The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.

consume it internally but others want it filtered, condensed, and/or
analyzed. For example, Prudential Global Security group admitted they want
more information/osint and also lamented other providers didn't give them
anything they couldn't get from the internet or via AP and Reuters. They
also wanted our added capability to help analyze when they are
overwhelmed. Our ability to translate (even some low-level papers) and
provide osint from various sources was a benefit that was key in them
asking us for a proposal to support them. Other companies I have talked
with don't have analysts internally therefore need someone to help them id
what's important to their operations and analyze it.
Overall, companies are very satisfied with what we produce in general on
the website but once they know we can provide the Sitreps & intel, focused
monitoring and/or analysis then they are eager to listen. It then boils
down to how a company is set up internally to consume our information,
cost and whether it will bring value to them as to what they will buy from

Subject: RE: Weekly executive report
Think there is value in knowing what are the 3 most important items we are
watching in the world on any given day..
Folks pay for exclusive access to what we think is important; Coupled by
monthly audio call-in briefings (exclusive) on topics of our choice, e.g.,
Was the Ft. Hood Shooter a terrorist? Does Obama's Asia Junket Mean a
Damn Thing? What is the Iranians End Game?
Most people multi-task. Right now I'm listening to G. Gordon Liddy and
typing this note.
Believe folks are on info overload and nobody reads anything but sound
bites anymore. SitReps are sound bites. Govt hacks, see about 25
different products w/sitreps daily, to the point one is in sitrep

i'd just add that there is more than the sitreps in terms of content
creation -- we get a lot of intel that for various reasons almost never
make it to the sitreps
if we can suss out a way to metabolize the intel in a manner that doesn't
require an analysis, we'd have a lot richer offering

Just got back from a trip to DC and have not had a chance to more than

I want to share with you one thought I had flying back. In trying to
distinguish between the corporate and individual product, I think we have
missed a step. We have talked about markets and we have talked of
methods, but we haven't talked in terms of basic principles. What purpose
does the consumer product serve. What purpose does the corporate product
serve. Not a term frequently used but worth considering as an organizing
The consumer product is designed to inform someone seriously interested in
international affairs about the events and meaning of the events in the
international arena. It is intended to inform citizens, government
officials and businessmen in the major trends and directions of
international affairs, as well as emerging risks and dangers. It is a
decision making tool only in the sense that the Wall Street Journal allows
you to pick stocks--not really. In this product we decide for the reader
what is important about the world while allowing him some ability to focus
on things that are of interest to him in a general sense. The amount of
content provided must equal or exceed this mission.
The corporate and government products are designed to support decision
making. It is designed to be both more responsive to the needs of the
buyer and shaped directly to the issues contained there.
The challenge we face in the corporate market is this. We are not an
information provider but a content creator. Bloomberg provides
information in the form of market data; CQ provides information on
congressional proceedings. Janes provides information on weapon systems.
All three are primarily conduits for the distribution of relatively raw
data, with the value added of organizing that data and making it
accessible. They provide vast amounts of data automatically databased for
use by decision makers and analysts. In addition they provide some
analysis which has some value, but it is an add-on to the information they
We don't provide information. There is no third party data set that we
are organizing and passing through to the reader. We are content
providers in the full sense that we produce what we sell. We can database
it and distribute it, but like any content provider we provide relatively
little content when compared to the torrents provided by Bloomberg, CQ or
Janes. Approaching our problem from the standpoint of information
provider makes us something we are not.
To the extent to which we are an information provider, that information is
in the sitreps, as raw data streaming in from around the world in terse
form and distributed. If we are to be in the information providing
business, it is our acquisition, selection, organization and sitreps that
does it. So if corporations will buy us for decisions support as they will
buy the other three, this is really what we have to offer. It's either
the sitreps or a more focused analytical product. It can be both, but
without the sitreps we aren't an information provider. The corporate
market will have to want our sitreps for us to enter the information
I should add that Richard has drafted a detailed proposal on the corporate
market that I didn't have a chance to read this weekend but will tomorrow.
These thoughts are hastily scribbled out prior to reading it and
everything I'm saying may be revised based on it. But these were airplane
thoughts that I thought I would share.
I would like to start a discussion on this--emails will do--as I regard
this insight--after a hectic weekend--as significant. Like reflections on
love and war after a night of drinking Slivowitz, undoubtedly.

Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha (CEBA) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 From Paul, a slave of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for God's good news. | 1 Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart for the gospel of God-- |
2 - | 2 the gospel he promised beforehand through his prophets in the Holy Scriptures |
3 God promised this good news about his Son ahead of time through his prophets in the holy scriptures. His Son was descended from David. | 3 regarding his Son, who as to his human nature was a descendant of David, |
4 He was publicly identified as God's Son with power through his resurrection from the dead, which was based on the Spirit of holiness. This Son is Jesus Christ our Lord. | 4 and who through the Spirit of holiness was declared with power to be the Son of God by his resurrection from the dead: Jesus Christ our Lord. |
5 Through him we have received God's grace and our appointment to be apostles. This was to bring all Gentiles to faithful obedience for his name's sake. | 5 Through him and for his name's sake, we received grace and apostleship to call people from among all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith. |
6 You who are called by Jesus Christ are also included among these Gentiles. | 6 And you also are among those who are called to belong to Jesus Christ. |
7 To those in Rome who are dearly loved by God and called to be God's people. | 7 To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
8 Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.First of all, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because the news about your faithfulness is being spread throughout the whole world. | 8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. |
9 I serve God in my spirit by preaching the good news about God's Son, and God is my witness that I continually mention you | 9 God, whom I serve with my whole heart in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you |
10 in all my prayers. I'm always asking that somehow, by God's will, I might succeed in visiting you at last. | 10 in my prayers at all times; and I pray that now at last by God's will the way may be opened for me to come to you. |
11 I really want to see you to pass along some spiritual gift to you so that you can be strengthened. | 11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong-- |
12 What I mean is that we can mutually encourage each other while I am with you. We can be encouraged by the faithfulness we find in each other, both your faithfulness and mine. | 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other's faith. |
13 I want you to know, brothers and sisters, that I planned to visit you many times, although I have been prevented from coming until now. I want to harvest some fruit among you, just as I have done among the other Gentiles. | 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles. |
14 I have a responsibility both to Greeks and to those who don't speak Greek, both to the wise and to the foolish. | 14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. |
15 That's why I'm ready to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome. | 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome. |
16 I'm not ashamed of the gospel: it is God's own power for salvation to all who have faith in God, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. | 16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God for the salvation of everyone who believes: first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. |
17 God's righteousness is being revealed in the gospel, from faithfulness for faith, as it is written, The righteous person will live by faith. | 17 For in the gospel a righteousness from God is revealed, a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: "The righteous will live by faith." |
18 God's wrath is being revealed from heaven against all the ungodly behavior and the injustice of human beings who silence the truth with injustice. | 18 The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of men who suppress the truth by their wickedness, |
19 This is because what is known about God should be plain to them because God made it plain to them. | 19 since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. |
20 Ever since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities—God's eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, because they are understood through the things God has made. So humans are without excuse. | 20 For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. |
21 Although they knew God, they didn't honor God as God or thank him. Instead, their reasoning became pointless, and their foolish hearts were darkened. | 21 For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. |
22 While they were claiming to be wise, they made fools of themselves. | 22 Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools |
23 They exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images that look like mortal humans: birds, animals, and reptiles. | 23 and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like mortal man and birds and animals and reptiles. |
24 So God abandoned them to their hearts' desires, which led to the moral corruption of degrading their own bodies with each other. | 24 Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. |
25 They traded God's truth for a lie, and they worshipped and served the creation instead of the creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. | 25 They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. Amen. |
26 That's why God abandoned them to degrading lust. Their females traded natural sexual relations for unnatural sexual relations. | 26 Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural relations for unnatural ones. |
27 Also, in the same way, the males traded natural sexual relations with females, and burned with lust for each other. Males performed shameful actions with males, and they were paid back with the penalty they deserved for their mistake in their own bodies. | 27 In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed indecent acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their perversion. |
28 Since they didn't think it was worthwhile to acknowledge God, God abandoned them to a defective mind to do inappropriate things. | 28 Furthermore, since they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, he gave them over to a depraved mind, to do what ought not to be done. |
29 So they were filled with all injustice, wicked behavior, greed, and evil behavior. They are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, deception, and malice. They are gossips, | 29 They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips, |
30 they slander people, and they hate God. They are rude and proud, and they brag. They invent ways to be evil, and they are disobedient to their parents. | 30 slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents; |
31 They are without understanding, disloyal, without affection, and without mercy. | 31 they are senseless, faithless, heartless, ruthless. |
32 Though they know God's decision that those who persist in such practices deserve death, they not only keep doing these things but also approve others who practice them. | 32 Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them. |

