Brad was our agent buying our first home. I had heard so many horror stories about the home buying process I was terrified with what I thought I was about to get myself into. Brad more than alleviated every single fear I had. He showed us over 30 homes in person, hundreds online. He was always willing to show us potential houses after normal business hours and even on weekends. We put in two offers on houses that were not accepted before finding the perfect home-and getting our offer accepted! Brad was very supportive through the whole process. He walked us through everything and kept us up to date on what was going on throughout the entire Escrow (I actually know what that word means now!!) process. There were a couple of hiccups between our offer getting accepted and closing but Brad was on top of it and never let us get stressed out or frustrated. We waited nearly two weeks for the seller to respond to an addendum on the offer. Brad contacted the seller's agent countless times during this time so we would have the most up-to-date information available. With this delay I would have assumed our closing date was going to be pushed back by at least a week but not on Brad's watch! We closed ON TIME. Our closing date was August 31st and he went to great lengths to ensure we would have our keys in hand before the long labor day weekend. I would recommend Brad to anyone looking to buy a property, whether it is their first home or they are experienced home buyers. More Less

Stars Step Out For Novak Djokovic Foundation London Gala
London, U.K.
by ATP Staff|
A day after the Wimbledon final, World No. 1 Novak Djokovic took centre stage once again to raise £1.2 million for disadvantaged youths at the Novak Djokovic Foundation's inaugural London Gala dinner at The Roundhouse.
The charity's Global Ambassador Sarah Ferguson, the Duchess of York, and event chairs Goldie Hawn, Kate Hudson, Naomi Campbell and Boris Becker lent their support to the Serbian's cause, and were joined in attendance by Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie of York, Jeremy Piven, Gerard Butler, Hayley Atwell, Richard Branson, Tim Henman, Marion Bartoli, Branislav Ivanovic and Jonathan Ross.
The Novak Djokovic Foundation held its first star-studded fundraising dinner in New York last September following the US Open and raised more than $1.4 million.
"The Foundation's vision is to raise awareness of disadvantaged young people in Serbia and around the world, especially those who've had fewer opportunities to reach their full potential. With the help of my friends, family and supporters, I hope we can raise the much needed funds required to make a difference to the lives of these young children," said Djokovic.
Learn More: The Novak Djokovic Foundation
Earlier this year, Djokovic received an ATP ACES For Charity grant in support of The Novak Djokovic Foundation. The ATP ACES For Charity program is a global initiative aimed at giving back to communities where ATP World Tour events are played, as well as recognising and supporting tournament and player charitable initiatives.

Cyclops - the visually-impaired robot
The Cyclops mobile robotic platform is designed to be used as a surrogate for blind persons in the testing of visual prostheses (Image: Caltech/Wolfgang Fink, Mark Tarbell)
Article Summary
Scientists at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) have created a remote-controlled robot to help test the effectiveness of visual prostheses, such as an artificial retina, which are implanted into visually-impaired patients. Cyclops the robot - or, rather, the mobile robotic platform, or rover - lets scientists "see" the results that human patients could expect without having to test the device on them first. It is hoped that this approach may spare them some unnecessary procedures and one day lead to giving blind people the freedom of independence.

The hotel is nicely situated near the old harbor fortress at Taranto. Our room had a great view of the fortress and bay. There is no car-park, so arriving before the dinner hour -- when all the diners are parked on the street -- is advisable

I had a single room on a mezzanine floor. The windows were half windows coming up from the floor. There was a great view of the water and the canal to the inner harbor, but I had to bend down to see! There was a very bright light outside the windows at night, but the drapes were thick. There are lots of buses going from the train station to the newer part of town where the hotel is located. However, they left from 2 different places and the signs did not indicate which buses stopped where. Hotel guests can get a discount at the restaurant located in the hotel. There are also many other places nearby, and some great gelati stores.

Only a few parking spots in front of the hotel; given the thick, chaotic driving and "creative" parking customs in Taranto centre, this was often a problem.

You have truly been a blessing to me. I have renewed hope, and I can't thank you enough. I really miss my grandmother, and this makes me feel like there is a link to my family in Italy. My grandfather died before I was born, but if he was anything like my father was.....he was a great man.
Thank you again.

