Could Facebook help control disease?
Researchers from Kansas State University are investigating if social media can keep us healthy.

Could a Facebook posting from just the right person save you from a nasty cold come wintertime? Can tweeting government officials or principals prevent the flu from spreading through schools or the community?
That's what researchers at Kansas State University, in Manhattan, K.S., hope to find out as they examine the role of social media — with its instant and comprehensive messaging capabilities — and our health.
The team's research shows epidemics can be controlled if populations take immediate preventive behaviour.
Now, through interviews and information collected from college students (who say they get much of their information from Facebook), they're hearing the same individuals would be willing to get flu shots, wash their hands or sneeze into their elbow if alerted through social media, knowing they'd be helping reduce the spread of disease.
But the researchers still need to determine what body would be best to send out alerts, warnings and accompanying precautions on social media.
"One thing we're discussing is whether it would be better to receive recommendations or advice from someone people know and trust personally, like a friend or university president … or an authority on the subject but (who) has no personal connection to most people," says Dr. Caterina Scoglio, an associate professor at the university and one of the researchers. "It may be something where a best friend has more influence than a public health official."
While the students say they are willing and interested in controlling disease, the preliminary research indicates they wouldn't cut themselves off from family and friends to do so.
Dr. Gary Brase, an associate professor of psychology at the university who studies decision making, says "if you think about how diseases are spread, one of the best things you can do is (avoid) other people. But we've seen that this is one thing that people are not very excited about."
As well as gathering information about human behaviour, the team is also determining target groups, that is, who should be getting alerts and warnings first.
The team has already identified teachers and public officials as important. Scoglio says these groups — and others like them — regularly interact with the public and could potentially infect large populations.

Palmer company seeking to create a "manufacturing mall"
- Jim Kinney, The Republican
Jay Ray, president and CEO of Detector Technology Inc., likens his company's expansion project to a manufacturing mall.
Think of storefronts, he said, lining the perimeter of a precision machine shop.
Each storefront, each distinct physical space in the plant, run by and representing a critical step or aspect of manufacturing, development and assembling highly technical products.
There will be one storefront for the metal supplier, one for the tool supplier, others for design and testing and so on, including an employee fitness center..
"It'll be like the Holyoke Mall (at Ingleside)," he said.
Only the customers will be Detector Technology itself and its machinists working on behalf of original equipment manufacturers, large and small, including making electron multipliers and and special electric motors for gas chromatography.
"I feel confident in what the market needs," Ray said. "We are a young company. Our average age on the manufacturing floor is in the 30s or 40s. Our management is younger. I know this helps us."
What the market needs, he said, is speed and consistency from design to fast-turnaround prototyping and proof-of-concept testing to assembly and testing all in one place done by the same people. The customers which Detector Technology seeks out don't have weeks or months to send parts overseas and need those parts and assemblies done to exacting specifications.
"Technology moves too fast for that," he said.
Those are the machines familiar to viewers of TV detective shows and are used analyze everything from breath to soil to blood at hospitals and laboratories, said Kevin Topor, Detector Technology's chief financial officer.

Taste that blackberry
- Details
- 26 August 2014 10:13am
If you ask someone if they've got the latest blackberry they're more likely to spout on about communication technology rather than the new thornless hybrid suitable for freezing, jams and winemaking. But fruit-lovers needn't fear, the common or garden bramble is still common and it can still be found in many gardens (intentionally or not). And if the thought of its tart and tannic flavours make you salivate then why not try a blackberry-tasting Merlot of Shiraz as well.
Barbecue time
- Details
- 18 August 2014 10:08am
Barbecues and delicate wines don't go together. To compete with the rich smells and flavours of barbecued food you need a wine that tastes of berry fruit. So what's needed are robustly-flavoured reds and fruitily-flavoured whites.
Lower alcohol, fewer calories
- Details
- 11 August 2014 11:42am
Inevitably some of us will have put on weight over the cooler months and, if like me, you not only cooked the food but ate it too then the waist-band button is probably straining a bit. But should the feeble warmth of spring finally give way to summer then legs and mid-riffs will be bared and that excess will have to go. So that means reducing the daily intake of calories.

Chilled rosés are light, but still flavourful, and are ideal for sipping on a hot day. That's why more rosé wines are sold during the summer than at any other time of the year. But how are rosé wines made?

Birthdays are funny things. They arrive without you really noticing and suddenly you are six years older. Which is what has just happened to this column – Paula's Wines of the Week is now six. It was July 21st 2008 when the first bargain wines were recommended and since then I've been sorting out the bargains from the you've-got-to-be-kidding bottles for you. So it's time for birthday cake and plenty of tasty wines to help wash it down.
Aldi's Venturer Wine series reviewed

Perfectly decent everyday wines made from less than everyday grape varieties sums up what Aldi's new Venturer range of six wines is all about. Priced at either £4.79 or £4.99, the wines designed to take the tastebuds of their wine-buying customers on the 'ultimate journey' are also there to help those customers who don't want to splash out an extra pound on their other new(ish) wine range, the premium Exquisite Collection.
Italian wine
- Details
- 7 July 2014 2:13pm
Italy is the world's largest producer of wine, producing 60 million bottles of it every year. And as about 4 million of these are exported to the UK then the chances of coming across an Italian wine in a restaurant, supermarket or garage forecourt shop are extremely high. So it makes sense to understand what you're getting before deciding to buy one of the multi-million number of bottles available. And the easiest way to do that is to read the wine label.

