hello all, ever since i decided to go with collecting Exodites, the question of rules and how to best count as have bugged my mind...
so countless night have been spend sleepless thanks to the idea of a home-made ruleset, so i was wondering, would anyone besides me be interested in seeing and preferably participating in creating an exodite expansion for the exsisting codex: eldar?..
i know numorous sets of rules have allready been brewed, but i feel all that i have seen so far presents changes that appear way too extreme, effectively making a new army, that in most cases, are simply woodelves in space. so the goal is clear, to create an EXPANSION FOR C:CW
but then you might ask, how will i do any different?.. well, heres the thing, i have loads of experience creating custom content for various things (being half of the dev-team for a full table-rpg... and been a large part of designing a full Larp ruleset), i understand the difference between creating a "feel" with game-effects, rather than renaming stuff, how to carefully weight pros and cons for game-balance, and most off all that uniqueness comes from lack of ability, not from adding more (also i can only think in terms of grimdark...)
so with all that in mind, i present, the project:
to create a balanced and flavourfull expansion for the exsisting codex: Eldar. with a good rule of thumb that the rules should dictate the models in a way so that they can also be used to count as Craftworld Eldar.
the first step should be figuring out what restriction should be imposed, and how to rules-wise exchange the humble jetbike for a true cold-blooded mount
PS: i feel a healthy discussion of WHAT exactly the exodites are, and in what ways they opperate on the battlefield would be usefull

tough crowd... i know that atleast a couple of people here fancy exodites, so come on everyone
ohh well... my ideas so far is:
1) a new set of special characters, we will need atleast: a "super farseer", a fighting character, a master of stealth, a master hunter/sniper, and a character that rides a mostrous-creature sized mount... all of theese should have the option for a mount, be it not mandatory
2) transports and vehicles should be restricted, iam thinking 0-2 wave serpeants, no falcons, prisms, spinners, or vypers. warwalkers should be exchanged for some kind of medium-sized reptilian mount with simillar options and rules... iam thinking cavalry with T6 W2 with a 3+ save (barely any CC capability), relentless, and scout... as for options ive got no ideas yet, but should be simillar to war walkers, perhaps, twinlinked guns of the same variants as WW's
3) the rules for gun platforms could be left as is, one could then simply put a rider with a heavy weapon in the unit instead of the platform
4) aspect warriors needs to go, (safe for scorpions and spears, with some renaming)... or atleast restricted to 0-1 each, or a total of 0-1 craftworld aspects (akin to what FW did in the corsairs list)
5) all shuriken catapults get exchanged for lasblasters (24" S3 AP5 assault 2). shuriken pistols (except on harlies) should be exhanged for lasblaster pistols (24" S3 AP5 pistol)... i know a 24" pistol is not something commonly seen in warhammer, but its needed to keep the weapon equally usefull to its CW counterpart (so prices wont need changing)... shuriken cannons iam not sure about, iam split between a mandatory (costed, obviosly) exchange to scatter lasers, or a simple renaming of the cannon
6) all wraith units are out (wraithlords and wraithguard) and we will need to find a suitable replacement for wraithguard... i would like ruling out tree-people at once, as this is waaaay too woodelf-ish. perhaps some form of hard-to-control herd of reptiles? (akin to the dark eldar beastmaster units)
7) the lack of vehicles should obviously be replaced by an option to field monstrous creatures in the form of stegadons and the like, theese could be made versitile to fill out both the wraithlord and/or tank gap in the army... in their core, theese will simply be better wraithlords (at a higher cost)
8) now the meat and potatoes... the big make or break...
how do we represent the mounts?... my initial thought is that it grants +1T, +1A, 3+save, the unit becomes cavalry, gains move through cover, fleet, a free lasblaster, and a 12" assault move (functioning like the one eldar jetbikes have now)...
my head is debating weather or not to give them a 5++ (dodge)-save, to counter the lack of protection from boosting... other than that, theese changes should make all the jetbike units a tad better at what they do (living up to their prices) shinning spears become 33% better at charging with +1A, though their lances' shots become very hard to use, now having lost alot of their movement...
seer councils also benefit from this, though iam not sure thats a good thing considering their current power...
more importantly the guardian riders gets loads better, their strenght lies in "kiting" units and utilizing their normally 6" assault move to pull of dirty tricks, now they do it quite better with 24" basic guns to support the cannons (though now only at lasgun power), and a 12" move to pull away further from the target
so well, thats the things ive thought up so far. i would really love to hear some feedback on what is here so far. especially on the mounts

