Anyone here a practioner of martial arts? If so please include reasons why. I looked at the thread titles in this section and i just wondered why someone hadn't done this one earlier. I'll start off:
I first started martial arts with Wing Chun Kung Fu nearly 4 years ago when i was 15, but i rarely go anymore.
Now once in while my dad drags me along to private lessons of tai chi (CMC style) since he's obssessed with it for the past few years. It is definitely good in many ways (and bad in my eyes) but i'm not really that much into it since i'm such an impatient and lazy type of person.
The reason i like martial arts is because there is often such diversity of knowledge in the realm of martial arts. It taught me things i would never have thought of about the human body and 3d dimensional space (could be that i was an unco hahaha)and it's helping me feel more and more secure with myself. I would have started much earlier in life because i was bullied a lot by racist kids but i was really embarrassed when my brother laughed his head off when i asked my mum to sign me up. It's funny how a few seconds affected my life so much, if he had walked past already i would be a very different person.
Enough rambling from me, i want to hear what other people have to say

Town of DeWitt (WSYR-TV) State Park and Town officials will meet Monday to see if they can open part of the trail after a section of the canal was breached and is now spilling into Butternut Creek.As a result of the breach, the bike and walking path along the canal and creek remains closed Sunday.There are temporary dams in place which has stopped most of the water from flowing into the creek."The path needs to be closed due to heavy equipment that will be moving up and down the path" said Rob Hillbrand from the NYS Parks Department. "We just don't want to have pedestrians interacting with the equipment that will be moving on the towpath."The problem was first noticed Friday, when a section of the wall holding back the canal gave way. The NYS Canal Corporation conducted an inspection and at first determined the problem was minor. The breach grew in size to about 12 to 15 feet wide.
The site now requires emergency repair work.

- With Mayo Clinic obstetrician and medical editor-in-chief
Roger W. Harms, M.D.

Roger W. Harms, M.D.
Roger W. Harms, M.D.
"Nothing helps people stay healthy more than the power of real knowledge about health." — Dr. Roger Harms
As medical director of content, Dr. Roger Harms is excited about the potential for Mayo Clinic's health information site to help educate people about their health and provide them the tools and information to live healthier lives.
The Auburn, Neb., native has been with Mayo Clinic since 1981 and is board certified in obstetrics and gynecology. Dr. Harms is a practicing physician and associate professor of obstetrics and gynecology, and his specialty areas include office gynecology, high-risk obstetrics and obstetrical ultrasound.
From 2002 to 2007, Dr. Harms was director for education at Mayo Clinic, Rochester, Minn. Dr. Harms was the 1988 Mayo Medical School Teacher of the Year and served as associate dean for student affairs and academic affairs. He is the co-author of the "Mayo Clinic Model of Education." In 2008, Dr. Harms was presented the Distinguished Educator Award, Mayo Clinic, Rochester.
Dr. Harms is vice chair of the Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology and medical editor of the Pregnancy section on this website. In addition, Dr. Harms is editor-in-chief of the "Mayo Clinic Guide to a Healthy Pregnancy" book, a month-by-month guide to everything a woman needs to know about having a baby.
"My medical education experience has grown out of a love of teaching, and that is what this site is about," Dr. Harms says. "If any visitor to this site makes a more informed and thus more comfortable decision about his or her health because of the information we provide, we are successful."

Early miscarriage: Is stress a factor?
Can too much stress cause early miscarriage?
from Roger W. Harms, M.D.
Stress has long been suspected as a possible cause of early miscarriage, but there's little evidence to support the theory.
Up to 20 percent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage. Typically, early miscarriage is caused by a fetal chromosomal abnormality or another problem in the development of the embryo.
Possible causes of repeated early miscarriage might include:
- Abnormalities of the uterus
- Immune responses that disrupt implantation
- Hormone imbalances
- Blood-clotting problems
If you're concerned about early miscarriage, concentrate on taking good care of yourself and your baby. Seek regular prenatal care, manage any chronic conditions and avoid known risk factors for miscarriage — such as smoking and drinking alcohol.

For a LIMITED TIME ONLY, get this stack for only $44.95.
Performance Enhancing Supplements Ultra Testosterone PCT Stack (Erase + Testabolan V2): Discount Ultra Testosterone PCT Stack Supplements
Get a full month supply of perfectly dosed ingredients working together to give you results you never expected. Let me give a little summary of why PES and iForce decided to run a sale on these particular products.
Testabolon V2 contains a blend of ingredients designed to increase your testosterone and overall anabolism. It will give an increase in FREE testosterone (the important stuff), a decrease in prolactin (hello sex drive), an increase in HGH, and a better quality of sleep.
Along with that, this product also contains a potent phyto-androgen and adaptogen.
This non-suppressive supplement is a staple test booster for someone using it as a natural test boosting stack or in PCT.
This product alone works very well, but why not make it work even better?
Erase will do just that. An increase in FREE test can also cause an increase in estrogen. When looking to get optimal benefits out of your test booster, you do not want your testosterone converting to estrogen. Instead, Erase will keep your estrogen levels in control, leaving MORE TESTOSTERONE in your blood and LESS ESTROGEN.
Erase should be a staple in EVERY PCT since it is a non suppressive, natural, suicide aromatase inhibitor.
So enjoy this stack! Either as a 4-8 week natural test boosting stack, or as/in your PCT!
No matter what route you choose, the dosing should be the same. You can take both products with or without food. You can take the stack for up to 8 weeks straight. 1 bottle of each will last 4 weeks.
MORNING: 2 Capsules Erase, 2 Capsules TV2
PRE-BED: 1 Capsule Erase, 2 Capsules TV2

