Like I said I am being a bit of an a$$ on this one but that is a ton of stuff and soon we're gonna have a lot more lol!
I mean that is just the first of maybe one or more armories, so best save the room in the Bag of holding for Items we plan on keeping for ourselves. Haundo isn't trying to be deceptive to the militia and they are going to make out really well in the end.
I don't expect a portable hole anytime soon lol! I'm still trying to get one in my game with my dragonrider, hell that character doesn't even have a BoH xD. Hence why I grab every masterwork or magical item I can find that is useless to that group. But if we lose our BoH we will be a hurting unit~
That is why I like the Muleback Cords (+8 to carrying Capactiy - 1k gold in cost, arms slot) its a great item, other then that one is the Ring of Sustenance. those together are magnificent! :)
|Watcher Uatu
Fellas it seems I over estimated the handy haversack. I am going to retro it into a bag of holding 2(500 lbs. cap/70 cubic ft.). Anything that won't fit will be up to the party how to deal with it.
On another note:I may not be availible from the 4th to the 8th of November. If anything changes I will try to let you know.
|Saxton Quinn
Haundo, ya not being an A$$ just saying what you think, cool with that man.
All your points of the Bag of Holding are fine, it has a limited size (now bag of holding 2, and fitting pointy things in is a bad idea, but good packing can fix a lot. Good point about sharp things in a bag of holding forgot that. so ye some one has to carry the Arrows, bolts etc out. Food go's in now as that takes most space.
Your points about your Resistance guys being with us I missed, so me bad, I would say you can just ask them in the room one at a time to take the stuff woks the same way as you taking the stuff over umpteen rounds to them and faster, this means you can carry on game play with us and not have us waiting for you etc.
Now that the GM has pointed out this is the main Armory then its like other than small stuff this is all there is.
What I thought we where here for was to get stuff for the ships crew not city Resistance 1st and foremost. I wanted to keep the stuff we had for that, hand out to crew and then, keeping it back for the ones coming with us to give us a batter chance in the ship.
Really I thought that was why we where here, if however the guys with us 'are' the crew then ye my votes with handing out the Arms now to guys who will save us later,
But handing out this cash of arms to city and not crew, Saxton would think is a very bad idea.
Saxton knows that bows out at sea are give range and are of great use for the crew.
If how ever we you have made your mind up we are going to hand out all unclaimed loot to city Resistance then we also have the stuff from the Cyclopes, like a big old mwk Large greataxe and the like, that can go to your guys as well if your taking unused loot. But again the giving that to the crew may be better for the party in the long run.
|Andreas Merona
|Saxton Quinn
Thats what most do, so thinks can be made safe Andreas.
I think we need to party vote of handing away all unclaimed loot to the city Resistance, and not just have one player say "We do this" Haundo we cool with this.
I vote we keep the stuff for the ships crew and then hand what they do not want to the city Resistance after all our aim is to save them in the long run, so the better chance we have the better chance they have.
|Watcher Uatu
|Saxton Quinn
I just may have~
We promised Laden to help the resistance, hence why he lended us the militia in the first place.
After the fall of the learned this help extended to gathering supplies for not only ourselves but for the resistance as well. So Laden gave us another 10 men. These men are guarding our ship right now while these 20 are here for support and to ensure that we can gather all the items we seek in one go.
Right now though we are taking the best items for ourselves, which if any of us were lawful, would be a bit of a morale problem. But the resistance is only helping us because they expect a lot of these items to go to them. Which makes sense as some of us are not locals at all and are not really entitled to the cities goods, now Saxton's words have some merit but you have to look at it this way. Would you just let a group of warriors waltz into your town and take all your stuff, only to sail away and never return?
Anyway, lets perform the voting in the OOC and work it into the Gameplay thread at a later time so that we can continue with the story. My original problem was with the BoH which has been rectified and if this supply gathering results in a tense moment with the resistance then thats how the dice play out.
Haundo's vote
I say we gather the supplies, taking some of the better items for ourselves and leave the mundane, masterwork weapons and over all bulk of supplies to the resistance and allow Laden and his followers to grace us with items for our ship out of thanks for our aid.
Hell we could trade less useful items we find for said items and thus avoid a confrontation on an epic scale.
Thats my two cents. If its okay with you WAthcer lets get this game a rocking and we can discuss things here in OOC so weavoid slowing down any further as we appear to have lost Tobin and I don't want to lose any others. =/
|Watcher Uatu
I sent him a PM, but I got no reply so I am assuming he is gone.
For future reference if you are going to be without a connection like I might be next weekend send me a reminder or post it here about 3 days before the interruption, because I might forget and it may also get buried under other post, and I may miss it. It does not have to be exactly the 3 days, but at least no more than 7 days out. I will post my absent days again on Thursday, and if I can get to a wifi connection I will try to keep things going next weekend.
PS:If you decide to leave I won't interrogate you. All I ask for is a heads up. That way I know to write your character out of the story. For now I will assume Tobin walked outside, and nobody saw him leave amidst all the aruging about the monster that did not exist.
Yeah we can get back to the gamethread. :)
|Klor Kragsson
Klor's vote:
I have all that I my need at the moment anything extra goes to the people here. Klor already feels a littel upset that he needs to leave as he feels a bit of an obligation to help the people here. but he also understands the bigger goal.
|Andreas Merona
Looks like we can put together a list of items that are in "group stores" and available for use by each character.
Generally won't be a problem unless two people are wanting to use the same kit at the same time.
And we won't really need to consider distributing to individuals until and unless we leave the ship, since it is a rather small and enclosed environment.
|Saxton Quinn
Into the pot gos
The loot Saxton has.
1 manual on ship operation-->These give you a +2 on any checks related to piloting a ship. It takes one hour to look over the book, and the bonus stays in place for 8 hours. After that you must read the book again.
Wooden box (held 4 potions of lesser restoration now split)
Tower Shield magical +1
10 light crossbows
4 heavy crossbows
299 bolts
4 MW strength +2 composite longbows.
6 MW strength +1 composite longbows.
123 arrows.
100 food rations

