Autodesk products unable to start client session with error 1.5.-18 unsupported feature
When you tried to start a network version of an Autodesk product from a client computer, the product did not start and you received the following error message:
The network license manager was not able to get a valid license. If this problem continues, please contact your system administrator. Error [1.5.-18]
The debug.log file for the license manager may also include the following message:
Error Code: [1.5.-18] unsupported feature
This error occurs when the program that needs to be authorized does not have a feature code that matches the authorized codes in the license manager. For example, if AutoCAD® Mechanical is authorized and the full installation set is installed, a user who attempts to open Autodesk® Mechanical Desktop® will receive the error message.
To resolve this issue
- Ensure that the proper program has been installed on the client computer.
- Check the debug.log file for the license manager to determine which products are authorized and which product was denied a license
- Make sure that the proper profile has been selected. Some Autodesk products are installed with multiple icons that specify more than one profile for an Autodesk product. Ensure that the correct icon has been selected to start the program. Check the settings of the icon properties to ensure that it specifies the correct profile. Follow these steps:
- Right-click the icon. Click Properties.
- In the Target box, locate "/P" in the string.
- Ensure that the profile name listed after this switch is correct.
- Add licenses to the license server for the required product.
- If you are running an Autodesk "Series" bundled product, ensure that you have a license file generated for the correct product. All products within a series use the same series feature code. For example, Autodesk Inventor® 5.3 installed from the Autodesk Inventor Series bundle cannot use a license file with the 41700INVNTOR_5_3F feature code; it must use a license file with the Autodesk Inventor Series feature code, 40900INVBUN_5_0F. See related solutions for a list of product feature codes.

The Dream at 50
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
Sports bring people together in a way nothing else can, as evidenced by one of baseball's proudest moments when Jackie Robinson made his debut in 1947, breaking the color barrier.
However, many people may not realize that this momentous occasion occurred seven years before the Supreme Court's landmark Brown vs. Board of Education decision and 16 years before Martin Luther King Jr.'s Great March on Washington, which took place on August 28, 1963.
Fifty years ago today, King delivered his most seminal speech, proclaiming his dream; a message that resonated through the National Mall to the quarter million people in attendance. And while the process of realizing that dream endures, great strides have been made in the last half century. This is especially true in sports, where players of all races and ethnicities stand as teammates and competitors, side-by-side.
Sports can often serve as a catalyst for social change, and baseball is proud to have such a great leader as Robinson as a role model for equality in our game. In his spirit the Washington Nationals are dedicated to continuing to make a positive social impact here in D.C. As part of this commitment, the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation invests money and resources to our local community, and will open the doors to the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy in Ward 7 this fall.
Major League Baseball also carries on the ideals of the Civil Rights Movement through programs such as Reviving Baseball in Inner Cities. Likewise, MLB Commissioner Bud Selig's mandate to encourage minority hiring for the top positions in the game was the first of its kind in professional sports in 1999, predating the NFL's Rooney Rule by several years.
So as we pay tribute today to Dr. King and his dream of equality, let us also celebrate the role baseball has played toward equal civil rights in America.
Showing Heart and Hustle

Ian Desmond has already been named an All-Star and has won a Silver Slugger Award in his career. With a few more plays like the barehanded one he made on Mike Minor's slow roller last night, he may add a Gold Glove to that register at some point. But tonight, he can take great pride in earning the Heart & Hustle Award, an accolade seemingly created for a player like Desmond, who is growing into a leader both on the field and in the community.
The Annual Heart & Hustle Award recognizes one player on each Major League team who demonstrates a passion for the game of baseball and best embodies the values, spirit and traditions of the game. Of the 30 winners from each Major League team, one player will be chosen as the final Heart and Hustle Award recipient, as voted on by the more than 6,000 members of the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association. This winner will be announced at the Legends for Youth Dinner, held in New York City on November 19, 2013.
"We can't control results, but we can control what we do off the field," said Desmond in regards to his work in the community, particularly with the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy. "We're called to do more than just get hits and play defense."
Former Washington Senator and current Chairman of the Board of the MLBPAA, Jim Hannan will present Desmond with his award on the field prior to Tuesday night's game vs. Atlanta. Desmond has been the Nationals nominee twice in the past, in both 2010 and 2011. Teammate Kurt Suzuki was also the Oakland Athletics nominee in both of the same years.

Living the Dream

The Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy, set to open in the fall of 2013, will focus on creating an enduring environment for high-quality, after-school and summer programs that integrate baseball, academics and the value of teamwork in a safe environment for youth living in neighborhoods east of the Anacostia River.
Ian Desmond has been supportive of this project every step of the way, becoming a YBA board member and helping the dream of the Academy become a reality.
"We have an opportunity as the Washington Nationals organization to influence young peoples' lives," Desmond said. "That's what we're called to do. We're called to make the next generation better than the generation we're living in now."
The article Living the Dream from Issue 3 of Nationals Magazine – on sale August 5 – details Desmond's involvement and gives fans an inside perspective into the life and background of the Nationals shortstop.

