Elitist "noobs"
I was reading the STF thread again, and made a comment, and was in effect called elitist for wanting people to have to work their way up to Elite stf access.
I have seen this alot whenever Elite STF's are mentioned you have a bunch of people rush out to say its wrong and elitist to force people to work their way up to a mission/task.
if thats true this whole game and every other MMO is elitist by its very nature, it forces you to work up your level to gain access to more missions and more/better gear, they all force you to learn as you go and prove yourself before you can move on(by earning experience), so by the definition these posters use the game itself by its very design is elitist....
Please let me ask how it would be elitist/elitism to ask that everybody for example win 15 normal STF's or 5 with optional before they could move to elite?
I say EVERYBODY even myself and others who prefer to do elites daily.
how is it wrong to ask that new players learn at least the basics before entering the top tier of pve play the game offers?
I was surprised I didnt have to do anything to do elites, i tried 1 and went "wow, i need to read up more and ask some questions" (got blown to h3ll and back that round....) so I did just that, and after reading and getting a nice person to walk me thru each map once, I was able to contribute every time AND not ruin the round for others by doing something colossally stupid...
many dont seem to catch the clue that they need to treat elite differently then normal and normal differently then a basic borg encouter(they dont read the optionals at all)
please somebody explain to me how its not elitist for these people to demand that they not have to do what other players have had to do to be successful in the game.
please somebody explain to me how its not elitist of these players to insist that others ideas to fix the situation are invalid/wrong and even elitist and evil because it would force everybody to do the same thing(again, i really think if the system was implemented it should be for everybody....not just "noobs")
Please, most of us just want a way to fix the problem thats pretty blatant if you do elite stf's, we dont want to penalize new players, we (enlarge at least) dont want to keep them out of stf's, we just want to find a way to filter at least most of the people who are not ready to do elites yet(and may never be) out, not to punish them, because lets be honest, for most people being a useless lump thats the brunt of angery pm/team chats isnt really fun for normal people(greifers are a dif story....but I really dont think there are many of them in this case, I really think its just people who arent ready for elite and need seasoning before they "run with the big dogs" as it where.
we where all there once, some of us just pick things up and learn faster then others...dosnt mean we cant all get there in the end and have a blast both along the way and when we get there.

There is always the dingaling that wants to wander off and spawn the cubes on elite in his own....then dies and they wander towards the grp and he also ignores the prbes........not really sure which viable strat that is......
peeps will be angry because they feel they are entitled to do whatver and however they want....to some extent maybe so. But to ruin for others is not fair...lets call a spade a spade......their collective inexperience ruin it for others and we hide it in the guise of..they have a right to be there which can ruin it for others.
Lets look at it from the other side of the coin.....When you load up for an elite stf you rightfully expect the players to be competant...is it fair to ruin the game for those who are because the other player has a right to be there and is answering the call of the GREED because more powerful loot can drop.
i , for one, am tired of those who claim they have a right to be there, and in doing so ruin it for everyone else.
We all know to whom this applies......so no need to get defensive the rest of you all......the ones who are able to do easy mode and try elite only to get a beat down...I am more speaking of the morons who clutter the elite stf's with dumb and inexperienced nonsense.....
What you need in an elite stf
1. communication i.e. we all know what to do yes or no? pls answer......pls talk in chat
2. Know your role and play it with some level of competancy. That also means have the gear set up right and be ready to go.
3. More communication.....GUYS!! I need help...too many probes or I lagged (hehe yeah right)
4. Perhaps optionally read the forums and know what is different about this stf on elite as compared to easy.
5. Cooperation...
6. This applies to those who are vets to elite stfs.......be a little forgiving........stop with the insults. I am so tired of folks being rude and foul mouthed because the stf goes sour. Unless of course it is obvious and blatant...then tear em a new hole.....
As a side note I have been in so many stf's and sometimes it is amusing to watch a grp trying to kill a cube in elite that takes 25 mins or Donatra that takes 15 mins......something is not being done right....

