|User Account Sharing
|Current forum users are prohibited from sharing their accounts with probationary or permanently banned users. Violation of this rule will result in the suspension of the current user's account and the permanent banning of the probationary user's account. If for one reason or another a current user needs to share their account with another current user, they must notify an administrator to have the matter cleared.
|Image Posting Guidelines
|Photos of women that are not at least wearing proper bikini bottoms (no thongs, g-strings, etc) and have a properly covered top half will be deleted. If a poster persists in posting such photos, they will be infracted and from there will be probated and then banned if they continue. Genitals, pubes, nipples and breasts must be covered and the cloth not see-through. Photos of males are subject to the same rules and must not contain bulges in the lower region.
|Hotlinking is when you directly post an image from a website. Many websites see this as you "stealing" their bandwidth and will sometimes retaliate by automatically replacing the intended image with another when it's posted. These images range from simple caution messages to disturbingly graphic images. If you choose to hotlink and your image is replaced by a graphic/pornographic/inappropriate image, you will be banned. This can be easily avoided by re-hosting all images at a site such as ImageShack or PhotoBucket.
|Any excessive fighting or heated arguing between any number of posters that includes harassment of any kind may result in the closing of the thread, warnings issued to all involved users, probation, or possibly banning.
Harassment is defined in Webster's dictionary as 'to annoy persistently' and includes name-calling, instigation of others, and bigoted remarks. This includes, but is not limited to, derogatory remarks about another's race, gender, religion, sexuality, or country of origin.
|External Links
|Posting external links that contain material that breaks any of SuperHeroHype's rules may result in a warning, probation or account ban. Posting links to other message boards may result in deletion of the link and a warning. Repeated violations of this rule may result in probation or banning.
|Private Messages
|Private messages between two people must be kept private unless both parties obtain written permission. (Written permission must be provided in case of any discrepancy.) Violation of this rule results in deletion of the post/s, a warning, and/or possible probation. Repeated violation of this rule may result in another probation, prolonged probation, or banning.
|Pornography is not allowed either in video, picture or written form. In pictures, showing the female nipple or the genitalia or bare buttocks of either sex is considered pornography. Violation of this rule results in a warning, probation, or permanent banning depending on the material and situation.
|Probation Duration
|The length of probation is up to the admin/mod taking action at the time. Typically seven (7) to ten (10) days for initial infractions. For major infractions, the account may be under probation for longer periods, or banned immediately. For returning to the boards after being banned and continuing to break the rules, you may either be banned again, or have your IP banned and/or your IP provider may be contacted.
|Signature Rule
|Signatures can be no larger than 5 or 6 lines in normal font size. Multiple lines of extra large type [size 5 or higher] or excessive spacing is NOT permitted. If you choose to have more lines, or wish to have two or more YouTube videos in your sig as well, you may do so, providing you place it in a spoiler tag. Violators will be warned ONCE to change the sig. If the sig is not fixed, the poster will lose the ability to have a signature.
|Spam is defined as posts that are inconsistent with the other thread or forum dialogue. Spamming may result in a warning or probation. Continued spamming may result in banning.
|Trolling is considered the starting of a thread or posting in an established thread or forum for the express purpose of ticking off as many people as possible that would normally be reading that thread or forum. Trolling can result in a warning or probation. Continued trolling may result in banning.
|Violations of Probations and Banning
|If you are on probation, you may not post under any account for the amount of days for which you are on probation. Violation of this probation will result in the permanent banning of your ORIGINAL account (permanent loss of entire post count, avatars, etc.,) and an extension of your probation to your NEW name. Continued violation of this rule may result in IP banning. If you are permanently banned, you may not return to SuperHeroHype. Note: the administrators and moderators can tell if you hold more than one account.
|Excessive language is not tolerated. Inappropriate language is automatically filtered. Inappropriate context, however, is not, but still should not be used. Bypassing the filter may result in either a warning or automatic probation. Repeated violations of this rule may result in account banning.
|Warnings and Infractions
|Administrators and moderators make use of warnings and infractions to help troubled users. Both measures are designed to reinforce forum protocol. However, warnings serve as simple reminders, while infractions carry a stronger caution and will more readily lead to probation and banning. These instruments give users a chance to modify their posting habits before probation or banning is deemed necessary. Neither warnings or infractions are required to be issued before probation or banning occurs. This is at the discretion of the administrator or moderator taking action at the time.
|Copyright Infringement
|Pirated Material Is Prohibited; The Three-Strike Rule:
The posting or distribution of unauthorized copies of intellectual property such as movies, television, music, games, comics and software programs is prohibited. (See Terms of Use Agreement, Section 5 "User Content" http://www.craveonline.com/termsofuse?site=www.superherohype.com"). When a copyright owner provides CraveOnline Media, LLC, owner and operator of SuperHeroHype (the "Company") with written notice that a user does not have permission to post the copyright owner's content, the Company is required by law to remove or disable the content. If the Company receives a legal notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") asking the Company to take down content that you have posted or made available, the content will be removed or disabled and you will receive a "strike" against your account. If you receive three unresolved strikes, your account will be terminated and you will not be allowed to create a new account.
How to Resolve a Strike:
How to Submit a DMCA Counter Notification:
• The user's physical or electronic signature;
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that content was removed or disabled due to mistake or misidentification may be liable for damages. The counter notification must be submitted by the original uploader of the content or by an attorney or other agent authorized to act on his or her behalf. The Company will forward the counter notification, including the user's name and contact information, to the person or entity that filed the DMCA notice, which person or entity may file a lawsuit against the member for copyright infringement. If the Company does not receive notice that a lawsuit has been filed within ten business days after we send the counter notification, the Company will restore the removed content.
|Violent or Gruesome imagery
|Images depicting R-rated violence or worse, real violence, are not permitted on this site. Also, any gruesome images showing humans or animals who are wounded, injured or disfigured, are not allowed.
|Heightened Attention for Problem Users
|In addition to the use of infractions and probations, users who are habitually in receipt of staff attention will find themselves placed on one of the two lists covered below.
The Watchlist is comprised of users that, through their actions, have been deemed problematic by the staff. Watchlist inhabitants who remain disruptive (measured by continuing to amass infractions) will be cited with two lengthy probations, one and two months, respectively, as their aberrant behavior continues. Upon receipt of the two month probation, the user will be placed on The Phantom Zone.
The Phantom Zone is the final degree of latitude that problem users will be granted prior to being permanently banned. Users will be notified by a staff member of their placement on this list. The commission of a probation-worthy offense by a user on The Phantom Zone will result in a ban. Alternatively, the receipt of three total infractions for flaming and/or trolling within a three month period while in The Phantom Zone will also result in a ban. Six months without instance (or 'good behavior') will result in a user being removed from The Phantom Zone and placed back on the Watchlist. Once moved back to the Watchlist, being cited for another probation-worthy offense will result in the user being placed back in The Phantom Zone. The standing period of removal for second stints in The Phantom Zone is one year. If a user is moved to The Phantom Zone for a third time, there will be no removal.

