State election officials have delcared Democrat Christopher Johnson of Somerville the winner over Republican challenger Leslie Fossil of Alna after a recount in the close Sentate District 20 race.
AUGUSTA, Maine (AP) _ Maine election officials say Democratic state Sen. Christopher Johnson of Somerville remains the winner in his re-election race following a recount.
Johnson's Republican challenger, state Rep. Leslie Fossel of Alna, requested the recount after unofficial results from Election Day indicated he had lost the election. The recount determined that 10,943 votes were cast for Johnson, while 10,772 were cast for Fossel.
Eleven legislative candidate recounts have now been completed. Three candidate recounts remain to be completed through next Monday.

The Golden, Colo.-based chain hopes the ribs, its biggest new food launch in six years, will help bring new customers into its restaurants.
"It's a new product that will appeal to a wide audience," said CEO George Michel. "Ribs are not a product most people feel comfortable cooking at home."
Boston Market, which has 471 locations nationwide, offers food such as rotisserie chicken, turkey, brisket and vegetable sides for people to either eat in its restaurants or take out for meals at home. It also provides a catering service. It faces competitors such as Panera Bread and Chipotle Mexican Grill for the lunch crowd and casual dining chains like the Olive Garden and P.F. Chang's Chinese Bistro and grocery stores for the evening and weekend customer. Michel said the new offering, the biggest launch since it started selling sandwiches six years ago, will help it compete against rivals.
Michel said Boston Market is the only national chain serving St. Louis-style ribs, making it stand out from competitors.
"St. Louis style" ribs are pork spare ribs, which are juicier and meatier than the baby back ribs casual dining chains usually serve. Boston Market will prepare the ribs by smoking them, baking them and then covering them with its own brand of barbecue sauce.
Michel said the company tested other ideas with 100,000 customers, via email surveys and taste tests, including sandwich wraps and beef, but ribs scored much higher than everything else.
The ribs will be available beginning Monday with a marketing campaign called "We Love the IRS"—the IRS stands for "Incredible Rib Specials."

The Wells-class was a timeship used by Starfleet in the 29th century to protect the timeline against temporal incursions.
The Wells-class was equipped with temporal transporters, an advancement on transporter technology allowing transport through space and time. (VOY: "Relativity")
Ships of the class
- USS Relativity (NCV-474439-G)
Background information
The Wells-class is possibly named after noted science fiction author H.G. Wells, author of The Time Machine and The War of the Worlds.
The design for this CGI model departed significantly from the standard saucer and nacelle layout of 24th century starships. According to Rick Sternbach:
"The inspiration for the ship was a blended arrowhead sort of shape with a lot of roller coaster curves, upon which were drawn most of the little details that were familiar to older Starfleet ships. Those details were evolved, but one could still see what they were for. The Bussard collector caps were turned and stretched, but they're there. Same with the phaser strips, lifeboats, etc." [1]The scale included on Sternbach's design schematics indicates an overall length of approximately 640 feet (195 meters). [X]wbm Nine decks are shown in the side view. [X]wbm
Within the New Frontier novels, it is stated that the ships possessed an anti-proton beam in addition to phaser arrays.
Star Trek Online
In Star Trek Online, the Wells-class timeship (classified in-game as a "Temporal Science Vessel") can be obtained by Federation players through the Temporal Lock Box. In a mission released to celebrate the game's third anniversary, a Wells-class ship called the USS Pastak appears to assist the player in battle against Tholians in the Azure Nebula and correct damage done to the timeline by the appearance of the USS Enterprise-C in the 25th century.

Been itching to get fishing but contrary to my plan, I just could not seem to get out of bed early this morning.
At about 12:00PM I made a few calls to rally up a few friends I know don't mind fishing in the middle of the hot sunny afternoon.
I got 2 takers and the three of us ended up leaving the dock at about 12:30 PM with first baits in the water at about 1:30 PM.
We landed a few solid fish for a few hours before the bite shut down but all in all we had a blast and lost many more than we could count! (I very rarely use steel and it usually pays off.)