The thing that so many people are missing is quite simple.
Elite is for the Elite. Yes it is Elitist, that's why it's called Elite. Why ever try to argue that?
I'm sick of going into Elite STFs and getting bundled with inexperienced players who "did ok" in normal STFs and think that qualifies them to try for Elite.
I'm sorry, but no. Just because you "did ok" in normal does not, by any means, make you ready for Elite. At the very least you must have a build that is able to Survive all the normal STFs without being killed to even think of trying Elite.
On top of that, tactics on Elite are very different than on Normal. What most people do on Normal simply doesn't work on Elite (Cure Space as a prime example), so you should also be thinking of reading up on the forums and learning the tactics that do work.
Since the F2P horde began reaching max level, I'm no longer seeing the point of trying to solo queue STFs anymore. I do them all with fleet teams now, teams I can trust.

To be fair, when I respond in that thread, in the camp that would probably describe you as elitist, I kind of already got side-tracked by the vitriol about 'noobs' being spewed by the supporters in your camp. And my experiences with people responding less than gracefully when there turns out to be someone clueless on the team, after they mess things up...
In and of itself it's not unreasonable to say people should do each STF a few times before its elite variant unlocks. That won't stop people from flying into Elites on ships plastered in green and blue mk X equipment, though. Which will then be the next point of order in the thread in question. One suggestion I saw was requiring people to already own either the Omega Force, M.A.C.O. or Honor Guard set before being allowed into elite STFs. That's more than a few times, and it means people are pretty much kitted out already. (A lot of people will get their third set item, shout "Done!" and never run an STF again.) And then there's still the issue that the tactics that work in normal STFs don't work in the elite ones. So it's not actually training anyone.
Add to that the misbehaviour I see from 'veterans' in STFs when all too often things don't go completely according to their wishes, and that there is already an option for people to put together their own teams, and I'm not in much of a state of mind to try to reason with people who come in raging and try to find some common ground.
Bottom line, there is no way to enforce automatically, through the gameclient, things like people communicating, having read or watched tutorials, cooperating, knowing their role, etc... It just can't. It never will. You can impose all kinds of draconian measures and lock out people who would do okay, and still let in idiots who rode the coattails of others long enough to meet the gear and 'experience' requirements. The only way to put together a good team is to do it yourself. If you want to just play a quick match, and you select the random option, then there's risks attached, and you just have to live with those.

I personally think someone just needs to actually win a normal at least once to unlock the elite version of it. at least then they know the steps. As for the optionals...there optional so i dont think they need to be done to make it to elite. I know the frustration when it comes to people doing the elite missions. Personally myself I dont do elite yet cus I lack good gear to be much use.

Doing normals isn't really going to train you up for doing elites, tactics can be completely different and often you don't have the fire-power to plough through them like normals and can easily fail.
Just give up and don't bother doing elites unless you're prepared to be disappointed, I know for a fact I'll end up with one or two people with lvl 8 green equipment hoping for you to carry them through.. now with f2p, even more so... Deal with it, it's normal to any game without any prerequisites for doing hard modes.
My advice, don't pug unless you can laugh it off when you epically fail, also please direct those without a clue to the website with the elite tactics and methodology.

I would like to see tiers for STF's look like this
Newb, normal, elite...
To progress from one tiers to the next you need to accomplish a certain set of tasks.

