Arthur and Gwen Fan fiction Article
Of Corsets and Pendragon Red
A lunch-hour conversation on Tumblr about Gwen's clothes, and how we'd both like to see her in Pendragon red next season, led to my brain creating this:
"Arthur what are you-," Her words are swallowed in his fierce kiss, and Guinevere succumbs with a low moan. His hands roam her breasts, feeling the tightened nipples through satiny fabric. Arthur shoves the neckline down to take one taut nipple in his mouth, and his hands fumble at the crimson folds of her skirt. "Arthur…Arthur not here…," she gasps, her head spinning, delicious warmth spreading from the tips of her breasts to her toes. They're behind some pillars in the hallway leading to the chambers. They had barely made it out of the Great Hall before he'd dragged her behind them to push her against the wall with his mouth and very very ready body. "Here, now," he growls against her throat, before sliding a firm hand under her thigh and positioning himself. His fingers fumble at the lacy smallclothes, tearing them away with a soft curse. Her giggle quickly dies when his finds her wet heated mound with an urgent touch. Suddenly, without warning he turns her around, and she feels him make swift work of the buttons. Pushing the bodice to her waist, he tugs at the corset laces, and she feels his hot girth firmly against her buttocks. "What are you-ohhhh," fingers slide against her sex, rubbing her own wetness against the apex of her pleasure. Queen Guinevere Pendragon forgets everything else and lets her head fall back as her husband spreads her thighs and slides into her from behind. Arthur groans muffled against her hair, "Oh….god Guinevere you feel so good," He's moving inside her now, and somehow they've found their rhythm like they always do. She's holding desperate to the wall while he braces her knee against the brick. They've done it this way before but never outside the bedroom, never where the courtiers could find the King and Queen of Camelot rutting like two deer in heat. The thought sends hot liquid excitement racing through Guinevere's center, and she wraps an arm around Arthur's neck to pull him closer, "Faster…oh yes, my love, ahhhh….just like that." Arthur's other hand grasps the corset laces again, tugging them tighter, pulling, bracing like reins, and Guinevere thinks she should wear them laced up the back more often. She reaches down to touch herself while he pounds inside her, breathing harsh in her ear. She comes like a wave crashing, and practically swallows Arthur's tongue to keep from crying out too loudly. He follows soon after, slamming into her with a whispered oath and a long, low moan he can't surpress. When they've straightened themselves out, he brushes a damp curl from her cheek and kisses her softly, tenderly. Those storm-colored eyes she loves touch her face, while his hands linger on her chin, "You should wear Pendragon red more often…" *** *Bradley salute* You're welcome ladies. |

