Cecilia Flores-Oebanda has spent her life fighting - as a child for some education, as a teen rebel against a dictator, and for more than 20 years against human traffickers.
She has become the face of the Philippines anti-trafficking movement - a woman who has the ear of presidents, royalty and philanthropists around the globe.
Along the way she persuaded the biggest name in the Philippines - boxing legend Manny Pacquiao - to join her fight.
After two years of reporting in the Philippines – from going on police raids in Manila to going undercover in search of human trafficking in remote provinces - CNN can now tell their story.
Rescued girls describe how they were recruited by traffickers, the ordeals they endured - sometimes by men a computer click and half-a-world away - and how Oebanda saved them.
And we go undercover in Manila's bars where girls are available for tourists.
Now Oebanda is fighting a battle that could truly ruin her reputation and the organization she created - fraud allegations made by Philippine investigators.
(CNN) – A flaring furnace blasts another wave of searing heat on the faces of workers hauling bricks under a southern Indian sun.
They work up to 22 hours a day propping heavy stacks of bricks on their heads. None expects to be paid for this labor. None knows how long they'll be kept here. Some are as young as three years old.
Manoj Singh was one of 149 people rescued this year from a brick kiln outside Hyderabad, India. Like millions of other Indians, the toddler was born into extreme poverty.
When CNN correspondent Mallika Kapur visited Manoj's family, now back home, he and the some of the 34 other children freed, showed her how they would make the bricks from wet clay.
"They recall from their muscle memory," says Anu George Canjanathoppil, of International Justice Mission, a non-profit dedicated to eradicating slavery around the world. "So if you ask them to explain what they did, they cannot say."
Older laborers, however, had plenty to say. FULL POST

A Grammy Award-winning musician and actor is using his star power to help rescue children being exploited in Haiti, a nation founded by freed slaves.
In a Freedom Project documentary, Common shines a light on the plight of the Restaveks, the estimated 300,000 children working as domestic servants in Haiti.
Actress Demi Moore partners with CNN Freedom Project for a compelling documentary.

At a busy, exhaust-choked checkpoint along the India-Nepal border, Anuradha Koirala moves briskly among the box trucks, ballast tractors and passenger buses hastily queued up for inspection.
This is Koirala's best, and possibly only, chance to save stolen Nepalese children from a life in the sex trade.
"Girls are brought from the villages by people who can lure them and tell them they are getting a nice job," says Koirala, winner of CNN's 2010 "Hero of the Year" award.
Her organization, Maiti Nepal, intercepts 4 to 5 girls a day. It's an exhausting, unending endeavor. FULL POST

U.K. Consumer Confidence Wanes Despite European Travel Rebound
Cathy Schetzina
+1 860 350-4084 x380
New PhoCusWright report examines traveler attitudes and behavior in France, Germany and the U.K.
Sherman, CT USA, October 6, 2011 – Even as travel incidence in key European markets recovers from the economic recession, U.K. traveler sentiment has taken a dark turn. A new report from travel industry research authority PhoCusWright finds that while incidence of leisure travel increased across France, Germany and the U.K. in 2011, not all of these markets are feeling positive about the next twelve months.
According to PhoCusWright's European Consumer Travel Report Second Edition, the incidence of leisure travel increased across all studied markets in 2011, up 8% in France, 4% in Germany and 5% in the U.K. But while French and German travelers exhibited optimism about the next twelve months, the perspective among U.K. travelers was less positive.
"Even before riots tore through the streets of London and other English cities in August, consumer confidence showed clear signs of frailty," said Carroll Rheem, director, research at PhoCusWright. "Intentions for travel in the upcoming year show that U.K. optimism for key metrics, such as budget for holidays, is neutralized by pessimism and uncertainty."
Well over twice as many travelers plan to spend more on trips versus less in France and Germany over the next twelve months. In the U.K., however, just 23% plan to spend more, while 25% plan to spend less or are unsure. Similarly, while 32% of German travelers and 30% of French travelers intend to increase their traveling distance in the upcoming year, U.K. travelers reinforced a theme of weaker confidence. Just 23% of U.K. travelers plan to travel farther, while an additional 21% are unsure or plan to decrease their travel distance. But despite U.K. travelers' iffy outlook, they will remain at the high end of travel consumption as the indicators point to stagnant, but not negative, trends.
PhoCusWright's European Consumer Travel Report Second Edition examines traveler attitudes and behavior in three major European markets: France, Germany and the U.K. By providing analysis of both concrete behavior – including channel and segment usage, trip frequency and spend – as well as softer elements, such as intentions, influences and attitudes, the report paints an in-depth, comprehensive picture of consumers in each of these markets. In addition to taking stock of the current state of consumer travel, this report provides critical insight into traveler behavior in 2011 by positioning consumer trends within the context of larger trends in the industry. Highlights of the report include:
-Examination of general traveler behavior, including trip frequency and duration, travel party composition, travel spend and intentions for the upcoming year
-Summary of air travel and lodging trends, along with analysis of other travel components including car rental and rail travel
-Analysis of consumers' approach to the travel planning process—destination selection, shopping and purchasing – as well as how they share their experiences after traveling
-Detailed review of online and offline channel usage, including the information sources consumers use to select their leisure travel products
-Examination of booking trends, and the factors that influence consumers to choose one method over another
-Overview of how consumers use their mobile phones, along with the travel-related phone activities that are beginning to gain traction
-Analysis of traveler habits for sharing travel experiences, including social network usage and activities
PhoCusWright's European Consumer Travel Report Second Edition – a Global and European Edition publication – is available for purchase on the new PhoCusWright website. Introductory pricing (save 10% off the regular price of US$1,695) is in effect through November 15, 2011.

