Team play is encouraged, never forced in Battlefield 4Lead multiplayer designer Thomas Andersson took to the Battlefield 4 blog and detailed what one of his main goals were when creating the game's multiplayer mode. "We want to build upon what makes Battlefield 3 great, and one of the areas where Battlefield shines is team play," Thomas said. "The way we're going about it in Battlefield 4 is to highly encourage team play – but never force it. We want to promote team play by creating great gameplay mechanics such as Field Upgrades, Commander Mode, and a new range of gadgets specifically designed to expand co-operation in the field. We have drastically expanded on the tools and benefits of efficient team play, and as a result we feel Battlefield 4's multiplayer experience is the deepest, most rewarding, and fun experience in the series." Thomas then details Field Upgrades, which are chained boosts that can affect a number of gameplay mechanics. Basically, it's a way to give individual rewards for squad based team work.

So Bad, It's Good! is a guide to finding the best films for your bad movie night. Read more
So Bad, It's Good! is a guide to finding the best films for your bad movie night.
About this project
Update: Added information at the bottom that explains how additional funds would likely be spent.
We've reached the goal - thanks everyone! Additional pledges are still more than welcome, as they'll serve to improve the quality of the book. With that in mind, I'll be setting up stretch goals with some little bonuses to keep things fun.
Current stretch goals include:
$2,500: Every physical copy of the book sent to a backer will include a So Bad, It's Good! bookmark!
$3,000: All backers who pledged $9 or more will receive a hand-written thank you note on a special So Bad, It's Good! postcard.
Hello, and welcome! Thanks for taking a look at my project page.
Since the dawn of time, man has tried to classify movies into two categories: good and bad. Good movies were praised with awards and glowing reviews, while bad films were dismissed, never to be viewed again. It was a simple system for a simpler age.
But in recent years, a few rouge moviegoers have challenged this traditional view of movie classification by adding a third category to the mix. These individuals have discovered that there are good films...there are bad films...and then there are those select few movies that are so bad, they're good.
So Bad, It's Good!
So Bad, It's Good! is a book that looks at those movies that transcend their own terribleness and become glorious works of art. A few of these films are well known to movie buffs. Ed Wood's Plan Nine from Outer Space is the classic example of a terrible movie that has become a cult favorite. More recently, Tommy Wiseau's The Room has been called "the Citizen Kane of bad movies."
However, these films are just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to deliciously bad movies. There are dozens, even hundreds of films that are objectively poor in quality, but which are a joy to laugh at (and with). These movies often feature poor production values, terrible writing, and awful performances...and yet, those traits combine to make them even more enjoyable to watch.
Of course, this doesn't mean that all poor films are fun to sit through. A lot of films are simply so bad, they're bad! It takes a special something for an otherwise bad movie to become unintentionally hilarious.
That's where So Bad, It's Good! comes in. It's a guide to finding great films for your bad movie night -- the kinds of movies that will have you and your friends laughing out loud rather than begging for mercy. Well, sometimes you might have to do both...but that comes with the territory.
So Bad, It's Good! will profile more than 50 films, enough to keep any bad movie aficionado satisfied. You'll learn background information about each film, be alerted to key things you'll want to look for when watching, and get a sense of what each movie is all about - without any spoilers that might ruin the best moments. The book also features a foreword from Allison Pregler, who you might know better as Obscurus Lupa from That Guy with the Glasses. Allison will also be writing an exclusive bonus chapter that will only be available as a reward for helping to fund this project!
I'm currently in the process of writing So Bad, It's Good!, and I expect the main body of the work to be completed in August. The goal is to have the paperback version of the book to be available for purchase by November at the latest.
If you want a better idea of what this book is all about, check out a Birdemic preview!
Why Write About Bad Movies?
Like many bad movie fans, my love for terrible cinema was sparked at least in part by Mystery Science Theater 3000. The show was ostensibly about a man who was trapped on a satellite and forced to endure bad movies as experiments for a mad scientist. The main portion of the show, though, involved having that man and two robot companions watch those terrible movies. Throughout the film, the trio would make jokes (or riffs) about what they were watching, making the otherwise unwatchable films entertaining through their hilarious commentary.
MST3K would go off the air, but my love for bad movies remained. I can recall the night in college when my roommates and I watched Ninja 3: The Domination and then taped a 3 am showing of Gymkata based only on the rumor that it was both terrible and hilarious. We were not disappointed. Watching those and other movies gave us countless hours of entertainment.
Today, there are more ways than ever to enjoy the best in bad movies anytime you like. The spirit of MST3K lives on through projects like RiffTrax and Cinematic Titanic, while numerous online movie reviewers are uncovering and sharing more delightfully awful films every day. The kinds of movies in So Bad, It's Good! are becoming an important part of our cinematic culture: a little slice of the film world that deserves recognition.
What's All the Money For?
I could simply publish So Bad, It's Good! as an e-book. But I'd rather give this book the full paperback publication that I believe it deserves, and that will take some money.
If I reach the $1,500 goal, that will be enough to publish So Bad, It's Good! at a reasonable level of quality. If we can exceed that goal, the excess funds will go into improving the production quality of the paperback version of the book, hiring an editor to ensure the content is as polished as possible, and promotional efforts. In short, funding this book will mean that more people will get the opportunity to discover some laughably bad films - a goal I think we can all get behind.
Let's talk a little more about what reaching different funding levels will mean for the project. While it would be nice if were as simple as looking at the big number on the Kickstarter page and saying that much money could go into the book, this is not the case.
Off the top of that figure, you can take away about 10% (perhaps slightly less) for fees taken by Kickstarter and for payment processing. After that, the cost of providing rewards for backers must also be taken into consideration. That cost will vary, of course, but I can come up with at least a reasonable estimate to use for this example.
At the time of this writing, $1,920 has been pledged to the project. Factoring in both the fees and the likelihood that least one or two payments may not go through, that leaves the book with about $1,700 to work with. Factor in the cost of sending out rewards, and I'm probably looking at a starting budget of approximately $1,200.
From that budget, about $600 will go to putting together the book itself: having a lovely and unique cover made, as well as choosing an interior design. The other $600 would likely be spent to have the book go through a round of professional editing before it is released.
That's great, of course, and enough to make for a book you'll hopefully all love! So, what happens if I can reach a higher level of funding? Well, let's assume that I can use about two-thirds of the funds collected on the book itself (that's about the ratio I expect to use, even if it means kicking in a little of my own money to help out).
If we reach $2,500, that would give me about another $400 to use above and beyond what I mentioned above. That's enough to create a custom interior design for the book, make sure the book gets a professional Kindle conversion, and have more extensive editing done. Reaching $3,000 would be enough to get some nifty special marketing freebies like custom-made postcards and bookmarks, as well as get some marketing help, such as the creation of promotional text for the book to aid in marketing. Additional funds would then open up even more marketing opportunities.