So we have ten kits, I had made these as suggestions:
crafting kits for leather-working, carpentry, trap-making, sewing, cooking, bookbinding, jewelry, and fishing.
Should we double up on a couple? like carpentry? any other ideas?
|Andreas Merona
|Saxton Quinn
|Klor Kragsson
crafting kits for armor and weapons would be good.
I think your rate of transport is a bit off, we could swim faster than that.
At the stated rate of 6 miles per eight hours, to go 780 miles will take 130 shifts. Assuming our crew was actually able to manage 8 hours on, 8 hours off in rotating shifts for the entire trip, it would take 43 days to travel 780 miles.
I don't recall what style ship we had, but if it has sails and oars, I'm thinking something like a viking longship or a small trireme. Ships with oars generally had crews in the hundreds and were not long distance travel ships.
A longship had an average speed of 5-10 knots, and could do 15 in favorable conditions, which equates to about 8-15 miles per hour. A Karvi is the smallest longship, it had 6-16 rowing benches, typically. This ship was primarily used for fishing an dsmall trade.
A snekkja was typically about 50 feet long and carried a crew of 41 for the oars.
Note that the sail was used for long distance travel and open water while the sails were used for rivers, harbors, short bursts of speed, and when the wind was too light for the sail.
I was thinking we had something more like a caravel, primarily sail powered, and with a much lower crew requirement.
Having a rowing ship small enough for just the 20 of us, would also severely limit cargo space, requiring as much of the journey as possible be coastal for frequent resupply.
Just my $.02

It seems my math was off. Traveling at top speed the boat should be able to go 144 miles a day.
The crew requirement is only 8, if you want people to row during the times the wind is not with you.
Windpower(sails) gives max speed, not rowing. I had them mixed up.
You have room for 50 tons of cargo or 100 people. :)
|Watcher Uatu
Have a good one Klor, hope everything goes okay and see you in a few my bearded friend :)!
So Haundo doesn't have either of those skills and so I don't think he can even aid another. He can aid in helping around the ship and being an extra sword during the 3rd shift. Especially because of his Darkvision. :)

Saxton walks about the ship, being some thing that never sleeps has a down side, long nights of nothing to do. The Prof always in his books, De'ohge, Andreas and Haundo, also ways seem to have thing they needed to do. But he was just a spear port here, Master Kragsson was ill most days, Saxton had looked into helping him but not having a clue how to help a sea sick dwarf well, what could he do but play cards with him when the sea was not to high. It was good to be away from that City of the dead, He has never been a brave man, but he had he felt acted brave back there. This was a shock to him, most of his life he had just run from trouble. Being a life long cynic tended to make him see the pointlessness of it all. Age dos that but in side he always felt 18. Looking out that the sky of stars he could not help but feel small. O well small some times is nice.
|Watcher Uatu
The game is officially back in play...I do have a Virtual Tabletop game going on tonight, but starting tomorrow I should be able to check in several times a day to move things alone.
With that being said there is an opening in another game next month, but I am not the GM...
The time slot is 9pm to 1AM Eastern Standard Time....
If anyone is interested PM me. We are using roll20. The game is Way of the Wicked...
|Saxton Quinn
|Watcher Uatu
I have not logged into the site for over a week I think, and I don't believe its fair to the group.
I am dropping out of all the games I am playing in.
I am the GM for this one so I will give the group a vote.
I can go to posting every other day until other things are cleared, and that may last for weeks, but I also understand if you wish to call the campaign. There will be no hard feelings either way.
I will check in again in about 48 hours to see what everyone has to say.
|Saxton Quinn
All In, if things get too hectic then just quit posting for awhile Watcher until you get your head back on straight. Or someone could take over this game until your ready to come back. A co DM if you will. Up To you :)
|Andreas Merona
|Klor Kragsson
I would rather take a break than a slow down. never know things may clear up later.
in any event I ahve had a reduction in many of my games I am in some by my choice other from others choices. but I am still looking to eventually DM here my only problem is mapping.
just can't get the hang of making the maps and how to organize and or keep them user friendly.
google docs can be a pain at times.

