Kamagra chewable soft tablets 100mg X4
Kamagra chewable soft tablets (Sildenafil 100mg) are the generic equivalent of brand name Viagra, for the treatment of erectile dysfunction, although they are frequently used for performance enhancement by many young men. Because they do not carry the brand name, Viagra, they represent a cost effective choice.
They are manufactured by an FDA approved pharmaceutical giant, Ajanta pharma, who are based in Mumbai, India.
They are suitable for most people with the exception of those who take or plan to take any Nitrate based medications. See the list below or consult your medical professional if you are unsure about any medicine that you may already be taking. Medical consultation is always advised.
Users taking the following should not take Kamagra 100 mg tablets. This list is not comprehensive. Nitroglycerin, isosorbide dinitrate, nitroprusside (any "nitric oxide donor" medicines), cimetidine, erythromycin, azole antifungals (e.g., itraconazole, ketoconazole), mibefradil, rifamycins (e.g., rifampin) or high blood pressure medicines. Also the use of poppers (Amyl Nitrate, Amyl Butrate etc) is dangerous whilst using Kamagra 100mg tablets.

I've been reading Dr. Joel Fuhrman's books Disease-Proof Your Child: Feeding Kids Right
and Eat To Live.
Pete and I love Dr. Fuhrman's philosophy on food, so we've taken his words and implemented them into our diet.
Basically: eat more greens, veggies, and legumes. I'm down with that!
Speaking of legumes, we've recently won our five-year old over to the chickpea side. Woo hoo! He loves to nibble on chickpeas. He loves to dip his crackers and veggies in hummus. He loves curry and rice with chickpeas.
Naturally I've been buying up chickpeas like they're going out of style. My hope is they'll open the gate to all kinds of bean-love for him.
This spread is another garden-inspired recipe. Basil, garlic, and sweet potatoes this time. But you could definitely switch out the sweet potato for butternut squash. Or even carrots. And if you're a beet lover, beets. The possibilities are endless.
Sweet Potato Spread
½ cup roasted sweet potato
1 cup of cooked chickpeas
1 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 tbsp basil
1 clove of garlic
salt and pepper to taste
Add all of the ingredients, except salt and pepper, to the bowl of your food processor and puree until it reaches desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
I like my spread on a wrap or on crackers. It's pretty thick but it also goes well with other garden-fresh veggies – carrots, peppers, or broccoli.
I have another sweet potato spread you'll love:
Sweet Potato and Caramelized Onion Spread
And here's my favorite frosting recipe that uses sweet potato. It comes from Diet, Dessert, and Dogs.
Chocolate "Buttercream" Frosting
And this is a must-try chili recipe from Daily Bites:

Blues Brothers

UCI's Joseph S. Lewis teamed up with musician John Chiodini on a labor of love 15 years in the making.
Joseph S. Lewis was the arts dean at Cal State Northridge when he started his own music album. Slow-forward 15 years. Now he's dean of Claire Trevor School of the Arts at UC Irvine, and he's finally finished it. And, wow, is he excited it's all come together at last—blues, alternative blues, acoustic blues, a bit of folk influence.
But more about that later. First, back to Northridge-it was 1998. Student Lauri Chiodini came to see him about a project and spotted his guitar, an old New Yorker Martin he'd had since he was 13. She told him her dad played too, and invited him for dinner and a jam session with her father. Dad turned out to be John Chiodini, one of the most respected studio musicians in the country, who toured with Natalie Cole and Paul McCartney. He liked Lewis' work and suggested they record something. "Two weeks later, we were in the studio," Lewis says.
But after just a few recordings, Lewis' father, a former vocalist with Harry Belafonte, became ill on the East Coast. (In earlier years, they traveled the country as a singing act—Lewis and Lewis.) To be near him, Lewis took education jobs in New York, serving in dean positions at Fashion Institute of Technology and Alfred University.
He returned West following his father's death in 2009 and accepted the highly prestigious dean position at UCI's arts school. "I called John and said, 'We have to finish this.'" Chiodini was anxious too. They added noted musicians for cameo spots: Jimmy Wood, Alexis Kelly, a number of alternative bands, then flute player Nicole Mitchell and Ed Vodicka on accordion. Lewis and Chiodini appear on the jazzy red cover, though the album is called Three Black Bungalows. ("No particular meaning," Lewis says. "It's just a name I like.") You can find it on cdbaby.com, iTunes, Spotify and at Amoeba Music in Los Angeles. There's one instrumental; Lewis sings the other songs. He calls it "contemporary acoustic blues guitar with thought-provoking, witty lyrics, saturated by politically rooted overtones." That's an academic for you.
So what's next? YouTube, of course. Lewis is putting together what he calls a music movie to go with one of his songs. "I'm not Justin Timberlake," he notes. "But I think these are very good songs people can relate to."

30 years ago
A look back at the news in June 1981
By June 1981, 18 months after HCB first appeared, the magazine was beginning to settle down into a structure that current readers might recognise. For instance, that issue included reports on the discussions that had recently taken place at the UN Committee of Experts' 11th session, the implications of changes made by the RID/ADR experts to the packaging provisions, further packaging changes resulting from amendments to the IMDG Code (courtesy of Desmond Waight), and the impact of the new (as of March 1980) Baltic MOU.
Many of those issues are still 'live' some 30 years later, although at least the regulators in 1981 did not have to bother themselves with the technical problems associated with lithium batteries.
Elsewhere, the June 1981 issue covered a lot of maritime ground – not surprising, as the magazine's founding editor, Mike Corkhill, was trained as a naval architect. For instance, the issue looked at eight representative oil tankers delivered into the fleet during 1980, most (if not all) of which have likely been scrapped by now. An important element in the sector at the time was the new requirements for inert gas systems aboard tankers. HCB had already developed a particular speciality in reviewing incidents and the safety lessons that can be drawn from them. The June 1981 issue looked again at the April 1980 rail crash in Somerville, Massachusetts, when a tank car with 13,000 gallons (49,200 litres) of phosphorus tetrachloride ruptured, creating a vapour cloud that forced the evacuation of 23,000 people and sent more than 400 to hospital. In its investigation into the incident, NTSB noted that response advice was contradictory and that the fire services' practice of using water hoses to keep flammable liquids spills out of sewers (!) was counter-productive when the product concerned reacts with water.
The issue also looked at the ongoing investigation into the loss of the OBO Derbyshire in the Pacific Ocean. It is certainly the case that in those days catastrophic vessel losses were a lot more common than they are today, and the forensic skills of modern marine investigators are far ahead of the position just a generation ago.
Another regular feature was the 'Echoes' column, which looked back even further to historic accidents. In the June 1981 issue, Paddy Watson recalled what was supposed to be the first ever tanker explosion. The iron steamship Petriana was built as a general cargo ship by Hawthorn Leslie on the Tyne in 1879, and converted in 1886 to carry oil, with six cargo tanks and double bottom tanks for ballast, giving a deadweight of about 2,100 tonnes. In December 1886 Petriana had arrived in Liverpool from Batumi with a cargo of Russian kerosene; after discharge the tanker entered a repair dock in Birkenhead where, during water testing, there was an explosion in the foremost cargo tank. Ten men were working in the tank at the time; four died instantly and the other six died later of their injuries.
The men were working by naked light and investigators surmised that these had ignited vapours coming up from the ballast tanks, probably as a result of leaks from the cargo tank. Fortunately we no longer work by candlelight, but nevertheless deaths and injuries still occur on a regular basis as a result of hot work on tanks that have not been inerted. The old ship carried on for a few more years; in February 1900 she was listed as quarantined for 15 days in Borneo with an outbreak of smallpox on board. That, at least, is one hazard we no longer have to worry about.

