At The Same Developmental Milestone
"Why it takes longer at MY DAUGHTER'S turn?" I could see a panel of faculties sitting on the stage. I could observe their facial expression from this distance. I couldn't examine her countenance who's just giving me her back. I couldn't hear what they are keenly saying.
Feeling hot and soaking in sweat for seemingly very long moment, I consciously noticed she was coming down to me. When she said "The professors would like to talk with you", my excitement moved to higher degree. I myself witnessed all of the other students smoothly passed their entry interview in a snap of fingers. What's wrong with her?
His first comment made me wonder. "What a brave daughter you gave birth"!
He opened the conversation.
"Her matriculation score cannot guarantee to qualify what she applied to specialize. We suggested her to apply for other majors. She replied "NO". She said that's definitely what she wants to pursue. She has no reason to study what she is reluctant. Unless she has a chance to study in accordance with her desire, she would go to other apt institution for her plan B."
I have reached to the clear understanding. When he paused incessant talking, it's difficult to capture with words how and how much I adored my little daughter. What a remarkable attempt my daughter is doing.
Without hesitation, I just said I would admire whatever she chooses. He asked again the child. She was still persistent. I concluded remaining unchanged. He seemed so frustrated and ended with saying to wait for a week for the result.
Everybody noted what she did was so marvel. In this corrupted country, they are always seeking the victims. Without specifying any baseline, they used to say talented youths they would not qualify with their marks. Just give up the hopes or just bribe a huge sum.
Along with her admission to school without any bribe but with strong voice, her story appeared in the homepage of students' blog as a byword for fighting against corruption.
I always thought my youngest daughter is slow and shy unlike the elder twos. At a point, I learned she's also my proud of one. Unless she made such a bold appeal, I wouldn't have a daughter who's a female student in Myanmar Maritime University. And I would still probably be an unaware mother.
Dearest Insha Allah,
Your narrative is so detailed and well written - I can see the scene play out in front of me. Your sister's determination is both impressive and inspiring. You must be very proud of her, as I am sure your family is of you as well! :)
Best wishes,
Dear Insha Allah,
That sounds like such a rigorous selection process, what bravery it took for your sister and your mother to go through it together!
How wonderful that she can be an example not only to you and your family, too, but to your society. It is a great miracle indeed when patient perserverance wins over corruption.
*resolved this year to think twice and to smile twice before doing anything*

Introduction To Order Types: Duration
In addition to market, limit, stop and conditional orders, traders can also specify for how long they wish the order to be in effect; that is, how long the order will remain in the market until it is canceled (assuming it is not filled). Order entry interfaces typically provide several options; Figure 9 shows the options that are available on TradeStation (other trading platforms may have slightly different options).
Figure 9 - The various types of orders traders can use to specify how long an order will remain active in the market. Image created with TradeStation.
A day order automatically expires at the end of the regular trading session if it has not been executed. Many platforms use this as the default order duration. A "Day +" duration is valid until the end of the extended trading session.
Good-Til-Canceled - GTC
A good-til-canceled order is active until the trade is executed or the trader cancels the order. Brokers typically cancel GTC orders automatically if they have not been filled in 30 to 90 days.
Good-Til-Date - GTD
A GTD order remains active until a user-specified date, unless it has been filled or canceled.
Immediate-Or-Cancel - IOC
An IOC requires all or part of the order to be executed immediately; otherwise, the order (or any unfilled parts of the order) will be canceled.
Fill-Or-Kill - FOK
An FOK order must be filled immediately in its entirety or it will be canceled. Partial fills are not accepted with this type of order duration.
Similar to an FOK, an AON order will be canceled if the order cannot be filled in its entirety by the end of the trading session. Partial fills are not accepted with this type of order duration.
An at-the-opening order will be executed upon the opening of the trading session. If the order cannot be executed at the open, it will be canceled.
At the close (or "on close") orders are executed at the close of the trading session, at or as close to the closing price as possible.
Minute orders expire after the specified number of minutes has elapsed. Common intervals include one-, three- and five-minute order durations.
Knowing how to trade can be important as knowing when to trade. Understanding the different order types and how to apply them can help traders streamline the order entry process and avoid costly slippage and unnecessary losses.
Advanced order types, such as OCO and OSO orders, act as a basic form of trade automation, since many of the orders, once defined, are handled by the trading platform. Trade automation, whether at a basic level or as a fully automated trading system, can help traders control emotions, avoid costly pilot error mistakes and protect open trades with profit targets, stops and trailing stops.

