I've suggested they just override the switcher, but the whole point of having a mobile theme was to make mobile access easier. I get that opening up editing exposes our blog to some nefarious plots, but I'm willing to live with the exposure in exchange for ease.

We showed to the agency, our son filled out an application which said One Source has confidntial information and we are agreeing not to film or take pictures on the premise. I noticed there are ceiling cameras around every room. After waiting way past our appointment time, we were escorted to a room with a group of chairs and a tv. There were other people sitting waiting. After waiting for another half hour the supervisor came in turned the tv off and immediately stated all phones must be turned off, all children kept quiet and anyone not able to meet these requirments were to leave. She stated that One Source was a national agency representing a massive client base. She proceeded to ramble a group of movies and also stated that One Source placed all of the people in Fear Factor. I wish I had a hidden camera or recorder, cause I now don't believe they represent anyone. She talked very fast and stated that the feild used 98% normal people for commercials rather then "bomb shell actresses". She also stated that they train, and refer people to a vast amount of movies, tv, commercials and Chicago was the major print city of the country needing a more models and actors than what is now supplied.
Each person was called for an personal interview and told weather they would qualify or not, "she said anyone that was obnoxis or not highly interested would be immediately rejected since the agency did not want to waste their valuable time. Our son was called and we could not go do to the room size and our wheel chairs. He came out and had a card stating he was accepted, but must attend another interview the next day. My wife and I suffer from multiple conditions and like all parents wanted to help our son succed. We pushed our selfs to go to this meeting and pushed our selves to go the next day. We were now absolutely exhausted. We met the next girl and she "interviewed" our son. We brought some pictures that they had asked us to bring and she left with them. She came back in and stated that her agency was interested in representing my son as a model and actor. We would only have to pay $495 up front and an additional $39 monthly fee which gave our son access to their database for searching for jobs. My wife signed "on the doted line". She said they have training for actors and models on Saturdays. She took my son out for "comp" pictures, which would he could print out at home and present at auditions. We were told our son was now a "Talent", an real ego stroke. We were handed a group of papers and told our son had homework to fill out all of his interests and talents.
He was to report again at a specified time and date.
When we got home that night we were exhausted and happy. I laid against my bed and read through the papers. I found he was to report and be prepared to pay for a Professional photographer. They had a photographer that was "successful and used specifically by them". They had a website for the photographer which had very little information and a flashy video. I then started thinking, that from what I saw of this talent agency, no models were around at all, no actors or agents working during this whole interview process, in fact there were no professional studio facilities or any room for actors to train. Only the room that was setup to take masses of people. Now we were to pay more money and this was the first night for our "Talented Son". I then started plugging search key words into the search engines associated with One Source Talent and 'problem, complaint, I also looked up the Better Business Bureau which showed 45 complaints but no information. I then found this site and found a lot of unhappy people with the same story and more information of the scam we walked "rolled" into.
One Source Talent wanted us to pay by automatic withdrawal, but my wife and I have never trusted the automatic withdrawal setup for any payment and instead paid by check. I got on line and put in a stop payment for our checks and we went to our bank this morning to make sure there is no way the "talent agency" could find another way to take money from our checking account since our check had the account information. We have been assured by our bank since we wrote a check, and put a stop payment on it, there is no way for them to take the money. I also tried to find about canceling contracts, but found little information, other then we must notify the people by registered mail. This morning my wife wrote a cancellation notice to the local and cooperate agency that we do no wish to use their services, they have no provides services in the short time, and they would not receive payment. Now we can only wait for months and see if their agency can get around our bank account and with draw money.

A driver advocacy group called Stop100.ca is trying to make speed limits a provincial election issue.
The group contends its safer for drivers to exceed 100 km/h on major arteries, but says the Ontario government is keeping limits artifically low to rake in money from speeding tickets issued.
NEWSTALK 1010 spoke to all three major parties, and got the following responses:
LIBERALS "We are not considering increasing the speed limits. Ontario's roads are consistently ranked among the safest in North America and WE are committed to keeping them that way."
TIM HUDAK: "It's not a priority. My focus is on jobs and getting people and goods moving at all during rush hour in the GTA."
NDP "At this point, increasing the speed limits on 400 series highways is not something the NDP has committed to, either for or against. An NDP government will work with the Ministry of Transportation to keep roads safe and reduce gridlock."

Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything (original 2011; edition 2012)
by Joshua Foer
Work details
Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything by Joshua Foer (2011)
No current Talk conversations about this book.
Moonwalking with Einstein was better than I expected it to be. I feel like there are many things I've gained from this book, which is exactly what I hope to get from reading non-fiction. First of all, this book is part history about memory and what memory actually means, but also I think partly a self-help book. Foer touches on memory techniques, meaning techniques to help improve your memory - much of which is helpful. There is an exercise which Foer is made to do and he advices the reader to try do as well - it's an exercise to memorize a certain group of items. Even though I did this exercise at least two weeks ago, I still remember all of the items I was meant to memorize. That's enough to convince me the merit to the techniques, if used wisely of course.
There were also several points I found interesting in the history of memory, for example the role that it has played in society and how that has changed since technology has evolved, especially since the introduction of books. Another interesting aspect was the way that memory shapes our lives, what it means in terms of being human - how it gives us a frame of reference, how it helps us understand the world around us. So many interesting and thought provoking points throughout this book, and yet I find the most important one to be what Foer ends the book with - that perfect memory might not be something that desirable, but that being aware and being more mindful of the world is. The things I've gained from this book is something I will carry with me.
Recommended by Amazon.
This book delves into the history of memory – how it's been used throughout history, the study of it, etc. - and also the journey of the author as he goes from a man with an "average" memory to the U.S. Memory Competition. It was a very interesting, well written book by this first time author. While he went into detail on the subject matter of memory and how the brain works, it wasn't overly scientific (which is good since science is not my strong suit). However, I did find some parts a bit dry and repetitive and wish Foer would have gone more into his own journey with memorization. But overall, a good, insightful book on the use of memory both in our past and present times. NOTE: this is not a self-help book, and while there were tips on how the "experts" become to well at their memorization skills, this is not the book for you if you are looking to sharpen your own skills.
I've always been fascinated by the role memory plays in...well, being human. This book explores just that with an enjoyable mixture of history, philosophy, science, and personal experience with memory athletes (not to mention the author becoming one). Highly recommended. I'd like to say that I'll never forget this book, but, well, I know better. Good thing I will have my record of reading it stored on this "external memory system," Goodreads!
This is pretty good. Foer uses his participation in the US Memory Championship to frame an investigation into what memory is and how it works. It's a fast read, with a handful of rather colorful characters and a fairly page-turning ending (even though you probably know the outcome if you've read any of the reviews). I particularly enjoyed the chapter where he describes how Ed Goode taught him the Memory Palace technique and invites the reader to participate. Good stuff!

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 159420229X, Hardcover)
Amazon Best Books of the Month, March 2011: Moonwalking with Einstein follows Joshua Foer's compelling journey as a participant in the U.S. Memory Championship. As a science journalist covering the competition, Foer became captivated by the secrets of the competitors, like how the current world memory champion, Ben Pridmore, could memorize the exact order of 1,528 digits in an hour. He met with individuals whose memories are truly unique—from one man whose memory only extends back to his most recent thought, to another who can memorize complex mathematical formulas without knowing any math. Brains remember visual imagery but have a harder time with other information, like lists, and so with the help of experts, Foer learned how to transform the kinds of memories he forgot into the kind his brain remembered naturally. The techniques he mastered made it easier to remember information, and Foer's story demonstrates that the tricks of the masters are accessible to anyone.
Q: First, can you explain the title of you book, Moonwalking with Einstein?
A: The title refers to a memory device I used in the US Memory Championship—specifically it's a mnemonic that helped me memorize a deck of playing cards. Moonwalking with Einstein works as a mnemonic because it's such a goofy image. Things that are weird or colorful are the most memorable. If you try to picture Albert Einstein sliding backwards across a dance floor wearing penny loafers and a diamond glove, that's pretty much unforgettable.
Q: What are the U.S. Memory Championships? How did you become involved?
A: The U.S. Memory Championship is a rather bizarre contest held each spring in New York City, in which people get together to see who can remember the most names of strangers, the most lines of poetry, the most random digits. I went to the event as a science journalist, to cover what I assumed would be the Super Bowl of savants. But when I talked to the competitors, they told me something really interesting. They weren't savants. And they didn't have photographic memories. Rather, they'd trained their memories using ancient techniques. They said anyone could do it. I was skeptical. Frankly, I didn't believe them. I said, well, if anyone can do it, could you teach me? A guy named Ed Cooke, who has one of the best trained memories in the world, took me under his wing and taught me everything he knew about memory techniques. A year later I came back to the contest, this time to try and compete, as a sort of exercise in participatory journalism. I was curious simply to see how well I'd do, but I ended up winning the contest. That really wasn't supposed to happen.
Q: What was the most surprising thing you found out about yourself competing in the Memory Championships?
A: In the process of studying these techniques, I learned something remarkable: that there's far more potential in our minds than we often give them credit for. I'm not just talking about the fact that it's possible to memorize lots of information using memory techniques. I'm talking about a lesson that is more general, and in a way much bigger: that it's possible, with training and hard work, to teach oneself to do something that might seem really difficult.
Q: Can you explain the "OK Plateau?"
A: The OK Plateau is that place we all get to where we just stop getting better at something. Take typing, for example. You might type and type and type all day long, but once you reach a certain level, you just never get appreciably faster at it. That's because it's become automatic. You've moved it to the back of your mind's filing cabinet. If you want to become a faster typer, it's possible, of course. But you've got to bring the task back under your conscious control. You've got to push yourself past where you're comfortable. You have to watch yourself fail and learn from your mistakes. That's the way to get better at anything. And it's how I improved my memory.
Q: What do you mean by saying there an "art" to memory?
A: The "art of memory" refers to a set of techniques that were invented in ancient Greece. These are the same techniques that Cicero used to memorize his speeches, and that medieval scholars used to memorize entire books. The "art" is in creating imagery in your mind that is so unusual, so colorful, so unlike anything you've ever seen before that it's unlikely to be forgotten. That's why mnemonists like to say that their skills are as much about creativity as memory.
Q: How do you think technology has affected how and what we remember?
A: Once upon a time people invested in their memories, they cultivated them. They studiously furnished their minds. They remembered. Today, of course, we've got books, and computers and smart phones to hold our memories for us. We've outsourced our memories to external devices. The result is that we no longer trust our memories. We see every small forgotten thing as evidence that they're failing us altogether. We've forgotten how to remember.
Q: What is the connection between memory and our sense of time?
A: As we get older, life seems to fly by faster and faster. That's because we structure our experience of time around memories. We remember events in relation to other events. But as we get older, and our experiences become less unique, our memories can blend together. If yesterday's lunch is indistinguishable from the one you ate the day before, it'll end up being forgotten. That's why it's so hard to remember meals. In the same way, if you're not doing things that are unique and different and memorable, this year can come to resemble the last, and end up being just as forgettable as yesterday's lunch. That's why it's so important to pack your life with interesting experiences that make your life memorable, and provide a texture to the passage of time.
Q: How is your memory now?
A: Ironically, not much better than when I started this whole journey. The techniques I learned, and used in the memory contest, are great for remembering structured information like shopping lists or phone numbers, but they don't improve any sort of underlying, generalizable memory ability. Unfortunately, I still misplace my car keys.

