The MSc in Forensic Linguistics builds on Aston's world-renowned expertise in this exciting area. It will provide you with knowledge and understanding of the whole field of forensic linguistics, from analysing the language of the legal process, to understanding how linguistic analysis can be used as a vital investigative tool. You will gain plenty of hands-on experience of analysing language data from real-life legal contexts. We use teaching materials from genuine cases, including from the Centre for Forensic Linguistics' own case files, ensuring that you will gain the best possible insight into the field and ensuring that the programme is relevant, up to date, and based on the realities of professional practice.
This module is designed for students coming to the programme without prior qualifications or experience in linguistic analysis. It introduces students to the basics of language analysis, equipping them with the knowledge and skills necessary to progress through the rest of the programme. Students will be advised as to whether or not this module will be compulsory for them.
This module provides a general introduction to forensic linguistics, covering the major topics in the field. This will give students a solid grounding in all the key areas, including courtroom discourse, police interviews, language as evidence, the role of the linguist as expert witness, and language and disadvantage in the legal process. This foundation module provides a springboard for the subsequent elective modules, giving students a flavour of the wide variety of topic areas available.
This module introduces students to context-based understanding of written and spoken discourse. It is compulsory for any student wishing to complete the full MSc in Forensic Linguistics. We look at a variety of approaches to text analysis, such as genre and register, patterns and signals, ethnography of communication, conversation analysis and pragmatics. These approaches are then applied to the analysis of spoken and written discourse in a variety of contexts, including non-forensic contexts. The module enables students to develop their skills in analysing discourse, raising their understanding and awareness so that they will feel more confident about collecting and analysing spoken and written data as well as approaching difficult or unfamiliar texts.
This module provides students with an introduction to forensic linguistic investigation and the forms of evidence such a practitioner might be expected to give. It provides students with an overview of the range of possible linguistic evidence and encourages them to explore what should not as well as should be provided as evidence by a linguist. It encourages students to consider the needs of the police and of the courts in report writing and the role of the linguist in giving evidence as an expert witness. Examples from real cases are used throughout.
As the name suggests, this module takes an in-depth look at spoken text in legal contexts. Some of the most important parts of the legal process depend on spoken interaction, from initial encounters between police officers and members of the public, to the interviewing of witnesses and suspects, to courtroom interaction. We analyse all of these types of interaction, along with the language of legal professionals ('police-speak', and 'talking like a lawyer'), the language of offenders and treatment, and a wider consideration of differences between legal and lay paradigms of communication.
This module examines the role of written text in the legal system. We begin by considering the extent to which written legal text governs all our lives, regardless of whether we've ever read it or indeed know where to find it. We examine contracts, product warnings, insurance and other consumer documents, as well as legislation and other formal legal texts such as jury instructions. Key themes are problems of comprehensibility and disputed meaning, especially where lay people come into contact with legal text. Other topics include plagiarism and legal language as genre.
This module provides students with an introduction to forms of language disadvantage in forensic and legal contexts. Contexts include the point of arrest, during investigative interview and in courtroom interactions. Forms of disadvantage considered include being a non-native speaker, being deaf or partially deaf and requiring sign-interpretation, being a child or vulnerable adult. Strategies to overcome disadvantage include legal interpretation and translation (including signing), intermediaries and other special measures designed to protect the linguistically and psychologically vulnerable.
The MSc in Forensic Linguistics is an online distance learning course which can be completed from anywhere in the world, with no requirement to attend our Birmingham campus. All materials have been specifically designed for distance learning, and modules typically involve a series of online presentations given by leading FL academics, supported by additional written material. Once enrolled in a module, you are free to move through the material in your own time and at your own pace (within an overall maximum of one year from enrolment), meaning that study can easily be fitted around other commitments. Students are provided with small consolidation tasks to complete throughout each module, and discussion boards through which you can interact with others working through the same materials. Full lecturer support is provided.
Assessment involves the submission of written work, for which guidance is provided. There are no exams. A typical assignment would be a 4000-word academic analysis of data collected by the student.

Prop 'n Go is my new favorite iPad stand
I have been through sooooo many iPad cases and stands. Cases with keyboards, cases without, backpack cases, mini-briefcase models, you name it, I've tried it. Since I work at home, my needs aren't that complicated. I need something that serves as a stand, won't tip over, and allows me to adjust the angle of my iPad to taste.
The good folks at Padded Spaces sent me the Prop 'n Go Slim tablet stand and I'm hooked. I reviewed the original Prop 'n Go case almost a year ago, and found it nice to use, but way too thick. I then tried a slimmer case from Padded Spaces last year, and while very well constructed, I thought it was too thick as well. I did like the fact that it was narrower.
I think this new slim model hits the sweet spot. It's not a case, so I'll use something else for protecting the iPad when I travel. The Slim is US $35, has 14 adjustable angles, and works with iPads, the Kindle and I would think most Android tablets too. The dimensions work with the iPad in either landscape or portrait orientation. The base is flat, rather than wedge shaped, which is an improvement I suggested in my review last year. The Prop 'n Go works very well on a bed or soft couch. It comes in blue or black, and it is very solid, the iPad doesn't move even if I'm tapping and sliding across the screen with some force. The only negative is the iPad is not anchored to the tablet, so if you carry it around the house, you need to hold it upright. Although the surface is made from non-slip materials, you want to be careful the stand and your iPad aren't headed in different directions.
This latest Prop 'n Go is the perfect stand for me. It's very well made, won't tip over, and for my uses is nearly perfect. I'm told supplies are a bit constrained until next week, but I think this stand is worth the wait.
You can compare the original design to the slim in the gallery below.

