Chapter 20: Spending Our Last Moments at Epcot
January 4th, 2013 I woke up at 8:30 am and was so sad I had to leave that day. Thankfully I would be back VERY soon... but I would miss my family. And the YaCHt Club. I got ready and packed up all of my stuff. All week the under armor football team was staying at our resort, and today was the day of their big game! It was just so funny because you could totally pick out the big football players as opposed to all of the other guests. I couldn't believe they were in high school - they looked like grown men! On this day all of their families, coaches, and recruiters were coming out. It was a big deal! I posted on twitter: The under armor games football team is taking over the yacht club. Now this... this was one of my favorite moments of the trip right here. Mom and I went to Beach Club Marketplace and it was really cold out. So we walked in that little indoor pathway by Yachtsman Steakhouse to stay warm. We saw a Cast Member training 3 CPs for Concierge. He said hello to us and asked what I was celebrating when he saw my button. I told him that I was celebrating my upcoming college program! He got all excited! He asked what role, what resort, and just was so happy for me! He then proceeded to go on and on spewing out my EXACT life plan. He said Disney likes to take their CM's from the bottom up. So youll probably do your CP, a second CP, a Professional internship, become a manager, and eventually be a VP of one of the divisions. I literally said to him, how did you know!? I took it as a sign because the way it happened was just too crazy. Like my Mom says, God must've planned that one! I am about to embark on an incredible journey! I posted on twitter: So a manager just perfectly explained to me my life plan w/ the Disney company starting with the CP & working my way up #doingtherightthing And he didn't even know me. I'm taking it as a sign. #Newbeginnings I'm leaving today but I just know that this is the start of something wonderful (: #SOexcited #18days I traded some pins, we got some breakfast, (I just got a little thing of Rice Krispies) and then we went back to the room to finish packing. We went downstairs, checked in for our flights, and checked our bags right at the resort. BEST CONVENIENCE EVER. Then we went back up to the room, got our carry on luggage, and brought it to the car. From there we went over to Epcot! Dad and I went straight to Test Track to get more fastpasses. Mom and Jon went to The Land and would meet us there. Test Track was absolutely MOBBED. It was awful. I waited in a very long line just to get fastpasses. They were for 2:35 pm 3:35 pm which would thankfully work for us. We went to The Land so we could go to Sunshine Seasons for lunch! I was still SUPER full from Ohana but I figured I needed to eat. I posted on twitter: I can't handle anything more than a kids meal right now. #ohanahangover Jon and I both got Kids Mac and Cheese. It was SUPER good and it was such a perfect portion. You get the mac and cheese, 2 sides, and a little bottle of water for like $6. Its a really good deal. Jon also got Asian Chicken, Mom got a salad, and Dad got some chicken. But did they take food pictures? NO. Have I taught them nothing!?! Even though I was SO full I still had to get Strawberry Shortcake. I cant resist that stuff!! It's just so cold, the strawberries are so fresh, and the frosting is so fluffy! Epcot was SO CROWDED but the line for Living with the Land was only about 10-15 minutes. So we hopped in line! At least that was relaxing and enjoyable. Look at the little shrimp around the hidden mickey! Then we went on Figment! Always a classic. World Showcase was next. We walked to the UK, but then Jon and I decided we wanted to go on Gran Fiesta Tour. So we backtracked to Mexico! It had the longest line I have ever seen for this attraction. I posted on twitter: Welp. I know every word to the three caballeros song on the gran fiesta tour. #notmad Then we went back to Canada and met up with Mom and Dad. They saved us seats so we could watch Off Kilter! Random, I know. But like WHY HAVE I NOT WATCHED THEM BEFORE!? I posted on twitter: Watching Off Kilter in the misty and cool wether. Yup, just like the real Canada! Dad LOVES watching the bands in the World Showcase. That's literally all he wanted to do this day. But I mean... they were really good! Im so glad I finally had a chance to watch their show! That has to be such a great gig for them. They played the song Danny Boy which I sang in chorus my junior year of high school! I was so happy. Little side story apparently when Preston was younger, he found this random burned CD in his yard so he took it inside and listened to it. It was of this band called Off Kilter and he really liked them, but could never find anything about them. So when he went to Disney during his senior year of high school, he was at Epcot and he realized that Off Kilter performed in Disney. I swear, this kid and I were meant to be together. Too weird. So anyways around 3 pm we went to use our Test Track FPs. The line was still INSANE and it took about 20 minutes for us to get on the ride. Not terrible, but ya know. It was a good ride and a great way to start and end the trip! We walked out after that and went back to the Yacht Club. It was so cold and misty as we left the most wonderful place on earth. Bye, bye Yacht Club. I posted on twitter: The Yacht Club and I are now going to have to be in a long distance relationship. I will miss you, beautiful. We hopped in Brooke and drove to the airport. We parked her at the airport in long term parking so I could get her when I come down for my DCP! We went in the airport, got some Quiznos for dinner, and went through security. We flew JetBlue home. I spent the entire ride home typing up my trip journal which gave me a great head start on this trip report. Also, Jons headphone jack wasnt working for the TV so JetBlue gave us a $15 voucher! That was really nice. We arrived back home to the COLD. Yuck. We rented a car so we could drive it home, and I think I suffered one of my most unpleasant and coldest moments of my life when we were in that parking garage. People were just being crazy drivers, it was SO windy, and it was BEYOND freezing. Reality shock hurts, man. I would have been legitimately angry if I wasn't moving to Disney world in a couple weeks. I posted on twitter: Back in my city of current residence. Only 16 days until I go HOME!!! #18tillDCP So we drove home and I probably went to bed because I think we got home very late! THE END! I just wanted to thank you all so much for reading this report that was written in record time! Sorry to rush off, but I'm KIND OF LEAVING FOR MY DCP TODAY. OMG. Here is the link to my new DCP trip report. I hope you will all follow me over there. I can't wait to tell you all about my adventures! DISNEY COLLEGE PROGRAM - FRUMP STYLE! A Spring 2013 Adventure!

