H.E. Mr. Truls Hanevold,Ambassador of Norway to Ireland.The Royal Norwegian Embassy,34 Molesworth Street,Dublin 2.
Re: Statoil's involvement in onshore gas refinery & pipeline in Mayo.
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you on behalf of the ShelltoSea campaign concerning Statoil's involvement in the proposed onshore gas refinery & pipeline in Mayo. As a campaigning organisation we would expect that you will communicate our concerns to the relevant government authorities in Norway.
At the outset I think it would be fair to say that most Irish people familiar with Statoil and Norway's development would admire the way in which the standard of living of the people of Norway has become the highest in the World from the benefits of oil & gas discoveries and a social model based on even distribution of wealth. The main factor here has obviously been the Norwegians governments ability to retain significant control and royalties from the Oil & Gas finds. In addition to this no development could have taken place without nationally acceptable health & safety and environmental standards.
This success story contrasts with the potential for the project Statoil is now involved with in the west of Ireland. The Irish government has retained no stake in the gas discoveries here. Not a drop of this gas will necessarily stay in Ireland. If it does, it will be sold to Bórd Gáis at the full market rate. Furthermore the people of North West Mayo are being used as guinea pigs for an untried onshore refining process which is certainly environmentally polluting not to mention the litany of health & safety concerns raised.
To compound these developments the approach of the main site developer Shell Oil has been one of arrogance and intimidation reminiscent of their now infamous exploits in the Niger Delta region of Nigeria. Does Statoil, and by extension the Government and people of Norway, really want to be associated with the illegal actions of Shell, and their intimidation of local people defending their rights and their environment?
Norway has been independent from Sweden for about as long as Ireland has been independent from Britain. In this time Norway has managed to develop their economy without compromising on health & safety & environmental issues not to mention the dignity of their people. As such we urge you to apply the same standards in your overseas concerns and adhere to the high standards you have already set!
There is one simple way to do this. Refine the gas at Sea.
Yours sincerely,
Eoin Ó Broin,

Disputed presidential election of 2010
Because of the civil conflict and its aftermath, the presidential election scheduled for 2005 was repeatedly postponed over the next several years. When the first round of the election was finally held, on October 31, 2010, Ouattara was the RDR candidate. He won 32 percent of the vote, placing second behind Gbagbo, who won 38 percent, and the two advanced to a second round of voting, held on November 28. On December 2, 2010, the country's electoral commission declared that Ouattara won the election with 54 percent of the vote, but the next day the Constitutional Council cited what it said was evidence of numerous irregularities and discounted a portion of the results. It then declared Gbagbo to be the winner, with 51 percent of the vote.
Ouattara was held to be the rightful winner by most of the international community—including the UN, which had certified the initial results—and he had the support of the rebel troops that controlled the northern part of the country. Nevertheless, Gbagbo, who had the support of the country's military and top levels of government, was sworn in for another term as president. Ouattara, meanwhile, had himself sworn in as president and formed a parallel government, based in a Abidjan hotel under the protection of UN Peacekeeping Forces. The political standoff sparked fears that the country might descend into civil conflict once again, and the African Union attempted to mediate. In spite of this, the standoff continued for months and grew violent as fighting increased between forces loyal to Gbagbo and those who supported Ouattara, creating a crisis with political, economic, and humanitarian dimensions that lingered even after Gbagbo was arrested on April 11, 2011, and removed from power. (For additional detail, see Côte d'Ivoire: Disputed election of 2010 and protracted political standoff.)
Gbagbo's arrest eliminated the most immediate challenge to Ouattara's presidency. Ouattara was then able to look toward the onerous tasks of restoring economic stability, alleviating the humanitarian crisis, and reunifying the country, which had remained divided since the 2002–03 civil war. He also needed to foster reconciliation between Gbagbo's supporters and his own. To that end, Ouattara called for a cessation of fighting and promised to form a truth-and-reconciliation commission to investigate criminal acts and human rights abuses allegedly committed by both sides; he later requested that the International Criminal Court also investigate the postelection violence. In May 2011 the Constitutional Council reversed its December 2010 decision and recognized Ouattara as the winner of the presidential election. He was officially sworn in on May 6, with a public inauguration and celebration on May 21.
In February 2012 Ouattara was elected chairman of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS).

Dr. Bruce R. Tammelin's Ratings
This man has saved my life more than once. He is one of the best Pulmonologist's in the S. California area. I highly and most sincerely recommend him to anyone with respiratory problems. He is also a Critical Care Physician and is the most thorough physician I have ever encountered. I most whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Bruce Tammelin.
Was this rating useful? 0 [[ userState['ratings'][2130018].votes_count ]]
Dr. Tammelin is a cross between Sherlock Holmes and Marcus Welby. He is a brilliant diagnostician, a caring doctor, and a compassionate man. He genuinely looks after his patients. He saw me on his day off because I was not feeling well. He called me two hours after I had a cat scan — on a Friday afternoon — to give me the results and eliminate any worry over the weekend. He is the doctor you would classify as "one in a million."

