So this evening I posted a thread asking what formal education / training XOOM had to appoint himself CFO of CRS. I also posted a SS of XOOM calling F2P players "Baggage" when they are still trying to decide if they should convert to Premium Subs or not and I get the ban stick for 7 days on the forums. XOOM is not only rude but very arrogant and they appointing somebody that has a different money making scheme every other day to say comments like the ones below only HURTS the game and continues to make it the laughing stock of the MMO community.

Logic, reason and fact do not supersede human nature. Ignorance reigns without justice.
Without knowing his side of the story, this is pretty disgusting. Why make a game "F2P" if you're going to just insult potential customers? As anyone in a position of power with a online game should tell you, those who are in your game are assets as they improve the value of the game. People stick around, and as a result spend more money. It's much like a popular gathering place for social interactions: Who will want to go if you're the only one around?
When faced with strife or discontent, the true nature of a man is brought forth. It is then when we see the character of the individual. It is then we are able to tell if he is mature enough to grin and bare it, or subject his fellow man to his complaints and woes.
Here is the entire "story" so you know where I got the SS from
I want to reply again, just because this thread pissed me off.
CRS and WWIIOnline do NOT have a cash shop option. This means, if you are a free player, you don't contribute unless you sub to the game.

That's a good thing to know and certainly makes things a bit dicey. Though ultimately those who do have subscriptions may have friends who don't, and thus them play keeps them staying; this may also be true with those who have them convincing said friends to be subscribers.
Aside from that, I think many on this site take complaints with a grain of salt since they're usually one sided.

Simple mind, simple pleasure.
Nobody forced them to go F2P. They went F2P because you cant have a virtual war without combatants and their game isnt compelling enough by a long shot to have a healthy enough subscription based community on its own.
That said, its nothing short of insane to implement a F2P model then bad mouth the customers (paying or not) you get from that. To do so is just bad business.
After all an F2P customer is a helluva lot closer to being a paying customer than someone who has never played is. To put it another way, an F2P customer is on the hook, all you have to do is figure out how to create enough value for them to encourage a conversion from F2P to P.

umm going by the posted screen shot blaming game server lag and poor gameplay enjoyment on free players as well as this very post that is by most accounts calling free players useless to the game.
pretty much makes me as a gamer facepalm this game's company practice and its active overly vocal community.
if they feel so strongly against freedium players there is one simple way to fix it.. go back to pure p2p which this game has run since launch. (mind you at that point they may as well shut the game down as there will be no "new blood" drawn to the game then)
frankly from what i have seen posted from both sides on this game. id rather play CS1.6/dod3.1 or even PS2 then this game. as the other titles do not insult their "new" players by calling them baggage or blaming them for piss poor server networking.

Still it is usually smart to not "call out" people in charge.. Try that with your boss at work and you will see that at best you will have a very difficult time at work and at the worst you will be sacked.
So you got a week woth of vacation... Big deal.
When do the good fight turn bad, Smedley is a good example.
This have been a good conversation

Sure, this employee put his foot in his mouth. Who doesn't once in a while? The point I am trying to make is that going with the F2P model was almost 100% influenced by this employee. There must remain some perspective when someone makes a thread like this.
Tilo, I'm not saying what XOOM posted was good or worded in a way that sound positive. What I am saying is that you'd be crazy to take it so far out of context. He is the drivng factor behind F2P. The guy went from a community member to a company executive for a reason. He has driven more subs to the game than any banner ad or blog will ever drive.
Remember the big picture. Take your ban away from the motivation behind your post and think big picture.

foot in mouth is a horrible thing to happen to game companies. but to be honest when there is enough black spots against agame that is by most accounts past its prime its typically really bad idea to call out any one/group/player type and insult them to any extent as staff be it a vol/paid forum mod or the CEO of the company.
fact remains if they feel free players are a drain on the game then turn off free to play :/ but to be frank. if the free players are breaking the servers isnt that a good thing?? O-o given the lower population this game has now days with or without free players. reminds me of RO1 where 30 servers are all empty with just bots ...

Because I was removed from AHC by the worst CinC NY75 to grace the Allied in the past 5 years.

The CinC's word is final, no appeal....NOTHING. Judge, jury and executioner. Giving that much power to a PAYING CUSTOMER over another PAYING CUSTOMER is a recipe for complete failure. WHERE is the loyalty and good faith shown to me after all the sacrafice I have given to the game and CRS?
It became personal when they went there...NOT ME. As for XOOM, I appealed to him to lift the ban and reverse NY75's decision and you know what I was told??? IM SOL. Why should I give a shit about a game that discards one of its longest serving and most loyal players by letting the allied CinC that has more personalities then Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde have soo much absolute power over other paying customers he can removed them from the game?

to put things in perspective, this game has outlast city of heroes, ro1, and millions of other titles that have been releasted since the launch date.

I think this is what makes the game so amazing. Have you ever read the stories of the EVE Corporate banks being raided by players to the equivalent of 100s of thousands of dollars? Well, it happened and the company did not step in. It's what the economy in that game was created to do. Work as a self sustaining player driven environment. You were removed from the HC, and want CRS to fix that?
That defeats the purpose of the entire system.
I am sorry you were removed. I know you care about AHC and the allied side. I, however, don't think that blaming XOOM and making a post like this is the best way to handle it..

I can use the same argument as you.....I guarantee you if the CFO of the companies I have worked for in the past called out their potential customers for being "baggage and freeloaders" they would be in the unemployment line. Unfortunately this type of behavior is expected and the "norm" in the community and if you speak up about it and voice a different point of view, you are removed. The week's vacation from the play skool forums does not bother me, the hypocracy does.

Want to know what XOOM told me when I pleaded with him to help me get NY75's decision reversed was? "I should log out and reflect" on the situation. We clearly have a bad apple in the AHC ranks, proof by several FORMER AHC members playing AXIS or simply quitting and I plead for help and basically get told "tough shit". There is nothing wrong with a PLAYER RAN organization in a game as long as the core of it is not corrupt.

