Sunset from the Henley Bridge is perhaps a timely subject, since the bridge will be closed for renovation for at least two years starting Jan. 3. Marty Dailey of Karns used a Canon Rebel 300D and took the photo from Volunteer Landing. "I went ... to take pictures of the Nina and Pinta while they were here, but saw this instead," Dailey wrote in an e-mail. "It was breathtaking. Missed the ships!" Dailey works at Frontier Communications in Powell and is enrolled in the University of Tennessee Photography Certificate Program.
Bocephus the boxer has his Christmas 2010 photo taken by owner Angie Bays in Maynardville. She used a Canon T1i. "He is our baby," Bays wrote in an e-mail. "He doesn't know he is a dog (and) we have never told him!" She said Santa is bringing Bocephus a huge 4-foot-tall stocking full of toys "and, of course, the largest bone I could find."
Monte Seymour from Corryton used a 30-second exposure on his Pentax K20D to photograph the moon over Fontana Lake in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. "I was camping at Chambers Creek with some friends and it had to be the brightest moon I had even seen. I was hoping the full moon would line up more on the lake than it did but it still turned out to be a good shot. I inserted myself to add some perspective," he wrote in an e-mail. Seymour is construction projects coordinator at the University of Tennessee.
Amanda Coulter, a registered nurse from Maryville, used a Nikon D40x with an old 24mm f/2.8 lens to photograph a wagon wheel at her mother's house in Friendsville, Tenn. "I liked how many colors were in the wagon wheel, the moss and the rust and the center bolt. I just thought it was beautiful," Coulter wrote in an e-mail. "(The) great thing about Nikon (is that) the old lens fit on the digital camera. (I) just had to manually focus."
"I have fallen in LOOOVE with Tennessee and discovered my photographic eye," said Ashley Quinn Clement, a Pellissippi State freshman who recently moved to West Knoxville from Houma, La. She photographed this moody scene with a Nikon Coolpix P80 at Melton Hill Park in September. "I go there quite often to take pictures. I usually don't go so early, and was surprised when I did how peaceful the lake looked with the fog over it. Like something out of a movie. It was breathtaking," said Clement in an e-mail. She is majoring in media technology.
Knoxville photographer Amanda Cole-Parker calls this photograph of a water droplet splash "Playing with Water." She made the photo at home using a Nikon D200 with a black back drop and studio lights. "I'm a portrait photographer but in the last year have really become interested in macro photography and water is such beautiful and unpredictable substance to work with," she said in an e-mail. It took about 50 shots to capture a winner. "I was just lucky that the water was playing nice that day ....it can be up to 100 to 150 (attempts)," she said. Cole-Parker is owner of Silver Reflections Photography.
Retired medical physicist Jack C. Sofield from Seymour made this dynamic photograph of an F-18 Super Hornet during an air show Sept. 18 at Oceana Naval Air Station, Virginia Beach, Va. He used a Canon 20d with a Canon 24-105 mm lens and a shutter speed of 1/1250 second. "The pictured phenomena, the Prandtl-Glauert singularity, is a compression wave that lasts just a fraction of a second and only occurs with the right combination of aircraft speed, air density and moisture content. This is NOT a photo of a plane going through the sound barrier," Sofield said in an e-mail.
Dave Samsel was on a business trip when he came across this sunrise scene of a photographer at work along U.S. Highway 25E on Clinch Mountain near Bean Station. "The view was so breathtaking that I really didn't notice the 28 degree cold until my fingers starting going numb," he wrote in an e-mail. "Sad to say that so close to home and I don't ever recall being on the mountain this early." Samsel, senior facilities engineer at JTEKT Automotive in Morristown, used a Nikon 8800. Images for Reader's Eye are chosen weekly from photographs uploaded at http://im.knoxnews.com/.
Ann C. Short, an attorney with the Bosch Law Firm, photographed this radio-controlled witch last Halloween's eve at Mariners Pointe in West Knoxville. "The community was having its annual Halloween party for the children. Bob and Gay Stewart brought the witch: a large, radio-controlled, gas-powered model airplane that they had built (for) the party to fly for the children. The moon was almost full, and the picture was perfect for Halloween," Short wrote in an e-mail. She used a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT and a 70-300mm lens.
Heather Jean Clapp, a freelance photographer and Primerica financial adviser, took this photograph on the Little River Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. "I used my Nikon D200 camera and a Gary Fong pop-up flash diffuser to get this shot. I spent a lot of time photographing this butterfly, which seemed to be curious about me as well," she said in an email. Clapp was thinking of cropping out the shadow but decided that it enhanced the photo and kept it. "Most photographers aim at keeping their shadows out of pictures. This proves that sometimes it can be rewarding and may even create a more interesting photo to break this 'rule,' " she said. See more of Clapp's work at www.fotojean.com.
Tammy Hudson, the mother of four homeschooled children, made this sun and sunflower composition at Don Bailey's farm along U.S. 321 on Sept. 6 in Lenoir City. Hudson used a Nikon D300, adjusted the saturation and hue, then created an eye-grabbing effect by using a Photoshop plug-in call Fractalius by Redfield Plugins. "Just an amazing sight to see! I believe he has around 50 acres of sunflowers blooming," she said in an e-mail. More of the part-time photographer's work can be seen at tammyhudson.com.
"Sometimes your eye doesn't let you see the full picture," said Chad Smith of his photograph made last month of the Clinch River in Norris Dam State Park. "I thought it was just unusual to see the fog lift from the water at dusk. The sun was setting just right. However, I never expected the results that followed post-processing." He used a Canon 5d at ISO 400 and a Canon 16-35 lens at 16mm. Exposure blending, dodging, burning and saturation adjustments were performed in Photoshop. Smith is owner of 2319 Digital Media, specializing in fine professional photography of people, places and events.
West Knox County resident Les Rowland took this photograph of a hummingbird at sunset with a Sony Mavica CD-1000. The retiree says he is passionate about photography as a hobby and especially likes hummingbirds as a subject, due to the difficulty in getting just the right shot. "I saw this particular shot coming as I sat on my deck one evening ..... My patience paid off as I wanted it to appear as though the hummer was alighting on the sun to feed," said Rowland.
Heritage High School freshman Molly Kendall Ott, 14, calls her photograph of a cloud formation "God's Thumbs Up." She took the picture with an LG env2 Verizon mobile phone near her home in Rockford. Molly wrote in an e-mail that she and friend Maddie Carpenter were having a competition pointing out clouds that looked like things while in the car. "I looked over and saw it and instantly thought of a thumbs up and yelled at Maddie's mom, Andrea, to stop," she wrote. "Maddie and I then agreed that it was 'God's Thumbs Up.' " Molly is the youngest Reader's Eye photographer thus far.
Jason Mynatt, a Roane County Sheriff's Office detective, took this photograph of the Celtic cross headstone of his best friend, Matthew Rittenhouse. Rittenhouse died in a wreck on Sept. 16, 2004, while on duty as a deputy with the Harriman Police Department. "The idea occurred to me one foggy night while I was visiting Matt's grave," Mynatt said. "I liked the idea of illuminating the cross, of seeing a symbolic light issue from 'the other side' of the cross," he said. Mynatt was assisted by his brother, Kasey, who was also a close friend of Rittenhouse. "The photograph has since been a comfort for me as well as for Matt's family and those who remember him fondly," Mynatt added.
Trey Blankenship used a Nikon D5000 with an 18-55mm lens to photograph Debord Falls this spring in Frozen Head State Park near Wartburg, Tenn. "This photo appealed to me because it was a view of the falls that not a lot of people find. Not just the view from where I was sitting but the appearance of the falls was rare," said Blankenship, who operates Tom Bell Photography. "The green of the trees was barely sprouting, and the water wasn't roaring over the fall. It was calm and placid, a rare site at Debord Falls, for me at least."

