I plan to slide this cart into a pantry that is 24 inches wide, so I need to confirm that no part of the cart is more than the 23 1/2 inches wide as listed in the description. The top seems wider that the cabinet itself. And I can't tell if the wheels stick out at all. Thanks
This unit was pretty easy to assemble. The drawer is a little wobbly and doesn't always like to close straight but all in all works very well. I got it to free up counter space which it did. So far I'm very happy with this cart....

Ok cart, Bad drawer
The cart was assembled quickly and looks as described. There is no stop for the drawer and it actually seems to be short in the width so it falls out if it shifts to one side or the other. So it is pretty much useless. The rest of the cart is sturdy and holds the microwave nicelyRead More

Pretty Good
I put this together in about an hour or so while watching tv. It was not too difficult. The drawer does not work very well. It falls off the track almost every time we pull it out. It is easy to put back on, but it is just a little annoying. Works for what we needed it for. We keep our microwave on top to free up counter space.Read More
Attractive cart
This cart is nice looking and a good place to store extra stuff in my small kitchen. I keep my Kitchen Aid mixer on top and recipe box and several cook books on the shelf. It took my husband just a little more than 1 1/2 hours to assemble. There was one screw cover that he couldn't inserted but it is against a cupboard and doesn't show. The drawer sticks about every other time I close. I did soap the track but still not so great. I store all my smaller sharp knives in the drawer. I did line the drawer and placed some dividers inside. The top is not an actual cutting board just looks like one. Overall I really like it with my white cupboards.Read More
Just right!
I have had this item for several months. I purchased it to hold a microwave and I needed extra storage space. My husband had no problem putting it together. I was out of town when it arrived and he called excited telling me how nice it was, and attached a photo. He was amazed at the quality without a much higher price. We had been out looking for something like this for a while, therfore he was well aware of prices. It is well made, very sturdy, and looks nice. The butcher box top is exactly that, solid wood. The color is antique white. I highly recommend this.Read More
Nice in any kitchen
This kitchen trolley was easy to put together by myself. Quality is good, directions were (pictures only) easy to follow. The piece is holding our heavy microwave and can still roll around on the casters easily. The size was exactly as stated. The color is a very slight off white - not a pure cool white. The butcher block top is just laminate not an actual butcher block - though under a microwave it looks nice. The bottom storage section is large enough to store a 6 pack of paper towels and the doors have a magnetic closure. Overall very happy with this purchase.Read More
Kitchen storage trolley
Hi purchsed this for my mother and it's a good little cabinet, perfect for her microwave. Sides are a bit flimsy but it works for her. Fairly easy to put together, just takes a bit of time. I would buy another one if needed for myself or a giftRead More
Nice product
The wheels are nice for easy move. The wood parts of the cart is constructed of plywood - not very durable stuff but it's holding up well so far. The handles however scratch pretty easily on the wood surfaces so be careful while assembling! Trolley was sturdy after proper assembling.For what we needed it for - it did the job.Read More
Looks very nice.............
A bit more complicated to put together and having a power screwdriver will certainly speed things up rather than relying on the allen wrench provided. Remember to slide in the base of the drawer before you put on the front piece. bottom shelf, inside cabinet, won't hold real heavy itmes. Overall, very pleased with this nice looking trolley.Read More
This cabinet is lovely. Matched my kitchen beautifully. The wheels lock. Put my micro on top. My son was able to put it together very quickly.Read More

Saturday, September 21, 2013
There was certainly no shortage of tremendous plays turned in by both sides on Friday night at Stackley Field.
Stratford quarterback Jacob Park threw for 346 yards and connected on four touchdown passes to power the Knights to a 42-27 victory over Ashley Ridge.
Park's touchdown tosses covered 88 and 80 yards to Thad Thompson and 64 and 17 to Tyree Scroggins as he torched the winless Foxes.
Jordan Johnson added 101 yards rushing and scored on runs of 6 and 3 yards for the Knights. Thompson finished with three catches for 178 yards while Scroggins made four grabs for 98 yards as Stratford improved to 4-0.
Ashley Ridge fell to 0-4.
Knights coach Ray Stackley praised Ashley Ridge for its effort but was concerned with his own team's mental approach heading into the game.
"I'm really upset with them a little bit," Stackley said of his players. "We've talked about respecting your opponent and valuing your opponent and doing what you do best and not worrying about team's records."
And Ashley Ridge was in it until the end.
The game got interesting, especially in the second half.
Ashley Ridge had some big-time plays itself, mostly from dazzling return man Donovan Thompson. Thompson returned a kickoff 98 yards and a punt return 80 yards, both for scores when Stratford was up by 21 points.
Thompson's punt return cut Ashley Ridge's deficit to 35-21 with 10:11 left in the game and the Foxes pulled within one possession when Chandler Avenel hooked up with Sean White on a 76-yard score with 7:32 left.
A blocked extra point left Stratford clinging to a 35-27 lead. Avenel finished with 149 yards.
Ashley Ridge got the ball back at its own 26 with 4:12 remaining but Stratford linebacker Menre Rice got through to jar the ball loose from Avenel and teammate T.J. Deveaux returned it to the Foxes 4.
Two plays later, Johnson's second touchdown run iced it with 2:25 left. Kicker Tyler Tekac was perfect on six extra points.
"We fought back and I'm proud of the guys for that," Ashley Ridge coach Kenny Walker said. "We've got something to build on for the second half of the season… If we play like we did tonight, we're going to win some ballgames down the road."
Ashley Ridge's other touchdown was a 14-yard run by Tyler Garland early in the second quarter after a punt hit a Stratford player.
"I said (to the players) if you're going to beat the good teams you want to beat you can't play down to your opponent," Stackley said. "You can't give up three specials teams touchdowns to anybody. They turned the momentum around two or three times on us."
Taylor Morrison had two interceptions for the Knights and Michael Simmons blocked a punt.
Stratford plays Colleton County on Friday, while Ashley Ridge takes on Cane Bay.

