I don't have high hopes for this. A good MMO requires a decent backstory, good gameplay etc. You can't just take a pretty engine and slap a cheap MMO on top. Oil Rush was bad enough.
One exception does not disprove a general rule. After all, I am not saying these games are not being made, just that they are not the industries main focus anymore. In general it looks like people are moving away from those types of games.

I'd adventure the hell out of this game provided it isn't a complete grindfest which is why so many MMOs suck. I want to have fun exploring and fighting other players or NPC armies that require large teas of players to take on. Not smash 5 billion digital rabbits into dust to gain 1 in 100+ levels that take a minimum of a year of grinding 4-6 hours a day in the hopes that I will eventually be able to be strong enough to not instantly die against other players that have already maxed their chars.
Not sure about the "industry" - it sounds too undefined to me, and I usually don't care for "mass produced" type of games. Games with good story like the Witcher series aren't common indeed, but it's like that with everything. There is "mass production" with minimal effort, with no well thought story and etc, and there is something really well made (and well doesn't mean that one has to spend tens of millions on it by the way).
Here is a good video on the subject: https://youtube.com/watch?v=24qJXgiuO1E
And I doubt that people move away from good games specifically. Gaming was always a niche market, putting more than average demand on hardware and etc. So I don't think this market is really getting smaller.
Exactly. If the game will be promoting serious roleplaying instead of brainless hack-n-slash it would be good MMORPG. Otherwise it'll be another clone of MMO without the RPG part.

hope thisone has a good PvP/RvR ...castle fights etc.
PvE is boring grind for me, unless there is really good story behind it.
PvP/RvR gives the variatation and endless ways to enjoy the game, when nicely implemented that is.
lets wait and see..graphics look great but absolutely no gameplay shown, so i dont just randomly throw my money away just yet.
I really liked oilrush, nice to see them continuing the evolution of their engine.
oilrush graphics amaze me, shame more people don't play it.
I think you misunderstand me, when I say that the bottom has in someways fallen out of high-resource, high-graphics engines that was in no way a comment on the actual quality of the game titles themselves. I am merely observing the popularity of engines such as Unity as compared to ones like Unigine (to pick of only two examples) and the general trend away from huge graphical power and even larger hardware demands for portability and ease of development. The quality of the games made on engines targeting either niche is a completely different and separate issue.
No dwarfs?! Really? Why are they making FANTASY game only with boring humans, gay elfs and super-ultra-gay-for-stupid-teens-made vampires?! I'm sooo looking forward to WoW on Linux and I hope that they will crush these fools.

Post subject: Where does everyone work?
Hey everyone! Thought I'd bring this topic back up, since it seems we've found some more members....Just wondering what kind of bar everyone works in. I work in a comedy club in downtown Omaha. Usually 3-5 nights a week. Although tomorrow, I have an interview at a spanking new bar in west omaha called "Nico". VERY nice, got a tour when i was there. its gonna have a huge dedicated martini bar with a 15 foor salt water aquariam and waterfall effect behind it, huge dancefloor with confetti cannons and a very large main bar. Crossing my fingers!

I am currently managing a couple bars in Crested Butte, Colorado and working in a bar down the road in Gunnison.... The ski scene every day and night, tourists, some regulars, more tourists and the same freaking questions over and over... don't get me worng, I have a super time and all of them are great gigs and perfect for me, I have a bit of cabin fever! When the ski mountain closes, so do these bars for the most part, so I pick up more hours at my regular bartending job and manage a country club bar.

Yes, My plate is very full, however I do find plenty of time to have the appropreate ammount of fun, at least enough time to fill the fun quota, that and my skills are coveted and talked about quite widely...... he he he, just kidding. I'm single, so that takes care of whay I work so darn much, if I had a family, I'd probably be pursuing a diffrent career, putting my degree to work as a Public Accountant!

Hi there very new to this whole chat thing, but i think i could get used to it. My name is theresa and i live and work in Riverton, Wyoming, it's not a very big place but it is growing, and we have a comunity college so i get alot of student's at work, seen a few crazy night's.. The bar where i work is called Good Time Charlies, We are in the process of remodiling and giving the place a whole new facelift, it's time. We are going with the club theme, reflective lighting and neon's mirrors, strob's lot's of neat stuff should be great, anyway i work alot and can't seem to find time for a personal life, i'v just got to much going on or i'm working , or i'm to exhausted to try. I get alot of offer's but that's part of our job's, and after a while they all run togetherl. so i find it hard to take any of them serious, THIS WAS GOOD FOR ME. Thank's for coming up with where does everyone work, it's nice and i don't feel so all alone. Thank's again. Theresa36

Welcome! And I too have the "Social Disorder" that many bartenders end up having. Ahh well, such is the nature of the beast!
My dear Jay, I am single, but somewat attached, going nowhere fast though! A little too career oriented to worry about another person and how I affect them on a more "emotional" level. I beleive that is called 'fear of commitment'.

