'Celebrate what you accomplish but raise the bar each time you succeed.'
I moved to Charlotte a little over 8 years ago and it's been a fun few years! I've made a ton of great friends and tried a lot of new things! So Charlotte has been pretty good to me from both a career & personal perspective! It really is a great town with a lot to do & there is more coming everyday! I have been an athlete my entire life and while I no longer play soccer (30 years was a good run), I have taken to endurance sports in the last few years. I've ran quite a few races from 5ks to 1/2 marathons & recently got into cycling and already own 2 bikes! So a common interest in fitness and taking care of yourself is a must! I'm not saying I don't like the occasional night of pizza & beer, I DO, but for the most part healthy choices and fitness are priorities. I am looking for someone that is outgoing & career minded but also values healthy relationships and can keep their commitments. He should be be willing to roll with me in jeans & t-shirt to a ball game or get dressed up for night on the town! Of course a night curled up on the couch with a movie & a bottle of wine is always nice too! I like men that are smart and have a good sense of humor. I value honesty over everything else. I don't have that 'beat around the bush' quality, so I'm fairly direct. I also think at this age respect for others should be a given and that includes their time. Also, physical attraction is important, so pictures are a must, I won't respond if you don't have a few pictures. And please NO selfies!

Location was good
Furniture and carpets very dirty and poor condition. Not a cabin. Really a duplex with very thin walls and no parking. Lots of better places to stay in Cloudcroft at the same rate. Well never stay here again
nice and clean with the room not smelling like smoke
Only stairs. Not for someone with any handicap problems.
Gale and Scott made us feel like family. The room was excellent and very comfortable. Great breakfast. Will be back.
That we only stayed one night
The Lodge is said to be haunted by the ghost of Rebecca. However, no ghostly sightings, but the place is gorgeous. Liked everything about it.
No elevator but only 2 floors. Food at dinner was wonderful but expensive. $32 for a 12 oz ribeye.
Beds and room were comfortable. Had a good breakfast and everything was clean. Customer service was excellent as well. Rooms were pretty basic but for a one nighter or even an extended stay it is a pretty decent place to stay.
One night was not enough to come up with any legitimate complaints. At 3 am and the group tired from the long drive, we weren't in any shape to scrutinize every detail (thing requires 100 characters so meh)
It was nice having a 0
The trash was full when we got in the room and the false drawer under the sink fell off very easily
It was very nice, clean, room nice and cold, the pool was nice, the staff were helpful, it had a little kichen where we could cook and 20 percent off at IHOP was nice too.
parking in the back was tight, cars fine but trucks cant fit.
Hostess for breakfast bar was great very attentive. Made you feel special. Room is big with refridge
Had trouble with key card working. Beds are hard and noisy like your sleeping on cardboard. And we asked housekeeping for room to be cleaned on day two so we can have fresh towels. They did not clean the room and their excuse was their key card didn't work, no one came to fix it until day three when we were checking out. I thought that was rude and inconsiderate. A/C rattled all night. I got very little rest.
The room has a microwave and refrig, coffee maker and iron. Very comfortable and the breakfast provided was more than I just dounuts and toast, very good.
The ice maker closest to my room didn't work and I never recieved my wake up call in the morning.
We were told our room was booked smoking even my printout said non-smoking. We got queen size bed instead of king, room next to hotel loundry room with dirty carpet and tub. When I asked for check out print I was told I do not get anything. Horrible experience.
I did not like the fact that I was charged by Priceline and by Hampton. I am in process of getting it corrected. Hotel swiped my card and charged my account what they charge Priceline. I got billed 117.21 by Priceline and 98.40 by Hampton.
The staff, hands down, from the gentleman who was cleaning outside, the housekeeping staff, the kitchen lady to the front desk personnel, just outstanding customer service.
With several positives there always seem to be a negative. The room was clean, might have been on the need to renovate side but fine really. The only thing that I could not overlook was the smell of sewer or drainage smell from the hallway???
the king suite was very spaciousthe bathroom was immaculatethe coffee at breakfast was goodthe staff were nicethe breakfast area was large and clean
the internet was painfully slow and froze up every couple of minutesthe eggs at breakfast were so watery that it was like eating yogurt - had to throw my plate awayour room was directly across from the pool - very, very noisy
The complimentary breakfast was great! The staff was very nice and pleasant to talk with. Warm cookies were on the reception desk when we returned in the evening along with a fresh bowl of apples.
Great beds and comfy rooms.
Room was nice and location was great. Eventually be a very nice hotel.
Full price even with whole 1st floor under construction. Washing machines were unavailable. Indoor pool was ice cold and hot tub was boiling. Fold out couch was placed in room where it couldn't actually fold out.
The staff was patient although there was a bit of a language barrier (we had trouble understanding her). The location was right off the main road which was very handy!
Sparks when trying to turn on the bathroom fan and the mini-fridge didn't work.

Zugspitze - can tickets be reserved?
We will be arriving in Garmisch (at the Zugspitze), July 26 2011, around noon - the Zugspitze runs from 8:15am to 4:15pm. Would we be able to reserve tickets thru our travel agent prior to our trip - or do you think during this busy time in Europe that we'd be ok to just buy our tickets when we get there?

Matthew McConaughey has been looking like a shell of his usual self while losing weight for an upcoming movie role. The actor says he is on a very strict diet but that hasn't stopped him from cooking a steak meal for his wife, Camila Alves.
"I'm playing a guy who is sick in my new movie so I need to lose muscle mass," he said. "I'm doing a high protein, low carbohydrate diet. I eat small amounts -- only five ounces."
But when his pregnant wife is having a craving, McConaughey will still cook her a nice meal.
"But I'm doing a lot of cooking for Camila. She loves a good steak so I've been making rib-eye for her when I can."

