Ambassador - Permanent Representative: H.E. Andrej Logar
New York, 30 November 2011 - Ambassador ┼Ātiglic addressed the Security Council's Open Debate on its working methods and stressed that strengthening the CouncilŌĆÖs interaction with the wider UN membership was a critical element in the recent reform process, with open briefings and debates taking on particular importance. The wider membership should have an opportunity to share its views, which should, when possible, be reflected in the debatesŌĆÖ outcomes.
She welcomed monthly ŌĆśhorizon scanningŌĆÖ briefings as another important contribution to conflict prevention and early warning as well as available technologies allowing for more filed briefings and real-time reaction to the situation on the ground. The Council should emphasize the importance of the rule of law in dealing with the agenda items, and special attention should be paid to the protection of civilians. Ambassador ┼Ātiglic urged permanent members of the Council to refrain from using the veto in event of genocide, crimes against humanity and serious violations of international humanitarian law.

We have a new district executive. The former district executive used to write email to me saying things like: let me know how I can help. I wanted to write back: let ME know how YOU can help. I had no idea what would be a resaonable request. I guess what I wanted to ask of him was to set up a recruitment booth at a certain place and time. Is that the sort of thing that DEs do? I haven't seen him do anything like that. We have done all of our own recruitement (with varying results). What does your DE do for you?

The "official" definition and description of a DE:
A professional Scouter who works under the direction of the Scout executive and is responsible for providing direct service to one or more districts. This is an entry-level position.
DEs receive their direct taskings from the Scout executive (CEO) of your Council. As you see, this is an appropriately ambiguous definition. You can expect what they are willing and able to give. Ask for what you need help with. The DE may or may not come through but then you'll know what YOUR DE is there for. Hopefully, the DE is out recruiting businesses and organizations to support Scouting and getting more volunteers to spread and strengthen the program. Unit commissioners are the volunteers that provide direct support to (or link you up to the direct support) units. If you have a unit commissioner, explain what you're looking for or trying to achieve and they can probably help.
Yeah, this is going to be a can of worms.
The good ones will try to build a relationship with ALL their volunteers. They do this by working TOGETHER with you. If I can help my DE with something, I will and frequently do. Same goes for him. If I need help or advice and he can provide it, he will. But that doesn't change the fact that my primary job is to deliver a good program to the 60 boys in my troop. His job is to make sure the district is healthy, primarily from the standpoint of membership and finance.
As to your recruitment booth idea. You can't expect that he will organize and man the booth himself. DEs like that are the guys who burn out and quit in their first year. On the other hand, he's a FOOL if he doesn't jump at the opportunity you've presented. At minimum -- very minimum -- he may pass the idea long to the district membership chairman, a volunteer position. If he's smart, he will work with you to pull the booth together. For example he could easily provide you with all sorts of poster, flyers and promotional materials -- maybe even a stash of old batches or gimmes you could hand out. Maybe he knows someone who has a contact at the location you want and can help you with the arrangements. Or maybe he can make a phone call to a couple neighboring units who would be interested in helping you with the booth.
In the end, he's helping you get what you want, but he's also cultivating the relationship with you -- and a new volunteer for the district committee. If your booth generates a lot of new members, don't be surprised if you aren't invited to share what you did at Roundtable and possibly be asked to try and package the program for other unit.
Expect nothing that way you won't be disappointed.
In years past we would see our DE twice a year. FOS presentation at the Blue and Gold Banquet and then To collect our apps and fees after our school night.
Our new one hasn't done any of that.......I have seen him only once or twice in the six or eight months he has been our DE.
Now I am not complaining.....
Like you I have no clue why we are paying these folks $30k or so a year..... Well I am told he can organize a humdinger of a golf outing........Thats right it is a $100 a head sort of event........
Double post
I have often searched for this same answer and I'm glad to know I am not the only one who has seen the same problem with their DE's. At first I thought maybe I was missing something since the previous CM didn't ever mention any problems at the District/Council level. As the Pack & Troops CC, I've come to realize the old CM was basically guiding the DE to her schedule. And as many of you posted, the DE doesn't come around till FOS and application collection or when they need "volunteers". Hard to respect or want to interact with the District/Council when they seem so disconnected from us Units.
Great topic and question!
I'm a relatively new Scouter and have wondered the same thing.
Our DE is new. He's young and full of energy, but so far I've reallyonly seen him visit a few meetings, such as B&G, where he hit up the group for money.....
I actually think council is funny.
Last year, I signed on half way through the year as an Assistant DL. This year I wear two hats Assistant DL and Assisitant CM. Several times, there have been folks from Council..... honestly I don't even know who they were, that visited meetings. At some point, they would be in a conversation with our CM or someone and so i would approach. Not wanting to interupt the conversation.... but some times because there was something needed from the CM, or sometimes I was just fishing for an opportunity to network. Every time, I got the feeling form the council person that they built up a wall..... to the point of stopping talking untill I left. Nothing from any of them but direct answers to direct questions.
I have NEVER been made to feel welcomed by any of them and I'm actually put off by them! It's like I don't belong to the club!
That is, everyone except our DE. He has been very approachable and friendly. Don't really understand what he "can do for me".... but still a good guy!
All I can do is be sad for a lot of you guys. I am so sorry your scouting experiences are not very happy ones. I consider myself fortunate in that the Scout Troop my son was in until he aged out was pretty good. I have since left that troop over a philosophical dispute. I thought they should follow the BSA program. particularly the patrol method and the scoutmaster doesnt do it says he does but I digress.
I have worked on both Council and District Committees and generally have fun working with other people who are as excited about scouting as I am. The best/worst experience I had was with a DE. She had been a charter member of the Venturing Crew I helped form back in 1998 and she went on to become our DE (its hard on the Advisor when they turn to the Dark Side) When she used to have ideas for Program as a Venturer, I would say , Go Ahead, Plan it and Schedule it and We will support you. When she was DE, I would have great ideas for program, and she would smile and say, Go ahead, Plan it, and schedule it and we will support you. Turnabouts are a not fun...
The District I am in has had several DE's in the 15 or so years I have been active in it. They usually last 20-30 months at most. The District really should not rely on the DE to do much of anything because they come and go and its the people in the District that make things happen,. if you expect an DE to deliver scouting, you have no other recourse that to be disappointed as that is not their job. They function in a role of raising money and members, We may all say thats terrible and its not right, but thats the reality. if a DE only comes to you to raise money, I can see why you would not welcome him. He is doing what he is supposed to however

