Vt. lawmakers propose stricter gun lawsBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | February 02,2013Jeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff Photo
Capitol Police Chief Les Dimick, left, explains the features of various firearms to Rep. Mike Yantachka, D-Charlotte, center, and Jake Brown, right, of the Vermont Natural Resources Council, during a gun information session Friday in the Statehouse.MONTPELIER — Historically home to some of the most lax gun laws in the country, Vermont on Friday saw a group of lawmakers propose bills that would restrict high-capacity magazines and step up background checks for gun buyers.
The debate over gun restrictions is an odd one in Vermont, where residents range widely in their familiarity with guns. Some lawmakers even attended a sort of show-and-tell with the Capitol Police, where Chief Les Dimick provided firearms from his own collection and those of some friends to help legislators get acquainted with what they might be regulating.
Standing a few feet from a table where police had displayed weapons including a semi-automatic Colt AR-15 and a pair of hunting rifles, Rep. Suzi Wizowaty, D-Burlington, readily volunteered that she is not a gun person.
"Guns scare me. I would never want to have a gun in my own home," she said. "They scare me to death."
But as a member of the Judiciary Committee of the Vermont House, Wizowaty finds herself at the center of a debate already occurring in many places around the country and just coming to Vermont.
Among the proposals introduced Friday are bills that would extend background checks to purchases at gun shows and have state law match the federal ban on felons possessing firearms. Another provision would have the state Department of Mental Health share information with the federal background check system.
Lawmakers agreed it's too early to say what shape legislation might take.
Even at the news conference Friday, there was not unanimity on all the proposed changes. One of the invited speakers, Windham County Sheriff Keith Clark, said he would oppose a ban on magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds, saying it "would make criminals out of law-abiding Vermonters" who own them.
The push for legislation follows a spate of mass shootings around the country in recent years, including the massacre of 20 first-graders and six school staff at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., in December.
For some lawmakers, the debate is their first real exposure to guns.
"I think it's wonderful for us to know what we're talking about," Wizowaty said as she eyed Dimmick's display. "I've reached out to constituents to educate me, since I come to this knowing virtually nothing about guns."
Another who said he had little to no experience with firearms was Rep. William Lippert, D-Hinesburg, chairman of the House Judiciary Committee.
Lippert was vice chairman of the panel in 2000 when he was instrumental in passing the first-in-the-nation civil union law for same-sex couples.
Lippert, who is gay, said he found during that contentious debate that it was important for people from different cultural backgrounds to reach out to their neighbors and make personal connections.
He said he hoped for something similar this time and planned on taking advantage of invitations from constituents to meet with them about their firearm ownership. A personal connection between neighbors can help foster understanding, even if both parties disagree, he said.
"(I) may not agree with them on every issue, but it's not helpful for me to ... treat them as foreign to me," Lippert said.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Needy families with disabled adults will not see a reduction in the financial...

McCARR, Ky. - Direct descendants of the Hatfield and McCoy clan are in the spotlight in Mingo County once again, but this time it's for a completely different type of event.
The "Haunted McCoy Manor" is set to make its debut this Saturday night with a private showing for family and local media, as the two-story red brick home that appears to have stepped out of a Southern-based romance novel transforms into a haunted house for the public's entertainment and thrills.
The home is located at Lovers Lane in McCarr, Ky., and is owned by descendants of Asa Harmon McCoy and Devil Anse Hatfield. For the past two months, the owners have been working each and every day to complete the transformation of the first floor of the house that includes a three-foot wide maze, secret passageways and hidden doors.
Several businesses and individuals have made monetary donations to the project, joining with the homeowners to create a haunted house like the Tug Valley area has never seen before.
"We didn't want this to look like your run-of-the mill, typical haunted house," stated George Perkins, whose sister owns and resides in the home. "We have put a lot of effort into this and I'm sure that everyone that comes to view it will agree with me when I say it's truly a one-of-a-kind creation."=
"We have one room that creates the illusion that you're standing in another dimension. We've went all out on this project and we're hoping to have a lot of visitors take the tour."
The haunted manor will be open to the public every Friday and Saturday evening, beginning Oct. 5 and continuing through the end of the month, between the hours of 7 and 10 p.m. It will also be open Oct. 29 -31, during the week of Halloween. General admission for all age groups will be $5 a person.
"Our facebook page, titled 'The Haunted McCoy Manor' had over 8,000 views last week, and we've received a lot of compliments and positive statements. We're hopeful this means we're going to have a large number of visitors," said Perkins.
For more information on the Haunted McCoy Manor, call 606-427-0242.

