Wiggin cancels trainee intake from 2015 as clients move work in-house
Readers' comments (3)
This seems to be a very shortsighted approach. How does Wiggin expect to have good quality senior lawyers if they are not prepared to take the time to train junior lawyers?
This is what Kowalski writes about in "Avoiding Extinction". I agree it seems short-sighted, but Kowalski argues that client firms are no longer willing to pay for trainees to learn from their legal problems. His "ideal" law firm does not pay to train their lawyers. I was left wondering how this squared with the idea of having a right-on approach to sustainability in other spheres.
The Bar pays its pupils out of the contributions of members of Chambers. There is no financial return to those who are paying. Once pupils start earning in their own right in their second six, they keep what they earn on top of often substantial payments from Chambers. The reward is strengthening Chambers with good quality tenants. No reason why solicitors shouldn't start thinking along the same lines.

More Affordable Alternatives to Pottery Barn's Turner Chair?
Good Questions
Q: I'm in love with this chair, but I need two in the space I have, with ottomans (the room is huge — 20x30). It's the Turner from Pottery Barn. Are there any affordable alternatives, Apartment Therapy readers? Also, these will be in the sun a little — any concerns about leather?

I think you should save up and wait for a PB sale, then get exactly what you want. I have found that when I buy a cheaper alternative I usually wish I had saved up for the 'real' one.
Assuming you will ignore my hard-won advice (haha), that worn effect along the seams of the Turner chair is going to be hard to match. Take a look at Room and Board -- it to be a little less expensive than Pottery Barn while still having good quality.
What's your price point?
What are the key elements of this chair that you like? E.g., color? must it be leather, or will fabric or "leatherette" be okay?
My first inclination if it is'*this* chair that you want is to:
* Craigslist surf
* Post on Craigslist your desire for two chairs like this (post the picture, too, and post it in the "FOR SALE" and "WANTED" sections)
* Check www.overstock.com -- their return policy is good, so if it doesn't meet your needs, you can typically return no problem
* Join "flash sale" (is that what they're called?) home furnishing sites like www.jossandmain.com or www.onekingslane.com to see what shows up. Different sales every day. I've gotten some seriously discounted nice furniture from there. You just have to be patient to see what shows up.
I understand the price consideration, but I have never ever regretted a PB purchase. Their furniture is well and strongly made. Whenever I have bought an almost-as-good version of something I craved from PB, I have regretted it.
Furniture stays with you for a long time, so divided out over the years of good looks and durability, PB is worth the price. Buying 5 PierOne chairs as replacements are needed can end up more expensive over time.
Depending on where you live, there may be a pottery barn outlet near you. If someone places an order (for almost anything) and they return it, it goes to the outlet. It's a great source for lighting, furniture, rugs....and especially if you want to see what an item looks like in real life (styles, colors, etc.) There are a handful....helps if you do a google search and go from there...not able to find a listing on their website.
If you are within driving distance of Memphis, plan a trip to the Pottery Barn Outlet (or better, yet- call ahead and ask if they have any of these chairs in stock). Stuff comes and goes there all the time so you can't always count on a specific item being available.
I refuse to let myself browse the Pottery Barn website anymore. I just sit there and go ok how can I make that for less and in cases of furniture it's as bad as hanging out at Restoration Hardware sometimes.
Resto is definitely worse. Longing and loving in varying degrees.
I bought a VERY similar leather chair from Dillard's department store. Macy's also carries quality furniture (i.e. some from the NC mills) at competitive prices. People today don't tend to think of department stores for this sort of thing anymore, but they have some (admittedly not all) quality pieces. I like mine better than this one because the arms are a little higher and rounded so that I can actually rest my head there without either breaking my neck or jabbing a sharp corner into my cheek.
To go off on a tangent here, I'm surprised how many people like those uber-modern sofas and chairs with low arms and sharp corners. Am I the only person who thinks a sofa isn't just for sitting upright?
My Corona couch (Macys) has low arms and sharp corners and I sleep on it quite comfortably. I have a chair that is from the same line and have actually slept in it sideways. I do happen to be small but I don't find them uncomfortable.
The Barrington chair at World Market, but the leather won't be nearly as plush. WM has a 25% off coupon for their rewards members this weekend, too.
Have you checked out if there is a Rowe furniture dealer near you? Rowe used to manufacture PB items, so if you found one of their dealers you could find a lookalike for a deep discount.
I used to get furniture from PB, but I've had the opposite experience with them in terms of quality than some people here. A lot of sagging and squeaking after very light use isn't a sign of quality Mitchell + Gold has been making their furniture for close to 15 years. I think the quality has gone downhill in the past five to seven years. Crate and Barrel has a similar one, probably made by LEE, a much better manufacturer and it's about $300 less. They also have an awesome sale in January or early Feb most of the time.
Also, just an FYI, if you do decide to go with the PB chairs, they are currently running a special where if you use their PB credit card, you get double rewards points. Just thought I'd mention it! :)
Sorry, but I don't think Crate & Barrel sofas and chairs are anywhere near the quality they used to be. If you look at the prices of their upholstered pieces, they have actually become cheaper over the last few years. At one point both Crate & Barrel and Room & Board had approximately the same price point; now Room and Board seem to have higher prices but their quality has been maintained.
Look at the offerings of some quality manufacturers on their websites and see if they have a style you like. Then you can search the web to find the best price. My neighbor did just that and scored a far better price than quoted by a chi-chi store.
TINY HANDS! Dillards!! it was a flashback to hear that store's name. I did get two wonderful club chairs there and they are still going strong. I gave one to my daughter, whose kids haven't managed to destroy it. I call the one I kept my "Barnes and Noble chair" because it feels like those comfy chairs that store used to have.
You are so right about department stores. We all need to check them out too. They're full of surprises and good furniture.
There is a woman in Northern Virginia that has access to all of the main furniture chains suppliers..I forget her name, and the link is on my work computer. But she always says that she can get just about anything at half the price. I cant imagine that she is the only wholesaler (to individuals) out there, with those connections
I bought a leather chair from Home goods that looks a lot like this one,the only difference being the arms are rounded.It was $500,and it has held up like a champ for 4 years and gets daily use(and Im not a small man) pluss everyone who comes over loves to sit in it,claiming it is the most comfortable chair we own!
Smart Money did an article about the quality of Pottery Barn goods, and Pottery Barn did not come off well at all...
Absolutely search craigslist. You never know what you will find and you can always bargain. Up-cycle! Especially with leather products. :-)
Would recommend you regularly search your local craigslist, consignment shops or try estate auctions.
Alternative to PB's $2300 pricetag. This chair starts at $1500.
This one is similarly priced to the PB one.
Roots Home has beautiful and very expensive items. Dream pieces for for me but they'd be for life. http://info.roots.com/rootsHome/
My experience with PB has been that their furniture is poorer quality than most: I've had pieces from PB, Macy's and Room and Board as well as a handful of local vendors. With a replacement slipcover my Room and Board couch is still going strong after 10 years (I can hardly believe it myself). The PB stuff is creaky and worn, especially the wood table and chairs. Not well made at all. Our Macy's couch is in decent shape after 5 years of heavy use by my sons, but it's not going to outlast our Room and Board sofa.
Another problem I have with Pottery Barn is that it's *smaller* than other stuff. It's strange, but true. With a husband who is 6' 4" we always laugh when we visit the PB stores. He says: this furniture is made for tiny people! Watch the dimensions carefully.
I've never seen a Dillard's that sells furniture. What city do you live, if you don't mind telling?
Have to second and third parnassus' opening comment having also learned the hard way. Cheap upholstered goods....been there/done that. Save up for what you really want. If you can't afford it now, save. Sit on poufs or floor cushions until you have the money. In addition to later having what you really wanted for your space, you won't have to take up your valuable time trying to re-home the knockoffs that will likely end up as landfill.
I also agree that PB's stuff is oddly small. Most of Macy's furniture is shipped in containers from China. I have a Corona sofa in my den, it's okay. Not great and luckily does not come in for much abuse, you can tell by the way it feels that it wouldn't last. In my living room I have a Mitchell Gold black label Fielding sofa (Chesterfield style) that I saved for and then waited 6 months for their 20% off sale. Worth it.
Tinyhands, I agree with you on both counts. There are great furniture items and deals to be had at department stores. (I've found some beautiful, high quality pieces at Penneys!) And as for the modern sofas, that squared-off, tightly upholstered (often retro, i guess) stuff has always left me cold and is rarely comfortable.
@cyberval - I'm beginning to think there's a variation piece by piece. My parents have a Room and Board sofa that they literally insisted on returning within 3 months because of the supposedly hand-tied lifetime springs coming loose and squeaking and a slipcover that was laundered exactly according to directions that shrunk so much they literally couldn't get it back on (it was about 10 inches too short.) This was just earlier this year and many years after purchasing several items they were happy with from R&B.
I got a dining bench from C&B last year that has held up with very frequent use.
I tend to think that the way companies do business these days might be getting away from having one main supplier and more towards having many, which would explain why people's experiences can be do different.
I love PB for their modern country styling however I should warn you that PB quality is not that good. Mostly all of their stuff is manufactured in China or are toned down rip offs of Henredon of Horchow pieces. If you're going to save up and drop that much money I would buy something made in the US. Here are some brands:
If you aren't that concerned with where it came from or the quality, I would try hacking something from ikea:
Or sacrificing the arm detail:
Or just finding something sort of similar with different accents:
I'm in Houston. I don't know about ALL Dillards, but the one near the Galleria definitely has furniture.
If you are anywhere near Atlanta it is worth a visit to Macy's furniture outlet store in Kennesaw. This is here they sell the returns and leftovers from the entire southeast. Beautiful name brand furniture is here, maybe because it has a tiny scuff or a slight scratch. Fabulous deals with prices that decrease every week that the piece is in the showroom.
Beware- there s a regular Macy's furniture on the main floor.m the outlet is on the SECOND floor.
hello-did you ever publish that link? would like to see what she has to offer. tks

