Marble sculptures may have been a feature of Roman villas but the height of decorating the garden with statues was reached during the Victorian era. As the United Kingdom became the wealthiest country on Earth, well to do British families filled extensive gardens with exquisite sculptures. Stone garden angels, impressive statues of lions, and hundreds of other beautiful sculptures were displayed on the grounds of manicured estates. While filling the garden with statues during Victorian days was limited to the wealthy, at present times, garden sculptures are so affordable that just about anyone can turn their backyard into an elegant Victorian garden. Follow these three tips for a backyard that rivals the majesty of any Victorian era garden:
- Put several classic garden statues on display: Classic sculptures of deities and creatures from Greek myths were a common feature of Victorian gardens. Display beautiful statues such as Hebe, the Goddess of Youth and an authentic replica of the Venus de Milo to give your garden an elegant touch.
- Include a stone garden angel or two: Get an angel statue like the Glory del Cielo sculpture to add classic, angelic beauty to the backyard.
- Buy one or more stone lion sculptures: Lions were displayed in Victorian gardens because they are a sign of nobility, power, and majesty. Give your backyard a noble look with the Lion Of Florence Sentinel Statue.
It becomes that much easier to turn your backyard into a Victorian garden for the next seven days because you get 20% off the regular price of all resin garden statues from today until April 11th as part of our Pre-Season Garden Statues Sale!

Cat Mummy
Mummies of animals, the most numerous type of artifact from ancient Egypt, number in the millions. The animals mummified represented a god or goddess, such as the cat belonging to the goddess Bastet or the ibis belonging to the god Thoth. Some animal mummies contained a papyrus with a request to the god written on it. Animals were mummified using the same techniques as with humans.

Note - this is not the same as a well established member posting a link to a site that they own that sells things - for example Mad Collector and chillicamper.
We also tolerate people posting to advertise Discworld related things such as plays etc.
I do not consider posting a smiley as spam. Sometimes a smiley says exactly what you want to say. For example; you don't need to write "that's very funny and I'm laughing out loud when you can just post this -->
As Q says there is commercial spam which we don't tolerate and then there are trolls - thankfully we've had very few of those here.

Re: KoRn dont want David...
Ray is a better drummer and less of a douche. Best wishes to David but he needs to move on with his life. He will never be back in Korn and I'm glad.
Re: KoRn dont want David...
Best wishes to David indeed. I completely agree that he needs to move on. It'll be good for him and Korn. He could do great things with Infinka if he'd let himself.

text: Rguns kit, built somewhat on the cheap with a fully heat treated Polish blank and rails from Dark Knight. Not quite historically accurate, but the blank was still a great blank canvas (forgive the pun) and I was able to get all necessary dimensions off the original stubs. Definitely took awhile to turn that blank into a sidefolder receiver, and do it right. Came out pretty darn good. Installed a homemade faux suppressor, drilled and plug welded just behind the threads. Brings it up to about 17" barrel length. Wish I had gotten one of these sooner. (Thanks Patrick!!)

Canadian MMA pioneer Kristof Midoux took Georges St-Pierre under his wing when the UFC welterweight champion was only 16, and has served as a mentor since. In a GSP-exhorte-a-se-retirer.php">long interview with La Presse, Midoux says he hopes GSP retires in the ring Saturday night following the fight with Johny Hendricks, and thinks that he might.
"Me, I told him 'after this one, it's over! Shine on that night. Finish that dude in front of everyone. Shut your detractors up. If you finish that guy, if you knock him out, then you'll be free, you'll be happy to take the microphone and to say that you're done. To say that you are giving your place to others,'" said Midoux.
"I told him 'finish well, Georges, and have the courage to take the microphone and to thank everyone.' Those who won't understand are those who have nothing to understand. They're selfish. It's time for him to think about himself. It's the greatest gift he can give to himself. He could take advantage of what life has to offer and start a family."
Is there a chance that St-Pierre will take his advice and give his farewell on Saturday in the middle of the Octagon?
Midoux says "yes."
"Personally, I'd love for it to happen like that," said Midoux. "I'd really like for him not to make the same mistake that so many fighters have made. I wouldn't want him to go on until he's 35 years old. He has plans.
"I told him to be selfish. It's not true that you can have a family and children and remain at the highest level of the sport. He took my advice. If Georges really wants to start a family, he'll have to do it after his career. At 32 years old, the time is right for him to do that. People want to see him in the cage until he's 40, but at 40, he'll be a has-been with no wife and no kids."
On top of starting a family, Midoux explains that St-Pierre would like to open a martial arts school.
"He talked about it the other day," said Midoux. "I told him to focus on Hendricks and that we'd talk about it after the fight."
St-Pierre appears to have many plans - a family, a school. However, according to Midoux, he'd have another reason to announce his retirement on Saturday evening - to leave his place to his friend and training partner Rory MacDonald.
"Rory has the ability to become a champion," said Midoux. "Rory will never want to fight Georges because they're friends. So I told Georges, 'out of respect, don't keep that guy from climbing the ranks. You've had your career.'
"Shake his hand on Saturday evening and yield your place to him. You don't need this to life. Pass the torch to the next generation. Help Rory become a champion to show that Canadians dominate this weight class. It would be intelligent. It would be generous and Georges is generous."
Rick Story, only man to beat Johny Hendricks, helps St-Pierre prepare for UFC 167
"Firas Zahabi really wanted me to come train with Georges, and since I was the only person to beat Johny Hendricks, it makes sense that Firas was pretty persistent," Story told MMAjunkie.
Even though Hendricks has improved dramatically since his December 2010 loss to Story, "The Horror" was still able to share some fundamental advice with the reigning welterweight champion.
The most noteworthy of that advice? Put Hendricks on the defensive and make one of the sport's most devastating power punchers fight while moving backward.
"Take the fight to him," Story said of his advice to St-Pierre. "Johny has everyone backing up, and then if someone tries to get him to go backwards, Johny will take them down.
"I took the fight to Johny, that's the only difference, so that's what I emphasized."
With Story having his own fight scheduled against Brian Ebersole at UFC 167, the ability to train alongside St-Pierre and Tristar teammate Rory MacDonald, who also fights at the event, was a dream situation for the American.
Coming off a debatable split decision loss to Mike Pyle in his most recent outing, a victory Saturday is paramount for Story's job security with the promotion.
That's why he couldn't have been any happier about sharing one of the most important training camps of his career alongside a top pound-for-pound fighter.
"[Preparing together] just makes everything easier," Story said. "You don't have to choreograph different intensity between the rounds. You don't have to choreograph different time frames in the rounds. It really makes the training easy because we can pair up with each other and go at it."
While getting ready for his own fight is Story's top priority, he knows the main purpose of his time in Montreal was to benefit St-Pierre.
With 15 minutes of cage time against Hendricks and numerous training sessions with St-Pierre under his belt, the 29-year-old has a pretty strong grasp on what both men bring to the table.
So when asked how he thinks the fight will play out, Story obviously sided with his training partner, but also wasn't willing to dismiss the possibility of crowning a new welterweight champion at UFC 167.
"Anybody's got a chance when it comes to the fighting game, especially at the top level," Story said. "It only takes one punch, and Johny's been knocking everyone out. He's doing something right to get to where he needs to be – he's fighting against Georges for the title.
"As far as Georges' weapons and his athleticism and all his tools that he has in his box that he can pull out and use at any time, I really can see Georges winning the fight."