Wow!You did it!
I just spoke with the Guiness Book of World Records and they have certified that that was the QUICKEST Trip report ever posted! How cool to see the Under Armour football players!What you saw were guys who will be MULTI-MILLIONAIRES after their third year of college when they can go to the NFL. Those players were the BEST OF THE BEST! How cool to see the CPs being trained and the CM telling you your "WDW Job Progression"! He forgot to add that from Division VP,you will move up to Park President and then to President of THE WALT DISNEY WORLD RESORT!!!!(The second Meg Crofton!). I am so glad you saw Off Kilter!!!! You MUST go back when Jamie the bagpipes player is there! He wasn't playing the day you went,but he IS Off Kilter!He is the founder and an awesome musician and ENTERTAINER!!!! All the OK guys are AWESOME,but Jamie is really special! Well,it is GO TIME! I bet Brooke is going to be so excited to see you!I hope she doesn't have abandonment issues! I HOPE ALL YOUR CP WISHES COME TRUE!!!!JUST REMEMBER: "When stars are born, they possess a gift or two. One of those is, they have the power to make a wish come true. Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have the wish, I wish tonight. We'll make a wish, and do as dreamers do, and all our wishes (all our wishes), will come true. When you wish, upon a star Makes no difference who you are Anything your heart desires will come...to...you." Last edited by WEDWDW; 01-20-2013 at 08:32 PM. |

Tonga Toast is so goood!!! OM NOM! Im sad that the flights I booked for Jan ended up not working out with the ADR I had at Kona, so wanted to eat there again!!
Ah! That Mickey cloud is perfect! As if! HA! I love that you won a deer on TSM!! I didnt know that was one of the prizes, the perfect prize after that many rides!! Man, Ive always felt like I should be working out while at Disney, but I always feel like the walking is enough! I was doing the Sept Squat Challenge though, so 2 weeks in Disney during that there was some working out, but that was all haha. Oh Fantasmic! LOOOOVE it, I really do wish Meg would pop up more around the parks, shed be great to meet! Also, I love the expression on Berts face in one of those boat pictures, great! (also, he should come out more often!) I love that EE has a single rider line, it makes it so much easier to get in and out of there quickly! Ive definitely noticed that the Pooh m &g never really has a line, and when it does, its not long at all!! Theyre so cute!! Good on ya for being brave on Dinosaur, haha, I wont even really go on the ride anymore! Lawl. YUM! Grilled cheese & tomato soup is such a staple, and so delicious at that! Wow! That DHS pic with the balloons is great!! I love how it turned out! That sounds like a great way to end a Disney trip. (Also, love the kids meals, theyre perfect sized for me haha!) I hope that your CP goes absolutely amazing and is full of magic and awesomeness!! Hopefully Ill see you in Feb!!

You got lucky to only have to wait 10-15 minutes for Living with the Land. I was in Sunshine Season earlier that morning (maybe around 10am?) and the line was 50 minutes!!!
I'd wish you good luck for your DCP, but I don't think you need luck. I have feeling it will be one of the most amazing experience of your life. : |

It's like you have this blinking neon sign pointing to you at all times that says "MAGIC HERE" I mean... that's just crazy about that manager telling you all that stuff randomly. And Preston finding an Off Kilter CD in his yard is totally NUTS as well! Come on...that does not happen every day.
When I come visit you, I have to try that Strawberry Shortcake finally! In fact, I just need my entire trip Frumpified. Are you ready to take on that responsibility?! LOL. I've never sat and watched Off Kilter but I love British Invasion. "Sorry to rush off, but I'm KIND OF LEAVING FOR MY DCP TODAY. OMG." Umm BEST ENDING TO A TRIP REPORT EVER!

Mac and cheese is the perfect meal to get when you're not too hungry but still want to enjoy something tasty! I've gotten it a bunch of times (not as part of the kid's meal) so that my DH and I could share it when we each have our own salads. It's so comforting!

"Old Black Witch" is a wonderful children's book from 1963 written by husband and wife team Wende and Harry Devlin. It is a story about an old witch who haunts a tearoom! She doesn't much appreciate the mother and son who decide to convert her old New England house into a tearoom, and she wants them out of there! But in the end, the unlikely trio combines their efforts.
This is a highly collectible book, no longer in print. Available from Amazon (purchase here), eBay, or perhaps from your local library. Definitely worth a read- and not just at Halloween!
P.S. There are 2 sequels: Old Witch and the Polka Dot Ribbon (1970 - purchase here) and Old Witch Rescues Halloween (1972 - purchase here).

Queensland's Garden City is the last outpost between the Great Dividing Range and the red sands of the Western Downs. Situated 700 metres above sea level with views over the Lockyer Valley, the city is a popular escape for city slickers looking to experience the laid-back comforts of country hospitality.
With four distinct seasons and 150 public parks and gardens, Toowoomba truly lives up to its name in spring during the annual Carnival of Flowers, and the surrounding highlands offer excellent walking tracks through dense rainforest and waterfalls.
Visit one of Toowoomba's many country pubs for a chance to experience the historical setting of Steele Rudd's stories first hand and dig into a prime cut of locally produced beef paired with a bottle of your favourite drop.
With a colonial history tracing back to 1840, Toowoomba's many museums and galleries provide a time capsule of the city's pioneer past. The Cobb & Co Museum lets you re-live the tall tale of Queensland's first horse-drawn coach and mail service and the Milne Bay Military museum exhibits the history of Australia's armed forces.
If you're culturally inclined, spend a night out at the restored art deco Empire Theatre and enjoy a play at the largest regional theatre in Australia. Seating 1,600 people, the theatre has a long running track record as Toowoomba's premier stage and music venue.

So this looks like your office. Is that what this is?
This is it. This is where I keep the stuff that I don't want other people to mess with either because it's a delicate and valuable prop or because it's like, you know, dangerous. There's a lot of stuff in here when you start to look at it. This little guy is actually a remote-controlled spider.
Oh, yeah?
He's-- he's actually kind of delicate. I'll show you what's inside him. This is fully radio-controlled. He actually stirs.
No kidding.
He's got, you know-- there's a-- this is a classic little improvised project. These are the speed controllers. That's the radio receiver. The battery pack snaps on right here and these are little warm drive motors here-
That each drive a series of [unknown] gears that are attached to-- each one attached to a leg like that.
Oh, so it fits right here.
Yeah. And the shaft is bet and so it's like an ore sort of thing.
And when you look at it-- this is actually the kind of thing that I love because this is just a piece of brass tubing with holes cross-drilled in it.
And the other-- this is a really complex little machine that is done just by-- with a piece of brass tubing and little plastic gears that are shoved into it. This is sort of a-- it's a unique sort of thing because of all the stuff that, you know, when you realize the amount of leverage that goes on to these legs--
These legs by the way are-- they're waters dripping from the house that are found-- it actually works like shrink wrap. If you heat it with an air-powered gun or torch, it shrinks.
And with a soldering iron, I can make the little kind of separations in it, little spray glue and some hair on it and it looks like sputters like that they're extremely light. As you can see, they're just, you know, they're like feathers.
So what made you think to put the heat gun to that waters dripping one day to see what would happen?
Well, you know, it's just sort of-- it's what we-- what we do is we play with things.
And when you play, it's like, you know-- animals, you know, puppies play. When you play, you learn. It's how-- and so we just, you know, I'll see a material or something that-- like I noticed that this is really lightweight but I can't really work with it as far as a sculptural material because it's too slender. It probably wouldn't look very organic so--
And I can't stand on it very easily. It would be too tedious so I wonder what else, so I started messing around with it, you know, with the torch and with the- and I saw, you know. Wow, it actually responds to heat and then [unknown].
So but this thing-- it actually-- it's quite delicate that it's scary. When you get all of these moving, it's something that is really, really quite a piece of work.

