Welcome to Rhayader
This small market town situated in mid-Wales is a perfect base for
exploring. The name Rhayader or Rhaeadr Gwy in Welsh means 'waterfall on
the Wye'.
Elan Valley Trail
The surrounding countryside can be easily explored by bicycle and has a wide range of places to stay including caravans, camping, bed and breakfasts, self-catering cottages or Hotels. There are plenty of places to provide good food and drink. The town has a wonderful riverside walk, two large free car parks and the nearest Train Station is 12 miles away at Llandrindod Wells - on the Heart of Wales line. Like the other local communities, Rhayader and the surrounding area underwent great changes during Queen Victoria's reign and became a popular place to visit.
Craig Goch Dam - Elan Valley
Early History
The town of Rhayader back to the 5th century. Prehistoric evidence exists of earlier Bronze age and Roman settlements The castle was built by the Lord Rhys of Deheubarth, in 1177 at the fringes of his kingdom to resist the Normans and Flemish. It was rebuilt by him in 1194. This later work may have been reinforcement in the face of a threat, since shortly afterwards the castle fell to Maelgwn and Hywel, sons of Cadwallon ap Madog of Maelienydd, the adjoining kingdom to the east. They almost immediately lost it to English Mortimer forces, but it was soon regained by the Lord Rhys. "The castle of Gwrtheyrnion" (the Rhayader area) was again regained by the Welsh in 1202, although it is not clear how they had lost it. Overall, it lasted only fifty years before being put under siege and destroyed by fire in 1231 by soldiers from North Wales.
Garreg Ddu - Elan Valley
The Rebecca Riots
It was between 1839 and 1844 that the local areas were witness to
rioting. The root of this was the hard lives the poor of both town and
country were living, the perceived lack of interest by those in power
and the pressure from changes that were happening. Tenant farmers and
farm workers across Wales were finding the high toll charges a real
burden. Rhayader had no less than six toll gates on the roads into the
town making journeys and bringing animals into market expensive.
Additionally, prices of stock had fallen harvests were poor. The
increase of tithe payments to the church not helping the situation.
Those not managing had to rely on the new Poor Law Unions and the
Pen-y-garreg Reservoir Elan Valley
The Police Force
Before the creation of the Radnorshire Constabulary each parish had a
constable, held together by a chief constable for each group of
parishes. Pay and training were not provided and those willing to do
this task did so as well as their own jobs!
Centuries old handcrafting skills are used in the
Welsh Royal Crystal glass making workshops. All crystal pieces are
individually mouth blown and hand cut, thus capturing the clarity,
brilliance and sharpness of cut associated with quality crystal ware.
The range of shapes and decorative cuts embraces Traditional, Intaglio
and Celtic design influences, which are unique to Welsh Royal Crystal
Visit Gigrin Farm in Rhayader and watch the breathtaking feats of aerial piracy as Red Kites are being fed. Take a drive down the reservoirs of the lovely Elan Valley towards Devil's Bridge and the seaside town of Aberystwyth. Travel some 25 miles east to the historic town of Presteigne and the visit The Judge's Lodging

TUNIS, Tunisia – The World Bank announced Friday a $1.2 billion package to support Tunisia's economic reforms and stumbling economy.
The much needed cash came on the heels of the announcement a month ago by the International Monetary Fund that a long-delayed $500 million in funding had been released following the passing of a new post-revolutionary constitution.
The World Bank program involves $750 million to support government reforms to promote growth and create employment. Another $300 million is earmarked for decentralization projects to aid the impoverished interior.
A line of credit for $100 million has been created for banks to support small and medium enterprises. Another $50 million will be to promote exports.
"The financial support of the bank will be to move forward the Tunisian reform program during this final year of the democratic transition," said World Bank Vice-President Inger Andersen to state television. "The financing must go to those who need it, not the state."
She added that the bank believed the new constitution would provide the needed base for further economic reforms.
A popular uprising calling for greater freedoms and more jobs overthrew Tunisian dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali three years ago, sparking similar movements across the Arab region. But in the restive aftermath, tourists fled, factories were shuttered by strikes, investment evaporated and inflation soared.
The funds are desperately needed to plug yawning holes in the budget in the face of diminished revenues and the soaring costs of subsidies and salaries. In 2013, Tunisia's budget deficit rose to a prohibitive 8 per cent of GDP.
While growth rebounded somewhat in 2013 to 2.7 per cent, it's not nearly enough to tackle the country's stubborn 17 per cent unemployment rate and shore up the currency. Inflation for 2013 was nearly 6 per cent.

ArenaNet - located in Bellevue, Washington, USA - is the development studio that makes Guild Wars. Their mission is to "create a state-of-the-art, interactive game network and design premier multiplayer online games for dedicated game players."
ArenaNet is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Korean company NCsoft, publishers of other MMORPGs such as Lineage 2, Lineage, City of Heroes, Blade & Soul and Aion.
Note: In colloquial chat, on forums and in this wiki, the name ArenaNet is often shortened to "ANet" or "A.Net".
ArenaNet was founded in 2000 by Mike O'Brien, Patrick Wyatt and Jeff Strain. All three of them came from Blizzard Entertainment and were previously involved in the development of multiplayer online games such as Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, World of Warcraft and the Battle.net gaming network.
The newly-formed business was originally called "Triforge", but was changed to "ArenaNet" shortly after.
ArenaNet was acquired by NCsoft in 2002.
Over the years, ArenaNet has grown to 250+ employees. Besides Mr. O'Brien, the former president of the company, there are several other staff members "visible" to the community, for example Stéphane Lo Presti and Rubi Bayer. A full list of the ArenaNet team can be found in the game credits.
NC West[edit]
On September 10, 2008 NCsoft decided to unite ArenaNet with NC Interactive, NC Europe and NC Austin under the management of a new organization, NC West, based in Seattle by the end of 2008.
Guild Wars[edit]
News and announcements[edit]
There are several outlets which ArenaNet uses to inform players about the game:
- On their website: The GuildWars homepage offers news about the game. For convenient reading, all of those are copied here on the wiki at GuildWars.com News.
- At the login screen: Short messages inform players about important updates while logging in. An archive of all login messages is at Login screen announcements.
- In the game: ArenaNet representatives sometimes use the Frog or the Monastery Scribe to talk to players ingame about new developments. Unofficial transcripts of these sessions are stored at the Frog Talk.
- On the wiki: Several ArenaNet employees use the wiki to release information to the players via the wiki:
- The Community Managers maintain the Developer Updates page.
- Game updates are usually directly reported onto the wiki by Stéphane Lo Presti upon the release of a new build.
- Other ArenaNet employees use wiki pages or their own talk pages to inform about various aspects of the game related to their field of specialisation.
Player feedback[edit]
ArenaNet uses the wiki to give users a possibility to get into contact with the developers regarding various issues:
- Feedback:Main gives access to the bug report, skill feedback, and suggestion articles.
- Stéphane Lo Presti is the French and also the American Community Coordinator for Guild Wars.
- Regina Buenaobra is the Content Marketing Team Lead for both the original Guild Wars and Guild Wars 2.
- Joe Kimmes is involved in provision of general code support for the Guild Wars Live Team, serving as its Technical Designer.
- Note: Using the wiki is a great opportunity to relate comments and grievances to ANet, but please be aware that many players use this feature. Before posting, please check previous topics to see whether your concern already has been addressed and use this page to find out whether you are posting at the correct page, especially whether you are at the correct subpage. And always remember: a friendly question is twice as likely to be answered than an angry rant. Remember, the wiki is not a forum.