I don't see a reason why units should have a lot of direct contact with their DE to begin with. For most needs/issues they should be utilizing their commissioner and/or the district committee. For recruitment materials, talk to the district membership chair, FOS presentations should be done by volunteers under the direction of the district finance chair, commissioners can be asked to help guide units in solving their problems, etc. Yes, I realize that not every district has the resources to do things in the ideal manner, but shouldn't we be working towards that goal?
If he doesn't support the district volunteers.......
Then what are their purpose?????
I am actually of the opinion that their sole purpose in life should be
1) Training the volunteers...... or if they don't have the skill set for a particular class, facilitate training and help a volunteer teach.
2) Facilitate things like the round table meetings
3) Facilitate district wide events such as derby races, cub camps, etc...
IMO, if they did these things, the programs would be more consistant, and potentially better. the result would be increased memebership and more $
I think most of us are spread too thin as it is. Volunteer scouters are busy enough putting on the unit level program..... so how can I expect to find a baloo training class that works with my schedule (I've been trying for a year and a half)....
The DE position is mainly a Marketing/PR position. They raise money, and members/units, for the council.
They do not PROVIDE/RUN district program or activities. They help FACILITATE them.
VOLUNTEERS do most of the actual hands on work, and that is how it SHOULD be.
There is no need for a DE to attend unit meetings. In the 20 or so years I was with our Pack I think our DE attended only 1 unit meeting, and he was invited to that one.
If your unit needs help, you go to your Unit Commissioner (volunteer). If your UC needs further help for your unit he goes to the District Commissioner (or an Asst Dist Commis) (both volunteers). If the DC needs council's help for your UC to help your unit, he goes to the DE (paid council person).
1) Training - DE's are not trainers. Volunteers train the volunteers. A DE can use his community contacts to help get meeting facilities, and equipment.
2) Roundtable - Again DE's are not trainers. Roundtables are run by the Commissioner staff - all VOLUNTEERS. The DE will be at the Roundtable to talk about district/council stuff. The DE helps the Roundtable staff with any resources they might find they need, including finding meeting space.
3) District wide events - All run by VOLUNTEERS, with the DE providing council help with activity space and resources.
The MAIN job of the DE is that of marketing/fundraising/PR. They raise money, and members, for the council. They FACILITATE activities that are VOLUNTEER run. They are the volunteer's council contact point person.
Yes, most of us volunteers are spread thin. However, many of us realize that if we want that extra BALOO training, or that district PWD, or that Cub Fun day, that we can not just sit around and expect the Scouting Fairy to magically provide them for us. We have to do it ourselves. So we go to Roundtables, talk to other volunteers, talk to DE's, and volunteer more of our time to help get it done. The DE can help, but it is the VOLUNTEER that does the work.
The DE is, after all, only 1 person. That one person is often spread quite thin themselves.
If you want district/council level activities than you find a way to volunteer your time at BOTH the unit, and district/council level.
Perhaps your council is simply different from mine.
Our DEs do facilitate community, and council resources for their volunteers. Of course some DEs are better at it than others.
Training - One of the reasons that BSA instituted the online training was because in-person training was often not attended well due to the large variety of people's schedules. Folks who could not get to in-person, were able to do it, at their own convenience, online. That said, councils still offer in-person training. Perhaps not as often as before, but it is still available. For training like BALOO, often there has to be a minimum number of folks registered to take it in order for it to be financially viable to put on. I have seen training cancelled because only 1 or 2 folks signed up.
Keep in mind that you do not have to ONLY attend training in your own district, or council. If a neighboring district, or council, has the training you want, at a time/location that works for you, you can take it there. Make sure to get a completion card from the Course Director. Give a copy to the Secretary at your Council offices and ask that your training records be updated.
If you need a training, like BALOO, and can not find it offered ANYWHERE, you should contact your District Training Chair (call your council, or check your district web page for contact info) for help.
Program consistency - Training is NOT nonexistent. It is ALWAYS available online. The BSA program itself IS consistent. Everyone is supposed to be following the published BSA program. However, people are not all the same. Some folks just would rather run the John Doe program version. They think their way is easier, better, what has always been done, etc. Also, Charter Organizations are able to make modifications to customize the program for their members. Bottom line - even with 24/7 training there will still be inconsistencies between your Pack, and the Pack down the road. Keep in mind that this is NOT always a bad thing.
District run programs - Adding one, or more, paid persons to just handle district programs is an expense that most councils could not justify. If council had to add paid full time staff, the number of events that they could afford to run would be drastically reduced.
I suggest that you might find it interesting to attend one of your District's Roundtables, and talk to your DE, and some of the other key District volunteers, there. They might be able to answer your concerns better than I have as they have knowledge specific to your District/Council.
Happy Scouting!
Thanks Scoutnut. Good advice. Unfortunately I have already pursued most of it.
Our district has been without a training chair. Only recently at a round table I learned that we have a person that has stepped up. In the interim, I had been in contact with my DE and even others at council re. training....
I have attended roundtables, though not as many as I'd like due to wife's work schedule.
As i mentioned, back when I was actively searching for training I did scour all neighboring districts calendars too.
I did run into the issue you mentioned of poor registration for courses leading to cancelations. I chalked it up to a few points.... at the time, the trining chair was a person volunteering as a stand in, not full time effort in the position, so there was a lack of advertising about the classes. Also, there wasn't classes offered at convenient times, but I was bent on going if I could swing it...... again I chalked it up to volunteer limitations.....
Oh well, hopefully things will improve for us novice Scouters grasping for strong mentors......
Basementdweller commented03-15-2013, 02:00 PMEditing a commentLooking for a mentor, visit other troop or packs programs.....Find one you like and partner or buddy up with the CM or SM...... I have done that and it does help.
My new one does a lot! We get weekly emails of the stuff going on in council, district and etc. with the attached flyers. He is making the rounds to each unit this year to personally get to know them. I think he finds Scouting exciting as he is on many events and boards... *laughing
I truly LOVE the weekly emails that topics oriented.

