Victorville is served by 20 schools in the Victor Elementary School District and three middle schools and three high schools in the Victor Valley Union High School District. The elementary schools serve students in grades K-6 and include schools geared towards the performing arts, music, foreign language, and sports and fitness. The middle schools and high schools are known for their excellent academics and charter programs that focus in the areas of science and technology. Victorville also has ten Christian Schools, most of which serve grades K-12, offering residents even more options for places to send their children to school.

If you don't mind dry heat than you will be able to survive the summers in Victorville, but your electricity bill may suffer due to the amount you will be using your air conditioning. The average high for July is 99°F and 98°F for August, whereas the winters are cool for the area with average lows of 30°F. The dry climate persists throughout the year with only about 28 days with precipitation, most of which occur during the winter months. You can also expect to get a little over an inch of snow living in Victorville, but most of the winter precipitation is rain.
Apartment Costs
Rebecca Shultze - Property Manager
Rental rates in Hesperia are very reasonable based on the average rent for California and the surrounding area. The average rent is more than $300 less than the state average and is within the same price range as the surrounding areas. If you are looking to rent in California, but want to save money, than this area is right for you. Almost 30% of housing in the area is renter occupied, so the city is friendly to renters. Also, the area offers a nice suburban setting and is still in driving distance of Los Angeles (1.5 hours away) and the beach (about 2 hours away).
Crime & Safety
Rebecca Shultze - Property Manager
If you are looking for apartments in the Hesperia area and are worried about crime rates, Hesperia is the safest place to live in the area. With the lowest crime rate in the area, Hesperia's overall crime index is 25% less than the state average and 22% less than the national average. The property crime rate is 25% less than the state and national average, whereas the violent crime rate is 25% less than the national average and almost 40% less than the state average. Also, the number of crimes based on the total area of the city is over two times less than the national average and more than six time less than the state average.
Section 8 & Affordable
Rebecca Shultze - Property Manager
Currently, Section 8 housing is available in Apple Valley and the surrounding towns. The town is unable to issue section 8 housing vouchers, but does work to increase the amount of affordable housing available and is looking for developers to create more section 8 housing. The town offers a number of other assistance programs for those that qualify, so if you are unable to find a section 8 rental that fits your needs you can contact the town and they may be willing to help.
Rebecca Shultze - Property Manager
Apple Valley is a great place to rent for any person that is looking to stay active. The town offers recreational swimming areas, water aerobics classes, lap swimming pools, and an advanced swimming course. For those that don't like swimming, the town offers various sports and arts programs--from tae kwon do to painting--for all ages. Walking, biking, and horseback riding trails are located in the more wooded areas of town and extend into the surrounding towns as well. The town is currently looking to expand their parks and recreation program and is always open to ways to better their program.

Arrest made in Upshur abduction
An Upshur County man is facing two counts of sexual abuse by a parent or guardian after his apprehension Wednesday morning following an all-night search that began when he allegedly abducted two family members.
Margel Tenney, 57, is being held in the Central Regional Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. He was taken into custody along Interstate 79 near Jane Lew around 9:45 a.m. Wednesday by the West Virginia State Police. He made his initial appearance in Lewis County Magistrate Court before senior status Magistrate Frances Davis, a retired Doddridge County magistrate who was handling matters while the Lewis County magistrates attended a training conference.
The search for Tenney began Tuesday evening when the State Police issued an Amber Alert after allegations arose that Tenney had abducted his 16-year-old stepdaughter Shaina Tenney and her 7-month-old daughter Grace Hope Tenney. The group left the Rock Cave area and is alleged to have traveled in a 1999 Dodge truck to Webster County to get James Tenney. The group later abandoned the truck at a gas station in the Belington area around 6:30 p.m., switching to a 2003 Ford Focus and reportedly headed to Texas.
A State Police dispatch stated that Margel Tenney was the subject of a sexual abuse investigation. While investigators were interviewing another family member at the Buckhannon detachment of the West Virginia State Police, Margel Tenney allegedly left the building and drove to his southern Upshur County residence where he is alleged to have abducted the two girls.
The Ford Focus was seen traveling south on Interstate 79 Wednesday morning by a state trooper, who called for back-up units. The two girls were reported to be "fine," according to the State Police.
More charges could be filed against Margel Tenney. Upshur County Magistrate Court officials said a preliminary hearing will be scheduled for Margel Tenney once they receive the paperwork from neighboring Lewis County.

