opposition leaders.
Murphy also visited a Turkish refugee camp on the border and supports the U.S. providing humanitarian relief. But he told reporters on Monday that he does "not think it's clear that we have a national security imperative" in Syria.

This is getting better!!
Since I've been in the iCarly business, I've never really been much of a bigshot.
This blog made me become known on the fandom, but this changed everything.
Maclean's magazine quoted me and mentioned my blog.
Check it out here! http://www2.macleans.ca/2011/04/14/king-of-teen-queens/
Live from Webicon, It's the RobSp1derp1g Something Something Show!
Hello, folks! As you can see that I'm not in my usual deep-underground-location-unknown-super-secret evil lair of doom. Oh, that's right, you can't see it… Anyhow, me and both my assistants, Phoebe and Steve (I had to hire him again… I needed help with this.) decided to pack our bags and fly across the pond to the exotic paradise location that is, brace yourselves… Wisconsin.
Why is that? Because we're covering the Webicon 2010 convention (it is kinda redundant, ain't it?). I have received information that the iCarly cast was going to be here, and true enough, I'm looking at their panel. It includes a giant replica of the main page of iCarly.com. (security guard shows up.) Excuse me for a moment, please. Phoebe, please hold the camera. *faint voices* Excuse me, sir, may I see your pass? *Rob* Certainly, here it is! *guard* What about them? *Rob* Oh, they're with me. I vouch for them. *guard* Okay, go ahead. By the way, I'm a fan of your blog. Awesome job! *Rob* Thank you! It's always nice to meet a fan. Phoebe, camera, please. Thank you.
*moves camera* As you can see, there are a lot of panels here. There's one for the game that has reached over 12 million players worldwide: World of Warcraft, I mean World of Warlords. Yeah, that's totally what I meant. Also, this year we have a newcomer. We have… a bakery here? What is this "Schneider's Bakery"? Are they the catering company that was hired? OH, it's owned by DanWarp, the guy who created Drake and Josh and Victorious… What is he doing here? There's also a panel for Galaxy Wars, which is good, because they're releasing a special edition of all 4 movies of the trilogy in the new Purple-ray format.
That pretty much concludes this small cover of Webicon. Be sure to be sure of something. And don't forget! What are you supposed not to forget? Oh, Webicon starts tomorrow, November 19th, at 8:00 PM!
Also, there are a bunch of people who are conspiring to trend #Seddie tomorrow on Twitter. They're good people, help them out!
See you here.
Incredible news!!
Hello, my wonderfully amazing group of people who like to read this blog-thingy!! If you're here then you must have somehow found my site. I'm guessing it was either from Google or something.
This blog recently got the attention of certain people who live within this wonderful universe. I'm talking about someone who's admired by many people the world over, and no, I'm not talking about Ryan Seacrest (but how awesome would it be if Ryan, I'm sorry, Mr. Seacrest actually saw this blog?)
The person I'm talking about is none other than, Mr. Warp, Dan Schneider!
That's right, folks! Our good friend will be reading my review on the upcoming episode iSam's Mom!
I know you all take my word for it, but there are a few skeptical people who won't believe my words. To them, I say this:
"A picture is worth a thousand words."
This is huge, I know. for a blog that is only 1 month old, this is, as the title says, incredible news!
