Yes, it's obvious not everyone who plays the game posts on the forum so this list won't be complete since it won't have all players included in it, but you can invite everyone else to post here his/her preferences.
Besides we do need a thread where we point out things that are more immediate to look at than others, at least as a general preference. And most of all this can sort of help as a guideline, so i wish everyone could post here their wishes (i mean the overall community not just the forum active posters)
No this not meant as a debate thread, no complain thread, just as a mere wish list thread where as many players as possible participate and that's it!
I will list only buffs for now. (i still don't agree with lv 4 miff tho)
- Phoenix should have an actionskill. I don't like the idea that only characters like zuga and that refess level 3 undead get an extra skill besides the eternal revival close skill.
- Death Knight. He is a level 7. All the low undeads have some sort of extra close skill effect. This guy should more so have a better close skill or a good extra skill since max hp hate will be far stronger on him, simply because it's harder to get him out.
- Elite Crest Knight is one of the many crappy / bad crest units and another reason why dutchy of crest sux and needs immediate attention. When did you last time see this unit get played anyway?
- Magic Doll is garbage.
- Crest Regenerator Knight weak and understated garbage!
- Holy Emperor / Retear 5 stars should all have a soul skill of some sort to make them worth getting (i'd argue even 3 and 4 stars should all have one usefull interesting SS)
- Lycanthrope [Scylla] - garbage
Moon and Soul / Noirweiden even greater garbage
- Ancient Zombie Lord - stats of a level 2, price of a level 4 ... -3 LP if you want to get something out of him, which isn't worth it. Rather play nightwing which actually does something. -.- Awful awful awful card!
- Gunner Girl / Yuni - i think i've already recycled my yuni because she sux badly (note: this is not the ex version) and she really should have an SS it's a 4 star! An unique skill on it should be the very least reason to have it!
- God Lance / Estoma - GARBAGE! i don't want to recycle him, he would make a great card art addition to folrart ...
- Roar of Courage / Brave - he should be an ex worth getting, he is not!
- The Dark Eye / Wabell - it has the stats of a level 7, but no real good skill aside from the fact that it locks your file for few turns after you play him and also his cost is basically about that of a level 7 anyway (you loose 4 sp AT LEAST 4 sp for good, could be even more SP you actually loose!) It's far better to play fire dragon or earth dragon!
- Elder Druid the actionskill is overcosted for a 20 HP vanilla unit also she is slow
- Shield Coat / Fierte - still awful as an unit, that DF is so insignificant, she is ridiculously underpowered these days and everyone agreed for many sets now she needs a buff so she should get one ...
- EX: Dance Macabre / Lelein - only way this will be ever good is there is a strong level debuffer in the game that makes it worth playing this unit. There was. Problem was it was nerfed (instead of nerfing returns).
- EX: Evangelical Hymn / Gospel - should cost 0 SP on revive
- Beast King / Scarrion - he will be bashed into the ground with ease and his actionskill is missplace since he already costs a lot to get out.
- Lady of the Megiddo / Belfyna - too easy to make her backfire or rendered useless. And i can't remember when was the last time i've seen her played. (set 4?)
- Crest Cursed Swordsman - another HORRID dutchy of the crest
- Gun Princess' Sword / Mizalio - AWFULLY HORRID HORRIBLE GARBAGE UNIT!
There are a lot more, but whatever the list of to fix stuff is too long.

Mills says Affinion and its subsidiaries used deceptive practices to get unwitting consumers to sign up for services such as credit monitoring, roadside assistance and discounted travel.
Maine has joined a $30 million nationwide settlement against a Connecticut-based company that Attorney General Janet Mills says misled unwitting consumers into signing up for discount clubs and memberships.
Mills says Affinion and its subsidiaries, Trilegiant and Webloyalty, offered services such as credit monitoring, roadside assistance and discounted travel.
Mills says several consumers have complained that they were being charged for the services without their knowledge or consent, and had trouble canceling or getting refunds.
One of the schemes the company used involved mailing consumers checks that, when endorsed and deposited, allowed Affinion to enroll them in "membership programs" for which they were charged monthly.
Under the settlement terms, Affinion is establishing a $19 million fund to provide refunds to consumers who did not authorize the monthly charges. Another $13.5 million from the settlement is being set aside for states for consumer protection efforts.

"Personality and Jewelry Will Conquer Everything"- Zandra Rhodes
23 comments:
- The View from High Heels said...
She's absolutely right about jewellery and personality. But I would add shoes to the mix. Nothing cancels out a great outfit like the wrong pair of shoes. Think about a great pair of jeans worn with running shoes. Then think about the same jeans paired with high-heeled sandals. Totally different looks.
- July 24, 2012 at 12:48 PM
I believe she has enough personality that she really doesn't need the jewelry! Lovely.

OMG! I can't believe you had dinner with Zandra Rhodes - that is too cool for words, as is she. I love the head to toe pink! She is right on the money about the jewellery and the personality, both of which she has buckets.

Absolutely true! As I get older, I care so much more about a person's character. It's great to have fun with fashion and jewelry, but truly, it's the inner you that shines through. That is what people react to.

It's so refreshing to hear someone speak about how valuable having character is, rather than looking how everyone else does. She isn't a slave to fashion, and it's so very inspiring!

