"If men were created equal, then what happened to game developers?"
I think alot of the population decline and or imbalance is because people are placed into these scenarios that give basically free goodies. My day in WAR is mostly spent sitting at a random war camp waiting for a scenario que. It's getting to the point of boredom in some cases. Mythic needs to solve this problem head on. They need to provide a reason for Open RVR. Create a large based dungeon similar to Darkness Falls and use it in the same manner. It's what kept people wanting to do keep sieges. All these scenarios due is force people into instancing. I'm not going to say it truly forces you, but what reason is there to claiming a t2 keep? Besides some random loot bags, decent xp and trivial bonuses, what else is there? Darkness Falls, a huge dungeon with alot of reasons to keep it is what made me love RvRing in DaoC. But besides city sieging in t4, keep taking is really lackluster pre-t4. Give people a good reason to take these keeps. Make a huge DF dungeon with control advantages for claiming a certain amount of keeps. Do something besides increasing the bonuses. It's not the bonuses people want, it's the feeling we got from DF is what we really want.
It's either that are atleast replace these scenarios with keep scenarios so people learn how to take keeps. And not just random mini-game fun. I hated BG's in WOW because of this, and now WAR is doing it. And to me the only reason they did it is to take people away from WOW bg's. But why would people want to come to WAR to play another WOWish BG? Make this a Warhammer game without the WOWish neccesites. I re-subed to WAR and love it. But it really is becoming boring. The level grind after 20 and these dam scenarios must be getting to me so I will end it here. But seriously Mark, quit giving bonuses and fix the dam problem. Remeber ToA, enough said.

Just make more quests available if you are in control of an area, and make the PQs harder if you're not. Then make the PQ keep sieges worth influence like the pve ones. These bonuses and penalties could also change depending on wether the zone was your's to begin with... like some of the higher level zones.
a dungeon like DF would be cool too, but we've seen it before.

We have nothing to fear but fear itself - and Chuck Norris.
I have played a several servers to get a feel how the populaiton affects the game.
Starting at Skull Throne it is essentially collector's edition server. People got in early head start and having rolling since. Good times until official launch. Log in cue were horrible. Then the server was cloned to Throne of Doom.
I went there because of my peak playing times were eastern time and evening meant i couldn't get in for 30-60min. Unacceptable. Unfortunately the major guilds stayed and the cloned server was an alt server/ and very quiet. Scenarios after T2 would not pop at all.
My guild moved to Ironfist which seemed good, T4 scenarios are popping with greater frequency.
A made a character on one of the imbalanced servers. Order. It seems less organized obviously and scenario win /loss ratio is poor namely because there are few healers. So we shall see how things pan out.
Interesting though all servers at this point have Rank 5 cities. I do not know of a city capture yet. I'd figure by now Skull Throne would have one,
Would a larger server be able to work? Mythic seems to think not. I am concerned though that 5k pop might not be enough.
Finally - Best site for Chuck Norris

They're already working on making open rvr more desirable. Some they already did, some will come soon.
Moreover people that think that scenarios are always better than open RvR simply didn't play all the way yet. At level 40 scenarios contribute very little to carachter growth (an average of 400 rp in a won scenario).

The OP vastly overstates the population problem, and fails to give Mythic credit for the actions they are taking to correct the problem.
I play destruction and I never wait more than 10-15 minutes to get into a scenario, and in the evenings it is more like 2-3 minutes. I do agree that RvR at least in the first two tiers is pretty barren, but they are taking steps to fix this as well.
Besides while destruction may have more players, order seems to have better players.

I think the low tier RvR is nobody's land today; I only found some battles in New Emskrank in Tier 1... I don't think the Order has any problems with the healers - there isn't much healer, but there isn't much Destruction healer too, so it isn't problem. It's worse that in a scenario there isn't an automatic warband, so many times I simply can't see who needs healing because my groupmates were spreading across the map... (no, I'm not in a guild, I'm running pug matches) The PQs are deserted too, so I'm gathering influence in the first grinding stage almost every times...
Signatures are boring things.

The OP raises some good points. Hopefully the class/faction imbalances can be corrected.
I see a lot of speculation about mostly children play Order, or only experienced players play Destruction, bla bla bla. Lot of assumptions based on what? From the posts I've read it looks like their assumptions are heavily weighted toward what faction they play.
I am playing Empire right now. Destro on the forums say it's Or'ders fault for losing because they don't use strategy and tactics. Well it's easy to use strategy and tactics if you have the numbers and/or classes to support it. Otherwise there tends to be chaos which is what we seem to have at the moment. Empire very much needs a tank.
This game needs pvp to be successful for the game to be successful. In spite of the baseless assumptions about Order players made by the other faction, there is hopefully someone within Mythic crunching the numbers to see that things are indeed imbalanced in favor of Destruction. Otherwise you would not see Mythic adding classes, adding bonuses to improve factional balances, etc.
Infact, the OP's observations are legitimized by Mythics recent actions and announcements to correct the problems which the OP details. So how people can then come here and dispute which even Mythic admits is puzzling.
But some people like to argue for the sake of argument I guess.