My word selection and general structure of the posts during that exchange were poorly written (especially in the given context), and the message could've been conveyed more diplomatically. In times of difficulty, things are said, right or wrong, justified or not.
My community will back me up in knowing that I was one of the strongest proponents at RAT HQ to incorporate Free to Play to our game, and eventually assisted in its implementation.
I want to articulate here that I am a strong supporter of the Free to Play model that we have, and DO firmly recognize / appreciate the World War II Online - Free Players, understanding their contribution to populating the battlefield and easing in-to WWII Online's subscription offers at a pace of their choosing.
We will continue to offer Free to Play for any prospective user who chooses to join our unique game, and we will consistently review how we can make it better for them as we have done so recently with introducing the "Airborne Rifleman" to their unit selection.
I'd like to take this moment and apologize to my team and fan base for creating a perception error by utilizing mis-calculated words, that have since been mis-constrewed as an assault on a game we continue to be passionate about, and work so hard to maintain / grow.

The only thing I took from the reply of this person in charge is they helped prove the OP's point by not knowing the difference between THEN and THAN. So this guy should be in charge of his 2nd grade grammer before he is in charge of a company in any way, shape or form. THAN is used after adjectives and adverbs to introduce the second member of a comparison, i.e. I am taller THAN he is. THEN is used as an adverb to show, among other things, a consequence; i.e. THEN they are freeloaders.
What a maroon.
An apology now? I would take it with a grain of salt as the truth tends to come out when things are said off the cuff and in passing Only reason an apology is coming now is CRS was caught with their pants down. An apology should of been given on the official forums but none was offered because anytime somebody disagrees with CRS, the post is immediately locked or deleted....seeing they can't delete posts on non CRS websites the truth is free to flow here. I find it a bit humorous BAR you are asking me to basically "have a heart" and not post the things I post here. Curious where that heart / loyalty was when I was thrown under the bus and then backup over by those in question. I have other interesting SS of GM's sending me unwarranted and unsolicited /tells while I was in AHC slandering players on the AXIS side calling them all kinds of unprofessional things.

A Belvedere man was detained for armed robbery and assault and battery for his role in an alleged robbery on Jan. 7, according to the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
William Keith Hamilton Jr., 26, was placed in the Aiken County detention center.
Officers met the 19-year-old victim at University Hospital in Augusta, according to a sheriff's report.
The victim told officers Hamilton called him and asked him to come to a home on Sanders Drive in North Augusta so he could "holla at him."
The victim said he didn't think there would be an issue, so he went to the home, according to the report.
When he entered, a second suspect "rushed him while holding a shotgun," and Hamilton allegedly punched the victim in the back of the head with brass knuckles, according to the report.
When the victim fell on the floor, a woman began going through his pockets and took several items while the two other men continued beating him, according to the report.
The victim went to the hospital with the complainant, who told officers she believed the suspects attacked the victim because of a burglary in which Hamilton was the victim, according to the report.
She added that Hamilton thought the victim was the person who broke into his home "and beat him up for revenge."
A second suspect, 27-year-old Brandon Musgrove, of North Augusta, was detained on Jan. 8 and remains in the Aiken County detention center.
The victim was unable to provide further information on the female suspect except for her first name, according to the report.

"We challenged her," Head Coach Frank Reed said. "She knocked the cover off the ball last year when we gave her a chance, but she just wasn't getting it done this season. I challenged her after the loss to Furman Sunday and she really responded today. She looked today like she did last season. Let's hope she keeps that up."
Things didn't start so well for the Lady Mocs as the Racers drew first blood. Murray State scored a run in the top of the first inning to take a 1-0 lead that would stand until the fourth inning. Rieck put Chattanooga on the board with a double to right center – her first extra-base hit of the game. The two-bagger plated Kasey Tydingco (Fairfield, Calif.) and tied the game at 1-1.
Both teams were scoreless in the fifth inning, each recording one hit and unable to round third, but Murray State regained the lead in the top of the sixth. Starting pitcher Taylor Deason (Clarksville, Tenn.) hit a rough patch, giving up three hits and a run in the inning, but was able to work out of a jam and keep the damage to a minimal, 2-1.
Rieck propelled the Lady Mocs into the lead in the bottom half of the sixth with a three-run home run over the right field fence, her first career home run, on a laser shot into the stands. With Ninjja Suetsugu (Sao Paulo, Brazil), Tyler Templet (Woodstock, Ga.) and Rieck scoring on the play, Chattanooga took a 4-2 advantage.
The Racers were able to battle back in the seventh to keep the game alive, scoring two more runs on two hits off Deason to tie the game at 4-4. Deason exited the game after six full and Rachel Albritton (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) was brought on to work out of the jam.
Chattanooga was scoreless in the bottom of the seventh and the Racers went quietly in the top of the eighth, but the Lady Mocs took full advantage of Templet at second as the tie-breaking runner. Suetsugu flied out to lead off the inning, but Rieck delivered for Chattanooga with a single up the middle – improving to 3-for-4 on the day – to drive in the walk-off run.
The walk-off is the second this season for the Lady Mocs at Frost Stadium and could provide momentum going into the weekend as UTC hosts Appalachian State for its first Southern Conference matchup at home of the season.
The Lady Mocs and Mountaineers meet Saturday for a double header, beginning at 1 p.m., before wrapping up the series Sunday at 4 p.m. at Frost Stadium.

MURFREESBORO, Tenn. --- The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga men's and women's track teams opened the Indoor season Saturday afternoon at the Murphy Center on the Middle Tennessee campus in Murfreesboro, Tenn.

