I chose Fairmont State because I like the size of the campus and I was very interested in the Honors Program. I also chose this school because it gives me the chance to cheer and dance again if I decide to.
The thing that has surprised me the most is how small most of my classes are. I really thought that there were going to be a lot of students in all of my classes.
I really like the Honors Program so far. I have met a lot of new people within my courses and I also really like living in the Honors dorm. I really hope my suitemates and I will become great friends.
I would say choose the school that you like and that best fits you. Don't let your family, friends, or anyone influence your decision. Just because they like a school doesn't mean it will be the best match for you in the long run.
In high school, my classes were really easy and I never had to study. Most of my teachers just gave us a worksheet that the class would complete in about 15 minutes then the rest of the class was a free period. In my Honors courses there is a lot of studying to do and you really have to pay attention in class which is kind of new to me.

Fighting breast cancer has never tasted so good! For the 10th year in a row, Panera Bread is offering bagels in the shape of pink ribbons. Not only are the bagels delicious, but the popular bakery chain donates 10 percent of the proceeds from the sales of the special Pink Ribbon bagels to Breast Cancer Awareness. Now, eating bagels flavored with cherry chips, dried cherries, dried cranberries, vanilla, honey and brown sugar is a tough job. However, as a concerned citizen, I was prepared to do my part.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered the hero of the U.S. Solheim Cup team behind the register at my local Panera Bread restaurant in Boca Raton, Florida. I was absolutely tickled pink to meet her! Morgan Pressel's statistics on the LPGA Tour aren't the only thing that is amazing. Though she's only 23, Pressel has already raised over $2 million for charities here in South Florida. As many fans know, Morgan was only 15 when she lost her mother to breast cancer. My heart really goes out to her for that. Though I haven't lost any relatives to breast cancer, my father died of pancreatic cancer -- and he was the one who introduced me to the game of golf.
My golf hat is off to Morgan Pressel for helping to save women's lives by promoting early detection. I also respect her for helping Panera Bread kick off breast cancer month. Though making an appearance would have been enough, Morgan rolled up her sleeves and helped make the bagels. Then she worked the register for over an hour. I bought two of the bagels Morgan helped make, and should add that she graciously took the time to sign my Callaway hat.
As my late father would have put it, Morgan Pressel is a "true class act!" I am so proud to share the same hometown with this golfing prodigy! I am certain that Morgan will shatter many more records in her brilliant career on the LPGA, but it is my personal opinion that she is a winner before even stepping up to the tee box.

The Tide Is Coming in
A Guest Preview of the Next Call of Cthulhu LCG Asylum Pack |
Call of Cthulhu LCG | Published 21 April 2009 |
Frequent guest contributor Marius Hartland presents a first look at the upcoming The Terror of the Tides Asylum Pack for Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game. Warning: this article makes a few references to cards from previous Asylum Packs (card numbers are in parentheses), but it should be easy enough to follow if you already know how to play the game. To learn more about Call of Cthulhu, you can read the rules by following this link to our Support Page. Enjoy this sneak peek at the next Arcane contribution to the Call of Cthulhu card game.
"The sound of the incoming tide was now very insistent, and little by little it seemed to change the old man's mood from maudlin tearfulness to watchful fear. He would pause now and then to renew those nervous glances over his shoulder or out toward the reef, and despite the wild absurdity of his tale, I could not help beginning to share his apprehensiveness.
- H.P. Lovecraft,The Shadow over Innsmouth
Welcome to what is actually the second preview of The Terror of the Tides, since the first preview debuted in antediluvian times. In it, Jim Black presented his championship card, Descendant of Eibon which is part of this upcoming Asylum Pack.
The focus of The Terror of the Tides is the most "arcane" of all struggles: the Arcane struggle. New players tend to glance over the utility of this struggle, as the other struggles do more active things: Driving characters insane, wounding them, or putting on extra success tokens. Arcane just readies a character or sometimes prevents an opponent from readying a character. This is not as spectacular as sending someone off to the (mental) hospital but after a couple of games it will become apparent how useful this struggle really is. You can pressure your opponent with a little less risk of exposing the stories to your opponent's investigations. The arcane struggle is mostly about the preservation of your resources and about efficiency. And beating people up twice!
The Secret of Success
The first card I'm going to show to you is Pagan Hall. Often, when playing a Miskatonic University-based deck you'll have more success tokens than will fit on the story card. You run in with a couple of investigators, having high skill and multiple investigation struggles. Your opponent sees that blocking that story is a lost cause. Or you have an opening on a Story that will be likely won by an opponent before you can, and the Arcane struggle makes sure your investigators can defend. All these potentially extra success tokens will go to waste – until now. Pagan Hall will gladly pick up one of these tokens for later use. At a cost of 1 you can pay for it with a domain you weren't going to use anyway.
It puts potentially lost gains to good use. More importantly, it forces your opponent to play more defensively (and into making mistakes) as they soon will be aware that if they give you a finger, you will rip off their arm and beat them senseless with it. Later on a charged-up Pagan Hall will create an even more dangerous situation as a story with just a few tokens on your side can be easily won by emptying the Hall on one of the stories.
Another nice bonus is that Descendant of Eibon doesn't care if success tokens are on stories or not. Jim's card offers a shortcut by using the 'extra' success token to bring in some muscle. While Pagan Hall is a relative fragile place to keep your success tokens compared to them being on stories, the low cost means you are likely to invest less into the card than your opponent will invest in getting rid of it.

