Now I have an idea for a campaign, and all I need is a group of willing and active players.
The stage is set in a small riverside town. In this adventure the heroes will experience danger, excitement, thrills, betrayal, and possibly death as the try to find out who is responsible for multiple assassinations throughout the town.
A level 1 Bard, Cleric, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, Wizard, or Sorcerer.
A 20 point ability buy
Please post if you're interested in playing. Thanks!

Are those the available classes or mandatory classes?Will traits be used?
What level does it start at?
What is the starting wealth?
Those are the only classes I would like you to pick from, but if you really want to play something else, there's no harm in asking.Traits will be used.
It starts al level 1, and will go on however long people keep playing. In other words, I have no plans for an ending, unless there is a TPK (Highly unlikely).
The starting wealth is the standard 150 gp. If you pick the "Rich Parents" trait, that will change for you.
So, are you interested in playing?

I'll be accepting: Dud Muffin (Daven Treadwell)
2goth4U (Festric Copperscale)
Haldhin (Who still needs to make a Cleric)
BltzKrg242 (Who needs a Rogue)
Limeylongears (Who needs a Bard)
I can make a second group, starting off exactly the same if you want. This is because I know how hard it is to get on one of these campaigns, and I don't want any of you to feel rejected.
This would have: Mr Swagger (Cleric)
AJCarrington (Fighter)
Jarred Henninger (Ranger)
Arknight (Ranger)
Please respond if you would like there to be a 2nd campaign. That would be Mr. Swagger, AJCarrington, Jarred Henninger, and Arknight.
I would love there to be a 2nd campaign. :)
My concept is for a half-orc (with the pass for human feat) who grew up on a farm near the village. He pretends to be less intelligent than he really is, so he appears to be this big hulking brute. However, he's truly skilled and friendly to those that take the extra time to get to know him.
|Touchstone Quick
May I join in your second party? This alias is a dwarven rogue (burglar) with a focus on creative problem solving. His parents fell ill and were unable to provide for his family, so he turned to thievery, but was quickly discovered and banished from his tribe.
I'm currently GMing several games on the forums, but haven't been able to join a game to play. I can post at least once every day, usually 2-3.

Good backstory... An active guy...You're locked in!
|Connor McGinnis
seems the recruitment opened and closed with hours.
I would like to consider making a character unless we are closed already.
Sorry, but we're now closed. I didn't think this many people would be interested, and I don't want to manage a third group. Good luck on trying to find another one!
|Sturk the Axe
|Connor McGinnis
Great... After Haldhin gives his character a name, we'll be all set.
Daven Treadwell (Dud Muffin), Festric Copperscale (2goth4U), Haldhin, Sturk (Bltzkrg242), and Theriandros (Limeylongears): You can begin the campaign now, posting as your characters. Make sure you always do this while in the campaign thread to avoid confusion.
Example: If Sturk starts posting as Bltzkrg242 that will confuse us all.
Please try to check out the campaign thread at least once a day. I will do the same and that should keep it rolling. I will notify all of you in some way if I will be unavalible for an extended period of time.
We are officially done taking any new members. The recruitment is closed until further notice, though you can still post out of character here.
I will notify our second group where they are to post when we begin the campaign, but everyone in it, save one, needs to come up with names for their characters. Then they will also begin play.

2nd group, you're all good to go. Apparently Jarred Henninger is not going to be joining us after all. He hasn't posted since he threw his interest out there a while back. We can still function with four players, thanks to Jacob/Touchstone. I'll try to make us a thread to begin play. Please post as your characters, not yourselves, so there is less confusion while in game.

Black Chrome is cheap. I've talked to Dale about it. It's apparently darker black than the Black Rhodium and cheaper too since it's just chrome. Didn't mention the price though, but I would assume since it's chrome it's either the same price as chrome or a slight bit more for whatever they have to do for it to be black chrome. I was definitely told that it was cheaper than the Black Rhodium though.
It's not easy to figure out if they are changing the ports on the customs, but time will tell. I'm sure for consistency they might eventually change to the new port. But we can't be sure just yet. The picture in the brochure seems different than the old shell. I assume this is a glimpse into what the new shape is.

Skill Select' was introduced on the 1st July 2012. Skill Select is a system whereby you express an interest in migrating to Australia permanently and then wait for the DIAC (Department of Immigration and Citizenship) to invite you to apply for a visa. You may review the requirements / format at the following link: http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/. Please note that under this system you will have no control over whether you are invited to apply or not. If you are not invited after 24 months your Expression of Interest (EOI) becomes void.
From the 1st July 60 points will become the threshold pass mark. However, it will be the applicants who obtain 70, 75, 80 points or higher or who are sponsored by a state / territory who are invited to apply. The only way to guarantee your EOI will succeed would be to obtain state / territory sponsorship. You will need to commit to living in the state / territory that sponsors you for two years following the grant of your permanent residency visa.
Skill Select is an independent application and would take up to approximately 6 months following your submission to the DIAC. If you are required to seek an independent visa then you will need to answer the following questions for:
1. The first stage to obtaining an independent permanent residency visa through skill select is to have your skills assessed in an occupation that appears on the current SOL (Skilled Occupation List). You will need to review the following link and tell decide which occupation title most accurately reflects your skills, work experience and qualifications: http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/_pdf/sol-schedule1-2.pdf.
2. Confirm how many years work experience in Australia and overseas you have had in your nominated occupation
3. Have you ever completed an IELTS test? If so, you will need to confirm what score you obtained on each part.
If you are interested to know more about Skill Select and to see if you might be suitable for this approach to get your visa to come to Australia – submit an enquiry form to us via our website.