Class balance restored – It's a long shot, but the Knight of the Blazing Sun is something the Empire needs badly. I believe it will have a bigger effect on drawing people to Order then it's Dark-elven counterpart.
Believe all you like. I for one will be hanging up an IB and rolling it's destruction counterpart.
And in regards to the above poster who mentioned the Knight was treated as the 'mirror' I read it as tank released at the same time.
As for pop imbalance there's one on my server. Destruction outnumber Order in open field and yes it'll need to be fixed. Or you'll see Order farming renown dings in scenarios only with the odd zzerg or late night/morning keep takes.

A heart of darkness and a soul of the light can never truly coexist.
Yeah, have to agree with a few other people who have responded. Order has weaker healers eh? Bogus. Archmages and Rune Priests rock, if people know how to play them. On Red Eye Mountain I can honestly say scenarios go 50/50, I never know who is going to win any given one. Also on keep sieges, order can really put up a good fight if they are defending, and if they are attacking they seem to make quick work of a destro keep. Yes I play destruction.

The most important class in WAR are the healers. The side with the most healers often wins most battles...as long as they don't have TOO many healers.
High Elves are damn ugly. There's no way I am going to roll a fruity looking elf that is also damn ugly. That leaves Order with the Rune Priest who has his own visual shortcomings. Order needs a human pure-healer (not WP) and a human tank (KotBS).
Anyone who thinks Order is OP is clueless.

I had talked with some of the members of Mythic at Gencon when Warhammer was still going into open beta and they had said they expected Destruction to outnumber Order about 60% to 40% and they were ok with that. In a game like WAR the "bad" guys were expected to outnumber "good" because of the nature of the game.

Yeah there is no problems with the game at all, everything is OK. Like the SC I was just in where Des had 4 tanks, 5 DPS, Order we had 3 DPS, and rest where healers, and NO tanks, but everything is fine.
Also I have played a Zealot and RP both to level 15, the zealot is a lot easier and better to play then the RP. I am playing to RP cause I have friends that want to stay on the order side, if not for them I would be on the Des side in no time.

Well, another person that claims that it's Mythic's fault for the choice of server that they made. Been playing since head start and most likely very lucky in that the population balance, on badlands, is pretty darn good. The community isn't so hot, but hey, if I want to queue for serpent's passage im in in a matter of minutes, usually not long enough to turn in the kill players and scenario participation quests.
You seem to forget that orcs and dark elves are also missing their classes, choppa and blackguard to be specific. Explain to me how its such a bad thing for order to be missing their two classes while it's ok for destruction to be missing theirs? Tell me, is it just convenience that you stress how hard it is on order to be missing a melee dps and a tank while failing to mention that the exact same disparity lies with destruction as well, or are you just incapable of rational thought?
Rune priests and Archmages underpowered? Have you played one? Did you ever think that the ones you have played with just suck? Not enough tanks? Role one! Instead of whining and crying and putting the blame on everyone else man up, take some responsibility and be proactive.
MMORPG.com, I think your selection of a "correspondant" is SERIOUSLY lacking in both reasoning ability, and in onjectivity.

The OP is both right and wrong.
The class composition imbalance is correcting itself atm simply because the player population is not stupid and can see what works and what dont work. I gave up on my SW in T4 and rerolled a WP instead so I had to go up through the tiers a second time and I can see some great differences from the first days of the game.
Order has far more tanks and healers and less dps (practically no SWs anymore), and dest side field far more ranged dps and fewer tanks, all in all you see similar group composition on both sides now as the 2nd generation of chars are lvling up. So that is being fixed as we speak.
The overall population imbalane OTOH is a more severe problem. On my homeserver of Karak Orrud we are always outnumbered 1 to 1.5 towards 1 to 2 any time we venture out into open RvR no matter what tier we move into. The only time we take keeps is a nighttime and then we get a lot of experience in keep defenses (but game give no rewards for defending keeps, only taking them).
So far the only thing that have prevented dest from taking Altdorf is the severe server lag when more than 150 people fight in a zone. So the fortress lords kills entire raids in between the lag spikes.

Very good read, I think you covered the game pretty honestly. I am sure things will change though they always do, MMO's seem to change monthly these days.

This is shocking...ly bad. If anything, it's the exact opposite on the server I'm on, scenarios pop every 2 seconds because its all people freaking play, you would never know what the population balance was considering nobody is ever NOT in a scenario, and Order usually steamrolls Destruction, not the other way around as he claims, because Destruction can't our shit together half the time. Population troubles being the biggest issue in WAR? Don't make me freaking laugh. How about a combat system thats practically exacly the same as WoW, watered down RvR that doesn't even meet DAoC standards let alone feel like the game was designed around it, and NOBODY playing in freaking ORvR because people are too busy grinding out scenarios either because they want EZ experience or because they're from WoW and "Hey! these are like BGS 8D YAY familiarity!" How about we concern ourselves with WAR actually having an idenity of its own and fixing its RvR before we complain that the other side has two tanks and we only have one QQ.

