Mathematics Concept & Skill Development Lecture Series: Webvideo consolidation of site lessons and lesson ideas in preparation. Price to be determined.
Bright Students: Top universities want you. While many have high fees: many will lower them, many will provide funds, many have more scholarships than students. Postage is cheap. Apply and ask how much help is available. Caution: some programs are rewarding. Others lead nowhere. After acceptance, it may be easy or not to switch.
Are you a careful reader, writer and thinker?
Five logic chapters lead to greater precision and comprehension in reading and
writing at home, in school, at work and in mathematics.

Early High School GeometryMaps + Plans Use - Measurement use maps, plans and diagrams drawn to scale.
- Coordinates - Use them not only for locating points but also for rotating and translating in the plane.
- What is Similarity - another view of using maps, plans and diagrams drawn to scale in the plane and space. Many human-made objects are similar by design.
- 7 Complex Numbers Appetizer. What is or where is the square root of -1. With rectangular and polar coordinates, see how to add, multiply and reflect points or arrows in the plane. The visual or geometric approach here known in various forms since the 1840s, demystifies the square root of -1 and the associated concept of "imaginary" numbers. Here complex number multiplication illustrates rotation and dilation operations in the plane.

Pattern Based Reason
Online Volume 1A, Pattern Based Reason, describes origins, benefits and limits of rule- and pattern-based reason and decisions in society, science, technology, engineering and mathematics. Not all is certain. We may strive for objectivity, but not reach it. Online postscripts offer a story-telling view of learning: [ A ] [ B ] [ C ] [ D ] to suggest how we share theory and practice in many fields of knowledge.
Site Reviews1996 - Magellan, the McKinley Internet Directory:
Mathphobics, this site may ease your fears of the subject, perhaps even help you enjoy it. The tone of the little lessons and "appetizers" on math and logic is unintimidating, sometimes funny and very clear. There are a number of different angles offered, and you do not need to follow any linear lesson plan. Just pick and peck. The site also offers some reflections on teaching, so that teachers can not only use the site as part of their lesson, but also learn from it.
2000 - Waterboro Public Library, home schooling section:
CRITICAL THINKING AND LOGIC ... Articles and sections on topics such as how (and why) to learn mathematics in school; pattern-based reason; finding a number; solving linear equations; painless theorem proving; algebra and beyond; and complex numbers, trigonometry, and vectors. Also section on helping your child learn ... . Lots more!
2001 - Math Forum News Letter 14,
... new sections on Complex Numbers and the Distributive Law for Complex Numbers offer a short way to reach and explain: trigonometry, the Pythagorean theorem,trig formulas for dot- and cross-products, the cosine law,a converse to the Pythagorean Theorem
2002 - NSDL Scout Report for Mathematics, Engineering, Technology -- Volume 1, Number 8
Math resources for both students and teachers are given on this site, spanning the general topics of arithmetic, logic, algebra, calculus, complex numbers, and Euclidean geometry. Lessons and how-tos with clear descriptions of many important concepts provide a good foundation for high school and college level mathematics. There are sample problems that can help students prepare for exams, or teachers can make their own assignments based on the problems. Everything presented on the site is not only educational, but interesting as well. There is certainly plenty of material; however, it is somewhat poorly organized. This does not take away from the quality of the information, though.
2005 - The NSDL Scout Report for Mathematics Engineering and Technology -- Volume 4, Number 4
... section Solving Linear Equations ... offers lesson ideas for teaching linear equations in high school or college. The approach uses stick diagrams to solve linear equations because they "provide a concrete or visual context for many of the rules or patterns for solving equations, a context that may develop equation solving skills and confidence." The idea is to build up student confidence in problem solving before presenting any formal algebraic statement of the rule and patterns for solving equations. ...

The Ravens did the right thing by not being afraid to make the moves they made after winning the Super Bowl. Now, the question is how everything comes together.
In sports, the toughest thing to find is team chemistry. It's so tough to get but so valuable for a team to have -- and is always so important.
Teams with good chemistry and talent win. You can count on it. Bank on it. That's one reason the Ravens did so well with Ray Lewis, Ed Reed and friends. They had that chemistry. This group clicked in so many ways on the field that it was something to see and a lot of fun to watch.
Now, they've got to look for a new chemistry. Can they find it? Or enough of it to remain an elite NFL team?
The Ravens have plenty of talent this year even though they look a lot different than the 2012 team which won the Super Bowl. They're younger and faster. Top draft pick Matt Elam is going to make some noise in the back, and they've got other rookies and new players who will do the same.
But how will they all fit together? That's the big question. How will they connect on the field? The Ravens seem to be looking for team-first players who are good men off and on the field. No more from the me-me file. John Harbaugh has made it clear he wants good guys under his watch. That will make the Ravens an easier team for him to coach.
This chemistry won't show up right away. It will take some time. But if it does, the Ravens won't look too much different than in the past. And that's good for all of their fans.

