Senator Gravel's position on Iraq remains clear and consistent: to commence an immediate and orderly withdrawal of all U.S. troops that will have them home within 120 days. The sooner U.S. troops are withdrawn, the sooner we can pursue aggressive diplomacy to bring an end to the civil war that currently consumes Iraq. Senator Gravel seeks to work with neighboring countries to lead a collective effort to bring peace to Iraq.
One of the leading opponents of the Vietnam War, Senator Gravel was one of the first current or former elected officials to publicly oppose the planned invasion of Iraq in 2002. He appeared on MSNBC prior to the invasion insisting that intelligence showed that there were indeed no weapons of mass destruction, that Iraq posed no threat to the United States and that invading Iraq was against America's national interests and would result in a disaster of epic proportions for both the United States and the Iraqi people.
Today, more than four years into the invasion, the death toll of U.S. troops has climbed over 3,300 with over 50,000 more permanently maimed, some having lost limbs, others their sight. Tens of thousands more are afflicted with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and urgently need psychological care. The Iraqi civilian death toll nears three-quarters of a million, and still there remains no end in sight to the bloodshed.
As President, Senator Gravel will call for a U.S. corporate withdrawal from Iraq and hand over reconstruction contracts to Iraqi businesses which will empower Iraqi nationals to reconstruct their own country.
Mike fully supports the National Initiative for Democracy. The NI4D is a way to bring legislative power back to the people. In many states, citizens can put measures on the ballot and Mike believes as citizens of the United States we should all have that power.
Senator Gravel opposes a military confrontation with Iran and Syria and advocates a diplomatic solution to the current situation.
Senator Gravel believes that global climate change is a matter of national security and survivability of the planet. As President, he will act swiftly to reduce America's carbon footprint in the world by initiating legislation to tax carbon at the source and cap carbon emissions. He is also committed to leading the fight against global deforestation, which today is second only to the energy sector as a source of greenhouses gases.
However, any legislation will have little impact on the global environment if we do not work together with other global polluters. China, India and under-dveloped nations all work together fighting climate change can only be effective if it is a collective global effort. As President, Senator Gravel will see that the U.S. launches and leads a massive global scientific effort, integrating the world's scientific and engineering community, to end energy dependence on oil and integrate the world's scientific community in this task.
Senator Gravel's Progressive Fair Tax proposal calls for eliminating the IRS and the income tax and replacing it with a national sales tax on new products and services. To compensate for the tax on necessities, such as food, lodging, transportation and clothing, there would be a "rebate" to reimburse taxpayers. This would be paid in a monthly check from the government to all citizens. The focus on taxing new goods would also help tackle the global climate change problem.
Senator Gravel advocates a universal healthcare system that provides equal medical services to all citizens, paid for by a retail sales tax (a portion of the Progressive Fair tax). Citizens would pay nothing for health benefits.
Senator Mike Gravel supports a woman's right to decide if and when to have children. He also supports a woman's right to make the difficult decision about abortion without interference by government authorities. Comprehensive, age-appropriate sex education, including accurate information about contraception, can always be provided in order to reduce the number of unintended pregnancies and abortions. Parity in health insurance and access to specialized family health care services, including family planning education, would also benefit the health and welfare of infants and children, who need and deserve to be wanted and loved.
Senator Gravel favors protecting our borders and monitoring the flow of immigrants into our country. He also favors a guest worker program and setting up naturalization procedures that would fairly bring immigrants into legal status. America must address the root cause of illegal immigration.
Any discussion of immigration must include NAFTA and the concept of "free trade." The North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) has been a disaster for the working class of both the U.S. and Mexico and a boon to the international corporate interests. A study by the Economic Policy Institute found that over 1 million U.S. jobs were lost as a result of NAFTA, a third of them manufacturing jobs. In Mexico, 1.3 million farm workers lost their jobs in the same period. This has led to a wave of immigrants looking for work in the U.S. Reforming unfair trade policies spawned by measures like NAFTA will stimulate job growth on both sides of the border.
Senator Gravel supports same-sex marriage and opposes the Defense of Marriage Act. He supports expanding hate-crime legislation and opposes laws that allow discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or one's gender identity or expression. Senator Gravel strongly opposes the military's "Don't Ask Don't Tell" legislation on the grounds that it is unconstitutional, as it restricts the rights of gay Americans. He opposes any state or national constitutional amendment that restricts the rights of the gay community.
Access to public education is a bedrock American value. Why is it then that the United States ranks 49th in literacy and that an estimated 30% of our students don't graduate from high school? Investing in education provides a pathway to a thriving national economy, to individual and family economic opportunity, and to the reduction of poverty. A successful education system requires the commitment of families, the community, and government. It's time to re-order our national budget priorities in order to improve the American education system.
Parent education and access to preschool programs such as Head Start need to be expanded so that children from lowincome families are equally ready to benefit from elementary school. Universal pre-kindergarten would also enhance readiness. Encouraging our students to be the best they can be will require flexibility from the federal and state governments, within school systems, and from groups with a stake in educational success. Flexibility may mean extended school days and summer learning opportunities or extended school years. It may mean online and broadcast courses to provide access to highly qualified teachers. It may mean charter schools to address the needs of local communities, smaller classes, enrichment programs for students at risk, and vocational options.
One thing we know for sure: No Child Left Behind has left too many children behind. It needs to be reformed and adequately funded. It needs to acknowledge the need for a fuller curriculum that encourages critical thinking—not just math and science test-taking. A high school diploma should be the minimum goal for all students; without it, our children will be condemned to a substandard economic existence.
The War on Drugs has been a failure. It is time to end prohibition and start treating addiction as a public health problem. This has ravaged our inner cities, and we are losing an entire generation of men and women to prisons. We must regulate hard drugs for the purpose of treating addicts, which would emphasize rehabilitation and prevention over incarceration. We must decriminalize minor drug offenses and increase the availability and visibility of substance abuse treatment in our communities as well as in jails and prisons. The United States incarcerates more people and at a higher rate than any other industrialized nation in the world. Some 2.3 million Americans are now behind bars. This tragedy must end.