Compound Machines
A compound machine is one in which two or more simple machines work together. For example, a screwdriver (wheel and axle) driving a screw is a compound machine. To find the mechanical advantage of a compound machine, multiply the MA of the simple machines together.
The axe shown is a compound machine. The handle is a lever, and the head is two inclined planes. Find the combined MA by multiplying the individual MA of each simple machine.
Structural Support
Some Mechanical Comprehension questions ask about the load carried by support structures such as beams or bridges—or sometimes by people. You will be given a diagram showing support structures and asked which one is strongest or weakest, or which support in the diagram is bearing the lesser or greater part of the load. To answer this kind of question, keep this in mind: When a load of any kind is supported by two support beams, posts, or people, the load is perfectly balanced if it is exactly centered. In that case, each beam, post, or person is bearing exactly half the load. However, if the load is not centered, then the beam, post, or person nearer to the load is bearing the greater part of the weight.
The figure shows two people carrying a load. The load is centered. Each person is bearing half the load, or 75 lb.
The figure shows two people carrying a load. Which person is bearing the greater part of the load? Common sense tells you that it's the woman, because she is closer to the load.
Questions about structural support may also ask you to decide which of several support structures is the strongest (or weakest). For this kind of question, you can often use your common sense. If a diagram shows several different structures, look for the one with the most brackets or other support elements. Also look for the one that leaves the least horizontal area (for example, the front part of a flat bookshelf) unsupported. A bracket that runs the whole width of the shelf provides better support than one that does not.
Which of these four shelves can bear the most weight?
Choice D can bear the most weight. Of the four shelves, it is the strongest because it has the largest brackets, and because it has the most brackets.
Shape can also make a difference in the strength of a support structure. For example, a structure in which the support beams form rectangular shapes is not as strong as one in which the beams form triangular shapes. The reason is that while rectangular supports can easily bend out of shape, a triangle keeps its shape unless it falls apart entirely. That's why triangular shapes are used in support structures such as shelf brackets. That is also why you often see triangular shapes in the support structures of bridges, towers, and other buildings.
Which bridge is the strongest?
In the diagram, bridge C is the strongest because its framework is made of many triangles.
Properties of Materials
Tools, machines, and structures can be made of many different materials, such as wood, metal, plastic, and the like. Each material has its own properties, or characteristics. Some Mechanical Comprehension questions will ask you about those properties, or ask you to compare the properties of different materials. Most questions of this type can be answered with simple common sense, based on your everyday experience. For some, you may need to recall some of the basic ideas you learned in high school science.
One of the most important properties of materials is the ability to conduct heat. Here is an example of a question about this property.
Three pots are cooking on a stove. Pot A has a wooden handle, pot B has a metal handle, and pot C has a plastic handle. Which handle will feel hottest to the touch?
- All three will feel equally hot
To answer this question, think about your everyday experience. For which pot would you need a potholder? You might also remember from a high school science class that metal is a better conductor of heat than either wood or plastic. The correct answer is choice B.
Another important property of some materials is the ability to bend without breaking. This is called flexibility. The springs on a car can bend millions of times without breaking because they are made of spring steel. A ceramic cup, on other hand, cannot flex even once without breaking. Materials that are somewhat flexible include regular steel, copper, and wood. Some flexible materials will spring back to their original shape after bending. Others will stay in the new shape.
Which object shown will resume its original shape after bending?
The spring (choice C) will resume its original shape. Nails, screws, and bolts are not made of spring steel, and while you can bend them, they will not spring back into their original shape.
Another important property of some materials is the ability to be formed into a new shape through repeated blows from a hammer. This property is called malleability. You will probably not need to be able to recall this term, but you should be able to identify substances that have this property. Metals like steel and copper are malleable and can thus be formed into the shapes of tools, containers, and other objects. Glass and ceramics, on the other hand, are not malleable.
Still another important property of some materials is the ability to stretch without breaking. Rubber can stretch in this way. Metal, glass, and plastic can stretch when heated. Wood and paper, on the other hand, will not stretch.