Any ideas? My first reaction is to wonder what your memory foot print is ... the bandwidth of all quad's I have seen (except the ES-45 with Compaq's typhoon chipset and cross-bar) has been lousy. If you are not running mostly/completely in cache this could be an issue. Competition from all four CPUs for bandwidth could kill performance. Have your tried running on one CPU? Can you shrink the test case to make sure it is cache and then look at the performance?

There are two steps involved in starting your financial aid application:
The 2013-2014 academic year includes:
If you are applying for the 2012-2013 academic year (Summer 2012, Fall 2012, and Spring 2013), you can download the 2012-2013 Student Information Form on theĀForms and PublicationsĀsection of our website.
To be eligible for financial aid:
New applicants should complete their financial aid application concurrently with their admission application.Ā
It's all about FAFSA: the Free Application for Federal Student Aid. In order to be considered for financial aid, you must complete and submit your FAFSA. The information you report on the FAFSA is used to calculate your Expected Family Contribution (EFC), which is a measure of your or your family's financial position. The EFC is used to determine your eligibility for federal student aid.
Priority consideration is given to those students who file by March 1. If you miss this priority deadline, do not worry.Ā You can still submit a FAFSA after March 1 and you will be considered for financial aid.
You'll need the following (yours, your parents, or anyone whose tax returns will need to be considered for you to receive aid):
You can complete your FAFSA by going to www.fafsa.ed.gov.Ā We highly recommend submitting your FAFSA online to expedite processing of your application.
Alternatively, you can download a paper FAFSA from the FAFSA website.Ā The paper FAFSA would be mailed to Federal Student Information Center (click here for address), not to Simmons College.
The FAFSA should be completed as soon as possible, even if you are still waiting to receive an acceptance decision from Simmons College. You are allowed to use estimated income information if you have not yet submitted tax returns for 2012. If you estimate income information on the FAFSA, you will update the FAFSA later in the year with actual figures once the tax return has been filed.
FAFSAs must be signed electronically using a U.S. Department of Education Personal Identification Number (PIN). If you do not already have a PIN, you can apply for one now at www.pin.ed.gov. Be sure to maintain a copy of this PIN for your records. You will need to use it to make changes to your FAFSA, or to file again in future years.Ā
The IRS Data Retrieval Tool (DRT) is available for online FAFSA submission and is accessible through the FAFSA website at www.fafsa.ed.gov. The DRT allows FAFSA applicants and parents the ability to transfer their income information from the IRS to the FAFSA.
All applicants and parents of dependent applicants who indicate they have filed or will file a 2012 tax return will be directed to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool to report and/or update their income information on the FAFSA.
We have provided instructions below, but you may also want to refer to the video posted by the federal government on YouTube:
Instructions on how to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool:
STEP 1 - Choose "Start Here" and log into your FAFSA application and select "Make a Correction."
STEP 2 - Under the "Financial Information" tab, you will be asked a series of questions to determine whether or not youĀare eligible to use this tool.
STEP 3 - If you are eligible to use the IRS Data Retrieval Tool, you will be prompted to enter your PIN and then select "Link to IRS." A box will appear stating taht you are leaving the FAFSA on the Web. Click OK.
STEP 4 - Once you are connected to the IRS.gov site, review your information for accuracy, select the "Transfer My Tax Information into the FAFSA" at the bottom, and select "Transfer Now."
STEP 5 - You will then be redirected back to the FAFSA. E-sign your FAFSA to submit the updated FAFSA information for processing.
You can get information from the Center for free by calling: 1-800-4-FED-AID (1-800-433-3243). You can also write to the Federal Student Aid Information Center at the following address:
Federal Student Aid Information Center
P.O. Box 84
Washington, DC 20044-0084
Note: You must re-apply for federal student aid every year. Also, if you change schools, your aid does not automatically transfer with you.
Some students may be chosen by the U.S. Department of Education (DOE) for verification of the information they submitted on the FAFSA. If you are chosen for verification, you will be asked to submit some or all of the following information by May 1, 2013:
The SimmonsĀStudent Information Form is available for download as a PDF file. Complete the form, sign it and submit it to:
Student Financial Services