New Era stares in the face of absurdity with this next release and takes a fabric traditionally used for sweatshirts and hoodies and crafts it into a hat. The odd combination of hat structure and heather knit fabric, however, come out to be a good fit for the cap (no pun intended). 59Fifty is plotting to release a wide range of hats in the material in different shades of grey, powder blue, and more as all of the caps will be in debt to a Yankee logo. This particular drop will be able to be purchased at New Era Japan. Link after the skip.

A few more photos found in the trash and associated with Methodist minister Lucius W. Hope—they go with the photos featured in this post from a couple of weeks ago. The second picture is printed on a post card, not sure if it's a random individual or someone famous. Regarding the last photo, taken in the late 1960s or early 1970s, it's interesting to note that the Marine Corps. was the last branch of the U.S. Armed Services to desegregate—African Americans were prohibited from joining the Marines until 1942.

There hasn't been a whole lot of news about that Fraggle Rock movie, but don't worry… it's still on. And two writers have been hired for the project, so hopefully that's a good sign that we'll see some new Fraggles in the next year or two at the soonest.
Long before computer-driven physics simulations, trying to come up with a solution for a real-world physics problem took a tremendous amount of calculation by hand. Three hundred years ago, Isaac Newton asked if anyone could calculate the exact trajectory of a ball, taking into account both gravity and wind resistance. Recently, a 16 year old from India took that challenge and beat it.
It's been a while since we've seen the Worf, the friendly Klingon in the Star Trek universe, but actor Michael Dorn would love to bring Worf back as the captain of his own Federation ship, even if it's in a low budget fan film, and even if he has to write it himself.
And in news about crazy, probably drugged up and definitely crazy motherfuckers, earlier this week, a man in Hackensack, New Jersey barricaded himself in a room, sliced his belly open and started hurling chunks of his own intestines at police.
With pushes for medical marijuana in many states across the US, you'd think that pot smokers were some incredibly health-conscious people. And while marijuana does have a number of pain-relieving health benefits, the point is that people just want to get high. So for the smarty-pants Israeli scientists who are so proud of themselves for developing weed that won't get you high, you can keep that shit.
First, NYC was one of the first areas in the US to ban smoking in all restaurants and businesses, then they were one of the first to ban the use of transfats, and now Mayor Michael Bloomberg would like to see New York as a leader in the prohibition of super sized mega gulp sodas.

Straight in to the IHC Action News desk, a strange new illness in Africa has been turning children into zombies. The illness has been sweeping through Uganda, causing mental degradation and in 10-15% of the cases, increased violence and aggression.
Just in case you had forgotten all about Google Chrome OS, yesterday, Samsung launched a new thin Google Chrome laptop and a teeny tiny Google Chrome desktop machine. Under the hood is a newly redesigned Google Chrome, but is it is worth it, considering you're still basically running just the Chrome browser?
Hot off the presses, here's the first photo of James Badge Dale on the set of Iron Man 3 in costume as Iron Patriot. But he's not playing Norman Osborn, AKA Green Goblin, because Sony still has the movie rights to Osborn through Spider-Man. But Osborn is Iron Patriot, and his stealing an Iron Man suit to become Iron Patriot is part of his story. Oh whatever, I'm sure the movie will still be cool as hell. Ben Kingsley is still playing the as-yet-unknown main villain and it was originally thought Dale would be playing the cyborg Coldblood.

