There has been some criticism that the Ruataniwha Dam project will not be financially viable or sustainable and will suffer from lack of demand, despite the Hawke's Bay Regional Council (HBRC) providing convincing information about its merits.
Looking at a similar project in Timaru, Federated Farmers is confident HBRC has presented an achievable scenario which will provide huge benefits to farming and the people of Hawke's Bay. An irrigation ban issued last month for parts of the Ngaruroro, Waipawa and Tukituki rivers, affecting more than 200 consent holders, demonstrates the need for a reliable water supply.
The proposed Ruataniwha Dam will be on the Makaroro River and could supply water to irrigate 25,000ha of farmland and generate 6.5 megaWatts of electricity. Critics say uptake of irrigation would be low because costs to individual farmers would make joining the scheme uneconomic for all except dairy farmers, but HBRC's data and the experience of the Opuha Dam near Timaru suggest otherwise.
The HBRC's September 2012 Ruataniwha Plains Water Storage Project: Feasibility Report to Council reported distribution costs as between 20c and 30c per cubic metre of water. For farmers wanting to continue farming over summer, individual on-farm water storage was priced at about $3 to $5.80 for a cubic metre of water, compared to $2.91 per cubic metre for Ruataniwha dam storage.
These figures are based on the assumption of a dairy payout of $6.50 per kilo of milk solids and lamb and beef prices at $6 and $4.25 per kilogram, respectively, but dairying is not the only land use predicted to use water for irrigation.
Macfarlane Rural Business Ltd predicts conversion rates of irrigable land will be 37 per cent to dairy, with arable to 32 per cent and sheep and beef at 13 per cent.
This use of Ruataniwha water could translate to farm added value rising by $70 million a year, including an additional household income lift of $24m a year.
Significantly for the region, this is predicted to provide an extra 632 full-time on-farm jobs.
The flow-on of increased farm financial benefits would lift the GDP of Hawke's Bay by 4 per cent. This all adds up to more opportunities for farming and everyone else in Hawke's Bay's dry climate.
The Opuha Dam is an example of demand and on-farm affordability. Constructed in 1998, it has capacity to provide water to irrigate 16,000ha of farmland. It also supplies town supply, commercial use and generates electricity. An economic report states every thousand hectares of dry land only generated $0.71 million of added value a year, but the same area of irrigated properties generated $2m in 2003 and 2004. Direct farm output increased by $40m per year.
On-farm added value increased by $16.3m and household income increased by $7m per year. It generated 480 new jobs, 145 of which are full time on-farm.
The Opuha Dam paints an encouraging picture of how large-scale water storage projects benefit farmers and the wider community.

Angry home buyers and investors are running out of patience over a troubled housing development that promised massive returns.
The Serious Fraud Office says it has received a complaint about the Albany Heights subdivision, which was meant to be part of the answer to Auckland's desperate housing shortage.
The developers promised three-bedroom townhouses from as little as $375,000. The average house price in the city has soared to more than half a million dollars.
The new subdivision was to include 124 townhouses in its first stage alone. Stage two sprawled across a 5ha site on Silver Moon Rd.
Albany Heights promised buyers their own shops, creches and swimming pools.
Some of the buyers who rushed in were speculators or property investors, but other were first-home buyers looking for a toe-hold in Auckland's tough housing market.
Property developer Chris Cook insisted the first stage of new houses at Albany Heights would be built, but the fate of the second stage remained uncertain.
One young investor said the dreams he once had for his family's first home were fading.
"It's already more than one year behind schedule. There should be something already," Louis Chen said.
"Right now we are still trying to understand the situation."
Chen, 28, said some people were lured by promises of massive 38 per cent returns, but he simply wanted a modest family home for his wife and baby.
"The property was a very reasonable price. It was not a very luxurious home. The housing prices have gone crazy recently. We just wanted an affordable home."
In June 2011, he paid $10,000 to Hornabrook Macdonald Lawyers. Two months later, he paid $32,000 to Hunter Gills Road Limited.
"That's our hard-earned money," he said.
Cook said yesterday some progress had been made but he could not give investors any assurances.
The "fundamental root of the problem" had been timing and a long-running battle for resource consent.
"Stage two's up in the air. Stage one will be built," Cook said yesterday, adding he now had all the necessary approvals from Auckland Council.
Cook said his time as director was brief but he'd become the fall guy for some investors' frustrations over project delays.
"I've put myself into the firing line a little bit," he said. "We give updates as we can. You obviously can't satisfy everyone."
Chen, a Murrays Bay resident, often drives to Albany to see what progress had been made.
"I went back to the site a few times. The office was shut."
Although some investors were talking about legal action, Chen was still waiting.
"We have to understand the situation before we take legal action."

RoA Features on T4.4 Servers!!!!
Posted on 28 April 2017 | 5:46 amHello Travian Community,
As you may remember, we announced some time ago that our plan for this year was to implement two features from the RoA version of the game on the regular servers.
A couple of weeks ago, we opened a poll where a lot of you expressed their opinion on this topic and the worldwide results confirmed a will to implement alliance bonuses and defense point calculation. Now it's time to announce that we have a date for you!
Starting from May 10th, 2017 we will implement the two features on all the new servers that will open from this date (don't panic!! the servers that are already running will not get these features).
Here is a brief description of what these two new features add to the game.
Players have the ability to contribute resources to the alliance in order to gain certain bonuses. Like greater CP production, faster troop production, weapon and armor bonuses as well as a bonus on merchant capacity.
The amount of resources a player can donate is limited and resets on a daily basis. The player can spend gold to triple the size of their donation while paying the same amount of resources. The daily limit the player has cannot be increased by spending gold.
The defense points for the top ten defenders are usually granted to the defending village owner even if most of the defending units are from different players. This has been changed so that the defense points are split among all defenders based on the defending units supplied.
So sharpen your weapons and get ready for a new adventure!

