The Packers and Chiefs will do battle at Arrowhead Stadium on Thursday night.
Packers-Chiefs: 5 things to watch
The teams: The Green Bay Packers (1-2) vs. the Kansas City Chiefs (1-2).
The time: 7 p.m. CDT Thursday.
The place: Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, Mo.
The TV coverage: WTMJ (Ch. 4) in Milwaukee, WGBA (Ch. 26) in Green Bay and WKOW (Ch. 27) in Madison. The game will also be broadcast in Spanish on Telemundo Wisconsin, which is available on Time Warner Cable in Milwaukee and Green Bay and on Charter Cable in Madison.
The announcers: Kevin Harlan and Rich Gannon, with Rod Burks reporting from the sidelines. In Spanish, Andy Olivares and Kevin Holden.
The Packers injury report: The Packers placed four players on season-ending injured reserve and four players on the in-season physically unable to perform list on Tuesday: Running back DuJuan Harris (knee) and left tackle Bryan Bulaga (knee) were placed on IR and will remain there for the rest of the year; wide receiver Kevin Dorsey (toe, hamstring) and linebacker Jarvis Reed (ankle) were waived/injured, meaning they'll be on IR until an injury settlement is negotiated. Safety Sean Richardson (neck), offensive lineman JC Tretter (ankle), offensive tackle Derek Sherrod (leg) and defensive end Jerel Worthy (knee) were placed on PUP. Of the injured players still on the 75-man roster, cornerback Casey Hayward (knee), safety Morgan Burnett (hamstring) and inside linebacker Brad Jones (hamstring) are out. Cornerback Jarrett Bush (ankle) and cornerback James Nixon (knee/ankle) are doubtful. Outside linebacker Dezman Moses (toe) is probable.
Dear Johnathan: Johnathan Franklin sent out some ambiguous Tweets earlier this week – well, ambiguous to his followers, if not ambiguous to the Packers rookie running back. After attending church on Sunday, Franklin posted, "I've been down but I had to realize my God isn't football but my God is awesome and as long as I have him I have peace." Considering the first roster reduction to 75 players was looming, it made one wonder if he'd gotten pink-slipped. Obviously, that wasn't the case. "Man, y'all have to stop overthinking," Franklin said with a laugh a few days later.
Even though Franklin's camp hasn't been very impressive, as a fourth-round pick, his roster spot probably wasn't in peril even before Harris' season ended because of a patellar tendon injury in his right knee. That said, Franklin hasn't shown much running the ball (13 carries for 24 yards, a 1.8-yard average) in the first three preseason games, and so far he hasn't proven that he deserves the third-down back role that the Packers currently fill with fullback John Kuhn.
Now, with Harris sidelined, the Packers need Franklin to accelerate his development, and perhaps his come-to-Jesus Twitter moment will prove timely.
"I feel a lot better," Franklin said. "Just letting go and not forcing things so much, not worrying about the pressures or what people are saying or what's going on on Twitter, just relaxing and putting it all in God's hands and living for one audience. (I need to) finish strong, make plays and just be relaxed. Not overthinking, not trying to do too much, just be Johnathan. Not being who they're saying I am, just being me."
Bouncing back: Andrew Quarless hasn't felt this good since it happened. The veteran tight end, who hasn't played in a regular-season game since a major knee injury on Dec. 4, 2011 against the New York Giants at MetLife Stadium, saw his first action of the preseason last week, playing 16 snaps. (If you're not the squeamish type, you can watch the video of Quarless' injury here.) And there's no denying he was rusty.
"It was good to see him out there, it was good to finally get him with his pads on and thumping people," tight ends coach Jerry Fontenot said this week. "He has a ways to go. He's not where I want him to be, obviously, he's definitely got some room for improvement as far as his leg strength goes and really being a dominant blocker like he was in the past – the guy I saw on film."
Quarless was on his way toward becoming arguably the team's most complete tight end, developing as a pass catcher (even though he had only three receptions in 2011 before getting hurt) and had become the team's best blocking tight end at the time of his injury.
"I definitely think it's rust," Fontenot said.
Quarless doesn't deny that he's rusty, but he firmly believes he can get back to where he was before his injury. The preseason finale is vital because he must not only show the coaches progress toward that goal, but that he deserves a roster spot. The tight end position is utterly undecided at this point behind starter Jermichael Finley, and Quarless, Matthew Mulligan, D.J. Williams and Ryan Taylor all have questions to answer. Quarless' challenge is that he missed the first two preseason games with a quadriceps strain that was unrelated to his knee injury.
"I think this last game is real important. Any rep I get is going to mean something for me moving forward. So getting into more live action this week is going to just keep me going and from there we just keep rolling," Quarless said. "I feel good. This past game, it really was a test but I think it held up pretty good.
"It's not just getting back to where I was, it's going above and beyond. I think when I got hurt, the coaches – you know, they don't really tell you too much until after the fact – but the coaches were like, 'Man, you were going up, climbing that mountain.' So I definitely want to get back to hwere I was and then go beyond that."
Hey, I know you: Coach Mike McCarthy was deliberately vague this week when he was asked about Aaron Rodgers and whether the quarterback would play in this game. The guess here is that he doesn't, but McCarthy suggested both wide receivers Randall Cobb (biceps) and Jordy Nelson (knee) will see a little bit of action. Nelson has missed all three preseason games after undergoing a nerve-release procedure on his knee on Aug. 6, while Cobb has also missed every exhibition game because of a biceps injury that has bothered him since the Aug. 3 Family Night Scrimmage. While McCarthy and the coaches seemingly have forgone some of the preparation of the starters in favor of evaluation of players competing for roster spots, it appears Cobb and Nelson will at least get one series of work.
"Jordy Nelson and Randall Cobb, it's important for them to play and get back on the field," McCarthy said.
Even if they don't play long and don't play with Rodgers – No. 2 quarterback Vince Young would likely get the start if Rodgers sits – both players feel there's value in the work, even brief work.

Speaker John Boehner wants out. He really does.
But the Ohio House Republican is staying put, for now — and that could improve the chances for a debt limit increase by early next month to avoid a market-shattering government default. His continued presence also might help lawmakers reach a bipartisan budget deal to head off a government shutdown in December.
The tea party forces that pushed Boehner to plan his exit after nearly five years in the top job now have less leverage against a man with nothing to lose.
What are they going to do now, threaten to force a vote to immediately oust Boehner?

