Nadia's small idea to collect donations for affected families is now a community-wide drive to collect clothing, food and other necessities to send to storm victims.

The George Smitherman camp has been researching the costs of some of rival Rob Ford platforms.
Using the city's candidate information service, which allows candidates equal access to financial and other information from city staff, Smitherman's people have compiled a detailed look at some of Ford's transit plans, including the penalties for cancelling Toronto's historic order for new streetcars.
Ford has suggested that streetcars cause more congestion than they alleviate and he is proposing to rip up some of the existing downtown lines and halt the building of light rail into the suburbs.
TTC spokesman Brad Ross confirms the numbers are directly from transit officials but many are guesstimates because they represent scenarios the TTC has never had cause to calculate.
"We get asked frequently the cost to cancel contracts for the streetcars. We don't know. It's not the kind of thing we would have undertaken unless direction were given to us," he said.
The cost of ripping up streetcar tracks, for example, is tough to calculate.
"We would never rip up the network. It's not something you would do. If a policy decision was made to eliminate streetcars, then over time, the track and overhead wires would obviously be removed, but only over time… so we never provided an actual dollar figure. It's too difficult to say," according to Ross.
But some of the numbers being floated in response to the Smitherman questions, include:
- $116.3 million wasted on Transit City light rail work so far
- $1.6 billion in contracts against which penalties could be levied, including new streetcars and tunnel boring machines for the Eglinton Transit City line.
- $1,100 to remove and repave each metre of existing streetcar tracks (although Smitherman's documents didn't have the total metres, Ross called The Goods to report that there are 90,000 metres of double track)
-$1,100 to remove each metre of overhead wire along streetcar tracks
-$200 million for new bus garages given that Ford is proposing to replace downtown streetcars with buses
- $407 million for 550 new hybrid buses at a cost of $740,000 each
- $35 million a year for 700 additional bus drivers

The Ultimate Medicine Ball Workout
The Tar Heels Workout
Build a winning physique with this cutting-edge routine from the University of North Carolina's basketball training handbook
Build a winning physique with this cutting-edge routine from the University of North Carolina's basketball training handbook
The idea of completing an entire total-body workout using nothing more than an 8-pound medicine ball may not seem intimidating. But consider: This 10-exercise routine is the same one that University of North Carolina strength and conditioning coach Jonas Sahratian uses to whip the Tar Heels into championship-game shape. It's designed to help you build a rock-solid core, burn fat, and improve your sports performance.
Sahratian calls this workout the Med Ball 400. The 400 represents 400 repetitions—the number players like former Tar Heels star Tyler Hansbrough (shown here) complete when they perform the routine. However, Sahratian suggests you start with 200 reps. (Call it the Med Ball 200.) The best part: All you need is a medicine ball to do this workout any place, any time.
The Medicine Ball 200
The old-school way to get your body in game shape
Perform this routine at the end of your regular workout or as a stand-alone workout, 3 days a week. (Use a 6-, 8-, or 10-pound medicine ball, which you can purchase at .) Do 20 repetitions of each exercise in the order shown. Complete the routine as a circuit, doing 1 set of each movement in succession and without resting. Too easy? Rest 60 to 90 seconds and do the circuit again.
1. Big Circles Standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent, hold a medicine ball with your arms extended directly above your head [A]. Without bending your elbows, rotate your arms counterclockwise [B], using the ball to draw large imaginary circles in front your body [C, D]. Do 10 circles, and then reverse direction to clockwise and do 10 more.
2. Woodchopper Stand with your feet just beyond shoulder-width apart. With your arms nearly straight, hold a medicine ball above your head [A]. Now bend forward at your waist and mimic throwing the ball backward between your legs—but hold onto the ball the entire time [B]. Quickly reverse the movement with the same intensity, and return to the starting position. That's 1 repetition.

LAST CALL 30 MICS 30 NIGHTS Tour
This April, in an effort to drive recognition of Alcohol Awareness Month, Hip Hop artist, activist, and entrepreneur Timmy Grins will be embarking on a 30 stop tour of the greater New York City area. He is scheduled to rock 30 Mics in 30 Nights performing live his eloquent, throat-cutting, public service masterpiece "LAST CALL".
Grins, an admitted alcoholic and several time loser to DWI, has used "LAST CALL" in various mediums to bring light to the darkness and dangers of drinking and driving, underage drinking, and alcoholism. Most prominently, the piece was released as a film shot and directed by Fabio Lomelino. Fabio's eerily magnetizing lens and scalpel work coupled with Timmy's portrayal, conjured from emotions of his own experiences, drive a message that is left "etched in every bone in your skeleton".
Watch: "LAST CALL" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-mr81_hqWY
In addition to the film, Timmy has made habit to speak at high schools, colleges, associations, and other partiers of interest about his own experiences in recovery. Further, he has partnered with the Maryland State Transit Authority and Maryland Institute of Art on an ad campaign. His work with "LAST CALL" was in part reason he was invited to the audience of the Oprah Winfrey Show as a "hero" and bestowed a tremendous basket of gifts as part of a "Favorite Things" episode.
The mission statement of "LAST CALL" is simple: to help those that are ready to be helped and to encourage those that are not, to reconsider their options.

Reviews & ratings
Nice idea, was very excited about a night out at Purl with my partner but left early, disappointed. The place was empty but it appeared to be an issue to move table as basement was dead. The strict front-of-house lady takes herself too seriously, then forgot to take our order and left us feeling very awkward for approaching the bar. Cocktails average and masked by gimmick presentation. Stayed for one, felt unwelcome and left. Waste of £30 & not a true prohibition bar, nobody dares move nor misbehave. They aren't joking when they say "strict table service." Don't bother, Steam Bar saved the night, positive comments likely to be from friends.
CVTH Mon Jul 22Rated as: 1/5 -
I had the worst cocktail ever at this place - it came with 'candied bacon' that was a cold, limp bit of soggy bacon that still have the congealed frying fat on it. TOTALLY gross. When I complained the waiter was incredibly rude to us and so we walked out. Disaster.