Jealous of the fact that you had tea with Zandra Rhodes - this is such a delicious, coulourful, bold outfit. I only wish I'd ever be brave enough to wear this at any point during my life - because it is not only a style statement, it's a statement about character and not being afraid to be yourself.
I love her style tips, proves what a character she is and I also sleep with my make-up on, but mainly because I'm too lazy to take it off at night. :)

Hello Seth,
Congratulations on your successful showcase of remaining stylish as we advance in years...
At age 88 myself, I still dress to the nines, complete with jewellery that you might say, complements my personality.
Zandra Rhodes is a fabulous example of 'daring to be different' or daring to be oneself!
By the way, your site is on my blogroll at www.suzannetony.wordpress.com

Yu Darvish retired the first 17 batters, Texas hit five home runs and the Rangers beat the Kansas City Royals 8-4 Monday in a game that turned testy.
Adrian Beltre and Nelson Cruz homered on consecutive pitches in the sixth inning. Cruz watched his drive sail over the wall, then was hit by Louis Coleman's first pitch leading off the ninth.
Cruz took a few steps to the mound and was restrained by catcher Brayan Pena. The dugouts and bullpens emptied, but only words were exchanged. Both teams were issued a warning by plate umpire Mike Everitt.
Mike Young answered that by homering on the next pitch.

Earthy Day 2013 – We're Doing Our Part – Are You?
Earth Day is a universally loved celebration day. It is not narrowly defined as religious, nationalistic, familial, war-related or governmental. Rather, it is globally recognized day to celebrate the wonders of Mother Earth that we all share, with more than one billion people around the world expected to take part in some form of commemorating the 43rd anniversary of Earth Day. It is also a day intended to encourage everyone to stop, reflect on the state of our Earth and the environment, and consider what each of us can do to improve, enhance and preserve our world.
Carbonfund.org is proud to acknowledge our many business partners that are doing their part to honor Earth Day and helping to protect our natural environment.
We lead off with global IT services leader CA Technologies and its significant commitment to host the annual CA World event, its largest global gathering of customers and partners, during Earth Week as a completely CarbonFree® Event.
"Sustainability is integral to our business and we believe it's important to lead by example," explained Cynthia Curtis, chief sustainability officer, CA Technologies. "Ensuring CA World 2013 is a carbon neutral event demonstrates to customers, partners and employees that we are serious about our sustainability commitment. We believe that sustainability isn't just the right thing to do -- it's smart business."
CarbonFree® Business Partner Solosso Pte LTD of Switzerland, offering beautifully custom-designed men's dress shirts to the world's executives, chose Earth Day 2013 to launch a new campaign to plant a tree for each shirt purchased by its customers.
"As a clothing company, we want to lead the way to sustainability in an industry that is infamous for its carbon emissions," says Jan Klimo, Head of Business Development at Solosso.
The International Legal Technology Association has planted 1500 trees this Earth Day, in honor of its membership, expected to eclipse 1500 this year.
Nextiva, a leading unified communications and business VoIP service provider, and a CarbonFree® Business for the past five years, is planting a tree for each of its customers this Earth Day.
"We feel the tree planting activities align perfectly with our goal of being a "green" organization. We have a strong commitment to providing great customer service, so we are honoring our customers with tree planting certificates as "thank you" notes to recognize their loyalty to Nextiva," explains Kambria Nagy, Marketing Communications Manager at Nextiva.
MaMa Organic Market of Bethesda, Maryland has launched a program to plant one tree for every customer purchase. This is an important initiative intended to honor the store's namesake, who they lost at a young age, and whose commitment to nature and the world's less fortunate creatures inspires the company's dedication to sustainable operations and customer service.
Carbonfund.org business partner Nice Touch Communications (NTC), based in New York City, was an early leader in charitable giving programs with its Telecom for Charity Every Day is Earth Day initiative. NTC is a sales and consulting firm that has been providing voice and data solutions for over 15 years, and they launched Telecom for Charity in 2008. NTC works with businesses, non-profits, charities and other organizations to provide top tier telecom services while also donating 5% of each customer's monthly telecom bill to their selected charity through the Telecom for Charity program.
"We wholeheartedly believe in what Carbonfund.org is doing; and feel our program can be a great way to generate support with minimal effort for a long time to come," says Jay Frank, Program Director for Telecom for Charity.
These are but a few examples of the ways that Carbonfund.org is working in conjunction with our loyal business partners to help them honor the environment on Earth Day and beyond.
If you haven't taken action for Earth Day, it's not too late.
Plant trees for your customers, clients, family, friends, neighbors, network as part of our Million Tree Challenge – we're over halfway there!
Support our clean energy and carbon reduction projects around the world.
Join in the global celebration of Earth Day and help us hasten the transition to a cleaner energy future.
CarbonFree® Business Partner Hacienda Business Park and City of Pleasanton Host Green Scene Fair
One of the primary components of Carbonfund.org's mission is to provide climate change education and public outreach through our programs, and through our business partners and supporters. Two of Carbonfund.org's business partners recently teamed up in a great example of public outreach, hosting a zero-waste event in their community.
The City of Pleasanton, CA and Hacienda Business Park Owners Association hosted the 3rd annual Pleasanton Green Scene Fair on September 20th at Hacienda West. The event featured over 100 exhibitors providing information, demonstrations, raffles and samples of products related to health and nutrition, energy efficiency, commuting alternatives, water conservation, recycling, and locally-sourced foods. The event also included a special display of alternative fuel vehicles, a mini-farmers market and the "Off The Grid" gourmet food trucks selling natural and sustainable treats.
Hacienda Business Park Owners Association has been a CarbonFree® Business Partner since 2007, calculating and neutralizing annual operational emissions by supporting Carbonfund.org's carbon reduction and clean energy technology projects. And Hacienda's Owners Association helps to spread the word about Carbonfund.org's mission and projects, including the Million Tree Challenge, to the many businesses that occupy Hacienda's properties. They also recommended that the City of Pleasanton contact Carbonfund.org to evaluate the fair's carbon emissions and create a program to mitigate emissions associated with the day's events by supporting Carbonfund.org's clean air projects.
The road to succeeding in the fight against climate change and to hasten our transition to a cleaner energy future is to act boldly and work together to engage businesses, communities and networks to join in local and global efforts. The Pleasanton Green Scene Fair is a great example of partnership among a local business leader in sustainable operations, their environmentally-aware municipality and Carbonfund.org to promote environmental conservation and sustainable business practices in their community.

