We expose slave masters and people smugglers in suburban Britain.
South Africa's Julius Malema talks to Al Jazeera

MJ Rosenberg has worked on Capitol Hill for various Democratic members of the House and Senate for 15 years. He was also a Clinton political appointee at USAID.
One of the biggest problems with our Middle East policy - and international policy in general - is the idea that the world is made up of good guys and bad guys and that one can determine which is which by nationality.
For better or worse, that isn't true. One can no more deem the Israelis good and the Palestinians bad than draw such distinctions between French and Germans, Serbs and Croats, Japanese and Chinese. It's all a matter of circumstance, of who is on top and who is on the bottom.That is why I don't accept self-righteous attacks on Israel by Palestinians who seem to believe that if the shoe were on the other foot Palestinians would treat Israelis with sweet sympathy. After all, didn't
For better or worse, that isn't true. One can no more deem the Israelis good and the Palestinians bad than draw such distinctions between French and Germans, Serbs and Croats, Japanese and Chinese. It's all a matter of circumstance, of who is on top and who is on the bottom.That is why I don't accept self-righteous attacks on Israel by Palestinians who seem to believe that if the shoe were on the other foot Palestinians would treat Israelis with sweet sympathy. After all, didn't we learn after World War II how quickly victims become victimisers?Congress, of course, chooses not to understand that. With the strong encouragement of its AIPAC donors, Congress treats Palestinians as warmongers even when they are pursuing peace and Israelis as peace-loving even when they reject peace. That is just cynical. As for the people demanding Congress behave that way, they are just ethnic chauvinists who cheer their team on as if it were a baseball game and not a contest that kills.
New resolutionsThis week the Senate unanimously passed an AIPAC-drafted resolution warning the Palestinians of dire consequences if they go to the United Nations to seek recognition of their state.The bill is full of the usual AIPAC boilerplate about Hamas, terrorism, and, by means of contrast, Israel's enthusiastic endorsement of achieving peace through negotiations.The only new thing, which demonstrates a real sense of humour, is the pointed reference to the US $550 million the United States provides to the Palestinians annually, with the suggestion that a half billion in aid should make them heed our wishes.The Israelis, of course, receive six times as much and have essentially told President Obama to drop dead every time he has asked them for a temporary settlement freeze to help him advance negotiations.But it is the $550 million that the resolution is all about. The Senate, urged by AIPAC, is telling Palestinians that if they go to the UN they can forget about any aid from us.US opposition to the Palestinians going to the UN is absurd.
What alternative do the Palestinians have? According to the terms of the Oslo agreement of 1993 (the mutual recognition agreement signed by Yasser Arafat and Yitzhak Rabin), the Palestinians should have had their state by 2000 at the latest.But in 18 years, the Israelis have not yielded a single inch of territory. (They pulled their troops out of Gaza but control its air, land and sea entry points and keep Gaza under blockade.) The number of settlers in the West Bank (the site of the future state) has increased threefold, from 100,000 to well over 300,000. And, as mentioned above, Israel has repeatedly refused President Obama's request to freeze settlement activity for three months in order to facilitate negotiations.Nonetheless, the AIPAC/Senate resolution demands that Palestinians get back to unconditional "direct negotiations" with Israel and stay away from the UN. As for settlements, the resolution says Palestinians should negotiate over the future of the land while Israel is gobbling it up with expanded settlements and more settlers.The Palestinian response: Been there, done that, gained nothing.As the Israelis did in 1947, Palestinians should go to the UN to achieve recognition. Following that, the state of Israel should negotiate a final status agreement with the state of Palestine.
RecognitionThere are those who say that the Palestinians will not succeed at the UN, that the United States will do Israel's bidding and block statehood by using its veto power at the Security Council.That is probably true. Nonetheless, the Palestinian position will be immeasurably strengthened by a broad show of international support. The best evidence of that is how hard Israel is working to prevent a UN vote. If UN action were so insignificant, neither Israel nor its lobby here would be pulling out every stop (like passing this Senate resolution) to scare the Palestinians out of going there.The threat to cut off US aid is a classic case of cutting off our nose to spite our face. The only leverage we have on the Palestinians comes from that aid. If we end it, they will turn for support elsewhere.The elsewhere is Saudi Arabia.In a Washington Post op-ed last month, Prince Turki al Faisal, who was Saudi intelligence chief from 1977 to 2001 and ambassador to the United States from 2004 to 2006, wrote that "the time has come for Palestinians to bypass the United States and Israel and to seek direct international endorsement of statehood at the United Nations." He also says that the United States will pay a price if it blocks statehood:"In September, the kingdom will use its considerable diplomatic might to support the Palestinians in their quest for international recognition. American leaders have long called Israel an 'indispensable' ally. They will soon learn that there are other players in the region - not least the Arab street - who are as, if not more, 'indispensable'. The game of favoritism toward Israel has not proven wise for Washington, and soon it will be shown to be an even greater folly."His conclusion is startling:"We Arabs used to say no to peace, and we got our comeuppance in 1967. In 2002 King Abdullah offered what has become the Arab Peace Initiative. Based on UN Security Council Resolution 242, it calls for an end to the conflict based on land for peace. The Israelis withdraw from all occupied lands, including East Jerusalem, reach a mutually agreed solution to the Palestinian refugees and recognise the Palestinian state. In return, they will get full diplomatic recognition from the Arab world and all the Muslim states, an end to hostilities and normal relations with all these states."Now, it is the Israelis who are saying no. I'd hate to be around when they face their comeuppance.That "comeuppance" is inevitable unless Israel comes to its senses, which most likely requires electing a new government and ignoring the advice of ethnic chauvinists here who are always willing to fight to the last Israeli. I don't know if Prince Turki really would "hate to be around" when Israel is forced to pay the price for the current government's stupid arrogance. I know I would.

