If only they could be banned in the entire state.

What a totally ignorant comment. Please expose yourself to facts and reality before condemning an entire breed based on a few horrible humans not knowing how to train or socialize their dogs.
American Pit Bull Terriers score higher on temperament tests than most of the popular family dogs. More children are injured and killed annually by their own parents than by "pit bulls".
I would much rather see a ban on stupid, evil humans that harm their children and pets than I would on a breed of dog that is more loving and loyal than any other breed.

each town should keep the right to make it's own rules concerning any breed or any animal…. some might want to have chickens and the next town down the road does not. so I'm not in favor of a state wide ban. Some towns might just want only spay and neuter and maybe chipping. Others might want specific kenneling regulations. Some might mandate insurance. Some might want immediate euthanization for infractions of the rules… others not. It has to be up to the towns.. AND that makes it easy to see what the results of the regulations actually are over those towns that have nothing.

While the regulation nation is at it, why not outlaw sports cars, kitchen knives, chainsaws, fatty foods, ladders, trees over 10 feet tall, ATVs…..
Just keep banning things instead of holding humans responsible.

BANNING Pit Bulls is not like any other thing. Pits are living things, unlike chainsaws (although both can do similar damage to the human body) they aren't ladders, which are often necessary for making repairs to housing, sometimes to repair the damages that Pit Bulls ahave done or to contain them.
Your argumentation is so bad and fallacious that the reaction of the intelligent would be SURELY YOU JEST!
Pit Bulls are not 'tools' unless you are 1) drug dealer, 2) robber/burglar/thief 3) domestic violence perp 4) gang member 5) practicing extortions and racketeering .
They do not herd nor guard livestock… in fact they are responsible for millions of dollars of damages to farmers, and ranchers' livestock. they do not track well. Their sense of smell is not as sharp as hounds so they are not SAR dogs… in fact they have killed two last year. They are NOT service dogs as they often turn on their owner and /or attack and maim/kill Guide DOgs or service dogs for handicapped. The idea that they would even be considered for 'therapy' (i.e. 'feel good') dogs is perhaps one of the worst proposals pushed by the Pit Gang. What happens when a child is reading or when the Pit 'goes Pit' on the veteran with PTSD? What sort of trauma is caused by that? As an educational psychologist, I cannot imagine a worse catastrophe in the life of a vulnerable adult or child….yet these callous pit apologists insist on pushing these dog to the public as such. BTW these 'therapy' dogs are NOT covered by ADA regulations so get over trying to bring them in to schools, libraries, stores, and restaurants. Pit Bulls do not make good sporting dogs. They would chew up the game instead of retrieving .
Pit Bulls are good for appearing to be loving slurpy ,butt wagging dogs that appeal to the uneducated and easily duped individual. They are best when they attack without warning or provocation. That IS what they were and continue to be bred for….. primarily by underground networks of felons…. teaching in correctional facilities opened my eyes to this reality. This hidden reality was briefly exposed in the Diane Whipple murder trial.
Pit Bulls are NOT a right… in fact your 'right' to choose this kind of dangerous dog ends at my right to not be mauled or killed. that 'first bite' is often the killing one.

Wapato, WA residents safer because of ban:
In 2008, the City of Wapato passed an ordinance that bans new pit bulls, rottweilers and mastiffs. Nine months after its adoption, in March 2009, Wapato Police Chief Richard Sanchez reported successful results:
"Nine months into the ban and police calls about vicious dogs have been cut in half. The Wapato Police tell Action News they've gone from 18 reports in January, February and March of last year to seven so far in '09. "Seven calls in three months… that's nothing," says Chief Richard Sanchez, Wapato Police Department.
Chief Sanchez credits local cooperation for the decline of dangerous dogs."

If you count the pit-mix mastiffs as pit bull types, that's 91% killed by attacking pit bull types. Pit types are only about 6% of the entire dog population.
The man who ran into traffic kept pit bulls himself. He knew perfectly well what the two stranger pit bulls that were chasing him would do if they caught him, so he preferred to risk a swift death by oncoming car.

My Legislation Proposal to be enacted by all states,
cities and counties in the US & Canada.
All dogs must be:
Or all dangerous dogs must be:
Or all dangerous molosser breeds, including pit bulls (American Staffordshire Terrier, Staffordshire bull terriers, American pit bull terriers, American Bulldog, Bull mastiffs, dogo argentinos, fila brasieros, presa canarios, Japanese Tosa, cane corsos and their mixes and any dog generally recognized as a pit bull or pit bull terrier and includes a dog of mixed breed with predominant pit bull or pit bull terrier characteristics), rottweilers, chow chows, Doberman pinschers, German shepherds, must be:
* Licensed
* All Pit bull type dogs Micro-chipped with any bite history in database for reference.
* Insured: All dogs must be covered by mandatory liability insurance of $100,000 min. generic and $500,000 after a skin breaking bite with insurance companies based on actuarial statistic's determining said rate.
* Spayed/neutered (except for limited approved show dog breeders)
* All breeds involved in any bite incident must be kenneled in a locked five-sided enclosure with concrete bottom.
For all other dog owners language can be written that enclosure such as fences must be capable of containing your dog period, such generic language puts the onus on the owner, have the fines be so onerous that said owner will ensure this they make this so.
1,000 the first time, double the second time and permanent confiscation the third time with a ban on said person from owning any dog within city limits, this will create an effective outcome directly or indirectly.
* All dogs must be on leashes outside of home enclosure
* All molosser breeds must also be muzzled outside of home enclosure
* No transport of declared dangerous dogs for the purpose of re-homing. (Dangerous dogs must be dealt with where their history is known.)
* All of the rules listed above also apply to rescues: rescued dogs must be licensed and subject to inspection.
$1,000 fine for noncompliance
Elimination of the one-bite rule in all of the 50 U.S. states
Manslaughter charges for owner of dog that kills a human
Felony charge for owner of dog that mauls human, dog, or other domestic animal.