Net Neutrality aims to keep the Internet free from large companies, which are trying to limit the number of web sites their customers can view and the speed at which they can view them. Senator Gravel guarantees a free and open Internet with unlimited access to all sites. He will do this by supporting legislation and regulation that keeps you in control of your Internet usage and promotes free speech.
Senator Gravel is adamantly opposed to torture, indefinite detention, and the deprivation of lawyers/speedy trials. He opposes the Military Commissions Act, flagrant ignorance of the Geneva convention, and Guantanamo.

Resources to Help Pay Vet Bills
House Rabbit Society cannot provide funds to help owners who can't afford to pay their veterinary bills.
One way to ensure that you won't be caught without the funds to pay for your rabbit's health care is to purchase a pet health insurance policy. There are a number of companies which offer these policies for individual pets and for homes with multiple pets. You'll need to find a company that insures "exotics" like rabbits such as VPI Pet Insurance.
Ask your veterinarian to submit an assistance request to the American Animal Hospital Association's (AAHA) "Helping Pets Fund." In order to qualify, your animal hospital must be AAHA accredited. To learn more about the program visit the AAHA website. To find an AAHA accredited hospital in your area, search online at Pets911.com.
Check with veterinary schools in your state to see if they offer discount services to the public. You can find a list of veterinary schools in the Education section of the American Veterinary Medical Association's website.
Contacting your local municipal animal shelter or humane society is another way to see if there are low cost services in your area.
Care Credit is another option. It allows clients to finance veterinary (and other medical) care at offices which are members; this plan allows the client to charge their bill and make payments to Care Credit. If the bill is paid in full by a pre-determined time, there is no interest charged. This can be incredibly helpful and more and more vets are signing up for the program.
You can also fundraise for yourself through a website called PetChance.org. It's a crowd funding website that allows people to raise funds for veterinary care for their own pets. Find it here.
Following is a list of organizations which maybe able to help owners with veterinarian bills. HRS cannot vouch for these organizations, nor can we guarantee that they will help you. The content of these sites are maintained by those organizations offering information on their sites. You need to contact them if there are discrepancies on their websites.
- IMOM Inc.
- Bunnies in Need
- The Pet Fund
- United Animal Nations Lifeline Fund
- Angels for Animals
- Brown Dog Foundation
- The Perseus Foundation
- Diabetic Pets Fund
- The Mosby Foundation
- AAHA Helping Pets Fund
- Handicapped Pets
Banfield Charitable Trust also has a huge list of resources on their website, which includes national resources and state-specific ones. Please check out their list here. They also offer veterinary grants, as well as other assistance to pet owners who are struggling to care for their pets. Find their resources here.

Eternal Demon
Laura Wright
May 2013, Paranormal Romance
Signet, $7.99, 384 pages, Amazon ASIN 045123975XPart of a series
Most paranormals these days are a part of a series. That makes this job particularly difficult. The books you need to read that you are thrust into the middle of a series sometimes means you don't go into the story with all the background information you need. In the case of Eternal Demon, that meant that while the Romance was good, the greater story arc was a bit of a flop for me.
When his worst enemy, who also happens to be his adopted father, steals his son, Erion knows that there is nothing he wont do to get Ladd back. Kidnapping his fathers bride to be seems like an easy fix. He kidnaps the bride and then will exchange her for his son. But the female is unlike anything that Erion has ever seen. Not only does a part of her call out to a part of him, she is the most beautiful female he has ever seen. Yes, she may have eaten one of his guards, but she had good reason. And when she goes into heat, the only thing that holds Erion back is knowing that if he doesnt return the bride in perfect condition, his son will be in even greater danger.
Hellen whose name has Hell in it for a reason has been promised to a cruel vampire. But she is willing to marry him at her fathers orders in order to protect her sisters. She knows that her father will follow through on his threats to hurt them. He is the Devil, after all. She may not love Cruen, but the way that Hellen looks at it, she will never love anyone else either and one male is the same as the next. How hard can it be to spread her legs? Of course, there is the fact that after only five minutes on the surface she ends up kidnapped, she goes into heat from not having her special potion to prevent it, and she ends up feeling terrible that the crazy vampire mutant lost his son, but Hellen isnt one to give up. Returning to Hell seems her best option. When Hellen and Erion return to Hell to protect Ladd from her fathers cruelties, they discover that the worst is yet to come. He guesses their feelings for one another and they soon become the objects of a cruel torture themselves.
If I were to take Erion and Hellen as a couple and just look at their story, this book is probably in the A range. Hellen is snarky and refreshing. Her response when Erion asks why she ate his guard? She was hungry, ok? Sure there was a lot more to it (he tried to sexually harass her) but to her the material point really was that she was hungry. And I liked the banter they shared. Snarky Hellen was just what the tortured and uptight Erion seemed to need to let his own inner devil (literally) free. The trust they built together was based on the harsh reality that neither had anyone else that they could trust and that made their romance very touching and real. I really enjoyed their story. As Erion becomes a father and a mate, both he and Hellen have a journey of growth that is fun, romantic, passionate, and exciting.
Most paranormal series these days build one upon each other in a greater story arc, but it is still easy to pick one up early in the series (this book is the fifth in the Mark of the Vampire series) and still figure out what is going on. As much as I loved Erion and Hellens story, the greater story was very confusing. Some of that could have been eliminated with a glossary. Terms, like veanna, paven, balas, swell, were off-putting. Though it was clear that veanna meant some sort of female, it was unclear if it was also another term for a mate. Does it also refer to the breed of the female? Though it seemed to, I was left completely uncertain and that meant I had trouble understanding the secondary characters and there were a lot of them. There was a lot of genetics involved in the characters, as well Erion was a half breed but his twin was somehow a pureblood. I am sure that a fan will understand how that came to be, but for me, I just kept thinking - huh? I know it has something to do with Cruen and some genetic experiments that he performed, but that was the extent of what I was able to piece together. Too many rules, too many plots, too many intrigues and I feel like I need a flowchart to keep track!
