Too often, we are mistaken for druidic types. perhaps that's true for some shaman, but do not let yourself be plagued by the ignorant belief that we are always peaceful.
Nothing about what I do is harmonious. I command the elements to my will. There is nothing offered in return. I would have it no other way.
Never assume an ogre's stupid, that's when they'll get you.
If it's cross-faction grouping that will be pretty weird. I don't think a lot of people would really be bothered by it either as most people aren't really paying attention to the group anyways but rather every shiny thing that sits before them.

Where do I get my numbers from? All through LK, Cata and MoP we have websites like guildox and wowprogress tracking raid activity and that is where it is at: 38 000 guilds are 1/16 normal.... - and rading was definitely more exclusive in TBC than it is now.
So..relive old memories or see those places for the first time?
I think it will be a queue system for Arena and a queue system for old raids that match up people and scale it to their ilvl.
Even though it's not new content per se, I'd guess a mentoring system for dungeons of some sort. It would open up all leveling dungeons to be re-played. Rewards could include VP and/or goodie bags to be attractive for everyone. At the end of expansions it's usually popular to start leveling up alts, so it would fit well with that.
Your #1 has potential, but for a different reason than challenge alone. A while ago, there was a blue post which went something to the effect of;
If they were to update old raids, the only way I could see them justifying was to update old gear cosmetically for the purposes of transmogrification. If they made the gear equal to, or in the proximity of, current gear, in terms of stats, then people would inevitably feel forced to do it.Originally Posted by Blizzard Entertainment
#2 and #3 I feel unsure of, but I think that in any case it won't be any of those things. Cross-faction things I can't help but feel would be unlikely too, but naturally possible.
I want my OLd school AV, A massiv BG, where you just have to kill and loot enemys to activate certain powers or events(like the riders, acicent gods or the flying unit in the middel field)
I want my god damn player housing, Yes i got a farm, but i want my house, make certain achivments(have to be easy, so soloable) for certain look items and other cool items from Factions
And dance studio, not like they said they would maby added it in TBC, and said they would most certain add it in WOLK...
(i am 20 and dyslexic so yes i suck at spelling)
I don't think that they will suddenly add "a lot of new content". It has to be existing content that you cannot access right now. Like cross-faction quests.The unannounced feature will be in the last patch of the expansion and give players a lot of new content to play with.
I would LOVE to see Guild Housing. That would make my year. Every proper MMO should have some type of Guild Housing.
A WoW RMAH. Calling it. :3
"The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, 'You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I'm just not close enough to get the job done.'" - George Carlin
Why are people not reading this part? Lol. Transmogrifying legendaries, RMAH, etc etc don't fall under "new content to play with".The unannounced feature will be in the last patch of the expansion and give players a lot of new content to play with.

Led by a strong jump in single-family production, nationwide housing starts inched up 0.2 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 1.206 million units in July, according to newly released data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Commerce Department. This is the highest level since October 2007.
Single-family starts rose 12.8 percent to a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 782,000 units after an upwardly revised June reading while multifamily production fell 17 percent to 424,000 units.
"Our builders are reporting more confidence in the market, and are stepping up production of single-family homes as a result," said NAHB Chairman Tom Woods, a home builder from Blue Springs, Mo. "However, builders are still reporting problems accessing land and labor."
"This month's drop in the more volatile multifamily side is a return to trend after an unusually high June," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "While multifamily production has fully recovered from the downturn, single-family starts are improving at a slow and sometimes intermittent rate as consumer confidence gradually rebounds. Continued job and economic growth will keep single-family housing moving forward."
Regionally in July, combined single- and multifamily starts rose by 20.1 percent in the Midwest and 7.7 percent in the South. The Northeast and West posted respective losses of 27.5 percent and 3.1 percent.
After several months of permit gains, overall permits fell 16.3 percent in July. Single-family permits dipped 1.9 percent to a rate of 679,000 while multifamily permits dropped 31.8 percent to 440,000.
All four regions posted permit losses in June. The Northeast, Midwest, South and West posted respective drops of 60.2 percent, 4.6 percent, 1.7 percent and 9.9 percent.