Good music, good friends and generous hearts are always hallmarks of the Northwest Missouri State University Clay Club's Empty Bowls soup supper, and Friday's fifth annual gathering at The Station proved no exception.
The dinner, which raises a couple of thousand dollars for the Maryville Ministry Center food pantry, features food donated by local businesses that participants eat out of nearly 400 handcrafted bowls and cups made by Northwest art students and local potters.
It's hard to describe just what makes Empty Bowls different from other charity events regularly held in Maryville. But it is. It may be the easy-on-the ears acoustic music, provided this year by a fine young guitarist named Seth Wade. Or it may be the mix of community leaders, retired folks, teachers, families and college students – a gumbo of young and old from almost every walk of life.
Most likely the relaxed and welcoming vibe comes from sharing an evening of food and warmth and conviviality while fully aware that having enough of all those things is a gift denied to too many people in a county where poverty is endemic, and where nearly half the schoolchildren qualify for free or reduced-price school lunches.
"We've got quite a collection of these mugs," said Mike Phillips, who, along with his wife, Sheila, is an Empty Bowls regular. "I like how this event involves the student body, and I like the home-grown aspect of it. It's just a win-win all the way around for everybody."
A few chairs down the table from the Phillipses, the Rev. Scott Moon, pastor of the Maryville United Methodist Church, was enjoying a large bowl of soup with his wife, Michele.
"Empty Bowls brings in various parts of the community that don't always rub shoulders with each other," Moon said. "I like the creative aspect of the bowls, and I think the meal reminds us of the larger social issue. There's more to it that dollars and cents and taking care of physical needs. I think this makes us aware of spiritual needs as well."
When people from different social and economic backgrounds gather for a shared supper in order to help others, Moon said, "Something very human happens."
He added that ignoring problems like poverty and hunger creates a "spiritual deficit," while joining in a common cause that "humanizes and doesn't dehumanize" results in a "spiritual plus."
Moon said this year's Empty Bowls soup supper was especially significant since deep cuts in federal spending – the so-called sequester – mean that many nutrition assistance programs may be reduced in scope or eliminated.
"It looks as if the sequester will have a disproportionate impact on social needs and especially hunger," he said.
Empty Bowls organizer Laura Kukkee, an art professor who teaches ceramics at Northwest, said the annual supper serves the dual purpose of providing food for people going through hard times and "alerting students to the need, showing them that there are people in this area who are hungry."
Page 2 of 2 - Spending four months transforming raw clay into hundreds of colorfully glazed bowls and cups inevitably gives rise to reflection about one's obligation to help the less fortunate, and teaching students to translate compassion into action, Kukkee said, is one reason why making art is an important part of the college experience.
"This is about creative problem solving and critical thinking about social and political issues – global issues," Kukkee said. "It should be part of the nature of college life that these types of events are happening."

- Honcast Website
- Researching hosting options to provide for 1080p Video on Demand as well as spreading content to new venues (ie. Machinima, Twitch.TV, Vimeo, own3d.tv, etc)
- Site Redesign conceptualization currently underway
- Integration of the Honcast VoD comment section into the Official Heroes of Newerth forums (ie. login to Honcast.com with your HoN login) This really needs to be added in
honestly I didn't mind it either, the point I was trying to get across is that we've got enough 'character' casters in the likes of Diva, Zyori & Breaky, and we need more secondary co casters that bring some insight and actual commentary, not just idiotic and frankly quite embarrassingly low level information about things that literally everyone already knows and saw 2 seconds ago on the stream.
I mean; I don't really need the '101 free tips' but it's how casts become the most enjoyable.
Diva was a dota competitive player, I assume he isn't any less ignorant about the game than most sc2 casters, wether he's able to communicate that knowledge or not is another story, I already forgot about diva's casts specifics, but you only talked about people being ex-pros and what not in the SC2 scene so that's what I'm replying to. Anyway, just a detail you perhaps forgot when labeling diva as a character and not as a potential competitive insight.

