Not sure where to ask about this. I was digging in a long-neglected bed at the edge of my property, and discovered a hole, 3-4 feet deep, and 2 feet across, lined by a rusted corrugated steel pipe. Empty inside, with gravel at the bottom. Had been covered by a layer of topsoil and clay about 3 inches thick. Only reason no one had ever fallen into it was because no one ever has reason to step there.
House was built in 1951, I suspect this structure dates to then or before. I would have guessed it was meant to be some sort of dry well, but can't for the life of me understand why it would have been left empty, instead of filled with stone/gravel. I don't see any sort of opening into the sides, but they are rusted pretty well. Not sure how the topsoil and clay got on top of it, since it's too wide to support anything like that. Possibly it was once covered by wood or metal that decayed. Does this sound familiar to anyone here? Would everyone else fill it in? Guess I'm uncertain, since I don't know what it was for. |

Grasping at straws here. But was there a structure of some type on the property razed before your house was built - like a house and freestanding garage? Only reason is that I have one of those in the middle of my garage - to drain off the snow clods that collect in the car's wheel wells and tire treads. Kind of a drain to nowhere seemingly unless originally hooked into storm water runoff pipes when it was initially installed. (Now it's been retrofitted to drain into a gravel filled planter behind the garage.) Mine sounds like what you're describing - same width and depth with gravel at the bottom and covered over with an official looking manhole cover. |

