WILMINGTON -- There is plenty of history and school pride on campus. Since its early days as Wilmington College, UNCW was preparing for its future.
Tyrone Rowell is the assistant to the chancellor for special projects. He said, "This was the whole campus. There was one parking lot. The early trustees told me they took some criticism for buying all this land, they said you just have three buildings and a parking lot, why do you need this much land and they were looking ahead to the future."
Rowell has worked at UNCW for 35 years and knows pretty much everything about the school. He took me on one of his famous campus tours.
Rowell said, "Hoggard Hall is named for Dr. John T. Hoggard who was president of the school board."
"James Hall named after Hinton James, who was a New Hanover County native who was the first student to enroll at the University of North Carolina."
Along with academic buildings, Rowell gave the history of everything from athletic fields to the decades-old live oak trees that stand in what used to be the center of campus.
In 1961 Wilmington College moved from downtown, near New Hanover High School, to its College Road location. It became a part of the UNC system in 1969. Rowell shares his passion and pride for UNCW with the school's 12,000 students.
UNCW student Zachariah Greaves said, "Everyone's real nice. [I'm] making a lot of good friends. Classes are great, teachers are terrific, they're nice and they help you out with everything. It's just a great school."
UNCW student Kiah McCoy said, "I'm not homesick yet. I love it here and I'm really glad I chose to come to UNCW, because of the people and the professors and the new friends that I meet. It's just a really nice place to be, it's really welcoming."
As UNCW continues to grow it will be welcoming students for years to come.
UNCW employs 1,200 people and generates $500 million each year.

TMY is admittedly a difficult film to work with. I prefer to use Ilford Delta 400 film for this reason. My best advice is to use a highly dilute, non-phenidone developer to help with the highlight problems.

Sometime in the naive years before puberty, I told my mom that it wasn't fair how I had to wear a shirt when my dad and brothers didn't. She absolutely did not see how "fairness" had anything to do with it and promptly administered a firm and enduring lecture on the definition of "appropriate" and on being a "respectable young lady."
How long has the world been so uptight about a simple thing like nudity? People just go gaga over naked flesh. Like, everybody remembers the Janet Jackson Super Bowl half-time nip-slip (where were you when the wardrobe malfunctioned?) and how America went apeshit. Right?
But there's a fine line between women being exploited for their bodies and people embracing the loveliness of human anatomy. As loveliness goes, burlesque is a fine way to appreciate it, especially as an artistic expression that is also unbearably fucking hot. To witness artful burlesque in action, I caught the Boudoir Beauties, a longstanding West Palm Beach-based collective of art/stripteasers ("It's all about tease, not about sleaze," is one of their mottos), at Kevro's Art Bar on a Thursday evening. Skirt-dropping ensued!
Ambience: Kevro's (166 SE Second Ave., Delray Beach) has huge abstract paintings, eye-catching amalgamations of earthy greens and blacks and fiery oranges and reds, decorating the visible walls. The narrow room is headed by a small stage, with the bar stretching vertically across one wall and colorful furniture positioned against the other. "Can I see your ID, sweetheart?" asked a grandmotherly woman who wore her silvery hair pulled back neatly. Taken aback by the most sugary-sweet bouncer I've ever met, I flashed my I.D. but wondered how the hell she was going to forcibly remove anybody who wasn't 21. I grabbed a seat at the bar between two older gentlemen in dress shirts and glanced around. Soft blue light and hanging white sheets gave the vacant stage a seductive, ethereal quality, and the 20 or so chairs facing it were beginning to fill. Crowds of men in slacks and women in heels gathered on the limited indoor floor space or spilled out into the night to listen to a band playing on the patio.
The Show: Reality TV's Calvin Cyrus, a big, bespectacled comedian, came out on stage sometime after 9 p.m. and announced that the theme of the performance was "Hell Date" — each girl's routine was a sexy story set to music and somehow relating to romance gone awry. Cyrus acted as the host, filling all gaps between performers with one-liners, improv, and audience interaction — namely, trying to get them to buy raffle tickets ($1 could win you something from the undergarments grab bag) or reveal their own personal worst dates (no one volunteered). One of the first performances featured the red-haired Crimson Boudoir, who started by unstuffing her bra to a doo-wop song — much to the glee of the elderly women seated around me — and ended in her underwear and a surgical mask, injecting poison into cupcakes she'd baked for her lover.
From then on, girls unsheathed their bodies in a blur of sparkly eye shadow, vampish red lipstick, and fabric falling limply to the floor. They pulled off stockings, peeled off skirts, unlaced corsets, and kicked away shoes, methodically and sensually working their way down to panties. Leggs Monroe, a slender blond wearing dark smudgy eye shadow, ended her first routine by revealing her perky breasts — the nipples covered by two star-shaped pasties. As she bounced offstage amid wild applause, someone called out, "I give it two stars!"
Francean Fanny, a shapely platinum blond with ivory-white skin and blood-red lipstick, simulated cooking for one of her routines — she peeled off stockings and gloves and dropped them into a big metal cooking pot until she was down to a strawberry-red corset and matching panties. For the finish, she artfully removed her corset while blocking the audience's view of her tits with a cookbook, and then she dropped the corset into the pot and danced jauntily offstage. Other acts involved top hats, toy guns, Silly String, glow sticks, voodoo dolls, and shiny gold hot pants.
Apparently, not only is burlesque the art of cock-teasing; it's also the art of employing a bunch of random-ass props, retaining the class of 1940's starlet glam, dancing to good music, and being ridiculously fucking sexy. How is that it hasn't gone completely mainstream?
Best Act: In my opinion, Crimson Boudoir best captured the true mood of the moment after a "Hell Date" in one of the final acts. She wore a dress reminiscent of a 1950's pink prom frock, wobbled around the stage to Daft Punk's "One More Time," and popped pills while swigging from a martini glass, ending up a tangle of flesh and fabric on the floor of the stage. Isn't that truly the only way to deal with being an aging single woman with a ticking biological clock (and on prom night) with no Mr. Right in sight?
Drinks: Strangely, Kevro's Art Bar has a two-drink limit, which the owner of the bar (Kevin, or "Kevro") said was a "strong suggestion, though not enforced." The bar served "Kevrotinis" and a large selection of wine and beer. Though the atmosphere seemed to suggest that wine might be an appropriate beverage choice, I decided to screw sophistication and just have a $2 Coke. Kevin's wife, Deb — a blond, lively woman — and their friend Eric, a big, friendly guy who called everyone "young man" or "young lady," worked quickly behind the bar.

my wierd friends say hi. there names are natile and megan. they want you to stalk them so say hi!
Hi weird friends (you know you spelled weird wrong, right?) Natile & Megan!
Depending on where you live will depend on if I stalk you XD. But ferrets said you're weird so we'd probably be chill friends :D
Through the mists of my thoughts I remember memories not mine...
-Someone Special
It's because practically every child (around 4th grade) was taught a very defective spelling convention: "i" before "e" except after "c". I think this is now abandoned as there are just too many exceptions...
except after c or when sounded like "ay" as in "neighbor" and "weigh" or on weekends or holidays or all throughout May and you'll ALWAYS be wrong no matter what you say!
...I forget where I heard that one, but it's quite true. :-)
~~~ the voice of your eyes is deeper than all roses ~ e e cummings ~~~
This expansion of the original "rule" was added early last century, but it's the first part that is typically remembered. It's noteworthy that UK schools recommended (this year) that the "rule" no longer be taught.
I'm ignorant of its current position in U.S. schools.

