An image that is not color balanced is said to have a color cast, as everything in the image appears to have shifted towards one color or another. Photos shot under incandescent lighting, as well as older photos, often have a yellow color cast. Outdoor photos tend to have a blue tint. Color balancing, also known as white balance (or grey or neutral balance) is the removal of this color cast.
As with many techniques in Photoshop, there are many was to fix a color cast problem. Here I will discuss several, starting with the easiest and finishing with the most precise white balance correction techniques.
Each method make use of an "adjustment layer" in the layers pallet, which is non-destructive, so there's no need to make a copy of the original image first. You can always come back to an adjustment layer and make changes, since the underlying original image remains intact.
First, click on the "Create new fill or adjustment layer" icon in the layers pallet, or from the menu, select Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels
You will see what is known as the photos histogram in the levels window, which represents the exposure of the image when the shot was taken. The first method is simply clicking the "Auto" button in Levels dialogue box. Sometimes this works incredibly well to improve the color balance. At other times it may appear to do nothing at all, but its always worth a try.
Before editing any image, looking at the histogram is a good place to start. Note if there are any "gaps" before or after the shape, as there is on the left side of the above image. Pull in any gaps just into the beginning of the histograms curve. This helps to correct a poorly exposed image.
To properly removing a color cast in a photo we must correct the "white balance" of the image.
Notice three "eye droppers" in the levels (or curves) dialogue box.They are used to select white, grey and black points within in your image.
When there is a color cast in an image, it is as if the image is "confused" about what is supposed to be white, black and neutral grey. We "fix" the problem by showing Photoshop where these points of reference can be found in the photograph with these eye dropper tools.
First, check your settings for the eye dropper tool in Photoshop.
Make sure it is not set on "Point Sample," which only evaluates a 1 pixel square. Here, the settings are changed to a 5 X 5 average pixel sample.
After opening an image in Photoshop, make an adjustment levels layer and select the white eye dropper tool in the dialogue box. Make sure that the "preview" box is checked.
This old Polaroid photo has developed a yellow color cast from age. Select the white eyedropper tool and look for what should be nearly pure white in the image. Then click on that area with the eyedropper tool.
Select the black eyedropper and click on what should be nearly pure black. Like magic, the color cast has been removed!
If we want to improve our accuracy in selecting the whitest and blackest areas in an image, we need a non-subjective method of making the choice. By choosing Image > Adjustments > Threshold, Photoshop can do just that for us. The dialogue box has an image that looks similar to a histogram, and the image turns into a black-and-white preview.
Our first objective is to find the darkest black portion of the image. Begin by sliding the middle slider toward the left.
The image will begin shifting toward all white. Stop sliding just before the entire image turns white (you may want to zoom in on whatever remains black).
As you hover over the remaining black area, the pointer will turn into an eyedropper. Hold down the SHIFT key, and click in the black area. A cross-hair mark will be made in that spot.
This marker becomes the black reference point we will be using later on to correct the white balance.
Now slide the threshold toward the right to find the lightest white within the image. Stop sliding just before the entire image turns black.
As you hover over the remaining white area, the pointer will turn into an eyedropper.
Hold down the SHIFT key, and click in the white area. A cross-hair mark will be made in that spot. This is the white reference point we will be using to correct the white balance.
Important: Click "cancel" (not OK) in the Threshold dialogue box, as we are done with it now.
Now that we have plotted the lightest white and the darkest black areas in our image and make a new adjustment layer (Layer > New Adjustment Layer > Levels), when we click on the white and black eyedropper tools in the levels dialogue box the points we made in the threshold dialogue box are there waiting for us. We can now make much more accurate selections to correct the white balance!
There are times when we need absolute perfection in color balance, and Photoshop has a way. The tool is the grey eyedropper in the middle of the layers adjustment pallet. The only problem is this: we must click on an area in the image that is EXACTLY neutral grey (50% black) to get perfect results.
Start by making a new layer and filling it with 50% grey: on the bottom of the layer pallet click the new layer icon. Next, in the top menu go to Edit > Fill > 50% Gray.
In the layer pallet, click the drop down menu containing the layer "blending modes" found on the upper left corner. Change the blending mode, which is set to "normal" by default, to "difference." Your image should now look like a color negative.
The Difference Layer mode inverts pixels containing 50% gray, turning them 100% black.
Select the eyedropper tool and begin hovering over the darkest pixels. Use the INFO pallet and look at the R-G-B values as you hover.
If we can find a pixel that is absolutely pure black (all three RGB channels have a value of 0) we know that is a 50% gray pixel, which is perfectly neutral grey. Finding one will enable use to make an absolutely precise color cast correction to our image. This layer will be discarded when we are finished.
Once youve located a pure black pixel, hold the shift key and click the eyedropper tool on the pixel. This adds a target marker, identifying it as a 50% gray pixel. We now discard the 50% grey layer with the "difference" blending mode – we don't need it anymore.
Now we make the correction:
add a "Levels" adjustment layer by clicking the adjustment layer button at the bottom of the layers pallet. When a selection of adjustment layer options appears, select "Levels."
In the levels dialogue box, click the middle eyedropper icon (the "set grey point" dopper) and move the cursor over to your image.
The 50% grey marker we made earlier is there waiting for us. Zoom in very close to be sure the correct pixel is selected. and click on the on the marker we made earlier with the grey eyedropper. The color cast will be removed with absolute precision.

SANTIAGO, Chile -- SANTIAGO, Chile (AP) — Chile's government is issuing a health alert for the port of Valparaiso, where thousands of tons of trash have been piling up for nearly three weeks amid a strike by garbage collectors.
Health Minister Jaime Manalich said Thursday that the measure seeks to protect residents of Valparaiso from a strike "that carries huge health risks." The work stoppage began on Oct. 16, and the government began negotiations two weeks later. By that time, the snaking streets and steep hills of Valparaiso had become clogged with trash.