I, for one, feel like he is incorrect in saying that the Destruction classes completely overpower the Order classes. A warriorpriest is every bit as good as a disciple of khain they are just direct opposites in respect to buffs (one buffs one debuffs but they both fight melee and heal the same)

I got so much trouble on my mind Refuse to lose.
If population imbalance is not enough , topped by generally just better more efficient classes on Destro side,
but to make things even worse:
Destruction side are just better players
Face it. Powerplayers , pwners , organized PVP guilds - they are playing Destruction.
Order is populated by casual players , girls and carebears and roleplayers.
I was in many RVR battles , and was simply impressed how organized Destro was.

Well all you people can try to defend WAR all you like here, but the fact of the matter is, this game is 110% dependent on Population Balance. If there is an imbalance, the game is screwed...there's no "uhm and aah" about this, this is reality.
We can go on about why there's population imbalance , whether it's the fact that Order is simply visually unappealing or whether the late upsurge of Horde players in WoW resulted in a more "comfortable" feeling with playing Destruction is also irrelevant.
I am playing Order, and if there's a 40+ sized Destruction warband in any given area and only 20 Order, you can smoke any kind of crap you like, Destruction WILL NOT GET A FIGHT. Order WILL resort to "guerilla" or "avoid the zerg" tactics and simply well, avoid the fight.
The part that the Author did not touch on , which is surprising to me is another Population Imbalance which Mythic imposed on the game. That is of course TIER based populations.
Has no one ever thought what T1 is gonna look like in 3 months time? Heck what about T2/3 ? How will any new player or "alt-aholic" play WAR in 3 months? If you leveled too fast you probably hit T4 with nothing to do, if you leve too slow you will sit in T1 with nothing but quests to do....

Mon, 29 Jun 2015 14:06:39To the Rafters: The Best Clothes We've Ever Worn
- Kempt Staff
Clothes are so simple. Just fabric and stitching. And most of them stay that way. You buy an oxford you love in the store, but it ends up fitting funny in the shoulders and never finds a favored spot in the rotation. A T-shirt's waist stretches after the first wash. Pants you buy online just don't go perfectly with anything you own in real life. You wear them, because they still look pretty good, and you have to wear clothes. But they're never more than fabric and stitching.
Then there are the favorites. The ones that become set pieces on the slow cinema work that is your life. Something you wore one time when the incredible happened, or all the time, when nothing much happened at all. Whatever the case may be, somehow, they gain meaning. Stretched hems and too-short sleeves become character points. Holes become history. Fades become wisdom. And these clothes become you.
All this rhapsody is to say that, recently, the Kempt brain trust was shooting the shit about our favorite all-time articles of clothing—the ones whose numbers we'd retire—and we thought we'd share our tales.

Taste-testing onions from Peru

Every year Mike Maldonado brings a bit of Peru to Houston. The idea was hatched in 1996 when Mike was visiting his uncle in Peru in the small town of Nazcas. Maldonado wanted to honor his father's homeland by importing vegetables to Houston.
After settling on the onions and working with a farmer to develop the perfect seed, Maldonado named his onions the Nazcas, after the ancient geoglyphs known as the Nazcas Lines. (The images of creatures, plants, imaginary beings and geometric figures are believed to have been etched into the ground by those in the Nazca culture between 500 B.C. and A.D. 500, according to the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization. They were discovered in 1927 by Peruvian archaeologist Toribio Mejia Xesspe.)
Maldonado describes the taste of his onions as sweeter and milder than Vidalias.
Maldonado started bringing the onions to Houston in 1999. You can find them in stores from September until January; this year they're available at Fiesta, Rice Epicurean Markets, Belden's, Market Basket and Brookshire Brothers.
Maldonado provided a recipe to entice us to try - and buy more of - his onions.
After testing recipes for onion rings, I did not need much convincing.
Onion Rings
Oil for frying
Salt and pepper to taste
¼ cup flour
1 cup cornmeal
1 large Sweet Nazca onion, sliced into rings
½ cup buttermilk
Instructions: Heat the oil in a skillet or dutch oven.
Blend a scant amount of salt and pepper with the flour and cornmeal.
Dip the onion rings into the buttermilk, then in the cornmeal mixture.
Fry in hot oil until golden. Repeat with all of the rings. Sprinkle lightly with salt and serve.
Au Gratin Potatoes with Sweet Nazcas
2 pounds potatoes, sliced (with or without peel)
1 Nazca onion, sliced
1 cup grated gruyere cheese
1 cup half and half
1 tablespoon butter
Instructions: Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a casserole dish.
Arranged half of the potatoes and onions in the prepared dish, cover with half of the cheese and half and half. Top with dots of half of the butter. Repeat with remaining ingredients and bake, covered, for 50-60 minutes; uncover and bake 15 more minutes. Cool for a few minutes and serve warm.

This is me.
Me, well I'm a traveler by nature, literally and metaphorically. Nothing I love better than a long drive with the windows down and the music blaring. I just want to get out and see the world and everything it has to offer. I'll try anything once and aim to do so. I am however very laid back and can enjoy anything or anywhere with the right company. Trying different restaurants and food are also very important to me. A new restaurant is always exciting and I love to cook but always hard for just one person. I am looking for someone to share my experiences with but also who can relax and just enjoy one another's company. I recently moved to the LA area for my job and am still trying to get my bearings.