Krol, Rendon Host PLAY Clinic
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
On Tuesday, Nationals trainers and players hosted the PLAY Clinic, in partnership with the Taylor Hooton Foundation and MLB Charities. PLAY, which stands for Promoting a Lifetime of Activity for Youth, is a public awareness campaign founded in 2004 by the Professional Baseball Athletic Trainers Society to promote a healthy lifestyle and encourage daily activity among youth.
"Childhood obesity was rising in the early 2000s and they were directly tying Type II diabetes to inactivity with kids," said PLAY campaign coordinator Zachary Reed, who hopes this clinic will encourage kids to be active for at least 60 minutes each day. "From the year 2000 to the year 2004, it had spiked. About 25% of kids were obese, so the campaign was founded to get kids out for some more activity."
More than 60 children from Kyle's Kamp and Ward 7 in Washington, D.C., were on hand at Nationals Park to learn about various topics including healthy eating, injury prevention and strength and conditioning, while also improving their baseball skills.
Brian Parker of the Taylor Hooton Foundation kicked off the clinic with a chalk talk about the dangers of steroid abuse. Head trainer Lee Kuntz then demonstrated proper stretching techniques in the Nationals bullpen to warm up the kids for the day's activities. Second baseman Anthony Rendon and pitcher Ian Krol also stopped by to share their daily routines with the children, from agility drills to the importance of staying hydrated.
"It's great that the kids are able to meet the players and see a little bit of what we do throughout the day. We hope to instill those [lessons] and get kids back into baseball," said Kuntz.
"They realized how important it is to get outside and be active," said Krol. "In this day and age, you see all the kids with electronics like iPads and they don't get to experience great things like sports and other activities."
One of those fun activities was their own Home Run Derby, the "grand finale and the fireworks" of the PLAY clinic, as Kuntz described it. For many kids, including the Kelley brothers – Jaden, 8, and Cristopher, 9 – the derby was their favorite part of the day.
It is now their charge to incorporate the invaluable lessons they learned in their everyday lives. "Stay healthy, drink water and eat vegetables," was Jaden's key takeaway from speaking with Rendon and Krol.
With the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy expected to open later this fall for youth in Wards 7 and 8, many of these PLAY clinic participants will have the opportunity to continue to learn and practice the fundamentals of baseball and softball while also taking part in health and educational programs.
The Desi And D-Rob Alliance
Follow @Nationals on Twitter | Like the Nationals on Facebook
Washington and New York have a lot in common.
Where D.C. is the center of governmental power, New York is the hub of the financial world. The District, The Big Apple. Defending champions of the National League East, defending champions of the American League East.
So it's only fitting for us to partner together for a common cause – to get our deserving candidates to the 2013 All-Star Game, which will, of course, be played in New York. Pooling our collective energy, we hope to land both Ian Desmond and David Robertson into the Midsummer Classic.
We've already detailed for you the many reasons why Desmond should once again be an All-Star. Just as Desmond's accomplishments have been at times overshadowed by his fellow teammates on the left side of the defense – Bryce Harper and Ryan Zimmerman – so have Robertson's. After all, it's hard to be a relief pitcher in pinstripes not named Mariano Rivera.
But Robertson is 4-1 with a 2.23 ERA in 39 appearances this season. In 36.1 innings, he has allowed just 23 hits and three home runs while walking 12 and striking out 46.
And for everything these two do on the field, they are both some of the most active off the field in helping their communities as well. Though Desmond doesn't advertise his charity work, he does, in fact, sit on the board of the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy, and is one of the strongest forces behind turning the dream of the Academy into a reality. The Academy is set to open its doors for academic programming in the fall, with full baseball clinics beginning next spring.
But what's the meaning behind Robertson's #HighSocksForVotes? Well, High Socks For Hope, a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Corporation, was founded by Robertson and his wife Erin after tornadoes ravaged David's hometown of Tuscaloosa, Alabama in 2011. High Socks For Hope's mission is to lend support to charities and organizations helping those affected by tragedies and to provide humanitarian services for individuals in need.
Of course, D.C. and New York have their differences, too, but those only make them stronger when united. The Nationals fan base is the youngest and one of the fastest-growing in baseball. The Yankees fan base is arguably the largest in the game, with the sport's longest legacy of winning. Hopefully, by joining forces, we can get two great players – and great men – into the Midsummer Classic.
Vote #DesiIn13 at nationals.com/vote. And while you're at it, make sure to mark your ballot #HighSocksForVotes too. You can also text N1 and A3 to 89269 to vote for Desmond and Robertson, respectively. Unlimited voting ends July 11 at 4PM ET.