Losses For All The Affiliates
The Pirates and all four of their minor league affiliates lost in Sunday's play:
Hickory Crawdads 4, West Virginia Power 3
Jameson Taillon pitched well in his 5-inning start this afternoon. He surrendered one run on two hits, with no walks, and he struck out 4 batters. Taillon zipped through the first two innings, retiring the Crawdads in order. He gave up the only run in the 3rd inning, when the first Hickory batter of the inning homered. Taillon set down the next three batters, then gave up a ground-rule double to the first batter in the 4th. He retired three more batters in the 4th, then pitched a 1-2-3 inning in the 5th. Taillon was on the short end, 1-0 when he left the game.
The Power put one runner on base in each of the first three innings — singles by CF Mel Rojas in the 1st and 3rd, and C Elias Diaz in the 2nd. Each time they were left on base. 2B/CF Andy Vasquez got as far as third base in the 5th inning, with a single, a stolen base, and a throwing error, but he too was left stranded.
Victor Black pitched a scoreless inning for the Power in the 6th, taking over for Taillon. It was only his second appearance this season, and his second scoreless and hitless inning.
Casey Sadler came on to pitch the 7th. He walked the first batter he faced, then got two outs. A single and a hit batter loaded the bases for Hickory. A ground-rule double brought in two runs, to give Hickory a 3-0 lead. The Power tied the score in the bottom of the frame. RF Justin Howard started the rally with a single up the middle. C Kawika Emsley-Pai walked, and a wild pitch moved both runners into scoring position. Diaz lined a single in to right field, scoring both Howard and Emsley-Pai. 3B Eric Avila singled on a liner into left field, then a bunt by Vasquez again moved two runners into scoring position. SS Drew Maggi singled, driving in Diaz from third base. The rally ended when Avila was caught trying to steal home and Rojas struck out.
The tie did not last long. Sadler struck out the first two batters in the top of the 8th, then gave up a walk and a double, which brought the lead runner racing around from first to score, to give Hickory a 4-3 lead. Jason Townsend pitched the top of the 9th, giving up two singles, but no runs. RF Dan Grovatt led off the bottom of the 8th with a single, but he was the only Power batter to reach base in the final two innings.
Homers For Fryer, Durham, Latimore, Baker, And Anderson
Saturday evening with the Pirates' lower minor league affiliates:
Altoona Curve 8, Binghamton Mets 6
First, the Curve and the Mets had to finish up yesterday's game, which had been suspended in the 7th inning, with the score tied at 6-6. Binghamton had scored 4 runs in the 1st, and one run in both the 4th and 5th. The Curve had tied the score with 3 runs in each of the 5th and 6th innings. The big hit in the 5th was CF Starling Marte's triple, and the big hit in the 6th was pinch-hitter Eric Fryer's triple. Curve starter Aaron Thompson had allowed all 6 Binghamton hits on 9 hits, no walks, with 4 strikeouts in his 5 innings of work. Tim Alderson came on to pitch in the bottom of the 6th, and allowed a hit but maintained the tie.
The top of the 7th began with a single by LF Quincy Latimore, who was replaced at first base by SS Jordy Mercer on a grounder force out at second. Mercer stole second base, then took third on a wild pitch. 3B Jeremy Farrell walked to put runners on the corners, and that's when the game was suspended. When they picked it up again this afternoon with a new relief pitcher, two quick outs left Mercer and Farrell still standing on the corners.
Anthony Claggett came on in relief of Alderson, and in a double switch, Shelby Ford took over at first base for Miles Durham. Claggett kept the Mets from scoring in the bottom of the 7th. Then Ford gave the Curve the lead with a solo homer in the top of the 8th. The Curve added an insurance run in the top of the 9th, when Mercer and Farrell led off with a pair of singles. Pinch-hitter Kris Watts moved both runners into scoring position with a ground out, then RF Brad Chalk lined a single into left field. Mercer scored easily on the play, but Farrell was out at the plate on the throw in from left field.
Claggett held on to the lead with a scoreless bottom of the 8th, allowing just one hit. He was credited with his third win of the season. Noah Krol earned his 10th Save of the season with a scoreless 9th. He walked the first batter of the inning, then retired the next three batters with two fly outs and a pop out.
Power Go Long; Curve Cut Short
Friday evening's action with the Pirates' lower minor league affiliates:
Altoona Curve 6, Binghamton Mets 6
Rain halted the game between the Curve and the Mets in Binghamton, NY in the top of the 7th inning, with the score tied at 6-6. Starter Aaron Thompson got into trouble early in the game, when he gave up 4 runs to the B-Mets in the bottom of the 1st. A single and a hit batter led off the inning, then two fly outs and a wild pitch moved both runners into scoring position. Three singles brought in a run each, and a double added the 4th run of the inning. Thompson gave up a hit in each of the next two innings, but erased one with a double play, and left the other stranded. A solo homer in the bottom of the 4th gave the Mets a 5-0 lead, then a single, a double, and a sacrifice fly gave the Mets their 6th run in the 5th.
The Curve put one runner on base in each of the first four innings, but none of those runners came around to score. 2B Brock Holt walked in the 1st, but was out in a double play. C Tony Sanchez singled in the 2nd and moved to second base on a wild pitch. Holt smacked a ground-rule double in the 3rd, and SS Jordy Mercer walked and got as far as third base in the 4th.
1B Miles Durham got the Curve going with a rally in the top of the 5th, when he was hit by a pitch. Thompson tried for a sacrifice fly, but it turned into a forcer out of Durham at second base, leaving Thompson on first. Holt singled, then CF Starling Marte tripled into right field, scoring both Thompson and Holt. LF Quincy Latimore singled into left field, bringing in Marte, to cut the B-Mets' lead to 5-3.
The Mets made it 6-3 in the bottom of the 5th, but the Curve came right back with another 3 runs in the top of the 6th to tie the game. A fielding error at shortstop put 3B Jeremy Farrell on base, and Sanchez's double let Farrell came around to score from first base. RF Brad Chalk walked, then pinch-hitter Eric Fryer drove in base runners with the second triple of the game.
Tim Alderson came on to pitch the bottom of the 6th, and he worked around a single, to maintain the tie. The top of the 7th began with a single by Latimore, and a grounder force out by Mercer, leaving Mercer on first base. Mercer stole second and then moved to third base on a wild pitch. Farrell walked, to give the Curve runners on the corners — and that's when the storms halted the game.
The game will resume on Saturday prior to the regularly scheduled game. This game will finish as a 9-inning game, but the regularly scheduled game will probably be a 7-inning game.
Curve Have A Hit-Happy Morning; Cumpton Strikes Out 8
The Indianapolis Indians have a scheduled day off on Wednesday, and the Curve played a morning game. The Marauders and the Power play in the evening.
Altoona Curve 7, Bowie Baysox 1
After allowing a run in the top of the 1st, the Curve pitchers held Bowie scoreless for the rest of this morning's game. The Curve posted a total of 14 hits, double the number they allowed the Baysox, and every hitter in the Curve lineup but one had at least one hit.
Starter Mike Colla began the game by giving up a double into center field to the Bowie lead-off hitter. A ground out moved the runner to third, and a sacrifice fly brought him in with the first run of the game. The Curve managed only a single by CF Starling Marte in the bottom of the 1st, but they got things going in the bottom of the 2nd. 3B Jeremy Farrell and C Eric Fryer led off with back-to-back singles. DH Kris Watts dropped down a bunt, but a quick move by the Bowie catcher forced out Farrell at third and left Fryer on second and Watts on first. After a pop out by 1B Miles Durham, RF Brad Chalk lined a single into right field, scoring Fryer. Watts advanced to third base and Chalk moved up to second base on the throw. 2B Brock Holt brought in both Watts and Chalk with a triple into right field, giving the Curve a 3-1 lead.
Four consecutive singles began the bottom of the 3rd for the Curve. LF Quincy Latimore, SS Jordy Mercer, Farrell, and Fryer all singled, adding 2 more runs as Latimore and Mercer scored. A ground out by Watts moved both Farrell and Fryer into scoring position, and after another out, Chalk singled to first base, plating Farrell and chasing the Bowie starter to the showers. The Curve had a 6-1 lead.
Colla worked around at least one runner on base in each of his 5 innings. The biggest threat he faced after the 1st inning came in the 4th, when he gave up a ground-rule double and a single, to put runners on the corners with one out. Colla got out of the jam by striking out the next two batters to end the inning. Colla pitched 5 innings, throwing 76 pitches (53 strikes). He gave up the one run on 5 hits and a walk, while striking out 4 batters, to earn his 3rd win of the season. Tim Alderson took over for Colla for the 6th inning. Alderson pitched a scoreless inning, allowing one hit. Bryan Morris came on for the last 3 innings. He earned his first save with 3 scoreless innings, allowing only a walk and a single in the 8th.
The Curve added their final run in the 7th. Marte led off with a double, moved to third on Latimore's ground out, then scored on Mercer's sacrifice fly. Marte, Holt, Farrell, and Chalk each had 2 hits in the game, and Fryer went 3-for-4.
The Curve play another morning game on Thursday.
Marauders Bombard Tigers; Curve Fall In The 9th
The West Virginia Power have a scheduled day off on Tuesday…
Bradenton Marauders 9, Lakeland Flying Tigers 0
The Marauders broke a 7-game losing streak by bombarding the Flying Tigers in Lakeland. Bradenton posted 12 hits, led by DH Calvin Anderson, who went 4-for-5 in the game, and missed hitting for the cycle by leaving out the triple. 2B Jarek Cunningham also doubled and homered, while 1B Aaron Baker contributed 2 hits.
The game began with the Marauders blasting off for 5 runs in the top of the 1st. They batted around, beginning with a single by RF Robbie Grossman, a walk to C Ramon Cabrera, and a single by Baker to score Grossman. 3B Elevys Gonzalez doubled to bring in both Cabrera and Baker. Elevys Gonzalez scored on Anderson's double, and Anderson scored on LF Adalberto Santos' RBI single.
The hits and runs kept coming for the Marauders. They did not score in the 2nd inning, though Cunningham doubled. He was out when Cabrera lined out to the Tigers' shortstop, who stepped on the second base bag to double off Cunningham. Baker led off the 3rd with a ground-rule double. He moved to third on a fly out, then scored on Anderson's RBI single. Cunningham added 2 more runs in the 4th with a 2-run homer after Grossman had walked. Anderson's solo homer came in the 5th, and by then the Marauders were leading 9-0.
Brett Lorin was the recpient of all that run support, earning his second win of the season. He pitched 6 shutout innings and struck out 6 batters, while scattering just 2 hits, a walk, and a hit batter. Both the hit batter and the walk came in the 2nd inning, but Lorin got a fly out to end the inning. Lorin allowed a single in the 5th and a double in the 6th.
The Marauders went down in order for the first time in the 6th. They loaded the bases in the 7th on a walk to Baker, and singles by CF Evan Chambers and Anderson, but a strikeout and a ground out ended the inning with the bases loaded. Grossman was the only Bradenton batter to reach base in the final two innings, when he walked in the 8th.
Eliecer Navarro relieved Lorin to begin the 7th inning. He retired the side in the 7th, and worked around a runner who had reached base on his own missed catch error (on a grounder towards first base) in the 8th. Navarro also retired the first two batters in the bottom of the 9th. Jason Erickson finished the game by grounding out the only batter he faced.

