You so beautifully submitted the photographs for this memorial on 20 June 2012. I have now added the additional souls inscribed on the grave markers and submitted photo requests for them at Metairie Cemetety. You may still have the original photos from 2012. If you do, feel free to submit them. They were excellent.
Many thanks,

We are a company located in South Carolina and have been in business for over 15 years. We sell new and used parts for Chrysler Corporation vehicles only, mainly 1955-95 models. Approximately 70% of our sales are new Chrysler parts (genuine MoPar parts) and 30% are good used parts pulled from our large selection of parts cars located on the premises. Our main warehouse is well stocked from floor to ceiling, two levels in all, with new old stock parts. The best analogy for our market niche is your local Chrysler-Plymouth-Dodge dealer. We offer the same high quality parts; only more! We also have parts for your 1981-83 Imperials. Think of Brad's NOS Parts as your local dealer accessible through a "time machine". If you were able to go back in time to 1975 (remember disco?), you could walk into your friendly local Dodge dealer's parts department and order most any new genuine MoPar part for your 1969 Dodge Coronet. Think of us today as that same dealer's parts counter then. We may have that same new genuine part on our warehouse shelf today, but add 30 years of dust!! We leave the reproduction market to other companies and key in on the good stuff!
One of the most common questions we get is: "Where in the world do you get these parts?" To answer where we get the parts is difficult. It's easier to explain how the parts exist in the first place. Let's say your daily driver is a 1985 Lebaron convertible. The kids break the left convertible top latch and you order a new one from the local dealer. Later you discover you can fix the latch yourself and don't bother to go in and pick it up. Meanwhile 4 weeks go by and your local dealer realizes that you are not coming in to buy it so he "puts it upstairs" figuring he'll need it sooner or later. Twenty years later, he still has it upstairs only with a layer of dust on it, and we now have a 20-year-old NOS part for someone restoring a 1985 Lebaron. Most of our inventory was purchased years ago when the parts were plentiful.
Many times a customer will call and after we verify that we indeed have the needed genuine MoPar part, they will respond: "Do you know how many years I have been looking for that?" Word has it, "If we dont have it, no one does!"
The parts we have inventoried only represent approximately 20% of the NOS parts we actually own and have here. As well as our incredible inventory of new parts, we have many parts cars here.
If you don't see your part here, please call, email or write us, or use the Contact Us Section of the website. Chances are we can find it for you.

The offer arrives just in time for the next game in the series, Disney Infinity 2.0, which stars Marvel's super heroes when it launches on September 23. The upgrade deal also makes sense for the publisher, as Disney Interactive would certainly love for the series' sizable fanbase on Wii to make the trek to Wii U, given that Disney Infinity 2.0 won't be available on Wii.
Disney Infinity (Toy Box Creation)
Glendale, CA – August 21, 2014 – Disney Interactive is giving Disney Infinity (1.0 Edition) Wii gamers the chance to upgrade their play experience to Wii U free of charge, exclusively through the Nintendo eShop. Starting today, fans who own the Disney Infinity Starter Pack on Wii can download the Wii U version of the game from the Nintendo eShop, complete with multiplayer. The Disney Infinity base and figures are required to play on Wii U once downloaded.
The Wii U version of Disney Infinity utilizes the Wii U GamePad to create worlds in the Toy Box and share them online. Activate missions and unlock toys in Play Sets to discover Monsters University, Pirates of the Caribbean and The Incredibles in high definition. Play as Sulley in his early student days in the world of Monsters University, plunge into adventure as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean, and activate the powers of Mr. Incredible on a quest to save the world from Syndrome and his super villains in The Incredibles Play Set.
"Disney Infinity launched one year ago, and in that time the number of Wii U players has significantly expanded," said John Blackburn, Vice President and General Manager of Avalanche Software. "Given our commitment to compatibility for our players, we wanted existing Wii owners to be able to experience the Wii U version of the first game for free. With the upcoming launch of the 2.0 Edition of Disney Infinity we want all Nintendo players to experience the game's Wii U functionality."
Disney Infinity is rated E10+ by the ESRB. For more information on the game, visit disney.com/Infinity.
About Disney Infinity

Players can place real-world toy versions of favorite Disney characters onto a device called the Disney Infinity Base and transport them into the virtual game worlds of Monsters University, the Incredibles, Cars, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lone Ranger and Toy Story in Space, as well as into a giant Toy Box. Disney Infinity is available for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii U, Wii, 3DS, PC, iOs and Win8.
Disney Infinity's next chapter, Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes, will hit North American retail stores on September 23. In the new game, players use real-world interactive figures to activate original storylines (Play Sets) in the virtual game worlds of popular Marvel franchises and create new adventures with other Disney Infinity characters in the Toy Box mode. Disney Infinity: Marvel Super Heroes is rated E-10+ by the ESRB.

| 5 important questions
How will the program be structured?
The program will be directed at children of 4-6 years and will comprise three parts, arranged sequentially:
In the first part the children learn individual words and their meanings. Young children are genuinely amazed by the world around them and by the words and images they encounter. They are curious and want to learn. The program makes full use of this trait to trigger active search behavior in a playful way: children navigate around an image with a key word or concept and thereby gain new insights, recognizing connections between images, related words, concepts and feelings. The 'inputs' of curiosity and wonder return experiences that expand the child's intrinsic desire to learn. Therefore, the predominant didactic activity here involves the image in close proximity to the pronunciation as well as the graphic depiction of the matching word. In this way, the program adheres to two basic principles for learning languages. The first is that learning to read is not essentially linked to learning to write. Instead, reading should be associated with speaking, as both are natural processes, while writing is a formal process. The second basic principle is that young children learn quickly and thoroughly by using images in combination with spoken and written words. The learning process, then, must center on elegant combinations of images with their matching words in spoken and written form.
In the second part we prepare the children for communication by teaching them sentences and contexts. We encourage the children to combine words into sentences. At this stage symbols carefully selected from different sign languages are used to designate nouns and verbs. The effectiveness of this approach has been tested and confirmed by native-language educational institutions and literacy training programs. An active use of vocabulary and sentence construction skills is not only essential for learning languages but is also intricately tied to the development and maturation of children's social skills.
In the third part words, sentences and social skills come together in a single training program. Children learn to apply grammatical rules and use language appropriate to specific contexts and social situations. The acquisition of these skills is essential for understanding, speaking and reading the language and is therefore crucial to a successful and rewarding introduction to the Internet.
In all three parts of the program there will be elements of competion and reward for achievements. Success will be rewarded with cartoons or short films that the children will find funny or exciting. These films are in English and will enhance their understanding of the language.
next question: What makes our program different from other already existing language programs for children? >>

Hey! I used to suffer from panic attacks. I had a severe panic disorder for a full year. Every single day. I would go to the ER on a daily basis (thank god i live in Montreal or else i'd be poor lol) because I thought that i was legitimately having a heart attack every single day. It's the worst feeling. And i'be realized that my friends and family couldn't possibly understand what i was going through since they have not lived it for themselves. I was often hearing "snap out of it" and "calm down" but people don't realize that its easier said than done. I refused all medication and made huge changes in my life related to diet and I also quit smoking. Eventually, my panic turned to agoraphobia (fear of leaving the house).