In a photograph taken with an iPhone and the Hipstamatic application, Brian Ellis's daughter, nicknamed Bug, poses for posterity. "I like taking pictures in general but I am fascinated by my kids. In this picture is Caitlin, my youngest of five. She is probably the biggest ham of all of them," said Ellis, the owner of Anocial Social Media Consulting. He educates small businesses about how to increase their visibility and sales through the use of social media.
Stacy Champagne created this photograph, titled "Fun with Sparklers," to promote her Gatlinburg-based business, Pixdipity Photography. It required a Nikon D300, a tripod, a sparkler, and her two daughters, Kelly, 11, and Alyssa, 9. "We just used one sparkler in hand and moved quickly. Remember to write backwards and practice beforehand so you're fast at it," she said in an e-mail message. An exposure of 40 seconds and an f-stop of 2.8 was used for the picture, which was taken in the family's backyard. "It took three tries. We had so much fun," said Champagne.

He used a Canon 1D Mark III and Canon 500mm f/4L lens. "I am an amateur/hobbyist photographer and have only been doing wildlife and nature photography for about 21/2 years. I am hopelessly addicted," Howdeshell said in an e-mail.
Jefferson County High School seniors Tori Vick, left, and Lacy Miller, take a cool plunge into the Little Pigeon River last month at Greenbrier Island Campground in Pittman Center, Tenn. The photograph was taken by Tori's father, Robert C. Vick, with a Canon Rebel XTi and a 70-300mm lends during a family getaway. "The rock and swimming hole at Greenbrier is a great way to cool off during these hot, hot summer days," said Vick, a math lab teacher at Maury Middle School in Dandridge.
Debbie Badgett took this photograph of her daughter Meghan, 13, left, family friend Richie Pearl, 18, and another daughter Caitie, 17, last May at the Country Fair at Dollywood.

West Knoxville freelance photographer Heather Jean Clapp used a Nikon D200 camera, a 18-70mm lens and a tripod to take this shot on the Anthony Creek Trail in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. "I am fascinated by the beauty of everything God has created, from tiny flowers most people would overlook, to beautiful sunsets that come and go in an instant," said Clapp in an e-mail. "I was drawn to the tree in the photo because of its appearance and the mysterious hole at its base. The mossy rocks and creek added to the mystical nature of this tree, and I wanted to capture that essence." More of her work can be seen at http://livingimagephoto.wordpress.com.

Mike Faulkner photographed this sunset May 26 in Montego Bay, Jamaica, during a getaway with his wife, Angie. "It had been raining almost all day and had finally stopped when we decided to go to the beach, just in time for the clouds to break enough for the sun to peek through to reveal an amazing sunset," he said in an e-mail. He used a Nikon Coolpix L18 point-and-shoot camera, choosing to leave his big DSLR and lenses at home while on vacation. Faulkner is a machinist and leadman at Stowers Machinery and had his first Reader's Eye photograph published in April.
Becky Hunt Ridner photographed this white-throated sparrow with birdseed on its beak in January. Ridner took hundreds of pictures of birds at her feeders last winter."This pot was positioned directly below one of the feeders," she said in an e-mail.

"He's over 40 and can still rip the skatepark," Loftis said about Barbee. Loftis shot the photo at f22 and 1/200 of a second and used an off-camera flash. Loftis said finishing touches to the photo were added using "a little Photoshop lovin'."
Warren Hamlin, a lieutenant in the Knoxville Police Department's Criminal Investigations Division, took this photo of American goldfinches at his fiancee's house in Northwest Knoxville while the birds were at a bird feeder. Hamlin, who scored an earlier Reader's Eye with a picture of his Jack Russell terrier, Moto, used a Nikon D300 camera and a Nikkor 70-300mm lens set at 165mm to snap the birds. Hamlin edited the photo in Adobe Lightroom 2 and adjusted the color of the background to make the birds stand out. "I just love taking pictures of anything!" Hamlin said.

"The five exposures are blended together in Photomatix Software and then finished up using Adobe Photoshop CS3." More of his HDR images can be seen at www.frankbeeler.com.
Rob Taylor captured this photograph titled "Night Wisteria" at a friend's home in Fountain City. "I'd classify myself as an avid (or rabid) photo enthusiast who dabbles in many different photographic techniques," he said. "All aspects of photography fascinate me, and my learning curve continues to be near vertical." The picture was taken with a Nikon D90 and a 10.5 mm fisheye lens, with a time exposure of 400 seconds.

This photograph of First Tennessee Tower is the second Reader's Eye bagged by Farragut resident Carol Erikson. She had just viewed a quilt show at the convention center (her sister, Linda French, took best in show) when she noticed the clouds reflecting on the bank tower. "I love to shoot reflections. ... (It's) always a treat to happen upon a worthy subject when the light is just right, camera in hand, with all the time I want to shoot!" she said. She used a Nikon D40x and 18-200mm lens.

Artist and musician Rob Laliberte was visiting friends in Sicklerville, N.J., when he took this photo during a concert tour in 2007. "My friend's son had dumped a bucket full of cars onto the ground. I really enjoyed the bright primary colors of the cars. I imagine that from the cars perspective this was quite a disaster," said Laliberte, a Historic North Knoxville resident. He is in the process of finishing a new album titled "Circles" under the artist's name Arcadian Overcast.
Jamie Olson calls her photograph of a busy bumblebee the "Bee's Knees." She shot the picture last April at Stanley's Greenhouses in South Knoxville using a Nikon D300 and a 105mm macro lens.