how about this
current normal becomes easy, create normal and advanced teirs (shouldnt be to hard) each teir unlocked by for example 15 wins or 5 with optionals, this is per account, that way people can ease their way into higher level play.
they could also make it so you get drop items to buy X gear in easy, xgear drops in normal with low chance of an XI drop, advance gives you high chance of XI and very low chance of XII, and all of them have EDC's BUT as you move up, optional gets you more EDC's per teir.
Easy w/o optional: 1 edc 440 dilith
Easy with optional: 1:5 chance at 2edc and a random roll chance that people can need/greed on salvage(blue) 880dilith
Normal w/o: 1 edc 440dilith
Normal with: 2 edc and a 1:5 chance at a 3rd and random chance roll for need/greed on salvage(blue) and/or possible borg tech drop to roll on 880dilith
Advanced w/o: 1 edc 440dilith
Advanced With: 3 EDC and a 2:5 chance of another EDC(need/greed roll), low chance of proto type salvage or borg tech, higher chance of blue borg tech drop in addition to the edc(possibly also have a blue salvage tag along with the borg tech drop for need/greed randomly) 1100dilith
Elite w/o: 2 edc 1100 dilith
Elite with: 3 edc and a 2:5 chance at 2nd chip, also prototype borg salvage and/or prototype tech should drop. and be rolled on 1440 dilith
another good thing would be a "most valuable" bonus for up to 3 people make it a random salvage/tech drop(just an idea)
thats not all about dps, if your healing/debuffing alot your helping.
another idea/thought some of us have had is if they also added an optional to the optional, if you can get the optional done in XX time(well below the rated time) a bonus would be good, and could even be an incentive for people to drop a teir or 2 and train people, more dliltium or higher chance of a tech drop or salvage...that kinda thing.
again I am very much NOT anti-noob, Im very much anti Idiot.
also I dont agree that you MUST be in mk XI or X prpl gear, I have seen people run who where in white X gear that held their own(weapon wise) by the time you can do stf's you should have your breen gear, and thats a decent starter set.
the idea that you need a full omega/maco set to do stf's is idiotic, i do better in my breen set then full omega or maco....(thats sad i would expect with how hard a full set is to get it would blow away even the borg gear)
best combo I have found is the borg console+deflector+engine+ maco or omega shield, (yes i have full mkX on maco and omega...infact im close to recycling them as the borg gear is better for my uses...and my mk xii maco and omega shields are plenty shield wise....
just a thought but if they did the above, it would actually make people getting full sets of maco/omega easier and would entice people to do lower level stuff longer even after they unlock the next teir, because they would have a higher chance at a full set with set bonus.
well time for some lunch....

Investors look past Greece worries to retail sales
NEW YORK The stock market recovered from an early slide Thursday after an increase in retail sales overshadowed concerns about Greece's debt problems and the job market.
The Dow Jones industrial average finished with a gain of 30 points after being down 53 and falling the prior two days. Broader indexes also rose.
The market turned higher around midday after sales gains at the nation's major retailers raised expectations for the economy as well as the corporate earnings reports that start to arrive next week.
Improved weather and an early Easter lifted sales at stores open at least a year by 9 percent in March, based on results from 31 retailers compiled by the International Council of Shopping Centers.
The stock market began the day lower following drops overseas. Greece's borrowing costs rose to a record level Thursday, signaling that a rescue plan from other European countries and the International Monetary Fund might not be enough to prevent a default.
Investors are concerned that losses on Greek debt would further undermine the euro and trip up a rebound in the global economy. The country's budget deficit has been one of the few drags on stock markets around the world so far in 2010.
A disappointing report on initial jobless claims added to the downbeat mood early in the day. The Labor Department said initial claims for jobless benefits rose unexpectedly last week, jumping 18,000 to a seasonally adjusted 460,000. Economists polled by Thomson Reuters had forecast a drop.
Last week, the government said that employers added 162,000 jobs in March, the most in three years.
The market has been shifting directions this week after two months of nearly unbroken gains. The Standard & Poor's 500 index reached an 18-month high on Tuesday after rising 12.6 percent since early February. Analysts said the advance was big enough that a pause shouldn't alarm investors.
Tim Speiss, chairman of the personal wealth advisors practice at Eisner LLP in New York, said the interest among some buyers in pouncing on drops in the market is likely to continue.
"I don't believe at all that we're going to have any kind of correction," he said. A correction refers to a drop of at least 10 percent from a peak. There have been five drops of 5 to 8 percent since major stock indexes hit 12-year lows 13 months ago but none have topped 10 percent.
The Dow rose 29.55, or 0.3 percent, to 10,927.07, the exact level where it closed a week earlier. The S&P 500 index rose 3.99, or 0.3 percent, to 1,186.44, while the Nasdaq composite index rose 5.65, or 0.2 percent, to 2,436.81.
Advancing stocks narrowly outpaced those that fell on the New York Stock Exchange, where consolidated volume came to 4.8 billion shares, compared with 4.4 billion Wednesday.
Stocks retreated this week after the Dow flirted with 11,000 on Monday and Tuesday for the first time in 18 months.
Bond prices were little changed Thursday. The yield on the benchmark 10-year Treasury note rose to 3.89 percent from 3.87 percent late Wednesday.