Income tax season started Friday for individual taxpayers, and while many taxpayers might not be in a hurry to file their returns, it's a sure bet that criminals are poised to push the send button and transmit bogus documents.
Using the victim's Social Security number, they snag a refund before the legitimate taxpayer files.
A 2013 Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration report found that while the IRS is stopping more fraudulent returns, it issued an estimated $3.6 billion in potentially bogus 2011 refunds.
The problem of tax-related identity theft continues to grow, along with identity theft overall. Take the recent Target and Neiman Marcus breaches.
"There is nothing a large company can do to completely protect itself," said Jonathan Bochese, an attorney at Jacksonville, Fla.-based Tax Defense Network, a tax resolution firm. "There are people out there trying to hack websites. If a database exists, someone can get into it."
What's a legitimate taxpayer to do? Beat the crooks to it.
"If you file your return as close to opening day as possible, it minimizes the chance the fraudulent return will get there first," Bochese said. "The IRS will process the return they get first."
Bochese said a mailed return can take 10 to 20 days to enter the IRS' system, so e-filing is advised.
If the IRS becomes aware you have been a victim of tax return fraud, it will send you a letter, not an email. The IRS never sends emails, Bochese said.
The IRS has issued six-digit identity protection PINs to taxpayers who have been victimized in past years. This year, the IRS expects to provide more than 1.2 million taxpayers with PINs. For the second tax season in a row, the number of PINs has nearly doubled from the year before. The PIN allows these individuals to avoid delays in filing returns and receiving refunds.
From 2011 through November 2013, the IRS reported, it stopped 14.6 million suspicious returns and protected over $50 billion in fraudulent refunds. This year, it's also increasing both the number and efficiency of the identity theft filters that are used to identify potentially fraudulent returns due to identity theft before it processes a return and releases any refund.
While identity theft is a huge issue that will continue to increase, Bochese's advice is not to be fearful, but to be aware.
Here are his tips on lowering your risk of becoming a victim of identity theft:
• Do not carry your Social Security card with you. Keep your Social Security card and any other document with your Social Security number on it in a safe place, like a locked fireproof box or safe. The easiest way to get your identity stolen is through your Social Security number and legal name.
• Be wary of giving out personal/financial information. Remember, the IRS, banks and other financial institutions will not communicate with you via email. To best protect your identity, do not use your Social Security number online or through email or text.
• Protect your online accounts. Check for the secure transaction label when making payments online and be aware of any security breaches with regularly used national retailers. In addition, be careful of the information (like birth names, addresses, places of employment, etc.) you show on your social media accounts. Be sure to have a solid firewall, anti-malware software, and to regularly change your passwords.
• Check your credit report regularly. The best way to stay on top of your identity is through credit reports. Go to AnnualCreditReport.com and get a free report from each of the three credit bureaus once a year.
• Be proactive. If you suspect someone is using your identity or has your information, contact the IRS using Form 14039 to inform them of the potential issue. This will lock your account and, although it will make it more difficult for you to receive information from the IRS, it may prevent thieves from defrauding you or the government.

I've never received this order !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not happy, too bad!! by Eagluvr from WI10/24/2011
Tried to exchange for a bigger size, and they would NOT hear of it. In my opinion, ANY company that gets your money, then keeps it, no matter if the customer is happy or not, does NOT deserve a re-visit. I gave it away. Quality was nothing special, I could have done just as well at the pet-store, at least it would have fitted!! NEVER AGAIN!!!
Cute! by Kristi11/13/2013
We had to attach the halo to our dog's collar; it would not stay on her head. Besides that, the costume was perfect. The halo still hung over her head even though it was attached to her collar.
Featured Reviews for Casual Canine Angel Paws Costume - XLARGE
Cute costume by Fayejaz from Greenville, SC10/27/2011
I think this costume is better suited for smaller dogs. While very cute, the material it is made of does not translate all that well to the bigger frames of larger dogs. The body is made of a jersey knit type material that stretches and at least on a bigger dog doesn't stay in place. If it were made of a more sturdy material (like their devil costume), I think it would be a much better costume. It will be a chore to keep this on my dog for any period of time. She does look cute in it though.
best large dog costume by luv dogs10/15/2012
I ordered the Xl angel costume for my golden lab. I have ordered numerous costumes and this was the best quality. The costume was very roomy and the material was very nice. Usually I have to add material or Velcro to make the costumes work. Not this one. My dogs length is 29". I highly recommend this one.
halloween costume by theinvitelady10/29/2011
I love my dog's halloween costume. I also loved the price.
best costume ever by luvdogs11/12/2012
Very roomy costume. Well made and not skimpy. The halo though was designed for a little dog.