YouTuber Trisha Paytas has a history of starting controversies and her latest is a whole lot to digest. On Monday (October 7), the star took to YouTube to seemingly come out as transgender to her 4.9 million subscribers in a video titled "I Am Transgender (Female to Male)."
In the 15-minute video, Paytas, 31, warned viewers that there is no intention for the upload to be a "trolling video," but went on to reveal that she is "1000% transgender" because she doesn't fit feminine stereotype. Despite the reveal, she also said that she identified with her "natural-born identity," which is female. "I identify with men better. People always think there's something wrong with me because I don't have that many girlfriends, but I do love girls. I love their sensitivity and all the stuff like that," she explained. "But that's why I identify more as a gay man because I like guys but I also identify as a guy." Additionally, she said that she didn't "love pronouns like they and them." At time of press, the clip had amassed more than a million views, with a whopping 68,000 thumbs down compared to the 16,000 thumbs up.
Paytas' contradictory remarks prompted a wave of backlash from a batch of LGBTQ stars like friend Gigi Gorgeous and Patrick Starrr, as well as general YouTube users. A day later, the star took notice of the reception and offered up a follow-up video, apologizing for using offensive language. "I never would want to offend that community that I've been so strong for and admired and loved and allied with for so long. Especially the transgender community," she said.
Over on her Instagram account, the star posted the transgender flag, which consists of five horizontal stripes, but the move didn't sit well with many users, who took over the comment section to share their distaste for her video.

Call us today before 2 p.m. & we'll be to your home promptly for McAllen cockroach control & McAllen cockroach extermination service. Call now for a free quote.
There are many kinds of cockroaches; the American and German cockroaches are one of the most common pest problems in McAllen. These cockroaches are often about the size of your thumbnail, have broad, flattened bodies and relatively small heads. Cockroaches are one of the most common household pests, and can transmit disease and trigger allergic reactions in humans.
Cockroaches are nocturnal insects. They prefer to live and feed in the dark, so a cockroach seen during the day is a sign of infestation. Cockroaches tend to prefer dark, moist places to hide and breed and can be found behind refrigerators, sinks and stoves, as well as under floor drains and inside of motors and major appliances. Because they can flatten their bodies to fit into narrow areas, cockroaches may also be found hiding beneath rubber mats, behind wallpaper and within wall cracks. This makes it particularly difficult to get rid of cockroaches.
Cockroach feces will be visible during an infestation. Small roaches produce feces, which resemble coffee grounds or black pepper, while larger roaches expel cylindrical droppings. The quantity of visible feces is oftentimes a good indicator of the level of infestation.
Some species emit unpleasant smells called pheromones. In the event of serious infestation, a strong, oily or musty odor may be present. The bodies of dead cockroaches can also be found throughout the house. Oval-shaped egg cases are sometimes visible behind furniture and in other hidden locations, such as the spaces between books.
If you believe that you have identified a cockroach infestation within your home, contact Fox Pest Control immediately for a free zero-obligation inspection and estimate. We kill cockroaches effectively and promptly!

The president of the Referee Commission of the Mexican Football Federation (FMF), Arturo Brizio Carter, announced that the whistle Adalid Maganda Villalva recovered his work after having denounced acts of racism against him and after having made public that he was unjustifiably dismissed .
The referee returned to training at the FMF facilities for the first time since April 2018 when he was removed from his post. Maganda Villalva has African-American roots, is a native of the town of Huethuetán, municipality of Azoyú, in the state of Guerrero. During a meeting with the head of the commission, Brizio Carter, he received insults such as: "What do you want, black guy?"
"Adalid Maganda returned to the Mexican Football Federation on January 2. He has been training and when he feels strong he will present the physical evidence, there is no grudges, there is nothing of quarrels, all that is over," said Arturo Brizio.

With his public speeches, soaring oratory and all-business public persona, it's easy to think of Barack Obama— or any president, for that matter — as a mythic figure of sorts. Generally, a nation's leader is detached in our minds from personal relationships, quiet intimate moments and the unscripted, un-calculated interactions that make the rest of us human.
The video above blows that notion away, at least for five minutes.
Posted to the Obama team's official YouTube account Thursday, it shows the president stripped of the gloss and booming delivery, thanking a room full of campaign workers for a successful 2012 run. He relates their work to his own early days in politics, lauds their ability and thanks them for having "lifted me up each and every step of the way."
At around the 3:30 mark, Obama's voice chokes up and he wipes away a couple full-on tears that begin to trickle down his face. It's a pretty incredible moment to see from a president and — no matter what your politics — humanizes him in a way no number of viral Twitter pictures ever could.

New York Knicks point guard Raymond Felton has had a rough go of it lately. His ex-wife Ariane Raymondo-Felton filed for divorce on February 18. Six days later, she turned in a gun she said she found in her home to police. New York doesn't play that, and Felton was arrested and charged with three counts of gun possession.
Damn. Divorce sucks. Gun charges suck. Prison, if he ends up there, might really suck. And that might not be the worst of it! Because there's been news that preceding all this, the rotund point guard got his spot blown up by rapper-cum-dry snitch, Fabolous.
On his recent mixtape, The Soul Tape 3, Fab had a song called "Cuffin' Season," in which he shat on Raymond Felton's entire life by rapping about Felton having group sex with four Boston Celtics and a woman who is presumably not Raymondo-Felton.
Four Celtics, Knicks guard, you know Felton/ This nigga in Atlanta AirTran her, no Delta/ Been naughty all year trying to end it nicely/ Summer hoes turning into winter wifeys.
Damn, Raymond. That's an abortion of trust. And damn, Fabolous. That's some snitch-ass shit. Obviously, Fabolous didn't care to share on how he knew what the entire bottom of the NBA Atlantic Division was up to on that fateful flight. That's not how snitches operate. But in any case, here's the song. It actually kind of bangs.
Still not gonna cop that snitch's mixtape, though.