Prerequisites: none
The moment you create an account you will receive an hero.
Your hero can be sent as a reinforcement to other villages like every other unit. However, unlike every other unit, it is possible to control your hero from any one of your own villages at a time. To use your hero from another one of your own villages you must send him there as a reinforcement and tick the "Change hero home town" box whilst doing so. Once your hero arrives at the village you send him to you will be able to control him from that village.
Depending on your selected Travian tribe, a hero will gain one special tribe ability. Those special abilities can not be upgraded by the player:
- Roman tribe:
The hero skill "strength" increases by 100 points instead of 80 points for each skill point added.
- Gaul tribe:
+5 Speed if mounted
- Teuton tribe:
20 % "Cranny dip" (also known as "Plunder bonus") for all units attacking with the hero.
When a hero is created he has 4 skill points that are set to his resource production. Ability levels can be increased up to level 100. Each time a hero gains a level he earns 4 additional ability points that can be used to increase his 4 ability levels.
- Fighting strength:
Points put into this ability increase the attack and defence value of the hero. Please note that your hero count as cavalry in case he is equipped with a horse and as infantry in case he is not equipped with a horse.
- Off bonus:
Points put into this ability increase the attack value of the whole army by 0.2% per point (maximum of 20%). This bonus only applies if the hero is attacking with the army.
- Def bonus:
Points put into this ability increase the defence value of your whole army (means all own troops defending - the village where they come from is unimportant) by 0.2% per point (maximum of 20%) This bonus only applies if the hero is defending with the army. Other defending troops which are not under your control, will remain unaffected by this bonus.
- Resources:
Points put into this ability increase the resource output of the village where the Hero is located. You can opt to increase production of one resource only or to evenly spread the bonus across all resources. It still remains one skill. You can freely change that setting.
After upgrading a hero's mansion to level 10, you can use your hero to occupy oases in your surroundings. At building level 10 one oasis can be occupied, at level 15 two and with a hero's mansion level 20 three. The oases you want to occupy have to be within the 7x7 square around your village (please note that your village has to be in the middle of the 7x7 square).
The example below marks "your" village in black and the oases you are theoretically able to conquer in red. Hint: You can only have 3 oases per village.
Conquering player owned oases is possible, too. You need to have at least one open slot in your hero's mansion. Remember that you have to send your hero along or you cannot conquer the oasis. If the village you are attacking already owns three oases at the time of your attacks the first successful attack will lower the oasis' loyalty from 100% to 0% making it yours. If it already owns two, the attacks only lower the loyalty by 60% and if it already owns one the loyalty will decrease by only 40% in a successful attack.
Troops with higher fighting strength values are, of course, better and stronger than troops with lower fighting strength values. The reviving costs of the stronger troops are higher than those of the inferior troops, though. Players can own one hero and every time he dies the player may revive him.

FAQ and further information
How much can a hero carry?
- A hero can carry nothing at all.
Do heroes show up in battle reports?
- Yes, they do.
Can I see the skills of a hero in the battle report?
- No, this is impossible.
What is the maximum level of a skill?
- The maximum level is 100 per skill.
Is it possible to defend one village with multiple heroes?
- Yes, but the defence bonus only applies to troops of the player who owns the hero giving the bonus.
When does a hero lose hit points?
- Almost every time you attack someone as the base defence (palace + wall) is enough to inflict at least some damage.
Can a hero be used as sole defender or attacker in a combat?
- Yes, but this is not advised as a hero will die if he receives more than 90 damage (or loses more than 90 hit points) in a single battle.
How is the experience of a hero calculated?
- Each opposing dead soldier (experience/exp = upkeep of the dead soldier) in a battle where a hero took part is added as experience. See the table above for a clear listing how much experience/kills you need to gain another level.
Does a hero get experience when he dies in a battle?
- Yes, he does.
How is the experience divided when there are several defending heroes?
- It is divided evenly between the heroes.
Example: If there are 3 heroes, each one would get 1/3 of the experience.
Does a hero get improved by upgrades done in the smithy?
- No, they do not influence a hero at all, regardless of when the upgrade has been done.
When can I start occupying oases?
- You need a hero's mansion level 10, 15 or 20 for each oasis you want to occupy.
How many heroes can you have at a time?
- Each player can only have one hero. If this hero dies, the player will have the option to revive it.
Can I move my hero to another village of mine and use him from there to attack?
- Yes. To do this you need to check the checkbox "Change hero home village" before sending it to the new village.
What happens to the skills and experience when I revive a hero?
- Apart from the hero having 100% hit points again, he will be the same as before he was killed, he'll lose neither skills nor experience.
Hero regeneration rate
- It is 10 per day by default. It can be enhanced by items though.
Do I still get the items if my hero dies on an adventure?
- No.
Where can I change my hero settings?
- In the right upper corner you see the picture of your hero. If you click on it a page with the hero attributes opens.
There you can change your hero settings like the resource production.
What kind of unit is the hero treated as? Cavalry or infantry?
- The hero count as cavalry in case he is equipped with a horse and as infantry in case he is not equipped with a horse.
Do I lose my items if my hero dies?
- No.
Am I able to name my hero?
- No.
How can I revive my hero?
- If your hero died, just open your hero settings. There you have the possibility to revive him - all you need is enough resources or a bucket to do so. It can be revived by items though.
Please note that you can only revive your hero in a village with a rally point. In case you do not have a rally point in the village you try to revive your hero in, the hero will get revived in his former home village.
Does a hero's fighting strength count for both offence and defence?
- Yes.
What does "Your hero will not defend the village he currently belongs to." in my hero's settings mean?
- This means that he will not participate in the defence of the village that he is currently at. However, if you've sent your hero as a reinforcement to another player's village or your own village, he will defend it even though the function is enabled.
What is the resurrection/revival time for my hero?
- (level+1) hours, maximum 24 hours
My hero always dies. What can I do?
- You need to level him in fighting strength to avoid this.
Can the items like ointment be stolen from my hero?
- No.
Is there any way to trade or send items between players or inside the alliance?
- No.
What do I need to control my hero from another village?
- Just send your hero to one of your own villages (make sure you check the "Change hero home village" nox before sending it away). As soon as he arrives there you can control your hero from this village.
How is the speed of my hero calculated?
- The formula is: speed = speed unit * speed bonus hero (hero + items) * artefact bonus
Tip: The standard works only between alliance members and the boots work for all targets. If he is travelling between alliance members he gets the bonus for boots AND standard otherwise he will only get the bonus for boots.

