However, in order to comply with the terms and conditions the `seller's own insurance policy, notification of loss or damage to the goods must be made to the seller in writing, within 10 working days of the date of dispatch, failing which no claim in respect of such loss or damage will be entertained by the seller.
The seller does provide an option for UK buyers to take out insurance/recorded delivery, it should be understood that unless this option is taken by the buyer all goods will be sent standard delivery in which case claims can only be made up to a maximum cost of £27.
Unless specifically agreed otherwise than in writing by the seller, the date of any delivery notified by the seller to the buyer is an estimate only and the seller shall not be liable for the consequences of any delay in fulfilling the buyers order. Goods are delivered by carriers over whom the seller has no control and therefore the seller shall not be liable for the consequences of any delay in transit. In the events of goods ordered and subsequently returned for any reason the seller reserves the right to affect a handling charge.
Faulty items can be returned for a full refund or replacement at the discretion of the buyer. Any unopened and unused items can be returned within 7 days for a full refund minus the seller's postage costs incurred. Returned items will be checked and if found to be used or opened, no refund will be given and a charge to re-post will be made. The seller will not be responsible for any return costs in this situation. You must notify the seller in writing within 7 days of receipt of goods if you wish to return part or all of your order. Refunds will be made by the seller within 14 days of receipt of goods.
Any goods returned after the 7 day period will be subject to a 20% restocking fee. The seller must be able to resell goods in as 'new condition'. Any goods where packaging has been damaged and therefore rendered un-resalable will not be refunded. Please make sure you have purchased the correct item for your needs before opening any packaging.
Please note that custom made products such as cut to length cable is non refundable.
The buyer will inspect the goods on arrival and if they do not correspond in nature to the goods ordered, will give the seller written notification of any discrepancy within 7 days of the despatch, failing which the buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the goods.
The photographs, dimensions, specifications and type numbers on this site are shown only as a guide, and although we will usually supply the exact product shown, we reserve the right on occasions to supply similar to items but of detail differences.
The seller makes every effort to ensure the accuracy of the advertised information, therefore can accept no liability for damages or injury arising directly or indirectly from any error or omission in such information.
The seller guarantees that the goods are free from defects and are of satisfactory quality but it is for the buyer to satisfy themselves that the goods are fit and suitable for the purpose for which they require them. Defects in goods delivered shall not be grounds for cancellation by the buyer of the remainder of any order or contract.
It is expressly agreed and understood by the buyer that the seller's liability in respect of defective or otherwise unsatisfactory goods shall under no circumstances whatsoever extend beyond the price paid for such goods, in particular the seller shall not be liable for any damage to property, nor any consequential loss of whatsoever nature, however caused, arising out of any defect in the goods, or from their failure to correspond to any description or representation, or from their unsuitability for any purpose.
If any buyer alleges that goods supplied are defective the buyer will return them, carriage paid, to the seller's premises. If, after examination by the seller, it is established that the goods are defective then the seller will refund the buyer the cost of the carriage and replace the goods or at the seller's absolute discretion refund their purchase price.
The seller reserves the right to vary any price advertised on the site or elsewhere as occasion demands, and the goods are supplied at the price prevailing as at the date of acceptance by the seller of any order placed by the buyer. All prices are inclusive of V.A.T. except where expressly stated otherwise.
Goods described on the site or elsewhere are subjected to a continuing process of technical change and development and the seller therefore reserves the right to alter specifications without notice any time before delivery. All descriptions, illustrations, specifications and dimensions are approximate and are only intended to present a general guideline as to the goods therein. It is therefore agreed by the buyer that the goods supplied may not comply in all respects with the description in the seller's website or elsewhere. If a sample of the goods has been exhibited to and inspected by the buyer the contract shall not constitute a sale by sample.
Although goods supplied by the seller to the buyer shall be at the buyer's risk, immediately on delivery to the buyer (and the buyer should be insured accordingly), the legal ownership in the goods shall not pass from the seller to the buyer until they have been paid for in full. Until property in the goods of passes from the seller to the buyer as foresaid the buyer shall hold the goods as the bailee of the seller. Where the goods are supplied under a Contract Order with delivery in installments over an extended period, then the order is to be regarded as a whole so that property in none of the goods passes until all the goods, the subject of the contract order, have been paid for in full.
If delivery is delayed by any cause beyond the reasonable control of the seller, a reasonable extension of time for delivery shall be granted and the buyer shall pay such reasonable extra charges as shall have been occasioned by the delay.

