Aylssa, I can't tell if you are trolling or not, but if you aren't keep in mind that they are planning to release new content every six weeks, so I wouldn't expect huge amounts of new stuff every time. You will get your new WZ soon, and then something else soon after that, etc.
WoW having more subs than SWTOR is the same thing as Justin Bieber having more youtube plays than Tupac. Just because its more popular doesn't mean its good.
Warcraft Lore has gone from one of the most vast and interesting stories in all of gaming to a bad Thrall Fanfic by Chris Metzen.
SWTOR Referral link: http://www.swtor.com/r/2MpjV9 7 free days and other free stuff.
And keep in mind, since at the moment I don't raid, the only thing this patch offers me is some gear tweaks. (I guess I have to go gear up my offhand stuff now.)
The 4 nightmare bosses in EC drop same item level loot and are part of the same set as the new HM TFB bosses. They have said that they have made nightmare EC by looking at HM strategies and making it so those strats no longer work and you will have to develop new ones. So yes it counts as 9 new bosses.
I like the ability to sell items back to vendors or trade BOP items for 2hours. I have bought the wrong items so many time as I'm usually not concentrating when buying items and get the wrong set eg Eliminator set instead of Combat Tech for my PT.
If you think otherwise I'll be sure to remember that when comparing to WoW and count their boss encounters as separate content for each difficulty, Blizzards content will grow exponentially making BW's content delivery look even worse in comparison, just sayin'.
Well... after clearing TFB on Story, I can say that this is DEFINITELY fun. Going into Hardmode tomorrow so I'll let ya know if its more challenging than in comparison to EC. Judging by the current mechanics I'm willing to bet its going to be pretty difficult.
I'm thrilling to have two (semi-)new ops where my comp have to make new strategies.
@ forsedar, gibe us a stream
Wildstar Black Ops - loved by strangers
I don't know about streaming just yet We're aiming for World Firsts so we don't want to give away our strats! I may start streaming once we get our ranking in place.
I am happy they are finally adding the "hide companion headpiece" thing(also the color coordinate companion gear).
Lets just make it easy and call new stuff new and old stuff old, this patch delivers one new raid with five new bosses, nothing more, nothing less.
I wasnt aware the new warzone was not aimed for 1.4. thats a pretty big downer for me, as I am not that active at raiding right now, I only cleared the story mode denove twice. I hope at least hk-51 will make it and that 1.5 will come soon with ancient hypergate and x-realm warzones.
I am actually pleased with the patch notes. Some QOL stuff I didn't know they would actually ever get around to, like the companion armor or returning to where you came from in the group finder. Definitely makes it a lot easier to play the game. I got suckered into renewing my sub because my guild needed me for HM Kephess last night, but it was fun so it will be worth it. I just hope 1.4 hits sooner rather than later or else the glamour will quickly fade.
I didn't see it in the patch notes but was able to tell last night that my Jedi Knight no longer had a huge ass.
Clearly he has had some liposuction.
Hey guys! This is a fast guide for the first boss in the new operation. I post it here to help those that want to try it in the PTS. I hope it's helpful