Sticky Bombs are explosives featured in The Ballad of Gay Tony and Grand Theft Auto V. They are thrown, and stick to any vehicle or surface they hit. However unlike the Satchel Charges in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, they cannot stick to people. They can then be detonated by pressing Down on the D-pad or shooting them. The Sticky Bombs are seen in the Weazel News Trailer, which is used by the Terrorism Expert. When thrown the bombs emit a steady beep and a yellow light flashes. When activated the beep rises in pitch and speed, and the light turns red, then after less than a second, they detonate. The blast radius is similar to a grenade.
If you are in a vehicle of any kind and try to hold the sticky bomb until it detonates, it will not explode even after 90 seconds has gone by. It will start to beep slowly, and after about 60 seconds the beeping will get faster, but it will still not explode. If you throw it out after holding it for a long time, it will simply reset as it is throw out. So holding the bomb will not effect the time it takes to detonate.
You can place up to ten Sticky Bombs (two in multiplayer), throwing out the eleventh (third in multiplayer) will cause the first one to disappear.
Many players prefer this weapons in drive-by's, due to the fact that they deal a large amount of damage, can stick to any vehicle, and can be detonated at any time (which allows them to be used somewhat like landmines). However, the player must be careful to ensure that their own car doesn't get caught in the blast radius, if used these against a vehicle in close proximity. Another factor to take in mind is how fragile they are. As mentioned above, shooting them will cause them to explode. However, they can be detonated via physical contact. If it is placed onto a vertical surface and rammed by a car, it will detonate. One must take care when using them in a drive-by that that car that the bomb is stuck on doesn't attempt to ram the player, as the impact may cause the bomb to explode.
Players must also be careful when in close proximity of a placed bomb, as they have a (approximately) 90 second fuse. Thus, if an armed bomb is left undetonated for 90 seconds, it will automatically detonate.
They are given to the player in the mission Bang Bang.
They are also available from Armando's Gun Van after completion of the same mission and can be found in Luis' safehouse after completing 40 Drug Wars and Bang Bang.

Just went to test the new starters and lawtia newbies were loosing left and right because zugateroza isn't for starters and they don't know how to use it. It's not easy to use like the others and also confuses the new players into loosing games by playing it early.
Dalos is still the best pick for starters.
The change was stupid and will **** up all your lawtia beginners. Who would want that?
If you wanted nobody to start out with lawtia, then the job is done and there is no change needed, in that case keep zuga in the lawtia starter.

If You Receive a Notice of Tax Due
- Verify that you are the correct recipient of the notice. If not, please contact the Cincinnati Income Tax Division (as listed on the Account Summary notice) so that the appropriate corrections can be made.
- Verify that the liability is correct. If the liability is incorrect or you are unsure of what the notice is for, contact the Cincinnati Income Tax Division immediately, as listed on the Account Summary notice, for further clarification.

