yeah tab targeting combat must go away forever it sucks in essence, i can tell dragon nest best feature its to have no tab targeting carebear system, i hope both SW-KOTOR and GW2 dont have it , well at least all gameplay available from GW2 and its developers tells theres no tab targeting crap aged system, i hope it will like that.
Anyway with those AAA's mmos coming i think both WoW , Aion, AoC, Lotro and more crappy old xit mmos will go deep down

Only TERA is pure action combat with manual aiming.

I actually enjoyed the game when it first released, I enjoyed the zones and quest. Graphics were nice, loved the idea behind Rifting but, once I hit 30s, I went to this one zone whcih was the only place I had quest and just died over and over.
I understood it was a pvp game, just wasnt fun to be easy points for high level players/groups. I would of liked to go to another zone but wasnt able to find one. Ran around for a bit, tried new classes but kept getting to that one point in the game where I couldnt go around the zone and was forced into PvP.
So I quit, I am always tempted to come back and try it. In fact, I just tried to see my account information. Went to the website, put in my info and all I get is contact customer service. I cant answer questions or even put in my email for a request of account info.
Shame, I am looking for something to hold me over til Skyrim/Diablo3. Guess it will not be Rift as I cant even obtain my account information to give them a try without having to call somebody. I have better things to do.

From what I can tell the devs pull a bait and switch on you, making the game purely PvE then around 30 introducing you to PvP. I hate bait and switch games and ultimately did not buy it because of that. I also disliked the sounds my characters made everytime they cast a spell or ability, but I was ok turning the volume down to avoid the HAI-YAH!

The whole thing made it where I will never trust a single word Brian Knox says again. He painted this picture of full PvE throughout and PvP being completely optional when this clearly wasn't the case to anyone who even heard about the Korean version of the game.

I can't speak for everyone but can say mostof the people you here constantly complaining about not having a game to play wouldn't even want to play Aion as for alot of them it would be a bit too close to the traditional themeparks they already don't want to play.
For me one of the only things I constantly heard about what made the game so great is something that doesn't appeal to me in any way and that is the flight. For me I'm done trying new non sci fi mmorpg's for a while just sick of the same ole same here nothing about the game turns me off but equally nothing about it turning me on.

Vindictus or dragon nest are free to play and they have the best combat system made till now on mmo's , and thats odd

1. Just because you can attempt to avoid all attacks with player skills, doesn't mean there aren't tab targetting?

Whether it is using tab to change target is the question.
2. Vindictus' combat was fun, but it was far from being 'best' in MMO, how far in did you play the game until? The gameplay is practically the same from start to finish. But then again, so is every single MMO out there. LEarning the combat system in a MMO takes you the first 5 min upon playing the game, the rest is the same, with a new extra hotkey to click, or button to use. The underlying mechanics are all the same.
If I had to choose the best, GW is the probably one of the better designed. Each skill requires a different situation to use effectively, the limited hotkey bar makes targetting to be feasible with clicking instead of tabbing for 1 min trying to get it right. Putting a limitation of your choices makes the variety of builds and balances much better.

Homer: You maybe a smart girl Lisa, but you don't know much about hurt people's feelings
I've been playing aion since launch, and before (on far far away land ^-^), and i have to say that has:
- great graphic - imo those are marvelous comparing with newer games
- great action skils pve and pvp - just great atacking, defense, heal... lol
- not so great faction features - never got why we can only atack fortress' on a determine hour, that sucks.
- not so great manastone/enchatstone socketing - it's desperate, once i used more than a 100 phys crit normal manastone to enchant yellow 4 sockets lvl 55 boots (crucible ones).
But still, i enjoy it a lot. Instances, campaign quests, the mentor system... And about the one sided faction pvp, hmmm, thats not true on my server. Sometimes, using the rules, it's cool to be the low faction, because of the buff.
Patch 3.0 will turn it into a totally diferent game, maybe more western, i dont know, but we still have to wait about 4/6 months. I would say it will be the 2012 mmorpg revelation, instead of the blockbusters GW2, Tera and old republica. Wait and see.
i personally dont play it because when i played it before it left a bad taste in my mouth, and even though they seem to have recently fixed almost everything i had a problem with when i tried it, they still charge a monthly fee. EVERY monthly fee game i've ever played has always failed at putting out content fast, RIFT has been the only one so far thats been close and even they are having longer and longer times between patches as a sub only game. I'd much rather pay money on a game for cosmetics, pets then give it to a game that's fail using the money irresponsibly by not cranking out quality stable fun content.
and when i say content i don't mean raids, dailies, new factions to grind rep for, or impossible to achieve gear grinds with forced grouping or forced pvp.
I mean epic solo/duo/small group content thats a main storyline that changes the world around you according to your choices.
not many mmos will be doing that, SWTOR has a good idea about changing how npcs react to you but they have yet to do what GW2 is planning where the entire world changes depending on your choices, not just some npc's reaction to you.

Played GW2 today, and if I understand correctly you have an "invisible crosshair" which targets the ennemy in front of you as soon as you start an attack move (a bit like tab targetting), and if you press tab, you can select an ennemy without even pressing an attack skill (from further distance too).
However, a lot of the skills are "directional" (not the basic sword/mace/etc. attacks though) which means that you can strike the air in front of you if the ennemy you selected is behind you (although it will be "tab targetted").
Can't say for sure though, was fairly short and confusing.
If there are several ennemies in front of you, the basic strikes will go to the tab targetted ennemy, and the directional strikes/aoe strikes will hit ennemies according to the direction/area.
As for Aion, it was advertised as a PvPvE game, but NCSoft (at least in the US/EU version) started breaking PvP (impossible to rift to the ennemy land, new PvP zone full of elite mobs making it difficult to fight players and move around at the same time without dying from PvE attacks, new PvP zone is conditionned by the possession of forts in your PvE zone so to PvP you need to PvE first). Really I think it was a fun PvP game in the beginning, but they made a few bad decisions along the way.
Also, PvP is really grindy: you have to do instanciated PvP for months before you can do open world PvP, but I think their instanciated PvP is crap (I bought Aion for open world PvP, fortresses, not instance PvP, other games are better at this).
What's left now? PvE and I think a lot of PvE games are - once again - far superior to Aion in PvE terms.
So, IMHO they have neither good PvP neither good PvE. Niche fail.

