Raid Schedule Edit
~With WotLK raid times have become a bit confusing, this will be updated when things settle down~
We are a relaxed end game raiding guild. What this means is that we only raid 16 hours a week (4 times a week from 8:00pm to 12:00pm)
Raid invites go out at around 7:45 but expect to be on before then so officers can determine what is available/possible to raid.
Because a majority of us have things to do on weekends we do not raid then.
- Monday - off-night
- Tuesday - 8:00-12:00 Raid
- Wednesday - 8:00-12:00 Raid
- Thursday - 8:00-12:00 Raid
- Friday - off-night
- Saturday - off-night
- Sunday - 8:00-12:00 Raid
A raid is considered 25 man content (SSC, TK, Magtheridon, Gruul, Kazzak, Doomwalker) the officers will determine what would be best to attempt that night.
10 Man Raids & Late Night Runs
- 10 man content is considered optional content and is only done on off-night raiding days. There is usually a 10 man raid every Saturday starting late in the afternoon (starts whenever there are enough on who can go)
- After the 25 man raid is over there is usually a 10 man raid going 30min to an hour once it is closed. These runs are optional as well and usually end around 3:00am.
Loot System Edit
Computus Demum uses a unique DKP/Open Bidding system
- Each player starts with zero DKP and gradually accumulated more with raid attendance and boss kills.
- If an item drops and you want it you type !bid followed by the ammount of points you are willing to place on the item.
- Example - /Raid !bid 120
- If someone out bids your bid you may bid again. There is no limit to the amount of times you bid only the amount of points you have.
- This is all done in raid chat.
- Your bid may be revoked if...
- A) you dont need it (melee biding on caster item)
- B) Major vs Minor upgrade (this is usually obvious to everyone in the raid)
- C) Main vs Alt/Off-spec
- Everyone is on an equal playing field when bidding. What this means is someone who has been in the guild for 8 months has just as much chance as wining an item as someone who has been for a week. Basically the idea that Officers > Members > Initiate when it comes to loot does not exist.
- More points can be awarded to the raid if it is going into new content.
- People can earn points individually by donating materials to the guild's banks. These materials can be anything the officers decided is needed (List regurally updated on website). However a majority of these items are consumable mats which are crafted and distributed to raid members durring difficult encounters, or if requested (mana/health pots, elixirs, etc.). These 'Donations' vary in points based on the rarity of the item in question.
- People can earn points even outside the raid if they choose to go onto a waitlist and 'wait' outside the instance. These are people who usually miss the initial raid invite. They however do not get the boss kill points but raid attandance instead. Logging onto an alt is exceptible if you are on the list as long as you tell someone before doing so.
- Points are updated onto a website were the points for everyone are displayed. People can also view the loot won as well as the ammount of points spent on the item. (this site is updated after every raid)
- With Wrath of the Litch King all points will be reset back to zero for everyone.
Insight to Computus Demum Edit
- Computus Demum was originally believed to be the Latin translation of "The Final Reckoning" (hence the banner). No one questioned the guild name until a solid year and a half after the guild was established. Upon careful review a guild member decided to translate it directly, discovering that Computus Demum actually means "final/exact countdown/count". In other words Computus Demum means the "final number in a countdown" (i.e. 10 if counting to 10 or zero if counting down). After this post was made on our forums; Europe's "The Final Countdown" became the guilds theme song.
- CD was for a long time considered a splinter off of the guild Circle of Power (which for a while it was) however to make refrence to that now would be confusing to many of Computus Demums current members. This is in part by only a dozen or so players have remained from the original guild that formed prior to TBC; these players being mainly officers now. So no longer can the guild consider themselves affiliated with CoP like it has in the past.
- Who is tanking? OMG Bear is tanking!?!! How can that be?!?
- Computus Demum is proud to be guilded with the best paladin tank on the server Eonar. Eska is a pompous character who is so tactical about his stats that he keeps a calculator and a pad of paper next to his keyboard to recheck his uncrushability, defence, and basic avoidance to mob ratios every other minute. He is usually willing to help any up and coming pally tank with the basics but can only give so much before trade secrets start to become released. Eska is 6foot tall with blonde hair and blue eyes and likes long walks on the beach. If he can he would wear a suit because he thinks its stylish along with unnaturally comfortable. He likes a good beer every now and then but a nice red wine is his drink of choice. Unfortunately he has decided to take an extended break from the game and does not know when he will be returning.
- On August 17th 2008 Computus Demum downed Brutallus. This marked a new chapter for our guild because it was our very first "Eonar Horde First Kill" making us the number one horde guild on the server.
- On October 23rd 2008 Computus Demum announce its Horde server first Kil'Jaeden kill, thus making them the first Horde guild on Eonar to finish TBC raiding.
- On November 4th 2008 Nayana received the first Thori'dal, the Stars' Fury for Horde side (there is one on Aliance side but it might be a transfer, if it is this is a server first)
- On November 16th 2008 Eander became the first Horde player to reach 80 as well as the first Paladin on the server to reach 80.
- On December 21st 2008 Computus Demum downed Sartharion with 3 drakes up becomeing the first on the server to do so.
- On December 21st 2008 Eska received the first [Reins of the Twilight Drake] on the server.
- On January 2nd 2009 Karador received the first [Reins of the Red Proto-Drake] for the Horde.
- On April 3rd 2009 Slowthar stepped down as GM giving the responsibility back to Airak (FC). FC was the founding GM but passed the job to Calavero (Nayana) when CD was making headway into BWL. Slowthar became the GM at the beginning of the launch of TBC when it was decided that CD needed a new way to present itself as well as allowing Cal to concentrate more on his Tattooing business.
- On May 21st 2009 Computus Demum has shifted away from being a hard-core 25 man progression guild. This is in do part to a large influx of officers and core raiders schedules and priorities changing.