Four Peaks Animal Rescue
Facts about Iggy
- Breed: Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium) Mix
- Color: Red/Golden/Orange/Chestnut
- Age: Young
- Size: Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
- Sex: Male
My name is Iggy!
Iggy's Info...
I am already neutered, housetrained, up to date with shots, not good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Iggy is an adorable, neutered, male Corgi/ Terrier mix who has been with us for several years. Iggy prefers to be in a home with other dogs and in a quiet environment with NO kids! (Iggy is very sweet but mentally shuts down around children and CANNOT be around them due to his fear.) Cruelly abandoned and mistaken for a fox in someone's backyard, we brought him here as a scared and distrustful dog. It has taken patience and TLC to get Iggy to once again bond with humans after his tough start. Even though he has come a long way, he still needs that special someone who is willing to be patient with him as he continues to work through his trust issues. Iggy is very sweet and has never shown signs of aggression, even at his most fearful moments at 4PAR! A HAPPY companion, Iggy loves to tag along with us here at his foster home as we go through our daily routine. He gets along well with other dogs and cats, and even tolerates the goats and horses at a respectful distance!! Iggy is quite the funny character and loves to play ball with himself! He is dog door trained!! He will be a super addition to an adult family!

Gary police panel delays promotion for Lewis
by Lori Caldwell email@example.com|648-3258 February 7, 2013 9:32PM
Updated: March 10, 2013 6:26AM
GARY — Cpl. Dwayne Lewis has waited three years to move up in rank, but the Gary Police Civil Service Commission told him Thursday night he must wait at least another month for an answer to why he was not promoted.
"We have a new attorney. We want to make sure everything is done properly," board president Charles Smith told Lewis.
Lewis submitted a request to view commission records related to the promotional process in early January. He said he hasn't received any documents.
An agenda item "to acknowledge memorandum" from Lewis resulted in a vote to postpone any action until the March meeting.
Clorius Lay was selected to replace retired Charles Brooks as the board's legal consultant in January. "Attorney Lay just got here," Smith told Lewis.
"Forgive me if my confidence is not as high as you'd like it to be," Lewis said, adding that he is very frustrated with the lack of progress.
Lewis was next on the list to be promoted when Lt. Joshua Wiley left the police department when he was convicted of felonies related to a theft from an elderly neighbor.
After the meeting, board members spoke individually to Lewis, telling him they were not intentionally hiding anything.
In other business, the board agreed to begin accepting applications for more reserve officers on Monday.

It was a farmaish from Prakash ji that was pending for some time. In that write up, I had written that the film has some more wonderful songs, and had promised I would be posting more songs from this film. So here is the next song from this film. This is a gem of a duet rendered by Manna Dey and Suman Kalyanpur. The lyrics for this film are penned by Indeevar and Gulshan Baawra. The YouTube post identifies the lyricist as Gulshan Baawra.

Music director Ajit Merchant is better known for his contributions to the Gujarati cinema and to the theatre world in Bombay. He did venture into the Hindi film world also, albeit his contribution is limited to less than 10 movies. Saperaa (1961) is one of the movies that Ajit Merchant composed music for. I have already discussed a wonderful Manna Dey solo from this movie, some days back. Here is another beautiful gem of a song from the same movie. This is a duet, that is rendered so lovingly by Manna Dey and Suman Kalyanpur. The lyrics are by Indeewar. The lead roles in this movie are played by Jyoti and Ranjan. Other actors in the film are Tiwari, Jeevnkala, Sunder, Uma Dutt, Neena, Rajan Kapoor etc.

Nike Men's Lock Down Training Glove
Great gloves
Great fit, great grip. Got as a gift, but would definitely buy them!
January 13, 2015
So far so good
I bought this so my hands wouldn't get as torn up while I'm deadlifting. I don't wear them often enough to comment on durability, but the padding seems to be holding up well so far.
January 13, 2015
Nice glove works well for lifting
These gloves are great for lifting and general training.
January 13, 2015
You don't regret of this product
Those gloves are excellent to work out,nice and soft and fit nicely in your hands
November 26, 2014
Okay product at best!
The gloves do not extend enough and isn't padded well enough on your fingers that grip/make contact with the bar to prevent callous formation. Also, I find the thumb opens relativity small. I have average size hands.
November 11, 2014
Good but not great
These gloves fit perfect but when lifting heavy weight the seam from the thumb that runs down your hand gets very uncomfortable. Not for weights over 30lbs.
October 29, 2014
Great gloves
Great gloves,
Those are great gloves,, they are firm fitting and nice
October 15, 2014
Poor Grip
Not ideal for lifting weights. Doesn't have a good grip. Create a gap between your hand and the weights when you grab it.
September 25, 2014
This product has great comfort
I really like these gloves are designed as they are very comfortable, and the ventilation is very good because it does not smell bad with sweat.
September 23, 2014

