Planetside 2′s cert and weapon cost changes outlined by SOE
Planetside 2′s cert gain rates and costs for unlocks have been adjusted, and the time investment for weapons has been reduced by 30% on top end weapon unlock, according to SOE. The adjustments will allow players to earn points two times as fast as the current build, but cert prices on abilities and attachments will be doubled in order to even out the changes. Weapon certs will remain as is, it will take players less time to unlock new items with some weapons even being cut by half. When the game launches on November 20, players will notice the various costs schematic, which will come in five different categories. That should make things easier to discern.

I got 28 seconds, 30 ms for 80K on the previous version. What would you estimate my time should be for 360K on the new version? I let it run for approximately 10 minutes with no result. EDIT: I feel rather sheepish, I should let it run a few more seconds rather than being impatient:
Just by my quick math based on the times I'm getting as I increase, you're looking at over an hour to complete 360,000 decimal places.
Apparently not because it to my x6 about 20 minutes to finish. I guess it doesn't scale exactly exponentially like I thought.
I did a couple tests with my 3820 and threw the results into an OpenOffice spreadsheet to make some graphs out of it. Enjoy if anyone cares. It almost looks to me as if it completes in O(n log n) time as far as how many decimals per second get calculated on average for any given decimal length but the increasing number of elements is creating a linear increase in times, so it almost feels like something O(n + n log n) or O((n + n) log n) time if I were to take a guess. I'm not really up for getting more data and doing the math to confirm my hunch. That's also for just my 3820 with 4c/8t, I'm sure it scales differently on different hardware.
Very nice work sire. Metro UI style: Download link: http://www.pcgamingxtreme.ro/forum/download/file.php?id=666
I feel that I should also note that crunching will get my CPU up to 72-74*C but even for 360 decimals my CPU barely broke 62*C fully loaded with this. Just an observation because crunching for the same amount of time makes that much more heat despite both applications loading the CPU to 100%.
Crunching likely uses more areas of the CPU, different instruction sets, better use of the cache, etc. because crunching is designed to be as efficient as possible. While this benchmark seem to be purposely inefficient to make the calculation take a lot longer than it should in order to get results that are more suited to a benchmark(several seconds instead of several ms). Also, for the LOLs:
The benchmark is using a very complex formula to calculate decimals of PI. Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula The formula is: The algorithm is very complex, is slow, but i chose it because it's best suited for parallelization. The whole ideea was to develop a perfect multithreaded benchmark that can make use of all the cores available, not to implement the fastest algorithm to calculate PI. In 2013, meet Multi Core PI sire. Perfect parralelism for any number of decimals. I did NOT artificially make the task really slow, in fact, I didn't made anything that slows down the algorithm. Sure, the Multi Core PI algorithm was not optimized for speed but provide perfect parallelism and that was the whole ideea:
Thanks for the explanation. I wasn't knocking you, you achieved exactly what you set out to do and it makes a great benchmark.
Multi Core LINPACK Ultimate Meet Multi Core LINPACK Ultimate! A multithreaded CPU benchmark that performs numerical linear algebra. It makes use of the BLAS (Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms) libraries for performing basic vector and matrix operations. The benchmark is written in C# / WPF [The User Interface], C++ [The Core Algorithm] and provide excellent parallelism. How it works Default setting for benchmark is a Matrix size of 4000. Just hit <Run benchmark> button to start benching your CPU. Submit to HWBOT First, press <Submit to HWBOT> button. A screenshot of the entire screen and a crypted XML datafile will be created. Attention! CPUZ must be running! Second, follow the link provided on the dialog and submit your datafile to HWBOT. HWBOT http://hwbot.org/benchmark/multi_core_linpack_ultimate/ Supported operating systems Microsoft Windows XP / Server 2003 Microsoft Windows Vista / 7 Microsoft Windows 8 / Server 2012 Website http://www.pcgamingxtreme.ro/multi-core-linpack-ultimate/ Download Link http://www.pcgamingxtreme.ro/forum/download/file.php?id=690
I suspect this benchmark might like Intel processors a little bit more than AMD. Unless I'm reading it wrong.
It does give unconsistent results, I give you that. agent00skid's A6-3500 APU gets better times than your unlocked X4 and it's a triple-core. I thought it might be related to instruction sets but the Phenom II and Llano support the same instructions. Maybe memory bandwidth plays a role too? edit: Maybe your X4 is throttling? Watch the CPU-Z readout while the benchmark is running. BTW OP, can we have a logo? Seeing the dull standard EXE icon on the desktop isn't cool.