The Steele family describes Elli as "cuter than any celebritot," a reference to her celebrity status with cashiers while shopping.
Eric Loftis made this photograph at the Cutthroat Shamrock show at Barley's Taproom in January. He used a Canon Rebel xti with Canon 430 Speedlight and a Sigma 15mm lens. "I love taking photos of bands and skateboarding. They are both raw and gritty and real. Punk and metal shows can get rowdy REALLY quick and usually provide wonderful photo opportunites, if you are willing to risk life, limb, and equipment. I like shedding light on these usually unseen worlds," said Loftis.
The photographer who had the very first Reader's Eye published, Rick Harrington, is back this week with a picture taken in December 2006 with a Canon PowerShot S2 IS. "I enjoy Knoxville's beauty, especially along the Neyland Drive waterfront. Photography is a hobby, and I have no formal training.

They kept a close eye on me, but never stopped building. They were very hard workers," said Gibbons. See more of his work at http://www.dawnlightimages.com.
Paul Miller of Alcoa took this photograph of a bear cub in June 2008 in Cades Cove section of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. He used a Canon 40D with an 70-200mm lens.

West Knoxville resident Bob Towns took this photograph of a tulip popular leaf along the Little River Trail July 18, 2008 in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The retiree from facilities engineering at John Deere used a Canon Rebel XTI with a 75-300mm zoom lens set at 300mm. "When shooting, I was concentrating on the grouping, the sun/shade lighting and capturing the leaf color. I'd hoped to also capture some reflections, but we didn't learn until we got the image home .... how much (the reflections) and the shadows added (to the photograph)," said Towns.
Farragut resident Carol Erikson was out for a coffee with her daughter when she stopped to take this shot of the Regal Cinemas Pinnacle 18 Theater at Turkey Creek. "I love the neon lights at the Pinnacle, and have been playing with the 'slap zoom' technique, just to see what I can get when I shoot at night. For me, the challenge is to add interest to the photograph with the pattern of light beams from the zoom without losing the ability to identify the original subject," she said. Erikson used a 1-second exposure on a Nikon D200 and a 18-200mm lens set on a tripod, zooming from a focal length of 52mm to 200mm while the shutter was open.
Angie Bays used a Canon T1i camera to take this photograph of Tyler Bailey sledding on Jan. 31 on her farm in the Big Ridge area of Union County. "I have a LOVE for photography.

She photographed Bailey, her son, Preston Bays, and Dillon Norris — all Union County High School sophomores — for three days as they enjoyed the snow.
West Knox County resident Chris Albrecht made this photograph October 19, 2009 at The Cove at Concord Park. He used a Canon EOS 20D and a zoom lens at 70mm. "It was a cold morning, in the mid 30s; the cold air and warm water combined to create a low-lying fog on the water. The trick was getting the right exposure looking into the rising sun, " said Albrecht in an e-mail. He is a video producer with Nolichucky Pictures.
Cheryl Sharp from Knoxville used a Nikon D5000 and an 18-200mm lens to photograph the Tipton Place on Jan. 13, 2010 in Cades Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. "I love the Great Smoky Mountains and have spent many hours on the Cades Cove Loop Road .... The cabins are peaceful to me and they remind me of the people who loved these mountains before me," said Sharp in an e-mail. She is an internal auditor for the Metropolitan Knoxville Airport Authority.
Hester Kuykendall photographed this icy water wheel Jan. 3 at her business, The Olde Mill Inn Bed and Breakfast in Cumberland Gap, Tenn., which she operates with her daughter, Katrina Massengill. The overshoot wheel is 18 feet in diameter and was built in the early 1800s by the Fitz Water Wheel Company in Hanover, Pa., according Kuykendall.

Maryville entrepreneur Rob Cunningham made this photograph titled "Ole Souls" with Canon 1d Mark III and a 16-35mm lens at a logging camp near Elsie, Oregon. Cunningham said the image appealed to him because he likes to photograph ordinary objects from an unusual perspective - in this case, using a wide-angle view and narrow depth-of-field to lend an artful/journalistic "feel" to worn boots. "I carry my camera everywhere I go ... shooting 50 to 60 images on any given normal day and spend(ing) my time editing and printing," said Cunningham in an e-mail. More of his work can be found online at http://www.robcunningham.smugmug.com/.

Southfield Christian high schools' Damarco White rebounds against Inner-City Baptist high schools' Troy Kazlauskas during third period action Friday January 10, 2014 at Inner-City Baptist high school in Allen Park Southfield Christian won 45-51. / Kirthmon F. Dozier/DFP
Bakari who?
Two-time defending Class D state champion Southfield Christian entered the gym of its biggest rival Allen Park Inter-City Baptist without two-time all-stater Bakari Evelyn.
This was the second game Evelyn, a junior, was out, and reports said Evelyn was planning to transfer.
Hes still in school, Christian senior Damarco White said. But right now were more worried about our next game and what were doing now.
But certainly a team gunning for its third straight state title would miss a player of Evelyns stature.
No, weve got our whole team right here, White said. Everybody thats been at practice; everybody thats been working hard is everybody weve got right here.
And the players who showed up in the Inter-City gym Friday were good enough to record a hard-fought 54-51 victory as the teams opened the Michigan Independent Athletic Conference Blue Division schedule.
No. 1 Christian (6-1) struggled in the first half, trailing the No. 3 Chargers, 26-21, at halftime as the guards completely ignored the 6-foot-7 White.
Interim Christian coach Clennie Brundidge was furious at the half because it was difficult to tell that White was even on the floor.
We decided to give him the ball more, and that got his enthusiasm going, Brundidge said. If youre a ballplayer and you dont touch the ball ... I had to tell them to look for him in the second half, and I had to encourage him to want the ball.
Did he encourage him or threaten him?
I said it in a commanding voice, Brundidge said, laughing.
White tried to establish his offensive game in the second half, and he was successful for a while, scoring six of his eight points early in the third quarter.
Coach said I have to be more aggressive and want the ball, White said. So I came out and got my first six points. But I just couldnt keep it going, so I had to make up for it on defense.
That is how Christian won. The Eagles trailed, 44-41, entering the fourth quarter and held Inter-City to 1-for-14 shooting over the final 8 minutes.
White was a defensive force down the stretch, blocking six shots in the fourth quarter as Inter-City struggled.
Luke Barber led Inter-City with 14 points, and Garrett Kraatz added 11, but all-stater Evan Kraatz had only eight.
If you would have told me Evan would only score eight points and wed have a shot to tie, Id have taken my chances, coach Mark Kraatz said. We havent played in three weeks, but thats the reality of life.
We can shoot the ball better. I know that. But give them credit, they came in and did it.
Kameron Garners 13 points topped Christian, which also struggled shooting. Lindsey Hunter IV scored 12 points, but shot only 4-for-18.
That is where Evelyn would have helped Christian.
Any all-state point guard would make the thing easier, but our kids rallied around the situation, Brundidge said. Theres a lot of people saying were going down because one of our players isnt here, and that was a challenge to them.