For me, I dont like being so unaware of the rest of the story. While Erion and Hellen were a great couple, the series as a whole was a bit of a flop for me. Though I can recommend this book for the good couple it presents, I think that reading the others in the series first might bring the enjoyment up to a whole other level and if you can, I would recommend that first.

Background and Discussion
5/8" Type X gypsum wallboard, 5/8" in thickness, is currently manufactured in accordance with ASTM Standard C 1396. One section of ASTM C 1396 requiresType X gypsum wallboard to meet specific requirements when tested using the test method defined in an ASTM Standard, the E 119 test, Standard Test Method for Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials. Additionally, all gypsum wallboard manufacturers in the United States subscribe to an independent third-party certification and labeling service such as UL to ensure product consistency and quality. ASTM E 119 was initially published in 1918 (as ASTM C 19) and has been used continuously since then as the principal method to test the fire-resistance of construction assemblies/systems. (Similar protocols from other standards groups or laboratories were developed later and are used in some cases.) Refinements have been made in the standard since 1918; however, several of its test criteria, including the conditions required to "pass" an individual fire test, have remained essentially unchanged.
The test method described in the ASTM E 119 standard evaluates (in terms of endurance time) "the ability of an assembly/system to contain a fire or to retain its structural integrity, or both, during the test conditions imposed by the standard." By the standard's own definition, ASTM E 119 does not assess individual materials or products for their fire-resistance characteristics. ASTM E 119 does, however, generate results that can be used to evaluate the general fire resistance of assemblies/systems made up of multiple components, such as walls, columns, slabs, and floor- and roof-ceiling systems under laboratory conditions.
The ASTM E 119 standard does not contain specific details for construction of the test furnace. Since test furnaces are subject to variation due to individual characteristics of construction and design, including ventilation, atmospheric conditions, and general thermal tendencies, test results are typically not fully repeatable or reproducible from one laboratory to another. Test results attained in an E 119 test are not precise predictors of future performance. Additionally, differences in assembly/system components and construction methods, the design and control features of individual furnaces, and other variables regarding the testing regimen, can cause wide fluctuations in ASTM E 119 test results. A fire test, therefore, is a snapshot of a single assembly/system at a given time that includes the measurement of the performance of a specific assembly/system, composed of specific materials, constructed in a specific test furnace, on a specific day. This simply means that for a "one-hour fire rating" of a gypsum board assembly/system, all requirements of an ASTM E 119 test were successfully met in a testing laboratory furnace for at least 59 minutes and 30 seconds for that specific assembly/system and with those specific components of the assembly/system.
The ASTM E 119 test method does not incorporate all dynamics essential for fire hazard analysis or fire risk assessment of the assemblies/systems under conditions in an actual fire situation. The results of an ASTM E 119 test, therefore, should be regarded as one component among a variety of factors used to assess the potential of a system to perform as part of a structure.
Model building codes reference the ASTM E 119 standard test method (or one of its closely allied counterparts). Gypsum board systems are tested based on the requirements of the ASTM E 119 standard. Referencing the same test method(s) by the building codes facilitates the descriptions and comparisons of fire resistance ratings of assemblies/systems that have been objectively evaluated. Numerical fire resistance ratings created by ASTM E 119 tests may be considered as benchmarks for comparison purposes. The higher the numerical rating (i.e., one, two, three, or four hour(s)), the longer the assembly's/system's comparative endurance. The hourly fire resistance ratings found in commercial and residential building codes that refer to an ASTM E 119 test do not imply that a specific assembly/system will remain intact for the prescribed time of the hourly rating in an actual fire situation. Fire resistance classifications are based on results of tests conducted on assemblies/systems created with specific materials and built in a specified manner; therefore, variations from the test conditions or the construction specifications (including, but not limited to, the type and size of materials and the method of construction) will affect the results of fire tests. Because fire exposure conditions vary with changes in a wide variety of factors, including the amount, nature, and distribution of available fuel; ventilation; and the size, configuration, and other characteristics of the compartment, the test method contained in the ASTM E 119 standard should not be considered to be representative of all fire conditions. Fire resistance ratings created through use of the ASTM E 119 test method reflect a relative measure of comparative assembly's/system's performance under specific fire test conditions. ASTM E 119 test results should not be construed as having determined performance of an assembly/system under different conditions.
To maintain industry-wide quality assurance standards for 5/8"Type X gypsum wallboard, the Gypsum Association requires that all member companies relying on the generic assemblies/systems contained in the Gypsum Association's Fire Resistance Design Manual subscribe to an on-going, third-party, in-plant product inspection and labeling service. This objective certification and labeling process ensures that manufacturers continue to manufacture the same quality of product as that originally tested. For more information on Underwriters Laboratories testing, certification, follow-up, and labeling procedures, visit its Web site at http://www.ul.com.
PLEASE NOTE: There are systems that have third-party-approved ratings for fire resistance which may utilize gypsum wallboard other than Type X or which may use more than one layer of Type X along with other materials. These ratings can vary from 30 minutes to 4 hours, and like the one-hour rating utilizing 5/8" Type X gypsum wallboard are based upon standard ASTM test methods for determining system fire resistance. The third party approvals for such other systems, like the one-hour systems using Type X gypsum wallboard, may be based upon full-scale ASTM fire tests, small-scale fire tests, or engineering studies and evaluations. While this article on the subject of Fire and Safety Information deals expressly with 5/8" Type X gypsum wallboard, the principles discussed may also be relied upon to help understand the meaning of the fire resistance ratings of these other systems.