FUEL CYCLE TO NOWHERE: U.S. Law and Policy on Nuclear Waste. Richard Burleson Stewart and Jane Bloom Stewart. xviii + 427 pp. Vanderbilt University Press, 2011. $65.
The vexing problem of what to do with spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste in the United States is still unresolved, and a solution now seems more distant than it did a few years ago. The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) worked for many years to plan and gain approval for a deep geologic repository (one mined deep into a geological formation) at Yucca Mountain, Nevada. In 2009, the Obama administration abandoned the project, claiming that public acceptance would never rise to levels that would enable the site's implementation. In its stead, the administration established the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future, with the goal of learning from past mistakes in the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle and suggesting a new policy strategy with which to move forward.
Into this situation Richard Burleson Stewart and Jane Bloom Stewart have launched their book, Fuel Cycle to Nowhere, hoping to impact the work of the Blue Ribbon Commission (BRC). The authors are members of the Consortium for Risk Evaluation with Stakeholder Participation, a multi-university group that is supported by the DOE. As a member of the BRC, I can say that although the Stewarts' book did not have any direct influence over our recommendations, each group came up with a surprisingly similar set of policy suggestions.
Fuel Cycle to Nowhere is an ambitious book, covering both the history of nuclear waste policy in the United States and the broad range of this policy, from the early history of the Atomic Energy Commission's first forays into nuclear waste policy in the 1950s to a detailed discussion of the events surrounding the establishment and eventual collapse of policy supporting a repository at Yucca Mountain. It also covers low-level radioactive waste policy, transuranic waste policy, waste classification schemes and the transport of waste material.
One significant but less well-known story the book highlights is that of the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, or WIPP, near Carlsbad, New Mexico. WIPP, which opened for business in 1999, is the only operating deep geological repository for nuclear waste in the world. Transuranic wastes from the U.S. nuclear weapons complex—the plutonium-contaminated gloves, booties and equipment that present a long-lived but low-activity hazard—are contained in simple 55-gallon steel drums and emplaced underground. These materials are shipped by truck to the site (there have been more than 10,200 shipments to date) and carried over 2,000 feet underground, into the bedded salt of the Salado Formation.
The importance of the story of WIPP is this: Although the state and antinuclear groups opposed the site for years, it is now accepted by the state and especially by local residents and is generally considered a success. WIPP was proposed in the 1970s by local inhabitants, who were suffering the economic impacts of the decline of the nearby potash-mining industry. New Mexico policy makers were wary of the dump site, but through a variety of state and federal laws and legal agreements with the DOE (the entity developing the repository), it received the assurances necessary to allow WIPP to eventually open. These safeguards included limiting the contents of the repository to transuranic wastes from the weapons complex and formally excluding high-level wastes and spent nuclear fuel. They also included oversight of mixed waste—material that is both chemically and radioactively hazardous. Oversight of the environmental health and safety risks of nuclear material is denied to states by the Atomic Energy Act, but it was provided to New Mexico through the Resource, Conservation, and Recovery Act, which gives the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency authority to provide oversight of mixed waste. The DOE also addressed a constellation of issues that were of deep concern to the state, such as the need to build bypass routes to avoid major city centers on waste transport routes. These issues were dealt with piecemeal over time, reflecting flexibility and an improvisational approach that in the end succeeded.
The authors contrast the experience of WIPP with the history of Yucca Mountain, which is perhaps the very definition of a prescribed and predetermined repository-siting policy. With the 1987 amendments to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, Congress designated Yucca Mountain as the only site that the DOE could investigate and characterize as a potential repository. In doing so, Congress created intense political pressure to find the site suitable. Nevada, in response, was relentless in its fight against becoming the "nation's nuclear waste dump" and, as the Stewarts describe, always maintained a "scorched earth opposition." The state brought a raft of lawsuits, some that successfully set back the site by years.
Fuel Cycle to Nowhere concludes with a plan to revise the back end of the nuclear fuel cycle in the United States—the management of spent nuclear fuel and waste materials as well as the decommissioning of nuclear facilities. The authors affirm the need for at least one more geologic repository, if not more. They note that both public trust and the assent of the host community and state are essential to success. Oversight by the affected state should be assured, as should the state's role in facility decision making. To increase the likelihood that the hosts will agree to the site, they write, several steps are necessary. Adequate compensation is needed, as is a guarantee that the host state will receive compensation for conducting its own technical analyses of the site. Developing scientifically supportable standards for site evaluation will be necessary, as will independent technical oversight of the facility. The public's ability to access all information about the plan should be assured, as should the way in which decisions about the site are reached. The process of siting and site development should occur with enough flexibility to deal with issues as they appear. Until 2009, the DOE managed the interim storage of high-level waste, the transportation and the final disposal of these materials through its Office of Civilian and Radioactive Waste Management. The Stewarts suggest that a new entity, perhaps modeled on a federal corporation, would be more successful. Finally, they note that the current funding mechanism for nuclear waste disposal is broken and needs to be fixed.
The members of the BRC, which came out with its final report on January 26, 2012, agree with all of the above conclusions, and many of those conclusions form the basis of our eight overall recommendations. The top three are as follows: to establish a new consent-based, transparent, adaptive, staged, standards- and science-based approach to siting that is governed by partnership arrangements or legally enforceable agreements with states; to establish a new organization dedicated solely to manage waste storage, transportation and disposal; and to provide assured access to waste funds by making both future revenues generated by the Nuclear Waste Fund and the existing balance of the fund ($25 billion) available when they are needed. Congressional legislation is necessary to fix the nuclear waste morass that currently exists in the United States, but the experience of WIPP has shown us it can be done.
Fuel Cycle to Nowhere is a comprehensive guide to the laws and legal issues that are major facets of nuclear waste policy in the United States. Sometimes it seem too comprehensive—the book suffers from a serious case of redundancy and would have been served by heavier editing. It is well referenced (the notes themselves take up 81 pages), although there are a number of disturbing mistakes in the technical data and historical facts reported sprinkled throughout the text. Examples include the claim in the introduction that there was a 40-year moratorium on spent nuclear fuel reprocessing in the United States. In fact, Presidents Ford and Carter indefinitely deferred federal support for reprocessing. President Reagan reversed this decision, but no reprocessing facilities were ever constructed, because the price tag of these facilities is enormous. In the discussion of low-level nuclear waste, the authors say that North Carolina left the Southeast Compact (an alliance of states formed to deal with low-level radioactive waste disposal) to join the Atlantic Compact. North Carolina did not join the Atlantic Compact—but South Carolina did. Despite these problems, the book is useful in that it locates in one place a discussion of the policy processes around WIPP and Yucca Mountain.
In the United States, the process of nuclear waste disposal is more than just a collection of laws and legal battles—it rightfully combines politics, public acceptance, technical issues and economic choices against a background of state versus federal rights. The continuing saga of nuclear waste makes the production of electricity by nuclear power a more complicated and ambiguous option than many competing electric power technologies.
Allison Macfarlane is a professor of environmental science and policy at George Mason University in Fairfax, VA. Her research focuses on environmental- policy and international-security issues associated with nuclear energy. She is the editor of Uncertainty Underground: Yucca Mountain and the Nation's High-Level Nuclear Waste (The MIT Press, 2006), which explores the unresolved technical issues for nuclear waste disposal at Yucca Mountain, Nevada.

