As your district moves into Common Core Standards your schools will be facing several challenges and adjustments. One of those adjustments is adding keyboarding into your 3rd and 4th grade curriculum. Sunburst has been the proud publisher of the Type to Learn series for over ten years.
The following is a great resource from Common Core State Standards Initiative and defines what the standards are and how they apply to your district.
The Common Core State Standards Initiative is a state-led effort coordinated by the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices (NGA Center) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). The standards were developed in collaboration with teachers, school administrators, and experts, to provide a clear and consistent framework to prepare our children for college and the workforce.
The NGA Center and CCSSO received initial feedback on the draft standards from national organizations representing, but not limited to, teachers, postsecondary educators (including community colleges), civil rights groups, English language learners, and students with disabilities. Following the initial round of feedback, the draft standards were opened for public comment, receiving nearly 10,000 responses.
The standards are informed by the highest, most effective models from states across the country and countries around the world, and provide teachers and parents with a common understanding of what students are expected to learn. Consistent standards will provide appropriate benchmarks for all students, regardless of where they live.
These standards define the knowledge and skills students should have within their K-12 education careers so that they will graduate high school able to succeed in entry-level, credit-bearing academic college courses and in workforce training programs. The standards:

I have changed my blog a little bit to greater reflect what it actually is. Whereas before the blog was called "The Exchange Hosted Services – Spam Team Blog" now it is called "Terry Zink's Spam Team Blog." It is not an official blog by the spam team, rather, it is a blog about what it's like to fight spam written by one of the members of the spam team.
I actually think this is going to work a little bit better for me because now I can write about more than just spam, though spam will likely be the primary focus. On the other hand, methinks that this site will no longer turn up as the number 2 search on Google.

I had closed rhinoplasty 4 months ago to fix my hanging columella. Although I did immediately see a difference right after surgery I haven't seen it lift much since. I spoke with my doctor and he said it will still lift but in order for the results I want it has to lift another 4mm or so, and the tip has to begin to point slightly up instead of straight. Is this possible? Can the shape really still change that much? I'm very nervous I won't see the results I was looking for.
Will my columella still lift? 4 months since closed rhinoplasty
Doctor Answers 3
Will My Columella Still Lift
A nose will continue to change for up to 1 year after a rhinoplasty but without pictures I cannot be more specific in answering your question. It is best to be patient at this time.
Will my columella still lift? 4 months since closed rhinoplasty
The nose can be swollen for up to a year or more. Swelling will depend upon the nature of maneuvers employed, presence of grafts or implants, thickness of skin, open vs closed, revision vs primary, etc.

Hanging columella
Without photos and an examination and review of your operative note, it is impossible to give an intelligent answer. That said from your description a hanging columella will not spontaniously relift after surgery and a drooping tip will also not spontaniously get higher. I would see my PS in two more months and ask what can be done if you see no change.