Terrible service, horrible cocktails, no atmosphere and amateur decor. Disappointing.
JJ Thu Aug 30 2012Rated as: 1/5 -
This is not just one of the best bars in London, it is one of the best in the world - and I have spent a lot of time in a lot of bars in a lot of countries!
Sitting only (it has a restaurant licence - but nobody eats!) and you need to book in advance for a Friday or Saturday. However, it is well worth it, but you have to expect the unexpected with the cocktails with many of them involving dry ice, liquid nitrogen etc.
If there is just two of you ask to sit at the bar and chat to the bartenders - brilliant.
I will definitely be back on my next trip to London - in fact I might visit London just to go to this bar again.Big John Fri Aug 24 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
This bar just gets better and better each time I visit. The atmosphere, drinks and staff are second to none. A slice of NYC in Marylebone! My only criticism would be that it would be great if it opened later than midnight.
And to people like 'Jamie' below who say the drinks are unpleasant, maybe stick to your 'Sex on the Beach' and 241's at Wetherspoons as you clearly have no taste....Ellie Thu Jul 19 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
I think the best thing about Purl is definitely the atmosphere created by great music and décor. As for cocktails, the presentation is amazing, but some of them do not taste great. And yes, the bouncers can be very rude, which is totally unwarranted, as this is a bar after all, not a club and the people who go there are generally polite, well-off and do not cause problems.
Julia Sat Jun 9 2012Rated as: 3/5 -
A unique, imaginative and impressive bar. Have been here four or five times over the last few years and I have never been disappointed. To the commenters saying service was slow - granted, it's not the fastest in town, but these are drinks that take time to prepare and so should take time to drink and savour, rather than knock back in five minutes flat.
One note of caution though: if you're a fan of sweet cocktails - Sea Breeze, Sex on the Beach, mojitos, etc - don't come here. Purl's cocktails will scare the pants off you.Jo Fri Jun 8 2012Rated as: 5/5 -
Although theatrical half the cocktails we got were unpleasant. There is one thing combining flavours in unusual ways there is another making pleasant drinks.
Make sure you don't get put in the vaults as they have no atmosphere, are very hot and you tend to be forgotten about.
Not really worth the effort.jamie Wed Jun 6 2012Rated as: 2/5 -
I think this is one of the best bars in London, and I've been to a lot of nice places.
The atmosphere is amazing, the music, venue and the decoration just all look like they could have come straight out of the roaring twenties. The cocktails are amazing, they do not only taste exceptional but they also have a 'show'. Order one, trust me.
It's a true gem! Don't believe any of these negative comments, clearly they don't now anything about cocktails and don't know how to have a good time!Elizabeth Wed May 30 2012 -
was in this evening, great cocktails, attentive but discreet staff, nice vibe....thoroughly reccomend

You Kiss by the Book': Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet
Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet presents "star-cross'd" lovers whose plight has become the subject of many of today's novels, plays, films, and television dramas. Explore with your students the techniques that Shakespeare uses to capture the magic of the couple's first meeting and to make that meeting so memorable. This lesson plan complements the study of plot and characterization in Romeo and Juliet in its focus on lyrical form and convention that heighten the impact of the action on the stage.
Winter Math Activities
There are many possibilities for winter math data collection activities. Look for opportunities to have students create tally charts, clothespin graphs, Venn diagrams, bar and line graphs to organize data and analyze the results of the data collection. Build on students' natural fascination with penguins by including these math pattern activities. The Koch Snowflake is an example of an iterative drawing as each successive stage begins with the previous stage. The Koch snowflake begins with an eq
Conceptual Physics
This is a nonmathematical physics textbook, designed so that it can be used either for a semester-length course of the type popularized by Hewitt, or for a shorter course of 8 or 10 weeks. This book is essentially a rewritten version of Discover Physics. The rewrite is intended to do two things: (1) make the book less closely tied to a particular method of teaching, and (2) make it possible to use the book in shorter courses (such as Fullerton College's Physical Science 103A) with the omission o
Dissertation Workshop
The workshop is intended for Doctoral students in the health and social sciences who are at the stage of developing a research proposal. Participants will gain skills in the design of conceptually cogent and methodologically rigorous dissertation proposals. The Workshop has an emphasis on topics that relate to Africa, but can be applied to a broad range of research issues.
Conflict resolution: Raising an issue
The way we raise an issue has a significant effect on the entire problem-solving process. By raising an issue in a constructive way, we set the stage early for resolving the conflict productively. The purpose of this unit is to give participants an opportunity to practice and explore this type of problem solving.
Semi-Riemann Geometry and General Relativity