What can a noncustodial parent do when he does not get along with the co-parent and cannot visit the children for practical reasons during the week? One option is to seek more weekend visitation; instead of every other weekend, try three out of four weekends. Another very successful option is to split the year into ten five-week blocks instead of twelve four-week blocks. This takes a little more planning, but it can give the noncustodial parent three out of five weekends instead of two out of four weekends.
In a three-fifths weekend visitation schedule, the weeks are arranged in a five-week recurring A-B-B-A-B cycle in which A is the custodial parent and B is the visiting parent. On the first weekend of the cycle, the custodial parent has weekend visitation; on the second and third weekends the noncustodial parent has the weekend. On the fourth week, the weekend goes to the custodial parent, and on the fifth week, the weekend goes to the noncustodial parent. After the fifth week, the cycle starts again.
It is best to describe visitation in terms of a repeating cycle rather than referring to the first week of the month, the second week of the month, and so on. Months vary in the number of weeks, offering a cause for confusion and argument over "extra" weekends. Two-week repeating cycles are adequate to describe most visitation schedules. When a generic Week 1 and Week 2 are agreed to, simply mark a "1" or "2" on each Monday of a twelve-month calendar. The entire exercise takes about two minutes. Make sure that you and the co-parent have started on the same Week 1.
The Visitation Schedule I Recommend
I am partial to a particular type of shared parenting schedule that I have seen work well with both high-conflict and low-conflict divorced parents for many years. I suggest this when both parents are within a twenty-minute drive to school; when both parents are available to spend most of the allotted time with the child or children; and when the children are comfortable and happy with both parents. It is a two-week repeating schedule.
I will explain it with a notation showing how the children go from home to home with letters and symbols. The first day always represents Monday, so that the weekend can be seen as days in a row.
First, designate one parent as A and the other as B. An A in brackets ([A]) means that Parent A has the whole day with the children. A bracketed A/B ([A/B]) means the children go from Parent A to Parent B on that day.
- Week 1 [A]-[A]-[A]-[A/B]-[B]-[B]-[B/A]. Parent A has the children on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday for the entire day. On Thursday, the children go from Parent A to Parent B. They are with Parent B on Thursday after school or in the evening (depending on the transition time). They are with Parent B all day Friday and Saturday, and they return to Parent A on Sunday evening.
- Week 2 [A]-[A]-[A]-[A/B]-[B]-[B/A]-[A]. Parent A has the children from Monday to Thursday afternoon or evening, just as in Week 1. Instead of the children coming back to Parent A on Sunday, they return on Saturday morning. This is so Parent A can have weekend time with the children.
The advantages to this schedule are numerous.
Time is divided equally between the parents. Parent B gets to see the children on some portion of fourteen out of every twenty-eight days.
- The children are only out of the Parent A home for six days of every twenty-eight-day period. Because the children start in Parent A's home on Thursday and spend part of each Sunday or Saturday with Parent A, the children see Parent A for some portion of twenty-two of every twenty-eight days.
- The children have a regular "transition day" during the school week. Every Thursday the children go to Parent B's residence. This gives Parent B the opportunity to participate in school-work and other activities. Thursday is an important day to prepare for tests and quizzes, so this should satisfy Parent B's desire to be a "real parent" as opposed to merely a weekend parent.
- Midweek visitation is eliminated in favor of blocks of parenting time for each parent. There is no need for rushed visitation, fast-food dinners, or sloppy homework.
- Because parenting time is distributed in blocks, each parent has "time on" and "time off" with respect to parenting responsibilities. This is great because when it is each parent's time for parenting, they can concentrate on the children. When it is their "off" parenting time, each parent can tend to their personal responsibilities, their social lives (which should be kept away from the children), and their shopping and personal chores.
There is a single drawback to this schedule: Parent A does not get a "full weekend" with the children, meaning that there is no weekend where Parent A gets to have a Friday night with the children. There is a way to deal with this facet of the schedule. It is called "being reasonable." If Parent A wants to spend a Friday night with the children, she calls Parent B in advance and requests the time. Parent B obliges because Parent B wants the children to do fun things and have fun experiences. Parent A then consents that on the next Week 1 (which is Parent B's longer block of time), Parent B can keep the children on the Sunday night they would ordinarily return and bring them to school on Monday morning so as to make up the missed sleepover.
Be Reasonable
When you are creating schedules, be open-minded. Do not be so quick to count the number of "sleepovers" as being that meaningful. The only useful thing you can do while your kids are sleeping is spend time figuring out how you are going to pay for your lawyer. Consider instead the quantity and quality of face-to-face time you will have with your children. When your children are awake you can tell them how much you love them, and until they are old enough to disappear with their friends and use your residence as a boardinghouse, you can spend your time playing with them and educating them. Those are the important moments, and that is the type of time and contact you should be seeking.
Quick Tips
- There is no compelling research-based evidence that shows kids are better off when they spend the majority of time with one parent for the sole purpose of having a "home base."
- Don't let your dislike of the co-parent determine your child's need to spend time with her. Visitation is not about you; it is about your children.

Rebecca Ferguson is to feature on the forthcoming Downton Abbey: The Essential Collection compilation album.
The CD will feature orchestral pieces and pop songs that are to accompany storylines in the third series, according to The Independent.
Ferguson has recorded I'll Count The Days, which was co-written by Don Black, who wrote the Bond theme Diamonds Are Forever.
The song reportedly provides the backdrop for the love story between characters Matthew Crawley and Lady Mary.
The album is to released later this month and also features covers of 80s hits With Or Without You and Every Breath You Take, performed by Belgian choir Scala & The Kolacny Brothers.
Meanwhile, the third series of the period drama will see the Earl of Grantham facing bankruptcy.
Hugh Bonnerville, who plays Earl Grantham, told the Daily Mirror: "In the past, everyone at Downton knew their place and they were living in a golden age.
"But now we discover that wasn't the case at all and this series will be about recovery."
The Earl invested in a US rail company which failed leaving the family practically penniless.
Hugh added: "Robert took a huge gamble with his wife Cora's money and that's why he is emotionally devastated.
"His sole purpose in life is to make sure the house gets handed on to the next generation, but he's mucked it up."
Downton Abbey returns to STV on September 16, at 9pm.