BodyGroup Of The Month
With the obvious benefits that come from being in a group of like minded people, Bodybuilding.com has decided to highlight some of the best BodyGroups. Once a month we will give a salute to a BodyGroup that displays the benefits of people coming together with similar goals. Our BodyGroup Of The Month features an ever growing group of highly motivated people, Team Poynter.
Vital Stats
Group Profile: Team Poynter
Group Founder: stevep78
Date Founded: December 19, 2008
Number Of Members: 706 (as of July 1, 2010)
Group Description:
Team Poynter: "Where Transformation Is Your only Option." We are a group of individuals whose motivation, drive and dedication are unparalleled to any other human being. We ARE machines in the gym and have people in a state of shock with our work ethic and determination to transform our bodies... we are "Team Poynter."
Group Commitment:
Every member of this group is committed to: a work ethic in the gym unlike any other. You may sweat, you may cry, you may bleed, but in the end you had what it took to achieve the body you wanted. If you cannot say that you have this sort of drive in you, then you do not deserve to be a part of Team Poynter. We say, "Rep it 'till it burns" and then some!!
[ Q ] What is your BodyGroup about and who are the members?
My BodyGroup is about training and how each individual can keep all the other team members motivated by stating how their training is going and how progress is coming along. All the members in our group are people who only know one way of training, and that way is hardcore; they go hard or don't go.
We have over 700 members to date, some of the most popular on BodySpace are the following: Beautifulgrace, Irondiva83, flyboyjustice, girlontherun, biceman, ladyfirefighter.
Click To Enlarge.
All The Members Only Know One Way Of Training,
And That Is Hardcore; They Go Hard Or Don't Go.
[ Q ] Why did the founder start up the group?
We started the group to become motivators and try and push everyone we can into a new level of training and physical fitness.
[ Q ] What have your results been with starting the group?
The group continues to grow daily; each and every member tries and pushes every other member to the max with their training and progress. I see everyone else making strides to reaching their goals on a daily basis, it makes me want to do the same thing, and seeing what is being posted makes me want to train harder and harder every time I walk in the gym.
[ Q ] How do your members use the BodyGroup feature?
To track and follow the progression of other members.
[ Q ] Who are some of your notable members?
|FEATURED BODYGROUP MEMBER: Biceman
|FEATURED BODYGROUP MEMBER: Girlontherun
|FEATURED BODYGROUP MEMBER: Beautifulgrace
|FEATURED BODYGROUP MEMBER: Ngatiporou23
|FEATURED BODYGROUP MEMBER: Irondiva83
[ Q ] How would you explain the attitude needed in your group, to a new member?
The Team Poynter work ethic is really a must. You have to want to go hardcore or go home. There is no in between. We don't even know the meaning of failure. That's what it takes to achieve greatness, and Team Poynter wants to get there.
[ Q ] In what way has motivating other BodySpace users given you the ability to push yourself to new levels?
BodySpace is the king of all fitness sites; everyone you see on here has a special drive in them. They can bring out the best in anyone. If you track progress and watch how someone can change in a short time, what else could you want in the form of motivation; it's all right here on this site.
[ Q ] What would you tell someone who is contemplating making a commitment to joining your group, to motivate him or her to make the commitment?
What would be the reasoning you would not join a group that is full of true life transformations? Each individual in the group is 110% dedicated to training and proper nutrition, join us if you are 110% dedicated to the task before you.
[ Q ] How do you think the group mentality applies to your personal life and how has it helped?
As I do online training and meal planning, this group has helped me so much in my personal life, not only bringing in more clients but allowing me to do what I set out to do, and that would be: change peoples lives with fitness!
[ Q ] Why join your group as opposed to other transformation groups?
I personally say join mine and all others that can bring you the motivation you need to transform your body. I am not saying my group is better than anyone's, we all have different ways to help one change one's body with fitness, so why you have the chance to see all these ways, go for it, join all the groups you can.
Click To Enlarge.
I Personally Say Join Mine And All Others That Can
Bring You The Motivation You Need To Transform Your Body.
[ Q ] How do you feel is the best way to motivate others within the confines of the group page?
Reading the testimonials, tracking the progress and looking at the pictures that other members post on their personal pages.
Thanks Team Poynter for all you do!
The Power Of Groups
The cultural anthropologist Margaret Mead once said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it's the only thing that ever does." So what's the secret? Why are groups so powerful? The answer lies in their social dynamic!
- Group members often have the same goals.
- They motivate one another.
- They learn from each other.
- They become a family that provides support when times are tough and entertainment when things are good!
Click To Enlarge.
Group Members Often Have The Same Goals; They
Motivate One Another; They Learn From Each Other.
Build Success:
Having the right social network can define success in any endeavor that you pursue. After all, a man is judged by the company he keeps. Someone who shares your goals can help you overcome any adversity.
Finding that person, however, can be just as difficult. A BodyGroup can connect you with people who can mentor you, challenge you, and exchange ideas that you might not have come across otherwise.
Help Others:
You, in turn, can help others on the same path. By acting as both student and teacher, keeping an open mind to new ideas and different methods, you may be the catalyst to the success of your group. Helping someone else with their goals can be very rewarding, and oftentimes, we benefit just as much by helping out.
BodyGroups are a great way to ask questions, learn, and make progress in a fun and positive environment! No matter what goals you have in mind, don't do it all alone-join a BodyGroup and find all the support you need, any time, all the time.
Joining a group is quick and easy! Find a group that matches up with what you want to do, check them out, and join! Then it's just up to you to contribute and communicate.
Start Your Own Group:
What if the group I am looking for doesn't exist? Maybe you can't find the group you were looking for. That's ok, because you can start your own group, and then invite others to join you! You can even start and be a member of multiple BodyGroups. If having one circle of friends is good, then more is better!
Do You Know Another Great BodyGroup?

What Do You Do with a B.A. in English? lyrics
What Do You Do with a B.A. in English? Song Lyrics
What do you do with a B.A. in English,
What is my life going to be?
Four years of college and plenty of knowledge,
Have earned me this useless degree.
I can't pay the bills yet,
'Cause I have no skills yet,
The world is a big scary place.
But somehow I can't shake,
The feeling I might make,
A difference,
To the human race.
Morning, Brian.
Hi, Kate Monster.
How's life?
What's the matter?
The catering company laid me off.

