When paying for anything, the best exchange rate is by using a credit card when possible. But many businesses in Germany do not accept credit cards. Most debits cards will work in ATMs in Germany. Check with your bank before you go. Be sure to call your credit card company and let them know you will be using your card overseas, and what dates. Some companies will block international transactions as a security measure.
We recommend that you have some Euros in cash for immediate needs. The Charlotte airport bank exchanges dollars to Euros as do large international banks downtown. Your own branch usually will do this for you if you can wait a week or so for your money.

While warmer weather may be on its way, many area residents could experience another dose of winter weather this morning as 2 to 4 inches of snow are predicted to fall throughout the region.
According to Sam Roberts, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Morristown, rain showers that drenched area neighborhoods were expected to move out between 8 and 9 p.m. Tuesday, and snow showers are predicted to fall early this morning and throughout most of today.
Roberts said Tuesday that a low pressure system is expected to move through the area and head toward the East Coast, allowing colder air to filter into the region. He said the snow showers are forecast to begin around 3 this morning, with the heaviest periods of snow expected between 6 and 11 a.m.
He said the snow showers are expected to stick around most of the day, but said "the good news is that exits pretty quickly and we're in ... store for a pretty nice warm up for the weekend."
Roberts said because of the heavy snow, today's morning commute could be messy.
"Hopefully by the evening commute, things will be (in) a little bit better shape than (this) morning," he said.
The high today is expected to be 37 degrees, with a low expected to be around 30 degrees.
On Thursday, temperatures are forecast to warm up, with the high around 46 degrees and the low Thursday night around 26.
Friday's high is forecast to be near 50 degrees, with the low around 25 degrees.
Saturday is predicted to be around 58 degrees, with the low around 33 degrees.
Roberts said this type of weather pattern is not too unusual for this time of year.
"March is that transition month between winter and spring, so (it's) definitely not uncommon to see ... heavy rain, a few storms followed by snow ... just a couple hours later. Pretty typical for this time of year," he said.

Here's a link on the Red Cross' efforts in helping those displaced by the flooding. Information on donations is included near the end of the story. http://www.redcross.org/portal/site/en/menuitem.94aae335470e233f6cf911df43181aa0/?vgnextoid=21ee782ee0942310VgnVCM10000089f0870aRCRD
It's all good ... but Herschel was in there already. (Every conversation about SEC RBs should begin with Herschel and Bo). ... Good point on McFadden, though.
We had a hard time figuring out where to place him or if to place him at all. Had he not been dismissed from his team (if he was judged strictly off talent) he would have been in the top 18. Since he was dismissed, we considered leaving him out altogether but I'm told some schools are still recruiting him. So we decided to include him in the best of the rest.
I didn't delete it. Must have been the site administrator.
Yes. Troy's Jerrel Jernigan was drafted in the third round by the Giants.
They're just players who were selected higher than where they'd been projected. No one outside each of these NFL clubs can presume to know what's on their draft boards and who they may like, and they make their own evaluations with no regard for what anyone outside their building thinks. But projecting and debating who might go where -- or "guessing," as you call it -- is part of the fun of the draft.
I haven't deleted anything. Must have been the al.com site administrators.
The time stamp shows when I started the post, not when it was published. I pre-wrote the background, leaving his choice blank until he announced, so I could post it as quickly as possible after he announced.
I didn't pick a push, but Florida and Tennessee hit the spread exactly. If that equals an L for me, my apologies. I've been known to throw a card or two, but I only do football in the paper. Much safer for the kneecaps.
Fairley was among the state's top prospects coming out of high school in 2006, and was included in the Press-Register's Elite 18 and Super Southeast 120 prospect rankings that year.
No, there were only two, Lacy's fumble and McElroy's interception. For some reason, however, the official stat book from the game lists Alabama with two lost fumbles. Therefore, when this column was sent in last night, editors changed it to match the official stats. Where the statkeeper conjured up a second lost fumble is beyond me. It's correct in the story now.
You're right, of course. It was Mike Guman. It was Matt Suhey on third down. My memory is worse than JoePa's. It's now corrected in the story.
It's correct in the media guide, but incorrect in a release they sent out yesterday.
You are correct and the LSU sports information department, the source of that information, was wrong. Duly noted and corrected.
And even my third-grader knows the difference between a computer issue and legitimate operator error. I'm getting my laptop situation addressed. Thanks for your concern.
While this story focused on insurance policies protecting future earnings against career-ending injuries, the NCAA does also provide catastrophic insurance that protects every athlete in any NCAA sport against such catastrophic occurrences as brain and spinal injuries or paralysis. That coverage is at no cost to the athletes.
As for the three-round limitation for the ESDI program, it's set up that way to protect against the possibility of an athlete failing to get drafted and still having a big loan to pay back. The last thing they want is for a kid to take out a big policy on himself, not get drafted, and then be saddled with a $20,000 loan repayment.
It's at the Convention Center. The error has been corrected.
Actually, I did speak with Dyer. His comments were published in an article I did on this website in late December. Malzahn may not have been the only reason for his decision to come to Auburn, but he was a major reason -- even to the point of Dyer saying he wasn't sure what would have happened had Malzahn not joined Chizik's staff. And I never said Owens' family ties were his only reason for choosing Auburn.
Of course, I also wrote that BCW did play a role in the decisions of other prospects like Jeremy Richardson and Eric Mack. Or did you miss that? You talk about giving credit where credit is due: Which part of "a recruiting class ranked fourth in the country" did you not understand?
The bird-hunting thing was a play on words. But if that went over your head, then I probably shouldn't be wasting my time by responding.
Duly noted and fixed.
Mathews isn't listed here as the first RB taken. I've got C.J. Spiller going to Seattle at 14. And the Giants signed Antrel Rolle as a free agent at safety. You can put down the pipe now. Thanks for playing.