I went through weeks of the same problem when I was putting my exodite army together (its on the pip forum, no one ever posts there, so it should still be first or second page)
My response to the problem for a tournament legal army was to use the tyranid book. I know its a bit of an odd choice, but it does sort of work. Especially if you want a fairly monster based army.
Since you're going to have to read an opponent into the army before you play, it could be worth ripping some mechanics from fantasy to handle big monsters. And trying to get a feel for who exodites are rather than scifi-ing up wood elves is definitely the right starting point.
Some ideas:
Monstrous mounts:
Stealing stat lines from the nid book is a start, carnosaur as a tyrant, dragon as a harpy, stegadon as a tervigon. Obviously edit the stats a bit for balance, and change weapons for eldar or 'natural' abilities.
Have hits between the rider and mount randomised as with monsters in fantasy, with the following special rule (i just woke up, so this may need editing).
Absolute Mastery: Exodite nobility spend their entire lives raising and training their dragons, forming a deep psychic bond with their steers and instilling them with absolute loyalty. If an exodite character is killed in battle before their mount, the mount will continue to function normally, with the exception that it will have Rage and Preferred Enemy for the enemy unit that killed its master. No killpoints are awarded for an exodite character with this skill whilst their mount survives, however if both are slain, an extra kill point (3 total) is awarded.
A character with a monstrous mount may never join a unit.
Exodites make use of knight titans and smaller Exo suits for herding dragons, so removing war walkers and replacing them with wasp assault walkers with a single power weapon and furious charge (say 25 points?) Instead of one gun could be a good solution there.
Exodite line troops could be corsairs without the option for packs, but with scout, and ws4 storm guardians, again with scout. And obviously rangers.
Now, the big question, regular mounts. I like your ideas for the most part, however I would be inclined to make a few adaptions. The twelve inch assault 'escape' move, way too good. Being able to evade like that makes t a bit too tricky for folks to catch you. I'd just have it six unless charging. I'm not keen on the spear and guardian mounts being matched either, personally I think that spears would be on more aggressive, faster dragons, and guardians on more docile stable firing platforms. Maybe use the new cold ones for shining spear analogues and old for guardians, giving the former furious charge and the latter relentless.
Stealth would be my solution to the boost problem, exos seldom fight anywhere other than their home planet, so they would be very adept at hiding.
Actually, stealth, scout and move through cover would be a good start for pretty much the entire army. At least everything relatively little.
I love the idea of a ranger special character as well, off the top of my head;
Autarch stats, power sword, custom rifle, no armour but a spectre invun.
Relentless, may 'fleet' in the assault phase, (like a jetpack, and 3d6 pick the highest if he didn't fire), enters play like marbo or similar, with the ability to fire and flee first turn.
Traps: pick an area of the battlefield somehow, if the enemy move into it you may trigger the trap he's placed, either s4 ap5 5" or s- ap- 5" area becomes dangerous terrain for a turn?
Custom rifle: 48" range, heavy 1, 3+ to wound, 5+ 2 wounds, 6+ instant death?
I think that's me out of ideas for now, I need to make a coffee and upload things to photobucket.

sorry for the long "nothing happening-ness" on my part... i think i put the project on hold becouse the new edition was getting close, it seemed that there wasnt much interest in the project, and after a while i just plainly forgot (and 6th edition have not exactly been motivating for eldar)...
anyways, now that the new edition have gotten to sink in abit, i think it might be time to pick this thing up again and continue...
monstrous mounts:
i really like their inclusion, but i think as you mention that since your opponent have to read abit into the custom rules, the idea of "less is more" is key. it all really should be kept as simple as possible... by that i mean that it might very much be simpler to just have them share a wound-pool and stats (like any other mounted thing in 40k) explaining how they both die by the rider and its mount being in a wierd sort of mind-bond to function as a single entity (which i think theres even some official fluff about)...
furthermore, i think mostly avoiding theese thigns might be a good idea aswell, so in terms of HQ's we'll have to do with what is basicly an Avatar, the rest will be up to the heavy section and our wraithlord equivilant...
lastly, for my own army i planned a count-as avatar that was to be modelled as the Carnosaur with a very fancy howda on its back, which would mostly be a throne for an ancient high-cheif, inspiring the troops around him and letting his ancient and very well trained companion tear through the enemy ranks. i imagined there being some servants on the howda, too, one carrying the meltagun, having two gunners would be cool for symmetry though.
normal mounts:
iam abit stuck on this one... logically we should just use the normal cavalry rules and add some stats, but they honestly doesnt seem to fit huge raptors used to moving through woodland at all (tripping and falling over dead when running through woods, in game terms).
HOWEVER if we were to give most of the army scouts, stealth, "ignore difficult terrain" (rather than move through cover), and the mounts having relentless and a jetbike assault-move. this would pretty much be solved. it does start to feel abit clunky though... as for stats, iam feeling that mounts should not grant improved armor like bikes does, but perhaps +1W intead? (the normal +1T should probably stay)
iam really abit lost with theese... i feel like the more i get into them, the worse of an option they seem, and thats really not good since the exodites should have viable and usefull cavalry, as that is "their thing"
perhaps we are moving into a terretory where we should consider them being a cheap-ish upgrade for regular guardians rather than a troop choise of their own? (as an alternative for wave serpents, in a way)
yeah... thinking about it again, merging mounted troops with guardians might actually be the best choise, this would be kinda cool and solve a few problems, like rather than relentless, if you have shooty guardians they simply keep their platform, and it would make storm guardians kinda viable, suddenly being kinda tough, having hammer of wrath, and 12" movement. or even just as a way of delivering meltas/flamers and a warlock.
furthermore, assault moves suddenly feel abit less important, since they gain a new role alltogether, being shock or support troops rather than "swoop around and do nothing"-troops

ok, lets get down to buisness, i made the first rough pages for this thing:
now a few things to keep in mind here... i think it might be a good idea to shift the basic idea for the project, scratch pretty much every mention ive made to "expansion" as it is much much simpler if we just make something new and armylist-ish obviosly with ALOT of refrencing to codex: eldar
theese first pages are made with the idea in mind that "mounts" make the model relentless cavalry, adding +1T and +1W... it should possibly also rule out the "make difficult terrain into dangerous"-thing that cavalry has. (also there are no assault-move)
the prices for the heavy weapon options on guardians are kept low keeping in mind that they will slow down the intire unit unless the carrier is mounted (unlike weapon platforms), also, they are way overpriced in the craftworld-dex, especially keeping in mind BS 3
also many of the prices are somewhat changed, i feel this is called for simply by the annoying numbers used in C:CW (lots of uneven 8's and 3's) and also by the fact that it is very dated, and thus many point-costs seems very internally unbalanced within the codex (and outside it, but i dont wanna start complaining about the overall balance of 40K)
:EDIT: oh, i forgot to mention, i added a new warlock power "Enrage" which grants the squad furious charge, just for more options and viability for storm guardians
:EDIT-EDIT: by the way. any opinions on the ranger-character?.. my idea is to basicly bash together a weak farseer with a pathfinder, and keep him as a support/shooting character (something waaay too rare in 40k i feel)... iam abit split on granting him the option for a mount, though, as right now his main weakness is actually his super-sniper, as he will have to sit still to use it. but granting him a mount would make him relentless, thus making him have pretty much no drawbacks (he is even kinda allright in CC, which seems needed in order to support fellow rangers which should be an obvious and viable option for him)
as allways, any thoughts or input is welcome
(i know i havnt gotten around to all the points you made yet, 6ix, but you made alot of feedback, and i think its better to focus on a few things at a time, for now, the core of the army)