Set up the fast poster time out to 90 seconds. Make sure the list is random so not to overload the servers with multiple posts.
Update your "Slow and Manual Poster Blog Links" settings found in the settings menu. Max it out to 4096 KB. It is not documented but the Fast Poster also uses this setting.
To randomize the list, load it into harvester, select the blog analyzer add on, load the list from harvester into the analyzer, select shuffle, then save the list back to the harvester. I find this method much more successful over using the ScrapeBox option "Randomize Comment Poster Blogs List".
Try not to do more than 50 connections at a time unless you have a fast network connection with a fast machine. I use 100 on a dedicated 8 processor (2xquad) machine with a 100MB internet connection. The bots use 10 at a time on the same machine.
Break the list down to 75K to 100K entries at a time. Google "NotePad++" to cut and paste into multiple lists, this is the text editor I use.
Export failed entries from the Comment Poster and reload this list of failed entries into the harvester for a second run. You will normally find 25% or more of the entries are successful on a second try. Don't forget to shuffle this second list as well! A third run will result in even more successes, but the count is usually to low to make the time and effort worth while.
Don't trust the "failed" results in the bottom right column of ScrapeBox. ScrapeBox reports fails with 302 (redirect) errors on posting as well at 500 (server error) errors. There seems to be new plugins on blogs lately that report all posts as 404 (not found) errors even though the post was successful. I find that in most cases, the link is really posted. You can verify this for yourself by exporting the "failed entries" in the comment poster after fast posting and load this failed list back into ScrapeBox and Check Links.
Most important: Buy private proxies for a way higher posting success rate. Don't use the proxies sources built into scrapebox, most these are banned and black listed. Don't mix public and private proxies. I use SB Proxies with great success.

The Raj tells travel talesComment on this story
Cape Town - South African DJ Roger Goode, or The Raj as he is known to his fans, rose to local fame for his first single In The Beginning. He then released his first album Coming up for Air under the dance record label, SheerDance. He has his own show on 5FM, and DJs across country.
How widely have you travelled?
Enough to put me off airports for life!
Your worst experience on a holiday?
Our car was towed away in Spain because we didn't see the unfamiliar No Parking sign as we parked in a refuse disposal area. We spent two days searching for the impound lot and then misunderstood the directions from a traffic officer and ended up walking miles to eventually find the car. Needless to say it was expensive to get it back and I now prefer riding on a scooter.
Your funniest experience?
I met a pilot in Europe who does acrobatic skywriting. At the time he was advertising a party that we were going to. He had been warned several times not to fly too low or too close to the top of the buildings. He accidentally clipped the plane on a pole on the top of a building. After the emergency landing the authorities arrived to deliver a fine. But due to some legality, instead of giving the fine to the pilot, the police read the fine to the actual plane. The pilot was quite chuffed as he didn't own the plane.
What do you avoid during a holiday?
Tourist attractions.
Your favourite restaurant and food during your travels?
La Perla in Sea Point. I love the Vitello (veal) al Limone.
Your favourite place for sundowners, at home or abroad?
I'm not allowed to drink (mom's orders)… but if I were to be a little sneaky I'd say nothing touches the Atlantic seaboard of Cape Town.
As a seasoned traveller and flyer can you share some tips?
Use the system, get frequent flyer miles and get access to the lounges. If you're only going on short trips and need to move around quickly, pack light, only the essentials, and try to avoid checking your luggage in. Renting a car always works out cheaper then taxis but you miss out on cool stories from the locals. - Weekend Argus

A protocol can quickly be defined as a set of rules or language for performing a specific task. For example TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This simply means that TCP/IP is the language that computers on the Internet use to speak to each other.
E-mail has it's own set of rules or protocols to control what means to your e-mail when it's travelling around the Internet. The most common of these e-mail protocols is listed below.
Post Office Protocol 3 is a protocol or set of rules used to download e-mail from a mail server. Most current e-mail applications (Outlook Express, Eudora, Pegasus Mail, etc..) support POP3. The only exception to this rule is AOL.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is a protocol or set of rules for sending e-mail between mail servers. The vast majority of mail servers use SMTP. SMTP is used to send the e-mail to a mail server whilst POP3 is used to retrieve or download the same e-mail.
Internet Message Access Protocol is a protocol or set of rules for retrieving or downloading e-mail from a mail server. IMAP4 is the latest version and is similar to POP3 but has some extra features such as being able to search through your e-mail messages by keyword while the e-mail is still on the server.
Other e-mail terminology
A server is a computer dedicated to managing specific resources on a network (a network being one or more computers connected together and sharing resources). A mail server on a network would consist of at least one PC whose sole function is to send and receive e-mail for the entire network.
The Oxford English dictionary defines spam as irrelevant or inappropriate messages sent on the Internet to a large number of newsgroups or users. Check out our What is spam page for more information
Is forging the mail header (information section) of an e-mail to make it appear that it came from somewhere else. This allows spammers to get past your ISP by using a mail header like mxi.mail.yahoo.com. As far as your ISP is cocerned this is legitimate e-mail from Yahoo and it allows it through.

Twins Cliff and Connan Bartl of Reno. Both teach in public schools and stress the value of having career and technical courses available for district's brightest kids.
- Filed Under
Cliff and Connan Bartl are trying to change stereotypes.
Being twins isn't one of them.
The 52-year-old brothers look identical, both majored in math and mechanics at the University of Nevada, Reno, bought houses next to each other and teach high school students the ins and outs of automotive engines.
Both, who have had successful top-paying careers outside of public school salaries, say the world is an open door of opportunity because of the classes they were able to take at Reno High School.
That was back when public schools had lots of career and technical classes. Now, the few programs left seem to be a dumping ground for counselors who aren't sure what else to do with some kids.
It's that kind of thinking Cliff and Connan want to change.
"These are critical thinking skills," said Connan, who will travel Monday to Kansas City to watch one of his most successful students this year from Spanish Springs High School compete in the Skills USA Championship, a competition that showcases career and technical programs from across the country.
Cliff, who teaches at Truckee Meadows Community College and for charter school Academy for Career Education, will attend with a student, too.
Both volunteer outside of the classroom to travel with students, some who get offered top-paying jobs out of high school.
Cliff has a student who graduated from ACE this year who is being paid $30,000 a year by a mining company to attend college.
Connan said a high school counselor didn't understand the value of college and technical skills when he graduated.
"She saw all these technical courses and thought I wasn't going to college," Connan said. The brothers, children of an elementary school teacher and college professor knew better.
"For me, the classes were easy," Connan said. "It was the stuff in mechanics that made me think."
Cliff, who left a successful job in the aerospace industry, agrees.
"Programs are being lost," said Cliff, who has watched programs at Hug, Wooster, Damonte, McQueen and Sparks high schools shrink or disappear.
The brothers imagine a world with high-achieving students taking classes that involve the kind of critical thinking it takes to fix an engine.

text: Car Crash Victims Screwed by Auto Bailouts GM and Chrysler were freed from most of their legal responsibilities By Kevin Spak, Newser User Posted May 27, 2011 10:59 AM CDT STORY COMMENTS (6) (Newser) – When the government bailed out Chrysler and GM, it freed them from most of their prior legal obligations—including billions owed to the victims of crashes involving defective cars, the Wall Street Journal reports. Though the automakers agreed to continue to be liable for new lawsuits stemming from old vehicle crashes, victims who already had cases in progress against the automakers, or who'd already been awarded money in court, are now stuck begging for some fraction of their money. "We did what we were supposed to do, we went through the legal system," says the grandfather of an infant who died as a result of a passenger seat defect, resulting in one of the larger damage awards at $23 million. "This is a real person. It's not just something to write off on the ledger book." GM and Chrysler released statements expressing sympathy for the victims, but saying they were just some of the multitude who lost out in the restructuring. One former GM bondholder, for example, opines that victims "shouldn't get a higher percentage" of the money owed them than anyone else. "I put up hundreds of thousands of dollars of bonds," he says.

