Long-necked sauropod dinosaurs include the largest animals ever to walk on land, but they hatched from eggs no bigger than a soccer ball.
A lack of young sauropod fossils, however, has left the earliest lives of these giants shrouded in mystery. Did they require parental care after hatching like some other dinosaurs, or were they self-reliant?
Research funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and led by Kristi Curry Rogers of Macalester College in St. Paul, Minnesota, sheds the first light on the life of a young Rapetosaurus, a titanosaurian sauropod buried in the Upper Cretaceous Maevarano Formation of Madagascar.
The findings are published today in the journal Science.
Active at birth
The baby behemoths were active, capable of a wider array of maneuvers than adult members of their species, and didn't need parental care after hatching.
"These scientists employed several lines of evidence to investigate growth strategies in the smallest known post-hatching sauropod dinosaur," said Judy Skog, a program director in NSF's Division of Earth Sciences, which funded the research along with NSF's Division of Environmental Biology.
Skog said the researchers developed tests that could be applied to other perinatal dinosaurs.
"It's intriguing that these animals developed quickly to function on their own, much like some birds and herding mammals of today," she said.
The preserved partial skeleton was so small that its bones were originally mistaken for those of a fossil crocodile, said Curry Rogers.
"This baby's limbs at birth were built for its later adult mass; as an infant, however, it weighed just a fraction of its future size," Curry Rogers said. "This is our first opportunity to explore the life of a sauropod just after hatching, at the earliest stage of its life."
Along with researchers Megan Whitney of the University of Washington, Mike D'Emic of Adelphi University, and Brian Bagley of the University of Minnesota, the team studied thin-sections of the tibia and used a high-powered CT scanner to get a closer look at the microstructures preserved inside the limb bones.
Microscopic bone features
The detailed microscopic features of the Rapetosaurus bones revealed patterns similar to those of living animals and made it possible for the scientists to reconstruct the beginning of the dinosaur's post-hatching life.
"We looked at the preserved patterns of blood supply, growth cartilages at the ends of limb bones, and at bone remodeling," Curry Rogers said. "These features indicate that Rapetosaurus grew as rapidly as a newborn mammal and was only a few weeks old when it died."
The tiny titanosaur was mobile at hatching and less reliant on parental care than other animals. Baby sauropods like Rapetosaurus were somewhat like miniature adults, Curry Rogers said.
The team also observed microscopic zones deep within the bones. They proved similar to the hatching lines in today's reptiles, and to neonatal growth lines in extant mammals.
The zones indicate the time of hatching in Rapetosaurus, and allowed the scientists to estimate the weight of the newly hatched Rapetosaurus -- around 7.7 pounds.
Demise in a drought
What caused the demise of this baby Rapetosaurus?
Clues came from its cartilage growth plates, which bear a striking resemblance to the modified growth cartilages that occur during starvation among living vertebrates.
When taken in the context of the intensely drought-stressed ecosystem represented in the Maevarano Formation, it's clear that this Rapetosaurus had it rough, Curry Rogers said.
"Between its hatching and death just a few weeks later," she said, "this baby Rapetosaurus fended for itself in a harsh and unforgiving environment."

If you are starting your own company as a painter, or just doing a few painting side jobs for friends and neighbors, you need to be able to estimate a price for these jobs accurately. This is when a price list comes in handy. A price list is important so you can offer your customer a menu of services, and then give them an accurate bid according to their needs. Creating a price list for a paint job keeps the lines of communication open between you and the customer and ensures that both of you are happy when the job is done.
Decide first on a cost for your labor. Most painters would bid the labor hourly. If you decide on a flat rate of $20 per hour, you can estimate how long it will take you and give the customer a price for labor easily. Add "Labor" to your price list.
Choose what kind of prep you can do on the home and add that to your price list. For instance, if a homeowner wants you to remove the old paint, lay the drop cloths, and other prep, you need to assign a price to each of those activities for your price list.
Assign a price to a gallon of paint if the customer wants you to supply it. Of course, if they supply their own paint, then you need not charge them. However, if you are using paint from your own store, estimate how much paint you will need to cover the home. A gallon of paint typically costs $30 and one gallon of paint can cover roughly 200 sq. ft. Multiply the size of the home by how many gallons of paint you expect to use and add that to your price list.
Decide on what you'll charge for certain special effects. Finishes such as sponging, stippling and other faux finishes are extra work and should cost more. Price them according to how intricate and time-consuming they are. For instance, sponging is fairly easy, but doing faux finishes can take a lot of work. Price accordingly.
Charge for any miscellaneous items that you used during the painting process. Assign a price for masking tape, paint brushes and rollers, drop cloths and other supplies you had to use. You can simply use the price you paid for them as a guide, or add 20 percent to cover your time in going to purchase the items.

With the VGA's less than a month away, Sony would be hard-pressed to reveal all of their secrets in November. However, their inability to take risks ultimately made the conference a very stale event, as each of the announcements had been rumored or assumed for weeks. We knew Naughty Dog was going to release an Uncharted entry, as even I predicted only days ago in a link below (I say even because my track record for predictions is unreliable). Infamous and Destiny trailers were shown, but neither will leave gamers endlessly debating tonight; Infamous' teaser didn't reveal any of the hyped powers or possibly returning characters, and Destiny showed "more of the same," though the multiplayer elements suggested by the last 3 seconds was admittedly intriguing.
They did do some things well, however. Destiny's trailer may have been lacking, but the promise of a time-excusive beta for PS3/PS4 members is certainly appreciated and a subtle strike against Microsoft. Some fans were disappointed when MGS became a multi-platform franchise, and Kojima assured long-time PS fans that they would still be remembered. Even though a pixelated Solid Snake won't make the PS4 more impressive a device than the XBox One, it is still a clever "easter egg (?)" that shows that the creators remember the series' roots. Within the last few hours, the Ouya lost its only sale plea: It's killer app, Towerfall, was announced as a PS4 title, complimenting Sony's vast array of Indie titles. Also, The Last of Us DLC trailer put to rest speculation, and hinted at some interesting ideas: First, it appears to be a prequel of Ellie's life with Riley before meeting Joel. I don't particularly support this idea: If this is before Ellie becomes a trigger-happy combatant and is still caged in the zombie-free military zone, then how would combat scenarios be possible (as it was confirmed that the player will control Ellie); also, I was part of the crowd that wanted to see the next chapter of Ellie and Joel's lives.
Only time will answer all of my questions, but regardless of whether any gamer purchases an XBox One of a PS4, they have a great generation to look forward to.
Note: One of my greatest aspirations is video game journalism, so it would mean a lot to me if you followed me and I would do the same back . Hope you enjoyed my post, and please comment below with your own opinion on the conference.

Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra
Alice Tully Hall
Over the last five years, the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra has built up a broad vision of pan-Latin jazz, with tributaries coming not only from the obvious -- Cuba and Brazil -- but also from the less obvious: Spain, Argentina and Panama.
There's no stopping this current. It's not so much a matter of going wider and finding new cultures for jazz-Latin fusion; it's a matter of going deeper and recognizing the important works of various idioms while commissioning new ones. Jazz at Lincoln Center obviously needed a separate band to do this full time.
Now it has one. Last Saturday night's performance by the new Afro-Latin Jazz Orchestra was vindication. The 20-piece orchestra was led by the pianist Arturo O'Farrill, the son of Chico O'Farrill, whose music by necessity forms part of the band's repertory. O'Farrill the elder was, in a sense, the Ellington of Afro-Latin jazz, and the concert's closer, his ''Afro-Cuban Jazz Suite,'' offered a definitive reading of a work that deserves to be considered a basic piece of American music.
From its opening ''Canción'' section, taken at a gracefully slow tempo, the performance got at all the various changing rhythms and harmonies of the piece: even the smallest parts were audible and articulated. And not even the recorded original from 1950, made with Machito's orchestra, approached the power of this orchestra's ending. Even better, perhaps, was that the group played Chico O'Farrill's ''Aztec Suite,'' a brilliant later work that has rarely been heard live. This is what good repertory orchestras should do: reveal genius.
The band may change dramatically from concert to concert. Saturday's show was basically an Afro-Cuban jazz program with none of the other South American or Iberian elements that are promised for the future. But Afro-Cuban jazz is the obvious place to start.
The band's rhythm section, with Andy Gonzalez on bass, Milton Cardona on congas, Joseph Gonzalez on bongos and timbales and Phoenix Rivera on drum set, works together to drive the orchestra. The brass and reed sections are made up of familiar faces from New York's salsa and Latin jazz bands as well as some more jazz-centered younger players; rare were the solos that relied too much on a jazz-swing feel.
Even a fairly simple idea for a song got a complex rhythmic framing. An arrangement of Juan Tizol's ''Caravan,'' for instance, by the trombonist Papo Vasquez, called for a cutting contest. Three soloists (Wynton Marsalis, a special guest, on trumpet; Mario Rivera on tenor saxophone; and Mr. Vasquez) played eight-bar solos in rotation. Simple enough, but those solos rode on a rhythm that was sort of a polyrhythmic funk cha-cha-cha.Continue reading the main story
Two other well-played pieces, Tom Harrell's ''Humility'' and Randy Weston's ''African Sunrise,'' suggested that the band would also play music that's much more identified with the jazz side of the fence, which throws open even vaster possibilities. Great things may be in store. BEN RATLIFFContinue reading the main story

An Islamic university in the capital city of Pakistan, Islamabad is embroiled in a rollicking sex scandal. The university in the limelight is International Islamic University Islamabad (IIUI) and the stories that are emerging from the local press are nothing short of harrowing. Several of their faculty and staff members have been accused of preying on their vulnerable female students and junior staff, in what is turning out to be one sordid tale of sleaze.
Many affiliated with the university admit that, "seedy affairs had been going on in the holy precincts" for some time, but none of them have spoken on record. The acting President Sahabzada Sajidur Rehman of IIUI also confirmed the same. Very recently a professor and a librarian left the university following allegations against them – as charges of rape against emerged. "We did not approach the police to investigate the allegations as it would have brought bad name to the university and set parents of the 9,500 girls studying here worrying," said the acting President IIUI, Sahabzada Sajidur Rehman.
Some sources in the university claimed that a Professor of the Economics Department used to offer his victims 'good marks' in examinations in exchange of sexual favors. The same Professor even resorted to threatening the unwilling victims with the threats of failing them. The worst part? The administration knew all about the seedy, sordid happenings at the IIUI. More alarming was the statement of the President of the University Staff Welfare Association, Chaudhry Mohammad Nazir, who confirmed the situation when he said, "the situation is far worse than what you know."
IIUI sources claim that the professor's exploitations ended after the university asked for formal complaint to be filed from his latest victim, so that some official action could be taken against the professor. Sadly, the victim's family refused to file a formal complaint against the Professor and that was the end of it.
In a country like Pakistan, a woman being subjected to honor killings is not uncommon. For a woman, her dignity is the most important so brining any family or an individual girl's name in rape cases end up causing more trouble for the victim. They are ostracized from the society and end up dealing with more social harassment. The shame that is associated with a rape victim is so high that even talking about it is taboo. Thus people generally remain hushed about such cases, usually sweeping the victims' harrowing deal under the rug – that in turn results in little or no action taken against the accused most of the times.
However, in the case of IIUI, despite the victim's reluctance the Student' Union took up her case and threatened the university administration about making it public knowledge and most damaging of all, with evidence of the Professor's misdemeanor. The evidence, according the news piece written in Dawn, claimed to be the same kind of evidence that had gone viral on the internet and forced the IIUI's old librarian to resign a few months earlier. This was despite the administration's alleged attempt to make the victim – a female assistant – to resign on the charge that she was a willing partner, which she firmly refused and went on a leave instead. After she returned from her leave, the administration assigned her to a new department, according to her colleagues.
Not that the families of the victims of coercive sex took their sufferings lying down. One father, reportedly a member of the Prime Minister's staff, instructed the Islamabad police to investigate. When investigators probed, the IIUI officials pleaded with them to hush up the matter as "the accused has already been punished" and a probe would only tarnish the image of the university and scare the parents.
It is a different matter that for the librarian though. The punishment meant retiring six months before it was due, and as for the professor – he resigned on his own and secured a new job in the National Agriculture Research Centre, with the help of his 'friends' in the bureaucracy.
Such cases, like mentioned earlier, are generally hushed up for several reasons, most of all for bringing a bad name to the family. But it is high time that the society here learns to shame the actual culprits instead of the victims. It is important to stand up against such unfair punishments for the victims and their families. Collectively the society needs to raise their voice against those who exploit the vulnerability for their personal agendas.
The literacy rate in Pakistan is at a staggering low, more so for women. Even in today's time, people generally shy away from sending their daughters to attain education, in fear that they will be subjected to such evils. If pertinent steps are not taken towards punishing the criminals of the heinous crimes at IIUI, it wouldn't be a surprise to see women's education take another blow, one that would knock it several decades back.