A low-carb vegan diet may reduce heart disease risk and weight, says a new study, "Effect of a 6-month vegan low-carbohydrate ('Eco-Atkins') diet on cardiovascular risk factors and body weight in hyperlipidaemic adults: a randomized controlled trial," published online February 5, 2014 in the British Medical Journal Open. The study put participants on a diet of a balance of 26 per cent of calories from carbohydrates, 31 per cent from proteins and 43 per cent from fat – coming primarily vegetable oils.
The diet's carbohydrate sources included high-fiber foods such as oats and barley and low-starch vegetables such as okra and eggplant. Proteins came from gluten, soy, vegetables, nuts and cereals. Predominant fat sources for the Eco-Atkins diet were nuts, vegetable oils, soy products and avocado. So if you're on a gluten-free diet, you have to separate this diet that included proteins from gluten with other types of vegan diets that are gluten-free to see what diet is balanced and the best-fit for your own body as an individual.
Researchers at St. Michael's Hospital have shown for the first time that, in addition to weight loss, a specific low-carbohydrate diet may also reduce the risk of heart disease by 10 per cent over 10 years. The diet, often called The 'Eco Atkins' Diet is a low-carbohydrate vegan diet. Many low-carbohydrate diets have been proven to improve weight loss but most emphasize eating animal proteins and fats, which may raise cholesterol. Diets that are high in vegetable proteins and oils may reduce the risk of heart disease by lowering "bad cholesterol."
Designing a low-carb vegan diet
"We killed two birds with one stone – or, rather, with one diet," explained lead author Dr. David Jenkins, who is director of the Clinical Nutrition and Risk Modification Center of St. Michael's Hospital and a Nutritional Sciences professor at the University of Toronto. "We designed a diet that combined both vegan and low-carb elements to get the weight loss and cholesterol-lowering benefits of both."
The findings, which were published in British Medical Journal Open, compared the Eco Atkins diet to a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet. The Eco-Atkins diet reduced cholesterol by 10 per cent while also helping participants lose an average of four more pounds than the high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet over six months.
"We could expect similar results in the real world because study participants selected their own diets and were able to adjust to their needs and preferences," said Dr. Jenkins, according to the May 22, 2014 news release, "Low-carb vegan diet may reduce heart disease risk and weight." Jenkins is a vegan.
Participants were given menu plans that outlined food items and amounts
Rather than requiring fixed meals, the menus served as a reference guide and participants were given a list of suitable food alternatives. With an exchange list of interchangeable food items, participants were better able to adapt the diet to their personal tastes – which helped to encourage adherence to the diet.
Twenty-three obese men and women completed the six-month diet. Participants were encouraged to eat only 60 per cent of their estimated caloric requirements – the amount of calories that should be consumed daily to maintain their current weight. Eco-Atkins participants aimed for a balance of 26 per cent of calories from carbohydrates, 31 per cent from proteins and 43 per cent from fat – coming primarily vegetable oils.
Carbohydrate sources included high-fiber foods such as oats and barley and low-starch vegetables such as okra and eggplant. Proteins came from gluten, soy, vegetables, nuts and cereals. Predominant fat sources for the Eco-Atkins diet were nuts, vegetable oils, soy products and avocado.
The Web MD's article on The 'Eco Atkins' Diet explains that instead of the steaks and bacon found in the original Atkins diet, dieters in the study were given prepared foods that consisted mostly of healthy fats, soy foods, beans, nuts, seeds, no-starch gluten products, fruits, and vegetables. Some 31% of the calories in the diet came from plant proteins, 43% from vegetable oils, and 26% from carbs.
Protein came primarily from gluten, soy beverages; tofu; soy burgers; veggie products such as bacon, breakfast links, and deli slices; nuts; vegetables; and cereals. The diet emphasized viscous vegetables like okra and eggplant, along with other low-starch vegetables. The diet included "good fats" from canola oil, olive oil, avocado, and nuts. The dieters got carbs from fruits, vegetables, and cereals, with a limited amount of oats and barley. But they ate no starchy foods like enriched white bread, rice, potatoes, or baked goods.
Noteworthy is the fact that the The 'Eco Atkins' Diet which is high in vegan fats is opposite when it comes to how much fats/oils to consume, to the Esselsteyn diet (to help reverse hardening of the arteries filled with soft plaque), a diet which is low in fats, encourages a few spoons of ground flaxseeds and emphasizes no oils, for those with heart disease and clogged arteries throughout their body. See, "Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease."
After 5 years on Dr. Esselstyn's plant-based diet, the average total cholesterol levels of his research group dropped from 246 milligrams per deciliter to 137 mg/dL (Above 240 mg/dL is considered "high risk," below 150 mg/dL is the total cholesterol level seen in cultures where heart disease is essentially nonexistent.) This is the most profound drop in cholesterol ever documented in the medical literature in a study of this type, according to the Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr., M.D. website.
There's an anti-inflammatory response to the gluten-free vegan diet for some people
In another study by different researchers, findings revealed how a gluten-free vegan diet in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients induces changes that are potentially artery-protective (atheroprotective) and anti-inflammatory, including decreased LDL and oxLDL levels and raised anti-PC IgM and IgA levels, say researchers. For example, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients who eat a gluten-free vegan diet could be better protected against heart attacks and stroke.
RA is a major risk factor for these cardiovascular diseases, but a gluten-free vegan diet was shown to lower cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and oxidizedLDL (OxLDL), as well as raising the levels of natural antibodies against the damaging compounds in the body that cause symptoms of the chronic inflammatory disease rheumatoid arthritis, such as phosphorylcholine. These findings, "Gluten-free vegan diet induces decreased LDL and oxidized LDL levels and raised atheroprotective natural antibodies against phosphorylcholine in patients with rheumatoid arthritis- a randomized study," were reported online March 17, 2008 in the open access journal Arthritis Research and Therapy.
The idea that we can influence our health by changing our eating habits has become a fashionable idea among lifestyle and consumer magazines. There is evidence that dietary changes can bring about health benefits but specific results are not widespread. Johan Frostegard of the Rheumatology Unit at the Karolinska University Hospital in Stockholm and colleagues divided sixty-six RA patients randomly into two groups. They randomly assigned 38 of the volunteers to eat a gluten-free vegan diet, and the other 28 a well-balanced but non-vegan diet for one year. They analyzed the levels of fatty, lipid molecules in blood samples using routine analytical methods at regular periods. They also measured oxLDL and anti-phosphorylcholine (antiPC) factor at the beginning of the experiment, at 3 months and again at 12 months.
The Eco Atkins diet came about after researchers at St. Michael's Hospital in Toronto decided to see whether a high-protein vegetarian diet could promote weight loss along with a reduction in "bad" cholesterol. They devised the Eco Atkins diet, keeping the same ratio of protein and carbs as the original Atkins diet but replacing the high-fat animal protein with vegetable protein (primarily from soy and gluten).
You also may wish to check out a study, published in the Archives of Internal Medicine, where the researchers put 47 overweight men and women on either the Eco-Atkins diet or a lacto-ovo (including dairy and eggs) vegetarian diet with more carbs and less fat. Both diets were low in calories, providing 60% of the study participants' calorie requirements. See, "Eco-Atkins Diet."
The researchers found that the gluten-free vegan diet not only reduced LDL and oxLDL levels and raised antiPC antibodies but lowered the body-mass index (BMI) of the volunteers in that group.
Levels of other fatty molecules, including triglycerides and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) stayed the same. In contrast, none of the indicators differed significantly for the control groups on the conventional healthy diet. AntiPC antibodies are studied within CVDIMMUNE, an European consortium led by Dr Frostegard with the hypothesis that such antibodies can protect against cardiovascular disease and can be used as diagnostic and therapeutic factors.
Frostegard and colleagues have now shown that diet could be used to improve the long-term health of people with rheumatoid arthritis. They concede that a bigger study group will be needed to discern which particular aspects of the diet help the most, according to the March 27, 2008 news release, "An anti-inflammatory response to the vegan diet." The study's authors are Ann-Charlotte Elkan, Beatrice Sjoberg, Bjorn Kolsrud, Bo Ringertz, Ingiald Hafstrom and Johan Frostegard. You also may wish to check out the website of BioMed Central.
Vegans also have to be powerful enough to even know what veganism is, but is going vegan for health, intelligence, influence, impact, maintaining youthfulness, entertainment, publicity, or for power and influence on the food industry?
Why is it that women in power are not portrayed in the news as turning vegan to rise through the glass ceiling? After all billionaires such as Martha Stewart don't have all vegan cooking programs like the Veria TV channel offers showing cooking with no dairy, no-eggs, and no meats in some of the cooking shows.
More CEOs are giving up meat, eggs, and dairy, for example, people mentioned in the Business Week article. Not only meat, dairy, and eggs, but some vegan CEOs also are giving up oils as well. Why oils--if the human body was made to digest fat and protein? It's about how a particular oil or fat affects an individual's metabolic and genetic response.
Do people follow CEOs because they're perceived as not only smart but also vegan?
And CEO's, the richest of them are flaunting their vegan ways. Check out the organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The new rich is vegan. More restaurants are becoming vegan-friendly to top CEOs, and the CEOs with all their wealth are not ordering only steak and martinis any more.
A lot of vegans are tasting seitan, which is wheat-meat, not realizing how constipating this gluten food can be once you eat it. Try tempeh (fermented soybeans caked and cut to look like slices of meat) if you can't tolerate wheat gluten. Now the trend is to vote for a vegan Presidential candidate if you can find a vegan candidate who's actually running.
Vegans in politics and medicine
The Ohio representative Kucinich's vegan diet has become known and is growing in popularity, especially among wealthy and powerful CEOs. According to the Business Week article, Representative Robert A. Brady (D-Pa.), the head of the Committee on House Administration, includes vegan options in the congressional cafeteria.
The media has shown a documentary featuring Dr. Sanjay Gupta and Bill Clinton, among others. The documentary is titled, "The Last Heart Attack" featuring the current vegan diet of Bill Clinton. And Clinton emphasized how much weight he lost on a vegan diet. See, Watch it Here: The Last Heart Attack CNN Heart Disease.
Is this diet for women in power as well? You might check out Kucinich's own diet book when the publisher finally settles on a title. There are numerous vegan clubs in Sacramento that women go to for vegan socializing.
Some people even look for a vegan mate when they search for making the greatest decision they'll make in their life....Make that two decisions. First to go vegan and second to find a mate who also is vegan. Also see, What's the Healthiest Diet of All? - NYTimes.com. But why are there so few women vegans (other than some athletes) portrayed in the news as powerful, rich, and healthy at least in the mainstream media?
And for vegan foods, also check out the cafe and bakery, Sugar Plum Vegan Bakery & Cafe - Vegan Club Sandwich - Sacramento, CA. Or see, "Sacramento Vegan and Vegan Friendly Restaurants - Metro Area." You also may wish to check out the websites of the various Sacramento Vegan Societies/Clubs such as Vegan Meetups near Sacramento, California - Vegan Meetups , Vegan Family Holiday Potluck dinner club - SACRAMENTO VEGAN, Vegetarian Societies and Vegetarian Organizations for vegetarian, Raw foods and vegetarian club meetings in Sacramento, Sacramento vegetarian society, and Davis Food Co-op Club Vegan | Facebook.