Turned into a vampire against her will, 28-year-old Merit found her way into the dark circle of Chicago's vampire underground, where she learned there was more to supernaturals than met the eye - and more supernaturals than the public ever imagined. And not all the secrets she learned were for sharing - among humans or inhumans.
Now Merit is on the hunt, charging across the stark American Midwest, tailing a rogue supernatural intent on stealing an ancient artifact that could unleash catastrophic evil on the world. But Merit is also the prey. An enemy of Chicagoland is hunting her, and he'll stop at nothing to get the book for himself. No mercy allowed. No rules apply. No lives spared. The race is on.
©2012 Chloe Neill (P)2012 Tantor
"Where is Merit? Why oh Why??!!!!"
I would definitely recommend the series up until this book. The narration change has completely ruined what has been one of my favorite series in years. Cynthia Holloway was not just truly amazing as Merit, but every single character was uniquely brought to life by her. I was dying for this release and now am struggling to even finish because it just isn't there. I 'm very sad.
Haven't even got there because I am struggling to get into it. I am about halfway through but the story up until now seems like the same old problems with just a few new details changed. Everyone is mad at and blaming the vampires - same. The sorcerers are vague and misunderstood - same. The shifters are sticking there neck out to help - same. Ethan and Merit are on again off again - same. The GP is interfering and unhappy - same. Then you take away the spark that made it alive (Cynthia Holloway) and it just seems redundant and slow. Maybe it will get better...I just miss Merit!
I feel bad for obsessing about the narrator change because this narrator was not bad by any means...she just isn't even remotely this/these characters. Cynthia Holloway's sarcastic bite, wit and characters' voices made this series. It's almost like a different series all together. Five books tends to get you very used to people especially when done with so much brilliance. She made them come alive. I think the new narrator is not to blame and I would listen to her again. It was just devestating to this book.
Not without Cynthia Holloway 's narration. This makes me question whether I would have even liked the books as much reading them rather than listening if I am this affected by her abscense.
"oh, NO!!!"
It's a measure of how much I enjoy this series that I purchased Biting Cold on the day of publication. All that day I looked forward to listening...I pressed play and...wait, what is this? This isn't Merit!!
Biting Cold has a new narrator. So characters have new voices. And words have new pronunciations.
So much for snuggling in with a old friend.
The change in narrator is so disorienting that it's difficult to separate the story from the performance. It does seem that the pacing is far slower than in the previous five books, and that the characters have changed--their personalities are different. I wonder if Chloe Neill had the time she needed to polish this book--or if she's bored with Merit and Cadogan House.
I am really disappointed.
"BAH!!! Change of Narrator"
Sorry Sophie Eastlake but it's bad form to do a sequel book and not even try to sound like the original narrator! Oh I so hope they bring back Cynthia Halloway for the next book.
For fans of the series, it's not so heinous that you can't still listen with ease but after 5 books the voices are ingrained so it will annoy you a bit.
As for the story? It's another chapter in the ongoing dramas of Merrit, Mallory, the Cadogan House and all the other people in the orbit. Has a start, middle and end so now you are just waiting to see what happens in the next book as there are still a few loose ends.
Worth the credit, not brain surgery but a pleasurable way to use a few hours listening.
"New reader...not bad, but not the same"
Not sure if it was the new reader that thru off the rhythm of the seriers but on first listen it seems to be a combination of both the story development and the reader. Neither were as good as the previous installments but still a decent listen.
"New Narrator Overshadows Great Plot!"
Let me start with the most apparent thing everyone who LOVES the Chicagoland Vampires series is going to notice - there's a new narrator. Now sometimes that's a good thing...unfortunately, here it is not.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure Sophie Eastlake is a great narrator - but when you've had the SAME narrator (Cynthia Holloway) for the first five books of the series, bringing in a newbie just doesn't work. I was so distracted by new speech patterns and accents (especially Luc's) that I lost track of the story at times and had to keep backtracking.
With all that said. Let's move past that and look at the actual story itself...without giving away any spoilers.
In the first few books the focus was mainly just on Merit getting a handle on her new lifestyle (as a vampire). Book four was focused pretty intently on the Merit-Ethan relationship. In book five, not only did we see Merit really come into her own, but we also learned a lot about Mallory and her powers. Now, with book six, the focus is put on "relationships:" Merit and Ethan, Merit and Mallory, Mallory and Catcher, etc.
In these last two books of the Chicagoland Vampires series (Drink Deep and Biting Cold), Chloe Neill has managed to grow even closer with her characters. Now that [us] readers have gotten to know the characters, she has started to weave the plot even more intricately. For this reason alone, I would NOT recommend this book for someone who has not read the previous installments. But, I would recommend Biting Cold for anyone who is a fan of the urban fantasy or paranormal genres. It is also perfect for those looking for a good PNR or urban fantasy with a little more bite (pun intended) than a similar book in the YA genre.
Even though I was left with some disappointment, I will continue on following this series. As always, the ending left me wanting more. Luckily we don't have to wait too long; book 7 (House Rules) comes out on February 5, 2013.
"uggg... come on!"
I just want to say that I love this series, but this installment just went on and on and on. Nothing exciting really happened, loose ends were not tied up. It was pretty boring, I almost stopped listing half way through the first half of the book. I have officially lost interest in this series and will not be purchasing the next book. Some book series can go on forever, but this one is more than done. Sorry Chloe, this book was a huge disappointment.
"Changed the narrator!!! Why..."
The narrator. Haven't the publishers figured out by now that listeners don't like to have a narrator changed after a series has been started.
The change in voices that we have become use to was a complete distraction.
Biting Cold was worth the listening time, but I don't think it was her strongest book. There was far more emotion in the first 3 books and this one didn't spark the depth of feeling that I enjoyed when I first started the series. I also found myself irritated at the number of times the phrase, "I stand sentinal" popped up. Yah, we know that by now.
Overall, the story was a good listen, worth the time, but just rates a 3 star "I Liked It" rating. I found Ethan putting their relationship on hold again a poor thing to put in the story line because it felt like Ms. Neil was trying to recapture the stunned feeling we all felt in the earlier books. It worked once but made my eyes roll the second time around (I wouldn't have stuck around for a man who so easily stopped and started with the tides).
"Chicagoland Vampires Book 6"
I liked this installment. A little more talk than action in this one compared to the last couple, but this book sets up interesting changes to come and may be more of a transition book, although Merit and Ethan do get a chance to kick some butt. I missed some of my faves like the shifters, Morgan, Noah and Jonah but hope they will pop up for more than cameos in the next books. Good news is that Book 7, House Rules, is scheduled to be out in Feb 2013, so not terribly long to wait and see where it goes from here.
I approve of the narrator change. While I did like Cynthia Holloway's male voices a little better in that she has a wider range of male characters, I am thankful to have Sophie Eastlake's superior pronunciation and ability to perform accents, and I have really liked other books she narrated.
"No complaints here"
If you've been reading the series, then don't miss this one. Really enjoyed this newest installment of Merit's adventures. This book seemed to end the series, as far as characters go, to where you can walk away from it. At the same time, it starts a whole new series within itself. At any rate, I liked the way it ended, not feeling half disgusted, waiting on another installment to come out. So many of the series books, make you feel like you're hanging on a cliff for another year.
I don't really care for the narration, but is tolerable. She just doesn't have enough emotion in her reading, and the men really sound quite dull.
"Like the story,but narrator not so much"
After listening to this story. I wished Cynthia Holloway did not quit her job. I mean the story is pretty good I would listening to it again. It's just that you can tell the new narrator did not listen to the first five books before started working on this one. Some of the characters sounded like old men, no I'm not talkings about the vampires. There is just something missing.

The post above was originally from this thread which I have reposted to it's own thread for posterity.
To add to the subject, having more than one horse available to ride significantly increases the distance covered. Check this out from Wikipedia.
Each Mongol soldier typically maintained 3 or 4 horses.[6] Changing horses often allowed them to travel at high speed for days without stopping or wearing out the animals. Their ability to live off the land, and in extreme situations off their animals (mare's milk especially), made their armies far less dependent on the traditional logistical apparatus of agrarian armies. In some cases, as during the invasion of Hungary in early 1241, they covered up to 100 miles (160 km) per day, which was unheard of by other armies of the time.