Campus-specific Recommendations
The Comprehensive Facilities Master Plan makes specific recommendations for long-term development at each College site. These recommendations are intended to optimize the use of each venue, particularly in ways that can strengthen established individual campus themes.
- Recommendations Regional Map PDF 270KB
Highland Center
The new Highland Center consists of 31,354 GSF, serving 684 FTE in 2010.
Rose Park Center
The new Rose Park Center consists of 8,566 GSF, serving 11 FTE in 2010.
New Center - Northwest
Analysis of projected population growth suggests that the Rose Park area and the northwest quadrant of the Salt Lake Valley are underserved by SLCC. Analysis of projected job growth reinforces this, with employment growth anticipated along major highways and around the airport. Development of a new SLCC location in the northwest quadrant is recommended in the next 10-15 years, or 2018-2023. This should be coordinated with expansion of programs at the Airport Center.
New Center - Southwest
Analysis of projected population growth suggests a significant increase in traditional college-age students in the southwest quadrant by 2023-2028. Development of a new SLCC location in the Herriman/Daybreak area of the southwest quadrant is recommended to serve this population. This location will have a major focus on renewable energy studies and has the potential of being a showcase sustainable campus for SLCC.
Expansion of online and distance education programs will further increase access for students in Salt Lake County and beyond, with minimal need for additional physical facilities. Distance programs account for approximately 11% of 2010 full-time equivalent students (FTEs). Increasing these programs to accommodate 25% of FTEs is considered a conservative goal; online enrollment may significantly exceed this goal within the 20-year planning horizon.
Online and distance education programs currently require physical classroom space, faculty work space, testing and assessment facilities, and server/equipment space; space per FTE is significantly smaller than for traditional programs, and is projected at approximately 30 GSF/FTE. This space factor is anticipated to decrease as technological advances reduce or eliminate the need for certain spaces, such as testing and assessment facilities.

- Title
- From factory fodder to multicultural mediators: a new typology of immigrant work experiences in Australia
- Author(s)
- Bertone, Santina
- Abstract
- Australia has the highest proportion of overseas born immigrants of any Western country, with over 200 language backgrounds. This book examines how the working patterns of immigrant workers have changed through the 1980s to the 21st century in response to globalisation, economic restructuring, industrial relations changes and increasing emphasis on skilled migration. Based on survey data and interviews with immigrants across the occupational spectrum, the book presents a typology for understanding the genesis and nature of modern work patterns from unskilled (factory fodder) through semi skilled (upskilled manual workers) to highly skilled (including multicultural mediators). The book finds that the working patterns and concerns of immigrants continue to differ from those of the native workforce. Issues of exploitation and work intensification, through to more subtle concerns about under-employment and blocked career paths continue to characterise the working lives of Australian immigrant workers. Overall, however, immigrants' occupational status is improving within this rapidly changing economic and structural context.

Comments about Jansport Jansport Air Penny Pack:
I purchased this as a bookbag. I also wanted a second compartment for lunch and gear. It turns out the second compartment functions as a very large pocket-the bottom of which forms the bottom of the pack; it's not reinforced. This pocket-compartment has a different material that is a greyish color and has a "high-tech" feel. There is a laptop sleeve in the main compartment and plenty of zipped pockets and accessory pockets in the second compartment.

An Apology
Jim Burroway
July 7th, 2010
Sexual Minorities Uganda has issued a statement concerning the beheaded gay activist hoax. I've included the statement after the jump. To say that knowing that this web site helped to propagate that hoax is humiliating would be an understatement. We've worked hard at BTB in establishing our credibility, and I believe that a key component of that is also to maintain an atmosphere of transparency and accountability when we get it wrong. Along the way, I've learned that some sources on the Internet are trustworthy, and others are not worth the electricity it takes to power their servers. Until now, I hadn't had the need to pass judgment on Changing Attitude, but I think you can probably guess where I stand now.
For every story we publish, there are countless others that we pass on for many reasons. Some of those reasons include not making it past the "sniff" test, that sense that there's something wrong with it. Sure, I could brag about all of the stories that we rejected because they were bogus, but none of that matters when this story managed to make its way past our imperfect B.S. detectors. The fact that other blogs jumped on this story several hours before we did is also meaningless considering that most of the web sites that picked it up afterwards sourced BTB for their posts. I must, and do, accept full responsibility for that. It's the reward for being a trusted source for LGBT issues; it's also the pitfall to getting it wrong.
This hoax is damaging for many reasons. The least of those concerns is BTB's credibility and my good name. In the larger picture, that is expendable when compared to the real damage it can cause. This hoax can provide ammunition to our opponents who would try to use it as proof that LGBT people are deliberately spreading rumors and falsehoods. It can be used as a "crying wolf" case to dismiss future reports in which LGBT people are really attacked and killed. Anger over labeling a young dead man as "gay" in a country where such labels are an accusation could potentially lead to retaliatory attacks to defend his honor. The hoax's existence could fuel unfounded suspicions over the young man's "real killer." The hoax can be used as an excuse to silence LGBT people, organizations, and news outlets. It can give someone an idea for a copycat crime. It can do so many other damaging things as well, and knowing that I was a part of its spread is something that I am deeply sorry for.
To all those who believed the hoax as much as I did, I offer my profound apology. And that apology goes out especially to the people of Uganda, and principally to Bishop Christopher Senyonjo and to the family and loved ones of the young man whose senseless murder was hijacked for the creation of this hoax.
July 7, 2010
Beheaded Ugandan NOT an LGBT Activist
This statement is in reference to the disturbing news reports that the Ugandan man who was found beheaded identified as Pasikali Kashusbe was a gay-rights activist working as a volunteer with Integrity Uganda.
SMUG nullifies these reports and we are not aware of any LGBTI activist who has been beheaded. However, details of the mutilated body are yet to be revealed by the Ugandan Police.
Speaking to the Chair of Integrity Uganda, Bishop Christopher Ssenyonjo, "I have never worked with anyone who goes by the name Pasikali in my organization. I also did not make any comments as quoted in earlier statements made by Rev. Erich Kasirye, Rev. Erich Kasirye no longer has any legitimate connection to Integrity Uganda and the e-mail address firstname.lastname@example.com is no longer available as a link to the leadership of Integrity Uganda".
SMUG stands in solidarity with Bishop Ssenyonjo, who has worked and supported SMUG and the entire Ugandan LGBTI community for a long period of time.
Integrity Uganda which is a member organization of Sexual Minorities Uganda is a faith-based LGBT organization which gives counseling and guidance to LGBT people.
SMUG disassociates the Ugandan LGBT community from these reports, until we have substantial information.

