Shoes, supplies and health screenings offered in back-to-school event
GOSHEN — Nearly 400 volunteers served more than 1,100 people Saturday, July 13, at Brenneman Memorial Missionary Church's second annual "Back-2-School Event" north of the city.
In addition to school supplies, shoes, food, hair cuts and fun for elementary-age children, there was a health fair with 11 health screenings for people of all ages.
"I think it's something nice for the kids and the adults," said Geneva Avila as she came through line helping a child get a bag filled with school supplies.
Liliann Quintero, who headed up the health fair, said, "We are so glad we're working in conjunction with Brenneman. It's like a family day."
Quintero, executive director of the Northern Indiana Hispanic Health Coalition, said the health fair alone had 175 volunteers, including 40 nursing students from area schools. "We did 400 lipid panels in one hour," she said, and they were working to not only catch health problems for people but to "promote the importance of prevention."
Nancy Rodriguez-Lara, a local therapist providing depression screening, said joining the health fair with the school event "all works together. It feels very welcoming and that gives a good message, being one community and not a divided community."
Dr. James Myers, who provided vision screenings nearby, said, "It certainly provides a very unique service to the community."
Adding that health service was something Kelli Armentrout, Brenneman's worship leader and coordinator of the event, hoped to add last year. The health coalition was a smaller part of last year's inaugural event, Armentrout said, and they got a grant to put on their 10th health fair during Brenneman's event. "It just provides a whole other aspect of what we think we can do for the community," Armentrout said.
The church provided 1,000 school bags loaded with supplies, and it also bought 530 pairs of shoes from Samaritan's Feet, a shoe charity that aims to provide 1 million pairs of shoes this year. "We're glad to do our small part of that," Armentrout said. "The shoes are probably half of our budget. The shoes are still very, very popular. People need them," she said.
A couple hundred volunteers helped outside the health fair, she said. "The whole church, all the staff, everybody gets involved. It's very gratifying to see people really put their heart and soul into something like this."
She said the church is already making plans for next year. "It's what we do. It's what we're called to do," she said.

Jack White was in the right place at the right time, during the lowest point in recent memory for popular music. He's a solid musician, but his importance and/or greatness was magnified because he was a lone diamond in a giant sea of diarrhea.
Prince is a far better guitar player, has written far better songs, and would be the star he is regardless of the era of music that he gained his popularity during.

On the heels of a summer that featured a potentially record-breaking lobster haul in Maine and Canada and a crash in wholesale prices, top lobster scientists are meeting in Maine to look at fundamental changes that have affected lobsters in recent years.
PORTLAND, Maine (AP) _ The Maine Sea Grant program is hosting a conference in Portland focusing on things such as warming ocean temperatures, the changing food web and seafood economics. About 135 people have registered, including scientists from the U.S., Canada and Europe.
Conference co-chairman Rick Wahle, a University of Maine research professor, said the lobster industry is at a critical juncture, with the Maine harvest going gangbusters but the fishery virtually collapsed in southern New England.
The symposium begins with a Tuesday evening reception and wraps up Friday.

The federal prosecution of five former employees of the private security firm Blackwater has collapsed after the defendants said they were acting at the direction of the CIA by providing five automatic rifles as gifts to King Abdullah of Jordan.
Federal prosecutors had indicted former Blackwater president Gary Jackson and four others on a long list of felony firearms violations in 2010. But charges against three of them were dropped Thursday.
Jackson and former company vice president William Matthews pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges related to record keeping violations, resulting in $5,000 fines and no jail time.
The government's case crumbled after defense lawyers produced two retired CIA officials who said they knew about the weapons presented to Abdullah during a visit to Blackwater's compound in Moyok.

