Starting with a fiberglass 22-foot watercraft designed by Royal Lowell, the vessel quickly became a popular choice. Sisu Boat Incorporated catered to the offshore fishing and lobster fisherman with vessels from 22 to 30 feet in length. Despite early success, Sisu Boat Incorporated went out of business in 1988.

Appreciate Russias support especially at crucial times : Minister Bogollagama |
Monday, 19 October 2009 | |
Russia's support at extremely crucial times was very important for Sri Lanka to face and overcome the challenges in meeting the threat of terrorism, and now Sri Lanka is in a position to turn the challenges into opportunities emphasised Foreign Minister Rohitha Bogollagama during his meeting with the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexey Borodavkin on 16th October 2009. Minister Bogollagama was meeting the Russian Deputy Minister who was in Colombo to attend the 8th Ministerial Meeting of the Asian Cooperation Dialogue (ACD). During the meeting Minister Bogollagama thanked Russia for supporting and assisting Sri Lanka as the Chair of the ACD. The Minister said that he was looking forward to continued cooperation, support and guidance to make Sri Lanka's tenure as Chairman of the Grouping a success with a vision to take Asia to greater heights. He welcomed Russia's involvement in Asia and noted that in the last decade various other global factors superseded focus on Asia. The Russian Minister stated that three fourth of Russia is situated in Asia and it wished to be identified with the Asian region. Therefore, Russia is paying more attention to the region and is also a fully fledged Asian country. The two Ministers recalled the traditionally warm and close bonds of friendship shared by the two countries and agreed that existing relations should be expanded to new vistas of cooperation, and structured relations. Minister Bogollagam invited Russian investors to visit Sri Lanka and initiate projects, as many new opportunities have arisen due to the defeat of terrorism. Areas identified by the Minister included service sectors, fisheries, tourism, tea and infrastructure development. Minister Borodavkin agreed with the Sri Lankan Minster and referred to a visit to Sri Lanka shortly by a Russian business delegation to identify and explore feasible areas for investment. He also mentioned that a Russian company has become involved in the KKS cement factory rehabilitation project. The visiting Minister pledged Russia's continued support for Sri Lanka to create conditions for political and economic sustainability. Minister Bogollagama said that Sri Lanka was looking forward to the visit of the Russian Foreign Minister to Colombo at the end of this month. The two Ministers agreed that this visit will further strengthen the bonds of friendship between the two countries and will act as precursor to visits at the highest level. During the interaction the two Ministers discussed Sri Lanka becoming a dialogue partner in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation and on the ways and means of increasing engagement with that organisation.

The second episode of Rooster Teeth's Supreme Surrender -- based on Supreme Commander, see what they did there? -- is now online. We think it's safe to say that this mini-series isn't as inspired as, say, Red vs Blue, but it's still worth a chuckle. This episode continues the saga of the first episode, as the incredibly large alien force continues to "surrender" to the much smaller force (much to their delighted surprise). The only problem is that surrendering appears to be worse than all out war. Enjoy.

I remember a while back during college, thanks to our precious God and Savior Vaughn (Hail him), I received some maxi v2, and Hemavol. I was basically trying to alter my physique is the weirdest of ways. Like I said...my methods are very unorthodox and bro science patented...lol...anyways...I underestimated the power of Hemavol in a totally different way than expected.
I considered Hemavol as one of the best FAT burning supplements I have ever used. Now my diet was not conclusive to any macro tallying...I basically just portioned my meals. Carbs were high, protein was high, and fat was kept to a minimum with much emphasis on good bacteria from dairy products. Sounds like an insulin spiking/bloating nightmare...but it was not. I found that running Hemavol helped my digestive tract. I could literally feel the food being absorbed more readily. It was weird, again bro science methodology, but the mirror did not lie.
I basically took 5 tabs pre workout with maxi v2 and five tabs, along with some coffee/green tea extract and 5mg Primaforce Yohimbine Hcl, post workout before cardio and core. I felt an extreme rise in body temperature...Especially my core since I wore a waist belt...I alternated between different types of exercises from intervals, isometric contractions, ballistic stretches, pulse reps, and extreme stretches to problem areas. Not only was my food processing better, my abdominal, lower back, glute/ham tie in area was becoming denser and stripping fat extremely fast. I have done the same protocol, with the same exact diet, months after...and at a very similar body-weight. I did this WITHOUT the Hemavol, and maxi v-2. I saw a drastic difference. I truly believe that Hemavol was a huge part of that transformation. Random. I just thought about it. Had to post it. Anyone notice the same effects? In fact I created a cardio work-out solely devoted to my theories of using those 5 ingredients.

