Justin Bieber mocked the English accent while launching his new album.
The Boyfriend hitmaker launched his latest record 'Believe' at London's Supperclub on Monday night, and when The Voice co-presenter Reggie Yates asked him some pre-vetted questions he responded by making a quip at the local dialect.
In response to one query, the 18-year-old singer joked: "It's 'think' with a 'th', not an 'f'."
During the event, Justin slammed the creative process for one of his new tracks, As Be Alright, which his manager Scott 'Scooter' Braun informed him was produced in Indonesia.
As the song was played, Justin said: "I was in some random country. I recorded it in a studio. Some little place. They didn't know what they were doing."
The Never Say Never hitmaker also distanced himself from comparisons to Justin Timberlake, insisting he sounds "nothing like" the former N Sync singer.
Justin revealed one of the tracks on Believe will be about Mariah Yeater, the woman who accused his of father her baby, Tristyn, but she later dropped a paternity case against him and confessed her ex-boyfriend was the real dad.
He said: "There's a song about that girl that said she was gonna have my baby, Mariah Yeater. There are songs about things I'm going through. I wrote songs about different situations."

I just wanted to find out if others out there have the 2008 WRX Premium with a stage 2 that like it and if it will be a good daily driver. I think it is a little on the loud side but other wise a nice ride. I also wanted to see if people thought it was a good deal. I currently drive a 200 Civic VP with 113k miles on it and it is alright, my wife's car, but not really me. I have wanted a WRX for a while.

Tiger Woods Is 'Relieved' Girlfriend Lindsey Vonn Won't Compete At Sochi Olympics
Tiger Woods is happy his girlfriend Lindsey Vonn won't be competing at the Sochi Olympics – because he knows her knee is too unstable for the stress.
"No, I'm relieved she's not competing because of the situation in her knee," Woods said, writes Gulf News.
"It was very unstable. She alluded to me that it was unstable just walking, so doing 80mph and doing a hard turn, I don't think that's really the wisest thing to do."
Woods also talked to the New York Times about Vonn's injury.
"As far as seeing what she's gone through, I've been through it, only a slightly different version," Woods said. "I've never had to do it twice like this, and to do a total reconstruction of the A.C.L. That's tough."
He added that Vonn's decision to skip the Olympics won't take away from her career.
"To be the first one to ever win in the downhill, that's something no one can ever take away, whether she competes this year or whether she competes four years from now," Woods said.
Vonn will now be covering the Olympics as a correspondent for NBC Sports and the Today Show – but she'll be doing all her reporting from the US.
"I feel OK. I guess I've been through this now once before so I kind of know the drill, unfortunately," Vonn told Matt Lauer on "The Today Show," while resting with her leg up in a brace.
"It's been almost two weeks, and it feels all right. It's a little bit less complicated than the first surgery. [They] didn't have to work on the MCL, but unfortunately had to reconstruct the ACL again and [the knee] also had significant meniscus damage. It was pretty major surgery despite being better than last time, but I'm recovering well. I'm just doing therapy, and am excited to be working with you guys.
"It's going to be so hard. It's already hard enough. You guys run commercials about Sochi about every two minutes, and it's killing me! I'm trying not to watch as much as much as I can. It's going to be really, really hard to watch the Alpine events. I always love watching the other athletes compete like in figure skating, luge and all that stuff, but it's going to be really hard to watch the Alpine events."