A few of my favorite wraps:
This was my all time favorite. Clever, clever, clever. So darn creative! Thank you, sweet friend!
Hope everyone had a fabulous, beautiful day.
So sweet! I love the move toward more reusable and repurposed wraps as well as the original use of things of old. Merry Christmas, Leslie.
I love how you've tailored the style of wrapping to each gift recipient. So cool! Lovely, all of them. I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
How I miss your regular posts! Hope you had a very happy holiday. Hugs~Jan
Merry Christmas! I know you're busy with those kids. I think the older kids get the busier the mom gets. I hope we see more from you in the New Year.
Beautiful! I love those library check-out cards. What a clever idea.
Looks like the Christmas holiday was good to you and yours! All that clever came from mark, mark, and mark. I hope 2013 is a year you give your leaves away. xoxo
such great ideas! hope you had a lovely christmas!
I love the library cards!!


text: And actually, while the possibilities there might make some players' heads spin (imagine how many badges you could earn on your geared-out pally for your newly 80 warlock), I think that Blizzard is probably headed that direction. They may not want to open the floodgates completely, but look at where we've come -- we just heard Frank Pearce say the other day that faction changes are a direct result of Blizzard wanting to give players more choice of who to play with, so wouldn't it follow that we'd eventually get more choice about which characters we use? You have to think that we'll see more and more BoA items, so why not just skip to step ten and open it all up? What do you think?

|Home > Tutorials > Bootstrap > Selecting Results
In the Coding Actions lesson, we created a Logon class that tests for input. In the Selecting Results lesson, we act on the outcome of that test.
After the Action processes a request, a result is selected to provide the response. A result may simply forward to an HTML page, a JavaServer page, a FreeMaker or Velocity template, or the result might construct a PDF or some other complex report (like JasperReports). There may be multiple results available to an action mapping. To indicate which one to select, the Action class returns a name corresponding to the appropriate result.
In the Hello World lesson, our results used the default type,
Dispatcher. The
Dispatcher forwards to another web resource. Other kinds of views can be used by specifying a different result type.
The Logon mapping uses a different return type for "success" (the default result code). The
redirectAction result type takes the name of an Action (as configured in the
struts.xml file) as a parameter, and then issues a client-side redirect to the new action. As a result, the URI on the browser's location bar will change.
As we develop web applications, we often need to make forward references – we need to refer to an action we haven't written yet. For example, in the first part of the lesson, the next step is to open the "Menu" page. If we Logon successfully, there will be no where to go, since "Menu" doesn't exist yet.
One way to work around this problem is to create a stub "Menu" page.
If you are building an application page by page, it can be worthwhile to setup a standard "Missing" page, and then include it from your stubs.
The framework offers a variety of result types. An Action can select the appropriate result by name, without actually knowing what result type will be rendered.
For more, see Result Types in the Core Developers Guide.

For Cliff Friedman, a rising 3L student, participating in pro bono work has further developed his sense of empathy and compulsion to give back as a problem-solver.
More than 40 student organizations gathered on the law school central courtyard, "The Bricks," for the student organization fair on Thursday, August 22. The Student Organization fair is put on by the Inter-Club Council (ICC) at the beginning of each school year.
Miami Law alumna Judy Hyman loved the law almost as much as she loved her family. She passed away in 2010 after a long battle with cancer at the age of 52. Her husband, Judge Paul Hyman, and children – Zachary and Kaylee, JD '12, and her parents, Theresa and Theodore Fried, recently created a scholarship in her memory at Miami Law to be awarded each year to a student who is interested in becoming a litigator.
When George Zimmerman was acquitted on July 13, 2013 of second-degree murder in the fatal shooting of Trayvon Martin, the Dream Defenders – a multiracial organization of youth and students – immediately went into action.
More than 300 students gathered on The Bricks early in the morning on Thursday, August 15, to participate in the University of Miami School of Law's 15th annual HOPE Day of Service. HOPE, Miami Law's Public Interest Resource Center, provides opportunities for law students to participate in pro bono and community service events.
Eugene G. Beckham, J.D.'82, recently began his one-year term as chair of the American Bar Association Tort Trial and Insurance Practice Section (TIPS). Beckham is founder and partner of Beckham & Beckham P.A. His practice focuses on defending transportation, motor vehicle, insurance coverage and general liability claims, and prosecuting subrogation actions.
Miami native Leo Lichtman is doing his best to combine his love of music with his love of the law. A musician his entire life, Lichtman says he chose to go to law school so he could help other musicians. "I knew going into law school that I wanted to one day represent musicians by ensuring that they are able to make their living off of their works."
The global law firm of Weil Gotshal & Manges recently established an endowed scholarship fund at Miami Law. The scholarship, which was generously matched by the Chaplin Challenge, will benefit students who have financial need, with preference given to minority students.
Students in Miami Law's Immigration Clinic successfully resolved a federal damages lawsuit for a man who was assaulted by a guard at a local immigration detention center.
The Editorial Board of Volume 68 of the University of Miami Law Review has been posted. Candidates were invited onto UMLR because they either placed in the top 6.5% of their class, or because they placed in the top 33 and 1/3% of their class or section and won the UMLR Writing Competition.
In a world that seems to revolve around currency instead of on its axial tilt, the most rewarding work for Miami Law 3L Krupali Patel is that which supports the rights of underrepresented individuals through public interest and non-profit service.
Miami Law HOPE Fellow http://www.law.miami.edu/hope/hope-fellows.php?op=3 Alex Calle has his eye on becoming a federal prosecutor one day. He's getting one step closer this summer working in the Narcotics Section of the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida. Narcotics is considered one the busiest sections in the office. Already Calle has observed six narcotics trials in just two months.
Miami Law professor Charlton Copeland led a panel discussion providing insight into the world of legal academia to aspiring law professors at the 88th Annual National Bar Association (NBA) Conference hosted at the Fountainbleau Hotel in North Miami last week.
A "lawyer's lawyer" who was a highly skilled and passionate litigator, Mitchell Bloomberg passed away in May, after a long battle with cancer. His colleagues have established a scholarship in his memory at Miami Law, his alma mater.
Ask David Miller what he is working on this summer at the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations or PSI and good luck getting a straight answer – "I am not at liberty to divulge the targets or the specific nature of any of the ongoing investigations."
Nick Bancroft, a rising 2L, is firmly committed to public interest law and believes it is the most important thing one can do with a legal education.
Rising 2L Carrie Cabrera is spending this summer looking for answers to some of immigration laws toughest questions at Catholic Charities Legal Services, Archdiocese of Miami, Inc. (CCLS) – a not-for-profit organization that provides free or low-cost legal immigration services to immigrants and refugees in the community.
When the phone rings at work, most of us answer with a friendly "Hello." But call Miami Law HOPE Fellow James Slater during business hours this summer, and you may be greeted with "Zdravstvuyte." No, that is not a typo – it is the Russian equivalent for a standard greeting.

