Our successful tactics for the gauntlet is for me to attract most elites and birds on the way up. Get the group to single target DPS the elites to keep them managable. But essentially i am stood at the top like a mob magnet while main party go on the tempest. Once he's dead we clear down whats left on me.
K, sounds a lot less sad! In fact fairly normal for the amount of AoE you were doing since I'd also assume you're doing it in high spell damage gear with consecrate libram etc.
Without you having said that I'd assumed you'd downed 3-4 bosses at least.
See ZA thread for stuff on there but yeah, that's the tactic I use too. stealther marks up the first 2 wind walkers(those heal). I ride up to second set, consecrate spammage and tank the whole lot, DPS kills two wind walkers, I backup to next set, rinse/repeat. Other elites die from the AoE. Second tank picks up the ones at the bottom and brings them in to the aoe. if they can. Move fast and only focus down the windwalkers, have someone non-damage ability or MD the tempest at the end to you.

Yeah, it sounds like you're skewing damage toward the trash very strongly there, especially if the wipes on Akil'zon were fairly quick. Try bringing up a panel in SWS for "Damage to target: Akil'zon" (or use Nallorak if you actually have a full fight for him) if you still have it logged in timeline. You can't merge pet data for it (so keep in mind felguard locks and bm hunters are going to look a lot lower unless you manually add their pet's damage), but it should put a much more realistic perspective on things. Also, if players with fullblown no-max-target AE's are still clocking in below you on trash, they may not be used to working with a paladin tank yet, especially on a gauntlet where mobs arrive in the middle of the fight. Seed of Corruption has gotten my warlock into a lot of trouble on 5+ mob pulls if there's no consecrate tanking... and I'm sure most of them have learned the hard way that going full throttle for the damage meter isn't worth it if it gets you killed.

Bear OT, or Tauren? Check out the ZA discussions about hitboxes and how they get you into trouble on the Lynx fight. If it's a warrior OT, Savory Deviate Delight is a big help.
Horde pallies tend to have this problem more than Alliance -- I'm a dwarf tanking with a gnome warrior, so we can just stand on top of each other.

It's possible with anything that has a lot of aoe. For instance, in MH, I'm usually number 1 until after the Anetheron fight is over.

By LARRY VAUGHT
Sporting News columnist Mike DeCourcy was the first to tell me how special he thought Kentucky's eventual 2012 national championship team could be several months before that season even started.
Now that Kentucky coach John Calipari will have his deepest and most experienced team in his six seasons at UK, I wondered how DeCourcy thought the 2014-15 team might compare to that 2012 championship team.
"I think at this point I am still not sure on paper this team is better than the 2012 team," said DeCourcy. "That team probably had more issues at point guard going into 2011-12 than this team will have. This team has two excellent options (Andrew Harrison and Tyler Ulis) and that team only had one (Marquis Teague) and it took time to figure out.
"But Anthony Davis still is the best talent if you stack up everybody on both teams by far. That 2012 team also had Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb, a great shooter, and the all bought into Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. Then don't forget Darius Miller.
"This year's team will have more big bodies, but you can only play so many at a time before the defense gets sacrificed a little bit. I am not yet convinced this will be a superior team in terms of what rotation John uses. You talk about talented players, this team has more but what can John use and how will he use that talent.
"Nobody who wins a championship plays 11 or 12 guys. You go back to (Kentucky's) 1996 (championship season) and see how many guys played a lot once the games got real. When they were killing teams, a lot played but in the Final Four and tight games the rotation was tight. This team could be the same way."

Test requirements: GRE |
For additional information: See program admission requirements in this Bulletin. Also see www.epidemiology.vcu.edu/education/mph for more program details. |
The Master of Public Health program prepares students committed to public health careers in the public, private or nonprofit sectors. Public health works to prevent health problems in populations before these problems occur. The M.P.H. provides a rigorous curriculum to help students develop the analytic and critical reasoning skills to improve population health. The program boasts experiential learning, a highly interactive environment, accessible and approachable faculty and student involvement in important projects. This is achieved through a minimum of 45 credits of formal course work, practicum and seminars in year one; an internship, typically conducted in the summer between the first and second year; a 20-hour community-based learning experience; and a capstone project planned and implemented in the second year of the program.

Public health internship: The public health internship is a supervised experience designed to expose M.P.H. students to a real-world public health practice setting, requiring them to integrate classroom knowledge and skills in practical applications in a professional environment. Each student intern works with a practice site supervisor who assigns tasks, instructs the student in new skills and evaluates the student's progress. Students work a minimum of 180 hours in a professional public health organization.
Capstone project: The culminating work in the M.P.H. program is the capstone project. The project is a practical experience that allows the student to apply what has been learned in the didactic components of the curriculum to a focused project. The goal is to enhance the student's academic experience through the application of public health concepts and skills in a supervised experience. Students are required to synthesize the literature, apply theory and integrate knowledge gained and principles in situations that approximate some aspects of professional practice. With this mentored experience, students are able to both broaden their skills and hone their proficiency in a specific area of public health. The major product of this culminating experience is expected to vary depending on the educational goals of the student, but could include one of the following:
At a minimum, the capstone experience will require the integration of multiple major competencies used by a public health professional. In fulfilling the capstone requirement, each candidate must: (a) submit a formal written paper of sufficient depth and rigor and (b) satisfactorily complete an oral or poster presentation of the project chosen as the basis for the written paper at an appropriate venue (e.g., stakeholder meeting, departmental seminar, research forum, etc.) approved by the M.P.H. program director.