Toyota Corolla
kato1 Posts: 64here is the latest article on jd powers survey:
well, guess what the #1 compact car was?--yours truly.
granted, these surveys dont measure long term reliability, but my guess is if your car has a lot of problems early on, that doesn't bode well for its long term reliability.
hyundai at #3 overall--definitely a force to be reckoned with.
there is a chart in the june 8 wall street journal of all the name plates.
toyotafreek Posts: 16I bought my daughter a Corolla S in 2002 when she was a sophomore in high school. She will be a senior at Penn State this fall. She used it for over 4 years, put 55,000 miles on it, and traded it this morning. We got $9,500 for it. I think we paid about $16,500. Even more importantly, other than routine maintenance and new brakes, we haven't spent 10 cents on it.
Yes, Toyota makes the most reliable car on the planet. They almost always get top ratings in the JD Powers Consumer Reports, etc. ratings, and also mechanics that work on all makes say that Toyota is the most reliable. They may not be the most flashy, or "coolest" or quickest, but they always get you there!!
campanale Posts: 7lance,
I too have been asking this question to several dealers & to Toyota online. I CANNOT get an answer as to the release date of the 07's, nor can I get any information gegarding New Models, 2 Door, etc....
I think its gonna be sometime in September, as I am anxious to see Whats New....
My wife damaged the front of our 05 S. The lower grill and left front spoiler need to be replaced. The insurance company wrote her a check for the estimate in excess of the deductible. I am thinking I might try to find the parts and, with a couple of hours and a few beers, replace them myself.
What do you folks think about that? Can you offer any leads on where I might find parts like that?
rsone Posts: 5Hey Beernut: I have purchased a few items from e-bay, tail lights, head lights, grill and cold air intake. I would suggest to stay away from the $20.00 grills they don't fit properly. If you need a right front stock head light or 2 tail lights I have those for sale. Cheers, Roger.
I bought a 2006 Corolla CE Special Edition, loaded (all power, moonroof, alloys, cruise), at the end of March. I'd like to share a few impressions....
Overall, of course, the Corolla is an excellent car for the money. Fit and finish is great for an economy car, the interior is really nice for its class. The engine is very refined and fuel economy is outstanding.
But I'm having a really hard time adjusting to this car. I knew when I bought it that it was not a "driver's car", and that was OK, but I didn't realize exactly how much that was true.
The engine is smooth and well designed, but it definitely lacks not only in horsepower, but especially in low end torque. I assume that Toyota will address this in the next generation, to compete with a slew of new models in this class that have raised the bar. Similarly, I'm sure they will add things like ABS, side curtain air bags, and maybe active headrests as standard to meet the direct competition (i.e. the new Civic).
My main issue however is the seating position. I'm average sized - 5'8" and 180 lbs - and I just CANNOT get comfortable in this car. I have tried every possible combination and permutation of seat adjustment. If the seat is set back to where the legs are comfortable, the steering wheel is too far away. It has tilt, but not telescopic...in my opinion it needs telescopic steering BIG time. And the seat height adjustment is awful....if you raise it, it tilts the back of the seat forward (very uncomfortable) rather than raising the entire seat. And the seat cushion is a couple inches too short (even for me) to properly support the thighs.
I've owned many, many vehicles in my life...hatchbacks, sedans, sports cars, pickup trucks, SUVs...and I've never had this kind of trouble getting comfortable. I've had the car for several months, and not a day goes by that I don't fiddle with the seat yet again....
Arrrrghhhhhhhh. Otherwise I really like this vehicle. Is this something other people have noticed as well?
Any thoughts would be appreciated...thanks...
Barnee :confuse:
I feel your pain. I have exactly this same problem with the Corolla. A shame, too, because otherwise it's a nice little car.
Actually I have driven other cars that have this same kind of problem, but it seems worse to me in the Corolla than most any other car.
You might try getting a cushion that supports your thighs, so you can move the seat closer to the wheel. If that doesn't help, the good news is that Corollas are very popular and have good resale value.
acap0710 Posts: 1I have a 2002 Corolla S. This morning, I started the car and the Fuel gauge when straigt below the E indicator. I dont have a fuel leak and the gas indicator light did not come on to indicate that my tank was empty. I drove to the gas station and filled the tank and the gauge remained below the E level. The car is running perfectly fine. It just seems the gauge isn't working. Has anyone had this problem? Any ideas as to what this problem is?

The CE Special Edition is sold in the Canadian market, you can configure it on toyota.ca. It's essentially the CE with the "C" package (PW, PL, etc.), plus they throw in alloys and the power moonroof on top of that and give it an "SE" badge. I had the dealer add the cruise for $222.
I test drove the 06 Corolla and also the Camry. I am still unsure which i will buy but the less-comfortable Corolla seat would be one of two reasons for me to prefer the Camry( the other is the way the rear headrests create a blind spot that completely hides a truck - but i am very short.)
If I go back for another final drive I am going to take my
Obus Forme seatback and cushion. Maybe that would help you?
BY the way,did Toyota budge at all on the price? I cannot get them to go down a penny.I am also in canada, and a hopeless negotiator,but wonder if it is still Toyota policy.
BY the way,did Toyota budge at all on the price? I cannot get them to go down a penny.I am also in canada, and a hopeless negotiator,but wonder if it is still Toyota policy.
It's not Toyota policy. If you are a hopeless negotiater try Automobile Protection Association. They won't get you the very best deal possible but they will get you a deal that is better than you will achieve on your own.
I got mine for $800 over cost. There is only about $1200 of profit in the Corolla CE, so I saved about $400. $400 to $500 is probably a reasonable discount on a Corolla.
What I did: I got a breakdown of the dealer invoice (cost) from Car Cost Canada (www.carcostcanada.com). It's a great service. Included with the invoice was a quick offer from one of the local dealers to sell for $800 over cost. I took it, because it was reasonable, and I didn't want to spend hours haggling to get it down to $500 or $600 over cost. As I said, there was only $1200 of "wiggle room" in the car I bought, and Corollas are popular so they don't give them away with ridiculous incentives like GM products.
If you really hate negotiating, you could try going through a service called Dealfinder. It is run by a guy here in Ottawa called Bob Prest. He gets great deals on Toyotas, usually for just a few hundred dollars over cost. He charges a $150 fee though, but it's well worth it if you hate the "dealing" part. He has a website at www.dealfinder.ca I haven't used him myself (I'm used to the dealer experience and I don't get intimidated by the process), but I have heard very good things, and his reputation and service are solid.
So there's 2 options for you. Good luck!
Thanks, both of you. I am in BC, so not sure how it will work but will definitely check out all three.I understand some dealers here have been offering to pay the GST in order to woo customers waiting for the July 1st 1% drop.
I think I am the kind of customer with sucker written across my forehead.
I am leaning towards the Camry and that slightly awkward seat and blind spot in the Corolla are the reason.
One more question - where do you get the Maple Leaf in your posts?