Big Baby returns to LSU
|09.17.10 at 11:44 am ET
Glen Davis returned to Baton Rouge to check out the new practice facility at his alma mater and took some time to chat with LSU Sports. Obviously one of the questions was about new Celtic, and former Tiger, Shaquille O'Neal.
"It's crazy. I can remember days when I was just a little boy watching him play here at LSU. Shaq was everywhere in the city. To be in the NBA and play against him and now having him on the same team it's unbelievable. I'm so glad he's on our team and he can help us get back to that championship."
Davis is a legend at LSU. He won SEC Rookie of the Year honors, SEC Player of the Year as a sophomore and led the Tigers to the Final Four.

I am here to guide you to the right path and help you find the answers. Through my intuitive abilities I can put your mind at peace, help you uncover the truth, bring forward deceptions, relieve self-doubts, and help you find what it is you want.
To my good friend, Steven B. I would like to first thank Steven for his time spent with me over the past few months. He has been an awesome friend and spiritual leader. He was always there to talk to and his honesty with me can't be more cherished! Shortly after I spoke with Steven the first time, I felt a huge healing calmness. Steven picked up on my life's problems with his abilities that no one else was able to do. Steven B is more than a psychic medium to me. He is a healer. He gives off a great deal of energy and the presence of love, peace and tranquility I felt for days after I saw him is not what I expected. He made me understand how things worked in my life and what had made me who I am today. Even professionals I had seen could not make me understand but he helped me understand the hardships that I had gone through. He helped me understand how and why these things had happened to me and explained how and why people had caused me harm and how I had caused harm to myself. He put my life in perspective. Thank you Steven as the road is now open in front of me. I feel truly blessed in your presence and I will always hold dear gratitude for you as you have helped save my life. I didn't know any other way I could put this into words to describe my experience with Steven B other than he was the savior of my life and literally more than I could have prayed for to deliver me from the ruin that was my life. Over the years I have been praying to meet someone who could totally understand me. I had been so lost until I had met him. I am finally free. Thank you Steven for your guidance and prayers, he have been my salvation. I'm so glad to have met him! Sincerely, Maria 8/26/2014Read More...
My reading with Steve was outstanding! I highly recommend a reading with him if you want good truthful, honest answers as he will tell you what you need to hear and not just tell you what you want to hear. He is truly a gift from GOD!!! I will never forget Steve or my reading with him. It is because of him that I now have a better understanding of my life and what I need to do to be happy and live the life I was truly meant to live. Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have spoken with him and to have him in my life. I know I have told you (Steve) thank you so many times but I do feel it is right to say it again, THANK YOU Steve!!!! For everyone out there who wants a reading, Steve is your person, don't wait any longer, give him a call!!!! - Jamie A. July 9, 2013Read More...
Dear Steve, I am writing you to thank you for the assistance you gave me after I lost the love of my life. Last August I lost my husband to a senseless traffic accident. We were just beginning the "us" part of our lives. The children were now all adults out on their own, leaving us the best time of our lives; the "US" time. Then in a blink of an eye he was gone. His breath no longer taken and his heart no longer beating. No more hugs, kisses or encouragement to be received from him. I cannot express in words what that did to my heart and mind as a human. To have the most important part of your life removed so quickly, so abruptly and so senselessly it is still beyond my comprehension. I was in such sadness and despair. I needed answers and something to help me understand what I was to do next. Where am I to go? How am I to live on? I called you and scheduled a time to talk with you to hopefully make a connection. What you did for me was beyond my expectations. Your ability to connect to those who have passed assisted me in becoming who I am today. You saved me from the dark and cold empty hole of despair and sadness. I thank you for the help you gave me and giving me the strength to become who I am today. I believe without your assistance I would be so depressed and withdrawn ….. who knows where I would be, if at all. Thank you Steve for your help in giving me my life and my energy. Gratefully, Ann Elizabeth 06/17/2014Read More...

Data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey involving 972 children with asthma showed that 53% of them were exposed to secondhand smoke between 2005 and 2010. Researchers reported increased odds of three or more visits to a doctor or emergency department due to wheezing, sleep disturbance, and limited activity among those exposed to secondhand smoke. The findings were presented at the Pediatric Academic Societies annual meeting.