hardly any changes, really, but alot of stuff have been added:
Dragon knights have been added as elites.
Grimstalkers have been added as elites... essentially its a mix of striking scorpions and harlequins with a Aztec/mayan theme in mind
Warriders added to Fast attack, basicly a tiny squad of mounted better-than-guardians with all special weapons, a sorta mobile devastator squad if you will. it might be a boring unit, but i felt the army needed something versitile that can be fitted to plug a hole in your armylist... need antitank? get 3 of theese with melta's and outflank em at 120 points. also they are ment as a place to dump off some of the enevitable spare special-weapon models and actually make them usefull
Exo suit added to fast attack... very simple unit, a slightly toughter and more expensive war walker with an un-replaceable Power lance
Rangers as per C:CW have been added to troops aswell... thats about it for now i think...
as allways, unput much wanted

Progress part II
First blood
so yeah. ive done a tiny bit more work on the rules today after a long break on my dino-rider space elves, aka: The Exodites
first: ive edited some spelling errors around the place
second: taking a mounted lord that carries a laser lance now lets you take one unit of Dragon knights as troops
third: the dragon knights may now take "up to three" Macuahuitl's, rather than "one per three knights"
4th: i made Exo-suits 5 points more costy
5th: completely reworked the Warriders, even changing their name into "Outriders"
6th: i added two new units; The mighty Bright stallion, and the trusty Stegadons, both in heavy support
now, iam also looking for some actual input, rather than feedback on what is allready made... i can now say iam fairly satisfied with the "core" of this army, so now its time for crazy specialized stuff...
what iam tinkering with in my head are units such as;
a swooping hawk equivalent (am thinking something harpy-like, but obviosly with jet tech).
dragons, as in literal dragons, or atleast carnosaur-like creatures, either as a hell-drake like combat unit (young smaller dragon that zooms around and spits fire, essentially a flying monstrous creature), or a more supportive avatar of khaine-like unit (old dragon that should at most be jump infantry due to worn wings, if winged at all)
an Eldrad equivalent, Aka super-psyker (something like a high priest/ess or somesuch)
some sort of warrior-character, chaplain-like special rules (maybe a super-warlock character?)...
and last but not least, iam considering the possiblity of a DE Raider like transport, it should be limited, but it would be neat to have the option
as allways, looking for ALL the C+C and input... would love to make this a community thing :P

Health Tip: Less Stress in 7 Steps
Deep breathing relaxes your body and mind.
Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD
Feeling stressed? Here are seven simple steps for breathing your way out of stress:
- Sit in a comfortable, not-too-soft chair that lets you keep your back straight and your feet flat on the floor.
- Put your hands gently on your belly, right below your ribcage.
- Ready to take a breath? Expand your belly, drawing breath in through your nose. When you do this right, you'll feel your hands move slightly.
- Don't hold your breath. Open your mouth a little. Slowly let your belly contract, gently pushing your breath out your mouth.
- Repeat this for a few minutes. Try not to think of anything in particular. If thoughts wander into your mind, let them wander back out. Don't try to push the stress out of your body -- just let it go.
- Practice this for several minutes each day. Work up to about five or 10 minutes at a sitting.
- Do this once a day. If something is stressing you out, do a few minutes of this deep breathing until you feel calm.

Future Perfect
The Case For Progress In A Networked Age

Preview (read now) Add to my own site Give this ebook to a friend Add to my wishlist Author's page Publisher's page
moreCombining the deft social analysis of Where Good Ideas Come From with the optimistic arguments of Everything Bad Is Good For You, New York Times bestselling author Steven Johnson's Future Perfect makes the case that a new model of political change is on the rise, transforming everything from local governments to classrooms, from protest movements to health care. Johnson paints a compelling portrait of this new political worldview -- influenced by the success and interconnectedness of the Internet, by peer networks, but not dependent on high-tech solutions -- that breaks with the conventional categories of liberal or conservative, public vs. private thinking.
With his acclaimed gift for multi-disciplinary storytelling and big idea books, Johnson explores this new vision of progress through a series of fascinating narratives: from the "miracle on the Hudson" to the planning of the French railway system; from the battle against malnutrition in Vietnam to a mysterious outbreak of strange smells in downtown Manhattan; from underground music video artists to the invention of the Internet itself.
At a time when the conventional wisdom holds that the political system is hopelessly gridlocked with old ideas, Future Perfect makes the timely and inspiring case that progress is still possible, and that innovative strategies are on the rise. This is a hopeful, affirmative outlook for the future, from one of the most brilliant and inspiring visionaries of contemporary culture. less

