Corporate Advocacy Program™
MaxEBiz sells websites with the promise of generating income. They want to sell you a store that has lots of products, much like Amazon. Websites do not make income unless you can bring people to the site. They will tell you that once you sign up for one of their sites that many other people will begin calling you to sell you their marketing programs. You will soon find out, that the website that MaxEBiz sold you cannot be optimized and you have to build a whole new website.
MaxEBiz will also tell you that you will get hundreds of thousands of people directed to your site, but they fail to tell you that this method generates very little income. They will also show how many hits a particular website received to get you to buy into their sales gimmick.
Believe me, stay away from MaxEBiz because your site will not generate any sales unless you have communicated to lots of relatives and friends. That is the only way you will ever get traffic to your site.

Bullseye Bill in The Scenic Flint Hills , KS
The curing that I read about on the guy's blog that I mentioned earlier has brown sugar and pepper, and a couple of other seasonings that I don't recall now. He cures bacon packed in this rub for 7 days in the fridge, rinses the rub off, lets the bacon sit in the fridge for another 24 hours, then smokes it.

|Wednesday September 24, 2003
This topic is now closed - this is what you said.
My most memorial moment will be this Saturday when Brisbane beat Collingwood by 1 point in the Grand Final.
Bring out the tissues.
MCG, what an amazing place... I will never forget the Essendon Collingwood ANZAC Day draw in front of more than 95,000 people. Atmosphere is electric, its not just about the sport, its also about the whole Melbourne culture. You walk through the MCG, you just admire the whole place, you feel like a part of the sport. GO BOMBERS 2004
If there is a more awe inspiring moment than the roar following the minute's silence on the Anzac Day clash, I don't know where it occurs. Say what you like about the Aussie chestnuts of sport and diggers, but that combination of the two is one of the most 'human' moments on the cultural landscape. And thats at the start of the season! We still get to look forward to the smell of the spring sun upon the fresh grass of the 'G' at finals time, the boxing day test, the carpark bbqs on grand final day and the old boys employed in the members. Viva la G!!
G Devotee
Cricket the G - can't be beaten. 100,000 others all going for your team, it's hard to beat that kind of atmosphere.
The G still rocks though
I'll probably get lynched for this but one enduring memory for me is the Australia v. Iran World Cup qualifier in 1997. Walking into the ground, hearing the thunder-like roar and singing of the crowd and the joyous, festive atmosphere, I remember thinking that this is better than a Grand Final (I've seen 8 Grand Finals at the G). When Australia went 2-0 up, my friend next to me turned and said "we're going to France" (the venue of the 1998 World Cup). 20 minutes later the silence of the crowd was equally as deafening.
Nils von Kalm
Hahaha. Look at all the little people trying to protect their backwash. Hook line and sinker.
Europe or bust.
Europe or bust - if I'm not mistaken, the question begged melbournians to be insular and express their feelings towards a melbourne landmark. Best you leave the forum if you don't like the subject. Off to Europe you go!
Melbourne Rocks!
To Europe or bust, these forums do not show how insular we are, it shows how proud we are of our city, our state and our national treasure, the MCG. I've been to Europe mate, and trust me, home wins hands down every time.
MCG or bust
Europe or bust:
Go Pies
How could I forget Warne's Hat-trick, Garry Ablett's Normsmith medal in the 89 GF and all the great days spent with friends in the "bullring" in the Pavilion.
The G is in my blood.
The MCG is simply magnificent. My first memories of the MCG was when I went with my eldest brother to watch a Richmond vs Collingwood match in either 1973 or 1974, sitting on the old steel handrails that separated the standing room area at the back section of the old Southern Stand, and watching great players like Royce Hart, Kevin Sheedy, Kevin Bartlett, Dick Clay, Francis Bourke, Wayne and Max Richardson, Peter McKenna, Len Thompson, Twiggy Dunne, et al, and listening to the mad Tigers and Pies supporters scream at that "bl**dy mongrel Umpire Robinson" !!! Those were the days. Just a pity that I was so young at the time that I couldn't enjoy the game with a cold can of VB in my hand !!! I also remember my grandparents recalling the days when they would get the train up from Geelong to watch the Cats during their golden era in the early 1950's, and having lunch at the old Vic Hotel. The MCG, regardless of what type of grandstands it has, is a special place for everyone, whether watching sport, a religious gathering, or a rock concert. Long live the memories of the "G" !!!
The Magnificent MCG
I've had my fair share of great times at the G. Watching Langer and Hayden go to town on the Poms last boxing day test was great. The time Essendon beat Collingwood buy under a goal in around 92. (I was around 15 so the time is unclear) It was my first experience of a 90K + crowd which was fantastic. My first Cricket match with my old man where he explained all the field positions etc, I would have been 8. All the times I'd meet up with the folks from the country while I was at Uni in Geelong and we'd go to a game. To all those who think it's over rated, an eyesore and want people like me to get over it. Well you're all entitled to your opinion. But me, I love every part of it. The smelly toilets, the ageing concrete design, the booky smell of the library, the crowed bars and the old buggers in the long room. It's 20 years of great times for me. You can keep your Statue of liberty and your Opera House they will never have the same effect. Personally, that's the true history of the M.C.G. I never saw Jeza's mark or Bradman play. But I was there the day Dad explained the field positions.
These forums really show how insular Melbournians can be. I suggest getting out and seeing the world, Melbourne is just a tiny little spot in the bottom corner of the world.
Europe or bust
In my view nothing can beat the old country and suburban ground. Like the Bucket Gunt Reserve in Dimboola, I've seen some classic games in the wet there!
Rohan Thornton
1995 semi final, Matthew Knights single handedly beats the Bombers on a beautiful spring day. As a 12 year old, it is the first time I see Richmond win a final. Who could ever forget those 3 first-half goals bouncing down the wing and drilling them home. Now as a 20 year old, the amount of finals victories I have seen has been doubled. Long live the G!
Go Tigers
These forums really show how ignorant some people are, and probably the ignorance in people cause the problems we have in this world. The forum is about genuine memories you have of the MCG. It is not comparing the Eiffel Tower, or the Statue of Liberty. We are not comparing architecture. So if you have no memories of the MCG...stay out of this forum.
Ren Trinchera
I personally think the MCG is a great ground. I went to my first footy match at the G. However, disabled access needs to be improved. My girlfriend has had no end of trouble at games at the MCG, and will not go to games there if she can avoid it.
Stuck with Telstra Dome
I love the MCG. GO the Pies on Saturday
Geoffrey Gadzinski
Watching any cricket on the MCG is awesome but when the West Indies were a super power that was fantastic. Seeing Haynes, Viv, Greenidge and Clive take apart the bowling, Seeing Lillee and thomo fired up, nothing beats the cricket at the G. No ground in Australia is better than the MCG. It has to be consider the greatest ground in Australia.
It's not so much what it looks like or how dirty the toilets are, it is what goes on inside. The atmosphere created by the athletes and supports can not be beaten.
Melbourne Girl
Just reading the previous posts and I am realising some of you obviously don't appreciate what an icon the MCG is. Living in Hobart for 18 years and knowing we have nothing like it there. The first time I came to Melbourne, I went and saw Collingwood at the G - and to this day I still havent forgot the "Wow" feeling I had as I walked towards this huge ground full of history!
i remember the day they restricted every patron to bringing 24 cans of beer. that's where the dream ended and has become worse since. the memories are still there...kindof, burp!!!
2000 Preliminary Final. Essendon got their revenge on Carlton from previous year.
Bomber Fan
To Get over it, you mean the Wembley Stadium that has just recently been destroyed & reduced to rubble?
Buck Yeah
Round 17 2001, Hawthorn v. Carlton. When Ben Dixon kicked that goal after the siren to win the game for Hawthorn, the absolute elation I felt will stay with me forever. Beating Carlton like that was better than a premiership (and I've been lucky enough to see the Hawks win 3 at the G).