My wife and I are planning a snowboard/snowkiting trip out west for early December 4-10. We realize the earliness of this trip makes things difficult, but it's all we've got to work with. From other very helpful posts on this forum, we have learned that the two most likely places for us to get some good snowkiting action are Island Park, ID, or Skyline, UT.
Goals: To get the best early snowboarding/snowkiting experience that we can for the best price with as little driving around as possible (wife is not a fan of being cooped up in a car). We would preferably be staying closer to the snowboarding and driving for the kiting so we can hit the slopes if there is no wind scheduled for the day.
I'm going to lay out the options that we have discovered so far in hopes that you all can shed some light on the best choices or help reveal new possibilities:
We were originally going to hit up CO until we considered snowkiting. Cheap flights ($300) and lots of good snowboarding, but it is probably too early for Dillon Reservoir to be good and there's no real kiting terrain to speak of there.
Kite mecca! Pretty good flights ($418)
Option 1: Two great kiting options here (Strawberry and Skyline). Skyline is reported to be one of the best early season spots. Only problem is that both of these places are like 2 hours from the ski resorts. The only option that I can see is possibly Sundance Resort, which is only 1 hr 20 minutes away compared to 2+ hours for other resorts. Sundance seems like a pretty small mountain for out west, but probably plenty to keep us entertained when there is no wind (assuming it is open by then).
Option 2: Powder Mountain – Larger mountain with a kiting area built right in. Concerns here are that the kiting won't be as good because it is a small area and we might get skunked on snow/wind. (do they make snow for the kiting area at all or just wait?). This would be a great convenience for us to have both options available at one place, at the risk of not getting to experience Utah's premier spots.
The other great early season spot is supposedly Island Park, ID. Like Strawberry and Skyline, it seems to be a fairly decent drive from any ski resorts. Options for nearby ski resorts are:
Jackson Hole (2 hours):
Pros – Lots of closer snowkiting spots in the Jackson area, assuming we get lucky with an early snow!
Cons –Seems more expensive than other resorts…($600 to fly into Jackson too)
Grand Targhee ( 1:45) – Seems similar to Jackson Hole, smaller, less expensive and closer to Island Park.
Big Sky (1:45) – Pretty epic looking mountain…slightly cheaper flights into Bozeman ($500)
So the first question is, am I missing any obvious early season possibilities that are closer to ski resorts?
The second question is, out of these options, which one is most likely to cough up the goods?
Thanks for any advice!

LEBANON � The students and staff at Lebanon Elementary School are in their fourth week of drinking bottled water while the school waits for test results to determine if a closed well contains arsenic.
Officials shut one of the school�s two wells Oct. 2 after it tested positive for trace amounts of arsenic. The element can be hazardous to health in high doses.
The school continues to wait for test results from an independent company to determine whether to reopen the well.
�We expected the results last week, but they haven�t arrived,� Superintendent of Schools Janet Tyler said. �It can be a moving target as to when test results like these are ready.�
The arsenic showed up during routine well testing, Tyler said. The district immediately shut off the well where the arsenic was detected and notified the state Department of Public Health.
The school was not found to have committed any health violations, administrators said.
But, erring on the side of caution, staff disabled water fountains and began a program of bringing drinking water from the town�s other schools.
Students either brought plastic water bottles or were given paper Starbucks coffee cups to use, Tyler said.
�They�ve made the adjustment very smoothly,� Tyler said.
The school�s second well is being used for lavatory service.
Principal Andrew Gonzalez said the school�s facilities and custodial staff arranged to bring water from the town�s other schools for daily use.
Tyler said the school will take further action when the new test results come back.
�They�ve acted responsibly,� Board of Education member Donna Skaats said.

