"I am a veterinary technician of 21 years. Too many times in my career I have seen clients make emergent and critical decisions about their beloved pet's medical care, based on cost.
The hospital I work for, Wheat Ridge Animal Hospital, recently added Trupanion as an employee benefit. While at first I was skeptical, it very quickly turned to relieved and thankful!
In March 2014, my 5-month-old puppy, Blitzen, was inadvertently fed a handful of grapes. Three days of hospitalization, IV fluids, lab work and $3,000.00 later I was extremely grateful to have the peace of mind that his Trupanion coverage was in place. He has visited the hospital a few other times with less critical issues, but each time I have had the peace of mind that I can allow the doctors to do whatever they deem necessary, in the best interest of my puppy's health care, while Trupanion takes care of the majority of the cost and the stress that comes with it.


text: Beth Howard Stubbs, Class of 2000, has been named as the new Chair of the President's Club, Westminster's most prestigious annual giving society. The President's Club is a recognition society for loyal alumni, parents and friends who provide leadership support for the College through the gifts of $1,250 or above ever year. "I am very excited about the opportunity to serve as the President's Club Chairperson. My time at Westminster provided me with a well-rounded liberal arts education, life-long relationships and a foundation to be able to critically think in those necessary situations, " says Stubbs. "All of this was made possible by the generous scholarships and support I received. At that time, I vowed that as soon as I was able, I would try to help offer those same opportunities to future Westminster students. That time has now arrived, and I am looking forward to working with the staff and fellow alumni on how we can best support the College to ensure that the same opportunities we received are here for generations to come."Beth is one of Westminster's most active and generous young alumni. As a member of the President's Club since 2007, she has given generously in support of plant operations, the tennis program, endowed scholarships, the Undergraduate Scholars Forum and the Alumni Council, an organization she served as President. She has also included Westminster in her estate plans."Beth is a perfect match for her new duties as President's Club Chairperson as we begin writing the next chapter in Westminster College's wonderful history," says Westminster President Dr. George B. Forsythe. "Beth's extraordinary leadership and personal dedication to Westminster have been reflected in her investment of time, talent and treasure over many years. I am truly excited that Beth has chosen to serve in this important role."After leaving Westminster, Stubbs earned a Bachelor of Science Degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences at the St. Louis College of Pharmacy. She has served as a student preceptor and adjunct professor of pharmaceutical compounding for the University of Missouri at Kansas City for the past five years. She is a partner in Kilgore's Medical Pharmacy in Columbia, MO, a business which recorded annual sales of nearly $50 million this past year."I can't think of anyone better to lead our top group of donors than Beth," says Dr. John Comerford, Westminster's Vice President for Institutional Advancement. "She is extremely generous in her support of our students with her volunteer time and financial support. She personally knows the power of a Westminster education and is helping deliver it to the next generation of students."

Is there a service available for exporting georeferenced OpenStreetMap (OSM) maps in the GeoTiff format?
Take the 2-minute tour
Geographic Information Systems Stack Exchange is a question and answer site for cartographers, geographers and GIS professionals. It's 100% free, no registration required.
There is no service or readily available tool that I can think of. But if you are comfortable on the command line and willing to spend some time tinkering, here is a way that can work
I don't know of a tool either. If you aren't comfortable at the command line, I'd download the data from OSM, load into a desktop GIS and export a GeoTiff OR use QGIS with this plugin and then create an empty Geotif for the area you are interested in and then see if you can merge the data down into the empty file. I haven't tried that in QGIS, but with some work it should be possible. You'll want to check the licensing terms for OSM before doing that. |

He Cheated...Now What?
You caught your significant other cheating. Now what? Dump the two-timing liar, right? While that may seem like the obvious response, life isn't always that black and white. Maybe you just bought a house together or have kids involved. Maybe you realize it's the fifth time someone is cheating on you and you're thinking that you may be doing something wrong. After cheating has occurred, when do you stay and when do you go?
Dr. Rita DeMaria, of the Council for Relationships, sees patients with exactly those kinds of questions all the time. According to her, most people never intended to cheat. "People think they are going to be able to be faithful but they start to grow apart or one person doesn't want to get involved with the romantic aspects and the other person starts to become very frustrated. The more unaware someone is of how unhappy they are, the more dangerous it is." People often vent their frustrations to others around them, and often times that connection with someone will turn into cheating. Consider that about 90% of affairs for men and 60% of affairs for women take place at work and this becomes even more apparent. Cheating often signifies other problems in the relationship, and in some cases the issues can be resolved.
When to stay: Of course, you need to consider practical matters. If you are married and have a life together, it is obviously more difficult to walk away from the situation. The most important factor, however, is willingness from your partner to stop cheating and work things out. If both parties are willing to try, she suggests seeking professional help and getting ready to be very open with communication. "The person who's been betrayed always wants to know certain things…[often you say to yourself] 'How could I have missed it? I had no idea' so it causes a time warp and people need to put the pieces back to make sense of their life." Once the couple has worked through the cheating, it's a matter of keeping things honest and not letting the old communication problems pop up again. "Keep communication open, keep romance alive, and make sure that you keep your own sexual energy and interests healthy."

Graves studied Classical architecture during his time at the American Academy in Rome during 1960, first garnering professional attention with the 1972 publication of Five Architects, which featured two neo-Corbusian projects. Widespread public attention came with the unveiling of the Portland Building, completed in 1980. The design epitomized the au courant postmodern style, and has recently been added to the National Register of Historic Places.
His work includes Walt Disney World's Dolphin and Swan Hotels, the Denver Public Library, and the U.S. Department of Transportation Headquarters in Washington, D.C. His domestic objects include the now-iconic tea kettle for Alessi and a seemingly never-ending line of products for Target, making Graves's designs ubiquitous in many American homes.
Graves and last year's winner, Robert A.M. Stern, FAIA, see their back-to-back selections as an opportunity for the award to evolve. "They don't have to give it to someone who uses Corinthian columns anymore," Graves says. Stern adds: "It can go to someone whose work embodies and incorporates Classical principles."
Does this mean a more contemporary, theory-based practitioner such as Peter Eisenman, FAIA, might be next year's laureate? "Peter thinks he should get it because he teaches a Palladio course," Graves says—before discounting any chance that Eisenman would ever be seriously considered. But the same might have been said of Graves before now.