This is not something that the team management of Kolkata Knight Riders had expected when they began their defence of the IPL title. Though they started their campaign with a win, they are in the middle of an extremely bad phase - losing five of their next six matches. And in spite of having world class limited-over spinner in the form of Sunil Narine, they are not ending up in the winning side.
With his three wickets against Mumbai Indians on Wednesday, Narine not only became the highest wicket taker in the IPL 6 - beating Royal Challengers Bangalore's R Vinay Kumar, whose 13 wicket have come at 17.84 - but also increased his overall tally to 44 wickets in 26 games, which is the highest by a Kolkata bowler at the IPL.
So why haven't Kolkata managed to win consistently despite Narine picking up wickets for them regularly? Relying on a particular bowler to provide breakthroughs is one thing and over-relying on him is another. And that has been the case with Kolkata this season. They have over-relied on Narine, with none of the other bowlers contributing much. Jacques Kallis is a distant second in the list, with seven wickets in as many matches.
And just like their bowling, their batting too is heavily dependent on the shoulders of team's captain, Gautam Gambhir. The 31-year-old has amassed 286 runs (ave 40.85) in seven matches - the most by a Kolkata batsman at IPL 6, but he is the only one who has made a major contribution with the bat. Eoin Morgan has also played a few crucial knocks, but he lacks consistency. His 194 runs in seven matches although puts him second in scoring chart for his side, he lies way below in the overall batsmen's standings.
So unless the other members of the side contribute to the team's cause, it looks extremely difficult for KKR to change the tide. But they would want Narine and Gambhir to keep doing the good work in the remaining matches as well. Here are some other statistical highlights from the game between Kolkata and Mumbai Indians at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday.
* Sunil Narine is the first bowler to take 14 wickets at 11.35 runs apiece in seven matches, bettering R Vinay Kumar's figures of 13 at 17.84 in eight matches. His tally of 38 wickets at 12.71 runs apiece in 22 games is the highest by a Kolkata bowler at the IPL.
* Gambhir has amassed 286 runs (ave 40.85) in seven matches - the most by a Kolkata batsman at the IPL 6.
* Mumbai Indians have won nine and lost two out of eleven played against Kolkata Knight Riders at the IPL - success per centage 81.81.
* With 45 catches in 85 matches, Rohit Sharma is the top fielder at the IPL, overtaking Suresh Raina's tally of 44 in 88 matches.
* In the first over of the match, Harbhajan Singh has conceded 26 runs - the second most expensive opening over in the IPL. Mumbai's A N Ahmed had conceded 27 runs in the first over against Bangalore at Chepauk, Chennai on May 27, 2011.
* With 9 wickets at 20.66 runs apiece in six games, Mitchell Johnson is the highest wicket-taker for Mumbai Indians at the IPL 6.
* Dwayne Smith (62 off 45 balls) has recorded his second highest score at the IPL, next only to the 87 not out off 58 balls against Rajasthan Royals at Jaipur on May 20, 2012.
* Smith has received his fourth Man of the Match award at the IPL
* Rohit Sharma, with 264 runs at an average of 52.80 in seven games, is the top run-scorer for Mumbai Indians at the IPL 6.