Casting a Shadow
The second card on show today is Shadow Sorceress. She looks so happy cooking up things from beyond the umbral veil. She is tied in more directly with the Arcane Struggle theme. While Repo Man (The Antediluvian Dreams F41) has a replacement effect for his struggle, the sorceress will give you both the normal struggle effects and her own response of returning a spell card. This way you can get a spell back during every players' turn. She might lack Terror or Combat icons but her ability makes up for it. I'd be smiling at having an endless stream of spells during every players' turn with effects like Across Dimensions to give your side lots of Combat icons, over and over again, withering away the opposition with A Single Glimpse or continually having access to the top 5 cards of your deck with Journey to the Other Side.
If that still isn't enough, Opener of the Gate (Ancient Horrors F17) turns your monsters into Spells ensuring an endless supply of the most cruel creatures the game has on offer. She isn't unique either, making it possible to get back a lot of cards, continually giving you options.

Tidal Waves
One of those monsters which surely will make a splash is The Terror of the Tides, boasting an impressive Toughness +5, combined with a Terror icon to make sure it doesn't go easily insane. Like the Descendant of Eibon, the meat of this character is in the ability to set up ambushes. Through its action it can come out at almost any time and without the need for a resource match, meaning every deck can use this card regardless of the chosen factions.
The four wounds even leave one toughness, making it very hard to remove it on a moments' notice. At cost 3, the ability isn't something to sneak through that easy, as leaving the domain open for the ambush, while having a card in hand gives a strong signal to the opposing player. This can lead to some bluffing on your part too, by leaving the domain open for a false signal.
If your opponent is leaving a domain open, you can call their bluff by ignoring the fact that a 4 skill, terror and double combat icon character may show up. When it does, the results may be dramatically painful. Or you can take it into account, but then you are likely forced to focus your attentions to one story instead of spreading out for a better success token gain, slowing you down. Or you can skip the story phase entirely, giving you the chance to enhance your board position while your opponent loses the opportunity to play this Antediluvian Beetle and the use of his big domain. All the situations have their pro's and con's and none of the options is clearly the best option in any given situation. The Terror of the Tides card can help you force mistakes by merely existing, while being a counterweight to Call of Cthulhu LCG's™ overall balance towards aggression.

The tide is changing. I hope you'll enjoy taking control of the ebb and flow of the game using the power of the arcane struggle, coming soon at an asylum near you!
Based on the fiction of H.P. Lovecraft and his literary circle, Call of Cthulhu: The Card Game takes two players deep into the Cthulhu Mythos where investigators clash with the Ancient Ones and Elder Gods for the fate of the world. To learn more about Call of Cthulhu, visit our minisite.
Neat. My players and I are really enjoying the new cards and format. All being avid players of several CCG, LCG is fresh and not a money grab, as say MT:G. FFG, you have done a great job with this! Thanks from my crew and I.
miskatonic seems to just be getting better and better. pagan hall is just awesome.
Agreed! Pagan Hall gives opponents a very good reason
to pack Support destruction. The Miskatonic University faction
has finally gained my respect and should now be feared by all.
My local 'Adventure Leagues' will be starting up again in 2 weeks
and I think I might just set my Monsters aside this time to give
the human factions go!
Wow. Talk about some amazing cards. Pagan Hall is just plain ugly, and one more reason for me to dread playing against a Miskatonic deck (and, no, I have no plans to splash them into my deck at this time). This has been an impressive set of decks for the newcomer, and I can't wait to play them.

i got set up just right only my 2nd hitch drilling after cementing surface i came on tour and he was tagging up on bottom and i drilled 2,239 and gave him the one i had in the mouse hole out in west texas in stanton on pioneer 5
3,363' in 12 hours and 5,400 even in 24 just outside of Williston,ND
Cut 2112' of 7 7/8" hole back in the 70's in Pearsall Tx. Natl T-32 draw works, C-350 duplex pump.
Took 2 slick line surveys and started TOH with a 4 man crew, 8 hour shift. Tooley bought us a case of beer.
Back in 97 I was drilling for Advanced Energy we took rig 8 to WV. to do CBM work. The wells we we're doing were on the average of 1300 ft. TVD with 8 to 10 legs per well. We drilled a main leg and then sidetracked 4 or 5 legs off both sides of the 8000 ft. TD or so main leg. We got the sidetracks down to about an hour which was pretty fast, but this is coal and easy to do. I drilled 4842' in 12 hours and we continually drilled 400' to 500' an hour. I alone could not have done this without the help of a great crew and great directional personal. The rig was a little Apache D150 top drive with a boom and fast as hell. At that time it was a world record but I believe it has sense been beat. I know this isnt in Texas but i thought you guys might want to read this. But hey drilling 2000' in 12 hours in my book is pretty dam good. Keep up the hard work and be safe.
best footage i have ever personally seen was when we got to logging depth at the begining of my tour(9am @7,500') and by the end of my tour we made 2,100'ft,i caught 70 30ft samples, ran 7 gas shows and thats typing up the show reports and keeping my logs caught up. And we were using lopplot 05..and we were in east tx,just outside palestine tx..