Summer Heat and Storms Can Cause Electrical Surges -- Will You Be Ready When the Power Goes Out?; Hartford Steam Boiler Offers Guidelines To Help Reduce The Risk Of Equipment Damage.
HARTFORD, Conn. -- Storms and a heavy demand for air conditioning in summer lead to millions of dollars in equipment losses each year as high-voltage power surges strike electrical systems in homes, businesses and institutions. Poorly maintained or mismatched electrical equipment adds to the problem of electrical breakdowns.It's important to take steps now to protect equipment from damage and prepare for the loss of electric power, advise the equipment specialists at The Hartford Steam Boiler Inspection and Insurance Company (HSB). The company is offering guidelines to help consumers and businesses reduce the risk of equipment losses.
"A power surge can come from many sources," said William Bartley, P.E., a Principal Electrical Engineer for HSB, who works with clients and insurers to help protect and restore electrical equipment. "The most obvious is lightning, but these high-energy pulses can also come from normal utility switching operations, or when a power line falls to the ground during a windstorm. Surges can come from the outside and inside a building, even from air conditioners, motors and pumps, and other equipment."
Surges may result from blackouts as utilities strain to keep up with demand in the peak summer months. In these cases, the damage occurs not when electricity suddenly cuts out, but when it resumes, sending a sudden surge through the lines. Electrical damage also can be caused by voltage sags or longer lasting brownouts which reduce power levels and cause equipment to work harder. These conditions are collectively known as electrical transients and disrupt the quality of power flow necessary for the normal operation of equipment.
How to Protect Property and Equipment
Although there is no way to guarantee that home or business equipment will not be damaged by power surges, properly sized and grounded surge suppression systems are the best defense against power spikes from any source. The following guidelines can help protect against equipment breakdowns and related property damage.
--Pull the Plug. Whether it's during or after a storm or power outage, the best way to avoid surge damage is to unplug equipment and turn switches off. Once the threat passes or power is restored, plug the equipment back in one piece at a time, starting with units closest to the power source to limit potential damage.
--Install Surge Protection. These devices should be placed inside and outside a building. Utility power lines are not the only path for voltage surges to enter. Telephone lines, computer lines, modems, faxes -- any equipment connected to the outside world can be a source. It is critical that a building have a good, low-resistance grounding system. Consult a licensed electrician.
--Protect Critical Equipment. Computers are not the only equipment risk. Don't forget surge protection devices for each piece of important equipment and all sensitive systems, including communications lines and networks. Households should also protect televisions, home entertainment systems, security systems and similar property.
--Emergency Generators. If you don't have emergency generators, consider a rental agreement with a dependable local vendor.
--Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS). If computer loads or communications systems utilize the UPS to continue operating through short-term outages, have procedures for an orderly shutdown. Usually, the UPS will provide power for 15 to 60 minutes so you can save and protect data.
--Power Outage Procedures. Keep written procedures on what to do in a power emergency in a central location. Include emergency contacts, such as electrical and repair contractors.
(Editor's Note: Fact sheet about power surges is attached.)

One of the world's leading equipment breakdown insurers, Hartford Steam Boiler helps clients reduce risk through a unique combination of specialty coverages, engineering-based risk management strategies and loss reduction services.

Ten Facts About Lightning and Other Power Surges 1. What Is A Power Surge? An electrical transient, or power surge, is a short duration, high energy impulse that is sent through a normal electrical power system whenever there is a sudden change in the electrical circuit. 2. Where Do They Come From? Lightning is the most obvious source, but power surges also originate from normal utility switching operations, or the unintentional grounding of electrical conductors such as when a power line falls to the ground. A simple example of circuit switching is when you turn a light switch on. 3. Inside Job. Power surges can also come from inside a building from air conditioners, elevators, motors and pumps, arc welders and other equipment. Whatever the cause, the normal electrical circuit is suddenly exposed to a large dose of energy. 4. How Can A Blackout Cause A Power Surge? It is not the loss of power that causes a power surge and equipment loss. The damage occurs when electricity resumes, sending a sudden surge of power through the lines. 5. What Can You Do To Protect Equipment? There is no way to guarantee that equipment will not be damaged by lightning or circuit switching power surges. But properly sized and grounded surge suppression systems are the best defense. 6. The Lowdown On Lightning. People often discuss lightning and voltage surges as two distinct phenomena, when lightning is just one type of surge. Another form of environmental surge is common electrostatic discharge, which can be particularly damaging to sensitive electronic equipment. In fact, lightning has been described as "a big spark" or static electricity on a giant scale. 7. What Causes Lightning? In the simplest terms, lightning is an electrical discharge between positive and negative regions of a thunderstorm. Although cloud-to-ground strikes are the most damaging and dangerous, lightning can also discharge within clouds and from cloud to cloud. 8. Nature's Light Show. There are about 15-20 million cloud-to-ground strikes per year in the U.S. and millions more aloft. The heat from an average lightning bolt exceeds 50,000 degrees F -- three times hotter than the surface of the Sun. 9. Double Trouble. Lightning does strike twice. It hits the Empire State Building an average 15-20 times each year. 10. Flash, Crackle, Boom! Lightning travels at 90,000 miles per second. Thunder is the delayed shock wave created by superheated air in the lightning channel. By counting the seconds between the flash and the thunder and dividing by five, you can estimate the distance to the strike in miles.

Community Manager
As you might have seen ( http://us.battle.net/wow/en/blog/2653949#blog ), we recently rolled out an update to our Android, iPhone and iPod touch apps that adds the ability to chat with your guild mates directly from your mobile device. We wanted to make sure we have a consolidated place where you can report bugs and offer us feedback on the features after trying Remote Guild Chat during the free preview period.
If you have the app and have been able to try guild chat on the currently supported realms, let us know what you think: Have you run into any issues? Any bugs you've been able to reproduce? What about the feature itself -- how do you like it? Any thoughts on how we can make it better?
Edited by Bashiok on 4/26/2011 1:32 PM PDT
I'm extremely psyched for this feature to hit Android phones because that means that one could run the application with the Android SDK's Emulator tool.
http://developer.android.com/guide/developing/devices/emulator.html Since this is an official Android emulator released by the company, I imagine that Blizzard has no problems with people running the SDK on their computer, logging into their Android accounts on the emulator, and then running Remote Guild Chat, correct? You can basically then use the emulator plus this app as a way to keep in contact with your guild instant-messaging style without having to log on to WoW. I finally won't have to idle in Orgrimmar 5 hours a day waiting for my friends to log on; I can just look at my second monitor's desktop where I can have guild chat running in the corner 24/7 using up probably 1/10 of the resources that WoW would use. When my friends log on, I can then immediately follow and we can PvP together or level or do heroics or whatever. As for the topic itself, a cool feature would be a better way of doing this without the SDK Emulator from Android. Perhaps you could have a web version of Remote Guild Chat just like you have a web version of the Mobile Auction House?