East Gull Lake explores fire contract options
The East Gull Lake City Council has given the Brainerd Fire Department notice that the city may terminate its contract for fire protection at the end of 2014.
East Gull Lake Mayor Dave Kavanaugh said the council may still contract with Brainerd, but it is required to give a one-year notice before terminating the contract.
"What we have to do, we have to give a one-year notice under the terms of our contract. We gave the notice and we're going to just explore different options for this upcoming year," Kavanaugh said.
The city of East Gull Lake will take this one-year time period to discuss fire protection contracts with fire departments from Nisswa and Pillager. Those fire departments are roughly the same distance from East Gull Lake.
"We are going to take a good hard look at that and see if either one of those fit, and we're also going to enter into discussion with Brainerd to look at trying to shave some costs off what our contract is right now. It might be possible, it might not," Kavanaugh said.
Kavanaugh said the city has been contracting with Brainerd since before he began working with the city more than 11 years ago. He said the fire department responds to an average of six calls per year in East Gull Lake.
"It's primarily a cost issue. Brainerd's got a fine department. I've told that to the chief numerous times. This certainly doesn't reflect at all on Brainerd Fire Department. They have an excellent fire department. Overall, with the service we've been provided, we've been happy with it. But when you look at the limited amount of calls we've had and a cost we have on an annual basis, that's right around $10,000 a call," Kavanaugh said. "That's rather steep. I know we've got to provide service for our residents, but I know when we've talked to other departments we can shave those costs down considerably."
Kavanaugh said preliminary contract prices have been roughly one half of the current price, though there are other factors to consider.
"The only change, and this is one of the things we have to look at, is that Brainerd is a full-time department. Their response time is excellent. Usually within a minute or two after a call comes in they are responding," Kavanaugh said.
Kavanaugh hopes to have contract negotiations done within the first six months of 2014 so budgets can be prepared in time. The Brainerd Fire Department will have a fire association meeting in January where some of these discussions can continue.


text: Good day all. Yes I know, yet another variation on the dying engine, but maybe someone knows. It starts just fine when cold. I drive for a bit, then I can come to a stop and it will die. I can get it restarted by turning the key with the pedal to the floor. I have to rev and rev then drop in gear and move before it dies again. After a bit, I can come up to a stop light and it will stay running. Then it might misfire some while driving but stay running. Then at the next light it might die. I have to get it from Lake Whitney back to my house in Wylie tomorrow. Any thoughts? This may sound downright stupid but if I go disconnect the battery for a little bit will the computer reset and perhaps work better? Or will that make it worse? thanks in advance.

A rep called me around a month ago saying I owed a company but could not provide me with the information, but eventually agreed to send me the information in the mail. I got a call today saying they sent me the information twice and that I was now in default and needed to pay now. I got frustrated and agreed to pay the $58.13 to get this matter done with. After they got all my checking information, the conversation took a real turn. They refused to send me any further information, and then refused to give me any corporate headquarters information. I searched the web and found the corp info and called them. They have no record of me or an account with the company. When I called back numerous times to get more info, they Mrs. Harley threatened to call the local police department.
Watch out for this company, they threaten, and want to know all my business information as well as my DBA, under the pretense of "Oh we are just updating our information". [continued below]....

Date of Stay: May, 2013
We won't ever stay here again. We have been patrons of this park for a decade- and-a-half. It has had its ups and downs. The landscaping is currently improving, but we just can't balance the negatives with any kind of value any more. The road through the park is gravel and dusty and the grass does not get watered during the dry season. The facilities are run-down (old restrooms and showers, lighting that is out and hasn't been replaced, etc.) They charge for showers and the water in the showers will suddenly fluctuate from hot to ice cold - and then not return to hot! The beach access is convenient and appears to be the only remaining value, but the beach can be easily accessed by the county park next door (all of Oregon's beaches are public beaches). The price averages $10 higher than comparable parks and it is further out of town. Additionally, although we have been long-term patrons of this park, the current management and ownership are intolerable, and we won't return. We suggest you stay at the County RV park next door (Bastendorf). The restroom/showers are also old, but the water temperature is stable, same beach, lower price, vegetation between the sites,a children's play area, and very nice park hosts.
Date of Stay: April, 2013
Very nice park with nice, welcoming hosts who were concerned about our comfort. Vegetation between sites for privacy. Several different areas in the park to choose from. Nice playground area with view of the ocean. The price is very good (we had water and electricity). The showers/bathrooms are a little run-down, but the water temp is stable. The beach is very nice. The only down-side for us is that you can't make reservations - it's first come, first served.