Another Marvel-ous weekend for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as Guardians of the Galaxy blast away the competition with $94 million, the biggest August debut since 2007's The Bourne Ultimatum, Box Office Mojo reports.
Chris Pratt (Peter Quill/Star-Lord), Zoe Saldana (Gamora), Bradley Cooper (Rocket Raccoon), and Vin Diesel (Groot) tries to keep peace throughout all galaxies as the space equivalents of the Avengers, who broke numerous records to not only become 2012's top-grossing film, but also the highest-grossing, live-action superhero movie of all time.
At the San Diego Comic-Con last weekend, Marvel announced a second Guardians movie set for release on July 28, 2017: illustrating the possibility of Marvel facing off against Wonder Woman, the Justice League, or other DC Comics superheroes Warner Bros. hopes to bring forth on the big screen to set up the DC Comics Cinematic Universe.
Lucy, last weekend's #1 winner starring fellow Marvel Avenger Scarlett Johansson (aka the Black Widow), drops to number two with $18.2 million -- bringing its domestic total to almost $80 million dollars.
In two weeks comes The Expendables 3, the third -- and last? -- installment of Sylvester Stallone's middle-aged action hero franchise.
Sly brought in fresh blood in the form of Wesley Snipes, Antonio Banderas, Harrison Ford and Mel Gibson, as well as the next generation for this latest mission, where mercenary Barney Ross and his crew becomes the target of revenge for Conrad Stonebanks (Gibson), an embittered arms dealer who once co-founded the Expendables with Ross ... and his arrival could shake the team's foundation. Check out the final trailer at Deadline.

As the Akira Kurosawa centennial celebrations go on strong in Montreal, Cinema du Parc serves more than your typical Japanese dramas. In fact, the next batch of Kurosawa classics for August 24-25 are anything but standard Japanese fare. Uncommon even for Kurosawa himself, the mark of a great director is to step outside his comfort zone and actually succeed. Had he been alive today, granted he would have been 100 years old, we can only begin to imagine how much more he would have offered us.
First off, the most uncommon Kurosawa film, Dersu Uzala (1975), is certainly not his most popular. Although it won the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Picture in 1976, it certainly wasn't well received at first, especially back home. It mostly had to do with the fact that it is the only Kurosawa film not in Japanese. Although towards the end of his career, in the few color films he had done, he began adding some English and French, reaching a more international audience (as if he needed it). But Dersu Uzala is completely devoid of Japanese; in fact, the film is entirely in Russian.
Based on true incidents, the adventure tale follows the Russian explorer Captain Vladimir Arseniev as he scours Siberia, and befriends the hunter Dursu Uzala. Years later, he meets up with Dursu again for another expedition, but Dursu, being older and weaker, is invited to leave the dark forest and come live with the captain in the city. Safe to say the transition is not easy for the woodsman.
If this is too bizarre for you, you may stick to the familiar with the Kurosawa favorite Red Beard (1965). An amalgam of his own work, Kurosawa took the samurai out of the period piece, and crafted an 185-minute drama in 19th century Japan. The story follows the rollercoaster relationship between a clinic director and his arrogant pupil-turned-doctor. Kurosawa claimed that "I started looking around for something else to do and quite by accident picked up [the novel] Red Beard by Shugoro Yamamoto. At first I thought it would make a good script for [fellow director] Horikawa but as I wrote I grew so interested that I knew I would have to direct it myself."
This film is significant for two reasons: it is his last collaboration with the brilliant actor Toshiro Mifune, and it his Kurosawa's last black-and-white film. The classical-minded director was very reluctant to transition into color, until he realized what can be done with it in his next feature film, which will be talked about in our next article. So in the meantime, check these ones out, and remember to keep those cameras rolling.

Tablehopping in SF
By jack.flynn on Sep 03, 2008
Tasty Advice from a San Francisco Foodie
Marcia "the tablehopper" Gagliardi writes a popular weekly e-column, tablehopper, about the SF dining scene (and more). You can subscribe for free and get it in your inbox every Tuesday. She also writes for San Francisco magazine, Travel + Leisure, and the Foodie 411 blog for the SFCVB. Thanks Marcia for hopping onto our blog and serving up some mouth-watering suggestions for Oracle OpenWorld attendees.
Nothing like having a local food writer fill you in on some of the top places to eat, right? Since I am known as the tablehopper, I have all kinds of options for you, and most are located pretty close to Moscone. Be sure to click on the links below for in-depth reviews of each place, and tips on what to order and where to sit.
First, the two big-buzz waterfront spots you might to check out, even just for drinks, are Epic Roasthouse and Waterbar, the latest duo to open from Pat Kuleto. Sure, they're each a bit rough on the wallet, but the New Orleans-inspired fare at Epic is full of personality, while Waterbar has an array of seafood for those seeking finned food. And about that view...
Craving seafood, but want a bit more of an intimate or funky vibe? Bar Crudo is a local fave near Union Square and has a cool/edgy New York feeling, while Anchor & Hope is a casual place tucked away in a SoMa alley—great wine list and raw bar.
One of my top ten Italian restaurants is Perbacco, a chic place that is downtown, and focused on Piemontese cuisine, with top-notch house-made salumi, and sublime pastas.
Looking for something to inspire your taste buds? The groundbreaking food at Orson pushes the envelope (don't worry, there are some pizzas as well, made with top-notch ingredients), and a gorg bar where you can try fantastic cocktails (or comfortably dine by yourself!).
G'day mate! Ever been to Australia? Take a quick jaunt to San Francisco's only Australian restaurant, South food + wine bar. This urban outpost is just right for some barramundi and/or a glass of wine from the Barossa.
No trip to SF is complete without some killer cocktails—we have a big craft cocktail scene here, so be sure to visit places close to Union Square like Cantina, a Latin art bar, or Bourbon & Branch, a speakeasy-esque bar where you reserve a table ahead of time (don't let the sketchy neighborhood scare you).