In your bathtub or shower right now, chances are, that you have a shower puff hanging somewhere. It's convenient, isn't it? Having something to lather as well as scrub at the same time. You can exfoliate your skin and it'll feel as smooth as a baby's. They've been proven to boost circulation too. It sounds like those shower puffs are a shower time must-have, huh?
That's where you might be mistaken. And by mistaken I mean, you couldn't have been more wrong. Dermatologists worldwide agree that shower puffs do us way more harm than good. In fact, over 98% skin doctors advise us to toss the shower puffs in the trash right away.
The reason? Well, according to J. Matthew Knight from the Knight Dermatology Institute, after you use a shower puff to exfoliate your skin, the dead skins gets trapped in the multiple layers of the puff's material. What makes it worse is the fact that when you leave the loofah in the shower, the residual warm water and the steamy environment are ideal conditions for bacteria and yeast growth. DISGUSTING!
So, to give you a good idea, the entire surface of the loofah becomes a massive breeding ground for harmful germs in a matter of hours. And multiple layers ensure multiple levels of infestation. You're probably making a face right now. Don't worry we've all been there. Pro tip: Helps if you throw your loofah at this very moment.
To make things worse, say you use a shower puff right after a good ole shave. Your risk of an infection rises through the roof. The bacteria gets stuck into the nicks of the wound and leads to various complications. Not to mention you're stuck with a bad looking and feeling a patch of infected skin.
If you really don't want to throw your shower puff, or you're just worried that you'll have nothing to rub-a-dub-dub in your tub with, then don't worry, there are solutions. Scientists urge to rinse the puff excessively and ensure all dead skin is removed. Afterward, the puff should hang to dry out of the shower in a moisture free environment. Shower puffs must be replaced with new ones every couple of months. And if your nose detects any displeasing odors from the puff, toss it immediately.
Talking about alternatives, there are a variety of scrubbers in the market today that are good replacements for shower puffs. Those colorful scrubbing gloves are an absolute godsend in my opinion. All you have to do is put them on, pour a dollop of soap into your palm and you're set. Personally, I think that these allow you to reach the hard spots easier than a shower puff. You can try a loofah or even a scrubber with a plastic tip. All you have to do is find one to your liking and make sure to practice proper hygiene with it.
Don't forget to SHARE this with all our loved ones.

LONDON – Bill Shankly, the former Liverpool manager, once remarked that Tottenham is not a club which wins trophies, it loses them. Harsh but fair. Since their last title 50 years ago, Spurs have won the F.A. Cup five times, the League Cup four times, two UEFA Cups and one European Cup Winners' Cup, a poor return for a club of its stature.
There is guarded optimism at White Hart Lane that the glory days could soon return. Spurs are seven points behind leaders Manchester City with a game in hand, playing the most exciting football in the Premier League. Harry Redknapp is the people's choice to succeed Fabio Capello, but realistically he knows England is unlikely to win the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. At Spurs, if he can keep the likes of Gareth Bale and Luka Modric he has an excellent chance of success at club level.
In the 2-0 win at Norwich in midweek, Spurs played some stunning attacking football coupled with a tactical adaptability that Redknapp is not always credited for. When right winger Aaron Lennon is fit, Spurs use a 4-4-1-1 formation, their midfield quartet of Lennon, Scott Parker, Modric and Bale a mixture of pace, power and precise passing. In front of them, Rafael van der Vaart plays just behind Emmanuel Adebayor, the pair scoring a combined 15 league goals.
Lennon's injury has seen Bale and van der Vaart supporting Adebayor with Redknapp giving the pair free roles. Modric remains Spurs' most consistent player, but when Bale reaches a peak like he did at Carrow Road when he scored twice, he is unstoppable.
Redknapp says the Wales international "has everything" and could only be replaced by "Messi or Ronaldo." Bale ran half the length of the field to score his second goal and was clocked at 27 kph; to put this into context Usain Bolt averages 37 kph in the 100 meters, but without a ball at his feet.
After joining Spurs from Southampton four years ago Bale went 64 matches without scoring. This season he has seven goals and five assists; the 22-year-old is quiet and unassuming, happy to play on a team that showcases his immense talent. His loyalty is likely to be tested because it would be surprising if Barcelona and Real Madrid do not come knocking next summer, but in the meantime Bale and Spurs have a realistic chance of catching the Manchester powerhouses. Or, as someone said, a 2½-horse race.
Michael Dawson, who has missed the first half of the season with an Achilles injury, will soon be fit to return to a defense in which Ledley King's damaged knees have still seen him play in two-thirds of the games. Eyebrows were raised, including mine, when Redknapp took Adebayor on loan from Manchester City. Ex-Arsenal players are as popular as toothaches in Tottenham, but the Togo international's nine goals in 15 matches have ensured little criticism if not glowing praise.
Like City and United, Spurs have plenty in reserve with William Gallas, Vedran Corluka, Tom Huddlestone, Niko Kranjcar, Sandro, Steven Pienaar and Roman Pavlyuchenko experienced stand-ins.
Redknapp has put together a side that has all the Tottenham traditions and his attempts at playing down his team's title chances grow more unconvincing with each victory.
IT HAS not been a good month for Luis Suarez. He was initially handed an eight-game ban plus a £40,000 fine by the Football Association, pending any appeal, after being found guilty of making a remark to Manchester United's Patrice Evra that referred to the Frenchman's color.
On Wednesday, Suarez admitted a charge of improper conduct during Liverpool's game at Fulham and was banned for one match and fined £20,000. Suarez gave a one-finger gesture — the middle finger of his left hand — to home fans as he left the pitch.
As things stand the Uruguay international will be banned for nine games, effectively almost a quarter of the Premier League season.
NEVER GO back they say but maybe, just maybe, Thierry Henry will pull on an Arsenal shirt again in 2012. Henry, now with the New York Red Bulls, has been training with the Gunners during Major League Soccer's close season. Word is the 34-year-old has looked in great shape.
Arsenal will lose strikers Gervinho and Marouane Chamahk to the African Cup of Nations soon and Arsene Wenger is considering a short-term loan deal for Henry.
No, he won't have the blistering pace that made him Arsenal's record goalscorer. No, he won't start every game but if Wenger thinks Henry can be an effective impact substitute and the player has the confidence he won't embarrass himself we should trust his judgment.
One thing's for certain, Henry would get the mother of all receptions at the Emirates if he plays for his beloved Arsenal again.
Christopher Davies was a longtime Premier League correspondent for the London Daily Telegraph.