Counsel to the Internet Client: Practical Advice, Strategy and Litigation
This semester, we will explore the nuts and bolts of advising and defending Internet-related businesses, organizations and individuals. With the help of practicing cyberlawyers and other outside participants, we will delve into some of the most contested issues involving intellectual property, speech, and privacy on the Net, and the means by which courts and legislatures are asked to take sides and, at times, affect the course of the Internet's evolution.
Elementary GLOBE: Earth System Play
The class will brainstorm, write, create, and produce a play in which they represent how all the Earth systems are interconnected. This play can be based on the Elementary GLOBE book "All About Earth: Our World on Stage" or on other student-generated topics representing interconnections of the Earth systems. The purpose of the play is to serve as a performance assessment providing students with the opportunity to display what they have learned about the Earth as a system in a creative manner. Th
Elementary GLOBE: We're All Connected
A learning activity for the "All About Earth: Our World on Stage" book in the Elementary GLOBE series. One of the "big ideas" in Earth system science is the notion of interaction among parts of the Earth system. In the Elementary GLOBE book All About Earth: Our World on Stage, the children in Ms. Patel's class discuss instances of how the four major spheres of Earth's system interact. They symbolize these interactions by using large arrows to link the system components: air, water, soil, living
Elementary GLOBE: Earth System in a Bottle
A learning activity for the "All About Earth: Our World on Stage" book in the Elementary GLOBE series. In pairs, students will create experimental conditions in terrariums in order to study what plants need to live. Variables to study include the presence or absence of soil, water, and sunlight. Students will record the growth of radish plants as well as observations of "the water cycle" in their terrariums. At the conclusion of their experiments, students will share their results with the class
Beckett, Borges, & Nabokov, Spring 2009
There are a number of goals for this course. By the end of the semester, it is my hope that you will:
* Gain comfort in reading difficult fictional narratives with a careful attention to detail, narrative technique, intertext, and context;
* Reflect on how you read literature and share these reflections with the class;
* Learn to engage in a critical dialogue with your peers and with the scholarship in the field;
* Develop research skills applicable to the study of literature;

"It Was Considered Low Music": Pianist Eubie Blake on the Birth of Ragtime at the Turn of the Centur
Ragtime music, with its syncopated, polyrhythmic style, was born, according to cultural historian Robert Snyder, in the 1890s in the black saloons and brothels of southern and Midwestern cities like Baltimore and St. Louis. By the end of the 19th century ragtime had assumed a place at the center of American popular music and remained there until the 1920s. Ragtime meant a tinkling piano and no one played the ragtime piano any better or longer than Eubie Blake, born in Baltimore in 1887. In this
"We Did Not Have Enough Money": George Miller's Testimony about the 1919 Steel Strike
In the dramatic 1919 steel strike, 350,000 workers walked off their jobs and crippled the industry. The U.S. Senate Committee on Education and Labor set out to investigate the strike while it was still in progress. In his testimony before the committee, Clairton worker George Miller called the 1919 strike a quest for "a standard American living"--a phrase that was particularly meaningful to the Serbian-born Miller.
Post-Settlement Erosion and Deposition

We are a young couple down in La Mesa with a few Langstroth hives. We also have a top bar hive we might try out if we get the chance. We've done a few hive removals and captured a late swarm in the area, but lost our first hive that we got too late in the season last year. We're starting again this year with some hives we ordered from Craig Noorlander. We saw the active group up in Albuquerque and thought we would look around and see if anyone else was down here. Glad to see there are some other active hobby beekeepers in the area!
~Jenny and Graeme

Hello Jenny and Graeme!
I have one of the Noorlander hives that I got through Les Crowder and it is the best one that I have at this point. How are yours doing?
Great to hear from you, welcome!

Recycling Dredged Material in the Great Lakes
Often dredged material is simply mud (wet dirt) or wet sand. Contrary to popular belief, not all dredged material is contaminated. Using dredged material can offset the need to mine or import sand or soil from other areas. It can also save valuable space in costly disposal facilities for those really contaminated materials that cannot be reused. Clean dredged material can be used for a variety of purposes, including habitat restoration, topsoil enhancement, general fill, landscaping and road bed construction. Mildly contaminated materials can often be used for things like daily landfill cover, capping more contaminated sites, and as aggregate for construction materials that lock in the contaminants. This web site provides three different portals for getting information about sources of dredged material near you that can be used beneficially: 1) Frequently Asked Questions for general inquiries; 2) a MapFinder for getting detailed information on specific sediment locations around the Great Lakes; and 3) an Advanced Query that allows you to find material closest to you and that suits your needs.
Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions about the location, sources and kinds of sediment available for reuse at Great Lakes harbors and sediment storage facilities.
Map Finder
Use this clickable map to get more detail on harbors and sediment storage facilities around the Great Lakes.
Advanced Query
Input your location and the distance you are willing to travel to answer the following: Where can I find sediment near me? Where can I find sandy sediment near me?

It Is Time To Decriminalise Cannabis
A court case in which a judge did the right thing by avoiding a custodial sentence is a good starting point for marijuana reform. Let's start by making medical cannabis legal now.
Niall Stokes, 21 Sep 2012
A glance through the crime pages of the national dailies can be deeply dispiriting. It is an arena in which the sheer grubbiness of so much of what goes on in society becomes horribly palpable. Murders, armed robberies, stabbings, rape, abuse of children – there is generally little or nothing that can be said in favour of those who are guilty of crimes involving violence.
Now and then something even grimmer in its way, or more poignant, emerges, where the accused has a history of psychiatric disturbance and you can imagine the terrible murk through which the individual and his or her family have struggled in the past to end up here, at the butt end of the criminal justice system, hoping for some kind of understanding and mercy to prevail.
The catalogue of misery doesn't end there. Over the past year or two, there has been an apparently endless stream of court cases involving banks foreclosing on people who cannot repay monstrous levels of personal debt. The reports give an insight into just how horribly wrong things have gone since the property bubble burst, for what are generally ordinary, decent people trying to do their best but who have made decisions that will likely haunt them for the rest of their lives.
And then there are the less complicated cases – generally non-violent petty crimes that barely merit the time it takes to prosecute them – where the accused really does become a source of sympathy. There is a story of social deprivation and disadvantage behind virtually every one of these. The worst of it is when you see disproportionately draconian sentences being handed down by an irascible and often boorish judge for the likes of petty theft or dealing marijuana.
You cringe inside, knowing that it is a mistake, a useless and damaging piece of probably unconscious vindictiveness that compounds the felony, rather than offering a basis for learning, starting again and developing a different way of living …
Which is why it is so uplifting to see a court making a good decision in relation to a non-violent crime that might well have gone the other way. As it happens, the accused was a schoolboy – he's 16 years of age now – who at the age of 14 was caught in his home in West Dublin, with €40,000 worth of cannabis in his school satchel. The amount was sufficient to merit a long custodial sentence. In the event, however, following a guilty plea and positive reports from the social services and probation officers involved, Judge Anne Ryan decided differently, sentencing the kid to nine months supervised probation. It was a victory for common sense, holding out the hope that the young man might now be allowed to mature into a fully functioning citizen, capable of giving something back to society, rather than going into prison, there to be further inculcated into the criminal ethos and way of life.