+ StreetMaps
The Japanese blogging world is abuzz this morning with the addition of street maps for that country. Here is an example from the city of Osaka, or the Ginza prefecture in Tokyo. Right now you can search for English placenames (eg - search: "Osaka, Japan" or "Ginza, Tokyo, Japan") and it will take you to that location but it doesn't appear that full Japanese addresses are working. (I tried the head office for Nissan, and it was a no-go).
Flickr user Earthhopper does point out something interesting about Google street maps for Japan and sends out a caution to those folks looking to use the Google Maps API for Japan:
All of Japan's available road maps are still drawn based "Tokyo Datum", which is cancelled in 2001 by Gov to follow WGS84 Datum. Google Map is based on WGS84.
So to use Zenrin's Japan road map in Google Map service, Google slightly moved their map for the area of 30-50N and 115-152E to South East for about 400m. It's still virtual Datum as it was nothing more than simple translation - the Earth is a sphere...
So if you use WGS84 in Google Maps API, false japanDatumHack.
See source code sample at one of Japanese expert's website:
Google should address on this issue sooner.
API is fine, but you can't control maps.google.com and Google's simple translation should only be a temporary solution for some time, as the moved area includes North and South Korea, and some part of China. I don't know how they will change this situation in near future, but the only final solution is Japanese map vendors should provide WGS84 based road map. I don't know when it's gonna be.
He has created an annotated example of this explanation here. Read the full Flickr discussion about the introduction of Japan street maps on Google Maps here.
We will no doubt start to see Google Maps mashups coming using Japan locations and data in no time! If anyone understand how to read Japanese and can help to bring these to our attention, please post a comment with the mashup's URL and a short description of what the mashup is doing! Thanks!

LAS CRUCES, N.M. (Nov. 13)-The New Mexico State swimming and diving team returns to competition at the UH Phill Hansel Invitational, Thursday, Nov. 15 to Saturday, Nov. 17 in Houston, Texas.
"Competing at this year's Phil Hansel invite is going to be a great experience for our group," head coach Rick Pratt said. "With four top ranked programs attending, the level of competition compared to last year will be greater and that will give us some challenges we need. I am very happy with the progress we have been making at practice this past month, and it will be good to let them come up for air so to speak and post some good mid-season performances. With finals and the holidays around the corner, things are really busy. It will be great to get out there and have some fun."
The three-day meet has 11 women's teams including Air Force, Arkansas, Fresno State, Houston, Idaho, NM State, LSU, SMU, Texas A&M, Tulane and Wyoming. The Aggies are competing in the invitational for the second consecutive season. Last year, NM State finished in third place in the team standings with 493 points.

Dana White fearful that increased drug testing would result in widespread positive marijuana tests - Yahoo! Sports
Dana White said Thursday that if he were to implement year-round, random drug testing of his approximately 475 contracted fighters, more than 80 percent of them might wind up being suspended.
The drug he's concerned about, though, is not what you might think.
The outspoken UFC president reiterated his long-held position that drug testing by state athletic commissions is sufficient to police the sport. When pressed if he's considering a random, year-round drug screening process to try to eradicate performance-enhancing drugs from the UFC, White said he is not certain. He said it is something he's never considered previously.
Then, he conceded he's worried about a slew of positive tests if he did adopt such a regimen.
"Forget about PEDs," White said. "If we get into this system that we're talking about where we would randomly test these guys, do you know how many guys would probably test positive for marijuana? It would be probably off the charts.
"If you randomly test them and then [the results] came out, you'd get the exact same suspension [for using marijuana] as you do for using PEDs."The length of the penalty for using marijuana disturbs White.
"I do not think the penalty should be the same for taking marijuana as it is for [using] performance-enhancing drugs," he said.
He's right on that point, though the the World Anti-Doping Agency's 2012 prohibited list covers that issue well. Marijuana usage is prohibited by WADA in-competition. It is not considered a violation for athletes following the WADA code if they test positive when they are not competing.

We usually use 5-6 machines each day, averaging 8+ hours everyday. These grinders are unstoppable. Nothing else we have tried even comes close to holding up like the Metabo. Also, most shrouds tend to sag and fall apart quickly, however, these do not. I don't know what they are made out of, but they are durable.