Secrets of the Light
Secrets of the Light is a traditional RPG inspired by a few old school classics such as Final Fantasy 1 and Dragon Warrior. It's also my first completed project, and has many flaws, but I've been told that it's not too shabby for a first game. If you're interested, read below for some more info.
Shade, an evil being who almost destroyed an entire world, was sealed away by a mysterious party. But now he has returned to the world that defied him to wreak havoc once again. No one knows his true identity, or his true motives, but most people have figured out that he's back, and the world is in danger once again because of his presence. So, who will stop him? As foretold by a prophecy, four heroes will emerge from the light when the evil one returns to defeat him and save the world. The prophecy comes true and four brave souls that come from seemingly no where are willing to fight Shade. Many rejoice at their courage, but some, who have surrendered their souls to Shade out of fear, will try to stop the heroes at all costs. To make matters worse, The island where Shade's fortress lies is surrounded by tall peaks and is unaccessible by foot or by boat. The heroes must rely on the help of some of the average people of the planet in order to reach their way to victory.
This game plays like many other RPGs. When you start the game, you'll be prompted to select a team of four out of eight classes. The classes are: Knight, Priestess, Magician, Elementalist, Ninja, Berserker, Beastmaster, and Monk. You'll have to choose wisely, since you can't change your party once you've chosen it. Once you've chosen and named your party, you're ready for adventure. While the gameplay might not be very complicated, battles use the DBS, and nothing may seem really new, I think the gameplay is tried and true and pretty fun. The game is quite challenging at times, also. You can't just barge into a new dungeon without preparing or you're toast. Bosses are no exception, either. So, if you like simple RPG fun, then you'll like this, but if you need complex mechanics, puzzles, and minigames, then you may find some, but not a lot.

For the past month the Country office of PAHO has been strengthening the capacity and skills of the health care providers to be prepared to response to health emergencies that may arise at any time.
Between the 8th -10th Oct 2013 PAHO have gathered various agencies, organizations and authorities who are on the decision making level when the country is faced with a crisis or emergency participate in an Incident Command Training.
Emergency management and Incident Command System (ICS) concepts serve as the basis for the emergency response. But however, unlike traditional descriptions of emergency management and ICS, which organize assets around a defined scene, the emergency response management has adapted the concepts to be more applicable to large-scale medical and public health response where there is no defined scene, or where multiple incident scenes may exist (e.g., infectious disease outbreak). Public health and medical professionals must understand the utility of emergency management and ICS concepts as they relate to public health and medical disciplines.
September 16 & 17
The goal of the workshop is to enhance participants' capacity to design and implement disaster reduction and response activities in the health sector to reduce the consequences of disasters.
Specific objectives are to:
• Introduce participants to concepts, procedures, methodologies, tools and strategies involved in health disaster management;
• Introduce participants to the concept of risk scenarios
• Upgrade and advance technical knowledge about the consequences of hazards to populations' health and health institutions;
• Identify key stakeholders in Belize City and their role in health disaster risk management;
• Test the National Health Sector Disaster Plan of the Central Health Region Office Belize in a desktop simulation exercise.
The workshop will be participatory with interaction between experts with varied backgrounds in public health and disasters and personnel from PAHO It will include lectures, and group work. The practical experience of health personnel in disasters will be key/used/called upon to enrich the trainings
A total of 27 participants including representatives from health disaster committee, various categories of health care workers with disaster preparedness, response and mitigation responsibilities – health promotion, epidemiology, environmental health, health systems management/coordination, primary and secondary care.