I. Romans
II. Teutons
III. Gauls
IV. Nature Troops
V. Natar Troops
VI. Anvils and Hammers
VII. What troops should I have as a beginner?
VIII. How do I train troops?
Welcome back! In this month's guide, we're going to give you a overview of the troops, their advantages and disadvantages, and even some helpful advice!
So the first thing you need to know is that every tribe has its own kinds of troops BUT they fall into the following categories:
- Defensive
- Offensive
- Infantry
- Scouts
- Cavalry
- Destruction
- Administrators
- Settlers
Each account also has a hero. Troops can be classified in certain groups from above. For instance, Teuton scouts are scouts but also infantry, whereas Roman and Gauls scouts are scouts and cavalry. Also, important to note is that each tribe has offensive troops, defensive troops, administrators, etc. They are just named differently.
Romans have fairly well balanced troops, equally capable of offense and defense. For Romans, the defensive infantry are the Praetorian. Both Cavalry units for the Romans are good at defending, but overall, the Equites Caesaris are the upgraded version of the Equites Imperatoris and can be used to pack quite an offensive punch.
So, Roman offensive troops are the Imperian, Equites Imperatoris, Equites Caesaris, the Battering Ram, and Fire Catapults. For Romans, the Legionnaire is the most basic troop type, being well rounded in offense and defense.
Roman scouts are the Equites Legati, the final kind of cavalry for Romans.
Roman destructive troops are of course the Battering Ram and Catapults. The rams destroy walls and catapults destroy buildings. In order to complete certain aspects of the game, catapults and rams are of the utmost importance. And lastly but certainly not least, the Roman administrator is the Senator, who uses his influence to conquer another player's village from them. Most notably, the Senator is the most efficient of all the Travian administrator units. Do not be surprised if it takes one administrator less than is the standard for a Roman to conquer a village.
Teuton troops are highly offense based; generally weaker than their counterparts from other tribes when it comes to their characteristics they make up for their lack of fire power by being cheaper and quicker to produce. While not entirely dangerous in small numbers, Teuton warlords are well aware of this fact, so they will always attack as a horde, with a massive army of efficient if cheaply produced units. Do not be surprised to see a vast number of Clubs heading your way – this is the ultimate edge of the hammer; the Teutons will break through your defenses using the power of sheer numbers. That being said, having only two kinds of cavalry, the Teuton armies are almost always infantry based. Even the Teuton basic infantry is well equipped to raid. Teuton defensive troops are the Spearmen, which are equipped to handle cavalry with ease, and the Paladin which quickly does away with infantry. Even though the Teutons are offensive by nature, when combined these two troops can make a very fearsome defense.
The Axeman and the Teutonic Knight are the Teuton's best offensive weapons. Both are very skilled in attack and will quickly tear through any army.
Teuton scouts are infantry and thus move slower than Roman scouts. Teuton destructive units are the Ram and the Catapult.
The Teuton administrator is so named the Chief.
Gaul troops are more defensive based and their offensive troops are far more expensive than any other tribe's. The basic Gaul troop, the Phalanx, is an excellent defender and is usually the base of Gaul armies. They are decent at offensive measures, however if meet by enough defense they will surely fall. Like the Teutons, the Gauls have a defensive cavalry and an offensive cavalry. Their defensive cavalry is the Druidrider. The Theutates Thunder is more skilled at raiding and attacking. However, their defensive capabilities are limited. And of course the Gaulic heavy cavalry, the Haeduan, is a well rounded unit useful for both offense and defense. However, be forewarned: its costs to train and maintain are higher than most other units. Great power means great costs. Do not underestimate an offensive Gaul; just because the tribe is peaceful at heart does not mean that its warlords won't crush your army with ease if they wanted to. In fact, a well played Gaul (much like a Roman) can be quite formidable in both offense and defense.
In Travian, to defend oases, we have Nature troops. They cannot attack, only defend. However, they can be captured. Nature troops are currently simply in order of defensive strength. For an overview of their defensive capabilities, check this out:
If you'll notice, it is listed that they have an offensive value. This is because that if Travian Games decides to make it so that animals can attack, it is already in place. However, this is currently still on the drawing board so to speak.
Aha the server troops. Looking for their attack values? Defense values? How about how many are in each village? Well I'm terribly sorry, but this is all hidden. The troop numbers tend to be random, depending on how often they have been attacked, etc.
In Travian, you will often hear the terms "anvil" and "hammer". So let's explain what these are, and how to make one.
VI.1 Anvils
Now, I'm sure that many of you are thinking about this kind of anvil:
But in Travian speak, an anvil is a massive wall of defensive troops, basically. Usually, you want a good mix of infantry and cavalry for your anvil. Most anvils are upwards of 25,000 troops. It's not advised or practical for new-comers to attempt to make anvils. With anvil building, you also need to know how to tell a fake from a real attack. It can be tricky, and takes experience. You have to know when to defend, or to send the anvil away as to not alert the enemy how many troops you have. Anvils are always used for defensive purposes, especially when an alliance member is in trouble. Do not think that a defensive player with an anvil will not have any offensive troops; though their number will not be as great as that of the defensive troops, they may and probably will still be there.
VI.2 Hammers
Hammers are the other end of the spectrum from anvils. Hammers are basically a horde of offensive troops. Like anvils, hammers should have a good mix of offensive infantry and cavalry. Most good hammers have upwards of 35,000 troops. Although not typical, hammers can also include rams and catapults, in case you need to knock a few walls and buildings down. However, most experienced players have rams and catapults (catas) in separate waves. It is also possible to have all infantry and all cavalry hammers. This, however, is up to the player's personal wants/needs and resources and such.
It is this player's experience that would like to point out that splitting up an anvil or hammer to defend or attack multiple targets means that your attack/defense strength is cut into fractions for each target, thus making each piece of the overall weaker.
What is mutual for both hammers and anvils are the maintenance costs; this means that troops require food, and lots of it. Do not fool yourself into thinking you have a hammer if you've trained offensive troops separately in different villages: the hammer is trained in ONE village. An anvil can function slightly differently, because you can pool your defenses into one village when needed, which brings us back to the topic of feeding the troops. There are a few ways to maintain your hammer or anvil. Some players will prefer to get a big cropper (9c or 15c) and keep the troops there, making the cropper their capital and thus raising the crop fields above level 10. But almost always (especially once the size of the hammer/anvil breaches a certain level at later stages of the game), more crop will be needed and so supply lines will regularly travel from other villages to keep the troops fed. Another way of keeping this massive amount of troops alive is to just choose a village to train and keep them in, and build a host of granaries to store food which is sent from other villages; such players still employ croppers for food production and the granary spaces are increased by demolishing old and obsolete buildings. Finally, you can also fraction the hammer or anvil and cut food costs while employing either one of the above mentioned methods; what this means is that you can send a certain number of troops to nearby villages which have a surplus of crop and thus reduce the crop maintenance in your hammer/anvil village. This, however, can be potentially dangerous in that your enemies may attack these villages and destroy fractions of your troops, thus weakening your hammer or anvil without having to blast their way through a massive number of troops they would normally have to go through.
VII. What troops should I have as a beginner?
As a new player to Travian, it's usually advised to have more defensive troops. For Teutons, you need more Clubbies in the beginning. For Romans, Legionnaires and Praetorians are usually best. They provide a solid offensive and defensive force. And finally for Gauls, your best bet are Phalaxes. Also for Gauls, you should consider making a trapper. One of the Gaul tribe's best defensive weapons is the trapper, especially at start game. While it's not really a troop, we thought it should be mentioned. The trapper for Gauls provides a certain amount of traps per level. These traps are hidden, and cannot be seen by scout reports.
When you send a raid against a Gaul village, be wary of the traps!
One piece of advice for new players: The stronger troop types require more resources. So, the higher your productions, the less time you have to wait to train troops and upgrade buildings.
Infantry troops must be trained from the barracks, and cavalry from the stables. To get to your barracks, go to the village overview, and locate your barracks (after you have built a Barracks for yourself, of course!):
Mine happens to be here, where it's marked.
Click it, bringing you to this screen:
You should see listed all of the infantry troops you can train here. You will see the troop name, how many you have present, the resources required to train a single troop of that unit, the amount of time needed to train one unit, the options to NPC if you have gold, and the amount of troops to be trained/how many you can train. If you look at my legionnaires, I have 700 present, and can train a max of 32 currently. If you click this number, it will set the number to be trained as the max.
Now for cavalry units, go to the stable:
You should see the same options, just different troops.
For later on down the road, the rams and catapults (destructive units) you need to build the siege workshop. Senators, chiefs, chieftains (administrators), are trained from the palace or residency. More information will be included on administrators in next month's addition!
All troops (expect the basic units ie. clubbies, legionnaires, and phalanxes) must be researched in the Academy before they can be trained. THIS INCLUDES ADMINISTRATORS!!!