While I'm not an actual fan of the game, that's just not true. The PvE is pretty much par with any other next-door MMORPG.
What sets Aion apart from other titles is the ethereal style and setting and the flying mechanics. The idea of a fragmented void with floating islands on it for PvE and PvP is pretty innovative and hasn't been done before.
Some people like this anime-pop angels vs. demons in space style, some don't. Fair enough. But it DOES set Aion apart enought to make it worth mentioning as a solid and polished title.
What keeps your regular westerner away from the game is the heavy workload you gotta put into the game to achieve relevant stuff. And this comes from 2 massively different attitudes.
Westerners want to see progress, and quick, and when they reach cap pick up another char and max this one out too. Most westerners are, at least to a certain extent, altlovers. The more (hard)core gamers use to have 6 or 7 maxed out characters and swap them for ingame tasks accordingly. They see the game as the thing they want to see and play (and achieve, oh how the westerner loves "achieving"), the character is merely a vehicle for that.
Whereas your next best asian player usually picks up one character and devotes his playtime to this character. If it takes 3 years to level it up, so be it. They see the character as the actual investment mainly, they want to equip it, share it, care for it. That's why cosmetic options where omnipresent in asian games (dyes, makeup, hairstyle, clothing) ages before some bloke grumpily introduced "this gay cosmetic stuff" into western games.
And THIS is why Aion is not receiving the praise it could in the western world.
PS: Oh and on a sidenote, tab combat in Aion requires lots and lots of timing, there are a lots of skills on medium cooldowns and specialized functions. Saying tab-targeting doesn't require skill maybe a valid argument, but the Aion might not be your best example...

pvp and crafting were big letdowns for me, rest of the game was good for the most part. i loved my spiritmaster.

I found some aspects of the game to be great, but then too much problems were game breaking, and too much is just too much.
Its a pity though because the game was good overall, but they had to fix it a lot quicker.
The main game breaking stuff were: the launch was a mess with the overloaded server and the merge (i personally reroll 3 time because of the queue), the leveling holes (at 30+) that made it look like a grindy game which it wasn't, the class unbalance especially in aerial combat, and the worst was definitely the twink and pvp gear unbalance that totally mess the best aspect of the game with the rifts.
And i don't talk about RMT, not game breaking but enough to kill any desire to play the game further. And some of those are still in game now, like aerial combat and class balance, so even if i wanted to come back, there is no use. I probably would have played the game a lot more if my preferred class, assassin wasn't a mess, a pity because the gameplay of this class was awesome.

I still think Aion endgame PVE is not on par in terms of quantity with AAA titles, could be on par with non-AAA titles though. At least this used to be true when I played the game where they did not have that many dungeons end game, not sure about now... I played mostly for PvP though, so it was not a big deal for me. However, as time passed they were introducing more PvE content and little PvP content (gimping/preventing PvP as well), I started raising eyebrows and feeling disappointed (so yes, this was a good game).
I really loved the abyss, however they are pretty much empty since they added the new PvP zone on the ground (another reason why I left).
Aion was definitely polished, I really enjoyed my experience and would recommend the title to anyone. It had its niche of players (agree a lot of them were anime fans, I was not). Still, I maintain my criticism that the title was advertised as a big PvP title but the change of focus towards more and more PvE made them fall in between and never achieve greatness in any of these two areas. Could be just me though, I know lots of people are still content with the game.
I personally did not mind the so called grind, I had tons of fun leveling in this game (enough quests and dungeons for me), I think it was fairly quick to level. I played templar from release for about 1.5yrs or so (and then stopped playing), did not bother with an alt (did not make sense in this game indeed).
I have NEVER said Aion combat did not require skills, actually I am pretty much with you here: playing templar involved sword waving in between skills (for auto attack), weapon switching, and about 30+ skills with different timers and combos, and as you said good timing, it was a really fast paced MMO. Probably one of the most enjoyable so far if you make the most of your character (not bash the 3-4 same skills). I was just replying to that other guy who randomly asked about GW2, so sorry about the off-topic confusion.
The opinion I was trying to express is: I think playing Aion now is a bit late (you are missing on the good old days of the abyss PvP which was one of the big things of the game), but it is still a good fun game. And you will probably have more PvE content nowadays, so yeah, if you like it the game will keep you busy.

I have to agree with all of this, despite wanting to like Aion.
I have just uninstalled again, and tbh it really is the last time. When I have left before it's always been with the 'let it mature' mentality, but this time no.
TBH, with CoH being so much fun right now GW2 coming in the future I don't see a time when I will want to play it again with all it's still current issues. Pus now, environment GFX wise, it is starting to ropey so it hasnt even got that going for it.
It really is a schizophrenic poorly thought out and poorly implemented experience. Maybe if they had cared about their Western market things could have been different, but hey ho.
I think people need to accept that games have flaws. All games will have flaws, GW2 will have flaws, SWTOR will have flaws, TSW will have flaws, WoW has flaws.
Aion will not be an exception to this rule. It is a matter of whether the player will enjoy the game enough to look over the flaws and simply enjoy the game, that is what makes a good game.