Auto-advance: ON

Well what about the small retail investors who want to get into this David -- low of IPO financial by -- what those.
You David E*Trade just named as underwriter.
And I'm curious now because this gives our clients more access the average retail investor.
Is this a sign that this IPO is gonna be different than other IP us.
I would tend to think it's not going to be very different as far as your allocation process even though there are just boards.
Of underwriters that have I guess a retail bank to them.
This is just going to be an avenue to try and get more people into it but obviously the Morgan Stanley's and the people at the top are going to be the ones to decide who gets how many shares.
Let's let's take FaceBook goes public at 35 dollars a share that would millions of new bidders out there stock could double.
In a single day should I put in a bid that's higher than the offering price to -- -- get some of those shares.
Well it first of all you're assuming that it's only got a double at the opening here it could in fact go quite a bit higher.
If you put in -- a price above where it actually comes out it just means that you're in the field.
Of potential people that could get an allocation.
Then it filters down to the individual brokerage firm and a brokers as to whether or not they want to give you shares.
You don't usually at IPO for the recent -- -- of the participation -- about 15%.
It's estimated now with these latest moves it can be twenty to 25%.
Now one if if -- -- -- can get and that way more.
You combine -- -- fatwa is a global up because the global SX media fund global ex social media fund.
That's gonna include the FaceBook IPO what would you tell our viewers to do what's -- today try to get -- that they want NN.
If they can get into the IPO price shares that by all means that the best way to proceed but they -- why do you trader any other brokerage firm -- wouldn't say it but because we're showing one right now I would not say of -- because that's not the only position in the fund.
So you're gonna have a dilutive effect if you actually say I wanna get to fund they may have.
Maybe 5% of their position as FaceBook.
You tell your clients to buy the stock but would you tell your own mom.
To buy this stock I would tell anybody who's listening to this broadcast anybody who calls us that if you can get IPO price shares this is a blindfolded -- Even with my concern.
About Mark Zuckerberg has control controlling shares controlling interest his board vote everything else that he's got too much power.
Over company that has yet to really potential what really has yet to prove itself financially you still say that.
Yes we are in a feeding frenzy mode -- at this particular point people don't care.
Where the shares are coming from this offering they just want to know there are only 337 million shares.
Why so little.
Home man or so far this has talked triple -- first -- likable prediction here bold prediction it could very easily triple I would easily triple thought it could triple I wouldn't say easily but certainly this is gonna be a -- -- And is even understand what FaceBook is is Madonna is a book Elin never tell I just I don't know I mean it was a great question done in the -- -- mother didn't get Warren Buffett we'll stay away from the kind of the -- says more about said he was a good again to a -- well.
The institutions at this particular point are not worried about value.
They're worried about how much stock they can get at the IPO.
There exit point is what the word itself let's look the house and Arizona something an element about David -- IPO financial icon David they can't.

Phew, made it!
After a long and hectic day of travel and coordinating and figuring out where and who was supposed to be where and when they were supposed to be there, we have finally made it to tucson.
Amidst all the flight cancellations, delays, and general headaches associated with those, we were very fortunate at the end result.
In all, 15 of us arrived today -- most not more than an hour or two late. Only one was not able to make it today and they will be here tomorrow.
Flights were rerouted and merged with others -- at one point 7 of us were on one flight (Chicago o'hare to tucson).
Its been a long and hectic day.
It is definitely time for rest, for tomorrow, the first of the meetings of the minds begin.
lol hectic doesnt describe it

