Gallery Glimpse: 'Desert: Bohl, Borein and Burr' at ASU
In "The Desert," you can see how people who weren't raised in such an environment viewed the land.
"When you think of the word 'desert,' it's vast and empty," curator Jean Makin says. "But these people found it full of beauty and dramatic landscapes, and these artists all discovered that beauty in different ways.
The exhibit features the work of Walter E. Bohl (1907-1990), Edwin Borein (1872-1945) and George Elbert Burr (1859-1939).
"Two of these guys were working around the turn of the century," Makin says. "You have to remember that, back then, there was even less out here than there is now."
For example, Ohio native Burr didn't move to Phoenix until 1924.
"There weren't the big metropolitan areas you now have," Makin says. "The vast landscape made even more of an impression than it does now."
Burr's work is heavily featured in the exhibit, which boasts 34 prints. Makin is especially fond of his work.
"He has such dramatic landscapes, showing night skies as well as storm skies," she says. "Those vistas are not something you see on the East Coast. There's something very different and beautiful about a Southwest sunset."

The Dark Knight Rises Chuck Taylor
Style is very subjective. However, one thing is for sure, no matter who you are, and that is that the Chris Nolan Batman movies are easily the best of any director, though Tim Burton's still has a place in our heart. And yes, the final Batman, "The Dark Knight Rises", releases this month. Everyone, including their mom, expects the film to break box office records, which might have already happened since the tickets went on a sale a few weeks ago.
So if you're a die hard fan, and don't care much about how well they pair with your outfit – more the fact that they sport something Batman slathered all over them – you should probably pick up a pair of these Dark Knight Chuck Taylors. Printed on the canvas is a scene pulled directly from the movie, so in theory you can buy them now and be a part of the film before it even hits the big screen in a few weeks time.
According to Hypebest there is a QR code embedded on the label. Scan it and you'll be automatically redirected to a website that will provide you with access to exclusive online comic book downloads.
The Dark Knight Rises Chuck Taylors are available only at Journeys for $59.99.

It's snow joke: Crowds throng park for one and only chance to play in the white stuff
Last Saturday, the forecast called for 100 percent chance of snow in Golden Gate.
It was also sunny and warm, with the mercury reaching into the 80s. The "snowfall" took place in Golden Gate Community Park, where Collier County Parks and Recreation put on their 27th annual Snowfest.
An estimated 15,000 people thronged the park, shuttling up from Calusa Park Elementary School in school buses to accommodate all the cars. Workers created approximately 100 tons of snow, starting at 3 a.m. to finely grind the ice used to create snow hills and the toboggan run.
Long lines formed for the children to spend a few minutes frolicking in the white stuff, with separate hills provided for the various age groups. Mittens and scarves, which had sat unused in drawers all year, came out, as young children, many of whom had only ever seen snow in a book or on TV, got as close to the feel of playing outside after a blizzard as you can come in Southwest Florida.
The palm trees provided a surreal backdrop to the sight of hundreds of kids playing in the snow. Moms and dads in shorts, sleeveless tops and flip flops encouraged their bundled up offspring to climb up the three-and-under snow mound, helpfully making snowballs for them and occasionally taking a potshot with one at their own children. For most of the kids observed, that seemed to be the primary impulse, immediately on getting into the snow – to pack an icy snowball and throw it at someone you knew, preferably a close family member.
Olivia Alarcon, 5, climbed to the top, and held her arms aloft like a victorious prizefighter, with each gloved hand clutching a snowball. Her mom, Alexis, and little brother Dominic provided appropriate targets, and they replied in kind. The parks and rec staffers regulating each group's time – three minutes – in the snow and raking it in between each visit tried to keep the children, and their parents, from tossing snowballs, but it was an uphill battle.
The biggest draw at the park was the toboggan run. Many parents rode along with their young children, and not necessarily just to keep the youngsters safe. Ray Cruz admitted he enjoyed the whoosh down the slope as much as his son, Michelangelo. Christina Cruz wore a ski cap, just in case the temperature suddenly dropped by 50 degrees.
In addition to the piles of snow and a chance to try ice skating, Snowfest featured a full-blown midway and fair. A Ferris wheel offered an aerial view of the site, and a smaller one provided a ride for small children. Mothers stood alongside their children as the carousel whirled around. Brock Bademli, 4, took a turn around the field on the world's gentlest pony, and proudly announced to his parents afterward that he hadn't fallen off, as though they hadn't been watching him every second.
On the stage set up on the softball field, karate and dance exhibitions alternated with live music. The Irish dancers of Kellyn Celtic Arts were lords and ladies of the dance, stepping to tunes including "Christmas in Killarney," and seasonal favorites such as "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth."
Kids soared skyward on the bungee trampoline, or created sand art and handmade tree ornaments in Santa's Workshop. Luckily, there was lots of snow, as the warm tropical breezes were steadily turning it to water underfoot. For those who remember going through a long northern winter, the day in the park provided enough slushy snow to last all year long.

The Greek traveler, geographer, Pausanias from Magnesia (115-180 AD), visited Sikyon around 150 AD. In his books gives not only his personal observations on monuments of art and architecture but also topographical and historical information, as well the religious cults and the opinion of the natives of the places he visited. Later in his life, he settled in Rome, where he composed from his notes the "Periegesis" (Tour of Greece) in ten books. In book II describes Corinth and Sikyon. The accuracy of his descriptions have been proved correct.
Pausanias came to Sikyon from
Corinth. Close to the Gate of the city, he saw a spring whose water was
coming from the roof of a cave, the so-called "Stazousa"
(dripping spring).