Ecuador is located in Northwestern South America in the Andean region and is characterized by its ethnic, cultural and geographical diversity. After decades of economic and political crisis, which profoundly affected Ecuador's poverty level, especially the indigenous population, the country in recent years has made important structural reforms that have enabled it to improve the growth rates and income levels of its population. However, there are still major challenges to sustaining these achievements and eradicating the persistent social and economic inequality that mostly affects the indigenous populations living in rural areas.
In Ecuador, 5.7 million children and adolescents form the population group under age 18; this represents 39.23 percent of the Ecuadorean population. About 1.8 million live in poverty, and 1.7 million in extreme poverty, a situation that makes them less able to exercise their fundamental rights, such as access to health, education, protection and participation, among others.
The most excluded child population has high rates of malnutrition, which reaches levels of up to 53 percent in some areas. The effects of malnutrition include severe language impairments; thus, children suffer difficulties in interaction. In many cases, this is irreversible and affects their future development.
The effects of poverty on children living in Ecuador extend to the field of education. 390,000 children ages 5 to 17 do not attend regular education programs, and only 7 percent of young people living in rural areas have completed high school. In recent years, according to population statistics related to about 1.8 million youths, there is an alarming increase in teenage deaths from preventable causes such as traffic accidents (33 percent), suicide (11 percent) and other accidents (45.21 percent).
The percentage of teenage mothers is growing, which implies not only health risks to mother and child, but also implications for the future endeavors of these young mothers who are particularly vulnerable to social exclusion.
ChildFund has operated in Ecuador since 1985, working in partnership with community-based organizations and local government institutions to implement programs and projects focused on the development of children living in conditions of vulnerability and exclusion. At present, ChildFund operates in five provinces and six areas, Carchi, Imbabura, Northwestern Pichincha, Quito, Cotopaxi and Tungurahua, benefiting 574 communities, 110,000 children and family members.
ChildFund's commitment in Ecuador is to continue strengthening the capacity of its local partner organizations so they lead the development of their communities by providing sustainable solutions to the problems affecting children and families.
ChildFund's main strategic partners in each of the areas are federations, groups of community associations whose representatives are local leaders. ChildFund empowers these organizations through funding from sponsorship donations, which support the federations' Area Strategic Plans.
Each federation seeks partnerships and alliances with institutions whose expertise allows them to perform, provide technical guidance and co-finance activities planned to achieve a broad, deep and lasting impact on the lives of children and communities, helping them identify causes of poverty and alleviate its effects.
The executing or implementing partner organizations are defined in relation to their respective projects' needs, and they provide technical and organizational resources as well as operational and programmatic infrastructure.
The partnerships with ChildFund enable federations to build capacity at all levels of their local organizational structures so that they may become strong voices on public platforms, developing relationships within local governments and in connection with the larger government structure.
The program aims to
To accomplish all of this, the program provides training to groups of parents and caregivers in the community on issues related to the physical, emotional, social and intellectual development of children; the material focuses on nutrition and malnutrition symptoms, health, adequate early stimulation, music and toy making. Mothers apply this learning at home and monitor the development of their children, according to their age, using ChildFund's Child Development Scale.
Operating within the framework of the Ministry of Education policies and regulations, ChildFund's program provides educational equipment, builds and/or improves public infrastructure in marginal rural and urban schools, sponsors the formation of children's clubs (recreational, cultural or educational), promotes school and after-school activities to improve the quality of learning, implements social and financial activities geared to school-age children, promotes the formation school governments and supports the improvement of parenting skills to promote and support the education and protection of their children.
This project aims to promote the participation of families and community organizations in improving the protection and treatment of protect children and their developmental conditions. This is achieved through by promoting the participation of women and youth in and outside their communities, helping them become guarantors and promoters of the rights of children.
This project aims to promote the participation of families and community organizations in protect children and their developmental conditions by promoting the participation of women and youth in their communities and outside of them, helping them become guarantors and promoters of the rights of children.
This project aims to build the capacities of the community organizations so they will become protagonists of their own development processes. This is done by training its members in areas such as project design, implementation, monitoring and evaluation as well as other activities to strengthen participation within community organizations.