Posted on 8 June 2014 | 11:01 am
Why don't we go and look at that message we received a while ago.
Click on the piece of paper to the right and click on the message "Welcome to Travian".
Well, isn't that nice. Now that you have started playing, your beginner's protection has started to decrease, so it is a good idea to start building soon.
Editor's note: The length of beginner's protection increases as the server ages. Signing up on old servers gives a longer beginner's protection than signing up on newer servers, but is more dangerous.
Yes, I said it, we are actually going to build now! Yay for you! Lets head over to the village overview by clicking the button with all the little numbers in the coloured 6 sided squares.
Now that we are back to the village overview, take a look around the small picture there. Do you see the tan circles? Those are where your resources are coming from. Right now, you are not getting a lot from them, but as you level them higher, you will get more from them. Have more resources is what that message was talking about right? So lets level up one of our wheat fields. Do you see the the crop space that I circled red? Go ahead and click that.
This is your crop field. As you can obviously see, it is level 0, and is only producing 3 crop per hour. If we upgrade the cropland, it will produce 7 per hour (this is only the case on 1x speed servers, on 3x speed servers the production of the cropland will be higher - but as a beginner it's better to start on a 1x speed server!). I call that an improvement, don't you? Click on the green "Upgrade to level 1". This takes you back to the village overview, and if you look at the bottom of the page, you can see this:
Cropland (level 1) 0:02:30 hrs Ready at 07:03 pm
Well, you won't see exactly that, but you will see something close to it. As Travian is nice to beginners the first cropland is instantly finished as reward to the beginners tasks.
TADA! You now are the proud owner of a level 1 cropland! You can see that your crop production has increased, so that you are now making more crop per hour.
Hero's Mansion
Posted on 31 May 2014 | 1:30 pm
Prerequisites: Rally Point Level 1, Main Building Level 3
At levels 10, 15 and 20 of the hero's mansion, you can occupy an abandoned valley (oasis) using your hero, allowing up to three oases per village. Depending on the annexed oasis, you will get an increase of production for a certain resource (or even two with some oases).
You can see the following details in the hero's mansion:
- Overview in each mansion about own conquered oases of the selected village
- Overview in each mansion about all conquerable oases of the selected village
- Overview of the production bonus provided by each oasis is shown
- The owner of all conquerable oases is shown in the mansion
The level dependent attributes (such as construction costs and generated culture points) can be found {(building:gid=37,mb=1,speed=1,linkdescription=here)}.

Posted on 14 September 2013 | 8:36 am
Prerequisites: Main Building Level 5, Palace
The residence is a small palace where the king or queen lives when he or she visits the village. The residence protects the village against enemies who want to conquer it.
When a residence is already built in a village, the palace cannot be built there and vice versa. A residence can train three settlers/settlers/settlers or one chief/chieftain/senator at level 10 and 20 for settling or conquering new villages as described in the new villages page.
The tables below shows you the training costs for the expansion troops:

If there are 8 neighborhoods in 1 city then the level-3 sample size
would be 1! As a result you would throw a bunch of constants in your
model which does not make sense. Besides, a level-2 sample size of 8
is very small (at least for the standard likelihood based methods) and
is usually problematic with respect to point and variance estimates of
the fixed effects as well as the varying intercept/coefficient
variation. I believe this is discussed in any multilevel textbook.

Research Opportunities for Students
Students who have an interest in astronomy are encouraged to take advanced course work in the math and the physical sciences and talk to Dr. John Martin about engaging in a research project. Generally students must demonstrate an academic strength in the physical sciences and a strong interest and commitment in order to participate in a research project at the Barber Research Observatory.
Before joining or initiating a research project students will enroll in one hour of ASP 410 for a semester to be taken through an astronomy "boot camp." In that semester students will become familiar with the research tools available and conduct a small project (that may act as a lead-in to work in future semesters). Talk to Dr. Martin for more information.
There are astronomy research opportunities for UIS students through several avenues:
- CHE 400, credit bearing research for Chemistry majors
- ASP 410 directed open-ended astronomy research (contact Dr. Martin for information)
- The UIS AST internship program
Community Involvement
There is a strong tradition of community support for the Barber Research Observatory. A number of dedicated community volunteers regularly support our observing operations. If you live in the Springfield community and you have interest in volunteering at the observatory you need to make yourself known and demonstrate your interest and ability. Not all our volunteers have degrees in math or physics, but all of them have strong analytical skills and are good with learning the use of technology.
To get started you need to demonstrate your interest and ability to Dr. Martin. Community members are encouraged to take ASP 303 Modern Astronomy (offered now in the spring semester of odd-numbered years). Most are then asked to complete the same ASP 410 "boot camp" as interested UIS students. Contact Dr. Martin if you are interested.

Hi Jason! I've never been to Morocco to give you any valued advice, tho, here is a info link courtesy of Wiki!
(If you scroll down you will find the "Eat" section & they recommend you to dine at the Foodcourt Stalls as well! )
When I read you were visiting Morocco, I instantly thought of a Forum Member; the lovely late GeoffP (thinking of you too, Geoff, like Mada & Maree & All!) - I did a search & it was Cairo in Egypt that he travelled to, so, I had to google so I didn't get my "wires crossed"!
Enjoy your holiday in Marrakech, Jason! And, please let us know how your fabulous trip/experience in Africa went - when time permits, thank you!
Cheers; Kris
Happy New Year/2015 to you ALL! :-)

Re: Eating in Morocco
Hi JAW,
We set up a pop up restaurant in Marrakech last year. The food in Marrakech is amazing! so many amazing spices... the markets are incredible there, you will love it!
some of the best food there isnt in restaurants or cafes, it is found tucked away in little side streets near the market in the anchient part of the city (Medina)
We ate a brilliant meal in a Riad near the city centre I will post the adress so that you can check it out when you get there mate.
Riad Amira Victoria
12 derb el Baroud - Hart soura - Bab Kechich - Medina, Marrakesh, Morocco
Another brilliant place that I found was
Pepe Nero Restaurantmore
Douar Graoua
Marrakesh, Morocco
Let me know how you get on mate, all the best!