Phoenix Gold Scion FR-S is a $1,350 Surprise Stunner
Over the last few years, we've seen a lot of amazing builds featuring Phoenix Gold amps, subs and speakers. But, one show car has come to our attention lately that really sets itself apart - not because of its elaborate or massive in scope, but because of how efficient and effective it is. Just take a look for yourself...
Built by Newport Autosound for the Phoenix Gold Builders' Challenge, this 2013 Scion FR-S is the very definition of subtlety, style and sophistication. Done up in bright sunburst yellow with a black and charcoal interior, the FR-S has a streamlined, 5-channel audio system consisting entirely of Phoenix Gold Ti2-Series and is wired completely with Stinger.
The two biggest surprises - and the best testament to the quality of the build - is how extraordinarily loud and clear the sound is, and how little the Phoenix Gold gear inside it costs. In fact, when the vehicle was shown during the 2013 Consumer Electronics Show, a Phoenix Gold dealer from Louisiana said, "Wow! That sounds amazing! I can't believe there's only $1,350 of Phoenix Gold product in there. It sounds like a $3,000 system." This was a sentiment shared by many of those lucky people that got to enjoy this car at CES.

Let's go boys!
"(I) think about 'The Lion King,' Simba gets hit over the head and (he's told) 'the past can hurt,' " Harbaugh said Monday afternoon. "'You can either run from it or embrace it and learn from it.'
Great start for Stauskas
Oh look, we're in another hole.
Another slow start. Awesome.
There is really no need to step out on GR3 any more..he never hits it
It is becoming a trend.
Stauskas was also clearly fouled on that drive though, typical Big Ten homecooking from the officials.
This game scares the shit out of me. I just have a bad feeling they're going to lose this one.
Just turned it on, but only down 3. Just overreacting already or a slow start?
Meh, it's an open thread. If we're not up 30 after the first four minutes it's a slow start.
Wouldn't be an MGoBlog game thread without some good old-fashioned overreaction. We can get whatever shot we want at the moment, just have missed a few open threes or we'd be up.
Kind of a slow start, but I'd say everyone is completely overreacting already.
I seriously hate college basketball officials. Why the fuck is it seemingly impossible for these guys to call a fair game? I love college basketball, but the homecooking is one aspect that I despise.
FirstRow. Always FirstRow.
Man, GRIII can't buy a jump shot lately. Hopefully he gets it out of his system before the tourney.
For some reason it takes us a bit to get revved up. I don't like it but we're good. Purdue is jacked right now.
for a "welp"?
He fouls people very easily
Wow great refs here.
2 horrible foul calls.
Oh the ball didn't go in? Must be a foul on Morgan.
I just finished my last midterm, and my classes are cancelled tomorrow. If this keeps up, I'll have hit the trifecta for "reasons to drink heavily on a Wednesday night".
Can we hit a shot? Can't let them think they have a chance by not hitting the broad side of a barn to start the game.
Someone's gotta get to the damn cup
Purdue has some terrible sounding rims
GR3's most impressive ball handling of the year right there
Last game, we saw what happens when Stauskas and Levert are both on. Right now, we're seeing what happens when they're both off.
They're shooting 60% form three, we're shooting 18% overall...yeah, pretty much sums things up.
So we're back to the games where we can't hit shit and the other team all of a sudden becomes a 3 point machine.
So they finally call hold on our cutters
Wow does this team ever love digging themselves in holes at the beginning of games.
I think these refs are MSU fans
I don't think Spike even stepped out.
Well this couldn't get any worse. Team doesn't get enough stops to get down early on the road.
They look out of sorts right now.
Is it too much to ask for some effort on defense? I swear it seems like this team is not trying on that end of the floor at times.
There's complaining about refs.
If the shots aren't falling this can happen
You can pretty much say that about the game of basketball in general...
Is that the thing about all offenses?
What the hell. I hate these sluggish starts. Wake up.
Looks like our defensive gameplan was to not close out hard and protect against the drive. Not going well when they're making every shot.
Just start every game down by a dozen.
It's all for ratings. #wowexperience
Welp, just tuned in. I see we're still doing the slow start thing. On pace for 12 first half points? Excellent.

Outeredge Small Double pannier £34.99
Lightweight panniers for occasional use, but not a commuting or touring option
Weight 600g Contact www.todayscyclist.co.uk
Previous Review
Next Review
Outeredge's small panniers are just right for light loads, club runs and seatpost mounted racks like the ETC with pannier frames. However, while having some nice touches such as rain covers and surprisingly effective mounting kit, they're not tough enough for regular commuting, let alone touring.
Thin nylon construction is supplemented by a sturdy mounting plate and sensible hooks commonly found on more expensive commuter panniers and the contrasting corn embroidery looks very attractive into the bargain. Inside the main compartment of each 14 litre bag is a waterproof inner with draw- string closures and a day-glow waterproof roll top cover to keep the elements firmly outside.
Fit seems generally universal with the nylon hooks enjoying secure purchase on most diameter rack tubing from oversized tubular steel through to more modest alloy variants and while feeling a little low rent, the elasticated S hook delivers reliable purchase in most conditions. The main compartments will swallow a lightweight U lock, training jacket, Digital cameras, spare tubes, food and other nick-nacks while the smaller pocket plays host to the rain cover and but makes a good stash point for keys, multi-tools, wallets and anything else needed at short notice.
While the materials-especially the unlined base feel very thin, they stop short of being flimsy and have resisted the advances of bramble and other aggressive foliage surprisingly well and so long as you bind the elasticated cord tightly, there's surprisingly little sway. By the same token, they're easy enough to remove and carry about thanks to sturdy straps but I am partial to mounting LED lights on bags and was disappointed not to find an integral loop.
Spend a bit more and invest in a small pair of waterproof panniers with welded seams for more regular use/commuting or indeed weekend touring but for club runs or situations when some extra carrying capacity is needed but without the weight penalty these hit the spot.

