Council signs resolution of support for library funding
Jon Henke, Crosslake's director of parks, recreation and libraries, visited the Breezy Point City Council Monday night, March 4, to request support in reinstating $20,000 in Kitchigami Regional Library System (KRLS) funding lost from Pequot Lakes and Crosslake libraries.
The KRLS board of directors recently cut the funding when Crow Wing County approved a budget $20,000 less than KRLS' request.
The council unanimously passed a resolution of support requesting the libraries get the funding back.
"Crosslake and Pequot Lakes libraries serve the library needs of city residents in Crosslake, Pequot Lakes, Breezy Point, Fifty Lakes, Emily, Jenkins and Manhattan Beach, and also the townships of Ideal, Gail, Jenkins, Pelican, Timothy, Fairfield and Mission," the resolution states. "All together these communities provide $230,836 or 44 percent of the $539,002 budgeted for library expenditures in Crow Wing County for 2013."
By contrast, the $20,000 the libraries are requesting constitutes only 3.79 percent of the budget, the resolution states.
In the past the funding constituted all or nearly all the money the libraries spent on new materials.
Henke listed that Breezy Point residents pay $20,026 in taxes that go to KRLS.
Crosslake and Pequot Lakes libraries are not considered member libraries of KRLS, but associate libraries. KRLS board chair Neal Gaalswyk said in a phone interview that the board felt funding should be cut from associate libraries before it was cut from member libraries.
Public safety
Breezy Point Police Chief Kevin Merschman reported a total of 130 calls in February. Those included 51 traffic-related incidents, 15 assisting another agency, eight animal-related calls, six accidents and 41 miscellaneous.
In other business Monday, the council:
• Was met with a split vote on whether to purchase a new mower for the sewer department. Council member Tom Lillehei and mayor JoAnn Weaver were in favor of the purchase, while council members Diane Williams and Scott Willer were opposed. Council member Otto Schmid was absent. The council will readdress the matter in April.
• Approved a police contract with Pelican Township and renewed a paramedic agreement with North Memorial.
• Decided the city will offer mailbox installation for a $30 fee, along with the $60 swing-up mailbox support the city currently sells. The city has had some issues with snow removal and mailbox damage. Allowing staff to install mailboxes for a fee would ensure they were installed properly, city administrator Joe Rudberg told the council in a memo. The city works with landowners to repair properly installed mailboxes damaged by snow removal.
• Approved a revised capital improvement parks plan. Revisions to the plan included exploring an 18-hole disc golf course, rather than nine-hole, and moving that project to 2014. For 2013 the plan was amended for the acquisition of two Harmony Park musical instruments. A vendor was at city hall with models on Feb. 28. When the committee decides which to purchase, it will bring a recommendation to the council.

I just wanted to stay what a phenomenal company this is. I had a few very small problems with my 3100P extractor this fall due to no fault of Jake or the guys at Maxant. Long story short, Jake not only made it right but made me feel like I came out ahead. I can't say enough good about them and I strongly urge you to contact Jake when you are looking at extracting equipment.
Thanks again Jake!

Hi Mummza,
Thanks for your reply and welcome
The variation I found here:
www.jamieshomecookingskills.com/recipe. … with-pasta
You'll note that as you scroll down it indicates to "fill ONE of the empty tins with water and add to the pan".
Anyway, doesn't matter now, I will be eating my modified version tonight regardless! But next time I will only use wine and no water

the revolver frame on Ruger Blackhawks, etc.? I have had several, they all are great guns but I obcess about the grip frame.
I've tried tightening them while in a vice or C clamp, while pushing or pulling, etc but some of them I just cannot get to line up perfectly.
From looking closely at the machine and polishing marks made during manufacturing it looks like they were aligned perfectly at one time
but I have a nearly impossible job to get them back perfect. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

A 42-year-old Oakdale man died early Saturday morning in a single-vehicle crash in Allen Parish, state police said.
Daniel Moreau, Troop D spokesman, said Sherwin Ashworth was driving on Sam Cloud Road when he lost control and hit an utility pole.
"Ashworth was not wearing his seat belt and was partially ejected," Moreau said in a news release. "He was pronounced dead."
Moreau said state police "would like to take this opportunity to remind and inform motorists that properly wearing your seat belt will dramatically reduce your chance of being injured or killed in a crash. We ask you to take one second to buckle up."
Troop D has investigated 14 fatal crashes which have resulted in 16 deaths this year.


text: A friend [Old time Beekeeper] and I captured a large bunch of bees today on the north side of an old house. They were out in the open under the eve of a porch about 10' off the ground. Used a Bee Vac and a little bit of smoke. The Bee Vac sure demoralizes the bees, neither of us got stung and we only used a hat and veil, [bare armed] Within 10" of these bees there were bees coming and going at the bottom of an up stairs window. The owner said that he had had bees in the house a few years back, probably been there for some time. His wife said that they had Honey soaking through the wall and through the wall paper. I would guess that the wall is full of Honey and Comb. The bees were pretty dark and I think they had been there since early spring. They had 9 combs aprox. 12" to 14" long with quite a bit of honey, brood, and pollen. We were able to salvage some comb, & brood, [used rubber bands to hold them in frames]. When we dumped them out of the bee vac box in front of the deep hive body onto some plywood we were able to see a nice big light brown QUEEN. Must of been 6 or 7 lbs. of bees. Hope to get them built up to get through the coming winter. I bought 2 nucs this spring, caught a nice bunch earlier this spring and now this makes me 4 hives. Not bad considering that I lost both hives that I had last winter. Having fun keeping bees in S.E. Ks Dale

