Comments about 3,200 PSI 2.8 GPM Gas Pressure Washer:
I bought this to maintain my deck, but have found it convenient to use in many other areas of our yard (masonary, siding, gutters, cars, driveway, etc.)
It starts up easily and maintains the pressure very well.

The name says it all... I just hate everything about blood elves. It's so bad, I refuse to heal Blood Elf tanks in raiding, which is getting to be an issue...
The name says it all... I just hate everything about blood elves. It's so bad, I refuse to heal Blood Elf tanks in raiding, which is getting to be an issue...
This is the most retarded thing i've read... Like for real, will you not heal someone, because of there race .............................
Nazis called, they want there racism back.
No one hates elves more than me , I can assure you that.
But when playing , since I am a good player, I always do my job perfectly.
I may complain after about everything wrong they did.
Your second thread... and it's the same topic! Seriously, no one cares if you hate blood elves.
Press ESC > Exit Game .... and never look back. Clearly WoW isn't healthy for you.
LotRO - Zhira @ Snowbourn - L95 Man Burglar
Rift - Zhira @ Zaviel - L60 Guardian Rogue
WoW - Zhilas @ Draenor - L90 Goblin Rogue
"...some cheese for your whine ?"
so are you asking for opinions on how to get over your hatred or is the title just there for show?
Well, the first thing I'd recommend trying is getting it through your head that Blood elves aren't real. They're polygons and textures, same as any race you play, and well.. refusing to heal/assist one simply because its a belf is probably one of the most retarded things I've ever read. Like, ever.
Stop playing or see a psychiatrist. Hating a fictional race that much is just messed up and clearly will lead to ruining people's experience ingame. Not healing assholes as punishment for their actions, sure, fine... But just cuz they're a certain race? Racism is one thing, but racism to a fictional race... Get help... Seriously... Or stop playing at all to avoid exposing yourself to blood elves...
"Reminds me of a dog. You stare at it while it's playing outside, running around in a circle, then stopping up, wagging with a wide "grin", jumping around until you call for the dog. Then it lowers its tail because it think it's done something bad and then you throw the ball, seeing the tail go straight into the air in bliss! ^^" - Gehco

United States Department of Agriculture
Agricultural Research Service
Our mission is to import, quarantine, test, ship, release and establish exotic natural enemies (parasites and predators) of insect pests, using classical biological approaches, and to investigate, model, and predict the interactions of pest and beneficial species. The Laboratory's efforts havetraditionally been directed against insect pests of foreign origin. After receiving natural enemies from the native home of the invading species, thebeneficials are colonized in the United States to control the pest. Once established, these natural enemies are self-perpetuating and operate without further cost. The Laboratory also houses a quarantine facility where beneficial organisms from abroad are received and processed to detectand eliminate undesirable secondary parasites. Once cleared from quarantine, the beneficial species are either liberated locally or shipped.The Alfalfa Weevil, once the most severe pest of alfalfa in the U.S., is now controlled by several introduced parasites in the 20 NE States, for yearly savings of $88 million in control costs. The alfalfa blotch leafminer was controlled by parasites introduced from Europe soon after thepest spread outside its New England entry port preventing yield losses worth $15 million per year.

Tornova combines the plush comfort tops of Ergonova with the traditional round bends of Rotundo. It's a pattern many riders who prefer deeper constant-radius drops have been waiting for. Two features new to 3T's range further enhance Tornova's comfort and convenience: internal cable routing and stepped location for the brake/shifter units.
The stepped-location feature molds a small downwards step above the shifter clamp so the shifter tops align truly flat with the top of the bar. This makes for a more comfortable handhold. Internal routing aligns cables better so the bar assembly is tidier and gear changes snappier. Tornova Team is a versatile light racing bar that supports clip-on extensions.

Where can i buy this product? i need to find Original..
Head & Shoulders Calssic Clean has Been a Great Product since day one, I Will NOT use any other Shampoo on my Hair, It makes it Soft,Shiney & over all Stronger!..I Love Head & Shoulders Products!
i have used Zincon for several years and have not had dandruff since using this product. It leaves the hair soft and manageable. I have tried many other products and was never satisfied because my dandruff never went away. Try it for several weeks, you'll never use anything else.
Bought for my daughter who has psoriasis of scalp. She likes a lot and it has helped control the flaking real well. Great deal and just as good, if not better results, as other high end dandruff shampoos. Will definitely be buying this again!
We love the Head and Shoulder products in our house. We use the shampoo to keep our scalps clean and free of dandruff. Then we use the Head and Shoulder Conditioner to keep our hair feel smooth and looking soft and silky. It's great and we can't live without either product. Even if we didn't use the shampoo, we would still use the conditioner because we like it so much.