Tell us how the product performed overall when used for its designed purpose
These small panniers have been surprisingly good for day runs, twenty eight litres being fine for most, although the absence of a solid base sees heavier items such as U locks make their presence felt. However, even with a quite heavily laden bag sway is minimal and the rain cover very practical. However, an LED tab would've been nicer still.

Candidate Interview
Describe 2-3 specific leadership experiences which have prepared you to serve as an International Officer.
During the 2012-2013 school year, I served as President of the Alpha Lambda Alpha Chapter. While this position required a great deal of time and commitment on my part, it also provided a great deal of reward. Prior to me becoming president, the chapter was elected Executive Chapter of the Florida Region. In this new position I was not only tasked with leading my own chapter, but also all the chapters within my region. I worked diligently with my chapter advisors and our Regional Coordinator on numerous occasions to ensure the region's current needs were met and attainable goals were created for the upcoming year. One of the biggest challenges was getting everyone involved. One goal we created for the year was to get the region together and on the same page. My personal mission was to achieve this goal within the chapters of my own college. Hillsborough Community College has five campuses throughout the Tampa Bay area. Each campus having its own chapter, each chapter being quite territorial. Being a servant leader made this challenge more manageable and allowed me to better connect with all I met. The chapter and I collaborated with members from the other chapters to gain a better understanding of the obstacles that stood in the way of the chapters coming together. Through the face of adversity, we built connections at each campus and ultimately were able to produce an event that garnered participation from all five chapters, something we had never been able to accomplish before.
As VP of Leadership, I was responsible for developing future leaders within the chapter. I have always felt it was important to lead by example; In order to do this, one of my first tasks was to complete the Five Star Competitive Edge program. Working through the program, I discovered leadership capabilities I myself did not know I possessed. Once completed, I was ready to promote the program to others. I had gained a new wealth of knowledge that I had to share with those within the chapter. I volunteered to speak to the benefits of the program and how it would prepare students for life after community college. Additionally, I met with members before and after general meetings and at events to gauge what they felt was required of their ideal leader. I paid attention to those who shined during service projects, those who were always vocal and stepped up to offer suggestions on how to make students' experience more enjoyable and the chapter better. I shared my experiences at community college and as a member of Phi Theta Kappa. I had the opportunity to empower and motivate others, and I did not want to let it pass me by. This opportunity allowed me to identify the potential in a person – often unbeknownst to them – and bring that out, in both members and officers alike.
For the past three years, I have worked as a Business Analyst/Project Manager for a Fortune 500 bank. In this position, I am responsible for leading projects from infancy to implementation. A part of my role is to be a liaison between my business partners on the operational side as well as those on the technology side to ensure the needs of both parties are met for each project. This is not always an easy task. Often times, each group envisions their needs being met in a manner that does not always coincide with the vision of the other group. It is my duty to keep both sides focused and on task to ensure that each project is not only implemented successfully, but also completed on time and within the costs designated by the company. Many are familiar with Phi Theta Kappa as an honorary, scholarly organization. I am aware that at the end of the day, it is also a business. A business that has to be professionally and respectfully run. My previous leadership positions within the organization, along with my real world experiences have prepared me to work hand in hand with members, officers, and advisors within each chapter as well as executives to ensure Phi Theta Kappa, the business, is managed efficiently and effectively.
Beyond giving back to the organization, what is the primary reason you are seeking International Office?
The main reason I am seeking International Office is to continue the professional and leadership development I began when I became a member of Phi Theta Kappa. Being a non-traditional student who is already in the workforce, I did not think there was much more for me to learn professionally. I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of knowledge I gained about project management, teamwork, and conflict resolution working on projects such as Honors in Action and my chapter's College Project. By becoming an officer, I have grown much more as a leader, both within my chapter and at my workplace. I feel I have the opportunity to set a great example for those who thought maintaining this level of leadership was not possible while working full-time and supporting a family. I want to continue to break the mold and inspire others to do what many once thought could not be done.
In your opinion, what is the most important issue facing community college students today?
The most important issues facing community college students today are staying motivated and the presence of a support system throughout their collegiate career. Being a community college student who previously attended a four-year university, I immediately noticed a difference in the treatment of incoming new students, especially freshman. At many four-year colleges, freshman students are required to stay in campus housing, many having segregated dorm buildings specifically for the freshman population. Some schools require students to take a specific curriculum of classes during the first semester or year, ensuring new students take classes together and acquire the same knowledge immediately following high school. This is not a negative thing; it creates a structured and familiar environment similar to high school that allows for a smooth transition from secondary to post-secondary school. Additionally, these young adults are able to band together while they adjust to their newfound freedom. Contrarily, this structure does not exist for students who decide to attend community college immediately following high school. While most community colleges require students' first semester to include Freshman English, that is about the extent of class scheduling requirements. From the beginning of their post-secondary journey, students are on their own to select classes that best meet their enrollment and educational needs. Furthermore, most community colleges do not offer on-campus housing. Upon completion of classes, many students head to work or to their homes, eliminating the time to build camaraderie. Camaraderie that leads to invaluable, lasting relationships, the ones that ultimately help students stay motivated during times of distraction. Not only do these relationships assist students with staying motived, they are the quintessential building blocks for most students' support system. Most students who live in on-campus housing have the luxury of a resident assistant or dorm monitor to turn to in times of high stress or disorder. What resource do community college students have?
Honors Study Topic Essay
"Frontiers and the Spirit of Exploration" – "What propels us from curiosity to exploration of a frontier?"
Have you ever looked at a person and wondered, "What has his or her journey been up to this point"? Or gazed at a landmark and pondered, "How did this really come to be"? Dictionary.com defines ignorance as "lacking in knowledge or information as to a particular subject or fact" (Dictionary.com, LLC., 2014). For some, ignorance is bliss. These individuals find no fault in strolling through life never questioning what the future holds or challenging ideas that do not make sense. For others, the search for truth through new frontiers is indispensable. While preparing the final sermons for his book Strength to Love, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Nothing in the world is more dangerous than sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity" (King, 1963). More than 50 years later, this statement still reigns true. It is without question the unknown fascinates us – while it is known to terrify us as well. There comes a time, however, when inquiring minds must take exploratory action. A time when we no longer conform to the ideals of others or accept the boundaries they attempt to place upon us. A time when we refuse to abandon our right to self-expression in attempts to pacify social standards and ultimately "fit in". A time when we break through the barriers of ignorance built up against us by our families, by society, by ourselves. A time when failure is no longer an option and we commit to overcoming obstacles and propelling ourselves to new heights. A time when our restless beginnings motivate us to pursue a purposeful future. That time, my friends, is now.