A pit bull BSL works EVERYWHERE it is useful in almost eliminating all serious dog attacks that maim, disfigure, dismember, maul, cripple.
or kill, this is a simply proven fact in all cases.The number of pit bulls is dramatically reduced as are the numbers of them put to death.
The need to have BSL is to have a preemptive capability to avoid a pit bull attack from happening due to it's extremely savage consequences.
It is enacted against all pit bulls as they all have the genetic DNA propensity to carry out these horrific attacks that are non existent in 99% of all other breeds, ban the breed and you ban the deed, simple as that.
Dealing with an attack after the fact is simply not acceptable due to the horrific nature of said attacks.!
With any other breed other then Rottweiler's, wolf hybrids and Akita's and a few others in very small numbers it is not a naturally genetic reality for them to carry out such horrifying attacks.
Hence they need to be dealt with in an aggressive reactive modality where all of the breed are not looked on as one but rather based on the actions of the individual misbehaving dog.
This can be done in a very aggressive proactive manner so that as soon as a dog like a lab lets say starts behaving inappropriately severe consequences can be brought to bare on the owner and their dog in an escalating manner as needed to deal with a situation that has developed.
This duel track approach can deal with the pits issue as other normal dog breeds can be dealt with as well so vicious dogs of other mainstream breeds are also held accountable for their actions.
There should be mandatory Spay/Neuter programs for all breeds but clearly the one that needs it the most and where the most change would be effected would be with the Pit Bull type dog

Simply put, border collies do not herd sheep because they are raised on sheep farms; rather, they are raised on sheep farms because they herd. In addition pointers point, retrievers retrieve, and mastiffs guard, all because those traits are part of their breed expectations, meaning strong and continuous selection in the underlying breeding program "
Simply put Pit bulls do not attack because they are raised with dog fighters and drug dealers, dog fighters and drug dealers use pit bulls because they attack!
It is their nature, their genetic truth and reality.!!
It is not how you raise them rather it is simply what they are.!!
Just like sled dogs run and pull, it is just their nature.!
A pit bull type dog is what it is and does what it is.You can no more alter it genetic makeup then you can a collies to herd, a hounds to track, a retriever's to retrieve, a labs to swim, a pointers to point, a sled dog to run and pull.
They do what they are and a pit bull type dog is a mauling violent killer that has been bred to be a land shark, nothing you do can change that, even if you have them from birth.
No matter if you love them, or how you nurture, train, rehabilitate, raise them optimally as normal dogs from birth, you can not change their Genetic reality to Kill, Maul, Maim, Disfigure, Dismember, cause Life Flights or trips to the Intensive Care Unit.
For over 600 years the current pit bull type dog was brought into being through careful selective genetic breeding to create the most violent murderous fighting dog possible

The Myth:
Fighting breed advocates often erroneously claim that other breeds (Chihuahuas, Golden Retrievers, Labrador Retrievers, etc.) bite, and even kill, more often than fighting breeds.
The Reality:
The statistics vary depending on breed popularity in a particular area. However, Chicago IL, Las Vegas NV, and New York NY all verified that pit bulls were the #1 breed for reported bites in 2013.
We believe that the focus shouldn't be on the number of bites, but on the severity as well as the fatalities. Dog "bite" victims usually endure a brief attack lasting seconds, while dog "mauling" victims often endure lengthy attacks should they survive.
One of the longest dog attacks on record was in Cary, Illinois and involved 6 peopled being mauled for an hour and half total. Nationwide, pit bulls rank as the #1 breed whose attack is likely to result in the victim's death.
Unfortunately, many communities do not record the severity of reported bites. Both a single shallow puncture from a Chihuahua and a fatal mauling by a 100 lb. Cane Corso are officially reported as a "bite."
It is important to understand that fighting breeds have a completely different bite profiles than most other breeds. They are bred to bite down, clamp and shake, causing severe tissue damage.
Many attacks can go on for 10-30 minutes, even as passers-by try in vain to remove the attacking dog by choking it, kicking it, beating it with shovels or baseball bats.
There are cases of fighting breeds continuing to maul their victim even after the police have shot the dog multiple times at point-blank range.

The Myth:
No one can correctly identify a pit bull. Fighting breed advocates claim that most people shown a collage of dog photos online can't tell which one is the pit bull.
The Reality:
Many pit bull advocate groups post a collage of dog pictures online and ask the public to "identify the pit bull".
What the public does not know is that the majority of dogs pictured are shot from camera angles deliberately designed to mislead. In addition, they show heads only, so size cannot be considered—this would not be the case when seeing the dog in real life.
They also feature many rare breeds that are related to pit bulls, but which are extremely uncommon in the United States (e.g., the Dogue de Bordeaux, Alapaha Blue Blood Bulldog, and Ca de Bou).
And one of the dog breeds that is included is an American Staffordshire Terrier which is the exact same breed as the American Pit Bull Terrier, but registered with another organization. Click here for an in-depth, illustrated article about this misleading test.
It should also be noted that many humane societies offer discounts on spaying/neutering of pit bulls. If pit bulls are so difficult to identify, then how do shelter workers identify who qualifies for the discount?
There are also many pit bull rescues with the term "pit bull" in the organization name. How do these groups know which dogs to rescue?

The Myth:
"There's no such breed as a pit bull." "Pit bulls aren't a breed; they are just a 'type' of dog."
The Reality:
The term "pit bull" in lower-case letters refers to three closely-related breeds. The original breed was the Staffordshire Bull Terrier, a dog bred for pit fighting in the 18th and 19th centuries in the UK.
After importation to the U.S. in the late 19th century, they continued to be used for fighting, but were bred to be taller and heavier.
These larger cousins were then registered in the UKC as "American Pit Bull Terriers" (1898) and in the AKC as the "American Staffordshire Terrier" (1936). Note that these are identical breeds under two different names, and many individuals hold conformation championships in both registries.
In addition, some of the original, smaller dogs were reimported from the UK and were recognized in the AKC as the original "Staffordshire Bull Terriers" (1935).
A recent ASPCA study revealed that 93% of shelter workers were able to properly identify a "pit bull," meaning one of the three closely-related (or identical) breeds above (click here to see the study).
The American Pit Bull Terrier is actually one of the purest and oldest of registered breeds. The second-largest national kennel club in the world, the UKC, was originally founded in 1898 for the express purposed of registering fighting pit bulls.
For approximately the first 50 years, a pit bull not only had to be purebred, but had to win 3 dog fights in order to be registered with the UKC. Today, these dogs' descendants compete to win prizes in conformation, weight pull, and other sports.
Thousands have earned the title of UKC Conformation Champion.
Verdict: The three "pit bull" breeds, including the American Pit Bull Terrier, are just as purebred as St. Bernards, Schnauzers or Dalmatians