Platt on God's Remedy for Sin
A summary of Platt on God's remedy for our sin:
How can a holy God look at a guilty sinner and say: "Innocent"? We rightly expect God to justify the innocent and condemn the guilty. And none are innocent. So how can God call the guilty innocent?
Jesus' death is the payment for sin. All the suffering of Jesus is for our sin. Isaiah shows that Jesus stood in the place of sinners, in our place, to bear the penalty for sin: Isaiah 52:13 – 53: 12.
Is it true that "God hates the sin but loves the sinner"? In one sense, certainly. God loves sinners. But when we see God's holy wrath against sin, we need to understand that it's not as though sin is something outside us. Sin is at the core of who we really are. So when Jesus went to the cross, he wasn't just enduring the penalty of sin as though it is something outside us. He was doing this in our place — taking the full wrath of God due to us as sinners.
Here's the deal: We are sinners. All of us by nature went our own way. God has both wrath and love towards sinners. How can God's judgment and love toward sinners be reconciled? That's the cross. God takes away all of the judgment due us. The beauty of the gospel is that God takes away all our sins and does not count any of them against us.
"Think of it: Of the God of the universe looking at us and saying 'I have no record of anything going wrong in your life.' Because God cancelled the debt at the cross. In fact, because of Christ's righteous obedience, he looks at us and says 'I only have a record of you doing right.'"
David Platt on Total Depravity
"Everything in all of creation responds to God, until you get to man and we have the audacity to look him in the face and say 'no.' From this sin, we see lostness all over this book (Isaiah). What does it mean to be lost? It means to be cut off from God. To live alienated from God. Separated from Christ (Eph 2:12). Romans 5:18: one trespass led to condemnation for everyone. In our sinfulness we are cut off from God, we are enemies of God. We are slaves to sin, John 8:34. Jesus said 'truly truly I say to you: everyone who commits sin is a slave to sin.' 2 Timothy 2:26 says we are captured in the snare of the evil one, having been captured by him to do his will. We are children of wrath, Eph 2:3, and darkened in our understanding. And this affects every facet of our being. And this is the natural state of all of us. Romans 3: 'there is none who seeks God, not even one. There are none who understand.'"
A side note: I know this is not Platt's purpose, but it is really remarkable how well he knows the Scripture. He is quoting dozens of Scriptures from memory. This is a good model for all of us.
Platt is really driving home the lostness of the human condition. A reflection: I'm reading through Jeremiah right now, and over and over you see Jeremiah denouncing the sins of Israel. And what stands out is: this is the state of all of us, by nature apart from God. Jeremiah isn't just denouncing the sin of "those people over there." The point of the book is that we are all fallen, every one of us, and our only hope is to look to God in Christ for mercy. That is, we cannot come to God on the basis of our good works. Apart from him, we don't have any. The way to a relationship with God is to acknowledge our sin to him and trust in Christ for mercy, not in anything we do, have done, or can do.
David Platt Up Now
Piper introduced David Platt with two things he loves about him most: his love for the Scriptures and passion for God's glory among the nations.
Platt remarked how the passages he planned on speaking on are the same ones Louie Giglio went to last night — so maybe the Lord wants us to go deep into these passages.
Reading from Isaiah 6 now.
"There is no one like our God. It is folly to compare anything to our God. All of the earth is a continual explosion of the glory of God. 'He brings the stars out one by one and calls them each one by one.' And he is sovereign over all nations. Go to Isaiah 46. This is part of the purpose of Isaiah — to show the sovereignty and supremacy of God over the nations."
This is a key point he is making: God's sovereignty over nature is meant to buttress our confidence that God is sovereign over human history as well. We shouldn't think "God is sovereign over rocks and trees and stars, but human history is out of his control." He is sovereign over human history just as much as he is sovereign over the course of the stars and workings of nature.
Louie Giglio's Mashup of Stars Singing "How Great is Our God"
Louie Giglio brought in some amazing illustrations from astronomy to illustrate the supremacy of God.
Apparently, the electromagnetic radiation that quasars emit translates into sound. "Stars don't just shine; they also sing."
So he put some quasars up on the screen and then the sound their signals reduce to. Then he did this for some whales, mashed it all together, and laid over Chris Tomlin's "How Great is Our God." And it all fit. It was pretty cool.
It seemed so hard to explain that I captured the video on my iPhone. Here's the video:
And here was his point:
"The point is simply this. God is a God who doesn't need anything. He has a band, he has a universe, that is singing to him. Every bird's wing that flaps through the sky, every ocean wave that crashes on the shore, every snowflake that falls imperceptibly to you and me, or when a baby cries or a human being laughs, it is all God's creation praising him, and he is big and powerful and amazing and expansive in every way, and he is the one asking the question: 'Whom shall I send? He doesn't need us, but he invites us to be a part of what he is doing.'"
"God is Bigger Than We Think He Is"
Louie Giglio:
There is a ripple effect of the gospel that is undeniable. It doesn't lead us to just contemplate what happened to us, but proclaim what Christ has done.
God is bigger than we think he is. I don't know how big you think he is, but he's still bigger than that.
God is not just a global God, he is a galactic God. And he is even bigger than that. I love the quote "the universe is one of God's thoughts."
Isaiah 6 has been in my heart over the last few weeks, and this is an incredible passage. Isaiah saw a God who is "high and lifted up"–not low and bowed down.
Worship is happening with or without you. Worship happens wherever God is present, and Isaiah saw this. The vision of God was so great it wrecked him. He didn't need anyone to tell him what kind of trouble our sinful condition puts us in. And God restored him, and Isaiah heard "whom shall we send?"
You cannot be near the cross and not hear that. Because the world is messed up, and God cares.
Talking about the Sombrero Galaxy now, 34 or so million light years away. "Most of you didn't even know about it. And so you are saying 'then what's it doing there/' It's there for God, not first you."
Astronomers are perplexed: why is the universe so big? And they are saying "There's got to be more people in this place. It's way too big if it's just for you and me." I agree — if the universe was created just for humanity, it's oversized. But if they knew the universe's primary function was not to house humanity but to magnify the creator, they would know it's just about the right size."
Louie Giglio: Why We Exist
"This world is messed up to an amazing magnitude. But in the midst of this there is a God, who is great beyond our wildest imagination.
"And he has linked arms with us and given us marching orders if you will, and we are not at our leisure tonight. We are here under the mandate of hte grace of God, which found us, restored us, redeemed us, breathed life back into our dormant lungs, and brought us back from the grave for one purpose:
"That we would become an amplifier for the beauty of Jesus among all the peoples on the planet."
Live Blogging the DG Conference
Since I'm here anyway, I think I'll live blog the DG conference.
It's on missions, and the theme is Finish the Mission.
Louie Giglio is up now.
The Essence of True Heroism
Andy Stanley:
Doing the right thing when it costs something is the essence of true heroism. It is also the mark of a great leader.
From his Next Generation Leader: 5 Essentials for Those Who Will Shape the Future.
The Difference Between the Natural Leader and Spiritual Leader
From J. Oswald Sanders' Spiritual Leadership: Principles of Excellence for Every Believer. I can't get it to work as a table, as it is in the book, but you should be able to see the comparisons well enough:
Knows men
Makes own decisions
Creates methods
Enjoys command
Seeks personal reward
Confident in God
Knows men and knows God
Seeks God's will
Humble [and ambitious for God's aims]
Follows God's example
Delights in obedience to God
Loves God and others
Depends on God
Is Leadership a Biblical Category?
Sometimes people say to me, "leadership is not a biblical category. The right terms are shepherding or stewardship or discipleship."
Shepherding, stewardship, and discipleship are indeed critical things. And the absolute last thing I would want to say to pastors is "you aren't shepherds, you're leaders." That would be horrible. Shepherding is a massive, valid, critical, and biblical category, and I think it communicates more about the nature of the pastoral role than simply the term "leader" does.
However, leadership is a biblical category. Pastoring (shepherding) is a type of leadership. And there are other types of leadership in the church and in all sectors of society everywhere that we are unable to properly describe and understand if we abandon the term "leadership." Leadership is a good and right and proper category for these things.
In other words, if we abandon the category of "leadership," we abandon an essential and necessary grid for understanding the task of (dare I say it) leading people. That's what school superintendents, project managers, small group leaders, managers, CEOs, directors, vice presidents, marketing managers, executive pastors, senior pastors, and on and on, are doing.
Saying "that's not leadership, that's stewardship" doesn't help a ton — stewarding what? Neither does saying "this is discipleship." In the church and among Christians, that's a helpful category. But is the marketing manager at Target discipling his or her employees? Maybe there is an element of that, even in the general arena of work. But if so, it's discipleship in the context of leading a department, or carrying out whatever your role is.
We might be tempted to say that leadership is the right category for the task of leading outside the church, but it's not a biblical category for inside the church.
But this would ignore the fact that the Bible actually speaks of leadership, and uses that term to describe the task of leading and shepherding inside the church as well. For example:
Luke 22:26: "Let the greatest among you become as the youngest, and the leader as one who serves.
Hebrews 13:7, 17: "Remember your leaders, those who spoke to you the word of God. Consider the outcome of their way of life, and imitate their faith. . . . Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls."
Acts 5:31: "God exalted him at his right hand, as leader and savior."
One interesting thing to note, and this is one reason this matters so much: In Luke 20:26, Jesus is drawing a contrast with how the Gentiles led, and how he wants the church led. The Gentiles lorded it over people and saw exercising authority and controlling people (for the leader's benefit!) the main thing in leadership. Jesus said: "Not so. That's a wrong view of leadership. It will not be that way among you."
Here's the point: If we remove leadership as a category of thought, we are unable to make these sorts of contrasts and comparisons. If what a person in the general society is doing can be called "leadership," but what we are doing in the church can't be, we lose the ability to learn from comparisons and contrasts. Jesus couldn't have made the point he did here.
And, it is to be noted, Jesus' point was not "you aren't leaders." His point was: "Lead in this way, not that that way. You will lead for the benefit of those you serve, not your own benefit. You will not focus on controlling people and exercising authority, but building them up for their good." That's true leadership.
The problem is not the concept of "leadership." It's that there are lots of wrong ideas about leadership out there. The problem is not leadership, but bad leadership.
We don't need to be afraid of the term leadership — it is a biblical category. Let's not eat the confusing fruit of overspiritualization that seeks to eliminate real, biblical, helpful categories in favor of more spiritual-sounding, but often ambiguous, ways of speaking.