- Wear resistance of plasma immersion ion implanted Ti6A14V
- Author(s)
- Johns, S. M.; Bell, T.; Samandi, M.; Collins, G. A.
- Abstract
- The immersion ion implantation (PI³ TM) process has been employed in the treatment of the Ti6A14V alloy in order to improve its notoriously poor tribological properties. In particular, this study was undertaken with a view to its potential application for the surface engineering of orthopaedic implants. PI³ has been developed over recent years at the Australian Nuclear Science and Technology Organisation (ANSTO). The hybrid nature of this technique combines elements of both ion implantation and plasma nitriding, and has been shown to produce components with unique surface properties and optimum performance characteristics. A detailed study of the PI³ process on the Ti6A14V alloy has been undertaken. Treatment was carried out in a pure nitrogen atmosphere at temperatures of 350, 450 and 550 degrees Celsius . In each case, specimens were treated for 5 h, with a high voltage pulse (typically 40 kV) applied directly to the workpiece. Wear resistance of the treated samples was assessed using a standard CSEM pin-on-disc wear machine, with a single crystal ruby ball as the contact tip. Glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD) was employed to determine the phases present in the surface modified layer. These findings were then compared to those achieved from parallel work with conventionally ion implanted and low temperature plasma nitrided samples. It was established that a high treatment temperature of 550 degrees Celsius was necessary for substantial improvements in the properties of the Ti6A14V material. Under these conditions the PI³ technique promoted significant increases in Knoop hardness, and wear resistance an order of magnitude greater than conventional ion implantation. Wear rates were typically reduced by four orders of magnitude compared to those of the untreated Ti6A14V. This is thought to be associated with the increased mobility of nitrogen in α-Ti at these temperatures, producing a deeper, hardened case. The presence of TiN was observed in the microstructure of PI³ Ti6A14V samples at all temperatures in the range.

Garrett, expert on Americana, dies at 83By MARGALIT FOX
THE NEW YORK TIMES | November 18,2012NEW YORK TIMES PHOTO
Wendell Garrett poses in this undated photo. Garrett, an authority on American decorative arts known to public-television viewers for his long, professorial presence as an appraiser on Antiques Roadshow, died Wednesday in Williston. He was 83.Wendell D. Garrett, an authority on American decorative arts known to public-television viewers for his long, professorial presence as an appraiser on Antiques Roadshow, died Wednesday in Williston. He was 83.
His former wife Elisabeth Garrett Widmer confirmed the death.
The author or editor of many books on antiques and Americana, Garrett was known through his writings, TV appearances and frequent lectures as an erudite democratizer, mediating between the rarefied world of antiques and a wide public.
He appeared on every season of the American version of Antiques Roadshow from its inception in 1997 through the new season, filmed last summer and having its premiere Jan 7.
Garrett also had long associations with Sothebys, where he was a retired senior vice president in the American decorative arts department, and with The Magazine Antiques, as the publication is formally known, where he was for many years the editor and publisher.
Produced by WGBH in Boston and broadcast nationwide, Antiques Roadshow, like the British series on which it is modeled, sends antiques experts into towns throughout the country, where residents line up to have the treasures from their attics identified and appraised.
Garrett was familiar for his white hair, impeccable suits, courtly manner and the wheelchair in which he sat: he had had a form of muscular dystrophy since the age of 19, and by the time he was in his 60s, walking had become difficult.
On the air, he advised supplicants about a welter of objects. Among them were an iridescent glass candy dish marked L.C.T. (the initials turned out to stand for Louis Comfort Tiffany; Garrett appraised the dish at $500 to $1,000); a mid-19th-century pie safe, for storing baked goods ($5,000 to $7,000); and a circa-1800 bottle case, for storing spirits ($30,000 to $50,000).
Garretts books include Classic America: The Federal Style & Beyond (1992); Monticello and the Legacy of Thomas Jefferson (1994); and, with David Larkin and Michael Webb, American Home: From Colonial Simplicity to the Modern Adventure (2001).
Wendell Douglas Garrett was born in Los Angeles on Oct. 9, 1929. He entered the University of California, Los Angeles, planning to become a doctor. Then organic chemistry happened. Young Garrett switched to history, receiving a bachelors degree.
From the University of Delaware, he earned a masters degree in what is now the Winterthur Program in American Material Culture. He later received a masters in American history from Harvard.
In 1959, Garrett joined the staff of the Adams Papers project, a gargantuan undertaking of the Massachusetts Historical Society. Begun in 1954, the project seeks to edit and issue letters, journals and other papers written and received by President John Adams; his wife, Abigail; and their descendants. Published by Harvard University Press and now comprising some 50 volumes, the papers are also available in a digital edition at masshist.org/publications/apde.
For the project, Garrett was an assistant editor on Diary and Autobiography of John Adams (1961), a four-volume work edited by L.H. Butterfield.
In 1965, while combing the archives of the Vermont Historical Society, Garrett came upon still-earlier entries from Adams diaries, beginning in 1753. (In the four-volume work, the diary begins in 1755.)
The Earliest Diary of John Adams, edited by Garrett and Marc Friedlaender under Butterfields supervision, was published by Harvard in 1966. That year, Garrett joined The Magazine Antiques, where at his death he was editor at large.
Garretts first marriage, to Jane Nuckols, ended in divorce, as did his second, to Widmer. He is survived by a brother, Ronald; three children from his marriage to Widmer, Nathaniel, Maria Garrett Lievano and Abigail Garrett Looft; and four grandchildren.
Throughout his work, Garrett voiced the conviction that antiques should never be considered in a vacuum. They were tangible manifestations of the ethos of their time and place, he said, and as such whether cups and saucers or entire buildings could be windows onto American social history.
By way of example, Garrett, in an interview with The Chicago Tribune in 1992, invoked the Federal style:
I like its chaste, attenuated look those tall, narrow proportions. That look attracts me. But intellectually, this is from the houses of our founding fathers. It reflects the order of Jefferson. They say he placed his house as he placed his mind, on a high elevation. These pieces are more than art or aesthetics; they reflect the intellectual mix of that generation.MORE IN Wire NewsCHARLESTON, S.C. Full Story

Surely the whole point of Windows that you are supposed to use the GUI?
Isn't one of the biggest benefits of SQL Server the fact that it has an incredibly powerful set of client tools and interfaces? If all this is true then why do we need PowerShell to manage our SQL Server Failover Cluster?Why? Because it is fast, can automate routine and complex tasks and can leverage the power of .NET, Windows and SMO.
In the October 2009 issue of TechNet Magazine Microsoft stated that that PowerShell was "the single most important skill a Windows administrator will need". Perhaps it is time to start learning it?
This exciting session will be delivered by PowerShell expert James Boother and Clustering expert Mark Broadbent where we will demonstrate how to use PowerShell to perform SQL Failover Cluster administration and automate simple and complex operations. You will learn why you can, from now on, safely ignore the GUI!

The victim was identified as Christopher Kelley. He was in a 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe headed east when his vehicle apparently veered into the path of a westbound 2001 International commercial truck at about 9 p.m.
The impact caused the International truck to overturn. Kelly was pronounced dead at the scene. His 30-year-old female passenger and the 39-year-old male driving the commercial vehicle were both taken to Christus Spohn Memorial Hospital in Corpus Christi.
The female passenger of the Hyundai was reported to be seriously injured, but the truck driver's injuries were not considered serious.
According to the report prepared by Highway Patrol Trooper Marvin Baker of the DPS office in Beeville, weather conditions were clear and dry.
All three persons involved in the accident were wearing seat belts.