This is still a work in progress, but I would be interested in any comments or suggestions about my random dungeon generator. It can be found at: http://www.igsgames.com/Utilities/DungeonGenerator If it's not working, then I'm probably debugging something or adding new tiles. The plan is to flesh out the room descriptions, and add encounters/items for BRP, T&T, and OSR.
Anyway, I found a hash background in another forum that is attributed to Tom Cardin. I cannot PM him until after 5 posts, so if he is reading, or someone else can PM him, I'm interested in using the tile on my dungeon, and am looking for the artist's approval.
For the record, we pretend to be a real company, but have never actually sold anything. I think our LLC expired this year anyway. :-)

My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
This is a very useful tool for any setting that uses underground lairs. It would be especially useful to be able to make a printable version (hint, hint). I would suggest leaving a "blank" option for the encounters and descriptions so that people who use other systems can add their own information.
Great tool ! Goes directly in my bookmarks !
This is superb! It does diagonal corridors and rooms and curved corridors too!! Great work! I assume that the text for traps and structures etc is coming?
Edit:: If it's possible I would like to see a way in which the user could customise the contents of the rooms but having a user created spreadsheet or similar that the program can call on.

I am IMPRESSED. Nice!
Fantastic! Great! Marvellous!
I'm used playing with dungeon generators but none get to this level of quality!
A question though: do you developped your own engine or do you make use of on-shelf one like NBOS Inspiration Pad Pro 2?
Another one: do you search for developper backup to go faster in research/development?
Very impressive! Thanks!
Grrr! Not working for me - just getting the same pattern. Sure it's awesome when it's working properly tho!
very interesting online solution for make dungeons!

Shoppers in Colorado stores won't have to worry about new credit card surcharges being imposed on customers in other states.
The surcharges are illegal under Colorado law, so business cannot add the fees to purchases.
In most other states, stores now have the option of charging customers up to 4 percent to cover the cost of processing a transaction.
According to KCNC-TV, nine other states have similar bans, but consumers might have to pay it if they make a purchase online or on the phone with an out-of-state company where the fees are legal.

