Three raid instances were immediately available at the release of Wrath of the Lich King. I don't want to spend a lot of time breaking down these three, since they were actually released in 2008. However, all three still see traffic even today, and each exemplifies some portion of the new raid design in 2009. So, without further ado, let's start talking about the Raids of 2009.
Obsidian Sanctum
The Obsidian Sanctum proved to be the home of Sartharion. While there's not a lot of lore you easily encounter, the basic idea behind the fight is that Sartharion was protecting the eggs of the Black Dragonflight. That's bad. So you go to the basement of Wyrmrest Temple, and beat him down. We have to kind of gloss over the fact that Alexstrasza and dozens of other big, beefy dragons are right there and presumably perfectly capable of dealing with this issue themselves. If it weren't for little suspensions of disbelief like that, we wouldn't have much to do in the game world.
Sarth was a fairly simple raid on its normal difficulty. You go in, and you fight three little dragon bosses. This is the first of fights in Wrath which involved a "dance," though. Raiders were required to not-stand-in-stuff, click portals to enter a phased world, and otherwise react to environmental stimulus. The dances weren't difficult for most people, but they still had a learning curve for people who had never raided before. The final fight with Sarth himself was definitely a dance routine: dodge waves of lava, handle adds, and tank Sartharion. Again, not the most difficult fight out there, but certainly new content for many people.
Sartharion, however, is the home of the first Hard Mode in Wrath of the Lich King. Not only did he have a Hard Mode, but he had the first variable Hard Mode. If you wanted a bigger challenge -- and better loot -- you could decide just how hard you were going to make the fight. With each of those little drakes you left up, you got a more difficult challenge. And with that greater challenge, came greater loot.
The level of difficulty you could handle became known as Sarth-1D, Sarth-2D, and Sarth-3D. Sarth-3D was, obviously, the most difficult version. With each drake you left up, Sartharion got tougher and tougher. You raid had to spontaneously handle the big boss himself plus all those mini-bosses (and their respective dances).
Sarth-3D became a litmus test that proved or denied the abilities of different tank classes. Death Knights rose to prominence for a while, since their cooldown-based defensive abilities were perfectly suited to this scripted dance routine. By comparison, Paladins were called into question as effective tanks, since they had no real defensive cooldowns (at the time). When Sarth-3D was considered bleeding-edge content, the small cooldown differences were a big deal
Naxxramas was relatively straightforward compared to Sartharion. While Naxx didn't have any real Hard Modes, it did have more Achievements than you could shake a wand at. Almost every boss had some kind of achievement, and mastering them all became a point of pride for many raiders.
Probably the most difficult achievement was the Undying and the Immortal. These elusive achievements were obtained when no raid member died during any boss fight in a single raid ID. When you consider that Naxxramas had 15 different boss fights, that was one heck of a task when Naxxramas was contemporary content. Both versions of the title were rewarded with a special mount, and that mount became a mark of prestige on server communities.
When Ulduar was released, and better-than-contemporary gear hit the streets, the special mounts were stripped from the achievements. However, the character titles were left in place, as a goal for new raiders. When you consider something like server lag can rob you of the title, I think that's pretty reasonable. Even a tank with 60k health or more could die to a bad lag spike nowadays.
Eye of Eternity
Few raids can produce as much frustration as Eye of Eternity. With only a single boss, Eye of Eternity can still feel like three entirely different fights. You start off fighting Malygos, then his henchmen, then you hope onto vehicles to fight Malygos again.
Eye of Eternity was the first raid to use Wrath's new vehicle technology. Players had a taste of dragon-riding and vehicle-piloting through the Occulus (which everyone hates), Wintergrasp, and about a dozen different quests. But when you hit the third phase of Malygos, your piloting skills were truly put to the test.
The problems with Malygos's vehicle phase felt numerous. Raiders' efforts to improve their gear were relatively meaningless to the third phase, since the dragons you rode weren't originally affected by your item level. The phase felt buggy and random, and can be very confusing to raiders to this day.
But the third phase of Malygos did something brand new in WoW raiding. The fight literally introduced players to a third-dimension. You no longer simply moved your character forward, backward, left, and right. You now had to contend with "up" and "down."
With this brand new third dimension being a real factor in the fight, it's no wonder many players struggle with Malygos. Iterative changes to the encounter have made it much more palatable, but it can still be a tough experience. Most raids with which I'm familiar categorize it as a "when we have to" raid, as opposed to something they farm for fun.
In the next edition of Ready Check, we'll start looking at the actual raids released during 2009. These were all direct outgrowths of the philosophy and initial raids of Wrath.
Ready Check is here to provide you all the information and discussion you need to bring your raiding to the next level. Check us out weekly to learn the strategies, bosses, and encounters that make end-game raiding so much fun.

Syracuse VA Medical Center
Chief of Neurosurgery Named
Dr. Jennifer Jennings
Chief of Neurosurgery at the Syracuse VA
Dr. Jennings, a native of Houston, Texas, received her bachelor's degree in Human Biology, from Stanford University and completed medical School at the University of Texas at San Antonio. She served as Senior Resident in Pediatric Neurosurgery at Children's Hospital in Boston and as a Neurosurgical Resident at Upstate Medical University in Syracuse.
While attending Stanford University, Dr. Jennings developed an interest in health care. She became passionate about serving under-served communities and in fact, after graduation, worked at the Native American Woman's Health Education Resources Center at the Yankton Sioux Reservation in South Dakota where she forged mutually strong relationships with Native American Women. The organization addressed issues specific to this community, like environmental concerns and domestic violence.
And following, Dr. Jennings joined AMERICORPS, the "domestic Peace Corp" in San Francisco, where she worked full-time at South Market Center, a free clinic serving primarily the homeless population. She assisted a segment of the population who suffered from concomitant mental health and substance abuse problems.
Returning to Texas to enroll in Medical School in San Antonio, Dr. Jennings worked with the local VA and helped to develop a free clinic for the residents of San Antonio. As a medical school student, she witnessed her first Open Heart surgery. That experienced inspired her to enter the field. Said Jennings, "The intricacies of brain and spine, and the surgery required for conditions such as tumors, trauma, vascular malformations and degenerative changes are fascinating, as are the continuing advances in the field, such as neuronal repair and deep brain stimulation."
Dr. Jennings notes that women comprise only a small percentage in the field of surgery. She estimates that of the 4,000 neurosurgeons now practicing in the United States, only 100-200 are women. She also notes that Neurosurgery Residency is a seven-year program and extremely competitive to obtain. Only 150 neurosurgery residencies were available across the country when she first applied.