YWCA of WNY is pleased to announce the 3rd annual event featuring our 144 year-old archives, celebrating our Founding Mothers and honoring today's outstanding local women leaders. The program will benefit education and job readiness programming for at-risk youth and Girls Inc.
Please join us for a wine reception at Forest Lawn Cemetery Chapel located at 1411 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo on Thursday, May 22nd, 2014 from 5:30 – 8:30 pm. The exhibition will also be on display for several weeks following the reception in the Larkin at Exchange main lobby and the Theodore Roosevelt Inaugural Site (Wilcox Mansion).
At this time we are seeking sponsorships, donations, and registrations. All proceeds directly support youth programming and do not support the exhibition itself.
Make your annual donation to protect YWCA's services
The YWCA of Western New York needs your help! We appreciate you taking a few minutes of your time to make your annual donation to preserve the services offered by the YWCA to women, girls, and families of Western New York.
Why we especially need your help this year
With New York State and federal governments still in financial crises, much of the traditional support that funded critical community programs run by YWCA was dramatically reduced or eliminated. Cuts from the federal sequester are only just beginning to take effect. The economy has not yet made the turn toward recovery.
Despite the financial hardships that this economy brings we are very optimistic about the prospects for the future. Our YWCA has served Western New York since 1870, and we intend to be here and going strong in 2070.

This is a non-event, so no banquet chicken is involved, which we hope you'll appreciate!

It's the styles. I can make do with the clothes that I have had for the last 20 years.
I have skipped the skinny-low rise-ultra tight jeans and now, I get to skip this. Let's hear a cheer for old and tired, but with a closet full of clothes that fit. This latest is just too, too, much for me to take. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Rush out and buy!
Follow-Up Postings:
I'm with you, Agnes. While most of the clothes in my closet should be updated, I haven't liked the *fashions* for several years, so have bought very little. Of course, that's b/c of a generation gap--or three--in my sense of style and whatever the current fashion is. However, this "drop crotch" jean look makes "droopy drawers" almost a reality. Not attractive at all, IMO. |
- Posted by lilosophie none (My Page) on Mon, Jan 30, 12 at 14:02
I'm not only old, I am rural, so have not paid attention to fashion for so many years. These jeans are about as ugly as one can get, and then with the spike heels! My GGD will likely have some, her wardrobe now consists of the ripped look in jeans. I sort of live in fleece in winter, jeans or pull-on drawers and Tshirts in summer, nice new ones for going out, old raggy ones for gardening, it fits right in with all the old hippies who populate my area. |
- Posted by anneliese_32 6 (My Page) on Mon, Jan 30, 12 at 17:37
One advantage this style would have for me, I would not have to shop around, any regular pair of jeans would do, LOL. Have not paid much attention to styles either. I have buttondown shirts and polos which are 30 years old and I am not hard on my clothes, size has not changed and turtlenecks have not gone out of fashion either. |
I have actually liked some of the fashions coming out in the last few years, but this one doesn't even look comfortable combined with the tight legs. It's like a hobble skirt and I'll betcha you couldn't even climb a ladder with a pair of them on. Yes, having had children in the age of the cloth diaper, it looks like they're all walking around with a load in their britches. I've never seen an era where one intentionally tried to make their legs look short and stubby. Kinda makes you wonder what designers are smoking. |
There really are not any new fashions, just recycled styles every few decades. Really I don't think there has been an actual new piece of clothing designed in my lifetime. When I see glimpse of the "runway designer collections" All I can think is it is ridiculous and just like I said recycled. I think that out of pure desperation to do something different is where these pants came from or just a joke. Nothing beats a good fit no matter what the clothing or style these pants wouldn't fit or flatter anyone :( -:) |
That's just awful, hadn't seen it yet.How many people will accept such a thing? |
Saggy pants. Sags in the worst place. Yea, I wish I could wear those. Actually, I'd be likely to fill them out. :( |
I never was "into" the latest fashion: something that changes every year seems wasteful not stylish. Okay, back -way back- when skirts were a must for the working lady, I followed the style until it got well above the knee. Not because I didn't have 'good' legs back then, but because a scrap of cloth that showed my undies if I sat or knelt down offended my sense of self-respect ~ that's also about the time I learned the difference between classic style and the latest fad. Not too long after that pantsuits became acceptable in most offices, and I took immediate advantage of the leniency. It's been a good many years since a skirt or dress hung in my closet and many more years since I wore either. OTOH, a properly fitted pantsuit in a good fabric and color is a world away from the 'loaded diaper' jeans look that pre-and early-adolescents occasionally adopt. I say occasionally since that fad has already passed through this area and the only ones who wear them are the misfits. I wonder if there is a correlation: societal misfits choosing to wear misfit attire? But I love retirement -- I gave away all the silk pantsuits (yeah, with a bit of a pang) and shirts and dressy sweaters; I wear [properly fitted] jeans year 'round with sweatshirts in winter and tees in the summer. In fact, recently I had to go buy a nice sober suit to wear at a funeral; it's stored in the closet now and hopefully won't be needed soon. Along with it are the dressy shoes and nylons; they won't be needed either. |
This is not so much about fashion, but realizing I am getting older! I was at a garden center. It was a Tuesday and the teenager ringing up my order asked me if I wanted the 'Senior' discount that they offered on Tuesdays. Their senior discount started at age 60. I am 45! I know I don't look like I am 20 anymore, but I didn't think I looked 60! The look on my face must have been priceless since she quickly said with a red face "I have to ask that." I said, "Honey, that just makes it worse! Give me the damn discount." |
When I was 20, I looked 30. When I was 30, I looked 40+. When I was 50, time must have slowed down. One of the reasons I let the silver hair stay silver is that (at close to 70) apparently I don't look old enough for senior discounts. A nearby garden center gives 25% off on Fridays to seniors over 55 and I had to show my driver's licence get the discount! |
"One GREAT thing about getting old!" Still here and with baggy pants, lost over 40 pounds in the last year. Will be digging out the 36" jeans soon. |
Congratulations, Don. Good for you! You were smart to keep those 36" jeans, weren't you? |
Just got too big for my britches and the smaller ones were still good so now I save a bit. Still going for the 34s and 170lb. Best I every felt. |
- Posted by west_gardener (My Page) on Sun, Feb 5, 12 at 19:41
Don, congrats on the weight loss. Glad you feel great.(How did you do that)?. DH lost 35LB. He has kept his old size clothes for every day, but we did go out and buy him some new svelte clothes. |