The Aryan Nations leadership does not possess an abundance of what you might call intellectual prowess.
Their leadership skills aren't exactly prodigious, either, come to that.
It's a bit of a stretch, after all, to call yourself leaders when the vast majority of Americans think you're hatemongers who rank, on the list of desirable dinner party guests, in the same sub-primate range as pond scum and various infectious bacteria.
It does not surprise me, at any rate, that a branch of the white supremacist group (although "tentacle" paints a more apt word picture in this context than does "branch" ) seems to have misjudged our neighbor to the west, Grant County.
And by misjudged I don't mean the equivalent of pouring soda too quickly so that a wisp of foam crests the rim and slides down the side of the glass.
I'm talking about a cliff diver who can't tell an ebb tide from a flood.The Blue Mountain Eagle newspaper in John Day published a story last week about Paul R. Mullet, the self-proclaimed national director of the Aryan Nations, which has its headquarters in Athol, Idaho.
(Which probably means Mullet's basement.)
Mullet told the newspaper he wants to buy property in Grant County and establish a "national compound" there for the organization.
Mullet has a keen interest in establishing compounds. He told a reporter from a Spokane, Wash., TV station in November that he wants to do the same thing in Northern Idaho. For some reason he didn't refer to this putative Grant County development as "national compound west."
Or basement number two.
Mullet, who visited the county last week, said he was looking at a couple of buildings in John Day.
He told the Blue Mountain Eagle that the Aryan Nations is interested in Grant County because of its remoteness, its proximity to mountains and its relatively low prices for real estate.
Mullet is right about all that.
Of course any third-grader who had access to a road map could deduce the first two of those elements.
Grant County certainly qualifies as remote — the nearest freeway, Interstate 84, never comes within 20 miles of the place.
Also the county is liberally supplied with mountains, including the prominent Strawberry and Greenhorn ranges.
So Mullet seems to understand geography.
This is hardly surprising, considering the Aryan Nations' obsession with creating a "homeland" for the white race.
I'm rather unsure, though, about whether Mullet sees the political landscape of Grant County as clearly as he does the topographical.
I wonder if he saw the Ron Paul signs on ranch fences, and read about the county's anti-United Nations resolution, and from that evidence assumed those ornery Grant County residents would warmly welcome a group which proudly brandishes the Nazi swastika and which describes Jews as "parasites" and blacks as "mud people."
Mullet sure seems to think so.
He told the John Day newspaper that his group "is a good fit with the values here."
Grant County residents apparently define "values" rather differently than Mullet does.
This is a good thing.
I've had a few bones to pick with the U.N. myself over the years, and it would trouble me greatly to learn that my dissatisfaction with that agency had allied me in any way with people who worship Hitler and know how to goosestep really well.
John Day Mayor Bob Quinton told the Blue Mountain Eagle that being associated with the Aryan Nations is "the last kind of thing our reputation needs. We need to be inclusive and emphasize positive things here."
Local residents publicly protested the Aryan Nations on Saturday in downtown John Day.
And the Blue Mountain Eagle sponsored a pair of public meetings today in which the featured speakers are an attorney and a civil rights activist who were involved in the lawsuit that bankrupted another Idaho-based Aryan Nations group in 2001.
Suffice it to say that Mullet ought not expect, when he next visits Grant County, that he'll be greeted by a contingent that doles out fresh-baked pies and invitations to join the local service clubs.
None of which clubs, I'm certain, includes praising Hitler as part of its protocol.
(Which reminds me of a matter I've long been curious about. Do new members of hate groups go through an awkward initiation period, when they're never quite sure how to address fellow members? I envision a fledgling skinhead, newly shorn brow wrinkled in concentration, wondering: "Should I say 'heil?' How's it goin?' Howdy?' ")
The Aryan Nations' interest in Grant County does raise the prospect of a conundrum for residents.
The group has the legal right, of course, to buy property there.
And so long as its members don't break any laws — admittedly a task which has presented something of a challenge for these people — they're also entitled to conduct meetings and train recruits and even to host a "national gathering" in September 2011, which Mullet confessed to the Blue Mountain Eagle is his ambition.
(And what a coveted invitation that would be.)
Grant County residents are equally within their rights, of course, to emphasize, through sidewalk protests and letters to the editor and other constitutionally protected means, that Mullet and his minions are less welcome than ticks and decade-long droughts.
But what happens if the bigot brigade settles in even after Grant County has demonstrated, with all the vehemence and volume its good people can muster, its distaste for the Aryan Nations' "values"?
Would the person who sells property to the group be similarly vilified?
Could the county co-exist in relative peace with a group that spouts such corrosive rhetoric?
Would the county's blue heelers develop a taste for the pasty flesh of these malignant missionaries, who sometimes creep, virus-like, across the countryside distributing "white pride" propaganda composed by dullards whose cognitive skills are the measure of a precocious toddler who still soils her diapers more often than not?
Perhaps most importantly, how do the Aryans decide who gets to sleep with the copy of "Mein Kampf" somebody stole from a public library?
There are many questions.
I'm confident, though, what with the county's rapid reaction to Mullet's visit, that whatever may come, Grant County's reputation will be burnished rather than tarnished as a result of its unsolicited association with the Aryan Nations.
Perhaps Mullet, before he puts down any earnest money, will come to see that he mistook Grant County's crusty conservatism for evidence that it's fertile soil for his group's racial "theories."
I suppose he was impressed that in addition to declaring their county a "U.N.-free zone" in a 2002 measure, voters went for the McCain-Palin ticket at 71.3 percent — trailing only Lake County (71.5 percent) among Oregon's 36 counties.
(Baker County, by the way, endorsed the Republicans in 2008 at 64.4 percent.)
But I believe that reasonable people — which includes that overwhelming majority of us who understand that the Holocaust actually happened, and that it was awful — recognize how specious the link is between a county's preference for Republican politicians and American isolationism on the one hand, and its tolerance for groups that celebrate the Third Reich on the other.
Mullet and his ilk will always be able, sadly, to dredge a few sycophants from the flotsam of the fringes.
But it seems that hatred doesn't echo far, even in the remote canyons of Grant County.

Emotional Reactions to a Diagnosis of Cancer
Topic Overview
The impact of a diagnosis of cancer differs from person to person. It is normal to experience anger, frustration, or disappointment. The following home treatment may help you with your emotional reaction to a diagnosis of cancer:
- Get enough rest and sleep. During sleep, your mind makes sense of what has happened to you. Adequate rest and sleep can help prevent physical illness and exhaustion. Many times simple home treatment can relieve your sleep problems. Try activities to help you relax, such as meditation or guided imagery. Do not use nonprescription medicines, alcohol, or street drugs. Talk to your health professional if you are having difficulty sleeping.
- Eat well. Resist the urge not to eat or to eat only those foods that comfort you. If you have trouble eating alone, ask another person to join you for a snack or meal. If you do not have an appetite, eat frequent small meals and snacks.
- Exercise. If nothing else, take a walk. Brisk walking and other forms of exercise, such as yoga or tai chi and qi gong, can help release some of your pent-up emotions. One study showed that regular exercise can improve a woman's chances of survival from breast cancer.1
- Comfort yourself. Allow yourself the opportunity to be comforted by familiar surroundings and personal items that you value. Special items, such as photos or a loved one's favorite shirt, may also give you comfort. Treat yourself to something you enjoy, such as a massage.
- Maintain your normal activities. Stay involved in activities that include your support network, such as your family and friends, work, church, or community activities.
- Get the support you need. There are many different types of support programs, including individual or group counseling and support groups. Some groups are formal and focus on learning about cancer or dealing with feelings. Others are informal and social. All types of support help you explore your feelings and develop coping skills. Studies have found that people who take part in support groups have an improved quality of life, get better quality sleep, and feel like eating. Contact your local chapter of the American Cancer Society to help you find a support group. Talking with other people who may have had similar feelings can be very helpful.
To help you cope with your diagnosis and treatment:
- Avoid quick fixes. Resist the urge to drink alcohol, smoke cigarettes, or take nonprescription medicines or street drugs. When you are under emotional stress, these may only add to your unpleasant feelings and experiences and may mask your emotions and prevent you from normal, necessary grieving.
- Ask for help. During times of emotional distress it is important to allow other people to take over some of your responsibilities. Other people often feel the need to show you how much they care about you.
- Surround yourself with loved ones. You may feel lonely and separate from other people when you are grieving. You may think that no one else can understand the depth of your feelings. Surrounding yourself with people that you love and talking about your feelings and concerns may help you feel less lonely and more connected with others.
- Talk about your feelings. Discuss your concerns with your family and friends or your doctor or nurse.