The ground rules for our discussion?
- It had to be something we can justify covering -- MMO, MOBA, pseudo-MMO, or related topic.
- It had to be something shown in public, be it a demo or video or interview. If we can't talk about it and you can't see or read about it, we're not including it. Ahem.
- Every staff member and on-the-ground freelancer was permitted to chime in.
- We stuck to three big categories rather than create so many that every game could win something.
Bree Royce: I'm going to cast my ballot for Final Fantasy XIV. FFXIV came to E3 and delivered the goods as a triple-A MMORPG should, from heaps of trailers to demos to platform surprises and superstar Yoshida dueling with the press, never mind the game's appealing second-chance/underdog vibe. It may not be my kind of MMO, but that, folks, is how you E3.
Jef Reahard: I feel pretty good about giving ArcheAge best-in-show when it comes to MMOs. Even though other titles had more of a presence and more of an opportunity for hands-ons and whatnot, ArcheAge packed more gameplay, features, and polish into its minute-long trailer than its "competition" managed in 30- to 45-minute demos. And really it should be better at this point, both because it's more ambitious and because it's been brewing since 2006.
Shawn Schuster: The Division. I'm trying not to fall into that amazing-trailer-is-amazing trap, but this one features actual gameplay, and everything about it has me really excited.
Eliot Lefebvre: I'm going to give the nod to Final Fantasy XIV, specifically because Yoshida really needed to hit the ground running and make a big impression. By all accounts, he managed exactly that. The reports coming out of E3 about the game were positive, and E3 was followed quickly by a beta weekend that produced a lot more positive impressions. I might be biased, but that doesn't mean that I'm wrong.
Justin Olivetti: Oddly enough, I'm going with FFXIV as best in show. It got a lot of praise for what it's showing with A Realm Reborn, the new console UI looks slick, and the announcement of the PS4 version is a good sign for its future.
Mike Foster: I'm giving this to the PlayStation 4 instead of a game. Here's why: Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, The Elder Scrolls Online, War Thunder, DC Universe Online, PlanetSide 2, The Division, The Crew, EverQuest Next, and Warframe. If you're interested in MMOs and you're interested in console gaming, I don't see how the PS4 isn't your machine. Granted, not all of those games are exclusives, but Sony made a good case for itself with the folks who hang out in this niche.
Brendan Drain: The Division. There were a lot of new IPs shown off this year, but The Division was by far the most impressive. The holographic UI is incredibly immersive, and it looks like it'll be an open-world sandbox, but it was all the little touches that really sold it for me. The environmental destruction and the radio filter on voice chat really helped immersion, and I audibly squeaked when the guy pushed past the cop car door and closed it. Don't pretend you didn't too!
Andrew Ross: I'm tied between ArcheAge and The Elder Scrolls Online. AA is staying pretty true to what I already knew about the Korean game. I also know the people working on the game are very familiar with the Korean version, as they also fell in love with it before being able to even read the game text, and I know the starting area is the same; they frontload a ton of the features so I don't spend the first few levels killing rats for the millionth time. However, ESO's demo was just awesome. I literally lost track of time in that demo and was thankful I wasn't kicked out. The feeling of just exploring and finding things is something we've really lost in this genre, though maybe ESO's demo was chosen because it highlights this a lot better than the rest of the game.
Jeffery Wright: I would argue Final Fantasy XIV deserves best in show. Yoshida-san and team have definitely learned from the previous version of the game. Combat is more responsive, visual flair is decked out with 36 pieces, there's a stronger Final Fantasy texture, and battles are a helluva lot of fun. I love the FATE system, limit breaks are returning, and there's definitely a huge movement to the original FF feel.
Blake Cripps: The Division had one of the best demos from any MMO-type game at the show this year. I love the fact that it is on console and that it will have an MMO-esque experience system. The co-op play looks fantastic with the option of seamless PvP for those who want a competitive experience.
Bree Royce: I paid no attention to Destiny -- ho-hum, another console shooter, right? -- until the E3 trailer blew me away with its flowy Star Wars-esque shots. The fact that Destiny impressed me was my biggest surprise.
Jef Reahard: The biggest MMOish surprise for me was The Crew. I'm impressed by the fact that Ubisoft has apparently managed to deliver the entire United States as a seamless/zoneless driving playground, and I was blown away by how recognizable some portions of the game world actually were. I know, most traditional MMO players are probably yawning, but I've got enough dudebro in me to love a good racing title. I'm also excited to see a triple-A developer take a stab at expanding the genre beyond orcs and ray guns.
Shawn Schuster: Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade was a huge surprise to me because it's been tried before and I figured we'd all moved on. But I'm very excited for the possibility of the WAR40K IP being a real MMO one day.
Eliot Lefebvre: While Sony was busy eating pretty much everyone's lunch, it turns out that a surprising number of MMOs are going to be making their way onto the PlayStation 4. Considering this is the console that isn't strongarming you into a persistent internet connection, I'm admittedly rather surprised.
Justin Olivetti: ESO's announcement of multiple console releases. It's probably the single biggest MMO rollout we've ever seen, across four platforms (if we're including Mac). That probably bodes well for ZeniMax (as if the Elder Scrolls name isn't enough wind at its back).
Mike Foster: Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade. There were very few hints that this was a thing, and the announcement during E3 caught pretty much everyone off-guard. I'm also surprised there's a games studio out there with the hubris to think it can make a Warhammer 40k game that won't collapse into a pile of broken mechanics and half-implemented ideas. But hey, these guys did make Naughty Bear: Panic in Paradise, so everything will probably be fine.
Brendan Drain: The Division. I honestly don't know how Ubisoft managed to keep a lid on this project. The gameplay demo looked pretty far along in development and extremely polished. My only gripe is that a PC version hasn't been announced yet, but I honestly might get a PS4 or XBox One just to play this one game.
Andrew Ross: Biggest surprise is either Solstice Arena or The Crew. Solstice is just a solid MOBA experience. I am genuinely disappointed I couldn't play it when I got home from E3 and will be watching for an update for when I can play it on a non-Apple product. The Crew just came out of left field. I sucked at the demo, but I still wanted to do more, especially without a dev watching me the whole time in a room where I was being timed and would get kicked out.
Jeffery Wright: Biggest surprise was World of Warships. Even in the game's pre-alpha stage, the visuals hardly needed tweaking, and Wargaming.net has always brought an extreme level of authenticity to its titles. Since it's seen wild success with World of Tanks, and the World of Warplanes beta is hitting soon, I can only imagine that the dev team will combine the best of both games and integrate it into World of Warships.
Blake Cripps: I definitely didn't see The Division this one coming from Ubisoft. Wrapping all this up in a new IP is a really bold play. This could be game-of-the-year candidate if the story is any good.
Bree Royce: Another attempt at a Warhammer MMO-thing, really? I'm disappointed that the ex-Funcom folks at Behaviour are investing their time into a franchise that's already failed three times three different ways in MMO land, and this particular version doesn't seem like a deep, engrossing addition to the lineage.
Jef Reahard: I don't really have a biggest disappointment per se, unless we can break outside of MMOs and go with pretty much everything relating to the Xbone. In terms of MMOs, I was already underwhelmed by both WildStar and ESO (with the exception of the former's housing), and nothing I saw from E3 changed that. The rest of the MMO offerings were about what I expected. Nothing disastrous or disappointing, but nothing worth shouting about from the rooftops either.
Shawn Schuster: Black Gold. Boy was I looking forward to this one, but all reports seem to point toward this initial showing as a dud. I haven't completely given up hope on it yet, though. I like what Snail has done with Age of Wushu, and the game's art looks amazing. But if the gameplay isn't there, then I'll need to let the little excited gremlins in my head just move on.
Eliot Lefebvre: Nothing, really? It's hard to be disappointed when a game you have no interest in doesn't change your mind, and I wouldn't call anything that happened in the console throwdown a "disappointment." Hilarious, maybe.
Justin Olivetti: WAR40K being more or less just an endless battleground with little in the way of PvE content and questing is my biggest disappointment. It's such a rich and beloved universe, but the reveal made me feel as if it's being treated incredibly flippantly.
Mike Foster: The Elder Scrolls Online. Every time we get a glimpse of the game, it looks as if it's headed deeper into "Skyrim with some other people" territory. I was hoping to see ZeniMax make an effort to demonstrate what makes going online a necessity in ESO, but it just hasn't yet made the case.
Brendan Drain: Finding out that the playable XBox games on display at E3 were actually running on Windows 7 PCs. Some of these games won't even get a PC release, but they already run on existing hardware. Considering the fact that my gaming PC is significantly more powerful than either of the new consoles, I think it's an absolute travesty that some of the new games won't be coming to PC.
Andrew Ross: This just feels like a trap given what happened with my hands on, but I guess I'll be honest and admit it was WildStar. It's not just that it's an old demo; it was also one that I still feel doesn't highlight anything really new for modern AAA MMO players. A restrictive demo of housing or the Settler and Scientist path demo in general would have gone over better. Those stand out not just from other MMOs but other games period.
Jeffery Wright: I hate to admit it, but I was disappointed with the Warhammer 40K: Eternal Crusade project. It's a gigantic IP that's been popular for several years now, and to see it morph into an MMO can be an exciting thing, but will Behaviour be able to harness and translate it into something the die-hard fans want?
Blake Cripps: The Division, again. How in the world could this be my best-in-show and my biggest let-down? That's what Ubisoft gets when it makes a great game and doesn't put it on PC. The game looks as if it will play better on consoles, but there are a ton of PC gamers who'd love a chance to get into this game behind a mouse and keyboard.