October 2014 is National Substance Abuse Prevention Month
In 2011 President Obama issued the first-ever Presidential Proclamation designating October as National Substance Abuse Prevention Month. The tradition continues in 2014 as parents, youth, schools and community leaders across the country join this month-long observance of the role that substance abuse prevention plays in promoting safe and healthy communities.
ONDCP Acting Director Michael Botticelli Speaks about National Substance Abuse Prevention Month:
View the President's 2014 National Substance Abuse Prevention Month Proclamation here.
Why do we recognize National Substance Abuse Prevention Month?
Every day, far too many Americans are hurt by alcohol and drug abuse. From diminished achievement in our schools to greater risks in our roads and in our communities, to the heartache of lives cut tragically short, the consequences of substance abuse are profound. Yet, we also know that they are preventable.
Preventing drug use before it begins-particularly among young people-is the most cost-effective way to reduce drug use and its consequences. The best approach to reducing the tremendous toll substance abuse exacts from individuals, families and communities is to prevent the damage before it occurs.
The President's Drug Control Strategy promotes the expansion of national and community-based programs that reach young people in schools, on college campuses, and in the workplace with tailored information to help them make healthy decisions about their future. In fact, recent research has concluded that every dollar invested in school—based substance use prevention programs has the potential to save up to $18 in costs related to substance use disorders.
This month we pay tribute to all those working to prevent substance abuse in our communities and rededicate ourselves to building a safer, drug-free America.
Drug-Free Communities: Prevention Around the Nation
Local problems require local solutions. To commemorate National Substance Abuse Prevention Month, Drug-Free Communities grantees across the country are holding local events and engaging their communities to help prevent youth substance use. Click on the map below to see more detail about their exciting activities.

If anything it is more the parents than the kids. Kids love it if the parents do and they adapt very well and easily to boat life.. Our daughter turned 3 on Saturday and already has lots of nm under her belt..
She loves talking to the seals:
And Dora in the "romper bed":
And steering:
And sailing:
I loved it as a kid and so does our daughter. All winter she has been asking when we're going sailing and for dinghy rides.

Waste container
- Wastebin redirects here. For temporary deletion of a computer file see Trash (computing).
- Litter bin redirects here. For a place for pet animals to 'go to the toilet' in, see litter box.
A waste container is a container for temporarily storing waste, and is usually made out of metal or plastic. Common terms are dustbin, rubbish bin, litter bin, garbage can, trash can, trash bin, dumpster, waste basket, waste paper basket, waste receptacle, container bin, bin and kitchen bin. The words "rubbish", "basket" and "bin" are more common in British English usage; "trash" and "can" are more common in American English usage. "Garbage" may refer to food waste specifically (when distinguished from "trash") or to municipal solid waste in general.
Curbside dustbins[edit]
The curbside dustbins usually consist of three types: trash cans (receptacles made of metal or plastic), Dumpsters (large receptacles similar to skips) and wheelie bins (light, usually plastic bins that are mobile). All of these are emptied by collectors, who will load the contents into a garbage truck and drive it to a landfill, incinerator or consuming crush facility to be disposed of. The standard size of a UK wheelie bin for household collection is 240 litres.[citation needed]
In some areas there is also a recycling service, often with one or more dedicated bins intended to receive items that can be recycled into new products. These bins are sometimes separated into different categories (usually represented by colors) which determine what materials can be inserted into the bin. The contents of the bins are taken to a recycling plant to be processed, and there are various systems for recycling bin collection: single bin combined stream systems, multiple bin systems, and cyclic collections with different materials collected on different days.
Bins in public areas[edit]
Certain public areas such as parks have litter bins which are placed alongside paths frequently walked by visitors. This encourages people to avoid littering, which creates an unhealthy and aesthetically unpleasant social environment. Public trash bins may be accompanied by recycling bins or "bottle bins" to be used for recycling glass and plastic. Some public bins, especially in "green" restaurants, accept organic waste to be composted.
Bins in outdoor locations or other busy public areas are usually mounted to the ground or wall. This discourages theft, and also reduces vandalism by making it harder for someone to physically move or maneuver the bins; to spill their contents on the ground for example, or to use the bin as an effective weapon to hit people over the back with.
In the past terrorists have left improvised explosive devices in bins. The bomb is much less likely to be spotted than an unattended bag and the metal bins provide extra shrapnel that injures people nearby when it detonates. For this reason there are no bins in most railway stations, most airports, and many shopping centres in the United Kingdom, or if they are provided they are just a bin bag hanging from a metal loop.[citation needed] The Bay Area Rapid Transit system in northern California also removed trash cans to prevent bombs from being hidden in them.[1]
A Danish design company called Peoples ApS, have in cooperation with Swedish based Dynasafe AB, developed a "bombproof" bin suitable for public places. The bins were successfully tested at Saab Bofors test center, an independent third party, using the maximum amount of explosives[which?] specified for the particular design.[citation needed] Shortly after the 2004 Madrid train bombings, the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority used about $500,000 in grant money from the federal United States government to purchase $2,000 bomb-proof trash cans manufactured by the Mistral Group, meant to direct the explosion upward. MBTA testing found the cans failed to contain an explosion using only 20% of the amount of explosive used in Madrid, depending on placement.[2]
Apartment buildings often have two dust flumes in which residents can dispose of their trash in stainless steel trash cans.[3] These chutes usually lead to some large receptacle or trash complex in the basement.
The term "garbage can" is also used for a model of decision making, the Garbage Can Model of decision making. It is concerned with cases of decision making in great aggregate uncertainty which can cause decisions to arise that from a distant point of view might seem irrational.
A "Trash can" metaphor is sometimes used for a place on computers which stores a collection of deleted files. Called "Trash" on an Apple Macintosh, BeOS, and other systems. Called the "Recycle Bin" on Microsoft Windows. Formerly known as "Trash" and "Wastebasket" on GNOME desktop environments, it is now simply called "Deleted Items"—the "trash can" icon remains intact, though.
In a workplace setting, a bin may be euphemistically called "the circular file". Whereas useful documents are filed in a filing cabinet, which is rectangular, junk mail and other worthless items are "filed" in the bin, which is often round.
Artistic aspects[edit]
When bins are in the shape of a living creature, the mouth is often used as the opening.
If no bin is provided, the weekly ritual of bin bags being ripped open by cats, foxes and rats continues and the streets, even in some affluent areas, can become filthy.
On the internationally distributed children's television series Sesame Street, the character Oscar the Grouch lives in a trash can, and his most famous song is called "I Love Trash."
Since the 1995 terror bombings in France, public trash cans have largely been replaced by transparent plastic bags, in which it is difficult to hide a bomb.