Updating our remote Ah, great. About time.
Why the glaring lack of any word, at all, for those of us who use Android and want a mobile armory app? You know, the one we were promised when you released the Iphone version. We now outnumber Iphone users, it can't be that hard to port the armory over to android considering multiple developers have both Iphone and Android versions of their apps. They usually have both versions out within a few days of each other to boot. |
I tested out the remote guild chat yesterday on Lightbringer, while I was logged in game too. I was logged into my main (<---this toon) and also using my main to post from the remote guild chat. The second I posted something to remote guild chat, it automatically demoted me in guild. I am an officer in my guild (Rank 3), so now I'm just a member (Rank 5).
Possibly, from what I can deduce, is that since the remote gchat app does not require an authenticator to log in, our guild rank settings prevent people without authenticators to be in a raider or officer rank. My guild master has it set to not allow any promotion higher than member, since this became a feature prior to the Cata xpac. Not sure if this is "as intended" but definitely an inconvenience to anyone who gets demoted, and then has to have the GM re-promote them. Basically, I can't use the remote gchat as an officer. It could also conflict with any DKP or EPGP loot systems, as well. |
Yes, I'd like an Android Armory App.
Feature isn't available yet on my realm, but I wanted to point out one concern about the app: it's rating on the app store. I checked to see what it's average user rating was, and while still generally good, there were quite a few 1 and 2 star ratings from users who clearly didn't understand how the trial worked and didn't read. One guy writes something to the effect of "I pay 3 dollars a month subscription and the feature isn't even available on my realm?!?!" (To be clear, this guy fails because a) Blizzard said they're expanding the list of realms, and b) it's a FREE trial; the subscription doesn't apply to this feature yet.) I think that one was the epitome of fail reviews, but there are a few morons out there rating the app with a low grade because they didn't bother reading the entire announcement.
On a related note, the Authenticator app has a few poor reviews because people are asking for retina display compatibility. Boggles my mind why you'd think that makes the app a 1 out of 5, but Blizzard would do well to increase the resolution on that one. It's not like there's too much art in it to begin with. |

We ran into a bug with the Remote Guild Chat feature earlier today which resulted in a few people being demoted within their guild. We've already applied a temporary fix to prevent this issue from affecting anyone else, and we have a full hotfix scheduled to go in the game around mid-day tomorrow. In short, the bug affected players whose guild rank required an Authenticator. When logging into Remote Guild Chat, the game assumed the player had logged in without an Authenticator, so that player was mistakenly demoted due to the security mechanisms in place in the game.
Until the full hotfix is implemented tomorrow, anyone who is still of a guild rank that requires an Authenticator will not be able to use the Remote Guild Chat feature and will receive an error message in the Mobile Armory app if they try. If you were affected by the bug, in order to be re-promoted to "Authenticator Required" ranks, you must first log in to either the game or website for the game to recognize that you have an Authenticator attached (you can do this now – no need to wait for the hotfix). 72 hours later, you will be able to be re-promoted to a rank that requires an Authenticator. We will unfortunately not be able to re-promote those who lost rank as a result of this issue. However, leaders should be able to promote guild members appropriately after the 72-hour timer has expired. While we managed to catch and address this before it affected too many people, we apologize for any inconvenience or interruption this issue caused you or your guild. One of the reasons we're rolling out the guild-chat preview gradually is so that we can catch and address issues like this. We've worked hard to ensure that Remote Guild Chat is a solid and useful feature, and we want players looking to keep in touch with their guildies to have a great experience with it. There is some good news! On the realm-support side, we've rolled out the feature to all of the realms in the Ruin Battlegroup today. We're happy with the stability of the service and the feedback we've seen so far, and if all goes well, we're planning to introduce the service on all North America realms within a week's time. |
My biggest issue is that it's not free. Normally I wouldn't care.. such a feature is certainly a premium, but this seems like it would be immensely important and useful for guild cohesion and guild activity. Would Blizzard keep more game subscribers opening this feature to the general public, or would they retain that money with the $2.99 Armory subscription fee?
I have to bring up an issue. Why isn't this available on the web? I pay for the remote subscription so I can AH while on my laptop, but I can't connect to warcraft where I am. I feel as if the mobile guild chat feature would be very good for the web as well and hope you consider implementing it!
I couldn't care much less about whether the guild chat feature is coming out for Android if it doesn't mean we get a full armory app as well. I can't rightfully pay for this content when basic free features are being pushed aside for the money-making ones.
As I mentioned in the first reply, there are ways to use the Android service from your desktop or laptop PC if you really want to. They aren't exactly the easiest things in the world to set up, so I'd see why a web solution would be ideal though. |
Well ideal would be a documented protocol so it just shows up in my IM client, so long as I'm a paying customer. |
How about adding an option to type in landscape mode? Typing in portrait is a bit obnoxious.
You could always, oh, I don't know, just text each other like normal human beings. Unless nobody in your guild can be trusted with such information. |
Serious feedback:
Ive been looking forward to this for a long time, and i will (or would) pay the $2 a month, but as of this second, its missing to big of a feature for it to be worth it...and thats allowing it to be turned on its side to type.. typing with it in the vertical form is just a pain, if you guys can add support for this, I ill be paying the fee in a heartbeat, thank you for you time [if this is planned would you mind updating the post let us know this...as it is indeed a big deal for us who will be using it a lot to type thank you] update: another feedback: Im not sure of iphone development abilities, not something I have had the ability to work with, however, when you whisper someone, it puts their name "tell name" in the chat bar.. if its an odd name (and lets face it, 99.9% of namesare) it will put the nice red lines under it for misspelling... I would recommend not putting that in the chat box, or finding a way for it not to be checked.