: Shea Moisture ~ Moisture Retention Shampoo
I purchased this a few weeks back when Walgreens had the BOGO on SM products. I already use the Curl Enhancing Smoothie and the Deep Treatment Masque, so I figured the sale was a good time to pick up the shampoo. I used it for the first time today and I really like it! My hair felt clean, but not super stripped...which is always great. It had just the right amount of lather, so I didn't feel like I needed to pile it on my head like I usually do with cleansers that don't have much lather. I could go without the smell, but hey it cant be all perfect.
What are your opinions on this shampoo? Have you guys tried anything that's been on the scene for awhile but you just never got around to it?
I also used the DTM to do my twists for the first time, so we're gonna see how that comes out tomorrow.

Any "end all be all" advice on installing Fel Pro 1206 gaskets on aluminum heads/intake? Last time I did it with a bead of RTV between the gaskets and heads, and just made a complete mess and I ended up with an oil leak from the front of the lifter valley. It's been recommended to discard the small sections of gasket that go on the front and back of the lifter valley in favor of RTV/Silicone because they can "slide out of place". Who feels what? I'm going to use some studs to hold the gasket in place and bring the manifold in straight this time, then remove them as I replace them with the bolts.

The freezing temperatures that covered the United States last week turned deadly for AC Anderson, an elderly man with schizophrenia, who froze to death outside his own home in Milwaukee, reports Meg Kissinger for the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel ("Mentally ill man froze to death days after police were called," Jan. 7).
Anderson had gone off his medications for schizophrenia in 2009. In the years since, his wife, Beverly Anderson, made multiple attempts to get him back on medicine "so he wouldn't see rabbits coming out of floorboards or imagine that little men were coming through the heat vents to stab him."
Records show she "called 911 more than 60 times trying to get help for her husband," reports Kissinger. But "police told her that unless he threatened to hurt himself or someone else there wasn't anything they could do."
Beverly found her husband frozen to death outside their home just three days after her most recent attempt to get her husband into a hospital. She guesses that he woke up in the middle of the night, as he often did, and went outside to escape his hallucinations.
"The law limits what police can do with a patient who is not obviously in danger," said Jim Kubicek, acting director of Milwaukee County's Behavioral Health Division, who commented on Anderson's death in the Journal Sentinel. "These are the standards we have to work with."
While Wisconsin's laws and treatment standards are better than many states, it seems they were either misunderstood or underused in this case.

In a plush Mayfair drawing room, Charles March is talking about his restored life as a professional photographer after 20 years dedicated to his family estate at Goodwood. "I feel I'm going back to where I was before that, and making up for all that time on the estate," the dashing 57-year old says with a smile. The return is marked by his first exhibition, a collection of large-scale black and white and colour photographs of trees showing not in a white-walled Mayfair gallery but Bermondsey's Project Space managed by Crisis.
For most people who know Charles, Earl of March, photography doesn't match his identity as photographer or mentor of Crisis homeless 'clients,' but as owner and manager of Goodwood, "the sporting estate." Since taking the baton from his father, the 10th Duke of Richmond and Lennox in 1992, he has developed its international identity through racing events - Glorious Goodwood (horses) and Festival of Speed (cars), and his creation of the golf course and Cass Sculpture Park. And now the list includes his first love. "When I left London and came back to Goodwood," he says, "I became so focussed on other things that I put photography out of my mind…until about four years ago, when I started photographing the trees. They have always played a big part in my life and I've always been very conscious of their presence. I'd photographed some since before I was 12."
That intimate connection with nature is apparent in March's passionate descriptions of the trees he works with. The results are original, almost abstract interpretations of subjects he endows with almost animist character. "Library Lawn is an almost mystical image," he says, "A gorgeous 300-year old Mediterranean Cork Oak brought over in the 18th century by my great grand-father. It's visible from all the windows facing South and gets the evening sun; there's a moment when that low golden light makes the whole thing shimmer and light up - not a vertical shimmer, more of a stammer across it."
In contrast, the spindly trees in High Wood 2 are so overwhelmingly green as to suggest digital manipulation. "I use a digital camera," he admits, "But I never photo-shop," he says firmly, "This is part of an ancient woodland and I'm keen on the natural range of bright greens in the series." As each photograph is vastly enlarged – some up to nine feet – the colours often merge into abstract designs.
With the family's renowned art collection, March reveals that photography was also important. His grand-father, "a good photographer and an artist, had a lot of interests – cars, engineering and photography – which were mine too. He bought me my first enlarger." The seed was sewn: at school, he was inspired by the Master who taught photography and dark-room printing – "a magical experience," he recalls, "But Eton had no interest for me and I left at 16."
A year later and for 12 months, he shot stills for Stanley Kubrick's film, "Barry Lyndon," and still reveres his support and advice. The experimental cinematography of Kubrick and Ken Adams [Oscar-winning Production Designer] clearly influenced his advertising future. But before that move, the teenager spent nine months in North Kenya, living amongst the Buraan tribe and photographing patients at the Chief's mobile clinic. "I used pictures for words, as we didn't speak each other's languages, and I read a lot. The experience fulfilled the education I never had at Eton!" he laughed.
After Kenya, he plunged into studio life and advertising, known as Charles Settrington. He describes the manual labour involved in still lifes which created "magic images which tricked the brain." His ads for Benson & Hedges and Silk Cut involved trend-setting trompe l'oeil and lighting experiments.
In contrast, shooting trees is simple and solitary and involves a fixed lens, slow shutter speeds and the crucial, camera shaking. "The shaking idea came when I was in the woods. I wanted something more than photographing the trees than was there, not just a documentary image but an emotional thing that may not be obvious. Shaking in different ways creates the random element, and is vertical or horizontal according to the flow of the tree. For "Godinwood Rise, I jolted the camera downwards. With the chestnut trees in Gothic Avenueglowing orange in the evening light, this had to be absolutely perfect so that when the camera moves, it creates a golden streak on the trunk."
March's slow, meticulous technique shares the slowness of painting and in places, evokes patches of Turner landscapes. Perhaps it explains his escape from the noise and speed of horses and racing cars and into the silent language of trees.