Tagines are amazing! beautifuly melt in the mouth lamb with cumin.... a marriage made in heaven! I had a beef with date and honey one too that was out of this world...
chimoula chicken too... you have to try that!... if you like spices and chilli
cous cous, flat breads, dried fruit, nuts, honey, spices... what is there not to like? Morrocan food really woke up my taste buds, their ability to combine spices with meat and fruit is fantastic!... you will love it there im sure

A street art project that has popped up in Central Auckland is inviting people to share their bucket list with the public.
"Before I die" is an interacitve urban art project that was born in New Orleans last year and has since spread as far as Kazakhstan, Madrid and the Netherlands.
Set up in St Patrick's Square by local architects Juan Molina and Sophie Isler, whose office looks down on the square, the chalkboard asks the public to share things they want to do before they die.
At 11am the board is already full with gems like "Before I die I want to make love to Kiki," "Be a Jedi" and "Stop cheating on the missus".
The board is cleared before midday each day so people lunching in the square can start afresh.
Isler says despite fears the project would be used for profanity, the response had been overwhelmingly positive.
The idea for the project came about after New Orleans artist and urban planner Candy Chang lost her father.
Chang painted the wall of an abandoned house in her neighbourhood with chalkboard paint and stencilled it with the sentence "Before I die I want to...." in a grid format where passers-by could share their hopes and dreams in a public space.
People around the world got wind of the project and Isler says "it's spread like wildfire."
"People started asking if they could start their own," she says.
Through a website set up by Ms Chang, anyone could order the stencils and set up a board.
Isler and Molina say they have had support from the council, the owner of the building and Resene, who supplied the paint.
"Before I die" will be up until December 22.
A book about the project will be published by St Martin's Press for release in 2012.

Free Range?
Hello, I wondered how important people think free range meat is? Does it concern you in terms of flavour as much as ethics?

Re: Free Range?
I feel that free range meat, allowed to live the life nature intended it to live with all the benefits to the animal and to the environment that ensue, is imperative for us all to eat. I firmly believe that it is better for the animal, for taste, for nutrition, for health and for the planet as a whole. I am lucky, and buy my meat directly from a local farmer, and so I know the provenance of each animal.
I also think that we should not confuse "organic" with free-range, pastured animals.

Re: Free Range?
YAY! glad to hear that, I'm exactly the same, I work for a company called Roaming Roosters who specialise in free range meats and having always had my meat from them I wondered what other people thought, so glad that you agree. For me it is purely down to taste, there is no comparison. Its funny how we seem to be looking to our past to be able to have a better future, if that makes sense.

Re: Free Range?
Me too, I think it's really important.
Mummza, organic also implies free-range - the organic standards require the animals be kept free-range under high welfare standards. Check out: http://www.soilassociation.org/whatisor … nicanimals
I only found this out recently. I'm not totally sold on organic for everything, but I will now be much more likely to buy organic labelled meat, for this reason alone.
Of course, that only applies in the UK. I have no idea what "organic" means elsewhere.

I ask though because I've been advised that a good practice for checking for swarm cells every 10-14 days is to just lift up the second chamber to see if there are swarm cells on the bottom bars, but to lift the bottom chamber every 10-14 days to make sure just seems even more invasive because you have to take apart the entire hive every time before lifting that last box up.

My sister's cat likes to help arrange the colors.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
My sister's cat likes to help arrange the colors.
I think she is saying...."there I think that's a better contrast"! Good job kitty~express yourself~
That kitty has awesome taste in fabric!
(¸.´(¸. (¸.´¸¸.¨¯`.¸¸.♥ rebecca
Very Pretty! Both cat and fabric.
She showed up at my sister's door when she was tiny. DS's grand daughter insisted she be named Ella. Which is her own name. So the cat's name is Ella.
That is too funny.. It reminds me of an incident last night.. I was cutting 1.5" squares for a swap I'm in, and left a trash bag on the floor near my feet.. Along came Socrates, and dropped his rawhide bone in the bag, and tried to bury it.. The next thing I knew.. His head was in the bag, and he was digging for gold to either bury it deeper, or trying to get it out.. His head popped out with scraps all over it, and scraps all over the floor.. I had to laugh, as he was really a good guy about me working..
Aren't our animals great! My cat, Roscoe some days won't let me sew or work/play with computer. Will lay right in front with head on my hand at computer, and in front the sewing machine.... Says... Love ME, not those machines!, I usually walk out of the sewing room to the computer and vice versa, Son says, shut the door to keep him out, but I just can't do that... lol.
Aren't our animals wonderful!
I have 2 brothers named Snickers & Skittles. Skittles just has to be in the middle of whatever I am doing esp in my sewing area. If I am trying to cut, he lays on the mat. If I go to my sewing machine, he lays behind it or beside it. If I try to read, he tries to lay on top of my book. And he is a talker & lets you know that he does not appreciate being moved. My sewing nook is in my laundry room so I have a nice little quilt that I lay on the washer but he will only lay there if the sun is shining through the window. Snickers on the other hand just stays to himself. All the kids just love "talking" to Skittles. But the funny thing is that he won't say a word after 9 pm! I swear that he is half human & understands everything.
Awe, how cute! And I like his/her layout the best!
If a woman's work is never done....why start?

[quote user="nevada11"][quote user="Redeyejedi"]Have U watched tape at all. Brockers is not explosive. He wasnt on the field on passing downs. What does that tell u
JPP has nothing to do with this at all. He isnt close to the same player as Brockers.[/quote]
its so easy to say that now because you have watched JPP pan out in the NFL. A lot of people thought jpp was gonna bust and was overrated too
Coming out of college JPP was praised for his upside! Why? The very one reason is because he had a verrrry rare wingspan and length. 81 inch wingspan and 36 inch arms! He was seen as an athletic freak coming out and had so much upside
Brockers has an even LONGER wingspan at 83 inches and 35 inch arms. He has amazing upside and is going to be great at rushing the passer in the nfl. He is very raw just like JPP coming out too. JPP showed flashes of greatness and so did Brockers. If JPP had so much upside coming out but Brockers doesnt?[/quote] For the life of me I cant figure out why you are comparing a 310 pound DT to a 270 pound DE as a valid comparison.
Have u seen Brockers play? In no shape way or form does he remind me of JPP. Its not because of how raw he is either. He just isnt the same kind of player .the only thing that they both have his length.Brockers reminds me of Chris Canty and in fact Id say Canty was quicker then Brockers at Virginia.
Im not even saying I dislike Brockers as a prospect just wouldnt rate a non pass rushing DT that high

Brady is NOT the greatest of all time, and he should stop strutting around like he is, since it just makes him look like a major ******.
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Let's not forget that the reason why Eli has become so proficient at the "4th QTR comeback" is because this D hasn't been able to hold leads for years!
Don't blame Eli just because he had a few bad games this year and couldn't pull a rabbit out of his hat every time.
Considering how many times he got the D out of hot water over the years and covered for their lousy days...it would have been nice if just once this season, the D could have returned the favor and held an opponent close, to give Eli and the O a fighting chance.
I bet if Brady's records in the last 10 years were with the Giants, most of us would be calling for his head. Losing the perfect season was kind of unforgivable. I think people should put themselves in other fans' shoes and really think seriously before thinking it is greener on the other side just because you make the playoffs every year. Since when making the playoffs became the ultimate prize? All it is is a chance to play for the trophy, but it ain't the trophy itself. Seriously, will you be happy going to the playoffs virtually every year, getting so close, and still fall short? I highly doubt so!
The Pats aren't good since Spygate? Brady isn't one of the greatest of all time?
You guys must have found a really good stash this weekend, because no sane, sober person would say those things, much less truly believe them. If I'm reading some of these responses correctly, some of you would rather the Giants miss the playoffs completely, rather than get so close repeatedly and lose.
I cant even.....fathom....that thought process, because it hurts my brain just to read it
I would like to get to the playoffs every year, but I ain't trading 2 Super Bowls for 10 years of playoff appearance with no Super Bowls.
They've won three and been to five - how on earth can that be seen as a negative?