Nine Sacramento State students with a keen interest in finance are about to get some serious hands-on experience investing $250,000.
The finance majors have been selected to make investment decisions and monitor and report on the performance of the quarter-million dollar allocation of University Enterprise Inc.'s investment portfolio.
The Student Investment Management Program is a collaboration between Sac State's College of Business Administration and UEI to provide students with direct experience in the world of Wall Street.
The proposal came from UEI Executive Director Jim Reinhart, whose experience with a similar program at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo convinced him of its intrinsic worth in preparing students for an increasingly competitive job market.
The program's gestation began last spring and was fine-tuned during the summer. In September, a faculty committee chose nine students. All of them are finance majors with superior grade-point averages.
Professor Anna Vygodina, one of the program's executive directors, says the students' one-year commitment to the program is no problem because they are excited by the prospect of gaining valuable experience in their specialty. "All of them are highly motivated and eager to learn," she says.
Sandra Gallo is a case in point. "This puts us in the big leagues," she says, "and puts Sacramento State on the map." She has been tracking the markets and reviewing reams of stock reports very carefully because the student investors will be handling "real money."
Vladimir Petrosyan sees the fund as "an excellent opportunity for me to apply the knowledge that I have gained in my finance classes. Few colleges offer such an opportunity," he says and predicts the fund "will raise the status of the College of Business Administration at Sacramento State to an entirely new level."
College Business School Dean Sanjay Varshney is no less enthused about the program, adding that it will "prepare them for managing in the real world." Consequently it will "allow our students to be even more valuable than ever to the financial community and employers."
That point is punctuated by Brian Leu, an investment officer for the California Public Employees' Retirement System, who considers the fund "a unique opportunity for students to apply theory learned in the classroom to real-life stock analysis and asset management. Not only will they get the chance to practice concepts in accounting, finance, business and strategy, but they will also gain exposure to the challenges of investing."
Leu, who has volunteered as a professional advisor to the program, received his MBA at New York University Stern School of Business, where he helped manage a $2 million student investment fund. He will help monitor the students as they analyze stocks and make investment decisions.
The students presented the recommendations in November. Varshney says the objective is to secure "a total return in excess of 1 percent above the S&P 500," noting that because of the risks involved there are no guarantees of a minimum return. This, he cautions, is "part of the learning process."
There are safeguards, however. No single security may exceed 5 percent of the $250,000 portfolio. And while the students will have plenty of leeway in researching stocks and making recommended buys, two faculty advisors and two finance professionals will oversee the operation and provide guidance.
UEI will also provide an investment management fee to the program, and a portion of future investment earnings will go toward student scholarships.

Great LC participation guys! Remember to PM Hayden. for your personal status points!
As to the recent discussion, some good ideas and points have been brought up, my thoughts are thus...
-Factional identity, I think we don't have to much trouble distinguishing ourselves from our counterparts, we're flamboyant and militaristic, we ride elephants to battle, we have the best cavalry in the world, we have the largest ships in the seas, we have the most creative architectural styles available to us and we're looking to rise in the faction ranks.
-Currency, this has been briefly discussed before, but to me it doesn't seem like a huge deal, Medieval merchants used many different currencies and I've always thought it best to leave it up to the individual, and allow lots of creativity.
All the names suggested can be used, (I would like to add the 'bezant' as a possible choice ) As I have yet to see any builds which prominently feature the currency of Loreos I think we can leave it pretty vague.
-Religion, this has been discussed in the general discussion thread, and the Kings Council has decided that as there are many different beliefs from many different members in LCC, it would be best to (again) leave it up to the individual, If you want to make a temple or church, go for it! We don't want to limit creativity. But nobody should be required to participate.
-Special forces/Knight orders, as we all should know, there are several knightly orders in LCC... many of them are in Loreos.
The duties of these Orders are varied, and what the Order does and doesn't do is up to the creator of the Order. Most of these are already operating as special forces and spies and I don't see the need for them to be made into official special forces of our faction.
Again, it's best left to the individual, if you want a special force next to your main army, go for it! But it shouldn't be necessary.
-Legal Systems, I don't really see the need for an official legal system, unless you were making a build showing your character participating in one. And in that case I would make one up that would fit into a medieval/feudal society. The less rules that take away creative possibilities the better, IMO.
-Rulership, Prince Jarius Lorean is the present ruler of Loreos, the position is hereditary, and his power is absolute. I control This "Non playable" character for the Kings Council, so that we can lead LCC itself to greatness!
-Revolting from present King, ........ Patience is a virtue.
For the Glory of Loreos!