So Romney isn't yet on Instagram, but he does have a new iPhone app. But the buzz around the just-released app isn't that it lets you customized photos with Mitt-themed frames, but the fact that the app horribly misspells "America".
You're probably aware by now that Japan has very different tastes than the rest of the world and there are lots of strange varieties of western food and beverage brands. There's already an "Iced Cucumber" flavor of Pepsi as well as a strawberry milk flavor (okay, that one sounds like it might be good), but Salty Watermelon?

East Tennessee Children's Hospital » Services & Specialties » Specialties » Pediatric Endocrinology
A pediatric endocrinologist treats children with growth, puberty, diabetes or other hormone and gland disorders. The endocrine gland releases hormones into your child's bloodstream that make him grow and change.
The most common problems pediatric endocrinologists treat are:
One of the hormones that require endocrinologists' attention is insulin. This hormone moves food energy from the blood into muscle, fat and liver cells. When your child does not have enough insulin or becomes resistant to it, he can develop diabetes. This disease requires lifelong management by your family, your child and your doctors.
The most common symptoms of diabetes are:
A diabetes diagnosis may seem overwhelming. Your child's endocrinologist can create a plan to manage diabetes that works best for your child's lifestyle. It may include:
Unmonitored diabetes can be very harmful for your child. In the long-term, it can cause blindness, kidney failure, amputations and increased risk of heart attack.
The thyroid gland is located on your neck. It affects your metabolism. When your child's thyroid produces too many hormones, he may develop hyperthyroidism, or Graves' disease. His metabolism will be overactive, which may result in:
Your doctor will measure the amount of thyroid hormone in your child's bloodstream to determine if your child has hyperthyroidism. Treatments include medication to block the production of thyroid hormones and decrease heart rate.
A pediatric endocrinologist may discover that your child's thyroid is producing too little thyroid hormone. This condition is called hypothyroidism.
In newborns, hypothyroidism's symptoms are:
In children and adolescents, hypothyroidism's symptoms are:
Your doctor will complete a blood test on your child to determine if he has hypothyroidism. Without treatment, hypothyroidism can result in intellectual disability and heart failure. Treatment can include hormone treatment and medication to boost hormone levels. Your pediatric endocrinologist will continually test your child's levels and adjust medication as needed.

Here you will find all our authentic Mexican Chorizo recipes from how to make a real Mexican Chorizo through to Chorizo with eggs and Chorizo Tortilla
Mexican Chorizo Recipes
Mexican chorizo is a development of the more famous and milder Spanish variety. it is popular in the chilli eating belt of Central America and the southern United States
This recipe originates from Sonora the heartland of Mexican Chorizo making. It is a fresh sausage, but it can also be smoked in order to intensify the flavour. I have reproduced the recipe fairly faithfully but be aware I have significantly reduced the chilli content as in mexico it would be used in small quantities to flavour a dish such as scrambled eggs or refried beans. There is nothing much to the recipe for this dish – just mix it up and stuff it in!

Conversations with my self today! I was visiting Lynne Hoppe's blog...
Lynne's blog always inspires and is fun to visit. I love the links and her experimentations. Well today I told myself damnit get on with it! You want to paint and play just do it! I am meant to do it! It is what I can do well enough to say so! It doesn't matter what the outcome is just do it! I have been collecting paints, pastels of all kinds, watercolors and journals now use them, fill them up! I am going back to my old WIP's and here is one you may remember it from an old post last year. Well, it is almost done and at the same time I am just drawing. It is the last one, the mixed media portrait of my mother from the 1940's. I am calling A Rose in the Garden. The others are playing with various tools, chalk pastels, watercolor, ink, pencil, etc. I have so many sketch books to fill and I intend to do it this year! It doesn't matter if I sell or not. I won't focus on that, it can be such a downer! Maybe someday I will find a person who can set up my Etsy and Ebay at a later date. We will see, right now it is just my year to concentrate on playing and improving and exploring!

Playing with Daniel Smith's new Watercolor Ground.
I am not a watercolorist but I am learning to love the medium. I am fairly new to it. I put the DS Watercolor Ground onto cardboard and after 24 hours I sanded it a bit. It took the watercolor well, no seepage. I like the product so far, it doesn't feel like Gesso it is more chalk like! I have to try it in my journal I have a feeling it might work very well, I want to see if the copic pens will bleed through it. I haven't tried this medium on cloth or canvas yet but will soon. I found that the watercolor pencil blended well with water but they were even better when I had applied the pencil over a wash. Oh and it was fun to carve some grooves and watch the color follow them. Anyway, that was this mornings project, I just haven't felt like painting much lately.

Folk art!
After going through my wood pile I came up with this for my Etsy shop. Inspired by Jane DesRosier's wood block doll from December, I believe it was. Mine is different but that is ok. I have more in the works. I can't tell you how much better in person these look. I have some of my other pieces lined up on a mantel and I love the look. I will have to get a picture soon to show you.
I am waiting for my watercolor ground from Daniel Smith to dry right now. I will let you know how it goes with some pics.

All About Hemp
Industrial hemp seed is extremely nutritious, perhaps one of the top plants in terms of meeting human (and animal) nutrition. Hemp based products contain significant amounts of properly balanced essential fatty acids, both Omega-3 and Omega-6 oils. These essential fatty acids cannot be synthesized by the body � they must come from dietary sources. Studies have shown benefits for cardio-vascular health with a proper balance of these EFA�s. Resource: http://www.drbronner.com/pdf/hempnutrition.pdf plus NIH studies: http://ods.od.nih.gov/news/conferences/w6w3_abstracts.html.
Hemp also contains all the amino acids, including all the essential amino acids, which are the building blocks of protein. These essential amino acids, like the EFA�s cannot be synthesized - they MUST come from dietary sources. Key minerals, vitamins and enzymes are also present. Hemp is considered a complete food source � one could live off a diet of just natural hemp seed for a long time http://www.drbronner.com/pdf/hempnutrition.pdf .
Beyond the amazing nutritional benefits, certain types of hemp contain significant quantities of cannabidiol (CBD). One cannabinoid in particular has received significant attention recently: Cannabidiol (CBD) � to the point where the US Government actually holds a patent on the therapeutic usage of CBD. US Patent # 6,630,507.
After years of research and development, we are proud to offer CBD-based health and wellness products to the public. If so interested, please click below to order your CBD TODAY!
Endocannabinoid Discovery
The endocannabinoid system within the human body is one of science�s newest and most exciting discoveries. Here there are two receptor sites on cells of the brain, internal organs and digestive tract (CB-1 and CB-2) that have been shown to be the largest neuro-transmitter system with the entire human body. This neuro-transmitter system regulates relaxation, eating, sleeping and even cognitive function. Phyto-cannabinoids or plant based cannabinoids, such as CBD can assist the body�s health and wellness.BUY CBD HERE
Industrial Hemp
Aside from the cannabinoids produced within our bodies and those found in industrial hemp, there are numerous other substances that have been found to react positively with the endocannabinoid system.� These items include: cacao, black pepper, Echinacea, tumeric and even carrots.� However the powerful cannabinoid extracts from the industrial hemp plant are the ones that will produce most closely those effects produced by the body�s own cannabinoids http://csglobe.com/high-on-health-cannabinoids-in-the-food-supply/ .� No downtime, no downside, no side-effects (maybe a little relaxation).� Our product developers support sustainable and renewable industrial hemp in which one acre of hemp sequesters 2 tons of carbon from our atmosphere (source: Christopher J Boucher and Hempsteads.com).�
If you seek health and wellness, dietary supplements with CBD / cannabidiol may be right for you.