Town's seven match unbeaten start to the season came to an end at Portman Road against an impressive QPR.Jamie Mackie struck twice for the Championship leaders inside the first 40 minutes and Heidar Helguson added a third midway through the second-half from the penalty spot.Carlos Edwards had Town's best chance but pulled his shot wide early in the second-half in a game that the visitors deserved to win once Mackie put them ahead on the half hour. Town made two changes to the side that took a point at Portsmouth at the weekend. Andros Townsend returned from suspension, Tamas Priskin dropping to the bench with Mark Kennedy coming in for the injured Darren O'Dea. Helguson tested Marton Fulop inside the first minute but his shot lacked venom. Paddy Kenny took care of a Grant Leadbitter free-kick at the second attempt, while Kaspars Gorkss headed over the bar from a corner as both sides sounded each other out in the opening exchanges.Fulop saved at the nearpost from Helguson, the Town No.1 then showing good awareness to cut out Adel Taarabt's dangerous cross. Rangers got the breakthrough on the half hour, Mackie's shot was initially blocked by Tommy Smith but the ball fell kindly for the former Plymouth striker and he buried it past Fulop into the bottom corner. It needed a header from Gareth McAuley to clear the danger from Helguson as Rangers threatened a second a minute later.Akos Buzsaky replaced the injured Alejandro Faurlin for the last 10 minutes of the half, with Rangers beginning to dominate the play and Mackie grabbed his second four minutes before the interval, making a 40 yard run into Blues' half before driving a low shot past Fulop. Jason Scotland, who had seen a shot from McAuley deflect wide off the striker's midriff, finished the half with a yellow card for a foul on Kaspars Gorkss.Roy Keane made two changes at the break, Priskin and Connor Wickham on for Townsend and Luke Hyam, as Blues chased the game with a three man attack.Wickham made an immediate impact, shrugging off Clint Hill then setting up Carlos Edwards but the midfielder dragged his shot well wide.Jaime Peters whipped in a cross that Wickham couldn't divert towards goal under pressure, Scotland then sending a tame effort at Kenny.Fulop kept Blues in the game with two excellent saves on the hour, the first to deny Mackie a hat-trick, then Taarabt's header was beaten out by the Hungarian international. The QPR skipper reluctantly making way for Mikele Leigertwood seconds later in their first change.Smith became the second Blue to be booked for a foul on Buzsaky as Rangers broke, the Town defender then penalised for a foul on Mackie inside the box. Hogan Ephraim fired a superb shot into the top corner but referee Keith Stroud had blown a split second earlier and pointed to the spot, Helguson did the rest. Troy Brown replaced Edwards for the last 20 minutes, Peters pushed into midfield and Town continued to press for a way back into the game, Wickham showing strength and touch to carve out an opening for himself but his shot was beaten out by the covering Rangers' defence.Mackie made way for Tommy Smith for the last 10 minutes and the loan signing from Portsmouth almost scored with his first touch, sliding the ball wide from 10 yards.Neil Warnock's side saw out the last few minutes with no alarms and the win takes Rangers clear at the top with second placed Cardiff the visitors to Portman Road at the weekend.
Town: Fulop, Peters, McAuley, Smith, Kennedy, Edwards (Brown 70), Leadbitter, Hyam (Priskin 46), Norris, Townsend (Wickham 46), Scotland. Subs not used: Murphy, Eastman, Healy, Hourihane. Booked: Scotland, Smith.

Home › Forums › General Forums › General Lightweight Backpacking Discussion › PLB's, SPOTS vs. Cutting the Cord
Nov 3, 2009 at 4:45 pm #1241372
W I S N E R !BPL Member
All the talk about PLB's and SPOT has has me thinking…
I do a good deal of solo traveling. All of my 5 day+ trips to date have been alone, as well as all of my long distance trail runs. Running 30+ miles from where you start is a daunting task. I've been lost on many occasions.
So, being a husband, father, and general aficionado of life, I've thought quite a bit about getting an emergency device of sorts.
Yet every time I consider a trip with one in my pack I feel like it's almost cheating. I question whether it takes away the element of self-reliance that I crave.
I remember the butterflies in my stomach on my first long solo. Being dropped off at a trailhead and not being sure when I was coming out the other side was a beautiful thing.
Ive been drawn to running longer and longer distances in the mountains because I don't know for sure if I can do it. Starting a run and not knowing if I'll bonk or break down and have to spend the night out is exciting. If I always knew the outcome I suppose I'd be less interested.
I like to cut the cord, as scary as it sometimes is. Much of the beauty of going solo stems from the fact that I'm on my own, responsible for my own decisions, and reliant upon my own skills. Yes, this also means that when the random, unforeseen, and accidental strikes, I'm on my own.
And then there's family. I'm sure my wife would like that I carried something. Simple logic begs the question "Why wouldn't I?"
But I just can't get the thought out of my head that if I'm carrying a device with a button that calls in the cavalry, maybe it's not as much of an adventure. I realize crazy things can be done with or without a PLB…I guess it's just the psychology behind the journey, of knowing vs. not knowing what's out there…
To each their own.Nov 3, 2009 at 7:05 pm #1542387
I feel the same way as you do. Going it alone is a way for me to test myself against the great outdoors and know that if I had to, I could survive with nothing. I also do not like to rely on anything electronic. When I go into the wilderness I do not like the thought of bringing any part of city/suburban life with me. It is oddly comforting to me to be so far away from civilization that when you stop and listen, all you can hear is the wind. No cars, no radios, no people, nothing; and if you get lost, no one is comming to get you anytime soon.
Fast forward my life to now: I am a husband and a father. As much as I love to be truely alone in the wilderness and thrive off of the thrill that I may get lost and have to survive on my own, I have a duty to my family to return safely. Yes, I do believe it is cheating a little to carry a PLB or GPS unit, but my priorities changed when I became a father and no longer have the luxury of doing the thrilling things I once did. It isn't really an option for me to get myself lost in the wilderness for days, weeks, or even months on end. So in conclusion, Although I am completely confident in my ability to survive in the wilderness and I crave the thrill of the possibility of having to do so, it would be irresponsible for me to venture off without such devices.
Just my 2 cents. :-)
Nice post! It makes you think…Nov 3, 2009 at 7:17 pm #1542392

One of the main reasons I plan to get one is to reduce the time a SAR team would have to use up in looking for me. If you are on a five day trip and don't come out at the end the SAR team would have to potentially cover a lot of ground to find you.Nov 3, 2009 at 8:23 pm #1542416

W I S N E R !BPL Member
Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all against getting one.
In fact, I likely will withing the next year or two.
I guess I'm just pondering how our relationship to the outdoors is rapidly changing. I'm sure we're not far off from the day that nearly every hiker will be carrying a satellite phone as "standard" gear: out adventuring while still saying goodnight to the kids many hundreds of miles away. Not a inherently a "bad" thing, just different; a technology that potentially changes the way we think of wild places and our undertakings within them. A technology that potentially changes- possibly even erases- the last symbols of being somewhere "remote".
A good point made above and something to think about: In the event of a rescue, carrying something with a GPS signal might not only save your life, but the lives of those searching for you.Nov 4, 2009 at 11:22 am #1542638