Catherine E. Ross to Receive the 2010 Leonard I. Pearlin Award
The Leonard I. Pearlin Award is given each year for distinguished contributions to the sociological study of mental health. The selection of Dr. Catherine Ross is a reflection of her exceptional research productivity and impact, outstanding teaching and mentoring, and excellent service to the broader scientific community.
While most scholars struggle in their careers to impact a single literature, Dr. Ross has distinguished herself by publishing extensively on the mental health consequences of gender, socioeconomic status, family characteristics, social support, and, most recently, aging, and neighborhood context. She has also made significant contributions to our understanding of the measurement of mental health and the sense of control. Dr. Ross' work is so important it is difficult to conduct research in any of these areas without referencing her in some way.
Much of Dr. Ross' work is in the tradition of Leonard Pearlin, focusing on "durable, persistent, structured experiences" (Pearlin 1975) shaped by educational, work, and economic stratification. This focus is perhaps best illustrated by "Hardship and Depression", which draws on Pearlin's groundbreaking research. Some of her best individual works show us that (1) the sense of personal control is a key link between structural conditions and psychological well-being, (2) education and income uniquely benefit the mental health of women and men, (3) the employment status of wives can have important effects on the mental health of both wives and husbands, depending on employment preferences and the household division of labor, (4) socioeconomic and psychosocial mechanisms link parental divorce during childhood and depression in adulthood, (5) residential stability undermines mental health in poor neighborhoods, and (6) perceptions of neighborhood disorder contribute to the development of perceptions of powerlessness and mistrust.
During her career, Dr. Ross has published 99 journal articles, 19 book chapters, and 2 coauthored books. She has been especially productive in top research outlets, including the Journal of Health and Social Behavior (31 articles), American Sociological Review (6 articles), American Journal of Sociology (4 articles),
Social Forces (5 articles), and Social Psychology Quarterly (8 articles). Her articles
have been cited well over 6,000 times. Over the past decade, her lead-author
work has averaged over 200 citations per year. One of Dr. Ross' books, Social Causes
of Psychological Distress (2003), is one of the most influential and widely read books in the sociology of mental heal th. According to Google Scholar, Social Causes
has been cited over 700 times, across an array of disciplines, including Sociology,
Psychology, Public Health, and Medicine. Not surprisingly, she is listed on the ISI
database of highly cited researchers in the category of Social Sciences, General.
Dr. Ross has been remarkably productive in her career as a research scholar. She has also made significant contributions as a teacher and mentor. Dr. Ross has developed and taught a wide range of courses over the years, including
courses in basic and advanced quantitative methods, as well as several
courses focused on the social distribution of mental health. In addition to her work
in the classroom, she has directed numerous theses and dissertations and
has published several articles with graduate students. In this way, Dr. Ross is
tremendously instrumental in the careers of her students. She also treats her
students with a great deal of consideration and respect, which encourages positive scholarly development. Not surprisingly, her students have gone on to make notable contributions to the sociological study of mental health and related fields.
In addition to direct scholarly, teaching, and mentoring achievements, Catherine has contributed to the sociological study of mental health through her work in various editorial positions. Over the years, Catherine has served as Deputy Editor for the Journal of Health and Social Behavior and Associate Editor/Consulting Editor, and/or Editorial Board Member for several leading journals, including Journal of
Health and Social Behavior, Social Psychology Quarterly, American Journal of Sociology, American Sociological Review, Sociological Quarterly, and Journal of Marriage and the Family.
For all of these reasons, Dr. Ross is truly deserving of the 2010 Leonard I. Pearlin Award.