Information for Action: School Policies to Prevent Childhood Obesity
An RWJF National Program
In response to dramatic increases in the number of Arkansas children and adolescents who are overweight or at risk for overweight, in 2003 the Arkansas legislature passed Arkansas Act 1220 to Combat Obesity. This new law included the most ambitious school reforms in the nation to limit vending and competitive foods (a la carte and vending items that compete with the school meals that must meet federal guidelines, e.g. sodas and foods of limited nutritional value). It also established better standards for food offerings and physical activity.
One section of the act requires all school districts to measure body mass index (BMI) for every public school student annually and report results to parents.
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation (RWJF) started funding a set of grants it calls Information for Action that takes advantage of Arkansas Act 1220 by supporting two activities that promote understanding about the effectiveness of school-based initiatives in reducing childhood obesity.
This report covers findings and results through 2007; it will be updated when Information for Action has closed.
Information for Action's components are:
- Act 1220 Evaluation, in which researchers at University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences Fay W. Boozman College of Public Health measure the effects of Act 1220 on children, families and schools. The evaluation assesses children's diet, physical activity and school environment the year Act 1220 took effect (year 1) and again for each of the three years after implementation of the act (years 2, 3 and 4). This component is funded to mid-August 2012.
- The Arkansas BMI Database Project, in which researchers at the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement (ACHI) at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences analyze BMI data to study how BMI status affects health status and to use findings to inform policy. Through 2007, the database contains four years of BMI data on Arkansas students. This component is funded through November 2009.

Winner:The Willmar 8
From MN150
On December 16, 1977, with a wind chill of 70 degrees below zero, eight women employees of the Citizens' National Bank in Willmar, Minnesota, donned their snowmobile suits and went out on strike. They were protesting the blatant sexism that reigned at the bank, and more subtly at other banks throughout the state.
The specific event that set them off was the hiring of a young man, inexperienced, to a position earning about $700 a month, significantly higher than the $400 monthly salary most of the women earned after years of service. And, more importantly, the women were not given the opportunity to apply for the position anmd were expected to train the new employee.
The community, in general, lent little support to the women. The strike caused stress within marriages, families, and among friends. They did, however, receive support from the local National Organization for Women group, much attention from the media, and from Hollywood when actress/director Lee Grant called and made a documentary covering the story.
Although in June 1977 the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ruled there was "reasonable cause to believe" there had been gender discrimination at the bank, by the summer of 1979 the National Labor Relations Board issued its final ruling: the bank had committed unfair labor practices, but those practices had not caused the strike. It meant no back pay, and no guarantee of getting their jobs back. One after another, they found new jobs.
But they did make history. The Willmar 8 are now in the history books, and discussed in classrooms throughout the country. They changed the way labor and the women's movement interact.
Becuase of their bravery and tenacity, while under considerable economic and personal duress, I nominate the Willmar 8 to the MN 150. They deserve a page in Minnesota history.

Report: Lenovo Prepping A Quad-Core LePad Tablet PC For Early 2012
Lenovo is reportedly working on a quad-core LePad (ThinkPad in other markets) tablet. This comes from a Digitimes report that credits upstream supply chain partners as the source.

Lenovo has seen a fair amount of success in the tablet market thanks to its solid ThinkPad Android tablet. Read More
Lenovo's 2005S LePad Goes Live In China For Just $415

Today those plans have taken shape with a pricing announcement for the 5-inch LePad S2005 Android mini-tab (or giant phone). Read More
The Lenovo LePad S2005, A 5-inch Tabletphone For The Chinese Market

This number is slightly less than Gartner's earlier projections and the Western European market is partly to blame. Read More

Lenovo Sees 2012 To Be The Year Of USB 3.0
USB 3.0 devices have been available since late 2009. I tested several first-gen USB 3.0 external hard drives in early 2010 and the spec hit several laptop platforms a bit after that. Still, even though it's nearly halfway through 2011 now, USB 3.0-equipped computers are rare. One Lenovo product manager expects the spec to hit the big time next year. Read More

Usually foreign movies are remade into American movies by Hollywood.
This time it is the other way around.
The 1992 Best Picture and Best Director Oscar winning movie, Unforgiven, by Clint Eastwood, has been remade by the Japanese.
Oscar nominee Ken Watanabe (The Last Samurai) stars in this Japanese Western remake, with the action now set in late 1800′s Hokkaido. A long retired samurai is drawn back into action by the combination of poverty and a large bounty, at a time when Japan largely abandons the old ways to adopt a more modern stance.
Released in Japan in theaters in 2013, the Unforgiven Japanese remake is tentatively scheduled for release in U.S. theaters Christmas 2014.

