A Tour Around Ace Frehley's Bronx
By Katherine Turman
Sure, it's a bit of a marketing con jobJackson ain't exactly David Allan Coe, or even Junior Brownbut it took some rawhide cojónes to crash the Predator's Ball with "Murder on Music Row," his sardonic duet with George Strait that laid to waste all those Sucker Opies grabbing the bling-bling with the cotton-candy trifle of countless high-concept novelty numbers. "Murder on Music Row," which eventually hit No. 1, was so baldly confrontational that Strait himself seemed to disavow it as a joke when the pair accepted their trophy for best song at this year's Country Music Association Awards (would that Jackson had acknowledged the irony of slamming country gimmickry with his own slapstick shtick). Jackson's too large to worry about offending sensitive music honchos; on last year's CMA broadcast, he sang George Jones's "Choices" in his performance slot when Jones was cut off and couldn't complete the song. He's Nashville's Mariano Riveraas close to a sure thing as any label can hope forand he's earned his right to bitch.
Jackson has thrived with an indeterminate persona. He's a sophisticated hick (he named his band the Strayhorns, after Duke Ellington's favorite collaborator), an aw-shucks shit-kicker with a Tiffany spittoon. Rather than trade on his private life for tabloid headlines, Jackson projects himself as a stolid, simple craftsman doing good works for the preservation of honky-tonk music. Like a Wrangler-clad Wynton Marsalis, he's a public figure whose reverence for his musical heritage keeps it real for soccer moms. Reverent, but not slavish: Jackson dilutes country tropes just enough to make them digestible for fans who would never think of buying a Lefty Frizzell album. Jackson is also a master at working both sides of the picket fence. Witness his terrific 1999 covers album Under the Influence, which alternated cuts from the canon like Jim Ed Brown's "Pop a Top," Gene Watson's "Farewell Party," and George Jones's "Tall, Tall Trees" with FlufferNutter like Jimmy Buffet's "Margaritaville." Even when Jackson's pledging fealty to his forebears, he's got one eye on The Gavin Report.
A high-water mark of the Bush-era Big Hat movement, his 1989 debut album, Here in the Real World, was musically foursquare and tastefully restrained yet perfectly suited to Jackson's low-key emotionalism; its biggest hits, "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow" and "Wanted," offered up simple virtues in both form and content. Later, feel-good product like "Chattahoochee" and "Midnight in Montgomery" borrowed requisite thematic signposts to no startling effect. But Jackson's resonant, smooth-as-Southern Comfort delivery, with its melancholy echoes of Jones and Haggard, convinces you that clichés are verities. Even when Jackson's playing the cornpone card, as on his self-pitying anthems "Don't Rock the Jukebox" and "She's Got the Rhythm (and I've Got the Blues)," he's got enough self-knowing rural soul to make his whimsy work.
When Somebody Loves You is typically sturdy Jackson, whipsawing from gritty to irrelevant to goofy. Now that he's firmly established himself as Nashville's acceptable rebel hero, Jackson gleefully and continually chucks empty beer bottles at the establishment. "Meat and Potato Man" is a contemporary reactionary upgrade of "Fightin' Side of Me" or "Okie From Muskogee": a long enemy's-list of fusty bourgeois signifiers ("I don't like caviar, sushi bars . . . phony stars"). "Where I Come From" and "It's Alright to Be a Redneck" are Jeff Foxworthy routines without the punch lines, but like those old Haggard songs, they have their own fetid roughneck charm. Jackson perhaps protests too much when it comes to Nashville's new pop wavehe's not averse to recording facile boilerplate to notch another hit on his belt, and the new wave has its own virtues. But in the country cosmos, a benign maverick still beats a benevolent hack.

Carlos Moya's Black And Yellow Breathe Free II's (Picture?)
I looked on gettyimages.com, there were photos of Carlos, but unfortunately no full body pics including his sneakers. I also looked in the yahoo sports section and there was one photo, but it was way difficult to even make out the shoe itself. I was wondering if anyone out there has seen a picture of Carlos with the Breathe Free II's in black and yellow? A good and somewhat upclose picture hopefully. Anyways, if you could post here it would be much appreciated. I know that 6/1 is the release date for these shoes and the black and yellow ones are suppose to be one of the ones to be released. I was just hoping to see them somewhat upclose. The Nike catalogs have the shoe listed but no picture. If no one has a photo, I know that he is playing on Wednesday (later today) so I'll probably get to see them live or in some kind of photo, hopefully. Thanks. Later
Leave your email here. I'll see what I can do.