Affiliated research area: Curriculum Independency, Software Engineering Education
Software Engineering education must account for a broad spectrum of knowledge and skills software engineers will be required to apply throughout their professional life. Covering all the topics in depth within a university setting is infeasible due to curricular constraints as well as due to the inherent differences between educational institutions and the actual workplaces of individual graduates. This paper shows how a flexible simulation environment can link the various topic areas of software engineering in the same way they are interwoven in the daily work of practitioners. The authors report their experience gained in using such an environment in their courses at their different institutions, each one having a very distinct focus. Customization of the environment and respective didactical changes can address students with different maturity levels, educational aims, and backgrounds.
In addition to the Review and Original Articles by invited speakers, we are inviting you to submit a relevant research paper on "Experiences with Integrating Simulation into a Software Engineering Curriculum" for consideration. Papers will be subject to normal peer review and must comply with the Guide for Authors.
To submit papers to the "Experiences with Integrating Simulation into a Software Engineering Curriculum" Special Topic, please go to http://www.cscanada.net. With your submission, please state clearly to the editor that your manuscripts are submitted to the Special Topic "Experiences with Integrating Simulation into a Software Engineering Curriculum".

Some Say NJ Cancer Screening Program Falls Short
By Katie Colaneri, WBGO News
Flemington. October 2, 2012
Governor Christie was on the road today in Hunterdon County, touting state budget increases for cancer screening programs that help low-income residents. But despite the boost in funding, some say the program falls short.
The NJCEED program – which stands for New Jersey Cancer Education and Early Detection – helps residents with little or no insurance get cancer screenings.
Maggie Theys is a clinical counselor at Anderson House in Hunterdon County, a halfway house for women recovering from drug and alcohol abuse. She says for most of the women she works with, it's been a while since they've gotten health screenings, "any mammograms, any physicals for years because they've been out there using."
With the help of NJCEED, they can get the tests they need. But Theys says it's hard to find doctors who'll do follow-up treatment if the results are abnormal.
"Part of early screening is, 'Okay, so now you've found a problem, now what do you do with it?"
She says NJCEED has referred them to free clinics like UMDNJ in Newark, but the program could do more to make sure patients get the treatment they need.

WASHINGTON — The CtW Investment Group here, which is affiliated with the Change to Win union coalition, said it is seeking to tie the pay of Tim Mason, Tesco's top executive in the U.S., to the performance of the company's Fresh & Easy chain. In a letter to Patrick Cescau, the senior independent director at Tesco, CtW said it believes the sales performance at Fresh & Easy, which operates in the Southwestern U.S., has been worse than Tesco has admitted. CtW also called for more ...

A second water main break caused about 3 feet of water to again flood the basement of the Amarillo Civic Center Complex early Friday, according to General Manager Sherman Bass. The city has contracted Blackmon Mooring to assist city workers in extracting the water, he said.
Bass said the new rupture appeared to be in the water main that flooded the building Wednesday evening.
"It's the same line," he said, "but we don't know what caused it."
Director of Utilities Emmet Autrey said about 35 city employees were working at the scene Friday. All the water being pumped out of the basement was new water, said Autrey, as the basement had been completely drained after the first flood.
Officials initially estimated cleanup would be complete between July 7 and 9, but Bass said the second break will delay that date.
"This one was worse than the first flood," Bass said.
Xcel Energy spokesman Wes Reeves said the facility was de-energized on purpose Friday morning for safety reasons. Xcel crews assessed the underground equipment and planned to restore power once the inspection was complete, but Reeves said they will leave the complex without power until city crews run through all of their checks.
"The city will let us know when to turn back on," Reeves said Friday. "Depending on when the city finishes it, could be tonight, but we're ready to go when they are."
All of Xcel's equipment is fine, Reeves said, and the power outage was isolated to the Civic Center buildings and did not affect neighboring customers.
Autrey said the total amount of water that filled the basement of the building is still unknown, but the two incidents shouldn't affect any other customers in Amarillo. Officials also said there is no concern about water quality.
"The water is safe," said Floyd Hartman, assistant director of utilities.
The breaks left several areas of the complex drenched, including Cal Farley Coliseum, the orchestra pit, Civic Center storage rooms, and coaches' offices and storage rooms for the Amarillo Bulls and the Amarillo Venom.
While no events were canceled after the first break, Bass said an event scheduled Saturday had been canceled because of no electricity to set up. The Diocesan Junior High Youth Conference was moved out of the Civic Center to St. Thomas Catholic Church, 4100 S. Coulter St.
No other events are scheduled until next week, and Bass said they will wait until then to determine if more events will be relocated, rescheduled or canceled.
Bass added that actual cleanup of the bottom floor can't be completed until the water has been extracted and workers can safely enter the area.
The first rupture occurred about 9 p.m. Wednesday night when water flowed between five and 15 minutes before it was stopped.
Water flooded the basement of the complex, covering an estimated 76,000 square feet of the basement in about 18 inches of water and flooding two elevator shafts.
The arena turf used by the Venom sustained damage in the first incident, owner and general manager Stephanie Tucker said, but after the second flood, it may be ruined.
"Our turf was floating in about 3 feet of water," Tucker said.
Hockey equipment and uniforms used by the Bulls were also damaged, said Denis J. Puska, team director of broadcast and communications. Members of the Bulls were able to enter their offices and storage rooms Thursday to move items to dry areas, but said they didn't expect a second flood.
Many things were placed in areas where they were most likely ruined in Friday's flood. Those items included pictures, awards, trophies and plaques, Bulls assistant coach Austin Sutter said.
"It was tough," Sutter said. "We've had a pretty rich history there in the past four years."