Words can't express how awesome,brilliant and most of all caring Dr Tammelin and his staff is! If anybody needs a Pulmonologist, look no further! He is the best. I've been in the medical field for over 30 years and have never found a doctor to be this awesome! He treats you like you are family. He called us everyday. He really cares. His staff is awesome too. My son was so sick and now he is well from the care and treatment Dr Tammelin gave to him! Love you Dr Tammelin. Thank you for everything you did for us as a family!

Rennie, Allan and Smith, Paul (2009) A review of suitable methods for producing automated or semi automated product designs for production using RM technologies. In: 14th European Forum on Rapid Prototyping and Manufacturing. .
Full text not available from this repository.Abstract
Rapid Manufacturing (RM) technologies allow the production of a single unit of a design affordably and easily. No tool is required and the design constraints for manufacture are much less than that of traditional manufacture. In the future of product design, it is conceivable that consumers or designers with no manufacturing knowledge would be able to interact with design software to produce individualised designs which would be ready for manufacture using RM technologies. To aid the future consumer in managing the manufacture of his or her own product independently of experienced manufacturing engineers suitable assistive design tools should be developed. This paper presents a review of current trends in design assistance through automated processes and describes how assistive design methods might be included in a tool framework that would support design and rapid manufacture of a consumer product using additive layer technologies.

A close-up look at a dozen cases by insiders and members that cost credit unions more than $185 million, and often, their very existence.
Oklahoma's credit unions face challenges that sound pretty familiar throughout the industry: compliance burdens, low investment returns, corporate assessments and a lackluster economy. But thankfully for credit unions in the Sooner State, the highs and lows of the real estate market experienced in other states isn't part of that mix.
Economic winds don't blow as harshly in Oklahoma as for many others, NCUA state-by-state statistics show. Credit unions cite low unemployment, real estate stability.
The private student loan market shares some similarities with the real estate market before the mortgage bubble burst, federal report says.
Credit unions smashed through a previous record in the first-quarter 2012 when they originated 8% of all mortgages made in the U.S. Now there are signs that their success represents more of a sustainable trend than a mere statistical anomaly.
Agency inspectors say shortfall was from liquidation rather than bulk sale of Florida property by Michigan's failed Huron River Area CU.
In 1949, seven employees at the National Advisory Council for Aeronautics formed a credit union. The agency was destined to become the National Aeronautics and Space Administration in 1958, on the cusp of a time period when the space race with the Soviet Union was to end with a man...
RealtyTrac says sales of foreclosed homes accounted for less real estate sales in the third quarter of 2011 from both the prior quarter and the year before.
Presidential candidate again misspeaks on credit unions, raising question if its intentional or lack of understanding. Either is troublesome.
At the close of 2011's second quarter, a handful of credit unions located in the sand states, where a teetering economy has made it most difficult for financial institutions to thrive, shared hopeful bits of news: net worth ratio improvements, net income increases, loan loss reductions and operating expense cutbacks.

Another perversion of the laws of pidyon shvuyim. Sure, help spring Moishe Rubashkin so that he can continue pepetrating more crimes and more chillul hashem. If the Yeshiva World posted every sentencing of every "haredi" Jew, they would run out of space on their site and they would bankrupt the entire Jewish community. Why do the Rubashkins get special treatment?
Where's the YWN appeal to help free Jonathan Pollard, a legitimate pidyon shvuyim case? Where's their appeal for Gilad Shalit and other Israeli POW's?
The bus trip is sponsored by the CHJCC.
Guess who's the chairman of that group- Moshe Rubashkin!
And so, money donated to CHJCC, and money from government grants to the CHJCC, is being spent on a bus trip for rabble rousers for the purpose of disrupting the sentencing.
Who are these people with nothing better to do that day? Let me guess- 'students' from the Kollel, on permanent vacation.
Stupid comment that foments more hatred between chilonim and charedim in Israel:
Meir Porush: In 10 Years Israel Will Be Controlled By Haredim
Steve: surprisingly, the commenters on that VIN thread realized it would be a disaster if charedim 'took over' Israel.
No more army. Taliban-style religious enforcement. Alienating the USA. No more tourism.
Instead of paying the bills, the Rubashkins are looting the corporation of its assets, such as secretly and illegally diverting money to offshore or Swiss bank accounts. At some point they will file bankruptcy and run off to Israel and live on their ill begotten gains.
Maybe, just maybe, we'll be lucky.
If the presiding Judge is anything like Judge Judy, she might rule the "Rabble Rousers" in contempt of Court, and send them away, too.
Since both bank and Agriprocessors are Iowa corporations, the rightful place for this action would be... IOWA!
The bank is arguing that the federal courts have jurisdiction because Agriprocessors' officers are New York and Iowa citizens?
Seems a bit of a stretch.