Paul McCartney Standards Set Brings Home A Grammy
Monday, February 11, 2013
Paul McCartney was able to take home a single Grammy Award last night (February 11th) for his standards set Kisses On The Bottom, which won the statue for "Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album." The album beat out a pair of high profile holiday collections, including Carole King's A Holiday Carole and Michael Buble's Christmas. McCartney's two other shots at awards this year fell short, with his Ram - Paul McCartney Archive Collection (Deluxe Edition) losing to the Beach Boys' The Smile Sessions in the "Best Historical Album" category, along with losing out in the "Special Limited Edition Package" category to Woody At 100: The Woody Guthrie Centennial Collection.
In other Beatles related losses, the recent release The Beatles With Tony Sheridan - First Recordings: 50th Anniversary Edition lost out in the "Best Album Notes" category to the Ray Charles box set, Singular Genius: The Complete ABC Singles.
As most McCartney fans are well aware of, McCartney -- who owns the publishing on multitude of pre-1950's songs -- a standards collection was always on his back burner. He told us about the times in recent years that kept his Kisses On The Bottom album from becoming a reality" "So, years later, I still had this dream to do these songs, but every time I came to make this album, someone else would make one. Like I thought, 'Right! Now's the time!' Then Robbie Williams came out with one -- I thought, I can't do it now, because it's gonna look like I'm jumping on his bandwagon. And then that dust settled down, so I thought now's the time and Rod Stewart come out with one -- can't do it now."
McCartney feels that the classic love songs of the 20's, 30's, and 40's are almost a rite of passage for young lovers: "Y'know, I think young kids these days, they don't hear 'em, but immediately you kind of fall in love and all that stuff. . . (sings) 'When I fall in love. . . ' starts to sound good, y'know, that stuff -- so, um, I love it."

any novel about a autocrat/dictator/emperor
what I'm looking for is a novel about a dictator, or any kind of autocratic ruler. something that outlines his rise to power and how he dealt with those opposed to him. how he became powerful, how he staged a coup and wars/conquests etc.
the only books that have had this theme that i can think of is
fitzpatrick's war and I, Mengsk.
if you guys have any that you can recommend i would greatly appreciate it.
it could be near future, alternate history far future etc doesn't matter.
currently I'm looking into a series called the keepers. the first book supposedly chronicles the rise another german dictator named Geiseric. i haven't even gotten the book yet but its the only one in my list of choices so far
thank you

Bio of a Space Tyrant. Very interesting story of a boy who rises to dictatorial powers as a man, then steps aside before death. A bit tedious at times, and some of the allegories (metaphors?) used were like being hit in the head, but overall an enjoyable series.