Donald Blumberg's interest in photography was so great that it eclipsed a promising career in science. After completing his master's degree in biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder, Blumberg moved to New York and honed his technical skills working as an instructor. Blumberg often references his concerns with technique through the very compositions of his photographs. Here, for example, the artist is interested in the power of everyday images and their ability to influence public debate. The accumulation of images of President Lyndon Baines Johnson (1908–1973), taken directly from a television screen, reinforces a replication that is twice removed from its original source—through the television and through a camera lens—and thus undermines the authenticity of the subject. In this photograph Johnson looks concerned, angry, confounded and tired—a reflection, perhaps, of the true state of the Union. Blumberg created this work as part of a series that expressed his anti-war convictions.

Onorato and Airport Authority Officials Announce Lease Extensions with US Airways for Facilities at Pittsburgh International Airport
PITTSBURGH - Allegheny County Chief Executive Dan Onorato and Allegheny County Airport Authority Board Member Rich Stanizzo today announced five-year lease extensions with US Airways for hangars and other facilities at Pittsburgh International Airport.
``Our region`s qualified workforce and Pittsburgh International Airport`s excellent facilities are the major reasons we are announcing these lease extensions with US Airways today,`` said Onorato. ``It is an endorsement of our ability to respond to the changing needs of the airline while also ensuring maintenance jobs and other opportunities for US Airways employees in this region.``
The Airport Authority and US Airways have amended the airline`s current agreement for a five-year term from January 2006 through December 2010 with an option to extend. The agreement involves Hangars 3, 4 and 5, as well as the special services building, cargo building, mail sort facility and ground service equipment maintenance facility. The hangars will be used for line maintenance on US Airways` Boeing and Airbus aircraft and heavy maintenance on its Airbus fleet.
``This agreement is an important step in our goal to keep Pittsburgh International Airport a vital part of US Airways` ongoing business plan,`` said Stanizzo. ``It also symbolizes a renewed commitment by all parties involved to embark on an enterprising and realistic approach to dealing with the new US Airways.``
C.A. Howlett, US Airways senior vice president, public affairs, stated, ``US Airways has an extensive history in Pittsburgh, and today`s long-term lease agreement reaffirms our commitment to providing quality air service and jobs to the community. The facilities here are certainly second-to-none, but it`s the people, our employees, our passengers and the people we work with at the county and airport authority that set Pittsburgh apart. We look forward to continuing a great partnership with the county and the airport authority.``
# # #
US Airways is the largest tenant, carries the most passengers, and offers the greatest number of flights at Pittsburgh International Airport. The airline provides 176 daily flights to 60 non-stop destinations and employs 3,169 aviation professionals in Southwestern Pennsylvania.

Kingston Memory this week said it had started shipping its SSDNow M-series with a set of accessories that should make it much easier for end-users to upgrade from hard disk drives to solid-state drives. While the decision will indisputably make acquisition of Kingston's SSDs, this will hardly encourage end-users to switch from HDDs to flash-based storage simply due to price.
From now on, all Kingston SSDNow M-series solid-state drives will ship with Acronis TrueImage hard drive cloning software and CD installation guide, USB 2.5" enclosure with accompanying USB cable, 2.5" to 3.5" drive bay mounting brackets and screws (for desktop PCs) and Serial ATA data and power cable extenders. The bundle should make it easier to transfer all the necessary software from a hard drive to Kingston's SSDNow M-series drive and install the SSD into a desktop computer.
"This all-in-one kit is the perfect solution for enterprise companies, corporate end users and consumers to incorporate SSD technology into existing systems. The Kingston SSDNow M-series bundle makes moving the operating system, applications and all other data from a hard-disk drive to a solid-state drive quick and easy whether for a notebook, desktop or workstation," said Ariel Perez, SSD business manager at Kingston.
Although additional software and accessories will help end-users to transit to new type of storage, it is highly unlikely that it will actually catalyze such transition. Kingston charges $427 and $843 for SSDNow M 80GB and 160GB, respectively, which is still very expensive compared to hard disk drives. Moreover, such price-points mean that hardly a lot of end-users would install those SSDs into older PCs, whereas new personal computers will hardly need disk cloning software.
Kingston SSDNow M breed (Intel X25-M) features up to 250MB/s sequential read speed and up-to 70MB/s sequential write speed and offers 1.2 million hours MTBF.

I am currently working on the design of the modernization of a large enterprise. That company has chosen IBM for their technology stack that includes:
- DataPower appliances for www application firewalls and internal cross domain governance.
- WSRR Repository in a Federated ESB
- ILOG ODM Enterprise for decisions support/rules
- Business Process Manager for Orchestration and Human intervention
- WS Message Broker for Basic Service Wrappers/Integration with Legacy Application APIs
- MQ for messaging
The jury is still out on:
- WS ESB, do we need it if we have BPM?
- In a high transaction environment (hundreds to thousands per second, millions per day) what is the best mix of DataPower, BPM and WMB?
- Can BPM scale to 1,000 TPS?
- Should high transaction volumes from customers and partners that come in though SOAP go directly to a WMB orchestration layer on top of WMB basic services, or can a BPM layer do that job?
- In a Federated SOA, can the top level be a combination of BPM for Operations Intervention on exceptions, as well as a WMB for high transaction volumes.
We are planning on testing these hypothesis and I will report our findings back here.

- Abstract
- We present multi-wavelength observations of the radio magnetar PSR J1622-4950 and its environment. Observations of PSR J1622-4950 with Chandra (in 2007 and 2009) and XMM (in 2011) show that the X-ray flux of PSR J1622-4950 has decreased by a factor of ~50 over 3.7 years, decaying exponentially with a characteristic time of τ = 360 & 0177; 11 days. This behavior identifies PSR J1622-4950 as a possible addition to the small class of transient magnetars. The X-ray decay likely indicates that PSR J1622-4950 is recovering from an X-ray outburst that occurred earlier in 2007, before the 2007 Chandra observations. Observations with the Australia Telescope Compact Array show strong radio variability, including a possible radio flaring event at least one and a half years after the 2007 X-ray outburst that may be a direct result of this X-ray event. Radio observations with the Molonglo Observatory Synthesis Telescope reveal that PSR J1622-4950 is 8' southeast of a diffuse radio arc, G333.9+0.0, which appears non-thermal in nature and which could possibly be a previously undiscovered supernova remnant (SNR). If G333.9+0.0 is an SNR then the estimates of its size and age, combined with the close proximity and reasonable implied velocity of PSR J1622-4950, suggest that these two objects could be physically associated.