Miami, Fla.
The bank is in Missouri. Agri is in New York and Postville.

Driver of a Black Cab
aka: Gabby Cabbie
String 'em up! It's the only language they understand...
Although in the US, taxi drivers often have a Funny Foreigner stereotype, it's quite different (in a sense, the antithesis) in England. Often ex-police, the drivers of black cabs (or to be technical, Hackney Carriages) are known for falling into the second type of Political Correctness Gone Mad and liking to share with their customers their views on what's wrong with society today (immigrants, the youth, etc.) and their proposed solutions (public hangings and floggings). Not to be confused with black people who drive cabs, toward whom this character might not be congenial. note
Another stereotype is that cab drivers like to drop the names of celebrity passengers, as in "I 'ad that Liam Gallagher in the back of my cab last Friday".
The test taken to qualify as a Black Cab driver in London is called "The Knowledgenote ", takes about three years to study for, and requires a ridiculously intuitive knowledge of London geography. As Bill Bryson put it, "[London cabbies] would sooner entrust their teenage daughters to Alan Clark for a weekend than admit they've never heard of your destination", but chances are they have.
open/close all folders
- One Hellblazer story focused on two young cabbies-in-training. Apparently the Knowledge was also a demon-sealing ritual.
- A Viz strip had Cockney Wanker taking the Knowledge, which included directions from two arbitrary points for Londoners (a straightforward journey) and out-of-towners (Up the M1 to Dundee, and back down again), and being able to do a stream-of-consciousness speech from any topic to "Enoch Powell, send them all back".
- The Doctor Who fic "Among the Jarveys of the Metropolis" has Amy and Rory hail a flying cab in future London, whose driver tells them "the monologue" is extra. Apparently the tourists expect it.
- The second stereotype occurs in Shakespeare in Love, where the black cab is replaced by a Thames ferry boat.
- The racist cab driver in Football Factory.
- A deleted scene in 28 Days Later shows Selena, Jim and Hannah taking turns driving the black cab and doing their best London cabbie impersonation, much to the annoyance of actual cab driver Frank. The DVD commentary mentions that you can't drive a black cab without experiencing an irresistible urge to do this.
- Anthropomorphic British taxis can be seen during the last third of Cars 2, which takes place in London, England.
- The Knowledge is about four men taking The Knowledge with Nigel Hawthorne as their eccentric examiner he acts so strange to see how the candidates will deal with the equally strange General Public
- Alluded to in the novel Neverwhere, when after Richard returns to "London Above", the first thing he does when hailing a cab is to express interest in hearing all of the driver's geopolitical opinions. He is so eager about it that the guy thinks Richard is mocking him.
- From Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency:
"They should all be deported," said the taxi driver as they drew to a halt.
"Er, who should?" said Richard, who realised he hadn't been listening to a word the driver said.
"Er-" said the driver, who suddenly realised he hadn't been listening either, "er, the whole lot of them. Get rid of the whole bloody lot, that's what I say. And their bloody newts," he added for good measure. - The Book of Dave by Will Self is about the diary of a London cab driver accidentally becoming the basis of an Intellectual Property Religion 500 years into the future.
Live Action TV
- There's an Armstrong And Miller sketch in which it is revealed black cab drivers have to do two tests - the standard "The Knowledge" one everyone knows about, and another, secret, one where they must segue between a harmless topic and and rabidly right-wing one without the passenger getting annoyed.
- And another one in which a sat-nav starts making right-wing comments (this joke has been done in other media).
- The British 1997 gangster black comedy Underworld had a taxi-driver hitman who drove a (plot-significantly) white cab, complete with constant moaning about the state of the country to his passengers, including those who he'd kidnapped or killed.
- When Have I Got News for You discussed Guy Goma, the guy who showed up at a BBC news studio looking for an IT job but was mistaken for the tech writer Guy Kewney and Pushed in Front of the Audience, Andy Hamilton said that it had been initially reported that Goma was a taxi driver by trade, but he knew that was false because "a taxi driver would have talked much more authoritatively about something he knew nothing about."
- Another time it came up was when the Caption Competition at the end of the episode pictured the queen sitting in the driver's side of some kind of black vehicle, which Paul interpreted as the city having to take on more part-time drivers during the Christmas season: [posh accent] "I'm not going south of the river this time of night. You must be jokin'."
- Another example was when it was revealed that Prince Philip owned a black cab, which was a particularly good fit as he is known for making gaffes about other countries' peoples.
Ian (as Prince Philip): "Bloody Chinese, guv? Slit-eyed bastards! Where you going, Buckingham Palace? That'll be ten quid". - The character of Charlie Slater in EastEnders was a black-cab driver, but in his ten-year stint on the show, he averted the trope; he was generally good-natured and was portrayed as apolitical.