So that's what I'm doing right now, I just worked yesterday. It's a whole new demographic, I have my reasons for everything that I do.

Tenth Avenue North - Hold My Heart - Inspirational Videos

Yeah, lots of people have made videos for this wonderful song. I thought I'd take a crack at it. My favorite line in the song is "Your promises remain". That's so comforting. We need to keep that in mind when we are going through trials, because no matter what befalls us, we can always cling to that truth, "Your promises remain". God is faithful. His promises will never be broken. And He has promised to hold our heart, and He always will, if we simply reach out to Him. Thank You, Lord.

The HR manager gives you standard behavioral questions straight from a text book. The hiring manager gives you the details of the job and questions your experience and capabilities. A second interview is scheduled if you are considered. This time you meet with the SVP of your department. He/she is trying to see how you are as a person. They want to know if you will be a good fit. Finally, the HR manager will contact you with the offer. They will lowball you so you will have to negotiate.

Just adding to the pain
Accused killer's claims tormenting families of missing, slain women
Accused serial killer Shawn Lamb is tormenting the families of Manitoba's slain and missing women by claiming to have information that would help solve at least five of their cases. He says police aren't taking him seriously and he's threatening to call the families personally.
Winnipeg police are taking Lamb seriously enough to have him locked up for the slayings of Tanya Nepinak, Carolyn Sinclair and Lorna Blacksmith. And, despite what a man with a three-decade-long rap sheet says, they're closely examining his latest set of allegations.
Bernadette Smith, the sister of missing woman Claudette Osborne, says officers from the Project Devote task force called her Monday to give her a head's up Lamb was claiming to have valuable information. She says her family isn't holding its breath he's telling the truth.
"We're just kind of waiting it out. We know he's kind of an attention-seeker," Smith says. "He says he wants to give these families closure. Why grow a conscience now? I just think he's talking out his ass."
She says police assured her they were taking Lamb's claims seriously and looking into them.
Kyle Kematch, brother of missing woman Amber Guiboche, is frustrated with Lamb's apparent confessions and retractions to the media.
"It's honestly f -- up," says Kematch. "Is he saying this to cause more pain? It's getting me angry. I don't understand what we've done to deserve this."
Joyce Nepinak, the mother of Tanya Nepinak, says her family is shocked by the twist.
"We don't know what to think. Whether he's lying or not, you have to get to the bottom of it. If it happens to be true, moms can get some closure. We need that. I don't even know where my daughter is."
Gail Nepinak, Tanya's sister, says Lamb is "playing mind games."
"He's heartless. He's torturing us," she says. "He just wants publicity. He just wants the attention."
Community activist Chickadee Richard says it's possible Lamb does have more information to offer.
She believes he didn't act alone in the killings of Nepinak, Sinclair and Blacksmith. She thinks others in the community are preying on aboriginal people and there may be more than one serial killer.
"The families know that Shawn Lamb, he has no moral conscience. He says he wants to connect with the families. Why's he doing this? What's he after?"
Richard says the large number of missing and slain women speak to how aboriginal women are viewed.
"There's racism here. It's like these women don't matter."
Shawn Lamb seems a little short in the attributes column. He's been convicted of assaulting police officers, uttering threats, robbery, carrying weapons, forgery, possessing stolen property, break-and-enter and breaching numerous court orders. In May 2010, he pleaded guilty to 15 more crimes, increasing his total to 99 during a three-decade span.
He got 19 months in jail, in addition to nearly 14 months of time already served, plus three years of supervised probation. His crimes, according to a story by Free Press reporter Mike McIntyre, included mugging a young mother of her purse, threatening to stab another man for his beer, stealing a car and passing numerous bad cheques.
He was serving a conditional sentence at the time for a similar robbery in which he attacked a young mother for her bank card, flipping over a stroller carrying the victim's baby in the process.
He was arrested for the murders of the three women in June 2012.
Winnipeg police believe Lamb is a highly intelligent manipulator. He's cunning and he's likely bored silly sitting in jail. He says he has film and keepsakes to back up his latest claims. He's got the police hopping and shattered families hoping for resolution.
Our police aren't ignoring him. They can't. After the debacle in the case of B.C. serial killer Robert Pickton, no law-enforcement team would risk slacking off and miss the chance to solve these killings.
Project Devote has to take every tip seriously, even if the source is an accused serial killer who may be acting out of spite or tedium.