Total prohibition Total freedom
0 ------ 10 ------ 20 ------ 30 ------ 40 ------ 50 ------ 60 ------ 70 ------ 80 ------ 90 ------ 100
Traveler's checklist:
*Standard firearms ownership:unrestricted, no permit or license required
*Semi-auto / high capacity magazines: no restrictions on possession or sale
*Machine gun ownership:no state restrictions, compliance with federal law only
*Firearm law uniformity:preemption law, cities prohibited from creating new laws
*Right of Self-Defense: NRA-model castle doctrine, stand your ground in public areas
*Open carry:prohibited unless one possesses a recognized permit to carry a handgun
*Concealed carry:licenses granted on a "shall issue" basis; automatic reciprocity for
or secured in commercial gun cases anywhere in the vehicle
*State Parks: concealed handgun carry by recognized licensees permitted
*Restaurants serving alcohol: permittees may carry while eating in dining areas - see p.3
*Duty to notify LEO of permit status: upon demand of police officer
*Vehicle gun possession at colleges: lawful for permittees, but code enforcement possible
Tennessee is slightly more restrictive in its treatment of
firearms than some
of its neighbors. But the birthplace of Alvin York has a solid tradition of private gun
ownership that should provide most travelers with an enjoyable visit.
Recognized permittees: A license is required to carry a
loaded handgun
either openly or concealed. Such permits are issued through the Department of Public
Safety to qualified residents 21 years or older for 4 year terms. Tennessee recognizes
any valid, out-of-state permit for carrying a handgun as long as the permittee is not a
resident of Tennessee and restricts his weapons' carry to handguns only. Nonresidents
are not issued permits unless they are regularly employed in the state. Most areas off-limits
to permittee carry, such as colleges, civic centers & public recreation buildings, are posted
with signage. These prohibitions can include all property owned or operated by the entity.
Although "open areas" such as local parks and campgrounds are O.K. under state law, localities
can still prohibit carry in these places by posting signs. Parking lots are exempt from prohibition
if the permittee's firearms remain secured from view in a privately owned vehicle.
Persons without recognized permits: Travelers without valid permits are
prohibited from carrying handguns with the "intent to go armed." The actions of the person
and the state of the firearms that he has in his possession define this condition. If the weapons
are loaded and carried on his person, he is in violation of the law unless he has a recognized
permit. Thus, vehicle carry of all handguns by non-licensed persons should be limited to ones
that are unloaded. The weapons should be in plain view or secured in commercial gun cases.
Glove compartment or console box carry is not permitted. "Unloaded" refers to handguns that
are void of any ammunition in the magazines or chambers and have no loaded magazines nearby.
Such weapons may be situated anywhere in the vehicle except concealed on or about one's person.
Persons: Rifles and shotguns carried in a vehicle must remain unloaded
separate from ammunition unless one has a recognized carry permit. Tennessee allows permittees
to possess magazine loaded, but chamber unloaded, long guns in vehicles.
Tennessee's preemption statute prevents localities from enacting
new laws regulating the
possession, ownership or transportation of firearms and ammunition. The law grandfathers local
ordinances passed before 1986. But most aspects of licensed handgun carry are regulated exclusively
by the state.

Create and manage ISO images
Special tools are required to create and process ISO images. AcetoneISO offers this functionality, even making it possible to handle multimedia files.
ISO images have become part and parcel of the Linux universe, offering the capability of burning a complete distribution onto CDs and DVDs and thus becoming one of the most important means of distribution.
ISOs also form the basis of creating a bootable USB stick and can be used directly inside virtual machines as well. AcetoneISO lets you adapt ISO images to your personal requirements, allowing you to derive a highly individualized operating system from a standard image; however, AcetoneISO can do considerably more.
This small program can be found in the repositories of popular distributions, from which you can easily install it and all dependent packages via your distribution's package manager. If necessary, you will find the source code on SourceForge [1].

Closing date: noon Wednesday, 20 July 2011
This is my current job which I am leaving at the end of the month due to being appointed ICT Network Manager at a different school. The school is becoming an academy on 1st August. If there is anything else you wish to know, drop me a PM or post here, and I'll do my best to assist you!
Nice! Just about to do a server 2008 r2 course
The only downside is im not the best at policys Did you have much todo with the policys?
Also whats the main thing you do thats hard to get your head around?
I wrote the original policies when we migrated from XP to Windows 7 - but now these are complete so it is only minor tweaking.
I don't find policies a problem if their clean and everyone understand what they do and doesn't touch them without a plan! The problem is when you have a spiderweb of policies without documentation.
if I could relocate, I would, this job would be ideal
Congratulations to the successful candidate, unfortunately it wasn't me - but I came a close second!
That was an excellent IT skills test BTW, I really enjoyed it.
SW-ICT (29th July 2011)
What was on the test?
Setup and fix a dismantled PC (re-seat disturbed memory, reconnect drive cables/power, etc). Boot up, add to domain. Create user account, share a folder and create password.txt file to put in it. Much more interesting that going through the BIOS settings for HDD, plugging in n/w cable, etc that you get at most interviews. The written test was very good too.

To all our Gold Star Families across the Nation, realize you are not alone. Your loved ones live through us every day and are never forgotten. The blood your son or daughter shed and the sacrifice they made was not in vain, they will live in each and every one of us until the day we join them at heavens gates. The courage, honor, and loyalty they showed will live in infamy; every time the flag rises tall and fly's proud and true, it is a testament of our Nations loss of our countrymen and women from each and every battle from history's past to present. Our Nation owes each and every one of our Gold Star Mothers and Fathers a debt of gratitude. Each and every day let us remember that the freedoms we enjoy and experience only came to be because of their son or daughters sacrifice to keep America under a blanket of safety. The men and women we lose are irreplaceable, one of a kind, and there are no words to describe the loss you have went through, unless one has been through it themselves. Know that on Veterans Day, our fallen, your loved ones, and America's true heroes will be remembered and recognized throughout the country. On Veterans Day they're names will echo throughout our nation and forever live in our country's hearts and souls. Join America's Veterans who served on the right and left of your loved ones and find comfort to heal within each other on this day, for you also are not alone.

