He appears to be a Spanish television/movie star, and he's a paladin who likes "body-to-body" fighting.
As an aside, the word "paladin" in Spanish sounds awesome.
Sadly, what jumps out at me is that once again Blizzard is promoting the paladin as a melee character. Why is it so hard for their raid/class team to understand this and shape the class accordingly?

Who is Willy Toledo?

Wow, good find. I love it, especially the part where his character talks with his voice. In Spanish. If all Paladins sounded that sexy when they talked, more players would probably take them seriously and stop asking them to put on a dress and heal. Unfortunately, I think that they, like Druids, are often the victims of the "hybrid" tag (which I hear in Spanish means "having a heal button, thus limiting their usefulness in all other things").

Ok, gotta admit it, that was pretty awesome.
Playing toxic amounts of Warcraft III this weekend made me wish they had made the class resemble the paladins from there more. It would be fun to have been a melee support class with a long cooldown instant cast nuke heal (different LoH maybe?).

Well with ret now being a solid raid DPS-hybrid it's not so bad to promote it as melee.

I'm not sure this commercial has so much to do with promoting melee paladins. I'm pretty sure that the melee paladin is there because a guy standing around healing a group would be both boring and unintelligible to anyone who wasn't a WoW player. Melee looks interactive (action between character and mob) and is easily understandable through simple visuals. Healing *looks* boring, because so much of the interaction is with the UI.

"Hi, my name is Willy Toledo... and I am a Paladin."
"I am a combination of a spell caster and a specialist in 'body to body' combat."(Here comes the pun, since in spanish 'body to body' is how you say melee, that's why the scene with the two chicks)
"...'body to body', clearly what I like most."
"But this is serious, I am the protector of the Holy Light."
"I am Willy Toledo, and I'm a Paladin."
"And you?"
"What's your game?"
There ya go, the translation.

Oh, and by the way, Guillermo 'Willy' Toledo is a spanish actor, specialized in comedy, who became popular with his character in the spanish TV show '7 Vidas' (1999-2002), and also thanks to movies like 'El otro lado de la cama' or 'Días de fútbol'.
He is pretty dammm funny.

Some stuff just sounds really nice in spanish. Especially the part about being protector of the light. Just seemed to flow better than when you say it in english. Maybe just because it's not what we're used to hearing.
Now I wonder how many of these commercials are actually out there for different languages.

I'm finding the melee aspect to finally be catching up. Retribution still needs some retooling (SoB/SoV to both factions please, and JoC needs to scale with melee stats better), but it's definitely on its way. I have to laugh because Paladins are so often portrayed as lecherous in spite of being "holy defenders of the light." This ad was no exception.
¡Yo soy un Paladín!

William Shatner has done a version of this advert, but hes a taurean shaman,
How dissapointed people will be if they roll a paladin because they think we are a melee class who is universaly accepted :)
Its an uphill struggle as retri, but damn id like to be as cool as him, mayb in the expansion we will be able to choose our voices, if so Mr toledo voice here i come!

Paladins have always been considered as Off tanks. So they are a melle type"body to body" In raids they tank the secondary mobs while the warrior will tank the primary mob. always been like that in Everquest and in wow

Rated 5 out of 5�by EBrea78 Love these shoes I have to admit that I was a bit leery about purchasing these shoes. I worry about taking the reviews that others post all that seriously; I prefer to experience it for myself. Within 2 minutes of trying on these shoes, I was sold. I wear them to the gym, for trail runs and for pavement running. There is ample room in the toe box and they literally fit like a glove. I will be buying a backup pair in another color as well. One note--I normally wear a size 8.5 and I had to purchase these in a 7.5 so they seem to run a bit large. Other than that--no complaints! November 28, 2013

Oil & Gas Journal
US President Barack Obama's decision on the proposed Keystone XL crude oil pipeline project could be the first major policy test in the president's second term, American Petroleum Institute officials said. "It will be the first serious test," API Pres. Jack N. Gerard said during a Nov. 14 luncheon at the IHS Forum. "If he denies the application, it will show climate and emissions matter more than jobs and economic growth to his administration." Obama should give voters what they asked for in the Nov. 6 elections and approve the project at his earliest opportunity, API Executive Vice-Pres. Marty Durbin recommend on Nov. 15. "He has the authority to approve this [cross-border] permit tomorrow," he told reporters during a teleconference.

First, hello everyone! I joined quite a while ago, but haven't been able to be online a whole lot due to a few family matters that came up and some frustrating computer issues. Oh, and this is my first post due to aforementioned issues.
I scanned the threads involving creationtionism and didn't see one that applied to what I wanted to say.
This is not so much a point I'm looking for debate on as I needed a place to express myself where I knew that at least someone else would understand where I'm coming from.
A friend of over 20 years (who is exactly my age) married a man, just two years younger than my father (who is 76), about 6 years ago. That in itself was creepy enouigh to make me wonder about her sanity. Many decisions that came after really had me scratching my head. She was in town for a few days last year and dumped a bombshell on me. One that, of all the people I know, I never thought she would be the one to do it. Though, in retrospect, it does explain much of the seemingly insane choices she's made in the last few years.
While at a restaurant, she leans over and whispers (in a voice loud enough to be heard at tables on either side of us), that did I know about the biggest myth we all grew up with? The "theory" of evolution! This from the woman who helped me convince my husband many years ago that all the stories in the bible couldn't possibly be taken at face value, man cannot have descended from two people, and evolution is a proven fact - not a "theory." Hiding my horror as best I could, I started to question her about various matters relating to evolution and the bible. It soon became clear she had fallen, hook, line and sinker for the whole creationist spiel.
I love her, and her kids, dearly. But, in my heart, I've lost a lot of respect for her. Not so much because she chooses to believe nonsense, but because she's using it as an excuse for repeatedly poor decisions she's been making these past few years that don't just adversely affect her, but her kids as well. I do not mean that I simply disagree with her lifestyle. To each his or her own, so long as it doesn't adversely affect others, especially children. I mean that her choices are directly responsible for problems her kids are now paying the price for.
Has anyone here run into a similar situation with a loved one, family or friends?