Just in case you are looking for more ideas, take a look at my listing of recently opened restaurants in the "fresh meat" section on tablehopper, or you can email me for complimentary restaurant recommendations with my tip please service.
Buon appetito! And be sure to tell any of these places the tablehopper sent ya!

TSW Guide: Quests in the Secret World
TSW Guide of Investigation Missions
TSW Guide of Infiltration Missions
TSW Guide of Solomon Island Repeatable Quests
TSW Guide of Romania Repeatable Quests
An Overview of Questing
Quests are not the typical "Quest hub" style you are used to seeing in the modern MMO. Instead of offering you quest hubs that you continually return to every time you finish "collecting 10 rat pelts" to pick up 10 more quests for a small area, TSW limits the number of quests you can have active at any given time.
You are allowed only 1 "red" (action), "green" (investigation), or "yellow" (infiltration) quests at once. In addition to these three quests, are you allowed to have upto 3 "grey" (item) quests at once. You also have the "story" quest line, which is unique to the zone you are in.
Try not to approach TSW as a hub game. Think of it as a narrative flow. Let the story take you from one quest giver to another, even if that means returning to an original quest giver eventually. You will find that the cut-scenes flow better, the XP comes in more consistently and the difficulty progresses more naturally if you follow the narrative path.
Effective Quest Tactics in TSW
When questing in TSW, you should choose one quest (Red/Green/Yellow) and follow it from the start to the end. As you move through the area, you will pass by the "item" (grey) quests. You should take these out when you are in the area, as they will "Breadcrumb" you to the next questing area. Your "blue" story quest will usually advance naturally as you work through the other quests in a playfield.
Most quest NPCs in TSW have between 1-2 quest lines. (a few have three) when you finish one quest line, you will often have the breadcrumb sending you to the next quest NPC. It is upto you if you wish to return to the previous NPC and see what else he/she wanted from you, or if you wish to continue to the next location.
In general (but not always) the red quests in TSW are fairly easy to decipher. You won't need too much extra help to complete these quest lines. However, while doing the investigation (specifically), as well as the infiltration (if you wish to work to the "stealth achievement") missions, you might find yourself confused. Additionally, the "blue" story line quests often integrate investigation and infiltration elements. We have complete walk through for all of these types of quests available via a drop down on our Quest menu bar.
Story line and investigation quests may only be completed once per character. However, nearly every action, item, infiltration and dungeon quest may be repeated multiple times. We have listings of the repeatable action, item and infiltration quests available in our drop down Quest menu. These listings show you the quest name, quest starter, XP amount and in some cases whether important awards may be achieved repeating this quest. Additionally, if we have a walk through for this quest, you will find a hyperlink in the quest list. That link will take you to the quest's specific walk-through.
Talk to the NPC's
Finally, realize that all NPCs have their quest dialogue, as well as their "general story" dialogue. If you are interested in hearing more about the NPC, speak with them about any topics they offer to you, and realize, as you click each one, they will continue to offer more information to you until the box gains a green "check mark" thus triggering to you that they have given you all the story over that specific content.

College Hockey:UMD Scores Four Straight For Sweep Of Notre Dame
SOUTH BEND, Ind. — The Notre Dame Fighting Irish spirit was echoing through the Joyce Center on Friday night.
This was more than an hour before the second game of the college men's hockey series between Minnesota Duluth and Notre Dame. About 12,000 packed the school's basketball arena for a football pep rally leading to today's home game with Stanford.
It was loud, well-scripted and inspiring, and it appeared some folks then walked a half-block to the rink to improve on what was a small crowd the night before.
The fanfare, however, didn't affect UMD.
The Bulldogs rallied from a one-goal deficit to defeat Notre Dame 4-1 before 2,555 fans, about 200 fewer than capacity.
Sophomore Josh Johnson, in his first start of the season, was strong with 27 saves, while freshman Mike Curry scored two goals and Tim Stapleton and Brett Hammond each added one. UMD outshot the Fighting Irish 32-28 and 72-55 for the series. The Bulldogs were also proficient in penalty killing, stopping 12 of 13 power plays (22 of 24 in the series).
Notre Dame, of the CCHA, had gone 12-0-3 in its last 15 regular-season home games. Sophomore goalie David Brown did his part with 28 saves.
"I thought there was a big change from Thursday's game," Johnson said. "Our seniors pretty much told us we had to get going and get some shots on their goalie."
Officiating was the talk of Thursday's 2-2 tie, as the NCAA's mandate to crack down on obstruction penalties went into effect. And it dominated talk Friday, especially in a 1-1 first period with both goals coming on power plays. UMD was called for four of the first five penalties, three for interference and one for hooking.
Notre Dame went ahead 1-0 on center Matt Amado's goal at 3:40, and UMD responded with 2:21 left in the period on the first collegiate goal for right winger Curry. The Fighting Irish couldn't handle a Neil Petruic shot, and the 6-foot-3 Curry stole the rebound right in front of the net.
Curry came from Sioux City of the U.S. Hockey League, where he was a noted goal-scorer.
"I just wanted to come in here and see what I could do to help out. I wasn't coming in thinking I was going to score a lot right away," said Curry. "As a team we had a lot more jump and stayed intense."
That made the Bulldogs 1-of-2 on power plays after going 1-for-12 Thursday.
UMD's first lead of the series came on the only goal of the second period. Justin Williams put center Stapleton in for a rush straight down the slot in a 4-on-4 shift with 7:40 left. Stapleton knocked a shot off the right post and the puck rebounded in off Brown's leg. The Bulldogs outshot Notre Dame 15-8 in the period.
A two-man advantage for 74 seconds in the second period did give Notre Dame some solid chances. Winger Mike Walsh cracked an attempt in front of the UMD net in a 5-on-3 shift and Johnson smothered the puck. UMD killed two other 5-on-3 Notre Dame power plays in the game.