Do Gnome developers eat their own dog food?
Ok, for a start the guy in the video didn't do himself any favours by labelling people as haters, but the video is still worth watching after that. Opinions ranted on forums such as this are normally just as inflammatory but if you're seeking to persuade people over something this subjective, it's not best to label people with opposing views in such a derogatory way.
For me, Gnome 3 make the keyboard useful. I can quickly launch programs by keyboard without installing additional (and to my mind inferior) programs such as gnome do. Rather than being a 'tablet os', it feel's like a desktop os, designed with keyboards in mind.
Gnome 2 fans talk about their love for the gnome 2 menu. You can add similar functionality via extensions if you'd like but personally, but I hated it. I hate fiddling though menus trying to find the app I want to launch. In gnome 3 I can launch most apps in a few keystrokes.
They're also introducing classic mode for people who like the traditional desktop and don't want to have to fish through the extensions necessary themselves.
Extensions offer vast amount of customisation. I don't use many but the ones I do use greatly improve my experience for my needs. Extensions such as jump lists, which makes all my most recently accessed documents for a particular docked program available simply by right clicking the programs icon in the dock.
I'm not saying I like all the things gnome 3 does. I don't like how they're in the process of trying to move various menu options, unity style, to the top bar. Its currently only the case in a few apps so far and it seems like a mess. I also understand the irritation that they removed the tree view from nautilus. I haven't used it recently but I've used it a lot in the past. We'll have to see if they replace it with something else at some point. But overall, for me, I do think gnome 3 is a vast improvement over gnome 2.
Hopefully those who still want a more traditional desktop, out of the box, will be satisfied with classic mode. We'll have to see.

LOL. The usual clown squad is at again. Too bad they fail so hard. The very same person pissing them of is the guy who maintained the gnome2 panel during its prime time. Well failed neckbeards!
If any g devs reads this shit slinging; You are doing great. Dont mind the moronix idiots they are clearly sick people who need help.
So what if it's the same person? He who did something good now did something bad. Should we not call him out on it? Just because he did good things in the past?
And no gnome devs you are not doing great. funkstar you are also on phoronix so you might need to get your head checked too!