2001 News Releases
Release Date: 12/21/2001

Environmental News
Dave Ryan 202-564-7827 / email@example.com
On the heels of comprehensive new brownfields legislation passed by Congress, EPA Administrator Christie Whitman today announced $2 million in grants to provide environmental job training at brownfields sites in nine states and Washington, D.C. Whitman made the announcement during a visit to the Alice Hamilton Occupational Health Center. During the visit the Administrator observed students in the last session of Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response training.
"EPA wants to help too," Whitman continued. "That's why I am proud to announce that EPA is funding 10 new Job Training Demonstration Pilot Projects. The skills learned will make environmental awareness and participation a critical component of life for families living near brownfields in D.C. and all across the country. I am also pleased that the Congress has taken steps to promote brownfields cleanup as well. Both the House of Representatives and then the Senate this week passed legislation that meets the President's commitment to brownfields. This legislation - similar to these job training programs - provides the tools necessary to make brownfields redevelopment fast and effective."
Including today's grant recipients in the District of Columbia and the states of Ohio, Rhode Island, Montana, Iowa, Indiana, Delaware, South Carolina, Washington and New York, brownfields job training program efforts are now active in 23 states and Puerto Rico.
The job training grants, totaling $200,000 each, are used to teach environmental-cleanup job skills to individuals living in low-income areas in the vicinity of brownfields sites. The majority of participants who successfully complete the training program go on to pursue careers with environmental firms and organizations.
Since the program started in 1998, 566 trainees, the majority of whom are minority, have been hired at an average hourly entry-level wage of $12.12. Brownfields are abandoned, lightly contaminated properties often found in economically distressed areas, that can be returned to economically thriving, community hubs. Since 1993, the EPA has taken significant steps to clean up brownfields and return them to productive use, awarding over $200 million in grants to cities, counties, tribes, states, non-profit organizations and educational institutions nationwide.
According to an independent study conducted by the Council for Urban Economic Development, the revitalization of brownfields has created over 22,000 permanent jobs and leveraged $2.48 in private investment
for every dollar spent by federal, state or local governments. A recent study by George Washington University found that for every acre of brownfields redeveloped, 4.5 acres of undeveloped land is saved.
For further technical information, contact Doris Thompson of EPA at 202-260-4483 (email@example.com) or visit: http://www.epa.gov/brownfields/
Attached is a summary of each grant awarded today.
FY 2002 Brownfields Job Training Grants
Groundwork Providence Inc., Rhode Island
With the $200,000 Brownfields Job Training and Development grant, Groundwork Providence Inc. plans to train 90 participants recruited from underemployed or unemployed residents of Providence's three Enterprise Community neighborhoods. These neighborhoods are predominantly minority and neighborhood poverty rates range as high as 47%. The city contains hundreds of manufacturing mills, most of which are now underused or abandoned. Approximately 150 mills are being considered for economic development or historic preservation. Providence is a leader in the preservation and reuse of historical industrial properties, and the state has a new program that offers tax incentives to businesses reusing vacant mill space. The 252-hour environmental technician training program will consist of health and safety, lead abatement, asbestos abatement, and innovative remediation technologies. The Providence Department of Planning and Development has committed to placing graduates on its list of first source hires.
St. Nicholas Neighborhood Preservation Corporation, Brooklyn, New York
With the $200,000 Brownfields Job Training and Development grant, St. Nicholas Neighborhood Preservation Corporation (St. Nicks) plans to train 80 participants recruited from among unemployed and underemployed residents of the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn. The Williamsburg neighborhood (population 88,000) is predominantly Hispanic and Black, and more than 25% of the residents live in poverty. Residents are in need of jobs with a career ladder. The area is zoned for mixed use and includes heavy industrial, underused, and vacant brownfields. Two of the city's Assessment Pilot sites slated for cleanup and development are located near St. Nicholas. There is steady demand for entry-level environmental workers by local environmental contractors. The 192-hour Pilot training program will consist of chemical hazards and hazardous materials management, remediation techniques, innovative technologies, and health and safety. Field trips with technology demonstrations are planned to two nearby Assessment Pilot brownfields.
Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control, Wilmington, Delaware
With the $200,000 Brownfields Job Training and Development grant, the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control plans to train 50 participants recruited from among undereducated and underemployed residents of the Southbridge and East Wilmington communities. The two communities (population 8,000) are depressed, inner-city neighborhoods in which two-thirds of the residents are minorities. Wilmington has a 200-year history of industrial activity. The City has identified 126 brownfields—a quarter of the city's lands are brownfields. Assessments conducted by the Brownfields Assessment Pilot are expected to generate six to ten remediation projects. The 152-hour Pilot training program will consist of health and safety, introduction to environmental issues, asbestos abatement, lead abatement, and innovative assessment and cleanup technologies. Local environmental contractors have expressed interest in hiring residents trained as environmental technicians to participate in new redevelopment projects.
DC Department of Health, Washington, DC
With the $200,000 Brownfields Job Training and Development grant, the DC Department of Health plans to train 58 participants recruited from disadvantaged residents of communities impacted by brownfields. Over two-thirds of the District's residents are minorities. The unemployment rate in the District is twice the national unemployment rate, and almost 20 percent of residents live in poverty. The District is experiencing an economic resurgence after decades of decline, and the pressure to assess, clean up, and redevelop the city's numerous vacant industrial and commercial sites is intensifying. The 12-week pilot training program will consist of health and safety, lead and asbestos abatement, hazardous communication, sampling and sample management, site assessments, and innovative investigation technologies. The Job Training Pilot is needed to help ensure that District residents benefit from stable environmental jobs and that local businesses will have a pool of trained environmental technicians from which to hire employees.
Concurrent Technologies Corporation, Greenville, South Carolina
With the $200,000 Brownfields Job Training and Development grant, Concurrent Technologies Corporation plans to train 75 participants recruited from unemployed and underemployed residents of the West Greenville/Reedy River Corridor. The Corridor is located just west of the downtown. Half of the residents are minorities. One-third of the residents live in poverty, and the average annual income is approximately half of the City-wide average. The Corridor was once the textile center of the region. With the decline in the textile industry and development of the eastern part of the city, the Corridor fell into economic decline. The Corridor remains blighted by a number of abandoned and underused industrial properties, including several large textile facilities. The 260-hour pilot training program will consist of sampling, general industry standards for safety and health, heavy equipment operation and safety, and innovative technologies. Surveys of employers in the Greenville area indicate a strong demand for entry-level environmental technicians.
City of Gary, Indiana