I work at one of the largest pool halls in Wisconsin. It relly sucks because we have the berg pouring system. If you don't know what that is it takes all the fun out of bartending. There is no artistry, everything is automatically pre-measured mixed and everything, all I have to do is punch a button and it pours the drink, much like a speed gun.
Anyhow the pay is good and the tips are okay.

I just started in a spanking new bar called Froggy's Cantina. Our first night was Saturdayand we were spamked from about 9:30 till close. It's a very nice place and every one who came into drink really like the music from the six bands that we hired. The bar is Downtown in Lafayette Louisiana so it's in the middle of a very hot spot. I sure hope that it does well. If any one is ever in these parts of the woods come on down to Froggy's and enjoy yourselves.

I just started a new job in a relitively new bar that opened up in town. Its called Revolution and its a vodka bar, we serve over 56 types of vodka and we have over 30 flavours of premade vodka shots. All our cocktails contain some form of vodka but having so many different types and flavours every single one is fantastic!!! so i have now become a bit of a vodka freak. its a great atmosphere and all the staff are up for a laugh.

Happy holidays indeed. Keep up the good work!
Merry Christmas folks and a Happy New Year when it comes
Thanks for a fantastic effort this year Michael. The aspm discovery saved my laptop at work, and I know I am not the only one. Rounding off the year fixing regressions in the radeon driver (directly impacting my main computer at home) just underlines the incredibly important contributions from Phoronix. Openbenchmarking is another fantastic contribution to the free software world, and I plan on using it more actively the coming year.
We will have the traditional lutefisk this evening. Homemade straight from Lofoten. Christmas is great :)
feliz navidad !
God Jul! May you have many good beers in the coming year!
Happen to have any computational tests yet that I can integrate into PTS? Like any of the stock oil simulation tests, etc?
Lucky about the Lutefisk... Right now I'm drinkling some Akvavit for lunch, but sadly without any Lutefisk. Ran out of beer last night, bad time to, but at least have Akvavit to enjoy today while working on PTS code.
The lutefisk was fantastic. Aquavit for lunch sounds really hardball, especially without beer :cool:
Yes, I hope to prepare some simulation tests. Let's have a look at it in January.

5/17/11: Why We Laugh at the Thought of Landscaping the Backyard
I think the chicken was supervising that dig. Looked like the dog had fun digging!!! love the pics.
this reminds me of the time my great dane puppy dug a whole at the fenceline, not one he could get his fat ass under, but just big enough to free the lab on the other side. then they went for a joy run.
ReplyDeleteThose pics are so funny . The chicken looks like their supervisor. Hope everybody found something good and the other side. Gave me a SMILE for the day. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteKinda makes you wonder what they are looking for??? And Bear looks like he is smiling in the 2nd to last picture - so I guess "the dig" was successful! Love these pictures - love all the animals! Thanks for sharing them with us!
Hi Everybody,
Thanks for all the comments. I'm so glad you enjoyed this series of photos as much as I did.
As to what they're digging for - moles! And thankfully they've actually started catching some, because the Mole Patrol damage has far outweighed the mole damage lately, LOL.
Hi Keka,
It's always great to hear from somebody who has Bear's 'twin!' :)
Bear is half Australian Shepherd and half English Shepherd, but apart from being much shorter, he looks almost exactly like his English Shepherd mom.
English Shepherds come in all colors and styles, and because many people are unfamiliar with the breed, they're often misidentified or unidentified. You can read more about them and see how much the breed varies on the website of the National English Shepherd Rescue, which is a wonderful organization. :)