Your computer is made up of hardware and software. Software determines how you interact with your computer, but hardware determines if your computer works. At some point, your hard drive – the piece of hardware responsible for storing and retrieving digital information – will eventually die.
According to Backblaze, 80 percent of hard drives last for four years or more. Most hard drive failures come completely unexpected for the computer owner. Here are six signs that can tip you off to an impending hard drive crash:
Computer crashes come in many forms and even colors. Sudden reboots are a sign of a possible hard drive failure. As is the blue screen of death, when your computer screen turns blue, freezes and may require rebooting. A strong sign of a hard drive failure is a computer crash when you are trying to access files. If your computer crashes when you are trying to open a file, that's a good sign that the piece of hardware holding the information on your computer – aka your hard drive – is facing difficulties.
Here at 307 Locust St, we have a special arrangement: Tranquility Internet, an Internet service provider, and MayeCreate Design, a web and graphic design company, share an office space. That's right, techies and creatives coming together to work in the same space. This is how both sides not only manage but thrive in such an environment.
Don't just give your employees the steps needed to get from point A to point B. Instead tell them the story of what you want. Explain how you want a project to feel or what problem needs solved. By doing this, you give them more room to solve the problem in their own way, more room to explore. They'll be more creative, motivated and fast at solving your problem. Read More

Agreed with Slate that this is the best job at the Olympics, and I like eBikes slightly better when they lead the pack at the keiren races.
In case you missed it, the 3T Exploro is in on demo, and I took it with me to Bend, where some of the best biking in the Pacific Northwest is. Yesterday we rode 50 miles and with 700c, 30s on the Exploro. The chipseal in Bend will test any bike's comfort carbon claims, it's not the bumps, as the roads are well worn, but the vibration frequency. Bend considers cyclists when repaving their roads, using smaller rocks for lanes. The Forest Services does not, and the conditions degrade the farther you ride into the Deschutes National Forest.
I've had intolerable chipseal rides in the Bend area; including on carbon and metal bikes. Eager to learn how the Exploro performed, I was not disappointed. That's because of the Challenge Bianca Strada tires at 80 PSI and the polymer dampening ring inside the seat post head. The tires muted the chipseal frequency just enough, and the seat post took the edge off the bumps. It's a similar approach to tuning the ride, but more subtle than the Trek Boone that "suspends" the rider at the seat tube cluster with elastomers.
Before the next ride, I'll switch out the Challenge tire wheelset for 650bs with slicks at even lower pressure and expect to maintain the same pace. That's because of the Vroomen-engineered aero tubing. As 3T puts it a "40mm knobby cross/gravel tires and 2 water bottles it is faster than the equivalent clean round tube bike is with 28mm slick road tires and without bottles."
That's a bold statement and 3T has the wind tunnel numbers to back it up. What I felt so far was the bike slicing through strong headwinds and lift from tailwinds. It's remarkable to roll a fast tempo on a bike with such big tires, and not have to work so hard….I did not expect to look down and see 18-22 mph on a gravel bike with two bottles, a tool barrel, and camera bag. I wasn't putting that much pressure into the pedals.
I was going easy, but fast.
Learn more about the Exploro on their site, in issue 37 of our magazine, and on Medium Bicycles.
It's happened twice now, locals in big trucks driving around small towns have stopped to talk to me about what I'm riding and…that makes it a bonafide trend at least in Washington and Utah. Like fixie before it, and explained to me and Guitar Day one fateful day 3 years ago at Interbike by Steve Hed,
People start realizing possibilities when bike design departs from racing.
At 2:50 Steve lays it all out….
On a road trip and vacation, don't have the bandwidth to post across all Bike Hugger channels, if you want to keep up with the riding we're doing, please follow on Medium and Instagram.
Three years ago Giant Bicycles made big waves when they boldly declared that both 29" and 26" would be replaced as wheel standards for mountainbikes by 27.5", a standard originally known as 650B. For the 2014 model year they rolled out 27.5" versions of their XC machines, the XTC hardtail and full-suspension Anthem. Of course, whenever the bike industry declares a "new revolution in design" is in progress, it's always fun to check up on the prediction later (often to be enjoyed with a fine glass of schadenfreude). Now that a three-year product cycle has elapsed, haters might be eager to point out that Giant has backtracked on phasing out 29er". Yet at the same time, it would be difficult to claim that 27.5" has failed, since the new Anthem and XTC bikes are being marketed as +/29", meaning that in addition to the typical 29" wheels with 2.0-2.25" wide tyres the frames also can fit 27.5" plus that is, 27.5" wheels with tyres in the wide (but not fatbike wide) 2.8-3.2" range. The idea is that the 29er wheels give the bike a fast XC character while the 27.5"+ give surer grip and gusto in rougher trails conditions while avoiding the heavy wheels and long wheelbase of required of 29 x 3.0" tyres.
This dual wheel concept is the natural byproduct of the decade-long trend towards wider tyres in all virtually all categories of bicycles, facilitated by hub-mounted disc brakes and to a lesser extent new, wider axle/hub standards. Since it is no longer a braking surface, the wheel's rim diameter is less relevant than the tyre's overall diameter. A 27.5"+ tyre fits a rim with a 584mm bead set diameter but has an outside dimension approaching that of a 29 x 2.1" on a 622mm rim. That's a lot of tyre to squeeze between fork blades and chain stays, so many manufacturer's are taking up the new "Boost" standard for thru-axle hubs, which adds 10mm to front hubs and 6mm to rear hubs. With the cassette pushes further outboard, optimum chainline also moves away from the centerline of the frame, though the distance between the pedals, commonly known as Q-factor, is not necessarily affected.
All these changes have added to the already bewildering number of sku#s for MTB cranksets and hubs (especially if you add in the product catering to fatbikes). Just to point out one more aspect of this trend, the popularity of plus-sized tyres is prompting rim manufacturers to offer wider options. Arguably this is more important for 27.5"+/29er dual wheel concept than for the separate 29er+ niche. Whereas the latter simply seeks to add a bigger footprint to a 29er wheel, the 27.5"+ tyre needs to provide the wider footprint as wheel as closely approximate the overall diameter of a 29 x 2.2" tyre so that the wheels are interchangeable without changing the effective gearing, bottom bracket height, and handling. Thus a 27.5"+ tyre suited for a dual wheel bike like those in Giant's new lineup may have an especially tall sidewall, that would otherwise collapse under hard cornering if not supported at the bead by a wider rim. Suitable rims have internal widths upwards of 40-45mm, far bigger than the ~21mm that was common up until 2000, or even the 25-30mm of more recent times. Just to complicate things, not all 27.5"+ tyres are being marketed to the 27.5"+/29er dual concept, so some are just short and wide.
The dual wheel setup of the new 2017 Giant MTB lineup has a parallel in the 3T Exploro that Head Bike Hugger Byron is reviewing right now. The Exploro uses the same two rim standard (ISO-584mm and ISO-622mm) but with comparatively skinnier tyres and more pointedly, dropbars. The Exploro is designed to fit 40mm tyres on 700C wheels (to put that in MTB terms, 29 x 1.6") or 2.25" tyres on 650B (ie 27.5"). Thankfully, the 3T takes conventional compact road cranks and 100x15mm/142x12mm thru-axles, and 650B x 2.25" tyre doesn't need particularly tall sidewalls to get to the size of a 700C x 40mm.
The mind blown part of this bike story…. The EXPLORO is basically a Tarmac (a benchmark for road disc) with a few mm in the wheelbase, a half degree in the head tube; and double the tire clearance while offering an aero benefit, and lower weight.
It'll roll with 650bs or 700cs too.
The keg on the top tube is because I'm all in for road bikes on dirt, but #nobento. No matter the aero benefits.
I was going to write a thoughtful analysis of the Olympic road races, but then the EXPLORO showed up, demanding all my attention, and ride time.