The grand-daddy (almost literally now) of all movie bodies. The most famous bodybuilder of all time. The man who is arguably to credit with bringing fitness out of the dark iron dungeons of the pre-80′s gym scene and to the masses.
Without Arnold popularizing weight-training in the 70′s – up until that point, people thought it was for wierdo's and 'gay's' – where would the fitness industry be today? And how would those of us who lived through the 80′s have made it out alive through all those male-perms and stone-wash jeans without Arnold leading the way, guns blazing (both kinds).
If you haven't already seen it, Pumping Iron should be the first stop for anybody who works out and claims to be fully male. Pumping Iron is regarded by many as the greatest sports documentary of all time. Not just for the incredible insight into the – at the time – strange world of body building, but for the humor, the mind-games, the discovery of the soon-to-be biggest star in the world, and the fantastic quotes ….
Women might protest that 'too much muscle is gross', but – as we now know – when Arnold's around, panties drop. A thick chest and abnormally large biceps can do wonders for a strange accent and a head like an easter island statue.
Arnold has actually been called by the Guiness Book of World Records "the most perfectly developed man in the history of the world." Not a bad title to carry around.
And with these stats, who could argue it?
His chest to waist ratio in his prime was unreal.
If anyone knows what it takes to build muscle it's Arnold. Note: for those people who roll their eyes and moan that 'he did it with steroids': Steroids don't magically make muscle appear – they'll shrink your balls and maybe give you a touch of gyno – but it takes encyclopedic knowledge of training and nutrition to get to where Arnold got. Which is why the Arnold Schwarzenegger Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding sits on the shelf of any bodybuilder who knows what's good for him.
The book has every exercise and training tip you'll ever need to build a better body. And like Arnold, it's HUGE. If you're thinking of investing in some training books this should be at the top of your list.
Another great book by Arnold is Arnold: The Education of a Bodybuilder. There's a 5000 calorie a day diet in the book for bulking that'll make you feel like a kid in a candy store!
Too old school for ya? You want more modern training methods? Spend all day trying to invent new exercises if you like, but it all comes back to the basics. Lift heavy and eat big and you will grow.
Here's an example of an Arnold Schwarzenegger Workout for biceps and chest:
Biceps: Mon/Wed/Fri
Chest: Tues/Thurs/Sat
As you can see, Arnold trained body parts up to 3 times a week. More than mere mortals could probably get away with. But if you want biceps like Arnold Schwarzenegger you have to train past your limits.
This of course is just a sample of one of many workouts Arnold used to build the world's best body. It would be futile to try to impart even a fraction of the information you would gain by just getting his book on this page. So just get the book .. do it.. now!
There are many workouts on this site that you can use and apply to your own training, but nothing is better than having a book by someone who did it, that covers everything you'll ever need to know. Need some ideas for chest exercises? Flick through to the chest section and Arnold gives you a range of exercises to build into your workout and detail on exactly how you'll benefit. Every body part is covered from every angle. Another pretty knowledgeable fellow you might want to consult with is one Sly Stallone.
Aside from possibly getting a decent nutrition program, a book like The Encyclopedia of Modern Bodybuilding should cover everything else. Read it cover to cover.
And you could look like this at 56 too …
Good Luck …

Funny story. When I was a kid, I couldn't stand the thought of eating macaroni and cheese that didn't come from the blue Kraft box. If my mom or grandma made a rich, gooey 9x13 dish of home made mac-n-cheese I refused to even take a bite!
Now the thought of that processed powdered cheese makes my tummy turn. Who knows what they put in that stuff!? Being older and more conscious of what I'm consuming, I'd rather make my own mac-n-cheese, pizza, ANYTHING if it means I can control my ingredients and/or put a healthy twist on it.
Enter my too-often craving for a good quality, thick, melty homemade mac-n-cheese.
I always make a roux with flour and butter, add milk (I use fat-free skim and sometimes add a touch of half & half or heavy cream to give it an extra boost of richness) and a blend of different good quality cheeses to make my thick, gravy-like cheesy sauce.
This time I had a few slices of bacon in the freezer and a paper bag with some cremini mushrooms in my fridge that needed to be used before they were tossed in the trash. I decided they would be a perfect pair to add to my mac-n-cheese after I picked up some extra sharp cheddar and chipotle smoked gouda at the store. The end result was a spicy, smoky mac-n-cheese that was dangerously delicious!
Here is the recipe for you all!
½ lb. whole wheat elbow macaroni
3-4 slices of center cut bacon, chopped
2 c. sliced cremini mushrooms
5 T. unsalted butter
6 T. all-purpose flour
3 c. milk (I used fat-free skim and a shot of heavy cream)
1 t. salt
¼ t. ground black peper
Pinch cayenne pepper
3 c. grated cheese (I used extra sharp cheddar and chipotle gouda)
½ c. bread crumbs (optional)
Preheat oven to 350° F. Spray a 9x13 baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add a generous amount of salt and macaroni and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and rinse off any extra starch.
Render chopped bacon in a sautee pan until crispy.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels. Sautee mushrooms in bacon grease until soft and completely cooked.
Set mushrooms aside with the bacon.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour, stirring constantly and cook until the flour has absorbed the butter and gets thick. Do not let the flour brown! Add in the milk and cook, stirring with a whisk constantly, until thick and creamy. Add the spices and 2 ½ cups of the cheese and stir well until metled. Add the cooked macaroni, bacon and mushrooms then stir to combine. Pour into the baking dish.
Combine the bread crumbs and remaining ½ cup of cheese (or just take the left over cheese) and evenly sprinkle on top of the macaroni. Bake until cheese topping is golden, about 25 minutes. Let rest at least 5 minutes before serving.

New Year's Eve is a great time to give or attend a party, but before you do, think about what you are doing and make plans.
If you are host at a party where alcohol is being served, you have a responsibility to provide non-alcoholic drinks for those who choose not to drink. While you may not be held liable in Texas if your guests drink and drive, you may be sued if an accident occurs.
As a host, you should supply food because that slows the absorption of alcohol. Steer clear of fruit punches that contain alcohol because that makes it more difficult for someone to gauge how much they are drinking Don't rely on coffee to sober up your guests. Time is the only thing that can do that.
No form of alcohol will make you drunk more quickly than another. One beer, one and one half ounces of 'hard' liquor, and 5 ounces of wine are equally intoxicating.
If a guest appears to have had too much to drink, ask them if you can call a cab for them, have someone drive them home, or arrange a place for them to sleep over. You do not want an accident on your conscience.
If you choose to drink, do so responsibly. If you are a guest, space out your drinks. The body metabolizes about one ounce of alcohol per hour. Rotate alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks and don't forget to eat. Food in your stomach slows the absorption of alcohol.
In 2002, 17,419 people were killed in alcohol related traffic accidents. Over 500,000 were injured. The number of alcohol related incidents always climbs at holiday times. Be a good guest or a great host and don't become part of the statistics this year.
Here are a couple of links that will help you have a sober but fun-filled party.