A week to 10 days before planting, add 2 to 4 inches of aged manure or compost and work into the planting site to improve fertility and increase water retention and drainage. If soil composition is weak, a layer of topsoil should be considered as well. No matter if your soil is sand or clay, it can be improved by adding the same thing: organic matter. The more, the better; work deep into the soil. Prepare beds to an 18 inch deep for perennials. This will seem like a tremendous amount of work now, but will greatly pay off later. Besides, this is not something that is easily done later, once plants have been established. How-to : Planting and Removing Annuals When planting annuals, begin by preparing the soil. Rototill rotted compost, soil conditioner, pulverized bark, or even builders sand into the existing soil and rake it smooth. Annuals grow quickly, so space them as recommended on plant tags. Remove plants from their containers or packs gently, being sure to keep as much soil as you can around the root ball. If the rootball is tight, loosen it a bit by gently separating white, matted roots with your fingers or a pocket knife. Plant at the same depth they were in the containers. Gently fill in around the plants, providing support but not cutting off air to the roots. Water the plants well.
Through the season, be sure to fertilize for optimal performance. Take special care to cut back or completely remove any diseased plants, as soon as you see there is a problem. At the end of the season, be sure to remove all plants and their root balls. Rake the bed well to prepare it for the next season's planting. How-to : Preparing Containers Containers are excellent when used as an ornamental feature, a planting option when there is little or no soil to plant in, or for plants that require a soil type not found in the garden or when soil drainage in the garden is inferior. If growing more than one plant in a container, make sure that all have similar cultural requirements. Choose a container that is deep and large enough to allow root development and growth as well as proportional balance between the fully developed plant and the container. Plant large containers in the place you intend them to stay. All containers should have drainage holes. A mesh screen, broken clay pot pieces(crock) or a paper coffee filter placed over the hole will keep soil from washing out. The potting soil you select should be an appropriate mix for the plants you have chosen. Quality soils (or soil-less medias) absorb moisture readily and evenly when wet. If water runs off soil upon initial wetting, this is an indicator that your soil may not be as good as you think.
Prior to filling a container with soil, wet potting soil in the bag or place in a tub or wheelbarrow so that it is evenly moist. Fill container about halfway full or to a level that will allow plants, when planted, to be just below the rim of the pot. Rootballs should be level with soil line when project is complete. Water well.
Aphids can increase quickly in numbers and each female can produce up to 250 live nymphs in the course of a month without mating. Aphids often appear when the environment changes - spring & fall. They're often massed at the tips of branches feeding on succulent tissue. Aphids are attracted to the color yellow and will often hitchhike on yellow clothing.
Prevention and Control: Keep weeds to an absolute minimum, especially around desirable plants. On edibles, wash off infected area of plant. Lady bugs and lacewings will feed on aphids in the garden. There are various products - organic and inorganic - that can be used to control aphids. Seek the recommendation of a professional and follow all label procedures to a tee. Fungi : Rusts Most rusts are host specific and overwinter on leaves, stems and spent flower debris. Rust often appears as small, bright orange, yellow, or brown pustules on the underside of leaves. If touched, it will leave a colored spot of spores on the finger. Caused by fungi and spread by splashing water or rain, rust is worse when weather is moist.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and provide maximum air circulation. Clean up all debris, especially around plants that have had a problem. Do not water from overhead and water only during the day so that plants will have enough time to dry before night. Apply a fungicide labeled for rust on your plant. Fungi : Powdery Mildew Powdery Mildew is usually found on plants that do not have enough air circulation or adequate light. Problems are worse where nights are cool and days are warm and humid. The powdery white or gray fungus is usually found on the upper surface of leaves or fruit. Leaves will often turn yellow or brown, curl up, and drop off. New foliage emerges crinkled and distorted. Fruit will be dwarfed and often drops early.
Prevention and Control: Plant resistant varieties and space plants properly so they receive adequate light and air circulation. Always water from below, keeping water off the foliage. This is paramount for roses. Go easy on the nitrogen fertilizer. Apply fungicides according to label directions before problem becomes severe and follow directions exactly, not missing any required treatments. Sanitation is a must - clean up and remove all leaves, flowers, or debris in the fall and destroy. Fungi : Leaf Spots Leaf spots are caused by fungi or bacteria. Brown or black spots and patches may be either ragged or circular, with a water soaked or yellow-edged appearance. Insects, rain, dirty garden tools, or even people can help its spread.
Prevention and Control: Remove infected leaves when the plant is dry. Leaves that collect around the base of the plant should be raked up and disposed of. Avoid overhead irrigation if possible; water should be directed at soil level. For fungal leaf spots, use a recommended fungicide according to label directions.
Pest : Scale Insects Scales are insects, related to mealy bugs, that can be a problem on a wide variety of plants - indoor and outdoor. Young scales crawl until they find a good feeding site. The adult females then lose their legs and remain on a spot protected by its hard shell layer. They appear as bumps, often on the lower sides of leaves. They have piercing mouth parts that suck the sap out of plant tissue. Scales can weaken a plant leading to yellow foliage and leaf drop. They also produce a sweet substance called honeydew (coveted by ants) which can lead to an unattractive black surface fungal growth called sooty mold.
Prevention and Control: Once established they are hard to control. Isolate infested plants away from those that are not infested. Consult your local garden center professional or Cooperative Extension office in your county for a legal recommendation regarding their control. Encourage natural enemies such as parasitic wasps in the garden. Fungi : Downy Mildew Downy Mildew, a fluffy white fungal growth that develops on the underside of leaves, is most common during cool, humid conditions. Foliage often discolors and is stunted.
Prevention and Control: Use disease free plants and space far enough apart so that air circulation is good. Remove and discard infected leaves or even entire plants. Use a recommended fungicide and always follow the directions on the label.
When portions of edible flowers are desired, pull petals or edible portions from fresh flowers and snip off the petals from the base of the flower. Remember to always wash flowers thoroughly making certain any residue or dirt has been removed. Give them a gentle bath in water and then dip the petals in ice water to perk them up. Drain on paper towels. Petals and whole flowers may be stored for a short time in plastic bags in refrigeration. Freeze whole small flowers in ice rings or cubes. Make sure you know what the flower is before you eat it; have an accurate identification done. Glossary : pH pH, means the potential of Hydrogen, is the measure of alkalinity or acidity. In horticulture, pH refers to the pH of soil. The scale measures from 0, most acid, to 14, most alkaline. Seven is neutral. Most plants prefer a range between 5.5 and about 6.7, an acid range, but there are plenty of other plants that like soil more alkaline, or above 7. A pH of 7 is where the plant can most easily absorb the most nutrients in the soil. Some plants prefer more or less of certain nutrients, and therefore do better at a certain pH. Glossary : Viruses Viruses, which are smaller than bacteria, are not living and do not replicate on their own. They must rely on the cellular mechanisms of their hosts to replicate. Because this greatly disrupts the cell's functionality, outward signs of a viral infection result in a plant disease with symptoms such as abnormal or stunted growth, damaged fruit, discolorations or spots.
Prevention and Control: Keep virus carriers such as aphids, leafhoppers, and thrips under control. These plant feeding insects spread viruses. Viruses can also be introduced by infected pollen or through plant openings (as when pruning). Begin by keeping the pathogen out of your garden. New plants should be checked, as well as tools and existing plants. Use only certified seed that is deemed disease-free. Plant only resistant varieties and create a discouraging environment by rotating crops, not planting closely related plants in the same area every year.