NH man returns to state to face burglary counts
Brandon Mull to be arraigned in mid-September
Police say a man in Oklahoma City has turned himself in on charges that he burglarized multiple homes in Hanover, N.H.
Police say 23-year-old Brandon Mull of Claremont was arrested Tuesday in Charlestown on two counts of burglary. The break-ins happened on July 30.
Police said their investigation identified a vehicle registered to a woman in Claremont, and was later connected to Mull. A warrant was issued for him on Aug. 2.
The investigation determined Mull left the state and was believed to be in Oklahoma. Police said Mull learned of the warrant for his arrest, returned to New Hampshire, and cooperated with authorities.
He's scheduled to be arraigned on Sept. 19.

My name is, as my username suggests, Aaron. I'm 17 and reside in Tampa, Florida. I currently only compose during my free time because I have to keep a balance between writing and school work. Usually due to incompetence, I have many incomplete music files with only a handful finished. I hardly receive an opportunity to play my own music due to size issues or difficulty, so all recordings thus far are computer generated.

News 12 at 6 o'clock / Thursday, June 28, 2012
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- You'll start hearing a lot more about staying healthy as the city of Augusta pushes a new wellness plan.
The city of Augusta approved a new in-house clinic Thursday night.
"Yes, just because you host a golf tournament and a walk once a year doesn't mean you have wellness plan," said Mayor Pro Tem Joe Bowles.
The city wants to step in before workers land in the ER, calling a healthy workforce a more productive workforce.
"It's been pathetic to say we had a wellness plan," Bowles said.
The Augusta Commission moved to approve in-house clinics during a meeting on Thursday, part of a new wellness plan for the city.
The idea is to limit hospital visits.
"Well, it's a great example -- the employers in this case, such as the city, have to think up innovate ways to get more preventative and primary care services," said David Hefner with GHS Medical Center.
Keep in mind, GHSU alone will spend $120 million for electronic records and the city of Augusta has approved spending $500,000 to $600,000 on an in-house clinic to save costs.
"If we're going to stay fully insured by Blue Cross Blue Shield I think this is a waste of taxpayer's money," Bowles said.
The mayor pro tem says the only way an in-house clinic would work is if the city moves to a self-insured plan.
"Instead of going to the emergency room or to see a physician, it would save costs to see a physician's assistant that is on site," Bowles said.
This just as local hospitals plan for more expenses and more patients due to health care reform.

U.K. Refinery Thinks Small to Survive
As Asian and Middle Eastern refiners put down big bucks for huge, modern plants to meet rising demand, a window into one refinery in Europe's struggling fuels business shows how some are thinking smaller to survive the eastward shift in demand and output growth.
Employees at Essar Energy Stanlow refinery in western England want to avoid the fate of former peers at the Coryton refinery across the country, which closed last summer after its Switzerland-based owner Petroplus Holdings–once Europe's largest independent refiner–filed for insolvency. Just seven refineries remain open in the U.K., down from 18 in the late 1970s.
Essar says the Stanlow refinery's comparatively small initiatives will add up to about $3 more of gross profit margin per barrel of oil refined by next spring–bringing an extra $225 million a year of earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization.
The company has improved Stanlow's profit margins by installing a natural gas pipeline to replace fuel oil as the primary fuel source for boilers providing steam to the refinery; equipping the plant to process cheaper crudes; and offering cash rewards to employees who find sensible ways to cut costs, said Stanlow site manager Jon Mason. Last year, it also outsourced ownership of Stanlow's crude inventories to a bank for a fee, enabling it to pare its debt.
The refinery is more nimble since Essar bought it from Royal Dutch Shell in July, 2011, because the executives at Essar's India headquarters believe no savings project is too small and treat the site as a profit generator–unlike some major integrated oil firms, which see refining as more of a cost center and focus instead on more lucrative oil exploration and production, said Volker Schultz, chief executive of Essar Oil (UK) Ltd., the subsidiary that runs Stanlow.
Stanlow mechanical engineer Tim Betteridge has trimmed the down time needed for maintenance on a sulfur-removing unit while improving safety, said Andrew Turpin, Essar Energy's head of media relations. This and other employee-generated measures have trimmed a maintenance-related refining outage by more than five days from the best previous time, saving Essar between $500,000 and $1 million a day in down time, which is repeatable every time a shutdown is needed, Turpin said.
Paul Gordon, a power and control maintenance technician, has saved £22,000 ($33,440) by finding cheaper lighting fixtures on the open market that are safe for use in overhauling tanks on the site, Turpin said.
Karl Jackson, an operator, generated savings on additives for diesel and gasoline by devising a simple way to recover residual volumes from one container when switching to another. The recovered additive is worth £9,000 each year, Turpin said.
Meanwhile, the Stanlow team is looking for more small ways to improve profitability. Mr. Schultz and Mr. Mason repeated a well-worn mantra that they share with employees: "Sustainably safe and reliable, and profitable and growing."