Tim Tebow on the sidelines at the 2013 Sugar Bowl between Florida and Louisville.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Tim Tebow is back.
That's good news to Gators fans, of course, and most certainly ESPN and other major media outlets.
We'll soon find out if it's good for Tebow and the Patriots.
We know that it's been difficult on Twitter the past 15 minutes or so as those pesky "overcapacity" notices pop up occasionally when trying to send a new Tweet. About Tebow of course.
ESPN broke the news, so here is NFL reporter Ed Werder's initial report:
The New England Patriots will sign Tim Tebow, league sources told ESPN.
The Patriots are signing Tebow, who is expected to participate in the team's mandatory minicamp Tuesday, as a quarterback, according to sources.
The move reunites Tebow with Patriots offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels, who was theBroncos' head coach when Denver traded into the first round to draft the Heisman Trophy winner in 2010.
Patriots head coach Bill Belichick often has spoken with admiration for Tebow's versatility, intelligence and character. Belichick covets what he has described as tough, smart, versatile football players.
Last month, Yahoo! Sports cited an "organizational source" as saying Belichick disliked Tebow as a player and there was "no chance" of him landing in New England. Belichick dismissed that notion last week, telling ESPNBoston.com that the report was completely untrue.
Ironically, Tebow's last NFL start came with the Broncos in a blowout playoff loss in Foxborough to Tom Brady and the Patriots following the 2011 season.
Tebow, 25, was released by the New York Jets in late April following a disappointing season as a backup to Mark Sanchez.
The Jets traded a pair of draft picks to Denver in the deal to acquire Tebow but failed to establish a consistent role in the offense for the versatile quarterback.

Can anyone tell me if theses are the free ones,thank you.
Im pretty sure the only free sausages are linda mccartney rosemary and red onion sausages all the rest vary in syn value, I think these are 1/2 or 1 syn each.
The quorn low fat "back by popular demand" sausages are free. The bag in the photo doesn't say that. The free ones come in a box - I've found them in sainsburys and asda.

Pistons vs. Celtics
If you think, because of the two 7 game series against Atlanta and Cleveland, the Celtics don't have what it takes to make it to the promised land, you need to check yourself! The C's found their way out of their funk on the wings of "The Truth" and his explosive offense and "The Big Ticket" and his defensive philosophy. Watching the Celtics battle with Detroit tonight I realized one thing, if the Celtics play like the team with the best record in the NBA, the way they played pretty much all season, they are going to come out on top. Yeah, I know, it was another home victory, and so far that's been standard practice for Boston. But, the Detroit Pistons are not the Atlanta Hawks or the Cleveland Cavaliers, they are a team who has been there, and done that (with the championship belts to prove it). I felt that the energy, tenacity, and all around play-making ability of all the Celtics players showed tonight. This postseason, they've been defined by what they did wrong, and tonight, uh-uh, not even close to that. They let their play and the final score speak for them. They crashed the boards, they made the extra passes, they smothered the opposition, they created turnovers, they played Celtics ball, and most important, they came out on top. We set the tempo early by jumping out to an 8-0 lead, but got away from our game, because we let Detroit take us out of it. But, once the second half started, we didn't let up and we made the Pistons play our game. The result: they got to the line less, we got to the line a bit more, we got stops, they didn't, we won, they lost. I know all of the C's fans out there were waiting for a sign that we are the same team that won 66 regular season games and beat every team in the league at least once. I know we've been waiting to see how we'd match up against "a real playoff team". I know it's only one game and another home victory. I know the Pistons are going to say they were rusty from the rest. But, I also know, if we see more play like this all-around, we're going to be one step closer to the promised land.

The Solidification of the Boston Celtics
Let me start by saying I've been a fan of the NBA since I could remember. Being 25, my most prominent moments in the game belong mostly to Michael Jordan. I admit, while my Celtics were on the downward slide, I rooted for the Bulls. But, honestly, who didn't? And, until this season, there hasn't been much ado in the NBA besides the Lakers, Shaq, Kobe, and LeBron. Oh and I forgot about the lackluster Spurs Sorry Timmy and San Antonio, but we all have. I have watched a superstar in Paul Pierce compete fiercely in futility year after year in Boston... Until this year. Dan the man has finally put all the pieces in place to bring another ring to the NBA city who owns the most. We traded half of our team to get KG. Picked up the best shooter since Reggie Miller in Ray Allen. Then the rest was easy... we were able to sway veteran shooters, rebounders, and champions, who in turn were able to get the young guns on our team to buy into the philosophy that we needed to win: Play unselfish basketball, do all the little things right, and play with a passion and intensity that your opponent cannot even try to match. The result: the best record in the Eastern Conference and complete dominance over the Western Conference in head to head play. We just beat the defending champs for the second time with an all-star on the bench, and to top that, we went and put an exclamatic stop to the second biggest winning streak in NBA history on the road in Houston. I know we still have games to play and points to prove, but I can honestly say without a doubt in my mind, that the Boston Celtics are the best team in the league and it would take nothing short of a miracle to knock them out of their run for the trophy. Try you must though; LA, Houston, Utah, Detroit, Orlando, San Antonio, Phoenix, New Orleans, Dallas, Golden State, and all the other teams that think they belong in a series with the Celts, but your attempts at greatness will be futile against the Mean Green. We will not stop until we have our Tea Party. We are not undefeated and we are not the Patriots. But when push comes to shove: WE WILL NOT LOSE!