New kid on the block
Lt. Gov. Sheila Simon arrives in Springfield with a legacy, accessiblility and a banjo
The year was 1969 and Sheila Simon remembers fidgeting in her seat as her father, the late U.S. Sen. Paul Simon, was sworn in as lieutenant governor of Illinois. Nearly eight years old at the time, Sheila Simon was "one of those squirmy kids who wouldn't sit still," she told a crowd of nearly 5,800 at the Prairie Capital Convention Center Jan. 10.
Minutes before, she was sworn in to the same office by retired Illinois Supreme Court Justice Mary Ann McMorrow, one of the first female assistant state's attorneys for Cook County along with Sheila Simon's mother, the late Jeanne Hurley Simon, who was later a state representative.
Growing up in a household of public servants "was just a part of life," she says. Her father and mother met in the General Assembly in the late 1950s, and were married for nearly 40 years. She would often tag along to political events with her parents, who, she says, would make fun of her for how she would mimic politicians' speeches and hand gestures.
"Even though I didn't understand all of it," she says.
U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, who succeeded the late Paul Simon as senator, says his first job was in the office of lieutenant governor as his legal counsel when her father held the position.
"She really has her father's political DNA. She is just like him, genuine and personable and hard working. She's gonna go far," he says.
Durbin joked that he could not have predicted from seeing her as a child that Simon would enter into elective office. "She was a perfectly normal kid," he says.
Simon, a former law professor, lawyer and city council member in Carbondale, plans to use her platform to enhance education and domestic violence prevention, with the goal of making the office "accessible" to the public.
"I think people need to feel that they have access to the folks that they have elected. I'm happy to be a starting point for people who have never talked to a politician before, because everyone ought to feel like they have access," Simon says.
The Carbondale native will have offices in Chicago, Springfield and Carbondale, which she hopes will add more public access to government, something many valued in her late father. She says she received a wealth of good advice from him before his death in 2003.
"When I first ran for city council, Dad sat down at his manual typewriter, the only kind of typewriter he ever used, and typed out a one-page list of hot tips for the campaign and one of them was 'have lots of coffees,'" She says.
"I think the one thing my dad would cite, what he learned from his father, was about speaking up when some things may be right but not popular. I think that was a guiding principle for Dad and one that he has definitely passed on to me and my brother, that you need to stand up for what's right even when it's not the popular thing to say."
Sheila Simon's brother, Martin Simon, who is a commercial photojournalist in Washington, D.C., says the family knew his older sister would one day enter elective office.
"I think both my parents would be very happy for her," he says. "It is certainly special that he held this office as well and that she intends to provide some of the same kinds of service that he did back in the late '60s." Martin Simon adds that his sister will add her own twist to the office their father once held.
Lt. Gov. Simon says her top priority is the constitutional duty to be ready to take over as governor if needed.
"I've encouraged the governor to keep shooting hoops and stay healthy so that's not needed," She says. "That's a responsibility I take seriously."
She pursued the office "out of public service," she says, because she has been an admirer of Gov. Quinn's and has worked closely with him on the Illinois Reform Commission, which monitors ethics in government.
"I really appreciate his goals, what he wants to achieve as governor and wanted to support him in that," she says.
Simon is the second female to hold the office of lieutenant governor in Illinois, following Corrine Wood, who served between 1999 and 2003. Simon sees the political "playing field" wide open for women from all walks of life.
"I would say the sky's the limit. There are no restrictions on young women…. Women have been involved in politics nationally and in Illinois in small but growing numbers. This year, when our new constitutional officers are sworn in, it will be one half men and one half women for the first time ever in history of the state of Illinois, to which I say, about time."
Gov. Quinn has asked Simon to be his education point person, which shouldn't be out of the ordinary for a woman who understands a thing or two about education. Simon is a former professor married to a professor, with two daughters in public schools.
She feels that there needs to be a "broader scope" in terms of how student outcomes are measured. Simon is a firm believer in the arts and hopes to maintain a well-rounded education for Illinois students.
She will also serve as chair of the Illinois River Coordinating Council, General Affairs Commission and Green Government Coordinating Council, among others.
"I'd like to look a little bit further down the road and how to move towards a more green and global economy in Illinois," she says, citing a need for job development.
"…And then there are some other things that make me more accessible, like being a banjo player," she told Illinois Times the day before the inauguration.
Simon tunes her banjo as she looks over at keyboardist, Maria Johnson, and waves to the crowd enjoying the dessert reception at Illinois Education Association, Jan. 9. As the beat starts in, she begins plucking away at the five strings, tapping her toe and singing lyrics she wrote herself.
The self-taught banjo player says she picked up the instrument in law school after "failing miserably" at the guitar. "I thought, one less string... I can't do a bar chord on a guitar so I thought, hey, I'll try a banjo. It has only five strings and look at the number of fingers on my left hand, five!" she says holding up her hand. "We're a perfect match."
Simon also plays bassoon and keyboard for the bluegrass band, "Loose Gravel," formed by several friends and colleagues in the spring of 1998. The quartet provided entertainment at her inauguration eve reception hosted by the Illinois Education Association.
The band formed after a series of backyard parties at guitarist Cindy Clark's home in Carbondale, where Simon met most of the band. Pianist Maria Johnson, Simon's former colleague at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, recalls band member Jayme McCarroll telling the group at the time, "Hey, we're like a bunch of loose gravel, we just come together.' "
The name stuck and Simon wrote the lyrics to the signature song, inspired by one of Simon's daughters when she fell off her bicycle as a child.
Simon has penned many of the band's lyrics, many of them inspired by her family. Now that Simon's time will be considerably more divided, the band members understand that Simon's duties and schedule will change. But she says she'll plan more carefully to get time with the group. "It'll take a little more work to make sure we get the practice time in but hanging out with my buddies in the band is very important to me," she says.
Simon finds time to pursue passions outside of public service, and says her hobbies are "a nice counterpoint" to the other areas of her life. In addition to music, she sews quite a bit.
"In most of my work life, when I get something done, there's not a tangible result. But when I sew something, there's a tangible result." She sewed her wool skirt and suit jacket that she wore for the inaugural address, as well as her floor-length gown for the inaugural ball Monday evening. In keeping with her father's love of bowties, she sewed her husband, Perry Knop, a bowtie for the day's events as well.
Knop chimes in that Simon has also sewn homecoming and prom dresses for their daughters, Reilly and Brennan, adding that she only sews for family.
Her daughters have played a key role in her campaign for public offices. Reilly Knop, a sophomore at Southern Illinois University Carbondale, has kayaked the Chicago River to help campaign for her mother. Brennan Knop, who is on her high school speech team, gives her mother pointers on keynote messages.
"In fact, I wish she were here right now," she said on the day before her inauguration. "I like to run big speeches by Brennan 'cause she has some good ideas. The last time she gave me really good advice on a speech that I really worked on was on the day that I was chosen to be on the ticket."
Brennan Knop is on a high school exchange program in Italy for the next six months and could not be reached during the inauguration. "So I do not have the Brennan seal of approval on this speech and I will have to go without that. I think it will meet with her approval."
The crowd at the Prairie Capital Convention Center seemed to approve, however, and Simon welcomed her daughter to the inauguration via the Internet, saying "Buona sera, Brennan," which means "good evening" in Italian. Brennan Knop was able to watch her mother place her hand on the Bible once used by her late grandfather, Paul Simon, as she took the oath of office.
Simon laughs easily and often, and seems to have kept her sense of humor throughout her career of teaching law at Southern Illinois University Carbondale and various political campaigns, including a failed run for mayor of Carbondale. She finds humor in everyday life and has published an essay relating family law to Austin Powers:The Spy Who Shagged Me.
"Humor's a way to break the ice and to make people feel more relaxed, so it's appropriate in a lot of circumstances," she said.
Leaning forward in her chair, and hands folded on the table, a multi-colored watch brightens up Simon's left wrist.
"I pretend it goes with everything I wear," she says. "It's my only watch. When I swim laps in the pool, it goes with me."
A former high jumper in high school and college, Simon also trains for a small triathlon in Carbondale during the spring. She says she also tries to stay active and bike with Perry "when the weather's good."
Knop, department chair and professor of political science at John A. Logan College in Cartersville, is excited that she will bring "a certain accessibility" to the office.
"She connects with people. She's not stuffy, never has been. She's real authentic and it's kind of fun to see her in this position doing what she does best."
The two met at an Adlai Stevenson III campaign event event in Riverside Park in Murphysboro in 1986.
"I was working for a public interest group and she was at that time finishing up her third year of law school," Knop said while on a stroll with Illinois Times around the Capitol building. He had worked for her father, Paul Simon, years before and said he walked up and introduced himself to her.
"We started talking and before you know it we decided to go out. That was a Sunday we met and we went out on a Thursday, and 10 days later, we decided to get married," he says.
The pair married the following September.
"We've been married 23 years and this is our biggest challenge yet," Simon says.

If your doctor has discovered a mass on a chest x-ray or on a CT scan, then you may need a CT guided lung biopsy. Some lung nodules are benign but some may be malignant. The characteristics of the mass can only be determined after a biopsy.
Thanks to revolutionary new technology, a CT scan can identify the location of the mass and a biopsy can easily be performed with a needle. The test is usually performed in a radiology department. The procedure is performed by a radiology specialist. CT guided biopsy of the lung is not only cheaper and safer than surgery, but is a much more convenient procedure.