"Josh played well at the end of last season and it looks like this is just a carryover," UMD coach Scott Sandelin said. "This was a good road win, something good teams have to do. This is something to build on."
The game was put away as UMD scored twice in the third period. Hammond connected from the right edge of the net on a Luke Stauffacher pass at 5:27 and Curry outfought a defender pushing toward the Notre Dame net with 3:42 to go.
"That's a good team," Notre Dame coach Dave Poulin said of UMD. "They've got a lot of finishers and that's something we're still looking for."
UMD opens the Western Collegiate Hockey Association season next Friday and Saturday at Michigan Tech.

Hot answers tagged conditional-content
if ( is_singular( 'book' ) ) { // conditional content/code } The above is true when viewing a post of the custom post type: book. if ( is_singular( array( 'newspaper', 'book' ) ) ) { // conditional content/code } The above is true when viewing a post of the custom post types: newspaper or book. These and more conditional tags can be viewed ...
Here you are: get_post_type() and then if ( 'book' == get_post_type() ) ... as per Conditional Tags > A Post Type in Codex.
For anyone else looking for this, add this to your functions.php and you can have the functionality, inside or outside of the loop: function is_post_type($type){ global $wp_query; if($type == get_post_type($wp_query->post->ID)) return true; return false; } so you can now use the following: if (is_single() && is_post_type('...
You can use the function is_active_widget . E.g.: function check_widget() { if( is_active_widget( '', '', 'search' ) ) { // check if search widget is used wp_enqueue_script('my-script'); } } add_action( 'init', 'check_widget' ); To load the script in the page where the widget is loaded only, you will have to add the is_active_widget() ...
You can use the is_page( 'landing-page-template-one' ) conditional around your page specific styles / scripts as part of your over-all enqueue statements. function my_enqueue_stuff() { if ( is_page( 'landing-page-template-one' ) ) { /** Call landing-page-template-one enqueue */ } else { /** Call regular enqueue */ } } add_action( '...
To test if a post is any custom post type, fetch the list of all not built-in post types and test if the post's type is in that list. As a function: /** * Check if a post is a custom post type. * @param mixed $post Post object or ID * @return boolean */ function is_custom_post_type( $post = NULL ) { $all_custom_post_types = get_post_types( array ( ...
I think this should work: $attachments = get_children( array('post_parent' => get_the_ID(), 'post_type' => 'attachment', 'post_mime_type' => 'image') ); if ( $attachments ) { // do conditional stuff here }
functions.php is processed way before you can know which page is being loaded. Instead of assigning value to variable put your code into function and use that function in page.php template.
If you plan to do a lot of WP development you should bookmark this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags The other answer works but the conditional relies upon your page slug (myurl.com/this-is-the-slug) never changing. A more reliable method (IMO), and one that fits this case, would be to use the is_page_template('example-template.php') ...
No, its not possible. $content_width is a theme-wide constant, and its set in functions.php before any of the query conditionals are set. $content_width is used to determine the intermediate image sizes in image_send_to_editor. The "large" image size will be set to the value of $content_width. If you need to modify those sizes on a per-category basis, you ...
From quick look at code this conditional only seems to be processed for styles and not scripts.
Before starting answer I have to say that regarding this topic css and js are not the same. The reason is simple: while adding js to the body of the page (in footer) is a common and valid way to go, css need to be placed in the  section of the page: even if majority of browsers can proper render css in page body, that's not valid HTML code. ...
If for any reason you already have access to the global variable $post, you can simply use if ($post->post_type == "your desired post type") { }
if( get_post_type() == 'post_type_slug' ) { //do some stuff } else { //do other stuff } Should do it, alternately you can use templates to handle that, which wordpress has setup pretty well by default. See the codex page on template hierarchy, specifically I find the visual overview to be quite useful.
I think it is better to check for role rather than specific capability for such purpose, this should work: <?php if ( current_user_can('administrator') ): ?> See Roles and Capabilities in Codex.
Yes, that's good. You can be a little safer using <?php if(current_user_can('manage_plugins') ); ?>
Hi @NetConstructor: First thing, assuming your logic worked you can use the ternary operator to simplify your example: <li id="kids-<?php echo is_term('Kids','age_groups') ? 'on' : 'off'; ?>">Kids Programs
 The issue seems to be that is_term() is used to check if a term exists, not if it is associated with a particular post. I ...
Just check for the global $numpages variable: <?php global $numpages; if ( is_singular() && $numpages > 1 ) { // This is a single post // and has more than one page; // Do something. } ?>
How about a few simple lines With jQuery? jQuery(document).ready( function ($) { if ($(".entry-content:first-child").has('img').length) //this check for the img tag $(".entry-content:first-child").after("
MY CUSTOM CODE
"); else $(".entry-content:first-child").before("
MY CUSTOM CODE
"); }); ...
I found an other way that works well for me: When initializing the plugin, do not enqueue your scripts and styles, but register them with wp_register_style and wp_register_script. Next you can load the script/style on demand. For example when you render a shortcode with wp_enqueue_style("your_style") and wp_enqueue_script("your_script"). Here is an ...
It is a long shot, but you might try registering the script, then adding in the conditional, and then enqueueing the script: // Register the script wp_register_script( 'dd_belatedpng', get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . '/js/dd_belatedpng.js', array(), NULL, true ); // Attempt to add in the IE conditional tags $wp_scripts->add_data('dd_belatedpng', '...
This is the work around I had to put in place since WP doesnt support what I was trying to do functions.php add_action('init', 'sort_out_jquery_pngfix_frontend'); function sort_out_jquery_pngfix_frontend() { if(!is_admin()) { wp_deregister_script('jquery'); wp_register_script('jquery', 'https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1/...
This gets asked a lot so lets try and fully explain it. We can simply wrap it in an if statement and echo the value, for example, <?php if ( get_post_meta($post->ID, 'genre', true) ) : ?> <?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'genre, true) ?> ?> <?php endif; ?> But that is ugly, and why do 2 queries when you can do ...