Doris Rainville
Doris Rainville was born in Rhode Island in 1951. She was an only child who loved to play in the woods. Her family moved to Southern California when she was ten years old. After high school she attended Cypress College, majoring in Drama. She married in her early twenties and had two children, Joshua and Celestial. Since children have been a main focus in her life, she studied early childhood education courses at Ohlone College. She was introduced to Waldorf education while living in Oregon in 1979. Shortly after, she moved to Fair Oaks to study at the Rudolf Steiner College. Doris then had three more children, Grace, Anna and Christopher.
Raising her children as a single mother, creative effort was put forth in developing ways of supporting her children while staying home raising them. She developed a doll business and provided full-time childcare. Using her training as a massage therapist also became a part of her work at home.
When Christopher started kindergarten, she became a kindergarten assistant in a Waldorf home kindergarten. In 1993-1995 she worked at Live Oak Waldorf School in their kindergarten. She did the Kindergarten training at Rudolf Steiner College and has a B.A. in Liberal Studies.

Everything we've heard until now about the departure of Ross Levinsohn, from News Corp implied that the man who put together the deal to scoop up MySpace left voluntarily, to pursue other interests—perhaps to go work at a start-up of some sort. Sure his resignation was sudden and unexpected. But there was no indication of anything but good will on everyone's part. In fact, Business Week's story, "Why Ross Levinsohn left" reported "The company bid Ross Levinsohn a warm farewell and even suggested that a partnership with his new venture may be possible."
This interview at D7TV with Red Herring'sTony Perkins, however, has us looking to Levinsohn's departure in a new light. According to Perkins, Levinsohn was forced out when News Corp discovered that Levinsohn was raising money to start his own venture fund.
Here's what Perkins tells the D7TV interviewer: "He got raising money for another deal. So the chief operating officer Peter Chernin, who works for Rupert as his right hand man—when his kids aren't running the place, called Ross into his office and said, 'Is this true, that you're raising this half a billion dollar roll-up fund?…And he [Chernin] goes, 'Are you either in or your out?' And he [Levinsohn] said, 'Well, I guess I'm out."
Now the interview takes place at a party, and is very informal, so maybe we shouldn't take it too seriously. But Perkins seems very confident with his statement.

The liberation of CNBC's web presence from the shackles of Microsoft is almost upon us. The new site is scheduled to launch on Monday, December 4. The site has a very, very dull preview running right now, and invites you to register for, well, it's not exactly clear what you're supposed to register for.
Okay. We know you're excited about this. But you really will have to wait until Monday to see it.
Clairvoyance can be all fun and games but lest we run wild with our powers ("I knew you were going to say that!"), it's important to remember that it often comes at a cost. During last week's fireside chat per Episode 4, I wondered aloud, "How the producers are going to keep you and I hooked for the rest of the season after shooting their wad on this one, I have no idea but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it." Friends—that bridge is upon us. Episode five—what can I say? It was okay; but it doesn't hold a candle to episode four. Godfather I versus III, if you catch my drift. (Or Douglas as Gordon Gekko versus Douglas as Steve Tobias, if you're more comfortable with that analogy and I have a hunch many of you are). Watched E4 on Sunday, as usual, and have been sitting on this run-down ever since. Do it? Don't do it? Five little words—one ghastly dilemma. I put off dealing with it for a while—as people who embrace the 'ignore the problem and it'll go away' tactic are wont to do—but something from deep inside has been saying "Do episode 5, Bess. Do it now," since I woke up this morning (but conceivably that could be last night's bad Chinese talking). Despite its suspicious provenance, despite—nay, because of—the questionable spring rolls, I've decided, "I WILL do this, and now." Also, because Tim Sykes says, "I feel it's my duty to be the Godfather of throwing parties."
13D Tracker has the (maybe, probably) scoop:
Reports circulating that Kirk Kerkorian has sold his remaining 4.95% interest in General Motors (NYSE: GM). A large block of shares traded recently which is believed to be from Kerkorian. However, owning less than 5%, he doesn't have to file any public information on his trading activity in the stock.
In an earlier 13D filing, Kerkorian disclosed they agreed to sell 14,000,000 shares which brought his stake to 28 million shares. It just so happens that a 28 million share block trade crossed the tape at 2:41PM at $29.25 per share.

We're still searching for the identity of the "wealthy businessman" who reportedly crashed this Carrera GT after the owner let his friend take it for a test spin during a party in Port Chester, NY last Saurday. Because of the reported location–very near Greenwich, Connecticut–and the amount of disposable wealth involved–the driver bought his friend a new Carrera GT the very next day–we suspect that the driver or its owner might be a DealBreaker sort of guy.
So we're on the hunt for the identities of the people involved. But we need your help! Send your thoughts to tips(at) dealbreaker (dot) com, with the subject line "Car Wreck." Here's a hint: the driver broke his foot. So look around the office and let us know which bigshots are limping today! Thanks.
Update: Autoblog, our source for this story, takes it all back! So maybe the reason we can't find anything about the parties involved is that, uhm, it may not have happened.

Near the end of the New York Post's big business section article discussing the advice of some analysts that Citigroup break-off its investment banking business and concentrate on lending and retail, CreditSights analyst David Hendler advocates the revival of the storied name: Salomon Brothers.
"It's too big and management needs to realize that they have the skills and disposition to manage a lending and retail operation, not an investment bank," said Hendler. "If they did a spin-off and IPO, calling it Salomon Brothers, they'd get a huge multiple from the market. Plus, people might think they were really light on their feet for the first time."
You can almost see Sandy Weill spinning in his grave. Except for the part about not being dead yet.