About Lindor Reynolds
National Newspaper Award winner Lindor Reynolds began work at the Free Press as a 17-year-old proofreader. It was a rough introduction to the news business.
Many years later, armed with a university education and a portfolio of published work, she was hired as a Free Press columnist. During her 20-plus years on the job she wrote for every section in the paper, with the exception of Business -- though she joked she'd get around to them some day.
Sadly, that day will never come. Lindor died in October 2014 after a 15-month battle with brain cancer.
Lindor received considerable recognition for her writing. Her awards include the Will Rogers Humanitarian Award, the National Society of Newspaper Columnists' general interest award and the North American Travel Journalists Association top prize.
Her work on Internet luring led to an amendment to the Criminal Code of Canada and her coverage of the child welfare system prompted a change to Manitoba Child and Family Services Act to make the safety of children paramount.
She earned three citations of merit for the Michener Award for Meritorious Public Service in Journalism and was awarded a Distinguished Alumni commendation from the University of Winnipeg. Lindor was also named a YMCA/YWCA Woman of Distinction.
Reynolds was 56. She is survived by a husband, mother, a daughter and son-in-law and three stepdaughters.
The Free Press has published an ebook celebrating the best of Lindor's work. It's available in the Winnipeg Free Press Store; all proceeds will be donated through our Miracle on Mountain charity to the Christmas Cheer Board.

5 Bullish Stocks to Buy on the Next Dip
For those who allow emotions to influence investment decisions, it may feel like the market is actually built for the sole purpose of ruining their financial lives.
For some reference, be sure to read my last
(T - Get Report) article
The thing that people generally learn the hard way is that for longer-term investments, buying the dip usually makes a lot more sense. We all know stocks don't travel straight up or straight down, but what many don't know is that after three down days a stock tends to reverse for the next week.
If you buy that "hot" stock after three up days, you have put the odds against you, and this is a game about finding a positive expectation.
Spin the scenario around and buy an uptrending bullish stock after three down days and you now have put the odds in your favor and earned a positive edge. Even better than three is waiting for five days, but three is statistically close enough for most and the simplicity outweighs the benefit for most people. Does it work every time? Of course not. We are working with edges that amount to small percentages. But in a land of "no free lunches," why not take what we can get? Here are five bullish trend stocks worth examining and waiting for the dip. Avoid chasing, and look to enter after at least three down days. I have written about many of them as a result of following their moves closely.

Tennessee Titans, Def, Titans
Position/Rank | ADP | NFL Team | Status |
Def - #29 | TEN | Active |
2014 Outlook:
Last updated on Jul-11-2014 by Jeb GorhamThe Tennessee defense has no real place to go but up. The big change this season will be Ken Whisenhunt's move from a 4-3 defense to a 3-4 scheme. The 3-4 places greater responsibility on the nose tackle and outside linebacker positions. If Sammie Lee Hill, Al Woods, Akeem Ayers, Derrick Morgan and Shaun Phillips can boost their roles, the 3-4 might help with the team's defensive woes. While in this transitional stage, the Titans could struggle. They have almost no fantasy appeal right now as most teams need a year or two to gel into a new scheme.