The Washington Nationals Dream Foundation held its annual Dream Gala this past Saturday evening at Sidney Harman Hall, across the street from the Verizon Center in downtown Washington. The black tie optional affair celebrated the recent ribbon cutting of the Washington Nationals Diabetes Care Complex at Children's National Medical Center, and looked forward to the opening of the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy later this fall. The event included 550 attendees and netted more than $200,000 for the Foundation's efforts. The Nationals and the Dream Foundation would like to thank all of those who contributed and those who worked hard to help this event come together.
Washington Nationals Dream Foundation Breaks Ground on Youth Baseball Academy
Tuesday's sweltering heat didn't stop the Washington Nationals from celebrating the official groundbreaking for the Washington Nationals Youth Baseball Academy in Fort DuPont Park. Expected to be completed in the Summer of 2012, the Youth Baseball Academy will be comprised of three baseball fields, and a state-of-the-art athletic and educational facility with classrooms, community rooms, a teaching kitchen and indoor training facilities.
Emceed by MASN play-by-play announcer Bob Carpenter, the groundbreaking ceremony featured a variety of dignitaries, including Washington Nationals Dream Foundation Chair Marla Lerner Tanenbaum; DC Mayor Vincent Gray; Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton; DC Council Chair Kwame Brown; Mickey Fearn from the National Park Service; DC Councilmember Yvette Alexander; William H. Hall and Greg O'Dell from the Washington Convention and Sports Authority and Kimball Elementary School Principal Sheil'a West-Miller.
Nationals Executive Vice President and General Manager Mike Rizzo and shortstop Ian Desmond were also among those who spoke about their enthusiasm to provide children with the life skills necessary to become better students, better athletes and better citizens. Other players in attendance to lend their support to the historic event included Danny Espinosa, Jerry Hairston Jr., Adam LaRoche, and Drew Storen who took time out to play catch with children from Kimball Elementary School and Sousa Middle School, the two schools that border the Academy.
With a strong sense of excitement and anticipation for the Academy and its future benefits to the children of Ward 7, dignitaries joined members of the Lerner family and the Nationals to break ground, officially commemorating the beginning of construction of the Youth Baseball Academy.
The ceremony was a culmination of more than five years of planning, fundraising and collaboration between the Nationals and their political, civic and community partners. Modeled on the successful Harlem RBI program, the Academy will provide the children of Ward 7 the guidance, resources and support necessary to become resilient adults.
The Nationals look forward to the bright future that lies ahead.

The Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office held a ceremony on Monday to swear in 17 new custody deputies. It was the largest custody deputy hiring ceremony in the agency's history, according to the Sheriff's Office.
Approximately 500 people applied for the jobs. The Sheriff's Office says the hiring process was extensive and included training and a background check.
The new custody deputies will next attend a ten-week training academy to prepare them to work in the Santa Barbara County Jail.
The Sheriff's Office says it is looking to hire more custody deputies to fill vacancies at the jail and to staff the North County Jail, which is expected to open in 2018.

I wish my camera took better pictures :(
We have local nursery that has beautiful plants, but the majority of them don't have names on them, which drives me crazy. I was there last weekend and saw an interesting rose. When I asked the guy what it was, he said "It's an antique rose". I said "Okay, but what's the name". He told me it was called Don Creeper. I had never heard of that, so I went home and looked it up and couldn't find anything. I had heard of Ralph's Creeper, so I looked that up and I'm pretty sure that's what it is. I went back to buy it and they had another rose they didn't have last week. We had a dejavu conversation. "What is this rose". "It's an antique rose". "Okay, but what's the name". "It's called Cardinal". The leaves were really shiny and it was so healthy looking that I decided I would take a chance and get it without reading about it first. Of course, I can't find anything on it. There were a couple of roses with the name Cardinal on HMF, but there's not much info and no pictures. I really have my doubts that Cardinal is this rose's name and I also have my doubts that it's an antique since I'm pretty sure Ralph's Creeper isn't an antique and he told me it was. He told me that it will get about 3 feet tall and has a spreading habit. Here it is next to one of my Drift roses to show you a comparison of the leaf and bloom size. You can kind of see the shiny leaves in this one. Also, there's no fragrance. |
Follow-Up Postings:
Which of the two roses is the one in your lovely photos? Dawn Creeper is pink and old-fashioned looking. It could be the first rose you wrote about, and I'll put a link below. Kardinal is another spelling variation, but the one I know is a hybrid tea rose. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Dawn Creeper
So, there really is a Dawn Creeper. I was just spelling it wrong! I still think mine is Ralph's Creeper instead of Dawn Creeper. Here's the picture of it: |
I think that you are right -- it looks like Ralph's Creeper. When I was searching for something else, I came upon a photo of a new rose called "Thrive" with blooms and leaves that remind me of your first photos. I'll put a link to the HMF listing: |

They hit the mini indoor skate ramps and shot hoops on the a basketball court. The groms can't wait to get real jobs. Scroll down for all the images and be sure to check out Barron Mamiya's sick air!

Hi, I was hoping to make 5-1-1 for my vegetables but unfortunately it doesn't seem like i will be able to get any bark except reptibark this year. I had no problem finding gritty mix ingredients but it's all used up for my perennials. My choices for potting mix this year will be limited to Fafard organic potting mix and Fafard professional potting mix. Fafard Organic potting mix Fafard professional potting mix Unfortunately i cannot find any percentages or ratios for the components but i will assume each has too much peat moss. Right now i'm leaning towards the pro mix mainly because of the mysterious "organic wetting agent" in the organic. Is there anything i can do to improve this potting soil effectively without bark fines? Would adding reptibark and more perlite be an option? Edit I should have mentioned that i don't have access to composted bark fines in the title but i can't edit it. |

Repitbark or perlite are definitely options, although the more expensive options as compared to pine bark. the pine bark mulch doesn't have to be composted. Mine isn't. Just hate to see you spend a fortune. |