Chicago: Roots Handmade Pizza Does the Quad Cities Proud
In a case of better late than never, , Chicago's first Quad Cities style pizzeria, has added yet another degree of variety to the city's diverse pizza scene. More
In a case of better late than never, , Chicago's first Quad Cities style pizzeria, has added yet another degree of variety to the city's diverse pizza scene. More
I went to Abigail's to review their outstanding burger for AHT, but when I saw the menu featured a daily flatbread, I had to expand my order. On the day of my visit, the special went for $12 and was topped with a mixture of red and gold beets, goat cheese, black olives, arugula, a lemon-truffle vinaigrette, and Parmesan. At first glance, I worried the pile of greenery on top of the flatbread would ruin the plate, but the fresh leaves and lightly acidic vinaigrette actually served to balance out a rich, earthy appetizer. More
How good is the pizza at Great Lake? If you meet someone who has eaten there and they do not tell you they had one of the best pizza of their lives, you probably don't want to listen to anything that person has to say about food. More
Coalfire was an early pebble in the recent avalanche of pizzerias in Chicago that do not fit into the city's traditions of tavern, deep dish, or stuffed pizza. And from the time it opened, the place has remained a favorite for many in town. Across the board, I think Coalfire features some of the best ingredients in town but, unfortunately, that's not enough for me to overlook the flawed crust. More
The list of places that put out good New York slices in Chicago is a short one, but it recently got a little longer when Jimmy Kang opened Jimmy's Pizza Café in Lincoln Square. More
Bagels with cream cheese and smoked salmon? Been there, brunched that. Not exactly a groundbreaking dish. But what if a reputable Neapolitan pizzeria makes a pizza with similar ingredients? More
With better deep dish options available in Chicago, the long lines at historic pizza landmarks Uno's and Due's are left largely for tourists to wait in. But Chicagoans who don't take the time to check out the places where deep dish pizza was born are doing themselves a disservice. More
Home Run Inn may be better known nationally for its frozen pizzas, but for generations of Chicagoans, it's a pizzeria first and foremost, and a popular one at that. In one day, I checked out the original location and a frozen pie. Not surprisingly, the fresh ones were vastly superior, but both versions do the tradition proud. More
While the popular history of Gino's East might be a little overblown, there is nothing misleading about this Chicago institution's reputation for making great deep dish pizza. The golden crisp crust is home to a whole lot of mozzarella, a thick and rich tomato sauce, and, in my case, a giant sausage patty. Together, that makes for one soul-satisfying pizza. More
Giordano's flagship restaurant might be loaded with tourists, but residents all over the Chicagoland area keep dozens of other locations busy. There's a thin crust on the menu, but there's really no reason to get it when a wonderfully gluttonous pizza is calling out your name. More
Pizano's Pizza & Pasta is required eating for anyone looking to sample the best deep dish pizza in Chicago. That pizza, made with a very restrained hand for the style, is my go to introductory pie for out of towners who might be overwhelmed by some of the other favorites in town. Making Pizano's even more impressive is that it's the only place that puts out stellar deep dish pizza and a thin crust that might be even better. More
Chicago may be known by most as a deep dish town, but in many parts of the city, thin crust is unquestionably king. And while there are a ton of places making old school pies with crisp crusts that are cut into squares, few do it as well as Vito & Nick's Pizzeria. More
For nearly 50 years spent at four different pizzerias, Burt Katz has been putting out some of the best pizza in Chicago. Since 1989, he's been putting out pies that have made Burt's Place a local favorite and must-try for visiting pizza freaks. More
Old-school pizzerias that have been serving up delicious thin crust pizzas with outstanding sausage are wonderfully common in Chicago. Among stiff competition, Pat's Pizza and Ristorante stands out as one of the very best thanks largely to an excellent crust that seems to defy the laws of physics. More
I could spend weeks putting together a list of Chicago pizzerias that I could describe with the phrase, "I'd be happy eating there regularly." But a much shorter list is one of pizzas that are truly crave-worthy; pies that make my mouth water whenever I think of them. Pequod's is one of those places. More
In the pizza world, Chicago is justifiably known for thick deep dish and stuffed pizzas as well as heavily topped thin crust pies. But since Spacca Napoli opened its doors just over five years ago, this city has embraced the VPN-certified restaurant to the point that it is a required destination for every serious pizza eater around. More
I had my doubts before I headed into SoNo Wood Fired. I knew virtually nothing of the pizza, but the name, which refers to a neighborhood that only exists in a real estate developer's imagination, screamed that the place was trying way too hard. More
There's no doubting the popularity of Phil's Pizza in Bridgeport. The Near South Side institution has been satisfying pizza cravings since 1960 and repeatedly gets glowing reviews from diners. On my recent visit, the restaurant was packed. Given all that, you can imagine my surprise when I bit into a decidedly mediocre pizza. More
East Rogers Park is not exactly overrun with pizzerias and Gruppo Di Amici is the only restaurant in the area that attempts a higher end pie. The dimly lit restaurant has a welcoming feel and the service is great. But the pizza came up short. More

My artwork uses sports as a vehicle to investigate and celebrate issues of fandom, ritual, and fantasy. I have grown up being a fan of football and avidly follow the Green Bay Packers. Throughout the football season I am enamored with the competition, the will to succeed, the drama, but above all else the overwhelming sense of community that being a fan of football affords. With fellow Packers fans I can talk about how our players are doing, with rival fans I can joke about whos better, and with everyone there is a debate on how the season is going. My artwork utilizes group thoughts as well as my own individual opinions about how the Packer season is going. Through quotes and imagery my artwork addresses what it is to be a fan.
Through fantasy football I become a general manager of a team. I can draft, cut, and pick players up through waivers. Football information is available 24/7 and new headlines about the season constantly appear to be read immediately. As an outsider looking in I live vicariously through these players.
Ritual is described as an established or prescribed procedure for a religious or other rite. In my life and artistic practice ritual has become an important factor. On football Sundays I wear a specific shirt, sit in my specific seat, and do not eat anything during the game. These common activities are transformed to a higher importance, through ritual, to acts that help the Packers win. In my artistic practice I have embraced the technique of meticulously hand cutting scrapbook paper. By spending countless obsessive hours on attention to detail I elevate my subject matter from a mere image to an iconic level.