Ukrainians Rally in Protest Over Vote-Rigging
Written by Veronica Khokhlova On 7 November 2012 @ 0:22 am | 2 Comments
In Citizen Media, Digital Activism, Eastern & Central Europe, Elections, Governance, Human Rights, Law, Photos, Politics, Protest, Russian, Technology, Ukraine, Ukrainian, Video, Weblog
It's been nine days since the Oct. 28 parliamentary elections [1] in Ukraine – and attempts to finish the vote count still continue [2], quite turbulently, in a number of electoral districts.
The opposition is accusing election officials of re-writing the vote's results in favor of pro-government candidates. On Nov. 5, hundreds of people gathered in Kyiv for a protest rally [3] against vote-rigging – and some of the protesters seem determined to stay in front of the Central Election Commission indefinitely, despite heavy riot police presence at the site and a recent court decision banning rallies in Kyiv.
Oleksandra Kuzhel, a Ukrainian politician running for parliament on the United Opposition/Batkivshchyna Party [5]'s list, wrote this [6] [ru] about the protest and the protesters:
[…] Today the area of the protest isn't just near the [Central Election Commission] – it's much larger. Today it extends to the Internet – to Twitter [hashtag #вибори2012 [7]/elections2012] and Facebook – and to every polling station where confrontations are taking place between the authorities and the Ukrainians – with the latter defending, no, not the politicians, but their own votes, their dignity and the right to be heard. […]
Online reports that have been coming in from disputed districts over the past week offer a good insight into the Ukrainian election routine and also help explain the frustration of ordinary voters.
For example, Andriy Parubiy shared [8] [uk] this incident:
In [Zhytomyr [9]], the head of [a local election commission] represents [the ruling Party of Regions [10]]. And he delivered the signed protocols [with official voting results] not to the district election commission, but to the headquarters of the Party of Regions! We are on our way to get them back now!
Denis Kazanskiy posted this report [11] [ru] from the polling station #141686 in Donetsk [12], the stronghold of the Party of Regions – and Maidan.com.ua included [13] [ru] it, as well as a related video, on its map of violations (more on the crowdsourced monitoring of the elections – in this GV text [14]):
18 Tsusimskaya St. [the polling station's address, but also an allusion to the Battle of Tsushima [15]], the frontline. The place is surrounded by [thugs] and cops, people are blocked inside, a woman is crying and asking for help. An ambulance arrives, but doctors aren't allowed inside. Journalists, representatives of the opposition parties and MP Nalivaichenko come over. The thugs are acting provocatively, aren't letting anyone enter the polling station. An observer's son attempted getting through, but was stopped. Cops ignore calls for help from the inside. It's impossible to get to the truth, there's an absolute chaos, lawlessness, law enforcement officials [are refusing to act].
Artem Shevchenko posted this update [16] [ru] from Kyiv:
The Kyiv Battle. Frontline dispatches: the enemy has been completely defeated and is desperately counterattacking on the front's sections #216 and #211 [voting districts] – the re-count of votes in accordance with court decisions there. District #223 – one more pocket of resistance: fierce fighting is taking place for the fourth day in a row there, both sides are suffering huge losses of [personnel and arsenal]. Today, our troops have captured the Dnieper [bridgehead [17], strategically important for Kyiv – altitude #214 [another voting district], where the enemy [Oles Dovhyi, former Kyiv's deputy mayor] announced a complete and unconditional capitulation to avoid further bloodshed.
Yaroslav Bondarenko also mentioned [18] [uk] Kyiv's voting district #214 in his Facebook update:
Had a good laugh because of a member of the commission and the observers from [Oles Dovhyi], who insisted that one of the ballots had to be counted in favor of Oles – it had this written in neatly next to his name: "A rare [bastard]." They were dead serious when they insisted that this ballot could not be considered invalid: "It is clearly visible which of the candidates the voter has selected."
Just a few hours ago, reports [19] [uk] started coming in of the violations during the re-count of votes at Kyiv's disputed district commission #223, mentioned in one of the "frontline reports" above. RadioSvoboda.org (RFE/RL) has been doing an unprecedented non-stop live broadcast [20] [uk, ru] for much of the past week from this place, which many compare to a 'Big Brother'-style reality show. (Twitter hashtag #ОВК223 [21]; Mustafa Nayyem's photos are here [22]; screenshots of the live broadcast are here [23].)
LJ user frankensstein posted this account [24] [ru] and video from Donetsk:
The farce at Donetsk [local polling stations] was so obvious that I do not understand how these elections can be deemed legitimate: [election commission members] for [the Party of Regions] were posing as registered representatives of all sorts of pseudo-parties, such as the Anarchists' Union, the Brotherhood, the Pensioners' Party, etc. The Donetsk "anarchists" could not say what anarchy was or name at least one classic of anarchism, a "member of the Brotherhood" couldn't name the address of the Donestk office of this party (not surprising, as [there is none there]) and didn't know who Dmitry Korchinsky [the Brotherhood's leader] was. But I recorded the most glaring example at the polling station #141677 in the 42nd district. There, none of the commission members knew which party they represented.
After the commotion that our visit caused at this polling station, the police and some [thugs] showed up. The polling station was blocked for the whole night, [Vitaly Klitschko [25]'s Udar Party [26]] representative Galina Khilinskaya, who was trying to prevent falsifications, was being insulted and kept inside forcefully. In the morning, she was hospitalized with a heart attack.
I continue to insist: there were no elections in Donetsk. The Donetsk results should not be recognized.
In a comment, LJ user bolshoi explained the shortcomings of the Ukrainian system of setting up local election commissions:
[Election commission members] are just earning money and following instructions. They may not know who they are representing – it's an idiotic legal norm that has few analogs in the world. In civilized countries, local officials and law enforcement officials work at polling stations, and the Interior Ministry is responsible for the elections. And here they are appointing unprofessional people on the commissions, people who may be ignorant of the basic legal norms – and they are paying salaries to them for two months, too.
In a follow-up comment, LJ user bolshoi concluded, however, that even if a more advanced voting system were adopted in Ukraine, it would still end up being violation-prone:
[…] In European practice, voting by mail and by proxy are a norm. And early voting is usually allowed. It's obvious what proxy voting would turn into in Ukraine. But still, some professionalization of the work of electoral commissions is necessary. There's another way of looking at it, of course: the level of falsifications reflects the level of development of a society. The Ukrainian election law gives more formal defenses against falsifications than anywhere else in Europe. To cheat in, say, Holland, or […] to check who people voted for in England, is a lot easier [than in Ukraine]. But it doesn't even occur to anyone to do it [there]. [In Ukraine] the procedure is a lot more complex. But they are doing it. Because they want to.
The most violent voting district so far has been the town of Pervomaysk in Mykolayiv [27] region, where the pinnacle of vote-rigging achievement was reached with the active support from riot police, which stormed the district election commission #132, beating a number of protesters gathered outside in the process.
Vakhtang Kipiani re-posted a YouTube video of the storming and wrote [28] [uk]:
The police aren't with the people, they are with [the ugly ones]. If the opposition ever comes to power, it has to [get everyone fired] in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and re-create the police from scratch following [the example of the Republic of Georgia [29]]. If, that is, they indeed have the political will to change the country – instead of just embellishing the stinking corpse of [the Soviet past].