The Affordable Care Act has been one of the most talked about laws of our time.
Critics have called the law a catastrophe; its defenders say it is simply misunderstood, and that it is a vast improvement over the healthcare system it is replacing.
Marshall Beckham, an insurance consultant with Maybank & Beckham, was in Berkeley County discussing the law last week.
On Nov. 5, Beckham gave a presentation at the Hampton Inn on University Boulevard to a small group of Berkeley Chamber of Commerce members who are business executives.
"Roads and healthcare are the issues you hear about over and over again," Berkeley Chamber CEO Elaine Morgan said, adding that healthcare is like riding a merry-go-round and a Ferris wheel simultaneously.
"It's made for a lot of conversation," Beckham said. "There's a lot of things being said that are not true. It comes down to where you live and your employer.
"There's good and bad. I'm not biased or politically charged. I'm just telling you what I know."
Beckham offered a business perspective for what the Affordable Care Act means for companies and how leaders should prepare.
"Insurance is still insurance," he said.
Large group insurance is considered 50 or more full time employees (FTE), which means anyone who works more than 30 hours per week for 48 weeks.
"This effects seasonal workers and food and beverage companies," Beckham said.
Seasonal and 1099 workers are not included. Penalties take effect Jan. 1, 2015.
A seasonal business would be one that hires more employees for November, December and January, according to Beckham.
"There's some strategy here," he said. "The government will let you pick any consecutive six-month period."
Seasonal companies can sample their employees when they have the least workers.
Companies must offer qualified insurance coverage and must pay 60 cents on the dollar for medical claims.
Under the Affordable Care Act, starting in 2014, an insurance plan that is certified by the Health Insurance Marketplace, provides essential health benefits, follows established limits on cost-sharing (like deductibles, copayments, and out-of-pocket maximum amounts), and meets other requirements, according to Healthcare.gov.
A qualified health plan will have a certification by each marketplace in which it is sold.
The coverage offered must be affordable for employees, who cannot pay more than 9.5 percent of their annual earnings or else employees can ask for a government subsidy.
There is a $3,000 penalty per employee if a company does not offer qualified or affordable insurance, Beckham said.
"If you don't offer coverage at all it's a $2,000 blanket penalty," he said.
There is no penalty for being without insurance for religious groups, undocumented immigrants, those who are incarcerated, members of Indian tribes or if family income is below the threshold for filing a tax return -- $10,000 for an individual, $20,000 for a family.
If a company's plan hasn't changed since March 2010, then their plan is grandfathered in.
"The problem is so many people have had to make plan changes because of the cost. Not many are grandfathered in.
"From what I've seen, you're better being a large group than a small group right now," he said.
A company with less than 50 FTE is not required to offer group health insurance coverage.
The new law also requires rates to be based on age from now on.
"The rate is the same whether somebody is healthy or sick as long as they are the same age . . . It's the same rate for a 37-year-old marathon runner as a person who has sat on a couch 37 years.
"Insurance is not only not free, but if you don't buy it you get penalized. This was communicated poorly. It's human nature to not pay attention until it affects the wallet."

Many of our 5POST members have been wondering what exactly makes the F10′s suspension and handling so frequently praised. This interview with Jos van As, lead of the F10 chassis and suspension tuning team, provides some great insight!
The 400+ horsepower twin-turbo V8 2011 550i (F10) (all details here) made its U.S. debut today at the 2010 NY Int'l Auto Show. It made its appearance in style by being driven into the spotlight during the press conference. Sophisto gray is a hard color to capture, but we think we've got some pretty good representations of it in our photos.
Here are exterior and interior photos of the space gray 2011 535i from the floor of the BMW display at the NY International Auto Show. This represents the U.S. premiere of the F10 535i. A 2011 550i is also present, which we will cover a bit later.
Bimmerpost is coming to you live from the 2010 NY International Autoshow. Although the BMW Press Conference won't take place until 3PM EST today, we've managed to sneak in some shots of the 335is coupe and the Alpina B7 AWD (both world premieres) for you. Stay tuned later today as we bring you more coverage!
In the many F10 5-series reviews available thus far, one of the most praised aspects of the F10 has been its great ride quality. Richard Aucock, an automotive journalist, gives us some insight as to how BMW managed to improve on the 5-series ride quality from the E60. In his latest blog entry, he writes:
BMW Group Driving Dynamics Director Jos van As says it … CONTINUED
Which? consumer test magazine had a chance to test both the F10 535i and 530d. While calling the 530d massively competent and refined, the testers still preferred the 535i, which encouraged a more enthusiastic driving experience. Either way, they felt the F10 stacks up impressively well on performance and refinement against current rivals, including the Mercedes E- class and aging Audi A6.
I enclose report in pdf,
Seems that the tuners are easing their way into modifying the F10 5-series. Weve just seen AC Schnitzer put some of its wheels on the F10 and now its Hamanns turn. The full Hamann F10 tuning program is undoubtedly already underway, so stay tuned.

With the imminent launch of the F10 5-series in the U.S. now that the U.S. options and pricing have been revealed, many of you may be optioning out your future F10. With that in mind, we have created official color photo threads for the F10 5-series colors so that they may aid you in deciding on a color for your future 5-series. See all threads inside.
2011 F10 5-series pricing has finally been announced! The 2011 535i and 2011 550i retail pricing will start at $50,475 and $60,575 respectively ($875 destination charge included). The 535i receives BMW's newest 3.0-liter twin-scroll turbocharged inline, while the 550i will be powered by BMW's reverse-flow 4.4-liter twin-turbo V8. Both will feature the new 8-speed automatic transmission.
AC Schnitzer has released some new pictures with their wheels for the new BMW 5-series F10. They are currently developing an entire product range for the F10, including performance upgrades, exhaust systems, suspension, aero cosmetic parts and interior accessories.
At the upcoming NY International Auto Show, the all-new 5 Series will share the spotlight with the 335is Coupe and Convertible and BMW X5 SAV, which are also making their North American debuts and the BMW Alpina B7 xDrive which is making its World debut. All of the new BMWs will be 2011 models.
BMW has released its full lineup of OEM wheels for the F10 5-series. A total of 16 wheels are available, ranging from 17 to 20 inches in diameter. Check out the full range of F10 wheel options inside.
5POST member Rich535d is our first lucky member to take delivery of the F10 2011 5-series! He picked it up this past Saturday and the car has already exceeded his high expectations. See inside for photos of his F10 525d and his initial impressions!