Forum List » Value Ideas and Strategies Share and discuss value investing ideas and investing strategies. New Drilling Techniques for Changing Production Preferences
Posted by: Vanina Egea
(IP Logged)
Date: November 4, 2013 11:36AM
Current political instability in the Middle East made other geographies more attractive to oil & gas companies. Also, during the last decade, the introduction of new technologies provided the medium to tap reserves that were once seen as unreachable. Now, the eyes of exploration and production companies have turned towards the Mexican Gulf, Brazilian sea front, and North Atlantic. These regions however, continue to present weather, depth, and other unknown challenges reflected upon the Deepwater Horizon incident. Two companies trying to face and solve the new obstacles to the recovering of unconventional reserves are Noble Switzerland (NE) and Patterson-UTI Energy (PTEN). World oil tendencies feed prospects Noble Switzerland performs contract drilling services with a fleet of 76 mobile offshore drilling units, and is currently constructing an additional 10 oil rigs. Customers are almost equally divided between private companies and national government, and operations have spread to all oil producing geographies. Lately, management has focused on improving operational efficiency to boost revenues, having a visible positive impact over last quarter´s earnings. Issues concerning operational downtime however, continue and are sufficient reason to raise some alarms. The first challenge to Noble Switzerland ´s performance remains operational challenge. So far, it has improved quarter-over-quarter supported by flat operating costs, fewer shipyard days, and improved drilling margins. The increment of deepwater exploration has also raised the demand for jackups and floaters, which is expected to at least remain at current levels. But the most important challenge awaiting the firm is an expected unbalance between supply and demand of oil rigs. Hence, construction of new rigs should be quick in order to locate them before the market is saturated. A strong growth driver for Noble Switzerland is a strong backlog, estimated to have reached $16.2 billion in the back of a preference for deepwater drilling. The company has also seen been able to raise day rates for semisubmersibles, and two drillships will be delivered next year, meaning an additional $693 million per rig in revenues from the Mexican Gulf region. The other regions have seen a rise on demand for jackups, and the Noble Scott Marks and Noble Roger Lewis jackups secured three year contracts at a day rate of $257,500 in the North Sea, West Africa and in the Middle East region. Financially, Noble Switzerland is moderate due to recent capital investments and rising debt. However, margins remain strong and revenues continue to improve year-over-ear. Trading at 16.9 times its trailing earnings, the stock carries a 10% premium to the industry average. Curiously, Richard Perry bought stock from the company and turned into the largest guru holding a position with one transaction. James Barrow also made an important acquisition. I share the feeling as the company continues adjust and improve performance in the back of a positive environment. Dependent on the North American gas industry Patterson-UTI Energy, in opposition to Noble Switzerland, is an onshore drilling company and international exposure is considerably smaller. Even though the firm has not been able absorb synergies associated with rising deepwater drilling, growth has been driven by growing premium land rig fleet and the expected demand uptick for such services. The firm has spread activities in the back of the North American gas boom, and presence has limited to the US and Canada. Given that drilling services account for almost 70% percent operating income, and the volatility of the natural gas fundamentals forward growth is questioned. Two important characteristics of Patterson-UTI Energy are the technologically-advanced Apex rigs and continued investment to improve current technology. Today, the company is the second largest drilling contractor in the US with a reputation for fast moving, fast drilling, and safer rigs than the competition. Technologically advance drills with an irreproachable reputation are factors capable of offsetting the volatility that characterizes the gas industry in North America. Recently, Patterson-UTI Energy has retired about 35 drilling rigs. This had a double positive impact on the company. First, the move is expected to somewhat balance a market experiencing overcapacity. Second, it reinforces the company's reputation for safe operation. Hence, the $1 billion investment on new drilling rigs and technology improvement is all the more important for future performance, as the firm risks losing customers if rigs are not quickly replaced. The balance sheet for Patterson-UTI Energy is strong and the stock currently trades at the industry average of 15.3 times its trailing earnings. Richard Snow, the largest guru holding a position, has slightly reduced his stake to cut some profits. But Irving Khan continues to increase his stake, while Jim Simmons turned into the third largest guru holding a stake with a single purchase. I share their optimism, but hold doubts concerning the future of the gas industry in North America. Oil & gas and international exposure I prefer Noble Switzerland to Patterson-UTI Energy because of its international presence. Also, changing market preferences have worked in the favor of the firm. Its products are at the technological frontier and development has not seized. Last, future prospects easily offset the small price premium that the stock currently carries.

Abu Dhabi: Defending champions National Drilling Company (NDC) retained their football crown in the Dh14 million Armed Forces Officers Club's 12th Open Sports Festival, which finished on Wednesday night with a fantastic display of fireworks.