PHILADELPHIA - In September 2012, the City of Philadelphia and a holding company called Kenpor L.P. struck a deal: The city would help Kenpor acquire about 100 properties from foreclosure after Robert Coyle, convicted of fraud, defaulted on $10 million in mortgages in 2009. In return, Kenpor would pay the city $300,000 and, over time, put $630,000 in escrow to start rehabilitating or demolishing the properties.
It was a glimmer of hope for Kensington and Port Richmond, where nearly 300 properties were snarled in the foreclosures. But today, each of Kenpor's properties has code violations (one has 20), the city has not been paid, the escrow account is largely unfunded - and Kenpor wants out.

Researchers compile list of prominent Henricoans
In this 400th anniversary year, we are hearing a lot about Thomas Dale, Chief Powhatan, John Rolfe, Nathaniel Bacon and other prominent figures in Henrico history.
But what about notables such as John James Beckley, Herman Melton, John Minor Botts, Opossunoquonuske and Jane Bolling Randolph?
What's that, you say?
These names aren't familiar at all?
Well, thanks to a team of researchers from the Henrico Library, you can find out about their roles in county history with just a few pecks of the keyboard.
To mark the 400th anniversary, the team recently compiled a list of more than 100 people who have helped shape the development of Henrico County.
Working from an idea originating with Beverly H. Davis of the 2011 Commemoration Advisory Commission, the committee of librarians devised a set of standards, researched nominations submitted by commission members and the general public, designed a database and wrote descriptions.
The response to the Notable Henricoans Database (NHDB), said Assistant Library Director Christine Campbell, has been "overwhelmingly positive."
"Patrons are delighted to find this resource collated in one place with such rich and diverse entries," said Campbell.
To date, the NHDB website has had 2,802 hits since its September debut. Among the feedback from patrons was a comment passed on by committee member Andrea Brown, who said that a man interested in history and genealogy praised the database for its well-written and well-researched entries.
"He feels the database is an important resource for people to learn about their community and the persons who were important in the development of Henrico County," said Brown. "He thinks every county should have a similar database, because the NH one captures information that would not be easy for the layman to find."
As it happens – now that Henrico has received state and national recognition for the NHDB – it's quite likely that other localities will create similar databases, using Henrico's as a model.
The National Association of Counties recently awarded Henrico County Public Library its Outstanding Achievement Award for the NHDB, while the Virginia Public Library Director's Association awarded HCPL its
Outstanding Public Relations Award.
The citations noted that while the information about local individuals had previously been scattered throughout various documents, it is now easily accessed through the database, and will serve as a model for online publishing of local historical information.
Officials at Henrico County Public Schools have also taken notice of the NHDB's usefulness, and will introduce all fifth-grade students to the NHDB when they study Henrico County history at the beginning of the school year.
Servants, generals and queens
The NHDB has proven useful not only for schoolchildren, library patrons, and local officials looking for a model system. Committee members who researched the nominees and wrote the entries said they also found it an enjoyable learning experience.
Lead Research Librarian Mike Shoop counted Jane Bolling Randolph and Herman Melton among the favorite subjects of his research. Randolph, an 18th century descendant of Pocahontas, left behind the earliest surviving culinary manuscript in America, while the African-American Melton worked as a lab assistant at the Medical College of Virginia during the era of segregation.
In addition, said Shoop, "It was surprising to discover that General George Pickett [famed for Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg] was born and raised in Henrico – I had not been aware of that." He also enjoyed his research on John Minor Botts, a Henrico lawyer and politician jailed by the Confederate government for his Unionist leanings, and on Abraham Wood. "[Wood] arrived in Henrico as an indentured servant," said Shoop, "and had a successful career that included discovering and naming the New River in 1654."
Among other interesting notables Shoop cited were John Pleasants, who donated land for the first Quaker Meeting House in Henrico; Opossunoquonuske, a.k.a. "Queen of the Appamattocks," one of the first Virginia Indian leaders to meet with the English in 1607; and Alice Proctor, "who managed to repel her attackers during the Indian Massacre of 1622 and save her home."
Christmas mothers, explorers, governors
Committee member Andrea Brown remarked that she especially enjoyed researching John James Beckley and Mittie McGraw Nelson.
Appointed by Thomas Jefferson as the first Librarian of Congress in 1802, Beckley – the man for whom Beckley, West Va. is named – served as clerk of the House of Representatives as well. Beckley has also been called the first professional campaign manager for his efforts to organize support for Thomas Jefferson as president.
Mittie McGraw Nelson, the first Henrico Christmas Mother, was somewhat of a challenge for Brown to research.
"I had some difficulty obtaining her first and last names due to the custom of married women being listed as a 'Mrs.' and not under their own names," said Brown, who eventually found Nelson's first and maiden names in a 1978 newspaper obituary. Then she used a number of newspaper articles to research the origins of the Christmas Mother program and the reasons Nelson was elected as the Mother.
Other librarians remarked that they enjoyed learning about John Garland Pollard, the 51st governor of Virginia, and Thomas Batte, who explored the New River Valley in 1671 looking for a path through the Appalachians.
Kay-Lyn Merritt noted that a favorite subject of her research was John Cussons of Glen Allen, who built the 125-room hotel named Forest Lodge at the intersection of Mountain Road and the railroad tracks.
"In the summers when my children were young, we drove to the swimming pool on Brookley Road and passed the old building almost every day," said Merritt. "I knew it must have an interesting history and enjoyed finding out about how Cussons worked to make Forest Lodge a destination resort, and how his cantankerous personality alienated his neighbors."
As a member of Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden (LGBG), Merritt said she also took a personal interest in the story of Grace Arents, whose Bloemendaal Farm began as a rural retreat for sickly youth and is now the site of LGBG. "I hadn't realized," said Merritt, "the extent of her philanthropy and what a difference she made in education and social improvement in Richmond."
A third favorite of Merritt's was Edward Thurston Mankin, who owned the brick foundry in eastern Henrico that supplied bricks for the restoration of Colonial Williamsburg and is today owned by a couple who operate it as a bed-and-breakfast and wedding site.
Bound to grow
Perhaps the best thing about the database, say librarians and committee members, is that it is an ongoing, living thing with ample opportunity for public interaction.
Each month, for example, the library includes a "tidbit question" in its online newsletter to promote the NHDB. Drawn from information in a database entry, the question wins the first correct respondent a prize.
What's more, says Campbell, the database is in no way complete. Aware that they may have missed notable Henricoans – and that future notables are still living and therefore ineligible – the designers made it easy to submit corrections or nominate others for inclusion through the website.
Before they can be included in the database for public access, however, the entries must first be approved by the Commission. Of 233 entries in the database, 149 have been approved to date.
"I always like to state that notable Henricoans from Pocahontas to Jimmy Dean, and everyone in between, are represented in the database," says Christine Campbell.
And as Mike Shoop points out, the list will continue to grow and get better.
"We have quite an assortment of other interesting folks waiting in the wings for addition to the database as well," says Shoop. "So there's more to come!"