Discount Security was founded in 1999 by professional CCTV technicians. Since then, thousands of our security camera systems and CCTV digital video recorders have been installed worldwide.
We know what works and what doesn't work. We constantly evaluate CCTV products from all over the world and test them personally. We pick only the best quality, most reliable, and cost-effective equipment to offer.
We train all of our sales staff on the surveillance products so they know what to recommend for your application, and we make sure that the technical support staff has the knowledge and experience needed to support you after the sale.
Over half of our clients are installers and resellers. This way we get constant feedback about how well the equipment is performing in real world environments.
The security cameras and video recorders you see on our site are the same quality as the big well known brands. It all comes from manufacturers in Asia. But our prices are better because there's no high priced middleman to pay.
"Just a few lines to let you know that I'm a very happy customer, having purchased a system from DSC a few years ago I'm back to upgrade some of my cameras and happy to report that the quality and service is excellent as was a few years back. Thank you."
"I've ordered several times now and each time the service and speed were outstanding. Thanks for superb customer service."
"We are incredibly happy with our new system. We were able to install and configure everything with minimal effort. Rob was crucial to the project. He made sure we were happy with our system and that things went as smoothly as possible."
"I would like to say that your products and service are great. This was my third order with your company and it has been fantastic."
"I received the camera and installed it only to find that this camera is better than the ones I spent $85 on. Resolution is better. Field of view is better, and the IRs are fantastic. I'm able to see to the edge of my property in total darkness. Very impressive camera for a very minimal price. Between the excellent equipment, quick shipping, and the customer service, I won't be shopping anywhere else.
Thank you DSC."
"Thank you. Your company is very prompt and courteous and the camera housing is exactly what we were looking for and have been using to mount cameras in an outdoor environment. "
"My orders from DSC are always filled and shipped promptly. The support staff is dedicated and work diligently to resolve any problems (although problems rarely occur).
I have been a customer since 2001 and will continue to shop with DSC."
"Thank you for the follow up, I appreciate you having the part I needed and timely delivery. No complaints here. I will likely be shopping on your site in the future for any needs."
"Bought IRB700 as a replacement for an original installation camera which succumbed to the weather. Good sharp picture and beautiful color - night image very good. Can not say enough good things about the customer service at this company. When made aware of an installation problem with the first camera shipped they called me, offered, and immediately shipped another camera without any hassle and followed up to ensure that I was satisfied. This is that rare type of customer service which one rarely encounters on internet sales sites. This was my second purchase from this company and it will not be my last."
"Thank you for your excellent and quick service!"
"Everything in my order was correct and all the cameras worked great."
"I've ordered a number of items from DSC over the past 3 or 4 years. I have never been disappointed. This last order was received phenomenally quick! Your competitive pricing and product selection causes me to always try DSC first (and I seldom have to go further)."
"I am 100% satisfied with both cameras. They were easy to install, have great range and clarity, for the cost you can't beat them. There was a minor setback with 1 of the bullet cameras but your team corrected the problem with a quick turn around. I will be ordering more of these cameras and other products again."
"I had a great buying experience. Great product, great service and FAST shipping. Triple-play!"
"My recent purchase was to finish the installation of the 8 camera/DVR system I bought from DSC a couple of weeks ago. Josh was extremely helpful during the order process and answered every question I had. He even looked up my address on Google earth and assisted me with camera placement while we both looked at my house on our own computers at the same time. After installation, all of the tech support guys...Leonard, Julius, Jeff, know me by now I'm sure because of my constant calls to program certain things on the DVR as well as set up remote access from a computer. Not once did any of them sound annoyed or have any hint of aggravation in their voices due to my numerous calls. For a guy like me who's not the best with setting up these type of units, I'm sure glad I bought from you guys and that I can count on the professionals at DSC if I need some help."
"The cameras work great. I will be purchasing more from you in the future."
"I have ordered parts 3 times recently. Each time I was pleased with the quick response.
After the first two orders arrived, and I still couldn't make the proper connections, I called your facility. Between the sales department and the the tech group it got straightened out. Had I called before the first order I probably would have saved a lot of time.
Thanks for the help."
"This was my 3rd purchase from DSC and my first returned defective item. I am very pleased how quickly DSC returned the new replacement camera, it has been installed and works fine. I have plans to buy more cameras from DSC in the next few days. Thank you for your responsive and professional manner in which you resolved this issue. I will recommend DSC to my fellow property managers."
"Once again, great experience and very quick shipping. Thanks."
"Again, very fast and efficient service. All in good order. Thanks!"
"Good product and got it on time. Thanks"
"I purchase a 4 camera Dvr combo. Easy to install, I've had it for way over a month. I love my new surveillance system . Thank you for the merchandise. I recommend this website to several of my friends. I will purchase more merchandise in the near future."
"You are awesome. I was and am always treated well on the phone and your prompt attention and shipment are all as expected. Pricing is right where we expect it. Thank you for your help and being able to do business with you!"
"Ok, so bad luck hits me big time on Tuesday morning before my flight to Hawaii on Friday... Lightning stuck my camera system and burned up 14 cameras and my DVR.
I called DSC, told Rob in sales what happened, and he immediately started working on getting me lined up with a suitable replacement system and getting it off the dock and headed my way. Time was a real issue here, as it was late Tuesday morning before I was able to contact DSC.
System arrived Thursday morning, and I immediately began installing the gear. After quickly learning the basic setup, and hooking up a couple of cameras to work with, I hooked up to my network and called DSC to streamline my network setup. I got ahold of Leonard, who dialed into my router and in 5 minutes had my system working great, and my wife, 30 miles away was watching our cameras in real time. Another call to Leonard a couple hours later had our IPhones also watching in real time...I hooked up 12 of my 16 cameras that evening before packing to leave.
Now, as I sit here on the north shore of Kauai, watching my dogs at home, I can't thank the DSC crew enough for making the switch to a newer, better, more reliable system so incredibly easy, and cheaper than I expected. There is only one go-to company for CCTV as far as I'm concerned: DSC.
Thank you guys so much!"