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 12/3/2009 (3081 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Cory McCaughan was originally found guilty of dangerous driving causing death and given a two-year conditional sentence for the July 2004 incident near Anola, about 30 kilometres east of Winnipeg.
Christine Bruinson Dourma, 38, suffered massive head trauma after hopping onto the side of the moving rig, apparently in an attempt to get McCaughan to continue talking with her.
The Court of Appeal ruled Thursday that McCaughan was wrongly convicted by a judge who erroneously found his driving to be a "marked departure from the normal standard of care." The court overturned his conviction and replaced it with an acquittal, rather than ordering a new trial.
McCaughan had told police he saw Dourma dangling from the side of the truck but kept driving until she disappeared from sight and fell under his wheels. He believed she had already returned to her own vehicle. Witnesses told court an enraged McCaughan left his rig and began screaming at the body of Dourma.
The victim's father, Charles Bruinson, said McCaughan called his nearby home moments later. McCaughan spoke with Dourma's 10-year-old daughter, telling her he'd just "run over your mom." Bruinson and the girl rushed to find Dourma dead on the ground.
The family had gathered that evening to celebrate Bruinson's birthday. The party turned sour when McCaughan and Dourma began arguing. McCaughan wanted Dourma to accompany him the next day while driving in his truck because he had to work. Dourma didn't want to go, choosing instead to go to the beach, according to her father. McCaughan stormed out of the home, and Dourma followed.
Queen's Bench Justice Daniel Kennedy ruled at trial last year that McCaughan had been reckless in failing to notice Dourma. He acquitted McCaughan of the more serious charge of criminal negligence causing death, saying he believed the case involved a "momentary lapse" of judgment.
Both the Crown and defence filed appeals of Kennedy's decision.
The Crown argued he should have been convicted of the more serious negligence charge and that his sentence was too lenient. The Crown sought up to four years in custody for McCaughan, citing the facts of the killing and his violent criminal past.
Prosecutor Ami Kotler called evidence of a similar incident involving McCaughan and his second wife several months before Dourma died. The woman told court he tried to run her down with his semi-trailer following an argument. McCaughan was originally charged with assault, but the case was dropped once he agreed to have no contact with her.
McCaughan's first marriage had also ended badly, court was told. He was embroiled in a property dispute with the woman and torched the family home. He was later convicted of arson.
Defence lawyer Mark Wasyliw argued that Dourma's death was a tragic accident, not a criminal offence.
"The accused believed that the deceased had returned to her vehicle and that there was no longer any risk to the deceased if he exited the lot. The trial judge ought to have accepted that belief because he found that it was not dangerous for the accused to have driven forward to leave the parking lot," Appeal Court Justice Alan MacInnes wrote in Thursday's decision.
"Had the trial judge considered the accused's state of mind he could not, in my view, have found the momentary lapse constituted a marked departure from the norm."

What could be a more likely vehicle for hands-across-the-aisle harmony, especially between the two U.S. senators from Louisiana, than the Bipartisan Sportsmen's Act of 2014?
The bill, drawn up by U.S. Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., truly was bipartisan — at least, to begin with — with 19 Democrats and 26 Republicans signing on as cosponsors. The list included both Louisiana senators, Democrat Mary Landrieu and Republican David Vitter — and the two of them come from a state called the Sportsman's Paradise!
But no — 'twas not to be.
When the bill came to the U.S. Senate floor last week, it died like a fish shot in a barrel, the victim of election-year politics and bitter partisan squabbling. Landrieu voted to keep the bill alive; Vitter voted to put it down.
Really, though, the outcome should not have come as a surprise: It was, in the famous saying attributed to Yogi Berra, déjà vu all over again. The same script played out on May 12, in a similar procedural vote on an energy efficiency bill that came out of the House with broad bipartisan support. That bill got hamstrung by disputes over the Keystone pipeline; the sportsmen's bill collapsed in disagreements over gun laws.The bigger picture, though, is the struggle for control of the U.S. Senate. Republicans decry the dictatorial rule of the current leader of the Democratic majority, Harry Reid, of Nevada. But a swing of six seats in the fall elections will put the Republicans in charge. They've targeted several incumbent Democrats facing tough re-election challenges, including Hagan and Landrieu.
Hagan's bill, which could give her an accomplishment to point to in her campaign, basically was designed to open federal lands to more hunting and fishing.
Landrieu hoped to add a couple of amendments: one restoring to hunters the right to use dogs to pursue deer in the Kisatchie National Forest in central Louisiana and the other transferring regulation of the red snapper fishery in the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf states from the federal government, which has cut the season to less than a dozen days.
Vitter was ready with a similar red snapper amendment of his own, as well as another to shed more light on the deliberations of federal fishery management agencies.
But it turns out other senators wanted to amend the bill, too, even if their proposals had little to do with hunting or fishing. U.S. Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., moved to overturn a ban on assault weapons in the District of Columbia and to allow guns in post offices and other federal buildings. Other Republicans hoped to loosen other gun laws. Liberal Democrats countered with measures to restrict guns.
That changed the game. Votes on guns put moderate Democrats from red or purple states — such as Landrieu and Hagan — in difficult positions politically.
As majority leader, Reid decides what amendments can be offered on the floor. But his majority — 55 of the 100 seats — can't cut off a filibuster, which takes 60 votes. The fate of many bills rests on a vote to halt debate, and that was the case with Hagan's proposal. It fell well short, with 11 liberal Democrats joining 45 Republicans to kill it.
"This is an example of Republicans filibustering not one of our bills but their own bill," Reid said after the vote. "How about that? Twenty-six Republican cosponsors, and they filibustered their own bill."
The Republicans, he said, "can't agree among themselves what they want as amendments."
But that's not how Vitter sees it.
"It's very disappointing that Sen. Reid and his cohorts chose to politicize a popular, bipartisan bill by blocking every Republican amendment — even amendments to better protect and enhance fish and wildlife, wetlands, recreational hunting access and strengthen our Second Amendment rights," Vitter said in a prepared statement.
"We may not agree on everything," Landrieu said in a statement, "but we should not let that stop us from passing common-sense legislation that has strong support from both parties and provides more opportunities in the Sportsman's Paradise for hunters, anglers and folks that want to enjoy Louisiana's outdoors."