The outfits from Tuesday's posts were some what of a struggle for me. I liked the idea, but didn't feel as pulled together as I like to be, especially compared to these outfits
Next week, you'll get a chance to see how switching out a blazer for a cardigan changes the feeling of the outfit!

Cardigans & Blazers Part II

I LOVE THAT DRESS!!! Love it. A lot. It looks amazing on you!ReplyDelete
Cara, you look just killer in blazers! The structure makes you look like a million bucks.ReplyDelete
I have to admit I struggle with cardigans, being a woman with curves and boobage. They can make me look very lumpy and saggy.
Love your blazers. I prefer a structured jacket and have very few cardigans. Even belted, many are too long for me, but even a too long structured jacket can nip a waist without a belt.ReplyDelete
You look fab in blazers! I love that second one.ReplyDelete

Shrink Wrapped is a new local radio programme on mental health and disability. Paul Carter talks to one of its presenters.
Shrink Wrapped is a weekly programme on BBC Three Counties Radio which broadcasts to Hertfordshire, Bedfordshire and Buckinghamshire.
It's presented by consultant psychiatrist Dr Chetna Kang and Toby Friedner. Speaking to Disability Now, Friedner said that the idea for the programme was suggested by Dr Kang.
"What it has become is a programme that tries to dispel the myths and talk normally about mental health and to see the person not the disability and to look at disability in a positive way."
The programme is based around topical disability-related news and issues. The first episode looked specifically at work and the impact of mental health and disability, as well as considering the impact on benefits, such as the effect of uprating on Employment and Support Allowance.
"We can go into that level of detail because it's a specialist programme. A larger proportion of our audience understand what ESA is and what the work group is and what the support group is than they would on a mainstream programme and I think over time that will increase. But we also need to be conscious that we might be talking to people who perhaps aren't disabled themselves, or might know someone who is, or who are just interested in the sort of topics we're talking about."
High on the Shrink Wrapped agenda, according to Friedner, is breaking down the stereotypes and stigma surrounding mental health and to bring topics and subjects into the mainstream that may still be considered taboo elsewhere.
One programme deals with the issue of a man who wishes to use his direct payments to engage the services of a sex worker, while another segment will feature an interview with a man with schizophrenia openly discussing his condition.
"We all knew those people growing up in our towns or villages who would walk around muttering or shouting, and people would laugh and point. Clive was one of those people, and here he is, in the studio, talking openly about his schizophrenia, about his symptoms, about the drugs he uses to control it, about how he feels now. Talking about all of that stuff normally - just having a conversation and breaking down barriers. That's really important and in that way, yes we are hoping that people will understand a bit better that behind behaviour that society may see as a bit odd, is a person.
Shrink Wrapped is in its infancy, but Toby has grand ideas for it and hopes to reach a wider audience in the future.
"The ambition is to be national. Absolutely. You don't need me to quote statistics about how many disabled people there are in the UK, about how many people have or will suffer from a mental health problem. This affects everyone. It may not affect you directly, but there may be someone close to you that it does."
·Shrink Wrapped is broadcast live on BBC Three Counties Radio on Sunday from 12 - 2 pm and is available on iPlayer

The Polaroid inflatable diffuser takes the harsh, ultra bright light that emanates from most flash units and softens the harshness. The result is no more shadows. Hot spots are reduced because the diffuser screen spreads the light in many more directions than the flash itself. The diffuser is so light weight that you wont feel it on your flash at all. It is designed with a clear plastic window which acts as a stop limit on front of your flash window. The air pouch has an all white interior to maximize the amount of light that can arrive at your subject. The light that reflects off the interior then passes through the front mounted diffuser screen where the softening takes place. The exterior is opaque back. Deflates in seconds and can be stored in your pocket.
- Provides Soft Light Which Reduces Harsh Shadows And Hot Spots
- Inflates And Deflates In Seconds
- One Size Fits All. The Flash Mounting Shoe Features An Adjustable Elastic Strap.
- Color: Semi-Transparent (Front) & Black (Back)
- Dimensions: 220 x 150 x 10 mm (inflated) 220 x 150 x 110 mm (deflated)

Time Management
Self management is the key to making time your ally rather than your enemy.
If using your time wisely is a problem for you, you probably don't have a very good idea where your time goes. A good start to time "management" is to track where your waking hours go. Keep a schedule for one week and faithfully record everything you do.
The next step is to try to plan your week. Write a schedule for your whole day. Not just classes. Be sure to allocate time for EVERYTHING (from taking a shower to going to the movies).
Try to stick to your schedule for one week. This should give you a good idea of where your priorities lay!
If you have trouble keeping to the schedule the chances are that procrastination is at work. Don't allow yourself to make excuses ("it won't mattter if I'm late, no-one else will be on time") for why you can't begin the task at hand.
Learn to say NO when your priorities are spoken for. Know what's best for your time. Turning down an invitation now and then doesn't make you a party-pooper.
Avoid the telephone.
Plan ahead. Begin setting your weeky schedules a month or even a semester ahead. For example, if your history paper is due in the eighth week of school, calculate the time needed to prepare (four weeks). Allow yourself a week for typing (and unforeseen disasters) and include the start of this paper in your Third Week's schedule. PLAN AHEAD BY WORKING BACKWARDS and stick to the schedule - it works!
By scheduling like this, you'll find the pressures on yourself are reduced. If you're honest with yourself and your priorities, you'll be able to take time off without feeling guilty.
At the start of each week update that week's schedule with important items that might otherwise sneak up on you.
Don't forget to take a break! Schedule in fitness and study breaks (15 minutes out of the hour is a good rule of thumb). Be careful - more than 15 minutes constitutes more than a break.
This system may sound like enslavement to you! But it actually can lead to a greater sense of freedom and acomplishment, because YOU'RE IN CONTROL. That's all self management is - managing your life more effectively. Give it a try. You'll like it!
And one last thing: WEAR A WATCH!

