Miami's Dyron Dye preps for third interview with NCAA in Nevin Shapiro case
University of Miami football player Dyron Dye has retained counsel as he prepares to be interviewed by the NCAA for a third time in the case involving former Hurricanes booster Nevin Shapiro.
The NCAA's request for an additional interview, which is expected to take place in Miami next week, was initiated because the governing body of college sports believes an affidavit signed by Dye that supports ex-UM receivers coach Aubrey Hill contradicts statements made in at least one of Dye's former interviews, a source close to the situation told The Miami Herald.
The Herald also learned that former UM quarterback Jacory Harris wrote an affidavit referencing Hill and supporting some of the statements made in Dye's affidavit. An affidavit is a sworn statement made under oath.
The source said there are other former UM players who are also prepared to corroborate what Dye stated in his affidavit.
Dye, who will begin his fifth-year senior season in the fall, was interviewed by the NCAA twice on the same day in August 2011, the source said.
Attorney Darren Heitner of Wolfe Law Miami was hired by Dye this week but declined to talk about the case while the investigation is pending.
"I want to respect the process and wish to refrain from speaking at the moment," Heitner said.
Dye, who already was suspended for four games and had to repay approximately $738 in benefits given to him by Shapiro during the recruiting process, faces being hit with an unethical conduct charge by the NCAA.
Dye was a reserve tight end who recently changed his position to defensive end. A serious Achilles tendon injury has put his status in question.

You would think that patients in a hospital's intensive care unit would be the least likely to worsen or die simply because someone misdiagnosed their condition. Unfortunately, you would be wrong, say patient safety experts with Johns Hopkins University in a new study. Despite all the tests and close monitoring of ICU patients, researchers found that these patients face twice the risk of a fatal diagnostic error as compared with adult hospital patients overall. In fact, as many as 40,500 …

State Board ReportApril 2007"We meet with the idea that there are common grounds where we all have to work together, for we all see the need for regulation," Rebecca A. Connors, Colorado Assistant Attorney General and chair of NASBA's Legal State Board Legal Counsel Conference, said at the meeting in Las Vegas. "It is a good feeling to know you are not alone with the issues you have to deal with," she told the boards' attorneys and executive directors. Topics covered at this year's Legal Counsel Conference included: the revised Uniform Accountancy Act, investigative techniques, and the inter-state enforcement compact and confidentiality issues. This year's program saw an increase in the number of sessions shared with the executive directors. However, sessions designed specifically for the attorneys were conducted by Ms. Connors, Michael Granen, Noel Allen, Maria-Lisa Caldwell, Mark Crocker and Kathleen Smith. Ms. Smith, chair of the NASBA Legal Affairs Committee, reported a state accountancy regulation enforcement agreement, is being promoted to strengthen cooperative enforcement among the states. The Committee continues to focus on confidentiality problems that would prevent some states from participating in this type of agreement. In addition, the Committee is working on compiling sample sanctions that boards have successfully used for disciplining licensees. The progress of NASBA's Accountancy Licensee Database and Accountancy Licensing Library, both accessed through the NASBAtools.com Web site, was summarized by Ms. Caldwell. She underscored the information that the legal counsel will find useful on the site. NASBA is making these tools available to the boards' staff, including board attorneys, at no charge. |

On April 30, Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) Law Enforcement investigators responded to public complaints that the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary, a privately run wildlife rehabilitation facility in Pinellas County, was not in compliance with state and federal regulations for the care of injured or captive wildlife and protected migratory birds.
As a result of the state's inspection, Ralph Heath, founder and permit holder for the Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary in Indian Shores, was cited that day for 59 violations of the state's Wildlife Code.
"Reports from concerned citizens indicated that the wildlife at the sanctuary were not cared for properly and were living in squalor, which violates the permit conditions under which the sanctuary operates," said the FWC's Lt. Steve DeLacure. "When we inspected the facility on April 30, we found animals confined in unsanitary conditions and injured wildlife that had not received proper care, a situation that demanded immediate remedial action."
In addition to corrective measures now being undertaken at the sanctuary, FWC investigators called in wildlife veterinarians to help assess the condition of 10 birds being cared for at the sanctuary, whose injuries were extensive. Eight of 10 birds had to be humanely euthanized, the examinations revealed.
FWC investigators cited Heath for:
The present situation at Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary remains under investigation by the FWC. During previous inspections by FWC investigators, Suncoast Seabird Sanctuary had been issued multiple warnings for similar issues.