Reviews for Ultimate Chocolate Cake
Sort By :
"This is now our favorite cake. Very moist and very easy to make."
"This cake has become my families favorite. Moist and chocolatey, easy and quick to prepare. I use five whole eggs instead. After cooling, I sprinkle it lightly with powdered sugar to make it eye appealing as well as taste appealing."
"Sorry to be a spoilsport but this cake was very disappointing. I was looking for an enhanced boxcake recipe that was fit for company, I was extreemly disappointed and embarassed. It was dry and slightly chocolately....made as written. If I realized it was a healthy diet cake I would've gone with butter or oil instead of applesauce and added lots more chocolate. If you are watching your fat and sugar and don't care for a dry cake this is it!!!"
"Very moist. I took it to work and it was all gone by noon."
"Simply the best chocolate cake we've ever had, including expensive cakes from the best bakery in town! I didn't use sugar-free anything, and I did use 4 eggs (instead of 2 plus the egg substitute). I drizzled a chocolate glaze on top and served it with black raspberry/chocolate chunk ice cream. Nirvana!!!"

1 C&C 4... Dont waste your money!Webbysan | 18/03/2010 | See all Webbysan's reviews (10)I've just one thing to say... What a rubbish game! I had to rate it 1 Star, as there is nothing lower to select.For all you fans out there of the C&C series, save your money. This has to be one of the worst RTS games ive ever played. They have completely done away with any form of classic C&C play.* All you do now is spam unit build.* Game play is 'Zerg or be Zerg'd'.* Units look like they should be in a cartoon.* Plot is rubbish.* There is NO stratergy to the game.You know what, i could go on, but whats the point, im just so disappointed with this game that i just cant be bothered anymore. If you do decide to buy this game, on your head be it, you were warned.
1 DisappointedPinafal | 22/03/2010 | See all Pinafal's reviews (1)I don't really know where to start with this, but i bought it the day after it came out. The first annoying feature is constantly being online to play the game, which could be a problem in university if the firewall blocks the connection and could stop you playing the game full stop. By doing this i think it's really just going to make people want to download the game instead of paying for it but there we go.I've always been a fan of C&C since the beginning, but the moment i realised that you no longer base build as with the previous series it's no longer been the same. the graphics have just been used from Red Alert 3, so nothing that's going to impress when it's all just turned into cartoon style animation.The game has lost all need for thought, with no planning what so ever! The game makes you think that some units are better at killing others, when it isn't true and tanks can easily take out infantry. Creating units over and over is the only way to win the game and makes it so dull you easily lose interest.With the storyline i've completed the Nod campaign so far, and it didn't even answer anything for the end of a saga! it's as if Kane's Wrath didn't even happen which would have made the storyline much more interesting if they carried on with that storyAll in all a game which is really not worth it, if you fancy a change then that's it, but don't expect great things from a rushed game.
1 a big big let down.jezzzz | 15/05/2010 | See all jezzzz's reviews (1)if you liked C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath you won't like this. First of all you cannot play the game if you are not connected to the internet and then you have to sign in - very annoying. Secondly there's no base building and no harvesting which means no managing of your economy and no trying to expand to new tiberium field and trying to hold on to them. So that's most of the fun gone straight away. All you do is capture nodes simply by being near them! The computer voice says "you've lost node 2" - you've also lost interest. Also the graphics seem flat and two dimensional unlike C&C 3 and Kane's Wrath. I bought it, I won't play it. I'm disappointed.
1 NOT Command and ConquerRyster092 | 26/03/2010 | See all Ryster092's reviews (4)This game is Command and Conquer by name only and should be AVOIDED like the plague by anybody looking to buy a typical Command and Conquer game. EA took a mish-mash of styles from other games, bundled them all into this game (poorly) and slapped the Command and Conquer badge on it. In the process losing the entire formula that makes a typical C&C game.* Want base building? - You're not finding it here!* Want resource harvesting? - Again, no such luck.* Want to be treated like a loyal customer rather than a potential pirate? - Nope, flat out of luck. The game requires that you log into EA's servers before it lets you even play single player.EA have basically used and abused the C&C brand to try and push their attempt at something new. The end result, a failure of a game that lets down the C&C fans, and isn't strong enough to stand on it's own right. Very disappointing for the final game in the franchise.
1 Beyond badimperial | 21/03/2010 | See all imperial's reviews (5)The worst C&C game released almost as bad as red alert 3, the constant internet conection is one of the worst features making it crash the game is nothing like the C&C games of the past words canot describe how bad this game is NO STAR RATING. this game is offends the brand of C&C

Pyracantha is the scientific name for firethorn plants, which are hardy from United States Department of Agriculture zones 6 to 9. Firethorn is an evergreen plant that is easy to grow and provides seasonal interest and berries. Even the most novice gardener can handle the simple care of firethorn bush.
About Firethorn Plants
Firethorn is a tall shrub or small tree at 6 to 16 feet tall and almost as wide. There is a variety of conditions suitable for planting firethorn. This versatile and colorful shrub may be used as an espaliered specimen, in containers, as a hedge or just as a bright season-long addition to a border or bed.
Enjoy the shiny leaves year around with small white flowers appearing in early summer. These develop into red or orange berries that persist well into winter.
Growing Firethorn Shrubs
Pick either a sunny, shady or a partially sunny location for growing firethorn shrubs. They also thrive in either dry or moist soils, although damper areas produce bigger plants. Therefore, you may want to choose a fertile, moist location when planting firethorn.
Consider the location of your shrub carefully. The plant's spectacular looks are paired with prickly leaves that snag and scrape. Plant the shrub away from doorways, gates and entryways.
Dig the hole twice as large as the root ball when planting firethorn and provide consistent water while establishing. Install firethorn in fall for the healthiest plant and best results.
Firethorn Care
Care of firethorn bushes is low-maintenance and they are prone to few pests and disease problems. Firethorn can even tolerate short periods of freezing and drought conditions once established with mulch around the root zone.
The plant may get fire blight disease if it sits in an overly moist area. Plants that get too much nitrogen and grow excess leafy tips will not form dense clusters of fruits. You can choose a number of varieties of the plant resistant to disease and problems. Check to see which ones are most suited for your zone when growing firethorn shrubs.
Firethorn care is almost foolproof as long as you follow a few important tips. Firethorn plants grow quickly and benefit from occasional pruning. You can trim them at any time of the year as long as you take no more than 1/3 of the growth. To ensure fruits, prune in early spring before the flowers form.
Varieties of Firethorn
A low, spreading variety perfect for borders is Lowboy. One of the fastest and tallest cultivars is Mohave, with Teton a close second. Both Apache and Fiery Cascade are resistant to many different diseases.
One primary concern when choosing a firethorn plant is berry color. Teton gets bright vibrant golden berries. Red forms include Tiny Tim and Apache. The rich sunny red-gold berries of Mohave cannot compete with the startling orange fruits on Gnome, Lowboy and Fiery Cascade.
Whichever variety you choose, be assured that the birds will flock to your garden. The clusters are also excellent in wreaths and as part of everlasting bouquets. This easy to care for plant is a gem for the landscape and will reward you with a variety of uses.

Norfolk County council election 2013. The north Norfolk count at Cromer Academy. UKIP's David Ramsbotham is congratulated by Conservative's Russell Wright. PHOTO: ANTONY KELLY
Alex Hurrell, Reporter
Saturday, May 4, 2013
Elated UKIP members toasted their two North Norfolk seats with champagne, served in pink plastic glasses, at the count in Cromer Academy's sports hall yesterday.