text: Comment: Had these in no time thanks to Jafrum's quick shipping. They look great and are really a quality item. I have a '02 V Star 650 and these fit just in front of the turn signals and still give the passenger room for their feet. I had to punch a couple of extra holes in the underseat strap to pull them up close to the seat for clearance above the exhaust.

Hi everyone,
Over the years, I have become extremely cynical and frustrated with the level of hypocrisy, bias, and spin, in our countries political discourse. From the politicians themselves, the media, and other voters, it is nearly impossible to get a rational, clear, and critical critique of a certain politician or policy. There are hundreds of websites and organizations that apply skepticism and critical thinking to religion or pseudoscience. I think we need more of that applied to politics.
At the end of the day, it will always be an individuals choice what politician or policy to support; we each have our own priorities and values. I'm not concerned with influencing who or what people should vote for. I just want decisions to be based on facts and a rational, un-biased evaluation of the pros and cons; not based on which politician is the better spin-doctor, or the most charming, or the most popular. And certainly not based on media bias, or a prejudicial commitment to a particular party.
There are certain things that are clearly bunk, regardless of your ideology. These problems are present in all political parties; all politicians seek to serve their own self-interests, and all politicians and voters (myself included) are controlled by their biases (it's just human nature). Even those of us who can easily apply skepticism and critical thinking to religion or pseudoscience have difficulty applying it to politics (if we even try to).
Is there any hope that some day, reason and critical thinking will actually play a major role in our countries politics?

The increase in medical school applications to LECOM is the highest among all osteopathic colleges.
The American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine (AACOM) reports that for the fifth straight year applications to osteopathic medical schools have risen to a new high. While nationally, the increase over last year is just above seven percent, applications to LECOM campuses in Erie and Greensburg, Pa. and Bradenton, Fla. have increased even more. Of more than 13,500 applicants to all osteopathic medical schools, 5410 included LECOM Erie/Greensburg among the schools where they applied– a 24 percent increase over last year. In Bradenton, the college received 4281 applications, up 18% from last year. These numbers are through January 28, 2011 and the applications will continue arriving through the first of April. LECOM will accept more than 500 students for medical school at its campuses.
The College offers innovative, affordable, student centered medical education that attracts applicants from nearly every state. LECOM also offers two, three-year accelerated programs for the osteopathic medical degree. Only one other college in the country offers a three-year curriculum for physician training. LECOM also has one of the lowest private medical school tuitions in the country. The College also offers a doctor of pharmacy degree and plans to open a school of dental medicine next year in Bradenton.
According to AACOM, as potential medical students learn more about becoming an osteopathic physician (DO), they are increasing their applications to osteopathic medical colleges. As of mid-January, with three months left to apply for the 2011 entering medical student class, the number of applicants to the nation's 26 colleges of osteopathic medicine already has surpassed last year's cycle-end total. More than 13,500 aspiring physicians have applied to the schools, 7.3 percent more than had applied at this time in the cycle last year.
- Potential medical students have submitted more than 100,000 applications to the nation's 26 osteopathic medical colleges; on average, the colleges are receiving approximately 20 applications for every available seat.
- Every one of the colleges is recording increased numbers of applications this year, with growth in applications ranging from under 1 percent to more than 25 percent.
- 19,426 students are currently enrolled in an osteopathic medical college, a number that has nearly doubled since the year 2000.
- More than 20 percent of new U.S. medical students are studying at osteopathic medical colleges.
- By 2015, more than 5,300 osteopathic physicians will graduate from the nation's osteopathic medical schools each year.
- Growth in the number of osteopathic medical school graduates will help mitigate looming physician shortages, especially in the critical primary care area. DO students continue to pursue primary care fields (internal medicine, family medicine, pediatrics) in proportions surpassing those of their U.S.-trained MD colleagues.
- The nation's approximately 63,000 osteopathic physicians are fully licensed to practice the entire scope of modern medicine, bringing a patient-centered, holistic, hands-on approach to diagnosing and treating illness and injury.
The Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine and LECOM School of Pharmacy offer innovative and affordable education in osteopathic medicine and pharmacy. From campuses in Erie, Pennsylvania, Greensburg, Pennsylvania and Bradenton, Florida, LECOM provides student-centered pathways to prepare the next generation of healthcare professionals. Prepare yourself for medicine as your life's profession.