Highlander is a casual constructed variant of Magic which allows only one copy of each card in the deck, with the exception of basic lands. [1] The name Highlander is a reference to the movie of the same name, whose tag line was "There can be only one". [2]
Rules[edit | edit source]
- Any card from Alpha up through the latest Magic set can be used (except for banned cards). Cards from the Portal sets, International Collector Editions, and Championship decks can be used provided you put all your cards in opaque sleeves and the International Collector Edition card edges are rounded.
- Special mulligan rule: The first time a player takes a mulligan, he or she draws a new hand of as many cards as he or she had before. Subsequent hands decrease by one card as normal.
As a casual format, individual playgroups often have their own house rules regarding almost any aspect of the game to suit their own style and to make the game more fun. This often includes a more extensive banned list, or banning certain combinations (e.g decks can include a Thopter Assembly or a Sword of the Meek, but not both) or modifying how interactions work (e.g. infinite loops only recur a set number of times to prevent infinite damage or mana loops that would otherwise win the game immediately). In these cases the objective is to lengthen the game and prevent good draws from being able to win or knock a player out of the game too soon. Given how big the card pool is, there are many plausible, if unlikely given the format, ways to deal infinite damage or otherwise win within a few turns and this is generally considered to not be in the spirit of the game, and can be enforced with house rules if the group feels they need to.
Versions of the game can be found that include practically any imaginable permutation of game rules that emphasize different aspects of the game. Some groups prefer to play using older sets of rules (combat damage still going on the stack being particularly popular) while others use a random turn orders or may even apply 'end of turn' effects until the end of the turn sequence (i.e. until the player before you completes their turn) to change the dynamic of the game. Other groups emphasize the creative aspect of the game by creating a set of homebrew cards that can be added to decks. Finally, some groups focus on the social aspect of the game, adding rules for alliances or a dedicated politics phase to the turn, when players can scheme. On the less serious end of the spectrum, there is a Commander drinking game that can be played, where every time you cast your general you have to finish a drink.
Deck construction[edit | edit source]
- A deck may not contain two cards with the same english name except basic land cards.
- A deck must contain at least 100 cards.
- Some cards are entirely banned in tournament formats. Since these are non-DCI-tournaments, they have individual ban lists. [3]
- No sideboards are used.
Singleton[edit | edit source]
In the simplified Singleton version of Highlander players can use Standard, Modern, Legacy or Vintage deckbuilding rules. A deck has no 100 card minimum.
Commander[edit | edit source]
Commander, formerly known as Elder Dragon Highlander (usually abbreviated to EDH) is a Highlander variant format with specific rules centered around a legendary creature called "General".

Hello Boredfan1, greetings and welcome to the Narutopedia! Thanks for your edit to the User talk:Sarah Manley page.
We do hope that you will stay for a long time. Enjoy your stay as we work to become the best Naruto info site out there. BELIEVE IT!
If you're looking for something to do why not look over the Forums or more specifically Narutopedia Collaboration for a list of projects we're working on. And the Community portal has a lot of recent discussions and places to go listed on it.
Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Jacce (talk) 06:09, July 6, 2013 (UTC)
We use UK English on this wiki. Also, I saw your edit on Sarah Manley's talkpage. While some characters are descendants to certain clans it is not sure they have the clan name as surname, like if it is just the mother coming from a clan. Examples of this are Nagato, Tsunade and Karin. So until they been called Nagato Uzumaki or Tsunade Senju or something, they remain just Nagato and Tsunade. Jacce | Talk | Contributions 06:44, July 6, 2013 (UTC)
I don't think a lot of people use UK English to be honest, most is American English so it could be a bit difficult to keep everything consistent.
Regardless, many of those words are pretty much spelled the same and also, it needs to be clarified somewhere easy to find that the wiki uses UK English as I could not find it anywhere.
In the case of Tsunade and Karin, we don't really know enough to give them a surname however, I believe Nagato's parents are also Uzumaki though I am unsure, the lighting in the episode they appear in was not good enough to make anything out. Boredfan1 (talk) 06:51, July 6, 2013 (UTC)
Re: Notification Error
I am facing the same. It's probably a feature for highlited threads. Best to ask staff~UltimateSupreme 03:06, April 17, 2014 (UTC)
Alright, I submitted an error report to them with a screenshot of the issue so hopefully that will get the issue fixed though this is not the first time it has happened, I've seen it on other wiki's too.=Lord of the bored, User:Boredfan1= 09:05, April 17, 2014 (UTC)