Student-Scored Behavior Rubrics
By Nicole Sasso January 18, 2011 6:41 pm
In a perfect world, classroom behavior would not be such a challenge. We would establish rules and consequences for our students, and we would enforce them consistently. And there have been years where that system worked well for me.
But one year, when I worked as an interventionist for lower-achieving students and students with behavioral challenges, I knew I needed a better plan. That's when I started using student-scored behavioral rubrics. I was hopeful that I'd see a marginal improvement in student behavior — and, really, I would have been happy with that.
Instead, I experienced a real transformation in how my students behaved and treated each other.
The process is simple enough. Like most elementary school teachers, I start every year with a few simple rules for my class. Those rules may include:
- Raise your hand when you wish to speak
- Keep your hands, feet and objects to yourself
- Listen respectfully when an adult or fellow student is speaking
At the end of each day, I hand my students a small slip of paper that asks them to analyze their behavior. The questions are all aligned with the class rules, such as:
- Did I raise my hand when I wished to speak?
- Did I keep my hands, feet and objects to myself?
- Did I listen respectfully when an adult or fellow student was speaking?
Keep the answering process simple. Students can check "yes" or "no" for some of my questions, or "always," "usually," "sometimes," "not usually" or "never" for others. Students can also write their goals or things they would like to improve on for the next day.
Teachers don't need another procedure added to their days. I get that. But, done correctly, the behavioral rubrics should take less than a couple minutes each day.
I also know that some schools have limits on how much printing teachers can do each marking period or year. I can get six behavioral rubrics on one sheet of paper. So if you have even 30 students in your class, you're talking about using five sheets of paper a day. If you have to buy your own paper, two reams of paper will square you away for a year.
So, even if you have to buy your own paper and are using your own ink, here's my question: Would you spend $40 or $50 a year to dramatically improve student achievement?
For me, it's a no-brainer. Once I started using student-scored behavioral rubrics, I noticed a change almost immediately. First, students understood that they would have to answer for their behavior each day. Second, the rubrics were informative. I had the opportunity to see where my perception of a student's behavior differed from a student's perception. Third, the rubrics were useful discussion starters when I would meet with parents during regularly-scheduled conferences or during conferences called specifically to discuss a student's academic or behavioral problems.
Students would also use the comment field on the rubrics to reach out to me about issues that were affecting them in class. The rubrics created another feedback loop between me and my students.
Here's the question I know you're dying to ask — won't students try to game the system? Won't they inflate their self assessments? Yep. For the first couple days they will. But these assessments are a learning tool and you have the opportunity to discuss with students when you have a different assessment of how they behaved. In my experience, the assessments get honest and accurate pretty quickly, and students benefit from having to take a critical look at their own performance.
These assessments, as simple as they sound, have been a real winner for me. I saw dramatic improvements among students who had reputations as terrors among my colleagues. I saw students begin policing themselves and each other as the classroom rules and behavioral expectations became seared into their minds. They'd even compliment each other if they had particularly good days following the rules.
I find myself using less time on behavioral issues and classroom discipline, and that means more time for instruction. I'll take that trade any day.

Do they get rewarded for good behavior? I know my students would ask, "What do we get or Why are we doing this?"
I laminate the student behavior chart and wipe off and reuse. :}
Hi Jane,
Great question. Ideally, we would want to see our kids be intrinsically motivated and behave because it's the right thing to do. And as of now, I have about 4 students in a class of 25 who are. But I understand that we live in a world where instant gratification is the expectation. Many kids need to see their progress, need to buy into it. And I have also found that it is so easy to get stuck focusing on the negitive behaviors of children who require constant discipline, that the appropriate behaviors get overlooked or unacknowledged. So, here's what you can do.
At the end of the day, you can have students fill out their rubric and hand it into you. Call them all together on the carpet. Have a bulletin board that is posted with a sticker chart for each kid. As you quickly look at the rubrics, compliment those children who accurately assessed themselves as having an awesome day, slap a sticker on their chart. When that chart is filled, they can have a reward. My current second graders loved the prize box, but they also love 5 minutes of drawing or computer time at the end of the day, or 5 minutes where they can listen to Kidz Bop at the listening center. They especially love lunch dates with me. Keep the rewards simple and manageable (especially for your budget. If there is a child who asks why they weren't acknowledged, ask them to reflect on what may have happened during the day that would have kept them from having an awesome day. Gently remind them if they are not sure. Having very specific criteria on the rubric will help them (and you) identify areas for improvement. Then you can have the conversation where the student can goal set for tomorrow and tell how they can make better choices. -
This sounds like a great strategy. I have been having issues with some students' choosing inappropriate behavior instead of making good choices, and have been racking my brain trying to figure out what I can do to change this. I am going to try this out in my classroom. Thanks for the information.
One question: When and how often do you meet with each student to discuss/review their rubrics after they have scored them?Thanks,
Leslie -
There is a similar system outlined in The New Dare to Discipline, a book for parents and teachers, by Dr. James Dobson.He is a well-known evangelical author and spokesman. Politics aside, some valuable advice in this book. I also liked his love Must Be Tough for married partners having big problems: alocolholism, infidelity, etc.
I am going to try this! Some school years, I have had each child post a goal sheet on their desk and they
quickly check off if they had a good day and felt they had met their goal. If they felt they had met their goal, they would get a sticker and then choose a new goal. The difficult thing was that first graders did not know what kind of goal they should have. I can see using my class rules as beginning goals. I assume you keep and file the rubrics if you use them to conference with parents. Do you have a quick, consistent file method at the end of the day? Thank you for your great idea, sometimes I feel like I am drowning with negative behaviors this year!
Dawn -
This is interesting to me…I am a 5th grade teacher and we recently began using a behavior rubric at the end of the month. I think the component we are missing here is the frequency and having the KIDS complete the survey. I may try this and your chart strategy and see how it sits with my kiddos. Thanks for sharing!
would you be able to post a sample rubric you have used…or email me a copy?
thank -
What age group were these students?
I find this useless for my high school classroom where a big portion of the students do not buy into anything. Great idea though!
High school kids would buy into it if it was set up electronically and if they could (diplomatically) rate a peer. Or so I think. I am an elementary school teacher, but have a son who is a freshman in high school.
I tried this for the first time today, and while many of my students just circled all smiley faces, about 7-8 of them really thought about their days and answered very honestly. It took just 3-4 minutes (including my introduction!), so I expect it will take even less time in the future. I think it's going to be a very good, efficient way of helping my students think about their choices.
I teach a high school behavior classroom, and use a rubric that ties directly to employability for a formal weekly check – but at the end of each period, my check-out is not only a content-appropriate item but a behavior self-assessment conference. I only need to spend about 30 seconds per kid per period (once we got it smoothed out), and it's their participation/employability grade.
Great idea and what a wonderful way to prepare them behaviorally for the real world! I think I may adapt your strategy to "Are you Middle-School Ready?" for my fifth graders, some of whom have more than a mild dose of Spring Fever!
Would you mind sharing a template of what you use? It sounds like a great idea!
Great information thanks for sharing with us!