Inline links with background images - three simple fixes for Internet Explorer
Internet Explorer renders the positioning of the background-image on inline links differently, compared to other browsers, when the links are split over two lines. The background image may disappear, or may be displayed at the end of the first line, overlapping the text. Here you will find three simple CSS solutions. -

Why Hack Android?
So why would you want to hack your Android phone? For those with older handsets, rooting the device lets you install customized ROMs which can deliver major speed improvements and performance increases. For example, the popular CyanogenMod, created by one of Android's most notable hackers, optimizes performance for both the G1 and MyTouch 3G handsets.
Another good reason to root your phone? Multi-touch. One of the surprising omissions from Google's own Nexus One handset, for example, is the ability to use more than one finger at a time to operate the device. Although available on iPhone from the start, the Nexus One excludes this valuable feature from its mobile operating system. Why? No one knows for sure, but it might have something to do with some patents Apple owns. But that's no matter to the hacker community. Thanks again to cyanogen, Nexus One owners can enable the feature by copying some files over to their device. Other Android owners can perform similar procedures to enable multi-touch Web browsing. But before you can get started with any of these hacks, you first have to root the phone.
How to Root Your Android Phone
However, for novice hackers, "rooting" the phone sounds like it may be easier said than done. Although seemingly intimidating, by following a few simple steps anyone can do this with ease.Before getting started, remember to back up your phone, including your contacts, SMS messages, files and photos.
- The first step is to download and install Superboot, a boot image that, when flashed, will root the device the first time you boot up. You can grab a copy of the Superboot zip file from the Modaco forums here.
- Once downloaded, extract the files it contains to a directory on your computer, just like any other zip file.
- Now put your Android phone in bootloader mode. (Note, owners of a retail N1 should see instructions here).
- To do so, turn off the phone, remove the battery, and plug in the USB cable. When the battery icon appears onscreen, pop the battery back in. Now tap the Power button while holding down the Camera key.
- For those whose Android phones have a trackball, you have an even easier method of doing this: Turn off the phone, press and hold the trackball, then turn the phone back on.
- Depending on your computer's OS, do one of the following:
- Windows: Double click "install-superboot-windows.bat"
- Mac: Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type "chmod +x install-superboot-mac.sh" followed by "./install-superboot-mac.sh"
- Linux: Open a terminal window to the directory containing the files, and type "chmod +x install-superboot-linux.sh" followed by "./install-superboot-linux.sh"
- That's it, your device has been rooted!

Day 2: The Hague to Maastricht (140 miles)
Rise early and head to the Binnenhof, a small compound of buildings on a tranquil lake that's been the center of Dutch government for more than 600 years. Nearby sits the Mauritshuis museum, which holds Rembrandts, Brueghels, and two of Vermeer's great masterpieces, Girl with a Pearl Earring and View on Delft. Back behind the wheel, hop on the A12, which merges with the A2 and leads down to Maastricht, one of the country's oldest cities (settled in 50 B.C. by the Romans). Tefaf, the European fine-art fair, is held here every March, but you can soak up great art year-round: Visit the Bonnefanten for old masters. The Netherlands Architecture Institute's new Maastricht outpost is right next door.

ateixeira Posts: 72,587Viggens are wild. There were a couple at the joint Subaru Club of America's and Central Penn Saab Club's 2001 Covered Bridge Tour.
Different price class, though. You could buy a WRX and have enough left over to buy an Impreza TS wagon for your wife.
Plus, the Viggen has no AWD drivetrain losses, so it should have an advantage in a perfectly straight line. Not around curves, though.