The Tiltfactor Laboratory makes screen based computer games as well as street games and table top games like card games and board games. Unlike typical commercial games, our mission is to focus on "critical play". We make games for children, for adults, for the public, and for particular communities to raise issues, discussion points, or just innovate play in novel ways.
While our games can be seen as educational, it is important to us that they are fun!
Our software and playful art fosters rewarding, compelling, and socially-responsible interactions, with a focus on inventive game design for social change.
"Adjust for inflation, the federal bailout of $8.5 trillion is more expensive than every war the US has ever fought, the Louisiana Purchase, the Marshall Plan, the New Deal, and the Nasa Space Program COMBINED."
Tiltfactor and the collaborative Values at Play project are proud to announce the release of the new casual computer game, LAYOFF.
Developed by members of the Tiltfactor Lab and the Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) Game Design and Development program, LAYOFF is an examination of the current financial scandal.
LAYOFF uses a simple casual game paradigm to comment on the current state of the US financial crisis. Both friends and strangers face tough times in an unstable economy. Part dark humor, mostly grim portent, in the game players play from the side of management needing to cut jobs, and match types of workers in groups in order to lay the workers off and increase workforce efficiency.

Here we resume our tale of a long weekend of drinks, midges etc and yet more food. I will continue with my alphabet theme, because if I abandoned it half way through I'd have to consider myself an utter philistine and delete myself from my own Facebook friends, which would be a bit tricky and possibly involve dividing by zero. If you missed the first post, you can find it here.
First for today is the Harajuku Kitchen. The ladies at the Harajuku Kitchen provided my very first meal of the festival, in the form of these pork dumplings:
They came with soy, chili oil and coriander, and I asked if I could add some spring onions, too. They were a great snack, exactly what I wanted at the time and really beautifully made. Lovely to look at, enticing to sniff, the meat was moist and the dumpling wrapper just the right texture. Obviously these ladies are experts.
We also ate a couple of portions of soba noodles over the weekend. These, by all accounts, were just as good as the dumplings. What I particularly liked about them was the evidence of fresh vegetables, the importance of which cannot be overestimated when it comes to a weekend of day drinking.
Everything was thoroughly enjoyed, and I only wish we'd been around longer to try their sushi, veggie dumplings and miso soup. There was only so much eating (and spending) a person could do, really. Harajuku Kitchen are based in Edinburgh and you can also find them on Facebook.
My next food-based discovery was Twirly Tatties. I am sad to say that I can't find any more info online about Twirly Tatties and will simply have to attend every UK festival from now on, seeking their crispy delights. I took a few photos of the process, and the two vendors were so friendly and happy to oblige me that I felt even better about eating approximately my own body weight in potatoes over the weekend.
First you use a special potato peeling device, powered by an electric drill, to reduce a formerly solid member of the potato community to a long strip of ruflles. Then you drop these into a huge trough of hot oil, drop into a tray and season with sea salt, then pack into a paper cone.
Mr J ate one of these and said 'danger'. This is exactly right. Three of the four of us are self confessed crisp addicts and we appreciated these twirly tatties more than your average human might. They are crispy and salty, just as you'd imagine a great, freshly cooked crisp, but then in some places they are just a little soft and chewy, and that, my friends, is the hook. There's another festival coming up in August that we're going to, if Twirly Tatties aren't there I'll be sad. Look at their friendly faces! And that friendly tattie!
Second to last is the first place I handed a business card to, and was so reassured by Rob's reaction that I proceeded on a one-woman spree of photo-taking and business-card-handing. You all have him to hold responsible for it. Well, and me… This place is called Wild Rover Food, and by heavens, there are a lot of cool things about it. Firstly, they rock up at festivals and markets in a 1961 Land Rover with a reconditioned army field kitchen, ready to set up and start cooking at a moment's notice. They place great emphasis on local, fresh produce, and they were offering wonderful Scottish food for our delectation. Rob even let me take a couple of photos of him at work:
This was the breakfast special, created with great skill and love and displayed with a great lack of same. Scrambled eggs (and perfectly scrambled, might I add), smoked salmon, parsley in a buttered whole wheat roll. I hoovered this up in no time at all. Simple food, done exactly right.
This was the Game-On Wrap, displayed again with no aesthetic ability on my part. I was so ready to get tucked in, I'd had my eye on this since we arrived at the festival. It's pigeon sauteed with bacon and onions, laid on a wrap with beetroot puree and salad leaves. That beetroot and pigeon mix – oh man. I couldn't stop talking about it, it was even better than I imagined.
Wild Rover are regulars at Stockbridge market and at festivals around the country, plus they do catering for functions and such. You can keep track of their movements here - I'm delighted to see that they'll be at Doune in August, can't wait to see what they're dishing up then.
The last of the food tales from Kelburne is Woodburns Espresso Pizza – and let me tell you, these people sure know how to whip up a pizza in no time. They came prepared with their wood burning stove and a great big tent; I got a couple of snaps:
The G man is a particular fan of pizza, and really enjoyed Woodburns'. It looked and smelled like the real thing, similar to home made pizzas I tried in Italy with a crisp crust and few toppings, all of great quality. The staff were friendly and knew what they were about, and there were certainly a lot of people milling around with pizzas and happy faces.
Woodburns can also be found at festivals around the country, and I intend to try them properly for myself the next time.
Alongside all the snacks, we had drinks. Many drinks. The bars were stocked with local ale, beer and cider. Being more of a cider drinker myself, I opted to stick with the Thistly Cross cider, which hails from East Lothian. I tried the original, ginger and strawberry varieties, because I am very thorough in my research methods, and the strawberry suited my sweet tooth down to the ground. Or the root, I suppose. Here is just one of the lovely bar staff who was providing these lovely ciders, and a surprise giraffe:
There were also some excellent cocktails which cost less at the festival than they would in the pub, and therefore we drank a few of them because it would have been costing us money not to. Something along those lines, anyway.
Here is a Gallery of Booze:
As you can definitely tell, I've never really taken Rock Salt on the road before. I had a great time at the festival, and part of that was identifying myself as a blogger and interacting with people who usually I would just have exchanged please and thank yous (and money and food) with. It was a great experience, and even if my photography isn't the finest, I think it gives a flavour (ahahaha) of the Kelburn Garden Party, and the great, local food vendors who are working their socks off in difficult conditions and when faced with crowds of drunk (though good natured) people. I take my pirate hat off to each of the companies I've mentioned in these posts, and to all the rest who I didn't get the time to speak to and buy from.
Thank you all, so very much.