TO: Superintendents of Schools, Business Managers and Transportation Supervisors
FROM: Susan A. Gendron, Commissioner of Education
DATE: December 23, 2004
The Department of Education has completed the review of all applications for School Bus Subsidy Funds for fiscal year 2006. The results of this review will be posted on the Department's Pupil Transportation website at: http://www.maine.gov/education/const/TransHomepage.htm no later than December 31, 2004. Districts will not receive individual letters notifying them of approvals or denials.
Under the current statute, Title 20-A MRSA, § 5401, total approvals will be limited to an amount established by the Commissioner of Education. The approval limit for cash, note and lease-purchase payments in FY06 is $10 million. All school bus purchases and lease-purchases will be considered separate from transportation program costs and treated as capital expenditures. Subsidy for approved purchases and lease-purchases will be paid in the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which a school bus purchase payment is made. Interest on note and lease-purchase payments will not be included in the subsidy calculation.
To receive subsidy on any purchase or lease-purchase, the purchase must have the prior approval of the Department and a district must submit a completed School Bus Purchase Report (EF-T-20) for each new bus acquired. If a district wishes to change the method or timing of payments for an approved purchase, a request must be submitted to the Department prior to making the change. Districts are also required to submit a properly completed EF-T-20 if they decide to cancel an approved bus purchase. Failure to meet these requirements could result in a loss of subsidy for the district, as well as a decrease in total funds available for bus purchases.
As a final note, the State School Bus Purchasing Program is entering into its fifth contract year. The program offers favorable pricing for a variety of conventional and transit type school buses to meet your needs. To date, over 480 school buses have been purchased through the program. Pricing, specifications and instructions for participation are available on the Department's Pupil Transportation website at the address provided above. Prices listed are guaranteed for buses ordered prior to February 28, 2005. New contract pricing will go into effect after that date. You are encouraged to utilize this program. Your participation will make it possible to negotiate the best possible price for a quality school bus.
If you have any questions regarding school bus subsidy approvals and denials, or the School Bus Purchasing Program, please contact Harvey Boatman at 207-624-6884 or via email at email@example.com .

We have given below, the best guide lines to be followed to have success in marriage.
We have classified all persons according to their Day Numbers. In this classification, we shall start with persons ruled by Day Number 1.
If your Day Number is 1, it is better for you to avoid a life mate ruled by 1. Both of you will be adamant in your views. You can not get along. You will find only those ruled by No. 4, 2 and 8 compatible to you, in that order.
A life mate ruled by 8 will be dear to you and yielding. She or he also holds you as very dear. As 8 is unlucky, you must offset the bad luck by having a lucky name and marriage date. A spouse ruled by 4, will be ideal for you.
Persons ruled by 1 will be dictatorial with their life mates, and this causes bitterness in relationship. They frequently go away from the spouse. If the numbers are weak, they may seek legal separation, or divorce.
If persons ruled by 1 become famous, they tend to mentally drift away from their life mates. Pride, arrogance and self seeking nature, will spoil their intimacy, and will lead to living their own ways like strangers.
This is why, you must ensure numerology compatibility between your day number and that of the ruling numbers of the wedding date. This prevents bad luck with 8 persons and ego problems with the life mate.
Know for certain that you should never get married on dates ruled by 5, 7, 8, or 4, as the Day Number, or the Compound Number. I have personally witnessed cheating, living like cats and dogs, and tragedies in their lives.
If you are ruled by 1, you find a person born on 3, 5, or 6 compatible to you as a life mate. You will have a comfortable life, but you will lack the intimacy. Persons ruled by 4, and 8 will be very affectionate with you.
If you are ruled by number 2 as your day number, you find a natural affinity for a person ruled by number 7. He will make an ideal life mate. Despite differences, life will be sweet due to numerology compatibility.
Be wary of persons ruled by 8. There is no numerology love compatibility. They may even harm you. Both of you will suffer. Those ruled by 9 will not suit you as well. Avoid both as there is no numerology compatibility.
Ruled by 2, you will be highly imaginative and moody. Your spouse will not have the same wave length. You will have a turbulent life. You are most likely to be dragged to court for marital issues.
Ruled by imagination, you will easily fall in love. But your relations will have peaks and troughs in love life. You can not continuously love any one for long times. Numerology compatibility attracts you to 1 and 7.

Hi Cory!
Nice pick for a reading...
I was just wondering if you had thought of placing it on Librivox? Maybe you could even do this for all your readings? Hmmm... just an idea? I don't know if you have heard of it yet. If not, you should check it out, it is a very interesting free audio book project.
All your stuff is FANTASTIC, so I think anyone additional who discovers your fiction via additional websites would be most appreciative!