I'll repeat my earlier suggestion, that actually makes the score usefully distinct from the modifier, as a simple means of scaling:
1 (+0)
2-3 (+1)
4-6 (+2)
7-10 (+3)
11-15 (+4)
16-21 (+5)
Or start the mods at +1, if you prefer. It really doesn't matter much on that end, since only monsters would ever have a score that low. It works ok for rolling stats, since the vast majority of the rolls will be in the 7-15 range, and only one off. Point buy is dirt simple. One point gets you one point of score. The chart can be extended as high as you want. "Normal" is around +3 or +4, which gives a nice psychological boost.
More esoteric, you now have one thing that scales more rapidly than the other. So if you base encumbrance directly off of Str score, but melee hit/damage off of Str mod, big creatures can carry somewhat realistic amounts (without funky math) while not overwhelming smaller creatures (acknowledging a key unreal aspect of D&D). I suspect that other such distinctions can be readily found for the other abilities, if there is a handy mechanical means to represent them.

I was thinking about this too.
Perhaps there could be a 2 Tiered approach for all abilities.
Strength gives +0 at 10-11, +1 at 12-13, and +2 at 14+. Higher values of strength just increase carrying capacity.
But for Fighters, Rangers, Paladins, Barbarians and people with the Slayer theme and Half Orcs, they can get higher bonus to hit and damage for 16+ Strength.
People trained in a skill can use Strength at the full (Ability-10)/2 bonus.
Only Rangers, Monks, Rogues, Elves, and Bards can add more than +2 from their Dex to light armor.
Only Bards, Paladins, and Halflings can add more than +2 from Charisma to a fear based saving throw.

1-Remove the 1/2 level malarkey from all character's and monster's attacks, defences, and skills.
2-Remove +X items/Inherent Bonuses
3-Use the actual ability score itself for defences of all characters and monsters (so if you have an 18 Str and a 15 Con, you have a Fort 18)
The math works out okay so far.

That holds for all the principal characteristics in AD&D. 18 gets you a lot more than 14 or less. Often it's the difference between a +4 modifier and none at all.
It's far more true of B/X or BECMI D&D, with its
Code:13-15 +1 16-17 +2 18 +3

BECMI, Str breaks down as:
3) -3
4-5) -2
6-8) -1
9-12) +0
13-15) +1
16-17) +2
18) +3
As for AD&D, it was odd, you'd get jack for Str until 16 (+1 to damage), 17 gave you +1 to hit and damage, then 18 gave you +1/+2 (the percentile thing was unlike any other ability score).

Comparing the editions in terms of the steepness of the attributes curve, I'd say:
AD&D 1e and 2e
B/X and BECMI
OP's system
So the OP's system is not particularly old school or new school, but it is closest to that of B/X and BECMI.

THE WHOLE ABILITY SCORE. If you make "skills " opposed or DC based checks, the guy with 18 Str will crush the guy with 10 Str in an opposed arm wrestling check.
As has been pointed out, when you control the math to the degree that happens in 4E, (and Bounded Accuracy in 5E means controlled math), the mathematics DEMAND, you put your highest score in you prime attribute for the accuracy boost. This is why you need flatter and smaller boost for The "Plus to hit" portion.
Ability Score Minus 10, not allowing for inherent Magic items, like Gauntlets of Ogre Strength is something I think you can avoid when "the plus" part is minimized, but the whole score goes to ability/skills check.
Suddenly inherent magic items are less about enhancing to hit, bonuses spells, dmg and the like, but more about expanding you play options.
Take the 1E style Gauntlets of Ogre Str, where the item changes your Str score to a ridiculously high number. The Wizard that puts the Gauntlets on does not become an overpowered melee machine capable of dealing more dmg with his dagger than his Magic Missle. No instead, he gets better at climbing, jumping, wrestling, etc. A lot better. In fact the half Orc ranger that ate his Twinkie and beat him in arm wrestling better look out!

Ronin is a 2D turn based game in which you take the persona of a motorcycle helmet wearing samurai set on a course to kill five targets who you've got bad blood with. With the ability to play each level either stealthily or gung-ho, Ronin is a challenging yet very fun game!
Out of combat with enemies, the game isn't turn based, with the player being able to move freely around the level and also is given the ability to stealth kill bodyguards – as long as you're unnoticed. That being said, when you are in combat that is where the magic occurs. As it is turn based combat every movement or strategy you execute can change within a turn, moving to different locations or killing/stunning different enemies.
The key to winning the battles you face is the jump arc. With the player given the ability to jump to an enemy and knock them down, thereby stunning them, this gives a new aspect to the game when dealing with multiple enemies. One feature that was really enjoyable about this aspect was how the environment around you interacts with your actions as well as the enemies. A good example of this is jumping at an enemy and they fly through a glass window and out to their death. By using little tricks like this as well as using one enemy to stun multiple enemies, it makes the game a little more ingenious, requiring thought for the best course of action every turn cycle.
Another enjoyable aspect of the game is the skill points earned. With successful completion of all the objectives in a mission – civilians are alive, enemies are all dead and data is obtained/an enemy is killed, you obtain a skill point which are used for skills such as stunning multiple enemies or teleport attacks within game. These skills allow for more elaborate game play with your techniques in-game becoming more stealthy and complex.
At times whilst playing the game, it was a struggle to get the jump arc to correctly be followed, with the character not following the projected arc at times. Also the main point of the game is to not get hit, so if you get hit by one bullet, well then it's game over.
Overall the game was highly enjoyable for what it is. I thoroughly enjoyed the mechanics as well as the little 'hints' put in-game such as "the jump arc isn't really a jump arc" which did make for a laugh whilst playing.

"I can take Daylily to the church of the Stormlords just down the street. If I enter as my charming self, the clerics of the sea and storms will hold me in higher regard. I should be able to purchase several healing potions there. How much gold, sorry Daylily, yellow metal do we have to spend on potions? Besides, I am the only one here strong enough to carry him if he gets woozy."
"I knew I would be returning to the dry church of Tanager. I just didn't expect it to be this soon. I wonder if that gnome was pushing dreams into my head while I was sleep."
oocI have a meta reason to visit 'da church'.