Blue Posts and Other WoW News: New LFR items update {WoW}
Dec 14th 2011 10:16AM I'm glad to see Blizz doing this. My husband did LFR Deathwing and we watched as a Prot warrior walked away with the AGI Polearm and AGI 1h Axe. Safe to say the Hunters and Druids were pissed for losing the polearm and the Rogues and Enhance shammys pissed for losing the Axe.
If the game didn't have such idiot players like this warrior that needed on gear they shouldn't be using, we wouldn't NEED a function such as this!
It's the old saying toward Hunters: Just because you can use it, doesn't mean you should!
(and I'm a hunter myself x3)
5 things WoW could learn from Star Wars: The Old Republic {WoW}
Dec 13th 2011 1:08PM "While transmog has revolutionized our gear and outfits, we are still bound to the same skins and face options from seven years ago."
This is one of many issues I have had with Warcraft for a long time. I'm tired of my character looking like every other character of that gender and race. I began playing an Orc female about five years ago because there was maybe three other female orcs on that sever at the time. Now they are more common. There goes my uniqueness ;_; Transmog does A LOT to make your character stand out amongst the crowd of clones, but I would love to be given more options to change the way my character looks. It amazes me that the leading MMO lacks this option. I would rather see upgrades to the graphics and the characters we stare at then have another world ending boss.
Breakfast Topic: What do you listen to while playing? {WoW}
Dec 13th 2011 9:34AM Depends! If I'm doing PvP (like AV) I love to listen to Humans Being by Van Halen on repeat. I mean...The opening to that song was MADE for mount raiding! When I was getting the Explorers cheevo I listened to Poker face by Lady Gaga on repeat because the beat was in perfect sync with my Zulian Tiger the whole time xD (this was before Cata. no old world flying :( ) Aside from that, I have Pandora playing or my iTunes on shuffle. A Mix of Marilyn Manson, Creed, God Smack, Disturbed and Pearl Jam xD (pretty weird combo, huh?)
The Daily Quest: Oh no no no no no no no {WoW}
Oct 14th 2011 2:23PM XD Poor kitty! I guess he doesn't want to be on Youtube. Understandable. It's bad but adorable all at the same time! /comforts kitty.
Around Azeroth: Tame the rainbow! {WoW}
Aug 6th 2011 4:25PM This is oh so lovely x3
I tamed Kirix yesterday. It was -NOT- easy. 'specially since I was doing it wrong (yeah. my fault xD) He murdered A LOT of Hunters that were just running out there, throwing down a frost trap and doing /tame. I stacked up on haste..Reforged my gear to haste, bought haste food and pots off the AH when I had to repair my gear from the many slaughters by Kirix, and returned to MF to try again. My fault was I was trying to beat him BEFORE his megatoxickillyoufastdead attack finished. xD A Hunter friend of mine said "no no! pop D just a second before he uses his toxic attack THEN tame!" Finally got him after that xD He was well worth it! I helped that same hunter tame Det'Tilac the same afternoon ;D All I have left to get is Solix, Skitter and Anthriss!
Breakfast Topic: How do you blend marriage and playing WoW? {WoW}
Aug 2nd 2011 9:10AM My husband actually got me into WOW. We have been spending several blissful years playing together. Our raid night with the old guild was pretty much date night for us. Going into Karazhan and kickin' down boss doors and takin' names. Shortly after Cata we both agreed that we were sick of blizzard's shit and quit. I started playing again recently and he has moved on to RIFT, but we are both Hardcore gamers and have a deep respect for that. So WOW and MMO games in general cause no strain on our marriage whatsoever. I am a happy girl for this. I'd hate to have to choose between my husband and my games 9__9
and on a side note..I can't stand girls that hate games DX I wish I could sit them all down in a chair hanging over burning oil and give them a history lesson as to why games are so AWESOME
Breakfast Topic: How do you let off steam? {WoW}
Jun 4th 2011 10:30AM Same here!
Listening to Poker Face while getting 'The Explorer' achievement was the only way I could keep from pulling my hair out xD (This was before Cata. no flying in old world!)
If you have epic ground speed, the stride of the zulitan tiger mount is almost in perfect sync with the beat of that song. xD
Patch 4.2 New Hunter Pets: Ahnka {WoW}
Jun 1st 2011 1:22PM Well. There -was- talk to making a male and female version for each Warlock pet. Who knows when they will ever get around to that (if ever)
At least in Rift I can NAME my Warlock pets! It's amazing how something so tiny can be so refreshing.
I know your pain. I had a lock to :(
Patch 4.2 New Hunter Pets: Ahnka {WoW}
Jun 1st 2011 1:15PM *sigh*
Here we go with Blizz being lazy again.
Out of all the spectral models out there, they simply chose to re-use Gondria only change the color from purple to white and darken it a bit? THIS Should have been Gondria! This should have been a graphic upgrade for her since it's such a pain trying to see a dim cat. Seriously, blizz? You are given the chance to make some UNIQUE pets and you choke.
I think I speak for the rest of the hunter community when I say.. "Where are the damn Hydras??"
Yes. I am a bitter Hunter. Who wouldn't be after this sad, poor excuse of a Glyph? "Glyph of Lesser Proportion"
*Hunter Rage!*
Breakfast Topic: What keeps you playing? {WoW}
May 23rd 2011 10:13AM To be honest, I got bored of Warcraft a long time ago. Each expansion was the same ol thing. really didn't bring anything 'new' to the game as far as game play goes. That's what I've been hoping to see for the past several years. I quit raiding back in wrath so once I get my characters to 80 and now to 85..there's nothing left for me to do. I focused on mounts and achievements on one character and then the achievement hunting got dull. I quit WoW shortly after Cata then game back after seeing the recent Hunter changes and talk of a flying lion mount in the blizzard store! I fiddled with the hunter changes and waited for the mount and I quit once more. All of my guilds left Warcraft for Rift so I don't even have my old friends to stay for and joined them there as well. I've been enjoying the many aspects of Rift. 'specially the character customization. It's REALLY nice to have a character that doesn't look EXACTLY like everyone else. That was always a turn off for me when it came to Warcraft.
So in short.. all I was playing for were my Hunter pets and mounts. That's no reason to keep playing a game. Having game content for ALL PLAYERS should be in a game whether it be raiding, role playing, PVP or.. hell..even player housing!
I know I'm beating a dead horse, here, but the OLD Starwars Galaxies had the right idea. It did, however, lack in 'raiding content' but it had an explosion of things to do for the non-raiding gamers.
I want to see warcraft add these features because I love it! I didn't want to leave for another game! I hoped and waited that maybe..just MAYBE they would actually open that big portal in stormwind and give us player housing and at the very least add more features to creating our characters. To be honest, I'd rather see an nice, new updated version of the character I've been playing for the last seven years then worry about the newest instance ;-; I suppose 'new hair styles' is.. kind of a step in the right direction? maybe? I don't know how long it would me or someone else playing, but it would still be a huge step in the right direction!
So, For now, I part ways with my sweet, sweet warcraft. Though I will be watching and waiting for things to change :3