Framingham State University's Continuing Education Program is pleased to announce the opening of a new off-campus site at Assabet Valley Regional Technical High School in Marlborough, MA. Initially, the University will be offering people the chance to take classes toward earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies.
The courses will be offered on Wednesday and Thursday evenings at 6:30 p.m. Classes begin September 5.
The Assabet Valley site was chosen because it's easily accessible from Interstate 495 and is already home to a vibrant evening community education program, according to Scott Greenberg, Associate Vice President of Academic Affairs and Dean of the Graduate and Continuing Education at FSU.
"There is an existing population of thousands of adults attending noncredit classes at Assabet Valley Technical School," Greenberg says. "We believe some may be interested in taking credit courses and completing a college degree."
Greenberg says the site provides people in the Assabet Valley region the flexibility to work toward a bachelor's degree while also juggling family and job demands.
Among the courses initially offered are:
Elementary Spanish I - An integration of language and culture designed to provide beginners with basic functional language skills and an appreciation of Hispanic cultures.
Europe and World Since Circa 1450 - A survey of major cultural, intellectual,
political, and socioeconomic developments in Europe since the mid-fifteenth
century, including European interaction with the wider world.
Race and Ethnic Relations - An examination of the cultures of various racial and ethnic groups from national, international, and historical perspectives; an overview of the theories relevant for an understanding of the outcomes of intergroup contact.
Expository Writing - Designed to improve the writing of expository prose needed in college and beyond. The emphasis rests on collecting, evaluating, and organizing evidence from primary and secondary sources in order to support an explicit, arguable, and substantive thesis.
For more information on the Liberal Studies program, visit www.framingham.edu/liberal-studies/index.html or call Dr. Scott Greenberg at 508-626-4557.

My friends and family who received these cards enjoyed them very much.
These cards were of good quality. They were just right to send to my Sunday School students (junior and senior high).
The Valentines Day God's Sweet Blessings brought a smile to the shut ins and nursing home folks. They loved the cards. your cards are so thoughtful and beautiful
Sent the cards to shut-ins, widows & widowers. I'm sure they will enjoy them.
I really enjoyed each one of the cards. The red in each card give it the extra touch; the scripture was perfect for each card. I've mailed one out to each of my single friends to celebrate our friendship all month long!

I've become very fond of Juanita's latin cafe since it opened in January last year. I like dropping in by myself for cake and coffee as well as taking friends there while we're out in Fitzroy. We decline dessert at whatever restaurant we're at and instead go to Juanita's for churros and hot chocolate. I noticed recently while walking past that Juanita's are now doing breakfast and I was determined to try it as soon as possible.
I'm thrilled to report that the Huevos Don Jose (above) is my new favourite breakfast. Two eggs are baked in a spicy tomato and chilli pilaf with chorizo and fresh basil. It's amazing. The Huevos rancheros (below) is equally fabulous. It features two fried eggs on soft tortillas with a spicy tomato and chilli sauce, delicious beans and a generous amount of avocado on the side. Both are satisfying and filling, reasonably priced and represent excellent value.
I still have not tried the empanadas, so I have a good reason to return. The staff at Juanita's are lovely and on the Saturday I was there enjoying my breakfast trade was brisk. I'm pleased that they seem to be doing well in these difficult times, and broadening their menu to attract more customers is smart business.

Cooking Corned Beef in Ginger Ale
I don't remember who suggested it and I know it was a while ago, but I finally got around to cooking a corned beef in ginger ale, as someone on this site suggested. Thank you! I literally just finished slicing it and couldnt resist trying a nibble. I know it wasnt the cut of meat, as it's my usual, and the only thing I changed was using ginger ale instead of water. So I just wanted to thank whoever suggested that method! This is the most tender juicy corned beef I've ever had! I may even be able to eat this stuff, which is a major big deal for me. It also has a slightly sweet gingery taste that really enhances the meat and cuts a little of the saltiness. I highly suggest everyone try this.

When I signed up months ago to run the Boston Marathon I was filled with that excitement I get every time I commit to a race. A chance to summon my strong "inner runner" and conquer a course. And there's "that feeling"…the one that greets you as you are crossing the finish line… sometimes it is accompanied by a sense of utter relief or an endorphin induced euphoria. But it is mostly a feeling of accomplishment for completing a difficult task. It is for that moment that I train. A high price to pay some may say. I don't agree. This reward is perfectly proportionate to the effort. Ask any marathoner. Boston, however, is the exception. The greatest effort is in making it to the starting line. It's this feeling and more.
So as I make the transition from maintaining to training there lurks my inner couch potato mourning the loss of 10pm ice cream breaks and sleeping in. In my world there is no angel and devil on my shoulders but there sits a fully trained runner on one side (in her skinny Asics tights) and a rounded middle aged woman (in her pajamas) eating a bowl of Java Chip on the other. I love them equally. Unfortunately there is no room for both enroute to the Boston Marathon. It's a tough race and I can no longer wait to get my groove on. 12 weeks of work ahead: long runs, speed work, lots of hills…and so much more.