The timing of the delivery and cost of the product was great.
The necklace and key were beautiful. I even ordered an additional key (at extra cost) and asked them to put them on the same necklace.
They did exactly what I wanted.
The only thing I didn't understand/like was the rice or smelly rice (not bad smell) which was put into the package. I didn't understand the purpose of this.
Other than that I would recommend these services to others. Good Job keep it up.
Note from N&L: Sorry Bre - the "smelly rice" is actually lavender we use in our packaging. Most people love it so we are sorry you didn't enjoy it.

ROSEMONT, Ill.---The Chicago Wolves surrendered the game's first goal, but rattled off four straight markers en route to a 4-2 Illinois Lottery Cup victory over the Rockford IceHogs Friday night at the Allstate Arena.
Forwards Tim Miller (2G) and Michael Davies (G, A) and defenseman Mark Matheson (2A) each tallied multiple points for Chicago, which snapped its three-game home skid and pushed its overall winning streak to four games.
"We got off to a pretty lethargic start tonight," said Wolves head coach Craig MacTavish. "Rockford has been playing well and I like how we battled back and were able to come out on top."
After trailing 1-0 just 1:26 after the opening faceoff, Chicago (25-16-1-3) knotted the score with 37 seconds remaining in the first period. Miller wrapped the puck around the net and dropped a backhand pass toward the crease that deflected off a Rockford defender's stick and through IceHogs goaltender Carter Hutton's legs.
The Wolves grabbed the lead 2-1 at 13:54 of the middle frame. Right wing Mark Mancari's shot from the top of the near circle was stopped by Hutton, but he coughed up a rebound to forward Anton Rodin in the slot. The rookie flipped a backhand shot into the empty net for his fifth goal of the year.
Chicago took a 3-1 advantage just 1:08 later when defenseman Nolan Baumgartner slid a pass from the top of the near circle to Davies standing alone at the side of the net. He snapped a shot just under the bar past an outstretched Hutton.
Miller's second tally of the night came at 13:16 of the third period. Matheson's shot from the point was redirected by Miller over Hutton's glove.
Hutton (10-6-2) posted 14 saves.
Rockford (20-22-1-4) cracked the scoreboard at 1:26 of the first period. Center Peter LeBlanc carried the puck into the Wolves zone and flicked a wrister that went over the stick and past screened Chicago netminder Eddie Lack. IceHogs defenseman Ben Youds bagged a power-play marker with 50 seconds remaining in the game, but Lack shut the door the rest of the way to preserve the win.
Lack (11-11-3) thwarted 30 shots.
The Wolves host the Peoria Rivermen in an Illinois Lottery cup game at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Allstate Arena.

Tuesday, May 6, 2014
A 13-year-old student at Sedgefield Elementary School was arrested and charged Tuesday morning with possession of a firearm on school property. He was additionally charged with making threats.
A tragedy was avoided Tuesday morning by the actions of a Berkeley County Sheriffs Office School Resource Officer and as a result a 13-year-old student was charged, according to a BCSO statement.
Deputy Gary Lipsey, the resource officer at the school, was contacted Tuesday morning by a relative of a 14-year-old student who expressed concern for the safety of that student.
Lipsey contacted the seventh grade administrator to have the 13-year-old pulled from class.
When questioned, the 13-year-old student admitted to being in possession of a semi-automatic handgun which was located in the students backpack.
The student stated that he had taken his mothers gun without her knowledge.
The incident apparently stemmed from a past altercation the two had been involved in, whereas, he felt that the 14-year-old was going to harm him.
The 13-year-old student was placed under arrests and transported to the Department of Juvenile Justice in Columbia.
Berkeley County School District (BCSD) does not tolerate the possession of firearms on school grounds, BCSD Public Information Officer Susan Haire said in an email. A gun was discovered in a students backpack at Sedgefield Middle school. No students were hurt, and there were no interruptions to the school day.
Charges were filed with law enforcement. The student was immediately removed from campus. Per the districts protocol and as clearly stated in District Policy JDE and the BCSD Student Handbook the school has recommended the student for expulsion.
The school has notified parents using the parent notification system.

Linguistik-Klassifikation: Sprachtypologie / Language typology
- Typologie (1) (remove)
- Towards a Typological Classification of Modern Greek (2007)
- In the area of the Modern Greek verb, phenomena which consistently appear are headmarking, many potential slots before and/or after the verb root, noun and adverb incorporation, addition of adverbial elements by means of affixes, a large inventory of bound morphemes, verbal words as minimal sentences, etc. These features relate Modern Greek to polysynthesis. The main bulk of this paper is dedicated to the comparison of affixal and incorporation patterns between Modern Greek and the polysynthetic languages Abkhaz, Cayuga, Chukchi, Mohawk, and Nahuatl. Ultimately, a typological outlook for Modern Greek is proposed.

Anderson Silva inks new 10-fight UFC contract - Bloody Elbow
Back in December following UFC 155, UFC president Dana White revealed that Middleweight champion Anderson Silva rejected the promotion's offer of a new 8-fight. Instead, Dana said, Silva requested a 10-fight deal. Until now, Dana's repeated a couple time that the Silva still hadn't officially renewed his contract.
On Wednesday at a MetroPCS media event, Dana confirmed that Silva's new deal is now set. At the Q&A Dana said, "I haven't talked to Anderson in about a month, but as far as I know, it's done." White didn't elaborate on the terms of the contract.
With the deal signed, Silva's now all set for his next title defense scheduled for July 6 at UFC 162. The undefeated Chris Weidman will challenge him for the Middleweight strap in Las Vegas, NV.