I realized it was something I was unable to do or afford, especially since they wanted me to do half-naked shows. When I called them to quit, they gave me an enormous hassle about it, saying I wasted their time. I wasted their time? I live three hours away. That's gas, time, PLUS tolls!
As I never received my books or supplies, I felt what I did in fact pay for my registration fee should have been put toward anything that I would have owed. The women that worked there failed to mention to me when I signed up that I would be liable for 25% of the entire course fee if I quit early, past the legitimate period of time to quit.
Not only did I pay all but $100 of the registration and supplies fee, but I also made one payment to their processing center - NEA - also known as a COLLECTION AGENCY! The people who work there are nice, except for the one woman - Lisa. She is completely arrogant. She calls as a bill collector before you're even late on a payment.
Tonight, she called me and demanded that I pay over $500 to that crock of an agency. I said absolutely not. She said there was no way that I could get around it, as she could garnish my wages. Little did she know that I was once a bill collector myself, and it is ILLEGAL in my state as well as others to garnish one's wages. She then advised me that I would receive a bad mark on my credit report, thus 'ruining' my credit, and rudely hung up on me.
Now, as I stated, I was a bill collector myself. Hanging up on a customer, even if it is a debtor, is NOT the professional thing to do. You can LOSE YOUR JOB for doing that.
So, I attempted to call her back. Three times. She hung up on me without saying a word each and every time. Way to be mature, lady. I therefore contacted the Better Business Bureau, and I noticed they are very popular with them - supposedly, they get complaints ALL THE TIME.
After filing a complaint with the BBB, I then called NEA back and spoke with a rather nice lady. She explained to me that I would be liable for 25% of the entire course fee, and as nicely as I could be, I told her JC could shove it. She said she would speak with a supervisor and see what the minimum I could pay would be.
I feel I shouldn't be liable for anything, as I never received my books or supplies, and I only attended one class, which I wasn't supposed to do by law, but the employees and the director there told me I should attend anyway.
However, if I don't pay anything, it will go against my credit report, and I have perfect credit. I don't want to ruin that.
JC is a complete crock, and all they do is take your money to exploit you for something you never signed up for. If they're looking for women to dance and walk around half naked, they need to contact playboy, or find some women with no morals, because that's not me.
Kutztown, Pennsylvania
STOP! ..before you think about using the Better Business Bureau (BBB)... CLICK HERE to see how other consumers were victimized by the BBB's false or misleading information. Don't be fooled! It has been reported, when there are thousands of complaints and other investigations underway by authorities, the BBB has no choice but to finally give an UNsatisfactory rating to a BBB member business that is paying the BBB big membership fees every year. When a business is reported that is NOT a BBB member, BBB files WILL more likely show an UNsatisfactory rating, then reportedly shake down that company to become a member of the BBB. One positive thing about the BBB is, either way, if a business has an unsatisfactory rating with the BBB, you can be sure, the business is bad. But what about all those BBB member businesses that had complaints filed against them? Consumers never get to hear about them. What about the BBB advertising to the public? Is this a false and misleading perception they are giving about consumer confidence when dealing with a business? Click here to understand more of what consumers and business alike are saying about the BBB. You decide. ..Remember. The BBB membership is not earned, it's paid for!

After looking through the Mint website for really a long time, I did not see any notice of minimum hardware requirement.
For example: The XFCE version is often preferred because of speed and needing less resources, good for old computers. The remark "needs less resources" is quite vague and essentially meaningless. How about something like "minimum RAM xxx, Diskspace xxx, CPU xxx..."
Hardware requirements

That's because the hardware requirements is pretty much the same as for any other distro that uses X. xfce is more lightweight because of it's graphical front-end, which uses alot less hardware-power than gnome or KDE, thus, runs alot faster on older computers.
Other than that, the requirements is pretty much the same for every distro. =)

Be Prepared to Lose It All in an IPO
GEORGE PAPADOPOULOS: Individuals shouldn't invest in IPOs unless they are willing to risk losing all of their investment. My clients and I certainly are not interested in individual stocks, let alone highly volatile IPOs. I make it clear to prospects that if they are looking for a stock picker they are certainly not talking to the right person. I would never invest any part of my nest egg in these stocks.
If you want to have a play money account and entertain yourself buying some of these stocks (assuming you can get access), go ahead and hope you get lucky. It certainly makes for a much more exciting conversation around the water cooler telling others about Alibaba stock instead of an S&P 500 index fund.
Some people are always looking for that type of excitement with their investment portfolios. They are not a good fit for my practice. I suggest leaving the excitement for your personal interests and hobbies instead of your investment portfolio.