WEEI.com predicts 2014-15 Boston Celtics season
|10.29.14 at 8:59 am ET
The Boston Celtics season is upon us, and our WEEI.com round table of Ben Rohrbach, Mike Petraglia, Kevin O'Connor, Julian Edlow and Sam Packard weighs in on five questions facing the C's this season.
1. What will be Rajon Rondo's fate this season?
@brohrbach: We've seen "National TV" Rondo, but we've never really witnessed "Contract Year" Rondo, and that could be an awful lot of fun. He's almost two years removed from the ACL surgery, and the broken bone in his hand appears to be only a minor setback. I'm on board with Celtics president Danny Ainge's assessment that his four-time All-Star point guard will enjoy a career statistical year as the most exciting player on a blah team. Even then, haters will find something to complain about.
As for whether he'll be traded or not, the Celtics will sure as heck try, but the number of teams in need of a starting point guard, willing to meet Ainge's asking price and lining up to pay Rondo max money isn't a long list. It's a coin flip, but I'm now leaning more toward no deal than deal.
@Trags: Traded by January.
@KevinOconnorNBA: For Rondo to be dealt by Boston, another team needs to get desperate close to the trade deadline. Looking around the NBA, I don't see many teams willing to cough up what it'll take, so for now I think he'll remain with the Celtics all season.
@julianedlow: Rondo plays the year out in Boston. If he was ever going to be traded, it needed to happen by draft night. There are just no realistic packages out there that make sense for Ainge to deal Rondo. I won't venture a guess as to what happens after this season, but I guarantee it won't be boring.
@SPackGuy: Starts over 75 games for the Celtics. Re-signs in the offseason after not being offered a max deal by any other team.
2. Which newcomer will have the greatest impact?
@brohrbach: Evan Turner seems like the logical answer after his preseason, but with Rondo returning to run the offense, I'm going with dark horse candidate Tyler Zeller. The 7-footer had his ups and downs in eight exhibition games and still walked away with 36-minute averages of 15.1 points, 8.9 rebounds, 1.4 assists and 1.2 blocks to go along with a 17.1 player efficiency rating and 64.1 true shooting percentage. His ability to run the floor pairs well with Rondo.
@Trags: Turner by a smidge over Marcus Smart.
@KevinOconnorNBA: Turner, since he will fill up the box score on a nightly basis. I fully expect Turner to redeem himself in Boston.
@julianedlow: Smart is going to have some terrible games shooting the ball, but his electrifying defense should be enough to keep him on the court on those nights. He has been underrated as a ball-handler and a floor general, but realizing what his true strengths are will define his season. Smart needs to stop relying so heavily on the 3-point shot and look to get into the paint where he will be far more effective this season (and has been in limited preseason numbers).
@SPackGuy: I want to say Marcus Thornton because he seems like a cool dude, but it's pretty clearly going to be Smart.
3. Which returning player will make the biggest leap?
@brohrbach: It has to be Kelly Olynyk. While Jared Sullinger looks to be improved, he was nearly a double-double machine as an NBA sophomore last season. Would you be at all surprised to see Olynyk average an efficient 14-7-3 this season? That's a 50 percent increase in production across the board.
@Trags: Olynyk.
@KevinOconnorNBA: Sullinger. The addition of the above-the-break 3-pointer will do wonders for his game, and his conditioning looked much improved during the preseason. Olynyk is right there with Sullinger, as both of them should make a big leap.
@julianedlow: Third-year bigs Anthony Davis and Andre Drummond are expected to have breakout seasons this year. Sullinger is capable of making the same type of jump as he begins his third NBA season. He had a very strong preseason, and looks to be showing the type of growth he was expected to make when he was considered a No. 1 overall pick during his freshman season at Ohio State. Sullinger could flirt with an All-Star appearance and the Most Improved Player award.
@SPackGuy: Avery Bradley. This team will shoot a lot of 3's, and AB will make the most of them. Can we get him a new nickname? AB lacks all creativity.
4. Who will be the biggest disappointment?
@brohrbach: It's hard to be a disappointment when there are already low expectations, so I'm ruling out Gerald Wallace and Vitor Faverani here. Instead, I'll go with Smart, just because the forecast has been so hot on the rookie. There's no doubt he's an NBA ready defender, but his propensity for turnovers and 3-pointers on the offensive end is a concern, at least this season.
@KevinOconnorNBA: Thornton, only because expectations are unreasonably high after the preseason. His scoring will win Boston some games, but it'll lose them a lot of games too. He's an on-off player that I really like, but if things go south for the team, his production could drop, much like Jordan Crawford's did last year.
@julianedlow: Has the time passed where Green can still be the answer? Look, Green is a great guy, a unique talent, and an elite athlete that also comes with an amazing story. I want to like Jeff Green. But his inconsistencies will always hold him back from becoming the star many hoped he would. In a 17-day span last year, Green had three different games in which he scored 27 or more points. He followed each of those games by scoring in single digits in his next game. Enough said.
@SPackGuy: Sullinger, only because the hype is out of control. I have seen people picking him to be Most Improved Player, which is totally absurd.
5. What's your prediction for the Celtics this season?
@brohrbach: 29-53. The evolution of Sullinger and Olynyk, return of Rondo and additions of Smart, Thornton, Turner and Zeller make this an improved roster, for sure, but with the possible exceptions of the Magic and Bucks the C's are decidedly better than only the 76ers in the Eastern Conference. Even a four-game improvement is asking a lot from Brad Stevens.
@Trags: 36-46. Top-10 scoring team in the NBA. Lots of uptempo and fun to watch.
@KevinOconnorNBA: 30-52. This team is going to be a lot better than it was last season, especially on the defensive end of the floor. If you plugged this Celtics team into last year's Eastern Conference, they'd probably win more than 35 games, but this year's East is much improved. I'll put them at 30 victories, but the record isn't as important as the development of the young players and the system, which will be immense.
@julianedlow: 35-47. Much of the Celtics' fate lies in what trades Ainge decides to pursue, but I have seen a lot of improvements since the summer and believe that it will reflect in Boston's record. They finish with 35 wins — which would have missed the playoffs by three games in the East last season.
@SPackGuy: 30-52. Miss the playoffs and get an average lottery pick. REBUILDING CONTINUES!

text: Hello all, First time poster.I have some specific towing questions I hope you might be able to help with. my truck- 99 z71 1500 ext 4x4 5.3 auto with the tow pkg and 373 10 bolt rear end 6" lift with 35's I am wanting to tow a 1/2 ton towable toy hauler of 21' to 23' with a dry wts ranging 4700 to 5400lbs, hitch wt range 500 to 750lbs and a gvwr 7500 to 9000 depending on model etc. User manual rates my truck at 7500 and depending what list you read it goes to 8200 lbs towing. 1st question- Gear ratio: I was planning on getting some high quality limited slip gear installed to get back my ratio due to larger tires and towing needs. The 2 shops I have talked to said 4:56 but another person said that sounded a bit much for regular driving and towing. Comments? 2nd - On paper it appears that my rig is perfectly capable of towing todays lighter weight toy haulers, So long as I am careful about my weights - especially when going fully self contained. However, one shop person whom I spoke with about the gear swap said that my truck really wouldn't be able to handle the load. Primarily due to the weakness of the 10 bolt rear end. He also said that I would defibately need the air assist springs, heavt duty tranny cooler, and even with all that it would be weak. Comments? Basically, I had hoped to get a toy hauler now while its a buyers market, and get a newer 3/4 ton in a couple of years. But the comments from the installer have me scared. I dont have the money to drop 4k into my truck just to struggle pulling a little trailer and then upgrade the truck. If I could just buy both I wouldn't be here hehe. So any comments would be great. Thanks