Barrow dad's distress as thieves steal hand-built £2k cycle
Last updated at 16:47, Friday, 07 December 2012
A DAD says he is being forced to walk for miles around Barrow after his £2,000 bike was stolen.
Carlos Fisher, 26, used to ride his grey, black and white GT Aggressor XC1 around the town to pick up his children from nursery and school.
Now the dad-of-five says he has been left burning shoe leather after the valuable mountain bike was taken from outside Tesco, in Hindpool Road, on Monday.
"Everywhere I go, my bike goes with me, it is my only mode of transport," said Mr Fisher, of Barrow.
However, the bike was stolen when Mr Fisher made the mistake of leaving it outside the store without a lock when he popped in for some groceries.
When he came out of the supermarket at around 4pm it had gone.
He said: "It is a two grand mountain bike. What wounds me is the fact that I built it myself.
"I bought bits here and bits there and put it together.
"I highly doubt I will get it back, you can always be hopeful, but it will probably be stripped down to parts or sent elsewhere now.
"It is Christmas and it is the worst time of year for this kind of thing. I am absolutely devastated."
The bike is described as having red and black tyres, white crank arms, red pedals, front and back mud guards and a black seat with a grey stripe. It also has red handlebar grips and Shimano shifters.
Anyone who believes they may have seen the bike or has any information about its theft can call PC Gareth Sargent on 101 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.

Have your say
Ifind these comments extremely rude, as it states on the description of this incident "hand built bike" it might be a gt aggressor XC.1 but it whats iv bought for it that counts.i paid for hope hydraulics, expensive rims, expensive forks, expensive tires, expensive bottom bracket etc etc, if anyone knew about biking here you would know about the costs of things, so those people stating im lying get your knowledge and facts on this before criticizing next time
Firstly leaving a bike unlocked anywhere is daft these days e en outside of Tesco but a "£2k" bike is just plain stupid......a GT Aggressor last time I looked is not worth anywhere near that much however......somebody is telling porkies here :-/

TALLAHASSEE— The Florida Legislature has passed the largest budget in state history, $74.5 billion, and it contains plenty of millions for the local region.
The Senate passed the budget unanimously Friday, while the House approved it on a 106-11 vote. All but one of the nay votes were Democrats.
"Reflecting Florida's improving economy, the budget makes strategic investments in education funding, economic development and our hard-working men and women in public service without increasing taxes … Florida will be able to live within its means, meet the critical needs of its citizens and continue to save and invest for the future," said Senate President Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, in a statement Friday.
Now the budget heads to Gov. Rick Scott for a signature and likely some line-item vetoing, which could put some area projects in jeopardy.
Gaetz noted earlier this week that it's all in the governor's hands, once the bill leaves the Legislature.
"The governor has the last laugh," he said.
One of the most prominent parts of the spending plan for the area is $14 million for a new STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) building at Gulf Coast State College. The building is estimated to cost a total of $23 million and be 70,000 square feet. That's money Gaetz fought to get in the budget. Early budget versions had only $300,000 for the building.
The Northwest Florida Water Management District also will receive $3 million for water quality improvement projects for the Apalachicola Bay. That money survived the Legislature's budget process. It was in the Senate's initially filed version, but not the House's. The money was also in the governor's budget.
State Sen. Bill Montford, D-Tallahassee, who represents that area, said he was going to fight to keep the money in the budget and hoped it would be a step toward restoring the bay. Several factors have depleted the bay's oyster population, crippling the county's economy.
"This is not just a North Florida issue; this is a Florida issue," he said in February, shortly after the governor unveiled his budget.
The Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport (ECP) will receive $500,000 out of the budget for its crosswind runway project. It's one of the first three projects named to receive funds out the $15 million in the budget allocated for economic development transportation projects.
The Bay County Health Department is set to receive $610,000 for its BayCare program, and the old Jackson County High School in Marianna will get $6 million for "building maintenance." Chipley, in Washington County, received $400,000 in non-recurring funds for "drinking water system improvements."
WaltonCounty, meanwhile, will see money for water projects, including $500,000 for a "coastal dune lakes environmental assessment," $3 million for a wastewater treatment facility, and $1 million for a water line extension along U.S. 98. The county's Mossy Head Industrial Park will also get $1.8 million for infrastructure.

