Interesting. So the koreans no longer hold back on other clients?
Because I thought they still did do that a lot....
It was funny reading this knowing a lot about how RO works, and the development of it thanks to private servers and to hear it from a gravity employee and not...man times have changed.
Good stuff.

Could someone please clearify which company Cianar Cabos is working for? Is it Gravity Co. Ltd. or the US devision Gravity Interactive LLC.?
I'm asking because there's more than one localization team and the patch files iRO gets are being packed in Korea. So, are patchs already translated in Korea or is someone from Gravity Interactive LLC. doing it?

"What do you MEAN you lost my account??"
Despite ill words I have encountered on this site regarding RO, I remain a big fan. This article brought a smile to my face, to discover that the designers are thinking a bit like us players. Well written, and keep up the good work.
I might add that the community of iro RO is the most friendly and all-around outstanding I have yet encountered in a MMORPG.
"And NO sprinkles! For every sprinkle I find, I shall....KILL you!"
Im pretty sure the localization teams are based in Korea, and the translate versions to different languages. Remember iRO is not the only RO that uses an English based client. pRO, bRO, mRO, and a few others also use an english client. So to increase workflow, they translate it in Korea and then sell those updates to its subsidaries.
The subsidary offices consist of 1 head person who handles all the operations of the subsidary office. They are typically a paid Gravity Korea employee. The remaining staff at the subsidary office are engineers to maintain the servers. There are 10 at the iRO office, and a GM team to keep players happy; there are 30 GMs at the iRO office.
No development to my knowledge is handled at a subsidary office.
Also it seems odd that they would post this news here, there are like 10 people who come to this forum that keep up with Ragnarok Online. I mean they havent even said anything about Ragnarok Online 2, and how it will be entering Closed beta after a Trade Show in japan. The closed beta will most likely be limited to Korea.
See the problem is RO is more of a kids game. Especially outside of the US and in asia. But it does seem odd that something like this would be posted here, but I mean this is the site in NA for mmo's !
Most people stop coming because I and some others were stopped from talking about private servers and everything about them. I miss those days D: nothing but trading NPC scripts for your servers (well not here on this particular site) lol. And like everyone used Yare.
I keep up with kRO and always like to see what iRO is up too I get their newsletter in the mail too. The reason is because iRO introduced me to Ragnarok Online with their beta. But comparing kRO to all the other servers is still a joke though they have so much more.
If only here in America we could buy merchandise ! I like what he said about the RO pajama's and Poring plush doll.

This game looks like a HYPER CHARGED version of Tibia! doesn't it?
We arent so behind kRO anymore which is nice. Only an update season behind thier sakray.
Where the heck have you been. And no...Tibia doesn't have anything on this game.
Also iRO is now just about up to date as most private servers. Only the server is more stable, and its more likely you wont encounter bugs or character wipes.

Too bad this journal reminds me more of an ad than a (developers) journal. Good thing the writer actually knows english (& has excellent writing skills) since Gravity isnt famous for its english language support.
(Anyone know what happened to the one native english speaker that was hired at end of beta2? Was rumored to get placed on "eRO" but got to work on some other client?)
LOL but it took them years now ! Because private servers use the kro + sakray !
I mean they have had Transcendent classes for a looong time. Also the key difference between private servers and the official is of course price, stability (most of the time at least), and the grind.
Private servers are built to tailor every kind of RO players needs. Whether it be PVP, fast leveling etc.
I for one will never play on iRO Ragnarok is not worth paying for even after all these years when a free option though illegal is available.