Scamp trailers have been around since 1972. Their lightweight aerodynamic design
makes them very popular, especially with the cost of fuel prices today.
You can actually tow them with small cars. They are made with a hard shell fiberglass
that gives their design a kind of modern vibe that looks current today.
You can find vintage Scamps or the company does a build to order from the factory.
Here is the link on where to purchase them direct
and another link for owners who are interested in joining a Scamp owner club.
I found this 2004 for sale on ebay, just in case you are interested.

SCOT Scleroderma Treatment Alternative Registry (STAR Registry)

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
The Scleroderma Cyclophosphamide Or Transplant (SCOT) Trial is a Phase II/III interventional trial comparing two treatments for early, severe scleroderma. These two interventions are high dose immunosuppressive therapy followed by autologous stem cell transplantation and monthly high dose pulse cyclophosphamide (the later for 12 doses). While standard of care might be considered the optimal control arm for a trial such as this one, no such standard of care is available for the population of scleroderma patients defined by the eligibility criteria for this trial. The rheumatologists on the protocol team believe that the SCOT cyclophosphamide regimen represents the best control arm for this study. However, given concerns over use of a treatment arm as a control that has not been established as a standard of care, this registry was established. The registry will be a prospective, observational study of subjects with severe systemic sclerosis (SSc) who are eligible to participate in the Scleroderma Cyclophosphamide or Transplantation (SCOT) Study but are denied insurance coverage or decline to participate prior to randomization. Subjects will be accrued over the same period as the SCOT study. Subjects will follow the course of treatment prescribed by their treating physician with no interference from the registry.
The primary purpose of this study is to document the disease course and outcome in a group of participants who are eligible for the SCOT study, but declined to participate, in order to determine whether their outcome is better, worse, or no different than those who participate in the treatment phase of the trial.

|Estimated Primary Completion Date:
|September 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Participants with severe systemic sclerosis who are eligible for the SCOT study, but decline to participate, will be invited to participate in this sub-study
Behavioral: Telephone Call
Participants will receive telephone calls every 3 months for approximately 44 months for the purpose of outcome surveys
Detailed Description:
For multiple reasons, the SCOT investigators and the sponsor of the SCOT trial, the Division of Allergy, Immunology, and Transplantation (DAIT) of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), determined that it is important to track the course of a 'matched' group of patients, who are not exposed to these treatments but receive currently available therapy in the community. First, such a group will provide information to determine if the SCOT entry criteria do indeed identify these high-risk individuals. More importantly, such a group of patients is likely to be treated with a variety of medical regimens, including some immunosuppressive therapy with cyclophosphamide or other immunosuppressive agents that may modify the natural history of the disease. In evaluating the relative efficacy of the two treatment regimens, it will be important to assess whether outcomes in the subjects treated under the SCOT protocol have outcome profiles that differ from those associated with the matched group of patients treated in the community. One readily available group that meets these criteria are those individuals who are otherwise eligible for the SCOT trial but fail to be randomized because they either decline to participate or are denied insurance coverage to receive the SCOT treatment regimens.
The duration of this trial is 44 months. Participants will be enrolled over the same period as the SCOT trial. Participants will follow the course of treatment prescribed by their treating physician with no interference from the registry. All participant contact, including obtainment of informed consent and telephone interview regarding outcome measurements will be performed by SCOT study personnel at the University of Texas, Houston (one of the SCOT transplant centers). Participants will be contacted by phone every 3 months to determine vital status, record medical and other therapy, and administer the modified Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (S-HAQ). Medical records will be obtained to verify self-reported medical events.
The primary outcomes of interest include: death, renal failure requiring dialysis, and pulmonary compromise requiring oxygen, pulmonary hypertension requiring treatment. In addition the following will be recorded: medical therapies and procedures (including hospitalizations), scleroderma renal crisis, and functional status as determined by the modified Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire.
The primary endpoint for this study, which is designed to be similar to the endpoint for the SCOT study, is event-free survival (EFS) at 44 months after subject enrollment. The events will be defined as any one of the following:
- Death.
- Respiratory failure defined as the need for supplementary oxygen; or
- Renal failure, as defined by chronic dialysis > 6 months or renal transplantation.
The secondary endpoints include:
- Mortality
- Medical therapy
- Occurrence of scleroderma renal crisis with outcome (dialysis requiring or not)
- Diagnosis and treatment for pulmonary hypertension;
- Need for hyperalimentation;
- Amputation whether surgical or auto-amputation
- Modified Scleroderma Health Assessment Questionnaire (m-HAQ/S-HAQ);
- Hospitalization or surgery.
|Ages Eligible for Study:

I merged the two threads you had and kept it in the SF forum, no need to have multiple threads with the same discussion, keep it all centralized.
Printable View
I merged the two threads you had and kept it in the SF forum, no need to have multiple threads with the same discussion, keep it all centralized.
Dan Simmons' Hyperion, Miller's A Canticle for St. Liebowitz, Clarke's 2001, Flowers for Algernon, Asimov's Foundation, The Walking Dead, etc., you can pretty much find it throughout. And that's why the books are not escapist for readers. They're fun, but so are contemporary dramas and comedies and historical novels that don't contain speculative elements. Those unreal elements are tools mostly to put characters in heightened, extreme circumstances (including magic realism, near future SF and the rest,) where they face issues that may greatly change their perspective of their surroundings and themselves, as can be done with suspense, westerns, high drama, etc. And that's thought for us. The most comic princess adventure story, the sappiest romance, doesn't take us out of our own world; it just shifts the focus in a symbolic way and lets us explore in a different, altered direction. It can get very cultural if the author wants to explore a specific aspect of current culture, like environmental post-apocalypse SF stories or Charles Stross' Rule 34. Or it may simply be speculative or a combo.
So you could use reflection as the umbrella idea, but it sounds like you're trying to not limit them too much in their research agendas (to teach them how to research and make an argument which is cool.) But you may want to limit it to stories in which there is a world that is distinct and separate from our current world or alternate versions of our current world. That would include portal and multiverses and post-apocalypses, SF stories set in a future substantially different from now, pretty much all secondary world fantasy stories, journeys to hidden lands, journeys to hells or lands of the dead, etc.
An alternative, if you would rather not narrow it down, would be to concentrate on immersion. In most SF/F/H, the main character(s) become immersed in a world different from what he or she knew before. This includes many contemporary fantasies where the person learns about things that have been hidden or learns more about things that they weren't that familiar with before. They enter into new societies. Secondary world fantasies do this with main characters encountering lands, cultures, or circumstances new to them, immersing the character in that world. SF in near future still does the same thing -- how do scientists deal with a computer that has become self-aware, or with a virus that is mutating or an expedition to a planet made of mainly graphite and diamond, etc. The character moves from what was known before to what has not been known, one world to another.
This is essentially what psikey tends to go on about. He believes having a hard SF story in which a main character is immersed in science ideas and introducing those early on in education illuminates those worlds of science and inquiry for young readers.
KCF -- There was only a brief period in the early 1990's when contemporary fantasy novels were not plentiful, which had more to do with book economics and the Great Paperback Depression than cultural factors. The increase in contemporary fantasy titles was chiefly the result of Anne Rice -- who started her run before the Wall came down, Laurell K. Hamilton, Neil Gaiman and a few others who did well or caused comment (such as Emma Bull's Territory) in the 1990's. The number of contemporary fantasy titles in the late 1990's were quite large, the number of paranormal romance titles with contemporary settings also got quite large then. It, however, takes a few years for most people to notice. By 2004, a cluster of hit authors allowed for further expansion, which coincided with expansions in horror (fueled largely by film stuff,) paranormal romance and romance altogether, and all other areas of fantasy -- historical, comic, secondary world and of course, YA. But the beginning of the expansion would more accurately be 1997. Secondary world hasn't dropped off (except in the sense that all fiction authors have seen declines of their individual sales which again is due to book distribution issues, the collapse of the wholesale market and other market factors,) and has been helped in expansion by the expansion of contemporary fantasy and YA fantasy. I'm not saying 9/11 has not effected individual titles, and it definitely reinvigorated spy thrillers, but the lure of contemporary fantasy, particularly urban fantasy, is not politics but the suspense market. Noir is a perennial.
It's hard to address every point here, but if I may critique, I feel you are attaching your *own* interpretation of "escapism;" one that has negative connotation. (Which is of course many informed SF/F readers' position on the word, including my own....usually.) But when I cast the word in the prompt, I don't mean it for any philosophy other than the verb itself, escape, and I think giving the students freedom to interpret that word themselves and deciding whether it should be a negative or positive thing is worth seeking, perhaps even spending a great deal of time on. The word itself is loaded. While I recall writing a response on "escapism" -- to an old professor who disliked SF/F -- as an uninformed way to dismiss the genre, going on how SF/F elements are tools for exploring otherwise un-explorable ideas (which is still my opinion today), I recently read a psych-related article on dissociation by Martha Stout called, "When I Woke Up, It Was Tuesday," and it made me think that escapism could be a good thing as well, or is at least not necessarily devaluing anything. Do you see what I mean? I will now definitely consider the word choice.
Yes, and basically I agree with you. Your students certainly could explore escapism as a theme, depending on the parameters you set for the course. But escapism in the context of SF/F/H scholarship does have a particular meaning and so could cause some confusion. Of course, there are a lot of confusing terms in SF/F/H.