Barton Simmons
Rivals.com Football Recruiting
FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Rivals.com recruiting analyst Barton Simmons has been scouting all of the all-star action this week in Florida as players prepare for the Under Armour and Offense-Defense all-star games.
Here is Simmons' breakdown of the position match-ups and which squad holds the advantage for the Offense-Defense all-star game.
It has been quarterback by committee for the West team squad this week and just over the last few practices has Matt Scott emerged as the favorite for the starting nod. Scott has really developed throughout the week and has looked more and more consistent at the helm. Beau Sweeney and Nathan Stanley have both had their moments as well. D.C. Jefferson and Justin Tuggle of the East have stuggled at times with the weather but have the tools to step up come game time.
Advantage: West
The threesome of Michael Shaw, Devoe Torrence and Jermaine Taylor have been dynamite in practice for the East. Shaw and Thomas are similar slashing backs with a quick hitting style while Torrence runs with a little bit more punch between the tackles. The duo of Cyrus Gray and Jamal Womble haven't been as spectacular in the West practices but have still command a tremendous amount of respect.
Advantage: East
Both the East and the West possess a dangerous and talented receiving corps. Melvin Ray and Dejuan Miller offer a big one-two receiving punch for the East but the West offers a little bit more diversity. Jeff Fuller is a big possession guy and red zone threat while Kemonte Bateman can cut up a defensive back with his speed and quickness. Throw in speedy Allante Battle and Cal commit Marvin Jones and the West quarterbacks will have some very nice options.
The tight end duo for the West is a dynamic pair. Matt Branch has shown some good hands and athleticism while his size makes him a great blocking candidate while Steven Figueroa has looked very comfortable catching the football and is more of a receiving threat. On the East, Jabaris Little has had limited opportunities to be productive while Travis Dungee is playing out of position and filling a need.
A good offensive line always starts with a good pair of bookends and the East team has its pair in Cordy Glenn and Bobby Massie. The two players are similar in their size and strength and should give their quarterbacks some piece of mind. The West strength is found in its interior. Alameda Ta'amu is a versatile guard while David Decastro has been fantastic manning the center position.
Armond Armstead has been one of the most dominating players at the Offense-Defense practices this on either team and his fellow defensive linemen Datone Jones and Everette Thompson have also looked very good. On the East however, the defensive line has a host of players that can get the job done. Earl Okine, Keith Wells and Glenn Harbin are all very similar and very active players at defensive end. Corey Liuget is also a strong defensive end that can move down and play inside as well. Micanor Regis provides another active threat on the inside and adds to a deep and talented group.
While the West boasts a linebacking corps with some talented players such as Kyle Mangan, Dewitt Stuckey and Will Compton, the East group is special. Marcus Dowtin has been a star in practice this week and the Penn State trio of Mike Zordich, Mike Yancich and Brandon Beachum all have been very good. Virginia Tech commit Bruce Taylor completes the group and has been one of the defensive leaders.
Nick Moody is one of the best overall players on either team and has been active and omnipresent in the secondary. He is joined on the East by the diminutive Matt Brown who has played well above his height and Georgia commit Mikiri Pugh. On the West, the corners are manned by two of the best in the nation in Aaron Hester and Marc Anthony. Both players have looked like elite lock-down corners and have been backed up by the solid safety play of Keon Furtch.
Advantages: West

In-wall and in-ceiling speakers are an unobtrusive way to fill your room with music, or add surround sound to your home theater.
In-wall and in-ceiling speakers have become some of our best-selling models, and it's easy to see why. They finally sound good enough to satisfy those who care about audio quality, and are also a great solution for folks who don't want to give up their floor or shelf space to traditional speakers. Below, we'll take a look at the things you should consider when buying in-wall or in-ceiling speakers. [Shop for in-wall speakers.] [Shop for in-ceiling speakers.]
How they work: the basics
An in-wall speaker works like a regular speaker. But instead of being attached to a cabinet, it's mounted in a frame and set into your wall. It uses the wall cavity as a large cabinet, giving you more bass than you might get from a stand-alone speaker of the same size.
An in-ceiling speaker works essentially the same way, except that — you guessed it — it's installed in your ceiling. For the most part, in-wall speakers tend to be rectangular, and in-ceiling speakers tend to be round — but there's no reason you couldn't install a rectangular in-wall speaker in your ceiling, for example, if that's what you preferred. Almost all in-wall and in-ceiling speakers have paintable grilles, so you can camouflage them in your walls or ceiling.
In-wall and in-ceiling speakers use your wall and ceiling cavities as large speaker cabinets.
Using in-wall and in-ceiling speakers
Two of the most important things to think about when shopping for in-wall or in-ceiling speakers are how you're going to use them and where you'd like to install them. For example, you'd probably buy a different type and number of speakers for surround sound in your home theater than you would for background music in the kitchen. Before you start looking at specific speaker models and features, you'll need to decide how and where you'll use them. You can find detailed recommendations for a number of different rooms and setups in our in-wall and in-ceiling speaker placement article.
Deciding between different speakers
Wherever you're installing your in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, there are a few key factors to consider while you shop:
- Frequency response (Hz) — The range of human hearing is about 20-20,000 Hz. Frequency response tells you what portion of that range a speaker can reproduce. For example, a speaker with a frequency response of 50-20,000 Hz handles a larger portion of that range than a speaker with a frequency response of 65-20,000 Hz. You'd generally hear deeper bass and more balanced sound from the 50 Hz speaker.
- Power handling (watts) — A speaker's recommended power specification usually tells you the maximum amplifier power the speaker can handle; often, its minimum power handling is included as well. This information tells you how much power your amp or receiver should have to safely drive your speakers. For example, a 100-watt RMS receiver would be a good match for a speaker with recommended power of 20-100 watts.
- Sensitivity (dB) — A speaker's sensitivity, or efficiency, rating indicates how effectively it uses the power it receives from your amplifier. Speakers with higher sensitivity ratings can be played louder without straining your amp. In fact, a model with a sensitivity rating that's 3 dB higher than another speaker's only needs half as much power to deliver sound at the same volume.
Here are some other features to consider, depending on where you're installing your speakers, and how you're going to listen to them:
- Swiveling tweeters — Some in-wall and in-ceiling speakers come with swiveling tweeters, so you can angle the sound toward a preferred listening spot. For example, in a home theater setup, you might angle the tweeters in your surround speakers to get more realistic sound effects.
- Bass and treble tone controls — It's impossible to know exactly how in-wall or in-ceiling speakers will sound in your home until you install them. Bass and treble controls let you tweak the sound for your space, even after your speakers are in.
- Moisture-resistance — If you're installing speakers in a potentially humid area, like a bathroom or kitchen, look for moisture-resistant models. They'll stand up to humidity better than other speakers.
Stereo input speakers — perfect for small or awkward spaces
A single stereo input speaker plays both the left and right channels of stereo music through one woofer and two angled tweeters. They're a great way to add background music to small or awkward spaces, where having two speakers isn't practical. For example, you might install one in a walk-in closet, two in a large bathroom, or three down a long hallway.
A single stereo-input speaker plays both the left and right channels of stereo music through one woofer and two angled tweeters.
What about a subwoofer?
If you're using in-wall or in-ceiling speakers for dedicated music listening or for home theater, a powered subwoofer is a must. It fills out the low frequencies, giving you warmer, more realistic sound. Many subwoofers are small enough to tuck behind a couch or table. We also offer subs that install in your wall, floor or ceiling for an elegant, space-saving solution. [Shop for in-wall subwoofers.]
Keep your home and family safe with in-wall rated speaker wire
When you're installing in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, it's important that you use speaker cable that's approved for in-wall runs. Be sure to check your local building and fire code and buy wire accordingly. If you're going to run cable inside your walls, you'll need UL-rated speaker wire labeled CL2 or CL3.
The Underwriters Laboratory (UL) looks at heat generated from current flowing through wire, how quickly the cable will catch and spread fire when exposed to flame, and the wire's susceptibility to damage from external stresses.
Before you buy: about installation
To get a good idea of what's involved in installing in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, check out our free, step-by-step installation guides for in-wall wire and in-wall, in-ceiling, and on-wall speakers. If you're planning on installing your wire and speakers yourself, make sure you're comfortable with all the tasks described.
If you'd prefer not to install your own in-wall or in-ceiling speakers, we can set you up with a certified professional installer in your area. For more information, call our A/V Design Group at 1-800-555-9407.