City probes harassing behavior' toward parking officersBy Kyle Jarvis
The Keene Sentinel | April 12,2013KEENE, N.H. Keene has its own version of parking wars.
City officials say members of a local pro-liberty group have gone too far in tailing city parking enforcement officers. And the city hired a former police officer to videotape evidence of whats been happening.
For weeks, people associated with the group Free Keene have patrolled city streets, keeping an eye out for enforcement officers and getting ahead of them to plug expiring parking meters with change. In most cases, the so-called Robin Hooders leave a business card on the vehicles windshield, with a picture of a cartoon Robin Hood on one side, and a message on the other that reads, Your meter expired! However, we saved you from the kings tariff!
They have also followed officers during their routes. And some city officials say the groups behavior toward the officers just is too much.
Its harassing behavior, said City Manager John A. MacLean. By that I mean following someone with a camera, circling them, following them every day, up and down the street, and thats been taking place.
To determine whether harassing behavior was occurring, city officials hired Peter S. Sturdy Thomas, a former Keene police captain, to follow and videotape the Robin Hooders in the act, MacLean said.
The fact that the (Robin Hooder) is circling, impeding, and standing on top of another person and talking at them and following them step by step, the concern the city has is that its a public safety issue, MacLean said. If several people are doing that, internally (the parking officer is) going to feel a little upset; you might walk a little faster, put your head down, and maybe you dont see a car coming.
You also have people engaged in harassing behavior, absorbed in what theyre up to, and that could be dangerous for them as well. And last, the public in general is concerned about this and doesnt like it, and could get engaged, could lose their focus, possibly stepping out in front of a car, or getting involved in an altercation.
Keene Human Resources Director William A. Prokop said Thomas spent 46.5 hours over roughly a 3½-week period beginning in mid-March videotaping the Robin Hooders, and was paid a total of $1,339.67 for his work.
That money came out of the citys safety and security budget. The city has used Thomas before to do background investigations of prospective city employees, he said.
Prokop said its the behavior alone that has city officials concerned, and not the fact that the Robin Hooders are preventing motorists from getting parking tickets.
That part does not bother us or concern us at all, he said. If people want to put money in the meters, thats fine, good for them. But when our employees cant take a bathroom break without having someone waiting for them to start up again, thats a concern.
Prokop said that hes received several emails from citizens asking what city officials would do about this, and that city employees other than parking officers have also expressed concerns.
They considered this harassment and questioned whether it could spill over into their jobs, in addition to employees themselves who were feeling they were being harassed, he said.
But Ian B. Freeman, a Free Keene blogger who hosts the local radio show Free Talk Live, called allegations of harassing behavior ridiculous.
I know the people on the streets, and everybodys very friendly to the parking enforcers, he said. Some days the parking enforcers are chatty, and some days theyre grumpy. But Ive only seen the Robin Hooders act in a friendly manner towards these people.
Freeman said 1,500 cards were given out in March alone, and that while some Robin Hooders are Free State Project members or Free Keene bloggers, many are not.
And while the Robin Hooders do usually carry video cameras, Freeman said its for accountability purposes only, to make sure their actions are documented to prevent parking enforcers or anyone else from making false claims against them.
Robin Hooders do sometimes wait for parking enforcers to return from breaks, Freeman said, because their objective is to get ahead of them to prevent parking tickets from being issued.
If they dont like it, they should shut down the parking enforcement department, he said. That would solve the problem, and I think that would make people very happy.
Freeman believes the parking enforcement operation is unnecessary, which is similar to how he feels about most government operations.
They have to maintain the illusion of legitimacy, because essentially government is a coercive monopoly; if you dont do what they say, theyre going to possibly put you in a cage (jail).
Free Keene has ruffled feathers in the community several times, most notably in protesting drug laws by holding daily 4:20 marijuana smoking sessions in Keenes Central Square, approaching Keene Middle School students in protest of public education and even hosting a Keene City Council drinking game to protest open container laws.
Freeman said most of the response from the public to the Robin Hood effort has been positive.
Thank you Robin Hood, very clever, and with a welcome sense of humor, one poster said on the groups Facebook page.
Thanks for filling my meter awesome! said another.
The video evidence Thomas recorded was recently turned over to the citys legal department, which is reviewing the material to determine whether harassing behavior occurred, Prokop said.
A meeting later this week or early next week between MacLean, city attorneys and Prokop will help determine city officials next step, Prokop said.MORE IN NewsNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full StoryNarration and audio production by RH Alcott Full StoryA Swiss law firm claims Vermonters for a Clean Environment violated the rights of the owners of...

Oh. This can't be good…
Via Zero Hedge, I've acquired this very interesting little chart, that shows the number of margin calls on its credit-extensions to counterparties. Huh. Now, see, I just wrote that, and I have no idea what it means. It's just lots of economic gobbledy-gook when you write it out in a single sentence like that. But, here, let's take a gander at the chart, then I'll explain, in human terms, what it tells us.
So, the European Central Bank (ECB) had this great idea, which was to implement a European version of Quantitative Easing. They called it the Long-Term Refinancing Operation, or LTRO.
It was actually pretty simple. The banks would go to the ECB and get an LTRO loan by providing collateral of some sort—generally A-rated securities. By which, I mean a security that at least one rating agency has rated as "A". Like, you know, Italian bonds. They don't actually have to give the collateral to the ECB or anything, just let them know that, "Hey, we'll just keep it safe, and can hand it over if we really have to." On the strength of those assurances, and the sterling quality of the collateral in question, like Spanish bonds, the ECB then gives the banks a huge hunk of cash. The banks then get to keep the money for up to three years, but are only charged the average overnight rate of interest.
Now, as long as the securities you put up for collateral are good, like Irish bonds, it's a pretty sweet deal. Alas, if the securities turn out not to be so reliable, the ECB will make a "margin call", that is to say, they will demand the banks come up with additional cash or other assets to cover the collateral.
As you can see from the charts, that is exactly what the ECB is is starting to do. That's troublesome. You see, the ECB has a €3 trillion balance sheet. But it only has a bit under €11 billion in actual assets. So the ECB has a leverage ratio of a little under 300:1. So, it really does have to go after better assets from the banks if the initial collateral turns, you know, sucky.
The problem then is, as Tyler at Zero Hedge puts it:
The rapid deterioration in collateral asset quality is extremely worrisome(GGBs? European financial sub debt? Papandreou's Kebab Shop unsecured 2nd lien notes?) as it forces the banks who took the collateralized loans to come up with more 'precious' cash or assets (unwind existing profitable trades such as sovereign carry, delever further by selling assets, or subordinate more of the capital structure via pledging more assets – to cover these collateral shortfalls) or pay-down the loan in part. This could very quickly become a self-fulfilling vicious circle – especially given the leverage in both the ECB and the already-insolvent banks that took LTRO loans that now back the main Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese sovereign bond markets.
Essentially, the LTRO program is beginning to suck higher quality assets out of the banks to meet the margin calls that are issued when the initial collateral's value starts to go belly up. Sucking those higher-quality assets into the ECB's LTRO collateral program, mean that they can no longer be used to finance business and consumer credit, and, thus, spending. The banks essentially become bond storage warehouses, that don't actually do any business.
That slows the economy, of course. Which means that those original A-Rated securities stand e much better chance of defaulting, in which case, they're worth nothing. As Seeking Alpha explains:
The real menace comes in the event of a further weakening of the Eurozone economy. If the economy were to contract, the collateral that the banks have pledged to the ECB may cease to be "performing" (seemingly the only hard criterion for collateral for the second round of LTRO). The ECB would be at risk–and ultimately so would the banks that pledged the defaulting securities.
Any defaults, be they of collateral or the banks themselves, would be a serious issue for the ECB. The ECB is supporting its EUR 3 trillion balance sheet with EUR 10.76 billion in capital–leverage of nearly 300 to one. With the fiscal situation of European sovereigns already strained to the breaking point, it's hard to see where the money to cover the defaults could come from. This issue of a ballooning balance sheet, coupled with shaky collateral and the 3-year tenor of the ECB loans, is precisely why Trichet and Weber would not go the Draghi route. They bristled at the risk.
The odds of a calamity of the sort that would endanger the ECB are not great, but nor are they impossibly long.
Well, that huge jump in margin calls may be an indicator that those not "impossibly long" odds are getting shorter and shorter. And I wonder how much exposure US banks have to an LTRO default through credit/FX swaps. Probably…really a lot.
So, we got that goin' for us.