Pecha Kucha Night Toledo will kick off 2014 season on May 10Written by Staff Reports | | email@example.com
By Chase Will, Toledo Free Press Staff Writer
At 8 p.m. May 10, Pecha Kucha Night Toledo will kick off the 2014 season with its sixth presentation, "Journeys."
This event is comprised of local presenters who share 20 pictures for 20 seconds each. The style was invented in Tokyo in 2003 and has been adapted by over 700 cities to promote learning and networking in a relaxed atmosphere.
"The presenters we selected all gave great and interesting descriptions of what their journeys are, and have a nice variety this time too," said Crystal Gale Phelps, co-founder of the event. "We have a couple travel presenters, some that are art-based, and some that are about personal journeys of growth and development."
The seven presenters will be John Abbey, Joni Johnson, Yusef Lateef, Elliot Charney, Amber LeFever, Barbara Laird and Lindsay Williams.
Joni Johnson, founder of photography project Humans of Toledo, will be presenting on the value of living in the moment.
"The overall idea would be to convey moments in my journey, whether it's alone, in nature, in conversation, in sadness or whatever that you feel something larger than your understanding and you are moved," Johnson said. "Those moments can fuel the fire to move forward into a new direction."
Elliot Charney, another first-time participant, will share photos from his frequent adventures.
"I went to Thailand on a scholarship from the Toledo Museum of Art to pursue photography, but I've been travelling a lot on and off since I graduated high school, so I think I'll be presenting on a wider base of my journeys as a whole," he said. "A lot of what I've gotten out of my journeys is, you can leave, but eventually you've got to come home, and when you get back everything seems just a little different."
Through these presentations, organizers hope attendees will meet others who've had similar experiences or be exposed to new ones. There will be a short time available after the presentations for networking.
Pecha Kucha Night will soon be announcing dates for summer events and upcoming themes. More information can be found on Facebook or by visiting www.pechakucha.org.

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. — Massachusetts Health and Human Services Secretary John Polanowicz touted Gov. Deval Patrick's spending proposals to the Corridor Nine Chamber of Commerce in Westborough Thursday, supporting an increase in spending – paid for through income taxes – to make Massachusetts a leader in areas from education to health care.
Patrick's plan includes $1 billion in annual spending in transportation, including a a $12 million investment in widening Route 9 between Computer Research Drive in Westborough and Crystal Pond Road in Southborough, and improvements to intersections at Route 9 and Crystal Pond Road, and Research Drive and Connector Road.
The plan also includes $550 million for education, reaching $1 billion over four years, in order to fund K-12 education and invest in community colleges.
"In asking folks how to pay for it, we're going to have a fact-based discussion about taxes," Polanowicz said. "People in Massachusetts want the investments. … But wanting it is not enough."
In January, Patrick called for a 1 percentage point increase in the state income tax, while decreasing the sales tax by almost 2 percent
Several state legislators have voiced their support for Patrick's proposal, including Rep. Carolyn Dykema (D-Hopkinton), Sen. Jamie Eldridge (D-Acton) and Sen. Harriette Chandler (D-Worcester).
"As the Legislature continues their budget process, this starting point in the debate will allow for a proper discussion on the education, economic and transportation needs of the state," said State Sen. Michael Moore (D-Millbury), in a written statement. "However, we must ensure that necessary services and programs will be provided without placing unfair burdens on working families."
Rep. Matthew Beaton (R-Shrewsbury), a member of the state's House Ways And Means Committee, sounded a note of caution.
"The governor's put forth a very grandiose proposal with a lot of lofty goals," but said the state needs to "fix what's broken" before expanding programs such as transportation, said Beaton in an interview after Polanowicz's remarks,
Beaton warned that Patrick's proposed income tax increase "is going to have a detrimental, negative effect on a lot of families."