Main Forums > I Just Tested Poz
recently found out
<< < (3/7) > >>
Hey Elkan!I teste positive when I was 27. It was 1993, and all the people who went to the clubs with me were dropping like flies. Dropping literally dead. I have no idea, and only a few reasonable guesses why I survived that, survived until 1996 and the "miracle drugs." And I have no real concept why I survived THEM, as the first generation(s) of those drugs were basically field-tested on patients.But here I am, with mostly internal scars, and on ongoing sense of bafflement about the whole thing. I am saying this as a preface, and it's not a pronouncement I make lightly - or would have made at all, as recently as five or six years ago.You are going to be fine.You will get labs done, get your numbers, get a lot of blood drawn, and then you will wait. Maybe you will need to (or opt to) get on meds now. Maybe you will wait. We have a handful of one pill-a-day combinations, with more looming. Hell, in five years we will likely have pill-a-week, or injection every two weeks (Google Humira for an example.) And by then, a working "cure" might be the next step.Even if science comes to a crashing halt RIGHT NOW* -- you are still going to be OK.*note. science is not coming to a crashing halt.I know that this is tough, this is scary, and the learning curve is temporarily perpendicular. But you can do this. It's no longer baffling why people survive - it's becoming baffling when people diagnosed NOW do not. Throw away all the outdated, obsolete bullshit you have read about HIV.Read the LESSONS here on this site. First rate, readable, and well written. Also painstakingly researched.I am not going to say stupid stuff like "don't be scared" and "don't be nervous." HIV is serious shit. But so are a lot of things. You probably do fifty brave things every day without thinking twice about them. You get into a car and drive/ride. You go somewhere public. You/I/we/us, we live on what amounts to an inconsequential planet, orbiting a middle-aged star in a tangential cusp or the arm of one of several loops around one of many million galaxies.Yet we are here. YOU are here.And you will be OK. More importantly, the days you do not feel OK, you will not be truly alone. You've got a treasure chest on this forum full of people who have been (or are) where you have been, who will offer wisdom, advice, strength, hope, and usually at least a little snark to put it all in perspective. PLEASE use this place as the resource that it is. Please listen to the people who offer opinions. Even the prickly ones (and I have been counted among that number.) Often times it's the crusty old battle-axes who will provide the best help. I do not consider myself a battle-axe, however. So none of that.There are good people here. And I am certain there are good people where you are as well. We will get through this together.
Hey,I've been reading your reply again and again, try to understand everything you say. It is truly a bliss for me to have found this site and got all these positive replies from all these kind souls. I went to the clinic today, I didn't have the chance to see the doctor though. But i had a discussion with the nurse, basically asked her some of the basic things (like medication coverage, side effects of medicine and etc.). She is nice and I feel like I am in good hands. so i got blood drawn today and awaiting for the results to come back in about two weeks time; hopefully i will not need to be on medication just yet. and yeah, good news is that i think i can get my medication covered by my university insurance plan.I guess I still need some time for me to get back to normal lifestyle so i expect myself will be emotional once awhile. but I really hope and I am really happy that I can go through all these with you guys. I will keep updated here.Somehow, it really feels like a rebirth. ???
--- Quote from: gadawg1979 on April 20, 2013, 01:20:01 AM ---Just over a year in here. Hold on its a wild ride to start but once you get things in line it settles.--- End quote ---yeah!! I think I am getting better and better. it's been three weeks since then.
A person diagnosed today, after a recent infection, and in a situation with access to medical care and treatment, is pretty much expected to live a "normal" life span. The information you took from the Nurse, about "20 years is common" is INCOMPLETE and does NOT apply to you. You should expect and plan that HIV will not cut short your reasonable lifespan.
Hi Elkan,I'm one of the old battle-axes (not crusty) here.(btw great post jk)30+ years poz (at age 23).One thing to keep in mind when reading about others health issues here.Everyone is different in SO many ways... genetics, age, how long they had been infected (without the life saving meds available), mental health, good or bad health habits, etc., etc.Also, med side effects can vary but the med options keep growing.The majority do well with little or no side effects.It may seem like a high percentage have issues with the meds after reading some of the threads here but remember that those who aren't having med side effects (the vast majority) won't be heard from often or at all on the topic.As for being emotional...It's part of being human.I think you have already witnessed a tablespoon of the bowl full of support available here.It's a BIG bowl. :)Sounds like you feel comfortable with your health care providers.Great to hear!!Welcome! :)m.

Tie dye is totally cool, and it's fun, but it's messy and time consuming and requires quite a few steps. With tie dye you need to have hot water, a separate tub for each color if using Rit dye, and heat setting is required. Making tie dye shirts with multiple colors requires squirt bottles with separate colors and oh boy, what a mess! I assure you, the shirts you see pictured here were created with far less mess and didn't require anything special. No rubber bands, no hot water, they don't even require heat setting! All you need is the paint.
Several years ago, back in 2001, I wrote an article on how to make easy tie dye shirts using Rit dyes. They are easy, but messy. And if you are looking for a way to make tie dyed shirts with a group of kids, like for summer camp, then you are going to need a lot of tubs and dye. They will require heat setting and the kids won't be able to wear their shirts until they are set and dry. However, the method I'm about to show you will produce a totally cool and colorful tie dye looking shirt in about 10 minutes and they only require 30 minutes of hanging dry time! Ready to get started?
Late last summer I received a Spray on Fabric Paint Kit from Simply Spray Fabric Paints. As time has a habit of doing, it got away from me. The kit sat on the shelf for months waiting patiently for me to try it out. I even stashed a couple of white t-shirts with the intentions of using the kit and giving it a go.
Recently I was wearing a white shirt and got a grease stain on it, right in the front. Gah! Instead of turning it into a dusting rag, I thought I would go ahead and give these paints a whirl. Needless to say I actually had a lot of fun and love my new shirt! Mine is pictured above, I wore it yesterday, 40 minutes after painting it. :)
I've seen these paints at Michael's, so look for them next time you hit the craft store!
Start by placing an old towel, shower curtain, or dollar store tablecloth on the grass. Twist the shirt and lay it onto the covered surface.
Shake the can and spray. To avoid that "overspray" spotted look, begin spraying on the towel and hold the trigger down moving over the shirt. Keep holding the trigger and don't release until you are off the shirt again and on the towel. This way any overspray affect will be on the towel instead of your shirt.
Turn the twisted shirt over and spray with a different color. I did the first side orange, then yellow on the other side.
You can twist sections of the shirt instead of the whole thing. In this step, I opened the shirt and grabbed areas of the shirt and twisted just that area.
Keep opening the shirt up to see your progress. You'll actually be quite surprised at how much white is still showing! Here I used the "scrunch method". Simply wad the shirt up as if it were a piece of paper you were throwing away. Scrunch it with your fingers, then spray. Spray with one or several colors. Experiment!
You can see I scrunched here and sprayed with 3 different colors.
Now open up the shirt and put it on a hanger. Let it air dry for 30 minutes.
To create the patchwork look, fold the shirt up into a square. Spray.
Turn over and spray with a different color. Open, fold, spray, open, fold, spray. Just keep going until you've covered the entire shirt!
Hang for 30 minutes. You'll want to wait 72 hours before washing your painted shirts.
There. Wasn't that easy?? The paint does get all over your hands, but it washes right off with soap and water. I did notice that it stained my fingernails. I had nail polish on, so I'm not sure if that was the reason, but after my shower the paint was all gone from my fingernails.
This would be a great way to do a lot of shirts at once. The package says the kit can make over 24 shirts, though I would assume that's with using light coats of paint. I would say the way I used them it would be more like 8-10 shirts. A perfect summer camp project!