TC TO LORD ASHBURTON ; 20 December 1856; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18561220-TC-LOA-01; CL 32: 57-59
Chelsea, 20 decr, 1856—
Dear Lord Ashburton,
Your Letter last night was of the nature of a godsend; bringing you all once more into my actual sphere of vision, after so long an interval: for which beneficent clear glimpse I give thanks; right glad to have it,—tho' the news are not what I expected. By all accounts that could be gathered here, by direct tidings to Lady Sandwich, and rumours of a reflex nature that came, I understood in general that "all well" was the state of matters; and had no suspicion or imagination that My Lady especially was on the invalid list. But it has been otherwise. I suppose I need not say how glad I shall be to hear your favourable report on that evil matter confirm itself into the certainty you now seem to anticipate! It was of you always that one was in dread; and now it appears you go scot-free, and a thinner-skinned party pays the penalty. Let us hope that that too is on the way to "all well." I fall at her Ladyship's feet (as the George-Second Ambassadors do to little George),1 and make many prayers and promises!—
My existence ever since you left us has been sunk a long way under the common low depth: I can hardly remember to have been in such a boundless bottomless vortex as I had had to swim in for the last three months. Making hardly any perceptible way; yet swimming, not to sink altogether! My country "improvement of health" vanished altogether with my arrival here,—or seemed to vanish, for probably I did get essential good;—but the express-train, the town diet, the town life, seemed to have abolished it altogether and even made it a negative quantity. Then there was Fredk, like to drive me delirious in the state it lay in; then a New Editn of my bits of Books, long clamoured for and now to go on: work witht limit, and no strength to do it with. I had to get a Horse, by way of trying for some strength of body at least:—I am confident you bought Kinloch Luichart Estate with about the tithe of the haggling, trying, corresponding &c I had on that small matter. However, here he is, an excellt little Nag at last (cannot remember to have ridden a nicer, except at The Grange now and then);—only no "health" has yet come; coming, we will fancy; as permanent headache, and a general shaking up of bile have evidently come. Furthermore I picked up a desolate little German with a good hand of writing; made of him a "spiritual galloway," so to speak; who has cost me endless trouble;—a weak helpless creature, tho' a nibling.2 His last Clerk function was with Heyne the Blackguard Paris Jew:3 I often wonder what the poor creature thinks of being Wagner to such a pair of Fausts! We have ridden thro' endless square miles of dim dreary "Wash" (like that of Lincolnshire),4 shallow continents of muddy sea; both shores now invisible, nothing but a hope here and there of getting to some sandbank or mudbank, where the water is not above girth-high, & so looking round us a little. In short I have been, and am, nearly lost in the mud element;—and hugely to be pitied by you and her Ladyship. All goings-out, in fact all society with fellow-creatures (except my two horses, 'spiritual' and physical, of whom the latter is the more interesting) have ceased, or as good as ceased. "Christmas Dinner" this time will consist of mutton-chop, eaten with the maximum of quietude, within these poor walls. For, by way of consummation to everything, my poor Wife has fallen Prisoner, to cold &c; did not get out at all for about two months; and is still very feeble, tho' evidently recovering for some weeks past.— Lady Sandwich too, as you doubtless know, has been unwell; the last time I saw her Ladyship was with the French Duchess,5 who, it seems, did all the mischief: day before yesterday, and two other previous times, I found her "gone out driving," clearly in a tolerably improved state. She left a card lately, but would not quit her carriage here.— — On the whole, I cannot think somehow, you have lost much by Nice tel quel [such as it is]. We have hardly seen the sun physical once a fortnight; sun moral I, for my own poor share, have not seen or heard of at all. Tickets-of-leave6 and Doctors Commons7 are to be abolished. Palmerston resembles, to me, old M. de Maurepas:8 better be far from him. I intend writing to My Lady.
Good be with you all.
T. Carlyle