We all know Breaky isn't going anywhere, as much as that'd be best. But ditch Zyori, get swindle and then at least its bearable.
Please don't forget to carry the API over to the new site (assuming its a redesign not a reskin)
A stable stream would be a welcome addition rather than better quality. Whenever I have tried to watch a live match, then I always have to switch to something else as the lag and interruptions are terrible. Other streams for big games work fine, but Honcast always has problems.
Making people rage for over 400 games
Just ask around and get alot of competetive players on your team. Have a subforum for these players or whatever to see upcoming casts and who can cast what and so on. I dont think you should have to pay some one to do this, Im sure most competetive players likes to suport the comunity to. Give the guy helping out 500 gold coins or something as token of your appreciation.
Seriously, keep your upcoming broadcast sectuon up to date!
People who just check Honcast and don't want to put research in it, still don't know when the EU Dreamhon continues. Get your **** together!
What I personally think HonCast needs is to cover some MM's if made possible to cast live. Comment on the every-day player of HoN and change the skill levels so you'd cast from all the brackets of levels...
The caster would have to comment on down-to-basics HoN stuff that a lot of people take for granted. That way everyone involved and others familiar with the skill level could learn from their own mistakes and others.
I remember watching a youtube video lately, where it provided insight into the mind of gamers. If you lose you often pretend that it's everyone elses fault than your own. I would find it new and exciting if HonCast - in periods with few tournaments - provided coverage to shed light on this problem.
Meh, am I the only one around who really likes Breaky-Zyori Casting? :-/
For the most part, it depends on your familiarity with the game and competitive play. Both of them have a really shallow understanding of any of the more complex things that make up competitive HoN, and are only really good for calling play-by-plays and telling you what your eyes can already see. It's sorta fine if you just want someone calling the action for you, but the majority of people appreciate actually learning things they didn't know from commentary, which is why combos like Fly+Swindlemelonzz are far far better received by the general public.
Please, just invest in a good connection. Honcast has been a slideshow lately, can't watch that.
We've been streaming on a line with 80MB up lately. Because of this and moving to 1080p, we have been streaming with 5000kpb up. It could be an issue of your internet not being fast enough to watch it on 1080p, in which case you should use the resolution changer. I have not had any lag during the entirety of the DreamHoN event, of which I've watched every cast and 2 of the rebroadcasts.
I doubt it. Every other stream works without lags for me on the highest resolution. Also, whenever it turns into a slideshow, I just look at the chat and see everyone complaining about the lag, so I really doubt it's just me. I admit, it has been better for DreamHoN, because before that it was really unwatchable and now it just turns into a slideshow every ~5-10 minutes for a minute and it's fine for the rest of it, but it can be really annoying to hear breaky/zyori shouting about the "huge tempest ultimate!!" and seeing a picture of ancients being farmed from 5 seconds before that.

text: TinyXML is a simple, small, C++ XML parser that can be easily integrating into other programs. You may want to consider TinyXML-2. I found myself writing a text file parser every time I needed to save human readable data or serialize objects; I created TinyXML to solve the text I/O file once and for all. (Or, as a friend said, end the Just Another Text File Parser problem.) TinyXML has evolved from community feedback and become the work of many contributors. It is a simple, stable, basic XML parser used by many open source and commercial products. Online Documentation: including sample code, general information, and an API reference. Download the latest source release on Sourceforge. The release contains the source code, demo code, and all the documentation. It is written in OS independent C++. Please send me e-mail if you like (or don't like) TinyXml - and I'm always curious who is using it! (Although I can no longer provide technical support over email; please use the forums on SourceForge.) General discussion, bugs, CVS access, and patches can all be accessed from the TinyXml Project Page. Thanks, Lee |