Shipyard Worker Used Plywood for Survival
Two weeks ago, Jimmie Hutchinson spent $500 to lay 15 pieces of 3×8 plywood across the wooden ceiling beams of his single-story home. Doing so allowed the 53-year-old shipyard worker to walk around his attic crawl space and stash away boxes of clutter.
Little did he know then that the functional home improvement helped save his life and three others.
Around 2 a.m. Wednesday, Mike Easley fetched something from his pickup truck parked in Mr. Hutchinson's driveway. Mr. Easley, a former coworker of Mr. Hutchinson's in the shipyards, lived in a trailer with his wife in Braithwaite and had sought refuge in his friend's brick home. As the wiry-thin Mr. Easley slid into his truck, he couldn't hear his friend screaming to get back inside.
After sliding out of his truck, Mr. Easley was surprised to have landed in a puddle of water. As if a giant bucket of water had been tossed out onto Plaquemines Parish, the water was gushing by and rising
"What happened?" Mr. Easley screamed.
"Hey man! Let's go. We gotta get up to the attic!" Mr. Hutchinson responded, standing from the front door.
Within 15 minutes, the water level had soared to four feet. By 5 a.m., the water had flooded the entire house: eight feet high. Mr. Easley, Mr. Hutchinson and their wives huddled in the attic crawl space. They had also each grabbed their dogs, but Mr. Hutchinson's cat—named Silver, for its fur color—was unaccounted for during the scramble up the attic's drop-down stairs.
Without the 3×8 sheets of plywood, Mr. Hutchinson and the others would've had to evacuate to the roof or sit on the ceiling's floor beams.
The water got so close Mr. Hutchinson could open the crawl-space and touch it. "I was just hoping the water would stop," said Mr. Hutchinson, whose skin is darkly tanned from working on the shipyards.
By Wednesday mid-morning the water had started to recede. During one peak at the water level from the attic, the sofa, nearly jammed against the ceiling, had spun toward him. And there he spotted Silver.
Mr. Easley and Mr. Hutchinson grabbed the sofa and dragged Silver to safety.
"For Katrina, we never had water in our house," said Mr. Hutchinson, explaining why he hadn't left Plaquemines Parish, even though local officials had ordered mandatory evacuations. Hearing that Isaac was a Category One storm, Mr. Hutchinson decided he'd ride it out.
At 1 p.m. central time—some 11 hours after climbing up to the attic—two voluntary firefighters arrived on a 20-feet-long boat. Mr. Hutchinson clutched the axe he always stores in his attic and cleared an escape hole for the four people and three pets. He was taken to a ferry and eventually arrived at a YMCA that was converted into a makeshift shelter in nearby Belle Chasse, La.
He plans on staying at his father-in-law's house in St. Bernard Parish. Even after the flood waters dissipate, Mr. Hutchinson knows he has a long process in rebuilding his home. But standing in front of the YMCA shelter, his blue work T-shirt and New Orleans ball cap still drenched, he said he wouldn't forget to re-install the 3×8 sheets of plywood for the attic.
"I wanted to use them as extra storage, but I ended up using that plywood for survival. That's pretty neat," he said.

Starting WGU RN-BSN - page 6
Tentatively accepted to the RN-BSN through WGU's online program. Lalalalala yay for me! Nervous as hell about going back to school....but its gotta be done! Anyone have any experience with WGU?... Read More
0Aug 4, '12 by sflip59I am starting my prerequisits for nursing at GSU. I already have a bachelor's degree from over 10 years ago as well as a recent MBA with 10 years of work experience in finance. However, I have 3.3 undergraduate GPA from many years ago with some poor science grades my freshman year which was way back in 1997. I am confident that I can get mostly As on my prerequisits so I am curious as to how GSU calculates their "program" GPA because the figures of accepted applicants seem pretty high at 3.8 so it makes me think that they typically count the core B, C and E and then mainly the prerequisits listed on the website for the ACE program. Just curious. Thanks in advance.

1Aug 9, '12 by klone, MSN, RNQuote from DReinerMBAYes, necessary prereqs, such as Statistics and various other general ed courses would transfer if you've already taken them elsewhere. The only classes that would absolutely NOT transfer, regardless, are the 7 core nursing courses of the program.Anyone know if one already has a BS and Master's in non-nursing area's, do the credits transfer?

0Aug 9, '12 by DReinerMBAThank you for your reply.
0Dec 30, '12 by NSimmonsI have combed through this thread and have not found the answer to this question:
Has anyone who graduated from WGU with a BSN ever transferred to a traditional college with the expectation to complete a MSN?
I would really like to know the answer to this question. I want to eventually get my masters. I know I can keep going to WGU to get a masters, but I don't want to get an online masters degree.
0Dec 30, '12 by klone, MSN, RNIn another thread, someone said they were accepted into a few different CRNA programs after obtaining their BSN through WGU.
I know several people who have been accepted into MSN programs elsewhere after getting their BSN through WGU. A lot depends on what type of MSN program you're interested in, and what their prerequisites are, and how competitive they are. WGU's pass/fail grading system means that their transcripts will translate to a 3.0 GPA, which might be more difficult for a highly competitive MSN program.

Dear Abby: As a father of two teenage daughters, I have a question about couples living together. Do relationships that start this way have a higher failure rate than those that don't? What should be considered when a young girl has the "living together" question presented to her by a young man? And most important, what can I as a father do to help my daughters make an intelligent decision about this, other than just "load my shotgun" (LOL)?
As always, thank you for broadening my wisdom horizon and giving me examples of solid advice from which both my and my family's life have been enriched. — Longtime Fan in Ohio
Dear Longtime Fan: It depends upon whether the couple living together are engaged to be married and their level of education. From what I've read, the higher the level of education, the more stable the couple will be. If the question is presented to your daughters, ideally you will have gotten to know the young man, and the relationship will have developed beyond the casual stage.
However, I cannot stress strongly enough the importance of your girls being independent, self-supporting and completing their education before they decide to do this. One of the most common reasons women remain in unhappy marriages/relationships is the fear they can't survive on their own.
Dear Abby is written by Abigail Van Buren, also known as Jeanne Phillips, and was founded by her mother, Pauline Phillips. Write Dear Abby at DearAbby.com or P.O. Box 69440, Los Angeles, CA 90069.