I just moved to the LA area a few months ago, so no favorite spots yet... But besides that, the Boundary Waters, anyplace with skiing, Chicago, Seattle
San Francisco State University, San Francisco, CA
I like almost any kind of movie. Otherwise, I love skiing, golfing, canoeing, and kayaking. I love being outdoors in real nature. But I also like big city life.
I just like to have a nice relaxing time with whatever I am doing, but I will always slip in a few crazy moments. I am up for trying anything.
I mostly read non-fiction or fiction that is based in a real life setting, i.e. autobiographical or historical.

Tim Kaine says Teresa Sullivan reinstatement would be 'justice'
In a previous version, this story stated Kaine called the reinstatement of President Sullivan just if Dragas resigns. Kaine's spokeswoman clarified the statement, saying Kaine believes it would be justice if Sullivan is reinstated but did not intend to comment directly on Dragas' resignation.
United States Senate hopeful and former Virginia Governor Tim Kaine said it would be "justice" if former University of Virginia President Teresa Sullivan were reinstated.
Kaine stopped short of calling for rector Helen Dragas' resignation. He said that decision should be left up to the board.
But Kaine, speaking only to ABC 7, is calling the upheaval at the University of Virginia "tragic" and said that the school's board made a mistake by making a decision of this magnitude without actually meeting.
"If they had done what a board is supposed to do, we wouldn't be in this place at all," Kaine said. "I think they would have decided, on the basis of a meeting, not to try to force a resignation."
The Washington Post reports that several members of the university's governing board spent Wednesday quietly counting votes and plotting a move to reinstate the outgoing president.
Sullivan reportedly told the Post that she wants to remain, but only if Rector Helen Dragas resigns. Meanwhile, the board has named McIntire School of Commerce Dean Carl Zeithaml as the interim president.
Zeithaml said he opposed the board's decision to remove Sullivan, calling it a "flawed process." But said he accepted the job "because I love this university."
As the Faculty Senate continues its efforts to get the Board of Visitors to reinstate the popular Sullivan, they are expected to meet with Zeithaml Thursday.
"We have already made a difference and we will not back down from fighting for our principles and for the university we love," Faculty Senate chairman George Cohen said in a note to colleagues. "We have work to do. Let's get to it."
Despite the strong support for Sullivan - and about 2,000 showing up outside the Rotunda on Monday to protest her removal - it's unlikely that the Board of Visitors would reinstate her after naming Zeithaml to the interim post.
"I can certainly understand why there is strong support in the community for her to be reinstated," Kaine said.
According to the Washington Post, Sullivan's supporters on the board think they are close to the eight votes needed to reinstate her. They have until 5 p.m. Thursday to call a meeting for June 27, at which a reinstatement vote would be taken.

33 year old man | Scottsdale, AZ, USA | Seeking women 23-32 within 30 miles
Excited to meet someone new to explore new worlds with, maybe you do too?
Im a fun loving individual who really really loves to travel. I have been blessed with being able to see the world and now that I work at an airline HQ near Phoenix, I can continue to do that. I am very family oriented as everyone knows me as kind of a "mommas boy". I typically would not use this site, but I've come to that age where I want something more serious. I am a youngish (30) year old professional that really wants to experience life with someone. I love dining out and exploring new places in and around Scottsdale that I haven't seen or tried yet! Even though I love going out, I really also love to spend time at my home just relaxing and watching movies...it kind of depends on the mood! I do have tons of energy and am a very outgoing person. My friends would definitely describe me as someone who gets excited about even the smallest things! I'm looking for someone who also wants something serious. I'm not saying that if we try a first date I'm expecting something more out of it. But if something does work out, it would be great to get to know the other person that much more. I really also would like to meet someone who is outgoing, outspoken at times, and full of life. Always trying to better oneself is an important aspect to the individual as well. I'm on this site to meet someone and I'm not on here just for fun. So if you want to talk, lets do it!