Tar sands pipeline should get Act 250 review, groups sayBy John Dillon
Vermont Public Radio | January 30,2013Environmental groups say any effort to ship tar sands oil through a northern Vermont pipeline should be subject to the states land use review.
The pipeline company has said it has no current plans to reverse the flow of an existing line to carry the heavy fuel across northern New England.
But the company does confirm it is studying future options for its pipeline.
Back in 2008, oil and pipeline companies announced plans to reverse the flow of the pipeline to carry tar sands oil from western Canada across northern Vermont and New Hampshire to Portland, Maine.
The companies shelved that plan during the economic downturn, and they say it has not been revived. If it ever is, environmentalists say, the project needs to undergo an Act 250 review.
Jim Murphy, senior counsel for the National Wildlife Federation, doesnt believe the denials. He said one company, Enbridge, has a pending application in Canada to ship oil, including petroleum from tar sands, from Ontario to Montreal.
Theyre bringing more crude, which includes tar sands, to Montreal. At least thats their plan. The only logical place to take is down through Vermont and to Portland, Maine, he said.
Murphy said Exxon, which owns the company that operates the line in New England, has met with town officials along the route who have voiced concerns.
They also hosted in December or co-hosted a meeting at the University of New Hampshire to talk about how to deal with tar sands spill risk with officials throughout the region, he said. So we cant point to a direct plan, but theyre certainly not acting like people who do not have a plan to bring tar sands through the region.
Ted OMeara is a spokesman for the Exxon subsidiary, the Portland Pipe Line Co. He said the company has no plans now to reverse the flow and ship tar sands oil. But he left open the possibility that could change.
What the company has been very open about saying is that it continues as it always has to look at various options for using this resource which in the future could conceivably include a project for reversal. But there is not one now, he said.
Environmentalists say tar sands oil is worse than conventional crude because it releases more greenhouse gases. And they say the heavier and more corrosive tar sands oil poses a greater risk of a pipeline break.
Right now, the oil in the 63-year-old pipeline flows the other way west from Portland to a Montreal refinery.
The environmental groups say that a reversal of the flow and a switch to the heavier material would be a change of use that requires a state Act 250 permit.
Douglas Ruley directs the environmental and natural resources law clinic at Vermont Law School. The clinic filed a legal request for the pipeline plan to go through the land use permit process. Ruley said all the signs point to a tar sands proposal.
But if they never ship tar sands oil through this pipeline, thats great, he said. What were doing with this request is putting the mechanism in place that if they do want to ship it through there, then the state and the citizens have a voice in that through the Act 250 process.
Six Northeast Kingdom landowners have joined in the request for Act 250 jurisdiction.
Editors note: The Rutland Herald and Times Argus are pleased to announce the beginning of a partnership with Vermont Public Radio that will expand their state government and legislative reporting. In the first phase of the partnership, legislative reporters from VPR will contribute stories to the newspapers, and the newspaper reporters will contribute on-air reports to VPR. For now, the partnership will focus on legislative and state government news, but there is the possibility of expanded collaboration in the future. The shared purpose of both news organizations in serving the public trust makes this a good match and beneficial to the audiences and the public at large.

Toy Story (1995)
Introduced not one but two indelible characters to the pop culture pantheon: cowboy rag-doll Woody (Tom Hanks) and plastic space ranger Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen).
Anonymous (2011)
From the man who brought you
...a loud and ludicrous historical rewrite about the supposed hidden authorship of Shakespeare's plays.
The Lion King (2011)
It's not hard to understand why
The Lion King
's good-vs.-evil adventure and high-spirited comic passages haven't lost their appeal.
The Tree of Life (2011)
[Malick] wants to see so much: people and through people to their souls, the world and through the world to the ineffable, life and death and through them to their meaning. And...he wants to help us to see it all too.
Margin Call (2011)
Chandor's social critique may or may not stand the test of time, but as all eyes turn to the 'Occupy' movement,
Margin Call
is entirely right for this moment.
Beauty and the Beast (1991)
As far as 'Classic Disney,'
Beauty and the Beast
pretty much has it all. Y'know, for kids (of all ages).
Jackie Brown (1997)
Succeeds as a witty Elmore Leonard crime story...but also as a surprisingly affecting mid-life romance.
Pulp Fiction (1994)
A balls-out postmodern comedy
par excellence
. It's a Royale with Cheese.
Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides (2011)
The problem with attempting to replicate the 'magic,' such as it was, of
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl
is you get something very close to a replica, minus the novelty.
Green Lantern (2011)
On brightest screen, in threest-D,
It's the latest franchisee.
This superhero's super-slight;
Beware two hours...
Green Lantern
Space Jam (1996)
If you weren't a kid when you first saw
Space Jam
, you're a lot less likely to find it palatable.
Pee-wee's Big Adventure (1985)
A purely creative movie that one must admit has no equal in cinema history (for better or worse).
The Bad Seed (1956)
The dark drama that launched a genre of evil-kid movies.
The Cutting Edge (1992)
The only thing that could make
The Cutting Edge
more absurd would be if the final competition revolved around a potentially deadly, possibly illegal move called the Pamchenko Twist. Wait, it does? Never mind.
Four Weddings and a Funeral (1994)
Not everything works out neatly for everyone, but life seems a little better by the end of two hours' struggle, for the characters and for the audience.
Wedding Daze (2007)
Something of a train wreck...[but] comedy scavengers may find it worthwhile to pick through the remains for a few amusing gags.
A Guy Thing (2003)
Cycles through the same old cliches, like squares accidentally being dosed with drugs, overzealous pharmacists blaring out sensitive medical information (nothing like a good ol' venereal disease joke), and climactically scotched weddings.
Honeymoon in Vegas (1992)
The romantic comedy version of its setting: an overgrown theme park that momentarily amuses, wears down the body and spirit, but mentally stays behind.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (2005)
Never stops doling out demented treats....Dahl's morality play of bad parenting and bad-egg kids is evergreen....a genuinely amazing movie.
African Cats (2011)
The characters in the latest Disney film frequently attack each other, sometimes eat each other, and spend the whole time running around naked.
Terri (2011)
doesn't have the reassuring clarity of a straight path from starting block to finish line, its fits and starts are pretty good.
Judy Moody and the Not Bummer Summer (2011)
It'd be nice to report that this film with a still-all-too-rare female protagonist is a great time at the movies, but alas, not so much.
The Ides of March (2011)
Plays out like a game of high-stakes poker, mostly in shades of quiet, intense deliberation.
Machine Gun Preacher (2011)
Butler delivers an unconvincing performance that's part and parcel of a phony film lacking in any narrative subtlety or finesse.
Poltergeist II: The Other Side (1986)
They don't come much more ridiculous...
Last House on the Left (1972)
A depraved exploitation film specifically designed to shock and repulse viewers...also a cultural artifact reflective of and reactive to the time it was made...
O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000)
Even with its mock-pretentious parallelism to
The Odyssey...
O Brother, Where Art Thou?
refuses to take itself seriously, which is both its principal failing and its charm.
The Count of Monte Cristo (2002)
When it comes to swashbucklers, I'll take Wolpert's unmolested molestation of Dumas over
Pirates of the Caribbean
any day of the week.
The Tempest (2011)
Taymor tries a little too hard, neither breaking nor broken by the play, but ultimately losing the wrestling match.
Prom (2011)
Pretty much a non-starter...its squeaky-cleanliness will seem more at home in its inevitable cable afterlife on the Disney channel.
The Twilight Zone: Season 5 (1963)
The Twilight Zone
largely fell into tired repetitiveness in its final season, its crafty tales and spectrum of darkness to humor still stood apart from the television pack...
Warrior (2011)
Undaunted, O'Connor straightens his spine of melodrama and focuses on the task of building up the film's emotional muscle.
X-Men: First Class (2011)
A superb, stylish piece of modern mythology.
Demolition Man (1993)
Doesn't quite go far enough, instead settling for cheap gags and cheap thrills, but it tickles fairly well for a couple of hours of crashes and fireballs.
Assassins (1995)
By the time Rath and Bain have it out in a ramshackle, condemned motel with floors that keep giving away under them, we realize this final setting is a metaphor for the film itself.
The Specialist (1994)
Everyone knows that kitties love homicidal mercenary explosives experts. But for those who don't, there's
The Specialist
, another Sylvester Stallone action picture that's as dumb as a bag of hammers.
Cobra (1986)
Dated and unintentionally laughable,
will always be best known for the catchphrase 'You're a disease and I'm the cure.' Ironically, any audience foolhardy enough to brave this ugly movie is liable to stagger out feeling mighty sick.
Fringe: The Complete Third Season (2011)
In its third year,
continues to 'go there' with a groundbreaking season that gives pretty much equal time to 'our universe'...and the 'parallel universe'...
The Final Destination (2009)
There's absolutely no reason for
The Final Destination
to exist other than the only one Hollywood studios really care about: a cynical cash grab.
A Good Old Fashioned Orgy (2011)
Imagine if the characters on TV's beloved sitcom
lost their lease and decided to mark the end with an orgy...gives new meaning to 'I'll be there for you.'