About Wakko
Wakko replied to Sathra's topic in Xenonauts General DiscussionMy very first reaction was... the view distance the soldiers can see is terribad! It feels like its the same view distance soldiers had in the original xcom during night battles! I dont want to know how far the soldiers can see during night time in Xenonauts 3 tiles? *sarcasm* But really... for me the view distance of soldiers seem very low. Especially for being daytime.
Wakko replied to crusader523's topic in Xenonauts General DiscussionI hope we get to be able to research night goggles...
Wakko replied to Belmakor's topic in Xenonauts General DiscussionWhile I like the idea of events like this, I dont really like the idea of them giving you increasingly annoying negative consequences. If they want you to defend them, they should give you more money right? Feels like it would practically force the player to do these events, because if not you'd get too much negative impact on your gameplay. Events should be optional imo, like a bonus, not something that punish the player if he doesnt manage to complete it. Fighting aliens is annoying as it is.
Wakko replied to raidsoft's topic in Xenonauts General DiscussionI would love to see stuff like this. Something I'd like to see is something from the original xcom if I recall correctly, when the soldiers could be better at different stuff. A soldier might have be extra talented with sharpshooting and can often hit enemies far away more often than the other soliders can. Therefore he got the title "sniper" at his name I'd love the soldiers to have different personalities

Twitter this past Wednesday unveiled a new strategy statement that elicited a lot of laughter on account of its clunky sentence structure.
The company's strategy statement reads:
Reach the largest daily audience in the world by connecting everyone to their world via our information sharing and distribution platform products and be one of the top revenue generating Internet companies in the world.
For starters, some found it strange that Twitter, a site which lives and breathes on 140 characters, couldn't manage to condense its strategy statement within the character limit its own users adhere to. For the record, Twitter's statement checks in at 220 characters.
That quibble aside, the sheer clunkiness of Twitter's statement is rather bizarre. I mean, the company has a PR firm, right? And yet, its strategy statement essentially reads like a run-on sentence from a 7th-grade English essay. Does Twitter really need to use the word "world" three times?
Further, what's with Twitter having to underscore their commitment towards being "one of the top revenue generating Internet companies in the world"? Is this its way of reassuring investors that they haven't lost sight of the bottom line? Well, they apparently need to make a convincing case in that regard, given that the S&P recently assigned Twitter's debt a "junk" status.
Regardless, it's hard to view Twitter's new strategy statement as anything other than a big fat fail. And as one would expect, it's been eviscerated by folks on, where else, Twitter.
Here are a few of the better tweets we've seen thus far.
ALERT: The NYSE has halted trading of Twitter to give investors ample time to finish reading new mission statement.

Wow, @twitter - you've got a serious case of BS - might have too many MBAs in the kitchen #BetterTwitterMissionStatements

Gonna try my hand at a Twitter strategy statement. [cracks knuckles] [clears throat] "Make a lot of money by connecting people to ads."

Twitter strategy statement is so bad that it actually makes me turn bearish on Twitter for the first time https://t.co/PZI9r5OGR8

Hey Guys/Gals
i'm looking for a new NoN -PvP server to try and kick start my Warrior tank or Healing/dps shamy into doing raids, looking for a server/guild that will take me on an show me the ropes of deep raiding ICC,Nax and Ul...
Anyone need a tank or healer in the guild? :-p
i love my guild but it's just no doing anything... not enough active members for a raid... i'm trying too recruit but alas there all 14 year old with no manors....
12 Replies
Jan 15, 2010 at 5:49 UTC
Well our guild is small so at the moment we only do 10 man content atm, however we do 25 with other guilds
Nice thing though is that we give our advise and also explain everything regarding specs rotations, the GM an I put alot of time into researching all classes, specs raids gear enchants etc etc.
But that is the best kinds of guild to be in, my previous guild we tried ICC 25 an failed 4 times then I pugged it in 1 night with ppl far less geared
so my buddy an I started our own guild :)
Jan 15, 2010 at 5:52 UTC
i wonder if i can convince my guild to change server and join up with yours lol
Jan 18, 2010 at 5:53 UTC
Sorry, RP-PVP server here, although we do mainly raiding anyways. I'm also GM of a smallish 10man guild, halfway thru ICC10 atm.
If you ever find yourself on Scarshield Legion (EU) give me a /w on Pindleskin
Jan 18, 2010 at 7:56 UTC
i dunno if your done your quest for a server search but ihave one idea.
My realm may be a RP server but you dont have to RP on it (1/2 cant be bothered by it, 1/4 dont know what RP is). But there is a guild that could be ok for you for raiding but this is a proper raiding guild but i msure theres a few casual raiders in there.
Guild's name is Dark Glare, but atm i dont really know if they are recruiting and the server name is The Sha'Tar.
Jan 22, 2010 at 5:18 UTC
Humm RP guilds tend to stick too the RP scene and i can't say i'm very good with Role playing...
But I'm totaly fed up with my guild now, i am an officer and i am doing my upmost best to get raids going but no one ever signs up too them only the odd 2 or 3 and i really want to get into the raiding Lore and gear...
if anyone has any room in there social raiding guild for ether a:
Restro/elemental - Shammy (good healer and avg dps 2k)
Tank/Arms - Warrior (Good solid tank and after a few new tweaks i can hold aoe agro a lot easier) Dps is 2k arms and 1.8k tank
My arms dps tree needs to run more HC's for gear as he is still wearing Ilvl 173 items lol
Jan 22, 2010 at 5:42 UTC
nah i dont think DG is a RP guild some members are RP'ers but rest are raiders.
their one of the top guilds on my server in progression. if you dont like hardcore raiding then this guild isnt for you. :P
Jan 22, 2010 at 6:39 UTC
i like Raiding though i do have a social life too so i can't be there all the time lol
Jan 22, 2010 at 7:14 UTC
On Argent Dawn here. It's permanently on FCM *away* from the server, so good luck getting on there.
Plus, come 8pm there's 10 minute login queues. Still, the AH is always full and the prices are good to make LOTS of money :D