Albumin infusion improves outcomes of patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, reports the latest issue of the Clinical Gastroenteorlogy & Hepatology.
Renal impairment increases mortality among patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis, despite administration of non-nephrotoxic antibiotics.
Albumin infusion has been reported to reduce renal impairment and mortality in patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis .
Dr Francesco Salerno and colleagues performed a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials to quantify the effect of albumin infusion on renal impairment and mortality in patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
The team searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.gov for randomized controlled trials that evaluated albumin treatment for patients with spontaneous bacterial peritonitis.
The team also performed searches by additional methods.
The research team included 4 trials of 288 total patients.
Data were quantitatively combined under a fixed-effects model.
The dotcors noted that they found no evidence of statistically significant heterogeneity or publication bias among the studies analyzed.
Albumin was compared with no albumin in 3 trials and with artificial colloid in 1 trial.
All patients received antibiotics.
The researchers found that the incidence of renal impairment in control groups was 44 of 144, compared with 12 of 144 in groups given albumin.
The pooled odds ratio for a reduction in renal impairment after albumin infusion was 0.2.
Odds ratios for renal impairment after albumin therapy ranged from 0.190.30 among the individual studies.
The doctors reported that thet mortality among controls was 51 of 144, compared with 23 of 144 among patients who received albumin.
The pooled odds ratio for decreased mortality after infusion of albumin was 0.34.
Dr Salerno's team concluded, "Odds ratios for mortality in individual randomized controlled trials ranged from 0.160.55."

Much like they did with Pilot Talk, Complex got a chance to listen to Black Milk's upcoming album.
"Deadly Medley" f/ Royce Da 5'9" & Elzhi
Complex says: This is the one song that everyone couldn't wait to hear, and thankfully it delivers on its promise; the beat is laced with a smooth old-school sample and all three D-Town representatives hold their own. Royce as always comes nice with the one-liners ("You can't take the heat get your ass out the kitchen/Matter fact take you ass back in there and wash these dishes") and Elzhi holds his own as well ("Pockets go green like it was Earth Day"). The only drawback is that Black Milk told everyone that Jay Electronica was originally supposed to be on the track, which means we can't help but wonder how much greater it actually could've been.

Re: Virgin USA Rise getting pushed some sort of update
From a user named lostinmemory @ Android Forums:
I was rooted before the update and I'm still rooted after. I haven't had any problems with the phone or the update. All of my system apps are still on the phone (Activate, Live, etc.) I only rooted so I could use adaway. I can also confirm that this fixes the USSD vulnerability. Overall, the phone feels a little snappier and more stable. This gives me hope for an eventual Jelly Bean update.
I also have the update, and am now definitely headed towards rooting this phone. I've also found over there some folks using the No-Frills CPU app on their rooted Rise phones. That would definitely make me go nuts... max speed is at 1024 GHz according to those that tried it, but with the egl tweaks, that bit of extra CPU speed couldn't hurt! I still have my rooted V if I somehow break it. Just being able to do those two things is enough for me to go root my Rise.

In a recent discussion in the comments section of one of my blog posts, a person who doubts the historicity of Jesus suggested that an appropriate comparison of ancient figures would be that with Socrates, Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. These three have solid contemporary witnesses, whereas there is none for Jesus.
While I disagree that there is no good contemporary witness for Jesus, that is not where I want go. I will give that there is very solid historical information for Julius Caesar. The advantage there is that we have what people wrote about Caesar as well as some of his own writings. It would be hard to argue with, although I suppose if someone was determined enough, all they would have to do is insist that it is all forged.
I want to focus on the other two though. First of all, I have no doubt that Socrates and Alexander were historical figures. But what do we know of them and how reliable are our accounts? Socrates is known to us primarily from Plato, although he is mention by Xenophon and Aristophanes (no one would use Aristophanes as history). Yet, Platonic scholars will readily admit that very often Plato is using the figure of Socrates as a character in his books to express Plato's own thoughts rather than recounting Socrates own teachings or experiences. We have no idea where Socrates ends and where Plato begins.
What about Alexander the Great? We have a number of surviving biographies. The fact that we have a number would seem to put us on firmer historical ground. The problem is that all of these were written long after the events. The five main surviving accounts are by Arrian, Curtius, Plutarch, Diodorus, and Justin. Of these, all but Diodorus lived after the time of Christ. Even Diodorus was from the second half of the first century BC. I find it it interesting that people will take these accounts seriously as history and then dismiss Paul because he wrote twenty to thirty years after the events and the Gospels because they were written forty to fifty years after the events. Would it really be preferable to have accounts three hundred years after the events?
Does this "prove" Jesus existed? But it should make us be cautious in what standards we use to decide who is historical and who is mythical.