Sadly, the preview isn't really for the next installment of the beloved film, but rather an imagined sequel we would line up to see.
The video mashes up some favorite moments from the original film with clips of the cast's other roles, including Alan Rickman as Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films, Liam Neeson exacting revenge in Taken, Colin Firth swearing up a storm in The King's Speech, Martin Freeman as a hobbit and, of course, Andrew Lincoln battling some Walking Dead zombies to get back to the woman he loves, played by Keira Knightley.
In short, it's the best "where are they now?" ever.

CIA Toyed With Osama Bin Laden Action Figure
By editor
Originally published on Fri June 20, 2014 7:29 am
Good morning. I'm Renee Montagne. Of all the ways the CIA has tried to fight terrorism, this is one of the strangest. The Washington Post reports that in 2005 a project with the codename, devil eyes, produced action dolls of Osama Bin Laden - looked just like him until the face paint flecked off, revealing a demon face. It was apparently intended to scare children away from following the al-Qaida leader. The project didn't happen, but one doll lives on at the CIA. It's MORNING EDITION.

John Mora has created a new Nashville Sex Offender Google Maps hack that is similar to the one that was created in Florida earlier this week.
Warning: This tool sorts hundreds of entries and can be a real drag on your computer's resources. I ended up getting a funky error from Firefox when I tried the link. It ended up working but slowed my processor down a bit as it chugged away..

Last week's developments in the New Black Panther Party voter-intimidation case from Philadelphia should have come as no surprise to observers.
A quick recap: on election day last year, several members of the New Black Panther Party, one of whom was a credentialed Democratic Party poll watcher, stationed themselves at a polling station in Philadelphia. They dressed in military-style fatigues, at least one of them brandished a club, and they engaged in "coercion, threats, and intimidation, …racial threats and insults, …menacing and intimidating gestures, …and movements directed at individuals who were present to vote." The men used racial epithets and boasted about how a black man was going to be president.
Well, the government suspected voter intimidation, a violation of federal law, and took the three men to court. The defendants refused to cooperate, not even bothering to show up, let alone offer any defense, so they were found guilty by default.
Right up until the Justice Department pulled a "never mind" and dropped all charges against them. The only sanction? One of them can't come within 100 feet of a polling place with a weapon again.
As I said, this should have come as no surprise — especially in Philadelphia. The "City of Brotherly Love" has become a place where such tactics are openly tolerated.
On election day 2006, Democratic poll watcher Carlos Mantos decided his district was 100% Democratic, and therefore the Republicans had no business even showing up. So he took it upon himself to ban Republican poll watchers from the polling stations. He thought so little of this action that he boasted about it to a TV crew:
Mr. Mantos's actions drew no sanction whatsoever.
Given that precedent, it is no great surprise that last year, the Black Panthers thought they could stand in front of the polls, armed, and inform everyone just how the election would turn out, without fear of legal reprisals.
They were right.
Perhaps in 2010 we can expect Philadelphia voters to be chaperoned into the voting booths by helpful Democratic "volunteers" to make sure they vote the right way.
And in 2010, nothing will come of it. At least, not from the Obama Justice Department.