Adobe Illustrator CS4
REVIEW DATE : November 14, 2008
PROS: Multiple artboards for multipage support. Transparency in gradients. Organic Blob Brush. Other useful refinements.
In my review of Adobe Illustrator CS3 last year, I wrote that I expected the next version "to knock our collective socks off with some unimaginable new feature." Well, my career as a prognosticator is finished. Illustrator CS4 is here (as a standalone app for $599 direct or as part of all CS4 suites except Web Standard) and it lacks the sort of killer addition that made Photoshop CS4 a five-star app. Don't get me wrong: I tested under Microsoft Windows Vista and Macintosh OS X Leopard, and I did find that many existing features had been polished, enhanced, and made easier to find. And there are a couple of new ones that might make this version a drawnot because these features are "unimaginable," but because users have been waiting for them for years. Overall, this is still the best vector graphics application out thereit just didn't improve this year as much as I'd expected, and not quite as much as I'd hope for the $600 price tag (or the $200 upgrade).
The biggest overdue feature in the new Illustrator is the multiple-artboard capability, which lets you easily work on numerous related documents within a single file, sharing assets and settings freely. Simply drag the Artboard tool into the workspace and a new artboard appears in the document, which can have up to 100 boards of varying sizes. You can export each board as an individual file or all of them in one multipage PDF document. The multiple-artboard feature goes a long way toward satisfying the many who have been waiting for something like multipage support, and it's a much better solution than some sort of "pages panel" would be.
I also really like the implementation of another long-awaited newcomer: a feature that lets you add transparency into Illustrator's gradients. The Photoshop-style interface for handling transparency makes for a seamless transition from one app to the other. Just as in Photoshop CS4, you can click and add color stops to a gradient in the Gradient palette, specifying an opacity percentage for each stop you create. But there's also an excellent gradient control bar that appears right on top of the gradient in the document, giving a hands-on feel to your adjustments. It's great that the essential ability to add transparency to gradients has at last come to Illustrator.
In CS3, I liked the ability of Illustrator's Eraser tool to wipe through vectors as if they were pixels, invisibly doing the math to adjust the paths on the fly. CS4's new Blob Brush is sort of the inverse of the Eraser. Paint with the brush and complex overlapping strokes combine into a single vectorized "blob." In my testing, the feature worked very well with input from digital pen tablets such as those made by Wacom, and it certainly helps add an organic feel to both the act of creating vector art and to the art itself.Next: Illustrator Refinements
Illustrator Refinements
That's about it for big new features, but you'll find quite a few refinements of existing capabilities that do a lot to improve the overall user experience. Smart Guides now sport a pop-up readout of coordinates, just as in InDesign CS4, to help you position objects. And the already-useful Isolation Mode has become a lot more so when it comes to helping you sort through a tangle of vector paths to single out the one you want to edit. The mode now displays a breadcrumb trail to assist you in navigating the hierarchy of grouped objects and paths in your work.
An improvement to the Appearance panel lets you edit multiple object characteristics and hide or display attributes the same way you'd turn layers on and off in Photoshop. Illustrator also benefits greatly from the new tabbed document interface, found elsewhere in CS4. It requires little real estate but lets you move elements between documents simply by dragging them from one and dropping them onto another's tab. I wish, though, that Photoshop CS4's excellent "spring-loaded" keyboard shortcuts (which when held down give temporary access to the tools they're associated with) had made it into this toolbox-centric program as well.
Overall, Illustrator remains a key player in the world of digital design. The new version has a few things that serious users have wanted for ages, namely multipage support or gradient transparency, both of which are well implemented. But there's nothing here that's going to knock your socks off; it's a little harder to justify the $600 this new version will cost you than the $700 asking price for the more-innovative Photoshop CS4. If you're buying the entire CS4 suite, you'll get your money's worth with the Illustrator version, but if it's a question of buying the standalone version, Illustrator CS4 may not be a "must-have" upgrade, though it's definitely a "probably want."