On Jan. 14, ACA testified before the New Hampshire House Environment and Agriculture Committee in support of HB 1570, "An Act Establishing a Paint Stewardship Program." Introduced on Jan. 8 by five Democrats, HB 1570, if enacted, would bring the PaintCare® program to New Hampshire. Since 2008, Oregon, California, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Vermont, Minnesota, and Maine have enacted the ACA- and industry-conceived platform for the proper and effective management of post-consumer paint. On Jan. 15, ACA also testified on similar legislation before the Washington House Committee on Environment, H.B. 1579, "An Act Relating to Paint Stewardship." Last February, ACA testified before the Washington Senate Environment Committee in support of the Senate companion bill, S.B. 5424, "An Act Relating to Paint Stewardship."
In its testimony in both New Hampshire and Washington, ACA noted that the association, along with its industry, is committed to finding a viable solution to the issue of post-consumer paint, which is often the number one product, by volume and cost, coming into Hazardous Household Waste (HHW) programs. ACA also pointed to the resounding success of its PaintCare® pilot program in Oregon, as well as the more than a of success of similar programming in Canada.
ACA believes that PaintCare® legislation will also be pursued in Colorado, Illinois, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. Other states that have expressed interest are Florida, Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. The program has been very successful –many state and local governments dealing with leftover paint are interested in bringing the program to their state. One of ACA's goals is to make this legislation consistent across all states so that program implementation can truly be nationally coordinated and manufacturers and consumers of paint do not have differing programs across state lines.
ACA created PaintCare®, a 501(c)(3) organization whose sole purpose is to ensure effective operation and efficient administration of paint product stewardship programs, on behalf of all architectural paint manufacturers in the United States. PaintCare® undertakes the responsibility for ensuring an environmentally sound and cost-effective program by developing and implementing strategies to reduce the generation of post-consumer architectural paint; promoting the reuse of post-consumer architectural paint; and providing for the collection, transport, and processing of post-consumer architectural paint using the hierarchy of "reduce, reuse, recycle," and proper disposal.
The program is designed to relieve a considerable financial burden on local governments, who currently fund these programs. Of the $3.3 million spent on expenses in just the first year of the program in Oregon, 83 percent went back out to Oregon service providers, both municipal and private, as a direct cost savings to taxpayers. Portland Metro, alone, reported that the total benefit of the PaintCare® program in that region of Oregon was in excess of $1 million a year.
ACA underscored that legislation is necessary for implementing the program because it provides two necessary elements for the paint industry to institute a product stewardship program. "These elements are a level playing field among all producers and retailers, and the need for a sustainable financing system engaging the consumer," stated ACA testimony. "Unless all manufacturers and retailers participate in the program, and participate in a uniform manner, this type of program could lead to competitive advantages and disadvantages within the industry and among producers and retailers. In addition, when it comes to financing a system such as this, competitors cannot agree on the 'price of products or services' even for a good cause, without running afoul of anti-trust regulations. This bill ensures a sustainable financing system for the program, where all architectural paint manufacturers selling in Washington will fund the program through an assessment added to their current price of paint."
The assessment will be uniform and will then be passed down through wholesale and retail sales of paint in the state in order to ensure competitive disadvantages do not occur, particularly to state manufacturers and retailers. This assessment will be used to fund paint collection, reuse, recycling, and disposal activities — not only in the areas that are now being serviced, but in additional underserviced areas of the state, as well. As such, ACA emphasized that consumers who did not have access to these programs, or who had to pay additional fees for such services (e.g., painting contractors) would be entitled to use the program at no additional charge. That means that consumers will have more places to take leftover paint, and contractors will now have the opportunity to drop off leftover paint for recycling and proper disposal without having to pay a fee at the point of collection.
The funding for the program will cover the cost of all paint — not just new paint sold, but all the legacy paint already in consumers' basements and garages.
The assessment will also go toward consumer education and outreach for the program, as well as administrative costs. ACA noted that consumer education is paramount with this type of program, since paint is a consumable product. ACA maintained that manufacturers do not produce paint to be thrown away — it is not inherently recyclable — but to be used up. In order to work toward a goal of post-consumer paint waste minimization, the consumer must be engaged. PaintCare®'s educational program does not just focus on recycling and proper management of unwanted paint, but on buying the right amount of paint and reuse opportunities that can help reduce the generation of leftover paint in the first place.
To further ensure fairness and consumer protection, the bill specifies that the assessment funding the program must be approved by an independent audit submitted to the state Department of Environment/Environmental Services and must be set at a rate to cover only the cost to manage and sustain the program.
ACA worked with the states' Department of Environment/Environmental Services, as well as the states' local waste authorities, HHW program managers, and Product Stewardship Councils and other stakeholders to refine the legislation from previous iterations.

ForeclosureIt's cold, but not cold enough to feel like February. I'd forgotten how quiet it gets here. I'd forgotten how tucked away this house really was - plopped and precarious on a hill in the middle of suburbia, surrounded by rows and rows of town homes and nearly identical houses. The house across the street is actually a mirror image (I remember going inside when I was a child, to play with a long-lost-and-forgotten friend), except it's painted pale peach instead of peeling periwinkle.
Not periwinkle, really. Cerulean? No. Blue. Just blue.
"I don't really like this feeling I'm getting from this place." she says.
"It's haunted," I reply. I cross the sloping lawn, which was always impossible to water.
You could stick the sprinkler on it for hours and have nothing to show for it. The top of the hill would be yellow and the bottom would be muddy and the Homeowner's Association would still badger for green.

King Arthur.
You lived once
(or did you? Historians are unsure but -
let us assume you did.)
I am fascinated by you.
Not the legends, but you, the Arthur that was.
The Arthur that wrote his name on England's soil,
its roots, its heart, and disappeared into
shadow, pulling cloths of darkness around you
leaving a burning after-image of your light
that flashes still on our eyelids.
Or 518.
Ancient Britain.
You won a battle on Mount Badon
and for forty years after a torn apart Britain knew peace
and the world speaks of you still.
Who were you, Arthur? We know so little,
it was so long ago.
But you, Arthur, you held back the Saxons
the tide of invasion;
you held power in a little rainy island that contained the crumbling
aftertaste of Rome and the wild and ancient passion of the Celts
and the ever encroaching newcomers
from across the seas, with their weapons,
their boats -
and for whatever reason
you were remembered.