Awwww... she is adorable!!!
IMHO, that's going to be a black headed tri and not much tri at that. However, if you look at my pictures of Arthur (a red headed tri I had) he's markings did become more extensive as he grew olders.
My girl had a black head when she was a baby and she is a red head now. There are baby pictures of her on my page if you want to look. Either way, your baby is beautiful!! Congrats. I love puppies, how exciting!!! ♥
Thank you Joey! I get to meet her after her first set of shots, so in about 2 weeks, I will try and peek at her ears for color then. So I would still be able to tell with her being so young?
Congrats, you got a nice dog there.
Weather she is red or black headed tri, it really depends on the color of her inner ear. If her inner ear is red, she will be red headed tri. If her inner ear is black, then she will be black headed tri. Hopefully, You can find the following website to be helpful.

Re: spray coupe ????
We had a 3630, which would be comparible. It was excellent in mud, because it was so light. The weak spots in it were the brakes they were horrible (had to take them apart every year) and it was a little under powered. We ended up trading this year to a 4700, mainly to get more water volume for spraying fungicide.

Re: spray coupe ????
I cover a lot of ground and 7.00 an acre is probably where it should be. I got six last year and am seriously rethinking the whole custom ap thing because with the prices of labour, fuel and repairs it just wasn't enough. I recomend anoyone who is going to make a purchase to think it through. Personally if I had a good operator and was farming your amount of acres I wouldn't even consider it. Sprayers require a lot of upkeep from everything from pumps to nozzles and everything in between including engines, hydros, planetatries, booms tires. Yes you probably can divert some of the money you would towards your purchase that you would normally spend on Custom work but remember, now you have to pay for the fuel, the depreciation, the labour (okay i know farmers never figure that in) all the repairs, haul and pay for your own water and the help to get it to you and most of all be handy with a wrench. It may seem that your applicator is raking you through the coals but, more than likely he has to eat to and I can assure you he is not getting rich at your expense. Custom app is 100 percent write off, too. Talk to your accountant, he will tell you which is the smartest way to go, mine hasn't steered me wrong yet.

Re: spray coupe ????
unfortunately if i don't find some ways to cut some cost my accountant is going to tell me to stop farming because i cant afford to do it.. no i don't think i was being raked through the coals i just thought i could save some money.
if i spend 15K on a sprayer it will pay for itself pretty quick. the idea of a direct and 100% write off sounds great but i have found that with farming its more about building equity than it is making money. and with that being said i would prefer to build equity at my house than someone else's. and with paying someone else thats basically all I'm doing... building equity for someone else. |

Re: spray coupe ????
I know 15000.00 dollars seems like a good deal, and it probably is. I have never considered iron a good source of equity because as it loses value it eventually will get sold by the pound to the scrap yard. Where that 15000 is not such a good deal is when you buy it and then the engine or something goes and you spend another 15000 on the machine when it is worth only that much. If you have tractors that you use on the farm, I think your cheapest bet would be a good used pull type. Do your two passes with that and hire out the high clearance work. If you do the math you will find that you are money ahead. When a self propelled sprayer is only worth 15000 dollars, someone has already used up the the majority of its life, and when they start to give you grief, man are they a pain. Anyways just some advice from a guy who has been around the business for a while, I wish you luck in your quest.

I don't think a 220 is high enough for pre-harvesting cereals.
I like my 3630 with a Peugot diesel, it is a little underpowered but it light enough to go through a lot of mud and you can do fungicides as well with proper nozzles and slower speeds. The 4640 and newer all have The more powerful Perkins diesel. |