Excellent now we can continue on with one of the most famous encounters from this adventure path!
Finally, as the sun begins to set, everyone is gathered around the central podium. As the crowd grows ever larger and the last few stragglers make it to the group father Zantus takes the central podium. He uses a thunderstone to attract everyone's attention, and clears his throat as he prepares to recite the Prayer of First Dreaming. A sharp retort to the thunderstone, like the crack of distant thunder, slices through the excited crowd as the sun's setting rays paint the western sky. A stray dog that has crawled under a nearby wagon to sleep starts awake, and the buzz of two dozen conversations quickly hushes as all heads turn toward the central podium, where a beaming Father Zantus has taken the stage. He clears his throat, takes a breath to speak, and suddenly a woman's scream slices through the air. A few moments later, another scream raises, then another. Beyond them, a sudden surge of strange new voices rises. High-pitched, tittering shrieks that sound not quite human fill the air. The crowd parts and something low to the ground races by, giggling with disturbing glee as stray dog gives a pained yelp and then collapses with a gurgle, its throat cut open from ear to ear. As blood pools around its head, the raucous sound of a strange song begins, chanted from shrill, scratchy voices.
Everyone please roll me initiatives and then please roll me perception checks
The shape that raced by and killed the dog now hides at the wagon's edge-a single goblin, licking the blood from its dogslicer as it looks excitedly at the crowd, seeking out a new target.
The song that the goblins are singing can be found here...sorry for very poor sound quality.
|Noro Kasuri
initiative 1d20 + 1 ⇒ (10) + 1 = 11
Perception 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (14) + 4 = 18
Damn, here in town? Noro stands puts her and on Jerome's shoulder. looksh like we have shome uninvited guestsh. her muscles tense up as she gets ready to smash some goblin heads.
|DM Mathpro
Surprise round wrap up.
As some of you are about to rush forward to engage the goblin two more show up at your flank. The crowd scatters and chaos ensues as the goblins start making there way towards some of the townsfolk. One of the goblins climbs up on a table and raises his dogslicer high over his head ready to draw it down on a poor young woman but Zelladania thinks fast and lets loose an arrow that pierces right through the creatures throat. Blood spirts out of the creature as he first falls to his knees and then off the table. The woman screams in horror and faints but she is safe. Another goblin starts making its way towards the crowd. It tries to draw its dogslicer but drops it. The third goblin draws his dogslicer and starts advancing on Zelladania, saying something in a strange tongue.
"You killed friend, now I kill you"
Jerome Init:1d20 + 2 ⇒ (8) + 2 = 10
Goblin Init:1d20 + 6 ⇒ (1) + 6 = 71d20 + 6 ⇒ (19) + 6 = 251d20 + 6 ⇒ (14) + 6 = 20
As you can see I hand wave rules sometimes for cinematic affect...hope you don't mind.
Can I please get you to post 2 possible actions for your next turn. You do not need to post them in any particular order.
attack with bow 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (20) + 3 = 23
confirm 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (5) + 3 = 8
damage 1d6 ⇒ 4
Zella will aim and fire at the goblin advancing upon her. If someone manages to drop him before he gets to her she shoots at the nearest other goblin. If he stays up but gets too close, Zella will back up as necessary before firing upon him.
What is going on here? Doesn't seem normal for cowardly, rotten little gobs to be attacking such a large festival?"
Jerome will draw his sword and interpose himself between the goblin and Zelladania, striking when it gets into range.
Greatsword: 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (12) + 4 = 162d6 + 3 ⇒ (6, 3) + 3 = 12
Jerome will hold steady and attack any advancing goblin as his actions.
Viviana is wearing only her cleric's vestments , her AC is just 12
Viviana will move through the crowd towards the nearest goblin ,and jab at him if possible.
attack with glaive 1d20 + 4 ⇒ (10) + 4 = 14
damage 1d10 + 0 ⇒ (2) + 0 = 2
If not she will look around to see if someone is hurt.
In case something attacks her she will use her adoration power (DC 15)
Xogar will keep close to anyone who looks like they are being attacked or would not withstand an attack.
"Fiend! There will be no quarter given. Die!"
Attack: 1d20 + 3 ⇒ (4) + 3 = 7
Damage: 1d8 + 2 ⇒ (4) + 2 = 6
None for me today.
|Noro Kasuri
sorry for the delay -- no excuses
"Never knew you could shoot" Noro comments to Zella
seeing Jerome take a position to protect Zella, Noro will make her way to the goblin hiding at the wagon.
I shee you; you little creep she slips on her brass knuckles as she move toward him.
Attack 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (8) + 5 = 13
Damage 1d3 + 5 ⇒ (3) + 5 = 8
|Noro Kasuri
forgot my second action.
in cast the goblin at the wagon is already dealt with
Noro takes a position with Jerome to protct the archer Zella so she can attack with her bow. keeping an eye out for additional goblin attackers.

weekends are usually slow posting anyway
Round 1 wrap up.
Zella will aim and fire at the goblin advancing upon her. The arrow shots true and hits the goblin in the shoulder. The creature lets out a howl but continues to come at the young archer. Before Jerome can get there to intervene he draws his dogslicer and tries to strike at the young beautiful archer. The wicked blade connects with her leg and she takes 2 points of damage. Viviana you jab at one of the goblins but your strike misses. Xogar you strike at the goblin that Viviana tries to attack and miss. Noro you head towards Zelladania and try to strike at the goblin but your punch misses. Jerome you move to set up a flank with Zelladania and swing your greatsword at the goblin that attacked her. It explodes in a pool of blood as your sword cleaves it in two. Such a mighty show of strength for someone who just hours before hurt himself. The goblin that Xogar and Viviana tried attacking will try to go after the large half orc with its dogslicer but it misses wildly.
Dogslicer attack on Zelladania:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 191d4 + 1 ⇒ (1) + 1 = 2
Dogslicer attack on Xogar:1d20 + 3 ⇒ (11) + 3 = 141d4 + 1 ⇒ (2) + 1 = 3
Zellandia:2 points
Not a bad round...oh the joys of level one lol. Post your next actions plese. Noro i changed your actions because your not at the wagon quite yet...thats the next battle scene.
Zella give a small cry of pain as the goblin's weapon cuts into her thigh. Worried about how to fend off the goblin at close range, she is relieved to see both Noro and Jerome come to her aid. With a nod of thanks to both, Zella looks about for a new target.
Spotting a goblin attacking a half-orc, Zella grimaces as she takes a step towards them and them fires her bow.
5ft step and fire
1d20 + 3 ⇒ (16) + 3 = 19
damage 1d6 ⇒ 1
Seeing that the creature's attention is occupied,Viviana tries to move behind him and strikes again.
Move to flank if possible
attack1d20 + 4 ⇒ (2) + 4 = 6
damage1d10 ⇒ 2
But gets entangled in her dress and almost falls.
|Noro Kasuri
The goblin on Nor has pissed Noro off Hold shtill ya little... as she manuvers for a roundhouse kick on the goblin
Attack (unarmed strike) 1d20 + 5 ⇒ (16) + 5 = 21