@johnnybgood4Locale: New Hampshire
I don't have anything against anybody that chooses to use these devices, or even a cell phone for that matter. But I really hope public opinion doesn't evolve over time into thinking someone who chooses not to use a device like this is somehow irresponsible.Nov 4, 2009 at 11:40 am #1542650
I don't think it would evolve into public opinion that not using a PLB or GPS would be irrisponsible. It's a choice which has to be made by the individual and what he/she feels comfortable with. I personally would feel irrisponsible if I just embarked on a journey into the middle of nowhere without the safety net a PLB or GPS allows. But that is me; I have a wife and son who depend on me to make it home so I can continue to support them. To me, that has to weigh heavier than my desire to have an adventure. However, I would never look down my nose at or judge someone who had a different opinion or deem them "irrisponsible".Nov 4, 2009 at 11:57 am #1542653

@johnnybgood4Locale: New Hampshire
I totally respect your choice.
I also have a wife and a young child but I choose not to carry a beacon or a cell phone – although I sometimes carry a very basic GPS if I'm travelling off trail out West.Nov 4, 2009 at 12:00 pm #1542656

As a reminder, this is why they makes sense:
As noted, if S&R is deployed it's our job to 1. ensure it's a rescue and not a recovery and 2. make their task as easy as possible.
Because SPOT provides useful options beyond just "come get me" it's quite attractive for those of us with families but, the onus is upon them to convince me/us that the emergency component is as robust as a PLB. Once they've done that I'll commence deciding whether a hundred/hundred fifty bucks per year is worth it.
I've happily never been in a PLB situation, just as I've never had a bear go after my canister (or Ursack or food bag). Doesn't mean I never will.
RickNov 4, 2009 at 12:04 pm #1542660
After thinking about it, I guess it's no different than getting onto a car and driving down the road. There's only so much you can do to ensure you don't get into an accident.Nov 4, 2009 at 12:39 pm #1542670
maybe we also need more roads in the wilderness so the rescuers can get to us faster.Nov 4, 2009 at 1:09 pm #1542681
Ok… Are you making a point or just being cheeky? ;-)Nov 4, 2009 at 1:37 pm #1542697
My preference is for no search and rescue teams. I'm sure this attitude is now the minority view.Nov 4, 2009 at 1:53 pm #1542702
"Do we want to change the wilderness to match our frailties, or do we want to meet the wilderness on its own terms."
-I don't think anyone has suggested or would agree to "change" the wilderness to meet our needs. We are talking about the personal choice of whether or not to carry PLBs or GPSs; we aren't debating whether or not to cut down trees and pave roads and change the wilderness.
"If you're not prepared to pay, you're not prepared to play."
-My point exactly, which is why I don't "play" like I used to. I do not have the luxury anymore of "playing", but does that mean I have to give up my love of the outdoors? Forgive me if I misunderstood your point, but I think it's a little bit on the unreasonable side to suggest that if you aren't willing to venture into the outdoors without a PLB or GPS that you shouldn't go at all. Did I understand you correctly?Nov 4, 2009 at 2:32 pm #1542718

I'd hazard a guess that the minority view loses one vote every time one of them gets their A$$ in a pickle, one way or the other. ;}Nov 4, 2009 at 5:05 pm #1542766
as long as you don't hinder someone elses experience I guess its your choice.Nov 4, 2009 at 5:35 pm #1542777
Art, I would like to say that I respect your opinion, but it sounds a bit too much like a critisizm or a judgement to me. Although I can appreciate the gist of the point you are trying to make, I do not think you have grasped the concept behind this discussion OR the point I made. I do not see how me bringing a PLB or GPS into the wilderness as a safety measure for me would have any bearing on YOUR enjoyment of the wilderness or anyone else's. I see your opinion as being radically fanatical and lacking any reason or understanding. It seems to me like you either A) Want to dictate to others how they should enjoy the wilderness or :-)Nov 5, 2009 at 8:24 am #1542996
I guess Justin just answered John's earlier question about shifting public opinion…
I'd argue that Art quite gets the point of the OP. His comments directly address the questions/comments of the OP.
Among other things I have been a SAR team member. There are distinct advantages to PLBs/EPIRBs/ELTs. But when you carry one it does affect your trip with a bit of an undertone.
To me they only make sense in the S&^t hits the fan perspective. Last resort measure only, if you do choose to carry one. But I don't think it's at all radical to not carry one. I prefer to take responsibility for my actions and live with the consequences. But sometimes a PLB makes a whole lot of sense. Best example I can think of is a pre-existing medical condition.Nov 5, 2009 at 9:35 am #1543022
Well, I'm at a loss for words… I don't see how I have proven the supposed shift in public opinion though. I'm confused about that comment. I think we are talking about 2 separate issues here; the personal choise to carry a PLB and the overuse/abuse of PLB's. I will agree that having a PLB could lure some people into activating it prematurely or unnecessarily. As for me, my background speeks for itself. I don't feel the need to divulge my experience with SAR or wilderness survival and outdoor medicine to prove I'm worthy enough to be in the wilderness. So I go back to my original point which was just to express my personal reasons for why I might carry such devices. I personally don't care what someone decides to carry with them into the wilderness so long as it's not a boom box or something that makes loud noises. Whatever gets people off the couch. That's what it's all about in the end.Nov 5, 2009 at 9:51 am #1543025