lev_kuznetsov Posts: 12to the guy who proposed getting rid of the lag with a boost controller...
what boost controller does is lowers boost levels by opening a bypass valve so not to overspeed the turbo (long story made short: air goes faster than the speed of sound - bad things happen). this happens, obviosly, at high rpms, when the exhaust flow is huge. (saab has the knock sensor wired in there and things, but that's the basic reason for the boost controller)
The only way to counter lag (without ALS) is a smaller turbo, which obviosly drops maximum boost and top hp. titanium core turbos (evo7) ofcourse help, but still not that great. late supra has2 sequential turbos : 1 small, 1 big - that helps, to an extent. throttle response is no bmw there, and the manufacturing costs would send the scubbie in the big bucks.
Now what the Anti Lag System (bang-bang system) does is when you reapply the throttle, it leaves the exhaust valve open for a little bit, allowing the combustion mix go into the turbo and explode there. If you want to do a complete rebuild every ~150 miles...
That's the reason why subaru makes the 2.5 RS - for people who want to drive in a relaxed manner.
There's one more technology that could dramatically improve things with the turbo, but it's not here yet: saab's variable compression. a high pressure turbo engine would run high compression off-boost and the lower as the turbo spools up. street racer people would be happy of a 9.5 second car that doesn't stall at 1700 rpm -
corduroygt Posts: 19Since turbo's are small, they would not require a lot of power to spin. How about hooking the electric motor for the turbo to a (bigger) battery and let it do the work before 3000 rpms, aftewr which the motor gradually shuts off and leaves it place to the exhaust pressure to spin the turbo.
kostamojen2 Posts: 284The problem is that Subaru electronically limited the turbo in the WRX, creating an awkward boost curve. A boost controler is the the easiest (next to replacing the ECU with a custom job or getting a chip) way to get around most of that problem.
And as long as you keep the psi low and in safe limits (below 15 with a MBC) you should not compromize the engine integrity or turbo. -
kostamojen2 Posts: 284Before I get started, I have to say that the WRX and RS feel 99% identicle when it comes to everything but the engine.
Well, the seats in the RS are fabulous, especially since there identicle to the WRX. The car rides super-smooth on the highway at high speeds but can be moved by wind gusts at 80+ (due to its high ground clearance for the most part, since people who have lowed the car have witnessed an extreme reduction in this) and at low speeds its nice and stiff and solid, but doesnt jar you, and when going over bouncies the car returns to a stable point quickly instead of over-bouncing (like all cars should). The only difference between the RS and WRX is really the rear sway bar, which I could tell needs to be bigger on the RS cause the rear end doesnt like to come out enough and the car has more understeer than the WRX's ive been in.
The Sound system is ok, but dont get the upgraded speakers/subwoolfer cause its just a waste of money (and the sub is under the passanger seat, where it can be annoying)
The tires are the same sucky RE92's, and need to be replaced IMO... Theyre good in the rain and snow though, but they squeel WAY to easily (and loudly)
For real-life normal driving use, the RS has plenty of umph for everything from freeway merging to passing cars across the dotted lines. The only time I noticed any power problems was going uphill at high speeds trying to accelerate hard with the AC on, but this car is nice and turns the AC off for you temporarily until you stop accelerating.
1rst gear can be annoying at low speeds, and down-shifting into 4th from 5th my cousin has to force the car sometimes...
Anything more? -
silver_bullet Posts: 1,339Juice, most new cars I've looked at have this feature - the compressor shuts off when the engine controller senses high engine loads. Even my fiancee's Focus has this feature... too bad it doesn't have much else going for it. We are starting to consider replacing the Focus with a 2.5RS - we are fed up with all of the problems.
silver_bullet Posts: 1,339The Focus was new to the U.S. in 2000, but was in Europe before then. The number of quality issues many owners have is sad. The recalls were mostly nit-picky things, but the car seems to develop a new problem almost monthly. I'll never set foot on a Ford dealer's lot again - I've learned my lesson.
ateixeira Posts: 72,587My previous car was a '91 Escort GT. I was shopping for a Protoge but got the same powertrain for less money in the Ford.
It had problems too. Trim pieces fell off every once in a while, stuff like that. The A/C went twice, and the fuel guage never worked properly. The powertrain was OK, but the interior kept falling apart.
It's too bad they still haven't figured out quality. The press likes how the Focus drives.

jimmyp1 Posts: 640Even my 1994 Legacy Turbo Sedan has the "no airconditioner under load feature". I never knew exactly how it worked until today. Thanks Silver_Bullet. I just got back from a trip to Colorado, and I was reminded of a couple things that might influence the RS/WRX decision. We rented a 2001 Dodge Intrepid, which had the V6, and, IIRC, about 220 hp. That thing was a dog compared to my 1994 Turbo Legacy with its 160 hp. We lived at 10,000 feet when we lived in Colorado. I've heard various versions of these numbers, but most agree that you have lost 15% of your N/A car's power at Denver altitudes, and anywhere from 25-33% of your power at 10,000 feet and above (we spent a lot of time over 11,000 feet). I was reminded of all the times I would get incredulous looks from Maxima owners (222 hp), Jetta VRX owners (172 hp?), and many others you would think were out of my league, as I inched away from them on the hills at altitude. And they were at redline in 3rd or 4th gear, while I just kicked back in 5th gear. There's got to be a wear-and-tear incentive there also. Anyway, if you EVER find yourself at altitude, I'd say there's no question, buy the turbo or be disappointed. As long as I can afford them, I will buy turbocharged/supercharged cars. The only reason I haven't bought a WRX is I'm waiting to see if Subaru offers some variation of the B4 here in the states. And with the quality of my car, and only 78,000 miles, why rush anything? Just MHO.

kostamojen2 Posts: 284
ateixeira Posts: 72,587Jim: excellent point about turbos. With the excess "efficiency", if you will, it just uses the bleed off valve much less, and delivers the same output, while others lose major hp.
Actually, a supercharger will NOT match a turbo at high altitudes, because it spins at a set speed, whereas a turbo can spin faster at higher altitudes to compensate for the thin air.
The Outback Sport is pretty close to an RS wagon. Same engine, all you'd have to do is suspension mods. Heck, if you're going to swap springs and sways anyway, may as well start with a cheaper vehicle.

jim2741 Posts: 20is very bothersome. Is there anything that can be done about this? I own a 2000 RS. This doesn't exactly exude a sporty feel to the car. Any help would be appreciated. I'm guessing that others have experienced this since I've read about this as being an issue with Subarus. My car is a 5sp.
Thanks - Jim -
WarpDrive Posts: 506
ateixeira Posts: 72,587I guess I'm the type who allows the aftermarket to fill in the blanks.
A TS with a set of Tein coilovers, 16" or even 17" rims and Kumho Ecsta 712s, and fat sway bars would handle really nice, and it has the same engine as is lighter than an RS.
I don't think the seats are as good, and a few features are missing, but it's a budget buy.