If Beeville residents vote for the $15.3 million dollar bond in May without the whole clear information needed, it will be just like Ms. Pelosi when they were voting for Obamacare – just vote it in and read the information after the election.
If the bond should be voted in May's election, the city is compromising the residents to an increase in taxes and utility rates. If the bond is voted in, remember that taxes will increase. The BISD, Coastal Bend College, Bee County, city and all businesses will have to increase their prices to pay for the tax on the water consumption. Maybe not by much, but they will pass the cost to its customers, which will amount to more unseen indirect taxes.
There are farmers in the area of the water pipeline that comes from Swinney Switch who are willing to sell water to the city so that they do not need to use reverse osmosis to treat the water; this will be a lot less than the RO project. Residents, you do not have to drill anything; the water lines are already producing water, and it is available.
The consultants on this proposed project are only looking out for themselves. And here I was thinking that Bernie Madoff was locked up.
Think about it. How convenient that the water sample for bacteriological testing which was done in November 2012 has just been released to be printed four months later; it must mean that it is still out of compliance. But nobody was instructed to boil the water. (Listed in Beeville Bee-Picayune on April 3, 2013, bottom Page 10.)

Are you struggling to get pregnant? According to the Mayo Clinic, some lifestyle choices can affect your ability to get pregnant.
Maintaining a healthy weight can affect your fertility. According to the Mayo Clinic, being overweight or extremely underweight can affect hormone production and inhibit normal ovulation.
Practicing safe sex to protect yourself against sexually transmitted infections (STIs) can also increase your chances of becoming pregnant, as STIs such as Chlamydia and gonorrhea can cause infertility.
Eating a healthy diet can promote fertility. Keeping up with good nutrition and consuming the prenatal vitamin of folic acid can benefit your fertility chances, according to the Mayo Clinic.
Seeing your doctor regularly to ensure you're in good overall health can also benefit your chances of becoming pregnant. This way your doctor will be able to promptly treat any conditions that might threaten your fertility chances.
The Mayo Clinic also recommends managing your stress levels to increase your odds of conception. The Mayo Clinic suggests practicing relaxation techniques when trying to become pregnant.

We are not aware of this feature being able to be turned off. You may want to contact the manufacturer to see if there is any adjustments. Feel free to let us know if you have any further questions!
Really just about anything will work in terms of the ATO itself, its more about how far and fast you need to pump water. The most common pump is the aqualifter pump which pumps slowly and only goes a couple of feet. Otherwise if you need to pump larger distances you could use something like the 50ml top off doser.
The vacuum pump is on the bracket at the top of the tank at lease 3 ft. higher then my R/O holding tank(no pump in here for the A.T.O.
Is the water in your storage container higher off the floor then the water in your sump? If so that would create a siphon when the pump turns on and water would continue to pass to the tank after it turns off (regardless of where pump itself is located).
Any low flow pump will work with this ATO. I ave personally used our 50ml/min dosing pump but find that it had trouble keeping up with large systems. I moved to the Auqa Gadget HydroFill ATO Pump due to the fact that it can be run dry without any problems, its self priming and it won't back siphon.
Another great option would be a small submersible pump like the eheim 300 or sicce micra and micraplus
Keep in mind these pumps are rated for low head heights so if you are running the ATO hose from the ground to the top of your tank you will need to go a little bigger.
I hope this helps!
Have a great day :)

Worked Sorta By Jamie on 12/3/2016Jamie wouldn't recommend this product to a friendLike others have said. Its okay I guess but don't trust it with your tank. It will randomly decide to stop working and then your tank won't fill. If you're always around its not terrible but when you work 80 hours a week like me then you quickly get your tank 10 gallons of water short and with a salinity through the roof.
As advertised fits in back of JBJ 6 Gallon By JBJ6Reef on 6/24/2016JBJ6Reef would recommend this product to a friendI use this in my JBJ 6 gallon reef tank. The float sensor fits in the middle back compartment after I removed the original media.
Decent ATO when it works, not reliable for long trips By Michael on 6/2/2016Michael would recommend this product to a friendI've had this ATO about 2.5 years now. It's decently reliable, however, sometimes it just stops working, its like it will get past the float valve and just not try to fill any more. Usually I can go 3-4 days with it working, and then it stops, I'll come home after not being there for 5 days and I'm about to run dry in my pump. It's a shame, since I'd like to be able to leave for 5+ days without worrying about the tank running dry. I would recommend it for people who had time and are around enough to catch it not working. I've swapped float sensors, but went back to the original, because the new one shorted out or something.
No go By Just_Tim on 5/21/2016Just_Tim wouldn't recommend this product to a friendIve bought 3 of these. None of them lasted longer than 6 months. 1 blew it's board in 60 days, the other two stopped recognizing the float switches. Jbj did send me a new head unit but after 3 failed controllers I have completely lost faith in the products this company pushes.
short lived By Chris on 4/29/2016Chris would recommend this product to a friendthese just don't last.
Positive Review By Jason on 2/16/2016Jason would recommend this product to a friendI am running the JBJ ATO on my 27 gallon cube with the eshopps sump. I highly recommend watching the videos and setting the ATO with Sensor A triggering the pump and flipping Sensor B around to shut the pump off if the water volume gets to high in the sump.
Money Well Spent By Chris on 1/3/2016Chris would recommend this product to a friendEasy setup, straightforward indicators, and well priced. I haven't had any issues at all in months of use, and little to no build-up on the floats. I do still clean them with my sump maintenance, and splash some water on them to stave off salt creep now and again. I do like having the second float as an off switch as recommend by the BRS video. Will buy again if I need another.
Same story different person By josh on 12/22/2015josh wouldn't recommend this product to a friendI recently had this product working well for about a month or two. Switched it to a different tank and now the red light goes on for instilling water and does not go off, switched sensors, power on and off, no kinks in sensors, it just does not work. Very disappointing. Had a great start
Nice By Phand on 12/19/2015Phand would recommend this product to a friendI purchased this with a nice pump very reliable and cost effective
Disappointed By Sad Panda on 12/1/2015Sad Panda wouldn't recommend this product to a friendBiggest thing I found was that if I have power outages even for a minute or two when the power comes back on the ATO turns on the pump for about 10 seconds "no matter what the water level is". If you have several power stops and starts like when they are trying to get the power on after a storm you could end up with a flood.
doesn't work properly By azreef on 3/13/2015azreef wouldn't recommend this product to a friendCame out of box looking good, but after setting up it does not want to turn on the pump when needed. Just lights up red indicating water level low, but the relay does not turn on unit. Disappointing!
Works Great! By Reefer on 2/4/2015Reefer would recommend this product to a friendI've had this unit up and running for 5 months now with no issues what so ever. Very easy to set up and install. I clean the float off that sits in my sump once a month to make sure no debris is caught in it and can cause it to malfunction. I like the different install options you can do with this unit. I have my floats installed so one is in my sump and tells it when the water level is low, and the other is in my reserve pump so it kills power to my pump when the water level gets too low so it won't burn out my pump.