Just north of Waco a woman from Iowa was killed. She was driving down I-35, a crowded, fast, bone-crushing interstate connecting all of North America. She was driving north when a tire flew out of the bed of a south bound pick-up flew and through the windshield of her car and instantly killed her. It was a tragedy, a death of inches and seconds.
The strokes and the aftermaths of the strokes brought Marty close too many times. Marty has cheated death, she has pushed through death, she has lived through things others do not survive.
Death, the end of all, I've seen it when I didn't know it was there. I've seen it when the fear of it was completely suppressed by the urgency of the moment. I've seen it when I stood beside and over her pleading with her not to go, not to succumb. But, I really haven't seen it at all, I am ignorant of death.
Sometimes, I think I think about it too much. I know when we first came home after the 2nd stroke it was on my mind every day, every cough, every sneeze, every breath she took. The thinking of death, the worrying of Marty dying pushed away any semblance of living our new life. Talking about what happened, understanding the impact of what happened helps with the obsession, it helps with perspective, it helps with focusing on what is important, life itself.
The first stroke, the ruptured aneurysm should have killed her. The rupture, the bleeding, the surgery, the infections, the vasospasms, the hydrocephalus should have taken her. They didn't, she lived, she recovered, and she came home. I didn't understand at the time that death was so close. It never occurred to me, the very real possibility of Marty dying was not real; my innocence shielded me from reality.
Weeks later, after multiple procedures, after multiple brain-jarring events, after the ICU and in a regular hospital room I saw it up close. This time I could see it in her face as she turned blue and couldn't breathe, this time I was there right beside her. I was barely awake when I heard Marty cough once and then start gasping for air. I stood over her as she struggled in the bed to try and pull air into her lungs and couldn't, the color in her face started to fall away, replaced by a light blue tint as I pushed the call button to get help.
Nurses and a respiratory therapist came immediately and began clearing her tracheotomy and clearing her airway allowing oxygen to fill her lungs. Her skin began to return to a more normal color as I sat to the side on the hard built-in couch in the sterile room. The event was over, it was then I could feel the fear of the moment, the fear of the consequences of that event take hold of my brain. It was only after the she almost suffocated, only as the lights went off in the room, only after I lay down on the hard couch did I finally confront how close we had been and how afraid I was as I laid in the dark watching over Marty.
After the second stroke, about a week into her hospital stay Marty contracted pneumonia and was put into the ICU at Providence. The infection she was fighting in her weakened body took a heavy toll and she was incredibly weak. I stood over her early one afternoon as her blood pressure registered just above death.
Looking down, I saw Marty inflamed from an allergic reaction to one of the many antibiotics they were pumping through her body through one of the many tubes connected to her. Her feet were elevated to push blood to her brain and they were running fluids into her as fast as possible. She was weak, she was quiet and barely aware as I stood there and pleaded with her not to go, not to leave me yet, I was not ready to let her go. Apparently, Marty wasn't ready either and through sheer will, through the miracle of modern drugs, through grace, she stayed and pulled away from death once again.
In the grand scheme of life I don't have a lot of experience with death and dying and I don't really know much about it. Frankly, I'm not looking for anymore hands on experience than I already have. Through Marty, through her courage and her willingness to think and talk about dying I think I understand a lot more about my own fears and misconceptions. Through Marty's faith, through her grace, through her comfort with the end I think I have lost part of my fear of death and dying.
I don't think I believe that God reaches down and plucks any of us from the jaws of death. I don't think I am comfortable saying that God reached down and continued to breathe life into Marty each time she seemed on the precipice of leaving life. I don't think God was involved in a tire bouncing across the interstate into some poor soul's car. I don't think it works that way, I think living and dying is much simpler than an act of God, we just break.
What I do believe -- Marty and I still have stuff to do. I do believe Marty and I have places to go, people to see, and more life to live. I believe that there are still moments of laughter and smiles for us; I believe there are tears we still need to cry and I believe it is always a lot better to focus on the living and not the dying. Sometimes, sadly, it just happens.
And I realize after all this time that I don't know your name. You are so much more than Marty's husband. You are a wise and helpful guide to living life.
I agree with you that God was not part of a tire bouncing into a windshield, and I don't know that the time and place that Marty will pass is necessarily pre-ordained.
Heck, she may well outlive you!
What I DO know is that you write so well what I think and feel, and I appreciate that.
You make me stop to realize we are all fortunate to be here and doing something with our lives is the opportunity to prove we have purpose. You and Marty certainly have purpose.
Best wishes dear L. And to Marty too.

What's next Uggla: Plastic surgery?
Auburn looks terrible again this year
Richt and Bobo have taken the killer instinct out of their playbook when it comes to scoring inside the red zone. Murray deserves a better offensive coordinator. As does next year's starting quarterback.
Can't we find a second base player who can also hit? Send Uggla packing, please!
The offense should get its share of the blame, but the defense can't stop anyone. Last three UGA games - allowed 30-plus vs. Bama, 30-plus vs. Nebraska, 30-plus vs. Clemson. What's the problem Grantham?
Anyone giving up on a team after a 3 point loss to #8 is not a true fan of the DAWGS so get lost!
Surely we have better pitchers in the minors than Kameron Loe. That guy is awful!
Georgia fans are soooo ungrateful. You have one of the best football coaches in the country and you bad-mouth him. There are many, many colleges that would love to swap their coach for the Bulldogs coach.
Sorry UGA fans, I think you will be talking about an 0-2 team this time next week.
You can't expect to go far in the playoffs if you can't score with 2 runners in scoring position and less than 2 outs.
Georgia fans, not only get over it - get used to it.
If Gurley can stay healthy, I see a Heisman in his future.
Gurley-25 carries, Marshall 20 carries(toss sweeps) Murray 15 passes, and Hicks 10 carries. Clowney will be sucking wind by the 3rd Quarter!
Hey Dog fans! You're headed south in the polls. After USC beats you, it's gonna be bye, bye top 20. So funny!
Georgia fans can stop looking for the "next Herschel." He's here, and wearing #3.
I am disgusted with what Manziel is doing, HOWEVER, I am for ANY TEAM beating Alabama anytime!
It's not Bobo's fault that trickery doesn't work as good as execution.