Nursing Workforce
Nursing Workforce
Licensure Renewal Survey
In 2008 and 2009, the Center for Health Workforce Planning and Analysis at the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (USG) conducted a survey of all currently licensed Registered Nurses (RNs) in Georgia. The purpose of the survey was to collect data on basic characteristics of the nurse workforce including their demographics, pre-licensure nursing education, type of licensure, and employment.
After completing the licensure renewal information on the Georgia Board of Nursing website, each RN was asked to complete a short web-based survey conducted by the USG. Nurses are on a two-year licensure renewal cycle, therefore half of eligible RNs were surveyed in 2008 and half in 2009. The data gathered from the survey is intended to be used to inform policymakers and legislators with accurate information about Georgia's RN workforce. A report on the findings is available:

Systems Analyst Careers
How to Become a Systems Analyst
How do organizations know how to use information technology efficiently and effectively? How do they decide how to incorporate new technology into their computer systems? That's where systems analysts come in. Computer systems analysts design computer systems to meet the needs of organizations. Sometimes they develop whole new computer systems by selecting and configuring hardware and software. At other times, they upgrade existing systems.
At the beginning of projects, systems analysts seek the input of management and computer users to identify the organization's information technology needs. They must design computer systems to meet those requirements in a way that is financially sound. That means they need to know about cost accounting along with the technical disciplines of structured analysis, data modeling, information engineering, mathematical model building, and sampling.
Often, systems analysts are experts in specific types of computer systems, such as financial, business, or engineering systems. Within these classifications, systems analysts' job titles may reflect specialization by job function as described below:
- Systems architect career
Systems architects select appropriate system software and infrastructure for organizations' information technology systems.
- Systems designer career
Systems designers are experts in developing and fine-tuning organizations' information technology systems.
- Programmer-analyst career
Programmer-analysts have both programming and systems analysis skills. They design and update computer software. They also create custom programs to perform specific tasks.
- Software quality assurance analyst career
Software quality assurance analysts specialize in in-depth testing of new systems or system upgrades. They test systems, diagnose problems, recommend solutions, and determine whether the systems projects have met their goals.
Degree Programs and Training for the Systems Analyst Career
Employers usually look for at least a bachelor's degree when hiring systems analysts. For technical or scientific systems, a bachelor's degree in computer science, information science, applied mathematics, engineering, or the physical sciences is a solid education. In business environments, a bachelor's degree in management information systems (MIS) is good preparation. More and more employers require an MBA with a concentration in information systems.
Systems Analyst Career Certification and Licensing
No particular certification or license is required for systems analysts. However, keeping current in this fast-changing field is of the utmost importance, so continuing education is a given. Hardware vendors, software vendors, and professional organizations offer certifications in a variety of disciplines.
Systems Analysts' Earnings
In May 2006, the middle 50 percent of systems analysts earned between $54,000 and $88,000.
Systems Analysts' Employment Outlook
Employment for systems analysts is growing much faster than average, and job prospects are very good. Because technology is increasingly sophisticated, the trend is toward more advanced education in this field. Systems analysts with advanced degrees in computer science or computer engineering, or with MBAs with concentration in management information systems, have the best outlook. Candidates who combine strong technical knowledge with good interpersonal and business skills also do well.

Los Angeles social media is making headlines across the world today, thanks to Clippers owner Donald Sterling. After Sterling's alleged mistress, V. Stiviano, recorded a heated conversation with the Clippers' owner, revealing his strong racial prejudices ─ which was mysteriously leaked to TMZ.
The argument began when Sterling asked Stiviano to take down an Instagram photo of herself with Magic Johnson, because of the color of his skin. He continues by insisting that she not bring black people with her to Clippers games.
TMZ posted some of Sterling's most outrageous comments, including:
"It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people. Do you have to?"
"You can sleep with [black people]. You can bring them in, you can do whatever you want. The little I ask you is not to promote it on that ... and not to bring them to my games."
-- "I'm just saying, in your lousy f******* Instagrams, you don't have to have yourself with, walking with black people."
"...Don't put him [Magic] on an Instagram for the world to have to see so they have to call me. And don't bring him to my games."
The incident has drawn outrage across the country as players and fans vow to boycott the team until Sterling has been removed.

Muslim, The Religion of Peace
Why is it that America is always accused of being 'xenophobic' because we're God's people, when you look across the world and find that everyone is publically wishing death to us for being better?
Look to the right. There you see a standard Muslim event called الرقص الإرهاب which roughly translates to "dance of terror death" in proper tongue.
Look how they use the supplies Obama airdrops to them to bring a message of hate to our nation of peace. We extend the olive branches of freedom and democracy, and they burn it down with the foul scent of curried hate.
Oh, it is all the same. Do not think India is so innocent, or Obama would not have to take 34 nuclear powered warships on his trip to India this week. India. Pakistan. Iran and Iraq. All the same. They worship bulah dabai and whoever else and it is all fake. Fake.
They worship elephants. They do hibbi hibii like Pentecostals but instead of being all emotional and falling out in black mother fits and saying "Thank yous Jesus! Jesus!" with typical black eyed jubilance, instead all they have is fire in there eyes and an innate, unshakable desire to yell all sorts of indecipherable curses as they bomb us all to death.
This is the future of the Axis of Evil. While our children are in college being responsible with studies so they can grow up and make the world a better place, these terrors are meeting up and finding new ways to plot against God's nation: America.
So the next time someone says "I, Muslim" with pride, don't let them guilt trip you for judging these people guilty. They are, they have guilt.
The picture is all the proof you need.

