Vt. Senate defeats child care unionization bidMay 09,2013
The Associated Press
MONTPELIER — The Vermont Senate has beaten back another bid to pass legislation that would allow child care workers in the state to unionize for the purpose of negotiating subsidies and working conditions with the state.
Lt. Gov. Phil Scott ruled an amendment on the issue was not germane to a miscellaneous education bill and an effort to overrule that decision failed to get the required three-quarters majority.
Backers of the unionization effort say they're deeply disappointed, but not giving up.
Child care provider Judy Pransky says Scott's decision effectively labels child care providers as baby sitters, rather than early educators.
There may be an effort to attach the measure to another piece of legislation during the end-of-session rush.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER Grace Phelps scored twice, while Victoria Gates, Ally Brink and Alaura Rich also...

This review is from: Ceton Echo – Windows Media Center Extender Watch Live & Recorded TV/HDTV Access Personal Media Libraries on Any TV on Home Network, HDMI Interface, Remote Included
Pros: Handles not only TV but most video formats -- including MKV. I don't know what the other reviewer spec'd out; all you need do is download the Win 7 or 8 Video drivers to get all of these formats available on a pass-thru basis. That said, some formats in 1080p won't be viewable. So downsize.
Cons: I bought this for $179. It would be a good value for about $59 IMO (honest or not) but $179 was way over-priced and rather quickly reduced it $100 or so. Story of my life with PCs...
The remote was difficult to work with right from the get-go, until I replaced the batteries. Go figure. Wish they would update the software for the hardware, too.
Sometimes (well about 50% of the time) you need to restart the system to get the signal and video to handshake properly, which is a bit of a pain, but it does work the second time around. All said, it might be less frustrating to just use a cable box.
This review is from: ASUS GTX 600 GeForce GTX 650 Ti BOOST DirectX 11.1 GTX650TIB-DC2OC-2GD5 2GB 192-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 HDCP Ready SLI Support Plug-in Card Video Card
Pros: Nice size, feature set, works with every game I own (Solitaire I guess). Bought it for the cores and Adobe apps.
Cons: The $75 in-game offer that was included in the package actually expired April 30, 2013. It's now June 26th. I guess no one checks the little print.
Other Thoughts: Great card to waste $200 on. I mean that seriously. All my gamer friends think I'm an idiot for spending money on these more powerful graphic cards every 3 or so years when I don't game with them. But I use this computer for work and if it saves me 10 minutes a day or keep my eyesight from going buggy, it's worth the investment.READ FULL REVIEW
This review is from: ASUS TS500-E6/PS4 Pedestal Server Barebone Intel 5500 Dual LGA 1366 Dual Intel Xeon 5500 and 5600 Series
Pros: Great system and setup. Runs's my 2x 5160s w/48gb of ram surprisingly quiet (when it starts up it sounds like a helicopter taking off but then quiets down) and cool. No problems installing Win 2008R2 Hyper-V or Linux. I have 5 Win servers running concurrently.
Cons: Expandable to another 4 drives, except this costs about $400 additional and the disk board does not come with any ribbon cables so it's impossible to use! (Asus support told me that they don't sell the cage and card w/cabling, btw. I wonder if they actually have any buyers?)
Other Thoughts: I have 4 300GB WD 10K rpm drives and wanted to add a couple 1TB drives for shared drives but the expandability is problematic. For 500 more you can upgrade to the 8 drive version with a board that doubles the memory and the larger power supply, which is probably worth the price.READ FULL REVIEW

At first glance, Walmart's entrance into the market for refurbishing and selling used video games may appear to pose a significant threat to GameStop, whose pre-owned game sales clear substantial gross profit margins for the company. But several analysts who follow GameStop predict that the retailer will continue to enjoy the upper hand despite the new competition. Walmart launched its program in 3,100 stores on March 26, accepting thousands of games for Microsoft's Xbox 360, the ...

Belgium's position in world trade
The objective of the article is to give a general overview of the position that Belgium occupies in the world trade stakes and its ability to adjust in response to changes in the international environment. Over the last two decades, world trade has expanded considerably, buoyed up by the rapid growth of new economic centres, the advanced economies generally having seen a drop in their market share. However, the growth in Belgium's exports has lagged behind the average for twelve European countries going through the same major changes ; and the loss of market share has been higher than the average. A classical econometric analysis of price competitiveness shows up the limited role of relative export prices as a determinant in gains/losses of market share. This finding mainly reflects the fact that prices are largely fixed on international markets, producers cannot adjust their export prices according to the costs that they have to bear. In this context, a reasonable development of production costs, and with stronger reason wage costs, is essential in order to ensure the continuity of export activities. Beyond relative price effects, it is necessary to take into account structural elements in order to explain changes in market share. From this standpoint, it appears that the type of production has a crucial role to play. Faced with competition from emerging economies, Belgium's external trade performance in the case of standardised products has been well below world demand. On the other hand, high-value-added products or those of a highly innovative nature or with a high research content are the ones that enable it to maintain or improve on its position in global trade. Export activities and innovation share some common features, not least because they are concentrated in the hands of a small number of large enterprises. In view of the high foreign market entry costs, the best performing firms are the ones that tend to be the exporters. However, factors such as the innovative nature of products on offer can of course influence the likelihood of success on foreign markets. Here, innovation efforts by Belgian firms are not creating enough opportunities for marketing new products. Yet, it is most certainly goods with a high value added or highly innovative products that Belgium will be able to count on to ensure sustainable economic development and to support the prosperity of its people.