Bowers: 'One of the Key Issues in the Series'
"For many years, the 1931 was considered to be the second most common of the rare late date issues of the Saint-Gaudens series, i.e. those issues from 1929-1932. It was considered to be more rare than the 1929, but less rare than the other three, in particular, the 1932.-- That misconception has been corrected now, and today the 1931 is appropriately regarded as the second rarest of the late date issues with respect to population rarity after only the 1930-S."
The actual number of 1931 Philadelphia Mint double eagles available today is a source of some disagreement. Q. David Bowers calls the 1931 "one of the key issues in the series" and estimates a surviving population of 80-120 Mint State specimens, with half a dozen or so examples in circulated grades still extant. Those figures coincide well with current population data from the leading grading services, where NGC and PCGS combined have certified a total of 119 specimens in all grades (10/09). Elsewhere in the present catalog we have mentioned Dr. Charles Green's research on the Saint-Gaudens double eagle series. This research has come to light through the efforts of Q. David Bowers, Dr. George Fuld, and Richard Eliasberg. According to Green's study, a shockingly low 45 coins of this denomination were distributed through official channels in 1931. On the other end of the spectrum, Jeff Garrett and Ron Guth estimate a surviving population of 1931s from 200 to 300 pieces, an estimate that seems overlarge.
The first auction appearance of a 1931 double eagle probably occurred in the Needham, Herrick and Other Collections (Thomas Elder, 9/1937), lot 1393. Elder's description stated, "1931. $20. Of the U.S. St. Gaudens type. A very rare year. First ever offered at auction sale! Value $350. Brilliant Uncirculated. Of greatest rarity." We have been unable to discover the price realized, but Elder's estimate is an indication of how great the demand was for this date in 1937. While Elder's estimate certainly seems high, it is small compared to the $1,250 Col. James Flanagan paid for the 1933 double eagle he purchased from B. Max Mehl just two months later. Clearly, the late date double eagles were exciting coins in the late 1930s.
The rare Gem offered here displays richly frosted surfaces and exhibits a delightful cartwheel effect when rotated slowly under a light. The strike is sharp, with crisp detail present on all design elements. The surfaces are an attractive, bright greenish-yellow, with a faint undertone of red. Both sides show a scattering of insignificant handling marks and luster grazes, entirely consistent with the grade. Overpowering luster is the standout feature of this specimen. The combination of high technical grade and intense visual appeal makes this offering a rare opportunity for the discerning collector.

Shooter Mike vows to do better after games woe
Posted: August 05, 2014|
MIKE Gilligan admitted the pressure of competing at a Commonwealth Games for the first time got the better of him in Glasgow, but vowed to return stronger.
The 25-year-old shooter failed to progress out of the men's skeet qualification round, finishing down in 14th position with a total of 112 at the Barry Buddon Shooting Centre.
Making his Commonwealth Games debut in Scotland, Doveridge Shooting Club's Gilligan could not help but feel downbeat about his performance as English team-mate Rory Warlow won bronze.
But Gilligan insists the experience he has gained from having to perform in an unfamiliar environment will prove to be invaluable.
"I'm quite disappointed because I haven't shot well in this competition at all," said Doveridge shooter Gilligan.
"Whether the nerves got on top of me or it was something else, I'm not sure.
"My overall performance was not good so I feel disappointed even if I will learn from it and next time be better.
"This is my first multi-sport event but I did go to Australia for the Australian Youth Olympic Festival, but nothing on this scale before."
Gilligan did not begin well, missing three and four clays respectively from his opening two rounds.
He responded with 24 clays hit in round three and, despite shooting the same in round five, another four missed in round four did the damage.
Gilligan was six short of qualifying for the finals, eventual bronze medallist Warlow taking the final spot, but he still thoroughly enjoyed the occasion.
"I've learnt how to get used to the environment – I've never shot in front of crowds this large so that's been quite new," he added.
"I think it got on top of me a little bit with all these people watching us shoot."

Thread: Spherical Canvas
May 26th, 2011 #1
Spherical Canvas
I imagine this is a long shot, but is anyone aware of an art program that allows you to work on a spherical canvas instead of a flat canvas. I do a lot of planet-wide map projects and for the past several years Ive forced Google Earth down this road . . . its passable in most areas, and works very well in others, but its not what Google Earth is intended for. (And the final products are far from aesthetically pleasing.)
If the software has the ability to unwrap the image as a traditional flat picture that would be great too.
I am open to some sort of 3D applicable as long as I can still draw on the sphere.

You want to paint on a Sphere? As in unwrapping it out like an orange peel (or how most standard maps work)?
You can try Blender 3D (free) or ZBush (commercial).
I'm not sure how well you can flatten the image to print a flat map. (as spheres and the 2d world just don't like each other mathematically)
I hope that helps.

As of the end of the games on Saturday November 23rd, these are the full list of Compu-Picks ratings. Remember that this is a predictive model, designed to pick games and show how good a team actually is. Its results can be very different from what you'll see elsewhere. Also, please note that the model does not consider games against AA teams; the * marks for result and schedule rankings designate that these are results and schedules solely counting games against fellow 1-A programs.
Please note that this article is continued here and here. Data supporting this article comes from cfbstats.com, , Pinnacle Sports, and others.
Some thoughts on the list:
1) One fun thing I've done in prior years is track the "Compu-Picks Curse," whereby teams that Compu-Picks thinks the BCS has substantially overrated have a strong tendency to have embarrasingly bad performances (blowout losses to strong teams or outright upsets to teams they outrank in the BCS). One special highlight of this process was in 2010, when Michigan State was a regular on the list and managed to get blown out twice by two teams ranked lower in the BCS, Iowa and Alabama. One highlight this year was Miami, who got blown out by Florida State and lost to Virginia Tech on consecutive weeks while posted on this list (and then lost at Duke the next week though their rank fell far enough to avoid the "Curse").
These teams are identified by the difference between their rating and the rating of the team whose Compu-Picks rank matches their BCS rank. So for instance, Clemson is BCS #6, so their Compu-Picks score of 0.58 is compared to the Compu-Picks 6th ranked Ohio State, who has a score of 0.69. Since the difference is at least 0.10, they qualify for the "Compu-Picks Curse." The following teams make this week's list:

2) One consistent theme that pops up when I've done these analyses the past few years is that Compu-Picks gives a lot more weight to schedule strength and dominance than does the BCS, and a lot less weight to simple W/L record and head to head. The same thing is true this time around.
3) After Baylor's and Oregon's crushing losses last week, not only is the national title race Alabama and Florida State's to lose, so is the race to the top of the Compu-Picks ratings. These have been the two most dominant teams in the country, and while neither has played anything close to an exceptional schedule, neither have any of the top ten most dominant teams.
4) Probably the most jarring result here is that Oregon and Baylor are still shown in the top ten, though they are much closer to the next two teams than they are to the top two teams. I've delved into why Compu-Picks still has these two teams materially ahead of BCS #s 3 and 4 Ohio State and Auburn in a separate feature, link here.
5) It's been said before that schedule strength gets rewarded by Compu-Picks, and Arizona St, Washington and Georgia are continued proof of this. Each of them has a 1-A schedule rated in the top 10, and each of them is in Compu-Picks' top twenty five while being unranked (Washington and Georgia) or underranked (ASU) by the BCS.
Arizona St has played an elite schedule and done very well against it. They (controversially) beat Wisconsin, beat up USC, smoked Washington and won very comfortably at Washington State. They also lost to Notre Dame and by 14 at Stanford in a game that wasn't even that close, but overall there's a lot of resume heft there.
Washington is another good example. The Huskies annihilated a legitimately decent Boise team, won a cross-county trip to Illinois, blew out Arizona, blew out Oregon State on the road, and very nearly won at a top 10 Stanford team. Their Oregon and ASU losses were obviously ugly, and the UCLA loss didn't help, but overall this has been a solid resume.
Georgia's story feels almost repetitive at this point. A solid 11 point win over South Carolina, a win over a very good LSU team, a win over Florida and a win at Tennessee (which surprisingly means something this year) are all nice add-ons to the resume. A 15-point loss at Mizzou and a 4-point loss at Vandy definitely don't help, but there's no shame at all in a 3-point loss at Clemson (who's been very good this year, just not good enough to hang with FSU) or a five point loss at Auburn that came down to a fourth down hail mary. 4 losses is 4 losses, but this is still a good team. Not quite top 10 as I've seen on some Vegas ranks, but still top 25.
6) Another thing Compu-Picks rewards is dominance, and Wisconsin and Baylor are clear examples of this.
Even with the blowout loss to Oklahoma State, on average Baylor has still been extremely dominant. They blew out Oklahoma 41-12, Texas Tech 63-34, etc. IN fact, up until the OK St loss, the only team to even stay within 10 points was Kansas State losing 35-25.
Meanwhile, Wisconsin. Talk about kicking ass and taking names. The Badgers have two losses (a controversial 2-point loss at ASU and a 7-point close game at Ohio State) and have otherwise generally been clobbering teams. They've totally taken care of business against awful UMass and Purdue teams, winning 45-0 and 41-10. They blew out Northwestern 35-6 and Illinois 56-32. They won by 19 at Iowa. They won by 13 at Minnesota. They beat a solid BYU team by 10. And they absolutely annihilated Indiana 51-3. That's a lot of dominance, even if the schedule has only been fairly mediocre.
7) On the flip side, it's still unclear exactly what the BCS sees in Oklahoma. The Sooners have played an utterly average schedule and have been far from dominant, beating West Virginia by just 9, TCU by just 3, Kansas by just 15, and they lost by 16 to Texas and 29 to Baylor. The BCS sees something in the Sooners, but damned if I can figure out what.
Fresno State and Northern Illinois have played utter embarrsasment schedules and only NIU has actually dominated. Neither has any individual performances close to elite level, and both have struggled in games that contenders for BCS at-large spots shouldn't, such as Fresno nearly finishing a collapse at awful Hawaii (won by 5), needing overtime to beat Rutgers by just one point (the same Rutgers that almost lost at home to Temple, that Louisville beat by 14 and that Houston obliterated), and getting taken to overtime by San Diego State. Or Northern Illinois beating awful Idaho by just 10, and Akron by just 7 at home. Neither of these teams has any business heading ot the BCS. Barring a major improvement, if either runs the table and makes the BCS, it looks like 2007 Hawaii all over again.
8) Back to the BCS, but probably not for long, is Notre Dame. They're a 3-loss AQ team, who hasn't played much of a schedule. They lost to Pitt and Michigan, they struggled against Purdue and Navy, and even their best wins (Michigan State, ASU, USC) were all three or four point wins. This is a team who's questionable to be in the top 25 even if you ignore margins, and when you throw in that Michigan and Oklahoma beat them by double digits, and they still haven't beaten anyone good by even a touchdown, it's hard to think they've played top 25 quality football this season. On the other hand, Stanford could be in a for a letdown in a game that almost doesn't matter for them, so you never know, the Irish could hang on to top 25 status until bowl season.

Originally written on Mets Merized Online | Last updated 3/4/13
UPDATED 3:00 PM Good news for the Mets… Center fielder Kirk Nieuwenhuis was diagnosed with a bone bruise in his left knee and avoided any ligament damage. Adam Rubin reported the news after Nieuwenhuis returned from his MRI. Mets will treat him with anti-inflammatory medication and he'll miss a couple of days. Looks like the team dodged a bullet…. JD * * * * * * * * Yesterday brought some tough news for those concerned with the already troubled state of the Mets outfield, as Kirk Nieuwenhuis was carted off the field after the seventh inning of the Mets-Marlins match-up. He left with what was originally being diagnosed as a bruised left knee injury, but the severity of the injury is still unclear. He will have an MRI and further tests performed today. The Mets ended up dropping the game to the Marlins, 6-4, but the primary concern post-game was the condition of Kirk's knee. According to Adam Rubin, Kirk tried to downplay the injury when asked about it, but he was having trouble simpl...