This book appeared some years ago, but it has only just come to my attention as one of the very few expositions of Jacobitism and paternalistic traditionalism to be written in England in modern times. It is always encouraging to encounter another Jacobite voice, even if I do not agree with everything in David Lindsay's book. Lindsay is absolutely right to locate the original ideals of the Labour Party of Keir Hardie within the old High Tory tradition, and this is surely the book's major insight – that the old Labour Party of the 19th and early 20th centuries was never intended as a Trojan Horse for Marxism, but rather enjoyed the allegiance of the working class combined with eccentric members of the aristocracy. In other words, just as the Tory government of Queen Anne (the last true Tory government) was founded on an alliance of the monarchy, the aristocracy and the loyalty of the lower orders (to the exclusion of the mercantile class), so the old Labour Party attempted something similar. Not to mention the fact that the social paternalism of old-fashioned Toryism is far closer in spirit to left-wing socialism than anything espoused by self-styled Tories after 1832, or even after 1714. The Labour Party was an attempt at an alliance between the aristocracy and the working class (even if its rhetoric attacked the aristocracy), as opposed to the alliance of the aristocracy and the bourgeoisie that had characterised both the Whig and Tory parties in the 19th century.
'Old Labour High Tory' is thus not a contradiction at all, and Lindsay bolsters the coherence of his political position by linking the old High Tory tradition of social paternalism to the Catholic social teaching of Pope Leo XIII. Where I part company with Lindsay is on his ultramontanism. He insists that the rise of princely absolutism retarded the 'social reign of Christ', which could only be enabled by the policies of the ultramontane 19th century Popes. The problem with Lindsay's ultramontanism is that it undermines his Jacobite credentials. There is a chapter in his book that argues that the American Revolution was an echo of a residual Jacobite dissatisfaction with the Whig and Hanoverian settlement, but I am not confident that Lindsay really understands what Jacobites believed. Like many English Catholics, his interest in Jacobitism would appear to be stimulated by a belief that it represents a Catholic political ideology – but without a critical consideration of whether the 'Catholicism' defended by Jacobites was the Catholicism of Pio Nono and Benedict XVI. To be fair to Lindsay, he is happy to acknowledge the contribution of nonconformists and Scottish Episcopalians to the Jacobite tradition (he makes little or no mention of English Non-Jurors), but he does not seem to have given thought to the fact that Catholic Jacobites were not ultramontane in their views of the Papacy. Or if he has considered this (he mentions that Innocent XI illuminated the Lateran Palace after the Battle of the Boyne) then he is putting forward what is, in effect, an anti-Jacobite view. Lindsay appears to be in favour of England's close ties with America, and uses his argument that the American republic was inspired by Jacobitism to justify this, but at the same time he appears to reject the ideal of monarchical absolutism and the legitimacy of James II's campaign in Ireland. Lindsay may be right that the Founding Fathers of the USA were inspired by an earlier British tradition of political dissent, but he does not seem to take Jacobitism seriously.
The most serious failing of Lindsay's book, in my view, is his approach to Ireland, Scotland and Wales. Lindsay is an unabashed unionist, and he argues that because the Catholic church consistently adopted a unionist position in the 19th century, the only consistent position for a Catholic is unionism. He characterises the heroes of 1916 as a self-interested lunatic fringe and even attempts to argue that the Act of Union of 1801 benefitted Ireland, dismissing the potato famine as a natural disaster that would have happened anyway, and which the British government worked hard to alleviate. Were I an Irishman, I would find Lindsay's argument offensive. I am astonished that anyone could still argue that the English crown's claim to Ireland was founded on Hadrian IV's grant of the Lordship of Ireland to Henry II – this presupposes an ultramontane understanding of the Pope's temporal power that was long since repudiated even by the Papacy itself. Furthermore, Lindsay seems to ignore that fact that it was the less-than-ultramontane Henry VIII who assumed the title 'King of Ireland', in defiance of Papal claims that Ireland was a fief of the Holy See. Ireland already had quite a few kings of its own in 1171 (and indeed still had them in 1541). By disregarding the legitimate claims of those kings, Lindsay makes a nonsense of the legitimism he champions elsewhere in the book – legitimism, it would seem, only applies to a fully developed nation-state.
Lindsay's lack of understanding of Ireland continues into his claim that Irish republicanism was a foreign import inspired by the French Revolution, without any consideration of how native traditions of dissent, such as the Catholic Confederation and Whiteboyism, might have contributed to the rising of the United Irishmen. Irish republicanism arose from a dissatisfaction with British rule, but also resentment at the imposition of an English concept of the nation-state on what remained an essentially pre-modern clan-based society – and thus the republican tradition is as much an assertion of ancient Irish ideas of sovereignty than it is an anti-monarchical or French innovation. Sovereignty over Ireland lies with the men and women in whose veins runs the blood of the ancient Irish kings who were deprived of their birthright by an occupying power, making a republic the only 'legitimist' form of government appropriate to Ireland.
Lindsay's claim that Irish republicans are anti-Catholic is a distortion of the facts. Anti-clericalism is indeed a strand within Irish republican polemic, which often regarded the clergy (and the bishops in particular) as apologists for the British occupation, but this did not mean that Irish republicans had any desire to exclude the Catholic church from Irish life or impose a kind of secularism. It is true that the early Irish republican movement included both Catholics and Protestants, but this did not diminish their commitment to a Catholic Ireland. In contemporary Ireland, the best way for the state to save the church from itself is to break many of the bonds forged by De Valera – and Enda Kenny is making a heroic effort to give the Catholic church in Ireland breathing space to re-establish its moral authority, as opposed to its state-sanctioned position of privilege. When it comes to Scotland and Wales, Lindsay is even more dismissive – principally because he sees the Scottish and Welsh nationalists as complicit in an attempt to draw Britain ever more closely into the European Union. Whilst I respect Lindsay's scepticism of Europe (even if I do not entirely share it), I believe that his book needed to deal a little more seriously with the Scottish question.
Overall, Lindsay's book is strong as a commentary on the history of the British Labour Party (and indeed British politics in general), but weak on historical understanding of Jacobitism and a real appreciation of Irish politics and history. His narrative is vitiated throughout by an uncritical ultramontanism that imposes a narrow 19th century version of Catholicism on earlier eras and on contemporary events. I suggest a second edition with the adulation of the Papacy excised – that would be a magnificent book.