For businessman Michael Baker, who wrested the Holt seat for UKIP from the Conservatives, it was another step towards his goal of getting to Westminster by beating North Norfolk's Lib Dem MP Norman Lamb in the 2015 general election.
Mr Baker, who is also a member of North Norfolk District Council, knocked his Conservative rival, the party's one-time North Norfolk parliamentary agent Helen Eales. into second place.
Holt had been a key target for UKIP whose leader, Nigel Farage, visited the town to back Mr Baker during the campaign.
But the party's success in Melton Constable had not been predicted. David Ramsbotham, a prominent anti-wind turbine campaigner, ousted Conservative Russell Wright from the seat and said afterwards that it was a historic day for UKIP which could change the face of British politics.
Mr Baker said while some UKIP votes were a protest against the coalition government, the majority had been in support of the party's policies.
And he pledged that he and fellow UKIP county councillors would listen to the wishes of Norfolk people.
Stuart Agnew, UKIP MEP for the East, who was at the North Norfolk count, was delighted at the "bonus" of Melton Constable on top of the party's anticipated Holt triumph. He added: "This will be a springboard to Westminster."
Conservative party spokesman Rhodri Oliver said he was not downhearted at the loss of two seats to UKIP. The North Norfolk party emerged with four county councillors.
And, despite being unsuccessful in his own bid to win Sheringham from Lib Dem Brian Hannah, Mr Oliver, who would also like to be an MP one day, said he was pleased at finishing second.
He said: "Nationally we are at that mid-term point where people are prepared to vote for other parties but I think they will come back and vote Conservative in 2015."
Conservative Wyndham Northam, a one-time county council chairman, managed to take Mundesley from the Lib Dems whose 2009 winner, Graham Jones, had resigned from the party and was standing as an independent.
County council cabinet member Nigel Dixon beat off a UKIP challenge from Michael Baker's son Duncan to retain his Hoveton and Stalham seat. And Conservative Tom Fitzpatrick, leader of North Norfolk District Council, will now add county council duties to his workload after winning Fakenham. In 2009 the seat was won by David Callaby for the Lib Dems. He later became a Conservative but did not seek re-election. Hilary Cox retained Cromer for the Conservatives.
Former EDP reporter Ed Foss held on to North Walsham East for the Lib Dems, one of five North Norfolk seats won by the party.
Mr Foss paid tribute to the high reputation of his predecessor Paul Morse, who has stepped down after eight years, for helping him to victory.
Fellow Lib Dem Marie Strong, who has kept her Wells seat, is expected to become the party's group leader on the county council and said she would be putting looked-after children and mature residents at the top of her agenda.
The Lib Dems were also relieved that David Thomas held on to South Smallburgh for them. Paul Rice had won it for the party in 2009 but he later switched allegiance and was standing as a Conservative.
Despite a hard-fought campaign, Labour failed to win any North Norfolk seats. Their best hope was in North Walsham West and Erpingham where the party's David Spencer lost to Lib Dem John Timewell by 39 votes after a recount.
A disappointed Mr Spencer, who is self-employed, said afterwards that it had been a "David and Goliath" struggle as he had lost money when out campaigning while the Lib Dems had been backed by MP Norman Lamb and his resources.
But he added: "I think we can win next time. We've exploded the myth put out by Norman Lamb that a vote for Labour here is wasted."
The Green Party, which fielded candidates for all the seats, fared best in Holt where Martin Langsdon gained 204 votes but still finished at the bottom of the poll.
Three independents stood in two seats but failed to rock any boats.

Nuclear power and coal fired power stations are only a "preference" in the absence of any realistic shortmedium term alternative. Sad but unfortunately true.

One would have thought that UKIP winning faces of trepidation, leaving yesterdays counts as winners, the saviours of British pubs, according to the BBC, would have celebrated with a great pint of real Norfolk ale, rather then ape Labours champagne socialists, but now that the election is over, reality will kick in.

Callum, whilst I don't like UKIP's stance on renewable energy and their preference for nuclear power I do understand why people have voted for them. The mainstream political parties lack of accountability to the electorate and the very real concerns about Europe, immigration and the ECHR have all played a part in the success that UKIP is now enjoying. Unfortunately, it would appear that the Conservatives, Labour and the Liberal Democrats have not taken these issues seriously or done anything to convince a sizeable amount of the population that they are listening. In these circumstances UKIP at least appears to addressing some of the Taboo subjects that the others are either unable or unwilling to address?

David Ramsbothams success in Melton Constale was hardly unexpected, unfortunately.....

Callum,the reality of politics at a local level is that the candidates and those voted into power will always follow the party line even if this isn't what they may personally want to do. This is why politicians say one thing prior to an election and do something quite different afterwards. It is something that has contributed to the electorate becoming apathetic and disillusioned in politics in general and is reflected in the low turnouts at local and general elections. UKIP has garnered support because the other parties have not addressed the things which matter to the average voter and God knows they have had long enough to do so! Whilst on a personal level I believe that you would have been a good councillor for the Melton Constable Ward it is Labour's lack of credibility as a political party that has been the issue and not you personally! UKIP may or may not be a genuine force to be reckoned with in British politics within the next few years but they are speaking aloud and clearly about what matters to people. It is something which seems to me to have been absent in British politics for a long time now!

Douglas, I can understand why people have voted for UKIP, the unfortunate thing is that they campaigned solely on national issues. NCC has no say on immigration, or our position in the EU. Whilst you may be correct that UKIP are talking about things other parties are avoiding, UKIP are also doing well at avoiding talking about any plans for what they want to do for our county council.
Saturday, May 4, 2013
Whilst many of those elected never did talk about local issues, indeed never talked to any voters whatsoever in the case of Cllr. Gillick, they will now make decisions according to what they are being told by their parties, but that's too much to grasp for voters in one weekend.

A DeKalb County grand jury has re-indicted a former Northern Illinois University police officer for rape less than three months after prosecutors dropped an identical charge against him and just days after the school fired its police chief for allegedly mishandling the case.
Andrew Rifkin, 25, was charged Friday with felony criminal sexual assault in connection with an October 2011 incident involving an NIU freshman. The indictment adds another chapter to a legal drama that so far has included accusations of hidden evidence, upheaval in the campus Police Department and the abrupt dismissal of the original case by a lame-duck prosecutor.
Former DeKalb State's Attorney Clay Campbell dropped charges against Rifkin in November after accusing NIU police of intentionally withholding statements that could have helped the defendant. The Tribune reported last month that Campbell dismissed the case without publicly revealing that Rifkin had signed a statement acknowledging that he continued to have sex with the student after she told him to stop.
Campbell also appears to have dismissed the case without notifying the alleged victim. The student learned that the original charges had been dropped through media reports, current State's Attorney Richard Schmack said in a statement.
Schmack took office in December and decided to resurrect the case, bringing it to a grand jury Friday. The original charges were dismissed in a manner that allowed them to be refiled.
The woman, who is still enrolled at the school, has been cooperating with prosecutors.
"These charges have been reinstated following full consultation with her, and with her complete support," Schmack said in a statement.
Campbell couldn't be reached for comment.
Rifkin's attorney, Bruce Brandwein, said the former officer will turn himself in to the DeKalb County sheriff's office as soon as the arrest warrant is processed.
"My client is devastated," Brandwein said. "He's hurt by this, but we're going to defend him with everything we've got."
The NIU Police Department didn't know the case went before a grand jury Friday, and was caught off guard by the re-indictment, said Bill Nicklas, acting director of public safety. No campus officers testified before the panel.