Orlando Festival 2014Festivals / Other
August 06-17 2014, Various times
The Orlando Festival stands for quality chamber music. The oldest in the Netherlands, the Orlando Festival celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2011.
Chamber music is a type of classical music that relies on small groups of instrumentalists instead of entire orchestras. Intimate in nature, the violins, violas, basses, brass instruments, cellos and more come together produce absolutely angelic sounds.
Over the course of the event, musicians, conductors, ensembles and audiences of all ages come together in the abbey of Rolduc to appreciate chamber music in a beautiful setting.
Certainly one of the most significant festivals of its kind in Europe, students, professionals and fans all celebrate this classic art form in a series of evening concerts, master classes and workshops.
2014 edition of the Orlando Festival
This year, the Orlando concerts revolve around the work of Beethoven.
Renditions of his work will be performed with new takes, interpretations and in exciting locations where visitors wouldn't expect to find the tunes of a master composer.
Featured performers for the 2014 edition of the festival include the Casals Quartet, South Korean pianist Hyu-Suu and Japanese pianist Saiko Sasaki.
For string instruments, all of the guests are major players in the international chamber scene and include violinists Vera Beths, Alex Redington and Saeko Oguma and cellists Jakob Koranyi, Stefan Metz and Maarten Mostert.
Rounding out the line-up is an inspiring mix of woodwind and brass players such as flutist Herman van Kogelenberg, oboist Miriam Pastor Bergos, clarinettist Arno Piters, trumpeter Ad Welleman and Fons Verspaandonk on French horn.

Temporary columns for a not-so-temporary fix?
Hey guys, well I recently found out (via an engineer) that the under-structure of my Mom's house is in far worse shape than we had ever feared. Broken joists, twisted joists, joists that don't connect to sill, joists notched too much, main beam splitting horizontally, temporary columns (that have been there 25 years), no footings under columns, etc....
To be frank about this, there is nearly zero money to work with, I'm unemployed and my Mom can't get any kind of rehab loan (or any other loan at all). So, my question is would it be a worthwhile thing, to just go out and buy a bunch of temporary support columns/jacks and put them in the spots that need it most? I don't plan on tightening them too much, just enough so that they stop any further sagging/breaking but not so much that they start to lift anything up.
I don't know what else to do, I'm guessing we'd need at least $30-50k to put this right and probably lots more. I am just wanting to put our minds at ease for at least a few years until we can get some money together.
Sound like a reasonable plan given my options? Oh, did I mention that her home inspector missed all of these issues except for the temporary columns!
You have to do what you need---
Post pictures --we will do the best we can---Mike---
there is an old saying = "gotta do what ya gotta do"
lol, thanks guys, just wanted to know it wasn't a totally crazy idea. I will try to get some pics up in the next few days. I also plan on putting in cross-bracing since there's absolutely none currently.
I did some more research and found out there are "permanent" adjustable steel columns, of course the fine print is that they're only supposed to be used as secondary supports, but I figure that's what they'll be more or less, just shoring up what's already there.
Cross bracing will do no good at this point.
Poring footings, adding beams of doubled up 2 X 8's sitting on concrete block piers to split up the spans.
Sistering any failing floor joist.
When you do get the money, your looking at cutting out all the subfloor to be able to replace all the floor joist and main beam.
There has to be a reason all of this stuff failed, insect damage, fungus on the joist, earth quake, something. Figure out what caused it before replacement.
This is just the tip of the iceberg, the other two floors are inadequate too. That's part of the reason I'd like to only use temp supports because eventually we'll need to relocate some walls upstairs to redistribute the weight of the house, and then I can just move the temp columns & beams to wherever the new walls will be. (or hopefully just put in proper columns with footings).
It's frustrating,trying to fix someone elses stupid work---
Stay focused on the solution ---you will get it---Mike---
lolly columns will be fine
the reason for not being allowed for code is not because they are unsafe,but,because they do not want unaware homeowners adjusting them to fix a high or low spot on a floor above
Make sure you use something to spread the load from the lally posts out if you don't know what kind of shape the basement floor is in. You don't want one or more of them just punching thru the floor.
Thanks much for the word of support Oh'Mike! Pics are coming tomorrow! Finally found my camera. I do have a couple questions for you now though. I am pretty naive when it comes to lumber grades and such, so what should I look for when it comes to buying a good quality joist? My preference would be something I can get at Lowes since I have a credit card with them. I've been seeing a lot of that "Bluwood" stuff on TV that is supposed to prevent bugs, mold and moisture issues, but I have no idea where to get it, seems to be a Canadian thing from the searches I've done.
I frankly plan on just sistering ALL of the joists, it might be ambitious but they all have issues somewhere along their lengths, but my main reason is, as I said earlier, the loads aren't correctly being spread though the house, so I'd like each joist to be strong as possible to compensate.
Finally, do any of you know of a good DIY book that would cover this stuff? Most of the ones I've looked at just cover very basic home repairs, nothing structural.
You will need to punch an opening in the basement floor and dig footings.
That old house has a thin 'skin for a floor--it will not support a column.
sorry--No books to recommend---There must be old engineering books on the subject,but I don't know them.
Keep us fed with pictures,drawings and descriptions and we will do the best we can---
Remember---you are stacking every thing from the bottom---start with footings --add columns and girders (if needed--then move up to the next level---stacking on top of your new stronger base--
You might want to check around to see if you can find resources for getting engineering assistance for those with limited incomes. Perhaps local old house salvage places would be a good place to inquire? Habit and the like also?
I say this because you'd probably want to get a 'big picture' answer before you put in anything. It would really be a shame to have your interim efforts turn out to be in the way of the 'real' long term solutions.
I'd be thinking 1/2" steel plate for the temps unless you have engineering drawings showing where to set footings for permanent supports.
K guys here's some pics.
This is one of 3 main beams, problem is that it runs parallel to the joists and it IS bearing weight, a lot of weight, the beam itself isn't touching anything on top, it's nailed to a 2x12 that is touching subfloor right next to the 2x8 joist. I have no idea how to jack around this thing when it's taking a lot of weight. If you note the white thing in the bottom to the left of the water heater, that is a big "stick", it's not even cut lumber, that is holding up the other end of the beam...nice.
I think this speaks for itself, this is where the beam in the previous pic, T's into the middle of a second beam running perpendicular to the joists. You can see the jack's plate is "cupping" or whatever it's called. I can't move this beam easily as it's fixed into the stone foundation on one end but I will add more supports for it.
Yep, about 1" of the joist is all that's holding it onto the beam here, same on other side.
Here's the link to my photobucket album with the rest of my pics, just took some general ones. In case you're wondering, I've had to rip out all the ducting for the furnace in order to access most of these areas, that "happened" to be hidden by the ducting.