NICEVILLE — Northwest Florida State College will host a grand opening and open house Wednesday at its new Activities Center.
The event, which is open to the public, will be held from 1 to 3 p.m.
The renovation of the 31,675-square-foot building, which was previously known as the College Mall, is the final phase of a $25.5 million project that included the construction of the three-story Student Services Center.
"The Activities Center … houses the college's Academic Success Center, a college store operated by Barnes & Noble, and the college's Student Activities program," NWFSC President Ty Handy said in an email to the Daily News on Monday. "Offices of Florida's Great Northwest, an independent economic development organization, are also located in the Activities Center."
The Academic Success Center provides students with free tutoring and other academic support.
"In just the last five years, we've seen an 83 percent increase in the number of student visits to our Academic Success Center — more than 16,000 recorded visits in 2011-12 alone," Handy added.
The new bookstore, which is already open, features a Barnes & Noble café serving Starbucks Coffee, an extensive technology section and used and new textbooks.
The new building also houses the offices for more than 30 active student groups.
"Student Activities are a vital part of engaging the student in college life and activities that enrich their lives and shape them as individuals and citizens," Handy said.
Those programs include student government, intramural sports, social clubs and academic groups.
The grand opening also will include the dedication of the new Janet Nadel Morell conference room, which is located in the Costa Leadership Institute on the third floor of the adjacent Student Services Center. Morell, a resident of Niceville, died in 2004, and family members established an endowment in her name. Earnings from the endowment will provide funds for equipment, instruction and program needs of the leadership institute.
Parking at the grand opening event is available in the lots adjacent to the Student Services Center.

Oglethorpe's mission to "make a life, make a living, make a difference" affects not only its students, but also touches lives in the global community. Last fall, Oglethorpe extended its global reach, becoming the new academic partner of Global LEAD, a purpose driven summer study abroad program. And this summer, students from more than 30 universities nationwide traveled to Greece, Ecuador, and Cape Town, South Africa to experience Global LEAD's unique combination of "Leadership, Education, Adventure and Diplomacy."
Oglethorpe's Dr. Kendra Momon, associate professor of politics and director of the Rich Foundation Urban Leadership Program, led 81 students on their month-long journey through Cape Town, South Africa. She served as the academic director for the group, instructing two courses: "Leadership in Action" and "Global Citizenship & Engagement."
What sets Global LEAD apart from other study abroad programs? The program combines academic curriculum with two weeks focused on service projects that expand upon the classroom learning. Living and serving in these underprivileged communities allows students to apply the principles they learn in classes and creates an immersive atmosphere that often transforms the lives of the students, as well as the members of the community they serve.
Oglethorpe's objective to make a difference is enriched by the Global LEAD program. "There is no doubt that we (made a difference) in Cape Town this summer," said Momon. "…Two weeks of the program, in rotation for the two student groups, are spent in local townships serving poor and disadvantaged children and teenagers."
The partnership opens up possibilities for Oglethorpe to spread the word about the school and its mission to create global citizens throughout the countries that Global LEAD serves, universities nationwide, and with the non-OU students who are exposed to the Oglethorpe curriculum and teaching. Students receive six Oglethorpe credit-hours while studying abroad with Global LEAD which are transferred to their home university. Oglethorpe's dynamic faculty are the perfect ambassadors for Oglethorpe. Dr. Momon, who showed her love for OU through her apparel and anecdotes, told me a story about Janine, a 13-year-old South African girl whom she got to know during their two weeks of service. "Janine asked me to give her something to remember me so I gave her my beloved black OU fitted cap which I've had for five years."
This year alone, Global LEAD and Oglethorpe will potentially change the lives of hundreds of students and people scattered around the globe. The partnership creates exciting possibilities for the future of Oglethorpe study abroad and global leadership opportunities.
Dr. Momon agrees. "I think the partnership is a great opportunity to extend our brand internationally as well as extend the scope of our motto to make a life, make a living, and make a difference."
To keep up with the experiences of students and Oglethorpe traveling with Global LEAD, visit their blog, which is updated frequently.