From the American Animal Hospital Association
July / August 2010
Pet food labels contain a lot of information, if you know how to read them.
The Association of American Feed Control Officers (AAFCO) has its own set of regulations regarding pet food labels, which many states use. AAFCO labeling guidelines cover aspects such as product naming standards, guaranteed analysis (minimum percentages of protein and fat, and maximum percentages of fiber and moisture), and nutritional adequacy.
Always look for an AAFCO statement on your pet food that says either: "ABC Dog/Cat Food is formulated to meet the nutritional levels established by the AAFCO Dog/Cat Food Nutrient Profiles."
"Animal feeding tests using AAFCO procedures substantiate that ABC Dog/Cat Food provides complete and balanced nutrition."
In this way, you'll know that the product is guaranteed to be a complete and balanced food for your pet.
AAFCO has three percentage rules regarding naming standards, listed in the chart below. The second chart shows a list of what pet food labels may say, and what they really mean.
Foods that are labeled with simple terms such as "Beef for Dogs," or "Chicken Cat Food," must contain at least 95% of the named ingredient (not including water content).
If the label lists two ingredients (like chicken and liver), the combination of the two ingredients must make up 95% of the total weight of the food, with the first listed ingredient being more prevalent.
The rule only applies to animal products; therefore, if the label says "Lamb and Rice Dog Food," the food must still contain 95% lamb.
Also known as the "dinner rule," foods with the designation "dinner" or other, similar qualifier must contain at least 25% (not counting water content) and less than 95% of the named ingredient. Synonyms for dinner include:
platter, entrée, nuggets and formula.
Secondary ingredients listed in the name of the food (e.g., "Salmon and Lobster Dinner") must account for at least 3% of the food's weight. This applies to non-animal products as well.
This is also known as the "with" rule. Originally this rule was created so that companies could highlight an extra element in the food outside the product name (such as "Beef Dinner — with cheese!").
But now, under AAFCO rules, products can have "with" in the main product name of the food, indicating that it contains only 3% of the "with" ingredient.
Read labels carefully: "Beef Dog Food" contains 95% beef, but "Dog Food With Beef" only has 3% beef.
Chicken (or any other) "flavored" pet foods don't need to contain any of the ingredients that they are supposed to taste like. They merely need to have a specific flavor that is detectable by the animal for which it is meant.
These foods may contain animal digests, by-products or meat meal (non-muscle tissue) in order to get the desired flavor.
For more information, see the FDA's Center for Veterinary Medicine pet food label page.

Breakfast was very limited. Coffee out by 8:45. Coffee pot in the room, but no coffee or sugar available to make your own in the room. Thin walls. Very clean, though. Good parking area.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"A bit noisy"
The hotel was very nice...the desk staff great...the breakfast decent! I was concerned about the noise, children running through the halls up and down but to be honest for the price, it was not bad. I think if children and families were in certain areas it might not affect other customers but that is just me. It seemed to be close to everything and […] the room was clean and pretty large. I only wish there had been a fridge as I was there for several days and it is nice to keep your food fresh. Otherwise, no real complaints!

"Poor service and condition of hotel"
Elevator did not work, first room smelled of smoke, reserved two rooms with king bed-only one available at check in, had to leave deposit to get second room key, fixtures in shower falling off of wall, toilet ran. Not someplace I would stay again. Rate was goodExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

Room was great for the price nothing to major To complain about but the bathroom could of been a little cleaner.Make sure you ask for a spare key because the light is operated with the smart key so If you wanna keep the ac on ask for a spare key (: overall we will definitely consider staying here again!! P.s beds are comfy.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Worst hotel"
There was no coffe, tea or even cups or glasses in my room. The hallways were filthy, looked like they haven't been vacuumed or cleaned since the hotel opened. All soda machines were empty. Motel 6 would have been a better choice.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Ok but not great"
The pool and hot tub did not work and was very dirty so has not worked for a while. Rooms were ok but the noise in the halls was way to much.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Already Super, and Even Improved!"
Our stay was very enjoyable and noticed a couple of improvements made since our last stay. The breakfast area was MUCH tidier and had individual milk cartons verses the huge containers that were previously very messy. We also had hot water for showers no matter the time of day. Not certain if that was due to our room being on the first floor this time. […] At any rate, a very important factor for any hotel stay is having ample hot water. Our previous stay was on the second floor, and we ran out of hot water constantly, if we had it all. We will be staying here again, as long as the water issue is taken care of. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