NDC successfully defend title
Defending champions National Drilling Company (NDC) retained their football crown in the Dh14 million Armed Forces Officers Club's 12th Open Sports Festival, which finished on Wednesday night with a fantastic display of fireworks.
- Image Credit: Ahmed Kutty/Gulf News
- National Drilling Company celebrate victory in the football tournament during the 12th Armed Force Officers Club's 12th Open Sports Festival. They beat Al Nuaimi Group 4-0.
NDC scored a 4-0 win over Al Nuaimi Group who had a player sent off early in the game.
Much was expected from the final of the seven-a-side competition, but Al Nuaimi team was always up against it after Izzedine Sharif was shown the red card.
Within five minutes of the start, Sharif's rough play had earned him a yellow card.
NDC followed this by taking the lead when Rifat Abdul Hamid scored off Mohammad Saeed.
Soon after the goal, Sharif was again penalised for a bad tackle and he got his second yellow.
A goal and a man down, Al Nuaimi were soon punished further when Mahmoud Ahmad beat Hussain Diab off a Waleed Samir pass.
Finishing touch
The final petered out into a listless affair after the tournament's top scorer Mohammad Saeed put the finishing touch to a move from Rifaat and Waleed Abdul Aziz.
Saeed capped a great tournament with his 34th goal and NDC cruised home to a 4-0 win.
Wael Abdul Aziz impressed with his tackling and forays further but having one-man less proved too much for Al Nuaimi.
NDC collected Dhs 350,000 for winning the football title and the team announced that Dhs 50,000 would be given to the Zayed Higher Organisation for Humanitarian Care, Special Needs and Minors Affairs and Takatof.
However the lack of fireworks in the final was more than made up for by the impressive display in the sky.
Abdul Rahman Mohammad Al Owais, Minister of Culture, and Major General Mohammad Hilal Al Ka'abi, AFOC Board Chairman and President of the Higher Organising Committee of the sports festival, attended the prize giving ceremony along with other senior AFOC officials.
Major General Al Ka'abi said the Armed Forces Officers Club would modernise it's state-of-the-art facilities as the UAE prepares for other sports events, including the Fifa Confederations Cup in 2009.
Highlighting the details of the club's development programme, Al Ka'abi said it would include facilities for marine sports like wharfs for parking speedboats, water cycles.
There would also be space for beach football and volleyball in an attempt to make the club into a world class resort that would take advantage of it's location.
He added the expansion program also included a 5,000 capacity hall in view of Abu Dhabi's need for places to hold various social ceremonies.
The plan was also to build a 15,000 capacity in-door sports facility that would meet Olympic standards.
It would be used for sports such as five-side football, basketball, volleyball, handball, table tennis, lawn tennis, billiard, snooker, gymnastics and jiu jitsu.

"Manly - A Fantastic Sydney Holiday Location" Manly by Mikebb
Manly Travel Guide: 240 reviews and 562 photos
Located 11km from the centre of Sydney, Manly is one of the city's best beach suburbs and an ideal location whilst holidaying or living in Sydney. The beach is world famous, the surf very good , plenty of holiday accommodation to suit all budgets, restaurants, cafes, pubs, entertainment and shops are all within walking distance.
The advantage Manly has over other beaches is that less than 10 minutes walk will bring you to the quiet waters of Sydney Harbour with its many beautiful bays, some of which you can easily walk along the waters edge. During our 4 day stay I would enjoy an early morning walk around the nearby bays, watch the sun come up over the water.
The Manly Ferry service will quickly get you to the city, the cat ferry takes 15 minutes, however we prefer the old ferry which takes approximately 30 minutes and gives you a fantastic view of Sydney Harbour, The Bridge and the Sydney Opera House.
Having lived in Sydney's northern suburbs for my first 27 years I had visited Manly numerous times and now returned for 4 days after 34 years living in Perth, Western Australia. I had been to Sydney many times over the years, mostly on business, sometimes on holidays and always stayed in the city or nearby. This time we chose Manly for its holiday atmosphere and to escape the rush of the city, our choice was well rewarded and I can say we enjoyed all the city could provide but also gained an excellent seaside break.
For those who like the cafe and pub scene you will find it all here. The Manly Wharf Hotel and Restaurant is the hot spot with its outdoor bar over the water, sun, magnificent views and good company. For those who like to travel up the coast a pleasant hour drive to Newport and Palm Beach is a must, and possibly extend it into the Ku-Ringai National Park.

"A Mighty Wind" Top 5 Page for this destination Yamba by Favzoz
Yamba Travel Guide: 50 reviews and 86 photos
I went to Yamba because I went to see Russell Crowe. Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts did a show at the Yamba Bowling Club. They are a fun bar band (although I'm not sure they'd wish to be tagged as such-but I do like them) and I like to listen to their music when I travel. And Crowded House...I never tire of them. If you see me in an airport, I will in all likelihood be wearing earphones & keeping time to their music.
In his opening comments Mr. Crowe tried to incorporate something about the locale into his remarks. He'd been told that "yamba" means wind...but not just any wind...a mighty BIG wind. Hm. Would I have learned that if I hadn't gone to the show...or Yamba? I'm not sure.
One thing I do know. My teenager, who I "forced" to go with me, stood for most of the show shifting his weight from one foot to the other, trying to be interested...but having a bit of difficulty convincing me or himself. That is, until the band did a rousing rendition of Johnny Cash's Folsom Prison Blues! (I, on the other hand, had a GREAT time the entire evening because I knew all the songs and sang along!) That song pulled him in and the whole place was having a rocking, fun time! I guess he would say, "it was an experience." I give him kudos for putting up with my idiosyncratic interests and for going along for the ride!
Yamba is Australia's eastern most seaport, located at the mouth of the Clarence River. The Clarence, NSW's largest river, has over a 100 islands. Bundjalung and Yuragir National Parks are nearby. New South Wales' second largest fishing fleet makes its home here. It is a three hours drive, south, from Brisbane and nine hours north of Sydney along the Pacific Highway. There is a lighthouse at Yamba, for those interested in such; very picturesque. The climate is subtropical. I was there in August and it was sunny and warm during the day, evenings a bit cooler.
Yamba has a walking trail which takes you around the village and along the beach. There is a lovely jetty, where you can walk. I could have sat there for hours contemplating the ocean. If you need to renew yourself, Yamba is highly recommended as a place to give it a go! There seemed to be lots of hotels and getaway places in Yamba, discreetly tucked into the village. You can get everywhere on foot. I enjoyed walking, even though we had a car.
I took a walk early one morning and watched a gentleman who'd just come in from fishing cleaning his catch and tossing the leftovers to the hungrily assembled pelicans. They must be used to this ritual as they were all lined up and ready. The fresh air and beautiful views were bonuses.
Yamba is a gem worth visiting and spending time in. We only scratched the surface of things there. It deserves a lot more attention than I had time to give.I can't wait to return one day!
- Pros:Beautiful coastal fishing village and resort, laid back, picturesque, great beaches
- Cons:A bit hidden away, but that shouldn't be a problem, right?
- In a nutshell:A Gem of a Surprise!