Round 2 wrap up
Zella give a small cry of pain as the goblin's weapon cuts into her thigh. Worried about how to fend off the goblin at close range, she is relieved to see both Noro and Jerome come to her aid. With a nod of thanks to both, Zella looks about for a new target. Spotting a goblin attacking a half-orc, Zella grimaces as she takes a step towards them and them fires her bow. The arrow sticks squarely in the goblins shoulder but it seems unphased by it. Seeing that the creature's attention is occupied,Viviana tries to move behind him and strikes again but she gets tangled in her dress and almost falls. Xogar swings again well yelling "Hold still!". His mighty sword slices into the creature and it drops.
You hear the screams of more terror filled citizens of sandpoint as more goblins flood into the city. You take a second to gather your wits about you but that minor pause proves costly as a loud explosion is heard from up the street from where you are. As you rush to see what happened you see 3 more goblins wielding torches and another goblin standing behind them singing. The ones holding torches rush towards the party, evil intent glimmering in their eyes.
go ahead and post actions for the next round of combat on the new goblins
|Noro Kasuri
looksh like your not such a bad warrior after all Noro comments to Jerome after the turnaround from the weight lifting competition.[/b]
but the converation is cut short with the newest batch of goblins entering the fray.
after a quick scan of her comapnions Jerome, protect the archers, I'm going after that one in the back, he might be a leader
Noro moves toward the drummer rage building up inside.
if within a charge range then Noro will charge the drummer and make a diving grapple attack to bring him to the ground. Grapple attempt: 1d20 + 9 ⇒ (8) + 9 = 17 diveing attack is really a cinimatic maneuver
|DM Mathpro
Round 3 wrap up
Zelladania will fire an arrow at one of the torch wielding goblins rushing them. The arrow flies true and strikes the goblin right in the chest. The goblin that was struck with the arrow will rush up to Viviana and swing his torch at the young woman. He begins his swing but something interferes with it and he drops his torch and looks down at it rather confused. Viviana hits the goblin that is defenseless standing in front of her. Another goblin steps up and tries to attack Xogar with his torch, but his swing goes wide. Noro charges the singing goblin and makes a diving attempt to pin the goblin down.will charge the drummer and make a diving grapple attack to bring him to the ground. The goblin and Noro collide and for the moment Noro has the goblin pinned but he is continuing to sing. Jerome strikes the goblin standing in front of Xogar with his great sword. The sword catches the poor creature in the arm opening up a very large gash. The last torch weilding goblin moves in towards Noro and tries to burn him but misses with the torch. The Singing goblin will try to take control of the grapple but he is easily no match for the strong barbarian.

In the last 90 days, 0 listings have come on the market, which means leases most likley are going fast. You'll want to be prepared to tour spaces as quick as possible. About NaN% of the listings in the Sherwood - Tualatin North are subleases, so you will probably need to consider the implications of signing a direct lease with the building. There aren't many listings below 2,000 square feet on the market, so finding a space for a small business might be tough.
The standard measurement for office space in this area is around sqft. Most buildings in this area were built in 2000 and are Class A.
Not much of the real estate is used for commercial space, so it might be hard to find office space. Manufacturing is the dominant industry in this region. Commute by walking is the most popular way to get to work amongst Sherwood - Tualatin North residents. Commuting around 20 minutes a day is the norm for those who opt to reside in this part of town.

After years of achieving 200 percent self-confidence gains among university women, you might wonder: What's the big deal about self confidence? I mean, sure everyone talks about self-confidence. But what is really the actual importance of it? Here is the answer. Moms, daughters, sisters, dads, cool brothers, uncles, listen up:
It's ALL about confidence for girls and women.
Our entire lives and professions are guided on our perceptions about our abilities versus our actual abilities.
EXAMPLE: Theresa and Tom can both go to Stanford and graduate with engineering degrees. But studies show that Theresa will feel deficient or "lesser than" Tom.
The following is a three step exercise I use in my classes and my seminars designed to measurably increase the confidence of women and girls:
The Sisterhood of Success Equation
#1 Grip – First, you must get a grip.
- Women are busy. As discussed in my last post, women have the most opportunities, and the most responsibilities, than at any point in modern history. This is why the topic of work-life balance dominates the media.
- To do: Create a half –hour per day by combining and/or having "reality checks" with current activities. You need this time for steps 2 and 3.
- Inside scoop: A little tough love is needed here. Think you can't find half an hour? Think again. Use the scrubby bubbles on your calendar.
- You've just gotten a piece of your dream back. You've just created some time on your plate for you. Goody. This is especially helpful for "the givers." You know who you are… you who cancel your mammogram and take your kid to the doctor for a cold. You will tell a friend how great she is, but beat yourself up relentlessly. So, now it's time to give to yourself. In this step we focus on YOU and a goal of yours! GOAL is step number two.
- To do: Identify a big personal or professional goal or challenge. NEXT, think about five areas in which you need to "get smart" to move closer to accomplishing the goal or tackling the challenge.
- Tip: If you're wondering "is this a good goal or challenge" you should be able to answer "yes" to the following question: "Will I be proud of myself if I accomplish this goal or make a dent in this challenge?"
- Got friends? Mentorship correlates to success. Also, there is literally no research out there to show going at it alone is beneficial in ANY way, AT ALL. But we do it all the time. We isolate ourselves. We tell ourselves it is because we "should do this or that." What are we doing? We need to get old school and talk to people! Time to bring the neighbor a cup of sugar. It will make you more successful, and happier. Yes, data actually shows this. This is the GET stage of the equation where you'll establish five supportive relationships around your goal.
- To do: Seek out mentors or experts in each of your five areas established in #2 GOAL. Set up a meeting or coffee with a mentor/expert in each area to bring you closer to reaching your goal. Let them know you have identified them as an expert. People don't like, "Oh, could you meet for coffee?" It's wishy washy. Be specific and give a time window. If they don't bite, move onto another. Don't be shy, this is your future. You're investing in yourself.
If done correctly, these steps will measurably increase your confidence.

