That all tells me that IGE and CGE will probably die out very soon.
Who in their right mind would play a potentially failing STF if you get the same rewards from just playing any STF?
IGE has a high chance of failing the optional, optional in Season 7 = +25% marks, nobody is going to want it to fail now, so lets go for the stfs with the easy optionals.
CGE? Heck with Armek at the end and the possibility of the team already failing mid map at the puzzles... who is going to play that lengthy STF ever again?
For the Accolades maybe but thats about it.
Having one piece of gear at the end of every STF made a whole lot of sense if you look at it that way.

Energy is vital to the functioning of our societies. We need solutions that make it possible to combine sound economic growth with little environmental impact and customer convenience. District Energy is the key to sustainability. Its infrastructure enables the biggest carbon footprint reductions by allowing cities to harvest the potential renewable energies and surplus heat that otherwise would be wasted and thereby substituting fossil fuels.
The Global District Energy Climate Award and its event is the occasion where outstanding innovative projects are awarded.
Plan to attend the 4th Global District Energy Climate Award
- European Ceremony
Monday 27 April 2015
Where: The Original Sokos Hotel Viru – Viru Väljak 4, EE-10111 Tallinn
16.00 – 17.30 Global District Energy Climate Awards – European Ceremony
The European Ceremony will be held during the Euroheat & Power Congress www.ehpcongress.org and is the highlight of the 1st congress day!

I purchased these earrings as a gift. They are petite but I expected that based on a review that compared them to the size of a dime. That was helpful to know. They were very nice looking, understated but classy. I just got the thank you in the mail and the friend I gave them to said that they're are "beautiful." Hopefully they'll wear well.
One of my favorite go to earrings. Goes with everything. Great size and secure without a clasp. I recommend!
I LOVE these earrings. I get compliments every time I wear them and they will look great with almost everything you wear. Definite must buy!
Love these earrings, they are so pretty. they are comfortable. and easy to wear. i put a small earring stopper and bent the post more together. Gently i have no problem keeping them in my ears. Just love them. Bought a.Celtic eternal pendant.to go with these and they.look good together. Highly recommend these.
These ate cute earrings..right size. Not too small or large. Not too long either.
These earrings are cute and not too big and heavy. If you have a problem with heavy earrings, these are pretty light.
This item is exactly as advertised
I love the intricate weave and size of these earrings. They are dainty with just the right "dangle". They are perfect for casual or dress occasions and I love them. These will become my go to earrings.
nice length.. not too long like most trendy earrings on the market. Sparkle is their without the BLING, can wear with most anything. Not too heavy either
I bought these several years ago and lost one. Bought a new pair because I missed wearing them.

A plan on how to reorganize federal agencies sent
to President Barack Obama on June 9 by the Office of Management and Budget
should help entrepreneurs seeking to expand businesses and create jobs, reports Federal News Radio.
Ideas for the plan were solicited from current and past
agency leaders and front line employees as well as advice from businesses,
outside experts, members of Congress and their staff members to
determine what will work and to identify "where duplication and fragmentation
exist…" OMB Spokeswoman Moira Mack said in an e-mail message.
In his 2011 State of the Union address, Obama called
for the first major reorganization since 2003 to focus on agencies that deal
with trade, exports and economic competitiveness, the news report noted.

They never asked my advice but I will give it anyway. Several agencies/departments have regulatory and scientific functions besides the promotion of their main area. Commerce regulation in any agency/department should be moved to the Dept of Commerce and the funding/promotion of scientific research from any/all agencies/departments should be moved to a Dept of Science&Technology.

We reserved this room on Orbitz and were horrified when we opened the door. It was nothing like the pictures in the brochure. There was nothing on the walls, one wall was red with the rest being whitish, the bedspread was in a ball on the bed, and soiled towels were in the small, dirty bathroom. A very old bureau and TV were the only other furniture in the room. The smell in the room was overpowering! Orbitz did get all my money back but I will not be using them or Expedia, who also has this nasty hotel on their site. This hotel does not even deserve a 1! I am sure this room was a pay by the hour room. Don't be fooled by their brochure!

Doctor Who or Futurama?