Described by the developers as 'A sim with a real personality!', SpaceColony is a simulation game developed by Firefly Studios that places you in charge of a small space colony ([[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin fancy that]]) on an isolated planet, where you gather, process, and sell resources, complete missions, [[NintendoHard keep your colonists happy]], and deal with whatever crises pop up. Best described as [[XMeetsY a fusion of]] ''{{Stronghold}}'' and ''TheSims''.
Gameplay involves placing structures such as mining facilities, assigning tasks to colonists, and then making sure they carry out those tasks properly. You also have to take care of the needs and wants of your colonists, buy and sell resources, [[AnInteriorDesignerIsYou furnish the interiors of the biodomes your colonists inhabit]], and manage the colony's defense if/when necessary. Eventually, you will have to deal with tourists as well. There are two campaigns in story mode, one military-focused and one civilian-focused, as well as single missions, a freeplay mode, and robust map and campaign editors.
The game has a fansite [[http://www.spacecolonyfans.net/ here]] with a demo download and lots of game info. It's also available on GOG.Com for $9.99.
Your [[RagtagBunchOfMisfits crew of social misfits]] are:
* Venus Jones - [[OnlySaneMan Only Sane Woman]]. The least dysfunctional person on the crew (relatively speaking), and the main character in the campaign.
* Tami La Belle - Alcoholic slacker.
* Dean Jefferson Brown - medical student, obsessed with cleanliness.
* Barbara Leechworth - Old, cantankerous CorruptCorporateExecutive.
* Daisy Willowreed - GranolaGirl.
* Billy-Bob Perkins - Friendly but dumb former chicken farmer.
* Greg Chesterton - [[CasanovaWannabe Egotistical sexist jerk]].
* Candy Simspons - DumbBlonde shopaholic.
* Stig Svensson - Norwegian biker.
* Babette Devereux - RichBitch. Utterly and hilariously useless.
* [[SingleMindedTwins Hoshi and Kita]]
* 'Nailer' [=McBride=] - ViolentGlaswegian [[FootballHooligans football fan]][=/=][[AxCrazy convicted murderer]].
* Capt. Charles Worthington - Stereotypical OfficerAndAGentleman type guy.
* Nikolai Volkov - Ukrainian scientist.
* Ashia Green - Former athlete obsessed with fitness.
* Vasilios Cosmos - [[EmotionlessGirl Emotionless Guy]], [[CloudCuckoolander keeps going on about the stars]].
* Bhoomi Sharma - Elderly lady from India.
* Mr Zhang - CoolOldGuy. The only cybernetics expert in the game; can build androids and such.
* 'Slim' - Spoiled 15-year-old skater punk who was [[ParentalAbandonment abandoned by his parents]] for being annoying.
!!This game provides examples of:
* AdoringThePests: One sidequest has your complex become infested with mouse-like aliens. Tami takes a liking to them.
* ArtificialStupidity: Stop letting the air run out!
** Stop letting the colony's batteries drain!
** Stop walking out into the crossfire during firefights!
** Why are you parking the mining dozer in the mess hall?
* {{Autodoc}}: Medibays. Anaesthetic not included.
* BadassBiker: Stig Svensson
* BigCreepyCrawlies: Big ants that will you eat your food, among other things.
** One of the first enemies you face are giant bees.
* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Barbara Leechworth, one of your colonists, and 'Mr. Waterhouse', the [[JerkAss generally unpleasant]] CEO of your company (although [[PetTheDog he has his moments]]).
** To the point in the Demo you have to build an android to defuse a bomb that would destroy the entire colony. Why? Because it's cheaper than evacuating the colony.
* DeathIsCheap: Well, expensive, anyway (as you boss keeps reminding you), but nevertheless it's possible to resurrect deceased colonists.
** And that's only on site. They come back for the main mission, provided a fail objective isn't that you have to keep everyone alive.
* DumbBlonde: Like, Candy!
* DysfunctionJunction: With the possible exception of Venus, ''everyone'' has some kind of problem or quirk or flaw or dark secret.
* EarthThatWas: In the game's backstory, humanity abandoned Earth due to resource depletion and severe overcrowding and now lives mostly in space, except for a subculture of so-called 'Landers' that colonize isolated planets. The Landers generally come from the absolute dregs of human society, and you play as the leader of a group of them.
** Humanity has only done this recently since everyone's background says they're from a country on Earth.
* EveryoneIsBi
* FutureFoodIsArtificial: your colonists' main food is a green sludge prossessed from local vegetation, which is then reconstituted into cheeseburgers and booze.
* FrickinLaserBeams: Of the "visible beam, instant travel" type.
* GRatedSex: A quickie under the covers.
* KillItWithFire: A rather severe way of dealing with the weed problem.
* NeatFreak: Dean.
* NeuralImplanting: Tired of waiting for your workers to learn? Use the Training Pod to download the info into their heads.
* NobodyPoops: Every bathroom-related need - showering, going to the toilet, shaving, whatever - is abstracted into a single 'hygiene' need bar.
* InSpaceEveryoneCanSeeYourFace: Averted, in game the only way to tell spacesuit wearing colonists and tourists apart is their name floating above their heads. However, the various in game videos still use this.
* PlanetLooters: ''Humanity''.
* PlanetOfHats: Averted with the Fribulans. Although they're generally hostile to you, non-hostile groups can be encountered.
* RagtagBunchOfMisfits: ''Hoo'' boy...
* SettlingTheFrontier: the premise of the game.
* SurroundedByIdiots and slackers and egomanics and hypochondriacs and so on..
* TheShrink: You can buy a counselling robot to help restore a colonist mental stability, but it does nothing for their long term problems. There is also a detention facility which serves the same purpose.
* ViolentGlaswegian: Nailer again.