Rick Perry's rural legend
It's the latest outrage about excessive federal regulation: The government, critics say, wants to require farmers to have a commercial drivers license even if they're just driving their tractors across a public road.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry mentioned it during a speech at an Iowa dinner on Aug. 14, 2011: "Now you tell me whether this is true or not. But one of my fellas just told me, he said that they're talking about a new regulation that if you drive your tractor ... across one public road, you're going to have to have a commercial driver's license. Get out of here! You're kiddin' me. I mean, what are they thinking?"
The former cotton farmer and Texas agriculture commissioner sounded more certain by the next morning, saying in remarks excerpted on CNN's Aug. 15 "Newsroom": "Let me give you just a — this is such an obscene, crazy regulation. They want to make — if you are a tractor driver, if you drive your tractor across a public road, you are going to have to have a commercial driver's license. Now, how idiotic is that?"
PolitiFact Texas checked this out. We rated Perry's claim False.

When the time comes to undercoat your vehicle, you have a few options for the process. In doing the job yourself, you can use spray cans or an air compressor system, and you will just need a few hours to make either option work. We used Eastwood Rubberized Undercoating to protect the floorboards as you see here. The Eastwood brand has been around for years and has become a leader with the D.I.Y car enthusiasts. Their product line is usually designed for the novice builder, making it that much easier to use for the more experienced builder.
Eastwood's Rubberized Undercoating produces a very tough, yet flexible, film that stays put and helps prevent road salt from eating away at your car's metal and fiberglass. The material offers excellent adhesion to metal or painted surfaces, and will also help sound deadening against road noise when cruising on the highway. Eastwood's coating also helps give the car a clean look when the car is parked. The process can take a few minutes to apply but will last a lifetime on your car when done properly. The hardest part of spraying the coating will be the preparation involved. For example, it might take 1 hour to mask up, and about 15 minutes to actually do the job.
Whether you use a spray can or spray-on style of protection, a touch of undercoating treatment will help prevent the floors from rusting. Now let us show you how the pros at House of Pain protect the floorboards and seal the deal on "Project FearleSS" using Eastwood's undercoating protection.

You Had Me At Hello: 150 Contemporary Artworks That Altered My Consciousness - Part 2
I look at a lot of art. Some of it good, some of it bad. Every once in a while, I come across artwork that fundamentally changes me, even if I don't understand it at the time. A friend of mine recently asked me which works had had the greatest impact on me over the years, so I compiled my thoughts. This is not a greatest hits list and many artists I love are not included in it. These are all works that have been, for whatever reason, seared into my brain. To be honest, there are a number of artists on this list whose overall practice I am not a particular fan of, yet, they got to me at least once. – Steven Zevitas, Publisher

Miami Art Week 2017 Roundup
Another week of art, and pretty much whatever else, in Miami is in the books. This year, I participated in the amazing UNTITLED art fair, which has been gaining ground as a "must see" fair for serious collectors. As always, I took the opportunity to get out to visit other fairs, museums and private collections. There was a lot of good energy in Miami and a lot of strong artwork to be seen. - Steven Zevitas, Publisher

Nov 15, 2012
The Hobbit is a lot like Arcane Empires which we previously reviewed. The premise of the game is very similar, as goal is to create a strong city is both self-sufficient and able to defend itself against the goblins and any other attackers that may want to take the town over.
The game starts out by asking for a choice between two types of cities; elves or dwarves. Both cities have the same goals and quests for the most part. The main difference is cosmetics. The dwarf city is underground, elf city is on the plains/forest.
Throughout the game, their different recommended quests to go on. While completing a quest isn't necessarily something that requires leaving the city, by following the recommendations the city will be fully functional and ready for attacks after the initial six days of protection are lifted.
After a few of the recommended tasks are completed, the city will start to grow. Once the city starts to grow and more resources are readily available, it's time to start training an army and scouting the surrounding areas. Depending on which type of city chosen, the types of warriors will vary slightly. For example the dwarves have ax throwers and the elves have archers.
A cool thing about the game is there can be more than one world being played at one time. Jumping back and forth between several worlds will keep the game more exciting. While buildings are being built or upgraded in one world, jump over to the second world and start training troops and building buildings.
The currency of the game is Mithril. It can be purchased with real world money or by doing simple things like signing up for an account. Signing up for an account is probably the easiest way to get the most free Mithril (75). Another way to get free Mithril to login to Facebook.
There's actually a lot to this game, and it's definitely not something that can be finished in an afternoon. The Hobbit will also work in the background. What I mean is that while buildings are being constructed or troops are being trained, the game doesn't need to be running. This means, construction can be started on a building at night then in the morning, the building should be constructed and already producing.

Centaurea gymnocarpa
|Scope: Global
Language: English
|Scientific Name:
|Centaurea gymnocarpa Moris & De Not.
|Red List Category & Criteria:
|Endangered D ver 3.1
|Year Published:
|Date Assessed:
Needs updating
|Foggi, B.
|Strahm, W. & de Montmollin, B. (Mediterranean Island Plants Red List Authority)
The population size is estimated to be less than 250 individuals. The decline in this small population is not yet significant enough to classify this species as Critically Endangered, as only one subpopulation, of 20 individuals, is under threat.
|Range Description:
|Centaurea gymnocarpa is endemic to the Italian island of Capraia, a small island which is part of the Tuscan Archipelago.
|Countries occurrence:
|Additional data:
|Range Map:
|Click here to open the map viewer and explore range.
|The population size is estimated to be less than 250 individuals. Eight subpopulations have been identified. The one threatened subpopulation is composed of less than 20 individuals, while the seven others include more then 20 individuals.
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|It is a herbaceous species that colonizes cracks and fissures of rock faces, growing on acid rocks. It is found in association with Linaria capraia and other endemic species such as Silene badaroi and Galium caprarium.
C. gymnocarpa belongs to the group known as the "cineraria" group. This group probably was once a single species when the land masses were united, but as islands were formed, new species evolved on each island. This means that today there are a number of closely related species of Centaurea in the Mediterranean growing on rocky seaward cliffs, all probably related to a common ancestor.
|Major Threat(s):
|The subpopulation, situated between Paese and Porto, is severely threatened by competition from two invasive plants: Carpobrotus acinaciformis and Senecio angulatus. These two species in the last years have been expanding in Capraia, but do not yet grow in the other areas where C. gymnocarpa occurs, which are for the most part far away from areas of human habitation.
|Conservation Actions:
Actions in Place
Legally: This species is protected by the law 56/2000, which is a law guiding biodiversity conservation in the Tuscan region, and is quite similar to the EC Habitats Directive. Under this law, it is forbidden to collect any species in this genus.
In situ: Four of the eight known subpopulations occur in the Tuscan Archipelago National Park. The Park includes a protected terrestrial area of just under 18,000 ha, and a marine protected area of approximately 60,000 ha (making it the largest European marine park). The objective of the Tuscan Archipelago National Park is to protect this fragile natural environment, which is very rich in cultural and scientific values.
Ex situ: The species is cultivated in the Botanical Garden of Florence.
Actions Needed
Monitoring of all subpopulations is needed, and a programme to remove invasive alien plants which threaten one of the subpopulations needs to be undertaken. Efforts to ensure that these alien species do not start growing in the other areas where this species is found are also very important. Once the alien species have been eradicated, a re-introduction programme will be planned, using specimens propagated from the threatened population.