I don't think anyone is really attempting to tell anyone else how they have to hike. I think the point Art was trying to make is that the more of "civilization" we take into the wilderness the less wild it is. How much is too much? We already take a bunch of civilization with us, tents, sleeping bags, clothes, food, stove, etc. However, none of those things provide a direct link back to anyone else. Once you take your cell phone, PLB, or any other direct link to "civilization" you are no longer completely separated from it. Some people like being completely separated, it's one of the big reasons they go. Others, not so much so.
Those that choose to carry the direct links back to civilization (I am one of those) loose that separation. They gain some security, but lose some independence. It's everyone's own personal choice, at least at the moment. And that is how it should be. :-)Nov 5, 2009 at 10:21 am #1543040
Justin, my point was that after Art said he didn't think PLBs were necessary, and indeed might interfere with the wilderness experience, you said "I see your opinion as being radically fanatical and lacking any reason or understanding." If you even kind of see his opinion as "radically fanatical," then I think that illustrates a shift in public perception about the wisdom or necessity of carrying such electronic devices. That's all.Nov 5, 2009 at 10:59 am #1543064
I think you need to go back and read my posts and art's responces. You are zeroing in on one sentance and taking it out of context. When I asked Art if he thought that i didn't belong in the wilderness if I chose to take a PLB with me, he said that I understood him correctly. That is a radically fanatic opinion. Regardless, it was not my intention to get into such a heated debate with anyone. If I have misunderstood anyone else's intentions then I appologize. Live and let live.Nov 5, 2009 at 11:05 am #1543070
Man. This is the last time I post anything in a forum here more philosophical than to ask someone's opinion about the pros and cons of cuben fiber and silnylon.. geez. Tough crowd. ;-)Nov 5, 2009 at 11:07 am #1543073
Nah, keep on posting, Justin. The community forums are a great place for discussion, debate, and airing ideas!Nov 5, 2009 at 11:09 am #1543074
Justin you're being hyper sensitive and misinterpretting what I said. As long as someone doesn't hinder anothers wilderness experience they should be free to do what they choose.
I personally don't feel we have the right to put others lives in danger simply because we screwed up our wilderness vacation, but like I said before, this is apparently the minority view.
Re. Tough Crowd
this is friendly discourse, no harm intended. I apologize if it wasn't seen this way.

In August we visited the Reifel Bird Sanctuary in Delta, BC. The sanctuary is a beautiful, peaceful spot nearly 300 hectares in size, with walking trails passing through wetlands and marshes. There's an observation tower you can climb for incredible views, and you can purchase birdseed from the office to feed the feathered inhabitants. If you're patient and lucky, a bird might eat from your hand!
Paths are level and wheelchair accessible. For more information about the bird sanctuary, visit their website.

Buzzing Around at Google Buzz
Well I've been trying out Google Buzz and liking what I saw :)
Sure it's not a replacement for Blogger (yet!) but it is very easy/fast to use and really that's what I always wanted, a place to make short small posts about my WoW experiences. I don't really have the time (or inclination) for long/in-depth articles.
For my style of blogging, once Google add tagging and proper editing controls to the Buzz text input box (not that the Blogger one is very good, but that's another issue...) it will become a full replacement for this site. Till then, I'll probably be posting very little here as I keep updating Buzz with my daily/weekly WoW highlights.