There are three units in NGRL that support the NPGS. The Database Management Unit (DBMU) develops and operates the Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN). This database maintains electronic information on the germplasm collections at more than twenty NPGS genebanks throughout the US. Genebank staff use GRIN in the daily management of their collections, about which detailed information is displayed in a public website accessible worldwide through the internet. DBMU also provides similar, but less comprehensive, support for ARS insect, microbial, and animal germplasm programs by operating or hosting information management systems for these collections. The Plant Exchange Office (PEO) arranges domestic and foreign plant explorations and exchanges that increase the quantity and quality of NPGS holdings. They help identify gaps in the collections and study the natural history and in situ maintenance of crop plants and their progenitors. PEO is also responsible for GRIN-Taxonomy, which is regarded as the international standard for the nomenclature of agriculturally important plants. PEO arranges for the agricultural inspection of many NPGS distributions to foreign countries. The Plant Disease Research Unit (PDRU) conducts greenhouse and laboratory research on plant pathogens of quarantine significance. They study the biology of quarantine diseases and develop improved methods to detect and eliminate quarantine pathogens, primarily from clonally propagated plant germplasm. This directly benefits both the USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service and the NPGS through research that supports the safe international movement of plant germplasm.

If this is the case, it seems to suggest that all of us should be focusing on patent reform. The patent system was intended to encourage both innovation and the publication of that innovation. This situation sounds seriously dysfunctional. What can we do about it?
For reference, the USPTO's budget is based on the number of patents/trademarks granted. Their attitude is, when in doubt, issue the patent and then let the courts sort it out. Not exactly the innovation resource our founders had in mind...
@twriter, Bridgman, agd5f
Now that AMD has officially presented the Radeon HD 8000 GPU line
will we see the first programming docs soon?
Here it is.
I am very sorry if it might feel obtrusive, its not meant to be - but this is 7000 thread and the question you rised is beyond scope and with different importance.
Thank you entropy, bridgeman, agd5f!
Please discuss all about 8000 opensource in this new topic.
Get back to that thread, you're breakin the rulz...

|On the Bezdek--Pach Conjecture for Centrally Symmetric Convex Bodies
The Bezdek--Pach conjecture asserts that the maximum number of pairwise touching positive homothetic copies of a convex body in $\Re^d$ is $2^d$. Nasz\'odi proved that the quantity in question is not larger than $2^{d+1}$. We present an improvement to this result by proving the upper bound $3\cdot2^{d-1}$ for centrally symmetric bodies. Bezdek and Brass introduced the one-sided Hadwiger number of a convex body. We extend this definition, prove an upper bound on the resulting quantity, and show a connection with the problem of touching homothetic bodies.
Keywords:Bezdek--Pach Conjecture, homothets, packing, Hadwiger number, antipodality

Comments: Great glove, I love the contoured fit a well as the memory foam inside the glove. Everything seems perfect but for some reason my pair is balling up in the palm like lint not sure if i got a lemon or if its supposed to be like that.
From: Brandon
Comments: I love these gloves. Felt great the first time I used them and still do after many games. They haven't broken down at all and still look new. Good fit Light weight Very protective No break in time Durable 10/10
From: Stephen, CA
Comments: Very nice bauer. Bought these to replace my x60's and i like these a heck of alot better. They offer more protection and are snugger to my hands which gives me great feel for my stick and the puck. Also the palm material is very strong and durable.
From: Bailey, GA
Comments: Great gloves replaced my old eagles with these and have to say these are good to go out of the box, totally broken in feeling, great protection took a slash in game and barely felt it. I definetly recommend these for anyone who wants a form fitting glove. Cant speak highly enough also next day delevery free from IW is legit thanks boys you have a customer for life!
From: Matt, CA
Comments: Amazing Glove. Stiffens up after drying the loosens during play.
From: Marcus, Burnaby, Canada
Comments: These are extremely comfortable. They are moisture wicking and the fit is perfect. Best glove ever
From: Kyle, CA
Comments: Bought these as a replacement for my Reebok 4 roll type gloves. Bauer quality has been obvious from the first use. They are lighter, snugger and provide reassurance with regards protection. Have tried numerous manufactures of gloves, to date these are the best.
From: Jim, Scotland, UK
Comments: I've had a pair for 8 months, playing 1-2 games each week. These gloves have been reasonably durable, with no problems. I tried on many gloves and loved the fit, even compared to the One 80s. No complaints.
From: Brian, San Diego, CA
Comments: These gloves not only feel fantastic but also are super durable. The Contoured fit allows you to have great dexterity and feel in your fingers and palms which still having enough room around the wrists for mobility. The reinforced palms and thumb make this glove last for a very long time. I play 3-5 games a week and have had these gloves for over 6 months. So far, there is visible wear in the palm and thumb but all of the seams are intact and still no full blown holes yet. Best pair of gloves I've ever purchased.
From: Rob, San Jose, CA
Comments: I play D5 beer league hockey (lowest rec hockey skill level we have locally) twice a week and an occasion pick-up game for a 3rd day. I purchased these gloves back in March of this year (2012). About two months ago, the seam on one of the index finger pads started to come apart. This week, I noticed another seam on the outside of my hand below the pinky starting to unravel as well. These gloves have been great for protection and feel, but the workmanship is poor. I expected a set of $150 gloves to last me a few years at least before they start to fall apart, not 6 months. I love these gloves, but will replace them with another brand when they wear out.
From: Jonathon, San Diego
Comments: These gloves are fantastic! Prior to these, I was wearing Bauer 4-Rolls. Great gloves, but a little short. So, I actually felt a little vulnerable to slashes. Plus, with just a little contact, the gloves actually fell off a couple times. A little too short and loose for my liking. So...enter the Supreme Total One gloves. I had never worn a contoured glove before. Wow - what a difference! Very form fitting and snug without being tight. The memory foam isn't just marketing hype either - these gloves get more comfortable every time I wear them. They have all the protection you need, but aren't restrictive in the least. Durability, protection, performance and comfort - everything I could ask for and more. I'm VERY happy with this purchase. WELL worth the money!
From: Matt, IA
Comments: Nice and form fitting compared to my old Bauer 4-rolls which were a traditional fit. With addition with the memory foam along with the Thermo Max liner throughout the back of the whole hand, the TotalOne gloves are one of the most comfortable gloves I've had. Great protection with the Max Sorb technology. The Nubuck palm has a great feel for the stick and has not balled up inside after three months of wear. Overall great gloves and would recommend to others.
From: Leo
Comments:Best glove EVER!! I have tried almost every make and model of hockey glove and this is by far the best fitting glove on the market today!!
From: Lee
Comments:i have had the t1s since they first came out... the palms on the inside feel very crunchy and almost like the nubuck is "balling" up on the inside other than that they are amazing
Comments: Bought these as a replacement for my Reebok 4 roll type gloves.