The phrase "things aren't always as they seem" may have been inspired by the aftermarket performance world. Consider the term bolt-on. To the layman it implies that a part's installation requires no more than the mastery of simple hand tools. To the experienced, however, the ease of a part's installation is inversely proportional to the strength of the claim that it merely bolts on. As Blake Foster observed, "A lot of parts are bolt-on in the sense that bolts attach them to the car." To summarize his complaint, most of the time you end up having to make the parts fit the car or, worse yet, modify the car to fit the parts.
Blake's especially uncomfortable with the bolt-on claim because the company he co-owns, Speed Tech Performance, manufactures a number of high-performance chassis parts that boast the term. As he surmised, the best way he can prove it is to install his company's parts on a car that cannot be modified irreversibly.
Roger Maniscalco, another Speed Tech co-owner, has just a car. He bought his ponycar—this car to be specific—when it was at the trough of its value, so to speak. But what makes his '69 unique to him is that it's his first car. In fact, he was only 16 when he bought it in 1985. It's not like he can just sell it if he wants to take another direction down the line. It would be like selling a kid. No, something far more tragic: the dog.
So for a 12-month period Speed Tech used Roger's car as a test mule of sorts. For one, the techs tested the company's claims that the parts that it sold as bolt-on items did in fact install with simple hand tools. They based their findings on Speed Tech's Track Time kit, the subframe and rear suspension package that made the company's '72 Nova, ResurreXion, do so well at the Handling and Suspension Challenge hosted a few years ago by sister publication Super Chevy magazine.
The subframe assembly in Roger's car consists of the company's anti-roll bar, its specially tuned steering rack, and its gusseted-and-greasable tubular control arms. Pinned to those arms are lightweight forged-aluminum American Touring Specialties AFX spindles, which in turn mount C5 Corvette hubs. And yes, the whole deal lines right up with GM's body and core-support mounting bosses and attaches with simple bolts.
Speed Tech used the '82-02 F-body rear suspension as inspiration for a clean-sheet rear suspension design. A few very short welding runs deny it true bolt-on status, but the adjustability Speed Tech endowed the kit with makes it fit cars built by questionable '60s tolerances. The company configures the assemblies to use one of several OEM axle options, in Roger's case he opted for the Strange Engineering 12-bolt housing. It spins 3.73:1 gears on Strange's limited-slip gear carrier, which in turn drives 31-spline axleshafts. Needless to say, brackets welded to the axle make it bolt right in without fanfare.
Most dampers passed off as performance items are little more than the guts of inexpensive twin-tube units hidden in fancy looking housings. Not the Bilsteins on Roger's car. The monotube design offers a larger piston area, which permits a sophisticated deflective-disc valve network. That, in turn, offers greater control over a broader speed range than a smaller twin-tube design could ever dream of. That each damper is tuned for a specific application and that its damping rate varies with speed and road conditions renders external adjustments not just unnecessary but irrelevant. The ones on Roger's car feature threaded bodies for high-tensile coil springs and, naturally, bolt directly to the suspension assemblies.
Each corner of the car boasts a 14-inch slotted-and-drilled Baer rotor and six-piston caliper. Bolted to those are forged-center wheels machined specifically for Speed Tech. The 19x9 front wheels have a 6-inch backspace, the 20x12s rears have 77/8. The Nitto Invo tires measure 275/35-R19 and 345/35-R20.

In an enterprise, many system administrators need root privileges to perform various operations on Linux/Unix servers. Enterprises need to be able to provide a detailed audit trail for root activity, at an individual user level to meet regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley. This lack of an audit trail is increasingly flagged in audit findings. You need a solution to safeguard your super user privileges and provide keystroke level logging to prove compliance.

Explore the Entrepreneurship.org Resource Center to find resources. Designed with entrepreneurs in mind, our resource center allows you to find materials to grow great ideas.
As the Kauffman Foundation, the Partnership for a New American Economy and many others have repeatedly shown, immigrants make great entrepreneurs. We know that 40 percent of 2010's Fortune 500 companies were founded by new Americans. Immigrants start firms at rates much higher than natives.
Four U.S. Senators yesterday introduced Startup Act 2.0. This Bipartisan legislation, which combines two pieces of legislation that were introduced last year builds upon the original Startup Act and the AGREE Act, highlights four major components to jumpstarting the nation's economy
The Kauffman Foundation is in search of experts on high growth entrepreneurship policy to help create a global policy roadmap for advancing entrepreneurship. Weigh in with your thoughts on policies that facilitate entrepreneurship, ways to remove regulatory barriers for entrepreneurs, or any topic pertaining to global policy and entrepreneurship.
In the last few days, two big names have announced they aren't going to run for President. So what bearing does that have on the race for the White House in 2012? Here are five ways these non-announcements will have an impact on the race.
Americans are more dependent on the federal government than ever before. According to USA Today, 18.3 percent of the nation's total personal income was a payment from the government for Social Security, Medicare, food stamps, unemployment benefits and other programs in 2010. Much of this increase has come since 2008, mainly due to the expansion of healthcare and federal programs generally. Americans got an average of $7,427 in benefits last year, up from $4,763 in 2000. USA Today even breaks the data out by state, with New York leading the list.
They are larger than amazon and have more users than ebay. Yet, most Americans have never heard of them. But this company's implications for the global economy and the increase of human welfare to the world's poor hold vast potential.
I was shocked to learn that only 1 percent of American companies export their products. More shocking still, of those companies that export, 58 percent of those companies export to only one country.
Dear Mr. President, the nation's entrepreneurs are counting on you tomorrow night. Want to use your State of the Union speech to lay out a plan for real economic growth? Here's what you should say.
Last spring I profiled several entrepreneurs who were running for office. So now that the midterm elections are behind us and all the races have been decided, how did our entrepreneurs do?
Recently, the Oxford English Dictionary released its annual list of new words in the English language. I was struck by how the list reflects the current times in our country, not only in popular culture, but also in our current political and economic climate.