HOWTO surf anonymous with Onion Routing (TOR) and Privoxy.

5. Let's install it
6. Let's configure it
7. How do I use it?
8. How can I tweak it?
9. References
1. Introduction
Well, we all know that security has become a very important aspect of the internet, maybe the most
important medium the world is relying on these days. It maybe stating the obvious to you guys over again about what we are protecting ourselves against out there: all the bad things that go bump in the night. Or you're an admin trying to defend his precious serverfarm. Or you're, maybe were, that person with malicious-intentions once, trying to fsck over that admin and his serverfarm. Anyways, "The Thin Red Line" shouldn't be a movie about war, but should be a movie about the thin border between hacking/cracking and securing. At least, that's my belief. One example of a technology that becomes more and more important, and is actually a nice example of that thin red line is anonymity on the internet. We all like to hide out there. Certainly when doing our stuff, no matter if it's a hacker/cracker trying to disguise himself from getting traced or to a federal agent trying to frame some criminal without giving away his federal identity. Everyone has his reasons to get anonymous. The morality of doing so is the topic of another discussion.
In this tutorial I'd like to show you guys what a nice example of anonymizing on the internet is, and how you can use it. Now I've seen a few threads on this subject, but no tutorial or HOWTO use/install it. If you already use it, the better; if you don't, then this might get interesting for you.
I'd like to show how you can hide effectively out there with the use of TOR (Onion routing) and a proxy. In this case Privoxy. Don't shoot me with all the manuals and the RTFM people should do. I know there are other tuts around but I thought it was to introduce it here. Hope you like it.
2. What is TOR ?
TOR is actually an anonymizing system that uses onion routing to hide and encrypt data in such way that it hides the source. First, I'll explain briefly IP to enlight this technology. The internet makes use of mostly IP to route packets between a source and destination. Every packet contains a header and a payload area. Now I'm not going into detail about the header but the header contains amongst others 2 fields, namely "source ip" and "destination ip". These get filled in by the nodes at the end (e.g., your pc and a webserver).
Also, you need to know that in a normal sequence these fields NEVER change. I hear you thinking about IP spoofing now. Well if so, you're kinda on the right track, except it's not actually IP spoofing that the onion routing does. The TOR-client sets up a session with the nearest onion-router of the meshed onion-router-network. Then, it tries to make a random path OVER all these onion routers towards the destination you want to reach. This path is encrypted over virtual tunnels between the onion routers. Every onion router only sees the source ip of the router it got data from, meaning no onion-router ever knows the whole path.
Now comes the beauty of it. When you reach the last hop (meaning the last onion router) before the destination, this last hop changes the source ip of the previous router and replaces it with its own ip and also decrypts the data, wehereafter it sends it to the destination. This means that the last onion router will be seen as the source IP rather that your actual IP address. That last router only changes back the ip of the server it got data from and the data hops back to you back to you, back over the virtual encrypted tunnel. These tunnels are random and change every given time, so it could be that you seem to be coming from Australia and 5 minutes later from Finland. I'll demonstrate this later.
3.Secure, but how secure actually??
Well, this might invoke an interesting discussion, as I will try to explain the security that's used throught TOR. I will also try to shed some light on the possible flaws that might exist as well. First off, let me put a statement: "TOR is an implementation that uses Onion routing". The Onion routing itself gets its name from the "ONION-alike" data structures it creates and sends throughout its network. This is a technique to ensure a route is created and yet, every router only will know the previous router to itself and its next router. Every shell of the onion exists at 2 layers: 1 encryption layer and 1 data layer, which contains the necessary data of the next hop, like the IP address. Every hop (onion router) sees the request come in with the IP of the previous hop, It will then decrypt the first layer to get to its second layer of data. It then passes the onion to the IP address it found. In the heart of the onion is the data found which will be passed in clear-text from the last hop to the destination. This should give a general idea of the structure of the onion.
Now onto the encryptions. The encryptions used in the encryption-layers are PKI-based (Public Key Infrastructure). This technique was used in early implementations, and is actually vulnerable to a specific attack: Man-in-the-Middle. Basically, the attacker can insert himself between two points, and capture the traffic. Once enough traffic is capture it can be decrypted at a later time and eventually, the keys used could be discovered.
Therefore, TOR (the latest implementation) uses DIffie-Hellman key exchange, considered as a safe PKI, and Perfect Forwarding Secrecy (PFS). These keys are only used during the lifetime of the virtual connections, much like a session key. The Diffie-Hellman is a key exchange method based on computing together a preshared key, which will be used for further encryptions of the communication. For a more in-depth view of Diffie-Hellman, please check the references list on the bottom. Now this key exchange is combined with PFS.
So, the PFS ensures that a key used to protect transmission data, can never be used as a key to setup a new key. In this case the DH-keying, and vice versa.PFS ensures that the compromise of a single key permits access only to data that is protected by it, not necessarily to the entire communication
Although these things look pretty secure, and mostly they are, there are as always exceptions. For example I'd like to point you to