Doctor Who or Futurama?
Unfortunately, my even older Ironman required a CRT monitor for the interface, so had to be consigned to the Drawer Of Ancient Technology eventually. Sort of dabbled with writing code for it while it lived, though; still have the SDK (or whatever Timex called it) around somewhere.
Managed to crash it within about 3 seconds of starting it.
"General Protection Fault in UTOPIA.DLL" or something...
Yep, love my Aeropress. No crema though. Apparently you can get a metal mesh to replace the paper disc that allows crema, but that'd add faff too.
Should that be "reverse the neutrality of the polariton flow"?
The hero pic used at the top of the article has been my desktop background since it was released in 2012.
I like your thinking. :)
Just beautiful.
Just replace www in the url with an m and... presto! stupid ginormous image be gone!
100,000 signatures won't necessarily force a debate; it just means they might think about possibly having a debate, if they have time.
Well, technically, as your sphincters relax...
As any fule kno...
If it's breadth of time you're after, I rather enjoyed Deep Time by David Darling some time (SWIDT?) ago.
Probably not as accurate as it used to be, but still interesting I think.
I guess that why it's termed Artificial Intelligence rather than Artificial Sapience?
Agree with you about human/machine hybridization. I suspect that'll be the way of it. More of an evolution than a revolution.
Or Lemon Jelly...
"Zero G and I feel fine"
"Dirt or debris, you're coming with me."
Clearly a "homage" to the original RoboCop, Shirley?
I remember my dad relating how he had to return an e-type Jag once after a drunken purchase.
Long before the www and online shopping, though.
Presumably before drunk driving laws too... :(
Pretty sure I read somewhere that was true; UK has greater incidence of obesity per capita than US but, as usual, Yanks tend to take it to extremes. ;)
and you don't even get a slice of lemon?
Thanks for that link - hilarious!
I expect they'd be mostly about what the other person looked like then.
Here's a couple:
I believe the original Descent has also been ported to Android. Was a good game back in the day. Unless you suffered from motion sickness...
Only if you look at the single digits.
I've been carting a liquid metal usb stick around in my pocket for years. It's not so much scratched as developed a kind of patina. I've been annoyed with Apple for a long time now for stitching up the liquid metal contract; I would defo love another higher capacity usb stick made with it, damn good stuff.
My old TF101 has a rather large space in its keyboard between the battery packs with a metal weight to stop it tipping over. Easily replaced with something a bit more "energetic".
Bring back the Microsoft Trackball Explorer. My ancient one is now on its last legs and I don't know what I'm gonna do without it.
Always found IR remote control quite handy on my RX3715.
Talking about old school, have you seen the capacity of USB sticks recently?
Don't think marko is a username... WiFi SSID, Shirly?
They've been using this to create short video loops on the Bing home page.
Yes, I'm one of the few people who use Bing (well, every now and then anyway, for specific purposes).
I expect the usual has happened, the various MAFIAA type organizations have come wading in too strong, demanding this and that, thereby pissing off the national and local plod, who then feel there's no need to be hasty about an "issue" that's not actually risking anyone's life or limb.
Shooting up Europa? Won't that annoy the monoliths?
So the North American "Bell" would be the equivalent of 1 UK "TalkTalk", then?
There is no dark side of the moon really - as a matter of fact, it's all dark...
That's today's playlist sorted then.
According to the tfl website, that's exactly what you'll have to do:
"If you keep your contactless payment card and Oyster card together (for instance in a wallet) and touch them on the yellow card reader together, the reader will normally reject them both. This is because we can't be sure which card you want to use. If you have more than one contactless card (Oyster card, payment card or building pass), please choose the card that you intend to pay with, and touch it on its own on the yellow card reader."
While not exactly what you'd call a tourist destination, I have to say it's very pretty when you drive past it at night with all the mining infrastructure lit up like a Christmas tree.
Could be. I spend most of the time I'm awake in front of a computer screen of some sort. I find that it's when I try to use the "correct" posture that my back, shoulders and neck start to ache. A sort of semi-slouch, leaning slightly to each side alternately, seems to be my most comfortable position.
Would be nice to think I'm evolving into something, but I suspect it's more likely I've crippled myself from a life of sedentary jobs and dedicated laziness when it comes to exercise.
Bloody rubbish iOS - can't even crash properly. Where's the proper BSOD, huh?
Always feel like smashing those things. Every time I've tried to use one in Sainsburys or B&Q, they've gone wrong. EVERY SINGLE TIME.
Sorry. I feel better now. :)
Looks to me like their 1337 skillz may be somewhat out of date, if the "copyright 2005" at the bottom of the page is anything to go by...
Maybe it's Obelix' gravitational field?
Apparently it was someone's "pet" they'd trained to box.
Have they talked to Adobe? Seems to me that most "activity" running on a page is Flash animations. Don't know if there's already some kind of "visibility" detection in Flash to allow it to "take a break" when no-ones looking?
As Farsi (IIRC) is read right-to-left, surely it'd be more like Ozni or perhaps Ozzi?
Funny enough Ozni is also of Hebrew origins... Bingo! Another conspiracy is born. :)
Ah, that makes more sense now - and sounds much more useful.
Thanks for that.
So the device absorbs a laser beam by using another laser to convert it to heat?
Pretty sure I could absorb a laser beam and convert it to heat using say, a house brick?
Are you sure?
Trouble is I came to the UK...
Because he doesn't get everyone to "black up" to make himself feel better, perhaps?
They're not mocking his physical characteristics, They're mocking his mental problems. So much more acceptable nowadays...