American lecturer and poet Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "Skepticism is slow suicide." Yet, German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said, "Great intellects are skeptical."
Personally, I'm a bit skeptical of both statements because in some sense they may both be true. But viewed in another context they may not apply at all.
For example, a certain amount of skepticism might save one's life when it comes to trusting strangers or accepting radical ideas. But to insist on being skeptical in a loving relationship may reflect insecurity, not great intellect. It all depends on the circumstances.
Their insights, however, made me wonder if we can choose to believe whatever we want about anything?
In his book, "The Will to Believe," Dr. Marcus Bach said, "The most important and most unnoticed quality in the world is the will to believe. It plays a part every time we drop a letter in a postal box or board a plane or do the thousand-and-one routine things that make up our modern life. From the money we bank to the money we borrow, from our hope for a better future to the conviction that yesterday was not without meaning, from accepting the universe to rejecting a weather report, we live in a world built on faith."
Perhaps you have found this to be true? Then again it may still depend on the circumstances. For example, choosing not to believe in gravity could be fatal. Choosing to believe you are invisible would be foolish. But to believe in the general goodness of others is a matter of choice, and what we choose to believe will have an impact on our relationship with others.
Believing that the earth is round is a choice. Did you know there is a Flat Earth Society that promotes the idea that the earth is flat? Personally, I believe it is round. While I have never been in outer space to observe the earth's shape, I do accept the images I have seen of our planet and the history lessons of Columbus and Magellan. It also seems logical that since the sun and the moon are round, the earth probably is as well.
More importantly, I accept the Bible as the inspired Word of God. At Isaiah 40:22 it spoke of "the circle of the earth." — King James Version. I also accept the existence of atoms as defined by scientists and Einstein's Theory of Relativity, although these accepted beliefs may be modified over time.
But personally, I choose not to accept the theory of evolution. I choose to disregard it as a theory that runs contrary to the truths found in the Word of God. Think about it. If humans evolved from apes then man was never created sinless and in the image of God. If there was no original sin as Romans 5:12 says, then humans never fell from grace and Jesus Christ never died for our sins because there was never any need. That means no Christ, no hope of a resurrection, no reward of eternal life. I reject that hypothesis.
I believe life comes from life and all life comes from God. Scientist have yet to prove otherwise. As Hebrews 3:4 says, "Of course, every house is constructed by someone, but he that constructed all things is God." — New World Translation. Others choose not to believe this. That is their right. Those who choose to believe in evolution are not convinced by the proof offered by scientists who support intelligent design or creation. Those who choose to believe in creation are not convinced by the proof offered by scientists who promote evolution as a fact. Why? Because both groups are exercising their "will to believe." They picked a side and are skeptical of any other persuasion.
In spiritual matters one must also choose what to believe, for there are many faiths teaching vastly different things. Most people were born into their "faith" and exercise a "will to believe" without ever examining its teachings. But to take the time to weigh the evidence, reason on the Scriptures and humbly ask for Divine guidance, a person can come to know the truth that sets them free. In this case, a little skepticism may have been helpful. But once you have made the truth your own — that search is over. Why invest time reading material that will tear down your faith and make you skeptical?
Regarding such matters, God's Word advised Christians at 1Timothy 1:4, "They should not listen to stories that are not true. These only bring more questions to their minds and do not make their faith in God any stronger." — New Life Version.
The Contemporary English Version reads, "You needed to warn them to stop wasting their time on senseless stories and endless lists of ancestors. Such things only cause arguments. They don't help anyone to do God's work that can only be done by faith."
Believing in something in the absence of proof is not faith, but credulity. Skepticism in the face of proof is not a sign of intelligence, but paranoia. Both can be self-destructive. But so is being indecisive. At some point in life everyone must choose to believe in some things and decide how much time they will devote looking into others.
Can you choose to believe in everything? You can try. Most people, however, cannot invest time in every notion that comes along. They choose what they will believe in and then read material that supports their belief system. That is a fact of life. That is the way of life.
At a certain point, skepticism and faith end up traveling in different circles. They must. Many see this as the mark of great intellect. I choose to believe that what we choose to believe will decide who we are, how we live and maybe even how long we get to live.

Welcome to Northstar Dental

You hear it from your dentist every time you get a checkup: Flossing is a crucial part of daily dental care. Consistent flossing benefits not only your teeth but your overall health as well.
Removes Plaque
Plaque is a soft, bacteria-laden film that forms naturally on your teeth. Left alone, plaque can harden into tartar, which can only be removed by a dentist. The longer plaque and tartar stay on tooth surfaces, the greater your risk for periodontal diseases such as gingivitis. Bacteria in tartar and plaque attack the gums and the enamel of your teeth, leading to inflammation, decay and even tooth loss. Removing plaque before it has the chance to become tartar brightens up your teeth, making for a whiter smile without commercial whitening agents.
Gets Rid of Bacteria
Even if you brush twice a day, every day, you're not reaching every surface that needs cleaning. The bristles on your toothbrush can't get into the tight...

Disgusting. Outrageous. Disgraceful.
Choose whichever word you'd like to describe the depths to which some Queens political activists have sunk in two of the borough's most important primaries, in which voters cast ballots today, Sept. 13. They all work.
On the Republican side, the campaign of Forest Hills attorney Juan Reyes, the party leaders' choice, has stooped as low as it can in attacking his opponent in the 15th Senate District, City Councilman Eric Ulrich of Ozone Park.
Last week the Reyes team called Ulrich a Communist, even mailing out a fake photo of him wearing Soviet-style medals like Stalin reviewing a Red Army parade.
This week it reached even lower, claiming in large type on a flier that Ulrich "goes both ways." The fine print says the loaded phrase refers to Ulrich's alleged flip-flopping on issues such as gay marriage, but everyone knows what going both ways really means. The mailing blasts Ulrich for all kinds of gay-friendly things, even for having dinner with a married gay couple — Sunnyside Councilman Jimmy Van Bramer and environmental activist Dan Hendrick.
So Republicans can't even associate with gay colleagues? In New York City. In 2012. Are you kidding? Reyes also criticized Ulrich for hiring a gay staffer, raising two questions: Is the councilman supposed to ask applicants their sexual orientation? That would be illegal. Is he supposed to fire anyone he discovers is gay? That would prompt a lawsuit bringing such a huge payout that the $103,000 the Assembly paid to the women who accused Vito Lopez of sexual harassment would be a drop in the bucket by comparison.
He also takes Ulrich to task for allegedly mocking former Sen. Bob Dole, who endorsed Reyes, because the councilman tweeted a joke this newspaper made about Dole's last known endorsement having been for Viagra. But we never impugned Dole's service to the country, in World War II or as a senator, as Reyes claims. And guess who else has made jokes about Bob Dole's Viagra ads? Bob Dole.
Reyes is doubtlessly making such desperate moves because he knows Ulrich is going to beat him badly. His mailings show him to be morally bankrupt, something voters should remember if he ever runs for another office.
The Ulrich-Reyes contest isn't the only primary that's been dragged into the gutter. Equally disgusting is the flier distributed by a supporter of state Sen. Shirley Huntley of Jamaica — yes, the one facing two felony charges. Written by a black man for a black audience, it claims that the indictment of Huntley, who, like her two opponents, is black, is a "political lynching" aimed at affecting the vote.
If there's one thing more insulting in politics than one Republican calling another one a gay Communist, it's one black Democrat saying another one is benefiting from a lynch mob. The Rochdale Village official who wrote this in the housing complex's newsletter should be ashamed. Of course, he probably did it because Huntley has secured $55,000 in grants for Rochdale's social service organization in recent years. And the Huntley campaign should also be ashamed because it refuses to disavow the newsletter.
Before any of these fliers were issued, the Chronicle had endorsed Sanders and Ulrich in their respective primaries. These tactics only deepen our belief in those endorsements.
As to the people who prepared and authorized these fliers, you're the lowest of the low. Just think about the pain you've caused in the pursuit of power. You have nothing to be proud of, not in the realm of politics and not in the sphere of humanity. Crawl back under the rocks from which you came and never trouble the good people of Queens again. They're smarter, and better, than you.