- One of the characters from the vox pops on A Bit of Fry and Laurie is Stephen Fry (who drives a cab in real life, but not as a job) as a stereotypical long-winded cab driver: "If you've got a jar of marmalade in a cupboard, right? And you take the marmalade out of the cupboard, right? You've still got the marmalade. It's not in the cupboard, but you've got the marmalade. You've got to put the marmalade somewhere else haven't you? Course you have, stands to reason. There's the cupboard; no marmalade. But you've still got the marmalade. It's the same with sex and violence on television. You can take sex and violence off television, but where are you going to put them?"
- School Of Comedy has one, who gives us everything.
- Derren Brown made one of them forget where the London Eye was. This is tricky, as it's 400 feet tall and visible from everywhere.
- And at the time they were literally circling around the base of it.
- Private Eye often has its "A Taxi Driver Writes" like this, mocking any given public figure who happens to have said or done something crudely right wing. Usually involves the Catch Phrase "I had that [X] in the back of my cab the other day, very clever man..."
- Frequently the driver also uses the phrase "They should be strung up, it's the only language they understand". In one piece the driver was talking about preventing prisoners from "cheating justice" by hanging themselves.
- When the right-wing comments come from radical Islamic preachers, they sometimes change it to "A Camel Driver Writes".
- A round on Im Sorry I Havent A Clue, where the object is to fail a job interview, had Graeme, applying for a job as a cabbie, say he doesn't really hold any strong opinions.
- And in the Mockumentary In Search of Mornington Crescent, when Barry gets a taxi to physically travel the moves of a typical game:
Taxi Driver: (Cockney accent) You know them asylum seekers?
Barry: What about them?
Taxi Driver: They get a rotten deal, don't they? Me and my fellow cab drivers are having a whip-round to hold a party and cheer them up. Salt of the earth, aslyum seekers...
Barry: Just a minute! You're not a real taxi driver at all!
Taxi Driver: (sinister East European accent) How very observant of you, Mr Cryer.
Barry: Help! Help! I'm being abducted! En route to Elephant and Castle!
- And in the Mockumentary In Search of Mornington Crescent, when Barry gets a taxi to physically travel the moves of a typical game:
- On The Now Show, Mitch Benn parodied the news that the WOMD dossier was partly based on the testimony of a Baghdad taxi driver by imagining him as a driver of a black cab:
You know that Saddam?Well, I 'ad im,In the back of my cab the other day.
Stand-Up Comedy
- Ron White reports in one routine that, with a Scottish separatist as a driver, one can see all of London in about 10 minutes.
"Buckingham Palace? I wouldn't go there if you paid me!"
- Peter Kay recounts that he was once paid to do stand-up for the annual gathering of the cab driver's union, and he started off by making the audience turn their chairs around so they were facing away from him, and then opening with: "Been busy? What time are you on till?" (The two questions he claims it is physically impossible for a passenger to avoid saying to a cabbie).
- Jasper Carrott, while talking about unexpected people he found running the London Marathon:
"Loads of London cabbies. I didn't know they could walk, never mind run. You could tell 'em easily, they were the ones turning around and going "Ere, 'ow you doing, mate?" It took 'em all ages, 'cause they went via Bristol."
Real Life
- In his Red Dwarf memoir, The Man in the Rubber Mask, Robert Llewellyn confirms the second stereotype (with a dash of the first) by saying he has only once been in a black cab where the driver didn't refer to having had "that coloured geezer, the Scouse one, Craig Charles" as a passenger. And that driver was a novice.
- In his comic book based on real events The Quest For The Big Woof, black British comedian Lenny Henry describes how his (white) then-wife went past the Notting Hill Festival in a cab, and the driver started going on about how "darkies" should go back where they came from if they wanted to have festivals. Furious, Dawn French (a British comedian of considerable note herself) told him who her husband was, and he replied "Lenny Henry? Really? You couldn't get me a ticket, could you, love?"
- Probably subverted by Stephen Fry, if only because of the fact that he isn't a real cabbie. Although strangers have been known to get into the back seat while he's stopped at a red light and ask him to drive them to Waterloo Station.
- In the TV series of Notes From A Small Island he is interviewed by Bill Bryson while driving his cab; at the end of their interview, he quotes an exorbitant price for the fare.
- The Up Series includes Tony, who became a cab driver (who was in the middle of the knowledge at 21) and also played one in several TV shows.
- Cabbies in training may be seen beetling around London on scooters with maps attached to the windscreen, getting a feel for various routes. London is an extremely large city with an unbelievably random and complicated road system and one study found that successfully memorizing all these damn routes actually rewires the drivers' brains. They're also required to demonstrate a high standard of spoken English and take some first aid training. In return, they have the right to drive in bus lanes and certain other privileges.
- I 'ad that Fast Eddie in the back of my cab the other day! Very important gentleman...