You flip through fashion magazines, watch celebrities on the red carpet and shop online during your many shopping escapades in the search for the perfect dress for your Quinceanera. Most of the dresses that are featured in the media are worn by women that have one body type. But in reality, you know that women come in all beautiful shapes and sizes. So it is important to identify your body shape and find the dress that emphasizes your best features while minimizing areas that you wish to conceal. Whether you're petite or plus sized, Camille La Vie and Group USA have a variety of Quinceanera dresses for every body type that will complement the different shapes of women. And on an exciting note, many of these dresses possess a versatile quality that can easily transition as prom dresses for 2014.
Tips for Finding the Perfect Quinceanera Dress for Your Body Type
Thin. Most women envy your body type, but it's probably hard for you to find dresses that complement your shape. Select a dress that will accentuate your waistline and distributes curves. Strapless party dresses with full skirts, pleats, layers and A-line silhouettes will give you volume in the right places.
Large bust. A large bust requires a supportive dress, so look for one that has straps that will allow you to wear a bra. You may even try a one--shoulder dress that will give you support but also add an element of style with the right bra. Avoid spaghetti straps and the temptation to hide your bust with a high neckline. You can try a dress with an empire waist or an A-line cut that minimizes the top while accentuating the bottom.
Apple shaped. Choose a dress that detracts attention away from your mid-section. You can accomplish this with an empire dress. Focus on your assets. If you have nice arms and legs, you should consider opting for a short Quinceanera dress, such as a baby doll style or a dress with a beaded bodice.
Pear shaped. Dresses that are loose and flowing in the bottom half will camouflage your lower body. A-line dresses easily accomplish this goal. Highlight your shoulders and arms with a strapless dress, such as one with a sweetheart neckline. If you want that sleek look…a chic floor length creates a tasteful silhouette.
Petite. There are a couple of things a petite woman can do to appear taller. Most obviously, wear heels, such as platform sandals. If your quinceanera will be the first time you wear them, just make sure to practice, so you feel confident and comfortable walking around. A dress with an asymmetrical hemline will also make you look taller. If you plan to wear a long dress, be sure to wear a pair of platform heels to give the illusion of a taller figure. And…if you do wear those heels…you can even wear an on-trend hi-lo dress to show off your legs in the front, while still adding some gorgeous floor length drama in the back.

Click below to hear the interview
By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
About a year from now, 6,400 federal workers will be starting to make a BRAC-related commute through heavy traffic.
The 2005 Base Realignment and Closure plan requires 6,400 defense personnel currently working in Metro-accessible leased office space in Northern Virginia move to the new Mark Center facility by September 2011.
Rep. Jim Moran told Federal News Radio the traffic is already even worse than advertised. On a shuttle ride last week to see what traffic will be like, Moran said "at some points during the shuttle ride, it looked like the grass by the side of the road was growing faster than the traffic was moving."
The ride took him from the Springfield/Franconia Metro station to Seminary Road, one of the routes future employees at the Mark Center would be expected to take.
"It took us 50 minutes," said Moran, and would have taken longer during the height of the rush hour and even longer if it had been raining.
"This is not going to work."
Moran said the 6,400 employees are mostly working in offices with good access to Metro and "forcing them to find another means, primarily by automobile, to get to the Mark Center."
Moran said the Center is already at a "near failed level of congestion," without the additional traffic.
All told, said Moran, "everyone commuting on 395 going North in the mornings will probably experience a two to three hour delay. That's chaos."
Moran has added language in the Defense Authorization Act to limit parking at the Mark Center to a thousand, hoping to reduce the amount of vehicles on roads in the area.
For more on this and Moran's first official visit as chair of the Interior Appropriations Subcommittee to the Interior Department, listen to the entire interview by clicking on the audio player at the top of the page.

I would love to have them keep the Hornets but I'm down with The Pelicans. This just goes to show that you can't please everyone because a lot of the people I see butt hurt are the main ones that were crying for years about a name change.
If Wayne is E.T.-ish tell him phone home
I love the CURRENT Hornets floor, I will miss it :/
Pelicans is not a bad name.
The Mascot wouldn't be bad either.
Bad mascots look like this...
The HEAT mascot or The MAGIC.
I'll take Pelicans.
This is all.
Why wouldn't you let the fans vote on it
Look at the bright side. Look at how much buzz this has gotten. It shows how many of us love our team.
First of all this isn't set in stone. It hasn't been announced by the team. Yahoo does the worst job of journalism. They try to be the first to report on everything so they'll just speculate on something in hopes of being right for the sake of being the first to report it. I have a sneaking suspicion that when Gayle Benson said they had decided on the colors navy blue, red, and gold because those are the colors of the state flag, Yahoo! started digging around and found that the Benson owns the name New Orleans Pelicans from when he owned the minor league baseball team. Then speculated that since the Brown Pelican is also on the state flag they just threw the news out as truth. But that being said, I too, am simply speculating LOL! Bottom line: I don't want to see no damn Pelicans playing basketball!
Eh, I would have much prefered Brass or even Krewe than the Pelicans. For those of us old enough, that name will always be associated with minor league baseball.
"Aime la vérité, mais pardonne à l'erreur." - François-Marie Arouet (Voltaire)
It's HIS toy (well really seems like Gayles toy but) Be happy we have a team! Would you rather it stayed Hornets and left to go Las Vegas or wherever?
Team could be called the New Orleans turdsandwiches and i'd still rock it proudly.
I can complain about the name because I don't care where the team is, Im not a New Orleans native.... nor ever even been there, I've been a Hornets fan for a while, since Charlotte days... the name "Pelicans" has NO meaning to me
I like pelicans, though Voodoo is definitely my favorite. I'm not thrilled w/ the color combo though