The Chung Kuo series by David Wingrove. Just finished reading the third in the series, The Middle Kingdom.
A future world run by the Chinese/Han. Not so much the tale of one dictator but a series of families - the Seven - and their global rule.
Predates Game of Thrones, but was reminded of it, albeit in an SF setting. 1990's editions referred to it as a cross between Blade Runner and Shogun, which actually isn't bad.
Can't recommend these highly enough.

Well let's see, you can start with SM Stirling. A lot of his books feature this type of character. They exist in his Nantucket Series and there are at least two particularly badass tyrants spread over his Emberverse series (which is still in progress!). He also showcases a slightly more sympathetic autocrat in the novel Conquistador.
You can also try Harry Turtledove's alternate history books that follow an America where the South wins its independence in the Civil War and follows that outcome through eighty years of subsequent history. The chief bad guy dictator here is Jake Featherstone. I should be able to scare up some some with a little thought.

As the legislative year ended in Michigan, the new reported that "Gov. Jennifer Granholm has gone to a Lansing brew pub to sign a law banning smoking."
Michigan lost 89,844 residents from 2005 to 2008, according to a new MSU report released today. … MSU Land Policy Institute Director Soji Adelaja said the decline was largely attributable to people who moved to other states seeking job opportunities and "better quality of life." I would say that "better quality of life" is a place where the ruling class doesn't think that passing more laws will make people want to live there.Read »

Tres Elegant Knit Tea-Length Travel Dress 55 56
GIFT FOR MY DAUGHTER. This dress is to be used as a background to show off jackets, scarves, and sweaters. November 20, 2014
I ordered a size Large and felt that it was a bit snug so returned the dress for an Extra Large. This dress came and the center seam was crooked (it canted severely to the right) and the dress smelled horrible. It had a very strong chemical odor. September 5, 2014
So comfortable and nice fit. Great length and laundries well. October 16, 2014
Almost perfect A little loose afraid to buy large not ex lg but a littler loose. Dont want it to be tight. August 28, 2014
Awful I returned this product immediately. The fabric is not at all what I thought it would be. Plus, the seams of the dress are exposed and in a contrasting color. Not what I was hoping for. August 20, 2014
Returtned Immediately There is nothing elegant about this dress. The material was awful and the top stiching on seams was horrible looking. I returned it right away and ordered a different style. I hope it will be much better. August 13, 2014
Seams unseemly This goes back. I love the fabric and the fit. Overall, it's a good value, but the seams down the front and back of the dress are double-stitched on the outside so that they mar the smooth lines of the dress. August 7, 2014
Worthwhile value This is a classic dress that I am sure I will wear for years. It can be dressed up or worn simply with sandals. As an added plus it'll pack nicely when necessary. I had been watching this dress for years and when it came on sale I finally decided to buy it. I am glad I did. August 2, 2014

Classic Fit Perfect Fit Capris 9 9
Best purchase ever Perfect fit! Quality fabric. Decided to order an additional pair! April 2, 2014
Nice fit and style Looking for capris for a winter cruise; these were a nice find. At 5' 8" 145 lbs, these are snug enough to look good without being uncomfortable and they have a lot of stretch. Length is mid calf, which is an attractive length for capris. March 11, 2014
Quality product Wanted white capris for cruising.....have washed twice and fit is great. Now to go on next cruise. February 26, 2014
Just ordered two more pair! These capris are great! They are true to fit, and the fabric has a really nice, polished feel to it. February 7, 2014
Great Capris Perfect, fit great, do not bag in the knees, hold their shape, wash nicely, no ironing needed. July 27, 2013
Perfect fit These pants fit perfectly and always look fresh. Pretty much wash and wear. June 5, 2013
Wrinkle Free? I was expecting the fabric to be more wrinkle resistant so I don't know that I will be traveling with these Capris as I had planned. June 4, 2013
best fit ever, I bought 5 pair! fit and quality are fantastic! Only wish there were more colors to choose from. May 10, 2013