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
I have a 2009 Honda Accord with less than 10,000 miles on it. I was involved in an accident in December, 2009 with someone who ran a stop sign. His insurance company accepted 100% liability. This insurance company has been very difficult to deal with. The car has been repaired and the cost was about $8500.00. I believe the value of my car is much less now than it would be, had it not been excessively damaged in this crash. I would like to file a claim against his Insurance company to recoup the loss.
Your going to need an expert to testify to the lose of value. Unfortunately, getting someone qualified to testify about the value of your vehicle can be tough and expensive. The law doesn't allow you to recoup the experts fees. So you have to weigh the loss of value vs. expert fees. On most vehicles it isn't worth it. Good luckAsk a similar question
To reiterate what Lance said, you will need an expert to provide an opinion on the diminished value. In the metroplex, there are several companies that will provide a detailed report for around $350. I suspect that there are similar services in either Lubbock or Amarillo.
In your case, with a new car, I would think it would be money well spent if you have an attorney lined up to handle the case or if you feel comfortable pursuing the matter on your own. You can file the case in small claims court if your damages are $10,000 or less. Good LuckAsk a similar question
I think the previous responses are right on point. You need to weigh the cost of further pursuit against your likelihood of recovery. To fully investigate this, I suggest you contact someone who is an expert in this area of diminished value evaluations to determine what the cost of getting an expert involved in your case would be versus what your actual diminished value claim may be worth. I suggest you consider Googling "Texas diminished value appraisal" and you should find a number of potential appraisal options. With a good report from a trusted appraisal service, you may be able to get a better settlement.
Good luck!