LONDON -- An Icelandic business executive says a private plane is on standby to transport NSA secrets leaker Edward Snowden from Hong Kong to Iceland.
Olafur Vignir Sigurvinsson said Friday that while he has not spoken directly with Edward Snowden, he has been in touch with a third party representing him. The businessman has connections to the WikiLeaks secret-spilling organization.
But Iceland's government says it has not received an asylum request from Snowden, who has revealed his role in providing secret U.S. National Security Agency documents.
U.S. officials have expressed an interest in prosecuting Snowden.

Can a campy power train work with a Shimano rear hub? If so, what special step do I need to do to make them work?
Can a campy power train work with a Shimano rear hub? If so, what special step do I need to do to make them work?
Opinion on that differ, both between riders and which version you're using. Some have reported acceptable performance straight off when mixing Campy 10 and Shimano 10 once they've found the right chain to use.
One option is to use a device called a shift mate. It looks much like the Travel Agent and it changes the amount of cable pull to get a perfect match.
Another option is to get a custom cassette that use the spacers from one system together with the sprockets from another.
Here's a good site: http://www.ctc.org.uk/DesktopDefault...o%2011-24-2005
Sticking a shimano wheel in a campy setup yields an ok set up. Its not perfect but acceptable for the time being. I would recommend getting a shiftmate though
Shiftmate works fine or the wheels Man. cassette is also a good alternative.. The American Classic Cassette gives you mediocre shifting..
you can use the B-routing method for a 10sp campy shifter with shimano RD and a shimano 9sp cassette. http://www.hubbub.com/articles_ergopower.html
Food for thought: if you aren't dead by 2050, you and your entire family will be within a few years from starvation. Now that is a cruel gift to leave for your offspring. ;)
I tried a Shimano 10sp wheel/cassette with Campy Chorus and it worked OK, but ultimately I went back to my Campy wheel. There was always one gear that it would skip no matter how I adjusted it. I could have all the small cogs work well and the big ones would chatter or skip, or I could have the big cogs work well and the small would chatter. I could even get the middle to work, but then the outside cogs wouldn't. I never tried the Shiftmate as I wanted to be able to use my Campy wheels too. The good thing about the Shimano wheel was how quiet it was. Campy wheels are very noisy.

NFL Draft drought returning for FAU?
Unfortunately this year's NFL Draft has not provided any fodder for FAU fans.
Alfred Morris could be a late round pick, but more likely will become an undrafted free agent. Beyond that it looks bleak.
FIU's T.Y. Hilton got picked in the third round with the 92nd pick, becoming the highest pick for the Kitties.
He did not beat out FAU, though, as TE Rob Housler was the 69th pick last year early in the third round. Not sure when that will be topped. Not anytime soon from what I see on the roster.
Housler making a TD catch in 2010 vs. Arkansas State
After a two-year run of having players drafted, FAU appears back in the slump it was for the first eight years of the program with no players drafted.
That was broken in year 9 when QB Rusty Smith was taken in the sixth round, and last year when Housler was picked.
Acting AD Melissa Dawson said hiring a wo
men's basketball coach before a new AD is hired has made the search a bit tougher.
Candidates are antsy about not only taking a job without knowing who their boss will be, but also not knowing if Dawson will be around once the new head of the department comes in.
But given that the AD search is expected to go into the summer months (I am hearing as late as July), a new coach will be hired.
"I'll get us a good one," Dawson promised.

Bass regs change on Lake Cammack, Lake Holt
Biologists urge anglers to keep more small fish
August 08, 2012 at 9:56 am | Mobile Reader | Print
|Dan Kibler
The N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission says fishermen need to take more 10- to 14-inch largemouth bass out of Lake Cammack and Lake Holt to give fish a better chance to get to this size.
Anglers fishing for largemouth bass at Lake Cammack in Alamance County and Lake Holt in Granville County can now keep up to 10 fish per day with no minimum size limit. But only two bass may be greater than 14 inches.
The previous regulation at Cammack and Holt allowed anglers to harvest five fish 14 inches or larger daily with the exception that two fish could be less than 14 inches. Fisheries biologists proposed eliminating the minimum size limit and increasing the daily creel limit for largemouth bass in these lakes to encourage harvest of fish less than 14 inches.
Harvesting more bass less than 14 inches reduces competition among fish and allows the remaining fish to grow bigger, faster.
Both Lake Cammack and Lake Holt largemouth bass populations are overcrowded, so increasing harvest will reduce competition for bait fish among the remaining bass and allow them to grow larger, said Corey Oakley, a fisheries biologist for the Commission. It will also help maintain a healthier, more-balanced population of largemouth bass.
Angler harvest is the most-effective management tool to enhance a largemouth bass fishery. In fact, most largemouth bass fisheries would benefit from legal harvest. The new size and creel limits at lakes Cammack and Holt are unique because those systems have an overabundance of largemouth bass between 10 and 14 inches.

Christmas tree lots pop up all over region
By: Don Chaddock Telegraph Managing Editor
With the sun shining and Turkey leftovers chilling for their first day in the refrigerator, Bambi's Christmas Tree Land was open for business Friday at Zittel Farms in Folsom. Harold Van Weerdhuizen hails from Washington and runs the tree lot. "This is our first shipment," he said Friday as cars began to trickle into the parking lot and a dozen people milled about the large selection of trees. "We get about 600 trees on a load. With the bigger trees, we get less." He said trees range in size from 4 feet to 20 feet. "The trees are from Oregon," he said. "This is my second year doing this for Bambi, the owner. We're about the only ones going this early." The lot is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. seven days a week. Van Weerdhuizen said their lot has a unique offering. "This is one of the only lots doing silvertips," he said. Lori Almas, of Orangevale, was busy trying to choose a tree with her family. "It's a tradition to come out the day after Thanksgiving to pick out our tree," she said. "We bought from here last year and were really happy with it, so we came back." Brian Anderson, 18, of Folsom is a recent Folsom High School graduate. He was helping cart trees and work the lot on Friday. "I'm doing this for extra money," he said. "I also work at IHOP as a server. This is our first day open." According to Van Weerdhuizen, Zittel tried selling Christmas trees on their own in the past but found it was too much trouble, so they allow Bambi to sell trees.