I just picked up what was labeled as a Purple Wisteria Tree at a local plant auction. I am not familiar with the trees so I am trying to figure out if it really is a Wisteria tree or is it really the vine. I'm fine with either I just need to know so that I plant it in an appropriate spot.
The three main truncks are currently tied together and, when held vertical, reach about 5'. These main trunks can not support themselves and I will have to stake them if it really is a tree. There are also several very slender vines / tentacles that are reaching out. Are there any features distinctive that vary from the tree to the vine? I know the label says "tree" but it so looks like thick vines and not trunks. Thanks, Jim |
Follow-Up Postings:
- Posted by butterfly4u 6 SE PA (My Page) on Tue, Jun 3, 08 at 1:33
Jim, They are one in the same. Check out link below. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Wisteria tree thread
The 'tree' is really a vine that is grown as a semi-self-supporting plant. I wouldn't expect it to continue to grow upward and support itself, like a real tree would. The growth that will come from it will be viney. If I wanted to grow a free-standing wisteria in an open location, I'd put a large timber in the ground and grow the vine on that. Eventually with some prudent trimming you'd get what looks like a wisteria trunk, but is really a timber covered, more or less, in thick wisteria vines, with a shaggy growth of vines coming out of the top. You can do the same thing with Trumpet Creeper. |
A neighbor of mine in Massachusetts used to have one of those "trees" in her front yard. It was quite old, and stood on its own. It was kept short by pruning, I guess, and flowered nicely every year. It was quite attractive, and the trunk was a bit wavy looking, but looked like it was all one trunk--probably about six or eight inches wide. It probably was several vines twisted together, though. I suspect keeping it to size in Pennsylvania might be more of a challenge; things grow in a more restrained fashion in Massachusetts. The soil is poorer, and the climate is a bit more challenging than in PA. |

'Runner Runner': Gambling thriller deals a weak hand
A review of "Runner Runner," a by-the-book (and by-the-clock) gambling thriller, starring Justin Timberlake, Gemma Arterton, Anthony Mackie and Ben Affleck.
Seattle Times movie critic
Movie Review
'Runner Runner,' with Justin Timberlake, Gemma Arterton, Anthony Mackie, Ben Affleck. Directed by Brad Furman, from a screenplay by Brian Koppelman and David Levien. 91 minutes. Rated R for language and some sexual content. Several theaters.
If I were fluent in card terminology, I'd say something clever here about how Brad Furman's "Runner Runner" shows its hand too early and folds in the clutch, or well before the clutch, or maybe it doesn't even have a hand, or ... well, let's just say that flailing around with gambling metaphors is more fun than watching this movie. This movie is a by-the-numbers gambling thriller in which people say things like "I'll fade your action" (what?), and even when you have no clue what they're talking about, you know exactly where the movie's going and can pretty much tell from your watch how and when they'll get there.
Good-guy grad student Richie (Justin Timberlake) travels to Costa Rica to meet bad-guy tycoon Ivan (Ben Affleck), believing that Ivan's network of online-gambling sites has robbed him of his (freely gambled) Princeton tuition money. (He is, amusingly, quite upset about the unfairness of it all; seeming not to realize that he is not exactly the poster boy for injustice.) Bad guy charms good guy. Beautiful woman (Gemma Arterton) appears, for no particular reason, and flings her hair about. FBI guy (Anthony Mackie) appears, ditto, minus the hair. Punches are thrown. Nice suits are worn. Crocodiles are fed. Affleck displays some impressive stubble, which you might find yourself staring at for lack of much else to do.
It's all a big disappointment from Furman, whose previous film — 2011's "The Lincoln Lawyer," with Matthew McConaughey — was great fun. The actors, who've all been better elsewhere, never generate much energy (though Mackie gets a few funny moments); they, too, seem to be going through the motions, like a tired card dealer who's seen it all before.

Ballin: 70 combined points for Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and James Harden and only four turnovers for the lot of them. When the other 10 guys only have to score 21 combined points, that's pretty good.
Not so much: For the second straight year, the Los Angeles Lakers are out after the second round of the playoffs. Lucky for them, they only have the third-oldest roster in the league and they're only paid the third-highest amount of money, so that should make things very easy to turn around in a summer.
Turning point: Here's when you knew the series was over.
Of all the off-the-wall things that happened on that play — the astoundingly terrible pass, Westbrook's incredible shot, his even better celebration and the crowd going bonky — it's hard to decide which part is the best. So I choose all of it.
No: Stop looking at me, Doc Rivers.
Rescind me: Terrible call on the Metta World Peace flagrant, which turned in to a 5-point possession for the Thunder, thanks to technicals from MWP and Kobe Bryant. If Thabo Sefolosha hits that makeable three, we're talking an 8-pointer, which can't happen too often.
Good things come in threes: See if you can count the three great things that happen in this short clip.
1) Evan Turner getting tripped up and sliding 12 feet; 2) Andre Iguodala dunking; 3) Tony Battie celebrating.
Trash talk chronicles: Here's Elton Brand after yesterday's loss — "See you Saturday."
Caveat: Here's the bad part — it was to a ballboy. Interesting target, Eltster.
Hi there: Adam Morrison is back, you guys.
If there was a list of NBA players who could be bass guitars players, he'd be the top of the list if he were still in the NBA. As it stands, Joakim Noah is the champion and Kyrylo Fesenko is the runner-up.
Peach out: See you later, Stan Van Gundy and Otis Smith. You had a good run and you seem like chill bros. Good luck with your lives. Sorry about all the weird Dwight Howard stuff.
Other things: Career-high 27 points for Brandon Bass, which is pretty chill … Great block from Devin Ebanks, who did literally nothing else in the series besides get ejected and earn himself a $25,000 fine … Cool "All Tans" look for the "Inside the NBA" bros last night … Hey Oklahoma City, stop shooting people … But keep wearing fake James Harden beards