- thiamine
A heat-labile and water-soluble essential vitamin, belonging to the vitamin B family, with antioxidant, erythropoietic, mood modulating, and glucose-regulating activities. Thiamine reacts with adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to form an active coenzyme, thiamine pyrophosphate. Thiamine pyrophosphate is necessary for the actions of pyruvate dehydrogenase and alpha-ketoglutarate in carbohydrate metabolism and for the actions of transketolase, an enzyme that plays an important role in the pentose phosphate pathway. Thiamine plays a key role in intracellular glucose metabolism and may inhibit the action of glucose and insulin on arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation. Thiamine may also protect against lead toxicity by inhibiting lead-induced lipid peroxidation. Check for active clinical trials using this agent. (NCI Thesaurus)
Synonyms: aneurin
B1 vitamin
vitamin B1
Abbreviation: vit B1 Chemical structure: 2-[3-[(4-amino-2-methyl-pyrimidin-5-yl)methyl]-4-methyl-1-thia-3-azoniacyclopenta-2,4-dien-5-yl]ethanol

the boots....
i have been obsessed with emmanuelle's thigh high boots from the first instant i laid eyes on them. thigh high boots are ever so practical too! look- you can even ride a bike in them (or at least pose on one) i have been searching high and low for the perfect pair. they must be suede, have a slightly rounded toe, covered slightly chunky heel (the louboutin monica will not do-too narrow). i think i have found the perfect pair: jimmy choo hampton $1300 sold out at net-a-porter. sigh. perhaps i have to look at a hoochie store like bebe or guess for a knock off :(

I rarely ever have any regrets, but i've always kicked myself for not purchasing a pair of Michael Kors over the knee flat black suede boots. I can totally imagine them now, and all the ways i could wear them. God damn it! If you find any $400 (roughly) versions let me know...

Name: Mary Huff, artistic director of the New York City Childrens Chorus
Family: Husband, Andrew Henderson; sons Elliot, 7, and Christian, 5
Education: Bachelors in music from Furman, masters from Yale
No matter where she goes, Mary Huff always has Greenville in her heart.
Huff has a masters degree from Yale Universitys Institute of Sacred Music, and shes been on the stage at Carnegie Hall, but she gives credit to the teachers in Greenville who helped foster her musical skills, from her first-grade piano teacher Ruby Morgan all the way to her professors at Furman University.
Its amazing, all these people in Greenville were so formative, Huff says.
As a middle-schooler she played piano preludes at Trinity United Methodist Church, and later participated in music programs at Travelers Rest High School and the Fine Arts Center.
My musical training in Greenville prepared me for being with the some of the finest musicians in the country at Yale, says Huff, who now works as associate director of music at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church and artistic director of the New York City Childrens Chorus.
From little old Greenville, she chuckles.
A bit of Greenville made its mark on national TV a few weeks ago when Huff led the New York City Childrens Chorus in a performance of Silent Night on Saturday Night Live, a tribute to the 20 children who died in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn.
Initially, Huff says, the choir was set to perform only one song on Saturday Night Live, a rendition of Wonderful Christmastime with musical guest Paul McCartney.
Huff received the invitation to perform the previous Monday, and a few days later and she and the chorus found themselves on the NBC set rehearsing with McCartney.
He was lovely, really just wonderful, she says. He is a trained choral director in addition to being the king of rock n roll, and hes a gifted classical composer as well. So he understands training childrens voices. He was just wonderful to me and the children. On the set, he called me the choir boss lady, which I was just proud of. He seemed to have a great deal of respect for what we were doing.
But after the world learned of the tragedy at Sandy Hook, the SNL producers asked Huff if the children could sing something in addition to the piece with McCartney.
They requested Silent Night as the show opener, and Huff chose the first and fourth verses of the song for the two-minute performance.
We ended with, Sleep in heavenly peace, and that seemed like the best tribute to the children in Connecticut, Huff recalls.
The young singers, who ranged in age from 9 to 16, were more thrilled to meet SNL stars Seth Meyers and Bobby Moynahan than musical icon McCartney, she says
It was interesting, says Huff. The kids were over the moon about singing on Saturday Night Live, and their parents were over the moon about (them) singing with Paul McCartney. So there was definitely a generation gap.
The performance helped the kids deal with the powerlessness so many people felt while watching news reports of the school massacre, she says.
The older ones, several of them said to me that when they found out about what happened in Connecticut, they felt really helpless. And they just felt like they had done something really good by singing. And sometimes when youre faced with tragedy, all you can do is hug the people you love, and sing.
The New York City Childrens Chorus was organized last September, although Huff has taught music in New York for the past eight years.
Huffs husband Andrew Henderson, whom she met at Yale, is organist and director of music at Madison Avenue Presbyterian Church, and he also teaches music, but his students are mostly adults.
We have the exact same skill set, except I prefer to work with people under 5 feet tall, Huff says.
She prefers to work with kids because they have no fear. They dont realize that a note is too high or a passage is too difficult. And adults come with baggage.
Huff, whose father is retired Furman professor A.V. Huff, comes back to Greenville often. Her 7-year-old son Elliot attends summer music camps at Furman, and Huff spends several weeks a year in her hometown.
If New York was in the South, I would move there in a heartbeat, Huff says.
Music runs through Huffs veins, and she is a big believer in the soul-refreshing power of song.
Her own favorite music is by composer Johann Sebastian Bach.
Bachs music is never easy, its always challenging. There is always new beauty to be discovered. You can never fully appreciate every detail because its always so complex and so beautiful.

Applicants in countries (such as the United States) in which law is studied at the graduate level must have completed at least one full year of full- or part-time study at an accredited law school at the time the program begins. Applicants in countries (such as Germany) in which law is studied at the university level must have completed at least two years of legal education at an institution recognized as capable of conferring degrees which fulfill a necessary condition for the graduates to practice law in the country of the institution. While we anticipate that the majority of students in the program will be law students at U.S. law schools, applications are welcomed from eligible applicants from throughout the world.
English Language Requirement
This program is conducted entirely in English. Students whose native language is not English and who have not studied for at least two years at a university in which the principal language of instruction is English must demonstrate their competency in English by submitting proof of an IBT-version TOEFL score of 100 or greater.
Application Procedure
We are currently accepting applications on a rolling basis. If you are reading this, there is still space available, and we will make an announcement here once the class has been filled.
Students interested in participating in the program must complete and submit the:
Munich Summer Intellectual Property Program Application
Please read the disclosures on the Disclosures and Frequently Asked Questions page before submitting your application.
Applications will be considered as they are received. Once the maximum number of students for each two-week session have been admitted to the program, a limited number of applications will be accepted for a waiting list.
Students admitted to the program will have to pay a non-refundable deposit of $500 within two weeks of receiving notification of admission to secure their place in the program. The deposit will be credited toward program tuition. The balance of the tuition will be due on June 1, 2014. Payment of the application fee may be made by check or money order in U.S. funds and drawn on a U.S. bank and made payable to The George Washington University; further details on payment of tuition fees will be provided upon admission to the program.
Tuition for Summer 2015 is $2500 for one two-week session or $5000 for the full four-week program. The additional cost of required books and written materials is estimated to be approximately $200; some materials may be made available cost-free as pdf files, and will be printed for students only upon their request.
Cancellation and Refunds
GW does not anticipate canceling the program. However, if it becomes necessary due to world events, gross under enrollment (fewer than 20 students), or other circumstances to cancel or significantly change the program, all applicants and/or admitted students will be promptly notified and provided a full refund of all monies paid within 20 days of the date of cancellation or significant change. Students will be given an opportunity to withdraw from the program with a full refund of all monies paid if the U.S. State Department ever declares the program site to be an "Area of Instability" or if a U.S. State Department Travel Warning is ever issued for Germany. For a cancellation that occurs after a deposit has been paid, we will use our best efforts to make arrangements for each student enrolled to attend a similar program, if the student so desires.