August 11, 2009 - The Wit and Wisdom of Champion J Pepper
Hey Everybody,

We'd like our readers to help narrow them down and cast the movie.Read More

Due to the winter storm that impacted the entire coast of the state, the North Carolina Ferry System has suspended service on all seven of its regular routes.
Large amounts of snow and ice cover ferry decks, ramps, and terminal parking lots, and in some cases roads leading to the ferry terminals are impassible.
Crews will continue to monitor the situation at each terminal, and each route will resume operations as soon as it can safely do so.

We may be prepping for snow, but Operation Summer Heatwave has netted more arrests.
The Halifax County Sheriffs deputies arrested 25-year-old Bryant Harrison for suspicion of dealing crack cocaine near a high school.
Deputies stopped Harrison on a scooter in Roanoke Rapids for an equipment violation.
When deputies discovered Bryant had existing warrants for selling drugs within 100 feet of a school and possession, he was placed under arrest. Harrison was given a $25,000 bond. His first court date is June 5th.

I am currently drafting a fantasy novel based loosely on A Song of Ice and Fire with influences from The Elder Scrolls, Arthurian Legend and more. I am the sort of writer that comes up with characters, places, events, etc. and then pieces the main story around them as I go along. The story takes place on an island ruled by one king and split into a number of holds, each looked after by a lord. The key story line involves the west of the island at war with the east.
With a few characters and guilds down on paper, I now wish to attack the geography, holds and lords. What I am thinking of is an island similar to the British Isles. The west is an infertile land where men struggle with everyday life and the east is a fertile, rich land. There are only two things that are necessities:
A mountainous region around NW on the map, right on the coast.
A wide body in the center of the island where a large hold sits (the center of trade).
The rest is down to you.
Here is what I would like my island based around.
The British Isles
Custom Map
Since I am still young and writing is currently a hobby, there will unfortunately be no payment. However if this book materializes and is published, you will of course be fully credited for the design of the map and then would be a good time to talk about payment. Until then...
...I thank you in advance and look forward to seeing a great artist turn my idea into reality
Many thanks.

Looking great! I was thinking of it in total being a little larger than the British Isles. After trawling the internet for a map of the British Isles, I finally found this one with a scale chart: http://wikitravel.org/upload/shared/...ingdom_map.png
Hope it helps, look forward to the final design.
P.S Forgot to mention... would it be possible to add some rivers?
Many thanks
Posted before my original one was accepted by administrator.
If you read before acceptance then...
... I was hoping for the islands to be a little larger than the British Isles.
Here is a map I found with a size guide: http://wikitravel.org/upload/shared/...ingdom_map.png
Hope this helps.