While I was a big fan of this game since before it turned P2P, I found that content and customer service were the biggest issues. While its nice to see a "developer Journal" can you honestly say its developing? Everything has always been passed down from korea, you always know whats around the corner. But with the newer games out, its always a suprise! Blizzard does a great job at listening to its community, making changes, and pumping out the new content for its players. Im not taking sides, but I believe Blizzard is setting the line for the next generation MMORPG's
Wow you guys havent played RO in a while cause most of what you said is no longer true about Gravity.
The english is great cause they hired translators, thats what the guy who wrote the journal primarily does, changes the korean to english. The customer support is literally the best in the industry now. Even if you have in-game GM's in worlds of warcraft, you still cant count on them to responding to your request within 6 hours. Gravity's GMs now respond in less than an hour. Plus the servers only rescently had problems, but despite the problems, they are still far superior to the stability of a Private server. After all thats why we pay, to get the customer support and the server stability.
Here are some things to remember about private servers. If you run into a problem, you can't very well ask at an official site how to fix it since the technology is different. So your stuck trying to get answers from the engine writers, which could take weeks. Your lucky to keep your characters for a week, and the play doesnt match the original version since it is emulated. Not to mention it adds a whole string of bugs trying to play the kRO client on emulated engine since if it is written like the original engine then the engine writers get thier pants sued off.
Also its funny how you think Blizzard listens to customers cause what have they done that the customers wanted? Make it so you can actually get into your server (after almost a year from its original release)? Gravity definetly listens to thier customers now after the whole string of bad updates 2 years ago with Amatsu, Kunlun, and Advanced classes. So now if you look at thier updates they look like fun, like players suggested them and they refined them. They are even making one of the most beautifully rendered games in mmo history with Ragnarok Online 2 cause thier customers complained about the graphics in Ragnarok Online. The difference between Gravity and Blizzard is that Gravity tries its best to have atleast 1 update every month and a major update every 6 months. Your lucky to see a minor update from blizzard in 3.

I am very sorry to hear this Cleffy.
When I decided to quit ragnarok, A monster called Lord of Death was put into the game, allowing friends and whole guilds to literally make the final level (99) within days. Whole guilds (Lethal Death, Gods of War, Mealstrom) ect. Would actually exploit this monster, now were is the fun in that? Did gravity fix this problem? No, they waited untill the next available update (Juno) was released. Even this did not stop the problem compleatly. I have re-activated my account within the year to say hello to all my friends who were hard to find, since everyone in prontera has a 99 aura.
Blizzard has infact, had 12 updates, two wich have been major content patches (1.5.1 and 1.6.1) between the dates of June 8, 2005 and August 12, 2005. The updates are all listed on the site if you would like to look them up. While I can't comment on Gravity's new customer service, blizzard has taken me from 5 days, to 2 hours on repsonses. Ive grown out of that game, the damage is done, and while the customer service may have improved, even us devoted fans have moved on to newer and 3-d games.
Now what guild was I in with you? I know a Cleff, Knight.
Don't mean to sound so defensive about Gravity, but alot of you are accusing them of things that are not longer true. I also moved on to other games cause well its boring.
I was in the Crimson Guard
The Pirates of Al de Baran
Dragoon Knights
Noblesse Oblige
and Nuetral~Authority
Also they got rid of the LoD farming; and made people aware of who has been LoD farming. Cause they special classes but total noobs with them and have terrible builds.

i play RO and there is no real development....there has been no UI updates, graphics are still poor, latency is still an issue(its fuckin 2d sprites), and player customizations suck. I only play for my guild and allies to help during WoE.
just to let ya know where i'm coming from- I play as Baltimore Dank on Chaos server with the guild Deity, we're allied with the strongest USA guilds- Denuo Covena, Resurrection, LethalDeath, Harbingers of LLoth, Kyotetzu, and the rest the GOLD aliance....our enemies at wave are a formidable foe too... I'm also a professional tester for several publishers and other game companies.
RO has so many bugs it's recockulous.....adding a fucked up map doesnt count as development and i believe theres 0 american development, just server people, and PR fags(no offense gay folks). that juno talk is full bullshit, i quit last september to play WoW and juno hasnt changed cept for a monster named paper there(just came back 3weeks ago)....there is no development or new graphics....
i hate lies and hype....RO has failed because they gave up on it....WoW has more new content in a month than RO has had 3yrs....
If you need help testing a game and need some bug finders, mail me here, i got a whole team ready to smoke yur game.