The struggle of Syrian refugees in Lebanon
Can Kazakhstan become a world power?
15 Nov 2012 08:56 GMT
Dana Boyd Barr is a Public Voices Fellow with The OpEd Project and a research professor at Emory University's Rollins School of Public Health. She is the former director of the Pesticide Laboratory at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
It took a devastating hurricane for the health of the environment to become an election issue. But we need to be talking about more than climate change. We also need to be talking about chemicals.
This year marks the 50th anniversary of the publication of Rachel Carson's Silent Spring, the book responsible for the onset of the environmental movement, which led to the banning of the pesticide DDT a decade later.
What many people don't realise is that in 2012 we are exposed to more toxic chemicals than ever before, in spite of legislation enacted to control it.
In the US, chemicals like PCBs, solvents and adhesives are regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976. But rather than "control" which chemicals are released into the
In the US, chemicals like PCBs, solvents and adhesives are regulated under the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) of 1976. But rather than "control" which chemicals are released into the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat, TSCA really just follows them after the fact.
When TSCA was enacted, more than 60,000 untested chemicals were present in our environment, and an estimated 8,000-12,000 chemicals continue to be introduced annually, with no requirement that human toxicity or exposure data be provided before the chemical is used.
Essentially, we the consumers and citizens are the experimental animals on which these chemicals are tested.
Ongoing cycle of toxic exposure
Once in the environment, it often takes a decade or more of exposure and research before we have evidence that a chemical may be toxic. When that happens, the offending substance is removed from manufacture only to be replaced by another chemical that we know even less about. Case in point: DDT.
Rachel Carson advocated for a ban on the pesticide because it was interfering with normal bird development and had the potential to harm humans. We all think of DDT as a bad chemical these days.
Joni Mitchell admonished its use in her 1970 song "Big Yellow Taxi", singing, "Farmer, farmer, put away that DDT/Give me spots on my apples/Just give me the birds and the bees, please".
But farmers didn't simply throw out DDT, they replaced it with even more toxic chemicals, called organophosphates, which work like nerve agents because they block an enzyme that is critical for nerve function.
These chemicals, used today on crops such as apples, broccoli and cotton, have been linked with ADHD, lower IQ and other neurological problems in children exposed during pregnancy or early childhood.
We have simply replaced one harmful chemical with a group of even more harmful chemicals. And the pattern continues. Under TSCA, chemicals are considered safe until proven guilty, unlike in Europe, where chemicals must be tested before they are legal to use.
Think your water bottles are safe now that they come "BPA free"? BPA has been used to bind plastics for decades but scientific reports suggest harmful reproductive and neurological effects at exposures common to humans.
After the FDA banned BPA from baby bottles and child cups, the market took care of the rest, and plastic manufacturers eliminated the substance from their products. But how toxic is the binder chemical they replaced it with? The answer: we simply don't know.
We could ask the same question of the chemicals that replaced PFOA, which was used to make Teflon and which causes breast, testicular and pancreatic cancer in rats. The new chemicals are molecularly identical, just smaller. Think about that next time you reach for a non-stick pan.
Protecting our health
As an environmental health researcher who's studied all these chemicals and many more for over the past 25 years, I can say this is an ongoing cycle of toxic exposure that we are doomed to repeat unless we take action to stop it.
The only way to protect ourselves is to reform TSCA so safety testing is required before a chemical can be introduced into manufacturing and our environment.
Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey, a state that has more than its share of toxic chemicals, with more Superfund sites than any state, introduced the Safe Chemicals Act (S.847) in 2011. This act would close the loopholes in our current regulations and put the burden of proof of safety on manufacturers before they can use a chemical. The Safe Chemicals Act came out of committee this past summer and awaits a congressional vote.
Some may say that we need pesticides and plastics to maintain our modern existence, and that increased regulations would hamper production. Of course, we need some chemicals, but aren't we owed assurance that a product has been thoroughly tested before it contaminates our bodies? Should we continue to be the human guinea pigs on which "nerve agent-like" pesticides are tested?
Without a doubt, the economy and the prosperity of Americans are important issues in 2012; however, we cannot lose sight of the importance of protecting our health from toxic chemicals.
The fix is simple. Congress needs to modify an outdated, inefficient law. Find out if your newly elected or re-elected representatives support the Safe Chemicals Act. If they don't, urge them to. Aren't we all entitled to safe water and food for ourselves and future generations? I, for one, am convinced we are.