Mandy's Dangerous Visit0 Reviews
Mandy's Dangerous Visit
Hilary ran up to her mom's door pounding on it screaming, "Mom! Open the door! Hurry!"
Mandy looked down the street towards their house
Hilary's mom swung open the door, "Hilary? What happened?"
Hilary shoved past her and put Mandy down, she swung around and slammed the door. She stood there staring at the floor with both hands on the door. She was gasping for air and sweating.
Her mom grabbed Hilary's shoulders and walked her over to the couch
Hilary walked looking at the floor
Mandy watched them, "What was in the closet?" She asked
Hilary's mom looked back at Mandy, "In the closet?" She asked. She glanced at Hilary, "In the closet? What does she mean?" She sat Hilary down
Hilary shook her head mumbling, "We are still not safe… She will kill me…" She started crying
Her mom sat by her, "Who?" She asked trying to look Hilary in the face
Hilary looked at her, "Megan…" She said, more of a whisper
Mandy watched her mom bawling like she would if she got in trouble or get hurt. Mandy looked at the door and tilted her head, "Daddy left us. He made us leave." She said to herself.
Hilary opened her eyes and looked at Mandy "Billy…" She said to herself. She stood up and walked over to Mandy, "Your daddy, what did daddy want you to tell me?" She asked grabbing her shoulders
Mandy looked at Hilary in the eyes, "I don't know. He was going to tell me while I told you. He never told me."
Hilary's hands dropped
Mandy got tears in her eyes, "Is that bad?" She asked as if she were in trouble
Hilary blinked, "No, no." She said and hugged her, "Everything will be just fine. Daddy will visit again."
Mandy nodded slowly still sobbing a bit
Hilary looked at her mom, "Don't worry mom. But can we sleep down here tonight?"
She nodded, "Yeah…" She turned and started up the steps. Her bedroom door closed
Hilary watched the steps then picked Mandy up and walked over to the couch. She set her down thinking, "When I was running with her, she didn't seem this heavy." She smiled and laid beside Mandy, "Good night Mandy." She kissed Mandy's forehead
"Good night Mommy." She snuggled up to Hilary and soon fell asleep
Hilary closed her eyes and dug her face in the back of Mandy's head and hugged her tighter and fell asleep.
The next morning
"Hilary wake up…"
Hilary looked up hearing Billy's voice, "Billy…"
She saw her mom
"Billy? Hilary it's me, your mom…" She said
Hilary sighed and sat up, "Hi mom…" She said looking away
Hilary's mom stood up, "Mandy is eating cereal in the kitchen." She walked into the kitchen
Hilary sighed and stood up and started walking towards the kitchen. She got to the door and stopped looking down. She placed her hand on the door tears going to her eyes, "Billy, I finally saw you again. Why did you leave me…" She started crying softly, she whipped the tears away and walked into the kitchen, "Morning Mandy."
"Morning mommy!" Mandy said smiling at her and continued eating her cereal, she stopped and looked at Hilary, "I woke up last night. I saw daddy."
Hilary looked at her, "He's ok!" She said her hope building
Mandy nodded, "He told me that he will be back tonight and he will tell us what he wants to." She nodded again eating again
Hilary smiled and looked up, "Thank God." She said closing her eyes
Mandy stood up and whipped off her mouth, "I need to get ready for school. I'll walk tonight ok?" Mandy looked at Hilary smiling
Hilary nodded slowly, "Now remember. Don't go with any strangers or anything ok?" Hilary asked smiling
Mandy nodded picking up her bag, "Alright mommy." She walked out of the kitchen and walked up to the front door and looked back calling, "See you after school!" She walked out
Hilary called after her, "Ok! Bye honey!" She said
Mandy got to school and ran up to Amber Lewis and smiled, "Hi Amber!"
Amber smiled and looked at her, "Hi Mandy! So what's up?" She asked walking
Mandy walked beside her, "Nothing, just daddy visited me last night again." She smiled
Amber smiled, "Why does he only visit you at night?" She asked
Mandy blinked and looked up, "I don't know…" She sighed, "He likes privacy maybe."
Amber laughed, "Yeah maybe. Or maybe he's scared of your mom." She smiled
Mandy laughed but it was obviously fake, "Yeah…"
Amber blinked and sighed, "At least he is visiting."
"It's not that."
Amber blinked and shrugged like what
Mandy sighed, "Mommy said daddy was dead. But I see daddy every night. What's up with that?" She said looking down
Amber blinked, "I have no idea…"
Mandy sighed and looked at her forcing a smile, "Well lets go…" She walked through the school doors
School ends
Mandy walked out with Amber. She ran down the steps and looked at Amber, "Bye Amber and see you tomorrow!" She took off running
Amber waved, "Bye Mandy!" She yelled after her and took off running another way
Mandy is walking and she looked around humming to herself, "Move your body girl… hmmm hmmm hmmm… Move your body girl…" She smiled and laughed at herself.
After awhile Mandy looked up and stopped seeing a house with burnt walls and police line in front of it. It was a really pretty before it almost burnt down she could tell. Mandy blinked seeing something at one of the windows. She walked forward and went under the police line, "Who was that…"
She got up to the door and pushed on it a little and it swung open. She walked in and looked around. She looked at the burnt sliding doors the broken and burnt step and the railing that was burnt as well. She walked forward up to the hallway leading to kitchen. She started walking. She looked at a burnt gas jug. She blinked and looked at the kitchen, "Did someone try to burn this place down?" She stopped hearing something run down the steps. She looked back, "Hello?"
A voice came from all around the hall
Mandy backed up, "Daddy?" She waited and turned around and took off running and ran up to the front door.
Something fell in the kitchen
Mandy looked back
An arm came around the corner
Mandy blinked, "What…"
The body dragged itself around the corner and started down the hall. It was crawling on its side using one arm. A knife was in its chest, and its neck was not straight, looked broken. It looked up at her blood dripping from its mouth. Blood dragged behind it leaving a trail. Its pants were ripped and torn and the body was white, blue skin colored. Not normal colored. It gurgled blood looking at her still coming. The knife dragged along the floor ripping at its skin more.
Mandy blinked, "Who are you!" She screamed. She backed up against the door and opened it and took off running down the street screaming, "Mommy!"