Parks program connects doctors, patients, exercise
"Walk with a doc" promotes exercise in relaxed environment
The Madison Parks Department is concerned about your health.
Yes, yours.
That's why it has instituted a program to connect doctors with individuals in the community called "Walk with a Doc."
Over the weekend, the initiative took its first baby steps, as people like bariatric patient Mike Goldade made strides toward improving their health.
"Yeah, I'm glad I brought the walker instead of the crutches," said Goldade, adding, "I've lost about 165 pounds since last November, since I started the bariatric system."
The first weekend in October marked the 6-month anniversary since Goldade's weight loss surgery.
It was also the first day of the Madison Parks Department's "Walk with a Doc" initiative.
The program is free to users and the concept couldn't be more simple: Meet at a park and go for a walk led by a doctor.
"Out in the park walking, it's just one person talking to another person," said bariatric surgeon Dr. Jacob Greenberg. "It's a very relaxed environment."
Going for a walk in the park isn't necessarily an easy task for patients like Mike Goldade. But it is exactly what the doctor ordered. Dr. Greenberg said it is the smallest changes that can make the biggest differences.
"If you can get out and walk 30 to 45 minutes a day sometimes, just four days a week, that can show significant change and significant benefit," said Dr. Greenberg. "The other thing is change what you're eating."
Dr. Greenberg said that taking his practice outside removes the barriers that may prevent some folks from seeking help.
"We want to get people healthy, whether it's through medical changes, dietary modifications, exercise, and in some cases or extreme cases, surgery," said Dr. Greenberg. "But our focus is to see people get healthy and losing weight."
After 15 years as a type 2 diabetic. Goldade hasn't needed any medication in two months.
The weight loss also means he'll be able to undergo hip replacement surgery at the end of October.
At 49 years old, Goldade's proving that it is never too late to turn your health around.
"The light at the end of the tunnel got a little bigger and now it's really bright," remarked Goldade.
The next "Walk with a Doc" will be on Sunday, October 28, at Turville Point Conservation Park.

Mary Ross
Mary Ross
PLAINFIELD Mary Ross, 82, died in the early evening of December 26th, 2012, at the Woodridge Nursing Home, where she had been a patient since June of 2012.
Mary was born on October 15th, 1930, in Walden, Vermont, to Theodore L. Timmons and Leora M. (Durgan) Timmons. She was a graduate of Plainfield High School, class of 1949.
She married her sweetheart, Russell Morrison Ross, on September 18th, 1950, in the Town of Plainfield, having celebrated 58 years of marriage until Russells death in 2009.
In Marys early years, she worked as a waitress in various locations in Central Vermont, the Barre Country Club being her last. She was also employed for many years thereafter at the Sprague Electric Co. in Barre, Vermont. Although she worked many years outside the home, her home was where she took great pride.
In early years, she helped Russell in their large vegetable garden, preparing and canning good food and helped to pass that on to her six daughters. She was especially noted for her delicious pickles and chocolate doughnuts.
Mary was a True Friend to all she met, never a bad word to be said of anyone; she spent many hours listening to friends and colleagues a kind soul that could always find the good in people she knew.
In earlier years, Mary and Russell were very involved in the Scottish Clan Ross Organization, where they traveled extensively throughout New England to the various games. During this time, she made many lasting friendships and many memories.
As a young child, Mary was an avid reader and continued to do so until her death. She left behind a wonderful library of books that she was quite proud to say, I have read them all. She was especially interested in cookbooks and cooking shows and could be found at any time reading a recipe or watching a show about food.
Mary is survived by her six daughters, Betsy Ross and her husband Reggie Griggs of Barre, Leora Ross of West Lebanon, N.H., Nancy Parks and her husband Steve of Danbury, N.H., Andrea Carbonneau and her husband Randy of Plainfield, Vt., Susan Lawson and her husband Randy of Shalimar, Florida, and Lori Ross of Swenson Falls City, Texas. She also leaves behind eight grandchildren and two great-grandchildren, as well as a stepbrother, Jim Dumont and his wife Pat of New Hampshire.
Her husband, Russell Ross, and a sister, Rachael Roberts, predeceased her.
A celebration of Marys life will be held on Thursday, January 3, 2013, at 11 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church in Graniteville, with calling hours on Wednesday, January 2, from 6 to 8 p.m., at the Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy St., Barre.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks any donations to be made to The ALS Association, Northern New England, 10 Ferry St., Suite 309, Concord, NH 03220.MORE IN ObituariesPaul N. Sourdiff

I would like to wish the City of Kenedy good luck with your latest Municipal Judge appointment, Barbara Shaw. However, I do feel your vetting process is flawed.
To answer Brandon Briones' question as to why she quit her job as County Judge, her letter of resignation was printed in the Karnes Countywide on March 19, 2014 and was read at Commissioners Court meeting the following Tuesday, if I remember correctly. If she was so bothered and scared of what was being said, why did she run for office again? Personally, I think she lost the election - sore loser - quit job.
In reply to Isidro "Stormy" Rosette's letter to the editor, Aug. 6, 2014, I would like to know why he is thought the County Clerk (who does not have a name) under the bus again? Carol must be doing her job or she wouldn't have been re-elected or still be on the job. In her capacity as County Clerk, she as the right to hire or fire an employee. Why the employee in question was fired is between the County Clerk and the employee. Anything else would only be speculation or hearsay.
If you would come to Commissioners Court meetings, you would see things are getting done. The wheels of government move slowly and carefully. If anyone has complaints about how the county is being run, they need to come to the meetings and voice them.
My only complaint about the children being held at the county residential centers is the "luxuries and amenities" they are receiving, while there are children in our county who don't have the same things available to them.
Thank you,
Jo Eilers

Man celebrates 87th birthday by skydiving with family
3 generations of family members join him on jump
With limitless ways to celebrate his latest birthday, an 87-year-old man in Washington decided to leap out of a perfectly good airplane, and he took multiple generations of his family with him.
Monty Montgomery, of Tacoma, told KOMO-TV that his skydiving adventure was made all the more special when his daughter, grandson and great-grandchild all joined in his unique birthday wish, to take in the horizon from a free fall before he loses his sight.
According to the TV station, Montgomery suffers from macular degeneration and was told by his doctor eight years ago that he would likely be blind by now. He said he still has vision in his right eye, and could see the smiling faces of his family members as they fell back to earth.
"I've been making a liar out of him for a couple of years," he said.
The former soldier said he was recently reunited with his daughter and her family after a 40-year estrangement, which made this birthday even more exciting.
"One day I don't have a family and the next day I have beaucoups of them," he told KOMO. "I broke down and cried like a baby."
Montgomery said he's not sure what new test of courage he'll come up with for his 88th birthday, but that he has a great-great-grandchild on the way, so his team will be expanding.