So, my question is, if it's not a public school (which I personally do not feel that it is) does it meet the requirements for a private school, or a small charter school? Does it meet the requirements for a small business? More details please KOMO. From the experience that I have having dealt with ADA laws (which is admittedly not much, but more than most) I can see how no matter what they may need the ramps to be compliant. I expect that everything else passes.
I would also expect that the final word on the matter should be on their business license. How is the city/county/state define them on their business license?
I was a student at the SDS for years. I took guitar lessons just on the other side of the performance space Steve was interviewed in, as well as in that very room for vocal coaching. I performed on that stage numerous times and worked the door for the 2 weekly shows put on at night in the L.A.B. In my time there, I felt like I had become one with a community, a family of like-minded individuals who have a creative drive and love for music, something I've found to be shockingly rare amongst the general populous. The idea of this institution of music and knowledge and experience being shut down puts me right at the edge. The community needs a school like this, where the teachers want nothing but to excel students in musical education and experience to prepare them for whatever path they might choose in music. Do NOT shut down the Seattle Drum School!
It's not a public school but it has to follow the same standards as a public school? Are you kidding me? This is BS at its Seattle finest!
This is a PERFECT situation for Kickstarter. Â He would raise money in no time/
I'm curious though... Â why doesn't he just move into a building that does satisfy the City Nazis"
Yeah, this kinda stinks... However, I wonder what the comments section would be saying if the news story instead was "several killed in tragic fire at local iconic drum school." Would we see comments like, "How was this deathtrap ever allowed to operate?!" and "Another example of public servants not doing their jobs?" Possibly. Something to think about.
That's our government in a nut shell. No wonder small businesses can't make it. If there isn't a problem the government will find one. This is not a public school and should not be put in the same catagory. Our kids need music in their lives and if the schools can no longer provide it then they shouldn't object to private lessons. Leave the man alone!
Its because someone wants to take over the music lesson game. Â Somewhere, somebody wants to shut them down to take over that stream of income.
Seattle needs to re-think it's position on this. Whatever the school is compelled to do, the city ought to work with Seattle Drum School in ways acknowledging the role this small business keeps in the community and tries to make better. Seattle's teenagers dearly need to focus their energy, such as at the music school, in healthy productive ways. Likewise, the loss of jobs available for working professional musicians, along with the financial security for themselves and their families, would be immeasurable terrible.Â
Is it the name "SCHOOL" that draws you into the controversy surrounding these new code enforcement requirements? If so,would a name change alter the very way in which they handled your individual business,when it comes to code enforcement? After all it is a private business,and should not be held to the standards of a much larger system that has advocates in government,lobbyists and even celebrities and products endorsing public/private educations(Schools)... By that same token You might consider taking it to the next level of accomplishment within your industry as well, and expand outside of your location,to promote an even greater enrollment number for the greater good of your business and the percussion training and development industry overall... Do you see anyone possibly drafting a grant or small business loan application for you? To insure the business has a future in the region... Cause I buy T-shirts there,and I'd hate to see you guys go,unless it was to someplace much better suited to your needs,and befitting of the requirements that you're expected to meet,and also not far from that location...
Thank you KOMO, for covering this story. The Drum School is absolutely a local treasure!
@DJ AllynI imagine the relocation costs would likely be too expensive. You have to move assets, update directories and apply for permits for the new location as well as sign new leases that may be considerably more and pay deposits to get a lot of this done. I'm guessing this is a prime location for something else the City is interested in seeing there, otherwise they wouldn't be going out of their way, would they?Â

Thoughts for Thrifting
By Cindy Hamlin, Special to the Citizen 10/27/11
• Don't be afraid of the seedy! Most of the best thrift stores are in the less than ideal parts of town. Thrift stores are dirty and you will have to dig, but isn't a bargain worth digging for? • Make nice with the owner/manager! Tell them what you are looking for and they may know where it is or will keep an eye out for you. • Thrift stores need bags for the customer's purchases. Your home is likely filled with them, both paper and plastic, so make nice and curry some favor! • If there is a quantity of an item, but they are priced individually, ask if they can give you a price if you take all of them. Be prepared to take them (or not) depending on the price. If you ask for a better price on an item (not all do this) be prepared to pay it. The owners get really peeved if you ask continually and never buy it. • Most thrift stores have a discount schedule (colored dots/tags, sections that are over stocked with items, etc). This is usually posted or announced when you arrive, so look for it or ask. It may make the difference in buying it or leaving it there. • Think of other uses for your purchases. The shirt with a spot can be fabric for a bag; a wool sweater can be felted. A shirt missing buttons can have a new funkier set. A single earring can become a pendant on a necklace or the center for a brooch. No item is a lost cause unless it is disgusting! • Craig's List is a good place to check for shops.

Mar 15, 2011Been playing since release, what can i say...i havnt slept...its pretty awesome, best total was since medieval 2! Looks amazing even tho theres no dx11 untill they patch it, then it'll be a 11/10!
Mar 15, 2011Totally immense. Been waiting for this ages for ages, at last it is here and I just can't put it down! The graphics are sensational, out of this world! The siege battles were just amazing, probably the best bit of the whole game! I literally cannot put it down, I don't think I will be leaving the house for the next few weeks!
Mar 15, 2011
Mar 15, 2011
Mar 15, 2011Wow, I mean, they almost lost me with Empire, Pulled me slowly back N:tw, and now this...Ca, you have restored my faith. Well played, The Multiplayer especially really sets me going, so much new stuff to do!
Mar 15, 2011Love this game!!! Been waiting for this to be remade it seems like my whole life! The seige battles are well thought out and executed. Wahoo for Shogun 2!
Mar 15, 2011It's out and the question is did The Creative Assembly pull it out the bag or flop. There's been a lot of negativity around Total War recently and everyoneâ
Mar 15, 2011A leaner, meaner return to the game that started it all. Shogun 2: Total War pulls out all the stops and stands out as the most refined Total Wars to date. An excellent achievement and a fine addition to the franchise which I will gladly dedicate hundreds of hours of my valuable life to. The Creative Assembly have done it again, well done guys.
Mar 15, 2011This game was awsum!! I loved it so much really good graphics!!! Been playing since release!! Its so amazing!!!! brilliant multiplayer seriously awsum! Have had a blast playing it, only have pulled myself away to write this review!!!!
Mar 24, 2011
Mar 18, 2011
Mar 15, 2011A really polished experience! The best Total War I have played! The graphics are amazing and the attention to detail is astounding. There are so many features in this game it's mind boggling.
Mar 15, 2011So good. Trimmed off all the fat, streamlined it, brilliant multiplayer that I'll play for hours and hours and it all looks incredible. The Creative Assembly are BACK.
Mar 15, 2011This review contains spoilers, click expand to view.
Mar 18, 2011GOTY 2011 for strategy of the year 2011. Advanced land and naval battles. Markedly better AI on a map and on battlefield. Good avatar and inovative multiplayer. 10/10!