Comments about 7 in. Concrete Preparation Kit:
The grinder is great. However the dust shroud will not accommodate regular 7" grinding cups. This product has been a complete waste of my time. Metabo cannot give me an example of a cup that will work with this shroud and I cannot find one that is tall enough to protrude past the bottom of the shroud. Do not buy this system!!!!!!!!!! Other dustless shrouds may work, but the one made by Metabo sold with this kit does not!!!!!!!

McGinnis: Silenced Snake: Gaming's greatest badass getting a new voiceWritten by Jeff McGinnis | | firstname.lastname@example.com
In movies and on television, we have a tendency to lionize the actors who embody a character and forget about all those who work with them to bring that role to life. Sure, the performer is the most visible participant in the creation of a persona, but what about the writer who provides the words? The editor who chooses which takes to use? The cinematographer who lights the set and perfects camera angles? The director who supervises the whole production?
In the world of video games, the creation of a character involves even more disparate elements. The myriad programmers, writers, technicians and more who are involved in the process is enough to make your head spin.
In the early days, a gaming icon like Mario or Link didn't even have a voice, let alone an actor to provide performance input. Even today, when full motion capture gives game creators the chance to utilize whole performances, it is hard to argue that an actor is more than one cog in the vast machine that gives a character life.
I say all this, but in the end, that doesn't change the fact that to a generation of American gaming fans, David Hayter is Snake.
Though the character had been introduced in the original "Metal Gear" a decade prior, it wasn't until the arrival of "Metal Gear Solid" in 1998 that its lead, a sneaky soldier named Solid Snake, began to stake his claim as one of the most iconic figures in gaming. An old war horse dragged back into battle, fighting to save the world from terrorists with nuclear weapons, Snake's badass heroism combined with world-weary cynicism made him identifiable and sympathetic, the kind of hero you wanted to play as.
At the center of it all was voice actor David Hayter. Though the role was created and written by director Hideo Kojima, and given voice in the original Japanese by Akio ?tsuka, Hayter's gravelly voiced delivery and wry humor made his portrayal of Snake unforgettable to American fans. It became unthinkable to imagine the role played by anyone else stateside.
Hayter became an indispensable part of the "Metal Gear" package. He was there for the inevitable sequel. He played Snake's sort-of father (long story) Naked Snake in "Metal Gear Solid 3." When Snake himself returned, aged and dying, in "Metal Gear Solid 4," Hayter was there to voice him. Even in two portable games focused on Naked Snake, Hayter gave the character life.
So when rumors began to circulate about a "Metal Gear Solid V," seemingly focused on Naked Snake once again, it was presumed by all that Hayter would be returning to the franchise. The fact that the actor himself was mum on the subject on Twitter was virtually confirmation, right?
Wrong. When Kojima officially confirmed that the previously announced "The Phantom Pain" and "Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes" collectively made up "Metal Gear Solid V," a major part of the puzzle was missing: Whoever was voicing Snake, it wasn't Hayter.
Now, if this new installment was seen as a reboot of the franchise, or if the character had aged to the point where Hayter was no longer appropriate, that would be one thing. But the game, by all indications, takes place in the same continuity as before — a continuity where Hayter has always voiced the role.
In an interview with GameTrailers.com, Kojima tried to explain the decision: "What we're trying to accomplish here is to re-create the Metal Gear Series. It's a new type of Metal Gear game, and we want to have this reflected in the voice actor as well."
All well and good, perhaps, but with word that ?tsuka apparently would be returning for "Metal Gear Solid V" — well, the statement that the series is simply moving on doesn't fly.
It's clear from his statements that Hayter — who apparently was never even asked to reprise the role — is as disappointed as anyone.
"Well look, At least I had a good run," he wrote on Twitter, before jokingly adding, "I just caught myself stealthily stalking the mailman. Just out of habit…"
Fans have proceeded to express displeasure as well, voicing their support and starting petitions in an effort to get Hayter reinstated as Snake.
It's probably too little, too late, though. The game is way too far into its production process to change now. With some of the names rumored to be Snake's new voice (the name Kiefer Sutherland being heavily mentioned), it may also be prohibitively expensive.
And it's a shame. Given the many fond memories that fans have of Kojima and Hayter's collective work — and the work of thousands of other artists who gave Snake life — it would have meant a lot to see it all come together again. And with Kojima claiming this will be his final "MGS" game (and we swear he means it this time), it would have been fitting for Hayter's iconic performance to have a chance to ride into the sunset, as well.

"What you get on the EP is an absolutely brilliant mix of styles there's black metal riffage, nods to Celtic Frost and early Bathory loads of great punk and hardcore riffs and hooks by the bucket load however they are a confusing bunch whilst there are elements of Black Flag in the packaging and in part of their sound they also have some references to crust as well but it's not until the final song "Hell On Heels aka Disfuck" which is a parody/tribute of "Hell On Earth" by Discharge that there's any crust type stuff to be had on here, for example the track "Starchild" wavers from great mid-paced punk hardcore with some riffs straight out of the 80's US HC manual but then descends into a tortured and discordant slow part which you'd be more likely to find on a black metal record out of Norway circa late 80's! Whilst this all may sound like a total mess it actually works amazingly well and this band have an utterly unique sound the like of which i have never really heard elsewhere..."