Per the rules a disordered unit cannot change formation, but can use its formation change to eliminate the disorder. I assume this means that a disordered unit that uses its formation change to remove disorder cannot also change formation in the same action phase too, right?
When a unit uses its formation change to remove disorder it can't change formation too, right?

No. If a unit removes a disorder in the first segment, it can change formation in the second segment, as long as it's not disordered again.
Posted 11 January 2011 - 10:58 AM
Correct, it can't ALSO change formation that segment ... it used that 'time' to go from disordered back to its original formation. It can, of course, change formation in the next segment.

Usually when someone uses the words 'bug' and 'Xbox' in the same sentence, they're talking about frustrating gaming glitches. In this case however, they would be talking about the special tenth anniversary Xbox-branded Volkswagen Beetle. The design features the same color scheme, logos and general aesthetic associated with the Xbox brand.
Unless you live in Mexico, you won't be able to get your hands on one of these beautifully branded Beetles, as they're only available south of the border. In an interesting part of creative marketing, interested purchasers must submit their Xbox Live Gamertag onto Volkswagen's website in order get more information for a purchase. On the flip side, customers will also get a free Xbox 360 console with a copy of Forza Motorsport 4, a popular racing simulation game.

CRANSTON, R.I. -- National Grid estimates that in 2012 the $83-million energy efficiency program in the state supported the equivalent of 529 full-time jobs.
In the report released Wednesday, the company included plumbers and electricians, HVAC technicians and weatherization workers. All were Rhode Island-based and the vast majority were at local companies.
The total payroll for the program was $27 million, with average annual earnings for each job of $51,410, according to the report written by the Boston-based New England Clean Energy Council Institute on behalf of National Grid, the state's dominant electric and gas company.
"For more than 25 years Rhode Island has led the way in creating innovative energy efficiency programs that have cut our customers' energy costs and benefited our environment," Timothy F. Horan, president of National Grid in Rhode Island, said in a statement. "Now we have data to prove energy efficiency is helping to drive the state's economy."
The report was released at a Citizens Bank branch in Cranston that replaced all of its light fixtures with high-efficiency bulbs, improvements that are expected to save the bank $5,000 annually on its electric bill. The work was done by Providence-based Energy Source.