Apricot Chicken Curry
The farmers market was full of apricots and I wanted to do something with them. I remembered seeing a recipe for a Thai inspired apricot chicken a while ago and I liked the sound of using apricots in a savoury dish. I also really like the sound of using Thai flavours as I was itching to use some more of the red curry paste that I had just made. In addition to an apricot sauce I wanted nice chunks of apricots as well as the chicken to form the body of the curry. I was thinking that I would make a pretty standard Thai curry except that the coconut milk would be replaced by pureed apricots. Since I was already using apricots I thought that it would be nice to use some apricot preserves for the sweetener instead of the palm sugar. The apricot chicken curry came together quickly and easily and it was really good! The apricot sauce was a nice balance of sweet, salty, tart and spicy and it was so full of apricot goodness. I really enjoyed the fruit based curry sauce. I served the apricot chicken curry on some aromatic coconut jasmine rice.
4 apricots (stoned and peeled)
1 tablespoon apricot preserves
2 tablespoons fish sauce
1/2 lime (juice and zest)
1 tablespoon oil
1 tablespoon red curry paste
1 pound chicken breast (cut into bit sized pieces)
6 apricots (stoned and peeled and cut into bite sized pieces)
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1 red chili (sliced)
1. Puree the apricots, apricot preserves, fish sauce, lime juice and zest in a food processor.
2. Heat the oil in a pan.
3. Add the red curry paste and saute for a minute.
4. Add the chicken and the apricot sauce and simmer until the chicken is cooked, about 6-10 minutes.
5. Add the apricots and simmer for a minute.
6. Remove from the heat and stir in the cilantro.
7. Serve on coconut jasmine rice and garnish with sliced red chilies.

"Where is book 2?"
I immediately looked for more from this author after I listened to ready player one. This story is full of detail and imagination. You'll like it even if you aren't a gamer. Very clever plot and excellent narration by Wheaton.
"Middle of the road for Scalzi"
I like John Scalzi's work so just calm down. This book was okay, original idea, but the story didn't wow me. Wheaton did a good job as usual and it kept me interested all the way through. Good. Just not as good as his other books.
"If the "Little House on the Prairie" had magic."
Interesting concept. I liked it enough to finish listening to it and ended in a place that suggests a sequel. Nothing terribly new or exciting for the fantasy reader. Might be a fun story for the fans of "Ann of Green Gables" or "Sara, Plain and Tall"
"Not bad"
I liked it. Kept me listening. First person narrative from an elite hit man. The author stretches believability in more than a few places and probably could have wrapped it up sooner, but all and all I think it's worth a listen.
"I want to part with this guy!"
Wildly raunchy and unbelievable tales of a globetrotting life working on an oil drill rig made believable by the master story telling skills of Paul Carter. I loved every minute of it.
Imagine that you are an Alien race trying to make first contact with earth but are a little worried about the bad wrap you've been getting in the movies. What do you do? You get yourself a Hollywood agent. John Scalzi does a wonderful job in this absurdly funny caper. Original, well narrated and a lot of fun.
"Loved it!"
This is an amusingly clever tale of online deity shopping gone wrong. In an attempt to improve their situation Phil and Teri sign up as the newest followers of Lucky, a minor god of fortune. Lucky fails to tell the young couple about his baggage, mainly a former girlfriend and goddess of misery who is stalking him and the god of wrath and destruction that is trying to poach and eat Lucky's followers in a misguided game of one-upmanship. It's original, funny and well written.
"Amusing concept"
I really like the idea of an overweight vampire. It's fresh and new and it promises something different. Alhough it was original it really didn't take off. Wasn't as clever as I hoped it would and it falls a little flat. No believability in dialog or characters either. There were some great ideas, but all and all it reminds me of a rough draft. In different hands this story really could have turned out well.
"This guy can write."
Pulitzer Prize winning author Rick Bragg is a wizard with words. The Prince of Frogtown is one of several books he wrote about his family and life growing up dirt poor in the rural south in the 50's and 60's. Author narrated, I was mesmerized by his voice. The slow southern drawl and apt description of life in a mill town was hypnotic. Totally creditworthy.
"The Bloody Edge"
Dark magic. Set in England in a secret witch society run but "white" witches. The main character, Nathan Edge is a mix of half white and half black witch blood. His mother forced to kill herself and his father on the run, Nathan's mixed parentage makes him an outcast of sorts, mistreated and openly abused by the witch council. The abuse is very graphic and might put some readers off. The ending is rather abrupt, but I'm looking forward to the next installment.
"Sci-fi/fantasy Comedy"
This is a delightfully funny tale about a former super villain and super genius, Emperor Mollusk, who is so incredibly brilliant, he becomes bored and creates dooms day inventions that he then must save the earth from. Very entertaining. Great narration. The story wandered a little but still delivered a great listen.