Accomplish beautiful cuffs and collars without hand stitching, achieve accurate and even topstitching and learn when and where to use proper interfacing. Skip the basting and use few to no pins. No kidding. In the words of Janet, "If you like to sew now, when you get done with this class you're going to love to sew."
Janet introduces herself and the jacket you'll make using the pattern included with your class. Learn about your fabric options, choosing topstitching thread and interfacing, and the best tools to use.
Janet demonstrates her techniques for marking, cutting out and interfacing your pattern pieces. You'll learn how industrial patterns' seam allowances and construction order are designed to maximize efficiency of time and movement.
You don't need pins to sew! Janet shows you the super-efficient technique that allows you to feed fabric through your machine without pinning first. She'll also explain how to set up your sewing station for maximum ergonomic comfort as you begin to construct the jacket project.
In addition to reinforcing seams, topstitching adds a professional finish to your jacket design. Work with Janet as you topstitch sleeves, vents and pockets and finish the facings.
Don't let welt pockets intimidate you. Janet walks you through the process of installing them. You also finish the shoulder seams of the jacket.
Finish the yoke, sleeves and pockets along with Janet's expert tips. Did you know you can insert sleeves without pins? It might sound scary but once you see it, it makes sense!
Learn the steps for creating crisp cuffs and a collar on your coat, including the "burrito technique."
Your jacket will have a polished look once you finish the facings, add final topstitching and create buttonholes.
"I can't say enough about this class. I learned so many new tricks and techniques. Janet is a marvelous instructor and the camerawork was spot-on when I needed to stop to analyze the process. I can see using these tricks on future projects.
Thank you Janet and Craftsy, for this wonderful class."

Comments about Sabre Cuillere a Café Old-Fashioned Teaspoon, Orange:
Got this spoon to go with my orange tazo mug. Color is very eye-catching and quality is good. Was debating between this orange and the sparkling gold and decided to be conservative and go with this orange... very happy with how this turned out, maybe will purchase the gold one soon.
Comments about Sabre Cuillere a Café Old-Fashioned Teaspoon, Orange:
This spoon is a nice bright orange-red with a sort of metallic or mother of pearl finish. About the product: The spoons are made in Italy; they are made of a firm yet slightly bendable acrylic. The acrylic holds OK in a cup of coffee/tea but I wouldn't put it into anything hotter or put it through the dishwasher.

NDP Leadership Race: Farnworth drops out, endorses John Horgan
VICTORIA – The B.C. NDP caucus lined up behind leadership contender John Horgan Tuesday, including his only rival for the job, Mike Farnworth.
"Yes, today marks the end of my campaign for B.C. NDP leader," Farnworth said at a news conference in Victoria Tuesday. "But more importantly, it begins our campaign to elect a B.C. NDP government in 2017, with John Horgan as premier."
Horgan thanked Farnworth for "putting aside his leadership campaign to create a unity candidate, a unity committee, to go forward and beat the Liberals in 2017."
Horgan said he will continue to campaign for the leadership until May 1, the deadline for nominations to lead the party. If that deadline passes with no new candidates, Horgan expects to be acclaimed.
Farnworth's campaign has suffered two setbacks in recent days, the latest being Horgan's increased lead in endorsements. Horgan's latest supporters are party members around Farnworth's Port Coquitlam home turf, including Coquitlam-Maillardville MLA Selina Robinson, NDP MP Fin Donnelly and former area MLAs Dawn Black and Joe Trasolini.
Farnworth's only public endorsers from the B.C. NDP caucus were Saanich South MLA Lana Popham and Stikine MLA Doug Donaldson, while Horgan had 15 MLAs publicly supporting him.
Farnworth also bore the brunt of former premier Mike Harcourt's decision last week to quit the NDP. Harcourt endorsed Farnworth in the 2011 NDP leadership where Farnworth finished second to Adrian Dix.
Another key endorsement for Horgan came from the B.C. executive of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, which represents 85,000 municipal workers in the province.The board led by CUPE B.C. president Mark Hancock, formerly president of the Port Coquitlam local, was among those calling for Horgan to run.
After Dix announced he would step down this fall, Horgan initially said he would not seek the leadership, making way for younger contenders. But those contenders, including new MLAs elected in 2013, ruled themselves out one after another.
The party has a deadline of May 1 for candidates to be nominated for the leadership, which includes payment of $25,000 to go towards staging of leadership debates around the province. Candidates have until June 26 to sign up new party members, with a province-wide vote scheduled to be completed Sept. 28.
Both the B.C. NDP and B.C. Liberals finished 2013 in debt after the election last May. The B.C. Liberals raised $14 million and ended the year $2.2 million in debt, while the B.C. NDP raised $11.6 million and had a $3 million debt.

what is the diference between a heat pump and your standard condenser?
Expansion device, reversing valve, defrost control
Karst means cave. So, I search for caves.