Nice hotel with friendly staff. Hotel is close to everything! Comfortable room only complaint would be that you can hear clearly the person staying in the other room or above you. Becomes annoying when trying to sleep.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Great Choice; Great Price"
Our room was very comfortable in every way, and the location is awesome and very conveniently located to all your needs. The improvements I would recommend have more to do with personal preference. Firstly, the shampoo provided in the room smelled liked cheap air freshener, and the condition of the towels was unappealing. The towels either need to be […] replaced or need a better cleaning. They were drab and looked somewhat yellowish. Lastly, I would like to see someone keeping up the breakfast area during peak times. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
"if you like cold showers"
They don't have capacity to have a massive use on the hot water, they said that because a lot of rooms were using the hot water you need to wait until everyone stop using, this is from 7:00 am to 12:00 pm, RIDICULUS!Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Good but noisy"
good hotel but can hear everything they do or say the residents of room, we could not rest or sleep properly because neighboring snoring like bear, for the second night we ask room change and good things were not flexible in the hotel was that the croaker neighbor was a night before... If you have light sleep do not recommend.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
We would have liked the breakfast time went until 10 AM. The exercise facility was inferior. Some of the equipment was not functional. The hot tub did not get hot. Although we did not like the items listed above, we found the staff exceptional! The rooms were very clean. We would stay at this hotel again.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Pleasing Overall"
Everything was pleasing except for the continetal breakfast. Not too impressed. However for the price of the hotel stay, I can't complain too much! In a nut shell it was pleasing and economical as long as you don't expect a good continental breakfast.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

Upon check in at 7pm there was still a cleaning cart in the hallway.Carpet was very dirty.The latch in our room was missing,door had not been repaired.Went to front desk to get an extra bath towel,they did not have any.The evening staff was very helpful but the morning staff gave the impression that he'd rather be somewhere else.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Better than expected"
I am enjoying my stay here. Employees are courteous. Good service. It would be better if the pool is kept clean, and this hotel should get a better rating.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Clean and Cheap!"
The rooms were clean and so were the sheets. the bed was very comfortable. I would definitely stay there again! The only part I had trouble with is the wifi worked only part of the time and we were right next to the stairs and there were kids playing on it one night.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Had a great mothers day weekend"
Loved it, but wasnt to happy with having to leave the room and taking the key with you and all the electrical items not working. Didnt know they key had to stay in the key slot.

The hotel stay was very nice. But we did not like the wooden floors only because dirt was on our shoes stayed on the floor and the floor needed to be sweeped after we stepped around. The breakfast was alittle disappointing.Expedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

"Hotel Review"
We rented two rooms they were not ready when we arrived, was told the other room would be ready in about 30 min. (It actually took over 2 hrs.) The elevator was not working, this would not have been much of a problem for me or the kids, but we were in the second floor and my father uses a cane\walker to get around so it was difficult for him to use […] the stairs. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Great for the Price"
Room was basic, but nice. Flat screen was hung on wall. Shower was decent. I would sugesst getting two room keys. You have to leave one in the key holder on the wall to keep the air or heat going when you leave the room. Also have $3 cash for a deposit on each key.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Clean rooms with wood floors"
The hotel is very clean and the rooms were a good size and also very clean. The staff was very friendly. The rooms have wood floors which is great for people who suffer from allergies. I did need a handicap room and none were available the hotel only has very few rooms for the handicap. Since I wasn't able to get an accessible room I asked for a chair […] for the shower and none were available I had to go to Wal-Mart and purchase my own. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

My son had an accident the first night in the hotel. We called and asked the front desk to have the sheets changed in his bed. My husband had also ran into a maid in the hall and asked her as well. When we arrived later that evening the soiled sheets and our towels were gone but the bed was not made and we had no towels. We called the desk and were […] brought bedding....kinda sucks to be on a trip, tired and having to make the bed in a hotel.

"Great Budget Hotel"
This hotel is almost new. The staff is friendly and the rooms are comfortable. It gets an almost perfect rating for cleanliness just because we found a piece of gum stuck to the top of the AC unit. However, other than that, the room was perfect. I really like the fact that they use hardwood floors instead of carpeting. They also have complimentary breakfast […] which is a nice touch.