Retirement Tips from Uncle Sam
April 08, 2008
The US Labor Department has issued a list of the Top 10 Ways to Prepare for Retirement:
Know Your Retirement Needs
Retirement is expensive. Experts estimate that you'll need about 70 percent of your preretirement income – lower earners, 90 percent or more – to maintain your standard of living when you stop working. Take charge of your financial future. Start by requesting Savings Fitness: A Guide to Your Money and Your Financial Future.
Find Out About Your Social Security Benefits
Social Security pays the average retiree about 40 percent of preretirement earnings. Call the Social Security Administration at 1.800.772.1213 for a free Social Security Statement and find out more about your benefits at http://www.socialsecurity.gov/.
Learn About Your Employer's Pension Or Profit Sharing Plan
If your employer offers a plan, check to see what your benefit is worth. Most employers will provide an individual benefit statement if you request one. Before you change jobs, find out what will happen to your pension. Learn what benefits you may have from previous employment. Find out if you will be entitled to benefits from your spouse's plan. For a free booklet about protecting your pension, request What You Should Know about Your Retirement Plan.
Contribute To A Tax-Sheltered Savings Plan
If your employer offers a tax-sheltered savings plan, such as a 401(k), sign up and contribute all you can. Your taxes will be lower, your company may kick in more, and automatic deductions make it easy. Over time, compound interest and tax deferrals make a big difference in the amount you will accumulate.
Ask Your Employer To Start A Plan
If your employer doesn't offer a retirement plan, suggest that it start one. Simplified plans can be set up by certain employers. For information on simplified employment pensions, order Internal Revenue Service Publication 590 by calling 1.800.829.3676. Or you can view a copy on the IRS Web site. You may also want to request a copy of Choosing a Retirement Solution for Your Small Business.
Put Your Money Into An Individual Retirement Account
You can put up to $4,000 a year into an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) and gain tax advantages. This chart illustrates the way your account can grow in an IRA.
When you open an IRA, you have two options – a traditional IRA or the newer Roth IRA. The tax treatment of your contributions and withdrawals will depend on which option you select. Also, you should know that the after-tax value of your withdrawal will depend on inflation and the type of IRA you choose.
Don't Touch Your Savings
Don't dip into your retirement savings. You'll lose principal and interest, and you may lose tax benefits. If you change jobs, roll over your savings directly into an IRA or your new employer's retirement plan.
Start Now, Set Goals, And Stick To Them
Start early. The sooner you start saving, the more time your money has to grow. Put time on your side. Make retirement savings a high priority. Devise a plan, stick to it, and set goals for yourself. Remember, it's never too early or too late to start saving. So start now, whatever your age!
Consider Basic Investment Principles
How you save can be as important as how much you save. Inflation and the type of investments you make play important roles in how much you'll have saved at retirement. Know how your pension or savings plan is invested. Financial security and knowledge go hand in hand.
Ask Questions
These tips point you in the right direction. But you'll need more information. Talk to your employer, your bank, your union, or a financial advisor. Ask questions and make sure the answers make sense to you. Get practical advice and act now.
Financial security doesn't just happen. It takes planning and commitment and, yes, money.

Radial Engineering USB-Pro Stereo Direct Box
Jul 30, 2014 3:53 PM
Radial Engineering's USB-Pro is a high-resolution stereo direct box designed to convert sound files from a laptop computer and seamlessly transfer them to a pair of balanced audio outputs to feed the signal to a microphone preamplifier, PA system, mixing console, or powered speaker. Made for plug-and-play simplicity, the USB-Pro will automatically be listed as an available sound card in the audio settings in all popular operating systems including Windows XP, Windows 7/8, and Mac OSX. Connection to a computer is accomplished through a standard USB type-B port. Digital-to-analog conversion can be monitored on headphones through the 3.5mm analog output to check signal quality and level before connecting to a sound system. A mono-sum switch may be engaged to check for phasing or for connection to a mono system. Should hum or buzz caused by ground loops be encountered, two recessed side-access switches allow the user to insert isolation transformers into the signal path. To further reduce susceptibility to noise, the device is augmented with a ground lift switch that lifts pin-1 on both XLR jacks.

International Edition
Kate Krader (@kkrader on Twitter) is Food & Wine's restaurant editor. When she tells us where to find our culinary heart's desire, we listen up.
Wow. It's just astonishing and heartwarming and every positive adjective I can think of to see how hard people everywhere are working to help victims of Superstorm Sandy. There's still so much that needs to be done, such a great need for items like batteries, baby supplies, tools - the list goes on. Keep your eyes open for more ways to help, from eating out at places that donate to support Sandy victims to drop-offs for coats and supplies now that it's starting to snow here in the Northeast. But let's take one minute for a by-the-numbers look at several great efforts by people in the food industry to help others who still badly need it. 5,000: The number of pizza slices (that's 600 pies) that Boston's Otto Pizza chain delivered to Howard Beach last weekend, along with water. "We heard and saw that New Yorkers were in dire straits, and hungry to boot," co-owner Anthony Allen told Eater.com. "We can't rebuild houses, but we can, at least, feed a few thousand people some hot pizza. That's why we're doing it: because we can." The Otto team even warmed up their thin-crusted pizzas for New Yorkers on a grill before serving. 900: The number of sandwiches that Manhattan's elegant Italian restaurant Marea sent to the Rockaways. Sandwich selections included turkey and provolone, bologna and PB&J on white bread, whole wheat bread and whole grain rolls. There were brownies too, from Marea's pastry kitchen. 10,000: The number of dollars that Fourth Wall Restaurants (the company behind Smith & Wollensky, Maloney & Porcelli, Park Avenue Autumn, Post House and Quality Meats) donated to the Red Cross from their Election Night dinner service at all of the restaurants. 1,000: The number of roast pork sliders with green tomato barbecue sauce that the terrific Brooklyn restaurant Seersucker made in one day, donating all the money to help relief efforts in Red Hook. (That's 175 pounds of heritage Berkshire pig, if you're counting.)
28,000: The number of meals that the New York City Food Truck Association has served to residents without power in Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and New Jersey.
2000: The number of square feet of classroom space that The Brooklyn Kitchen filled with donations from neighbors—including clothes, canned goods, and cleaning supplies, etc.—to transport to people in need in the Rockaways (it took 20 carloads, the equivalent of one fully loaded tractor trailer, to get them there). 5,000: The number of pounds of squash from Taft Farms in Great Barrington, Massachusetts, that renowned chef David Bouley is turning into Heirloom Squash and Chestnut Soup at Bouley to donate to places in need, including schools and Bowery Rescue Center shelters. 4: The number of Top Chef alums who cooked at Anejo Tequileria on Monday, November 5, to raise funds for the Red Cross: Jen Carroll, Kevin Sbraga, Dale Talde and Angelo Sosa. 42: The number of people who paid $495 each to attend a sold-out six-course meal with cocktails at Manhattan's Café Boulud on Friday, November 2, to benefit the Red Cross. The phenom meal boasted a collaboration between chefs from the Korean-styled Momofuku restaurants with Café Boulud chef Gavin Kaysen. On the menu: matsutake mushroom agnolotti with buckwheat, and duck with wild rice and apple. Guests also got to take home pieces of Momofuku Milk Bar's aptly named Crack Pie. 15,000: The projected number of attendees for the New York Chocolate Show, which took place from Friday, November 9, through Sunday, November 11. The New York Times reported that there was a booth where visitors could drop off coats to be donated to New York Cares, which is starting its drive earlier than usual, to help victims of the storm. In other words, 15,000 is the number of coats that chocolate lovers could donate to aid storm victims. Didn't get a ticket? There are plenty of other drop-off points throughout the city.