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel
0 Members and 1 Guest are viewing this topic.
sometimes I think ET confuses God training and correcting his children so they will be full grown with God torturing his children in the basement forever for not doing their chores. I've seen a lot of arguments saying "Well, he gave them plenty of chances to repent", but come on, in the scheme of forever our lifetime on earth wouldn't even amount to a second when compared to forever, thats not much time really when you throw in all of the obstacles here into the equation.
I think one way a lot of believers in hell justify this contradiciton is the heresy that only christians are our Heavenly Father's children through some legal contract established by them by believing the right doctrines.This is called the 'doctrine of adoption' which is really interesting when properly looked into. The word adoption didn't mean back then what it means today. Back then they would take their own child at a certain age and confirm it as theirs. It was not about anothers child being adopted. So the word adoption is properbly better translated as 'sonship' or 'childship'. When we see that Creator is also the Father of Creation, then we will also understand that He is responsible for all of it and not just for thos who belong to the right religion. But wasn't this also the trap into which the jews fell until Jesus came and messed up their theoloy?
Back then they would take their own child at a certain age and confirm it as theirs. It was not about anothers child being adopted. So the word adoption is properbly better translated as 'sonship' or 'childship'.
Since the Holy Spirit is the "parakletos" and Jesus is the "parakletos" with the Father, that means they are together, the triune God in perfect harmony coming to us to advocate, strengthen, console, comfort and help by transmitting to us by the Spirit the Father's love freely given in the grace of Christ. There is no courtroom scene here with one member of the trinity convincing another member not to be angry.
So you can repent now, blessed are those who believe and not seen. Or you can repent later, you see and now believe.

They start the music and practice dancing the Luke and Laura Dance. Lucy shuts the music off after hearing all of Port Charles' secrets in the lyrics. Richard defends his song as being the truth and doesn't care about offending Monica. He thinks Bobbie would let him do it. Lucy argues it's her Nurses' Ball. Epiphany breaks up the fight.

Fighting millennials' use of social media at work might be a lost cause, argues Adam Kronk, the director of the Notre Dame Deloitte Center for Ethical Leadership. Information-sharing is here to stay. However, CIOs and other leaders can still cultivate ethical organizations, including those that maintain confidentiality policies, by demonstrating the value of shared responsibilities, and they can use technology to promote employee engagement in pursuing company goals.

Duke, UNC begin the March
Duke and North Carolina moved on, while N.C. State got pushed out of the NCAA Tournament on Friday.
The Blue Devils and Tar Heels each posted wins in their openers, with the No. 2-seeded Blue Devils beating Albany 73-61 in Philadelphia while No 8-seed UNC topped Villanova 78-71 in Kansas City for Coach Roy Williams' 700th career victory.
But after starting the season ranked in the top 10 while being anointed the ACC favorite, No. 8 seed N.C. State saw its season end with a 76-72 loss to Temple in the East Regional at Dayton, Ohio.
Duke ended a modest two-game losing streak in NCAA Tournament play with its Midwest Regional win over America East champion Albany at Philadelphia's Wells Fargo Center.
After losing to Lehigh in its lone NCAA Tournament game a year ago, the Blue Devils (28-5) advance to play Creighton on Sunday. Duke needs a win there to reach the NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 round, which it reached in 2011 before being eliminated by Arizona.
UNC advanced in the South Regional in up-and-down fashion. The Tar Heels led by 20 points in the first half only to see Villanova rally to tie the game in the second half. But UNC played well down the stretch to post the win.
The Wolfpack, which reached the Sweet 16 a year ago, fell behind by 16 points at halftime and, despite a furious late rally, couldn't overcome the Owls.