Shot Online
Shot Online is a unique realistic 3D Golf MMO. Start by selecting one of the game's six playable characters and advance your golf skills by competing against players online. With 18 courses, 7 characters and 9 different game modes Shot Online feels like a complete golfing experience.
Publisher: GamesCampus
Playerbase: Medium
Graphics: Medium Quality
Type: MMO
EXP Rate: High
PvP: N/A
Filesize: 526 MB
Pros: +Unique gameplay. +Catchy music. +Great deal of variety (18 Courses, 7 Characters and 9 Game Modes).
Cons: -Games could take an incredibly long time. -Too much downtime (Waiting for your turn). -Graphics could use an upgrade.
Shot Online Overview
Come on, a Golf MMO? What a novel concept! I'm surprised that no other MMORPG publisher launched something similar. Well, OG Planet had Albatross18, an anime inspired cartoony golfing game, but that was recently shut down. So as it stands, Shot Online is the only golf MMO out there. Odds are if you're like me the concept of a golf simulation sounds pretty boring, but the game is surprisingly fun. I've played Golf only once in real life and it wasn't even remotely exciting, but luckily, I had a lot more fun in Shot Online than I did at real life Golf. The game has an incredibly amount of variety and simple yet effective game mechanics. If you're even remotely interested in Golf, Shot Online is well worth the download.

Shot Online Review
By Omer Altay
When I first heard of Shot Online I immediately told myself I would give the game a try just because of the game's novelty concept. When I hear the term 'MMO sports game', the first thing that pops into my head is some sort of extreme sports title like Project Powder or Project Torque, not a golfing game. Not to bash on golfing, but I figured that there would be some sort of Skateboarding or Football MMO released well before a golfing game, but I was wrong. The only other golfing MMO aside from Shot Online is Albatross18 by OG Planet, but that was unfortunately shut down recently. Albatross18 had cute cartoony graphics while Shot Online aimed to be more realistic. Looks like realistic beats cute graphics this time around. The game has an incredible amount of variety and solid game mechanics. If you're even remotely interested in Golf, Shot Online is certainly worth checking out.
First Impressions
The first thing that I noticed in Shot Online was the game's lack of character customization. Far too many games neglect this simple yet incredibly important feature, and unfortunately Shot Online does as well. The game has seven avatars and each has their own strengths and weaknesses. The number of avatars is great, but the game would have felt more original if players could actually customize their avatar rather than simply selecting a premade one. Upon actually entering the game I was presented with the game's tutorial. It was short, rewarding and informative, so I recommend players pay attention. Upon finishing the tutorial I found my character in the game's town 'square'. The square area in Shot Online is a place outside of the game's many golf courses where players can walk around, purchase items, obtain quests and socialize. It's basically the 'hub' of the Shot Online world where players can access all of the other parts of the game. What really makes Shot Online so enjoyable though is its simple, yet fun gameplay.
Core Gameplay
Shot Online's gameplay is simple to learn but difficult to master. I lost the first five matches I played online, as the folks I played with were much better than I was. The game's core gameplay though is actually very simple. The game utilizes one of those 'power' meters on the screen. You know, the ones that constantly fill up and have to be timed perfectly so that players hit the 'space' button at the perfect power needed and 100% accuracy. The more power you put into your shot, the further the ball will travel. Like real life golf, Shot Online has numerous different clubs, each with their own purpose. The '1Wood' club for example is best used at the start of the match while you're smacking the ball at the Tee, as it has the most power in the game. The Iron clubs tend to be more accurate than the wooden ones, but their drawback is that they have less power. Players can easily see where their ball will land with each of their clubs simply by click the 'tab' key, so I strongly recommend newbies to constantly check if they're using the best club for each shot before actually taking a swing. The game actually explains all of this pretty thoroughly in the game's short tutorial, but it takes a lot of practice to actually get a solid feel for the game. Like Gunbound, players also have to factor in the game's constantly changing wind speed before each swing otherwise even a well timed hits can be a miss.
The 'MMO' Components
Shot Online is a Golf MMO and so it makes sense to actually point out the game's 'MMO' components. Players can level up by gaining experience points online by simply doing well. Every level rewards players with 'stat points' that can be allocated to any of the game's four attributes Power, Impact, Skill and Stamina. Players start their journey in the world of Shot Online with around 30,000 of the game's currency. In order to join one of the games, players have to fork over a fixed amount of money for as an entrance fee which will be awarded to the round's winner. This actually makes the game a bit interesting, because when you actually win a round it feels much more rewarding to get someone else's money than to simply win money from the server. Players can use money won from golfing in the game's item stores where players can dress up their characters. Unfortunately, the folks over at Games Campus didn't spend nearly as much time developing the game's item store as they should have because the selection is extremely limited. There are literally like 10 different hats and t-shirts available in the store, and that's it. It really nags me when I play an MMO without a decent item shop, as I always feel as there simply isn't a point to playing an MMO if the game has a poorly stocked item shop. Unfortunately, this is a problem that plagues a lot of MMOs, so perhaps singling out Shot Online here is a bit unfair. The only games I can think of at the moment that have solid item shops are Combat Arms and Wolfteam. Sure, they're both shooting games, but Golf Online could have easily added a hundred different types of clubs to their store if they wanted to.
Other Features
Like most other MMOs, Shot Online has all of the traditional MMO staples like Questing, Guilds, Item and item trading. The game also has one interesting feature that I feel is well worth and that's the Tournament system, as it can be incredibly rewarding. If 20 players get together they can player in a tournament where they can each pitch in 20,000 for a whopping prize pool of 500,000. Hopefully, the folks publishing Shot Online expand on the tournament feature by different tiers of tournaments with different entry fees. 20,000 is actually quite a bit of money in the game, especially for a newbie. The last thing that I'd like mention about Shot Online is that the game is incredibly varied. It has a whopping 18 courses and 9 different game modes. Come on, how many other MMOs are out there with 9 different game modes? Not many. The fact is, Shot Online is an incredible golfing game. It has solid gameplay and a moderately sized community.
Final Verdict – Great
Shot Online is well worth playing for those that are fans of golf. If you have no interest in the sport, then you may want to look elsewhere, as even though the game is good, it's not that appealing for folks that dislike the sport. The only reason the game is rated 'great' is because its a good golfing game and those that enjoy the sport will appreciate it. The game has simple solid mechanics and a lot of variety. The only real drawback to Shot Online is its limited customization, but if you even remotely like golf, the game is well worth the download.