Elementalist trait/build discussion
Posted 22 March 2012 - 11:42 AM
It's pretty evenly traited, but I would only use air as a starter to Shocking Aura and Ride The Lightning, hit Arcane Power then switch to earth and Earthquake, Churning, then to fire, trigger the signet and use Flame Touch. All the while keeping up a greater air elemental for the stuns.

I would read this as Swiftness not multiplying, but adding with the passive buff.
So if you had the 35% passive speed boost, and then used swiftness, you would be 68% faster, rather than 1.35 x 1.33 = 1.7855 or 79% faster.

This was supposed to be for PvP (5v5 and such). The focus is mostly damage/mobility/control in that order.
I'm still really undecided about a lot of things, such as what evasive arcana is, if the arcane power trait is worth it, if summoned weapons would be any good in this kind of build, etc.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Posted 23 March 2012 - 03:47 AM
From what I can see:
Was there a specific reason you took Glyph of Elementals as an elite beyond the fact that it was a Glyph? From my view, Firey Greatsword works better in the damage/mobility department especially since as a dagger Elementalist, you'll be near the enemy. Then you can also drop Quick Glyphs for Zephyr's Boon since I assume you're planning to be mostly Air attuned and there's Shocking Aura on that bar.
Also, the points into Fire seem a bit of an afterthought. Perhaps more points into Water for Icy Mist so you get a bit of control whenever you pop Mist Form? Or take Powerful Auras instead to spread the love.
Take what I say with a grain of salt though. It's been a while since I've looked really closely at the Elementalist.

Yea I think you're right.
How awesome would it be if your enemy could pick it up, but it has a negative effect?
For example, a foe picking up a lava axe would cause long duration of burning. Just a fun idea :P

While an interesting idea, I think there'd be 2 problems with that:
1. Hard to distinguish it from friendly weapon. Even if it had red thingy it'd most likely be hard to see with all possible AoE and so on going off.
2. Would annoy your teammates who were going to pick it up (though that'd add something of a tactical choice: take damage/stun/whatever one might get from picking enemy CW and deny it's use).
Though I'll doubt it'd ever go that way, but just some food for thought.

This is my gish type build. It uses dagger/dagger, but has conjured weapons for control and AoE.

You probably need to take some points off to put into fire if you want to deal good DPS even if you don't plan to use fire very much (since by spending points in fire increases Power which is the only thing that raises your average DPS).
Posted 23 March 2012 - 04:42 PM
I wanted a high damage build that also had decent durability (considering it's a light armor profession) and a lot of movement.
20 Fire Magic
Internal Fire: 10% more damage while attuned to fire (Obvious reasons)
Persisting Flames: Fire fields last 30% longer (Synergy with dual dagger setup for flame touch for even more damage while attuned to fire, letting you spike more. I chose this over increased damage while standing in fire fields for the higher chance of getting more burning application)
10 Air Magic
Quick Glyphs: Glyphs recharge 25% faster. (For use with Elemental elite)
20 Earth Magic
Written in Stone: Keep passive effects of signets after activating them. (Increases the healing over time for Signet of Restoration, and lets me use the debuffs of other signets while maintaining the stats I need to maintain using such a close-range build.)
Earth's Embrace: Gain Armor of Earth at 25% health. (Close range builds need a lot of damage mitigation)
10 Water Magic
One with the Mists: Gain Mist Form at 33% health (Again, more durability, plus the option to initiate exiting combat if I wish once I reach this amount of health.)
10 Arcane Power
Windborne Dagger: +15 movement while dagger is equipped. (I want all the mobility I can get with a close range build.)

I've heard you can swap your major traits any time you are out of combat. What you can't do is change how many points are in a line without a respec.
Posted 26 March 2012 - 11:52 AM
My new favourite traits :
1) Water- Shard of Ice ( Arcane and signet skills cause vulnerability when activated)
2) Arcane Power- Elemental Attunement ( You and your allies gain might when attuning to fire, swiftness when attuning to air, protection when attuning to earth, regeneration when attuning to water)
Though I don't think this elemental attunement will be availabel which each attunement swap, in the final version there will be a CD on it I'm sure, one last thing the trait which gives mist form at 33% HP has been removed

That 'Shard of Ice' major trait fits really well with one of the other new Water major traits that let you deal more damage to targets with the vulnerability condition.
It also seems that the 'Mistform at 33% health' trait is missing in the new beta build. I think they considered it overpowered. Too much of a 'get out of jail free' card.