The Continuing Curse
Announcing the revised Curse of the Dark Pharaoh expansion for Arkham Horror |
Arkham Horror | Published 21 March 2011 |
A new exhibit has come to the Arkham Museum of History, featuring some of the oldest and most mysterious relics to be unearthed in Egypt. However, a series of strange events has prevented the exhibit from opening, and now it is rumored that several ancient artifacts have gone missing. The police have increased the number of patrols all over Arkham, and any vigilante investigators will have to evade these bumbling sentries if they hope to get to the bottom of the disappearances...
Fantasy Flight Games is excited to announce the upcoming release of a revised edition of The Curse of the Dark Pharaoh, an expansion for Arkham Horror. An ancient curse has fallen on Arkham, and it is rumored that several mysterious artifacts have gone missing from the "Legacy of the Pharaohs" museum exhibit. Yet, anyone who seeks these lost treasures finds only horror and madness.
The Curse of the Dark Pharaoh (Revised Edition) is an updated version of the original The Curse of the Dark Pharaoh expansion released in 2006.
Why a Revised Edition?
The original Curse of the Dark Pharaoh was the first of Arkham Horror's many successful expansions, and has seen a great number of printings since it was originally published almost five years ago. However, as FFG developed the Arkham Horror play experience over the years, this expansion came to become the one that deviated most from our later Arkham Horror design vision, and over time came to stand apart from the Arkham Horror family as a whole.
With this Revised Edition, the Arkham Horror design team has remade Curse of the Dark Pharaoh from the ground up, incorporated errata, re-balanced cards to better fit with Arkham Horror's current ecosystem, and added new game elements.
For those unfamiliar with this expansion, The Curse of the Dark Pharaoh expansion adds the following to your Arkham Horror board game:
Exhibit Encounters
The Curse of the Dark Pharaoh (Revised Edition) lets Arkham Horror players explore ancient powers through Exhibit Item and Exhibit Encounter cards. Exhibit Items are legendary relics of the mysterious past, able to aid investigators in their fight against the Ancient One, and Exhibit Encounter cards let players search for Exhibit Items specifically.
In the original Curse of the Dark Pharaoh, players could only acquire Exhibit Items through random encounters. However, in this new edition, there is a more direct way to get your hands on these cherished artifacts.
The Ancient Whispers marker moves around Arkham, representing rumors and reports pertaining to the museum's missing exhibit items. Investigators who encounter this marker will draw cards from the Exhibit Encounter deck, potentially finding a powerful weapon or spell. However, strange events often befall all who seek these mystical artifacts, so do not pursue them heedlessly...
The Dark Pharaoh Herald Sheet
The revised edition of The Curse of the Dark Pharaoh includes a Herald sheet for the Pharaoh himself, the Avatar of Nyarlathotep. His dangerous presence makes it more challenging for investigators to uncover the secrets of his artifacts and origins. While his curse affects the town, players will slowly be driven insane by acquiring his wicked relics.
Patrolled Neighborhoods
In light of the strange events happening around Arkham, the police have begun to take notice. No longer can investigators stroll through neighborhoods brandishing their guns and occult paraphernalia without repercussion. Certain Event cards now cause Patrol Markers to be placed on the board, which represent patrol cars keeping a close eye on the neighborhood. Investigators will need to sneak by or risk being arrested.
Other Additions to Arkham Horror
On top of these new additions, The Curse of the Dark Pharaoh (Revised Edition) also contains Benefit and Detriment cards, which provide investigators with good and bad lingering effects. Also included are 90 Ancient One cards, 21 Spells, and 7 Allies.
This expansion will be compatible with the upcoming Miskatonic Horror expansion, which will add new Exhibit Encounter and Exhibit Item cards.
Listen carefully, the ancient whispers are calling. There is no escaping The Curse of the Dark Pharaoh, coming this spring with a retail price of $24.95.
Arkham Horror is a board game of mystery and madness set in Arkham in the 1920's. 1-8 players cooperate to investigate the strange happenings about the town, and race to prevent ancient evil from surfacing.
I'm in. Speaking as one who already has the original the new gameplay mechanics and updated cards are enough for me to plunge on buying the expansion. Thanks for revisiting this FFG. It's going to very difficult to pull my wife away from Mansions of Madness, but things like this certainly help.
Hope FFG offers an "Upgrade" to those of us who own the previous version.
Maybe mail in a certain exhibit item card to prove we each own the expansion.
From the description, it sounds more like a totally revamped expansion. I think I can tough out purchasing a new box, even just to get the great box art.
I echo Blark sentiment. The expansion need an upgrade, but what if I already posses the original?
Sounds like what this expansion needs.
Will those of us who own the original version have a chance to get just the updated components, or will we be foreced to buy a whole new set and replace the old entirely?

Do any of you use a Troybuilt cutivator for your market garden? I was given one for Xmas and booklet tells about it and service and all that but not how to really use it. How do you till between plants with it? I had a real bad weed problem last year. I have irrigation ditches in my garden. |

start it set depth put into gear and till buy practice on somebodys else garden first if you still have a problem send it to me i will pay freight lol really it is about the best to have simple to use just try it dont be afraid make your rows as wide as the tines stake and string them . have fun ed |
- Posted by colorado_west z5 W Co (My Page) on Thu, Jan 5, 06 at 10:26
Thanks Ed, When you start it is in gear I think as says have in the garden and tip it back to start. Got a bail or bar on it like lawnmower guess it does have a stop on it. My rows are like 36 inches apart. I bet that would be fun to get string out. Tomatoes been doing 5 feet. I don't leave string in the garden. Still in box. I have to get a tiller down the rows to ditch it. Cultivate the rows then till the rest?. Can I practise on your garden??? Got me thinking. Iam planing to plant in check rows and till both directions. Any of you do that? |
If you're irrigating using gated pipe, check planting won't work. What will you do with your furrows for the water? If your sprinkling, then maybe it'll work. |
- Posted by colorado_west z5 W Co (My Page) on Sun, Jan 15, 06 at 12:13
When I till I have to take out the water ditches each time and put them back in anyway. Irrigation water full of weed seed and mud so always will have more weeds. Last time before I lay it by I try to get in good deep ditches and hope they will run water rest of season. |

All I can say about a Troy built tiller is hold on!! My kids still remember the first time I used ours. I started out in nice soft soil and the thing dug in just great. When I got to the edge of the bed I was expanding and hit that New ENgland clay the thing took off uphill like a rocket with me holding on for dear life and running to keep up. Did it hurt? not really, just my pride. But they are powerful machines. We bought ours used and we have had it for years with very little maintaining. If you are not sure how to use it in your own garden maybe you can make some extra cash tilling gardens for other people. We have had sucess with that in the spring. |
- Posted by colorado_west z5 W Co (My Page) on Tue, Jan 24, 06 at 10:26
I run a 8 horse Troy tiller. I set my on lowest speed for most stuff. Mine is 4 speed. Yeah it will jump on stumps rocks and such. Never have had hard clay. But clump grass and roots and rocks in new ground it did. What we talking about was a Troy cultivator. It is something different. It is made to just cultivate and go between plants in the row. It wts 27 pounds No power to the wheels. Tines in front. It is a whole new ball game. It is not made to break ground or till up a garden. I never knew Troy made one of these cultivators till I got one for Xmas. |

You must earn 10,000 points to post other members' whiteboard
Hello! I noticed you submit prices for the Sunoco on the corner of Mass Ave and Landsdowne. The three prices they have on the "big board" are 87, 89, and 93... they skip over 91. So you're actually posting the higher price, which might confuse people. The 91 price is on the pumps (you can see them from the street) and is usually 2¢ less than the 93 price.