Review - Nintendo Land
Peter Nelis
18 November, 2012
More than just a mini-game bundle!
Nintendo EAD
Release Date:
Age Rating:
This year's Nintendo E3 presentation was seen as something of a disappointment by many gamers. Eager to see what the company had planned for the Wii U, a surprising amount of time was spent showcasing a title known as Nintendo Land. Given the success of Wii Sports on the original Wii six years ago, the assumption was made that the game would be little more than another tech demo showcasing the various applications of the Wii U's GamePad controller. Suspicions were that the title would offer little by way of depth, and instead focus on getting players to grips with the capabilities of the system. Those suspicions were only half right.
Surprisingly, Nintendo Land is actually a great little title, and it certainly does showcase, with some aplomb, the abilities of the GamePad, as suspected, however it also boasts a completely unexpected level of depth across its twelve attractions. While some don't quite hit the spot, the bulk of the games on offer here are genuinely enjoyable, both in single player mode and with friends in multiplayer.
Rather than being a selection of disparate sub-games, everything is tied together by virtue of the titular Nintendo Land amusement park. With the help of your computerized guide Monita you'll be shown the ropes in terms of navigation around the park, adding new scenery and how to play each of the included games. As you play, you'll unlock more and more items with which to decorate your park, but that's really only a tiny portion of what's on offer here, so if it doesn't sound like your bag you needn't worry!
Nintendo Land is being labelled a mini-game collection by pretty much everyone, but given the negative connotations that the term carries, we can't help feeling it's a little unfair. Mini-games don't tend to offer quite as much as is on show in some of the attractions here, while those that do fall comfortably under that blanket term offer plenty of replayability for players who are continually seeking to clock up increasingly impressive high scores.
The attractions are each based around Nintendo franchises from the incredibly popular to the slightly more cult offerings, so we've got the likes of Pikmin Adventure, The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest, Donkey Kong's Crash Course, Mario Chase and Luigi's Ghost Mansion on one hand, and Takamaru's Ninja Castle, Captain Falcon's twister Race, Octopus Dance and balloon Trip Breeze on the other. There are a few franchises conspicuous in their absence, like Kid Icarus and Kirby, but for the most part it's a very well rounded package that long-time Nintendo fans will get a real kick out of.
Giving you the option of playing through Quest mode with up to four players (with Wii Remote players taking control of swordsmen and the GamePad player acting as an archer), or the single player only Time Attack mode, The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest has a lot more to it than you might have expected off the bat. When playing as the archer, the game is essentially an on-the-rails first person shooter, with your viewpoint controlled via the GamePad's gyroscope function and the right analog stick. For something that could well have proven to be a bit of a mess, it's surprisingly well executed and goes a long way to showing what the controller can do without feeling like a watered down demo. Wii Remote players get to go all Skyward Sword on their enemies by slashing their way through the hordes using motion control.
This attraction is best played in teams, as it allows the swordsmen to tackle the close enemies while the archer picks off those in the distance or solves basic puzzles by hitting switches with arrows. Despite being relatively gimmicky, it works a charm, and there are plenty of visual and audio cues that'll keep Zelda fans smiling. For us it's one of the strongest attractions in the game.
Another strong entry, Yoshi's Fruit Cart is also one of the most novel implementations of the touch screen we've seen to date. The TV displays a top down view of the map of each level, containing a starting point, exit point, environmental hazards and fruit. It's the latter that's the most important, as your Yoshi cart needs to collect all the fruit in each level before the exit door opens. The catch is that the GamePad's display only shows the entrance and exit, tasking you with drawing your route to the exit via each piece of fruit, without being able to see its actual location. It's really very clever, and it works a charm.
To make things a little more difficult for those of us with passable spatial awareness, your cart only has a finite amount of fuel, and if you run out before you get to the next piece of fruit, or to the exit, you lose a life. It probably shouldn't be quite as addictive as it is, but everything comes together beautifully to create a hell of a time waster. Those who find the early levels a little too easy will definitely find a challenge from the later levels, when the fruit is no longer stationary, requiring you to factor in your starting time, the direction and pattern of travel for each fruit piece, and even the order in which the fruit must be connected. It might look and sound basic as hell, but it's really going to tax the grey matter!
Sadly, the F-Zero based attraction, Captain Falcon's Twister Race, doesn't quite prove as successful as the others we've mentioned so far. We were chomping at the bit for some breakneck motion controlled racing madness, but instead found a distinctly pedestrian affair that requires you to do little more than twist the GamePad in the direction you'd like your vehicle to steer. Speedup pads offer fleeting moments of excitement, but there aren't enough of them and once you've slowed down again things feel even slower than they did to begin with.
To compound our frustration with this attraction, it's exceptionally awkward to play with the GamePad plugged in if you're right handed, due to the fact that you need to hold it vertically, meaning the AC input to the device gets in the way, making the whole thing needlessly uncomfortable. Definitely an opportunity lost, wethinks.
If you were disappointed that Pikmin 3 didn't make the launch lineup, then Pikmin Adventure should at least go some of the way to getting you your fix. Taking control of Olimar, you and up to four others are tasked with completing a series of 5-10 minute long levels in order to get safely off the Pikmin's planet and escape the clutches of Dark Monita, who has sworn to make your life as difficult as possible. She'll be unleashing hordes of enemies and even of level bosses to ensure you don't make it to your goal, but with a little bit of teamwork she's not so bad!
Like The Legend of Zelda: Battle Quest, Pikmin Adventure is best played with multiple players. Cooperating as both Olimar and the Pikmin is the surest way to successes in your quest and take your enemies down, but even in single player mode there's an abundance of fun to be had here, and there are enough levels to keep you going for longer than you might think.
Billed as being for the expert players, Metroid Blast is one of the more complicated attractions in Nintendo Land, letting players take control of series stalwart Samus, or a gunship pilot. At first it's a little clunky – particularly if you're coming at it after playing some of the more intuitive titles – but the mix of motion control, analog sticks and triggers starts to feel a lot more fluid after a couple of efforts. It doesn't quite hit the heights of the likes of Pikmin Adventure or Yoshi's Fruit Cart, but there's still enough here to keep players going for a while.
One that'll really appeal to fans of classic high-score chasing gameplay is Balloon Trip Breeze, arguably the most basic of all the attractions, but also one of the most addictive for us. You'll send your balloon wearing Mii gliding through the air by creating gusts of wind, the direction and strength of which is determined by how you swipe your finger/stylus across the screen. Collecting balloons will increase your score, while ensuring you miss as few as possible will see your combo meter increase, offering more points for each successfully collected item.
Venture too close to the water below and you'll become fish food, while an assortment of environmental and enemy nasties are out to ensure you don't make it through to the end of day three. Because it's so straight forward, you'll find yourself obsessing over tactics and approaches to ensure you get the highest scores possible, and there's always going to be the desire to go back for just one more game. It's worse than crack, but we still love it!
Other attractions include rhythm game Octopus Dance, the incredibly challenging Donkey Kong's Crash Course, Takamura's Ninja Castle (which you'll remember from the 2011 E3 Wii U tech demo that saw players chucking ninja stars around like nobody's business), the simply brilliant Luigi's Ghost Mansion, Animal Crossing: Sweet Day and obligatory Mario attraction, Mario Chase.
While not every game is available in both single and multi-player flavours, we were impressed with the way the game goes about balancing up the gameplay when less than the full complement of players are present. Adding in AI controlled characters, which actually do behave quite intelligently for the most part, to address potential advantages for one player or another in multiplayer attractions makes a huge difference to the way the game plays.
It's obvious that a huge amount of time and effort has gone into Nintendo Land, from the impressive range of attractions to the presentation and different play modes, and it certainly doesn't deserve to get written off as just another mini-games pack. It masterfully straddles that fine line between accessible and easy, while still offering bucket loads of replayability, as well as challenging moments for more experienced players.
As a method to show off what the Wii U GamePad can do, it's fantastic, but as a game in its own right it's definitely going to surprise a lot of people. For us it's one of the stars of the launch lineup!

The Russian reset to nowhere
Fri, 2014-03-21 05:00 News Staff
By Rich Lowry
The "reset" with Russia had a brief, unhappy life. It began with then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presenting her Russian counterpart with a mistranslated reset button reading "overcharged." It ended with current Secretary of State John Kerry denying knowledge of the late, unlamented policy on "Meet the Press": "Well, I don't know what you mean by the reset."

