I would say you limit yourself much more by taking mediocre skills like the Elixiergun. Thumper turret is dead weight in PvP situations. You get high might stacks with HGH and kit swapping with a Superior Rune of Battle. Not much sense in taking lots of blast finishers if you waste them all for getting might stacks (in contrast to the buffs Elixirs give you).
Well, I don't play sPvP or use the Elixir Gun. I don't use Thumper Turret in a PvP situation either.
Forgot for a moment that we're talking PvE here. Nevermind my rambling.
So it turns out that grenades are a lot more fun to use with fast-cast enabled! I now intend to switch to a not-quite-glass cannon grenade build (30/5/0/20/15, with a backpack regenerator in the alchemy tree to reduce my chances of dying instantly). I`ve also discovered that any engineer who doesn`t swap weapons and kits like mad is probably doing it wrong, given the amount of utility a spare elixir gun can have. Seriously, even if you ignore the rest of its skills, the super elixir (5) is worth it for the lifesaving healing it can provide.
So, what do the cool engineering kids do these days? I levelled one up early on but then barely played her at level 80 and took a 6 month break from the game so I haven't kept up with class changes. Now I've got a new engi and am enjoying it enough to consider her a second "main". I'm aiming to mainly do dungeons and other harder stuff on my mesmer and use my engineer for solo PvE and general arseing about, but I don't really know much about engineers and certainly don't have much clue about what's "optimal", so I figured seeking the opinions of the RPS hive intelligence might be a wise first step.
First off, general build stuff. As mentioned I'm aiming for this to mostly be a soloing character, so doing amazing damage takes a back seat to utility and having fun and I don't need a lot of group support, but I still like to be effective. At the moment I'm toying around with the grenade and bomb kits and using pistol/shield as my mainstay weapons (current build and loadout here). This seems to be working pretty well - making explosions happen and setting things on fire is fun (and in the game), perma-swiftness is handy for roaming around zones and the damage seems respectable. It also seems rather sturdy even in full rampager gear, though a lot of the defence comes from blind upkeep and things can go downhill awfully fast when I actually do take serious damage (also flippin' dredge).
I am wondering about some of the traits, most notably if I should drop the 10% explosion damage for reduced recharge on bombs and 'nades since most of my damage comes from conditions and it would let me keep even more blinds up. I'm also considering dropping the points in alchemy and putting them into tools for more damage traits and endurance regen. The pistol recharge trait feels pretty weak as well since I only have one in the main hand and rarely use the skills on cooldown. If someone can set me straight on what's best there I'd be very thankful.
I'm also unsure about gearing, the rampager stuff seems fine for damage but it does leave me rather vulnerable in some situations. Ideally I'd like to just craft a second set of more tanky gear to swap in when needed, but I don't know what to go for. Soldier, rabid, celestial or some magical combination? Then there's runes and sigils which I'm having a hard time deciding on. Currently using coral orbs (because they are cheap and easy) with precision and battle sigils and though I'm sure there are better options out there I can't tell what's best. When it comes to runes for a more defensive set of gear I'm really clueless so any input there would be appreciated.
Is condition duration worth considering? I've currently got the 30% from traits and adding another 20% to get extra ticks on bleed/poison/burning looks attractive, but seeing as most things die pretty fast while soloing and conditions are wonky in group events it's hard to judge how much use it would be. If it is worth it, what would be a good source to go for?
And last I'd quite like to try out WvW a bit more as it's a part of the game I've barely touched. What do engineers usually get up to in WvW? Any builds or other things that work well there that I should know of?
At this rate I am going to be declared the official RPS necromancer, but whatever:
For Skalpadda, I would recommend something along the lines of this, if you really want grenades (and considering the upcoming fastcast improvements it might not be a bad idea): http://gw2skills.net/editor/?fcAQJAq...qXER12bFRrGA-e
This is the grenade build that I have in mind, and it really does build for grenades. The bombs are redundant since you already have the nades that do basically the same thing, and the elixir`s toolbelt and #5 give a lot more survivability. I actually ran this for a while (still leveling, mind) and while your finger getting tired is a problem, the overall firepower can hopefully make up for it. The dual pistols are there to proc the crit sigils (BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD!) and look awesome, while the zerkers make sure you can actually crit in the first place, and the soldiers stuff helps with survivability.
condition is good if you use your elixir gun a lot like I tend to do (and grenades). If you want to solo I would recommend investing in the turret traits also as they save my bacon more than once when I solo stuff.Tweetiti, known in GW2 also as (ex Knickers) Burlesque Galore, Melons of Steel, Liltweetie, Tweet Manstalker and Tweetfanny Adams

My engi just hit 80. still trying to work out gear for him - advice seems to be either full zerk (Malawi); mix of zerk and soldier (epicthefail); rampager (the alternative to zerk in a link from malawi) or conditions (tweeti) so I'm a tad confused. Would be nice to get away from full zerk as that is what I run on warrior, guard, mes already, but need to work out when/where i'm going to run Engi to make a choice. Bought some soldiers karma armour (soldiers) and some zerky weapons (P/S) and a few accessories, but still need to make a few more tweaks.
What about WvW, what gear works there?GW2: Ohara Scarlett, Lord Carnelian, Ocharra Scarlett, Capita Mortuum, Lady Viridian, Lady Carnelian, Lord Viridian, Xen Adu, Hari Scarlett
For WvW you could go power-build bunker-ish (Soldier's) or full conditions (Rabid) or a hybrid of these with Carrion thrown into the mix. At any rate you'll want some toughness if you plan to run with the zerg. Roaming is different, and far more options are viable there.
For PvE you won't want to go full condition -- you'll sacrifice far too much in terms of direct damage. The grenade thread on GW2guru (which I assume is the one Malawi linked to) says, IIRC, that Rampager's doesn't sacrifice much in DPS over Berserker's, so that could be a nice alternative that makes use of the Engineer's huge potential to stack conditions.GW2: Saphnabylni & co.
You could run Assassin's with the build I posted if you know how to stack might (which you should), but I don't see the point of switching gear prefixes for variety's sake. It's just some numbers after all, and you take whichever are best for a given situation.
Also I wouldn't use Elixir Gun for anything but the blast finisher and condition removal. Its damage is abysmal and grenades are better in every way for conditions.