She will be running in the yearly Huntington Beach half-marathon on Sunday to raise money for Kids Come First Community Clinic in Ontario. But she's also running to show that an active lifestyle is important and will add years to your life.
"If I don't walk the walk, no pun intended, then who is going to take me seriously when I talk the talk about the benefits of exercise and making healthier choices regarding their nutrition and lifestyle?" said Quam, who is the nonprofit clinic's medical director.
"I prefer not to use the word diet because that is mentally a short-term goal, but instead I speak of incorporating healthy eating/healthy meals, snacks, hydration as part of their day meal plans. I encourage the patients and parents, when presented with unhealthy food choices to say I don't eat that which empowers them mentally as it gives the feeling of being their decision, rather than I can't eat that which seems to have a negative and restrictive impact upon us mentally."
Quam is a doctor so she knows the professional tack to take with her patients, but she's also a person who has her own medical challenges. She has been an insulin dependent diabetic for 30 years. She decided three years ago to practice what she preaches. She began exercising more and running.
"The benefits for myself that I have noticed as a result of exercising include improved blood pressure, improved blood glucose control and decreased insulin use.
Healthy lifestyles also help decrease the risk of morbidity and illness associated with being obese which include high cholesterol, diabetes and heart disease.
"For kids in particular it is important to eat right and get an hour a day of activity to optimize growth and development both physical and intellectual," she said.
"And if you can't run, then walk or dance or hop or skip and jump."
Again this year she is heading an effort to raise money for the Kids Come First Community Clinic, which serves children who either are underinsured or not insured at all.
"I was hoping that it would become a yearly fundraising opportunity for Kids Come First because we did not have a previous recurring fundraising event organized by the clinic," she said.
"After the initial year when I ran the event solo, my hope was to inspire and encourage others to run/walk in this race for the cause, our cause."
It worked. The first year she raised $10,000. Last year, she was joined by friends, family and colleagues and together they raised $8,000. They're at it again this year.
The 2013 team includes Beverly Speak, Kids Comes First chief executive officer; Leilani Ligans, a clinic volunteer; Jennifer Quach, a UC Riverside student and clinic volunteer; and Lisa Tjan and Anette Keagy, teachers.
The clinic needs financial help. Quam suggested having individuals or organizations host "mini" marathons for children who get pledges and then donate to the clinic.
For information about donating to the clinic or to the clinic's running team, call 909-673-9125.

Into the Deep
Sixa grabbed Prigdorak and headed toward the great doors of the coliseum. Pausing for a moment to grab his assistant, who was standing in front of a shop named �Da Gap�, the three hurried through the great doors and down the muddy street along the coliseum wall which soon changed to old stone buildings. This area was the opposite direction of Da Slums, but it had a distinctly older architecture and character. Skidding to a halt in front of a dark alleyway between two old stone buildings, Sixa turned to see if they were followed. Seeing that the coast was clear, Sixa pulled the camera grot and Prigdorak down the alleyway to a garbage strewn courtyard.
Blinking in the light, Prigdorak could see that they had come to a secluded entrance to the coliseum. Several years worth of wrappers and trash had been blown away from the coliseum and piled up along the ivy-covered walls. A river of putrid-smelling sludge tumbled out from a cracked drain pipe that originated somewhere deep in the coliseum complex. The sludge flowed through the middle of the courtyard and snaked along the foundations of buildings to an unknown destination.
�Ha, yer boss knows how ta live it up! Nuttin but da finest fer dat Goomb git, eh?� called Sixa with a sarcastic smile.
�Oh goodness! What a mess! We could hold a cleaning party and have tea! We would be giving back to this community and really be green. Wouldn�t that be super, guys?� burbled Sixa�s assistant.
The little grot skipped away from his companions and waved his arms dramatically as he described how they could have an �extreme make over� party in the courtyard. Prigdorak grimaced and began to draw his choppa.
�Hold it, you!� hissed Sixa to Prigdorak. �Ize needs im fer dat interview! Dat Fungus and his boys did this to em. Now Iz haff ta deal width em. He�ll be fine. Follow meez!�
Grabbing the gibbering grot, Sixa pushed through some ivy and into a dark entryway. The entrance lead to a dark concourse with ancient paintings of humans triumphing over greenskins, undead and other forces of evil.
�Da umies used ta use as a secret entrance for der big bosses. Since da greenskins moved in, weez don�t use dis area at all!� explained Sixa as he walked quickly down the dark concourse towards a set of ancient oak doors. �Through dere and a little more walkin. Uh oh!�
Six large orcs emerged from the shadows with choppas drawn. The largest of the six stood in front of the three and bared his yellowed teeth.
�Oi! Who iz dat dere? Ah, Prigdorak! Iz dat you? Took ya long enuff. Who ya bringin ta uz? Oh, iz dem little reporta gits!� roared the leader.
�Shove it, Graz,� muttered Prigdorak. �Da boss wants ta see uz, so let uz through.�
Graz�s brow wrinkled in confusion. �Eh, wot? Da boss didn wants ta talk to nobody lass time I heard.�
�Da boss sent me ta do da speshal�.project....an now iz time ta bring dis ere git to em. Das my orders, so youz wants me ta tell da Boss dat youz didn let me bring em? Wot will he do ta youz when hez heres dat?� quizzed Prigdorak.
Graz frowned. Prigdorak had a point, and if the boss wanted to talk to this git, who was Graz to stop them. Besides, Graz had been on the receiving end of the personalized steel plated knuckles before, and he did not relish the prospect of feeling them again. Stepping aside, Graz motioned to the party to pass.
Prigdorak nodded at the security team and pushed open the doors. The passage lead to a long spiral stairway that seemed to stretch into the very deepest foundations of the coliseum. They began their long descent, and soon the air grew musty and dank.
As they reached the bottom of the stairs, they passed into a great hall through another set of massive doors. Entering the hall, they stopped to observe the swirling, raucous activity. Hordes of Dust Devil regulars and Booma boyz were busy constructing a massive object, and others were inspecting a glowing forge. Behind all of this activity, the Shaman Maggathag leaned on his withered staff and oversaw the entire operation with a crazed grin on his face. Even at this distance, Sixa could see swirls of crackling WAAAGH energy radiate from the shaman. Prigdorak strode across the hall and stood before Maggathag. Sixa and his assistant walked behind Prigdorak, hoping they would be unnoticed until the right moment.
�Ah, Prigdorak, I see you have completed your assignment, and I see you have returned with�.friends,� Maggathag said quietly. He raised his hand as Sixa and Prigdorak began to explain. �Quiet. I have foreseen your return. Come.�
The shaman walked opened another set of doors and entered a smaller, dark chamber. There sat a large orc on a makeshift throne. The orc wore an imposing mask and did not stir when the small party entered and approached.
�Iz dat Goomb? Iz he�..?� questioned Sixa.
�Yes, that is Goomb. No, he is not dead,� replied Maggathag as he stepped forward and turned to face the small group. �He is simply�.preparing his mind and body for what is to come.�
Prigdorak, Sixa and the assistant stared at the shaman, looking for further explanation. Maggathag smirked and cleared his throat. �You see, while da Boss believes in certain taktikal methods in beating his enemies, I have other methods. I like a little magic and something else.�
�What�s that?� asked Sixa.
�What the umies call: science,� replied Maggathag. �Come and see.�

A multitude of apologies, the move has turned out to be much, much more complicated than expected. One thing after another going wrong. Still, seems like I'm on top of things now so I'll try and get this done this week.

The four greenskins entered a short passage and entered another room. This room was littered with bubbling pots, rusted metal bits, gems, skulls and a pile of weapon. In the center of the room stood a solitary oak table with parchment scattered above, below and around the table. As the four greenskins approached the table, a diminutive goblin entered the room.
�Science, my fellow greenskins,� began Maggathag, �Is da study of things. From the dirt we walk on, to the hot fires of the forge to the points of light in the sky, shamen like me study dese things and try to make sense out of it all.�
Looking up, Maggathag saw the blank faces staring back and him. Shaking his head and turning abruptly, the shaman began to scatter the parchment in an attempt to look for a particular piece. The goblin that had entered the room quietly stood in a shadow, watching the group with a grin on his face. Finally, the goblin spoke, �Eh, boss? If youz ur lookin fer da big plans, youz won find it. I needed it to make sum ajust-e-ments.�
Maggathag stopped his search and smirked at the goblin. His eyes shimmered with dangerous WAAAGH energy, and all other greenskins stepped back. They knew that shamen could literally erupt without warning.
�What�..adjustments?� quizzed Maggathag.
�Oi, oi! S�all right dere, boss. Check em out! You�ll see! You�ll see!� the goblin chanted as he brought more parchment to the table, dropped them and stepped quickly back into the shadows. Maggathag looked at the parchment for a few minutes while he stroked his grizzled chin. Finally after several moments of uncomfortable silence, Maggathag croaked, �Yer sure about this? You test it several times?�
�Um, yeah!" The goblin gulped nervously and squeaked as he counted on one hand, "Lemme see�.one, twos, couple mores�.yep! Yeah boss! Weez tested it sum!�
Maggathag�s gaze bore into the diminutive goblin, seeming to search the little gits� soul. Mumbling inaudibly under his breath, Maggathag nodded and motioned the other greenskins to approach. As they drew near, he pointed at the goblin and stated,�Dis here is E-VilKen Weasil. He is the leader of Da Dust Devil�s Flying Circus.�
�Yep,� he beamed, �I iz da leader uv da air force uv dis WAAAGH!�
�Doomdiver,� grumbled Prigdorak under his breath. �He somehow survives all uv iz flights. Wait til he brings out da zoggin scarf.�
E-Vilken stepped into the flickering torchlight and smiled. Underneath his cloak was a sharp blood red and khaki uniform. Around his neck was tied a white silk scarf, and he wore a leather helmet with odd straps that buttoned across his chin.
�At yer surface,� E-Vilken said as he saluted awkwardly.
�Right,� answered Maggathag. �Well, we have discovered something after the last joust. E-Vilken and his boyz conduct test flights prior to da boss going up, you know, to gauge the winds and thermals. The last time we jousted, he and his boys found something interesting. Lookee here.�
The shaman pointed at the parchment, which had a crude layout of the coliseum drawn on it. The three greenskins could see the perimeter of the stadium, squig pens, the merchant tents, the stables and the stands. One the western stands, someone had scribbled �pink wearin funbutt gits ere.� The stands had several rough dashed circles drawn around them with the words �anti-thermal begins dere. Zero ta 1000.�
Maggathag stepped back and smiled. �There you have it. That�s how we will win!�
�Yes, by Gork! YES!� roared E-Vilken Weasle as he pounded his fist into the palm of his other hand.
The three greenskins looked at the shaman and E-Vilken with confused looks on their faces. The shaman looked back at them and his smile faded. Again, his eyes radiated WAAAGH energy.
�Don�t you see? It is an ANTI-thermal!� explained Maggathag impatiently. �You see, dem pink funbutts�..the air�..they suck so much that they create an ANTI-thermal. E-Viken and his lads found, after several test flights, that it spirals downward from 1000 feet to the stadium floor. Now, look at this!"
Maggathag pulled out another parchment that showed a similar diagram. This time, the circles highlighted the eastern stands where Da Dust Devils and Goomb loyalists sat.
�You see, for each actshun there is an equal and opposite reactshun. Our boyz are creating pure WAAAGH power with their energy and hatred of the funbutts, and this has created a speshal thermal. If da boss plays this right, he can get a jump on Funbutt while trapping that git in an anti-thermal. Funbutt's mangy beast will flounder in the vortex and eventually crash into his own stands, killing all dem pink wearing funbutts! The first seconds of the flight are critical!�
Prigdorak and E-Vilken Weasle clapped and whooped at this explanation. Sixa and his assistant stood in dumbfounded silence. Even though Goomb was in a trance and couldn�t be interviewed, Sixa figured that he had one hell of a story. Now, to get out of here and broadcast it�.
A large cloaked figure blocked the doorway to the room that E-Vileken had used earlier, and Maggathag's smile faded as he shuddered. Clearing his throat and motioning to the door that the four had entered earlier, he quietly said to the group, "All right, you gits, it is time for final preparations before the joust. I have to ask you all to leave.�

Haha, this must be a mistake - a funny post from Broomb. Although surely the super thermal above the Big Broombas is from all the hot air they generate with their rubbish jokes and talk of gold plated accesories.
Won't help you one bit but I enjoyed this one - my particular favourites were Goblin airforce git with his scarf and Science as the 'study of things'.
PS: Don't think I haven't noticed you throwing your mod powers about and editing my posts!!!!!
If I was going to edit your posts, little Funbutt, I would simply go on here and DO it and sign my name to it. Of course, I would use PINK lettering, but having no such choice, I will use.....RED.
Of course, that would be the case if I was messing with your posts, which I have not been....until now.

My apologies I can't think what came over me when I signed off as Goomb two posts up. If it was me pretending to be you I'd have definitely signed off differently (see above)

Just south of Williamsport there is a road
Named for a certain kind of biting pest.

Its one much itchier than all the rest.
On finding the road, you travel till the end;
Near a water filtration plant youll park your ride.
Hike with the Bluebird; a mile or less youll wend
When you reach old growth youve found the place Box hides.
Find Hickory on left, then rotting tree
Cut log on right, 7 steps till path is blocked
Pace 18 to quad trunk at 260 degrees
Here is where youll find the treasure docked.
Your box is in the west trunk, way down low;
Stamp in, seal up, and on your way you go.
Trail is a lovely 2.7 mile easy-to-moderate hike. After finding the box, we encourage you to follow the rest of the trail; it will take you back to your starting point. Youll find many unique features and historical elements as you continue.
***Please use discretion, snap lid tightly and replace securely. Box contains stamp and log; BYO ink and pen. A pace is two steps (left footfall, right footfall = one pace). We appreciate your comments regarding the condition of the box and its contents.***

April 27, 2009
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is making plans in
case the swine flu spreads and medication is needed in bulk.
Health officials are setting dosing and distribution
requirements for Tamiflu and Relenza and authorizing the
distribution of a swine flu diagnostic test to public health and
other qualified labs.
President Barack Obama is urging calm, saying the virus is "not
a cause for alarm." At the same time, the government is putting
steps in place as the number of Americans believed to be infected
grows. Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano says officials
are preparing as if the outbreak will blossom into a pandemic.
The White House defended the administration's ability to respond
to a crisis while it still lacks a health and human services
secretary, a surgeon general and a CDC director. It says with
Napolitano filling in the gap, the administration "is in no way
hindered or hampered."