Oconee florist concerned about charges being paid to 'middleman'
FAIR PLAY - Hope Parker started Flowers by the Lake florists in Fair Play 10 years ago after moving to the area from New Brunswick, Canada, where she worked in the business for 15 years.
As she begins filling orders for Valentine's Day, one of the busiest days in a florist's year, she said she is quite concerned this year that "flower order gatherers" continue to take advantage of unknowing customers.
A note on each one of her businesses' invoices summarizes those concerns: "Most consumers don't realize that they are paying almost $20 or more to use 'the middleman,' which are the dot-com companies pretending to be florists, and the florist that designs and delivers this order loses nearly 30 percent. Save money and save the florist."
Parker said, "Most of us are small-business owners, but we have telephones, websites, and Facebook pages, so we can be contacted directly.
"It is just not fair to us or the customer to have these flower order gatherers add a $15 charge immediately to an order for handling when all they do is send it straight to the florist. There may also be other charges which inflate the cost of the flowers, leaving the florist with less profit and the customer paying too much."
Teleflora, Parker said, started a Save the Florist campaign a few years ago to better inform customers of the practice.
Teleflora is the largest privately held floral wire service, with more than 19,000 member florists in 20 countries, including the United States and Canada.
"As a consumer and a florist, I simply say buyer beware," Parker said.
She plans to employ an additional six people to make deliveries on Valentine's Day this year.
"Mother's Day is also one of our busiest times, but deliveries are generally made all week, which means the arrangement doesn't have to be made immediately," she said. "But Valentine's Day demands the arrangement be made that one day."
Parker offers delivery service to Oconee, Pickens, and Anderson counties in the Upstate and to Lavonia, Ga.
"Good delivery is the key to this type of business, and customers expect it and deserve it," she said.
Parker said she orders flowers directly from Ecuador and Colombia.
"Roses of course are in high demand at Valentine's Day, although red and white carnations are also popular," she said.
The slow economy has affected florists, Parker said.
"Some of our suppliers have simply gone out of business, and some florists in the local area have had to close their doors," she said. "As with most small businesses, we are vulnerable to a dropping national economy."
A signature touch of Flowers by the Lake is a painted wooden ladybug that is placed with each order.
"We got a lot of feedback on our ladybugs," Parker said.
A mother and grandmother, she also is a supporter of Fair Play, an unincorporated community that is split by Interstate 85 in southern Oconee County.
Five years ago, Parker and a group of interested residents started their own monthly newspaper called the Fair-Town Times for Fair Play, Townville and other local areas. Local advertisers support the publication.

You can tell that Oscar campaigns are in full swing when you see front-page articles like this in the New York Times:
Mr. Moore of Paramount stopped short of making Oscar predictions. But he noted that only two western dramas, "Dances With Wolves" and "Unforgiven," had been major hits in the last 20 years.
"And both won best picture," he said.
The article asks the burning question: "As a Hot Ticket, Will 'True Grit' Sway the Oscars?" Good for the Coens that they have their top box office success evah! Asked if he had any idea why, Joel Coen said, "None at all." But it's not as though the season's more critically acclaimed films have been flops.
Case in point:
True Grit
Domestic: $89,292,295 (13 days)
The Social Network (95 days)
Domestic: $93,282,159
Worldwide: $196,779,159
And there's this:
Inception (172 days)
Domestic: $292,571,392
Worldwide: $823,571,392
Besides, wasn't the question about any box office/best picture connection answered last year?
Domestic: $760,507,625
Worldwide: $2,781,132,032
The Hurt Locker
Domestic: $17,017,811
Worldwide: $49,230,726
I don't recall James Cameron thanking the Academy on Oscar night.
On a separate note, anyone associated with a system that calls True Grit a PG-13 film (killings left and right, dismembered fingers, other bloody behavior) and The King's Speech an R (one brief flurry of mild cursing that wouldn't make a nun blush) should be locked in an asylum. It's ratings madness.
I know this is the first place most people check for the all-important box office results, so let's get to it. Here are the "winners" of the weekend:
I still don't understand why anyone except the people who make a movie should care how much money the movie makes at the box office, but that's where we are. Somewhere along the way the Sunday news shows got it in their heads that the weekend box office is IMPORTANT NEWS, and every week we get to know who "won the weekend" even before the weekend is over. Not to mention, who lost. Winners and losers. That's what it comes down to. (Hey, where's Avatar this weekend? Yesterday's news: Loser!)
That said, I am heartened to know that a movie called Valentine's Day is the No. 1 movie on Valentine's Day weekend. What would it say about us if a horror remake like The Wolfman beat it out? I can't say which is a better movie—I haven't seen them—but I've yet to read a good review of either.* That doesn't matter, though. Movie reviews will never be IMPORTANT NEWS.
Now that Valentine's Day is a certified winner, I would suppose that the smart folks in Hollywood will soon be coming out with other holiday-themed movies. If they hurry, they could open St. Patrick's Day next month, and Memorial Day should be just around the corner. In fact, few holidays have a well-known movie title commemorating the occasion. There's Independence Day, of course. The best of the lot is Groundhog Day (which opened, coincidentally, 17 years ago this weekend, exactly two years after that heart-warming lovefest called The Silence of the Lambs). Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Boxing Day, and Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day are titles still waiting to be taken. (If Hollywood ever runs out of holiday titles, don't worry. Those geniuses at Hallmark will come up with a new one.)
* I rather liked this part of Roger Ebert's review: "Valentine's Day" is being marketed as a Date Movie. I think it's more of a First-Date Movie. If your date likes it, do not date that person again.

A Meeting Detector and Its Applications
Download Now
Date Added: Jan 2011
Format: PDF
In this paper the authors present a context-sensing component that recognizes meetings in a typical office environment. The prototype detects the meeting start and end by combining outputs from pressure and motion sensors installed on the chairs. They developed a telephone controller application that transfers incoming calls to voice-mail when the user is in a meeting. The experiments show that it is feasible to detect high-level context changes with "Good Enough" accuracy, using low-cost, off-the-shelf hardware, and simple algorithms without complex training.