Clans 101
Posted 12 November 2011 - 04:55 PM
So I'll take this chance to explain how Clans work and how it could translate into gameplay.
First we start with a couple gripes that people have with the Clans:
Clan mechs are more powerful then IS mechs, this is unfair:
True, Clan mechs are more powerful, this is offset by the fact that we are supposed to fight by honorrules. We can't team up to take down one single mech. Each Clan warrior has to select one opponent to fight and none of his starmates can help him in the battle. For this reason it is important that the IS players are in greater numbers, it gives them a better chance at taking down Clan mechs. This is also good for the Clan side, since they can claim multiple defeated/killed enemies.
But don't worry, the IS will have far better shots at defeating Clan mechs once "level 2" tech is being distributed.
I'm afraid that many players will join the Clans if they are available
This would be likely, but we have to hammer in Zellbrigen early on. A lot of unfamiliar players will think twice about joining the Clans once they hear about the restrictions of zell. And even then, there's a ton of Clan players around to potentially weed out the dezgra players. I'm certainly hoping for trials of annihilation in this game. The multitude of threads already circulating will have caught the attention of the devs by now, don't worry, I'm sure they're already working on it.
How does Clan honor work?
Easy, every fight is a duel, you can challenge a enemy warrior for a 1 on 1 fight, among the Clans this is the most honorable type of fight. Against IS warriors it would be possible to challenge multiple opponents since they have weaker mechs. BV balancing would work here, just look at the following setup:
1 Timber Wolf A has a BV of 2854, this a pretty high rating. Most high end IS machines don't bolster this type of rating. So multiple opponents are in order.
A IS force could consist of the following:
- Warhammer WWHM-7S BV: 1477
- Centurion CN9-D BV: 1130
- Commando COM-5S BV: 557
All these mechs would have a combined BV rating of 3164 which is a bit higher then what the Timber Wolf has. But this isn't a problem, it would be honorable if a Clan warrior took out all three of those mechs. In addition to that they will be able to attack the Timber Wolf from multiple directions at the same time whereas the Timber Wolf pilot can only focus on one opponent. The IS holds a advantage here if the players are smart enought to work together.
Clan honor is usually divided into the following levels:
Level 1: You attack one opponent and only keep attacking that opponent even if a third party is firing upon you. This level is usually only used when Clans fight each other, you would lose face as a warrior if one of your starmates has to help you. It is possible to play at this level if you're smart.
Level 2: You challenge a enemy but somebody interferes, it is now allowed for you to fight that 3rd party. But it isn't allowed for you to fight any mechs that weren't part of the challenge.
Level 3: The fight immediatly devolves into a free for all once somebody breaks the rules of Zellbrigen. This could be particularly bad for the IS side.
Level 4: No rules apply. This level normally shouldn't be a option. The only faction to deserve this would be Word of Blake after they started dropping nukes. Though a exception could be made for a trail of Annihilation.
Clan warriors would rather die then give up their honor. So a honorable death is the ideal way for a Clan warrior to go out. Fighting to win no matter what is not the Clan way, you are simply not good enough if you need to cheat.
What are these trials I have been hearing about?
Trials are the Clans way of fighting while cutting back on the damage inflicted. There are numerous trials for various functions. There's a bit more to trials then I'm explaining here, but here's the rundown:
Trial of Possession:
A rather common trial the attacking party approaches the opposing party to fight over something they have. This can range from entire planets down to somebody's toenail clipper. The challenged party may ask the attacking party for something atleast equally in value if they lose (note that this must be done before the battle).
Trial of Grievance:
Not everybody gets along, this trial allows you challenge anybody you don't like. IS players won't be expecting this as much as Clan players do. Quite often trials of Grievance will be fought within the same Clan, so don't think that you can pull stupid stunts that will anger players in your own faction.
Trial of Position
Every Clan warrior needs this trial to earn atleast warrior status. Usually this battle starts with two cadets fighting six opponents. Each cadet has three warriors assigned for him/her to fight. Defeating one opponent will secure the rank of mechwarrior and the right to pilot a mech. Two opponents will grant the rank of Star Commander, position where you can command a star (4 mechs + your own). Three defeated opponents will unlock the rank of Star Captain (command up to 14 mechs + your own).
Normally the trial would end here, but a free-for-all could erupt during the trial, it would be possible to get ranks beyond Star Captain if this happend. Many warriors use this to gain the rank of Star Colonel.
Being in a Clan and simply fighting in battles often isn't enough to get higher rank. You in some cases would need to trial to gain a higher rank. Failing here could get you demoted out of the warrior caste, so don't grow complacent.
Trial of Bloodright
This is a important one, this trial will ensure that your genes are used in the generation of warriors. It essentially a tournament of 32 warriors who duke it out to see who gets to earn a Bloodname. Clan Warriors don't have last names, this trial will open the possibility to gain the last name of one of the original Clan founders. Only 25 active warriors withing each Clan can hold a single bloodname, you can only get a bloodname if one of the 25 dies. Each Clan started out with 40 bloodnamed warriors, so that's usually around 1000 bloodnames per Clan. Only bloodname warriors can gain higher ranks like Galaxy Commander or Khan.
Trial of Refusal
You won't always agree with decisions within your Clan. This is the Clan equivalent of veto, only with violence instead of boring speeches.
Trial of Annihilation
This is a trial to eliminate things that don't really belong among the Clans, this can range from a single warrior to a entire Clan. It's not so much a trial as it is a manhunt.
There are a few other trials, but the ones above are the most relevant for 3050.
So, I will get Clan tech if I pass my Trial of Position, right?
Yes, but don't for a second think that you can abuse the tech the second you get it. We will know when you are only fighting weaker mechs and backstabbing others that are already fighting a different opponent. In the most extreme cases we would like to execute a Trial of Annihilation within the game if the Devs are kind enough to implement it. Having Clan tech is one thing, using it wisely is another.
That is all for now, any questions so far?

Salvage won't be getting you all that far if you can't get replacement parts. Purchasing Clan mechs would be extremely rare on IS market since only few warriors would be willing to part with any and all Clan tech.
The main Clan tech production would remain among the Clans, its use would be monitored by the players who are more familiar with the inner workings of Clan life. This shouldn't be too hard since there's a ton of us around. Trials would be in order if players aren't being all that honorable.

This is a good point to consider. Imagine 4 new/casual players in pick up groups getting dropped against a 4 person team of Clanned out 'mechs. Maybe like others have said, if the clan weapon gets destroyed it is gone for good, no repairs, no chance of salvage. We really do not anything about how the game will work. We can only see that the developers consciously changed the time frame from 3015 to 3049, they knew what they were getting into and I expect they will have it all figured out by the time the Clans roll in.

Think of the clans as the 300 Spartans-- they kicked a lot of **** but were eventually killed by superior numbers.

Also, it seems that in the Blood of Kerensky book series, the Clan warriors are at a bit of disadvantage when fighting up close and personal. this is probably due to inexperience, at least early on in the invasion.