After coming into the season with hope for an improved season from last year, the St. Louis Rams had their worst fears realized Sunday. Sam Bradford, the team's franchise quarterback, will reportedly miss the 2014 season with a torn ACL.
Chris Mortensen of ESPN reported the news on Twitter:
Rams QB Sam Bradford is out for season after MRI shows he did tear left knee ACL, per sources. Rams will announce later today. @ESPNNFL— Chris Mortensen (@mortreport) August 24, 2014
The loss of Bradford leaves an opportunity for former starting quarterback Shaun Hill. Though he hasn't been given many opportunities in recent years, Hill has put together a decent career and is a viable backup.
Adam Caplan of ESPN provides some background information on the quarterback:
Shaun Hill is the #2 QB for the #Rams. He hasn't started a game since 2010 (with #Lions).— Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) August 24, 2014
Shaun Hill is the only QB remaining on the #Rams roster who has started a game (26 in career).— Adam Caplan (@caplannfl) August 24, 2014
Luckily for the Rams, Hill is an experienced backup quarterback ready to take over the starting role. Though he doesn't offer quite the same fantasy value for owners, he has a chance to put up good statistics.
Following the first preseason game, Hill spoke about trying to get comfortable with the Rams offense, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com:
There's still some learning for me and some comfort in the offense that needs to come. But that's what the preseason is for and I'm very glad that they still have four preseason games. I know there's been a lot of talk about pushing them back to two, but for young guys or any new guy to the team, having four preseason games is great just to get that experience.
A former starter for the San Francisco 49ers and Detroit Lions, Hill has put together decent numbers over his career. In 34 games played, he has 6,381 passing yards, 41 touchdowns to just 23 interceptions and a career 85.9 quarterback rating.
Those numbers are worthy of being a decent starter, but they're not quite at the level of a healthy Bradford. Matt Miller of Bleacher Report shares his thoughts on the situation:
I do like Shaun Hill a lot, he's one of the better backups in the league, but he's a step down from where Bradford was thought to be.— Matt Miller (@nfldraftscout) August 24, 2014
Needless to say, Hill might not be a strong fantasy option for teams looking at backups. But with targets like Tavon Austin, Brian Quick and Zac Stacy around him, he has a chance to be a consistent signal-caller for the Rams.
Albert Breer of NFL.com notes that St. Louis might be looking at other options for the position:
If there's one trade target makes sense for the Rams, if Bradford is out for any period of time, I'd say it'd be Eagles QB Mark Sanchez.— Albert Breer (@AlbertBreer) August 24, 2014
What is Hill's fantasy value for this season?
Much like Josh McCown stepped up last season in the absence of Jay Cutler, Hill has a chance to do the same. But Quick and Austin are hardly the receivers that Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery were for McCown last season.
Given a chance to thrive with a strong offense and defense, Hill could be a waiver-wire pickup if a backup becomes a blunder early in the year. If his consistency in the pocket continues with the Rams, expect him to put up decent numbers in St. Louis.
But with the possibility of the Rams going shopping around the league, Hill could be a difficult choice with other veteran starters on the waiver wire. In deep leagues, he might be one to watch moving forward at the position.

ST. FRANCIS – Wis. – Charlee Bear Products announced it is voluntarily recalling certain lots of its Protein Crunch Bar products because they have the potential to be contaminated with Salmonella. There have been no reported animal or human illneses related to these products. For more information please call Charlee Bear Dog Products.
In October, Charlee Bear Products and Dogbook, the virtual and mobile social network for dog lovers, worked together to create an online contest that "raised treats" for Guide Dogs of America. Guide Dogs of American, founded in 1948, trains highly skilled assistance dogs that transform the lives of the people they live with.
The contest was a great success and Charlee Bear is sending 100,000 treats to Guide Dogs of American to arrive in time for Thanksgiving!
We talked with Daryl Lasky of Guide Dogs of American and he answered some questions for us about this organization the important work it is doing.
CB: Can you give us a little background on Guide Dogs of America?
Daryl: Guide Dogs of America was founded in 1948 when a retired member of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers was turned away from all the existing guide dog schools because of his advanced age – he was only 57. In order to address the needs of Mr. Jones and others who were turned away from established guide dog schools, IAMAW founded Guide Dogs of America. Consequently, GDA consistently graduates a large number of students over 60 years of age. In fact, it is not rare for us to graduate students who are in their 70's or even 80's. We ask that students be at least 18 years of age before receiving their first guide dog.
CB: How many teams have you graduated since inception and how many teams graduate per year?
Daryl: Since our inception in 1948, Guide Dogs of America has graduated over 3,000 teams, and by the end of this year, we will have graduated 54 Guide Dog Teams in 2011.
CB: How long is the training process for the person/guide dog from pairing to graduation?
Daryl: The training period for first time students is 28 days and 21 days for those who previously had a guide dog companion.
CB: Are their teams in every state or are they localized?
Daryl: Currently, Guide Dogs of America has working teams in 31 states and two provinces in Canada.
CB: What makes a successful guide dog/human team?
Daryl: In a successful guide dog team, the dog and handler work together to get from place to place. The guide dog doesn't know where the destination is, so it must follow the student's instructions on how far to go and when to turn. The student cannot see the obstacles along the way, so the guide dog must make its own decisions as to how to navigate the team's path. Each half of the team relies on the other to accomplish the tasks at hand.
CB: How does someone get a dog?
Daryl: For a person to be eligible for our program, they must be legally blind. An individual who is legally blind has a visual acuity of 20/200 in the better eye with the best correction, or a visual field of no more than 20 degrees. Students must also have completed orientation and mobility training. While our program is offered at no cost to students from all over the United States and Canada, we do ask that graduates have the financial ability to provide necessary food and medical care for a guide dog, as well as a stable home environment. In addition to providing free travel to and from the school, we also cover the cost of housing our students in our on-site dormitory.
CB: Do the people who receive dogs use treats?
Daryl: While a dog is in formal training, we only use praise and positive reinforcement to train our dogs. This is because we do not want them to become food-distracted. However, many of our dogs, once they graduate, receive treats from their blind or visually impaired companions. In addition, until the dogs come in for formal training their Puppy Raisers often give them treats. Charlee Bears are the treat of choice for almost all of our Puppy Raisers and graduates. Simply because the dogs love them and they are low in calories.
CB: How many of the 370 puppies in training will actually go on to become Guide Dogs.
Daryl: It is important to remember that not all of Guide Dog of America's puppies are able to be guide dogs. Unfortunately, approximately 40% are removed from the program due to problems with health or temperament, e.g. allergies, hip or elbow dysplasia, overly friendly, cat or other dog distractions, etc. These problems can develop even after the dog has entered formal guide dog training. While it is tremendously disappointing for all to remove dogs from the program, the safety and well-being of the students is first and foremost.
Daryl agrees that both the guide dog puppy raisers and the guide dogs will be excited and happy with their Charlee Bear Dog Treats. We here at Charlee Bear are happy and excited that our treats can be part of the great work that Guide Dogs of American is doing.