"I ordered a 3000watts transformer from this company to use with a 220volts soybean milk making appliance my wife bought back from China. When the transformer arrived we found out that they have shipped us the wrong model. I called this company and their manager/owner Mr. Azam was very kind and helpful to offer a better replacement, LiteFuse LR-5000. Needless to say we were overjoyed and thankful for his gesture. When the shipment arrived, we were surprised that their shipping department had accidently shipped THG-5000U/D instead of LiteFuse LR-5000. We tested the transformer but it keep buzzing after a few minutes and has to be unpluged to reset all the time. We conclude that we still need the LiteFuse LR-5000 because it has a built-in regulator. Again I called Mr. Azam and he bend himself backward to comply with my request to ship me the LiteFuse LR-5000 when he receive his shipment from China. I am waiting for the LiteFuse LR-5000 to arrive, hopefully soon, and forever grateful for Mr. Azam's thoughtfullness in this regards. I am pleased with the purchase and would definitely recommend this company to anyone.
We received the LiteFuse LR-5000 a few days later and it has worked beautifully. Thanks again to Mr. Azam."
"I have done business with Overseas Electronics(www.welelectronics.com)/email@example.com as far back as 2008. This company is located in Chicago, IL. Their site is clearly marked with their information. Recent purchases that I have made with them are as follows: (each phone is purchased on different dates that go back to January 2010): Samsung S5230, LG GX500, Nokia 6700, Nokia 7260, Samsung B5702, Sony Ericsson W980i, and Sony Ericsson G705. Each phone has been shipped in a timely manner and in excellent condition. I HAVE HAD ONLY POSITIVE EXPERIENCES WITH THEM! I have never had a problem with them that would warrant a negative review!! Any issues that have come up they have always been good about remedying the situation. If I decided that I did not want the phone or realized that the phone would not be compatible in the U.S.A. (because I misread their ad) they have always been good about exchanging for another item. I do not understand some of the negative reviews listed about them. For example: Reviewer GUAC who seems to ask the reader to find out if they're operating under other business names since he had a bad experience with another company in California with a similar name. Did this reviewer buy from Overseas in Chicago? I mean, ResellerRatings only requests for a purchase date & order number which is not enough info to verify the legitimacy of some of these reviews. Does RR even call Overseas to verify order numbers? I also question the negative reviews who don't even call to speak with Asam to resolve their issue with an order but decide to leave negative feedback anyway. Since I have done business with them I would recommend calling them to make sure an item is in stock. If for any reason the item is no longer in stock when originally it was then they will gladly refund any money owed to you (which has happened to me before). It's not life or death people! Personally, I would definitely recommend doing business with them."
"I ordered Philips dvp5140 from this site through Google checkout.
Next day got a phone call that the item is long time discontinued (why is it still on their website?) and they will send me newer model for the same price.
Today I received BROKEN OLDER dvp 3140 player.
1) OLDER and twice cheaper (if you will be lucky to find it)
2) BROKEN. with a scratch on the DVD tray. the tray would not open, it's jammed.
This is all fraud and scam. if I can only give negative raiting..."
"Having read previous entries on this website describing how the wrong item had been received I was a bit concerned about whether they would send me the correct cell phone (which was pretty hard to find in the color I wanted), so I called them after I had made my order to make sure the item was in stock, and they assured me it was. They shipped the item the same day, but it wasn't the color explicitly stated in the item title on their website. They blamed it on their supplier and sent me a return shipping label. Customer service was very good but I wouldn't buy from them again."
"Purchased the New sony ericsson x10 device from them , they claim to be first ones to have it available and sure enough I was able to walk in the store and pick it up love the new android phone . got a great deal "
"I was looking for a transformer/converter for use in 220 volt appliances, mainly for washer and dryer that I want to use in 220 volts. So I came across this store online. I called them to find out about different options I have in purchasing transformers. The sales person recommended a LiteFuze brand transformer. I Bought a LiteFuze Converter from this store online and received it faster than I had expected.I am using this transformer and it works great on washer and dryer. I am pleased with the purchase and would definitely recommend this store for different types of voltage transformers."
"Ordered from them on 2/8/10 and called them to make sure the item I was ordering was in stock. I have been waiting for the Sony Ericsson W995 to come out for a long time and they had it at the best price. Great customer service as well. I got my phone just a few days after ordering and I am very HAPPY! As described, brand new, great price! Thanks!"
"I have always bought from them new just released mobile phones , they normally are the first ones to get them in stock , sometime they do promise you that you will get it in a day or so but thats not always true. but eventually it does come thru . I bought my motorola Droid and the HD2 from them in the past and it was delivered with in days"
"This company has to be a joke.
I ordered a multisysem vcr two weeks ago. Their website has 4 pages worth of multisystems listed for sale.
Today I called as I'd heard nothing since my confirmation. Long story short, they say they purposely advertise items they don't stock for "regulations" (?) of some sort. I also was pushed off the phone and told I'd be called back. In the meantime I double checked their site and saw there were still pages of vcrs. I called back and was told again they don't stock them, and they're sorry I "don't understand" (I was questioning their business practices). The person I spoke to was flippant and really didn't care that this business is dishonest, has poor communiction, etc. He seemed to think he was doing me a favor by even talking to me. He kept saying "okay" in a flippant way each time I told him that this was a very bizarre way of running a business. I told him to make sure the order was cancelled.
Shortly after I got a call back from him. He was nicer this time at first, and offered me a vcr/dvd player for cheaper than the item I picked out -- something I do not want. I said no, and then I said that I don't want to do business with this company as I find the whole thing to be run very poorly. He got flippant again, told me good luck finding any vcrs these days. I told him I'd find what I needed just fine. He also told me again after I said I found this company to be run very poorly that he wasn't going to argue with me and was going to be positive even if I was negative (?!). At this point I was beyond fed up. He had told me he wasn't the owner, which I found odd. If he's not the owner and an employee, then what does his attitude say about this company?
I'd urge everyone to stay away from this place, and to be sure and find out if they're operating under other business names before ordering an item from a similar looking store online. Years ago I had a horrendous problem with a company from California very similar to this company, and now I'm thinking that these independent oveseas electronics stores are to be kept away from at all costs."
"First I ordered HTC HD but then called same day to change to the Omnia 2. I wanted next day shipping. The rep said it was $24.XX. I asked him was that next day and he said YES. When I looked online at my bank they charged me another $34.00. The next rep said the first rep charged me for regular shipping not next day. Had I not called back to change the order, I would've been waiting for my phone. When I explainded to the second rep that the first rep said next day was $24.XX he said I misunderstood. I didn't misunderstand anything. So I let the transaction go. The Omnia 2 I recieved was BAD. It stopped working in 2 weeks. Wouldn't get a signal. So I called to get it replaced and they replaced it, but with a different color. The first was black. Then they sent me a red one. I called them to get the black one back. They told me it didn't come in black. That made me mad. I know what I recieved from them. At that point I know I will not buy from them again!!! The packaging doesn't come with warranty info. So I called Overseas to check on wanrranty info and hasn't recieved a call back or email from them. I found this out because I called Samsung USA for help to get the phone working and they told me it's not a US model and I need to call the seller to fix. So buy at your on risk??? I was going to buy the HTC HD2 from these guys, but since they didn't respond to my email about warranty or give me a black phone like I had before, I'll buy from some other retailer. Buyer beware!!!"
"These guys do not carry 90% of the phones that are listed on their website. I guess it is a cheap way of coming up on google for various searches. I tried buying nokia 6290. The guys said that they do not carry it and the information on web is for reference only. So why the shopping cart and the seller had no answer. I asked for a nokia 6125 and overseas ended up sending 6126 which is not what I wanted. On contact, they confirmed that they did not have 6125 either. They younger guy on phone was quite rude and the older guy was O.K. Very deceptive sellers. Would not buy or recommend them to anyone. "
"I ordered a Nokia E51 camera-free phone from Overseas Electronics. When they sent me the model with a camera, I emailed them about exchanging it. Their entire reply was "send it back." So, at my expense, I sent it back. They refunded my money (except for the shipping) and never sent me a replacement phone. I'm out $37 for shipping costs for a mistake THEY made and still don't have a phone."
"We need four(4) Cellular phones Sony Ericsson T250i for a project.
I look for this phones on Internet and OVERSEAS ELECTRONICS shows that have it in stock.
Just to confirm the information and as we have a strict deadline, I made a long distance call and one of the males told me that they have it in stock and ready to deliver.
I ask (again) for the two (2) day shipping and he told me that as I call before noon (Friday) they will be deliver that same day to us...
After the fourth(4)day waiting, I call and they told me that was a delay and that will be deliver on next Friday. The next day call again, just to confirm that they don't have them and they only say that: "Your money will be reimbursed to your card, because we couldn't find them" (???) No further explanations, just ask for the invoice number.
PLEASE DO NOT BUY from "Overseas Electronics" = "www.welectronics.com" = "email@example.com"(on eBay). Learn from others, ok?!"
"I have ordered Revel Roti Maker. They send me some Professional series (Even the non stick coating is so BAD!!). When i called them they are asking me to send it to them for refund but i will have to take the shipping cost. They dont even understand its their mistake that they send a wrong product. I spoke to some one in the shop who does not know how to handle the customers. He does not understand an online selling concept.. Worst thing is my order says Revel, The invoice they send to me also revel but the product is something else... they are not ready to admit their mistake.. PLEASE DO NOT SHOP ONLINE WITH THIS MERCHANT.... "