Good pages. I'm having trouble reconciling you grooving on a dance floor though!
Haven't been to Yamba for absolute "yonks" so it was good to read your tips & view the lovely photos. Must bet back up there. You didn't visit Angourie where all the best surfers are when the waves are on?

Bank of America 2012: The Worst is Yet to Come (Update 1)
Bank of America story updated with Wednesday's price action in the 13th paragraph..
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) - Bank of America may have had a dismal 2011, but you haven't seen nothing yet.
The thinking on Bank of America has long been that valuations are so low, the stock can't get any lower--and then lower it goes. The problem, by and large, has been mortgage risk. Bank of America can't ever seem to get a handle on how much exposure it has. The number just keeps growing and growing.
But that won't be the problem in 2012. As the famous saying goes--you don't know who isn't wearing swimming trunks until the tide goes out. In this case, however, we do know: it's Bank of America. And things have been so bad for the bank--not only in 2011 but ever since the crisis--that we tend to forget that the tide hasn't even gone out yet. We've had a serious crisis in Europe, massive political instability in the Middle East and Russia and a recession in the U.S. and the S&P 500 is only down 2.53%.
Some may see this as a sign of the market's resilience, but that would be a mistake. Investors are still counting on the European crisis resolving itself. They are betting that European governments believe they have too much to lose by not eventually creating euro bonds. But as Financial Times managing editor Gillian Tett explained on Charlie Rose last week, look how hard it was for former Treasury Secretary Hank Paulson to get the "bazooka" he needed from Congress to restore investor confidence in U.S. markets. "I mean if you get, have problems getting one person for a bazooka, try to think about 17 people for a bazookaCheck Out Our Best Services for Investors

I know this sounds stupid, but I'm afraid to take pain pills that are perscribed to me because I'm afraid of getting hooked.
Past 2 weeks I've had bad pain from gallstones and an enlarged liver. Waiting for a consult with a specialist and surgeon. I've been taking one 50 mg tablet of gravol for the nausea and so far I've been just dealing with the pain. Acetaminophen and ibuprophen don't even touch the pain. So it's been a very miserable horrible two weeks. Today I took 1/2 tablet of percoset/oxycodone and OMG the relief in pain was incredible. Felt better than I have in two weeks. Hubby gets so upset with me when I won't take anything for the pain, but I'm afraid of getting hooked to them. Maybe I've watched too much TV...I don't know. I've tried castor oil packs, massage, acetaminophen, ibuprophen, and I'm going to go do some accupuncture as soon as payday comes. But could someone get hooked on percoset from taking 1/2 tablet a day? |
I think it just depends on the person, their personality and the drug.
It's the mental addictions that are personality based. For the most part, I think that unless you have a history of addictions or a family tendencies to addictions, you aren't likely to develop a mental addiction if you are that concerned about it in the first place. |
You say you are only taking half a tab a day, unless the tabs are like 3000mg or something, that's probably a pretty small dose.
babygrant, Please make sure it is OK to cut your pills in half. Many of those are extended release and cutting them puts more into your system faster. Yours may be fine, or low enough dose that it doesn't matter, but not all pain meds are.
Good luck with it all. I hope you feel better soon. |

From a physical standpoint John Danks has felt as good as can be since he returned to the majors earlier this season.
But that other pleasant feeling the one you can only experience in victory has proven elusive for Danks who had shoulder surgery only 54 weeks ago.
On Tuesday night Danks rediscovered the sweet sensation when he earned his first win since July 2. The left-hander delivered a season-best eight scoreless innings and the White Sox defeated the Kansas City Royals 2-0 at Kauffman Stadium. Danks improved to 3-10 and lowered his ERA from 4.70 to 4.22.
"It's fun to talk to you guys after a win" Danks said. "It has been a while. I caught a couple breaks I was able to throw the ball over the plate and we scored enough."
Danks may have caught a break here or there but he made his own luck against Kansas City.
He threw strikes on 71 of 100 pitches and kept up with his season-long trend of good control issuing only one walk. White Sox manager Robin Ventura said Danks who has ...

Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a syndrome characterized by pain or discomfort seemingly originating from the contact of the posterior surface of the patella (back of the kneecap) with the femur (thigh bone).
The causes of PFPS are unclear, but there are several theories. Which tissues give rise to the pain is debated. Similarly, there is no consensus as to what is the best way of treating PFPS, and there is not enough evidence to support any particular management approach.
There is no universally accepted definition. Selected definitions include:
PFPS is one of a handful of conditions sometimes referred to as runner's knee.[1]
Chondromalacia patellae is a term sometimes treated synonymously with PFPS.[2] However, there is general consensus that PFPS is a term that applies only to individuals without cartilage damage,[2] thereby distinguishing it from chondromalacia patellae, a condition characterized by softening of the patellar articular cartilage.[1] Despite this academic distinction, the diagnosis of PFPS is typically made clinically, based only on the history and physical examination rather than on the results of any medical imaging. Therefore it is unknown whether most persons with a diagnosis of PFPS have cartilage damage or not, making the difference between PFPS and chondromalacia theoretical rather than practical.[2] It is thought that only some individuals with anterior knee pain will have true chondromalacia patellae.[1]
The onset of the condition is usually gradual,[3] although some cases may appear suddenly following trauma.[1]
Unless there is an underlying pathology in the knee, swelling is usually mild to nil.[medical citation needed]
The cause of PFPS is thought to be increased pressure on the patellofemoral joint.[2] There are several theorized mechanisms relating to how this increased pressure occurs:
The cause of pain and dysfunction often results from either abnormal forces (e.g. increased pull of the lateral quadriceps retinaculum with acute or chronic lateral PF subluxation/dislocation) or prolonged repetitive compressive or shearing forces (running or jumping) on the PF joint. The result is thinning and softening (chondromalacia) of the articular cartilage under the patella and/or on the medial or lateral femoral condyles, synovial irritation and inflammation and subchondral bony changes in the distal femur or patella known as "bone bruises". Secondary causes of PF Syndrome are fractures, internal knee derangement, Osteoarthritis of the knee and bony tumors in or around the knee.[6]
The pain from prolonged sitting is thought to occur because of the constant pull of the quadriceps muscle on the knee cap while sitting, which causes its impaction against the hard and unyielding surfaces of the bones of knee joint.[medical citation needed]
The diagnosis of patellofemoral pain syndrome is made by ruling out patellar tendinitis, prepatellar bursitis, plica syndrome, Sinding–Larsen–Johansson syndrome, and Osgood–Schlatter disease.[7]
Patellofemoral grinding test.[8]
Palpation is usually unremarkable.[medical citation needed]
As patellofemoral pain syndrome is the most common cause of anterior knee pain in the outpatient,[1] a variety of treatments for patellofemoral pain syndrome are implemented. However, there is little supporting evidence.[9] Most patients with patellofemoral pain syndrome respond well to conservative therapy.[9][10]
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are widely used to treat PFPS, however there is only very limited evidence that they are effective.[2] NSAIDs may reduce pain in the short term, overall however, after three months pain is not improved.[11] There is no evidence that one type of NSAID is superior to another in PFPS, and therefore some authors have recommended that the NSAID with least side effects and which is cheapest should be used.[2]
Glycosaminoglycan polysulfate (GAGPS) inhibits proteolytic enzymes and increases synthesis and degree of polymerization of hyaluronic acid in synovial fluid.[2] There is contradictory evidence that it is effective in PFPS.[2]
A 2011 systematic review stated that evidence supports the use of quadriceps exercise for managing patellofemoral pain syndrome and that quadriceps strengthening is considered to be the "gold" standard treatment for patellofemoral pain syndrome.[9] Various exercises have been studied and recommended.[12]
Quadriceps strengthening is commonly suggested because the quadriceps muscles help to stabilize the patella. Quadriceps weakness and quadriceps muscle imbalance may contribute to abnormal patellar tracking.[9] If the strength of the vastus medialis muscle is inadequate, the usually larger and stronger vastus lateralis muscle will pull sideways (laterally) on the kneecap. Strengthening the vastus medialis to prevent or counter the lateral force of the vastus lateralis is one way of relieving PFPS. Moderate evidence supports the addition of hip abductor and external rotator strengthening, as well as exercises targeting hip flexion and hip extension.[9][13][13] When executing these exercises, proper form is very important in order to ensure that the musculature is activated in such a way that will not lead to further injury. Inflexibility has often been cited as a source of patellofemoral pain syndrome. Stretching of the laterial knee has been suggested to help.[14] Furthermore, the use of a foam roller may help to add flexibility and relieve pain from sore or stiff muscles in the leg.[citation needed]
Magnetic resonance imaging rarely can give useful information for managing patellofemoral pain syndrome and treatment should focus on an appropriate rehabilitation program including correcting strength and flexibility concerns.[15] In the uncommon cases where a patient has mechanical symptoms like a locked knee, knee effusion, or failure to improve following physical therapy, then an MRI may give more insight into diagnosis and treatment.[15]
Patellofemoral pain syndrome may also result from overuse or overload of the PF joint. For this reason, knee activity should be reduced until the pain is resolved.[16][17] Those with pain originating from sitting too long should straighten the leg or walk periodically. Those who engage in high impact activity such as running should consider a nonimpact activity such as swimming or aerobics on an elliptical machine.[citation needed]
To reduce inflammation, ice can be applied to the PF joint after an activity. The ice should be kept in place for 10 to 15 minutes. Additionally anti-inflammatory drugs such as NSAIDs can also be taken immediately after an activity or judicious use during daily activities and for those people whose symptoms aren't controlled with ice.[citation needed]
There is no statistically or clinically significant difference in pain symptoms between taping and non-taping in individuals with PFPS.[11]
Knee braces are ineffective in treating PFPS.[11] The technique of McConnell taping involves pulling the patella medially with tape (medial glide). Findings from some studies suggest that there is limited benefit with patella taping or bracing when compared to quadriceps exercises alone.[9]
Low arches can cause overpronation or the feet to roll inward too much increasing the Q angle and genu valgum. Poor lower extremity biomechanics may cause stress on the knees and ultimately patellofemoral pain syndrome. Stability or motion control shoes are designed for people with pronation issues. Arch supports and custom orthotics may also help to improve lower extremity biomechanics.[18][19]
The scientific consensus is that surgery should be avoided for PFPS except in very severe cases in which conservative treatments fail.[2]
There is no evidence that acupuncture, chiropractic patellar mobilization or low level laser therapy are effective treatments for PFPS.[20]
Specific populations at high risk of primary Patellofemoral Syndrome include runners, bicyclists, basketball players, young athletes and females.