Using Bento to Manage Your Whisky Collection
Filemaker has discontinued Bento. It was a great little piece of software and I'm not happy about it.
- Adam
Posted January 2015
UPDATE JANUARY 2016: I was able to migrate all my old data to the app TapForms, and was recommending that as an interim solution. But apparently TapForms no longer allows Bento templates to be imported. I've found that TapForms is not very well built and hard to rely on, but it's better than nothing. Please email if you know of any decent and simple databases.

Answer: Since the mid 1800s. Henry William Ravenal of Aiken, SC, is credited as the first commercial grower to ship peaches outside the state in the 1850's. Beginning in the late 1800's, peaches were shipped by rail car in insulated cars kept cool with large blocks of ice. Most commercial packing sheds during this time were built next to the railroad to facilitate out-of-state shipping. In 1935, there were 233 packing houses and over three million peach trees in Spartanburg county alone.

CALLER: Hey, Rush. Mega dittos from a USC grad in Columbia. I just wanted to talk about a little bit about what I saw around the debate yesterday.
RUSH: Yeah?
CALLER: I noticed for the last couple of months or ever since the Democrats took over Congress, they've been pounding it down our threats that the base is not energized, and it's just a matter of time until they sweep into the White House, you know, and they have a ticker tape parade in New York and take over the country. But from what I saw in Columbia, the Republican base is very energized, and they're looking for somebody to lead them. There is thousands of people out --
RUSH: Let me tell you, this business about the Republican base not being energized? Let me give you two words: Hillary Clinton. If you want to energetize the Republican base, make her the Democrat Party nominee. I guarantee you, the Republican base is going to be energized; I will see to it. It's going to happen. It's just hard to get it now. All this energy now would be wasted. People don't have that much they can spread out over 500 days, or longer. You've got your anecdotal evidence of stories from what happened inside the hall last night in South Carolina, but believe me, there's going to be passion about this. If anything, if anybody is having trouble out there, and I got a couple stories we'll get to today, the Democrats are having some trouble. Looking at the congressional approval number. I know Roger talked with you about this yesterday. The approval for Congress is beneath Bush. It's at like 29%. Bush is polling steady at 33% out there. Now, why do you think that is? By the way, the Iraq funding bill failed. "The Senate today rejected legislation that would cut off money for combat operations in Iraq after March 31st of next year, less than a year from now. The vote was a loss for Senator Feingold..." this is an AP story, "...and other Democrats who wanted to end the war. But the effort picked up support from members, including presidential hopefuls previously..." Picked up support? It went down to defeat 67-29! It picked up support?
Only the Drive-By Media could look at it and see it that way. They say it picked up support because Mrs. Bill Clinton -- a presidential front-runner, it says here -- "previously opposed setting a deadline, but she said that she agreed to back the measure because 'we, as a united party, must work together with the clarity of purpose and mission to begin bringing our troops home and end this war.'" And then, of course, Barack Obama, another leading 2008 prospect, it says here, said "he would prefer a plan that offers more flexibility but wanted to send a strong statement to the Iraqi government." These people were allowed to vote for this because there was no danger that their votes would count. The Democrats are not going to pull out of Iraq, folks. If they win the White House, as I have said countless times, they're not going to do it. They will not pull out of there, and they will not engineer defeat unless they can hang that around Bush's neck. But they're not going to hang it around their own. Somewhere in that party, there are some adults who are going to keep that from happening. They're not going to pull out of there. Again, if the Democrat base -- and we know who they are. It's a bunch of kooks, but they're small. They're thought of to wield far more power than they do because the elected Democrats listen to them and the Drive-By Media is fascinated by them, and their world view is that that's the only action in town: what's happening in the Democrat Party among their base.
There's no legitimacy to the Republicans, just in the world view of the Drive-By Media and the American left. So that's why their attitude about Republicans and the base, eh, they thought the Republican base was a bunch of idiots and kooks, but probably the Republican base is not going to vote because Jerry Falwell died. I mean, they have the screwiest view of Republicans. They still have not taken the time to learn who conservatives are, what they are and what they really think,because they don't think it's legitimate in the first place. But I'll tell you what, they're running around telling us the American people want us out of Iraq. Here's a chance! De-fund 'em. Bring the troops home next March. It goes down to defeat 67-29, and they try to tell us that that election last November was about the will of the people, about their desire to get out of Iraq? Don't be fooled. Hillary and Obama, they're just voting on this bill to shore up their credentials with the kooks in the Democrat base, but they didn't have a chance of actually being held accountable because they knew the bill wasn't going to pass. The last thing Mrs. Clinton wants --- and I'll guarantee you, the last thing Mrs. Clinton wants, Obama may not care, but the last thing Mrs. Clinton wants -- is for that bill yesterday to win with her voting for it. That would be death for her, and this vote proves where the American people are on this whole notion of defeat and losing the war in Iraq.