Geothermal Energy: Drilling Beneath the Surface of Our Energy Dilemma

Tapping the Earth's Natural Energy
Geothermal power plants take advantage of the earth's hot spots. In and below the earth's crust, radioactive material decays, heating up everything around it. Temperatures can reach 1,200 degrees C producing steam. The steam spins a turbine, which turns the shaft of an electric generator. For hot spots that do not have underground water nearby, engineers can send water through pipes to the hot spot and convert the water to steam. Geothermal energy is most likely to be harnessed in an area close to volcanic activity.

Study Finds Conditions Ripe For Major Quake Along San Andreas Fault
CALIPATRIA, CA - JULY 03: Steam rises as a geothermal power plant taps into energy produced by underground pressures near the southern end of the San Andreas Fault at the Sonny Bono Salton Sea National Wildlife Refuge on July 3, 2006 near Calipatria, California. The plant is located over the Salton Sea Geothermal Field where temperatures measured in wells drilled for geothermal brines reach 360 degrees Celsius at depths of 1,500 to 2,500 meters. Scientists have warned that the southern end of the 800-mile-long San Andreas fault north and east of Los Angeles has built up immense pressure and could produce a massive earthquake at any time. Such a quake could produce a sudden lateral movement of 23 to 32 feet which would be would be among the largest ever recorded.

Don't Miss the Journey
The signup deadline for Journey to Black Fire Pass is Friday, June 25th! |
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay | Published 24 June 2010 |
Hurry! The journey is about to begin!
This summer, Fantasy Flight Games would like to invite you to embark on a grim and perilous adventure for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. Old grudges emerge in the light of new discoveries surrounding the dark region of Black Fire Pass. A small company of dwarfs sets out from Karak Azgaraz to ensure the delivery of a powerful boon to the High King. But as they march into enemy territory, their journey will not be easy.
Journey to Black Fire Pass is an upcoming event for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay to be held at participating retailers across the country. Featuring an all-new introductory adventure, this event will introduce players to this revolutionary roleplaying system as well as provide a glimpse of things to go come for Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay.
If you are a retailer interested in hosting this event, fill out our online application before tomorrow (June 25th).
As an added incentive, participating retailers will have a chance to be featured on our website! Simply photograph your event and provide a brief write up about your experience, highlights, or a play session report. The top three submissions will be featured on our website and given a custom-made banner for their store, courtesy of Fantasy Flight Games!
For more information, check out the Journey to Black Fire Pass site.
Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay is a roleplaying game that sets unlikely heroes on the road to perilous adventure, in the grim setting of Games Workshop's Warhammer Fantasy world. Players will venture into the dark corners of the Empire, guided by luck and Fate, and challenge the threats that others cannot or will not face.
The 11 day "sign up" period is shockingly short. I suspect that many gaming stores are going to pass on this simply as it takes much longer for them to take note of the news, arrange the event and sign up.
You've yet to have a signup at the FFG:EC
i can't find anyone to host or play this event with in the Kansas City area - help!
at Bitter_Chivalry - You and all others from Europe. I don't know why but in Europe such events are not that big as FFG one and not so popular. Realy I don't know if the store are to afraid of taking part in them or what. So still I think that the best option for all fans would be - release this as a free .pdf for download on the WFRP site.
Hmmm ... would love to sign up but hey! I live in the birthplace of WFRP (y'know ... England!) so I guess I mis out on this one!
And I wish FFG would just released this as a free .pdf for download on the WFRP site.
My FLG Stores (not one but all four of them) won't take part in this event. Why? I dont know and I don't care but as a huge fan of WFRP and other FFG products I have a request. Please publish this as a free pdf as soon as possible. Becouse such fans like me won't get a chance to see "Journey to Black Fire Pass" or even play it. I think it would be better for all the player if this was not only a event but if it would be something like "Shiffting Shadows" and "A Day Late, A Shilling Short" in one. So it's would be a free pdf so everyone would have a chance to see it and play it in their homes.
Tom (ffgfan)
For what it's worth, I wish you guys would just have released this as a free .pdf or a $10.00 package with a color printed scenario and a couple sets of new career cards and let us GM's just run the game. Both game shops in my area were not interested in paying to run this event. All I got was the times are tough and I don't have extra money for this.
I, as a GM already own every WHFRP 3.0 product you have put out in printed and digital form. Let us the experienced GM's drive the product, we already have experience with the rules, we already have copies of the product. All we need is the scenario and then I approach the same game store owners and say " I want to run this <shows black fire pass scenario> this weekend, and all I need is a table. I think that would go over allot better.
Then we send in photo's of the event and a great write up of how it all went, with new player testimonials and the impressions from the game store owner. Now pick a few reports to highlight on your site, and send the game store a core box set for allowing and supporting the GM in running the event. As for me I am happy with keeping the scenario and new character cards and maybe bringing some new players into my existing play group.
Crazy idea huh, as a owner of 27 other FFG games (complete games mind you, every expansion to every base game that I own) I love this product. I just get fired up when I can't participate due to circumstances I can't control.