Price Is Still Right: Mike Price Will Stay for At Least One More Year [VIDEO]
UTEP head football coach Mike Price will stay head football coach for at least one more season, according to Miners' Director of Athletics, Bob Stull.
UTEP head football coach Mike Price will stay head football coach for at least one more season, according to Miners' Director of Athletics, Bob Stull.
"...What will stand out among the records of those next coaches who'll spend three or four autumns in El Paso, then either move on or get moved on, will be the mark of one who has stubbornly stood amidst the Sun Bowl's fickle winds and, for eight years, has tried to will this program into something more than what it is..."
Miss last Saturday's UTEP-Tulsa game? Well, you didn't miss much if you're a Miners fan. But if you're feeling guilty that you didn't suffer along with the other 15,000-or-so last Saturday in the Sun Bowl or the tens of...tens viewing on TV, fear not.
"...They're bucking history. Not soaring above it, not at 5-5. But the physicality, the ability to run and hit, the punch is unlike any team Mike Price has had in the high desert..."
UTEP head football coach Mike Price talks about the Miners come-from-behind win over East Carolina and previews this Saturday's game against Tulsa, jokingly saying he doesn't want the Golden Hurricane taking his team TOO seriously.
Miners head men's basketball coach Tim Floyd talks about UTEP's first win of the season over Cal-Riverside. The Miners had their issues throughout the game, but shot well both early and late in the second half as lanky freshman Hooper Vint knocked down two big three-pointers to seal the victory.
From Time Warner Cable Sports, here are UTEP's highlights from the Miners come-from-behind win over the East Carolina Pirates, including Joe Banyard's eventual game-winning 78-yard TD run.
Joe Banyard celebrated his birthday in grand fashion, as the senior running back scored on a 78-yard run in the fourth quarter to give UTEP a lead it would not relinquish.
UTEP head football coach talks about the Miners' disappointing 41-37 loss to Rice last Saturday and previews UTEP's game against East Carolina this Saturday night.
UTEP head football coach Mike Price reviewed the Miners disappointing 31-13 loss to No. 25 Southern Miss and previewed the upcoming game at Rice. Though the Owls have had a rough season, Price commented that his teams are 1-2 at Rice Stadium.
UTEP head football coach Mike Price discusses the disheartening loss to No. 25 Southern Miss. The Golden Eagles took advantage of some key Miner miscues in the fourth quarter to run away from UTEP, improving to 7-1.
Utep are taking on Houston tonight in a rare Thursday night game!

05 GC Hi-Flow Cat
I have an 05 Grand Cherokee with the 4.7 engine. I have some performance mods installed already but I was wondering if there was an aftermarket high flow catalyc converter. Also I was wondering if there was an under drive pulley available for that engine?
Re: 05 GC Hi-Flow Cat
Re: 05 GC Hi-Flow Cat
Re: 05 GC Hi-Flow Cat
May want to check the part numbers on the ones you have. If they're the same as the ones on the Hemi's, they're already high flow......according to the exhaust guy that built my complete header back system. I specifically asked him if they needed to be changed and he said, no, they are high flow wire spun (whatever that means) cats. All that being said, I have JBA headers and high flow cats. on my Hemi LX. Maybe they make some that will work on the WK's too. May want to check with them too.

Car prowlers busted in West Seattle
Information from Det. Mark Jamieson, Seattle Police Department Blotter:
The efforts of officers working an auto theft/car prowl emphasis patrol paid off early this morning when they responded to a report of a car prowl in progress and took into custody the two suspects.
At about 2:20 this morning radio broadcast a car prowl in progress in the 3800 Block of 45th Avenue S.W. Several William Sector officers were in the area already on an assigned auto theft/car prowl emphasis patrol. Two officers located the described suspect vehicle one minute later, and stopped it at S.W. Spokane St. and 46th Avenue S.W. The vehicle and one suspect were positively identified by a witness, and a large quantity of apparently stolen property, including at least 8 car stereos, was visible inside the car. These suspects are also likely responsible for a car prowl from earlier tonight, in which the suspects were seen leaving in a dark 2-door Honda.
Both suspects, a 26-year-old male and a 32-year-old female, were booked into the King County Jail for Car Prowl and the suspect vehicle, a green 1998 Honda Accord, was towed to the processing room, pending a warrant. Detectives will now handle the follow up investigation.

We are God's Family
Kim Vonheeder
There was a song we used to sing when I was a student at Multnomah.
Family ( echo),
We are God's family (echo).
Jesus (echo),
He is our King (echo)
(All) And I'm so glad He has brought us here together,
I'm so glad that the Father is our God.
The song was a favorite of ours and became the theme for the 1984-1985 yearbook. I had no idea how that song would echo throughout our lives.
During the summer of 2009, Multnomah had a 25 year reunion for the classes of 1982 to 1986. I was excited to think about seeing everyone again, but also a bit fearful. You see, I was unemployed. How could I answer the question, "So, Kim, what are you doing now?" Without looking like a failure? Then Ruth Knott-Schroeder, an alum planning to attend, sent a letter to all of us. In her letter, she talked about the difficulties she had faced since Multnomah and that she'd heard that many of us had also faced a myriad of problems….and, for those reasons, some were thinking about not attending the reunion. You see, we had been so idealistic. We had such grand ideas and high hopes for our futures. We were going to conquer the world for Christ and be shining examples of His work. But that's not necessarily how things worked out. Many, many of us have faced hardships like unemployment, depression, bankruptcy, job loss. Some have even faced things that our Christian subculture might gasp at: divorce, sexual sin, drugs, alcoholism. Ruth reminded us that, no matter what we've been through, no matter what we've done, we still belong to Him…and to each other. And that we are all ready to love each other and embrace each other, cry with each other, rejoice in victories, and share in the junk that life (and we ourselves) has handed us. We are family.
We are family
We enjoyed the reunion so much so that we decided those of us who could; we would get together again here in the Portland area. Last Saturday, a few of us gathered at McMenamin's Kennedy School. Again, you could see how difficult life had been. Several folks were facing health issues, crazy family situations, financial difficulties...the fallout of a sinful world. In the last Alumni Connection, Michelle Peel encouraged us to see God's imprint in our lives in the victories and defeats. And that's exactly what we need to do for each other. When someone can't see His fingerprints because life seems bleak, the rest of us need to come alongside and remind that person of the Truth. As I looked around Saturday evening, I was struck that we were doing just that. Praying for each other, encouraging each other and upholding each other. We're still family. We always will be. And truly, I am so very glad that He brought us here together; I am so very glad that the Father is OUR God.
Meet the author
Since Multnomah, Kim Vonheeder has gone on to get her Master of Arts in Teaching and added the ESOL endorsement to her Oregon teaching license. Although she is currently substitute teaching, she doesn't get much work and is, for all intents and purposes, still unemployed. If you see her at a freeway entrance, please be kind and throw money to her. Just not coins…they sting a bit.