French Meadows Camp Policies
The following camp rules are listed to assure a safe and enjoyable experience for all and are requested by the Forest Service and/or the camp staff. See also the cancellation policy below.
1. Drive 5 mph within camp boundaries. There are children playing and people walking leisurely on the road. Drive slowly for their safety and yours.
2. The campgrounds are reserved for camping only. Our special use permit allows us to charge admission to the camp and to sell items in the store to our members. If you are interested in some activity other than "camping only," please direct your questions to the George Ohsawa Macrobiotic Foundation in writing so that your request may be reviewed by the Board of Directors for consideration. A minimum of 90 days prior before the start of camp is required.
3. There is no selling of goods or services allowed in the National Forest. Exchanging goods or services for money in the National Forest is breaking the law.
4. Camp only within camp boundaries and at least 25 yards (75 feet) from the stream. This assures everyone's enjoyment of the natural beauty.
5. Pets, including dogs, are not permitted within the camp boundaries. If you show up with a dog, other than a registered service animal, or other pet you will be asked to leave.
6. Also prohibited within camp boundaries: smoking, underage drinking, illegal drugs, firearms, soap or shampoo in the stream, rock climbing in the kitchen area, and alcohol at scheduled events. Picking wildflowers is not allowed in the National Forest.
7. Quiet time is 10:00 PM to 6:00 AM. This includes radios and CD players at personal campsites as well as the use of bright lanterns.
8. Responsibility. The camp staff does not provide individual care for participants. If you need care, you need to bring your own care giver. Camp reserves the right to limit participation based on individual condition.
9. All engines, other than approved woodcutting equipment, should be off during camp—check with the camp director for reasonable use of RV generators. Cutting live or standing trees and operating chain saws are strictly prohibited.
10. Due to fire danger only two open fire areas are allowed: the kitchen and the evening campfire area. Individual camp stoves and lanterns are permitted however.
11. Keep bear bait (anything aromatic) out of sight and smell and away from tents—the back of the rented truck and bear boxes at Aspen and Lodgepole are available for these items. The bears avoid humans but do like to snack on food left out during the night, for which they have been known to rip tents.
12. Photo/Video—Any commercial use of photographs or videos taken at French Meadows Camp is prohibited without written permission by the George Ohsawa Macrobiotic Foundation. Please let the folks at the registration table KNOW if you object to your image being used by the Foundation for promotion purposes.
13. Drink plenty of water. Filtered water is available from the kitchen. Avoid drinking water from the stream. Bring your own bottle or cup for personal use and reserve camp utensils and bowls for dining use.
14. Ask before arriving. If you have any questions about these policies, or any other questions, it is best to ask before driving all the way to camp—call (800) 232-2372 or (530) 566-9765. Having to ask someone to leave is no fun for us, or you.
Cancellation Fees
If you cancel your reservation for any reason, per person cancellation fees are as follows:
- Before May 1, 2015 = $150 fee; the remainder is refunded
- May 1-June 15, 2015 = $250 fee; the remainder is applied to the 2016 French Meadows Summer Camp—any amount not used for the 2016 camp (even if there is no 2016 camp) will be donated to the 501(c)3 nonprofit East West Center for Macrobiotics
- After June 30, 2014 = no refund
We suggest that you purchase trip cancellation insurance in case you need to cancel your reservation.
Camping Information
There are no enclosed accomodations
Campers, RVs, and motor homes are welcome and must be parked in the lots provided. Since the paving of the parking lots a few years ago we have had plenty of space for everyone.
Restrooms (camp toilets) and cold running water are available at several locations throughout the campground.
Filtered water, used for cooking, is available to all campers; feel free to bring your own water bottle and cup for taking filtered water out of the kitchen area.
Shower stalls are erected for camp. You provide your own solar shower bag (available at the bookstore), as there is no hot running water.
Bears occasionally roam the campground at night and break into cars containing food with the windows cracked open. Food can be safely stored in the large camp truck which has a secure door.
Emergency Phone: The nearest phone is about 23 miles away. Some cell phones work from the top of Chipmunk Ridge, a five to six mile drive up an unpaved road. If you need to be reached in case of a real emergency, the Forest Service office in Foresthill will relay the message—the number is (530) 367-2224 and our location is the Gates Group campground at French Meadows. We also can send emergency messages through the Forest Rangers.

Background. I was born in Pennsylvania where my father pastored in the Free Methodist church. During my middle and high school years he pastored for the Bible Methodist denomination in Georgia, and then Birmingham, Alabama.
Education. My education background includes a Bachelor of Sacred Music in Music Education at God's Bible School and College (Cincinnati, OH), a Master of Music degree at Miami University of Oxford, Ohio, and the Doctor of Music Ministry degree from Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, KY.
Professional experience. I taught voice and church music on the faculty of God's Bible School and College for eleven years, followed by teaching assignments at Southern Seminary and in Campbellsville University's adult program. I have served as worship leader for Mulberry Wesleyan Church, in Cincinnati, OH, and Grace Community Church of the Nazarene, in Louisville, KY.
Spiritual journey. When I was about eight I began to be interested in spiritual things. I don't remember my conversion, but I do remember becoming aware that I needed Jesus, and I have placed my faith in him alone for salvation. When I was about fifteen, I chose to make finding God's will for my life my highest priority. My life is fully consecrated to God and I am continuing to grow in His grace.
Call to Ministry. The call to full-time Christian service came to me as a growing persuasion. My parents considered it an honor to be in Christian service, and enjoyed investing in other people. An inner sense of God's direction grew alongside opportunities to minister, and the affirmation of others when I did.
I believe worship is first for God's pleasure, but that his great pleasure is to make us, his redeemed and loved ones, whole and complete. We worship by delighting in who God is and what he does, especially as we see him in the story of creation and redemption. But worship is more than what we do in church. It is a life poured out in love, constantly renewed in relationship with God and our brothers and sisters in Christ. Worship ministry is also for those God loves, who have not yet owned him as Lord. I believe evangelism is God's quest in time for worshipers in eternity.
Current work. At OCU I divide my time between the Registrar's Office (as University Registrar) and the Music Department, where I direct the OCU Chorale and teach voice and church music courses.

@pennyhopkins great photo, thank you for the tweet!
Graze Bar, Brewery and Chophouse, our latest venue in Bath, is our biggest outlet yet and is something of a flagship for Bath Ales. At just over 5,000 sq ft, the new site, which is next to Bath Spa train station, is double the size of any of our other pubs. It opened in December 2012.
The premises are part of a new food quarter in and around the arches of the 19th century railway station, orginally built by none other than Isambard Kingdom Brunel. Our new bar and restaurant takes up the entire first floor and boasts two large outside areas for al fresco drinking and dining. There is capacity for around 140 diners.
The menu has a strong focus on British meat cookery with a particular emphasis on dry aged steak cooked in a searingly hot Josper charcoal oven. In addition to the seriously meaty fare there is also a great selection of small plates, fish and shellfish dishes and vegetarian options, as well as seasonal specials. Weekdays at Graze Bath feature a good value 2 course set price lunch at £12.50. Breakfast is served from 8am weekdays and Saturdays and 9am on Sundays.
Drinks-wise, alongside an extensive range of wines from some superb boutique producers and a top quality list of premium spirits, you can of course find Bath Ales' great range of ales and ciders along with some up and coming craft beers from around the world. Apart from offering great food and drink in a relaxed, vibrant and sophisticated atmosphere, there is a fully functional micro-brewery, which, from early in 2013, will be producing a unique brew or two as well as small runs of one-off specialist craft beers. There is also a fantastic open plan kitchen with a dining counter, a striking island bar and a meat hanging room visible to guests.