You can have anything you like; rivers, roads, trails, towns, different colours, symbols for hills and mtns and forests etc etc.
I was just showing you a style and there are plenty at this website to choose from.
I quickly added some rivers but would need to go back and tidy them up.
If this looks like something you can work with, I'd be happy to work off-line to get you what you want.
I like the style; it's clear and something I can draft over without it looking a mess. Look forward to working with you.
If you wish to contact me: callan97---at---hotmail.co.uk
Hey, hope this is not too inconvenient :/ I have been drafting a little more and now require an island, about the same size of the north island, north of the current north island. Because of this I would like to bridge the gap between the main island and the north island so I have more room for holds and cities. I hope this does not cause too much of a problem.
Many thanks.
P.S Mail me when you are at the stage for finer details
Forgot to attach picture to show what I meant. Read lines show where I would like the land to go; the actual shape is down to you, just elaborate on my lines. Green wiggle just shows the new island. I hope for the distance to be about 2 squares.
Really sorry if this causes too much trouble

New Year's Resolutions and New Year Resolution
by Scott Miller
posted Jan 6 2011 2:58PM
Did you make New Year's Resolutions? If you did, how are you doing? Four out of Five people who make resolutions break them. Less than a third of people make it until the end of January. Maybe we're not being realistic when we make big bold predictions. To effect change, goals have to be achievable. The most popular resolution is to lose weight (actually the most popular resolution is to not make resoluions), and I read a recent survey that concluded we're pretty clueless about what we put into our bodies. While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says 68% of us are overweight or obese, only 1 in 10 of us think we have an unhealthy diet. Pretty revealing info about us I think.
Here's a New Year Resolution that I'll make and keep. To listen to a brand new feature that begins this weekend on WOLX. It's called Scott Miller's Top 9 @ 9. It's a replay of the songs from a day in music history. It'll air every Saturday morning at 9 am, and this Saturday it's January 8th, and the year featured will be 1974. The Top 9 songs from the chart, counted down, by me. I'll be just like Casey Kasem.
Hope you'll listen, and I also hope you'll let me know what you think. What year I should feature. Input is always welcomed.
And resolutions or not, Happy New Year and thanks for listening!

As a child I my dream was to become a famous tv star. Then as a teenager I started to perform in a few stage plays. Little did I know that I have a hidden talent. One that came out in my adult years. And did is the ability to write. To write songs. It started off with writing poems and then it turned into songs. Currently I have two songs on youtube. My lyrics is so powerful that I find at times that I have tears in my eyes. I write from within. My wish for this year is to have my songs being discovered, hopefully by someone like Carrie Underwood or any famous Country singer. So this is my New Year resolution. I have discovered my talent and now that I know I am great I can not stop chasing after it. So for everyone out there do not ever give up on your dreams. And if Carrie should see this comment...Go to youtube and search for Berenice Silver. You will like the words. Cheers to everyone and may all your dreams come true Berenice Silver berenice email@example.com youtube/berenice silver