Yeah, was mulling over rampagers - might pick up a few pieces of that too while I make a decision. Wish that the affordable options (karma, WvW tokens) didnt end up soulbound and unsalvageable meaning that my indecision is costlyGW2: Ohara Scarlett, Lord Carnelian, Ocharra Scarlett, Capita Mortuum, Lady Viridian, Lady Carnelian, Lord Viridian, Xen Adu, Hari Scarlett
Worth noting that Runes of Perplexity are currently crazily OP for use with a WvW set, so might be worth looking at; however, I think it's been indicated that some kind of nerf is inc.GW2: Saphnabylni & co.
Cheers for the replies.
I've played my engineer an awful lot since my last post, read up and tested some things and made a couple of tweaks to the build and gear. Here's the loadout I'm currently using. I switch back and forth between Shrapnel and Forceful Explosions depending on whether I need the bomb radius or not, but if the leaked buffs to bomb range go through they'll be big enough that I won't need the trait which is great!
Still mostly Rampager gear but I got myself a Giver's shield and slotted in some Lyssa runes to get my bonus condi duration up to 50% which adds a few ticks to damaging conditions and makes debuffs stick around for longer. Full Lyssa runes aren't ideal for damage but when soloing the extra boons come in quite handy and the precision is useful for burst and getting weakness and bleeds up quickly.
For solo PvE this is the strongest build I've played in this game so far. Permanent swiftness and vigour are great for roaming, grenades and pistol make you strong at range and anything that gets close will walk into fire and smoke fields and get pelted with point-blank grenade spam. When soloing champs and veterans I can usually get 20+ stacks of weakness, 20-ish stacks of bleed and permanent burning and poison up while keeping blinds and slows (chill, glue bomb) going indefinitely. If things go badly I can turtle up with shield skills and the enormous potential healing from permanent regeneration and water field combos as well as bandages from the supply crate. If things really go south rocket boots are an instant escape (combo with regenerating mist for AoE healing sweetness).
The only significant weakness is not having any stun breaks (can of course switch one in when needed) and that damage takes a big hit in group content due to clashing conditions. Damage is still respectable though (plenty of power and precision) and wading in with the melee while spamming grenades and bombs is excellent support and fantastic for tagging groups of mobs - you can really shine in events like the Grenth temple defense. Wading into armies of mobs and exploding them is also a lot of fun.
The stun break only comes from a rifle, as for grenades they are good but my RSI doesn't really like them so I use them strategically only, specially in Lt Kohler's dungeon or in underwater fights. The Elixir gun has an awesome water field which not only heals but cures condition that you can aim anywhere and is really wide.Tweetiti, known in GW2 also as (ex Knickers) Burlesque Galore, Melons of Steel, Liltweetie, Tweet Manstalker and Tweetfanny Adams

It's a light field.
Right, yeah. For stun breaks use Thumper Turret or Elixir Gun toolbelts, since you can easily swap then in from Rocket Boots and both are more useful for might stacking (you can cancel the Elixir Gun 4 jump by dropping the bundle). That's about it.

What Tweet said, the elixir has amazing utility.
I don`t actually plan on using that build at lvl 80, just gave it as an example of an explosive build. I personally lean more towards the flamer and using its insane crits to proc sigils and traits left right and center. Plus, it`s really, really fun.
For groups sure, the elixir gun is pretty good as it's got AoE cleansing and a fair bit of healing over a full party but in solo play it just deals mediocre damage and does a bunch of things other skills do better. Super elixir is neat on paper but in reality if I want more healing I'd rather combo blasts with water fields and in that situation I don't want a light field getting in the way. The stun break is nice, but even there I usually opt for the thumper turret as it brings three blast finishers and some extra fire-and-forget damage.
Toss Elixir B: This skill now grants stability to allies, in addition to a random boon. Increased the base recharge to 30 seconds.Tweetiti, known in GW2 also as (ex Knickers) Burlesque Galore, Melons of Steel, Liltweetie, Tweet Manstalker and Tweetfanny Adams

Now that the new ground-target option is here, and with the flamer miss bug still not fixed, I am leaning back towards grenade spam. With that in mind, I plan to run with the build I posted a few posts above, except with sigils of Force and either Earth or Fire, because whoever came up with the sigil cooldown mechanics is apparently allergic to fun. Grenades are a lot more enjoyable to use once you hit lvl 60 and can unlock the grandmaster trait that gives an extra `nade and Stupendous Range (TM).

MAYPORT, Fla. - Researchers with the OCEARCH program who tagged and released a great white shark they caught off the coast of Mayport on Sunday say it was the first great white ever caught, studied, tagged and released in the southeastern United States.
"It was against all odds," said Brett McBride, co-captain of the M/V OCEARCH. "I mean, we were just out there putting in our time, freezing cold, just losing all faith that, 'Is there really even a shark anywhere close by?'"
Images: Great White caught off coast
"It's an enormous moment for science, and it's also a great moment for Jacksonville," said Chris Fischer, expedition leader and OCEARCH founder.
Fischer said now that researchers know great whites are in southern waters, it changes everything.
"We set out years ago to help the brightest scientists in the world get their hands on the ocean's giants so we could explode the body of knowledge forward," he said. "The fact of the matter is, these scientists have never been able to get their hands on a large, mature white shark before because they're just too big to handle. And because of that, we don't have the data to manage their future."
Researchers are hoping to learn where great white sharks breed and give birth so they can protect those areas.
"If there's no robust future for the sharks, there is no robust future for the ocean," Fischer said.
That's why OCEARCH is tagging the "lions of the ocean."
Researchers install a total of four electronic tracking devices on each shark. The main one is placed on the shark's fin, and every time the shark surfaces, it sends a signal to a satellite, which anyone can track on OCEARCH's website.
The other tags allow scientists and researchers to record light, depth temperature and movement. They have 15 minutes to mount the tags and collect blood samples and parasites off the shark to take back to the lab, and everyone on board has a job, including shark experts from the University of North Florida.
"We do the reproductive work, so that's just a key component that we can add, and that we're local and we have local knowledge of the water and where to go and where some of the sightings have been," UNF research biologist Mike McCallister said. "It's been a great opportunity for us and a good opportunity for the university."
It's also a great opportunity for science -- a historic moment. The rest is up to Lydia -- the shark tagged in local waters -- her track and the crew determined to stay on track to learn as much as they can about the ocean's giants.
"When you look around and you know that you've accomplished an impossible task with a group of people with the greatest tenacity of any explorers in history, and that euphoria that comes from that is something that's undescribable," Fischer said. "It is not an adrenaline rush. It is not fun. It's very stressful, and you feel great responsibility going through the process to make sure all the people and the sharks are looked after in the best way possible."

Gonsalves vs. Meadows doesn't live up to hype
CARY, N.C. -- The best matchup of the day came in the final game of Day One of the National High School Invitational, with Cathedral Catholic from California playing Grayson from Georgia. Scouts poured into the main stadium here specifically to watch Cathedral's Stephen Gonsalves pitch to Grayson's Austin Meadows.
It was an opportunity to see Meadows, a left-handed hitter ranked No. 3 on MLB.com's Top 50 Draft Prospects list, take some swings against the southpaw Gonsalves, who comes in at No. 27. In the end, scouts may have been a bit disappointed by the outcome.
Gonsalves, who has struggled with his command for much of the spring, hit Meadows the first time he faced him in the bottom of the first inning. Meadows came up again in the bottom of the second, with two runners on and two outs. This time, Gonsalves walked him on five pitches. The collective groan from the scouts in attendance after the first two plate appearances was nearly palpable.
There was more to see in plate appearance No. 3. Meadows, swinging a wooden bat, went the other way and flared a double to left-center. The center fielder went 1-for-2 with a run scored on a day that didn't go very well for his team. Cathedral Catholic won in a rout, 14-2.
Gonsalves got the win, going four innings and allowing two runs (one earned) on five hits and two walks while striking out five. He battled his overall command, especially with his secondary stuff, all afternoon. He threw his fastball right around 90 mph, touching 91 and 92 a time or two. His slow curve was around 70 mph and he threw the splitter he uses for an offspeed pitch in the 72-74 mph range. It wasn't as strong an evaluation opportunity as anticipated, but that doesn't mean there weren't any takeaways from the day's finale.
"There shouldn't be any question about Meadows handling left-handers," said one scout who's seen the Georgia outfielder other times against lesser competition. "He stayed in there against an above-average fastball."