Three Law Faculty Members Receive University Merit Awards
May 14, 2014
Professor Richard Leo, who has spent the 2013-2014 academic year as a visiting professor at the UCLA School of Law, will return to the USF School of Law as the inaugural holder of the Hamill Family Chair.
As the Hamill Family Chair and Professor of Law and Social Psychology, Leo will continue to teach such courses as Criminal Law and Criminal Procedure while pursuing his influential scholarly work in the areas of false confessions and wrongful convictions. The Hamill Family Chair is made possible by a gift from Stephen Hamill '78 and his family.
"I am thrilled and honored to be chosen as the inaugural holder of the Hamill Family Chair and look forward to returning to USF in the fall," Leo said. "I am deeply thankful to the Hamill family for their generosity in endowing the chair, and for their continued support of USF. I am also grateful to have such committed and caring colleagues at USF, many of whom have been role models to me; and I remain grateful to the many law students who I have been privileged to teach and learn from in my years at USF. The USF School of Law is an exceptional institution that continues to produce first-rate legal professionals, and I am privileged to be a part of it."
Hamill has been one of the law school's most ardent supporters, enhancing students' skills training activities through diverse clinics and faculty opportunities. The Hamill family endowed this chair to "support and enhance an extraordinary faculty, to ensure a high quality legal education, and to provide future opportunities and possibilities for others," Hamill said.
"Richard Leo embodies the vision we had in establishing the Hamill Family Chair," Hamill said. "He is a renowned and respected legal scholar. His prolific writing and publication, his numerous awards for his writing, teaching, and professional work, including Soros and Guggenheim fellowships, make him the ideal choice."
Leo will be on sabbatical for the 2014-2015 academic year while serving as a fellow at Stanford University's Center for the Advanced Study in the Behavioral Sciences. This coveted fellowship is the latest in a string of honors he has received, including, most recently, the Crime and Juvenile Delinquency Lifetime Achievement Award from the Society for the Study of Social Problems.
"Richard is one of the most respected and influential scholars on our faculty," Dean John Trasviña said. "His extensive writing on false confessions and wrongful convictions is valued by both scholars and policymakers."

The legendary Crosby, Stills and Nash recently stopped by the set of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to play the classic tune "Teach Your Children."
And that wasn't all. Earlier in the show, host Jimmy Fallon, who has been known to pull off some amazing impressions of musicians, came out dressed as Neil Young to play pop songstress Iggy Azalea's "Fancy." Who would eventually join Fallon but Stephen Stills, David Crosby and Graham Nash themselves, marking a pseudo-reunion of CSNY for the next-level cover.

We had a number of people e-mail and tweet us suggesting we put up the postgame video from the Canucks' 3-2 overtime win over the Colorado Avalanche Saturday. On first glance, it's hard to see why. The clip, which clocks in at just over a minute, is little more than a bunch of guys walking into a room and undressing. What's so exciting about that? (Said the heterosexual male.)
I mean, maybe that's enough for you, but, as you may know, we at PITB deal primarily in wackiness. The wackiness is at a minimum in this clip. What's the big deal?
However, upon closer inspection, there are some interesting observations to be made in the short video, from Alain Vigneault's peculiar handshake routine to Zack Kassian's t-shirt selection. So let's work our way through it.
0:02 - The Canucks begin filing into the dressing room, a march soundtracked by Calvin Harris's "Feel So Close". It's a crappy song.
0:12 - Kesler has similar opinions of it. "Great music," he mutters. BUT HE TOTALLY MEANS THE OPPOSITE.
0:12 - While Kesler is ripping the music, Sami Salo gives a forlorn look to the camera from his lonely corner stall. Was he always so shy? He tries to formulate a congratulations to Higgins, but Kesler drowns him out and he nervously retreats back into his shell. It's much safer for him in there.
0:18 - And speaking of one dude drowning out another, Mason Raymond enters the room and begins to say something intelligent to Higgins before Burrows follows him in shouting unintelligible nonsense. I bet this happens all the time, like when they're ordering at restaurants.
"Hello, ma'am. I'd like the foie gras and a glass of –"
0:39 - Roberto Luongo patrols the room, making faces and talking to himself. One such face is at the top of the post. I believe he last made that face during the overtime intermission in Game of 5 of the 2007 Western Conference semifinals.
0:47 - With the Northwest Division sewn up and a playoff berth officially in the books, Alain Vigneault immediately begins preparing for the postseason by practicing handshakes. The players indulge him. You can't see it, but he slips in a Suck on that, Quenneville a few times.
0:49 - Chris Higgins's abs make an appearance. They remain spectacular. (Said the heterosexual male.)
0:53 - Alex Burrows yells Attaboy Higggggaaaaaayyyyyy! for approximately the 15th time. This time it's followed by Yeah Yeah Yeah!
0:55 - Zack Kassian is wearing a 2012 Northwest Division champions t-shirt. Rookie mistake. By now, everyone else knows that winning the Northwest Division is akin to winning Mario Kart's Flower Cup on 50cc. It's not something you brag about.Tags: burrows makes no sense, locker room videos, luongo faces, video, Vigneault
So was I the only one creeped out by the weird handshake ritual? Does this happen after every game, only games they win, because of the NW division win, or just because there was a camera in there? No one looked incredibly pleased with the ritual, some less so than others, even AV didn't seem to have his heart in it. Like Kassian's expression upon seeing the camera (damn I won't be able to swear and pick my nose!)
yup, everyone seemed to stiffen up real good when it was their turn for the handshake. so formal. i think that's how av likes it or he has no choice thanks to his social skills. some guys play for the glory, some guys play for the bucks and some guys play for the fleeting, awkward finger-squeeze of their coach, accompanied by a waft of lozenge of course.
I think it's just due to his coaching style. I remember an interview with the Sedins where they admitted not knowing AV very well on a personal level and not interacting with him on a social basis despite having been coached by him for so many years. It seems that he likes to keep a fair distance between himself and his players so that the relationship is strictly professional.
I believe I recall seeing teams on both season of 24/7 doing the handshake ritual after victories.
That doesn't make it any less creepy looking – because it does/is – but it appears this may be an NHL tradiotion. You know, like the way that all teams do the exact same pre-game warm-up routine on the ice.
If I was a certain "hockey columnist" at a certain local morning tabloid perhaps I'd be tempted to claim this is all part of some kind of Gary Bettman inspired conspiracy to suppress the players, or something like that.
"Hello, ma'am. I'd like the foie gras and a glass of –"
After reading this, I went back and rewatched that part of the clip. I was howling the second time around when I actually paid attention to what Burrows was belting out. Great stuff.
I would bet a chunk of change most of the players would rather not have an unexpected camara in their dressing room. You could see it on Kassian's face, for sure, but I think the whole scene was a little bit awkward. Everyone knew it was there, but were trying to ignore it. I think funny Bob's face captured at the top shows how he felt about it!