Some folks in the old world have very long memories. I suspect this march is more about Ukrainian nationalism than about remembering the sacrifice of the soldiers in the Battle of Kruty.
Yuriy Dyachyshyn / AFP - Getty Images
Some 2000 young Ukrainian nationalists, carrying torches, march in Lviv late on January 29, 2011 to mark the 93rd anniversary of a battle near the small city of Kruty. 300 students, cadets and schoolboys were killed, during a combat against the regular Red Army on Jan. 29, 1918, to protect the new-born Ukraine's People Republic against Bolshevik aggression.

*Second time me trying this*
Special Paranormal Encounter Evaluation Division or S.P.E.E.D for short is an academy that teaches and trains students to become operatives to keep the peace between the magical world and the natural world. Hunting down demons,gods, humans etc. and ether exterminating them or imprisoning every job the operatives ranges in difficulty from E to S, every job is assigned to them by the head S.P.E.E.D Noxx Hollow. The very bottom of the HQ is a maximum prison that house some of the most powerful and uncontrollable enemies, these cells are specially designed to contain each one the reason they are imprisoned for the sole reason that if they are killed the natural world would suffer for instance if the spider queen were to be killed all spiders would go extinct.
This is an academy mixed with Ga Rei zero kind of RP things such as guns are allowed but guns in this world dont shoot lead bullets in order to harm anything of the super nature you'd have to use mana so these guns take away from your characters mana pool or soul essence to fire, on one hand you have unlimited bullets on the other you could die from over use. Magic is strongly influenced in the rp itself all types of magic are welcomed except time magic idc what your excuse is you're not rewinding time etc etc. Race isn't a big deal to me you could be a ghost neko shark dog for all I care your partner could be a humanoid red panda who knows dunk boxing, idc. Everything you will be sent on has its own difficulty and a way to beat it such as demons don't like holy water or scripture readings, tree monsters obviously don't like fire etc etc.

THE MAROON Loyola University New Orleans VOL. 82, NO. 16 FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 13, 2004 MAROON.LOYNO.EDU WIO FAILS TO MOVE BYRON By Naomi King Staff writer Interim president firmly opposed to student production of'The Vagina Monologues' Interim President the Rev. William Byron, S.J.. definitively said "No," to the Women's Issues Organization regarding a production of "The Vagina Monologues" as possible public entertainment at Loyola . At an open forum Wednesday night, Byron was asked directly if the play would be allowed on campus. "We have actors, producers, and directors ready. We want to know, yes or no?" asked Stephanie Margherio, English senior and WIO member. "Ynn really pnnh me and I'm saying, 'No,'" Byron responded. The decision was based on the fact that the play was set to be produced by a student organization, the Women's Issues Organization, according to Byron. He stressed the distinction that "adult ■students arc not adult professionals, with the education, training, experience, and judgment of what's appropriate." Mary McCay, English department chair, asked, hypothetically, if the English department could sponsor a production of "The Vagina Monologues" as a public event. "I would hope you wouldn't do that," replied Byron, "because it would be perceived by the community as a confrontation [between the English department and the administration]." Initially, Byron denied the Administrators move ahead with scholarship plan By Gene Guillot Sports Editor and Joe Rosemeyer News Editor Arrangements for six athletic scholarships are moving forward despite widespread outcry from faculty members and the failure of a resolution in the Student Government to support such scholarships. "I have been directed by the president through the provost. Dr. Walter Harris, to move forward with the plan," Dean of Admissions Deborah Steiffel said. "The recruitment process is in place. The ad hoc committee on athletic scholarships is meeting weekly to iron out the exact process for eligibility, selection and renewal." Through two separate meetings on the issue, the University Senate had failed to appoint a faculty member to the ad hoc committee as of press time Wednesday. "I don't want to put a person on this committee because this issue shouldn't have come up in the first place," communications professor Mary Blue said at the Jan. 15 meeting. In response to an informal email poll by University Senate President Nancy Dupont, six members of the faculty voted for athletic scholarships and 15 opposed, out of forty total senate members. "I'm surprised by the reaction of the faculty," the Rev. William Byron, SJ., university president, said at a special senate meeting Jan. 22. "If I had realized it would be so significant in your minds, I wouldn't have gone ahead with the decision. I apologize for that." The senate called a special Town Hall meeting on Feb. 5 in Roussel Hall, so that all members of the university could discuss the scholarship proposal. At different points in the meeting, the discussion drifted to debates on whether the faculty should have been consulted about the scholarships and the validity of an SGA poll that showed student opinion favoring athletic scholarships.