Consumers have green intentions, need business to leadSeptember 15th, 2008 by skigreenguy | Filed under Ecotravel, Green Ski Transportation, How to Ski Green, Ski Resorts, Ski Vacations.
Consumers want to act green, but they expect businesses to lead the way. According a Stanford University global survey, 61 percent of consumers say that corporations should take the lead in tackling the issue of climate change. To do this, businesses need to develop more and better Earth-friendly products. Some already are, but they are not doing a good job of marketing them, finds a Climate Group study, which discovered that two-thirds of American and British consumers cannot name a green brand. Similarly, the 2007 National Technology Readiness Survey of 1,025 U.S. adults found that more than two thirds of participants say they prefer to do business with environmentally responsible companies, but almost half say it is difficult to find green goods and services.
To realize the true potential of the green market, businesses must help consumers change their behaviors. And that requires removing the hurdles between would-be green consumers' intentions and actions. Based on McKinsey's work with businesses and other organizations around the world, they recommend five steps that businesses and other organizations should take to dismantle the barriers that prevent consumers from buying green.

Just chucked together a couple of Jubilee wallpapers at the relevant resolutions ready to push out with BGInfo tomorrow, thought some others might like 'em :) kept them simple so desktop icons are still visible.
One's 1280 x 1024, t'others 1920 x 1080. Should be obvious which is which ;)
The logo doesn't fill the background because the version I'll use has got a stripe across the top with our school logo & name, but I took that off for these version. I can always chuck the PSDs up if people want to play some more, anyway.

Hi Lex!!! Look, I'm cool and I'm posting a comment! This is the first chance I've had to check out your pics and stuff and it looks like you are having a BLAST! I'm way jealous. Not that New Brighton isn't fun... haha. I'm so glad that you're getting to see and do so much, and I'm sure you're meeting lots of cool people. By the way, you're totally the cutest girl on the ship, I can tell from the pics! I miss you TONS and can't wait to see you again in August. Oh, and don't worry, there are letters on the way to you as we speak! I just hope I mailed them right... Love you!!

Okay, so I know it has been a while since I have updated this, but the internet on the ship is down. So we pulled into Norway at about 6am on Wednesday. Andrew, Cameron, Jason and I decided to go to Oslo, which is the capital. So we bought train tickets (we accidently bought 12 because we bought them on a computer in an internet cafe and we didn't understand what the page was saying) and waiting around town until our train left at 4pm. The train ride over the mountains was absolutely amazing. I honestly can't describe how beautiful this country is. Right outside of Bergen, which is the city the ship is docked in, there is this amazing lake. I want to move here and have a house on that lake. After all of the lakes, we went a little higher up into the mountains and there was snow! it was so cool. Then we kept passing these houses along the way. There would be like two houses that were like 20 miles away from everything, we couldn't figure out how people lived there
Now I am just hanging around Bergen, which is absolutely beautiful. I love it here. I fully plan to move here after college. There are fountains everywhere and parks too. The buildings are all really cute and there are cobble stone streets. Well, that is all for now! I miss you all!