Dover McDonald's manager wins Ray Kroc award
Tuesday, April 30, 2013
DOVER — Melissa Brundage, General Manager of McDonald's in Dover, was selected for the "Ray Kroc" award. This award is given to the top 1% of restaurant managers and is named after founder Ray Kroc.
— Melissa was recognized for her contribution to Special Olympics of New Hampshire. During each year there are regional events and the Dover McDonald's supplies meals to athletes, coaches and volunteers at those events. In June, the Special Olympics brings participants from across the state to the University of New Hampshire to compete. Melissa and her team are responsible for producing and overseeing more than 2,000 meals that Saturday for the athletes, coaches and volunteers to enjoy during the competition.
Owner Sal Napoli said "We are extremely proud of Melissa and impressed with her ability, drive to succeed and total dedication to McDonald's and The Napoli Group."
Area supervisor Larry Johnston said "Melissa is the perfect representative to be chosen for this prestigious award and we are honored to have her as part of our team."
Melissa said "When I was notified that I had won the Ray Kroc award, I couldn't even put my excitement into words. I've been working within the McDonald's organization for 20 years now, and it has been an amazing experience growing with this company. I'm thrilled to work for a company that strives to do so much for our local community."

Darwin Day Celebration is a Highlight Event for Philadelphia's YEAR OF EVOLUTION
14 JANUARY 2009, PHILADELPHIA, PA— Charles Robert Darwin, the world-renowned author of On the Origin of Species—and the originator of the modern theory of evolution—has his 200th birthday in February, and the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology celebrates it in style, with the third annual free Darwin Day and Evolution Teach In Sunday, 15 February 2009 from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m.
The free afternoon program features short "teach in" talks in galleries by renowned experts, curator-led tours of Penn Museum's National Science Foundation-funded evolution exhibition Surviving, The Body of Evidence, and a physical anthropologist's "touchables" corner with casts of hominid skulls and other bones. An "Origins" scavenger hunt, a family program on dinosaurs, a game of Evolutionary Twister, an orchid display, and the opportunity to play some badminton, reputedly a favorite pastime of the evolutionary thinker, are also part of the afternoon. Darwin himself (or a reasonable likeness) promises to make an appearance to enjoy the festivities—and partake of the free birthday cake!

Painted Metaphors runs through 31 January 2010, before beginning a multi-city national tour.
Like so many pieces of the famous Chama pottery that conservators meticulously put back together at the Penn Museum, Painted Metaphors yields new clues to understanding everyday life—and changing politics—of the ancient Maya of Guatemala 1,300 years ago.

04 JANUARY 2002, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Discovery of grisly evidence of strangulation and decapitation, and bizarre arrangements of human and animal bones, has solved the longstanding mystery about the Celtic presence at Gordion, Turkey, where the University of Pennsyvlania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology has been excavating since 1950. The chronologically rich site, long renowned as the capital of Phrygia in the 8th century B.C. and the center from which the famed King Midas once ruled, is about 60 miles southwest of Ankara in central Turkey.

Anthropologist Peggy Reeves Sanday Seeks to Redefine the Meaning of Matriarchy In Women at the Center, New Book Detailing Her Research among the Minangkabau
01 MAY 2002, PHILADELPHIA, PA—For the last century, historians, anthropologists and other scholars have searched both human history and the continents to find a matriarchy-a society where the power was in the hands of women, not men. Most have concluded that a genuine matriarchy does not exist, perhaps may never have existed.
Anthropologist Peggy Reeves Sanday disagrees. After years of research among the Minangkabau people of West Sumatra, Indonesia, she has accepted that group's own self-labeling, as a "matriarchate," or matriarchy. The problem, she asserts, lies in Western cultural notions of what a matriarchy "should" look like-patriarchy's female-twin.