"Sounds fine by me. I have two potions yet myself. If you are going, best hurry" The halglin hands over two gems, "This should be enough for two more potions."
((2 50gp gems for 2 potions of CLW, if you can find them))

"Come Daylily. We go to healer to make you better."
Arianna and Daylily return about an hour later. "Sorry it took so long, but it was worth the wait." Grinning, an old holy symbol of Tanager hangs about her neck that was not there before.Story they will tell of while they were away
Arianna leads Daylily down the street, farther than she remembered from coming in. Once they are in eyesight of the towering temple of Tanager, the Lord of the Stormkin, she whispers, "I will need my pretty face in there." A muffled growl is heard as she dismisses her battle skin. Pulling her crutches from her backpack and adjusting her cloak so it is closed, she turns back to Daylily. "Let's go."
Moving more slowly, but not as slow as she is used to, Arianna enters the church with Daylily at her side. She dismisses the thought of it as just the urgency of the mission. Approaching the most important looking halfling there, "My friend has been hurt in battle. We have come here for healing for him and to purchase potions so we may continue the battle."
"And what is this battle?" looking up at the slow moving woman in a full cloak.
"Undead creatures block the way to a thief we have been hunting." She shifts her weight to her tail and then tosses back on side of her cloak over her shoulder, revealing her true nature.
"Ah, em. My lady. You do not look like one who fights. Let me see." With a little casting, his eyebrow raises. Staring longer, he chuckles.
"Do it yourself!"
Confused, "But I cannot. I can heal Teq Oola, but only because he is a part of me. I cannot heal Daylily."
"Yes, Yes you can." The halfling steps forward, grabing her cloak and ruffling it, opening it wider and searching. "Now where is it?" Looking into her eyes, his brighten. "If you hand me that" as he points to her headband, "I will show you."
She takes the headband off. and hands it to the halfling. "That was my mother's."
"Tis here... In the beads... Tanager's pearls. These were your mother's prayer beads at one time. Tanager has been watching over you. He has chosen you. He has gifted you. Your battling ways will continue, but so will his way."
The halfling wanders over to one of the alters, retrieves something from it, then returns to the pair. Looking to Daylily, "Come here proud and fragrant one. It is time for your friend to learn."
"Take this my lady." as he holds an old, ornately carved wooden holy symbol. "Hold it firmly and feel the power of Tanager flow through you. Push that power out into the world in a flash. (in Aquan) Heal!"
"Heal!" as the energy flows through her and the symbol, she understands pieces of her dreams.
"That's it. Now to prayers." He goes over to the alter and picks up a book. "Umm, do you?" She shakes her head. Snapping his fingers, a younger acolyte comes running over and bows. "Teach the lady of the sea her prayers."
"But I haven't time! We have friends waiting for us to return to the hunt."
"Just do the basics. Bless, cure and speed. She could use it." Turning back to Arianna, "I will tend to your friend while you learn your chants. Memorize them. Come back after your hunt to finish your training. Take this book. If you are going to spend time above the line, you should take the time to learn to read. Much wisdom is stored in the books."
While Arianna is learning a couple prayers and chants, the old inquisitor priest heals Daylily of his wounds.
After a rushed job of memorization, "And now to our fees. It has been a pleasure opening your eyes to your true path, but we do have to collect for our work. How many potions did you want?"
"We have five people, so ten might be good. We used five just getting in through the trapped door. How much of that healing energy will I be able to do on my own?"
He snaps his fingers and an acolyte goes running off. "It depends on your strength of character. Probably six times in a day. All the people close to you will benefit at the same time. The prayers will allow you to heal individual people as well."
Rummaging through her sack, pulling out all that she has earned so far, as well as Saranna's two gems, she finds she is a bit short. "Daylily, he needs more yellow metal." Between the two of them, they pay for the potions. (will figure split after GM gets back from family outing)
"We have to go. We have spent too long as it is."
"Well... return after your hunt. And good luck."
Once they are out of the building, Arianna puts down her cloak, pack, weapons and her new holy symbol. She brings forth her battle armor, and gets redressed. This time, the holy symbol hangs around her neck. "That's new."
oocThuvian and Arianna have enough XP to level. (1340) I dislike poof leveling, and the story in my head was too good to pass up at the moment, even if it stretches the LPF rules a tad bit. I have a lot of sorting to do with Qik as to how many of the 8 potions I could afford after leveling. 2 paid by Saranna, and Daylily has pleanty of gold. There are 14 CLW potions in the Arcane Row, but do we register the purchase there that would be at a church? Me the judge, and I don't know.
Payments to process after the weekend:
10 CLW potions (2 Saranna's gems cover)
1 wooden holy symbol
1 prayer book
2-3 direct castings of cure light wounds
Priest/Inquisitor: An inquisitor has access to Arcane Sight, so could look into her soul and see what casting she could do.

Arianna hands over two blue potions of cure light wounds to each of her comrades. "These are simple cure light wounds potions. Tanager has blessed me as one of his children. I did not get all of my training, but will be able to provide more healing myself as Ioseph did."
"Oh, these two red potions I carry only heal Teq. Do not try to drink them or feed them to me if we are down. He must be conscious and available to process their magic."