Gang Wars is a side mission in The Lost and Damned. To start a Gang War, the player must drive to a designated meeting point and then drive to the enemy's location. Clay, Terry, Jim and three non-storyline characters assist the player during a battle. Completing a Gang War earns money and raises toughness of surviving Lost MC members, and spawns weapons in Johnny's safehouses. Completing 25 Gang Wars raises the player's completion percentage.
Gang Wars enemies
- The Angels of Death
- Hillside Posse
- The Italian Mafia (Gambetti, Pavano, Messina, Lupisella, Ancelotti, and Pegorino crime Syndicates)
- The Russian Mafia (Petrovic's Family, Faustin's Family, Bulgarin's Family and Rascalov's Family)
- The Albanian Mafia
Rewards for completing Gang Wars
Completing Gang Wars will reward Johnny with weapons which will spawn at either of his safehouses.
- 10 Gang Wars: A Sawn-off Shotgun spawns
- 20 Gang Wars: An Automatic 9mm spawns
- 30 Gang Wars: A Carbine Rifle spawns
- 40 Gang Wars: An Assault Shotgun spawns. The weapon spawns after completing the mission "Heavy Toll" and the necessary Gang Wars.
- All 50 Gang Wars: A Grenade Launcher spawns
Gang War Variations
- Hanging Out Wars: This gang warfare style is when a gang is situated in one location of the map and there approximately 20-30 enemies to gun down then has the capability to call for reinforcements. Either Clay or Terry says this before Klebitz goes to the war ('"I have intel that they are hangin in our very OWN Alderney") this means it is a Hanging Out war.
- Cruising Wars: This gang warfare style is when there are gangs on the move and waiting for a provoked attack (Lost MC attacks). There are many enemies in this style of warfare as they do call for more backup and more gang members spawn. Either Clay or Terry states ("They are just cruisin' and shit") this means that this war is a Cruising War.
- Transportation Wars: This style of gang war requires Klebitz to chase down and destroy the main enemy vehicle without it getting away. In this gang war there are also many enemies trying to protect a vehicle at all cost that they even call for more backup. Either Terry or Clay says ("They are doing a little escort work last time I heard") this means that this mission is a Transportation War.
By completing an increasing number of Gang Wars, the number of enemies you have to fight increases, and their weapons get stronger as well. You will have to develop different strategies to beat these missions.
For Hanging Out Wars and Cruising Wars, try a hit-and-run-strategy. Some enemies will follow you to an ambush. Return to the remaining foes afterwards.
For Transportation Wars, you should hit the target vehicle as quick and hard as you can with a Sawn-off Shotgun. Shoot the driver to stop the vehicle, then shoot at the vehicle until it starts burning and consequently explodes.
Gang Vehicles Used In Gang Wars
Below lists all of the vehicles used by enemy gangs in the Gang Wars. Some are target vehicles that require the player to destroy rather than kill off the enemy gang.
|Standard Vehicles
|Target Vehicles
|The Angels of Death
| Gang Burrito
|Yardie Jamaican Hillside Posse
| Huntley Sport
|The Commission(Gambettis, Pavanos, Messinas, Lupisellas, Ancelottis, Pegorinos)
| Sentinel
|Russian Mafia(Petrovic's Family, Faustin's Family, Bulgarin's Family)
| Schafter
| Futo
| Packer
Members of the Lost MC
There are 24 members of Lost Brotherhood that can join Johnny's formation in Gang Wars, other than the usually present Jim Fitzgerald, Clay Simons, and Terry Thorpe. Each new member (up to three) rides on the backs of Jim, Clay, and Terry and aid the group in killing enemies. Each can be toughened up to increase their AI and upgrade their weapons, but each can also be killed in every gang warfare event. Once one dies, the next member takes his place.
Here are their names: Nick, Wayne, Earl, Horse, Buck, Dogg, Hank, Hal, Willy, Frank, Pat, Bruce, Tug, Leon, Chuck, Dick, Brett, Hamm, Monty, Spike, Conan, Petey, Glenn, Shawn.
- Malc, during the mission "Heavy Toll", mentioned, that the war between The Lost and AOD is very similar to warfare in Los Santos, presumably in reference to the similarity of the gang warfare systems in GTA SA and TLAD.
- Terry will refer an enemy gang as "lunatics" if the enemy gang is aggressive and this could be any gang except for Angels of Death.
- The gang will not follow you unless you are on a bike. This can be usefull if you want to level up gang members. Simply switch to a car or helicopter and go to the gang location yourself. Once there, soften up the enemy gang's defenses with explosives. Soon the rest of the gang will show up and take out the remaining members.
- Jim, Terry, Clay and other different bikers do not need to survive to complete to war, only Johnny needs to survive, also it is possible to kill any of them without failing the gang war, it fails if either the Angels of Death escape or if Johnny dies.
- The more gang wars that you complete the more things you will have to look out for e.g:more attention from cops and enemies using deadly weapons like explosives.
- After the mission Was it Worth It?, Jim will no longer be with you on gang wars and is replaced with another member of The Lost each time the current one is killed.
- The bikers that drive other than Terry and Clay on your side are always aggressive and will rush towards enemies when the battle starts, often leading towards their death while they can't defend themselves.

You can block me from doing everything on this wiki, but you can't stop me from looking at it if I damn well please to. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Shadowmentor (talk • contribs)
Ninishe's message
I had just recieved a message on my talk page and I have just copied it so that you can have a copy of it and it seems that I am feeling threaten by the message, I have also responed to this message. Please can you sort this out before it gets worse.
Dear VampireAndWerewolfsAreAwesomeAsHell23,
posted that video of the battle from Breaking Dawn - Part 2. So why is it up on your profile page? And stop copying me with the quizzes, because it was my idea first.

Undid edits
Hey! I wanted to know what's up with undoing my edits? Was it the template? Can you discuss the template with other admins?

Dear MinorStoop,
I was not threatening VampiresAndWerewolfsAreAwesomeAsHell23. I was just saying that it was like (s)he was copying me, because I was starting quizzes. And I felt threatened by VAW starting quizzes, in case they were better than mine. But anyway, it was wrong and I was selfish and it's in the past. I don't mean to be disrespectful to any of the admins or moderators, but just because you're an authority on this wiki, doesn't mean you can block me. That's censorship. Go on, block me if you feel like it, but I think you already know I'm the kind of type to go around and keep creating accounts.
And I am deeply sorry by offending/insulting anyone, especially VAW. And I promise it won't get any worse.

Page Pictures
I'm sorry, I didn't know... I just thought that those old pictures would not sufice, since the series ended. I really like gifs, I didn't know they weren't allowed. And when are they allowed?