Welcome to my new Interactive AAR! This is my first HOI AAR, although I've played it quite a bit in the past.
Approved by Qorten
I will need four players, ideally with some familiarity with the game and the US, to take the following spots: Chief of Staff of the Army, Chief of Staff of the Navy, Chief of Staff of the Air Force, and Armaments Minister (who for our purposes will be responsible for province constructions, like radar, etc.).
The Chiefs will determine the following:
-- OOBs
-- Deployments
-- Construction
-- Techs for their particular branch.
The Minister will determine:
-- All non-military techs
-- All non-unit construction.
When/if the war starts, we'll also look for theater commanders.
Every six months, the Big Four, so to speak, are up for review, and can be replaced. They are free to resign at any time, provided we find a replacement.
So what about everyone else, you ask? You're Congress! Each other player can make up a character, naming the state, political party, and position your character has. (Only Senators/Representatives; remember, AK and HI aren't states yet.) What do you vote on?
-- Foreign policy plans
-- Budgets for IC, including total distribution and which of the four gets what for construction purposes.
-- Budgets for leadership, including total distribution and which of the four gets which techs.
-- Declaring war/signing peace treaties
-- Which faction we align ourselves to, if any
-- If one of the Big Four needs to be fired/replaced
-- Input on our general deployments overseas
-- All decisions and law changes
-- Nukes!
-- Etc.
I will serve as de facto President, VP, Head of Intelligence, and Foreign Minister. I will only vote to break ties (as VP). All army groups and below will be on AI control when/if the war starts. There are a couple of specific exceptions:
-- Marines are the property of the Navy.
-- Transports planes are under the control of the Army.
-- All invasions will be handled manually; once ports and/or airbases are seized, control must be handed over to the AI.
For the navy and air force, it'll be up to the respective chief.
Peace time updates will cover a six month period; war time updates will be approximately two to four weeks, depending on events. I'd like votes to last no more than 72 hours.
If you want to ask a general question that's OOC, please use these (( )). Finish most communications with your job/title/etc. so we know who is who.
Bills and voting: When time comes to submit budgets and other bills, any Congressperson is free to submit a proposal, but it must be co-authored. This is to prevent, say, 10 people voting over 9 bills. When a minimum of three bills have been submitted, I will officially kick off voting for that particular area of concern. All votes must be bolded so I can count them.
Political Parties: Republican, Democrat, or Independent. Since parties don't matter much for the purposes of this game, I probably won't allow new ones, but that's at my discretion.
Factions: We will not join a faction until WWII has started, unless of course we are declared upon. If I am invited to join, it will be put to a vote.
Trade: Trade will be automated.
Production: Consumer goods will be locked at the maximum to ensure zero dissent; I will use automated options for the rest (i.e. Production, Upgrades, Reinforcements) based upon your votes during peace time.
Espionage: I will allocate available spies first to the US until we have ten; subsequent spies will be based upon our foreign policy.
Foreign Policy: I'm responsible for executing it, and we won't DOW anybody we don't have a legitimate threat against (i.e. sticking within game mechanics). However, we'll take votes on faction alignment and general policy. Again, must be supported by two Senators/Representatives.
Characters: Nothing against Forum rules. Other than that, you can pick whatever you want. We'll only have 2 Senators from each state, and I'll make a roster so people know how many spots are open. Again, we'll need name, state, and party affiliation.
Filibusters: Any party leader has the power to filibuster a bill to enact certain changes he'd like to see. He may do this once per session. The filibustee has the option to withdraw the bill, amend the bill, or ignore it, in which case we vote to overturn the filibuster. 2/3s must vote to overturn.
Quorum: Any Senator may request a quorum at any time, if the President (me) approves it.
I'll post a save, hosted by another site, so you can download it and follow along. I'll also take plenty of screenshots, of course! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in-thread ((with these, of course)) or by PM.
Here's the initial save (all settings on normal; this is the default setup, no changes made):