I want to talk about age, not weight. One of the clerks at the market had sold alcohol to an investigator posing as under-age customer - a very bad thing for the store. So now she was required by management to ask every customer their birth-date and year if they purchased alcoholic beverages. Now I am so obviously over the top, I don't even get carded for the Senior discount any more, and here she insisted on my birth-date and year and ID before letting me have some wine. I couldn't help it, I said "Good heavens, not only juveniles, but geezers can't buy booze any more? What is this world coming to?" Cracked everybody up. |
- Posted by agnespuffin (My Page) on Sun, Feb 5, 12 at 23:21
Just for information.....it seems that the cash registers at my favorite store are set up so that wine and beer can't be rung up unless a birthday is keyed in too. I suspect that happens in a lot of stores. Anyway, our clerks just key in any old date and don't bother to ask us oldies any more. |
- Posted by coconut-nj 6 (My Page) on Sun, Feb 5, 12 at 23:28
Omg Lilo, you had us both laughing hard! That's too funny. Those who know me and have met me sure know I'm not into fashion. Anybody that can wear a cat night shirt in public obviously is either clueless, ignorant or both. Smiles. Now days I got lucky and they sell those long tshirts in plain colors so I wear them with shorts when it's warm and with pants when it's not. I have quite a few tshirt dresses I wear out and about too and some cheap sundresses for the yard. Once in a while I buy a new pair of black pants or something for a special occasion. Those low crotch pants...........Just can't imagine. |
I've rung up many folks who had beer/wine. Cashiers know, past a certain stage, just enter 01/01/19XX and keep going, rather than pester geezers. Of which you are NOT Lilo!!! Good for you to laugh at your situation though. |
- Posted by lilosophie none (My Page) on Mon, Feb 6, 12 at 9:47
What we tend to forget is that to young under twenty "kids" . once you turn thirty you are "old", so they are not really able to tell just how old |

Rising abruptly above the surrounding dry plains, Blackdown Tableland protects spectacular sandstone scenery at the north-eastern edge of the Central Queensland sandstone belt. This is the traditional home of the Ghungalu people, who have visited this place for thousands of years and left behind rock art, vivid reminders of their special culture.
... moreThe park supports diverse plant communities including heathlands, dry eucalypt forests and moist pockets of ferns, mosses and orchids. Being elevated, the tableland is often cooler and moister than nearby plains. Its isolation means plants and animals that are found nowhere else thrive here.
Interpretive signs along this self-guiding walk offer insight into the park's history. It begins at Munall campground with an easy walk past old cattle yard ruins and then follows Mimosa Creek upstream to a Ghungalu art site. Plants used by Ghungalu people for food and shelter can be seen along the way.
... lessAlways carry sufficient drinking water, as this park does not provide water.
In winter the temperature can drop below zero overnight. Daytime temperatures in summer average between a pleasant 24-30 degrees. Be prepared for cool nights even in summer.
Wheelchair-accessible toilets are available at Munall campground.
How To Get There
Blackdown Tableland is about 2.5 hours drive west of Rockhampton via the Capricorn Highway. The park turnoff is 11 kilometres west of Dingo, 110 kilometres east of Emerald or 35 kilometres east of Blackwater. The six kilometre sealed road up the tableland is steep and winding, and is not suitable for towing heavy trailers or caravans. The Munall camping area is a further eight kilometres on unsealed roads.

Lost University
Posted by Miserable Retail Slave on May 20, 2010 at 5:44 PM |
by Paulie Walnuts
As I stated in my Essay on Lost, part of what makes the program so great is its use of the internet as a promotional tool. The writers and developers implemented many little online games that viewers could take part in. These games are most commonly referred to as The Lost Experience.
Perhaps the most entertaining and fun idea for The Lost Experience is "Lost University." Here, viewers can "enroll" in the fictional online university, and take part in various "classes." Examples of these classes are: History 101, Ancient Writing on the Wall; Language 101, Foreign Language for Beginners; Philosophy 101, I'm Lost Therefore I Am; Physics 101, Introductory Physics of Time Travel; Science 201, Jungle Survival Basics; and Physics 301 Seminar, New Physics with Jeremy Davies.
"Students" take part in these classes through the use of their Blu-Ray player and Lost: Season 5. This sucks for me because I don't have a Blu-Ray player. But, if you do, check it out and take part.
If not, you can still check out the site, enroll, and take a placement test.
Personally, I think it would be pretty fun to "graduate" from Lost University (Est. 2004), but I can't really justify buying a Blu-Ray player and another copy of Lost: Season 5.