NH woman wants to be a millionaire
Amber Cushing of Allenstown will appear Monday as a contestant on "Who Wants to be A Millionaire?" (Disney-ABC) |
Cushing, 31, the librarian for the Allenstown Public Library, has a doctorate in information and library science. She said she became a librarian because she's always loved trivia and helping people find information. She said she hopes the five years she put into the doctorate program would pay off big on "Millionaire" so that she can finally get rid of her six-figure student loans.
Cushing is the daughter of Sharon Wilson of Concord and Dan Cushing of Gig Harbor, Wash. She's a 2000 graduate of Concord High School. Her mother came to New York City with her and sat in the "Millionaire" audience as her on-air companion for the show.
Cushing said she's been waiting since September to be able to tell people how she did on the show. The process started months ago.
"Last summer," she said, "I saw a commercial that they were having tryouts. I had a weekend free and saw a friend in New York." The line for contestants at the Apollo Theater "was around the corner."
She passed a timed multiple-choice test, then an interview and a screen test.
"I naturally remember information and naturally encounter a lot of information," said Cushing. "I talk through what I'm doing, which drives my family crazy, but they like people who talk through things. In about a month, you get a postcard saying if you're in the contestant pool. A month goes by, and I started working at the library. That was the first week in September. One Friday afternoon, the 21st, I was sitting at the library and my cellphone rang. I saw the area code was weird, Googled it, and saw it was ABC studios. They wanted me in New York Tuesday night, just four days later!"
Cushing had to wait the entire day in the green room, with no books, phone, music or anything, but finally was called to play the game.
"All the other shows they taped that day have aired," she said. "Now I can finally tell people. It was a really fun experience! I can't believe I got this far!"

I implemented the contact form into a CMS page here.
As you can see, the forms shows up fine. However, when I fill the form out to test and click "send", there is no message indicating if the mail was sent correctly or failed. But a new page loads, so I think it is doing something. When I check my email, no email comes. I've checked spam folder too.
Current Setup:
In the CMS page, I have this code:
{{block type="core/template" name="contactForm" form_action="/contacts/index/post" template="contacts/form.phtml"}}
In the form.phtml file, I have modified the form tag action attribute to:
<form action="/contacts/index/post/" id="contactForm" method="post">
Stuff I've tried already:
And I don't think its the server because I tried the "forgot password" when logging into the Admin, and I received an email to reset the password.
In System Config, I've verified that "Enable Contact Us" is Yes. "Disable EMail Communications" is No. And makes no difference if "Set Return Path" is Yes or No.
It is set to send to an email address that is not hosted by the same server as the Magento site is on. The email address is a Google Apps email.

Indiana Pacers forward Chris Copeland underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on his left knee, a procedure that is expected to sideline him for six to eight weeks, the team announced today.The operation was to remove a loose body from Copeland's knee. It was performed earlier this morning in Indiana, and the recovery time is listed at six to eight weeks. Considering the current projected timeframe, Copeland is expected to be ready for the start of training camp.Copeland signed with the Pacers earlier this offseason after spending last year with the New York Knicks. Over 56 games with the Knicks, Copeland averaged 8.7 points and 2.1 rebounds in 15.4 minutes per contest. The 6'8" forward also averaged 42.1 percent from three-point range.Considering having your knee scoped is a standard surgery, especially during the offseason, Copeland should be able to return within the current projected timeframe. Even if the Pacers decide to err on the side of caution and give him a bit longer, he should still be ready to go within plenty of time for the start of the 2013 regular season.Follow @hoopsinjurynews