Special education teachers in secondary schools help instruct and guide children with mild or moderate disabilities. They adapt a general curriculum so that it meets the specific needs of these individuals and ensure it helps students acquire vital basic skills they will need in the future. Special education teacher identify each student's needs and collaborate with the child's guardians (and possibly therapists, social workers, and other teachers) to ensure the student achieves maximum possible educational development. These teachers' students may have a wide variety of challenges, and individual students' plans may vary widely.Read More...
Special education teachers must be a organized, able to manage time and workload effectively. They must also be creative and highly adaptive, finding ways to make the necessary curriculum understood to a variety of students. Excellent communication skills are essential to communicate with students, parents, and other individuals who help provide education and care to students. Patience and instructional abilities are required as well.
Educational requirements for special education teaching positions vary from state to state. A minimum of a bachelor's degree in education is typically required in most states, as well as relevant state licensing. A master's degree in special education is required in some states, as are professional assessments.

Though not the most common occurrence, Secondary School Special Education Teachers sometimes become Directors of Special Education, where the average income is $74K per year. More often than not, a Middle School Special Education Teacher role is the next step for Secondary School Special Education Teachers moving up in the field. Pay for Middle School Special Education Teachers is usually $42K. Many Secondary School Special Education Teachers choose to take on an Assistant Principal role instead, where salaries are typically $65K.
Secondary School Special Education Teachers generally report applying a varied skill set to their work. Most notably, facility with Teaching, Behavior Management, and Oral / Verbal Communication are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 29 percent, 9 percent, and 8 percent, respectively.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience seems to be a major factor in determining the incomes of Secondary School Special Education Teachers. The average inexperienced worker earns $41K, and someone who has worked for five to 10 years can expect a bigger median salary of $47K. Secondary School Special Education Teachers with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $51K. Secondary School Special Education Teachers who have spent more than 20 years on the job report earning a significantly higher median of $63K.

Audit Report 1-10: Audit of an Early Defaulted Loan
On March 9, 2001, the OIG issued Audit Report 1-10, Audit of an Early Defaulted Loan. The SBA is authorized under Section 7(a) of the Small Business Act to provide financial assistance to small businesses in the form of government guaranteed loans. Those loans guaranteed by the SBA are made by participating lenders under an agreement to originate, service, and liquidate loans in accordance with SBA rules and regulations. This loan, approved by a Preferred Lenders Program partner, was selected, judgmentally, for review as part of the Office of Inspector General's ongoing program to audit SBA guaranteed loans that defaulted within 36 months of origination.
The objective of the audit was to determine if the borrower's default was due to lender or borrower non-compliance with SBA requirements. The loan, which carried a 75 percent SBA guarantee, was approved for one amount but was increased twice for relocation of the business and construction overruns. The borrower defaulted on this loan nine months after the first disbursement. The OIG found that the lender did not follow SBA lending procedures and that the borrower circumvented loan disbursement procedures. The OIG made two recommendations.

Cabrera hits 2 long HRs, Tigers edge Yankees 4-3
Rick Porcello allowed a run and six hits in six innings for the Tigers, and Detroit held on through an eventful seventh. Phil Coke allowed consecutive singles to start the inning, and Joaquin Benoit came on for the Tigers.
After Jeter's sacrifice, Granderson hit a foul pop toward the New York dugout that made it out of play. Plate umpire Bob Davidson then signaled an ejection, and Girardi came out onto the field to argue. In an animated argument near home plate, Girardi threw his hat to the ground, and by the time it was over, he and Long had both been tossed.
Granderson struck out, and Rodriguez reached for an outside pitch and hit a popup to end the inning.
New York starter Hiroki Kuroda allowed two runs and seven hits in seven innings.
NOTES: There was a 39-minute rain delay in the bottom of the first. ... Detroit's Prince Fielder extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a fourth-inning double. ... Girardi said "everything went well" with RHP David Robertson's throwing session. Robertson has a strained oblique. Girardi also said RHP Joba Chamberlain threw a "half-mound" - he dislocated his ankle in March. ... New York RHP David Aardsma, who had elbow ligament replacement surgery last July, threw 20 pitches during his first batting practice session at the Yankees' complex in Tampa, Fla. ... Detroit ace Justin Verlander (5-3) takes the mound Saturday against Phil Hughes (4-5).

The purpose of the paper is to introduce a frame-based approach to scientific computing on distributed computing platforms. The objective of the effort is to introduce well-defined mappings between the representations of physical phenomena as mathematical structures and the computational algorithms for modeling that phenomena on high-performance parallel computing platforms. Using this approach, we identify representations that solve classes of scientific problems based on the computational structure required for solution on parallel processors. Thus, once the representation is defined for a particular problem, the mapping onto a parallel computing environment can be managed automatically in software. We demonstrate the benefits of this approach by application to a combustion modeling problem

Jason Spezza Doesn't Want To Play In Canada
News Desk
Follow @ SportsTalkFLA
Though the Calgary Flames can be counted on as one of the teams to reportedly make a bid on Ottawa Senators captain Jason Spezza, they might not have a great shot at landing him.
According to the Ottawa Sun, Spezza doesn't want to play there or anywhere else in the country.
Spezza, who has requested a trade, has reportedly put the Flames, Winnipeg Jets, Vancouver Canucks, and Edmonton Oilers on his list of 10 teams he won't move to.
Senators GM Bryan Murray doesn't want to trade Spezza within the Atlantic Division, so that likely rules out the Toronto Maple Leafs and Montreal Canadiens regardless of whether or not Jason Spezza bothered to put them on the list.

Suspects arrested in police officer fatal hit-run
Police have arrested three suspects in the hit-and-run accident that claimed the life of a New Orleans police officer.
Police early Tuesday booked Justin McKey, 25, with manslaughter and hit and run. Police said McKey was allegedly driving the 2013 Porsche Panamera that hit Officer Rodney Thomas on Sunday about 1 a.m. Police also booked the owner of the car, Kenneth Halley, 28, and the owner of the body shop where the damaged car was found, Bill Cager, 34, with obstruction of justice and accessory after the fact to manslaughter.
Thomas, 52, was on his way home from work when he was involved in a minor accident on Interstate 10. He was struck as he got out of his car to check on the other driver.
McKey's bond was set Tuesday at $50,000, while Cager was being held on a $100,000 bond.
Bond information for Halley was not immediately available.
Funeral services are scheduled Friday at Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans.
Visitation will be held from 8:30 a.m. until 10 a.m. with services to follow. Following the service, a procession will pass the 2nd District Station on Magazine Street, where he worked, before ending at Lake Lawn Cemetery.
Thomas was attending the police academy when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. He stayed with the department and served for the past eight years.