Warn the Estherians
Quest Briefing:
I think this is as far as I can go. You should carry on to the Estherian Enclave, but you're on your own.
Warn them that the Alchemist destroyed Torchlight, and is headed their way. He may be there already...
You should be able to see a star marker on your mini map. There is no main map and this is all you will be able to see thru the game. You have two more modes of map which show when you hit M. Your order of business is very simple - head towards the start marker and kill anything in your way whilst looting like a maniac. Head out of the camp here by going across the bridge to the right side. You'll come across your first enemies very very soon - some Ratlins. Kill them and keep going, you will also come across your first chests and loots so take everything. Since we're in the beginning, you will also level up really quickly so jsut head into your skills and points menus and distribute all of your points. Near the end where the star marker is, you will see a caravan with some guards defending it.
One of them asks for your help, just kill all of the creatures and talk to him to get a reward.
As you go ahead, there's a lane to the right, take it and you will find a GOLDEN CHEST here which is locked, you'll get a key later so for now just remember it's location -
Next, head to the exit of this area and you will come into the Esterian Enclave. Speak to the Eldrayn -
There's a lot of stuff to do here too, a couple of merchants and a fishing hole.
Protect the Guardian!
Quest Briefing:
Commander Vale believes that the Alchemist might attack the Wellspring Temple, In an attempt to reach the Guardian of Water... for what nefarious purpose I am afraid to speculate. There has been no word from either Vale, or the Guardian.
Scout the Wellspring Temple, and determine if the guardian of Water is in any danger. As you head to the exit, you'll come across a Vanquisher Scout who has a quest for you, this will be covered in the ACT-I side missions below the main missions part here. Once you are done here, go out to the Temple Steppes area. You'll face Skeletal Warriors among other things. You will also come across a LICH GRAVE. If you disturb it Kekrod comes out. Kill it and take the enormous loot he leaves behind -
Towards the right side of this place you will meet a woman near the entrance of The Corrupted Crypt who gives you The Scroll of Anom-Irek Quest. As you go to the star marker of the man quest, you'll come to the entrance of the TEMPLE STEPPS -
You'll come across new enemies here like the Runewalkers and Flwalkers among many others. The Warmakers are especially notorious. Whenever you come across a Warmaker, be very careful, concentrate on taking out their shields with powerful strikes first as soon as you see them. In this area you will also come across a BITTERSPRITE -
After you kill it, it drops a GOLDEN KEY for a Golden Chest - so you can use this on any locked golden chest you came across earlier or might come across in the future. You will then enter SKULL HOLLOW as you go further inside -
Here you will come across a sarcophagus of sorts -
As you keep killing the monsters which spawn around it, more spawn which are more powerful than the last ones. This keeps happening for a few turns and after you kill everything, there's some great loot for you. As you go to the right, you'll come across a SHADY CHARACTER who gives you the Bring Out Your Dead Quest. Continue to the right from here and you go thru an arch and if you are lucky, you might come across a PHASE BEAST somewhere around here -
If you kill it, a Phase Portal opens up -
Go thru the portal to get into a Phase Beast Challenge. There are various types of challenges. I got the one where you need to kill a Nethermancer first and then use a poison jar to close some spider nests which spawn around you. You will literally fight hundreds of spiders and they swarm you. Take some poison from the jar each time and go to a nest and close it. To avoid the spiders, stay away from the jar and let them come close to you, then run to the Jar. You'll win the challenge once you close all the nests and kill all the spiders.
Next, you will come into The Beast Warrens once you come out on top. Here you can complete The Warbeast Armory side quest. Finally, you will reach Wellspring Approach and then come to the entrance of the Wellspring Temple. Note that you need to be at least on level 10 to be able to get thru the place so if you are not yet on that level, complete some side quests and come back later.
Wellsprings Temple
The first floor is a small place and you will find some stairs in the end leading to a lower area. After you enter the lower area, you will face the Spar'dum. A unique monster which uses magic and teleports around you -
Once you kill it, you will reach the ethereal maze if you go down. The maze has three lever points. At each point there are two levers which change the locations of the blue boxes. Go around these three places and change them to be able to open a path to the left area where you find a chest. In essence, once you solve the maze, you will not be able to go into the left side area. You will need to use a portal scroll to head back to the Temple Stepps and then retrace your path back here and then go to the left area. After that, head up and to the next place. You might come across a named enemy - Kezanthak. There's still a long way to go but in the end you'll come to a place leading you to GENERAL GRELL-
21 04 38
Move inside a bit and face the monster -
General Grell
Grell is mostly a melee type so if you have ranged attacks then he goes down easy. Also, try not to spend too much time close to him even if you are a melee fighter. Move away and come back after healing or recovering mana. After you kill Grell, loot everything around here and speak to Commander Vale and the Guardian of Water -
Regroup at the Enclave
Quest Briefing:
Meet Vale at the Enclave.
Just get back to the Estherian Enclave and talk to Vale
Trail of the Grand Regent
Quest Briefing:
While Vale tries to gather supplies, you should head to Crows Pass and then to the Frosted Hills so that you can try to catch up to the Grand Regent before he enters the temple.
The path to Crow's Pass is to the top of the enclave -
Explore as much of Crow's Pass as you can. In the right top end of Crow's Pass you will come across some named enemies and in front of a dungeon named WIDOW'S VEIL, you see a woman asking for help - here you get the "Little Lost Ones" quest. The main quest end is nearby to the left. Keep going towards the marker and you should meet up with Elder Valin. Talk to him to complete the quest.
The Ember Keys
Valin gives you this quest as soon as you complete the last one.
Quest Briefing:
You need to find two Ember keys so that Valin can enter Watchweld in the old Estherian Refuge. Now, enter The Frosted Hills. There's a lot to do here - a lot to loot, a lot to kill and a lot to accomplish...
The Frosted Hills is really a very very large place with multiple dungeons. Make sure you explore every nook and corner of this area - this is going to be very important for your character. There's a waypoint a few paces from the entrance so you can come back here anytime you want to. As you go to the right you'll come to Wicker Grove where you might fight a named skeleton general - Earthcrusher -
Further to the right you'll come across some netherlings. Kill them and interact with the Estherian nearby. A sacrifice ceremony takes place summoning the Nether Brute -
Keep going to the right and up and you'll come across a caravan - help them to get a reward -
After you help them, talk to Lord Taldimut nearby and he gives you The Zeraphi Envoy side quest. As you progress straight above the caravan, you'll come across another person in front of the Icedeep Cavers -
Go left from here and you come across a Captured Estherian. Help him for a reward. There are more named enemies in this region. You'll come into the Estherian Refuge soon. Keep going and to the left side after a bit of walk is the Silver's Camp. Go inside the camp and kill everyone. Use the Flammable Lanterns on the huts to set them on fire -
In the center of this place is a Captured Estherian who mentions more prisoners inside the camp. Go to the entrance which is just in front of the burning hut in the middle and go in to come to the Slaver's Stockade -
As you come in, you'll face the Bandit Kings. Kill Kidrik the Mauler and he drops the first Ember Key -
You can go further inside the stockade and rescue all of the prisoners one of who is Malo -
Rescue Malo - he's a master enchanter. He'll be there when you get back to the Estherian Enclave. That's one key found. Also, you might come across another Bittersprite which gives you a Golden Key -
Enter the main area of the Emberscratch Minehead -
You'll find the Golden Chest in the beginning -
Keep going all the way in and to the entrance of the mines and continue inside -
The mines area is always blocked by rubble. Just click on the Powdered Kegs to blast your way thru the rubble. The mines area is a large labyrinth and you'll come across three Goblin Foremen, each of whom drop special items. If you go to the end of the mine (which will presumably take a ton of time), you come to King Pogg -