Well good news over the weekend!
I joined a newbie pug raid group on friday night and my a nice priest healer, we had a chat and dicided to ally our selfs for raiding, so we only ahve to choose 5 men from our guild and 5 men from theres to make a 10 man raid... we did Onyx last night as a start up raid just to get use to each other, we wiped 3 times but we got the hang of it in the end and downed her.
soon as we started communicating and following orders with the more knowlagable raiders we did it quite well with only 2 people dieing (the mages go figure lol)
and they only died becouse they were too far away from the healers or didn't run out the way of the fire.
Our setup was:
MT = Me
OT = MY guild leader (Paladin)
2 x Mages (My guild) DPS
3 x Warriors ( 2 my Guild 1 there guild) DPS
2x healers (there guild) Heal
1 x Paladin (there guild) DPS
in all it was a fun hour to play. we are doing VoA on Tuesday so i better read up on the bosses if i am to be MT lol
Hope it keeps going the more raiding we do the more that will join us or them
Jan 25, 2010 at 5:31 UTC
sounds good might make a joint guild thats what my guild did with another one for 25 mans.
Mar 12, 2010 at 7:26 UTC
Bah the guilds dead... no one is putting any effert into it...
so i'm open for recruitment :-p
i'll transfer to a diffrent realm and/or change faction to horde...
need a tank/dps or ranged ele/restr shammy? :-p

This is a printer that has been here for at least four years. I have been here a little over thrree. No one seems to know the username and password to access web interface.
Any ideas on how to clear it?
7 Replies
Sep 9, 2011 at 1:10 UTC
As far as I know, it is open when first installed. I don't seem to remember having to login first to begin configuring the setttings. You might look to do a reset to clear the existing credentials and redo them.
Edit: try going to the led panel on the printer itself and get to the Setup menu. You should find something like Network/Restore defaults or something like that.
Sep 9, 2011 at 1:13 UTC
Thanks. Do you know how to reset it?
Sep 9, 2011 at 1:26 UTC
Thanks, I had downloaded the manual, did not find what I had hoped.
Sep 9, 2011 at 1:34 UTC
Go to the LED on the printer and go through the menus to see if you can reset the system to defaults to clear credentials.
Sep 9, 2011 at 1:40 UTC
If you can't do it via the LED interface, you might try these suggestions for doing a cold reset:
Sep 12, 2011 at 12:01 UTC
Many of these printers use the snmp community name as the password. Try that if you know it.

Really great friendly team. Left the place neat and tidy - nothing was too much trouble. We had to wait a while for them to fit us in but then again I would be worried if the turned up the next day! Value for money yes - not the cheapest but by no means most expensive. Would be happy to have them back again.
Did a great job, on time, easy communication, good value. Will use Flamur again.

Funeral Potatoes
Recipe by Lubie
I'm not sure where they get their name, but they sure are tasty! (and they don't have to be served at funerals either!!)
Top Review by la-rojita
My mom used to make this for us- so I loved it! I made a few minor adjustments...I used a mix of Monterrey Jack and Cheddar cheeses instead of longhorn as was recommended. I also used more like 3 cups of corn flakes and extra butter to make the topping (cause the crunchy top is the best part). I also used the frozen bagged hash browns with onions and peppers already in it since that is what I had on hand and it didn't really affect the flavor. Will make over and over and over again!!!

I'm a bit of a beauty-brand hopper. Every few months, when a product I'm using runs out, I'll take the opportunity make a switch and try something new – sometimes I have success and sometimes veering from my usual shampoo or face cream is a total bust. Through all my beauty debacles, I've noticed that I do, in fact, have a few stand-by items that I really can't seem to live without, simply because they are (in my humble opinion) just genuinely good products that get the job done, every time.
Here are my top five picks for beauty buys:
John Master's Organics – Sea Mist Sea Salt Spray with Lavender, $22
You know that rough yet soft feel your hair takes on after a dip in the ocean? A few spritzes of this ingenious stuff and you'll get that breezy, sexy, messy 'look' with a hint of lavender to prevent any major drying-out. There's actually salt in it!
Dermalogica – AGEsmart Antioxidant Hydramist, $49
I turned 31 in August and I have to admit, aging skin has been on my mind. I recently starting using Dermalogica products faithfully and especially love the smell, feel and tightening effect of this toner/mist. It's pricier than most toners, but a little goes a long,way and the effects are worth it – smooth, tight skin that feels fantastic under my makeup. Yes, please.
Cover FX – Concealer, $27
I once had a tube of this last me a year and half! It's lightweight but still covers everything from under-eye circles to red spots and discoloration. Oh, and, and, and it's water-based and has SPF 15 (another anti-aging helper).
Mac Powder Blush in "Well Dressed", $23.50
A little brush of this colour on my cheeks in the morning and little touch up in the evening and my face always looks fresh and perfectly "hued" – people think it's all me, but it's not…it's the Mac (but who needs to know, right?).
Palmer's Cocoa Butter Lotion with Vitamin E, $5 to 9
What is there not to love about smelling like chocolate and vanilla all day? Seriously, that's what this lotion smells like, but with great subtlety. It also claims to "reduce stretch marks" but I'm not sure if that's true. I just love that it's creamy and works wonders after a rough leg-shave. The scent lasts all day and so does the softness.