Also, I have a Seddie contest going on and would like more participants. More info on it here.
So, my friends, get ready, the next review is going to knock you guys out. A RobSp1derp1g promise.
Until the next review, have a Seddietastic Seddietember and have your daily Seddie fix!
PS: Oh, and for those who care, Phoebe returned yesterday. So, the next review will have lots of sound effects!!
iDo Speculation
Well, it's about time I do some speculations myself, isn't it?
So, please cue the dramatic music! *Dramatic music plays*
RobSp1derp1g's iDo Speculation!!
As some (or all, since I'm writing this to the 4 people who actually read this blog-thingy) may know, this episode is about, how can I put it, marriage. Yeah. In this episode, marriage is the main topic. Two characters get engaged. DO NOT ENGAGE! I REPEAT, DO NOT ENGAGE! *looks back* Did I just quote an action movie? *the same 4 people nod* I didn't mean to, sorry. As I was saying, two characters get engaged. two one time characters. But this is not set in stone… As the girl starts to fall for Spencer. *Dramatic music plays again*
I have read some info on the episode, and this is definitely going to be one funny episode.
Now, the Seddieness. Hit it, Steve! *Steve hits the music player* Not literally, you dimwit! Just play the song… *Running Away plays*
There have been rumors that in this episode, Freddie will get mad at Sam for some (yet) unknown reason. When this happens, an apology will always follow. And in said apology, a Seddie moment will most likely happen. Who knows, maybe this is the Seddie moment we've all been waiting for… It can happen during the slow dance of the wedding. *fangirl squeal* Shut up, Steve! It might just be the event we need… Maybe the roles of iSpeed Date will be reversed. Sam dancing with Freddie, while Carly dances with Spencer. *Evil smirk* I'm a Seddieshipper, I can't have Carly being jealous of Sam. Deal with it. STEVE! Give me some "Deal with it" sound effects!
Dan Schneider himself (blessed be his name) posted a video in which he talked with Jennette and Nathan (who you know as Sam and Freddie) when they were recording this episode. Jennette was wearing a dress, which makes me wonder if… *Maroon 5's Makes Me Wonder starts playing* Hey Steve, cut that out! *hears a voice say "Sorry" and music stops* That's better. I don't know why I hired this guy! Now where was I? Right, Jennette's dress. It makes me wonder *pauses, looks at Steve* what Sam will say about the dress. Also, in that video, Dan initiates a conversation regarding iKiss, and saying that his nephew's friends loved that episode. Now, on a more personal note, I don't believe in coincidences, but I know that Dan isn't the kind of guy who leaves stuff to chance. If he only did get the info that his nephew's friends liked the episode on that week, it's an awesome timing. BUT, if it is not, and as it is my belief, Dan is sending us another hint, combining Seddie with wedding (only now I noticed the similarity.) And one more thing, Nathan's voice is betraying him. Notice his voice. I'll even embed the video here so you can see it.
Notice how he lengthens "enjoyed". What does that prove, you ask? Well, I'm glad you asked. You didn't? Well, you should've. I'm not an expert at microexpression, but I think there's something behind that "enjoyed". This is one of the cases in which I wish I am wrong, but if I'm right, be careful, Nathan, you got yourself some competition. *Eye Of The Tiger starts playing.*
See you all soon, and get ready for the fight of the century: chairs vs. keychains! *rings fight bell*
SUPER DUPER HYPER ULTRA MEGA SPECIAL UPDATE: Here's a preview of iDo!