Laser detonator

The laser detonator is considered a "weapon" in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Lonesome Road.
The laser detonator is a detonator powered with microfusion breeder and using laser illumination to trigger the nuclear warheads found around the Divide. It fires a series of coded pulses of visible red laser-light similar to a laser designator and therefore dealing absolutely no damage to any organic creatures or robots. When the laser is aimed at a nuclear warhead, it causes it to heat up, eventually leading to the chemical explosive inside detonating, scattering radioactive material around.
It is similar in design and shape to the Compliance Regulator. It has a green coloration with red trim at the barrel, and a glowing yellow light next to the keypad and screen.
It fires a continuous beam similar to that of a laser rifle or pistol, except for the duration. It deals absolutely no damage and therefore is useless for anything but destroying nuclear warheads. This weapon is essential for unlocking Warhead Hunter challenge.
- Marked Men Camp, on the roof of the building next to where you can find a Red Glare.
- The Laser Detonator is the weakest weapon in game as it does not do any damage to targets.
- Given that this item has a very long effective range, one can stand a safe distance away when detonating a warhead, as they explode violently and may trigger several chain reaction explosions as a result.
- It requires no ammunition, as it uses a microfusion breeder.
- The laser detonator has the highest item HP of any weapon in Fallout: New Vegas.
- The screen and lights on the side are identical to the ones found on a Red Glare.
- The laser detonator is a quest item, so it cannot be dropped or sold.
- Because it is a laser, it can be used to ignite leaking gas or set off bear traps.
- Drawing this in casinos still nets the Courier infamy.
- Euclid's C-Finder, there may be some interaction between it and the laser detonator to the point where the laser detonator will not blow up the warhead. If this occurs, drop the C-Finder, blow up the warhead and pick up the C-Finder again.[verified] If you have
- Sometimes when you fire the laser detonator, the beam will disappear and the gun will still shake if you're firing it. It will not blow up warheads while doing this, and to fix it you only have to stop firing and fire it again. [verified]

Larabar bought by General Mills
Raw Food Right Now has a post up about the recent sale of Larabar to General Mills
In a press release from June 10th, 2008 it was announced that Denver based company LÄRABAR has been bought out by Minnesota based General Mills.
If you are not familiar with Larabar, it is a dehydrated raw food bar made from a base of dates and almonds and comes in a wide variety of flavors.
David and Katrina Rainoshek have started a conversation on GI2MR asking the community to discuss their thoughts.
I don't eat Larbars any more, only because my taste has changed a bit over the years, but my interactions and communications with the company have been great. I also respect what they've been up to so far. It's hard work building a successful business.
I have no opinions on the sale. But I do understand the communities concerns about "selling out". I'd just like to add that things are never that black and white.
I'm going to take a few of the best questions from the community and see if I can get the exec team from Larabar, preferably Lara herself, to write a guest post on We Like It Raw. I have a feeling she'd have some very interesting things to say.
Update: I also wanted to say, selling a business is a big deal and I want to congratulate Lara and her team on their success.

Pazzini Goal Against Genoa 8-3-2013 by thewolf6
AC Milan are on their way to victory against Genoa, leading 2-0 late in the second half. Mario Balotelli has scored again, but Giampaolo Pazzini's goal deserves its due. The striker injured his left leg moments before scoring and was eventually substituted for Balotelli, but he left his mark with this cracker from the edge of the box. Well done.

Gary Matalon
WITH the popular Fiction night club and Usain Bolt's Tracks and Records under its banner, the KLE Group is redefining entertainment.
As its CEO, Gary Matalon is driven to always raise the bar. "Being number one is where everybody wants to be. We're making an effort to change the game. You have to figure out what is going to make you unique and make sure whatever that is, it's relevant to the market you're going after." Financing and operational challenges haven't deterred them and Matalon believes in the product.
"The beauty for me in getting into an organisation from the beginning that is - you have control over what type of culture you want to introduce. That for me has been huge because I've always had in my mind that this is how I would want my organisation to be."
But before KLE, Matalon did construction, returning to Jamaica in 1992 after his immediate family moved to the United States during the '70s. He did not lose touch with Jamaica, spending holidays with his paternal grandparents. Grandfather Moses Matalon was a major influence.
"Growing up, it was always in my head that I would join my grandfather and work with him. He was like my idol; I tried to emulate him as much as possible." But around the time he left high school, Moses died and Gary, who admits he didn't like school, worked with the family business WIHCON, in various roles.
"None very elegant," he joked. But having no college degree was a "wake-up call" so he did tertiary studies, even earning a masters degree. After a brief stint at Redimix, he returned to WIHCON, assisting with various projects including Angels Estates. With experience came more duties leading to his own project, Old Harbour's The Aviary.
"I was very nervous but excited. I always had ideas that I wanted to implement and ways of approaching things differently, but because it was never my show, it was always difficult to get that through." Over time, along with former WIHCON executive Dayton Levy, Matalon started Neustone Limited, now a renowned international project-management firm. That kind of big thinking led him to join the KLE group, which recently added new board members and has numerous projects coming.
"We're not losing sight of the formula that got us to here," he assured.