2400 the number of meals taken to Far Rockaway, Brooklyn from Bronx Mosque as part of our outreach effort!!! May we seek guidance and protection from our Creator.
I notice you were not giving homeless people that were starving to death any free pizzas while the communists were making sure they couldnt even beg for food. You people and false sense of americanism make me sick. Let these disgusting communists die from freezing and starvation as they have done to others!
Sorry you feel ill. Perhaps if you stayed on your psych meds, you would feel better
Let me save everyone some headache of reading all the comments below:
Republican side: "Obama slow response/private business/FEMA" Democrat: "Papa John's not donate/Evil corporation/Stupid Tax Write off"
But there is hope. Occasionally, you may see a comment espousing the virtues of people, whether individually or as part of a corporation, donating food and other goods to people in need.
And where are the donations from the major chains that have CEOs that make millions each year????? Where is the donations from the high and mighty christian Cathy aka Chick fil A family? Where is the donations from Mr. I have a 22 car garage Papa John but I would rather cut my employee's hours than give health care to the people that breath on and touch the food I'm selling you?????
If I told you that, would it make you go away and stop being such a judgmental person? Probably not, but hope springs eternal. Yutz
Communism = State capitalism. Why do you think they torture so many to death after moving illegals in? The corporations do the dirty work for the communists by hiring the illegals. The prison state then disarms you and takes you to jail merely forr being poor.
Nice to hear these stories.
1,000,000: The number of dollars Lady Gaga donated to the Red Cross.
salvation army is the only trust worthy one.
I totally agree. Salvation Army helps all in need year round...Red Cross has coffee trucks and doughnuts with occassional temporary shelter during disaster, then dissappears.
Help the Salvation Army do their job and donate regulary.
...and I hope she continues to be blessed for doing such good with her money. She sets an example for other celebrities, who were born and live in NY and NJ.
Hope they have plenty of toilet paper.
It is a great show of support that these businesses would help people with their own supply and money. It's hard enough for small businesses to survive with our crappy economy and Gov tax. I have an excellent idea. How about our greedy celebrities each donate at least a million each. I'm sure they can afford to not spend 10,000 on their dogs or 30,000 on their faces for one week. Where are you celebrities. How about helping the people that pay for you to live your lavish bullshit lifestyles?
Reading some of the statements today makes me feel sorry for the folks that make them. I bet most of them have never experienced a hurricane. Get real people this is the worse storm to ever hid the east coast. Katrina while bad it did not cover such a large area.
"Get real people this is the worse storm to ever hid the east coast. "
And you came up with that statement with what? Total deaths? No, the 1938 hurricane killed more than 600+. Total damage? Hurricane Miami (1924) would have caused more if it landed in 2012 (150+ billion). So what exactly are you referring to as making this the worst on the East Coast? Barometric pressure was certainly low when it hit land fall, but this doesn't make it "the worst storm", just a very strong one.
This was the worst storm for UNPREPARED citizens who didn't take the warnings seriously and are now screaming for help. I live in southwest CT so I took this storm as well as Irene and Alfred last week, and in total I was out power for more than 21 days. Never needed any help because I PREPARED myself with food, water, batteries, gasoline, ect. Contingency plans people! Sure I was tired, and angry, but I got through it on my own. The only thing people should be relying on the government for is to clear the roads and restore the power (if your power is owned by the gov like Long Island). Expect nothing else, and you'll do much better.
And I'm sorry if you lost your house if you live near the coast, but what did you think? You live near the coast, it's the price you pay. It's a risk you are taking if you own a house near the coast (within a mile or 2). If you didn't realize that was a risk when you bought the house then you didn't do your homework.
Does being such a shamelessly unapologetic victim blamer make you feel better about yourself or something?
Alex makes some valid factual points, maybe he could have kept the tone less condescending. Everyone should prepare properly and research the consequences of owning property in areas of storm aggression such as the coast. IMO. This will continue to happen, over and over. It always has, always will. There is no reason to be ill prepared.
I think it's great that so many people are helping out with the Hurricane Sandy recovery. I wish the story had mentioned other groups/companies outside of the Northeast which have helped out in the area as well. One good example of this is "The Shed BBQ" from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. They have served several thousand meals, through their charity "Operation BBQ". There are so many organizations from around the country which are helping in the relief efforts.
Reblogged this on Leave It To Gossip and commented: Add your thoughts here... (optional)
The bad thing is this will go down in history as Obama's Katrina...
Yeah, I am sure Obama went into the basement of the White House and turned a big fan on. Until you have experienced a small hurricane don' t make stupid statements.
Is the one that cause the hurricane to begin with. He went into the basement of the Whitehouse and was practicing his voodoo black magic witchcraft and brought the hurricane on. He was the one responsible for the snow blizzard last year as well.
Alright now that Chris Christie's dinner is taken care of can we get the rest of NJ something to eat?
That was too funny! Seriously this is a great story! :)
you depend on fema you starve ..where barry, playing another round of golf at the club?
Chris Christie's bromance with the prez must really eat you up!
Sore loser?
5000 pizzas? Cool! We finally found a use for Herman Cain.
I know. Obama didn't contribute anything.
he immediately passed legislation to declare it a disaster zone so FEMA could come in... so yeah he did nothing, except release tens of millions of dollars to help sandy victims.. oh yeah nothing..pizza vs millions of dollars... you deserve a star, i presume you are in the 1st grade.
So it's 600 pizzas, not 5000 pizzas. Just once I'd like to see CNN get something right, or at least not embellish the facts.
Yeah that's a good point. I mean 600 pizzas is really nothing to write home about.
yeah i donated 10,000 dollars.. i ripped a one dollar bill up into 10,000 pieces.
Who cares that a severe hurricane ripped through New York City two weeks ago. Who cares that thousands of homeless people in NYC go hungry every day, especially due to overcrowding in shelters. Since last March, Mayor Bloomberg has halted all food donations because the city can't assess their salt, fat and fiber content. Even during the Hurricane Sandy disaster, he is standing behind his band, because it's better to assess the content of donated food than to have people starve to death................................................
And yet – all PRIVATE businesses....
so what is your point?
Knew it wouldnt be that jackass Papa John giving out pizzas. Too busy counting his money and worrying about providing health insurance for his employees.
You are so right!
Actually, Papa John's has been giving out free pizzas in Lower Manhattan for several days. I stopped on my way home tonight to thank them for what they were doing. They said they've given out around 6,000 pizzas and are planning on being there through Wednesday. Great company!
This should also take care of the gas shortage...
The only advantage NY/NJ has is that there are neighboring states a short drive away... in Florida when this happens, you're stuck like chuck!
It doesn't matter how long the drive is, it won't help if you don't have the gas in your car to get there.
Well that will make you plan next time. Contingency! Contingency! Contingency! Live by that word within reason or suffer the consequences.
Not sure about you, but I filled up my tank and containers prior to Sandy coming in. Wonder how many of these people did? My guess, not many AKA UNPREPARED. I saw plenty of New Yorkers in southwest CT getting gas and filling up containers, making the drive up here to ensure they had gas for their generators / car.
lol true. I guess for those who fueled up before the storm, it helps.
My company donated $500,000 and is doing dollar for dollar donations as well...so far over $1 million has been given.
So? Whaddaya want – a cookie?
you get a road cookie for that smarta** remark
AWESOME!!!!!! wish my company would do something like that!
I bet the company finds a way to get it all back at income tax time
If you claim any type of write off or exemptions on your annual 1040, you are a hypocrite.
And Sarah Palin donated 3 stale mooseburgers and a large platter of s'mores.
You have zero talent at trying to be sarcastic. Not even close to being funny. You should just stop wasting our time with comments like that.
You should stop wasting my time with comments like yours.
That's your response? LOL Get yourself an education and then come back and comment.
You three may want to try and 'get a life' too!
Wow! Are you for real? Where did that come from? You obsessed with Sarah? haaa Don't get me started on the nimrod that is YOUR vice president. haa He thought he was campaigning for slick willy! haaaaaa
Laughing at palintwit, that is.
That's funny, I don't think she can count to 3
She gave more than Obama Biden did combined :)
BostonSteve... Actually, I am very educated. I have a masters in political science from Sarah Palin University.
Again with the attempted sarcasm. Please honey, you are not original, you are not funny, and frankly you bore me. Please leave now.
BostonSteve... I just wanted to mention that I think it's very nice of your trailer park manager to let you play with his computer all day. I hope you return the favor.
Palintwit.....don't forget to clean around the bowl. You missed that last time and you know what happened.
BostonSteve... I think you have me confused with Bristol Palin.
Go away, Steve (please)
BostonSteve, you might want to look up sarcasm in the dictionary before you go talkin' smack. Just sayin'.
Palintwit – I would see help. Your hatred of the Palins borders along the lines of obsession. That can't be good for you, as it certainly has not helped your sense of humor. Get help fast.
I would never vote for anyone named Palin, but seriously, man......I am almost expecting you to tell me that "I am the weakest link. Goodbye," after your next Palin insult directed at me
Yeah – you have a masters alright. A masters in stupidity. I hope Republicans give this administration the same cooperation they have received over the years. NONE. Good luck!
I'm gonna go watch me some nascar !! Yeeehhhhaaawwwww !!
People...............there are MANY MORE great, giving, and honest people here than idiots and liars.................
Meanwhile, the good people of Long Island continue to be basically ignored!
Cry me a storm, ya Brooklyn baby.
that's because of this bizarre concoction known as LIPA, which i just learned about this weekend (i don't live on Long Island). basically just an extra layer of bureacracy for political patronage jobs. no wonder it takes forever to fix things. how the hell did people get away with establishing that?!!? it's a damn shame some innocent people are victims of that.
I'm sure they aren't ignored on PURPOSE... help will come. The more people like you and I get involved, the quicker places like Long Island can get help.
Just goes to prove to all that the federal governemnt and the Red Cross are worthless. Private donations from individuals and corporations will ALWAYS help out. Obama got his 15 minutes of fame for a photo op.
...and your contribution was what?
I got my power restored late Saturday night (the 10th), after basically 12 full days in the dark. All kudos go directly to the out-of-town crew (I think they were from Alabama) that worked to restore the power on my block. LIPA can go to hell. Everyone knows they're nothing but bureaucrats with no real sense of a utility background. We LI'ers miss the days of LILCO.
Thank you for that uninformed statement. Please go back to your room where you can continue to watch more b s you take in as gospel. LIPA has been working as fast as possible to help. FEMA and Red Cross are both spread out across multiple states trying to help as many people as possible. More than half of those on Long Island that lost power have had it restored. But you can continue to be uneducated and bitter, if that works for you. But don't try to spread your uninformed hatred here. If you are in an area affected, seek out the help that is available. If you are unaffected, try helping out.