A single factor goes a long way in explaining the dearth of women in math-intensive fields. How can we address it?
Wendy M. Williams, Stephen J. Ceci
If sex discrimination in interviewing and hiring, or in reviewing of women's work products, were responsible for the dearth of women professors in math-intensive fields, we would advocate interventions targeting these issues. But current data show that our society has moved past these types of blatant discrimination. Of course, more subtle forms of discrimination may operate today, and we await empirical data supporting their existence and illuminating optimal pathways to address them.
One potentially promising way to increase women's representation is to focus efforts on the problems faced by mothers struggling to raise young families while building tenurable scholarly records. Accordingly, we advocate evaluation of an assortment of strategies (suggested by ourselves and by others, such as Mason and her colleagues) to determine which have promise. For instance, universities might educate women graduate students about the downsides of alternative career paths, following partners' career moves and taking time off. They could explore the use of part-time tenure-track positions for women having children that segue to full-time once children are older, and offer members of a couple the option to temporarily share a single full-time position. Further strategies include not penalizing older or nontraditional applicants for jobs; leveraging technology to enable parents to work from home while children are young or ill; providing parental leaves for primary caregivers of either gender and offering funding to foster successful reentry; and providing an academic role for women who have left professional positions to have children. Institutions could also try stopping tenure clocks for primary caregivers during family formation; adjusting the length of time allocated for work on grants to accommodate childrearing; offering no-cost grant extensions; providing supplements to hire postdocs to maintain labs during family leave; reducing teaching loads for parents of newborns; providing grants for retooling after parental leave; hiring couples; offering child care during professional meetings; providing high-quality university-based child care and emergency backup care; and instructing hiring committees to ignore family-related gaps in curricula vitae. Ensuring that adolescent girls and boys have access to accurate career information is also important, so that misinformation does not lead young people to opt out of careers they might have found rewarding. Some of these strategies have been implemented at some universities; a range of adjustments to the tenure process will be necessary to ensure that women and men who want to have children and be primary caregivers will have equal opportunity.
Key factors that limit women today are still in need of solutions. It is time for our society to address them. The stresses faced when raising young families drive women out of careers for which they are trained and in which they would be as successful as men were they to make the choice not to have children. This critical constraint, which has both biological and cultural aspects, creates a sometimes grim and seemingly unfair reality for women that men simply do not face. Modern universities must create policies to target this real issue, which is supported by extensive empirical data, and which lies at the heart of the current problem.

Policy Considerations Regarding Ability to Borrow Money for Facilities
Respondents interviewed for this guide shared several suggestions and reflections based on their experience with charter school financing. These may be useful for policymakers.
Incremental development of charter school finance market. Two respondents, the Massachusetts Charter Public School Association's Marc Kenen and Jim Griffin of the Colorado League, advise that it takes time for any charter bond market to mature. In their experience, the first step is that some schools must be successful getting in the door with the local private lending sector and securing commercial loans. As this happens, banks begin to understand that the risks associated with lending to charter schools are not as great as they might have imagined. As these lenders develop a level of comfort with charter school financing, they begin to consider these schools as another potential market. Once the market is established, state legislatures are more likely to pass legislation that gives charters access to lower-cost financing options, such as tax-exempt bonds or tax credits.
Flexible financing options for start-up and smaller charter schools. As mentioned, the borrowing options for larger, more mature charter schools are better developed than those for start-up and smaller charter schools. To shrink the financing barriers for the newer and smaller schools, Jim Griffin suggests that state policymakers consider developing special funding programs to offset capital needs for charter schools that are not able to benefit from bonds.
|Tax Breaks for Investors Make School Renovation a Reality Neighborhood House Charter School, Boston
The Neighborhood House Charter School (NHCS) sits on three acres of land, overlooking a bay from one of the highest points in Boston. The school's building was previously used as a nonprofit transitional home for troubled youths, and sat empty for a year before the school purchased it and embarked on an ambitious renovation. NHCS gutted two wings of the facility and built an addition, creating an inviting school setting with plenty of greenery. The total price for the purchase and renovation of this facility was approximately $20 million.
In Massachusetts, charter schools receive direct cash assistance, but the amount is limited: only about $850 per pupil (compared to over $3,000 per pupil in Washington, D.C., for example). This funding is not nearly enough to cover all of NHCS's facilities costs, but it helps, and this revenue source also makes the school more attractive to investors. In addition to long-term loans and private fund-raising, the school raised $7.1 million through tax-exempt bonds underwritten by Fleet America (now Bank of America) and approximately $7 million in federal Qualified Zone Academy Bonds (QZABs)—bonds that offer tax credits to investors. The school will pay back its various debts over the course of 30 years, initially with annual payments of approximately $450,000 to $500,000.
The QZABs were critical to financing the NHCS facility. Jug Chokshi, the school's chief financial officer, says, "If it wasn't for the QZABs, I don't know that we would have gone forward with this real estate deal." At the same time, however, the QZABs also restricted the school's options for how it could spend the money. Because QZABs cannot be used to finance new construction, the charter school's operators decided mostly to rebuild the facility they had purchased instead of tearing it down and starting from the ground up. (Funding from other sources was used to finance the new portions of the facility.)
The school had to spend a substantial amount of time and resources to complete the transactions for both the QZABs and the tax-exempt bonds. To help them, the school's operators relied heavily on an external group called Paradigm Properties for advice throughout the complex financing process and for help with communication among the various parties involved. As with all the school's financial transactions, the purchase and financing was handled not by the school itself, but by a foundation set up to handle the school's finances. This arrangement protects any private investments from being forfeited to the state if the school should close for any reason.
NHCS had several advantages that made it a good candidate for the sophisticated forms of financing it pursued. Having opened in 1994, NHCS has a longer track record and history of securing financing than many charter schools. (Tax-exempt bonds and QZABs typically are used by relatively mature charter schools seeking large sums of money.) NHCS also had the benefit of having several school board members with backgrounds in real estate and finance. These members initially sparked the idea to purchase a facility and also had the expertise to support the school through the complex financing process it chose.
Neighborhood House Charter School: Selected Statistics
Government support of entities involved in charter school finance. Many jurisdictions, including those featured in this part of the guide on charter school borrowing, offer examples of partnerships and close collaboration among government agencies involved in charter school finance, such as conduit issuers and state departments of education. In addition, the conduit issuers featured in this guide illustrate how enabling a central government agency (or, as in the case of Washington, D.C., a city government) to issue bonds on behalf of charter schools throughout the jurisdiction can help develop this finance market.
In some cases, charter school associations also have developed strong working relationships with government and quasi-public agencies that deepen the support available for charter school facilities. For example, for Massachusetts, Sullivan and Chuang specifically call attention to the benefits of close collaboration between key state agencies involved in charter facility finance, including the charter association, the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, and MassDevelopment. Sullivan suggests that this collaboration may be unique in the country and says that it has been "very helpful" because the association and the department identify the needs within the marketplace and MassDevelopment helps to find solutions. In addition, Chuang says that, informally, this collaboration, involving regular interaction among the various players, has made communication and processes smoother, enabling the three agencies to coordinate.
Efficiencies through government-supported technical assistance and streamlining. Since facilities finance is not typically among the core competencies of charter school operators, they require significant technical assistance to understand the options, particularly in the bond arena-both tax-exempt and QZABs. Typically, schools hire financial advisors and consultants who can help them learn about and navigate financing deals. However, if government agencies could provide this expertise free of charge, charter schools could save time and money.
Washington, D.C.'s William Liggins highlights examples of how the Office of the Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development (ODMPED) provides these benefits to charter schools seeking bond financing. According to Liggins, ODMPED holds many seminars to teach charter schools about the available financing options, and its staff is well versed in and shares information about the associated processes and relevant tax regulations. He emphasizes that streamlining the processes involved in securing bond financing through ODMPED to make them as efficient as possible and being as transparent and open as possible have been critical. ODMPED strives to have a user-friendly process in which all of the details and timing related to the application can be clearly explained. This helps ensure that schools complete all of their due-diligence related to leases, deeds, and any type of zoning issues. This streamlining also results in resource savings for charter schools (i.e., money and time).