There is also Cleansing wave and Piercing shard, so what was again, Water line suck? :D
You remove a condition everytime you go water and deal more dmg to enemies affected by vulnerability, after a while your skill 2 in water will start dealing 2k dmg:devil:
Let's not forgive the Arcane Power line with all those dodge bar refill traits.
To sum everything it up a proficient ele will literally be a god, able to dodge over 50% of enemy attacks and block/absorb the remaining 50% and this on a 24/7 rate, we can remove conditions from allies and yourself like no other class, we can grant all kind of boons to allies and yourself again and the new crit and increase dmg traits are awesome.
In GW1 a great ele had few weaknesses( strip ench,daze) which could be exploited only by a group of enemies otherwise the ele would still win, instead in GW2 an ele literally got none of the past weaknesses.
Soon the black/purple ele will roam the PvP lands once again, once again the only opotion left for the enemy will be...rage quit:devil:

A revival utility that work like this:
-Earth= Revive all nearby allies
-Water= Revive target ally to full health
-Air= revive target ally and teleport him to your location
-Fire= Revive target ally and grant yourself a passive boon which will revive you the next time you're downed
Furthermore here a list of more changes:
1) Flame grab CD increased to 45s :(
2) Arcane blast CD decreased to 15s :D
3) Glyph or arcane power CD decreased to 45s :D
There are 2 more utilities whose functioning is currently unknown, with the current traits I wonder how much dmg an arcane blast ( 100% crit) could deal on a target suffering from vulnerability:p
Posted 26 March 2012 - 09:06 PM
Posted 26 March 2012 - 11:44 PM
You know how many people will force you to bring that thing so you can bail their butts out of the fire? Uhg... Not bringing it. Don't care what they say. You fall flat on your ass, your fault, not mine. Will get to you when I can.
Anyway, still having trouble keeping up with utility skills, they all seem rather... meh. I'm pretty darn confident that I won't know what to use until in game, and see how effective and versatile the skills are. Being a dagger/dagger enthusiast, I'm not sure i will even have much time to play with utilities as I'm constantly watching my position and keeping an eye on my target if he's getting ready for some burst damage.
By the way, this is my build atm, 15/15/15/15/10
I'm half positive the ideal "True Hybrid" build will equate to practically worthless in PvP and end game, but some shred of hope keeps me tied to it.
But either way, it's a fun fact that having 15 points in any of the attunements gives off an effect for swapping. Fire damages people around you, air strikes lightning on your target, water heals u and allies, earth damages and bleeds. So in a melee situation, it's a kinda nifty bonus.
Posted 27 March 2012 - 12:07 PM
I'm planning a full-fire elementalist with Lava Axe and Fiery Sword to compensate for the lack of attunement changes.

Credit and Debit Cards:
Federal Agencies Benefit from Card Acceptance, but Have Limited Ability to Control Interchange Fee Costs
GAO-10-821T: Published: Jun 16, 2010. Publicly Released: Jun 16, 2010.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-7022
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
Federal entities--agencies, corporations, and others--are growing users of credit and debit cards, as both "merchants" (receiving payments) and purchasers. Federal entities, like other merchants that accept cards, incur fees--called merchant discount fees--to process card transactions. For Visa and MasterCard transactions, a large portion of these fees-- referred to as interchange fees--goes to the card-issuing banks. This statement addresses (1) the amounts of revenue that federal entities have collected using credit and debit cards and the costs of such acceptance, (2) these entities' efforts to reduce their interchange fee costs, including negotiations, and (3) the extent to which card network rules affect these entities and other card accepters' ability to reduce interchange fee costs. The information for this statement was drawn from Credit and Debit Cards: Federal Entities Are Taking Actions to Limit Their Interchange Fees, but Additional Revenue Collection Cost Savings May Exist (GAO-08-558) and Credit Cards: Rising Interchange Fees Have Increased Costs for Merchants, but Options for Reducing Fees Pose Challenges (GAO-10-45). GAO analyzed data on accepting and using cards from the Department of the Treasury (Treasury), Amtrak, the Postal Service, and General Services Administration (GSA); and interviewed non-federal merchants, card networks, banks, academics, and others. GAO also obtained updated 2009 revenues and costs from Treasury, Amtrak, and the Postal Service, and purchases from GSA.
As federal entities' card revenues have increased, so have their associated costs. In fiscal year 2007, federal entities collected more than $27 billion in revenues through credit and debit card transactions and reported paying at least $433 million in merchant discount fees, which include the interchange fees associated with Visa and MasterCard transactions. Since GAO originally reported in 2008, total card acceptance costs for the U.S. Postal Service and Amtrak grew from $182 million in 2007 to $204 million in fiscal year 2009. Card costs for Treasury's Financial Management Service (FMS) grew from $101 million to $116 million during this same period. Federal entity officials told us that the benefits of accepting cards include more satisfied customers, fewer bad checks and cash thefts, and improved operational efficiency. In addition to accepting cards, federal entities also use cards to make purchases for supplies or employee travel expenses, and these purchases totaled about $30 billion in fiscal year 2009. Federal entity officials noted that using cards provides a variety of benefits, including lower administrative costs and rebates of a small percentage of the card purchases that they make, which totaled about $255 million in 2009. Federal entities have worked to control the costs associated with card acceptance fees. Card networks already offer interchange rates for government transactions that are lower than those for many other merchants' transactions, but Treasury also requires the banks that process federal entities' card transactions to ensure that these receive the lowest interchange rates for which they are eligible. Some federal entities have attempted to negotiate with the card networks to lower interchange rates applicable to their transactions, but with limited success. Similarly, GAO's more recent work indicated that non-federal merchants have also experienced little success in negotiating with card networks to lower these fees. Various card network rules have been a major factor limiting federal entities' and merchants' ability to negotiate lower interchange fees. Each of the major card networks--Visa, MasterCard, American Express, and Discover--have various card acceptance rules that prohibit card accepters from imposing surcharges on cards, refusing to accept certain cards--such as rewards cards with higher associated interchange fees, or establishing minimum or maximum charges. Although various options have been debated for lowering interchange fees, merchants and others GAO interviewed most supported removing certain card network rules. If interchange fees were lowered, card users might benefit from lower prices for goods and services, but lower interchange revenues for card issuers could prompt them to increase cardholder costs, offer less generous rewards, or curtail cardholder credit availability--although consumers and federal entities could still enjoy various other benefits of using cards, such as convenience and efficiency.