"The Good, Bad and Ugly"
Mixed review - the staff while very courteous to us - we were at the desk a lot.... didn't communicate at all and everything took mulitple trips/asks and staff is totally spanish speaking (we're not) so that was an issue. Internet was down more than half the trip and was a HUGE inconvienence, toaster broken - taken away and put back - still broken - […] some days we'd get soap - then not - Kleenex refill - asked for one ( I had a cold) - not - garbage full in breakfast area - supplies very sparse - If you want - cheap and clean (sorta) there was blood on bedspread of the first room we were in - we moved (actually comfortable beds and rooms) it was fine - if you need internet like I do while traveling - forget about it! Plus - brush up on your spanish. That part was of little bother - it was just that the staff never followed through on anything - oh and I had to pay a key deposit - (don't all guest or was it just me?) They said they had no record of it when I checked out - but then gave in and gave me $6 for two keys - really? もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Travelodge in Pharr Texas"
First impression was good. Outside well kept and near shopping locations. Check in was easy, but the attendant was NOT FRIENDLY and NEVER SMILED ONCE. It was like we were an inconvenience. Had to wait until she got off her cell phone when I returned to the desk before I could ask for a second key. Still, NO SMILE and NOT FRIENDLY. The room was nice […] and beds comfortable. Pool was nice, although there was grass in the pool. Over all, for a short stay, it was nice and I would stay again. もっと読むHotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Not Impressed"
This hotel is new and it seems like they have not gotten the bugs worked out yet. The dead bolt on our doors did not work and when we asked the front desk person for help, they were not able to help us, nor could they get ahold of the manager. I asked for a blanket for our bed and the desk person did not know how to get into the laundry to get one, […] and instead brought me 3 top sheets and proceded to tell me they did not have blankets. It is a cheap place to stay while visiting our parents, but also realized you get what you pay for. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

El hotel tiene excelente ubicación, fue fácil encontrarlo. Está limpia la habitacion y de buen tamaño, pero el aire avondicionado muy ruidoso. los sillones del loby muy sucios, no había nada para el café en la habitación, crema, azucár, cucharas, etc. Las máquinas de refrescos descompuestas y no servía el telėfono.Hotels.com ゲストの適正な口コミ
"Un hotel que busca ahorrar por todos lados"
Hicimos una reservación en expedia y las opciones solo eran con habitaciones de fumar de dos camas o de no fumar con una cama King size. Siempre que eso ocurre, al llegar al hotel cambias el número de camas y listo pero este hotel cobra más por dos camas que por una. En expedia.com el costo era igual pero creo que quisieron aprovecharse. No hubo internet […] durante todo el fin de semana, el desayuno solo es manzanas y plátanos, agua y naranjada artificial y pan tostado. Muy malo. Las barras de jabón son diminutas, en dos baños se acaba y éramos 3 en la habitación así que se acabo ese y el de manos en una bañada. Las toallas están viejas y son muy pequeñas, de hotel de tercera. El agua de la alberca estaba muy sucia, las caminadoras del gimnasio no sirven (ninguna de las 3) y los aparatos están atorados, pesas por todos lados en el piso. Se nota que es un hotel que busca ahorrar por todos lados y no le importa la satisfacción del cliente. Esta bien ubicado y ofrece estacionamiento gratuito y las habitaciones están nuevas pero no me volvería a quedar, se nota que está mal administrado. もっと読むExpedia ゲストの適正な口コミ

Marriage and Beliefs
Marriage has been about self discovery. Namgay and I have some similar and some different beliefs, but because we're married going on 12 years, and because we plan to stay married, happily if we can manage, we've sort of meshed what we believe. Each of us knows what's important to the other. When we take big trips-- like to the US from Bhutan-- we go to Dechencholing, as do most people living in the Thimphu Valley, and get a blessing. Namgay consults a tsip, or astrologer, who tells him things like the most auspicious direction and time to begin the journey. Sometimes we have to back out of the house in the middle of the night so that we start out a long trip facing the right direction. There might be something to all this. Belief is not as important as doing it because he believes it's important.
It makes me a little sad that stories of women going to foreign places and finding love are cliche. It's been done to death. I don't really have an opinion about other books and other people's lives, but for me marrying into another culture made me better. It automatically made me a citizen of the world, and made me take the focus off myself. Sometimes I feel like I glaze over the difficult parts of our intercultural marriage; it takes an enormous amount of work and a superhuman capacity to love and forgive. And not just your spouse. And then you have to love more. And laugh. I think about all these things and wonder if my friend Aldra, whose husband is Scottish, has her own culture clash and citizen of the world dynamic. I wonder if she eats haggis.