Blood Queen Lana'thel 10-man Down
Last night I went for a scheduled 10-man raid. Actually we were supposed to have 2 teams running but we were short on both an off-spec tank and a healer, so in the end the officers decided to put one strong 10-man team up and have the other deferred to another evening when hopefully there would be all the mains needed.
Obviously not something all the people who got left out were happy about, but thanks to having 2 main-tanks and 3 main-healers my group managed to get all the way to Sindragosa, including clearing Blood Queen as I said (that we cleared Putricide is a given of course :)).
The evening started off as usual, first wing was never hard for us in 10-man and after the recent nerfs it is practically a joke. Second wing however was another story...
On entering the second wing we encountered the quest giver for the new weekly ICC raid quests who tasked us with getting infected from both Rotface and Festergut. As this requires not wiping on the second boss after downing the first, we decided to down Rotface first under the assumption that we were more likely to wipe on Rotface. As it turns out, we were right. We wiped on Rotface. Twice!
I have no idea why that happened to be honest. Sometimes even gear won't make up for lack of attention/focus. Also our third healer was trying to remove the debuff all alone with the result that he nearly didn't heal at all. 2-man healing this fight is no joke especially as both other healers were priests (a druid+priest combo would probably have had more luck). Regardless, we switched to having the paladin tank decurse with me helping and this time we managed fine, although a couple of people did die so didn't get the debuff.
Festergut was thankfully 1-shotted and as we had read previously, it was enough for one person in the raid to return the quest for all to get it completed. One lucky sob even got a 264 BoE ring in his bag, not me alas :)
In spite of this weak start (2 wipes on Rotface...) we managed to 1-shot Putrcide 10 and 2-shot Blood Council. Coming up to Blood Queen we were not so sure we would manage as the fight is intensive for both DPS and healers and privately I had some reservations about our healing setup, yes we were 3 main healers but none of us was usually in the top 2 of healing meters and I was sure the lack of HoTs from a druid would be felt. Indeed, we wiped 2 times and both were due to people dying, usually in the spiky damage period right after the fear from the air-phase. However on the 3rd try people were more careful after the air phase, healers were more ready or perhaps we simply got lucky, since in spite of losing one DPS mid-fight, we managed to get the Blood Queen down.
My tip as a holy priest is to use Fear Ward on yourself just before the boss takes to the air in order to continue to heal people up in preparation for the shadow bolts nukes. On the second air phase I used my Human racial to break free of the fear, so again I could top people up. Otherwise at least in 10man it is a fairly easy fight to heal, mostly using AoE heals together with PoM and liberal use of Renew. The fight is very mana intensive, prepare to use all 3 of pot, pet and Hymn.
Anyway after the Blood Queen we went for Valithria Dreamwalker, for me this was a first time in the fight but the other healers had already beaten this encounter in 25man so after a wipe due to me getting healer agro and dying we managed to beat the adds and heal her up to full. Interesting fight as we had 2 healers go into the portals all the time, one a paladin and the other an off-spec elemental shaman using a healing spec but DPS gear. In spite of the DPS gear he managed an incredibly impressive 13k HPS since he had almost full stacks from the portals all the time.
I liked the round room fight just before Sindragosa, with the waves of spiders coming down from the walls around you. There was some joking on Vent about being afraid of spiders :) But it was mostly a time for the DPS to enjoy some pretty wild AoE.
I guess due to the late hour and feeling hyped about getting to Syndragosa with 18 attempts left, we entered her room and cleared the trash, followed by killing the 2 big dragons flying around. Turns out, killing them started the fight so we lost an attempt. Then a DI'd paladin rezzed me and I stayed on the floor too long and pulled her again, costing another attempt... :(
So we called it a night but overall it was a very successful night and I think really good practice for all involved as none of us (I think) had been at Blood Queen with the previous 10man group which downed her last week. I think we are now better ready for the 25man version :)

Putricide-10 Down
Last night ICC was accessible, which means of course we didn't have enough people in the guild for a 25man raid. Murphy's Law and all that...
So instead we got together a 10man raid. As I've written before we only have main tanks in the guild which means for this 2nd group, one tank was an off-spec (warrior). In addition we were missing a healer so a DPS paladin went on his off-spec.
In-spite of this and and late start we managed to quickly take down both Festergut and Rotface (Rotface was 1-shotted to my delight).
At this point someone suggested going to Blood Council instead but the raid leader and most others thought it would be better to try Putricide since that way we would not have to re-clear trash unless we took too long.
As it turns out, it only took one try :)
Actually that amazed me, we should have failed. The off-tank was assigned to the Abomination yet had never used him before, so we gave him 5min to watch a video about it. Yes despite being fresh to the job he managed to (mostly) slow down the adds correctly and drink up the pools.
At phase 1->2 transition we had an add up since the DPS continued too long on the boss (didn't stop at 82%). We survived.
Someone died mid-fight. Our druid rezzed him.
The fight was crazy but controlled, everyone did their part and of course having DPS that is already amazing for 25man raids meant that in a 10man raid small mistakes didn't matter thanks to the insane DPS.
Still it was the first Putricide-10 kill for all of us in the raid and there was much cheering on Vent when he died :)
Feeling good we continued to Blood Council, where the same off-tank had a lot of difficulties in a previous raid either staying alive (not enough dark blobs on him) or keeping agro on the boss (too much attention to dark blobs, not enough to boss). This time, for some reason, he was perfect. We wiped once due to all 3 healers being too far from the MT tanking the other 2 bosses but one the 2nd try we got the council down as well.
I believe we would have taken down the Blood Queen as well but a raid member had to leave early so we called it. Maybe today :)

Garage Door Service Company999 18th Street Suite 3000 Denver, Colorado United States of America
Does your business have a bad reputation?
Fix it the right way.
Corporate Advocacy Program™
This past weekend my garage door broke, 08/16/09. I tried to get a response from several companies late Sunday - no answer. Monday morning I looked up online -overhead door repair companies in the Denver area. Like a similar report (#212798) from this service, the first company to pop up was Garage Door Service Company.
I spoke with Anthony and he set up an appointment for Monday evening. They never showed, I called late that evening and rescheduled for Tuesday AM. I was just happy to get someone there to do the work.
They showed up the next morning and explained what had to be fixed (torsion spring). The cost involved seemed high, but I needed a working garage door. Later, my wife indicated my laziness for not getting several quotes. MY FAULT.
$519 and a feeling of getting ripped off, I called other overhead door repair companies. They gave me quotes of $199 to $249. What a fool I am.
I called Chris the GM at GDS, he assured me that the products and services costs where correct - after all many of the other companies in the Denver area are going to fold because of the poor economy and who else would provide a life time warranty on these deluxe springs. What a song and dance. BUT I am stuck - should have done more phone calling on my end.