Kill Pogg to get the Keys - he's a frost user so it's wise to attack him from behind or from a distance if you can. Pogg is one tough customer. Try not to get caught in his large swings - he has a large area of reach in front of him. Pick up the Ember Keys after you kill him -
There should be a lot to explore inside the mines so try to go around each area to make sure you don't miss anything. Once you come out, head to the location of the two keyholes -
Place the two keys here and head into the portal which leads to the Temple.
Mission of Mercy
This mission begins directly after you complete the last mission. After you place the two keys in the slots, the portal to the temple opens up -
Enter the temple -
This place looks great and is very linear. The paths rarely branch and are all straight. You'll face a ton of Nether Realm creatures. If you go to the right and then down, you will come across a named enemy -
Keep continuing to the left where you will come across two Blood Monkeys which are named. I have no idea why they're here though.... just step in thru the stairs -
Move to the right and go down and you'll come Korubil a unique enemy -
Go to the right end and continue towards the top on the narrow path and you will find a secret room -
Kill the named enemy here and go back. Then go back a bit and downwards where you come to the Facegrinder -
The Facegrinder is a bit hard to kill if you plant yourself in one place. You might also come across an enchanter here. In the end you will reach the area leading to the Grand Regent -
The Grand Regent
This is the big boss battle which will end ACT-I so you should have an idea as to how bad it's going to get. Try to stock up on the health potions if you have'nt already and re-check your equipment, buy stuff if you need to and go in only if you are prepared for a long and hard battle -
Go thru the blue portal to the right -
Here comes the Regent -
Stay away from the Regent as long as possible. First kill everything else in the area while moving around the center. After everything is dead, unleash a series of powerful attacks on the regent. Go back if you can't keep up with him or are taking too much damage - try to revive your health and mana and then get back to work. This guy has a lot of health. After you kill him, move around the circle again and you'll meet the Guardian of the Wild -
22 28 04
Step in thru the portal...
Return to the Enclave
Onward to Zephyresh
Talk to the guardian and go back to the enclave thru the portal here. Then speak to the commander who asks you to talk to the railmaster when you are ready. If you have nothing else to do, just go ahead and talk to the master to get to Zephyresh -
ACT-I Side
The Warbeast Armory
You will meet A Vanquisher Scout in the Estherian Enclave who gives you this quest.
Quest Briefing:
If you are going out to the Temple Steppes, I could use your help. The Strumbeorn have set up a makeshift smithy here, and they have two Blacksmits making suits of armor for wild warbeasts they've captured.
These Strumbeorn seem to be working from the schematics, but they keep them under lock and key. Do you think you mght be able to get in there and grab the Armor Schematics?
Head out to the Temple Stepps where you will continue this quest. Once you are in the Beast Warrens area, go to the star marker and you will face a few beasts here like the Blackclaw and Stennbrun amongst others. Kill all of them and loot the chest to gain the schematics -
The Scroll of Anom-Irek
A woman standing outside The Corrupted Crypt gives you this quest.
Level 4-5
Quest Briefing:
Grand Regent Eldrayn wants someone to recover the Scroll of Anom-Irek stored in the crypt here. The Strumbeorn have already entered the crypt, and I have been unable to enter it. Can I ask you to attempt to retrieve the scroll?
Head into the crypt where you'll find and fight all kinds of undead and dead. Bleak Spirits, Zombies, Vile Gnashers, Pale Shamblers,
If you go to the right edge of the path here, you should find Fondo the Master -
Fondo is an Enchanter and you can make good use of him. In the other side of the dungeon you will come across named enemies which are tougher than the usual ones like - Balkh'gul. As you come to the end of this place, you'll find a lever, pull it and kill everything inside and continue on your path -
As you keep going, you'll come to an entrance leading to the FALLEN GUARDIAN. Head inside and somewhere in this part you will come across a FALLEN GUARDIAN -
Kill it and it will drop the Scroll as a part of the loot. Take the scroll back outside to end this -
Bring Out Your Dead
This quest is give to you by a Shady Character in the Skull Hollows area of the Temple Steppes.
Quest Briefing:
I got a proposition for you... a little 'I scratch my back, you scratch' yours' kind of a thing. There's a Rosemortis inside the Bone Gallery here which is guarded by the biggest Monstrosity I have ever seen! You'll have to convince the Estherian Spirits to open the Ghost Chains and then get Rosemortis away from that monster.
Go to the crypt to the left and disturb it. Kill everything that rises and the door opens up for you. Enter the Bone Gallery now -
The Bone Gallery is a large dungeon filled with all kinds of skeletons. There's no special loot here but there are a few Named Enemies. You will come across several doors which you can open by clicking on them. First, as soon as you enter the place, go to the left side to the end and go below to Mordrox -
Here, you will come to a portal -
Disturb the mysterious skeleton on the throne nearby and kill everything that shows and in a while, you will face Mordrox -
He ain't that tough but staying away from him does help. If you are a melee fighter then you might have a little trouble if you have not leveled up properly so be careful. Mordrox drops great loot after he's dead. Take the loot and go back to the surface and speak to the shady character to end the mission.
Ghosts of Plunder Cove
In the left bottom side of The Temple Stepps, you will come across a Fishermans Lamp. Hit it to make it glow and a ghost appears on a small boat -
Quest Briefing:
Olwin was betrayed by his companions and Captain Willy. You need to take revenge for him in Plunder Cove.
As soon as you stop talking to Olwin, a portal to Plunder Cove opens up nearby -
Go into Plunder Cove and look above to find the body of Chester Copperpot and the other eye of one eyed Willy. You'll probably fight some named monsters on your way in. The path is very long and treacherous. Just keep going and in the end you will come to One-Eyed Willy, kill him and take his stuff -
A portal opens nearby leading back to the surface.
Little Lost Ones
This quest is given to you by Bellethe who is standing infront of Widow's Vale in the right top side of Crow's Pass.
The Veil is filled with all kinds of spiders - as you might have guessed from the name. There are also a few named spiders which boost your renowned status, like the Earth Lord -
There's only one path to follow. In the end you come across the Winter Widow -
This spider is tough so try to keep your distance and wear any kind of Ice Armor you have so that the effects of frost are decreased. It also uses acid spray so try to attack it from the back if you can. Past where you fight the Widow, you'll find Finnas, talk to him and return to Bellethe.
The Zeraphi Envoy
As you go thru the Frosted Hills, you'll come across a Zeraphi Envoy which is headed by Lord Taldimut -
Quest Briefing:
Search the Frosted Hills for - Crest of Pools, Crest of Rivers, and Crest of Tides.
You'll come across all three crests inside some domes - you need to open the gates and then a chest inside them to get the crest -
In the area to the bottom right of the Emberscratch Mines -
Get back to the Ambassador for your reward.
The Lost Key
The Zeraphi Ambassador gives you this quest after you complete the last one. This is very short and simple. Just head into the location of the Wispering Caves which is nearby -
You ought to be able to find the LOST KEY inside -
You will also face the Shadebreaker -
That's about it. Just get back to the convoy and return the gear which you found.
Taking Notes
Just above where you meet the Zeraphi Ambassidor, you come to a dungeon called Icedeep Caverns. Speak to the scholar outside to get this quest -
Quest Briefing:
This is the Alchemist's lair. I have found one of his journals just at the entrance. Finding the rest of the journals will help in stopping him.
Head into the caves -
You'll be facing a few named enemies inside, so be very careful while moving around -
Go towards the left. In this area you face new enemies called Clavenhoofs which are really tough and each of them can take you out if you don't pay attention -
Keep going and you will come to the entrance of Chillhoof -
The entrance is not easily found and you will have to move around a lot and kill a lot of enemies before you can get here. You will face two named enemies in here. One is normal and the other is Chillhoof -
Try to move around a lot to avoid getting cluster screwed. Try to isolate each enemy and take them on one by one. After you kill the first set of enemies, Chillhoof shows up. It will freeze you so try to put on some freeze armor or something like that. Also, don't stay directly in front of Chillhoof or you'll get slowed and then attacked upon. If you move around enough, you will be okay. Once you kill it, read all the three notes around here and get out thru the portal -