"We just learned that information, and we, of course, will cooperate with the state's attorney as they proceed in the prosecution of the case," Nicklas said.
Rifkin faces up to 15 years in prison if convicted. He is suing former NIU police Chief Donald Grady and the university for allegedly mishandling the case.
A graduate of NIU, Rifkin was a new campus police officer in fall 2011 when he was assigned to a dormitory and developed a relationship with the then-freshman. On Oct. 28, 2011, that student told NIU police that Rifkin had sexually assaulted her two weeks earlier.
According to a typed statement Rifkin signed Oct. 31, 2011, he picked up the student outside a fraternity house Oct. 14 and drove her to his home in a nearby town. The statement indicates they had consensual intercourse, and he then tried to initiate anal sex.
In the statement, Rifkin says the student stated, "Stop, stop it hurts." The statement then says the student "stated words similar to this approximately 4-5 times."
He said he continued for less than a minute after she asked him to stop, the statement reads. It later says: "I sincerely apologize to (her) for my actions that night."
The statement, examined by the Tribune, was initialed twice by Rifkin and signed by him.
He was fired from his job and charged in November 2011 with felony sexual assault.
Rifkin's attorney acknowledges that his client signed the statement, but he said the statement is inconsistent with the information Rifkin provided during a portion of the interrogation captured on an audio recording. In the recording, the officer doesn't admit wrongdoing or suggest he ignored the student's request to stop, Brandwein said.
After the recorder was turned off, Rifkin continued to speak to an investigator, while another detective typed up a statement, Brandwein said. Rifkin read the statement on the detective's computer, but he didn't review it again before he signed it, Brandwein said.
Rifkin has since told his attorney that the statement he signed is dramatically different from the version he originally was shown, Brandwein said.
Soon after Rifkin's arrest, two women who knew the officer and the student gave statements to police indicating that the sex had been consensual. Those reports weren't turned over to attorneys, in violation of one of the legal system's most sacred rules. The missing evidence was discovered by a private investigator hired by the defense.
The judge in the case, Robbin Stuckert, called the omission an "egregious" error and ruled that the department purposely withheld the reports. At the time, the Police Department insisted that it was an honest mistake and that the statements were inadvertently placed in Rifkin's personnel file.
On Tuesday, the university fired Grady, its longtime police chief, for "serious misconduct" stemming from the case. The officer who failed to turn over the statements, Lt. Kartik Ramakrishnan, remains on paid leave.
In a scathing, five-page termination letter to Grady, Nicklas stated that the chief likely "ordered, encouraged and/or condoned" the withholding of evidence that could have helped clear Rifkin. He also suggested that the campus department shouldn't have investigated the incident, which occurred off campus, because it posed a conflict of interest.
Rifkin's attorney suggested that the letter could hurt the prosecutor's case against his client.
"After reading that letter, I'm shocked they would pursue charges," Brandwein said. "It's just hard to believe they're doing this."
The defense also could be helped by an impassioned courtroom soliloquy Campbell gave when he dropped the original charges, saying the Rifkin investigation had a "complete lack of integrity."
Grady's lawyer sees it differently. He says the re-indictment vindicates the chief, who plans to appeal his termination, and shows that the withheld statements shouldn't have derailed the original case or Grady's employment.
"This should give the people who rushed to judgment against Chief Grady serious second thoughts about what they have wrought," attorney Michael Fox said. "The whole effort by NIU to throw its own Police Department under the bus should be re-examined."
Nicklas said Grady's termination stands.
"Today's action by the state's attorney has no impact on the dismissal of Don Grady. Don Grady was dismissed because he was in breach of his contract," he said. "He failed to adequately supervise the action of a commander on his staff, which had a material effect on the outcome of the first trial."

The racing team will be staying on Mount Washington, and all skiing will be done from the base of The Hawk chair lift. This is where the grooming will take place.
You can come up for a ski from the bottom of The Hawk chair lift on:
Friday, May 7 — late afternoon
Saturday, May 8 — morning or afternoon and stay for the team BBQ
Sunday, May 9 — morning or afternoon
Monday, May 10 — early morning only
There will be a drop in fee of $10 to help cover the grooming costs. Skiers must be members of the SNSC.
Call Coach Dave Battison for more details 250-202-0578.
Once again, our Junior Racing Team and friends took first place in the Junior Teams division of the Snow-to-Surf race.
Way to go team!
Skiing in the Schools
Last week, Rick Morson of CIBC Wood Gundy presented a cheque for $3,626 to Rob Grantham of SNSC for our Learn to Ski program. Mr Hartig's grade 5/6 class at Ecole Puntledge Park Elementary are keen participants in the program.
SNSC's Learn to Ski program took 776 elementary students cross-country skiing this past winter along with 80 adults accompanying the students. The program is sponsored by CIBC Wood Gundy and Mount Washington Resort. Many thanks to CIBC Wood Gundy for helping us continue to spread the love for cross-country skiing!
The skiing is still fine on Mount Washington!
Still loads of snow as of April 11, 2010!
Nordic operations on Mount Washington have officially closed for the season. However, the good folks at the Raven Lodge left us power for the wax benches at the back. If you are out there training for the Snow to Surf or just enjoying the beautiful conditions, remember to ski with caution and bring a buddy.
28th Annual Vancouver Island Loppet
Despite stormy weather, 129 skiers left the stadium in the Loppet mass start. The skiers came from all over Vancouver Island, across British Columbia, and Alberta. The fastest time overall for the full 30 km Loppet was skied by Olav Stana of Vernon. The fastest time overall for the half Loppet, 15 km, was skied by Sheridan Meckert of Comox. Conrad Murdoch of Whister had the fastest time for the children's 5 km Loppet, followed closely by his brother Michael Murdoch. See the table below to find medal results by category. Go to Zone 4 for a complete list of results.

CNOR Strong and Growing Stronger |
915 Highland Boulevard Bozeman, MT 59715 (406) 585-5000 |
November 30, 2012 Operating room nurses can make all the difference to a patient undergoing surgery, so Bozeman Deaconess Health Services is pleased to announce it has earned the CNOR® Strong designation from the Competency & Credentialing Institute (CCI). The CNOR Strong designation is given to facilities in which at least 50% of its OR nursing staff are CNOR certified. This is the first year CCI has awarded this elite status to facilities nationwide. CNORs demonstrate a commitment to provide evidence-based patient- and family-centered care during the surgical experience, said Director of Surgical Services Shelly Satterthwait RN, MHSA, CNOR. Added Surgical Services Educator Rachel Pruitt, RN, BSN, CNOR, CRNFA, At Bozeman Deaconess, the operating room nursing team has made this commitment to be strong patient advocates ensuring patient safety. CNOR is a definition, not an acronym. CNOR® certification is defined as: "the documented validation of the professional achievement of identified standards of practice by an individual registered nurse providing care for patients before, during and after surgery." It is an objective, measurable way of acknowledging the achievement of specialty knowledge beyond basic nursing preparation and RN licensure. Patient safety and positive surgical outcomes are of the utmost importance to a facility, and supporting nurses as they exceed expectations to achieve their perioperative nursing certification shows Bozeman Deaconess commitment to its core values, said CCI Board President Pamela D. Gorgone, MS, RN, CNOR, CPN. What you do for your patients is outstanding. CCI is truly honored to work with elite nurses in such fine facilities.

Taking a break from drawing I guess :/ Not sure if I can resist myself though
I don't know...I just feel that my art isn't good enough. The people on wolfhome forums makes it quite clear-they don't have to say it.