He may be down, but don't count him out.
Former Democratic congressman James Traficant, fresh off completing a seven year prison term for a bribery and racketeering conviction, says he has not ruled out running for Congress again.
"I'm not sure at this point," Traficant told CNN on Monday when asked if he would seek reelection. "Both parties would not want to see me in Washington, believe me… I was very controversial down there."
Traficant, known for his flamboyant appearance and fiery political speeches, served nine terms representing Ohio's 17th congressional district. He was convicted in 2002 and later expelled from the House of Representatives .
Traficant has been outspoken about his imprisonment in the week since his release, appearing on a number of national television and radio talk shows.
"Nelson Mandela said if you really want to know the truth about a nation, you gotta go through their prisons," Traficant told Fox News on Sept. 10. "Believe me, he's right. And I learned an awful lot about America going through the prisons."
Supporters of Traficant have long held that he was the target of a government conspiracy -- despite a jury finding him guilty on 10-counts including bribery, filing false income tax returns, obstruction of justice, conspiracy to defraud the United States and racketeering.
"I'd be the first one to support him" if he ran for office, said Linda Kovachik, a friend and former Traficant staffer. "And I think people are going to realize he really got the royal screwing and that his conviction was unjust."
Kovachik organized a homecoming party for Traficant at which 1,200 supporters gave him a hero's welcome following his release from prison Sept. 2.
"A lot of unhappy retirees are now asking for his help," Kovachik said. "And he's not even their congressman!"
John Green, political science professor at the University of Akron, says the resurgence in support for Traficant represents "nostalgia for the high point of Jim's career but also nostalgia for the Youngstown of 30 years ago."
Many parts of northeastern Ohio have struggled economically since the 1970s when widespread closures of steel plants dealt a blow to the area once known as "Steel Valley."
"In many ways, [Traficant] represents the anger people have for the economic changes that have swept through the area," Green says.
Bertram de Souza, longtime political reporter for the Youngstown Vindicator who has known Traficant for more than 30 years, says many former steel workers and other blue collar workers and retirees are drawn to "the power of [Traficant's] personality that is still there, and that blinds people to his reality."
"He does have vocal supporters," says de Souza, "but there's a silent majority out there that'd rather he go away."
Still, those detractors haven't deterred Traficant from contemplating a return to Congress.
" I'm going to have a lot of…opposition if I do run, but quite frankly, I don't give a damn," Traficant told CNN. "You know, beam me up, I'm ready if I decide to run."
Technically, Traficant is eligible to run for election and hold national office.
According to a 2008 study by the Congressional Research Service, "indictment for or conviction of a felony" and "congressional censure or expulsion" are not disqualifiers for holding future political office.

We are well into our kitchen/bathroom/laundry room remodel and not only am I missing home-cooked food, I am missing the experience of cooking and baking in general. We have returned to Naples and further traveling after a very brief "pit-stop" home, just long enough to check on things and to gather up some rhubarb from my yard to pack in my suitcase. If I can't be home for all the benefits of spring, at least I can take some with me! While this rhubarb bread recipe is a fairly standard one, I'm happy to be the first to review it and report that it does not diminish the fact that they (I baked this as muffins) delivered all I hoped they would. It is a great recipe. They are flavorful, moist, with just the right amount of rhubarb and spice and no distracting or "creative" add-ins. The topping is generous, stays put on the muffin and is delightfully crispy-crunchy. Mostly, they were the little taste of good, home baking Hubs and I have been missing. (One recipe produced 16 standard sized muffins. Bake at 350 degrees, about 25 minutes)
I altered slightly to suit our tastes, I halved the sugar and oil, added 1 tsp vanilla, used 1 cup each whole wheat flour, ap flour and oatmeal, for leavening 2 tsps baking powder and 1/2 tsp baking soda, used 2 cups rhubarb and dusted the tops of the muffins with cinnamon sugar. Baked at 375 for 22 minutes, made 15 muffins, very tasty!

Had some extra rhubarb and tried this out and it was delicious! I made muffins instead of bread and cut the baking time down to 20-25 minutes. I agree with others though that some more rhubarb would have been great too.
This is so delicious! First of all, I absolutely hate rhubarb but after using this recipe, I've definitely found a use for it! I made this recipe exactly as it is written, but next time I'm going to add at least 1/2 cup more rhubarb. It's perfectly fine as is, but I think that that extra little bit of rhubarb could make it even better. The crumble is a nice added touch, though I personally find it a little too sweet, that's a matter of personal preference however. Everybody loves is and even though I made it about an hour ago, half of it's already gone and my family is demanding I make a second one. The only discrepancy I found in this recipe was the fact that it said to bake it for 1 hour. I had to bake mine for about an hour and 20 minutes for it to actually come together. It is still surprisingly moist considering the length of time that it baked for.
My bread just came out of the oven and it turned out perfect! I doubled the recipe and the rhubarb and it made three loaves!
I wanted to freeze some of these so I made muffins and baked them for 25 minutes at 350 degrees. This recipe makes delicious muffins/bread! The ones that came out of the freezer defrosted perfectly at room temperature and were as tasty as when they were first made. Also, when I made these, I ran out of white flour and had to use mostly whole wheat and it worked well for me.
The first time I followed the instructions and it was ok but I cut the rhubarb into pieces that were too small so they practically dissolved when cooked. The second time I not only increased the size of the pieces but I increased the amount to two cups. Much, much better. The third time - I rocked it by adding somewhere between 3/4 and a cup of chopped walnuts. Awesome!
Great, will probably add 2 cups rhubarb next time!, also made into muffins!