As an alternative to @m0r7if3r's solution, the add_meta_boxes hook optionally passes two variables, the post type and post object. You can use this to conditionally add your metabox. New posts have the post status of 'auto-draft'. add_action( 'add_meta_boxes', 'myplugin_add_custom_box',10,2); function myplugin_add_custom_box($post_type, $post) { if($...
Check for the type of the page: function get_author_bio ($content=''){ if ( ! is_single() ) // not a blog post, stop immediately { return $content; } global $post; // continue with regular work The easiest way to learn these check functions is a look at the function get_body_class(). Here are the most important: is_rtl() ...
WordPress never makes any HTTP requests for gravatars, it just generates URLs to them. You don't really need to override function completely. You can filter get_avatar hook and return different URL if email matches user with custom avatar set.
I would recommend setting up multiple sidebars. Then you can call one sidebar for regular pages and a different sidebar for archive pages. This gives you complete control over which elements appear in the sidebar on each type of page. Here's a good tutorial on creating multiple, widget-ized sidebars. You can manage each in the Appearance >> Widgets ...
Wrap the content in a conditional: if( is_archive() ){ // Do stuff } More on conditionals here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Conditional_Tags
In WP 3.1, you have the handy has_term() function, found in wp-includes/category-template.php.

It's Seymour's wonderful holiday yesterday
|Strand Theater. Credit: contributed
All day, merchants and organizations will host activities themed around the 1946 Frank Capra movie. The All-American Valley General Store will be transformed into Mr. Grower's Drugstore and host a pancake breakfast with Santa from 9:15 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Between 11 a.m. and noon, Kim Dulka, owner of the general store, will sign copies of a children's book she self-published. "Farming with Rolo Coloring & Activity Book" is based on her experiences growing up on her family's farm in Seymour and her cow, Rolo. Books are $10, or $14.95 with a Rolo plush toy.
From 1 to 5 p.m., there will be horse-drawn carriage rides through downtown. At 4, the journey lights up with white luminarias. Draft horses will pull the carriage, which seats up to 25 people. The cost is $5. Meanwhile, from 11 to 3 p.m., actors from Seymour's Kokopelli School of Music and Arts will roam the streets and play some of the characters from "It's a Wonderful Life." From 4 to 4:45 p.m., the store will host a Christmas carol sing-a-long at the piano with hot cocoa.
The store's cafe will host two seatings of a five-course, farmer's feast meal. Kokopelli School of Music students will perform Dance by the Light of the Moon, a Charleston dance, at 8:45 p.m., directly before the screening of "It's a Wonderful Life" at the Strand Theater.
Elsewhere in town, Keystone Auctions becomes George Bailey's National Geographic Multi-Estate Auction, the Dancing Chihauhau transforms into Zuzu's Hat and Dress Shop, and Special Discount Liquor turns into Martini's Place with samplings of Clarence's favorite drink — mulled wine, heavy on the cinnamon, light on the clove. Meanwhile, Ozzie's Family Dining & Pizza will become Ma Bailey's Country Kitchen.
This is the second year the All-American Valley General Store has hosted the "It's a Wonderful Life" celebration.
"Being in this downtown historic district that has charm and nostalgia makes the perfect backdrop," Dulka said. "There is so much chaos going on in the outside world, it's the perfect Christmas story to bring people together."
In the film, every time a bell rings, an angel gets its wings. On Saturday, visitors can stop by the American Legion on Bank Street and pay $1 to ring its large bell, which will be brought down to the yard. The money will be donated to the family of Nina Poeta, a 16-year-old from Seymour who is undergoing treatment for a brain tumor. Bell ringers will receive a set of paper angel wings to write a message on and tie to the fence.

This report from Pulaski County was already intended for Unknown Dimensions coverage in the near future, but it is running this week to welcome readers of the St. James Leader-Journal, the latest member of the growing UD family. As is often the case, it is based upon an eyewitness account posted on the National UFO Reporting Center [NUFORC] website. If you have never visited this excellent source of information, do so at the earliest opportunity.
It was just approximately 4:00 a.m. on the morning of July 16 2014 when the female witness who made the report sat on her back porch and saw a glow through the trees that was large and bright enough to momentarily lead her to wonder if it was the moon. Then she realized it was in the wrong direction for the moon and moving slowly, but fast enough for its motion to be visible. When it had emerged from behind the concealing foliage and she got her first clear look at it, she immediately hurried into the house to awaken her husband, who quickly joined her in the yard to see their strange visitor.
She described the UFO as being a chevron or boomerang shape, a variety that has become a relatively frequent description for unknown aerial craft in recent years. In this case, however, it presented a relatively uncommon—but by no means unique—appearance. Instead of displaying a visible solid body adorned with individual lights, either the entire surface was emitting an almost blinding white illumination or the object itself was composed of light. She had been able to make out the shape as the object passed directly overhead, but when her husband arrived he could not do so clearly.
The unexpected visitor continued on a relatively straight path in an unspecified direction for another 30 seconds or so after the husband came outside, eventually reaching the point where it was not much larger than a star, and then 'blinked out'. At its closest it was said to cover approximately one-sixth the area of the sky that a full moon would.
For decades back in the 1950's nearly all reports of UFO's exhibiting this overall luminous appearance were either spheres, egg-shaped objects, or an occasional disk. It has only been in recent years that reports of more angular glowing bodies began to be reported in significant numbers. During the same general period there has also been a marked increase in urban sightings over some of the world's largest cities, both at night and in broad daylight. It is hard not to speculate that the operators of these unknown craft are no longer concerned about being observed or actually want to be seen. Depending upon whether you are an optimist or a pessimist, this could mean that our visitors are almost ready for contact or conquest.
Page 2 of 2 - Just as much debate surrounds the question of how this visual effect is produced. Those who have described it in detail are evenly divided between those who report that the surface of the craft is luminous and those who describe an aura, usually assumed to be an energy field of some sort, enclosing the object. Most of the speculation regarding the purpose for either revolves around it being somehow associated with the propulsion system.