Right-wing websites including the Fox Nation have highlighted a question asked of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at a November 9 press conference in Seattle by a local reporter who said, "Do you think it's fair to send people to jail for not buying health insurance?" In fact, the penalty under the House health care reform bill for failure to purchase insurance is a tax, not jail time, and willful failure to pay federal income taxes can result in civil or criminal penalties.
The right-wing blog Gateway Pundit says Christians are the target of more hate crimes in the U.S. than Muslims:
In the real world... Hate crimes against Muslims have steadily declined since 2001. Today there are more reported hate crimes against Christians in the United States than Muslims.
That's a reference to the fact that there were 115 reported hate crime incidents against Muslims in 2007, according to the FBI, and 118 against Christians.
Now, this would be a good time to keep in mind that 78 percent of American adults are Christian, and 0.6 percent are Muslim. In other words, there are about 130 times as many Christians in the US as there are Muslims. And yet there were essentially the same number of reported hate crimes against Muslims as against Christians in 2007.
That sure paints a different picture than Gateway Pundit's statement that "there are more reported hate crimes against Christians in the United States than Muslims," doesn't it?
In an effort to downplay hate crimes against Muslims, Gateway Pundit has accidentally provided a reminder of just how disproportionately Muslims are the victims of such crimes. Heckuva job, GP.
Members of the conservative media, including Fox News, are attacking President Obama for not attending the commemoration of the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall. But when Obama has traveled abroad in the past -- including a trip in which Obama commemorated D-Day -- Fox News and figures at other media outlets have criticized him for supposedly going on an "apology tour."
Following the shootings at the Fort Hood Army Post, the Fox Nation and right-wing blogs launched political attacks on President Obama's remarks at a the Tribal Nations conference at the Interior Department, in which he addressed the tragedy after making introductory remarks.
Following Democrat Bill Owens' November 3 victory in the contested NY-23 Congressional race, right-wing bloggers have sought to highlight the "under-reported fact" that Bill Owens "campaigned against the public option." However, while Owens modified his position on the public option during the course of the campaign, he has expressed support for a public option since September, and on October 30 Owens endorsed the public option in the House health care reform bill.
Numerous conservative media outlets are pushing a distortion of comments made by Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a roundtable discussion with business leaders in Pakistan to suggest that she celebrated the notion that "[w]e tax everything that moves and doesn't move," in contrast to lower tax rates in Pakistan. But in her comments, Clinton actually called on Pakistan to raise more revenue of its own, rather than relying on U.S. aid, and said that U.S. taxpayers and Congress say, "[W]e want to help those who help themselves."
Numerous right-wing websites, including the Fox Nation and the Drudge Report, have parroted a misleading headline posted on October 26 by Real Clear Politics and NewsBusters asserting that Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) stated, "We are trying on every front to increase the role of government." In fact, while specifically discussing financial regulation, Frank actually said, "[W]e are trying on every front to increase the role of government in the regulatory area" [emphasis added].
DeLay: To regain power, conservatives need "communications organizations that can... match Media Matters"
Beck attacks Jane Hall: "idiot that left Fox ... Don't let the door hit you on the ass when you leave"
Andrew Breitbart's obsession with "MediaMutters" takes him 'round the bend
Breitbart develops "MEDIAMUTTERS" obsession; perhaps should spend more time fact-checking his site
Breitbart burns Beck, Dobbs, right-wing media with false claim of "Community Organizers Pray[ing] TO" Obama
Following the release of preliminary data from Recovery.gov indicating that around 30,000 jobs have been created or saved through federal stimulus contracts thus far, numerous conservative media figures have distorted the report to claim or suggest that the 30,000 figure represents the sum total of jobs created by the stimulus program to date. In fact, the 30,000 figure represents only the number of jobs created through federal contracts that have been awarded with stimulus funds, which is a small fraction of the total stimulus spending, and does not represent the total job impact of the $173 billion of stimulus funds that have been spent by the government thus far.
After attacking White House communications director Anita Dunn for stating that Mao Zedong was one of her "favorite political philosophers," Glenn Beck and right-wing bloggers have seized on "manufacturing czar" Ron Bloom's February 2008 statement that he agrees "with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun." However, numerous conservatives, including Newt Gingrich and John McCain, have approvingly cited the tactics of Mao, Vladimir Lenin, and the Viet Cong, stated that they had used those tactics in their political work, or have otherwise highlighted their philosophies, and yet have slipped under media conservatives' communist radar.
Continuing the smear campaign against Education Department official Kevin Jennings, Sean Hannity claimed that Jennings is in favor of "indoctrinat[ing]" schoolchildren about homosexuality, and radio talk show host Sandy Rios said of Jennings, "[W]e're talking about raping the innocence of our children." To support her claim, Rios falsely claimed that a passage in a book for which Jennings wrote the foreword describes a mother telling her 8-year-old daughter she was "attracted sexually" to the same girl her daughter liked.
Numerous conservative media figures have seized on the Nobel Committee's decision to award President Obama the Nobel Peace Prize as an excuse to attack Obama or his policies. Media conservatives previously rooted against Chicago's bid to host the 2016 Olympic Games, similarly using the bid as an excuse to attack Obama, and celebrated when the games were awarded to Rio de Janeiro.
In an October 7 post, right-wing blogger Gateway Pundit falsely claimed that President Obama "is forcing a private Catholic institution to cover abortion in its insurance plan," and Ed Morrissey similarly wrote on HotAir.com that the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) "demanded that a private Catholic college offer abortion" coverage. In fact, the EEOC -- in a letter of determination that did not address the issue of abortion -- stated that the institution, Belmont Abbey College, violated discrimination laws by denying employees health insurance coverage for "prescription contraceptive drugs."
Recently, the right-wing media have engaged in relentless attacks on President Obama and his administration and progressive organizations. Those attacks have repeatedly turned out to be based on demonstrably false claims -- such as the claim that Education Department official Kevin Jennings "cover[ed] up statutory rape."
Despite evidence to the contrary, Fox News -- led by Sean Hannity -- and other right-wing media have claimed that Department of Education official Kevin Jennings "cover[ed] up statutory rape" and violated Massachusetts law by not reporting to authorities a 1988 conversation in which a high school student told Jennings about his relationship with an older man. In fact, Jennings' attorney wrote in a 2004 letter that the student was 16 years old, which is -- and was at the time -- the legal age of consent in Massachusetts.