Siena Bests UMass Women's Soccer In Opener, 4-3
Aug 23, 2013
LOUDONVILLE, N.Y. - Freshman Megan Burke's shot on a partial breakaway was cleared off the line by a Siena defender seconds before the final horn as the Saints held on to defeat UMass women's soccer, 4-3, in an offensive-minded clash on Friday afternoon. The setback, which was the season opener for both squads, leaves the Minutewomen at 0-1-0 on the year.
UMass began the scoring just 5:40 into the contest. On a ball from senior Brittany Moore, Alyssa D'Arcy lofted a shot from 25 yards out that tucked inside the top right corner of the goal.
Siena leveled things at 1-1 in the 15th minute. As goalkeeper Danielle Kriscenski came out to challenge for the ball, Brittany Pfaff poked it past the Minutewomen netminder and it trickled home into the open net.
Just 1:09 later, UMass went back on top with another tally from D'Arcy, marking the junior's second career multi-goal game. Her strike from the top right corner of the box snuck inside the far post at 15:15.
The Saints did manage to net the equalizer before halftime, though, tying the score at 2-2. Tara Sobierajski redirected in a free kick from Anna Grant in the 29th minute.
Siena then took its first lead of the day a mere 39 seconds following the intermission. Pfaff received a feed from Taylor D'Alfonso and Kristen Connors and flicked it over Kriscenski for her second of the day.
At the 55:40 mark, the Minutewomen leveled the score at 3-3. Moore carried the ball up the right sideline and sent it ahead to sophomore Madison Smith. Smith drove a perfectly-timed cross into the box for Burke, who headed home her first collegiate goal inside the far post.
However in the 79th minute, the Saints came up with the eventual game-winner on a long cross that was finished off by an unmarked Coreena D'Alfonso.
UMass finished the contest with a 29-11 shot advantage and led in corner kicks, 6-4. Fouls were 14-9 against the Minutewomen, while the teams were assessed two yellow cards apiece.
UMass will be back in action next Thursday, Aug. 29 with the squad's home opener set for 4 p.m. vs. Saint John's on Rudd Field.

SAN FRANCISCO Stanford University announced Wednesday that it is joining an initiative co-founded by Harvard and MIT to develop a computer system that allows colleges to offer free online courses, a collaboration that school officials said would benefit both educators and students around the globe.
Stanford already has its own fledgling platform for delivering massive open online courses, or MOOCS.
The university has decided, however, to suspend work on it in favor of the system created by the two East Coast universities as a separate nonprofit enterprise, called edX, said John Mitchell, vice provost for online learning and a computer science professor at Stanford.
Stanford still plans to offer some of its courses through Coursera, a commercial Internet course provider founded by two Stanford professors.
But with the demand for online learning increasing rapidly, it makes sense for academic institutions to team up instead of compete, Mitchell said.
"Together, I think we will have a chance to produce a much better platform than each of us would be able to do individually," Mitchell said.
The software that emerges from the alliance has the potential to become the "Linux of online learning," he said.
As part of the collaboration, elements of Stanford's Class2Go system will be incorporated into edX before the program's source code is made available for the asking June 1, edX President Anant Agarwal said.
"I really believe this will enable true, planet-scale application of online education," Agarwal said.

Does anybody have a personal recommendation for a USB wifi network adapter that:
- has decent Linux drivers
- supports 802.11n speeds
- will connect to a wifi signal in the 5GHz band?
I've spent some time in google, the Ubuntu hardware compatibility pages and reading through various launchpad bug trails about support for the ralink chipset variations being a bit spotty.
I'm really finding it difficult to see any clear choice for me to purchase, so could do with a nudge in the right direction.
It would be ideal if it worked out of the box with kernel drivers, but I'll mess around with ndiswrapper etc if required.
Thanks in advance!

Positive Atheism's Big List of Quotations
No-Frames Quotes Index
Load This File With Frames Index
Home to Positive Atheism
Joseph McCabe (1867-1955)
Any body of men who believe in hell will persecute whenever they have the power.
If a single one of these gentlemen is correct, if a believer of any type is right, the essential truth for man, the real drama of life, in comparison with which the secular story of the race, is a puppet-show and the unfolding of the universe is a triviality, is the dialogue of the immortal soul and the eternal God. Yet it seems that there is nothing in the world so hard to discover as this. The theory refutes itself.
An idea or institution may arise for one reason and be maintained for quite a different reason.
The theist and the scientist are rival interpreters of nature, the one retreats as the other advances.
... the absence of theistic belief ...
The sentiments attributed to Christ are in the Old Testament. They were familiar in the Jewish schools and to all the Pharisees, long before the time of Christ, as they were familiar in all the civilizations of the earth -- Egyptian, Babylonian, and Persian, Greek, and Hindu.
Today we know not only that there is a terrible amount of disorder in the heavens -- great catastrophes or conflagrations occur frequently -- but evolution gives us a perfectly natural explanation of such order as there is. No distinguished astronomer now traces "the finger of God" in the heavens; and astronomers ought to know best.
Evolution throws a wonderful light on all the struggles, eccentricities, tortuous developments of the human conscience in the past. It is the only theory of morals that does. And evolution throws just as much light on the ethical and social struggle today; and it is the only theory that does. What a strange age ours is from the religious point of view! What a hopeless age from the philosopher's point of view! Yet it is a very good age, the best that ever was. No evolutionist is a pessimist.
Then there is the high cultural development of the Greek-Roman civilization, and from 300 BC to 300 AD we find the thinly veiled Atheism of the Stoics, Epicureans, and Sceptics accepted by the great majority of the better educated. Atheism perishes again with the crass ignorance and clerical tyranny of the Iron Age, but it spreads widely in the light of the Arab-Persian civilization, wherever the fanatics are checked, and at the Renaissance it reappears in Christendom. The hardening of the religious attitude after the Reformation again checks it, but in the 18th Century it enters upon a development, which has, in spite of murderous clerical tyranny in some countries, proceeded steadily ever since.
I once met a pompous ass of a believer who had this religious-sense theory in an exaggerated degree. It is not at all my custom to obtrude the question of religion in conversation, but somebody maliciously tried to draw the man into debate about God with me. He would say nothing but, with comic solemnity: "I know there is a God." He would not explain further, but his meaning was clear. He felt it. He sensed it. And there is but one possible form in which he could have given precise expression to his actual experience. He was visibly annoyed, but still silent, when I put it. It is: "I have a strong conviction that God exists."
A law of nature is not a formula drawn up by a legislator, but a mere summary of the observed facts -- a "bundle of facts." Things do not act in a particular way because there is a law, but we state the "law" because they act in that way.
Martha M McCarthy
Both Madison and Jefferson relied heavily on the theory of church-state separation espoused by John Locke who maintained that "the care of souls cannot belong to the civil magistrate."
Phyllis McGinley (1905-1978)
Sin has always been an ugly word, but it has been made so in a new sense over the last half-century. It has been made not only ugly but passé. People are no longer sinful, they are only immature or underprivileged or frightened or, more particularly, sick.
Ah, snug lie those that slumber