The Examination Chamber
The shape defied all three-dimensional reasoning. I could have sworn that a few of those colors were completely off the normal spectrum. And what was that sound? There was a high frequency noise that seemed to resonate from behind me, yet I was certain that it came from the shape. I wasn't moving any closer. My body was going to stay in the normal three dimensions, thank you very much.
"Can we learn anything from this thing?" asked Dr. Hal.
"Well it's a little hard to even comprehend how it exists," put in Serina.
"Yes. There is that. I hope it won't have any nasty side effects on our own reality."
"We were given a guarantee on that one, Hal," I said. "The species that sold us the examination chamber is four thousands years ahead of us in technology. I think they would know what they were talking about."
"Yes. Well, just the same," Dr. Hal said. "I'd prefer putting this thing back where we found it. Why don't we bring up a sample of one of those nifty critters from the dimension that Kell found the other day?"
I looked thoughtful. "Not just yet," I said. "Why don't we try exposing this sample to some of our own atoms."
"I'm not sacrificing any of my atoms," Dr. Hal said, jokingly.
"I was thinking we could start with a few Hydrogen atoms," I said.
"Sure. I'll do the honors," Serina said. She tapped a few buttons on her control outlet and then looked up to capture the response.
The shape flashed blue and grew four times the size while occupying the same volume. I squinted and put a hand to my temple. That was a bit much for the mind to handle.
"Don't...ever...do that again," said Hal.
Serina gave a wrinkled smile. "How about carbon?" she asked.
"No!" replied Hal.
"Well you don't have to watch," I reasoned. "Just hide your eyes. I'll tell you when the scary part is over." I turned to Serina. "Go for it," I said.
She gave a nod and activated the controls. The little needle on the other side of the chamber wall moved a few inches. Then the shape responded.
This time, it did something much different. If we had been more cautious, we would not have tried the atom of life. Carbon. It was said that all atoms keep a memory of what they're used for. And, as the carbon atoms entered the shape, the shape learned from that cached memory. And in doing so, it learned how to come to life. And then it did come to life...and began to shake the walls of the examination chamber.

Hi Shaw, #1. Lucene.Net is fairly in sync with each release version of Java Lucene. The very original port of Java Lucene to Lucene.Net (versions 1.3 and 1.4) was done more then 3 years ago by another developer at SourceForge.net. When 1.4 went commercial, I picked up 1.4 named it dotLucene (again on SourceForge.net) and I have been supporting and porting it since then. dotLucene and Lucene.Net are the same thing. Now that Lucene.Net is under incubation at ASF, you can count on it not going commercial unless if ASF went commercial! :-) #2. Use the latest release version for production which is Lucene.Net 1.9.1 build 3 or use the "beta" version (off the SVN trunk) which is Lucene.Net 2.0. There is little differences between 1.9.1 and 2.0. The main differences is that in 2.0, all depreciated methods have been removed. #3. Any version of Lucene.Net are usable with .NET 1.1 or 2.0. The source code is provided, just compile it under which ever .NET version you want to use it on. I have found that, with .NET 1.1, you will get a slow memory leak which doesn't show up under .NET 2.0. My goal is, to release Lucene.Net 2.0 under .NET 1.1 and then release Lucene.Net 2.0.1 under .NET 2.0. Why? To add compression support to Lucene.Net off .NET 2.0's API. Another comment I can tell you about Lucene.Net is that the index created with Lucene.Net is cross-compatible with Java Lucene, and via verse such that you can have a Java instance and a .NET instance of Lucene both searching, and updating the same index concurrently -- if you share the lock file. I hope this helps. If you have any questions, let me know.

College governors collectively manage a £3bn budget and educate more than three million young people and adults each year. They do it well; they are the hidden force underpinning further education's successes.
Governing bodies need to inspire their colleges to provide a service that does their students justice, motivating them to reach their full potential, and give staff, employers and the communities they serve the confidence to invest in college services.
The challenge of creating the right environment for excellence in college governance at a time of rapidly evolving policies is not for the faint-hearted. This government has reduced the regulatory framework and while these freedoms are welcome, they inevitably bring uncertainty and insecurity, particularly when transitioning from one set of policies to another. The political vision may be of a simpler, more manageable world, but the governor's role remains complex. They are accountable to students, employers and the local community, responsible for large sums of public money and must be effective stewards of considerable assets. To further complicate matters, they work with multiple funding agencies, two or three government departments and their student body includes all ages from 14 upwards.
With freedom comes increased accountability and good governance is at the heart of that model, but it can only operate within the existing framework and regulations. While the system of college governance in England is not broken – in fact there is much exemplary practice – it is time for a rethink. The existing structures and behaviours were designed pre-1990 and it is time to envisage what good governance should look like in the 21st century and to determine the support needed to bring about change.
The aim of the Association of Colleges (AoC) governor council's review, Creating Excellence in College Governance, was to identify issues and barriers to good governance and to set out the actions needed to ensure governors, senior college leaders and clerks are adequately supported.
The review found that governing bodies are battling to interpret what's required of them in a time of change. There's evidence of poor communication between government and its agencies, nationally and locally, and governors report difficulties in recruitment and retention, especially those from a business background. There is also a lack of co-ordinated support structures and a dearth of relevant research on what good leadership and effective board management look like.
It is clear that governors and college leaders cannot remedy this alone. The review calls for clear, sustained policies from government and its funding agencies and seeks clarity about the operational framework colleges should adopt. It also asks Ofsted to help governors benchmark and monitor college performance. Furthermore, it calls on the AoC, its governor council and the Education and Training Foundation to assist in creating a programme for development and setting up an resource library.
The review identifies three interlocking strands fundamental to development. These are representation and information, support services and a programme for moving forward.
Immediate action is needed to build the right level of expertise in the sector. Our work highlights that governors need to receive appropriate induction, support, training and mentoring. The best people to provide this are experienced governors. This will be achieved by recruiting, training and developing National Leaders of Governance from existing governors. They need to be funded to offer peer group mentoring and governance health checks to support professional development.
We also believe that good practice needs to be shared and the AoC's governance council will create a new excellence library to help disseminate advice and information, as well as establishing a delivery unit to support the recruitment and retention of governors nationally, including those from business. This new approach will lead to strong, empowered governors and clerks who will have a beneficial impact on the whole sector.
It is a challenging agenda, but all the government agencies have committed to working with the governors' council, the Education and Training Foundation and college leaders to bring about the necessary changes. Colleges are exciting, dynamic places and the governors of the future need to match that.