The Oakland Athletics should be glad that the month of May is over and done with. What started out as a somewhat promising month quickly was highlighted by key injuries that helped contribute to dismally low offensive performances.
It was a straining 31 days for the entire team, though. Three members of the starting lineup along with the team's ace all saw time on the disabled list. Oakland's closer was demoted. The A's were shut out five times and finished May with eight straight losses—dropping them to last place in the American League West. Heck, manager Bob Melvin was even ejected twice during the month.
Needless to say, it was a tough go-round for this group of young players who were one of MLB's bright spots for exceeding expectations over the course of the season's first five weeks. But obviously, the baseball gods evened out Oakland's karma for the season, putting the team in some dire situations in May. Not many ballclubs could overcome losing two members of their outfield, their third baseman and their No. 1 starting pitcher—all within a week of each other. And for an inexperienced team like the A's, it proved to be even more difficult to handle.
That said, the Athletics certainly did their best given the circumstances. But they still finished May with an 11-16 record.
It was definitely not easy to watch, but there are always lessons to take away from those trying times. Here are five things we learned about the A's in the month of May.

KCON earns accreditation for doctoral program
Posted on June 08, 2012
Kirkhof College of Nursing's Doctor of Nursing Practice degree program has received accreditation from the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education that will extend through 2017.
The accreditation process included a written self-study and a three-day site visit by a CCNE evaluation team. Dean Cynthia McCurren noted that accreditation is an important achievement because students, employers and consumers are assured that KCON graduates are educated under nationally established standards that have been validated through a rigorous process.
"This is a wonderful accomplishment and my sincere appreciation goes to the faculty who have implemented this impressive degree program and the students who have enriched its endeavors," McCurren said.

We ordered the postcard and the quality is great and so excited to send them to our family and friends. Sooo cute for the bride-to-be that wants something a little different. One tiny thing would be that the back lettering "wording" looks a lot bigger in the proof than in person. It seemed like it could be a few sizes up, but its nothing major. Also, totally unrelated, but would have loved if we could have had WPD mail the cards directly to our guests. I know another site does that and I would have totally taken advantage of that if it was an option."
"Love love love this!! Turned out exactly how I wanted, great designer review, and shipping/printing took less than a week!"
"This Save the Date turned out great! The photo quality was awesome, and Wedding Card Divas had my order to me 4 days before my expected delivery date!"
"Although they aren't the cheapest in price range, I love the thank you card that I created from a save the date. Customer service was awesome"
"We have received continuous compliments on our save the dates. One guest called today to say the card is in her china cabinet and the first thing people see when entering her dining room. The paper quality was great, heavy enough to ship without envelopes and arrive in good shape. We searched several vendors looking for the best design. We wanted to use 1 picture, with a 1 month calendar and emphasis on the date. We even used a cell phone selfie and it looks good. Make sure your photo is high resolution. The customer service team was tremendously helpful. The turnaround time for proofing, printing and shipping was as promised. During the proof process we were able to ask questions via email and phone. This helped ease our concerns and we received exactly what we expected. Thanks! Team All In Now to pick an invitation....."

When individual galaxies collide and spiral into one another, they discard trails of hot gas that stretch across space, providing signposts to the mayhem. Recognising the signs of collisions between whole clusters of galaxies, however, is not as easy.
When individual galaxies collide and spiral into one another, they discard trails of hot gas that stretch across space, providing signposts to the mayhem. Recognising the signs of collisions between whole clusters of galaxies, however, is not as easy.
This was the first clear separation seen between normal and dark matter. Credits: X-ray: NASA/CXC/CfA/M.Markevitch, Optical and lensing map: NASA/STScI, Magellan/U.Arizona/D.Clowe, Lensing map: ESO WFI
Undaunted, Renato Dupke and colleagues from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, have used ESA's XMM-Newton and NASA's Chandra orbiting X-ray observatories, to disentangle the puzzling galaxy cluster, Abell 576.
Previous X-ray observations had hinted that the gas was not moving uniformly across the cluster. Using the superior sensitivity and spectral resolution of XMM-Newton and Chandra's high spatial resolution, Dupke took readings from two locations in the cluster and saw that there was a distinct difference in the velocity of the gas. One part of the cluster seemed to be moving away from us faster than the other.
The puzzle was that the moving gas itself was cold by astronomical standards. If this gas moved at such high speeds, it should have had a temperature of more than double the measured 50 million degrees Celsius. "The only explanation was to take the Bullet Cluster and turn it in the line of sight, such that one galaxy cluster is directly behind the other" says Dupke.
The two giants are expected to eventually settle into a single, combined galaxy cluster. The discovery adds to existing evidence that galaxy clusters can collide faster than previously thought.
An incoming cluster has collided with the main cluster and the cores of the two clusters cores are deflected. The clusters have collided nearly head on, and one has passed through the other, like a bullet travelling through an apple. Abell 576 is seen head-on, so one cluster is now almost directly behind the other. Credits: University of Michigan (R. Dupke)
The Bullet Cluster is a much-studied pair of galaxy clusters, which have collided head on. One has passed through the other, like a bullet travelling through an apple. In the Bullet Cluster, this is happening across our line of sight, so we can clearly see the two clusters.
Dupke realised that Abell 576 is also a collision, but seen head on, so one cluster is now almost directly behind the other. The 'cold' clouds of gas are the cores of each cluster, which have survived the initial collision but will eventually fall back together to become one.
The data reveals that the clusters have collided at a speed of over 3300 km/s. This is interesting because there are some computer models of colliding galaxy clusters that suggest that such a high speed is impossible to reach.
Nevertheless, the Bullet Cluster is estimated to have a collision speed similar to the Abell 576 system. "There is now a growing body of evidence that these high collision velocities are possible," says Dupke. The job of explaining these high speeds now rests with the cosmologists.
Major cluster-cluster collisions are expected to be rare, with estimates of their frequency ranging from less than one in a thousand clusters to one in a hundred. On collision, their internal gas is thrown out of equilibrium and if unrecognised, causes underestimation of its mass by between 5 and 20 percent.
This is important because the masses of the various galaxy clusters are used to estimate the cosmological parameters that describe how the Universe expands. So, identifying colliding systems is extremely important to our understanding of the Universe.
Dupke and colleagues are already investigating a number of other clusters that also appear to be interacting.