DRAMATIC decrease in mileage,boost issue?please help!
I have a 2000 F250 with the 7.3 powerstroke, 6 spd. manual transmisison. I have an AFE intake, ATS antisurge compressor housing, 4" mandrel bent exhaust, and edge juice with attitude. Im coming up on right around 100,000 miles. Everything runs great. HOWEVER.... lately, within the past month or so, it started acting weird. The boost pressure goes up extremely fast, regardless of load. Its almost like the turbo is more RPM based now instead of throttle/load. It will hit almost full boost (24 psi) in first gear if I romp on it. The rest of the gears it increases so fast its hard to keep it under 15 psi..... its incredibly faster feeling than before, but its killing my mileage. I own an import fabrication shop, but im not very familiar with diesel engines. I already checked all of the basics- the wastegate actuator works properly and moves freely. No diaphragm tears. No breaks in the wastegate reference hose or any other related hoses. The boost control valve appears to be working, but i am not 100% sure. It seems although the wastegate will not open until 24 PSI, and it didnt used to do this. I am wondering if the only reason the wastegate is opening is because the exhaust pressure is actually opening it. Im not sure....or is there another problem that I have no idea about? Maybe a fuel pressure issue? All i know is 7 to 9 mpg isnt cutting it with my 50 mile daily commute. Any help would be appreciated. thank you guys! -Richard

On May 16th and 17th Madarts (where SDS Faculty member Cynthia Lawson has her studio) ends six months of darkness and goes public with their Spring Open Studio Tour – an invitation into the South Slope warehouse-turned-art-shop that happens only twice a year. The tour includes over 40 artists' paintings, drawings, sculpture, photography, film and video. The hours are noon to 6pm on Saturday and Sunday at the Madarts Building, 255 18th Street at 5th Avenue in Brooklyn. The crew puts on a solid, no frills art show in a gloriously makeshift and perfectly makeshift DIY warehouse space. The tour offers a peek into the private art studios where artists host individual receptions for their newest bodies of work.
Besides several new food and drink offerings in striking distance, it's an easy destination: R train to Prospect Ave. or F train at 4th Ave. and 9th St. get you there in as little as two blocks. Madarts is located just above Fifth Ave. on 18th St. between Fifth and Sixth Ave. The nearest subway stop is Prospect Ave. on the R line. Exit the station using the stairs on the left. Walk straight from the stairs on Fourth Ave. to 18th St. Make a left at 18th St. Cross Fifth Ave. Look for a large white industrial building. Enter at the girded glass window front filled with greenery.
Madarts Studios consists of 40 painting, sculpture, photography, video/film and music studios, a woodshop and a darkroom. More than an artists building it is an international group of very committed, well educated and experienced professionals, widely shown and entirely focused on honing their talents and finding their place in the world of fine arts. 2009 is a very important year for the group. With the relocation of the gallery to Broome Street in The Lower East Side the work will be seen by many more critics, curators and art buyers. With the addition of another project in the heart of France and a number of studios in Manhattan the strength of the group should make for a stimulating work environment, stronger work and a vital and fascinating gallery. The Giacobetti-Paul Gallery, named after the architects of the project, will open this summer. Please check the website for more information.

FT.LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Four Florida residents were arrested earlier today and charged in a multi-count indictment with conspiracy to commit immigration fraud and substantive charges related to mail fraud and the sale of fraudulent immigration documents following a joint law enforcement investigation with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), the State of Florida Division of Alcoholic Beverages and Tobacco (ABT), and the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida.
Early this morning, federal agents arrested Audie Watson, 75, of Tamarac, Florida, Nancy Vertus, 40, of Lake Worth, Florida, and Anibal Reyes and his wife, Laura Reyes, both 38 and of Port St. Lucie, Florida. According to the Indictment, these individuals were allegedly part of a scheme to sell fraudulent documentation through a company named Universal Services Dedicated to God, Inc., which was located in Tamarac, Florida.
From August 2005 to the present, the defendants conspired to unlawfully enrich themselves through charging aliens who were not eligible for United States citizenship, a fee of $1,500 per alien or $2,000 per couple to make the aliens members of the Pembina Nation Little Shell Tribe. These fees were collected and documents issued for the fraudulent purpose of enabling the aliens to claim to be members of the Pembina Nation Little Shell Tribe. This would allow the aliens to reside and work in the United States to avoid removal from the country.
"U.S. citizenship is not something that can be bought or sold," said Anthony Mangione, special agent in charge of the ICE office of investigations." "We will continue to go after these individuals that are jeopardizing our national security and investigate those that are seeking to obtain legal status fraudulently. I want to thank the FBI, ABT and the U.S. Attorney's Office for working with us to bring this case to justice following a two year investigation."
Following their arrests, the defendants made their initial appearances before United States Magistrate Judge Barry S. Seltzer in Ft. Lauderdale. Defendants Anibal and Laura Reyes were arraigned and released on bond. Defendants Watson and Vertus are scheduled for detention hearings and arraignment on Wednesday, September 3, 2008.
If convicted, the defendants face maximum penalties of up to 5 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for the conspiracy to commit mail and immigration fraud charge; and up to 20 years in prison and a fine up to $250,000 for the mail fraud charge; and up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000 for the false immigration document charge.
U.S. Attorney R. Alexander Acosta commended the investigative efforts of the FBI, ICE, ABT, BSO, USPS, U.S. Social Security, USSS, ATF, MDPD, City of Miami Police Department, and FDLE. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant United States Attorneys Jennifer Keene and Jeffrey Kay of the Ft. Lauderdale office of the United States Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Florida.