President Obama's signing of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (the Act) into law this past month was welcomed as a historic change to our nation's health care system. The 2,400-page reform bill (H.R. 3590) cleared Congress on March 21, 2010, after a heated and mostly partisan vote. Naturally, hospitals and other health care providers benefit (financially) from the Act's insurance market and coverage reform to the extent these measures increase the number of patients with insurance coverage (an estimated 32 million newly insured individuals) and reduce self-pay and charity care cases. In the event that you haven't had time to digest the voluminous text of the Act, we have identified 10 aspects of the new Act of likely interest to hospitals.
First, acute care hospitals will be able to participate in a program under Medicare to incentivize improved quality outcomes by tracking hospital readmission rates and offering financial incentives to reduce preventable readmissions. This program authorized by Section 3025 of the Act will track excess readmissions and provide public reports of hospital readmission rates. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will oversee this program, which is anticipated to be established in 2012.

|Lions WR Johnson has chance to break a Rice record
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 13 December 2012 12:05
By LARRY LAGE
AP Sports Writer
ALLEN PARK, Mich. (AP) - Detroit Lions receiver Calvin Johnson says he enjoys having his teammates pull for him as he tries to break Jerry Rice's single-season record for yards receiving.
The Lions don't have much else to root for this year.
Detroit has dropped five straight and will finish the season with a losing record, one year after winning 10 games and breaking the franchise's 11-year postseason drought.
Johnson has been a bright spot.
He has a league-high 1,546 yards receiving going into Sunday's game at Arizona. With three games left, he is 303 yards from breaking Rice's single-season mark set in 1995 with the San Francisco 49ers.
Cardinals star receiver Larry Fitzgerald says Johnson is the best in the business.

Henry's Canada: Panasonic Lumix FZ200 Was $530 | Now $400 & Free Shipping (EXPIRED)
There are quite a few stores out there having days of deals sales in anticipation of the Christmas rush. Henry's is one of those stores and today's deal is sweet! Get $153.02 off the Panasonic FZ200 12MP camera with a 16 GB card. Originally $553.01, and now $399.99, you'll also get free shipping.
If you've got someone's wish list and on it is a new camera, this is an inexpensive way to fulfill that wish. My son wants a camera, although I think he is just a tad too young for it. I think he would treat it nicely, but I worry about his brothers fooling around with it if he doesn't put it away. I may reconsider later today and hope the deal is still on, as this is the right price point that I'd like to spend on his gift.
I can let you know all the nitty gritty about this camera, which includes 12.1MP, 12GB SDHC card, 24x optical zoom, 12fps burst rate, full 1080/60p HD video and F2.8 aperture across entire zoom range.
If none of that really means anything to you, you can check out some of the reviews, I found on Amazon:
This camera is just as advertised ! Takes fantastic photos with virtually no lag time. My husband loves his Xmas gift!
This model has a nice long lens and is relatively light.
Of course I also shopped around, to ensure that this is the best deal out there and found that it was. Amazon sells this camera for $523; Vistek sells it for $529 and London Drugs sells it for $529.
I bought my newest camera from Henry's and found the customer service to be great. I actually have to take mine back in as it is having a few issues, but that could be user error. I'm hoping the Henry's associates will help me out.
I wouldn't wait too long, as there are limited amounts of this camera available.