It was before 27 years you beat last time man utd at old Trafford and you have done it in style.congrats and third place is yours:-)
It's pretty funny how you guys switch from a good manager to a seemingly better one every time. I remember S'ton fans were all very disappointed to see Nigel Adkins go, then Pochettino does even better and now Koeman (though it's early days) even improved a squad that was bled dry.
Majority of fans thought saints would going to get relegated,but I always thought they did a pretty good in transfer market, too early,yet they play better football than last season and am really happy with that:)
When Poch left I really wanted Adkins to return but Koeman has me over the moon now. I never doubted the players he brought in though, very good quality and thought they would needed time to gel but that's been proven wrong as well; they hit the gate running. Only issue will be when injuries start to come and depth issues surface, so we can only hope it doesn't happen
Incredible the way Koeman built up a completely new team after just one match. Now all Soton need is a completely fit team for the rest of the year...
Agreed, I had my doubts at first but he's really proving himself well, especially after the main consensus was that the team was done for. Replaced all the departures really well, hopefully the team stays healthy
Even with all the departures, there's still plenty of potential for this squad. The Liverpool game was promising, imo Soton deserved a draw that game, but today's game against WBA was pretty dull. The team probably just needs to gel a bit more but outside of Tadic, there was little offensive threat. Pelle needs to adjust quick, look very isolated and poor out there. The good news is that left sided duo of Bertrand & Tadic is very threatening and Forster proving to be a great purchase. Jay Rodriguez couldn't come back soon enough though

Human rights victims to receive compensation
-A A +ASunday, February 27, 2011
VICTIMS of human rights violations during the Martial Law years will get their compensation Monday after a United States court approved the distribution of $7.5 million to settle a class action suit filed against former dictator Ferdinand Marcos and his family.
"Twelve victims of Martial law will initially be rewarded a modest but meaningful sum in the local currency equivalent to $1,000 each as compensation for their torture, disappearance and summary executions," said Rod Domingo, the victims' Filipino counsel.
Domingo said his American co-counsel Robert Swift, Commission on Human Rights (CHR) Chair Etta Rosales, former senator Rene Saguisag and Fr. Joaquin Bernas will attend the awarding ceremony, which will be held at the Club Filipino in Greenhills, San Juan.
Rosales was herself one of the victims.
Monday's event will be a prelude to the full distribution of checks to qualified claimants on Tuesday, March 1.
Domingo said claimants in the National Capital Region (NCR) are expected to appear and receive their respective compensations on Tuesday at the CHR office in Quezon City.
Distribution of compensations in the same amount throughout the country will follow, he added.
Last month, US Federal District Judge in Honolulu, Hawaii Manuel Real approved the distribution of the $7.5 million to the victims. The distribution will provide the victims their first opportunity to collect since they sued the Marcoses in 1986.
Earlier, Swift said claimants from Metro Manila must appear in person at the CHR office in Quezon City, and distribution will last only until March 7, with claimants assigned a single day for processing their claims based on their last names.
He said claimants who fail to come on their "designated date" may come on the afternoon of March 7.
He also asked them to bring the original notice they received, and at least two valid identification cards, such as passport, voter's ID, driver's license, or National Bureau of Investigation clearance.
A special power of attorney issued to a relative by the claimant will not be honored, and that relatives must present a death certificate in case the claimant is already deceased.
The initial batch of claimants was part of the 7,526 who were granted the indemnification out of the 9,539 victims who joined the class action suit against Marcos and his family.
The number has been reduced from the 9,539 due to questions of eligibility, prompting one of the groups in the class action suit, the Samahan ng Ex-Detainees Laban sa Detensyon at Aresto (Selda), to question the de-listing.
Fr. Dionito Cabillas, Selda secretary general, said Domingo and Swift should explain the basis of the de-listing, adding that many of those removed from the list of claimants have transferred residence, and, thus were unable to receive the second notice from the court sent in 1999.
The first notice was issued in 1993.
The landmark decision by the US federal court in 1995 found the Marcos estate liable for torture, summary executions, and forced disappearances of about 10,000 people and awarded the victims a total of $2 billion in damages.
Swift said the litigation to collect the 1995 judgment continues, so there could be additional distributions in the future. (AH/Sunnex)