Public Relations in the Nonprofit Sector
Theory and Practice

Routledge – 2015 – 342 pages
Nonprofit organizations are managing to carry out sophisticated public relations programming that cultivates relationships with their key audiences. Their public relations challenges, however, have routinely been understudied. Budgetary and staffing restraints often limit how these organizations carry out their fundraising, public awareness and activism efforts, and client outreach.

Eagles rout Jets 45-19, stay alive in NFC East
PHILADELPHIA The NFC East is up for grabs and the Philadelphia Eagles are back in the mix.
LeSean McCoy ran for three touchdowns to set two team records, and the Eagles routed the New York Jets 45-19 Sunday to stay in the playoff chase.
The Eagles (6-8) have won two straight for just the second time this season and somehow still have a chance to repeat as NFC East champions despite underachieving most of the year. But they have to catch Dallas (8-6) and the New York Giants (7-7).
The loss snapped New York's three-game winning streak, dropping the Jets (8-6) into a tie with Cincinnati for the final wild-card spot in the AFC. The Jets hold the tiebreaker advantage over the Bengals with a better record against common opponents.
Michael Vick threw for 274 yards and a touchdown, and also ran for a score in his second game back after missing three with broken ribs.
McCoy ran for 102 yards and surpassed Hall of Famer Steve Van Buren with his 19th touchdown of the season and 16th rushing TD in the third quarter. Juqua Parker returned a fumble for a score, and Brent Celek had a career-best 156 yards receiving.
The Eagles scored 21 points off three turnovers en route to building a 28-0 lead, and didn't let up after the Jets got within 28-13 at halftime.
When the Eagles last played at the Linc, fans booed them off the field and yelled "Fire Andy!" at coach Andy Reid following a lopsided loss to New England on Nov. 27.
It was far more festive this time around. Reid didn't hear any boos, even with Rex Ryan - son of beloved former Eagles coach Buddy Ryan - standing on the other sideline.
The Washington Redskins kept Philadelphia's division hopes alive with a 23-10 win at the Giants earlier in the day. Then the Eagles did their part by beating the Jets for the ninth time in nine tries.
Now it comes down to this: The Eagles can only get in the playoffs by winning the division. They must win at Dallas and home against Washington, and get some help. The Giants have to lose to the Jets and finish with a win at home over the Cowboys.
None of that would've mattered if the Eagles didn't beat the Jets for just their second home win this season and second in their last 10 home games, including a playoff loss to Green Bay last January.
Mark Sanchez, who was outstanding during the Jets' winning streak, completed 15 of 26 for 150 yards and two TDs. He was sacked four times and threw two interceptions.
Philadelphia went ahead 7-0 when Parker picked up Santonio Holmes' fumble and returned it 47 yards for his second score this season. Holmes caught a pass for a 7-yard gain before the ball was stripped by Kurt Coleman.
The Jets got a break when a punt that returner DeSean Jackson let bounce went backward and hit off teammate Curtis Marsh. Ellis Lankster recovered it at the Eagles 14. But Asante Samuel then intercepted Sanchez's pass at the 4 and returned it to the 23.

ANAHEIM – Spent the first day of summer Saturday at the Angels game.
Nothing odd about that. Alsospent the first day of summer here last year.
And, if you think about it, there might not be a more appropriate place to pass the longest day of the year than at a ballpark, where it can take a single player five minutes or more just to make an out. Although, as Josh Hamilton proved last season, some hitters are more efficient than others.
There is, however, a big difference now. I might actually spend several of the remaining 92 days of summer at Angel Stadium, too.
A year ago, there was no need or, more precisely, there was no point, the 2013 Angels yielding a season that was stunning in its complete pointlessness.
I'm not certain, but I don't think I was out here five times total all summer. See, it doesn't take long to tire of kicking a corpse. Even a coffin large enough to hold an entire baseball season doesn't require that many nails.
But the 2014 Angels season is very much alive. The team entered Saturday second in the American League West and atop the wild-card standings, Angels scores now relevant as something more than just fodder for punch lines.
So, in setting up the three months of warm and sunny potential stretched out before them, the Angels' first 15 hitters Saturday were retired in order by a Texas Ranger named Nick Martinez, a rookie with one career victory.
A year ago, the Angels would have been no-hit by the 23-year-old, while two of their everyday players suffered disabling injuries and their starting pitcher blew up like a Johnny Manziel poolside photo.
But these Angels, they're different. They turned their first hit into a sixth-inning run, rallied to go up entering the ninth and then had to fret while the bullpen ham-handed away another lead before winning, 3-2, in 10 innings on Howie Kendrick's double.
I said they're different, OK, not perfect.
Why, even Hamilton has been producing this season, his pregame average sitting at .330. If he keeps this up, I might have to stop taking pokes at him, and why is it so much more fun to write about a team that's losing than one that's winning?
In the sportswriting world, there's little satisfaction in praising everyone all the time. I already had a chance to become a cheerleader, but I decided against going into television.
Some people believe those of us in this business are supposed to be nothing but supportive of the home teams, and I'm fine with that, just as soon as the home teams start paying me.
Don't laugh. The idea isn't that far-fetched. The Angels are still paying Raul Ibañez today, and I promise I'll have as many hits for them as he will over the reminder of the season.

But seriously if you think HA is broken now, when 8v8 comes back the builds are going to be twice as a broken. (3 BoAs, Fortress Paraspike, Spiritway from hell, Bloodspike, Ultimate Zergway, Rspike....)
And a double fame weekend? Expect to see alot of R3 nooblets in halls after this weekend. I've already seen some high ranking players carrying on this exact same arguement in HA. The problem is the players aren't being listened to. Theres already 1000 great threads about HA fixes online, yet we are forced to settle for subpar quick fixes.
For example, on the other fansite, a high ranking player from iQ suggested fixing Discord by nerfing not the cast time, but the conditional damage the spell deals to a hexed and a conditioned opponent. After days of fuming the community finally agreed on his fix. Then the nerf bat comes and the skilll is completely butched beyond use to a 2sec cast time.
Democracy is ftw. Skill balances are not democratic. GG halls.