A Musical Drama
Book & Lyrics by Frederick Feirstein
Music by William Harper
HEROISM is a love story between Willie and Wanda, two young musicians during the uprising in the Warsaw Ghetto. It's set in a courageous time when in the face of destruction people performed more folk concerts, musicals, comedies and poetry readings in than in any other time in the city's history. Willie is Jewish and Wanda who insists in staying with Willie in the Ghetto is Catholic. Through the development of this musical drama, Willie has to learn to pick up a gun instead of a guitar and fight in his father's abandoned factory in the Wild Ghetto.
These songs are selections from twenty in the show. "Tango" is the opening in which Willie and Wanda's families celebrate Willie's father's new factory. "Willie's Dream" is predictive of the destruction to come. "Some Birds" is a duet in which Willie tells Wanda to leave, and Wanda insists on staying and leaving her father who has become brutal and is about to betray Willie's father. "The Forest" is where Willie has taken a distraught Wanda and comforts her with a song he's composed. In "She's Gone" Wanda sings a song about the loss of her mother. "The Overcoat" is a rousing comedic song (the lyrics are only in the script) about Willie's brother bringing food and wine to his besieged family to feast on. In "The Wild Ghetto," a guilt-ridden Willie has come to fight. It is a duet between the leader of the men and women fighters who are armed, as Willie will be by the song's ending. "Willie's Prayer" is Willie's solo where he comes home for a day to find his family gone. In "Tomorrow" the leader rouses the fighters who have slept together to fight in their last battle. It is the most beautiful song in the show, an ensemble piece in which all praise life.

That line is only in FUNimation's dub. It wasn't said in the original or Blue Water's version
Goku said: "So does this mean I have to go back to school?" He's never been to school before, unless you consider the lessons that Master Roshi made him learn in Dragonball, which consisted of Goku's education, or the driving school in Dragonball Z.
Goku: (Thinking) And to think, all this is because of one selfish wish.
Goku: So, does this mean I have to go back to school?
Pan: Great, and now I've got a pint sized grandpa who looks like he should still be in diapers.
This episode can be found on the Game Boy Advance Video Cartridge Dragon Ball GT: Volume 1.
Bulma is 60 and Vegeta is 61. Goku and Chi-Chi are both four years younger than Bulma making them 56. Vegeta is five years older than Goku because he was five when Goku was a baby in Bardock movie, making him a year older than Bulma. This makes Krillin 57 because he's a year older than Goku. Marron is actually 23.
Pan was actually 5 in the jap version, and Bulla was 6. Pan's age was changed to 4, but Bra's age remains the same. Because 10 yrs pass in the dub version, Pan is 14 and Bra is 16. Other clues in the series reveal that Bra is 16.
Giru's orginal Japanese name is Gil.
It is a gag that their last name is briefs, their names are clothes: Trunks Briefs, Bra Briefs.
Bulla's original Japanese name is Bra.
Age wise in America:
Goku and Chichi: 55, Bulma and Vegeta: 60, Trunks: 28, Goten: 27, Gohan and Videl: 38, Pan: 14, Bulla: 15, Piccolo: 42
Giru's American serial number is T-20-06
Gils Serial Number is TB4649T006RS!
Goku and Chichi are 55, Gohan and Videl are 36, Bulma is 59, Vegeta is 60, Trunks is 28, Goten is 27, Krillin is 56, Marron is 22, Pan is 14 and Bulla is 13 or 15.
The FUNimation version is not really an episode of Dragonball GT. Due to the first saga "The Black Dragonball Saga" being shown at a later date, they had to create their own debut episode, which is this version.

For lodging check our
One of the most beautiful itineraries through Andalusia! Far away from the big cities this travel route permits visits to small and medium sized villages in the provinces of Málaga and Cádiz with a special emphasis on landscape and nature attractions. There is not just one "White Villages" route, but many other possibilities. We support a longer tour, which can be split up into smaller sections.
- Natural Parks - Arcos de la F. - Grazalema - Ronda
Description Itinerary through the mountainous regions Sierra de Grazalema, Serranía de Ronda and Los Alcornocales. Can be easily combined with visits to Cádiz, Sevilla and Málaga or with beach holidays on the Costa de la Luz or the Costa del Sol. Possible excursions to the Nature Site El Torcal (Antequera) or to the rock of Gibraltar.
The white villages owe their name to the way their residents often scatter lime on the walls of their houses. These seem to be inserted like bird nests into the mountains and are usually adorned by a castle. Red tile roofs and narrow streets complete the appearance of a typical "pueblo blanco".
Itinerary From Arcos to Ronda and Castellar de la Frontera.
Time needed 2 or 3 days. Towns as Ronda and Arcos de la Frontera even permit some extra time
Distance approx. 300 kilometers/185 miles
Best travel season Spring/Early Summer (March until June) and Autumn (September until November); possible even during the Winter (February).
Landscape an protected areas The most of the described white villages are situated in the western part of the Bética ranges. The highest elevation is the Pico de Pinar (1654 meters) close to the village of Grazalema, the number one rainy region of all Spain. On the other hand, the Serranía de Ronda, just a few miles east of Grazalema, has a dry climate. Cork and holm oaks and the very rare Spanish fir ("Pinsapo") grow in the forest. In the west, close to Arco de la Frontera, predominates farm land. Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park With 51.695 hectares one of the bigger natural parks of Andalusia with a rich flora and fauna. 13 villages lie on the territory. (Information centre El Bosque) Los Alcornocales Natural Park Territory of 170.025 hectares with 15 villages. Belong to the provinces of Málaga and Cádiz. As seen in its name, the main growing tree is the cork oak.
Tourist infrastructure
Tourist information
Many hotels and hostelries along the route, especially in Arcos de la Frontera and in Ronda. Also many campsites and some country houses (rustic apartments).
Patron Saint Feasts / Ferias

Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Professional Size: Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Squeeze Tube
As a fond fan of Urban Decay Primer Potion I've always wanted two things…
I mean you can seriously never have to much of this cult classic. It just works. It's as simply as that. Locks in shadow and holds it.
We all have had our rants in the pass and we've all wanted…
2. A squeeze tube.
Well, I'm delighted to say your prayers are answered in both 1 and 2.
Meet Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion Professional Size! It's Urban Decay Eyeshadow Squeeze Tube Edition biatches! Are you freaking ecstatic right now?
I've tried getting the most out of my UDPP in the past and almost sliced a finger or two off in the process but now I no longer have to worry about squeezing that last delicious drop out of that cute genie bottle!
This squeeze tube was designed with all us ranters in mind.
Not only is it in new packaging but a new larger size that sports 25 ml more than the original size!
The new needle-nose tip makes application precise, quick, and hygienic plus no wrestling with to get that genie of a primer out of its bottle!
Bless be!
The Makeup Gods have answered our prayers once again!
Available now from Sephora.
Thanks to Tiffany for pointing this out.
8/25/10 13:05 Heather H.:
Hi! Long time lurker but this just pulled me out in excitement! I think I just wet myself I'm so excited…. that can't be right? But it is UD after all.
8/25/10 13:06 the Muse:
LOL heather you and me both! I need to change my pants LOL
8/25/10 13:11 Eve:
I prefer my TFSI, mostly for package design, but I'm really glad to see this package get a makeover! It's long needed!
8/25/10 13:15 the Muse:
eve not a fan of TFSI to be honest so I'm absolutely excited that it's a tube now for UDPP!
8/25/10 13:19 Shamini:
Oh my, that's awesome! I'm absolutely getting one next time I order from Sephora. No doubt about it. Thanks for sharing, Muse!
8/25/10 13:21 the Muse:
my pleasure shamini I ordered one just now :D!
8/25/10 13:40 Aileen:
The only problem I see with this is that it says limited edition Eek…. Nooo stay forever please lol
8/25/10 13:48 the Muse:
god aileen I hope they use that term loosely!
8/25/10 13:46 BeautyBitch:
COULD THAT BE the clouds parting, angel singing and heaven itself opening its skylight to drop down a squeeze tube of UDPP??? Thank you make-up gods.
I've sometimes wanted to slather my whole face in UDPP during the summer when my make-up slides off and now it looks like I can! Joke. I won't be doing that but I can't promise that my friends who do drag won't. The femmes have been known to prime their face with Mitchum antiperspirant so it looks like pro size UDPP will be right up their street. Unless Urban Decay will come out with a super deluxe size in a cannister size for Christmas?
8/25/10 13:47 Konglishbeauty:
whoops, posted the above under my old username deets.
8/25/10 14:05 the Muse:
LOL bora! tell me 'bout it omg mitchum LOL! that's classic I'd buy the cannister…! haha!
8/25/10 13:47 mon:
Oy! I ordered the kit that had the XL UDPP last year during the Sephora f and f and haven't used it much in fear of it going bye bye and I'd have to cut the dern thing open. Why does UD do this to people? *sobs*
8/25/10 13:50 the Muse:
oh I got that too mon but thankfully I ran right through it so on to this
8/25/10 13:48 mon:
I mean I wish this came out earlier… *continues to sob*
8/25/10 14:07 Davina:
I absolutely love UDPP!! The last time I bought it I noticed that the new slanted applicator actually makes more of a mess when you close the bottle, and that they had increased the price to $18. I got soooo pissed that I returned it in anger and got the TFSI.
I've got to say, UD redeemed themselves with this one
Can't wait to get it!-
8/25/10 14:10 the Muse:
davina awesome isn't it
8/25/10 14:08 mav:
CRAP! I just bought the regular sized one. -.- Great. I think I should return that and go get this Thanks for letting me know, Muse!
8/25/10 14:09 the Muse:
my pleasure mav. I'd return!
8/25/10 14:20 Kay:
Eee! Hope this is out in the UK as soon as! Thanks for the info
8/25/10 14:30 the Muse:
my pleasure kay hope it gets there soon!
8/25/10 15:36 ichigobunnie:
omg!!! they finally got a squeeze tube!?!??! holy crap i hope that stays forever. i love my UDPP but god the genie bottle is shit lol
is this online only or it's coming out in stores?
8/25/10 15:57 the Muse:
hi ichi! finally LOL! it's online at Sephora.
8/25/10 15:40 JayJay:
HAHAH Finally!!! I had been hearing rumours about it, but I couldn't find confirmation. I love UDPP, but not the packaging. I never liked TFSI, nothing bad, it just didn't work for me.
8/25/10 15:56 the Muse:
same here jayjay def not a TFSI girl!
8/25/10 15:41 Ellie:
OMG YES! I'm still on my first bottle on UDPP, but after using it just once I realized that I would never again put on eyeshadow without it. I'm super excited for the squeeze tube. The genie-bottle packaging did something bizarre to me… one day I picked it up and it was all oily and the purple color came off on my hands O.O
8/25/10 15:56 the Muse:
ellie I felt the same when I got my first bottle weird!
8/25/10 15:52 Roxie:
*Happy Dancing*
I'm almost done with my genie bottle. Talk about perfect timing!
8/25/10 15:55 the Muse:
yay roxie!
8/25/10 16:05 Marina:
I've got enough UDPP to last me until the end of the year (my full-size tube and the one from Naked), but before college starts, this'll be mine.
8/25/10 16:19 the Muse:
Marina that's a girl :-D! I'm grabbing some too!
8/25/10 17:14 Storm:
Can we say makeup porn? I need this in my life. I will keep it in the drawer until my other one runs out…but I NEED this. I pray to the makeup gods that UD releases regular ones in the squeeze tube
8/25/10 17:18 Robyn:
you bet ill cut it open to scrape the last drop out
OMG! My jaw dropped when I saw the picture, what the what!
Are all the primers in squeeze tubes, or just the original?-
8/26/10 13:35 the Muse:
so far just the original LU
8/25/10 20:15 knownever:
Urban Decay finally figured out what side their bread is buttered on. give the ranters/fans what they want! lol
8/25/10 22:10 Misato-san:
A miracle!
I wonder if this one will be alavaible also in Italy… I'm curious to try it and finally it has got a size I can approve… the genie bottle is cute but… not simple to be used…-
8/26/10 13:10 the Muse:
misato gosh I hope so hun! for all our sakes this needs to be worldwide!
8/25/10 22:11 Phyrra:
OMFG YAY! They listened!
8/26/10 4:19 Ryou:
I can literally hear the choir from the heavens above… (Okay, I'm being overdramatic)
I wonder if the professional size primer will be available in the other two shades as well? I'd be more than willing to starve for all three!
8/26/10 13:02 the Muse:
ryou naa not dramatic, I heard the angels sing LOL I hope it will!
8/26/10 20:26 Ryou:
I just noticed on the Sephora page that it's a limited edition though. HOW DARE THEY. D:
8/27/10 8:59 the Muse:
ryou I'm betting they use the term loosely!
8/27/10 11:47 Storm:
Sephora said Naked was L/E and UD confirmed that it is permanent on their fb page
8/28/10 5:04 Ryou:
They better! Imagine the herd of pitchfork-armed UDPP junkies who would angrily demand they bring it back if they ever take the professional sized PP away away! XD;
8/30/10 15:15 the Muse:
LOL ryou! WE WANT SUPER SIZE WE WANT SUPER SIZE
8/26/10 9:43 fathima:
You guys are sooooooo lucky!! we dont have sephora here… so wanna try out UDPP or too faced shadow insurance…but none of these are available where i live and my parents don't allow online shopping…*sigh*..
Oh and BTW i have started my beauty blog since the last time you saw of me muse…-
8/26/10 13:47 the Muse:
hi fathima! awesome site was checking it out Aw sorry to hear it sigh
8/26/10 9:43 electronicfly:
NOW I'm actually gonna think about getting this. With the previous packaging it just wasn't worth the price+shipping+hassle. With this I can at least share with someone
8/26/10 12:52 the Muse:
it's HUGE electronicfly
8/26/10 9:54 Leah:
OMG, I think I am the only gal who's never used an eyeshadow primer ever… probably why my shadow is all over my face daily or worn off to a greasy line… I think I need me some of this! Love UD!
8/26/10 12:48 the Muse:
leah essential item dude
8/26/10 15:54 Sadies:
I'm kinda sad that I just bought the old version last month (so I could get free shipping). Oh well, at least this beautiful tube will be here when I finish the genie bottle.