Tropes That Apply to All Characters:
- Holy Halo: Subverted. The halo does not indicate that they are angels, although speculation says otherwise.
- Laser-Guided Amnesia: No Haibane remembers their pasts, but remembers how to speak, do daily tasks, etc.
- Meaningful Name: Kana=River Fish, Kuu=Air, Reki=Little Stones, Hikari=Light, Nemu=Sleep, Rakka=Falling, Hyoko=Ice Lake.
- True Companions: Especially the Haibane in Old Home.
- Wings Do Nothing: They have wings, but are unable to fly.
- Winged Humanoid
- Voiced by: Ryo Hirohashi (JP), Carrie Savage (US)
- Audience Surrogate
- Break the Cutie: During her Sin-bound phase.
- Curtains Match the Window
- Despair Event Horizon: She hits it in episode 8, thanks to a combination of losing her best friend aside from Reki, becoming Sin-bound without fully understanding or knowing how to deal with it, and going through an existential crisis as a result of the former. Thankfully, she slowly manages to rebound from it in the following episodes with some help from the Communicator.
- Heroic B.S.O.D.: She goes through a massive one after Kuu's Day of Flight, which sent her into a depression well over a full month afterwards. She only gets worse when she discovers that she's Sin-bound, but thankfully, she eventually gets better.
- Idiot Hair: Her hair succumbs to high amounts of static during the first couple episodes. It eventually calms down.
- Naïve Newcomer: At first
- The Scream: After her wings fully sprout out of her back towards the end of the first episode. Given how painful it looks, it's quite understandable.
- Shrinking Violet: At first, she's quite shy around her fellow Haibane and even more so around the townspeople. However, she starts to become more open with everyone as the series progresses, especially with the ones who are more openly friendly towards her.
- You Are Not Alone: What she herself goes through when she realizes that the bird in her cocoon dream symbolized someone that previously knew and cared for her, which is what causes her to snap out of her Heroic B.S.O.D.. She latter applies this to Reki so that she can help her to break out of the Circle of Sin as well as her own Heroic B.S.O.D..
- Voiced by: Junko Noda (JP), Erika Weinstein (US)
- Becoming the Mask: She thought being nice to Rakka would help her. She just didn't realize how much Rakka would return the favor.
- Broken Bird: And how!
- Cool Big Sis: Especially towards Rakka, but aside from Nemu (who's two years older), she could qualify towards the other Haibane to a lesser extent as well.
- Dark and Troubled Past
- Despair Event Horizon: She hits in the final episode when Rakka brings her the stone tablet from the Haibane Renmei, which reveals the "true meaning" of her name, and causes her to remember the full extent of her dream, which involved getting hit by a train, and it's also implied that she intentionally placed herself in the train's path. This causes her to devolve into a self-loathing wreck, lamenting on how everything she did for others was out of selfishness and how she never had any chance for salvation, culminating in her yelling at Rakka to leave her like she thinks everyone else has. Thankfully, Rakka proves to her that she truly became a selfless person, that she is not alone, and breaks her out of the Circle of Sin, bringing her right back from this point almost just as quickly.
- Deuteragonist
- Heaven Seeker
- Heroic B.S.O.D.: At two different points. The first is in her backstory when Kuramori unexpectedly takes her Day of Flight, followed by Hyouko trying to help her escape, which results in him getting almost fatally injured due to trying to climb the walls, which she blames herself for. The second is in the final episode, particularly when Rakka delivers the stone tablet from the Haibane Renmei with her "true name" on it, causing her to remember the full extent of her dream, and come to the conclusion that she never had any chance for salvation. Thankfully, she is proven wrong.
- Railroad Tracks of Doom: Her dream.
- Room Full of Crazy: Her studio, as seen in the final episode.
- Smoking Is Cool: Her smoking habit appears to fall under this category at first, but it becomes more of a subversion as the series progresses, as it starts to turn into a clear sign of a deeply flawed and troubled character. When she quits in episode 11, it's a sign of her positive Character Development.
- Stepford Smiler: Played with. She sees herself this way, and while it's true to a certain extent, her acts of caring for others, including the smiling part, became more and more of a genuine trait over time.
- Team Mom: Particularly towards the Young Feathers, since she is in charge of taking care of them, and tends to act like a caring, but reasonably strict mother figure towards them. She partly qualifies for the older Haibane as well due to her tendency to look out for and take care of them as well.
- You Are Not Alone: She believes that everyone eventually leaves her in the end, especially when she hits the Despair Event Horizon in the final episode. However, Rakka invokes this towards her to not only prove her wrong, but to break her out of the Circle of Sin.
- Voiced by: Fumiko Orikasa (JP), Hunter MacKenzie Austin (US)
- A Day in the Limelight: Episode 3 to some extent. She has more of a prominent role than in most other episodes due to going with Rakka to the temple of the Haibane Renmei to return the halo mold, teaching her how to communicate with them without speaking, and being visited at her job at the bakery for the only time in the series.
- Meganekko
- Smart People Wear Glasses: Her glasses are definitely presented as a sign of how bright she is.
- Team Chef: She cooks for the Haibane of Old Home when Reki isn't available.
- Voiced by: Eri Miyajima (JP), Zarah Little (US)
- A Day in the Limelight: Episode 4, which is focused on her taking Rakka to her job and showing her what she does there on a regular basis. It also explores her Hidden Depths while they're at it.
- Brilliant, but Lazy: She's always late to her job, on purpose.
- Deadpan Snarker
- Genki Girl: Not overtly so, but applies nevertheless.
- Tomboy
- Wrench Wench: Single-handedly fixed the clock tower at Old Home.
- Voiced by: Akiko Yajima (JP), J-Ray Hochfield (US)
- Airplane Arms: Her favorite way to run. She even does it in the opening credits.
- Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: Literally
- Friend to All Living Things: As evidenced by her feeding an alley cat and sympathizing with the crows, wishing they could speak to and understand them, Kuu seems to care about all living things, human and non-human alike.
- Genki Girl: You never see her frown.
- It's All Junk: Gives her coat to Rakka.
- Kind Hearted Cat Lover
- The Pollyanna: She's pretty much always upbeat, cheerful and energetic.
- Sacrificial Lamb
- Too Good for This Sinful Earth: Thus her Day of Flight comes first, and seeing as she was the youngest, much sooner than most.
- Voiced by: Kazusa Murai (JP), Karen Strassman (credited as "Kirsty Pape") (US)
- A Day in the Limelight: Episode 5, which is focused on her job at the library and her relationship with Sumika, the senior librarian. It also focuses on Rakka helping her to finish a book she's writing as a gift she plans to give to Sumika.
- Bunny-Ears Lawyer: Despite her constant naps, she actually does do phenomenally good work at her job.
- Not a Morning Person
- Sleepyhead: Nemu has a reputation for constantly falling asleep.
Renmei Communicator
- Voiced by: Tamio Ohki (JP), Michael McConnohie (US)
- Cool Mask: Wears a spoon-like mask.
- The Faceless
- Good Shepherd: In his capacity as a quasi-religious leader for the Haibane, he is very much this.
- The Mentor: He ends up becoming something of a mentor figure to both Rakka and Reki, especially the way he starts offering advice to indirectly help them break out of the Circle of Sin they're each caught in.
- Reasonable Authority Figure: Turns out to be a good source of advice and wisdom for Rakka and Reki.
- Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa (JP), Wendee Lee (US)
- Motherly Side Plait: Fitting with her role towards the younger Haibane.
- Parental Substitute / Team Mom: To both Reki and Nemu years before the start of the series.
- Posthumous Character: Already had her Day of Flight years before, but still has some effect on the events in the series.
- Wendee Lee: One of her little-known roles.
MidoriA Haibane living in the Abandoned Factory. She's friends with Hyouko, but dislikes Reki.
- Aww, Look! They Really Do Love Each Other: She really doesn't despise Reki.
- Clingy Jealous Girl
- Hidden Depths