Twilight=Mylife Edits
Earlier Message
Hey Minor, I am a little concerned with Twilight=Mylife's edits, can you please check the users contributions. I know I am not one to complain about editing around here, but this user is starting to get a little annoying with me or other users having to revert the edits the user has done. Later Message
- Ok, what if I see her doing trollish on here, what should I? That is always a good question, but it seems like I might be over reacting a little bit.
Plus Minor I was thinking with the video's from Twilight-Breaking Dawn - Part 2 should be tabbed. It just makes the pages a lot more let me say it, smaller but with every single video still on it. I know it will be a pain, but I have shown everyone in a blog I have recently put up and it is Twilight Video Test, to show you and other admins on here that it might be a good solution to make those pages smaller. But if you and the other admins think so then I will accept it and move on. Thanks anyway.
- I will ask Pam, plus it might be a way to stop make those pages long. Thanks for the request comeback, plus I would like to express that it would be nice to have you on the Host Wiki as an Admin, I can make you one on their if you want. We could collaborate together and get it up to standards. At the moment, it is getting up on it's feet.
Yeah that could work too. I just don't like them on the regular pages, where they divide up the text. But it seems to be fitting for media. -TagAlongPam (talk) 11:31, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

I have moved the information that was on that page on to the vampire page, so what do you think, I think it should be on there. Due to it a vampire "attribute" and if not you can revert the edit, but it so, then you can delete the page and leave the information on the vampire page. Just thought of an idea, it is under the legend part on the page.
- Ok, so, can it be put on the human page.
- Yes and I think it should be on the page. So can I edit it, so you can think it over.
- I have edited it, have look http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Human
- Yes, I can and I am sorry about it, I should not have done the edit with your approval first.

Hey Minor can you please delete this for me, if you could please.
RE: Delete Please
I wonder who deleted them, that is a good question and yes, you were right someone has beat you to the "punch" so to speak.
- I have checked it and it was Pam that beat you and I only wanted them to just be on a blog, and on my talk page as a decoration, but people think different from me and so they are not coming on the wiki anymore. But they are on my computer and I can have access to them for my own person use and to me, they were only going to start arguments on here, so Pam did the right thing.
- Plus I also want to ask you would you like to be a back up admin on The Host Wiki, it is just in case I need another person to put into the place of an admin that has it's admin rights stripped off them due to he or she was rude towards me or other admins.
Re: Vampire age.
Right now our infobox says "perpetual age", so that would have to change. We used to list both ages (for the main characters, anyway) but I can't remember why we got rid of them. Maybe because people can see the years the characters were born and figure it out for themselves, and because it wouldn't be clear which year we should count up until (Twilight? Breaking Dawn? One of the movies, which take place in different years than the books? etc). At least the "perpetual ages" are clear and unambiguous. -TagAlongPam (talk) 04:47, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
- For my own two cents, I think that the ages should stay as they are, it would be too confusing to having to change every single one and it would cause a huge amount of confusion. So the ideal thing is to leave it has it is and don't change anything, because you'd have to change 100+ characters ages and that would be a pain in the ass to do and for my own point of view, it seems a little silly and I do think what Pam has said above is true and maybe when the time comes when Stephenie Meyer continues the saga we might consider it. But not right now, since the last movie for now was just released on DVD/BluRay. I do think that people should be smart enough to work out there age all by themselves, it would be useless to change it. Weather or not a user as suggested this, like some of the suggestions are to barbaric sometimes like with the tabber thing I suggested on the video pages for the movies, it was acceptable to be on those pages but not other pages. So the age thing is a little to difficult at moment, do you think the same?