This is more a reason to push for a War of 3039 timeframe or a Succession War timeframe and drop this silly notion of the clans.
But it is a GREAT post by the OP.

In a way yes, it could be implemented by having the players gain nothing if they don't take down their enemies themselves.

A Clan warrior can challenge multiple opponents. Under level 3 it could result in a free-for-all, but the attacked warrior can proclaim that he'll take on the new attacker as well. Now if 8 mechs open fire on 1 mech it could get ugly since the enemy doesn't respect zell. The Clan mechs could still hammer away at each individual IS mech to keep them from performing any type of team effort.
So what's it gonna be? Keep firing at that Warhawk? Or try to take cover from that Mad Dog that is firing LRM's and pulse lasers at you?

You attack target A, target A now becomes your opponent. You're free to attack someone else if you see fit, but every attack made against another enemy deducts from your honour. However, every dishonourable thing done to you (say, attacked by a second enemy without having strayed from your opponent) restores a bit of honour. Have other obvious things alo move your honour up & down.
This way, if the Inner Sphere is fighting dirty, and you respond by fighting dirty, it all balances out in the end. If the Inner Sphere is honourable, and you fight dirty you lost honour. And at the end of the battle how much honour you have left factors into how much reward you get from the mission.
Not a perfect reflection of Zellbriggen, but the details of Zell are dang complicated (For example, if Wolf A is fighting Falcon A, he can choose to also attack Falcon B, which is considered implicit approval for them to engage him 2 on 1. If he wins the honour will be great because he has defeated two enemies, if he loses neither Falcon will lose face. But if Falcon B just wants to be helpful and attacks wolf a without being engaged Falcon B will lose face, and Wolf A could potentially earn even greater honour, as he was not truly prepared to fight 2 on 1, but won anyways. And if Falcon A calls for help from Falcon B, that is a great loss of face for Falcon A whether he wins or loses) and the interpretations of Zell's fine details can vary from clan to clan. (My beloved Ice Hellions, for example, consider a full light star engaging a single assault mech to not be dishonourable, provided that the star commander calls them off once the enemy has been reduced to the effectiveness of a light, at which point the star members will start bidding for the right to finish the mech off.
Also, level 4 Zellbriggen is not that rare, the Clans will forgo Zellbriggen when fighting any members of the Bandit caste, and several Inner Sphere units have earned the distinction of always having zellbriggen ignored (WoB being the prime examples) of course, there's also Inner Sphere units who have earned the right to have Level 1 Zellbriggen applied (Knight of the Sphere leap to mind, I believe).
And just for reference, by Clan Law, Wolf's Dragoons are members of the Bandit Caste.

That being said I will play the Clans if and when available, the reasoning is that I love the Clan story, their history and they stand for( That comming from a Warden )
Posted 13 November 2011 - 02:11 AM
However, If your going to play Clan, and all it entails, its going to be down to the Individual player and clan/group to enforce the whole way of fighting.
Due to how games are played (multiplayer) nowadays, there is going to be no way to force the game to recognise that a clan player can only target 1 player at a time, unless attacked by another.
During MPBT3025, when there were only 4 players a side (and sometimes, only 1 against 4) it was often a case of adopting an almost clan like honour system, where the teams would face off, with 1 more more saying they would hang back UNTIL such times as either their team prevailed, or a space became open due to one of their team falling.
Granted it could still be a free for all when there were 2-3 players on each side in combat, but for the most part players would stick to their target as by the midway point, everyone was damaged enough by that point that adding a token medium laser or 2 to a battle was often not noticed straight off.
Now, that's not going to happen (the play style that is)
Look at CoD, BF, WoT even the old MW4, MW:LL, Space Marine....any game where you have a MP aspect, its just a free for all until 1 side achieves a victory.
Players of the current generation do not understand going 1 on 1, because they have never had to (accept for when they come across someone on their own while sneaking about the battlefield).
As for the whole clan tech vs IS tech, well, we'll just have to wait and see how the game is going to run as to whether we have 3-4 lances vs 3 stars (4 lances is the minimum required to get a draw or victory against 3 clan stars).
Its kinda pointless debating game mechanics until something becomes more concrete in what is going to be coded in.
I'd like to hope that clan players would *play by the rules* because of their inherent advantages they have from their weapons once they are added to the game, but I won't be counting on it.
Same as I expect that if we get the chance in a mechlab, to modify the weapons any how we choose, that pop-tarting will return along with every other nuisance that prevented the use of *honorable* game play during any MW3 onwards game involving Battlemechs.
Posted 13 November 2011 - 02:49 AM
You could even add a system where if the Clanner challenges a 'mech below his weight class the IS guy could even reject it so the whiny power-gaming clan players cannot exploit it to wipe the floor against lower tonnage 'mechs. Make a message pop up on his hud in big flashy letters "Amechwarrior (Thor Prime 70t) has challenged you. You have 10 seconds accept." The IS of course would only see who is challenging who but would not have to give a hoot about it. Clans at this time play by lvl1, let the smart IS player use this to his advantage by trying to run front of a dueling clan 'mech to force him into a 2 on one. Making these rules run by the game and letting everyone know about how much harder it is will also keep out powergamers who want the easy road and any exploits on the Clan side can be adjusted or patched out.
Clan Honor rules can be done in the system, without player moderation, with heavy incentive for playing to the rules and harsh meta-game penalties to breaking those rules.