A sociogram is a graphic representation of social links that a person has. Sociograms were developed by Jacob Moreno to analyze choices or preferences within a group.[1] They can diagram the structure and patterns of group interactions. A sociogram can be drawn on the basis of many different criteria: Social relations, channels of influence, lines of communication etc.
Those points on a sociogram who have many choices are called Stars. Those with few or no choices are called isolates. Individuals who choose each other are known to have made a Mutual Choice. One-Way Choice refers to individuals who choose someone but the choice is not reciprocated. Cliques are groups of three or more people within a larger who all choose each other (Mutual Choice).
Sociograms are the charts or tools used to find the Sociometry of a social space.
Under the Social Discipline Model, sociograms are sometimes used to reduce misbehavior in a classroom environment[2]. A sociogram is constructed after students answer a series of questions probing for affiliations with other classmates. The diagram can then be used to identify pathways for social acceptance for misbehaving students. In this context, the resulting sociograms are known as a friendship chart. Often, the most important person/thing is in a bigger bubble to everyone else. The size of the bubble represents the importance, with the biggest bubble meaning most important and the smallest representing the least important.

HUNDREDS of people attended a special service at Winchester Cathedral for Naomi House children's hospice.
The Light up a Life remembrance service last Tuesday (NOV26) was attended by some 550 people.
It offered everyone in the congregation a positive way to remember loved ones who have died and to celebrate their lives.
The poignant afternoon incorporated readings and hymns into the hour-long service and brought people together who were all showing their support for Naomi House. The congregation heard from parents whose children had passed away at Naomi House in previous years.
Following the speeches, Ollie Wade, 15, performed Free, a song personally composed and written in memory of his younger brother.
Attendees heard from Meridian News presenter Sarah Gomme, who opened and closed the service, as well as Naomi House chairman Khalid Aziz who spoke about the hospice's work.
Pupils from St Swithun's School made up the choir at the front of the cathedral and sang beautifully throughout.
At the front of the congregation sat the Dean, the Very Rev James Atwell, Canon Michael St. John-Channell, the Mayor and Mayoress of Winchester Councillor Frank and Ann Pearson, the chairman of the county council Andrew Joy and the High Sheriff of Hampshire Hallam Mills.
Paula Flower, In Memory Co-ordinator at Naomi House, said: "It was a delightful service and we are thrilled that so many supporters were able to attend. The service gave a wonderful opportunity to remember loved ones whilst supporting the vital work of Naomi House.
"We would particularly like thank the Dean for kindly allowing the service to take place".

Editors' note: Because of recent increased competition in the small-tablet space, we've lowered the Note 8's performance score from 8 to 7. The overall score was also lowered from 7.8 to 7.7. Its star rating is unaffected.
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8 is an 8-inch tablet that costs $399. In a world where the 7-inch Nexus 7 exists for $200 and even the 7.9-inch iPad Mini starts at $330 or lower, $399 is a tough sell. If you're looking for a simple small tablet, the Nexus 7 is still your best bet and the iPad Mini provides Apple's still unbeatable app ecosystem in a smaller, lighter, and cheaper package than the Note 8.
The Note 8 is arguably Samsung's best tablet yet, but depending on your experience with the company's offerings, the weight of such an acknowledgement will vary dramatically. If you're a stylus devotee that liked what you saw in the Note 10.1, you'll be happy to know that thanks to some software upgrades, the Note 8 integrates the stylus, or S Pen, in a smaller package with fewer seams and a more impressive screen. Still, if you're not an artist and have no interest in coming near a stylus anytime soon, go for one of the many cheaper options.
At $300, this would be an easy recommendation; however, the $400 price means you'll have to decide for yourself if the inclusion of the stylus and its integration into the OS is worth it to you.
Like the iPad Mini, the Note 8's larger-than-typical screen necessitates a wider body -- by about an inch -- than, say, the Nexus 7. So, depending on how you're holding the tablet, its more expansive frame may feel a bit awkward, especially if your hands are of the wee variety. The Note 8 feels to be made of the same stuff as the Note 10.1, with a bit more metal along its edges thrown in for durability's sake. Its corners are smoothly rounded, but its more corpulent profile yields a slightly heavier device than the iPad Mini; however, you'd probably have to be holding one in each hand to notice the difference.
|Tested spec