2001-03-24 Sven Ottke w co 8 James Crawford, Borderland Hall, Magdeburg, Germany - IBF
From Barry Hugman's History of Championship Boxing
2001-03-24 Sven Ottke w co 8 James Crawford, Borderland Hall, Magdeburg, Germany - IBF. Referee: Robert Byrd. Taking more risks than usual the champion set about the limited Crawford (167¼) right from the opening bell, dictating every round on his way to a relatively easy victory. Having thrown 165 blows at Ottke (167¾), landing with only seven, the American did not have the technical defensive ability to avoid punches coming his way, his demise being just a matter of time. Badly cut on the nose in the sixth Crawford tried his best to stay in the fight, but all that came to nought when a series of left-rights to the head followed by a cracking right to the body sent him down to be counted out with eight seconds of the eighth remaining.

Mar 7, 2011The advancements in RPG mechanics would be enough to set it apart, but the real achievement of Dragon Age II is in the story-telling. I could point out the improved combat and graphics till there's blood covering my face, but BioWare is one of the few companies that uses the advanced computing power available to modern game designers to let you actually play a role.
Apr 22, 2011Above all, it seems like Dragon Age II is an experiment. If you're a fan of the first game and expect a direct continuation, either in story or mechanics, you'll be disappointed. If you're not willing to put up with some rough edges and some mechanics that don't quite work as intended, you'll end up having a hard time. But if you're going for a game that has some of the best storytelling in RPGs in a while, or you're looking for a BioWare RPG to tide yourself over until Mass Effect 3, you won't do much better right now than Dragon Age II.
Apr 1, 2011Bloodier, muddier and cleverer than Origins, this is a story as much about Kirkwall as about Hawke, a stepping stone setting up what I can only imagine will be one hell of a conflict in the threequel. Perhaps above all, though, it's still the most fun you can have with dragons without being eaten alive.
Mar 31, 2011Dragon Age 2 takes everything that made the original so outstanding, and improves upon it effectively, offering another compelling, extensive, epic experience that will win you over with its rich character and tremendous attention to detail.
Mar 23, 2011Dragon Age 2 is a perfect example of how a great sequel should be put together.
Mar 23, 2011BioWare set the bar quite high for themselves with the Dragon Age: Origins. With big-but-subtle changes, the developer tries to address a larger audience with the second game, but this doesn't mean that these changes aren't fit for the hardcore demographic. On the contrary, Dragon Age II keeps the deep RPG-elements and the gratifying story that turned the first part into such a well received game.
Mar 21, 2011Dragon Age II might stir up a little controversy for the radical changes BioWare implemented in the series, but many of them were done to make the game more accessible. It's still the Dragon Age many of us know and love, it's just growing up a bit. If you're looking for a fantastic adventure with incredible dialogue, vastly improved visuals and visceral combat, this game won't disappoint.
Mar 21, 2011If you like your RPGs old-school with plenty of Tolkien and Dungeon Master mixed in with sword wielding warrior women and moody elves, then Dragon Age is for you.
Mar 16, 2011Combat may take some time to get used to, but overall a spectacular game from Bioware.
Mar 12, 2011BioWare streamlined the whole Dragon Age experience, making it more involving and dynamic than the first one: the great story and dialogue management are amongst the game's higher points, while we would have liked something more from the too basic visuals and level design. A recommended game, even to the most conservative players.
Mar 11, 2011Dragon Age 2 is a great RPG for PC and consoles, but it lacks a bit of complexity.
Mar 9, 2011An excellent role-playing game, and a logical and direct evolution of the previous game, more action-focused and more polished, although its action focus won't please everyone.
Mar 9, 2011Some great storytelling and enjoyable fighting prove once again that Bioware is the king of modern role playing games.
Mar 9, 2011The new battle system and the action gameplay are nice. Only the level design is obviously too repetitive. The game looks and feels a lot more accessible than its predecessor.
Mar 9, 2011Manages to be the same great epic as its forebear in terms of sheer scale and ambition, while packing in superior visuals, improved gameplay and a stronger grasp on its own unique identity.
Mar 9, 2011Though it doesn't hold a candle to its predecessor when it comes to sheer breadth, Dragon Age II has quite a bit more soul.
Mar 8, 2011It's not better than the predecessor and the constant reuse of the environment feels cheap. However it's still got that great storytelling, characters and hard moral choices that is the series signum.
Mar 8, 2011Dragon Age II is streamlined, not simplified. It's a great game within its own rights, but issues with the overall story, repetitive environments, and control scheme keep it from being truly fantastic.
Mar 8, 2011Dragon Age Origins was an enormous mouthful in a time where huge games are a rarity. Dragon Age II is somewhat shorter, but nevertheless a big game with an exceptionally well-framed story. Most of the new additions and updates are welcome, even if they don't put the game at the front of the pack. Easily recommended.
Mar 8, 2011You will either love or hate the game - I do both. Every twist of the story is followed by boring side quests. But the little story flame keeps burning and every flare of it keeps me in the game. I want to know what this is all about, even if it is only because I want something to happen.
Mar 8, 2011Although, visually, it still fails to reach standards of pure excellence, Dragon Age 2 proves to be a fantastic fantasy-RPG that will undoubtedly satisfy both fans of the genre and potential newcomers.
Mar 8, 2011It may be difficult for hardcore gamers to ignore the revamped combat system, but once you calm down and excuse some minor flaws, you'll find an amazing game in Dragon Age II.
Mar 8, 2011Despite the change in pace, graphics and tactics, Dragon Age II is once again one of the greatest RPGs of our time, thanks to an interesting storyline, fascinating characters and a fun, over the top dark fantasy combat system.
Mar 2, 2011Next to its predecessor, Dragon Age II may be a slightly altered beast, but the minute Isabela slyly chirps "I like big boats, I cannot lie" to a Desire Demon in the murky Fade, you'll realize this game offers some of the deepest, nerdiest, most worthwhile 40 to 60 hours you'll ever love losing sleep over. [April 2011, p.70]
Mar 7, 2011BioWare have comprehensively hit back at detractors of the original game and Dragon Age II delivers a distinctive fantasy RPG with far broader appeal and personality than before. Mega-nerds may feel slighted that they can't dig into the mechanics quite so easily but few would argue that this slicker, more streamlined approach isn't a vast improvement. [Apr 2011, p.73]