Add to that accumulator, fan relay, defrost relay, defrost sensors, high pressure safety switch...
...sorry, got carried away.
Electricity makes refrigeration happen.
Refrigeration makes the HVAC psychrometric process happen.
HVAC pyschrometrics is what makes indoor human comfort happen...IF the ducts AND the building envelope cooperate.
A building is NOT beautiful unless it is also comfortable.
I was going to add accumulator but couldn't spell it.
The 10 seer Rheem's do not have the other stuff anymore. All the controls are on the board and they deleted the high pressure saftey on some models.

i meant to ask what are the different processes of a heat pump compared to a standard cooling system?
Nothing really, the only thing your doing is reversing the refer flow. The warm air that an a/c blows out in the summer is reversed and blows inside. And because the outside temp is cold you need to add defrost control so the unit doesn't become a solid block of ice.
This is what I tell HO that ask. It is a very simple explanation and covers most of the bases.
And if they ask I tell them the unit is picking up heat from the outdoor air and moving it inside the house, and the reverse is true in the summer.
A heat pump will change the direction of the refrigerant flow. That way insted of taking heat from your house and transferring it outside "like a staight a/c", it will absorb heat from the outdoor air and distribute it into your home.
What will your legacy be ??
Well I think if you look at the basic concept of airconditioning being "to remove heat from a place where it is unwanted and rejecting it to a place where it is not objectionable" can be reversed when addressing a heat pump to sat remove heat from a place where it is not objectionable and rejecting to a place where it is wanted.
Bottom line is an air conditioner doesnt produce cool, it moves heat from the evaporator to the condenser. A heat pump moves heat fromm the evaporator to the condenser also, it just switches which coil fills what role.
You also have to understand that there is no such thing as cold, only heat or a lack there of. Since the total absence of heat is absolute zero (not 0*F or 0*C). Anything above it contains heat, the HP or A/C simply moves it.

after 7 am Sunday it was full again because I had friends that tried to transfer but couldnt (until the following weekend)

I have to try it again, I played during headstart, and I found it very bland and boring, I have never been a big quest person, and it seems like they are shoved down your throat and its like a all quest, all the time thing...So hopefully just the overcrowding of headstart hurt the emersion or feeling of the game.
PRobably give it another go soon.

And there is no proof of anything since data is so scarce.
But one thing is obvious - if a game isn't popular it will probably not register in XFire.
Again if a game flops it is obvious it will register in XFire.
But a game losing players in XFire doesn't have to relate with the game - I gave the example of WoW it lost around 66% of its played hours since last year. It lost half the players since september.
We will see if that correlates.

Originally posted by Nadia
Nadia is correct and Azurrei is wrong. It's clearly based on who is logged in, not on the number of accounts tied to the given server. This is why people looking to transfer to a different server almost always have to wait until off peak hours to do the transfer. (With a non-sub game, this couldn't really be done any other way, as there is no subscription status by which to determine whether an account is active or dormant).
It's bad enough to post inaccuracies, worse to then claim that something is "established" when it clearly is not.
BTW, some might question how a server can be full, based on active players, even outside of prime time, when clearly the number of players on at that time is lower than during prime time. You can't transfer to a server while it's full, but once you are established on your server, you can always log in to that server. During peak prime hours, if capacity is exceeded in a zone, the excess goes to an overflow server. So, yes, you can be full before peak and still be full during peak with twice as many logged in players.
Apparently, the server "caps" are set to minimize the reliance on overflows during the most active hors of the week, while also being mindful of off peak player experience. IMO, they have managed this very well, resisting the urge to add new servers as the playerbase expands, while trying to minimize the amount of overflow server use during peak play times.

Umm... for most servers, the middle of the night is the only time you can transfer there. See my previous post for the explaination as to why a server can be "full" outside of prime time, while still being able to accomodate all players associated with that server during prime time.

I have nevver run XFire, because I don't want any performnce drain while playing games that tax my system, I have no use for the XFire communications tools and I have no need to display my play habits to the masses. I don't personally know anyone that uses XFire and when the conversation comes up, most give similar reasons for not using it.
If XFire is under-representative of players who wish to maximize performance, have no use for XFire's communication tools and have no desire to display their game play habits to the world, then it's no longer a representative population of gamers.
Something like XFire gains more value if someone games with other people that also use XFire, so there is bound to be sampling bias related to which groups of players tend to gravitate towards and recommend XFire for others. Some non-MMO gaming site forums are repleat with XFire forum sigs, while other sites have few, if any X-Fire sigs in evidence. I have never seen anything but a sparse display of X-Fire sigs on any MMO based gamer forum.
Any survey with self selected participants is valueless at showing anything other than the opinions or habits of that group of people. X-Fire is a self selected group of people and shows nothing other than the habits/trends of X-fire users.

OTOH you only have your opninion that you cannot prove why its wrong. Your opinion got invalidated though by mentioning "i dont use XFire or my friends dont use it" because its irrelevant.
There are things you can say with certanity by looking at XFire graphs, and then there are things you cant (but many people do for their own purpose).

Connor, when you see a server FULL means that the people who've chosen that server as theirs, or players who have moved to that particular server, have reached the cap, independently of where did they create their accounts.

Twice the population? Three times? +20%?
For example, Funcom said they had a 400% increase with b2p and XFire only registered a 300% increase. Might not seem much but that is 33% difference - and TSW prompts XFire instalation (with the default option being "install XFire", which mean one needs to remove the tick)

But XFire did show large spike and you could say just by looking at XFire graph that at that point in time there was some major event without even knowing it was going B2P, and its proof that XFire actually shows general trends for a game and that it does represent valid sample (for that purpose).
And thats a point for those that want to dismiss XFire trends and say its somehow invalid, its pretty certain that if XFire shows drop its losing players and vice versa, you cannot say "it lost 30%" or "it lost 40%".