About a year ago I suddenly had a bunch of time on my hands. I'd already built a mando, but I really wanted to do an ESB Fett. The idea initially was a scratch budget build, but inevitably, when cash flow permitted, I just had to get my hands on some of the awesome work by these craftspeople from every corner of the globe. It's such a cool international community.
The fett list of ingredients so far:
Man of War boots, gloves and vest.
Arkady flightsuit and pouches.
RKD chest armour and knees.
Woodman cape and braids.
TK409 chest display.
Fenix dart launchers and wrist darts.
Trooper bay decals.
99 cent taco ammo belt.
Bobamaker MQ1.
Boba Trooper gauntlets (painted too by Bobatrooper.. Thanks Dave).
The jetpack I got busted up second hand, and gave it a general pimping. I think it might be related to older golden armor vacuform packs but not sure.
Scratch built remaining armour parts, EE3, sidearm, holster, toe spikes, harness, buckle, girth belt, shin tools and bucket I cast myself from molds sourced locally.
Painted and weathered with some artistic licence by yours truly, using references from here.

Is New York in play? Update: Obama loses 13 points since June
posted at 8:30 am on September 15, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
According to the New York Post, internal polling by both Democrats and Republicans show Barack Obama beginning to fade in New York. Once considered an unassailable bastion for Democrats, the Empire State has narrowed to a potential catastrophe for them, all the way down the ticket. Polls out today will show a significant gain for John McCain, and a nightmare for Obama:
BOOSTED by the selection of Sarah Palin as his running mate, Republican John McCain has experienced a surge of support among women in heavily Democratic New York state – where he has closed the gap with Barack Obama, new private polls show.
The internal Republican and Democratic polls, details of which were provided to The Post, have stunned members of both parties – and produced deep worries among Democrats. …
The private polls have consistently shown the Obama-Biden ticket still leading but with less than 50 percent of the vote in a state where Democrats outnumber Republicans by over 2.3 million voters.
The last Siena poll had Obama only up by eight in August. Apparently, that margin has narrowed even further, a shocking result for a Northeastern state considered a lock for Democrats. The McCain campaign may start spending money in New York if the results get further confirmed by public polls due out today and later this week.
What happened? The Post credits the selection of Sarah Palin as McCain's running mate, but the snub of their Senator by Obama for the other position may have created a backlash among New Yorkers. The tax problems of Charlie Rangel may have contributed to the falling fortunes of Democrats, and the Post forgets that this is the first election since Eliot Spitzer's resignation over his affairs with high-priced hookers. If the Republican brand suffered nationally, the Democratic brand isn't doing well in New York now, and the reform rhetoric of Obama isn't convincing voters there.
If Obama loses his grip on New York, he can't possibly win the election. If he has to sink a large amount of money in New York, he'll have to take it from his efforts in battleground states, and he'll have to cut his face time in places like Michigan, Ohio, Colorado, and Minnesota. That's a recipe for defeat, both financially and electorally.
Just a week ago, his campaign shrugged off the national polls by asserting that the state polls were what counted. As this shows, the national polls provide a pretty good barometer about what one can expect in the states. If New York becomes a toss-up, Obama can kiss his White House aspirations good-bye.
Update: The Siena poll of likely voters in New York shows just how bad Obama has fared. He lost 13 points off his lead since clinching the nomination, and now barely leads outside the margin of error — and can't get to a majority:
Seven weeks until Election Day, the race for President has tightened in New York, with Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) leading Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) 46-41 percent among likely voters, according to a new Siena (College) Research Institute poll released today. Obama's five point lead is down from eight points in August, 13 points in July and 18 points in June, when he led 51-33 percent. On a series of six questions concerning current issues in the campaign – economy, Iraq, terrorism, health care, America's position in the world, and education – likely voters believe Obama will do a better job on four. Conversely, out of six attributes voters often look at in choosing a candidate – compassion, patriotism, experience, intelligence, integrity, and leadership – New York's electorate gives the edge to McCain on four.
"Although New York has long been regarded as a 'safe' state for the Democrats in presidential politics, likely voters in the Empire State are currently only giving Senator Obama a five-point cushion," said Steven Greenberg, spokesman for the Siena New York Poll. "The conventions are over. The running mates are set. And as voters begin to focus on the race, New York's overwhelming Democratic enrollment advantage is not reflected in how voters tell Siena they plan to vote."
McCain has made significant gains in New York largely on national security and personal attributes. He wins on terrorism, 54-33, and edges Obama in ensuring American strength, 47-41. McCain obliterates him on personal qualities, especially patriotism (59-21), experience (73-18), and perhaps most unsettling for Team O, integrity (43-38).
Update: Obama lost 13 points on an 18-point lead, not 18 points. My apologies for the confusion.

Argentina Legalises Gay Marriage
Argentina has become the first Latin American nation to legalize same-sex marriages following a marathon Senate vote.
The law, backed by the center-left government of Cristina Kirchner, the president, was adopted in a 33-27 vote after 15 hours of debate ending early Thursday morning. Hundreds of people outside Congress cheered as the bill was passed, while Miguel Pichetto, leader of the ruling party, said it was "a historic day". But a group of protesters, including priests showing images of the Virgin Mary, prayed outside the building as the legislation was debate.
The Roman Catholic Church had led mass demonstrations against the bill, with its officials describing it as "the devil's project". 'Step forward' On Wednesday police had to separate opposing groups protesting outside the Senate who hurled eggs and oranges at each other. Adolfo Rodriguez Saa, former president, said: "Argentina has taken a step forward, but out in the street ... it will take time for hatred and resentment to heal." The law is sure to bring a wave of marriages by gays and lesbians who have increasingly found Buenos Aires to be more accepting than many other places in the region.
Nine gay couples had already married in Argentina after persuading judges that the constitutional mandate of equality supports their marriage rights, but some of these marriages were later declared invalid. Same-sex civil unions have been legalized in Uruguay, Buenos Aires and some states in Mexico and Brazil, while Mexico City has legalized gay marriage.
Colombia's Constitutional Court granted same-sex couples inheritance rights and allowed them to add their partners to health insurance plans. But Argentina now becomes the first country in Latin America to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide, granting gays and lesbians all the same rights and responsibilities that heterosexuals have.
These include many more rights than civil unions, including adopting children and inheriting wealth. Gay rights advocates said Argentina's historic step adds momentum to similar efforts around the world.