How to Select
How to Shop for Low Voltage Outdoor Lighting
Outdoor lighting is one of the most efficient ways to highlight the most attractive features of your landscape and house, hide the less appealing ones, illuminate paths and entryways and create a sense of security and warmth. Low-voltage lights are quite a popular choice for outdoor illumination since they are easy to install, adaptable, safe to use and employ little power. It is also nice to know that cables of low-voltage fixtures do not pose the danger of electric shock and you do not need a permit to install them.
The first thing you need to do is to determine the purpose served by the low voltage outdoor lighting fixture. Do you need it to illuminate a path, steps or entryway, accent a statue or trees or light a pond or fountain? Underwater fixtures need to be lightweight, compact, rugged, and resistant to high pressures, while step lights should be bright enough to illuminate the top and bottom of stairs.
The next thing to decide on is the output wattage of the device. The brightness of low-voltage outdoor lights varies from 4 to 50 watts, with common choices ranging from 18 to 24 watts. The brightness of a bulb will be rather defined by its intended use: illuminating the steps may require a brighter fixture than artfully lighting a group of trees. The choice of the transformer to step down the voltage also depends on the wattage of bulbs: to determine its size, you need to multiply the wattage by the number of bulb sockets.
Once you have made up your mind about the functional qualities of your outdoor low-voltage lighting, consider its decorative possibilities. Landscape lights come in aluminum, cast metal, brass and wood. A verde or black finish will blend well with the surrounding garden. You can also choose the finish to suit the coloring of your house. Styles may vary from minimalist to aesthetically rich. Path lights can be visible or hidden, ranging from brass lanterns to tulip-shaped units, while outdoor directional spotlights pointed to individual trees or art works may include only bulbs.
The bulbs used for low voltage outdoor lighting are typically halogen lamps with a precision reflector and compact filament, but low-voltage LED and incandescent lamps rated for 12V operation are also employed. Halogen and LED units are more efficient, but incandescent bulbs provide more traditional illumination with a warm orange cast.
After selecting the outdoor light and an appropriate transformer, you can immediately proceed to installing the system because, unlike with other outdoor projects, the low-voltage installation does not require having expertise in electrical work.

The race distance in the YOG rowing competition had been reduced to 1,000m (from the standard Olympic distance of 2,000m) to be more suitable for young athletes. And the athletes didn't have to worry about bringing their own boats – they were provided by the event organisers in Singapore!
There were four Rowing events at YOG - Single Sculls and Pairs for men and women.In the Pairs, each event started with heats, from which the fastest crews qualified directly for the semi-finals (places 1-4). Crews in the heats which did not progress directly to the semi-finals competed in a repechage to get a second chance to qualify. The first three crews in each of the two semi-finals went through to an "A" final to determine the medals and places 4-6. Crews ranking 4-6 in the semi-finals competed in a "B" final to determine places 7-12. The format was similar for the Single Sculls, except that the crews that did not qualify through the repechage wrnt to other semi-finals, to qualify for the "C" and "D" finals and to determine places 13-24.

KDE is nice and all, but it needs to mature a little. They can start by addressing the numerous crashes Gwenview generates on rather simple images (yes, I filed dozens of bug reports - I've never had this happen with Gpicview). Or after I close a random KDE app (especially when the "about" dialog was last displayed), it crashes ungracefully and pops an error message. That alone kills the user experience, especially for new users. I don't know about programming, otherwise I'd help them stabilize these issues myself.
Last edited by 1c3d0g; 07-20-2012 at 08:45 AM.
I disabled nepomuk and akonadi in my KDE install. They were taking up a lot of resources. Without them running, everything is very snappy. Maybe that's the OP's problem?
I have kde atm running and nepomuk uses only about 25mb ram and akonadi uses about 80mb ram.
I can run KDE 4.7 on a laptop with a 1.8GHZ single core 32 bit Sempron CPU, 512MB of DDR, and a 4200RPM 70GB IDE hard drive. I tried running LXDE and XFCE on it and found a 50MB memory savings at the expense of incredible amounts of functionality. Besides the aforementioned recent files/programs, the LXDE menu had no search function, the file manager paled with the freeware replacement I'd used on Windows XP, and both LXDE and XFCE were anemic compared to KDE in terms of customization. I was unable to reproduce the power settings I had in KDE, and even configuring the touchpad was a nightmare - something as simple as configuring tap to click was very difficult, with one of the two refusing to remember the setting change and needing it to be done again with every boot. Neither had the ability to disable the touchpad while typing, either. The list of simple features that were missing went on and on, let alone missing KDE's advanced features - places/bookmarks accessible from file open/save menus, etc. I found both to be too far backwards for too little gain. If I saw no worthwhile gain on a 512MB antique laptop, I can't imagine why anyone would want to give up KDE on an average desktop.
I've been using Linux full time for just over 2 years now (as of Wednesday), which means 8+ hours a day of home work use on top of using it on my own time... and since I no longer own a TV, my KDE desktop does double duty as my TV. I've yet to experience this "sluggishness" you speak of, and it's certainly not unstable either - maybe you've only used it on a distro that ends in "buntu"? :-) I assure you I've been getting work done this whole time... data mining, programming, and assorted number crunching and data processing with RapidMiner, LibreOffice, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Free Pascal, Python, R, mathomatic, VirtualBox, GNUCash and others, along with personal use software such as SMPlayer, VLC, XBMC, Banshee, calibre, etc. Today I had a power problem that resulted in the power dropping just quickly enough to cause the system to reboot on two occasions within a half hour and I was very impressed to find that Linux, ext4 and KDE were able to recover very quickly and cleanly to the point you'd barely notice the extra reboot time and there were no anomalies with the desktop once I was back in. Firefox remembered what I was browsing and LibreOffice was able to recover an open file as well.
KDE is the last of the major desktops that still looks like a desktop and capable of competing (and beating) Windows 7's desktop on features and customizability. I don't think you should be unfairly beating up on it when it's doing an amazing job. The fact that a Windows user can take to it like a fish to water (and discover its own unique features later on) is a definite plus.