The Look: Simple Lines and Straight Cuts
After much milling about in uncharted waters, wayward designers are finally coming home in terms of their cuts. Fall 2012 is all about getting back to the basics.
Tuesday we were talking colors and yesterday we went over patterns; today it's silhouettes, the way a particular style or cut can bring out the best of what our bodies have to offer. After all, our suits, our shoes, our shirts should be symbiotic and secondary; a lady should notice the man before she notices what he's wearing.
Two things are happening on that front this season: professional looks are getting slimmer, simpler, more minimalist than they have been in years past. Case in point: Massimo Dutti (above), who has gone back to a classic spread collar, a slim-but-simple and refined lapel and two buttons, which we'll take as a farewell to the daunting double breast. A form-fitting look whether it's layered or left alone and a kudos to even the strangest of contours.
But for the more daring, a second movement is afoot that for now we will simply call oversized. Bear with us; the silhouette is far from striking, not particularly our professional cup of tea, but we're prepared to concede that on the casual front, the look holds water (not literally, of course, though it may appear to do so.)
Take for example The Elder Statesman's Smoking Jacket, crafted from cashmere on century-old machines and complete with elephant print (who knew how high-end hipster trend could go?). It has all the air of academia without being over-the-top in its design, and it's oversized enough to indulge in one trend yet not so complicated as to scorn the other. In other words, it's safe.
But if you insist on dragging the oversized trend (kicking and screaming) into a professional setting, may we suggest you limit yourself to the odd (the truly odd) pair of pants or a pea coat. The folks over at Duchamp perhaps do it best; the texture of their Saxon Check Three-Piece (above, left) offers all the refinement and tailoring required of the modern gentleman, but the material allows for a wider cut in the leg without looking like you are swimming in the fabric.
Ditto this Burberry trench coat (above, center) that, though over-sized, has the sharp, straight lines to give it length.
Otherwise, you're looking for elongated cuts with little to no embellishment, something that goes straight down and stretches the body. It's a clean, clutterless look; certainly a cut above the rest.

AOL UK Wins Two Prestigious IPA Media Owner Awards
Nov 16, 2012
Earlier this week, the AOL UK sales team attended the IPA Media Owner Awards, where we won two awards for Most Innovative Online Campaign and Best Partner. Our team was also nominated for the Best Media Owner and Best At Innovation awards.
We won the Most Innovative Online Campaign for our Inspired by Iceland campaign, which was a huge cross-departmental effort in covering editorial, sales, publishing, creative solutions, research, go viral, Advertising.com and communications. It was our first sponsored channel on Huffington Post, the first Project Devil unit to use a live camera feed and our first Pan European campaign using our whole range of advertising products.
The Best Partner award is significant in that it is voted for by the advertising agencies in the IPA Spring and Autumn surveys. In the survey, we were the best received online publisher with agencies, marking a return to the top spot. The judges praised AOL stating:
"To understand why AOL does so well, you only need to look at the breadth and strength of their performance across all questions on the Spring and Autumn 2012 surveys. It is difficult to find any criteria in either survey where AOL does not appear in the Top Five places."

OCZ Plans to Cut 28% of Workforce; Still Working on FYQ2 Report
Shares of flash-memory storage technology developer OCZ Technology Group (OCZ) are down 9 cents, or almost 7%, at $1.26 in late trading after the company this afternoon said it would stop producing numerous product lines to streamling its business, and will cut its workforce by 28%.
The company said it is "making progress" in an investigation required before filing August-ending Q2 results, it said, though the effort has "taken longer than originally expected."
OCZ appointed CEO Ralph Schmitt earlier this month.
Schmitt remarked this evening, "We have already taken aggressive steps to address some short-term tactical challenges and have begun streamlining the organization to help ensure that OCZ will be in the best position moving forward to address the fast growing consumer and enterprise SSD markets."
Tonight's announcement follows OCZ's disclosure on October 15th that it would not file its 10-Q form for Q2 on time, which followed the company's preliminary report of Q2 on September 5th.
OCZ's "solid-state drives" compete with both flash-based and traditional drives from the likes of Seagate Technology (STX) and Western Digital (WDC).
Update: The shares are now up 4 cents, or almost 3%, at $1.39.

Note to All Prospective Interns
Subject: Application Process
The U.S. Department of Education always has internships available for interested students during all semesters and quarters of the school year including the summer. We are always interested in having student volunteers work in the agency to provide them with an experience that exposes them to government, public policy and work with responsibilities. I coordinate the internships within the agency. However, individuals may contact specific offices. The application is the same throughout the agency.
The attached material provides all prospective student volunteers/interns with the necessary information to apply for such a position. None of these positions are paid. If you are interested in a paid position, you must go through the agency's personnel office, but there are very few if any of these jobs.
Please get your application, letter and other materials submitted in a timely fashion so there is time to get you properly placed based on your interests and experiences. We try to place individuals based on their interests. Therefore, in your letter explain what type of work you want to do or your interests. This will help us in placing you. It would also be helpful to send a writing sample. Someone from an office in the Department will be contacting you by telephone or email as a follow up for a placement.
Internships are available in specific offices and programs as well as types of work. Some examples of types of work include:
- Policy Analysis
- Evaluation and Research
- Project and program management
- Finance
- Public Affairs and communications
- External Affairs and Intergovernmental Relations
- Legislative Affairs
- Technology systems
- Legal work
And some examples of specific topics or offices are:
- Elementary and Secondary Education
- Student Financial Aid
- Higher Education
- Special Education
- Vocational and Adult Education
- Civil Rights
- Bilingual Education
- Reading
- After-school programs
- Leadership and teacher development
- Safe and drug free schools
- International education
My recommendation is to send your completed materials six and eight weeks prior to your starting date. There are no deadlines but the more time we have to review the materials the better the opportunity to make a placement close to your interests. I look forward to receiving your application or applications from students in your program.
Office of Management
The Department of Education's mission is to promote student achievement and preparation for global competitiveness by fostering educational excellence and ensuring equal access.