Having a serious sit-down with immediate family about your own funeral arrangements can be a super downer for some people, but for me it's a necessary conversation that I'm always eager to have with my family.
Why? Because I have the good sense not to put my full trust in those people's event planning skills, that's why. They can barely thaw frozen chicken.
I can say with extreme confidence (the butt naked kind) that without a plan of action, my family would leave my body in a broom closet for weeks following my death like James Brown's folks did him when he went on to glory.
I never thought I would use B.G. lyrics in the proper context to describe a funeral service but damn it, here it goes: "All the hood niggas could feel me, and I ain't hard to find since I got money the hood is where I stil be / Post up, cigarette hanging from my lip."
With a case of Busch beer by her side, a menthol cigarette in her hand, and a disco ball flashing overhead Miriam Burbank attended her last party.
When I get all steamed up then I shout, "Tip me over and pour me out!" Okay, continue.

iVote Mobile 2008–Obama has a 42 Point Lead
August 21st, 2008 by Steve O
It's really no secret that geeks lean heavily towards Obama but this is a pretty cool app that was just released for the iPhone. Download it now from the apps store for free and have fun.
With thousands of users downloading and using the iVote Mobile polling and social networking application on the first day of its release, Obama has a decisive lead over McCain.
Using the revolutionary location awareness system built into the iPhone, iVote Mobile is able to relate poll data and subsequent discussions to geographic location on a global, national, regional and local basis. When taking the entire world's opinion into consideration, iVote users put Obama ahead by 42 points. And while Oklahoma users still have McCain with a slight majority, swing states such as Colorado and Florida remain very close.
Seriously, if you are into this stuff it is very cool. I'll be voting on things at least once a day.
Uniquely American — Uniquely Bush/McCainisms
August 21st, 2008 by Steve O
Does she get any sleep? I wonder where that woman is today? I wonder if she has a home? I wonder if she's happy with her choice of president? I wonder if she's voting McCain?
We can all rest easy tonight knowing McCain has 7+ homes he can't remember but deserves because he was a POW.
I wonder what will end up being McCain's "let them eat cake" moment?
John McCain Cannot Remember How Many Houses he Owns
August 21st, 2008 by Steve O
The Obama camp helps him count to seven.
On a side note, every freedom loving liberal female should own a pair of these.
UPDATE: McCain's camp defends his statement by making us remember he was a POW:
"The reality is they have some investment properties and stuff. It's not as if he lives in ten houses. That's just not the case," Rogers said. "The reality is they have four that actually could be considered houses they could use."
Those four include an apartment in Arlington, a ranch in Sedona, and two condos, in California and Phoenix, he said. The others include "some investment properties and things like that."
He also added: "This is a guy who lived in one house for five and a half years — in prison," referring to the prisoner of war camp that McCain was in during the Vietnam War.
Excellent. McCain has now come out with a comprehensive POW/Veteran plan.
Talk about smoke and mirrors…Jesus H. Christ give me a break!
August 21st, 2008 by Dusty

The GOP, and by proxy, John McCain are pointing to the wealthiest county in all of the U.S. as a means to prove our economy is just fucking ducky and NAFTA works. David Sirota's "Trade Report" for OurFuture.org has some simply friggin amazing stuff in it. From the linkage above:
The New York Times Magazine this week publishes an article by David Leonhardt attempting to explain Barack Obama's fundamental economic ideology. To echo Philip Seymour Hoffman in Almost Famous, "it's a think-piece about a mid-level band struggling with their own limitations in the harsh face of stardom." And, indeed, many of its passages should make Wall Streeters wet themselves. Within the first nine paragraphs, for instance, Leonhardt bills Citigroup Chairman Bob Rubin the "center," despite his deregulatory and pro-NAFTA policies lying far outside the center of American public opinion. That said, the article provides some interesting insights into what Obama will - and will not - do as president.
Another gem, The Roanoke Times has an article up that explores how Obama is stumping in one of the worst hit cities with regard to NAFTA in VA, and how the Rethugs are taunting him to come talk about the horrors of NAFTA in, of all places, Fairfax County.
I lived in Fairfax county. It IS the top rated city for rich folks, believe me. With it's close proximity to DC, just over the river, Fairfax residents, for the most part, LOVE the shit out of NAFTA. Rethug Tommy Davis is retiring but lobbed out this tidbit with regard to Fairfax county and NAFTA:
"What would be courageous is to come to Fairfax County, where you have 362 foreign-owned companies and tens of thousands of employees with foreign-owned firms … and take the same stand up here," said Davis, who is retiring from Congress. (emphasis mine)
The operative word there is 'foreign-owned'. Not American-owned..fucking foreign. Evidently that irony escapes the Republicans..as Sirota notes:
Besides the tone deafness of holding up foreign-owned firms as proof of a solid domestic economy, Davis forgot to mention that according to Forbes magazine, Fairfax County has long been the wealthiest county in the United States - a place where the median (the median!) household income is over $100,000 a year. The county is home to many of the millionaire corporate lobbyists that have been instrumental in the passage of rigged trade deals. Davis citing Fairfax County today as proof that trade policies are working for the vast majority of the country would be like FDR citing the Rockefeller family during the Great Depression as proof that the economy was working for most Americans.
Love it, especially the last line. The next part is sure to jack some jaws. Obama is ass-kissing some of the worst of the worst on Wall Street, namely the same captains of industry that oppose changing NAFTA one iota. From Sirota again:
As reported last week, Obama's campaign is quietly courting the same CEOs that oppose trade policy reform. While there are certainly huge differences on trade between Obama and McCain's stated positions, the two campaigns are both being advised by top executives from UBS, one of the largest investment banks in the world. Indeed, the McCain campaign continues to solicit advice from UBS vice-chairman Phil Gramm, while the Obama campaign has long been shaped by Gramm's UBS boss, Robert Wolf. That kind of Wall Street influence will likely make a fair trade agenda much more difficult in 2009.
Make it difficult? Hell, it will make change impossible dude. The final subject tackled by Sirota in his piece is the much-hated (by me anyway) DLC and their bullshit express:
Ripping a page straight out of George W. Bush's playbook, the Democratic Leadership Council this week attempted to justify its corporate sponsors' trade agenda by writing a Wall Street Journal op-ed insisting that NAFTA-style trade deals fight Islamic terrorism. Yes - you read that right, and the DLC wasn't joking. They really want America to believe that passing trade deals that are unpopular both here and abroad is the way to stop Al Qaeda.
In fact, the BBC's landmark 2008 poll undercuts the DLC's fact-free rhetoric with hard data. The survey of international opinion shows widespread unease with the United States' trade and globalization policies - and that unease is particularly acute in the Middle East, where the DLC claims that NAFTA-style policies will stop terrorism.
As I have said before and I will scream it again…the DLC is not our friend. Never has been and never will be people. To say NAFTA will stop terrorism is fucking outrageous and yes, George Bush-league material. One only needs to look at the economy in Mexico to see that NAFTA hasn't done squat for the common man and woman there. Oh, but the drug cartels are flourishing.