The term "Bin Laden Weed" orignates from Chicago street slang, but was first brought to national thug prominence by the 3-6 Mafia song of the same name. While the 3-6 Mafia claims that Bin Laden weed consists of a mixture of three diffferent sub-species of cannibus, the term is largely used in Chi-town as a synonym for extremely potent Hydro or otherwise very kind weed.

Posts: 1 Hilarious attempts at 'political correctness' (a phrase so poisonous and poisoned that it must always be used in quotes now, somewhat like holding an odious and stinking object at arm's length) in these posts, as well as some sensible remarks. 'something-American' has long since passed ludicrousness and made it to truly 'offensive'--not only are most 'African-Americans' not from Africa, my god, what if you err and call a 'JAMAICAN-American' an 'African-American'!?!?! I myself am NOT Caucasian-American, thank you very much, though my skin is 'white'(for lack of a better term) in comparison with skin which is 'black' (also for lack of a better term.) I am gay and have an intimate black friend with whom I had a funny conversation on this subject: Helen said to me 'Honey, I am sure you realize that there are blacks and then there are NIGGERS.....' to which I replied 'Dear, I am sure you realize that there are gays and then there are FAGGOTS.....!' When we finished roaring, Helen said 'and only the group it applies to is EVER allowed to use the term, yes?' We both agreed that among blacks, or gays, or any other 'group,' the most derogatory slurs are used regularly and gleefully--indeed, sometimes constantly--and no one is about to try to censor this. Ergo, the ever-increasing asininity and attempted bowdlerization of public non-discourse is the *ultimate* insult. I was delighted to read a post or two which said that people wear not chips but woodblocks on their shoulders now, SEEKING to be 'offended'--it is part of the utter decline of manners, social skills, and intelligence which has become the story of this country.

Loc: Netherlands, the Hague Welcome. Yes, there is a high sensitivity category in the insult-offense matter. Some people don't even need words to find offense. Just look them in the eye and risk a threat or blow. Don't know what moves them.
'Political correctness' is also present in the world of jobs and professions. Cleaning ladies are hard to find. You have to look for 'interior caretaker' ( at least in my country) The word laborer is gone completely. It moves from production cooperator to production assistant. No garbage man but environment-cooperator, etc.etc.

Loc: Canada I am really fed up with these ill-educated thin-skinned people of self-presumed entitlement whining about language use which has been traditionally acceptable (both socially and academically) until their own recent burst into the scene with all their demands to be treated as 'equally part of' yet at the same time being seen as being 'different'.
They betray themselves as ignorant.
I think the choice and selection of last week's words--including the theme--was well chosen and well presented by those who obviously have more educational qualifications than do their detractors.
People! When you make such a fuss displaying such nouveau ignorance you only display your Lilliputian Yahoo-ism.
I am loathe to appear niggardly, especially as I do understand the issue to be a tar baby--but it is very queer indeed. These complainers imagine themselves to be cockshies ["me ! me ! me !"] but surely 'cocksure' is more apt.
(and I suppose we should all cease reading Fairy Tales to our grandchildren ??)