Its the engine itself, I get the EXACT same slowdowns on my P2-233 & my new P4-3ghz (with 1gig ram etc). Gravity cant fix it since its 4/5 years now that that issue is still in. (/effect works but then you can see any effects, dont know if that command can still be used).
Another problem is that its better to kill bosses & MVP:s alone because server cannot track team-damage or divide loot to a team other then dropping everything on the ground & give some players priotity (click-fest).
Class-balance has never existed & never will, tank-damage-heal & thats it. There is one heal class (acolyte, which get class selections later but still count as on) so EVERYBODY bugs them because the HP/MP gain by sitting is messed up.

I'm really digging the Young Adult fantasy this week, guys. Fantasy is not my typical genre of choice as I have revealed many times, but Graceling by Kristin Cashore and its subsequent series is just the right fit for me. It has adventure and romance and people with special gifts. It's just a fun read all around.
So basically the reader is put into this world were certain people have "graces" or special abilities. For example, the main character of the first book, Katsa, has a fighting grace whereas an important character in the third book has a grace that allows him to give dreams. You know that a person has a grace because they have different colored eyes. One of Katsa's eyes is green and the other is blue. Katsa meets a graced boy named Po (yes, really), and together with their friends they end the reign of a terrible, terrible king.
See? It's fun, right?! It's a wonderful example of Young Adult fantasy.
Now I wouldn't say there is anything particularly special about this book (or the series as a whole). Cashore's storytelling is solid, but not amazing. The world she creates is intriguing, but no Middle Earth. Her characters have good depth, though. They are probably my favorite part. Cashore does a great job of examining motive and giving them layers to unfold.
It's good, but not mind-blowing.
The second book is called Fire and adds a very intriguing twist to the story as a whole. It's actually set in a different world. Well, not technically, I suppose. The world of the first book and the world of the second are divided by a vast mountain range that, apparently, no one every crossed. Thus, no one on either side knows that there are people on the other side.
Something that got me when I read the Graceling series, is the funny and somewhat ridiculous names. I know this isn't a very literary criticism, but really, Po and Bitterblue? The third book is actually called Bitterblue because that's the name of the main character for that book. I'm all for unique names and thinking outside the box, but Cashore went way, way, way outside the box. A+ for creativity, Kristin.

For those behind the scenes
Every day and night I focus on the youth of Rutherford County that takes the field, court, pool or mats. Well not this column.
All the events I attend are focused on the kids but the parents, teachers and volunteers in the background are what make it all happen.
They are the ones that support their teams no matter the sport, no matter their talent level and no matter the time of year or day.
From those in the ticket booth to those pouring hot cheese on the nachos in the concession stands.
Then you have the parents that are in the stands cheering on their child no matter where they go. I see them every night regardless of whether the game is home or away.
Saturday morning at the Central Duals at R-S Central High School was one of the greatest displays I've seen of team support.
I walked into a chilly R-S Central gym and moseyed over sleepily to a seat to find the best area to shot pictures. My tummy grumbled and I regretted my decision not to run by a drive-thru and grab a biscuit. I figured there was no chance the concession stand would be open at 9 a.m., and even if it was, who over the age of 5 wants popcorn or a chocolate bar for breakfast?
I decided to take a chance and by some source of divinity, they were serving pancakes! I had to wash down my four pancakes with a Mountain Dew, but beggars can't be choosers at a frigid high school gym on a Saturday morning.
Inside the gym were parents still bundled up to brave the indoor elements as their wrestlers risked sickness to compete in their singlets. They were hollering, screaming, working video camcorders and taking pictures.
Whenever they recognized me they made a point to thank me for the coverage that their more than often overlooked sports has received in the past months.
It's amazing to see parents that choose to support their own over anything else on a Saturday morning.
It's obvious this is a community that loves their children and they show it every night. I hope the kids realize it because I know that I sure do.