HOLLIS, ME-- We have an update on a 10-year old girl from Hollis, whose ground breaking multi-organ transplant garnered world wide attention.
Alannah Shevenell was given a fifty-fifty change of surviving the surgery that replaced her stomach, pancreas, spleen, liver, small bowel and a portion of her esophagus.
In the year since she's come home from the hospital, the fourth grader is living a life her family says they only dreamed about.
Like most ten-year olds Alannah Shevenell loves hanging out with her bff Laura. It's been a long and unbelievable journey for this little girl beaten incredible odd since undergoing a ground breaking transplant a year and a half ago.
A team of doctors at Children's Hospital in Boston removed a rare and fast growing tumor and replaced six of the organs that were caught in it's tentacles. It was the first know esophageal transplant in the world and the largest number of organs transplanted at one time in New England. Her recovery since coming home a year ago has been amazing but not without stress for her grandparents, who legally adopted her.
'You are always afraid something is going to go wrong, could she be rejecting, could she get sick, could she get a germ, we got through two colds, it was nerve wrecking for me, but she seemed to do fine,' said Debie Skolas, Alannah's Grandmother.
Alannah has weaned off the majority of the more than six dozen medications, but still takes a few anti-rejection drugs each morning and night. Blood tests and check up's come every two or three months and Alannah returned to school full-time for the first time last fall.
Without any rejection problems her grandparents are able to start planning for Alannah's future. And for this family there isn't a day they don't appreciate the donation of all of the organs, which came from one child.
And the fact that Alannah, who spent the majority of her life in and out of the hospitals is living the life of a 'normal' kid.
Alannah still has one more operation. Next month, doctors in Boston will connected her transplanted small intestine to her large intestine. But the procedure is considered routine. She will have to take anti-rejection drugs all of her life.

Almighty God, we give you thanks for surrounding us, as daylight fades, with the brightness of the vesper light; and we implore you of your great mercy that, as you enfold us with the radiance of this light, so you would shine into our hearts the brightness of your Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Grant us, Lord, the lamp of charity which never fails, that it
may burn in us and shed its light on those around us, and
that by its brightness we may have a vision of that holy City,
where dwells the true and never-failing Light, Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
O Lord God Almighty, as you have taught us to call the
evening, the morning, and the noonday one day; and have
made the sun to know its going down: Dispel the darkness of
our hearts, that by your brightness we may know you to be
the true God and eternal light, living and reigning for ever
and ever. Amen.
Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep
darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night;
who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon
the surface of the earth: The Lord is his name. Amen.

From Edmunds.com
People often choose crossovers for the roomy cabins they offer, but the vehicles in this category obviously aren't all created equal, especially when it comes to front-passenger room. Drivers who are much taller or wider than average know that they need to focus on choices which are especially spacious in the front row.
If you're one of these drivers and you're currently shopping for a crossover or SUV, there's no substitute for actually sitting in the vehicle and seeing how it suits your frame. Still, this list of the 12 models (the count exceeds our typical 10 due to ties) with the most front-passenger room may help you narrow your list of candidates. We ranked each vehicle based on an average of head-, hip- and legroom, and all measurements shown are in inches.
One more thing: Taller drivers who worry about regularly head-butting the roof may want to think twice about getting a sunroof, since this feature often shaves inches off headroom.