XBMC 11.0 Available
The XBMC team announces the release of a new and improved XBMC 11.0 (Eden) for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and iOS, as well as XBMCbuntu Final, built on the LXDE desktop.
The latest release of XBMC (code-named Eden) media player and entertainment center is now available for download. According to the website, XBMC 11.0 milestones include improvements to Confluence (the default skin), massive speed increases, movie set scraping, additional protocol handling, better networking support, improved handling of unencrypted Blu-ray content and structures, adjustable display refresh rate in Mac OS X (to match that feature in Windows and Linux), AirPlay support, an upgraded weather service with GeoIP lookup, and more.
Eden marks the first in-sync stable release for the Apple TV2, iPad, and other iOS devices. According to the website, developers have improved the method by which input is handled, including heavily upgrading JSON-RPC support – making remote control support much simpler in Windows and enabling unique methods of device communication with hardware. AMD devices are now also supported for GPU video decoding in Linux to some extent.
In addition to XBMC 11 for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and iOS, the developers also announced XBMCbuntu Final. According to the website, XBMCbuntu is very similar to past versions of XBMC Live. By default, the user boots directly into XBMC, and need never see the underlying OS.
The announcement states that XBMCbuntu is now built upon a full LXDE desktop environment, which has a web browser (Chromium) with a fully updated (and updatable) version of Flash built-in and a GUI package manager ready to install and update all of the typical Ubuntu programs. For more information, see: http://xbmc.org/. You can download XBMC at: http://xbmc.org/download/.