After posting his sixth power-play goal of the year on Tuesday night against Chicago, Shea Weber has now posted five points (1g-4a) in his last five games.
• The effort moved Weber into a tie for second in team scoring (8g-9a-17pts). Five of his eight goals have come in the first period.
• Tuesday night's goal was also Weber's franchise-leading 55th career power-play marker.
• Weber is tied with Torey Krug (BOS) for third in goals among blueliners (8). Nashville's captain is the only defenseman in the League to lead his team in goals.
• The Sicamous, B.C., native has posted 11 power-play points (6g-5a), good for seventh among League defensemen (tie), while his six power-play goals lead all blueliners (tie).
• The Preds are 7-1-0 when their captain finds the back of the net.
• Weber has led Nashville in ice time in 19 of the last 25 games he's played to rank fifth in the League in the category (26:21).
• Nashville's captain is tied with Kevin Klein for the team lead and ranks 16th in the League in blocked shots (69), in addition to ranking second on the team in hits (76).
Roman Josi is riding a five-game point streak (2g-4a-6pts) after posting the primary assist on Shea Weber's goal against the Blackhawks. Josi's current streak ties his career long (March 15-23, 2013). It is also the longest streak by a Predator this season. The Bern, Switzerland native has led the team in ice time in two of the last five games, and ranks second on the team and among the League's Top 25 defensemen in the category (24:43).
• Since becoming a father for the first time on Nov. 12, Gabriel Bourque has posted nine points (3g-6a) in the last 13 games he's played.
• Matt Cullen has posted nine points (3g-6a) in his last 15 games. Cullen also ranks among the League's top face-off men (eighth, 57 percent), winning 227-of-398 draws.
• After posting four goals in his last 11 outings, Mike Fisher is now tied with Patric Hornqcist for second in team goal scoring. Five of his seven goals have come on Bridgestone Arena ice. The Peterborough, Ont., native also leads all Preds forwards in ice time (18:44) – more than two minutes higher than the next closest forward (David Legwand, 16:24) – and blocked shots (27), while he ranks third in hits (53).
• With four points (2g-2a) in his last four games, Paul Gaustad has more than doubled his points output from his previous 30 games, and has moved within two points of hitting the 200-point plateau for his career. The Portland, Ore., native has won 345-of-573 face-offs (60.2 percent), to rank second the League in the category (minimum 500 draws).
• Seth Jones leads all first-year players in average time on ice (22:09). The Plano, Texas native ranks among the League's Top 25 first-year players in points (3g-7a-10pts), assists, goals and shots (48), while ranking third in blocked shots (55), fourth in power-play points (5) and sixth in power-play goals (2) among rookies.
• David Legwand has five points (1g-4a) in his last four games, and 18 points (5g-13a) in his last 22 outings to lead the team with 25 points (6g-19a) in 34 games. Fifteen (5g-10a) of Legwand's 25 points have come away from the Music City.
• Eric Nystrom is one goal shy of matching his output from last season (7g in 48gp). Nystrom leads the team in hits and ranks among the League's Top 25 forwards in the category (83).
• Craig Smith has eight points (3g-5a) in his last 12 outings. The Madison, Wis., native is fourth in team scoring (6g-10a-16pts) and second shots (77).
• Viktor Stalberg has four points (2g-2a) in his last six games after posting a multi-point game (1g-1a) on Saturday night vs. San Jose.
• The Predators are 3-0-0 in road games against the Atlantic Division.
• Nashville is 16-3-2 when scoring more than one goal, and 14-0-1 when scoring three or more goals.
• Seven of Nashville's 16 wins this season have come by one goal – it is 7-0-3 in one-goal games.
• The Predators are 13-1-2 when they score first this season.
• The Preds' penalty kill ranks 10th in the League (83.9 percent), and has allowed the eighth-fewest power-play goals (18). Nashville's road penalty kill ranks among the League's best (eighth; 85.2 percent). Nashville's penalty kill has allowed just five goals in its last 46 times shorthanded (in 15 games).
• The Preds have not allowed a shorthanded goal since March 21, 2013, when Calgary scored two shorthanded goals – a span of 52 games. Nashville is the only team in the League not to have allowed a shorthanded goal this season.
• Nashville ranks second in the League in team face-off win percentage this season (54.3 percent). The Preds have been better than 50 percent in the face-off circle in 28 of their 34 games.
• The Predators have had seven rookies appear in the lineup this season. They had eight rookies appear last season, and 11 during the 2011-12 campaign. Nashville is also one of two teams in the NHL to field multiple teenagers in its lineup (Filip Forsberg, 19 and Seth Jones, 19), only Buffalo has had more teenagers on its roster this season (four).
LAST TIME OUT: Nashville 1, Chicago 3 at Bridgestone Arena
• With Shea Weber's first-period power-play goal, the Preds have scored four power-play goals in their last three games. After going one-for-seven, the Nashville power play remains among the League's best (ninth, 19.6 percent).
• The loss was Nashville's first in regulation when scoring a power-play goal (13-1-1).
• Nashville's 17 first-period shots were a season high for the team in the opening 20 minutes, and tied for the second-highest in any period by the Predators this season (19; third period, Oct. 31 at Phoenix).
• Half of Nashville's 28 shots came on its seven power play opportunities.
• Mike Fisher led all skaters with a season-high seven shots. Five of Fisher's seven shots came in the first period, tying the single period high. That total was just two off his career-high nine shots last posted on Dec. 8, 2008 against Florida. It also tied for most by a Predator this season.
• Carter Hutton, who celebrates his 28th birthday on Thursday, turned aside 24-of-27 shots. He is now 7-4-1 with a 2.79 goals-against average and a .911 save percentage in 15 appearances.
• Nashville won the face-off battle by a margin of 34-19 (64 percent). Paul Gaustad led the team after going nine-for-11 on the dot (82 percent). David Legwand (72 percent) and Matt Cullen (67 percent) were also better than 60 percent in the circle.
• The combined 12 special teams opportunities matched the season high for a Preds game. Nashville came into the game averaging 10.7 penalty minutes per game (11th), while Chicago had averaged 9.1 penalty minutes per game (fifth).
• Nashville allowed multiple power-play goals for the first time since Oct. 26 in 6-1 loss against St. Louis.
The Nashville Predators head to Tampa Bay to take on the Lightning at Tampa Bay Times Forum for just the eighth time ever and just the third time in the last seven seasons. Nashville is 2-3-(2)-0 in their seven previous trips to Tampa.
These teams last met up on Oct. 27, 2011 at Bridgestone Arena, when Mike Fisher scored two goals and added an assist to lead Nashville to a 5-3 win. Patric Hornqvist and Nick Spaling also scored for the Preds, while Pekka Rinne made 29 saves to record his fourth victory of the season. Steven Stamkos had two goals and Teddy Purcell had one for the Lightning.
In their last trip to Tampa Bay on Oct. 24, 2010, Anders Lindback, now with the Lightning, made 42 saves to lead Nashville to its first victory in Tampa since its inaugural season, 4-3.
Craig Smith (2a) and Spaling (1g-1a) both posted multi-point outings in the last meeting. Spaling, who made his NHL debut against Tampa on Dec. 15, 2009, has four points (1g-3a) in three career meetings, while Smith has two points in one game against Tampa… Mike Fisher posted three points (2g-1a) in the last meeting between these teams, and he leads all Preds with 24 points (12g-12a) in 33 career games against the Lightning… Matt Cullen has posted 23 points (7g-16a) in 50 career games against Tampa… Paul Gaustad has posted his second-highest point total against an individual team with 16 points (6g-10a) in 26 games against the Lightning.
December 19, 1998: Bordeleau and Krivo record four-point games in Vancouver
Thirty games into franchise history, Sebastien Bordeleau and Sergei Krivokrasov each hit a scoring milestone that has been surpassed by only two Predators in the 15 years since. In a 6-4 win over the Vancouver Canucks at GM Place, the pair notched four-point efforts, both registering two goals and two assists.
Nashville entered the game with just three power-play goals in 55 chances on the road that season, but converted three of four chances with the man-advantage that night. "Krivo" had one of the three, while Andrew Brunette and Denny Lambert pitched in the other two. The trio of power-play goals helped Nashville storm back from a 3-1 deficit..
"A great win and a great comeback," Krivokrasov said. "Tonight was very important for us because it gives us some confidence – something we've been lacking recently. We battled hard and we got the result we needed."
Both of Bordeleau's tallies came in the third frame, including the eventual game-winner at 3:26, to cap off the historic evening.