COPD Flare-Ups
Topic Overview
When you have COPD, especially if you have chronic bronchitis, you may sometimes have sudden attacks where your breathing and coughing symptoms suddenly get worse and stay that way. These attacks are called COPD exacerbations, or flare-ups.
With treatment, many people recover and return to the same level of shortness of breath they had before the attack.
These attacks are often life-threatening. If your symptoms suddenly get worse, and if taking your medicine doesn't help, have someone take you to the emergency room. Call 911 if needed.
COPD attacks often occur more frequently, last longer, and are more severe the longer you have COPD.
The two most common causes of a COPD attack are:1
- A lung infection, such as acute bronchitis or pneumonia. Infections are the most common cause of COPD attacks. Infections usually are caused by viruses but can also be caused by bacteria.
- Air pollution.
Other causes may include heart failure, allergic reactions, inhaling food or stomach contents into the lungs, and exposure to temperature changes or chemicals. In about 33 out of 100 attacks—about a third—the cause is not known.1
Here's what happens during an attack:
- Your lungs may suddenly produce more mucus. Or the airways of your lungs (bronchial tubes) may suddenly get narrower.
- These two things reduce the airflow in your lungs.
- And that makes it harder to breathe and makes your coughing worse.
In a COPD attack, your usual symptoms suddenly get worse:
- You have more shortness of breath and wheezing.
- You have more coughing, with or without mucus.
- You may cough up more mucus than usual, and it may be a different color.
Some people also have a fever, insomnia, fatigue, depression, or confusion.
Treatment of a COPD attack depends on how bad it is. It may involve several visits to your doctor's office or clinic. Or you may need to be treated in the hospital.
To treat COPD attacks, experts recommend:
which are medicines that relax the bronchial tubes and make it easier to
breathe. These medicines may include:
- Inhaled anticholinergics (such as ipratropium).
- Beta2-agonists (such as albuterol).
- Oral corticosteroids, which are medicines that reduce the swelling in your airways and may make breathing easier. They are typically given for 5 days to up to 14 days to those who aren't already taking them as part of their long-term treatment.
- A machine to help you breathe. This is called mechanical ventilation. It is used only if medicine is not helping and you are having a very hard time breathing.
- Oxygen, to increase the amount of oxygen in your blood.
- Antibiotics, which are often used when a bacterial infection is considered likely. People with COPD have an increased risk of pneumonia and frequent lung infections. Although most infections are caused by viruses, some are caused by bacteria. Most studies support the use of antibiotics. But some experts believe that since most breathing attacks are caused by viruses, antibiotics should not be used unless there is a known bacterial infection.
Treatment may also include:
- Intravenous (IV) fluids, to treat dehydration.
- Other bronchodilators, such as intravenous theophylline. These are used only if other treatments don't work.
- Diuretics , which remove water from the body by making your body produce more urine. These medicines are used if you are suspected of having heart failure.

Restore missing gvim menu bar under GNOME
this wiki
created September 8, 2011 · complexity basic · version 7.0
What to do if Vim's menu bar disappears due to a bug in GNOME, so that gvim cannot display its menu?
Changing guioptions
The standard method for displaying or hiding the menu bar is to use these commands in gvim:
:set guioptions+=menable (display) menu bar
:set guioptions-=mdisable (hide) menu bar
If you are using Gnome/Metacity, a problem may prevent the menu bar from being displayed: Gnome tries to dock the menu in a place where you cannot see it. A test to see if this is the issue is to open gvim as root (with
sudo gvim), then see if the menu can be enabled and disabled using the above commands.
Open a terminal and enter the command:
rm ~/.gnome2/Vim
rm ~/.gnome/Vim
That is, delete the file under your home directory where Gnome keeps its settings for Vim. It will be recreated when you run gvim again. With luck, the menu will be displayed again.
- Deleting the file
~/.gnome2/Vimworked, but the problem recurs. Examining this file shows that the problem is that the toolbar and the menubar are overlayed:
[Placement] Dock=Toolbar\\0,0,0,0\\Menubar\\0,0,0,0
Change this to:
[Placement] Dock=Toolbar\\0,1,0,0\\Menubar\\0,0,0,0
This solves the problem. The question however remains, namely how does this file get repeatedly corrupted in the first place. --December 29, 2011
- If deleting
~/.gnome2/Vimdoes not work, check the
.vimrcfile permission to make sure the current user can read it. If GVim is installed by root, or the .vimrc file is copied from a flash key, its permission may prevent other users from reading it when starting GVim. When that happens all custom settings in .vimrc, including the menu, do not apply, causing the menu not to be shown. --Oct 2013

Hearing of a theft case involving two brothers alleged to have stolen 6.3bn/- from the central bank's External Payment Arrears (EPA) account will start on May 16, this year.
The case was adjourned by resident magistrate Hedson Mkasimongwa because the chairman of a panel of magistrates hearing it is on a journey, but he sent a message that tomorrow he would be ready to continue with the hearing.
The prosecution side, led by State Attorney Shadrack Kimaro, told the court that the case had came up for hearing but they could not present witnesses, hence asked for another hearing date.
Magistrate Mkasimogwa adjourned the case to May 16, this year, when the hearing continues.
The accused in the case are Johnson and Mwesiga Lukaza, who are alleged that on diverse dates between December 2003 and December 2005 conspired to steal from the Bank of Tanzania (BoT).
They are alleged that on 2 November, 2005, with intent to defraud, they forged a deed of assignment dated 2 November, 2005 between Kernel Ltd of Tanzania and Marubeni Corporation of Japan purporting to show that Kernel had been assigned a debt of 6,300,402,224/64/- by Marubeni Corporation.
It is further alleged that on 11 November 2005 the accused uttered the said forged document to BoT. It is also alleged that on 7 December 2005 in Dar es Salaam the accused stole the said amount from BoT.
On the last count it is alleged that on the same date and place the accused obtained credit by false pretence.