C Dennis McKinsey
Heaven is supposed to be a perfect place. Yet, it experienced a war (Revelation 12:7). How can there be a war in a perfect place and if it happened before why couldn't it happen again? Why would I want to go to a place in which war can occur? That's exactly what I'm trying to escape, aren't you?
Delos B McKown
Those who would seek the truth should take care that they may find it and in finding it be horrified.
The invisible and nonexistent look much alike.
Margaret Mead (1901-1978)
We will be a better country when each religious group can trust its members to obey the dictates of their own religious faith without assistance from the legal structure of the country.
Never doubt that a small group of committed citizens can change the world. Indeed it is the only thing that ever has.
When Christians accepted the alliance with Constantine and the Roman Empire, evil because it made Jesus' kingdom-not-of-this-world the tool of very this-worldly empires, they reverted to the old principle of coercion. In doing so they repeated the fatal error so often condemned by the Jewish prophets of putting their hope for salvation in alliances with the militarily powerful. At that point "Christendom" was born, and thereafter, contrary to their true principle, for fourteen centuries with spectacular pomp and circumstance, they depended on violence and coercion, purportedly to build and maintain the kingdom of the one they worshipped as the Prince of Peace....
Sir Peter Brian Medawar (1915-1987)
It is naïve to suppose that the acceptance of evolution theory depends upon the evidence of a number of so-called "proofs"; it depends rather upon the fact that the evolutionary theory permeates and supports every branch of biological science, much as the notion of the roundness of the earth underlies all geodesy and all cosmological theories on which the shape of the earth has a bearing. Thus antievolutionism is of the same stature as flat-earthism.
To abdicate from the rule of reason and substitute for it an authentication of belief by the intentness and degree of conviction with which we hold it can be perilous and destructive. Religious beliefs give a spurious spiritual dimension to tribal enmities.
It goes with the passionate intensity and deep conviction of the truth of a religious belief, and of course of the importance of the superstitious observances that go with it, that we should want others to share it -- and the only certain way to cause a religious belief to be held by everyone is to liquidate nonbelievers. The price in blood and tears that mankind generally has had to pay for the comfort and spiritual refreshment that religion has brought to a few has been too great to justify our entrusting moral accountancy to religious belief.
I regret my disbelief in God.
Wilhelm Meinhold (1797-1851)
The transfiguration and ascension of Christ may be compared to the heathen apotheosis of such heroes as Hercules, while the story of the descent into Hades is modeled after such narratives as those describing the visit of Hercules and Theseus to the lower world.
Herman Melville (1819-1891)
Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope.
The reason the mass of men fear God, and at bottom dislike Him, is because they rather distrust His heart, and fancy Him all brain like a watch. (You perceive I employ a capital initial in the pronoun referring to the Deity; don't you think there is a slight dash of flunkeyism in that usage?).
We incline to think that God cannot explain His own secrets and that He would like a little information upon certain points Himself. We mortals astonish Him as much as He us. But it is this Being of the matter; there lies the knot with which we choke ourselves. As soon as you say Me, a God, a Nature, so soon you jump off from your stool and hang from the beam. Yes, that word is the hangman. Take God out of the dictionary, and you would have Him in the street.
I'll try a pagan friend, thought I, since Christian kindness has turned out to be hollow courtesy.
The idea of Jehovah was born here.... Out of the rude elements of the insignificant thoughts thoughts that are in all men, they reared the transcendent conception of a God.
When my eye rested on an arid height, spirit partook of the barrenness. -- Heartily wish Niebuhr & Strauss to the dogs. The deuce take their penetration & acumen. They have robbed us of the bloom.
Queegqueg no care what god made him shark ... wedder Fejee god or Nantucket god; but de god what made him shark must be one dam Ingin.
There are certain queer times and occasions in this strange mixed affair we call life when a man takes this whole universe for a vast practical joke, though the wit thereof he but dimly discerns, and more than suspects that the joke is at nobody's expense but his own.
I baptize you not in the name of the father, but in the name of the devil.
Gary Sloan: Lambasts the Ways of Deity
Moby-Dick, by the way, is nothing less than an extended allegory on the villainy of God. Unlike Paradise Lost, which Milton wrote to justify the ways of God to man, Melville wrote Moby-Dick to lambast the ways of deity. Melville's method is largely one of indirection.
Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)
The so-called religious organizations which now lead the war against the teaching of evolution are nothing more, at bottom, than conspiracies of the inferior man against his betters.
The way to deal with superstition is not to be polite to it, but to tackle it with all arms, and so rout it, cripple it, and make it forever infamous and ridiculous.... Then their folly should be brought out into the light of day, and exhibited there in all its hideousness until they flee from it, hiding their heads in shame.... True enough, even a superstitious man has certain inalienable rights. He has a right to harbor and indulge his imbecilities as long as he pleases, provided only he does not try to inflict them upon other men by force.... But certainly he has no right to be protected against the free criticism of those who do not hold them.... He has no right to preach them without challenge.
It is now quite lawful for a Catholic woman to avoid pregnancy by a resort to mathematics, though she is still forbidden to resort to physics or chemistry.
Men become civilized not in proportion to their willingness to believe but in proportion to their readiness to doubt.
Theology: An effort to explain the unknowable by putting it into terms of the not worth knowing.
George Meredith (1828-1909)
The man or the country that fights priestcraft and priests is to my mind striking deeper for freedom than can be struck anywhere.
When I was quite a boy I had a spasm of religion which lasted six weeks.... But I never since have swallowed the Christian fable.
The man who has no mind of his own lends it to the priests.
Ah, what a dusty answer gets the soul
Cynicism is intellectual dandyism without the coxcomb's feathers.
Not till the fire is dying in the grate,
In my own experience, I have been amazed to see how unrealistic are the bases for political opinion in general. Only rarely have I found a person who has chosen any particular political party -- democratic or totalitarian -- through study and comparison of principles.
The tension of a mysterious danger is even more unbearable than danger itself. People hate the vacuum of an unknown situation. They want security. They even prefer war to the insecure expectation of a war with its threat of enemy surprise. This vague fearful expectation acts on their fantasies. They anticipate all kinds of mysterious dangers; they begin to provoke them. It is the evocation of fear and danger in order to escape the tension of insecurity.
The bulk of the totalitarian-minded in the democratic societies are men and women who are attracted to this destructive way of life for inner emotional reasons unknown to themselves.
Thomas Merton (1915-1968)
If I had a message to my contemporaries, I said, it was surely this: Be anything you like, be madmen, drunks, and bastards of every shape and form, but at all costs avoid one thing: success.... If you have learned only how to be a success, your life has probably been wasted. If a university concentrates on producing successful people, it is lamentably failing in its obligation to society and to the students themselves.
The danger of education, I have found, is that it so easily confuses means with ends. Worse than that, it quite easily forgets both and devotes itself merely to the mass production of uneducated gradtuates -- people literaly unfit for anything except to take part in an elaborate and completely artificial charade which they and their contemporaries have conspired to call "life".
The most awful tyranny is that of the proximate utopia where the last sins are currently being eliminated and where, tomorrow, there will be no sins because all the sinners have been wiped out.
Jean Meslier (1678-1733)
... inventions and purely human institutions...
You will think, perhaps, my dear friends, that among the great number of false religions there are in the world, my intention will be to except from their number at least Christianity, apostolic and Roman, which we profess and which we say is the only one to teach genuine truth, the only one which recognises and adores, as is required, the true God, and the only one which leads men on the path to salvation and eternal happiness. But disabuse yourself, my dear friends, disabuse yourself of that, and generally of all that your pious ignoramuses, or your mocking and self-interested priests and doctors, press you to say and to believe, under the false pretext of the infallible certitude of their supposedly sacred and divine religion.... Your religion is no less vain, no less superstitious than any other; it is not less false in its principles, not less ridiculous and absurd in its dogmas and maxims; you are no less idolaters than those you blame and condemn for idolatry; the idols of the pagans and of your religion are only different in names and figures. In a word, all that your priests and doctors preach to you with such eloquence touching the grandeur, excellence and sanctity of the mysteries that they make you adore, all that which they recount to you with such gravity, with the certainty of their claimed miracles and all that which is given out to you with such zeal and such assurance concerning the grandeur of the rewards of heaven, and concerning the terrifying punishments of hell, are no more at bottom than illusions, errors, dreams, fictions and impostures, invented firstly for political ends and ruses, continued by deceivers and impostors; finally received and believed blindly by the ignorant and rude common people, and then eventually maintained by the authority of the great, and the sovereigns of the earth, who have favoured the abuses, the errors, the superstition and the imposture which are upheld by their laws in order to hold the mass of men in yoke and make them do all that their rulers want.
To discover the true principles of morality, men have no need of theology, of revelation, or of gods. They need but common sense. They have only to look within themselves, to reflect upon their own nature, to consult their obvious interests, to consider the object of society and of each of the members who compose it, and they will easily understand that virtue is an advantage, and that vice is an injury to beings of the species.