I bought a Bush 22" flat screen LCD TV & DVD about 15 months ago from Argos, the picture was very good but not long after the warranty ran out the sound started to go off and on. I took it for repair to Grays of Bentley who wanted nearly £100 to repair it. I decided to take it away from them as they did not give any confidence in their report and gave it to a more capable repair service who then stated that Grays of Bentley Doncaster had caused more damage than it would have been before they had it. I now have no TV as I am informed it could cost more than the TV is worth. I now have no confidence in Bush LCD TV's nor in Grays of Bentley as TV Repair services

During his six months leave, Tom plans to complete research on the force of American political ideas and the political ideas of American force and write a first draft of a book using that research. He also plans to do further research in the study of the criticisms of conflictual, party politics and the particular alternative embraced by many in the form of consensual politics.
Libero Fiocelli is an instructor in the Department of Science. He is taking a 12 month leave and has plans to complete an intensive research-based Masters of Science in Management at the University of Lethbridge.

Screening and identification of precursor compounds of dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) in Japanese sake. | |
MedLine Citation:
PMID: 19090758 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE |
Dimethyl trisulfide (DMTS) is involved in the unpalatable aroma of stale sake, called "hineka"; however, the mechanism underlying the formation of DMTS during the storage of sake has not been elucidated. This paper investigates the precursors of DMTS in sake. An experiment using [methyl-d(3)]-methionine showed that Strecker degradation of methionine plays a minor role in the formation of DMTS. Separation of components in sake by cation exchange resin revealed that DMTS precursors are present in the acidic/neutral fraction rather than in the basic one. Purification of the DMTS precursor compounds was carried out through several chromatographic steps, measuring DMTS-producing potential as an index. High-resolution ESI-MS and 1D/2D NMR experiments enabled the identification of one of the precursor compounds as 1,2-dihydroxy-5-(methylsulfinyl)pentan-3-one. |

Good body lotion
By shfwilf
from Toronto
For the price that I paid, it is a good body lotion but no better than Aveeno. Would never pay the retail for this.

Simply Luxurious!
By What more can I say...
from Alberta
I have been a customer of Elizabeth Grant products for years. This body lotion is simply the best. It softens and reduces the look of dryness on my legs, arms etc. I love that it doesn't leave a greasy or sticky feeling like many other moisturizers. Hopefully this product will be around for years to come! It can be pricey so I try to order when Mrs. Grant has one of her fabulous deals!
Nourishing and softening
By Lorna
from St. Catharines, Ontario
An amazing product ! Creamy, nourishing, and non greasy. It lasts all day, too.I will purchase this one, over and over, again.There are a lot of lotions out there, but this one is the best, in my opinion. The long lasting quality, and the high quality ingredients make it a keeper.
Repaired dry skin

Silky skin
By Deb
from Halifax
I love this product as it makes my skin feel smooth and silky without the left=over greasey feel that may body creams do. I use it after my shower and love the fact that it isn't scented and clashes with my perfume. The cream absorbs very easily and my day is made because of how lovely my skin feels.