Classic match
Metz 1-3 West Ham UnitedUEFA Intertoto Cup Final Second Leg24 August 1999
West Ham United booked their place in the UEFA Cup with a 3-1 win at FC Metz in the final of the Intertoto Cup on this day 15 years ago.
The Hammers trailed 1-0 from a first leg defeat at the Boleyn Ground, but overcame that setback in style in France.
Trevor Sinclair put West Ham 1-0 up in the first half, and Frank Lampard gave them the advantage in the tie for the first time on 43 minutes.
Metz gave themselves hope with a Nenad Jestrovic goal with 68 minutes played, but the Hammers won the tie with a Paulo Wanchope goal ten minutes later.
West Ham would go on to see off Osijek in the first round of the UEFA Cup, but bowed out in round two to Steaua Bucharest.

Solid victory for Oakland today. Nothing special, but the Raiders took care of business at home against a weaker team. It could have been a trap game after a big win in Houston and with three division rivals waiting, but the Raiders dug in while battling the emotions attached to their first home game sans Al Davis and came away victorious despite losing their starting quarterback.
But with Jason Campbell reportedly done for the remainder of the season with a broken collarbone, there's gotta be a simmering fear that Oakland won a battle Sunday while actually hurting their cause in relation to the war.
Campbell wasn't putting up Pro Bowl numbers, but he was doing a formidable job as the starter in Oakland. The Raiders' offense runs through Darren McFadden, and it's Campbell's job to keep defenses honest by keeping them from stacking the box to limit Oakland's running game. Without him, they'll suffer.
Now you have to wonder if the Raiders will look for a quarterback. Kyle Boller is a decent backup, but does anyone really believe he can manage the offense during a playoff run? They'd be better off giving a shot to a guy like David Garrard, who ran a similar offense in Jacksonville. Garrard's 2010 numbers were far better than Campbell's, and the team has $6 million in cap space, so money shouldn't be a major issue.
After hosting the Chiefs next week, the 4-2 Raiders have two weeks to prepare for Denver. Both of those games are at home, so Oakland doesn't have to travel again until they head to San Diego Nov. 10. That's also the next time they play a team with a winning record, and it could be the biggest game they have all season. The smart move? Bring in a veteran like Garrard and let him compete with Boller in practices and "games" over the next few weeks.
And then maybe he'll be able to save a potentially special season in the nick of time.