The success of the Wii has many publishers scrambling to release games for the platform. The latest to pledge allegiance to Nintendo's new console is Data Design Interactive, a UK-based publisher of value-priced games.
DDI isn't taking the job lightly either. The company has announced that it is planning to release 13 games for the console this year, with a half-dozen expected in the second quarter of 2007 alone. The games may not be recognizable to many because they are ports of PC titles released in Europe.
The company has not yet announced whether these titles will be available in North America or how much they will retail for.
The following games are scheduled for release in Q2 2007:
Billy The Wizard: Rocket Broomstick Racing
Monster Trux Extreme: Offroad Edition
Myth Makers Super Kart GP
Anubis II
Ninjabread Man
Elviz: Rock N Roll Adventures
The following games are scheduled for release later in the year:
Hamster Heroes
Trixie in Toyland
Action Girlz Racing
Mini Desktop Racing
Myth Makers - Orbs Of Doom
London Taxi Rush Hour
Earache Extreme Metal Racing

In every part of our vast country you'll find unique experiences to make your dream holiday come true.
Discover rock art and rugged landscapes in a mountain range as old as the Dreamtime.
You can't miss the Grampians, a majestic island of mountain and forest rising out of flat farmland in Victoria's west. Its national parks are home to a huge array of native plants and animals and a rich and continuing Aboriginal history.
Most of Victoria's Aboriginal sites are here in the Grampians, known as Gariwerd to the Aboriginal clans who have been connected to the place for over 22,000 years. Evidence of their lives – including ancient oven mounds and 60 rock art sites with more than 4,000 different motifs – is scattered across the region.
Visit the famous Bunjil's Shelter and see Bunjil, the traditional creator of the land, depicted with his two dingoes. Walk round the Ngamadjidj Shelter and see Ngamadjidj's spirit dancing with white figures on the walls. Gulgurn Manja translates to 'hands of young people', and this shelter in the Northern Grampians is covered with small, red ochre handprints. You can also browse the Grampians' cultural centre or take a guided tour from Halls Gap for a richer understanding of Victoria's five Aboriginal communities.
Interwoven with this history are awe-inspiring landscapes forged millions of years ago. Trek the rugged cliffs and cascading waterfalls of Grampians National Park. Go fishing or canoeing on Lake Bellfield and Lake Wartook and get up close to native animals such as koalas, kangaroos, emus and wedge-tailed eagles. Travel to Mt Arapiles-Tooan State Park, where you can scale the dramatic rock formations. A little further afield is Little Desert National Park, where the heathlands throw vibrant wildflower displays from August to October. Explore the Grampians' vast sandstone mountains in a four wheel drive or experience their grandeur from a light aircraft.
However you absorb the ancient magic of the Grampians, we guarantee it won't wear off overnight.

text: Beth Ditto: I Wrote The Book (Video Premiere) Bradley Stern February 17, 2011 Beth Ditto, Christina Aguilera, Lady Gaga, Madonna, Simian Mobile DIsco, The Gossip, Video Premiere 8 Comments 297 Photo courtesy of SPIN. Madonna's making a serious comeback these days…and she's not even the one making the music. After Christina Aguilera's (critically panned) homage to "Express Yourself" with the video for "Not Myself Tonight", and the current brouhaha surrounding Lady Gaga's "Born This Way" and its not-so-subtle references to "Express Yourself" and "Vogue," there's never been more early '90's Madonna permeating the pop scene than in this moment. (Well, except for when she was actually living it.) Now comes the video premiere for Gossip front-woman Beth Ditto's "I Wrote The Book"–one of the four tracks from her upcoming Simian Mobile Disco-produced solo EP. In an unabashed nod to Madonna's "Justify My Love," Ditto finds herself wearily drifting down an empty hotel corridor, luggage in tow, in the opening moments of the brand new clip. Throw in the ballroom dance of "Vogue" (WORK!), the bed sequences from Truth or Dare, and all the light, mood and shadow of the entire Erotica era (down to the very font!), and BINGO: You've got yourself a proper Madonna homage. This is, hands down, the best celebration of the Queen yet. I love, love, LOVE everything about this! The Beth Ditto EP will be released on March 8. Share this Muusing:TwitterTumblrFacebookGooglePinterestEmailPrintMoreStumbleUponRedditLinkedIn http://sillyolddaniel.blogspot.com Daniel Oh and the Truth Or Dare towel turban as well, AMAZING. http://www.muumuse.com Bradley Stern YES!

I really want to see this one. MICHAEL Madonna wrote the book, don't test her. http://twitter.com/toysoldier Matte You forgot Brit's Radar video!

MoJoToGo Calculates Extraction Yield on Your iPhone
Posted on April 7, 2010 by Mike
Voice Systems Technology, Inc. has released a pretty slick iPhone app that calculates the extraction yields and TDS percentages of your brews.
Naturally a refractometer is still required to actually make calculations, but no longer are you dependent on Windows only software to make sense of what you are calculating.
If you're not sure why you need to MoJo your brew, James Hoffmann explains why you're lazy, and his recent Flickr upload suggests that he'll likely update that sentiment soon.