The Fur (& Feather!) Flyer
Established in 1965, HAWS assists over 6,000 animals and welcomes more than 31,000 human visitors annually. As an "open admissions" shelter we lead the community in animal welfare and assure sanctuary for all animals in need, regardless of age, health or temperament. HAWS is a non-profit, entirely donor-fund organization with an active humane education program, and both wildlife and companion animal rescue services for Waukesha County.
HAWS License #267280-DS
Retired Brewer Jeff Cirillo & HAWS Team Up to Save Lives
HAWS and retired Brewer Jeff Cirillo are teaming up to raise money for our Behavior program. Bolstered by a generous kick-off donation, HAWS has been given 90 days to raise the matching funds in the $10,000 Matching Gift Behavior Rehabilitation Challenge.
"Many dogs are euthanized every year at shelters for their behavior and because of the lack of rehabilitation and retraining programs that can re-home them," noted Cirillo. "What if these dogs had a second chance? HAWS has developed an exceptional behavior program that boasts a 90% success rate – and just recently celebrated their 650th program graduate! Best of all, as a result of HAWS' Behavior department and Mod Squad program, more and more dogs are getting that second chance to find their forever homes and to live the life they deserve."
HAWS' Executive Director Lynn Olenik added: "Our Behavior Department is all about saving more lives. Our Mod Squad volunteers begin training the dogs while they are here, setting up boot camp for those pets that need a more rigorous program – from behavior modification to enrichment to exercise. We are doing everything possible to send home the best possible companion and save lives."
Now the community is being asked to join the Challenge, to help raise the additional funds needed to meet the $10,000 match. A donation of just $15 can cover a full day of kennel care for one of the HAWS' dogs in the program. A $27 donation pays for a treat puzzle box, and a $60 donation will support one dog through the entire program – and can be made in honor of the donor! For every dollar contributed, a dollar-for-dollar match will create that much more impact and save more lives.
Join HAWS' mission to continue this vital life-saving program. Donate by calling 262-542-8851, or log on to www.hawspets.org. Help rehabilitate those dogs who may have never received a second chance! All donations are tax deductible.

We set out at 8am for the drive across three States, which took around three hours. The drive itself was actually quite enjoyable as we went through some really nice scenery and past at least one Amish farm in Pensylvania (we spotted an Amish man driving a buggy across the field so I'm pretty certain it was his farm).
The park itself was fairly standard for a theme park, unsuprising as they're all build on the same forumula and UK ones modeled on the US, plenty of fast food and Hershey merchandise piled high everywhere, and my personal favourite...a road train from the car park all of 200m to the entrance! We jumped onto the first rollercoster we could see, the Comet, which was an older style wooden rollercoster, not a bad introduction for some of the others who weren't the biggest fan of rides
Throughout the course of the day we went on 5 rides in total, which doesn't sound like all that many but wasn't bad really. The longest que was about 1 and a half hours but for most we didn't have to wait more than 30 minutues, which I was really pleased with. All of the rides were brilliant, without doubt the best rollercosters I've been on, and a few of the others said they were much better than the ones back in the UK at Alton Park etc.
To finish up the day two of us headed into the Chocolate World, which had, amoungst other things, a huge gift shop, a Hershey food court and a 'Making of' ride. Seeing as it was free, and air conditioned we decided that this was a valid use of 20 minutes, cheesy though it was!

Transmittal Memorandum
|March 26, 1999
|State Directors of Vocational-Technical Education
State Directors of Community, Technical and Junior Colleges
State Tech-Prep Coordinators
|Patricia W. McNeil
|Distribution of Funds to Secondary School Programs in Fiscal Year 2000 and Succeeding Fiscal Years under Section 131(b) of Perkins III
I have attached a comprehensive memorandum regarding the within-State distribution of funds in FY 2000 under section 131(b) of Carl D. Perkins Vocational and Technical Education Act of 1998 (Perkins III). I want to briefly highlight the key points of this memorandum for you:
- The data required to distribute 70% of the secondary funds under Perkins III is not available from the Census Bureau.
- The Census Bureau's estimate of the relative number of children in poverty aged 5-17 for 1995-96 has a very high correlation with the data required by law to distribute the 70%.
- The Department will accept a State's substitution of the 5-17 data for the data required for distributing the 70% without further justification by the State.
- If a State wants to seek a waiver to use a different alternative formula, the State may use the 5-17 data as the point of comparison to justify that its proposed formula meets the more equitable distribution test.
While these are the major highlights, please review the attached memorandum in detail. If you have any questions or need additional information on these matters, please contact Mr. Jon Weintraub at (202) 205-5602.

My name is Manuel and, after being a long time lurker reading and watching your costumes, I've decided to form part of the Fett family supporters. I work as an Artistic and Technical drawing teacher and as a fine Arts restorer at home. If there's a weathering technique I can help or something "to look like"...Please, feel free to ask, I'll try to do my best!!!!!
My goal is to have a full Jango Fett costume (maybe Boba is in the horizon...) and spread this hobby between spanish fans to let them know how to own a full costume of their favorite character can become a reality.
Thank you for keeping this great site so alive, see you all around here!!!!!

Slow and steady sees the sights
Sophia Graham writes: "My Texan friend Kourtnee is always looking out for great deals to come to NZ. She sent me a text about a Groupon special offer with this description of Auckland: It read ... 'One of the best ways to see Auckland is from Waitemata Harbour; head to one of the city's many docks to take a harbour tour or simply hop on a docile sea turtle ...' I told her it was a slight misrepresentation ..."
Call in parking wardens for WoF checks
Tristan writes: "I've been reading about WoF changes and comments that police will need retraining and expensive equipment to be involved, I have a suggestion! Perhaps the Waitakere City parking wardens can train the police! My near new car complete with WoF and rego got a ticket while parked at the swimming pool complex for a tyre that looked unwarrantable! Cost, $150. How the warden was meant to know it was the spare was not the point. So if a lowly warden can make this call, surely a highly trained officer can do the same.
I do wonder if the warden checked my ball joints and CV boots while he was at it though?"
$120 to toss a frisbee
Yoav Silverstein and some of his friends would gather on Fridays to toss around a frisbee at a park in Glen Eira, Melbourne. But a city official stopped them one day and told them they would have to get a permit and pay $120 if they wanted to keep playing an organised sport. That's just for one day. A six-month permit will cost more than $300. (Source Reason.com)
Captain caught out
Who's flying the plane? Er, nobody! When a pilot for Dutch airline Transavia returned from the bathroom, he realised that he was locked out of the Boeing 737 cockpit, with the first officer inside asleep! According to a Dutch Safety Board report, the pilot stepped out of the cockpit to take a bathroom break about 2 hours into the flight. When he returned a short time later, the pilot used an intercom to ask his first officer to open the door. There was no answer. Eventually, the pilot alerted the crew and was able to open the door himself. That's when he found the first officer asleep, according to the report.