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 Jenni - Sweet Bulldog!
Facts about Jenni - Sweet Bulldog
- Breed: American Bulldog
- Color: White - With Black
- Age: Adult
- Size: Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
- Sex: Female
Jenni - Sweet Bulldog's Info...
I am already spayed, housetrained, purebred, up to date with shots, good with kids, good with dogs, and not good with cats.
Jenni is a female American Bulldog, 70 lbs, and roughly 5 years old. Despite all she has been through, she is one of the nicest dogs we've ever met. She came into a high kill shelter in California thin as a rail and still lactating. Probably she was either put out in the cold like yesterday's garbage by a backyard breeder after having her last litter or gave birth in the streets as a stray and lost her babies. She also had an injured eye and bloody ear. (A picture shows Jenni in the shelter on the list to be put to sleep.) But this story has a happy continuation: in her final days at the shelter, Jenni was rescued. She came to Seattle in mid-December.
01/02/13: Now Jenni is back up to a healthy weight, her eye is better, and the infection in her ear is almost gone. However, Jenni has been diagnosed with cancer (squamous carcinoma, due to too much exposure to sunlight and Jenni's light color) in her left ear. She has had an x-ray and samples taken from her glands and the cancer has not spread. However, Jenni's ear will have to be amputated. We are raising money for her surgery. More importantly, we are hoping for a happy ending to Jenni's story to find her a foster or forever home that will love her for the rest of her life.
Jenni is sweet, docile, playful, and medium energy. She loves to sleep, have down time, and take car rides, but also loves to run around and play with her foster dad and the other foster dogs. She seems good around the little dogs. She seems to think the foster's cats are food. She is not aggressive with them and we're trying to train her out of it, but she's not there at least quite yet...maybe a dog-savvy cat would be fine. Jenni is very social and good with human adults and children alike. She is crate trained and housebroken.
Jenni's adoption fee is $250 and includes her spay, basic vaccinations, rabies vaccination, heartworm tested negative, health certificate, and microchip. At this time of year, dog rescues need all the help they can get to make sure dogs are in warm, safe foster homes to be ready for adoption. Please email email@example.com for an adoption application or to get in touch to foster (Jenni is currently in temporary foster in Seattle).
Other Pets at Red Waggin' Rescue - Connell Chapter
Why Adoption is a Great Option
Jenni - Sweet Bulldog, a Seattle American Bulldog dog was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a American Bulldog for sale in Seattle, or seeking a American Bulldog dog from a breeder in Seattle.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Seattle 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 Seattle 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 American Bulldog breeders who help with American Bulldog rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Seattle paves the way for another one to be saved.

Hotel Splendido
The most ardent travelers collect hotel experiences the way other people collect 17th-century Tuscan school paintings, or Hannong faïence, or Marvelettes memorabilia. Every stay in a world-class property is another notch on their belt. A shortlist of such hotels in Italy is a cinch to compose. The Scalinatella on Capri. The Villa San Michele in Fiesole. The Pellicano in Porto Ercole. The Sirenuse and the San Pietro in Positano. The Cipriani in Venice. And, of course, the Splendido in Portofino.
The Portofinesi don't mind admitting that Hollywood put their tiny fishing village on the map. When in the 1960's a wasp-waisted Elizabeth Taylor strolled the quay in a head scarf, it was the shot seen round the world. Portofino became the proto—Italian port, the one against which all others were measured for beauty and charm. It holds up today, even if the access road is so choked in summer that an electronic sign flashes the waiting time for entering town.
Nostalgic evocations of il jet set are still used to sell Portofino and the 66-room Splendido, a former Benedictine monastery with an eagle's-nest setting above the sea. The hotel, launched in 1901, acquired what-becomes-a-legend-most status long before it was purchased by Orient-Express Hotels in 1983. But it may have taken the company's hairsplitting ministrations for the Splendido to realize its promise.
While it's nice to think that anyone is capable of recognizing chic and appreciating luxury, the hotel seems geared to that one-half of one percent who have seen it all. Back home, these people may live with richly grained olive-wood floors, his-and-her armoires, and a pop-up TV in a mirrored cabinet at the foot of the bed. But this is the first time they're seeing them in a hotel room.
As a guest, I had the palpable feeling that not only had everything been considered and reconsidered, but that the reconsideration had been reconsidered, too. I can just imagine the agony involved in choosing stainless-steel wastebaskets or in deciding to place the tissue box in a vanity drawer. (I'm still trying to figure out that one, but I'm sure the hotel has its logic.) Surrounded by terraced gardens planted with cypresses and agaves, the Splendido's pool was one of the great hotel pools anywhere even before an edge was recently lowered to create the requisite infinity effect. As on Park Avenue, no one is shy about digging in a few hundred marigolds in full bloom just to brighten things up. Perhaps it was the flowers that enticed a Florida couple to spend five consecutive weeks at the Splendido last year. This year they're booked for six. At $1,875 a night.
The service and food may also have persuaded them. Being addressed in the third person—as in, "If the gentleman would be so kind as to follow me this way"—is weird at first, but definitely something I could get used to. The maîtres d'hôtel who work the dining terrace know exactly what time the sun hits every table, and help you choose yours accordingly. The restaurant does not serve Ligurian fare dumbed down for tourists, as I feared, but the real thing, such as black-olive gnocchi with burst cherry tomatoes and basil.
The best things in life are free. Well, maybe not.
Hotel Splendido, 16 Viale Baratta, Portofino; 800/223-6800 or 39-0185/267-801, fax 39-0185/267-806; www.splendido.orient-express.com; doubles from $840, two or more nights from $596. The hotel also operates the Splendido Mare, an annex on the town's waterfront piazzetta; prices are 20 percent lower and guests have privileges at the Splendido.

Here is a list of other organizations that help owners that cannot afford vet care. Some assist rescue organizations and homeless pets.
American Animal Hospital Association www.aahahelpingpets.org (866) 4HELPETS "The heartbreak happens all too often? A pet owner is unable to afford treatment and their sick or injured companion animal pays the price. If the owner is elderly, disabled or on a fixed income, the cost of care may be too much of a stretch for their pocketbook. Perhaps they have been victimized by crime, property loss or a job layoff and are experiencing a temporary financial hardship? Making it too difficult to afford pet care. And some animals, brought to clinics by Good Samaritans, don't have an owner to pay for treatment. Whatever the situation, the fact remains the same: When sick or injured animals are unable to receive veterinary care, they suffer. Through the AAHA Helping Pets Fund, veterinary care is possible for sick or injured pets even if they have been abandoned or if their owner is experiencing financial hardship."
Angels 4 Animals www.angels4animals.org (916) 941-9119 "Angels4Animals, a non-profit organization and a program of Inner Voice Community Services, has a mission to serve as the guardian angel of animals whose caretakers find themselves in difficult financial situations. At Angels4Animals we believe that animal owners should not have to say goodbye to the animals that they love. Our work is accomplished in conjunction with veterinary clinics across the country, eager to assist as many animals, and their owners, as possible. Our services range from financial aid to complete treatment to those pets and pet owners in need."
Care Credit www.carecredit.com (800) 859-9975 A credit card company for health care, including veterinary care. "Care Credit, the leader in patient/client financing, has helped more than 3 million patients/clients get the treatment or procedures they needed and wanted. With a comprehensive range of plan options, for treatment or procedure fees from $1 to over $25,000, we offer a plan and a low monthly payment to fit comfortably into almost every budget."
Cats in Crisis www.catsincrisis.org "Cats in Crisis Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping individuals and humane organizations care for cats with chronic or emergency medical conditions through financial and fundraising assistance."