Ernest S. Sterling Student Life Center
The Ernest S. Sterling Student Life Center (SSLC) is the epicenter of campus life here at TSU. Students from all over the university converge on this part of campus to engage in the unique social, cultural ( And yes, even educational!) activities at one of Texas's premiere HBCUs. Located on the famous Tiger Walk, the Student Center is home to the Student Government Association (SGA), University Program Council (UPC), Herald Newspaper, Tiger Yearbook, Office of Campus Organizations, TSU Cheerleaders, and Student Activities administrative offices.
TSU's philosophy on the role of Student Activities is best articulated by its Director Mr. Shannon Broussard: "Student activities is not extra-curricular but co-curricular." Student Life Center staff and students know that the events/programs sponsored under the auspices of Student Activities give students the opportunity to implement their ideas in a creative, practical, learning environment.
On any given day, students can be found socializing with classmates, fraternity brothers/sorority sisters, or just plain old friends in the lobby, game room, or in front of the SSLC building. Student organizations sponsor events in the Student Center that range from educational seminars to autograph signings of up and coming Hip Hop and R&B artists.
Also located in the Student Life Center are the Sodexho Food Services, Folette Bookstore, the Copy Center as well as Barber & Beauty Services. In addition to student and university functions, the Student Center provides meeting, event, and conference spaces at competitive prices to the public and private entities.
TSU's Student Activities department maintains membership in the American College Union International (ACUI) and National Association of Campus Activities (NACA) professional associations.