The Art Of The Ask For Public Relations
Your success in part depends on your ability to master the ask.
You never know when you'll learn something.
Eating lunch over the weekend at Mt. Snow, Vermont's summit lodge after a morning skiing, I got a lesson in the art of persusasion from a tow-headed, exuberant 8-year-old named Sara. Eavesdropping on Sara and her older sister Lisa's conversation, I overheard Sara laying out their strategy to convince their ski instructor to take them on their favorite ski trail. Her plan was simple and brilliant: Ask the instructor enthusiastically if he would do so. And you know what? It worked. After they approached the instructor, he shortly returned asking who wanted to ski on that particular trail. Bet you know who yelled out that she did. All smiles, Sara turned to her sister and said, "I told you. You have to ask to get."
The art of the ask is something that adults have written books and articles about. One of those simple and profound truths, it often gets lost or misused in our adult need to overthink things. As PR professionals, who are supposedly communication experts, it's nevertheless all too easy to muddy the waters and forget the ask.
PR, whether B2B or B2C, is a multi-headed beast since the profession serves multiple masters. The head master of course is the client, the person at the end of the day that a PR person needs to answer to and satisfy. That doesn't mean you're simply a "Yes" person to the client, doing his or her bidding, but that you offer judicious counsel. Like any good consultant, you recommend tactics necessary to satisfy a client's objectives.
Don't think it's a shoo-in. In posing recommendations, you need to ask for your client's buy-in. Otherwise, there is no give and take or relationship. And in doing you, you need to exercise some finesse primarily by understanding your clien'ts style and the best way to make the ask. Do you try to make it the client's idea? Do you do so assertively or more offhandedly? It all depends on the style of your client. But at the end of the day your success in part depends on your ability to master the ask.
Where PR gets extra tricky is that you have a hodgepodge of other folks to ask—be it reporters, bloggers, event coordinators, partners, associations and no doubt others. You need to get them all on your team if possible so that together you can meet your client's objectives. Here too you need to be sensitive to the style and needs of the people you're working with.
Don't forget to ask wisely for what you need to effectively run a PR campaign. It could be your ticket to success.
What have you asked for that made your campaign more effective? I'd love to hear from you.