Here for an advisory of August 2005 on TOR.
4. What is PRIVOXY ?
Privoxy is simply a proxy program that can be used as to relay the traffic. In this case we will use it as an addition on the TOR for extra anonymity, such as changed User-Agents, pop-up-blocker, etc ... For those who don't know what a proxy is: a proxy is a server that sits between one computer system and another. (e.g., your browser and a web server). Your browser makes a request to the proxy, and the proxy effectively gets the data and passes it back to you. Proxies are widely used for several implementations. Now, some of you will say, "Why not just use a free open proxy and we're set?" That's another way in anonymizing but open anonymous proxies are mostly very slow and unreliable when free. Also, they are not randomizing like TOR nor will they (mostly) encrypt your data.
5. Let's install it ...
I am using Slackware 10.2 at this time and will use this distro for the demonstration. I also use Mozilla Firefox for my browser and Xchat as my irc client. Other package handlers might even be easier. There even are Windows and MacOSX packages available. If you really need help on that I suggest that you first go and read the manual of your OS and/or package handler. I might be able to help out on other OS-es over IRC (check my signature for irc). So now open a console-window and head to root (su).
First we need to get the packages : We need :
- libevent (dependency for tor)Code:#cd <dld-or-tmp-directory> (cd in a workable temp directory to keep oversight)
- TOR (For tor I've used the source tarball, since i didn't find the latest slackpack)Code:#wget http://linuxpackages.slackwaresuppor...-i486-1kan.tgz #installpkg http://linuxpackages.slackwaresuppor...-i486-1kan.tgz
Now try and run it already to test. It prolly will complain about an old libevent, but thats no big issue.Code:#wget http://tor.eff.org/dist/tor-0.1.1.8-alpha.tar.gz #tar xvzf tor-0.1.1.8-alpha.tar.gz #cd tor-0.1.1.8-alpha #cat INSTALL ( ALWAYS read installation instructions on source installs) #./configure && make && make install
You can upgrade later. Possibly simply through your package handler
If not, its possible you need to copy the sample config over. Do that like thisCode:#tor (if this works you can CTRL + C out)
If all goes well start tor in the backgroundCode:#cp /usr/local/etc/torrc.sample /usr/local/etc/torrc
- PrivoxyCode:#/usr/local/bin/tor &
The slackpack also made a nice startupscript for you and can be found at /etc/rc.d/rc.privoxy. So check if it starts well.Code:#wget http://www.peterhyman.com/dl/privoxy-3.0.3-i486-1ph.tgz #installpkg privoxy-3.0.3-i486-1ph.tgz
Code:#/etc/rc.d/rc.privoxy start
That should be it. All necessary packages should be installed now. If you have problems installing or with the runscripts, contact me through pm or rather on irc. I'll help you out.
Now let's move on to configuring ....
6. Let's configure it
First go in your browser prefernces and change proxy settings.
For Mozilla Firefox this is the next sequence :
Tor has a pretty solid default configuration, so we can leave that one alone. There is one configuration thing we need to do though, and that's to point the Privoxy towards the TOR-engine. We will need to filter the browser request through the Privoxy proxy filters. Then we can safely pass that result towards the TOR-engine which will initiate the rest of the connection.Code:- Edit - Preferences - General - Connection Settings - Check "Manual Proxy Configuration" and point HTTP, FTP and SSL to 127.0.0.1 port 8118 (the port of privoxy)
- Open /etc/privoxy/config with your favorite editor. Mine's nano, so ....
For the record, by default TOR listens @ port 9050 and privoxy @ port 8118Code:#nano /etc/privoxy/config Go to the last line and add the next between the quotes but not the quotes themselves => "forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 ."
The sequence thus is : Browser-request => Privoxy@8118 => TOR@9050 => Onion-router-network => destination
7. How do I use it ?
I made a little page that will show you how to set your browser settings. And let's you see if you're hidden or not. If you configured all well you should be able to surf the net, and then you can surf to Here . Now, you see your current public IP. That's for browsing, ftp connections and http over ssl-connections. (also see section 5 if you forgot the browser-configurations )
Now onto xchat, that means IRC of course.
Go into your irc-client, in my case xchat and follow the next sequence :
- Settings - Preferences - Network Setup
- Set hostname : 127.0.0.1
- Set port : 9050
- Set type : Socks4
Now goto the server you wanna connect and edit its settings :
- Xchat - Server List
- Choose your server and select Edit
- Check the "Use a proxy server"
Connect and wait and see yourself evading those .... errmmm your anonymity ...
It's possible though that if you get detected using TOR on IRC you might get asked not to use the TOR because of it's a hard to ban an TOR-client :P
So that's it on how to use it. An ethical point, however: while it's good to be anonymous, as most of us know, as do hackers/crackers/trolls/ogres know these techniques and have known them a very long time. Use the knowledge wisely; don't abuse it. Anyway thats up to yourself.
8. How do I tweak it ?
Well, I told you the tweaking concerning browsing and the ircing. Other programs are similar.
If the program has an option to use a proxy server you're set. But I'm sure you will be clever enough to figure those out yourself.
- The TOR-client doesn't need much tweaking, but you can tweak it further if you want. Therefore modify /usr/local/etc/torrc.
- The Privoxy can be tweaked much more to your needs. To do this, do the following steps:
- Invoke a 404, for.ex. browse to http://www.test.test/ ( dunno another way to access it good, if you know contact me)
- You should see the proxy page now
- Go to "view and edit current configuration"
- click view and/or edit /etc/privoxy/default.action
- You'll see three main modes "Cautious, medium and Adventuresome"
- I choose Medium and then clicked edit to modify the hide-user-agent entry (always fun )
Anyway lots of options to tweak and places to see, all anonymously now,
Hope ya liked it.
Cheers from Belgium.