Kudos to Whidbey Island Bank | LETTER TO THE EDITOR
To the editor:
Thank you Whidbey Island Bank in Clinton!
I was pick-pocketed in London last week and Whidbey Island Bank was so helpful. I lost my passport, money, credit and debit cards (to a major bank). My major bank quickly cancelled my cards of course, and "rushed" a new credit card to me (which took six hours of phone calls and five days), but they would not help me receive any money from my checking, savings or credit accounts. Plus, on every phone call to them I was caught for a long time in relaying the same information over and over — maddening!
When I called my wonderful little local bank here in Clinton, a real person answered the phone. And within half a day, after sending them a fax with signatures, etc., my money was in my daughter's bank in London.
Thank you Whidbey Island Bank, for being so service oriented. This makes me more committed than ever to move my money" to my community bank.

I know it's too late but I remember a few people asked me a wcif about the default replacement ice cream. I found the original version/idea here and remade it into a simlish version. So, if you want it…
DOWNLOAD (default replacement)
Thanks to the clown costume, Idol's show was very successful for the first time. I know 90% of the crowd are ALWAYS his own family xD but still!
Preston: Welcome brother-in-law. I've never known I could ever drink the perfect cocktail in my house.
Sabre: I knew I didn't have much time but… I don't know how to explain the feeling of knowing when I'm gonna die.
Dunder: Don't be scared. We will be with you!
I waited long enough but the Grip Ripper didn't appear. Instead, another elder sim in the down died. (Apparently the game randomly decides who to kill every time a save is opened.) So I decided to have Sabre move into the Hitch house once again. This time I didn't feel bad as his wife had already gone.
Sabre: Hey guys, long time no see!
Idol: *weeps* Oh no ;___;
Sabre: Why? What's going on?
So this is how it happened. I got a notification saying Sabre died only few minutes after starting my game. I quit the game immediately and restarted it to share Sabre's last moment ㅠ_ㅠ…
The gift giving party was sooooo boring. It took forever the sims to sit down, and the animation/face expression was… bleh ;___;
Idol: Thank you for coming to our christmas party. Why did you grow a beard, btw?
Sabre: Nah- it's not real. It's… just an unexpected Dresser mod error my christmas costume. Then, what are you? You dressed up like…
Idol: Rudolph.
I spotted Sabre sneaking out of the sushi bar. Aww you never get old. Sabre <3
Meanwhile, Idol resumed working although crowd's reactions wasn't the same as before. Ahhh why does this transparent guy live his life to the fullest? I felt sad for some reason.
Juno: Where were you all when I was blowing out candles? How could you guys only care about the cake? Not me?
Idol visited Sabre Sushi to perform a sing-o-gram and only then I realized Sabre became an elder too ;___;

I play Singed a lot during dominion, and I tend to win a lot of matches (with help from good teams) but recently I've started to wonder is Singed too op? What are your opinions? I just kind of have to assume he is, as I can basically solo 2 or 3 people and usually get away, though not always with a kill.
Senior Member
He has a really low skill cap, so he seems stronger than he actually is.
Singed bot has a couple of really cheesey things he can do/build to let him win lanes that you think he shouldn't be able to win.
It's a certian item that makes all tanky APs op.
A Slime Appears
Singed is one of the most annoying champs to play against in the game. Is he OP? Nah. Is he annoying as ****ing ****? Yes.
he has some hard counters. mostly mages with built-in slows and/or rylais. ie cass, ahri, etc.
I'm mostly just referring to dominion though, singed in summoners rift is good too but it's too hard to get farm unless you go top, and i do more support bottom than anything. however i learned recently that i just can't touch a good jayce.
Bottom lane, yes.
Top lane, absolutely useless.

Love can be one of the most enduring things.
Endurance takes strength and honest feelings.
Strength requires staying away from the games.
Staying means be open, but aware of the flames.
Openness is not to be mistaken for nice.
Niceness is earned when we both sacrifice.
Sacrifice comes with these words spelled above.
These lessons are my thoughts on staying in love.

New Nikon 200mm f2G VR II opens at $6000
Nikon refreshes its 200mm f2G lens by moving to VR II and adding an extra $1K to the current price of the "VR I" lens. The lens features three focusing models (A/M, M/A, M), has 13 elements in 9 groups with 3 ED and one Super ED elements. It also includes a "Tripod Detection Mode" which attempts to do what its name suggests - make adjustments so #togs (oops, this is not Twitter) photographers can use VR on a tripod (oh my?)
Other features include nano crystal coat (from the Burlington coat factory?), internal focus, SWM, SIC (super integrated coating), rugged construction, rounded nine blade diaphragm, full compatible with teleconverts, f22 minimum aperture, nearly 2 meters minimum focusing distance, 0.12x maxmag, 52mm screw-on filters, weighs nearly 3 kilos, product code 2188, and has unicorn detection mode.
The Nikon press release suggests it is good for "all types of shooting". At $6K, it'd better be!
The lens is available for pre-order at Amazon and also listed at B&H Photo.

|October 5, 2011 11:00 AM EDT
CUPERTINO, Calif., Oct. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- As part of its annual Insight event for the analyst community, Trend Micro Incorporated (TYO: 4704; TSE: 4704), a global cloud security leader, today unveiled the company's vision for a smarter security model inspired by a changing security landscape now marked by data breaches, and the opportunities and challenges generated by mobile devices, cloud implementations and targeted attacks.
Trend Micro CEO, Eva Chen, outlined her vision of the new model, the core of which centers on a data-centric, anti-hacker framework:
- The security industry is at a crossroads, facing a complicated horizon that covers an escalation of targeted attacks against companies; growth in the use of unsecured personal mobile devices; and cloud implementations where data can be accessed anytime, anywhere. A bolder approach to security is needed within this new environment where users don't know who or what to trust.
- Unlike traditional, perimeter-centric security, which assumed protectable boundaries surround critical data, the new model recognizes the level to which data is exposed and aims to rebuild lost confidence by shifting focus to the data itself.
- Trend Micro plans to build trust within the post-PC landscape where data and devices are exposed and ubiquitous. The new security model puts the spotlight on data by integrating threat and data protection capabilities within a unified framework, ensuring visibility into who is accessing what data, when, where and how.
- This new model updates and adds to the power of the Trend Micro(TM) Smart Protection Network(TM) infrastructure, which correlates data from more than 70 billion daily queries and has protected more than 130 million users since it was first unveiled in 2008. Customers of all sizes will continue to benefit from this real-time, cloud-based protection.
- Under this vision, the company will build upon the cloud-based security of the Smart Protection Network by adding two essential capabilities developed with the underlying principle that data needs to be protected wherever it travels and wherever it resides:
- Smarter threat protection brings the power of Trend Micro's global, cloud-based detection and correlation technologies inside a customer's environment with newly-developed local threat intelligence throughout their network to identify and protect against targeted attacks.
- Smarter data protection enables integrated data protection and contextual awareness throughout the organization to ensure the confidentiality and protection of valuable data across physical, virtual and cloud environments.
- Trend Micro is delivering more adaptive and contextually-aware security that protects the data itself - whether on a device or server; at home or on the road; in physical, virtual or cloud environments -- and provides the intelligent integration and coordination required to manage, control and defend that data in real time.
Benefits for both businesses and consumers
- For businesses, the realization of Trend Micro's vision will mean better, faster threat protection; adaptive security that enables rather than hinders business productivity; and increased efficiency and manageability of their security, which leads to lower TCO. It means they can embrace the opportunities and advantages of cloud computing and consumerization with new confidence.
- For consumers, Trend Micro will be better equipped to protect their digital lives located on computers, smartphones, or smartpads. With security threats becoming more pervasive and cybercriminals targeting consumers on mobile devices or engaging with friends on social networking sites, consumers of all ages need smarter, more complete protection.
During 2012 and beyond, this smarter new security model will be integrated into select Trend Micro security solutions already powered by the Smart Protection Network, serving customers who are especially concerned about their journey into the cloud, the growth of consumerization of IT within their companies, and the spread of targeted attacks. The model will manifest itself across four main Trend Micro cloud solution "pillars" of: data, infrastructure, mobile devices, and applications.
Supporting quotes:
"Stagnation is not an option in an industry where a multi-billion dollar cybercriminal enterprise works relentlessly to steal customers' data - and their trust. We need to continually innovate to stay ahead, and help our customers regain confidence as we deliver better security. Three years ago, Trend Micro led the industry with the Smart Protection Network, which delivered security from the cloud. Now, we are moving even further ahead in the face of advanced, multi-faceted, targeted attacks by leveraging our scalable cloud security advantage and customizing it for the data, infrastructure, devices and applications supporting the cloud journey."
Steve Quane, Chief Product Officer, Trend Micro
"This is a fundamental change in the approach to security for organizations who have relied on a perimeter-based network security model, and for consumers whose digital lives are increasingly mobile. Our new data-centric framework takes into account the changes required to secure data in an accelerating cloud-dominated world."