UTSA electrical engineering lecturer Matthew Joorden with high school
students in internship program
Engineering internship program prepares students
By Kris Rodriguez
Public Affairs Specialist
(June 12, 2008)--Fifty-five area high school students were welcomed this week to the UTSA College of Engineering as part of the second annual summer internship program at the 1604 Campus. The program offers students the opportunity to learn about research in UTSA's advanced manufacturing and robotic and intelligent machines laboratories and exposes them to the demands of studying engineering.
Today's headlines
- La Prensa Foundation is newest member of UTSA Lone Star Society
- UTSA alumna Jordan Kaufmann wins $50K for new stent-graft start-up
- UTSA begins new way-finding sign installation this summer at Main Campus

Over the summer, 35 students will complete 48 hours of laboratory observation with an assigned mentor. Students completing the internship will receive $900. Those who enroll full time at UTSA could earn $3,600 to assist with finances in their freshman year.
The remaining 20 students will enroll in the new "Just In Time Math" program; upon completion of the summer program, they can begin taking engineering classes at UTSA in the fall.
"Before students are able to take engineering classes, they have to complete calculus classes, and this program will help prepare them for the required engineering course load," said Mehdi Shadaram, UTSA mechanical engineering professor and summer internship organizer.
The summer internship program is supported by nearly $500,000 in funding from the Department of Education's Math, Science and Engineering Initiative and the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board's Youth in Technology program.

Nikita - Season 1 Episodes
Nikita - Season 1
Maggie Q stars in this sexy and suspenseful series as the charming and deadly Nikita. Trained as an invisible assassin by a secret government agency, no one has ever escaped...until now. Yet as resolute as the rogue Nikita is to bring down her former agency, others are just as determined to stop her. Lyndsy Fonseca, Shane West, Aaron Stanford, Melinda Clarke and Xander Berkeley also star.
When she was a deeply troubled teenager, Nikita (Maggie Q, "Mission Impossible III") was rescued from death row by a secret U.S. agency known only as Division, who trained her as a spy and assassin. Nikita was eventually betrayed by the only people she thought she could trust. Now, after three years in hiding, Nikita is seeking retribution and making it clear to her former boss, Percy (Xander Berkeley, "24") and her former friends Michael (Shane West, "E.R.") and Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford, "X-Men: The Last Stand) that she will stop at nothing to expose and destroy their covert operation. Division continues to recruit and train other young people, among them Jaden (Tiffany Hines, "Bones") and Thom (Ashton Holmes, "Boston Legal"), erasing all evidence of their former lives and turning them into cold and efficient killers. One of these new recruits, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca, "Kick-Ass") is a beautiful girl with a violent past and a story not so different from Nikita's. The recruits all spend part of their training with Amanda (Melinda Clarke, "The O.C."), a master manipulator who can turn any ugly duckling into a swan and any bleeding heart into a killer. Danny Cannon directed the pilot written by Craig Silverstein.
Percy (Xander Berkeley) and Michael (Shane West) take their latest assignment, a Slavic leader wanted for war crimes, into protective custody. Nikita (Maggie Q) learns of their hideout and attempts to thwart their plan, but a mysterious group of mercenaries in search of nuclear material beats her to the task. Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) is activated earlier than expected for a special assignment that throws her into the crossfire of bullets. A flashback reveals a pivotal moment in Nikita's life. Melinda Clarke, Aaron Stanford, Ashton Holmes and Tiffany Hines also star. Danny Cannon directed the episode written by Craig Silverstein & David Levinson.
"Kill Jill"
Nikita (Maggie Q) rescues Jill (guest star Julie Gonzalo, "Eli Stone"), a journalist who is trying to expose a conspiracy involving Division and a major plane crash.

Michael enlists the help of the recruits, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca), Jaden (Tiffany Hines) and Thom (Ashton Holmes), to help them locate their latest target. David Solomon directed the episode written by Amanda Segel.
"Rough Trade"
Nikita (Maggie Q) delves into her past when she posed as a nanny for an influential government official and decides to right the wrong of his death. During the mission, Michael (Shane West) comes to Nikita's rescue and begins to doubt Percy's (Xander Berkeley) motives. Back at Division, while undergoing basic training, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) suffers from a panic attack which prompts Amanda (Melinda Clarke) to break her of claustrophobia. Aaron Stanford, Tiffany Hines and Ashton Holmes also star. Nick Copus directed the episode written by Carlos Coto.
"The Guardian"
Divison's secrets are at risk of being revealed to the world when Owen (guest star Devon Sawa, "Final Destination"), a Division operative, escapes from a bank robbery and becomes a fugitive. Percy (Xander Berkeley) decides to search for Owen himself, which makes Michael (Shane West) suspicious of his motives. Nikita (Maggie Q) and Owen go head-to-head until Percy joins them for a tense standoff. Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) sneaks into Percy's office to warn Nikita, but she is busted by Thom (Ashton Holmes) and the two share an intimate moment. Aaron Stanford, Melinda Clarke and Tiffany Hines also star. David Solomon directed the episode written by Albert Kim.
A bus filled with Division recruits is attacked by terrorists who kidnap Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) and Thom (Ashton Holmes), both of whom are unaware that this is a test by Division. Percy (Xander Berkeley), Michael (Shane West) and Amanda (Melinda Clarke) watch as Alex is tortured. Alex breaks free and contacts Nikita (Maggie Q) for help. Meanwhile, Nikita has earned Owen's (guest star Devon Sawa, "Final Destination") trust and he reveals some devastating news to Nikita about her fiancé. Aaron Stanford and Tiffany Hines also star. Guy Ferland directed the episode written by Kalinda Vasquez.
"The Recruit"
Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) informs Nikita (Maggie Q) that one of the recruits has been activated to carry out a suicide mission. Nikita intercepts the recruit just as Michael (Shane West) arrives, and the two sides exchange gunfire. Meanwhile, back inside the walls of Division, another recruit decides to attack several guards, creating mass chaos.
Division sends Thom (Ashton Holmes) to eliminate Anna (guest star Rayisa Kondracki, "The Bridge"), a woman who was having a secret affair with a U.S. Senator (guest star Spencer Garrett, "Leverage"). Division agrees to cover up any trace of the affair as long as the Senator agrees to help pass a bill that will continue to fund the agency. Nikita (Maggie Q), with Alex's (Lyndsy Fonseca) help, attempts to reach out to Anna's parents, but the conversation doesn't go as she expected.
"One Way"
Nikita (Maggie Q) and Michael (Shane West) temporarily team-up to kill a terrorist who murdered Michael's family many years ago. When Percy (Xander Berkeley) learns this information, he sends Division agents to kill Nikita, who ultimately compromises the mission, leading to Michael's capture by the terrorist group. Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) is caught going through medical files inside Division so she creates a lie that involves Jaden (Tiffany Hines) and almost blows her cover. Melinda Clarke, Aaron Stanford and Ashton Holmes also star. Ken Fink directed the episode written by Albert Kim.
"Dark Matter"
Owen (guest star Devon Sawa) leaks secret information from Division's black boxes to the media, revealing that the U.S. Government was responsible for an assassination in Chile. As a result, Percy (Xander Berkeley) frames a C.I.A. agent, Ryan (guest star Noah Bean, "Damages") for the crime. Nikita (Maggie Q) and Owen go to Chile to rescue Ryan from mercenaries and in doing so end up getting captured. Nikita reveals the secrets of Division to Ryan in an effort to save all of their lives. Back inside Division, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) spies on Percy and Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) and witnesses a side to Percy she has never seen before.