Anderson Creates Biodiesel to Beat the Price at the Pump
Albion College student Shawn Anderson is happily cruising the roads in his Volkswagen while many of us grumble about gas prices that continue to average more than $2.80 per gallon.
That's because the junior whose parents reside on farmland in Parma Township creates biodiesel fuel for his automobile and the farm equipment out of the vegetable oil that some restaurants in Albion leave out for disposal. Anderson estimates that the gas he's making costs about $1-$1.10 per gallon when you factor in the cost of road taxes, and the money he saves comes in handy when making trips for his piano tuning business or visiting friends.
"I couldn't add (the savings) up. Hundreds, thousands probably," Anderson, a political science major who is working on concentrations in environmental studies and the Gerald R. Ford Institute for public Policy and Service and a minor in anthropology and sociology, said. "When diesel was up to $5 a gallon I was cruising all over the state.
"I'm getting about 45 miles a gallon in the summer and in the winter I get about 35-40," he added. "I only fill up once a month and I'm often forced to drive (when I'm going out with friends)."
Anderson said his fuel mileage is the product of an efficient vehicle and his effort to be conscious of his driving. He takes the car out of gear when traveling downhill and avoids sudden accelerations which would cause a rise in RPM that burns more fuel.
That's not to say that Anderson has completely weaned his vehicle off fossil fuel. Biodiesel solidifies in cold temperatures and can gel in the fuel line. He runs a blend of at least 80 percent biodiesel and 20 percent regular diesel when it gets chilly, and the ratio can go up to 50-50 depending on the weather.
The process of creating the fuel begins when Chris Anderson, Shawn's dad who works as a carpenter at the college, collects the oil from the restaurants and disposes of the containers. Shawn, who built the most of the equipment to make biodiesel himself, estimates it takes 6-8 hours to make a 40-gallon batch of biodiesel.
"I bought my processor for $700," Anderson, who says he learned most of the process of creating biodiesel through reading and trial and error, said. "I probably have $1,500 into it all together. You can spend $10,000 if you are buying a unit. We have two 270-gallon tanks that we store fuel in at our house. If you had to buy all that stuff it would add up."
While Anderson reports his fuel runs 75-80 percent cleaner than fossil fuel, he can receive amusing remarks from others when he's on the road.
"When I drive my car it smells like whatever was cooked in the oil," Anderson said. "I've been sitting at the drive thru and the clerk will say something like, 'Somebody is starting to barbeque early' and I have to tell them it's my car. I don't know if it's a downfall. Sometimes it smells really good."
Even after the biodiesel is made, the process of recycling the restaurant oil into new products continues as sodium hydroxide and water can be added to the glycerin by product from the biodiesel to make a soap that is effective in cutting through grease.
"You boil out the methanol and get about seven gallons (of soap) overall per batch and a gallon makes about 20 bars of soap," Anderson said.
"The soap doesn't look the best," Anderson said. "It has a brown color and the bars I have now are not flat, but they are definitely worth it. I've been thinking about making soap in larger amounts to start selling it. I could make more on soap than biodiesel because if I could sell it for $3-4 per bar I'd be looking at $200 per batch."
From a public policy perspective, Anderson sees biodiesel as a step, but not the solution for the United States' dependence of importing fossil fuel.
"The problem is with as much oil as we use we couldn't sustainably make as much biodiesel (to meet the need)," Anderson said. "They are working with algae-based biodiesel and that's more feasible. You can have algae farms on open land in the southwest that's not good a whole lot else. Algae produces oil to help it float on top of water and you can extract that oil."