Historical Traveler Reviews Casa Monica, Autograph Collection Saint Augustine
FRIGHTFUL Nights of Lights at the CASA
My husband and I visited the Casa Monica late January 2004. Based on reviews and the great ratings we decided to splurge a little and stay at the Casa Monica. We purchased the Nights of Lights Package that included room, ghost tour, and breakfast. The hotel's location relative to all the shopping and tourist sites is fabulous. We noticed as we checked-in to our room at 4:15 PM that the halls were littered with the previous night's and that morning's room service trays. Also our Nonsmoking room strongly smelled of marijuana smoke and deodorizer.
Upon closer inspection, we found drug paraphanalia and marijuana in the bedside table. The manager was called and he removed the items from the room. We were not offered a different or better smelling room.
Furthermore, at 1:15 AM the hotel fire alarm went off, due to a reportedly irrational man pulling a fire alarm and discharging one of the Fire Extinguisher on the 2nd Floor. Then to top the whole stay, the alarm clock had been preset by someone other that us to go off at 6:00 am. This is by far my worst hotel experience.
Loved the Monica
We went for New Year's and thought the hotel was great. It was a great location, the lobby and restaurants were very nicely decorated and our deluxe room was very comfortable, quiet and had a view of the pool. The staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast and room service in the hotel was superb. The only problem was that our New Year's 7 course dinner that started at 8 p.m. was not over before midnight because of poor event planning and too few wait staff. However, when we complained they took part of it off the check (the meal was very good). The parking was very expensive and I would suggest not bringing a car if you can help it or finding a local garage nearby. We will return.
A very special stay.
We stayed there in April of 2002. Room was smaller than I expected, but the bed was very comfortable. The bathroom was very nice. Everything on the bed was changed everyday, even the bedspread. We walked everywhere, did not need our car. The first night there we had to leave the bar by 7:30 because of a previous engagement, but we were compensated with free drinks.
St Augustine: Very Quaint, Great for History Buffs
This review is on a short, three-night trip with friends to St Augustine. Everyone has different preferences, so just to give you an idea about us, we had about 16 people participating in this trip. Most of us are in our thirties, but some of our parents and our kids joined also.
Several of us stayed at the Casa Monica. Overall, it was a nice hotel.
Very conveniently located within the historic district. It's rated a four star, but I would have thought it was more of a three. We got a good price through Travelocity, so if we had been paying more I would have been disappointed. The guest rooms are very small. While tastefully decorated, they are due for a remodel. For example, the chair in our room was faded and worn, and the shower head didn't work properly. Our room overlooked the small pool area, which was quaint and pretty.
Service at the hotel was hit-and-miss. The valet staff was always great. The front desk staff during the day was also good. The restaurant staff was good for the most part. It was the front desk night staff that gave poor service. One guy (older gentleman) in particular, but I didn't get his name. Also, our first day there the housekeeper left our door slightly ajar, and left a bottle of cleaning fluid in the bathroom. Anyone could have entered our room and stolen our belongings--including our laptop which was sitting on the desk in plain sight. The head housekeeper apoligized, but did not offer us anything by way of apology. Most nice hotels I would have expected something for such a gross error (bottle of wine, dinner at their restaurant, etc.)
Enough about the hotel, now about St Augustine...A very nice city to visit. Interesting historical sights. I recommend the Trolley Tour (Green and Orange trolleys). It has 20 stops that you can get on and off most of the main sights. The architecture and historical sights on the tour were interesting. We also enjoyed the glass blowing shop (Creative ?) on San Marco. You can watch the artists and ask questions while they work.
Saint George Street shopping was lots of fun. The Bunnery Cafe (on St George) is an excellent place for breakfast. Wonderful cinnamon rolls, coffee, and other goodies.
Be sure to SKIP THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH. It's the lamest, cheesiest tourist trap that I've ever seen. Also, it's very poorly run. Their staff was arguing in front of us (one wanted to send our group one way, and the other wanted us to go somewhere else.) Doesn't exactly make you feel welcome. My entire group was completely disappointed.
The first night, we ate dinner at Columbia Restaurant. The food was great, but service extremely slow. We went to A1A Ale House afterwards, and enjoyed their live band and casual atmosphere. It was a friendly place with lots of folks dancing. The next night we went to Raintree Restaurant & Steakhouse. It was delicious, and I'd recommend it highly.
A warning for night owls, everything in St Augustine closes down by 1 am.
A little disappointing
Wow, what a nice renovation! I figured the service would be first class
also. Wrong. At check-in, the deskman was very polite, but when my
credit card was not accepted, insisted on another credit card rather
than follow his computer prompt to call for verification. I tried again
at checkout and received the same response. Housekeeping was a glaring
deficiency. Room service dishes were left in the hall up to 24 hours.
An envelope was slipped under our door after 5:00 with a note of
explanation that our room had not been serviced that day due to a Do
Not Disturb sign; however, a Please Clean This Room sign was displayed
at the time the note was delivered. I sensed that a minimalist staffing
model is being followed which inevitably compromises customer service.
I would stay at this hotel again because of the ambience and location,
but with lowered expectations as to level of service.
Also, I would like to compliment the restaurant for great food and pretty good service.
Room dirty
We were getting ready for our wedding and decided to check out our honeymoon suite before the wedding. Glad we did. Stairs very steep, room had an odor as well. The carpeting was very dirty with a big spot on it. The balcony was about 15 inches wide to see city with no chairs.
Not what you expect for $500 per nite. Restaurant is very good, lobby nice.
Casa Monica - lots of great reviews but we found the hotel and service to be inconsistent. It really is well-located for walking to sights, shopping, and restaurants. Our rooms were comfortable and clean, though not huge. But, the bathrooms were exquisite! Huge and beautifully tiled. The front desk service is very slow and not so knowledgeable. At most, only two front desk staff members were on duty and with long lines of people waiting to check in, order taxis (yes, in St Augustine, taxi cabs are not readily available and are extremely dirty!), it was discouraging for us to have to wait so long to get help. Not having a concierge really creates hassles. Also, we had to take a dirty cab ride to the Beach Club, which is a condo development. It gets extremely crowded on weekends, so beware! It does have a separate adult-only pool and that was great! Our biggest issue came when checking out. Someone added a charge to our bill that was incorrect. The hotel staff could not show the correct receipt, but a receipt someone had forged. Not only did we have to wait and re-explain the problem to staff and management, the charge was not completely removed from our bill. I do not understand how a charge we did not sign for and no receipt could be produced could be required to pay!!! However, we found the city of St.
Augustine to be so lovely and enchanting! The restaurants we enjoyed most were Peerce's, Harry's (sit outside!), and the best was Raintree.
They even have a shuttle that will pick you up and return you after dinner and the owner's lovely daughter is the driver! Also, we truly enjoyed the San Sebastian Winery - there was a band playing up on the top of the building and it was just a wonderful time! The trolley tours are definitely worth the money, but make sure you can hear the driver.
We got of our first trolley and waited for another who had a driver we could enjoy. Overall, a wonderful vacation! Casa Monica was not terrible, but it was not as wonderful an experience as it could have been...and what we had read!
Grand Casa Monica
This hotel is the perfect location for exploring St. Augustine. Right in the heart of the downtown area you are able to walk everywhere. This hotel is beautiful and sight to behold.
When we checked in the staff was attentive and sincere. The room was clean and very comfortable. A view of the courtyard and pool was very nice. Room was huge with a nice sitting area, small fridge and wet sink, and 2 queen beds, which were very comfortable. Large closet and spacious bathroom with tons of counter space.
The restaurant and bar are just as good. The food in the restaurant was delicious! The martini's in the lounge were the best I have had. If you are there on a Sunday try the Sunday brunch! Fantastic!
Valet parking only here. The 12 dollars a day is a bit steep since they offer no other parking, but we never did use the car the 4 days we were there. The Casa Monica has a great collection of vintage cars, which you can arrange to take you out and see the sights.
The staff in all areas of the hotel was wonderful. Friendly and attentive. This is a welcome change from the staff at chain hotels that don't seem to care.
All in all this was a great time and will go back any chance I get.
Casa monica and st. augustine
casa monica is a beautiful. located in the heart of the historic district, it is within walking distance to most of the sites and shopping. You can relax in a king size bed with feather pillows(the beds are so comfortable we slept like we were at home), shop at any one of the many small shops located within walking distance, go for a horse drawn buggy ride, dine at any one of the many restaurants nearby(some with outside tables accross from the water), visit the beach, or swim in their beautifully decorated pool located outside on a rooftop over looking the site. It is a very quiet, romantic, as well as relaxing place.
Friendly outgoing staff, best food ever, wonderful rooms and a fantastic location downtown with an oceanfront beach club that exceeded out expectations.