You don't know what Jeep skating is? I guess you're not familiar with the Macarena either. Pogs, Pokemon, and Cabbage Patch Kids are also foreign, and you don't know why anyone would want to be taught how to Dougie. You assume planking has something to do with building a deck.
All the kids are Jeep skating nowadays. Every little hellion in suburbia has a Jeep, and while their friend drives at a low speed, they hang off the side and push the ground with their foot. It accomplishes nothing, but the thrill of the gravel and/or unforgiving pavement zooming by inches away from your flesh is a rush akin to skydiving.
The rush is so great that even millionaire NFL players like Jets receiver Santonio Holmes can't resist. He took to the streets in excitement yesterday when he heard that the lockout was set to end imminently.
Holmes will finally and officially be a free agent this Friday, and is the leading receiver set to make that triumphant cannonball into the unrestricted free agency pool and all of its riches.
We're sure Holmes was just using Jeep skating to maintain his leg strength before his massive pay day.

I've tried out two games now.
First fight was barely worth mentioning. The orcs were so devestating as to make the empire seem embaressing.
The orcs went with a straight out: put units into the Battlefield, while the humans tried a blend. The exact details escape me but the orcs were generally drawing only 1 card (no cards in the Quest zone) and got about 4 resources per turn (1 card in the Quest zone). Their two frontline units were able to casually inflict 4 damage per round (Goblins with 1 support card to give them 2 power and some squids who came in damaged to give them a 2 power).
The human player could not really mount a suitable offensive. Their power is very low compared to the orcs. Their battlefield units only had 1 power each.
So the game ended extremely quickly as the orcs pretty must were able to inflict 4 damage per round whereas the humans could only inflict 2.
Obviously a lot more was going on, but the human player could not get enough units out to defend properly.
Lessons learn:
Shuffle the damn deck. This was our first game. Clearly the decks were shuffled super well.
Heavily consider taking the mulligan. Right now, if I didn't have at least 3 units in my hand, I would risk drawing a new hand. You need them to get the ball rolling.
Orcs really are offensive and humans generally start defensive.
Game 2
With a much clearer grasp of the game and a better shuffle (and a mulligan taken by the humans) the game was much more interesting.
The humans were able to develop their Kingdom quickly which got them some precious resources. The Orcs on the other hand spread out their development a little towards Quest and Battlefield. A few initial skirmishes left the Empire's Kingdom somewhat damaged.
Hoping to stifle their resources, a surprise trick allow the Empire to move the orc's two quest units two their Kingdom. While this does mean more resources for the orcs, it also means less cards. Additionally, the orcs had a unit the could take a Kingdom action to kill itself and kill another Empire unit, so this option would be eiliminated.
Now the game was a lot of back and forth, with the Empire fielidng the Greatswords to good effect and the orcs putting a marginal offense. The Orc's Quest zone took a beating but the orc managed to get a development down the round before the Empire inflicted their 8th damage token. Thus the Kingdom would hold. As an interesting point of interest, because a) there seems to be very little to no healing of zones and b) because a burning zone doesn't seem to hinder the opposing player, there wasn't much of a need to inflict that 9th point of damage right away. It could wait for the final crushing blow later).
The Empire's kingdom was looking very weak but the Sigmar's Priest arrived. They have a very potent (but a bit confusing) rule that allows them to turn the first assigned damage back upon an enemy. This gets a little confusing when the orcs brought out a unit that automatically inflicts two wounds that the defending player gets to assign. Therefore the Empire player assigned 1 damage to his Greatswords and 1 damage to the priest...which then got redirected to the orc player. Dunno if that was done right but that's how it all reads.
Then the Empire player managed to pull a very powerful effect out of their butt. It destroyed all units and support on both sides but only if they don't have any developments there. The Empire player naturally had 1 development in each area. The orc player had only previously developed his Kingdom area. This means the orc player lost 2 units in his Quest area and 2 units in his Battlefield.
It went very downhill for the orc player from there, but the battle wasn't entirely over. The orcs managed to bring out a beast of a unit that has 5 power but only 2 health. The humans, before this, however, managed to bring out their hero unit, a griffon count. While he only does 1 damage he has counterstrike of 2. This showed to be a very potent ability as the orc couldn't effectively attack the zone where the count was present (or they would die before the fight).
In the end, the empire won the game as they just couldn't put together enough of an offense.
After game thoughts:
empire damage is kinda pathetic. They really have to mass troops and slowly plink down the defenses of their opponent. Their offensive strength does not come from their units but rather their buildings (although there is some confusion about this too). Support units in the battlefield say that they add their power to damage but I can't find this reflected in the damage section. We assumed that it was added to any offense but not to defense (since you can't declare buildings as defenders). Anyway, if we played it correctly, the Empire gets several builds that add power to their units IF you have developments in that zone. So the humans NEED time to build their empire up to a point where they can be effective.
The Orc have a LOT of easy and cheap ways to increase their power. It seemed like 70% of the things they did (either through action cards, tactics or text effects was to increase their power).
The humans really need to force on kiling the orc troops in some fashion. This might be trickery than one thinks, because the orcs can choose not to defend. In fact, I could easily see a game where the orc just attacks every round and puts little or nothing into defense. It's very conceivable, with a good hand of intital cards, that the orc could ignore the petty attacks of the humans (again who have a bit of a difficulty mounting damage unit they start to build) and sacrifice one of their zones to destroy two zones of the humans. The humans need to counter that, and quickly.
Quests: In neither game did a quest come up. I thought that they would be way more important but if you don't get a quest in your initial hand, then it's likely to get ignored. See as the game progresses, the Battlefield units often need to be replaced more than the units in the Kingdom or Quest zone. And you can't assign a unit already IN the quest zone onto a quest. You have to play it from your hand. I think I disagree with that rule but that's how it reads.
Anyway, the first game was enough to make me wanna question my purchase (it was way too one sided) but the second game was clearly a much better representation of what this game has to offer. I do believe that each race will have a very different playstyle.