January 16 to February 27, 2009
by Ann M. Fox
Associate Professor of English,Davidson College
Co-curator of RE/FORMATIONS
Professor Fox specializes in twentieth-century dramatic literature and disability studies. Her teaching interests include modern drama, disability in literature, feminist theater, contemporary American multicultural drama, performance theory, and women writers. Her scholarship has traced the rise of feminist sensibilities in American commercial theater; her articles on playwrights Rachel Crothers and Sophie Treadwell have been published in Text and Presentation, while her study of Dorothy Parker's playwriting appears in the volume The Critical Waltz: Essays on the Work of Dorothy Parker. More recently, her work on disability and performance has been published in Contemporary Theatre Review, the National Women's Studies Association Journal, and the book Gendering Disability. She has served on the executive board of the Society for Disability Studies, and was an American Association of University Women American Postdoctoral Fellow for 2003-2004. Her current book project traces the representation of disability on the twentieth-century commercial stage. Dr. Fox is also the coordinator for the Gender Studies Concentration at Davidson College.
Other works try to engage our fear, turning it back on itself. Rebecca Horn's Finger Gloves, depicted in the short films that are being screened as part of this exhibition,disrupt the implicit boundary between Horn's own body and the space beyond it, suggesting that no body is set, impervious, containable, or able to be preserved indefinitely. The prosthetics themselves are curiously conflicted: they are at once elegant and inefficient, freakish and whimsical, digit-like and clearly constructed. Indeed, one wonders to what extent these can be seen as an ironic commentary on how the so-called "abnormal" body is perceived by others, exemplified by the fact that villains in literature and popular culture are often equipped with false limbs. Are they a commentary on the fact that some prosthetics are meant to comfort the viewer, rather than the wearer, and actually hinder movement? Horn at once references and recasts the fundamental meanings and materials of prosthetics; unlike the wooden leg of Ahab or the gleaming metallic blades of the Wolverine, these are made of softer stuff. Nancy Fried's Black Torso seems initially neutral, almost expectant; unlike Hands on Hips or The Flirt, there seems no specific manner in which the work engages us. Instead, we're invited to become contemplative, to engage honestly with a torso where we are prepared to meet it; in its neutrality, it creates blackness as the norm and the center, rather than the secondary identity with a negative connotation.
Still other reformations await us as viewers, particularly through this exhibit's emphasis on sculpture as a medium. Sculpture is traditionally male-dominated, demands physical strength, and significant financial means. What happens when women, doubly "othered" in terms of gender and perhaps economics, as well as their own physicality, choose to explore this medium? When an artist is disabled, what does it mean for the explosion of artistic possibility when sculpture-making processes accommodate other ranges of movement, other ways of working? What does it mean when materials reflect the material reality of life lived with a disability? We reform our understanding of the materials with which it is possible to make sculpture—from Judith Scott's fiber art to Harriet Sanderson's whimsical and pointed use, as a woman with post-polio syndrome, of fragmented canes; suddenly the permanent, enduring, and hard materials of sculpture like stone and metal yield the floor to the materials of this exhibition, from wood to ceramics, from fiber art to chemical peels, that are easily fragmented, fragile, or relatively impermanent. To be sure, this evokes the familiar questioning of the divide between art and craft explored by feminist artists. Like the disabled body, these materials remind us of our own fragility; now, we must contemplate that fragility.
Disability has long been a presence in literature and art, and the new disability artists working in painting, photography, and drawing are taking up the challenge to recast that presence. This exhibit enters into a third dimension, and its use of sculpture offers particular opportunities for making meaning to both artist and viewer. Historically both women and disabled people have been rendered invisible by society, relegated to private spaces: either the domestic, or the medical/institutional. Sculpture reverses that invisibility, enters into the world of the spectator, and insists on its own visibility and viability. Judith Scott's wrapped sculptures establish a presence that was denied her during decades of institutionalization. Laura Splan's Trousseau series (created specially for this exhibition), a collection of gloves, lingerie, and other intimate objects created from the residue of cosmetic facial peel, emerge in their fragile state from within a heavy black trunk. Like Harriet Sanderson's untitled installation featuring a chair and mattress pads, they reference the world of the private and the hidden. In Splan's case, what the Trousseau series renders visible are the underpinnings of the performance of gender, a performance that, as the installation's title suggests, is meant for a male gaze, perhaps within that ultimate female "prize," a marriage. Splan creates gloves, a negligee, a purse, and other "heirloom objects," inspired by other objects of the same kind inherited from her grandmother, aunts, and mother with which she used to play. She likens the objects in her series to the "'skin' of a feminine ideal as it [is] prescribed by cultural and social conventions of grace, beauty, and class." Splan's work, embroideries on the leavings of a cosmetic facial peel, literally engages ideals of beauty as superficial layerings. By making delicate, feminine objects, Splan at once references and satirizes this enforced femininity as fragile, illusory, and "skin deep." In Sanderson's installation, she creates what she describes as "a private bedroom type space, a retreat for the person with chronic health problems, from which emerges, finally, an individual presenting herself to the 'normal' world. . . the daily ritual of resurrection begins and ends in the private space of the bedroom-dressing room." Sanderson's mattress pads are both resting place and medium, a duality seen elsewhere in her work's use of canes and wheelchairs. That medium enfolds and cascades out of the seatless chair, and upon it, Sanderson has delineated different patterns in ink, all of which are present as potential within the seemingly generic , seemingly blank white quilting. There is a contemplative quality to the drawings, a sense they were created in the same kind of meditative rhythm as a sand mandala. They evoke the world of the person who experiences pain and must remain in bed, suggesting a bodily experience and imaginative life that might otherwise remain unacknowledged.
In Re/Formations, we are, quite literally, invited to inhabit the skins and shoes of others, as the metaphors become the materials through which exhibition artists make work. This suggests another powerful element of this exhibit: it suggests embodied experience—of being disabled, of being a disabled woman, of being a nondisabled woman—happens in many ways, ways too numerous to be fully represented here. Fried's torsos, for example, delineate her changing relationship to her post-mastectomy body over time, in all its vagaries and complexity. One corner of Molt, with Scurs is made up of multiple pairs of high-heeled shoes, lined up against a wall, their heels fashioned from the tips of canes. There's both kinship and whimsy in this installation. Sanderson's use of a curved cane tip for the heel of a woman's dress shoe makes the point that such dress footwear can limit the mobility of even the most ambulatory user in the name of beauty, rendering them fully stopped, as if against a wall. And the high-heeled shoe is, of course, unstable and impractical for the body with limited mobility. But the installation also creates the hybridized cane/shoe as an object of whimsy and playfulness, reminding us that canes and shoes are, after all, paired to create mobility in their actual lives as objects. The normal heels of the shoes have been amputated from the bodies of the footwear and lay scattered about the gallery with other cane tips that seem to have exploded free from the "cane chair." As the viewer looks at the new shoe/cane creations, there's something sexy and dangerous about the sinuous hooks of the highest heels, a rendering of disability as vehicle for haute couture. Ultimately, these shoes are not a simplistic reinforcement of ableist metaphors to critique beauty norms; they become a kind of expression of alternate movement and "disability cool."