Product News
- Series 3000 & 3000-T Meeting Stile Sill Blocks: In high wind conditions, a meeting stile is perhaps the weakest element of a sliding door. To assist in performance, we have designed special blocks that attach to the sill, which will help keep the panels from blowing out. The part is the same for both the Series 3000 and 3000-T. (7/2017)
- 9/16" Glass Stop Added: The following door series are now offered with a 9/16" glazing stop: 3900-T, 3200-T, 3600-T, and the new 4070-T. (7/2017)
- Black Paint Choices: While research continues to find black tones that are resilient enough for fabrication, we have added two black finishes to the custom color repertoire: Rich Black and Black Beauty. (7/2017)
- NEW Height Addition: Standard Size Program - Starting July 1, 2017, the Standard Size Program for the Series 1070, 1050, and 1000 will also offer a 79.5" net frame height. (6/2017)
- FAQs: One of the effective information tools we offer is the Frequently Asked Questions section of our website. The page links are listed in the Homeowners, Builder/Installer, and Designers menus. (6/2017)
- Concept Drawings: Online product pages include seveal helpful links. Perhaps the most underutilized tool is Concept Drawings. A few examples below. (5/2017)
Series 3800-T -- How to support suspended TDL at corners
Series 3070 -- Combining a Pocket Door & Fixed Lite
- Black Paint: Paint formulas have changed over the years, making wet applied black paint (e.g. Kynar) more difficult to manufacture. For several months we have limited black paint to those formulas with a higher content of carbon, but even these shades are subject to finish marring through the fabrication process. We are therefore no longer accepting any orders for black painted material until we can find a finish process that is acceptable. Specifically, we are investigating powder coating. Until this project is finalized, dealers are encouraged to purchase dark bronze anodizing. (3/2017)
- Roto Gear Cover: In an effort to make the hardware more attractive, we are now providing a cover plate for the underside of the roto gear operator housing. (3/2017)
- Series 3800-T Glass Stop: The Series 3800-T now offers a unique design glass stop that accommodates 1-1/4" glazing. The shape transforms the flush presentation to that of a tiered design. This option is available on orders placed after April 1st, 2017. (3/2017)
- Retiring Series 2000: With tightening energy codes, the Series 2000 is more challenging to sell. We are retiring this fine product on May 1, 2017. We will accept orders through April 30, 2017. (3/2017)
- Improved Installation Clip: The sill clip for False Jambs on the Series 3000-T sliding door has been improved. The new method uses the hidden sill block instead of an "L" shaped clip. This has been updated on all installation instructions. (1/2017)
- Odd Angle Corner Doors: The aluminum bar stock material that is formed to the desired angle is an alloy that does not anodize the same as the 6063 material used on the rest of the door. We are therefore no longer offering odd angle corner doors in custom anodized finishes. We are however offering this option in pained finishes. Additionally, we will offer this shape painted Silver and Black for stock Clear Anodize or Dark Bronze Anodize finishes, respectively. (1/2017)
- Part Name Changes: Most of our sliding door lock stiles offer an optional adapter to add rigidity. The current names for these parts are: HP Adapter & Windload Adapter. Starting in 2017, the names will change to be more intuitive, following the interlocker "HP" designation for high performance.
Single wing adapter: HP1 Adapter
Double wing adapters: HP2 Adapter and HP2-T Adapter
Within 4 months, a thermally broken single wing adapter will be available and it will aptly be named HP1-T Adapter. (12/2016)
- Series 4070-T Update: The Design Team made improvements to the new A4 roller, which required panel extrusion changes. These changes added 4-6 weeks to the original estimate of 2-1-17. The Series 4070-T is now on schedule to be ready for ordering sometime during the first quarter of 2017. (11/2016)
- WATER - Large Window Results: The Engineering Department just completed testing of a Series 3800-T @ 30' x 12'. The configuration consisted of three horizontals and four verticals. The water pressure achieved was 12 psf which is a high rise commercial performance. Even better, the result was achieved with fewer weep slots than currently provided in similar configurations. (10/2016)
- STRUCTURAL - Large Window Results: The Engineering Department just completed testing of a Series 3800-T @ 30' x 12'. The configuration consisted of three horizontals and four verticals. The window-wall successfully passed a 25DL test. (10/2016)
- Skeletal Hinged-Screen Corner Key: Fleetwood's redesign being the perfect balance of strength, functionality and weight provides a tighter corner joint. This new corner will become standard for all products sold after 10/18/2016. (10/2016)
- Series 3500 Phase Out: The success of the Series 3900-T has prompted for the discontinuation of the Series 3500 hinged door. This door will only be available for ordering through 2016. Beginning 1/1/2017 no orders will be accepted. (10/2016)
- Series Name Change: Starting in 2017 the Series 3300-T will change to Series 3000-T. (10/2016)
- Glass Deflection: Though some types/sizes move more than others all glass deflects. The most common glass thickness chosen for Fleetwood products is 6mm (1/4"). Granted, most of the time glass comes in an insulated unit but nonetheless the lites are individually 6mm thick and will flex considerably in sizes larger than 40 square feet. Dealers should inform customers of this normal movement, assuring them it will NOT affect Fleetwood's warranty. Review Making the Right Choices section on the Homeowner drop down menu, and then select "Choosing the Right Product". (9/2016)
- Improved Roller Series 250: We will soon be shipping all Series 250 sliding windows with an even better roller. The new roller has a larger bearing and will therefore improve operation. Once current inventory is depleted the new rollers will be installed in each sliding panel. (9/2016)
- Roto Gear Cover: If roto gear hardware is installed above eye level the underside reveals fasteners and undulations. Over the next few months you will begin to notice a cover will be present. (9/2016)
- Product Labeling: All products with factory glass are shipped with an Energy Performance label (NFRC, Simulated or Default). This label also indicates the factory invoice/order number, which makes product indentification easier after the factory packaging has been discarded. (8/2016)
- 250-T Hinged Screen Hinges: Beginning on orders shipped after October 1, 2016 all Dark Bronze Anodized hinged screens will come standard with black painted hinges. (7/2016)
- New HVHZ Results: The Florida Building Code (FBC) has recently approved additional testing for the Series 3070-HI and 3070-T Sliding Door Systems: Straight/Pocket and Corner Conditions; unlimited frame widths up to 60" wide panel centerlines; and 144" frame height. Note: the Series 3070-T is limited to 120" frame height. (6/2016)
- Series 3600-T Flush Sill: Effective immediately, the net frame height (NFH) will now be measured from the bottom of the flush sill to the top of the head. The same change is also being made to the Series 3600. Note: The NFH for all sub floor products will be measured the same way. (6/2016)
- Series 250-T Black Hinges: The default finish for dark bronze anodized casement windows will now be black painted stainless steel hinges. (6/2016)