PC Mark 7 Performance Review
Reviewed by: Indybird
Reviewed on: June 12, 2011
Price: Free - $39.95 and $995 for Pro
Just as Futuremark's 3DMark suite of software tests your computer's 3D graphics capabilities, PCMark is a full PC benchmark based are real-world tasks. Today we have PCMark 7; the latest in the PCMark range. This version contains a series of tests ranging from web browsing to gaming graphics to browsing music. In addition to revamped benchmark set, Futuremark has added a new online service that enables users to "validate, store, share and compare" their benchmark results with other users from all around the world. Much like 3DMark 11, there are 3 versions to choose from; Basic, Advanced and Professional. Basic is is free with unlimited uses, but is limited to only the main benchmark and has limited options for benchmark results. Advanced costs about $30 and will contain all of the benchmarks and online features. Professional Edition, at $995, is aimed at corporate use and adds the more advanced features such as custom testing options, automated benchmarking and priority customer support.
New in PCMark 7 is the list of benchmarks. The tests are now arranged into 7 separate benchmarks that make use of 25 different workloads. These 7 benchmarks target specific areas of computer usage.
Closer Look:
The first test is the PCMark Suite. This measures overall system performance and is the test that will return you an official PCMark score. Here you'll find HD video playback, image manipulation, web browsing, DirectX 9 graphics and Windows Defender, picture and gaming storage performance.
Next is the Lightweight Suite. This, much like the regular PCMark test, measures overall system performance, but is tailored for entry level systems. It includes image manipulation, text editing, web browsing, and picture, music and application storage performance.
The Productivity Suite measures performance scenarios using Internet and office applications. Tests here include text editing, web browsing and Windows Defender and application storage performance.
The Entertainment Suite runs tests that involve your computer's media and gaming capabilities. This test includes video playback & transcoding, multi-tab web browsing, DirectX 9 graphics, a series of DirectX 10 tests, and music and gaming storage performance.
The Creativity Suite covers the major performance scenarios that involve creative imaging and video editing. The workloads included are video transcoding, image manipulation and picture and video storage performance.
The Computation Suite tests the pure computing power of the system. The included workloads are video down scaling, video transcoding and image manipulation.
Lastly, the System storage suite tests the storage performance of the main system drive. This tests the storage performance in Windows Defender, importing pictures, video editing, adding music, starting applications, gaming and media center.
Now with the feature set out of the way let's get some baseline test scores.
PCMark 7 testing provides overall system performance scores from its various benchmarks. The tests conducted are the six primary benchmarks at default settings, while comparisons are made between multiple systems.
Testing Setup:
- Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 955 BE
- Cooling: Noctua NH-U12P
- Motherboard: ASUS M4A89GTD USB3
- Memory: Mushkin Blackline 996782 PC3 12800 2x2GB
- Video Card: XFX HD5870 1GB
- Power Supply: OCZ 700W Modular Power Supply
- Hard Drive: 1 x Seagate 750GB SATA
- Optical Drive: Lite-on DVD-RW SATA
- OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit
- Case: NZXT Phantom
Comparison Setup:
- Processors: Core i7 2600K @ 3.4GHz 100 x 34
- Cooling: Noctua NH-U12P
- Motherboard: ASUS Maximus IV Extreme
- Memory: Mushkin 996805 Redline PC312800 6-8-6-24 1600MHz 4GB
- Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD5870
- Power Supply: Mushkin 1000W Joule Modular power supply
- Hard Drive: 1 x Seagate 1TB SATA
- Optical Drive: Lite-On Blu-Ray
- Case: Cooler Master HAF 932
- OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit
After the simple installation, users are prompted to enter their registration code or continue using the Basic Edition. Running PCMark 7 is as simple as it gets; there's absolutely no options relating to the benchmarks themselves. From the benchmarks tab you choose the test suites you would like to run. Strangely, you cannot create a test with custom workloads. Next is the results tab. From here you can view, load, save and export your results in addition to submitting your results online. The log tab is just that - a log of tests run in the past. On the help tab you'll find the help and support link, along with your version and registration details.
With every new iteration of benchmarking software comes a new scoring scale. The difference in numbers between the Core i7 2600K system and the Phenom X4 955 are about right for stock settings. Using these two very common systems, we are given a basic reference of the scale for comparison in future reviews.
The application itself is very straightforward and not surprisingly, user friendly. Installation and setup do not get in the way of a streamlined benchmarking process. Benchmarking itself is also easier than ever, albeit at the slight cost of customization. There are six primary benchmarks which are fully automated at specific settings. The inclusion of a light-weight benchmark, means that the benchmark won't take unusually long or produce disproportionately low scores on entry-level systems. The cherry on top of PCMark 7, is that the basic version maintains all of the core features of the program, allowing a much larger user-base. Though there was nothing notably wrong with PCMark Vantage, PCMark 7 has improved on the design with a free version that facilitates a larger user-base, a user-friendly interface and an overall streamlined benchmarking process.

May 5, 2016
A bill requiring the federal government to provide treatment for veterans and their family members who developed health problems from being exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune has passed a U.S. Senate committee.
Sens. Kay Hagan and Richard Burr say the Caring for Camp Lejeune Veterans Act was approved by the Veterans Affairs Committee on Wednesday. The two senators co-sponsored the bill requiring the Department of Veterans Affairs to provide health care to those affected.
Burr says the measure gives the country another chance to do the right thing. Hagan says those exposed deserve health care through the VA system.
Health officials think as many as 1 million people may have been exposed to tainted water before the wells were closed more than 20 years ago.

Traveler Comments
Stay was satisfactory. Room was nice. Bed was comfortable. Room included small fridge and microwave which was welcome and a nice touch. Hotel had exercise room (not used) and pool (not used) and appeared to have adequate security. Entry via exterior doors required key card. Hotel does have restaurant which is good because hotel is not close to very much. I stayed there because it was close to family member. Other than its 'isolation', it was quite nice and it is nicely appointed.

Give Peace Prize to Maggie, Not Eurocrats
Boris Johnson, Daily Telegraph
The last time I looked, there were about seven billion people on this planet. There are all sorts of candidates for the Nobel Peace Prize. Across the developing world, you will find gaunt and patient aid workers who have consecrated their lives to ending tribal conflicts. There are bone-nosed eco-warriors who are fighting to save the peoples of the rainforest from destruction. There are women who are struggling for female emancipation in Saudi Arabia. In tyrannies from Uzbekistan to North Korea, there are journalists risking their lives so the truth can be heard. There are good people battling every scourge, from famine to gun-running to piracy to human trafficking.
So we can only wonder what...