The rains in Acadia Parish may have subsided for now, but the damage has already been done as many roads across Acadiana are being forced to close due to high water.
Interstate 49 has closed near Sunset and in the St. Landry Parish area, Savoy Road, I-49 and LA 182 have closed
Drivers are reminded to use extreme caution as road will continue to suffer the effects of the heavy rains throughout the day.
ACADIANA – Heavy rains have caused motorists in Acadiana a lot of trouble this morning with multiple accidents along Interstate 10 and submerged vehicles along Interstate 49.
Motorists along these routes and on all roads today are reminded to use extreme caution and not to drive through deep water.
Specifically along I-49, milepost 8-9, both northbound and southbound lanes have water. Delays should be expected and Louisiana State Police Troop I say that detours like LA 93 can be used for southbound traffic and LA 182 for northbound traffic.
Alternative routes are available.

City of Heroes, PC
Yeah, we know. Fine-tuning massively multiplayer games before launch is an unreasonable demand for even the best developer, because they can't reasonably reproduce the real-world unpredictability of hundreds of thousands of people eager to exploit every weakness in their work under laboratory conditions. Still, there's no excuse for something like Hamidon, which according to our very own City of Heroes expert Scott Sharkey was one of the stupidest things ever. Like, in human history.
Let's enumerate the issues with Hamidon. First, it required a ridiculous number of participants to defeat. Secondly, it stuck to an easily predictable pattern and required little more of players than the willingness to perform the same repetitive actions over and over again in a fixed sequence. Third, it was one of the few creatures in the early days of the game to offer any kind of drop, meaning players would flock to "battle" it -- which, for the most part, simply meant they'd zone in for the encounter, hover back at a safe distance as a bunch of other people played out the fight, then collect their loot simply for having been around at the right time. Altogether, this meant that an encounter with Hamidon would always be hugely populated by players to the point that it would bring the average gamer's PC to a grinding halt... and if you actually could see the action on-screen, you'd be disappointed by how utterly boring and redundant it was.
To NCSoft's credit, Hamidon was eventually fixed with patches. Which makes this enemy unique among this entire list for being only slightly dumbass.Jailer of Love/Absolute Virtue
Final Fantasy XI, PC/PS2/Xbox 360
Of course, at the other end of the spectrum from Hamidon, you have Final Fantasy XI's infamous Absolute Virtue battle. Not only is it an impossibly broken fight, but it deliberately so. In fact, where Hamidon was patched to be a more reasonable challenge, Absolute Virtue has been updated several times to make it more invincible; Square Enix's dev team has even gone so far as to ban anyone who could figure out ways to take down this super-boss.
To make it worse, the developers have released videos of the battle, ostensibly as tutorial examples -- a nice thought, except that even high-level FFXI players are baffled by the seemingly impossible feats performed by the game's creators. At this point, any mention of Absolute Virtue is essentially just a handful of salt rubbed in a deep wound inflicted with deliberate malice by the FFXI development team.
Special mention has to go to another FFXI boss, Pandemonium Warden. In that case, a team of players infamously spent 18 hours trying in vain to take down the monster and eventually gave up after becoming sick. Square's response? Rather than make the battle more reasonable, they simply imposed a time limit on the fight so that the boss would vanish after a couple of hours, making it even more unlikely to ever fall at players' hands. Thanks, guys.Top Man
Mega Man 3, NES
The Mega Man games have always featured some ludicrous foes, even at their best. It's part of the series' charm: The old NES games never took themselves too seriously, so it was always totally fine when you had to battle, say, a deadly robot made out of wood and leaves. Still, even as kids our tolerance for stupid shenanigans had their limits, and Top Man pushed that to its breaking point. We knew we were in trouble when we landed in Top Man's stage only to find that, for the first time in the series' history, his level had no thematic relationship whatever to the boss at the end. Why was guy whose power was to spin a lot the boss of a greenhouse full of bulldozers and giant cats? Shouldn't it have been, like, a Hanukkah-themed stage, or something? But no, for some damn reason we were stuck shooting robot fleas.
Then we got to the boss himself, only to find his idea of a good offense was to fling tops uselessly at us before spinning rapidly across the floor at us, making him one of the easiest bosses to take down without the need to exploit his weakness. Our reward for a job well done? The Top Spin, a bizarrely inconsistent weapon that alternated unpredictably between amazing and worthless, the damage inflicted on foes apparently being a function of how willing you were to kamikaze into their faces. At the end of it all, we'd fought through a lame level, killed a stupid bad guy, and ended up with a weapon that made us want to throw up... and not just because it was activated by spinning rapidly.

More training for Thai students from Gripen Consortium
A further 14 Thai students will now be trained in conjunction with the delivery of the JAS Gripen, a new generation, multi-role fighter aircraft . FMV would like to buy the programs, including from LiU. FMV is the Swedish Defence Material Administration and is an independent, civil authority.
When the Gripen Consortium, FMV and Saab , negotiated the deal with the Thai government for the sale of the Gripen, they also included an agreement on the transfer of knowledge. The first planes arrived in Thailand just before Christmas 2010 and the investment on training is continuing.
A total of 70 students will be trained up until 2013 in order to integrate the aircraft into Thailand's defence forces. FMV have therefore requested that the government grant a new exemption from the normal regulations applicable to universities and colleges. This would make it possible for Thailand to place orders for the training programmes.
The 14 students involved in this round will be studying in Lund, Stockholm, Umeå and Linköping. According to FMV, the training programmes at LiU's Institute of Technology (LiTH) relate to the training of robust systems and "tactical data links". There are already at least six Thai flight engineers at LiU studying a Master's Degree in Communication Systems and Advanced Computer Graphics.

A classic bit of Black Rock from James Blood Ulmer – and a record that was issued by Rough Trade in the UK, giving it a surprising influence on the post-punk scene of the time! In a way, Ulmer's groove here has a lot of punky-funk in the mix – thanks to some heavy electric bass from Amin Ali, and tight drumming from Ronald Shannon Jackson. The horns sneak in and out of the rhythms next to Ulmer's sometimes heavy guitar work – and players include David Murray, Oliver Lake, and Olu Dara – all grooving in a frenetic sound that's a key link between the New York downtown and UK post-punk scenes! Titles include "See Through", "TV Blues", "Time Out", "Jazz Is The Teacher (Funk Is the Preacher)", "Interview", "Pressure", and "Layout". © 1996-2016, Dusty Groove, Inc.
We realize that there are many different interpretations of the standard grades used for pre-owned vinyl record albums & CD, so we thought we'd offer you the ones that we are working with, so you have an idea what we mean when we give the grade for a non-new item on our pages.
Below are stated conditions for a used vinyl records at Dusty Groove. Grading for the cover should be assumed to be near (within a "+" or "-") the grading for the vinyl. If there is significant divergence from the condition of the vinyl, or specific flaws, these will be noted in the comments section of the item. However, please be aware that since the emphasis of this site is towards the music listener, our main concern is with the vinyl of any used item we sell. Additionally, please note that all of our records are graded visually; considering the volume of used vinyl we handle, it is impossible for us to listen to each record. If we spot any significant flaws, we make every attempt to listen through them and note how they play.
The following grading conditions apply to the vinyl component of an album or single:
If something is noteworthy, we try to note it in the comments — especially if it is an oddity that is the only wrong thing about the record. This might include, but isn't limited to, warped records, tracks that skip, cover damage or wear as noted above, or strictly cosmetic flaws.