|Apple iPad Mini
|Google Nexus 7
|Amazon Kindle Fire HD 8.9
|Weight in pounds
|Width in inches (landscape)
|Height in inches
|Depth in inches
|Side bezel width in inches (landscape)
The Note 8's design isn't as simple or as elegant as the Mini's, but what it lacks in simplicity, it attempts to make up for in utility. On the bottom bezel sit three buttons: a menu key, home key, and the back key. Samsung has also added the ability to use the S Pen with the three buttons, something that was missing on the Note 2.
The 5-megapixel rear-facing camera is located directly in the top middle of the back, and although the placement feels natural when holding the camera in portrait, my fingers were constantly getting in the way of shots when holding it in landscape. The back button as well can be a nuisance with the tablet held this way. There were several times when trying to take a picture or playing Riptide GP that I accidentally hit it. As a result of these buttons, we get back a small percentage of screen real estate that would otherwise be occupied by the Android nav bar. I'm thankful to have this space back, but making accommodations for the physical buttons' placement will take some getting used to. Somewhat inverse to that, while the physical home button is a very welcome addition, its convex nature makes it difficult to press with the stylus.
The S Pen of course returns with its pressure sensitivity in tow and writing with it felt a lot less cumbersome here compared with on the 10.1-inch Note. Though of identical length, the S Pen has a smaller radius than the Note 10.1's, and thanks to its flatter design is even less likely to roll away. The grooved pen button is a bit smaller than before, making it less likely to elicit accidental presses. The tablet includes palm rejection tech; however, if the skin on the knife edge of your hand folds in just the right way, making a "point," the tablet will, much to my frustration, mistakenly believe you're trying to write with it and accept inputs from it.
The front-facing camera sits off to the top-right corner on the front. On the bottom edge are two speaker grills, a Micro-USB port, and a slot for the S Pen. On the right edge sits a microSD card slot with an IR blaster, volume rocker, and power/sleep button on the left edge. The top edge holds the headphone jack.
Software features
Since the release of the Note 10.1, Samsung has been working to improve the user experience in its Note family of tablets, adding software enhancements that probably should have been there from the get-go. The Note 8 reaps the benefit of the company's hindsight as it includes not only the additions we've seen added to the Note 10.1, but a few unique additions of its own.
The Note 8 ships with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and includes Samsung's TouchWiz UI skin. I personally have never had a problem with the colorful, somewhat Fisher-Price-ian look of the interface, but if you've never liked its more gaudy presentation, there's nothing new here that'll change your mind.
Samsung's multi-windows feature, which allows for two simultaneous apps to run on the screen, has been thankfully enhanced. A deeper pool of apps is now compatible, including Twitter, Facebook, and Chrome, and each window can be easily resized, Windows 8 style. The feature feels more at home here on the Note 8 with the S Pen compared with on the Note 10.1, where it's more difficult to hold the tablet in one hand and use the stylus in the other.
S Note gets some notable improvements as well, and the veil of inhospitable-ness that greeted me in the first version of the app has thankfully largely dissipated. The app now includes a brief text tutorial to make jumping in a bit less confusing, and the interface has been tweaked slightly -- you can now easily load a completely blank sheet of "paper" -- toward the same purpose. Icons now present their functionality much more clearly when tapping them and can be further clarified by the new AirView feature, which lets users hover the point of the S Pen over a menu option, which in turn displays a text bubble of each option's functionality.
Typing in a Web site URL, composing an e-mail, searching for an app in Google Play, or doing pretty much any action that would normally cause a software keyboard to pop up at the bottom on the screen, instead triggers a notepad to appear. And instead of pecking away at each letter with the pen, you can simply write your entry directly into the text field. However, this feature must be enabled within each app by holding down on the settings button on the software keyboard and selecting the "T" icon. The pen-to-text translation software still misinterprets from time to time, however, and could use some better prediction software. Still, once enabled, it's an incredibly useful feature that gives using the interface a nice flow when using the pen.
Reading mode is unique to the Note 8 and simply alters page backgrounds in e-book apps to look more like paper rather than a stark, white background. It also uses the ambient light sensor to adjust the brightness to best fit the environment you're reading in.
The Note 8 also comes with an exclusive version of Awesome Note HD. While the app has been available on iOS, the Note 8 is currently the only place you'll find it on Android. Not surprisingly, it's fully compatible with the S Pen. With a purchase of the Note 8, you also get 50GB of free space on Dropbox and a full version of Polaris Office.

The corn market suffered from a dearth of fresh news Thursday, with diminished export sales apparently remaining the dominant fundamental factor. Indeed, pragmatic considerations may become much more important to traders during the days ahead. For example, during the recent drop large speculators cut their long positions to their lowest level since June. Nearby futures are also approaching technically oversold levels. Moreover, the March contract is trading just above major support associated with the $6.83 1/2-$6.90 1/2 chart gap created over Independence Day. If bears cannot force nearby prices through that gap, the market could turn decisively higher. Conversely, the $7.00 level may emerge as significant resistance. March corn ended the day having slipped 2 1/4 cents to $6.91/bushel and December fell 3 1/4 cents to $5.96.
Soybean futures were seemingly boosted by concerns about Malaysian flooding and its impact upon the global vegetable oil market (e.g. palm and soybean oil) in Wednesday night trading. Talk of improving Chinese buying apparently supported the market as well, with traders responding well to sales announced the day before. However, comments by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid indicating no deal on the so-called U.S. fiscal cliff undercut the equity markets and boosted the dollar. Neither of those developments is helpful for the agricultural markets, since they imply reduced demand from domestic and international customers, respectively. Finally, the legume market may have suffered from news that Argentine plantings have not suffered from excessive moisture in recent weeks, since Chicago traders were expecting significant reductions. January beans settled 5 1/4 cents to $14.19 1/4 per bushel, whereas January soyoil rose 0.16 cents to 48.45 cents/pound and January meal sank $1.1 to $430.2/ton.
The wheat market also continued losing ground Thursday morning, with traders concentrating upon the slowness of recent export sales. Many in the industry view U.S. wheat as being the cheapest on the global stage, so the limited movement seems to be suggesting golden grain values will have to decline around the world. Disappointing financial market action is not helping wheat prospects either. Bulls cannot be happy with futures lack of response to the persistent drought over the Southern Plains either, since lack of moisture could substantially reduce 2012-13 grain production. March CBOT wheat slid 2 1/2 cents to $7.72/bushel Thursday, while March KCBT wheat edged 1/2 cent lower to $8.24 and March MGE futures tumbled 5 cents to $8.64.
Financial market developments seem to affect cattle futures with surprising frequency, particularly when traders see U.S. dollar and equity indexes diverging. For example, the combination of greenback strength and tumbling stock prices, as seen Thursday, usually translates into reduced export and domestic demand, respectively, for American products. Thus, it was not terribly surprising to see cattle leading the livestock complex lower this morning. Flat midday beef quotes didn't help the situation, since packer margins remain deep in the red. On the other hand, bulls may get a fresh boost after country cattle began trading around 127 cents/pound, which represents a 1.0 cent rise from last week. February live cattle futures fell 0.72 cents, to 133.05 and its April counterpart slumped 0.37 cents to 136.72 cents/pound.
The hog market also seemed unable to overcome the negative economic implications of the Thursday combination of dollar strength and equity index losses, although they posted a substantial rebound later in the CME session. Anticipation of late-year cash and wholesale weakness may be undercutting Chicago hog prices at this point, especially with pork loin values repeating their recent pattern of flattening out during the year-end holiday season. The industry should probably expect a great deal of book-squaring Friday, since the end of the year is looming and the quarterly USDA Hogs & Pigs report will be released at 2:00 PM CST. February hogs tumbled 0.42 cents to 87.02 cents/pound Thursday, while the June contract dropped 0.50 cents to 100.15.
After marching steadily higher in recent weeks, cotton futures reached a major high Thursday morning. However, industry concerns about the negative impact of going over the fiscal cliff apparently undercut the white fiber market, since the implied increase in taxes might easily cause consumers to curtail their apparel purchases in early 2013. The resulting price drop was probably exaggerated when the March contract violated technical support associated with its 10 and 200 day moving averages. The inability to sustain the Wednesday push above the 200-day MA may bode ill for the short-term outlook, especially since many fund managers like to clean up their books at the end of the calendar year. Conversely, the nearby contract climbed back above its 10-day MA, thereby implying considerable underlying support. March cotton ended the day 1.05 cents lower at 76.01, while December fell just 0.52 to 78.49 cents/pound.