So, I'm 8 weeks pregnant with #2.
With my son, I had severe pre-e and was induced at 34w2d. I had an appt with a MFM 2 weeks ago, and he said that there's no reason why this can't go on to be a normal pregnancy to full term. He said he'd write a letter to my ob suggesting that I get baseline lab & urinalysis, but that I could be treated by my regular ob. My BP was taken at this appt and was 118/78 (my non-pregnant BPs are typically right around there).
Well, last Friday I wasn't feeling well at all. I felt dizzy and nauseous, and basically couldn't do anything but lie down. On Saturday I felt better, but then developed a killer headache. And the past few days I've just felt a bit "off" so I had a co-worker take my BP today which was 142/78. So the systolic was a little high. I called my ob, and they told me to take it easy today and come in tomorrow for an appointment.
I'm just nervous because I'm only 8 weeks along. Anybody else experience something similar? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Look familiar? Sort of?
I first came across its sister phrase "Ars Gratia Artis" when I watched MGM movies as a kid and saw those words arcing over a roaring Leo the Lion as that movie company's motto. The translation, "Art for Art's Sake," I was told it meant that creating the best art possible could be for pleasure as well as for profit. Later I discovered it could also mean a larger scope of things, from "anything goes," to "beauty is in the eye of the beholder." Over the years I've preferred that initial information about appreciating good art, and I wanted to also appreciate good artists.
Hence the subject of this column, which translates to "Art for the Sake of Artists." Many thanks to Rita Carr, who gave me the correct phrase for the translation. Rita taught Latin for years at both Summerville and Fort Dorchester High Schools. She now teaches evening school classes for students working towards graduation and agrees that appreciating student efforts in whatever fields can only bring good results.
Summerville is well endowed with cultural art talent, including drama, music and writing and we have ample opportunities to appreciate these abilities. One of the best opportunities is available right now at Town Hall where the second annual Student Art Show has just been hung.
Meg Skow, visual art teacher at Rollings Middle School of the Arts and a prize winning photographer, has led the way for these shows and explains that this work represents Dorchester District 2's District Boardroom exhibits from the past several years. This work is among pieces submitted by each school. From that submitted, one piece was selected to represent each school.
"This work has been displayed for one year in the board room" says Meg, and the collection is special. "From the unveiling of the exhibit in the board room to the installation of the work in each school's permanent collection, this work represents excellence being created through our district's visual art programs. This work celebrates the accomplishments of each student as well as the success of our art programs."
As an art teacher she says "It's valuable to recognize these young artists while informing the public of the work being produced through the implementation of our art curriculum. This advocacy is exciting and informative."
Meg knows of what she speaks. She has three decades of experience in DD2 and is an award winning art educator on both regional and national levels. She is also nationally certified and this school year has taken a major part in planning the South Carolina Art Education Association state conference.
You can appreciate how unique this opportunity is for student artists as well as the public. The Town Hall show will hang all summer and be available for viewing during weekday business hours. Make it a point to take the time to come by and see the best work of our youth, which includes drawings, photos, printmaking and paintings. I promise, you'll be amazed and inspired Bring your children – and grandchildren – so our youth can also learn to appreciate the art of their contemporaries. I'm bringing my grands, especially two pre-teens who are already studying and producing art. They'll be inspired too.
The artists themselves can share in and be encouraged by our attendance. Remember: "Ars Gratia Artificum" can be the spark that ignites lifelong appreciation and even lifelong work.

Anyone interested in taking their child to trick or treat may stop by the YARD at the Yadkin Arts Council or the Yadkin county Library to pick up a flyer with a map.
Each participating business will have a sign on its door to let people know they are welcome to come in to trick or treat. The town asks that community members take note of the signs and not venture into non-participating stores asking for candy.
The Yadkinville Police Department will be on hand to oversee traffic and safety for the children who trick or treat.
Lowe said that the town decided to hold the event earlier in the day to make it convenient for business owners and families who might want to attend.
"We're having it earlier in the day so that we're not asking the businesses to stay open later and also because we don't want to interfere with church events or families plans to trick or treat in their neighborhoods," Lowe said.
Lowe said that he hopes this event will provide entertainment for local residents while increasing awareness of the businesses available to them this holiday season.
"I think it's going to be a very nice, little event," said Lowe. "We want to create more interest in downtown because we have a lot of nifty shops available to the community."