Apple's shares swallow biggest loss in four years
By Ryan Vlastelica and Poornima Gupta
NEW YORK/SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - Apple Inc shares tumbled more than 6 percent on Wednesday, chalking up their biggest single-day loss in four years as fears grow about intensifying competition in the mobile device market.
Investors and analysts blamed the sell-off on a mix of factors, including a forecast by an influential research firm that the iPad maker is continuing to cede ground to rival Google Inc's Android gadgets, and unconfirmed reports that at least one major stock-clearing house was raising margin requirements on Apple stock trades.
Analysts also cited fears about a hike in the capital gains tax in 2013 in the event that ongoing Washington fiscal negotiations fail, as well as news that Nokia had beat Apple to the punch by striking a deal to sell its flagship Lumia through China Mobile, that country's largest wireless carrier.
Wednesday's drop rounded off a bleak 10 weeks for the most valuable U.S. company.
The stock was one of the day's biggest percentage losers on the S&P 500, shedding $35 billion of market value as more than 37 million shares changed hands -- blowing past the company's average daily volume over 50 days of 21 million.
Apple's shares, once among the most desirable of portfolio holdings, have headed steadily lower since September on growing uncertainty about the company's ability to fend off unprecedented competition. This year saw a surge in sales of Amazon.com Inc's cheaper Kindle Fire and Microsoft Corp's first foray into the tablet market with its Surface.
Meanwhile, Samsung Electronics continues to chip away at the iPad's dominance with its Galaxy line.
The assault on Apple's consumer-electronics home turf presents a stiff challenge for CEO Tim Cook, who was elevated shortly before the death of Silicon Valley legend Steve Jobs and is now charged with keeping the world's largest technology company humming. Continued...

A permit to hunt an endangered African black rhino sold for $350,000 at a Dallas auction held to raise money for conservation efforts but criticised by wildlife advocates.
Steve Wagner, a spokesman for the Dallas Safari Club, which sponsored the closed-door event Saturday night, confirmed the sale of the permit for a hunt in the African nation of Namibia. He declined to name the buyer.
The Safari Club's executive director, Ben Carter, has defended the auction, saying all money raised will go toward protecting the species. He also said the rhino that the winner will be allowed to hunt is old, male and nonbreeding and that the animal was likely to be targeted for removal anyway because it was becoming aggressive and threatening other wildlife.
But the auction drew howls from critics, including wildlife and animal rights groups, and the FBI said it was investigating death threats against members of the club.
Officials from the Humane Society and the International Fund for Animal Welfare have said that while culling can be appropriate in abundant animal populations, all black rhinos should be protected given their endangered status.
An estimated 4,000 black rhinos remain in the wild, down from 70,000 in the 1960s. Nearly 1,800 are in Namibia, according to the Safari Club.
Critics have said any hunting of a rhino sends a bad message to the public. "This auction is telling the world that an American will pay anything to kill their species," Jeffrey Flocken, North American regional director of the Massachusetts-based IFAW, said. "This is, in fact, making a spectacle of killing an endangered species."
The auction took place in downtown Dallas under tight security. Organisers hoped to at least break the previous high bid for one of the permits in Namibia, which was $223,000, and had said the amount could be as high as $1m. The nation offers five permits each year, and the one auctioned on Saturday was the first to be made available for purchase outside Namibia.
The winning bidder could have come from anywhere in the world and at least some bidders were expected to enter by phone.
About 40 protesters gathered early Saturday evening outside the convention centre where the auction and a pre-auction dinner were to take place. They held signs and chanted.
"There's less than 5,000 black rhinos left on the planet," said Jim Ries, who travelled with his family from Atlanta to protest, "and if our kids ever want to see a rhino left in the wild we can't be pulling the trigger on every one we say is too old to breed."
Poachers long have targeted all species of rhino, primarily for its horn, which is valuable on the international black market. Made of the protein keratin, the chief component in fingernails and hooves, the horn has been used in carvings and for medicinal purposes, mostly in Asia. The near-extinction of the species also has been attributed to habitat loss.

You can move a counter from any point to any adjacent empty point along a line (the only points allowed being those occupied at the start and the centre point).
If an adjacent place is occupied by an opponent's piece and the next point beyond is empty, then the player can capture the opponent's piece by jumping over it and remove it from the board.
If another piece is then at risk it is taken in the same move by jumping over it, a change of direction being allowed.
If a piece can make a capture it must do so and if it does not do so it is 'huffed' and removed from the board.
If there is a choice of capture, the greater number must be taken in preference to the lesser, otherwise the capturing piece is 'huffed'.
The winner: is the player who captures the most counters from the other player.

for Jacobs? (edit: I meant jacobs now, but didn't know we were past trade deadline already...)
He's doing absolutely nothing over there. All their other RBs panned out (part of the reason they got Jacobs was for insurance against Hunter and Dixon). You can bet this wasn't what Jacobs had in mind when he left over 500k. He'd probably bite on a vet min deal just so he could get one last hurrah on the field. He knows our blocking schemes.