Personally, glad PwnDev team joined the jb tool development process. Hopefully they gain insight into how Pod2g's code works and they can implement themselves a useable tool. But until further notice, I see no incentive to switch from Redsn0w, for myself. Just saying...
Has sn0wbreeze been updated yet for untethered jailbreak?? Only ask here as not seen any mention of it anywhere! Other wise I will stick as well!
How does someone figure out that its using Apple copyright code? Isnt all code just code? So if ******* develops a basic function and uses it in one of their products I cant use that same basic generic function cause Apple claimed it?
Redsn0w all the way!
It's about reliability not speed, redsn0w does the job and personally I would never have said it was slow anyway. Judging by what I have heard about acidsn0w it seems like a no brainer.
It's kinda funny because the same TOS that prevents whatever this dev team is from using apple's code is pretty clear about jail breaking as well. To the OP, are you really that upset that the people you talked to didn't show enough respect to you that you decided to write this hit piece? At least you're no longer the under the assumption that pod2g is in cdev. IIRC, the pwn dev team is very young.
All that being said, I doubt I'd bother with acid snow.
In regard to "Why would you make another one do the same thing?" Because they can, and they hope to soon bring something new to the table.
They cant contribute to redsn0w, its not open source.
Ac1dsn0w is a beta, its going to have bugs and errors. I personally have had no problems with jailbreaking iOS 5.0.1 on Beta 2. More will be added as development progress furthers. I personally thing the team has done a great job so far and they delivered on their promise, despite getting called fake countless times.
In the interest of moving the JB effort & community forward I'll give it a swing.

Orthopedic Surgery Seminars
Register to attend and take the first step to understanding your options.
Preparing for surgery? Watch online.
Questions? Call 623-580-5800
Shoulder pain is one of the most common reasons you might visit your physician's office. While many conditions don't require surgery, some do.
If you're experiencing chronic instability of the shoulder joint due to stretching, tearing or dislocation of the joint, stabilizing your shoulder and returning it to a good range of motion is key.
How the Shoulder Works
The shoulder joint is essentially a ball-and-socket joint. Because it depends on an elaborate array of muscles, tendons and ligaments, this joint is one of the most complex in the body.
The ball is on the top end of the humerus, the upper bone in your arm. The socket of the shoulder (glenoid), is part of the shoulder blade (scapula). At most, the glenoid only covers one third of the head of the humerus. To stabilize the joint, a rim of soft fibrous tissue called the labrum surrounds and deepens the socket. Supported by the muscles of the shoulder (the deltoid and rotator cuff muscles), the humerus moves and rotates within the socket, allowing you to raise and twist your arms.
The most common source of shoulder pain is arthritis — osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or traumatic arthritis. Rotator cuff tear arthropathy, a form that's unique to the shoulder, also can develop in the presence of a massive, irreparable rotator cuff tear.
Injuries and wear and tear also can cause pain.
Treatment Options
Your options depend on how much pain you're in, the source of the pain and how your shoulder is functioning. HonorHealth specialists will evaluate your condition and outline which options — nonsurgical and surgical — are best for you.
- Physical therapy.
- Medications.
- Lifestyle modifications.
- Shoulder replacement surgery, total and reverse.
- Rotator cuff surgery.
- Other conditions.

The Navy's San Diego-based Third Fleet will save more than $1.2 million by not sending ships to Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles fleet week celebrations this year.
And in San Diego -- where Navy warships line the bay every day -- the tradition of ship tours also will likely be scrapped this year.
The two-day Sea Festival last year at San Diego Naval Base -- which consisted mainly of tours of ships assigned to the base and some on-shore displays -- didn't require the Navy to spend anything extra, a base spokeswoman said.
But, Alexandra Squires of the civilian San Diego Fleet Week Foundation said her group felt the event did impact the base, and it cost roughly $100,000 for the foundation to support.
"As funding has become tighter in 2013, and that event has significant costs involved," it was put on hold, said Squires, who is the nonprofit foundation's executive director. "We would like to revisit it in future years."
Under the banner of public outreach, the Navy usually sends two or three San Diego-based warships to West Coast fleet weeks.
It costs money for fuel – for example, the round-trip bill for Seattle Seafair last year was $1.1 million, according to a Third Fleet spokeswoman. But the Navy says it would spend that fuel money on training, anyway.
So, the real savings of the cancellations is the cash the Navy would have spent on community outreach and logistics at a civilian port.
For Seattle last year, that cost was $727,000. For the Portland Rose Festival, it was $482,000. Cost for the Los Angeles Navy Days wasn't immediately available.
The Navy has scratched public outreach events in light of a $45 billion reduction in the 2013 Pentagon budget due to cuts known as sequestration.
The most prominent move was the cancellation of all 2013 Blue Angels flying team performances, announced last week.
The loss of the Blue Angels was a death blow to some U.S. air shows, such as the one at Oceana Naval Air Station.
The cancellation of Navy ship visits sunk Los Angeles Navy Days this year. San Francisco Fleet Week will be scaled back because of the loss of the Blue Angels and the warships.
In Seattle, Seafair will go on, with the civilian Patriots Jet Team filling in. Portland's Rose Festival will also continue.
In San Diego, the Miramar Air Show is still on for the Oct. 4 to 6 weekend. A spokesman said the Marine Corps' portion of the show will be larger than last year. The roster probably will also include at least one civilian performance team, Maj. Carl Redding said.
Squires at the nonprofit San Diego Fleet Week association said the nearly month-long celebration will have a limited scope this year.
Here's what is still planned:
Fleet Week/SDMAC Annual Breakfast, Sept. 18;
Fleet Week Enlisted Recognition Luncheon, Sept. 19;
Coronado Speed Festival, Sept. 21-22;
Fleet Week Football Classic, date to be determined.

Jeffe Kennedy and her husband love all kinds of getaways, from fun in the sun to sightseeing to shopping for local artwork to fill their home.
"I run out of vacation time every year," she said.
But that's no problem, since Kennedy's company offers a buy-sell vacation program that allows her to purchase an extra week of time every year.
"It's absolutely worth it to me to pay out of pocket for the extra time off," said Jeffe.
According to Payscale, a company that conducts job related research, the average American worker receives about two and a half weeks of vacation time each year. That's not enough for some, but too much for others. However, with buy-sell programs, also known as cafeteria plans, everyone gets what they need, according to an expert on employee benefits plans.
"I think employees like the flexibility of being able to decide how many days they want to take off," said Julie Stich with International Foundation of Employee Benefits Plans.
A recent survey found 14 percent of companies now allow employees to buy or sell their vacation days, through payroll deductions or credits. Building materials manufacturer USG Corporationis one company offering both options. Managers say it's a great way to build employee loyalty, especially in tough economic times.
"We get very, very positive feedback about vacation buy and sell. Flexibility in terms of how people work, where they work, when they work is very important to employees today," said Brian Cook with USG Corporation.
However, he says, the "buy" is much more popular than the "sell."
"About half of employees will buy a week of vacation each year. Only about 10 percent will sell a week," said Cook.
Some companies offer the third option of donating unused vacation time to charity.
"Employees who have extra days they can't use can give them back to the employer who converts that into a cash value and then writes a check in that amount to a charity," said Stich.
Other businesses offer the chance to donate to fellow workers.
"Another employee who may be suffering a personal crisis can tap that pool and have additional time off," said Stich.
As for Kennedy, she already has big plans for her extra vacation this year. She's planning an extended trip to Ireland.
"It's not much point in making the money if you can't use it to do something really interesting," she said.
When employees sell their unused vacation days back, they'll normally receive an extra paycheck, with all the usual deductions. However, companies can also offer them the option to contribute the cash to their 401K or profit-sharing plan instead.