I've tried writing an address using an app on my new iPad called Haiku Deck. It's a way of making simple PowerPoint presentations. You don't get to do anything fancy with transitions, animations or anything like that. You just get to enter two lines of text and choose from some stunning Flickr images that have a Creative Commons copyright licence.
I've based this on the story of the shepherds in Luke 2:8-20. Obviously this isn't a full script, but I hope there's enough here for it to make sense. Let me know in the comments if it needs illuminating in any way.

King James Version (KJV) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 Now after the death of Moses the servant of the LORD it came to pass, that the LORD spake unto Joshua the son of Nun, Moses' minister , saying , | 1 After the death of Moses the servant of the LORD, the LORD said to Joshua son of Nun, Moses' aide: |
2 Moses my servant is dead ; now therefore arise , go over this Jordan, thou, and all this people, unto the land which I do give to them, even to the children of Israel. | 2 "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them--to the Israelites. |
3 Every place that the sole of your foot shall tread upon , that have I given unto you, as I said unto Moses. | 3 I will give you every place where you set your foot, as I promised Moses. |
4 From the wilderness and this Lebanon even unto the great river, the river Euphrates, all the land of the Hittites, and unto the great sea toward the going down of the sun, shall be your coast. | 4 Your territory will extend from the desert to Lebanon, and from the great river, the Euphrates--all the Hittite country--to the Great Sea on the west. |
5 There shall not any man be able to stand before thee all the days of thy life: as I was with Moses, so I will be with thee: I will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. | 5 No one will be able to stand up against you all the days of your life. As I was with Moses, so I will be with you; I will never leave you nor forsake you. |
6 Be strong and of a good courage : for unto this people shalt thou divide for an inheritance the land, which I sware unto their fathers to give them. | 6 "Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their forefathers to give them. |
7 Only be thou strong and very courageous , that thou mayest observe to do according to all the law, which Moses my servant commanded thee: turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that thou mayest prosper whithersoever thou goest . | 7 Be strong and very courageous. Be careful to obey all the law my servant Moses gave you; do not turn from it to the right or to the left, that you may be successful wherever you go. |
8 This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous , and then thou shalt have good success . | 8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful. |
9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage ; be not afraid , neither be thou dismayed : for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest . | 9 Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go." |
10 Then Joshua commanded the officers of the people, saying , | 10 So Joshua ordered the officers of the people: |
11 Pass through the host, and command the people, saying , Prepare you victuals; for within three days ye shall pass over this Jordan, to go in to possess the land, which the LORD your God giveth you to possess it. | 11 "Go through the camp and tell the people, 'Get your supplies ready. Three days from now you will cross the Jordan here to go in and take possession of the land the LORD your God is giving you for your own.' " |
12 And to the Reubenites, and to the Gadites, and to half the tribe of Manasseh, spake Joshua, saying , | 12 But to the Reubenites, the Gadites and the half-tribe of Manasseh, Joshua said, |
13 Remember the word which Moses the servant of the LORD commanded you, saying , The LORD your God hath given you rest , and hath given you this land. | 13 "Remember the command that Moses the servant of the LORD gave you: 'The LORD your God is giving you rest and has granted you this land.' |
14 Your wives, your little ones, and your cattle, shall remain in the land which Moses gave you on this side Jordan; but ye shall pass before your brethren armed, all the mighty men of valour, and help them; | 14 Your wives, your children and your livestock may stay in the land that Moses gave you east of the Jordan, but all your fighting men, fully armed, must cross over ahead of your brothers. You are to help your brothers |
15 Until the LORD have given your brethren rest , as he hath given you, and they also have possessed the land which the LORD your God giveth them: then ye shall return unto the land of your possession, and enjoy it, which Moses the LORD'S servant gave you on this side Jordan toward the sunrising . | 15 until the LORD gives them rest, as he has done for you, and until they too have taken possession of the land that the LORD your God is giving them. After that, you may go back and occupy your own land, which Moses the servant of the LORD gave you east of the Jordan toward the sunrise." |
16 And they answered Joshua, saying , All that thou commandest us we will do , and whithersoever thou sendest us, we will go . | 16 Then they answered Joshua, "Whatever you have commanded us we will do, and wherever you send us we will go. |
17 According as we hearkened unto Moses in all things, so will we hearken unto thee: only the LORD thy God be with thee, as he was with Moses. | 17 Just as we fully obeyed Moses, so we will obey you. Only may the LORD your God be with you as he was with Moses. |
18 Whosoever he be that doth rebel against thy commandment, and will not hearken unto thy words in all that thou commandest him, he shall be put to death : only be strong and of a good courage . | 18 Whoever rebels against your word and does not obey your words, whatever you may command them, will be put to death. Only be strong and courageous!" |

Fusion Fall
If there's already a Fusion Fall thread, I'm sorry. But I didn't find one, so...
Anyway. Does anyone out there play Fusion Fall? What do you think of it? I'm Zora Melodycaster, level 36 for a couple months now. I can't believe there's all of these little events instead of the expasion, but what are ya gonna do? I really like it because it has all of the shows I watched when I was younger, and watch now if I can. Couldn't believe how late the move to Free-to-Play was, but I love my Clockwork set. Can't wait for ther expansion and I hope it comes soon.