Results 1 to 15 of 17

SFFWorld's Favorite Books of 2005!
Well, it is a little bit late, but I've finally tallied the results of our annual Best Of poll. Id like to thank all of our members for participating, as well as those folks who joined and by posting in the poll. For the record Ill be using points and votes to refer to the books on and off the list. Votes refers to each appearance on a persons ballot, or post. Points are the rankings attributed to each book by virtue of where the poster placed them on their list.
So without further adeiu, here are the results:
1. The Warrior Prophet by R. Scott Bakker, with nearly 20 more points than the second place book...(Nice going Scott!)
2. A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin
The rest of the top vote-getters looks like this:
3. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
4. The Wizard Knight by Gene Wolfe.*
5. Shaman's Crossing by Robin Hobb
6. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
7. Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan
8. Spin by Robert Charles Wilson
9. Olympos by Dan Simmons
10. Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson
Some additional things to consider
It may not come as a surprise the two books receiving most first place votes were Scott Bakker's The Warrior Prophet and Martin's A Feast for Crows.
Just under the radar knocking on #10s door were the following books, all tied with the same number of votes:
The Carpet Makers
Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell
The book with the most total votes (not points) was actually A Feast for Crows. The book with the least amount of votes in the top 10: Memories of Ice only three people actually voted for the book, but they all ranked # 1 or #2.
The three books with the most votes not in the top 10 were Judas Unchained by Peter F. Hamilton, Elantris by Brandon Sanderson, and Veniss Underground by Jeff VanderMeer, each with four votes.
About 80 total books were put in the ballots, so to speak, so the nominating field was fairly wide.
*I decided to add all the votes for The Wizard and The Knight along with those who voted for the book as a single book together. The total tally for The WizardKnight was 15, The Knight 20, and The Wizard 14. If you want to remove my calculations for TWK then the list looks something like this:
1. The Warrior Prophet by R. Scott Bakker
2. A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin
3. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
4. Shaman's Crossing by Robin Hobb
5. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
6. Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan
7. Spin by Robert Charles Wilson
8. Olympos by Dan Simmons
9. Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson & The Knight by Gene Wolfe
10. Vellum by Hal Duncan, The Carpet Makers & JS&MN
March 3rd, 2006, 03:46 PM #2
eh? not many votes for Deadhouse Gates I take it?
March 3rd, 2006, 03:54 PM #3
The winna' of SFFWorld's Favorite Books in 2006:
And the crowd goes wild!
Just a prediction. Also further smarmy comments: Feast For Crows? *rolls eyes almost imperceptibly*
But big grats to Bakker, I think TWP earned its position. Though to be honest, I would've placed Anansi Boys above it. Then again, I would've placed Jon Strange at #1, so.
Thanks for everyone who voted, and please disregard the smarm.
March 3rd, 2006, 03:58 PM #4
If I read TWP in 2005, I would have voted for it, but I actually read the book in 2004.
werewolfv2 - only three people voted for Deadhouse Gates. A lot of our members read it when it first published in UK/Canada.
March 3rd, 2006, 04:43 PM #5
Looks like I'm going to have to read the Bakker trilogy ... its been on my radar for a while.

Leaving it open to mass market seems a mistake to me, but as I am happy that any recognition to Bakker takes place, I'll leave to personal tastes that likely are not very egalitarian.

Did Old Man's War get any nods at all?
March 4th, 2006, 07:25 AM #8
I don't think there were any votes for Old Man's War, but I have heard very good things about it, as well as its sequel, The Ghost Brigades.

It's a much easier read than Olympos yet it deals successfully with some ineresting issues. Also leaves some questions on the table. Also has one of the more interesting takes on quantuum realities that I have encountered including how get from a to b at FTL without violating the state of the art in physics.
Yet it didn't make any of the lists.
March 6th, 2006, 08:16 AM #101. The Warrior Prophet by R. Scott Bakker
2. A Feast for Crows by George R. R. Martin
3. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
4. Shaman's Crossing by Robin Hobb
5. Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince by J.K. Rowling
6. Knife of Dreams by Robert Jordan
7. Spin by Robert Charles Wilson
8. Olympos by Dan Simmons
9. Memories of Ice by Steven Erikson & The Knight by Gene Wolfe
10. Vellum by Hal Duncan, The Carpet Makers & JS&MN
Anansi boys, because i liked American Gods and haven't finished another Gaiman book yet.
Warrior Prophet, because of all the praise here and so i can add to the bookclub discusion, and its finished!
The Carpet Makers, I've heard its great, and i'm learning German, so may get it in both languages if its good enough, for practice.
MoI, aFfC, Vellum, i'm waiting for the series' to be finished. Olympus I will read, but i've already got Simmon's Endyminion books on my shelf unread. Oh, and if the praise for Spin continues (esp with award noms), then i'll read that.
Finally, I have no interest in HP (read the first 3 and feel they are children's books, not for me); I've given up on WoT; I wasn't overly impressed by Hobb's Farseer series, and am waiting for something special before i try another.
March 8th, 2006, 02:04 PM #11
For what it is worth SFSite posted their Editor's choice of 2005. I am not too suprised by the lack of overlap. I'll be very interested to see how their readers (which includes me) voted when they post the Reader's Choice in another week.
One book both of our list and SFSite's editors have done, though, is give me more reasons to pick up RCW's Spin.