Breaking Dawn Part 1 Syn
The movie picks up where the previous movie left off, right when Bella Cullen opens her eyes after her transformation into a vampire. She finds her senses heightened by many times, and savors a moment with her husband, Edward Cullen, and her perfected beauty. She requests to meet her daughter, Renesmee Cullen, but Edward tells her she needs to hunt first. During the hunt, she quickly learns to harness her heightened senses and abilities: when the scent of a human hiker crosses her nose, she immediately attempts to hunt the hiker, until Edward tells her not to. She quickly comes to her senses, runs away from the hiker's scent and feeds off a mountain lion when it tries to attack a deer, much to Edward's amazement.
When they return home, Jacob Black tells Bella that she still looks like herself, though the red eyes are something to get used to. He then uses himself as a test subject to see if she is tame enough to meet her daughter without hurting her. Once she passes the test, she goes on to meet Renesmee, who shows her her first memory of Bella as a human. Bella then finds out that Jacob has imprinted on Renesmee and angrily confronts him about it. Her anger escalates to a nearly dangerous level when Jacob calls her daughter "Nessie" - a nickname derived from the Loch Ness Monster - to the point that she tries to attack him. Seth Clearwater interferes and gets thrown into a tree by Bella herself and she apologizes to him right after. Jacob continues to reason with Bella about the situation and finally succeeds.
At nightfall, Bella's sister-in-law, Alice Cullen takes them to the cottage which will be Bella's, Edward's and Renesmee's home. Bella and Edward spend the night at the cottage, then return to the Cullen house the next morning, where they discuss how Bella will fake her own death to keep her father, Charlie Swan from finding out about her new situation (her being a new vampire and Renesmee's existence). Jacob, upset by the thought of separation from Renesmee, runs to Charlie to show him his ability to transform into a wolf, then explains that Bella had to change in order to get better from her "illness". Charlie goes to confront Bella, who tells him that she can only give limited information. Then he meets Renesmee, the "adopted daughter" of Bella and Edward, but he figures out the truth when he sees her hereditary brown eyes. Emmett Cullen challenges Bella to an arm wrestling match, which she wins due to her newborn superior strength. She remarks that though her time as a human was over, being a vampire had made her more alive; that she was born to be one.
Sam Uley's and Jacob's packs resolve their differences. Renesmee's rapid growth causes worries to the Cullens, who plan to travel to Brazil to learn about the Ticuna legends that may tell them how Renesmee will turn out in the future.
Months later, Irina comes to Forks and misidentifies Renesmee as an "immortal child," a child who has been turned into a vampire when she sees her from a distance. She then travels to Italy to inform the Volturi of this matter, which triggers Alice's vision of their doom. In hopes of resolving the matter peacefully, the Cullens set out to find their friends (the Denali, Egyptian, Irish, Amazon, and Romanian covens, as well as some nomads) from all around the world to stand as witnesses for them and prove to the Volturi that Renesmee is not an immortal child. Meanwhile, Bella finds out that she has the power to block psychic powers, and begins practicing how to use it. The packs are also expanded due to the increasing numbers of vampires near the area.
Bella finds a clue left by Alice, who has left the family with Jasper, and goes to find J. Jenks, a lawyer who has been forging illegal documents for the Cullens for decades. He gives Bella a set of IDs, passports, and driver's license forged for Renesmee and Jacob.
Alistair, one of the witnesses, leaves for his own survival. The Cullens and their allies gather around a bonfire the night before the confrontation and share war-stories. Upon confronting the gathered Cullen witnesses, the Volturi discover that they have been misinformed and immediately execute Irina for her mistake. However, they remain undecided on whether Renesmee should be viewed as a threat to vampires' secret existence. Alice and Jasper return in time to present their "proof" that Renesmee poses no danger, but Aro is determined to destroy the Cullens. Carlisle Cullen attempts to save Alice, but is immediately destroyed by Aro. The rest of the Cullens, Volturi and their respective allies engage in a huge battle, killing Jasper Hale, Seth Clearwater, Leah Clearwater and multiple others while Renesmee escapes with Jacob. Aro personally attacks Bella and Edward after most of his coven was destroyed, which results in his own destruction.
The scene is then brought back to the moment when Alice "shows" Aro her proof, revealing that the entire battle scene was a vision of his demise if he proceeds with his plan to destroy them. The new witnesses, Huilen and her half-vampire nephew, Nahuel, tell their story, revealing that they are actually much like pure vampires, but merely more human. The Volturi then leave in peace at Aro's confirmation that no danger is involved. As they leave, Aro glances back at Alice, then Bella, realizing that he has given up much to save his annihilation. The Cullens and their allies take a moment to rejoice in their victory. The Romanians demand to launch an attack, but no one is willing to follow, prompting their ambition to an end.
As their friends depart, Edward tells Jacob that Renesmee is lucky to have him. He asks if he should start calling Edward "dad" now, but he disagrees immediately. While the four of them (Bella, Edward, Jacob and Renesmee) share a moment together, Alice shows Edward a vision of their future: Renesmee has grown into a fine young woman and is living happily and peacefully with Jacob and their family.
Sometime later, back in the meadow, Bella removes her shield to give Edward access to her thoughts for the first time. She tells him that no one has ever loved anyone as much as she loves him, but he disagrees saying there is one exception. He then asks her to remove her shield again, but she tells him they have a lot of time. Edward then adds 'forever' and Bella agrees.
The movie concludes with Bella and Edward kissing as the scene turns black and white, and then shifts to a page of the Breaking Dawn novel and shows the word forever.
I thought of it as this way!