Modern Mobiles by Marco Mahler
There's a special place in my heart for mobiles. I think they add such interest to a room. These modern versions by Marco Mahler are stunning. Mobile 74 is for sure my favorite and would look great in a minimalist nursery.
It seems like we typically think of them for baby spaces — over the changing table or crib, where the baby will be spending a lot of time on his back, looking up. But I think these are sophisticated enough they would look equally wonderful in the living room, or really, any other room in the house.
P.S. — Use the code "DesignMom" and you can get 10% off. Yay!

Rep Power:
Lin and Larry Pardey have their third edition of Capable Cruiser published in 2010. They have a chapter "The Question of Cruising and Kids". This is an upbeat chapter and is a description of various families with children with practical suggestions thrown in where appropriate. I will mention a few items from the chapter that might influence the choice of boats and cruising. "Boat size didn't affect the kids we met". "The very young cruising children we've met not only seem to thrive on board but also provide an instant attraction wherever they go…The relative healthiness of cruising children is amazing…safety is a far bigger worry with children afloat…only heard of this one drowning of a child…many young parents insist…children wear flotation vests constantly, morning to night…Once she could swim, we had to take our chances and teach her to be careful…Couples who have a child under three on board usually find that the husband has to sail as a singlehander while the wife works full time as mother and safety officer". After age 14 children may want to start planning their own life. Parents who wish to enjoy sailing with children need a separate private space for each kid no matter how small. A dinghy for kids is recommended, especially one with sails. The book goes on about all the positive experiences of sailing with children. The book also has sections on boat selection, design, cost, insurance, medical, gear, safety, sails, tenders, outfitting, canvas care, steering failure, repairs at sea, safety aloft, keeping your lover, first time voyagers, communication, writing, photos, engine quitting, various problems sailing and anchoring.

Cory Monteith's ashes will be spread across three cities — Los Angeles, Vancouver and Victoria — each, holding a special significance to the late actor, according to his cousin, Richard Monteith.
"I think Cory's mom wants to spread some of the ashes in the different places he loved," Richard told In Touch Weekly. "I think she wanted to cremate him so they could spread his ashes in LA, Vancouver, and Victoria and keep a little bit for the family."
The talented singer spent extensive time in both of the British Columbia cities growing up, and found fame in LaLa Land as a member of Glee.
As we previously reported, Monteith, who played the role of Finn Hudson on the Fox hit, was found dead at 31 July 13 in a room at Vancouver, British Columbia's Fairmont Pacific Rim Hotel. The British Columbia coroner's office subsequently confirmed the embattled actor's life ended as result of a toxic mix of of heroin and alcohol.