"All The Way"
Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) informs Nikita (Maggie Q) that Division is sending her on her first mission to kill the leader of a crime syndicate. Alex is uneasy about taking someone's life but is reassured by Nikita who insists on helping her with the kill order. Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford) informs Percy (Xander Berkeley) and Michael (Shane West) when he discovers the shell program that a Division mole has been using to connect to Nikita in the outside world. When the mission doesn't go as planned, Nikita makes a quick decision in an effort to clear Alex's name. Inside Division, Jayden (Tiffany Hines) attempts to reveal Alex as the mole but Thom (Ashton Holmes) steps in and a shocking accident clears her name. Terrence O'Hara directed the episode written by executive producer Craig Silverstein.
Now an agent, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) gets a new apartment and is given a cover job. She meets her new neighbor Nathan (guest star Thad Luckenbill) who invites her to a party at his house. Nikita (Maggie Q) warns Alex about getting too involved with people but Alex struggles between her duties at Division and living a normal life. Nikita realizes Division has implanted a kill chip in Alex's head and sets out to gain control of the chip. While interrogating Birkhoff (Aaron Stanford), Nikita stuns Ryan (guest star Noah Bean) by revealing a secret. Shane West also stars. Jonathan Glassner directed the episode written by Kalinda Vazquez.
"Coup De Grace"
Alex's (Lyndsy Fonseca) first assignment is a group mission to kill the Prince of Georgia at a museum gala. After Alex tells Nikita (Maggie Q) about the order, the two devise a plan to foil the assassination. However, Nikita trusts the wrong person and their plans are foiled, resulting in a stand-off and alerting Division that Nikita is in the building. Percy (Xander Berkeley) sends Michael (Shane West) in to kill Nikita. Nathan Hope directed the episode written by Albert Kim.
"The Next Seduction"
Ryan (guest star Noah Bean) intercepts a message about a dangerous cutting edge weapon coming into the U.S. so he asks Nikita (Maggie Q) to help him stop the delivery. Nikita discovers the man bringing the weapon into the country is Voss (guest star Matthew Marsden), a man she was forced to have a relationship with while undercover at Division. She reluctantly resumes her alter ego to retrieve the missile. Meanwhile, Michael (Shane West) interferes in Alex's (Lyndsy Fonseca) new life with Nathan (guest star Thad Luckinbill). David Soloman directed the episode written by Carlos Coto.
While out on a mission for Division, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) runs into Irina (guest star Ksenia Solo), a woman from her past. Alex tries to help Irina break free from her captor, but her old friend double crosses her and turns Alex over to Vlad (guest star Mark Ivanir), a Russian mobster, with a debt to settle. Nikita (Maggie Q) realizes Alex is in trouble and sets out to save her but runs into Michael who is searching for his missing agent. Realizing she can't compromise Alex's secret, Maggie must find a way to work with Michael to save Alex without getting her friend killed by Division. Ken Fink directed the episode written by Andrew Colville.
In order to speed up her healing, Amanda (Melinda Clarke) sedates Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) after her last mission then takes advantage of Alex's drugged condition to question her about the secrets Amanda believes Alex is keeping. Nikita (Maggie Q) realizes Alex is in danger and tries to secure her another identity to smuggle her out of the country. However, Nikita's contact double-crosses her and she comes face to face with a surprising opponent. Meanwhile, Michael (Shane West) becomes suspicious of Alex and asks Birkhoff (guest star Aaron Stanford) to investigate her. Nick Copus directed the episode written by Kristen Reidel.
Michael (Shane West) confronts Nikita (Maggie Q) in her lair and reveals that he knows Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) is the mole. He tells Nikita that she has 24 hours to find Kasim (guest star Haaz Sleiman), the man who killed Michael's family, or he will tell Percy (Xander Berekley) about Alex. Eagle Egilsson directed the episode written by Jim Barnes.
"Into the Dark"
Owen (Devon Sawa) returns with information on one of Percy's (Xander Berkeley) black boxes. Nikita (Maggie Q) returns to London with him to retrieve it but notices that Owen is acting strangely. Owen tells Nikita that he wants to release the contents of the black box and when Nikita disagrees, he turns on her. Meanwhile, Percy finds out Nikita is in London and dispenses Michael (Shane West) to kill her. Also, Amanda (Melinda Clarke) overhears Jaden (Tiffany Hines) arguing with Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) about the escape tunnels so she hooks Alex up to a lie detector to get the truth out of her once and for all.
"Girl's Best Friend"
Nikita (Maggie Q) believes it's getting too dangerous for Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) at Division and decides its time Alex disappeared. Alex agrees but before the plan can be put in motion, she and Jaden (Tiffany Hines) are assigned to an overseas mission to stop the son of a foreign president (guest star Edi Gathegi) from selling a newly developed nerve toxin. Things go awry and Alex must decide between saving the mission or saving herself. Rob Lieberman directed the episode written by Carlos Coto.
"Glass House"
Frustrated that Nikita (Maggie Q) continues to intercept his black boxes, Percy (Xander Berkeley) sends Michael (Shane West) to check on one of the boxes and the guardian attached to it. Nikita makes it to the small Pennsylvania town first and is shocked to find that the guardian is a normal woman named Dana (guest star Christina Moses) who has abandoned her post and is attempting to live a normal life with her husband and child. Tensions mount when Michael is forced to report Dana's actions and Division swarms in to clean up any evidence of her existence. Meanwhile, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) and Jaden (Tiffany Hines) get into an argument and Nathan (guest star Thad Luckinbill) gets caught in the middle.
After Michael (Shane West) learns that Percy (Xander Berkeley) has ordered Divison to kill anyone who could decrypt the black boxes, he sends Nikita (Maggie Q) in to save the last person on the list, a CIA cryptographer named Malcolm (guest star Rich Sommer). Nikita kidnaps Malcom and takes him to Ryan (guest star Noah Bean) for protection. Meanwhile, Percy turns on Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca).
In an explosive season finale, Percy (Xander Berkeley) makes a move to take over the CIA, Alex (Lyndsy Fonseca) goes rogue, and Michael (Shane West) gets trapped inside Division making him unable to help Nikita (Maggie Q), who may have to pay with her life for helping Alex.