RIGHT: University Senate President Nancy Dupont presides over the Town Hall meeting, where students and faculty gathered to discuss athletic scholarships. Seven researchers share grant money By Lan Bui Staff writer Seven Richard Frank Grant applicants are moving ahead with their projects after finding out Saturday that they had received portions of the $7,500 annual allotment. The grant, which commemorates the late assistant professor and chairman of the department of modern foreign languages Richard Frank, is offered to Loyola students who are interested in performing scholarly research in the areas of natural sciences, social sciences or communications. The recipients are psychology senior Nicholas Holtzman, graduate music senior Jason Bongard and chemistry pre-med junior Katherine Vaden, criminal justice/sociology junior Kerry Deichmann and communications junior Regina Rivard, classical studies junior Katherine Jones and communications senior Melissa Guidry. The grant's criteria are that the recipients receive approval and project supervision by a faculty member, and that the recipients use the funds as designated by the Student Government Association's academic affairs committee. Students also are to perform their scholarly research for academic credit hours. Thirteen applicants applied for the Richard Frank Grant since mid-January. They submitted a two-part information packet that consisted of a qualitative response with a recommendation letter from a faculty member and a financial request for the collection of original data costs, travel costs, and rental or purchase of equipment costs. The academic affairs committee categorized the applications into piles A, B and C based on the strength of the application in the relation to other applications. Accordingly, pile A represented that the applicant deserved priority funding while piles B and C LATIN HEAT GOES UNDERGROUND LEFT: Salsa instructors Juan "Chino" Fukuda and Tuyet-Anh Huynh practice their moves before lessons.

England in India, 2012 - 13 (Full Coverage) | |||||
What England did right, and India didn't |
Bangalore, 2012/11/29 06:38:36 , |
England were better prepared compared to Ahmedabad. Monty Panesar was in the thick of things. Cook, along with Andy Flower and his think tank, had done the paperwork which was reassuring and only execution remained. The field placing was eye-popping. Cook lured Sehwag to playing against Monty's turn by keeping the on-side field open. There were men around the bat at all times, even when Cheteshwar Pujara and R Ashwin tried to stitch a threatening partnership. They were always on the quest for wickets.
India, on the other hand, seemed to have a problem of over-confidence. They expected things to happen very quickly and when nothing did, lost their plot. Kevin Pietersen attacked the bowlers and forced Dhoni to spread the field. Soon, there was no silly point or short leg. There were just one or two fielders close to the bat when the experienced Harbhajan Singh was asked to roll his arms over. Captain cool panicked every time a boundary was scored in the gap, and soon came another change in the field. Pietersen was not just in total control of the game, but also Dhoni's mind.
The Indian spinners never got their line and length right. Cook and Pietersen were hardly caught on the wrong foot. The bowlers rarely made them stretch and play forward. Every time they tried, Pietersen danced down the track to upset the rhythm of the bowlers all over again. There were a few rough patches that the Indians could have targeted, but the likes of Bhajji and Ashwin were more engaged in bowling at the pads of the left hander Cook. There were a couple of instances when Pietersen's bat pads fell in the vacant forward short-leg region. Dhoni didn't seem to have the confidence in Harbhajan, who bowled just half the overs Ashwin and Ojha did in the first innings and despite being the most experienced spinner in the world at the moment, he couldn't work his way through the defensive field set courtesy Pietersen.
Another significant difference between what the English spinners and their Indian counterparts bowled was the pace at which the ball was released. The English spinners were quick to assess that taking pace off the ball wouldn't help on this wicket. They got the ball to grip, bounce and turn a lot more than the Indian spinners by darting it a lot quicker. They bowled in the mid 90s (kmph) consistently while the Indians were more often stuck in the late 80s. The new ball was taken soon after it was available, hoping Zaheer could do some damage, but the English batsmen were never out of place.
After gaining a handy lead in the first innings, England were even more certain about their plans. They exploited the rough, kept the pressure on with plenty of men round the bat and the Indian batsmen were fooled in their own territory. It is easier to blame Dhoni for requesting a turner from the curator or the team management for picking Harbhajan. But once the 11 players walk out, they are expected to give their hundred percent, irrespective of how the wicket behaves and what opposition they are up against. The most experienced batsman in the team, Sachin Tendulkar, scored just 8 in each innings. Kohli seemed irresponsible and fell for rash miscalculated shots on both occasions. Yuvraj Singh looked like a cat on tin roof against spin and the Dhoni didn't fare better either. Monty kept finding the edges and the Indians tumbled like a pack of cards. The Indian bowlers had absolutely nothing to play for, when they came out to bowl on day 4. The final rites were done much quicker than they could imagine. England won by ten wickets on a rank turner, an achievement every Englishman will be proud of.
The 4 match series is now leveled 1-1. India have to go back to the drawing board and assess their game-plan. If only the players concentrate more on their strengths and the opposition's weaknesses, rather than keeping one eye on the wicket that's being prepared, they might come up with a better performance. Apart from Cook, Pietersen and Matt Prior, the English batting line-up still looks brittle. Test cricket is all about doing more things right than the opposition. England did, this time around. Will India turn things around in Kolkata?