Aion's glaring and self destructive flaws far out weigh it's enjoyment or 'potentiol' for me, even with all the good will I have been pepared to extend to the game in the past.
And this is even without them selling non fail manastones in their cash shop now (even if for a 'limited time', which we all know means 'feel the market reaction out and test the price point for a permanent launch')

Turtle Power!: New documentary chronicles three decades of the Teenage Mutant Ninja TurtlesWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | email@example.com
Thirty years ago. Before there was a big budget reboot at the top of the box office. Before the franchise was owned by Nickelodeon. Before the many animated and live-action TV series. Before the first movie in 1990, and its sequels. Even before the original animated show's theme song informed us that "Michelangelo is a party dude."
Before it all, there was a simple, self-published, black-and-white comic book entitled "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." Co-created by artists Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird, the first book was dark, violent, gritty and not-at-all kid friendly. All the elements were there — the four leads, their rat-human sensei Splinter, their evil rival Shredder and his minions the Foot clan. But they would all undergo an evolution to become the phenomenon that the Turtles remain for generations of fans both young and young-at-heart.
Those early days and the growth of the franchise into its iconic status are the focus of "Turtle Power: The Definitive History of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," a new documentary released August 12 on DVD. Produced by FauxPop Media, a relatively new production company out of Canada, the film gives fans unprecedented access to the history of the franchise, with interviews from all involved trying to answer the most intriguing-yet-complicated question: Why?
"You have a few things working in concert," said Randall Lobb, director of the documentary. "One of them is archetypes. And I don't know if Kevin and Peter in any way would have even read Joseph Campbell, but they've certainly got archetypes in it. You've got family in the mythology. You've got the sensei, the wise master. You've got the trickster character. You've got the wisecracker. You've got the leader. … All these things are very archetypal.
"So if I'm a child, I can see many things in here that will attach, things that are important, that will attach to me."
Lobb understands all about how such things can grab a young imagination and never let go. It was his own childhood obsessions that led to his desire to be a filmmaker. "When I was a kid, I was one of these guys that had a very rich and fertile fantasy life and imagination. And people who are like that tend to want to bring their imagination into the real world. So, probably one of the best ways to do that when you were a little kid was with the Super 8 cameras, and so I was always doing it."
After founding FauxPop Media with his partner Mark Hussey, the pair began work on a wide variety of media concepts, from commercials to music videos and documentaries. But they were still looking for a new project that might draw attention to their young company. Enter another filmmaker named Isaac Elliott-Fisher — about half the FauxPop partners' age, and a die-hard Turtles fan.
"So this kid approached my partner Mark Hussey and I, and he said, 'You know what I'd like you to do, I'd like you to help me make a documentary about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.' And I said, 'No way.' And at the exact time I said that, my partner said, 'Yeah.' And Mark and I had been talking about finding a feature project, that we could generate a small audience … this grassroots thing, get a thousand people to like it, and then sell it, and hopefully break even.
"And of course, as soon as I said no, I realized, 'Oh! This is pretty good.'"
The original idea was not an overarching, comprehensive history of the Turtles. Just a small look at the origins, interviews with the original creators, maybe the beginnings of the expansion into toys and TV that made them a phenomenon. But what Lobb and his collaborators discovered was that in this world, knowledge is like dominos. You knock over one, and before you know it, thousands more follow.
"We don't have to do all of it. In our minds, we would do a small corner of it. We were going to look at one aspect. And Isaac was a very hardcore fan. Mark and I, we knew about it, but it wasn't something big on our wish list or anything. But as we got into it, we sort of opened a box, that opened a box, that opened a box, that opened a box," Lobb said.
"Eventually, we had all this stuff that we had collected. And we had what turned out to be, not just 'Turtle Power,' but we could probably make three more 'Turtle Power's."
Lobb said he hopes fans come away from the film with a better understanding of the people behind the characters. "I want people to look at it and say, that there are human beings who are doing things. These are stories about turtles, but they're written by people, who faced incredible odds and pursued their dreams, and did what they love. And they still love it."

I really hope that members located on the East side of the state can get together this fall. Two ideas I have:
Sesame Place: Halloween Festivities for the 1st or 2nd week in October. Bring the kids dressed up; there will be Halloween activities, rides. Look at www.sesameplace.com for more information.
Lancaster Farm: Visit a local working farm for a hay ride, pick out pumpkins, cider--fall fun! Not sure what farm, but I have two in mind.
Please post if you are interested in either, and what dates work best in October.

Dear Editor,
On behalf of Meals on Wheels of Summerville I would like to extend our gratitude to Legend Oaks. Last weekend the Legend Oaks Golf and Tennis Club sponsored their fifth annual Legend Oaks Gives Back weekend. This includes a tennis tournament, dinner and silent auction and a golf tournament. The managing partner Jim Chickarello and his wife Kathy wanted to give back to the community and put together a committee to pursue this challenge. They work tirelessly year round to make the weekend a success and their efforts have been rewarded each year. We were blessed this year with a perfect weekend weather wise and very generous participants.
I would like to express my gratitude to the Chickarellos, the Legend Oaks Committee and staff for putting on such a spectacular event. I also need to thank the very bighearted corporate sponsors, hole sponsors and all the local businesses and people that support LOGB. There are too many people and businesses involved to list them all but you know who you are and thank you very much for your contributions.
Meals on Wheels of Summerville feeds about 150 people a day, five days a week, approximately 40,000 meals per year. We operate with no tax dollars but only with what we can raise. Organizations like Legend Oaks go a long way to help people. Many of the people we serve are able to stay in their homes longer and out of facilities with our nutritious meals. The funds that were raised this past weekend will feed about 20 people for one year.
I thank you so very much for your caring and generosity. It is greatly appreciated.
Wayne R. Lodge

- The impact of European integration on the German system of pharmaceutical product authorization (2008)
- The European Union has evolved since 1965 into an influential political player in the regulation of pharmaceutical safety standards. The objective of establishing a single European market for pharmaceuticals makes it necessary for member-states to adopt uniform safety standards and marketing authorization procedures. This article investigates the impact of the European integration process on the German marketing authorization system for pharmaceuticals. The analysis shows that the main focal points and objectives of European regulation of pharmaceutical safety have shifted since 1965. The initial phase saw the introduction of uniform European safety standards as a result of which Germany was obliged to undertake "catch-up" modernization. From the mid-1970s, these standards were extended and specified in greater detail. Since the mid-1990s, a process of reorientation has been under way. The formation of the European Agency for the Evaluation of Medicinal Products (EMEA) and the growing importance of the European authorization procedure, combined with intensified global competition on pharmaceutical markets, are exerting indirect pressure for EU member-states to adjust their medicines policies. Consequently, over the past few years Germany has been engaged in a competition-oriented reorganization of its pharmaceutical product authorization system the outcome of which will be to give higher priority to economic interests.