No Undo Button on the iPhone & iPod Touch? Instead, Use Shaking Motions
The iPhone doesn't have an Undo button, which is something that many of us have wondered about and wished for for quite some time. But that doesn't mean you can't perform an undo or redo task on your iPhone, but what you do is perform a shaking motion with the iPhone or iPod touch in any place where you have inputted text.
There doesn't seem to be a favor for which direction you motion the phone, side to side or up and down works about the same, clearly a result of the devices built-in motion detection abilities.
So for entered text to 'undo', you motion the device around quickly to undo it. And for deleted text to 'redo' as if it was removed by accident, you motion the device around quickly to redo it. Make sense?
Admittedly this is a funny action, almost like it was modeled after the frustration people experience and sometimes physically exude when something has gone wrong, but it works quite well on the iPhone, and you can think of the shake as the mobile equivalent to the desktops Undo and Redo commands that exist in Mac OS X and Windows.
This was originally added with the release of iPhone 3.0 software along with the much desired copy/paste abilities, as far back as the iPhone 3G. It's quite unique, but the shake motion works well and is obviously memorable, and despite being introduced in an earlier version of iOS it remains more or less the same in the latest versions of iOS 7 (note: newer versions of iOS actually trigger a dialog window when motion has been detected, confirming the undo and redo actions and offering a Cancel option too if it was done by mistake. Older versions of iOS do not do that, and instead just perform the task as the motion has been detected). This tells us this method is here for the long haul, so get used to it, and have a little bit of fun the next time you need to have an action undone… now interestingly enough for tablets, iPad users do get actual buttons on the keyboard for undo and redo, so perhaps that will trickle over to the iPhone and iPod in time… we'll see.
You can learn about even more neat features and tips out there for the iPhone, check out many more here.

As soon as you see pre-orders are up, order. I did and have had my 3.9 CDs for a couple weeks now. For me, not wanting to build all the packages I use, I only wait until release day to download the rest of the packages (from a mirror).
Except that not all resellers are eqully fast. Neither of the danish resellers has announced having OpenBSD 3.9, and i'm not sure that they differs from so many other resellers. So i guess that one have to order the CD-ROM's from kd85.com or computershop.ca, to be sure to have them, on at least the release day.

Office Support / Office 365 Admin / Setup
Get Office set up for your users in Office 365
As an admin for Office 365 for business, you can make Office available to your users in several ways. Users can use their existing version of Office with Office 365, install the latest version of Office from Office 365, or you, as an Office 365 admin, can use the Office Deployment Tool to deploy Office for your users.
Why we recommend Office for your users
Some Office 365 plans include the latest version of the Office client. For these plans, users can install Office on up to 5 PCs or Macs with a single Office 365 license. Users can also access Office 365 email and Office files from many mobile devices.
Things to consider
Here are a few things to keep in mind about the latest version of Office.
Impact to users
A user can use the latest version of Office on up to 5 PCs or Macs for as long as the subscription is kept up-to-date, and the user connects to the Internet at least once every 30 days. If these requirements aren't met, Office goes into reduced functionality mode. In this mode, users can open and view existing Office files, but users can't use most of the other features of Office.
Skills for successful completion
It's easy for users to install the latest version of Office themselves. All you need to do is send them a link to the installation instructions. Users sign in to Office 365 and begin the installation process.
If you're comfortable with what's involved in getting Office set up for your users, you're ready to get started.
Get started
Here are the links to send to users.
There are other ways to get users up and running with Office without asking users to install it themselves.
Use Office Online
Users can start using Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote right away by using Office Online. This is the online version of Office that allows users to create and edit documents in their web browsers. Ask your users to visit Get started with Office Online in Office 365 to learn more.
Use the Office Deployment Tool to deploy Office
If you want extra control over how Office is installed on Windows computers, you can use the Office Deployment Tool to deploy the latest version of Office to your users. This tool lets you customize the installation. For example, you can decide which individual Office programs are installed for each user — such as only Word, PowerPoint, and Excel.
This is a more advanced installation method that requires editing a text file and running a tool from the Windows command line. To learn more, see Office Deployment Tool for Click-to-Run.
Use your existing version of Office
If users aren't ready to install the latest version of Office, they can use Office 365 with their current version of Office. All they'll need to do is sign in to Office 365 and run a program that makes some configuration changes and installs required updates. Ask users to visit Set up my current Office desktop programs to work with Office 365 for business to learn more.
Hire a partner to help you deploy Office
Hire a partner to help you deploy the latest version of Office to your users. You can find a list of partners in the Office 365 Marketplace.