Lack of Attention to 1983 Borah Earthquake Raised in Idaho Gold Mine ControversyThe Boise Weekly reports Idaho has received its first application in more than 10 years for a new cyanidation gold mining facility. Desert Mineral Mining's proposed small facility is located a 15-mile crow's flight from downtown Boise off of Blacks Creek Road in northwest Elmore County. The article notes that 90 percent of the gold mined in the U.S.uses cyanide. The article criticizes the application because it is not even mention the earthquake hazard of the Borah 7.3 quake in 1983.
Cyanide solutions readily bond with gold, silver and other metals, which is why the mining industry uses it. Cyanide is usually stored and transported as a solid. It is stable when dry. Most cyanide solids will dissolve in water to produce toxic cyanide gas. Cyanide gas is colorless and smells like bitter almonds. How does cyanide affect living organisms?
Cyanide is highly toxic. It is the killing agent used in gas chambers. Cyanide poisoning can occur through inhalation, ingestion, and skin or eye contact. One teaspoon of a 2% solution can kill a person. In general, fish and other aquatic life are killed by cyanide concentrations in the microgram per liter (part per billion) range, whereas bird and mammal deaths result from cyanide concentrations in the milligram per liter (part per million) range. Evidence shows that cyanide compounds linger in affected plant and fish tissues and can persist in the environment for long periods of time.

Hello Firefall fans! Launch is only a week away, and today we bring you our 8th and final Path to Launch Blog! Several weeks ago in Path to Launch Blog #5 we discussed the 20-player Devil's Tusk pushback raid, and we teased that we had more instanced content coming with launch. Today we are excited to discuss the details of our other two 20-player instances that are housed within Devil's Tusk, both of which involve combat with the unnatural monstrosities known as Melding Titans. Both of these titans are located within their own individual instances which become available once the second stage of the Devil's Tusk Melding pushback is complete, and both are intended for 20 max-level players.
Click image for full-size version
Long time players will recognize the terrifying yet strangely adorable monster known as the Baneclaw, and we're excited to announce that it's gotten an update! For those who are unfamiliar, Baneclaw is a scarab which has been mutated by the Melding and grown to a massive size. Targeted attacks and numerous hellclaw minions will keep you on your toes as the Baneclaw rolls in and out of the arena, meaning you will need eyes on the back of your head to make it through this encounter alive!
A note for long-time players: The new Baneclaw does not require a Melding Anomaly Neutralizer (MAN) to play. However, if you still have one, hang on to it! The reason we didn't remove these during the item migration is that they will have a use in the future.
Click image for full-size version
Our second Melding Titan is known as Kanaloa the Destroyer. Kanaloa is a melded lava worm, and its lair lies at the heart of the Devil's Tusk volcano where it makes its nest in the pool of lava contained within. This lair is littered with elevated platforms that provide ample vantage points for players to rain down fire on the titan at its center. You will have to keep your wits about you though, for as the fight progresses, the lava will rise, taking away more and more of the floor space until eventually, those tall isolated platforms are the only refuge you have left from the deadly molten pool below. The thick skin that makes Kanaloa impervious to the intense heat of its home also makes it extremely resistant to anything you have at your disposal, meaning you will need to aim at the weak spots on its back to be able to do any damage. Even if you manage to avoid falling into the lava and dodge Kanaloa's devastating flame-based attacks, you will still have to watch out for the lava crabs that inhabit the cracks and crevasses around the perimeter of the cave.
Click image for full-size version
Both of these titan battles provide great rewards including top-end loot, and both of them have a 7 day personal lockout timer that activates upon their successful completion. There is only so much about these encounters that can be explained through text; if you want the full experience you'll have to try them out for yourself! Make sure to head to Devil's Tusk and start collecting Dark Crystite to permanently push back the Melding and unlock these battles for everyone to enjoy. There are three stages, and each is harder than the last, so every little bit helps!
In addition, we have received some scattered reports of a third Melding Titan that has been found somewhere within Firefall. Its exact whereabouts are unknown, but if you find it, you'll know…
This is the end of our Path to Launch blog series, and we really hope you have enjoyed reading about the updates and additions that have been made to Firefall in preparation for its launch. We look forward to having even more exciting things to reveal to you in the future. One week from today, the floodgates will open, the "Beta" tag will be dropped, and Firefall will officially be launched! We are so excited to share all of our hard work with the world, though July 29th is not the end of the journey, but rather the beginning! See you in game!
Firefall is the much-anticipated free-to-play sci-fi MMO shooter from Red 5 Studios. Play for FREE starting July 29th, 2014 on Steam! Want access earlier than that? Click here for more information on our early access program!
Can't wait for launch on July 29th? Neither can we! Stay up-to-date with the latest news, media, and giveaways by liking us on Facebook, following us on Twitter, and subscribing to our YouTube channel. And follow us on Twitch to catch our weekly livestreams!

bryant electric furnace
My brother just called with a problem with his 20 year old bryant electric furnace (like I know anything about these things).
I have not seen the furnace yet, but the problem he is having is that he can't control the furnace from the stat. He turns it on and off from the furnace it self.
Before I go there and make a fool of myself, can anyone give me some tips on what to look for, where to possibly take some electrical readings and so on?
How do I check the stat to see if that is the problem?
Thanks for any advice you can give me.
Electric furnaces are very dangerous DIY projects unless you have previous electrical skills. They use 240 volts and the main breaker (which can be you) is usually 100 amps or more. He probably has some sticking sequencers which may be obsolete on the older units. I would recommend a qualified electrician check it out for safety reasons. $$ ain't worth dying for.
Some "service" electricians I know who do service and controls work are very good. The installing type usually are not good at service. Our poster is very inexperienced and to work on an electric furnace it has to be "live". Hopefully he stays that way.
yuri: Thanks for the advice. I will probably take it and inform him to get professional help.
I would like to see my 55th birthday standing not in a coffin.
There are several things that could cause it.
A competant and experienced service tech should be able to locate the problem relatively quickly.
Might be best to use one in theis case. So both you and your brother are covered. And neither has to explain to the others wife, why the house caught fire. Or all the electrical wiring started to melt. Or worse.

The Future of Milk
By David Goodman, "The Future of Milk," July/August 2010
As small dairy farms are vanishing, what is happening to our milk?
"Skip the milk produced by the big commercial dairy farms. Better yet, go vegan or vegetarian and support dairy and cattle farmers that switch to growing vegetables and fruit which are more healthy and ecological alternatives. Too much of...