be bonded with your Cal 25.
I hope you'll keep us in the loop as your fix progresses!
Thanks but I think I must of already been bonded with my boat. I guess the bonding must of happened within the first 2 days
It sure is weird because normally yes I would be mad but with this try mad x10
Yeah I got some really good advice thats for sure. From what I am seeing, it seems if I can just get the mast down (which I am going to try) I might can fix it for a couple hundred dollars. I actually do have the spreader that came off. Just both end peices are gone, the mounting piece and the rubber fitting that the shroud fits in, but its just old and shot, probably needed to be replaced anyway. West Marine has a lot of this stuff. Not sure about the rubrail but I think they had those too. I just have to get the darn mast down. I even thought about renting a lift truck (actually was pretty reasonably priced) and just working on the mast like that. This way I would not even have to take it down. I am going to put it in a marina where it is at, I am cancelling the southshore deal. I don't have a choice because it can't be sailed or even motored with the mast as it is now. If that aft shroud breaks, and its weak too, that mast is going to come crashing down. I am also wondering if I have a small leak in the front of the keel. I had some water collect there but its probably from a deck leak elsewhere, had some rain that day. It had a couple minor deck leaks the seller had told me about. I bilged the water out and mopped it all up. So now if it don't rain in a few days and it has water down there when I go back, it must have a very slow leak and I will have to fix it.

In another sign of the tough economic times, Embraer has more than 10 Phenom 100 very light jets sitting at the factory waiting for delivery as European air taxi start-up JetBird and US charter operator JetSuite struggle to secure financing.
The manufacturer was expecting to deliver 35-40 Phenom 100s in the third quarter, but delivered only 22 aircraft. Chief executive Fred Curado says Embraer has not encountered any problems ramping up production, but "commercial issues" have prevented it from meeting its delivery targets.
Embraer executive vice-president for executive aviation Luis Carlos Affonso says two of Embraer's largest Phenom 100 customers, JetBird and JetSuite, account for a majority of the "shortfall".
JetBird, which has been planning to launch operations across Europe in September but has not yet taken delivery of any aircraft, has 59 Phenom 100s on order. "I believe they are very close to taking delivery of airplanes," Affonso told Flight Evening News.
JetSuite launched charter operations in May using one leased Phenom 100. At the end of September it took its second aircraft and the first from its 60-aircraft order. JetSuite chief executive Alex Wilcox acknowledges it is behind in deliveries due to various reasons including "financing realities" but plans to catch up by year-end with five or six Phenom 100s to be delivered in the current quarter.
Affonso and Curado are confident Embraer will be able to catch up on Phenom 100 deliveries this quarter. Curado says Embraer's earlier target of delivering 110 Phenom 100s this year "is still doable" although this will require 65 fourth quarter deliveries.
He says Embraer is on track from a production standpoint. He says the 100th production Phenom 100 is already on the assembly line.
Affonso adds that if JetBird and JetSuite are able to close on financing both will be able to take several aircraft in quick succession.
Given the current backlog, the next available slot for a Phenom 100 or 300 is technically 2013, but Affonso acknowledges Embraer has 2010 slots available for both types. He says Embraer is still on track to certificate and deliver the first batch of Phenom 300s at the end of this year.

Last week, a group of 31 Republican House Members reportedly submitted a letter to the DOJ and FDIC accusing the agencies of "intimidating some community banks and third party payment processors with threats of heightened regulatory scrutiny unless they cease doing business with online lenders." According to reports, the letter argues that the government's actions effectively cut off access to lawful, short-term, high-interest loans available online. Several prominent online lenders have reportedly ceased their lending operations in response to similar pressure from state regulators.