Oil Spill in Gulf
On April 20, an explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon oil rig killed 11 workers and launched the ongoing oil spill in the Gulf. What's the effect on wildlife? The fishing industry? Tourism?
WUSF gets beyond sensational headlines and speaks directly with scientists, officials and Florida residents to bring you the answers you need to know.
Florida's response to the ongoing spill has been to set up an Incident Command Post at the Fish and Wildlife Research Institute in St. Petersburg. The Coast Guard, BP officials and members from several state and local agencies are part of the center.
Additionally, researchers are responding to the Gulf of Mexico oil spill from the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science in St. Petersburg and Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota.
Scientists are working to track the oil spill both on and below the surface. And they're working to measure its affects on marine life, wildlife and the shoreline ecosystems.
Recent News Updates
Recent Episode Updates
Fish with lesions, diseased livers and spleens - and parts of the bottom of the Gulf of Mexico coated with a toxic slime. These are some of the things researchers continue to find three years after the Deepwater Horizon well exploded. A team based at the University of South Florida's College of Marine Science has been taking samples in the Gulf to determine the lingering effects of the oil spill. It's called C-IMAGE, which stands for the Center for Integrated Modeling and Analysis of the Gulf Ecosystem. It's a collaboration of chemists, engineers, biologists - even computer scientists. Together, they're trying to figure out exactly what a deep water blowout does to the marine ecosystem - and what to expect in future blowouts.
Florida Matters examines the ongoing impact the spill has on our community and along the Gulf Coast, and what progress has been made in the restoration efforts.
During the program, Florida's leading scientists discuss their continuing role in measuring the effects of the oil spill. We compare how two governors responded to the spill – both Gov. Crist, who was on the ground during the event, and now Gov. Scott.
GulfWatch: One Year Later is a WUSF Production in partnership with WEDU and Bright House Networks.
At the close of 2010, we're looking back at some of the news stories and the way that they affected our lives. They are the voices and the people that made headlines -- or that simply made us pause during our busy lives, and listen.
Starting in April, for three months, oil gushed into the Gulf from the site of the Deepwater Horizon rig. Some oil was captured or washed ashore. Most of it is unaccounted for – and that's what has scientists worried.
Researchers from the University of South Florida College of Marine science say we're just beginning to get a true picture of the damage to wildlife from the spill.
In November, these scientists answered questions at a forum on the oil spill sponsored by USF College of Marine Science, the Tampa Bay Beaches Chamber of Commerce, Sierra Club Florida and several other environmental groups.
They answer questions about BP's funding of oil spill research and how that affects their independence; the current state of knowledge about damage to fish and other ocean organisms, and why the oil did not spread to other parts of Florida, as originally feared.
Also speaking at the forum were a panel of environmentalists for their take on the oil spill response – and whether the Obama Administration is doing what it should in restoring the Gulf.
As we've heard, the affects of the oil spill appear to be with us for years to come. And WUSF Public Media is committed to covering the spill's aftermath, as part of a consortium of Gulf public television and radio stations.
You can follow our ongoing coverage from reporter Steve Newborn and the entire WUSF reporting team on our website under the "Oil Spill in the Gulf" logo, where you can find more than 100 stories and eight episodes of Florida Matters devoted to spill coverage.
Oil giant BP has promised to pay for the damage caused by the Gulf of Mexico oil spill. For many fishermen and beachside hotels and restaurants, the company's money may be all that keeps them from losing their businesses. And now, some local governments are getting in on the claims process, hoping to recoup lost revenues they say are related to the spill. We'll explore how the claims process works and what types of claims BP will be paying.