>Michael, on packages you free release, or at least sometimes you free release. How long do you recommend the bees be with the queen if you plan on free releasing. The reason I ask is that I'm getting a package that supposedly will have been made up in the previous 24 hours. That seems like too short a time to free release.
The mentality of a package is entirely different from an established colony. A package only needs about two hours. A package is a bunch of bees shaken together, often from different hives, who find themselves homeless and queenless. In two hours they will pretty much accept any queen. The mentality of an established colony is they are home things are fine, they figured out their queen is missing in about 2 hours and they start fanning Nasonov hoping to lead her home. They are not desperate for a queen. The have a colony with brood and eggs, they can make a queen if they need to, but they would like to get theirs back. You put a queen in a cage in and they aren't quite sure what to do. Some will want to attack her and some will want to take care of her. After a day they are probably more on the side of accepting her. But four days is a safer bet. If you are in doubt about them accepting the queen, you can always leave them in the package an extra day. You could even set the package in the hive so it gets the Nasonov smell in it, and then release them all the next day. You can leave the queen in the cage if you like, but you have to realize it almost guarantees a messed up comb. With foundation, it's usually just one messed up comb. With foundationless one messed up comb leads to another and you end up with a total mess.

This type of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) test measures the specific level of HCG in the urine. HCG is a hormone produced in the body during pregnancy.
Other HCG tests include:
Beta-HCG - urine; Human chorionic gonadotropin - urine
To collect a urine sample, you urinate into a special (sterile) cup. Home pregnancy tests require the test strip to be dipped into the urine sample or passed through the urine stream while urinating. Carefully follow package directions.
Usually a urine sample taken the first time you urinate in the morning is best. This is when urine is the most concentrated and has enough HCG to be detected.
No special preparation is needed.
The test involves urinating into a cup or onto a test strip.
Urine HCG tests are a common method of determining if a woman is pregnant. The best time to test for pregnancy at home is after you miss your period.
A pregnancy test, including a properly performed home pregnancy test, is considered to be very accurate. Positive results are more likely to be accurate than negative results. When the test is negative but pregnancy is still suspected, the test should be repeated in 1 week.
There are no risks, except for false positive or false negative results.

Now that the school year has kicked off and students, teachers, and parents have gotten adjusted to the rigors of the school day, Adairville School is looking to add a little something extra to the education of its students. As a "Leader in Me School," Adairville participates in a program designed at nurturing the development of autonomous, self-motivated students who can both lead as well as work collaboratively with others. Based on the works of Stephen Covey and formed around the seven essential habits of highly effective people, the "Leader in Me" program is an intricate part of the day-to-day operations at Adairville.
Using the "Leader in Me" program as a guide, Adairville School kicked off its "Sharpen the Saw" Fridays. "Sharpen the Saw" refers to one of the seven habits in the "Leader in Me" program and is aimed at expanding student horizons beyond conventional academic study and involving them in activities that bolster physical and fine-motor skill development. Teachers and staff volunteer to offer a variety of activities that students sign up for and spend an hour on Fridays participating in. These outside the box opportunities offer students a chance to learn, participate, and get hands-on experience in topics they are interested in learning more about.
Students in grades 5-8 are able to join groups like Mr. Mike Brindley's Campus Service Team. Here they learn about the school and how it is run, see what goes into the upkeep of the school, and they are empowered to participate in activities aimed at bettering the upkeep of the school as a whole. For students with a crafty side, there is Mrs. Bouldin's Hair Braiding group, Mrs. Hendricks Scrapbooking group, Mrs. Garrett's Paper Quilling group or Mrs. Robertson's Cross Stitching group, all of which expose students to new and practical skills and hobbies. If outdoors is more students' speed, they can join Mrs. Stevenson-Laurent's Nature Hike group or work on the beautification of the front of the school with Nurse Jane. Artistic talents are given the chance to be expressed in Mrs. Dossett's Canvas Painting group or Mr. Justin Kirby's Post-It Note Art group.
For the younger students in the building, it's creativity and fun with Mrs. Potter's Magic Tree House club or a variety of dancing groups, which are sponsored by Mrs. Cooper and Mrs. Morgan. Younger students often love animals, and Mrs. Shanklin's Farm Animals group gets to indulge in just that while Mrs. Robinson gets students on their feet with a Cross Country Running group.
In addition to the mentioned clubs, Adairville School has 17 additional clubs and activities for students to take part in during the "Sharpen the Saw" Fridays. The activities as well as their sponsors are listed below:

Interesting update:
I turned "Hybrid Sleep" mode on in Power Manager, and now when the computer fails to go to sleep, it just essentially "wakes up" and shows the login screen. Before, it would crash completely, and Windows would say it wasn't shut down successfully.
So now i have a computer that goes to sleep more slowly with Hybrid Mode, but doesn't totally crash. I guess we're making progress...
Hello Guys
long time ago since the last post was written. We have the same Problem as well with the Sleep Mode on Lenovo w510¨.
is there a solution now available to fix this problem?
Hybernate does work , but the sleepmode doesen't !!?? in my case when i push de sleep button (FN and F4) the screen goes into dark, the harddisk is doing something (no idea what the system does at this moment) and then iam not able to get back my screen, i need to power off and power on to be able working again.
When i type in CMD powercfg -A , i get following results:
The following sleep states are available on this system: Standby ( S3 ) Hibernat
e Hybrid Sleep
The following sleep states are not available on this system:
Standby (S1)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
Standby (S2)
The system firmware does not support this standby state.
I hope to find a solution who works, we also have allready the newest w520 modell in our company and it seems to work
Just to let everyone know, I do believe I've solved this problem.
I figured out that putting the computer to hybrid sleep changes some things. Instead of the machine crashing once it's asleep, the machine would simply wake up. It seemed to be the same cause, but different results based on type of sleep.
I then queried Windows as to what just woke up the computer, and I found that the ThinkPad modem and my HID-compliant mouse woke the computer up just milliseconds after it went to sleep. I prevented these devices from waking the machine up in Device Manager, and put the computer to sleep dozens of times. No issue.
Now I have the machine going to normal sleep and I haven't had the crashing issue. The whole time, it was two devices immediately waking the computer, making it crash in the normal sleep mode.
Hope this helps!
Mine BIOS is latest 1.38.
I have try
(osfh02ww.exe) and put "USBPMon.reg".
Shut down lap and restart from cold boot-and this worked for me!
This is Windows 7 also fix (AFAIK).
And of course have hiberfil.sys enabled "powercfg -h on".
All looks that sleep on W510 is not really working but hibernation way of sleep does. I'd like to be this confirmed from Lenovo.
I had the same exact issue, but the culprit was VirtualBox. I'm running Windows 7 64 host, and an Ubuntu guest. Apparently I enabled a USB Device filter that caused the problem. After removing the filter, the computer sleeps as normal.


text: Bully: Scholarship Edition is a game that will put some groups on edge with its very premise; that you role-play a bully by beating up your opponents with a variety of easily-made weapons. More than likely though, they haven't actually played the game.The central character of Jimmy Hopkins presents not a Rebel without a Cause, but a peacemaker. All he wants is for everybody to get along, and he's not above using his fists to achieve this aim. In short, Bully: Scholarship Edition presents the foreign policy of the US over the last 15 years in a schoolyard setting.The world is seen as in chaos because of its stupidity, and it's up to Jimmy Hopkins to save them. Along the way, he'll romance the girls, circumvent stupid authority figures (UN, NATO etc) and stop a diabolical manipulator from stealing power away from him (Nazis, Terrorists etc). But you're not here for a left-wing, pinko, Commie, ***got liberal rant; you're here for a review of the gameplay.Rockstar have used a tried and tested formula to deliver fun gameplay. They've presented a watered-down version of the GTA series, and instead of this being a bad move, it proves a winning one. The mission structure; the fighting and characters could all be drawn from the seedy world of the GTA series, but instead of a wide ranging city to play with and high stakes, Bully: Scholarship Edition scales this back to a town, and low stakes gameplay. While this game doesn't reach any dramatic heights, it is fun, and it appears that all the elements have been designed with this in mind.The combat engine is extraordinarily easy to master, and the boss fights are simple enough to figure out. The brawling engine consists of punches, kicks and grabs, with only a few combinations available. Tekken this ain't. Yet, wailing on nerds or jocks is quite fun. The game relies on the simple satisfaction in beating up the various social cliques, rather than wowing the player with complicated mechanics.The boss fights range from the traditional 'run out of the way when he charges' to the 'take out all the minions first', and the fights themselves are rather pedestrian. It's a shame, because the missions leading up to that point are really quite fun. These range from the 'sneak around', 'fetch x number of items' and the 'beat up this kid'. They're all pretty standard missions that you've seen before, but their execution is superb; they're easy, but they're fun. Take, for instance, the 'sneak around in an insane asylum' mission. I've pretty much blown the content of the mission for you right there, but the wails of the demented and the comments of the orderlies keep you amused as you sneak around.Outside of the mission system, you do have to go to school. Going to school consists of going to classes that consist of various mini games which are on the easy side of ridiculously easy. All of these again, are executed quite well, keeping you amused while you unlock bonuses for passing each class.It's a pretty nifty way of getting the player to actually want to go to class once in a while.The characters seem well to be well drawn, even if more than a few of them venture into stereotypes (such as the whole 'nerd' clique). They all have their own intricacies and quirks, from the nerd who wets himself (Algie) to the femme fatale greaser (Lola), they're all fun characters to interact with.The graphics are passable, but don't ever dazzle the player which seems par for the course these days. It's a console port, and it looks like one. You can't really criticise the graphics without seeming pedantic, because they do a passable job. They do exactly what they're designed to do, draw the player into the game world. The graphics do their job, but don't dazzle.One thing that really stuck in my craw about the game however, is the romance system.This really seems tacked-on, doesn't add any extra dimension to the gameplay, and requires the player to take massive leaps of faith. You see, our protagonist has been hit by the ugly stick a fair bit. So when he's able to romance any girl with a line and a gift, you can't help but scoff at the harlots who only require this as a prerequisite to a makeout session with an uggo.You'll notice that I've used the word 'fun' a lot during this review, and this is what Bully: Scholarship Edition is.In many ways, this game harks back to the origins of GTA where fun was the order of the day, and the high stakes action of the recent versions wasn't present. It's short, it's sweet and it's a heck of a lot of fun.Rockstar have done well to make sure the game doesn't reach into the realm of melodramatics, but instead sticks to its main strength in presenting an easily digested game.My recommendation: Rent it for a fun weekend, but don't expect a masterpiece.Hey JoeSubscribe to posts?Donate?