Project 4 from Jody Lange's Sew Outside The Lines , this is the Liza top. A simple, but lovely 2 panelled top with ribbon tie neckline. i made it for myself, but Clare comandeered it as soon as I took it out to show everyone :)
I've added the pic of my second version which I made, this time with a front lining to enable going braless 9
(I hate looking at bra straps!).
Japanese Lawn, bias binding and satin ribbon.
I think it would translate beautifully into evening wear, if made in a slinky or shimmery fabric.

Google is set to institute a new policy in the Play Store, and it has some developers up in arms. A message in the developer console (seen below) has appeared asking developers to add a physical address to their account profile. For those offering paid apps and in-app purchases, this is mandatory as of September 30th. Failing to do so could result in Mountain View pulling the apps.

Samsung makes a lot of tablets. So many in fact, that it can be hard to keep track of which are the entry-level and which are the premium ones. Tab Pro? Galaxy Tab? No, it's the Tab S series that you want to lay your hands on if at all possible. Verizon Wireless has finally started selling the LTE-equipped 10.5-inch version for a cool $600 off-contract.
Do you want to become part of an unstoppable military machine with giant lasers and shiny white armor? Or are justice and freedom worth fighting for until the bitter end? You get to choose in Star Wars: Commander for Android. Joining the Empire grants access to powerful weapons, but the Rebel Alliance has clever tactics on its side. Whatever you end up doing, this game will still Force-choke your wallet.
You know what thermostats and smoke detectors need? They need touchscreens, and internet connectivity, and apps, and gesture recognition. The only way you're getting that is with Google's Nest thermostat and Nest Protect smoke/carbon monoxide detector. Now you can get them even if you're in France or Ireland.
You know the pain of watching a vertical video in a world based on horizontal players. Google took a swing at fixing that with the Google Camera app, which warns users not to do that. Horizon actually fixes the issue by letting you take a proper horizontal video while holding the phone in any orientation. It's magic!
OnePlus listed several features as notable when it announced the One in an unnecessarily drawn out fashion earlier this year. One of those items was the selection of StyleSwap covers. The battery in the OnePlus is non-removable, but the back was designed to be replaced with other finishes and materials. However, manufacturing issues have caused the company to cancel the StyleSwap covers completely after a long delay. OnePlus explains on its forums that this isn't settling—no, this is just "complicated decisions."
Motorola really happened upon a great strategy with the OG Moto X when it added core features to the Play Store. It allows Motorola to update functionality without waiting for a full OTA, and other OEMs have been following suit. It's going to be much the same with the new Moto X—four new listings have appeared in the Play Store for this device.
The Galaxy S5 on Verizon got an update barely one week ago that bumped it up to Android 4.4.4, but another is rolling out today. The new OTA with version number KTU84P.G900VVRU1ANI2 adds a few tweaks to functionality and resolves some bugs. It also gets the GS5 ready for VoLTE calls.