Toyota Pays $1.2B for Misleading U.S.; Civil Claims Remain
What's being said
Regardless of the confession beaten out of it, Toyotas biggest mistakes were these:
The first was to be a Japanese company dominating the U.S. auto market when a debt-driving, cash-strapped administration beholden to the personal injury bar and organized labor became the principal shareholder in a bankrupted GM. Talk about a conflict of interest. What a shameful sham and shakedown.
The second mistake was to cave into this state-sponsored extortion. The lesson all automakers and other companies should take from this episode is that they should act like Apple (see http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-57619542-37/apple-files-appeal-in-e-book-antitrust-case/), not like Toyota, and tenaciously resist such crony-corrupted witch hunts, the likes of which the current DOJ, its congressional allies and many state attorneys general have sadly become notorious.

- White matter differences between healthy young ApoE4 carriers and non-carriers identified with tractography and support vector machines (2012)
- The apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) is an established risk factor for Alzheimer's disease (AD). Previous work has shown that this allele is associated with functional (fMRI) changes as well structural grey matter (GM) changes in healthy young, middle-aged and older subjects. Here, we assess the diffusion characteristics and the white matter (WM) tracts of healthy young (20-38 years) ApoE4 carriers and non-carriers. No significant differences in diffusion indices were found between young carriers (ApoE4+) and non-carriers (ApoE4-). There were also no significant differences between the groups in terms of normalised GM or WM volume. A feature selection algorithm (ReliefF) was used to select the most salient voxels from the diffusion data for subsequent classification with support vector machines (SVMs). SVMs were capable of classifying ApoE4 carrier and non-carrier groups with an extremely high level of accuracy. The top 500 voxels selected by ReliefF were then used as seeds for tractography which identified a WM network that included regions of the parietal lobe, the cingulum bundle and the dorsolateral frontal lobe. There was a non-significant decrease in volume of this WM network in the ApoE4 carrier group. Our results indicate that there are subtle WM differences between healthy young ApoE4 carriers and non-carriers and that the WM network identified may be particularly vulnerable to further degeneration in ApoE4 carriers as they enter middle and old age.
- Using support vector machines with multiple indices of diffusion for automated classification of mild cognitive impairment (2012)
- Few studies have looked at the potential of using diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) in conjunction with machine learning algorithms in order to automate the classification of healthy older subjects and subjects with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Here we apply DTI to 40 healthy older subjects and 33 MCI subjects in order to derive values for multiple indices of diffusion within the white matter voxels of each subject. DTI measures were then used together with support vector machines (SVMs) to classify control and MCI subjects. Greater than 90% sensitivity and specificity was achieved using this method, demonstrating the potential of a joint DTI and SVM pipeline for fast, objective classification of healthy older and MCI subjects. Such tools may be useful for large scale drug trials in Alzheimer's disease where the early identification of subjects with MCI is critical.
- Sexual dimorphism in healthy aging and mild cognitive impairment : a DTI study (2012)
- Previous PET and MRI studies have indicated that the degree to which pathology translates into clinical symptoms is strongly dependent on sex with women more likely to express pathology as a diagnosis of AD, whereas men are more resistant to clinical symptoms in the face of the same degree of pathology. Here we use DTI to investigate the difference between male and female white matter tracts in healthy older participants (24 women, 16 men) and participants with mild cognitive impairment (21 women, 12 men). Differences between control and MCI participants were found in fractional anisotropy (FA), radial diffusion (DR), axial diffusion (DA) and mean diffusion (MD). A significant main effect of sex was also reported for FA, MD and DR indices, with male control and male MCI participants having significantly more microstructural damage than their female counterparts. There was no sex by diagnosis interaction. Male MCIs also had significantly less normalised grey matter (GM) volume than female MCIs. However, in terms of absolute brain volume, male controls had significantly more brain volume than female controls. Normalised GM and WM volumes were found to decrease significantly with age with no age by sex interaction. Overall, these data suggest that the same degree of cognitive impairment is associated with greater structural damage in men compared with women.
- Reduced hippocampal volume in healthy young ApoE4 carriers : an MRI study (2012)