If you visit the GoGrid homepage, you'll be greeted with the following headline:
We make cloud infrastructure easy. Really easy.
But without trying our cloud infrastructure service, how can you really know what "easy" means? It can be completely subjective and open to interpretation. Even so, we stand firmly by our statement. It IS easy because it simply boils down to 3 action words:
1. select
2. configure
3. deploy.
Don't just take my word for it though. Your best bet is to test it out yourself. (Here's a hint: If you're new to GoGrid, contact one of our Cloud Experts, mention this blog post, and get a $100 service credit to see if we're right.)

|Head Coach
|31st Season
|Previous College:
|New Hampshire '75
Jim Boulanger enters his 31st season as coordinator of the men and women's cross country and track and field program. In his tenure at UNH the program has produced multiple New England champions, IC4A honorees and NCAA regional qualifiers as well as three All-Americans. On the men's side, Boulanger has coached six America East Performer of the Meet award winners, four Scholar-Athletes and three individual cross country league champions since the 1997-98 season.
Boulanger is currently in the midst of one of the most prolific runs of success in UNH Athletics history. Over the last 51 America East Championships in cross country, indoor and outdoor track, the Wildcat mentor has guided his men's teams to 15 first-place finishes, 15 second places and eight thirds. He won America East "Coach of the Year" for outdoor track during the 1990,1996-1999 seasons along with winning the award for indoor track in 1995, 1997, 1998, 2000 and 2005. He guided the cross country squad to eight league championships from 1998-08, earning "Coach of the Year" honors a total of seven times during the 10-year span. Boulanger went on to capture outdoor "Coach of the Year" honors in 2006 and in back-to-back seasons during the 2008 and 2009 campaigns.
A 1975 graduate of UNH, Boulanger took over the program in 1982 after serving three years as an assistant.

Partly Cloudy
Wind: 0 mph
As erroneously reported, the paving of the bottom 900 feet of Cider Hill Road did not pass the Warren Select Board. As Andrew Cunningham, chair of the select board, is a resident of Cider Hill and felt there was a conflict of interest, he abstained from voting on the matter. If he had voted, the motion would have passed, but it was a deadlock. In a deadlock situation the motion was voted down.
This was my first encounter with the Warren Select Board and I was alarmed to find that a motion can be passed or denied without adequate research by its members. It brought these questions to mind:
How on earth can a decision be made on an area, especially involving taxpayers' money, with significant savings involved, without admittedly setting foot on the area to be decided upon? Making a decision for the taxpayer without proper research is not working for the people and their wishes, it is an opinion and a private agenda and should not, under any circumstances, be considered and tolerated!
With this lack of research how can the professional recommendation of the road foreman be discounted; he who has many years of experience in the field, experiences this type of work on a daily basis, sees the pros and cons of the specific situation from years of experience, especially on the specific site?
Of the residents of Cider Hill polled, the majority of respondents were highly in favor of the road improvement, and they did not get any consideration. How can private agenda override the wishes of the people who live on Cider Hill, travel it on a daily basis and pay their taxes to have the road fixed?
Was the big picture considered? What is it going to cost down the road? Paving this now will save the taxpayers' money by doing this now when the East Warren Road paving is being done due to sheer volume of material needed. In the future, with rising costs and being a smaller project, the taxpayer will pay more. It will continue to be a problem.
It seems to me that in all areas this is a good thing for the community, the majority of the respondents want this project, the road foreman and road crew are in favor of this project, and completing this project now will save the taxpayers' money and protect the environment and the road itself from further damage.
I feel that the select board needs to revisit this matter, re-examine or examine for the first time the damage created over the years that needs to be addressed.

She presents something of a challenge for me. Our relationship was complicated. But as I've looked through the pictures today it's clear how much she and her children cherished, loved and flat out enjoyed one another. That her grandchildren and great-grandchildren continue to gather, love and enjoy one another is surely a testament to her and her girls.
Happy birthday, Grandmother. I'm grateful for all the years we had together.

"This was my first experience with Wedding Paper Divas. They exceeded my expectations! The paper quality was gorgeous - and the photo was perfect. I am very happy with this purchase!"
"The quality is very good. everyone commented on them. They were the perfect size for a reminder of a party. They also have a professional staff ready to help with any questions. I will use them again in the future. The price was reasonable."
"I had no problem personalizing this invite. The directions made It very easy to do. I chose 5 invites that I liked then asked my mother which one she liked best and it was the tasty blooms. The quality of the paper for the invites as well as the envelopes were great! Text was a little trying only because the options given were not all condusive to the size of the invite. Great product!"
"I used these invitations for my husband's 40th birthday party. He's a Maryland guy, so the crab and the nautical feel were perfect for a summery, outdoor party and raw bar. They weren't too feminine, but just exactly right for the event. They'd be adorable for an engagement party or summer couples' shower, or a BBQ/Crab feast or birthday party like ours. I absolutely LOVED these invitations and I have had literally dozens of compliments on these - everyone thinks they are adorable. Wedding Paper Divas - my only critisicm would be that these don't have any writing on the back to say where they are from! Normally, you see "Tiny Prints" or whatever printed on the back, but these are completely blank on the back. You should fix that because you'd sell oodles of these cute invitations here in Maryland! The paper is nice and thick, and the colors are crisp and beautiful. You will be SO happy with these invitations!"
"This card was exactly what I was looking for! The design is both elegant and whimsical, and the print colors are sharp and clear. This company is wonderful to work with - they answer all your questions right away and I received the finished product in record time. You will love this card!"