Jamaica sprints far ahead of wide world at Olympics.
BEIJING - Wearing skin-tight suits, they're accomplishing superhuman feats, and some are now wondering if Usain Bolt and his friends should add capes. Yes, the people back home want to know if their sprinters can fight crime.
Not the way you're thinking. Jamaican government officials want to use Bolt, Veronica Campbell-Brown and the rest of the speedsters as role models, not superheroes. They hope kids will decide the athletes are worthy of emulating, rather than the brutal pop culture that pervades the small island nation.
But if you were thinking cartoon blurs in green and yellow, no one here would laugh.
The Olympics end today. China will win the gold medal count, and the United States will win the most overall - though in track, Team USA's showing has been disappointing. But the Jamaicans might have won the most acclaim.
Led by Bolt, whose out-of-this-world records defy description - in keeping with our theme, Michael Johnson called him Superman 2 - they've made Jamaica the sprinting capital of the world.
They'll haul home six gold medals and four world records, all in the sprints.
Bolt won the 100 and 200 meters, and he and his teammates in the 4 x 100. All were world records, because gold wasn't enough.
They swept the women's 100 meters. They took gold in the 200, and in the 400-meter hurdles.
"Jamaica did well at this Olympics," Bolt said after the 4 x 100. "We practically took it over."
No one is arguing. In events once dominated by the United States, the Jamaicans are so good, it's scary. It is probably a very good thing they do not care much about swimming, or Michael Phelps might have eight silver medals. Or bronze.
The baton has been passed (unlike the Americans, the Jamaicans are usually able to complete that task). And this is an amazing thing, if you look at the numbers.
The Carribbean island measures 4,243 square miles. It would fit neatly into Lane County (4,722 square miles), and its population is only a little larger than metropolitan Portland's. Yet the Jamaicans have sprinted away from a nation 100 times more populated.
Earlier this week, someone asked Shelly-Ann Fraser, who won gold in the women's 100 meters, their secret, and she replied: "Reggae power." I don't know about that, but if you visit the Web site of the Jamaican Amateur Athletic Association, you'll hear a song with these lyrics:
We've been running ever since we came here, many years ago. Now the whole world wanna know how we running so. They say there must be something in the air, down there in Jamaica, that Jamaicans run like the wind.
Right about now, some of you are thinking they're fueled by something else.
You should know that during the Olympics, the World Anti-Doping Association (WADA) apparently paid close attention to the Jamaicans, whose independent testing organization is fledgling, and might not be all that independent.
Several of the sprinters complained they were tested multiple times, and Dr. Herb Elliott, vice president of the Jamaican Track Federation, invited further testing anytime, anywhere.
So far, they've all come out clean. What's clear is America's sprinting dominance has ended, and this Jamaican surge feels similar to what happened 30 years ago with east African distance runners.
"All I can say is, `Yo, Jamaican sprinters, taking over the world,'e_SEnS" Bolt said.
Last Thursday, before the women's 200 meters, I sat two rows in front of Bert Cameron, the former Jamaican 400-meters runner. Bolt already had won the 100 and the 200, and the Jamaicans had swept the women's 100.
"I do not like this race," he said.
A moment later, Veronica Campbell-Brown won gold and Kerron Stewart, another Jamaican, grabbed bronze. Someone asked, "Do you like it better now?"
Cameron smiled, nodded: "Yes!"
And a conversation began about the nation's sprinting success.
"It's not like it's something that started yesterday," Cameron said, and he listed the long tradition. Don Quarrie, Herb McKenley, Lennox Miller.
More recently, Ben Johnson (Canada), Linford Christie (Great Britain) and Donovan Bailey (Canada), who won gold in 1988, '92 and '96, respectively, were from Jamaica.
Also a tradition, though, was the guys in green and yellow taking silver. That is, until the last few days.
"You ask if we expected this," Cameron said. "We expect more."
About that time, Bolt was awarded the gold medal for the 200 meters he'd won a night earlier, and they played the Jamaican national anthem.
"Everybody should know it by now," Cameron said.
By Saturday night, I knew more than the first few bars.