My name is Anastacia, and I am the scrap yarn/one skein queen. I buy my yarn mainly at yard sales/thrift stores, so I got used to making do with what I could find. So most of my patterns are designed to use up the odd skeins or leftovers in your life, and are geared towards beginner crocheters or those who just want a fast, easy, but still pretty item.
I'm a 30 something adult living in MA. I'm married, have a wonderful cat named Wedgie, & I work full time. I also teach knitting & crocheting at my local Michael's & squeeze in designing as many hours as I can a week.
I do love to hear from everyone, but please remember that I am busy, just like you, & will reply as soon as I can.
All of my patterns use USA terms & abbreviations.
I try to layout my patterns as simply as possible to save money for people printing at home. My patterns are as short as possible, usually with only one photo on the first page, which you can easily skip printing to save ink.
Simply EZ PZ Shawl is a quick little shawl to knit. It is a shallow, triangle shape.
It starts at the top, and stitches are increased. Working in stockinette stitch, the shawl quickly begins to grow in size. At any point, you can begin the simple lace section (which has both written directions and a chart), and repeat the lace as many rows as you like - making this shawl a great gift item, and it's also great to use up as much of the precious skein as possible!
Designer used a vintage, tweed, 100% fingering weight wool (blue sample in photos), approximately 440 yards per 100 grams, and size 8 needles. Any yarn can be used with success! Blue sample used less than 100 grams and measures 25" deep by 80" across after heavy blocking.
Brown version was made with an aran weight yarn, Elann.com Limited Edition Picasso, and size 11 needles. Less than 3 skeins were used, and the sample measures 20" deep by 75" across, after light blocking.
Many thanks to my testers, Jlblapeer, tinkershell, tdd, batty4yarn, RitaMiller, and jladybug671!