Mining Publication: Significant Dust Dispersion Models for Mining Operations
Original creation date: September 2005
Dust dispersion modeling is a subject that has had a large amount of research activity. Much of the research has focused on large-scale global or regional dispersion models. Other models have been created for industry-specific purposes. Furthermore, some of the past research has focused on dust dispersion modeling in the mining industry. This report presents the various dust dispersion models that have been developed specifically for the mining industry. The report first gives a brief background of the regulatory environment that helped to promote development of such models. It then presents an overview of the mathematical concepts used in this dispersion modeling. Finally, each of the various models developed for the mining industry are described, along with their associated mathematical algorithms and any field validation conducted on the different models.

MAJOR plans to redevelop the 40-year-old home of Burnley Youth Theatre have been given a £400,000 cash injection by the Arts Council.
Prefab storage space and offices at the Queen's Park Road venue will make way for two new activity, and rehearsal rooms will be created.
Arts bosses have said that the development, which will benefit to the tune of £402,250, will poten-tially double the capacity of the building.
An entrance from the main theatre will lead into an activity room with a connecting door leading to a larger performance space and extra storage at the rear for stage sets and props.
A Youth Theatre spokes-man said: "This is an ext-remely exciting opportunity for us to provide more space for the young people of Burnley and Lancashire to enjoy the chance to part-icipate in theatre, dance, music, arts, technical theat-re and other arts activities.
Part of the plans will also see a small kitchen, toilets and foyer created with the activity rooms being separated by a "spinal" wall.
Theatre officials have confirmed that building work should begin this April and continue until around September.

Awesome Seattle Getaway
Very friendly staff clean rooms nice location within walking distance to local shops and restaurants. The Hotel does offer free shuttle service and free bikes you can check out. The small cafe is nice place to grab a quick snack. The parking lot
is small and limited and there is daily fee to park in the hotel parking lot. Overall great stay at Hotel Five and I would stay again.