Box Score
ALVA, Okla. (11-1-11) — Three Northwestern Oklahoma State University Rangers finished in double figures on Tuesday as the men's basketball team opened the season with a blowout victory over No. 12 College of the Ozarks (Mo.), 76-51.
Despite a sloppy start to the contest by both teams, the Rangers broke the game wide open midway through the first half after a 16-2 run by the home team. During that stretch, junior Marshall Bell had 11 of his game high 17 points, including three field goals from behind the arc.
Shortly after the Bobcats knocked down a three of their own to break the run with 5:01 to go in the first, Bell struck again with another three-pointer to extent the Northwestern lead to 14.
The Rangers eventually had their largest lead of the first half with just a minute to go in the half when they led by 18, 37-19.
Of the many positives from the season opening victory is the play of transfer forward Jeremy Felton. The big man missed all of last season with an injury, and on Tuesday night against the Bobcats, began to shake off the rust with a 14 point, seven rebound performance.
In general, the Ranger big men stepped up against a smaller Bobcat team, as Thiago Guilherme finished with 14 points and five boards, and Jonathan Freemyer added five points and six rebounds.
The Rangers largest lead of the game came late, with under a minute to go, with a 30-point spread.
Northwestern head coach Andrew Brown held true to form in the first home, playing aggressive defense on the Bobcats, forcing the visitors to turn the ball over 25 times. Seven Rangers recorded steals, led by Eze Akwari with three.
Up next for the Rangers is a date with Our Lady of the Lake (Texas) at home on Monday (Nov. 7) at 7 p.m. in Perceful Fieldhouse.
MISSION STATEMENT: Northwestern Oklahoma State University provides quality educational and cultural opportunities to learners with diverse needs by cultivating ethical leadership and service, critical thinking and fiscal responsibility.

My Website: FB LIKE PAGE (easier to communicate)My MM URL: http://www.modelmayhem.com/jigsr
Mayhem # 1636410
About MeHello, my name is Jigs. I've been doing wedding photography for a few years. I've also done other types of photography ranging from architectural-such as hotels, concerts, products-such as custom jewelry, couture, headshots & portraiture. I am in the midst of building a portfolio in high fashion, glam, portraits, Editorials & Beauty Shots. I am interested in working with open-minded people who share the same passion in the industry.
I've recently embraced the art and style of photographing Editorial & High Fashion. It seems that this will keep me happy for a long period of time...I'm sure Avant Garde is coming around the corner.
I am part of a crew that coops lighting, grip & other photographic equipments...so in short, I am fully equipped, mobile & ready to go anywhere for any type of shoot, indoors and out.
If you feel that it would be mutually beneficial for us to work together, drop me an email firstname.lastname@example.com so we can collaborate about the ideas you have in mind.
As it starts to cool down, I am planning to do a very LIMITED TFP/CD in Santa Clarita Valley. So if you're interested, just PM me and let's discuss about the shots/looks that you are seeking to add to your portfolio. If we come to an agreement that it's mutually beneficial for both of us, LET'S SHOOT!
***My colleagues and I are currently supporting Models, Make-up artists & Stylists that are based in Santa Clarita Valley, San Fernando Valley, Glendale & Burbank...Especially the ones that need photos to start their own portfolios. You can contact me on weekdays so we can discuss what direction you are aiming and what it is that you want to accomplish in a shoot.***
As of today, I have made some great connections in Hollywood. From Clothing companies, couturiers, lingerie distributors, modeling schools, modeling agencies to Hollywood publicists. They are constantly searching for "FRESH LOOKS" to do their shoots, representation, fashion shows, etc.
So if you are an up and coming model hit me up and maybe I can help you with a little boost and and in turn assist our friends by helping them discover the "FRESH LOOK" that they constantly seek.
If you have tendencies of being LATE OR FLAKY - ESPECIALLY ON THE ELEVENTH HOUR, PLEASE DO NOT CONTACT ME FOR A SHOOT. Most of our sessions involve a team of people that consists of grips, stylists and makeup artists that are fully prepared, ready and willing to work hard on every single shoot. I wouldn't wanna waste my time and most especially the time of the people I work with...The precious time you'd waste, could be spent with our friends and loved ones...Please be considerate.
Thanks and have a great day!

Credit Transfer
Students with previous theological training from a recognized institution may be granted certain credits toward their program of study upon application. Requests for transferred credits from other institutions or continuing education programs should be addressed to the Registrar and accompanied by documentation relating to the course requirements, syllabus, learning outcomes, class time, evaluation and transcript of marks. Transferred credit may not necessarily involve exemption from certain required courses.
Shared Credit: Where a particular undergraduate course from an accredited Bible College or religious institution can be shown to have specific relevance to one's Masters program at Carey, up to 6 credits may be granted as shared credit. A minimum grade of B- is required and the course must have been taken within the last ten years. These shared credits are applied to Carey's introductory courses only and transfer fees apply.
Those who wish to take courses at another institution for credit must receive prior written approval for the course. Requests for credit toward the Master of Arts in Spiritual Formation and the Master of Divinity degrees must be made to the Registrar of Carey Theological College; requests for credit toward the Doctor of Ministry must be made to the DMin Director of Carey Theological College. After written approval is received, the student must make application and register for such courses with the appropriate institution. On completion, an official transcript must be sent to the Registrar's Office. There is a fee for transfer credits.
Carey course offerings are published in advance so that students may plan their course load to fulfill the requirements of their program. Students should note the maximum number of transfer credits that are acceptable.
Grading Scales
The professor of record for any course may assign the marking of papers or other types of assignments to qualified individuals, including co-instructors, teaching assistants, and other faculty members.