This area of Missouri has produced a relatively steady stream of aerial anomalies for more than sixty years now, with an occasional dating back to at least the 1880's. UFOs are certainly not the only unexplained phenomenon reported from this often rugged region, either. Numerous reports of Bigfoot-type creatures have been offered, including encounters by military trainees on the grounds of Fort Leonard Wood. Black panthers, which are not supposed to exist in the wild outside of Asia, are seen so frequently in some areas that the stories no longer raise the eyebrows of locals. There was even at least one sighting several years ago of a bird flying at low enough altitude to be seen clearly and said to be about the size of a private aircraft. I suspect that it will continue to produce encounters with the unknown in the future.
If you have had an encounter with any type of paranormal or unexplained phenomena, no matter where or when it occurred, I would like to add it to my ever-growing files. Send me a complete account, with as many details as you can. Include your name and a telephone number or email address I can reach you at if I need more information. Complete anonymity, if requested, will be observed if your experience is used for publication. Send accounts and comments to email@example.com.
A special note to new readers of Unknown Dimensions in the St. James area: I hope that you have enjoyed reading this column and look forward to doing so in the future. While this column covers the entire American Heartland, including Missouri and the states bordering it, preference is given to reports from areas where the column runs weekly. Whether or not it continues to appear, however, is up to you. The editor took a risk by running a feature on a controversial topic, and the only way he will know how you, the readers respond to column is for them to take a few moments to let him know. In addition, I am also depending in part upon you who have had an unexplained experience to send me the information at the email address below. All requests for anonymity will of course be honored if it is ever used for publication in any form.

Welcome back to my journey through Living With the Boyfriend. In my last installment, I wrote about 8 things I had learned about living with the one I love. That was after the time frame of one month. Here it is a little over six months since Will's move-in date and it's just about time for an update on the lessons I have been learning. So, here, in no particular order, are eight more things I have learned about living with the one I love.
- Six months isn't enough time to be completely settled in to planned routines. I'm actually beginning to believe that we'll never be settled in to the exact routines we discussed. We're a heck of a lot closer now than we were five months ago though. It appears the real lesson here is that no matter how much you may plan before you get that place together, the routine will create itself as you go.
- The annoying things about your apartment will become challenges you can fix together. Ok, so this may not be true for everyone. Will and I, on the other hand, like trying to be handy around the apartment. And by "Will and I like trying to be handy", what I really mean is, Will likes to be handy while I stand around watching him and throwing in my usually un-needed advice.
- Having two of everything laying around can be both irritating and useful. Yes, I know...you don't have to get rid of everything just because he's bringing in his own version of it. But let's face the fact that I am sick and tired of having an extra microwave sitting on the floor in the dinning room and an extra set of mattresses leaning against a wall in the bedroom so as to make it impossible to open the bedroom door all the way. On the other hand, if anything breaks, we'll likely have a spare.
- People are more likely to ask you when you're getting married. Seriously. It doesn't matter if you and your sweetheart have discussed this option or if you have agreed it will never happen. More people are going to ask this question. All. The. Time. Especially if you're the girl in the relationship.
- You will not be alone when you go through a personal tragedy. During my hiatus earlier this month, Will and I came home to discover one of my two beloved cats had died. Chee was my baby. She had been my companion since I moved out of my parent's place and into my own apartment. When summer break from college would come along and all of my friends would go home, Chee was there to keep me company. It broke my heart when we found her. I was thrown in to a fit of hysterics and I honestly have no idea what I would have done if Will had not been here. He helped me through that exceptionally difficult time. I never once felt like I was suffering alone.
- You will partake in whatever hobbies the two of you share even more than before. My Xbox Live gamer score has jumped by at least 2000 since Will got here (and considering it's not even at 6000 yet, that's a pretty large jump), I've read twice as many books as I normally do in six months, and I cannot seem to stop trying to find new recipes online. I do all of these things to a much greater extent even if I'm not necessarily doing them with Will. Just having someone around all of the time that I can talk to about these little pastimes makes them that much more enjoyable to do.
- Those little annoying things you notice about your sweetheart...they still annoy you. But it still doesn't matter because you still love them...probably because of those little annoying things.
- Dates are still important. Go out and do things with your sweetie. Just because you see him every night at home doesn't mean you should stop seeing him every weekend at a nice restaurant or in a movie theatre. Find one of my Cheap Date Ideas and get out of your humble abode!
I said it in my one month article and I'll say it again here, I know there are still a ton of other things to learn. You should always make sure you're prepared when you and your love decide to try living together, but you should also be aware that there are just some things nothing can prepare you for.
If you decide that living together is the right step for you, check out the Lexington Apartment Guide to find just the right place for the two of you to snuggle up together!

Bigger companies as well as people who have very important and confidential data in their computer system uses antivirus software programs for Spyware. Spyware is basically a virus which is installed into your computer and its job is to send your data out to the source which has sent Spyware in your computer, hence making you completely vulnerable and unprotected. This surely affects your internet speed, as the data is also being transferred at that time, but when you install an antivirus software program for Spyware you will be protected in the best possible manner, as it not only analyze and remove spyware but it also protects your computer from every kind of Spyware too!

Company Hopes To Place Up To 13 Turbines
July 31, 2013 | Volume 100 No. 31
A young company based in Denver is trying to start its second wind farm in Montana. Compass Energies is negotiating to find a market for the energy it hopes to generate from up to 13 turbines placed on about 1,400 acres it has leased from four landowners south of Opheim.
Kyle Paulson, development director for Compass Energies, explained the $40 million project to about 20 people at Glasgow High School on Tuesday night.
The turbines would generate up to 23 megawatts of power, but before anything is built, a number of interconnected things have to come to favorable conclusions. The buyer (ca...