In the case of American Home Assurance Co. v. Trumbull Corp., No. GD-11-006886 (Ct. Com. Pl. Allegheny County, Oct. 10, 2012), the court granted summary judgment in favor of two excess general liability insurers on a matter of first impression relating to coverage for damages caused by alleged faulty workmanship. The court held that, under Pennsylvania law, general liability policies do not cover such claims.
In 2007, Trumbull Corporation completed construction of a reinforced soil slope and foundation pad for a new J.C. Penney store in southwestern Pennsylvania. Shortly after the store opened, cracks began appearing in the J.C. Penney store and two additional buildings due to soil settlement. Three commercial tenants moved out of the shopping center because of the cracks and sued Trumbull for faulty workmanship. Trumbull submitted the claim to its primary and excess general liability insurers.
Trumbull's primary insurer agreed to defend it under a reservation of rights, but Trumbull's excess insurers filed an action against Trumbull seeking a declaration that they were not obligated to provide coverage. The excess insurers moved for summary judgment, arguing that, under Pennsylvania law, damage to buildings resulting from faulty workmanship does not constitute an "occurrence" under general liability policies.
In considering the excess insurers' summary judgment motion, the court noted that Pennsylvania courts had previously considered coverage for construction defect claims under three fact scenarios: (1) where the work itself was damaged; (2) where there was damage to portions of the project and the work was performed under a contract between the insured and property owner; and (3) where there was damage to other portions of the project and there was no contract between the insured and property owner.
Although Pennsylvania courts had consistently agreed that an insurer may properly deny coverage for damage to the faulty work itself, the court noted that the last two situations could be analyzed under two inconsistent lines of reasoning: the first finding coverage for ancillary damage, and the second concluding that damage resulting from faulty workmanship is never covered because "faulty workmanship can never constitute an accident." According to the court, Trumbull presented a fourth situation – i.e., where the faulty workmanship damages the property of a third party who was not involved in the project and had no relationship with the insured. However, because it concluded that Pennsylvania's appellate courts have adopted the second of the lines of reasoning described above, the court held that the excess insurers were not obligated to provide coverage to Trumbull.
Trumbull indicates that Pennsylvania courts have adopted a blanket rule that general liability policies do not cover damages resulting from faulty workmanship. If appealed, the Trumbull decision will provide Pennsylvania's appellate court with the opportunity to clarify Pennsylvania law regarding coverage for construction defect claims under general liability policies.

Strengths: good traction, drifts predictably, doesn't wash out on dirt or concrete.
Great on climbs in mud. Quite surprisingly grippy!
Weaknesses: mud traction-sheds fairly slow.
Sidewalls seemed thin, but no pinch flats.
Bottom Line:
I love these things. Total cost for tubes and tires was $42 from my LBS.
been running these for about 6 months now, going to have to buy new ones pretty soon. These handle a 4-mile ride to the trails every time I go, don't get flats nearly as often as my previous bontrager tires, and wear slow enough for me to consider them worth the money. They also don't wash out, except with extremely flat angles on wet asphalt. Not bad for road rolling resistance either!
I found it slightly annoying that the Heathen tended to "float" at high speeds in very deep and very slick mud(literally slicker than ice). I still will buy them! I ride about once a week at my local trails. I thought the sidewalls seemed a bit thin when I bought them- but run them at 30-35 PSI when it is really wet or 40-50 when it is pretty dry(I'm 150#ish) and so far no pinchflats.
I also ride my Trek on the road quite a bit to get around, as I'm too young to have a car.
Bottom line: Cheap(great for high school racers), good traction, durable, corners well. Good tire for everything, including some road.

Similar Products Used: CST Camber, Kenda Nevegal, Bontrager stock 3500 tires, CST Cabarello
Bike Setup: Trek 3500 with upgraded fork, Cannondale F9 also with rockshox front.
Date Reviewed: January 2, 2014
Strengths: Cheap, cheap, cheap! Decent grip, drifts controllably, works tubeless, decent rolling resistance, decently long wearing
Weaknesses: Grip degrades faster than wear would suggest, cheap cheap cheap, feels a bit small for stated size, weak sidewalls.
Bottom Line:
I won this tire in a raffle after a day of trailwork, so my value judgement may be a bit biased, but the tire's MSRP is rather low as well. I use it as a rear tire and it performs without much complaint there. I had been using a 2.4 mutano as a rear tire (not reccomended, but it was either that or a 2.0 race tire at the time), and this was a significant improvement, and I'm still more or less happy with the tire today. I have the "higher end" version of the tire with the EPS breaker, higher TPI, and better rubber compound. It rolls decently well, it grips decently well, and it set up tubeless with stan's without too much trouble (Although it has burped on me twice under hard landings, but isn't a tubless tire so I can't knock it for that!).
I do have a few complaints with this tire though. It feels a little small for it's size, but that may be due to how round the tire is (mounted on a 23mm internal rim). Although the wear looks like it's slow, the tire's grip is degrading at a higher rate than it would appear. Part of this is due to the slick, sandy "dirt" of Southern California, but even on grippier trails and hardpack the rear feels a bit too happy to drift for my tastes unless really leaned over.
Overall, a pretty good tire, and for getting it free, I'm extremely happy with it. Even if I'd paid MSRP (which is ~25 bucks), I would be plenty satisfied with the tire. If you're on a budget and need a decent tire, the CST Heathen is recommended, but try and get the folding bead, 60tpi version if you can! You'll be happy you did!