The Feline Veterinary Emergency Assistance Program is a nonprofit 501 (c)(3) organization that provides financial assistance to cat and kitten guardians who are unable to afford veterinary services to save their companions when life-threatening illness or injury strikes.
Help-A-Pet www.help-a-pet.org (630) 986-9504 "Our efforts focus on serving the elderly, the disabled, and the working poor. For lonely seniors, physically/mentally challenged individuals and children of working parents, pets represent much more than a diversion."

STARelief and Pet Assistance www.starelief.org (203) 883-0325 "STAR's long term vision is to ensure that no Connecticut pet guardian will ever have to abandon their pet due to economic hardship, and to ensure that all companion animals are treated with the dignity and respect that they deserve."
The Pet Fund www.thepetfund.com (916) 443-6007 "The Pet Fund is a registered 501(c) 3 nonprofit association that provides financial assistance to owners of domestic animals who need urgent veterinary care. Often animals are put down or suffer needlessly because their owners cannot afford expensive surgery or emergency vet visits. Companion animal owners must often make the difficult decision to put an animal down or neglect urgent medical needs because of the costs involved. The purpose of the Pet Fund is to work towards a future where decisions about companion animal medical care need never be made on the basis of cost."

RE: Question about Quartz counter top Installation (Follow-Up #1)
posted by: gracesantacruz on 01.19.2010 at 08:40 pm in Kitchens Forum You may have figured this out by now from the contracter, but countertop people should do plywood underlayer. It has to be to guarantee the right fit to the quartz - too many things can go wrong if someone else does it. They screw the plywood into the cabinet.
They use a epoxy-like cement between the quartz and plywood - they will float the slab on a large amount of gooey glue, then while the glue starts to cure, they adjust the height with wood screws from below to level precisely. Then the glue sets within 10-20 minutes or so, then it's done. NOTES: <none>

Stone Information and Advice (& Checklists)
posted by: buehl on 04.14.2008 at 02:56 am in Kitchens Forum First off, I want to give a big thank-you to StoneGirl, Kevin, Joshua, Mimi, and others (past and current) on this forum who have given us many words of wisdom concerning stone countertops.
I've tried to compile everything I saved over the past 8 months that I've been on this Forum. Most of it was taken from a write-up by StoneGirl (Natural stone primer/granite 101); other threads and sources were used as well. So...if the experts could review the information I've compiled below and send me comments (here or via email), I will talk to StarPooh about getting this on the FAQ.
In an industry that has no set standards, there are many unscrupulous people trying to palm themselves off as fabricators. There are also a number of people with odd agendas trying to spread ill rumors about natural stone and propagate some very confusing and contradictory information. This is my small attempt at shedding a little light on the subject. Slab Selection: On the selection of the actual stone slabs - When you go to the slab yard to choose slabs for your kitchen, there are a few things you need to take note of:
Tests (especially for Absolute Black) (using a sample of YOUR slab):

How hard is it to turn a toilet 90 degrees?
posted by: sandsonik on 09.01.2009 at 01:12 am in Plumbing Forum My half bath is little more than a closet, and I just removed the sink and the toilet to put up beadboard and replace the fixtures.
I made the interesting discovery that the toilet rough-in is 12 inches from the back wall as well as the left wall. The toilet was backed up to the left wall, though we always thought it would have made more room to have it the other way. So, I guess it may be an option to move it after all, but there are two problems. One is that the water supply line is likely too far forward - the pipe comes straight up from the basement and looking at it from the basement, I now think I understand why the toilet is where it is; it won't be easy to get a pipe up near that back wall, through some other pipes. Assuming that either we can do that, or that the current location is workable, I have a second question - can the closet flange be rotated, or is there any kind of adaptor for such a job? I apologize in advance that I haven't closely inspected the flange yet, haven't really cleaned it up yet. I'm sure it's a cast iron flange and probably from the 40s or 50s, tops. I guess I should have gotten all the info about its condition for you first, but I'm kind of excited about the discovery that it may even be possible and just thinking out loud about it! How hard is it to turn a toilet 90 degrees, or do I need to change the flange (or hire a plumber)to do that? My dad's pretty handy, thank God. NOTES: <none>

Home › Academics › Colleges › Collins College of Business › Health Sciences Programs Offered by School of Nursing › School of Nursing › Research › Stress and the Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner
Kathleen Strunk, Clinical Assistant Professor in the School of Nursing, is part of the transdisciplinary group of scholars at TU committed to advancing knowledge about traumatic stress studies in partnership with the Tulsa community. Examples of these stress studies include violence against women, and crime victimization. She is currently completing a literature review investigating the turnover rate and job stability of nurses in programs such as Tulsa Sexual Assault Nurse Examiner (SANE) Program. She is specifically examining characteristics such as personality, organizational empowerment and job satisfaction as predictors for long-term employment in what is considered by most to be a highly stressful occupation. Her work is part of a larger project of the Tulsa Institute for Trauma Abuse and Neglect (TITAN). The TITAN Institute was developed to address issues of trauma, abuse, and neglect, bringing together the interests, expertise and talents of several faculty members across the university to address the complex issues related to traumatic experiences. The goal is to use multiple areas of expertise to address problems related to violence and its effects.
Strunk's interest in abuse developed from her specialty of mental health nursing. She is an Advanced Practice Clinical Nurse Specialist certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Center and licensed in Oklahoma. She maintains a clinical practice at Laureate Psychiatric Clinic and Hospital and teaches mental health nursing in the program. Mental health nursing concepts are integrated throughout the nursing program from Sophomore to Senior classes. Nursing students have clinical experiences in outpatient and inpatient psychiatric facilities during their senior year, supervised by Stunk.