Mountain biking adventure must-haves
Since the year 2000 extreme sports have become very popular in America. This increase in popularity in extreme sports has brought about new things that people just love to do to pass their time. Since Tony Hawk stole the show with skateboarding, a lot of other extreme sports like mountain biking has emerged from the dark. And due to this a lot of us now and then tend to go out on our own mountain biking adventure. Mountain biking is probably one of the hottest hobbies of a lot of teenagers around. Mountain biking involves a lot of skill and it can sure be dangerous if you are an amateur. For mountain biking, you basically need a bike and probably a bike rack channel to carry them along if you plan to go to a far off place. Lets take a closer look at mountain bikes.
The first and foremost thing you would need is a lightweight mountain bike. A lot of people just tend to take any ordinary bike modify it a bit and use it as a mountain bike. This is usually not a very good practice as these bikes have to be strong, rugged to tackle the toughest trails and the roughest of roads. As these bikes will be climbing up tough and steep terrain a geared mountain bike would most certainly be advisable. Suspensions on your bike would be an absolutely necessity as you would go through rough terrain. This would give you more control in rough paths as well as comfort. The build quality of a mountain bike must also be good as it would be tested physically to its limit. Mountain bikes may be slightly expensive but then they are worth every penny considering their safety features. Lastly you would need a bike rack channel. This would help you in carrying your bike over large distances on your car. These bike rack channels mount themselves to your SUV and fasten them safely to ensure it doesn't fall of.
So take off on a mountain biking adventure with the right accessories and live the extreme life.

The Gates of Maguuma Living World release introduced a new zone, new crafting materials and plenty of new rewards. This guide will help you sort out what is where and how to get them. Keep in mind that all of the rewards and loot are here to stay permanently. You do not have to rush to get them before the next Living World story is released.
Geode Merchants
Dusk and Kiena are two merchants that offer exclusive wares for geodes and a bit of copper and gold. To get geodes you can complete elite achievements associated with Gates of Maguuma, complete dynamic events around Dry Top or combine 10 piles of silky sand for a chance at one geode. If your particular instance is doing well they will offer more wares and also at a discount. These merchants sell recipes you can't get anywhere else and are the most reliable source of Zephyrite Lockpicks that are used in Buried Treasure Chests. To get all of their recipes, at the cheapest prices, will cost you 1,850 geodes.
Buried Treasure Chests
Buried Treasure Chests spawn at random locations across the Dry Top map during a sandstorm. These chests can only be opened with Zephyrite Lockpicks that are gotten from geode merchants or achievements chests. The chests will generally drop:
- Dragonite Ore
- 1-3 Geodes
- Scrolls of Knowledge
- Gilded Strongboxes
- Nomad Recipes
- Adventurer's Spectacles
- Adventurer's Scarf
- Lump of Raw Ambrite
Adventurer's Mantle
The Aventurer's Mantle is made by combining the Adventurer's Spectacles and Adventurer's Scarf in a crafting station. To combine them you first need to have similarly weighted items (light, medium or heavy) and a crafting profession that has 400 levels in the similar weight field (tailoring, leatherworking or armorsmithing). To combine them you need rank 400 helmet ingredients and the two Adventurer's pieces to discover the recipe in your crafting station. Combining all of them unlocks each skin for that item's weight.
Ambrite and Nomad's Gear
Ambrite is refined into Sheets of Ambrite which are used in making Nomad's gear (Toughness, Healing Power and Vitality). To get Ambrite you need to open Buried Treasure Chests or complete Gates of Maguuma elite achievements. Recipes for Ambrite can be gotten from geode merchants or found in Buried Treasure Chests.
Nopale and Prickly Pears
Nopale and Prickly Pears are found on Cactuses that are scattered through the Dry Top area. Nopale is the normal harvest and Prickly Pears are the rarer salvage. These two ingredients are used in cooking recipes that are bought from geode merchants.
Possible Future Loot and Rewards
There are a few items and recipes currently in the game that are unaccounted for. Here we will cover them and discuss where/when they might show up. Check back in the future for any updates on these.
Mystic Forge Recipe
There is a currently mystic forge recipe that is in the game that can't be completed. It involves the combination of 10 Geodes, a piece of Ambrite, a Mystic Coin and a Quartz Crystal. It is likely this recipe will make some upgraded version of a Geode or Ambrite for 500 level crafting in a future release.
Mini Mystical Dragon and Mini Llama
These two minis can be found in your collection tab but have not been discovered in –game. The Mini Llama could be part of a future Gem Store sale or an extremely rare drop from the Buried Treasure Chests. The Mini Mystical Dragon could be part of the next round of birthday gifts or be in a future Gem Store sale.

Bill Granger's crispy salt and pepper prawns come served with a simple tomato salad, they make a perfect starter or light lunch
Method1. For the tomato salad: Put the tomatoes into a bowl and mash lightly with a fork to release the juices.

4. Heat the oil in a wok to 190C, or until a cube of bread dropped in browns in less than 1 minute.
5. Fry the prawns in batches, trying not to crowd the wok, for around 2 minutes until they are just opaque. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.
7. Once the prawns are all cooked, deep-fry the sliced chilli in the oil for 1-2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on kitchen paper.

New signs mean share the road, not bike lane

Step 2: Putting line on a reel.
Image 2: Open The Bail Arm.
Image 3: Tie on line. This is the knot you tie: http://www.animatedknots.com/arbor/index.php
Image 4: Close Bail Arm.
Image 5: If you are a young beginner get a parent or a friend to put a pencil through the line holder so it will come off easier. Remember to keep the line tight when you are loading the reel to prevent kinks and twists.
Step 3: Mounting The Reel
Image 2: On most reels there is a line clip on the side. Clip the line in here for now.
image 3: On a rod, near the handle, there is a reel mount that looks like this.
Image 4: Slide the reel into the mount.
Image 5 Screw the mount tight.
Step 4: Bring Line Through Line Guides
Image 2:Put the line through the line guides.
Image 3:Close the bail arm when there is about a meter of line coming out of the top line guide.
Step 5: Attach Your Lure
Image 1: Tie on the lure. This is the knot I use with my rapala (pictured): http://www.animatedknots.com/rapala/index.php
Image 2: Cut of the left over line.
Image 3: You are ready to start fishing!!!!!
That's not the proper way to line a spinning reel. You should leave the spool on it's side facing up, then reel it in. (The way you show is for spincast reels) They are designed to reel in fresh line that way. And if it does get knotted or kinked just pull the knot out and flip the spool over. Later on it will be less hassle and less of a chance of your line getting all tangled up while trolling or reeling in.