Metalworking Fluid Microbiology Basics
Instructor: Dr. Fred Passman, BCA, Inc.
Where: STLE University, live webinar event broadcast to your computer
When: Wednesday, July 17, 2013 at 12-1:00 p.m., with optional Q&A from 1-1:30 p.m. Central Time
Cost: $39 for members, $59 for non-members
As scientific disciplines go, metalworking fluid (MWF) microbiology is a relative youngster; having just passed the half-century anniversary of the publication of the first scientific paper on the topic. During that half-century, we seem to have come full cycle to where we started. The early papers investigated the presence of microbes that could infect exposed workers and cause disease. Through the 1970's and 80's, most of the research focused on preventing microbes from degrading fluid performance and shortening fluid functional life. Since the mid-1990's the majority of MWF microbiology research has addressed potential health issues related to worker exposure to bioaerosols. There is still quite a bit of confusion about MWF microbiology, caused – in no small part – by the small number of MWF microbiologists.
This webinar is a primer on MWF microbiology. During the program, Dr. Passman will provide a basic explanation of what microbes are, the types of damage they can cause if left to grow uncontrolled in MWF and the health risks associated with bioaerosol exposure. The first part of the webinar will discuss the types of microbes that are commonly found in MWF, why they thrive in the MWF environment and where they are most likely to be found in MWF systems. The next part of the program will describe fluid, system and finished part damage related microbial life in MWF systems. The final segment will explain how bioaerosols are generated and the common types of diseases caused by exposure to these aerosols.
Although the webinar won't discuss strategies for controlling microbial growth, it will provide the foundation of information needed to help plant operators and fluid managers to design cost-effect condition monitoring and microbial contamination control progams.
Dr. Passman is an STLE Fellow and Certified Metalworking Fluids Specialist with 35 years' experience in environmental-industrial microbiology. Since 1973, Dr. Passman has conducted research and consulted to government and private industry on topics as diverse as composting municipal sewage sludge, U.S. EPA criteria for various groups of toxic substances in fresh-water systems, microbially enhanced oil recovery, and microbial contamination control in industrial process-fluids. He is a member of numerous professional and trade organizations including ASTM and STLE. Within STLE, he is currently the Chair of the Education and Certification Harmonization Ad Hoc Committee. Dr. Passman is Chair of ASTM Subcommittee E.34.50 Health and Safety of Metalworking Fluids, Vice-chair of ASTM Committee E34 Occupational Health and Safety and is an active member of E.35.15 Antimicrobial Pesticides. He has drafted ASTM Standards for each of these committees. Dr. Passman has twice received STLE's Wilber Deutsch Memorial Award for writing excellence, and is a recipient of STLE's P.M. Ku Award. He has more than 40 publications to his name.

OK I know the 10 part thingy. And I can (and have) read the ATF info. Thanks for the advice.Originally Posted by donvito
My (limited) reading of the semi-auto sten websites indicate the following for legal builds of "tube SMGs". Please correct me if I'm wrong:
1. Don't use the normal tube - use a smaller tube that will physically limit the use of original parts -OR- shim the tube somehow to prevent installation of FA parts
2. Build replacement US parts for parts count compliance
3. Alter desing to be closed-bolt operation. This reverse-engineering is probably the biggest challenge IMO.
That's it! Parts count OK, closed bolt, incapable of accepting FA parts, legally acceptable. Don't think anyone is suggesting using "all" of the original imported parts that aren't US-made. Unless there's some flavor of gun out there that isn't on the AWB list, but that's doubtful.
So... what is your point that I'm missing? I guess the point of my long post is that this discussion is about doing in a garage what the semi-auto sten websites do in their commercial shop. We're just imitating that.

New York Times has a long article about the differences between Google and Microsoft in terms of vision. "The growing confrontation between Google and Microsoft promises to be an epic business battle. It is likely to shape the prosperity and progress of both companies, and also inform how consumers and corporations work, shop, communicate and go about their digital lives. Google sees all of this happening on remote servers in faraway data centers, accessible over the Web by an array of wired and wireless devices — a setup known as cloud computing. Microsoft sees a Web future as well, but one whose center of gravity remains firmly tethered to its desktop PC software."
Eric Schmidt, Google's CEO, envisions that 90% of today's computing tasks can be moved online. "To explain, Mr. Schmidt steps up to a white board. He draws a rectangle and rattles off a list of things that can be done in the Web-based cloud, and he notes that this list is expanding as Internet connection speeds become faster and Internet software improves. In a sliver of the rectangle, about 10 percent, he marks off what can't be done in the cloud, like high-end graphics processing." (my emphasis)
Google also thinks that people don't use all the features that are available in many desktop applications. "If you're creating a complex document like an annual report, you want Word, and if you're making a sophisticated financial model, you want Excel. That's what the Microsoft products are great at. But less and less work is like that," said Google's Dave Girouard.
And for Google, things are going in the right direction: more people have access to fast Internet connection, users don't want to keep their data on a single computer as they found the advantages of sharing and collaborating online. There's also the advantage of a much lower price for storage and computing. Google's "vast data centers are designed by Google engineers for efficiency, speed and low cost, giving the company an edge in computing firepower and allowing it to add offerings inexpensively."
For now, 2.000 companies start to use Google Apps every day (most try the free version), Google Docs had 1.6 million US users last month (source:Compete.com), Gmail doubled its US users to 20.1 million in November (source:comScore).