Elekta to Showcase Gamma Knife Registry Software at Congress of Neurological Surgeons Annual Meeting
PR Newswire
ATLANTA and CHICAGO, Oct. 5, 2012
ATLANTA and CHICAGO, Oct. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire/ – At the 2012 Congress of Neurological Surgeons (CNS) Annual Meeting, October 6-10, at McCormick Place (Chicago, Ill.), Elekta (booth #620) will reveal compelling new innovations for Leksell Gamma Knife® that promise to enhance information management.
Leksell Gamma Knife Registry will debut as a highly valuable software solution for research, treatment optimization and the future development of evidence-based medicine. By providing efficient and consistent data management, the registry helps physicians ensure the accuracy and consistency of treatment. It also provides patient outcomes for effective long-term analysis.
Leksell Gamma Knife Registry is powered by MOSAIQ®, Elekta's comprehensive Oncology Information System. Connectivity between Leksell Gamma Knife and MOSAIQ (in Leksell GammaPlan 10.2) ensures a better flow of patient care and saves valuable time and resources. In addition to importing patient information, users also can interface with billing systems, import appointment scheduling, import lab results and export lab orders.
In addition, Elekta will highlight characteristics of Leksell Gamma Knife® Perfexion™ that separate the system from other radiosurgery solutions. These include its dedication to intracranial cases, complete solution integration, industry-leading accuracy, "shrink-wrap" dose conformity and extensive proven clinical efficacy. Demonstrations of the system will emphasize that Perfexion is designed to minimize the risk of human error and radiation toxicity, while optimizing accuracy and dose conformance.
"Collecting, storing and analyzing clinical data are increasingly critical in refining treatments based on outcomes," says Jay Hoey, Executive Vice President, Elekta North America. "Leksell Gamma Knife Registry can serve as the foundation for the clinic's development of evidence-based, personalized medicine protocols that will benefit patients."

Pikes Peak
Mitsubishi is preparing to return to the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb this month. It will compete in the Electric Modified Division with a pair of updated MiEV Evolution racers. The all-electric race car is more powerful and capable than ever. Read More
A production version of Lightning Motorcycle Corp's Electric Superbike has won this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb among two wheelers (both gas and electric) with a time of 10 minutes and 0.964 seconds. The nearest competitor, racing a Ducati Multistrada, finished with a time nearly 20 seconds slower. Read More
With his surname already linked with the overall Pikes Peak International Hill Climb record thanks to son Rhys, Rod Millen is focusing his attention on piloting an electric vehicle up the mountain. During his debut in the electric division, he'll look to break the EV record in an updated version of the vehicle that set it: the EV P002 from Toyota Motorsport GmbH (TMG). Read More
Peugeot has released the first pictures of its special-edition 208 T16 to be entered into the Unlimited division of this year's Pikes Peak hill-climb. For those unfamiliar, Colorado's Pikes Peak Hill climb is the second oldest auto race in the US and takes place over a 12.4-mile mountain course with 156 turns of varying sharpness and difficulty. Read More
The Pikes Peak International Hill Climb challenges vehicles of all sizes, shapes and makes to tackle thin mountain air, nearly 5,000 vertical feet (1,524 meters) of ascent, and more than 150 turns and corners. Despite being delayed by the most destructive wildfire in Colorado history, and despite a bout of nasty weather, nothing stopped this year's pack from setting 11 records and making it the fastest Pikes Peak hill climb since the race's inception in 1916. Read More
Toyota Motorsport is hoping for a spectacular few months in the middle of 2012, most notably with the race debut for the TS030 HYBRID in the Le Mans 24 hour and now for an EV assault on Pikes Peak. Not content with challenging the all-conquering Audi Team Joest with its hybrid 3400 cc V8 and supercapacitor energy storage system, the company has unveiled a new development of its TMG EV P001 car (which set a very respectable EV lap record at the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 2011) dubbed the P002 with which it will compete in the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb in Colorado on July 8. Read More
Mitsubishi Motors has today announced that it is to enter two electric cars into this year's Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, taking place this July. In addition to the electric production i-MiEV taking part, Mitsubishi is entering its i-MiEV Evolution, a prototype developed from i-MiEV technology, purpose built for the Pikes Peak event. And compared to the production model it's a wee beastie. Read More
He might look like a friendly old Japanese grandpa with a crazy giggle, but Nobuhiro "Monster" Tajima is the undisputed king of the mountain that matters: Pike's Peak in Colorado. For the last six years, Monster has dominated one of the world's most spectacular and death-defying hill climb races in a series of ever-crazier souped-up Suzuki race cars. This year, it seems he's found one more mountain to climb: the 62 year-old has announced he'll be taking a fully electric race car to Pike's Peak in 2012. Could this be the year that a battery car beats the petrol brigade? Read More
Pike Peak hillclimb records smashed
By Jack Martin
June 28, 2011
Sixty-one year old motorsport legend Nobuhiro 'Monster' Tajima, almost certainly the oldest world class athlete competing in any sport today, won his sixth consecutive Pikes Peak International Hill Climb on Sunday, at the same time as breaking the long standing 10 minute barrier for the course which rises 1.5 kilometers from start to oxygen-starved finish. Nissan's electric LEAF established a new electric car record for the course and Ducati's "four bikes in 1" Multistrada defended its 2010 win with a new record too. Read More
Every year the steep countryside in the Rocky Mountains 10 miles west of Colorado Springs echoes with the roar of engines as entrants negotiate the treacherous switchbacks of the annual Pikes Peak International Hill Climb. This year, however, a number of vehicles will be making the climb in near silence, including Nissan's all-electric LEAF. The LEAF's entry in the 89th Pikes Peak International Hill Climb marks the motorsport debut of the vehicle that, aside from the removal of a few interior parts to make way for safety equipment, will be very similar to the LEAFs that roll off the production line.