Course Attendance
Students are expected to attend all scheduled class sessions in order to fulfill the degree requirements.
After the period for which tuition refunds are available, a "W" will be placed on the transcript of a student who withdraws from any course within the first half of the course. Beyond those dates, an "F" will be recorded on the student's transcript.
Students who undergo extreme hardship which was not of their causing, was beyond their ability to control, and prevents them from completing course requirements even given an extension, may appeal, in writing, to the Registrar for a Withdrawal from the course. If granted, a grade of "W" will be recorded on the student's transcript.
Grade Changes
It is the student's responsibility to appeal any error in grades and to bring it to the faculty or instructor's attention within two months following the issued grade. Grade changes are allowable for computational recording errors and must be corrected no later than the last day of classes of the next full term.
A student will be permitted to repeat a course in which he/she has received an 'F' grade. The better grade will appear on the student's transcript. Regular tuition fees will be charged for repeated courses.
Extensions for course work will only be granted in exceptional circumstances. If a student requests an extension that will make it impossible for the professor to submit the final grade no later than one month following the final assignment, the student must petition the Registrar's Office. If the Registrar's Office grants such a request, the extension deadlines will be clearly established and will be final. Work granted an extension may receive a grade reduction of up to one-third of the final mark.
Academic Probation
In each program of study, Carey Theological College sets standards for the competencies students are expected to achieve. Satisfactory academic performance (MDiv = B-; MASF= B- ; DMin = B) is a necessary prerequisite for a student to continue their program of studies. Should a student achieve final course grades that are below the minimum standard in three courses or fail to complete those courses within the specified time lines, that student will be placed on Academic Probation. Under Academic Probation, a student will be placed under the supervision of the Admissions Committee which may recommend one of several alternatives including remedial work, personal counseling, extension of time to complete the program, or withdrawal from studies.
Student Appeals
Students are assured the right to appeal any judgment relative to their academic program, whether it is permission to enter a degree program, a ruling regarding academic procedure or a grade given in any academic work. The appeal would normally be made, in the first instance, to the person or committee responsible for the decision under dispute (e.g. grades to Faculty, admissions to the Admissions Office). Any such appeal must be initiated no later than two months following notification of a ruling or a grade being issued. A written statement of the ruling will be issued to the student.
Where the student is not satisfied that the appeal is fairly heard or considered, a further appeal may be made to the Vice President Academic. The Vice President Academic will hear and discuss the circumstances attending the complaint and counsel the student regarding the issue. A written statement of the ruling will be issued to the student.
In the event that the appeal is related to the Vice President Academic or the Admissions Officer, the President will hear and discuss the circumstances attending the complaint and counsel the student regarding the issue. A written statement of the ruling will be issued to the student.
If the student is still not satisfied, the ruling may be appealed in a written summation to the Appeals Committee of the Senate of Carey Theological College. The decision registered by the Senate of Carey Theological College is final.
Student Representation to the Senate
All students are represented on the Senate of the College by MDiv student, Patrick Hsu. Students may contact their representative by email at email@example.com
Academic Integrity
A high standard of academic integrity is expected of all Carey Theological College students. Any infraction will be treated seriously and may be grounds for dismissal.
It is important that students understand what constitutes a lack of academic integrity and is considered to be academic dishonesty. Plagiarism misrepresents the work of another person (in whole or in part) as a student's own work or fails to give credit for either wording or ideas that belong to another. Learning to cite accurately other's work is critical for all students. Submitting the same material for credit in more than one course misrepresents effort and is dishonest.
Using unauthorized aids of any sort in examinations, completing work in unauthorized collaboration with others, or the unauthorized recording and use of class lectures are all examples of breaches in academic integrity.
The penalty for a lack of academic integrity may include a failing grade either in the assignment, examination or course, depending on the severity of the offense. Penalties will be recorded in writing and a note placed in the student's file, as well as communicated directly to the student by the professor and/or the Registrar.
All students are responsible for knowing and practicing academic integrity. Students are expected to become familiar with the Plagiarism Resource Centre for students at: http://www.library.ubc.ca/home/plagiarism/
Non-Academic Grievance
Carey Theological College attempts to provide a Christian community for students. Christian community involves communication, cooperation, commitment, and consideration of others. A student with a grievance of a non-academic nature may bring that grievance in writing to the President.
Gender Language
As language usage changes over time, the church must discern where its own language must change in order to continue to bear witness faithfully to the gospel. Modern English usage has moved away from using masculine terms to refer to groups that include women. The continued use of such terms in worship, writing, or conversation miscommunicates the invitation of the gospel and the nature of the church.
This policy refers to humankind. Examples of inclusive language for persons can be found in the NRSV and the TNIV translations. In regards to Scripture texts, the integrity of the original expressions and names of God should be respected. The language of previous eras and other authors need not be rewritten to conform to contemporary usage. It is expected that inclusive language will be used in written work, publications, and classroom conversation at Carey Theological College.
Discrimination and Harassment Policy
Carey seeks to be a community in which students, faculty and staff can grow together, free from discrimination and harassment. We are identified by our commitment to Jesus Christ and to the Scriptures which make Him known. Our purpose is that each of the members of Carey lead exemplary and honourable lives, consistent with and faithful to this revelation. So it is that we seek to love, honour, serve, guide and, where we have failed, to seek to make and be made right with one another. We acknowledge that we sometimes fail to live up to the high ideals upon which we claim to rest. Relationships may be fractured through acts or attitudes that either intentionally or unintentionally cause hurt. Discrimination and harassment, including sexual harassment, are two of many possible ways in which this sense of Christian community may be betrayed.
Anyone who believes that he or she has been subjected to comment or conduct which might constitute discrimination or harassment should report it to the Registrar.

Muslim extremist women are challenging al-Qaida's refusal to include or at least acknowledge women have played in the suicide bombing program. In a response to a female questioner, Ayman Al-Zawahri said in April the only role for women is caring for homes and children of al-Qaida fighters. There is some confusion about his comment since women have been involved in several suicide bombing efforts in Iraq. A woman, using the name Rabeebat Al-Silah,(Companion of Weapons)commented on the Internet that after listening to his comments "my heart was about to explode in my chest. I am powerless." Her views apparently reflects those of Muslim women who feel a strong commitment to fight with al-Qaida and welcome the chance to die in the service of something higher than their own lives.
A woman, Umm Farouq or mother of Farouq wrote on the Internet; " I use my pen and wrods, my honest emotions, Jihad is not exclusive to men." There is no way to know what percent of Muslim women share these views which welcome death in the cause of al-Qaida. Throughout history there have always been men and women ready to die in a noble cause. Perhaps, some of these women ignore the other noble cause — creating free and vibrant Muslim societies in which people of all faiths work together in peace and harmony.