Very engaging. Effectively highlighting some of the issues in PR today. Agree with what you said about how to ask the press to respond. Another piece focused on your insights into this would be great.
Thanks, Anna. Glad you found the post helpful. I will think about doing another piece on the topic as you suggested.
Glad you enjoyed the post, Andrew. And, yes, client-focus is of course key.
Great sharing Wendy Marx
"If we want to run a up-and-coming company , we keep our eagle-eye on one thing: our client." -
That is a good point, Ellbee. However, it is of course a matter of how you ask. If you make your story as compelling and targeted as possible to a particular media person and don't waste his/her time with irrelevance or lack of information, you have a much better shot. Thank you for your comment.
Asking the client is the easy part. Asking the press to respond...not so much.

Stanley Kurtz at NRO is once again stumping for free speech in the academy, this time lauding Daniel Pipes' attempt to create a MEMRI-like organization dedicated to exposing the biases of Middle Eastern Studies faculties and their efforts to stamp out any, well, actual studies of the Middle East. My lawyer's heart just loves organizations like this that get specific with people who attack with broad, false generalities and hate to be confronted with reality.
I would like to introduce to you myy book Guest in a hostile Society: Notes of the first professor from an Arab University on sabbatical year in Israel.

★ Voice control web browser
★ Make web page transparent like glass to see things behind device
★ Free drawing on web page for marking
★ Searching or translating selected text in web page with voice commands
√ Click web elements with sprite
If the sprite is enabled, it can move by gravity sensor of device. The balance angle of device is 45 degree, which you can modify in configuration. When the sprite is on a clickable web element, you can say "yeah" to click the element if "StayOverTime Click Trigger" is disabled. Otherwise the sprite will click the element after time threshold of "StayOverTime Trigger".

For example, you can say "yahoo" or "facebook" to access corresponding site. The voice control can be enabled or disabled.
√Transparent background
First make sure voice control is enabled and your device has rear camera. Then you say "enable transparent" to make web page transparent like glass to see things behind device, for the reason of activation of rear camera and mixing of web page and camera image. You can say "disable transparent" to exit transparent background mode.

Just bought the 9.99$ package from Turbine including Moria, great deal i think. Anyway this is a brand new account, last time i played the game was over a year ago. So i'm starting fresh, i would like to know what class is the most "newbie" friendly and why ? |
I would go with a Warden if you like the tank type, and Rune keeper if you like to nuke/heal. Although i did die alot with my Rune Keeper ( but am nke happy ) Played Aoc/DDO/FFXI/WAR / LoTRo / CO / Aion Waiting for FFXIV to be the game it should. so sad =( |
I would argue that the Hunter is the most newbie freindly. They have a ton of single target DPS so they kill fast. They also get a lot of travel and escape abilities (runspeed buff, teleports). They are also fairly simple to run, no oddball comboes to memorize. All this makes them very good characters for a new player to explore the game with. For proffession I would highly reccomend explorer, particularly if you end up playing a class that wears cloth or leather armor. You will be able to make decent armor for yourself, and you'll make a ton of money selling ore on the AH. My first toon in LoTRO was a Loremaster / Historian. I don't think I could have possibly made the early game harder on myself... I don't want to write this, and you don't want to read it. But now it's too late for both of us. |

Originally posted by Zandora2018 It's funny, as soon as I saw the title the first thing that came to mind was "anything BUT the Warden". Not because the Warden is great or interesting. I would say it is probably the most interesting class that the game has. However, as for "noob friendly" I would say that it has a lot more player involvement and unless the OP (or anyone for that matter) has a lot of mmo or game experience and can adapt very quickly to different types of control schemes for classes I would say hold off on the Warden. There are just so many gambits to memorize that it might not be for everyone. I recall speaking with a Kin member who said that he had to have a cheat sheet just to remind him of some of the gambits when he started out. As for what another poster said about the hunter, I actually don't like the way the Hunter plays in LOTRO and prefer the archer styles of L2 or Guild Wars. So I found the Hunter sort of cumbersome. I also think part of this was my issue because it drove me nuts that I could be facing slightly askew to my target and yet still fire and hit my target. I was constantly trying to line up my character to my target. So that was my issue. My suggestion would be a Champion. Simple, straight forward "clobber monkey". Just my two cents. |
Really almost any class you play can be considered "noob friendly" - Turbine does a great job at describing all of the new combat skills / spells / abilities you gain as you level up - Just read the description and it should be pretty easy to figure out what to do! The Warden is a little more advanced, in that you really only have 4-5 skills on your quickslots to deal with, and the order in which you use those skills will unlock "Gambit" moves - so it does take a little more memorization - but its not THAT hard. Guardian is pretty easy to play, Champ is easy, Hunter is super easy - Capt / Lore-Master / Burglar are a little tougher, but they all make great support classes and are very valuable in groups. The great thing about this game, you can make up to 7 characters per server - try out a few different classes up to lvl 14 or so - wont take that long, and you will get a good feel for how they play. Good luck, and welcome to Middle-earth! |
I'd suggest Hunter, high dps and easy travels. Runekeepers are easy to solo, but be aware that you could be healing a lot in groups. Playing - FFXIV, TSW |
i was a newbie and went with Rune Keeper and enjoyed it a lot and never really had any problems. In fact its kinda fun and interesting with the rune meter thingy to keep track of it. |
I would suggest Hunter as well. |