As the data value and volume of business data continue to rise, corporations need high-performance storage solutions which are secure, reliable, and easy to manage. The QNAP TS-1079 Pro, which serves as both IP-SAN (iSCSI) and NAS, can be easily utilized in different business and enterprise applications such as backup center, disaster recovery, file sharing, virtualization, and video editing storage.
Data might seem insecure being open in a network, but the QNAP TS-1079 Pro offers a variety of security options such as encrypted access, IP filtering, policy-based automatic IP blocking, and more. In addition, full control of the NAS is offered down to the user and folder access rights to determine who can access the NAS and what can or cannot be accessed. The TS-1079 Pro is packed with security features to stop all unauthorized data access such as AES-256 volume-based encryption. The AES-256 volume-based encryption prevents sensitive data from unauthorized access and data-breach even if the hard drives or the device is stolen.
The TS-1079 Pro is reliable with built-in safety precautions to safeguard all data from any unforeseen problems. With multiple built-in features to guarantee no interruptions to the work flow of a business, the TS-1079 Pro is an efficient asset. The advanced RAID configurations and hot-swap capabilities are included to give RAID performance, protection and reduced rebuilding time. Moreover, the dual OS embedded on the DOM architecture ensures the system will boot up. If one of the two operating systems fails, the healthy operating system will boot up and operate normally while repairing the failed operating system. The dual Gigabit LAN ports can also be configured for failover which allows the NAS server to sustain the failure of one network port and still provide continuous services.
Setting up local or remote access with the TS-1079 Pro is painless and does not require any IT skills. All setup processes have been simplified so that most of the process is either automatic or can be completed by an installation wizard. The user-friendly web GUI allows administrators to easily manage the NAS so there is no need for an extensive knowledge of complex commands. Simple management tools such as instant SMS/Email alert, the hard drive S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) feature, and system resource monitor are provided to keep administrators up-to-date on their NAS at all times.
The TS-1079 Pro features Intel Core i3 Processor, 2GB DDR3 memory, 10 Gigabit network capability, and 6Gb/s SATA. Even the most demanding requirements in data center or corporate networks can be satisfied by the TS-1079 Pro. With outstanding data transfer rate of over 1,000 MB/s data throughput and 100,000 IOPS 1, intensive business applications and concurrent tasks can be easily fulfilled.
With increasing virtualization of IT resources, the need for high performance storage is more essential than ever. The TS-1079 Pro offers class-leading system architecture matched with 10 GbE networking performance designed to meet the needs of demanding server virtualization, such as VMware, Citrix, and Windows Hyper-V. 10 GbE network speeds greatly increase the agility of data transmission in a virtualized environment intensifying NFS and iSCSI connection performance.
The TS-1079 Pro offers network expansion options which includes dual-port 1 GbE and dual-port 10 GbE network expansion cards, to aggregate and boost network performance. The TS-1079 Pro includes two Gigabit (GbE) LAN ports which can be expanded to four GbE LAN ports or two 10 GbE LAN ports plus two GbE ports.
The TS-1079 Pro features USB 3.0 ports for high speed backup to external hard drives. EXT3, EXT4, NTFS, and HFS+ file systems are supported to ensure compatibility with Windows, Mac® OS X, and Linux operating systems.
The TS-1079 Pro supports SMB/CIFS, NFS, and AFP protocols for file sharing across Windows, Mac, Linux/UNIX networks. User accounts and shared folders can be created via the user-friendly web-based interface without IT expertise. The integrated antivirus solution for the Turbo NAS ensures business continuity by offering detection against the latest viruses, malware, worms, and Trojan horses.
The Windows AD and LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol) directory service features enable the system administrator to retrieve user accounts from Windows AD or Linux LDAP server to the TS-1079 Pro reducingtime and effort in account setup. Users can use the same login name and password to access the TS-1079 Pro.
Conveniently connect to the shared folders of other servers on Microsoft Networking through the "portal folder" on the TS-1079 Pro. This reduces the hassle of logging in to different servers one by one.
The TS-1079 Pro supports mounting ISO images of CD and DVD discs for network sharing folders for data archiving, storage, and sharing. This feature saves space from storing the physical discs, reduces the risk of data loss caused by long term use of the discs, and enhances the performance of data sharing on a business network.
A central repository of log data from various network devices allows efficient management and security auditing in a businesses. QNAP Syslog server allows the IT administrator to effectively collect and store logs of other network devices in the Turbo NAS.
The TS-1079 Pro offers a complete backup solution for businesses with QNAP QBack/NetBak Replicator which supports real-time and scheduled data backup from Windows PCs, Apple Time Machine backup from Mac OS, and third party backup software such as Acronis True Image and Symantec Backup Exec.
The TS-1079 Pro offers users peace of mind, business continuity, and high availability of data by providing the ability to recover their data from disasters.
Real-time Remote Replication (RTRR) provides real-time or scheduled data replication between the TS-1079 Pro and a remote QNAP NAS, an FTP server, or an external drive.
The Turbo NAS has taken iSCSI LUN backup/restore to a whole new level with snapshot technology. The IT administrator can use the LUN snapshot to back up contents in the LUN to various storage destinations, including Windows shared folders via SMB/CIFS, Linux shared folders via NFS, or local shared folders on the Turbo NAS.
Get ready to send private data to the clouds! The TS-1079 Pro supports Amazon S3 and ElephantDrive cloud storage backup which have several backup modes including real-time, scheduled backup and versioning control so that the data can be restored from any point of time. With ElephantDrive cloud storage can be monitored through a web browser. An extra set of all of the data stored will always be available, so remote data recovery is quick and simple.
The TS-1079 Pro is fully VMware and Citrix ready and Windows Hyper-V compliant.
The TS-1079 Pro can serve as a NAS for file sharing and iSCSI storage concurrently.
The TS-1079 Pro supports multiple LUNs (Logical Unit Numbers) and iSCSI targets. LUNs can be flexibly mapped to, unmapped from, and switched among different iSCSI targets.
Designed with CHAP authentication and LUN masking, the advanced ACL (Access Control List) offers the capability to block unauthorized access from the initiators.
Compared with a high cost Fibre Channel SAN, the TS-1079 Pro is an affordable system that can be deployed as a storage center for virtualized and clustered server environments, such as VMware and Microsoft Windows Failover Cluster.
The built-in iSCSI service supports enterprise-level features such as SPC-3 persistent reservation for clustering in VMware and Windows Server 2008. The administrator can set up Microsoft Failover Cluster environment, use Cluster Shared Volume for Hyper-V, and execute virtual machine live migration between Hyper-V hosts.
With the support of MPIO (Multipath Input Output) and MC/S (Multiple Connections per Session) on the Turbo NAS, users can connect to the iSCSI targets on the TS-1079 Pro using two or more network interfaces from their server with failover and load balancing. Furthermore, with MC/S settings better data transmission performance is achieved.
Digital film and video production produces volumes of data that require high performance RAID storage with sustainable throughput to balance with the demanding output of video editing. The TS-1079 Pro fulfills storage and video editing needs with a high speed 10 GbE network interface. Digital videos can be quickly stored and edited on the TS-1079 Pro directly over the network.
The built-in iSCSI feature provides an affordable IP-SAN (Storage Area Network) alternative for business. Compared with Fibre Channel SAN, the total investment is significantly lowered.
The disk volume with FIPS 140-2 certified AES 256-bit encryption can only be accessed by an authorized encryption password or key. This prevents the sensitive government or businesses data on the Turbo NAS from unauthorized access and breach even if the hard disk drives or the entire system were stolen.
*The data encryption functions may not be available in accordance to the legislative restrictions of some countries. Please contact QNAP sales representatives for further information.

Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission 1111 Israel Road S.W., P.O. Box 42650, Olympia, WA 98504-2650, (360) 902-8500 Don Hoch, Director
State Parks partners with Corrections, DNR for Riverside forest health project
OLYMPIA – May 8, 2012 – The Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission is partnering with the Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Washington State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to complete a forest health project at the Plese Flats area of Riverside State Park in Spokane. Last year, the University of Washington and agency staff identified Plese Flats as a high-priority area for forest health treatments because of elevated wildfire fuel loads and the risk of a mountain pine beetle infestation in the area. Planning efforts began with the goals of reducing the risks of wildfire and beetle infestation, enhancing residual tree growth and improving the development of understory grasses, forbes and shrubs. Work to implement this plan will begin mid-May to thin small, ponderosa pine trees (trees 2 to 10 inches in diameter) across a 90-acre area of Plese Flats. Agency Stewardship and park staff, working with DNR and DOC staff, will oversee the safe felling and processing of the harvested trees by low-risk DOC offenders. Some of the trees, which have very little commercial value, will be processed as firewood for purchase at the park. The agencies plan to treat 20 to 25 acres per year. Work for 2012 is expected to be completed by mid-June, with the total project expected to be completed by 2015.

LG Enlighten / Optimus Slider / Optimus Zip
Average Ratings
hide detailed ratings
Carrier: Verizon Wireless
Just changed from this to a Spectrum, but that was my employer's choice not mine. The Enlighten is definitely a steady-Eddie of a smartphone. Very reliable all-around, never had any of the usual smartphone issues like freezing, power-cycling, etc. It just worked. Touchscreen could be a tad more responsive as I found myself having to deliberately press on a link or shortcut, a light touch or brush just doesnt do it with this phone. The keyboard is very functional, doesn't add much extra bulk and the buttons worked every time.
Sharp, clear display screen
Feels very "un-bulky" for a keyboard smartphone
Calls were loud and clear, no drops
Battery life is terrible even under light use
Touchscreen responsiveness is merely average
No flash on the camera so flashlight apps are limited
Sound from speakerphone is weak, could be louder

Love It
I love this phone. My husband paid much more for his Droid, but his has a few glitches. I have had the Enlighten for about 5 months and have had no problems with it. I am a big LG fan. Our family has ALWAYS had good luck with LG phones. Just remember that with smart phones you have to charge daily.

Exceeds Expectations
What a great phone this is! For the pre-paid segment, this is most likely one of the best phones out there for the end of 2011.
- Stock Android 2.3.4 (Gingerbread)
- Full QWERTY sliding keyboard
- Decent resolution, bright display.
- Fast enough processor
- 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity
- KILLER deals ($35 / $45 / $55 plans)
- 3.2MP camera (no flash)
For the UNLIMITED web, text, messaging plans, you just can't beat it. I went for the $45 (1200 minute voice) plan. $45/mo. beats my previous $90/mo. I was paying through Verizon, and they weren't even giving unlimited data! Just pay the $45 plus tax, that's it. No further taxes or surcharges. What a HUGE savings over the year (save $500/year!), and upgrade to a new handset at anytime.
The keyboard, voice calls, speakerphone, everything works great. No lockups or freeze-ups yet. Streaming Pandora and YouTube via Wi-fi works great; Netflix is off-sync (from what I heard, downloading the previous version fixes it).
The only negative about the phone is the horrendous battery life. The battery itself is slim and small, so this is to be expected. BUT, there is a fix... download 'JuiceDefender' from the Market and increase battery life by at least 50% or more. Otherwise, 1/2 way thru the day the battery will be dead. But with JuiceDefender installed, you can get through to the end of the night. In addition, I noticed snappier overall performance from the phone. Still, expect to charge every night.
I will NEVER go back to a contract again! So glad I switched. This phone rocks for pre-paid, well worth the money!