My favorite places on earth are bookstores. However, it didn't always start this way. When I was a child, I had a mother and a grandmother who spent hours in bookstores leaving me to my own devices in the kid's section. I remember the excruciating boredom and I was always perplexed at how they could want to pile on as many books at the cash register as they could manage. Finally, as an adult, I get it. I can't stay away. I always ask myself why I do or feel the things that I do. I think I may have figured it out. Once I got past the playful childhood stage, my passion became words. It was always there in whispers and I can even hear it in the recording of my three-year-old self reading nursery rhymes. Still, why do I have an obsession to the point where my walls and shelves cannot contain the volumes I have? Yes, books open up your world, but my addiction goes beyond this.
Walking through the familiar aisles in search of more titles to tantalize me, it hit me: I read to write. I am an avid reader, but I am first and foremost a writer. I would probably crumble if I did not keep writing. I have always reached for books that are written well. I am thoroughly disappointed in books that do not utilize poetic writing. An author could have the most fascinating plot and characters, but they do not interest me unless the language is juicy. One of my favorite books is God of Small Things by Arundhati Roy. Besides my mild obsession with India, I devoured this book because she managed to take the most exciting words in the English language and put them in never-before-seen combinations. The way she wrote made me look at things differently. In fact, I will never look at orange pop the same again and will probably never drink it…ever. The reason is not because she told me about the abuse one of her main characters suffered in the name of an orange drink. It was because of what she showed me through the senses. She wrote it so well that I now have an association with that event and that drink as if it happened to someone I know. This is the power of good writing. The old writerly advice, "show, don't tell" isn't just there to drive writers crazy. It is there because it will affect the writer to the core, if you are able to master it.
Kim Addonizio, in her book, Ordinary Genius, puts it bluntly when she says, "if you don't read, your writing is going to suck." Books are your best teachers if you want to be a writer. No mentor on the planet can help you write well if you do not read. I am applying this to myself when it comes to poetry. I consider myself a poet, but I am a major slacker when it comes to reading it. I do struggle with re-visioning a poem, so I am taking Kim's advice and reading every poem I can get my hands on. Many times, I hear myself chanting that I wish I could write like them. Eventually, I will. Eventually my poetic voice will override what I have read. However, I will have carried pieces of their mastered voices into my own craft.

Episode Information
This complex web of neurons that controls our thoughts and feelings, our movements and dreams, is better understood by science everyday. Â
But even those who work with the brain on a daily basis express wonder at what it can do...and how little we still understand about it.
Today, Where We Live, we'll talk with leaders in the fields of Neurobiology and Neurosurgery about the brain.
We'll talk with Yale's David McCormick about how the brain delivers information to our bodies...and to Katrina Firlik, whose book Another Day in The Frontal Lobe takes us, inside the skull as she performs life-saving surgeries.
And, we'd like you to join the conversation. What questions do you have about the remarkable human brain?Â
Block photo by Gaetan Lee
A couple more things....
Interestingly his nephew, Aldini, who helped Galvani with the frog leg experiments, sought to demonstrate that this newly discovered animal electricity was relevant to humans. He traveled throughout Europe in the late 1700s re-animating human bodies and faces just after decapitation for their crimes, and demonstrating this publicly. This type of re-animation with electricity eventually led to the invention of the modern day resuscitation through the delivery of shocks to the heart and even inspired Mary Shelley to write "Frankenstein" in the early 1800s - the idea that death was no longer final was fascinating for obvious reasons.
 One topic that we touched on was the development of the cerebral cortex. Although Dr. Rakic mentioned the strong role for development in the determination of the connections and function of the brain, we did not get a chance to mention the very important and critical role that environment and experience plays in further determining and refining these connections. Although the general connectivity and functional architecture of the brain is determined by genetics, it is experience that refines these connections and determines which are saved and which are loss. Perinatal and postnatal experience, all the way through adolescence, is incredibly important in determining the functional connections of the cerebral cortex and how well it will perform for you as an adult. Remember... use it or lose it!

Don't get married in Thailand
Don't get married in Thailand
RE: Don't get married in Thailand
I went to my British consulate in Chiang Mai with a affidavit I typed before hand got it stamped and back same morning. Dropped it off at a wedding boutique in town (Canna Cards) for official translation and certication by Thai authorities in Bangkok.We went back two days later and "Mrs Jit" took us to the amphur and was all donestart to finish within 3 days complete with an English translation of our beautiful Thai Certificate.
Is it that easy in Singapore? No flights,no hotels, No real waiting, except 20 minutes to register. Yes and a lot less than flights even on Silk to Singapore than for even one of us.
So tell me how it is better in Singapore!