WoW guild will throw Ony some bones. Hopefully not ours!
I logged in Monday night (now without football) to my new home on Rexxar to find a busy and active Aftermath guild and we were up to about 15 members online. This surprised me and at the same time made me happy in pants. We were rolling full steam ahead and everyone was busy helping one another get things done. I pitched in too, and off I went to help some lower levels run Blood Furnace (also an achievement my warrior had never gotten) and then we ripped through Hellfire Ramparts.
When people make posts like this it makes me VERY happy:
"I just wanted to thank everyone in the guild. I have really great fun with you guys and this is a great group of people. This guild makes me laugh and i just have an awesome time. I love being in this guild and you guys are great. A lot of people have gone out of their way to help me."
Aftermath is going to run Onyxia tonight at around 8pm server time. That is right. We are taking all our level 50+ people and hitting the ole dragon up. We actually have been farming Ony for the Tier 2 head pieces and some of our 60-61 level folk are wearing them. It is nice to see the old helms still in action. We want to get our druids the moose antlers as well. We actually 6 manned her the other day, but I died horribly in the deep breath, something that I never seemed to do back in the day. I also forgot about her tail swipe and in the ultimate noob move ended up being smacked in to the hatchery. Good times. I hadn't been in so long I had almost forgotten all the little tricks to the raid.
The guild high levels have been going back and helping those in need, the bank tabs are full to the brim with tradeskilled items, and people are getting the gear they want to help them progress further into the 50+ range. Not overlooking the rerollers and new members we have been cruising them along at a steady clip and helping them out when they mention they might need it. Not being able to find groups at low levels is a big pain, and no one wants to struggle along at that stale old world content. However it can still be a blast when you get help and hang out in Ventrilo with guildies and go through these older instances. If you head over to our forums and just look at the screenshots posted yesterday you can see some older instances that I have not stepped foot in since 2005.
As our 80's and high level 70's backtracked to help those in need, I realized that I and my awesome Prot spec'd DPS were not needed so off I went to the old world…err the newer old world: Outlands.
Odd right? Finding myself there I got wrapped up in something I had never done with my human and that was the Isle of Quel'Danas. Since I had only tried these with my undead mage and found them tedious to say the least, I went in with my warrior and just took quest after quest. By the end of the night I had made over 56 gold, 4 bubs of XP, and cleared the achievement for 5 dailies finished. All in all I did 15 dailies last night, and even though they were only rewarding 4 gold a hit, I was still having a blast because for the most part the Isle was EMPTY. I even found enough mineral nodes to increase my mining to 402! Add to that I finished the "explore Hellfire Peninsula" and "explore Terrokar Forest" achievements and I had a pretty damn good night. Add to all this the two dailies I found in Howling Fjord, and I am well on my way to keeping busy for at least an hour each night and having fun while doing it. I was able to bomb boats, take portal readings, bomb people and even fly a plane and shoot down gargoyles. Good stuff!
Ok so reminder tonight guild members and guild members of the future: Onyxia "raid" at 8pm server and lets get that achievement!
A very nice post too bad most people don't understand what the MMO stands for in the MMORPG world. I think most MMO's on the market can be fun if you can do it with people that enjoy the game their playing. Just sucks when the game itself turns bad or doesnt get supported very well ie: (swg). But a game like wow that has been going very strong and keeps getting stronger, caters in alot of ways to this blog that you have written. Any game could be fun if you can find those people that will enjoy it with you. WoW just has the benefit with it's tons of servers and the amount of people playing the game to find these people and enjoy it.

I was in a horrible mood and let it flow over into here, its no excuse, but at least I am willing to say I was wrong.

Publisherís Notes
An Opening View
Lead, Follow or Get Out of the Way
Some of you may be just starting your career in the millwork industry. Some of you may be in the middle stages of your career. Some of you may already have put 40 years of work into the millwork industry. What makes you keep coming back for more? What makes you tick?
Basically, how do you motivate yourself and those around you in your workplace?
If you are just starting out in this industry and you are trying to climb the ladder to success, you already have the motivation. If you are in the middle of your career, you just may be thinking to yourself, ďDo I really want to do this the rest of my life or should I change careers now or not?Ē Most likely, you have different responsibilities now not only in the workplace, but also for your family members, so your decision is going to be a bit harder.
If you have been in this business for 40 years, you are most likely saying to yourself, ďWhat can I do to get out of this business and hit the golf course?Ē
No matter the stage of life weíre in, we all face the daunting task of getting out of bed everyday and facing it. Life is full of daily changes in our personal lives and in the workplace. As our industry goes through change, what are you doing to keep up with the competition? How are you motivating your employees in a down economy?
Asking yourself to make changes is always hard, but asking people around you to make changes is harder. Itís like crossing your arms or your legs the normal way, and then trying to cross them the other way. It feels awkward doesnít it? A simple task such as crossing your arms feels strange, so why would changing work habits feel good?
You need to come up with a way of embracing change and having everyone around you accept
it in order to survive in your environment. Everybody likes a pat on the back, a ďnice jobĒ or ďthanksĒ for going the extra mile to get that order filled and out the door on time. In a time when a pay raise might not be too readily available to give to the employees who deserve one, going back to the basics will do a world of good.
Another idea is simply to include others in the decision-making process. Explain what is going on and gather ideas. Everyone has a brain, and most want to use it in what they do daily. Now, I do agree that there will always be those who oppose change and will not accept it. Those peopleís negative attitudes may give you difficulties in the future. The simple solution for those types: Apply a good ďshock and aweĒ campaign on them!
Obviously, Iím just kidding. I look at it this way: You can lead, you can follow or you can get out of the way!
Make it a great day!