Where others saw blight, Michael-John Bailie, Paul Dudkowski, Ernest Ng and Dan Stripp saw opportunity. In October 2008, the four friends, then entering their final year in UB's architecture master's program, purchased crumbling 139 Howell St. in Buffalo—their thesis project—for $6,500 at a public auction.
They gutted the home and began a renovation that would transform the derelict property into a neighborhood gem. Ultimately, they put $36,000 into renovations.
The finished product, "Quad Space," is a work of art and a tribute to minimalist living. At less than 700 square feet, the dwelling includes a bathroom with a claw-foot tub, a kitchenette, a parlor and four bedrooms, one of which doubles as a lounge.
Each of the private quarters consists largely of a giant "cube," a 7-by-7-by-7.5 foot space constructed using a sleek, warm-toned wood. The boxes protrude partway from the house's original brick exterior, giving the structure a whimsical quality.
Today, Stripp still lives in the house with his girlfriend and his dog, Cosmo, a black Labrador mix.

Upton Sinclair, ed.
The Cry for Justice: An Anthology of the Literature of Social Protest.
Editors Preface
By Upton Sinclair
the idea of this collection was first thought of, it was a matter of surprise that the task should have been so long unattempted. There exist small collections of Socialist songs for singing, but apparently this is the first effort that has been made to cover the whole field of the literature of social protest, both in prose and poetry, and from all languages and times.
The readers first inquiry will be as to the qualifications of the editor. Let me say that I gave nine years of my life to a study of literature under academic guidance, and then, emerging from a great endowed university, discovered the modern movement of proletarian revolt, and have given fifteen years to the study and interpretation of that. The present volume is thus a blending of two points of view. I have reread the favorites of my youth, choosing from them what now seemed most vital; and I have sought to test the writers of my own time by the touchstone of the old standards.
The size of the task I did not realize until I had gone too far to retreat. It meant not merely the rereading of the classics and the standard anthologies; it meant going through a small library of volumes by living writers, the files of many magazines, and a dozen or more scrap-books and collections of fugitive verse. At the end of this labor I found myself with a pile of typewritten manuscript a foot high; and the task of elimination was the most difficult of all.
To a certain extent, of course, the selection was self-determined. No anthology of social protest could omit The Song of the Shirt, and The Cry of the Children, and A Mans a Man for A That; neither could it omit the Marseillaise and the Internationale. Equally inevitable were selections from Shelley and Swinburne, Ruskin, Carlyle and Morris, Whitman, Tolstoy and Zola. The same was true of Wells and Shaw and Kropotkin, Hauptmann and Maeterlinck, Romain Rolland and Anatole France. When it came to the newer writers, I sought first their own judgment as to their best work; and later I submitted the manuscript to several friends, the best qualified men and women I knew. Thus the final version was the product of a number of minds; and the collection may be said to represent, not its editor, but a whole movement, made and sustained by the master-spirits of all ages.
For this reason I may without suspicion of egotism say what I think about the volume. It was significant to me that several persons reading the manuscript and writing quite independently, referred to it as a new Bible. I believe that it is, quite literally and simply, what the old Bible wasa selection by the living minds of a living time of the best and truest writings known to them. It is a Bible of the future, a Gospel of the new hope of the race. It is a book for the apostles of a new dispensation to carry about with them; a book to cheer the discouraged and console the wounded in humanitys last war of liberation.
The standards of the book are those of literature. If there has been any letting down, it has been in the case of old writings, which have an interest apart from that of style. It brings us a thrill of wonder to find, in an ancient Egyptian parchment, a father setting forth to his son how easy is the life of the lawyer, and what a dogs life is that of the farmer. It amuses us to read a play, produced in Athens two thousand, two hundred and twenty-three years ago, in which is elaborately propounded the question which thousands of Socialist soap-boxers are answering every night: Who will do the dirty work? It makes us shudder, perhaps, to find a Spaniard of the thirteenth century analyzing the evil devices of tyrants, and expounding in detail the labor-policy of some present-day great corporations in America.
Let me add that I have not considered it my function to act as censor to the process of social evolution. Every aspect of the revolutionary movement has found a voice in this book. Two questions have been asked of each writer: Have you had something vital to say? and Have you said it with some special effectiveness? The reader will find, for example, one or two of the hymns of the Christian Socialists; he will also find one of the parodies on Christian hymns which are sung by the Industrial Workers of the World in their jungles in the Far West. The Anarchists and the apostles of insurrection are also represented; and if some of the things seem to the reader the mere unchaining of furies, I would say, let him not blame the faithful anthologist, let him not blame even the writerlet him blame himself, who has acquiesced in the existence of conditions which have driven his fellow-men to the extremes of madness and despair.
In the preparation of this work I have placed myself under obligation to so many people that it would take much space to make complete acknowledgments. I must thank those friends who went through the bulky manuscript, and gave me the benefit of their detailed criticism: George Sterling, Max Eastman, Floyd Dell, Clement Wood, Louis Untermeyer, and my wife. I am under obligation to a number of people, some of them strangers, who went to the trouble of sending me scrapbooks which represented years and even decades of collecting: Elizabeth Balch, Elizabeth Magie Phillips, Frank B. Norman, Frank Stuhlman, J. M. Maddox, Edward J. OBrien, and Clement Wood. Among those who helped me with valuable suggestions were: Edwin Björkman, Reginald Wright Kauffman, Thomas Seltzer, Jack London, Rose Pastor Stokes, May Beals, Elizabeth Freeman, Arthur W. Calhoun, Frank Shay, Alexander Berkman, Joseph F. Gould, Louis Untermeyer, Harold Monro, Morris Hillquit, Peter Kropotkin, Dr. James P. Warbasse, and the Baroness von Blomberg. The fullness of the section devoted to ancient writings is in part due to the advice of a number of scholars: Dr. Paul Carus, Professor Crawford H. Toy, Professor William Cranston Lawton, Professor Charles Burton Gulick, Professor Thomas D. Goodell, Professor Walton Brooks McDaniels, Rev. John Haynes Holmes, Professor George F. Moore, Prof. Walter Rauschenbusch, and Professor Charles R. Lanman.
With regard to the illustrations in the volume, I endeavored to repeat in the field of art what had been done in the field of literature: to obtain the best material, both old and new, and select the most interesting and vital. I have to record my indebtedness to a number of friends who made suggestions in this fieldRyan Walker, Art Young, John Mowbray-Clarke, Martin Birnbaum, Odon Por, and Walter Crane. Also I must thank Mr. Frank Weitenkampf and Dr. Herman Rosenthal of the New York Public Library, and Dr. Clifford of the Library of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. To the artists whose copyrighted work I have used I owe my thanks for their permission: as likewise to the many writers whose copyrighted books I have quoted. Elsewhere in the volume I have made acknowledgments to publishers for the rights they have kindly granted. Let me here add this general caution:
The copyrighted passages used have been used by permission, and any one who desires to reprint them must obtain similar permission.
One or two hundred contemporary authors responded to my invitation and sent me specimens of their writings. Of these authors, probably three-fourths will not find their work includedfor which seeming discourtesy I can only offer the sincere plea of the limitations of space which were imposed upon me. I am not being diplomatic, but am stating a fact when I say that I had to leave out much that I thought was of excellent quality.
What was chosen will now speak for itself. Let my last word be of the hope, which has been with me constantly, that the book may be to others what it has been to me. I have spent with it the happiest year of my lifetime: the happiest, because occupied with beauty of the greatest and truest sort. If the material in this volume means to you, the reader, what it has meant to me, you will live with it, love it, sometimes weep with it, many times pray with it, yearn and hunger with it, and, above all, resolve with it. You will carry it with you about your daily tasks, you will be utterly possessed by it; and again and again you will be led to dedicate yourself to the greatest hope, the most wondrous vision which has ever thrilled the soul of humanity. In this spirit and to this end the book is offered to you. If you will read it through consecutively, skipping nothing, you will find that it has a form. You will be led from one passage to the next, and when you reach the end you will be a wiser, a humbler, and a more tender-hearted person.

RISD Alumni Win 2010 USA Fellowships
In a ceremony held on December 7, 2010 at New York's Lincoln Center, the arts advocacy foundation United States Artists awarded unrestricted $50,000 grants toNatalia Almada MFA 01 PH and Matthias Pliessnig 03 FDin support of their ongoing work in film and furniture/sculpture, respectively. The RISD alumni are among 52 individual artists and collaboratives nationwide selected to receive2010 USA Fellowships on the basis of the "impact and caliber" of their work. Pliessnig has also been named a Knight Fellow, an honor that includes an additional $5,000 grant to create a community engagement event in his home city, Philadelphia. In addition,Glenn Ligon, a conceptual artist who attended RISD but didn't earn a degree, won a 2010 USA Fellowship.
Almada creates documentaries through Altamura Films, her independent production company based in Brooklyn and Mexico City. She is currently in post-production onEl Jardin, which looks at the drug war in Mexico and follows her earlier film, Al otro lado/To the Other Side (2005), about a Mexican composer forced to choose between drug trafficking and emigrating illegally to the US.El General (2009), Almada's most recent feature – a personal portrait of the controversial Mexican president Plutarco Elias Calles – earned her the 2009 Sundance Documentary Directing Award.
Pliessnig teaches part-time in the Furniture Design Department and works primarily with steamed bent-wood strips to create dramatic, sensuous furniture and sculptural pieces. He exhibits frequently and his work is included in the permanent collection of the Museum of Art and Design in New York.
The 2010 awards mark the fifth anniversary of the USA Fellowships. The first round of honorees included alumniTanya Aguiñiga MFA 05 FD and Liz Collins 91 TX/MFA 99; in subsequent years Judith Schaechter 83 GL, Nader Tehrani BArch 85, Kara Walker MFA 94 PT/PR and Mary Shaffer 65 IL were also selected for the prestigious award.