Promotion of a 580,000 BAM worth energy efficiency project
Brand New Outlook for the Bihać Cultural Centre
The dilapidated woodworks were replaced, thermal insulation set and the new biomass boiler was installed as the part of this project. This will provide for a reduction in heating costs for up to 70% with a parallel reduction of the greenhouse gasses emission for almost 40%. In addition, the EMIS information system was introduced. This system will enable the remote monitoring and control of energy consumption. It is also expected that these new circumstances will encourage local pellet producers (biomass used as an environmentally acceptable fuel) to expand their production.
The project was jointly implemented by UN Environment and Climate Change Programme (jointly implemented by UNDP, UNV, UNEP, FAO and UNESCO, funded by the Government of the Kingdom of Spain), USAID Energy Efficiency Economy (3E) project, Government of Una-Sana Canton and Bihać Municipality.
"The pilot project demonstrated extreme possibilities for savings in both energy and money that can be redirected to the areas of greatest needs. Una-Sana Canton and Bihać Municipality are thus setting the example in terms of advanced use of resources and environment protection. The UN Environment and Climate Change Programme has, so far, assisted in the adoption of 37 Local Envrionmental Action Plans (LEAPs), 5 Sustainable Energy Action Plans (SEAPs). This programme is, throughout BiH implementing 32 projects worth 3.2 million USD", said Zahira Varani, UNDP zamjenica rezidentnog koordinatora u BiH.
"Bihać was the only town in Bosnia and Herzegovina that had projects funded from all four programmes of the Millennium Development Goals Fund awarded to Bosnia and Herzegovina: cultural projects were implemented, a water supply network from Kulen Vakuf to Martin Brod was reconstructed, CISO centre providing assistance for the unemployed youth was opened. The project we are opening today is a fine example of a smart use of resources and the creation of synergies between environment protection and economic development", stated H.E. Maria Aurora Mejia Errasquin, Ambassador of the Kingdom of Spain to BiH.
"The project will provide heating for three public facilities. The newly installed boilers are using a renewable source of energy – the biomass pellets as a fuel. The use of pellets reduces the emissions of CO2 and it also supports local economy – providing for the opening of jobs, since these pellets are produced by local companies. In order to reduce loses with regard to heating and to improve the comfort of the Cultural Centre, the building was thermally insulated and its windows replaced. The environment needs to be protected for future generations and in the future we have to invest into renewable sources of energy and energy efficiency," – said Mak Kamenica, Deputy Director of the USAID 3E Project.
UN programme Environment and Climate Change is a USD 5.5 million program supported through the Millennium Development Goals Achievement Fund and funded by the Government of Kingdom of Spain. The Programme is jointly implemented by United Nations Development Programme/United Nations Volunteers (UNDP/UNV), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) in partnership with the BiH Ministry of Foreign Trade and Economic Relations, the BiH Ministry of Civil Affairs, the RS Ministry of Civil Engineering and Ecology, the RS Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Water-Management, the FBiH Ministry of Ecology and Tourism, the FBiH Ministry of Agriculture, Water-Management and Forestry, the participating municipalities and civil society organizations.

Show support, get supported
We're in the middle of November, and most if not all the fall conferences are behind us. This year I attended the NAB Radio Show, the 125
What's missing from the fall conventions? There are fewer sessions, and some are repeats from other shows, but they are usually worthwhile. And except for the AES, there are few new product introductions in the fall. Because the AES caters to the pro audio crowd and not specifically to broadcasters, the AES will have more new products on display. (I still wonder how many less than $100 condenser mics we really need.) So overall, the fall convention experience can be just as valuable.
Most of the fall shows are regionally based, which adds the benefit of seeing people from your immediate area. You may see the guys from the next town at a monthly SBE meeting, but now you have a chance to attend a session together or visit an exhibitor's booth. This is a great opportunity to bounce ideas around.
This year, the larger fall conventions were held in Austin, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Madison. I also know of some smaller but no less valuable shows in Columbus, Indianapolis and Anchorage.
When someone laments that attending the NAB Show in Las Vegas is too expensive or too far, I ask if he attends a regional show. Quite often a regional event is less than a 300 mile trip for many people, but the same excuse is given. "It's too far."
Does the event need to be held in your own back yard before you'll go?
This apathy has caused the demise of some previously popular events, like the SBE conferences held in Seattle and Phoenix. I hope that one day they will return.
So while you may have missed your chance this year, I hope you'll take advantage of attending a fall convention next year. These conventions need your support, and you'll get something in return, so don't let the chance pass you by.
Not all the same
Waiting for the show to come to you is the tact of some traveling road shows I have seen. Some of these are very vocal about being purely educational, although it's easy to see through that disguise. Any opportunity to network with others in your profession is a valuable experience, and certainly take advantage of the situation, but take the program for what it's worth. Is it really an equal substitute for a regional convention? Even though it's billed as being educational and not a sales pitch, it is really providing a fair taste of the new technology, or a skewed perspective based on a pay-to-play business plan?
Some look more like Professor Marvel's caravan (that's a Wizard of Oz reference if you missed it) than an educational opportunity.
If it's all you can do to get to the event in your own back yard, take the opportunity. But don't ignore the possibilities of taking a little extra effort. The reward is much greater, and it's not flavored with some sweet-talking sales pitch.
What's your opinion? Send it to email@example.com

Manda: I think rap is still great, but it's more homogenized now. It's on the radio all day, it's immersed in pop culture. [During the time of the Tunnel] it was still underground. Even though Bad Boy was mainstream, the lifestyle was new.
Rosenblum: People waited all week long until Sunday to go to Mecca, to go to the Tunnel. It was something to look forward to. Hip-hop is pop music now, it's part of mainstream culture and it's available everywhere.
Gatien: The Tunnel had a vibe like nothing I've ever seen before. It was the kind of night where almost nobody left alone. There was so much networking, whether it was business networking, or people networking, or girl-boy networking, whatever. So much talent came through, so many deals were made. What other night in New York can people still reminisce about almost 15 years later?
The Tunnel symbolized my entering into hip-hop. That was the last era of real hip-hop, when performing at a club made you official.
Flex: LIV, in Miami, is built on the Tunnel format.
Rosenblum: Mecca started hip-hop on Sundays in America—it didn't exist before. But almost 20 years later, look at what it is—LIV on Sunday is the ultimate result of that.
Cipha: Bottle service killed the clubs in New York. It changed so much after that. I hate clubs now. I hate them with a passion. They're tiny, and they're fucking filled with tables and bottles.
Beck: It was a fun place to be. It was exciting, it was dangerous. As far as nightclubbing, you were part of a legacy, because I doubt there will ever be another Tunnel. Anyone who would let that happen is absolutely foolish.
Gatien: I don't see the possibility of ever doing a large event again, at least in Manhattan. What's developed over the years is zero tolerance for any kind of illegal activity that may occur in a nightclub. But if it happens in Madison Square Garden or almost anywhere else, there's an accepted tolerance that if you get 2,000 people together, stuff happens. The standard that the powers that be—specifically police enforcement—hold clubs to is just unobtainable. Nobody is responsible for everybody's behavior, except in a nightclub.
DMX: The Tunnel symbolized my entering into hip-hop. That was the last era of real hip-hop, when performing at a club made you official. I miss hip-hop.
Parker: It's really the strip clubs that are like the Tunnel: Perfection in Queens, Sin City in the Bronx.
Flex: Sometimes I like the strip-club parties, sometimes they're boring. But that's where the game is at now. It might change again.
Rosenblum: I miss all kinds of kinds of things from back then—I miss Biggie, I miss the people I worked with. But I don't believe that you wallow in the past. People say, "Oh, nightlife is not like it used to be." That's the most boring conversation you can have. I hate when people come up to me in the club and have this conversation. I'm like, "Shoot me, because now you're really ruining nightlife, tonight." Wherever you are, whatever the era is, whatever the party is, make it the most fun you can.
Juvenile: I feel good knowing that I had an opportunity to rap on a stage where some of my idols did shows. When I walked in, I knew the history; I knew it was a train station turned into a club, and I knew it had a lot to do with hip-hop. It was the biggest club in hip-hop history—I don't think you could put any club in front of the Tunnel.