Varicella Vaccination of Healthcare Personnel
Information for Healthcare Providers
The Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), with support from the Hospital Infection Control Practices Advisory Committee (HICPAC), recommends that healthcare institutions ensure that all healthcare personnel have evidence of immunity against varicella. They should receive 2 doses of varicella vaccine given 4 to 8 weeks apart.
For more information, see
- Management of Healthcare Personnel Exposed to Varicella or Herpes Zoster
- Immunization of Health-Care Personnel
Testing for Immunity
Healthcare personnel without evidence of immunity against varicella may get serologic screening before being vaccinated. This is likely to be cost effective since 70% to 90% of adults who do not remember having varicella actually have antibodies in their blood.
ACIP or HICPAC do not recommend that healthcare personnel get tested for immunity to varicella after 2 doses of vaccine. Commercial assays are not sensitive enough in all instances to detect antibodies after vaccination
It is rare for vaccinated people to spread varicella vaccine virus, especially if they do not have rash. Since the varicella vaccine program started, only 8 vaccinated people have been documented as spreading vaccine virus to others. All of these vaccinated people had rash after vaccination. As a result, 9 people, including household members and people in long-term care facilities, got infected with varicella.
There has not been any documented transmission of varicella from vaccinated healthcare personnel.
Work Restrictions
Recently vaccinated healthcare personnel do not require any restriction in their work activities. However, healthcare personnel who develop varicella-like rash after getting vaccinated should stay away from people who do not have evidence of immunity and who are at risk for severe varicella. They should wait until all lesions resolve (crusted over). If they develop lesions that do not crust (macules and papules only), they should wait until no new lesions appear within a 24 hour period.

Video: Game 4 overtime between Sharks and Predators has been utter chaos
Overtime between the Nashville Predators and San Jose Sharks in Game 4 has been, simply put, crazy.
Take, for instance, this goal-mouth scramble around the Predators crease in which Joel Ward couldn't convert on the wrap-around and the sequence turned into a full-on scrum as players for both teams fought desperately to either score or somehow keep the puck out of the net. Somehow, the puck stays out.
The Predators need a win to even the series. The Sharks can put the Predators on the brink of elimination with a win.
Oh, and the controversial video review as the Sharks thought they had the winner, as Joe Pavelski swept the puck into the net after a collision with Pekka Rinne.
Here's an explanation from the NHL Situation Room:
At 7:34 of overtime in the Sharks/Predators game, the Situation Room initiated a review under the terms of a Coach's Challenge to review the "Interference on the Goalkeeper" decision that resulted in a "no goal" call.
After reviewing all available replays and consulting with NHL Hockey Operations staff, the Referee confirmed that San Jose's Joe Pavelski made incidental contact with Nashville goaltender Pekka Rinne before the puck crossed the goal line, preventing Rinne from doing his job in the crease.
Therefore the original call stands – no goal San Jose Sharks.
Cody Eakin plays unlikely hero as Stars even series with Blues thanks to OT win
Needing a win to even the series with the St. Louis Blues, the Dallas Stars didn't get off to the greatest start Thursday.
On a rather embarrassing play in the first period of a crucial Game 4, the Stars were caught on the television feed clearly with six skaters on the ice, but still surrendered a breakaway goal on a stretch pass to a wide open Vladimir Tarasenko — 1-0 Blues. Again, not a great start for the Stars.
Sometimes in hockey, it's apparently not always about how you start but how you finish. The Stars gained strength during the second period on goals from Radek Faksa and Patrick Sharp just 1:09 apart. Early in overtime, Cody Eakin scored his first goal of these playoffs to give the Stars a 3-2 win.
This series is now tied heading back to Dallas for Game 5. For the Blues, it's a missed opportunity to put the high-flying Stars on the brink of elimination.
Eakin snapped a 17-game scoring drought that stretched into late-March of the regular season by going top shelf, short side of Blues goalie Brian Elliott just 2:58 into the extra period.
Jamie Benn and Patrick Sharp each had two-point nights for Dallas, assisting on the game winning goal.
In a series billed as Sidney Crosby vs. Alex Ovechkin, the supporting cast is taking over for Penguins, Capitals
PITTSBURGH — The well-traveled defenseman filling in for his team's most indispensable player scored the first goal. The seemingly ageless center closing in on his 40th birthday scored the second. And the winger who makes a living trying to create space for Pittsburgh captain Sidney Crosby delivered the overtime winner that brought the Penguins within one victory of a spot in the Eastern Conference finals.
Sure, the stars might be out in the NHL's marquee playoff matchup. They're just not the ones shining.
Pittsburgh's 3-2 thriller over top-seeded Washington in Game 4 on Wednesday night did more than give the Penguins a commanding 3-1 lead in the best-of-seven series. It also highlighted the depth the club has spent months cultivating around Crosby, Evgeni Malkin and Kris Letang.
Trevor Daley skated more than 28 minutes and picked up his first postseason goal in more than two years while serving the ironman role typically filled by Letang, serving a one-game suspension for an illegal hit in Game 3. Matt Cullen, who at 39 has openly wondered if he wants to return in the fall, slipped behind the Washington defense to give the Penguins a 2-1 lead. Patric Hornqvist, who spends most of time suction-cupped to a spot in front of the opposing goaltender, pounced on a loose puck 2:34 into overtime and slammed it by Braden Holtby to end Pittsburgh's eight-game playoff losing streak in games pushed beyond regulation.
Related: Trevor Daley is 'in a good place' now
Heady territory for guys considered mere supporting players when the second-ever playoff showdown between Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin began last week.
"I think there's a great chemistry amongst the team that we have right now," Penguins coach Mike Sullivan said. "To see these guys play as hard as they do for one another as their coaches, it's a thrill."
Washington coach Barry Trotz tried to downplay the hype between two of the NHL's most dynamic players in the run-up to Game 1, stressing there were much more to the longtime rivals than their franchise cornerstones.
Trotz was more right than he knew, only it's Pittsburgh's role players who have pushed the Presidents' Trophy winners to the brink of elimination. Cullen's two points during the series equal Malkin's output. Hornqvist has three points through four games, two more than Crosby, though the two-time MVP occupied Holtby's attention just long enough that the goaltender couldn't get in proper position to stop the Game 4 winner.
"(Hornqvist) does a lot of the thankless things that help this team be successful," Sullivan said. "To see him get rewarded in overtime for us is a thrill."
The Capitals powered their way to the NHL's best record behind spectacular goaltending from Holtby, a league-leading 50 goals from Ovechkin and a potent power play. All three have taken a significant step back against Pittsburgh. Penguins rookie Matt Murray has been every bit Holtby's equal, Ovechkin's 21 shots have produced a single goal and Washington is just 1 for 12 with the man advantage.
Though John Carlson, Jay Beagle and Marcus Johansson have tried to pick up the slack, the Capitals are now on the verge of succumbing to an all too familiar result in the spring.
Trotz pointed to Letang's absence in Game 4 as an opportunity Washington needed to exploit. Instead, Daley patrolled the blue line and quarterbacked the power play in Letang's stead while Justin Schultz – playing for the first time in more than two weeks – was solid in his return.
"The other guys were good, too," Backstrom said. "I feel like they're a good team. It's not going to be easy."
Especially playing a club getting contributions from all over, a far cry from the top-heavy roster that relied so heavily – usually too heavily – on Crosby and Malkin for production during recent postseason swoons.
It's symbolic of the way Penguins general manager Jim Rutherford rebuilt Pittsburgh since taking over in the summer of 2014 that neither Daley nor Schultz were around when the season began. Then again, they're hardly alone. Only a handful of players remain from the group that skated off the ice following a Game 7 loss to New York in the second round two years ago, a series the Penguins had led 3-1.
That setback is still fresh in the mind of Crosby and the others who remain. At the same time, most of the guys who surround Crosby in the dressing room won't carry that baggage into Game 5 on Saturday night in Washington. This is, in many ways, feels like a fresh start filled with fresh faces, even if some are less well-known than others.
"We've always found ways to get the job done," Daley said. "That's what this team's been all about. We always found ways to get it done. We started it awhile ago and it's continuing on."
Report: Ducks interested in Travis Green for vacant head coaching job
Travis Green seems to be gaining increased attention for available head coaching jobs in the NHL, and the Anaheim Ducks, who fired Bruce Boudreau after a first-round playoff loss, are reportedly interested.
That's according to a report from Elliotte Friedman during Thursday's broadcast of Game 4 between the St. Louis Blues and Dallas Stars.
Green helped guide the Utica Comets, AHL affiliate of the Vancouver Canucks, to an appearance in the Calder Cup final a year ago. The Comets were, however, eliminated in the opening round of the post-season this year.
"I think I'm ready," Green, who has spent the last three seasons in Utica, said recently. "Every job in the NHL is worth its weight in gold, and I would have 100 per cent interest at options with every team in the league. You hope all your qualities are enticing for one of them."