The five ascend the staircase and return to the dilapidated sanctuary. While Arianna assists Daylily to the temple of Tanager, the remaining three keep watch in the church, although there is little to see except for the occasional bird flying to and from a few nests built among the rafters and the lengthening of shadows as the sun makes its journey across the afternoon sky. Once the pair return, sharing the surprising developments of the trip, the begin to turn their attention back to the business at hand.
Descending the staircase, past the still bodies of their assailants, they inspect the door before them, which appears to be both unlocked and untrapped.
OOC: We'll sort out the finances later; we're almost at the end, so I'm going to save myself the trouble of the number crunching until I can do it all at once. Anyone have a suggestion on how much it costs for a healer? My assumption is 50 gp for a casting of CLW.
It took two castings to get Daylily up to max health. Also, are you saying that Daylily is taking 5 of the 10 potions Arianna bought? Or are these an additional 5?
Let me know if you're keeping the same marching order (Arianna in the front, Daylily in the rear, the rest in the middle), and any buffing, etc, before you attempt to enter the doors.

OOC: Same marching order. Daylily will want 5 potions. If he can only get 4, he only gets 4. Not sure how the stock works out.
Casting costs at 10g x spell level x caster level. Most likely 10g per CLW casting.

Shareholders of aQuantive have agreed to accept a buyout offer from Microsoft, according to Securities and Exchange Commission documents filed by aQuantive on Thursday.
Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will pay aQuantive shareholders $66.50 in cash per share to acquire all outstanding shares of the digital advertising company.
All told, the deal is worth about $6 billion.
Some analysts have suggested that Microsoft may be overpaying. The $66.50 purchase price represents an 85% premium over aQuantive's closing share price on May 17, the day prior to the deal's announcement.
The purchase price also represents a sizeable, 67-times-earnings multiple and a revenue multiple of 7.6, based on aQuantive's projected calendar year 2008 results.
Analysts at Friedman Billing Ramsey said in a report that Microsoft is paying "a hefty price" for aQuantive. They noted, however, that the company may have had to pay a high premium for the online advertising agency -- whose operating units include Avenue A/Razorfish -- or risk losing it to a rival. Microsoft "must do something to close the gap in online advertising between itself and Google and Yahoo," said the analysts.
In the fiscal year ended in July, Microsoft reported $2.47 billion in revenue in online services, including advertising -- an increase of 7.4%.
In April, Google announced a $3.1 billion deal to buy online ad service provider DoubleClick, a company in which Microsoft was thought to be interested.
One month later, Microsoft said that would acquire aQuantive in its largest purchase to date. The deal is widely seen as an attempt to improve Microsoft's ability to compete against Google as a provider of search advertising.
According to Internet metrics firm ComScore, Google accounted for 50.7% of U.S.-based Internet searches in May, compared to 10.3% handled by Microsoft sites.

Saul Alvarez: Angulo, Vanes Both Deserve Their Shot
By Chris LaBate
The WBC recently ordered an mandatory eliminator between junior middleweight contenders Alfredo Angulo and Vanes Martirosyan. The winner would face WBC champion Saul "Canelo" Alvarez, who defends his title against Alfonso Gomez on September 17 at Staples Center in Los Angeles, California. Speaking with BoxingScene.com's Luis Sandoval, Alvarez said the winner deserves his shot at the title.
"Both are very good fighters. I think they both deserve a shot with me. I know they are both good fighters, I repeat, but I'm going to prepare well for anybody. Whether it's Angulo, Martirosyan, or whoever. My first thing is Alfonso Gomez and then I'll think about the other guys," Alvarez told BoxingScene.com.

Release Date:
June 1, 2010
The direct-to-video Deep Red combines science fiction with domestic melodrama. Lindsay Haun plays Gracie, a youngster whose bloodstream is infected by a strange, extraterrestrial element. Known as "Deep Red," this element increases Gracie's protein count, rendering her invulnerable and possibly immortal. Ruthless researcher Thomas Newmeyer (John DeLancie) plans to exploit the girl for his own purposes, even if he has to drain every ounce of blood from her body. Hero Joy Keys (Michael Biehn), an honest scientist, tries to stop Newmeyer's skullduggery -- and in the process, Keys patches up his tattered relationship with his estranged wife. ~ Hal Erickson, RoviIt Came From Outer Space is one of a handful of science fiction films from the 1950s that plays as well today as it did on its original release, this despite the fact that its original 3-D elements seem to be lost. It was also the first science fiction effort of director Jack Arnold, and one of three excellent 3-D features that he made (the others were Creature From the Black Lagoon and Revenge of the Creature) during that format's short-lived history. It was also, along with The Incredible Shrinking Man, one of the two most sophisticated films he ever made in that genre. Additionally, it was Arnold's first opportunity to use the desert setting that seemed to inspire him in some of his best subsequent movies. Based on a story by Ray Bradbury, the movie starts off in a gentle, lyrical mode, almost reminiscent of +Our Town, as the narrator introduces the tiny Arizona town where the action will take place. Writer John Putnam (Richard Carlson), a new arrival to the town and an amateur astronomer, is looking at the skies with his fiancée, schoolteacher Ellen Fields (Barbara Rush), when they see what looks like a huge meteor crash into the desert. Putnam and Ellen go to the site of the crash and find a huge crater. When he goes down inside, Putnam sees what is very obviously some kind of vehicle or device embedded in the ground, but before he can show it to anyone, a rock slide buries what he saw. He reports that a spacecraft of some kind is buried there and is duly ridiculed by the local press and some of his own colleagues in the astronomical community, and even Ellen has her doubts. The local sheriff, Matt Warren (Charles Drake), is downright hostile because he believes that Putnam is not only an interloper, but has also taken Ellen away from him. Putnam is at a loss as to what to do, and doing something -- or, perhaps, not doing anything -- becomes a critical matter when various townspeople start to disappear, including Ellen, to be replaced by alien "duplicates." A small but significant part of this action is told from the standpoint of the aliens, who are only glimpsed in brief flashes as they move through the desert and the underground caves where they are hiding. Putnam ultimately comes to understand that the aliens are actually benign and only need time to repair their ship and leave; but by then, the sheriff and the rest of the town have started taking his original warning seriously and their intervention threatens the lives of everyone. Reason and a peaceful approach prevail, but only just barely, and the space travelers are allowed to go on their way -- in return, they restore the real townspeople. The movie ends on a hopeful note as Putnam predicts that someday, when we're ready here on Earth, the visitors will be back to make formal, peaceful introductions. ~ Bruce Eder, RoviNelson McCormick's paranoid thriller Control Factor stars Adam Baldwin as Lance Bishop. One day, Lance is attacked by a total stranger as he walks down the street, begins hearing voices, and believes those voices are encouraging him to kill his wife (Elizabeth Berkley). Lance discovers that he is the subject of a government plot to control the people of the world. ~ Perry Seibert, RoviFollowing her brother's death, a graduate student