Prince Hit With $500,000 Tax Bill
Pop superstar Prince is in trouble with U.S. tax officials after allegedly failing to hand over nearly half a million dollars in payments.
Officials in the star's hometown of Minneapolis, Minnesota claim Prince and his PRN Music Corp. owe almost $500,000 in taxes, fines and interest relating to more than a dozen of the singer's properties in the area.
The Purple Rain hit-maker has been named in a list of delinquent tax payers by officials in Carver County, relating to missed payments from last year. The list was published in the Chaska Herald newspaper.
Taxpayer services manager for Carver County, Laurie Engelen, claims the star was sent a letter on February 15th notifying him of the alleged outstanding debt - but they have yet to receive a response.
Prince has until May to pay up before officials take the matter to court.

text: I had to go to the UK for my paying job for the past 5 days. I planned ahead and brought a couple of my of my Blues Bowls with me. I had a friend I had met almost two years ago that lived in the area and he said he'd come up and meet me for supper one night and he was interested in one of the instruments. Well, here we are after a long visit where we solved most of the world's problems and definitely improved American / United Kingdom relations. Mike Laverick's a great guy and I thoroughly enjoyed the conversation. He took both of these Blues Bowls home with him. I hope he gets as much fun out of playing them as I did making them.

Lineage II
|Lineage II
Tencent Holdings for China
Innova Co. S.a.r.l. for Russia, CIS, Georgia and EU
|Unreal Engine 2.5
|Microsoft Windows
|Release date(s)
Lineage II is a massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) for Microsoft Windows, the second game in the Lineage series. It is a prequel to Lineage, and is set 150 years before the earlier game.[1] It has become very popular since its October 1, 2003 launch in South Korea, reporting 1,000,918 unique users during the month of March 2007. To date, the game has been played by more than 14 million users, mostly based in Asia.[2]
On November 30, 2011 Lineage II adopted a free-to-play model in Lineage II: Goddess of Destruction, with all game content being free save for "purchasable in-game store items and packs".[3]
Basic gameplay[edit]
To begin playing Lineage II, players create a character as their avatar in the game's medieval-style virtual world. All the races start at the temple of their race (Example: Humans start at "Talking Island" and the dark elves at "The Shilen Temple") . Players can choose from either fighter or mystic professions at the start, except for Dwarves and Kamael which are only able to select the fighter profession; this choice acts as an archetype for later profession options. Each race has its own set of classes, even if humans, elves and dark elves have a lot of classes that are very similar to their counterparts in the other two races.
As players kill non-player character (NPC) monsters, they accumulate experience points and skill points (SP). As experience points accumulate, the character's level increases, meaning various attributes of the character are augmented. Players purchase and then upgrade their character's skills using SP. Players can play alone or as part of a group to fight monsters and complete quests for new skills, experience points, and items. Player versus player (PvP) is a significant portion of the game. The game provides many social, political, and economic aspects which are developed through the community and by the actions, in-game, of single players. Lineage II features siege warfare like the original. To make sure PvP stays under control, the design includes a Karma system that provides negative consequences for killing other players when they are not fighting back. When being in a chaotic state (karma number higher than zero) with a PK count of 5 or more, players have a high probability of dropping items after being killed.
Classes and Sub/Dual Classes[edit]
There is currently a large number of classes (36) for all races combined. Each race and subsequent class has a set amount of Stat Points already assigned to their class.
Upon completing the quest after reaching level 85, a player may add subclass to their character. This subclass starts at level 40. Limitations are put in place on which subclass one can choose (e.g. Dark Elves may not choose Elf subclasses. In addition, a player may not choose a class that matches their main class (a Dark Avenger may not become a Paladin, likewise a Treasure Hunter may not become a Plains Walker). Once a subclass has reached level 75, players may choose another. A character may hold a total of three subclasses in addition to their main class.
Upon completing the quests after reaching level 80, a player may add one dual class to their character (Dual class can be leveled to 99).
Heroes are Noblesse characters who have accumulated the most points for their class during competition in the Grand Olympiad while having a minimum of fifteen matches with at least one win. There can only be one Hero per class for a maximum of 36 Heroes at any time. Competing players are limited to their character's main class. Heroes are able to choose one of the Hero class weapons and receive Hero only abilities; in addition, they may speak globally to the entire server. They also receive a glowing aura so that they stand out against other characters.
In Lineage II, a player can obtain a monster that becomes his or her pet through the completion of quests. Unlike other summons or magic, as long as certain conditions are met, a pet will not be bound by time limitations, nor will it be dismissed by force. These pets can also hold most items in their inventories while they are called, including pet weapons and armor that can be equipped on the pet.
The game follows a fictional history through sets of plots called "Sagas". There are currently two sagas: "The Chaotic Chronicle" and "The Chaotic Throne". Large-scale updates/expansions known as "Chronicles" are done every six months, which introduce new story elements as well as new features and add-ons. Each chronicle also adds a great deal of new content to the game, including new skills, quests, areas and items; some chronicles also increased the level cap.
Characters act as a player's avatar within the game. Players are afforded up to 7 characters per account. There are currently seven races in the world of Lineage II: the Humans, who are similar to modern-day humans and who have all-around balanced characteristics; the Elves, who have superior dexterity, movement, and casting speed, but weaker offense; Dark Elves, who have higher magic and melee attack capabilities; Orcs, who have higher HP and MP but slower movement; Dwarves, who are powerful melee attackers and master craftsmen; Kamael, who are humanoids with single wings and gender-specific job classes; Ertheia - female-only humanoids with two completely unique classes, such as close-combat wizards and fist-blade fighters different from orchish ones.[4]
Hyeong-Jin Kim, the Production team head for Lineage II, came up with basic concept for the game in early 2000, and development began in October to November of the same year.[1][5] Kim and producer James Bae have stated that their reasons for developing a prequel for Lineage rather than a sequel is that "Lineage will continue to be updated as a game", and that "by working on its past, we will not be risking conflict with the direction of updates that Lineage will take in the future."[1]
According to Kim and Bae, the game's initial subtitle, "The Chaotic Chronicle", was developed with the intention to "express the large-scale war, strategies, conflicts, and collaborations that we hope to encourage among players."[1]
Lead Game Designer Raoul Kim said that the reason for rendering Lineage II in 3D was "simply because most games today are [also] using 3D graphics", and because they deemed it "more appropriate than 2D for the things that we were going to create." Developers chose to utilize the Unreal Engine 2 game engine because of its capacity to render outdoor scenes and its powerful editing features.[1][6]
According to Game Design team head, Cheol-Woong Hwang, there were different concepts for each of the race's home villages. He described the concept for the human village in Talking Island as "ordinary", while the Elven Village was designed "so as not to lose the natural and royal high-class feeling." They designed the Dark Elven village based on a "grotesque and serious feeling in order to express the rough history of these who had been expelled from the Elves."[7]