Chatting with my friends I realized girls have many theories about guys and how to find a good one...
Here it goes some I heard
If he is tall, he can't be nice, tall is already a huge quality 2 won't be in one man lol
The guy has to love the girl more than she does, otherwise it will be trouble and painful
The uglier the nicer
Pretty guy is trouble
Anyway I just realized all of this seem sh*t but it is true when a guy doesn't have the physically attractions he seems to be a better guy more mature less shallow and now I ve been paying attention to the non attractive guys
Most Helpful Girl
*If he is tall, he can't be nice, tall is already a huge quality 2 won't be in one man lol*
lmao sadly this is true in a lot of cases. however tall is not that serious to me, a lot of guys are tall that doesn't mean he's attractive. so I'd replace the word "tall" with "fine".
*The guy has to love the girl more than she does, otherwise it will be trouble and painful*
Whoever has the least feelings has the most power, and when guys have power they tend to abuse it and it results in pain for the woman. a guy who loves you more will never leave you, and if you love him your love will eventually grow to match his and make it even. win win for everyone
*The uglier the nicer*
Only if the girl is hot. ugly guys are not nice to girls they don't think are hot because I used to not be cute and ugly guys acted nasty to me. but now that I'm cute they are nice.
*Pretty guy is trouble*
Yeah because every other girl wants him
To me its best to find an average-cute guy. the really fine guys are usually players or gay because they get spoiled by so much female attention. the ugly guys are hard to look at and I can't be with someone I don't wanna hook up with. so an average-cute guy is the best of both worlds11|00|0
Totally agree, we think alike ;) but the average cute nice guy is still to hard to find...

Transforming your payroll processes for Affordable Care Act compliance
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, simply referred to as the Affordable Care Act (ACA), is significantly altering the health care landscape in the United States, with a multitude of changes for individuals, employers and providers. The ACA includes several IRS mandates, increasing the reporting and compliance burden on your payroll system. You must ensure that your systems and processes are sufficient to manage the increased demands to collect, report and safeguard relevant information under the new mandates of the ACA.
The employer shared responsibility provisions of the ACA were originally slated to go into effect in 2014; however, in July 2013, the federal government extended the effective date until Jan. 1, 2015, to give employers, insurers and other providers more time to prepare for the new changes. On Feb. 10, 2014, the Treasury Department announced further relief from penalties until Jan. 1, 2016, for companies with 50-99 full-time employees. The ACA also imposes new information reporting requirements on large employers starting with the 2015 calendar year.
While additional time has been given, you should not wait to begin implementing strategies and performing tests to ensure full compliance. The process can be complex, and you may need time to optimize your current payroll system, develop new reports to meet the reporting mandates or even implement a new platform to handle the increased compliance burden. Failure to comply by the deadlines could result in unnecessary penalties.
To summarize key ACA provisions:
- In 2015, large employers with 100 or more full-time employees (including equivalents) must offer affordable, minimum value health coverage to 70 percent of those employees or potentially pay a penalty. Penalties can be triggered by a full-time employee obtaining a premium subsidy from the health insurance marketplace (i.e., exchange).
- In 2016, all large employers must offer affordable, minimum value health coverage to 95 percent of their full-time employees or potentially pay a penalty.
- In 2016, all large employers must file new information returns (Forms 1095 and 1094) to report information to the IRS about their health plans and their workforce for the 2015 calendar year.
The ACA defines "large" employers as having 50 full-time or full-time equivalent employees. "Full-time" is defined as 30 hours per week, and not 40 hours, as we might typically assume.
The good news is that most payroll systems are collecting the required data today. However, the new IRS reporting mandates have increased the burden on employers of all sizes, as their systems are not equipped for these mandates with standard or out-of-the-box reports. Everyone will face growing pains; unfortunately, midmarket companies have fewer resources and less room for error with systems and processes than larger counterparts.
To comply with new ACA regulations, companies must leverage reporting tools and capabilities within their payroll system. Several different reporting tools and midmarket enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems can help with compliance issues. Many organizations already have adequate systems in place that will require optimization of reporting and alerts, while others may require new systems. In many cases, organizations are capturing the necessary data today, but need to report it in a different way moving forward.
The ACA has introduced several general reporting requirements, and your organization must have internal processes and reports that confirm compliance and alert you of any issues. For example, your payroll system should track:
- Hours worked by each employee
- The number of full-time employees and full-time equivalents
- An employee's eligibility for health care benefits
- Offers to employees of health care coverage
- Enrollment of employees and their family members in the health coverage
- The amount paid for health care
- Eligibility for a small business health care tax credit
Makers of midmarket ERP systems are not necessarily retooling modules to capture payroll data to meet the new requirements. The systems should already have the ability to capture that information–it's just a matter of reporting the data in a different manner to satisfy new IRS regulations. For example, Microsoft Dynamics or NetSuite are not creating additional standard reports to meet the new requirements, since they can vary significantly from employer to employer. Instead, employers should leverage existing reporting toolsets to tap into data that is already captured to present it in a different way. For instance, employers with many hourly employees working variable hours will need analytical tools to perform a what-if analysis to optimally structure their look-back periods.
Midmarket ERP systems can set up alerts to notify companies or specific employees about potential compliance issues. These indicators can be established for areas such as full-time equivalents, the amount paid for health care, employee eligibility, and other key metrics. In addition, organizations can set up reports using standard midmarket tools, including SQL Server Reporting Services, Crystal Reports and even Excel's ODBC connections, which can tap into tables in Windows-based systems.
For organizations using entry-level systems, defining and calculating full-time employees and full-time equivalents is often more challenging than with a more advanced system. One of the primary reasons companies step up to a more robust ERP system is for deeper reporting capabilities. The ACA will place a greater emphasis on mining and analyzing employee information to ensure compliance with the new laws.
Another challenge that spurs organizations to upgrade to midmarket ERP systems is the enhanced ability to import and export data. In the future, you will need to generate more files for the new reporting mandates required by the IRS. ACA requirements typically will not result in additional fields in your payroll system; however, as mentioned earlier, the legislation will change the way information is reported.
For the most part, payroll systems all have similar capabilities to set up pay codes, deductions and benefits in the system. Where midmarket ERP systems, such as Microsoft Dynamics and NetSuite, set themselves apart is in performing analytics on data. Those processes are often more difficult, or simply not possible, with entry-level systems. In addition, midmarket ERP systems provide a higher level of security. Processes must be secure when sharing sensitive employee payroll or health care information.
Software developers are not writing standard reports to align with the ACA's data demands because there are no blanket reporting standards. For example, the legislation introduces a new look-back period for tracking employee hours; however, that period is different for every organization. Your business requires a flexible payroll system with a robust reporting engine, capabilities and tools to satisfy this and other evolving reporting demands.
The new ACA regulations are complicated, and your payroll system and processes must be ready to manage additional compliance demands. While the implementation timeline has been extended, you must be proactive to discover any issues early and focus on solutions. Updating systems, policies, alerts and reporting can take time, and compliance penalties can be significant.
Optimizing an existing midmarket ERP system, or implementing a new platform if necessary, can help meet your ACA reporting needs, unlocking additional data and reporting capacity. Don't get caught off guard; if you are unsure about your ERP system's ability to comply with new ACA mandates, contact your provider to ensure you have sufficient tools and processes in place.