Just me being confused and all. And politics. And Pit Bulls. And a couple of babies.
Just yesterday, a friend of mine posted something similar, and a commenter said that playing the race card is no longer acceptable. To which, I wondered aloud what rock he's been living under. Only now, no one says it except for amidst certain company. Sad . . .
We live in a nation still haunted by superstitions of many kinds.
I love how you pulled it into a few words.
Read here:
A lot more words, similar sentiment, different demographic, wonderful post.
I guess some people need their MENTAL health care reformed.
I like your label. Clean and simple.
My Man is pretty brown. I try to listen to him as little as possible. Shit, I think I'm rascist.
I wouldnt waste my time watching the speech and Im grateful my five year old doesnt start school till tomorrow. "I expect great things from each of you". Don't tell my kid that. That's my job as a parent. Not Obama's. Overly creepy.
I'm beginning to think that evolution doesn't work. I mean the percentage of morons per capita seems to be skyrocketing in the States. I suppose, though, that maybe being a moron represent fitness in terms of evolution. Scary.
The best part of this letter is that it uses small words, so they're more likely to understand it.
Cheekofgod, Obama was portrayed as The Other right from the start, and his skin color helped make that point. Glenn Beck fans and other Town Hall nuts ask "Where is my country?" referring to the growing Socialism or Communism or Nazism, but really, the answer is much simpler than that.
Jeaux, Black Man has been after these people's women and children for many years--and he almost got them yesterday. Thank God they had the sense to stop their kids from coming to school.
Xbox, I left a comment for her. I love that statement from the Republican Congressman in Florida, warning people not to send their kids to school because Obama will indoctrinate American's children. Even CNN had to add the embarrassing [sic].
SJ, with Obama's evil mind control they won't have any use for their brains.
Ellie, maybe you're just racist-ish.
Lirun, (:-<--3<
Kali, I don't find it creepy to listen to the President give an inspirational message to school children. Young kids and teenagers won't find it creepy too unless they've been indoctrinated to hate. And sifting through the speech to find the sentence that offends you sounds more like an excuse to justify that hatred.
Freeman, I still believe they're the loud minority. The fact that the Republican Party voted for McCain shows they wanted to get away from the Bush insanity. He never understood that, so he moved to the nuts on the right and lost the election. But I do believe most of the Republicans still consider Palin a bad joke, and if they object to Obama it's because of ideological reasons rather than because he's a Nazi or because he tells their kids to study hard.
Faiqa, they understand small words, but only in CAPITAL LETTERS!!!
Yeah. That message about staying in school...
SJ - Is reforming one's mental health an option? Because I could probably use some of that myself...
looks like someone doing chin ups - not pretty
Oh. I was going for nude sunbathing.
What?! People are pulling their kids out of school because the President is going to address the kids?
What on earth is going on over there on that side of the ocean. Has everyone gone nuts?!
Personally, I thought the guy who bit off a guy's finger at a town hall was pretty cool. I mean, no one can say he's not passionate right? he might be crazy, but don't say he lacks passion :)
A little disappointed that the senate committee nixed the plans w/ public options. I'm a big supporter of the public option.
Blues, they did. Because the President is an evil Communist. What, you don't know ANYTHING?
Sebastien, the finger-biter story is funny. The bitee was interviewed and said that he was annoyed by the biter's pro-health-care-reform sign, so he punched him in the face twice. The second punch landed inside the guy's mouth. And the rest is history.

The new font looks a little better but it is very bad as it messes up all the cards. You cannot read the card text properly in game making it impossible to know what some of the longer skills do especially your opponents cards. This forces you to use the card list which is very annoying as even in the card list there is a bug. The list is cut off at newer sets so forget finding the new cards the easy way of control F.

Several weeks ago, Mr. SGCC's paralegal, Joanne, raved about a recipe she'd made and loved. One of the things I love about Joanne is that she's an adventurous foodie who is always willing to try new things. She's a girl after my own heart. The recipe she spoke of was for something called Smoky Chocolate Crackers. Hmmm. Chocolate crackers, huh? I was both skeptical and intrigued at the same time.
The next day, Joanne brought me a little bag filled with said chocolate crackers, so that I could try them. They were a deep, dark brown – almost black – flecked with bits of chopped almonds. They were crisp and buttery, with an almost cookie-like texture and intensely rich chocolate flavor. The crackers were sweet, but ever so slightly so – just enough to remind you that there was chocolate in them. And, they were good, people. Really, good. So good, in fact, that I managed to polish off the whole bag in the car before I even finished the two mile drive home. Now that, dear readers, is a recipe worth keeping. And, sharing.
As soon I got home, I called Joanne and made her promise to bring me a copy of the recipe. I had to make these delicious crackers for myself. The sooner, the better! read more >>

FreePBX paging with ZAP or DahdiPosted: May 1st, 2012 | Author: Gregg | Filed under: Asterisk VoIP, Tech | Tags: asterisk dahdi paging, asterisk fxo paging, Asterisk VoIP, asterisk zap paging, dahdi, freepbx, fxo, fxo page, page, paging, paging group, zap | No Comments »
This is fairly specific, but I didn't find any posts out there to help me.
If you are using an older Freepbx with Asterisk 1.4 or 1.6 and you want to include a ZAP or DAHDI channel in a paging group, but it never rings the FXS channel, then you need to examine the dialplan.
I noticed that when it reached this point (- Executing [PAGE203@ext-paging:2] ChanIsAvail), it would hangup.
After tinkering I realized that it was checking on ZAP/4 (my channel in this case).
To fix:
-Go to the extension in Freepbx, and under the "Dial: " options for that extension, change it from ZAP/4 to DAHDI/4.
Apply and now when you see it doing the Chanisavailable check it will pass and should call your FXS line.