Words shown in bold in these terms and conditions have the meanings shown below.
Confirmation Letter means the letter we send you to confirm details of your Deemed Contract or the Contract you have agreed with us, or details of the new tariff you have agreed with us. It also means the letter we send to remind you your fixed term tariff is due to end.
Contract means the agreement between you and us for the supply of Energy to the Property. Section 1.2 explains what is included in your Contract.
Deemed Contract means the terms and conditions that apply where you use Energy at the Property but we have not agreed a Contract with you, or your Contract has been terminated.
End Date means the date on which your tariff is due to end, as shown in your Confirmation Letter. If you are on our E.ON EnergyPlan tariff or have a Deemed Contract your tariff does not have an End Date.
Energy means electricity or natural gas or both.
Exit Fee means the fee you have to pay if you switch to another supplier before the End Date.
Green Deal means the government scheme which enables a Property to be fitted with Energy-saving improvements that are paid for through the electricity bills for that Property.
Green Deal Charges means the payments we will collect from you if you have a Green Deal. We will pay these to your Green Deal provider on your behalf.
Network Operator means a company which manages part of the gas or electricity distribution systems which carry Energy to your Property.
Prepayment means a payment method where you do not have a Smart Meter and you pay for your energy in advance through a prepayment meter.
Property means the home or other premises to which we supply Energy under your Contract with us.
Smart Energy Display means a worktop display unit which is provided with a Smart Meter, and which shows your Energy usage and estimated costs.
Smart Meter means a meter that can be communicated with and controlled remotely, for example to obtain meter readings.
Smart Pay As You Go or Smart PAYG means a payment method using a Smart PAYG Meter and where you pay for your energy in advance.
Smart PAYG Meter means a Smart Meter with a prepayment mode available, and with which we are capable of communicating remotely.
Welcome Letter means the letter we send you to confirm your agreement to switch to Smart Pay As You Go, which explains the changes to your Contract with us and confirms your meter change appointment.
1.1 Who is this Contract with?
Your Contract, or Deemed Contract, is between:
- you, the person or persons (individually and together) responsible for the Energy we supply to the Property; and
- us, E.ON Energy Solutions Limited.
1.2 Which terms apply to your Contract?
If you've:
- moved into a Property we already supply; or
- the person who was responsible for Energy at the Property has moved out, so you have now become responsible;
you will be supplied under a Deemed Contract as soon as you start to use Energy at the Property. Your Deemed Contract will continue until you agree a Contract with us. These general terms and conditions apply together with the additional terms and conditions for our E.ON EnergyPlan tariff (section 14) and our E.ON EnergyPlan prices (eonenergy.com/ourstandardprices or call 0333 202 4608). These make up your entire agreement with us.
If you've agreed a Contract with us, these general terms and conditions will apply together with the additional terms and conditions for your current tariff (section 14) and the section labelled 'Your tariff' in your latest Contract Confirmation Letter. These make up your entire agreement with us.
2.1 If you become responsible for a Property we already supply
You should contact us as soon as possible to tell us you are responsible for the Property so we can bill you accurately. We can also tell you about other tariffs we have which may be better for you (go to eonenergy.com/services or call 0333 202 4608).
If you move into a Property with a prepayment meter and there is no credit or emergency credit on the meter, you may not have a supply of Energy. You will need to contact us on 0345 303 3040.
If you are a landlord and your tenant has moved out and no-one else has moved in, you will be charged if you use Energy while the Property is empty.
2.2 Switching to us
When you switch to us from another supplier, you have at least 14 days from the day you agree this Contract to change your mind – this is the cooling off period. We'll tell you when your cooling off period ends in your Confirmation Letter. If you do change your mind, contact us using the contact details we provide and we'll arrange to stop your switch.
We'll check your credit rating to see whether you might have problems paying your bills on time. We'll ask you for your permission before we do this, but if you refuse you will need to meet certain conditions before we will agree a Contract with you.
We'll also check your credit rating if you want to change from Prepayment to another payment method. If you refuse permission for this we won't agree to the change.
When we do a credit check we'll check our own records (if we already supply you or have supplied you in the past 12 months) and get information about you from a credit reference agency (see eonenergy.com/fairprocessing, or call us on 0345 301 4905 for more information).
Depending on the results of the credit check we may:
- require you to pay by a particular payment method; and/or
- request a security deposit;
- require you to pay by Prepayment which will mean having your meter changed and will restrict the tariffs we can offer you.
Your switch should be completed in no more than 21 days unless:
- you've agreed a later date with us;
- your old supplier has objected to the switch, for example because you owe them money;
- we haven't been able to obtain all the correct information we need to complete the switch despite taking all reasonable steps;
- any other circumstances outside of our control.
2.3 Which tariff are you on?
If you are in a Deemed Contract, your tariff will always be E.ON EnergyPlan, which is a variable price tariff. Your prices can change at any time.
When you agree a Contract with us we'll also agree a tariff with you. We'll send you a Confirmation Letter with all the details about your tariff. See the additional terms and conditions for your current tariff (section 14) for more information.
While you are in a Contract with us you may switch supplier or tariff at any time. If you are on a fixed price tariff and you switch supplier before the End Date, we may charge you an Exit Fee – your Confirmation Letter will tell you about this.
For more information about our tariffs, go to eonenergy.com/services or call 0333 202 4608.
2.4 Ending your Contract
Your Contract will end when your switch to another supplier is complete or your supply is permanently disconnected.
In rare circumstances, the Energy regulator Ofgem may arrange for another supplier to take over the supply at your Property. If they do, your Contract with us for a supply of Energy will end. Your new supplier will contact you if this happens.
3.1 Standards of service
Your Energy is delivered to your meter by your local Network Operator. Details of your local Network Operator are provided on your bill or statement.
We and your Network Operator aim to give you a high standard of service at all times but, despite all reasonable efforts, your Energy supply may be interrupted or of a lower quality due to circumstances outside our or their reasonable control. At least once a year we'll send you information about the level of service you should expect and any compensation you may be eligible for if we don't meet those standards or you can go to eonenergy.com/guaranteedstandards or call 0345 052 0000.
3.2 Electricity national terms of connection
We are acting on behalf of your electricity Network Operator to make an agreement with you. The agreement is that you and your electricity Network Operator both accept the National Terms of Connection (NTC) and agree to keep to its conditions. This will happen from the time that you enter into this Contract and it affects your legal rights. The NTC is a legal agreement. It sets out rights and duties in relation to the connection at which your Network Operator delivers electricity to, or accepts electricity from, your Property.
If you want a copy of the NTC or have any questions about it, please write to: Energy Networks Association, 1st Floor, 4 More London Riverside, London, SE1 2AU: phone 0207 706 5137 or visit the website at connectionterms.co.uk.
3.3 Emergencies
You need to tell us if you have a medical condition or disability. We will let your Network Operator know so that if there is an emergency they will, where possible, ensure you are not without essential heating and lighting.
In a gas emergency, we or your Network Operator may ask you to turn down gas equipment or stop using gas. You need to follow any instructions you receive at the time.