We recently had an open house at Cogswell. The usual suspects, i.e. admissions, met up in the morning joined by some new faces that were equally tired, yet still smiling for being around 9:00am on a Saturday. I doled out the "welcome" cookies and coffee, making small talk with parents, all the while contributing to the growing problem of diabetes and obesity in America. I wonder if anyone ever considered offering fresh fruit, maybe some croissants, or even granola… regardless, it appears that everything went smoothly.
I met some kids who were really excited about becoming members of the Cogswell community. Their excitement helped me get excited for the potential new class coming into Cogswell this January. Still, their passion came through and it reminded me of the group of kids I started with. Now that I think about it, nearly all of these open houses stir up some sort of nostalgia for this senior.

GKN has developed new powder metal aluminum alloys with high thermal conductivity in the range of 200 – 230 W/m-K for heat sink applications. These new materials offer thermal management designers with an alternative to current heat sinks that are typically die cast or machined from wrought stock. The combination of low cost and high thermal conductivity while being able to provide the shape and dimensional capability of PM is attractive to engineers and designers. Further enhancements through the use of ceramic additions can provide tailoring of the CTE (Coefficient of Thermal Expansion) of the material.

Eight Iowa Conference championships
NORMAL, ILL.—Central College's Taylor Hill (sophomore, Treynor) fired an even-par 72 to finish in a tie for second place at the Illinois Wesleyan Fall Invitational women's golf tourney Sunday.
Hill claimed runner-up honors after winning the scorecard playoff. She improved her first-round score by six strokes and climbed from 15th to finish with 78-72—150. Hill was two shots behind medalist Lindsey Johnson from William Woods University.
"Taylor had a tough up and down on the last hole to shoot even," coach Tim Wilkinson said. "She handled the pressure well and played really well."
The Dutch finished 14th with 342-343—685. William Woods won the 22-team tourney with 309-298—607. Ashley Smith (senior, Johnsburg, Ill.) tied for 62nd with 81-92—173, Kelsey Van Tasell (sophomore, Pella) tied for 73rd with 90-85—175, Chelsey Shuey (freshman, Ames) tied for 103rd with 93-95—188 and Emily Fisher (freshman, Wapello) was 105th with 97-94—191.
"We're still searching for consistency," Wilkinson said. "With two freshmen in the top five we're a somewhat young team, but we'll keep chipping away and working hard to peak at the right time."
Central travels to Cedar Falls next weekend for an 18-hole dual against William Penn University at the Pheasant Ridge Golf Course, the same course the Dutch will play the following weekend for the first two rounds of the Iowa Conference tournament.

Posted on 05/15/2012 5:59:20 PM PDT by Kathy in Alaska
A Full Time Foodie here!
Hi Everybody!
Ahh.. James Beard.
The original American Foodie
|You Are a Full-time Foodie
You're probably at least a decent cook, and you have a very sophisticated palette.
You're up on food trends, and you're always looking to sample something new and different.
You figure that if you're going to eat three meals a day, you might as well make them an adventure.
I'll bet it is. Covers up some pretty funky under-flavors I would imagine! LOL!
Permission Granted!
Amen, Conor....amen!!
"The Joy of Cooking" was my introduction to technique.
Much had been imparted via the family, but "Joy" introduced me to technique, from Kentucky to France.
Nothing funky.
Slapping forehead...I should have thought of her...Julia Child always seemed to REALLY enjoy cooking.
Good evening, Mac...*HUGS*...good luck to #3 son in his summer job search.
How was your day? I've been swamped since I stepped foot into the office. Got LOTS done, but homework still.
Good evening, Full Time Foodie...((HUGS))
Hope your day was good. Lots of lessons? Kids back on track after the recital?
Thanks, AZ, for the red, white, and blue tribute.
Did you have a safe commute? No traffic issues? *HUGS*
Swamped day for me....home, but homework pending.
Is it possible that technological advances in communication have left us unable to confront people properly? After all, employers can now send layoff notices via e-mail. And people can criticize others on Facebook and Twitter instead of talking face to face. Perhaps it might be better to put all that aside and emulate how Paul communicated with Peter when they had a disagreement.
Paul had to confront Peter for compromising grace (Gal. 2:11-16). Peter had been fellowshiping with Gentiles, but when the Judaizers arrived (who believed that sinners are saved through Jesus plus keeping the law of Moses), Peter separated himself from the Gentiles. He ostracized them while professing to be one with them. Seeing this hypocrisy, Paul, in love and with passion, confronted Peter face to face for cowering to a legalistic system that was powerless to change lives. He vigorously reminded Peter that grace leads to freedom from sins slavery and to obedience to God.
Having courageous conversations with fellow Christians can be difficult, but they will promote purity and unity. We can carry out our responsibility to one another to speak the truth in love (Eph. 4:15) by walking in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Read: Galatians 2:11-21