Feb 6, 2013 1:20 AM
Tucson- An International fraud investigation has been uncovered involving cyber theft around the world and even here in Arizona targeting Basha's Grocery Stores.
Cyber criminals reportedly stole credit card information from customers from all of Bashas' family of stores, including AJ's Fine foods and Food City.
At the beginning of January the Pinal County Sheriff's Department started getting reports of fraudulent credit and debit card charges.
To date over 400 cases have now been filed, 150 in Lake Havasu City.
All have been traced back to Bashas' chain of stores. So far none have been reported in Pima county.
The thieves apparently used a high tech "malware" never seen before. Beginning in July of 2012, they used the software to make duplicates of the credit card numbers, then used those to buy prepaid cards.
Ken Colburn, from Data Doctors, says once thieves get access it is hard to protect your data, "They're looking for one of these connections that is not highly secured", said Colburn, "once they break it, there logged into a network and can get whatever information they want."
Because it is an international case, the FBI is involved and they are now searching for three suspects.
In a Statement from Basha's Family of Stores, Director of Communications, Kristy Jozwiak said, "We were recently the victim of a cyber attack by highly sophisticated criminals who gained access to parts of our systems to capture payment information. we are cooperating with federal law enforcement officials to undergo a thorough and exhaustive investigation."
The grocery chain claims that the malware has been contained. It was also reported that all victims of fraud in Pinal County have been reimbursed. But in Tucson, that is of little comfort to Bashas' customer, Gabe Ortero, "I don't know for sure if it came from Bashes, but somebody got my credit card information from somewhere", he said, "it could happen to anybody, you never know."
Although there have been no reported incidents of cyber theft related to the grocery chain in Pima County, Basha's is strongly urging all of their customers statewide to closely monitor all of their debit and credit card transactions and to report any unusual activity.

Since the last time we've taken a look at Samurai: Way of the Warrior, some substantial additions have introduced with its 1.1 update. Issues we had with the uneven difficulty have been addressed with the introduction of three difficulty levels.
In addition, online connectivity is now in play thanks to the social gaming platform dubbed AGON Online. Folks can compare scores, befriend other users, and post notifications regarding high scores to Facebook or Twitter. Pretty swank!
On the content side of things, a new dojo is available for the game's endurance mode. Outside of aesthetics, there doesn't appear to be a difference in gameplay compared to the original dojo stage.There are a few other tweaks to address bugs, but it's all under the hood stuff.
All things considered, we're pleased to see the developers listened to consumer feedback to evolve Samurai: Way of the Warrior into a better game. While we still have our issues with the average gameplay, this update (and a temporary price cut to .99 cents) help move this title to a 3.
One of our all-time favorite Nintendo DS games was Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword. It was one kick-ass action adventure game that combined blistering 3D graphics and wonderful controls that masterfully used a touchscreen for movement and combat. Naturally we were pumped up when we caught wind of Samurai: Way of the Warrior, a Japanese feudal action game that takes obvious cues from Tomonobu Itagaki's legendary Ninja Gaiden series.
Par for the course, Samurai: Way of Warrior has a boilerplate storyline to provide context for its hack n' slash adventure. You assume the role of Daisuke Shimada, a wandering warrior intent on taking down a terrorizing trio of Samurais. The story is told through static hand-drawn cutscenes, but some hilarious typos detract from the immersion factor. There's nothing revolutionary with the storytelling, but it strings together the eight chapters (levels) very well.
Finish him!
Most hack n' slash games on the iPhone make use of a virtual control pads and buttons. In a refreshing change of pace, Samurai: Way of the Warrior bucks that trend. Using a modified version of the innovative control scheme from Ninja Gaiden Dragon Sword, all movement and combat is executed through gestures and holds on the touchscreen.
Daisuke moves by pressing and holding a direction on the screen. Making a series of gestures on enemy opposition triggers your array of sword attacks. As you progress through the game, deadlier combo chains become available. While the mechanics are generally solid, they seem to have lapses which prevent intended attacks from playing out. These sporadic control issues are exacerbated by the game's cheap A.I.
Samurai: Way of the Warrior is a difficult game in a very unrewarding way. Instead of providing players with a gameplay landscape that's fair and challenging, this game games achieves its tough difficulty through lazy game design decisions. Once you get to the third chapter, you'll be frustrated by the enemy's newly found dexterity and agility.
Compounding matters are the larger numbers of enemies concentrated in tight areas. Primarily using evasive dodge moves, they'll avoid many of your attacks and converge upon you ruthlessly. Overall, the opposition ramps up so quickly and substantially that it feels like mechanics to dodge or block should have been unlocked. We braved it out long enough to see the game's unorthodox ending, but the later levels were beyond cheap.
You may cross this bridge if you answer me these questions three.
We're absolutely infatuated with the visuals in Samurai. Using a stylish cel-shaded visual direction, the world is beautifully illustrated and rendered. Daisuke moves fluidly and his sword will be the harbinger of a variety of cool death animations. Environments across the game's eight levels have distinct styles, and we kept trudging along to see the next piece of eye candy. There really aren't enough superlatives to express how impressed we are by Samurai: Way of the Warrior's visuals.
Outside of this game's extraordinary visuals, this a very difficult title to recommend. Each level looks fantastic, but it's a repetitive affair of perpetually clearing an area of enemies to open up a new area, just to repeat the same exercise. There's little strategy required, as the same techniques will vanquish white-belt peons and ballyhooed bosses alike.
Samurai also has a cool survival mode dubbed 'Dojo' that is all about clearing enemies in waves. Unfortunately, there's no record-keeping, which somewhat kills the appeal of that mode.
We're definitely bummed that we had so many issues with Samurai: Way of the Warrior, but it's an undeniable technical achievement that shows off what the iPhone is capable of visually.