Great Place to Stay
We had a ton of fun staying here before a Cruise vacation. When we got back from the cruise they held our bags so we could hang out at the Farmer's Market before our late plane out of Seattle.
Convenient stay during conference
I needed a hotel near an ABA conference in Seattle, WA, since the hosting hotel was filled. This hotel was clean, unpretentious, but hospitable. Had two lunches at this hotel instead of at the hosting hotel and was surprised by the delicious
panini chicken sandwich -- that is why I returned for the same sandwich the next day. This is a newer hotel chain which has a San Francisco hotel by a different name. Would recommend for short overnight stays.
4 Star experience at mid priced hotel. Staffs were super nice and everything was clean.
Great hotel
Great location. Friendly staff. Loved the modern decor. Kid friendly. Riding the free bikes was a plus.
College Visit
We went up for 2 days to check out University of Washington to see if my daughter wants to go there. We got to the hotel easily from the airport, parking was easy, lobby looked good, and the rooms were great. They even have bicycle's at the lobby
you can use to go around town.

Great location, Friendly Staff, was not able to get around to all the amenities offered. Parking was easy for this location and the room service was delicious. Overall, I had a really great experience and the decor is fun as well.
Excellent Stay
The staff were very helpful and friendly. The room was very clean and I loved the decour. The location was excellent, we were just a few blocks from Pike Place Market as well as the Space Needle.
The restaurant on site had amazing breakfast, and

How many of you find yourself lamenting your lack of time to do anything let alone cooking a delicious meal set with leftovers to last you a week? Of course, many of you wise home cooks out there scoff and say, well that's what your slow cooker is for – a prepare, set, and come home to a delicious meal with very minimal effort on your part tool and…you're right! The slow cooker is an amazing tool for the busy working person who still wants to feed themselves and their family a good home cooked meal. A couple Christmases ago, my husband bought me this amazing All-Clad slow cooker from Williams-Sonoma. It was my first All-Clad product and it was also replacing a very well used slow-cooker that decided to die on me a couple months previously.
This this is amazing. Besides the feature of the cast aluminum insert which easily goes from stove-top to slow cooker, allowing you to sauté your aromatics or brown your meat all in one dish (easy clean-up, another must for the busy home cook), this thing boasts one of the most customizable digital timers I've seen on a slow cooker – you can set it to cook at high for a certain amount of time and switch to low, and as soon as the time is up no matter how you time it, it will automatically switch to the "warm" setting until serving time. This truly is the busy person's dream – as someone who often plans for an 8 hour work day but finds themselves working 10 instead, this provides a little more flexibility and security that things won't go horribly wrong if you can't come home to turn this thing off. As I said before, this was my introduction to the beauty of the All-Clad product – it's looks aren't just stainless-steel exterior deep, All-Clad's products pack a lot of value in that shiny surface and the slow cooker is no exception. Since buying this, I now own several other pieces from All-Clad. The brand is truly worth the investment.
But, gushing about tools aside, we pretty much all know that our slow-cookers are one of the most valuable tools in our kitchens so let me tell you something you might not know…you can also do a fantastic roast whole chicken in your slow-cooker in only 5 hours on low or 8 on high. The end result will be a beautifully moist chicken that will appear to anyone as if you labored hours in the kitchen roasting and browning this bird. But you don't have to let them know that it only took you 10 minutes of prep and a 8 minute pop under the broiler to crisp up the skin, because what they don't know won't hurt them, right?
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup dijon mustard
A few sprigs of fresh thyme
1 onion
1 large whole chicken
1. Combine dried spices into a small bowl or container (I used a ramekin)
2. Slice onion roughly into about 1/4 inch slices (it's not important that they're perfect here), place in bottom of slow cooker.
3. Prepare chicken – rinse, remove any remaining feather bits, set aside giblets (we will use these later for a homemade chicken stock), and pat dry. Rub a good quality dijon mustard all over the chicken skin and under the skin covering the breasts. I like grey poupon brand dijon. Then, rub your spice mixture all over the skin, under the skin covering the breasts, and in the cavity. I like to put a few springs of fresh thyme into the cavity, but this can be omitted.
4. Place chicken in slow-cooker on top of onion slices, breast-side down. Do not add any liquid – the chicken will produce plenty on its own.
5. Set timer to desired length of time, either 5 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
6. When chicken is falling off the bone, go ahead and take it out. Remove the thigh, drum, wing, and drumette pieces and place on a foil-lined baking sheet. Broil on low in your oven until the skin is browned and crispy. I use the leftover liquid in the slow cooker to make a delicious homemade chicken stock – just add any bones from the carcass of the bird, the giblets, and two cups of water and simmer in the slow cooker on high for 4 hours. Strain and let cool – freeze in an ice cube tray for convenient chicken stock cubes!
So, there you have it. I'm still learning all the possibilities for my slow cooker. Please share any of your favorite weekday meals using this kitchen essential.