As such an old fan I came to appreciate the effort put into game making. Titles such as Baldur's Gate, KOTOR will always be memorable. What can someone say about Dragon Age II though? The gameplay is dumbed down to the point of hack/slash. Thanks but no thanks, Diablo III will do a better job than this. Storytelling is linear and non thrilling. Tactics are next to non existent and inventory, customization are a shadow of what is expected for an RPG game of this caliber. That said I think 60 bucks for a game rushed to please the mass fan base it too much. 30 would be good for this quality..… Full Review »

The only thing this game has is fighting (with much blood and exploding hordes of enemies - like the Marketing said.. for every button something flashy happens) also there are no Skills anymore, beside the fighting skills... The other thing is the story presentation, which Bioware still is good at.
But things like the restricted inventory and kodex entries (50% percent of the things you find are nondescript junk?? really?), the MMO Interface.. this all makes it to an Action Adventure at best. As a roleplay game it sadly fails in nearly every way :(… Full Review »

Bioware has long been a gem of rich storytelling and having the ability to define gestalt. However, glamor doesn't make a game. The graphics & sounds effects are clean, dark, & too simple to bring reference to the genre (they're more suited to modern, the future, or a tech setting). The quality of voice & story leaves one wondering that budget cuts were in the wrong areas--quite frankly, the game feels low rent, a sellout, & hoping to be a cash cow--or else promising to deliver to an immature crowd. The deviation from the genre just doesn't work. Given critic reviews of the game vs. user reviews, I wonder that critics are now as out-of-touch as Tom Cruise. As much as I feel that Overlord was an underrated game by critics, I call this game far too overrated. It's a huge let down. Let RPG fans mourn the loss of Bauldur's Gate, the downfall of it's "successor", & pray Skyrim is better, not bastardized, nor as dumbed down.… Full Review »

I find this pattern very confusing in regards to the "lace pattern," which is written as: Rnds 1-3 Knit, Rnd 4 yo, p1, p3tog, p1, yo. The first time it is mentioned in the knitting directions is in Rnd 6, where it says K6, work Rnd 1 of lace pattern over 5 sts, k5.
Is rnd 1 knit? What does it mean to work Rnd 1 over 5 sts?
Next, instructions say repeat Rnd 6, working lace sections in pattern until measures 7 inches.
Guess my biggest question is what is mean by "round" in the lace pattern?
cguilliams:what is mean by "round" in the lace pattern?
Hi cguilliams,
A round is the same thing as a row. So when the pattern instructions say
cguilliams:Rnd 6, where it says K6, work Rnd 1 of lace pattern over 5 sts, k5.
Row 6: knit 6 stitches, then knit the first round/row of the lace pattern (as per Rnds 1-3) over the next 5 stitches, end with knit 5.
Then it says to repeat Round 6. Go to what Rnd 6 says and follow it. (as I wrote out.)
I can't help you much more than that because I don't know what the Rnds 1-3, Rnd 4 ..... ect are. By labeling the Rounds/Rows as numbers, a knitter can keep track of where they are at.
Hope this helps, Zoe
cguilliams:Is rnd 1 knit? What does it mean to work Rnd 1 over 5 sts?
I see what you are asking. You just need a little concentration and you will understand.
Need to think WHERE it is telling you to begin your stitch pattern for the LACE.
When you reach ROUND 6 you will be ready to start your actual lace pattern by doing a "Knit 6, begin the first round of your lace pattern instructions over 5 stitches, end with a knit 5. correct. It told you that your lace pattern is consisting of 4 Rounds which are as follows:
LACE PATTERN (worked over 5 sts) Rnds 1-3 Knit, so Rnd 1 is knit, Rnd 2 is knit, Rnd 3 is knit. Round 4 and follow the "yo, P1, p3tog, p1 yo. (5 sts)
Don't confuse your rounds of regular knitting stitches (what is before the lace pattern) with the where lace knitting starts. So after you first reach Round 6 and do the above instr. for LACE, then you begin again with *LACE PATTERN* which consists of 4 Rounds. It is really saying you are to repeat your lace pattern (which began on round 6) think of it as just where you began following pattern for lace section) til 7 in" is reached.
We don't know what the first 5 rounds say
cguilliams:The first time it is mentioned in the knitting directions is in Rnd 6
You know you are working around when instructions tell you to use CIRCULAR needles. Draw a circle on paper, lay your needles on top of circle. You will join your last stitch to the first stitch once you have knit all the way around on your first round. Continue around without turning anything just round, round, round. Not like knitting back and forth on straight needles in a row. You do not turn your needles and go back the way you came unless you do short rows which is another thing.
So YES, Rnd 1 is knit, Rnd 2 is knit, Rnd 3 is knit OF YOUR LACE PATTERN. So whatever it told you to do before you got to round 6 you probably only do once, then your lace for 7 inches, then what ever else is next.
And all the women who were wise of heart spun with their hands, and they kept bringing as yarn the blue thread and the wool dyed reddish purple, the coccus scarlet material and the fine linen. Ex. 35:25
Something it helps to do get in the habit of doing.
Always read through your entire instructions and see if you have a clear picture. If not, go back and read again as many times as necessary. Try out a stitch pattern to see if you can execute it properly with the correct Gauge. So when you begin your project, you will just go ahead and enjoy the knitting.
For example: Check the PATTERN STITCH or the LACE PATTERN which is ususally set out after GAUGE instructions. Then make sure you understand that portion. Then check to see in the rest of instr. how to incorporate it into the regular course of the project. Try to visualize how it fits in. It may take a little time before hand but it saves time and frustration later on. Also under GAUGE it will tell you to check gauge over PATTERN STITCH using whatever # size needles. Because the Pattern Stitch will not necessarily knit up at the same gauge as just regular knits or purls. It will throw your gauge off if you are measuring gauge over just knits and purls when you actually have a large portion of your garment in a particular Pattern Stitch.
That's all folks