By Sharmine Narwani
There is a lot of noise coming out of different quarters about the "imminent collapse" of the UN observer mission in Syria. "Dead on arrival," says one American commentator. "Failure to uphold truce," accused the White House and UN Secretary-General Ban Ki Moon, pointing fingers at the Syrian government.
French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe warned the international community – just one day after the Mission Protocol was signed – to "prepare for the possible failure" of peace efforts. The very same day, his US counterpart Hilary Clinton enthused: "We need to start moving very vigorously in the Security Council for a Chapter 7 sanctions resolution," which allows for UN resolutions to be militarily enforced.
The Syrian Muslim Brotherhood was more specific about their concerns. They're worried about the "non-objective results it might issue."
Non-objective results? This sounds all too familiar. Usher in the discourse surrounding the Arab League observer mission in December/January, and you will find the exact doom-and-gloom rhetoric from more or less the same cast of characters, this time headed by Western-allies Qatar and Saudi Arabia.
Ironically, it was Qatar and Saudi Arabia who vigorously championed the Arab League Mission until Syria decided to participate. The moment it became clear that monitors would enter Syrian hotspots and report back their observations, those two countries started counter-spinning aggressively against the investigative mission, eventually scuttling it altogether.
Next came their demands to "upgrade" to an "international" observer group led by the United Nations. But now that the Syrian government has agreed to the terms of the UN mission, the negative rhetoric – from the same geopolitical bloc of nations/allies – is once more threatening to cast doubt on the mission and its ability to positively impact events in Syria.

Reviews for Apple Bread(10)
Sort By :
Is this recipe correct? I mixed it up this morning and it was too dry to bake.
This recipe is bad. Like others said, something is wrong with this recipe. DON"T MAKE IT.
I agree with the other reviews...dough was very dry and crumbly. I think this recipe needs to be removed or revised for those of us that don't read reviews first. I added a half cup of oil and another egg. It's still in the oven, but I hope it turns out alright. I hate to waste my time and ingredients. Very disappointed!
I have never heard of apple bread before but it is really good and with going into apple season this is great - I used Granny Smith apples - it was awesome
Good recipe, the only I added a small mixture of cinnamon and sugar to the bottom of the loaf pans before pouring in the batter and then sprinkled some on top before putting it in the oven. Gave it a nice flavor, will definitely make it again.