Alabama Broadcasters Association Establishes Broadcast Engineering Academy
Birmingham, AL - Dec 15, 2011 - The Alabama Broadcasters Association is establishing a Broadcast Engineering Academy at the ABA office in Hoover, AL. This effort is in response to the growing need for engineers across Alabama and the entire country.
The association is working with the Society of Broadcast Engineers to ensure the ABA's Academy will be an eligible SBE certified training institute. In addition, the ABA is partnering with a local career college to establish a pilot program with its network and electrical engineering students. Alabama member radio and TV stations will be encouraged to send employees to the Academy for additional training. Other state broadcast associations will also be invited to send students to the Academy.
The ABA Broadcast Engineering Academy will create apprenticeship and internship programs to place students at Alabama stations to gain more practical experience. The training facility will be completed and curriculum established in time to conduct the first classes in late May, 2012.
"This idea was created out of pure necessity," said Bill Ballard, ABA chairman and president and general manager of WIAT-TV in Birmingham, AL. "There is such a shortage of broadcast engineers that something had to be done."

Revised Standard Version w/ Apocrypha (RSVA) | New International Version (NIV) |
1 When Ado'ni-ze'dek king of Jerusalem heard how Joshua had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace with Israel and were among them, | 1 Now Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem heard that Joshua had taken Ai and totally destroyed it, doing to Ai and its king as he had done to Jericho and its king, and that the people of Gibeon had made a treaty of peace with Israel and were living near them. |
2 he feared greatly, because Gibeon was a great city, like one of the royal cities, and because it was greater than Ai, and all its men were mighty. | 2 He and his people were very much alarmed at this, because Gibeon was an important city, like one of the royal cities; it was larger than Ai, and all its men were good fighters. |
3 So Ado'ni-ze'dek king of Jerusalem sent to Hoham king of Hebron, to Piram king of Jarmuth, to Japhi'a king of Lachish, and to Debir king of Eglon, saying, | 3 So Adoni-Zedek king of Jerusalem appealed to Hoham king of Hebron, Piram king of Jarmuth, Japhia king of Lachish and Debir king of Eglon. |
4 "Come up to me, and help me, and let us smite Gibeon; for it has made peace with Joshua and with the people of Israel." | 4 "Come up and help me attack Gibeon," he said, "because it has made peace with Joshua and the Israelites." |
5 Then the five kings of the Amorites, the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, and the king of Eglon, gathered their forces, and went up with all their armies and encamped against Gibeon, and made war against it. | 5 Then the five kings of the Amorites--the kings of Jerusalem, Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish and Eglon--joined forces. They moved up with all their troops and took up positions against Gibeon and attacked it. |
6 And the men of Gibeon sent to Joshua at the camp in Gilgal, saying, "Do not relax your hand from your servants; come up to us quickly, and save us, and help us; for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell in the hill country are gathered against us." | 6 The Gibeonites then sent word to Joshua in the camp at Gilgal: "Do not abandon your servants. Come up to us quickly and save us! Help us, because all the Amorite kings from the hill country have joined forces against us." |
7 So Joshua went up from Gilgal, he and all the people of war with him, and all the mighty men of valor. | 7 So Joshua marched up from Gilgal with his entire army, including all the best fighting men. |
8 And the LORD said to Joshua, "Do not fear them, for I have given them into your hands; there shall not a man of them stand before you." | 8 The LORD said to Joshua, "Do not be afraid of them; I have given them into your hand. Not one of them will be able to withstand you." |
9 So Joshua came upon them suddenly, having marched up all night from Gilgal. | 9 After an all-night march from Gilgal, Joshua took them by surprise. |
10 And the LORD threw them into a panic before Israel, who slew them with a great slaughter at Gibeon, and chased them by the way of the ascent of Beth-hor'on, and smote them as far as Aze'kah and Makke'dah. | 10 The LORD threw them into confusion before Israel, who defeated them in a great victory at Gibeon. Israel pursued them along the road going up to Beth Horon and cut them down all the way to Azekah and Makkedah. |
11 And as they fled before Israel, while they were going down the ascent of Beth-hor'on, the LORD threw down great stones from heaven upon them as far as Aze'kah, and they died; there were more who died because of the hailstones than the men of Israel killed with the sword. | 11 As they fled before Israel on the road down from Beth Horon to Azekah, the LORD hurled large hailstones down on them from the sky, and more of them died from the hailstones than were killed by the swords of the Israelites. |
12 Then spoke Joshua to the LORD in the day when the LORD gave the Amorites over to the men of Israel; and he said in the sight of Israel, "Sun, stand thou still at Gibeon, and thou Moon in the valley of Ai'jalon." | 12 On the day the LORD gave the Amorites over to Israel, Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: "O sun, stand still over Gibeon, O moon, over the Valley of Aijalon." |
13 And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the nation took vengeance on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of Jashar? The sun stayed in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day. | 13 So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped, till the nation avenged itself on its enemies, as it is written in the Book of Jashar. The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day. |
14 There has been no day like it before or since, when the LORD hearkened to the voice of a man; for the LORD fought for Israel. | 14 There has never been a day like it before or since, a day when the LORD listened to a man. Surely the LORD was fighting for Israel! |
15 Then Joshua returned, and all Israel with him, to the camp at Gilgal. | 15 Then Joshua returned with all Israel to the camp at Gilgal. |