What can I do with a major in Anthropology?
What is the value of a Liberal Arts education?
Career-Related Resources at the University of Washington
What can I do with a major in Anthropology?
There are so many career directions open to anthropology majors that your question will likely become, "What do I want to do with my degree?" Some of our recent graduates can be seen discussing what they are doing with their degrees on our YouTube channel.
Employers are usually more interested in a college graduate's skills and strengths than in a particular college major. Being qualified for many career paths, the biggest challenge might be narrowing down options.
Anthropology majors at the University of Washington develop many skills that employers view as essential. Some of these skills are used so often that they may seem "second nature."
Examples include:
- Effective communication
- Analytical thinking and complex problem-solving
- Keen awareness of context and its implications
- Analyze, synthesize, and interpret information
- Insight into cultural dynamics
- Work well independently and as a team member
- Ability to understand & improve human relationships
- Interact well with diverse cultures/groups
- Presentation skills
- Communicating across cultures/languages
- Interpersonal communication skills (oral and written)
- Conduct research
- Summarize information
- Knowledge of social structures and change processes
- Sampling, gathering and organizing data
- Interviewing and surveying
- Conduct field studies
- Analyze data and write reports
- Plan and implement projects
The Value of a Liberal Arts Education
Anthropology is a liberal arts degree rather than a professional certificate. A liberal arts degree, particularly in anthropology, is extraordinarily valuable in today's increasingly globalized world.
Quintessential Careers: Ten Ways to Market Your Liberal Arts Degree
The Role of Liberal Arts in Your Future
Many recent studies, including a 2006 research study entitled How Should Colleges Prepare Students to Succeed in Today's Global Economy?, indicate that "when evaluating the skills of potential new hires, business executives place the greatest emphasis on:
- teamwork skills;
- critical thinking and analytical reasoning skills, and;
- communication skills.
Some anthropology majors will want to pursue the types of careers that are more typically associated with anthropology such as archeologist, professor, high school teacher, archivist, museum curator, or national parks education specialists.
Although these are wonderful occupations, there are many other possibilities. Our graduates have entered into the following professions and occupations:
- Advertising
- Attorney
- Business
- Court advocate
- Dentistry
- Development officer
- Environmental protection
- Human resources
- Laboratory technician
- Land management
- Lecturer
- Library management
- Management
- Medicine
- Museology
- Nursing
- Paralegal
- Professor
- Public administration
- Public health
- Public relations
- Publishing
- Research scientist
- Sales
- School administration
- School teacher
- Security
- Social work
- Translation/interpreting

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Is conjuration worth it?

I just got conjure dremora lord. He doesn't do much damage but since he's in the way I don't hit as often with my destruction spells. The fights take longer with him then without him. I don't have elemental potency yet. Should I get that and use atronachs instead?
Candy: Tastes like chicken, if chicken was a candy.
At higher levels the Atronach Thralls with Elemental Potency, are pretty sweet. They get stuck a lot though, and can often get in the way. Dragonborn has an "Augment" that allows your companions to take no damage from your attacks/spells. Id recommend that.
Main Pawn: Raven Lv. 200 Ranger - Challenger/Mitigator/Utilitarian
Alt Pawn: Ayia Lv. 200 Mage - Utilitarian/Medicant/Challenger
Once you hit level 46 or higher Sanguine's Rose actually summons a more powerful version of Dremora Lord than the spell.
You can also use it to summon 2 at once with the Twin Souls perk.
Necromancy or don't even bother.
Actually... don't even bother with that. Just get the Atherial Crown, slap "The Ritual" stone on that, and keep re-equipping it for infinite ressurects (the day long cooldown resets every time you take the crown off) with no skill point or magika investment.
With Necromancy, when you fight a tough opponent you know they're at least gonna be tough ressurected.
With other summons... yeah... they stop being worth anything past level 35 or so. They die incredible fast, don't do much damage, and are a distraction at best.
Or better yet, invest in Illusion, like Necromancy it will turn tough enemies into tough allies, except now you don't even have to kill them first. Also it's kinda fun to RP a succubus and use your mind-controlling charms to make everyone fight to the death for you. Highly recommended you take stealth with this build though, and have a fallback combat skill like One-Handed or Destruction for enemies like Dragons that aren't susceptible to illusion. It's also good to memorize the ingredients for a "Fortify Illusion" potion, as even without alot of skill or perk investment in Alchemy those extra few levels the potion adds can be the difference between between hitting that level 50 Dragon Priest and Calming him for a backstab... or getting slaughtered when your spell fizzles.