- Making a choice: why Australian universities adopt different modes of delivery
- Author(s)
- Smith, A.; Ling, P.
- Abstract
- This paper reports the findings of a major national research project examining the use of multiple modes of delivery in Australian universities. A variety of factors including the increased use of on- line educational technology has pushed Australian universities in recent years to extend the ways in which they deliver learning and teaching. However, the extent of the uptake of these modes of delivery has remained somewhat unclear as have the precise reasons why universities have adopted multiple modes. The research identified the pedagogical, organisational and environmental factors impacting on university decisions to diversify course delivery across more than one location or mode. In this paper the authors report briefly on the results of a survey which clarifies the extent of the use of multiple modes of delivery in Australian universities and case study research that attempts to unpack the reasons for adoption. The paper focuses on the second issue - factors influencing university decision-making about modes of delivery. The research finds that traditional face to face delivery is still the dominant form of delivery but universities are experimenting with a surprisingly wide variety of alternatives. [Author abstract]

Thanks for accepting me! ^.^
And about the Oracle games for the eShop, first of all, I don't have the money for it (which is pretty much a load of bullsh*t, they're cheap over here). I also don't really need to because I believe in the power of emulators.
Favorite example of out of place technology in Zelda?
Technology was pretty advanced in Skyward Sword. More specifically, Lanayru Desert and the "LD Corporation" and the use of Timeshift Orbs. Also, this machinery was in the past of that timeline, so technology must have been existent somewhere long before Skyward Sword.
You've got the Ancient Robots, Lanayru Mining Facility, Beamos, the Sandship is powered by wind and electricity, and the motorboat.
Also in Skyward Sword, the Ancient Cistern operates through a complex network of pipes.
Wait, what was the question again? Choose my favorite? Sh*t.
I always wondered how they got the stereo system and ghost tracking device at Ikana Canyon in Majora's Mask.New Topic:
What is your favorite example of out of place technology in Zelda?
In PH, Link rides a Steamboat, even though at the time the Train wasn't invented yet. In our history, the Train is created BEFORE theSteamboat, and since the Steamboat was invented first here, there SHOULD be steam-powered Trains in ST or even cars, as it takes 100 years after PH. But then again, Spoiler:- Major PH spoiler:
The World of the Ocean King is in an alternate dimension from New Hyrule and the Great Sea

LASERS!! Yeah things that can shoot lasers. For example, Beamos.
Also, the Iron Boots in Twilight Princess are used in the Goron Mines when near something magnetic, indicating that electricity and magnetic stuff had been invented by that time.

I got FSA now! I`m currently in the Eastern Palace. The game is fun. It borrows music from ALttP, and game play mechanics from FS as well as adding new things. For example, in Single Player you can arrange the four Links into different formations, which can actually lead to different strategies to use in battle. It also uses 2D sidescrolling, making it the 6th Zelda game to use it. Though getting multiplayer to work is a pain. You need 4 GBAs, and four GBA Link cables to play with three other people. All in all though, I like it and recommend it if you like strategic stuff.
Do you mind? I'm tryin' ta write somethin' here!
K, wait what? Let me see... Four Swords... then... A Link To the Past? Yeah, yes. Right?Originally Posted by JFought
Favorite example of out of place technology
Color photography, submarines, the Hawkeye (that thing that adds a laser scope to your Bow), and whatever the Hookshot/Clawshot is made out of.
My two cents on the ALttP2 thing. I haven't seen a basic Zelda game in a long time. The last one I remember was Minish Cap (I'm not including that limited time Four Swords Advance remake in this equation). It has captured my interest. Hopefully it will be as tough as the original ALttP game was in terms of difficulty.
OMFG im really excited for the new zelda 3DS game and WW for WiiU! Im so surprised there hasn't been more speculation. What do you guys think of the new wall/drawing travel feature!? Looks SO amazing and graphics look great. OMFG im gunna play the hell outa that game lol. BTW if the previous word came up blanked out, then it wasnt the f word it was h*ll. lol Anyway what instrument do you guys think will be in the 3DS version?
(P.S. activity has been low. Its appreciated if you could post a bit more!)
The instrument will probably be an Ocorina, based on the timeline its in.
I would have a new topic to liven the place up, but I can`t think of one. Though I do have a Zelda fun fact! Did you know that the soundtracks of LA and the oracle games are EXTREMLY similar, but were not worked on by all the same people?
Do you mind? I'm tryin' ta write somethin' here!
I actually just used paint to get rid of all of the random pixels surrounding the Legend of Zelda logo. That part was extremely time consuming, but the rest was rather easy.That does look rather nice. What program did you use? If you're really looking to improve, try out various software. I use GIMP and I went from horrible pixelated banners to... whatever the heck I make now. Speaking of art, I will try to make some art for this club. The only problem is homework. School be damned!
Has anyone here heard of Zelda Reorchestrated? It's a project to improve all of the music from the games. They do a really good job and recently they finished their biggest project: The Twilight Symphony. It was originally going to be on ITunes, but I'm guess Nintendo didn't want them to. They raised a ton of money to do this project and it sounds gorgeous! you can download it on their homepage at www.zreomusic.com. Unfortunately, they are ending the project to do other things. They also have a youtube channel if you want to hear the music first before you download it. Also, the Twilight Symphony has a total of 51 songs and is about 3 and a half hours long.

Here's a topic for ya'!
Choose one! (Mormon's, I apologize) Choose a girlfriend or wife for Link to have forever, other than Zelda because she complains about how he should be 7 years younger and live out those several years. (OoT reference)
I would go with Malon/Marin. She gives him Epona and that is extremely awesome.
I feel like I'm running out of things to say when I post here. Oh well. If this club was my day job, I'd never quit.
Why can't this club be my day job... ;-;Oh well. If this club was my day job, I'd never quit.
Well, where's Fluffy? He hasn't been here in a while. Anyways, just thought of how frickin' awesome it'll be to play an overhead-view zelda game that doesn't shift the screen when you walk off of it (the screen). And, man, no grid-based, tile-by-tile movement. That'll be great. I think we'll have many more topics and such when more trailers are released for things like WW-U and Z-N3DS.
I feel like there has almost been zero activity in the club, so I've written a bunch of topics that I will be posting every few days to help increase activity.
Topic #1: Is Groose Gonzo's Ancestor?
I'm not saying my opinion, but what things about the two of them makes them similar? (If you think about it, you'll realize what they are.)
I have claimed LatiosBanner made by Sworn Metalhead
Links future wife if not Zelda?: Malon. Mostly just because I like her character.
Is Goose Gonzo`s ancesor?: Its unlikely, but they do look kind of similar. Unless Nintendo comfirms or dismisses it, its a plausible theory.
Do you mind? I'm tryin' ta write somethin' here!
I am a Christian and proud of it! Copy and paste this if you are too.