RE: RE: Don't get married in Thailand
RE: RE: Don't get married in Thailand
But to get a Settlement Visa in order to be with my husband in Uk is too difficult and become problems more than you realize.
My case is about being abused with documents and the interview by a racist and rude interviewer , so now I am seperated from my husband since we've got marrige for 5 months now but were together for nearly 2 years.
I do belive that one day soon, the British Embassy in BKK will have to be proved for the fairness and prejudice because its staff is ruining its system and credit.
Good Luck to you all.
RE: RE: Don't get married in Thailand
I was aondering if you took your husband to the interview. My wife went to get her visa at the US Embassy, and I went with her. They had met me before as I took her there on several occasions. That day I just sat and waited. The man at the Embassy started being rude to my wife, and I jumped right up and told him his behavior was unacceptable, asked for his name, asked for his supervisor, and told him I'd be calling my senator when I returned to the US. He became very helpful, and we had no problems. I have heard often that the way to avoid the problems with a visa is for your husband to go with you.
RE: RE: Don't get married in Thailand
The embassy give you the reason, or not?
or maybe you have chance for 2nd interview .
I wish you good luck in this time.
RE: Don't get married in Thailand
I am a Swede, and I usually hear that it takes appr. 5 months after the first application to get it. We have waited for 4 months now....... In Sweden a formal marriage is not supposed to change anything on that point, even though my wife (village marriage so far) was told, before the interview in the Swedish Embassy in BKK, that the interview had gone faster and easier if we were formally married. But as she is a reporter she was more used to interviews than the young Swedish guy who interviewed her there so......
The finesse is, that the Thai girls in Sweden (appr. 1000 come every year to their Swedish men) have a very active website at http://www.thailandska.se/ and every Thai girl with internet access can see the exact questions they will get at the interview and be prepared for them......
And also, of course, there is information what documents she must bring to Sweden so we get formally married here. And then the third necessary step in the procedure, some day, will be the marriage party in her home village........

From Ubisoft ... ahem ... tricking us into believing the game would see release in Q1 2010, to a private beta last year, and now the announcement that we'll get a chance to play the game next week, it's been a bit of an emotional roller coaster for us over the last year at Joystiq. Thankfully, Ubi also released five minutes of soothing fan service in video form that we've embedded after the break for you (and for our own well-being).

I'm always a little scared when driving over bridges in cold weather. I hit one of those hidden icy patches once, and it was terrifying. I thought I was going to go right over the side of the bridge!
It makes it even worse that most bridges are on an incline. Who wants to hit ice while driving up a hill? You can slide right back down! I use extreme caution now. Those warning signs are put there for a reason.

It works now.
Maury filed down the bad frets (there were a lot of them) and dressed all of them, tweaked the truss rod and cleaned the fretboard. I installed the new Mastery bridge yesterday and it's a completely different animal now.
I still need to change out the tone control. The stock pot is a 1M value, and that lets way too much treble through when it's wide open. This guitar was originally designed to play surf music, so the icepick treble kinda makes sense, but not for what I want to do. I'll probably drop it down to 250k, which is the standard for single coils.

Enerplus Announces Cash Dividend For October 2012
CALGARY, Sept. 28, 2012 /CNW/ - Enerplus Corporation ("Enerplus") (TSX: ERF) (NYSE: ERF) announces that a cash dividend in the amount of CDN$0.09 per share will be payable on October 19, 2012 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on October 10, 2012. The ex-dividend date for this payment is October 5, 2012.
The CDN$0.09 per share dividend is equivalent to approximately US$0.09 per share if converted using a Canadian/US dollar exchange rate of 1.0190. The U.S. dollar equivalent dividend will be based upon the actual Canadian/US exchange rate applied on the payment date and will be net of any Canadian withholding taxes that may be applicable.
The dividend paid by Enerplus is considered an "eligible dividend" for Canadian tax purposes. For U.S. income tax purposes, Enerplus' dividends are considered "qualified dividends".
Shareholders are reminded that a new Stock Dividend Program ("SDP") is available to all shareholders. The benefits of the SDP include:
- Shareholders can elect to receive dividends paid in Enerplus shares at a 5% discount to an average market price;
- The SDP has certain attributes that make it more attractive than a traditional DRIP to most shareholders who hold their Enerplus shares in taxable accounts;
- No commissions or fees; and
- Optional participation in the SDP, allowing our shareholders to continue to receive cash dividends unless they elect to receive stock dividends.

Williamson Chong Architects founding partner Donald Chong has a long list of go-to products to share, but he can't help but first rave about his hometown of Toronto, where he still lives and works. Visitors looking for great architecture, he says, would be remiss not to include—in addition to Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Toronto-Dominion Centre and Viljo Revell's city hall—the city's array of communities, the Algonquin Island community in the Toronto Islands, and Queen Street West. "There's a commitment to the public realm that you see," Chong says. Residents are aware that "what happens on your particular lot will have an impact across your neighborhood."
Not surprisingly, Chong gravitates to materials and products with which "we can conspire to design something that ultimately leads us to better cities." Wood is a favorite medium for its versatility and resiliency. "It weathers and patinas in a way that reminds us that materials and spaces should only appreciate," he says. His litmus test for good design is simple: "Can it last?" When specifying or designing a furniture piece, for instance, he'll mull over its construction: "If you can build it well, you can make it last." After all, in a pedestrian-friendly city such as Toronto, he says, "it's better to have a good table than a good car."

We've known for some time that Google is working on its own brand of contact lenses designed to measure glucose levels in tears and provide instant feedback about a user's health. A new patent takes this technology one step further, with the latest filing including the option of a microscopic camera built into the contact lens itself.
Essentially, we're talking about an invisible version of Google Glass arriving at some point in the future. Not only could users log their lives like never before, but those with sight defects could be given a means to see the world around them more clearly. According to the documentation submitted by Google, the lens could have a super zoom feature built in.
Applying for a patent doesn't necessarily mean Google has cracked the technology or that we'll be seeing lenses like these appear in the near future. Nevertheless, it offers an interesting insight into the way the tech giant is thinking and an idea of some of the products we might be seeing within the next few years.
The details of the patent, first discovered by 9to5Google, explain how a smart contact lens could be used to warn a blind person that they were approaching a road or intersection. The system could also be used to detect faces and would be able to link wirelessly with a smartphone app, the associated documentation says.
If these Glass-style contact lenses do ever make it to market, Google will have to convince users that they are worth the discomfort and field a whole new flurry of questions about privacy – taking photos with a contact lens is going to make the process less noticeable than ever. "It's still early days for this technology, but we've completed multiple clinical research studies which are helping to refine our prototype," said Google in an earlier blog post announcing its smart contact lens.