David Knight, who injured his hip in Round 1 of the E3 World Championship in Spain last weekend made an amazing comeback this weekend to ride through the pain to score a 1-2 for the two competition rounds in Val De Cambra in Portugal.
Riding with the help of pain killers, David showed he is much more than just a superb rider to take the top step on the podium on Saturday, after which he said. "I was first in all the tests but the Enduro was very difficult. There were deep lines and lots of dust so it was hard to see. I think this was one of the hardest races I have ever had, especially in the last lap when I started to stiffen up. I took some pain killers before the race but really had to dig deep to concentrate. Now I just have to get through tomorrow and I can rest up and decide what to do about the injury."
And get through Sunday he did. Knighter came home in second place after another courageous ride where a lot of the race he had to stand up on the pedals, certainly no easy task given his injury. His weekend rides garnered him 47 championship points, but above all sent a signal to his opponents that he is still in the business of winning E3 races. He now has a chance to rest up until the next round of the competition set for Italy in a month's time. Taddy Blazusiak, who injured his thumb last week in Spain did not race this weekend.

The Gods have disappeared and the old sun has died, letting a vile twilight engulf the world of Nyn. In exchange for all treasures the mortals possessed, the evil giants agreed to forge a new sun and hurl it into the sky.
But the deal was betrayed, the treasure stolen and now the mortals flee the wrath of the giants. Under the light of a new sun the mortals stumble into a world changed and twisted by an age of twilight. The long journey home has become a conquest of survival.

INDIO, Calif. (AP) The Riverside County Sheriff's Department says a sexually violent predator has been returned to a state mental hospital after violating the terms of his release while traveling in the Coachella Valley.
Sheriff's Capt. Dan Wilman says Steven Joseph Willett was taken into custody Tuesday after surveillance showed that the 57-year-old violated the terms of his court-ordered conditional release.
Under the agreement, Willett is not allowed to contact or date women. Wilman says Willet contacted an undercover female sheriff's deputy at a Coachella Valley bus stop, followed her onto the bus and tried to encourage her to come back to his residence in Desert Center.
Willett was declared a sexually violent predator in 1997.

White Sox' Jeff Keppinger produced last season when Rays let him swing away
By Daryl Van Schouwen firstname.lastname@example.com February 14, 2013 10:41PM
Sox outfielder Jordan Danks was in uniform as the Chicago White Sox defeated the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 Thursday June 7, 2012 at U.S. Cellular Field. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Updated: February 14, 2013 11:43PM
GLENDALE, Ariz. — Jeff Keppinger handles the bat well, is tough to strike out and hit a career-high .325 last season.
Manager Robin Ventura has him in mind at the top of his order, probably second, but last year with the Tampa Bay Rays, manager Joe Maddon simply turned him loose like a cleanup hitter. Keppinger fits the mold of a situational hitter, but he was anything but as a Ray.
"They kind of told me to just go out and do my thing, go out there and hit,'' Keppinger said Thursday. "It was the first team I had been on where they just let me go. They didn't want me doing the little things. They didn't want me moving runners or sacrifice-bunting.''
Keppinger said he liked that.
"You look at his track record and what he does and what he's capable of and you would like to have him up there as a high-average, contact guy that can move the ball around,'' said Ventura, who wants the Sox to score in more ways than via the home run. "He can hit the ball out of the ballpark, too, but he's a professional hitter.''
Keppinger batted everywhere but leadoff last year and batted second only three times. He hit fifth 35 times, sixth 31 times and fourth 22 times. He struck out 31 times in 418 plate appearances.
"When I was a little kid, I used to cry when I struck out,'' he said. "I felt like everyone was looking at me and upset with me that I didn't hit the ball.''
Morel of the story
Ventura didn't rule out giving third baseman Brent Morel a look at shortstop, allowing him an opportunity to showcase some versatility that would enhance his chances of making the team. Morel has been swinging the bat well as he attempts to come back from a back injury.
"We need him to continue to show where he is physically once he gets into playing on a daily basis and diving for balls and running the bases and playing the game at full speed,'' general manager Rick Hahn said. "So far everything has been real encouraging.''
Rios eager for WBC
Alex Rios, who reported early, said he is "proud" to be playing for Puerto Rico in the World Baseball Classic.
"It's something every ballplayer looks forward to, playing for your country and playing in front of your crowd,'' Rios said.
For starters
Dylan Axelrod will start the Cactus League opener Feb. 23 against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Chris Sale will be the first front-line starter to pitch, on March 1.

HD Tune Pro
Version and / or Patch Used: 3.00
Developer Homepage: http://www.efdsoftware.com
Product Homepage: http://www.hdtune.com
HD Tune is a Hard Disk utility which has the following functions:
- Benchmark: measures the performance
- Info: shows detailed information
- Health: checks the health status by using SMART
- Error Scan: scans the surface for errors
- Temperature display
HD Tune Pro gives us accurate read, write and access time results and for the last couple of years has been gaining popularity amongst reviewers. It is now considered a must have application for storage device testing.
Read Tests
Once you get into numbers this high, synthetic benchmarks don't really cut it anymore and they start to lose their value with what to expect in real world applications. Here we see Areca's well known RAID 0 performance; this is what put them on the map with enthusiasts. The iStorage Pro iT8SAE performs well in all of the tests shown.
Write Tests
The write tests are a mixed bag; the Areca controller shows us slower numbers than the Read test, but the LSI is faster.