More rain on the way as downpour brings floods
Posted: November 22, 2012|
YESTERDAY'S heavy rainfall, which caused havoc across Burton and South Derbyshire, is set to continue.
Paul Gilliver, from the Newhall Weather Station, said he expects at least a week of wet weather after rain caused flooding across the area yesterday.
Vehicles battled through flooded roads and outdoor activities were called off as a result of the conditions.
Mr Gilliver said: "It's typical weather for this time of year. I expect this month and next to be the wettest.
"This level of rainfall will carry on for the next week and we'll see some dull and miserable weather. We've seen the back of any nice sunny days. It's not very nice – I've got a lake outside my door."
Mr Gilliver also warned that we may see the return of frosty mornings after the wind changed from south east to north east, causing temperatures to plunge.
Yesterday, flood alerts were issued by the Environment Agency on lower Dove brooks in Staffordshire, including Rolleston Brook, the River Mease covering lowlying land between Ashby and Croxall, the River Swarbourne between Croxall and Yoxall, Foston Brook and Hilton Brook yesterday.
Roads were flooded in areas including Willington, Hartshorne, Newton Solney, Bretby and Burton, causing traffic chaos.
Derbyshire Fire and Rescue Service advised drivers to avoid Heage Lane, in Etwall, due to it being 'totally impassable' because of flooding.
It was closed by Derbyshire Police at 3.10pm after a car became stuck in the water, and was still closed as the Mail went to press.
Councillor Pat Murray, who represents the Midway and Hartshorne ward on Derbyshire County Council, was in Ticknall Road, Hartshorne, helping with flooding issues.
"It was like a river," he said. "Water was coming down the hill and, because of the amount of rain, the drains just couldn't cope.
"There were six residents and some council workers along with me and councillor Peter Smith and we tried to unblock the drains.
"Luckily, the council reacted well and brought sandbags quite early so the cottages in the road were not flooded. If they had left it any longer, the houses could have been under water."
Councillor Murray said he believed the road was so waterlogged it should have been closed due to drivers not slowing down enough to cope with the conditions.
He said: "It was very dangerous. I saw two cars that broke down because of waterlogged engines."
East Staffordshire Borough Council was forced to close all outdoor activities at Shobnall Leisure Complex, and the synthetic pitch at Uttoxeter, due to the bad weather.

We've seen it with countless phones and tablets before it, and here it is again – Ubuntu, running on a device that's supposed to be running Android. Mind you, it's not natively running the Linux distribution. Instead it's running the installation inside of what we'd call something of a virtual machine. If you know how those work, you'll know that these implementations aren't always as pretty as the real deal. In any case, it's great to see this thing booted up on what has to be one of the best Android tablets on the market this summer.

Equipment | Bomb & Gouge
Golf's $6 Billion Problem
GOUGE: The biggest problem in the equipment industry isn't how far the ball flies or even what grooves should be legal. No, the real devil is counterfeit clubs. They look like the real thing, but they smell like fetid cheese. And the reason they continue to exist is because we let them. Counterfeiters wouldn't be around if golfers weren't buying their products. How bad is the problem? One leading clubmaker plans to introduce a new iron in the spring that's already available online in counterfeit form. Despite the best efforts from manufacturers and authorities to combat this problem, they are scratching out only the most egregious offenders.
The problem starts when legitimate manufacturers rely on inexpensive manufacturing in China, where the lack of respect for intellectual property seems to be the national pastime. However, it doesn't help when consumers in our country buy things at prices they know are too good to be true. If the club isn't legit, it's likely to perform in an inferior way, and in the end it's going to cost the rest of us more money and hamper future innovation.
BOMB: Actually, partner, one of the problems is that fewer and fewer counterfeit products are available at too-good-to-be-true prices. The crooks have improved the cosmetics of counterfeits and have started pricing their copies more in line with lawful products to reduce suspicion. Today, counterfeit pricing tends to resemble a good deal rather than the bargain of a lifetime.
China's government hasn't done enough to reduce this problem and probably never will, but American consumers can't be excused, either. Buyers should know that if they purchase a new club on the Internet from anyone other than a reputable online golf store, there's a good chance it's bogus. Here's the real kick in the pants: If your counterfeit club breaks, or you're dissatisfied, and you send the club to a manufacturer, the company won't replace it or send it back. Why? Because its intellectual property and trademarks have been stolen. And it's not just clubs. Balls, bags, gloves--even golf towels--are huge categories for counterfeiters. It's why the annual figure for golf counterfeits worldwide is between $4 billion and $6 billion, according to Callaway Golf. That's right, billion.
So here's what I say to consumers in the market for new clubs: The only thing worse than that sick feeling in your stomach when you realize you've been duped is knowing that you've contributed to the problem.

At last, we have a gorgeous new spring/summer layout here at Carey Mulligan Online – a big thankyou to the very talented Laura for designing and coding it for us! I have been editing the pages and making sure that everything works properly, but if you come across any errors please let me know!
In Carey-world, news is relatively slow, aside from the recent rumours about her joining Sam Mendes' new project On Chesil Beach. This, along with the much-hyped Girl With the Dragon Tattoo and My Fair Lady have all yet to be confirmed, though we shall keep our fingers crossed that Carey lands at least one 😉
I hope you enjoy the new look!