Nov 5th 2011 1:26PM If you are Horde, the flight from Orgrimmar to Gadgetzan is direct (hop on the flight point then run to the kitchen for drinks and/or snacks, come back and you only need to fly the short distance to the CoT taxi drake).
Also there is an Inn that you can set a hearth to in the curving tunnel of CoT (between the taxi-drake and the Keepers of Time QM).
The Queue: Your Ex-Lover is Dead {WoW}

1.) login on main acct
2.) simultaneously login on f2p acct on toon that is level 10+
Getting to level 10 takes about 30-45 min of absent-minded 'work'. It also has the added benefit that Blizzard seems to send a 7 days free pass to any inactive paid acct that is linked to the Battle.net acct that you make the f2p account on. I used my 7 days on second account to kill 5 Allies in Exodar (I had my dwarfadin attack my main) to finish that achievement.
3.) use main to invite f2p
4.) main converts to raid
5.) log out on f2p alt
Patch 4.1: Combat log addons cause framerate issues {WoW}
Apr 26th 2011 6:24PM @ [Amiyuy] - mheh Curse is slow and insisting that I subscribe for a monthly fee for the privilege of updating multiple things at once isn't making me happy.
On the upshot, I do believe that I recognize your name from LJ WoW_ladies ;)
Patch 4.1: Combat log addons cause framerate issues {WoW}
Apr 26th 2011 5:27PM ....
It looks like none of my Addons are working and my WoW Matrix isn't connecting to the internet (no, I am not in the mood to manually update what little there is to update via Curse etc).
Additionally, a guildie of mine noticed that the RazrNaga keybindings issue reported on PTR went live - and unsurprisingly, he's not in the mood to remap all of his key-and-gaming-mouse bindings either.

Said piece of music (which I quite enjoy), has also had a beautiful piece of machinima done with it (which I also quite enjoy, despite it featuring a cute little gnome and despite mine being Horde for Life) which has been covered by WoW Insider's Machinima column.
The Lawbringer: Fighting the gold fight -- how the strategy must change {WoW}
Mar 18th 2011 5:58PM @Minstrel - there are no so-called honest power-levellers - take a good look at the next BG that you enter, out of 15 people, 2-3 are AFK leechers of which at least half are your power-levellers botting, time isn't a sink at all for power-levellers.

Feb 12th 2011 2:29PM @Sarah Nichol: awesome! it is good to see another Paradox Interactive fan - I'm tempted to buy their sequel to Victoria: Empire Under the Sun (I have EU, EUII, EUIII, CK, Vicky, HoI, HoII) - I can't quite remember which expansions I bought - WoW had me swallowed hook, line and sinker for 4+ years but am feeling an ever stronger call to return to the Paradox fold.
Is comparing your game to World of Warcraft really such a good idea? {WoW}
Jan 13th 2011 9:05PM Ad = short for advertising
Add = verb meaning to increase numerically or in wow-speak, extra mobs that showed up
Gotta love how some employee or rejected-by-WoW-cum-Rift-fanboi went to the trouble of making a profile to post on WoW Insider (as opposed to Rift Insider) :p
PS if I post about Monopoly (tm) or whatever the newest Zynga game for Facebook is - Cityville? those too will be deleted from World of WarCraft's forums - the criteria is copy-righted material that isn't WoW, not junk that WoW is allegedly afraid of. Coz everyone knows that Blizzard is quaking in their boots about the replayability of Monopoly and Cityville.

Blizzard working on ways to improve dungeon finder {WoW}
Jan 5th 2011 7:58PM @ Eirik
For those short on reading skills:
1.) he had 2 mages (85 + 82) freezing things into place for him and sheeping whatever we could for him
2.) "all 272 green junk and a relic meant for lvl 61 toons" means that he was ALL IN CATA greens - the inference is that it takes a special kind of dedication to avoid end-quests that give you the 308+ blues in a given zone like Hyjal
For those unable to put 2+2 together:
1.) telling you that I had: "2 guildies in vent, 85 druid healer and 85 mage" means that:
a.) we're were coordinating between the 3 of us
b.) 85 druid healer OOMing self to keep him up was unable to keep him up
2.) we weren't mean about it - we gave him a fair shot & we did manage to down 2 bosses, but that Erunak shaman kept wailing on him like a heatwave on a snowman. We even told him how to get gear he could easily obtain (ie finish all the Hyjal quests). We only checked PlayerScore after the third shaman attempt.
3.) if he knows he has 2 seconds ping, he shouldn't be queueing to tank
Lastly, yes I had received the memo - my main is a Heroics geared 85 warrior tank and I have an 82 DK tank as well. My motivation for checking out reg ToT was because my tank had managed to skip it in his levelling and I wanted to see the basic mechanics.