There I was
Sitting, with my eyes closed and my back against
The cold, strong, gritty, bare rock.
That felt powerful with the inborn energy of the earth
The cool ocean breeze ruffled my hair
Tickling my scalp and cheek as thin strands
Whisked their way around me
Like feathers brushing against skin
I sat quietly, listening to
The sounds all around me
The crashing of the ocean waves
The chirping of crickets
In the long meadowish grass below.
The birds wings pounding at the air
Lifting them high above me
Into the clouds
I breathe in deeply
Inhaling as the wind sweeps by
I can taste the salt in the air
It is calming and brings back
Memories of times past
But it also brings a sharpness
A change in the winds
A storm is coming
I open my eyes and look around
I see the waves on the ocean becoming larger
The trees are starting to sway with the wind
I look up and the white puffy clouds
That were there earlier have turned
Black, gray, dark, and ominous
It is time to go home
I sigh and turn towards my home
It is too soon
I want to stay and feel the peacefulness
Of the waves lapping on the shore
The wind ruffling my hair
The taste of the salt
And the sight of the ocean
But I will come back
Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow
But I will return.

CARACAS, Monday May 24, 2010 | Update
Expropriation of industrial estates has spread to the central state of Carabobo (Photo: Miraflores press office)
"If Polar continues hoarding goods, we will have to go after it." Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez instructed the Attorney General Office to investigate major food producer Polar. He asked for "a probe, because if they continue hoarding, we will have to go after Polar. We will not let anybody blackmail us."
The Venezuelan Head of State's warning came during his weekly radio and TV show Aló Presidente, broadcast from the municipality of San Diego, in central Carabobo state. The Venezuelan government is building in San Diego a section of a railway linking the towns of Puerto Cabello and La Encrucijada.
Chávez said that he did not want to take actions against Polar. He dared, however, to forecast the future of some divisions of food giant Empresas Polar if they were expropriated by the State.
"What is the government going to do with a brewery? I would close it. Is beer a national need? How many deaths have there been here due to Polar's beer? How many people have been wounded? How many street fights?"
In his speech about the future of beer production by Empresas Polar, President Chávez said: "This brewery could become an ice cream factory, a food processing plant. What will we do with a brewery? What for? It is not necessary. People get beer bellies, and their cholesterol grows higher and they turn crazy."
Chávez said that beer production is one of the tools used by capitalism. "It is our undoing. These are weapons to promote bad habits in our peoples. (They are used) to keep poor people dominated and exploited. That's the truth, the real truth."
After justifying the seizure of 120 tons of foodstuffs from Empresas Polar in Barquisimeto, northwestern Lara state, Chávez said, "(In Venezuela), we have a bourgeoisie that wants to hurt people through food. They are not going to make it. We will remove them progressively from the food distribution system."
At the same time, he criticized the stance of Polar employees. "I saw some workers defending Polar. Poor people! They are supporting those who exploit people, supporting the bourgeoisie. This makes me sad. The working class must be aligned with people, not with the bourgeoisie."
As regards squatting, the Venezuelan president urged authorities to "stop" squatters and "put them in jail."
One million barrels
Chávez said that many countries of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) lack the required conditions to meet the output ceiling agreed by the oil organization. As a result, Venezuela would increase crude oil production by about 1 million barrels a day from 2010 to 2015.
Finally, Chávez criticized the fact that the opposition included "a group of murderers" in their list of candidates to the National Assembly elections to be held in September 2010.