With effect from 1 October 2015, if your gas supply is disconnected as a result of a "Gas Deficit Emergency" you may be eligible for a one-off payment calculated in accordance with the Uniform Network Code (the rules governing the transportation and supply of gas). We will apply the payment to your account as soon practicable after we receive a notice from the gas transmission grid operator to pay it.
A Gas Deficit Emergency is a gas emergency declared by the gas network emergency co-ordinator for Great Britain as a result of insufficient gas being delivered to the gas network.
3.4 Meter faults and problems
If you think your meter is faulty you can ask us to test it. If it is not faulty you will be charged for the test. If we think your meter is faulty we will arrange to have it tested and we will pay for the test.
If your meter is found to be faulty, we will estimate how much Energy you have used until the fault is fixed.
3.5 Inspecting your meter
Whatever type of meter you have, we need to inspect it at least every two years, which will include taking a meter reading. We may charge you our costs if you don't allow us to have reasonable access to your meter, including any costs relating to getting a warrant.
3.6 Access to your meter
You have to allow your Network Operator, us or anyone we authorise to access your meter. If it isn't an emergency, this will be at reasonable times. We will take reasonable care while we are in your Property.
If you sign up to a Green Deal for your home, or take on responsibility for a Property that has a Green Deal, you are responsible for payment of the Green Deal Charges due for that Property. We will bill and collect Green Deal Charges on behalf of your Green Deal provider through your usual method of payment. If your payment method is Prepayment we will collect these charges through your meter.
Green Deal Charges are not included in the prices we agree with you when you switch to us or switch to one of our other tariffs. We will write to you about your Green Deal Charges as soon as your Green Deal provider or your old supplier tells us what they are.
Your Green Deal Charges will be shown separately on your electricity bill or statement. Any payments you make to us will be split fairly between your Green Deal Charges and any other charges due from you.
5.1 Your Energy charges
Your Energy charges are based on the standing charge and unit rates for your tariff and the amount of energy you use, less any discounts you are eligible for, plus VAT. In some cases additional charges may apply – see section 5.4.
5.2 Working out how much Energy you've used
We'll bill you in kilowatt hours (kWh).
Your gas meter measures your Energy usage in either cubic metres or cubic feet. How much Energy you get from that gas depends on a number of things, such as the quality of the gas and the pressure in your pipes. We will convert your meter reading into a kWh Energy value as required by the Gas Act 1986.
Your electricity meter already measures your Energy in kWh so we don't need to convert your meter reading. To work out how much Energy you've used, we need readings from your meter.
If you have a Smart Meter, in most cases we'll be able to read your meter remotely. We'll do this once a month, when we'll collect meter readings for each day of that month unless:
- you've agreed we can collect your usage data on a half-hourly basis;
- you've told us you only want us to take a monthly meter read.
We'll also try to read your Smart Meter remotely when your prices change or you move to another E.ON tariff or you move house. If you switch to another supplier we may read your meter remotely and send the reading to your new supplier, providing we have an agreement with them to do this.
If you have a normal credit meter we'll send a meter reader to your Property to read your meter from time to time, or you can provide us with meter reads (eonenergy.com/meterread or call 0345 052 0000).
5.3 When we use estimated reads
- we don't have a recent meter reading around the time we are due to send you a bill or statement of account; or
- the reading we have doesn't appear to be correct; and/or
- we discover that your meter is faulty or has been damaged or tampered with;
we'll estimate how much you've used. Our estimate will be based on your previous meter reads or, if we don't have any meter reads, average Energy usage for a similar property.
If you disagree with our estimate you can provide us with meter reads (eonenergy.com/meterread or call 0345 052 0000).
5.4 Other charges
In some circumstances we may apply additional charges, including:
- replacement meter cards, payment cards or copy documents, for example bills or statements;
- testing your meter if you think it is inaccurate;
- charges relating to removing, inspecting (rather than meter reading), re-installing, testing, installing or repairing a meter;
- changing the position of a meter at the Property;
- charges relating to making a connection to your local Energy network;
- an Exit Fee – see your Confirmation Letter to see if Exit Fees apply on your tariff;
- fees or charges relating to recovering money you owe us;
- charges relating to disconnection or reconnection at your request;
- charges relating to our legal rights to enter your Property or to disconnect your supply;
- charges required by law or under our regulations, or as directed by Ofgem, the Energy regulator;
- Green Deal Charges
For more information about additional charges go to eonenergy.com/additionalcharges or call 0345 301 4905.
5.5 Discounts
You will receive a discount on your Energy bills:
- if we supply you with both gas and electricity at the same Property (dual fuel); and/or
- if you manage your account online and agree to receive your bills or statements of account by email (paperless billing).
Discounts are shown as a yearly amount but are applied to your account daily, so if you leave us before the end of a year we'll pay you for the number of days we supplied you.
If your payment method is Smart Pay As You Go, your discounts will be included in the standing charge we apply to your meter each day.
If your payment method is Prepayment your discounts will be paid either by voucher or cheque. If the amount owing to you is less than £1, we will carry the amount over to your next statement. If there is an amount of less than £1 owing to you on your final bill, you will need to call us on 0345 303 3040 to request a cheque and confirm where we should send it to.
5.6 Sending you a revised bill or statement of account
If, after we've sent you a bill or statement of account (including a final bill), we find out:
- that it was based on inaccurate or incorrect readings;
- the information we had about your meter was incorrect; and/or
- your meter was not correctly calculating your usage;
we will send you a new bill or statement of account or send you a new final bill.
6.1 Paying in advance
If you pay by Prepayment or Smart Pay As You Go, you will need to keep your meter topped up to ensure you continue to have a supply of Energy.
If we agree to fit a prepayment meter at your Property at your request we may charge you our reasonable costs. We will send you a statement of account at least once a year. Go to eonenergy.com/prepaymentquestions or call 0345 303 3040.
Smart Pay As You Go
If we agree a payment method of Smart Pay As You Go with you we will need to fit a Smart PAYG Meter unless you already have one. You will not have to pay to have a Smart PAYG Meter fitted, however if your current meter is not easy for you to get to you will need to arrange for it to be moved and you will have to pay for this.
You have 14 days from the day you agree to switch to Smart Pay As You Go to change your mind. If you do change your mind, call the number in your Welcome Letter to tell us and we'll move you back to your previous payment method. If we've already fitted your Smart PAYG Meter we may need to change your meter back to do this.
We will agree a date with you to fit your Smart PAYG Meter and send you a Welcome Letter. If, when we come to fit your meter, we find your Property is not suitable for a Smart PAYG Meter or for Smart Pay As You Go we will cancel the changes we agreed as shown in your Welcome Letter and switch you back to your previous payment method. If you currently have a prepayment meter and have agreed a fixed term tariff with us we will also need to move you back to your old tariff. We will write to you confirming this within 14 days.
The standing charge for Smart Pay As You Go is lower than it is for most other payment methods. If you change to another payment method, or we have to move you back to your previous payment method, your standing charge may increase. Your Confirmation Letter or Welcome Letter will tell you more about this.
After we have fitted your Smart PAYG Meter, you will be sent a final bill or statement of account for your previous payment method. You must pay any amount outstanding within 14 days unless we have agreed a payment plan with you. If the amount remains outstanding after 28 days we will collect it from your Smart PAYG Meter in daily instalments at around midnight each day. We will write and confirm this and tell you how much we will collect before we take the first instalment.