|Robusto, Torpedo
|Brazilian, Maduro
|Dominican Republic
|More Details
A dark, rich handmade.
Made with a dark and oily Brazilian maduro wrapper, this flavorful, medium to full-bodied handmade employs a Cuban-seed, long-leaf blend of Corojo ligero tobaccos. After extensive cedar-aging, each ML3 produces a rich, deep series of espresso and dark chocolate, with a notable creamy element to the toasty finish.
Arganese ML3 received a bronze medal in the 2008 International Cigar Competition.
I bought a box of these here over a year ago and have been desperately waiting for them to come back into stock. These are absolutely fabulous. If you pace yourself, this is close to a two hour smoke. It is smooth and rich with a clean burn and no bitterness. I like to enjoy these on the weekend with my coffee. This is a cigar for sitting back and relaxing. It is well worth the money and time spent.
I got a sampler of these a few years back and was surprised at how much I liked them. They don't look like much, and they tend to burn lopsided but the flavor really grows on you. I found myself reaching for them over much more expensive sticks. So I am certainly glad they are back again. I was really rationing my last box.
Outstanding in this latest batch. 2013 looks real good fora resurgence of these classy smokes
Im new to the cigar world so I started off with the a few sampler packs. One of the packs was the 12 days of Christmas and ML3 was my fav. Ive tried a bunch more sticks since then...nothing expensive but ive kept thinking about the ML3. Through trial and error my choice of wrapper is a maduro and I feel the ML3 is the absolute best ive tried so far. As most of you know CI sample packs give a nice mix so I feel I have a much better sense of what I like. Being a beginner smoker I dont think I can tell the subtle differences in brands and blends but this one I absolutely love!
I have tried many like it that cost much more but it still remains the best cigar for me and Cigars International price makes it an incredible value. Thank you, I hope you can keep it in stock.
I love my Arganese Maduro's, but when I want top-notch enjoyment you can't lose with the ML3. It gushes with tasty oils chocolate and coffee. Yum Yum and they last 1-2 hours. So make time for full enjoyment...PHILO
I gave these to my dad for Christmas and he is in love. An avid cigar-smoker, he prefers Maduro Torpedos, but this one really thrilled his soul. He mentioned the depth of flavor and the quality smoke. I will order these for Father's Day too!
These turned out to be quite a pleasant surprise. I'd never even heard of this brand, but decided to take a gamble on a box of the Robusto size. First half was outstanding flavor! It got a little bitter after, but still not bad. I'm thinking of trying one of their milder smokes next. Highly enjoyed.
Good cigar; good value!
One of the best maduros on the market!
For the price it's definitely not bad. Parts of it tasted really mellow and creamy, other parts tasted a little harsh and dog poo poo-ish. It's a cheap cigar to give to your mooching buds. After aging 2 years it's not much better. For the price I would buy again. But only if the Nicaraguan 2nds, Ligero Laced 2nds, Factory Overruns, and Original Cubans were all sold out at the same time. Maybe I had a bad one, but I believe there are better and even cheaper options for better tasting smokes.

- A book can be studied in week-long increments. At the end of the week, the PC makes a read languages check (percentage chance equal to Greyhawk's "% chance to know spell"). If the check is successful, the PC gains a knowledge point in the particular subject, or some other benefit. If the check fails, no gain is made.
- Only one subject may be studied per character per game week. Also, only one week of study may be performed per each session played, so players that play more often will be able to make use of this more.
- Knowledge points are used in an identical manner to LotFP's skill points. Each PC has a base 1 in 6 chance of knowing something useful (to be determined by the referee). Each additional point earned through research represents an additional 1 in 6 chance of success.
- Subjects should be relatively specific, i.e. a specific monster or monster type, a specific type of potion (if trying to learn how to make one). "Magic" would not be a suitable subject, as it is too broad. Knowledge skills should never lend combat bonuses (like +1's, etc.), but they may give knowledge of certain monsters' strengths and weaknesses.
- I'm thinking 4 in 6 should be the maximum level of any knowledge skill, at least until the PCs are rather high level.
- The referee can of course modify any of these rules based on the circumstances at hand. For example, some very obscure arcane study that has a big payoff could require 4 weeks of successful research and significant monetary investment in order to gain but a single point of knowledge in that area. These are just meant as loose guidelines as a means for rewarding players that take the time to develop their characters in this way.
Here are some example subjects that PCs have already acquired books for that I would allow them to develop knowledge skills in:
- appraising art and fancy furnishings
- fishing
- ecology of oozes/slimes/jellies (would give a chance to know strengths and vulnerabilities)
- beginning magic for the mentally challenged (successful study and a minor monetary investment could perhaps lead to the learning of a random 1st-level spell or perhaps a cantrip).
- first aid (ability to make minor poultices, etc.)
Here is the read languages table I use, borrowed from Greyhawk:
Thoughts and criticisms are always welcome!

KINGSTON, R.I. -- September 20, 2000 -- A renowned guitar virtuoso and
frequent collaborator with the Dave Matthews Band will soon be filling
the University of Rhode Island's Edwards Auditorium with his unique sound.
As part of his first-ever national solo acoustic tour, Tim Reynolds will
perform on September 26 at 7 p.m. in Edwards Auditorium on URI's Kingston
Campus. General admission is $8 and student admission is $5.
Reynolds became acquainted with Dave Matthews when the two musicians
were beginning their careers. In fact, Reynolds turned down an opportunity
to join the popular Dave Matthews Band, instead opting for a solo
career. Although he does often record and perform with the band, he has
established his own identity, with such works as his recent CD, See Into
Your Soul.
Reynolds has been lauded as a master of every conceivable guitar technique,
including the expressiveness of the acoustic guitar. He uses the guitar
to create a unique harmonic, melodic, and percussive sound. His talents
include combining the simplicity of an acoustic guitar with the use of electronic
devices to create a hypnotizing effect and his trademark ability of improvising,
often alternating between intimacy and hard play.
He has also mastered the sitar, the 12-string guitar, bass, and electric
Reynolds has appeared on VH1's "Storytellers" with Dave Matthews,
and has traveled with and recorded the band's multiplatinum CD, "Live
at Luther College."
Reynolds is brought to the University by the Student Entertainment Committee.

Almost half of U.S. public schools are labeled failing under the federal No Child Left Behind law, compared with the 80 percent estimate President Barack Obama's administration cited as a rationale for changing its mandates, a study found.
The estimated percentage of schools that didn't show adequate progress toward passing state standardized tests of math and reading was 48 percent in 2011, a record and an increase from 39 percent in 2010, according to a report today by the Center on Education Policy, a Washington-based nonpartisan research group.
Obama and Education Secretary Arne Duncan cited the 80 percent figure this year in justifying a plan to offer waivers to the law for states that agree to abide by the administration's education agenda, including tying teacher evaluations to student performance. Congress is also considering a rewrite of the legislation. The lower estimate still shows the need for change, said Jack Jennings, the center's president.
"Whether it's 50 percent or 80 percent, the law is too crude a measure of what is considered failing," Jennings said in a phone interview. "The law is defective, and Duncan is right to want to change it."