- The E4 allele of the ApoE gene has consistently been shown to be related to an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The E4 allele is also associated with functional and structural grey matter (GM) changes in healthy young, middle-aged and older subjects. Here, we assess volumes of deep grey matter structures of 22 healthy younger ApoE4 carriers and 22 non-carriers (20–38 years). Volumes of the nucleus accumbens, amygdala, caudate nucleus, hippocampus, pallidum, putamen, thalamus and brain stem were calculated by FMRIB's Integrated Registration and Segmentation Tool (FIRST) algorithm. A significant drop in volume was found in the right hippocampus of ApoE4 carriers (ApoE4+) relative to non-carriers (ApoE4−), while there was a borderline significant decrease in the volume of the left hippocampus of ApoE4 carriers. The volumes of no other structures were found to be significantly affected by genotype. Atrophy has been found to be a sensitive marker of neurodegenerative changes, and our results show that within a healthy young population, the presence of the ApoE4+ carrier gene leads to volume reduction in a structure that is vitally important for memory formation. Our results suggest that the hippocampus may be particularly vulnerable to further degeneration in ApoE4 carriers as they enter middle and old age. Although volume reductions were noted bilaterally in the hippocampus, atrophy was more pronounced in the right hippocampus. This finding relates to previous work which has noted a compensatory increase in right hemisphere activity in ApoE4 carriers in response to preclinical declines in memory function. Possession of the ApoE4 allele may lead to greater predilection for right hemisphere atrophy even in healthy young subjects in their twenties.
- Multiple indices of diffusion identifies white matter damage in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease (2011)
- The study of multiple indices of diffusion, including axial (DA), radial (DR) and mean diffusion (MD), as well as fractional anisotropy (FA), enables WM damage in Alzheimer's disease (AD) to be assessed in detail. Here, tract-based spatial statistics (TBSS) were performed on scans of 40 healthy elders, 19 non-amnestic MCI (MCIna) subjects, 14 amnestic MCI (MCIa) subjects and 9 AD patients. Significantly higher DA was found in MCIna subjects compared to healthy elders in the right posterior cingulum/precuneus. Significantly higher DA was also found in MCIa subjects compared to healthy elders in the left prefrontal cortex, particularly in the forceps minor and uncinate fasciculus. In the MCIa versus MCIna comparison, significantly higher DA was found in large areas of the left prefrontal cortex. For AD patients, the overlap of FA and DR changes and the overlap of FA and MD changes were seen in temporal, parietal and frontal lobes, as well as the corpus callosum and fornix. Analysis of differences between the AD versus MCIna, and AD versus MCIa contrasts, highlighted regions that are increasingly compromised in more severe disease stages. Microstructural damage independent of gross tissue loss was widespread in later disease stages. Our findings suggest a scheme where WM damage begins in the core memory network of the temporal lobe, cingulum and prefrontal regions, and spreads beyond these regions in later stages. DA and MD indices were most sensitive at detecting early changes in MCIa.
- Elevated CSF levels of TACE activity and soluble TNF receptors in subjects with mild cognitive impairment and patients with Alzheimer's disease (2011)
- We recently reported that expression levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) receptors, TNFR1 and TNFR2, are significantly changed in the brains and cerebral spinal cerebral fluid (CSF) with Alzheimer's disease (AD). Moreover, we also found that, in an Alzheimer's mouse model, genetic deletion of TNF receptor (TNFR1) reduces amyloid plaques and amyloid beta peptides (Abeta) production through beta-secretase (BACE1) regulation. TNF-alpha converting enzyme (TACE/ADAM-17) does not only cleave pro- TNF-alpha but also TNF receptors, however, whether the TACE activity was changed in the CSF was not clear. In this study, we examined TACE in the CSF in 32 AD patients and 27 age-matched healthy controls (HCs). Interestingly, we found that TACE activity was significantly elevated in the CSF from AD patients compared with HCs. Furthermore, we also assayed the CSF levels of TACE cleaved soluble forms of TNFR1 and TNFR2 in the same patients. We found that AD patients had higher levels of both TACE cleaved soluble TNFR1 (sTNFR1) and TNFR2 (sTNFR2) in the CSF compared with aged- and gender-matched healthy controls. Levels of sTNFR1 correlated strongly with the levels of sTNFR2 (rs = 0.567-0.663, p < 0.01). The levels of both sTNFR1 and sTNFR2 significantly correlated with the TACE activity (rs = 0.491-0.557, p < 0.05). To examine if changes in TACE activity and in levels of cleaved soluble TNFRs are an early event in the course of Alzheimer's disease, we measured these molecules in the CSF from 47 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) which is considered as a preclinical stage of AD. Unexpectedly, we found significantly higher levels of TACE activity and soluble TNFR in the MCI group. These results suggest that TACE activity and soluble TNF receptors may be potential diagnostic candidate biomarkers in AD and MCI.