My worst problem is I have teenagers who eat carby crunchy snacks (Oreos, cheezits, wheat thins, etc.) which, when the girls are not eating them, sit tantalizingly in our pantry, calling out to me. My kids are very active in sports and can eat that stuff all day long with their furnace-like metabolisms and not gain an ounce, but my love handles bulge if I just glance at them. We compromise by keeping them sort of boxed away in the pantry.
My wife has been a great supporter too so that for example when she makes her delicious crawfish pies, she'll make some without the pie crust which if you ask me are just as good. I don't feel like I'm missing out on anything. So again, good luck and I hope this works out for you like it has for me.
There are some examples of low carb athletes such as this one:
Western States 100 - Low Carber Wins Ultramarathon - Steve Phinney and Jeff Volek Study
Earlier this summer, Steve Phinney and Jeff Volek, authors of The Art and Science of Low Carbohydrate Performance, headed to the Western States 100-mile Endurance Run, to study how runners in this grueling race fared, literally, for they were checking how the athletes performed, AND how they ate. Steve Phinney says that more and more endurance athletes are choosing low-carb, high-fat. They're choosing this diet both to get over digestive problems that hit in such a demanding event, and to win the race, and win it BIG! That's what Tim Olson did this year. A self-proclaimed low-carb eater, Tim won the race - with a record-breaking pace. - Shelley
I know ultramarathoning is different than tennis but I can also point out that a certain #1 ATP player in the world is also a gluten free eater. I am not claiming joker is low carb by any means but giving up bread doesn't seem to have done his tennis game any harm.
Thanks TW for the version reversion and Xenforo FTW!

In the third part of a series on the impact of rising prices on city-dwellers, K. Lakshmi and Deepa H. Ramakrishnan examine how meat and fish products have become a luxury
Many city-dwellers have cut down on consumption of non-vegetarian dishes over the past few months as the skyrocketing prices have started eating into their budget.
In just a year, the price of meat products has increased by Rs.100 per kg. Mutton is the costliest among the meat products owing to its high demand. G. Bhanu, a resident of K.K. Nagar, said: "I buy meat from the local market. I stock chicken and mutton in the fridge and use it for two or three days and cook simple dishes whenever vegetables cost more. Now, everything from rice, vegetables to non-vegetarian items are expensive."
While several people have cut down on quantity and reduced consumption of meat to one or two days in a week, some lovers of non-vegetarian food have restricted frequenting their favourite joints where they gorge on non-vegetarian dishes.
Many hoteliers too who, have been unable to cope up with the increasing cost of raw meat, recently hiked the prices of non-vegetarian dishes by at least Rs.50 for every dish.
"Earlier, there was at least the possibility of visiting areas where meat is cheaper. Now, the products seem to cost the same in almost all localities. I have to spend minimum of Rs.500 to eat a sumptuous non-vegetarian meal at home," said V. Jayaram of Pozhichalur.
On an average, 4,000-6,000 goats are slaughtered daily for meat. Similarly, there is a demand for 1 lakh to 1.5 lakh hens daily. R.Anbuvendan, general secretary of Federation of All Meat Traders Associations said that the city's demand is met with goats transported from places as far as Maharashtra. "Goat rearing has come down quite a bit in both the State and Andhra Pradesh that were the regular sources for the city's meat demand. This has led to the sudden increase in price," he said.
Retail prices of chicken and mutton are on an average higher than the wholesale price by a margin of Rs.50. B. Shabeer Ahmed, president of Chennai Meat Traders Association, said "The transporters have increased their charges following the recent fuel price hike. We pay triple the amount as last year as transportation charges. The growing gap between demand and supply has led to continued increase in price of meat. Poultry farming has also decreased in Namakkal, Palladam areas as feed prices have gone up."
Beef, once the cheapest of options, has become costly now. The restrictions on transportation have also affected the trade, wholesale traders said.
The escalating feed cost and spread of diseases among livestock in Andhra Pradesh is the main reason for the rise in egg prices. Mohan Reddy, Chennai zone chairman, National Egg Coordination Committee, said on an average, the city consumes about 55-60 lakh eggs a day. "The price of some of the feed such as soya and maize has gone up by 50 – 75 per cent in the last few months. Farmers who suffered huge loss have cut down on production by 10-15 per cent in the State," he said.
Once winter is over, transportation of eggs to north India, where consumption is high, would be suspended.
This would bring down price marginally in the next few months, he added.