Active Collective Debuts Alongside Swim Collective
Buyer attendance doubled over last August's edition of Swim Collective, according to Executive Show Director Shannon Leggett.

While much of the Eastern Seaboard suffered under a cold snap Jan. 8–10, weather in Orlando, Fla. was a good backdrop to Surf Expo, the veteran trade show for surfing and other water sports.

This is great! Nicely arranged and catchy too! The combination of the different sound effects (like the crickets and wind effect) adds a great deal of depth to the song and I can imagine myself stargazing due to that fact. The guitar work is fantastic, and I have to commend your acoustic/electric blending. Very effective. Overall, this song is very soothing and for some reason I'm getting a strange sense of nostalgia from it. Well done! Keep it up! :D
Jonah-B responds:
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

This page provides a range of broadband-related statistics on OECD countries with data through Feb. 2015.
The Internet of things, also known as the Internet of everything or the industrial internet, is a term applied to the next 50 billion machines and devices that will go online in the coming two decades. All stakeholders will have to evaluate whether their policies and practices enable or inhibit the ability of economies and societies to seize the benefits.
A key issue for policy makers and regulators is market structures that will best deliver efficient and inclusive mobile communication services. This report addresses recent experience in selected countries that have changed or held constant the number of facilities-based operators; and initial experience and key questions that have arisen with wireless network sharing.
This series examines a wide range of activities aimed at improving our understanding of how information and communication technologies contribute to sustainable economic growth and social well-being as well as their role in the shift toward knowledge-based societies.
In countries with four or more mobile operators benefits to consumers are visible through more competitive, more inclusive, and more understandable offers. International mobile roaming is another area where challenger brands are changing markets.
Enhancements to fixed broadband networks remain critical despite the growth in the use of wireless services. This report examines the development of fixed networks, barriers to their upgrading and regulatory challenges.
This report examines the approaches being taken to measure broadband performance by reviewing information on official speed tests to date as well as their strengths and drawbacks in methodologies, emerging good practices and the challenges in undertaking a harmonised approach across OECD countries.
A new OECD report finds empirical evidence that imposing mandatory higher charges for the completion (termination) of international inbound traffic suppresses demand. Moreover, governments that impose higher termination charges do not see their revenues increase proportionately.
The actual performance of Internet connections, particularly their speed, is critical to meeting various objectives set out by a range of stakeholders including consumers, policy makers and regulators. This page provides links to network speed tests in OECD countries.
Colombia has done much to strengthen the rules governing its telecommunication sector, but it must give its regulator more power to enforce them in order to increase competition, particularly in the highly concentrated mobile market, according to a new OECD report.

In 1937, the legendary Aviator changed the shape of sunglasses forever. It's now an inspiration for many, including Ray-Ban 3386 sunglasses. The unmistakable teardrop lens shape is softer but still wearable and stylish. Ray-Ban has then sculpted it into a wrapped shape. This provides more side protection and full coverage. Adjustable nose pads and metal brow bar have been borrowed from the original Aviator. This ensures that the 3386 offers retro styling and luxurious comfort. But the temples are made from propionate plastic allowing 3386 to be lightweight. The Ray-Ban signature is placed on the temples in metal and etched onto the lens. Many colours are to be chosen, each timeless. Ray-Ban 3386 is part of the Active collection, perfect for all sporty types.