I'll still draw a bit, practice but nothing official really...just learning more from tutorials and anatomy...hopefully my art would improve.
I don't know when I'll start drawing again officially...guess when my art is up to satisfaction?

My NBA idea
huh, i wonder when they will decide on a name for the oklahoma city nba team.
i still and always will think that the nba should move the clippers to san diego, move a franchise to buffalo and tampa. i also think that the nba should have a 32-team system with a N/S/E/W system just like the nfl and have 4 teams in each division. ECN 1 Detroit 2 Buffalo 3 Chicago 4 Toronto ECE 1 Philadelphia 2 New Jersey/Brooklyn 3 Boston 4 New York Knicks ECS 1 Orlando 2 Tampa Bay 3 Miami 4 Atlanta ECW 1 Indiana 2 Cleveland 3 Milwaukee 4 Charlotte WCN 1 Portland 2 Seattle (Revived) 3 Denver 4 Utah WCS 1 San Antonio 2 New Orleans 3 Houston 4 Dallas WCE 1 Memphis 2 Kansas City 3 Minnesota 4 Oklahoma City WCW 1 Los Angeles 2 San Deigo 3 Golden State 4 Sacramento Have each team play intra-divisional teams 4 times each, play opposite conference teams twice (home and home), and inter-divisional games 2 or 3 times a year. Eg. San Diego Clippers 4 Games against Los Angeles Lakers 4 Games against Sacramento Kings 4 Games against Golden State Warriors (2 home, 2 away each) 32 games vs. Eastern Conference alternated 2 or 3 games vs. WCN, WCS, and WCE |
Re: My NBA idea
The Clippers already were in San Diego (1978-84) and they moved to LA because they sucked and nobody in SD cared about them, which showed in the pitiful attendance at their home games. Considering that they still suck, I don't see how moving back to SD would benefit the team or the NBA as a whole.
Re: My NBA idea
Re: My NBA idea
kc had a nba team and it failed miserably.... just like the nhl team they had... if they want to take a big risk then do it..
Re: My NBA idea
Send the Clippers to Seattle...

So you thought you saw it all
Well John G. i think i'll throw away my contacts. I've almost seen it all. I've just gotten a 1953 Mercury one ton
dump truck. 239.4 c.i. R motor. 12 volt system. Sat since
- Got the spark back in about 1/2 hour and got her running in about 10 minuets. Here is the best part. Only
half of the engine runs. Cylinders 1-2-3-4. The right side,
5-6-7-8. No way. You have any ideas ? Haven't had much of a chance to work on it yet but thought you might want to hear something completely different. And you think you have problems and get the wierd stuff. I did notice this engine has a rebuild sticker on it from the same engine rebuilders i worked for in 68.I wonder if this was one of the engines i built ? It only has 27,548 miles on it. Even the door lock works. Yes, door lock, as in one. Passenger side only. A safety thing in those days. You lock and unlock the vehicle on the curb side of the road. I'll let you know what i find out. I haven't looked at my car with the V.A.P.S. problem. Not on my priority list. This Mercury is my kind of vehicle. Any of you guys and gals
that love the old stuff make damn sure you chime in. love
to hear from you.
What you have described is a V8 engine. The cylinders on the right side are numbered 1,3,5,7 and the cylinders on the left side (driver's side) are 2,4,6,8. Do you have a bunch of spark wires mixed up?
Look around on the egnine. The firing order may be cast onto intake manifold.
Lots of possiblities Kalining.
Single barrel carb, or dual?
What is compression?
Do you have spark to those cylinders?
Being this is points, it may be they are not opening/closing at the correct time. (Point wear, distributor cam wear)
Of course musical plug wires is always a possibility.
Bottom line start with the basics, see where they lead. This sat for a long time, there is nothing to say that the valves didnt seize in the guides and all of the pushrods are now laying in the valley.......
Enjoy this repair. "One you should really be able to climb into."
**What you have described is a V8 engine. The cylinders on the right side are numbered 1,3,5,7 and the cylinders on the left side (driver's side) are 2,4,6,8.**
That's not necessarily true jemdandy. Seems like I remember Ford numbering it's cylinders as the poster says. I've seen vehicles numbered all kinds of ways including rear to front vs front to rear.
One really needs to find a book to see how the manufacturer numbered the cylinders and what the firing order is, compression and ignition specs, ect. I'd be willing to bet it's wired correctly now.
Does this sucker pick up more cylinders when you give it more throttle? If so, I'd suspect it's a two barrel carb and an air bleed for the idle circuit on one side is blocked. Still dead off idle, perhaps a main jet is blocked. I think I'd pull the plugs first to make sure they're clean enough to fire before doing anything. Ignition issues are usually the best place to start. The one side dead symptom sounds very unusual to me. Usually carb issues affect two cylinders on each side. But that really depends on how the intake is configured and I don't have a clue how yours is. I never worked on many engines that old, and that was a quarter century ago. Sounds like fun but that wouldn't be my first choice of vehicles to tinker with. :)
Thanks for all the input. Nice to know there are people
WANTING to help. Actually Gary is right on. This engine is
numbered that way. Right side ( sitting in the vehical )
1-2-3-4.-- 5-6-7-8 left side. Ignition wires are proper. First thing i checked. Bent or worn distributer lobes or bent shaft ? I dought it because the misfiring would follow the firing order. Normal firing order. 1-5-4-8-6-3-7-2. This truck has a dual down draft. The non firing cylinders are wet. If this truck had a dual
down draft "concentric" carb. I'd blame the carb. It may have one hell of a vacumm leak on one side but i dought it.
This is the same truck i had here 10 years ago with a head
gasket leak. the guy i bought it from had it fixed but
if i know him the head may have been off for 5 years before it was repaired and put back together. All the valves could be stuck in the guides on this head. But all
eight ? (These engines don't have push rods.) As i said before i haven't had time to spend time on this motor. I
grew up with these engines. Nice step back in time. We used
to get truck engines to put in our cars because the truck engine had 10 extra H.P. Good off the line. This engine would do 97 miles per hour in second gear in a 1950 ford
and 105 in third gear to the floor. A dual down draft
concentric we could get 112 without the oil bath air cleaner and a 3" rad hose connected to the carb and stuck
out the front fender with a 6" funnel stuck on the hose and
the back half of the funnel cut off to fit the 3" hose.
That was our ram air. Haven't done the compression test
yet but will get at it. Here is a F.Y.I. (and i have the
book and manual for this truck). Ford garrantied the flat
head V8, providing it had oil in it and was run, for 7 mile without oil. We tried it. My friend, Dan's car went
for 9 miles. Mine went for 8.3 They just spun a bearing or two. Cool it off and it started. One hell of a noise but it ran. We didn't make it home that night but both engines started again for a few seconds. Here is the best part.
I just checked. Head gasket kit for this engine is $23.00
Canadian. Over bore is $97.00. this engine is 40 over go
figure. Thanks for the in put guys. i'll let you know
how it turns out. We are getting 20 below tonight so i'll
put the truck in the shop later this week. All the best to you all.
We used to have a 1937 ford truck on the farm. Is that what we're talking about, a flat head v8? Big button on the floor by the gas peddle you stomp on to work the starter? Is that what you have? If it is, I'd say ignition problem for sure because the one side dead symptom makes total sense then. Wish I had the engine out of that '37. Looked cool if nothing else.