Novostrana v0.40 (Final)Nov 4, 2011 Full Version 0 comments
This is the Internal version of the game that was being worked on before the project was canceled. There are likely to be many bugs. You are welcome to...
Novostrana is a Fantasy RPG currently in development by RPG Magic.
Our aim is to create a world that feels alive and has a rich history and culture. We also hope to introduce features and ideas never before seen in a game made with RPG Maker XP.
Novostrana will be free to download and play. No strings attached!
Please note that although many of these features are in the current release, some will be included in the next release.
Novostrana v0.30 has been to released to the public. This is an incomplete version of the game, but gives an idea of what you can expect from the full release of Novostrana.
You can also talk about Novostrana on our forums, report bugs and offer any ideas you might have about how the game can be improved.
16 comments by CountVlad on May 14th, 2010
The new version of the game can be found in our 'Downloads' section and is about 80MB. We have decided not to make a patch for this version because so much has changed that the patch would have to be quite large anyway.
In total, this version includes 70 different changes from the previous version of the game. There are far too many to list in this news article, but you can view what has changed by going to the 'Downloads' section and clicking on 'read more +' in the file description.
Here are a few of the major new features that have been added:
This game has been tested on a High-End PC running Windows 7 and has been bug tested for any glaring errors and crashing bugs. It should work on most PCs running Windows 98 or higher.
If you would like to suggest a new feature for the game or to report any bugs, please visit our website.
This is the Internal version of the game that was being worked on before the project was canceled. There are likely to be many bugs. You are welcome to...
This patch fixes several serious issues with v0.30.
This is the installer for the latest version of Novostrana. For more details about what is included in this release, please see the Changelog below.
No updates in almost a year?!
I know. I kinda forgot about it for a while and did other things in the mean-time.
The good news is that I have been working on it over the past few months, though I haven't been able to spend much time on it.
I'll publish a proper progress report soon. I have a two week holiday coming up in a few days, so I'll probably do it then.
Any news?
Development of this project has ceased, but I'm using most of the code in a new project that won't be properly announced until it's a few weeks from completion and may never be completed. I'm not going to properly announce it because I don't want it to end in disappointment for people like this one. Even if it does get completed, it will take at least a few months to be finished.
I'm sorry to everyone who was looking forward to this. I'm going to release the latest "Internal" build of the game so that people can use it as a base for their own game if they want to.
Look nice. One of the better RPG maker games I've seen around here :)
lol. Yes...?
It is good to see signs of life in this project once again. I'm looking forward to the next update.
Thanks for your patience. I'll try to keep everyone updated.
Any news?
Production is paused again. Sorry, I sometimes have to stop when I feel uninspired about it because I find that the game starts to become boring to play as well when I'm in that kind of mood.
I'm also working on a couple of other, much quicker and easier ideas at the moment.
The good news is that I've made thirty different changes to the next version of the game so that when it gets released it will be much more stable and much better looking than the current version. It also has some new features already implemented, such as the new disease system where you can contract diseases from fighting some monsters and animals.

Merino /məˈriːnoʊ/[2] is a town in the Western District of Victoria, Australia. The town is located in the Shire of Glenelg local government area, 363 kilometres west of the state capital, Melbourne. At the 2011 census, Merino had a population of 364.[1]
The first European settlement of the area was in 1837, when Francis Henty, brother of Edward Henty, established Merino Downs station. Henty established the station after a report on the high quality pasture from explorer Major Thomas Mitchell at the Henty property near Portland.[3] A store and post office agency was established in 1854 and the first town lots were sold the next year. An official Post Office opened on 1 June 1858.[4] The town continued to grow through the 1850s and 1860s with the construction of churches, hotels and schools. In 1870, the courthouse was moved from Digby to Merino. The Merino co-operative butter factory was established around 1885. After World War I, the area was opened up for soldier settlement. In 1955 Merino was connected to the electricity grid.[5]
Golfers play at the course of the Merino Golf Club on Digby Road.[6]

Fear and Hope = Love
Today we discussed the topic of fear and hope. This really made me think. My personal opinion is that love really is the basis of fear and hope.
Now think for a moment, think abt someone you really love best example would be your mother, or anyone else. And if youve never loved someone I guess you can just think of whatever youve read or heard or known abt love.
Normally when you love someone, youre always in fear that u might hurt that person, displease him. But at the same time you have hope that youll be able to keep them happy and will be able to get love in return from that person. You know that because the person loves u, they will forgive any mistake u do. Our mother for example, most of the time, has always forgiven our mistakes because of her love for us. Knowing that, why dont we disrespect her and follow our own desire because we know in the end for sure shell forgive us? Because we dont want her to be hurt, after all the love we got from her, we know that she deserves more than that. When were kids of course our fear of our mothers anger is due to the punishment we get afterwards, but as we grow older and understand motherhood, the purpose of our fear changes. We fear to not being able to get love from her. We fear to hurt her, all because of the love we have for her.
Now Allah (subhanahu wa taala), of course, loves us so many times more than our mother. He is our Master, and subhanallah he loves us more than we love Him. Now what we got to work on is increasing our love for Allah (subhanahu wa taala)
Eventually as we learn abt His qualities, we could so easily fall in love with Him. Usually as u get to know someone with good qualities more and more, you fall in love with such a person, because of his qualities. Now who could possibly have better qualities than Allah (subhanahu wa taala). We just have to learn abt these qualities.
Another thing . when you love someone very dearly, you want to learn more and more abt that person, you want to learn his likes and dislikes so you try to find out as much as you can abt them. So once you know, you try to love what they love, and hate what they hate, because of fear that you might not be able to please them and get love in return. And since you can never know if one loves you or not, you keep hoping that they do and keep hoping that if they do love you then they will forgive or ignore your mistakes. Now, imagine the same scenario, but with Allah (subhanahu wa taala) as the One you truly love. All this to say that we can have a stable amount of fear and hope if we strengthen our love wallahu alam.
Now inshaAllah, I pray that this class will help us understand and learn abt our Creator, Allah (subhanahu wa taala). And once we will know a little more about what He wants from us, what He likes and dislikes, we will apply it in our life purely for His sake and for our love for Him. Ameen!
p.s. sorry for the length, but hey its amazing how I actually typed all this knowing how lazy I am when it comes to writing. This wont happen very often.