With the $200,000 Brownfields Job Training and Development grant, the city of Gary plans to train 160 participants recruited from unemployed, underemployed, and other disadvantaged residents in the areas of the Empowerment Zone Development Site and the Airport Development Zone. These areas are the focus of the Gary Empowerment Zone and Brownfields Assessment Pilot, respectively. Neighborhoods near these areas are characterized by low-income households, old housing, and vacant buildings. Unemployment is 14 perecent and the poverty rate is 25 percent. A former industrial center, the city has declined along with the decline of the steel industry, resulting in the abandonment of many factories and mill sites. Redevelopment activities are now occurring at major sites in the city. The 220-hour pilot training program will consist of health and safety, lead abatement, asbestos abatement, brownfields and environmental justice, construction trades, and innovative treatment technologies. The city of Gary has a first-source hiring ordinance that requires environmental contractors to hire residents from the city.
City of Cincinnati, Ohio
With the $200,000 Brownfields Job Training and Development grant, the city of Cincinnati plans to train 75 participants recruited from unemployed and underemployed residents in areas affected by brownfields. Undeveloped brownfields plague the low-income, ethic minority, and disadvantaged urban cores in the city of Cincinnati and Hamilton County. Redevelopment activities are being generated through the activities of two Brownfields Assessment Pilots, a state Enterprise Zone, and a federal Empowerment Zone. While the redevelopment of brownfields is retaining businesses, the city's Office of Environmental Management has found that there is a lack of community residents with adequate skills to participate in brownfields assessment and remediation projects. The 224-hour pilot training program will consist of health and safety, emergency response, innovative remediation technologies, lead abatement, incident command, and technology demonstrations. On-the-job training will be provided by local environmental employers.
Hawkeye Community College, Waterloo, Iowa
With the $200,000 Brownfields Job Training and Development grant, Hawkeye Community College plans to train 40 participants recruited from unemployed and underemployed residents of Waterloo's Rath neighborhood, which is just south of the central business district. Fifteen percent of residents in this neighborhood are unemployed, and a third of the households receive public assistance. Waterloo's economy and population declined in the 1980s as a result of changes in the meatpacking industry, leaving many properties vacant or underused. In recent years, Waterloo's economy has become more diversified, and redevelopment activities are being spurred by the Brownfields Assessment Pilot, a state Enterprise Zone, and a Consolidated Urban Revitalization Zone. The 254-hour pilot training program will consist of ecosystem restoration, innovative remediation technologies, hazardous waste handling, lead abatement, asbestos abatement, and health and safety. Local environmental contractors are very interested in hiring trained environmental technicians.
Montana Tech of the University of Montana, Butte, Montana
With the $200,000 Brownfields Job Training and Development grant, Montana Tech plans to train 60 participants recruited from unemployed and underemployed residents of the Crow Indian Reservation. Unemployment among the 7,900 tribal members living on the Crow Indian Reservation has ranged from 60 percent to 85 percent over the last ten years. The community was severely impacted from abandonment of the Big Horn Carpet Mill in 1974. A Phase II assessment of the site is scheduled to begin soon. The Crow Indians have a natural resources-based economy, and major employers on the Reservation are linked to the environment and environmental preservation. The two-year Pilot training program will consist of three certification tracks for hazardous waste specialist, remediation specialist, and ecosystem management and policy specialist. All tracks include training in health and safety and the use of innovative assessment and cleanup technologies. With proper environmental training, Tribal natural resources can be preserved for future generations while providing job opportunities for impoverished residents of the reservation.
Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation, Nespelem, Washington
With the $200,000 Brownfields Job Training and Development grant, the Confederated Tribes of the Colville Reservation will train 40 participants recruited from low-income residents of the Colville Reservation. The reservation is located in a remote area of north-central Washington near the Canadian border. Half of the 8,500 Tribal members live on the reservation, where unemployment is 45%. The Indian Health Service has identified 10 brownfields and the Tribal Planning Department has identified 173 illegal dump sites on the reservation. Housing, infrastructure, and economic redevelopment projects are occurring through the activities of the Brownfields Assessment Pilot and a federal Enterprise Community. The 224-hour pilot hazardous materials technician training program will consist of health and safety, lead abatement, asbestos abatement, spill response, innovative technologies, and advanced site assessment. Training is needed for local residents to enable the tribe to address brownfields and other contamination problems on the reservation.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam -- Returning from a historic trip to Vietnam, President Clinton said Sunday that ''a big welcome'' awaits Americans in this struggling communist nation as it looks with hope to the future without bitterness about the wartime past.
''The years of animosity are past,'' Clinton said, a quarter century after the Vietnam War ended with a communist takeover of U.S.-backed South Vietnam. ''Today we have a shared interest in your well-being and your prosperity.''
Clinton urged Vietnam to open its economy and allow greater individual freedoms. Despite Clinton's optimism, Vietnam's powerful Communist Party chief, Le Kha Phieu, expressed wariness about economic reforms and America's involvement in Vietnam.
Phieu emphatically stated that while the former Soviet Union has crumbled, the socialist system in Vietnam still stands, Clinton's economic adviser Gene Sperling said, recounting the talks Saturday in Hanoi.
''What was the cause of our resistance against foreign aggression,'' the Communist Party newspaper Nhan Dan quoted Phieu as telling Clinton. ''The root cause was because imperalism colonized other countries.''
In an interview with CNN, Clinton said he had ''a nice little debate'' with Phieu about the United States and ''stoutly disputed that we were an imperialist country. We had never had any imperialist designs here.''
Clinton said the trend toward freedom in Vietnam ''is virtually irreversible ... And as you can see in the streets, there is a lot of goodwill toward America here.''
The president flew back to a nation still uncertain whether it will be George W. Bush or Al Gore who takes Clinton's place on Jan. 20.
''I don't think we should have all this hand-wringing, dire predictions,'' Clinton said in the CNN interview broadcast on Sunday. ''We've got a system that's under way and you know ... these guys, the advocates for either side, are under enormous pressure and, of course, they are being pretty snippy with each other from time to time.''
Departing Ho Chi Minh City on Sunday, Air Force One was loaded with silks, purses, paintings, lacquer ware and other gifts purchased by the presidential entourage on a 22,192-mile, weeklong trip to an Asian summit in Brunei and the groundbreaking stop in Vietnam.
Clinton's plane was stopping in Alaska to refuel, with a scheduled arrival in Washington before dawn Monday.
''I am going home determined to continue the partnership we have for a better future for the people of Vietnam, the people of the United States and all those whom we can reach together,'' Clinton told a group of business leaders just before his departure.
Clinton was the first president to visit this country since 1969 and the first ever to stop in Hanoi. While he spoke hopefully of the future, there were reminders of the painful past.
During his stay he visited an excavation site near Hanoi, where searchers probed the mud for the remains of a U.S. pilot shot down 33 years ago. He met with children disfigured by forgotten land mines. And he watched silently as the remains of three MIAs began the journey home.
In a gesture for religious freedom, Clinton met Sunday with Jean-Baptiste Pham Minh Man, the Roman Catholic archbishop of Ho Chi Minh City.
White House officials said they spoke of problems the archbishop faces in a country where international human rights groups and the State Department cite a pattern of harassment and imprisonment of Buddhist and other religious leaders.
Earlier Sunday, he plunged into crowds in a narrow shopping street, shaking hands and stopping at open-front markets to buy last-minute gifts. To a generation of American GIs, this bustling city of 5 million people was known as Saigon before its surrender to communist forces in America's most humiliating military defeat.