First Example Ever Found of These Special-Use Bricks, Known from Ancient Texts to be Used in Childbirth
01 JULY 2002, PHILADELPHIA, PA—University of Pennsylvania Museum archaeologists have discovered a 3700-year-old "magical" birth brick inside the palatial residence of a Middle Kingdom mayor's house just outside Abydos, in southern Egypt. The colorfully decorated mud birth brick-the first ever found-is one of a pair that would have been used to support a woman's feet while squatting during actual childbirth.

Symposium Offered in Celebration of "Worlds Intertwined: Etruscans, Greeks, and Romans," Permanent New Suite of Classical World Galleries
28 FEBRUARY 2003, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Etruscan civilization, the preeminent culture of central Italy from 800-100 BC, has attracted a renaissance of interest among scholars and the public in recent years. From the Etruscan alphabet and the language, to the furnishings, architecture, fashion and city planning initiatives, these inventive pre-Roman people have left an enduring legacy. They shocked Greeks and Romans with the freedom of their women, their technological prowess, and their control of the sea—and then gradually lost it all to Rome's military campaigns. Yet, with little in the way of actual Etruscan texts preserved, the cultural artifacts that remain—strange, beautiful, sometimes seductive or frightening—pose challenges to archaeologists and historians eager to tease out a better understanding of the Etruscan contributions to the Roman culture that eventually subsumed them.

Find Provides New Insight into Widespread Trade, Cultural Exchange in Region
03 JUNE 2003, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Excavating at the ancient town of Gilund in southern Rajasthan, India, one of the largest sites of the little-known Ahar-Banas culture, archaeologists led by teams from the University of Pennsylvania Museum and Deccan College, Pune, India have discovered a bin filled with more than 100 seal impressions dating to 2100-1700 B.C. The existence of the seals, and their particular styles, offer surprising new evidence for the apparent complexity of this non-literate, late and post-Indus Civilization-era culture, according to Dr. Gregory Possehl, UPM curator and excavation co-director.

16 JANUARY 2004, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The Indus Civilization: A Contemporary Perspective, a new book by Dr. Gregory Possehl, Asian Section Curator of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, has been awarded the prestigious Choice Magazine Award for Outstanding Academic Book for 2003.
A leading expert in the history and archaeology of the ancient Indus Civilization, Dr. Possehl has been engaged in archaeological research in India and Pakistan since 1964. His research interests have taken him from Iron Age megaliths to Mesolithic encampments, and he has directed excavations at Rojdi in Gujarat and, currently, Gilund in southern Rajasthan, India. In addition to his curatorial position at UPM, Dr. Possehl is Professor of Anthropology at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dig at Abydos Yields Important Discoveries About Egypt's First Dynasty
25 MARCH 2004, PHILADELPHIA, PA—The practice of sacrificial burials at First Dynasty (ca. 2950-2775 BC) royal tombs and enclosures has been suggested by Egyptologists since the late 19th century but never proved. However, archeologists working in the desert sands of Abydos, Egypt - more than eight miles from the river Nile - have uncovered strong evidence to suggest that the custom did exist. Moreover, recent excavations have also discovered two new mortuary enclosures - and the royal owner of one has been positively identified.

01 JANUARY 2005, PHILADELPHIA, PA—Chemical analyses of ancient organics absorbed, and preserved, in pottery jars from the Neolithic village of Jiahu, in Henan province, Northern China, have revealed that a mixed fermented beverage of rice, honey, and fruit was being produced as early as 9,000 years ago, approximately the same time that barley beer and grape wine were beginning to be made in the Middle East.
In addition, liquids more than 3,000 years old, remarkably preserved inside tightly lidded bronze vessels, were chemically analyzed. These vessels from the capital city of Anyang and an elite burial in the Yellow River Basin, dating to the Shang and Western Zhou Dynasties (ca. 1250-1000 B.C.), contained specialized rice and millet "wines." The beverages had been flavored with herbs, flowers, and/or tree resins, and are similar to herbal wines described in the Shang dynasty oracle inscriptions.

Fashion Design with a Minor in Business and Textiles
To complement my fashion design major, I am working on a double minor in business and textile design. I am focused on working in the fashion design industry after graduation.
The course work for both minors helped to set me apart from other fashion design students competing for internships. As a textile design minor, I learned how to digitally make prints and map them into flats for use in the industry. This knowledge helped me get an internship at Abercrombie & Fitch. Once there, I was able to apply what I've learned in my business classes in production meetings.
My minors and required internship have already paid off – I've been offered a full-time position with Abercrombie & Fitch, where I completed my required internship! I am excited to start this new job after graduation in May.