2012 Men's Volleyball AMCC All-Conference Awards
PITTSBURGH, PA – The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference announced the men's volleyball inaugural All-Conference team April 3. Hilbert's Adam Weaver and Ryan Ratajczak were recognized for their abilities and performances over the course of the 2012 season. Medaille College's Erin Kelly (Player of the Year) and Jordan James (Newcomer of the Year) were honored with the top individual awards and Penn State Behrend's Phil Pisano was named the Coach of the Year.
Weaver {in photo to right} was named as a First Team All-Conference player after leading the Hawks with 287 kills from the outside hitter's position. He completed the season ranked #2 in the AMCC with 3.30 kills per set and was one of three sophomores to be named to an all-conference team. Named as a Second Team All-Conference player, Ratajczak {in photo to left} finished his first year of collegiate play with 239 digs good for 2.75 digs per set, ranking him #2 in the AMCC. Ratajczak was the only freshman named to either of the two All-Conference teams announced.
Hilbert finished the season at 6-21, breaking a few records along the way. As a team, they won more matches in a season than any of the other team since the volleyball program was established during the 2000 season. The Hawks put up a good fight against the #7 ranked Nazareth College in February when Hilbert beat the Golden Flyers for the first time ever in their 25-21 second-set victory.
In the April 3 release of the NCAA Division III men's volleyball rankings, the Hawks sit at number eighteen with 10 digs per set. Individually, Ratajczak is ranked tenth in digs per set with 2.75. Weaver holds down the 20th slot with his 3.3 kills per set and freshman Stephen Phillips is ranked 34th with 7.18 assists per set.
Medaille grabbed four of the eight First Team selections, followed by D'Youville's two, while Behrend and Hilbert each earned one slot.
Medaille was crowned the inaugural AMCC men's volleyball champion after sweeping Hilbert in the semi-finals and D'Youville in the championship match, 3-0.

I could see the title would not appeal to those who chase the carrot however, much as GW1 held little appeal either.
For once I managed to save myself 60 bucks.

Posting your likes and dislikes about an MMO or a game is what IMO forums should be for. Not insulting others. So you are right I guess, maybe I dont know how it works around here on second thought.

But I didn't agree with anyone I argued with before. All I said was that the game got boring for me, and it took me a while to figure out why. I didn't want to say anything about it because I had a feeling in my gut that the people I argued with would twist my words around to fit their agenda and all around be an arrogant douche.
My view of GW2 is that I'm getting my moneys worth out of it . I played 30 pounds for it a couple of months ago and I'm still finding plenty of thing to keep me occupied in it . It not as great as WoW was in it Vanilla period though .I don't want to play for 5 hours a day an hour or two is plenty .Its just pure fun . Not quite the immersion I would want in an mmo but who cares that immersion exists in so few mmos these days . Its not retardedly easy like WoW so thats fine by me . Of course theres things I would see done differently as with every mmo . Its doing amazingly well the servers are all busy and unlike games like Rift and WoW its not city centric and feels dynamic . I honestly think some people want too much .

The carrot grind is still there, it is now merely cosmetic. The endgame is still exactly the same carrot chase and nothing more.

Personal taste and opinions are not related to a universal truth.
You say Guild Wars 2 is a "soulless" game, in my experience Everquest 2 (even more than original EQ) and Guild Wars (1&2) are games full of personality and "soul".
I had fun in original EQ and Vanguard for months, but EQ2 and GW2 are my favorite "online RPGs". The real conclusion is that we disagree and we probably enjoy different types of games, but based on what you said I have the impression you believe that "you see the truth" and I just didn't realize it yet (which is false).
See, while I was playing EQ2 some friends were playing Lineage 2 and some others WoW, in their eyes EQ2 had no "souls" and I never really saw any soul on L2 and WoW, this personal opinion never changed and no one acted as an arrogant lord of the truth toward each other.
The main reason why EQ2 and GW2 are games with souls to is the immersion I feel playing them and after games like War, AOC, SWTOR and many others, I disagree when someone try to "expose" GW2 as a "shallower" game, especially when some of the "deeper" games are just a collection of older patterns and time consuming mechanics.
I have nothing against your opinion about GW2 or any game, I just don't understand the attitude.
I will give you an example related to movies:
In my opinion expressive movies like "Holy Mountain (1973)" and "Vozvrashchenie (2003)" are movies with a lot of "soul" (and for some reasons really pieces of art on cinema, but here is not the place for this deep and detailed conversation) while "Star Wars" is nothing but fun entertainment, has no soul, no expressiveness aside huge entertainment value to me.
Again about games, "Dark Souls", " Demon's Souls" and "The Witcher 2" to me are games with soul while "Skyrim" is fun, but a soulless version of "Morrowind".
The discussion about "soul" in an entertainment production (we are not talking about pure art creations, but entertainment related productions) is relative, very personal and don't hold any real aspect of an universal truth.
But as I said, I really respect your opinion and you are entitled to like or dislike any entertainment production.
Oy, maybe I should have just never posted this.
But I had a feeling that if I didn't, and I decided to write an honest opinion on GW2 in the future, someone's gonna call me a hypocrite.