That's 11 years the Orcs have known that creatures called Night Elves exist. Night Elves would still be like an infant at this age I am pretty sure. |
Er. No. Cataclysm did not start five years after Arthas' death. It kind of started relatively soon after. I would say less than a month or two. |
All of that said; by the time Orcs found Kalimdor they had demonblood again, and ended up killing Cenarius who was a revered and favored God or Demi-God of the Night Elves.
The two races hate each other. Period. No if's ands or butts. Regardless of what age the Elf Was found they would a) Remember Cenarius and the demon blood and try to kill them b) be too young to know anything and in 11 years have grown very little. As in would still be too young to be raised for any significant amount of time by Orcs. If an Orc saw a Night Elf they would probably just kill it. It's what they do. They kill Elves because they want their lumber and resources. That is LITERALLY what started the war with Cenarius anyway; Orcs cutting down trees. |
If I grit my teeth harder at this panda they are going to explode like Fragmentation grenades. Yes creativity is important but so is use of pre-standing lore. Were this a case of independent development in a world where any of that made or could be made to make since those scenarios would be acceptable however this isn't a new or player-mutable world, like what your friends would come up with for a new DnD setting. This is Azeroth, a world with a long and colorful history with ample knowledge on all its races and power groups whether they are relativly new to the scene or old as the mountains themselves.
Your offers make little since in the game world. Your suggestions would be like me claiming to have been beyond the dark portal, living with the Draenei, and covertly attempting to stop the first war. That's creative right? Yes. However it is complete and total tripe! It's riddled with impossibilities. Avoid impossibilities. The scenarios you proposed would create characters that are preposterous Mary-Sues, unrealistically ( for the setting) characterized and powered. No character is unstoppable (or even capable of such actions at that young an age. Robbing an army? Seriously? A child against a faction of blood crazed barbaric monsters. Yeesh that was unreasonably harsh to the horde.) not even a single group can accomplish everything on it's own. Even the Argent Crusade (A group full of powerful champions with a leader armed to the teeth with a weapon of LEGEND and the magnanimity of Mahatma Gandhi...ok so that's an exaggeration but still.) required the assistance of the Faction Champions to have even a Fighting chance at toppling the Lich King. On an unrelated note, Aylisaes I do have to ask, is there any documentation on Physical Maturation for Kaldorei and if so were? I've never actually encountered it or if I have I don't recall. |
Yo I was quoting the unofficial time line from the Wiki. The point stands there is an 11 year gap or less for a Night Elf to have been raised by an Orc which a) wouldn't have happened or b) wouldn't make a difference since it will still be a baby anyway and could not adventure regardless. |
All of the information we have trails back to the RPG. There is no other source of information on the matter. At all. |
There is no 'official' line from the Wiki. Blizzard does not update it or control any part of it. Their own timeline is woefully inadequate. Wrath did not last three years. There was certainly no two year timeskip between Arthas dying and Cataclysm beginning. It was at the most a couple of months. This was even clarified by a Blizzard dev(In a post I've forgotten and don't have fast enough internet to look up in any reasonable amount of time) as there being: Vanilla lasted 1 year, BC lasted a year, Wrath lasted a year, Cataclysm lasted a year, and MoP begin -directly- after Cataclysm, literally within hours of Deathwing's death. |
Ah I was curious because I see people claiming to be childish or young adults at a various hundreth year and find myself thinking, that's all well and good but do we actually know how long it takes an Elven Child to mature and does the loss of their Vaunted Immortality change anything...Also where the High Elves ever long lived? I have heard very little to nothing outside of player attestment on the matter and what I have was vague at best. I'm wondering if it isn't just a Dungeons and Dragons/Tolkein based Logic leap.
I'm literally supporting your argument that a night elf would never be raised by an Orc. Why are you tearing in to me? If you have an issue go to wowwiki.com and make the changes yourself. It's an open source site. I didn't write it. I just copy and pasted it. To show that Orcs haven't been there long enough, and Night Elves don't grow fast enough for that back story to be plausible. |
There were two sources. One was the RPG. One was something else in the RPG(An age chart, I think?) that listed elven maturity as being something like 110 years.
Either way ten years is nothing.
Dath'remar Sunstrider(a High Elf and Kael'thas's father, I believe) lived several thousand years. |