Thank you for taking time out of your busy day to visit my website.
I am honored to serve the citizens of House District 27 in my second term at the Colorado General Assembly. On March 22, 2014, the delegates of House District 27 voted to place my name on the primary ballot, which will lead to my running for a third term in the state House.
Ever since I was a small girl, I have believed in the ideals that make our country strong: honesty, integrity, and hard work. I use these deeply held values in my work on behalf of my friends and neighbors.
My family has owned a small business in the area for over 40 years. Between that and my own experiences working in the financial services industry, I understand the challenges businesses face due to over regulation and increased taxes. Every day when the Legislature is in session, I champion the issues important to small businesses and families. Moreover, my voting record reflects this commitment.
It is an honor and privilege to serve the citizens of House District 27.
Representative Libby Szabo,
Colorado House District 27, House Minority Assistant Leader

The Lions will be 'automatically relegated' if they do not resolve a long standing dispute with franchise partners the Pumas and Leopards.
This was decided by Saru at its last executive council meeting, according to an article in the The New Age.
Official documentation in possession of the newspaper says the Lions have until the end of this season to come to an agreement with their partners (the Golden Lions, Pumas and Leopards make up the Lions franchise), who this week confirmed that negotiations relating to the repayment of outstanding broadcasting fees have failed.
'Our endeavours to resolve this matter out of court have been unsuccessful and we have been left with no choice but to arbitrate,' Leopards president Andre May told The New Age.
According to the official documentation, until the matter is resolved:
a) Broadcast revenue payments are to be withheld from the Lions
b) Payments of R750,000 each be made to the Pumas and Leopards
c) Automatic relegation from Super Rugby at the end of 2012 Super Rugby competition for the Lions.

Laurie Kelly blinked awake from surgery at Hoag Hospital in Newport Beach, grateful for the cutting-edge technology that gave her the chance to beat breast cancer in a single day.
That June 2010 morning, Hoag doctors removed a tumor from her left breast. Then they positioned their brand-new Xoft Axxent device to deliver a high dose – 20 gray – of electron radiation to her surrounding flesh, eliminating the need for six weeks of treatment. Kelly's healthy tissue was protected by the Axxent FlexiShield Mini, a malleable metal pad made of silicone-wrapped tungsten.
Six months later, with her ordeal apparently behind her, Kelly, 58, went in for a routine mammogram and MRI. Her stomach dropped when the film showed white specks about the size of salt grains inside her breast.
"My nightmare started all over again," she said. "I thought, 'Oh God, they found another spot.'"
But this time, cancer wasn't the invader. Instead, tungsten particles from the shield had been driven into her breast during the procedure. Some of the metal subsequently migrated to her urine, medical records show.
"Even though the day I had my surgery the cancer was removed, something potentially worse was put inside of me. It was the most frightening thing I ever heard," said Kelly, an Irvine psychologist.
Xoft voluntarily recalled the Axxent FlexiShield in February 2011, after two of the first hospitals to use the device – Hoag and Karmanos-Crittenton Cancer Center in Rochester Hills, Mich. – reported to the Food and Drug Administration that a metallic, powdery substance was found inside the breasts of 10 women treated with the device. One report described the metal as "apparently ... debris left from the tungsten shield." Since the recall, the number of patients reporting a metallic or powdery substance in their breasts has risen to 29.
The alarming outcomes brought new fuel to a longstanding debate over an FDA rule, known as 510 (k), that allows manufacturers to fast-track new medical devices to market without human testing.
The 1976 law was intended to provide quick approval of low- and moderate-risk medical devices. But after extensive lobbying by medical manufacturers, Congress changed the regulations to make it even easier to get clearance. Today, about 90 percent of the devices on the market are cleared for use through the 510 (k) process, FDA officials say.
Regulators, independent reviewers, doctors and consumer advocates agree that the 510 (k) process is seriously flawed. The process clears new inventions if they are "substantially equivalent" to devices already on the market. But there is a lot of leeway in that rule. The tungsten FlexiShield, for instance, was approved based on another product made from a different metal. In other cases, new inventions have been cleared even though they were similar to devices that proved faulty after their release.
"Patients and doctors would be shocked to learn how this is done," said Diana Zuckerman, president of the National Research Center for Women and Families. "The 510 (k) program is the weakest and most nonsensical program in the FDA."
Dr. Melvin Silverstein, medical director of Hoag Breast Care Center and Kelly's surgeon, declined requests to be interviewed for this article, citing lawsuits against Hoag by Kelly and 12 other patients.
But Dr. Jack Cox, chief quality officer at Hoag, told The Orange County Register in a statement: "The physicians involved with the clinical trial took immediate action upon discovering the situation and notified all of their patients involved in the clinical research trial. In addition, as soon as the physicians and Hoag clinical trials staff became aware that there were concerns about the device, they immediately notified the FDA. ... The highest quality patient care and safety are absolute top priorities at Hoag."
Hoag also noted, in court filings, that they had warned patients in a written disclosure that the treatment they would receive was new and its safety was unproven.
Xoft, the shield manufacturer, and its parent company iCAD, declined requests for an interview.

Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, the North Carolina president of the NAACP, found a vocal and enthusiastic crowd at Kinston's St. Augustus AME Zion Church Thursday morning. With early voting underway and Election Day less than two weeks away, Barber is on a tour of the Tar Heel state in an effort to energize the African-American vote.
Barber said Thursday's stop in Kinston was "quite significant," especially since the organization has been fighting Nix v. Holder (formerly LaRoque v. Holder), a local lawsuit to have Section 5 of the 1965 Voting Rights Act declared unconstitutional.
"Anyone today who tries to overturn the Voting Rights Act is trying to step backwards in history," Barber said. "It is an ugly past to go backwards to. … When folks mess with the vote, they are messing with the heart of democracy."
St. Augustus was packed Thursday morning with a cross-section of members from churches throughout Lenoir, Greene and Jones counties.
"Rev. Barber is a smart guy and he's always very interesting to listen to," said Dr. Rev. Julian Pridgen of St. Augustus. "I think, for the most part, he speaks for a majority of the community."
Courtney Patterson, the fourth vice president of the N.C. NAACP and a Lenoir County native, addressed the gathering before Barber started his press conference.
"Those pieces (Barber) talked about, our economic conditions, having a good education, are important," Patterson said after the presser. "We are very united in what we see as a need and hopefully, that will come out after this election."
Barber said the NAACP has registered 500,000 new voters in the U.S., including thousands of new voters in North Carolina.
"We are seeing through our efforts all over the state thousands of people pushing out to early voting," Barber said. "We're having a higher early voter turnout than even in 2008."
He said 68 percent of the 1.5 million African-Americans in North Carolina voted in the historic 2008 election that saw the nation's first black president elected.
"That was the highest turnout in decades," Barber said. "We're calling for a number of 70 to 80 percent to turn out; we always want 100 percent, but we're saying to the 32 percent who didn't turn out in 2008, 'You need to vote because your vote matters.' "
Barber said it's "almost racist" to suggest the 2008 election was an anomaly, as some have done.
"That's kind of racist to suggest that when the electorate is more diverse than ever before, it 'wasn't fair' or 'something was wrong' because you can't handle the results," Barber said. "The reality is nobody cheated. God fixed it so that the hands that once picked cotton can now pick presidents."
Barber said some in the media have suggested that enthusiasm about this year's elections in the African-American community is low.
When he asked the crowd at the church if that was true, they responded with a resounding, "No!"
"Our theme coming out of our national convention is, 'This is our vote,' " Barber said. "Nobody gave us the right to vote; the right to vote was fought for, bled for, died for and cried for. We don't intend — on our watch and in our moment in history — to let anything impact that right to vote."
Many in the St. Augustus crowd held placards that read, "If we ever needed to vote, we sure do need to vote now."
Some wore T-shirts with the same message, including Sherba Allen, the second vice president of the Greene County chapter of the NAACP. She said she was excited about this year's elections, especially in her home county.
"I would like to let everyone in Greene County know that we are voting and our vote is going to count," Allen said.
Suppression of black voting rights have hurt the community, Barber said, who noted there were more African-Americans in the state house from 1868-98 than there are today.
"In the 1900s, through violence and rioting, black voting went down to virtually zero throughout the South and throughout the state," Barber said. "It wasn't until the Voting Rights Act of 1965 that protected the right to vote for African-Americans legally that we began to see a renewal of black political power.
"… It wasn't until 1990 … that the first African-American again walked the halls of the United States Congress. We know this history. That is why the NAACP will fight, under any guise, under any camouflage, under any trick, under any scheme, any attempt to stop, stifle, slow down, discourage, distract or deter the power and the potential of the African-American vote."
He said the current Voter ID movement is an attempt to stifle the black vote.
"We know that Voter ID is nothing more than a 21st century poll tax," Barber said. "That's why we stood against it, that's why we won, that's why we beat it back, that's why we don't have it in North Carolina and that's why, if we ever needed to vote, we sure do need to vote now."
Barber said there have been "deceptive" handouts claiming to be supported by the N.C. NAACP being distributed in black communities throughout the state. He noted the NAACP is a nonpartisan organization that doesn't tell its membership for whom to vote.
"Our people at the polls will challenge these deceptive (handouts)," Barber said. "We don't want this kind of misinformation in our community."
He said there are also deceptive efforts to tell black voters they need ID to vote, among other efforts to stifle African-Americans at the polls.
"We will not stand for any form of misinformation or intimidation," Barber said. "We are going to stand against deceptive ballots, deliberate intimidation and diabolical tricks."

The Cheetahs secured their first home win of the Vodacom Super 14 when they staged a late comeback to beat the Hurricanes 27-25 in Bloemfontein. Juan Smith's team had trailed 15-25 midway through the second half.
The match turned in the home side's favour when 'Canes centre Ma'a Nonu was sin-binned for a late tackle on Ronnie Cooke with 10 minutes remaining. TV replays suggested the linesman – who recommended the yellow card – had been far too harsh.
The Cheetahs booted the penalty into touch and set up a driving maul that went from the 'Canes 22m line to their tryline. In the end, it was No 8 Rayno van der Merwe who was credited with the pushover try that gave his side a 27-25 lead.
Australian George Ayoub – voted the second-worst Super 14 referee by his countrymen in a recent players' poll – awarded the Cheetahs three kickable penalties in the first seven minutes of the match, two of which were missed by flyhalf Meyer Bosman. The Free Staters also botched their first two line-outs, in what was a sign of things to come.
Cheetahs hooker Tiaan Liebenberg had an absolute shocker and was substituted for Ollie le Roux in the first half, while Lions-import Cobus Grobler played more like a poodle than a 'Varkhond'.
The Bloem Boys were reduced to 14 men on the 10-minute mark when fullback Bevin Fortuin high-tackled opposite number Shannon Paku and was sent to the sin bin. 'Canes flyhalf Jimmy Gopperth drew the teams level at 3-all with the resultant penalty.
The visitors scored their first try soon after when hooker Andrew Hore was driven over from a line-out inside the Cheetahs 22. However, the 'Canes lost captain Tana Umaga in the process, who hobbled off with a leg injury.
The Cheetahs struck back almost immediately when Gaffie du Toit reclaimed a kick ahead, Cooke broke through the 'Canes defence, and Os du Randt burrowed over for the five-pointer. Bosman converted to level the scores at 10-all.
Gopperth fluffed a penalty, before the Canes poached a fifth Cheetahs line-out (out of eight) and spread the ball wide to winger Lome Fa'atau, who threw a clever flick pass to Paku. Gopperth missed the conversion and the 'Canes led 15-10 after 28 minutes.
A second penalty from Gopperth extended the visitors lead to eight points, before the Cheetahs opted to run a kickable penalty after the half-time siren, only to lose possession.
The Cheetahs were fortunate not to concede a try early in the second half when Noel Oelshig's pass was intercepted by 'Canes No 9 Piri Weepu, who was hauled in just short of the tryline by Bosman.
When Ma'a Nonu scored the 'Canes third try for a commanding 15-point advantage, the Cheetahs looked a beaten side. However, they responded with a five-pointer from Fortuin, who brushed off a poor tackle from Paku. Bosman converted to make it 25-17, before Oelshig kicked a vital drop goal to reduce the gap to just five.
Then came Nonu's sin-binning and Van der Merwe's match winner, which put smiles on the faces of the loyal Free State fans.
Cheetahs – Tries: Os du Randt, Bevin Fortuin, Rayno van der Merwe. Conversions: Meyer Bosman (3). Penalty: Bosman. Drop goal: Noel Oelshig.
Hurricanes – Tries: Andrew Hore, Shannon Paku, Ma'a Nonu. Conversions: Jimmy Gopperth (2). Penalties: Gopperth (2).