The author of both Old Man's War and The Ghost Brigades is John Scalzi, and he maintains a fairly popular and interesting blog at http://www.scalzi.com/whatever.
Sheesh! Did I miss anything else?

RE: Old Man's War - I'm a big fan of Olympus and Ilium and wouldn't mind another book along those lines... However, a book about physics might hurt my brain!
Is it worth picking up? Or is it science heavy?

The results are in for SFsite's reader's poll
1. Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman
2. A Feast for Crows by George R.R. Martin
3. Spin by Robert Charles Wilson
4. Accelerando by Charles Stross
5. Magic For Beginners by Kelly Link
6. The Warrior-Prophet by R. Scott Bakker
7. Thud! by Terry Pratchett
8. Looking for Jake by China Miéville
9. River of Gods by Ian McDonald
9. Mélusine by Sarah Monette
9. Olympos by Dan Simmons
10. Hallowed Hunt by Lois McMaster Bujold
10. Someone Comes to Town, Someone Leaves Town by Cory Doctorow
Magic For Beginners (3), Accelerando (2), Spin (1) were also on the Editors choice list - i've read accelerando and liked it, and loved Link's Stranger things Happen, so i've ordered Magic for Beginners.
Just have to hope Spin becomes the SF bookclub selection for may.
I am suprised at the lack of overlap with our list, it seems SFsite readers are less fans of ongoing fantasy series (only 2 entries cf to 6 in the SFFworld list.)

AWWA teams up with students to test well water
Thursday, February 28, 2013
ACTON — Representatives of The Acton-Wakefield Watersheds Alliance (AWWA) recently visited classrooms at the Acton Elementary School and the Paul School in Wakefield, New Hampshire.
After completing the six tests for their samples, students entered their data into a computer spreadsheet and used GPS functions to map the locations of their homes. This data and the GPS information was used to create distribution maps for use in the following class. The maps were designed to give students an opportunity to analyze data, find trends, explain why certain results appear, make observations and formulate hypotheses.
This ambitious testing program could not have happened without the valuable assistance of volunteers. AWWA staffers Dustin Johnson and Linda Schier would like to thank these participants for visiting the schools and helping the students: from the New Hampshire Department of Environmental Services, Sally Soule, Lisa Loosigian, and Barbara MacMillan, and from AWWA, Sam Wilson and John Hraba.

Hey you! Welcome to the super-thread! Didja join Dairyland too?
Edit: I feel a little guilty, I sent Dollmore a message asking them when they thought it would ship since I figure it'll take about a week to get here, and I do kinda wanna make sure it's not going to get delivered on a Wednesday or Thursday. Mum's out at the Family History center then, so if I have to work, no one's home. Even though no one from the street can see our front door (Courtney knows what I'm talking about since she's been to my house now) I'm still not real comfortable with that idea, especially since it's not just my stuff in the boxes.
@Environmental Resin Discussion: I'm kind of wondering if it's Island Dolls' enviro resin that's awesome or if all of it will be, 'cos I've seen a few people say Loongsoul's isn't as smooth.
No, haven't joined Dairyland yet. I figured I'd go one step at a time. lol
I think all of my Dollmore orders have required a signature, so if that's still the case, they wouldn't leave it without that. smile
And on enviro Resin---every enviro I've had was equally amazing. I haven't seen Loongsoul's, but old RingDoll, BlueBlood, Jie Doll are really awesome!

Vienna represented in the exhibition In the time of Klimt at the Pinacothèque in Paris – from 12 February to 21 June 2015
The Vienna Secession
The Pinacothèque de Paris, in partnership with Arthemisia Group and 24 ORE Cultura, wishes to examine once again an essential aspect of Art Nouveau, which was developed in Vienna at the start of the 20th century under the name Secession. Gustav Klimt's part in the emerging of that movement is a major one. The artist's talent and brio, from his precocious start to his excessive decorative effects, where gildings and the emerging expressionism are dominant, are the foundations of a new period, which flowered in Vienna at the turn of the century. That artistic movement is, in fact, at the origin of the birth, a few years later, of one of the major currents in modern art, Expressionism, which was the theme of an exhibition in the museum in 2011.
The exhibition shows over 180 works taken from the collections of the Belvedere museum in Vienna, as well as from private collections. The curatorship of the exhibition is ensured by Alfred Weidinger, curator of the Belvedere museum in Vienna.

Exhibition Wally Neuzil at the Leopold Museum in Vienna – from 27 February to 1st June 2015
Her Life with Egon Schiele
The painting "Wally", housed by the Vienna Leopold Museum, is among the most well-known works by Egon Schiele. The upcoming exhibition at the Leopold Museum seeks to uncover the person behind the portrait, Walburga "Wally" Neuzil (1894-1917), approaching her through artworks, autographs, photographs and documents. Featured in the presentation will be eminent paintings by Schiele, such as "Death and the Maiden", an important loan from the Belvedere, as well as drawings and watercolors by Schiele for which Wally acted as a model. The exhibition comprises works from the Leopold Museum, the Leopold Private Collection as well as loans from Austrian and international collections.
The exhibition examines the stages of Wally's life, her professions, from model to nurse, and tells the tale of a woman's fate in fin-de-siècle Vienna, between self-sacrifice and self-fulfillment, between a life without taboos and profound humanity.