My Surgeries came in a package deal of $10,500 due to me having a number of procedures. The Tummy Tuck was just one of them.
I am 61 years old & I hadbeen tiny almost all my life, 106 to 110lbs. I wore that bikini until I was almost 50 years old. I had always had a nice body until I was injured and put on steroids (prednisone). My body & face were so swollen up like a Balloon / Marshmellow and I gained a ton of weight because of the prednisone. Then I just seemed to give up & not care anymore, gained more weight & went up to 213 lbs. I got tired of the way I was looking, started to exercise, & diet. I firmed up my core(abs), and lost 77lbs over 1 year & 3 months, scheduled my 5 surgeries & just went for it.
I had my surgeries April 17,2012, 8 weeks ago. Now because of the weight lose I now need my Inner Thighs, Arms, & Breast Lifted. Remember, You've come this far, Never let yourself go from this point on, because your worth it (that is if your done having babies).
You should see my facelift pictures, they'd blow your mind. They're posted under: "greenblackpurple(the color I was) 61 years old & I would do it again"
Take Care & Heal Well
greenblackpurple18 Jun 2012
I guess I don't mind saying the word Grandma anymore either since I'm back to looking normal again.
I'm feeling great. I went back to work 5 weeks after having:
1. Face lift with fat grafting
2. Neck lift
3. Rhinoplasty
4. Blephaplasty (eyes upper & lower)
5. Tummy Tuck with liposuction
Only because I felt great and I took it very slow but sure & then had a week off before I worked again.
Probably a little to early since I clean houses. The vacuuming just about killed me, pushing & pulling. No wonder my Core (Abs) are hard, tight, & belong to a 20 year old now.I swear to all of you if you want to get those abs in shape, vacuum a 3000 sq ft home.
I still tape my incision & wear my 2ND stage body suit. It's time to start massaging my Tummy Tuck scar. I am in desperate need of that breast, arm, & inner thigh lift due to the weight loss.
I think for 2 months out, my tummy is looking pretty darn good for a 61 year old & I'm actually LOVING IT. It's to bad I'm not in my 30's again, I would be going out to the beach this summer in my bikini. The bikini top I have on is the last one I ever wore, DAMN IT. atleast I kept it. After the weight gain, I just never got back out there, maybe someday (with more surgeries) but by then I'll be looking for a 90 year old man.
Well, better late than never. I had to tell my daughter not to worry, I won't be going out anywhere in my yoga out fit or in that bikini top. It's just that I got tired of holding those 2 big droopy tubers up, I call boobs, while taking pictures of my Tummy Tuck to post.
Again, Take care & heal well

Let me know if you want to know where specifically...
I have already written a pamphlet on the do's & don'ts, what to take & buy while out of the country having Plastic Surgery.
What an experience, you just never know until you go through it.

"Basics of Basics" Control cable repair and restore.
Basics of Basics Control cable repair.
By Brian Martin
While working on my 1959 Rambler American the other day I was able to get a couple of rusted cables working and thought some of you may find it useful. I repaired my emergency brake cable that was rusted solid, it wouldnt budge! The one in the car had been forced and was ruined, luckily I had a parts car with another, but it too was rusted solid. When I found the heater control cable was the same way I figured I would snap some photos and write a basics.
Here is the cable as I pulled it from the car. This one in particular had a fan switch as well so finding another was pretty tough.
The first thing I did was to lube it. I put it in the vice and simply dripped some lube down the cable. I added more every time I walked out in the garage over a few days. With the brake cable I had it dripping out the other end, that was my goal. But with this one I didnt want that much, but hardly any goes in when you do this, most ends up going down the outside. So it takes adding that oil many times before I felt that it was well lubed in there.
If it is anything like my heater cable and emergency brake cable it still wont budge. You have to be careful not to push hard on the cable if it is hanging out of the housing, it will bend VERY easy. My original e-brake cable had done just that, pushing the handle forward to release the brake simply buckled the cable and rendered it useless.
So I put it in the vice as shown so I could hold the cable (at the loop at the end that goes over the heater control valve). Holding this cable so it doesnt bend is critical.
After gently pulling on the cable to find that it simply wouldnt budge, I twisted the housing with a pair of channel locks gently grasping the housing as not to crush it.
This was all it took, being I had lubed it well, as soon as I twisted it breaking it free from the cable it moved in and out pretty well. I then put it back in the vice to lube it more. I pulled the cable up and put some lube and pushed it down to it would push the oil deeper in down the housing and cable. Doing this a number of more times during the day as I was working on something else (you know you always have something else to work on!) it was free as can be and works like new.

I will say that the 15's have better interior and the transmissions/chassis are supposed to be better. However, we both like the look of the '14 better so, that's what we went with. Of course they were both solid when we drove them. I dont think you can go wrong, whatever you like is what you should end up with. Good luck!

FALLING SKIES, THE CLOSER Set for Streaming Exclusively on Amazon Prime
Amazon and Turner Broadcasting System have officially signed an exclusive deal to bring two of TNT's most acclaimed original series, FALLING SKIES and THE CLOSER, to the Prime Instant Video collection on Amazon.com. The two companies made the announcement this morning.

Prime runs at $79 a year, and is available online, on the Kindle Fire, and a range of other devices, including the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3.
For seven memorable seasons, Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson and the LAPD's Major Crimes unit have closed some of television's most intriguing, mind-bending and surprising cases. This summer, Johnson and her team faced their final cases together as the record-breaking blockbuster series starring Emmy(R) winner Kyra Sedgwick came to an end. Sedgwick has been joined by The Closer's extraordinary Screen Actors Guild Award(R)-nominated cast includes Jon Tenney as Brenda's husband, FBI Special Agent Fritz Howard; J.K. Simmons as Police Chief Will Pope; Corey Reynolds as Detective Sergeant David Gabriel; Robert Gossett as Commander Taylor; G.W. Bailey as Lieutenant Provenza; Tony Denison as Lieutenant Andy Flynn, Michael Paul Chan as Lieutenant Mike Tao, Raymond Cruz as Detective Julio Sanchez and Phillip P.

Not trying to steer this thread off course but, I have personally witnessed a negligent discharge, fired by idiot neighbor, go through four apartment walls and end up lodged in an exterior wall. Now when I say witnessed I mean the bullet flew between me and the TV I was watching. There was a streak of drywall particles & dust that flew across the room. The exterior wall was brick on the outside and the bullet was never recovered. The bullet was a 9mm, hydra shock, 124gr. No one was hurt in the incident. Standard drywall interior walls can NOT be relied on to stop bullets.Originally Posted by erh

Outside unit frozen
My outside unit has frozen up. Is this a sign of low refrigerant or defrost mode not working? It has rained here nontstop for 5 days. Outside temp is around 45 degrees.
However some units use what is called a "demand defrost" and they can leave ice rings like that, but yours seems too thick for that to be the case, but it's still possible.
Looks like a restriction in the distributor tubes feeding those rows.
I was able to get a better look at it during lunch today. It begins freezing up as the line comes into the unit. I think the reversing valve may be stuck but I really don't know. I've got someone coming out tomorrow to check it out.
Thanks for the input.
Ok, I had my HVAC tech come out. The problem was the defrost thermostat switch wasn't working. He got the freon down to -10 degrees and it wouldn't ever swith on. He forced it into defrost mode and verified that defrost mode would work.