THE LV= County Championship title - so the old sweats insist - is not won in April.
Maybe not, but a team can certainly put a pretty impressive marker down and that is just what Yorkshire's cricketers seem to be doing in their current match against Middlesex.
Stand-in skipper Joe Root and his players will go into the last two days of this game on 213-4 in their second innings, giving them a healthy lead of 268 with six second innings wickets intact.
Tight, incisive bowling saw Root's seamers take seven wickets for 59 runs in the morning session to hand their colleagues a 55-run first-innings lead.
Rarely willing to surrender such advantage, Adam Lyth and Alex Lees added 82 for the first wicket before Lees was bowled for 33 playing no shot at an Ollie Rayner off-spinner which did not turn.
Three overs later Lyth, having stroked a cultured 54, edged Steven Finn into the slips, where Rayner pouched an absurdly difficult one-handed chance with ridiculous ease. However, Lyth's dismissal only slowed Yorkshire's progress, it did not halt it.
In the evening session, Root and Kane Williamson added 97 for the third wicket and the presence of Gary Ballance at the wicket on day three will do nothing to bolster the battered confidence of the Middlesex side.
Root's strokeplay became increasingly more fluent and it was almost a surprise when he was beaten by a full length ball from Finn and trudged off with 63 runs against his name having been lbw to his England colleague for the second time in the match. Williamson had earlier been snaffled in the gully by Sam Robson off Finn for 37.
Yet as they reviewed the day's action Root and his colleagues will have paid tribute to the efforts of their seam attack who had wrested the advantage from Middlesex in the first session of play.
No one deserved more praise than Ryan Sidebottom, whose spell of 9-5-11-3 removed Neil Dexter, Joe Denly and Eoin Morgan, the latter for 33 to a quite superb two-handed second-slip catch by a leaping Lyth.
That left Middlesex on 83-6 and Liam Plunkett then removed the middle stumps of both John Simpson and Tim Murtagh for single figure scores.
Those dismissals sandwiched the departure of Ollie Rayner, who lost his off pole when he played down the wrong line to Jack Brooks, who finished with 3-47. Sidebottom's figures of 4-34 did him no less than justice.
A pretty perfect morning for Root and his men was completed on the stroke of lunch when Steven Finn meekly tapped Steve Patterson straight into the hands of Plunkett at short mid-off.
"We've bowled really well as a quartet since the start of the season," said Sidebottom. "We complement each other and we needed to get early wickets to put them under pressure.
"We got on a roll and that was good to see. Liam Plunkett's bowling really fast and I'm sure that England should take note of him. He's bowling really quickly and I wouldn't want to bat against him. He's getting wickets for the guys at the other end."

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 22/1/2013 (1671 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
The Manitoba government is getting better at reducing bureaucratic red tape for small businesses, but it's performance is still nothing to write home about, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business.
In its 2013 Red Tape Report Card released today, the small-business group gives the province a D-minus for its efforts to reform the regulatory burden on small businesses. That's an upgrade from the F it received in each of the previous two years.
"To date Manitoba has focused mainly on service delivery improvements, like making more information and reporting available online," said Janine Carmichael, CFIB's Manitoba director. "Those are certainly important steps forward. However, this Red Tape Report Card is grading regulatory accountability. That's where Manitoba is at the back of the pack."
The federation gave British Columbia the highest approval rating — an A — while Manitoba, Prince Edward Island, Northwest Territories and Yukon were all ranked at the bottom with D-minus grades.
The federal government showed the biggest improvement, the group said, earning a B-plus grade.
The CFIB released its Red Tape Report Card as part of its fourth annual Red Tape Awareness Week activities.

- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I have used this neck warmer all last winter. It is stylish and functional. I am a snowboarder and winters here in Idaho are cold! Although it is not wicking I have no complaints.
Great Purchase
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
- Size Bought: One Size
- Height: 5'10"
- Weight: 165lbs
I purchased this neck warmer on a whim and could not be happier with it. I am very familiar with the Coal Brand. It has done nothing but make me happy with every purchase. This neck warmer is large enough to fit under a winter jacket but large enough to keep me warm. I live in central Maine where the weather can drop to -30 wind chill. This neck warmer has kept me warm during many outside recess and all day snowshoeing adventures. The color of the picture in the item description matches the product exactly. This purchase was not a needed purchase but very much welcome.
A great neck warmer
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
It's a nice item to complete the Coal Frena beanie. It is large and can stretch. Could be too large for some, but I'm a big guy and I really love it. Breathable, yet pretty warm for those cold winter days up north in Canada. Would buy again.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
- Fit: True to size
This thing is no joke. The lady uses this on the colder days, but layers it with a thinner neck gator that can stay tight and fit under goggles and a helmet. This is perfect to tuck the face into while riding up a lift or just cruising around. It's not great as a technical piece of gear.
Really warm warmer of the neck
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Great looking piece of fabric. I am beginning to believe it is just a little to large for me me, but I have figured out a decent way to wear it so it is not completely obnoxious. Definitely a little too large for my girlfriend who is slightly tiny. Excellent quality material though and exceptionally warm while still allowing breathability. Would consider purchasing another if this one ever breaks down, although I don't think it will.
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
Awesome neck gator that keeps you warm, only problem is it is extremely bulky and heavy. It barley fits underneath my sweater/Jacket.
Warm, comfy, and versatile
- Familiarity: I've put it through the wringer
- Fit: True to size
I love how versatile this neck warmer is. I can use it around just my neck, pull it up to my cheeks, or pull it all the way over to keep my ears, forehead, and head warm.
Love the colors, love the comfiness, love the style.
Comfy and warm
I used this neck gaiter during a snowboarding trip in Whistler, B.C. This has been the most comfortable gaiter I've owned. It had a great fit and great feel. It's large and stretchy enough to pull all the way up to my goggles and has enough stiffness to actually stay up. It also fits nicely just slouched around the neck. Best part is that it dries incredibly fast so you don't get wet and cold. Love the lime green color as well!
Verrrrry thick material. I returned because of this.
Great for cold days
This is probably the best neck warmer i have used to date. it is more breathable than fleace and it doesnt freeze like a bandana would on a cold day. I have used it almost everyday this year and have had zero complaints or suggestions. the inside has a kind of elastic that keeps the neck warmer from moving all over the place, but is not tight enough that it would impeed your comfort.
it is a knitted neck warmer so yea, it does run thick but that doesnt take away from anything that this product has to offer.
yet another good product from Coal.
I dig
I didn't think it's too thick at all. It's perfect for those cold and/or snowy days. So breathable and good-looking. I really don't regret not getting the Nichols over this. I'm a frugal person though.
Highly recommended
I love my neck warmer! It is very comfortable and warm. I love that it is pretty long that I can pull it up over my face for wind and cold protection.
The colors are great and really pop. I purchased the fluorescent yellow color, which is more of a green than yellow.
Here is a pic of my friend and I wearing them.