The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord recalls the fact that Jesus Himself was presented in the Temple to the Father. Jesus was sent by the Father, who is the origin of all, and the culmination of Jesus' mission is to present everything back to the Father, after having destroyed every enemy. This Feast reminds us that we all belong to God, and to God alone. Therefore, nobody can own another human being, or have a veto power over another's rights, or decide whether another lives or dies. Nobody's choice takes precedence over anybody's life. That is why no individual or nation can permit the act of abortion. On the Feast of the Presentation, may we rededicate ourselves to God and to a respect for every human life, which belongs only to Him.

Trees for Wildlife Nature Education Program
Lake Metroparks' Trees for Wildlife is a nature education outreach program designed for all first graders in Lake County. Children discover the importance of trees through an interactive presentation of local wildlife and a visit from Woody, the friendly tree mascot of Trees for Wildlife, who shares a story and is then covered with animal puppets as students recall which animals use trees and how they are used. Woody raises his right branch as the students repeat the tree pledge and is often the recipient of thank you hugs and high fives. Children recite an adoption pledge with Woody the Tree and receive a certificate to care for their new tree.
Lake Metroparks began Trees for Wildlife with the purpose of sharing with first graders the importance of trees in their community. For more than 25 years the program continues to help students understand how plants, animals, the environment, and people are connected. To achieve this, students name some local animals that depend on trees for their survival, list ways trees benefit wildlife, and state ways people can help trees and wildlife. Additional activities for the students to complete before and after the program are provided to the teachers. Each child is presented with a hardy white spruce seedling and planting instructions.
Over 68,000 children have learned how plants, animals, the environment, and people are connected and received a tree to plant throughout the years the program has been presented. Each year, nearly 2,600 students will participate.
The program, offered free of charge to all Lake County schools, involves Lake Metroparks staff, volunteers, and community partnership with the Lubrizol Corporation, which began its sponsorship of the program in 1991. This sponsorship funds the purchase of the trees for the children. A grant from the Charles L. Pack Foundation four years ago allowed for the purchase of two professionally made inflatable tree costumes and laptop computers with projectors.

With Earth Day seeming way behind us, are you going to go back to your old habits? Chicago-area Girl Scouts are saying no, and are going "Forever Green." You can join in, too.
Girl Scouts of Greater Chicago and Northwest Indiana (GSGCNWI) are taking action for more permanent changes in habits and attitudes. The council is challenging Girl Scouts and others to take part in the "Girl Scouts Forever Green Community Acion Project."
Girl Scouts have a long history of getting involved and taking action in projects that impact our communities and our lives. This Forever Green project encourages Girl Scouts and anyone else who wants to join in to truly Go Green Forever by starting to establish new habits now.
For the next several weeks, GSGCNWI challenges Girl Scouts and Chicago-area community members to take action. Susan Rakis of GSCNWI says, "You don't have to be a Girl Scout to make a difference – this is a call to action for all members of our community."
The challenge culminates with the Forever Green Festival on Saturday, June 5, at the Allstate Arena, in conjuction with Chicago Sky. This Festival promises an afternoon full of eco-educational activities, free food, soft drinks, an appearance by Radio Disney, and great giveaways. Even more, included in the $20 registration packet is a ticket to see the WNBA's Chicago Sky!
Susan says, "Now I'm collecting as many old cell phones and batteries as I can for recycling. I'm bringing them to the Festival, where Motorola and other local partners will help with the proper disposal and/or recycling. With more than 65,000 TONS of electronic waste filling our landfills every year, we can all take part in making our world a bit greener."
The Girl Scouts are all over this Forever Green movement – they're on Facebook, Twitter, and will soon post videos on YouTube. Three teen Girl Scouts are blogging about going Forever Green, too.
Girl Scouts live by the Girl Scout Law, one part of which is to do their best to make the world a better place. Those are good words for everyone to think about.

In selecting a guitar or ukulele, there are a lot of factors to consider. From the wood combination to the body shape and down to minute details such as binding, purfling, bridge design, and bracing materials.
With our desire to educate people to help them in narrowing their choices in selecting an instrument, we are releasing the Maestro Guitar Guide, a compilation of everything we learned through the years of building guitars and ukuleles.
In the Maestro Guitar Guide, you will find more information why we do what we do.
What is the binding for? Why do we have different bridge designs? What is a good bracing material? What is a purfling? You can find all of this and everything else you need to know here.
If you have any questions or anything you want us to expound on, please feel free to contact us.
We hope that you will learn a lot and enjoy reading this new Guitar Guide.