Yummy! Good evening, Markos. It's dinner time. Thanks for playing.
Some are...some aren't! LOL!
I knew it!!! When I found the quiz I knew you and my would be full-time foodies. LOL!!
|You Are a Part-time Foodie
And while each meal you have may not be extremely special, you try to spice things up a bit.
You aren't a very picky eater, and you're always looking to expand what you like.
You are willing to give almost anything a go, and you're quite the creative cook.
Good evening, Repeal...hope all is well. ((HUGS))
I'm not a glutton but I'm sure a foodie!
Hi, Ma!
Mylife and I are foodies to the max!
We have pretty simple but good taste.
we may be foodies, but we aint snobs. LOL
Heck, I went to Taco Casa today for Taco Tuesdays!
Not the best taco in the world, but they sure were filling and tasty.
Another full-timer....lots of you foodies. d:o)
Prudhomme's cooking blows away Cachere's and Lagasse
|You Are a Fast Foodie
You know what you like when it comes to food, and you're not interested in anything too fancy.
You have been accused of being a picky eater, and that's partially true.
It's easy to be a picky eater when you already have some pretty fab foods you love!
It said something about buying green things.....
"but we aint snobs"
No we ain't!
We just love good food, well prepared and nicely spiced!
Oh man..
I want to go dere!
Its right down the street from the gun shop LOl
"It said something about buying green things."
and I knew THAT was coming!
Why the aversion to green stuff?
Do you never eat salads?
I told you about that weird lobster presentation I got at a restaurant once, right?
They broke the lobsters body in half, stood up the front end, and put lemons in it's claws.
It looked like it wanted to play poker!
Presentation is important, IMHO.
If it's not pleasing to the eye, it's almost doomed.
I always try to make my food look really nice, even here at home.
Just imagine...LOL!
You two are like two peas in a pod when it comes to food. You will try anything!! And you can cook just about anything, too.
Aloha, Sweetness!
I am glad you mentioned Biba Caggiano, tonight.
I am going to try and find a cookbook by her one of these days.
Yeah that is weird.
Why would you go out of your way to make it look yucky?
Welcome to the Canteen, dynachrome.
Rotting? Moving? Yuck!!
Thanks for playing.
All I know is you don't order fish in a steakhouse and you don't order beef in a seafood place.
When Veg is in season I order veg.
"Green" things is a big catagory....vegetables, etc.
I won't press you about your aversion to green things.
There are some things I can't stand either, like biting into a fuzzy peach.
It's a texture thing.
To me, it would be like biting into a cold dead mouse.
I DO love peaches, I just can't eat dat fuzz!

Plasma gouging, although not necessarily as well-known as plasma cutting, is one of four methods of gouging that can be used for a variety of industrial applications. Different techniques bring about different results, depending on the application.

Your car engine's water-cooling system has a lot in common with the cooling system in your plasma cutter: Both use water and coolant, a pump, cooling hoses, and a heat exchanger to remove energy from a heat source.

A trained plasma technician can tell a lot about the health of a plasma system if he learns how to inspect the electrode, understands normal wear patterns, and knows how to spot signs of trouble. This article shows the difference between good and bad wear in air and oxygen plasma systems.

Acts 4:32-35; Psalm 133; 1 John 1:1-2:2; John 20:19-31
When Mary Magdalene said she'd seenthe Lord it was strangely disappointingOne of the worst women saved from the streetto have been first I knew it must be truethat's just what he would do but thenwhen I was the only one to fight fear& search for myself the others lagging behindit was like the soldier's spear went right throughme too when I returned to hear the others bragging (that was the worst)that I was the only one not to have been therenot to have seen where his hands were piercedI went into denial I won't believe I saidAnything less than my fingers in his woundswon't be enough My words sounded oddto my ears A week later I was amongthem when he appeared & called my bluffMy Lord & my God Conviction rolled off my tongue
Frightened disciples—cowering behind a bolted door—emerged from hiding as fearless and fierce followers. What changed them was the conviction that their crucified friend was alive.
The Lord said to Thomas, "Do not doubt, but believe." We know that line well. Too well, in fact, since Jesus didn't say anything to Thomas about doubt.
We pull out all the stops on Easter. So do you, I'll bet. We have the flowers, and the music, and the crowds. This year we had an incredible liturgical dancer who carried the paschal candle throughout the sanctuary. The Easter sermon was clear and dramatic and inspiring.
Living by covenant, not contract
Monastic vows sound familiar to anyone who's been to a wedding. In both marriage and celibacy, we promise to be faithful.

GpsTrekker – my (almost) forgotten project
6 months ago I was busy developing GpsTrekker, an application for hiking and cycling enthusiasts. But then I joined the OpenStreetMap community and forgot about GpsTrekker. It was still in very early phase, but you could load your GPS tracks data and show various elevation contours with it (see image above).
So this is kind of a reminder post for me :). Maybe I'll include features of GpsTrekker into the Kosmos application (or some Kosmos extension) in the (distant?) future.