My skin is so soft and silky..i used it after shower 2x a day...it's worth every penny...u must try it and you won't be sorry.

My skin tends to be on the very dry side. I purchased this cream to take on vacation to Florida. My skin was very nourished throughout the entire week we were away. It went on like a dream and absorbed quickly. What an amazing deal, Elizabeth. Thank you for offering three!

JEFFERSON CITY — With the Missouri General Assembly's largest-ever Republican majority ready to kick off the legislative session, legislative leaders cited economic development and business growth as their top priorities. On the eve of the legislative session, a coalition of state business leaders presented six proposals for legislators to consider.
Missouri's House of Representatives and Senate begin their 2011 legislative session Wednesday at noon. The first order of business will be to swear in the newly elected members. Nearly half of the members in the House will be starting their first terms. The two chambers will then elect their leaders — the speaker and speaker pro tem in the House and the president pro tem in the Senate. After the formalities, lawmakers can begin to focus on their top priorities for the session.
"Our primary focus legislatively is putting people back to work," said Rep. Steve Tilley, R-Perryville, who is expected to be elected House speaker.
The Senate's incoming president pro tem, Rob Mayer, R-Dexter, agreed.
"I think we heard very loudly and clearly from the voters on Nov. 2 that, listen, we want our legislators to create an agenda that will create more jobs and job opportunities," Mayer said.
The sentiment is shared by leaders from across the aisle. House Minority Leader Mike Talboy, D-Jackson County, said priorities are the same for both parties. Expanding and creating jobs for Missourians will be addressed this legislative session.
"I think we need to make sure we concentrate on jobs — not only creating new jobs, but keeping the ones we have," Talboy said.
Mayer said legislators will need to look at a job creation initiative in the upcoming session.
"How we pass laws and policy — that makes Missouri a state where employers want to do business, and the ones that we do have stay in the state of Missouri," Mayer said.
A coalition of the state's top business organizations unveiled their proposals for the legislature. Rather than focusing on tax breaks, the six proposals focused on issues the coalition said would not cost the state money.
The group recommended restricting both liability awards against businesses and increases in the minimum wage. The one tax-related issue would phase out the corporate franchise tax, which the group said is too similar to the income tax and therefore a form of double taxation.
The pro-business agenda got a mixed reaction from the legislature's top Democrats.
Senate Democratic leader Victor Callahan, D-Independence, criticized the business coalition for not proposing reductions in tax credits, as recommended by a special commission apppointed by the governor last year.
"What I think we should be talking about, in addition to this, is what are we going to do about the $650 million of Missouri taxpayer money that goes in the form of tax credits," Callahan said.
Tax credits are available for activities such as adoptions and historic preservation.
Republican leaders in the House have argued that significant cuts in tax credits could undermine the state's economic development.
After the GOP swept in a supermajority on election night and Republicans picked their new leaders, a hard-line conservative takeover was possible. Instead, members from both parties expect a cordial and cooperative legislative session.
"The voters want a government that lives within its means, is accountable, that encourages economic growth and development," Tilley said. "But they also want a government that is respectful, and is respectful to both parties."
Talboy said he was also optimistic about a bipartisan effort.
"I think we have a good working relationship thus far, and I think there is definitely a different tone coming out of the speaker's office than the prior two years, and I'm optimistic about that," Talboy said.

Interested in Public Health
0 Hi everyone! I was just curious about something. I am currently working on my MSN in education, but I have always been fascinated about public health. I have been a nurse for 4 years (OBGYN, postpartum, nursery & telemetry). Would it make sense to pursue a public health job or just focus on education? Any advice?!0Apr 15, '13 by akc_RNQuote from RizzOk thank you. And you are right! I guess I'm just nervous about making the wrong choice and job hopping too much. I just just started a new job 6 months ago & I hate it! But I get your pointIf you're interested, try it! You'll never know if you like it otherwise. With a Masters your career is wide open, you can always try something else later if this doesn't keep your attention

there is other text in the textbox (withing a report). it is a sentence, and only one word of the sentence in the textbox needs to be bold the other text in the text box cannot be bold, the things i have tried for far is: in expression for the textbox, i tried: = "Your payment " &  & "must " &  & "be made." and i went into the xml and tried to put the  , which crashed the entire thing i tried putting it in its own little text box, and that doesnt look good at all Joe Janka
I have same need, the only thing I could do was to change the specific words I wanted to be bold to all UPPERCASE. This catches reader's eye.
Formatting text within text is not currently supported in RS2k or RS2k5. I used to be an avid member with SQLTeam forums and had a blog regarding this information, but it was taken down and I am no longer a part of the SQLTeam forums (nor would I ever want to be. Soon though I will be moving my blog to a new location and I hope to be able to provide more help with direct links. Jon www.web-impulse.com