Wisconsin Overtime Pay Laws - WI Labor Law - 2015
Overtime pay is additional pay granted to employees who have worked over a certain amount of hours in a given timeframe. Employers in Wisconsin must adhere to both federal and state overtime regulations defining how much overtime must be paid, and which employees are entitled to overtime pay.
Non-exempt employees in Wisconsin are entitled to overtime pay of 1.5 times their average hourly rate for every hour worked over 40 in a single week. Based on the Wisconsin minimum wage of $7.25 per hour, the minimum amount any Wisconsin worker should receive as overtime pay is $10.88 per hour.
Some employees are exempt from overtime, and therefore can be asked to work more then 40 hours a week without receiving overtime pay. Some overtime-exempt jobs are specified in federal overtime law, such as most white collar jobs, while other exemptions are specific to Wisconsin's state overtime laws.
Wisconsin exempts a variety of occupations from overtime pay completely, including the following:
- administrative, executive or professional employees;
- outside salespersons;
- commission employees of retail and service establishments;
- drivers, driver's helpers, loaders or mechanics covered by the Motor Carrier Act;
- employees of rail and air carriers;
- taxicab drivers;
- vehicle salespersons, and partspersons or mechanics servicing the vehicles;
- seasonal employees of recreational and amusement establishments;
- movie theater employees;
- commission-only real estate agents or salespersons;
- crop dusters;
- poultry inspectors;
- hospital employees;
- funeral home employees;
- drivers and drivers' helpers who make local deliveries;
- employees of independent contractors; and
- home newspaper delivery or direct retail sale.
Wisconsin Overtime Calculator
To calculate your weekly overtime pay, enter your normal hourly wage and the weekly number of hours you worked into the WI overtime calculator. Your overtime pay will then be calculated and displayed.
Unpaid Overtime in Wisconsin
If your employer has not paid you overtime and you believe you are entitled to overtime pay for the work you have done, there are steps you can take to ensure that you are paid what you deserve. First check Wisconsin state overtime law as well as federal overtime exemptions to ensure that your occupation is not exempt from overtime, and ask your employer directly why you were not paid.
If you are sure that you are entitled to overtime that has not been paid and are unable to work out an agreement with your employer directly, your next step is to contact the Wisconsin Department of Labor with an unpaid overtime claim form.

To Google what is the difference in these two pieces of code: link text link text <--difference is the slash.
What about this link to an internal page:
keyword phrase keyword phrase
From what I can tell page rank is definitely affected in the first example by using the slash.
In the second example, Google seems to count the second link as an inbound link to the page and not within the site.
Any ideas or thoughts. I hope I have explained myself well. If not, let me know and I'll try and explain better.
the first one will garner a 302 code pointing to the second one...
the first one doesn't carry any domain reference so it must reside within the current domain... the second, even though it is point to the same domain, appears to be outside the current domain context... the first one is also easier to maintain, FWTW...
For instance, if google spiders a site and the link to the domain with the slash is in there, would it be considered an incoming link because of the slash?
Same for the second case. If I am internally linking to a page and I want incoming link "credits", would the full URL help?
explain that in english please :)
i think he is asking whether he needs to use a "/" consistently or if the "/" really matters like the www.domian.com vs. domain.com.
> explain that in english please
A relative link is not going to invoke a 302 redirect. The user-agent will simply resolve it according to the HTTP rules. Either way, it ends up resolving to the canonical URI of the page.
 is a link to the default page in the root directory.  is a link to the domain. Basically the same thing.
 is an internal link to a page on your site.  is more like an external link to a page on your site.
As has been written, these are the same (unless you're already in /something/ in which case you'd need to prepend the / to the first of those).
Nope, those are the same too. [example.com...] is different from [example.com...] but [example.com...] is [example.com...] because there is no ambiguity.
www.domain.com domain.com www.domain.com/ www.domain.com/index.html
My memory's a bit fuzzy on this one, but my understanding is that Google tries to resolve and consolidate them into one, but once in a while it'll index them differently (I run into this every so often).
So in this case, I think the best advice is to keep them consistent throughout the site.
As to the relative vs absolute question, I've always believed in absolute. Even though it adds a bit of code to the page and makes it a bit heavier, I think the benefits outweight the cons.
relative vs. absolute: with absolute, if someone links to your page using either domain.com, www.domain.com, www.domain.com/index.html or www.domain.com/, all the pages that the index branches off to will fall in the same naming structure and will benefit regardless. I'm all for absolute (except the kind that comes in a bottle, yuck).
www.widget.com/ www.widget.com www.widget.com/index.html www.widget.com/index.htm www.widget.com/default.asp
I'm seeing more and more references inside Google search results to the absolute link. It seems to be a better way to "promote" incoming links to a page versus relative links to a page.
I.E. If I have 20 outside links to a page and 20 relative (inside the site) links to a page. I can't seem to validate wether this case equates to 40 incoming links to that page. On the other side if you have the same 20 outside links and 20 absolute links (within the site) to the same page, it looks like Google DOES count that as 40 incoming links to the page.
Any thoughts?