Shouldn't "need to" be replaced by "should" ? Or if it was really "need", how come everything has been working fine without those golden registers ? Anyone from AMD would dare to comment on that ? Thanks!According to this Git commit, golden arrays for AMD Radeon graphics processors come down to arrays of register settings that need to be initialized at the ASIC (GPU) start-up.
The sets of new "golden" registers to initialize at start time were added for the Radeon HD 4000 (R7xx), Radeon HD 5000 (Evergreen), Radeon HD 6000 (Cayman / Northern Islands), and the Radeon HD 7000 (Southern Islands) series.

East Tosa draft development plan to be unveiled
A draft plan for future development in East Tosa will be presented at 7 p.m. Jan. 26 at Fire Station No. 1, 1601 Underwood Ave.
The city and North Avenue Neighborhood Alliance have been working with planning consultant RDG USA since May, in an effort funded by Community Development Block Grant money. The planner has held public information sessions, delved into market data and walked the business district along North Avenue between 60th and 76th streets.
Suburban Woman's Club of Wauwatosa awards scholarships to teachers
The Suburban Woman's Club of Wauwatosa has awarded $800 scholarships for continuing education to the following teachers:
- Robert Kalpinski, Plank Road School
- Laura Nemetz, Whitman Middle School
- Peggy Paar, Roosevelt Elementary School
- Kristin Thimmesch, Eisenhower Elementary School
- Hannah Wendlake, Eisenhower Elementary School
The teachers will receive their awards in a ceremony May 4 at the Wauwatosa Civic Center.
The Suburban Woman's Club has been awarding scholarships to teachers for 65 years, according to Joan Riggin, chair of the group's scholarship committee.
"Their belief as mothers of Wauwatosa students is that providing financial assistant to our teachers to further their education would be their way of enriching their children's education," the group said in a press release.

Irgens names Zywave as tenant for proposed office building in Wauwatosa
In their pitch to a Wauwatosa committee for financial assistance April 14, officials with Irgens Development Partners named software company Zywave as the tenant they have lined up for their proposed office building at the Milwaukee County Research Park.
Zywave, which is already located in the park at 10700 Research Drive, has grown out of its current space and would like to occupy 63,500 square feet of the proposed building — about 40 percent of the 155,000 square feet available, Irgens officials said. Other tenants have not been secured.
"We are running out of space to accommodate growing companies," Irgens President Jackie Walsh said. "Large blocks of space in the marketplace don't exist."
Irgens asks for city financing
Irgens is proposing a $23.5 million four-story office building for 10000 Innovation Drive, near the on-ramp from Watertown Plank Road onto Highway 45. They have asked the city for exactly $5 million to fund a two-level parking structure through a tax-incremental finance (TIF) district.

The Kmart store in Wauwatosa, at 3201 N. Mayfair Road, is scheduled to close June 21, according to an announcement from the state Department of Workforce Development. The building has large "store closing" signs hanging outside.
Layoffs for the store's 103 employees will begin June 14, according to the DWD, which will help workers find new employment.
Wauwatosa Development Director Paulette Enders said she was not aware of plans for the building to be sold or redeveloped, and she believed it would be leased to another tenant.
As several properties in that area are under transition, Alderman Craig Wilson said it would be ideal to see major redevelopment of that corner, northwest of Mayfair Road and Burleigh Street. But in the meantime, he said he hopes businesses are able to keep the block alive on each of their own parcels.
"It's not going to kill us to have some more routine development," Wilson said. "I think it would actually be a good sign that we don't have to have big orchestrated development."

Troubled retailer Kmart, which has been closing stores nationwide, will shutter its location on Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa, the company has told state officials.
Kmart Corp., a unit of Sears Holdings, filed notice that it will close the store at 3201 N. Mayfair Rd. on June 21.
One hundred and three jobs will be cut.
Kmart closed its stores on S. 108th Street in Hales Corners and on S. 27th Street in Greenfield a year ago. Its location on Bluemound Road in Brookfield was shut down in December 2013.
UPDATE: Friday meeting will proceed without Rep. Kooyenga
State Rep. Dale Kooyenga, who previously planned to meet with Wauwatosa residents Friday, April 17, said he would not be able to attend the event because of a Joint Finance Committee meeting Fiday.
Jean Davidson of the Citizens with Disabilities Committee, which helped organize the public meeting, said the event will go on without him at 6 p.m. at City Hall. She said those who attend will be able to record comments that will be delivered to Kooyenga's office.
Kooyenga noted residents have had other opportunities to share feedback through surveys mailed to houses in his district, an online form, and a listening session in Wauwatosa March 31.
"We have done tons of listening and continue listening," said Kooyenga, the assembly vice co-chair on the budget-writing Joint Finance Committee. "Now we're in Madison making changes based on feedback."
Davidson said the meeting Friday will include presentations by government officials and local organizations on senior care, education funding, and environmental issues in the state budget.
DOT resumes resurfacing work on Mayfair Road in Wauwatosa
The state Department of Transportation planned to resume resurfacing work on Mayfair Road between Burleigh Street and Silver Spring Drive Monday, April 13. There will likely be single lane closures throughout the project this spring.
The work on this section of Mayfair Road began last year with resurfacing, updated traffic signals and new turn lanes. This spring, the DOT plans to complete pavement markings, finish sidewalks, update pedestrian ramps and add landscaping.