STI Statistics
STIs are increasing every year, with reports of more and more people seeking tests and treatment for these infections. Young people aged 15 to 24 tend to be the group in which sexually transmitted infections are most prevalent, especially bacterial infections like chlamydia.
Overall statistics indicate that STIs are more likely to affect people in deprived areas within large cities, although these infections are still a risk to anyone who is sexually active, regardless of age, gender or socioeconomic circumstances.
Chlamydia is still one of the most common STIs in the UK and it might be even more common than statistics suggest. This is due to its asymptomatic nature, meaning that people do not know they are infected, and so an exact figure of infected individuals is not calculable.
Over the last decade there has been a dramatic increase in the number of people diagnosed, from 60,000 people in 2000 to 160,000 people in 2010. Worryingly, this number is still increasing.
Gonorrhoea is also a common bacterial STI although it's not as prevalent as chlamydia. The number of people with the infection is increasing and there are worries that this could be due to the fact that the bacteria that causes the infection is becoming less responsive to conventional methods of treatment.
The infection tends to be more common in men, however this may be due to the fact that men are more likely to experience symptoms and therefore are more likely to be tested and receive treatment.
Genital herpes
Genital herpes is a viral infection that is becoming increasingly common. Experts believe this is due to the fact that young people are showing changes in their sexual behaviour. This has lead to an increase in oral sex and a decreased immunity to the HSV-1 virus, which is responsible for cold sores, although genital herpes is still most commonly caused by the HSV-2 virus.
Since the year 2000 there has been a steady increase in the number of people being diagnosed with this infection, from 70,000 in 2000 to 100,000 in 2010.
Genital warts
Genital warts are more common than people realise and the infection is one of the most widespread in the UK. Statistics have shown a significant increase in people over the age of 45 over the last decade. In 2009 the number of people diagnosed with genital warts showed a slight decrease, however numbers have since shown an increase.
Other STIs
Not many people are aware of bacterial vaginosis, but it is actually quite common and may occur alongside infections like chlamydia. Over the last decade, diagnosed cases of this infection have more than doubled.
Infections like mycoplasma genitalium, ureaplasma urealyticum, trichomonas vaginalis, syphilis and non-specific urethritis have all shown an increase since 2000, but syphilis in particular has recently becoming a matter of concern in the UK.

Hi all,
We are possibly moving to Portland in the near future. Our job would be located by the airport, so we are looking at the eastside to live and for schools. We are looking at the three Waldorf Schools in that area: Shining Star, Micha-el, and the Portland Waldorf School.
I have been scrutinizing their websites and have exchanged e-mails with the schools, but am looking for information on them from parents. I would love it if someone could compare them, but that might not be possible, so if you have first-hand knowledge of any of them, could you tell me what you love about them and also maybe what you think could be done better or what you don't love.
We will be able to get up there and see them in person prior to making a decision, but I would love as much information as I could get!
I saw a bit on older threads, but was hoping for some updated insight.
Thanks so much in advance!
Hi there! We moved here to Portland three years ago from Virginia just for our children to attend the Portland Waldorf school.We toured both Cedarwood and the Micha-el schools as well. I would love to help you out however I can. I don't really come on these boards that much anymore but please feel free to e-mail me at :[email protected] It is soamazing out here - much worth the move!!

28 November 2013 17:27 [Source: ICIS news]
LONDON (ICIS)--A lifting of sanctions on Iranian imports would not pose any threat to the European melamine market as volumes are unlikely to be significant, melamine sources said on Thursday.
The majority of market participants this week said if sanctions are lifted on Iranian imports, prices might come under downward pressure in the second quarter of 2014, but the impact is not likely to prove much of a game-changer.
"Although the Iranian material may arrive in Europe at competitive prices, the quantity - because of its [Iran's] capacity - will not be significant," a trader said, adding that it did not think Iranian imports would have a major impact on European prices.
"I think it'll only have a minor impact because they [Iran] send [material] to Turkey," a producer said. "Maybe there would be a few 100 tonnes a quarter more in the market, but I'm quite relaxed in that sense."
Players did not think there would be any Iranian melamine imports in Europe until the second quarter of 2014 at the earliest, and some said this was so far in the future that it was not easy to see where the market would be.
"So many things can change, especially on the supply side," the producer added.
A buyer, however, said prices could decrease: "They [Iranian producers] used to sell in Europe. If the European Union decides to lift the anti-dumping – and I don't see any shortage in Europe – we could see interesting prices."
"The Iranian plants are not that big so it will not be a big issue in the market," another trader said. "People are already checking opportunities to source from there, and they have customers in Turkey."
Melamine spot prices are at €1,190-1,220/tonne ($1,608-1,649/tonne) FD (free delivered) northwest Europe (NWE).
According to ICIS data, there are two melamine producers in Iran. Khorasan Petrochemical Co (KHPC) is based in Bojnurd and has a nameplate capacity of 20,000 tonnes/year.
Tabriz Petrochemical Co (TPC) is located in Orumiyeh, with an output of 3,000 tonnes/year.