You got mad Zbrush skills. Good job on the Brad Pitt one. The Will Smith one is good but needs some more tweaking to make him look more like Will Smith. The sea monster one is really good too but there seems to be a gap between your sculpting skills and your drawing skills. You might want to give that some more attention. Drawing from life is key.
Anyways dude, keep up the art work!

Hey man,
Diggin your value studies, keep it up. I'd suggest loosening up with your pencilwork though, it seems a bit forced. Let it flow.

Research News
EARSPosted Nov. 5, 2009
Kent State University has been awarded a training grant in the amount of $2,756,719 by the National Science Foundation under its Integrative Graduation Education and Research Training (IGERT) program. This is the first IGERT grant to be awarded to Kent State. The grant, which is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, runs through 2014.
The grant funds an IGERT project that focuses on environment aquatic resource sensing (EARS). The purpose of the program is to train doctoral students in environment sensing to learn how to protect and sense things in aquatic environments. The training provided by this project will prepare graduate students for a variety of future careers relevant to freshwater resources.
"The use of sensing technology allows us to monitor and understand what's going on in our environment," said Laura Leff, professor and assistant chair of Kent State's Biological Sciences department and principal investigator of the program. "Humans are dependent on freshwater resources, and there is not much freshwater on the Earth's surface. There are many diverse threats that can impact our aquatic systems, and technology, such as sensors, allows us to ask questions we couldn't ask before."
The EARS project is interdisciplinary and involves Kent State and Miami University. "We want students to collaborate across disciplines to get a real hands‐on experience and business experience in terms of technology transfer," Leff said. "The project provides a unique opportunity to bring together people in sciences, business and technology, serving as a catalyst of new partnerships to form not just between the sciences, but also with the colleges of business and technology."
A highly competitive program, Kent State was one of more than 400 pre‐proposals that got narrowed down to approximately 100 proposals. Of those, only 25 were funded.
"This grant brings a lot of prestige to the university since it's a highly competitive award, endorsing the quality of our students and our sciences," said James Blank, chair of Kent State's Biological Sciences department. "This is a highly coveted award that will help transform graduate programs."
Currently, three doctoral students from Kent State and three doctoral students from Miami University are participating in the EARS project. The students recently conducted a workshop at Lacawac Sanctuary in Pennsylvania where they tested sensors and collected data. They also will design an education outreach project that they will implement together, using what they are learning to educate students in local schools.
"We hope to stimulate interest in environmental science from school kids and the general public," Leff said.
"It is a real honor to join the ranks of other IGERT recipients and particularly to focus our efforts on issues related to our fresh water resources," said Dr. Timothy Moerland, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Kent State. "Through this program, Ph.D. candidates will build upon their knowledge of environmental science by designing sensors and sensor networks that can be used to analyze and manage data more effectively. These sensors will help detect potential pathogens and hazards in our water like never before. The EARS‐IGERT research conducted at Kent State University and with our partners at Miami University will feed directly into the goals and objectives of the Great Lakes Restoration Initiative, which was also recently signed into law by the federal government."
IGERT is an NSF‐wide program intended to meet the challenges of educating U.S. doctoral scientists and engineers with the interdisciplinary background, deep knowledge in a chosen discipline and the technical, professional and personal skills needed for the career demands of the future. The IGERT program is intended to catalyze a cultural change in graduate education by establishing innovative new models for graduate education and training in a fertile environment for collaborative research that transcends traditional disciplinary boundaries.