The sport of golf has not seen anything of this kind in the city and so it was with some pride that PGTI Director Padaamjit Sandhu said at the Bombay Presidency Golf Club here on Wednesday that the CG Open is one of the highlights of the PGTI calendar with high prize money of Rs. 1 crore.
Leading golfers like Digvijay Singh and S.S.P. Chowrasia and the 2011 Rolex rankings champion Chiragh Kumar are participating in the tournament that will conclude on Saturday.
Other notable names are Ashok Kumar, C. Muniyappa, Mukesh Kumar, Rashid Khan, Abhijit Singh Chadha, Harendra Gupta, Gaurav Ghei, Sri Lanka's Mithun Perera and Anura Rohana and Bangladesh's Md. Zamal Hossain Mollah.
The CG Open and BILT Open at Delhi Golf Club (Oct. 10-13) will be the crucial phase to determine the two qualifiers for the Barclays Singapore Open to be played at the Sentosa Golf Club from Nov. 8 to 11.
Responding to a question on where the prize money is headed, Sandhu said: "There has been an exponential growth in the last five or six years, but it has been a phase of stabilising it (prize money) in the last two-and-a-half years.
"There has been a slowdown in economy, yet we were able to get two partners and sponsors in TEN, Incredible India, Volvo and Rolex. There is scope to increase the prize money by 15 to 20 per cent in the two or three years. We will focus on providing more opportunities in terms of events and coaching. We already hold five international events in India."

Senate Democrats forced to accept much slimmer energy bill
Without enough votes, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has been forced to abandon a comprehensive energy bill. Gone is any tough climate provision. Will the House buy it?
Alex Brandon/AP
The US Senate late Friday was poised to move ahead with a vastly slimmed down energy bill, minus the much fought-over climate provision that would have capped carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions – in addition to boosting renewable energy.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D) of Nevada was prepared to move after Democrats abandoned their efforts Thursday to pass a comprehensive climate-energy bill that would have for the first time put a price on greenhouse gases from power plants and other industrial smokestacks. The new bill, some who saw drafts of it say, appeared to be a mere shadow of the old.
In it, Mr. Reid has cobbled together a few pieces of legislation widely embraced by Democrats, which some analysts said would make it possible for him to introduce and get voted on this coming week. It remains to be seen, however, whether the House of Representatives will accept the new bill, which is drastically different from the comprehensive climate-energy bill passed by the House last year.
Reid's bill does not put a price on carbon emissions, or mandate a percentage of renewable energy, or provide debt financing for clean energy, or subsidize electric vehicles, writes Kevin Book, energy analyst with ClearView Energy Partners, a Washington energy market research firm in a snap analysis of the bill. It also does not open new areas to offshore drilling.

Fort Lewis College has a passion for sustainability. From the time I took my first tour of Fort Lewis, more than four years ago, I have been impressed by how much students and teachers care about sustainability. I was lucky enough to qualify for a work-study position so I immediately went to the Environmental Center and applied for a job. I was so happy to get a position on the local food team where I got to both learn about the local food movement in Durango and do my part to promote local food.
The Environmental Center has two full-time paid professional coordinators and the rest is done by work study students and volunteers. The projects we do at the Environmental Center are totally student-driven. For example, when I was a sophomore, there was a group of students that wanted to get more local food into the dining hall. We are now a part of the Real Food Challenge. Our goal is to shift to buying 20% of the food in the dining hall locally and we've made great progress so far.
As a junior, I was able to work as the campus garden coordinator. What an amazing opportunity it was to plan and work the garden on campus for one season. There are so many small farms around Durango and it was great to get to know and work with these local farmers. We gave away the food that was grown in the campus garden. A large portion went to the on-campus student food bank called the Grub Hub, which was started by the Sociology Club on campus. We also gave a bunch of food to the Cooking Matters program that helps low income families learn to cook simple healthy meals.
This year a group of students at Environmental Center were successful in getting recycling bins into each of the rooms on campus. My favorite event that the Environmental Center puts on is the February Food Retreat. One hundred and seventy five students and community members participated in the event that resulted in the creation of a new Farmer Cooperative Association and a food distribution hub. We also serve a delicious totally locally sourced meal at the event.
To be able to practice my passion for sustainability through Fort Lewis and get connected with the people in this amazing community of Durango has been a major highlight of my college experience. If working towards a more sustainable future is a passion of yours then you will fit in at Fort Lewis. Not only will you be able to learn more about the issues we are facing, but you will be able to work with friends on making Fort Lewis and Durango a better place.

It's funny, b/c as i read the post, i notice things that the computer must have messed up on (for instance, "too" instead of "to") and thought it was amusing.
so are you saying that you are trying to get it to turn on with your voice? thats kinda cool. i really am in the darknes-ish about Vista, and really am unsure of getting the newer OS.
if vista typed your entire post with word recognition, i suppose it is pretty nifty. you could just say a report, then go back through and fix all the little grammatical errors. did you have to purchase any specialised programs, or does Vista come with it already?