Woodard, a tall, affable man in grimy jeans and a flannel shirt, motions me to walk with him to his farmhouse so he can cook himself his daily breakfast of fried eggs, toast and coffee. Old wooden floors creak underfoot as we step through the kitchen clutter. He reaches into his refrigerator and suddenly switches from dairy farmer to milk evangelist, his classic Vermont accent thickening as he proselytizes.
"Milk is not just a drink," he holds forth in the middle of his kitchen. "It's food!" Woodard suddenly pauses his sermon, leans toward me furtively and probes in a low voice, as if letting me in on a vaguely illicit secret, "Have ya ever had fresh, whole milk right from the cow?" I had not, I confess. What little milk I drink comes out of a plastic jug. Woodard grabs a Mason jar, pours me a glass of milk and thrusts it toward me with great fanfare. "This milk is an hour old," he declares proudly.
The rich, white, unpasteurized milk swirls in the glass container, clinging to the sides. I lift the jar, and my mouth is suddenly flooded with incredibly creamy, buttery milk. It is unlike anything I have ever tasted—a full-course meal in a glass.*

Email bankruptcy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Email bankruptcy is a term used to explain a decision to delete all emails older than a certain date, due to an overwhelming volume of messages. The term is usually attributed to author Lawrence Lessig in 2004,[1] though it can also be attributed to Dr. Sherry Turkle in 2002.[2]
An insurmountable volume or backlog of legitimate messages (e.g. maybe on return from an extended vacation) may also lead to bankruptcy.
During the act of declaring email bankruptcy, a message is usually sent to all senders explaining the problem, that their message has been deleted, and that if their message still requires a response they should resend their message.[3][4][5]

The Mobile Connect application has six large buttons at the top. The far left button is the most important – the Connect button. Pressing the Connect button will, unsurprisingly, connect you to the service, at which point the button will change to Disconnect. Next to the Connect/Disconnect button is a very handy and important button marked Usage. Pressing this button gives you an indication of how much data you have downloaded, and allows you to keep track of your usage, saving you from large, unexpected bills.
The next button along is marked SMS, and brings up a screen that allows you to type in SMS messages and send them directly to someone's phone. You can build a contact database here as well, making it easy to send a text message to someone quickly.
The next two buttons are Email and Web, but the chances are that you've set these to be your default applications, so you could just as easily click your desktop icons to access them. Next you have IM, which stands for Instant Messenger, and again you can use your preferred application or the Vodafone messenger. The last button is labelled Support and points you either to the Vodafone website or the support telephone numbers.
Connection via 3G will give you up to 384Kbits/sec download speed – uploads are limited to 64Kbits/sec, but this shouldn't be too much of an issue for most users. Of course this high-speed connectivity depends entirely on whether you can access Vodafone's 3G network from your location. I used the card all over London, and only once, in Harrow, did it have to drop down to GPRS. Since my office is in Bracknell, outside London, Vodafone advised me that I probably wouldn't be able to get 3G coverage there. However, this proved to be inaccurate, and the Mobile Connect locked onto a strong 3G signal without any issues at all.
When the service drops to GPRS you'll see a big drop in speed, down to 56Kbits/sec. That said, this is still ok for email duties and web browsing, as long as the pages aren't too graphically heavy. You can also attach an optional aerial to the Mobile Connect, and when I was using the card in Harrow, I initially found no signal at all, but plugging in the extended aerial resulted in a strong GPRS connection.
In use the Mobile Connect worked brilliantly. I connected it to a plethora of different notebooks and had no issues with any of them. I have carried the Mobile Connect pretty much everywhere with me over the last couple of months, and I just can't imagine ever being without it. There's something compelling about being able to open up my notebook and get online no matter where I am. I even found myself surfing the web when I was stuck in a very dull meeting at one point – not that this should be encouraged of course.

Date of Stay: May, 2012
First all, this park is not your typical park. We stayed at site Loop PM27 for four nights of the Suwannee River Jam. The Jam itself was outstanding. Partying with tens of thousands of our closest friends! But now to the camping. The camp site did not come close to being as advertised. Site was too narrow. Could not open the awning, too close to trees. NASCAR parking is more room. Advertised cable TV at all sites. Nope, not there. Constant power brown outs. Sure glad we have a Progressive Industries power monitor! 3 hour power outage on Thursday. 3 hour water outage on Friday. Nasty bathrooms at anytime of day. And the worst: No dump station available on Sunday morning when everybody was leaving. The front office stated, "The dump stations don't open till 1:00 PM." The maintenance man stated, "Oh, the dump stations pump has been broken." Would go again for the music only, camp area not worth the money!
Date of Stay: April, 2012
Good campground to explore St Augustine. Only drawback, very, very sandy. Beach across street is great!

After receiving a surprising snail mail piece from a geo-company, I asked: Which are you most likely to respont to positively?
Eighteen readers responded.
67% - Neither, I ignore them all!
23% - E-mailed unsolicted geo communications
12% - Snail mail unsolicited geo mailings
So perhaps its best to pack in the stamps, at least for this crowd. Next up: What's the most valuable thing you bring home from a geo-conference?

Astley's Circus was the brainchild of equestrian trainer and trick rider Philip Astley (1742-1814), hence the heavy reliance on horses in the bill presented here. At the time of this advertisement, the circus and its permanent base – Astley's Amphitheatre on Westminster Bridge Road – were owned by Andrew Ducrow (1793-1842). Ducrow was himself a skilled equestrian and kept many of Astley's other innovations in circus-presentation (most obviously the practice of seating the audience around a central circus ring), but he also began to diversify the entertainments to include performances by wild animals – hence the 'Living Lions' at the bottom of the bill.
Charles Dickens visited this incarnation of Astley's Circus several times during the 1830s, and wrote about it in his Sketches by Boz (1836). Recalling his childhood visits, he remarks: 'Astley's has altered for the better – we have changed for the worse.' By this he meant that the innocent glee of the audiences of prior years, his own glee included, had become something more worldly and dispirited. Dispirited or not, Dickens would use the circus as a central location and theme in Hard Times (1854): the innocent illusions of Sleary's Circus being held in healthy contrast to the industrial society that would turn workers into 'melancholy-mad elephants'.