Using a broad range of innovative techniques, we've developed a groundbreaking literacy intervention with amazing results. Research suggests ReadingWise English offers over 9 months reading age increase in just 20 hours.
Research demonstrates ReadingWise English can boost reading ages by over nine months in just 20 hours
The ReadingWise English literacy intervention is made up of five different modules. Two are just for teachers and the supporting team – they help you deliver the course and give you a highly effective dashboard on which to track your pupils' progress. The other three are for your students and deal with letter recognition, decoding and comprehension.
Our Alphabet module supports those who need to go over the core units of sound.
The Decoding module takes learners through a carefully structured learning journey, personalised for them. A learner works through blends, progresses through common endings, words and sentences using a variety of innovative approaches to unlock learning.
The Comprehension module aims to empower learners to employ key strategies, like seeking definitions when appropriate and using scanning and skimming skills.
We aim to make life easy for our schools and organisations and the Dashboard and Training modules allow you to get the information you need about a learner's progress quickly. The Dashboard lets you view learners' progress, how much time they've spent to date, pre and post assessment data, where they are struggling most (allowing focussed support) and much more.
The Training module augments the training we deliver when we set up an organisation and ensures that all staff are able to deliver the ReadingWise English literacy intervention effectively - making a big difference to learners' lives.
A second/third wave literacy intervention which uses a range of educational and psychological techniques to significantly boost reading ages.
An improvement in reading age of over 9 months on average, in a programme that takes just 20 hours to deliver. Sounds too good to be true?
Enter your email address and receive our free report as featured in the Independent on Sunday.
We surveyed over 500 literacy teachers to gauge their views about what works – and what doesn't.
Thank you
There's been a problem. Try again?
We are conducting an election poll of school leaders' and teachers views on literacy.
The survey opened February 2015 - we are grateful for your time, and for you sharing the link with colleagues.
"...the children in the pilot group have spoken with excitement and passion about the programme with their friends and in their classes..."
"ReadingWise offers us a way to close the gap as pupils move from primary to secondary, and I think crucially within the school, it offers us a way to close the gap as the progress through the year groups."
"Attached are our updated reading ages, showing the progress made. We're really pleased!!! Out of 16 children, only 2 have made less than 6 months progress, with one child showing 2 years 3months! "
"We had DFE inspection yesterday and they were very impressed with the interventions we have put in place and ReadingWise helped to contribute to a very positive judgement overall!"
"Struggling readers at Calmore Junior have made phenomenal progress thanks to ReadingWise English."
"It is great for students who haven't quite got the phonics in the initial stages as it gives them the extra push and practice."
"ReadingWise English supports and develops the decoding skills of poor readers. This understanding of how reading works has affected a change in attitude towards reading. The children's confidence has grown and can be seen in other lessons."
"The amount of progress these students have made in only 20 hours is astonishing. They have never made this sort of progress in reading before."
"My son is reading all the time now since he did the ReadingWise English course. It made a big difference to his understanding of reading and to his confidence."

Seasonal Recipe Spotlight: Spring Lamb
So what defines lamb versus sheep or mutton? We found that it's not only age - it's also the state of their teeth. Seriously. In New Zealand, a lamb is defined as a young sheep no older than a year, with no permanent incisors.
We love lamb, choosing to stew and braise it much more frequently than beef or chicken. It's also produced in much smaller quantities here in the United States, so it's prone to less of the issues with hormones and antibiotics that trouble so much of the meat industry. We still try to buy grass-fed lamb, however, like this package of 20-25 pounds of lamb available through LocalHarvest.
So, what to do with it?
The classic flavors to pair with lamb are mint and rosemary. We love a simple lamb chop roasted with rosemary, salt and pepper. Try this Mustard Rosemary Paste for Lamb, too.
Here's some other recipes we've featured in the past: Roasted Lamb Chops and Mushrooms, Liz's Lamb Tagine, and Lamb Ragú.
We'd also like to try this Spring Lamb Stew recipe over at Staub's website. Also try Narangi Keema, a dish that uses ground lamb, or this Sri Lankan Lamb Curry.
If you're looking for Easter recipes, check out this Mini-Crusted Roast Leg of Lamb with Tart Plum Sauce and this Sirloin of New Season's Lamb with Lentils.