GOODY, Ky. – The Belfry Pirates saw four players score in double figures and they controlled the game from the start to win the 60th District Tournament Wednesday night at the BHS gym.
The Pirates (14-9) defeated county rival Pike Central 63-53. The two teams had split their two regular season games.
Brett Charles led the way with 21 points, while Josh Robinson had 14, Tony Messer 13 and Sean Hurley 11 for the Pirates. Hurley swished in a trio of 3-pointers.
Messer led the team with nine rebounds, while Robinson dished out seven assists. Belfry had 10 turnovers in the game.
Robinson was clutch at the free throw line in the final quarter making 8-10 at the free throw line.
"I thought he (Robinson) was the best player in the gym tonight," Belfry coach Randy Casey said. "He helped us control the game. We wanted the ball in his hands. He knocked them down when we needed the points."
Belfry only led 13-11 after one quarter of play, but increased their lead to 30-19 at the half.
"We didn't make enough shots early, but then we got it inside," Casey added.
The Pirates led 46-33 after three quarters. Pike Central (14-16) tried full-court pressure in the fourth period, but Belfry was able to beat the Hawks across midcourt.
The Hawks cut the lead to 52-43 with just under 4:00 minutes left, but could never get any closer.
In the game, Belfry's Messer, a big 6-5 center, recorded the 783rd rebound of his career, breaking the school record of 782, set by Jonathan Wright. Wright graduated in the class of 2000. After the game, Wright presented Messer with the game ball as a "passing of the torch" gesture.
Messer has been playing with a gimpy ankle and has been wearing a brace. But he braved through the pain.
BHS was 19-45 from the field for 42 percent, including 4-10 from 3-point range. They made 21-29 at the charity stripe for 72 percent.
Pike County Central only made 37 percent of their shots making 20-54, including 1-8 from behind the arc. They made 12-23 at the foul line for 52 percent.
Ethan Blackburn led PCC with 12 points, while Mac Justice scored nine and Teddy Smith and Gaige Ray eight each.
Both teams will advance to the 15th Regional Tournament at the Expo Center. The pairings will be drawn on Saturday morning.
Score by quarters:
Pike Central (14-16) - Blackburn 12, Smith 8, Justice 9, Burnett 4, Elkins 6, Ray 8, Wesley 2, Clark 2, Turnmire 2.
Belfry (14-9) - Charles 21, Robinson 14, Hurley 11, Messer 13, West 2, Johnson 2, Copley 0.

What evidence is there that Homo erectus used fire? Why did they use it?
Litha, Tokyo, Japan
Dr. dig responds:
In 1988 archaeologists C.K. Brain and A. Sillen discovered fragments of burned bone in the Swartkrans Cave, South Africa. The bone was in layers dated to approximately 1.5 million years old, and belonged to a variety of animals including zebra and warthog. In the same layers were the remains of early man, including Homo erectus. Scientific analysis suggested that the bones had been cooked on a wood-burning fire; cooked meat is far easier to eat than raw meat. Burned plants and bones were also found in the Wonderwerk Cave in South Africa. They were approximately one million years old.

Sparging is a step at the end of the lautering process to extract much of the remaining sugars from brewing grains by adding additional hot water to the mash.
Homebrewers typically practice one of two methods of sparging:
- Batch sparging, or English-style sparging, involves completely draining the lauter tun of wort, leaving the grainbed behind. A batch of hot sparge water is introduced into the tun, stirred, and drained as well.
- Fly sparging, or German-style sparging, involves introducing hot water into the mash tun at the same rate as wort runoff. Fly sparging must be conducted very slowly to avoid compacting the grainbed. Fly sparging, if done properly, typically extracts more sugars from the grain than batch sparging.

Project Box Puller
Keeping Track of Vitals
For our regular readers, Project Box Hauler needs no introduction. For those who have just joined us, here's the Cliff Notes version of the series. We got our hands on an '01 Ford F-350 dually that spent its previous life as a Castrol Racing show car hauler for John Force Racing. The truck, fitted with a well-worn 7.3L Power Stroke, was showing 200,000-plus miles on the odometer and was in serious need of attention. The buyer got the fifth-wheel trailer with the deal, hence the name Project Box Hauler.

Your friends here at GT are giving you lot the first look...
There's nothing we like more than an enjoyable coming together here at GT, and this one has to be the ultimate.
One of our favourite online shows Steam Room Stories has a special visitor in their brand new episode – none other than Johnny Scruff, godfather of social dating app Scruff. Yes, you know the one.
And we've only gone and bloody secured the brand new episode as an exclusive, just for you, the loyal GT readers.
In the episode Johnny appears alongside regulars Adam Bucci and Josh Wise. Each is sat in their trademark steam room glistening, wearing nothing but a towel… we know, we know, but try to compose yourself.
Anyway, Adam and Josh can't believe their luck when they realise they're sharing the steam room with Saint Johnny himself, and understandably the guys get a little star-struck.
Johnny certainly enjoyed his time on set, though, telling us: "The experience was certainly steamy!
"Aside from the woofy eye candy, the guys couldn't have been any nicer and more welcoming.
"I received my BA in film production from the University of Southern California, so LGBT media is something that I've always been passionate about supporting through Scruff. I think the show is really well done, from the writing to the acting, and it will certainly brighten up your day if you are having a bad one!"
For the one person reading this who doesn't know (you should climb out behind that rock more often), Steam Room Stories began in 2010 on YouTube, and each webisode - it's a word, trust us - features a two minute comedy sketch staring the hot men of the steam room.
And like we said, we've secured you an exclusive look at the brand new episode, 24 hours before everyone else. We're too good to you, aren't we? So sit back, relax and enjoy.
Words: Aaron Golightly