|In retrospect, I should have known better...this route in late August, with no snow, is a horror. Steep and loose, football-sized rocks and larger launching. Heck, the melting snow was launching rocks up to fist-sized. Without snow, there is absolutely NOTHING stable about this line. Awful crux section on an otherwise delightful mountain.

|One hell of a line! I can see what Roach and Cooper mean by this climb being one of the best and hazardous.
For early July, snow continued all the way to the col with a 6' ice section at the crux and patchy ice after this.
A very decent climb.
Continued on to Atlantic, re-climbed Pacific and on to Crystal and Father Dyer afterwards with Stephanie.

1. Our trailer hitch broke on this trip, necessitating us to dump our trailer upside down on top of our pick-up truck.
2. My mom quit smoking this trip.
3. I wanted to do the "ridge-walk" to Fletcher but my dad advised that it was not a safe route to do this time of year (it was very snowy).

|10/1/05 - Mayflower Gulch approach. Traversed from Crystal and then continued along ridge to Atlantic. New snow made talus hopping difficult & annoying.
6/12/09 - Attempt #2 at the North Couloir after backing off two weeks earlier due to unsafe snow conditions. Approached via Mohawk Basin. The cornice was frequently shedding snow down a large runnel on both of my early morning visits. A great line that deserves a bit more respect than the average Colorado snow climb.

|Highest lake at 13,500?
Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2007
|Lonely at the top this July. I expected to see more friends but alas Pacific was peaceful. I had a nice view and boot ski down to what I understand is officially the highest lake in the contigous US (According to limited research on my part, Lake of the Sun at 13,780' is in the Crater of Nevado de Toluca volcano, is the highest in North Amercan) I've also heard that there is a "lake" (that some nuts have gone into with scuba gear) under Mount Ranier's icy summmit. If these are actual lakes, it would seem that these would be above 14,000 feet and therefore higher. Anyone know?
3 in a day! heres the repeat story...
I've approached Fletcher 3 times and turned back from a blizzard from Blue Lakes, and thwumping avalanches from the Mayflower Gulch side. This I climbed the rock rib left of the main gulley from Mayflower Gulch. The rocks were slick as snot from perpetual rain the night before. Clouds rolled in and turned me away from Driftwood, but the clouds seemed stable as I descended. I didn't like the rotten Chamonix looking traverse to Atlantic, so I went up the green south wall of Atlantic Peak nad onto Pacific, then a quick visit to the cute little green horn on the way back to Mayflowwer Gulch.

|6/12/09- climbed the north couloir with sarah and dwight. the recent snows gave the couloir a softer top layer instead of the expected hard pack after the bend. we measured it at 52 degrees after the bend. it got steeper after that(55-57 degrees) but i don't know if it touched 60 degrees or not.
1/26/07- climbed the west ridge, and oh man it's one beastly winter climb. lots of class four with a low five crux. the ice and snow force you places you don't always want to go. bring your axe AND crampons!