You can top up your Smart PAYG Meter in various ways: your Welcome Pack will provide full information. If you top up at a retail outlet you will be provided with a voucher code on your receipt. You need to contact us, either online or by telephone, to give us this code so we can top up your meter. You must keep your voucher code safe until you do this; if you lose it we will not be able to top up your meter and the code cannot be reissued; it will be the same as if you lost cash.
If we cannot communicate with your Smart PAYG Meter this means that messages, including payments, may not be able to be sent to the meter. If you have provided an email address or mobile phone number we will provide you with a code to enter into your Smart PAYG Meter to top it up. You can also call the number in your Welcome Letter to request the code.
Where possible we will send you alerts, for example to warn you that the credit on your meter is low. These alerts can be sent to your mobile phone if you have provided us with a number or by email if you have provided an email address. You can opt into or out of alerts at any time. You need to tell us if you change your contact details.
If you do not top up to meet your Energy needs, your Smart PAYG Meter(s) will automatically disconnect when your balance reaches zero. Further information is available at eonenergy.com/payg-help.
If your electricity meter has disconnected you can activate the emergency credit by pressing a button on your meter or you can top up to bring your account back into credit. You may need to press a button on your meter before your supply can be restarted.
If your gas meter has disconnected you can activate the emergency credit by pressing a button on your meter or you can top up to bring your account back into credit. You will need to press a button on your meter to restart your supply.
We will review the amount you owe us each month against the amount you have paid. We may need to adjust the amount owing on your meter if these amounts don't match. This could be because the calorific value of the gas you were supplied with is different from what we expected. For more information go to eonenergy.com/payg-help, or call one of our advisors. We will send you a statement of account each year.
6.2 Paying by fixed monthly Direct Debit
If you agree to pay by fixed monthly Direct Debit we will agree your initial Direct Debit with you and confirm this in writing. We may need to change this from time to time if your prices change or you use more or less Energy.
We will review the amount of your fixed monthly Direct Debit payment at least once a year on your anniversary date, and we'll give you at least ten working days' notice of any changes to the amount or the date the amount will be taken.
We will send you statements of account at least once every six months. You can contact us at any time to arrange to receive statements quarterly. Call us on 0345 052 0000.
When we set up your fixed monthly Direct Debit payments, we'll agree a date with you to collect payments from your bank. If your bank refuses to pay us on the date agreed, we'll try to collect the payment again. If the payment fails again, or if you tell us you no longer want to pay by fixed monthly Direct Debit, we'll give you nine working days' notice that we will start sending you bills instead of statements of account which you will have to pay within 14 days. If we do this your standing charge will be increased by the amount shown in your Confirmation Letter.
6.3 Other methods
For all other payment methods we will send you bills at least once every quarter. Payment is due when you receive your bill and no more than 14 days after it was sent to you, unless we agree a different regular payment method with you.
If you genuinely believe that an amount shown on your bill is not correct you should contact us straight away. You must pay any amount that is not genuinely disputed.
6.4 Changing your payment method
You can ask us to change your payment method at any time. If we agree we'll write and confirm the details of the changes to your Contract and tell you when the change will take place. In some cases changing to a different payment method may mean an increase to your standing charge - see your latest Confirmation Letter for details.
If you want to change to Prepayment we'll tell you about the costs and give you a cooling off period of 14 days in case you change your mind. If, after the cooling off period ends, you decide you want to switch back to a credit meter, you will have to pay our reasonable costs. If you change to Prepayment the tariffs available to you will be limited.
If you want to change from Smart Pay As You Go to any other payment method we'll need to check your credit rating. If you refuse permission for this we won't agree to the change. See section 2.2 for more information about credit checking.
6.5 How we allocate your payments
Except where you have a Green Deal, we'll use your payment to pay off your Energy charges first and then your non-Energy charges. In both cases we'll pay off the oldest charges first. If you have more than one account with us, we will decide which account to make the payment to, except where we've agreed a payment plan in respect of a specific account.
6.6 Credits on your account
If there is a credit on your account you can contact us with an up to date meter reading, and we will arrange a refund unless we reasonably believe it is not appropriate to do so. If it is not appropriate, we will explain the reason to you.
6.7 What to do if you are having difficulty paying
You must call us on 0345 052 0000. We may be able to agree a payment plan with you and give you advice on how you may be able to reduce your Energy bills. If you do not contact us we will charge you our costs of recovering the money you owe.
6.8 If you don't pay your bill on time
If you don't pay us as agreed we may:
- change how often we send you a bill;
- apply charges which reflect our reasonable costs of recovering overdue amounts;
- move you to our standard variable tariff (E.ON EnergyPlan);
- ask you for a security deposit;
- require you to pay for your energy in advance. If you have a Smart PAYG Meter, we will change it to prepayment mode and change your payment method to Smart Pay As You Go; otherwise we will install a prepayment meter, change your payment method to Prepayment and, if you are on a fixed price tariff, move you to E.ON EnergyPlan which means you may have to pay more for the Energy you use. We will also set the amount of the charges on your meter to include an additional amount to recover any money you owe us for Energy and any charges for recovering the money you owe us – we'll write and tell you about this;
- require payment from any benefits you receive; and/or
- as a last resort, disconnect your Energy supply (see section 9).
We inform credit rating agencies about how you manage your account. If you do not pay us as agreed, it may affect your credit rating.
If you're no longer responsible for the Property, you need to tell us or we'll continue charging you until someone else takes responsibility for the supply. You must provide us with a final meter reading and your new address so we can send you your final bill. If you have a Smart Meter we will take a remote reading and clear your personal data from the meter and the Smart Energy Display. You must leave the Smart Energy Display in your old Property.
We will send your final bill within six weeks of moving or us finding out that you have moved and you must pay it no more than 14 days after it was sent to you. We'll use the final reading if you've given us one, otherwise we'll use the new occupant's reading or our reasonable estimate.
If you move out of a Property where Green Deal Charges are due, you will have to pay all Green Deal Charges due up until the date you move out in addition to any other charges due to that date. Any Green Deal Charges due after the date you move out will be charged to the new owner or tenant or, if the Property is empty, to the landlord.
If you switch supplier we'll take all reasonable steps to enable your switch to be completed within 21 days of receiving notification from your new supplier.
We can prevent you from switching if you owe us money. If your payment method is Prepayment or Smart Pay As you Go, you can switch supplier as long your debt is no more than £500 per fuel. Both you and your new supplier will need to agree to your debt being moved.
If you have a Smart Meter, some of its functions may not work fully with your new supplier. Speak to us or your new supplier for more information. If your payment method is Smart Pay As You Go we'll set your meter to credit mode (paying in arrears rather than in advance). We will clear the settings held on your meter and Smart Energy Display at around midnight on the day your switch is complete.