Completely agree. Imo the biggest core problem in GW2's design is player motivation. When they ditched GW1's skill acquisition model they made a huge mistake. They were definitely onto something there. (a disclaimer: I tried out GW1, didn't like it and still don't like it, but since i'm into game design i did study it very closely.)
Imo, an ideal game first gives you a choice of definite goals... and then leaves it to your imagination on how to accomplish them. GW2 manages to do exactly the opposite - it gives you no choice of definite goals (the adjective "definite" is very important here) but gives you very clear guidance on how to accomplish... something that doesn't really exist. Whatever you do is rewarded the same - by some currency you later "cash in" for rewards "of your choice." You can see why this is dull - it is exactly like an office job in real life. You do something and then you get money which you can spend on stuff which has no relation whatsoever with the manner you earned the money. This is the root of alienation inherent in today's money-based world. You work as an accountant to spend money on climbing the Himalayas. Or you climb Himalayas to earn money so you can finally have some comfort and peace, whatever. I don't remember Frodo picking flowers or even going off on a grand adventure to the west so he can eventually drop the Ring into Mt Doom in the east... everything he DID was inherently specific to the GOAL. His goal was in that direction and that's where he went and what he did. In today's alienated office world there is a disconnect between what you do and what you're rewarded with. The basic tenent of drama is that what you DO determines what YOU COME UP WITH. This is especially true with anything that has the word "epic" anywhere nearby. "Epic" is not about mountain-sized dragons or huge shoulder armor or glowy swords, it is about the unity of the purpose and the means that take you to it, it is about the Way. You can have "epicness" in a drab suburban kitchen and yawning boredom in the middle of an intergalactic battle with planets exploding left and right. GW2 suffers from this modern alienated (read "boring") disconnect just like the 1st world daily existence does.
As I mentioned again, they need to urgently introduce PARTICULAR REWARDS for PARTICULAR ACTIONS. My Ranger gave me a lot of joy to play because I had goals I could set for myself - find that particular pet whichcan be found only in a particular region. GW2 desperately needs such definite goals which, despite being definite, are set by players themselves. For example, new versions of weapons skills that cannot be purchased by bland and boring "skill points" you get by crafting and picking onions ffs, but by doing something lengthy and heroic and very specific.

To put it in another way: ANet devs said that "Magic the Gathering" CCG was the inspiration behind their skill system in GW1... Wtf happened? They've completely missed the ball this time with the way you obtain skills and advance your character. What they have now is a good base, everyhing at your fingertips etc, but it really feels like "spreadsheet design" to me. What the game needs is more "oomph," especially at 80+. Crazy ass fotms were exactly what made GW1 so intriguing and long-lived. By spreadsheeting and balancing everything and putting it all on the same currency line, ANet made this otherwise staggeringly rich game feel bland in terms of player goals and motivation.

"One day your life will flash before your eyes, make sure it''s worth watching."
For me when it comes to GW2, most of my fun has been with the pvp side of things. WvW mostly. So much I can say about how I can lose time doing that. It has many problems in the early going but I can see the potential in that game mode.
Wolfpacks attacking Veteran Oakhearts, pirates raiding shoreline villages, so on and so on. It doesn't feel as static as other games.
As far as goals, well, I set those myself...for myself, in any game. One day I feel like mindlessly farming, another I may feel like pvping, another I may feel like doing a dungeon.
As far as boredom goes, I get that from time to time no matter what game I'm playing.
Sorry you got bored. It happens.