Virco HCT Series Universal Stack Chair Dolly
Virco's rugged HCT4 is the ''4x4'' of chair trucks. Its four-wheel design, featuring heavy-duty polyolefin tires and ball bearing shafts, eases the operator's work load. The HCT4 moves and stores most Virco stack chairs, including Classic Series model 9018 plastic stack chairs and 8900 Series upholstered stack chairs with ease. Limited Lifetime, please see PDF for exclusions.
NOTE*: Safe Hand Truck Capacities: Unlike storage carts, which support the weight of the furniture entirely with structural steel, hand trucks rely on the strength of the operator to balance the load. For this reason, there is no single ''safe capacity'' for hand trucks. Conditions such as the size and strength of the operator, the weight of the furniture being moved, and the presence or absence of thresholds, ramps or slick surfaces can all affect the capacity of hand trucks. We recommend starting with small, easily handled loads and adding one or two pieces of furniture at a time to determine the safe capacity for each set of conditions. It's always better to make a few extra trips than to risk injury to yourself or others by overloading a hand truck. Remember, loaded hand trucks can be dangerous! Use common sense.

Sania Mirza bowls over cricket-mad India
Posted online: Thursday, February 17, 2005 at 1200 hours IST
New Delhi, February 17: Hundreds of cheering fans jostled past a bewildered guard into a stadium in India last Saturday for the final of a women's tennis tournament.
This rare response in the cricket-mad nation was caused by the unprecedented participation of an Indian teenager in the final of a WTA event in Hyderabad.
Sania Mirza did not disappoint, creating history by becoming the first Indian woman to capture a WTA singles title. In the process she has also cracked the top 100 in the rankings, rising to 99 this week.
The landmark victory came 46 years after Ramanathan Krishnan became the first Indian man to win a title, at London's Queen's Club.
The Hyderabad-based Mirza, 18, has become the toast of a country starved of sporting heroes with even Prime Minister Manmohan Singh personally congratulating her.
The domestic media provided saturation coverage as the unseeded player, braving thigh and ankle injuries, progressed through each round and then upset Ukraine's Alyona Bondarenko, the ninth seed.
Her performance whipped up such frenzy that the regional government is providing her with personal security to avoid her being mobbed by over-enthusiastic fans.
The articulate Mirza, who idolises German tennis great Steffi Graf, has also drawn wide attention outside the sporting world by wearing trendy glasses and multiple ear-rings, making her both a teen icon and an advertiser's dream.
She was ranked a modest 134 before the Hyderabad event and now has her sights set on breaking into the top 50.
"The encouragement we have received...has been tremendous," her delighted mother Naseema said.
"We were hoping she would reach the top 100 by this year-end. She has done that in two months. If she works hard, she can even touch top 50 this year."
Mirza captured the nation's imagination last month when she reached the Australian Open third round as a wildcard before losing to eventual winner Serena Williams.
Davis Cup doubles players Mahesh Bhupathi and Leander Paes have joined the chorus of praise for her.
"It's a great effort for an 18-year-old girl to do this in India," said Bhupathi, whose sports management firm manages Mirza.
"We can look forward to exciting times from her. Sania's strong point is she handles pressure very well," he told Reuters. "If you can do that in professional tennis, half the battle is won.
"This victory will spark huge interest in women's tennis in India."
Previously Indian male players have shone on the tour and in Davis Cup.
Krishnan and Vijay Amritraj were highly rated while Paes and Bhupathi are multiple doubles grand slam winners.
By contrast, Nirupama Vaidyanathan reaching the second round at the 1998 Australian Open had been the best effort by an Indian woman.
Daughter of a Hyderabad-based builder, Mirza showed early promise after being initiated into tennis as a six-year-old.
Her natural forehand and all-out aggression were unusual in Indian women tennis players who have in the past displayed a tendency for soft serves and tame baseline rallies.
Mirza's big boost came in 2002 when Paes decided to take her on as his mixed doubles partner at the Asian Games. The duo went on to claim the bronze medal.
The rise has been steady since then.
She won the Wimbledon girls doubles in 2003 alongside Russian Alisa Kleybanova and stints under respected tennis coach Bob Brett in Italy helped her improve both her game and fitness.
She has won 12 titles on the secondary ITF women's circuit, including five in 2004, before her encouraging Australian Open showing.
Now the Hyderabad victory has attracted many endorsement offers, but her parents are keen to keep the focus on tennis.
"We've got 20-22 offers but we'll take up only two or three. We don't want her wasting too much time doing ads," Naseema said.
Paes wants Mirza to maintain focus on her game and not be weighed down by her country's rising expectations.
"It's hard work, hard work and even more hard work. That is the only way to maximise her talent," he said.
For the moment, Mirza, nursing an ankle injury, has decided to put her feet up. But not for long.
Sania Mirza gets police cover
HYDERABAD: Sania Mirzas wild card entry into the circle of fame has acquired a wrinkle of worry with fans making it difficult for her to get back on even keel.

Just to keep her out of harms way, her mother Naseema Mirza has requested the city police to provide her round-the-clock security.
Naseema and Sports Authority of Andhra Pradesh (Saap) managing director Sumita Dawra met police commissioner Dinesh Reddy on Wednesday to seek protection for Sania.
Consequently, two armed police guards will shadow Sania wherever she goes in the state.
Sanias run of success has generated the sort of fan following enjoyed by the likes of film stars.
Even the 18-year-old seemed bemused by the rah-rah crowd that turned up to cheer her on at the Hyderabad WTA open last week.
Dawra confirmed meeting the police commissioner but said it was just a precautionary measure.
Nothing much should be read into it. She is having trouble going out and practising. As a precautionary measure we requested the commissioner to assign some security as her parents were a bit worried, she told The Times of India , here on Wednesday.
Imran Mirza, Sanias father, too downplayed the happening. Sania is having trouble going out to restaurants, etc. Basically she is being mobbed by autograph hunters, he said.
Sania Mirza seeks police protection
Feb. 16, 2005
Indian tennis sensation Sania Mirza has shot into fame so fast that she is unable to move about in public as she is recognised instantly even by those who are not tennis fans and pestered for autographs. All Hyderabadis are now her admirers as she has brought the city fame and name. Faced with the problem of crowds thronging arund Sania, her mother Naseema has asked city police commissioner V Dinesh Reddy for security, which has been immediately provided to Sania. Admirers have started bothering her day and night, not allowing her to even rest her injured knee. Her recent win in the WTA-Hyderabad Open has heightened the frenzy. Naseema on Wednesday approached Dinesh Reddy and explained the situation. She told him that some unknown persons had tried to scale the compound wall of their house recently. Reddy immediately appointed personal security officers for Sania round-the-clock. Security personnel from the city security wing would guard her house when she is at home and accompany her on her outings.