5 year Idaho Falls golf plan approved
POSTED: 09:53 PM MST Nov 20, 2012 UPDATED: 10:28 PM MST Nov 20, 2012
A five-year plan for golf courses in Idaho Falls is approved.
Idaho Falls City Council voted Tuesday night on the plan which includes a fee increase that should increase revenue by a million dollars.
The revamped business plan also includes returning profit centers like golf pro shops and cart rentals to the city.
There was no controversy at Tuesday's council meeting. One woman did raise a concern that raising fees would result in fewer people on fixed incomes being able to golf.
The five-year plan will only raise fees for one year; they will then be re-evaluated the following year.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Coronary Artery Disease: Roles of Different Doctors
Topic Overview
Cardiac rehabilitation team
A cardiac rehabilitation (rehab) program teaches you how to be more active and make lifestyle changes that can lead to a stronger heart and better health. This team often includes a doctor, a nurse specialist, a dietitian, an exercise therapist, and a physical therapist. The team designs a program just for you, based on your health and goals. Then they give you support to help you succeed.
What you eat has a big effect on your coronary artery disease. You may seek the aid of a registered dietitian to help you plan a heart-healthy diet. If you also have high blood pressure (hypertension) or diabetes, it may be important to limit salt and sugar intake as well.
Registered dietitians are trained in nutrition. They are experienced in helping people make lifestyle changes. They understand that adjustments to your eating habits can be the hardest changes to make. And they can help you take small steps toward the larger goal of a balanced diet.
Mental health professional
Many people with serious conditions such as CAD have depression. Psychiatrists, psychologists, and clinical social workers can help you deal with the mental challenges that come with any CAD-related complications that you may have. Also, they can help you learn to manage the stress in your life. This can affect the success of your treatment plan.

'Founding Gardeners' lecture; wellness fair; Lynden Sculpture Garden dog day
Green nation
As the British were preparing to attack New York in 1776, Gen. George Washington wrote to his estate manager about what trees he wanted planted at Mount Vernon - all American natives. Author Andrea Wulf discusses Washington and the other framers of our nation from the point of view of their gardens in "Founding Gardeners: The Revolutionary Generation, Nature and the Shaping of the American Nation." She will give a lecture on the topic Thursday at 6:15 p.m. in the Lubar Auditorium of the Milwaukee Art Museum, 700 N. Art Museum Drive. Afterward, there will be a reception in the Café Calatrava. The lecture is free with museum admission ($15 for adults; $12 for students, seniors and members of the military; free for members and children under 12). The reception costs $30 and reservations are requested: call (414) 224-3293. »Read Full Article

'Before I Die' wall installed at Sky High
Death has a way of clarifying life, or so say great philosophers and New Orleans artist Candy Chang. It has a way of making us examine the kind of person we want to be, the life we want to live, the people who are important to us.
On Tuesday, people in the Bay View neighborhood were confronted by the finiteness of their lives as a result of one of Chang's projects. A wall that reads "Before I die I want to..." and has little buckets of colored chalk so people can fill in the blanks was installed at the Sky High Skateboard Shop and Gallery, 2501 S. Howell Ave., and in cities across the U.S. on Tuesday. »Read Full Blog Post(2)

Situated on the Pearl of Naithon beach side development, this fully air-conditioned apartment has its own private terrace with plunge jacuzzi pool.
The fully equipped open-plan living and dining area has a home theatre system with surround sound, satellite TV, wireless Internet and CD/DVD player. Full-width sliding doors lead to the private patio with built-in plunge jacuzzi pool. The apartment has two double bedrooms and two bathrooms, the master bedroom with it's own en suite. Both bedrooms can be arranged as either twin or double rooms.
Direct access to the Pearl of Naithon's luxurious 46m lagoon-style pool, with its own built-in spa area and surrounding gardens. Additional resort facilities include restaurant, rooftop bar overlooking pool and beach, gym and underground parking.
Situated in a friendly village community only 15 minutes from airport with numerous restaurants, golf, beach side activities and boat trips to nearby islands.
A beautiful modern apartment with all mod cons in a lovely well maintained Complex with a wonderful pool which was well looked after
The apartment was spotlessly clean and well maintained with a plunge pool as an added bonus
The owner arranged for us to be picked up and returned to the Airport which was only 15 mins from the complex He provided us with a map of the area he recommended places to visit and restaurants to eat at which we thought to be very good customer service so a big thank you to him
We would thoroughly recommend the property to family and friends
The village is small and has only a small Mart but you can hire a car or a Taxi to take you to Talang where there is a (TESCO)
The best attraction is a fantastic sandy beach across the road from the complex where there are numerous eating places all very good value for money and where most of the owners speak English
We loved our time there and would most certainly go back victor a mary from devon
We had a wonderful time during our stay at Nai Thon.
The apartment is in a fabulous location just across the road from a stunning beach, which was lovely and peaceful, although we also spent a lot of time relaxing in the beautiful resort gardens and pool. The pool was never crowded but it was really luxurious to have our own private plunge pool / jacuzzi on the terrace - absolutely fantastic for enjoying breakfast or a cheeky cocktail in the evening! And the apartment is also close enough to enjoy some great day trips in the surrounding area without going too far afield.
The apartment was everything we hoped for and more - clean, modern and well-furnished with everything we needed to make ourselves completely at home (although we usually ate out at the one of the many beachfront restaurants nearby - all of which were very friendly and serve delicious food).
The owner Fred (and his housekeeper May) is very helpful, friendly and quick to respond to any questions - thank you for making our holiday so relaxing and enjoyable Fred, we had an amazing time and can't wait to come again!
We have been very pleased with our stay in the Pearl. The pick up in the airport and our welcome with May waiting for us in the appartment and drinks and snacks in the kitchen was a nice surprice.
We enjoyed the appartment being so suitable for children - easy access to the pool when getting something in the appartment or using the toilet.
Nice to have towels changed often and cleaning one a week.
Cleen, quiet and safe surroundings in The Pearl and Nai Thon beach.
Only disadvantage is that there is no ATM or proper supermarket in Nai Thon beach. You will need a car if stay longer than a week.
We had a fabulous family holiday and intend to come again. The property was beautifully presented and looked exactly as the photos.
We have a 1 year old and a 3 year old. So we loved being on the ground floor with buggy access straight into the property (note: no lift facilities if you staying in higher floors within this development). While the property had a plunge pool we found we didn't use it much as the kids loved the lagoon pool. While we had to watch the little one around the plunge pool but it worked for our family.
Fred the owner was really helpful. For example he got his housekeeper to arrange a highchair for us (which made us enjoy a self catering holiday even more). There are about 7 beach hut cafes which serve delicious basic thai food. Most of them have slides, buckets and spades etc to keep the kids entertained while you have a drink. There is a cafe / bar in the complex but wasn't open all the time when we were there over the Christmas period.
The beach is absolutely stunning and perfect for children as gentle entry and calm. As it is part of the National Park so it is beautiful and doesn't have big properties on the beach front and also means there are no touts/sellers on the beach.
You will need a car to stay here. But you get the peace and beauty of Nai Thon beach yet not far to drive to other places. There is huge Tesco Lotus about 10-15 mins drive from the property but a 2 minute walk a little store that sells all basics.
This property suits people who want the option to self cater, yet want to eat local thai food in a beautiful setting without having to walk more than a couple of minutes from the apartment. The Pearl of Naithon is a quiet development which made it wonderfully relaxing for us and the swimming at the beach and pool was fabulous. We have already recommended it to friends.
Located in the Sirinath National Park,Naithon, with its friendly village atmosphere, has one of the most beautiful white sand beaches on Phuket,the Pearl of Naithon 5 Star Resort has direct access to the tree lined beach situated in a 400 metre bay. The surrounding tropical hillside ensures total freedom from aircraft noise whilst only a 15 minute drive from the airport and local golf courses,a 20 minute drive will take you to Patong, Phukets most developed beach with its many water activities such as para sailing, water skiing, diving and deep-sea fishing, Patongs lively night-life with its restaurants,discos and bars contrasts with Naithons calm quiet restaurant scene.
Golf: There are 7 golf courses on Phuket; Mission Hills; Blue Canyon (2 courses); Laguna Golf Resort; Phuket Golf & Country Club; Loch Palm and Red Mountain. Green Fees are from Bt.2,500, plus Bt.200/300 for the compulsory caddie who's assistance is guaranteed to knock a couple of shots off your round. Nearest course about 20min drive.