Vietnam Experience » Review by Gillett2
Overall a fantastic trip, we had the best tour manager 'Hugh' who knew is stuff and was a lot of fun but still very professional. This contiki group was a lot of and very mixed which was great. There was also a great mix of activities and lots included for the price of the tour. The hotels were not bad either and were very centrally located. I recommend the 12 day tour over the 10, as the home stay, chu chi tunnels and mekong delta cruise was fantastic and a great way to bond at an early stage of the tour.
Thanks Contiki

With the DACS Clarity MicAmp 500, what you hear in the live room is what you get in the control room. This ultra-low noise microphone amplifier delivers very fine detail, and a strikingly realistic sound. The frequency response is flat (for non phantom mode) down to below 1Hz at the bottom and does not start its tailored high frequency roll-off until above 45kHz. The CMRR (common-mode rejection ratio) is hand trimmed at mid and high frequencies to very high tolerances.
Working with the DACS Clarity MicAmp 500 is brilliantly straight forward in any 500 series chassis. The MicAmp 500 has a twelve position self-cleaning rotary switch that sets gain in 4dB steps from 20dB to 64dB. This coupled with the detailed scaling on the trim control makes settings easily repeatable.There is ultra-fast protection on the input so that any fault condition doesn't damage the amplifier circuitry.
The three position bass roll off switch offers a flat response and the option of two cut-off points at a nominal 30Hz and 80Hz. The cut-off point and slope of the filters have been designed to give a wonderfully smooth response.This response is maintained when removing the low rumble with the roll-off set to 30Hz and the same is applied when dealing with more mains type noise on the 80Hz setting. In addition the filters have no effect above their cut-off frequency. The balanced output is a fully floating servo type output which delivers the same level into a balanced or unbalanced destination. The output's balance is hand trimmed to +/-1% accuracy and can delivery up to +22dB into 600R.

November 23-24: All libraries will be closed for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Great Gardening Techniques
April 25, 2014
Ah spring...warm weather, buds on the trees, tulips sprouting...oh no, it's already time to get the gardens ready?!?!
That's usually how my spring goes. If you go from zero to panic like me, you might want to head over to the Golden Library in the next couple of weeks. We've got a CSU-trained Master Gardener who will be conducting two workshops that will help out all those who aspire to have a green thumb.
The first will focus on picking the best plants for transplanting and proper techniques, and the second will be all about creating fabulous container gardens.
There will be time at the end of both sessions for questions too!

Tuska Open Air 2011
Suvilahti, Helsinki, Finland
July 22-24, 2011
Review by Arto Lehtinen, Petri Seppänen Da Costa
Pics by Arto Lehtinen, Sini Huotari
The Tuska Open Air Festival has become one kind of institution amongst all metal festivals in Europe. Tuska was previously arranged in the heart of Helsinki in the central park Kaisaniemi during the past 10 years. The park underwent construction to have a better environment and other mandatory improvements. The organization of Tuska didn't have a choice but to find and switch the whole festival to a new area. This new area is still located in Helsinki, but only a few kilometers away, to a place called Suvilahti. Having this area was definitely a big part of the whole idea and concept of Tuska. The Kaisaniemi park brought an intimate picnic and park feeling with the grass and trees. Whereas Suvilahti was more like an industrial environment with the burning and redhot asphalt under the feet.
Another thing forcing Tuska to make a change was the date. Originally the festival was supposed to be in the beginning of July, but another big more international based festival took over the date and Tuska was postponed until three weeks later. Well at least some people got pissed off at the changed date. Obviously a few band negotiations needed to start all over. Hopefully Tuska will return back to the original date. However, the line-up looked amazing after all. Morbid Angel and Amon Amarth were headliners, so was Devin Townsend once again. Cult metal bands like Hell, Bulldozer and then something type of stuff such as Jex Thoth, Church Of Misery. The festival was an utter success although the event wasn't sold out. All in all 28000 people visited Tuska during three days.
Metal-Rules.com was present to check out a lot of bands and check out the new Tuska area.