I guess I'd say since being born again is a requirement to seeing the kingdom of heaven (per Jesus), in its purest, most fundamental state, it must be alright. However, IMO, then we can add all sorts of different belief systems, sub-groups, denominational practices - along with all our own individual idosynchracies - even to the extent of mental illnesses (OCD type behaviors, superstitious thinking, etc.) that can "pollute" and distort the experience of which Jesus, Paul and others talked about - which is being given the faith to believe upon Jesus for salvation, and the Holy Spirit beginning a new work within us - the new spiritual birth, being "born from above" as Jesus stated it.No doubt we can take anything pure and add our own twists to it - I'd suggest very few have not done so, including me. But I think we/I will benefit from being very careful to not toss out the Spirit-revealed truths of scripture based on our own human frailty and oddities.
Yeah, I don't espouse a "formulaic prayer"...I espouse that the Holy Spirit visits each one, in their due time, in their order, GIVES faith to believe on Jesus as the Savior.The jailer asked Paul and Silas what he must do to BE SAVED. They answered "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved," (Acts 16:31).Romans 10:13, "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.""You used to be dead in your transgressions..." (Eph 2:1) "....by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God" (Eph 2:8)It's the new birth. Birth describes a beginning. When a baby's born, he/she does suddenly exist, but then there's a long process of growth (sanctification, "growing in grace and knowledge" is how the scriptures describe it). However, the scriptures also state that a believer is "sealed with the Holy Spirit of Promise - "12 to the end that we who were the first to hope in Christ would be to the praise of His glory. 13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvationhaving also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise, 14 who is given as a pledge of our inheritance, with a view to the redemption of God's own possession, to the praise of His glory. Eph. 1 Also, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come." So again, I believe it's a real, knowable experience - and must be, otherwise we have head knowledge and are still living according to the flesh/our carnal mind - which is enmity against God.I was very happy to hear Gary Amirault (site owner) the other day say "I still say 'born again'"...I will continually proclaim the need of "call upon the name of the Lord and you shall be saved" - just will try to not add a bunch of manmade beliefs and doctrines to it - again though, not flushing the whole thing just because of our tendency to add our own traditions to the truth.
As we probably already know, a fundamental dogma of the Fundamentalist/Evangelical Protestant tradition is that one must be "Born again". From what I understand, they go through some experience where they believe that they have been "Saved", and therefore unable to loose their salvation. However, they deem that anyone who does not have their special "Born again" experience before they die are doomed to eternal hell. Unfortunately, Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Mainline Protestants, Jehovahs Witness, and every non-Christian religion does not endorse the whole "Born again" experience. So, these "Born Again Christians" claim that most people are doomed to hell, and have the ability to tell who is saved, and who is not. As we probably already know, I dont believe that the people who did not experience that "Born Again" experience are doomed to Eternal Torture. Honestly, that whole concept makes no sense, just cause you never had some special experience, hell for you. However, my personal experience with these "Born Agains" seem to be extremely frustrating. They seemed to think that they were unable to sin, and that they know "The full truth", as only the spirit guides them. Half the stuff they said did not make much sense, so Im not sure what spirit was guiding them. So, I was interested in what makes these Christians believe they are one of the few "Saved", while everyone else is in hell. Is it Psychological. Like a desire to cling to a high ego, and assurance that nothing can take them to hell, and justify it to a certain passage of the scriptures. Is it actually a spiritual thing?Is it actually the work of Satan and his Demons? Considering satan can also twist scripture too.
We are not "saved" by what God does in us; but, by what God has done in Christ.
It is only to the Overcomers, to those who are the Victors is the promise to not be hurt by the second death, which is the lake of fire: "Who has an ear, let him hear what the spirit is saying to the ecclesias. 'The one who is conquering may under no circumstances be injured by the second death.'" (Rev 2:11, CLT)
I believe both of these "groups" are within the group of the "saved by grace" already, and will have a different accounting/situation standing before the Lord than a completly yet-to-be-saved unbeliever.
1 Corinthians 9:24Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain.
Does anyone remember the old tyme gospel tune, "Just Inside the Gate?" Several times I've been so hard pressed there was nothing left I could think of except Jesus name. I was reduced to just calling on the name of "Jesus." So much for highly developed and articulate spirituality!
Salvation is not just from sin, it is to partake of the Divine nature. Many think it is about a better state in death. Jesus didn't tell us that. He said that if we overcome as He overcame we will sit in His throne with Him, even as He overcame and sat down in His Father's throne. God's intention for man is not even to die and go to heaven; but, to live, as Paul said, "...if by any means I might attain to the out resurrection out from among the dead." Total victory, not only for each of us, but for all. God will make us in His image and likeness and we will have dominion. His working for us and in us is for us to, "...all come to a perfect (mature, finished) man, the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ!" (Eph 4) Any of us who are ahead of any others is only for us to bring them in. That's why we're called priests. In Hebrews it says something to the effect, (loosely quoted here,) "None take this honor [to be a priest] unto themselves, but only those appointed by God. Even Christ was appointed by the Father as High Priest according to the order of Melchizedek."

A memorial was held on Sept.14 for Eric Yates, who passed away last October from carbon-monoxide poisoning.
Yates was an offensive lineman for the Goose Creek football team and was voted "Biggest Flirt" by his peers. His sister, Heather Ridgway described Eric as a loving, caring man who loved to help people.
"He got along with everybody and he was always helping those who are mentally challenged," she said. "Some people tend to bully mentally handicapped individuals but Eric always had their back."
Friends and family gathered in the GCHS parking lot to celebrate Yates' Sept.16 birthday. A candlelit vigil was held at 8:15 p.m. with Yates' brother-in-law Greg Ridgway reading Psalms 23 to the group of over 50.
A table featuring Yates' urn was adorned with photos, candles and cakes shaped to look like his favorite snack, Swiss Cake Rolls.
At 10:30 the crowd released balloons in honor of Yates. The majority were black and gold, Goose Creek's colors, but some children picked out some Happy Birthday balloons to be released as well.
Attendees shared stories about Yates. His mother Bobbie Moyer said that she is looking forward to the day when she is reunited with her son in heaven.
In addition to his sister and mother, Yates left behind another sister Shannon, his father Richard, and a 7-year-old daughter Catherine.

There was no disguising the fun on Tuesday morning as Georgetown County seniors held a Masquerade Party at the Beck Recreation Center.
The seniors enjoyed magic tricks by Ed the magician.
Many made their way to the dance floor going down the Soul Train line to the tune of "Thriller" by Michael Jackson, and to the theme song from "Ghostbusters."
As they strutted their stuff down the line those sitting on the side lines yelled, "Go Mary! Go James!"
Some wanted to show that they had not lost their dance moves.
James Funnye and Viola Evans, 91, went down the line as partners.
Later many seniors made it to the dance floor to do the Electric Slide.
Mike and Darlene Dime from the Pawleys Island Senior Center dressed as witches, with Mike in black and Darlene in red.
"We dress up every year on Halloween and sit on our porch and give out candy," Darlene said.
The couple has been married for 55 years.
The site manager at the Plantersville center dressed as Grace Jones, the actress that played in the James Bond movie.
Sarah Young from the Pawleys Island center dressed as a Halloween hippie, and Connie Harris dressed as a baby witch. Charlena Onyeabor was dressed as Frankenstein's wife, Jerlene Wearing was an African queen, and Mildred Pyatt was dressed as a fortune teller, all from the Plantersville center.
Coretha Grate, the event coordinator, was dressed like Cleopatra.
"We wanted to do something a little different this year," Grate said. "And we are giving a prize for the best costume."
First place winners were given a $20 gift certificate and second place winners were given a $10 gift certificate.
Funnye won first place for the males, dressed as a church deacon, and Mike Dime won second place.
Harris won first place for the ladies and Darlene Dime won second place.