It definitely makes me raise an eyebrow, but I'm still just not seeing how he sabotages. On the other hand, I don't really see him help the group. In my Mole Notes™, he's the most neutral of the remaining 5.
Well as for Mole actions by Tim I suppose this is harder to determine in some respects by the way challenges have been set up.I'll try give an overview hopefully without too much tunnel vision. I really do think these events are corroborated by facts as they were presented to us sofar in the series.
Episode 1:He found his own tube and helped William get another (without money or with -€500? - at any rate it seems helpful,but nothing was earned).He was (accidentally) paired up with the person having found the exemptions (Frits), so all he needed to dowas try to make it to the other side of the bridge to not earn them €1000. Which he did.Shooter would have been easier but this wasn't something he would have been in control of, in a sense.
Episode 2:The stairs, difficult to say who sabotaged what. Possibly Anne-Marie and William's answers led to the biggest discrepancy.One of them wasn't the Mole. Not sure why the Mole would want to arrive at the top of the stairs and draw attention to themselvesin that way when the challenge could have failed at any point.
The jeeps/writing challenge I think went wrong because of Liesbeth and Tim mainly.I've made an analysis of this so if you want to read it let me know. :-)Basically it boils down to there being an overlap between the courses of the two cars at the diagonal of the N in 'Viking'.Liesbeth screwed up the N bit (making it way too thin/short where it should have had an overlap - by accident this turned out tobe a readible N because the other car screwed up too ;-)).Tim then took over the wheels as far as we can tell and set in the lower part of the 'K'which they were supposed to make, way too early.The result was that the VI (made by the other car) were ok, the N was too (by both cars screwing up basically) but the rest was totallyunreadible because the lower half of the K and consequently all the rest of the car Liesbeth and Tim were in (Right car) was uncoordinated.
It's hard to tell who did what wrong here, and it was difficult to get this one anyway.But the Mole would have known that the N-overlap in particular would be a good point to screw things up. :)
The signalling challenge, not sure about that one. Tim let Dio screw it up here, where you would expect the Mole to try their harderst - but we don't know if the Mole knewthe outcome. Maybe he felt it was fine Dio looked suspicious..?? Not sure.
Episode 3:
- His boat mocks stuff up more than the other one it seems.He definitely didn't write down everything and his handwriting was difficult to read/ make out. Also his boat had a clear division of tasks. That seems to make sense at first sight, but it also makes sure people are focussingon their task and not looking at or meddling with what is being written down.
- The jokers/ money challenge:He gets money. Thing is, Frits already told him he would take jokers or if he took jokers, Frits would take money.Out of the two it would seem a more 'positive' thing to take money for a socalled contestant. That may have been an instant decision.Apart from that, as a Mole he would have had knowledge about that money potentially all disappearing or at least significantly diminished one episode later.
- Tim and William are the only ones considering to go into the tower.Liesbeth and Frits are keeping out mostly though we can hear Liesbeth in the background saying she doesn't want him to go in.He's sensing some hesitation with William and then says: So, do you think it's a trick/ double bluff and we should go in?Opposition was too strong though so he backed out. But Anne-Marie and Hadewych were both ademant for them not to go in, andLiesbeth was saying this too. (Question is did the Mole just go along with the mood or not? But Tim did go after the tourguide,and seemed to try to persuade William).Also Tim had th phone in his pocket but never even heard it till Hadewych pointed it out to him.He then wasn't clear about passing on the exact message until Marit made him.
Episode 4:
- He certainly wasn't very helpful in the bunker challenge. He did say it was Marit belonging to one sign (correctly),which tbh I found a little suspicious he came up with that out of the blue. But other than that no real contributions.
- In the diving/photo challenge he missed the first photo. Liesbeth corrected him otherwise this may have messed up theirorder. Also William commented on there being a long stretch without photos and both him and Frits mentioned that they never sawpicture #3. (the second bridal photo of Marits parents). That obviously messed up the order.Also neither Liesbeth nor Tim gave any information about the order, according to Marit.
Both Liesbeth and Tim may be accountable for this (since the first couple didn't seem to have this problem), but Liesbeth driftedoff at some point and also corrected Tim on the first picture which he claimed to be William's mother (which in fact was the second).
- Both Liesbeth and Tim (Frits now having been executed) seem to play a central role in the negotiations.Tim's position was slightly better because he had more information on how other people would vote being more towards the end.(Provided the Mole wasn't given inside information obviously). Still the main culprits seem to have been the people votingred, and one of them lied for sure.
Episode 5:
- Tim didn't take an active role in solving his puzzle. He first offered 40 but was corrected by Liesbeth and then gavethe right answer, 41. Nothing too remarkable.He went along with Hadewych searching for her answer on the plane. Both were satisfied with a wrong answer without askinganyone else to verify it (i.e. Torres instead of Walter, surname of Picasso's mistress).Either way several answers were wrong so all the Mole had to do is try to make it a mix of good and bad questions so the 'maximum possible (€300) wouldn't be obtained. Peanuts anyway.
- Tim didn't take any money or even jokers. It's kind of a mystery what he did in that western challenge. He did say something to Marit about her not taking jokers. Could be construed as contestantlike.He crossed on unlogical places (someone made an analysis but we can see him crossing the street right in the aiming-distance of Liesbeth too) - so chances of him getting shot were not so slim.( i.e. both contestants would be out of thegame and any money or anything they took was lost too..)
Tbh I think Liesbeth is way more a contestant here though. She never took the chance to take out Frits, so she allowedhim to potentially gather money there (all of it in fact €1500!). She must have seen him take it even because they crossedpaths. Also at some point when Frits came to one of the boxes the money had been taken.So either Liesbeth was carrying money but we never got to see it or she threw it away.But if she did the latter, then why keep Frits alive and not make sure he wouldn't gather any money..?
- In the city challenge in Almería, Tim is paired up with Anne-Marie who takes control over the walkie-talkie, and whohas been suspicious of him for a while. When they find their first clue about the 'Calle del Encuentro'he suggests not so share it with the others because there is'no point'. Anne-Marie does it anyway. Their route is clearly the shortest of both groups (someone marked it on google maps)and yet it takes them a very long time to make it to that spot when the others have already retrieved two clues.Anne-Marie comes up with the suggestion they need to go to the parallel street to what they were given.Tim basically is in no way constructive except at the moment when the challenge is won anyway and the other group arrives.Then suddenly he wants to point it out to them. ;-)
Episode 6:
- Tim aims badly ensuring he's in the aiming group rather than the exemption group.The exemption group makes no sense for the Mole to be in. It's a lot of hard work and you can bet your life two contestantswill be fighting hard for it anyway, since so much is at stake ;-).Plus being in the aiming group reduces the chances of success by 25%.Tim's aiming a lot lower than the others in the group (I can enclose a caption if you like) which is strange, becauseyou'd expect them to have more or less same angle ito estimation of distance. He may well have used his 'I suck at this' thing to discguise it so most of the other contestants won't notice.(Anne-Marie disqualified herself as the Mole finally to me here because why on earth hit that thing when you have the bestexcuse in the world not to..?)
- The Lighttower/generator challenge.Hard to tell what was sabotage but I think there's little doubt sabotage was going on.I think the Mole would prefer that to happen in the dark, since nobody can tell what they are doing.Obviously stuff went wrong in group #1, containing main suspect Liesbeth and Tim. We can't tell who did what,but at least partof the time they were separated from each other so one of those two must have screwed some stuff up it seems.
Hadewych doesn't seem to have any real influence in the game because she's on the walkie-talkie all the time (talking clearluas far as I can tell anyway) and very late on the field with lots of lights switched on so an easy target.The task was complex but if the Mole would want to be active (and tbh this seems an ideal challenge for the Mole to beactive in, invisibly..) that would seem far more likely in the first group(s), than the latter.(Especially since the latter ran into problems such as plugs in the wrong towers and cords being entangled..)
- Fish challenge:Ok the Mole could have just taken a back seat like Liesbeth did and tried to steer them in the wrong direction.Or the Mole could be aware that the third puzzle was the real deal. Again, this made me think of a challenge in Australian Mole 4.Confidence is built up first, so contestants think they can do it, since they now understand the puzzle.Even with less time and more restraints (2 beams out instead of 3).However the Mole would know there are two solutions. I think it's very strange Tim suddenly jumps to touch that beam(even if it is the right one), to make sure they accept the challenge (i.e. either 0 or €2000). He then starts talkinga lot about how he knows what it's going to be like (although he never seems to understand anything, doesn't understandriddles and doesn't like puzzles according to himself?), and then starts debating with William instead of trying to pushhis way through when he knew so clearly what was right apparently.The contrast in the two (immediately and decidedly walking over to touch it and the abandonning it again) is what Ifind very strange in this case. Liesbeth kept her distance that might seem suspicious too. Then again her reasoning did make sense to me for she isabout 'reason personified' in most cases...
I have some to add but I will wait for epi 7 to be subbed and finished. ;)

Unless Tim and Anne-Marie step it up and stop spreading their answers, she'll outlast the both of them.