Long Bay land too expensive to be used for affordable housing envisaged in council blueprint, say developers.
One of Auckland's few large-scale housing developments, at Long Bay, is exactly the type of model the Auckland Council does not want - expensive houses on large sections gobbling up prime land.
This time next year, residents will have moved into the first three-bedroom, stand-alone houses costing at least $700,000, backing on to Long Bay beach and regional park.
The park's facilities have struggled to cope this summer with up to 25,000 visitors a day during the holiday season.
Police have been called in to manage a "one out, one in" traffic system after the 4000 carparks fill by mid-morning on sunny days.
When the Herald visited this week some motorists had queued for two hours to get a park and more than 270 vehicles were lined up to enter the park, blocking local streets.
The size of the sections at the new development are typically about 500sq m for the first stage, with the largest section 936sq m.
Three sites are reserved for terraced housing.
When the 67ha of housing at Long Bay, just inside the city's urban limit, is complete in more than 10 years, there will be about 2000 properties housing up to 6000 people.
This is the density of a traditional suburb, nowhere near the kind of density envisaged in the Auckland Plan, the city's blueprint to accommodate an extra 1.2 million people over the next 30 years.
Nor is Todd Property Group, which is developing the estate, answering the call for affordable housing.
Chief executive Evan Davies makes no bones about developing upmarket housing on the 160ha estate, of which just 67ha is for houses.
The rest is set aside for a green buffer between the regional park, roads, stormwater treatment areas, wetlands and landscaped zones.
"When you've paid what we've paid for infrastructure that nobody else provided and when you have taken 13 years to get here, the possibility of providing that kind of [affordable] outcome is precluded," Mr Davies said.
Todd senior development manager Stephen Martin said smaller properties towards a town centre in the middle of the site might be cheaper but affordable housing was "completely impossible".
"The density proposed is more intensive than most of the North Shore, and has been developed in a sustainable way that looks after the local environment," he said.
Todd has been handicapped in many ways to meet the council's calls for intensification and affordable housing. The company has had to spend $7 million laying a 2m diameter wastewater pipe and $3 million on a water pumping station to meet the capacity of the area and prevent stormwater spilling into the park.
Long Bay is being developed under a structure plan that faced considerable opposition and took years to wind its way through the Environment Court and appeal process.
Regional planning manager Penny Pirrit said the Long Bay development on farmland was not as dense as a brownfield scheme and it faced environmental issues and a public wish to integrate with the regional park.
Mr Martin said the new unitary plan for Auckland - the rulebook for the city - gave Todd the chance to look at all areas of the region and examine the best mix of land use for housing and the best use of the land.
"It's positive that they are looking at bringing in mixed-housing zones in the city, which will allow significant flexibility in what can be produced.
"However, we're concerned the council might take a more rigid approach to greenfield and structure plan areas, which will constrain our ability to offer a mix of housing options and reduce the number of dwellings that can be built.
"With Aucklanders crying out for more housing, council needs to work with private-sector partners and alongside the community to find ways of bringing more and different types of housing to market, in a faster timeframe, rather than simply rolling over current planning provisions."
Deputy Mayor Penny Hulse, who chairs the committee overseeing the unitary plan, said the background to Long Bay, its complex environmental issues, and the value and location of the land justified some big, more expensive houses.
However, she said the unitary plan would probably put the squeeze on and increase the level of medium-density in an area like Long Bay.
"We are always up for discussion and I know Todd Property are."
The Auckland Plan anticipates that the city will need to accommodate an extra 1.2 million people over the next 30 years. It calls for 300,000 of the 400,000 new houses to be built within the existing urban boundaries.
Housing consultant Martin Udale told a conference on residential development in October that Auckland would need an extra 20,000ha to accommodate new houses in that time if it continued building traditional suburbs.
Mr Udale said there were few development areas within the urban area and one in five of the 385,000 existing homes would have to be replaced with townhouses and apartments to meet the goals of the Auckland Plan.
Long Bay
* 162ha land area
* 67ha area for housing
* 500sq m average section size for two-thirds of housing
* 250sq m average section size for other areas
* $700,000 starting price for first houses.