St Austell Saints sweep aside a Berry tough outfit
Posted: February 06, 2013|
St Austell 47 Berry Hill 17
ST AUSTELL maintained their pursuit of glory in the RFU Intermediate Cup running in five tries at Tregorrick Park to sweep aside the dogged resistance of a tough Berry Hill outfit.
This victory against the Forest of Dean Club saw them win the South West Counties Intermediate Cup final and in doing so ensures a home tie in the regional final against Dorset side Wimborne on February 23.
The winner of that game has just one more hurdle barring the way to a Twickenham final in early May.
But on a cold afternoon in mid-Cornwall and urged on by their passionate home support St Austell made light of the heavy pitch as backs and forwards linked well to score some superb tries. However, they didn't have things all their own way.
After a bright start from the home side and two early Matt Shepherd penalties, Berry Hill finally got their pick and drive game going forcing a stream of penalties and a yellow card for St Austell flanker Paul Winterbottom.
Camped on the Cornish line they finally drove over from a five-metre scrum with Sean McRoberts claiming the unconverted try.
A moment of brilliant simplicity on the half hour mark from a lineout handed St Austell their opening touchdown as centre James Earp hit the line at pace carving open the midfield to score.
Five minutes later another flowing move from the Cornish side saw Alex Welland's break well supported by Sam Tank and the full-back cantered in under the posts for the try.
Shepherd converted both tries to make it 20-5 at the interval and he added his third penalty just after the restart, but Berry Hill were far from finished.
Their pack battered its way up to the St Austell line again and refused to budge.
With defenders sucked into the break down they finally spun the ball wide and wing Kingsley Bower capitalised on a huge overlap to score in the corner.
Shepherd blasted over another penalty but Berry Hill quickly struck again. St Austell replacement Mark Vian also saw yellow as they frantically defended their line, and the visitors drove over from close range for McRoberts' second try.
Aaron Ryder's conversion cut the home lead to 26-17 and Tregorrick Park grew restless before St Austell delivered a dramatic hammer blow with three converted tries in the final ten minutes to end the contest.
Flanker Adam Kellow finished from 15 metres after quick phase-play and good recycling and wing Marcus McCoan's pace then rounded off Tank's break from halfway.
Then in added time, St Austell broke out from their own 22, with Tom Miles leading a spectacular charge and Shepherd bagging the try. He then converted with the final kick of a pulsating contest to take his own points tally to 27.
Director of Rugby Steve Murley was delighted with the efforts of his young side and said: "That was fantastic.
"You spend all week preparing for the game and when Saturday comes you hope the guys will go out and turn up, and today they did that. I really thought they were excellent.
"Berry Hill are a good side and when you play against good sides you have to do something special to win the game. The boys knew that and they came up trumps. I couldn't have asked for any more from them."
Man of the match Matt Shepherd added: "It was very high tempo and heated out there. Berry Hill kept coming at us and we had the two sin-bins but we got the win and that was all we wanted.
"We cut some holes in their defence and while the forwards may not like it I think if the backs had been given more ball then we would have scored more tries.
"But the forwards did well, matched them up front, and we took it to them."