very thick. try the Nichols, instead.
a little too thick to be comfortable. i like the other Coal product, Nichols, much better!
Review Title
super warm. great on pow days, kills it
Best Snow Accessory!
I love this thing! This is one of the best snowboarding accessories I've ever bought! Its incredibly warm, and has pretty long length. It was in the low twenties at Snoqualmie this last week and snowing, and this was warm enough to wear it with just a sweater hood and a regular cap on my head! I can pull it up past my ears and goggles if I wanted too and there would still be slack in neck area. Highly recommended!
I wear this snowboarding and it keeps me warm. It does its job!
Great warmer
I used it while snowboardin in the Alps with -25 degrees. It kept my neck warm and dry at the same time.
I couldn't resist without..
Hey I live in Europe (The Netherlands) and...
Hey I live in Europe (The Netherlands) and was wondering why this product is unavailable for me. When I want to order it, I get told this product is only for sale within the US. Could you explain this to me?

Celebrity Beauty Tips: Makeup for Redheads
Teenage Twi-Hards with blemishes are likely already on an antiaging skin care regimen, says Jeffrey Dover, MD, president of the American Society for Dermatologic Surgery and author of The Youth Equation: Take 10 Years Off Your Face: "Prescription retinoid creams were originally developed as acne treatments, but subsequently it was discovered that they also helped reverse sun damage and skin aging."
Prescription retinoids, which are vitamin A derivatives, work by exfoliating the top layer of skin and stimulating collagen production in the lower levels. Though in rare instances they can cause irritation, Dover says they work well—and quickly—with most skin types ("you'll see improved smoothness and brightness within weeks").
Since they increase sun sensitivity, Dover says to apply prescription retinoid products only before bedtime. In the morning, however, he says you can supplement your antiaging routine by using a moisturizer or serum that contains amino-peptides, botanicals, and/or growth factors (fruit cell extracts that mimic human embryonic stem cells).
Vitamins A and C are known for their steadfast plumping and brightening (Dover calls them the best of all the vitamins). But other antioxidants—think green tea and pomegranate—can be great antiaging allies too. Model Agyness Deyn sees esthetician Christine Chin twice a month for facial sessions, which culminate with a green tea mask. "It calms, hydrates, and repairs her skin," says Chin.

Great Case!
I love this case! The texture is smooth, soft, and durable. It stays clean and true to color. I wish there were more colors. I'd purchase one in every color.Read More
Really Pink
The iphone paraphenalia business is huge, so I know many people have many choices. This is a leather slip case for the iphone 4 and 4S. It's a good fit and the openings are exactly where they should be. The sound quality when talking on the phone or listening to the speakers is fine. I feel ambivalent with the product overall, but as this is my first iphone, I may not have found the perfect protection for the way that I use the phone. Overall, the pink is very pink. So if you're not of the girly variety, the pinkness may be detracting. The edges of the case frame the retina display all the way up to the useable edges. Thus, when you are typing or scooting items from one homepage to another, the case gets in the way and becomes slightly annoying. It's a trivial nuisance, but one which may be frustrating because you can't get the end letters of the QWERTY keyboard without effort or multiple attempts. The magnets have posed no problems for me and the phone, so far. The case is sturdy, well made and snugly fitted to the device. It doesn't seem any more bulky than other cases that I've observed. It serves the purposes that I need, but I believe this will be quite user dependent. I would recommend it, but people may be displeased with it because it does not fit their pattern of usage. And this can only be determined by trying it out.Read More
Very good looking, high quality case!
This was a pleasant surprise to me for the price listed. This covers the phone nicely without forcing it in, and has a good feel to it. I ordered several other cases at the same time, so I haven't used it yet, but will update this review if it doesn't work for me.Read More

Good flip phone case
This phone case was a good purchase for me. I like the pink color (although it may be a little "pepto" for some people). I enjoyed the fact that the leather fully covers the phone (especially the screen), and it has saved my phone from damage more than once. The ability to charge the phone while in the case is a little difficult, so some may not like this aspect of this case, but if you are a female looking for something that will protect and has a different look to it, this is a good case.Read More

Yes it will but I think it cuts a little of the screen on around the sides. Not much but enough to make texting an issue for me.

NHL executive: Another meeting with union planned
A long meeting between the NHL and Players' Association focused on the biggest issues dividing the sides in the ongoing labor dispute, and the sides expect to meet again Tuesday, league and union officials said Sunday.
Deputy commissioner Bill Daly and union special counsel Steve Fehr met Saturday at an undisclosed location, though no specifics were offered regarding the talks.
Before Saturday, owners and players were chiefly divided on the timetable for a 50/50 split of revenue and how to guarantee current player contracts.
The NHL and NHLPA had not met since Oct. 18, though discussions between Daly and Fehr resumed this past Wednesday.
"We had a series of meetings over the course of the day (Saturday) and had a good, frank discussion on the most important issues separating us," Daly said in a statement. "We plan to meet again early in the week."
Added Fehr, also in a statement: "I agree with what Bill said. Hopefully we can continue the dialogue, expand the group and make steady progress."
Those statements contained neither the pessimistic tone nor vitriol that had laced public comments from both parties in recent weeks.
The union conducted a conference call with its negotiation committee Sunday. Details of what was discussed were not available, but the negotiating committee and the executive board will hold a conference call Monday.
The lockout, enacted when the last labor expired Sept. 15, will hit Day 51 Monday.
The meeting Saturday occurred a day after the NHL canceled its signature regular-season event, the New Year's Day Winter Classic outdoor game.
About 26 percent of the schedule has been purged, though there is an expectation from the NHL and union that a legitimate season – possibly as many as 70 games – can go off if games begin in early December.
The NBA played 66 games last season after a similar lockout forced a Christmas Day start.
A normal NHL schedule consists of 82 games, but NHL commissioner Gary Bettman said last month a full season would only happen if games began this past Friday.
Neither Bettman nor union executive director Donald Fehr attended the meeting Saturday, and it is not known if they will be present for the next session. In their respective roles, Daly and Steve Fehr are tasked with drafting language of the next labor agreement.
Before Saturday, owners and players were chiefly divided on the timetable for a 50/50 split of revenue and how to guarantee current player contracts.
The NHL proposed an immediate 50/50 split of revenue Oct. 16, but the union contends only a gradual move toward that ratio will lead to honoring current contracts while not detracting from players' potential future earnings.
Multiple union offers, made Oct. 18, were rejected by the league because none mandated a 50/50 revenue split in Year 1 of the new labor agreement.
The last labor deal, agreed upon after the 2004-05 season was canceled because of a lockout, afforded players 57 percent of revenue. The league reported record $3.3 billion revenue last season, but Forbes Magazine recently reported that 18 of 30 clubs lost money.
The Penguins lost about $250,000 even though Consol Energy Center was filled to capacity for 41 regular-season home games and three playoff contests. The franchise bases its budget off at least four home playoff games, estimated to be worth between $1.5 and $2 million in revenue.
The Penguins' payroll exceeded the last salary cap ($64.4 million) because center Sidney Crosby was paid $9 million. His $8.7 million average annual salary was off the salary-cap ledger most of the season because Crosby missed 60 games with concussion symptoms. However, the Penguins still spent to within about $500,000 of the cap during Crosby's absence.