Gorn minefield action - As if!

# 16
I seriously did the latter half of Gorn Minefield solo just the other day. Honestly I think I could have done the whole thing solo it just would have taken a lot longer. I will say that being in the Defiant retrofit with the cloak was instrumental, because I could cloak and fly around the asteroids unharmed to find one with a ship that needed rescue. With my skill loadout (CSV3 and TSpr2) I was able to pretty much take out an entire "wing" of fighters with one volley so I'd just liberate the freighter and then try to get away to cloak again or just die and respawn.
Started with 4 others, we spent a lot of time randomly killing swarms of vishap fighters until I figured out what I had do. Teammates weren't doing much of anything (kept getting tangled in swarms of fighters) so I moved on myself to the frigates. Killed a number of those, eventually my teammates came and killed a few of those. When we were at about 30/36 frigates killed they had all quit so I killed the last 6 on my own, then moved on to battleships and mines. Those weren't hard at all since most battleships you can find flying solo, they were easy to take out 1v1. The trick there was just to fly past the minefield to find the lone battleships, and not the ones mixed in with the frigates. The final boss wasn't too bad he killed me once after I had got his hull down to 50%, and when I died he reset and got all his health back. But the second try I destroyed the torpedo platform hear him, and then solo'd him down without much difficulty. Got the 1st place trophy (obviously)- and well earned too since I did >half the mission by myself, and my teammates hardly did jack when they
there. They probably only rescued about 3/10 freighters and only killed maybe 10 frigates before they all quit. Oh and don't forget they were very polite by making sure to hit "need" for any loot that dropped but hardly contributed to the mission as well.
In all I think it took me an hour to an hour and a half from beginning to end.
But holy crap- I have never seen so many ships in STO before. I wonder how it would be flying that mission in my sci ship with grav well iii.

SUDBURY — The people of Sudbury have spoken, and the town elementary school will continue to teach all 20 students it serves.
Residents voted 110-39 to keep the k-6 Sudbury Country School open on Monday night following a two-hour information meeting held by the Sudbury school board. The vote was scheduled after a petition was presented to the board on Oct. 11 asking voters to consider shuttering the school due to falling enrollment and tuitioning students to other area schools.

MONTPELIER — Patti Casey traces her musical inspiration back to her teenage years, when she watched folk acts like Banjo Dan take the dusty stage at Addison County Fair and Field Days.
"At the time, I was star struck," she said.
CHARLOTTE — Three Mexican farm workers who earlier this month complained to the Vermont Department of Labor that a Charlotte dairy farm hadn't paid them have found new jobs at an Addison County farm.
Cheryl Connor, co-convener of the Addison County Migrant Farm Worker Coalition, said that there has been an outpouring of community support for the three workers, who filed a claim for $4,494 in unpaid wages in recent months from their former employer, dairy farmers Robert Jr. and David Mack of Charlotte.
MONTPELIER — Governor-elect Peter Shumlin has tapped two Addison County residents to be part of a leadership team that will help him confront such challenges as jumpstarting the state's economy, developing a long-term energy plan and making new strides in health care reform.
The following six questions, along with a requested word limit, were asked of each local candidate for the Vermont House and Senate.
The questions are not repeated in the context of each candidate's response, but are recalled by subject at the beginning of each answer.
Election Day is Nov. 2.
WILLISTON — For the past six years, Rep. Steve Maier has been helping shape the state's health care reform policy from the Statehouse chambers.
The Middlebury Democrat will now implement that policy in line with the new state job he officially started on Monday: The Department of Vermont Health Access's (VHA) "Health Care Reform - Health Information Technology Integration Manager."
"I'm pretty excited to get started," Maier, 54, said during a phone interview during his first day on the job with the VHA.
CROWN POINT, N.Y. — Last Thursday afternoon, two Vermont men were involved in a fatal boating accident on Lake Champlain.
New York State Police reported that on Sept. 23, William Wright, 60, of Whiting was driving his 1991 Ranger fishing boat south on the lake at around 3 p.m. when he lost control of the boat near Crown Point. Both Wright and his passenger, William Brown, 60, of Cuttingsville were thrown from the boat.
ALBANY, N.Y. — Garland "Chico" Martin, a Bristol Planning Commission member and Bristol Elementary School director, is recovering from injuries he sustained in a serious, one-vehicle crash near Comstock, N.Y., on Aug. 20.
ST. ALBANS — Given the state's fiscal challenges, his four primary opponents aren't being realistic in what they are telling voters, according to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Doug Racine.
"I think they're living in campaign land, which says, nothing bad can ever happen with a $100 million deficit. We can fix it without it costing us anything at all. There's too much of it in Washington," Racine said.
BURLINGTON — In the Democratic primary race for state auditor against Sen. Ed Flanagan, private entrepreneur Doug Hoffer, 59, poses one question for Democratic voters: "Which of us is better able to beat (incumbent and Republican) Tom Salmon?"
That single question has made Democrats, Progressives and Independents around the state take notice of his candidacy and his credentials.