FusionFall sets a new standard in the browser based gaming genre. With huge 3D environments to explore and plenty of voice acting from the cast of your favorite cartoons (like Dexters Lab) FusionFall has much higher production value than your typical MMORPG. Even the combat system, interface, and missions are well crafted and easily compete with client based games. But these amazing features come with a steep disadvantage free players can only access the first few areas of the game which takes place in the future. To put this restriction in perspective: there are a total of 36 Nanos but free players can only acquire the first 4. Full access comes at the price of $6 a month or with the purchase of a $10/month family plan that covers 4 accounts. The first four nanos and their abilities are:
Buttercup - The green Powerpuff girl that has the ability to stun your opponents, cast a group heal, or reward you with more fusion matter after defeating an enemy. She is the first nano you acquire during the tutorial. Numbah 2 - A short fat kid from Codename: Kids Next Door. His abilities include a passive movement increase, teleporting the player back to safe spots or rewarding extra taros for defeating enemies. Eddy - The most outspoken of the Ed brothers from the series Ed, Edd, and Eddy. His three abilities are: a self-heal, a group speed boost, and a shield that protects your boosts & potions from being destroyed by enemy attacks. |

Can you explain to me what the difference between automatic and hydrostatic are? As I look at the Sears webpage some tractors are hydrostatic and some are just automatic. |
Follow-Up Postings:
In the Sears and Husqvarna tractors, any tractor listed as an automatic use hydrostats, some pedal operated, some lever operated. In MTD-built tractors, particularly those in the MTD-built Yardman, Troybilt or Toro brand names, MTD regularly uses a variable pully system formerly known as vari-drive. The speed at the tractor rear wheels is controlled with a foot pedal that varies the size of one of the two pulleys in the belt drive setup. Varidrive setups are widely seen as technically less sophisticated than a hydrostat filled with engine oil, but MTD has used this system for ages. Their 6- and 7-speed shift-on-the-fly transmissions used in low priced Yard Machine and Bolens models is essentially a lever-operated vari-drive with notches for each "gear". |
Then why are some of the sears listed as automatic and hydro and the auto listed units do not mention anything about hydro on the spec page? Is it just a marketing point so all their tractors don't appear to be the same? |
"An automatic transmission (commonly abbreviated as "AT") is an automobile gearbox that can change gear ratios automatically as the vehicle moves, thus freeing the driver from having to shift gears manually (similar but larger devices are also used for railroad locomotives)." Wikipedia "A hydraulic or hydrostatic drive system or hydraulic power transmission is a drive- or transmission system that makes use of a hydraulic fluid under pressure to drive machinery." Wikipedia |
So if one tractor had hydro operated witha a lever on the fender and another had auto on the fender would an operator of the tractor notice much difference? For both of them; you just push lever forward to go right? |
You can have an auto that is gear driven or one that is fluid driven (hydro). If you are using the tractor for it's intended purpose, both should do fine. |
To my knowledge all Craftsman are fluid driven. A belt runs from the engine to the pump on the transmission, the lever or pedal operates a valve to let fluid go in either direction. The more you open it the faster it goes. I think you are right in saying whatever they want to call it is for marketing. Some people will understand when a salesman calls it an automatic, but would be confused if he called it a hydro |
"lever or pedal operates a valve to let fluid go in either direction. The more you open it the faster it goes. " Actually I think you will find that the lever or pedal operates mechanism that changes the angle of a swash plate which then causes a series of pistons around it to take longer or shorter strokes. Walt Conner |
cwenisch, the relevant thing is what kind of tasks do you plan for your tractor. Sears uses the terms hydro and auto interchangeably but they are talking about the same thing. Basically you push on the pedal and the harder you push, the faster it goes. Auto's, hydrostats are better for just mowing or for your snow blowing as long as you don't have steep grades and as long as you don't plan to do a lot of plowing or using ground engaging attachments like harrows for your garden. Manual is better for the heavy stuff but of course you have to select your gear. I don't have any problem with the manual but most people like the "auto" because it's easier to control the exact speed. One other thing I should mention is that with an auto they will often tell you that it never has to be serviced. This is not true. First and formost you have to keep the tranny clean so that it cools effectively and doesn't cook the oil. Second it's a good idea to change the oil once in a while. |