NCsoft & AsianMedia[edit]
Lineage II – South-East Asia or simply L2-SEA is NCsoft's first "Publishing License" grant for their flagship game to a completely independent company. NCsoft granted a distribution license to AsianMedia for ArenaNet's Guild Wars for the Philippines. AsianMedia has been licensed to distribute, publish, and operate Lineage II. NCsoft's licensing grant initially limits AsianMedia licensing to three countries namely, the Philippines, Singapore, and Malaysia.
On December 22, 2009 It was announced that the contract between NCsoft and AsianMedia was not renewed. All players in L2SEA are now notified and given 30 days before AsianMedia closes down on all servers in L2SEA.[8]
The overall reception for Lineage II is mixed, receiving average review scores from various video game rating websites. Scott Stahl of the The Daily Orange praised the game's graphics and design, though he also mentioned that the game "quickly degrades into an incredibly tedious and monotonous process of killing the same monster a thousand different times", and that the character creation options are "incredibly shallow, with maybe two or three different faces and hair styles for each type of character." Andrew Park of GameSpot said that the game "offers either a repetitive grind or a stiff challenge", and is not suitable for casual gamers who can only play an hour or less per day.[11] Allen 'Delsyn' Rausch called the Kamael "an interesting race in that, unlike other Lineage II races, they focus specifically on the warrior path with high-level class paths segregated by gender."[14]
The Chronicle 5: Oath of Blood expansion won the Expansion of the Year award at Stratics Central Editor's Choice Awards 2006,[15] and Lineage II earned an Honorable Mention for the Game of the Year award.[16]
On November 8, 2011, NCsoft officially announced Lineage Eternal as the sequel to Lineage I.[17] The first gameplay videos debuted at the G-Star 2011 gaming convention in South Korea on November 10, 2011.[18]
Lineage II is one of the MMOs that were subject to ethnographic study in Constance Steinkuehler and Dmitri Williams's article, 'Where Everybody Knows Your (Screen) Name: Online Games as Third Place'.[19] The authors used the game to try to "explicate the kinds of social and intellectual activities in which gamers routinely participate, including individual and collaborative problem solving, identity construction, apprenticeship, and literacy practices" (888). The Lineage series, along with Asheron's Call series, were selected to represent successful MMO franchise, and the two franchise were used to demonstrate the MMO's capacity to act as a "third place", where individuals can gather to socialize informally beyond the workplace and home (p. 889). The authors conclude from their findings that MMO's are a new kind of "third place", but as players become more hardcore and more involved, they no longer function as a "third place".[20]