Georgia Earns 3-2 Come From Behind Win Over Ole Miss
Nov. 15, 2013
OXFORD, Miss. – The Georgia volleyball team fought back from a 0-2 deficit to take a 3-2 (21-25, 10-25, 25-11, 25-17, 15-6) win over the Ole Miss Rebels on Friday, Nov. 15 in Oxford, Miss. With the win, Georgia grabs a season sweep of the Rebels, marking the third sweep of a conference opponent this year for the Bulldogs. Georgia is now 19-8 on the year and 9-6 in Southeastern Conference action. Ole Miss drops to 13-14 overall and 3-11 in SEC play.
"This was a great comeback tonight," Head Coach Lizzy Stemke said. "I am extremely excited about the level that we finished at tonight. We were a little slow with everything at the beginning and Ole Miss came out of the gates firing on all cylinders. We flipped a switch going into game three and played with great emotion and determination for the rest of the match. This was a great team road win."
Brittany Northcutt picked up her eighth double-double of the season, recording a team-best 17 kills and adding 15 digs. Lauren Teknipp and Tirah Le'au finished with double-digit kills, recording 13 and 10, respectively. Kaylee Kehoe paced the offense with 25 assists, with Maggie Baumert finishing with 23. Elena Perri led the Bulldogs defensively at the net, finishing with a team-best eight blocks. Stacey Smith was second on the team with four blocks, followed by Jasmine Eatmon with three. Allison Summers led the team with 18 digs.
After dropping the first two sets 25-21 and 25-10, the Bulldogs found their offensive rhythm and made it a 2-1 match with a 25-11 win in the third set. Using the serve of Chloe Buckendahl, the Bulldogs raced out to an early 5-1 lead, grabbing two points off of Buckendahl aces. The Bulldogs strung together three-straight points to extend its lead to 10-3. Georgia maintained the lead and after a kill by Teknipp, Ole Miss used a timeout trailing 18-9. Following the break, Ole Miss got a kill from Aubrey Edie, but the Bulldogs answered with six straight points, including three on Northcutt kills to reach set point at 24-10. Teknipp sealed the 25-11 win with a kill.
Georgia's momentum continued into the fourth set at the Bulldogs took an early 12-5 lead that forced Ole Miss to use a timeout. During the stretch, Georgia got four kills from Northcutt, along with kills from Le'au, Smith and Teknipp. Ole Miss made it a six-point set at 12-6, but Georgia got the point back on a service error by Ole Miss. Holding a 14-9 advantage, the Bulldogs put together three-straight points to give them a 17-9 lead. Trailing 20-12, Ole Miss rattled off three points that cut Georgia's lead to 20-15 and caused the Bulldogs to use a timeout. Out of the timeout, the Bulldogs scored five of the final seven points to seal the 25-17 win and tie the match at two.
Georgia and Ole Miss traded points over the opening possessions of the fifth set, before a Northcutt kill sparked a 5-0 run that forced Ole Miss to burn a timeout. The run continued after the break, as two errors and a block by Perri and Le'au put the Bulldogs up 12-4. Georgia allowed just two more points before a Le'au kill and a Ole Miss error sealed the 15-6 set five win and the 3-2 come-from-behind match win.
Georgia returns to action on Sunday, Nov. 17 when it travels to Starkville, Miss., to take on Mississippi State at 2:30 p.m. Georgia is looking for a sweep of the Bulldogs, as it took a 3-2 win over Mississippi State earlier this year.

So i've been throwing around some ideas for an STX legal pipe and here's what I've come up with, tell me why it won't work please.
Option 1. Buy a 3" Catless Down-pipe, and 2 hi-flow cats from JEGS or the like, take it to metal shop at work, have them weld it in.
Option 2. Buy the Helix Down-pipe(or something similar), which appears to have CEL issues, and then buy a single hi-flow cat from JEGS or the like, take it to metal shop at work, have them weld it in.
I mean, currently the only proven option is $900. I could pick up a Helix catted for $329, a cat for $90-170, and pay $50 or two cases of beer to have it welded in for me. Looks like i stand to save massive cash.
Cats I was looking at:
It just seems to me that if our cars sound like they are inconsistant in passing, in my world, that means that you have a tolerance stackup or are very close to the edge of functionality, so adding a cat like I listed should get me to be in the clear.
Plus, based on the DP that bigsky posted, and the pony-keg size cat he's got, i'm pretty sure i don't have to worry about how big of a cat i need to install.
Edit: The other part to this, if needed, is i'm thinking of using a hole saw, cutting out the 02 bung, then making the same hole somewhere else, and moving the bung to the opening i just created.

The iPhone app for agents from Trulia was announced before the holidays.
Trulia, a leading site for home buyers, sellers, renters and real estate professionals, today announced the launch of a brand new iPhone app, Trulia for Agents. The iPhone app integrates mobile, social and location-based technologies to help agents meet new clients, showcase their local expertise and access their business from anywhere. The Trulia for Agents iPhone app is the first national mobile application designed specifically for the residential Real Estate Industry. Agents can download the app for free from Trulia.com or the iTunes store.
It can pit agents against one another, but also lets clients see where their agents are checking in.
FoursCrowd uses foursquare's API to show you which locations in your area are the most popular, and uses data from previous days to predict whether that spot will be popular at any given time.
Clearly, 2012 is about the metaapp.
MapMuse today announced the release of its Winter Funand Winter Services maps, two series of web-based locators that find winter-themed retailers, services, and places across the USA and Canada.
There's an iPhone app, too.