The Hearsey Scholarship for Actuarial Science Donors
The Hearsey Scholarship for Actuarial Science
Through the generosity of friends, former students, and an anonymous donor who pledged $10,000, The Hearsey Scholarship for Actuarial Science has surpassed its $100,000 goal, and its total endowment is still climbing. The scholarship was created in honor of Dr. Bryan Hearsey, professor emeritus of mathematical sciences, who taught at the College, and served as long-time chair of the Mathematical Sciences Department and the Actuarial Science Program, for almost 40 years.
Bryan took the reins of our struggling actuarial science major in 1976 and during the next three decades built a program that now has few rivals in North America. The statistics are almost unbelievable. We've produced 60 Fellows and 37 Associates of the actuarial societies, and recently, our students have passed more than 20 exams in each of the last two years. For comparison, our most similar competitor reported to the Society of Actuaries that their students passed an average of 4 exams per year during the same time period.
When asked about his success, Bryan is modest; he smiles and attributes it to luck. But if pressed, he says it's always been about hard work and putting students first. Our goal is to continue to put our students first—by giving them more financial aid to attend LVC to study actuarial science. This scholarship will also help us recruit students so that the program remains strong.
Please join the effort to support The Hearsey Scholarship for Actuarial Science. To see the current total, a list of donors, or to donate to The Hearsey Scholarship for Actuarial Science, please visit the Donors page.

Evacuation Frequently Asked Questions
What is a zoned evacuation?
When classes are in session, the Dayton campus population can exceed 20,000 students, faculty, staff, and visitors. If classes are canceled and an order to close campus is given during that time, prior planning and coordination may be necessary to control traffic off-campus in a safe and orderly manner. The zoned evacuation procedures detail traffic patterns, assignment of responsibilities, and resources needed to minimize traffic gridlock and move people off campus as quickly and efficiently as possible.
When could a zoned evacuation be initiated?
An actual or impending emergency may result in an order to cancel classes or close the Dayton campus. If a zoned evacuation is ordered, it would only be initiated during business hours, Monday through Friday, and when classes are in session. Although the campus may close, the zoned evacuation procedures will not be initiated after 5:00 p.m., during holidays, term breaks, intersession, or any other time when classes are not in session.
How will I be informed when Wright State University closes due to winter weather?
WSU Alert, Wright State's emergency notification system, will be activated. A zoned evacuation is specific to the Dayton campus and will only be initiated during business hours, Monday through Friday, and when classes are in session. Information about the evacuation will be sent via selected WSU Alert channels.
The zoned evacuation procedures state that "two-way traffic flow will be maintained." Does that mean I can turn either way out of the parking lot?
No. Traffic patterns during the evacuation are intended to efficiently move everyone off campus and avoid a gridlock. Maintaining two-way traffic flow will keep one lane open to allow emergency services vehicles access to campus. If you drive around barricades or do not follow the established traffic patterns, you will be blocking that access. This will result in you being directed by a traffic control unit to immediately enter the nearest parking lot and follow the flow of traffic from that lot to exit campus.
How long will it take to evacuate campus using the zoned evacuation procedures?
If everyone cooperates and follows the simple zoned evacuation instructions, it should take less than 90 minutes for the campus community to leave the Dayton campus. HOWEVER, the one variable we have no control over is the traffic on the roads and highways off campus. The more congested the roadways off campus, the longer it will take for the Dayton campus to evacuate.
I'm parked in Zone 3. Why do I have to wait 30-45 minutes after a zoned evacuation is announced before leaving?
Too many vehicles released at one time onto Colonel Glenn Highway will result in a traffic jam and that means a much longer wait in your car to get home. Zone 1 was chosen over Zone 3 to accommodate the majority of our student population who park in Lot 4.
I was dropped off and need to be picked up, but my ride can't get onto campus. What are my options?
You have two options. You can contact your ride and have them pick you up at the bus shelter at Lot 20. You can walk or pick up the shuttle at Millett Hall and ride to Lot 20. NOTE: The bus shelter at Lot 20 will only accommodate 50 people, so consider a second option. You can wait until the University Police re-open campus roads to incoming traffic...about 90 minutes. Either way, you should let your ride know what you plan to do.
I have a child at Mini-University. How do I get to Mini-U if the roads into campus are closed?
If you are on campus: Only people parked in Zone 2 (Lots 8-11) and Zone 4 (Lots 18-20 and all Nutter Center Lots) have direct access to Mini-U. People parked in Zone 1 (Lots 1-7) and Zone 3 (Lots 12-17) must exit campus and re-enter following the off-campus instruction below.
If you are off campus: Enter campus from Kauffman Road or Colonel Glenn Highway at the 844 entrance ramp.
Parking at Mini-University: Lots 18 and 19 (at and across from Mini-U) will remain open for you to park your vehicle. A police officer will be directing vehicle and pedestrian traffic at Mini-U.
My car is parked in Lot 20. Are the Campus Shuttles still operating?
Yes. However, campus shuttles will be redirected to the bus stop at the north entrance of Millett Hall. Normal shuttle routes will resume when University Police re-open campus roads to incoming traffic.
Where can I pick up the bus?
RTA, Project Mobility, and Greene CATS will all be redirected to the bus stop at the north entrance of Millett Hall. Normal bus routes and campus stops will resume when University Police re-open the campus roads to incoming traffic.