participating in TIMSS vary in many respects—educationally, socially, economically, historically, culturally—and in each of those respects, they vary along many different dimensions. In the absence of more evidence than TIMSS can provide, one cannot select one practice and claim that if it were changed to be more like that of high-scoring countries, scores in the United States would rise.3 Studies like TIMSS can at best generate conjectures that need to be tested in the complex system of school mathematics that exists in any county. In this report, we use data from TIMSS and other international studies to help describe practice and performance in the United States— sometimes in contrast to that of other countries but never assuming a simple causal relation between a specific practice and performance.
This chapter is intended primarily to give an overall picture of U.S. mathematics education, describing the experiences and achievement of most students. But it should be emphasized that U.S. education is quite diverse, partly because of an unequal distribution of needs and resources, and partly because of the principle of local control. Thus, this chapter also attempts to describe that diversity, particularly with respect to student achievement.
In this chapter, we first take up in turn four central elements of school mathematics—learning goals, instructional programs and materials, assessment, and teaching—discussing the current status of each in the United States. We then examine the preparation and professional development of U.S. teachers of mathematics. Finally, we look at a major indicator of the health of the whole system, student achievement results, both across time and internationally.
The U.S. Constitution leaves to the separate states the responsibility for public education. State and local boards of education have the authority to determine the mathematics that students learn as well as the conditions under which they learn it. Many state boards of education have created curriculum standards and frameworks, and some have specified criteria that educational materials (principally textbooks) must meet if they are to be approved. Thus, each state can, in principle, specify quite different goals for learning mathematics at each grade level, and each local district can make adjustments as long as they fall within the state guidelines.
A major effort to set comprehensive learning goals for school mathematics at the national level was undertaken in 1989 by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) with the release of Curriculum and Evalu-

5 NBA Rookies You Need To Know
Ben McLemore, Sacramento Kings
Be prepared to see a ton of tweets with the hashtag #FreeBenMcLemore this season. The last Kansas Jayhawk star B.W. (Before Wiggins) is every bit the prototype of an NBA shooting guard. However, despite being 6-5 scoring machine, as a rookie he might ride the bench for a while. Either way, the St. Louis native plays with a chip on his shoulder and a knack for getting buckets that will surely excite not only Kings fans, but the whole league.

Follow-Up Postings:
Matt, if Passiflora incarnata is mulched well, it will live in your zone. Some think this one stinks - I think it smells like peanut butter! I don't know of a Passiflora that smells good - they smell odd, but I wouldn't say 'good'. |

Sin | |
Information | |
Status | Alive |
Family | Unnamed (father; deceased) Unnamed (mother; deceased) |
Actor | Bex Taylor-Klaus |
Source |
Cindy,[1] better known as Sin, is a wayward youth. She is a good friend of Roy Harper, Thea Queen, and the late Sara Lance.
Early lifeEdit
When Cindy was only a toddler, her mother died of cancer, leaving her father to raise her.
On May 10, 2008, Cindy went to a sports game with her father. He took a photo of her and kept it in his wallet. The following year, Cindy's father was shot down while flying a plane over Lian Yu, and soon died from wounds sustained in the crash. However, before he died he asked Sara to find and look after Cindy.[2] At some point Cindy chose to use the nickname "Sin".
Season 2Edit
After the Undertaking, Sin was attacked by a group of men attempting to rape her, but luckily she was saved by The Canary.
In "Broken Dolls", Roy Harper was pointed in her direction when looking for The Canary. When asked about her, she led him to The Canary's hideout and knocked him out. When he woke, she looked on as he was questioned by The Canary, but she let him go when The Canary told her he was harmless.[1]
Sometime later, Sin shared breakfast with Sara Lance, the alter ego of The Canary, and they both talked about their families. She later encountered Roy again and met Thea Queen, and she mentioned to him how Thea didn't know about him being The Arrow's sidekick. When The Mayor attacked the event they were at, Sin was wounded and was saved by Roy and Thea. As she was recuperating at a hospital, she was looked over by Roy and Thea. She woke up later and told Roy that, because he saved her, she would keep his secret. She commented on how Roy was an idiot, and Thea whole-heartedly agreed, leading to Sin admitting she had begun to like Thea.[3]
Not long after this, Sin told Roy and Thea of her friend, Max Stanton, who had gone missing for a week. She asked Roy if he knew someone that could help, but Thea commented that Roy could, and the three of them joined in on a search.[4]
In "Three Ghosts",
In "Blind Spot", Roy approaches Sin to show her the effects the Mirakuru. Upon hearing of a sleazy judge being around the area, Sin poses as a hooker to entice him. When the judge approaches him, Roy appears and begins to pummel him. Sin is able to calm Roy down and then calls 911 to get the judge to a hospital.
In "Time of Death", Sin attended a welcome home party for Sara Lance, and when she was introduced to her (the others not knowing of their friendship), Sin was quick to hug her, arousing suspicion among the others. Later when Sara had reconciled with her family, she reassured Sin that despite her having her big sister back, she would always consider Sin a little sister.[2]
In "Seeing Red", Sin encounters Roy completely under the influence of the Mirakuru. SIn attempts to stop several people from attacking Roy, as they misinterpreted the situation. Roy then pushed Sin to the ground and she later told Sara about Roy, citing that he didn't seem like himself. Just as Sara leaves Starling City, she and Sin share a hug.
Initially, like Roy, Sin resented the rich because she believes most of them are greedy, arrogant and selfish. Despite her initial dislike of Thea at first, after Thea saved her, Sin developed a newfound respect for her. Sin initially disliked Roy for associating with her but then developed a friendship with him, often referring to him as "Abercrombie", She had a sibling-like relationship with Sara and deeply cared for her.
Season 2Edit
- "Broken Dolls"
- "Crucible"
- "The Scientist"
- "Three Ghosts"
- "Blind Spot"
- "Time of Death"
- "Seeing Red"
- In the DC comics, Sin is much younger; she is a child who was destined to become the next Lady Shiva, but she was adopted by Dinah Lance and Oliver Queen.