I like the larger tile, it seems closer to the counter/backsplash and I think perhaps would be less busy. But I think you won't go wrong with the Gramercy Park front runner. Personally not keen on the whitest one, that seems to add another tone to your kitchen. Which looks beautiful, by the way!! |
You are right - Gramercy Park Hampton Beige looks the best, i think. I really wanted to use Gramercy Park in my kitchen, but the colors were just a little off for me. It was the nicest crackle tile I found.Did you try the off white color in the Gramercy line. Once you get it home, you might like it too. Very nice kitchen, too! |
The larger tile in group shot #2 looks very close to the color of countertop on my monitor. If that is the case, it gets my vote. I think it would give a more seamless look to your kitchen. Love the floor, wall color and your cabinets. Since you have the 4 inch Ceasarstone backsplash, you could just forego the tile. The kitchen looks very nice with just the painted wall and no other backsplash. |
First - thanks everyone for your kind comments on my room. I know it's very different from a lot of the kitchens seen on this site and isn't everyone's taste but I tried hard to keep it in character with the rest of my home. I think I mostly succeeded; even the contractors who come here for other trades have said it came out rather well. I did it all on my own as far as picking materials and designing the overall space. I did have a local kitchen designer work with me to draw out the plans, but for the most part, I led him, not the other way around. The Hampton's Beige and the Breton Beige are so similar it's hard to tell them apart. It's more the sizing and shape of the tile at this point - the Gramercy Park tile is smaller and has more rounded edges. As far as the white tile, I just through it in there to see the contrast as so many people said "try white", even my boss - who is a pretty well known architect in NYC. I told him I didn't think it would work too well - he said "white goes with everything" and I said "Um, not in this case lol". I think he was saying it because he has a ton of leftover white subway tile at home he's trying to get rid of :P Designnov - I did try the off white. The problem with it is it had an odd tone to it next to the counter - which is the issue I was having with many off-whites. I was also given a few other colors by the WZ rep, some darker ones and a blue toned one (I forget the names off hand) but none looked good with the counter although, great with the cabinets and floor. I'm telling you, this counter turned out to be more problematic than I thought it would be considering how neutral it is. Badgergirl - I can't go without the splash as I mentioned, because I'm having several problems without it. Worst is the faucet handle is chipping the paint behind the sink. We had to adjust the location of the faucet because the deck was shallower than we anticipated (in fact, we had to twist the faucet to the left a smidge in order for the handle to go all the way to "hot"). Also, you'd be surprised just how much grease winds up on each side of the stove in spite of having the hood and 4" splash there. And of course, I need a splash behind the range. That Viking puts out a ridiculous amount of heat and it's a hazard not to have something fireproof behind it. I never did a tile splash in my other home, I had the 4" splash in granite there but I also didn't have a professional range there. I had electric (blah!) with a very large back to it and pretty much nothing splashed over it. I also had wallpaper which was waterproof and easy to clean down. |

So I'm a complete nube that planted a variety of fruit trees in my back yard this spring (all 3-5 years old, bare-root) and they were all doing fantastic, but I recently started seeing some issues with the leaves on my apple and pear trees with the leaves curling and eventually turning yellow/black and falling off and what not.
In the beginning, I thought it was just from them being over watered (it literally rained for about 1 1/2 months straight, nearly every day here randomly and despite it being May and June it was quite cold out; Western Washington this year had weird weather). I noticed a lot of trees in my area seemed not able to decide weather it was fall or spring/summer. But once the leaves started turning black, despite it being ridiculously sunny most of July, I figured there must be some other problem. So I went down to the store and bought a general purpose all-in-one fruit tree spray. So here's my stupid question. On the instructions it says "spray in 7-14 day schedule until the problem disappears". So am I to read that as "spray once a day for 7-14 days until the problem disappears" or "spray once every 7-14 days until the problem disappears"? Right now I've kind of gone with the half way between the two approach, spraying the trees three times in two weeks, which I figured was OK, because in the middle it rained really hard for a few days, presumably washing away the spray on the leaves. I have seen some good results too from spraying so far. But now that it's back to being sunny, I figured I should ask here before accidentally damaging my trees from over spraying or under-spraying them and allowing the disease or insect or whatever to continue to harm them. Also any other spraying or other tips for fruit trees would be much appreciated. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Do NOT spray once a day! The instructions mean to spray every 7-14 days. But don't do that, either. The stuff in that all-in-one spray may not address your problem and may cause additional problems. First, find out what's really wrong. |
- Posted by awesometastic1 none (My Page) on Tue, Jul 24, 12 at 16:37
Ok here's a gallery of the leaves on three apples and one pear: http://imgur.com/a/0SPXv (click on the pics to zoom in closer) The trees seem to be doing overall much better since I sprayed them (before they had many black leaves that have now fallen off and most of the new and remaining leaves are showing less and less sign of a problem). But anyways, any idea what's actually causing the problem? |

Arizona State University will add at least $317 million in buildings and infrastructure by November 2005, under a plan approved Friday by the Board of Regents.
Five new research buildings totalling $187 million will be funded through the infrastructure bill passed this year by the state Legislature. An additional $130 million in bonds and private donations will cover a new business school complex, renovations of laboratories and infrastructure improvement.
"This is the best package we've seen in a long time coming out of ASU," said Regent Don Ulrich.
Regent Fred Boice chimed in his support for the buildings, but asked for a more detailed analysis of how the university will pay annual maintenance costs of more than $5 million. ASU President Michael Crow said the university plans to cover the costs with grant money, and he will soon present more detailed finances.
The new buildings approved Friday include the $73 million second phase of the Biodesign Institute, and:
• A 180,000-square-foot life sciences and technology building, set for the center of the main campus next to the Engineering Center. The facility will house the life sciences, bioengineering and urban environment departments — three of the university's "high profile" disciplines.
The $74 million building, set to be completed in November 2005, will offer laboratories, classroom space, and faculty and staff offices.
• A 60,000-square-foot geosciences and materials building that will house four disciplines: Geological materials, engineered materials, thermal sciences and nuclear magnetic resonance.
The university's facilities are in poor condition and are not equipped for state-of-theart research in these areas, according to a report given Friday to the board. The $18 million building, set to be completed in April 2005, will be in the north end of campus, next to the facilities management building.
• By November 2005, ASU East will receive its first research facility, a $12 million building that will house the Applied Cognitive Science Institute, the Healthy Lifestyles Institute, the applied biological sciences and some biotechnology components of the Biodesign Institute.
• ASU will contribute $10 million toward the Arizona Biomedical Collaborative in downtown Phoenix, near the Translational Genomics Research Institute. All three state universities will participate in clinical research, applied research and biomedical education and training at the $27 million facility scheduled to be completed in November 2005.
• The new business school complex on the southeast corner of University Drive and Mill Avenue was approved Friday but will not be funded through the research bill. Instead, ASU has rounded up about $35 million of the $80 million needed through bonds, and Crow told the regents Friday that the university is looking for private donors.
The complex will include a residential, retail and academic component, with a density similar to the Brickyard on Mill project in downtown Tempe, Crow said.
Also on Friday, the regents gave preliminary approval to a new heat and power facility, which has not been priced yet but will be paid for by partnering with an energy services contractor. The building will accommodate the increased power needs of the laboratories on campus and will maintain power in case of a grid failure.
The infrastructure improvements approved Friday will go to all of the university's campuses and will include $10 million to renovate about 33,000 square feet of outdated laboratories and $7 million for road and utilities work on the East and West campuses. An additional $32 million for telecommunication and infrastructure improvements already have been approved by the board. And $1.6 million already had been allotted to renovate the exercise and wellness building at ASU East.