Wauwatosa voters support Bradley, Cullen and state referendum
With a voter turnout of about 23 percent, Wauwatosa residents together picked winning candidates Tuesday, supporting Ann Bradley as Supreme Court justice, electing Eddie Cullen as county supervisor, and voting yes on the state referendum on a constitutional amendment.
Bradley took about 54 percent of the vote in Wauwatosa, and about 58 percent statewide , according to preliminary results. Cullen received about 58 percent of the votes in Wauwatosa, and 60 percent in his district, which includes parts of Wauwatosa, West Milwaukee and Milwaukee. The state referendum passed in Wauwatosa with just over 50 percent of the votes, and statewide with 53 percent.
Under the amendment approved through the referendum, the chief justice will be chosen by a majority of the justices on the court and serve for a two-year term.
Interactive: Test scores jump as Wauwatosa makes literacy a priority
Since the Wauwatosa School Board set reading as a district focus and began implementing a new curriculum in 2009, average reading scores for fifth graders have increased by two grade levels, according to data from nationally used MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests.
Director of Teaching and Learning Beth Erenberger said the vast jump in reading scores is higher than growth in other subjects — and that was intentional.
"We see it as a foundation for all learning, so we want that to be a strong floor," she said.
Erenberger said the district has invested in strengthening students' reading skills by expanding training opportunities for teachers and switching to a core curriculum that focuses on specific outcomes in areas like phonics, vocabulary and comprehension.
"To be able to get continuous improvement over a period of time is what every school district would hope for," Erenberger said. "It's not an easy thing to do and it's a result of a lot of hard work."

Milwaukee man charged after fatal crash in Wauwatosa
Milwaukee Symphony Chorus member Nicolas Sluss-Rodionov at Burleigh Street and Highway 45 in Wauwatosa March 19.
A 35-year-old Milwaukee man has been charged with homicide by negligent operation of a vehicle after a collision withIf convicted, Willie D. Cotton faces up to 10 years years in prison and $25,000 in fines.
Sluss-Rodionov, 33, died at Froedtert Hospital six days after the crash, according to the Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's office. He was from Milwaukee but had been active at Wauwatosa's First Congregational Church as an organist, choir section leader and soloist.
Wauwatosa police say Sluss-Rodionov was making a left turn on a green arrow about 11:20 p.m. March 19 when he was struck by Cotton, who officers said they believed was impaired at the time of the crash. Results from a blood test were not yet available when a criminal complaint was filed March 30.
According to the criminal complaint, a witness driving behind Sluss-Rodionov, westbound on Burleigh, saw Cotton coming eastbound toward the intersection with Highway 45. As Sluss-Rodionov signaled to make a left turn on a green arrow and moved into the intersection, the witness said it looked like Cotton's pickup truck was going too fast to stop in time for its red light.

How to Lower Your Homeowners Insurance written by Sydney Alcala for BillCutterz Money Saving Blog.
Homeowners insurance is a necessity if you own your home, and it�s not something you can just cut like a Starbucks run if you want to save money. Let�s find out ways you can lower your homeowners insurance.Shop Around
This is an easy one � make sure to compare rates with different insurance companies. Even if you have been with one company for a long time, it�s still pays to shop rates and see if you can get a better deal.Choose the Best Plan
Don�t just let your insurance agent decide what the best plan is for you � read through your options and see if you can lower any coverage, especially for items that may have depreciated or if you can remove certain things entirely. Keep in mind that you want to insure your home for its replacement cost, not market value. Your insurance agent isn�t your best advocate � you are.Lower Your Bill with BillCutterz
Send your homeowners insurance to BillCutterz and save as much as 20% or more. BillCutterz negotiates large discounts on your behalf, allowing you to sit back and enjoy the savings. While you�re saving money on homeowners insurance, send them your other monthly bills such as cell phone, cable and satellite TV, internet, home bundles and much more.Have Good Credit
Keep your credit in good standing. If you have negative items on your credit report, you will pay for it not only in higher interest rates, but you will have higher insurance premiums (this also goes for auto insurance). Take care of any negative items right away and always pay your bills on time to ensure you get the best rates.Combine Policies
Insurance companies will often offer large discounts if you have multiple policies with them. Combine your auto and homeowners insurance to save big.Raise Your Deductible
This isn�t something everyone can do, but if you can raise your deductible your rates will often go down significantly.Avoid Making Small Claims
The less claims you make, the lower your premiums will be. Avoid making small claims to keep your rates as low as possible. Use the extra money you save from a lower premium to save for small fixes so you don�t have to make a claim.