There are perlick specific locks but they are pricey. $40 or $50 each, IIRC. FWIW, unscrew the handle and the temptation to pull is reduced. The one you've pictured should work as there is a lip on the bottom of the faucet for the u-bolt to fit in. Of course, you could also affix a eyelet screw on the wall behind (if applies) and use a chain or strap. Not sure what stresses if any this might place on the faucet movement and seals.
I think you could get a lot of mileage out of a thin cable and a single padlock with 2 eyebolts. You might have to loosen up the tap nuts so that the cable fits in the groove. The ends of the cable go through an eyebot on the top of the tower and the down to another on the back. The padlock seals the deal.
Thinking outside the box... What if you made some kind of like a wooden box that would fit down over the whole tower enclosure and lock down to the kegerator? Same width as the kegerator. Eighteen inches high or so. Install an eyebolt both on the bottom of the box and the side of the kegerator so that you could lock it down if need be. Stain it up, make it look nice and purdy.
Electric fence charger???
Found the same locks on www.wasserstrom.com, too. They are manufactured by Perlick, so they better work. The price is a tiny bit higher than www.rapidswholesale.com, but the shipping is cheaper. Plus, rapids was going to charge me about $8 sales tax since they were a North Carolina business shipping to a North Carolina address.
those locks like cabinets and desks always use only a few keys if even more than one. but its kinda pricey to buy one just to have the key to schwipe beer from dad. why not just remove the handle and use a plate to secure it shut?

Hey juys! You may remember my work, Free Farming, which was one of the winners of Songs of the Summoned in 2011, which has a surprisingly large number of hits! Well some people have been asking for another parody, and although I missed the most recent competition, I wanted to write a new parody anyway! Anyone familiar with One Republic's All the Right Moves? Well, ladies and gentlemen, I now bring you....All the Right Wards. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4B-dlmIRYnY I hope you enjoy!

Very nice. I love both songs. Keep it up!
I got another one in the works about the love shared between Teemo and Lulu, spoofing on the song So Happy Together. ;D
Isn't it Veigar and Lulu?

I thought it was Trist and Teemo.
Just wait! All shall be revealed in time.

- Most active
- Publication
- Most clicked
Dec 21, 2012The productions are steeped in soul and R&B, offering a more upbeat and clean sound than the usual Wu murk and a Masta Killa companion to Ghostface's retro effort Ghostdini the Wizard of Poetry in Emerald City.
Dec 21, 2012With Selling My Soul, Masta Killa seems to have winged his way through songs that are lazy and conceptually not well put together.
Jan 7, 2013It's an indulgent side project and the monotony of the production is enough that the 'McKayla is Not Impressed' face may be unavoidable.
Jan 11, 2013["All Natural" is] the one song on the spotty, often comatose Selling My Soul that sounds like it needed to be made.
Dec 21, 2012Even with him covering just about every lyric here, this album never stagnates.
Mar 27, 2013It's an album with no direction, no cohesion and a striking lack of energy.
Dec 21, 2012Well-executed, fresh music from a member of Wu-Tang is always welcome, but perfunctory projects stuffed with filler are never a good look.
Jan 3, 2013The MC never feels particularly inspired on this disc, his momentum crashing after the first few tracks. [Jan-Feb 2013, p.93]

Congressional Research Service Reports
China: Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND) and Defense Industries
Date: December 3, 1997
Creator: Kan, Shirley A
Description: Congressional interest in the Chinese military, or People's Liberation Army (PLA), has increased as a result of the March 1996 tensions in the Taiwan Strait, continuing allegations of Chinese proliferation of technology useful in weapons of mass destruction, and reports that some Chinese defense-related corporations have circumvented U.S. export controls to acquire dual-use technology. The Commission of Science, Technology, and Industry for National Defense (COSTIND), an important, high-level PLA organization, plays a role in China's weapon programs, sales of civilian goods, acquisition of military technology, and arms sales and export controls. The purpose of this CRS Report is to examine the origins and command, roles, and influence of COSTIND.

China: Possible Missile Technology Transfers from U.S. Satellite Export Policy - Background and Chronology
Date: August 13, 1998
Creator: Kan, Shirley A
Description: Members of Congress are concerned about whether U.S. firms have provided technology or expertise to China for use in its ballistic missile program and whether a series of decisions by the Clinton Administration on satellite exports have facilitated legal or illegal transfers of missile-related technology to China. The New York Times reported in April 1998 that the Justice Department is conducting an ongoing criminal investigation into whether Loral Space and Communications (of New York), and Hughes Electronics (of Los Angeles) violated export control laws. The firms are alleged to have shared their findings with China on the cause of a Chinese rocket's explosion while launching a U.S.-origin satellite in February 1996. In sharing their conclusions, the companies are said to have provided expertise that China could use to improve its ballistic missiles, including their guidance systems. This CRS report provides detailed background information, significant Congressional action, and a comprehensive chronology. The events summarized here, based on various open sources and interviews, pertain to various aspects of U.S. foreign and security policy.