Reverend Horton Heat
REVFormat: CD Release Date: 01/20/2014
After releasing a Christmas album (We Three Kings), a couple of live sets (25 to Life and Live at the Fillmore), a disappointing country-leaning album (Laughin' and Cryin' with the Reverend Horton Heat), and a jazzy side project (Hi-Fi Stereo by RevOrganDrum), the Reverend Horton Heat has finally gotten around to making the sort of record his fans have been wanting to hear for close to a decade: a full-on fast-and-loud rockabilly set, complete with Jim Heath's trademark fifth-gear guitar work and pounding rhythms from bassist Jimbo Wallace and drummer Scott Churilla. REV doesn't break much new ground for this band, but in the truest sense that's the point: Heath and his bandmates have been taking plenty of detours in recent years, some satisfying and some disappointing, but REV is where they step back into their comfort zone and do what they do best. Heath's guitar work has never been a problem, and his blazing solos here are as impressive as ever, while the melodies, propped up by his thick rhythm lines, are simple, sturdy, and hold everything together no matter how fast and wild the players attack the music (and Wallace and Churilla clearly worked up a sweat on these sessions). Most of the songs cover the usual subjects -- cars, women, good times, bad times, life on the road, zombies -- with Heath's usual degree of canny wit, though he seems a little out of his element ranting about foreign bankers who control the world in "Never Gonna Stop It" and the mental health system in "Schizoid." Overall, though, REV is the Reverend Horton Heat's strongest rock roll album since 2000's Spend a Night in the Box, simply because it shows the Reverend and company to their best advantage: they do this stuff better than anyone, and they don't have to apologize for playing to their strengths when they can still wail like this. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

London Stock Exchange chairman Chris Gibson-Smith yesterday told shareholders that the company "is not up for sale".
Mr Gibson-Smith, speaking at the exchange's annual meeting, said: "We have had two unsolicited approaches which we have said we will consider but there is no sense in which we consider ourselves up for sale. In our view we have a very strong independent strategy which is delivering results in line with what we intended. We need the results of the Competition Commission to see whether this process will go forward but I can give you our strong confidence of our independent future."
Takeover proposals from both France's Euronext and Germany's Deutsche Borse are with the commission but the latter is not expected to bid even in the event of a favourable outcome, thanks to the shareholder rebellion sparked by its now withdrawn indicative offer of 530p a share.
However, within the exchange there are increasing doubts over whether Euronext will be able to come up with an acceptable offer that also satisfies the commission when the report is published. Mr Gibson-Smith has been talking up the company's growth prospects and it is likely that the exchange will demand substantially more than 600p a share.
Mr Gibson-Smith said while directors had a duty to consider offers, the exchange had not only to satisfy its shareholders but also "our stakeholders in the wider London market".
Some of these, notably Citigroup, which lodged strenuous objections to a takeover with the Competition Commission, are vehemently opposed to the exchange being acquired by a foreign competitor.
Mr Gibson-Smith said: "The London Stock Exchange is by far the largest equity exchange by value traded in Europe, £2.8trillion in 2004, more than twice that of Euronext, our nearest European rival, and third in the world."
The meeting lasted less than an hour, depsite the continuing uncertainty over a possible takeover. The LSE said that revenues for the three months ending June 30 rose 13pc to £67.7m because of a surge in the number of companies coming to market.
In total the Alternative Investment Market for smaller companies and the main market recorded 184 new issues during the period, twice that of the previous year's 92.
The company's broker services unit recorded an 11pc increase in revenue with average daily trading on the company's electronic order book jumping by 27pc.
Mr Gibson-Smith said: "We are well positioned to continue our growth and consolidate our position at the equity market of choice for companies and traders looking to Europe as the place to do business in the future." The shares closed up 3¾p at 500¼p.