**1/2 (out of four)
Though Wild Belle's name suggests untamed beauty, the Chicago band's music might better be thought of as a refining of ugliness. On the duo's full-length debut, "Isles," bitter feelings, heartbreaks and letdowns are all dressed up in the veneer of carefully arranged vocals and laid back dub rhythms. To the point that it almost seems like there's nothing wrong at all.
The warm, familiar blend of throwback R&B;, reggae and indie pop – think Amy Winehouse with more offbeat guitars and the occasional drum machine – will be an ideal soundtrack for the sunny days of late spring and early summer. It's the album's greatest trick, turning the arguments and frustrations of the relationships singer Natalie Bergman documents into moments of comfort. Even the presumably sardonic lyrics of "Twisted" ("What's the definition of love if it isn't material things?") come across as almost reassuringly sincere. You might find yourself nodding along to the idea that there's no relationship a diamond ring can't fix.
Yet this reassurance can also be the album's biggest weakness: It's pretty and precise but rarely unruly or exuberant. Arresting moments like the honking sax on "It's Too Late" or the staccato percussion and vocals of "Shine" are regrettably limited. "Isles" is flawlessly executed but in a sedate, restrained way that ignores the most sublime, emotive elements of its influences. Songs like "Love Like This," an intimate love song with perfect backing harmonies, are very belle, but they could stand to be just a bit more wild.

RV Forum logo wear - click HERE
Only applies to VKR members. Which even if you bought the membership and got a free night, youre still ahead $40.
What's VKR?
The ONLY problem I have with KOA is, it seems like every one of them is right next to a railroad track. And the train comes through at 2 am every morning.Other than that, I've enjoyed all the KOAs I've stayed in.
Luckily, Ive never had that experience. We got corn fields across the road. My kind of neighbors
I have never stayed in a KOA but a few months ago my nephew wanted to move to Florida and was disappointed to find out that the RV park I live in is full. So I visited the local KOA that is 3 miles down the road from me and they were also full. I checked their rates. Monthly rates were about $400 a month higher than what I pay. So I have been appreciating KOA not just on weekends but every day. I can tell by driving through the park that I much prefer the park I am in.
I surely wouldnt recommend monthly stays at them but if you get a free night..why not?
... there are a lot of non-KOA RV parks that are pretty nasty too.
The place I am staying is $360 a month which is less than half what KOA is charging so I am getting a few weeks for free.
We don't usually stay at KOAs when we are traveling to our destination only because they are usually more expensive than other campgrounds for one night. But when we do stay at KOAs we find them to be pretty much like other campgrounds some are good and some not so good, some are well cared for and some aren't. When traveling I 95 through GA we'll stop at the KOA in Savannah only $22.50 overnight. We like one so much in Ft Collins CO that we stay there for two months during the summer.
Gene, which KOA did you stay in? There are 3 around here and I'm not sure which one to recommend. Thanks!

"These inlet liners perform very well through multiple injections of pesticides that would normally be sensitive to normal inlet liners with active sites. DEFINITELY worth the change!"
Member since: 2013
Organization: National Institute of Chemistry
Application Area:GC determination of triterpenoids in plant extracts
"I recently learned from my colleague about the novel inert GC Sky Liners from Restek for demanding applications. I order them (splitless, single taper) for my work whose aim was to develop an injector-port derivatization of triterpenoids for their determination in vegetable extracts. During the screening and optimization steps, I have used different derivatization agents, such as silylation (BSTFA, TMSI, MTBSTFA) and alkylation (tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide) reagents. I have observed stunning stability of the liners, without deterioration of the peaks and lost in sensitivity even after > 100 injections of standards with derivatization reagents (for injector-port or on-line derivatization). Using the Sky Liners I didn't have to clean and deactivate the liner frequently (as I was supposed to do) and I greatly reduced the down-time of the instrument and increased the productivity of my work."
Effective immediately, Restek Corporation has unveiled a new 100% satisfaction guarantee for all inlet liners.
These exceptionally inert liners are now produced with new proprietary Restek® processes and apply some of the tightest testing specifications in the industry. The liners analysts want most are in stock now and are guaranteed to deliver outstanding performance that exceeds your expectations.
When faced with complex choices, simple solutions stand out. Inlet liners from Restek use a comprehensive, state-of-the-art deactivation and are the only blue liners on the market—making them an easy-to-recognize solution to common inlet problems.
The innovative deactivation used for liners results in exceptional inertness for a wide range of analyte chemistries. By reducing active sites and enhancing analyte transfer to the column, these liners increase accuracy and precision, allowing lower detection limits for many active compounds. In addition to improved data quality, you'll benefit from fewer liner changes and less downtime for maintenance.
Selecting the right liner for your application can be a challenging task. Sky® inlet liners make the choice simple; the comprehensive deactivation, distinctive color, and availability in popular configurations mean liners are the best choice for optimizing chromatographic performance. Regardless of your application, liners provide reliable inertness and assured performance, day-after-day and analysis-after-analysis.

The purpose of the CCRAA Hispanic-Serving Institutions Program is to develop and carryout activities to improve and expand the institution's capacity to serve Hispanic and other low-income students. An eligible HSI must have an enrollment of undergraduate full-time equivalent students that is at least 25 percent Hispanic students at the end of the award year immediately preceding the date of application.
The Title V Program is a five-year initiative, partially funded by the U.S. Department of Education (DOE), Hispanic Serving Institution (HSI) grant that improves upon institutional goals.
This program helps eligible institutions of higher education enhance and expand their capacity to serve Hispanic and low-income students by providing funds to improve and strengthen the academic quality, institutional stability, management, and fiscal capabilities of eligible institutions.
The Title V Program was enacted in 1965 through the Higher Education Act and was amended by Congress in 1998, to specifically address the disparity of enrollment and achievement between non-Hispanic white students and Hispanic American students in higher education. This program was also developed to improve academic programs at Hispanic Serving Institutions, which often have scarce fiscal resources.
Funds may be used for activities such as: faculty development; funds and administrative management; development and improvement of academic programs; endowment funds; curriculum development; scientific or laboratory equipment for teaching; renovation of instructional facilities; joint use of facilities; academic tutoring; counseling programs; and student support services. Five-year individual development grants, five-year cooperative arrangement development grants, and one-year planning grants may be awarded.
NOTE: The Title V Program is NOT a scholarship or fellowship program for individuals or for research. The program is designed to support institutions of higher education that are HSIs.

New Life for an Old Table Saw
By Steve Shanesy

Buy this issue now
The dream of a "barn find" looms large in most people's imagination, whether it's 1,000 board feet of 18″-wide walnut or a '67 Mustang (pony interior, of course). Problem is, it rarely happens to you.
My turn came last fall when I stumbled on an old Delta Unisaw. And I mean WWII-era old. The serial number and a quick Internet search gave me a "born on" date of 1944, about the fourth year of production for this stalwart table saw model.
But finding this relic and owning it were two separate matters. The contents of the building where I discovered it were to be sold at auction. So just how much should I pay for the saw? Would it be a steal? Would a "collector" bid up the price? The auctioneer asked for $125. No takers. Next he asked for $75 and a hand went up. Then $100 and my hand went up. In a matter of seconds, it was mine for $165.
And thus began my relationship with a 65-year-old woodworking machine. As you would expect, "getting acquainted" was the first order of business after hauling the Unisaw back to the Popular Woodworking Magazine shop.