I've often wondered what women see when they look at their reflection in a mirror after procedures. Do they see something we don't? Are they happy with the results? I somehow believe that many see hope smiling back at them and a glimpse of a past they somehow believe, because they were younger, was better than whatever the future can hold.

A non sequitur (I know you expect no less from me): When cosmetic companies are photo shopping women of a certain age and then telling us we can improve "the oval"of our faces with a cream, I think we have the right to be outraged.
I think we're not finished with this subject.

Panic! at the Disco Concert Tickets |
If Las Vegas were a band, it would probably look and sound like Panic! at the Disco. Vegas natives themselves, lead singer/guitarist/pianist Brendon Urie and drummer Spencer Smith apparently gorged themselves on all the choreographed, theatrical pastiche of sin city and regurgitated the band's signature vaudeville-emo. After the highly publicized departure of band mates Ryan Ross and Jon Walker to pursue a different musical direction following the lackluster release of Pretty. Odd., Urie and Smith returned to the studio to sweat out their latest album, Vices & Virtues, which featured a return to the frenetic, high energy output of their debut album A Fever You Can't Sweat Out. Fans let out a collective sigh of relief and diligently queued up for their Panic! at the Disco concert tickets. With their latest single The Ballad of Mona Lisa making the rounds, the band have hinted that they are contemplating a run on Broadway and a return to the world of costumes and make up they inhabited on their first album. They also released a short film they acted in titled Overture on their website.

karta & vägbeskrivning
From the airport or the Bus Terminal
Since public transportation from the airport or the bus terminal to any place in Bogota can be quite difficult and there is no Transmilenio from these places, we recommend taking a taxi that drops you off in front of the hostel.
Cost and duration:
From the airport: $17.000 Colombian pesos (COP) ~ US$8; around 30 minutes
From the bus terminal: $10.000 COP ~ US$5; around 20 minutes but depends on traffic.
From anywhere else in Bogota
You can arrive easily to the hostel from anywhere in Bogota since it's located two blocks away from the Cra 7 (where there are public buses) and 8 minutes away from la Caracas (where there is Transmilenio).
By Transmilenio: Arrive to the station of Transmilenio called Calle 63 in the blue line, Zona A - Caracas and walk in direction towards the mountains (East). You should pass a big plaza with a church (Lourdes) and then arrive to a big grocery store called 'Carulla'. Cross the 7th avenue and walk to your left (North) 2 blocks until you get to the 65th Street. Take a right at the corner and walk two blocks until the light, then turn left. In the end of the block there is the hostel. Cost: $1.700 COP ~ US$0.95

Rockies look to even series behind Morales
Trying to correct course, Colorado to take on San Diego All-Star Ross
Colorado manager Walt Weiss knows that if the Rockies are going to make a run to the postseason in 2014, it has to begin now.
When Nolan Arenado sustained a broken left middle finger while sliding into second on May 23, the Rockies were only three games out of first place. That injury would open the floodgates for Colorado, with 11 players landing on the disabled list since then.
Arenado returned last Thursday against the Dodgers, but including the 3-2 loss to the Braves in which his injury occurred, the Rockies have gone 11-32 since he first went down.
The good news is that the Rockies are expecting reinforcements like Carlos Gonzalez (left index finger inflammation) and Brett Anderson (fractured left index finger), possibly as soon as this weekend. But with the team in the NL West cellar by itself for the first time since April 1 after losing to San Diego, 6-1, in their series opener on Monday, Weiss knows time is running out.
"Every series is big generally speaking, but these are big in particular because we need to start winning series," Weiss said. "That's the bottom line."
If the Rockies don't show signs of life soon, the team will most likely emerge from the Midsummer Classic layoff as a seller with the July 31 non-waiver Trade Deadline right around the corner.
"We can't afford to continue to lose series," Weiss said. "That makes it even more important for these last two before the All-Star Break."
They will try to start their climb against Tyson Ross, the only Padre named to the All-Star Game.
Ross threw his first career shutout in his previous start, allowing no walks and just three hits against Cincinnati last Wednesday while striking out nine. Eighty-seven of his 120 pitches went for strikes.
"The thing that really popped out to me was the ball/strike ratio," Padres manager Bud Black said. "He repeated his delivery from pitch one to the last pitch of the game. … He pitched his [butt] off."
Colorado will counter with Franklin Morales, who is back in the rotation after being sent to the bullpen for all of June. On Thursday, in his first start since May 31, Morales allowed four hits and two runs (one earned) in five innings against the Dodgers, and he did not factor into the decision.
Padres: Gyorko takes step (literally) forward
Monday was a notable day of sorts for injured Padres second baseman Jedd Gyorko, who took part in limited baseball activities on the field for the first time since going on the disabled list with plantar fasciitis in his left foot on June 6.
Black said Gyorko took some swings on the field at the team's Spring Training facility in Arizona and walked around and was even able to field some ground balls hit directly at him, though he had yet to be cleared to run.
Speaking of injured infielders, shortstop Everth Cabrera -- on the disabled list with a left hamstring strain since July 1 -- will rejoin the team in Los Angeles later this week, when he is expected to test the hamstring with some on-field drills.
Rockies: Teammates lobbying for Morneau
If Justin Morneau is voted into the All-Star Game set to take place next week in Minnesota, where he played for parts of 11 seasons and won an MVP Award, he would have quite the homecoming story. His manager and teammates in Colorado are doing the best they can to give it to him.
Outfielder Brandon Barnes wore a "#VoteMorneau" sticker on his back during batting practice on Monday, while his two slicks of eyeblack read "Vote" and "Mo." Barnes called Morneau "definitely" the no-brainer option for the Final Vote.
"He's obviously put up the numbers, road and away, [so] you can't really hold Coors Field against him," Barnes said. "He's a great player."
Morneau's numbers over the past month certainly don't dispute that. His 25 RBIs, 38 hits and .396 average since June 10 are all the most in the Majors over that span.
"He's had a great first half. He's one of our most consistent, productive hitters," Weiss said. "To have the opportunity to go back to Minnesota, where he spent most of his career, won an MVP … we're pushing hard."
"He's a guy who should be in the All-Star Game without the Final Vote," Barnes said. "That's not how it worked out, but I believe he'll be there."
Worth noting
• The Padres' 1.89 team ERA (34 ER, 162.0 IP) in 18 games since June 18 is the best mark in the Majors.
• Brooks Brown on Sunday became the seventh pitcher to make his MLB debut for the Rockies, pitching 1 2/3 innings of relief against the Dodgers.