|Bruins re-sign Bergeron
|10.08.10 at 3:42 am ET
PRAGUE — The Bruins and center Patrice Bergeron have agreed to a three-year contract extension worth $15 million. The deal will carry an annual cap hit of $5 million, making him tied with Tim Thomas for the team's highest cap hit in the 2011-12 season (captain Zdeno Chara remains unsigned following the coming season). RDS was the first to report the story.
Bergeron was set to become a free agent at season's end, and after a very impressive preseason, the Bruins avoid the risk of seeing the 25-year-old center put together a career year and leave via free agency. Chara now becomes the team's top priority regarding contracts, as he is in the final year of a five-year, $37.5 million deal signed back in 2006.
Bergeron's career high for points in a season is 73, which he recorded in 2005-06, his second NHL season. In 73 games last season, Bergeron picked up 52 points before adding 11 more in 13 postseason games.
Both Bergeron and general manager Peter Chiarelli are set to address the media today, so stick with the Big Bad Blog for everything from both sides following the Bruins' noon skate (6 a.m. EST).
|Blake Wheeler using his size, rounding out his game
|10.05.10 at 6:44 pm ET
LIBEREC, Czech Republic — Blake Wheeler hasn't really gotten a fair shake from fans in Boston. After a 21-goal rookie year with the Bruins, Wheeler turned in 18 in his second season and was often criticized by fans for his lack of physical play. This preseason, he's shown a more physical edge that he had vowed in the offseason to return with. Fans didn't take notice of his use of his size in his two preseason showings at the Garden, but it likely won't be long before they do.
A strong camp from Wheeler has landed the third year forward on the second line with Patrice Bergeron and Mark Recchi. He picked up a goal in the team's 7-1 victory over Liberec HC, and after seeing the five-point explosion from Bergeron should be licking his chops at the idea of skating with him as his center. Things are looking up for Wheeler, who prior to Tuesday had been skating with Tyler Seguin and Michael Ryder on the third line.
"I feel great on the ice. I feel like I'm playing with a lot of speed, and confidence is up there now," Wheeler said. "Playing with Bergeron and Recchi really makes the game a lot easier. I think we had a really good game today and I'm excited to be playing with these guys and hopefully we can really get some good chemistry going."
As for the aspect of physicality, Wheeler trusts that by utilizing his 6-foot-5 frame he can become the well-rounded player that made him a top-five pick in the NHL draft. In addition to setting up a tarp to shoot against in his garage, his main focus was toughening up.
"I felt that if I could be more of a presence physically, a lot of the other things in my game would follow suit," Wheeler said. "Just consistency-wise, that's something you can bring every night. No matter how you're feeling, no matter how you're playing, you can be a physical presence and contribute to the game that way. I'm just trying to focus on the things that I can control and let the rest follow suit."
LIBEREC, Czech Republic — Patrice Bergeron had five points and Tyler Seguin scored again as the Bruins finished their preseason with a 7-1 victory over Liberec HC in Liberec, Czech Republic.
Bergeron scored in the second and third periods, while also assisting Seguin's goal, a snipe from the point on the power play, as well as tallies from Jordan Caron and Blake Wheeler. Trade acquisitions Nathan Horton and Gregory Campbell also picked up goals in the first and third periods, respectively.
Tim Thomas looked very sharp in net for the Bruins, playing the entire game and looking particularly impressive in a first period in which he made 14 shots. He allowed just one goal on the night, an Andrej Podkonicky strike into second period.
From the Liberec the Bruins will travel an hour south to Prague, where they will continue to practice before opening the regular season with two games against the Coyotes on Saturday and Sunday.
|Shawn Thornton and Patrice Bergeron: Irish brothers?
|09.30.10 at 7:35 am ET
BELFAST — The European trip to kick off the Bruins' 2010-11 season can be viewed as being about a lot of things. From seeing new places to seeing unfamiliar teams in preseason and getting a good deal of team bonding in, there are plenty of story lines that run congruent with the team's 10-day trip. Just days away from the Bruins' exhibition game with the Belfast Giants in Northern Ireland, one player comes to mind for embracing his family ties and soaking up the tradition. That player, of course, is Shawn Thornton, but should there be more?
Thornton's mother, born in Belfast, flew in on Wednesday to stay with her cousin while her son is in town. Given all the excitement throughout his relatives, the veteran forward is expecting 20 family members to both show him around and attend Saturday's game. Reallocation of the players' tickets certainly came into play as a result.
"There's a lot of guys who did not need tickets for this game. Thank God," Thornton said with a smile. "I've got the most."
Yet while Thornton is eager to see family members, some of whom he's never met, there's another Irish relative he's excited for, and one Bruins fans might be a little more familiar with: Quebec's own Patrice Bergeron.
"My grandfather was born in Northern Ireland. He came over a long time ago with his parents. It's been a long time, but it's going to be pretty special to go there," Bergeron said of the surprising bloodlines.
Born and raised in Quebec and a star of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League as a teenager, there isn't much about Bergeron's upbringing or time in the game that screams "Northern Ireland." Though Bergeron isn't sure if he actually still has any relatives in the area, Thornton can assure him that he has at least one.
"I mean, we're Irish brothers," Thornton said. "I call him Patrick Cleary, not Patrice Bergeron, so we're probably related back from back there at some point."
And thus perhaps the most unlikeliest of connections, even by sarcasm's standards, is made. Both players are Canadian-born, of course, and neither have been to Belfast before. Though they'll be there for just three days before departing for Prague on Sunday, the anticipation isn't lost on either of them.