It was a cold, gray morning in the courtyard where the current novices stood in their training armor. Their "armor" was little more than weighted training clothes (Actual Mandalorian armor was hard to come by and was only awarded to Protectors). The motley assembly of adults, small children, and awkward teens stood in formation yawning, with tired and hollow eyes.
It had rained hard the night before, during the raid.
The Adjudicator who presided over the Protectors was a grizzled and gray-haired Mandalorian human with a face as weathered as the faded armor he wore.
"After the events of last night, three new Protectors have been named – to ride as Unproven," The Adjudicator growled through scarred vocal cords. He wore the tell-tale sign of a Protector – A red sash cloth under his gun belt. Protectors who were awarded specific territory wore red. Brown sashes went to the Journeyman Protectors. Journeyman Protectors were not limited by "jurisdiction" and roamed the uncivilized landscape enforcing the law, hunting fugitives and keeping the peace of Concord Dawn.
It was a somber graduation ceremony. The only decorations in place were the dark bloodstains across the faded gray pavement; from raiders and novices alike that had been killed the night before. After the trials and training they had endured, they would have felt cheated…that is if they had been able to feel anything beyond utterly exhausted.
"You have earned your weapons. You have earned your armor. You have earned the cloth of the Protector!" The Adjudicator raised a long blue cloth – The sash of the Unproven Protector. It was theirs to wear as they rode alongside and were mentored by a Proven Journeyman Protector until they earned the honor to wear the red or the brown… or merely proved they were unworthy of being Protector at all.
[OOC: Welcome to Concord Dawn! Come join the struggles and hardships of the wild frontier of this uncivilized world in the Outer Rim! Join as one of the newly appointed Unproven Protectors (3 openings only) and describe yourself as you select your Mandalorian armor and weapons from the Armory and hit the road with your new mentor.
You may also play as farmer or settler of Concord Dawn and get your own homestead going. Play as an established Protector and sheriff over your own town and territory or as an offworlder with your own unique story and agenda.
Just try to not get eaten alive by the harsh creatures, the elements, or those sentient species cutting out a life for themselves on the uncivilized world of Concord Dawn, or worse, those that keep the unforgiving laws of it.
Be sure to fill out the following character sheet:
Age: (Protectors may be chosen at any age but must be able and strong enough to work as a field hand, wear Mandalorian Armor, and handle a myriad of melee weapons.)
Sex: (Yes! Females can be Protectors!)
Species: (Concord Dawn is a largely unpopulated world and any species looking to carve out their own life are welcome to try their hand.
Brief History: (The majority of Protectors come from humble origins; either orphaned from unfortunate circumstances, unable to find work or from a family with simply too many mouths to feed – Though only the exceptional survive the rigorous training of a Protector)
I plan on this being a slow and steady RPG as the boards don't seem too active. I know you guys get busy so just feel free to just post what you can. If you're inactive for too long I can bypass the story around you until you get the chance to start writing again.
Rules: No flaming, no controlling others characters without permission and feel free to ask me questions or for help getting started if you need it.
In the spirit of Red vs Blue no killing other players but npc's are fine.
Also no open swearing, come up with a one name nickname for your character. This will hopefully be fun and funny not overly serious.
Affiliation : Blue
Name: Wayne Griffin
Callsign: Twitch
Rank: Private
Setting is on Reach where the Covenant have been driven off planet but some of their tech and structures are still arround.
Coast line under cloak tower is where Blue base is located. Red base is inland and visable from Blue base.
Twitch was on night watch, he liked it because it was dark and there was nothing to watch. As he walked allong the cloak towers top teir he wondered to himself ("I wonder if the reds are watching me? No they can't it is dark and therefore safe up here far from the reds.") Just as his thought bubble collapsed a loud crash and explosion happed at the bottom of the tower.
"S.O.B." Twitch yelled.
"Twitch to Blue base come in. Over."
RULES: The time setting I've decided to go with is just at the beginning of the galactic civil war, as such I'd be interested in seing acouple jedi/sith so long as they interact with the main story and as long as there isn't a plethera of them. It just won't do to have thirty billion jedi running around after the near extinction of force users. As well for those of you who do decide to choose jedi, please exercise caution in how your characters interact with the enviroment. An extremely hunted down jedi isn't going to run around slaying Imperials. Other than that, I merely ask that all of you keep in accordance to the timeframe. For instamce your character shouldn't be someone or something that should be dead. Although some exceptions can be made under the right circumstances. Atop that just keep your roleplaying realistic to a sense of carrying capacity, wealth, injury, and location/action. If someone blows something up like a building, one can't be chilling in that building that just got blown to pieces. Beyond that have fun Questiions and concerns can be directed to me if necessary but i think we're all able to understand the general rules.
STORY: The galaxy is headed into conflict once more as the rebellion grows stronger, bolder, now recognized by the empire as a true threat. However the galaxy is not limited to this fight alon as the galaxy is certainly no "safe" place. And on the planet of Mandaloria, fissures have begun to grow between brothers. The search for a new Mand' alor has been in progress for some time. Each day, by and by, more attempt to claim the title for themselves. Whether through false cries of lineage to Fett or by claims of ability to unite and guide the Mandalorian people. As more and more attempt to grasp the title of greatest, the fissures grow deeper and farther apart. Many have already chosen their allegiances, whther to themselves or to another. As tensions rise, conflict seems inevitable, and many feel that a civil war amongst the galaxy's greatest warriors is close at hand.