I did the New 3.1-4.1 Softmod for ANY Wii Tutorial everything went fine . i burnt mario kart using imgburn using 2.4x and 4x burning speed on a TDK
DVD-R and when i use Neogamma to load it i get dvd read error (1101)
i have searched every where to find the answer and cant get one please help me
Error 1101 is a DVD read error, but not a very specific one. Some have fixed it by using Verbatim DVD-R discs, ImgBurn at 2.4X, others have had to use NeoGamma R6 and cIOS36rev10, still others switched their NeoGammaR7/cIOS38rev14 systems to play from an external HDD. Hope one of these options works for you.

Barley's Taproom and Pizzeria has announced their intention to open a new venue in Downtown Maryville, in the old Roy's Record Shop building. Barley's owner Randy Burleson says they will adjust the format to meet the needs of clientele in Maryville and Blount County. The music will be upstairs, separate from the dining room, and the shows will start much earlier, around 7 or 8 PM. There will still be pool tables, again upstairs.
Barley's isn't a replacement for the loss of Tomato Head, but it will be a great addition to Downtown. They even say they'll be open for lunch. I do wish they would add a small outdoor patio out front.
Sunspot food
The Daily Times article quotes the owner as saying there will be Sunspot food at Barley's Maryville. This is good, as the loss of Tomato Head means the loss of any place to eat if you are not a meateater or addicted to french fries.
Wonderful. I did not know
Wonderful. I did not know the offerings of Sunspot. I've only been there once, probably five + years ago.

New York is awash with sublease Office Space
The New York office market and many of the landmark towers are currently awash with sublease office space. In Midtown Manhattan which is populated by some of the world's biggest and most important financial institutions, there is sublease space available in 75% of the towers themselves. And those landlords who have space available are not always finding it easy to get the space filled, such is the large volume of vacancies. In midtown, the vacancy rate for class A space – that is highly desirable offices in prestigious locations, was 13%. This is up from just over six and a half percent a year ago.
In fact sublet space now accounts for 40 percent of all available space in midtown. Compare this with the figure of 30% a year ago – with the total amount of available space much lower. In many cases the lease for the original deal was barely completed when the companies within the buildings needed to sublease space as they contracted. In some cases companies are having to spend money on their vacant space to make it more attractive to potential tenants or offer a generous work allowance so that new tenants can make improvements. In some cases, a reorganisation of furniture or a lick of paint is all that maybe needed. Making smaller blocks of space is also likely to increase the chances of securing a sublet. It may even mean moving current employees to less desirable areas of the building!

text: Just found this out on my recent visit... It's unfortunate that this up and coming eatery is no longer employing the cook that prepared the exceptional cooking highlighted in this review! Seems he is no longer employed there, where is he? I will definitely follow him as he has a flare for combining common ingredients to conjure up unique flavors with a mediterranean influence that made this tiny establishment a city treasure. I will not be visiting again as the quality is not worth the price with the current cooking staff. Their loss...the city's also. Please let us know what lucky restaurant scooped him up!

If that is what EJ is doing then swell, I'd welcome that as his asshat payback for not knowing the baby was his, but alas, this great idea will most likely not come to fruition and will only be a bone for some to chew on for the moment.

Issue Theme: Special Issue: The Future of Rhetoric and Composition
From the Editor: Designing the Future
Kathleen Blake Yancey
Franchising the Future
Gregory G. Colomb
Central to the future of rhetoric and composition (or writing studies or whatever label we use) is the service mission of composition: to teach students to write. But that term service has not and will not serve us well. This essay examines the limitations and dangers of a service mission and explores a different model, that of a franchise, a public trust thatlicenses us to control the largest block of classes on most campuses but also makes us responsible for the nation's ability to write. The franchise model carries its own limitations,but it may also point to possibilities of great new promise and familiar danger.
The Place of Creative Writing in Composition Studies
Douglas Hesse
For different reasons, composition studies and creative writing have resisted one another. Despite a historically thin discourse about creative writing within College Compositionand Communication, the relationship now merits attention. The two fields' common interest should link them in a richer, more coherent view of writing for each other, forstudents, and for policymakers. As digital tools and media expand the nature and circulation of texts, composition studies should pay more attention to craft and to composingtexts not created in response to rhetorical situations or for scholars.
Disciplinarity, Divorce, and the Displacement of Labor Issues: Rereading Histories of Composition and Literature
Melissa Ianetta
This essay argues that a trend in histories of literary and writing studies is to bifurcate the origins of the fields and so engage in those modernist narrative fallacies describedby Jean-François Lyotard. Such works limit our understanding of past practices and the longstanding connections between disciplinarity and labor.
Responsibility and Composition's Future in the Twenty-first Century: Reframing "Accountability"
Linda Adler-Kassner and Susanmarie Harrington
"Accountability" is widely used in discussions about what should be happening in school, but it is not an appropriate guiding concept for assessments designed to improveteaching and learning. This article examines discussions about assessment for internal and external purposes; it then outlines an alternative frame for assessment that has "responsibility" as its core.
Composition 2.0: Toward a Multilingual and Multimodal Framework
Steven Fraiberg
This article argues that tracing multimodal-multilingual literacy practices across official and unofficial spaces is key to moving composition into the twenty-first century. Key tothis remixing of the field is a situated framework that locates multimodal-multilingual activities in wider genre, cultural, national, and global ecologies.
Seeking New Worlds: The Study of Writing beyond Our Classrooms
Bronwyn T. Williams
As new ways of creating and interpreting texts complicate ideas of how and why writing happens, the field of rhetoric and composition needs to be more conscious of how ourinstitutional responsibilities and scholarly attention to college writing have limited its vision of writing and literacy. It is time to move beyond consolidating our identity asa field focused on college writing, reach out to other literacy-related fields, and form a broader, more comprehensive, and more flexible identity as part of a larger field ofliteracy and rhetorical studies.
SPECIAL SECTION: Forum, Newsletter for Issues about Part-Time and Contingent Faculty
Writing in High School/Writing in College: Research Trends and Future Directions
Joanne Addison and Sharon James McGee
This article synthesizes and extends data from some of the most prominent and promising large-scale research projects in writing studies while also presenting results fromthe authors' own research. By juxtaposing these studies, the authors offer a complex understanding of writing practices at the high school and college level. Future directionsare suggested in light of these research findings.
Making the Case for Disciplinarity in Rhetoric, Composition, and Writing Studies: The Visibility Project
Louise Wetherbee Phelps and John M. Ackerman
In the Visibility Project, professional organizations have worked to gain recognition for the disciplinarity of writing and rhetoric studies through representation of the fieldin the information codes and databases of higher education. We report success in two important cases: recognition as an "emerging field" in the National Research Council'staxonomy of research disciplines; and the assignment of a code series to rhetoric and composition/writing studies in the federal Classification of Instructional Programs(CIP). We analyze the rhetorical strategies and implications of each case and call for continuing efforts to develop and implement a "digital strategy" for handling data aboutthe field and its representation in information networks.