A credit is coming to thousands of DTE Energy customers who lost power in Royal Oak and Berkley last month.
About 8,000 customers, residential and commercial, will get credits that range from $25 to $250.
The power outage stemmed from a substation fire on July 17 in the area of 13 Mile and Woodward. The energy company cut power to thousands while they worked on repairs. They haven't said exactly what caused the fire but think it could have been excessive heat that contributed to an equipment malfunction.
Some of customers were without power for nearly two days.
Those getting the credit should see it on their bill within two to three months.

HP's Willingness to Buy
12:10 PM -- Hewlett-Packard's purchase of Polyserve, announced last night, raises the question: Why would HP go to all the trouble to buy a company with which it already enjoys a solid OEM relationship? And, why now? (See HP Bags Polyserve.)
Clearly, HP values Polyserve's network file virtualization capabilities, which include clustering and support for iSCSI -- de rigeur features for any company aiming to play in today's ultra-competitive NAS market. And clearly, HP sees NAS, one of the hottest growth areas in storage, as strategic enough not to want to share its partners with anyone else.
But even with Polyserve in its pocket, HP can't claim any first-strike advantage against EMC and NetApp when it comes to basic NAS features. And none of the three are yet in the league with NAS startups like Exanet, Isilon, OnStor, and Panasas when it comes to advanced capabilities. (See EMC Takes CDP Downmarket , Isilon's Counting on Clusters, and Clusters & CDP: Well Matched.)
Is HP too late? That remains to be seen. Much depends on whether the Polyserve buy can liven up channel sales. After all, HP, like EMC and NetApp, plays a numbers game. If its channels can see more value in HP's IT wares across the board, so much the better. And as StorageIO analyst Greg Schulz pointed out last night, Polyserve isn't just about clustered NAS; it's also got some interesting database consolidation and migration capabilities that Schulz sees as intriguing complements to virtual storage.
The pressure's on. HP is at a crucial juncture. The world is watching whether the vendor can leverage what it's got in a creative way. If it can, EMC and NetApp will have to watch out. If it can't, well -- let's not go there just yet.

Recommendations for first cards to craft?
Post Reply
Return to board index
Post by
Just wondering if anyone had any suggestions as to cards that new players should be trying to craft if they don't get them in packs.
Personally, I crafted a couple Counterspells as soon as I could, but I'm looking for more to build or at least aim at building (since I'm low on dust now).
Emperor Cobra looks like a good candidate, but I was looking for suggestions from other people. Thanks for any contributions to the thread!
Post by
Assuming the class that you play most often is a mage, the next card you could try to craft is Kirin Tor Mage if you're playing a mage secret deck. You should also try to get Blizzard and most importantly Pyroblast to finish the opponent off.
However, there are a lot of neutral cards that are very good as well that you would want to craft. This includes, but isn't limited to Azure Drake, Shattered Sun Cleric, Dark Iron Dwarf, and Defender of Argus.
Have fun =)
Edit: Excuse me, btw, if any of the cards I listed do not have to be crafted. I just got a key today =D
Post by
I don't know how long you have been playing, but I would level each class to Level 10 before crafting any cards. That way you know which class you really want to play. Then I would look at a deck guide to see if there are any that seem to match your play style and go from there crafting the card for that class before neutral cards.

Pretty much what Zacknafien said, but I'd also suggest entering the Arena and earning some packs, nothing worse than crafting a card and then opening it in a pack :P

Ragnaros, best finisher for any deck!
Post by
For your first craft, I would strongly reccommend crafting something with silence, like
/spellbreaker or
Ironbeak Owl
/ironbeak-owl. Silence against powerful minions is like killing them (bonus points if you target a legendary, a totem, or a minion buffed with King's Blessing). It's a neutral card, and is useful for every class (specially those without many "Destroy minion" cards, like paladins or druids). Also, ironbeak costs 2: that would be cheap even for a "silence minion" spell, and is also a creature.
I agree with the post above about levels. Level every hero to 10 and get all basic cards. At that time, you'll probably have a favorite class already, and you will know what you need.
Personally, i only craft neutral cards. I find them to be the most useful as the daily quest and the arena force you to try a new class every day, and you can use them in every match.
Post by
I would say craft some neutral cards that would complete your decks until you get more cards by reaching lvl 10 or buying them. Get some silences, removal, versatile cards (you can often have two use for a card, you choose the one you want once you play it), etc.
You can also browse the deck guides and find popular guides or guide that you like and craft the cards you miss to actually play them.
Post by
Spellbreaker and Ironbeak Owl are great suggestions, thanks! Thank you everyone for your input so far!
Post by
sounds to me you want to build a mage/secret deck, then you definitely need kirin tor mage, and also blizzard, being one of the best rare slot
in general, cards like argent commander, which are great in any class/deck

John took his first tentative steps into stand up in 1999 and just 3 months after his first appearance found himself doing his first run at the Edinburgh Festival with the Stand comedy club in Stand up Scotland a showcase for the best new talent emerging on the Scottish scene.
From there he became involved in the clubs sketch troupe and completed another four Edinburgh runs with the Fish Supper sketch show . The show received great critical acclaim and went on to a pilot for BBC Scotland but sadly didn't go all the way to a TV series. It was then that he decided to concentrate more on stand up, with the end result being him winning the Scottish section of the Spike Milligan award for new talent in 2003.
In 2004 John then decided to follow a full time career in stand up and moved to England. In the four short years that followed he now finds himself headlining and MCing all the major clubs around the UK and has gigged as far afield as the Middle East. A favourite with audiences and promoters alike it looks like this man is just getting started.

When light passes through, his face becomes clearly illuminated and his wide open eyes and broad grin display his sheer joy and merriment. Set into an ornately crafted 14k yellow gold mount with beaded bezel, this man in the moon will bring light into your life forever.