Archbishop Murphy baseball wins 2A district title
Wildcats get more strong pitching performances, jump on Sedro-Woolley miscues for 9-1 win
Both were integral in getting the Wildcats to the game.
Mahlum started the game, giving up just two hits and a run over six innings, and Clouse closed it out as the Wildcats beat the Cubs 9-1 in the 2A District 1/2 Tournament championship game at Volunteer Park on Saturday.
"We just kind of expect it out of each other," said Clouse of he and Mahlum. "We're both good pitchers and we both have our strengths, but Derrick definitely showed why he's one of the best pitchers in the state. I think if we just keep going out throwing good games we'll have a chance (to win state)."
Archbishop Murphy, the defending 2A state champs, had already advanced to state before Saturday's game but the win guaranteed the Wildcats the No. 1 seed in regionals and a game in Bellingham. The Wildcats face White River at Joe Martin Stadium on May 18 at 1 p.m.
Mahlum had good stuff again Saturday, shutting down a hot Sedro-Woolley offense that had led the upstart Cubs, winners of 10 of 11, to an upset of favorite Lynden in the semifinals and into the district title game. It was a performance that came just a week after throwing a three-hit complete-game win over Bellingham in the first round of the tournament.
"Derrick is one of the best pitchers in the state so whenever a team has to go against one of the best it's going to be a different game," said Archbishop Murphy head coach Stan Taloff.
Besides getting the final three outs of Saturday's win, Clouse limited Sehome to just two runs and struck out eight in a complete-game victory in the semifinals on Tuesday. He also did major damage at the plate, breaking open the game with a bases-clearing double in a five-run second inning that broke open the game. He also led off the fifth with a double that sparked another three run outburst.
"Zander is just doing a great job in that fourth spot because that's pressure position to be in and he's staying on top of the ball at the plate," Taloff said. "He's as hot as any hitter we've ever had."
Archbishop Murphy jumped on the Cubs early. Wildcats shortstop Trever Morrison led off the game with a single to right field and the Oregon State commit promptly stole second. After a text-book sacrifice bunt by Casey Dawes moved him over to third, Morrison scored the game's first run when catcher Alex Galgano rapped a single over the shortstop's head.
"I think that's always key," Taloff said of scoring the first run. "Once you take the pressure off knowing you have a good guy going to the mound and give him a lead he ends up pitching better and that gives the offense confidence."
In the second, Murphy took advantage of a few Sedro-Woolley's miscues to break the game open. Cubs starter Collin Hannan hit two batters and an error loaded the bases for Clouse, who crushed a double to right field to clear the bases.
At Volunteer Park
Sedro-Woolley 000 100 0--1 3 4
Archbishop Murphy 150 030 x--9 7 0
Collin Hannan, Joe Hayes (5), Mason Swenson (6) and Jackson Conn. Derrick Mahlum, Zander Clouse (7) and Alex Galgano. 2B--Clouse (AM) 2, Zack Malmberg (SW). Records--Sedro-Woolley 14-9 overall. Archbishop Murphy 21-2.

12 Ways To Honor 9/11
September 11, 2001 will always be a tragic day in American history, but in the years since the attacks, it has become a day to honor the victims and survivors by doing good. We've proven as a country, that good things can come after disaster. It's been 12 years since that tragic September day, so here are 12 ways we can honor the victims of 9/11:
1. Volunteer
One of the biggest ways you can honor those whose lives where lost on that tragic day, is to serve your fellow man. Go out of your way and look for ways in which you can serve. Volunteer at your local soup kitchen. Read a patriotic book to children at the library. Help out in your son or daughter's first grade class. The possibilities are endless and are only limited by your imagination. Volunteer to serve! Even the smallest act of service is a way to honor those we lost on 9/11. Pledge to perform a good deed at
2. Attend A Memorial
New York, Washington, DC and Shanksville, Pennsylvania all have memorials that allow the public to reflect on the events of September 11th, and pay tribute to the many lives which were lost. If you are going to be far from these memorials, there is a very good chance there is a commemoration of some kind in your vicinity. A quick Google search should lead you to an event in your area.
3. Write A List Of Things In Which You're Thankful
This Patriot day, give thanks and show gratitude! One of the easiest ways you can do this is to write a list of all the things you are thankful for. Be thankful that you live in the greatest country in the world; and be thankful for all the people around you. Be thankful for the blessings you have in your life, and remember that many of these blessing would not be afforded to you if it wasn't for the sacrifices of so many.
4. Donate Blood
After the September 11th attacks, the blood supply at the Red Cross was at an all time high. So many Americans waited in long lines to donate. Today, however, the Red Cross' national blood supply has reached a 15 year low. This Patriot Day, going to your local blood bank and donating is among the most important contributions you can make to your community.
5. Thank A Serviceman Or Servicewoman
Taking some time to thank your firefighters and police officers speaks volumes, as they were some of the first responders that tragic September day. Many of the 3,000 lives that were lost that day were in fact firefighters and police officers. These men and women acted as heroes; and still do today. Say thank you. Give them a wave and a smile. Drop some cookies off at the fire station. Whatever… Just say thanks!
6. Take A CPR Class
I'm not at all trying to compare any act that you and I could ever do, to the acts of those brave men and women who lost their lives trying to save the victims of the terrorist attacks. What I am saying, is that if and when any sort a tragedy strikes, prepare yourself to save the life of someone else. Learn CPR. Along the same lines as donating blood, learning CPR is a very important contribution that you can offer to your community.
7. Fly The Flag
Honor those who lost their lives on September 11th by flying Old Glory! It's American. It's patriotic. It shows love and support for your country. Don't have a flag pole? Change your profile picture on Facebook to that of an American flag.
8. Write A Thank You Letter To The Troops
This Patriot Day write a letter to our troops, basically thanking our soldiers for answering the call to duty… Just like the first responders did on 9/11. It is very uplifting for the soldiers to hear stories about people back in the US that are going out of their way to support them; both at home and while they are forward deployed. Your contribution to the health and welfare of those who serve our nation, and their families, is a special gift indeed. Men and women overseas take comfort in knowing people like you are thinking about them. The support and patriotism of simply writing a letter has helped strengthen the resolve of this country, strengthen the resolve of our soldiers. It's the people writing letters that keep our troops motivated and proud to serve our country. Learn more about writing letters to the troops at:
9. Plant A Tree
I know that planting a tree might seem cliché, but doing so is a traditional way to celebrate life…Something that should be done to remember lives lost. Not up to planting a tree, tie yellow ribbons around the trees in your neighborhood. For more information on the plant a tree movement, check out:
10. Tell Your Loved Ones How Much They Are Loved
We all know that we need to tell those who are precious to us that we love them more often; why not today. September 11th is one of those days where emotions run high; and tender moments are felt. Share these feelings and moments with loved ones. Hug your kids tight. Call your mom.
11. Celebrate The Little Moments
This September 11th, slow down. Appreciate all that is around you. Pay close attention to the little things; like your young daughter tying her shoe, your son laughing at his cartoons, and your spouse slurping their breakfast cereal. These little moments are precious, and may not exist if it weren't for the sacrifices of so many.
12. Reflect
Twelve years since the attacks on our Country, we all still remember that tragic September day. Most of us remember exactly where we were and what we were doing when we heard the horrible news. I was waiting in line at a bank drive thru, on my way to my freshman chemistry class, when I turned on the radio and was shocked to hear two planes had crashed into each of the World Trade Center buildings; and additional planes had crashed into a Pennsylvania field and the Pentagon building respectively. Many of us can still close our eyes, and remember in almost near perfect detail, those painful moments when grief somberly crashed over us like a tidal wave. Americans the world over held each other tight, seeking the assurance that the country we knew and loved wasn't collapsing under our feet. Our memories will always be fresh, along with our sympathy for the victims and their families. Take some time to remember and reflect on the events of that day; and the people and first responders whose lives were lost.
We Will Never Forget
For all of us here at
Bulwark Pest Control
, we will never forget those innocent people, whose lives were lost September 11th 2001. We are grateful for the opportunities afforded to us in this country, and are grateful to those who continue to defend it against any further acts of terror.