It is almost Halloween. The "trick" is to not overdo it with the "treats" during this holiday. To stay on track with your healthy lifestyle and weight loss goals learn how to still enjoy the treats with healthy moderation. Here are some tips to stay on track:
- Shop last minute. Put off buying Halloween candy until the night before or day of Halloween. Then you will be less tempted to dig into the treats earlier. Also, buy candy that you don't like, so you are less likely to indulge – in between trick-or-treaters and with leftovers.
- Out of sight out of mind. Don't leave a bowl of candy out on your desk at work or your counter in the kitchen. Other colleagues may not be as health conscious, and it's easy to just pop a little candy in your mouth every time you walk by their stash. Try chewing a piece of gum to avoid the temptation. If you decide to have a piece of candy, that's okay. A trick to monitor your treats so you don't over indulge is to keep your empty wrappers. If you keep your empty wrappers it will remind you of how many you ate and motivate you to stop at one or two.
- Keep eating healthy. Make an extra effort to stick to your well-balanced diet. Your healthy diet will keep you satisfied rather than raiding the candy bowl.
- Exercise. A great time to get in some extra walking exercise is Halloween night by taking kids trick-or-treating.
- Don't stress. Halloween is one single day of the year. Enjoy a treat. Keep up with your healthy lifestyle and enjoy treats in moderation.
Here is a nutritional breakdown of your favorite Halloween candy:

Wildlife Officer: Man sells illegal reptiles at flea market
JACKSONVILLE, ONSLOW COUNTY - A Jacksonville man was jailed Sunday for allegedly selling alligators and other reptiles.
Officials with the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission say that Danny Ray Hemby sold animals on the federal endangered species list.
"There's an awful lot of selling of reptiles and endangered and threatened species, and there's a large market for it internationally," said Sgt. Charles Smith with the WRC.
Hemby is also charged with possessing and selling pigmy rattlesnakes, copperhead snake and turtles. The rattlesnakes and alligators are protected and on the threatened species list in North Carolina.
Smith said Hemby sold these reptiles at a flea market in Jacksonville. He says taking these animals, especially alligators, out of the wild isn't only a danger to us.
"When you're moving alligators from one location to another, especially from one state to another, you can be moving disease," Smith said.
Hemby was jailed under a $4,500 bond and is expected in court Oct. 22; he is also facing larceny charges in New Hanover County and is a convicted felon for prior drug violations.

Stayed here for my birthday treat. And what a treat it was!
Roger's apartment was clean, spacious with a balcony to boot, to savour the wonderful weather that was had.
In the centre of Eindhoven, so close to all that offers, yet far enough away for you to enjoy peace & tranquility.
Everything we needed (apart from a 3rd towel) was available for a very comfortable stay.
As for Roger himself, he proved to be a very welcoming host, allowing us the flexibility we needed on check in & check out, as our flights were early & late timings.
He also informed us of some nice places to eat, & also of a rock & roll festival which was happening just across the way from his apartment which we attended.
Thank you Roger, it was an excellent stay & we hope to come back again.
Roger was very kind to give us all the necessary informations (included a precious information about lunch)!. His apartment is very spacious, clean, very quite at night, comfortable (the sofà is top!) and in the heart of Eindhoven (so you can go out and just walking around for shopping lunch or dinner). We spent a great and relaxing long week end in Eindhoven and also in Nuenen to visit Van Gogh museum and the outdoor Van Gogh places!. Thank you so much Roger we hope to come back again maybe
The Location is very central. The aparment is very well equipped.
Roger is verx flexibel at the check in and check out. It was a very vice stay.
We will definitly do it again.
The apartament was exactly like the description and is very wonderful. I strongly recommend this place for a stay in Eindhoven!!
Roger was very friendly, the Apartment was very nice and clean.
From the balcony we had a Great view over the area. All Important things are are close to this Apartment and made our Holiday very easy.
Roger thank you very much for everything !! We have been at home, your apartment is ideally located, very clean, well-kept and beautiful! Sure that on our next visit to Eindhoven we will back to your home!
We (28 - daughter & 63 - mother) had a nice stay for a two day music festival in 12/ 2015
+ Everything was clean and cleaned up!
+ The flat was really spacious and pretty with a balcony
+ In the heart of Eindhoven (you only have to cross the street to start shopping; 10 min. walk to "de Effenaar"and the Central Station)
+ Nevertheless it was absolutely quiet!
+ Shower, separated toilet, dishwasher, washing mashine, stove+oven, senseo, waterheater, a big couch, even handtowels...everything we needed for a nice, comfortable stay was there
+ Very friendly, courteous host :)
- I only misssed the information, that there is only one blanket in the bed. We had to use it together. It's no problem if you travel with your boy/girlfriend, but if you travel with somebody else it's not so good. A second blanket (or mentioning it in the discription) would solve the problem. :)
Roger was very kind with us. The apartment is so nice and cleaned. The location is perfect, in the middle of Eindhoven. Thanks for all!

4.5 out of 5 stars
Lovely apartment, great location.
Myself, my mother and two sisters stayed here and really enjoyed our time in Marina Di Pisa; a quiet place with lots of lovely places to eat and drink, including the award winning Gelateria la Sirenetta. Having the beautiful marina on one side and the tranquil beach the other was a great change from our stay in bustling Florence.
The apartment is a good size and has everything you could need for your stay (with the exception of a toaster). We had a few small issues with the heating, the kettle and one of the bulbs in the kitchen and Adriano and Emilia could not have been more helpful ensuring any issues were addressed quickly and efficiently and always with a smile.
The only down side to this apartment was the sofa bed which was quite uncomfortable due to being a futon and not a metal frame, however the bed and sofa (as a sofa) was quite comfortable and most of our time spent in the apartment was in the kitchen or on the balcony (the addition of two further folding chairs would be ideal out here). We were transferred to and from the apartment by Adriano who speaks very good basic+ English (much better than our Italian) and offered us all of the pertinent information regarding our stay. The addition of the folder with places to go, bus times etc was very useful and informative.
Overall, our experience was a positive one, the apartment was decorated very nicely throughout, was clean and tidy, in a good location (although not ideal for a wheelchair user to due to cobbled streets and very high curbs - this can be said for Florence too) and with lots of great amenities close by.
We would love to come back and stay here again and would recommend it highly to anyone thinking of visiting.
Grazie Mille
Description of the apartment is fully in the circumstances.
All that is needed for a pleasant Auftenthalt is available.
Nice landlord, unproblematic over- and discharge.
Beautiful Auftenthalt in close proximity to the sea.
If the apartment anytime hire again.
Beschreibung der Wohnung entspricht absolut den Gegebenheiten.
Alles was für einen angenehmen Auftenthalt nötig ist, ist vorhanden.
Nette Vermieter, unproblematische Über- und Abgabe.
Schöner Auftenthalt in unmittelbarer Nähe zum Meer.
Würde die Wohnung jederzeit wieder anmieten.
Very nice apartment. Emilia and Adriano are very nice and helpful too.
All ok, location nice, with one bus we could get to the centre of Pisa (don't miss last bus to get home), apartment nice, great for 4-5 people. Emilia was very friendly and helpful.
we stayed in the appartement with our daugther (11y) and we all felt like at home. The host was really friendly and took care for all our questions. He picked us up at the airport, what was really comfortable. A lot of nice restaurants in that area and we enjoyed to stay directly at the ocean. Pisa center could be reached via bus within 20 minutes and also Florenz and Lucca is easy to reach via train from Pisa.
Emilia & Adriano's apartment was perfect for our stay in Pisa. The apartment was great, nice and very clean included the great terras. The apartment is located very near to the airport and city centre. Emilia & Adriano were really friendly and they are very good hosts. We would recommend Emilia & Adriano to anyone! It feels like we were at home. Thank you Emilia and Adriano.
Ed, Jose, Sven en Sanne Deug.
The host cancelled the booking, this review is automated.
Really great and spacious apartment with all modern facilities. Well decorated.
Good idea to rent a car as it is about. 5 kilometers from Pisa and is 3.5 km from the nearest major grocery store. There are a few nice restaurants around and a wire with a good selection.
Cosy garden. A very quiet and safe area. Ideal for families with children.
Emilia picked us up at the airport and showed us organized. She is really sweet and charming and very well organized. There was the small welcome gift to us with Tuscan specialties.
Easy correspondence with mail. Emilia has always been quick to respond.
Can definitely recommended.
Virkelig stor og rummelig lejlighed med alle moderne faciliteter. Godt indrettet.
God ide at leje bil, da den ligger ca. 5 km fra Pisa og der er 3,5 km til nærmeste større dagligvarebutik. Der er dog et par hyggelige restauranter tæt på samt en bage med et godt udvalg.
Hyggelig have. Et meget roligt og trygt område. Ideelt til børnefamilier.
Emilia hentede os i lufthavnen og viste os tilrette. Hun er virkelig sød og charmerende samt meget velorganiseret. Der var er lille velkomstgave til os med toscanske specialiteter.
Nem korrespondance med mail. Emilia har altid været hurtig til at svare.
Kan bestemt anbefales.
Emilia is an outstanding hostess. Always available to answer our questions and guide us for tours in Tuscany. The apartment was as seen in the photos.
The proximity of highways can be a disadvantage (noise) but is also an advantage for travel to major tourist attractions of the region. A small weak point is the wifi connections. The signal is so weak that you can use it to send one or two emails per day. This is really not enough.
Emilia est une hôtesse hors pair. Toujours disponible pour répondre à nos questions et nous orienter pour les visites en Toscane. L'appartement était telle que vue sur les photos.
La proximité des autoroutes peut être un inconvénient (le bruit) mais est aussi un avantage pour les déplacements vers les grands attraits touristiques de la région. Un petit point faible c'est la connections wifi. Le signal est tellement faible qu'on ne peut l'utiliser que pour envoyer un ou deux courriels par jour. Ce n'est vraiment pas suffisant.
Very nice apartment! Attentive host! Minus point no German speaking television.
Sehr nette Wohnung !! Aufmerksame Gastgeber !!
Minus Punkt kein deutschsprachiges fernseh.