Think about a 78-79 or 80-86 with the BOSS 302 under the hood
Think about a 78-79 or 80-86
Just looked at used Ecoboost motors, and you should be able to get one for under $4k.
quote:My dad has one and it is a pretty nice motor. Doesn't get as good a fuel mileage as me on the highway and I drive 5-15mph higher than him. Never had any problems with it at all. Doesn't really have any turbo lag at all either
Sounds like this could be a good fix for your problems.
Gearing would be the key to that. Tranny, rear end, transfer case all have to be set up right to match the motor
Below is some info. 25 mpg is going to be hard to achieve. A diesel or may be one of the new V-6 Eco boost engines are the only options. If you check new truck avg. mpg city, most are below 25mph and are a lot more aerodynamic than a Bronco.
Thank you for your interest in Build A Bronco.com. We have Bronco's that are in different stages. If interested in a "start from scratch" build from the frame up, we have 3 frames that are powder coated and ready to go as well. Let me know your thoughts and we would be glad to help in any way possible. There are several options, feel free to give me a call if is easier to discuss. The work number and my personal cell phone # is listed below.
We presently have a couple real nice "donor" Bronco's but they go fast. Here is a little more information for you. FAQ's.....
What is the Build A Bronco Project Price Range?
Most of the body "off frame" custom builds run in the $29,000 to $50,000 range and take about 6 months to complete. We have also built Bronco's in excess of $100,000. It all depends on what your dream build entails. If you want a powder coated frame, you would have to start with a body off frame build. We have powder coated and painted frames with or without hoops done and ready to go. With a painted frame you have an option of doing the build with or without removing the body. Not removing the body will lower the cost of your project build. Also, if you are not looking for "new" paint, you can save some money. Some of the Bronco's we find, the paint is in good enough condition that they do not need to be repainted. Air conditioning is about a $3000 additional option. Maybe you are not interested in a complete custom build. We also have Bronco's available that have not been completely overhauled. Please contact me to see what we currently have available. We have sold Bronco's from $2,000 on up, again just depends on your Bronco wants and requirements.
Your Bronco Budget
Once we receive your "Bronco Specs" we will itemize an estimate for you. You will know at all times where you are on your Bronco Budget. For example, if your original estimate for the wheel and tire package is $1,500, but you pick out tires for $1,200, then you have a choice to spend the difference elsewhere or have your total price reduced by $300. Or if you pick out some $5000 20" beauties, then your project price was just raised by $3,500. We can Build A Bronco to suit your budget and your personal style!
Down Payment Required
1. 25% Down Payment (non-refundable) to start your build. 2. 25% paid when sit body on frame. 3. 25% paid when the engine starts. 4. 25% paid when complete. Wire transfer is the easiest and cheapest way, but we are able to do credit card payments with a 3% additional charge.
Shipping and Delivery Arrangements
We are able to ship anywhere; Hawaii, Canada, California, etc. We have many quality shippers on file, but have had the best luck with uship.com. Shipping is not included in any of our builds. Let me know what you need from me to move on to the next step and get your Bronco started. Feel free to reply back or call me for further questions.
I need to get in touch with this fella
but $3,000 for AC.... Damn.... but i know im going to die without it

UTSA employees participate in "Adopt-A-Family" program
UTSA employees help 'Adopt-A-Family' program
By Jennifey Lilly and Misty Kelley
Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs Networking Committee
(Dec. 16, 2008)--Families are referred to San Antonio's Family Service Association (FSA) for a variety of reasons including poverty, job loss, death of a family member and other critical circumstances. To provide some support for the families, staff members from the UTSA Office of the Vice President for Student Affairs coordinated the adoption of 22 of these families this month through the FSA "Adopt-A-Family" program.

Investors are set to shake things up at annual shareholder meetings this year, with 365 shareholder resolutions filed, according to the 2013 Proxy Preview released this week by As You Sow, a shareholder advocacy group, the Sustainable Investment Institute and Proxy Impact.
Calling the filers "little guys" is actually a misnomer. Socially responsible investor groups, including Trillium Asset Management, Calvert Investments and Walden Asset Management, filed the most resolutions for 2013, followed by pension funds and faith-based groups. These are the big guns that manage billions of dollars. Individual proponents accounted for just 6 percent of the total filings this year.
Just like last year, most of the resolutions filed center on corporate political spending. The focus is not just on election campaign donations, but political lobbying as well.
"The trend on political spending has been around for several years now, and much of that has focused on political contributions to elections. But what started last year and kind of exploded this year is political lobbying disclosure," says Michael Passoff, co-author of the 2013 Proxy Preview and CEO of Proxy Impact, a progressive proxy voting service for socially responsible investors.
"In essence, what shareholders are asking for is disclosure on the political spending done on elections but also year-round," he says.
About 120 resolutions were filed on political spending, representing one-third of the total number of resolutions. That's twice the number filed on the next most popular category this year: climate and energy.
According to Passoff, there were nine banking resolutions filed this year, but only two are likely to go to a vote.
"Those two are proposals at Bank of America and Wells Fargo that ask for an independent review of the companies' internal controls to ensure that their mortgage servicing and foreclosure practices do not violate fair housing and fair lending laws," he says.
Shareholder advocacy picks up steam
The total number of resolutions filed so far in 2013 is greater than the number filed last year at this time, 365 to 345, according to the report from As You Sow.
Support for shareholder resolutions has only been growing over the years. Even just 10 years ago, the average resolution garnered 10 percent of votes, "And now you get a lot of votes that are in the 30 percent range, and some are majority votes," Passoff says.
"The votes have gone up, the number of resolutions has gone up, and the dialogues are going up. There is a trend of companies being more responsive to socially responsible investing, and mainstream investors are supporting them as well," he says.
Proxy voting: Do you do it?

Bald eagles migrate to the refuge by late fall and early winter. As many as 300 immature and adult bald eagles and an occasional golden eagle may be seen during the migration peak, usually by the first of December. A record 476 bald eagles were counted during a 2001 survey. The first recorded successful bald eagle nest fledged three young eaglets in the summer of 1997. A few bald eagles may spend the winter and summer on the refuge. Migrating eagles leave the refuge in spring and summer returning to lakes and streams in the northern forests.

Give away free, well, cleaned and fixed toys to help some parents supplement what is under the tree. Baby and small child quilts appreciated. Cannot count for sure how many have gone into that pile for the Christmas season this year. Any and all quilts are welcome when they come in. Everything goes out for free. Not a penny exchanges hands and it is really neat to see some people that thank you for your effort to help them make Christmas a bit brighter. Have a very simple quilt pattern I do and can whip out tops in no time flat then tie them together, bind them and off they go to the toy store they go. I love working for God.