I like the phone
Bought from radio shack the virgin mobile optimus slider. I'm in Vacaville California, a 3g (not 4g) area. It suits my needs, it's a fun little tool that I also use for business. The camera could be better though - pictures are a little grainy. Love the variety of ring tones and wallpapers, and especially the live wallpaper. I'm not a power user and have not used an android before so my comments are a first time experience. It gave me what I wanted with some fun little surprises like ease of use, rotating screen, qwerty keyboard, latest android version, excellent call quality, decent Internet speed, connected to wifi in the house in 30 seconds. I can adjust power usage so the battery doesn't drain. I hate to be a remorseful buyer and am still looking at reviews for other phones/carriers and this one keeps coming out on top for it's price range and I don't feel that I settled because I went pre-paid.

(AP) -- CORAL GABLES, Fla. - A person with knowledge of the situation tells The Associated Press that the NCAA is accusing Miami of a "lack of institutional control" in the long-awaited notice of allegations against the Hurricanes.
The letter was delivered to Miami on Tuesday, said the person, who spoke on condition of anonymity because neither the NCAA nor the Hurricanes had authorized any public comment.
The institutional-control charge is typically one of the most severe the NCAA can bring in matters like this.

CustomerBobby from Paragould AR
I just pulled the electric element out of the slot and dropped the drip pan in place and slipped the electric element back in place and it was ready to go. It looks almost new. We built a new house in 95. It took 17 months to build it. I got the stainless steel cook top that you can have the grill on one side or you can pull the grill off and slip in the burners. It is only 4 burners but it is plenty to work with. It has a down draft.

TALLAHASSEE (AP) -- Florida lawmakers have passed a statewide ban on texting while driving. The Senate passed a bill (SB 52) on Thursday by 39-1.
Republican Sen. Joe Negron of Stuart was the only no vote. The House approved it earlier this week but added a provision allowing police to use drivers' mobile phone records against them only when texting causes a crash resulting in death or personal injury. That change required it to come back to the Senate. Bill sponsor Sen. Nancy Detert said she decided "not to let the perfect get in the way of the possible" and agreed to the late amendment. The bill now goes to Gov. Rick Scott's desk. Thirty-nine states and the District of Columbia already have texting-while-driving bans for all drivers Click here for more on Sentate Bill 0052 (2013)

What makes a good wine great and a great wine unforgettable? Passion. It might not be heading the tasting notes, but you taste it on the palate and you feel it on finish. It's the culmination of every decision – from soil selection to aging – being driven by the winemaker's unyielding commitment to pour every ounce of themselves, their experience, and their journey into bottled perfection. It's both undeniable and unexplainable, but it's present in the best. And there are few that it's more present than in local winemaker Edgar Torres' Bodega de Edgar wines.
Edgar Torres' wines are handcrafted masterpieces. No surprise really, as Edgar started his journey surrounded by amazing wines as a waiter at the famous Villa Creek Restaurant, and developed from cellar rat to winemaker under the tutelage of McPrice Myers (McPrice Myers Wines) and Russell From (Herman Story Wines), two outstanding winemakers in their own rite. What Edgar pours into every vintage is his love of the art and of the land culminating in a passion for and commitment to small production, natural wines. Sourcing the same grapes as Meyers and From, Bodega de Edgar's wines undergo natural fermentation (no yeast added), where the natural heat of Paso Robles and the yeast within the grape skin initiate fermentation, allowing the varietal and vineyard designate to pronounce itself from nose to finish.
As with most masterpieces, they're few in number and hard to come by. Bodega de Edgar's lots are small and purposely so focusing on quality over quantity.

Assalam alaikum, I've found this 3D tour to Masjid Qubbat As-Sakhrah on the website of al-Quds, I've never been to the Masjid myself but this experience is fun and easy and I felt like I'm really there! Do you think it is ok? I want to show it to my children but I'm concerned that maybe the facts aren't accurate. Any thoughts? has anyone ever tried this tour? this is the link: http://jerusalem.com/tour/dome_of_the_rock_3D |
Assalam alaikum, I've done the tour and it's fine. The graphics could be a little better (or maybe it's just my computer) but otherwise no concerns. The commentary is both helpful and accurate. Enjoy! Hope this helps. |