Re: Fear and Hope = Love
from tafsir ibn kathir
[قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ - قُلْ أَطِيعُواْ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْكَـفِرِينَ ]
(31. Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me (i.e. Muhammad), Allah will love you and forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'')
(32. Say: "Obey Allah and the Messenger.'' But if they turn away, then Allah does not like the disbelievers.)
Allah's Love is Attained by Following the Messenger
This honorable Ayah judges against those who claim to love Allah, yet do not follow the way of Muhammad . Such people are not true in their claim until they follow the Shari`ah (Law) of Muhammad and his religion in all his statements, actions and conditions. It is recorded in the Sahih that the Messenger of Allah said,
«مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا لَيْسَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُنَا فَهُوَ رَد»
(Whoever commits an act that does not conform with our matter (religion), then it will be rejected of him.)
This is why Allah said here,
[قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ]
(Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you...'') meaning, what you will earn is much more than what you sought in loving Him, for Allah will love you. Al-Hasan Al-Basri and several scholars among the Salaf commented, "Some people claimed that they love Allah. So Allah tested them with this Ayah;
[قُلْ إِن كُنتُمْ تُحِبُّونَ اللَّهَ فَاتَّبِعُونِى يُحْبِبْكُمُ اللَّهُ]
(Say (O Muhammad to mankind): "If you (really) love Allah, then follow me, Allah will love you...''). ''
Allah then said,
[وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَاللَّهُ غَفُورٌ رَّحِيمٌ]
("And forgive you your sins. And Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.'') meaning, by your following the Messenger , you will earn all this with the blessing of his mission. Allah next commands everyone,
[قُلْ أَطِيعُواْ اللَّهَ وَالرَّسُولَ فإِن تَوَلَّوْاْ]
(Say: "Obey Allah and the Messenger.'' But if they turn away) by defying the Prophet ,
[فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْكَـفِرِينَ]
(then Allah does not like the disbelievers.) thus, testifying that defiance of the Messenger's way constitutes Kufr. Indeed, Allah does not like whoever does this, even if he claims that he loves Allah and seeks a means of approach to Him, unless, and until, he follows the unlettered Prophet, the Final Messenger from Allah to the two creations: mankind and the Jinn. This is the Prophet who, if the previous Prophets and mighty Messengers were to have been alive during his time, they would have no choice but to follow, obey him, and to abide by his Law. We will mention this fact when we explain the Ayah,
[وَإِذْ أَخَذَ اللَّهُ مِيثَـقَ النَّبِيِّيْنَ]
(And (remember) when Allah took the Covenant of the Prophets) [3:81], Allah willing.
Each day we wake up, we are faced with a decision:
Use this as a day to come closer to Allah SWT
let it pass by as another wasted day

Re: Fear and Hope = Love
Love of Allah subhanahu wa ta`ala
by Imam Ibn ul Qayyim al Jawziyyah
Madarij as-Saalikeen, vol. 3, pp. 17-18.
Quoted in "The Delight of Faith" by Abdullah bin Jarullah al-Jarullah
(Transl. J. Zarabozo; © Dar as-Salaam, 1996)
Ibn al-Qaiyim mentioned ten causes that result in Allah's love for His slave and the slave's love for his Lord. [These ten are:]
First, reciting the Qur'an while pondering over its meanings and what is meant by it.
Second, getting closer to Allah by performing voluntary deeds after completing obligatory deeds. This is as is stated in a Hadith Qudsi: "My slave continues getting closer to Me by performing voluntary deeds until I love him." [al-Bukhari]
Third, continual remembrance of Allah under all circumstances, with one's tongue, heart and actions. The extent of one's love of Allah is determined by this.
Fourth, giving precedence to what He loves over what you love when you are overtaken by your desires.
Fifth, the heart being avid of Allah's Names, and Attributes and the heart roaming in that garden of knowledge.
Sixth, observing Allah's kindness, goodness and bounties, both hidden and open.
Seventh, and this is the most wonderful, the heart being soft, subdued and meek before Allah.
Eighth, being alone with Allah during the time when the Lord descends during the last portion of the night while reading His Book and ending that by asking for forgiveness and repenting.
Ninth, sitting with the beloved and sincere, benefitting from the most fruitful of their speech. And not to speak unless speaking is more beneficial and you know that it will improve your state and be beneficial to others.
Tenth, remaining away from every cause that comes between the heart and Allah.
These ten causes take the lovers to the station of true love and bring them to their Beloved.
Each day we wake up, we are faced with a decision:
Use this as a day to come closer to Allah SWT
let it pass by as another wasted day
What will we decide today