In 2014 the Museum commemorate the 100th anniversary of the death of Ödön Lechner (1845–1914), one of the greatest Hungarian architects and one of the original geniuses of the European architectural scene at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries. To mark this anniversary, the Institute of Art History of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences and the Museum of Applied Arts in Budapest are jointly organizing an international conference and an exhibition.
This exhibition presents the whole scope of the work of the architect Ödön Lechner. Special attention is paid to five major works, nominated for UNESCO World Heritage Site status: the Kecskemét City Hall, the parish church of Budapest-Kőbánya, the Museum of Applied Arts, the Institute of Geology, and the Postal Savings Bank. Visitors can familiarise themselves with these through the architect's original plans and drawings, as well as period and modern photographs. Working drawings of the ornaments so crucial to Lechner's work, the publications which inspired him, and examples of the Zsolnay ceramic in which they were realized are also presented. One of the rooms evokes the world of the Japan Coffee House, Lechner's second home, another acommodates a panoramic movie of his major works.

Heralded as modern hymn writers, Keith and Kristyn Getty are known for writing and performing songs that transcend traditional church boundaries, uniting the voices of people all over the world. With music that is equally at home in urban strip-mall chapels and the ancient stonewalled Canterbury Cathedral and from Nashville's legendary Ryman Auditorium toLondon's Royal Albert Hall, they occupy a different space in the Christian music community. Some of the most significant of their songs to date find their first "live" recording in the couple's new release, Keith & Kristyn Getty Live at The Gospel Coalition.For info contact: 406-582-8000 For more info Click Here.
"This is actually the first live album that we have ever made, 12 years into this," Keith says of the couple's joint career, which began in their native Northern Ireland. "It's not a 'Best Of,' but it contains many of the songs we've written from the year 2000 right up to this year." In the past decade, the Gettys, often with long-time co-writer, Stuart Townend, have delivered some of the most potent new anthems in the church repertoire including "In Christ Alone," "The Power of the Cross," "By Faith," and "Christ Is Risen,
He Is Risen Indeed."
Recorded live at The Gospel Coalition National Conference in Orlando, their new collection teems with the energy and passion Keith and Kristyn bring to congregational singing and is further buoyed by the excitement of the conference attendees as they lift up their voices. "We chose to include the ones that we have sensed, over time, have the greatest congregational response," says Kristyn of the songs on the album. "We also wanted to take this opportunity to put a couple of the newer songs on, including one just finished at the conference on the theme of missions called 'Lift High the Name of Jesus'."
"It's an unusual live album because there are so many men," Keith says, noting that the conference attendance was two-thirds men. The robust choir of male voices makes for an intriguing dynamic and rich harmonic blend alongside Kristyn's
more tender vocals.
Adds Kristyn, "The album also has a few of our favorite older hymns, such as 'Holy, Holy, Holy.' We pulled the accompaniment away so the congregation could sing a capella and in harmony through the four verses - what a mighty thunderous sound!
It was extraordinary."
Among the hymns included in the collection is "In Christ Alone," which has become one of the most popular hymns around the world. Written by Keith and Stuart Townend, the song was first released in 2001 and has since been recorded by more than 100 artists, as diverse as Alison Krauss, Owl City, Natalie Grant and Newsboys among many others. It has been within the top 15 CCLI songs in the US for several years and the No. 1 song for seven consecutive years on CCLI in the UK. "In many ways, 'In Christ Alone' exemplifies the goals we share as writers in that we were aiming for an easily-sung and easily-learned melody, whether or not accompanied by instruments, that carries lyrics of depth and theological richness," Keith says.
The couple has embraced their calling to provide the church with songs that are theologically substantive yet uplifting and easy to sing. "From the start, we've always written for the congregation as the artist," says Keith. "While I'm privileged to have a wife who is a beautiful singer as well as a beautiful person, for both of us our philosophy on worshipping and hymn writing is we write for the congregation. We try to write melodies that any congregation could pick up, and obviously because of our folk classical style, they can often be used in both contemporary churches and the traditional churches with organs and choirs."
Creating music for the church has been Keith's calling since childhood. "As I look at my life since I was 10-years-old, it seems this is the only thing that I could have ever really done," Keith shares. "When I was 25, I started writing for my church because it's the thing I was the most passionate about."
Both Belfast natives, Kristyn was introduced to Keith by her uncle. "Keith kindly agreed to let this young 18-year-old come by and talk about singing. At that point, I hadn't even thought about writing songs." "I remember that he took me out to dinner, and he was the first guy to ever take me out to dinner, so it was a big deal," Kristyn recalls with a smile, but says it was a while before they became a couple. "We didn't date for several years. It took us a while to figure that part out. He was working on a project and asked me if I could write lyrics. I had always been interested in poetry and writing in general but Keith was the one who untapped the song-writing world for me. We were still very much at the beginning, just dreaming, talking together about what we would do."
A few months after they were married, they were invited to become music ministers at a church in Geneva, Switzerland, where they remained for a year. "It was really a great year for us both personally and creatively," Keith says of 2005. "Hymns like 'O Church Arise' were written that year and we did a children's project too."
Feeling led into a new season, they moved to the United States and took up residence, first in Ohio (finding new friends in the church of their pastor friend, Alistair Begg), then on to Nashville a few years later, where they currently live. They've since released four acclaimed albums including In Christ Alone (2007), Awaken the Dawn (2009), Joy-An Irish Christmas (2011), and Hymns for the Christian Life, a 2012 collection produced by Charlie Peacock (and one track by Ed Cash) that musically explored the intersection between Irish music and American folk and bluegrass and featured friends Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs, and Moya Brennon on as many songs.
On their new live album, the couple again worked with Ed Cash. "He's just fantastic with live albums," says Keith. "He came down to Florida and he helped encourage the congregation to really sing out. It was really fun to have him there."
Their new project captures the essence of what makes Keith & Kristyn Getty stand apart, to occupy that different space in church music. While some may point to the quality of Keith's musicianship and the crystalline beauty of Kristyn's vocals, it is the couple's deliberate focus on writing and leading congregations in singing songs that are musically memorable and easy to embrace and that hold enduring Scriptural truth which sets them apart.
"When people leave church, they don't go out singing the sermon; they go home humming and singing the songs," says Kristyn. "The songs we sing shape so much how we feel, how we think, what we pray and even how we talk to friends and approach our work. How you sing and what you sing on Sunday affects Monday and every other day of the week. As songwriters, it's a phenomenal opportunity to be a part of creating a feast of thought and imagination and beauty and challenge that can be a part of feeding the body all week long."