1 Now the Lord is about to lay waste the earth and make it desolate, and he will twist its surface and scatter its inhabitants. | 1 See, the LORD is going to lay waste the earth and devastate it; he will ruin its face and scatter its inhabitants-- |
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the slave, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the creditor, so with the debtor. | 2 it will be the same for priest as for people, for master as for servant, for mistress as for maid, for seller as for buyer, for borrower as for lender, for debtor as for creditor. |

6 Therefore a curse devours the earth, and its inhabitants suffer for their guilt; therefore the inhabitants of the earth dwindled, and few people are left. | 6 Therefore a curse consumes the earth; its people must bear their guilt. Therefore earth's inhabitants are burned up, and very few are left. |
7 The wine dries up, the vine languishes, all the merry-hearted sigh. | 7 The new wine dries up and the vine withers; all the merrymakers groan. |
8 The mirth of the timbrels is stilled, the noise of the jubilant has ceased, the mirth of the lyre is stilled. | 8 The gaiety of the tambourines is stilled, the noise of the revelers has stopped, the joyful harp is silent. |
9 No longer do they drink wine with singing; strong drink is bitter to those who drink it. | 9 No longer do they drink wine with a song; the beer is bitter to its drinkers. |
10 The city of chaos is broken down, every house is shut up so that no one can enter. | 10 The ruined city lies desolate; the entrance to every house is barred. |
11 There is an outcry in the streets for lack of wine; all joy has reached its eventide; the gladness of the earth is banished. | 11 In the streets they cry out for wine; all joy turns to gloom, all gaiety is banished from the earth. |
12 Desolation is left in the city, the gates are battered into ruins. | 12 The city is left in ruins, its gate is battered to pieces. |
13 For thus it shall be on the earth and among the nations, as when an olive tree is beaten, as at the gleaning when the grape harvest is ended. | 13 So will it be on the earth and among the nations, as when an olive tree is beaten, or as when gleanings are left after the grape harvest. |
14 They lift up their voices, they sing for joy; they shout from the west over the majesty of the Lord. | 14 They raise their voices, they shout for joy; from the west they acclaim the LORD's majesty. |
15 Therefore in the east give glory to the Lord; in the coastlands of the sea glorify the name of the Lord, the God of Israel. | 15 Therefore in the east give glory to the LORD; exalt the name of the LORD, the God of Israel, in the islands of the sea. |
16 From the ends of the earth we hear songs of praise, of glory to the Righteous One. But I say, I pine away, I pine away. Woe is me! For the treacherous deal treacherously, the treacherous deal very treacherously. | 16 From the ends of the earth we hear singing: "Glory to the Righteous One." But I said, "I waste away, I waste away! Woe to me! The treacherous betray! With treachery the treacherous betray!" |
17 Terror, and the pit, and the snare are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth! | 17 Terror and pit and snare await you, O people of the earth. |
18 Whoever flees at the sound of the terror shall fall into the pit; and whoever climbs out of the pit shall be caught in the snare. For the windows of heaven are opened, and the foundations of the earth tremble. | 18 Whoever flees at the sound of terror will fall into a pit; whoever climbs out of the pit will be caught in a snare. The floodgates of the heavens are opened, the foundations of the earth shake. |
19 The earth is utterly broken, the earth is torn asunder, the earth is violently shaken. | 19 The earth is broken up, the earth is split asunder, the earth is thoroughly shaken. |
20 The earth staggers like a drunkard, it sways like a hut; its transgression lies heavy upon it, and it falls, and will not rise again. | 20 The earth reels like a drunkard, it sways like a hut in the wind; so heavy upon it is the guilt of its rebellion that it falls--never to rise again. |
21 On that day the Lord will punish the host of heaven in heaven, and on earth the kings of the earth. | 21 In that day the LORD will punish the powers in the heavens above and the kings on the earth below. |
22 They will be gathered together like prisoners in a pit; they will be shut up in a prison, and after many days they will be punished. | 22 They will be herded together like prisoners bound in a dungeon; they will be shut up in prison and be punished after many days. |
23 Then the moon will be abashed, and the sun ashamed; for the Lord of hosts will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before his elders he will manifest his glory. | 23 The moon will be abashed, the sun ashamed; for the LORD Almighty will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, and before its elders, gloriously. |