19 Hodgson to Evatt
Cablegram 10 PARIS, 9 July 1946
Invitations are being sent out today by French Government to the 17 nations [1], accompanied by memorandum on suggested organisation and procedure. While provision of rules of procedure was insisted on by Soviet delegate, it has now been agreed that the conference will be free to alter or amend the rules which will be presented.
2. Suggested organisation and procedure is as follows:
(a) Plenary conference of 21 nations to study and make recommendations on draft peace treaties for Italy, Balkan States and Finland. On substantive questions a two-thirds rule to apply.
On procedural questions simple majority suffices.
(b) General Commission of 21 composed of representatives from each delegation. This commission will act as a coordinating committee, with powers and duties still to be allotted. Two-thirds majority required to carry decisions.
(c) 5 Political Commissions, one for each of the enemy States of Finland, Italy, Bulgaria, Roumania and Hungary. There will be a delegate on each Commission from each member of the United Nations at war with the enemy state in question. Voting procedure is as follows: in general two-thirds rule will apply but minority has right to present its views to full conference. Where two-thirds majority is not attained reports of conflicting views will be submitted to full conference for decision. Final recommendations of Peace Conference must be voted by two-thirds majority.
(d) Two Economic Commissions, with duties still to be defined.
3. Australia being at war with each enemy State concerned is entitled to act on each Political Commission and presumably each of the two Economic Commissions. This will to some extent indicate the number of personnel required for the delegation.

found a new home!
Plenty of my friends are looking
for one too. Find a pet to adopt.
Find a pet to adopt |
My name is Zita!
Facts about Zita
- Breed: Chihuahua Mix
- Color: White - With Brown Or Chocolate
- Age: Puppy
- Size: Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
- Sex: Female
Zita's Info...
I am already spayed, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and good with cats.
Hi everyone, my name is Zita! If you are looking for the perfect mix of a sweet but playful puppy, then I am your girl! I am a lot smaller than I look in my pictures…my foster mom can fit me in her purse . If I could cuddle on my foster mom's lap all day, I would…that's the best place to curl up and get lots of pets, and it's easy access for giving kisses too! That being said, I am a very adventurous puppy when we go outside for walks and like to explore everything. And when I get in my playful mode, I love playing with my tennis ball (yes it can surprisingly fit in my mouth) and also "digging" myself a cozy spot in my blanket. I love meeting new people and I'm always ready to play and wag my tail when I meet another dog. I already know how to sit for a treat, and am working on my potty training too. I never make a mess in my crate and will sleep through the whole night! My foster mom says I am the sweetest puppy she has met and everyone that meets me says the same. I am wagging my tail just thinking about finding my forever family, and I hope I get to meet you soon!
My adoption fee is $450, which includes all vaccinations, alteration, and microchip! Please visit www.goodkarmamn.org to fill out an adoption application.
Once you fill out our adoption application, an awesome representative of Good Karma will contact you to answer any questions you may have and set up a time for you to meet your new pet! Good Karma Animal Rescue's approval process includes conducting a home visit before adopters take their new pet home.
Note on breed determination: Good Karma Animal Rescue of MN bases our breed determination on appearance, our own knowledge, and/or information from the sending shelters or previous owners. Because most of our adoptable dogs were previously in shelters, we can't be 100% sure of a dog's breed mix.
Other Pets at Good Karma Animal Rescue of MN
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Zita, a Maple Grove Chihuahua puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Chihuahua for sale in Maple Grove, or seeking a Chihuahua puppy from a breeder in Maple Grove.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Maple Grove already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Maple Grove breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Chihuahua breeders who help with Chihuahua rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Maple Grove paves the way for another one to be saved.