Setting: Over three thousand years before the movies – taking place one month after the events of SW: Red Harvest (this is prior to Darth Bane's time).
Location: Initially on a planet called Odacer-Faustin where a Sith Academy had been. Then moving back to an isolated planet on the mid rim called Notix Prime – landscape: barren wasteland (think something like Mars but with more mountainous terrain).
Background: On Odacer-Faustin, Darth Scabrous discovered an ancient Sith secret that potentially promised eternal life. However the formula is flawed, it kills and reanimates the subject turning it into an insatiably hungry zombie.
The only way to stop a zombie is to cut it into as many pieces as possible. Decapitation doesn't work as the head and body will continue to function separately (eg, the body could pick up the head and throw it at your character).
The Rules:
1. You may create any character you want. Clarify their name and species so others can follow their actions easily.
2. You can kill characters you create but you can't kill other people's characters unless they say they have been killed in battle with you. However you can wound other people's characters. Zombies are fair game.
3. You can have any weapon you want but you can only have what your character could physically carry - otherwise they wouldn't be able to move.
4. Be consistent, eg if someone says they blew up a building, don't suddenly be assaulting it.
5. If you have sustained many wounds you will have to either get medical help or eventually die. If you're a Jedi you can use the Force to help heal yourself - if that's one of your powers. If you're bitten by a zombie, you will become infected.
6. Follow the storyline, sure add a few twists and turns but allow others to see where you want to go so they can help you get there.
7. Don't be overly gruesome, younger readers may want to take part.
8. Have fun.
Info: Sith Ranks: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sith
SW: Red Harvest: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Red_Harvest_%28novel%29
Name: Darth Tibullus
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 43
Affiliation: Sith
Rank: Sith Master
Appearance: Typical Sith, dark robes, gaunt face, yellow eyes. Tribal tattoo down the right side of his face to add to his fearsome visage, he only carries one lightsabre.
Apprentice: Rarja Telkent, human female (I will also be writing for Rarja)
Let us begin...
Darth Tibullus stood at the helm of his ship Vendetta watching as the frozen world of Odacer-Faustin came into view. The pilot made some comment about lack of communication from the ground and Darth Tibullus merely waved his hand with little concern, "Go down regardless."
He already knew that communications were down. He'd had five spies on the ground at Darth Scabrous' Academy. All of them had been silent for a number of weeks and that meant something was going on.
He'd tried contacting Lord Shak'Weth, the blademaster, however there had been no response. There had been no consideration in contacting Darth Scabrous as Tibullus knew he would not answer for his own twisted reasons.
From the spies' last reports, Darth Tibullus knew that Scabrous was up to something. He'd locked himself in his demented tower, hardly showing himself to the occupants of the academy. It was also reported that a handful of students had gone missing recently, there was much speculation but generally the populace thought that Scabrous was abducting them for a darker purpose.
As the ship drew closer Tibullus was able to see that the tower was no longer standing, it appeared to have been destroyed in some sort of explosion. The buildings surrounding it were also impacted by the blast.
A further look and Tibullus noticed that the ancient library had also been destroyed, although it looked more from fire than an actual explosion.
Beside the pilot a Sith soldier, that Tibullus hadn't bothered to remember the name of, tapped steadily at his controls. "Darth Tibullus, the readouts indicate an explosion in the tower area. There are no life signs in the vicinity."
Tibullus raised a dark eyebrow, "Interesting, the student population was in the hundreds. Perhaps the explosion killed them all."
The Sith soldier continued on, "Even in such circumstances there's usually at least one or two survivors that have found shelter. Should we investigate?"
Tibullus scowled at the Sith soldier, to suggest a course of action to a Sith Master was something to be frowned upon in the least. "Since you're full of ideas, soldier, you can lead the landing party. Make sure you take a Sith Lord with you, I will await your return. Be sure you have the data I need." Tibullus said with a sinister edge to his tone. He raised his hand and pinched his fingers together in the unmistakable gesture of a Force choke grip.
"Yes sir," said the soldier as he departed.
(Anyone please feel free to take up the role of the Sith Soldier or Sith Lord going out, Rarja Telkent will be part of the landing party).]]>
hope you join]]>
In this quiz, instead of simply giving you a few options to choose from, read the scenario and state what your trooper would do in that situation. Furthermore, state why your agent chose that course of action and where on the light/grey/dark spectrum you believe your decision resides.
Good luck smuggler, you may need it.
1) You are headed through a rough patch of space when you hear a loud crash coming from your cargo hold. After navigationg the hazards of space you go back to investigate if anything has happened to the weapons shipment you were smuggling. However, as you enter the hold you spot an exoticly alluring alien gagged and bound in chains next to an open crate. There are several other similar crates in your hold, and a few of them could contain multiple people if they packed them tight enough. The alien's expression shifts between defiant and pleading. By all appearances you have actually been smuggling slaves instead of blasters. What do you do?
Do you untie the alien and try to learn more, or do you simply stuff them back into the crate and fly on? Seeing as how valuable slaves are do you call back your client and demand more money, or do you simply skim profits off from somewhere else? Do you hand them over to the republic, or do you simply drop them on the nearest habitable world, assuming you're even feeling that generous? What does your smuggler do when faced with deception and the unexpected?
2) You are in a cantina the night before you embark on a dangerous supply run through a heavily blockaded system. Several other smugglers have tried this run without success, and the resistance fighters who need the supplies have offered you a massive sum. However as you are enjoying your drink an attractive stranger takes a seat next to you and out of the blue states that your client cannot pay all of what they offered. The agent next to you offers you a deal; information on the resistance for assurance that you will be permitted to pass through certain imperial checkpoints in the future. The agent leaves with a stunning smile and hands you a room key and contact information. What do you do?
Do you laugh it off and order another round; confident that the agent was full of it, and that nothing in the galaxy could hope to catch you? Do you consider the agent's offer as a helping hand in the right places never hurt anybody? Do you confront your client with this revelation, or do you simply blow the job off? Who can your smuggler trust in a galaxy full of dishonorable sorts?
3) You learn that an evil criminal organization has placed a large bounty on your head after you compleated a job for one of their rivals. The bounty hunter has a fearsome reputation for tenacity and bringing in their targets alive (although considering who they're being given to, death might be preferable.) With the devil's own luck you also manage to learn of a weak spot in the bounty hunter's armor; the bounty hunter's sibling. The slightly younger sibling is sickly, under the criminal organization's thumb, easy on the eyes and largely isolated from their sibling's help. What do you do?
Do you ignore the information you just overheard and lead the bounty hunter on a grand chase, tossing one-liners over your shoulder every step of the way? Do you help free the sick captive, hoping that the bounty hunter will be grateful enough to stop or do you take them hostage yourself and demand that the chase end? Do you try to convince the sibling of your noble intentions and get them on your side? Do you simply confront or kill the bounty hunter with an elaborate trap or head on with blaster pistols at twenty paces? What does honor mean to you character-assuming it means anything to begin with?
4) You are on a highly important top-secret mission for the republic ferrying a headstrong and strangely attractive jedi knight to-er, well you were paid not to talk about that. Along the way your ship picks up a distress signal from a republic cruiser. The cruiser has been ambushed by a large sith task force and are requesting reinforcements from anyone who can hear them.After they announce that their shields are down; the jedi waves their hand in your general direction and states sternly "we will go and assist them." You manage to catch yourself right before you reach for the hyperdrive. The cruiser announces that it's lost the last of it's fighter escort. What do you do?
Do you punch in the coordinates to lightspeed anyway and try to look for survivors; trusting that the force is guiding the jedi and they know what they're doing? Do you ignore the distress signal and try to remind the jedi of that super-duper-tippy-top-maxi-extreme-ultra-secret mission they were supposed to be on? And hey, before that! What about the whole "you tried to violate my mind" thing the jedi just did? Are you going to call your passenger out on that or do you simply write it off as something that all jedi just do? What sort of relationship does your smuggler have with the force-using population?
5) Hah! Paydirt! After a particularly lucrative job you walk away with a substantial amount of cash- maybe not more than you could ever dream of, but still a hefty sum. Any mates you have on board are taking a nice long shore leave to get "aquainted" with the locals. What does your smuggler do with the lion's share of the haul? Do you start paying off the principal on your loan to that hutt crime lord? Do you join your crew and blow through the cash on wine, lovin' and song? Do you buy that shiney new hyperdrive for your baby? Maybe you use it for style, buying a second gold-plated blaster to match your first one, or on some decent threads to impress the high-'n-mighty? Maybe you hand it over to a particularly impovershed orphanage or some other needy group? How important is money to your smuggler and what does freedom ultimately mean for them?]]>