Very nice to hear and the way you both respect each other's beliefs and cultures shows your ability to accept each other. Truly an inspiring love story especially when the people from same culture do not get along and end up in divorce. Keep loving, that's what it all matters. Congratulations to you both!

Oh for the love of all that is holy, you are THE. BEST.
I want to say 1,000 wonderful things about this (I tried a bit of haggis once. I can't remember it, but I do know the thought of it makes me want to cry for baby Jesus. And blood sausage? Really? I mean, is that really necessary?) lovely blog entry, but my brain is fried. Fried! Work.Stress.Life.
Marrying "that foreigner" as we call him has been such an eye (read heart) opening experience. And we're from relatively similar cultures! I often wonder how loving Namgay and Bhutan has ripped your world open. Mostly Mark has taught me the fine art of gratitude. My American-ness sometimes feels like a never ending cycle of want and greed. My husband experiences joy and gratitude over things I normally dismiss. It cracks my heart open. I need to shut up because I'm rambling like a crazy person. - November 7, 2011 at 3:48 PM
- Linda York Leaming said...
How lucky for you to live with someone who manifests gratitude in you. Score. I don't know if Namgay is more foreign, but yes, my world is ripped open daily, as is his. But then it (miraculously) comes back together pretty seamlessly. I think that's what happens in marriage. At least in ours.

This is kind of late for this post, but....just finished the book. Knew nothing about it prior--it was recommended by the Kindle when I finished reading Radio Shangri-La. It was a great read; above all, I appreciated your willingness to be honest and share your experiences as well as your thoughts. I look forward to your next publication!
As for the theme here, I'm 20 yrs married to a Scot and yes, he has fed me haggis, and I have to say, it's delish. On the whole, our clashes have been surmountable, mainly because we can almost always make one another laugh. Thanks for the book! - May 26, 2012 at 7:05 PM

Hi Lauren, Thanks so much for the comment. Yes! Humor! Seems like sometimes we have to remind each other daily to laugh. It's definitely the way. xLinda

Chavez delegation...
James Derham, who presently serves as Charge d'Affaires at the U.S. Embassy in the Venezuelan capital, the State Department said Thursday that the delegation to the socialist revolutionary's funeral will include U.S. Rep. Gregory Meeks, New York Democrat, and former U.S. Rep. William Delahunt, Massachusetts Democrat.
Details were not forthcoming about why Mr. Meeks and Mr. Delahunt were chosen to represent the U.S. at the funeral.
However, Mr. Delahunt, who served on the House Foreign Affairs Committee while in Congress from 1997 through 2011, has a history of quietly attempting to forge positive diplomatic relations between the U.S. and Venezuela.
Margret Thatcher's delegation includes Michelle Bachman and two other Republicans. IMO, a very real snub of the former Prime Minister and our biggest alley. Former Presidents G W Bush and W Clinton both declined invitations from the UK government to attend.
Where do we go without great leaders for the defense of our liberties? Who will defend our right to live our lives _as we chose_ without others taking that from us? The answer is, as it should be, no one. We are the defense of our rights and should always remember that. Libertarian blogger

178. 1963: Fanfare for the Common Men
If you remember the Sixties, they say, then you can't have been there.
The Doctor remembers the Sixties. That's why he's taking Nyssa on a trip back to November 1963. Back to where it all began. Back to the birth of the biggest band in the history of British music. Back to see those cheeky lads from Liverpool...
Mark, James and Korky. The Common Men. The boys who made the Sixties swing with songs like Oh, Won't You Please Love Me?, Just Count To Three and Who Is That Man.
The Doctor remembers the Sixties. And there's something very wrong with the Sixties, if the Beatles no longer exist…
Written By: Eddie Robson
Directed By: Barnaby Edwards

The New Jersey pop-punk band quickly rose to fame in the early '00s after supporting the likes of Green Day, Alkaline Trio, Avenged Sevenfold and The Used on tour. Their brand of 'violent, dangerous pop', with an image to match and plenty of media hype, won them a fanatical fan following on both sides of the pond. MCR released four studio albums over the course of their career, debuting in 2002 with 'I Brought You My Bullets, You Brought Me Your Love'. Their second album, 'Three Cheers For Sweet Revenge', followed in 2004, and 'The Black Parade' was released in 2006. Their fourth, and final studio album 'Danger Days: The True Lives Of The Fabulous Killjoys', was released in 2010. The band decided to split in March 2013, posting a statement on their official website.