Design consultancy in support of RWJF's Project HealthDesign program
The Foundation's program, Catalyzing a Health Information Environment to Support Individuals and Families, was designed to expand the personal health records vision and encourage the market to develop a variety of products that will meet the diverse needs of patients. The Vanderbilt Center for Better Health (VCBH) will lead the eight-member grantee team of Project HealthDesign to develop their concepts for personal health record applications. The primary focus of Project HealthDesign is to develop a diverse array of innovative applications for personal health records. Through the development of these applications, a common platform for a personal health record can be shaped. The design challenge of this project is to coordinate the development of the eight individual designs (which will begin at various stages of development) so that they can interact with each other as appropriate and so that they, collectively, can elicit the requirements for a common platform.VCBH has experience in leading groups through the stages of technological design, primarily by hosting DesignShops. DesignShops are "workshops designed, facilitated and supported by VCBH personnel" to achieve results that often take months using traditional project methods. The grantee will host three workshops with the grantees to guide the development of individual concepts. The deliverables will include improvements to the prototypes and design documentation that will inform the common platform. Additionally, VCBH brings to this project the Innovation Center, a physical environment which supports intense group activity and the design cycle, and a staff of experts in informatics, management, medicine, and health. The combination of methodology, environment and staff will guide the eight-member grantee team to develop prototype applications for personal health records, and elements of a common platform.

Makes 30 canapés 12 servings
In Verona, Italy, some cooks liked to use horseradish instead of pepper and one finds horseradish in the cooking of Friuli-Venezia Giulia as well. These very simple canapés are slightly spicy from the horseradish, but not overly so. Decorate the top with a small leaf of watercress if you like.
3 ounces whipped cream cheese
1/4 cup peeled and grated fresh horseradish
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 cup finely chopped fresh watercress
Thirty 1/4-inch-thick slices French baguette
In a medium-size bowl, mix the cream cheese, horseradish, sour cream, and watercress until well blended, keeping to the side some watercress leaves for garnishing the tops, if desired. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the mixture on each slice of bread and serve.

At Hastings High School in Alief, nearly three-quarters of the students come from low income families.
But in 2011, 165 students were reported as leaving Hastings to attend private schools, according to state records. That's nearly 14 percent of students who started as freshmen four years earlier.
That raises a red flag for Bob Sanborn, president and CEO of the advocacy group Children at Risk.
"You don't get 165 kids out of one high school just leaving and going to some private school. One they can't really afford it."
Sanborn sees another problem with the private schools themselves.
They're not elite schools like St. Johns in River Oaks.
Students pay a fee. But critics say the focus is on the diploma and not the education.
Sanborn has another name for them: "diploma mills."
"Places where you pay anywhere between $30 to $300 and you get your high degree in the mail. These are kids that will be classified as high school graduates. They won't be classified as dropouts. But in a sense, they never got a real education. They basically just went to this mill that manufactured this piece of paper and now they won't be counted as dropouts.
Sanborn says the situation reveals a problem with how Texas tracks students who don't graduate.
At Hastings there are more students enrolling in private schools than actual dropouts, which were listed as fewer than 75 in 2011.
Hastings has seen one of the biggest increases of students who leave for private schools. The number has more than doubled in just two years.
The Alief Independent School District declined to comment on this issue.
But Alief School Board member Sarah Winkler says it bothers her.
She says the district can't do much about it because the state doesn't regulate private schools.
"That's how they've managed to stay in business thus far, because I don't think anybody thinks that this is right. The question is they're private. They don't get state money. You know, how does a state regulate something like a private school?"
It's not just an issue in Alief.
Private schools are drawing students from other low-income schools in the Houston area.
At Madison, Lee and Jones high schools almost 10 percent of students who started as freshmen left for a private school by their senior year in 2011.
Ten years earlier this type of transfer was not as common.

Yeah, I managed to get a hold of Ford Motor companies customer service center and I've already filed a complaint against the dealer through Ford mostly for the all the loops they have me jumping through (should have been a pretty straight forward deal to begin with and I should have had a car 2 weeks ago) as well as an issue with their insurance that I for the life of me couldn't figure it.
I had talked to one of the two sales reps yesterday about the incident and what we can work out on with the price and was told they can't do anything with the price, and it's take it or leave kind of deal at this point. When I questioned them about their insurance on the vehicle I was told that they're not having insurance cover the incident and that they're paying for the repairs out of pocket which is better for me as it means the damage won't show up on any VIN number review search (carfax, etc.) which to me seems horribly unethical especially if I go to sell the car in the future, granted I would alert the buyer about the incident. Another thing I was told was that the person who supposedly hit the car did not have an ID on them at the time of the accident so their insurance is not being used if they had any to begin with.
I did talk to Ford Motor company some more about further rebates they may be able to offer me for buying an already damaged vehicle from one of their dealers and understandably they couldn't really do much as dealers are privately owned/operated.
I did however manage to get a hold of the sales manager (he seems to be the only guy with common sense at the dealership) and talked to him about the incident and what can be done to fix this situation. It turns out though that the sales reps surpassed him and went straight to the general manager about everything so the dealership seems to be at a bit of a stalemate over this whole deal. I am waiting on a phone call from the sales manager today and we'll see what happens.
I've already begun to call other dealers in the area to see if they can match the price on a "new" vehicle with the same setup, if they can and the current dealer won't budge on their price, I'd much rather spend my money elsewhere.