Mar 18, 2011Probably the best strategy game in last several years, its just amazing, combat is great, art is amazing, music is fantastic, multiplayer is good, i dunno what else to add,except its worth money :)
Mar 17, 2011Excellent addition to an excellent series (well, Empire had some major hiccups upon release). Everything is improved, from the a.i. to the campaign map. The game is simply more fine tuned. The lack of AA may be a little irksome to some, but the game itself more than makes up for it.
Mar 16, 2011
Mar 16, 2011Everybody's already said it all: I am blown away. I started my first campaign on VH and quickly found myself outmaneuvered and over-run. Never in a total war game have I ever felt "in danger" of losing my starting provence. CA has redeemed itself without question.
Mar 17, 2011
Mar 16, 2011New Features such as agent/ninja cutscene. High graphics. runs smoothly on intel CORE. no bugs. the units speaks japanese. the sound changes during battles which is awesome!!
Mar 16, 2011I have played every single total war game since the original Shogun: Total War. That being said, this game is easily one of the best ever. It brings back the best parts of Empire while removing the worst all the while bringing a welcomed stylized edge to the game. All in all Total War does it again and makes me realize why I have always played their games over the Civ games.
Mar 17, 2011
Mar 17, 2011
Mar 17, 2011An excellent game. Have played most of the previous total war games, however Empire and Napoleon where not to liking game mechanics wise - this game is more a kin to the earlier total war installments. Particular highlight of this game would include the multiplayer experience as this is pretty well thought out. I honestly can't fault much, if anything, with this game.
Mar 17, 2011
Mar 17, 2011
Apr 28, 2011A brilliant game. Innovative. Always leaving us stunned.
2 Shogun: Total War deserves a standing ovation on its graphics, gameplay, technical capacity and playable and interesting itinerary grudante. But not yet overcome the almost perfect game from Blizzard. The interesting game: 9 / 10 -
Mar 26, 2011
Mar 16, 2011
Mar 18, 2011Total War: Shogun 2 improves upon everything which was good before, as well as significantly improving some things which let previous Total Wars down, such as dumb AI. They have gone into amazing detail in regards to the history and encylopedia, much more than is necessary, which is not a bad thing.

Mar 16, 2011Wow, this game drips quality and playing is a pure pleasure. Improved battle AI means battles stay exciting and dramatic. I think the mis-steps of Empire have pushed this game to be the great accomplishment that it is.

Apr 7, 2011A stunning gaming achievement. The depth! the depth of it! I salute you for making this. You all deserve to be millionaires. I land an army via sea - in the centre of Japan, I make alliances with Date in the East and together we destroy central and western Japan - then realm divide! No need to worry, my ally has got my back and I have just taken the Shogunate. GENIUS!
Mar 22, 2011I've been following the Total War series since TW: Rome. I have to say Shogun 2 is probably the best TW series of the bunch. Playing on Normal, individual battles are generally not a challenge for the experienced player (most battles end with a heroic victory) but still, you can tell that the battlefield AI is much improved over previous releases. The campaign AI is a lot better too.

Mar 25, 2011According to tradition in the modern gaming industry, the game went unfinished. Global work on multiplayer, interesting game mechanics, great atmosphere, almost historical accuracy and bugs, bugs, bugs, which, however, do not interfere with enjoyment of the gameplay.
and yes, the game is a little loose powder! Personally, I'm a horror as happy. -
Mar 20, 2011The latest game in the Total War series. Back to the roots were Creative Assembly started. Back to the bloodiest era in Japans history. Do you have what it takes to be the new Shogun and rule Japan.
Beautiful graphics soon to support DX10.1 and DX11 and with upgraded AI that will give you a real challenge and numerous headaches.
Watch Samurai's and ninja's fight in epic battles! -

Mar 21, 2011
Mar 21, 2011Marvelous game. Love the new RPG elements and land battles. Especially love the animation of the archers, their shooting (needles) and the sound/music.
Unhappy with the naval war bugs and turn limit of the game (too short). I mean, why not 6 or 8 turn a year, so that the startegy can be planned better. One always has an eye on the year while going about it. -

Mar 25, 2011I must say that I gave Empire a horrible review due to the numerous bugs and loss of support. The release day Shogun 2 is in better shape than Empire was left in. I have only seen minor, non-game breaking bugs after about 40 hrs of play. The Creative Assembly have released a fairly polished game, that should only get better in time.
Mar 24, 2011A sick, sick game. Highly recommended. I might even use some of the multiplayer features. Certainly the best effort out of the three i've played (ETW & NTW being the others). Haven't hit any bugs either, which was my main concern with the last two Empire games. Do yourself a favor and buy it
May 20, 2011Love this game. I have over 100 hours played now (in single player). Call me crazy if you will, but there's something about games like this that are addicting to me.
Now I just wish they'd start up the Warhammer Dark Omen series again (completely different setting, but the feel of the combat is somewhat similar). Total War Fantasy game, that would rock. -
Mar 30, 2011
Jun 13, 2011I was a huge fan of the first, and the other titles that followed. This is improved nicely, the AI is vastly improved, the economy is a little more advanced. It's not as easy to gain generals, I actually have to work at it. Don't forget to get married so that your character has heirs.. I sure hope that they remake Rome TW.
Mar 20, 2011DITO!
"Been playing since release, what can i say...i havnt slept...its pretty awesome, best total was since medieval 2! Looks amazing even tho theres no dx11 untill they patch it, then it'll be a 11/10! " -
Apr 2, 2011Finally some melee combat. I've had enough of gunpowder and muskets. In my opinion ancient warfare is what makes Total War so great. Cavalry, infantry, siege weapons, swords, shields etc.. This game is as good as Rome or M2TW but like all Total War titles it has lots of game breaker bugs in it and no antialising, no DX11 whatsoever. I hope CA releases good patches and addresses all the bugs.
Mar 29, 2011Superbe ! L'immersion est garantie, le jeu est très prenant. Je regrette que cette qualité ne se retrouve pas dans ETW où la carte est bien plus intéressante. Pas de bugs, et avec les mods (darth...) ça va faire très mal.
Apr 5, 2011
Apr 2, 2011
Apr 7, 2011i'm still hopefull there will be a World TotalWar but a huge 10 from me, brilliant game. i've played every TW since it came out and love the new easy access of the features.
Apr 27, 2011
Apr 14, 2011
Apr 21, 2011Another great addition to the total war series. AI is challenging, diplomacy actually has a point, battles are balanced and immersive. Game is more focused and intense than Empire, offering a different challenge.
May 9, 2011As her journey for the ultimate revenge continues, Beatrix Kiddo is left with three people on her quest to kill; her ex-lover/boss Bill and his two remaining associates; his brother Budd and Billâ
May 14, 2011Great game.... Thank you CA for an awesome game graphics are superb, gameplay is very awesome, what more can you ask for? if you like the total war series then dont even hesitate to buy this game.
May 17, 2011Shogun 2 is the best Total War game i have ever played. The Atmosphere in this game is absolutely amazing. With Improved AI, i can play it for hours nonstop. I urge you to try it out if you were let down by the Empire Total War, you wont be disappointed.
Apr 1, 2011
Apr 8, 2011
Apr 8, 2011An utterly brilliant sleep stealer!
Minor bugs and limited Campaign modes aside,Shogun 2 is a gorgeous,well thought out strategy title.If you have any interest in strategy,logistics,history,ninja,diplomacy or samauri,you must play this game. -
Jun 1, 2011
Mar 29, 2011This games would have been my favorite RTS of all time, but unfortunately I cannot play it because of steam. I wish that PC games were distributed equally in both ways.
Apr 9, 2011the best total war so far. i have owned every total war game since shogun 1, and this just blows them out of the water.(well almost sinks Rome) graphics: insane. gameplay: refined. style: perfect. ninjas: ninjas. buy this game.
(really this game would be worth it just for the ninjas) -
May 25, 2011This work of love is the culmination of everything Total War stands for. Simply amazing. P.S.: CA we all want Rome 2! Just make sure it has the same finesse and work you poured into Shogun 2 ;)
Jun 4, 2011Back to the Roots. The best game in series 9.0
Apr 20, 2011
Apr 28, 2011I am concerned, that note above is too low, becouse the game is great, but... This is the same game, that Empire, Napoleon and all Total Wars are! What's more: number of units is greatly decreased compare with eg. Medieval 2!
If this was my first Total War, I would rate on 10, but sadly, it is not. -
May 5, 2011