Does using staves build xp in the related schools of magic? Ex. will a staff of fireballs build up your destruction?

No, staves give no experience at all.

Which IMO is kinda wrong...
2 Dremora Lords is almost broken. I usually cast them and focus on the enemies that they aren't engaged in. There aren't any enemies other than top tier dragons and a few unique boss battles that 2 dremoras can't solo two on one.
As for getting in your way, you just have to get used to manuevering behind enemies who are fighting your pets, its not hard it just takes getting used to.
Your dremora lord doesn't kill anything? Seriously? Because mine just about kills everything. Maybe u should get storm atronach.
"Gameplay is why I will play Galaga for the thousandth time but one more second of LAIR will make my nuts shrivel and die." LilBandit
Lol at the thought of Dremora Lords not doing enough damage or dying to quickly.
I find summoning while playing on Legendary to be my equalizer, my enabler. Plus, um, Bound Bow and all that.
I perk the left and right side of the tree and have no intentions on resetting it.
I also trained Erik the Slayer with my summons, prior to giving him better equipment, (he also made for a good tester which I enjoyed, acting like a jedi master to him:)
Yeah, IMO, Conjuration is boss, as is Illusion. Makes playing Legendary less frustrating!
The ones in the gold masks are party crashers, but all are welcome to the Mad God's Masque and Bellicose Ball

You honestly have to see these photos to believe it everybody. As most of you have probably heard, the hilarious "Trailer Park Boys: The Movie" is about to finally release in the U.S. as it did last year here in Canada. A lot of buzz has been growing and it looks like Ricky, Julian and Bubbles are back to fuck up the lives of Mr. Lahey, Randy and everyone else possible (Yeah, I love this show!).
With that in mind, the official U.S. premiere of the movie took place yesterday and a fellow hottie Canuck named Elisha Cuthbert was there to celebrate it. She looked gorgeous for the premiere but the real reason these photos are classic is for her poses with Bubbles on the red carpet. These are amazing shots for those who are huge fans of the show. Long live Bubbles!

Will Chargers' most complete game be fulfilling?
We must be pleased that McCoy, who has been a little underwhelming in some areas of game management, challenged a call that got the Chargers the ball back with two minutes left in the first half, preventing a Giants score and setting up one by the Chargers as they extended their lead to 24-0.
You know what else? The Chargers ran Mathews three times from the 1-yard line in the third quarter. And he scored.
And Melvin Ingaram? Amazing. Awesome. Inspirational. He played just a dozen snaps or so at outside linebacker in his first game since suffering a torn ACL in mid-May, but he did so just 6½ months after surgery.
Players gushed about the emotional lift Ingram provided. And when asked why the decision was made to activate Ingram a game earlier than required, McCoy said, "It's about winning."
For at least one more game, it matters that it is..