There's a bit of a theory going on.Each year we get a kind of 'Meet the Mole' challenge, i.e a moment where the Mole could (theoretically) be discovered, if you pay attention.This moment could well have been it this year. Because we see Tim answering 'Liesbeth and Anne-Marie', to the question who's the Mole. (He is the only one we hear in answering that question).Yes it's consistent but if you think about it, it could also have been an answer to the question: Who else do you think will do the abseiling except for you? : Liesbeth and Anne-Marie (the two the Mole predicted correctly apart from himself in that case). ;-)Art says two interesting things on the bridge and later before the execution:

Someone came up with a hint on the Moleforum today that I think sounds very plausible (i.e. easily and undubitably linked to one person plus it makes sense with the pattern we see in the series).It turns out the Icelandic word for Time is 'tími'(pronounced as 'Tim' in fact).
When you consider all the references that have been made to time this series, I think that would make a good & plausible hint. :) a.o.:1. Many references to time (today, tomorrow, yesterday, now, in one hour etc) in the Mole tweets.2. An extra 10 minutes in episode 1 (for the first tim ever) where the clock was turned back from 3 to 2 hours. 3. Episode 2 being online one day earlier than it was aired (except for the execution - a one off according to the Avro network).4. The 'Persistence of Memory' painting by Dali where time/clocks are very prominent.
Personally I think this could well be 'the' hint we have been looking for, i.e. the one that is very easy and simple yet elegant to link to the Mole.It would make the 3-1=2 link stronger as well I think. :)- For Anne-Marie, people claim the fact that Art says 'jongens' (guys) a lot, which sounds like 'Jung is' (as in I Am (sign), Anne-Marie, I am the Mole).- For Hadewych I think someone mentioned she wore music-related earrings (??) (Mol is used as 'flat' or 'Bemolle' in music in Dutch).- Don't think I've seen any theories about hints relating to Liesbeth at least none that I recall.

The 345,000-volt electrical transmission project slated to cut through Ray County has those affected wanting more answers – and others wanting a fair market value for property easements.
In late June 2013, Midwest Transmission Project, in partnership with KCP&L and Omaha Power Public District, announced its final route for a 180-mile line that will run between Sibley and Nebraska City, Neb.
In Ray County, the line's route runs northeast from a KCP&L substation at Sibley to Highway 210 directly east of Orrick, then due north through Ray County – west of Richmond and east of Lawson.
The line will veer west and continue to a new substation south of Maryville and on to an existing substation south of Nebraska City.
The project is an electrical "interstate," as Derek Ward, supervisor of right-of-way, explained. Its purpose is to alleviate congestion in the metro area and allow for improved and reliable electrical power for the next 20 years for five million customers in nine states, according to KCP&L.
Cost of the transmission line project is $400 million.
It will require property easements, mostly 140 feet wide, to accommodate power cables that'll be strung on single or H-frame poles, depending on terrain.
Ray County commissioners, with aid from Congressman Emanuel Cleaver and Sen. Claire McCaskill's office, requested a meeting with KCP&L representatives to listen to landowners concerns Jan. 31 at Ray County Courthouse. State Rep. Joe Don McGaugh was also in attendance.

"It has come to my attention that Kim Pegula has taken a more aggressive role in daily operations of the Sabres over the past year. Apparently, she's not just making sure First Niagara Center looks spiffy for events, as it appeared when she arrived.
She's not making personnel moves or breaking down the power play, but I'm told she has a seat in hockey meetings and therefore has a say in hockey-related matters. If you're shaking your head over that nugget, you are not alone.".
I can't wait for the Kim Pegula vs. Tim Murray showdown. LOL

COPPERAS COVE — Police arrested a Copperas Cove man, believed to be suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, after he allegedly attacked a woman with a steak knife.
Samson Knight Fivecoat, 24, remained in Coryell County Jail on Tuesday. Justice of the Peace John Guinn arraigned him on a felony charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and a misdemeanor charge of unlawful restraint. Guinn set his bond at $18,500 for both charges.
According to the arrest affidavit, police responded to the 200 block of Lincoln Avenue.A woman told officers that Fivecoat was walking around with a knife and could hurt himself. The woman at the scene said Fivecoat was sitting on the porch drinking a beer when he walked inside the house with a steak knife in his hand, the affidavit stated. He then allegedly pushed her against the wall.
The woman told police Fivecoat placed the knife against her throat and said she was lying to him and he was going to kill her.
The victim then pushed the knife away from her, cutting her middle finger, the affidavit stated.
Before the police arrived, Fivecoat allegedly fled the scene but was later arrested.
Guinn also arraigned the following people in unrelated incidents:
Calin Teresa Chapman, 26, of Copperas Cove, on Monday on a charge of injury to a child. Guinn set her bond at $10,000. Champan allegedly bit a 4-year-old on the thigh, according to an arrest affidavit.
Matthew Lawrence Gillespi, 32, on Saturday on a charge of possession of a controlled substance less than 1 gram. Guinn set his bond at $3,000.
Timothy Vincent Johnson, 40, on Sunday on a charge of theft under $1,500 with two or more previous convictions and possession of a substance less than 1 gram. Guinn set his bond at $18,000.