HONG KONG - Tens of thousands marched in Hong Kong yesterday demanding a timeframe for direct elections, but the city's Beijing-anointed leader stood firm on reforms that his critics say are inadequate.
With organisers putting the number of protesters at quarter of a million, the march could irritate China's Communist Party leaders and embarrass Hong Kong Chief Executive Donald Tsang.
Police said the five-hour march drew 63,000 protesters, many wearing "Hong Kong loves democracy" stickers and waving placards as they crowded between skyscrapers in one of the world's main financial centres.
Tsang said he "heard the voice" of the protesters but insisted there was little scope to change his package of reforms, which he hopes the Hong Kong legislature will pass on December 21.
He said the reforms should proceed before any timetable is set for universal suffrage, which Hong Kong's post-colonial constitution, the basic law, allows for.
"I'm 60 years of age and I certainly want to see universal suffrage in Hong Kong in my time," Tsang told reporters.
"Our leaders in Beijing are fully aware of what's happening in Hong Kong and they're not against democracy as such," he said.
Despite widespread calls for full democracy, Beijing, which regained control over Hong Kong in 1997, has been unwilling to let the territory decide for itself when this should come.
Hong Kong's chief executive is approved by China's leaders and picked by a Beijing-backed committee of 800 electors. Only half the members of its 60-seat legislature are directly elected.
The Tsang administration's reform plan would double the size of the Chief Executive selection committee and add 10 seats to the Legislative Council, five of which would be directly elected.
'Bird-cage reform'
Sunday's protest evoked memories of July 2003, when an economic slump and disaffection with the then chief executive, Tung Chee-hwa, drew half a million people on to the streets of the former British colony -- one in fourteen residents.
"Donald Tsang is a good leader, but he's only elected by 800 people, which means he only has to please them," said Andrew Wong, 40, who works for an export business.
"I've brought my five-year-old daughter here to teach her what democracy is."
Walking among banners that read "You want a clown or a chief executive?" and "Oppose bird-cage political reform", Paul Tsang, 83, said Hong Kong lacked direction without a plan for democracy.
"Early in the morning, you wake up with a schedule, to eat breakfast and do things during the day," the retired army officer said. "It's ridiculous to do something without a schedule."
Anson Chan, who was Tung's powerful head of the civil service for four years after he took over from British governor Chris Patten in 1997, joined a pro-democracy march for the first time.
"I just feel there are moments in one's life when you have to stand up and be counted," she told reporters.

Milan have had to take a back seat this summer.
The Rossoneri have watched on as Juventus and Napoli have spent lavishly—in terms of transfer fees and wages—which has brought a sense of fear that the gap between them and Italy's top two clubs last season is only getting bigger.
Expectations are never quelled at Milan, even in seasons of transition, which is an example of how illustrious the club is—always demanding success, a habit that has made them the world's most decorated club.
Here are 10 reasons Milan still mean business this season and why Massimiliano Allegri will secretly know that the pressure is as high as ever.

Twilight At Lava Creek
On the way to dinner one night shortly after sunset we once again stopped at the overlook and found the light to be just right, with the colorful sky partly reflected in the water. As I was shooting I kept thinking as to how Frederic Church or Albert Bierstadt might approach this scene.

The recent opening of an American Girl store at Easton Town Center was a big success for the doll company, for Easton — and for central Ohio tourism.
American Girl is the kind of store that can draw visitors to the area, and similar magnets are joining the landscape.
Cabela's, the outdoors megastore heavy on hunting and fishing equipment, opened in March at Polaris, and last month REI, an outdoors store geared more toward hiking and cycling, said it will add a store next year at Easton.
"The point from a regional economic standpoint is that it is pulling dollars into the region from outside of the region," said Bill Lafayette, owner of Regionomics, an economics-consulting firm in Columbus. "That's allowing the Columbus per-capita income to rise, our standard of living to rise, simply because we have more dollars in our economy than we had before."
When American Girl opened, it attracted nine bloggers from across the country who write about issues related to mothers and families, shining a broad light on the area, said Beth Ervin, spokeswoman for Experience Columbus, the city's convention and visitors bureau.
The opening was a "pretty special thing because the nearest store is Chicago and it has rabid fans," Ervin said. "All the little girls want to go there."Cabela's and REI also have strong followings.
"Shopping is part of the tourism equation, a big part," Ervin said, adding that it's the No. 1 activity listed in Experience Columbus polling of overnight visitors.
In the tourism bureau's most-recent analysis, for 2011, tourists spent $7.8 billion at local businesses in Columbus and Franklin County. Of that, the top percentage — 24 percent, or $1.872 billion — was spent at retail stores here.
So-called "destination retailers," like the ones coming to central Ohio, also help other businesses, Lafayette said.
"They may come for American Girl or Cabela's, but with other shopping right there, they'll probably spend half a day or a day just going around, buying lunch, making other purchases they could probably have made at home," he said.
The retail experience is so important to tourism — and the Columbus economy — that Experience Columbus has made the arrival of Ohio's only American Girl store part of its sales pitches to tour groups.
"From a marketing perspective, great retail is an important part of the Columbus brand," said retail analyst Chris Boring, principal at Boulevard Strategies. "The city is known statewide for its great retail."
Recent success now gives way to more possibilities. Neiman Marcus is one of the few remaining big names that haven't yet set up shop in Columbus. Others include IKEA, Bloomingdale's, Karl Lagerfeld, Dean & DeLuca and Bass Pro Shop. Many anticipate that Bass Pro Shop could come soon, however.
"They may go next to whichever outlet mall gets built first," said Matt Wilson, who covers retail at SBC Advertising, referring to four competing plans to put an outlet mall either west, north or east of the Outerbelt.
The degree of difficulty in luring another big name goes up some because the number of possible targets is fewer, Boring said. But on the upside, Easton and Polaris offer prime spots for big-name retailers that might be looking to expand.
"Will the addition of American Girl and Cabela's help draw something like Neiman Marcus?" Lafayette said. "Could be, just because our effective trade area is larger than it was before and there are more people who are potential customers than there were before.
"The thing we have to keep an eye on is we don't overextend ourselves like we did in the 1980s and 1990s. We had a decade of bloodletting after that. We want to be careful not to get ahead of ourselves. However, the numbers I've crunched recently indicate we're not there yet."
For now, the trend lines are strong, Lafayette said.
"All those retail dollars coming into the region, whether they're going to Polaris or Easton, build up the treasuries of Delaware County and Franklin County," he said. "That means those counties have to get fewer dollars from their residents in order to provide services. It's an important point.
"It'll improve our quality of life around here."