Well said. I find myself thinking back to FFXI and how that game always gave so many, almost too many, definitive goals to persue and why I tend to compare every MMO I play to it if even in an offhand way. GW2 is like the other end of that spectrum with just about NO definitive goals beyond the level cap/story epilogue/map completion/exotics which are alll basically done in the majority of the 1-80 leveling game anyway.

"Free crack and everybody gets laid."
I'm not logging in until they fix rangers in SPvP which I heard they might do soon. Being subpar in every role is discouraging to say the least, especially when I hop on my Mesmer and wreck fools even 2v1s.
Also, you should be suspicious of people that spend more time on the forums cheerleading a game then actually playing it.
Finally, I'm noticing a trend of people bashing themepark games because they played one way too much, got burnt out, and suddenly blame all themepark games as the bane to the mmorpg existence. I've played fun themeparks and I've played fun sandboxes. Both had their pros and cons but its the games that were the best made, with the best mechanics that I stuck with the longest and had the most fun.

Only available to students enrolled in Bachelor of Engineering and associated combined degrees.
|Incompatible with:
|Contact hours:
Campus: 2 x 1 hour classes per week, 1 x 1 hour seminar per week. Students must attend and participate in compulsory activities for this unit at scheduled sessions on multiple days during the trimester.
Cloud (online): Learning experiences are via CloudDeakin. Students must attend and participate in mandatory activities at the Geelong Waurn Ponds Campus on the particular scheduled day during Week 8.
The scope of this unit is engineering project management, i.e., knowledge skills and competencies relevant and commonly required to proficiently manage projects that typically involve or are encountered in professional engineering practice. Accordingly this unit relies extensively on two bodies of professional knowledge; the Project Management Body of Knowledge (PMBOK®) which is internationally accepted and widely used in the profession of engineering (and others) and the general professional engineering body of knowledge. The unit therefore concentrates on three main concepts: preparation and planning required for a project; the activities associated with managing the project including resource management and human management; and the evaluation of project status and completion.
There is a specific emphasis in this unit on developing knowledge, skills, and competencies required of a graduate (and professionally inexperienced) engineer as required by the profession in Australia and as typically expected by industry-based employers in Australia. Accordingly the unit not only covers the general theories and principles involved in engineering project management but also specific commonly used methods and tools used by professional engineers in engineering project management work such as Gantt Charts, Net Present Value (NPV) analysis of project options, and Microsoft® Project software.
Four assignments (10%, 20%, 30%, 40%) 100%.
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit students must achieve a mark of at least 40% for assignment 3 (campus attendance and participation in live student presentations given at Waurn Ponds (Geelong) during week 8) and must achieve a mark of at least 40% for assignment 4.
To be eligible to obtain a pass in this unit compulsory attendance is required by all students to unit-specific activities at Waurn Ponds (Geelong). These unit-specific activities may be undertaken either at scheduled sessions on multiple days during the trimester or during a single day of unit-specific activities scheduled during Week 8.