Aleh Kalman, 19, of Sacramento, was hiking the Mist Trail with a church group when he went for a swim in the Merced River, about 150 feet upstream from the falls, National Park Service officials said.
The strong current pulled Kalman over the 594 foot waterfall, a drop park officials said "is not survivable."
Park search and rescue scoured the river from the ground and air over the weekend, hoping to find Kalman. Search teams were not dispatched Monday, park ranger Kari Cobb told NBC.
"The Merced River is very strong, even in places where it appears calm," Cobb said. "But under the surface, it can be extremely powerful."

Recently got the Taylor Made R11 TP, 10.5*. I have an after market Miyazaki Kusala (Blue) X Flex shaft in it. It goes dead straigt (set on square, with weights in neutral position. I averaged about 300 GPS confirmed off the tee. I hit 10/14 fairways with this puppy, and from the whites I had pretty much a pitching wedge or less to every green...if I didn't drive it. I drove 3 greens my first round out (295, 315, 300). This driver does not baloon, but goes and goes for ever. I just swithched from a Callaway FT-IQ Tour, with the NV-65 Stiff Shaft. It was great, but this one is about 15-20 yards longer, and in the short grass. I am a 9 handicap...but that is about to change with this driver. Thanks Taylor Made.
Just got my new R11 TP 9*, and must say has an immediate improvement. Played it one time and can honestly say it is the best driver yet. Ive played with TM for the past three years and have always loved the way they hit, and it only gets better everytime they come out with something new. Well worth the wait. This driver really bombs the ball. Thanks again TM. Roughly a 30 yd. improvement on average over previous driver. TM R7
Great club! In better condition than advertised.

Great Experience!
I cant explain how helpful and amazing the customer service was. They responded within the same day to any questions i had. All my design request were met which was such a relief! The only thing wrong with my order was the color of the envelopes but they qyickly sent out another order of envelopes at no cost. All in all, I LOVED WORKING WITH MAGNETSTREET!

The 92 meter complex has an undulating, white, curved facade and houses the national tax offices and the student loan administration. Designed to accommodate 2,500 workstations, the asymmetrical building features parking facilities for 1,500 bicycles and an underground parking garage for 675 cars. Situated in the woods, the site also shelters rare and protected species and eventually will be surrounded by a large public city garden with a pond and a multifunctional pavilion.
The design team, which also includes Lodewijk Baljon for the landscape design, Arup for the engineering and Studio Linse as the interior adviser, was tasked with creating a long term platform for sustainability that included reduced maintenance, energy efficiency, material resource conservation, long term flexibility, and reduced impact on its surroundings. The floor heights were reduced from 3.6 meters to 3.3 meters, bringing the total height of the building down by 7.5 meters, which lowers the building's profile and reduces construction materials.
A core feature of the building's energy efficiency strategy is the white-finned facade, which works to improve daylighting, provide solar shading and control wind. The horizontal fins also diffuse the sun's heat and reduce the need for cooling. A concrete core with underground long term storage also reduces the need for external energy sources. Natural ventilation and individual climate control for each work station helps maintain a healthy indoor environment. Finally, the building was designed for the future so that the flexible interior could be transformed into residences or so that the residual heat energy of the data center and offices could be used to heat nearby homes.