"It will be good to see some family," Thornton said. "I've met some of them — they used to come over and visit my grandmother over time — so it will be good to see them again and hopefully get some local knowledge of the city."
Bergeron, whose father's last name actually is Cleary, is definitely excited for the trip, though it's unlikely he'll play the role as resident Belfast expert like Thornton hopes he will. Asked if he and Bergeron would embrace the culture heavily through the wearing of scally caps to truly reflect their Irish heritage, Thornton didn't hide mask his pride a bit.
"I've got tons of them. We're going to look for some while we're over there, but I'll be bringing a few just in case," he said."
Especially in the case of Prague, many players have some places in mind when it comes to sight-seeing. Bergeron spoke of how beautiful he found the city when he last played there in 2004 representing Canada in the World Championships.
For the Belfast leg of the trip, Thornton has put forth an effort in looking up interesting spots to take teammates during the team's three days in Northern Ireland. That doesn't mean he still won't rely heavily on the natives in his family to direct him.
"I'm sure I don't retain as much information as I should when I [research places], so I'll probably just play it by ear when I get over there," Thornton said. "I've got aunts and uncles that will be taking me around. I'm sure their knowledge of it is better than what I can find on Wikipedia."
|Bergeron likes what he sees from Seguin
|09.20.10 at 1:42 pm ET
The Bruins featured a very interesting line Monday in Patrice Bergeron centering Tyler Seguin and Mark Recchi. For Seguin, who played both wings in the day's black/white scrimmage, he gets an opportunity to play alongside a future Hall of Famer in Recchi and someone who knows what it's like to make an impact in their rookie year in Bergeron. A key contributor to the team since making the Bruins in the 2003-04 season, Bergeron knows what it's like to be teamed with players he looked up to early on.
"My first scrimmage was pretty amazing," Bergeron said after the scrimmage. "It was [Sergei] Samsonov and Glen Murray, so they made it pretty easy for me, to be honest."
The three players seemed to make things easy for one another in Monday's scrimmage, with Seguin feeding Bergeron on the white squad's only goal. Consider Bergeron impressed.
"The first shift, we both thought we were in the middle, but then we figured it out and it was good. He's always well-positioned and he has that good speed so that helps him a lot."
|B's Town Hall meeting set for September 21
|08.30.10 at 1:02 pm ET
The Bruins announced today that their annual "State of the Bruins" town hall meeting will take place September 21 at 7:00 p.m.
The meeting, which will take place at the TD Garden, will give season ticket holders (as well have half-season and 10 game package owners) a chance to address the franchise directly with Jeremy Jacobs, Charlie Jacobs, Cam Neely, Peter Chiarelli, Claude Julien, and players Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, and Mark Recchi. NESN's Andy Brickley will be the meeting's moderator.
|Bergeron the stick that stirs Bruins offense
|05.10.10 at 12:30 pm ET
For all the talk about Miroslav Satan, his hands and his legions or Mark Recchi and how he is the remarkable ageless one during these 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs, it is Patrice Bergeron who actually leads the Bruins in points this postseason.
Bergeron has four goals and seven assists through the first 11 games of the playoffs and he has been a difference-maker on both sides of the blue line. One has to wonder, though, if a guy like Bergeron, known especially to be a great defensive forward who is strong on the faceoff, purposely started to ramp up his offensive production. It seems in the nature of a guy like Bergeron, quiet yet with a developed sense of responsibility, to take it upon himself to create more offense for a team that struggled to light the lamp throughout the year.
"If you play defensively sound and it starts for a good offense. You know, I have always done that and it has been going well," Bergeron said. "I think right now, I don't think I am doing anything different, it is just going in. Obviously we needed it in the playoffs and everyone wants to chip in anyway possible and you know, right now, I am just happy that it is going the way it and and I just want it to keep on going."
Bergeron leads the team in playoff shots at 33 (two more than Michael Ryder, four more Satan and six more than the nearest defensemen, Zdeno Chara and Johnny Boychuk at 27). He is second in assists (Dennis Wideman leads with nine) and has been dominant on the faceoff dot against the likes of Flyers captain Mike Richards or Sabres center Derek Roy. He posted his first sub-50 percent faceoff game of the playoffs on Friday in Game 4 but his numbers in the circle have been closer to 60 and 70 percent for most games this postseason.
"I think in Game 4 we didn't do as good on the faceoff that we would have liked to so, it is huge to get the puck back and work with the puck and play a puck possession game and we have done a great job of that," Bergeron said. "So, obviously we want to start with the puck more often to start with the puck as much as we can."
It is not like Bergeron has all of a sudden flipped a switch in terms of offensive efficiency. He led the Bruins in point at 52 this year, which is not a lot in consideration with the NHL points leaders but still not a paltry sum. But, as the Bruins offense has come awake during the playoffs, either by good fortune that was not present during the regular season or increased efforts by guys like Recchi and Satan in the offensive zone, Bergeron by been the swizzle in the Bruins coffee.
Bruins coach Claude Julien knows that it is the responsibility of his players to play a good two-way game, such as the standard is Bergeron. The center was chosen for the Canadian Olympic team because of his defensive prowess and responsibility. For the Bruins, that approach has also turned into points on the scoreboard.
"We expect everybody to play a good two-way game. We always encourage our guys to be proactive offensively and we want them to be responsible defensively that is what you want in a well rounded team," Juliens said. "That is what we have encouraged all year, whether is has happened or not, the way we like it, that is a different story. But, to have those guys do that it just makes us a better hockey team and certainly we encourage our guys to be more proactive."