First track night with the SVT
So I haven't been to a 1/4 mile strip since high school so my driving wasn't to great. I know what I did wrong and I'll work on that. Plus it was the first time I had driven in with F46 pulled and I wasn't sure how much spin I would get. Other than that I do have a bad O2 sensor(wanted to run it with a bad one just to see how much improvement I would see with a new one). As far as mods its just got a magnaflow set up and a AEM CAI. It was pretty humid but other than that conditions are pretty good.
I actually called this one exact when asked what I would run.
First Run:
60': 2.430
330: 6.774
1/8: 10.292
1000: 13.315
1/4: 15.851
popped the clutch a bit too high
Second run:
60': 2.498
330: 7.022
1/8: 10.616
1000: 13.699
1/4: 16.2
Like I said first time to the track in a while dont be too mean.
yeah it's all in the 60 foot time. I think on average the SVt ranges from low to mid 15's so maybe a 15.8 with a bad o2 sensor isn't too bad.
Not too bad and yeah its all in the 60' my best was 15.7 with a 2.3 60' . So did you have fun at least??
Yeah I had a great time despite the fact it took them about an hour to get some oil off the track and I could have gotten a few more runs in there.
Yeah that happens sometimes one time it took them like 30 mins tto clean the track and I was next in line and there was this rich boy there in his S2000 and we both lined up after they cleaned the track. So everybody was watching us and guess what I beat him hahaha it was so great.
not too bad i guess....i went to the track for the first time in my life the other day and i ran like an 11.1 in the 1/8 at 68mph but my reaction time and off the line was just embarassing....lets just say my launch sucked
The Focus in WOT does not use the o2 so you shouldnt see any change from changing it for the track

Let's Date Takes On Online Dating With Mobile App
How can you apply technology to refining your next date, based on the good (or really bad) experience you had on your last date? LetsDate, a new, mobile app startup headed by Sean Suhl (SuicideGirls), is doing just that, by using your feedback on dates to help refine, over time, how you connect with other singles. Let's Date is the the latest startup out of Los Angeles-based Science Inc., the startup incubator headed by former MySpace Mike Jones, and is hoping to help solve the many issues with current online dating applications.
The new startup, which officially launched its applications nationally today after a test period in San Francisco, New York and Los Angeles, said it uses input from users to figure out your tastes in dates, and helps refine how it connects singles with the right people for dates. The company says its uses user likes and dislikes on dates, learns from that, and presents you with potential matches of other people. The app then helps suggests local locations via Yelp, based on those similarities in interests and helps schedule dates for users.

What has the Economist got in common with Good Housekeeping, Hello! and Slimming World? They're all selling comfortably more than they were a year ago. The Economist sold 210,204 in the UK alone (on the latest ABC six-monthly figures) and 1,473,939 worldwide – up 11% and 3.9% respectively.
Perhaps it's natural to concentrate on the audits of doom when life grows crunchy: there's FHM down 26% and OK! losing 17.4% in 12 months. And there are, indeed, more downs than ups. But there's also a lot of life in the sector as a whole. And when you add in, as you should, the very professional magazines supermarkets give away free – half a million extra at Asda, 140,000 extra at Morrisons – the old business of words on paper doesn't look quite so outmoded any longer.
Come to think of it, the January ABCs for quality national dailies respond well to the same treatment. In January 2010, across the British Isles and Ireland, the qualities sold 2,180,480 on an average day. January 2011 made that 2,184,766: a rise, not a fall.
Of course that's only one way of punching the figures around. You can find other, suicide-inducing, ways whenever you like. But hang on to those Economist results, and to a 4% jump in sales of The Week as well. If this is death, there seems a lot of life in it.
■ Take a new magazine called Delayed Gratification from an outfit called the Slow Journalism Company and you might expect honed design, relaxed writing and an almanac approach to the passing years (edition one, October-December 2010, is out in February 2011). Congratulations to Marcus Webb and his team for killing deadlines stone dead. There's only one snag with abolishing deadlines: I was going to mention it last week, but something came up.

Streetfest: Bachman & Turner Brought It!!! [VIDEO]
Thanks for coming out and partying with us at this year's Downtown Streetfest. From all I saw, heard and read everyone had a great time feasting on the food, fun, fireworks, and music.
I'm Old School. I grew up and came of age to music from the '70's, so I was pretty psyched about watching Bachman & Turner on Saturday night. As far as I"m concerned, they rocked it! They busted out with all the AM Radio hits I know and love, from their opener "Roll on Down the Highway" to the show's encores, "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" and "Takin' Care of Business".
The 'oh wow' moment for me, though, was mid-way through when they played "Stayed Awake All Night". I loved it for two reasons: one, I had no idea BTO was the originator. All these years I thought it Krokus. And two, Bachman's use of a drum stick to play his guitar while adding a wa-wa effect, and then segueing into the distinctive sound of "American Woman" — the big hit from Bachman's other band, The Guess Who — was EPIC!
I loved it so much, I've included it in this post for those who missed it or loved it as much as I did and want to re-live the moment. I should note this video is NOT from Streetfest. It was recorded in Ontario in August of 2010, but is a note for note rendition of what we were treated to at Streetfest. (I have, however, included video of 'Hey You' that WAS shot at the Streetfest just underneath.) Enjoy! …