Here is a link to the movie trailer:
Synopsis of the film: Ed (Jay Mohr) and Alice (Julianne Nicholson) are in love. They're getting married, but not before seeing other people. Despite objections from Ed, Alice is convinced that she just isn't ready to settle down with one man for the rest of her life. Upon Alice's insistence, Ed reluctantly agrees to a pre-wedding free-for-all, but is shocked when Alice comes home with tales of a rendezvous with a muscle-bound contractor. Ed's jealousy takes a positive turn as these new extracurricular activities begin spicing up their lives. Their fun is short-lived and before long, Ed and Alice are spending more time seeing other people than each other. The unhappy couple comes dangerously close to calling it quits. But before it's too late, the appealing facades of attractive strangers fall away, and they realize that they've been searching for the honest comfortable love they've had all along. The film opens in theaters on May 7, 2004.

little gem
Just came back home from BSU!!! yummm i am munching on one of their incredibly good cupcakes while i write this review....Been here there twice now and love their cold coffee, spinach corn sandwich and the vanilla balls.(yet to try the rest) met sarada last time and met her partner today. They usually strike up a easy conversation and the feel of the place is overall cozy and fun. Their baked stuff is certainly the best..the cakes..yummmmm you feel the effort and the good ingredients that went in as soon as you take the first bite :). The prices are decent . With all the road and building construction ..its quite an adventure getting there..but its certainly worth it. Suggestion/Question?? Do you bake your own bread too? if not please do so and have options like wheat bread. Overall great idea and great going going girls:) there certainly is sunshine in every mouthful!!!
July 21, 2012response from management at butter side up - Theme Based Cakes & Cupcakes, Bangalore:
Hey Ashwin!
Feedback such as yours just make our day :) So kicked that our food excites you! As of now we do not bake our own bread. We hope to make that a part of our repertoire soon enough - keep watching this space and our FB page for updates! But brown bread / whole wheat bread is an option we do offer. Ask and you shall receive - that's the rule of thumb we follow at butter side up. We aim to please :) Thanks again!
Sending loads of bsu sunshine and love your way...

Good things come in small packages.. Defined!
Came across Butter Side Up through FB and my-oh-my what a discovery! My initial days were spent just drooling over their confectionary pics on FB and then came a chance in the form of my mum's b'day to test waters.
I ordered a regular coconut cake (half kilo for INR 295) and two German chocolate cupcakes and Banana cupcakes each. I didn't want to go for any theme based cakes (which btw they are pro at!) as it was my first time and I wanted to stick to basic stuff. But I not only did not go wrong about my choice of cake but was also pleasantly surprised by the enterprising/entertaining duo. The cake was PerfecT to the T and the cupcakes... well they just melt in your mouth! I had grown quite sick of eating old and crumbly cupcakes across several confectioners in Bangalore. But this was simply heavenly! My order was delivered well within the time I had asked for and duo even sang a b'day song for my mum which was absolutely sweet of them.
Well done girls! Keep the goodies coming in and you girls are certainly a talented duo :)
July 19, 2012response from management at butter side up - Theme Based Cakes & Cupcakes, Bangalore:
Thank you so much Reshma for the love and appreciation you are sending our way :) Really stoked that you loved our food... Looking forward to keeping you well fed and life generally "butter side up" for you for a long long time to come.
A whiff of freshly baked cupcakes and loads of love

July 19, 2012response from management at butter side up - Theme Based Cakes & Cupcakes, Bangalore:
Thanks a ton Nikhil for making us see the stars we do on the review :) Means a lot to us that you loved our food. Looking forward to feeding you loads more of our very best!!!
July 19, 2012response from management at butter side up - Theme Based Cakes & Cupcakes, Bangalore:
Thank you Sarada! :)
Nice to hear from you
butter side up - just what the doctor ordered :)
The first thing that struck me was yellow :) Sunny, happy and sunshine filled yellow!!! And thats not just to do with the walls at this place...
butter side up is a wonderful, warm and honest to earth kind of place. The food is as charming and fun as the name of the cafe. And this place is ALL about the food. True to their name, their food fills you (and mind you, I am not just talking about the tummy!) with a lot of happy, positive vibes. I absolutely adore their cup cakes and their sandwiches are yumm! Their fragrant corn and spinach tart (or tartlet as they refer to it) were just to die for. With some cutting chai to go with my order, the place just did wonders to my mood :) Ask me... Went there the first time one grumpy Wednesday evening post work :) and was back a couple of days later and back again the next week and... ya am sure you get the picture :P
I believe they take up catering orders as well as orders for cakes and the like. Hoping to try it out sometime soon.
Now for the bummers... It is not open on Sundays and they shut by 7 :( And it is located a bit out of the way and I dropped in / discovered butter side up ONLY because a friend asked me to check the place out. BUT all this DOES NOT take away from the attraction the place holds. Its hard not to get hooked to butter side up!!!
Highly recommended for your (daily?!) fix of fresh and honest baked items and quickie meals... so the key words here are - TUCK IN!!!! :) :)
July 19, 2012response from management at butter side up - Theme Based Cakes & Cupcakes, Bangalore:
Hi Keyura!!!
Better late than never eh? We are really grateful for the kind words you send our way - really touched. Don't let the location bother you too much - our food will get to you wherever you are in Bengalooru :) So just call us and let us know what you are in the mood to eat :)
Much love

As people clean out their closets for spring, Palmetto Goodwill asks you to consider donating unwanted items to help the community. Without donations, Palmetto Goodwills ability to provide mission services is negatively impacted. Traditionally February and March are low months for donations, but this year donations are down significantly from last year. Spring donations provide an enormous amount of support to the Goodwill mission of job training and employee development. More than 90 percent of all proceeds from selling donated goods go to helping people achieve their full potential through the dignity and power of work.
We want to send out a special reminder during the spring season. Dont throw away those gently used clothes and household wares, said Goodwill President and CEO, Robert Smith. Donate them and help people in your community find work.
Last year Palmetto Goodwill kept 19,870,525 lbs. out of area landfills, and through those donations in Charleston, Berkeley, and Dorchester counties, Palmetto Goodwill served 27,736 people. More than 660 people were placed in jobs.
If donating large items like furniture, donors can make an appointment for a pick-up of items at a home or business. You can make an appointment for pick-up by calling (843) 566-0072.
Keep these items in mind when preparing to donate: computers, mobile phones, books, clothing and household wares.
For more information about Goodwills programs and services, please visit palmettogoodwill.org.