Who watches the watchers?

Here is a perfect response to all the freedom loving neocons out there that respond to our invasion of privacies with "if you did nothing wrong, you have nothing to hide" bullshit.
If you are a neocon or a closet neocon this is a must read. Our privacy is a God (if there is one) given right. If there is no God it's a human right and no one, under threat of harm or otherwise, has a right to take it away from you.
McCain and Ralph Reed Connection
August 20th, 2008 by Papamoka
Does the name Jack Abramoff ring a bell to you? How about his buddy and business partner Ralph Reed of Georgia? If those names don't seem familiar then let me tell you about them. These two guys worked as high power lobbyist with Republican members of the Congress and lavished them with gifts, trips, and anything they wanted to get legislation passed. When it came to the Senate investigation of Jack Abramoff, Ralph Reed, and the corruption they instilled in the Congress John McCain led the Senate in that investigation and did nothing when it came to the all powerful Ralph Reed. Hmmm, wonder why? Over at You Tube they have this possible answer…
Follow the money and you find where the candidate over on the right side of the aisle has his loyalties and John McCain is all about the money. When it comes to dirty money, McCain has only one response, how much have you got and when can I get my hands on it! McCain is dirty and the money trail from big oil to Ralph Reed proves it. Talking patriotism and what you want to hear can cost tons of cash and McCain would make a deal with the devil to get the money he needs to get the Oval Office.
Realistically, McCain is about as believable in his positions on many issues as an Exxon Executive is about cutting the cost of oil. Those thoughts just don't mesh but McCain is taking in tons of cash from Exxon for toting the political line they want to hear. Now Ralph Reed is raising millions for the favors granted by the Senator and paying the debt off. Then again there is this other video from You Tube and McCain hypocrisy…
You be the judge.

President Bush: "Taiwan is Part of China!"
August 20th, 2008 by Tom Harper
George W. Bush interrupted his vacation in Crawford for a photo op in Orlando, FL at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention. He told them: "The breakaway province of Taiwan is part of China! The United States of America will continue to support Mainland China."
Oh wait — Georgia, not China. Doh! OK, let's see now…the Chinese had better keep their grubby mitts off their breakaway region of Taiwan, or else! And the United States will help the Georgian government do whatever they need to do — whatever it takes! — to strangle South Ossetia and Abkhazia into submission. Fuck 'em where they breathe! OK, I get it now.
Pat Buchanan brings up a scary thought. Yes, that Pat Buchanan, the racist xenophobe who wants to turn the clock back to the 1800s. When he's right, he's right. A broken clock is still right twice a day.
If Georgia had already been a member of NATO — as the Bush Administration was pushing for — when this civil war started, guess where the United States would be fighting right now, as we speak. Georgia's NATO membership would have forced us to send American soldiers to Georgia, so they could fight against Russian soldiers.
Oh boy, war with Russia!!! No, that's not an earthquake you feel. It's the simultaneous orgasm of every rightwing mouthbreathing chickenhawk in the country.
Pat Buchanan says:
"If the Russia-Georgia war proves nothing else, it is the insanity of giving erratic hotheads in volatile nations the power to drag the United States into war… had George W. Bush prevailed and were Georgia in NATO, U.S. Marines could be fighting Russian troops over whose flag should fly over a province of 70,000 South Ossetians who prefer Russians to Georgians."
Somebody, somewhere please put the brakes on that psycho in the White House.

The second webinar of the TSDigs event series focused on video production. The webinar, Capturing Your Story on Camera, featured David J. Neff, co-founder and CEO of Lights. Camera. Help.
Neff began by advising organizations to approach capturing video much as a professional director would. The same principles that make a good movie also make a good nonprofit video. As such, the staff behind the video will have to approach video work in a different manner than they do their day-to-day work.
Video direction and production will involve tasks such as asking difficult questions, like asking your subject to change their outfit because the color does not look good on camera, and so on.
To develop a well-produced video for your organization, Neff shared the following key tips used by the pros.
The tips above provide a solid foundation for creating effective and professional-looking videos, however, Neff does advise getting some practice. In the meantime, organizations looking for more expert advice should visit the TechSoup Digital Storytelling Challenge site for information on upcoming educational events, recaps from past events, and links to more resources.