But the XFire trends don't preceed in game trends.

But it can be used to tell people that claim different, if game as obviously losing/gaining players and they disbelief it you can use XFire graphs to back up your claim.
Concretely for SWTOR population didnt settle till september/october. And in their Q report they reported it settled. But it settled on much lower value than their last reported numbers, and you can quite certanly claim that based on XFire graphs. Yet people said "Theres no proof" etc and XFire thread was closed by then and XFire discussions banned from forums.
Same with GW2, XFire graphs settled and now they officialy confiremd it settled some time ago (and even got growth in last month or so).
Just to proove all those that were saying it was still "losing players at rapid rate", XFire was right and they were wrong (once again), just like with SWTOR before when people claim its not losing players and XFire was right and they were wrong, and just like many games before it, its proven that it does show accurate trends.
People are still talking about Xfire? Sheesh. If you think Xfire is a valid tool to estimate total populations, then you don't understand statistical bias or random samples.
Furthermore, the first big test of GW2 will obviously be the expansion. Retention of players until then is largely irrelevant due to the B2P model. Although my server is always packed with queues for WvW and people looking for dungeons *shrug*.

When people say "its losing players" and XFIre shows otherwise then XFire is right and they are wrong. When people say "its not losing players" and XFire shows otherwise XFire is right and they are wrong.
And it has been proven in practice, practice beats theory. You can theorise how much you want about it being "wrong" but its proven right every single time.
So yah, XFire is good to discuss.

GW2 is pretty kid-friendly, due to its ease of use, general tone, and inexpense of having no sub. I think more parents have bought copes for their children, which probably has helped keep sales up.

The departure of a foster child from your home is often a difficult time. Because this can be a time of great difficulty and one of emotional upheaval, it is important to prepare beforehand when it comes to the transition of your foster child from your home into another. From the very first day you bring a foster child into your home, it is critical to remember that he will very likely not be with you forever. There will come a time when he will move to another home; whether it is reunification with his parents, his family members, another foster home or adoption. Therefore, planning for his departure begins when he first arrives.
One of the ways you can prepare is by organizing a lifebook for your foster child. This book can be a wonderful healing tool for your foster child as he moves to a new home. For some children, a lifebook is the only reminder they may have of previous houses and families they once called home. Essentially, a lifebook is a scrapbook of your foster child's life, and is something he can take with him to his new home, and throughout his life. Sadly, when many foster children are placed into a foster home, much of their early life story is lost, and can never be retraced. A lifebook can not only help the child remember important aspects of his past, it can also bring to light memories that fade away when a child grows older.
When designing a lifebook for your foster child, make sure you include him in creating the book. Do your best to trace his early life; ask your caseworker for information, try to retrieve early pictures and information from birth parents and family members, if possible. Add pictures of the birth family, when possible, as well as any other foster parents he might have had. Include pictures of his friends and other important people in his life. Be sure to identify each person in the pictures. If you have any certificates of any kind that he might have earned or received, include these also. Letters from important people in his life would also be a great addition to his lifebook. Also, be sure to include any medical history you can locate. You may need help from his caseworker, along with his birth family, if possible. Also, any family history you can add would be very beneficial to him, both now and later on in life. This might include military service, education and accomplishments. Don't forget to add information about his own interests and hobbies, with plenty of pictures of him engaged in activities. Finally, leave several blank pages in the back of his lifebook, so he can add pictures, information and even his personal thoughts later on as he grows, or perhaps even in his next foster home.
A lifebook helps a foster child recognize his or her individual worth, something that is so very important for each child in foster care. For many foster children, placement into foster care is a traumatic experience. Lifebooks can be a testament to their strength and their ability to overcome whatever challenges they may face while in care.

Some people make such an impact on their communities that their work will live on long after they are gone. Such is the case with Inez Donley, who died Sunday at the age of 97, after dedicating nearly 70 years to volunteer work in the Lehigh Valley.
Inez and her husband, Edward Donley, were major supporters of KidsPeace, donating more than $1.47 million to our organization to help children and teenagers with behavioral and mental health challenges. Their names grace buildings on our campuses, a testament to their continued support of our work. Their historic gift of $1 million was used to create the Donley Therapeutic Education Center on our Orchard Hills Campus in Orefield, Pa., a place where children learn, play and heal.
For years, the Donleys supported the KidsPeace Children's Fund and KidsPeace Auxiliary. Inez Donley's family has encouraged people to donate to KidsPeace in her name.
Inez, who served on the KidsPeace Board of Directors for 15 years, and also suggested other people who would be positive additions to the board, remained an honorary member until her death. Mary Jane Willis, chair of the Board of Directors, says the KidsPeace community has lost a special champion.
"Inez Donley dedicated her life to supporting programs to benefit children and education," Willis says. "Her steadfast commitment to KidsPeace has given countless children and their families the help they needed to begin down a path to healing."
Edward Donley, former CEO of Air Products, met his wife in 1943 when she began working as his secretary when the company was still located in Tennessee. They later followed the business to the Lehigh Valley, where they raised three children, and Inez became well known for her volunteer efforts in the Allentown area. Many of the major institutions in the Lehigh Valley were recipients of the Donleys' goodwill – Lehigh Carbon Community College, Lehigh Valley Health Network, Cedar Crest College, the Allentown Library.
After Edward Donley retired from Air Products in 1986, he and Inez established the Donley Foundation, which issued scholarships and grants to educational programs and libraries. In 2009, KidsPeace created the Donley Society to honor our strongest annual financial supporters.
William R. Isemann, president and CEO of KidsPeace, expresses gratitude for the years of service and support from Inez Donley.
"The KidsPeace community offers our sincere condolences to the Donley family as they mourn the loss of this phenomenal woman," Isemann says. "Her philanthropy and dedication to the children and families we serve has made an indelible impact. Her heartfelt commitment is an inspiration to the entire Lehigh Valley community."