Animation shows noise resulting from a single shot from a shotgun. Noise is assumed to be present continuously, with orientation of the gun rotating as seen by black bar at the center. Noise source data was taken from an example in the International Standards Organization for firing range noise.
Test shots were fired from Foster Ranch, the proposed site for a Game and Fish shooting range, and recorded during this testing period. This is an audio recording of the shots heard from Walnut Canyon National Monument. This test was done in August 2010.
Foundation Document, approved 2015.
This document provides basic guidance for planning and management decisions. It includes a brief description of the park, as well as the park's purpose, significance, resources and values, and interpretive themes.

Hi I'll be in Paris for the first time August 5-11 with my mom. Neither of us have any idea where to go to eat that will be open.
Aux Anysetiers du Roy at Rue St. Louis en L'ile (3 course lunch 15Euro)
Le Petit Picard (Closed for lunch Sat/Sun/Mon) (3 Course lunch and wine 10.50Euros)
^^after a day of research I have only two places which may or may not be open that look budget friendly and delicious and I dont even know if they'll be open! pretty frustrating. The thing is we rarely eat chicken or beef, so we'd be interested in places that serve good fish dishes or have vegetarian options. But we would prefer fish :)
If you all have any ideas let me know please.

Having another giant Seattle mug full of this. 1TB/12oz water. I hereby name this ratio detoxifying matcha!
Now I'm probably gonna get struck by lightening, but I was reading my Bible this morning and came up with this parody of 1st Corinthians 4-7:
"Matcha is patient, matcha is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Matcha does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
Matcha is truly a gift from God- especially on days like today:)

The Central Mosque of Charleston is the largest Muslim Mosque in the tri-county area. It has it's own web site www.charlestonmuslims.com and its members come from virtually all over the world. Imam Mohammed Melhem often lectures to Muslims as well as non-Muslims and the members of the Mosque are very proactive. If non-Muslims want to learn more about Islam and not feel intimidated in any way...they need to visit the Central Mosque of Charleston. The President of the Mosque is an African American and invites all to visit the Mosque. The Mosque has lectures, pot luck dinners, five daily prayers, and a Sunday School. The people who attend the Mosque are friendly and enjoy the Friday Prayers, which takes place on Fridays between 1:30pm-2:00pm.

On a separate note, sounds very much like The Arctic Monkeys' "Brainstorm" during and after the chorus...
The literal meaning.
The lyrics in the first verse and the chorus appear to be about two guys walking down the very famous Avenue des Champs-Élysées in Paris. 'Getting down" (dancing and/or flirting) with the female pedestrians walking by, and then sweetly asking them to 'Please my darling could you take of your shirt". Still being sleazy, they go around asking women if they speak French and if they do "then go on and take your shirt off!". Now in the second verse the guys keep egging the women on, and it works. The guys start bragging about how they're creating a buzz, with the women going alone with what they ask.
Now, the music video shows two rival mimes in a western, continuously tryin' to kill each other in an endless loop.
I believe it could be how societies, try to out do each other, in attracting people, with fads and trends..

Bookshelf: Celebrity portrait photographer and filmmaker Jamie-James Medina shows us his literary inspiration
Wow, what an honour this is! Jamie-James Medina, portrait photographer of all manner of greats and apparent boxing enthusiast has kindly taken us on an in-depth journey into his unsurprisingly photography-laden bookshelf. From Gilbert & George to 50 Cent, from Christopher Hitchens to Lady Gaga, Medina has shot some of the most revolutionary icons of our time in a polite, sombre style that is utterly his own.
Now, tear your eyes away from that enviable dog and parquet floor for a moment and have a read of this – if it hasn't inspired you to go and take some photographs by the end of it then you obviously haven't read it properly.
Leonard Freed: Leonard Freed: Photographs 1954-1990
My GCSE photography teacher introduced me to this book and these images have stayed with me ever since. The book, an early retrospective, followed Freed as he travelled the world documenting his early trips to Amsterdam and Germany, his take on race in America during the 60s, time spent photographing Hasidic Jews as well as the KKK and images from his earlier book Police Work. Freed describes his early life, as "hitch-hiking around, doing nothing in particular. After a while, it gets very boring if you don't have a purpose." I understood that photography became his "purpose" and I took that on.
Working with a Leica camera, shooting in black and white, Freed always seemed to mix personal street photography or snap shots with 'serious' photojournalism; two priests lost in a snowball fight in Rome or the skeleton of a soldier; a victim of Israel's six-day war in 1967, lying in uniform on a beach in the foreground, while a man heads towards the waves in the distance. Freed's photographs seemed more approachable and believable and more doable than the beautiful compositions of Sebastiao Salgado or the relentless reality of James Nachtway. He taught me that the camera alows you to "wander around with a purpose" and for that I'm very grateful.