This is the first time I've used an iMac since I had Jake's old clunker at Jacksonville, FL, during the summer of '04. I appreciated the clunker then and I appreciate this computer now.
Coming at you Live! from Seattle, heeeere's… me!
I've had an adventurous day. Adventurous, at least, for me. I've never travelled anywhere completely alone before. Today I took a bus to the airport, boarded a plane, and flew to Seattle all by myself. I'm finally grown up and it only took 24 years. Now if only I could move out of my parents' house things could be perfect.
So I've already seen a few interesting sites. Tim, who I know from Jax STP 2004, picked me up from the airport. We decided to Pike Place Market to get some food. We didn't end up checking out the market, but we walked around for a bit. During the walking, we happened to walk by the first-ever Starbucks coffee shop (still operating!) until we found a Japanese restaurant to eat.
Nothing like raw salmon to make my day go right. Mmm, mmm… oishi.
I went to church at Mars Hill after that. It's "contemporary" in the way _contemporary_ should be: rocking. And by rocking I don't mean watered-down, sold-out, and shallow. This sermon packed more solid teaching than I've heard in the last six months (probably 'cause I haven't been to church much). I enjoyed it.
Now I'm staying with some people I know up here. I'm exhausted from adjusting my sleep schedule to normal hours so ineed to get to bed.
I wish I had an easy way to send photos from my phone to this blog. I've had trouble with it so far. If you're on Facebook, though, you can look at my mobile uploads and I'll be adding photos there throughout this trip. For the rest of you, I'll put some up here on the site later.
By the way, the big Job Fair is on Tuesday so please pray that it works out well!

Estate PlanningWe assist clients in developing plans for the disposition of their estates after death and for the perpetuation of family businesses. This involves the laws of wills, trusts, probate, property, marriage and state and federal taxation. We prepare documents that preserve as much flexibility as possible and provide opportunity for later tax planning by use of such devices as QTIP elections and disclaimers of interests in property. In addition to wills and revocable living trusts, we prepare documents such as irrevocable life insurance trusts, personal residence trusts, and charitable remainder trusts to carry out lifetime estate planning objectives. Optimal tax planning may also involve the rearrangement of ownership of property within a family unit, by gift or otherwise.
International Estate Planning and Estate AdministrationWe assist individuals and families with all aspects of international and cross-border estate planning such as U.S. estate, gift and income taxation of non-resident aliens; taxation matters associated with permanent and temporary foreign residency; unique community property and asset protection issues that arise when foreign persons or foreign assets are involved. Our lawyers have experience representing clients who are U.S. citizens as well as foreign clients with U.S. business interests and or personal assets in the U.S. We assist these clients with handling estate planning matters in connection with several foreign countries, including preparing qualified domestic trusts (QDOTs) and assisting U.S. citizens in the expatriation process. In our U.S.-Canada cross-border practice our attorneys prepare Canadian immigration trusts. Our attorneys have experience with foreign asset reporting including the Foreign Bank Account Report (FBAR or TD F 90-22.1), the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), and reporting obligations related to foreign trusts.
Lifetime PlanningWe assist clients in developing individual financial plans for the management and use of assets during the individual's lifetime. This includes advice regarding legal and tax aspects of joint ownership of property, formation of family limited partnerships and limited liability companies for the management of property and for lifetime transfers to family members; planning for the contingency of disability through "living wills" and advance directives for health care, use of durable powers of attorney and revocable living trusts; and advice regarding various types of investments, the desirability of making gifts and the general effect of income tax laws.
Post-Mortem Tax PlanningAn important part of our practice involves assisting clients in making various elections for tax purposes after a death has occurred. This includes decisions on whether to claim available deductions on estate or income tax returns, whether to use date-of-death values or alternate valuation date values for estate tax purposes, whether to file joint income tax returns with a surviving spouse or to consent for gift tax purposes to treat gifts as if made equally by a decedent and spouse. Other planning decisions involve income tax planning, selection of fiscal years for income tax purposes, timing of distributions, making qualified terminable interest property elections, the appropriate use of disclaimers, funding of trusts with selected assets, the allocation and use of generation-skipping transfer tax exemptions and many other tax planning elections.
Settlement of EstatesWe represent personal representatives in settling estates, including the preparation and filing of pleadings and other documents in the appropriate probate court, marshaling estate assets, preparation of an inventory of estate assets, settlement of claims, preparation of decedents' final income tax returns, preparation of fiduciary income tax returns, preparation of estate and inheritance tax returns, participation in any audit of such returns, preparation and review of accountings, interpretation of wills (including allocation of assets to marital dispositions) and distribution of assets to beneficiaries.
Administration of TrustsWe provide advice to trustees with regard to the performance of their duties as trustees and their investment, tax, and accounting responsibilities. We assist with the preparation of fiduciary income tax returns and, in the case of revocable living trusts, the preparation of estate and inheritance tax returns upon the death of the trustor. As with estates, we participate in any audit of such returns. We represent trustees with respect to the interpretation of trust provisions and, upon termination of the trust, the distribution of assets to beneficiaries.