Jen, this is a delightful (WIP) painting of the soccer boys. Reminds me of Norman Rockwell.
Comments and critiques are welcome.
Sarah - nice rendering of the musk ox! I've only seen these in the zoo.
Thank you all for the good words on my sweaty little boys! Claudia I am honoured you like it. Perhaps a good reproduction would travel best. I have a friend who gets them done for her paintings and they look great. Reproduction is not the word I am looking for but I can't think what the correct word is tonight! My art friends have all fallen in love with them and were quite vocal about them staying at the studio. we will see.
Sarah great work on the cow (Musk ox) I wouldn't like to get too close to those horns!
Jen C & C's always welcome
Here is where I am today. Number 25 gave me a hard time! Still got work to do on them all and those balls and all the finger prints on the grass!
Sarah, you musk ox is great. I agree with Charlie, it seems peaceful. He appears to be looking over his domain while keeping an eye on things. I like the shadow in the foreground of the painting.
Jen, I can see why your art group is in love with these boys. They are turning out very good.
Bonnie C & C most welcome / appreciated
Oh, Jen, what a fantastic painting of the soccer boys. It's an adorable image to begin with and you are doing a bang up job on them. Their clothes look wonderful and I love their hair. This is turning out to be a masterpiece.
I'm doing well. It took a long while to recover from all the surgeries but I have. Right now I'm recovering from cataract surgery but that's a good thing. Hubby with have a joint replaced on his hand on Friday and then his family will be coming next week for their annual family reunion. Keeping busy.
Sam/Sammy C & C Welcome
Jen, looking good!!!

Nice surprise to see Sam commenting.
feel free to make constructive c/c...no digital alterations please
Jen as everyone has said your painting of the soccer boys is outstanding.
Sarah nice w/c of the ox. Your field and sky is also well done.
Sam nice to hear from you
C&Cs always welcome
Thanks Karen, much appreciated
Karen, Charlie and Bonnie thank you. I had such a great reference to go by I couldn't go wrong!
Sammy, thank you! It is great to see you here again! I am glad you are feeling more yourself again and hope the cataract surgery went well. Good luck and good wishes to your husband with his surgery too. I hope to see more of you soon as we miss you.
Okay trying again to post this.
I am calling this done unless someone sees something. The balls were tricky but it is about the boys rather than the balls! Love this reference thanks Claudia. working on Buttercup now. Animals and me don't always work but we will see.
All those in way of the current round of storms stay safe.
Jen yes I'd call it done. You should be very proud of this. Great job.

The search for an affordable legal education is a major barrier to many students interested in pursuing a public interest career. While there may be a high desire to serve the community, the average law student's debt is enough to turn many away from a promising future in public service, which does not offer as high a salary as other legal careers.
Miami Law students presented the South Florida Bike Coalition with a $2,200 check in honor of Natasha Pettigrew – the law student who was struck and killed by a vehicle while riding her bike in the early morning hours last semester.

For most students, the month of March represents Spring Break in all its glory: Relaxing on sandy beaches, going to crowded parties, or binge eating in front of the television at home. The lure of fun-in-the-sun even prompts some students to check out of school early, leaving town as soon as the pre-Spring Break weekend hits.
Miami Law's Professional Responsibility and Ethics Program (PREP) recently presented an ethics training at the Legal Aid Society of Dade County Bar Association. Under the supervision of Director Jan L. Jacobowitz, third-year law students Robert Zavistoski and Candice K. Stephenson, and second-year law student Charles Muniz, presented a training that addressed hotly debated ethical issues faced by lawyers in an electronic age.

As globalization increases and the world becomes more and more connected, the University of Miami School of Law continues to offer academic opportunities that place students off the beaten path of the traditional legal career.

Detroit Section Meeting
Oil Mist Application on High Duty Mixer Seals
September 18, 2013
Title: Oil Mist applications on High Duty Mixer Seals
Presenter: Bruce McCartney, Managing Director of ProSeal Service Group
Abstract: Failure mode for many High Duty Mixer Seals can often be attributed to the failed stabilizing bearings in the Mixer Seal. Most common failure modes defined were, contamination ingress destroying the grease, Poor Greasing practices due to difficult access, the difficult nature of lubricating slow moving bearings. These bearings in Mixer seals are 99% of the time grease lubricated. This presentation will define how we set out to counter this pervasive problem by upgrading the seal for "Oil Mist" lubrication.
