You know that is going to happen, and saying otherwise does not make it true.
Like many others, I do not find this to be a good thing for a PvP-centric game.

The way it is described in the article, this is not pay to win. This sounds like the typical setup for free-to-play games: make it so 100% free gets a bit too tedious to keep up, encouraging players to contribute a few bucks so they can focus less on money grinding and more on content.
Pay to win, as I am sure has been explained a few hundred times on this site, means that certain items, buffs, skills, etc. are only gotten through cash shops or through an unreasonably high cost of in-game currency.

Again, I have no direct knowledge of MWO...so I won't comment on it. However for all those of you who appear so vehement in your denial of paid for direct mechanical advantages being "Pay 2 Win", all I can say is..... "Methinks the Lady doth Protest Too Much."

The problem is with the players. It's those people who don't play games to have fun, they play them to compete. They have to win, they have to be the best. For me, if I get blown up in a match I shrug it off and get into another match. It never crosses my mind that the person who killed me might have a premium account, or be using gold ammo, it just doesn't matter.
There's a difference between F2P and P2W. F2P means that I can jump in the game, play as much as I want and if there is something that I think I want to buy then I can purchase it. P2W forces you to purchase things, it means that you literally cannot progress or compete without spending money. I respect your opinion and I understand your position, but I just don't agree. WoT never forces you to pay a dime, and because of that it isn't P2W at all.
I have direct knowledge of MWO, and from what I've seen so far, it's not P2W. Now, someday it might be. I can see several ways that they could go down that road, but they havn't yet.

And yet, if people buy their way to advanced mechs by way of the cashshop, on the first day, they can start advancing their skills with the mech they will end up using, right away.
And THAT is a worthwhile advantage, as well as say Ultra auto-cannons vs normal ones, and the eventuality of Clan weapons, which are, in fact better. Pay the money, get the better stuff first (which is better than the base mechs/weapons) and be able to build you edge faster.
That is possible with how they have MWO laid out and how the cash shop will work. Some people will pay the money to dominate off the bat, and that is the P2W Mel is talking about.
And again, it is only because this is PvP centric that it is a problem.

This Pay2Win accusation is simply unfounded so far.
The MWO Devs have publically stated several times that they sell convenience and fluff in their shop and not hand out wins for cash.
As a founder i do not get better mechs - i have a 25% permanent C-Bill bonus on my founder mech which neither makes me shot better nor gives me more armor so i do not win more, i only make 25% more C-Bills so i need less matches to acumulate money for another Mech or Weapon.
And another Mech or Weapon does NOT mean its a better Mech/Weapon that outclasses the old ones: I may get a weapon with more range but less damage as trade off and Lights can still kill Assaults if piloted good - this is where Role-Warfare comes into play.
MWO is not an Armsrace and Pilot Skill goes beyond the usual twitch style gameplay.
The Devs have talked about all of this in their forums and the several articles about MWO in the press and the internet.
"Torquemada... do not implore him for compassion. Torquemada... do not beg him for forgiveness. Torquemada... do not ask him for mercy. Let's face it, you can't Torquemada anything!"

There is no real mech progression, you just purchase, upgrade and pilot mechs you enjoy. Player skill and knowledge plays a much larger role than the amount of money spent. A person is either going to be good at this game or they aren't, no amount of money is going to save them from dumb weapon loadouts or poor teamwork.

This, the mechs all have upsides and downsides. Each type of weapon has upsides and downsides. There is currently nothing in the game that can't be achieved simply by playing the game. MWO is how f2p should be done, the game will have a large player base due to being free and is like others have said a convience thing not pay to win.
Wot's is a different animal. It is pay for convience to a point, if you want to play clan wars you are goin to have to buy gold to fire gold rounds or find a clan that will give you some to begin with if they have some stockpiled. In pug games I don't really notice anyone fire gold rounds other than the odd guy who forgot to change out his ammo after clan wars(I've done this myself once).
The fact that the premium stuff isn't used in pug games for the most part, I'd say Wot's is mostly pay for convience but thats not to say if a moron with to much money couldn't tip the scales toward pay to win if they spent enough. This coming from someont that has a few tier 10's and various other tanks along with 8 months of play time.

Because if you played Mechwarrior series you will know that knowledge of equipment, heat management and use of terrain trumps everything else.
You can kill a heavies easily if you deck out your light mech with 2 AC10s and know how to use it properly (leg humpers are hell of difficult to deal with for heavies and assaulters).
Originally posted by Burntvet
too bad the NDA is still in tact, or you wouldn't have a leg to stand on, pal. don't make accusations about what P2W mechanics you assume will be in place when the game goes live. the developers have made it perfectly clear that absolutely no special extra awesome mechs or ammo (or buffs) are avalable only for real money, and if you'd carefully read Suzi's article, you would see that mechs have to be leveled independently to attain certain skill increases. additionally, anyone on day 1 who wants to spend cash on a mech will still likely have no clue how to pilot it without having spent hours learning it's strengths and weakenesses as well as the particulars of all the maps. i know most current beta players want to PLAY the game and earn their mechs. and finally, learn what P2W actually means...otherwise you are just trolling.

Sounds to me like you can earn in game currancy at a rate (probably a slow one), but at a rate anyway to earn freebies.
Then there's paying to access more of the game. Ever play miniatures? If I buy my Atlas, pimp it with some paint and mods, then yeah I'll make you cry if you play.
BUT it doesn't sound like you can handle a MW game so; thanks for stopping by.