Re: Why so many unused boats?
neverknow, you've really got to get on the program. You see, during WW2 the Allies found out that by putting up huge phony airfields and other props, they could fool German intelligence and that's been given major credit toward making D-Day a surprise and victory.
What's that got to do with boats, you ask? Well, in the 1940's the government learned how to build phony prop boats, very realistically. Now, there are programs run by the DEA and by DHS designed to keep drug smugglers and narcoterrorists out of our marinas and away from our shores. That's right, many of those "boats" you see going nowhere, are actually FAKE BOATS, just cardboard and paint towed in there to make the marina look full and discourage the bad guys from trying to sneak in and tie up in what would otherwise be empty docks. For the marina operators, this is found money, because those agencies pay full list price, often at the day rate or weekly rate instead of the annual contract discount.
So don't let the bad guys know. We're Keeping America Safe by cleverly hiding the places where a bad guy might otherwise come ashore. If you own a dock space and want to join theprogram, it is open to the public, but you will be subjected to a thorough security background check when you apply, so make sure you've paid all your parking tickets up first.

Apple Upside Down Cake
|Unsalted butter/Margarine
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)

|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|Granulated sugar
|1⁄2 Cup (8 tbs)
|All purpose flour
|3 Tablespoon
|1 Pinch
|Ground cinnamon
|1 Teaspoon
|2 Pound (Miltons, Gravensteins, Mcintosh Or Golden Delicious)
|Lemon juice
|1 Teaspoon
|Unbleached all purpose flour
|1 Cup (16 tbs), unsifted
|Granulated sugar
|2 Tablespoon
|Baking powder
|1 Teaspoon
|1⁄2 Teaspoon
|Unsalted butter
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs), softened
|2 Large
|1 Teaspoon
|Orange juice
|1⁄4 Cup (4 tbs)
|Lemon rind
|1 Teaspoon, grated
1. Prepare the Glaze: Using your fingertips, blend the 1/4 cup butter or margarine, the brown and granulated sugars, 3 tablespoons flour, salt and cinnamon in a medium-size bowl until crumbly. Pat the mixture evenly into a greased 8 x 8 x 2-inch square microwave-safe dish.
2. Prepare the Topping: Wash, peel, quarter and slice the apples into a large bowl. (You should have 6 cups.) Sprinkle the apples with the lemon juice. Arrange the apple slices over the sugar mixture in 5 overlapping rows. Repeat with the remaining apples.
3. Prepare the Batter: Sift together the 1 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour with the 2 tablespoons granulated sugar, the baking powder and salt onto a piece of wax paper. Sift together 2 more times.
4. Beat the 1/4 cup butter in a medium-size bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, and the vanilla until well blended. (The mixture may appear curdled.)
5. Using a wooden spoon, alternately stir in the flour in 3 portions and the milk or juice in 2 portions. Stir in the grated lemon rind. (The batter will be thick.) Spread the batter evenly over the apples.
6. Microwave the cake on Full Power for 14 minutes or until the cake springs back when lightly touched with your fingertip. Invert the cake immediately onto a platter, spooning the hot glaze over the top. (The glaze will thicken as it cools.)