Mark Hunt Signed A UFC Deal.
Former K-1 and PRIDE heavyweight Mark Hunt (5-6 MMA, 0-0 UFC) was about to hop on a plane when he spoke today to MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com). And when asked to explain his sudden move into the UFC's octagon, he had one thing to say.
"Why not?"
The 36-year-old fighter confirmed a four-fight deal with the UFC and a Sept. 25 UFC 119 meeting with Midwest standout Sean McCorkle (7-0 MMA, 0-0 UFC).
FiveOuncesofPain.com first reported the Hunt vs. McCorkle fight, which takes place in Indianapolis.
Hunt, who hails from South Auckland, New Zealand, has not fought since May 2009, when former Strikeforce and DREAM champion Gegard Mousasi submitted him in the first round of DREAM's open-weight "Super Hulk" tournament. It was his fifth consecutive loss in MMA.
Despite his recent rough road, Hunt's earlier performances bring nostalgia to hardcore fans who witnessed his tremendous upset victories over Wanderlei Silva and Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic in PRIDE's heyday.
The heavyweight also gave fans a jolt at PRIDE Shockwave 2006 when he threatened the once-invincible Fedor Emelianenko with an Americana arm lock before falling prey to the submission hold's cousin, a kimura.
As a kickboxer, Hunt has amassed a 30-13 record and holds notable K-1 victories over Stefan Leko and Jerome Le Banner.
McCorkle, an Indianapolis resident, also makes his UFC debut at UFC 119, which takes place at the 18,000-seat Conseco Fieldhouse. Thus far, he has fought as a super heavyweight with four of his seven victories coming by way of first-round stoppage.
Most recently, McCorkle stopped veteran journeyman Johnathan Ivey by second-round TKO for the Indianapolis-based Legends of Fighting promotion.
Hunt vs. McCorkle will be part of UFC 119's un-aired preliminary card.
they bringin him in for a CroCop Rematch? cause i dont' think he'll fare any better against the top fighters in the UFC.

I know a guy who took McCorkle to a split decision.
I think this is a non-story other than Hunt's name is already established. He'll be fed to some up-and-comers with blown-up records to see if they're legit.

R. M. Ballantyne's 1861 novel The Gorilla Hunters is the sequel to the more famous The Coral Island and was written as part of the controversy that exploded in London in that year concerning the French-American naturalist Paul du Chaillu's claim to be the first white man to shoot a gorilla. Ballantyne draws heavily on du Chaillu's Explorations and Adventures in Equatorial Africa to produce a sensational account of the "satanic" gorilla that blends gruesome depictions of wounded and dying animals with the prim moralising characteristic of his work. The novel was a considerable popular success and contributed significantly to Ballantyne's growing reputation as among the favourite authors of Britain'…

But when Amarillo Botanical Gardens' officials faced an Aug. 31 deadline for a challenge grant to complete its $3.5 million capital fund drive, they literally counted every penny to meet their goal.
"Most were large gifts from trusts and grants," said Jackie Wilson, botanical gardens executive director.
Among the $100,000-plus donors was the Sybil B. Harrington Trust, which provided the $1 million challenge grant. Others were the Mary E. Bivins Foundation, The Don and Sybil Harrington Foundation, The Meadows Foundation, Gilvin-Terrill Construction, Joseph H. Pool, William Quackenbush and the Amos N. Molyneaux Trust. Many other groups and individuals also contributed.
"But it got down to the point that the $50 gift mattered, and the $5,000 gift mattered," Wilson said.
Wilson had one ace in the hole.
"The Meadows Foundation told me that they wanted to help but wanted to be the last one in," Wilson said. "We were pulling rabbits out of hats, and it was pretty exciting."
This week, the botanical gardens fulfills a goal it set more than a year ago when the face-lift began: completion of most of the building remodeling project before Festival of Trees festivities begin on Thursday.
Last year, the facility was in the midst of remodeling, and for the first time the Festival of Trees was held off-site. The fund-raiser is celebrating its 37th season at the botanical gardens, which formerly was the Amarillo Garden Center.
Looking back, Wilson is more grateful than ever for the short deadline on the challenge grant. It forced her to stay focused and to complete fund raising before the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
"The donor profile is different now," Wilson said. "And areas of giving have changed focus, and it's out of necessity and compassion."
The funding includes interior changes already complete, and exterior work still under way.
The new gardens will include an entry court featuring manicured gardens that can be used for exterior events. The former driveway entrance will be replaced with a garden section, The Best of the High Plains, which includes several small gardens, components in themselves that feature a variety of plantings.
The remodeling incorporated a water catchment reservoir to recycle rainwater. Indoors, renovations included a visitor's gallery, kitchen, auditorium and meeting rooms, which are available for rent.
The Mary E. Bivins Conservatory, which has not been designed yet, also will be added with the drive money. The conservatory will feature indoor gardens to offer color and beauty to visitors year-round. It will be home to indoor gardens that can spotlight orchids and tender tropical plants. A separate working greenhouse will be located on the property.
Funds also pay for a black wrought-iron security fence to enclose the botanical gardens to alleviate vandalism problems that have plagued the facility for years.
The security fencing will not block the view of interior gardens, and the facility plans to vary its open hours so that it is accessible during daytime, evening and weekend hours.
Plant materials in the completed gardens at the facility include a children's garden, a xeriscape garden, High Plains grasses, a scent garden, water garden and several arbors and gazebos, most of which will double as teaching areas.
Many of the outdoor areas will double as classrooms, Wilson said. With all of the changes at the botanical gardens, it remains a teaching facility for schoolchildren, for university-level students, for nursing homes residents and for other adult and youth groups.
The facility still is home to meetings for garden clubs, and the Garden Clubs Council was among the major donors in the renovation process.
Members of 10 active clubs will do much of the baking and decorating of trees in preparation for the Festival of Trees, Wilson said. They, along with members of the Hortus Guild, are a volunteer base for the botanical gardens.
Wilson said the full remodeling is a three- to five-year project. Phase two of the expansion, which will be done at a later date, will fund expansion of exterior gardens to the building's south, toward the Ronald McDonald House.