Originally posted by 9reesracer9
Ah yes, the apologists are out in force I see...
Yes, none of them will be RM cash shop exclusive... BUT every single one of them can be puchased on day one, minute one, with C-bills bought from the cash shop. No grinding required.
And you don't think, some of the beta players are going to do exactly that?
Play beta, figure out EXACTLY what build they want, and what works and what doesn't, the load out and customized bits, and then, as soon as things go live, buy that exact setup with real money? And no grinding?
You know they will. They want the edge. And they will get it, paying cash.
In the end, it does not matter much, the mix of how the cash shop will work, and the "community" of yet another F2P title, only this one even "better" from the heavy PvP focus, are enough to keep me, and others, away from this title.
No matter how much we love the IP.

you can't pilot the mechs effectively...no matter how much they cost...without earning the experience to unlock the requisite skills necessary by actually playing. this is a F2P title done right and complaining about a game in which you can be guaranteed to never be at a disadvantage if you actually spend the time to PLAY it (and never spend a dime) is just petty. please go troll elsewhere if you can't speak intelligently and with any authority on the subject.
your presence on the field won't be missed, but i suspect you will be playing regardless of the protestations.

Actually on hindsight I don't really blame you, as the only information you have is from the article. Whoever wrote the article needs to fact check as the important parts of it are really wrong & you will only create a controversy where there is none.
I believe that in the future, with more customizable implementations of matchmaking where every variable can be considered, there will be no or negligible advantages to be had when 2 teams face off.
The future implementation of matchmaking will solve all of your presumed bugbears & boogeymens.
I think I have said more than I should, and I shall leave it at that.

open your eyes people, all online games have cash shops now.
And not all of them alow to to earn cash in-game either.

The interesting thing here is the correlation between MWO and WoT:
WoT: Cash shop with Premium Ammo, Premium Tanks and Premium Player Membership, all of which do confer some kind of bonus, be it better penetration in the case of ammo, or a credit/XP bonus for Premium Membership and Premium Tanks, all only purchaseable for the game's premium currency, which is only available for cash. (And don't get me wrong, I love WoT, and play it virtually every day.) It cannot be earned ingame.
MWO: Premium Currency available which can be earned ingame. All perks, bonuses etc. can therefore be earned without spending a cent.
As far as I'm concerned, while based on similar market strategies, this point separates the two and pushes MWO firmly out of the Pay to Win category. If someone wants to spend their beta time working on the "perfect build" (which seems to be moot, since all of them have strengths and weaknesses), then purchase thier way to that build on day one, so what? There is always someone who's outleveled, out grinded (ground?) or just plain risen higher, faster than I have. It's the nature of the beast. I mean, put another way, who's the top player in WoW right now? Who cares? :)

There is NO such thing as "more advanced mechs" in mechwarrior universe if you play for example Mechwarrior 4: Mercenary. There is only loadouts and hardpoints. And no matter what you do Inner Sphere mechs (the settings of MWO is in the 3rd War of Succession so there is none of that clans crap) have quite specific loadouts and hardpoints and armor and internal types.
Also there is NO such thing as "more advance weapons". AC20 is NOT better than PPC. Yes AC20 does more damage and generate almost no heat, but it only works with 300-400m and needs ammo storage which might explode if hit. PPC generates a lot of heat but can short out/overheat enemy mech's system and has great range.
It sounded like you really know nothing about any Mechwarrior games before you whine.

The scary mess we're facing
Know what bothers me about the gun problems in our country? Everyone seems to have come to the conclusion that the real problem is the killing of small children, but they don't seem to care about the murder of anyone 16 years of age or older.
Murder high school students at Columbine, slaughter mostly young adults in a Colorado movie theater, kill innocent citizens at a political meet-and-greet in Arizona, and nothing is done. And how many hundreds of other innocent people have been gunned down in our United States since the Columbine incident?
Nobody in our country, not the state and local authorities, nor the National Rifle Association, have seen fit to do something about these horrible incidents. It took the gut-wrenching mass murder of school children in Newtown, Conn., to awaken us to the gravity of the scary mess we're now facing.
Who is next to be killed by gun fire? Did you know that our state legislature is considering a new law to allow concealed weapons in restaurants where liquor is served? There is considerable support from our legislators. Why does anyone think this is a good idea?
Aiken has lost two fine uniformed police officers in the recent past. What is the stance of our police chief or our sheriff to the possibility of an armed drunk killing a cop in a bar fight? (Oh, I forgot, the law that is being considered in the S.C. Legislature requires that licensed gun holders must promise not to drink if they are allowed to enter a restaurant with a concealed weapon.)
Don't let this be passed into law. Contact your state representative and ask him to vote against the restaurant carry law.

Lady Crusaders net seven for rivalry victory
Girls soccer
Grace Christian 7, Lee Christian 2
Madison Bolen scored four Lady Crusader goals and Torie Boyte scored a hat trick to lead Grace Christian (4-3-1, 2-0-0) to a victory over visiting Lee Christian (2-5, 2-2) Monday afternoon.
After going through a 0-3-1 record leading up to conference play, the Lady Crusaders have won their first two Carolina Christian matches by a total of 17-2. Monday's city rivalry match was the first for the Lady Crusaders and Lady Falcons as CCC rivals.
Whitney O'Quinn and Makayla Gillum scored one goal each for Lee Christian.
Bolen assisted each of Boyte's three goals. Boyte and Bridgette Angeles had two assists each. Sarah Beard made four saves for the Lady Crusaders.
Lee Christian played a CCC game at Cresset Christian yesterday and will then have a break in their schedule until a home game against Community Christian on April 9.
Grace Christian played at Community Christian last night and will host Faith Christian on Thursday at 4:30 p.m.
Holly Springs 2, Lee County 0
The Lady Yellow Jackets held Holly Springs (6-3-1, 4-3-1) to a 0-0 score at halftime and played their closest game of the season so far, but still fell in a Tri-Nine match at home Monday evening. Lee County (0-8, 0-7) hosts Apex tonight at 6:30 p.m.
Gray's Creek 3, Overhills 0
Gray's Creek (4-3-1, 3-1-0) got a clean sheet and won a Cape Fear Valley match at Overhills (2-5-1, 0-2-0) Monday night. Overhills hosts Southern Lee tonight at 7 p.m.
Northwood 8, Hoggard 3
Robert Straughn's complete game on the mound led the Chargers (9-1) to a victory on the first day of the Ashley Spring Break Baseball Tournament in Wilmington Monday.
Facing N.C. State signee Joseph O'Donnell for the first four innings, the Chargers claimed a 3-1 lead. Against the Hoggard (7-1) bullpen, Northwood tacked on three runs in the fifth and two in the sixth.
The tournament at Ashley continues through today.
Pinecrest 5, Laney 3
Also in Wilmington, the Patriots (9-2) rallied from a 3-0 deficit going into the fifth inning to top the Buccaneers (7-3).