Sorry back to the topic, no it wouldn't be. There's been massive turmoil within the emerald dream since the Legion marched on Hyjal. If you are returning from that you would most likely be awakening from a barrow. There some older ones in Stonetalon, Ashenvale, Moon Glade, Fel-wood... As for where you -come- from though that's all on you your life before the big nap so to speak. However on the Barrow Dens, those places would have been relativly safe if long ago you went under but if it was in the span of the last 10 years or so you'd have likely found yourself in Ashenvale near Astranaar, the sanctuary of Moon Glade, Stonetalon or possibly Teldrassil due largely in part to a majority of Southern and central Kalimdor becoming disaterously unsafe or even corrupted. |
I'm literally supporting your argument that a night elf would never be raised by an Orc. Why are you tearing in to me? If you have an issue go to wowwiki.com and make the changes yourself. It's an open source site. I didn't write it. I just copy and pasted it. http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&ved=0CDAQFjAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wowwiki.com%2FTimeline&ei=U222UKakJ4aQ9gSxsIGwDA&usg=AFQjCNEjM96m0SIrsPcbvyeUhcjzdZ8K0g&sig2=YEF47w0wN65rhH75NdxX1A http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=2&cad=rja&ved=0CDoQFjAB&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.wowwiki.com%2FTimeline_(unofficial)&ei=U222UKakJ4aQ9gSxsIGwDA&usg=AFQjCNHqbpGJaMubn8F2FTTvFRjhWmAXrg&sig2=AMkxpnCewVrDprsVP3EViQ There. I used the second link (Unofficial). Feel free to correct the information, not me. I was using what resources I had most readily available (first two links in google.) |
okay let me get this straight...a young 14 year old lvl 26 panda player that no one has ever heard of who apparently claims he is an awesome rper ( doubtful ) on moonguard (lol) who partakes in Kingdom rp's, claims he is a king and says guards from human kingdoms would let him be a guard and has come in here blatantly suggesting lore be broken, molded, bent and twisted to fit your whim?
I know you may think you are great but I have a feeling you are new-ish to rp or wow in general (At least a wrath baby probably) Blizzard sets the lore and the story, you can't go around changing or bending it to your whim. Also Gilneas has many residents. Albiet all military, no civilians, but residents none the less. Lore wise Gilneas is in Alliance control and is occupied by The Gilneas Liberation Front under Crowley, Bloodfang and his feral pack and Stormwind's 7th legion. On-topic! I want to get into role playing, and I also wanted to try out the Alliance (all of my toons are Horde right now), so I thought I would roll a night elf. I think I've got a good personality and stuff worked out, and a sort of short backstory, but I can't figure out where I should come from. You have to be 400 years old or something to be an adult, right? So what cities were there? Should I just come from some forest? female druids are new, only appearing after the 3rd war so she would never have been in the dream as all the druids (who were male at the time) were woken then. Where you were born would probably be Ashenvale or Mt.Hyjal and you will have to think of what you were prior to being a druid. A sentinel? A priestess? A common civilian? That is of course you could only have been a druid for about a decade.

Stop Take. Just stop. You did not find Anduin, he was recovered by the Horde where eventually he escaped and ventured largely on his own. This isn't good Roleplay, this is poorly written Fan-fiction that ignores the story of it's own source. Your story is soul wrenchingly bad.

Brazil resumes work on major dam after protests
Work has resumed on the massive Belo Monte Dam in Brazil's Amazon after the public consortium reached a deal with indigenous groups and fishermen who had occupied one of its building sites.