A Thanksgiving Blessing and Recipe
Birthday and Thanksgiving have melded together - both joyous. We've put candles in pumpkin pie, had birthday cake the day after with turkey leftovers - all possible variations on the themes. But what says Thanksgiving and birthday to him more than anything else are the turkey cookies we made in lieu of cupcakes for his school classmates when he was young. Actually, we assembled them from various forms of corn syrup sweetened treats. Health food they are not. I've never managed to eat one, but my children swear they are delicious. So in his honor here they are. I won't vouch for their taste, but they are festive!
Gobbler Cookies
Ingredients: Oreos
Hershey Kisses
Red Hots
chocolate frosting
candy corn
Spread frosting over each cookie and place Hershey Kiss on top slightly off center. This is the body. Arrange 5 or more candy corn pieces in a fan around the Kiss to make the tail. Stick a Red Hot onto top of the Kiss (on the opposite side from the tail) with more chocolate frosting to make the Gobbler's neck.
Happy Birthday, my love!

Happy Birthday to the Turkey Day Kid! SO, mom, what was it you were yelling as the dr rushed in?? HMMMM?? LOLReplyDelete
Very cute idea for his bd cookies. Not that I will be trying any time soon, I think you really need to be a youngster to, mmm, gag, errrr, get these down! LOL
Great post!
How neat! Instead of your son;s birthday getting lost in the shuffle of another holiday, you found a really wonderful way to make it stand out.ReplyDelete
What a great way to celebrate your son's birthday. Great story too. I love the turkey cookie idea! I'll have to try it next year. Of course you are talking to someone who spent hours sticking licorice legs onto cupcake spiders for Halloween, only to have all the legs fall off over night...ReplyDelete
Very neat - these are similar to one's I've made with chocolate covered cherries, Nilla Wafers, gum drops, and candy corn: http://destinationaustinfamily.blogspot.com/2008/11/happy-thanksgiving.htmlReplyDelete
Well, I might not be able to eat the entire cookie, but I would probably steal the candy corn off of it. Happy Birthday to the Thanksgiving Day kid!ReplyDelete
Turkey cookies will join the pies and cakes on our Thanksgiving table next year. Happy Birthday to your son.ReplyDelete

Alumni Spotlight on Courtney Stryffeler
Courtney Stryffeler
IMAGE: Courtney Stryffeler
Kent State University's Columbiana County campuses are the foundation for many students' successes, including those of Courtney Stryffeler. Stryffeler decided to attend Kent State University at East Liverpool because it was a reasonable distance from her home and had an associate degree in nursing program (ADN). "I wanted to earn an ADN so I could work as a registered nurse while obtaining my bachelor's in science in nursing (BSN)," she explained.
Stryffeler said some of her favorite memories of Kent State East Liverpool include her friend and fellow student, Amber Wolfe, who she carpooled with. "We had a lot of good times while attending KSU and were supportive of each other while in our ADN program," she said. "Every nursing student needs someone who understands the struggles and gratifications that come with an intense nursing program. She was also there to watch over me while I finished the semester very pregnant."
Not interested in big universities, Stryffeler said she enjoyed the size and convenience of Kent State East Liverpool. "I am not a huge fan of large campuses that make it difficult to find the building in which classes are held," she said.
Stryffeler advises anyone interested in attending Kent State East Liverpool or Kent State Salem to contact an adviser.
"Meet with them to discuss your program of interest and the necessary actions needed to enroll," she suggests. "The advisers are extremely helpful in answering questions, and guiding you in the proper direction to begin your course of study in a timely manner."
Following graduation in the spring of 2009, Stryffeler, began working as an RN. She also started classes towards her BSN. A working mother, Stryffeler is currently employed at Aultman Hospital, in Canton, Ohio, as a nurse in the Cardiovascular Surgical ICU. She also obtained her Critical Care Certification after meeting all requirements to sit for this national exam.
This past spring she graduated with President's Honor from Chamberlain College of Nursing. She is currently a graduate student at the University of Akron and working towards becoming a nurse anesthetist. This month she interviewed for a position in a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists class that begins in June 2012 and is awaiting the results.
"The start of my success did indeed start at Kent State University," Stryffeler said.

In Iowa, Illinois and Indiana, corn crops are burning up and its causing commodity prices to shoot up. Suburban residents are paying to water their lawns, but it isn't doing much good.

UMUC Launches One-Year MBA Program Online
Selective, accelerated program—starting this fall—offers the same core curriculum as the university's award-winning online MBA program
ADELPHI, MD (June 22, 2011)—UMUC today announced the Fall 2011 launch of its One-Year MBA program, available completely online. The program is designed to develop key managerial competencies—including critical thinking, systems thinking, team building, decision making, and ethical leadership—that are applicable in any business setting and that prepare students to take on greater managerial responsibilities and to function more effectively in executive-level positions.
The One-Year MBA program offers the same core curriculum as UMUC's standard online MBA program. To accommodate the accelerated schedule of eight five-week content courses and three business practicum courses, two professors—with expertise in the subject matter and in online instruction—will work together to teach each course. In addition, the business practicum courses will offer students the opportunity to apply what they have learned to their own organizations.
"UMUC's new One-Year MBA program—available entirely online—is ideally suited for today's busy executives and today's supremely competitive and constantly shifting job market," said Rosemary Hartigan, JD, director of the One-Year MBA program. "Whether students are honing their managerial and decision-making skills at the highest levels, preparing to move into executive leadership or updating their résumés prior to launching a job search, the One-Year MBA program may offer the best solution in the shortest amount of time."
Given the demands of the accelerated curriculum, admission to the One-Year MBA program is selective. In addition to a bachelor's degree from a regionally accredited college or university, students must meet one of the following three criteria: (1) hold a master's degree from a regionally accredited university; (2) have an undergraduate GPA of 3.5 or higher and a score in the top 20th percentile on the GMAT; or (3) hold one of 14 approved professional certifications, such as the Certified Professional Accountant (CPA), Project Management Professional (PMP), or Certified Management Accountant (CMA).

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a 12-cup standard muffin tin with paper liners. In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, brown sugar, pumpkin-pie spice, baking soda, and salt.
In a separate bowl combine milk, molasses, oil, and eggs; stir into dry ingredients, mixing just until moistened. Fold in walnuts and dates.
Divide batter evenly among muffin cups. Bake until a toothpick inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean, 20 to 23 minutes. Cool 5 minutes in pan, and then remove and cool to room temperature.