Have you ever sent an email containing:
-A Credit Card Number?
-A Social Security Number?
-Confidential Documents Attached?
When you sent these emails, were they encrypted? If your answer is no, or you're not sure, then you may have compromised sensitive information. Most email you send travels a great distance over many networks, secure and unsecure, monitored and unmonitored. These messages pass through and make copies of themselves on servers all over the internet. In short, anyone with access to those servers can read your unencrypted emails.
Would you write your social security number on a post card and send it in the mail? My guess is no, but sending sensitive information in an unencrypted email is just as dangerous.
So what can you do to protect your emails?
If you are mailing a check to pay a bill, you probably enclose the check in a security envelope with crossed lines on the inside to prevent people from viewing its contents. Or, you might even go a step further and send the check via certified mail so that you can track it and get a return receipt.
Luckily, you have similar options for your email. N-Guard Email Encryption has all of the features you need to keep your email secure.
How does it work?
When an email is encrypted, it is "translated" into a code that is unreadable to those who could access it while it is traveling across the internet. When it arrives in the recipient's mailbox, it is retranslated back into readable text.
If you want to give your emails safe travels, sign up for N-Guard Email Encryption. We are sure that you will value this service, and we would like to give you the chance to try it free for a month! After your trial ends, N-Guard Email Encryption will only be $4/month per user.

With your own CD writer, you can make custom CDs of your favorite Linux distribution, crafted for your needs. You can also make CD archives of your favorite FTP site and pass it along to friends to avoid bandwidth problems.
If you are currently looking for a CD-R, get SCSI. SCSI CD-Rs have been around far longer than ATAPI (IDE) CD-Rs and, as a result, are better supported. However, if you do have an ATAPI CD-R or just can't afford SCSI, don't worry—you can still make CDs.
In order to write with a SCSI CD-R, you must have "SCSI support", "SCSI CD-ROM support" and "SCSI generic support" compiled in the kernel. Also be sure you have "ISO9660 cdrom filesystem" support. Having "Loopback device support" compiled in the kernel is a good idea, but not required. For this article, I will assume you know how to build your own kernel; if not, refer to the Kernel-HOWTO (see Resources).
ATAPI CD-Rs require a bit more effort. You must have at least kernel version 2.0.35; anything below this requires patches. Recompile your kernel with "IDE/ATAPI CD-ROM support" disabled and "SCSI Emulation support" enabled. Along with these options, you must also enable those options mentioned above (yes, even the SCSI support). The result is your CD-R will look and act like a SCSI device, even though it is an ATAPI. Your CD-writing software also needs to support ATAPI writing; I will discuss this later. Note that when you use SCSI emulation, all IDE CD-ROMs change to a SCSI prefix, so your first CD-ROM would be /dev/scd0.
CD writing in Linux requires two utilities: mkisofs and cdrecord. The first, mkisofs, is required to make an image of the files you wish to burn. Most major distributions come with this utility, but in any case, getting the latest version would be wise. The latest version can be found at ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/mkisofs/. The second utility, cdrecord, is the software used to burn the image made with mkisofs to a blank CD. You can find cdrecord at metalab.unc.edu/pub/Linux/utils/disk-management, and again, I highly recommend getting the latest version (1.6.1 at the time of this writing). Another utility for burning CDs is cdwrite which can also be found at that URL.
Aside from these, some free and commercial GUI programs for making CDs are also available. X-CD-Roast (see "X-CD-Roast: CD Writer Software" by Thomas Niederreiter, LJ, January 1998) is probably the most famous and is freely available; however, it is based upon the cdwrite utility. There are also X applications which act as a shell and call upon the appropriate utilities to do the job.
Once you have the appropriate utilities installed, you can begin to write your own CDs. Before you begin, collect the files to be burned under one directory. I'm going to use the downloading and burning of a Linux distribution as an example throughout this article. First, let's say you anonymously log in to ftp.some_server.com and switch to the directory /pub/linux. This hypothetical directory contains three different distributions; the list output ls looks like Listing 1.
Assuming distribution_b is the one you want, proceed to download the entire distribution by typing get distribution_b.tar at the ftp prompt. Of course, this directory contains everything you need and nothing else. After all, you wouldn't want to download the distribution for several different architectures. Thus, when you download an entire distribution, make sure you go deep enough into the directory to get only what you need. For example, if you wanted to download the entire Red Hat distribution for the i386 architecture on ftp.cdrom.com, you would download everything in the /pub/linux/redhat/redhat-6.0/i386 directory and below.
Once the download is finished, create a directory for storing the files. In this example, I'll create a directory called cdimage, then place the contents of distribution_b.tar into that directory by executing the following commands:
mkdir cdimage tar vxf distribution_b.tar -C cdimage
Since the verbose (v) option is requested, the contents of distribution_b.tar will fly by on your screen and its contents will be located in cdimage. If everything went well, you can now delete distribution_b.tar to save space.
If you want to burn some collection of files other than a Linux distribution, just place them in the cdimage directory.
As Linux continues to play an ever increasing role in corporate data centers and institutions, ensuring the integrity and protection of these systems must be a priority. With 60% of the world's websites and an increasing share of organization's mission-critical workloads running on Linux, failing to stop malware and other advanced threats on Linux can increasingly impact an organization's reputation and bottom line.

Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to "bare metal." After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

Human colorectal cancers (CRCs) display a large number of genetic and epigenetic alterations, some of which are causally involved in tumorigenesis (drivers) and others that have little functional impact (passengers). To help distinguish between these two classes of alterations, we used a transposon-based genetic screen in mice to identify candidate genes for CRC. Mice harboring mutagenic Sleeping Beauty (SB) transposons were crossed with mice expressing SB transposase in gastrointestinal tract epithelium. Most of the offspring developed intestinal lesions, including intraepithelial neoplasia, adenomas, and adenocarcinomas. Analysis of over 16,000 transposon insertions identified 77 candidate CRC genes, 60 of which are mutated and/or dysregulated in human CRC and thus are most likely to drive tumorigenesis. These genes include APC, PTEN, and SMAD4. The screen also identified 17 candidate genes that had not previously been implicated in CRC, including POLI, PTPRK, and RSPO2.