Word has it that Brewers manager Ned Yost is not thrilled with the Angels these days. It seems that Yost was upset the Angels only sent one regular (Howie Kendrick) to Thursday's game at the Brewers' home park. Never mind that Ervin Santana started and Francisco Rodriguez and Darren Oliver came on in relief in Thursday's game. After that game, Yost was overheard telling his starters they wouldn't be going to Tempe today. So here is the Brewers lineup for today's game: Hernan Iribarren 2B, Ozzie Chavez SS, Ryan Braun 3B, Mike Rivera C, Gabe Gross DH, Brady Clark RF, Vinny Rottino 1B, Tony Gwynn Jr. CF and Drew Anderson LF.
Not sure the Angels really care about the Brewers watered-down lineup. (Is that redundant?) And hey Ned, thanks for sending over Tony Gwynn's kid. It'll be nice to see how he compares to his pops at this stage of his development.

Hi Neowinians!
I have run into a bit of a situation - i am a semi-admin for a small family business (of about 5 people or so). We have recently gotten someone in to design some software for us, and for "security reasons" he suggests installing an Antivirus on the server (specifically SBS 2008).
Currently the server is used as a file server (network shares) and will be used with exchange (2007). It hosts no externally visible web pages (only the local intranet page) and its only externally visible is a (fully updated) RDP server for admin tasks only (that is, its not running RDP for general use). I perform no tasks on it, and someone would log onto it every few months - tops. Only people who are 'tech savvy' have access to the server - and it has UAC on it. As i said, we're a small company, so we're not going to get any directed 'hate attacks', we have no published IP/DNS record. Windows firewall is configured, a hardware firewall (NAT/SPI) is in place, and all clients connecting (via VPN) have AV.
General consensus on the net seems to be to install an AV for the server - however it all seems to be knee-jerk justifications "install AV for securitieeez", without providing an actual reason. I mean i understand it WILL be more secure as it can't make it worse...but i mean, what is the actual attack vector for a virus to a server? It seems like a big overhead for our server, which will already struggle with Exchange (8GB of DDR2 RAM and a 2.66Ghz Core 2 Quad).
What do people think?
Thanks for any advice =)

Anti-teacher freeloaders
Full disclosure time. I am a proud teacher and a very proud union member. I realize that that's a double whammy for a lot of you out there. Teachers have been demonized. Unions have been demonized. Sadly, a lot of folks have bought into that process — probably without thinking much about it. To be sure, public school teachers and union members pose a threat to the political agenda of some very rich and powerful people. As such, my profession is subjected to constant attacks by those for whom a good public education is problematic. With the help of Frank Foster, Greg McMaster, Howard Walker, and other enemies of public education, Gov. Rick Snyder, under the direction of the Mackinac Center, has systematically worked to defund public education and to attack the Michigan Education Association. I see one of the governor's favorite solutions, the Educational Achievement Authority (EAA), as an unmitigated disaster for our state. Fraud, corruption, and darn little achievement have marked this controversial effort to steal local control of schools from parents and communities.
In spite of its failures, the Republican-controlled legislature is looking to expand the EAA into even more districts. The voice of the people is systematically being silenced, and not in the effort to achieve anything positive for the children of this state. With the muzzling of local voices comes an expansion of private solutions which create tremendous profits for those with access to the Governor. And, like it or not--the First Amendment or not—more and more religion will be forced down our children's throats as Dick Devos, the Oxford Foundation, and the Mackinac Center redesign "public" education to meet their personal financial and religious goals.
That's my full disclosure. I am a staunch enemy of the enemies of public education. While there are flaws in what is surely the foundation of our democracy, that flawed system is still our best bet to protect the interests of we, the people.
So when the Mackinac Center began its campaign during the last month to encourage teachers to drop their union membership, I wasn't surprised. I have talked about the Mackinac Center and I have successfully shown how they are not a legitimate non-partisan think tank. I have debunked all of the Mackinac Center's claims to being non-partisan. I called them out on having never published an article in a peer-reviewed journal. And their response claimed that all of their work is peer-reviewed. And, like disgraced 1988 presidential candidate Gary Hart, knowing they were lying, they challenged all of us to check them out. I did. And of course, the only reviewing done of Mackinac Center work is by employees or contractors of the Mackinac Center itself. I believe they are intellectual frauds and no one outside of their philosophical circle takes them seriously.
What did surprise me is that the Mackinac Center is using tax subsidies and postage subsidies to finance their attack on public education and teaching. Isn't this the "free market" champion that rejects "freeloaders" in our system? And yet on a mail piece sent to teachers last month, they asked us to help pay the postage by using a nonprofit mailing permit. The U.S. government allows legitimate nonprofits to mail at cheaper rates to aid in their fundraising and other activities, but this privilege is expressly denied for political causes. Now how the Midland Postmaster allowed this mailing to go out is a question he'll have to answer, but it sure seems to me like the Mackinac Center is not following either the letter or the spirit of the rules governing nonprofit organizations.
Earlier in the month they used public school emails to send a commercial message to teachers urging them to quit the union. This is the same Mackinac Center that persuaded our GOP-dominated state legislature to ban schools from collecting union dues because it cost those schools money to do the collection. (This, of course, is false, since all payroll is electronic anyway, but Frank Foster and the rest of the GOP caucus aren't really ones to let the facts get in the way of a good union attack.) Instead, the Mackinac Center used public school employee time by using the Freedom of Information Act to acquire teacher emails.
In what seems to me to be a clear violation of the rules governing IRS code 501(c)3 organizations, the Mackinac Center is actively promoting political positions with our tax dollars. If you're as fed up with them as I am, I urge you to get on the IRS website and file Form 13909 documenting the Mackinac Center's violations of their tax-exempt status. Again, I have no problem dealing with the hypocrisy and intellectual fraud propagated by the Mackinac Center. I do have a problem with them using my tax dollars to promote their agenda. And so should you.