I love Total War more than anything!Been playing since release, what can i say...i havnt slept...its pretty awesome, best total was since medieval 2! Looks amazing even tho theres no dx11 untill they patch it, then it'll be a 11/10!

Jul 29, 2011I give the multi-player a strong 10, and I have started playing the single player but the customization and loyalty to your units in the multi-player seems so much stronger to me that I cannot get through more than 10 turns in single player. Here is my breakdown:
Graphics: 10/10
Sound: 9/10
Battle Interface: 10/10
Battle Gameplay: 10/10
Fun Factor: 10/10 -
Feb 11, 2012
Mar 6, 2012I use it as a benchmark when I put new hardware in my PC, I play it anyways because it is fun. No reason why not to buy, plus they are coming out with a new game (DLC if you own this one) that allows Rifles to battle with samurai.
Jan 4, 2013
Dec 26, 2011This is simply the best total war game ever. I've played most of the games from the series and Shogun 2 is a dream come true, that goes back to the original root, but with all the refinements of the last decade. If you are into deep strategy and historic accuracy you can't miss it.

Nov 10, 2011
May 17, 2011
Jul 14, 2011There is a je ne sais quoi elegance on how the game is presented and how well put together the game as an entire corpus is. Although it's still mired by some version 1.0 bugs, Shogun is highly playable and deserves a place on any Total War fan's hard drive.
May 22, 2011Beautiful, complex and varied historical strategy which offers hours of fun in single player and multiplayer modes. [Issue#203]
May 1, 2011The mix of turn based strategy (with economical, political and diplomatic ramifications) and real time battles is still wonderful, but the need to balance timing and aggression is more important than ever. Aggressive players will feel a little cheated, while diplomats will hate Realm Divide stage. Still, Total War was always about realism and the AI's scripted actions make logical and historical sense.

Radio Systems Goes to the Movies
Philadelphia - Oct 5, 2007 - When Hollywood wants realism, it turns to the industries being portrayed to ensure that what moviegoers see is closer to reality than fiction. In September, the movie The Brave One staring Jodie Foster was released.
In the movie, radio host Erica Bain (Foster) works and lives in New York City. When her husband is killed and she is severely beaten, Bain copes with the tragic event by becoming a vigilante. Because the lead character's career is that of a radio host, the movie required a radio studio. The role also required Foster to learn how to act like a radio personality, which included the technical operations of radio.
To construct the radio studio, Warner Brothers approached Radio Systems for its facility integration experience. The working studio was built on a Brooklyn soundstage.
For Foster, learning how to operate radio equipment was important to make her character believable. To show her the ropes, Daniel Braverman, president of Radio Systems, met with Foster at the studios of WOR so she could learn how it all worked. The two are seen here in this photo taken at WOR prior to production.

I am refinishing a bathroom medicine cabinet. Normally I use oil based polyurethane, however, it was suggested that I might try tung oil. Found an old container of Hope's 100% tung oil. It says for big application thin with mineral spirits. It typical size medicine cabinet so I'm assuming that I should thin it with mineral spirits. So how much do I add and how long of a drying time between coats? |

If it's an "old container", especially if it's been opened, toss it and go for what you are accustomed to using. Old tung oil will start to oxidize in the can and will never make a decent finish. |

Tung Oil has this mystique around it. There are many finishes that capitalize on this by calling themselves "Tung Oil Finish" that are oil-varnish blends and typically the oil is linseed oil and nary a drop of tung oil can be found. If it is 100% tung oil, you do have the real stuff. Truth is, it provides minimal protection, you must let thoroughly dry (at least a couple of days) between coats or you get white spots that you need to strip to get rid of, is relatively expensive (except you already have this), and really looks no different than the easier to use, cheaper, and more readily available boiled linseed oil. Whatever you decide, I strongly suggest that you try your finish out on some scrap and make sure it works to your satisfaction. Here are directions, courtesy of Bob Flexner's "Understanding Wood Finishes" (2nd ed.) P.77 In addition, tung oil cures very slowly -- considerably faster than raw linseed oil but still slower than boiled linseed oil -- so you need to wait several days between coats. This makes tung oil an inefficient finish to use." |
Lazygardens, That was my thought when I found it. I don't think the person who had this, ever use it. So, I open it and poured some out. The color and consistency look good with no foul odor. That's when I posted my question. However, the more I read the more I thought this isn't going to work. Until I found a post on mixing varnishes why didn't I think about that. I mix stains so why not varnish. Found a recipe for tung oil/poly and mineral spirits. Also, found one where they used tung/blo/poly. Though I don't understand why use blo and tung in the same recipe if there is really little difference between them. I don't have BLO but raw linseed oil. I can't for the life of me remember why I got it. |
See the article below for the scoop on linseed oil. Staining and dying wood should never need a week to dry. Oil based stains seldom need more than 36 hours, water based less than 24, and alcohol based around a half hour to dry for final sanding and finishing. Why not use shellac for the finish. Natural, fast drying, available in many colors/tints and easily repairable if damaged. To get fresh shellac, you need to buy flakes and dissolve them in denatured alcohol. A little research on shellac will give you plenty of info on what to do. |
Here is a link that might be useful: The difference between raw and boiled linseed oil
The stains I use don't need a week to dry, I just prefer to wait a week before putting on the next coat. I know, I get it that she's nuts, all the time. I'm in no hurry and the wood is not going anywhere. Thanks for the info on linseed old. |