You do have a mystery on your hands - only one side of the engine running. Below are some off-the-wall ideas:
o I can't imagine that exactly half of the spark plug leads would be bad, but check the resistance of all leads anyway.
o Did the engine sit for a long time with the carbureator removed? If so, maybe there is a mouse nest or a rag in the intake manifold.
o What is the condition of the distributor and rotor? I bet you have already looked closely at the inside of the cap.
o Maybe the valves on one bank are stuck open. It takes only one open valve to disable a cylinder.
o A compression test is a good idea.
You mentioned that this engine does not have pushrods. That means the valves are in the block, and there may be access plates on the lower side of the block to get at the lifters (under the manifolds, how inconvenient). I've seen grown men cry when setting the valve lash on these engines if they did not have a hoist, and as young boy,I heard new swear words.
Remove these plates and check the valve action. Corrosion and gum on the valve stems could be causing the valves to stick in the valve guides.
Where I grew up as a boy, we did not have Mercury trucks, just Chevy, Ford, and Studebaker. But I do remember those fantastic '48 - '50 Big, Black, Mercury sedans with flowing sides, fender skirts, with body work almost scraping the ground. Oh yeah, Chrome - Lots of chrome; Real bumpers and bumper guards. When you sat behing the wheel and gazed over that immence hood, you had the feeling that you were in command of a fine machine.
"The non firing cylinders are wet."
With fuel?
People often recite "suck, squeeze, bang, blow" as their description of how an engine operates.
Other times I will see someone say, "I have spark, fuel, and compression, but it won't fire"
What happens in the second line is, they may have spark, but is it enough spark and is it delivered at the right time? They may have a fuel, but will it burn, and is it the right amount? They may have compression, but is the engine actually breathing, fresh air in, and a clear exhaust out?
Have fun....
Yes this is an L head motor. Flat head. no push rods. Uses
valve tappets same as a Briggs and Strattton lawn mower. The old ones. I know all about the side covers. They'er on that engine somewhere. :) I actually still have the tool to unlock the jam nut and adjust the valve tappets somewhere. It's warming up to 10 below today so i'll check the compression. king pins are seized solid so it will stay in the yard for now. can't steer it. carb was never removed. those engines are famous for valves sticking in the block. same problem with the Wisconsin V4 flat head. If this is the side that had the cracked head and antifreeze leak i'll bet my last beer on a sunday the valves are hanging up with dried burnt antifreeze and rust. the cam probably spun around and pushed all the valves open on that side and that is where they stayed. But then again, All 8 valves ? Actually it only takes one
valve per cylinder to screw it up now that i think of it. Nice thing about the flat head is no way in hell the pistons will hit an open valve. I'll do a compression test today. nothing else to do. Then flood the cylinders with a
rust inhibitor.
Did the compression test on that jercury and it was
90 - 45 - 75 - 75. It fired on # 5 cylinder and the exhaust manifold on that cylinder got warm but the fuel
system is frozen now and will not stay running. I guess
i flooded the cylinders last week and the valve stems freed
up a little. It has potential. I'll leave it till spring.
She will run. That damn thing is in better shape than my 75
ford 1/2 ton. Well the cab that is. It has no body just a
wooden box. It's the same truck they show on the Ranch
Dressing commercial. The big green one. Going to be a fun
project. Don't know what the hell i'll do with a dump truck
but i'll find a use for it. It is so nice to see a V8
engine with 10 wires on it. ( not counting the ignition wires ). Oh yah. forgot the temp sender and oil sender, 12
wires. This motor has an electric oil sender and temp sender. They work. It is a 12 volt system. Very strange.
They didn't use 12 volts on the G.M. till 55. I think ford
went 12 volt sooner in the truck than the car. Don't
remember. I'm sure some of you guys or gals will remember.
We had a hay mower with a Wisconsin engine. Probably the same thing you're talking about. Air cooled job, right? Ran good as long as it was started often enough. Every summer I'd have to pull the heads, shoot a light lubricant down the valve stems and tap down the valves till I'd see them consistently close on their own a few times. Usually good for the season after that. Don't remember it taking very long to do anyway.
Another shop that I work bought an older Ford with a similar engine. He asked me if I "knew anything about them", and I had to laugh. The first thing I asked hin teasingly is where is the diagnostic connector?
I remember the last car I put a set of points in, but seriously I don't recall when it was. Two, maybe three years ago?
As far as tappets, with no pushrods. The closest I have come to that is a lawnmower engine. I cannot recall doing any significant engine work where that design was used.
You can keep the good old days machines. I like the new ones. VBG
Yah, The good old Wis.Those heads should be put on with
zippers. Having the carb and exhaust pipe pointing
straight up doesn't help much either. The old Chevy 235.5
c.i.d. over head was another fun machine. No timing chain.
No oil filter. That was a bolt on option. That 53 chev was a 6 volt system. you put your foot on the clutch in winter to start because with 90 weight oil in the trans you ain't
turning that engine. you could actually stall the motor if
you dumped the clutch in neutral on a 30 delow day. i did it. It used a pressed linin fiber cam gear that went bald if the oil spray tube shooting oil on it plugged up with cork from the valve cover gasket. Mine did. I remember changing the cam on that car. Removed the bumper,rad, and grill. Pulled the cam out. SH&T. forgot to pin the lifters and dropped everyone into the oil pan. NICE. I'm not that old but i've had a lot of cars. friend of mine had a 49 Mercury and i had a 57 Mercury TurnPike Cruiser. I wish i had them now. If we only knew.
Kalining, It very simple, this Merc just doesn't like that cold Canadian weather.
Its rebelling.
Nothing operates in 20 below zero weather.
I remember those cold Minnesota days and nights that seem to last all year.
It took all summer to just warm up for the next snow fall.
Move that Merc to a warmer climate, like say California, and she will start in a second, run like a dream, and love you for it. Look at all the surf boards she could carry.
Bames. that is a dream of mine to get the hell out of this
S%IT hole. I can't say how i feel about this country
because i'd probably be shot. If i could get the I.N.S.
to allow me into the U.S. i'd be there before you heard a
dial tone and i'd take my Merc. We'll go surfing.
Imagine how much beer she could hold.
I hear you about working on vehicles in the cold - ain't no fun. Gotta watch for frost bite. Twenty seven years ago, I changed a set of spark plugs on a '73 Dodge V8, 400 cubic inch engine. The temperature was -15 F (-26.1 C) I had to crawl underneath for plug No. 8. I touched the back of my bare hand against the manifold. Later, when inside, I noticed my hand had a burning senstaion and big blister appeared. I had a 2nd degree frost bite.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Someone above mentioned a Wisconsin V4 motor. I grew up in the oil-fields in southern Illinois, and a Wisconsin V2 or V4 motor was used as a starting motor for the Waukesha diesels that were on the oil drilling rigs in the 1940s. On a cold winter day, it was a strain on this starter engine to get the diesel going. A drill rig had 2 of these diesels: one for the drill head and the second one for the mud pump. These were HEAVY dudes and sank into the mud in spring. These engines were replaced by 500 hp Ford V8 gasoline engines in the 1950s, a much less weighty rig, plus the future production of Waukesha diesels was in question at that time.
Kalining, Load the Merc up with used mattresses or old tires, and I mean stack those babies as high as you can reach with a crane. Tie them down with kite string or bungee cord and head for the border. Make sure the Merc is running a little rough and throwing out some blue smoke. When you get there tell them your name is Jose morels Garcia Rodriquez Jones and you are headed for Tijuana, but will be stopping at the Big Antique Auto Swap meet in Pomona to show off the Merc first. Chances are they will be dazzled and wave you through. Once you hit the freeway its a straight shot all the way to the coast.