- damage which is beyond our reasonable control however it was caused (including because of our negligence).
If the Network Operator causes you loss or damage, our responsibility will be limited to the amount we are entitled to recover from them on your behalf.

You must take reasonable care of the metering equipment at your Property, including protecting it from weather. You are responsible for providing or replacing any meter box or other covering for the meter.
It's illegal and dangerous to interfere with our equipment or the Network Operator's equipment, for example to steal (or try to steal) Energy.
You must let us know immediately if you believe your meter is damaged or has been tampered with. If the damage was caused by you or because of your negligence, we will charge you for repairing or replacing your meter. We may prosecute anyone responsible for damaging or tampering with metering equipment.
If you have a Smart Meter, you must not allow anything to interfere with its ability to communicate with us.

12.1 Using personal data to manage your account
We will use personal data we hold about you (including data obtained from your Smart Meter) and data we obtain from other organisations, for example Network Operators and credit reference agencies, to manage your account.
If your Contract with us is with more than one named person we will hold personal data in a common record, including any information you tell us about any medical conditions or disabilities. You need to get the other named person's agreement before you give us information about them.
If you move house and move into another property we supply, we will link your personal data with the details for the Energy supply at your new address.
In addition to using your personal data to manage your account, we may use it:
- to assess whether you may have problems paying your bills, which we do by checking our own records and those held by our credit reference agencies. This includes using automated credit scoring systems;
- to provide you with tailored Energy efficiency advice;
- for research purposes.
We may monitor and record our conversations with you for security, for example as evidence you have entered into a Contract with us, and also for training purposes and to help improve the quality of our services. We won't record information such as credit or debit card details.
12.2 Sharing your data
We'll obtain information from different sources, including our partners, other organisations involved in servicing your account such as Network Operators, and information in the public domain. We will match this data with our own to help ensure the data we hold about you is accurate and up to date.
We may share your personal data with:
- electricity Network Operators, so that when there is a power cut or emergency they can keep you informed about restoring your supply;
- other people where you have authorised us to, or where they are named on your account;
- other suppliers where you wish to transfer your supply;
- credit reference agencies, in order to cross check your details;
- credit reference agencies, to inform them about how you manage your account and whether you have any outstanding debt. They may then share this data with others for credit checking purposes;
- social services or other agencies if we think you need additional support;
- other Energy suppliers, landlords or housing associations if we or another organisation suspects the Property is connected with fraud;
- debt collection agencies;
- organisations who are providing you with a service, for example to provide you with Green Deal, enable you to compare your Energy consumption with similar homes, or offer you rewards;
- organisations who are carrying out research for us, market regulators and consumer protection organisations.
- organisations for the detection, investigation and prevention of crime.
We will not share your personal data with social networking sites or other online media without your permission. If you share personal data with us or link your social media account with ours, we may use that data in accordance with this section 12. You are responsible for all personal data you share with us through social media.
Some of the organisations we share information with may be outside the European Economic Area. We'll make sure there is adequate protection for your data to the equivalent standards we have in the United Kingdom.
12.3 Using your personal data for marketing purposes
We will not use your personal data to send you marketing materials if you have told us you do not want to receive this type of information. We will contact you in the ways that you have told us we can.
We won't share your personal data with other organisations, including those in the E.ON group, for marketing purposes unless you have told us we can.
You can tell us at any time that you want us to stop using your personal data for marketing purposes, and/or stop us from sharing your personal data with other organisations for marketing purposes. Contact us on 0345 052 0000.
12.4 Your rights
You can get a copy of the personal data that we hold about you. We may charge you a fee for this.
If you believe that any of the information we hold about you is inaccurate or out-of-date, you need to let us know as soon as possible so that we can bring our records up to date. To do this, or for more information, you can contact us 0345 052 0000.
If you have made a joint application or given us information about a spouse or partner, they have the same rights regarding their personal data under this Contract as you do.
13.1 If we supply you in England or Wales, this Contract is governed by the laws of England and Wales. If we supply you in Scotland, this Contract is governed by Scottish law.
13.2 Nothing in your Contract affects any legal rights you have.
13.3 We may transfer this Contract to another company. If we do, it won't affect your rights to end the Contract. We will share your personal data with the new company to enable them to continue supplying you.
13.4 If your Contract with us is with more than one named person, you will all be responsible both together and individually for any money owed to us.
13.5 If you decide to have your meter fitted or maintained by your own metering agent (who must be accredited in accordance with the law), or if you change the use of the Property to business premises, we will end this Contract and supply you on different terms. Contact us in advance and we will advise you what you need to do.
13.6 If a court of law decides that one or more of the terms in this Contract is not valid, the remaining terms and conditions will still apply.
13.7 E.ON is a mandatory Feed-in Tariff (FIT) supplier. This means that if you have a FIT installation accredited by Ofgem, we will make FIT payments to you in accordance with the Feed-in Tariffs Order 2012 as amended and our electricity supply licence.
13.8 Most of E.ON's telephone numbers start with 0333 or 0345, which means your calls will be charged at the local rate even where you contact us from your mobile phone. Most of our phone lines are available to take your calls Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm. We may change our opening hours from time to time.
If there is anything in these tariff terms and conditions that contradicts the terms and conditions in sections 1-13, these terms will take precedence.
On this tariff you must provide us with your email address and notify us if it changes. You agree, for the duration of this tariff:
- to register your online account within 30 days of receiving your account number
- to be supplied with electricity by E.ON (or both electricity and natural gas)
- to receive paperless billing
- to pay by fixed monthly Direct Debit
- that we can send all communications to you by email or SMS
If you do not meet the above conditions we may remove you from this tariff and move you to our standard variable tariff (E.ON EnergyPlan) unless you agree to switch to another of our tariffs for which you are eligible.
14.1 About your prices
Your prices are shown in your Confirmation Letter. These prices will stay the same until the End Date shown in your Confirmation Letter, unless:
- your monthly Direct Debit fails (see section 6.2) or you stop paying by this method;
- you owe us money and we have told you we need to fit a prepayment meter (see section 6.8);
- we are required by law or regulation to make a change (e.g. a change to the rate of VAT); or
- we are instructed to charge you different prices by the government or Ofgem, our regulator.
E.ON Saver Fixed 1 Year is only available to customers with a standard credit meter or Economy 7 credit meter.
You can arrange to switch to another of our tariffs or to another supplier at any time without giving notice. If you switch supplier before we send you your renewal notice we will charge you an Exit Fee, as shown in Confirmation Letter.
14.2 What happens at the End Date
You'll receive a renewal notice from us about 6 weeks before your End Date to remind you that your tariff is coming to an end.
Your renewal notice will tell you about the E.ON EnergyPlan prices and terms and conditions that you will be switched to after the End Date unless you agree a new tariff with us or another supplier. You can find details of our other tariffs by going to eonenergy.com/services or calling us on 0333 202 4608.
- you switch to another E.ON tariff no more than 20 working days after your End Date; or
- you switch to another supplier, and:
- your new supplier notifies us of your switch within 20 working days of your End Date (this will normally be after a cooling off period of up to 14 days); and
- your switch is completed within three weeks of us receiving that notice;
we will keep you on your old E.ON Saver Fixed 1 Year prices and terms and conditions until your switch is complete.
If you owe us money when we receive notice from your new supplier about your switch, we may prevent you from switching. We will write and tell you about this, and give you 30 working days to pay the money you owe us. If you do this and your switch is completed within three weeks of paying your bill, we will continue to supply you on your old E.ON Saver Fixed 1 Year prices and terms and conditions until your switch is complete.
14.3 E.ON EnergyPlan
Once you have been switched to this tariff you will stay on it unless you agree a new tariff with us or another supplier. E.ON EnergyPlan does not have an End Date. You do not need to give us notice of leaving us and we will not charge an Exit Fee.
Increasing our E.ON EnergyPlan prices or changing these terms and conditions to your disadvantage
We will write and tell you at least 30 days before the changes are due to take effect. If you don't want to accept the changes you can arrange to switch to one or our other tariffs or to another supplier.
- you switch to another E.ON tariff no more than 20 working days after the changes take effect; or
- your new supplier notifies us of your switch within 20 working days of the change taking effect (this will normally be after a cooling off period of up to14 days); and
we will keep you on your old E.ON EnergyPlan prices and terms and conditions until your switch is complete.
If you owe us money when we receive notice from your new supplier about your switch, we may prevent you from switching. We will write and tell you about this, and give you 30 working days to pay the money you owe us. If you do this and your switch is completed within four weeks of paying your bill, we will continue to supply you on your old E.ON EnergyPlan price and terms and conditions until your switch is complete.

If you're a female with a pulse and a profile on OKCupid, you've gotten a molesty message or two. Maybe you ignore. Maybe you say you're not interested. Here's a better tactic: just respond with non-sequitur spam-sounding tweets from @Horse_ebooks.
Believe it or not, some very earnest dudes actually think this constitutes flirting, as documented many times in the genius Tumblr, Okebooks:
Here's one example from OKebooks of guy who's utterly relentless:
All these masterful OKebooks trolls are just great. Due in part to the fact that these OKCupid scum are so clueless and so persistent, they just don't get it's a joke. Their loss is our gain, because it's hilarious for the rest of us. [OKebooks]

The test format is modelled after the NSW Opportunity Class (OC) Test to help prepare for entry into year 5 and 6 in Opportunity Class (OC) schools
Our tests contain 35 questions that are to be completed within 30 minutes. All tests contain a mixture of questions in Mathematics, General Ability and Reading Comprehension.
OC schools cater to students that typically demonstrate skill levels above average of the class they intend to enter. OC schools also form the natural progression path for students to later enter into year 7 Selective Schools because the advanced learning pace in OC schools give students somewhat of an advantage over others preparing for NSW Selective Schools.
Number of questions
For the Opportunity Class (OC) practice tests, there are currently approximately 1665 questions in this database.
These online practice tests can be used, not only by NSW school students, but by students in all Australian states that are preparing their children for curriculum at this level.
Test Practice Modes
"PRACTICE" Mode:
These are non-Timed tests. Questions are served randomly from the entire question database. It is possible to get the same question across different tests, since the number of questions is limited in the database. No history of your performance on these tests is saved (except the last test taken for each subject).
"TimedScore" Mode:
The questions contained in each TimedScore test are pre-defined, and you have a limited amount of time within which to complete a test. They simulate the real-world exams. Questions come from the same database as the Practice Mode tests. History of your tests is stored for the entire duration of your membership. You can review every question from the tests you took in the past at any time.
You can take the same TimedScore test as many times as you like, until you perfect it!
There are numerous practice tests in English, Mathematics and General Ability. Essay competitions are held multiple times every year. The practice tests are modelled after the NSW Selective High School Test.
The four subjects that we cover are:
For the Selective School practice tests, there are currently approximately 3765 questions in this database, with approximately 1125 English, 1200 Mathematics and 1440 General Ability questions.
Also, an Essay Competition is held every few months. Entry is free for all Selective Package members and feedback is provided to all participants

Turns out all that Alexandre "Cacareco" Ferreira (18-6 MMA, 0-1 UFC) injured may have been his career.
The one-time UFC fighter, who was expected to fight in August at "UFC 134: Silva vs. Okami," was not pulled from the card due to an injury but rather because he has been released by the promotion.
MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) today confirmed the roster move, which was first reported by Sherdog.com.
While UFC officials have yet to comment on the matter, the Sherdog report cited Ferreira's unwillingness to sign a bout agreement to face fellow Brazilian Rousimar Palhares (12-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) at UFC 134, which takes place Aug. 27 at HSBC Arena in Rio De Janeiro and features a pay-per-view headliner between UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva and top challenger Yushin Okami.
Dan Miller (13-5 MMA, 5-4 UFC) was recently announced as a replacement for Ferreira.
A submission specialist who has been fighting professionally since 1998, Ferreira long begged for a shot at the bigtime. That shot came this past November when he was beaten in the first round by Vladimir Matyushenko at UFC 122. Prior to this latest debacle, the Ferreira was expected to face Palhares at March's UFC on Versus 3 event, but he withdrew from the card after massive flooding affected his home state in Brazil.
For the latest on the UFC 134 card, stay tuned to the UFC Rumors section of MMAjunkie.com.