The Obama administration's quest to control the health-insurance industry has dominated the headlines for months, but finally - with the news out of Iran and Afghanistan - foreign policy has again asserted itself. It was almost easy to forget that the United States maintains a worldwide empire, but the reminders came leaping off the front pages and the television screens.
PAOLI—Perry Central cross country coach Jason Barnett wasn't exaggerating after Tuesday's PLAC meets when he said, "We had about as good a night as we could have."
The Commodores compiled perfect scores in both races as they dominated the boys and girls meets.
It was the first time their girls compiled a perfect 15 in the conference.
TELL CITY—Tell City sophomore Sarah Goffinet repeated as the individual champion but the Marksmen placed second to Heritage Hills in the PAC girls cross country meet Saturday.
The Marksmen also placed second to Heritage Hills in the boys meet despite having three of the top 11 finishers.
"We ran a great race," said Tell City Coach Chris Hollinden. "Unfortunately so did Heritage Hills and we came up just a bit short. It shows, however, how far we've come over the past six weeks since they beat us by 68 points at Boonville.
CANNELTON—Cannelton made more spikes than usual but had some serving and bumping problems in a 25-20, 25-13, 25-10 volleyball loss to South Spencer Tuesday.
Sarah Powers served seven consecutive points—one with the help of a kill by Tora Walls—to give Cannelton a 9-5 lead in the second game.
South Spencer gradually battled back to take a 12-11 lead. Cannelton then had a chance to tie the score but made a bad serve.
Cannelton fell behind 5-1 at the start of the third game and never pulled closer than three points the rest of the way.
FRENCH LICK—Springs Valley's football team has improved since last year's winless season. But the Blackhawks will still put a young squad on the field when they host Perry Central Friday at 7 p.m.
The Blackhawks beat Crawford County 18-14 Aug. 28 for their first victory since Sept. 7, 2007.
But three games later their starting quarterback got hurt in a 41-6 lost to Linton-Stockton.
Thus the 1-6 Blackhawks now "rely mostly on shorter passes, along with their running game," said Perry Central Coach Mike Spencer.
FORT BRANCH—Gibson Southern's up and down football team will host Tell City for a PAC game Friday at 7 p.m.
The Titans are only 2-5 overall and 1-4 in the PAC. But they are coming off their first conference victory, a 35-6 win over Pike Central.
And in the second week of the season they lost only 21-13 to South Spencer, which is currently ranked No. 2 in the Class 2A state coaches poll.
"They really played South Spencer tough," said Tell City offensive coordinator Art Schlichter after watching a videotape of that game.
INDIANAPOLIS—Nathan Schwartz placed sixth to lead Perry Central to second place in the 31-team, small-school boys junior high cross country meet Saturday.
South Knox won with 95 points. Perry Central was second with 120 and Hebron third with 135.
Perry Central has a 90-1 record, as it had beaten every other opponent this season.
Schwartz ran the course in 10:29.7.
Other Perry Central scorers were Aaron Pierrard, 23rd in 10:52.7; Bryce Lain, 27th in 10:56.4; Andrew Huber, 42nd in 11:16.6; and Michael Schwartz, 44th in 11:19.8.
JASPER—Tell City was unable to get many ace serves down in volleyball losses to North Posey Saturday and Jasper Tuesday.
The Marksmen had only two aces in a 25-20, 22-25, 25-18, 25-11 PAC road loss to North Posey Saturday. And no one served more than one ace for them in a 25-15, 24-26, 25-15, 25-11 loss to Jasper Tuesday.
Elizabeth Kohnert made 17 kills and six blocks against North Posey.
McKenzie Hayes added five kills and six blocks and Mackenzie Weyer made seven blocks.
Josalyn Ress had 15 assists and Hayes added 12.
LEOPOLD—Perry Central had a balanced spiking attack but lost to Forest Park 25-20, 20-25, 25-22, 25-15 in volleyball Tuesday.
Jessica Huber made 13 kills to lead Perry Central. Megan Hedinger added eight, Ashley Gengelbach seven, and Victoria Lutgring and Olivia Schroeder four apiece.
Huber, Hedinger, Lutgring and Gengelbach each made two blocks.
Aiding the hitters were Tessa Lynch with 15 assists, Jennifer Kemp with nine, and Sloan Harpenau seven.
Hilarie Hahus served four aces and Lynch and Harpenau each added two.
NEWBURGH—Anjan Kashyab won in No. 1 singles, but Boonville won the other four matches to beat Tell City 4-1 in the semifinals of the Castle boys tennis sectional Saturday.
Kashyab beat Preston Alstadt 6-2, 6-4.
Kashyab thus advanced to the individual No. 1 singles sectional at Jasper, where he was scheduled to play Tyler Ritchie of Bosse Wednesday.
The closest match Saturday was in No. 3 singles, where Boonville's Zach Green edged Chris Kohnert 7-6 (8-6), 7-5.
Brad Alstadt beat Greg Hollinden 6-0, 6-3 in No. 2 singles.

With so many companies talking about being green, sustainable and charitable, how can the public tell the difference between a good company and just good marketing? Bart Houlahan describes B Labs' certification of B Corporations—where B stands for the benefit created for all stakeholders—and how these companies address social and environmental issues with the power of capitalism. Encouraging designers to be "the change we all seek," Houlahan challenges the audience to think about how they can bring sustainability to their own businesses.
Bart Houlahan is the co-founder of B Lab, helping to create a better world through business by setting a new corporate standard for social and environmental performance. B Corporations are purpose-driven and create benefits for all stakeholders, not just shareholders. Previously, he was CFO, COO and president of AND 1, a basketball footwear, apparel and entertainment company. As the principal operator of the business, Houlahan joined AND 1 in its second year, when revenues totaled just $4M. Over the course of the next 11 years, he helped to finance, operate and scale the business to $250M in brand revenues with distribution in 85 countries worldwide. AND 1 undertook a leveraged recapitalization in 1999 with TA Associates, and eventually was sold in May 2005, to American Sporting Goods. Before AND 1, Houlahan was an investment banker with Stonebridge Associates, BNY Associates and Prudential-Bache Securities, specifically focused on providing corporate finance and merger and acquisition services to small-cap businesses ranging in size from $20M to $500M. Houlahan grew up in Chicago, is a graduate of Stanford University, and now resides in Devon, Pennsylvania, with his wife and two daughters.
When designing for theater, says Gail Anderson, you never know if the play will be hit and your work will be seen for a long time, or if the show will get panned and close after a week. Using SpotCo's work on 9 to 5 as an example, she illustrates how campaigns must work as well in print and on the sides of buses as on billboards and marquees. She also shares why "being lovely" makes her a good collaborator.

Luis Fitch points out that nearly 50 percent of the United States population is Hispanic, but there is incredible diversity among Spanish-speakers and varying degrees of acculturation. UNO's FiltrosTM system is a tool for businesses to understand their market via a set of filters that describe how these audiences see the world. Fitch gives specific examples from his firm's branding work, and warns that if executives continue to ignore the unaccultured audience, their companies will be missing out on decades worth of brand impressions and loyalty.
Chris Bower talks about the importance of design at Saturn. To stand out from imitators and reinvent the car retail experience again, Saturn turned to Udaya Patnaik and Jump Associates. Patnaik discusses how his firm deconstructed successful retail experiences in other markets and for other products to make car buying friendly and transparent.