Okay. This is Erik Sofge for PopularMechanics.com. We're here at CES in Las Vegas and we actually are looking at the coolest thing that Sony has announced at their press conference. This is their TransferJet near-field wireless technology. We've seen sort of near-field talked about in the past but here's something that looks like it actually works pretty well, so right now, she's gonna actually put that camera on the actual TransferJet device and hopefully it will transfer over the pictures.
One reset.
Okay, so we're gonna try to reset this and try it again. We had some problems during the actual presentation during the press conference.
It works great.
So, I guess things take a little bit of doing. It's not the first wireless problem we've seen today, but I guess that's what happens at demonstrations. In theory, the transfer rate is incredibly fast, about-- up to 560 megabytes per second. Oh, here we go, so it's connecting. So, a lot like with Surface in that the ability to sort of put a camera down on that table. Here, we've got kind of a similar idea. Basically just transferring it wire-- ***CUT

The Wilders By Paul-Emile Comeau Published July 22, 2008 Someone's Got To Pay Free Dirt
On their latest album, The Wilders have taken a few small steps toward a more electrified sound—a marked departure from their old-school Ozark leanings. Bassist Nate Gawron goes electric on a few cuts, and Glenn Fields from Louisiana's Red Stick Ramblers sits in on the drum kit, which is another first for the band. The connective tissue of Someone's Got To Pay is the five-part "Sittin' On A Jury," written by band member Phil Wade after he served as a juror on a murder trial in Kansas City. The suite first saw the light of day in its entirety on a vinyl EP released in 2007 it reappears here with each movement acting as an interlude between other original songs. Fiddle tunes, honky-tonk songs, and old-time stringband music are just a few of the styles explored here, while short sketches of solo piano serve as yet another thread that holds the album together. Were it not for the fact that The Wilders are masters at most forms of country music, this "old murder ballad come to life" (to quote the lyrics) might have come across as disjointed. Instead, each track is strong, distinctive and instantly memorable.

Stanley Fish's only distinction is that he is a former postmodernist. Nothing that he has done or written suggests great knowledge of or profound thought about any issue outside the tiny and inconsequential world of literary criticism. I continue to be amazed that the New York Times affords him such a pulpit.

TUCSON - Police have identified the man who robbed a bank in Tucson and later killed himself near San Simon.
On Feb. 28 police say Kirk Luethy, 53, robbed the Pyramid Federal Credit Union in the 4400 Block of North Oracle Road. He was disguised by a mask and had a gun in his hand, Tucson Police Sgt. Chris Widmer said in a release.
Luethy fled on foot, but was later found in Cochise County, Wider said.
Luethy was parked to the side of the road when a deputy checked on him. The suspect fled about 50 yards before stopping again, then fled and hit a tree, Cochise County spokeswoman Carol Capas said.
The wheels of Luethy's truck kept spinning after the crash, igniting a fire to the grass underneath, Capas said. The deputy observed Luethy shoot himself.

Why Adoption is a Great Option
OSCAR, a San Diego Rat Terrier/Fox Terrier (Toy) puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Rat Terrier/Fox Terrier (Toy) for sale in San Diego, or seeking a Rat Terrier/Fox Terrier (Toy) puppy from a breeder in San Diego.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in San Diego 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 San Diego 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 Rat Terrier/Fox Terrier (Toy) breeders who help with Rat Terrier/Fox Terrier (Toy) rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in San Diego paves the way for another one to be saved.

Thirty years ago DH and I received an unbelievably delicious store-bought "fruit cake" as a gift. My recollection - which may be faulty - is that it was called a Texas Yahoo cake. (It was actually shaped like the state of Texas.)
I do remember distinctly that it was a rich dense mixture of chocolate, candied fruits (including dates and cherries and who knows what all else), and that it also had loads of pecans but that there was almost no flour in it. It didn't taste at all like traditional fruitcake (which both DH and I detest). Instead, it was almost like eating candy. We loved it but never ordered one for ourselves because unfortunately we are both ALWAYS counting calories and that thing was just too tempting to have around. LOL! But, DH's 65th birthday is approaching and when I asked him what kind of cake he'd like, he said he would love another one of those Yahoo cakes. Thirty years and he still remembers that cake! THAT is how big an impression the cake made. Well, I found the company called the Texas Yahoo Baking company and ordered what I thought would be the same cake - albeit not in a "Texas" shape. It arrived this morning and I snuck a little taste out of the back side just to make sure it was the same. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT! Not the same at all.... Don't know now if this is the same company and they've just changed their recipe or what. So, does anyone out there remember the original chocolate fruitcake that I'm talking about? And, if so do you have ANY idea where I can get the recipe so I can make one. I have a couple of weeks before his birthday but all my attempts to find a recipe that sound right on-line have come to naught. Thanks in advance |

Shifting Perspectives: Tanks, bribes, and player behavior, part 2 {WoW}
Apr 20th 2011 9:41AM That said, I'd love to return to server only dungeons. There are countless times where I find myself saying at the end of a good run: "Great run, thanks all, see ya later," and realizing that I actually won't be seeing any of them again which is a little depressing.
Shifting Perspectives: Tanks, bribes, and player behavior, part 2 {WoW}
Apr 20th 2011 9:37AM I've been a dpser since vanilla WoW and just got a druid to 85 that I'm now tanking with. My heroic runs have been about a 50/50 split between total Pugs and running with at least 2 or 3 guildies from my raiding guild.
So far at least, I haven't encountered all this trouble that people talk about in terms of Dungeon Finder groups. The Pugs that I have done are actually the best groups I've had. I've only had one completely awful experience and that happened in the very first heroic I did when I was at ilvl 331 and I actually ran with 2 guildies. Maybe I've just been lucky but the people I've encountered through the Dungeon Finder have been understanding and skilled enough to adapt to a new tank.
For instance, the very first time I tanked blackrock caverns, I got the achievements for both Corla and Karsh just because the group was kind enough to put up with a bit of an undergeared and inexperienced tank. Granted, I got lucky with an excellent and overgeared healer but the group was understanding even when we wiped once on each boss trying to do the achievement.
We'll see if my experiences continue like this or not. I tend to think that they will with the occasional aberration. As is common with these types of things, the minority of horror stories often overwhelm the vast majority of success stories. That's why my policy is that unless I'm tanking for a guildie, I'll just leave if the group is clearly uncooperative.