Word and Number Games Played in Fiscal Showdown
George E. Curry | 12/12/2012, 12:07 p.m.
"There are tens of billions in new fees and surcharges and increased premiums in Medicare alone. Table S-10 of the revised fiscal 2013 budget proposal outlines numerous other new and higher fees under the section titled 'Mandatory Initiatives and Savings.'"
Amid the word and numbers games, the public is clear about what should be done, even if Washington isn't.
A Gallup poll in November found, "Forty-five percent of Americans now say they favor reducing the federal budget deficit with an equal balance of tax increases and spending cuts, up from 32% last year. At the same time, the percentage favoring an emphasis on spending cuts is now 40%, down from 50% last year, while the percentage in favor of reducing the deficit primarily through tax increases is unchanged at 11%."
A Washington Post-Pew Research Center poll conducted Nov. 29-Dec. 2 found that a majority of Americans -53 percent - would blame Republicans in Congress if Washington fails to reach a deal in deficit talks to avoid the fiscal cliff.
The survey found that only 27 percent would fault President Obama would if negotiations between the executive and legislative branches of government fail, 12 percent would split the blame equally between the two sides and 2 percent have no opinion.
Like Ronald Regan, this could be Obama's "make my day" moment.

Port St. Joe
We have finally settled on a destination for our fall family vacation. The previous posts about locations were made at a time of desperation before a trip that was cancelled at the last minute.
Now that we have things straightened out I am starting to get geared up to go. Paula helped with the flies and what materials I needed along with a bloody demonstration of how to tie one.
There are now about 2 doz. flies between 4 patterns
The main question in this thread would be how to fish the flies in saltwater.
The majority of my fishing will be from the beach while wading in only a couple of feet. Paula mentioned using a floating line which I have, but what stripping method should I use?
Am I trying to move the fly fast to get a reaction bite, or do I have to finesse the fly?
Do you cast parallel with the waves and fish in between them, or are you casting straight out from the beach?
I tied some copperheads in gold, chartruese/white and Red/white clousers and another fly that Byron recommended. All the flies have bead eyes and are on a 1/0 or 1 size hook.
Any help would be appreciated.
As far as stripping methods, a (strip,pause,strip,pause) method works just about all the time. Try using this method in various speeds and stripping lengths until you find what works. When wading in the surf, fan casting is a good way to cover some ground if you are not sight casting. Look for cuts (channels) in the sandbar formed by rips (rip currents) that hold fish. You can spot the rips by watching where the waves break and where they dont break, and other various ways such as choppy or foamy water. Dont stand in the rip though! Fish the troughs of the sandbar also.
TA-- Thanks for the help. I am going to try and find some of Lefty's casting video's on Youtube and see if I can pick up any pointers.
As far as camping goes we are looking at the TH Stone state park which is more on the bay side.
Does anyone know if the fishing is good all along the bay or is it better by the inlet that cuts into the backside of the peninsula?
Has anyone been to this park before? It seems like a fantastic spot to camp, and I am curious to what other people think.
We will most likely be going in Oct. either the 2nd or 3rd week. The crowds should be gone and the weather should be a little cooler.
Hopefully the fish will be hungry!
i am glad you started this thread i have been looking at the same campground for a possible fall or early spring trip. any info would be appreciated.
All first-class fishermen on the Sea of Galilee were fly-fishermen and John the favorite was a dry-fly fisherman. Norman Maclean
I'm sorry I couldn't get away from the meeting to help you the other day. The Sand Shrimp pattern that Paula showed you has worked very well for us at Port St. Joe. As far as presentation goes you should try different stripping speeds and pauses. We were fishing with our friend and guide Gary Taylor on the point of Cape San Blas. The water was crystal clear. There was a huge school of redfish near the bank. Gary said he has trouble catching the reds there. The fish would follow the Sand Shrimp then turn off. Just for the heck of it when one turned off the fly I sped up the retrieve. The fish turned back on the fly. When he came up on it again I started stripping fast. He slammed the fly. We did this over and over and it worked every time. The lesson learned is when fish turn away from your fly, change your retrieve. On the other hand, I've had saltwater fish, many different species, take the sand shrimp when I was using a slow retrieve. The real name for that fly is the FC Sand Shrimp. The FC stands for Feather-Craft. The shop's founder, Ed Storey recommends that fly specifically for Port St. Joe. He told me he didn't come up with the pattern but uses it often. It has worked for us all over the Florida Panhandle. I even caught a big Sheephead on one. They say that is almost impossible. He ran about three feet to eat it. Have fun.
I forgot to tell you about the park. There is a long underwater shoal that you will see about 1/2 mile from the marina. You can wade out pretty far there and still be in shallow water. Also, facing the marina from the water to the left is some great wading water. All along the bay side of the park is excellent wading. But like I told you, shuffle your feet or you run the risk of stepping on a ray. Slide your feet along and they will get out of your way. I won't wade deep there any more. You will see other people do it. They don't know what is out there. The bay is full of huge bull sharks. However, Paula and I have snorkled in 6 foot deep water gathering scallops. I think the fishing will be better for you at the point of Cape San Blas and on the bay side. Fly fishing in the surf has been hard for me but I have not given it much of a chance. The park is beautiful and the beach on both sides is one of the finest you will ever see. You might want to rent a kayak for a day and try that.
Thanks for the help.
We are looking forward to the trip more than any other vacation we have taken before.
How many flies do you think I should make before going.
I have about
10 fc sand shrimp
9 chartreuse (sp) clousers
6 red clousers
9 gold colored flies that Paula recommend ( name escapes me)
I don't know how much fishing I will get to do since the kids are with us and we are camping at a new place. If all goes well we will spend the majority of our time on the beach near the campground on the bay side.
Thanks again for the help!
You should be in good shape but you never know. Always better to have too many flies (sales pitch). The gold flies are called Copperheads. They work just as good as a spoonfly but are much easier to tie. I would use them if you encounter some dirty water. I have caught speckled trout, lady fish, Spanish Macs and other species on them in clear water. One thing you might want to add to the list is some poppers since you have plenty of time. I can show you how to make them. You also might want to buy a couple of Todd's Wiggle Minnows. I haven't learned how to make those yet. I make Crease Flies and they work well. Poppers are essential for fishing for tailing redfish on oyster beds. Everything else get's caught in the oysters. You won't see any oyster beds in Port St. Joe but if you venture over to St. Vincent Island and Indian Pass there are plenty. I always have some Puglisi Pinfish too. They are a lot of trouble to tie and you might want to wait until your next trip to learn to tie those.
My wife is getting a little mad at me for buying soooooo much tying supplies. I on the other hand love tying new flies and getting new materials is like Christmas morning.
Another question that I have is, what do I do with my leader/tippet.
I have a tapered leader on their now, but do I need a shock leader.
I more than likely will be only fishing from the beach. I have 10, 12 and 20 lb line to add on my tippet if needed.
What else should I have?
Thanks for the help so far. It makes October seem so far away and I will be drooling once September roll around.