Throughout Wisconsin, options are expanding for young children with disabilities. Professionals working with 3 through 5 year old children with disabilities are finding innovative ways to provide an array of Special education Services including services in the home, Head Start, Child Care, and other community setting. The goal is to provide integrated learning activities and environments for young children with disabilities and to provide these experiences in the least restrictive environment. Find out more about these service options and resources to support them or link to CESA 10's Preschool Options Project website. - http://www.preschooloptions.org/
The Preschool Options Project is a DPI funded project that provides training to assist local school districts in developing a range of options in Least Restrictive Environments (LRE) for young children with disabilities. Many districts have a variety of programs within local schools and communities where children with disabilities can receive special education services while learning with typically developing peers. The State of Wisconsin has a goal in the State Special Education Plan to increase services in these community settings. This website shares information related to the project, along with tools and resources to make it happen in your community. - http://www.collaboratingpartners.com/disabilities-environments-2-6.php

A National Resource: The National Professional Development Center on Inclusion (NPDCI) is working with states to create a system of high quality, cross-agency, accessible professional development for early childhood personnel. While NPDCI serves as a resource to all states, the center will select eight states for more intense collaboration. NPDCI is taking advantage of the many resources the Internet now provides to collaborate on a larger scale to build a knowledge base around professional development and inclusion. We have launched a Community of Practice which serves as a forum for people to come together and share challenges, ask questions, and contribute ideas on issues related to early childhood professional development and inclusion. We host webinars on a variety of topics related to inclusion, and all NPDCI products, position statements and planning are available on the website. - Quality Indicators of Inclusive Early Childhood Programs/Practices

Any given language has words you can say speaking but not write them at all, or words that you write but don't usually say because no conversation would have them in. Think about words like "gotta", a contraction for "have got to". Speaking the "have got to" may become "gotta". ut you wouldn't write gotta because it's just not right. It's not part of English's written language.
But that's not what I'm here to talk about. As language is any method of human communication, either verbal or nonverbal, one can see clear differences between spoken language and written language.
If someone texted you right now, with "You're terrible!", without you knowing whose number is that, what would you think? Is it some random acquaintance insulting you for something you did (terrible in a bad way), or a friend joking around about something you else did (terrible in a good way)? Think about right now. Of course, you might choose one or another, you can't choose both; but you still can't know who that is or the reason for the text. Not knowing about the context of that statement, you can't actually know the meaning of it. But you could, if you heard the person.
People being heard and seen, words being read.
The way anybody speaks tells you about the aim of the message: to chat, to enjoy, to insult, to provoke doubt, to… And so many others… In some cases, you don't know the person. That's when you lose "context" in a spoken conversation. Because you don't know the person, you can't really know the way he or she talks. As so you can't really distinguish emotions from static states…
In a written conversation, words have to fill context, emotions, sentiment. In a spoken conversation, words become superfluous. Why? Maybe with time people have developed a way to understand each other better. I can't know how people spoked in the XVII century, and I can't base that knowledge on writings, precisely because those were written. We, while writing, have to add words to the actual words, to make sure the reader gets the idea (or doesn't, if that's the point).
Wordless concepts, lacking of…
At the end, the written language was the "second" one (we talked first, I believe, then we wrote), and so it has evolved a lot, but it's still needing words to communicate wordless concepts. But personally I don't think it's the written language that has "superfluous" elements, but the spoken language, that needs the transmitter of the message use its own set of skills to somehow by wordless actions send a wordless message "attached" to the original words.
I know most people disagrees, but I find it to be true: some times that "wordless actions" betray us, or other people, and send others wrong messages. I hate when that happens. I'm sure you do, too.
To be fair, I can accept to say spoken language lacks of enough words, while written language lacks of those "wordless actions". None is truly "complete", but both fulfills each's needs. What do you think? I wrote this while angry, happy, anxious?

Everybody at Clustercorp is excited about the Intel Xeon® 5500 launch – I was buzzing up and down the California coast, working with the open source Rocks guys in San Diego and our commercial Rocks+ dev & support team in Northern California – intermixed with partner site visits to make sure everybody was ready on launch day. This type of launch allowed us to show off how nimble a company building from mature open source solutions can be. Rocks+ was fully certified and tested as Intel Cluster Ready on a number of our hardware partners' new systems within 1-week of the Intel Xeon® 5500's release to sales.
It's cool to see hardware partners' eyes light up when they first experience the tight integration Clustercorp's engineers have built between Rocks+ and Intel Cluster Ready. One of our principal goals when we entered the program was to extend the Rocks mantra of "making clusters easy" to the Intel Cluster Ready spec. We've seen vendors struggle for weeks with other solutions sit down with Rocks+ for the first time, and build Intel Cluster Ready systems in about an hour – this is a true testament to the power of the open source Rocks framework and the design of the Intel Cluster Ready Roll spearheaded by Jason Bishop at Clustercorp.
We are looking forward to a continued ramp in end-user adoption of Intel Cluster Ready in '09 and increased interaction with the other ISVs in the program. In the second half of '08 we started seeing more ISVs leverage our work with Rocks+ as a base to build their Intel Cluster Ready codes. As a former HPC end-user, I dreamed of the day a cluster would be delivered to my lab fully-configured, with a standards-based cluster management platform, and most of my developer tools or applications ready to run… I expect there are a lot of eager HPC sys admins waiting to get their hands on Intel's new architecture – our aim is to make their new cluster purchases and continued administration of their systems as pleasant and efficient as possible.

Comparison of price levels over time. In fiscal policy, indexation is used as a means of offsetting the effect of inflation or deflation on social security payments and taxes by measuring the real value of money from a fixed point of reference, usually a price index. Without indexing, recipients of social security benefits, for example, would suffer during times of inflation if their benefits remained at a fixed rate. Indexation is used in some countries to offset bracket creep, which occurs in any progressive tax system when inflation pushes taxpayers into higher tax brackets. Indexation may also refer to the linking of wage rates and financial instruments to a price index.