Online Dual-Degree JD and MBA Program Information
Although there are no dual-degree MBA and JD programs available entirely online, there are several options for students seeking both. Applying to separate online MBA and JD programs from the same school is one option. Students may also enroll in separate online schools or earn an MBA online and a JD on campus.
Essential Information
There are no accredited Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Juris Doctor (JD) dual-degree programs available in an entirely online format. A few schools offer both an MBA and a JD in online formats, but they are not a part of a dual-degree system. Students need to enroll in each online program independently, which would negate the convenience of a dual-degree program.
Another option is to earn the JD on campus and the MBA online. The inability of any entirely online JD program to be accredited by the American Bar Association is responsible for their scarcity online. Depending on the prospective student's state of residence, some additional accreditation may be required before officially becoming a lawyer. MBA programs cover topics in management strategies, business research and finance, while JD programs include classes in subjects like torts, criminal law and legal writing.
Related Degree Options
There are a few graduate programs available to students who are interested in pursuing online classes in business, management and leadership. These options include:
- Graduate Certificate in Executive Leadership
- MBA in Entrepreneurship
- Master of Science in Management
- Doctor of Business Administration
Online Master of Business Administration (MBA) Program Overview
Master of Business Administration programs are readily available in an entirely online format. Students enrolled in this program learn about business law and strategy, operations management, leadership, economics and marketing. A bachelor's degree is required, along with some coursework in business.
Program Information and Requirements
An MBA program may be completed entirely online, though hybrid online-campus options do exist. Some exams may need be taken at an approved testing site with a proctor. Students can access online materials and turn in assignments at any time day or night. Interaction with instructors and peers is conducted through online message boards, e-mail and phone.
Common Business Administration Courses
The curriculum of an online MBA generally consists of a combination of core business courses, emphasis courses, specialization requirements and specialization electives. Some schools require a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.00 for graduation.
Marketing Management Course
This course explores the concepts and methods of efficiently administering the connection between consumers and the providers of goods and services. Students gain knowledge in areas such as product development, promotion, market definition and strategic market planning.
Entrepreneurship Course
Students learn how to build a business from the ground up. Developing a reasonable business plan, coordinating the operation and monitoring the institution using sensible methods are all studied. The necessary thought processes for setting goals, staying motivated and achieving at a high level are highlighted.
Business Laws, Ethics and Regulations Course
This course focuses more on public law than private law. Students learn about anti-discrimination laws and how to maintain a healthy and unbiased workplace while avoiding problematic employment-related matters. A company's liability and ethical responsibility is examined as it relates to products and contracts.
Continuing Education
Students interested in furthering their business administration education can do so through a Doctor of Business Administration or a Doctor of Philosophy in Business Administration program. A few institutions offer such programs in an entirely online format.
Online Juris Doctor (JD) Program Overview
Though scarce, Juris Doctor degrees may be earned entirely online. Unfortunately, they generally only meet the requirements for a single state Bar Association and must be supplemented with additional educational requirements to practice in other states.
On-campus programs are more readily accepted by the American Bar Association and law firms. Candidates for admission into such a program must first have completed an undergraduate degree. Students enrolled in this program learn how to create effective legal documents, navigate the American legal system and become a proficient attorney.
Program Information and Requirements
Online coursework is generally a combination of asynchronous materials, which can be worked on at any time, and live synchronous lectures. Students may contact their professors and fellow students through online discussion boards, chat rooms and e-mail.
Common Juris Doctor Courses
A JD program is made up of required and elective courses. Students use casebooks and other legal texts to further their understanding. Some schools require a cumulative GPA of at least 2.0 for graduation.
Contracts Course
Students learn how to create a variety of legal contracts. The statute of frauds and breach of contract liability are also studied. Special consideration is given to third-party contracts and how to use them to transfer responsibilities and designate benefits. Other subjects examined include bargained-for consideration, parole evidence and frustration of purpose.
Criminal Law Course
This course focuses on laws involving the state's ability to apply discipline for a variety of criminal offenses. The appropriate punishment for crimes such as homicide, larceny, rape and arson are discussed as well as the rules regulating attempts and conspiracies to commit said crimes. Students are taught to see into the mind of a criminal and distinguish motives for committing wrongdoing.
Evidence Course
The differences between federal, state and common law are analyzed as they pertain to evidence-related topics such as admissibility, expert testimony, hearsay and the burden of proof. Students are taught the necessary steps for introducing and impeaching certain bits of evidence. The specific duties of judges and juries are also examined.
Continuing Education
As previously mentioned, online JD programs only allow admittance to the Bar Association of the administering school's state. If a student is looking to be admitted to the American Bar Association or the Bar of another state, additional educational requirements must be met. These requirements must be done in-person to allow for a more universally accepted Bar admittance.
Career Information
Holders of both a JD and an MBA are qualified for careers as general and operations managers, chief executives or lawyers. Lawyers with the supplementary knowledge acquired through the MBA become highly skilled at designing mergers and acquisitions, preparing private equity investments and bargaining for effective settlements of company lawsuits.
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) reported that in May of 2009, there were 556,790 lawyers with an average yearly salary of $129,020 (www.bls.gov). Similarly, there were 1,689,680 professionals employed as general and operations managers and 297,640 individuals employed as chief executives with average yearly salaries of $110,550 and $167,280 respectively. The BLS also predicted 13% growth in the overall employment of lawyers between the years 2008 and 2018.

Have a heart: Pia Cayetano makes case for women on V-Day
MANILA, Philippines—Two weeks before Valentine's Day, Sen. Pia Cayetano fought for the right of women to receive "luxurious gifts" from their loved ones as she called on her fellow legislators to come up with a higher threshold amount for jewelry purchases before these are reported to the Anti-Money Laundering Council (AMLC).
Cayetano made the practical suggestion during period of amendments to the proposed bill increasing the crimes and transactions covered by the country's antimoney laundering measure.
Cayetano wants the threshold amount to be higher than the proposed P500,000 for dealers in precious metals and in precious stones to be mandated by law to report the transaction to the AMLC.
"Allow me to speak as a woman. I don't buy myself expensive jewelry. In fact, I like semiprecious stones. I like what you may call junk jewelry to be perfectly honest. But if a man were to give me jewelry I want it to be seriously good," Cayetano told her colleagues.
No less than P.5M
"And so in my case, being a public official, it's like telling me that I have to limit myself to something less than P500,000 so that my gift won't be reported. I'm making light of this gentlemen. But that is the situation that you put somebody like me," she said.
This developed as the Senate, with a proposed amendment by Sen. Ralph Recto, removed tax evasion from the bill's proposed list of predicate crimes that would necessitate monitoring of bank accounts by the AMLC.
It maintained the bill's provision on casinos and Internet casinos being required to report to the AMLC but with the provision, proposed by Senate President Juan Ponce Enrile, that it should only do so "when there is suspicion of money laundering notwithstanding the transaction being covered."
The bill was also amended so that real estate agents are no longer required to make a report to the AMLC. Real estate transactions, however, should be reported to the AMLC if the amount involved would be P25 million.
Cayetano said her issue also goes to daughters, who otherwise would be given pieces of jewelry by their fathers during special occasions like Christmas.
No special someone
Senate Pro Tempore Jinggoy Estrada, who was presiding over the session, then asked Cayetano whether there was still no special someone who would give her jewelry.
"I don't have a husband and given that (threshold), perhaps nobody would give me a gift anymore," Cayetano said.
Told by bill sponsor Sen. Teofisto Guingona III that the proposed provision doesn't seek to prevent giving jewelry worth more than P500,000 but only requires a report to the AMLC, Cayetano said, "Who wants to report how much they gave me? Di parang pinresyohan mo ko nun (It was like you put a price on me)."
Asked what amount should be the threshold be for jewelry transactions, Cayetano said, "I ask the gentlemen here to be generous and think deep. No one has yet to give that kind of gift so I wouldn't know. But it's definitely not P500,000."
"Let's ask those who like to give these kinds of gifts," Cayetano said.
Guingona said he expects the measure—the third of three Amla amendatory bills recommended by the Paris-based Financial Action Task Force—to be passed on Monday.
The Aquino administration is pushing for the bill increasing the number of predicate crimes and transactions covered by the Amla to prevent a downgrade of the country's standing in the international financial community.
A downgrade would mean stringent, even restrictive, regulations imposed on international transactions to and from the Philippines. Aside from affecting investor confidence, it is also expected to affect remittances of Filipino migrants to their families.