I have seen My Chemical Romance four times in places all around Britain now. Excluding their mind-blowing performance the last time they were in Manchester, this gig was one of the best I have ever been to. The mention of the old, practically vintage 'MCRmy' label I used to adorn… (cont'd) Bethany from Farnsfield

Océ ColorWave Poster Printer
Océ ColorWave Poster Printer
The Ultimate Poster Printer!
The Océ ColorWave® Poster Printer is the fastest in its class and is ideal for printing quick turnaround point-of-purchase materials and short-term posters. Based on award-winning Océ CrystalPoint® technology, the Océ ColorWave Poster Printer will help you to capture new business and increase your profits by giving you a highly productive yet cost effective printing system for your short-run, short-term display graphics signage and poster work.
Highly Productive
The Océ ColorWave Poster Printer is the ultimate poster printer delivering print after print all day long. The system is between two and five times as productive as traditional inkjet printers meaning you can produce more output faster than ever.
With 6 online media rolls each up to 650' in length, the Océ ColorWave printing system has the capacity to produce over 1,900 posters without changing paper. The system also supports print widths up to 42" for even more output flexibility.
And each poster that is printed comes out cut to size, stacked and completely dry for instantly usable and saleable output. The standard top deliver tray holds up to 100 prints cut to size. The optional output tray holds up to 150 prints cut to size. Whichever option you choose, the post print finishing is minimal.
The printing speeds of the Océ ColorWave Poster Printer are impressive as well. You can easily deliver 65 or more saleable posters per hour and depending on your application.
Cost Effective Printing
The Océ ColorWave Poster Printer will also save you labor and media costs when shifting your posters and short-term signage work to the system.
Features & Highlights
NEW Océ ColorWave® Poster Printer for high-production poster printing
High speed, cost-effective printing for 2' x 3' and 3' x 4' short-term posters
Roll-to-sheet with no post-print finishing up to 6 online media rolls
Complete media flexibility from inexpensive 20 lb. bond through high-quality polypropylene
Significant Labor Savings
Traditional inkjet printing systems require more interaction per print due to limited media capacity and post-print finishing requirements. With the Océ ColorWave Poster Printer operators can be freed up to perform other tasks as the machine will run unattended at full production speed with no post-print finishing. The Océ ColorWave Poster Printer prints and cuts each print converting your printed posters automatically into finished product and stacks them in the output tray. This means less interaction per print and more prints per hour.
Flexible Media Options
The Océ ColorWave Poster Printer will also save on media costs. Unlike traditional inkjet devices, the printer can print full coverage posters on inexpensive 20 lb bond keeping your printing costs low.
But it is also very flexible. With the ability to print on plain or recycled bond, film, Tyvek®, polypropylene and more, the Océ ColorWave Poster Printer allows you to print many and varied applications.
Limited Consumable Costs
When purchasing toner for the Océ ColorWave Poster Printer you can purchase in bulk quantities as there is no expiration date. This means you can achieve the lowest possible cost per print. And when an Océ Service contract is purchased, all other parts and labor can be included to ensure your system is fully optimized and running in peak condition.
Breakthrough Technology
Océ CrystalPoint technology
has been developed entirely by Océ to delivery high quality color prints on plain and recycled paper and specialty media. Using patented Océ TonerPearls® toner, it is ideal for many display graphics applications like point-of-purchase displays and indoor signage.