Welcome to St. Xavier's Official Website
Dear Visitors,
Welcome to our official website, launched on 17th September 2010 by Dato' Ong Gim Huat, the guest of honour for our Prize Giving Day 2010. We would like to thank our school Editorial Board for providing most of the photographs for this website. We welcome constructive comments and feedback which can be sent to the e-mail provided in contact us. For those who want to look for "old" article(s), please click on the icon "About SXI", choose "News" and browse through the pages one by one till you find the article(s). HAPPY SURFING !! :)
( The Principal, Mr Loh Kea Yu (in the picture above), has been transferred to SMK La Salle Klang effective 9th March. 2015.
2015 New Year Message
A warm and hearty welcome to all my pupils and teachers.
This year we have an enrollment of about 240 students in Form 1. The registration for the Form 1 students was on the 15th of December, 2014. The enrollment figure clearly indicates that there will be 8 classes of 30 students per class. Science and Mathematics will be continued to be taught in English till the year 2016.
PT3 also known as Pentaksiran Tingkatan 3 was held on the 5th of October til the 8th of October 2014. The results of the assessment was announced on the 22nd of December, 2014. These results were used to stream the students into the various classes. Names of the students and their respective streams was immediately posted onto to the school website.
The first wave of PPPM (Pelan Pembangunan Pendidikan Malaysia) went on full swing nationwide in 2013. The DTP (District Transformation Program) was launched at the beginning of 2014. Now the District Education Department will closely monitor the academic performances, students' and staff's attendance in all schools under its charge. The SIPartners+ and SISC+ were formed and these officers regularly visit schools to discuss and give constructive comments on good teaching practices and excellent administration procedures for the school.
Two important courses were introduced in 2014. Firstly was the HOTS (Higher Order Thinking Skills) program and then followed by the I-Think program. It was compulsory for all our teachers to attend these courses. After that our teachers were supposed to apply these thinking skills and mind-mapping methodology in the classrooms. Hopefully this will enable our students to think critically and intelligently.
This year's theme is Pelajar didahulukan dan kecemerlangan diutamakan . This theme has been aptly chosen to remind us to strive harder and show excellence in whatever we do and to be more students-centred.
In order to succeed, first and foremost, the discipline of the students have to be improved and strengthened significantly. The existing Demerit System will be replaced by the Merit-Demerit System which promotes and encourages good and praiseworthy conduct of our pupils. Positive approaches and a caring heart will go a long way to correct the destructive negative behaviour as shown by some of the teenagers today.
Meanwhile, the counselling and the discipline units will be challenged further to come up with more effective programs and strategies. The success of these programs can only be assured when students' attendance in school shows a marked improvement and their interest in studies and written work is excellent. In other words, the students should take learning as their priority and responsibility.
When this is achieved, schooling will be more meaningful for the students and teaching more enjoyable for the teachers. Undoubtedly, our teachers will be more passionate and committed in their work and duties.
The academic results of the school must show progressive improvement. All programs will be reviewed and improved further for their effectiveness. Extra classes will be conducted from the start of the school term for the Form 3, Form 4, Form 5 and Form 6 students. All Heads of Departments for the various subjects have already prepared their worksheets for this purpose.
The roles played by the Board of Governors, Old Xaverian Association and PTA cannot be understated. Their financial support, participation and close association with development projects of the school is essential and welcoming. It is my fervent hope that their co-operation and support will make SXI a model of success in Penang.
Well, let us look forward to a better tomorrow. We need to strive harder and maintain the trust given to us by our stakeholders and the nation.
Happy schooling to my beloved students and happy teaching to all my dedicated Xaverian teachers.
Wishing all "HAPPY NEW YEAR"
Principal St Xavier's Institution

I'm trying to run XX1 cranks with an MRP ISCG05 mounted chainguide. I tried with an MRP chainguide but the the spacing between the cranks and chainguide was too tight (even with no spacers behind the guide). (Not sure if xx1 has a different chainline to normal cranks?
Setup is Banshee Spitfire frame (73mm bb shell), Threaded GXP BB with no spacers.
Is there a chain guide out there that might work? Or am I doing something wrong?

William Smellie (obstetrician)
William Smellie (5 February 1697, Lanark – 5 March 1763, Lanark) was a Scottish obstetrician.
He practiced medicine before getting a license, but enrolled later at the University of Glasgow and received his M.D. degree in 1745. After training in obstetrics in London and Paris, he opened a practice in London and began teaching. He invented a "machine", an obstetrical manikin, for instructions. Smellie described the mechanism of labour, designed obstetrical forceps, devised a maneuver to deliver the head of a breech, and published his teachings. He is believed to have painted his own portrait.
The William Smellie Memorial Hospital which provided maternity services in Lanark closed in the early 1990s and was re-located to a unit at the Law Hospital in Carluke. This was also closed recently and maternity services moved to Wishaw General Hospital.
It has been alleged that Smellie was involved with either murdering or showing a callous disregard for where his corpses came from (as well as his former pupil William Hunter,and brother John Hunter). The supporting evidence for this theory includes the large number of pregnant corpses Hunter was able to obtain.[1] However, this is widely contested by scholars, and so the debate continues.[2]
The tomb in which William Smellie (and later his wife) was buried still stands in the St. Kentigerns section of the state run Lanark graveyard.