A few months back we gave a shout out for a talented coder, and shortly after SamY was welcomed to our PS3 Dev Team!
In recent weeks we have made some significant progress with the PS3 Reference Tool, which will be detailed as time permits in the months to come.
That being said, we are now seeking someone who can help with MIPs Executable (ELF) reversals from decrypted, non-obfuscated file dumps.
A few of the resident PS3 Devs have assisted us with this in the past, but for the near future are unable to devote the time and we would like to keep moving forward at a comfortable pace.
So.. if you have experience in this area, feel free to message me (CJPC) on IRC EFnet, reply to this thread or E-Mail Us.
As soon as you have demonstrated your ability, we will add you as a PS3 Dev here and invite you to our PS3 Dev IRC channel to work directly with us.
PS: Please keep in mind, this progress has nothing at all to do with the Retail PS3 console... nobody (including us) is any closer to unlocking it, and chances are we're all in for a long wait there!

Climate Literacy Handbook: Principle 5
Previous: Principle 4 | Table of Contents | Next: Principle 6
|Principle 5. Our understanding of the climate system is improved through observations, theoretical studies, and modeling
When it comes to climate, how do scientists know what they know? While studies indicate that actively publishing climate researchers virtually all agree that human activities are altering the climate system, the general public is under the impression that scientists are still debating whether or not humans are through their activities changing climate. Essential Principle 5 concerns key elements of climate studies and the "self-correcting" peer review process.
Concept 5a. The components and processes of Earth's climate system are subject to the same physical laws as the rest of the Universe. Therefore, the behavior of the climate system can be understood and predicted through careful, systematic study.
It is not uncommon for the topic of climate change to be intermixed with politics in general discussions. This is understandable because climate change carries weighty implications for public policy, and politicians like Al Gore have taken a very visible role in calling for greater action and understanding. Nevertheless, climate science stands apart from politics. The scientific process works the same for every type of science, whether that science is viewed by the public as politicized or noncontroversial. Scientific organizations like NASA and NOAA are increasingly making climate data available online, which is one way for citizens to gain insight into the scientific process.

An interactive flowchart illustrating the iterative process of science and its interactions with society, from the Understanding Science website of the University of California Museum of Paleontology.
Book: How We Know What We Know About Our Changing Climate
A widely acclaimed children's book appropriate for classroom use by author Lynne Cherry and photojournalist Gary Braasch, approaching the topic of climate change from the perspective of the scientists who are studying it.
Concept 5b. Environmental observations are the foundation for understanding the climate system. From the bottom of the ocean to the surface of the Sun, instruments on weather stations, buoys, satellites, and other platforms collect climate data. To learn about past climates, scientists use natural records, such as tree rings, ice cores, and sedimentary layers. Historical observations, such as native knowledge and personal journals, also document past climate change.
Scientists rely on accurate, standardized measurements to study change, whether those changes are in weather, climate, organisms or the solar system beyond Earth. Today there are arrays of sophisticated instruments on the ground, in and under the water, in the air and in space above the planet recording data about the planet. While there are some gaps in the data coverage, in many areas the biggest challenge is actually the storage and analysis of the terabytes of data streaming off satellites and other instruments .
Not long ago, too much data was not the problem. In the United States, the Weather Bureau, (now the National Weather Service which is part of NOAA) was founded in 1870, and the International Meteorological Organization (now the World Meteorological Organization), was established a few years later, in 1873. It took decades before there was a network of weather stations in the United States and even longer before worldwide recording and storing of data about temperature and precipitation ensued. Satellite measurements of the Earth's climate system began in the 1970. In addition today, cooperative networks (such as the Community Collaborative Rain, Hail & Snow Network) coordinating thousands of volunteers help fill in the spatial gaps and allow scientists to better understand regional dynamics and microclimates.

Concept 5c. Observations, experiments, and theory are used to construct and refine computer models that represent the climate system and make predictions about its future behavior. Results from these models lead to better understanding of the linkages between the atmosphere-ocean system and climate conditions and inspire more observations and experiments. Over time, this iterative process will result in more reliable projections of future climate conditions.
Given how complex the climate system is and how difficult it is to predict weather, how can computer models possibly simulate the future climate? This question is frequently raised in the public debates around climate change, but much less frequently among scientists familiar with the contributions modeling has made to climate science.
Like many technological developments, computer models had a military origin. They were first used in World War II in the development of the atomic bomb. These models rely on data and mathematical algorithms to run various scenarios. The results of different models are compared to one another; those that can replicate known data patterns with a minimum of starting data are considered to be the best estimation of the phenomenon they are studying. Once known patterns can be replicated, the models can be used to generate future predictions.
Over the past decade, the use of supercomputers have allowed climate scientists to do "hindcasts" looking at past events, even going back thousands of years, comparing the modeling results with actual paleoclimate observations. Now there are a variety of large, complex Global Climate Models (GCM) and Earth-system Models of Intermediate Complexity (EMIC) that take into account incoming and outgoing energy, and the interactions of atmosphere, oceans, land surface, ice, organisms, and human activities.
Computer models are just one type of scientific model. A scientific model is any simplified representation of a natural phenomenon based on observations. Most children build models of the solar system in school to gain a deeper understanding of the relationships between planets in the sun. Rutherford's famous model of the atom led to more and more accurate models over time, which are still being added to today. While no scientific model is perfectly accurate, they each provide some valuable insight into the working of natural systems. Like other scientific efforts, computer modeling improves over time with the combined work of many scientists and peer review.