Definitely others as well, if you're up for it. The rules of the world and the special abilities are extremely technical so its best to start from at least Heaven's Arena, which is I think ep27, where they introduce Nen. Of course, it makes most sense to start from episode 1, but personally I found the Hunter exam to be pretty slow, especially compared to everything else in the series. It's up to you.
Been meaning to recommend this to you for a while now. You've probably heard of it before and maybe think that it's childish because the two main leads are just 12 or 13 depending on the story arc, but it's much more violent and brutal than most people realize.
To the point, I think you should watch the Chimera Ant arc. It is easily the best story-telling I've ever seen in a shonen manga adaptation, and pretty much every episode of it has me on edge.
Just give it a shot;

Couple killed from carbon monoxide died days earlier
Saturday, March 16, 2013
BARRINGTON — Two residents who were found dead on Monday by their son, who went to their home after not being able to reach them, had died days earlier, according to police.
Walker said any appliance that produces combustion, and burns either gas or oil, can potentially emit carbon monoxide. To be safe, he recommends having carbon monoxide detectors in all homes.
It wasn't until Wednesday that fire officials tested each appliance at the home and determined the stove was causing the high carbon monoxide levels.

Fourteen princess-cut diamonds are hand-set in this elegant and classic platinum channel band.
Beautiful ring, i had ordered the thinner princess cut band but returned it for this one and it's just right as a wedding band, it has lots of sparkle.
Anonymous, Doncaster, South Yorkshie – October 2012
Looks just as good in real life as on line. 3rd time I've used Blue Nile. Great service, quick delivery, easy to track parcel (great when you've got an expensive item coming in the post). Fiancee is very pleased with it, and significantly cheaper than High Street. Cannot recommend Blue Nile enough. And incidentally telephone staff are really helpful without being at all pushy, which is a welcome change these days.
Nicholas, Salisbury, WILTSHIRE – June 2012
Having bought the engagement ring from Blue Nile 3 years ago, I purchased the wedding rings and was pleased to see the same levels of excellent service and value.

Hi: 11° Lo:6°
By Jamie Arrowsmith Thursday 29 November 2012 Updated: 10/12 12:36
Bromsgrove 25 Dudley Kingswinford 3
National Two North
BROMSGROVE picked up an important victory over old rivals Dudley on Saturday which should instill further confidence into a side who are just beginning to show their potential.
It has been a difficult year for Bromsgrove so far but two wins and a draw in their last three matches has got them moving in the right direction and they will hope to carry that on when travelling to bottom of the table Huddersfield on their next outing on December 8.
Conditions were extremely difficult at Finstall Park and not conducive to running rugby but Town ignored that to launch a flowing attack that ended with new signing Jack Wardle crossing the whitewash.
Bar Bartlett missed the conversion on a day that was to prove difficult for kickers with only one successful effort going through the posts all day, that of Dudley stand off Gareth Brown on the stroke of half time.
That was also the only other score of the first half as both sides struggled not to make handling errors, perhaps inevitably in the slippery conditions.
It soon became apparent in the second half that Bromsgrove were determined not to see the ball go much further than replacement scrum half Dave Brazier and it was going to be up to the forwards to keep driving the opposition back.
They followed their plan to great effect and when Dudley did get their hands on the ball, they were soon stopped by some hefty tackles.
The visitors held out until the 57th minute when Dave Hughes was driven over for the score. If a reminder as to how effective nine man rugby can be in these conditions was needed, that score did it and for the next ten minutes Town were ruthless with man of the match Chris MacGregor scoring an extraordinary hat-trick, all from driving mauls, which put the game beyond the visitors.