Bames. Best idea i've heard in years. Here is the best part. I bet you it will work with no problem. The first
thing i have to do is find some dingle balls,dice to hang
from the mirror, and a plastic Jesus for the dash. I remember rebuilding my 57 merc 312 in january when i was
- Outside under a tarp with the motor still in the car.
Had no choice. Needed two pistons. Temp. was around -20 F. When you have to pick up your new girl friend, and you just convinced her that you arn't wierd and your so called best friend is still trying to put the moves on her, you will do most anything to get the car ready for the weekend.
I think twice about going out now if it is 0. Probably explains the Arthritis in both hands and arms.
Kalining, the Jesus on the Dash is a nice touch. Now you are ready to hit the road. Never look back and those sub-zero winters will soon be a faded memory. Working on that Merc in 75 degree weather with a slight ocean breeze will be a treat for both of you. My biggest fear living in Minnesota during those cold winter months was running of gas on an old country road in 20 below zero weather and not seeing a sole for miles. My biggest fear in the Summer was being eaten by Mosquitoes. You got Mosquitoes in Canada?
Do we have mosquitoes? Oh yah. Our mosquitoes are so big,
let's hear it. How big are they ? the only way you can
tell the difference between a mosquito and a humming
bird is the mosquito drinks blood. -34C this morning. the old taurus started. Little stiff but i got to do my beer
run. I'll plug her in to night. I actually think i saw my
poor old merc shivering. The poor old Taurus was in a comatose state. Actually so was i when i took a deap
breath and almost froze my lungs. I'd probably miss snow
at Christmas. Can't see Santa pulling up in his S.U.V.
I grew up in Canada(Saskatchewan, Grey Cup Champs baby), and spent 15 yrs in the Cdn Armed Forces. Now out and residing in the Washington DC area (3 yrs now) Don't get me wrong, people are fine in the USA, but would prefer to be back in Canada enjoying a Tim Hortons,lol. Good luck on the truck
kalining, My Grandparents on my dad's side were both born and raised in Canada, but came to the states (Washington and then on to the west coast way back when A Mercury was not even in Henry Fords wildest imagine. I got as far as Minnesota and the sub-zero climate stopped me in my tracts right there. I had to get back to the California Coast ASAP. The only snow I see now is about 2 weeks out of the year as we live up in the Southern California Mountains. We are only 30 minutes to the ocean. Its great that way. Sometimes we have snow for Christmas, but this year has been dry so we get wild fires instead. See, there's always a down side. However, frost bite is not in our vocabulary although at times, evacuation is.....
Yes. That truck's switch is at the back of the master
cylinder connected to a T fitting under the vehicle. Bad
idea. It was subject to road damage,ice,water, and half the
time the plactic top where the wires connect would crack and leak. Brake lights would usually stay on because the
fuild was on both sides of the diaphragm. My 53 chev had the same setup. Hard to put a switch on the peddle when it
comes up from the floor. Haven't looked at the truck but
my chev had a momentary spring loaded switch bolted to the
transmission case. A 2 inch lever was pushed back by the
shift linkage as it was put into reverse for the backup
lights. Was looking at the manual for my truck and it had
optional air brakes or vacumm boost. Brakes on this thing
are standard. Good thing, i guess. Got a phone call this
morning. No idea who this guy is or how he got my number
but he offered me $2000.00 for my truck. Thought about it.
NOT. I haven't heard it run on all 8 and haven't even taken it for a hoot down the road. I'm starting to like
that old girl. It's a good looking truck. give you an idea
of how long it sat. I found a 1 inch round 6 foot tall
poplar growing out of the moss on the wooden box where
it connects to the deck. Been snowing now for 48 hours
so have to cut more wood. Mind you it seems to warm up
when it snows. It's only -13C. pretty nice outside. The old
lady wants butter tarts and short bread for christmas so
i'll guess i'll get at it and keep her happy. She comes
home friday night.

The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The James Zadroga 9/11 Health and Compensation Act has taken effect.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg joined U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius and other officials Friday at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York.
Bloomberg says the law guarantees that those facing health problems related to 9/11 will be monitored by doctors and receive treatment at least until 2015.
He says the federal government is sharing in the responsibility for providing care to first-responders and others injured by the toxic dust at ground zero.
The law, passed in December, also reopened a victims' compensation fund for another five years. It covers wage and other economic losses of sickened workers and residents.

Breakfast Topic: Fear is the mind-killer {WoW}
Mar 17th 2010 11:38PM Its a good idea, but it only works if the tank has generated some global threat or otherwise has threat on everything (pull aggro for example)... Fade only drops all aggro you have at start, so pull aggro + global heal aggro for example. Fading and then casting something that causes threat, like a flash heal, attributes all threat from that flash heal to its caster.
That said I always tend to get pull aggro, no matter where I stand.
The Queue: 92 128 154 200 251 264 {WoW}
Mar 8th 2010 10:35PM Will there be any fights that'll become much more difficult without the burst healing available in WotLK? Or will it continue to be bursty, just less obviously so as a comparison to health pools... Where a 3 second 40k swing means you just need to time your greater heal right, not just afk flash healing.
I can imagine Mimiron being particularly tough for sustained healing done - this fight more than any I've done in WotLK felt like a consistent problem with healers, rather than general strategy for the whole raid caused wipes.
Introductory guide to fighting rogues, Part 2 {WoW}
Mar 7th 2010 5:55PM I'm a disc priest that duels rogues. I used to hate rogues - you're told to DoT and use your CC to peel, but psychic scream's cooldown is huge and a 3 second mind control would take 4.5 seconds to cast with a rogue beating on you. I'm not good at arena or even battlegrounds, but with 1356 resi I haven't lost a duel against a rogue in disc spec where I didn't d/c.
The basic strategy is to keep dots up to prevent a restealth, bubble yourself every time its off cooldown (reflective shield is beautiful) and if you can afford to, fear + mind control with DoTs ticking. It takes a while but against rogues with similar gear levels (highest I've duelled was 1336 resi to be fair), its particularly effective.
Patch 3.3.3 PTR: Priest healing tier 10 4-piece bonus changed {WoW}
Mar 3rd 2010 10:53AM Using Twin Valk as a benchmark for holy healing (I haven't gotten past plagueworks in ICC, raid one night a week) - I can see how either bonus would be effective. PoM tank, Glyphed CoH pretty much anyone in the raid, SoL a tank, reset CoH anyone in the raid and you're looking at big HPS and little overhealing.
With this, PoM tank, glyphed CoH, SoL tank, renew someone taking a significant amount of damage while PoM and CoH reset. I rarely use casted flash heals over instant ones, but it can enter the playstyle if you're a first responder to a wounded dps below 50%, or you already have renew up on the tank and its a high damage phase. With imp and emp renew (possibly even glyphed) renew tends to come out third on my hps, even with a bunch of druids rolling HoTs everywhere. I prefer having flash heal glyphed since it tends to put a bigger dent in my mana than renew when I do use it.
Update: Keylogger source identified {WoW}
Mar 1st 2010 12:57PM If you want a firewall, Online Armor is your best bet: http://www.tallemu.com/
Unfortunately its not compatible with windows 64 bit so I'm using Norton atm, but there you go.
Totem Talk: Save yourself {WoW}
Mar 1st 2010 5:44AM Save yourself and let them (the other dps) suffer.
Phat Loot Phriday: Medallion of (your Faction) {WoW}
Feb 27th 2010 6:48AM I see gains on resi on the tooltip from 1230-1320, so I'm guessing that the cap is higher than 1320. I heard 1400 somewhere, but can't provide any evidence for that.