Live Stats: GoMatadors.com (Gametracker)
FOR STARTERS Fourth-ranked Cal State Northridge (18-7, 13-6 MPSF) wraps up the home portion of the 2010 regular season this week as the Matadors host UC Santa Barbara () and Penn State (20-9, 9-0 EIVA). Northridge and UCSB tangle in the Matadors' MPSF home finale Wednesday while the Nittany Lions come to The Matadome for a non-conference match on Saturday. Both matches begin at 7 p.m. in The Matadome. Northridge is still in the hunt to host an MPSF Tournament match, the MPSF Quarterfinals take place on the home court of the top four MPSF teams.
SERIES HISTORIES Wednesday's match between the Matadors and UC Santa Barbara is the 78th meeting all-time between the two schools. Northridge trails 42-35 in the series but has won seven straight over the Gauchos, including a 3-1 win at UCSB's season-opening Invitational on Jan. 7 and a 3-0 win at Rob Gym on Mar. 10. Saturday's match is the ninth meeting all-time between the Matadors and Penn State. Northridge trails 5-3 in the series and the two teams have not met since the 1998 season when the Nittany Lions won in three in The Matadome. The last Northridge win came during the 1993 season when the Matadors defeated Penn State in the NCAA Semifinals.
TO RECAP In their second match against a top-ranked team this season, fifth-ranked Cal State Northridge turned back No. 1 Stanford, 30-26, 21-30, 31-29, 30-27 Friday as senior Theo Edwards put down a team-high 17 kills. The Matadors, who fell at No. 1 Pepperdine in their first bid to unseat a number one team on Feb. 26, dealt the Cardinal their first loss in their last nine matches. Edwards, who rebounded from a recent string of tough hitting matches, led five Matador hitters in double figures with 17 kills (.316). Edwards had his best hitting night in terms of kills and hitting percentage since Feb. 17 at UC Irvine when he also had 17 kills while hitting .333. The senior also had 10 digs on Friday to post his second career double-double. In a three-set sweep over Pacific on Saturday, John Baker hit .667 with a match-high 17 kills as Northridge rolled to the 30-23, 30-23, 30-20 victory. Baker, who did not commit a single hitting error through the first two sets, wound up hitting .667 with 17 kills and one error in 24 swings. The redshirt freshman also added six digs, two aces and a pair of blocks. Seniors Kevin McKniff and Mike Gaudino also hit well as each had eight kills with McKniff hitting .727 in 11 swings and Gaudino hitting .500 in 16 attacks. McKniff also contributed four blocks (one solo) while Gaudino added one ace and six digs.
PAIR OF WINS PROPEL MATADORS BACK TO FOURTH IN AVCA TOP-15 Following a four-set win over top-ranked Stanford and a three-set sweep over Pacific, Cal State Northridge gained back one spot moving up to fourth in this week's AVCA Coaches Top-15 Poll. Northridge, which received a season-high 237 points on Feb. 1, earned 194 points this week and are now fourth for the first time this season. Stanford (16-5), which became the fourth team this season to hold down the top spot this season, remained number one for the fourth straight week despite falling in Northridge on Friday. The Cardinal earned 11 of 16 first-place votes while BYU (18-7) moved up to second picking up three first-place votes. Pepperdine (14-7) slipped to third followed by the Matadors and Hawai'i (17-8). USC (13-9) is sixth followed by UCLA (14-11), Long Beach State (12-13), Penn State (20-5) and UC Irvine (12-13). Loyola-Chicago (18-3) and UC Santa Barbara (11-14) tie for 11th while Ohio State (16-7), UC San Diego (8-17) and Ball State (14-9) round out the top 15. Northridge has now been ranked in the AVCA Top-15 for 147 consecutive weeks. The last time the Matadors did not rank among the nation's top-15 was the first poll (Jan. 15) of the 2002 season. By earning three number one rankings this season, Northridge has spent a total of six weeks as the number one team in its history.
CAREER RECORDS UPDATE Several Matadors have made inroads on the career charts during the 2010 season. Senior Kevin McKniff has moved up to third in career aces (113) and is fourth in total blocks (382). McKniff is also fourth in block assists (351) and is second to teammate Jacek Ratacjzak (.454) in hitting percentage (.453). Fellow senior Mike Gaudino has moved into fourth in aces with 110 and also ranks sixth in digs with 713. Senior libero Ali'i Keohohou now ranks third with 878 career digs and is first in digs per game averaging 2.44 in his career. In just under two seasons, sophomore setter Matt Stork already ranks sixth in career assists with 2,809.
MPSF TOURNAMENT CHASE Stanford (13-5) and Pepperdine (12-6) are the only two teams that control their own fate for the MPSF Tournament's number one seed. Those two teams, along with BYU (14-6), the Matadors (13-6) and Hawai'i (13-7) have locked up tournament spots with the top four spots to be sorted out over the next two weeks. Northridge would guarantee a spot in the top four, and host a Quarterfinal match, with wins over UCSB on Wednesday and at BYU (Apr. 16-17). Stanford and Pepperdine meet in a key match on Friday.
NORTHRIDGE NOTES After not playing in four of the Matadors' previous 10 matches, junior Tanner Nua came off the bench against both Stanford and Pacific last week with solid results. Nua tallied 11 kills against the Cardinal, the most he had in a match since putting down 15 at UC Irvine on Feb. 17. He then added four kills while hitting .333 in limited action against Pacific. Nua is closing in on 200 kills for the second straight season ... Senior Mike Gaudino also had a solid week as he pounded 19 kills in two matches while hitting .474. Gaudino also matched his career-high with 18 digs in the four-set upset win over No. 1 Stanford ... Junior transfer Justin Burridge and redshirt freshman Jared Moore made their first appearances for the Matadors against Pacific on Saturday. Both came on in the final set with Burridge posting a kill in two swings and Moore recording two kills in three attacks. Both also got in on a block as the Matadors won in three ... After a rough outing against Stanford, John Baker bounced back to nail a match-high 17 kills against Pacific.
SCOUTING UC SANTA BARBARA (11-14, 8-11 MPSF) With three conference matches remaining, the Gauchos are currently in ninth place in the MPSF, one-half game behind eighth place Long Beach State. UCSB plays at Northridge Wednesday and hosts Penn State Friday. Junior OH Jeff Menzel leads the Gauchos and the MPSF in kills averaging 5.35 kpg. Menzel has a conference-best 535 kills in 100 games this season. Junior OPP Cullen Irons adds 3.26 kpg for the Gauchos who are hitting .277 as a team. The Matadors have won 16 of the 30 matches against UCSB all-time in The Matadome dating back to 1978.
SCOUTING PENN STATE (20-5) The ninth-ranked Nittany Lions travel to UC Santa Barbara on Friday before heading to Northridge on Saturday. Penn State is halfway through a six-match road trip having beaten No. 15 Ball State (3-2) and IPFW (3-1) and lost to Ruthers-Newark (3-1) to open the trip. Senior middle Max Lipsitz leads the nation in hitting at .534 while averaging 3.64 kpg. Senior OPP Will Price leads Penn State averaging 4.40 kpg while sophomore OH Joe Sunder adds 3.90 kpg. Penn State is hitting .336 as a team, third-best in the country. The Nittany Lions have split two matches in Northridge.

Internet outage affects local businesses
On Tuesday and Wednesday, a cut fiber line disrupted Internet and phone service for businesses throughout the Knoxville area, including Sevierville firms such as The Mountain Press and Atchley Funeral Home. The outage affected customers of Windstream Communications, a Little Rock, Ark.-based provider.
Service was disrupted beginning at 4:20 p.m. on Tuesday. It was restored at 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday.
"Our folks worked through the night to try to identify the problem," said Windstream spokesman Scott Morris. "They were able to track it down and reroute the traffic to restore service."
The fiber cut occurred in Ooltewah, 19 miles east of Chattanooga. That fiber section is operated by a third party, Morris said. "The work was complicated by the fact that the damage that occurred was not on our network."
Morris could not specify how many customers were affected. "It was a large number," he said.
During the outage, Atchley Funeral Home co-owner D.J. Atchley said a backup plan helped his employees and customers stay connected. Phone calls were forwarded to an answering service, and the company used Verizon's wireless data service.
His business was, Atchley said, "running just like we normally do."