This is a split board - You can return to the Split List for other boards.
How often do you upgrade?
- Back To:
- Board List

- Topic Archived
just curious how often people here upgrade their system?
Me personally i upgrade one major component at least once a year. This year i upgraded from 2 GTX 670's to the 2 GTX 780ti's. Also bought a bigger SSD which i haven't installed yet. Also have a i7 sitting on my desk that has yet to be installed... have to update motherboard to use it and this certain motherboard has been known to brick upon doing a bios update from what i hear.
I usually buy the newest iphones released every year and resell them on ebay to fund my rather expensive pc habits. I sold 2 gold Iphone 5s this year for close to 2000 bucks... Yeah it's on contract so i have my serviced renewed and everything but my brother in law owns a cellphone shop and i get what ever phone i want extremely cheap anyways so im not stuck with something ancient lol.
So what are your purchasing and upgrading habits?
i5 2500k 4.5GHZ OC, 32GB DDR3, PNY GTX 780TI SLI, MSI P67A-GD55 Mobo, 128GB SSD, Barracuda Green 1.5TB HDD updating to i7 shortly
Xbox live: tanis8585
Still rocking Phenom II since 2012. Replaced faulty ram from 4GB to 8GB.
GPU was upgraded to HD 7870 from GTX 460 last year.
So I guess I upgrade my parts every year as well, but the CPU+motherboard+Case+powersupply will be upgraded every 4~5 years as I see fit.
Just because you think it is right, it doesn't make it right for everyone. Even you.
You're being trolled only if you let them.
I just upgrade based on need.
Sometimes that means I can use the same components for a long time. Some times just one game leads me to replace a component.
However I never feel the urge to upgrade for the sake of upgrading if I am actually still satisfied with the way my current hardware runs the game I am interested in playing. Typically that means that newer games should play at 1920x1080 resolution at about 40-70 frames per second on medium to high settings.
I5 3570 | GTX 760 | FILCO Majestouch 2 tenkeyless | Zowie EC1 Evo White | Asus Xonar DGX | Kingston 120 GB SSD | Sennheiser HD 518 | Samsung S24A350H
CPU is about every 4 years because of all the components in your PC the CPU ages the slowest. Assuming you didn't cheap out and buy a crap one to begin with. The GPU I upgrade annually because they age the fastest of all your components and I just sell off my old ones and put that money towards a new set.
When the 880 Ti comes out I'm gonna sell both of my 780 Ti's for them.
Until my PC dies or cant play new games. Still rocking my GTS 450 or whatever its called.
Chivalry: Medieval Warfare is the best PC game of 2012.
Ride till it dies.
Stealth brag topic
7.3 GHz Intel i9 7770k "Hollow Tree" / 64GB TDR4 RAM / GTX Titan 5 GK330 "Daghlian" Chipset, Dodeca-SLI
When my pc struggles to play something I really want to play, which has not happened for a while
WC i5 2500k @ 4.4 ghz, 2x GTX 670 DirectCU II, Samsung 830 128GB SSD, 16GB G.Skill 1600 DDR3, Zalman 1000W PSU, Cosmos 1000 Case, HP LP3065 @ 2560 x 1600 IPS
i5 2500k @ 4.4ghz
8gb ram
I have not found a reason to upgrade since I got the 670 a year ago and running on almost 3 years now for the 2500k.
I pretty much updgrade as needed. I build a new system about once every 3 or 4 years and do some incremental updgrading as needed. I keep my two most recent systems for inviting friends over. For instance I build the followinf system back in 2006 or 2007:
1 TB Hard Drive
By the time I built my current system it contained
1 TB Hard Drive + 2 Raptor X 160 GB Hard Drives in a Raid 0
My Current System which replaced that one is
2 x Radeon HD 6870 2 GB
2 x 4 TB Hard Drives and 2 X 1 TB Hard Drives
I do a full system overhaul when I need to upgrade the CPU. I am looking to get another 2 years out of my current system by upgrading the graphics cards this year. I try to stick to good price-performance ratio parts, but don't ever buy hardware that's completely out of date at the time of purchase. Otherwise it won't last long enough to make the savings worth while.