I also suggest a hunter, My first (and still my main) character is a hunter ^^ it is a good class to start with ------------------------------------------------------------------- |
i am noob in lotro and i play hunter. |
Hunter or Champion would be the best classes for somebody who just strt playing that game. |
I started out as a Burglar lol :P Currently restarting World of Warcraft :/ |
I have to echo what was said above about the warden - it is a really great class, but not at all noob friendly (unless you are a genre veteran, maybe). I also can't state this strongly enough: if this is your first LOTRO character take the EXPLORER trade-skillset. Leveling your trades in LOTRO gets very expensive. If you want to fully experience that part of the game you may find yourself becoming disenchanted with it due to your being broke all the time. Being an Explorer, however, can actually help make you a bunch of money via trading your harvested and refined materials. If you are brand-new to MMORPGs go with a hunter, champ or captain - or perhaps a rune keeper. If you are veteran of WoW, EQ or other games like that then just pick the class that sounds like you would like it. None of them are really *that* hard to play for someone who is familiar with the MMO concepts and general controls. One thing to note about many of the hunter skills and some of the othe classes' skills is that they are induction based. I think that is the right word. Similar to mage skills in WoW - meaning you will need to stand in one spot for X seconds before the skill is fired. Some people (in the past myself included) have had a hard time adjusting to it. In this game if you start a class and by level 10-20 you aren't really enjoying it, then drop it and start another. As I've said elsewhere here, LOTRO with the wrong class for you can be boring but with the right class for you it is extremely fun. |
No love for the guard? Was my first character and have the 20 survival title so can't be all that unfriendly to noobs. |
Ok thanks guys for the tips, so far i made it to level 11 as a hunter, i swear leveling is way faster today then it was last time i played. I havent choosen a tradeskill yet, but i guess i'll go Explorer like everyone suggest. What does being explorer actually allow you to do ? And can you only take 1 tradeskill & gathering skills ? |
Originally posted by Aguitha An Explorer can make cloth or leather armor, they are actually the most self sufficient tailors in the game. The can also process hides (to feed their tailoring), and they can gather wood and metal ore. As you will have little use for the latter two, sell them on the AH for giant stacks of cash. You will generally want to process ore for prospecting crafting XP. You will make more crafting XP in Forester than you will ever need to max it out just boiling hides, so it's optional to process wood before you sell it. One advantage to processing wood is that Armsmen need wood and cannot process it themselves, so you slightly increase your market. However wood doesn't sell for nearly as much as ore regardless. I don't want to write this, and you don't want to read it. But now it's too late for both of us. |
Hunter, like the others said! It's great for getting around the world as you can TP. Choose a human one as you get the Bree TP early. |
Just don't start with a lore master. |

The smaller size for women were a great improvement over other sizes I have tried. I love the bindings, easy to slip on and off with one hand. The poles are excellent quality too. The carry bag makes it nice for storing, even wet snowshoes, because it has drainage mesh. Very satisfied, cant wait for it to snow again!
These were exactly what I was looking for; product came with a link to watch how to get them on/off; and how to adjust pole height. They're very easy to get in and out of and a lot of fun! Highly recommend.

Closer to home\, on earth the aurora borealis is a spectacular\, naturally occurring\, light show. Both of these large scale events are driven by magnetic reconnection in plasmas. The spontaneous rearrangement of magnetic field topology provides the enormous energy needed for these celestially magnificent and diverse phenomena. Magnetic reconnection has been a fascinating topic of research in plasma physics for over sixty years. While we still do not fully understand the process of reconnection\, significant progress has been made in the past decade through detailed analysis of laboratory experiments and computer simulations. The Versatile Toroidal Facility (VTF) at MIT is an experiment dedicated to the study of magnetic reconnection. In this talk I will describe experimental observations from VTF which have led to a new theoretical paradigm for magnetic reconnection. Large scale computer simulations support the experimental and theoretical results detailing the release of magnetic energy during reconnection. We are now able to explain the large scale electron heating observed during reconnection by spacecraft in the earth's magnetotail. Our model may also provide insight to magnetic reconnection on the sun and the associated heating in solar flares and coronal mass ejections URL:http://www.physics.wisc.edu/twap/view.php?id=2707 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR

Gavin Hauptfleish will spearhead Paarl Boys' challenge this season.
The flyhalf is one of three players in the 2010 squad who represented the 1st XV last year, along with flankers JC Jooste and Byers de Villiers. Hauptfleish has the rare ability to dictate a game with his boot, while using his attacking skills to carve defences to shreds. He will play alongside SA Academy centre Heinrich Arendse, who has just joined the school.
Paarl Boys' head coach Elmo Wolfaard will once again be assisted by Mike Bayley, the former Bulls assistant coach who is involved with the school as a consultant, while ex-Boland and Bulls front ranker Andries Human will assist Richard Visagie with the pack.
'Our preparations have been of a high quality, so we are feeling confident ahead of the new season,' Wolfaard told keo.co.za. 'Last year we lost only two games – to Boland Landbou [23-19] and Grey Bloem [50-8] – but we are striving to do even better in 2010.'
Paarl Boys' kick off their season at the St Johns Easter Festival in early April where they will face stern opposition in Helpmekaar, Hoërskool Nelspruit and Jeppe Boys' High. Their biggest game of the year will be at home against Grey College on 8 May.

Tomosynthesis - 3D Mammography
The Women's Imaging Center at Newton-Wellesley Hospital is now offering 3D mammography, called tomosynthesis. Newton-Wellesley Hospital strives to offer patients the latest technology and most advanced treatment options and is one of the first community hospitals to provide this service for patients.
Screening mammograms are offered at Newton-Wellesley Hospital and at two off-site Ambulatory Care Centers at 307 West Central Street, Natick and 111 Norfolk Street, Walpole. To schedule a mammogram appointment at any of these locations, please call 617-243-6829.
What is tomosynthesis?
Tomosynthesis, also known as 3D mammography, is a new technology that allows the physician to see thin mammography sections of the entire breast. This results in better detail without the superimposed tissue above and below each section that can hide abnormalities on the traditional two-dimensional image provided by mammography.
What are the benefits of tomosynthesis?
Tomosynthesis provides physicians with a clearer image of the breast tissue and decreases the need for further examinations. This technology can help distinguish superimposed tissue from real abnormalities, leading to fewer call backs and less anxiety for women. Tomosynthesis may also find smaller cancers at earlier stages. Most importantly, tomosynthesis has resulted in significant improvement in the detection of invasive cancers.
Who should have tomosynthesis?
Almost all patients who need a screening or diagnostic mammogram can benefit from having 3D mammography. Tomosynthesis is especially helpful for women with dense breast tissue.
Does tomosynthesis have more radiation?
Yes, adding tomosynthesis does involve additional radiation compared with the standard digital mammogram. The radiation dose for the combined digital mammogram and tomosynthesis remains well under the FDA guidelines for mammography.
What does the tomosynthesis equipment look like?
The equipment appears identical to a standard digital mammogram except that the tube head arcs over the breast during a foursecond exposure. The breast is compressed similar to a standard 2D mammogram but patients often find the compression less uncomfortable because of the changes in the design of the paddles. Our certified technologists have special training with this new equipment and strive to help make the exam as comfortable as possible.
Who reads my tomosynthesis exam?
After your 3D tomosynthesis mammogram is obtained, the images are interpreted by the physician, a specially trained breast imaging radiologist.
If I have to have additional tests, does this mean I have cancer?
The majority of women who have extra views do not have cancer. It is our responsibility to be exceedingly thorough and look into any changes in your breast tissue that may appear on your films. Often taking another image from a different angle will help determine if the area is truly of concern.
I have been getting regular mammograms. Do I still need to do breast self-examination?
Absolutely. A mammogram is the best single examination to detect breast cancer. It will detect 85 to 90 percent of cancers before they can be felt. However, that also means that 10 to 15 percent of cancers can be felt before they are seen on a mammogram. Sometimes cancers may be hidden by surrounding breast tissue, which makes self-examination crucial. There is a myth that by the time breast cancer can be felt – it's too late. That is simply not true. If you feel a change in your breast, bring it to your physician's attention.
When I check my breasts, they feel lumpy. How can self examination help if I don't know what a cancer lump feels like?
Many of my patients are frustrated by the fact that their breasts feel lumpy. I recommend that they approach self examination with a different perspective. Don't examine yourself with the idea of finding a lump. All breasts feel lumpy to varying degrees. Instead, check your breasts regularly enough to know how they feel. Then, continue checking to make sure they feel the same as they always have. If you notice any changes, share them with your physician because there is a possibility that you have detected an early cancer.
While tomosynthesis does involve additional radiation compared with the standard digital mammogram, the radiation dose for the combined digital mammogram and tomosynthesis remains well under the FDA guidelines for mammography.
The Newton-Wellesley Mammography Program is licensed and inspected by the State of Massachusetts yearly, certified by the FDA and accredited by the American College of Radiology.