EU-Canada trade deal delayed by agriculture dispute
|Report an Error
Share via Email
The row could delay a deal for several weeks, the officials said, threatening European efforts to launch separate trade negotiations with the United States, which is waiting to see how far the EU will open up its markets.
"They still have a way to go. Agriculture is the big sticking point," an industry source said.
Talks on a Canadian-EU trade deal began in 2009, and an agreement would be the EU's first with a country from the G7 club of major economies and could be worth roughly $28 billion from extra economic activity.
The EU remains opposed to increasing quotas of imported beef and pork from Canada, while Ottawa does not want to allow increased imports of EU dairy products, eggs and poultry.
"Europeans can't possibly give the amount of beef the Canadians are asking for. The Canadians are much more ambitious on the beef ask," the same industry source said.
The two had hoped to conclude a deal during talks between the Canadian and EU trade ministers this week in Canada, covering issues from pharmaceutical patents to energy, but sources say that is not now possible.
Increasing access to the Canadian dairy market was particularly important for the EU side, which expects prices to fall and European producers to become more competitive after the phase-out of a milk quota system in 2015.
The EU is the largest producer of milk in the world.
Canada and the EU have also been involved in a separate debate over how to classify oil produced from tar sands under the EU's Fuel Quality Directive, which Canada says are unfairly labelled as more polluting.

As revulsion against Indiana's Religious Freedom Restoration Act reverberates around the nation, with organizations and businesses threatening boycotts and even a shadow cast over the widely watched NCAA Final Four tournament this weekend, North Carolina legislators incredibly are considering a similar bill.
Driving to work last week, I was struck by a National Public Radio report from China.
Frank Langfitt, the network's China correspondent, had driven two brothers from Shanghai back to their native village, deep in the countryside. A theme of the piece was that both brothers, reared on a small farm where their parents still lived and where an outhouse was the toilet facility, had become successful lawyers in Shanghai.
Passion is more than an underrated word. It's an underrated way of life.
Nearly 40 years ago I met a community leader who would have a lasting impact on my life. He didn't know it then and neither did I. His name was Chuck.
One of the most interesting moments of the 2014 legislative session came in front of the Executive Mansion late last June, when Gov.Pat McCrory and House Speaker Thom Tillis appeared together with education advocates at a rally to tout a new teacher pay raise proposal that differed sharply from the plan the Senate was pushing.
To the extent that Roy Cooper has a reasonable chance of defeating Gov. Pat McCrory for reelection, it's because many of his fellow Democrats failed in their efforts to change the electoral process in 1980s and early 1990s.
"Were you a part of the Army that made the Indians leave their homes?"
David, my 5-year-old grandson, had been learning about American Indians in his preschool.
Am I the only person in America not making fun of Howard Schultz?
The Starbucks CEO bought himself a ton of ridicule recently when he attempted to jumpstart a national dialogue on race by having baristas write the words "Race Together" on customers' cups of Cinnamon Dolce Light Frappuccino Grande or Caffe Misto Venti with extra coconut.
My wife recently bought a new car. Well, not exactly "new new," but "newly used." Some experts say this is the best way to purchase vehicles because you get an almost-new car without paying for the excessive depreciation that occurs when a brand-new car is driven off the lot.
An abscess of anger seems to gnaw at Hillary Clinton, but the reasons for her resentments remain unclear. The world's oldest party, which governed the nation during two world wars and is the primary architect of America's regulatory and redistributive state, is eager to give her its presidential nomination, in recognition of ... what?
Steve Logan, former East Carolina University head football coach, recently remarked that things don't usually turn out well for head coaches. The same is often true for anyone who serves "at the pleasure" of someone or some group. UNC President Tom Ross is the latest example.
Lent is a time during the Christian year when many Christians note daily how God repetitively saves us. Lent can be a time for individual, careful reflection about where and when we are cruel to ourselves and where and when we are deeply mistaken about ourselves. It can be a time to inquire prayerfully about ways that a human life can become trapped in prosaic or original forms of evil.
What will the new political year in Washington bring? According to some analysts, the new GOP congressional majorities tilt more toward "the establishment" and away from the Tea Party wing. According to others, however, the new majorities are the starter's signal for a full-fledged campaign to "repeal" the Obama presidency and even impeach the President himself.
We expect the best of our students and teachers in the classroom, and we can do more to provide them the best learning environment possible. Durham Public Schools (DPS) has an unprecedented opportunity to save critical school funding to invest in facilities, teachers and school resources by transforming its operations to 100-percent renewable energy.