FHSU splits at Emporia
Fort Hays State erased a 10-point deficit in the last 3:30 of regulation and went on to win 79-76 in overtime to move to 9-3 overall and 3-1 in the MIAA. Ben Congiusta buried a 3-point field goal with just over two seconds remaining to force the extra period. It was the second straight year the Tigers won in overtime in Emporia.
The run began with a pair of Craig Nicholson to cut the lead to eight with 2:39 remaining, then Congiusta hit a 3-pointer with 1:17 remaining to cut the lead to ESU lead to five. The lead shrunk to three on a Nicholson layup with 1:08 remaining and then he had a floater near the lane with 22 seconds left to cut it to one. After an ESU layup on an inbounds with nine seconds left, FHSU did not have any timeouts remaining. Nicholson found a trailing Congiusta on the play who buried a 3-point field goal to force overtime. ESU was 0-of-4 from the field and had two turnovers in the FHSU run until getting the layup with nine seconds left.
Lance Russell put the Tigers out front with the first basket of the overtime period and Congiusta buried his fourth 3-point field goal of the game to push the lead to five. FHSU held ESU off the rest of the way as a pair of Nicholson free-throws with 25 seconds put the lead back at three. ESU missed two late 3-point attempts and fouled Marty Wendel with three seconds left. Wendel could not put the game away on the first free-throw, but ESU could not get a shot off at the end as FHSU escaped with the thrilling win.
The win gave Mark Johnson the 235th win of his career at FHSU, tying Bill Morse for second all-time in wins at FHSU. He'll look to pass Morse when the Tigers host nationally ranked Washburn on Thursday at Gross Memorial Coliseum in Hays.
Dwayne Brunson led FHSU with a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds. Russell and Congiusta each finished with 16 points and Nicholson added 15. The Tigers finished the game at 47.4 percent from the field and 38.9 percent beyond the 3-point line.
The 10th-ranked Fort Hays State women's basketball team dropped its second consecutive game on Saturday, falling 69-54 at Emporia State. Kate Lehman had 25 points, 16 rebounds, and seven blocked shots, but it was not enough to lead the Lady Tigers to victory as they fell to 10-2 overall and 2-2 in the MIAA. Emporia State moved to 6-5 overall and 1-2 in the MIAA.
Fort Hays State held a 33-26 halftime lead, but went ice-cold from the field in the second half. The Lady Tigers shot just 16.1 percent from the field in the second half and a nine-point lead evaporated as ESU went on an 18-3 run to take a six-point lead. FHSU trimmed the lead back to three, but ESU would not relinquish the lead the rest of the way. Up five, a 9-0 run by the Hornets from the 6:04 to 3:18 marks of the second half put the game away pushing the deficit into double digits.
Lehman started the game 8-of-8 from the field, but finished 9-of-16. She had 19 points in the first half and just six in the second. The 25 points and 16 rebounds were season highs for Lehman. It was the fifth double-double of the season for Lehman. She scored the first 17 points of the game for FHSU. Katelyn Edwards also finished in double figures with 13 points.
Laura Patrick led ESU in scoring with 18 points. Rachel Hanf added 11 and Jocelyn Cummings and Desiree Wylie each had 10.

The Oklahoma-born, Dallas, Texas raised musician was part of the Polyphonic Spree and has had numerous musical ventures with Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver. Her third album is called Strange Mercy and comes out September 13th on 4AD. Her first two albums received critical acclaim and her new album is on Billboard's recently released "Most Anticipated Albums of the Fall." Given her new song "Surgeon", I can say we will not be disappointed. Imagine a church chorus fading into some choppy, loopy string section, climaxing with electronic layering, until a funky synth lead brings the escalating sounds tumbling to destruction. Enjoy:)

Fast Facts:
- In a stark contrast to the other game going on tonight, both goalies have been stellar in this series even though Rinne has the much better numbers to back that up. Howard has been very good, just hasn't had much help at the other end of the rink.
Howard this series: 1-3; 2.78 GAA; .879 SV%
Rinne this series: 3-1; 2.01 GAA; .942 SV%
- No new injuries for either side. Hal Gill is a game time decision but probably won't play.
Projected Lineups:
Sergei Kostitsyn – Mike Fisher – Martin Erat
Andrei Kostitsyn – David Legwand – Alexander Radulov
Gabriel Bourque – Nick Spaling – Patric Hornqvist
Craig Smith – Paul Gaustad – Brandon Yip

I last minute, decided my 10 yr old & I needed a Mommy/Daughter weekend. We were greeted upon arrival by 'The Innkeeper', Tracey, the sweetest, most welcoming greeting I have ever received staying ANYWHERE! Each room was more spectacular from the next! I am a VERY picky traveler, a stickler on cleanliness; everthing was just immaculate. I didn't even use my lysol I bring when I travel, & every room, as we toured some the last day, smelled so sweet. Each employee treated us as if we knew them forever & could not do enough for us! From the quaint light breakfast served in a beautiful basket to enjoy anywhere, to the snacks served twice a day, & beverages all day. Each room has a theme and are spacious & invitingly comfortable, we enjoyed just relaxing in our room, not a normal tendency for a 10 yr old! Most stores at Smithville offered a discount for staying at the Inn while some offered a complimentary gift! It was so unexpected, but a lovely gesture! Tracey and the employees really helped to make this one of the best times of our lives! The shops are owned & operated by the sweetest people, they also made you feel special just because you stopped by their store. One of the best part of this gem is the cost! It is sooo reasonable, I felt guilty paying so little, we were happy to put the extra toward the staff for making the stay that much more enjoyable! If you are looking for a romantic get-away, or a family vacation, I cannot reccomend a finer place. The restauants were fabulous, and the location is 15-25 minutes from many places. Please, treat yourself and call today, ask for a description of their great rooms! Thank you Tracey, and all of your fabulous employees, for helping to make our mini-get-away a time we will never forget! My daughter was so sad to leave, which is testimony in and of itself, as she gets homesick very easily. We both had to pry ourelves away! See you in October! Many, many thanks-Pamela

My husband and I spent our New Years Eve at Fred & Ethlels. We booked our room reservation well in advance and decided on The Carousel Room. The room was very clean, beautiful view of the lake and the Christmas lights. Did not hear any noise considering we were right by the entry door but I could see how that would be a problem for someone else. The only dirty thing I saw was the big window that was up very high as I laid on the bed. I would not hesitate to go here again, especially for a romantic night. Coffee, muffins and juice in the morning when we woke up....I love this place, and best of all was listening to Jesse Boyington on New Years Eve at Fred & Ethels..the sirlion dinner and crab bread was wonderful...hope to see you soon...5 stars outstanding Mulholland's 2013