The Evolving Nature of Asian Regional Architecture: Views from the Philippines
As part of its Asian Perspective Series, on November 8, 2011, The Asia Foundation presented "The Evolving Nature of Asian Regional Architecture: Views from ASEAN." As a gradual emergence in Asia of multilateral architecture based on increasingly shared norms about interstate relations and security has emerged, Asians have begun to discuss the idea of building an "East Asia Community." Speakers from Burma, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Thailand addressed what they believe are the challenges and opportunities to strengthening regional architecture in the coming years. Dr. Aileen San-Pablo Baviera, Professor of Asian Studies at the University of the Philippines, and Editor-in-Chief of "Asian Politics and Policy," provided the views from the Philippines.

The unexpected absence of "Sunday Night Football" and little first-run programming on the major broadcast networks helped make ESPN's "Monday Night Football" last week's most-watched prime-time program.
The Chicago Bears 40-14 victory over the Minnesota Vikings Dec. 20 averaged 17.09 million viewers, 4.84 million than the week's most-watched broadcast program, a rerun of the CBS drama "NCIS," which averaged 12.25 million, according to live-plus-same day viewing figures released Tuesday by The Nielsen Co.
The game was the third most-watched cable television program in 2010 and ninth most-watched all time, outside of breaking news coverage.
It is unlikely that "Monday Night Football" would have been the week's most-watched game if NBC's "Sunday Night Football" game between the Philadelphia Eagles and Minnesota Vikings had not been postponed because of snow. All but one of this season's 15 "Sunday Night Football" games have surpassed the average of 17.09 million viewers.
In a week with a combined 18 hours of first-run prime-time programming on the five major broadcast networks, CBS was the most-watched network for the 13th time in the season's 14 weeks, averaging 7.12 million viewers for its prime-time programming between Dec. 20 and Sunday.
As it has for each week of the season, CBS had the most-watched scripted series, the most-watched half-hour comedy and the most-watched new series.
Fox, whose 8 1/2 hours of original programming were the most among the five major broadcast networks, was second for the week, averaging 5.23 million viewers.
Fox was aided by a 31-minute run-over of its afternoon NFL coverage, which averaged 23.6 million viewers, but is not considered a separate program under Nielsen rules.
The 29-minute NFL postgame show, "The OT" which followed, averaged 11.86 million viewers, the second most for the week among programs on the five major broadcast networks.
Fox's next most-watched show was a rerun of "The Simpsons" that followed, 20th among programs on the five major broadcast networks, averaging 6.45 million viewers.
ABC, which like CBS aired two hours of original programming, was third for the week, averaging 4.94 million viewers. Its most-watched program was a rebroadcast of the 2000 film, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," which was 28th overall, averaging 6.01 million viewers.
NBC, which aired 5 1/2 hours of original programming, was fourth, averaging 4.73 million viewers. Its most-watched program was the finale of "The Sing-Off," which was sixth, averaging 8.61 million viewers.
The CW, whose entire 10-hour schedule consisted of reruns, was fifth as usual, averaging 1.06 million viewers. Its most-watched program was "Nikita," which averaged 1.38 million viewers to finish 77th among the programs on the five major broadcast networks.
Both of the week's premieres finished third in their time slots among major broadcast network competition Dec. 20.
The Fox Broadcasting game show "Million Dollar Money Drop" averaged 5.31 million viewers from 8-9 p.m., trailing the finale of the NBC singing competition "The Sing-Off" and reruns of the CBS comedies "How I Met Your Mother" and "Rules of Engagement." It finished 38th among the week's programs on the major broadcast networks.
The NBC comedy "Perfect Couples" averaged 3.57 million viewers, finishing third in the 10-10:30 p.m. time slot behind reruns of CBS' "Hawaii Five-0" and ABC's "Castle," and 61st for the week among programs on the major broadcast networks.
Fox finished first among viewers ages 18-49, the group it, ABC and NBC target and advertisers pay more for because it watches less television and is harder to reach. The football runover and "The OT" were the week's most-watched major network programs among the group, with "The Simpsons" finishing fourth behind "The Sing-Off."
As usual, Univision was the most-watched Spanish-language network, averaging 3.04 million viewers for its prime-time programming. Telemundo was second, averaging 940,000, followed by TeleFutura, which averaged 890,000, and Azteca America, and Estrella TV, which both averaged 200,000.
The week's most-watched Spanish-language prime-time program was the Monday episode of the Univision telenovela "Soy tu Duena," which averaged 6.69 million viewers, which would have put it 19th among the programs on the five major English-language networks.
Figures were not immediately available for cable television programs in addition to "Monday Night Football" or the network nightly newscasts.