Blueberry Crumb Coffeecake
Last week the food blogging sphere was filled with some amazing looking blueberry coffeecakes which was perfect timing as I had recently found some blueberries in my freezer. I decided to go with this recipe as it is one of my favorites for baked goods like this. I like that it uses lots of good stuff like whole wheat flour and rolled oats. I even used whole wheat flour in to make the crumb topping. The banana and yogurt keep the coffeecake nice and moist while also cutting down on the amount of butter required. Maple goes really well with blueberries and it finished this coffeecake off perfectly. I added even more maple flavour by using maple sugar in the crumb topping instead of regular sugar. The maple blueberry crumb coffeecake turned out amazing! It was nice and light and moist and full of maple and blueberry flavour. Now I am looking forward to eating this coffeecake for breakfasts all week.

Discussion in 'Political Discussion' started by Ilikehappyppl, Feb 19, 2013.
Dow and S&P close at new 5-year highs - Feb. 19, 2013
We are right on track...
We are? Or the stock market is?
I'm not trying to rain on any good news, but has hiring picked up at all?
I know my employer is still on their 2 year hiring freeze and will be through this year....but what do i know.
The investor class is doing the happy dance..
I guess that is sorta my point D.
It's really sweet that the stock market (and businesses?) are doing well (5 year highs).
But is that really manifesting itself into jobs, pay etc etc etc etc.
Again, not trying to rain on any good news. Just doesn't seem to be making it from Wall St. to Main.
Hiring has been steady, that's not the markets fault that's our congresses fault. Imo hiring would of been a ton better the last few months if congress would get its act together and pass things that need passing and work on things that need worked on. Instead they're posturing and playing chicken and see who gonna cave first, instead of working things out like adults.
Either way things are on the up swing, I've been saying it since the election and was thinking it long before, I don't know how to explain it but life is about waves, its just how it works...some bigger then others and some smaller.We are on the upswing IMO at the moment.
Housing is up and at new highs, stock market is up, jobs are steady and if these idiots in Washington can get their acts together maybe will shoot out of this long downturn. Either way, steady growth might be a good thing in some aspects, if the highs aren't as high, the lows aren't as low...
Great point....the stock market isn't the economy. But at least both are over-inflated.
Here's the catch of the day regarding what is driving stocks higher. It's mergers!! And what happens when mergers increase? Jobs are lost, that's what happens!
US STOCKS-M&A deals lift shares, suggest value in market - Yahoo! Finance
54% of Americans own stock.....87% of those making $75k or more own stocks.
Are 401ks included in that percentage?
Ahh good ole merger talk. Apparently my employer will be "merging" with another competitor come the summer.
Ill just keep plugging along to help ensure I am not one of the "duplicate" types.
Understood happy. Agreed across the board with your post.
I guess to further my point - if the market was a solid indicator then "at a 5 year high" being driven by something tangible, then there would be more spikes in the hiring.
If my employer is any type of barometer, they have been and will continue to do "more with less".
The only thing that sucks is mid level types like myself (AVP) get worked to the bone, as there "is a resource issue", yet the higher ups hit their head count budgets (ensuring their bonuses).
I guess that's how the corporate cookie crumbles
I thought Wall St was the bad guy? Shouldn't we tax these evil corporate entities! Or is it that the only true industry America has left is exchanging money, a transacting middle man unable to create something tangible.
Yup, they sure are...
Oh? Cool. My old corporation should be giving their peeps that modest cost-of-living raise again any day now for the first time since 2008, per their contract.
Ooops, nope. Still nothing.
Gosh, I wonder how much further the cost of everything else vital to basic human survival is gonna rise before that flat-line in pay ever budges again.
Ah well. Growth isn't over or anything. Just look at the Dow!
Lets source this claim.. as apparently you are too lazy to do so..
Having a mutual fund or IRA hardly classifies you as being part of the investor class..
Perhaps this is what you refer to..
In U.S., 54% Have Stock Market Investments, Lowest Since 1999
I wonder what percent of Americans own new Mercedes Benz's?
And the answer is?
Who cares! No one, that's who!
I don't trust the market right now and have no faith in it. The house of cards might be getting taller for the time being, but it's still a house of cards.
History has shown us that the higher and faster the stock market balloons, the bigger & harder the fall that follows. I'm not predicting anything, I'm just stating fact.
Pretty much, and guess who's set up to win from that scenario.
I didn't realize alvinnf posted in size 5, bold, red font.....
Otherwise, I might have missed it!
It's good that the market is doing well, but lets not forget that the market was also doing real well in 1987, 2000, 2007...
Indeed they are. They can thank the printed money pumping by the fed, the price for which we peons will all eventually pay, and the lack of ways to earn a return anywhere else.
I'm just curious, in your view, where is congress at fault? What should they be doing specifically?
Yes it does.
Bingo. Sadly, they can only do it with the help of the fed, who is printing money nonstop, on the taxpayers back, and using it to buy up worthless mortgage backed securities. Good times.
Preach it Brother! :rocker:
Separate names with a comma.