Q. What plantings are permitted at the cemetery?
A. Contact the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery office at 914-631-0081 for information on what may be planted in your lot. Only a lot's owner may arrange for plantings or other memorials.
Q. How do I find information about family lots or trace genealogy?
A. Contact the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery office during office hours with inquiries on family lots or interment information on specific individuals. Inquiries regarding interments at the Old Dutch Burying Ground should be directed to The Reformed Church of the Tarrytowns, 914-631-4497. If you seek more detailed information for your family history, see our list of government agencies and non-government organizations.
Q. Where can I find a map of the cemetery?
A. You have two options. We offer free legal-sized, black-and white maps of our 90 acres—perfect for a short, self-guided tour to 8 major figures in the cemetery. Pick up a copy at the Sleepy Hollow Cemetery office during business hours. On weekends and holidays find free maps in literature boxes outside the cemetery office and at the cemetery's south gate adjacent to the Old Dutch Church. For a more detailed experience, purchase our enhanced map at the cemetery office, over the Internet from Sleepy Hollow Gifts, or at the Philipsburg Manor museum shop across the street from the cemetery's south gate.
Q. Are lots available in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery?
A. Yes, single and family lots are available, as are a few mausoleum sites. We also have crypts and niches in our community mausoleum.
Q. Is stone rubbing permitted in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery or the Old Dutch Burying Ground?
A. No, rubbing is not permitted in either location. Many of the oldest stones have fragile surfaces that are easily damaged by rubbing.
Q. May I take photographs?
A. Certainly. We ask only that you be respectful of funerals and those who are visiting loved-ones. Photography for publication or commercial use must be arranged in advance with cemetery superintendent Andrew Cupak, 914-631-0081.
Q. It looks like a walking trail and park border the cemetery. What are they and can I visit them?
A. Across the Pocantico River from the southern end of the cemetery is the village of Sleepy Hollow's Douglas Park. North and east are two New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation properties: Rockefeller State Park Preserve and the Old Croton Aqueduct State Historic Park. Maps of the Rockefeller Preserve are available on-line and at the park visitors center on Route 117. Maps of the aqueduct are available from Friends of the Old Croton Aqueduct and at local stores. If you park a vehicle within the cemetery grounds, keep in mind that our gates are closed and locked at 4:30 p.m.

Tom Cruise who portrayed the raunchy producer character in 'Tropic Thunder' has not been confirmed to reprise the role in the upcoming comedy, but he is on board to produce.
A Les Grossman movie is going to be made as said by Tom Cruise at the 2010 MTV Music Awards. On Wednesday, June 9, Paramount Pictures and MTV Films have announced that they are developing a movie focusing on the bald-headed, foul-mouthed moviemaker character played by Cruise in "Tropic Thunder".
The "Mission Impossible" actor is said to be in talks to portray Grossman but he has signed up to serve as producer alongside Ben Stiller and Stuart Comfeld of Red Hour Films. "Scott Pilgrim vs. the World" screenwriter Michael Bacall is tapped to write the screenplay for this untitled Les Grossman project, but no director mentioned on the press release which describes Grossman as if he is a real person.
"To quote my great friend Kirk Lazarus [Robert Downey Jr.'s character in 'Tropic Thunder'] , 'I don't read the script, the script reads me'," Grossman says about the film's plot. Stiller then adds, "Les Grossman's life story is an inspiring tale of the classic human struggle to achieve greatness against all odds. He has assured me he plans to, quote, 'F---ing kill the sh-- out of this movie and make 'Citizen f---ing Kane' look like a piece-of-crap home movie by the time we are done.' I am honored to be working with him."
Les Grossman first appeared in 2008 satire comedy "Tropic Thunder" produced by Ben Stiller. Cruise recently reprised the role for several promo videos of the 19th Annual MTV Movie Awards, in addition to making appearances during the June 6 ceremony itself.

Tbilisi, Georgia, July 24
By Nana Kirtzkhalia - Trend:
The current situation in Ukraine is very difficult. Regarding Georgia's internal issues, we should focus on our own interests, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said in the interview with Imedi TV channel.
"Georgia has opportunities for the relations with Russia to become more constructive," he said.
"I understand that the situation in Ukraine is very hard," he added. "We are unanimous on this issue. But regarding our issues, we must focus on our own interests."
"A successful and positive meeting has been recently held between Georgian Prime Minister's Special Representative Zurab Abashidze and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Grigory Karasin," Garibashvili added.
"Moreover, Russian and Georgian experts on the association agreement with the EU also met," he said.
He added that Georgia should continue the constructive dialogue in this direction.
Following mass demonstrations in support of the federalization of Ukraine in mid-April, the government started a special operation in the south-east of the country. Some 200 Ukrainian servicemen and law enforcement representatives were killed during this operation, according to the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine. More than 600 were injured.