The recession has impacted how individuals view work and the workplace. Though it may appear little has changed as employees who've managed to keep their jobs hunker down, try not to get noticed and wait things out, the workplace continues to evolve as new trends emerge. Leaders must proactively address these trends to ensure their organizations evolve toward growth.
Here are a few workplace trends talent leaders can expect to see in the upcoming year:
Movement from management principles to leadership values. Employees are savvy, and although they have been relatively quiet waiting for things to return to normal from the recession, they've been carefully watching. Cookie-cutter, old-school or command-and-control approaches to managing people are becoming less effective; employees can determine when an organization's walk doesn't fit the talk, and they are getting impatient working for managers who are less self-aware than they are. Instead, individuals today must lead with values such as collaboration and shared purpose. By engaging the workforce in a compelling shared vision and engaging their hearts as well as their minds, leaders can reap the best results.
A focus on workplace culture as a means to grow the business. Some of the best organizations — including Whole Foods, Panera, SAS and Google — spend little on marketing, yet put time, energy and resources into making sure they have a sustainable culture. When a company is perceived to be one that really cares about its employees, it can prove to be a great PR or branding opportunity. Customers patronize businesses that care about their employees, and will even pay more if they believe their values are shared by the company.
Diversity makes a comeback. Today organizations have a renewed interest in diversity, and it has to do with the customer and shareholders. From a customer relations perspective, companies need people inside their organizations who are representative of the people they are trying to reach outside. Recent research from McKinsey and ION shows a correlation between having more women on corporate boards of directors and higher company earnings. And in light of recent legislation mandating greater board diversity in Europe, many American companies are looking to get ahead of the curve. Diversity may become the new "green" or "sustainable."
Rise of virtual work relationships. We are all aware of the downside of instant access technology gadgets that make employees feel on call 24/7, but the upside is that technology as well as social media platforms such as LinkedIn and Facebook make it easier to maintain relationships with current and past co-workers. This enables greater amounts of information and expertise to be shared and leveraged, and employees are becoming known for who they know and can access, rather than how much time they log in the office. This will be particularly important as aging baby boomers stay in the workforce longer than planned, but demand more flexibility in where, when and how they work.
Organizations are getting flatter. In a similar vein, instant access technology means employees are not as dependent on the hierarchies of the past for information. Corporate downsizings have already winnowed down many layers of management. Employees realize they need their co-workers to be successful, but they are less interested in where people sit in the organization than in what they know. With these developments, managers can expect a new definition of teamwork. It used to be about "playing your positions," but the new mindset is that everyone chips in and does what is needed.

Frost (WIP) (Symphonic\Melodic Metal) [GP5, GP4, MIDI] [C4C]
1 Attachment(s)
Hey guys. Been a while since I posted anything on Tabs and Chords. Anyway, I really like where this song is going. Its a work in progress, but its still a good 3 minutes long. The final version will probably be much longer. I decided to take the symphonic road, but its still mostly guitar work. Anyway, enjoy. Constructive criticism is welcome and I'll C4C if you post a link.

First of all: good drums.
Okay, I don't have time, I have to go to sleep so I'll check back later.
But I worked on your intro.
You started off with a nice melody in the first bar then you started repeating it for 18 bars. My ears expected a continuation of the melody and it was not pleasant hearing a repetition.
Furthermore every other instrument moves downwards then back upwards while synth 1 (the melody) keeps playing the same, creating a not very pleasant dissonance (at least for my ears).
So I changed Synth 1, take a look at it. If you don't like it, scrap it.
Also: I see that right guitar plays a third compared to the left guitar which is okay if you want to do that, it's a matter of taste. But G is very dissonant here, use G# (I already did that, check it). You're playing in F# minor and G is a chromatic sound here.
This is it so far, I'll check back later.
It was meant to be kind of a starting point, where I developed the other parts from there. I didn't really want itself to progress that much. But I like what you're doing. I might consider that. Thanks for the crit!
Good job, the drumming is pretty cool, the riffing is also really good and the keyboards really give a good atmosphere. Can't wait to see the final version! C4C? http://www.ultimate-guitar.com/foru...d.php?t=1296017
I enjoy this immensely.
the melody at 35 needs to be more ... showcased. You know? brought to the front of the wall of sound you build.
the constant powerchords can get boring, but vocals would fix that.
change at 51 is a bit abrupt for this song.
after that, you should have some REALLY quiet strings behind...oh wait. there they are.
Same Old Stuff: It really is.
haha. i like your construction site. Currently it sounds like a trainwreck. lol
I think the intro was the most impressive part so far.
Fix your transitions, and add a bit more sustinence where needed. This IS symphonic metal after all. You've got an orchestra, use it :P
Mind checking out mine?
I left you two nice, fresh crits on your songs.
I guess the symphonic metal part is a bit of an overstatement. It is meant as an atmospheric background. But I'll try harder to incorporate that, but I don't currently have a (working) keyboard. Its kinda hard for me cause I write it on my guitar.
About the solo, I know it sucks right now. I should have removed it before posting the song. I think I'll scrap it completely. I'll write a better solo once I final decide to replace the 1st string on my guitar :bonk:.
Jeez man, everything you play is broken, i feel for ya lol.
And i realiza now that trainwreck was a little harsh. my guitar pro messed up when it got there and caused every note to sustain.
Thus train wreck.
...I gave it a twice over, and it does sound like a decent, albeit slightly cliche'd pre-solo.
I say keep it, and have a Howling string section backing it up.