Council tables decision on Crown Ridge rezoningPublished 11:00pm Tuesday, February 12, 2013
At the start of the Selma City Council meeting, the council held a public hearing for the re-zoning of the Crown Ridge neighborhood in Ward 2 off of Old Marion Junction Road. Following the public hearing the council tabled the issue, and will vote on it at a later time.
Members of the public were allowed to address the council as to why they oppose the construction by Speir Land Company of smaller garden homes in one portion of the neighborhood. One member said in the hearing that there are 22 homes in the current subdivision and she has a petition against the garden homes with 13 signatures.
Three residents from Crown Ridge are who spoke against the new development, cited property value depreciation as the reason for their stance against the garden homes.
"The impact of this project is going to be a negative appraisal value on the existing homes not just in Crown Ridge and the people across the street, but what about in Lansdowne? What about the people in Castlewood and all of the homes along Old Marion Junction Road?" resident of the area, Phyllis Gosa said to the council. "If we start doing this today, the image of that neighborhood and that area will go into decline. That will ultimately affect the amount generated from tax revenue from property taxes."
But land owner and developer of the project, Harold Speir said this is his eighth neighborhood development in town and the addition of 26 to 32 garden homes all sitting on roughly 6.5 acres of land in Crown Ridge will not depreciate homes.
"We are not asking for smaller homes, we are asking for smaller lots. So there is less maintenance with the same size house," Speir said. "Because that is what people are looking for — maybe older people who want to retire or people who do not want the maintenance of a yard."
The garden homes are planned to be 1,600 feet each and current homes in Crown Ridge range from 1,600 feet to 2,000 feet, according to one resident.
Executive Director of the Selma-Dallas County Chamber of Commerce, Sheryl Smedley, said she is in favor of the new development.
"Currently we have 5,200 people that commute into our community everyday to work. We have 3,000 people that live in Dallas County that their income is $60,000 or more," Smedley said. "I get requests everyday asking why don't we have an Applebee's, why don't we have an O'Charleys, why don't we have an Outback Steakhouse? These developers want to come to our community, but there is criteria. One of the criteria is median household income."
Smedley said she feels commuters would be more likely to live in Selma if there were more housing options, which would in turn increase average incomes.
"These people are making the kind of income that we need to be able to show developers that, yes, we can support those ventures in our community, Smedley said. "We don't have adequate housing available here, that's why we are losing them to our neighboring communities such as Prattville."

NEW YORK — If shoppers don't show up in stores soon, more "70 percent off" sale signs will.
After a promising start to the holiday shopping season over the four-day Thanksgiving weekend, sales have slowed, according to an analysis of data done for The Associated Press by sales tracker ShopperTrak. Worries about weak U.S. job growth and other concerns are likely to blame for Americans spending less.
That puts pressure on J.C. Penney, Macy's and other stores, which had been offering fewer discounts this season than last year, to step up promotions to lure shoppers such as Ron Antonette from Long Beach, Calif.
Antonette has spent about half of what he planned to spend during this holiday season on gifts such as Legos, a Wii U game console and Apple's iPad Mini tablet computer for his two young children. Antonette stopped shopping after spending $1,000 over fears that Congress and the White House won't reach a budget deal by January. A stalemate would trigger tax increases and spending cuts known as the "fiscal cliff."
"I basically stopped moving forward in buying," said Antonette, 44, who runs a small public-relations business and worries that he might not be able to take mortgage deductions on his house next year. "I feel like we're in financial limbo."
Wal-Mart Stores chief executive Mike Duke said Tuesday in New York that a recent poll of shoppers at the world's largest retailer found that an overwhelming majority are aware of the threat of higher taxes.
Overall, holiday sales are up 2.2 percent to $659 billion from Nov. 1 through last Saturday, ShopperTrak said.

I am just beginning my genealogical search and was told by several family members that we are of Italian descent. My family's last name is Cope, which if my family is correct about our past, I would assume has been changed from Copa/o or something similar.
Has anyone else heard of the name Cope coming from Italy?
I have checked other sites and found the name Cope originating from the province of Tuscany.
I have always had a passion for genealogy, but I don't have any family records, so I am kind of starting from scratch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