Local briefs: Oct. 9, 2013
Local briefs: Oct. 9, 2013
R.I. attorney general warns of jury duty scam
Attorney General Peter F. Kilmartin is warning Rhode Islanders of a new scam in the area, where people are being threatened with imminent arrest for failure to appear for jury duty, and are offered the opportunity to "post bail" by paying a certain amount with a credit card.
The scam artist claims to be from a local county sheriff's office, has personal information about the individual, such as name and address, and appears to be calling from a phone number with a local area code.
Those who have been contacted report that the caller gets aggressive and threatening when questioned about the claims, often indicating they will be arriving at the home shortly to make the arrest.
Kilmartin is urging anyone who receives a similar phone call or threat to contact their local police to report the incident.
"While it is more likely than not this scam is being operated outside Rhode Island, the quickest way to stop it from spreading is to be aware of their tactics and inform law enforcement," Kilmartin said in a press release.

If you are reading this article and you have fewer than 20 stores, you are having an out-of-body experience. Why? Because you are dead.By David Allen
If you are reading this article and you have fewer than 20 stores, you are having an out-of-body experience. Why? Because you are dead.
According to the experts — and they seem to be every where I turn these days — no under-20-unit operator in our industry should be able to survive. That's right — if you haven't hit the big time by now, then you should sell out, close up, roll over and die. You are finished. You are inefficient and unable to handle the big-time competition. If 7-Eleven Inc. and the Big Oils haven't already done you in, then the supermarkets and hypermarkets of tomorrow surely will.
That kind of talk should depress the heck out of me. I opened my first store 18 years ago. I had always wanted to own my own business. So after undergraduate and graduate business school and some jobs that let me learn the business on someone else's nickel, I did it. I jumped into the wonderful world of being my own man — that is, after the banks, the customers and employees got through with me, which meant I usually saw my new baby girl, who was born the day I opened my business, only at breakfast and on Sunday.
When I started out in the convenience store industry, I was either too naive or too stupid to pay attention to a lot of the things that were going on at the time. Remember those days? 7-Eleven was king. They were going to build a new store on every corner and with their single-pick warehousing system and huge buying power, they were going to run all of us mom-and-pops right out of business. Then came the majors. They built huge gasoline and grocery facilities on every corner. It seemed at times they were selling fuel for less than many of us were paying for it at the rack.
What was the response of the mom-and-pop stores? As for me, I just worked even harder. Having served in a really large service business, I figured the one thing I could do was to add the personal touch — with my employees, my customers and my products.
I've learned there are some fundamental things customers look for in a convenience store. In addition to great customer service and the right price for gasoline, a critical factor is great location combined with great curb appeal. In addition to being located on the far corner at a traffic light, on the "going home" side of the road, you must have great landscaping and store design. The evidence shows that the quality of the box, not the appeal of the name brand, is the most critical part of a customer's decision to stop at a store.
And the competition? It is from competition, especially large chains and major oil companies that we learned about good customer service, card readers, multiple pump dispensers and a lot of other innovations. If it weren't for good competition we would still be selling ice, milk and bread in small stores in the middle of the block with Elvis rugs on the wall and incense on the front counter.
Besides, even chains with store counts in the thousands aren't so different from small operators. Just like us, at the end of the day they are trying to figure how to adjust their concepts to the ever-changing needs of their customer base, while at the same time tend to the more basic problems of hiring and firing. Both kinds of operators must control retail operations where employees handle more money in a single shift than they will see in months of payroll checks.
No matter how big you are, to your customer you are no better than that dirty restroom or that despicable cup of coffee, or the service from that employee who looks like he just graduated from Marilyn Manson charm school.
So where does this leave me? I am gonna keep on kicking. Zooms and I still have a few good years left And after that, there are lots of young folks who could probably do a better job if I would just get out of their way. But in the meantime, passion and a strong will to survive in today's business climate will take operators like me a long way.

Royal Oak - Three orphaned bear cubs that came to the Detroit Zoo from Alaska earlier this month are going to stay out of the public eye for the winter.
The zoo in the Detroit suburb of Royal Oak said Wednesday that officials have decided Mike, Thor and Boo should stay "denned up" as they would in the wild. The cubs will be in a private, off-exhibit area at least until early March.
Zoo officials say the 11-month-old cubs just want to eat and sleep -- typical for wild grizzly bears at this time of year.
The Detroit Zoo says the cubs were orphaned in October when their mother was killed. Alaska wildlife officials contacted the zoo after determining the cubs couldn't survive the winter on their own.

I'm seriously considering writing Vista Home 64-bit off and punching the money out for an OEM XP Pro 64-bit. Mostly, its the UAC and the DRM crap that irritate me (along with the hoggy nature of the OS).
But I think ya'll are misunderstanding me --- my ROSE Online is running fine now. It only needed "compatibility mode" OFF and "run as Admin" ON.
It was nines that was having trouble getting past gameguard. I was just curious about the product.

Ugh, and just when I got back to school... I'd really like to try this game out, since I've been interested in it for a while, but I can't afford to waste any more time than I already do on the computer. I might start playing it on the weekends, but that feels kind of like a waste...