WUSF's University Beat producer Mark Schreiner joined oceanographers and engineers from USF's College of Marine Science aboard the research vessel Weatherbird II on a recent four-day mission into the Gulf of Mexico. This week's University Beat on WUSF 89.7 FM brings you the first of a pair of reports that takes you along as they work on monitoring devices that could help protect the Bay area from the Deepwater Horizon oil disaster.
Social scientists will tell you that every disaster -- natural or man-made -- takes a mental toll on those living through it. More than two months into the Gulf oil spill, we look at the psychological impact of this catastrophe, including how it's different for those who have oil on their shores and those who are still watching, waiting and hoping. And we talk about media coverage of the spill and whether we're all tired of hearing about it.
Pools of oil are washing ashore along Florida's coast, coating the sand with tar balls and sludge. And though it's only panhandle beaches that have oil on them so far, hoteliers and tourism officials in the Bay area say visitors think all the state's coastline is covered. In the shadow of the Gulf oil spill, we'll check in on business along the Bay area's beaches.

Is it a waffle or a flip-flop or just a revised opinion based on new evidence? The ongoing oil spill in the Gulf has some elected leaders and political candidates scrambling to point out their opposition to offshore drilling -- even if they once thought it was a good idea. We look how the politics of offshore drilling is moving candidates and what it might mean in November.
Florida lawmakers have commissioned reports and held hearings as they explore opening state-controlled waters for oil and gas exploration. The question of offshore drilling has been floating around Tallahassee for years, and it looked like the incoming leadership in the Legislature was poised to allow drilling closer to Florida's Gulf coast than ever before. But then Deepwater Horizon exploded in April and oil has been pouring into the Gulf ever since. We'll look at how that's changed the state's offshore drilling conversation.

the third display isn't more difficult to program than the first two, so I'd expect all three outputs to start working at the same time.
Edit: hmm, you can use DVI+DVI+DisplayPort or DVI+HDMI+DisplayPort. Looks like DisplayPort isn't possible yet. Then again, this page claims that DVI over DisplayPort works anyway. So after all, I don't know more than you do.

Steve Jobs' Death Resonates Across Music World
Steve Jobs' death from cancer on Wednesday at age 56 left many musicians mourning a man whose inventive intelligence utterly reshaped how their work is bought, sold, and heard.
"Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being," the company said in a statement on its website. "Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve lost a dear friend an an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple."
Many musicians were similarly effusive in their praise for the man who, after his return to Apple in the 1990s, went on to pioneer the digital music industry. In 2001, Apple launched the iPod. The iTunes Music Store followed in 2003. Since then, the company has added the iPhone smart-phone and the iPad tablet. Apple now stands as the largest music retailer, and it has a 70% share of the market in digital music players, according to The Wall Street Journal.
A Twitter post from Coldplay sums up much of the online response from the music world. "Just learned the terrible news of Steve Jobs' passing," the post says. "What an incredible, inspiring life. Changed the world in so many ways. RiP Steve."
From Snoop Dogg to Nine Inch Nails' Trent Reznor, other performers shared similar sentiments, often thanking the late Jobs for all that he developed. Nicki Minaj called him "an innovator," Janelle Monáe remembered him as "an eternal inspiration,"while to Diddy, Jobs remains "a Bad Mother fucka!" Fall Out Boy rocker Pete Wentz lauded "a true legend"; indie-poppers Passion Pit eulogized "a true magician."
Some of the artists honoring Jobs took a more personal approach. The Decemberists' Colin Meloy remembered writing stories on "a squat, beige Mac" his father brought home in 1984. Public Enemy's Chuck D recalled wanting two Apple computers as payment instead of cash after a 1996 webcast for the company at Madison Square Garden.
Such is Jobs' legacy that the technologies he innovated made the tributes to him possible. Atlanta garage-punks the Black Lips wrote, "I wouldn't even have the means to be tweeting this dumb ass Shit if it weren't for Steve job. Sent from my I phone." Added Vampire Weekend's Rostam Batmanglij: "Steve Jobs R.I.P. #tweetedfromanapplecomputer." Brooklyn indie rockers the Antlers tweeted their respects from their iPhone, while as Brooklyn indie-poppers Hooray for Earth put it, "Highly likely that without Steve Jobs I'd be playing music alone in my apartment forever."
Twitter posts honoring Jobs' innovations also came from Blink-182, the Black Eyed Peas' Will.i.am, Weird Al Yankovic, the Roots' ?uestlove, She and Him's Zooey Deschanel, Good Charlotte's Joel Madden, and hip-hop rapper-producer Swizz Beatz, among many others.