- ↑ 2.0 2.1 "Time of Death"

Breakfast Topic: How realms evolve (or don't) {WoW}
May 28th 2010 10:38AM Funny how the level of Ninja'ing went up dramatically on Frostwhisper ever since the alliance started haemorrhaging players to the horde...
I've played on nothing but PVP servers since WoW was released, more so because friends prefer playing on them than out of personal preference. Back in Vanilla they had a point, especially prior to the introduction of the BG system, but in this day and age I can't help but feel they are an incredibly redundant part of the game. A servers community effectively used to revolve around the fact it was constant faction v faction pvp isolated on a single server. Since the move away to cross-realm battlegrounds, and now dungeons it really isolates the community side of things towards raiding on your faction.
In Vanilla part of enjoying PVP so much, at least for me, came from facing the same people week-in-week out and recognising so many names from the teams you were facing. Now I walk around the servers I have characters on and barely recognise a single name.
It leaves PVP servers at present feeling like little more than a griefer's paradise.
Western Plaguelands not so plagued anymore in Cataclysm {WoW}
Mar 1st 2010 8:37AM No more cauldron quests? :( Some of the quest chains in and around WPL are some of my favourites in the game. WPL and EPL have always been the leveling highlights for any character I've ever leveled, will really be a shame to potentially see some of those quests go.
Breakfast Topic: When is it too much WoW? {WoW}
Jan 3rd 2010 5:44PM I'd agree with the quitting, or at the very least not playing, when it gets to stage when your only doing things because they can be done - as opposed to doing it for enjoyment.
I often tend to "spread myself to thin" by playing multiple chars and trying to do dailies, heroics, etc to the point when it often dawns on me that I'm not enjoying doing it that much - but simply am doing it because it can be done!
The game is insidious for consuming time, its almost as if you just slowly don't notice it happening. I find it will then ramp upto a point where it flips that switch in my head that snaps me back to reality to realise how much time im spending playing. A break from wow normally follows this realisation.
The Daily Grind: Will you be checking out Cataclysm? {Massively}
Aug 25th 2009 12:43PM I feel rather torn when I look at what the expansion has to offer. I'd played from the beta through to a couple of months after WOTLK launched before finally succuming to burnout. I get the distinct impression looking back as well that for a long time it wasn't so much about being in love with the game itself but merely sticking around to spend time with a great group of people I had gotten to know.
The irony is that post Vanilla this game has slowly been losing something, at least for me, that really grabbed me and kept me wanting to come back for more. Outland and Northrend, whilst holding a significant place in warcraft lore both felt rather disconnected and lacking in spark compared to some of the Vanilla zones. They were much more rounded, in leveling progression/quest quality etc, but even though those zones are easier to get to grips with they just felt so much blander with the feeling of being hand-held everywhere.
There was something about the self-discovery of an out of the way quest, place, or having to piece together the puzzle for yourself that has created a special place for some of the Vanilla stuff in my heart. But then again I remember what it felt like first getting to grips with the game, it took me nearly a year to get really upto speed on what was what, where to go, and what to do, and in reality I did get frustrated many times in that period.
The coming changes for the zones/leveling/zone-progression in leveling look both as if they might be able to do the justice the zones and earlier leveling finally deserves. If I put my Nostalgia aside even I can see its a needed change, but it really is beginning to feel as if this isn't "My Wow" (which I can see at least some others are feeling here).
It's also a little annoying that they decide to change all this after 5 years, as I've got pretty much every class at 70-80 already! Hell that even includes duplicates on both factions.
One that really puts me off going back to WoW is that it would mean an encounter with the main problem wow has always had, the playerbase. I think its a part of what made me enjoy Vanilla so much more, that the community felt better and stronger (at least on my server) than it has ever done since. I think that fell apart with the Cross-Realm Battlegroup changes, and whereas I got to know so many people from PVP in those days, now there are so many "Johnny Randoms" out there it doesn't suprise me that the communities have gone down the toilet.
The game seems to have descended into elitism, despite most of the changes attempting to open the game up to everyone, with typical use of the achievement system as a litmus test to see if your sutiable to go to Heroic X the norm these days. Oh and then apparently the part of the game most people seem obsessed with these days collecting Non Combat Pets and or Mounts and posing in Dalaran with them...
The purpose of Achievements, and how it's changed over time {WoW}
Aug 13th 2009 4:11PM I've run across more problems with it than any upsides to it really. I've quit playing recently in some small way as a result of it, I found that the server I played on it was impossible to pug anything without having some form of achievement to get on Raid X,Y, or Z.
I don't really blame people for using it as a litmus test for prospective group mates, I mean it's there so its going to be used, what I really got frustrated with was the level to which it was used.
I've been in guilds, raided extensively in Vanilla, TBC & WOTLK, played all but 2 classes at max level, and would consider myself competent in any of the roles in a group, but none of that matters to some if you don't have Achievement X in the eyes of some.
So for a casual who would like to raid on the odd occasion, they are more likely to be a hinderance than a blessing.
As an an Alt-o-Holic I find the achievements system to feel somewhat less rewarding as well, where are the "account" achievements? Leveled X, Y, Z to 60/70/80 etc? Mehh it doesn't really matter I suppose, seeing as at the end of the day its still pointless nonsense that doesn't really mean anything! Just another time-sink to keep you sucked in.
Onyxia returns in Patch 3.2.2 {WoW}
Aug 13th 2009 6:15AM Part of my likes the idea of reviving old content in this manner, part of me hates it.
I raided a lot in Vanilla, and I guess raids like this one hold a fonder place in my heart for some reason. Onyxia perhaps particularly so I as I had my own mini-blowout on vent one raid... don't raid with muppets it really isn't good for your blood pressure!.... but anyway, Blizzard are going to be damned if they do and damned if they don't on a move like this I figure.
They were pretty staunchly in the camp of "It's old, it's not being changed yadda yadda", so the sudden revamp of an older instance opens a bit of a can of worms. We'll start having people ask for more revamps of older content, Heroic This/That etc, and they'll have little excuse as to why they won't do it after Revamping Onyxia.