Ancient city of Amos (Turkey) to serve tourism
The Marmaris Chamber of Commerce, or MTO, Muğla University Archeology Department, Turunç Municipality and The Union of Tourism and Infrastructure in Marmaris and its Environs, or MARTAB, have joined forces for the project.
Speaking at the amphitheater of the 4,000-year-old city of Amos, located approximately 20 kilometers from Marmaris, MTO President Mehmet Baysal said the organization was proud to become a part of the efforts. "Amos was a part of the Caria civilization and one of the most important elements of the the Rhodes union," he said. "We are very happy that now it can serve as a tourism hotspot."
Baysal said no excavations will be performed in the city for now, and only landscaping works will be done, focusing on the 1,000 people capacity amphitheater.
Miray Apak, MTO's foreign relations director, said the works in Amos were part of the chamber's ongoing project "Where will Marmaris be in 2010."
"We have applied for the necessary permits," said Apak. "The construction works will start once the permits are granted, which I believe will be very soon."
Turunç Mayor Ali Fuat Fidan, a member of the main opposition Republican People's Party, or CHP, said projects for the ancient city of Amos have been on the district's agenda for years. "Today we are making a start," he said. "I want to thank all the parties involved in the project and promise the municipality will support them in the best way it can."
The head of Muğla University's archeology department, Professor Adnan Diler, who acts as a scientific consultant to the project, noted not enough attention is shown to the historical assets of the Muğla region. "The ministry and gendarmerie cannot be enough; the local officials and nongovernmental organizations should take care of these remains," said Diler.
Diler said he was excited with the stage of the ancient amphitheater. "I will support the project as a consultant," he added. "For years, we have argued 'don't do that there, declare this area a protected zone,' but this is not the way to preserve the ancient remains. We must do the right things and show that preservation is not that difficult."
The ruins of the ancient city of Amos can be reached from Asarcık Hill, northwest of Kumlubük Bay. Amos dates to the Hellenistic era and now consists of an amphitheatre on the side of the hill, a temple and statue pedestals. Surrounded by ramparts dating back to the same time, this amphitheater is in good condition, including its seating area, side walls and stage with three chambers. Excavations in 1948 by Professor George Evards Bean revealed four inscriptions, which mentioned three rental contracts, thought to date from around 200 B.C.

Researchers at Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) have created a single nanoparticle that can be tracked in real time with MRI as it homes in on cancer cells, tags them with a fluorescent dye and kills them with heat. The all-in-one particle is one of the first examples from a growing field called "theranostics" that develops technologies physicians can use to diagnose and treat diseases in a single procedure.
Related Articles
The research is available online in the journal Advanced Functional Materials. Tests so far involve laboratory cell cultures, but the researchers said MRI tracking will be particularly advantageous as they move toward tests in animals and people.
"Some of the most essential questions in nanomedicine today are about biodistribution -- where particles go inside the body and how they get there," said study co-author Naomi Halas. "Noninvasive tests for biodistribution will be enormously useful on the path to FDA approval, and this technique -- adding MRI functionality to the particle you're testing and using for therapy -- is a very promising way of doing this."
Halas, Rice's Stanley C. Moore Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering and professor of chemistry and biomedical engineering, is a pioneer in nanomedicine. The all-in-one particles are based on nanoshells -- particles she invented in the 1990s that are currently in human clinical trials for cancer treatment. Nanoshells harvest laser light that would normally pass harmlessly through the body and convert it into tumor-killing heat.
In designing the new particle, Halas partnered with Amit Joshi, assistant professor in BCM's Division of Molecular Imaging, to modify nanoshells by adding a fluorescent dye that glows when struck by near-infrared (NIR) light. NIR light is invisible and harmless, so NIR imaging could provide doctors with a means of diagnosing diseases without surgery.
In studying ways to attach the dye, Halas' graduate student, Rizia Bardhan, found that dye molecules emitted 40-50 times more light if a tiny gap was left between them and the surface of the nanoshell. The gap was just a few nanometers wide, but rather than waste the space, Bardhan inserted a layer of iron oxide that would be detectable with MRI. The researchers also attached an antibody that lets the particles bind to the surface of breast and ovarian cancer cells.
In the lab, the team tracked the fluorescent particles and confirmed that they targeted cancer cells and destroyed them with heat. Joshi said the next step will be to destroy whole tumors in live animals. He estimates that testing in humans is at least two years away, but the ultimate goal is a system where a patient gets a shot containing nanoparticles with antibodies that are tailored for the patient's cancer. Using NIR imaging, MRI or a combination of the two, doctors would observe the particles' progress through the body, identify areas where tumors exist and then kill them with heat.
"This particle provides four options -- two for imaging and two for therapy," Joshi said. "We envision this as a platform technology that will present practitioners with a choice of options for directed treatment."
Eventually, Joshi said, he hopes to develop specific versions of the particles that can attack cancer at different stages, particularly early stage cancer, which is difficult to diagnose and treat with current technology. The researchers also expect to use different antibody labels to target specific forms of the disease. Halas said the team has been careful to choose components that are either already approved for medical use or are already in clinical trials.
"What's nice is that every single component of this has been approved or is on a path toward FDA approval," Halas said. "We're putting together components that all have good, proven track records."
Bardhan and BCM postdoctoral researcher Wenxue Chen are co-primary authors of the paper. Additional Rice co-authors include Emilia Morosan, assistant professor of physics and astronomy, and graduate students Ryan Huschka and Liang Zhao. Additional BCM co-authors include Robia Pautler, assistant professor of neuroscience and radiology, postdoctoral researcher Marc Bartels and graduate student Carlos Perez-Torres.