Colorado regulators: hurdles for SmartGridCity
Xcel: we've proven value, deserve cost recovery
In the matter of cost recovery for Boulder, Colo.'s SmartGridCity (SGC), in which Xcel Energy intends to recover another $16.6 million from ratepayers, the Colorado Public Utility Commission has established a schedule that would seem to reflect the complex nature of this proceeding.
The Colorado PUC has set Aug. 30 for a decision in the matter, but proceedings will begin with a series of deadlines in April, May and June. That timetable allows six months for discovery, arguments, testimony and a decision. You'll find the related documents in this case by going to the Colorado PUC's website and plugging in proceeding number 11A-1001E and hitting "search."
(More background is available in two recent, related columns, "Xcel: SmartGridCity Value Established" and "SmartGridCity: Did Xcel Get Results?")
Regulators last year approved $27.9 million in cost recovery for Xcel and its local subsidiary, Public Service of Colorado (henceforth "Xcel") on a project that ballooned from Xcel's own estimate of $15 million to about $45 million. But regulators withheld $16.6 million over whether Xcel had sufficiently demonstrated that the project was complete and its value demonstrated.
Specifically, the Colorado PUC said in a filing late last week, Xcel must provide convincing answers to a list of criteria by which regulators will assess completeness and value. The standard for full cost recovery will depend on the following criteria:
- Xcel must "summarize how advisory groups are being engaged, identify smart grid investments and how such investments will benefit grid operations and customers;
- Xcel must articulate how customers in the SGC service territory can "make practical use of SGC on their side of the meter through in-home devices and ... the interconnect ability of SGC with those customer devices";
- Xcel must provide details for the future application of SGC findings for operational and customer benefits "sufficient to justify the cost overruns ..."
- Xcel needs to defend its strategic plan for the use of SGC investments.
The Colorado PUC acknowledged that Xcel has completed its application for cost recovery as of Feb. 2, 2012, and that triggered a 120-day cost recovery review, lengthened by regulators for another 90 days because the current cost recovery case affects an ongoing rate case in a different proceeding, hence the Aug. 30 decision deadline.
For its part, Xcel has filed eight exhibits and the testimony of six of its executives, plus a 128-page report by a contractor, MetaVu, titled "SmartGridCity Demonstration Project Evaluation Summary," all of which are intended to answer the regulator concerns spelled out above. (See the earliest exhibit filed in the proceeding.)
According to last week's status report (technically an "interim order") by regulators, Xcel argues that it has:
- Answered regulators' requests for more information, and that "SGC is now fully installed and is an integral part of the distribution system serving the City of Boulder";
- Offered discussion of 68 value propositions and how they affect future implementations;
- Acknowledged that SGC is a "testing platform" and that three pilots—on dynamic pricing, on in-home devices and on electric vehicles (EV)—remain in progress;
- Established a SGC Advisory Council to determine future testing opportunities;
- Established that it is entitled to full cost recovery.
The Colorado PUC responded by articulating the topics to be discussed in the upcoming cost recovery hearings.
Have any SGC benefits been achieved in a cost-effective manner?
What constitutes "completeness" in a pilot or demonstration project such as SGC?
How can typical cost/benefit analyses be applied to a pilot project?
Given that applying a certificate of public convenience and necessity (CPCN) to a demonstration project is "relatively unique," "what sufficiently constitutes the realization of the capabilities of the SGC project?"
So Colorado regulators have articulated the hurdles to full cost recovery and Xcel has argued and will continue to do so that it has cleared those hurdles. My own take is that completing the physical addition of hardware and software to the distribution feeders and residential properties involved in the SGC project is of relatively little value. What would create tangible value are valid, replicable results from those ongoing pilot projects on dynamic pricing, in-home devices and EVs. Until then, nothing of value has been derived. I think Xcel is turning the notion of value on its head by claiming that SmartGridCity was never intended to be more than a test bed for assessing value propositions.
At least now we have a schedule by which to follow how the Colorado PUC will approach the related issues.

This is a joke
I live in Boulder, and I have to say that SGC has made NO practical difference in how my power is used or priced.
I know there are benefits for the infrastructure, but for most residential customers the only thing that changed is that our meters are read remotely. A small number of customers got coerced into the three different pilot pricing plans. But other than one or two demo homes, I don't know of anybody that has the ability to see what their power usage at the appliance level. There's also been no progress in smart charging of electric or plug-in hybrid cars, including serving as backup storage for the grid.
It was never made clear why Xcel had to install an expensive fiber-to-the-curb network to every home in the city. What kind of data rates where they expecting anyway? The idea that Xcel thought it needed fiber speeds to monitor my home gave me the chills. But this network was the source of much of the cost overrun, and if Boulder muncipalizes it will likely go dark.
When Xcel chose Boulder for SGC back in 2008, there was a lot of hoopla. It's turned out to be more worthless promises by Xcel. What's it's shown for SGC in general is that the technology just isn't ready, not cheap, and security concerns are still great. Why Xcel should be compensated by ratepayers for what are basically a lot of bureacratic ticks on a requirements chart is beyond me.

For years, La Grange officials have let delinquent property taxes slide — but not any longer.
City attorney Steve Emery said the city has filed a lawsuit to collect back taxes from 2002 through 2005.
There are 34 properties with delinquent tax bills according to Emery.
The city has already pursued litigation against seven property owners who owe about $2,000 in back taxes.
The city is now moving forward to collect taxes on 27 additional properties totaling $2,539 in back taxes.

A light ribbon is an impenetrable, temporary wall of light generated behind vehicles within the Game Arena, and is often used strategically in games to derez opponents forced to crash into them. Their low height allows nimble vehicles to jump over them, and they can otherwise be avoided by waiting until the ribbon dissipates after a short time or steering clear of them. Light ribbons can also be destroyed by force from high impact collisions or weapons fire.
The light ribbon is the updated version of the Jetwall, and is transparent in its new incarnation, with a refractive index similar to that of water. This transparency therefore gives light ribbons a liquid appearance.They were first used in the original movie TRON. However, in the movie once they were activated the cycle could only move at 90 degrees. But as time progressed the cyles and the ribbon behind it could move like a regular cycle.