I had made cupcake stands out of cake circles and dummies that I thought were pretty nice. Apparently they were not because the wait staff threw them out afterwards.
They took hours to make(actually days) Plus they were not cheap and I had to get my husband involved to help make them.
So now I get to call the hotel and let them know they owe me money and send them a bill.
This day is going to be fun!
Thanks for letting me vent!
Very nice stand! I hope they don't give you any trouble. Good luck.
That stinks I too hope they don't give you grief over this.
This is exactly why you should start taking deposits on anything you want back. Just in case they are broken, damaged or thrown away, you'll at least have the money to replace them.
Did you tell the bride/customer these were supposed to be returned? DId you tell the hotel? If not, I can see why they threw them out. Not because aren't nice, but because they were made out of cake circles and dummies - materials many may think are disponible.
In any case, lesson learned and good luck getting any money out of them.
i learnt my lesson the hard way too - i dropped a cupcake tower to a restaurant round the corner from my shop and didnt charge for delivery and set up or stand hire and said i would nip back round the next day and pick up the stand since it was so handy (yep im a mug). next day, go back and pick up the stand which is waiting for me and then get back to the shop and realise two legs are missing - ring the restaurant and they have zero interest and just said they cant find them!! great! luckily the manufacturer sells spares for £3.00 but still!
yep!! deposit all the way!!
The bride rented the stands and was going to get her money back when they were returned.
My issue is all the time it took to make them. And they were designed to be used again and again but they only got to be at one event. The poor stands. They never got to fulfill their destiny! LOL
Thanks for the kind words on how they looked.
I make my own stands too, out of mdf wood (very heavy) and this one below cost me about $10.00 to make and about 3 hrs. of work! I charge a $100.00 deposit on it, because of the time involved like you said!
I also can see why they'd think that stand was disposable, honestly I probably would have thought the same thing........only I'm betting someone at the hotel took it home, rather than threw it away that's my guess!
Those cake circle/cake dummy ones get beat up pretty fast though, you might consider making them from wood in the future or charging enough for those ones that they can be disposable?
I was thinking of making the next ones out of wood. But that would require hubby and he is busy renovating my attic right now.
Now that I have cooled off I'm just going to let it go and move on. I don't have the time or energy to try and get money back.
I've never used power tools in my life before making this stand......it CAN be accomplished.
Also, they sell precut masonite boards...if you can drill a hole you can use those to make a nice durable and reuseable stand for next to nothing as well!! also a LOT less work, though probably a little more than $10 to make.
thanks for the info! I would have to get the precut boards if I were to do it myself. I don't focus well so precision is not something I'm good at. LOL My husband would laugh if I told him I was going to make them. And they would not be round! LOL
could always make squares LOL
Actually they are out as well. Even when there is a line to follow I still vier of course. LOL
I always have my wood cut at the hardware store, they don't charge extra. But I haven't had to do circles through them.
A great way around this -- charge the bridal party the deposit! Trust me, they'll treat those stands like it's their firstborn child!
these are pretty inexpensive if you want to buy one to have on hand.
thanks guys. My hubby said he would make me the stands sometime. Hmmmm..... I may get them next century! LOL

Hi Ken, I use a very similar approach in my applications; and my answer was to subclass Error with ConfigurationError and throw it when I realize I cannot initialize completely. This will prevent your application from servicing requests; as well as play nicely within the container (tomcat).

Nailed her on the third date. Nailed her again on the fourth. Then she stopped. What's going on here?
I ask her why and she says, "just because. I don't feel like it." At the same time she tells me how irresistible I am and how I'm making it really hard for her, etc.
She also gives blow jobs but just won't have sex.
Most Helpful Guy
Sounds like she's trying to just slow things down, it might be going too fast for her. But if you're still getting David Blowies it's a good sign that she's still interested. Also, if you're using terms like "nailing" her TO HER, she might be questioning your motives and feeling you out. But you never know, maybe you're getting gamed by her too. A little rope-a-dope, haha. I'd say the first idea is more likely though.11|00|0

Contest offers home energy upgrades
Citizen Staff Reports 07/17/12
One local homeowner will win up to $10,000 in home energy upgrades to lower energy bills and increase comfort, through the Richmond Region Energy Alliance's Richmond Home Energy Makeover Contest, which opened today and will continue through Aug. 26.
Ten finalists will also win free home energy assessments valued at $300. Local nonprofits can also take part in the Contest's Nonprofit Challenge for a chance to win a $1,000 cash prize.
"This is an exciting opportunity for homeowners in Richmond to finally take control of their home energy bills," said Bill Greenleaf, executive director of the Richmond Region Energy Alliance. "With home energy improvements, one lucky homeowner will win once and save forever. We hear from homeowners all the time that they are paying too much on their energy bills while still suffocating in their homes during our hot and humid summers – and then shivering in frigid rooms in the winter. The Richmond Home Energy Makeover Contest is a free and easy way to enjoy your home again."
The contest is open to single family homeowners who reside in the counties of Henrico, Hanover, Chesterfield, Goochland, Powhatan, New Kent and Charles City, the City of Richmond and the Town of Ashland
To enter, visit http://www.rrea-va.org/contest.
Contest entry involves completion of a five-minute form that will create a personalized home energy report that identifies what your energy bills are paying for and outlines simple ways you can cut those costs.
The Richmond Region Energy Alliance is a community-based nonprofit that provides tips for homeowners to solve their high home energy bills and comfort issues through home energy improvements. The contest is sponsored by Carrier Corp and EarthCraft Virginia.
Home energy improvements for the grand prize winner will range from small to large solutions and often include air and duct sealing, HVAC upgrades, insulation, sealing and/or replacing windows and doors, lighting and appliance upgrades.
The winner will be selected at the end of September, and the improvement work will be scheduled in October in coordination with the homeowner.