New York, May 23, 2012--Iranian authorities have sentenced an editorial cartoonist to 25 lashes, yet another low point in a three-year-long crackdown against the press that also includes two new imprisonments and the suspension of a monthly.
New York, February 28, 2012--The Iranian regime continued its persistent campaign against press freedom days ahead of its parliamentary elections on March 2 by sentencing two journalists to prison and periodically blocking millions of users from accessing the Internet, according to news reports. In addition, two journalists are suffering from deteriorating health conditions in prison, news reports said.
Do you believe the free flow of information must be protected? Sign the #RightToReport petition and demand that President Obama immediately:

@michellemalkin: Well. MT @NY4Mitt Anderson Cooper says Obama/Crowley were wrong on #Libya statement. #Benghazi not called act of terror in Rose Garden
One of the most talked about moments in tonight's debate was when Candy Crowley "fact checked" Mitt Romney on Libya. Make no mistake, this was an attempt to cover for President Obama, who has been bleeding on the issue all week.
However, when confronted about it after the debate, she started to backtrack.
Of course, I'm with RedState founder Joshua Treviño:
PROTIP: Correct yourself onscreen, Candy. You know, where it matters.
If she'd really cared about this–and it sounds like she knew about this as she was saying it during the debate–she would have corrected herself during the debate, when the people were still watching.
EDIT: (via @seanmdav) Back on September 28th, Crowley was saying that the Obama administration needed to explain why they didn't call what happened in Libya a terrorist attack. The CNN transcript tells all:
"The question I think too is what you asked and Peter King wouldn't play, but the idea is why would you be so adamant? When most people look and said, well of course it's a terrorist attack. I mean, they had you know large weaponry. It's not something you bring to a protest. And now we're finding out there might not even have been a protest at the time this attack took place. So I think there are lots of questions to be answered here that the administration is going to have to talk about."
I'm betting the media's not going to call her on this, and they'll let her admission that Romney was essentially right about Libya slide as well. We have to make sure this kind of information gets out there.
Just admit Mitt lost the debate. He got beat up by a black man.
Just admit Mitt lost the debate. He got beat up by a black man.
He got beat up by a black man
quote:Totally true. And totally a propaganda technique. BHO and his Chicago Machine are aces, and with their MSM enablers, they get away with it. Richard Nixon was an amateur compared to these guys.
He generalized it. He never called the attack in Libya an act of terror. It them two weeks to "officially" declare it an act of terror.
He generalized it. He never called the attack in Libya an act of terror
Do you not understand the term "acts of terror"? Let me guess.... The transcript is altered. The President knew this might come up weeks later so he went back and altered thousands of transcripts across the Internet. Good (whatever fake higher being you believe in). It's right there in black and white.

Juventus manager Antonio Conte leapt to the defence of his side, following criticism over their stuttering recent performances.
The reigning Serie A champions are undefeated in the league this season, with five wins and one draw from their opening six matches.
But many of their performances have left plenty to be desired, particularly in the UEFA Champions League.
Their start in Europe's premier competition has seen them held 1-1 by Copenhagen before they had to settle for a draw with Galatasaray at the Juventus Stadium on Wednesday.
However, Conte defended his side's record, although claimed he is not surprised by the criticism.
"I believe that we have played with great enthusiasm in the last two years and we can still amaze people this year," he said.
"I'm not surprised by the fact that everyone is trying to destabilise the situation.
"I expected this. About a month and a half ago I talked about the difficulties we would have this year and among those difficulties, I included this kind of situation.
"We shouldn't forget that last year - just like this year - Juventus has been the team that started the best. We won five matches and drew one match.
"The same happened last year, but this year it seems like we lost three matches.
"But this is the enemy that is hidden everywhere. We know this because, as I've already said, we expected this situation, so I'm not surprised."

Israel's assassination of Hamas military chief Ahmed Al-Jaabari on Wednesday sparked another tragic round of bloodletting in the Middle East. Civilians on both sides suffered. But this time, the conflict took a surreal, technological turn as both sides took to social media in an online war of words and images.

I think the hate comes from the fact that he has "Manning" in his name...
The old "Manningham is dumb" gags. Friggin boring people. Its been done to death. (and its also nonsense)
Lets come up with something more original.
"Typical Morehead!"..................and he didn't even mean that as a compliment..
this thread has basically guaranteed that MM is gonna burn us Sunday.
My 5 year old son right before the kickoff of the Super Bowl 46: Dad, are the Giants gonna win?
Burier: Yes.
My 5 year old son right before the kickoff of Super Bowl 46: Do you promise?
Burier: Yes. I promise.
Instead of "Omaha", Eli will use "Mario" for this week's game.
Mario is so dumb that he has to travel to EIGHT different castles to find the princess...
I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite team in the NFL.
Look, I will always love Manningham for what he did in the Super Bowl, but he's not the sharpest knife in the drawer. I honestly don't think it was Eli's fault when Mario ran the wrong pattern, which he had a tendency to do at times.
What is wrong with you people?
You do realize that Mario Manningham being dumb and running the wrong route is all Eli's fault?
Everything that has been wrong on this team since he got here including the softer than bird **** defensive line we have is all Eli's fault.
Heck, it is even Eli's fault that JPP threw Prince in the ice bath.

Midshipmen Answer the Call for Blood Donations
POSTED ON: Monday, March 24, 2014 8:00 AM by Midshipman 1st Class Colleen Randolph
The Naval Academy hosts a number of Armed Forces Blood Drives throughout the academic year, but the unusual amount of snow this year has caused two cancellations, and the Armed Services Blood Bank Center feared a major setback in vital blood donations.
With 100 percent of donations going to wounded warriors, presidential staff, various U.S. bases, or those deployed overseas, donations from the United Stated Naval Academy Blood Drive are vital.
It is no surprise that this month, midshipmen stepped up and answered the call for donations.
"I donate because there are those in need, those who have already have given their own blood for our country," said Midshipman 1st Class Colin Shuhlein.
Shuhlein's sentiment was shared among all the donators, midshipmen who know that someday they might be that service member in need or simply feel that donating blood regularly is the right thing to do.
"We should take every opportunity that we can to help those to our left and to our right who have already given so much. It's one of the ways we survive as a unit and as brothers and sisters in arms," said Shuhlein, who was among the midshipmen to step up and donate blood in March.
Giving blood comes naturally to the midshipmen. Last semester the Naval Academy midshipmen, faculty and staff had the highest recorded donations out of all of all naval installations.
More than 100 usable units were donated to the blood bank in their time of need.
"The combat warrior blood drives are a perfect way to give back in a tangible, 'real world' sense," said Midshipman 1st Class Alexander Clark. "Since all donations go to a variety of wounded warriors and those deployed overseas, it is an easy way to support fellow military members and their mission."
"This year was an enormous success with almost twice as many donations as our previous drives," said Clark.