Pardon me if I'm daffy with silly pills, but, with these top 100 starters for 2015 fantasy baseball, I've put out all of my 2015 fantasy baseball rankings. Hahahahaha… Breathe, Grey, breathe! Whew, almost lost it there for a second. Tomorrow will be the top 100 overall, then the top 400 overall, but that's just putting everyone in perspective. I'm going to now soak my finger bunions in pickle juice and read a good book. Anyone read the Teri Garr autobiography? I hear it's a real eye grabber. Oh, guess I should finish this post first. As always, my projections are included and where tiers start and stop. Anyway, here's the top 100 starters for 2015 fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Jhoulys Chacin
Manny Machado's epitaph: He always found more success throwing a bat at a ball. Better than Salvador Perez's: Together again! Machado wasn't just struggling, he was like that friend of yours that not only is having a rotten time at a party, but also sucks the prettiest girls in the room into his sad funk of despair and before long, the girls are like, "I don't want to go out and get drunk and party and potentially hook up with you. Your friend Manny Machado is too depressed." The buzz kill friend. Yesterday, Machado went 5-for-6, 2 runs, 2 RBIs with his 8th homer, and fourth homer in his last seven games (skipping the suspension games). About time he listened to your advice, did a body shot off the tummy of the girl that wants to be a physical therapist and cheered up! I don't own Machado anywhere this year, due to the knee issue coming into the season, but he just turned 22 years old (almost literally; his birthday was Sunday) and I'll be all over Machado again next year. Of course, if you can acquire him in a trade this year, by all means, which sounds like it was said by Malcolm X's less militant brother, Bobby X. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?What's the mood, doode? How ya' feelin'? Why is it all real G's drop their G's on their gerunds? G-dropping as non-G's call it. That keeps me up at night. Failing to rank at first Tyson Ross in my top 100 starters doesn't. It was a mistake on my part, and I corrected it before we got out of February. I ranked him. Snafu less afu'd than it could've been. I still probably didn't rank him high enough. They have no award for that. Trophies, trophies. This is like Gangsta Deep Thoughts on Def Poetry Jam. Stop me from going up like a crescendo. This is not a love song. This is "What Tyson Ross has done so far this year" song. That is not as catchy. They don't play that on KDay. His ERA is at 2.93 after a complete game shutout where he struck out 9 and only allowed 3 baserunners. His K-rate is 8.6, walk rate is 3.2 and xFIP is 3.16. Clap, pause for a sip of Olde E, clap. I paused for a sip of the brew on his walk rate, if you're uptake is slow. His away ERA is 4.18. Well, you had me convinced you were more than a Hodgepadre there for a moment. Nice trick, Copperfield. Ross is owned in 51% of ESPN leagues, which is stoopid, but since I only own 12,000 ESPN teams to collect some software. Virtual trophies, virtual trophies. I can only do so much. Yes, he should be owned, but he's a lot safer in Petco. No dur. And I bow. And I just hit my head on my desk. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Wanna really mess with your brain? Think about how you could have the same thing as Guy Pearce in Memento and you would never know. Okay, don't think about it too long, it'll mess with your brain too much and then I'm gonna get sued by your loved ones. "Judge, Grey Albright, Fantasy Master Lothario (don't abbreviate it), told my darling boy, Josh, to think about how he could have a brain dysfunction and now I have to change his diaper and order in for Chinese food every fifteen minutes because he keeps forgetting he just ate." That's your momma in front of the judge, suing me. Steve Pearce is a thirty-one-year-old journeyman. That's not a cartographer, that's a guy who isn't very good and just travels around offering his services for all-you-can-drink Gatorade. Yes, he hit two homers yesterday and has hit 9 homers in just two months while batting .336. This isn't a matter of "Maybe he's breaking out now." No, there's no breaking out for Steve Pearce. He doesn't even sound right if you don't say his full name. There's no Steve and no Pearce. There's only Steve Pearce and he's the hottest schmotato in the land and is worth picking up while he's swinging a hot bat, but I wouldn't expect it to last that long. Anyway, here's what else I saw yesterday in fantasy baseball:
Please, blog, may I have some more?As always, probable pitchers are subject to change. For a look at all fantasy baseball streamers, click that link.
Everyone got all excited last Wednesday because Bartolo Colon hit a double in a game that he also won. Obviously, this was worthy of some attention given the fact that Colon is 41, bears a close resemblance to "Big P*ssy" Bonpensiero, and the fact that he twirled eight innings of one-run ball en route to the victory in St. Louis, which is not an easy place to pitch. Lost in all of that was the fact that Terry Collins took Colon out heading into the 9th at only 86 pitches. Unless Colon asked to come out because his mummy arm was falling off, I just don't get it. It's another one of those robot moves that make baseball managers so infuriating. Oh, it's the 9th inning and we have a lead of three runs or less, time to bring in the closer. Nevermind that we don't really have a closer, and that the closer of the night is Jenrry Mejia, whose birth certificate was typed up by someone who liked to eat peanut butter at their desk. Nevermind that the backup plan for that is a guy (Dana Eveland) who has a different hat on in his fantasy baseball profile photo. Well, Mejia almost blew it, which would have not only cost the 700-year-old Colon a well-deserved victory but would have also pissed off fantasy managers everywhere, including right here. Except for a few turdlet pies, Colon has been surprisingly sturdy in 2014. Maybe it's not so surprising given his strong performance in the telling strikeout per walk category, where he's at 5.3, good for sixth right behind Stephen Strasburg. It would have looked really silly, but I almost put Bartolo in the first tier, with starts in his cavernous home against Oakland and continues in Pittsburgh, where teams just don't score a lot for some reason. He's only 36 percent owned in Yahoo, 37 percent owned in ESPN. He's definitely worth a spin while he's going good, especially at Citi Field.
Here's some more two-start pitchers for the week:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Daily fantasy brings a whole new dimension to the we look at fantasy players. We're getting used to streaming pitchers which has become a great strategy being implemented over the last few years, but daily fantasy takes it to a whole new level. You don't have to drop anyone to pick up the man of the hour, knowing that his long-term value will be equivalent to Lenny Dykstra's business ventures.
If you get off watching a pitcher dominate like I do, then you'll appreciate the pornutopia of starters going today. Masa-Hero, Darvish, Greinke, Cueto, Scherzer, and Wacha are all on cam today. If I gotta pick two, I'm taking Cueto and Tanaka. Darvish has been lit up by the A's, almost to the extent I want to stack against him today. Greinke and Wacha have been a bit shaky lately and, besides his last start, so has Scherzer and the Royals bats are about as hot as it gets in baseball right now. I'm rolling the dice on Roenis Elias today. He's had some rough ones lately as well, but he's also had some dominant outings including a complete game shutout with 8 Ks against the Tigers just ten days ago. And the K's seem real as he boasts nearly 8 K/9 this year. He also has the most tasty matchup on the slate today facing the Padres who get nothing right against lefties as they mutter a .598 OPS against them this year which is marginally crappier than anyone other squad. A price tag of $8,000 climaxes the excitement with dough to blow on some other nice pieces.
Hopefully, you've been playing along with us at Draftkings so far this year. If not, c'mon and join us cuz we've been having daily leagues for the last two weeks thanks to the zealous @RalphLifshitzbb who's been heading it up. We aren't wagering huge, but just making sure to have some fun with $1 on the line each day. Come on and hang out and test your mettle with us. Here's a link to our fun little cash game today. The Razzball community only gains strength as we reach out to more avenues. If you haven't signed up yet use this link cuz you'll get a free contest to start building your stack. Here's a few more highlights of today's DFS best offerings:
Please, blog, may I have some more?Frenemies and cohorts, it is that magical time of year where the player pool begins to grow. Summer harvest begins to reap the treasures of the seeds sown by unheralded draft pundits of years passed. The scout's moment is now. Having spent their lives adorned with holey New Balances, wholly unrefined frozen dinners of Salisbury steak and discount diner breakfasts, they get to pound an Old Milwaukee and puff a few Doral's as they revel in the glory of their hatred of sabremetrics. A life not fancied by us fantasy internet blogger moguls. No sirs and madams, we require a much fancier life—a life infused with excitement brought on by WHIPs and FIPs and wOBAs and WARs! The rest is mas o menos lo mismo— the same old shizz. Other than our baseball lens, the only other difference is that we stuttering B-Ball Bloggers need to score!!! Points…
Points is why we're here, and June presents a unique opportunity where the player pool expands with talent that is usable and keepable. September offers a smorgasbord of young talent, but mostly it's too late and the infusion of players nourish your team like an energy drink shooter with cinnamon whiskey. The hangover is awful and often begins before the luster of the buzz has worn off. The June callups are the cognacs, ladies men. Let's take a look at these beauties.
Please, blog, may I have some more?As always, probable pitchers are subject to change. For a look at all fantasy baseball streamers, click this link.
The story of Edinson Volquez and Johnny Cueto is the Tale of Two Reds.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times to have Dusty Baker as a manager. It was the age of the possibility, with two pitchers on the same team going after the Cy Young every year. It was the age of those two hurlers sharing an apartment and duking it out on PlayStation. It was the epoch of mid-90s fastballs, it was the epoch of a Cincinnati team that never made it, it was the season of 2008… It was the season of throwing way too many pitches, but it was the spring of hope …
Please, blog, may I have some more?I know I've had some requests for more fun pitchers, but Dillon Gee was a guy I ranked high and a guy I kept high. And very early on "I tried to figure out why… I had him so high!", but lately dude has been tossin' gas!
The very under-appreciated Gee ended 2013 on a tear, pitching with a 2.41 ERA from May 30 to September 15 – with 100 Ks in 137.1 IP in 20 starts. So ridiculously under the radar that Lord Helmet must've jammed it!
As a non-Mets fan and non-Gee owner in any leagues at the current present, I haven't buckled down to watch any of his starts as of late. And with three scoreless outings out of his past four – giving up two runs total in those four – I decided to break down his start yesterday at the Rockies and if Gee should be owned in a lot more than 38% of leagues:
Please, blog, may I have some more?On Saturday, Jon Lester threw a gem: 8 IP, 0 ER, 3 baserunners, 15 Ks. Such a gem that if that were a blood diamond, diplomats from Monrovia would be lined up in the streets of Liberia for a taste of that. If that were an emerald, friends of Dorothy would stand outside of Ricky Martin's hotel for weeks just for the chance he forgoes the hotel buffet and wants to eat out. If that were a ruby, it would stand outside a Dallas police station to cover any possible conspiracies and add fuel to other conspiracies. Lester has pitched spectacularly so far, and it's not a product of luck. His 10.7 K/9 and 1.8 BB/9 are elite. Those are fantasy ace numbers. His fastball doesn't have renewed life, if anything he's lost something on it. What appears to be the biggest difference is he's almost completely abandoned his changeup and throwing his cutter a bit more. Since he's always been good for 200 innings and has had huge success before, I'm willing to say he will hold the improvements to his rates and be an extremely reliable starter. Likely in the top 15 for the year. Yeah, he looks damn good. I want some, purdy puhlease. Anyway, here's what else I saw this weekend in fantasy baseball:

Blood Clot in the Legs (cont.) IN THIS ARTICLE
Deep Vein Thrombosis SurgerySurgery is a rare option in treating large deep venous thrombosis of the leg in patients who cannot take blood thinners or who have developed recurrent blood clots while on anticoagulant medications. The surgery is usually accompanied by placing an IVC (inferior vena cava) filter to prevent future clots from embolizing to the lung. Phlegmasia cerulea dolens describes a situation in which a blood clot forms in the iliac vein of the pelvis and the femoral vein of the leg, obstructing almost all blood return and compromising blood supply to the leg. In this case surgery may be considered to remove the clot, but the patient will also require anticoagulant medications. Medically Reviewed by a Doctor on 3/17/2014

However, our team owner (NazNoz) and the rest of the management of nexus gaming recognizes that there is a direction in competitive gaming (where the $ is going) that is not going to be shifting course any time soon, and it is something that we are going to be getting involved with. Games such as league of Legends and DOTA (MOBA's) are taking over the gaming market, and our organization (being an FPS team) is being left behind as this advancement occurs. With that in mind, we are looking to PURCHASE a top tier team, in one of those games, to achieve the sponsorship's and expose that are being drawn to those markets. However, within our organization there are a pair of us who were members of the BF3 team that are looking to build our own team for LoL and to hopefully over time break out as a top tier team in the MOBA world. We have the resources, and the competitive knowledge to achieve this however we lack 3 additional players to complete our team... Our team is currently comprised of myself, and Zwieop, both of which are flexible as far as positions go (he will be one of the carries), and we are looking to acquire three more players that share our competitive drive to build this team from the ground up as one of the premier organizations in LoL. What I lack in LoL experience (I am an FPS purist who is converting to MOBA's), Zwieop Makes up for 10 fold, he is a talented player who can play any position (aside from support - i think hes a lazy ******* ) and together we are looking for talented and determined LoL players to help us achieve this goal... For those interested please respond to this EMAIL with the questions completed, and if what we see is to our liking, we will send a response for a friendly game, and Mumble interview. We will NOT BE COMPETING IN THIS SEASON, but we will be practicing daily for the upcoming seasons...