I recently attended Under the Radar 2012 as GoGrid was a sponsor of this event. As there were several tracks, Michael Sheehan and I split the tracks and I covered Infrastructure, Database Scalability and Big Data. Michael covered Mobile Access, Infrastructure, Performance Monitoring, PaaS in Part 1. Overall, the presenting companies have some compelling ideas and it gives an indicator as to the new thinking happening in Silicon Valley. The trends that I noticed were: a continued interest in private clouds, the increase in adoption of Openstack and the prevalence integrating Big Data.
If you never attended Under the Radar, the format is to have four startups that already have a real product present for 6 minutes and are then judged by a panel of experienced executives at more established companies. The presenters had to be companies that are actual startups with a unique value proposition and a real product that they are able to monetize. Alumni or companies that are already more established can also present as a "Grad Circle" member but they are not included in the awards presented at the end of the show. And like American Idol, the audience also has a vote on their favorites for each category. I included the Judge's choice and Audience choice for each category but also added my own choice which reflects my own opinion and not that of GoGrid.
This category focused on companies that are delivering infrastructure or infrastructure management products. So this would include services that could offer up infrastructure components (like compute, network, and storage) or even tools for managing configurations and deployments. Not surprisingly, nearly all of them focus on the cloud as the operating model of choice.
Cloudscaling – This company focuses on delivering an amazon-like cloud using Openstack. Their solution is comprised of Open Cloud OS, which is a product grade version of Openstack, Cloudblocks, a comprehensive architecture for cloud services and Hardware Blueprints, which are templates for physical hardware. Customers can leverage this solution to deploy a public or private cloud in their own DC.

I don't post much to the boards, but I do read often and this organization is an important one to me. I feel as though "outsiders" don't really comprehend how dangerous pre-eclampsia, PIH, etc... is. On March 24th I was told that one of our mommies from our MOPS group had lost her baby due to pre-eclampsia. I consider myself lucky, I had pre-eclampsia and I had a living child. I also had it with my son, who passed away at 37 weeks, due to a cord accident. Will I ever know if PE played a factor? No, I requested not to have an autopsy. God, I miss him so much. I am so sad for her and her family. [V] Unfortunately, I know the pain of losing a child all too well. I don't want her to have to hurt like I hurt. It's just not fair...babies shouldn't die...

Google updated the OneBox for currency conversion. Until recently, when you searched for [1 usd in eur] or [200 gbp to peso], Google displayed the result and that was it. The new OneBox includes a graph for historical exchange rates and an interactive tool that lets you select a different currency from a long list or change the value you want to covert and instantly get the result.
A similar tool is available at Google Finance, but it's more convenient to access it from Google Search and you don't need to search for USDEUR to convert US dollars to euros. For some reason, when you search for [currency converter] from the US, Google tries to be helpful and shows that 1 US dollar = 0.6957 euros.
{ Thanks, Aahan. }

Catholic Charities marks 100 years of serviceWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
In the Book of Matthew, Jesus tells his disciples that whatever is done to "the least of these" — the widow, the orphan, the sick, the hungry, the imprisoned — is done to Him, and Catholic Charities has taken that mission to heart for 100 years.
The nonprofit was founded in 1914, four years after Catholic Diocese of Toledo was formed.
"You cannot separate dealing with God from dealing with God's people," Diocesan Administrator Father Charles Ritter said. "From the Old Testament on, the measure of the uprightness of society was how you dealt with the widow, the orphan and the alien. The church has to be involved with those if it's going to be authentically faithful to the message of Scripture."
Today, Catholic Charities has expanded its focus to include jail and prison ministry, senior citizen care, disaster relief, crisis navigation, post-abortion support and more.
"To try to help change lives is — I don't know if there can be anything more rewarding," Catholic Charities Executive Director Rodney Schuster said. "It's a real blessing for me."
Catholic Charities has a budget of about $3.7 million, a staff of about 50 and more than 1,000 volunteers per year. It serves about 40,000 people per year, double the number served four years ago.
However, Schuster emphasized it's the love behind each encounter not the number served that's important.
"Our mission is we make real the love of God to anyone who comes to us," Schuster said. "There's still a perception out there we only serve people who are Catholic. In our ministries, we help anyone in need because we follow the example of Jesus and that's what he did."
Helping Hands of St. Louis in East Toledo serves about 300 meals per day and about 8,200 people receive hot meals and groceries each month in Toledo, Norwalk and Mansfield. About 40 people per night receive emergency and long-term shelter in Toledo and 10 per night in Norwalk. About 145 impoverished elderly are provided companionship and legal guardians in Erie, Huron, Ottawa and Richland counties.
Crisis navigator Linda Kraft spends two days a week at Helping Hands of St. Louis and the rest in Catholic Charities' Downtown Toledo office taking calls.
"She's just dynamite," Schuster said. "She just listens to what's going on in their life and helps identify barriers, helps provide a pathway to support services they might not know they could get. And most importantly follows up with them a couple weeks later.
"We just keep walking with them along the way until they get to a point where they are in a good spot," Schuster said. "That's really what ministry is."
The focus is on helping people help themselves, Schuster said. For example, the 125 families on the verge of eviction who utilize the organization's emergency rent program each has attend a 16-hour financial literacy program in exchange for the help.
"Ninety percent of the families we help stay in their homes because we give them the financial skills to manage their budget," Schuster said.
Last year, the program was also offered pre-emptively to 50 families who had not yet reached the point of eviction, Schuster said.
Another program is Project Rachel, which offers a 24-hour hotline, counseling services and support to women who have had an abortion. Toledo was only the second diocese in the country to train its priests and counselors through Project Rachel.
"A lot of times people will say the Catholic Church is about rules and they don't care about women. All you have to do is look at our devotion to Mary," Schuster said. "We do care about women because abortion harms women and we're there to say, 'We wish you hadn't, but you did.' We're never here saying we're better than anyone else. We're all sinners and we all make mistakes."
Mercy and justice
While "works of mercy" was the focus of Catholic Charities for the first 50 years, the organization has been focusing more and more on "works of justice" as well, Ritter said.
"You feed the hungry and you deal with housing issues and you deal with orphans, but you also look at what are the social issues that end up creating the people in need," Ritter said.
For the past year and a half, Catholic Charities has been working with Family House, Aurora Project and Bethany House through a strategic alliance partnership grant, exploring ways to reduce overhead cost, avoid duplication and possibly restructure some programs, Schuster said.
"A great example is the water crisis," Schuster said. "We didn't need a governmental agency. We were all on the phone that morning making sure everyone had food, water, paper products and whatever was needed so no one was going to be left in a situation where the people we are serving would be suffering. I think that's beautiful."
The future
As Catholic Charities moves into the next 100 years, Schuster said his two main hopes are that the organization can be more present across the 19 counties it serves and to attract more volunteers.
"There are many people that sit in churches every weekend wondering how they can help. One of our future roles and goals is to better engage people in volunteering," Schuster said.
Many former recipients of aid now serve as volunteers or staff members, he said.
"We know that not everybody who comes to us is going to have a successful outcome, the ones that do we celebrate," Schuster said. "That's why we do this, one life at a time."
Ritter said his hope for Catholic Charities is that it continues evolving in order to identify and meet the changing needs of the community.
"I hope they continue to not simply do good works — they do that and they do that well — but to help the broader church be more and more aware of the needs that are out there and get past some of the stereotypes we have about people who are in need," Ritter said. "I think we have a great tradition of responding to genuine need when we know it's there. We don't always realize that it's there."
Anniversary Gala
A 100th Anniversary Gala on Sept. 18 will feature legendary University of Notre Dame football coach Lou Holtz.
"His talk is called 'Game Plan for Success.' He shares his story and background and things he's learned," said Catholic Charities Marketing and Communications Manager Andrea Slivka.
News anchor Jerry Anderson will serve as master of ceremonies for the event, which is set for 6:30 p.m. Sept. 18 at the Hilton Garden Inn in Perrysburg. Tickets are $150.
There will be dinner, complimentary wine, cash bar and a silent auction featuring Notre Dame tickets and sports memorabilia, autographed jerseys from the Detroit Red Wings and Pistons and more.
Catholic Charities has raised $400,000 so far toward its $1 million anniversary year fundraising goal.
"This will be a fun, festive event reflecting on 100 years," Schuster said. "I hope attendees are inspired by his words to continue helping Catholic Charities as we move into the next 100 years."