SWBattlefront.net Code of Conduct [UPDATED 8/11/04]
It has occured to me, among many others, that these forums warrant a set of rules. The following are heavily based upon forums from other subsections around LucasForums, so a quick glance for the regulars should prove useful for oldbies, and a thorough-read is absolutely a must for newbies.
v.1.1, August 11th, 2004
The Rules of SWBF.net Forums
The Consequences for Disobeying the Rules
And the staff's favorite rule, which will be enforced heavily (:D)...
Don't be stupid.
Rules drafted by Jed, and perfected/edited/approved by the SWBattlefront.net faculty. We thank other communities such as GalacticBattlegrounds.com and JediKnight.net for having great rules to base these on.
For All to Read: Since the game is coming out soon...
There's a few things I want to make crystal clear with the community.
If there's anything you want seen done with the main site, just ask in the Feedback forum. I'll see it, the other staffers will see it, and we'll take things into consideration.
Yes, the site's content pages will be updated by the time the game is released.
And...it's better to get these things done ahead of time so if problems arise, I can just point back at this, point my head up at the sky and cackle like the devious guy I am. :D
ANY discussion of SW: Battlefront warez (including where to get one, saying you got it early via warez, condoning the warez, etc) will result in a (most likely temporary) ban.
"But Uncle Jed", you say, "why not?"
Plain and simple, kiddos. It's not right. We don't condone it, and we don't expect you to either.
Alright? Any questions, ask me or any of the other mods via PM, and I'll leave this thread open for questions for awhile. Don't spam the thread - I'll keep it questions only.
Happy Gaming, and let's get ready for Battlefront! :D
This isn't really about the thread per se, but how do you pronounce "warez"?
Is it like "where ehz" or "wheres"?
i say "war - ezz", cause it sounds cooler :p
if you see them topics about warez, dont reply and just report it. Don't feed the trolls.
Some good advice on how to handle certain situations:
Also something I noticed lately: double, triple and quadriple posts.
It is possible that when you make a post LF isn´t working properly, it seems kinda slow. At all times when posting a new reply and it takes too long to post, DO NOT hit "submit reply" several times! When you do, new entries are being made in the database and you get yourself a nice double, triple,... post.
My advice towards you all, be patient when posting or be quick but delete your duplicates afterwards yourself.
Thank you.
That is all ;)
Not really related to the topic, but just a small announcement:
THIS forum is for discussing Battlefront. If you need technical help, FPS cap on MP etc -> Technical Help.

Done with shooters, don't like the BF series, MW2's no dedicated servers + overpriced mappacks. BO screwed me over with a patch to fix lag that made the game unplayable on my machine, and again overpriced map packs, and unfortunatley I've never liked any of the Teryarch iterations of the game. So in short Game over!

Yes, I think many of us feels this way, especially those who came right from cod2 days. Many of us feels we are simply getting ripped of. There are many of my guys who bought Black Ops but did not bother getting the map packs because we feel that it's a rip off considering in the past it was freewe also know chances are the industry in many levels will be going to subscription models. Not much we really can do about it.
Currently I am looking at some other games that could be worth playing. But for now. .. sighs..

I hope the leak was wrong but Im not overly confident.
As much as it pisses me off I'll still be buying it. For someone that loves shooters and doesnt like BF there aren't many options. Certainly no options that my other mates will be playing.

i don't hold alot of confidence ... the server issue they should of answered when it was said no dedicated servers in MW3 .. they have been asked but wont say ... it could just be like BO servers all hosted by one company but them being cagey and them being IW make you think they are up to no good

It seems IW are being run by the same Peeps running this country :P
One stuff after another, Seriously .
Putting my dollars into BF3, at least i can can get into servers which i choose.
Waiting around for the Matchmaking in MW2 did my head in.

Being a BF fanboy, I take heart in this thread. CoD4 was a beautiful game. I found it lacked depth, but for a tight run and gun it set a new standard. Since then they've done nothing new. BF has not only caught up, in BC2 it surpassed it. And not just by a little bit. As stated elsewhere (Inflammatory statement warning) BF does everything CoD does, but the reverse isn't even remotely true
Re-balancing CoD4 over and over didn't help anything, just made the problem worse. And to then introduce matchmaking and no dedicated servers? Why would you do that? Console sales to undiscerning teens without any desire to play comp will keep the franchise alive (assuming BF3 doesn't kill it) but the rest of you are paying for that. I don't see much hope for CoD with this iteration.

I've played all the COD series. I'm really not excited about the prospect of this game or COD Elite. Shame as this was my favourite series of games but since PC gamers were placed in the second citizens category it's been downhill. I refuse to go through matchmaking again.
Can't believe I'm saying this but I may not buy this game and will move to BF.
In the absence of orders find something and kill it.

For several decades, Woody Allen has had the ability to make cogent comedies that deal with contemporary social issues. His 1960s movies exemplified the personal insecurities that stemmed from that turbulent decade; his 1970s films captured the challenges of male/female relationships as the women's movement was taking hold. With this year's "Blue Jasmine," recently released on Blu-ray and winner of three Academy Award nominations, we see his successful rendering of the consequences of 21st century financial carelessness.
In "Blue Jasmine," Jasmine (played by Cate Blanchett) moves from New York to San Francisco after her marriage ends. She is now in a financially diminished circumstance. In New York, she was a frivolous socialite who lived with her seemingly attentive rich husband (played by Alec Baldwin). But in San Francisco, she faces a reality check. She is now living with her much more appealing sister (played by Sally Hawkins) and her children in a small, funky apartment. Accustomed to high credit card limits, summer homes and posh penthouses, Jasmine reluctantly tries to develop some marketable skills.
"Blue Jasmine" has a great cast. Cate Blanchett gives the film's best performance. Jasmine is self-absorbed, and her financial crisis sends her on a downward spiral. She has a very snobby attitude toward her family and friends in San Francisco. Jasmine is an interesting character, and Blanchett nails the role. Her work earned her a well-deserved Oscar nomination. Sally Hawkins is also very good, playing Jasmine's much friendlier sister. She also earned an Academy Award nomination.
This movie has a very good screenplay. Woody Allen does an effective job using flashbacks to show Jasmine's life in New York.
"Blue Jasmine" is a very entertaining film that ranks among Woody Allen's best work of the last several years.

I take pride in my code and love nice, clean, well factored classes. Abstraction and encapsulation is really important to me and I maintain a consistent style throughout.
Investigation of the pros and cons that face business needs with software development, ties in nicely with my personal love of new and or proven technologies that directly benefit the business I work for.
It was in early 2008 I realised I had a talent for programming. I spent a lot of time reading books, blogs and manuals and asking for help when I got stuck.
Stack Overflow in particular has really helped me find the right answers to a lot of questions I had, and lead me in the right direction in terms of what to focus on, and the type of code I should be trying to write.