ALL Lives Matter
1. They both are experts with Catapults (what pirate ship doesn't have cannons unless someones really good with a catapult.)
2. They both have crush on Zelda/Tetra (although gonzo's crush on Tetra is a little creepy, but we still don't know how much older Gonzo is.)
3. Their names both start with G (It's not really a good reason to say they're related just because their names start with the same letter, but I guess it could work.)
There are other reasons that makes me think that they're related, but I forget what they are.
I have claimed LatiosBanner made by Sworn Metalhead
Hmmm.... Well, there attitude isn't so similar, but they are both very muscular in a certain sense... And, I suppose Gonzo has a bit of Groose's "show-off"-y way. IDK, but it's definitely a good question.
BTW, I'd like to make two rank-ups, but I cant without Fluffy. Ill just announce them.
Zephraxe- Beginner Knight
JFought- Intermediate Knight
Feel free to grab those userbars
Good question... Fluffyy, where are yooooooooooooooooou? Also, Fluffyy's a girl lol. xD AND, what do you mean by an overhead Zelda that doesn't change screens?
Oh sh*t, here come the fanfic writers...
I'm trying to think of a new topic. I'll look around to see if I can "borrow" ideas.
I think my copy of Oracle of ages screwed up. So I beat wing dungeon and talked to the raft and rope guy then went back to the present and when i went to the graveyard the event didnt happen.
@Charizard: Ain't Phantom Hourglass/Spirit Tracks good enough? They definitely don't have the tile-based movement though I am not sure about changing screens, cause I've never played either of those two.

Yep. U got it dead on.I think he means the transition between the rooms when you enter/leave one. Think of original Zelda dungeons.
Well, I never got a copy of those. But I think Ill be grabbing PH soon. My friend has it and it looks so amazing...!
Just thought of this.
If you could combine The Legend of Zelda with another game other than PKMN, what would it be?
I don't have the game but maybe Journey for the PS3. The graphics on it would be perfection, and I would swing the Master Sword all day just to see the amazing reactions. And, there's some interesting puzzles in that game too. Gawd, that would be incredible. Also, Zelda and Minecraft. Because that would be sick.
If you could combine Zelda with a game other than Pokemon, what would it be?
Super Mario Galaxy 2. Mostly because I would like to see what Link would look like for each powerup. Plus, Starship Link. XD
Do you mind? I'm tryin' ta write somethin' here!

Rock Hill resident busted for marijuana grow-house
November 1, 2011 —
The NEW YORK STATE POLICE at Wurtsboro, N. Y. announce the arrest of Brent J. Davis, age 45 of Hazelhurst Ave., Glen Rock, N. J. and Renner Rd., Rock Hill, N. Y., and Louis Raible, 50 years old, of Lafayette Pl., Englewood, N. J. for Criminal Possession of Marihuana 2nd degree (Felony) ,Unlawfully Growing Cannabis (Misdemeanor) and Unlawful Possession of Marihuana (Violation).
On October 31, 2011 the New York State Police at Wurtsboro executed a search warrant at the Davis residence located on Renner Rd., Rock Hill, Sullivan County, N. Y. and discovered a massive marihuana cultivation operation located in the basement of the residence. The investigation revealed that the cultivated marihuana had been recently harvested, with less than 10 pounds of high grade marihuana recovered at the residence.
The growing operation consisted of hydroponic growing beds , sophisticated high powered lighting , heating and cooling equipment. The operation had a growing potential of over 200 high grade marihuana plants with a street value of $3000.00 per pound every three months.
On November 1, 2011 both Davis and Raible were arraigned in front of Town of Fallsburg Town Justice Ivan Kalter, and both were remanded to the Sullivan County jail in lieu of No Bail pending future court action.

SAM ARMBRUST (President and CEO, Sematech): SunShot represents a very serious approach by the United States government, recognizing that we are three to five years from having solar photovoltaic adopted as a(n) important energy source.
PRADEEP HALDAR (Professor and Head of Nanoscale Engineering, CNSE): The SunShot initiative was announced by the Department of Energy really to focus on reducing the cost of solar technologies, the installed cost of solar, to a dollar a watt.
ALAIN KALOYEROS (Senior Vice President and CEO, CNSE): What I admire about the Department of Energy and the SunShot initiative is the innovation with which, the novelty with which they are approaching the problem.
DAN HOLLADY (Manager of Advanced Technologies, Sematech): The DOE funding is a tremendous opportunity to work with these new technologies, transition them into manufacturing, and develop the manufacturing productivity capabilities that are able to turn these into significant industry for the United States.
MR. ARMBRUST: In the last decade, Sematech, in partnership with CNSC, or the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering, have come together to invest in an infrastructure in this complex.
MR. HALDAR: Sematech has been around for about 30 years now. What they've done is brought back U.S. competitiveness in the semiconductor industry after they first got established back in the late '80s and early '90s.
MR. HOLLADAY: The semiconductor industry is based on Moore's Law, a technical and economic theory around planned innovations. I see the same opportunities – although the solar industry's different – but I see the same opportunities for the SunShot program.
MR. HALDAR: What CNSC has done is expanded the Sematech model of collaboration and allowed us to also bring in partners that are interested in terms of keeping their technology proprietary.
MR. KALOYEROS: We're literally coming together to be able to share innovation, share the cost of technology, and address the technical challenges and the commercialization challenges.
MR. HOLLADAY: This is the first time in history that the nation has pulled together a public and private initiative like this to drive solar.
MR. ARMBRUST: The role of government is best played when it serves as the catalyst to pull the industry together to work in a pre-competitive mode to work on standards and infastructures. That benefits everybody.
MR. HALDAR: It meets out future energy needs. As we grow, it allows us to provide clean, good energy to our citizens. It helps the environment by reducing our carbon footprint. And it helps the economy by generating manufacturing jobs all across the U.S.
MR. KALOYEROS: With the cost of oil increasing tremendously, with the willingness of state government and the federal government, through the Department of Energy, to invest significant resources, with the high level of interest from companies that want to commercialize these technologies, all these events are kind of lining up to make sure that this initiative is a success.

Dear members,
Thank you, NarutoBase Staff
I'm 4 or so episodes in and this Arc seems kinda weird. Just wanted to know some thoughts on it. Is it good, bad, worth watching, etc.?
You know at first I thought it was a sort of boring ark, but looking back at it now it actually was pretty good in my opinion. Especially at the end of the ark, the most badass scene I have ever seen in an anime, I'd suggest to keep watching and anticipate something epic.
Oh yeah Thriller Bark was great in my opinion! The end gets both funny and epic!
Wrong section.But its was an okay arc.
Not the best arc, but I enjoyed it from the start ^_^
It was one of the best arcs imo.
I didn't like it at first, but once I got further into it I enjoyed it
one of the best arcs.