Leadership conference inspires Butte-area students
BUTTE, Mont. - About 300 people gathered on Thursday at Butte Central High School for a statewide leadership conference.
The conference is aimed at helping people share ideas and strategies on how to effectively deal with different types of pressures that may include drinking or doing drugs.
Representatives from popular leadership groups like Butte Cares, Mariah's Challenge and Above the Influence worked with area students.
One student explained to NBC Montana just how far his group traveled to bring the Above the Influence campaign to Butte.
"Above the Influence has just been added to the area and it's becoming statewide and a group of us went to D.C. a couple years ago," said Northey Tretheway, a 12th grade student. "We brought back a lot of the Above the Influence techniques that are used today and taught to a lot of the kids here today," concluded Thretheway.

Play-By-Playmate: Jaime's Playoff Puck Preview
The seeds are set. Playoff hockey is about to begin and Jaime has a few thoughts on how the postseason might go.
If I could have been anything this weekend, I would have definitely wanted to be the owner of a sports bar. Between the close of the NHL regular season with seeding on the line and the start of the baseball season, business must have been booming. I'm going to go out a limb and say it was probably too rowdy for the Masters crowd that was also in full swing (HA!), so sports fans certainly got their fill this weekend.
At least they did down here in Tampa. The Rays swept their season opener against Yankees and Mr. Steven Stamkos scored his 60th goal. Unfortunately it was his last.
As a Tampa transplant, I've been rooting for the Lightning all season and I'm a little bummed that they won't be playing any postseason hockey. For one, they're a pretty talented team, but I think it hurts Stamkos' chances at the Hart trophy if his team isn't playing in the playoffs. And the boy deserves it! He's only the 20th player to notch 60 in a single season and he's only 22! Give the boy a prize!
Hockey wasn't a total bust in the sunshine state though. My hometown Panthers are heading back to the postseason for the first time in 12 years and playing the same team they lost to in 2000, the New Jersey Devils. The last time I was at a Panthers playoff game people were still throwing rats on the ice so I'm excited to see how far Floridians will go this year after their prolonged playoff hiatus.
Another matchup that immediately caught my eye when I saw the final standings was the Penguins and Flyers. I don't think you could pay me enough to pick a side in Pennsylvania once those games get under way. I imagine there will be more blows thrown in the bars than on the ice. These are two teams that do not like each other and I can see it going the full seven games…or until everyone is too injured to play.
Two other series I plan to monitor closely are the two involving last year's Stanley Cup teams: the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins.
Now, I know what it feels like to come in second place and being the first loser is never fun ("if you're not first, you're last!"). I feel for the Canucks but they have a hard road ahead of them to get back to the cup. The L.A. Kings? They're no joke. Jonathan Quick eats pucks for breakfast and I don't think seeding tells the whole story here. L.A. had an up and down season, but their a pretty talented group of guys and slates are wiped clean once playoffs start.
The Bruins on the other hand will have an easier go at things with the Capitals. Alex Ovechkin has a history of under-performing in the postseason and getting past Boston's back line won't make it any easier. Have you seen Zdeno Chara? He's like a solid seven feet on skates! He looks like an ogre out there! And Tim Thomas is a wizard between the pipes. No, I think the Bruins will be moving on.
One last un-hockey related note before I leave. Remember last week when I said how completely ridiculous it was that Tiger Woods with one win suddenly became a favorite to win the Masters? Well I was right. I don't mean to rub his nose in it, but c'mon! One win and you're the favorite? Since when.

REVIEW: We're the Millers
By Derek Sante - Review Nation
follow Derek
A cynical and past his prime pot dealer named David (Jason Sudeikis) has a problem. He's been robbed and now owes money to men who have no issue killing him. Given little choice and all the risk, David must figure out a way to become a drug smuggler and delivery boy or he'll be chopped up into "dime" bag sizes.
Struck by an idea, he works to put together a brilliant cover that no police or border guard would question, that of a perfect and happy family. Unfortunately, he must shop around his own block for his "family", which leaves him with a stripper wife named Rose (Jennifer Aniston), a homeless girl for a daughter and a son that gets lost in his own clothes.
Together they must pick up a "smidge" of Marijuana from Mexico and get it back to Denver by the deadline.
Much like other Over-the-Top comedies of late, We're The Millers works to push your awkward meter and cross the line of good taste whenever possible. Anyone excited for this movie knows what to expect and they will get it in droves. The regular raunchy comedy rules apply with things you can't "un-hear" and many things you can't "un-see".
Grade: B
MPAA Rating: R
Running time: 1hr 50mins.