Concept 5d. Our understanding of climate differs in important ways from our understanding of weather. Climate scientists' ability to predict climate patterns months, years, or decades into the future is constrained by different limitations than those faced by meteorologists in forecasting weather days to weeks into the future.
This fundamental concept is based on "Climate Change: An Information Statement of the American Meteorological Society":
How can climate change be projected in the future? Climate will continue to change due to natural and human causes. The most comprehensive projections of future climate rely on numerical models of the climate system, of which there are many. Climate models are complex computer codes based on measurements and on fundamental physical laws of motion, thermodynamics, and radiative transfer. These are expressed in mathematical equations representing changes of winds in the atmosphere; currents in the ocean; exchanges of heat and moisture between the atmosphere and Earth's surface; the release of latent heat by condensation during the formation of clouds and raindrops; and the absorption of sunshine and emission of infrared radiation.
Climate models were developed from weather forecast models through coupling with models of the ocean, land surface and vegetation, cryosphere, etc., so as to represent the complexity of the climate system. Changes in the means and extremes of temperature and precipitation in response to increasing greenhouse gases can be projected over decades to centuries even though the timing of individual weather events cannot be projected. Unlike daily weather forecasts, there is limited historical basis of experience on which to judge the accuracy of climate projections. Confidence must be assessed by other methods. These include inferences from prehistoric paleoclimate evidence, and careful processstudy observations of the causal chain between energy flow changes and climate pattern responses. A useful demonstration of the validity of current climate models is their ability to reproduce the global mean temperature changes of the 20th century when (and only when) they include all known natural and human-induced climate forcings.
Weather predictions beyond a few days are nowadays based on ensembles of simulations that estimate the range of probable outcomes. The same ensemble concept is used for projections of climate change, where uncertainty arises from the limitations of models and from the emission scenarios used to represent the effects of human activity. Model limitations include uncertainties in the way in which processes that operate at scales smaller than the resolved scale of the model are represented, as well as those that arise from components of the Earth system not currently included in models. Among the most important uncertainties are changes in clouds, which can either cool or warm the climate. Recent satellite evidence rules out the possibility that cloud changes could offset most greenhouse warming and suggests that they might even add to it. The emission scenarios used to drive the climate model projections are uncertain since they depend on socioeconomic responses to climate change; these uncertainties have been factored into future assessments.

Concept 5e. Scientists have conducted extensive research on the fundamental characteristics of the climate system and their understanding will continue to improve. Current climate change projections are reliable enough to help humans evaluate potential decisions and actions in response to climate change.
By the year 2100, will the mean surface temperature for the planet increase a few degrees or more than a few? Will sea level rise less than a meter or much more than a meter? The models don't all agree and, in hindsight, they tend to smooth out variability. Reality can be more variable than model runs are. For example, models have projected a steady loss of sea ice in the Arctic which has generally been borne out, but which failed to predict an abrupt loss of ice in the summer of 2007. Climate projections are considered by most climate scientists to be increasingly accurate, as they are continually fine-tuned and tap ever-increased computing power. They can help humans make decisions about the future, even if they cannot be expected to be perfect.