2. Nicole LeBlanc: Random Family: Love, Drugs, Trouble and Coming of Age in the Bronx
I only read non-fiction and this is one my favourite books. I moved to the Bronx, New York from London, England 5 years ago and someone suggested I read this book. The writer spent over a decade documenting the struggles of one family in the Bronx, tracing the effects of crime and poverty on love and commitment across generations. The result is a beautiful and tragic story that unfolds like a real-life soap opera – just brilliant, brilliant storytelling here. Its a shame that it takes LeBlanc so long to write books because I'm desperate to read her follow-up, which explores the world of stand-up comedians.
Nicole LeBlanc: Random Family: Love, Drugs, Trouble and Coming of Age in the Bronx
LIFE Magazine. July, 1988.
I collect magazines – old LIFE Magazines (anything featuring the work of W. Eugene Smith) and old Rolling Stone and Vanity Fair (featuring anything by Annie Leibovitz). This has to be my favourite issue of any magazine ever. Along with a brilliant cover story documenting newlyweds Mike Tyson and Robin Givens (the marriage lasted less than a year, with Givens claiming spousal abuse. Tyson later admitted that Givens received his best ever punch, "She flew backwards, hitting every wall in the apartment. That was the best punch I've ever thrown in my entire life."), this issue features Crack, the original photo-essay that became Eugene Richards' legendary book Cocaine True, Cocaine Blue. Further into the issue you find features celebrating 1,000 years of Christianity in Russia, a story detailing Japan's obsession with France (who knew?) and a ridiculous story titled "Stallone Alone, An amazing side of the actor; his art", which showcases Sly Stallone's impressive art collection and not so impressive personal work.
Celebrities will never give the media the kind of access Tyson and Givens (and Stallone) offered LIFE, editors will never allow (fund) photographers like Richards to start dangerous, long-term stories that will one-day become defining bodies of work and we'll never see this kind of variety (and quality) in one publication again.
I love making things and I love people that make things, so I try to collect as many self-published books and zines as I can. Editorial photography and advertising can get so big and complicated, its easy to forget how simple and fun being creative is. I love collecting Noah Lyon's brilliant Retard Riot zines, limited edition photocopied comic strips that just explode off the page, or finding something like Land of America by Ben Pobjoy, a photographer that randomly decided to travel Greyhound non-stop from Montreal to Mexico and back, documenting the people and places he met along the way. The result is an alternative travel memoir and photographic portrait of adventure itself. If I'm ever feeling lazy, these publications remind me that people are out there doing interesting and exciting things while I'm waiting for the phone to ring.
Boxing books
Outside of photography I love music and I love boxing. I take a lot of photos of music and musicians, but I try to never photograph boxing. The victory, the defeats, the audience, the lighting – its catnip for writers and photographers but I just want to enjoy it. That doesn't stop me looking at other photographs of boxing like RINGSIDE by Jimmy Fox, which is brilliant. Fox worked as an editor at the Magnum agency and would sneak off to photograph the world of boxing at night over the course of 30 years to create this portrait of the sport. I do believe that boxing is an intellectual sport and I love getting lost in that world; Norman Mailer, A.J. Liebling, Gay Talese and David Remnick – all exceptional writers that focused on the sport. I can waste days reading this stuff and analysing fights.

Update: Driver rams into corrections office, starts fire with incendiary bomb
Early Monday morning an unidentified person drove his or her vehicle into the front of the Wisconsin Community Corrections office and then lobbed a device into the office to start a fire.
The person is also suspected of slashing the tires on several state vehicles parked outside of the office which is located at 2100 O'Neil Road in the St. Croix Business Park.
According to the Hudson Police Department the incident took place sometime between 5:10 a.m. and 6:25 a.m.
HPD Chief Marty Jensen said that after smashing into the front doors, a device was thrown into the front foyer which started a fire. The fire was quickly put out by the sprinkler system, however, there was severe damage to the foyer and some adjoining rooms. Police were not releasing any information about the device.
Jensen said that the vehicle involved will have front end damage and would likely have left the area traveling at a high rate of speed. There would also be broken glass on the hood of the vehicle.
HPD Sgt. Glen Hartman said they are investigating several persons of interest from the corrections officers' client lists. The department will be receiving assistance from the state Department of Criminal Investigation and the State Fire Marshal's office.
Probation and parole agents operate out of the office to supervise offenders in the community, and provide investigative services to the courts, Division of Adult Institutions, and Parole Commission. The office will be conducting business from temporary offices at the St.Croix County Government Center until the investigation is completed and repairs can be made.
There are no security cameras in or outside of the office.
@sub:Stolen car
@t:The St. Croix County Sheriff's Department is investigating a car fire that took place around the time of the corrections office crash in the area of River Crest School on County F. The car was reported stolen to the River Falls Police Department around 5 a.m. on Monday.
HPD Sgt. Pete Schultz said it is not yet known if the vehicle was involved in the corrections office crash.
Hudson police are asking anyone with information about this incident or who may have seen anything suspicious in the area to call the Hudson Police Department at (715) 386-4771.

In 2006, SilverStone launched the Temjin TJ08, an impressive micro-ATX tower case with then unheard of dual 120mm fan configuration. It helped pioneered the idea of big tower cooling performance in small packages. Five years later, improved technology and design has enabled SilverStone engineers to create another pioneering small tower case in the TJ08 Evolution (TJ08-E). To improve cooling performance, a class leading "Air Penetrator" 180mm fan was installed behind the front panel to create virtual airflow tunnel with positive air pressure, which also improves quietness and dust prevention.
Standard enthusiast features retained or improved include removable motherboard tray and top panel, CPU back plate cutout, all black painted interior, removable filters for all intake vents, and beautifully finished aluminum front panel. Features unique to the TJ08-E are its ability to accommodate long cables from high-end power supply and storage room for one 2.5" hard drive and up to five 3.5" hard drives. If you are looking for a classic, cleanly styled premium micro-ATX tower with the latest chassis construction technology to house top-of-the-line components, the TJ08-E is it.