Vaughan Roderick, BBC Wales political presenter and Welsh language blogger, will host a cross-party debate with representatives from the Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and Plaid Cymru parties focusing on how their policies for the next Assembly will affect lesbian, gay and bisexual people.
Andrew White, Director of Stonewall Cymru said "With lesbian, gay and bisexual people representing over 6% of the electorate in Wales and issues such as homophobic bullying being endemic in Welsh schools, the Assembly elections are an important opportunity to ensure that sexual orientation issues are included in Assembly policies."
He added "Nearly two thirds of young lesbian, gay and bisexual people experience homophobic bullying in our schools yet two thirds of secondary school staff do not always respond to such bullying. It is vital that lesbian, gay and bisexual people across Wales have the opportunity to find out what candidates would do to ensure they are included and supported at home, at school and at work."
This hustings event will give voters to the opportunity to hear how each party has responded to Stonewall Cymru's election manifesto in the areas of education, healthcare, public services, hate crime and representation.
Karen Cooke, Co-Chair of Enfys Said "We are happy to support Stonewall Cymru with this event and welcome everyone to the University and hope they enjoy the evening."

She's done two drinks recently using spirits from Art in the Age. Probably sponsored, but I don't mind. They both sound delicious, and the guys at AITA seem fully legit. If I can find somewhere to buy ROOT or SNAP, I'm going to try these ASAP. Charlotte hasn't led me astray yet, so I trust these will be wonderful as well.
Tasting Rum in New Orleans 4 Oct 2011

The spiced rum certainly sounded good to me. The rest seemed pretty basic, sure, but there's not a whole lot you can do with rum without ruining the flavor, and I think they are trying to avoid adding artificial flavors like lime flavored rum.

To be honest I wouldn't even consider putting labels on a disc to go in a Wii.
I've got an Epson P50 which prints direct to disk I know it's not as cheap as labels but at 80 smackers it's better and less hassle than sending your Wii away with a broken drive.
If I'm not mistaken aren't the Wii drives 'fragile' at best : don't like scratched discs and a few other problems? I'm defianlty no expert on the hardware side but I wouldn't entertain labels.
All IMO of course
It's amazing what you find when you use the search function ! Use it. It's free !
I use printable Verbatim with my Canon inkjet printer. Right now printable Verbatim -r are $9.99(sale price) for a 25 disc spindle pretty cheap if you ask me. As mentioned before console-covers is a great place for covers, mostly customs but they better than the originals imo.
I, too, use Verbatim printables. Sams Club has the best price at $34 for 100pack spindle.
Thanks for the help guys.
I just bought an Epson Artisan 50 printer today. It was $42.99 cnd on sale, so i bought two, just for the ink! It prints discs absolutely beautifully, I'm so impressed with the quality. All my backups look like retails now
That looks nice, how is the quality of the picture on the disc, does it print right up to the hub? And $42.99, where you get this at, maybe a retailer in my area.
It was a boxing day sale up here in cold Canadia, at a store called Canada Computers. They had stacks and stacks of these printers.
The quality is very very sharp, I used some very high resolution scans of retail discs for New Super Mario bros and a custom of Super Mario Galaxy, and they just look flawless on my Memorex dvd's. Dries pretty much instantly too. It depends on how good the scans are, otherwise the lines could be a little fuzzy when printed.
The software included with the printer is dead easy to use, and it lets you specify the inner/outer diameters of the disc, depending on how much the white coating covers. I have verbatim and memorex discs, and the inner diameter of them are different. As long as the discs have the white coating all the way to the hub, you can tell the printer to do it. My memorex's have a 35mm inner diameter for the coating, so the art for NewSuperMario got cut off a little bit.
If you do specify an inner diameter of less than 45mm (default for discs, as per the Epson software), it tells you to let it dry for 24 hrs before burning onto the disc, since the ink that doesn't fall on the white coating takes a long time to dry on just bare plastic. I mistakenly gave it too small of an inner diameter, and it printed onto the bare plastic hub.
I would not use paper labels on any disk that is going to be used multiple times in a drive. The paper will add weight and it will make the disk unbalanced, which will lead to a broken drive.
Using a disk printer or laser burner is the way to go...

These classes often look good on paper. I like tanking on my paladin. I know it's not exactly challenging, but I enjoy it -- so other tank classes should sound fun too, right? Wrong. I cannot bring myself to roll a warrior. I don't know why, exactly; I don't have a good reason for it. It's clearly a deeply personal thing, but I just can't find any appeal in that class.
I have two healers already, a priest and a shaman, so adding a druid should be good. After all, they can tank, too! But druid is my #1 rolled and deleted class. If I had stats for that, I reckon I've rolled and deleted maybe five druids. Maybe six. Most of them don't make it out of the starting zone. For some reason, I just find them uninspiring. The spells seem dull, not exciting or engaging. I'm sure they're great if you give them a chance, but the sulky teenager in me doesn't want to!
Of course, these tastes are incredibly subjective and personal, and I am under no illusions that there is a right answer or even a majority opinion! But I want to know what classes are the ones you will never play? What are the classes you roll and delete in their infancy? And, dear reader, why?

The final two weeks in a presidential election that has been going on for nearly 2 years, is not the time to get cocky. It's not the time to relax and celebrate. It is the time to buckle down.
Campaigns are won and lost in their ground game. The Obama team throughout the primary demonstrated incredible skill and intelligence in dealing with the reality of facts on the ground in each state. Their GOTV ability rivals Obama's ability for eloquent oration, and is equally an important part in an Obama Biden victory.
But for the Obama campaign to execute its ground game it needs its supporters to continue to put in the effort in both time and money that they have been all year. Polls or no polls, a candidate needs to get his voters to the election booth. And there are still obstacles to overcome:
Rolling Stone dives into Republican attempts at voter suppression.
Andrew Sullivan reminds us about racism in Appalachia.
And then of course there's the limited time voters can be out of the office and people's general distaste for lines.