Associated Press
ORLANDO — Florida news organizations, including the Tampa Bay Times, are challenging the sealing of records related to the second-degree murder case against George Zimmerman in Trayvon Martin's shooting.
The news organizations filed a motion Monday in Circuit Court in Seminole County.
Zimmerman attorney Mark O'Mara asked for the records to be sealed last week, when his client was charged in the Feb. 26 killing of Martin, 17.
Zimmerman, 28, is pleading not guilty, saying he acted in self-defense.
No hearing date was set immediately.
Records such as police reports, autopsy reports and transcripts of witness interviews are normally public under Florida law.
Zimmerman's case doesn't meet the standards that are typically used to create an exemption to those laws, according to the motion filed by the news organizations.
Those standards allow the sealing of records if their public release would create an imminent threat to the administration of justice, if there are no alternatives for protecting a defendant's right to a fair trial and if closing the records protects the rights of the person being tried.
A spokeswoman for the special prosecutor in the case said her office was reviewing the media motion but had no immediate comment.

To qualify for the deal students will need to prove their academic credentials. In most cases, this means supplying and validating a .edu email address. (Source: microsoft.com)

Why geeks shall inherit the earth
04/11/2013 , 8:57 AM by LottaHaegg
Has the Darwinian theory of evolution run its course?
Could Geeks inherit the Earth in a fit (or unfit) of un-natural selection?
Mark Roeder, the author of "Unnatural Selection: Why the Geeks Will Inherit the Earth" joined Adam Spencer in conversation about why physical strength and strong alpha genes will no longer get you to the top of the food chain.

The Panthers added Mike Tolbert to DeAngelo Williams and Jonathan Stewart this offseason, giving Carolina three running backs who can get it done around the goal line. The thinking is that trio will subtract from Cam Newton 's total of rushing scores -- he had 14 last season. That may still be true, but the opportunity will still be there for Newton to rack up plenty of fantasy points on the ground. Head coach Ron Rivera told CBS Sports' Pat Kirwin on Tuesday that he will not be restricting Newton in the run game this season. He expects Newton to rush six or seven times per game and continue to be a threat in the red zone.
Fantasy Analysis:
Seven carries per game would average out to 112 carries for Newton, which is about one carry less per game than what he had last season. But there's no accounting for Newton's improvisation. He'll probably end up rushing 120 or more times this season. While I think 14 rushing TDs is really ambitious to repeat, 10 sounds reasonable to me. He's a clear top-5 fantasy QB.

Mark A. Drumbl
Mark Drumbl is the Class of 1975 Alumni Professor at Washington and Lee University, School of Law, where he also serves as Director of the University's Transnational Law Institute. He has held visiting appointments and has taught intensive courses at law schools world-wide, including Oxford University (University College), Université de Paris II (Panthéon-Assas), Free University of Amsterdam, University of Ottawa, Masaryk University, Trinity College-Dublin, University of Western Ontario, University of Melbourne, Monash University, Vanderbilt University, University of Sydney, and the University of Illinois.
Professor Drumbl's research and teaching interests include public international law, global environmental governance, international criminal law, post-conflict justice, and transnational legal process. His work has been relied upon by the Supreme Court of Canada, the United Kingdom High Court, United States Federal Court, and the Supreme Court of New York in recent decisions. In 2016, Professor Drumbl published articles that examine: (1) how U.S. judges rely on international materials in Alien Tort Statute litigation, (2) how law should approach victims who victimize others in periods of atrocity, (3) historical work that unpacks the contributions of the Supreme National Tribunal of Poland to the development of international criminal law, and (4) transnational justice.
In 2012, he published Reimagining Child Soldiers in International Law and Policy (Oxford University Press). This ground-breaking book challenges much of conventional wisdom when it comes to preventing child soldiering, meaningfully reintegrating child soldiers, and engaging with former child solders as vibrant contributors to post-conflict reconciliation. Drumbl suggests a number of reforms to international law and policy on this most topical issue. To date, this book has been reviewed in several venues: American Journal of International Law, Criminal Law and Philosophy, Global Governance, Social and Legal Studies, Canadian Yearbook of International Law, Melbourne Journal of International Law, Journal of the Philosophy of International Law, European Journal of International Law, British Yearbook of International Law, Political Studies Review, Chinese Journal of International Law, Lawfare blog, Think Africa Press, War Studies Publications, Journal of International Criminal Justice, African Journal of Legal Studies, and Human Rights Quarterly.
Professor Drumbl's first book, Atrocity, Punishment, and International Law (Cambridge University Press, 2007) has received critical acclaim. It rethinks -- in theory and in practice -- how individuals who perpetrate genocide and crimes against humanity should be punished. Atrocity, Punishment, and International Law received the 2007 Book of the Year Award by the International Association of Criminal Law (U.S. national section). In 2009, the book was recognized by the American Society of International Law as first runner-up (honorable mention) for the prestigious Certificate of Merit for Outstanding Contribution to Creative Scholarship. Reviews of Atrocity, Punishment, and International Law appear in the legal literature, including in , Ethics, the Journal of Conflict & Security Law, the International Community Law Review, the Buffalo Law Review, Jura Gentium, Michigan Law Review, the Journal of International Criminal Justice, the American Journal of International Law, the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, the Chinese Journal of International Law, the International Journal on World Peace, the International Journal of Transitional Justice, the Leiden Journal of International Law, the Melbourne Journal of International Law, Peace and Change, Human Rights Quarterly, and the N.Y.U. J. Int'l L. & Pol.; H-Net Book Review; with briefer reviews in the human rights and political science literature.
Professor Drumbl's articles have appeared in the NYU, Michigan, Northwestern, George Washington, Tulane, and North Carolina law reviews, a number of peer-review journals, including Human Rights Quarterly, with shorter pieces in the American Journal of International Law and many other periodicals. Professor Drumbl also has authored chapters in edited volumes. He is a frequent presenter at academic symposia, conferences, invited endowed lectures, and workshops. His article Collective Violence and Individual Punishment: The Criminality of Mass Atrocity, 99 Nw. U. L. Rev. 539 (2005) received the Association of American Law Schools Outstanding Scholarly Papers Prize. His work on Rwanda has been reviewed as "exemplary" in its treatment of "the possibilities of the coexistence of victims and survivors within the same society after the event" by the Times Literary Supplement in its Learned Journals review.
Prior to entering law teaching, Professor Drumbl was judicial clerk to Justice Frank Iacobucci of the Supreme Court of Canada. His practice experience includes international arbitration, commercial litigation, and he was appointed co-counsel for the Canadian Chief-of-Defense-Staff before the Royal Commission investigating military wrongdoing in the UN Somalia Mission. In 2012, he was appointed to the Global Engagement Advisory Committee of the Association of American law Schools. Professor Drumbl has served as an expert in ATCA litigation in the U.S. federal courts (expert for the successful plaintiffs in Almog v. Arab Bank, 2007 WL 214433 (E.D.N.Y., 2007)) and in U.S. immigration court, as defense counsel in the Rwandan genocide trials, has consulted with various organizations, and has taught international law in Pakistan, Finland, Uganda, The Netherlands, Italy, and Brazil. Prior to joining Washington & Lee, he served on the faculties of Columbia University, School of Law, as Associate-in-Law, and the University of Arkansas-Little Rock.