• NACAC Under-23 Championships Results
MADISON, Wis. -- Two years isn't technically a silver anniversary, but the weekend provided an occasion to celebrate for the Wisconsin women's track and field team.Jessica Flax scored 5,544 points to claim a silver medal and help the United States sweep the top spots in the heptathlon at the 2012 North American, Central American and Caribbean (NACAC) Under-23 Championships. The podium at Paralympic Track Stadium in Irapuato, Mexico, was full of familiar faces for Flax.The Wisconsin senior finished runner-up to fellow American Kiana Profit, a senior from Maryland who tallied a score of 5,633 points to win the gold. Arkansas junior Makeba Alicde secured the bronze for her native St. Lucia with a score of 5,522 points.Flax's effort marked the second-consecutive silver medal secured by a UW athlete in the heptathlon at the biennial NACAC meet. Her teammate, senior Dorcas Akinniyi, finished second for Team USA at the 2010 NACAC Under-23 Championships.Flax got off to a running start Friday in the 100-meter hurdles, posting the fastest time in the field by nearly a half-second. Her effort of 13.38 seconds -- which came with an aiding wind of 3.2 meters per second -- is the fastest all-conditions time in UW history. The wind reading prevents it from surpassing the UW school record of 13.45 seconds set by Egle Staisiuanite in 2011.Alcide was second-fastest at 13.87, beginning a run of three consecutive events in which she and Flax swapped the top two spots.A clearance at 5 feet, 4 1/2 inches for Flax was the second-best of any competitor in the high jump, trailing Alcide's mark of 5-9 1/4.Flax fired back with a throw of 40-11 3/4 to claim the top mark in the shot put, with Alcide just behind at 40-7 3/4.Alcide nipped Flax in the 200 meters to close out the first day of competition, running a time of 24.87 to Flax's 24.88 -- just off her lifetime-best in the event. Profit won the race in 24.08.Through four events, Alcide held a 68-point edge on Flax, who owned a 114-point cushion on Profit for second.An outstanding second day of competition allowed Profit to shoot past both challengers and claim gold, as she posted the second-best mark in the long jump and javelin before winning the 800 meters in a strong time of 2:16.26.Flax concluded her outdoor career for the Badgers last month with a fourth-place finish -- and All-America honors for the second-consecutive year -- at the NCAA outdoor championships and a 12th-place showing at the USA Olympic Trials. The Pearland, Texas, native has one season of indoor eligibility remaining.

"Sumatran tigers are critically endangered, with as few as 400 left in the wild," said Dr. Sybille Klenzendorf, lead scientist for WWF's tiger program. "We're racing to find out as much about them and where they live as we can, before more of their natural habitat is converted to commercial plantations growing pulp wood and palm oil trees."
This is the first time WWF has used camera traps to study tigers in Indonesia. In July 2004, field staff began handing out questionnaires to find out if local people had seen any tigers. Scientists then conducted a track survey, in which they attempted to find evidence of the animals in a specific area. This information was used to determine where to set up camera traps, armed with infrared sensors triggered by movement.
WWF put 30 camera traps in the forests -- one per tiger home range (about 40 square miles) -- and checks them every 3-4 weeks. Because the cameras have been placed in remote locations, it takes at least a day to hike to each (the team can check all 30 within a month). Cameras must be moved occasionally because the flash often alerts animals to their presence, causing those animals to avoid the area in the future.
Due to the moist, hot climate of Sumatran forests, the cameras often malfunction, so scientists will be

|Crawdads Clobber Tourists, 16-6
|Written by Staff Reports
|Sunday, 07 August 2011 19:03
Skole's grand slam was the Crawdads sixth slam of the season, setting an all-time Crawdads record for most grand slams in a single season. Hickory(65-46, 25-18) started the scoring with a six-run barrage in the top of the fifth against pitcher Peter Tago. With one away, Alejandro Selen doubled and later scored on Deglan's first two-run home run of the game. Jhonny Gomez was hit by a pitch and Jurickson Profar doubled, putting runners at second and third. Odubel Herrera had an RBI single, Andrew Clark singled and drove in a run, Tomas Telis walked, Christian Villanueva drove in a run with a sacrifice fly and Skole capped off the inning with a run-scoring single and a 6-0 Hickory advantage.

title>Town of St.George - New Brunswick
Town of St. George New Brunswick Canada
Historical Notes
Peter Clinch, the founding father of St. George, landed with a group of colonists at the foot of present day Clinch Street on November 10, 1783. He received a grant for the land that was to become the town of St. George on February 2, 1784. In 1786 Peter Clinch served as a member of the House of Assembly in Mallard House, Saint John.
Colonel Hugh Mckay, a resident of St. George, was a Colonel in the militia for 50 years and served in the House of Assembly for 30 years. As well, he was a Senior Justice of the Court of Common Pleas. At his death on January 28, 1848, he was the oldest and the only, full Colonel of the militia in the province of New Brunswick.
By the mid 1800's five shipyards, ten sawmills and seven granite mills were operating in and around St. George.
Fort Vernon, constructed on the south side of the basin in 1812, was the first fort built in St. George. In 1866 a second fort was built on Fort Hill. The cannons from this fort can presently be found in front of the St. George Legion Hall.
The only evidence of a brickyard in the town can be seen in the Dr. Dinsmore House on Brunswick Street. The house is constructed of locally made bricks from a brickyard owned by Wallace and Tyler Shaw.
The Lake Utopia Medallion, a large circular piece of granite proven to have been cut by an expert stone cutter, bears the head of an Indian Chief believed to be a friend of DeMonts. Although discovered in 1862, the medallion is thought to have been cut by a member of the DeMonts-Champlain expedition of 1604. The medallion is presently in the New Brunswick museum.
The first church, built in 1790, is the oldest Presbyterian Church in Canada.
The first Anglican Church was built in 1821, burnt January 1st, 2002.
The first Baptist Church was built in 1845.
The first Roman Catholic Church was built in 1854.
Published c.1902, the "Granite Town Greetings" was the towns first newspaper. The granite water-trough at the town pump was completed in 1902.
The town of St. George was incorporated on October 17, 1904. The first mayor of the town was Fred Dewar.