Wingate coach to speak at Women in Business lunch
Ann Hancock, Wingate University's head women's basketball coach, will speak about doing what you love during a special luncheon Jan. 10.
As part of the event, Hancock will share her story and discuss pursing your passion even when you're not sure.
The event begins at 11:30 a.m. and runs until 1 p.m. at the Rolling Hills Country Club in Monroe.
"She was just a good fit for the presentation," Theresa Byers, director of events and programs for the Union County Chamber of Commerce, said.
Hancock is a local person and someone women can look up to, she said.
According to the Union County Chamber of Commerce website, the event is a Women In Business Luncheon titled "Are You Doing What You Love?"
On May 16, 2012, Wingate University announced Hancock's appointment as its head women's basketball coach. She is the fourth coach in the University's women's basketball history. She spent two seasons as an assistant women's basketball coach at East Carolina University and before that was the head women's basketball coach at UNC Wilmington for 10 seasons. She attended Wingate University in the past and in her senior year led the university in scoring with 19.9 points per game. She was the 1992 NCAA Woman of the Year for North Carolina and earned a NCAA post-graduate scholarship. She was also the university's first ever Academic All-America selection in 1990. In addition to these accomplishments, as a coach, she was able to lead the UNC Wilmington Seahawks to the most NCAA victories in school history, according the Union County Chamber of Commerce website.
The cost to attend is $20 for chamber members and $30 for non-members. For more information call 704-289-4567 or visit www.unioncountycoc.com.

It says it failed to open the setting.txt from the NAND, although I loaded the setting.txt from the SD card (pressed B and then A). Please help.
" (pressed B and then A) "
You did this on the same step, or you pressed B then after the formatter displayed the serial number it read from within the setting.txt on the sd card, you confirmed this and then pressed A?
It sounds like your trying to read setting.txt from NAND. Pay close attention, to where the NAND option is, because at one time its A, then another it's B.

could you please explain DVD part in settingedit?
i have a pal wii and i used this tool once without paying attention to setting part and now cant play games by dvd
no problem with usb games
i used ntsc formatter for my pal wii
could it be repaired by editing dvd part?
Hello all,
I posted back from 224-234 asking about reformatting the wii. After some discussion the black screen was thought to be either a bluetooth or a wifi module fail. Since then I have replaced both. I ran bootmii on boot2 and once again followed all the steps from post 1. All wads installed however the wii never resets. Any ideas?
Hey! really good tutorial. Is it possible to do this without a GameCube pad? cus i dont own one and dont know any one who does...
You need a gc controller for this, but you can do the same thing with the NAND.bin formater without a gc controller.

I am probably going to offend a lot of people, but I just cannot get on the bandwagon with the first book of this series. Sorry guys, I tried.
Great story. Great characters. Looking forward to book 2.
What can I say? I'm a Twilight fan. I first saw the book in a chain bookstore and was considering buying it for my niece who was a young teenager at the time. I started reading the book myself and that was all she wrote, so to speak. I couldn't put it down and I became an avid Twilight fan. I've read all of the books and seen all of the movies. I even participated in a fan website for awhile, but I've since let that go. I've re-watched the movies a couple of times as well. My niece, my sister and I saw the Eclipse Movie together in Chicago when it first came out. It was fabulous.....
To be honest I only read this because I wanted to watch the movies and I try to read the books before I watch the movies that are based on them.
I'm not a huge fan of Meyer's writing, I think it's choppy and bland.
Reseña: Enero, 2015
Después de tanto pensarlo y repensarlo (creo que no he leído un libro en mi vida sobre el que haya cambiado taaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantas veces de opinión), le dejo el 3.
Hay libros peores. Y sé que mi opinión importa un pito, pero me da pena como destrozan tanto a Meyer. ¿Se merece tanto odio? Hay peores escritores, más ofensivos incluso. Ella es bastante copada, en realidad (la mayoría de las veces, al menos).
Es decir, recientemente se ha descubierto que autores como Nicholas Sparks y Daniel Handler son una manga de homofobicos o racistas, y no veo que reciban el mismo nivel de desprecio que Meyer... (Y, obviamente, no me refiero a sus obras sino a sus personas.)
En fin, esta es mi reseña medio nostálgica.
PD: Y, ya que estamos, bastante imbécil y desconsiderado el Pattinson, ¿no? Definitivamente, se merece el odio irracional que recibe K. Stewart por nada en particular. Aguante Kristen Stewart!!!
Reseña del 2013:
Reseña de la Crepusculeana superada
Creo que nadie describe mejor este libro que Robert Pattinson ,así que usare sus palabras ya que nunca me moleste en hacer una reseña sobre el libro que dio origen a una triste moda de machismo y religión .
Robertito dice:
Edward Cullen es un maniaco depresivo que se odia a si mismo .
"El truco para interpretarlo es parecer ligeramente constipado y drogado
"Cuando lei Crepúsculo , me dio la sensación de que era un libro que no debia ser publicado"
"Edward es tan escalofriante como un asesino serial"
"Stephanie Meyer es incluso mas escalofriante que Edward porque claramente esta enamorada de su personaje .
Sobre la relación de Edward y Bella : "A ella obviamente le falla y a el también"
Creo que nadie lo dijo mejor .
(Esta reseña fue hecha gracias A cracked.com)
Ahora bien, ni bien lo leí, supongo que mi reseña era algo así:
ESPECTACULAAAAAAAAAR. Necesito el segundo ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Y, juro que ni bien iba sacando los libros de la biblioteca, me dormía tarde y me despertaba a las seis de la mañana para leerlos, comermelos en horas.
"Meyer's prose seldom rises above the serviceable, and the plotting is leaden" [....] "It's like reading a young teenage girl's blog"
Astonishing, mainly for the ineptitude of her prose. Teen vampire schlock that has the nation's youth in thrall.
[L]et me say to you as a meat-eating, Entourage-watching, sports-loving (OK, I really don't love sports, or actually understand sports) — heterosexual man who can't sit through a single show on Lifetime television, let me loudly proclaim: I, Brad Meltzer, love the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.
I confess, I have joined the legions of the bitten and smitten.
The plot may sound rather comic and camp, but Meyer chooses to play it straight and serious. Vampires or not, what this novel is really about is a fatal attraction to someone or something dangerously different from yourself. The trajectory of the story is such that Bella's behavior and choices grow increasingly more disturbing, with irrevocable, self-destructive consequences.