Terry Sanford 12, Western Harnett 0
Terry Sanford (11-0, 6-0) remained perfect on the season by beating the visiting Eagles in a non-league game Monday night. Western Harnett (3-7, 2-3) faced Westover in a CFVC game last night.
Harnett Central 8, West Johnston 7
The Trojans (6-3, 3-1) trailed West Johnston (4-3, 3-1) 7-1 in the sixth innings before fighting back to hand West Johnston its first Greater Neuse River loss of the season Monday night.
Harnett Central scored two runs in the sixth and five to win in the bottom of the seventh.
The Trojans played at Smithfield-Selma last night and will play at Overhills Thursday at 7 p.m.

Step 1: Obtain Propeller Cross Sections
Step 2: Choose your wood and prep it
Step 3: Cut out paper templates and glue to thin sheets of metal
You will need to file down the rough edges because the template needs to be dead on.
Typically you will want about 10 stations, or 10 cross sections from blade root to tip
Step 4: Cut the propeller profile
Step 5: Begin hogging out material
what did you use of type of glue or epoxitic thank you
firstly i want to thanking you for keeping this website,
it is possible to make propeller with bamboo composite fiber material instant of wood?
yes or no
yes means why
no means why
thanking you.
VERY NICE!! how about how many hours from start to finish do you think it took to make the prop?/
2 nights to dry
1 day to carve it (12 hrs)
Thanks. Jim Birke
I'd like to build that one built by AeroEngineer, but I need help.
Firstly, he say that printing 200% pdf can give a full scale (1:1) design: well, the pdf posted on this forum (http://www.aerodyndesign.com/PROP_10/PROP_10.pdf) it's an A4 format and if I print it, even doubled in dimensions, I obtain a scaled print also (an A4 has the longer side 11" long and if doubled it reaches 22", but propeller diameter is 48"!) So, how to?
Then another question: the propeller, even if mounted in the rear of the fan powered boat as shown, is a pulling one, ain't it? Blades profile seems to confirm this supposition.
Thanks in advance for the kind help you all may give to me.
Thanks for you questions. I used a NACA 4412 because it has a flat bottom, making it esier to carve. I used wood because I wanted to carve a propeller. I think wood propellers look great. I have started thinking about using foam and fiberglass, but foam does not make a very accurate tool to lay composite onto for high twist propellers, but wood does, so I want to use wood as my master for molding the fiberglass.
I agree there's definitely something about wood propellors that make them stick out. And 100% agreed- wood is an excellent base for a template.
PS- "props" *insert groan* on your drafting skills- or should I say "pitch-ers".
Oh dear. How pun-ishing.
The man gave an excellent instructable that was accessible to those without the luxury of a tertiary education.
Normal Wood glue is fine- see how hi-tech bi-plane fighters props were- they were used hide and hoof glue they did the job fine.
As long as the constructor follows the glue instructions (dry and free from grease/dust etc & is clamped (expulsion of air) no probs.
As far as I recall, airboat props are encased in a wire cage. If it were to delaminate- the centripetal force and airfoil vortex would blow it backwards- so nothing to worry about in front.
How Its Made (Airplane propellors)
Stop being a girl. Something has to kill you in this life.
You have an equally impressive spreadsheet on your personal website, though. Is it all right to contact you directly with some questions about the maths behind it?
I didn't take enough pictures of the build so I can't really make one. But I do have some of the drawings on my website and if you know how to machine parts, you can start from there.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
And which props have better characteristics and performances 2 or 3 blade propellers.
MOre power.
you have the 10 pieces of the metal profiles.. and then what? how do you put them on the prop, how do you cut the prop accordingly to the profile.. I am having really a hard time understanding it..
Leave a reply if you have any more questions
In effect you have made "outside" gauges, not "inside" (or teardrop) gauges.
THen simply place them onto the prop at the correct station. Remove the material where the gauge touches (or the highspots).
Beautifully done by the way....I like it!!
I am very happy about your knowlege, and sapoting to next generagion,
i got this web side, 21/02/2011, I all so made propeller later i send poto
well done, excelant.
Thanking you,
Ishak M.
this how a marine prop is made

Hi, the next time you run into a conversation with a strong Calvinist you should bring up that being born a bug or an ant would be better of being born a human being.
I recall that someone once wrote, commenting on the relative numbers of living things, that "God seems to have an inordinate fondness for beetles."
VB, remember that after God made everything that is, He pronounced it Very Good. We've kinda messed things up, but God will soon restore the Creation to Very Good, mk II.

Returns and NSF fees are posted automatically—within two business days based on the type of return. By accelerating the collection process, owners typically collect nearly 10% more of potential bad debt—improving cash flow as well. For added peace of mind, Payments validates eviction or in collection in real-time prior to accepting any rental payments from a resident.

CONTRIBUTED PHOTO The pristine flats near Arroyo City are ideal for sightcasting to redfish and trout over seagrass or sand.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Larry Grove targeted these Eurasian collared doves and put three bonus birds in his bag, bringing his total to 18 doves for the afternoon.

DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Don't forget to pick up your spent shotgun shells. They aren't biodegradable.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES White Wing Ranch's sunflower fields along the Rio Grande held equal numbers of mourning doves and whitewings. With a two-bird limit on mourning doves, hunters were forced to carefully pick their shots.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Micah and Wyatt Elbert of the Loop family made good money cleaning doves for $5 a limit. Everybody shot their 15 birds.

DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES A popular pastime for sightcasters around Arroyo City is to search the shallows for birds feeding over schools of redfish. Notice the darker water beneath these gulls.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES We weren't sure whether the White Wing Ranch fields would be dry, so Larry Grove brought along his mule. We didn't need it, but we did use it for shade.

DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES Some hunters in the Rio Grande Valley bring the comforts of home to the dove patches along the river.
DAVID SIKES/CALLER-TIMES I'm not sure why these hunters chose to pitch a white canopy at the edge of this field. But the tent's stark contrast didn't seem to affect the flight pattern of doves.

Visitors to KidsPeace.org or HealingMagazine.org may now read the latest articles online or download a pdf of entire the issue. The special focus of this issue is "Child Welfare Reforms," and there are several articles that both inform the reader and at the same time raise raise thought-provoking questions. Read an excerpt from this new issue:
Child Welfare and Children's
Mental Health Services:A Decade of Transformation
By Ken Olson, LCPC, Executive
Director, KidsPeace National Centers of New England
In the most recent decade, both of these have undergone
significant transformations: Underlying philosophies have been questioned, and
new paradigms have emerged. Providers of these services to children and
adolescents have scrambled to adapt, to differentiate "fad" from "trend" and to
remain true to organizational mission, vision and values. The changes have
been, at times, tumultuous, with mature agencies going out of business and new
agencies and new models of care growing and disappearing rapidly. Other new
models have become a new standard of excellence, with long-standing providers
of one service in one location adapting and diversifying into multi-service,
multi-state and multi-regional providers. While there has been loss, there has
also been a real opportunity to better serve children and families with new and
more effective strategies and interventions. >>> Read More >>>

New York indie-rock trio Fun. and L.A.'s breakout R&B/hip-hop star Frank Ocean scored big in Grammy Award nominations, scoring six nods apiece predominantly in the most prestigious Grammy categories.
Absent a single lightning rod artist such as Adele in 2011, the Recording Academy heaped multiple nominations on a broad spectrum of performers. The academy also bestowed six nominations on producer Dan Auerbach, rappers Jay-Z and Kanye West and British alt-country band Mumford & Sons.
Fun. registered a rare Grammy nomination grand slam Wednesday, receiving recognition in all four general Grammy categories: album of the year for the trio's "Some Nights," new artist, record and song nods for its hit with singer Janelle Monae, "We Are Young."
PHOTOS: Top nominees | Snubs & surprises | Nominations concert | Complete list | Full coverage
Ocean, from the L.A.-based R&B and hip-hop collective Odd Future, is nominated in three of the top four slots. His "Channel Orange" solo debut is vying for album of the year, and the single "Thinkin' Bout You" is up for record — highly unusual for an act that is also nominated for new artist. But "Channel Orange" is one of the most enthusiastically reviewed albums of the year, receiving an average score of 92 out of a possible 100 on the Metacritic.com review aggregate website, based on 46 reviews.

Climate Smart & Energy Wise
NCSE is pleased to announce the publication of Climate Smart & Energy Wise (Corwin Press, 2014), written by NCSE's Mark McCaffrey. In their foreword, Eugenie C. Scott and Jay Labov write, "Climate Smart & Energy Wise provides a roadmap to teachers to assist them in acquiring the background and resources to bring climate and energy education into their classrooms ... It provides a wealth of information to help teachers find resources, including the very useful Climate Literacy and Energy Literacy frameworks, developed by scientists and master teachers. This book is packed with suggestions for where a teacher can find more information and classroom guidance for the teaching of global climate change."
The latest from Texas
When the Texas state board of education held a hearing on September 16, 2014, on social studies textbooks submitted for state adoption, the treatment of climate science was among the topics.
Proposed Texas textbooks distort climate change facts
"An examination of how proposed social studies textbooks for Texas public schools address climate change reveals distortions and bias that misrepresent the broad scientific consensus on the phenomenon," charged the Texas Freedom Network and the National Center for Science Education in a joint press release issued on September 15, 2014.
JREF award for NCSE's Scott
Eugenie C. Scott, the former executive director of NCSE and the present chair of its Advisory Council, received the James Randi Educational Foundation's Award for Skepticism in the Public Interest at The Amazing Meeting in Las Vegas, Nevada, on July 12, 2014.
Ohio's antiscience bill unimproved
Ohio's House Bill 597 is still a threat to the integrity of science education in the Buckeye State, NCSE's Glenn Branch told Ohio Public Radio (September 8, 2014).

New Americans in Oregon
The Political and Economic Power of Immigrants, Latinos, and Asians in the Beaver State (Updated May 2014)