Nothing says comfort food like a hearty bowl full of stew. Follow our steps and you will be well on your way to mastering these one-bowl wonders.
Foolproof Stew Making
Stew making is comfort-food alchemy: Bites of meat—usually taken from tough, sinewy muscles—cook low and slow with hearty veggies, bubbling away until flavors meld and the meat loosens and gains buttery texture. The technique is straightforward, but the cook needs to avoid simple mistakes that often come from speeding the process—boiling rather than simmering, or skimping on the first steps that build deep flavor. Read on for foolproof tips and healthy stew recipes.
View Recipe: Italian Beef Stew
Recipe Tip: Tough cuts of meat that lend themselves to stews tend to be fatty, so you need to trim them well for healthy results.

Nordic Galley Bakeri
o Address: 7402 S.W. 34th Ave. No. 3
o Phone: 806-358-0008
o Hours: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday; lunch is served at 11:30 a.m.
o Owners: Joni and Chris Prater
o Fare: Rotating menu of Scandinavian family recipes and baked goods
o Popular dishes: Cinnamon rolls, cheesecake, chicken pot pie, and salmon and potato soup
o Price range: $1 to $7; custom-order desserts run higher
o Payment options: Cash, credit and debit
The name might sound foreign, but the food at Nordic Galley Bakeri tastes like home.
Because of Joni Prater's mother and grandmother, Joni and husband Chris have been serving up an assortment of Scandinavian recipes ranging from pot pies to cinnamon rolls for a year and a half.
"I've been baking since I was 4 with my mom and grandmother," Joni Prater said. "This was a way to honor them after their passing. I even have 'Mange Takk Mor' on my business cards, which is Norwegian for 'Thank you, Mom.'"
Although the recipes, which are cooked fresh daily, originate from another country, customers only taste one difference — the quality.
"It's very wholesome, good-quality food, and it's all made from scratch. I think people who come in really like the food because they can tell it's not frozen or leftovers; it's all fresh," Chris Prater said. "I think ours is a unique venue and people tend to enjoy it."
Pat Schroder, who was trying out the restaurant for the first time with her friend Jeanelle Saylor, was pleased with her friend's recommendation.
"This is great, and I will be back," she said. "This chicken pot pie is the best I've ever eaten. However they made this, I like it!"
"I have been here about three times and everything I have had is delicious and it tastes homemade," Saylor said. Everything is so good, I don't know if I could pick a favorite. I guess I would have to say everything I've had so far."
The menu at the bakery rotates daily and then seasonally twice a year.