Document Type Master's Dissertation Author Vorster, Jan Harm URN etd-07272005-113633 Document Title A study of the sensitivity and specificity of an immunoperoxidase technique for the diagnosis of maedi - visna virus infection in sheep Degree MMedVet (Pathology) Department Paraclinical Sciences / Pathology Supervisor
Advisor Name Title Prof N P J Kriek Keywords
- no key words available
Date 2002-05-08 Availability unrestricted Abstract In this study the sensitivity and specificity of an immunoperoxidase technique for the detection of lentiviral protein in formalin-fixed lung tissues of sheep were assessed. Formalin-fixed specimens of lungs of 52 sheep originating from two different infected flocks and formalin-fixed lung specimens of 20 sheep from a third, non-infected flock were selected. Multiple sections from each animal were stained with a monoclonal antibody against Maedi-Visna Virus (MVV) antigen. Control sections were stained with an irrelevant antibody, and without antibody, respectively in both the positive and negative groups. Histologic lesions of Maedi were graded according to severity and the number of sections staining positive. The average count of infected cells was determined for all animals which exhibited positive staining against viral protein. It was determined that the IMP technique had a sensitivity of 51,9% and a specificity of 100% if three sections of each animal were examined in both infected flocks. The sensitivity was greatly influenced by the presence or absence of typical histological lesions and the average cell counts seem to be correlated with the severity of the histological lesions. Animals without histological lesions were mostly negative with the IMP technique. The sensitivity was also influenced by the number of sections examined per animal and decreased if fewer sections were examined. Statistical analysis confirmed that the proportions of sections which were positive by means of IMP staining differed significantly between the four histological categories of normal, mild, moderate and severe. The more severe the lesions, the higher the proportion of sections were that could be diagnosed as infected by means of the IMP technique. It also confirmed that the ability to detect MVV infection in sections decreases significantly with a smaller sample size. In conclusion it would seem that this technique may be used in confirming infection in individual animals selected on the presence of typical pulmonary lesions. It is, however, not suitable as a routine screening test for the infection.

Tinmouth man gets three years for heroin salesApril 29,20143 years in jail for Tinmouth dealer
A Tinmouth man who pleaded guilty to selling heroin in Rutland County was sentenced Monday by a federal judge to 37 months in jail.
Alan H. Willis, 41, pleaded guilty in December to a federal charge of conspiracy to distribute heroin.
He was sentenced in federal court in Rutland by Judge Christina Reiss, who ordered two years of supervised release upon completion of his jail term.
Willis was arrested in February 2013 after police raided his home at 661 East Road in Tinmouth, where they found 1,500 bags of heroin worth $30,000 along with almost $5,000 in cash.
Two months after his arrest, Willis was arrested again while out of jail on $200,000 bail. His second arrest took place in Rutland after city police found more than 100 bags of heroin on him during a traffic stop.MORE IN This Just InPolice: Man robbed Full StoryIllegal gun buy Full StoryPolice are looking for a hit-and-run driver.

Instruction in Functional Assessment by Marcie Desrochers and Moira Fallon is the latest publication of Open SUNY Textbooks. Open textbooks help reduce the cost of textbooks and higher education, and Open SUNY Textbooks is an innovative program led by SUNY Libraries and Faculty. Instruction in Functional Assessment provides students and instructors a foundational understanding of functional assessment procedures. This text includes case studies, role-plays, and assignments to support hands-on application of the material, and resources for instructors in evaluating students' performance.
Web development is an evolving amalgamation of languages that work in concert to receive, modify, and deliver information between parties using the Internet as a mechanism of delivery. While it is easy to describe conceptually, implementation is accompanied by an overwhelming variety of languages, platforms, templates, frameworks, guidelines, and standards. Navigating a project from concept to completion often requires more than mastery of one or two complementing languages, meaning today's developers need both breadth, and depth, of knowledge to be effective.
This Open SUNY Textbook by Michael Mendez explores the history of web development, document markup, scripting languages, and database management. The reader is introduced to topics in a manner that follows most project development methods, from initial conceptualization and design through front end development, back end development, and introducing additional concepts such as accessibility and security. Each section of the text includes activities designed to put concepts into practice and assess learning.
Good researchers have a host of tools at their disposal that make navigating today's complex information ecosystem much more manageable. Gaining the knowledge, abilities, and self-reflection necessary to be a good researcher helps not only in academic settings, but is invaluable in any career, and throughout one's life. The Information Literacy User's Guide will start you on this route to success.
The Information Literacy User's Guide is based on two current models in information literacy: The 2011 version of The Seven Pillars Model, developed by the Society of College, National and University Libraries in the United Kingdom and the conception of information literacy as a metaliteracy, a model developed by one of this book's authors in conjunction with Thomas Mackey, Dean of the Center for Distance Learning at SUNY Empire State College. These core foundations ensure that the material will be relevant to today's students.
The Information Literacy User's Guide introduces students to critical concepts of information literacy as defined for the information-infused and technology-rich environment in which they find themselves. This book helps students examine their roles as information creators and sharers and enables them to more effectively deploy related skills. This textbook includes relatable case studies and scenarios, many hands-on exercises, and interactive quizzes.