View the Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fact Sheet for Oregon
Immigrants, Latinos, and Asians account for growing shares of the economy and electorate in Oregon. Immigrants (the foreign-born) make up 1 in 10 Oregonians, and more than one-third of them are naturalized U.S. citizens who are eligible to vote. "New Americans"—immigrants and the children of immigrants—account for 5.8% of registered voters in the state. Immigrants are not only integral to the state's economy as workers, but also account for billions of dollars in tax revenue and consumer purchasing power. Moreover, Latinos and Asians (both foreign-born and native-born) wield $14.5 billion in consumer purchasing power, and the businesses they own had sales and receipts of $4.9 billion and employed more than 40,000 people at last count. At a time when the economy is still recovering, Oregon can ill-afford to alienate such a critical component of its labor force, tax base, and business community.
Immigrants and their children are growing shares of Oregon's population and electorate.
- The foreign-born share of Oregon's population rose from 4.9% in 1990, to 8.5% in 2000, to 9.8% in 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. Oregon was home to 377,613 immigrants in 2011, which is nearly the total population of Wichita, Kansas.
- 38% of immigrants (or 143,433 people) in Oregon were naturalized U.S. citizens in 2011—meaning that they are eligible to vote.
- Unauthorized immigrants comprised roughly 4.3% of the state's population (or 160,000 people) in 2010, according to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center.
- 5.8% (or 113,715) of registered voters in Oregon were "New Americans"—naturalized citizens or the U.S.-born children of immigrants who were raised during the current era of immigration from Latin America and Asia which began in 1965—according to an analysis of 2008 Census Bureau data by Rob Paral & Associates.
Nearly 1 in 6 Oregonians are Latino or Asian.
- The Latino share of Oregon's population grew from 4.0% in 1990, to 8.0% in 2000, to 12% (or 466,071 people) in 2011. The Asian share of the population grew from 2.3% in 1990, to 3.0% in 2000, to 3.9% (or 152,909 people) in 2011, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
- Latinos accounted for 2.1% (or 39,000) of Oregon voters in the 2008 elections, and Asians 1.8% (33,000) according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
- In Oregon, 87.1% of children with immigrant parents were U.S. citizens in 2009, according to data from the Urban Institute.
- In 2009, 92.9% of children in Asian families in Oregon were U.S. citizens, as were 91.3% of children in Latino families.
Latino and Asian entrepreneurs and consumers add billions of dollars and tens of thousands of jobs to Oregon's economy.
- The 2012 purchasing power of Latinos in Oregon totaled $8.4 billion—an increase of 821% since 1990. Asian buying power totaled $6.1 billion—an increase of 574% since 1990, according to the Selig Center for Economic Growth at the University of Georgia.
- Oregon's 11,338 Latino-owned businesses had sales and receipts of $1.7 billion and employed 13,916 people in 2007, the last year for which data is available. The state's 12,647 Asian-owned businesses had sales and receipts of $3.2 billion and employed 26,779 people in 2007, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's Survey of Business Owners.
Immigrants are essential to Oregon's economy as workers.
- Immigrants comprised 12.4% of the state's workforce in 2011 (or 241,614 workers), according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Unauthorized immigrants are integral to Oregon's economy as workers and taxpayers.
- Immigrants accounted for 12% of total economic output in the Portland metropolitan area as of 2007, according to a study by the Fiscal Policy Institute.
- Unauthorized immigrants comprised roughly 5.3% of the state's workforce (or 110,000 workers) in 2010, according to a report by the Pew Hispanic Center.
- Unauthorized immigrants in Oregon paid $93.9 million in state and local taxes in 2010, according to data from the Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy, which includes $46.6 million in state income taxes, $23.2 million in property taxes, and $24.1 million in sales taxes.
- Were unauthorized immigrants in Oregon to have legal status, they would pay $154.9 million in state and local taxes, including $24.6 million in sales taxes, $106.1 million in state income taxes, and $24.3 million in property taxes.
- Oregon employers paid between $97 million and $136 million in taxes on behalf of unauthorized workers in 2005, including:
- $56 million to $79 million in Social Security taxes.
- $13 million to $18 million in Medicare taxes.
- $28 million to $39 million in state unemployment insurance taxes.
- If all unauthorized immigrants were removed from Oregon, the state would lose $3.4 billion in economic activity, $1.5 billion in gross state product, and approximately 19,259 jobs, even accounting for adequate market adjustment time, according to a report by the Perryman Group.
Immigrants are integral to Oregon's economy as students.
- Oregon's 9,896 foreign students contributed $304.9 million to the state's economy in tuition, fees, and living expenses for the 2011-2012 academic year, according to NAFSA: Association of International Educators.
Naturalized citizens excel educationally.
- In Oregon, 34.9% of foreign-born persons who were naturalized U.S. citizens in 2011 had a bachelor's or higher degree, compared to 18% of noncitizens. At the same time, only 17.2% of naturalized citizens lacked a high-school diploma, compared to 44.5% of noncitizens.
- The number of immigrants in Oregon with a college degree increased by 61.4% between 2000 and 2011, according to data from the Migration Policy Institute.
- In Oregon, 79.8% of children with immigrant parents were considered "English proficient" as of 2009, according to data from the Urban Institute.
- The English proficiency rate among Asian children in Oregon was 90.4%, while for Latino children it was 80.8%, as of 2009.