By Rudi WilliamsAmerican Forces Press Service
MONTGOMERY, Ala., Feb. 24, 2005 Human resources specialist Linda K. Stouffer said when she visits college campuses, she tells students the Defense Department is "the 'employer of choice,' and our job is to support America's defense around the world."
Stouffer, who works for the DoD Civilian Personnel Management Service's Defense Applicant Assistance Office, said DoD has jobs "from A to Z."
"When you see a DoD sign at a job fair, that doesn't mean you have to wear a uniform and join the military," Stouffer told a large gathering of university presidents, administrators and students here at the DoD technical assistance workshop at Alabama State University here Feb. 23. "DoD has more than 700,000 civilian jobs around the globe.
"We try to encourage students to work for DoD as civilian employees and to understand that if they want to join the military, supporting our nation's defense in uniform is the most awesome job they could ever have," she continued. "But they could also support our nation's defense around the globe in a civilian capacity."
The Defense Applicant Assistance Office came into being in 2003 to be a resource for anyone who wanted to get more information about civilian jobs in DoD, Stouffer said. "We have advisers available to help people in their job search process -- to talk to them and explain information on various job announcements," she noted. "We also connect them with other recruiters in DoD."
Stouffer said her office looks for events to spread the word about its existence, particularly minority events such as the DoD's African-American History Month Outreach events at Alabama State University.
She said her office comes under the deputy assistant secretary of defense for civilian personnel policy. "This office wanted people on staff who could answer questions for students and anyone wanting information about DoD jobs," Stouffer noted. "That way, they could pick up a phone and have a live person to talk to. Or they could send us an e-mail and they will get an immediate response."
Stouffer said advisers will discuss job search process; provide information about DoD vacancies, occupations and missions; assist with questions, applications, forms and status of applications; explain DoD job terminology; and provide a connection between job seekers and recruiters.
She said it's helpful for students to know what states have the highest concentration of federal civilians who work within DoD. "Our Top 10 states are Virginia, California, Texas, Maryland, Georgia, Florida, Pennsylvania, Washington, Ohio and Oklahoma," Stouffer said. "So the message to students is, the more mobile you are and the more willing you are to relocate to where that job is, the better opportunity you will have."
DoD has 6,000 offices and installations in every state around the country and in 146 countries around the world. DoD's three military departments and 16 defense agencies recruit on many college and university campuses. The Defense Applicant Assistance Office is the central point for marketing DoD-wide civilian employment opportunities, she noted.
"Out of about 800 occupations within the federal government, you'll find jobs in DoD in about 700 of those occupations," she noted.
The most critical skill needs for DoD in the next two years are engineers, administration/program management, education, security and protection, accounting and budget, information technology and physical sciences, according to a Partnership for Public Service study.
DoD components also offer many intern, co-op and entry-level professional development career programs, as well as support for graduate fellowships and scholarships in career fields where there is high demand for well-qualified candidates, according to Stouffer.
She pointed out that the internship program doesn't always mean just a summer job. "These are entry-level full-time professional jobs," she noted.
Job seekers can visit the office's Web site, or call (888) DoD-4USA (363-4872) toll free. The TTY number is (703) 696-5436.

All I had heard about this movie is that it's about a man who gets younger, rather than older. And that is an important part of the film…but it is far from the crux of the film. The film, at its true heart, is a love story, which is well-done, not contrived and very well plotted. This surprised me for several reasons. David Fincher is not exactly the "go to" guy for your Hollywood love story. He's a action/thriller/gritty/dark director who's films always have an edge. Here, I feel Fincher's edge is the fantasy of the aging backwards gimmick, since the love story he creates is simple and gentle…a touching masterpiece of on-screen romance. This is the type of love story you would see with Tracy and Hepburn…magical and real. It reminded me a little of William Wyler's Roman Holiday, which, like this film is known more for another aspect of the film (in Wyler's case, his movie is known more for being a comedy) than for the more touching, more vivid true sentiment of the film. Fincher's fantasy aspect adds emphasis to the love story, just like Wyler's comic aspects of Roman Holiday accentuate the doomed relationship between Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn. In addition to this multi-layered story, the performances by Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett have never been better…especially Pitt, who convinces us every step of the way that he really is a man who was born old and will die young.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. – The two-time defending Western Athletic Conference volleyball champions got back on the court for the first time this season on Saturday as the New Mexico State volleyball team played its annual Alumni Match inside the Pan American Center.
The current Aggies beat a feisty alumni team in five sets, 19-25, 25-22, 27-25, 23-25, 15-10. Among the former NM State greats playing for the alumni team was 2013 WAC Player of the Year Desiree Scott and Aggie all-time kills leader and former All-American Stevi (Adams) Maytubby.
"We saw a lot of good things, a little messy at times, but that happens in these types of matches," Aggie head coach Mike Jordan said. "We played a lot of different lineups and everybody got a chance to play. Some players improved their stock, others struggled a little bit."
The alumni team won the first set, but NM State came back to take three of the final four sets, including the second and third set. Led by the middle bigs, including redshirt freshman Sasha-Lee Thomas and junior Gwen Murphy, the Aggies closed the match with a 15-10 win in the final set.
"Our middles did a good job, Sasha and Gwen did a good job in the middle," Jordan said. "(Jordan) Abalos and (Kassandra) Tohm did a good job at times, especially for freshman, and our defense did a solid job. I was fairly happy with the way we passed-serve-received, all in all a decent match."
NM State begins regular-season play on the road next week when it travels to Salt Lake City, Utah, to participate in the Utah Tournament Friday and Saturday, Aug.29-30. The Aggies begin the season with a match versus Missouri State on Friday and then play two matches on Saturday, first against Montana State and then versus host Utah.
The WAC champions then return home to host their own NM State Tournament Thursday through Saturday, Sept. 4-6. The first home match for NM State will be on Thursday, Sept. 4, versus North Dakota State beginning a 7 p.m. (MT) inside the Pan American Center.
Remember season tickets are now on sale for only $50 at the Pan American ticket center or online at www.ticketmaster.com. Kids 12 and under are free for every Aggie volleyball match. For ticket information call the Pan Am ticket office at 575-646-1420.

Vance-Granville campuses to be closed on Thursday
Jan. 29, 2014 @ 07:21 PM