Thoughtt Y'all might be interested. Today on CNN there was a debate/Interview of sorts with two people on the subject of CCW on Campus.
On one side was W. Scott Lewis of Students for Conceal Carry on Campus. The other side represented by Garret Lewis, a survivor of the Va. Tech shooting.
I'll summarize as best I can, I don't the greatest memory, unfortunately, so forgive me if I mess something up, but here goes.
Garret's contention is that Students aren't able to use firearms well enough to be effective, and that there is very little guarantee that it will do any good. He (or the host, I cant recall which) pointed out that Police NY City, when involved in a shooting type situation only hit their targets 27% of the time ) He went on through the course of the interview to point out that Students are under far too much stress, are not emotionally, and hormonally able to handle guns, and the same goes for Professors. That its just a bad idea all around for everyone. He did brign up one decent point, that there should be a focus on prevention of incidents before hand (Well, DUH, ya think?)
Lewis on the other hand, pointed out that there are already many people of student age carrying everywhere but on campus, and that there have been 0 incidents with those folks. Also, that there are some campuses that allow forms of carry (I wasn't aware of this) and for (I think he said )6 semesters there has been 0 incidents of accidental or purposeful shootings. (Garret countered with "there are thousands of campuses with no guns that haven't had any shootings" Lewis countered with "There was no problem in Va and N. Ill until there was a problem ) Lewis was also asked by the host if he was carrying right now. Hist reply, and it was a good one IMO, was "thats the beauty of Conceal Carry, you'll never know" He also countered the stats on NY City police with "CC permit holders aren't placed under the same circumstances and situations that Police officers are"
Thats about all I recall at the moment, I thought it was good discussion, and Lewis over all did a good job. I might have brought up the point that many young men and women are taught shooting sports and are ingrained with shooting safety and understanding at a very early eage, and that, some of them are even trained by the military. I know my nephew in law, a reservist, new how to shoot everything used in boot camp before he was 20. Garret, on the other hand IMO did not bring up one good point other then prevention (again, duh, common sense) His arguments were really more emotional based. Sure, you are goign to have some kids not able to handle guns, nor should they, but to throw the baby out with the bathwater is fairly silly.
My opinion is this, In some way shape or form there should be at least one, hopefully two, students who are trained and proficient with handguns in every class. It should not be general knowledge for all the students of said class, and would work under the premise of Conceal Carry. The school should actively try to place CC students into each class, as best as possible, this way there is at least the chance of protection for all classes. This along with the already in place warning system.
EDIT: Mods, this may be better in the CCW issues board? Please move if needed, sorry.

The oldest Syrah vineyard in Spain, planted in a field outside the Catalonian village of Darmos in the province of Tarragona, is part of the country's newest wine appellation. In November 2001, the Spanish government carved the Montsant Denominación de Origen out of the vast wine region of Tarrag-ona, which sprawls along the Mediterranean coast south and west of Barcelona and inland toward Zaragoza.

Arvo update - Massive now, bumpy, wild and raw. Winds more SSW, even Sth. Sets are maxing the beaches right out. So much water moving. Experienced crew only at Coogee and Lurline maybe - Earlier report -Pretty solid this morning, definitely the biggest swell so far in 2015. 6-8ft from the SSE and some bigger ones on outer reefs and super south exposed locations. The only real rideable action this morning is at Sth Maroubra, Coogee and in the corner at Nth Bondi. Experienced crew only today. Worth a paddle for experienced crew for sure. Fingers crossed the banks get shaken up and not totalled. The wind is offshore WSW early, suns out - yeeow.Maybe worth considering a drive up or down the coast. I will update later.