Well, I'd been ill for about a month, losing weight before that though. Mom knew something wasn't right, but I think she can be pretty good at denial since I was still my old self for the most part, just a little bit thinner.
Eventually, after 3 weeks of being treated for anemia, an ultrasound was done. Uh oh, "cancer". A mass in my stomach is cancerous, and the lymphoma is also present in my spleen and my intestines. It's called large cell lymphoma and I'm being treated with the CHOP protocol. I'll keep you posted.

text: 000 FXUS63 KDVN 251736 AFDDVN Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Quad Cities IA IL 1236 PM CDT Sun Jun 25 2017 ...AVIATION UPDATE... .SYNOPSIS... Issued at 333 AM CDT Sun Jun 25 2017 06Z has a weak front/boundary running from lower Michigan into northern Missouri with high pressure over the northern Plains. Dew points were in the 40s across the northern Plains with 50s from the Great Lakes into the central Plains. && .SHORT TERM...(Today and Tonight) ISSUED AT 333 AM CDT Sun Jun 25 2017 Temperatures will continue to average below normal today and tonight. Quiet and dry conditions will be seen across the area through sunrise and during the morning hours. Attention then turns to the next upper level disturbance. The next upper level disturbance will move through the area during the afternoon and evening hours. Unlike yesterday, this disturbance is much weaker and the overall atmospheric moisture is lower. Additionally, there should be more diurnal cloud development which would limit overall heating. Shower activity looks to be quite spotty this afternoon with any activity dissipating prior to sunset. The area that appears to be favored for any rain is mainly the highway 20 corridor. Tonight, quiet and dry conditions will be seen during the evening across the area. After midnight, some models are attempting to generate nocturnal convection with an approaching upper level disturbance. The forcing from this disturbance is weak and the better moisture return is in western Iowa. Thus dry conditions should continue after midnight. Low temperatures then become a question of cloud cover. If clouds move in, it will not get as cold. IF the clouds hold off tonight, overnight lows may approach records. Refer to the climate section for specific numbers. .LONG TERM...(Monday through Saturday) ISSUED AT 333 AM CDT Sun Jun 25 2017 Will continue with small chances for showers Monday AM mainly southwest cwa with low amplitude impulse shuttled down in NW flow. However, trends have been weakening on vort max and magnitude of mid level theta-e advection, and given dry air may be mostly just mid clouds with sprinkles. Attendant surface trough will sag across cwa and likely serve as the focus for better chances of showers with isolated storms Monday PM south of I-80. Meanwhile, cyclonic flow and cold air aloft will also lead to at least a slight chance of showers across the northern cwa during the afternoon, with best chances looking to reside just north into WI in closer proximity to another shortwave trough. Bufr soundings show skinny CAPE with inverted V type profiles, with MUCAPE generally 200-300 J/kg thus isolated thunder with perhaps some gusty wind potential across the southern cwa. Otherwise, continued seasonably cool with highs in the upper 60s to lower 70s. Monday night through Tuesday, will see quiet conditions as high pressure builds across the region. Cool lows once again Monday night with upper 40s and lower 50s, although a few mid 40s possible in sheltered areas north. Weak southerly flow will develop Tuesday and begin the trend of modifying temps closer toward normal with highs from the mid 70s to near 80 degrees. Wednesday through Friday still is looking quite active with the potential for a few rounds of storms, as the region will be near wavering frontal zone on edge of main westerlies within strong thermal and moisture advection and heat dome to our southwest. This has the looks of a typical active June pattern with risk of strong/severe storms given stronger shear and instability, and heavy rain with very high PWATs of near 2 inches being progged by models. && .AVIATION...(For the 18Z TAFS through 18Z Monday Afternoon) ISSUED AT 1232 PM CDT Sun Jun 25 2017 VFR conditions to continue under partly cloudy to fair skies. Any cloud bases will be AOA 4K AGL. Northwest winds of 10 to 20+ MPH will diminish tonight to 5 to 10 MPH or less into Monday mid morning with some gusts to over 15 MPH by mid day. && .CLIMATE...