- An outline of Proto-Indo-European (2010)
- Indo-European is a branch of Indo-Uralic which was radically transformed under the influence of a North Caucasian substratum when its speakers moved from the area north of the Caspian Sea to the area north of the Black Sea (cf. Kortlandt 2007b). As a result, Indo-European developed a minimal vowel system combined with a very large consonant inventory including glottalized stops, also grammatical gender and adjectival agreement, an ergative construction which was lost again but has left its traces in the grammatical system, especially in the nominal inflection, a construction with a dative subject which was partly preserved in the historical languages and is reflected in the verbal morphology and syntax, where it gave rise to new categories, and a heterogeneous lexicon. The Indo-Uralic elements of Indo-European include pronouns, case endings, verbal endings, participles and derivational suffixes. In the following I shall give an overview of the grammar of Proto-Indo-European as it may have been spoken around 4000 BC in the eastern Ukraine, shortly after the ancestors of the Anatolians left for the Balkans (for more recent developments I refer to Beekes 1995).
- On the history of the genitive plural in Slavic, Baltic, Germanic, and Indo-European (1978)
- A correct interpretation of the genitive plural forms in Slavic and related languages requires a detailed chronological analysis of the material. At every stage of development we have to reckon with both phonetically regular and analogical forms. Analogy operates quite often along the same lines in different periods. Explaining an analogic change amounts to indicating a model, a motivation, and a stage of development for its effectuation. If one of these cannot be indicated, we must look for a phonetic explanation.
- Temporal gradation and temporal limitation (1980)
- In his magnum opus (Syntax and Semantics, Leiden 1978, henceforth: S&S) C.L. Ebeling makes a distinction between temporal gradation (pp 301-308 and 337-339) and temporal limitation (pp 311-315). In the case of temporal gradation "p , q", the meaning "q" specifies the time during which the referent carries the mean-ing "p".
- Proto-Indo-European verbal syntax (1983)
- It is argued that the PIE thematic flexion can be compared with the objective conjugation of the Uralic languages. The thematic vowel referred to an object in the absolutive (asigmatic nominative) case.
- Early dialectal diversity in South Slavic I (2003)
- The large majority of the isoglosses which can be established in the South Slavic dialectal area date from the time of the disintegration of Common Slavic and from more recent periods (e.g., Ivi´c 1958: 25ff). The isoglosses have often shifted in the course of the centuries, so that their original position cannot always be determined. In this study I shall concentrate upon the dialectal differences which originated before the 10th century. At that time, Slavic was still a largely uniform language, though it was certainly not completely homogeneous.
- From Proto-Indo-European to Slavic (2005)
- A correct evaluation of the Slavic evidence for the reconstruction of the Indo- European proto-language requires an extensive knowledge of a considerable body of data. While the segmental features of the Slavic material are generally of corroborative value only, the prosodic evidence is crucial for the reconstruction of PIE. phonology. Due to the complicated nature of Slavic historical accentology, this has come to be realized quite recently.1 As a result, much of the earlier literature has become obsolete to the extent that it is based upon an interpretation which does not take the multifarious accentual developments into account. I shall give one example.
- A parasitological view of non-constructible sets (2003)
- The genetic code, the primary manifestation of life, and, on the other hand, language, the universal endowment of humanity and its momentous leap from genetics to civilization, are the two fundamental stores of information transmissible from the ancestry to the progeny, the molecular succession, which ensures the transfer of hereditary messages from the cells of one generation to the next generation, and the verbal legacy as a necessary prerequisite of cultural tradition. Divergent terminologies direct attention to different pattemings; and finding a logically convincing test, acceptable all around, that can determine whether one such system of terms is superior to its rivals, is often impossible. Yet the slow processes of evolution presumably apply to human societies and their symbolic systems as much as to human bodies, so that when logic cannot decide, survival eventually will.
- Semiotactics as a Van Wijngaarden grammar (1984)
- 1. There are two classes of theories of Universal Grammar: (1) Formalist theories, such as the widespread varieties of generative grammar. These theories start from the assumption that certain strings of linguistic forms are grammatical while other strings are ungrammatical. A grammar of this type produces grammatical strings and does not produce ungrammatical ones. All theories of this class fail in the same respect: they do not account for the meaning of the strings. (2) Semiotactic theories, which describe the meaning of a string in terms of the meanings of its constituent forms and their interrelations. The only elaborate formalized theory of this class presently available is the one advanced by C.L. Ebeling (Syntax and Semantics, Leiden: Brill, 1978). I shall discuss some of its mathematical properties here.
- Polabian accentuation (2007)
- From a synchronic point of view, the accentuation of Late Polabian has been clarified by Trubetzkoy (1929) and Olesch (1973, 1974). The stress fell on the last full vowel of a word form, which was found either in the final or in the penulti-mate syllable. In the latter instance, the final syllable contained a reduced vowel. This rule was challenged by Kurylowicz (1955), who maintained that the stress was fixed on the initial syllable of the word. The latter theory has the advantage of accounting for the absence of reduced vowels in initial syllables.

And we're back! Check out our adorable couple Maria & Mark!!!
Couple: Maria & Mark
Date & Location: May 4, 2013 in Calgary, Alberta
Wedding Theme:
"We had a very rustic & casual wedding. Most elements were DIY including my veil, the flowers, the decor, and the cake. In order for my parents (who are quite traditional) to understand our choices, the word we used was rustic. It worked like a charm. The emphasis that day was on us - not a specific theme."
Dress: Hastings on Hudson with a chiffon petticoat
Favorite Moment:
"My favourite moment of the wedding is hard to choose. It all felt like a dream. The part I go back to again and again in my mind was when we were pronounced husband and wife and a joyous Ukrainian wedding march started playing and everyone started clapping along as we hi-fived our way down the aisle. Once we were out of the room, we both started crying from happiness. That was a great feeling!"
What Made You Choose Dolly Couture:
"I chose Dolly Couture quite early in my engagement. We were engaged for 2.5 years and after only 4 months, I had already decided that I wanted to order a DC dress. I was sent to LA for a work conference and took that opportunity to visit the showroom with one of my closest friends. I tried on all the styles I liked and we took pictures. I hadn't settled on a design, but I knew that it would be one of the ones I tried that day. We finally selected a wedding date (1.5 years later!) and I knew that the Hastings on Hudson was the dress for me. It was an easy choice. I did not set foot in another bridal salon. I did not comparison shop. I knew I was a Dolly Bride from day 1, and that made it easy!"
Any Advice for Future Dolly Couture Brides?
"My advice to other Dolly Brides would be to keep it simple, trust your instincts, and ask a ton of questions! Nikki helped me so much during the ordering process. She made suggestions for my lace and organza underlay and I was so happy with the result."