Despite its Bavarian lodge?style fa?ade, Prospect Tavern doesn't tie itself down to any one cultural cuisine. The kitchen team draws from all around the world to design its eclectic upscale pub menu. Signature dishes such as a slow-roasted prime rib and lobster macaroni and cheese share the spotlight with herbed steaks, fresh salads, and vegetarian sandwiches. Many of these come with their own suggested drink pairings, which can be chosen from more than 10 craft beers and a robust list international wines. Food and drink aren't the modern pub's only attractions: throughout the year, special events range from live acoustic music and social karaoke to model UN meetings.
Winner of the JerseyArts.com 2009 People's Choice Award for favorite Professional Theater, Paper Mill Playhouse has been opening the curtain on top-quality musical theater and plays since its debut in 1938. The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee, a Tony Award-winning musical comedy, follows the travails of a group of young students participating in their countywide spell off. With hilarious tunes and frequent fourth wall demolition, the musical expertly tickles audience funny femurs while filling their ears with the harmonious euphony of the Tony-nominated score. Groupon buyers will leave the theater with a Paper Mill Playhouse cup (a $5 value), allowing patrons of the arts to signal their theater affiliation to rival gangs of symphony and museum cup holders.
When Eugene Gillespie left Ireland to visit his brother in New York in 1972, he didn't know that he would be inspired to stay. The Irish economy was down, so Eugene decided to pursue the American dream by moving to the Mid-Atlantic region. He didn't leave Ireland entirely behind him though, and Eugene proceeded to spend the next several decades opening traditional Irish pubs and restaurants throughout New York and New Jersey.
With two locations, Blackthorn Restaurant & Irish Pub demonstrates a commitment to the flavors of Ireland. The menus feature familiar comfort foods—certified Angus burgers and thin-crust pizzas—including a number of Irish favorites, such as beer-battered fish and chips and stews filled with Guinness-braised beef. To achieve an even more authentic taste, the chefs occasionally import ingredients such as Irish cheddar cheese, Irish sausages, and Irish rainbows.
The menu's iconic dishes contribute to the pubs' cozy, inviting ambiance almost as much as accents such as the stone fireplaces or the bar made of imported red mahogany. Spirits remain lively and the mood stays festive thanks to the live entertainment hosted throughout the week. Live bands perform contemporary hits as well as traditional Irish songs.
"Keep it simple." At Pure Parsippany, that isn't just sage advice?it's a philosophy. As the restaurant's name might suggest, the approach to food here isn't a complicated, muddled process; instead, it's built upon fresh ingredients and unaltered flavors.
Executive chef Michael Schmitt captains the kitchen, where he and his team craft a menu of upscale American- and Asian-inspired cuisine. Their spread includes familiar favorites such as filet mignon, pan-roasted pork chops, and miso-glased Chilean sea bass in addition to an ample selection of sushi rolls. Visitors dig into these hearty entrees in Pure's elegant, spacious dining room, where gold chandeliers shine light across cream-colored booths and chairs, dark hardwood floors, and exposed brick facades. At one end of the restaurant, bartenders mix more than a dozen signature cocktails at a large, square-shaped bar for guests to enjoy as a nightcap or a resting place for the loose olive skewers in their pockets.
They say you can't be all things to all people, but that apparently hasn't stopped Red Stone Tavern from trying. For starters, there's the decor: an aesthetic compromise that incorporates rustic building materials with a sleekness that feels decidedly modern. A walk through the restaurant reveals an expansive dining room with high ceilings and plenty of space, but it's partitioned in such a way as to make every meal an intimate experience.
Above all, however, people from all corners of Jersey flock to Red Stone Tavern for the food. Equal parts upscale and casual, the menu features hearty dishes of pasta and seafood alongside handmade pizzas topped with arugula, pesto, and balsamic glaze. Despite all this diversity, many guests stick to the grilled offerings. It's hard to blame them, as the choices include a 12-ounce sirloin steak, a zesty lime chicken breast, and a rack of St. Louis ribs signed by the chef in tangy barbecue sauce.
The rich scent of real hickory, apple, cherry, and oak wood drifts from low smoldering fires, infusing the racks of meat above with flavor in a Southern Pride smoker. Drawing inspiration from all over the south, SuzyQue?s BBQ & Bar?s cooks apply spicy dry rubs to every ounce of meat before slow-smoking them, then diners can either enjoy it au-natural or slather plates with one of their signature sauces. Their sauces are inspired by recipes from Texas, North Carolina, and St. Louis and built upon a Vinegar, Tomato, or Molasses base. They also whip up an Orange Habanero sauce full of peppery spice.
The resulting mountains of melt-off-the-bone ribs, smoked wings, sausage, and brisket come to table alongside fine dining entrees, including rib-eye steak, fried chicken, and grilled salmon. Eight on-tap and 18 bottled beers lodge at the full bar, along with glasses of craft cocktails and wine, preparing palates for dessert and punctuating the sound of live bands, comedians, and poker games.

We have a tank in the guild who is just a tad below early teens and he regularly main / off tanks our non-progression raids (and could manage progression raids if he was allowed to stay up that late!). The average age of our guild is probably 3 times his, yet he fits right in because it's a family friendly guild and he takes a mature approach to being online.
Just to let you know that there are places out there where you can slot right in without worrying about age - I hope your current guild is already one of those.

While fire has the more interesting rotation and aoe potential, I've found I can get more reliably get decent dps with arcane. I guess it's because I don't need to work has hard: why try to line up 3-4 cooldowns and procs when I can get the same results with one finger :-)
Can someone confirm that fire gets better once crit values increase in heroic gear? If arcane and fire both move up in parallel, then I must be doing something wrong.

Breakfast Topic: I love {WoW}
Sep 14th 2009 10:17AM Silly and sad as it sounds, I love sitting on top of the Orgrimmar bank late on a weekend evening (about 2am). There's still a few people around, but it's mostly quiet now, and there is a real sense of rugged peace with that place that you don't get in other cities like Silvermoon or Undercity. It feels very much what I imagine an African plains summer evening would be like.
A similar if less relaxed feeling can be had by sitting next to a camp fire somewhere up the big mountain near Crossroads. It's not just the feeling of peace, it's more a feeling of something wild and untamed relaxing for a moment and, by proxy, allowing you a moments relaxation too.
The fact that I can actually get that contented, relaxed feeling just sitting doing nothing in a computer game amazes me, and finds me logging on at way past my bedtime, over and over again.