Vivek and Pavan had been living together as a couple for two years in Pune. "He had a sense of humour and a baritone voice a heady mix," says Vivek.
On their second anniversary, they had a party for a select group of friends which went on past midnight. "I was having trouble staying awake to chat," recalls Vivek. He fell asleep, but woke up to find his clothes being removed.
"I'm a teetotaler, so I wasn't drunk and this was not a joke," he trails off recounting the brutal nightmare, as Pavan pinned him down while the others raped him. "While I was being violated, all I could think of was, 'this was someone I loved and trusted!' And yet, here he was holding me down laughing..taunting me about how I was actually enjoying it."
A traumatised Vivek is seeing a therapist. But why didn't he go to the police? "And tell them what? So I feel raped and humiliated again?" he retorts.
Shaji met Anindyo at a party in Mumbai three years ago.
Their mutual attraction soon turned into a live-in arrangement. "We seemed so happy," says Shaji. Things started becoming sour when Anindyo began to have work troubles at his ad agency.
"He began screaming at me over minor things. Just when I was dismissing it as a phase, he started getting suspicious, wanting to monitor my Facebook account and phone. When I objected he pushed me hard against the wall and punched me in the face."
From then on, the violence only became more frequent. Shaji went to the police but didn't know what lay in store. "I was told that I was being punished for seeking 'unnatural' sex," he says. Today, his family wants little to do with him.
He now lives with a friend till he finds another place.
Ashok Row Kavi of Humsafar Trust, an NGO that champions gay rights, believes cases like these cannot be addressed without legal and social sanction for gay marriages and unions.
"Today, even if you want redressal, what laws will you use to do so?" he asks. "We have a long way to go in terms of a legal framework for a civil union, or other laws like in the West, under which people can actually move court and seek justice."
He adds that there is not much they can do except counsel as there are no specific mechanisms in place. He remembers cases where people were cheated of property, money and savings when the relationship soured.
"Since there is little by way of support systems like those for women in distress, the condition of men caught in these circumstances can be particularly bad."
Astoundingly, such violence in LGBT relationships is neither rare nor isolated. A 2011 Family Planning Association of India (FPAI) study titled, 'Measurement of Violence faced by key populations among MSM (men who have sex with men) and TGs (transgendered) found widespread physical, emotional as well as verbal abuse in both communties.
Dr Kalpana Apte, director of training, FPAI, who worked on the study opines, "Because of the space society accords them, the MSM and TGs are often the most vulnerable. Fear of being caught and the desperation to seek company away from societal gaze means they are often more susceptible to violence."
She cites the case of a person brutally abused with cigarette butts on his private parts, leaving him with anal syphilis, but who didn't seek justice in fear of the sense of shame and a system devoid of redress.
"The first question that comes to mind is who in his right senses will seek intimacy with a potentially abusive partner? But this is only a typical response from an outsider to the community. Luckily, this man at least found Medicare.
We need to think of what we will do in terms of social support and trauma counselling, With little India-specific research on such cases available, it can seem daunting."

Fund Balance/Net Position
Fund Balance
GASB 54 provides guidance on the acceptable instances for when and how negative (debit) balances may be reported for governmental funds. The general fund is the only fund that reports a positive unassigned fund balance amount. In general, if the total fund balance is negative (exclusive of any nonspendable amount), report the negative balance as unassigned. For more information, see Governmental Funds.
Net Position
No category of restricted net position can be a negative (debit) balance. If liabilities that relate to restricted assets exceed those assets, no balance is reported. The debit amount must be reported as a reduction of unrestricted net position. For more information, see Proprietary Funds.

GOSHEN — The stage is set for the rematch.
The last time Kirsten Smith pitched on North Oldham's field, she allowed four runs in what was seemingly the beginning of rough second half of the regular season for the Lady Colonels. It was the first time OC had lost to North in five years and the Lady Colonels dropped five of their last nine games following that district loss.
North Oldham swimmer Grace Oglesby announced Wednesday via Twitter that she has verbally committed to the University of Louisville.
While the use of the term 'Triple Crown' is trending among the sports world for a race horse to accomplish a feat that hasn't been met since 1978, there's an individual at South Oldham who has been deemed to have already won his own version of that title.
BUCKNER – South Oldham had no intentions of following the status quo to start the District 29 Tournament Monday night against North Oldham. On paper, it was a set up for the Dragons' season to end – one team sputtering while the other flourished. History had shown these two crosstown rivals would fight to the final out, usually resulting in a one-run ball game. Winner lives another week, loser goes home.

Author has written 5 stories for Romance.
Hello, I am creativemind111, I am already an author on Fanfiction.net:
And a tumblr:
As oddly as this sounds, I've written most of these stories on cruise ship, while on vacation-- it seems to be when my imagination seemed most active. (haha) Must have been the ocean air. Any way, I hope you'll enjoy my work. If you have any ideas please let me know, some feedback in my other stories really helped me improve my writing. Any story ideas are welcome too :)
A/N: My McAllister prep from fanfiction is not similar to the new one, here on fictionpress, the only similarity is the name (and perhaps the place) of the school. I hope you enjoy both any way.
I saw other authors doing this and I found it rather fun to look at their "imaginary" characters, here's what I imagined mine to look like (ROUGHLY): Some I had to compromise because they weren't the right age. I changed my choices so many times, it was ridiculous. I scoured the internet...but please (I'm begging you) if you can send me anyone you think is Jake or Sam.