On Thursday, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee held a hearing at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C. to discuss how to improve access to mental health care insurance benefits. The meeting was in response to the recent Sandy Hook Elementary School shootings, focusing on how the United States could improve the handling of psychological problems that may lead to violence.
Pamela Hyde, the administrator of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), noted at the hearing that "most people who are violent do not have a mental disorder, and most people with a mental disorder are not violent." She also stated that "demographic variables such as age, gender and socioeconomic status are more reliable predictors of violence than mental illness," according the committee website. "These facts are important, because misconceptions about mental illness can cause discrimination," she said.
According to Hyde, patients and their families now get 69 percent of the cash used to pay for mental health care from state and federal government programs, 12 percent from their own personal resources, and 27 percent from private insurance plans. One of the major laws governing private health insurance benefits for mental health care, the Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act of 2008 (MHPAEA), affects insured and self-insured group health benefits. It does not require an employer to offer coverage for mental health or substance abuse disorders. The rules state that if an employer with 50 or more employees does offer mental health or substance abuse benefits, then the financial requirements and treatment limits for the behavioral health benefits can be no more restrictive than the typical requirements for benefits for other types of disorders.
Another law, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act of 2010 (PPACA), is set to require all non-grandfathered individual and small group plans to offer an "essential health benefits" (EHB) package that includes coverage for mental health and substance abuse disorder services starting Oct. 1. Michael Hogan, a former New York state mental health office commissioner and the chairman of the President's New Freedom Commission on Mental Health, said improving the mental health system "must begin with a realization that we have begun to take big steps away from an approach that was both separate and unequal." The country also needs better programs to help people who are showing signs of having psychotic disorders find and stay on effective medications, and get and keep jobs, Hogan said.
In December 2012, Russia closed their doors to all U.S. adoptions. That leaves the U.S at an all-time low for adoption rates, plummeting to a 20-year low after peaking at nearly 23,000 in 2004 and falling to 9,319 in 2011, according to the state department.
Russia was among the top three foreign countries to serve as the source of children to be adopted by Americans. Declines in adoptions from China, Ethiopia and South Korea are prompting some parents to look homeward. The number of U.S. infant adoptions (about 90,000 in 1971) fell from 22,291 in 2002 to 18,078 in 2007, according to the most recent five-year tally from the private National Council for Adoption. But the group's president, Chuck Johnson, says the number has remained fairly stable since 2007, citing efforts to promote adoption.
Today there are fewer children in foster care because more are reunited with birth parents or adopted by relatives and foster parents. The number waiting to be adopted fell from 130,637 in 2003 to 104,236 in 2011, according to the Children's Bureau. In an effort to help, KidsPeace continues to support their communities and families by helping to provide foster care to kids that need loving, deserving and caring homes.
With ongoing help from our community and society, we can continue to have a positive impact on our children and continue to make a difference in their lives. With a little bit of love comes an even bigger smile.
The Home Depot store in Whitehall Township, Pa., surprised KidsPeace with a $1,000 donation of hand sanitizer on Monday. Employee Cathy Rabenold delivered the product to KidsPeace Director of Development Patrick Slattery. The sanitizer will be used throughout our residential and hospital programs. Thank you to store Manager Rickey George and the entire Home Depot team for thinking of our children and staff this flu season.