Mercado Takes Second Consecutive SuperSport Pole
NEWS June 6, 2009
The 17-year-old Argentine, who was also quickest in both of Friday's practice sessions, posted a best lap of 2:24.157 (101.090 mph) in the 20-minute qualifying session to secure the pole. Mercado also started from pole last month at Infineon Raceway. He is currently 13 points behind SuperSport East leader Joey Pascarella, who is not competing this weekend at Road America due to injury, and is looking for his second SuperSport win in Sunday's race.
"Qualifying was good," Mercado said. "I could make a good lap. The bike was working awesome with different settings from yesterday. Everything is okay. Tomorrow, I hope the weather is good. I want to finish this race for points in the championship. I'm second and I want to finish this race on the podium."
Starting second will be Josh Day on the No. 4 Team E.S.P. Yamaha YZF-R6 following a best qualifying lap at 2:26.227 (99.659 mph). Day has started from the front row in every SuperSport race in which he has competed this season, but is still looking for his first win.
"It should be a good race, but we've got a long way to go compared to what everybody's practice times were from yesterday," Day said. "I think we're a second-and-a-half or two seconds off, but I think we got it in there. The Evans Steele Performance guys are really working hard over there and just trying to do everything they can. We'll go out there tomorrow and hopefully get a good start and try and stay up front."
Ricky Parker, who won at Infineon Raceway, will start third on the No. 96 Graves Motorsports Yamaha YZF-R6 at 2:26.289 (99.617 mph). Russ Wikle completes the front row on the No. 5 Roadracingworld.com Suzuki GSX-R600. Wikle's best qualifying lap was a 2:26.596 (99.408 mph).
The 10-lap (40-mile) SuperSport race concludes the race weekend at the Suzuki Superbike Doubleheader. It goes off from a standing start at 4:00 p.m. local time on Sunday afternoon.