This was a great week for stories, but right now I'm focused on the upcoming storm. We're about to get hit with a wave of exciting releases, and it's going to be a challenge to play them all and get the coverage out in a timely manner. I know, I know... first world problems. Still, things are about to get intense. Start saving your money.
For now, let's take a look at the stories that had everyone talking last week.
"For the swarm!" Inside the world of professional StarCraft players: First in Korea and now in the US, StarCraft players have gone pro. Ars attends a Major League Gaming championship to find out just how big competitive gaming has grown.
Bodycount is out now, it's $60, and it's terrible: Bodycount gets points because the game works, but there's nothing else about it that makes it stand out in a very crowded genre. There are a few attempts at individuality, but they go nowhere. This is not worth your time or money.
Portal designer proposes a Quantum Conundrum at PAX: Kim Swift is one of the designers behind Portal, and she was at PAX to show off her latest game. Quantum Conundrum takes the skeleton of the Portal series and adds a dimension-shifting mechanic to create a series of clever puzzles.
Minecraft developers release trailer for new game Scrolls: A trailer from the developers of Minecraft for their upcoming title Scrolls shows off the art style, scroll creation, and the briefest glimpse of combat.
Notch explains why you can't find Minecraft on Steam: Why isn't Minecraft for sale via Steam? The game's creator explains the situation, pointing out what he wants to do is "incompatible" with what Valve wants to do.
What Battlefield 3 needs to steal from Modern Warfare 3, and vice versa: Battlefield 3 and Modern Warfare 3 are locked in mortal combat for your first-person shooter dollars, but we wish the two games would borrow a few things from each other. Here's our list of what each game needs to take from the other.
On Space Pirates and Zombies, and an update to our review process: We encountered an issue with Space Pirates and Zombies during our review process, but the problem was not with the game. We have learned that we need to change a few things in our review process.
The journey to 60FPS: Ars talks God of War: Origins on PS3: It's not easy to take a PSP game that runs at 30fps and make it look good running at double that framerate at 1080p. Ready at Dawn describes the ten months it took to create God of War: Origins.
F2P Super Monday Night Combat will bring third-person shooting to DotA formula: The team behind Monday Night Combat wants to slow the game down, provide more support for strategic play, and offer it all as a free to play product. This is a surprising, but very enticing, addition to DotA-like games.
The art of pinball: designing the virtual Ms. Splosion Man table: Zen Studios has proven itself to be the master of digital pinball, and to celebrate the launch of the Ms. Splosion Man table we talk to two of the people behind the marketing and design of licensed content. The rules are simple: keep playtesting, and keep it grounded in reality.

Well, now we know one previous Doctor that's going to make an appearance during Doctor Who's 50th anniversary. Although William Hartnell, the actor who originated the role in 1963, passed away in 1975, David Bradley has been cast ias the Doctor — Bradley being better known as Argus Filch, the surly Hogwarts custodian from the Harry Potter movies.
Specifically, Bradley's been cast as William Hartnell, for the docudrama exploring the behind-the-scenes creation of Doctor Who at the BBC in the early '60s, titled An Adventure in Time and Space. and not the 50th Anniversary Special itself... that we know of. At any rate, at the moment if the First Doctor does appear in the actual special, it will probably be via judicious editing of footage of Hartnell's past Who performances.
Still, it would be a shame to let such perfect casting go to waste in a single docudrama...

Dinner Tonight: Sweet and Sour Spare Ribs Recipe
Your source for quick recipe every single week day.
I'm so entrenched into the smoky world of barbecue that I sometimes feel like the only respectable and correct way to cook spare ribs is low and slow on a pit. Trust me—when you've tasted the saucy specimens of Cozy Corner you might agree that I'm on to something. But while those are undeniably tasty, this theory isn't exactly practical for a weeknight meal. Luckily, other cuisines disagree with me and have developed artful ways of cooking ribs quickly that come out just as delicious.
There is no better example than these gloriously messy sweet and sour ribs. This recipe comes by way of the Steamy Kitchen, who adapted it from Fuschia Dunlop's Revolutionary Chinese Cookbook. The ribs are cooked in an aromatic liquid before being stir fried with more aromatics. Then they're covered in mixture of dark soy and sugar, which reduces to a sticky sweet sheen.
Though the recipe claims you could substitute balsamic vinegar for the Chinese black vinegar, they really are too different. The black vinegar provides the recipe with its much needed sour note. Otherwise it'd end up a little too sweet. I'd suggest a hunt through the local Asian market, or you can simply order it here. Also, the ribs need to be cut into two-inch sections. If you don't have a mammoth cleaver that can do the job, just ask the butcher to do for you.
- Yield:4
- Rated:
- 1 slab (about 1 1/2 pounds) pork spare ribs
- 2-inch section ginger, peeled and sliced into 1/2-inch coins
- 6 green onions, chopped into 2-inch sections
- 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine
- Salt
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce
- 4 tablespoons white sugar
- 1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
Separate the ribs between the bones using a sharp chefs knife or cleaver. Using a cleaver, carefully chop these into 2-inch segments (or ask butcher to do it for you).
Place rib segments into medium-sized sauce pot. Cover with water. Bring to boil over high heat. Skim any scum that comes to surface with spoon. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer. Add Chinese rice wine, pinch of salt, and half of the ginger and green onions. Cook for 15 minutes, skimming occasionally. Reserve 1 cup of cooking liquid, then strain ribs in a colander and discard ginger and green onions.
Pour oil into large wok set over high heat. When oil begins to smoke, add remaining ginger and green onions. Cook for 30 seconds, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until fragrant. Add ribs. Cook for two minutes until they begin to brown.
Add reserved cooking liquid, soy sauce, sugar, black vinegar, and sesame oil. Simmer vigorously until reduced to glaze, about 5 minutes.
Serve ribs with white rice.

A young woman told a sex grooming trial yesterday that a man branded her with a piece of hot metal so that everyone would know that he owned her.
Now aged 19, the teenager told the Old Bailey that when she was 12, Mohammed Karrar, 31, took a metal hairpin from her hair, scraped off the paint, bent it into the shape of the letter M, for Mohammed, then held it over a lighter's flame.
"After heating it for a while, he stuck it on my bum, so that I belonged to him. He was branding me so that if I ever had sex with someone else, people would know I was his."
The girl is one of six children from Oxford, aged from 11