Let me introduce you to some interesting people that I met and saw in Mexico. Whoever I met in Mexico, they gave me a great smile and were very friendly. During my travels there I never had a single unpleasant experience or met any rude people.
When talking about interesting people I met, I have to start with Leslie Téllez, the Mexican-American food blogger. I had met her in NY last year with my other friends when I invited the judges from my Korean food photo contest to my house for a Korean food party. Each judge brought 1 friend, and Leslie was one of the friends.
She gave us a Mexican food tour! It was really fun. Thanks to her, I learned a lot about Mexican food, fruits, and culture. Later, after we separated, I visited the delicious taco place she took us to, and bought some fruits, cheese, and sausage in the markets she recommended. I was lucky to have such a reliable friend in Mexico. I'm going to write another blog post about Mexican food later, you'll hear all about it.
Leslie and I met on Feb. 2, which was the Mexican holiday of La Candelaria. A friendly passer-by lent us her baby Jesus doll even though we didn't even ask for it.
"Oh, my baby Jesus looks comfortable"
"Welcome to Mexico!"
Does he remind you of someone familiar? : )
"10 peso for this!"
"How about my blue mask? I can beat your white rimmed sunglasses!" Tortilla maker in Mexico city.
A big smile causes him to close his eyes! : ) Mariachi band on a boat in Xochimilco.
Ooh, the man with charisma!
Thick and low voice from deep chest, "Besame mucho~"
"Show me your respect by paying 10 peso to listen to me grinding this organ!" : )
"Where shall I put my precious baby Jesus? Yes, it deserves to be on the top of my body"
Don't miss taking a look at the cute little girl on the right. Cute!!
The comfortable and quick subway.
Demonstration in Mexico city.
"One, two, three, one, two, three!" They are practicing aerobics. The lady with the red jacket is their teacher. What an unusual looking aerobics instructor she is!
I saw this scene from the bus when it stopped for a few seconds. I took this photo through the bus window. They are kissing, rubbing, and squeezing each other. : )
"Did you miss me?"
"Yes, a lot!" : )
The lady in the white gown is offering checkups. "Check up! check up!"
"I have salt and pepper hair, but I'm still good at shining shoes! Please call me shoe-shine boy!"
That means Villa is popular? They like Villa?
These scooters looked very interesting!
Charcoal BBQ in an Oaxacan market.
"Don't forget to pay me for these vegetables."
"Nice meeting you again!"
When did I meet her? Just 10 minutes before, in the market.
Mommy mommy, please let me sleep!
"Oh, how much did you pay for the garlic?"
"20 peso"
"Wha? you were ripped off!"
Fishing boat in Puerto Escondido.

Curriculum, Rotations, and Seminars
During the first year, students take an integrated curriculum that forms the foundation of their graduate training. The core curriculum consists of four courses:
- BRTP 821: Macromolecular Structure and Function (PDF)*
- BRTP 822: The Cell and Gene Regulation (PDF)*
- BRTP 823: Molecular Cell Biology (PDF)*
- BRTP 824: Cell Signaling (PDF)*
* To view and print the PDF files you will need Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0. If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader 5.0 you can download it free from Adobe.
During the first year, students usually perform research rotations in four laboratories. The curriculum, along with research rotations, provides the first year student with a strong, multidisciplinary foundation that is important for success in modern biomedical research. In addition, students can attend a wide variety of regularly scheduled seminars given by research scientists visiting UNMC.
Subsequent Training
After the first year, students then complete the curriculum of the selected department. Additional course requirements depend upon the interests and goals of the student and are defined on an individual basis by the student's Supervisory Committee. A comprehensive examination is required for admission to Ph.D. candidacy. After the second year, students spend most of their time performing the Ph.D. thesis research project. The Ph.D. is awarded upon the successful completion of the thesis research dissertation.

Breakfast Topic: If you could add one new feature {WoW}
Jun 3rd 2009 10:31AM I'm split between starting an alt at a higher level than 1 and player/guild housing. One of my favorite features of Star Wars Galaxies (oh memories) was player housing and guild halls. A friend of mine shared a house with me (which was built within our guild created city!) and the walls featured all the weapons and armor we ever used and anyone could walk into the house and look around. If you sold stuff and had a vendor machine it doubled as your business too!
Maintenance for Tuesday June 2nd {WoW}
Jun 2nd 2009 12:27PM How can you hate on Rick Astley? The man was a great vocalist! And how can that other dude call that song unpopular when it was released? It was a worldwide number one hit!

For some reason, I'm not entirely clear on this.
The Lycanthrope card states:
Whenever you defeat another character in battle or psychic combat, the defeated character must roll 1 die on the Werewolf's chart instead of you claiming your normal reward.
Does the phrase "normal reward" refer to whenever you want to take an Object instead of taking a life from a character, or does being defeated by a Lycanthrope not result in a loss of a life, unles he rolls a 2-4 on the chart ?
We've always played that any character defeated by the Lycanthrope must roll on the Werewolf's chart (as the Lycanthrope can't take any objects as a reward during the Night) and only if that roll results in a loss of a life, does the victim lose a life.
Or does the defeated character lose 1 life, as per normal psychic/batlle rules, and then rolls on the Werewolf's chart?

Use this form to get a username and password!
We went to a skater park to meet a hot new friend of ours. I think she just wanted to show off her nice ass in her booty shorts. Every chance we got we were trying to get a glimpse of her tight beaver. The pussy print on her tight shorts had us wet and ready for action for we persuaded her to come back to our place for some dripping snatch fun.

MMOUI Minion beta released {WoW}
May 29th 2009 11:52AM This minion pisses me off. After I updated my addons, it *installed* 2 addons I didn't have/want... something called "Chinchilla" and something called "Fubar_FarmerFu". While the interface is nice, it shouldn't install addons I don't ask for.
1-60 in 20 minutes {WoW}
Sep 1st 2008 9:19AM That's not really a fair timing... From the looks of it he had to level two new characters on the recruited account to 60 first. Even with triple XP, that had to take quite a bit of time.