BACKGROUND: Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction affects approximately 50% of patients taking antidepressants. Previous research has explored sildenafil's effectiveness in treating various forms of erectile dysfunction, but there is no research supporting sildenafil's use for improving the quality of life for patients with sexual dysfunction linked to antidepressant use. The authors of this article aimed to assess the improvements in quality of life in patients taking sildenafil to treat antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction.
METHODS: One hundred and two out of 2,239 male and female patients in the follow-up phase of the Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression antidepressant trials who complained of sexual dysfunction were given sildenafil, 50 to 100 mg, as needed. After 12 months, we measured patients' change in libido, sexual drive, family relationships, overall well-being, satisfaction with treatment, and overall contentment with items on the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale, Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire, 30-item Inventory of Depressive Symptoms, and 12-item Short Form Health Survey.
RESULTS: There was a significant association between sildenafil use and improvement in libido and sexual drive by month 6. There was no significant improvement in the quality-of-life scores we examined, but treatment satisfaction and overall contentment increased over time.
CONCLUSIONS: Despite no direct association with sildenafil use and quality-of-life scores, sildenafil may be a beneficial treatment for antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction. A double-blind, placebo-controlled study of sildenafil in antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction is needed to further explore its potential benefits.
KEYWORDS: major depressive disorder, sexual dysfunction, antidepressant, libido, sildenafil, quality of life
Antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction is a significant issue in the treatment of patients with mood disorders, affecting about 50% of patients who receive antidepressant treatment.1 Patients with antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction report that changes in sexual function negatively affect their self-esteem, mood, and relationships with their sexual partners.1 The sexual dysfunction associated with the use of antidepressants may be so distressing to some patients that they prematurely self-discontinue their antidepressant treatment despite adequate improvement in their depressive symptoms.2 Given the importance of normal sexual functioning in the lives of patients, effective treatment for antidepressant-associated sexual dysfunction is vital. Accordingly, we anticipate that an effective form of treatment for this common side effect would improve patients' quality of life.
Sildenafil has been established as the standard of care for male erectile dysfunction.3 To further explore other uses of sildenafil, we examined the results of a large antidepressant study, Sequenced Treatment Alternatives to Relieve Depression (STAR*D), in which both male and female responders to antidepressant treatment who complained clinically of sexual dysfunction while taking antidepressants were prescribed sildenafil, 50 to 100 mg, as needed, during a 1-year follow-up to an acute antidepressant treatment period. In this report, we examine the results of this course of treatment with sildenafil. We hypothesized that antidepressant responders or remitters who complained of sexual dysfunction and received sildenafil (50 to 100 mg/d) would demonstrate a statistically significant improvement in scale items measuring sexual dysfunction from the 30-item Inventory of Depressive Symptoms (IDS-C30) (item 22 – sexual interest),4 from the 17-item Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HDRS17) (item 14 – libido),5 and from the Quality of Life Enjoyment and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Q-LES-Q) (item 9 – sexual drive).
As a secondary hypothesis, we predicted that sildenafil use would be associated with a statistically significant improvement in quality of life, as measured by the Q-LES-Q items 6 (familial relationships), 14 (overall well-being), 15 (satisfaction with treatment), and 16 (overall contentment).6 Finally, we predicted that improvement in sexual function would be associated with improvement in the overall Q-LES-Q score, and with improvement in the Physical and Mental health summary measures of the 12-item Short Form Health Survey (SF-12).7
The present work is a post hoc analysis of data from STAR*D, a multisite, prospective, randomized, multistep clinical trial of outpatients with nonpsychotic major depression who did not attain a satisfactory response with citalopram, a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor antidepressant.8 The STAR*D study was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki, Fifth Revision (2002-2004). The study design was approved by each participating site's ethical committee(s) and all participants gave informed consent after fully understanding the study procedures. The study enrolled 4,041 adults (age 18 to 75), from both primary and specialty care practices, who had neither a prior inadequate response nor clear-cut intolerance to a robust trial of protocol treatments during their current major depressive episode. After receiving citalopram (level 1), participants without sufficient symptomatic benefit were eligible for randomization to level 2 treatments, which entailed 4 switching options (sertraline, bupropion, venlafaxine, or cognitive therapy) and 3 citalopram augmentation options (bupropion, buspirone, or cognitive therapy). Those who received cognitive therapy (switching or augmentation options) at level 2 without sufficient improvement were eligible for randomization to 1 of 2 level 2A switching options (venlafaxine or bupropion). Level 2 and 2A participants without sufficient improvement were eligible for random assignment to 2 switching options (mirtazapine or nortriptyline) and to 2 augmentation options (lithium or thyroid hormone) added to the primary antidepressant (citalopram, bupropion, sertraline, or venlafaxine) (level 3). Those without sufficient improvement at level 3 were eligible for level 4 random assignment to 1 of 2 switching options (tranylcypromine or the combination of mirtazapine and venlafaxine). Participants with an adequate symptomatic response at the end of any of these levels then had the opportunity to enter a 12-month naturalistic follow-up phase with brief monthly and more complete quarterly assessments, during which time they would continue their antidepressant treatment. Treatment responders who complained of sexual dysfunction during this naturalistic follow-up period were offered treatment with open-label sildenafil with a starting dose of 50 mg/d, increased up to 100 mg as needed. For the purpose of this article, those participants who entered the naturalistic follow-up from level 1 will be examined.
In order to examine the effect of sildenafil on sexual functioning and quality of life, we analyzed items from several standardized scales. Scales included the HDRS17, IDS-C30, and Q-LES-Q, which were administered at pretreatment, at exit from each treatment level, and at months 3, 6, 9, and 12 of follow-up. End points in this investigation were defined as the last study visit at which sildenafil was prescribed during the 12-month follow-up period. The primary tests of outcome were the degree of changes in item 14 (libido) of the HDRS17 scale, item 9 (sexual drive) of the Q-LES-Q, and item 22 (libido) of the IDS-C30.
Secondary outcome measures to assess quality of life included changes in items 6 (familial relationships), 14 (overall well-being), 15 (satisfaction with treatment), and 16 (overall contentment) of the Q-LES-Q, as well as the change in total score on the Q-LES-Q and the SF-12 physical and mental summary scores.7
All patients prescribed sildenafil in the follow-up phase with at least 1 follow-up visit were compared with those who were not prescribed sildenafil. Mixed-model regression was used to determine the association between sildenafil use and changes in the HDRS17 and Q-LES-Q items of interest, as well as the change in these items over time and the interaction between treatment and time. The relationship between change in sexual functioning and the total change in Q-LES-Q score, SF-12 physical summary score, and SF-12 mental summary score, and their respective associations with time and sex, was similarly assessed. A 2-tailed alpha level of .05 was set for all statistical tests.
A total of 2,239 participants (62.4% female; mean age, 41.4 ± 13.2 years) entered the follow-up phase of treatment. Of the 2,239 patients in follow-up for whom sildenafil status was available, 102 (4.6%) took sildenafil; of these patients, 68.6% were male; 79.4% were white; 23.5% were age 18 to 30; 45.1% were age 31 to 50; and 31.4 % were age ≥51. Patient demographics and depression severity scores are detailed in TABLE 1.
Baseline demographic characteristics (N = 2,239)
We observed gradual improvement in libido and sexual functioning over time in patients receiving sildenafil (TABLE 2), and there was a significant association between use of sildenafil and improvement in the HDRS17 libido item 14 (P = .0002) and the IDS-C30 sexual interest item 22 (P = .0004) (TABLE 3). Improvement in HDRS17 item 14 (libido) and IDS-C30 item 22 (sexual functioning) peaked at 6 months of follow-up, with some reversion at months 9 and 12, although final scores were still improved over baseline (TABLE 2). The improvement was thus not found to be time dependent (TABLE 3). Of interest, there was no improvement at all in HDRS17 item 14 (libido) and IDS-C30 item 22 (sexual functioning) among patients who were not prescribed sildenafil, although there was some improvement in sexual drive on the Q-LES-Q (TABLE 4). Q-LES-Q item 9 (sexual drive) improved more steadily over the 12-month follow-up period (TABLE 2) for those prescribed sildenafil as well; however, the improvement was significantly associated with time (P = .0269) but not sildenafil use (P = .4628) (TABLE 3).
Mean outcomes over time with sildenafil use
No significant interaction was observed between sildenafil treatment and time in treatment with regard to any of the above sexual functioning items (TABLE 3).
Association of sildenafil use with change in outcomes over time
Mean outcomes over time without sildenafil use
Use of sildenafil was not associated with significant improvement on the selected quality-of-life items of the Q-LES-Q (TABLE 3), although there was a significant time-related improvement in overall contentment (P = .0081), which remained significant after interaction with sildenafil treatment. There was a significant association between change in sexual functioning and quality of life, based on overall change in Q-LES-Q (TABLE 5). As sexual function worsened, quality of life decreased, independent of sex (TABLE 5). Improvement in the mental health summary score of the SF-12 was significantly associated with increased sexual function (P < .0001) but not with time or sex (TABLE 5). Improvement in the physical health summary score of the SF-12 had a significant association with time only (P < .0001) (TABLE 5).
Association of change in sexual function with quality of life and functioning
Although sildenafil has been shown to improve male erectile and orgasmic dysfunction associated with the use of antidepressants,3 it has not previously been shown to be statistically significantly superior to placebo for treating deficits in libido. It is therefore of interest that in our sample, sildenafil use was associated with significant improvement on the HDRS17 and IDS-C30 items that focus exclusively on desire or libido. As we did not investigate the underlying etiology of sexual dysfunction (eg, residual symptoms of depression, antidepressant induced, or other medical or psychological causes), it is possible that libido as a residual symptom of depression responds more slowly to antidepressant treatment and thus improved with the passage of time rather than as a result of sildenafil use during the follow-up period. However, given the general lack of association between improvement in sexual functioning and time (TABLE 4), this explanation seems unlikely.
The observed dampening of initial improvement, noted at months 9 and 12 with regard to the HDRS17 libido item and the IDS-C30 sexual functioning item (TABLE 2), is intriguing, particularly when contrasted with the continued improvement on most of the Q-LES-Q measures, including its sexual drive item (TABLE 2). It is possible that patients may have stopped taking the sildenafil, or used it less consistently than in the first 6 months of the follow-up period. This would explain a less robust improvement in libido, although quality of life overall may have continued to improve as a function of continued depressive remission. Overall, these findings, along with those of a previous study showing significant improvement in libido among subjects with antidepressant-induced sexual dysfunction who took maca root,9 suggest that libido may be traceable to agents that improve general sexual functioning. Further investigation into this aspect of sexual dysfunction management is warranted.
In our study, sildenafil was not associated with improvement in specific quality-of-life measures (TABLE 4), although improvements in sexual functioning were associated with improvement in overall quality of life per the Q-LES-Q and the SF-12 mental health summary measure (TABLE 5). In previous studies, the use of sildenafil was clearly associated with improvement in quality of life in males with erectile dysfunction,10 and particularly in males with erectile dysfunction and end-stage renal disease,11 comorbid hypertension, hyperlipidemia, benign prostatic hyperplasia, and depression.12 Because we measured only libido and not erectile dysfunction, it is possible that the direct association between the use of sildenafil and improvement in quality of life went undetected, especially if prior associations were based primarily on improved erectile function. However, the association between improvement in sexual functioning and quality of life was significant in both sexes, suggesting that both men and women with remitted depression may experience improvements in overall quality of life if their sexual dysfunction is treated aggressively.
The study is limited by a relatively small sample of sildenafil users and by the lack of a comparison group, because presumably only the patients who were prescribed sildenafil had reported sexual dysfunction. Those patients prescribed sildenafil had complained of sexual dysfunction; we do not have data to know what proportion of those not prescribed sildenafil may also have been experiencing sexual dysfunction. We did not have compliance data available to determine whether all patients who were prescribed sildenafil took it consistently and as directed, although the generally positive findings would suggest that compliance was good. As mentioned, inquiry about erectile function per se in males would have given a more complete picture of the overall impact of sildenafil in the sample. Finally, this is an examination of association, which does not prove a direct causality of improvement in quality of life secondary to improvement in libido or sexual function. Prospective studies are needed to answer this question more conclusively.
It appears that sildenafil therapy may have beneficial effects on libido and overall quality of life in men and women with major depressive disorder in remission who have residual sexual dysfunction. Further characterization of the effects of sildenafil in depressed populations appears warranted.