My hands are always so dry in the winter, this salve gives me hydration that lasts all day long without the oily/greasiness of other products.
i loved this stuff, but my local stores stopped carrying it years ago. i was delighted to find it in my Birchbox! i wash my hands a lot, so my cuticles get pretty dry and cracked year-round. this stuff really moisturizes. it does take a while to soak in, so i really only use it at night - but it works so well for me, that's all i need!
I was recently told at a salon that I had dry cuticles. In my proffession I am constantly washing my hands leaving them dry and sensitive. This oil/salve works very well. It will leave your hands a little oily at first but once it is rubbed in well your hands will feel much softer. Im keeping my fingers crossed for much healthier nails now that I have my cuticles in check as well.
My hands crack in winter. This balm hydrates, protects...and bonus time, smells GREAT. It is a treat to use; sinks into skin and protects cuticles,
This hand and cuticle salve is fantastic.The balm is a tad greasy but that is expected and it eventually absorbed in. It worked beautifully on my cuticles.
I love lavender and this had a really great, natural scent. I look forward to putting in my hand and night so the smell can lull me to sleep.
I bought this with my Birchbox points but I would definitely spend money to buy it again!
Love this stuff ! I have never had a product that moisturizes my hands and cuticles so much. I have the lemony scent which I love and it truly does feel like it is working and that it will help my hands stay young in the long run.
I got a tiny little sample of this in a box. It's lasted me months because one application is so effective! It helps with the strength of my nails as well as those ragged cuticles I get during the winter. I love the citrus scent and the J.R. Watkins label. This is a great brand and I have suggested it to friends and family, and will continue to do so!
I have a problem with really dry skin during the winter time. Fortunately, this hand and cuticle salve helps reduce the pain and dryness.
This hand and cuticle salve works great! Not only does it smell amazing (I got the lavender scent), but it leaves my skin softer. I also love how long-lasting this product is.
My hands and cuticles become unbelievably dry and cracked as soon as fall begins. This salve feels great! Yes, it might be a bit greasy for a few short minutes, but the pay off is worth it. Even after just a few day, I can already feel and see improvement. Thanks for carrying such a great product.

It has been an insane few weeks.
Last night I went to the second of two Fucked Up-curated Christmas shows at the Great Hall, to benefit the COUNTERfit Harm Reduction Program and the Barriere Lake Legal Defense Fund. Fucked Up performed at the first show, but last night's lineup featured Bonjay, Ohbijou, The Rural Alberta Advantage and Sloan (playing all of 1996′s One Chord to Another!).
Serious nostalgia trip–I think the last time I saw the Rural Alberta Advantage was in maybe early 2007 (definitely long before Hometowns was released). I saw them a ton of times in my first year and a half of university, since they were friends of all the bands I was in, and I joined them once at a raucous show at the Embassy in Kensington (actual capacity: something like 25, attendance at those shows: felt like at least 60). It was pretty great to see them play again after so many years and so many shows under their belt.
They broke out "Summertime", which I once covered at the only solo non-recital performance I've ever played in my life. I played two songs (it was at a cabaret/variety show sort of thing) and the other one was a Sloan cover, weirdly enough.
And Sloan … I've seen them something like 20 times–I hesitate to go count the actual number–and this was one hell of a fun evening. Horns for "Everything You've Done Wrong" and "Take The Bench", finally a chance to see "Junior Panthers", "500 Up"(!!) and "Snowsuit Sound" in the encore … and then Leslie Feist came out to kick up the jams for "She Says What She Means". Basically the best.
I also got to play a great show at the Rivoli last weekend–last performance of 2011–with the old Massey Hall crowd. Plenty of wonderful familiar faces in the audience, including a handful of former Massey friends who came to join us for the occasion, made it a pretty amazing night for all of us on stage. Damn, I love these folks.
I also received a Stockhausen LP and a sweet, sweet lunchbox for Christmas from my boyfriend, appeared in the Toronto Star (full article here), and signed an offer of permanent employment at my place of work–pretty happy to be sticking around with my fantastic coworkers.
Recently at work, in fact, I helped work on an HTML5 prototype for a huge agency pitch the company did in New Jersey at the beginning of December. We did really well, and the project's taken on a life of its own, continuing to be built and refined; it will eventually (in January) be revised into a real project instead of just a demo, and I'll be working on that too. It's pretty neat to have been involved in something so huge only a couple of months after starting. Daunting, to be sure–and there were a lot of stressful hours and a few delirious late nights in the office, including one time where there were only two of us and they were filming a movie down in the alley outside our office building involving many teenagers shrieking at the same time; both of us thought we were about to be murdered, I think.
But here we are now and tomorrow's the last day before the holidays and I have a job to come back to, some great things on the horizon (like Love is a Poverty You Can Sell at Next Stage!) and a trip home coming up fast. Things are all right! (even though we didn't get Yu Darvish)

Great, Sleek Boots
October 15, 2013
These are great faux leather boots, with a little faux mink-like lining (not cheap sherpa-like lining that makes your feet sweat). The picture is true to color and the stripe on the side is elastic like, so I think it would be good for those with full calves. I have scrawny calves and had plenty of wiggle room, but it didn't look awkward. However, I am returning them because the 15" shaft proved to be too tall for my 5' tall frame. It came up to my knee and just looked silly.
Pros:High-quality appearance, silky soft lining |

Cute, but small

I normally wear a size 7, but I have to exchange these for a 7.5. It's a tight fit with no socks on, so I recommend ordering a half size up if you want to wear these with socks! :) Other than that, these boots are very well made and great quality for the price!