Couple killed in head-on collision on Route 2 in Preston
Preston — A Lebanon couple was killed in a head-on collision Friday afternoon on Route 2 near the intersection of Hewitt Road.
Mildred Tyler, 63, and William Tyler, 64, both of 150 Scott Hill Road, Lebanon, died in a crash at about 5:30 p.m. after the car they were driving was hit by 57-year-old Thomas Flaherty of Willimantic. Flaherty was taken to The William W. Backus Hospital in Norwich, where he was treated for injuries that were not considered life-threatening, according to state police in Montville.
Flaherty was listed in fair condition at Backus Saturday evening.
Flaherty's 2010 GMC Sierra was traveling west on Route 2 when it crossed the solid double yellow line into the path of the Tylers' 2012 Honda CRV, police said. Both Tylers were trapped in the car, police said. Mildred Tyler, who was driving, died at the scene. William Tyler, the front seat passenger, was taken to Backus, where he later died. Police said both were wearing seat belts.
The accident is under investigation. Police are asking anyone with information to call Trooper Matthew Belz at Troop E in Montville at (860) 848-6511 ext. 5056.

Ring Day 2013
March 18th, 2013 |
Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) Ring Day has been one of most highly anticipated events of the student's college experience. This 91st year is no exception.
"I've been counting down the days until Ring Day since I saw the ceremony my freshman year," said Marguerite Frazier, equine business management major and junior class secretary. "To be able to take part in this tradition, following after 90 years worth of strong Woods women, is an incredible honor. I know that I truly will take the ring as a part of me - encircling not only my finger, but also my heart."
On March 23, 2013, 83 campus, Woods Online and graduate students will receive their Woods Ring in a powerfully moving ceremony. The ring is visible evidence of the tradition of academic excellence, personal growth and fortitude, which are the roots of The Woods. It is an enduring symbol that is far more than a piece of jewelry. It honors academic success and sacrifice, while demonstrating the pride and loyalty the students and alumnae/i share.
During the annual ceremony, President Dottie King, Ph.D., will present the unique onyx and gold ring to each student. With its distinctive design, only SMWC students and alumni have the privilege of wearing the ring. The oak leaves signify knowledge and the six acorns represent the founders of the College.
Learn more about The Ring.

HOUSTON - A Black History Month program at A Houston elementary school may have backfired after some parents complained that children were asked to sing a song with pro-President Barack Obama lyrics.
Isreal Palomo said his 8-year-old son took part in the program at HISD's Katherine Smith Elementary School earlier this week.
"I got nothing against him, but I didn't vote for him. I didn't see why they should be indoctrinated about President Obama," said Palomo.
The issue has been discussed nationally by conservative radio talk show hosts, who are urging parents to complain if their children's school offered similar programs.
Meanwhile, HISD released the following statement about the controversy on Friday:
"The song lyrics you received were used as part of an after-school PTO program celebrating Black History Month at Katherine Smith Elementary School. Students who participated had signed permission slips from their parents to participate in this after-school event. They danced to the music, but did not sing or otherwise recite the lyrics. Copies of the lyrics were given to the parents, but not the students. This program was organized by three first-year teachers, who mistakenly failed to get the principal's approval to distribute the song lyrics. After reviewing the lyrics, the principal agrees that some of the songs were overly political and should not have been included in the program. The teachers who coordinated the program have been reminded that materials such as this must receive prior approval by the principal in the future. The principal apologizes to those who may have been offended by some of the lyrics that were included in the PTO program."
However, other parents told KPRC Local 2 they had no problem with the song about President Obama.
"He's our president. I see nothing wrong with it," said one parent.
"I thought all the songs were positive," said another parent. "I'm just glad they did something for black history month."

Kevin Cooley: Elements
19 Oct, 2013 - 2 Feb, 2014
A Los Angeles-based photographer and video artist, Cooley's work thoughtfully investigates the ever-changing intersection between man and nature. Skyward is a ceiling projected video installation assuming the vantage point of a car passenger gazing at the sky above. This simple shift in perspective across familiar terrain offers the opportunity to take in a different landscape with details often overlooked in our everyday lives.
The second piece in the exhibition, Tow, was created during the artist's participation in the Arctic Circle Expeditionary Residency Program in 2011. This two-channel video portrays a lassoed fallen ice cap in tow behind a boat, allowing the viewer to witness the Arctic seascape from a first person point-of-view. The slow speed at which the greater landscape is revealed as the boat slowly tows the crackling, bobbing glacial fragment allows us to better see this enveloping environment and creates a meditative experience.
Kevin Cooley, Tow

Costume Inspiration: Rent Real Costumes from Hit Hollywood Films + TV Shows!
Dressing up as Robert Baratheon from 'Game of Thrones' this Halloween? Why get a cheap knock-off costume when you could rent the real thing from Western Costume?
-Lucia Peters
Ever wished that you could steal a phenomenal costume from your favorite movie or television show and wear it for Halloween? If you live somewhere in the LA area, you can!
The costume house known as Western Costume has serviced the entertainment industry for a solid century. They also, however have thousands of costumes that have been used in major motion pictures available for anyone to rent for Halloween. How's that for awesome?
Christina Munoz, who has run the Western Costume rental department for eight years, recently told the Hollywood Reporter, "Movies definitely inspire Halloween costumes. All of our stuff has been and is still being used in the movies, and they look so real. Sometimes the costumes are aged so they have that authentic look. It's not like a costume from a plastic package."
Read Costume Inspiration: 10 Creative Halloween Costumes Snatched from the Stars
Some things, however, are off limits. "I can't rent military, firemen, policemen, or postal workers," Christina said. "Our costumes look too real. That's just asking for trouble and then we're liable. We have special permission from the military to use their uniforms in movies such as The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty." You won't find anything from the Showtime hit The Borgias, either; as Christina put it, "We don't do religious. We don't want to offend people. We have monks' costumes, but we can't do the Pope. You just have to be careful."
Want a peek at a few of the costumes available? Here you go!