Cash Mob ASHE will converge in downtown Jefferson 11:30 a.m. Saturday for their third demonstration of organized consumer support of local businesses and local products.
"We were asked to 'mob' Jefferson this month by some of the business owners in Jefferson," said Cash Mob ASHE organizer Nancy Shannon of Fleetwood.
Shannon said the group would meet in front of Threads of Hope and Becky's Ladybug, the two retailers chosen for the March mob. Lunch at J&J Chop House will follow at around 12:15 p.m.
"Threads of Hope gives back so much to the community in that they use profits from the store to fund programming and housing for victims of domestic violence," she said. "Becky's Ladybug is a fun shop owned by Ashe County native Becky Absher.
"We are very excited," said Becky's Manager Allison Langdon. "This way of helping small business is neat, and we appreciate them taking their time."
Part of the group's mission is to encourage area restaurants to source local meat and produce. J&J Chop House has posted a four-entree local foods menu on their Facebook Page especially for Cash Mob ASHE customers. Diners can choose the Ripshin Farms Burger, McKenzie Farms Quiche, Wild Salmon Bibb Salad or Lasagna, all prepared with ingredients produced in Ashe County.
"J&J Chop house is proud and honored to support locally grown food," said J&J co-owner Jerry Davis. "We want the thank our cash mob for all their hard work, and we plan to continue to incorporate this food into our day-to-day menu."
Cash Mob ASHE is organized through a Facebook group at: http://www.facebook.com/groups/516875038333066/. The group is "dedicated to keeping our dollars in the hands of our neighbors rather than corporate entities," and appreciates "handmade, homemade, and locally grown products that are abundant in Ashe County."

Light Rain
Wind: 8 mph
By Peter Oliver
There are people who would argue, with good reason, that riding a bike up a steep hill is pure craziness and that riding a bike up a steep hill as fast as possible is pure craziness raised to an exponential degree. So on Sunday, October 6, 63 exponentially crazy whackos came together for the annual Allen Clark Hill Climb, the 6.2-mile time trial up the east side of Appalachian Gap.
They were greeted by conditions that were almost ideal for their nutty mission: cloudy and cool, with little wind except for a little tailwind, huffing and puffing near the summit, to provide a final, friendly push. Taking the most advantage of those favorable circumstances were Chris Yura, the fastest male rider, and local legend Audrey Huffman, fastest among the women.
Yura, a 34-year-old from Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, had an especially happy day. His time of 24 minutes, 32 seconds was just five seconds off the course record and more than a minute and a half faster than the 26:06 posted by second-place finisher Erik Vandendries of Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts. Second place in Yura's 30 to 39 age group was the Fayston flier, Pat Campbell, who couldn't get within four minutes of the Pennsylvanian's time. Yura was, indeed, riding in a world of his own.
Huffman, too, was a comfortable winner, 45 seconds quicker than second-place finisher Trish Karter. Karter's strong showing was understandable; she had been a regular participant in the season-long BUMPS series, which includes all the major hill climbs in the Northeast.
Huffman, however. . . . she had hardly touched her road bike all summer and sheepishly admitted that the rig she brought to Allen Clark was "a little dirty," presumably a euphemistic admission of neglect. Instead of riding, she prepared for the cardiovascular agony of the Allen Clark climb by eschewing the bike and running up the hill at Mad River Glen the day before in the Stark Mountain Hill Climb, which she also won.
That made Huffman the female winner of the Allen Clark-Stark Mountain duathlon, for which she took home a big jug of Cold Hollow Cider Mill maple syrup, to help put a little weight on that rail-thin, aerobophile body of hers. Campbell was her male counterpart as duathlon winner, with a similar jug of syrup to show for his heavy-breathing efforts.
Notable among the handful of local riders who made the Allen Clark scene was Toby Lanser, the young stud who has taken to bicycle time trials like a bee to, well, maple syrup. Lanser's impressive time of 30:59 was fastest among the under-15 riders and 18th overall. You go, kid. And notable in his absence, again, was the insurance magnate, Jon Jamieson, a generous sponsor of the race and a strong rider capable of placing among the fastest pedalers. This year, however, he cited a pinched nerve as reason for his non-participation, but no excuses next year, JJ. Be there or be square.
The race is a fundraiser for Vermont Adaptive Ski and Sport and it produced a nice little chunk of change for the program. VASS program coordinator Heather Timins and a small army of VASS volunteers were the oil in the Allen Clark cogs, making the whole event roll with a smooth and seamless synchronicity. And, of course, the event would not happen without the magnanimity of a host of benefactors: Jamieson Insurance, Cold Hollow Cider Mill, Waitsfield Telecom, World Cup Supply, Mad River Glen, Fitwerx, and Stark Mountain Bike Works. See y'all next year.

Hasn't everyone saved a champagne cork (bouchon de Champagne) at one time or another?
I saved one from a birthday celebration in Paris with my favorite and only 2nd cousin, Kristine, who lives in Pigalle.
In Reims, Champagne's home, you can buy dark chocolate "bouchons" filled with Marc that burst in your mouth when you crunch on them!
Marc de Champagne is a brandy produced by distilling the grape skins, seeds and stalks, left from the pressing process in the first stages of Champagne production.
La Petite Friande, is a chocolatier on Reims' main boulevard, 15, cours Jean-Baptiste Langlet, not far from Notre-Dame de Reims Cathedral.
They specialize in these yummy candies since 1951. Their bouchons come in all shapes and sizes.
I like these little buckets of Bouchons.
Reims is a beautiful wine town to visit and an easy 90 minutes from Paris by train. Reims is the hardest French city to pronounce. It almost rhymes with "chance" if you hit the "n" lightly...
Cheers and Bonne Annee 2007!