Definitions for baking
This page provides all possible meanings and translations of the word baking
Princeton's WordNet
making bread or cake or pastry etc.
cooking by dry heat in an oven
baking, baking hot(adj)
as hot as if in an oven
An action in which something is baked
I'm going to do some baking this afternoon.
The way in which something is baked
Intended for use in baking.
Here is a baking tray for the cookies.
Of a person, the weather, or an object, very hot.
I'm baking - could you open the window?
Webster Dictionary
of Bake
the act or process of cooking in an oven, or of drying and hardening by heat or cold
the quantity baked at once; a batch; as, a baking of bread
Baking is a food cooking method using prolonged dry heat acting by convection, rather than by thermal radiation, normally in an oven, but also in hot ashes, or on hot stones. The most common baked item is bread but many other types of foods are baked. Heat is gradually transferred "from the surface of cakes, cookies and breads to their centre. As heat travels through it transforms batters and doughs into baked goods with a firm dry crust and a softer centre". Baking can be combined with grilling to produce a hybrid barbecue variant, by using both methods simultaneously or one before the other, cooking twice. Baking is related to barbecuing because the concept of the masonry oven is similar to that of a smoke pit. Baking has been traditionally done at home by women for domestic consumption, by men in bakeries and restaurants for local consumption and when production was industrialised, by machines in large factories. The art and skill of baking remains a fundamental one and important for nutrition, as baked goods, especially breads, are a common food, economically and culturally important. A person who prepares baked goods as a profession is called a baker.

Albert Pujols turns 34 today. 492 home runs, 2,347 hits, three MVP Awards, two World Series rings and he's only 34. The former Cardinal/current Angel is the active leader in OPS at 1.0085. He's played in nine All-Star Games and holds an incredible .330/.439/.607 postseason slash line. Apologies, Brad Lidge.
But all this probably could've been predicted upon seeing Pujols hit his very first homer on April 6, 2001. It was an absolute no-doubter. The 21-year-old would go on to club 37 long balls, win NL Rookie of the Year honors and finish fourth in the NL MVP race.

Does anyone know how to add a default disclaimer or global disclaimer to all out going email from exchange 2003.
Please its been a long week/term/year already....
If your ISP/RBC does email content control then there might be an option to a disclaimer as part of the configuartion.
I think GFI also do a product which can add a disclaimer.
Otherwise, if you are really brave you can add one using event sinks.
Disclaimers are pointless legally and technically, don't bother.
County directive!
If the above links fail to convince you, there's option B.
You're not a lawyer, your not qualified to write one.
Yep event sink is one way.. http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?id=317327 or paid solution is another http://www.msexchange.org/software/Disclaimers/
OK Geoff
Im convinced
Can I go back to playing with Sharepoint & SQLserver :idea: now!!!!
Its much more fun than Exchange......
If you're sure that you need one (or someone is twisting your arm) as far as I understand it, GFI made the disclaimer part of their MailEssentials package freeware a while back.
It gives you a 60 day trial of the rest of the features but the disclaimer remains active and free after that...
I use Exclaimer on my exchange box to do this, works well good program and it does internal and external as well as many other items that can be useful.
I love this site... I was just give an Disclaimer to put on the outgoing email (yes I know its worthless but I have to do it) And this topic is a the top of the forum... WONDERFUL..Quote:

I like Sophos Puremessage, it does file blocking / quarenteining and can do basic disclaiming (never tried it though so don't ask me how good it is as I have not tried).
OK, I need to put a footer on all of our external bound e-mails.

Ok, so yesterday I decided to really push myself on the assisted pull-ups, so I did two extra sets (5 instead of 3) and upped my weight on the last set. All good, right? I felt good, I warmed up and cooled down, stretched, etc.
Well, I woke up the middle of the night with horrible neck pain on my left side. Like, from my shoulder to my ear felt like one giant stabbing cramp. I dragged myself into a warm shower at 3am, applied ice, popped ibuprofin. 6 hours later I'm still in bed-it's a little better but still really hurts!
Has anyone had this? Do you think I just overworked it and it cramped up??? Do you think heat/ice and stretching will help? I've never pulled a muscle or anything like that so I don't know what different muscle pains feel like.
I'm going to go to my doctor this afternoon but sometimes I doubt how much regular MDs know about specific problems like this. I bet they'll tell me to rest it, and that's it. Easy to do for a elementary school teacher, right?
I figured some fellow lifters might have experience. Yowch!!

A comment by one of the law librarians at the GODORT meeting last monday evening got me thinking. Since law libraries obviously have a strong desire and valid legal reasons to have certain govt information continue to be made available in paper, I think GPO should survey AALL members to build an essential titles list. What do y'all think of that?