Laid-Off Workers Swelling the Cost of Disability Pay
By LOUIS UCHITELLE
Published: September 2, 2002
Millions of low-skilled workers have turned to federal disability pay as a refuge from layoffs in recent years, doubling the benefit's cost and, with little notice, making it by far the government's biggest income-support program.
Most of those qualifying for the benefits, part of the Social Security system, never got past high school and held jobs like factory worker, waitress, store clerk, laborer or health care aide. Their numbers have grown to 5.42 million today from 3 million in 1990, swelling the program's costs to $60 billion last year. That far surpasses unemployment insurance or food stamps or any other similar program.
"Show me a high school dropout, particularly a male, who is over the age of 40 and is not working and there is a 40 to 45 percent chance that he is on Social Security disability insurance," said David H. Autor, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
It is not that disabling injuries are occurring more frequently or that more people are cheating a system that requires considerable evidence to prove disability. Research by a number of economists indicates that the growing numbers signal instead a reliance on disability benefits by low-end workers who had ignored their ailments as long as their limited skills brought them steady employment. Some who would have gone on welfare now apply for disability pay instead.
"When you are a person who has lost a job, and you can't find another and you are home sitting on the couch," said Morley White, an administrative law judge in Cleveland who rules on disability claims, "you become preoccupied with ailments that do qualify in many cases as legal disability but while you were working did not come into your mind."
Neither Congress nor the White House has challenged the skyrocketing cost of disability insurance, which will go up an additional $9 billion this year, reaching $69 billion, the Social Security Administration estimates. By comparison, the agency expects to pay out $382 billion in traditional old-age pensions in 2002, financing both pensions and disability payments through the same payroll tax. The debate on the financial health of Social Security has focused on the much larger pension system.
"There was always a bigger issue in the news to distract us and disability just crept up on us," said Kevin M. Murphy, a University of Chicago economist. "It is the tortoise in the tortoise and hare story."
The surge in the disability rolls started with the early 1990's recession, and the numbers climbed steadily as layoffs became common, even in the boom years of the late 90's. Hard times over the last 18 months produced another surge in the disability rolls, which grew by nearly 400,000 people in that period, unevenly across the country. State officials process the disability claims, acting as agents for Social Security, and some states have been more generous than others.
"In tough times, there is a tendency at the state level to cut people a little slack," said Charles A. Jeszeck, a labor economist at the General Accounting Office.
The rising numbers of people on disability take some of the gloss off the prosperity of the late 1990's. Unemployment fell and in the tight labor markets jobs went begging, even at the low-paying end. But the Labor Department counts as unemployed only those people actively seeking new jobs. When people stop looking and drop out, including people who go on the disability rolls, they no longer count as unemployed.
Those dropouts surged in number in the late 1990's. There were so many that if they had been counted as unemployed, the unemployment rate would have been higher, perhaps by as much as half a percentage point, according to new research by Dr. Autor and Mark Duggan, a University of Chicago economist.
Not all of the dropouts applied for disability pay, of course, but many of them did, Dr. Murphy found in a study he did with Robert H. Topel, also a Chicago economist, and Chinhui Juhn of the University of Houston. "More than 40 percent of the growth in nonparticipation is associated with an increase in men claiming to be ill or disabled," the three wrote in a recently published paper.
The 5.42 million people on disability pay, receiving $819 a month on average, is equal to 4 percent of those who hold jobs today. That increased from 2.5 percent in 1990, after barely rising at all in the 1980's, although Congress broadened the definition of disability and made proving it easier in 1984. It became particularly easier in the cases of back trouble and mental health problems, which can now include depression, manic behavior and other "mood disorders." Back trouble and mental stress are the two most cited ailments in disability awards.
"You have to be basically unable to function in a working environment," Dr. Autor said about the broader guidelines. "Before 1984, you had to have a specific qualifying ailment, like schizophrenia or a broken back."
Seventy-five percent of those on disability have a high school diploma or less education, the Social Security Administration reports. Their limited skills mean they are often still without a job five months after being laid off — the minimum time required to file for disability pay. Magnifying the problem, the low skilled find themselves mostly holding jobs that require physical exertion, Judge White said, and any ailment becomes an obstacle to landing the next job. So they turn to disability.
"I think that people who are better educated with transferable skills and other opportunities do not have to come before me to claim disability," the judge added.