Introductory guide to fighting priests, Part 3 {WoW}
Feb 27th 2010 6:29AM The only time a dps should be interrupting a healing spell is if its in a clutch moment and they know they can drop the priest in the next 4 seconds. The only time a priest would stop to cast penance when a dps is within interrupt range is if they really need the heal. With 2500 spellpower, rank 4 penance will hit normally for up to 2.8k per tick. If they 're interrupted after the first tick, they'll have received 1.4k healing with a mortal strike effect on them, have no healing spells for the next 4 seconds and their penance will be on cooldown further to that. If weakened soul has a 10 second duration on top of that as well, it should be relatively easy to drop the disc down after that.
Interrupting mana burn gives them free healing spells for the next 10 seconds, as well as smite and holy fire on your healer if that's who you're looking out for. They'll be able to get off 3 or so mana burns if your healer is standing still on top of that too - unless your burst is high enough for them to not risk using offensive cooldowns. Some disc healers spec and glyph for smite dps, which provides viable burst for 2s.

Feb 26th 2010 5:25PM http://www.wowhead.com/?spell=53007
Penance skill: holy.
Also, hunters can viper sting and priests can't dispel it and since it doesn't have a cast time, can't LoS.
Spiritual Guidance: Raiding Icecrown Citadel (Part 1), Page 2 {WoW}
Feb 25th 2010 9:39PM Worth noting that AFAIK you can mind sear the cult adherents and if there are no mages, dispel their shroud. The only thing to look out for is if they're mutated or reanimated they become resistant to magic, at which point you should yell at the melee and start dpsing lady d.

I'm already thinking about next year and what goals to set. Should I set a lot? Should I go with a couple of BIG goals and then have a kinda to do list similar to this year? Hmmm. Something to ponder as I try and complete (or not!), everything on this years list.
- Reduce our mortgage to less than
£83,000 £80,000– Goal revised to £85,000 <—shouldwill happen on December 1st - Contribute/save at least
£3,000(revised) £2,500 to our future financial freedom – Yes by way of pension contributions - Save at least
£1,000– Goal revised to £4.500 for house repairs – Saved and spent! - Save £900 for gifts <— saved and spent – wasn't enough!
Save £1,300 for a family holiday– completed, went to Portugal in September- Save £4,000 for a trip to Washington/NY in 2013 – goal cancelled to pay for building repairs
Save £700 for a mini break to Italy– completed, went to Rome in June- Complete our 11 item house to do list – Um no, but did some major building work.
- Read 20 books – 18/20 – hope to complete this month.
- Lose 42lbs – 0/42 – FAIL!
- Watch 52 films* – 23/52 – failing but okay with that
Achieve 5 life list goals– completed :0)
2012 To Do List
Travel (Places to visit)
Rome– June 2012- Brighton – no not happening…went to London though
Portugal– September 2012New York– April 2012

**My blogging at Move to Portugal has been a little hit and miss this year. To be honest I've been struggling to find a direction to go in as (so) much of our financial stuff is talked about on my other site, and I don't want to repeat the information. Right now I'm thinking this place needs to just be about goal chasing – in particular how I'm progressing with my life list. The possibility of achieving everything, or nearly everything, on my life list brings me joy, and that seems as good a reason as any to write a blog.
How are you doing with your 2012 goals? Any major successes?

Ugh, I wish I hadn't bought this. It leaves my hair rough, tangly and nasty feeling. Even if I pile on the leave-in conditioners or hair oils afterward, my hair still dries frizzy and poufy. All the other EnJoy products I've tried have been exceptional, so this was a bad surprise. I gave it 2 lippies instead of just one only because for someone with very healthy, naturally silky, frizz-free hair, this might be fine. But why would that person even need a reconstructor? Oh, heck, I'm gonna change it to a one.

absolutely LOVE this product! this isn't a review on personal use, but using on others. i work in a salon and we've started carrying this. what makes it awesome and really sets it apart from other deep conditioners i've used is the fact that it balances the pH of the hair. this is so beneficial especially if you're using it right after a color application, as this will help seal the cuticle/seal in the colour to make it last longer. it really helps to smooth the hair as well. i used this on one client the other day. she had gone from black to medium brown and her hair was pretty dry. i put this on her and ran it through for a good 5 minutes. after i rinsed it felt incredible, and as she was being blowdried you could completely see a difference. i have yet to really use this on myself, but from what experience i have using it on others, it really does work wonders:D planning on purchasing a bottle soon for my home use!

This summer in Los Angeles, "Machining Adaptive Living"—a visiting school program from the London-based Architectural Association School of Architecture (AA)—will convene at University of Southern California's School of Architecture. Led by Alvin Huang, AIA, and Kevin Patrick McClellan—themselves alumni of, and former classmates at, the AA—the two week intensive program invites participants to rethink topics of the Case Study House Program introduced by Arts & Architecture magazine editors John Entenza and David Travers in 1945. As part of the AA's mission to operate as an international open forum, the school has run several years' worth of pop-up schools around the world. Although the AA has held these visiting programs in the U.S. before as recently as last year, "Machining Adaptive Living" marks the first in Los Angeles, home to the bulk of the Case Study houses. "We're trying to hinge the program on what we feel is the essence of L.A. architecture, which is the Case Study movement," Huang says. "We'll explore a contemporary take on it with contemporary methodology and design tools." Huang, founder of Los Angeles-based Synthesis Design, also holds a tenure-track position as a professor of architecture at USC.

Using USC's architecture studio facilities, students will break into clusters, with each cluster exploring a different aspect of the house through full-scale mockups, drawings, and digitally-fabricated pieces during a ten-day design charrette. The resulting experimentations will be on display at an exhibition at the historic Bradbury Building during L.A.'s Design Week. Huang's cluster, which he will co-teach with Kevin McClellan, will focus on the butterfly roof, made famous by William Krisel in development houses in Palm Springs, as an organizer within the home. Instructor Jenny Wu—a teacher at SCI-Arc and co-founder of local firm Oyler Wu Collaborative—will investigate the topic of the hallway as a grid generator, while instructor Adam Marcus, AIA—director of Oakland, Calif.-based design and research office Variable Projects—will look at the performative partition.

In addition to the design studios, the visiting school will also feature site visits to local examples of the Case Study houses, lectures by renowned practitioners, and a design writing component taught by program coordinator Danielle Rago. Rago, also an alumna of the AA, and co-curator of a traveling, serial exhibition entitled "On the Road," describes the writing portion of the program as "looking at the historical narrative of the program to pair it with current architectural practice." Nearly 70 years after the Case Study houses were initiated, experimentation with the notion of the single-family home is still relevant, and the program will investigate how current and future dwellings can carry out the tenets of modernism through digital fabrication. The visting school program will also feature a series of lectures by local architects (which will be open to the public), including
• Marc Fornes (TheVeryMany) • Tom Wiscombe, AIA (Tom Wiscombe Design) • Heather Roberge (murmur) • Neil Denari, AIA (NMDA)
The AA runs more than 50 visiting school programs per year scattered around the world, including four in the United States this year. Notable alumni of the AA include Ben van Berkel, Hon. FAIA, Nicholas Grimshaw, Steven Holl, FAIA, and Zaha Hadid, Hon. FAIA, with faculty ranging from David Adjaye, Hon. FAIA, to Alejandro Zaera-Polo.
Registration for the program, which runs from June 16-27, will close June 1. For more information, please visit losangeles.aaschool.ac.uk