Thanks for support with Heart Benefit
Thank you, Aiken, for making this year's Heart Benefit a wonderful success. A week of extraordinary singing and acting made "Remember Then" one of the best shows ever.
It is with great pride that we note the performance was "All Aiken."
It was Aiken-written and directed, with Aiken actors, singers, band and sets.
The 2013 Heart Benefit sold a record of just under 4,000 tickets and raised a record $106,000 for the American Heart Association. Over the last 44 years, this benefit has now raised well over $1.5 million for heart research.
The Aiken Women's Heart Board wants to thank everyone in the show for their tremendous efforts and extraordinary talent.
First, we give a tip of the hat and our heart-felt thanks to Jim Moore, our writer/director, who has produced these shows for 35 years. Thanks also to his able assistant director, Agnes Hobson, music director Darrell Rains, the band Low Down Brown and the fabulous members of the cast. And thanks to those special volunteers whose professional expertise helped stage the performance: set construction, choral master, choreography, stage manager, sound crew, lighting crew and the great personnel from the Etherredge Center. And thanks to all the Aiken businesses who advertised in our program and to the Aiken Standard for its excellent coverage of the benefit and the Heart Tea.
Finally, a thank you to the 45 ladies of the Aiken Women's Heart Board who volunteer their time and energy to sponsor the Heart Benefit each year.
This was our first benefit without our founder, Eleanor Bookstaver, who would have been so proud of this year's show. We are blessed to serve a community like Aiken, with its talent, leadership and generosity. Thank you, Aiken.

2013 Benefit Chair

A physician from Georgetown is now officially the next state senator for most of the region.
State Representative Charles Schwertner, a Republican, coasted to victory in Tuesday night's general election for Senate District 5. No Democrat ran for the office, and Schwertner easily defeated Libertarian Jeffrey Fox.
Schwertner has been representing Texas House District 20, but chose to run for the seat being vacated by the retiring Republican Senator Steve Ogden, one of the most powerful politicians in the state who has held the office since 1997.
Ogden -- from Bryan -- endorsed Schwertner for the Republican nomination. With 75 percent of the vote, Schwertner defeated Huntsville's Ben Bius in May's primary.
State Senate District 5 covers ten counties: Brazos, Freestone, Grimes, Leon, Limestone, Madison, Milam, Robertson, Walker, and Schwertner's home Williamson County.
State Senator Glenn Hegar was unopposed for District 18, which represents Burleson, Washington and all or some of 17 other counties stretching to the Gulf coast. The Republican from Katy has been in the office since 2006.
There are 31 senators representing the state. A full term is four years.
The next legislative session begins in January.

Google Desktop's integration with Gmail has always been slow and unreliable: Google Desktop could fetch and index the messages from a Gmail account, but this could take days. The new Gmail gadget for Google Desktop doesn't add your messages to the index, but it's a small version of Gmail's interface that sits in the sidebar. You can read your mail, send replies, star messages, perform searches directly from the gadget.
Here are some potential uses for the gadget:
* check your inbox from a fast-loading simplified interface
* find the email address of a contact: compose a message and use Gmail's auto-complete feature to obtain the address
* the fastest way to search Gmail: click on the Search option or type "/" and then enter your query
* preview your message while still viewing the list of messages, a feature that's not available in the standard interface
* add multiple instances of the gadget for different Gmail accounts (the gadgets works with Google Apps accounts too).
The gadget can be installed from this page and it's worth mentioning that it doesn't support notifications yet.