I have a Broan Allure range hood over my stove. occasionally the bulbs burn out and have to be changed. However everytime I have to change one the bulb comes off it's base when I unscrew it. So I have to get in there and get that base out. Is there a grease I can use that is safe for light bulbs that would prevent them from sticking. The halogens don't do this but are expensive so I use regular 40w sylvanias |
Follow-Up Postings:
Pencil graphite is a good lubricant for light bulbs. Blacken the threads of bulb (or at least make them grey) before you install it. |
Many of the bulbs are no longer even brass plated, let alone solid brass. |
ok thanks for the info |

WoW.com is looking for warlock and elemental shaman columnists {WoW}
Jun 14th 2010 9:22AM As a Warlock and a Mage I am really sorry to see Mr. Hobbs go. I loved reading his work. My favorite is by far his Arcane Brilliance post that got the attention of so many. Great stuff.
Good luck in whatever you decide to do:)
Breakfast Topic: A few of your favorite things {WoW}
Jun 7th 2010 8:21AM Not one item in particular, but the T5/S2 warlock sets were my favorite. When I saw warlocks out side the tournament grounds wearing navy blue versions I got a little excited and hoped maybe that was going to be T10:( Anyway I would love to see a slightly upgraded version of that in the xpac:) (the warlock T6/S3 is my 2nd favorite look)
Season 8 armor sets unveiled {WoW}
Jan 27th 2010 6:51PM I love the pally coloring.. it fits. They are holy warriors, unlike the darker look the PvE set has. I love the warlock look, but hate the coloring. They were going darker and darker each season.. S7 was purple (perfect for locks), so I was REALLY hopeful for a return to black for S8. The lighter coloring doesn't make sense to me, but other wise its nice. I like the Mage set a lot as well, although it looks a bit more evil than I would like for my mage. The only set I don't really like is the shaman set.. its too... blah. (for a lack of a better way to describe my feelings)
Warlocks to get a new pet in Cataclysm? {WoW}
Jan 16th 2010 6:59AM I hope its not a fire elemental.. first of all fire is represented already via the Imp. Secondly, as already mentioned by others, we are not elementalists.
I want a demon, not an elemental.
While I would love a new cool demon to use, I have a feeling some of these things hinted at are in regards to infernals becoming guardians, like DK's gargoyle.
If its not a new pet, I would love a new warlock only flying mount. That would be sweet.
Oh and green fire please!
Blizzard giving serious consideration to mandatory authenticators {WoW}
Jan 8th 2010 2:50AM The major issue I have with authenticators is that there are countries Blizzard won't ship to. I lived in a country that Blizzard supported, but now I do not and when I tried to buy the Authenticator, they wouldn't ship it to my current location. If Blizzard makes it mandatory they need to lift those restriction or they may lose some players, although I totally realize it would be an acceptable loss for them with the current number or players out there, it would suck for those of us forced to quit.
Death Knight manga is as good as it gets part III {WoW}
Jan 4th 2010 11:41AM I love the comics and manga because I too love both Warcraft and comics. What really irks me though is that it all seems so Alliance heavy. True that the previous manga have had some short stories revolving around horde races, but it so very little. Give us more Horde and not a typical Horde=Evil type thing. I don't want some sappy Horde are just misunderstood thing either though. Give us a Horde Warlock as a main protagonist or something like that.
The Twelve Days of Winter Veil: Day one - Steelseries gear {WoW}
Jan 2nd 2010 7:50PM Please!!
The Twelve Days of Winter Veil: Day six {WoW}
Dec 28th 2009 9:19AM me plz
The Twelve Days of Winter Veil: Day eleven {WoW}
Dec 23rd 2009 8:31AM Happy Holidays:)
In-game fixes for December 15th {WoW}
Dec 15th 2009 11:08PM The increased drop rate is a good idea. The weapon isn't THAT great, in that most people will probably get better in a month or two anyway. Giving more players the chance to get the hilt and the quest on the other hand is worth more than the actual weapon. This is a good move on Blizzards part.

Municipality: Greater Tzaneen Local Municipality
Civic Centre
1 Agatha Street
Tzaneen, Limpopo
South Africa
Greater Tzaneen Municipality is situated in th eastern quadrant of Limpopo Province. The area encompasses the towns of Tzaneen, Nkowankowa, Lenyenye, Letsitele and Haenertsburg and includes 125 rural villages, concentrated mainly in the south-east and north-west. Almost 80% of households reside in the rural villages.
The municipality stretches from Haenertsburg in the west to Rubbervale in the east and from Trichardtsdal in the south to just south of Modjadjiskloof in the north. Almost two thirds of land is privately owned and used mainly for commercial farming; one third is under the custodianship of tribal authorities and a negligible amount is municipal coomonage, a situation that complicates development planning.
While the municipality with its wealth of natural beauty and resources (rivers and streams, dams, indigenous forests, citrus plantations and tourist attractions) has tremendous potential for development, the preformance of the trade sector (wholesale, retail, catering and accommodation) has tended to show slow growth rates. There are indications that the tourism sector has grown considerably but tourism demand is still well below what could be expected from an area with such outstanding natural potential. The municipality is currently engaged in developing the tourism sector and has established a tourism centre to provide information about tourism attractions. Further feasibility studies are necessary regarding hotspots identified for development as tourist attractions.
Greater Tzaneen Economic Development Agency
In March 2007, the Greater Municipality with support from the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC) founded the Greater Tzaneen Economic Development Agency (GTEDA) in order to advance and leverage the development and job creation potential inherent within Greater Tzaneen Municipal area. The GTEDA is a 100% public agency owned by Greater Tzaneen Municipality.
Critical infrastructure
The Great Letaba River traverses the municipality from west to east and is joined by many tributaries. There are six significant dams within the municipal area from which primary water is sourced via water schemes and which also provide water for irrigation to farmers: Ebenezer Dam, Tzaneen Dam, Tours Dam, Thabina Dam, Magoebaskloof Dam and Thapane Dam.
Provincial and district link roads are generally in good condition. Some access gravel roads to villages and internal streets within villages are problematic. Storm water management is closely linked to the condition of roads and is influenced by settlements that developed in topographically steep areas.
There are 42 health facilities rendering comprehensive primary care. They are supplemented by six mobile clinic teams servicing 318 points.
Siuated close to the scenic splendour of Magoebaskloof, Tzaneen is the second largest town in Limpopo Province. Within easy reach are fascinating archaeological sites, mighty baobab trees, wildlife and nature reserves as well as suberb range of tourism facilities.
The region is characterised by widespread, varied and intensive farming activities (commercial timber, cash crops, tropical fruit and citrus fruit production). It has mountainous, inaccessible terrain in the west and south and gentle slopes to the north and east. The municipality also contains areas of exceptional natural beauty with considerable untapped tourism potential.
The agricultural and forestry sector is the biggest employer, followed by community, social and personal services and then wholesale and retail services.
The local economy is reasonably well diversified. Apart from the services sector (26% of GGO), and agriculture (21% of GGP), manufacturing (20%), trade and catering (14%) form the backbone of the economy.
A large number of residents are unemployed; about 28% of households have no income at all and the majority of those in employment perform low-paying, unskilled work. Educational levels are low, which impacts on skills levels. More than 70% of households have an income below the minimum living level.
A lack of potable water supply in 12 rural locations affects 32,615 households. Schools in rural areas also experience a lack of potable water and sanitation facilities. There are 135 primary schools, 74 secondary schools, 2 special schools, and 3 tertiary institutions in the municipal area. There is a backlog of 70 primary schools and 22 secondary schools.
Parks and recreational facilities are well developed and maintained in the urban areas, whereas rural areas have little development.