HAZARD – The Perry County Board of Education approved a revised district facilities plan on Friday that could result in the simultaneous construction of two new elementary schools.
With the construction of East Perry Elementary nearly complete, the school board is beginning to address the needs of other facilities in the district. Their latest effort, a slight revision of a plan approved by the district's local planning committee earlier this year, calls for the construction of a new elementary school for the Chavies community, and also the consolidation of Willard, Big Creek, and A.B. Combs schools into a second all new facility.
There was some question at last month's school board meeting about which project should take priority, with the board voting to table the issue and devise its own plan. During a special called meeting on Friday, the board unanimously voted to send that plan to the state board of education for approval. If approved, a public hearing on the plan will be held Thursday, April 25.
Though the district currently has approximately $22 million in bonding potential, District Finance Officer Jody Maggard said in March that completing both projects at the same time is not a likely scenario from a financial standpoint. He noted on Friday, however, that there are options for the board in the event suitable land is acquired and everything meets with state approval, including phasing the project where not all of the cost is borne up front.
The plan approved on Friday presents some tough challenges for school officials, Maggard noted, including costs for land acquisitions and site development, which are both currently unknown at this point. He stressed the projects are still very early in the planning stages, but if completed as currently conceived, they would replace four of the district's facilities that need it most.
"Because of the condition and age of the buildings, they're not what we want our students to be in," he said. "So, if it takes meeting some challenges, it's something we're willing to do to take four of our old schools and come up with two brand new schools."
There was intially some concern that consolidation of the Willard, Big Creek, and A.B. Combs schools could draw students away from Chavies were consolidation to take place first. In that event, enrollment at Chavies could drop so much that the state approving a new school there would become unlikely, said Board Chairman John C. Combs.
"If in the next few years [student enrollment at Chavies] goes below 300," Combs said, "there ain't going to be no school. If you had $20 million you won't get a new school."
By constructing a new school at Chavies earlier, officials could not only circumvent that potential problem, but possibly draw students back from the Lost Creek community who are currently attending school in Breathitt County, noted board member Jerry Stacy. Additionally, there is already a good possibility that suitable land for Chavies could be acquired at the nearby Coalfields Industrial Park.
Deciding to consolidate the three schools, all located within the district represented by board member Debbie McIntosh, wasn't an easy decision, McIntosh said, but it became a decision that seemed to be the most fair to the largest number of people.
"We will try our best to be as centrally and neutrally located at possible, so it's not Willard, it's not Big Creek, it's not A.B. Combs," McIntosh said. "Everybody starts off fresh in a new environment."
"This will send every child in Deb's district to a new school," Jerry Stacy added.
McIntosh said officials have already looked at four different options for land, including a tract just off the Hal Rogers Parkway near Coal Harbor, though nothing has been decided.
The board's final plan must be submitted to the state by May.

To read more about the gardens at Golden Rock Inn, read our article "Helen and Brice Marden's Caribbean Hotel."
The garden at Golden Rock Inn is significant both for its innovative design and diverse, original choice of flora. Phase one of its creation included more than 150 different genera of plants. At last count, there were some 20 species of palm, including the rare old man palm (Coccothrinax crinita) with its hairy, Cousin Itt-like trunk and black spikes, which is available only at certain nurseries for a hefty price. Another, the talipot palm, native to India, is one of the largest in the world. The garden's 35-plus types of trees include the baobab, the red silk cotton tree with its deep crimson flowers, the powder puff tree, and the aptly named sausage tree.

The WVU football coaching staff has gotten a huge triumph on the recruiting trail with the commitment of four-star prospect Shelton Gibson (Cleveland Heights, Ohio /Cleveland Heights).
Gibson is reportedly an "electric playmaker" that could have the opportunity to step right in and fill a void left by Tavon Austin and Stedman Bailey turning pro.
Gibson is a 6'1" 175-pound wide receiver who reportedly runs a 4.42 forty-yard dash. He chose the Mountaineers over offers from some big-time schools like Ohio State, Kentucky, Tennessee, Auburn, Louisville, Mississippi State, Nebraska and Pittsburgh.
Offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Shannon Dawson was his lead recruiter. Gibson marks the 23rd commitment in the 2013 recruiting class. According to his coach, Gibson should not have any trouble academically qualifying.
National Signing Day is on February 6.
… The WVU football recruiting class currently stands at 23 commitments as of Friday, January 15. The WVU coaching staff is in the final stages of making in-home visits.
The NCAA allows only 25 players to count towards each year's recruiting class. Some early enrollees this spring will count toward last year's class.
Some of the commitments so far include quarterback Chavas Rawlins, running backs Dreamius Smith, Wendell Smallwood and Zaire Williams.
Spring Valley fullback-linebacker Elijah Wellman is the only in-state player committed so far.
With approximately five scholarships left, there appear a few prospects in the mix for those spots.
… Morgantown senior wide receiver Blaine Stewart will play college football at James Madison, in Harrisonburg, Va.
Stewart, the son of former West Virginia football Coach Bill Stewart, he was a Special Honorable Mention All-State player for the Mohigans in 2012. Stewart finished his prep career with 41 catches for 612 yards and six touchdowns in Morgantown's run-heavy offense. He had walk-on opportunities at Wake Forest, Duke, Ohio, Akron, Richmond and William & Mary.
Stewart joins Kennedy Award winner Ryan Switzer (North Carolina), Dustin Crouser (Charlotte) and Jordan Clay (Air Force) of George Washington; Cedric Brown (Ohio) and Eugene German (Charlotte) of Martinsburg; Logan Cox of Parkersburg South (Akron) and Huff Award winner Wellman of Spring Valley (Huntington, W. Va.) a Division I scholarship players who have been offered from the Mountain State.
… Check out the Williamson Daily News on Tuesday for game stories and pictures from the Hatfield-McCoy Shootout that was held at the Williamson Fieldhouse on Saturday.

Orthopteroidea orders represent one of the largest and earliest insect radiations, dating back some 300 mya. About 43,800 orthopteroid species have been described – representing about 4.4% of known insect species.
Orthopteroidea have incomplete metamorphosis – they have nymphs that generally look like small adults without wings, and they grow gradually larger by shedding their exoskeleton.
Characteristics of the Orthopteroidea are:
There is no clear answer yet regarding the monophyly of orthopteroids and the phylogenetic relationships of the individual orders.

The Museum's orthopteroid collection now contains an estimated 785,824 specimens. Learn more about the collection here.
The name Orthoptera refers to the straight veins of the forewings and is derived from orthos meaning (straight) and pteron (wing).
The term used to describe the incomplete metamorphosis of some insects.
Paired appendages found on the rear of many insects. May be used as sensory organs, weapons or as copulation aids.