Re: List of Clans
Stop insisting you're even close to the best. All I see is a lot of talking, no action what so ever.
Re: List of Clans
Wow, very heated indeed. Although I do have to say that someone saying they NEVER lost after a certain time would be very hard to believe. Even the most skilled warrior falls at times. Some days just aren't' your best. You'll even have a bad match every now and again.
Stuff happens.
It is times like these that I really want the 1vs1 challenge mode and to have people be allowed the spectator option.....
This would be epic and some of the trash taling MAY be put to bed.
Re: List of Clans
yeah I am not close to the best I only ranked top 10 in the beta. Although I thought I would be ranked higher, I guess we cant all get what we want. But anyways goldhawk ill let my boys take you out on release. Im done talking to you. Ill stay focused on the big pushers on erebus.

When it created iMovie in 1999, Apple Computer made digital video editing almost as easy as using a word processor--and even less expensive. Built into most modern Macintosh models is the circuitry needed to record pro-quality video from a digital camcorder, and then send the edited movies back to TV or tape with zero picture-quality loss.Now Apple takes the revolution to the next level with the dramatically enhanced iMovie 2.0. The new software adds the option of inserting new video over a continuous audio track; removes limitations on the number of raw clips from which to choose scenes; and offers bonuses such as special effects and brightness and contrast adjustments, much greater typographical flexibility in its title- and credit-maker, and a far more useful and complete audio-track editor.But one thing hasn't changed: iMovie 2, though much more sophisticated than its predecessor, still doesn't come with a single page of printed instructions.Pogue Press/O'Reilly's iMovie: The Missing Manual, released in May 2000, became an instant bestseller, requiring two reprints in three months and earning rave five-star reviews on Amazom.com. This entertaining guide covers every step of iMovie video production, from choosing and using a digital camcorder to burning the finished work onto CDs. The book's philosophy: Giving someone iMovie without also teaching basic film technique is like giving a map to a teenager without teaching him to drive.Now author David Pogue is back with an expanded, revised edition, now called iMovie 2: The Missing Manual, rewritten to cover iMovie 2 and nothing but.Far deeper and more detailed than the meager set of online help screens included with iMovie, the book helps iMovie users realize the software's potential as a breakthrough in the cost, complexity, and difficulty of desktop video production.With a technical review by Glenn Reid, architect and lead engineer of both iMovie and iMovie 2.
Our look is the result of reader comments, our own experimentation, and feedback from distribution channels. Distinctive covers complement our distinctive approach to technical topics, breathing personality and life into potentially dry subjects. Due to an annoying and permanent wrist ailment, the author wrote the chapters of this book by voice, using Dragon Naturally Speaking on a generic Windows PC. To avoid further contamination, the Microsoft Word files were then transferred as quickly as possible to a Power Mac G4, where they were edited, illustrated, and transmitted to the book's editors and technical reviewers. The screen images in this book were captured by Ambrosia Software's Snapz Pro 2 (www.ambrosiasw.com); DV footage frames were grabbed from the iMovie Monitor window or using Photo DV (www.digitalorigin.com); Adobe Photoshop 5.5 (www.adobe.com) and Macromedia Freehand (www.macromedia.com) were called in as required for touching them up.The book was designed and laid out in Adobe PageMaker 6.5 on a Power Mac 8500 and Power Mac G3. The fonts used include Formata (as the sans-serif family) and Minion (as the serif body face). To provide the apple and figs command symbols, a custom font was created using Macromedia Fontographer. The index was created using EZ Index, a Mac-only shareware indexing program by John Holder, which is available at www.northcoast.com/~jvholder. The book was then generated as an Adobe Acrobat PDF file for proofreading, indexing, and final transmission to the printing plant.

I spent two days attempting an analog to digital pass thru ,w my sony trv900 mini dv camera, before I realised it isnt possible.!!On page 114 of the missing manual it claims it is possible.!@#$#@!Anyways the book is useful but not entirely correct.--d
By Bill
One of the best computer books i've read. It was such a delight to be able tomake my first movie with this book. I especially enjoyed the chapters on film making tips and editing.
By Hans Foerstel
I read the previous reviews and endorse their praises for the book and the author. There is no way one can discover all these essential features by oneself...not efficiently, not likely before the next version of the software, if ever! I,too, appreciate very much the thoughtfulness of providing the errata via the internet. I thoroughly enjoy reading and folloiwng this manual.I am awaiting the OS 10.1 manual and hope you are working on one for the iDVD.Thanks1Hans FoerstelNov. 26,2001
By Beny
I've done real video editing, and I've been playing with iMovie for almost a year. Do I need this book? Nope. Did I *WANT* this book? Yes.I knew there had to be a few tips and tricks here and there that I hadn't figured out on my own, and sure enough, it was worth the $bux to get the extra info.There were 2 other iMovie books available, but Pogue didn't write those, so they are still sitting on the bookshelf at the store. David Pogue is one of the best writers in the genre, bar none.He's not my brother, I'm not getting paid for this...he's just that good. And so is the book.
By pier
Great book! Only 4 faces instead of full prize! Why?The tiny-tiny white fonts on a grey-sad box (on location). For an author so humoresque and brilliant the ceap gray box is a real sloppy mistake!ps.anyway i bought the iMovie 1 AND iMovie 2. I'm waiting for iMovie 3 without the gray boxes with the almost unreadable white fonts!
By Susan Sedman
Though Apple says you don't need to have a manual to use iMovie, this book allows you to move well beyond the basics of the software. After reading this book, I understand the true abilities of iMovie 2.0. A fine edition and I appreciate the lack of words such as "dummies" or "idiots" in the title!
By Walter Read
Excellent book! I truly believe that anyone can create an iMovie after reading this book, even me!!
By H. Philippens
I like this book. I had several questions about using iMovie and they are all answered. Even more, questions I should have had, are answered too!I appreciate too all the extras like this homepage.Look for my movies on the big screens of American Movie-theaters and tv!
By Barry Howell
Bravo! After doing several iMovie projects BTB (before the book) I can truly appreciate the technical makeup of this book. Anyone can produce an iMovie, but for anyone interested in squeezing every bit of power iMovie has to offer this book is a must have tool! Now if only Apple would come up with more transitions and effects!

Bulgaria Facts Flag
Bulgaria, in southeastern Europe, is dominated by rugged mountains, except for the Danube lowland in the north that it shares with Romania. Rich farmland in the Danube Valley, 130 kilometers (80 miles) of sandy beaches on the Black Sea, and mountainous terrain characterize one of Eastern Europe's least densely populated nations. Most of the population is urban; about 83 percent are Orthodox Christians, and some 12 percent are Muslim—the Rhodope Mountains, along the border with Greece, are home to many Muslims, including an ethnic Turkish minority.
Bulgarians have a tradition of gratitude towards Russians, who in 1878 helped end 500 years of Ottoman Empire rule. After World War II, communists gained control, and agriculture led the economy until the 1950s, when Russians from the Soviet Union helped finance steel mills, chemical plants, and machine shops. In 1989 communist rule ended and democratic change began. Tourists flock to Black Sea resorts and to Rila National Park, Bulgaria's largest. Kazanluk, a town in central Bulgaria and heart of the famous Valley of the Roses, exports rose oil—a precious ingredient in world perfume production. As economic conditions improved, Bulgaria joined NATO in 2004 and the EU in 2007.