COOLUM, Australia (AP) - The PGA of Australia will move the venue of its PGA Championship, which was overshadowed last year by the billionaire resort owner's decision to position a giant robotic dinosaur outside the clubhouse and post unusual signage around the course.
Thorburn said a ``lack of flexibility of dates ... and signage matters'' prompted golf's national governing body to seek alternatives to the resort owned by mining magnate Clive Palmer.
The contract with the resort had been in jeopardy since the 26-foot mechanical T-Rex nicknamed ``Jeff'' - placed between the ninth green and 10th tee - generated international headlines and plenty of jokes. Palmer agreed to turn off the movement sensors on the dinosaur so it didn't flip its tail or open its mouth for a menacing roar during the tournament.
He also put up more than 60 signs around the golf course to promote his business interests, which include his plan to build a replica of the Titanic. Some of those signs were in the landing areas on the fairways and forced organizers of the championship, which dates to 1905, to mark those areas ``ground under repair'' during the tournament.

About Us
Facilities Master Plan
Campus IT & Telecom
Campus IT & Telecom
Campus Information Technology (IT) and Telecommunications (Telecom) infrastructure must continuously evolve in order to provide effective and efficient service that is easy to maintain and update. All future services shall consider and incorporate needs within the long-term master planning goals of the college.
It is important that IT and Telecom infrastructure be part of the long-term planning of the college. As the college prepares for new building development and replaces outdated structures, clear and specific understanding of existing systems and planning for future needs is a critical planning component. Opportunities to acquire dedicated funding for IT and Telecom projects should be pursued, especially the development of alternate pathways to ensure uninterrupted service.
IT and Telecom systems are vital to the daily work of Green River, and the infrastructure must be in place to ensure that these systems remain in service during temporary shut downs, outages, and emergencies. Telecommunications and IT systems will be created such that a triangulation of services will ensure redundancy.
Also vital to the college is the development of a robust infrastructure management system with both on and offsite monitoring capability that uses one tool to receive alerts and manage systems.
Specific IT and Telecom infrastructure goals include the following:
- Pathway redundancy will be created throughout campus so that service is uninterrupted during unforeseen events.
- The current network of services will be surveyed and mapped. Future needs will be identified and documented.
- Subsequent changes will take into account the likelihood of future campus development to the greatest extent practical.
- Specific Infrastructure Project Request should be investigated.
- All future capital development must include improvement to the overall IT distribution network serving the new building.

Seven Reasons Why Computers Crash
It's a real pain when your computer just stops working, locks up, freezes or crashes. This sort of problem can be devilishly difficult to diagnose, because many things can cause a computer to crash. Here are seven common causes of computer crashes and some tips on how to deal with them...
Why Do Computers Crash?
Often I'll get a reader question along the lines of 'My computer is crashing, what should I do?'. As much as I'd like to help, that's not enough information to diagnose the problem and suggest a solution.
A computer crash can take the form of a complete power down, an unexpected restart, the Blue Screen of Death, or a screen freeze. In some cases, just restarting the computer will get you going again. But chances are, you haven't really solved the problem. Here are seven things that can cause your computer to crash:
HEAT: An overheated processor (CPU) will shut down without warning, to avoid damage. Heat can build up because a cooling fan is not working or is clogged with dust. Hard drives are also temperature sensitive, and I suspect that motherboards and RAM memory can become flaky when temperatures inside a desktop or laptop computer rise above normal. One of my computers used to experience random crashes every few months. I've found that periodically opening the case and cleaning all the fans, heat sinks and components with a can of compressed air would solve the problem.
There are several free utilities that monitor temperatures within your computer and fan speeds; some will even let you control fan speed. See Overheating: Enemy Number One for additional tips and download links. A few months ago, my desktop PC would just lock up or shut down at seemingly random times. I used a free temperature monitor program to determine that my graphics adapter was overheating, because it's cooling fan had failed. Fortunately, it was designed to send a "Warning, Danger!" signal to the motherboard, which prevented it from melting down or catching fire.
SOFTWARE ERRORS: If crashes occur only when you're using a specific software application, that's the first place to look for problems. Sometimes a software bug causes a crash when a certain operation is attempted. Check the software maker's Web site for any updates that may fix your problem. It's also a good idea to scan your computer to ensure that all your software is up to date with the latest security patches. See The Missing Link in Computer Security for some tips on getting that task done.
Occasionally, software may become corrupted or "scrambled;" that can cause crashes too. If software updates and a disk check (see below) don't fix your problem, you may have to remove and then re-install the corrupted software.
HARD DRIVE ERRORS are yet another potential cause of computer crashes. A problem with your hard drive doesn't necessarily mean that it needs to be replaced. There are a variety of factors that can cause files, folders, or partitions to become damaged or lost. Human error, malware, and poorly designed software are all possibilities.
A drive error may be a logical error in the Master File Table, or a defective sector on the disk itself. Windows has a built-in utility that will detect and fix logical errors, and mark bad sectors so they are not used to store data. See Windows 7 Hard Drive Errors for more information about the CHKDSK utility, and other programs that can help. If you can't restart your computer after a crash, see Help, My Hard Drive Died! before going off in search of a new hard drive.
MALWARE: Viruses and other forms of malware often causes computer crashes; in fact, some malware is written to do just that. Running a full scan with one or more good anti-malware tools is a good thing to do when crashes occur at random. If you want to replace or supplement your existing anti-virus protection with free alternatives, see my picks in Free Anti-Virus Programs.
DEVICE DRIVERS: Outdated device drivers can cause crashes. I've heard reports where simply plugging a device into a USB port caused a system crash. Drivers usually work fine until you install a new operating system or a major update to an existing operating system, such as a Service Pack. If you start suffering crashes after an operating system change, updating the drivers for your printer, scanner, CD/DVD drive, external hard drive and other peripheral devices may solve the problem. The best place to look for new device drivers is the vendor's website. Stay away from "driver update" websites and downloadable programs that offer to scan your system and supply new drivers. To learn more about device drivers, see Should You Update Your Drivers?
FLAKY MEMORY: It's rare for RAM memory to go bad, but that can be a cause of computer crashes. Sometimes a RAM chip with a "bad spot" will work fine, until a software program attempts to use that portion of memory. Memtest86+ is one of several utilities that can diagnose problems with RAM and other hardware that may be causing computer crashes. My related article How to Test and Fix Your Computer Hardware contains links to that and several other handy diagnostic programs.
FAILING POWER SUPPLY: Unexpected restarts can also be a sign of a failing power supply. When someone has tried everything else, and their computer is still glitching at seemingly random times, I often recommend a new power supply. Fortunately, power supplies are cheap and easy to replace yourself. See How to Replace Your Computer's Power Supply for some helpful tips.