How to fix professions for Mists of Pandaria: An open letter to Blizzard {WoW}
Mar 12th 2012 3:38PM The easiest and best way to fix professions would be to stop designing them around the pacing of progressive raiding. Most of the stuff we get for professions are pretty bland and boring stat buffs because anything else MIGHT make an encounter a little easier than intended *rolls eyes*.
How cool would it be to be able to craft gems that would add procs to your attacks or spell casts, and the more of that particular gem you stack the better the proc would be. I for one would love to see the return of weapon oils and leatherworker drums. Professions should be the way to bring in needed buffs for dungeons and raids instead of the homogenization of the classes we are getting now.
Anyways, I just feel kind of annoyed at the current state of professions because of it's preceived effect on progressive raiding and the thought that it would be manditory to farm. I was never manditory, there was always the option to buy your needed items off the AH if you did not feel like farming.
Does WoW need more minigames? {WoW}
Mar 9th 2012 9:13PM The talk about farming brought up memories of the grand daddy of MMOs Ultima Online. In there there was a gardining system. You would plant seeds then you would have to long on each day to water and add neutrients to the pot. Then about a week later a plant would pop up which you could use to harvest seeds or, If I remember correctly, you could cross polynate different plants to get different seeds. It was a pretty fun system.
Breakfast Topic: What game mechanic should be dumped? {WoW}
Oct 2nd 2011 8:35AM I have to disagree. It's those little things about the game that I loved doing. Going out and whacking on mobs to level various weapon skills, or going around to the different areas to level lockpicking was fun and relaxing for me. It gave me something to do, a goal to shoot for for those days when the guild had nothing on schedule. Now a days there are not very many goals to shoot for on your character other than getting a certain piece of gear for a certain slot.
I know I'm probably in the minority, at least a vocal one, that wishes that blizz would bring back weapon skill, lock picking, rogue poision etc. back in to the game. It's always been the little things, not the overall main focus of the game, that has kept me coming back for more. Sadly, it seems like those little things are being taken away from the game.
Blood Pact: Do warlock pets need to be redesigned? {WoW}
Apr 4th 2011 6:39PM The Succubus is actually an amazing PvP pet for Destruction. The Soul Fire proc from the imp, at least in my experience, doesn't happen enough in PvP to make the pet of any use. The Felhunter, well, people expect that. The amount of control that the succubus offers destruction is simpily amazing in the right hands.
Generally I've considered the Felhunter the affliction PvP pet of choice and the Succubus destructions PvP pet of choice.
Raid Rx: What druid and shaman cooldowns would you like to see? {WoW}
Feb 18th 2011 2:51PM Honestly, most of the mechanics that people mention are already played out and used in some form or another on different classes. What I'd like to see is some form of cooldown that places a buff on the target which causes them to be healed for a certain percentage of the damage they do, or maybe some sort of debuff placed on the mob that does the same thing, heals for a certain percentage of damage done to them.
Insider Trader: Review of Jewelcrafting in Wrath of the Lich King {WoW}
Mar 29th 2010 5:49PM I think they should change the daily for professions to something akin to the bulk order deed system from UO.

Department of Mechanical Engineering
Home › Academics › Colleges › College of Engineering and Natural Sciences › Departments and Schools › Department of Mechanical Engineering › Programs of Study › Graduate and Professional Programs › Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering
The principal objectives of the Ph.D. program are to provide students an opportunity to reach a thorough understanding of the scientific and engineering principles underlying their fields of interest, to develop the ability to apply these principles creatively to engineering problems, and to develop research skills.
At least one 6000 or 7000-level course in thermal sciences and one in solid mechanics areas are required. All courses taken for graduate credit in this program shall be selected from those listed in the Graduate Bulletin and the choices are subject to the approval of the advisors.
24 hours12 hours6 hours
Students may be required to complete prerequisite undergraduate courses without graduate credit, resulting in a program of more than 72 semester hours. Not more than 12 hours of transfer credit beyond the master's degree from an accredited institution may be counted toward the course requirements and must be approved by the mechanical engineering graduate coordinator.
Language and Residence. There is no foreign language requirement for the Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering. At least two consecutive semesters in residence at The University of Tulsa as a full-time student are required.
Advisory Committee. Students in the Ph.D. program will be advised initially by the mechanical engineering graduate coordinator. The student should select a general research area and a research advisor or co-advisors for the dissertation within two semesters following enrollment in the program. The advisor or co-advisors, after consultation with the student, recommend the other members of the advisory committee to the Graduate Dean. The advisory committee must have at least four graduate faculty members, two of whom must be from outside the discipline of concentration, and one of whom may be a qualified expert in the research area from outside the university. The student must present a research proposal for approval by the advisory committee before completion of the second year of study. The advisory committee approves the rest of the student's course work, reviews progress, approves program changes and the dissertation topic, recommends the student for candidacy upon completion of requirements, and administers the final dissertation oral examination.
Qualifying Examinations. A student must take a qualifying examination during the semester after completing nine hours toward the Ph.D. degree. If the student fails the examination, it can be taken a second time in the following semester. Examinations are given each year during the fall and spring semesters and are administered by the mechanical engineering graduate program advisor. The Mechanical Engineering graduate faculty determine whether a student passes or fails the qualifying examinations.
Candidacy. A student must apply for candidacy after a minimum of 45 hours of course work have been successfully completed, the qualifying examination has been passed, and the research proposal has been approved.
Dissertation. Each candidate must write a dissertation on the results of his/her research. The dissertation must demonstrate the candidate's abilities to independently investigate the area of interest and must contribute to some field of science or engineering. The dissertation must follow the Graduate School's recommended procedures for submission to the student's advisory committee, and before final typing or reproduction must be presented to the full advisory committee for examination and review. The dissertation must be microfilmed and published in Dissertation Abstracts. The dissertation is graded on a pass-fail basis.
Final Oral Examination. Each candidate must pass a final oral examination before the advisory committee. The examination will consist of a public defense of the dissertation, the general field of the dissertation, and other parts of the program selected by the committee. The advisory committee recommends the candidate to the Graduate Dean for the Ph.D. degree upon successful completion of the final oral examination and acceptance of the dissertation. Passing grades must be obtained in all the dissertation hours to fulfill degree requirements.

On October 5, 2010, Judge Bruce Black of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois (the "Bankruptcy Court") issued a ruling in the River Road Hotel Partner LLC, et. al. (the "Debtors") bankruptcy cases denying the Debtors' bid procedures motion incident to plan confirmation. The bid procedures motion, among other things, sought the denial of secured creditor's right to credit bid. Judge Black ultimately ruled that the Debtors may not use section 1129(b)(2)(A)(iii) to deny secured creditor's right to credit bid, and the Debtors failed to show sufficient cause to deny credit bidding under sections 1129(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 363(k).
Prior to filing their bid procedures motion, the Debtors, owners of the InterContinental Hotel Chicago O'Hare1, negotiated the primary economic terms of an asset purchase agreement to sell substantially all of their assets to O'Hare River & Technology Hotel LLC (the "Stalking Horse Purchaser") for $42 million in cash. The asset purchase agreement was filed contemporaneously with the bid procedures motion. The Debtors stated in their bid procedures motion that the Stalking Horse Purchaser's bid would be subject to a continued marketing effort and higher or better offers. The Debtors intended to execute the sale of substantially all of their assets in connection with a Chapter 11 plan (the "Plan Sale") free and clear of liens, pursuant to sections 1123 and 1129 of the Bankruptcy Code, specifically, section 1129 (b)(2)(A)(iii) or in the alternative 1129(b)(2)(A)(ii) and 363(k).
The Debtors' proposed bid procedures stated that "no holder of a lien on any assets of the Debtors shall be permitted to credit bid pursuant to section 363(k) of the Bankruptcy Code."
The Bankruptcy Code provides two methods by which a debtor may sell substantially all of its assets. The first is a sale conducted pursuant to Bankruptcy Code section 363 and the second is pursuant to a plan under Bankruptcy Code section 1123(b).