A couple of my assignments that ran in the newspaper over the weekend had similar out of the ordinary photo restrictions. Inside the Camden County Jail for piece by Inquirer columnist Kevin Riordan, I was told I could not use names or photograph inmates' faces during a weekly meeting of women inmates in the jail's Second Chance program.
One of the great things about working a night shift is that sometimes I have a camera in my hands as the sun sets. It's not like I see a beautiful sky and find myself on the way to pick up the kids kids or in the grocery store parking lot. Last week I was in a parking lot, but taking pictures as the sky changed from grey to pink.
Click here, or on one of the photos for a slide show of the Thursday night gathering of the Roxborough Ridge Runners as they bring out their rides, their classic cars, to the Ivy Ridge shopping center for a weekly parking lot cruise.
I was in downtown Media for a restuarant review. It was also weekly "Dining Under the Stars" evening.
Over the years I've seldom ever been refused at a place of worship, even when showing up at the "last minute" asking for permission to take pictures, especially around the times of celebrations. I've always been able to knock at the door of a church, synagogue, temple, meeting house, shrine, chapel, mandir, or mosque and as long as I approach people the right way, find some kind of photographic accommodation.
In Tuesday's newspaper is another in an occasional series on health care in a typical community hospital by Inquirer writer Michael Vitez. He has been embedded with Abington Memorial Hospital since last fall.
This installment, with my photos, is about the issues involved in trying to improve the outcomes for preemies.
Like everything else in life, assignments for the newspaper seem to come in cycles (I'm not talking about shooting lots of high school sports in the fall, or snow photos during the winter). Sometimes I'll get a press conference every day for a week, other times it seems I end up doing a bunch of restaurant reviews.
Mostly it a product of my scheduling. I'm currently on a 2 p.m. to 10 p.m. shift, so those hours dictate a lot of the kinds of assignments I receive.
Lately it's been lots of portraits and quasi-set up photos. The kind where you end up telling someone, "just keep doing what you would normally be doing if I weren't here...but do it with the CEO standing right next to you and your boss looking over your shoulder and with the public relations person shooting video for the company website. Oh yeah, and pretend I'm not here."
So this week, when the Camden library board suddenly announced it's preparing to permanently close all its libraries, and I was diverted from one assignment to swing by the main downtown branch, grabbing a librarian in the office would have been more expeditious -- I still had to get to my original assignment -- but I really wanted to avoid another posed portrait.
In Wednesday's newspaper is the latest in an occasional series on health care in a typical community hospital by Inquirer writer Michael Vitez. He has been embedded with Abington Memorial Hospital since last fall.
His story, with my photos, is about Jenkintown oral surgeon Steve Moriconi who went to help with Haiti's desperate medical needs and couldn't forget what he'd seen. He was determined to see one case through.
A ship loaded with new Hyundai and Kia cars docked at Packer Avenue Marine Terminal in South Philadelphia Monday evening. They were to be unloaded on Tuesday. This is the first of six ships that have already sailed from Korea with 18,000 cars arriving here in the next month. I made this photo from the NJ side of the river.
As Hyundai has only one manufacturing facility in the country (in Alabama) most of the vehicles sold in the US are imported, so Philadelphia's new auto-finishing facility could see some 100 ships a year filled with cars - and a few hundred new jobs. I'd been sent downstream to Marcus Hook to photograph its arrival on the Delaware River.

31 year old woman | Boston, MA, USA | Seeking men 29-39 within 25 miles
I'm vivacious, caring, and intelligent--love traveling, laughing, trying new things, and spending time outdoors with friends and family.
My hope is to find a best friend with amazing chemistry. Someone who knows himself and what he wants...but is open to growing as a person. A sense of humor is a must! I love being outdoors, especially near the ocean. I am content to lie in the sun and read with a big glass of iced tea or mix it up and go swimming, waterskiing, kayaking, or paddle-boarding. I'm a vegetarian (have been for years) but won't judge you if you order a juicy steak. I like going to the theater, art exhibits, concerts, and any kind of dance performance. I have minimal formal dance training but I love to dance--either as a form of exercise or just to let loose on the dance floor. I'm passionate about my work. I geek out over Orthodontics and adore treating my patients. Adolescent kids have so much more insight than we give them credit for and it's a privilege to be a part of these patients' lives. While I love my field, science isn't my strong suit--my first love is literature, followed closely by philosophy. I read a lot. Novels, essays, magazines, newspapers, and the occasional self-improvement book. I believe in evolving and making the most of life. The time I spend alone is crucial to my happiness, so please don't take it personally if I want to chill out on my own on occasion. The man I'm looking for is kind, genuine, highly intelligent, and even-keeled. Ideally, you have inner strength and self-awareness; a confidence that doesn't require constant bragging or show-boating. You know who you are and when to pick your battles. You enjoy a woman who is full of life, accomplished, and tough, but you know how to hold me when I've had a tough day or I'm feeling vulnerable. You have friends and family who are important to you and you make time for them. You don't need alcohol to enjoy yourself but don't mind having a few drinks now and again. You love your career but it doesn't consume you. You are well-educated and well-traveled (or at least have travel aspirations). You value life-balance and you understand that if you feel like you don't have enough hours in the day to do the things that are important to you, then it's probably time to re-prioritize. A final disclaimer...lists and criteria are well and good but they are meaningless without that special connection that can only be found by meeting someone and getting to know them in real life.
Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Gardening/Landscaping , Movies/Videos , Museums and art , Music and concerts , Nightclubs/Dancing , Performing arts , Playing sports , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports

Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY
I love wandering around Boston and taking in what it has to offer--art exhibits, new restaurants, concerts, dancing, tv, dancing, skiing, pilates...and traveling as much as possible.
Exploring Boston, going out to dinner, checking out an art exhibit or a live show. I love the beach and any kind of chiil vacationing or hard-core traveling On the weekends in the winter I make the most of cold weather by skiing.
I just finished Lowland by Jhumpa Lahiri and Special Topics in Calamity Physics by Marsha Pessel. I enjoy fiction, philosophy, and fashion magazines.