Hey man! If you want to look really radical this Halloween, there's no better way than purchasing one of our hippie costumes . Take a trip all the way back to the 1960's with a look like this that will have you promoting peace and love in a time of war. The hippie lifestyle created a new way of thinking which is still seen today. The world of being a hippie may not have been all that glorious, but the style sure was. Many hippies wore tie dye colored clothing with many psychedelic patterns printed on them. They typically wore bellbottom pants which were common of the time period as well as several accessories such as headbands and tinted glasses.
If you promote the hippie lifestyle, then you can't go wrong with traveling back in time to feel like a classic hippie in one of these costumes. Whether you're a man or a woman, child or adult, you can find a hippie costume for you. Some of the outfits look like they came right out of the 60's, while others have gotten a much more modern reboot. You'll definitely be at peace once you purchase one of our hippie costumes. There may be tons of different outfits, but there is only one kind of peace and love that you should promote. Become a hippie and rebel against the government with these psychedelic looks.

Professional clearance and tipping off.
If an accountant submits a SAR for a client, they can't tell the client, lest they commit a tipping off offence.
If the client changes accountant, the outgoing accountant should receive a letter of professional clearance. I would have thought it's only fair to inform the new accountant that there are issues (it's a bit rough on them if you can't).
a) Is it acceptable to say "We do know of professional reasons why you might wish to decline this appointment, but due to the Money Laundering Regulations we are prevented from giving you details."? Or can you out and say "We submitted a SAR for this client."?
b) If it is appropriate to inform the new accountant that there was a MLR issue, and if, accidentally or otherwise, the client found out from the new accountant, has a tipping off offence been committed? If so, was it by the old accountant (who presumably would only have mentioned MLR issues if this is acceptable in a professional clearance letter and would have assumed this information would be kept confidential), or was it by the new accountant?
Thank you.
Technical and practical answers
There are two answers to this - a technical answer and a practical answer.
A tipping off offence occurs where you tell someone that a money laundering report has been made to the firm's MLRO or to the authorities (normally in the form of a Suspicious Activity Report to SOCA) - see s333A Proceeds of Crime Act 2002.
However you are allowed to tell someone about a report in certain circumstances. You are allowed, if you are an accountant who satisfies the criteria of a 'relevant professional adviser', to tell another accountant (who also meets those criteria) for the purpose of preventing a money laundering offence and in the course of giving professional clearance information. Essentially this means that the telling and the listening accountants each have to be members of appropriate professional bodies - s333C and s333E(5) PoCA 2002.
So the technical answer is that - if the conditions are met - you can tell the new accountant that you have submitted a SAR.
In practice I would not tell a new accountant that I had submitted a SAR. But I would only have submitted a SAR if I had information which had given rise to a suspicion.
There is no legal bar on passing on to the new accountant (or to every Tom, Dick & Harry you meet - except that it would be a breach of client confidentiality) all the information you have received which gave rise to your suspicion. I would tell the new accountant all of this (unless I suspected him to be a dodgy geezer himself!).
But I would not add, " . . . and I have submitted an SAR to SOCA about this". There is no need to tell the new accountant this (he will probably guess it anyway - that's no problem).
If the new accountant asked me whether I had submitted a SAR I would reply along the lines of, "It is not the firm's policy to comment on whether a SAR has been submitted in relation to any person. However we are fully aware of our legal responsibilities in relation to suspected money laundering and we comply with those responsibilities".
Thanks David