2 day in Tokyo with JR pass - need to buy a one-day pass in Tokyo?
Hi there
My family of 5 will be in Tokyo on 13 & 14 Dec. Here is our planned itinerary.
13 Dec - One-day Tokyo Disneyland
Do we need to purchase any one-day pass in Tokyo for the above itinerary?
Hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks again!
Hi there!
Yes, the JR Pass does cover the LTD Thunderbird so you should be fine with that route I think.
As you will have the JR Pass active in Tokyo on the 14th for your trip to Osaka, I recommend you use the Tokyo JR lines to get around and purchase extra single metro tickets as needed, for example between JR Ueno station and Asakusa/skytree on the yellow Ginza line. Shinjuku and Shibuya are bot accessible using the JR Yamanote or JR Chuo lines from Ueno station.
Hope this helps!

(Adds details about units halted, context)
PARAGUANA/HOUSTON, May 29 (Reuters) - Venezuela's Paraguana Refining Center (CRP), site of the Amuay and Cardon refineries, reduced operations to 62 percent of capacity from 67 percent in March, after halting some units this month for maintenance, according to a PDVSA document seen by Reuters on Thursday.
The 310,000 barrel per day (bpd) Cardon refinery, which was working at 86 percent capacity two months ago, reduced its operations to 68 percent, processing 210,000 bpd of crude after starting a planned maintenance at one of its crude distillation units.
Other smaller units were also halted as part of the maintenance plan, and PDVSA has not said how long that will last. Two hydrotreaters were out of service or working partially because of failures, according to the document. A total of 14 plants were not working as of May 27.
The 645,000 bpd Amuay refinery, Venezuela's largest facility, is operating at 59 percent capacity, without significant changes in comparison with March.
One of its alkylation units and the isomerization unit are being prepared for restart in the coming days, but the facility is having water shortage problems that forced state-run PDVSA to halt one of the units that produces oxygenates for finished fuels (TAME) several weeks ago.
In total, Amuay has 16 units out of service compared with five units halted at the end of March. The 16,000 bpd Bajo Grande refinery, connected through pipelines to the CRP, is also out of service. PDVSA has been seeking fuel cargoes to buy on the open market in recent weeks because of its refinery problems, amid growing domestic demand.
Earlier this month, the company halted the fluid catalytic cracker of the 146,000 bpd El Palito refinery for unplanned maintenance that is still under way. (Reporting by Sailu Urribarri in Paraguana and Marianna Parraga in Houston; editing by Terry Wade and Tom Brown)

Only one in three of us are predicted to turn out.
Yet 83 candidates will be scrapping for every single Lancashire vote in the European elections on May 22.
And, as in other parts of the UK, one big question facing electors here will be: can UKIP win the battle for Europe - even though they don't want to be there in the first place?
Nigel Farage's party has stormed ahead in some polls, with some commentators predicting a spectacular victory ahead of Labour. The Conservatives, who triumphed in 2009, were tipped to finish in third.
Lancashire's voters are grouped with Cumbria, Cheshire, Greater Manchester and Merseyside in the North West region to elect just eight MEPs through proportional representation (PR).
Ten parties are putting up eight candidates each in the region. An 11th - the Pirate Party UK - is fielding three.
Under the PR system electors vote for a party, not an individual. The total vote for each party in the region will decide how many of the North West's eight seats they take, with candidates listed in order of preference.
Five years ago, the Tories took three in the North West, with Labour bagging two, the Liberal Democrats one, UKIP one and British National Party leader Nick Griffin taking the other.
Three of those MEPs elected in 2009 are standing down. Labour's Arlene McCarthy and Brian Simpson have decided not to seek re-election, while perhaps the most prominent of all, Sir Robert Atkins, has called time on his political career after 33 years in Westminster and Brussels.
"It has been hard work, frustrating at times, satisfying at others," said the former Preston North and then South Ribble MP who was Sports Minister in the early nineties. "You may not like the European Parliament, but be under no illusions, it matters. You may not know as much about it as you would like, but you cannot ignore it. It is very significant in its influence."
The remaining five North West MEPs are all seeking re-election. Conservatives Jacqueline Foster from Wirral and Burnley solicitor Sajjad Karim are the party's top two picks.
Nick Griffin, the BNP's only serving MEP, is standing again in the North West, where his party won eight per cent of the vote (132,194) five years ago.
Lytham-born Chris Davies tops the Lib Dems' candidate list and UKIP deputy leader Paul Nuttall, from Bootle, will go again, hoping the surge in support for his party will mean he is not UKIP's only North West MEP by the end of the month. He told a press conference he expects three will be elected in the region on May 22. "If we continue on the upward trajectory it could be four," he claimed.
Simon Noble, a former Conservative county councillor in Lancashire, who lives in Oakenclough near Garstang, is sixth pick for UKIP in the North West, meaning the party would need a landslide victory for him to be elected.
Lancashire can boast the youngest European candidate in the entire country in this year's election, with 24-year-old Joe Barker-Willis from Morecambe one of the Conservatives' eight-strong field. The Morecambe High School head boy in 2008 is No 5 on the Tory list.
University of Central Lancashire lecturer Wajid Khan, who teaches about the European Union, is one of Labour's candidates, along with Theresa Griffin who has been on the Labour list in previous Euro elections.
The Green Party candidates include three who live in Lancashire and a fourth who works as a lecturer here. County councillor Gina Dowding, who represents Lancaster Central at County Hall, is second on the Greens' list. University professor Ulrike Zeshan, 43, who lives in Broughton, Preston.
Other parties fielding candidates in the North West are An Independence from Europe, English Democrats, No2EU and the Socialist Equality Party. For the full list of nominations, see www.preston.gov.uk