Winning streak ends for USI women's soccer team
Lewis shuts down Eagles all over the field
EVANSVILLE - By getting beat to the ball most of the game, the University of Southern Indiana women's soccer team ended up being beaten.
USI didn't look anything like the team that had won its last four matches on Sunday. Lewis' lone goal at 68:36 didn't come close to illustrating how much the Flyers dominated the match in their 1-0 Great Lakes Valley Conference victory at Strassweg Field.
They looked faster than the Eagles. They also looked tougher.
"I think they played more physical than us," said USI coach Krissy Engelbrecht.
Some of the blame belonged squarely on USI.
"We needed to go in harder," she said. "I think we got frustrated. We were trying to go too far up the middle, and that's not how we play."
Almost every time the Eagles (5-3-0, 4-2-0 GLVC) crossed midfield, the Flyers (6-2-0, 4-2-0) swarmed around the ball. But when USI chucked it into the box, Lewis always seemed to be there, marking every USI player in the area.
It was so bad the Eagles only managed one shot on goal, which came from freshman forward Madi Vellky in the first half. USI's other two leading scorers, senior forward Susan Ellsperman and junior forward Julia Kohnen, squeezed off just three shots between them as USI finished with six shots to Lewis' 15.
"I think we came out a little flat," said Ellsperman, who leads the Eagles with five goals this season.
Engelbrecht thought her team might have been a little tired after its 2-1 overtime victory over visiting Wisconsin-Parkside on Friday. But then, Lewis had a lot to say about how Sunday's game was played.
"We had trouble finding space on the field," said Ellsperman. "If anything, we weren't taking advantage of what Lewis gave us. We should have taken people in line (into the box in front of the goal) and made crosses."
On defense, the Eagles had trouble keeping up with the Flyers. But when USI got more aggressive, Lewis took advantage.
The Flyers' goal was a case in point.
USI freshman goalkeeper Jackie Lohmann had decided to rush out past the top of the box to try to block a Lewis shot. But when she fell, the Flyers' Jessica Saffell merely had to dribble a couple of more feet before booting the ball into the empty net.
USI next travels to Saint Joseph's College on Friday and to the University of Indianapolis next Sunday.
n USI's men's team pushed its winning streak to three games — its first three-game win streak since 2009 — with a 3-2 overtime victory over Lewis on Sunday at Strassweg Field.
Senior midfielder Austin Andrekus scored 6:06 into the overtime off passes from Jeffrey McClure and Danny Pratte.
The Eagles raised their record to 5-3-0, 4-2-0 in the GLVC, while Lewis dropped to 3-5-0, 3-3-0.

43 year old man | Wake Forest, NC, USA | Seeking women 25-48 within 50 miles
i learned that along the way...insurance pays for that kind of flood 8-)
ps, all these pics r pretty old, i'll update soon 8-p Need to find the lady to compliment each other, she helps me, I help her, and we knock it out as team mates. Both of us can be so much more productive in this war if we just find each other. In the past year I have found myself. I plan to go into business for myself in IT, with a store front and company car. Car probably tomorrow/ store front with in a few weeks. Scary. Never done this before, but too many people are just telling me to just do it... I am 7 yrs divorced and 6 yrs sober (do the math). I do have baby mamma drama, but the drama bombs are hilarious. Apparently I am too busy to worry about it till I walk past my daughter's pic on the wall, or hear a song. I don't live with my parents. I don't care if u drink, heck, get drunk at the Earth Wind and Fire concert. I'll drive u and ur friends home with a smile on my face feeding off ur drunk butts. I smoke cigarettes like a French dude (with a Duke Doc's consent). I have trouble sleeping. I am very involved in the rooms where I learned how to live. I owe those people my life. "That's how we kept what we gave away." I play guitar and sing in bars for $$. If that's what u find interesting about me then move along, please... I didn't fall in love with that baker girl cause of her cupcakes, but, she did with me cause I express my self in public? I believe in 100% forgiveness and 100% trust once someone apologizes. So, I think I'm going to go with the Catholics on that 1. A big conversion process I know, however, when that guy in the fancy dress blessed me the other day I liked it. I liked it a lot. As for you, funny, sarcastic, get it done mentality, mentally and physically stable (or working on it), thyroid problem=no worries here, commit to being on time (if u PROMISE to be there, then be there... variables happen, keep in contact to the best of ur abilities...then show up a day late, no problem. Pretty on the inside and out, any job or something worthwhile u spend ur day with, have kids, don't have kids, mature mind ( I know 25 women that r mature and I know 48 yr old girls), Be you, 100% trust, get it done, then cup cakes and gravy the rest of our days... I like the "interview" process, then the commitment discussion, then dating, then the question, then the date, and then all this suffering of ours is over. I know ur out there, canvasing the match.com thing one more time?

Electronics, other items stolen after break-in at Salvation Army in Bremerton
BREMERTON — It's the season of giving, but last week someone helped themselves to electronics at the Bremerton Salvation Army.
Salvation Army staff arrived at 8:30 a.m. Saturday and discovered two office computers, a server, stereo equipment and a guitar missing from inside the building, according to a Bremerton police report. The apparent burglary occurred sometime after 10:30 p.m. Friday, when the Sixth Street building was closed following a dinner.
It appeared someone had gained entry by breaking a window in the chapel. A chunk of concrete was found on the floor inside. Wires that were connected to the sound system had been neatly clipped.
The police report listed the value of the stolen goods and damage at about $850. Insurance should cover replacement and repairs.
Maj. Jim Baker, of the Salvation Army, said the theft was more frustrating than costly. The charity is in the midst of its busiest season.
"It just adds one more thing to the load," he said Monday.
The loss of the computers and server are especially irksome, Maj. Marcia Baker said. The computers are used for nearly every aspect of day-to-day operations, from recording Red Kettle information to setting appointments for clients. That work has to be done manually until the machines can be replaced, Marcia Baker said. She said data stored on the server was backed up and password protected, so it's unlikely the perpetrator can access any sensitive information.
The other stolen equipment — which included microphones, microphone stands, and a stereo system used for Sunday services — had little resale value.
"The sound system is so old it has cassette players," Jim Baker said.
Baker was upset by the loss of his personal guitar. He received the burgundy acoustic as a Christmas present years ago.
"It had some sentimental value," he said.
The Bakers believe someone familiar with the building was responsible for the break-in. The perpetrator appeared to know where the items were located and how to navigate the building.
Police had no suspects as of Saturday, according to the report. The Bakers still are reviewing surveillance video footage from Friday night.
Regardless the outcome of the investigation, Marcia Baker said the culprit will answer to a higher authority.
"God knows who did it," she said. "They're not going to have a moment's peace until they reconcile what they've done."