Voters to head to polls

Explaining the somewhat-confusing judicial races
We just over a month away from mid-term elections which, around these part, include district circuit and chancery court judge races. Yes, that's what the vast majority of campaign signs around the community are about. For those a little confused about who they can vote for, Editor Don Whitten gets a bit of help from the circuit clerk's office. (September 27, 2010, Page 4A)

HoopsHype James Posey rumors
The Celtics are not interested in fan favorite James Posey, a key reserve for the 2008 title team who will soon turn 35 years old. Since leaving the Celtics, Posey has shot 38 percent from the field and 34 percent from the 3-point line and played in just 49 games last season for Indiana before being waived through the Pacers' amnesty clause. Boston Globe
The flavor of the day in Twitter speculation is James Posey, but keep an eye out for Nachbar, who could replace exactly what Shawne Williams brought to the team a year ago – a stretch 3-4 with the ability to knock down 3-point shots from the corner. SheridanHoops
A source close to James Posey said the Knicks have been in contact with the forward as recently as Monday. The source said Posey has been in talks with a number of teams and, as of Monday night, no deal had been struck. According to a report Monday from the Boston Globe, the Celtics are not interested in re-signing Posey, who was a key piece to their 2008 NBA championship team. Posey was amnestied by the Indiana Pacers and cleared waivers, so he is free to sign with any team. Other Knicks targets of interest may include Al Thornton and Bostjan Nachbar. ESPN.com
Howard Beck: By the way, I'm told Baron signed for the vet's minimum ($1.4 mil), not the room exception ($2.5 mil). So Knicks still in chase for Posey Twitter
The Celtics also may try to sign another swingman. One intriguing name is ex-Celtic James Posey, most recently with Indiana, who was waived via the league's amnesty clause. But he would have to accept the veteran's minimum to come to Boston, which could be a stumbling block. Boston Globe
Why was he amnestied by the Pacers? I've got friends there who say Posey can still play, but was caught up in numbers game on a young roster, behind Danny Granger. The Knicks will have competition here because the Celtics are very interested in bringing Posey back. Newsday
Ira Winderman: For what it's worth, James Posey has gone through amnesty waivers unclaimed and is now a free agent, per NBA executive. Twitter
The Pacers have released forward James Posey and his $7.5 million contract under the league's amnesty clause. Under the terms of the new collective bargaining agreement, teams are allowed to release one player on the roster. Indianapolis Star
Sam Amick: Indiana's James Posey ($7.6 million expiring) is set to be amnestied, and his agent is in talks with teams in case he clears the waiver wire Twitter
Gary Washburn: Agent Mark Bartelstein said E'Twaun Moore expected to practice today for first time and he will gauge #celtics interest in one James Posey Twitter
Adrian Wojnarowski: The Pacers have decided to amnesty James Posey and his $6.9 million contract, league sources tell Y! Sports. Twitter
Adrian Wojnarowski: Pacers are still mulling amnesty on James Posey and $6.9 million left on his expiring contract, league sources said. Twitter
The Indiana Pacers have told veteran swingman James Posey he does not have to report to training camp. "He's not going to be with us," coach Frank Vogel said. "We're going to make a decision what to do with James at a later date, but he's not going to be in camp." Indianapolis Star
"None of them are dying to go over there. They prefer for there to be an NBA season," Bartelstein said. "My message to the players (is) that we need to be aggressive in looking for things. We're not just going to be reckless and take a job we don't think is a good fit, but if there's a job we think is good, we have to think about doing it. We deal with this situation on a day-to-day basis and we'll see what happens." Bartelstein's agency represents Pacers Danny Granger, Paul George, Brandon Rush, Dahntay Jones and James Posey.