Ok so I've been playing this for about 250-300 games. I must admit I started as a pretty big scrub as it's been years and years since I played DotA. At first I thought nothing of the PSR and just wanted some games, now I've got the feeling I'm stuck though.
I'm stuck between 1500-1600 PSR. I never seem to go below or above in the last 150 or so games and it's infuriating. In games I win I've more than often felt like I had to make the difference quite often having a level gap of 5+ between me and my teammembers. Either that or it's a full-on teamrape, never that close, never that satisfying. So far it's alright.
But when I lose for example with tempest dragging 4 heroes in while 2-3 of my allies stand by scratching their balls and run away when it ends leaving me to die makes me pull my hair out. Especially when after that happening 4 times they winch about me feeding.
These comments come from people with a negative win ratio and a negative K/D ratio (big ones in some cases) yet PSR ratings of 1600-1800. I've played this evening with a chronos who used chrono field on one melee opponent while me (legio) and a ranged in close range were stuck in. 2 of us stunned, instead of getting the kill chronos runs off, 2 ranged enemy heroes move in and kill us while stunned by chronos.
All in all I wonder what errors I'm making. Should I go pure statwhore (which I despise) and just killsteal during matches. Should I go for games where I get impossible odds and get a a +50/-5 risk and hope I win every 4-5 times and gain PSR like that?
I'm no hardcore player, I'm no pro but I do want to advance. I feel at times my teamwork (tempest example) is wasted on pubs and I'm stuck in the same bracket right now. My online mates stick to FPS games so no help there.
Any tips, similiar expierences or any rage to vent? Feel free to post. And I know I'm a noob/scrub/idiot/etc so keep the obvious comments aside please.
I got 2k PSR purely playing in solo pubs. I am not a statwhore.
Even though it may seem like you're a scrub, your probably aren't. The majority of HoN players have never actually played DotA and don't understand many of the common sense tactics most people should know.
I notice more and more people play this game for the sake of griefing if not to attempt to play the game. After their precious Scout hero is picked away from them in the first few seconds people get pissy and just act like dicks.
If you play DotA the same people that would play like **** would just leave, in HoN they care about leaver ratio because it MATTERS. Instead they stay around and make your game suck by feeding, when you could easily 4v5 without them.
Just my 2 cents. I'm stuck in the same situation you are.
Its so horrible when your teammates do such stupid things one of the last matches i played was a game with 1600 guys who wanted to push mid every time all enemys are in the fog and blamed the team every time they got killed this way.
The first tip is play non -em i play often em but this stupidity is what drives me into non em games now cause there is the laning phase longer and not so much crazy guys. First i thought talk as much as possible and give them hints helps but thats not the case after i told the 5th time back and they dont got killed and got 2 of the 5 gankers they told me i should stop to call back when its not needed ignoring the 5 times they died before.
And try to find the highest games you can join if your psr is 1600 join 1600+ if your psr is 1650 join 1650+ this makes it least common to get a team that ruines everything.
I was stucked like you playing heroes such as: tempest, shaman, pollywog (support....)
I decided it was time for me to carry.... and i'm now running in the 1650ish!
Well shaman is going quite well in most games but it's mostly about picks. I've had too many expierences with people picking 3-4 carriers in total so I wait it out, see what's needed.
9 out of 10 times proper support is needed though. I don't want to be that guy going for the carry in the first 2 seconds of the picks without talking with other peeps. Even though the majority doesn't seem to communicate back at all about their picks....
I forgot to mention I almost solely play SD. The reason behind this was so I could learn all the heroes one by one. At first I was completely overwhelmed by the ammount of heroes and their abilities, right now however I feel I've got a pretty good feel as to what I should expect from my enemies and what item build goes well with what heroes depending on the situation.
Is a switch to AP perhaps in order or does it make no difference?
It can be difficult to raise your PSR with pubs, ofr instance I have over 500 games and I'm not even at 1700+ yet, but I'm getting mine up because I play with my clan. You should consider joining TGM which is the Training Ground clan.
In all honesty though do not worry to much about PSR it doesn't represent your skill level and will most likely be reset after beta.
Your PSR shouldn't really change that drastically, it's just how good you are. I've been trying to get to 1900 for weeks, but I'm always just under it.
I don't care about K:D stats, obviously.
Current Suggestions:
[Item] Smoke Screen *Now Playable in Practice Mode*
[Remake] Harkon's Blade *Now Playable in Practice Mode*
[Remake] Ghost Marchers, Steamboots, and Plated Greaves
Congrats, you have found that PSR is working just fine, your PSR is 1500-1600. Thats it. Your win % should be about 50%.
There is no shame in it, its just the level you are at.
be happy, i'm stuck between 1350 to 1450 even tho that my stats aren't of that level =( i just keep losing games over and over again >.<
Well that's the problem. I don't have the feeling at all I'm at level 1500-1600. In games I lose I've been putting in my best making a difference but idle teammates/leavers/feeders or just complete noobs undo all the work. In games I win I had to make the difference more often than not. I feel like most of the teams I team up with are dragging me down.
I also get the idea that the ammount of teamwork goes up around 1600+, at least I had a few games where people would actually discuss picks, communicate ingame and alike. Perhaps it might be easier to find your way up from there. Of course I can't tell for sure.
I know I come across as an elitist prick like this but after about 7-8 years in gaming in both FPS/RTS and games alike I've got a pretty good feeling of my potential and areas of improvement. I know I can improve but I need to face better opponents with better teammates. I keep getting beat on teamwork (by the enemy) but that's not something I can work on by myself.
With FPS games for instance I can spot my flaws and work on them. Teamwork wise I can work on it with my clan yet I do not have that in HoN. All in all it's not that I'm afraid people will think "omfg a noob, PSR <1600", it's the fact that I want a new challenge and an opportunity to improve myself. I was hoping there was another way of doing it than joining a clan since when I start something I want to fully commit and I don't have that much time.
That being said: this TGM clan, do they have any kind of link or a topic on this forum? I'd be interested to join with a solid group where my input would compliment the team effort more and visa versa. I should note that I'm european though, my english is fine even though it isn't my native language.
Get some friends
... maybe I should word that better :P
A lot of team play comes from knowing what your teammates are going to do in certain situations i.e. when they are going to use their stun/disable/nuke and when they are going to go back (25% health or full health and oom). To get a good grasp of teamplay you have to establish a group of friends who you play with regularly. Next time you get along with someone really well in a game just add them to your friends list and ask them if they want to play another game. If they don't well no harm done, if they do, great, you've just expanded your HoN network.
TGM will be a great start for you to develop your team skills, in higher level games it's completely impossible to win by yourself, you have to work as a team, whether you're a carry hero or support. To join TGM just send a message to Anari or DenyTheTruth in-game, as found here: http://forums.heroesofnewerth.com/sh...ad.php?t=30778
I think a big problem of PSR is that its a too unidimensional parameter of evaluation. For instance, consider both sides have players around 1650 PSR, without a big variation. But in one side, all the K ratios are bigger than 1,2; and on the other, all the K are less than 0,8. Are the odds of 50-50 real? I think not.
Other problem is the teamwork. Think about the same situation, both sides with PSR around 1650, but now both sides with K around 1,2. But one side is full of friends. In fact, only friends. Again, are the odds of 50-50 representing reality?
I think any game that has locks as restrictions to balance suffers inbalancing. Duh. But the point is that if I understood correctly what the Quick Play is, it could solve this problem. There would be no locks, and in a long-term thinking, you wouldn't win PSR carried by a much stronger player friend of yours. It would just actually represent your real strenght.
Err...Not possible? PSR is determined by how much you win/lose. Pretty sure you need to be about 50/50 to be ~1550.
Anyway, the more games you play the more accurate your PSR will get. So if you truly are a better player than your PSR indicates you should just play more games.
Picking support is an exercise in futility in low psr games. You can be the best support in the world but if the only people you can support are 1500-1600 psr players it will not get you very far. Your PSR is constantly adjusted so that your win:loss rate is always tending toward your average game balance. Low win rate with high PSR is indicative of someone who frequently plays games balanced in the other teams favor, nothing more, nothing less.

Honestly, if you fluctuate in a certain area for a long time, despite ragers and baddies, it is a good indication of the level your at.
That is, if you always join games, and are unbiased about how you play.
I'm looking in to the whole TGM thing now. As to the whole "it's your true skill" thing, I disagree. Solely because of the fact that I win quite a few games by a lot of effort of myself and uncomplimented teamwork in other cases.
The matches I lose are not because of me not belonging in that bracket (1600-ish) but because I walk into premades, a bunch of friends all on one team. Their teamwork just overwhelms my team of people who picked all of their AGI heroes in the first 2 seconds of the SD picks steamrolling us in no time. People hug their towers, blame each other and another loss is imminent. I could be the most skillful players in the world or the biggest noob; the result will be the same in that case.
With a team of people that communicate I really feel I could go much further. For example; this whole TGM thing works out great and I gain 100-200 PSR, would that mean I became so much more skillful because PSR is the true representation of my skill? Doubtful, I'd just have more of an oppurtinity to express my abilities rather than being held back by premades I have to face.
That being said I might be in for a nasty surprise overestimating myself, who knows. One way to find out though.
Yeah, it seems long posts are not read.
Anyways, I realized something. Say you are 1650 PSR. But you always, always play alone. Say your opponents are 1650 too, but they always, always play together, the five of them. Since probably they have the advantage of the teamwork, which the PSR doesn't represent, it would mean you are better than them. It would mean that if you were to play with a team you would outplay them.
Ok, I know this isn't reflected in reality now. But it is comforting to know that when you find a bunch of teammates you would win over them. And your PSR would rise, anyways.