The Goldwater Institute expresses grave reservations over the forthcoming issuance of bonds by the City of Glendale to help finance the private purchase of the Phoenix Coyotes. The City appears to be taking an extreme and possibly illegal gamble with taxpayer money. The Institute plans to provide a formal evaluation of the deal in the near future, but releases this statement in light of the bond ratings issued Wednesday by Moody's Investor Service in connection with $116 million in bonds the City plans to sell next week.
The Institute has been examining the deal between the City of Glendale and Chicago businessman Matthew Hulsizer, in which the city would pay $100 million to Mr. Hulsizer to purchase the Phoenix Coyotes and $97 million to the team to manage the Glendale arena over the next 5½ years. The $100 million payment to Hulsizer will be financed through bonds that are supposed to be repaid from parking revenues. The Institute questions the constitutionality of the deal under the Gift Clause of the Arizona Constitution and as an enormous financial risk that would be borne by Glendale taxpayers. The deal was hastily approved by the Glendale City Council without the benefit of reliable or comprehensive financial analysis or a meaningful opportunity for Glendale residents to evaluate the deal in advance.
Although a more formal and comprehensive financial analysis will follow, the Institute raises the following specific concerns at this time:
1. As a result of the proposed issuance of bonds, Moody's reduced Glendale's overall bond ratings, which means that Glendale may have to spend more tax dollars for all of its debts and future borrowing. Among the factors contributing to Glendale's rating downgrade are "the city's high debt burden" and "high leverage of the city's largest general fund revenue."
2. The City Council was assured, based on a study by T.L. Hocking & Associates, that parking revenues would be sufficient to repay the bonds. As we will present in our more formal analysis, we believe that conclusion is inaccurate and based on faulty assumptions. Our investigation suggests Glendale residents will be forced to contribute heavily to the repayment of the bonds through taxes.
Moody's evaluation confirms that Glendale "has pledged a second lien on its excise tax revenues, which consist of unrestricted local and sales use taxes, state shared revenues, and other fees and charges to make [bond] payments." That means that Glendale taxpayers will pick up the tab for bond repayments if costs exceed parking revenues. If the Coyotes fail once again to become a money-making team, the financial exposure for Glendale taxpayers could be significant.
3. We have learned that Glendale's consultant, T.L. Hocking & Associates, on whose report the City relied in determining that parking revenues would be sufficient to repay the bonds, is the defendant in a pending lawsuit by Allstate Life Insurance Company. Hocking provided a similar analysis and financial projections to the Town of Prescott Valley in connection with the construction of an event facility, for which $35 million in bonds were sold in 2005. The bonds were issued at investment grade and later were downgraded to junk-bond status. Allstate was the largest bond-holder and sued Hocking and others for fraud. Allstate alleged that Hocking and other defendants "intentionally and fraudulently increased event and attendance projections to inflate projected revenue and achieve an investment-grade rating." Those are the same types of projections on which Glendale relied on Hocking to provide for this bond sale. On November 4, 2010, U.S. District Court Judge Murray Snow found that Allstate had stated a reasonable claim for fraud and refused to dismiss the action. Allstate Life Ins. Co. v. Robert W. Baird & Co., Inc., 2010 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 123834 (D. Ariz., Nov. 4, 2010).
The Goldwater Institute believes the financial risk of the Coyotes deal to Glendale taxpayers is far greater than disclosed to the City Council or to Glendale residents. Although we appreciate the City's desire to retain the Coyotes, the financial risk appears enormous and the transaction appears to violate the Arizona Constitution. We urge the City to reconsider its bond sale.

Discovery Bicycle Tours - 1.800.257.2226
"Every expectation was surpassed. You anticipate every need and satisfy it - so all of our energies can go into biking, hiking, and having the time of our lives."
Sherry Marder
Ownings Mills, MD
On a Bike Vermont bicycle tour, you ride at your own pace from inn to inn and enjoy fine food and great lodging. You are pampered by engaging leaders and supported by a van that moves your luggage and serves as your traveling snack bar and bike repair shop. This is our 35th year of leading bicycle tours and we take great pride in showing you the most beautiful and least traveled corners of our special world.
Your adventure is made up of a number of special experiences, both large and small. You will be enthralled with the handsome churches, spectacular views, historic sites, and quaint towns.
Equal to these larger sensations will be your memory of the bright taste of an apple you just picked; the friendliness of the owner of a general store; visiting a sugarhouse and sampling pure maple syrup; getting to know folks in your group; enjoying iced tea on the porch of your inn; riding a ferry across Lake Champlain; hiking on a forested trail; seeing deer on the edge of a pasture in the evening; listening to the clatter of your bicycle as you cross the hardwood flooring of a covered bridge; soothing your feet in the flow of a brook; feeling satisfied at the end of the day's ride; or taking an evening stroll along a quiet dirt road.
Part of the experience is also in the absence of things such as cell phones, billboards, decisions, cars, and bustle. The cycling is all at your own pace, but so is everything else. We do the organizing, the planning and the lugging. You enjoy yourself.
So while the cycling is an important part of the adventure, it is really just one perfect part of a total experience. You are engaged in a bicycle tour- and in a whole range of places, sounds, smells, and perceptions.
Please explore our list of Vermont bicycle tours, and our cycling tours of Ireland, Scotland, Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard, Maine, Italy, Quebec, and the Eastern Shore of Maryland, as well as our Cinque Terre walking tour!