Alderman rebuts critics over potential conflicts
"A good attorney's always out there trying to get the stories out there for their clients, to make their clients look as good as they can," he said.
Levasseur represents a Manchester woman who alleges her boyfriend, a Manchester police officer, assaulted her earlier this year. He represented a client arrested by police in a much-criticized shopping cart sting operation. (A judge ruled in favor of Levasseur's client.)
Manchester Police Chief David Mara declined comment for this article, noting the Attorney General's Office's investigation is underway.
"Our guys are in court being cross-examined by Levasseur. They're thinking, 'Who is this? Is this Alderman Levasseur cross-examining me? Is my career over now? Or is it attorney Levasseur?'" Maloney said. "It's almost like my boss going against me in court."
The New Hampshire Attorney Discipline Office, which investigates possible conflicts of interest involving lawyers, has no public complaints on file against Levasseur, according to its general counsel, Janet DeVito.
"Lawyers do this all the time. His (Levasseur's) prospective clientele is people watching television," Kirkland said.
As an alderman, Levasseur must also follow the city's Code of Conduct, which governs elected officials.
The code prohibits an alderman from deciding any issue where he would have a direct personal or financial interest. Nor can an alderman have an undisclosed "financial or direct personal interest in any contract with the city."
"It's clear to everyone he has an issue with the Manchester Police Department. To him, it's personal," Maloney said.
But Maloney said something's wrong with the picture. Levasseur has called him a "dupe" and an "idiot," Maloney said. He has even seen Levasseur mock his appearance on his television show.
Levasseur, who is also register of probate for Hillsborough County, is seeking reelection to his at-large alderman seat. However, because there aren't enough challengers seeking the office, the seat will not be among those on the ballot in Tuesday's primary election.

Council: No need for housing study
The city council will pass on a state program to study housing needs in Dell Rapids.City Administrator Justin Weiland told the council at its May 6 meeting that the South Dakota Housing Development Authority's Housing Needs Study would pay for half the costs of researching present and future unmet housing demand in Dell Rapids.Weiland said the South Eastern Council of Governments also committed to paying for a quarter of the $7,500 study, leaving the remaining $1,875 the city's burden.After councilor Dave Sommerfeld made a motion to pursue the grant to pay for the study – seconded by Craig Lauritzen – Mark Crisp said any assessment of housing needs can be done locally without bringing in an outside agency."Why would we spend $1,800 to see housing needs in Dell Rapids?" Crisp asked. "I think Dell Rapids would be better off visiting with the local real-estate firms and the local landlords in town and the developers in town." Lauritzen disagreed."I think it's a good outside perspective," he said.Although the $1,875 isn't a large bill, it's still money that could be used in other areas of city government where there's a greater need, said Lee Burggraff."It seems like every time we have a grant coming along, it costs us money," he said.The motion failed with Sommerfeld and Lauritzen casting the only two ayes.