ASPEN — Tucker Hibbert will vie for a record sixth consecutive X Games gold medal on the snocross course Sunday a few hours before Shaun White competes for his sixth consecutive gold in the superpipe.
Hibbert is treating the race like any other.
"It's a little more important and I guess a little bit of a bigger deal, but for me, I try to look at it the same as the first one," Hibbert said Thursday.
Hibbert, 28, comes each year from his home in Pelican Rapids, Minn., near the headquarters of his snowmobile sponsor, Arctic Cat, and where his head mechanic — and father — works as an engineer.
Inside the belly of his amply labeled semitrailer, Hibbert's sled undergoes perpetual tinkering by a team of mechanics.
Photos: X Games at Aspen, Jan. 24
Hibbert, who won gold at his first X Games snocross race in 2000 at age 15, has a knack for grabbing the early hole and gapping the field.
"That's one of the biggest parts of the race for us is the start and we focus a lot on making sure our sled is ready to go and strong off the line," he said.
Hibbert is leading the eight-race National Snocross tour after the first three races.
"It's good to have that momentum coming into X," he said. "X Games is the highlight. ... It's a huge platform for us to showcase what we can do on snowmobiles."
Familiar Aspen face advances in ski superpipe. Aspen teenager Torin Yater-Wallace advanced to Friday night's finals in ski superpipe ranked second after the two-run qualifier Thursday, behind David Wise of Reno, Nev. The 17-year-old Yater-Wallace, who won silver in 2011 and bronze in 2012, was leading after the first trip with a 90-point run. But Wise, 22, jumped ahead with a 92-point trip on his second run. There were 16 qualifiers (best score out of two runs) and eight advanced to the three-run finals at 8:45 p.m. Friday. Tanner Hall's comeback from a four-year layoff because of injures hit a roadblock as the 29-year-old finished 10th. But veteran Simon Dumont, 26, made the finals, qualifying eighth with a 72.66-point run. Telluride's Gus Kenworthy fell on both runs and finished last.
Bleiler out. Gretchen Bleiler of Aspen withdrew from the women's superpipe Saturday night as she continues to recover from a training injury in the summer.
The four-time X Games gold medalist said Thursday: "It's a really, really tough decision for me. ... It's been a long recovery process. My vision is so much better but I'm just needing a little more time on the snow."
Super start. Japanese 14-year-old boarder Ayumu Hirano had an impressive showing in his X Games superpipe debut to advance to Sunday's finals. The eighth-grader from Murakami had a 70-point run the first time down in Thursday night's qualifier, then topped that with a 78.66-point trip the second time to rank sixth.
Veteran Scotty Lago, who won bronze as a rookie in 2006 and silver in 2011, crashed on his first run but then rallied for an 82.66-point ride to make the finals.
Colorado kids. The snowboard pipe qualifier opened with two Colorado riders in the 16-man field. Matt Ladley of Steamboat Springs advanced to the finals, while 20-year-old Breckenridge rider Brett Esser, who moved to Colorado from Iowa, crashed on both runs. Ladley, 21, had the second-best run in the first round, gaining 80 points, and ranks fifth going into the finals.
Along with Aspen's Yater-Wallace, Crested Butte 16-year-old Aaron Blunck advanced to the ski superpipe finals, qualifying sixth with a 78.33-point run. Aspen High senior Alex Ferreira was 13th.
Seeing goofiness galore. You have to be a little, or a lot, crazy to throw yourself down a mountain with a number of obstacles in the form of rails and giant jumps along the way. So it was no surprise that the gathering atop the slopestyle course Thursday for the men's snowboard event included a fair amount of goofiness. Included in the madness was the "coach" of Iceland's Halldor Helgason smoking an oversized cigar and sporting a long, black leather jacket with "Thunder" stitched on the back. Also, Park City, Utah, rider Sage Kotsenburg rolled through his runs wearing a purple wig.

Rob Reiner's 1986 Stand by Me told us that we'll never have better, more meaningful friends than the ones we had when we were 12. His new film, Flipped, tells us that we'll never have better, more meaningful romances than the ones we had when we were 12. It's touching, if a little sad, that it's all apparently been downhill for the director since hitting his teen years, but does Reiner's nostalgic yearning somehow excuse his latest for being so bland, saccharine, and childish? Set just a few years after Reiner's summer-of-'59 hit, Flipped is like Stand by Me without profanity, dirty jokes, unforced camaraderie, and Kiefer Sutherland. In other words, it's just a stone's throw away from utterly excruciating.

the Twig is Bent, So Grows the Tree
This quotation is often used to illustrate the
theoretical basis of osteopathy - the intricate connection between structure
and function, between foundation and development. It can also easily
be extended to illustrate the usefulness of osteopathy in pediatrics,
where young bodies are that much more malleable, impressionable, and
responsive to treatments. Finally, it also can describe the state of
many young physicians coming out of post-graduate training.
as Emily Esmaili made a concerted effort through residency
to keep up her personal practice of yoga and meditation, to get
outdoors and in the wilderness as much as possible, to eat well, and
maintain relationships, she can say that she has become no less bent
than the rest. However, she has also had more adventures and has
done, seen, and experienced more at Wake Forest than on many of her
globe-trotting trips. And, she's managed to fit in a few conferences,
a fascinating research elective with Dr. Kathi Kemper, and an
international elective month in Nepal.
where to next? After taking a few months to work, travel, hike, and
sleep, she plans to start an osteopathic fellowship in Portland,
Maine. She will focus on the use of Osteopathic Manipulative
Medicine for infants and children, and will also work part-time at a
pediatric clinic in conjunction with Maine Medical Center. They will
do integrative medicine consults at the Medical Center, and hope to
collaborate with the well-established Integrative Medicine Program
that operates through the Family Medicine Residency. She looks
forward to living and working in a community and culture
where Integrative Medicine is truly integrated into medicine, and
where physician well-being is paramount.

Joined Tables
The JOIN syntax provides methods of combining information in tables.
INNER JOINs, and LEFT and RIGHT OUTER JOINs are supported.
A join may be performed as a NATURAL JOIN or where the conditions for the join are more explicitly specified.
The different ways in which the various join options can be combined makes the overall JOIN syntax quite convoluted, so to simplify the explanation, each variant will be described on its own with an accompanying syntax diagram.
In order to understand the JOIN syntax generally, it is important to appreciate the difference between an INNER and an OUTER JOIN. It is also important to be aware of the three fundamental JOIN variants (NATURAL, JOIN USING and JOIN ON) which are mutually exclusive and apply equally to INNER and OUTER JOINs.