We are putting a new 2nd floor laundry room in with our renovation and I would like to put in a tile backsplash. I'm looking for mini subway mosaic tile and it's hard to find nice options that don't have some natural stone included. Is that going to be problematic in a laundry room? We are avoiding natural stone tile in bathrooms because of water absorption - am I on the right track with that approach? Thanks - my first post and since we are doing a huge project in our house this year, I'm sure I will have more questions. :) |
Follow-Up Postings:
I don't think the backsplash will be an issue at all. Where are you putting it? At the sink? I would think if it is something that could go in a kitchen than it could go into the laundry room. More concerning is the laundry room on the 2nd floor. I have heard some that have had too much movement in their floors to successfully have washers upstairs, especially front loaders. Check the installation recommendations for your machine. Maybe someone else with more knowledge with machines can weigh in. |
- Posted by MAchanteuse (My Page) on Thu, Jan 16, 14 at 20:11
Thanks enduring. I've done some research on the upper floor laundry rooms - I thought I saw some here who had solved that problem. I will do more investigating into those solutions and the best machines to get. I'm glad you think the natural stone tile won't be a problem. DH is nervous about putting natural stone in the kitchen, so I was equally nervous about the laundry room. The backsplash will be behind the sink, yes. |
You will want to seal the tile before you grout it, keeping it out of the grout spaces. Sealing the surface prior to grouting will help release the grout at clean up. Then seal again when finished. I have a marble backsplash in my kitchen and I have had no issues. I installed it in 2011. |

I have been following this discussion with great interest over the past weeks. All of the views expressed and/or comments made are most valuable and that they complete one another in an interesting way. All I can add is that human rights education is and should be seen as one of the most critical instruments to avoid the adversities of negative cultures that damage human well being and perpetuate social, economic, psychological and political exclusion. Education in general and human rights education in particular, should be designed or restructured therefore in a manner that it encompasses all knowledge and substantive and operational ammunition to fight against and challenge such cultural and tradition-based legitimization and human rights violations. Tradition based honour killings and female circumcision are simply perpetuations of feudal and tribal community norms and have normally no place in the formal and rational society. Yet, they continue and its victims are always the poor and the most vulnerable women and girls. Religious fundamentalism making its inroads at an unprecedented pace in many countries in the world since the last two decades are outright violations of basic human rights -- girls as against boys being prevented from having equal access to their most basic and the most critical "capability formation" right to education. Cultures are learned. They are not static entities of some sort. They change and should be changing especially when they begin to become oppressive. This change, as Patrick Karanja suggests, can only be meaningfully achieved through continuing cultural dialogues, sharing of experiences and through the evaluative processes which should be in place and fully functioning at all levels of the society, including the educational system, policymaking processes, government, public and private and civil society organizations. HRE practitioners and thinkers, more so than others, will need to maintain a holistic view on the impact of cultural processes and monitor the way in which they support and/or impede the formation of people's capabilities at both individual and collective societal levels. HRE, with this concern at its heart, can be more relevant in the framework of human rights and children's rights values and contribute better to the improvements in enlarging human rights.

I'm considering Gaura biennis for a very small (15' x 15') meadow planting in my yard. If you've grown Gaura biennis (as opposed to Gaura lindheimeri or other perennial species), what do you think of it? In particular, does it stay upright or flop in your garden? How tall does it grow? And how showy is it?
Thanks for any information. |
Follow-Up Postings:
We have some growing in our backyard - from seed sown 2 years ago. The individual flowers are pretty (nice color this late in the season) but short-lived. They are well over 6ft tall (area facing east). They will look nice/noticeable in a clump amid tall grasses like the Indian grass or Big bluestem. They are a big hit with the bees although earlier in the season they were a big hit with the Jap beetles. The G. lindheimeri cultivars are much smaller and a single plant is enough to be noticed.

More reviews by jordansmommy310
This brush was included in a MAC Brush Gift Set that I recieved as a gift. I use it to fill in my brows and line my concealer on my brows. I dont use cream eyeliner so idk how it holds up with that product but it works great for eyebrows.

I purchased this 266se in the "She's Got It All" Brush Set & Bag from the Tartan Tale Collection, which I bought from a CCO.
I have wanted to try this brush for a while now as I heard that it was good for eyeliner and hoped it would replace my EcoTools Eyeliner Brush.
The quality of the bristles of this brush are really poor, there is a variety of different colour hairs which I wouldn't mind but they are all have a different thickness. The hair also seem to have been poorly cut so they feel very stratchy on the delicate eye area. The angle of my 266se also seems to be kind of "crooked"
I do agree that this brush would be good for filling in eyebrows, which I don't do often. I will most likely give this brush away to someone who will use it.
I still have a slight hope I have like the full size of the 266

I have the SE version from the Holiday 2009 Morning, Noon, & Knight Everything Eye Brush Set. The quality is not the same as the full sized version, but it suits my needs.
I thought it was suppose to be a eyebrow brush but found out that it suppose to be an eyeliner brush. Do not use this SE brush as a eyeliner brush, the SE lack of quality has made it very useful for filling eyebrows. However the bristles are to stiff and sratchy to apply liner on your eye lid. Brows YES, eye-lid buy the full size brush

Attraction Details :
Located on Prapoklao Road, Chiang Mai City Arts and Cultural Center stands on the location of the former royal hall. Built in 1924 with elegant architectural design, the building was first used as the central administrative offices of Monthon Phayap, later as the Provincial Hall of Chiang Mai until the municipality renovated it for the cultural center in 1997. The restoration of the center has earned the municipality the award from the Royal Society of Siamese Architects in 1999. The center is created to promote the understanding of Chiang Mai's roots, a sense of pride in local identity, and to preserve the beauty of local culture. The center has been divided into 2 sections, front side and rare section. The front side is all for permanent exhibit showing the development of the region from the pre-history to its rise and decline as an independent capital until the present time through variety of media and presentation. And the rare side is the enclosed open-air courtyard reserved for cultural activities, temporary exhibition, a souvenir shop, a lecture theatre, an exhibition hall for Lanna arts and an archive.