So far, its been "not terrible" though the UAC is a piece of sh*t as far as being actually useful (mostly it just keeps anything nasty from running as admin but then.... I have other security tools that also do that). I can't quite convince it that once I tell it some executables are okay, it should stop whining at me everytime I start one of them. Mostly its laying in wait for the possibly imaginary DirectX10 games.....
Of course, there's not a lot of excuse for any game to need to run as admin either....
My work machine is running XP (it ran win2K til a mobo hardware failure and I had an extra copy of XP around) and I have a laptop I run win2K on. And I have a server and an old laptop I got in barter that both run Ubuntu.
Rose Online review update: this game is actually quite fun (if I smile more than half the time while playing, its fun). I have a fire mage in training (not quite lvl 20) and am deciding on character #2. They really make you feel bad about deleting a character, they sit there and bawl for like 24 hrs.
Found my first bugged quest (Lost Children, Cheney doesn't play) and, dammitall, why do these asian games not GET that people need an IGNORE feature if they aren't going to police the towns for script-chat-spammers selling gold warez? That seems to be a running problem in the last 3 games I've researched.
The music is snappy.. .but gets pretty old since each piece is zone-wide it seems. I may see if I can turn it off and run my own music without messing the audio up.
Not finding as much conversation as I thought based on the reports of "community" -- I have found 4 or 5 folks that actually chat, help out, and can make intelligible sentences. Mostly, the only problem children I've encountered are the "lead me by the nose and tell me everything and give me stuff for free" morons and there's only been a few of those. The only real annoyance is that people will ask legit questions and get totally ignored. *I* end up answering just so they don't think the zone is entirely sociopathic. I figure this atmosphere changes once you leave the total beginner/newb/testoffire zones though.
The initial spec trees seem fairly limited but I read there's more specialization further along. Since I'm trying muse (their oddly used word for magical/healing type girl, um, user)... it seems a bit odd Charm/charisma isn't more important and that STR is.... but so it goes.

2. I generally play my own music. No problems so far.
3. The number of people playing the game has shrunk considerably (I mean, if your servers barely hit "Normal" on the peak hours of the day...you know something has happened to the community) so the number of talkers (in the lower levels at least) has as well.
4. There is a lot of specialization later on. STR is only important to Staff Muses. Most Muses choose to go wand + magical item which renders STR useless. Charm, I believe, is only useful for Dealers who can influence the prices of a NPC (lower for what your buying, higher for what your selling) based on Charm and a passive skill they learn.

Okay.... it'd be nice if they'd announce over the system that it was going down instead of just jerking the plug without warning. That's something almost everyone does.

Got up for breakfast, thought I'd play a bit of ROSE.
..... the client can't find the website, gameguard can't find the update server.
Go to the forums .... web server can't connect. Go to the website... no response.
Did someone kick the Main Plug or something? I don't think I've seen such a total downage before.
ah well, I guess its Spore for breakfast.

Their website's up, and logging in seems normal.
If gameguard doesn't update, you might want to edit the 'hosts' file under:
Just delete the gameguard related lines, and it should fix it.
(Or you could simply delete the entire file, but there are more risks involved...)

Nah... it just seems that when they took their server down they also took their website services down. Taking the web server completely down along with the game server is just a bizarre way to do things. I was out of town and missed seeing the extended maintenance notice before it happened.
Aye, both the web server and the game server are up now. I was considering getting some item mall points. Note, the Paypal connection uses https (as it should) ... but it doesn't appear the credit card pay option ever uses https. They may have secure elements on the page but that really isn't a very cool way to handle credit card data.
I used the paypal option and filed a nit with them about the credit card option not showing as https or encrypted.

So far, after testing ROSE for the last couple of weeks:
1) Their chat tool is annoying. I'm constantly sending types to the wrong channel. (on the other hand, AoC's chat tool was almost as broken)
2) The early level quests involve far too much "out and back" ... don't send me out for 50 animal skins and THEN say... "oh I need 10 skulls too". That's a lame timesink method. Its easier to disguise that with chained questing from multiple NPCs.
3) Lack of in-game reporting, lack of system messages warning of shutdowns.
4) Paypal takes 3 days to credit for item mall points but their credit card webpages don't show as encrypted (HTTPS).
5) Lack of facial expressions with emotes really is disappointing from a social standpoint. It just looks very strange to be "crying" with that fixed expression while the body wails about.
1) The graphics are delightful and don't wreak havoc with older systems.
2) The class/skill systems aren't groundbreaking but aren't a messy stew either.
3) The storyline quest and the graphics combine to give a rather nice "I'm in an anime" feel.
4) *LOVE* the steampunkery and carts, airships, and stuff.
5) Every time I start a new character I see improvements in the game -- the developers are doing lots of work though I wish they'd address the items above.
6) Actually... I love the way they reduce rerolls by having the deleted character bawl their eyes out in the waiting room for 24 hrs. Choose your names and looks wisely

Update: Ramirez is in the lineup for Friday's game against the Cardinals.
Recommendation: Ramirez will play Friday for the first time since Apr. 5. He will be limited initially, but it should not be long before he regains his regular job at third base. Ramirez will man the hot corner and bat cleanup Friday against Cardinals starter Shelby Miller.

Increasing PSA Levels With Negative Biopsies
Over a 7 year period, PSA increased from 5 to 11. Three biopsies done, all negative, BPH with minimal symtoms, prostrate is enlarged but normal DRE. Any help on what can cause this or should I keep getting biopsies?
An elevated PSA can result from several causes. One being prostate cancer, however, an enlarged prostate, inflammation or infection of the prostate are other potential causes of an elevated PSA (among others). In patients whom have had negative biopsies in the past, we often watch the PSA velocity and percent free PSA as indicators for future biopsies.