My system will occasionally crash and often I get a message that my video driver has stopped working and Windows has recovered. Other times I just get the BSoD. Then I find if I shut down and actually unplug the machine from power, and restart it will work fine until the next time which could be a few weeks or a month later. But I do seem to have to shut the power source off to get things working again. I have an AMD 6900 series graphics card.

Now, why didn't you write this a year ago? Last April I was cleaning up my old XP computer, and it crashed just as the scan was finishing. Three weeks ago we found it was the RAM stick w/o cooling, and I was able to retrieve the income tax info I needed. OMG that beast is slllooooow! :-)

Thank you Bob as usual very informative and precise article.

Sometimes you have to really look "outside-of-the-box" to find out why you are having problems. About 25 years ago I got a new PC computer at my office (with monochrome CRT monitor no less), and it kept powering off randomly. I couldn't come up with any reason why this was happening, even after I had tried a number of troubleshooting tricks. I had the CPU sitting on my desk, with the monitor on top of it. Then one day, I noticed that the power button of the CPU was exactly at the same height as the back of my keyboard. So anytime I inadvertently pushed the keyboard away from me at just the right angle, it would hit the power button of the CPU, and turn it off. I put a riser under the CPU, and problem was solved!

Excellent article Bob! This kind of information is very useful to a computer user. Over the years I have run into several of these problems and it sure helps to have an understanding about the possible reasons for a given problem with your computer. Best regards,

I periodically lose my (cable modem) web connection. What gets it back is a cold shutdown - at the Command Prompt: Shutdown /s /t 0
Then I unplug the cable modem , wait 15 seconds and plug it in again.
Then I unplug the computer (actually, turn off the UPS switch) and press the Start button to purge stored data, plug back in and start. This runs the modem, router and computer through the complete handshaking procedure and gets me connected.

Thanks for the informative article, Bob.
There's a free program (and a Pro version) called WhoCrashed Home Edition v.5 by respeldence.com, which, if you run after a crash, will analyse the crash dump and render a report on the most likely cause.
I have found it very useful: some months ago my Windows 7 Pro BSODed now and again, and WhoCrashed's report referred every time to the Nvidia driver as the probable cause. Updating the driver solved the problem.

When I installed a Satechi USB 3.0 hub on my HP 1370t desktop, there would be a keyboard error at boot. The keyboard was plugged into a USB 2.0 port. USB hardware must be a challenge for computer manufacturers.

Sometimes if a program crashes it is due to some other program running or it's service still running after closing it. Also problem with a hd sometimes needs nothing more than unplugging cable both ends and reconnecting. When I get a new puter I always at least double the memory right off the bat.

Another handy axiom (if that's the right word) to remember is this: any computer problems one may encounter is not unique and that some unselfish humanistic person has posted a solution
Many happy returns:)

I picked up some malware and battled it to the death. I'm pretty I got rid of it with some aggressive tools (some from this column, thank you!) wielded in safe mode. BUT. Since then, my OS (XP) could not be updated. It just wouldn't access the Win upgrades. And MS diagnostics for WinXP would just lock up. Clearly the malware destroyed some crucial file. Now, of course, I guess that's moot as MS has cut XP adrift. But could you recommend some good XP diagnostics and help sites?
EDITOR'S NOTE: System Restore should fix a problem like that.

Bob ... I can't even begin to tell, my tales of woe, regarding computer failures and downfalls! Great article, to remind ALL of us, not to think immediately that the Hard Drive has failed or is bad!!!
There is nothing worse, than spending money, you don't really have, to replace a Hard Drive, go through all of the motions to replace a Hard Drive ... Only to find out ... The exact same problem, still exists!!! Been there, years ago. The time that happen to me, I began to learn to "Think out of the box" and look for other solutions, besides just the Hard Drive.
In "Thinking out the box", I found bad Graphic Cards, dead Memory Modules, corrupt software, Viruses, Trojan Horses, Worms and eventually, Malwares! One of the worst things that can and does happen ... The keyboard connection simply quits and can NOT be replaced, because it is part of the motherboard!!! Of course, this was back in the days of AT Motherboard and early ATA Motherboards.
What is today's culprit is ... The USB port(s). If, those are not working, you are in a really bad situation ... Because, neither your mouse or keyboard will work and how do you expect to "control" and do work, on your computer, when this happens. Thank goodness, you can purchase a PCI USB card, to save the day. For me, I just happened to have an extra one, laying around ... Geeks tend to do that, have a lot of extra computer stuff, laying around. :)
I can only suggest, for those who really don't know much about computers or how they work ... That they find a really good computer repair person or a wonderful friend, that is a computer Geek and will do things for you, for a song or some really good food.
I am lucky ... Since, I am my own computer Geek. However, I am always ready to help a family member or friend, when they really get into trouble. While, I don't do as much computer repairs today, I am more or less, retired ... I am still, more than willing to help, all I can. I am also, proud to say ... I rarely took money, for my services. Basically, because I am not an expert, with formal training, nor am I greedy. I would ask that they paid for all items needed and I would even find them bargains, so, they weren't paying exorbitant prices, when not necessary.
One small point to make ... Is your mouse doing erratic things and seemingly out of control ... If, this is a wireless mouse, check your batteries!!! The same goes for a wireless keyboard. Regular batteries die, all the time ... It happens to me, often. Yes, I have the "newer" wireless mouse and keyboard, but, it still happens, just not as often, now. :)

Bar Bar Black Sheep is a 3 Reel, 1 Payline Video Slot based
on the traditional nursery rhyme from which it lends its name.
Developed as a humorous light-hearted take on the popular rhyme,
this game features a 'Wild' multiplayer symbol in
the form of a lovable black sheep that looks anything but Wild!
If you see one then winnings are trebled by the multiplier
feature, except on jackpot combinations. This is an innovative
approach and the first time a 3x multiplier is being used for
a Wild substitution.
The top jackpot is $8,000, achieved through a maximum denomination
bet and is triggered when the name of the game is graphically
presented on the single payline - Bar Bar and the Wild Black
sheep symbol as a combination.
So come and have some fun and be transported back to some golden
childhood memories with Bar Bar Black Sheep!