We are Macmillan. Cancer Support
Find out how we produce our information|
This page discusses some of the practical and emotional issues you may face when the person you care for is having tests or being treated for cancer.
The person you're caring for may want you to be with them at different times during their diagnosis and treatment.
Some people like to have lots of independence for as long as possible. Others prefer to have someone with them for most of the time. The amount of support they need may vary from week to week, depending on what's happening to them and how they're coping.
One of the most helpful things you can do is to learn more about cancer and cancer treatments, so that you can understand what the person is going through.We have detailed information about different types of cancer |and treatments|. We also have this information as booklets, leaflets or audiobooks. You can order free copies at be.macmillan.org.uk|
If the person you care for is going for investigations and tests, or waiting for results, this is probably an unpredictable and distressing time. There may be a number of visits to the hospital for different appointments before the doctors can confirm that your partner, relative or friend has cancer. This can take up a lot of time.
It can be a very difficult time when they are told they have cancer.
You will both need time to come to terms with it and you may feel a range of emotions. This may affect your ability to work well.
During this time, you may want to think about:
Some operations for cancer will mean the person you care for needs to stay in hospital for a short time. Sometimes, depending on the situation, the stay may be longer.
There may be a period of time after the surgery| when they are recovering and need more support. You may want to:
During this time, it's important to give yourself time to rest|.
Radiotherapy| treats cancer using high-energy x-rays.
It's usually given in the following way:
You may be planning to go with the person you are caring for when they have their treatment. Although each treatment takes only a few minutes, the travel time might add considerably to the amount of time you need away from work.
There are different types of anti-cancer drug. There are three main groups: chemotherapy| drugs, targeted therapies| and hormonal treatments|.
Chemotherapy drugs are usually given in a chemotherapy unit in the hospital over several months.
Targeted therapies are a newer group of treatments that work by targeting the growth of cancer cells. They are also given in a chemotherapy unit in the hospital over several months.
Hormonal therapies are drugs that can stop or slow the growth of cancer cells by either changing the level of particular hormones in the body, or preventing the hormones affecting the cancer cells.
Treatment with anti-cancer drugs is usually given every two or three weeks at scheduled times.
Each session will usually involve an afternoon or a full day in the chemotherapy unit at the hospital. But sometimes, it may involve a stay overnight or for a few days. This will depend on the type of cancer being treated and the anti-cancer drugs used.
Chemotherapy and targeted therapies are usually given regularly. But sometimes there are delays in treatment, for example if a person needs longer to recover from the side effects of treatment. It can help to explain this to your key contact at work and try to plan for the unexpected, wherever possible.
Most hormonal therapies are given as tablets, but some are given as injections every few weeks or months.
If you would find it helpful to ahve information about these treatments in booklets then we can send you detailed information about treatments, individual drugs and ways of coping with the side effects. Call us on 0808 808 00 00 or visit be.macmillan.org.uk|
Treatment can be stressful and exhausting. You may find that the person experiences mood swings that are out of character. It can help both of you to have some time alone.
It's a good idea to plan ahead for each visit, especially if you will be there for a few hours. You may want to:
Some people are able to travel to and from their treatments without any problems, but others may need some help with their transport.
It may be possible to arrange transport to take your relative or friend to their appointments. Some GP surgeries can arrange volunteer drivers and the hospital may also be able to help.
Some areas have local voluntary groups, which are sometimes called 'good neighbour' schemes. They provide practical help to people in need, and this often includes help with transport to hospital or your GP surgery. You could also ask family and friends about setting up a rota.
This is a time when working from home or flexible working may be useful. It may be worth discussing this with your employer.
Some people may need to stay in hospital while they have treatment. This may affect how much time off you might need if you want to be near them and the hospital is some distance away.
Once the main treatments are finished, your relative or friend may have follow-up appointments and further treatment.
This can include things such as ongoing medication and check-ups, scans and physiotherapy.
Many people who have been treated for cancer worry that it will come back. They might think that any new symptoms they have are caused by the cancer, when they may not be related to the cancer at all. This uncertainty can be difficult at a time when they feel they should be getting back to normal.
We have more information on life after cancer|.
For answers, support or just a chat, call the Macmillan Support Line free* (Monday to Friday, 9am-8pm).
*See information about calling our support line from a mobile|.
You may say 'I'm just being their husband, partner, daughter or friend...' yet the support you provide is vital: From helping with shopping, dressing or being there when they need to talk.
If you have any questions about cancer, need support or just want someone to talk to, ask Macmillan.


text: The allure sound of Daft Punk's "Get Lucky" (and arguably part of the vibe of the Random Access Memories) has to be credited to Nile Rodgers. Hell, all of this talk about Daft Punk music in 2013 originated on Nile's blog. It'd make sense that the androids would jump at the chance to add their special touch to some previously unreleased masters that Nile Rodgers found from years gone by, a lot of it his old solo stuff along with tracks from the Chic days. The best part? Nile confirms that whatever comes of these collaboration(s) could come out later this year!