A lot of specs that are lacking are lacking all around and aren't really good for anything in Wrath. Subtlety is fine as long as you like having one really good attack every 2 mins and enjoy spending the rest of the time struggling to position behind your target to do an attack that costs 45 energy for about 3k damage -.-
Imo shs should be a much shorter cd than 30 secs. A fucking hunter's disengage is on a shorter cd than our shs...wtf is up with that? Make shs the same cd as disengage if not a little shorter. And seriously folks...buff Backstab's damage. A mut rogue can easily do a 5k mutilate AND he doesn't have to even think about positioning. Against a clever opponent who keeps his back away from a sub rogue, our only real attack, Backstab, becomes virtually useless. Backstab needs to be rethought in general. I liked the idea of a "sneak attack" that can be used regardless of your position relative to you opponent, but does more damage when used from behind. So Backstab would become:
Sneak Attack: You perform a sneak attack causing 150% weapon damage plus 465 to the target, damage is increased by an additional 50% weapon damage plus 60 when striking from behind.
That way you don't have to resort to sinister striking on an opponent who's only goal in life seems to be the show you his front side at all times. Attacks only working when you're behind a target is an archaic mechanic that should be done away with. It's fine for stealth abilities, the target can't see you for heavens sake! But when applied to an ability that you must use in plain sight it becomes unwieldy and frustrating.

maybe because it's monday, but i'm banging my head against the wall trying to get this to work.
I've got 5 tables, each table has a timestamp field (called datetime) and a message field, all i want to do is pull out the last entry that was added from all the tables put together.
I thought something like this would work:
but it doesn't, it generates this error "Column: 'datetime' in field list is ambiguous", i'm guessing maybe joins are needed but i'm not quite sure how to go about it.Code:
SELECT date_format(datetime, '%D %M %Y %H:%i') as datetime,message FROM (table1,table2,table3,table4,table5,) ORDER BY datetime DESC LIMIT 1
If anyone's got any examples it would be greatly appreciated.

I've seen some theories about Old Gods being fungus-like kind of organisms, having a symbiotic relationship with Azerothian races, in many cases it being mutualistic/co-operative in nature.
Even the "Curse of the Flesh" isn't really a curse. It was bad for the Titans to lose their army, but the result was pretty good for the ones turned.
Killing them might destroy the life of Azeroth because they are part of the life cycle, like real fungus are essential to the biogeochemical /nutrients cycle.
It also may not be possible to kill them completely, their external bodies being only (major) part of a much larger organism deep down inside of the ground.
"Even the "Curse of the Flesh" isn't really a curse. It was bad for the Titans to lose their army, but the result was pretty good for the ones turned."
How was it good for the one turned? They lost perfect order and probably immortality (if you are a machine or stone, I don't think you'd die from old age). They gained death, war, famine, illnesses, being pawn in a war between being of unfathomable power (titans vs fallen titan [Sargeras] vs old gods vs lich king) and free will.
We, the players, as humans value free will pretty highly. But really, was it worth all they lost?
Sure it is. You don't know how "good" you have it until you lose something.
So imagine you're an immortal robot/rock monster, and you're only able to follow your pre-defined coding/orders.
Suddenly, you're "free", and severely lacking in the "gonna live forever" aspect. Sure, you may be pretty sad/mad, but (and this is just me assuming) those emotions? They're part of the whole "free will" bundle package (also included? Happiness and the whole lot). You don't get to feel sad when you're following your programming. You only get to feel what you're programmed to feel.
Why do you think the Forsaken are so pissed off? Their old lived were taken away, and they were put under the "programming" of another. They were also suddenly immortal, but what use is it? Sure, you can live forever, but what is the point in the long run? If you're immortal and don't have free will, you're just a tool in the end, something to be used and then set aside when the job is finished.
... or some such nonsense.

Hi I'm Bryan. This site curates what I see. Digital Nomad. Writing my thoughts on being your own boss at bosslee.co
Love to connect on twitter. Follow @leetucksing
The truth is EVERYBODY is struggling. Even "successful" founders with millions in the bank are worried… about keeping their companies alive, finding an exit, not just being a lucky one hit wonder, keeping what wealth they've built up, etc.
What's written below is how I describe my life in 3 lines. I submitted this to yourlifein3lines and it was posted on 20 Jan 2013.
- My father got a dream, his dream was to be a successful entrepreneur; together with my mom, they went through thick and thin- he got successful but lost everything to gambling and alcohol.
- My mom took up the responsibility, pull us through the difficult time and paid back the debts; She has a dream to see me though University because she believes that education is the least she could provide for me. (She gives me so much more)
- I have their dreams like mine; I got through university and started my own company- Now it's time for me to dream wildly
- Learn Learn: I was born poor but I would not die poor. It's always tough in the beginning but hardworking and perseverance will bring you success. We need to have dreams and we cannot stop dreaming.
So true. The best time to start was yesterday. Because when you start early, you have more time to correct your mistake.
So take your first step now. Coz we only live once.