Accused me of not reading the material when i was having difficulty in the beginning.
Stalled my practical training in the air midway through the program. The instructor had me doing the same 3-4 maneuvers for the last month of the school no matter how good i was at them. The last week i had to use up my flight time my instructor was too busy so he passed me off on all the other instructors who did progress me through to skills i should have been working on earlier in the program.
FAA regulations say that students need to pass with 70%, the class had a published standard of gaining 80% on pretests. [continued below]....
I had purchased 50 hours of flight time, the weather was crap during the summer and i had 26 hours left, they just absorbed my money and said thats the way it was, too bad. Used 2 months of my VA benefits and lost a unique window of time i had to begin this new career.
I was the oldest student in the class, even older than the instructors. I feel there was an element of discrimination there, because they worked hard with the other students but worked harder to not help me.

So if you are late they "lock" you out of class. Well you know there is a simple solution...show up on time. Other people do it. Why should you be treated special because you have to go through "highway projects"? I bet there are other people in your class that have to make an effort to get there on time.
The instructor had me doing the same 3-4 maneuvers for the last month of the school no matter how good i was at them.
- So who told you that you were perfect at them? Was it an instructor or your "feeling" that you were good enough?
FAA regulations say that students need to pass with 70%, the class had a published standard of gaining 80% on pretests.
- Wow you mean they want you to exceed the FAA requirements and not just barley pass. As an airline passenger I have absolutely no problem with that, in fact I would hope that the students get closer to 100.
Perhaps pilot school is not really your thing.

Marketing with no media kits..okay, no problem. No one was in the office, they were all in the field, ok. They say "professional attire", I saw guys in courderoy jackets with high waters and white socks with cheap loafers. Ok, dont be a snob. I met with a "supervisor" who was to evaluate my pitch in the field. All of these "marketers" met at the "office" at 9 and rallied themselves into a pitching fervor...discussing their successes on how they got people to sign up for Home Depot services in kitchen resurfacing or other "clients".
Now, I dont know what area of sales some of these people trained, but no one walks around saying," let me hear your pitch, let me hear your pitch". They then "study" and "teach" principles and fundamentals on getting people to sign up for services and continuously preach on how their people were responsible for generating "millions in revenue" by dedicated employees of the "firm".
Teams were then dispatched to a select group of targetted Home Depot's to speak to people and get them to sign up for free kitchen re-surfacing in home estimates. You are on your feet, walking the store, hawking and ogling, going after customers who are there to do legimate shopping. Now, the service is valid but here is the kick. The appointments must be made over the phone AFTER a prospect has signed, you are supposed to use the house phone to contact the call center, but it is advised you use your cell.....to prevent a fish getting off the hook.
The call center asks questions that DONT coincide with your own and usually kills the deal. You do this from say 11 am to 7, sometimes 8 or later. Then, you drive back to the office to turn in your sheets, and give a breakdown of the day. Then you discuss on tactics to gain more signatures. The second day, you hear the talk of top sellers that are moving on to start their own marketing firms and all this crappola.
The first three days, you are supposed to make $8 bucks an hour (what is that, I'm a grown a** man, but I needed a few bucks to hold me over until another gig popped off), then after three days, you made commission per confirmed signature AND appointments kept. After the second day, unless you are a desperate fool OR a master at getting signatures, you stay on.
After 6 months, you get "promoted" to Supervisor/trainer with the ultimate goal of being team leader and eventually, moving on to starting your own "firm". Its nothing but a pyramid scam. Tony Rodriguez, maybe in another life, we couldve sat down and drank a beer....but that pyramid of a company he is running is nothing but bunk!

Solomon'S General Store: Demonflesh Armour
Posted 12 February 2013 - 07:57 AM
This week, I have just a small reminder for you. Demonflesh Armour is still available from my store, and ideal for making an imposing impression when clashing with invading demon hordes.
Two monstrous outfits have been fashioned from the very flesh of sundered demons. Greater Demonflesh Armour is horrifying enough to instantly incite terror into the most fearless of warriors, while Lesser Demonflesh Armour strikes a more macabre and dreadful tone.
To accompany these outfits, the Demonflesh Book is the most diabolical dust-jacket in existence – and the first book override to be released at Solomon's.
It is also my distinct pleasure to announce February's free items for members, as promised last week. Until the first update of March, the Romeo Curtains and Jagged Topknot hairstyles will be available to claim - free of charge - by all RuneScape members.
My store is always open, so please do drop in at your earliest convenience. If you wish to purchase additional RuneCoins, you can do so here or by clicking 'Buy RuneCoins' inside mystore – and don't forget that I offer a 10% discount to all members.
Until next time.
Discuss this here.

Administration and Leadership Programs
About our Programs:
At Penn nursing, we recognize that students have diverse interests in advanced administrative or practice leadership fields. Programs are tailored to allow students the opportunity to design a course of study to best suit their career goals. These programs are unique in that students complete coursework within the School of Nursing and other programs throughout the University.
The following graduate degree programs are offered:
The School of Nursing offers this program for professional nurses who have the vision, creativity and intellect to change the course of healthcare. This program allows you unparalleled freedom to design the focus of your studies. Students may also elect to pursue various dual degrees: MSN and Master in Public Health (MPH) (16CUs), MSN and Master in Bioethics (MBE) (14 CUs) and the newly launched MSN and Master in Law (ML) in the Health Law Track (14 CUs).
Students separately apply to each school for dual degree programs and a plan of study is mutually developed with faculty from each program.
Students may also elect to declare a dual major within the School of Nursing and can combine an advanced practice clinical major with either an administrative or health leadership major. Students apply once to the School of Nursing but must be accepted to both majors.
"Leadership is the capacity to translate vision into reality." - Warren Bennis