The first impression you create with your foster child is often vitally important to how the next few days and weeks will transpire. This will probably not be the sweet little child who rushes into your waiting arms, laughing delightfully, as you might imagine. It is highly likely that your foster child will be scared and frightened, full of anxiety. He may have left his family moments ago, and is now told that you are his family, for the time being. Without a doubt, he is full of questions, as emotions swirl within him. Although it is impossible to predict how he will react when he first meets you, it is important that you approach this time with caution and care.
When the caseworker pulls into your driveway, go out to the car and welcome the caseworker and child, introducing yourself immediately, with a warm smile and soft voice. Inform your foster child who you are and the role you will now play in his life. He may very well not understand the foster care system, or what foster parents do. Do not insist that your new child call you mom or dad. Allow your foster child to call you by your first names, if you feel comfortable with this, or by whatever name he feels comfortable in calling you. As the child may be scared, do not insist that he react to you right away. This is a time of extreme difficulty, and your foster child may be in a state of shock. As you help him inside with his possessions, take him by the hand, if he is a little one, or place a soft hand upon his shoulder, if he is a teenager. Actions like these can be reassuring that all will be okay, that he is in a safe and caring home. Do not insist upon hugging, as he may be too embarrassed or hurt to do so.
Show him where he will sleep, and where his clothes will be kept. Have a nightlight already on in the room, if the room is dark. Ask if he is hungry, and offer him some food. If he doesn't want any food, do not insist upon it. He will eat when he is ready and hungry.
You will have to sign some paperwork with your caseworker, as well as go over any last minute news, details and information. If possible, do this away from the child, as this can be especially embarrassing and damaging to your new child. This is a good time for your foster child to eat, or be alone in his new room. If you have children of your own, it may also be a good time for them to engage in some sort of play with their new foster brother. Your foster child will likely be overwhelmed with the situation, so it is important that you make sure your home is as peaceful and quiet as possible. Allow your foster child to have some personal space and alone time. If it is late at night, do not insist that he go to bed immediately. After all, he is probably not only needing some time to reflect on the day's events, sleep may be difficult to come by, as he is in a strange bed, in a strange home. Sadly, it is not uncommon for newly placed foster children to cry themselves to sleep during the first few nights. Do not be surprised if this happens. He may be scared and lonely. Let him know that you understand how difficult it is for him, and that his tears are normal and all right. Read to him a bedtime story each night; place a nightlight not only in his room, but in the nearby bathroom, as well. Let him know that he can get up in the night and use the bathroom whenever he needs to.

We serve many children at KidsPeace, and sometimes we're fortunate enough to learn what they are up to once they leave our care.
In the case of Christopher Pelletieri, who was adopted by Christine and Peter Pelletieri from the Kingston FCCP office in 2009, it is heartwarming news. Pelletieri was recognized by The Saugerties Community Youth Awards Committee for good deeds and actions.
Ms. Fraske, one of his former teachers at Mount Marion Elementary School, nominated him, saying his "courage and bravery has touch my heart." She adds that "after having a rough, challenging start in life, he has incredibly managed to grow strong emotionally, socially and academically over the past three years."
The award is recognized and supported by the town and village of Saugerties, N.Y., the Saugerties Central School District, the Saugerties Boys and Girls Club and Family of Woodstock, a local social services agency.
Congratulations to Pelletieri! If you have a positive story you would like to share about any other former KidsPeace clients, please email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Shooter released without bailSeptember 17,2013Charges denied
in gun incident
A Danby man was released into the custody of his father Monday after he was arraigned on charges related to an event Saturday in which he allegedly fired three shots into the tailgate of a pickup within a foot of his stepfather.
Judge Theresa DiMauro allowed David L. Hall, 27, to be released without bail after pleading innocent on charges of first-degree aggravated domestic assault with a weapon, possession of stolen property, and unlawful mischief.
Deputy States Attorney Rosemary Kennedy argued that Hall, who was held in the Rutland jail on $25,000 bail over the weekend, should have some form of bail imposed.
Hes facing a serious felony, Kennedy said.
DiMauro released him with a list of conditions including a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew.
Prosecutors say Hall is accused of showing up at his stepfather and mothers home, and after getting into a fight with his stepfather, Trevor Davenport, fired three shots into the tailgate of a pickup less than one foot away from the victim.
Davenport told officers he snatched the rifle from Hall and broke it against a pillar and then threw Hall to the ground twice before telling him to leave the property.MORE IN This Just InThe family of a Connecticut man who was killed in a car accident on Route 4 last Friday night is...

PFC Roger Medlock, 63, of Summerville has been in law enforcement for 34 years and 10 months.
In fact he has retired from law enforcement and come back.
"I retired last July and came back as a rehire," he says.
Fourteen of those years (and 10 months) have been with Summerville Police Department.
He started his career in Goose Creek in 1976.
"My Dad was a DCSO deputy."
So Medlock, a Summerville High School graduate, went to DCSO in '77 as a full time deputy and worked his way up to captain over a 12-year period.
He then went to the City of Hannahan for four years before coming to Summerville where he worked first patrol and then traffic.
He is a familiar face on his motorcycle. "I certified on a motorcycle in 2003, he says.
He also is in the Emergency Services Unit (ESU) under Lt. Peterson.
He says he has accomplished most of his professional goals but, if he had to leave SPD, he would love to do air to ground rescue on a helicopter.
He and his wife Sonya, who is a loss prevention specialist with Rite Aid, are the parents of Brett Medlock who is with Summerville Fire Department.
They are both motorcycle enthusiasts and enjoy riding their bikes.
He also enjoys outdoor sports, water skiing and horseback riding.
"I can't cook," he says.
He enjoys action movies and used to play the drums when he was a kid.
He says his worst experience is "kinda not knowing if you'll go home when you are on a serious call…like a domestic violence or a big fight with knives and guns."
His advice to those coming into law enforcement? Always, always keep your guard up. Be aware of what you're doing, never trust anyone especially those with a history of violence or violent temper…you never know what they'll do…and they can change in a moment.