The World Database on Protected Areas (WDPA) is the most comprehensive global spatial dataset on terrestrial and marine protected areas. Protected areas are internationally recognised as major tools in conserving species and ecosystems, and up to date information on protected areas is essential to fully enable conservation and development activities.
Resource Type: Spatial Data / MapsDatasets Available from UNEP-WCMC: Excluding WDPA
Access to UNEP-WCMC datasets is provided on the understanding that you read and consent to be bound by the Terms and Conditions attached. For the purposes of this Agreement the "Data" comprise any of the spatial data and associated attribute data downloadable from the UNEP-WCMC website, excluding the World Database on Protected Areas.
Based on the Wilderness Index developed by the Australian Heritage Commission (R. Lesslie, in litt., 30 May 1998). The wilderness value of any given point is essentially a measure of remoteness from human influence and is assessed on the basis of: remoteness from settlement (settled land or points of permanent occupation), from access (constructed vehicle access routes), and apparent naturalness (remoteness from permanent manmade structures) (Lesslie and Maslen, 1995). The analysis is carried out on a grid, using data from the Digital Chart of the World (DCW), and remoteness is measured as a distance from each grid point to the nearest feature of each class within a given radius (generally 30 km). Wilderness value is the sum of standardised values for each indicator class.
Resource Type: Spatial Data / MapsThis tool provides interactive maps that allow users to explore the distribution of carbon density relative to areas high in biodiversity and areas which are nationally protected for different countries around the world. Users can view layers, show or hide layer content, as well as see how the distribution of carbon and biodiversity relates to other geographical features such as rivers, coastlines, and international boundaries.
Resource Type: Spatial Data / MapsUsing global scale maps and statistics, we estimate that the conversion of all vulnerable tropical forests to the most valuable other land use at each location could lead to emissions of 670 Gt carbon dioxide (CO2). We then evaluate the role of the global protected area network in preventing emissions from tropical deforestation.
Resource Type: ReportsIndigenous and Community Conserved Areas (ICCAs) are managed areas that are voluntarily conserved by local or indigenous communities for conservation and cultural purposes. This handbook is intended as a guide for those who wish to learn about ICCAs and the newly developed ICCA Registry tool, which aims to develop awareness, recognition and documented values of ICCAs through a community-supported database, maps and an interactive, multimedia website. Communities who govern and manage ICCAs will find this handbook particularly helpful to understand how they can contribute to and benefit from the Registry if they wish. This handbook adheres to the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and supports the application of bio-cultural community protocols in maintaining the integrity of community knowledge and resources.
Resource Type: ReportsThe Global Study into management effectiveness evaluation was conducted between late 2005 and 2007. In cooperation with many people across the world, we aimed to strengthen the management of protected areas by compiling the existing work on management effectiveness evaluation, reviewing methodologies, finding patterns and common themes in evaluation results, and investigating the most important factors leading to effective management. The project was supported by WWF International, the Nature Conservancy and the University of Queensland, and worked under the auspices of IUCN World Commission on Protected Areas.
Resource Type: Tools / ApplicationsThis innovative tool provides users with initial estimates of embedded carbon within an identified spatial area such as a protected area or any user-defined polygon drawn on a global map.
Resource Type: Tools / ApplicationsThe IUCN Summit on Protected Area Management Categories was held in Almeria, Spain in May 2007. It aimed to test the opinions of key thinkers and policy makers regarding the revision of guidelines to interpretation of the six IUCN protected area categories. The meeting was generously supported by the Junta de Andalusia, the Spanish Ministry of Environment and the foundation Biodiversidad. The meeting operated through plenary sessions and a series of specialised workshops, with many presentations and time for detailed discussion. There were two field trips, midway through the meeting and at the end. More than a hundred people attended from over fifty countries around of the world.
Resource Type: ReportsThe 2003 UN List of Protected Areas, the thirteenth produced since 1962, records the global community's endeavour to conserve the Earth's natural places. This is the first version to attempt a comprehensive presentation of all the world's known protected areas, listing 102,102 sites covering 18.8 million sq km compared to just over 1,000 protected areas in 1962.

So i guess I'm back on now ^_^ I have yet to pick up a copy of white/black 2 but have a complete pokedex on my White. I have access to every pokemon, and can breed anything you want, w/egg moves if really neccesary. In exchange, I ask for your throwaway legends, such as ones you can obtain in the game, as well as any pokemon that evolves with a stone since I seem to be running short on those. What Im trying to do is get the event legends back through the gts, and once I get White/Black 2 I will transfer them over, as well as the other 600ish pokemon, to complete the pokedex on there. Please feel free to offer whatever you want, unless my inbox gets too filled, Ill probably just accept no matter if it is worth it or not.
Looking for any Spinda!