This dressing is so easy to make and the ingredients you're likely to already have on hand, so a special trip to the grocery store is not required. Will make this again.
JennyBop 11 Jan, 2008
I love this dressing. Instead I used apple cider vinegar, Italian seasonings and German mustard.

Leeds' latest signing Nicky Ajose said it was a dream come true after sealing his move to the West Yorkshire club.
The 22-year-old striker signed a three-year contract on Tuesday after Leeds had agreed an undisclosed fee with Peterborough.
"It's fantastic," Ajose told the club's official website after becoming the club's seventh summer signing.
"It's been in the offing for a few days now and I'm delighted that it is done and I can't wait to get started.
"The process has been really fast. I heard about the interest on Sunday morning and a deal was agreed with Peterborough and I signed on Tuesday so it was that quick.
"I'm from up north so I know that Leeds is a massive club in England and has so much history.
"To say that I've played for Leeds United is a dream really."
Ajose progressed through Manchester United's academy before joining Peterborough in July 2011 and has since had loan spells at Bury, Scunthorpe, Chesterfield, Crawley, Bury and, last season, Swindon.

Balaraju lauds youth and others for their noble gesture
Nearly 2,000 students including general public participated in the massive blood donation programme organised by Andhra University NSS and NCC, CMR Shopping Mall and Symbiosys Technologies on the Shopping Mall premises, AU Engineering College, Government Junior College, Pendurthy and Vignan College, Duvvada in connection with the 'National Girl Child Day' on Thursday.
At the CMR Shopping Mall, Maddilapelm, general public including customers evinced interest in the noble programme and came forward to donate blood. The camp which was inaugurated in the morning by Minister for Tribal Welfare P.Balaraju continued until late evening. The programme drew very good response from students and from people from different walks of life.
Addressing the gathering, the Minister lauded the organisers for undertaking a noble task. Several unfortunate people who are victims in road accidents were succumbing to injuries due to non-availability of blood. Blood is the life line in times of emergencies. He described the organising of blood donation camp as a heartening initiative and hoped that a large number of students and youth would help in creating a blood bank.
At the Andhra University engineering college blood donation camp, Commissioner of Police B. Shivadhar Reddy complimented the students for coming forward in large numbers to donate blood. About 300 students attended the blood donation camp and donated 150 units. At CMR, 300 units of blood was donated and at Government Junior College in Pendurthi and Vignan College in Duvvada another 500 units of blood was donated.
In all about 2,000 students attended the blood donation camps and donated 1,018 units of blood. A.S.Raja Blood Bank, Rotary and Lions Blood Banks and the Red Cross Society participated in the blood donation camp. Organising Committee members Dr. Yugandhar, Dr.Immanuel Raju and Rajiv Tagore coordinated the programme. and made elaborate arrangements.

Don't let us down, Mr. President
Linda Heard, an Arab News journalist, comments on the eagerly awaited inauguration of Barack Obama, the 44th US President, and the first African-American to rule the United States.
January 20, 2009 3:08 by Linda Heard
If there is a sense of knife-edged anticipation here as to the final shaping of Obama's Middle East policy, it is no less in Israel. It's no accident that the Israeli government picked a pre-Obama window of opportunity to launch its onslaught on Gaza and now seeks any face-saving pretext to scurry out before Obama's daughters get their promised puppy.
We will not have to wait long to discover whether an Obama administration can be an honest broker in the Israel-Palestine conflict. Within the coming days, America's new commander-in-chief will be obligated to speak out on Gaza, which he has so far refrained from doing citing "there is only one president at a time".
Will he stick to the Bush line, which is basically Israel has the right to do anything? Or will he echo what just about every other world leader is saying, including his ally Britain's Gordon Brown, who says Israel has used excessive force during an offensive that has cost too many lives? Let's keep an open mind. Let's reserve judgment. And in the meantime, let's congratulate the American people on their pick and wish Obama well in his new job. Good luck, Mr. President! You're going to need every ounce of it you can get. Please don't let us down!

Reasonably well written Linda. I cant agree with you more when you say let us congratulate the Americans for a good choice. Yes indeed, after such a woeful and miserable second term they gave to Mr Bush.
This world cant be won by any means but love. Obama has shown willingness to tread that route. Now, as he shifts back to Bible, I hope the main character of the Bible, Jesus Christ, inspires Obama to spread love, peace, happiness and friendly attitude around the world. Let us hope that he wins the hearts of the global citizen and stops the bossy attitude of an American. Let us also hope that he spends no time for violence and war and spreads amity among nations. If this is achieved, all else will fall in place.
At the same time, it is not fair for us to hope and need Obama to turnaround a down-in-the-dumps economy so swiftly. He will ultimately succeed no doubt because he has nothing to lose. What he has inherited is a ZERO, if not a BIG NEGATIVE from Bush. I know for sure that Obama cant take it anywhere backwards. Next 4 years will rebuild the world. May Christ help Obama on this path. So,
onward march, get set, GO.