Ms. Renee Harris
Associate Director
Office of International Programs, HU 136
Phone: 410-617-2910
Thank you for your interest in our study abroad programs! The goal of this page is to help you better understand the Leuven study abroad program and highlight distinguishing features and components that will interest you as a parent. More detailed and updated information are given to your son or daughter in information sessions, academic reviews, workshops, and predeparture orientations. Once you read this information, we strongly encourage you to discuss this with your son/daughter who might be able to fill in some of the gaps. Please know all information is given to the students and we ask students to share all of this with you.
Sending students abroad is a partnership with students, parents and the university. We realize that you will have questions and if our website or your son/daughter cannot answer those questions, we will be happy to discuss the study abroad process and program information with you. Please keep in mind that due to the FERPA federal regulation, we will not be able to discuss specific information regarding your son/daughter; however, if your son/daughter is willing to sign a waiver form indicating the specific information to be shared with you, we will be more than happy to discuss specific matters regarding your son/daughter.
We hope you find this information helpful in assisting your son/daughter to accomplish his or her goal of learning, living, and serving abroad.
Founded in 1425, K.U.Leuven is the oldest Catholic university in the world and one of the premier academic institutions in the Lowlands. This picturesque, historically rich university has a vibrant intellectual and social life. The K.U.Leuven has about 40,000 students; almost 6,000 of whom are internationals. It is world-renowned for philosophy and theology, but our students take courses in many other departments as well.
Belgium is a very small country located in the heart of Europe. It is bordered by four countries: France, the Netherlands, Germany, and Luxembourg. It is less than three hours by train to Amsterdam, Cologne, and London, and just one and a half hours from Paris. In Leuven, the campus is the city and vice versa. With its cobblestone streets and impressive gothic architecture, it is a quaint and charming city that pulses with the life of the university.
Travel to Leuven
It is very important that your student be checking the airline website to make sure that their luggage complies with weight restrictions and number of bag restrictions. International flights are very strict about luggage size and weight and it is something that can change, so checking the website periodically as your student prepares to go is highly suggested.
Loyola has an associate director who is a Belgian native and who is responsible for the resident community and assisting students in their acclimation to Leuven. The associate director is in constant contact with KULeuven's Student Affairs Office to coordinate any other student affair and needs. The on-site director works with the students to ensure academic success and leads trips to various historic and relevant sites.
Loyola International Nachbahr Huis is a student residence where students of different nationalities live together. The residence is located in the center of Leuven, in a 17th century convent. One wing of the Black Nun's Convent was restored in 1991-1992 by Loyola University Maryland, a Jesuit university from which every academic year a group of around 20 students come to study a year abroad at the KU Leuven. These students live together with approximately 45 mostly European students (Belgians, Italians, Spanish, Polish, Irish, etc.). Usually there are 12-14 different nationalities represented.
For the Loyola study abroad program in Leuven, students must have a minimum of 3.00 CQPA. They should apply to Loyola's Office of International Programs office by December 3 (Wednesday after Thankgiving break) of their sophomore year, in order to be considered for spots in their junior year. Disciplinary records from the school's Office of Student Life are taken into consideration when reviewing applications. Students should mark down second and third choices in the event that we cannot offer them a spot in the Leuven program. There are usually 30 available spots for the each semester. Lastly, it is required that students can find enough classes to be full time during the academic year.
Students are encouraged to open up a Belgian bank account. The associate director assists students with this task over the summer. By opening an account students become eligible for medical insurance while abroad. Students should still keep their U.S. bank account. They will still have access to their U.S. bank accounts through the ATMs throughout Europe. You should check with your bank to make sure that the student's debit/credit card will work overseas, and find out what fees are associated with using the account internationally (do the same with any credit cards). Students in the past have recommended withdrawing the maximum allowed from ATMs while in Leuven, and then keeping their cash in their bedrooms while bringing out only the amount that they need each time they leave home. This will save on ATM fees. Students will be able to withdraw money from any ATM in Europe (as long as the account has a debit card instead of an ATM card). You should also check to see if your bank is partnered with any European banks. Usually in that case, students can use the partner's ATMs for free or for a very low fee. Credit/Debit cards are not as widely accepted in certain European countries as they are in the U.S. People tend to use cash more frequently. Students should make sure that they are signed up for web banking for all accounts that they will be using overseas. That way they can monitor any fees that are being charged, as well as know their balance in American dollars. When using ATMs in Europe, all information and dispensed currency will be in Euros. Check www.xe.com for the current currency conversion.
Expenses While Abroad
Living in Europe for ten months can very expensive. It seems that most students who studied in the Spring 2014 semester spent from $4000-$9000. It is very important that students are conscious of their money from the very first week. It is easy to not think about it until they realize that they have gone through half of their budget in the first month. The Leuven program includes some meals while on trips and dinners, so that does help controlling costs.
**Please keep in mind that study abroad information, dates, benefits, and fees are subject to change without notification. You are encouraged to contact the Office of International Programs directly for the most up-to-date information regarding any study abroad programs offered at Loyola.