A word about Market Theory in Education
As we descend--and let's make no mistake about it, it is a descent--deeper into this market-based approach to education/public schooling (i.e. for profit on-line learning options and for profit charter schools), we need to remember that efficiency models (market theory) create winners and losers. Even if competition and choice drive an overall improvement in quality (something many local school districts have seen with the emphasis on choice (AP, IB, CSI, dual enrollment, early college, etc.) in recent years, "that improvement has been (predictably) inequitable and the overall gains have come (to an extent) at the expense of the further diminishment of opportunities and attainment for the most disadvantaged students" (Lubienski's "The Public School Advantage: Why Public Schools Outperform Private Schools").
It seems, that while our speciality programs (AP, IB, CSI, dual-enrollment, early college enrollment, etc.) have benefitted high achievers and the academically advantaged, they have isolated low-achievers and (unsurprisingly) have widened the achievement gap. In short, institutionalizing this market-based approach (even at just the local level) has created winners and losers--as it always does.
This has been reflected by the growing achievement gaps between the highest and lowest performing students within even affluent districts like Troy, Birmingham, and Grosse Pointe. That this achievement gap between students within a school or district is being mirrored statewide between schools in disadvantaged districts (that have since been invaded by the EAA) was an inevitability given the free market model being promoted by our Governor and Legialature. It is precisely what free markets do: they create winners and losers.
So the real issue is whether or not we--as constituents--want an educational system that institutionalizes inequality and disparity of opportunity. If you prefer the current market-based approach, you are voting for an inequitable system that will determine a large percentage of kids, schools, and districts losers so that a few (already advantaged) students, schools, districts can be declared winners. If you prefer the traditional public school model, then you are voting for a system in which a local community of children, families, teachers, and district leaders works to maximize students' potential.
I vote for the latter.
Who is REALLY Responsible?
I'm so tired of the attack on teachers. Agreed, the political machine is out of control. Ask them to do our job at our pay for 1 school year. If they still think it's all good, I'll listen and engage in a conversation of the state of education. Otherwise, they need to get off their high horse and get real.
Here's my simple but I think effective thought. If you work in a factory making a pencil and you receive faulty wood, broken lead, torn erasers, and miscolored paint but were expected to produce a quality pencil, what would you do? Easy, go to the people who sent you the faulty parts and tell them to send you the right product so you can make a quality pencil. Why then are we blaming teachers when the product they receive is broken, torn, or any other way that's not prepared to be a quality learner? Shouldn't we be blaming the place where the faulty parts come from? Why aren't we looking at parents? That's how we will clean up our low scores and lack of student learning. Please send me a child who respects adults, does their work, and works at their best. If you can't do that, stop blaming me when they fail.
Form 13909
Just completed and e-mailed Form 13909 to the IRS. Using the information from the article and looking up a couple pieces of information about Mackinac Center, I was able to complete it very quickly. I urge others to do the same!
It has been done before....
This was tried 2 years ago, and apparently it failed because they continue to be identified as nonprofit. I will complete a form and send it in as well.
Public School Reform
Mac Center is a red herring. We need real reform. A radical change to the system where public school parents must pay a portion of their child's educational cost. Parents will become more involved if they have financial skin in the game. Expand school of choice to allow parents to send kids to any school in their county and run districts at the county level. Shut down poorly adminstered school when school population drops below sustainable levels.

Axsium Group Illustrates Value of Optimized Workforce for Manufacturers in Latest White Paper
Toronto, ON, August 27, 2008 -- Axsium Group, Inc., North America's leading Workforce Management (WFM) consulting firm, announced today the availability of a whitepaper that discusses critical areas of optimization for manufacturers, specifically related to workforce and labor management. This whitepaper, titled, Enterprise-Wide Workforce Management: The Next Strategic Initiative for the Manufacturing Industry, is available for download at http://www.axsiumgroup.com/resources.html.
As organizations continue to face the challenges of succeeding in a globally integrated world, they look to the workforce to help differentiate themselves from their competition. Enterprise-wide WFM offers significant opportunities to reduce labor costs, enhance compliance, increase productivity and report more accurately on product costing.
"Many manufacturers recognize the benefits of an enterprise WFM solution, but are unsure of where to begin or how to yield the greatest return on investment," said Tim Lett, Managing Partner, Axsium Group. "These organizations are under constant pressure to produce stellar results within ever-tightening constraints. Improving labor effectiveness is critical to increasing productivity, improving responsiveness and being resilient to shifts in the marketplace. This white paper is based on our experience and success with a number of Fortune 100 manufacturers and offers insight for companies of all sizes." This whitepaper is the most recent addition in a series encouraging readers to think holistically about enterprise WFM. Based on Axsium Group's extensive experience engineering and implementing enterprise WFM solutions, these free whitepapers strive to simplify a number of complex WFM subjects, enabling organizations to simultaneously drive down labor costs and increase productivity and customer satisfaction.

JR: What is he doing out here? He is just sour that Austin Aries beat him for the WWE Title, after nobody could do it for four months doesn't mean he is invincible!
*Chris Jericho instantly comes out in a trademark jacket, mic in hand, and he instantly goes to speak*
Jericho: Nickleback? You've just won the WWE Championship, the biggest thing you're ever going to win in your career, for the one and only time you're ever going to win it, and your idea of a celebration is to have Nickleback play here live? How unambitious. How.... mediocre. The mere fact that you want Nickleback to play at your celebration goes to show the ambition you have as champion Aries.
*the crowd boo as Jericho has climbed the steel steps and steps between the ropes*
Jericho: First of all, I may not like you Aries, I may not even think that you are on my level, but I can acknowledge when I've had a 5 star match. And at the Great American Bash, you and I put on a 5 star match.
*the crowd surprisingly cheer this as Aries nods in agreement*
Jericho: However, this little celebration, is now over, Aries. This celebration is over before it's begun because you winning that Championship was nothing more than a fluke. And the fact that you're celebrating that fact is a joke.
*the crowd boo*
Jericho: I know it, and you know it. But the simple fact that you fail to acknowledge it has led to these fans being blinded further. You are pulling the wool over the eyes of these fans Aries, and it's not acceptable. Do you understand what I am saying to you right now?
*the crowd boo*
Jericho: Unlike you, I don't need a Championship around my waist to dictate that I am the best in the world at what I do. But unfortunately, because of these blind, mindless hypocrites, the simple fact that they won't acknowledge that I am the best if I don't have that Championship means that I have to do something about that. So without wasting any more of my breath on you, I am announcing that I will cash in my rematch clause at Summerslam!
King: No way! Austin Aries vs. Chris Jericho the rematch!
JR: What huge news! We will get the rematch of the epic match from last night at The Great American Bash! Austin Aries vs. Chris Jericho II where Chris Jericho looks to reclaim his WWE Championship takes place at SummerSlam!
King: Oh that is a must see match, if they can top what they did last night I'd be scared!
JR: And as you can see Chris Jericho is dressed to compete he will be in a match next!