Taming ChaosKabbalah Publishing 2010; US$ 12.95
In this significant work, eminent Kabbalist Rav Berg explains how it's possible to simply and easily tame the chaos in life with the tools found in the wisdom of Kabbalah. According to Rav Berg, chaos is not random but the result of an incomplete understanding of one's own personal power and the spiritual systems that can energize life. Only by becoming... more...
La Energ�a de las Letras HebreasKabbalah Publishing 2011; US$ 14.95
The Zohar tells us that one of God?s first creations were twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet, but these letters were far more than the simple symbols of communication that would later be used in a galley of type. In the metaphysical universe, each letter transfers awesome power from the Upper World to our physical dimension. Yet only one would... more...
The Kabbalah MethodKabbalah Publishing 2010; US$ 14.95
The Kabbalah Method While there can be no question that we, as a species, have established deep and penetrating channels into the �how? of things, we have made scant headway in finding the source of the mighty river �why?? Who are we? Where did we come from? Why are we here? Why did the universe come into being? Did life on earth emerge as a... more...
The Holy GrailKabbalah Publishing 2012; US$ 9.95

Education of a KabbalistKabbalah Publishing 2012; US$ 14.95
In this memoir, Rav Berg illuminates the profound bond between teacher and student, painting a beautiful portrait of one of the greatest kabbalists of our time�Rav Yehuda Brandwein.

Kabbalah for the LaymanKabbalah Publishing 2012; US$ 16.95
Prior to the popularization of Kabbalah, Kabbalist Rav Berg synthesized the wisdom?s key concepts into a progressive system, rather than the non-linear manner of exploration previously available. This book is the result. The kabbalistic lineage is inextricably tied to the study of the knowledge itself. To this end, Rav Berg includes historical milestones,... more...
Consciousness and the CosmosKabbalah Publishing 2013; US$ 14.95
With his signature penetration of non-traditional thought, Kabbalist Rav Beg investigates quantum physics, astrology and the Bible, and uncovers a link between them. Within the pages of Consciousness and the Cosmos, Berg delves into subjects ranging from extraterrestrials, to parallel universes, and the tree of life. Throughout it all he posits that... more...
Navigating the UniverseKabbalah Publishing 2011; US$ 16.95
Rav Berg constructs a blueprint for those of us who are searching for total understanding of the world around us. According to kabbalistic principles, events on the earthly plane manifest as a result of cosmic influence. There are forces that shape human condition and exert their control over our physical universe. In this book, Rav Berg tells how... more...
The Energy of Hebrew LettersKabbalah Publishing 2011; US$ 16.95
According to the Zohar, among God?s first creations were the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet. Kabbalah teaches that the alphabet, called �ivrit? in Hebrew, comes from the root word lavir, or to transfer. Far more than simple symbols of communication, the letters transfer energy from the Light of God into the physical world. The story of the... more...
The Essential ZoharCrown Publishing Group 2011; US$ 14.95
For thousands of years, no book has been more shrouded in mystery than the Zohar, yet no book offers us greater wisdom.

Berg decodes its teachings on... more...

Robin Hood Obama's State of the Union: Opinion
The following commentary comes from an independent investor or market observer as part of TheStreet's guest contributor program, which is separate from the company's news coverage.
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Is President Obama running for the high school president? He had something for everyone. He skillfully argued for both sides of every issue. He took credit for strengthening the border, but also wanted to make it simpler for non-American college graduates to continue working in the U.S.
The state of the union address seemed more like a platform for announcing Obama's re-election strategy. What was unveiled was a populist platform, also known as the Robin Hood strategy.

Well, another school year almost over. Nothing to do now but watch DVDs on th eprojectors as we wait for the little darlings to be released into the community for the summer. For many of us it just means we get to turn up for work scruffy and plod on doing annual maintenance and large tasks we've been putting off for a while. For othewrs they get the entire summer off and don't have to worry about a thing until the end of August.
All I want to say to you all is thank you. Thank you to the moderators who do lots of silent moderaty type things in the background (like filling up my PMs and e-mail inbox!).
Thanks to all of you guys who contribute your expertise and opinions and make the site what it is.
And a big thank you to our regular members who have created little apps and code fro us all to take advantage of.
I hope you all have a great summer and I shall observe with dismay as our daily hits go from an average of 11,000 now to about 2,000 when everyone is away. If you are off for the summer please don't be a stranger as us saddos need some company y'know.

Yup! Don't we sometimes wish we could just take on the travails of our kid? But you're right. At times we need to learn how to trust some people and how to let go of our kids and learn for themselves some of the ups and downs of a crazy world. And you know what? For the most part, they come out OK.

Machów mine, Tarnobrzeg, Podkarpackie, PolandThis page is currently not sponsored. Click here to sponsor this page.
Abstract from Gradowski et al., 1992:
Sulphur deposits being surface mined in the Tarnobrzeg area of Poland formed post-depositionally in the vuggy limestone layer above gypsum and anhydrite beds. Sulphur was deposited mostly as powder but also as coarsely crystalline masses and as free-growing crystals. Other materials present in the sulphur-bearing horizon include calcite, gypsum, quartz, aluminum oxide, celestine, and barite. Mineral specimens of these minerals collected at the mine are described.
In 1984 it produced 2.342 million tons of ore.

The Forgotten People - Today's Christian Videos

From the new cd/dvd release, "For Zion's Sake, I WIl Not Be Silent", the song and video "The Forgotten People," was written in remembrance of the Holocaust. This song sounds an alarm to the nations that all mankind must fight against the rising tide of anti-semitism which presently is at it's highest point since WWII. The video draws a clear parallel between Nazism of the past and radical Islam of the present.