Why earn your Plumbing and Piping Technician certificate?The Fraser Valley and B.C.'s Lower Mainland continue to be fast-growing regions, with commercial and residential construction booming. The demand for well-trained apprentices has never been so high. To meet market demand and industry expectation, UFV is introducing this new program, which is perfect for people looking for a challenging, busy, and well-paying career.
Why earn your Plumbing and Piping Technician certificate at UFV?As with all of UFV's Trades & Technology programs, our Plumbing and Piping program is hands-on. While there are plenty of classroom sessions, you will also be physically working on pipes and plumbing scenarios in our shop. As much as possible, study and lab instruction is patterned after "on-the-job" situations where a limited amount of direct supervision is required. Your training will follow a module system that begins by developing a wide variety of basic skills. You will build on these and develop intermediate and specialized skills required today in the busy plumbing and piping industry.
What exactly will I learn?Sample topics:
The Plumbing & Piping program starts in September and ends in May. Students must show that they understand the theory by successfully completing a written test for each unit. They must then apply their knowledge to demonstrate an acceptable level of practical skills as assigned in that unit. The learning material may include printed handouts, worksheets, DVD's, display boards, lab manuals and written instructions.At regular stages, students will be required to perform various tasks in order to develop their practical skills. As much as possible, student and lab instruction is patterned like "on-the-job" situations where a limited amount of direct supervision is required. The training follows a modular system that begins by developing a wide variety of basic skills, and builds on these to develop immediate and specialized skills required in this industry. All unit tests and assigned practicals must be completed with a passing grade before writing and performing the final assignment scheduled in May.
I'm not yet working in the plumbing industry. Will this program get me there?Absolutely. With UFV's entry-level training, we put you in the driver's seat towards your career goal in the plumbing and building industries. The Plumbing and Piping program will prepare you for entry into this growing and in-demand industry. While in the program, you'll get a systematic introduction to the trade and thorough hands-on opportunities to develop the skills expected by today's employers.
How much will it cost?Expect to pay program fees of about $115.01 per week; this covers tuition plus 10% of the tuition for ancillary fees.
As a Plumbing and Piping Technician student, you should also budget about $500 for your basic hand tools, $850 for required textbooks, and $200 for your working apparel. We require a deposit (currently $200) to be paid when you register, which typically takes place one or two months before the start of each semester. The balance of your fees must be paid by the second week of the semester. In addition, each semester (fall, winter, and summer) you will be required to pay a $30 Student Union Society membership fee, a $35 SUS capital fee, $4.50 Cascade student newspaper fee, a $3 per semester radio station fee and a $40 U-Pass fee.
A Health and Dental fee ($160 for 2008/09) is charged annually each fall semester to students to provide extended medical and dental insurance. You can check with the Student Union Society or at www.studentcare.net/works for details.
It's also worth a visit to the UFV financial aid and awards office, which facilitates the disbursement each year of approximately $12 million in federal and provincial student loans, grants, bursaries, scholarships, and awards to UFV students.
A helpful budget planning worksheet is available online at www.ufv.ca/fineaid/budget
Anything else I need to know?This can be a physically demanding career and that's why a medical certificate from a qualified physician may be required at any time before or during the program. We'll notify you if or when a certificate is required. You must be there continuously through all three semesters to successfully complete all requirements for the program. You are expected to attend classes five days per week for the duration of the entire program. If you fail to meet the attendance requirements as outlined in the program guides, you might be subject to a failing grade or academic warning. It's also expected that you complete all requirements with a minimum of 70 per cent or better to receive a Credit (CR) grade in order to graduate.
Sounds good. What do I need to get in?You'll need your B.C. secondary school graduation or equivalent and must pass a math and reading comprehension entrance exam.
I'm interested. What do I do next?Check out UFV's online calendar at www.ufv.ca/calendar. Read the Plumbing and Piping Technician program description and information carefully. Next, you can download an application form and submit it, along with the $45 application fee, to any UFV Admissions and Records office. You can also transmit it through the internet at www.pas.bc.ca. If you're currently in Grade 12, you can apply now, but we require a statement from your school counsellor or principal indicating that you are likely to meet graduation requirements by June, and this must be presented at the time of your entrance exam appointment.
You will be notified of your entrance exam date by the Trades & Technology Centre and there is no fee for writing this exam. If you have not been contacted within two weeks of submitting your application, please call us at 604-847-5450. Before classes start, you'll be called and given all the registration procedures. If we can't reach you after three attempts, you'll be removed from the waitlist.
When should I apply?Applications are accepted on a continuous basis throughout the year. Qualified applicants are considered for the next intake in which there is space.
Where will my classes be located?UFV's Plumbing and Piping Technician program is delivered at the Trades & Technology Centre at the Canada Education Park in Chilliwack. It is open 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday. Class and shops are in session from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. those days. UFV's Trades & Technology Centre is the university's first facility to open in Chilliwack's Canada Education Park, a 200-acre education and research park situated along the historic Vedder River on what was once Canadian Forces Base Chilliwack.
Can I speak with someone about my options?Yes! We want to hear from you! If you're unsure of your direction, contact Student Services at 1-888-504-7441, ext. 4528 to arrange a tour, attend a "Becoming a Student" info session, connect with an educational advisor, or arrange for career counselling. You can also contact the Trades & Technology centre directly at 604-847-5448, or 1-888-504-7441, ext.5448, or email email@example.com to get more details.