thanks for taking the time to answer the question, to be honest with you i am not 100% sure if i get the trick mentioned in the article .... i have created a function that gives 1 to success 2 for warning and 3 for error. but the issue is how to give the condition to an output of function transformation.
thanks again.
3. Re: Transformation : function output handlerDavid Allan-Oracle Dec 5, 2012 9:31 PM (in response to 858164)The outgoing transition from the transformation activity can have a condition - look at the properties panel when you click on the line from the transformation activity, there is a property 'Condition' here you can use the enumeration condition SUCCESS/WARNING/ERROR, or you can also use a complex condition (but it sounds like you are return 1/2/3 so can just use the enumerated condition).

The Road is a metaphor for Life
Viggo Mortensen (who also starred in The Lord of the Rings movies) gives a fine performance in this movie. This story is set in a world after some obvious disaster has happened. We are never told what happened to destroy society, but it must have been recent. There are flashback scenes to when things were more normal, when the boy was younger and his mother was alive. The father and son are on a journey to the sea. They fight for their survival. Society appears to be totally broken down and lawless: kill or be killed. There is violence, including sexual violence, mainly off-camera. (You might expect that in such a story and setting.) This story is a quest, not only for survival, but also for discovery. Perhaps the outward world is symbolic of life, the struggle to maintain one's structure of family and values. Indeed, the father is forced to make hard choices between self-preservation (especially of his son) and modeling his deeply held principles to his son, including self-sacrifice. The journey is a metaphor for life, and the Road is the path of the relationship between the father and the son. Some call it "epic," and if you interpret it this way, then it really is epic, as some classic literature is. Mortensen's performance makes it worth watching (with the forewarning of the violence and adult themes).

after mathMature
Sitting in maths, waiting for the teacher to finish his rounds and sit back down. Lucius looked out the window, longing to see something aside from the everyday landscape of the school oval and highway beyond.
Remembering stories from the news of strange occurences around the world of buildings falling into the earth and others of factories mysteriously cathching on fire and blowing up all nearby buildings with no apparent reason.
As the teacher walked past one final time Lucius made out that he was working away at the problems on the page.
Just as he realised he was working out more realistic problems, the building began to shake violently. The teacher shouted out "EARTHQUAKE!!!"
Just as everyone got ready to run out of the building the trembling stopped. Everyone looking shocked and shaken began to sigh in relief. The teacher and every other teacher in the building began to evacuate the place as quickly as possible while still keepin order.
Lucius stood up and began to walk out the door elated that something more than just more maths had happened. As he stepped through the floor on either side of the two story building collapsed underneath his feet. Landing on a blanket of bodies Lucius had only the doorway he was underneath to thank for his life.
lucius had to scramble to get out of the rubble and over dead bodies of his classmates.
As he crested the top of the rubble he looked out and saw it wasnt just his building that had caved in.
The whole school had sunk into a massive hole.

Ex-Hogan Lovells partner and convicted fraudster Christopher Grierson was struck off the solicitors' roll yesterday at a Solicitors' Disciplinary Tribunal hearing, to absolutely no one's surprise.
The SDT refused to confirm on what grounds they dismissed him, but given that Grierson was jailed for three years in May on four offences under the Theft Act 1968 after defrauding his firm of £1.27m one would imagine there were numerous breaches of the code of conduct to choose from.
Grierson did not attend the hearing because he's in prison and the SDT does not have holding facilities for prisoners. Still, that didn't stop it from ordering him to pay £14,000 in costs.
Earlier this year, the SDT struck off former Ince & Co partner Andrew Iyer after he admitted stealing £3m from his firm and clients. At the time, the panel said it was "as bad a case of fraud that the tribunal has ever had to deal with".
Grierson's case will have given them pause for thought on that one.

Olympus a few days ago have announced the new Stylus 720SW. Similar to the other thin cameras (Sony T-Nikon S1/2/3-Minolta X1) 3x zoom ,7 MP BUT waterproof to 9″ and shock proof to military standards (?), can be dropped from aroun 4″ !!!!! AND less than 5OZ inc card and batteries. As soon as I get one I will post a mini review.
@halfturboLocale: Northernish California
Franco beat me to the punch, and will beat me to the retailers as well :-)
Here's the maker's info–this camera's clearly a step up from the justly popular Optio WPi:
It's very, very compact, metal-skinned and 5.3 oz w/o battery and card. I don't especially like the zoom range beginning at a not-at-all wide 38mm eq., and the fact that Olympus continues to require their cards to do panorama stitching. Worse, there's no optical viewfinder and no TIFF or RAW modes.
But for the adventurous, the clumsy and the unfortunate, the shock proofing and water/dustproofing, combined w/ 7 meg imaging are quite attractive.