The Pistol is a weapon present in all Grand Theft Auto games, being the most basic firearm in the series.
The Pistol is mainly used at the start of the game as the first weapon the player obtains, or later when the player has run out of ammunition for other firearms. It is a reliable backup weapon, but not one that should be used as a primary, as it is outclassed by many other weapons in damage, fire rate, and overall effectiveness.
The pistol frequently varies in design throughout the series, taking the form of many popular handguns.
In GTA 1 and GTA London, the Pistol closely resembles the AMT Automag II by the HUD image, although the GTA 1 Icon resembles the Soviet Tokarev TT-33. In GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas, the pistol resembles a Colt M1911. The Pistol's magazine capacity ranges from 12 rounds (in III) to 17 rounds (Vice City onwards). All of this is despite the fact that the Colt M1911 isn't commonly chambered in 9mm and, even if it was, it still possesses a single-stack magazine design, therefore making it impossible to fit more than 7 rounds in the magazine without redesigning the weapon or using an extended magazine that extends beyond the bottom of the grip. However, the Browning Hi-Power is chambered in 9mm and holds 13 rounds, thus making it plausible that the GTA III version of the Pistol is modelled after the Hi-Power, but making it impossible in Vice City Stories. In the introduction cutscene of San Andreas, where all three members of C.R.A.S.H. arrest Carl Johnson, Jimmy Hernandez and Eddie Pulaski are holding Glock 17 Pistols, instead of the normal Colt M1911 Pistols like the ones in gameplay. Given the fact that the in-game Pistol's magazine capacity (17 rounds) is incorrect for a Colt M1911 but correct for a Glock 17, and the fact that the Glock really is a 9mm Pistol, it may be that the developers originally intended the player to use the model seen in the cutscenes, but this feature was left out for some reason. The Glock 17 can be used in-game by switching and swapping the M1911 pistol's model/texture with that of the Glock's.
In GTA Liberty City Stories, the Pistol resembles the Glock 17, being one of the most accurately depicted Pistols in a GTA game. In GTA Vice City Stories, the Pistol resembles a Beretta 92. In reality, the Beretta can carry only 15 rounds in the magazine and one in the chamber, making it impossible to carry 17 bullets as shown in game, since the magazine size is normal.
In Grand Theft Auto IV, the Pistol is an incorrectly modeled Glock 17. "22" is inscribed on the slide, albeit innaccurately. It is unknown what version of the Glock Rockstar intended for this Pistol, as the in-game model has the exterior of a Glock 22, but has the caliber, magazine capacity and traits of a Glock 17. The sights on the model are also incorrect; the gun's front sight is a duplicate of the twin-post rear sight.
In Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars, the Pistol's HUD icon and artwork including the weapon suggests that it is designed as a Browning Hi-Power Practical.
In Grand Theft Auto V, judging by it's HUD icon, it seems to be based on a Berreta 92, similarly to the Vice City Stories version.
In its original form in Grand Theft Auto and Grand Theft Auto 2, the pistol is one of the least effective firearms, firing only one bullet every second or so, at a rate slower than a machine gun.
From Grand Theft Auto III onwards, the 9mm Pistol is given generally poor stopping power, average accuracy, and a fairly short range. In GTA San Andreas the weapon is significantly more effective than it's previous iterations, having higher range, damage, and accuracy. Coupled with a one shot headshot capability, it is much more effective as a weapon.
In GTA IV, the Pistol performs well. Unlike previous GTA games, in which the Pistol is soon usurped by other weapons, the Pistol in GTA IV can be used effectively throughout the entire game. By using cover strategically, being patient, and making your shots count, it is possible to complete most missions in GTA IV and its episodes with just a Pistol. It can be fired from cars, and its availability, ammo capacity, and higher fire rate make it more desirable for drive-bys and chases than the Combat Pistol. However, submachine guns are always a better option than pistols if available, mainly because of their fully automatic capability, fire rate, and in some cases, higher damage.
The pistol also returns in Grand Theft Auto V, this time with a magazine capable of carrying 12 bullets, according to the HUD.
This Pistol can be purchased at every gun store across Liberty City, as well as found in various locations listed below, LCPD Police Officers carry this Pistol as their standard service weapon and therefore the player can easily gain control of one if they haven't yet unlocked any gun stores or are in need of more ammunition.

Even if you don't have a professional makeup artist like your favorite celebrities do, you can still steal some of their tricks and techniques to learn how to apply makeup so you can try on the same trends.
Taylor Swift recently rocked her signature cat-eye eye makeup at the American Music Awards, and her makeup artist told People Magazine that the trick is as simple as wetting the eyeshadow brush with water. This makes it easier to apply, like a paint.
Faith Hill recommends always curling your eyelashes because it "opens up your eyes." Katy Perry's makeup artist told the news source that he used a coral blush to accent her coral red lips, to give her makeup palette a cohesive look.
AnnaLynne McCord recommends one basic beauty tool for the winter - bronzer. Using a large kabuki brush, it is easy to apply this powder to your face, neck, and shoulders if you are exposing them. McCord says that contouring your cheeks and then accenting your nose, chin and forehead with bronzer is a surefire way to look good. This will make you glow even without a day in the sun.