Vecor Recycles Waste From Coal Plants Into Building Materials
Vecor Building Systems is using waste from coal power plants to make sustainable building materials.
Coal power plants produce about a billion tons of waste each year, called fly ash. More than half of it goes to landfills and ash ponds. Fly ash is an environmental liability because it makes land uninhabitable and the particle-size dust pollutes the air. Vecor, a finalist in this year's Asian Innovation Awards, hopes to help eliminate fly-ash liability by recycling the waste into valuable raw materials and high-quality bricks, blocks, tiles and pavers.
Vecor founder Alex Koszo sums up the process like this: "We treat the ash with certain chemicals, we press it together, we fire it, at the end of the firing process it turns into a material much like volcanic rock. We can shape and form it in any way we like," he said by phone from Italy, where he is working with some of the world's best porcelain tile engineers.
The company is working with coal power plants and governments that are looking for solutions.
Mr. Koszo, who is Hungarian, learned of the sintering technology in an article published by the University of New South Wales, which helped him partner with scientists Obada Kayali and Karl Shaw.
Vecor was founded in 2007 in China. In 2008 the company acquired its global license and now has offices in Australia, Hong Kong, China and Italy.
Asian Innovation Awards
The Wall Street Journal's Asian Innovation Awards recognize innovations that break with conventional processes in creative ways. Read more:
Already, companies use fly ash in road construction. In markets where there is high urban growth, there tends to be less of a fly-ash liability because the fly ash is recycled into roads, said David Harris, Vecor's business-development director, in an interview in Hong Kong.
In 2008 a fly-ash dam collapsed in the U.S., threatening the surrounding community. More than 3 million cubic feet of fly ash and water were released onto land surrounding the power plant and into nearby rivers, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
Vecor's Mr. Koszo said the global financial crisis has been somewhat of a boon for his business. "When the market is robust it's very difficult to enter. Because our business model is based on partnerships, it's hard to get attention" in the industry, he said. Now, Vecor has found it easier to form partnerships as established companies seek new technology.
The market for green building materials world-wide was $455.3 billion last year, and is predicted to reach $571 billion by 2013, according to NextGen Research.
"In Europe, there is waning demand for building materials [overall], but for green building materials there is a definitely a pickup," Mr. Koszo said.
Governments and consumers are pushing for new technology, too, as environmental concerns gain in importance.
"There's a lot more focus by government and industry on the environmental aspect. We experienced a push and pull. Governments are pushing power stations not to dump waste into landfill," Mr. Koszo said. And consumers are "pulling" for sustainability.
The bricks Vecor makes are 80%-90% recycled material, while the tiles are 70%-80% recycled. The company says its products have performed better than industry standard in third-party laboratory tests of water absorption and durability. Vecor products are also fireproof.
In developing countries, Mr. Koszo said, unless your recycled product is cheaper or the same price as others in the market, "it won't sell."
"In India and China we see a great demand" for building materials, said Mr. Koszo. This year China's ban on clay mining will go into effect in certain provinces. "The result is that they can only use concrete bricks that contain cement," Mr. Koszo said. But Vecor's products aren't affected.
Fly ash gives Vecor "that competitive edge," Mr. Koszo said. Vecor's manufacturing costs for tiles are 20% less than standard Chinese tiles.
Vecor has a small pilot facility in China making prototype tile, brick and paver samples. The company plans to start commercial-scale manufacturing early next year. The company is working with Italian ceramic-machinery manufacturers to develop custom equipment to produce its patented products.
Mr. Koszo was inspired to form Vecor while traveling in China in search of business opportunities. When he saw the state of building materials in the country, where many residential buildings are covered in tiles, he noticed a need for new materials. "That made me choose recycling."
Now, the company is helping to find a solution to an environmental problem. Mr. Harris said, "I think that's really important, especially in a country like China where the pace of urbanization and development is very rapid."

A level 42 what?
If you're a Veno - shame on you. Venos can make game gold fast and yes I know as I'm a mainly solo level 63 Veno.
If you'e not a Veno, roll one, magic only and learn how to farm DQ's. Learn how to use a pet effectively as a tank.
Yeah yeah you don't want to do DQ's - too bad. If you don't have money and actually you're not old enough to have income, then you have to PLAY the game.
Saying you don't want to do what the rest of us do to make game gold is just lame, and lazy. Perfect World isn't a chat room, it's a game where people sometimes socialize.
So get your self back into the forums and study up on where to farm DQ's. Then go farm and make game gold.
At LV50 I cleaned my stash of all the DQs I saved since LV12 and I made over 2 mil in game gold from that. So you have ignored the BEST way to make fast game gold besides buying Cash Shop gold and selling it to players.
For those ignorant of this - most DQ (Dragon Quest) items sell in-game for 400-1200 game gold each. They drop frequently from mobs. They stack in Inventories and the Stash. There are two in-game quest to extend the Stash and Inventory so no excuse not to save some of them. This player just seems to be one of those hanging around public areas spamming "plz, i'm poor, plz?"