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0316015849, Paperback)"Softly he brushed my cheek, then held my face between his marble hands. 'Be very still,' he whispered, as if I wasn't already frozen. Slowly, never moving his eyes from mine, he leaned toward me. Then abruptly, but very gently, he rested his cold cheek against the hollow at the base of my throat."
As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he's a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship.
Meyer has achieved quite a feat by making this scenario completely human and believable. She begins with a familiar YA premise (the new kid in school), and lulls us into thinking this will be just another realistic young adult novel. Bella has come to the small town of Forks on the gloomy Olympic Peninsula to be with her father. At school, she wonders about a group of five remarkably beautiful teens, who sit together in the cafeteria but never eat. As she grows to know, and then love, Edward, she learns their secret. They are all rescued vampires, part of a family headed by saintly Carlisle, who has inspired them to renounce human prey. For Edward's sake they welcome Bella, but when a roving group of tracker vampires fixates on her, the family is drawn into a desperate pursuit to protect the fragile human in their midst. The precision and delicacy of Meyer's writing lifts this wonderful novel beyond the limitations of the horror genre to a place among the best of YA fiction. (Ages 12 and up) --Patty Campbell10 Second Interview: A Few Words with Stephenie Meyer
Q: Were you a fan of Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Angel? What are you watching now that those shows are off the air?
A: I have never seen an entire episode of Buffy or Angel. While I was writing Twilight, I let my older sister read along chapter by chapter. She's a huge Buffy fan and she kept trying to get me to watch, but I was afraid it would mess up my vision of the vampire world so I never did.
I don't have a ton of time for TV, and my kids get rowdy when I have on "mommy shows," but I do have a secret fondness for reality shows (the good ones, at least in my opinion). I always TiVo Survivor, The Amazing Race, and America's Next Top Model.
Ack! I can't even answer the movie question. I can't remember ever seeing a single vampire movie, outside of clips from Bela Lugosi movies on TV. I don't like true horror movies--my favorite scary movies are all Hitchcock's.

Ninja looting!
I have done it TWICE in this last week. I am a good looter even in FFA but I looted paldrones from SM by accident. We went through again and got them for the priest. I felt bad but ya get over it.
Later in Uldaman I looted a 2h hammer by accident. A pally could have used it but I was checking the loot out and pressed the button on the hammer when I wanted the mageweave. LOL It was AH bait for me but the pally needed it. I just said sorry but they keep crying about it and said I should give him some money for it. I said fek that, he can duel me for the money if he wants but I would beat him LOL!
Anyway admit your ninja looting mistakes for all to see.

I am currently a postdoctoral research associate in the Departments of Anthropology and Earth Sciences at the University of Minnesota. Previously, I was a Marie Curie Experienced Research Fellow in the Department of Archaeology at the University of Sheffield in England.
My research uses cutting-edge geochemical and geophysical characterization techniques to understand how human groups interacted with the landscape and made decisions involving resources and land use, especially during times of marked environmental, technological, or biological change. In my dissertation, I applied obsidian artifact sourcing as a means to reconstruct mobility and exchange networks throughout Northern Mesopotamia. Since then, I have co-directed and collaborated on several research projects in Armenia, the central theme of which is better understanding the lifeways of Neanderthals and other early humans in the Caucasus. To do this, I analyze their stone tools, crafted from obsidian found throughout the region, and interpret the data within a context of behavioral ecology as a means to examine factors in behavioral variability and cognition throughout the Palaeolithic world.
As an anthropological archaeologist, I am dedicated to a four-field approach to our discipline, and my teaching has incorporated the sociocultural and biological subfields whenever possible. As a lecturer in the Department of Anthropology at the University of Minnesota, I taught Anthropology of the Middle East and Geoarchaeology, and I also served as an advisor to Laboratory Techniques in Archaeology. Later, at the University of Sheffield, I developed and taught week-long courses that incorporated classroom and experiential learning through authentic research experiences. For example, I organized a field-based short course in Cyprus that taught students from throughout the EU how to conduct geochemical surveys to investigate how the inhabitants of a given site organized craft production. I have also contributed to the University of Connecticut's Field School in Armenian Prehistory and to field schools in Syria and New Mexico.
More generally, I am interested in issues involving natural resource access, provisioning, exchange, and use at varied scales (from supra-regional to intra-site) as well as the development and maintenance of social networks, mobility and provisioning strategies, settlement patterns, organization of space, spatial and social contexts of production, the development of culture, early human expansions, technological choice and change, experimental archaeology, lithic analysis, and human-environment interactions. My research has primarily occurred in Northern Mesopotamia (Syria and southeastern Turkey), the Eastern Mediterranean (Cyprus and Greece), and the South Caucasus (Armenia).