I chose this B&B because I needed an overnight for a business conference in AC and did not want to stay at the casino. I arrived late but Tracy, the manager was still waiting for me when I arrived. I appreciated her accomodating attitude and friendly disposition. The room was very nice and the bed was comfortable, and I slept well. In the morning, I was not able to have breakfast, but I did get a great cup of coffee and had a nice conversation with the attendant. This B&B is located right in the middle of all the Smithville shops and is convenient for all of the activities in town, and AC. However, if you like secluded and quiet, it may not be what you are looking for. I loved the room, but found it a bit un-nerving that the door to my room had a large window and was on the parking lot side of the building. The curtains were helpful to give me privacy, however, they were made from a knitted product that was a bit see through. Overall, a very nice place.

Stayed in room 204, very clean, beautiful. Staff are very friendly. Nice variety of restaurants and taverns. Had a great time at Fred and Ethel's Lantern Light Tavern with Lefty Mann as entertainment. Over all a great experience can't wait to go back.

My husband and I have been going there for 8 years. We love it there. The staff is very nice and courteous. We keep going back because we always have a relaxing time. We never worry about the rooms they are always clean and stocked with everything you would need. You can just park your car and walk the village. Its best to go when its Mayfest or Octoberfest very crowded. But all and all a lets forgot our worries getaway.

This was our first time there, my husband and I went for our 33rd anniversary. It was so nice with the light show on the lake, everything was decorated for Christmas and so pretty. We stayed in the barn, the room was decorated so cute, country and very spacious. It was very quiet in our room especially for a busy Saturday night. I wished we could have stayed an extra night. We are already planning another trip in a couple of months. The employees are so nice and helpful. The picnic basket was charming. If you are looking for a place to visit and possibly spend the night you won't be dissapointed at all.

Having muffins and coffee available in the morning does not make you a bed & breakfast, and I am really surprised to see it rated so highly here. For the price, you can do much better, and the inn is surrounded by a tourist trap full of overpriced junk and bad food. Everything looks and feels completely fake - like you're staying in third-rate theme park. The heating/A&C unit was incredibly loud and the rooms were so bright at night that we got terrible sleep both nights we were there. Customer service was ok, but the bar had already been set so low that it wasn't that hard. Hands down the most disappointing "B&B" I have ever been to.
Innkeeper Response
I was surprise and sorry to hear that you had such an unpleasant stay. Almost daily people share with me why Smithville is special to them, I wish that you could have found the same type of enjoyment here. Smithville has over 7 eateries including the well acclaimed Smithville Inn along with over 60 specialty shops set in a Historic Theme, a fun train and Carousel and an ice-cream shop, I am surprised to hear that none of this appealed to you. There are many different types of Bed and Breakfast and it sounds like the Colonial Inn was not a good fit for you. I am sorry that this quaint village and the Colonial Inn and the 60 shoppes and the restaurants where such a disappointment, we like to think we have something for everyone. There must be a b&b that will meet your expectations, there are so many different types. I hope you take time to browse BedandBreakfast.com it is a great web site and find some getaways that meet your expectations.

i was very happy while at the colonial inn.. the off season rates are very reasonable. we stayed in the fritz room and it was very nice and cozy as well as clean. the only thing i would change would be to have a dvd player in the room..the site said the room came with a dvd player so we rented some movies to watch while we stayed but there was none in the room..also i have been to b&b's that leave refeshments and snacks out all night but it was only out from 3 to 5.. there was ice but no water or tea out... other then that we had a wonderful time and the staff was very nice and accomidating.

This was a "girls' week-end' of shopping and fun. There were three of us, and we had a wonderful time. The room was great, the breakfast filling, but not "stuffing", the village beautiful and the shopping was WONDERFUL!!!! We all were able to do some great Christmas shopping (also shopping for ourselves) at shoppes that were REASONABLY priced, and offered merchandise that was not the ordinary "mall " merchandise. We plan on returning within the next two months to bring someone else with us, and to return each year at Christmas time for our "girls' weekend". And last, but certainly not least, everyone in the Village was so nice and very helpful. And the dinner at Fred and Ethel's hit the spot- and was certainly a cozy, quaint restaurant. Can't wait to get back!!!

Our time in the south is over til next fall as we pack up and head back to Traverse City. We love it here on Hilton Head and if it wasn't so darn hot and humid, we'd try to stick it out longer. But the warm, but not hot, summer days and cool summer evenings of Traverse City are calling us home. So we are shifting the mailing address, packing up our nomadic life and heading north again. Katy has again drawn the distinct honor of flying home and will spend some time with her son as I trudge along I-77 north to Cleveland then west to Ann Arbor and meet up there.
But travel is not over for us. I 'm going to Alaska for a couple days and the World Series of Poker in Las Vegas in June. We are trying to arrange to spend some time with Aaron in Aspen during the Aspen Music Festival which he is attending. If we can find a way to get out of Traverse City during the National Cherry Festival we will, And we have the trip to see the Sequoias planned for the end of September on our way back south for the winter.
We live a blessed life, and our glad we can share our adventures and frugal ways with you all.