Updated Jan 10, 2013 - 7:55 am
Sun Devils make Top 25 preseason ranking
Athlonsports.com got a head start and came out with its top 25 rankings for the upcoming college football season.
And sure enough, Arizona State made the list.
The Sun Devils are ranked No. 24, as one of five Pac-12 schools amongst the top in the country.
A two-point loss to UCLA in late October was all that separated Arizona State from a berth in the Pac-12 Championship this season. And with most of the core returning for 2013, Todd Graham's team should make a run at UCLA for the No. 1 spot in the South Division. The Sun Devils will need to find new weapons at receiver for quarterback Taylor Kelly, but sophomore running back DJ Foster is ready for a breakout campaign. The defense received good news when tackle (and likely All-American) Will Sutton returned to Tempe for his senior year. Arizona State catches a huge break in scheduling, as it misses Oregon in crossover play and hosts USC, Washington, Oregon State and Arizona - all crucial swing games for Pac-12 positioning.
Being a field goal away from a Pac-12 Championship appearance will linger in the minds of the returning Sun Devils, and a top ranking -- even if it is this early -- appears better than the perspective of the Sun Devils prior to the 2012 campaign.
After an over-achieving first season for ASU, coach Todd Graham is pleased to have Sutton, along with his core players, returning for 2013.
However, if early rankings are any indication, Graham and his Sun Devils will enter 2013 with high expectations.

Rabbi Avrohom Gordimer - Parshat Ki Teitzei
Medrash Tanchuma (quoted in Rashi on 25:17) notes the proximity of M'chiyas Amalek and Middos V'mishkalos, explaining that one who deceives others by using flawed scales and measurement instruments is destined for divine punishment at the hands of the enemy. What is the deeper relationship between sinning in the realm of Middos V'mishkalos and retribution (at the hands of Amalek), to which the Medrash alludes?
Deceiving customers by utilizing flawed measurement tools is unlike other forms of cheating and stealing. In cases of "regular" monetary dishonesty, the businessman or thief obtains unlawful gain either entirely without the knowledge of the victim (such as Genevah - stealing in secrecy) or with his knowledge (Gezelah - robbery, Kovesh S'char Sachir - not paying a worker when required, Kofer B'pikadon - denial of a bailment, etc.). Violation of the laws of Middos V'mishkalos, however, involves crookedness at its worst, for the businessman uses a scale or measuring device to show his purchaser in "good faith" that the goods are verified as to the amount agreed upon, while at the same time the system is rigged to falsify the amount for the seller's benefit. The seller's hypocrisy is unparalleled. He wishes to appear as honest and does not dare rob the customer outright, yet he takes advantage of the trust he attains to stab the purchaser in his (financial) back.
This is precisely where Amalek fits into the picture. Amalek symbolizes and actualizes brazen denial of Hashem. Whereas Amalek is scared of man, it has no fear of God and openly defies His word. (While Bnei Yisroel were traveling, Amalek came from behind and attacked the weak Jews who trailed in the back [25:18 with Rashi from Tanchuma]). Amalek would not take on Bnei Yisroel unless it knew that there was vulnerability, yet it did not hesitate to blaspheme openly (see Rashi ibid).
The relationship between Middos V'mishkalos and Amalek emphasizes in a unique way that we must be ever aware of the "Eye Above" which is watching us, so as not to disregard God's surveillance of our actions and concern ourselves only with what other people may think and know. The relationship of these mitzvos serves as an affirmation that any dishonesty and denial vis a vis others ultimately reflects a lack of belief in God Himself, for one who cheats thinks that he can get away with his misdeeds so long as his victim is unaware and there are no witnesses to the act; this itself denies God's omniscience and indicates a core lack of emunah.


text: And what is it we want? WE WANT YOU TO STOP FUCKING POSTING GIRL MACROS. You know the ones: A picture that contains nothing but words. No man would ever post this garbage. If he does, he's not a man. That's why they are to be hereby referred to from this day forth as girl macros. If you want people to read what's on your mind and know what you're feeling, write it out yourself. Are the people of the world becoming so lazy that they can't even write out what they're feeling anymore? They have to post a picture of some shitty quote, or a cunty jab at men, or something that proves they are so different from all the rest or maybe even a little bit fucked in the head so they're a lot of fun and cool (fucked in the head doesn't translate to fun and cool, no man knows why women think that we want that), or it's full of remorseful sad feels? Know that every man that sees that shit rolls their eyes as hard as they fucking can. Arnold Schwarzenegger put it best: "STOP IT!"
